I believe I speak for just about everyone when I say that we are all ready to feel the warmth of the summer sun! Even a mild winter like this one wears out its welcome eventually.
Summer in Evergreen always delivers; long, warm, sun-filled days and comfortably cool star-filled nights. Who could ask for more?
The lightheartedness of summer takes its effect in many ways. In the salon, requests for lighter hair increase drastically as the weather shifts; making this a perfect time to address some of the questions we hear most frequently when discussing going blonde.
One of the most important things I want address is compromised hair. This is hair that has been over processed- whether it is controlled over processing to get to the desired lightness or hair that has been taken from dark to light and back again several times. Neither scenario is unusual; we want what we want and change our minds regularly. As stylists, we adapt and do our best to meet the challenge.
One of the most powerful tools we have for these occasions is Olaplex. This additive is a product that every type of color client but particularly blondes can benefit from.
Hair bonds are broken during thermal, mechanical and chemical services. This is a fact. The more chemically processed the hair becomes, the more susceptible it becomes to every other type of damage. Olaplex is added to bleach or color when mixing and works by finding single sulfur hydrogen bonds and cross linking them back together to form disulfide bonds. This amazing product has allowed stylists to push further in terms of lightening the hair, but it has also provided us with a powerful tool for color correction and rebuilding hair that is in the most desperate condition.
In twenty-two years of hair styling I have never seen a repairing product of this caliber. Olaplex can also be used in the salon as a restructuring treatment and has a take home product that helps ensure the longevity of the service between appointments. If you want to know more about Olaplex ask your stylist- it is worth its weight in gold.
This is a debate I hear a lot in the salon. Clients are concerned that their hair will be more damaged by bleach than by high lift color. First things first- lighter blondes (think Katy Perry, Michelle Williams, and Jennifer Lawrence) could not be achieved without bleach. Most likely they have a combination of bleach, high lift color, and darker blonde in their hair to create the lightness and dimension that we are all so drawn to.
The fundamental difference between bleach and color is that bleach lifts pigment (natural AND artificial hair color) out of the hair but it does not add anything back in. Color is designed to lift natural pigment (color cannot break through artificial color in a consistent manner) from the hair while simultaneously depositing artificial color into the hair.
A common misconception is that high lift color isn't as powerful as bleach and therefore must not be as damaging as bleach. The simple truth is that bleach's strength is determined by the volume of developer used, while high lift blonde colors can only lift as much as they do because they are loaded with extra ammonia and mixed with a higher volume of peroxide. This is not to say that high lift blondes are worse than bleach. They are different animals, but they are comparable in terms of chemical and strength. The bottom line here is that your stylist's intention is to please you; a good stylist will choose the least damaging path to the desired result.
A toner's job is to add tonal value to bleached hair (highlights or full head). Remember, bleach lifts color out of the hair, without adding anything back in. A toner can take a bleached blonde from raw to refined in two to twenty minutes. Toners wash out over time so depending on how often you shampoo your hair, you may be a candidate for toning in between highlight appointments.
Not all bleach blondes require a toner; often times bleached hair looks beautiful in its raw form. This is highly dependent on where the bleaching process starts, for example how dark the beginning color is, how damaged the hair is, etc.
There are also toning shampoos and conditioners on the market designed to be used as needed at home. They are usually purple and are great for blondes who evolve to more brassy/ golden tones between appointments. This happens a lot to swimmers, people with well water, and those who spend a lot of time outdoors. At Essence, our favorite is Surface Pure Blonde Violet Shampoo and Conditioner.
Base bumping is a quick color process that lightens the base color around the hairline and in the crown area just enough to subdue the difference between the natural hair color and the lightness of the highlights. It is great for clients who like their hair to be very blonde and heavily highlighted but do not want to take the next step into being a solid blonde. It takes the edge off of their base color which gives an overall softer, lighter appearance.
Base bumping is done at the shampoo bowl, right after the highlights are rinsed. Base bumps can also be done in between highlight appointments to keep color looking fresh.
While many color services take about 2 hours, drastic changes cannot always happen that quickly. Sometimes, (and especially with blondes) it takes a much longer appointment, or several appointments to achieve the desired result.
If you have dark hair naturally, or if you have colored your hair dark and want to be light, you may be looking at several appointments to get your hair to its optimal color.
It should also be noted that blondes require regular salon appointments every 4-7 weeks to keep them looking their very best. You may not need "the works" every time, but rest assured, your blonde will need a little something to keep it fresh, on tone, vibrant, and looking healthy.
In addition to regular salon visits blonde hair needs to be cared for at home. Gentle shampoos, hydrating conditioners, and repairing masks are a good place to start. Additionally, thermal protectants, argan or bassu oil, and protein spray will go a long way in protecting the integrity of your hair between appointments. There is no shortage of products on the market that claim to protect and feed the hair. We recommend a selection of tried and true products that we carry in the salon: Olaplex, Surface, Moroccan oil, and Kevin Murphy to name a few.
When it comes to pricing color services, a consultation is necessary. Our basic color services start at $80. Dimensional techniques such as highlights and balayage increases in price according to technique and time required as well as how much product is used. At Essence, consultations are always complimentary and never obligatory. Our staff is happy to hear your vision, make recommendations, address concerns, and quote you a price based on a recommended path of action. We love what we do and look forward to making you beautiful!

In my last post I spoke about the importance of Setting the Tone after an event like Charlottesville. Pubic acts of hate can divide and distract us from our work in building coalitions across race, religion and class; from creating loving, equitable and holistic learning environments for all children. I encouraged readers to refuse to engage in hate and instead, practice Conscientious Engagement— which can look like a daily morning ritual or whole school assembly where we gather together and communicate the importance of shared responsibility and a reverence for all human life. Only through everyday practice can we renew and cement our commitment to our true purpose in education.
Since then, a catastrophic flood devastated Houston. Shortly following, Trump rescinding DACA terrorized thousands of young people across the country. Today, we watch hurricane Irma as it wreaks havoc across the Caribbean towards Florida. This week, I was in Chicago and like some rare form of schizophrenia our professional conversations were punctuated with human conversations about politics, race, class and the relentless question: What can I do? How can I make a difference that matters?
I've noticed that people who feel safe (because of race, gender, privilege, circumstances of geography) are also anxious and uneasy. This is because of association, confusion, guilt, fear and wonderings like—should I take responsibility? Some are questioning their identity, searching for the right language or a sign that ensures them that they are not failing as a human being. Others, who are feeling less fortunate are asking questions too, albeit with a different kind of urgency. Anger, pain, sleeplessness, suffering. We are not well. We are not at peace. We are not feeling safe at all, are we?
During my morning meditation today, I felt so calm and safe that I started thinking about the importance of Refuge.
Refuge means safety, protection, shelter. It can be physical safety, like providing shelter to someone who is trying to escape a heavy storm. It can mean safety from the brutality of an abusive family or a national regime. It can also mean social, emotional and spiritual safety like when we find refuge in a genuine embrace.
What does it mean to offer Refuge at a time when it's easy to feel insecure, unsafe, paralyzed or despairing? What does it mean to offer refuge in schools and learning organizations knowing that feeling safe is a basic human need?
Provide a safe, accessible space for rest and tranquility.
Ensure a person's value by standing up for their growth and well-being.
Relieve them of a burden by paying, giving away or forgiving.
Share information that will open new doors and windows.
Welcome with open arms, patiently, carefully and unconditionally.
I imagine this will be a growing list that we can all work on.

Wisconsin has a 68% chance of beating Michigan State
By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment
The team rankings predict that Wisconsin will beat Michigan State by 7.2 in the inaugural Big Ten championship game. However, we can get a more detailed look at both teams by ranking offense and defense separately. These rankings correspond to scoring offense and defense that account for strength of schedule.
Wisconsin, behind a punishing running game, has the 3rd ranked offense in the country. However, Michigan State's defense is ranked 3rd behind only Alabama and LSU. The unit rankings predict Wisconsin will score 31.5 points, almost exactly the 31 points they scored earlier this season against Michigan State. The Spartans, with the 30th ranked offense, will struggle against Wisconsin's 8th ranked defense, as the rankings predict 23.3 points. So how did Michigan State score 37 points in their previous meeting? Everyone remembers the Hail Mary pass that the Spartans completed as time expired to win that game. But Michigan State also scored a touchdown on a blocked punt, a score that can't be blamed on the Badger defense. The unit rankings predict a 8.2 margin of victory for Wisconsin, which corresponds to a 68% chance of victory. A line that favors the Badgers by 10 suggest a lean in favor of Michigan State.

Bioscience News Roundup: 01-14-07
Some interesting bits of bioscience in the news (I apologize if some of them are old, I've been cleaning out my collected links):
Science News reports on making "life from scratch", with a focus on the work at the J. Craig Venter Institute (via BoingBoing) From the article:
"We eventually want to make an organism called Mycoplasma laboratorium," Smith says. The more familiar name for this hypothetical cell is Synthia.
Glass says that the team is on the verge of making such a cell within the next few months. In the Aug. 3, 2007 Science, the researchers announced that they had transplanted the entire genome of one species of Mycoplasma into a related species. The recipient cells began using the foreign genome as if it was their own, showing that the receiving cells can "boot up" the newly inserted DNA (SN: 6/30/07, p. 403). All that remains is to finish piecing together a minimal, synthetic genome and then to insert it into a Mycoplasma bacterium by the same technique.
Beyond serving as a hobby-kit cell for unraveling basic cell biology, Synthia might serve as a platform for developing novel biotechnologies.
"Learning how to rebuild something will give us control over a cell that we don't now have," Glass says. Craig Venter, the scientist-cum-biotech tycoon who led the private effort to map the human genome and now heads the Venter Institute, has said he hopes that a minimal genome will serve as a base upon which to add custom functions, such as genes for converting feedstock into hydrogen for fuel.
They should probably read io9's post about the "Dos and Don'ts of Biology Hacking"
Wired Science also looks at microbes reengineered "to do humanity's dirty work"
University of Minnesota researchers have created a beating heart in the laboratory. You can even watch a video of the process. (via Pharyngula).
Twisted Bacteria reports on the work of Chinese scientists to improve microbial strains by giving them a ride in space.
Wired Science has a report on cool new bioscience-related technology presented at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference. Neo-Organs and anti-fat ray sound like something out of Futurama.
American Scientist has an interesting article about the possible origins of larvae that are very different from the adult forms.
Biologist Williamson has proposed that larvae are juvenile forms acquired through hybridization—the fusing of two genomes, one of which is now expressed early in an animal's life, the other late. This hypothesis, which goes against traditional thinking that branches on the evolutionary tree cannot fuse to form chimeric species, is one of several possible solutions to open questions about the evolution of larvae. Although an experiment did not yield convincing DNA evidence, the hypothesis is consistent with certain patterns seen in the distribution of genes across species. Along with other evidence of cross-species hybridization, it implies a pattern of evolution that looks more like a network than like Darwin's tree of life.
There is an interesting Ask MetaFilter discussion about whether you can use DNA analysis to determine the time of conception. I'm pretty sure I've seen that used as a plot device. On Enterprise maybe?
Ron at Beam Me Up writes about recent research on space agriculture. Does our future hold space bug entrées?
Did you know the first structure visible from space was made by wombats? Discover Magazine reviews the book Built by Animals: The Natural History of Animal Architecture, and links to images of some of the structures.
In legal news, Wired Science reports on the United Nation's report that recommends treating human clones as our equals.
Finally, in the category of "pseudoscience", The Mental Floss blog lists 5 creatures that probably don't exist, yet received government protection anyway.

Q: When will you loose play's fast recompile feature? I am new to both sbt and play! and want some advice on how to structure this project.
I want to have my models and slick related code outside of my play application.
I know play has sub-modules, but that seems to be play related modules not just a separate module for my models+slick.

*

*How can have my models + slick outside of my play project?  Should I just create a separate maven project and import the library via sbt maven local repository?

*If I do #1, will that mean if I update my models or slick code I won't be able to simply refresh the browser and get that nice fast re-compile feature?
I will need to re-use my models + slick/dao code in other projects so that I why I don't want it baked into this project.
What options do I have?

A: I think the only option you have is to use the sub-modules feature. With this you get a fast recompile cycle and get your project well structured.

A: My solution was to create a multi-sbt module application.
I know have modules for:
/services
/common
/playapp

With this layout I can make changes in any of my modules and I do get the fast compile times with sbt.  In the context of a play application, I can simply refresh my browser and my changes are reflected within 3-4 seconds.
If you want details on my project layout, see: Confused how to setup a multi project sbt project

Interview with Vanessa Izabella on Music, being a Gibson SG Gal and her Band BAST
Tara Low
It was a chance meeting at a pub in the Virginia Highlands neighborhood of Atlanta, GA. As I was sitting at the bar, I overheard a couple next to me chatting about their recording session. After hearing her talking about playing the guitar, I politely introduced myself and Guitar Girl Magazine to the girl sitting next to me.
As it turns out, Vanessa Izabella is the powerhouse female behind the Atlanta based trio BAST. With powerful vocals, superb guitar skills, and an impressive background in the music industry, Vanessa is a force to be reckoned with. As a graduate of Berklee College of Music, Vanessa was a winner in the Gibson Guitars SG Gal competition and a finalist for Beyonce's all-girl band.
BAST is currently finalizing their EP, has recently signed with a management company, and preparing for a great end to 2014 – gearing up to a fast start in 2015.
Vanessa chatted with us about her background in music, her first guitar, working with Pat Metheny, competing for the lead guitar spot with Beyonce's all-girl band, and her new music with BAST.
GGM: What was it that attracted you to the guitar and how old were you when you started playing?
VI: I was seven when I first started playing guitar, and at that age, I didn't know much about different instruments. To me, only drums and guitar existed. My mom had a friend whose daughter was taking music lessons, so one day my mom asked me and my sister if we wanted to take lessons. I said yes, and told her I wanted to play the drums, which was quickly followed by a big fat "NO!" – the noise would have driven my father nuts! So, then I asked about guitar and she signed me up for lessons. When I started playing, I started with a classical guitar and I really liked the sound of it and I could take it everywhere with me.
GGM: Do you remember your first guitar?
VI: Yes, I do! My first guitar was a classical, nylon stringed guitar. Around the age of 12 or 13, I started to get into rock and roll music, so I wanted an electric guitar. My parents were worried that an electric guitar and amp would be loud around the house, so they were reluctant. The following Christmas, my grandmother became very sentimental after a medical incident, and thought that if this was going to be her last Christmas around, she was going all out with gifts. She asked what I wanted and, of course, I said an electric guitar! When Christmas came, she had bought me a guitar and amp from Service Merchandise. It was black and had a built-in speaker on the front of the guitar that ran off a 9 volt battery. I would walk around the house and neighborhood jamming what little I knew of that thing. I was the happiest girl on Earth that Christmas!
GGM: What an exciting feeling! Do you play any other instruments?
VI: Yes, I also play trumpet and piano. I started playing trumpet in middle school when I signed up for the band. Trumpet wasn't my first choice of instrument, but it grew on me after a while and I started to like it. I dabbled with piano through my childhood (It was the instrument my sister played) but really studied it more formally in college.
GGM: Who were some of your early musical influences that created the musician you are today?
VI: When I was a kid, my father had a great love for classic rock. He would play records from Toto, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, and Genesis to name a few. I always thought that what he played sounded great. My grandmother also bought me Michael Jackson Thriller, and that album was my favorite when I was really young. As I got more into modern rock, I really liked Slash from Guns N' Roses. I liked his sound and note choice when he soloed. Later on, in High School I started listening to jazz and really got into Pat Metheny. To me, his playing seemed to spark something in me, and I could really relate to what he was playing. I think the combination of all those styles has really shaped how I play today.
GGM: Having attended Berklee College of Music, what did you major in?
VI: When I first got to Berklee, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I initially thought about Music Education because I had the idea that getting a degree in that would mean a stable job when I graduated. I tried it out and realized that classroom teaching wasn't for me. I finally settled on Music Business, and it was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. I learned so much about the ins and outs of how the industry operates. After graduation, I was able to work with Pat Metheny's management team for several years, and I got to really see how the industry operates. It was a great experience and I got to meet a lot of amazing people.
GGM: I understand you were one of the top finalists in tryouts for lead guitarist in Beyonce's band several years ago. That must have been exciting! Can you share with us that experience?
VI: I had gotten a phone call from my musician friend, Bari, and he said that Beyonce was holding open auditions nationwide for an all-female band and he thought I should try out. I went to the audition the next day, and it was mobbed with female musicians. She only had auditions in about 5 or 6 major cities, so, some people had come from a quite distance to audition. They took Polaroid photos of everyone and had each person play 60 seconds of anything we wanted while they video recorded it. They told us that those chosen would be informed by a certain date. That date came, and I didn't hear anything, so I assumed I didn't make the cut. So just after midnight, my phone rang, and it was a Beyonce representative, and he asked if I could be on a plane to NYC in the morning. I said "YES!". They had put together complete bands from each city they held auditions at, and I was the guitarist for Atlanta. We all started playing, and they started cutting people, and mixing up the lineups. Beyonce and her father were there, along with Kelly Rowland. I made it through several rounds, but didn't get the gig in the end. It was a lot of fun, and I learned so much from that experience and met a lot of talented ladies. It was great to see how things operated on that level of professionalism.
GGM: Back in 2009, you won the Gibson SG Gal competition. What was the process for the competition?
VI: Once again, I had a friend call me to let me know that Gibson was having a performance based contest in search of a woman they could call "SG Gal." I had about a day to get the video submission done before the deadline, so I quickly recorded about two minutes of freestyle improve. I uploaded my video along with hundreds of others. After the deadline, Gibson selected 10 videos that people would vote on to determine the winner. I was just happy my video made the cut, and I was thrilled to have actually won the contest. I received a Gibson SG zoot suit model. I was very grateful and was thrilled to have won.
GGM: You have a new band lineup now. Can you tell us a little about how the band was formed and what type of music you play?
VI: The new band is a rock trio called BAST (named after an Egyptian goddess). The band consists of Hugh Ellis on bass, and Tony Panzarella on drums, both of whom I have played with in other projects. We have been together since the Fall of 2013. We started this band from scratch. We got together weekly and wrote brand new material with a few songs I had some nice space to shred on. Once we had some songs, we recorded a five-song EP with producer/engineer Mike Froedge at Open Sky Studios here in Atlanta … which was a blast. The band is pretty straight forward rock, but some of our most recent material has a slightly different sound. I think our sound will evolve as we play together more, and I am very lucky to be in a band with two guys that are such awesome people, creative musicians, and great songwriters in their own right.
GGM: What is your gear set-up for performances?
VI: My current rig is a Marshall JCM 800 through and Orange 2×12. I prefer tube amps and their warm sound. I have a pedal board with various pedals that I rotate in and out, but basically, my set up is pretty simple. My main guitar is my left-handed Gibson Les Paul Traditional.
GGM: Do you have any new material or plans for any upcoming tours?
VI: We are constantly writing new material, and can not wait to record some of the music we are working on. We have some show dates coming up in the fall, but aren't planning any tour runs until the Spring of 2015.
GGM: The band recently signed with a management company which should open up some great opportunities. Where do you see yourself in five years?
VI: Yes, we are working with Dog and Pony Industries. The owner/president Gille Amaral really likes the band, and is always keeping an eye and ear out for opportunities for us. We have paired up with one of her other bands, The Missing Letters, a Minneapolis based rock band, for shows and are looking forward to touring with them in the future. In five years, I hope to continue making good music with great musicians, and I would love to get more involved with film and TV music.
GGM: Along with playing in BAST, you also teach guitar. What's the best piece of advice you could give to a beginning guitar student?
VI: The best advice I can give someone who is beginning guitar is to not give up. Guitar can be difficult in the beginning when your fingers and hands are getting used to playing on a new, weird instrument. Your finger tips may hurt, and your hands may tire easily, but as you gradually play more, you get stronger. With guitar, you really get out what you put into it. Just stick through the initial hump, and after that is when the real fun begins.

Psyop: UPS "Storm" (Final spot) from Motionographer on Vimeo.
Amazing 3D animation using cardboard as a vehicle. This is obviously far beyond my 3D skill level but the concept of everything being constructed from card is really strong and they don't deviate from it at all. Even in the tricky motion like the waves the card structure seems to work perfectly.

The new Chengo Chinese will be a massive multi-player online game, consisting of four virtual worlds: "villages", "towns", "cities" and "cosmopolitans". The four virtual worlds will progress with increasing complexity, advancing from ancient times to modern times and from countryside to cities. Those different virtual worlds represent a variety of cultures and living styles, and teach different cultural contents and language in correspondence with learners' language proficiency and cultural knowledge. Learners will start with "villages" and advance into "towns" after they grasp a certain level of Chinese language and cultural knowledge and reach a certain point.
The game will be an open platform. Players could exchange and trade their points, and could accumulate points with knowledge acquired and social services provided to others. For instance, players can gain points through helping others solve problems.
The players can choose five career paths in this game, which include: scholar, businessman, kongfu master, officer and historian or archeologist. Players encounter different experiences based on their individual career choice. Furthermore, players with different career goals co-exist in the virtual worlds and interact with each other. In addition, the game also contains many artificial intelligence 'robots" (i-bots) that can interact with the players.
The new Chengo Chinese will provide at least 1000 learning activities, each activity presenting learners with Chinese culture-, society-, geography-, and history-based learning opportunities. Each activity will take at least three hours, and thus the new Chengo Chinese will provide learners with 3000-hour Chinese language and culture learning contents.
Now I, like a few others, have adopted the approach that rather than put education in our MMOs, we should look at the learning that can be found in the ones we already have. I've also tended to think that we should spend more time studying learning cultures before jumping in too excitedly into the educational MMO space. But as Henry Jenkins reminds us, there is momentum to be found in the serious games movement, and the associated money might dry up if we don't 'get serious about serious games'.
Hey, maybe the Firefly MMO will do a collaboration with these guys so all the Brown Coats can learn Chinese for real. Now that would be really shiny.
Hey, thats super. Maybe WoW can release a 30 dollar patch to teach new languages to the Alliance players so everyone can get along and it can finally become "World of Speechcraft!"
So, what struck me as odd is that here we have a game made by, of all people, Disney. Disney has a huge repository of PC edutainment collecting dust on countless shelves. How hard would it be (relative to other options) to tap into some of that corporate knowledge and implement an 'edutainment' land or feature with games that teach alphabet, phonics, counting, spatial relationships, patterns, etc., etc., and provide an in game reward to the character (even if it had zero 'game balance effect"). All of a sudden, there would be value in maintaining your ToonTown account membership for your kid's developmental benefit. Instead, my child loads up an offline Whinnie the Pooh game to learn and practice stuff with letters, colors, matching, etc.
Seems like an ignored opportunity for an untapped market segment. ToonTown is already set up in a 'protective of youngsters' fashion. Little worry about a deviant player griefing the kiddie edutainment area.
Oh well, instead the dev's gave us mindless grinding via gardening. That'll get the subscribers in droves.
I'll pay a monthly fee to play a game that teaches me Chinese.
This sort of idea - an educational MMO that rewarded players for passing on expertise (like how to solve puzzles) was talked about at the GDC (last year? two years ago?) during the online social spaces tutorial day thing (yes, I need to play Brain Training and work on my memory). I've been looking forward to something like this, if it's done well.
Oh yes, I did forget! The Shakespeare MMO sounds fantastic, as well!
And btw, I just discovered that the latest NMC Horizon report has separate sections on the potential of virtual worlds and MMOGs for education, suggesting platform solutions like WorldForge and Multiverse will allow these options to proliferate. They cite several areas for potential educational MMO development, including the study of foreign language and culture (Shakespearean English counts here, too, right?), leadership and management skills, and 'practicing strategy and applying knowledge competitively' (i.e. how can a raid be made to resemble real life?).
Very cool about the educational MMOs.
Might want to to take a look at the Tactical Iraqi game that Dr. Lewis Johnson, USC, CARTE, developed for US soldiers in the Gulf. It runs on the Unreal Tournament engine and is very effective. Thought it might provide some context as to how Chengo Chinese might function and also indicate that the US Gov / Military will surely get into the Edu MMO space very soon.
Also, I've a sneaking suspicion that SL will catalyze quite a few highly effective Edu MMOs over the next year to 2 years. There is, after all, a lot of money to be made, and a lot of info to be disseminated.
JiK has it right, there is nothing a child can learn via a computer that can't be learned from a book, except for how to turn it on and off and how to use a keyboard and mouse.
Sure, you can buy a program that teaching junior how to count jellybeans, or you can buy a bag at the corner store and count them on the kitchen table. BONUS ROUND - with real jellybeans you get to eat them afterwards.
Why buy a flight simulator program for your 12 year old when some sticks, twine, and glue could provide a real flying machine?
Here's my thought - keep the kids off the computer until high school. Then teach them how to write code and write their own adventure.
Imho this is the tip of a large and inevitable iceberg.
While in certain respects I have sympathy for dave's point that we should "keep the kids off the computer until high school" or at the very least to ensure that they spend a whole lot of time engaged in the original virtual world (see the previous post), it simply isn't the direction that things are generally headed. After all, that would require more parents actually spending time with their kids, an activity which I understand is on the decline.
The big question I'm pondering as we approach implementation of a broader range of virtual learning environments is the question of access. If we assume for a minute that these tools will in fact be powerful learning mechanisms that can confer skills like fluency in a second language, I believe its incumbent upon us to ask who will get to use them and what benefits will that use confer?
Hence for the second time, I find myself mentioning Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age (currently in development for a mini-series on SciFi), because it raises the issue of learning technology and social stratification in a pretty profound way.
Do they have a general release date yet?
Let me take this opportunity to highlight a recent PARC forum presentation by Tina Blaine, Carnegie-Mellon University, Entertainment Technology Center, titled: Got Game? Exploring the contexts of collaborative experience, social awareness, and gameplay.
There is a trend developing among the universities, particularly with grant and seed money available, for educational projects that leverage on MMO platforms.
Zon could be first public disclosed development in the area of Chinese culture and language development, there are a few undisclosed "developments".
So in the same way there are parallel developments of a Shakespearian MMO (Ted C is leading one of them), we'll hear more and more academic research and subsequent development projects.
With ChipWits we are going to harness the fun of programming to generate content by creating a program-actors-with-simple-languages shareable sandbox. We'll make it easy for the geeky players attracted to ChipWits to extend or replace our IBOL language or any part of the system.
Both Mike Johnston and I "started" as teachers - him at the college level and me at the elementary level.
We've found (or been found by) 4 people so far who say that playing ChipWits as a kid turned them into coders (sorry!).
Even before launch old ChipWits users are already working on level editors. We are going to write an open source (of some flavor) ChipWits kernel as a community project and encourage players to port it to every platform.
We are doing this very much as a labor of love on the cheap.
Inside Beijing's global campaign to make Chinese the number one language in the world.
I am a doctoral student studying second/foreign language learning. I'm excited about the potentials of this game. I'll be doing a research study using this game, examining adult learners' experience with computer language games. If you are interested in participating, please email me at [email protected] In exchange, as a native Mandarin speaker, I'll be happy to help you learn Chinese!


text: Q: Logging Custom DataImportHandler Transformer in SOLR I have created a custom DataImportHandler transformer for use in indexing contents from both the data base and the file system into SOLR. I can kick off the data import. I can see in SOLR's log (and on the web administration console using the debug feature of the full-import call) where the transformer is called, but it's clearly not doing what I want and the import errors out. What I can't see is output from the transformer. I have tried System.out, System.err, and getting a log4j Logger expecting that SOLR's log settings will apply - they sure don't seem to and no matter what I do I see nothing in solr.log Do I need to create my own log4j 2 settings? If so, where do I put them on the classpath?


We took Ian + Jill's downtown Toronto engagement photos starting at Home of the Brave, which was actually the site of their very first date together. I think it's amazing to think of how awkward or new they would have been with each other that first time they were there, and then they went back before getting married. I am always amazed how love turns two people from strangers to the most important person in each other's lives.
After we had a drink at Home of the Brave, we wandered around Queen Street and the neighbourhood around, that is actually my favourite way to take photos, just wander around and you come across so many interesting and colourful accents along the way. These photos make me really miss summer! This winter has been a grind, and adding the fun layer of stuffing a 3 year old in and out of a snowsuit is really tiring me out. haha.
Ian + Jill's wedding was one of my favourites from last year two, they got married at the Storey's Building and it was a beautiful event and I loved their modern decor.
I have a few dates left for 2018 weddings, and I'm booking quite a few for 2019 so far. I will also be at the Wedding Co show in a few weeks at Wychwood Barns, if you are thinking of going, come by and say hi! I would love to meet you face to face and talk about your plans.

Top 10 Hemi Powered Mopars Of All Times
What Tops Your Of Favorite Hemi Powered Mopars?
By Nikola Potrebić
Hemi represents 3 generations of among the most powerful engines made over 65 years, and we've dared to the pick the 10 best Hemi powered cars and trucks.
While the concept had already existed for decades, Chrysler further developed the hemispherical cylinder head (half a sphere) as part of a new aircraft engine design for the US Army Air Corp during World World II. A prototype XIV-2220 V-16 Hemi engine was fitted to a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt which was reported to have achived 500 mph in level flight. By then, it was clear that jets were the future and the project was dropped. Luckily for enthusiasts, Chrysler saw an application for the cylinder head design in passenger car engines.
First introduced in 1951 in the Chrysler New Yorker, the first really hot Hemi was the 355 hp 354 CID version created for the 1956 Chrysler 300B – the first V8 in an American passenger car to offer one horsepower per cubic inch.
1958 Chrysler 300D
The 392 Hemi was the ultimate form of the Generation I version of the engine, and would go for several year to be the engine of choice for drag racers until the Generation II Hemi became available. In 1958 a dual four-barrel version of the 392 available in the 1957-58 Chrysler 300C & 300D cars was rated at 375 hp. An extremely rare option available on the 1958 300D was Bendix Electrojector fuel injection system, which boosted the 392 to 390 hp. Unfortunately the technology of the day wasn't up to the task and 15 of the 16 300D cars built with the Electrojector option were recalled and retrofitted with carburetors. 1958 was final year of the Generation One Hemi.
1966 Dodge Coronet/Plymouth Belvedere
Chrysler needed to install the Generation II Hemi engine, nicknamed the Elephant, into street cars to satisfy NASCAR's requirement that the motor actually be available to consumer in order to compete in stock car racing. For the 1966 model year, Chrysler developed a "street" version of the race-bred Hemi, with the internal designation of A102. It differed primarily by using a lower compression ratio (from 12.5 to 10.25:1), milder valve timing, different intake and exhaust manifolds, and cast iron heads (instead of aluminum) for reliability. The Street Hemi was ordered in 2,792 Dodge Coronets, Plymouth Belvederes, and Plymouth Satellites in 1966, and of those we selected the Belvedere two Door Sedan as it was both the lightest and the least-expensive of the group, making it an excellent choice for sanctioned and non-sanctioned drag racing.
1968 Plymouth Barracuda Super Sport
One of the rarest, and fastest, of all Hemi-powered cars is the B029 Plymouth Barracuda Super Stock built for 1968. The full race A990 version of the 426 Hemi was stuffed into the lightweight Plymouth Barracuda (along with Dodge Darts) to create unbeatable Super Stock racers. NHRA required manufacturers to build at least 50 identical cars to be eligible for Super Stock, so Chrysler created 55. The Barracuda body was stripped of seats, sound deadener and anything else extraneous, including the rear view mirrors. The doors were acid-dipped, the front fenders and hood molded in fiberglass, all windows replaced with thinner glass and the seats were swapped for the lightweight Dodge A100 van buckets mounted on special aluminum brackets. The Hemi was race-tuned with a cross-ram manifold, Hooker headers and 12.5 compression ratio. It was mated to a manually shifted 727 TorqueFlite automatic with Hurst floor shifter. The limited slip Sure-Grip differential had a 4.85 ratio. The Barracuda SS was capable of a 10 second quatrer in 1968, and with performance improvements made by owners over the years, some cars have dropped into the 8s.
1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona was created for the sole purpose of winning high-profile NASCAR races, with among other changes a 23-inch-tall wing on the rear deck, a special sheet-metal "nose cone" that replaced the front grille. It won its first race out, the inaugural Talladega 500. With a record pole speed for the race of 199 mph, Chrysler returned with Buddy Baker on a clandestine mission to break 200 mph, which they did. A closed-course record that still stands for a stock-bodied automobile. Charger Daytona wasn't as dominate as might have been expected, winning two races in 1969 and another four in 1970. The 1970-only Plymouth Superbird clone won 8 races, all of which were won by Richard Petty.
The street version came standard with Chrysler's 440 CID Magnum V8. Optional was the 426 CID Street Hemi V8 engine, which were ordered for only 70 of the 503 Daytonas manufactured.
1970-71 Dodge Challenger/'Cuda Convertibles
Among the rarest, and most valuable, of all Classic Era Muscle Cars are the 1970-1971 Dodge Challenger and Plymouth 'Cuda convertibles equipped with Hemi engines. For 1970 the pair were offered on their own platform, sharing nothing with the economy car Valiant as earlier versions had. Considered by many to be the most attractive American cars of the era – they were low and wide, with a long hood and short rear deck. Coupled with a 426 Street Hemi engine, you'd think they'd have sold by the boatload, but that wasn't the case. Plymouth sold 14 Hemi convertibles in '70 and '71 combined while Dodge sold only 4 in '70, dropping the option in '71. Despite some of the greatest marketing of Muscle Cars ever (colors like Sub Lime, Top Banana, and everyone's favorite: Plum Crazy), a variety of decal packages, and the option of a Shaker hood, Chrysler was just a little too late to the market, but left behind some of the most amazing cars of the era.
2003 Dodge Ram Pickups
As it had in the late 1950s, the Hemi engine disappeared in 1971, the concept not to be resurrected until 2003 for the Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickup trucks. Despite the fact that nearly forty years had passed since the 426 Elephant motor was designed, engineers took the advice from Tom Hoover, one of the 426's designers. Three of his major suggestions — raising the camshaft (to shorten the pushrods, reducing valve-train inertia and simplifying the rocker arms), using twin spark plugs, and adding squish area (to make light load/low speed efficiency better and reduce emissions) were adopted for the new design, thus creating a substantive link between the Generation II and Generation III engines. And like its Generation I predecessor, it produced one horsepower per cubic inch, but while meeting emissions and fuel economy standards. Though the 5.7 L started as a light truck engine, it opened the door all subsequent Generation III motors .
2015 6.2 Hellcat
Chrysler reached back to some old Classic Era Muscle Cars tricks while adding plenty of new technology to create the 6.2 L Hellcat motor, the most powerful Hemi ever offered to the public in a new Dodge. Based on the rugged 6.4 L block, with deep skirts and cross-bolted main bearing caps, engineers installed a forged 5.7 L crankshaft to shorten the stroke – a shorter stroke provides close to the ideal rod to stroke ratio and provides the 6.2 to operate efficiently at high rpms. But the magic's not just inside the engine. An integrated supercharger system from the Japanese IHI company (that also supplies AMG) combined with a fuel injection system with such a high flow rate that it could empty the fuel tank in just 13 minutes of wide open throttle. Apparently the 707 hp Chrysler rates the engine is below its ultimate capabilities.
2016 6.4 L – 392 ScatPack Shaker
With the Hellcat's 707 hp comes through the magic of supercharging, the 6.4 Hemi creates it's power the old-fashioned way – through cubic inches. And what more fitting displacement (except the Elephant 426) than the largest Generation I Hemi, the engine that launched the Hemi into legendary status by powering Top Fuel racers through the mid-60s – the 392. The Generation III 392 far outpowers its predecessor, producing 485 hp. And to top it off (literally) is the return of the Shaker hood, which not only assure a flow of fresh air into the engine, but but twists with every application of the throttle.
2016 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak
Like the 1968 Barracuda Super Sport we looked at earlier, the Dodge Challenger Drag Pak is a factory-prepped package car specifically geared for NHRA Sportsmen drag racing, with the option of either the supercharged 354 CID Generation III Hemi engine or a newly developed version of the naturally aspirated 426 CID Gen III Hemi engine, which produces 540 hp in crate motor trim, likely producing closer to 600 hp in full-race trim.

Despite driving a piece of junk, Nikola still manages to survive the harrowing experience called "A road trip in a Yugo," day in, day out. On the other hand, precious few things move him as muscle cars do. Especially those from the bygone golden era, which makes him wonder why wasn't he born a few decades earlier? Well, at least he's been given the opportunity to enjoy the likes of the Pontiak Aztek, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Fiat Multipla, and other lovely millennials, right? Come to think of it, I'll stick with my Yugo. Thank you very much!

Marquette students take trip to Israel
Margaret Cahill, News Reporter|January 22, 2019
The Lutheran Campus Ministry and Cru, the Christian group at Marquette, arranged a trip to Israel over winter break.
When Ryan Ristow, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, told his parents he wanted to go to Israel over winter break, they told him it was a bad idea.
But after attending the informational meeting for the Dec. 30-Jan. 9 Campus Ministry trip and finding out how cheap the trip was, he knew he had to go—even if he had to pay out of pocket.
"I think it was probably the best money I ever spent," Ristow said. "I think you learn a lot about cultures, you got closer to your religion if you wanted to and even if you aren't religious, you can see and experience why people think the way you do."
The trip was presented by Lutheran Campus Ministry and Cru, a Christian group at Marquette. During the trip, students toured historical and biblical sites such as the Western Wall and the Sea of Galilee.
Rev. Jessica Short, a Lutheran pastor and faculty adviser on the trip, said she believed the experience was valuable for students.
"The purpose of the trip was for Christian students to experience Israel and to visit the holy sites that (are) sacred places for Christians and Jews," Short said. "There was also an element of learning about geopolitical issues, but this element was through the lens of Israel and specifically the Jewish state of Israel.
Short said another reason for the trip was to build a relationship with the Jewish Student Union and understand the complex political and religious issues currently in Israel.
The students had the opportunity to travel to sites where events described in the Bible took place.
"It made the Bible feel more real, which really strengthened my faith and changed the way I read the Bible," Madeline Arzbecker, a junior in the College of Health Sciences who went on the trip, said.
The students had tour guides who told them the details and significance of each place they visited and allowed them time to reflect on their faith.
"Overall, I think it's important to take time to reflect on your everyday life and appreciate the freedom and opportunities that we have," Bri Cross, a senior in the College of Education who went on the trip, said. "Every so often, everything is so quick so we don't have time to step back and, if you're a spiritual person, thank God and Jesus for everything you have. Or if you're a non-spiritual person, just think about all the things you have in life."
Marquette students also learned about the conflicts occurring in this part of the world such as the tension between Israel and Palestine.
"I think it's important to be aware of different conflicts in the world because a lot of politics are similar if you kind of break them down," Jessica Diebold, a freshman in the College of Communication who went on the trip, said. "So issues in other parts of the world can be translated similarly to issues that we have in the United States. So having an education about those is really important to be able to kind of break down the things that we're having issues with."
Diebold said she never felt unsafe during the trip, despite the fact many of her friends thought it may be dangerous.
"I think people assume that anything Middle East is super dangerous, and you shouldn't go there whatsoever," Ristow said. "But I think any country you go to is going to have dangerous places, so I thought it was a good thing to experience their perspective there of the conflict and how the media portrays it."
Short said that while people hear a lot about the violence in the Middle East, it is important to see the situation firsthand before passing judgement.
"It's all too easy to make assumptions about people you have never met or places you have never traveled," Short said. "To see it in the flesh and have a conversation helps you to see that we are so much more alike than we are different."
Arzbecker said the students gained an appreciation not only for their own faiths, but for other faiths as well. Short said learning about others in this way was one of the most important parts of the trip.
Short said that students only paid $600 for the trip, and the rest was subsidized by the Christian education organization Passages and the Museum of the Bible.
"As an (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) pastor, I do not share the same views as either organization," Short said. "However, Passages was hospitable to me and gracious to my leadership style. Participating in a program that is completely outside my comfort zone helped me to understand the Bible and political issues through a different lens."
Chloe David, a junior in the College of Engineering, said the trip was similar to a Jewish birthright trip.
A birthright trip is a 10 day trip to Israel for Jewish young adults to learn more about their faith and is sponsored by the nonprofit Taglit-Birthright Israel organization, according to Birthright Israel.
"This trip was so important for understanding where your faith comes from," David said. "And it was important if you had any sort of faith."

Anthony Mark Johnson (born October 2, 1974) is an American former professional basketball player who last played with the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA). At , he played the point guard position. He found success in pro basketball, becoming the first NBA D-League player to participate in an NBA Finals. A native of Charleston, South Carolina, Johnson played college basketball at the College of Charleston and was drafted in the NBA in 1997.

Early life
After leading R.B. Stall High School to the South Carolina AAA football championship, Johnson received a basketball scholarship at the College of Charleston, where his older brother Steven was a standout years earlier. By his senior year, he developed into one of the top players in the Trans America Athletic Conference, named conference player of the year in 1997, while leading the College of Charleston to an NCAA basketball tournament first round victory over the University of Maryland at the Memphis regional.

NBA career
He was the first player in College of Charleston history selected in the NBA Draft, picked by the Sacramento Kings in the late second round. In the 1997-98 season, he started 62 games, averaging 7.5 points per game. Over the next several seasons, he played with the Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New Jersey Nets. On December 7, 2001, Johnson signed with the NBDL team Mobile Revelers and played there for 15 games, averaging 11.9 points per game.

In the 2003-2004 season, he was signed by the Indiana Pacers, where he had a career resurgence, averaging nearly 22 minutes per game and scoring 6.5 points per game. Prior to the 2004-2005 season, the longtime NBA journeyman earned his first long term contract, a four-year deal with the Indiana Pacers.

He drew a five-game suspension from the NBA as a result of his actions in the Pacers–Pistons brawl which broke out at The Palace of Auburn Hills near the end of a November 19, 2004 game between the two teams.

During the 2004-2005 season, Pacers' starting point guard, Jamaal Tinsley, missed extended periods of time due to injury, which led to a starting role for Anthony Johnson during much to the latter half of that season.

In the 2006 NBA Playoffs, Johnson scored a career-high 40 points against the New Jersey Nets in Game 6 of the series. Despite his heroics, the Pacers lost 96-90, and the series 4-2 to the Nets.

In the 2006 off-season, Johnson was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for guard Darrell Armstrong, and forwards Josh Powell and Rawle Marshall.

On February 22, 2007, Johnson was traded back to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for a second round draft choice. It was Johnson's third stint with the team.

On February 16, 2008 the Sacramento Kings acquired Johnson along with Shelden Williams, Tyronn Lue, and Lorenzen Wright in exchange for Mike Bibby.

On July 15, 2008, Johnson signed a two-year contract worth $3.8 million with the Orlando Magic. It was his second stint in Orlando.  In two seasons with the Magic, he played in 111 games, starting 12, and participated in the 2009 NBA Finals. His contract expired at the conclusion of the 2009-10 NBA season, making him a free agent.

The aim of this study was to identify the different school refusal behavior profiles and to determine whether these profiles differ from one another based on four situational factors, three response systems and the total score on school anxiety. 1113 Spanish students (52.29% boys) aged 8–12 years (M = 9.53; SD = 1.10) were recruited. The School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised and the School Anxiety Inventory for Children were administered. Non-School Refusers, School Refusers by Positive Reinforcement, School Refusers by Negative Reinforcement and School Refusers by Mixed Reinforcement were identified. The Mixed Reinforcement group was the most maladaptive profile in terms of school anxiety as compared to the non-school refusers and positive reinforcement groups. Practical implications of the research are discussed.
This work was supported by the Vice-rectorate for Research and Knowledge Transfer of the University of Alicante under Grant GRE16-07; Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under Grant EDU2012-35124; and an aid to contract a training doctor under Grant UA FPU, 2015-5995.

Q: Easiest way to integrate J2SE app with a Web app I have a really simple J2SE app that consists of a couple of classes. I plan to make it available to my co-workers, and I've been thinking the easiest way would be for them to access it from a browser, instead of distributing the executable on each machine.
What's the easiest method/framework that would allow me to do this? This app is pretty targeted-- it will just perform the same isolated operation, and will have some activity against the DB --but the logic is already implemented on the app. The interface would only require some input from users (login,password,ip,etc), an action component to trigger the process and nothing else.
I've been thinking of a simple JSP/Servlet app for it, but wanted to see what's available now.  If any how-to link is available, would be great.

A: If the application is simple, then use simple JSP/Servlet, otherwise MVC framework(Struts...) could be used here. But using MVC framework leads learning curve.
It's kind of trade-off: you could decide the learning curve is worthy or not in your application.

A: Axis allows you to to create web services from existing java classes. But this may require writing a desktop client.
Grails framework can use existing java classes and is easy to use. It follows MVC pattern similar to Ruby on Rails.
If you don't need anything complex, and you're ready to to write html with System.out.println() thenjust write a simple servlet. There are many guides online, it's very straightforward.

The crossed ladders problem is a puzzle of unknown origin that has appeared in various publications and regularly reappears in Web pages and Usenet discussions.

The problem

Two ladders of lengths a and b lie oppositely across an alley, as shown in the figure. The ladders cross at a height of h above the alley floor. What is the width of the alley?

Martin Gardner presents and discusses the problem in his book of mathematical puzzles published in 1979 and cites references to it as early as 1895. The crossed ladders problem may appear in various forms, with variations in name, using various lengths and heights, or requesting unusual solutions such as cases where all values are integers. Its charm has been attributed to a seeming simplicity which can quickly devolve into an "algebraic mess" (characterization attributed by Gardner to D. F. Church).

Solution

The problem description implies that  that  and , that  and that   where A and B are the heights of the walls where sides of lengths b and a respectively lean (as in the above graph).

Both solution methods below rely on the property that  which can be seen as follows:

Divide the baseline into two parts at the point where it meets , and call the left and right parts  and , respectively. The angle where  meets  is common to two similar triangles with bases  and  respectively.  The angle where  meets  is common to two similar triangles with bases  and  respectively.  This tells us that

 which we can then re-arrange (using ) to get

First method

Two statements of the Pythagorean theorem (see figure above)

and

can be subtracted one from the other to eliminate w, and the result can be combined with  with alternately A or B solved out to  yield the quartic equations

These can be solved algebraically or numerically for the wall heights A and B, and the Pythagorean theorem on one of the triangles can be used to solve for the width w.

Second method

The problem may be reduced to the quartic equation x 3(x − c) − 1 = 0, which can be solved by approximation methods, as suggested by Gardner, or the quartic may be solved in closed form by Ferrari's method. Once x is obtained, the width of the alley is readily calculated. A derivation of the quartic is given below, along with the desired width in terms of the quartic solution. Note that the requested unknown, w, does not appear directly in most of the derivation.

 From  we get

.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can see that
 and .
 By isolating w² on both equations, we see that

 which can be rearranged and factored into
 .

Square (Eq 2) and combine with (Eq 1)

 Rearrange to get

 Then

 Now, combine with (Eq 1)

 Finally

Let

Then

  (same as Eq 3 with the sides reversed)

The above fourth power equation can be solved for x using any available method. The width of the alley is then found by using the value found for x: The identity

can be used to find A, and w can finally be found by

A quartic equation has four solutions, and only one solution for this equation matches the problem as presented. Another solution is for a case where one ladder (and wall) is below ground level and the other above ground level. In this case the ladders do not actually cross, but their extensions do so at the specified height. The other two solutions are a pair of conjugate complex numbers. The equation does not have the ladder lengths explicitly defined, only the difference of their squares, so one could take the length as any value that makes them cross, and the wall spacing would be defined as between where the ladders intersect the walls.

As the wall separation approaches zero, the height of the crossing approaches  This is because  (proven at the start) implies  and as w goes to zero b goes to A and a goes to B according to the top diagram.

As the solutions to the equation involve square roots, negative roots are equally valid. They can be interpreted as both ladders and walls being below ground level and with them in opposing sense, they can be interchanged.

The complex solutions can be interpreted as wall A leaning to the left or right and wall B below ground, so the intersection is between extensions to the ladders as shown for the case  The ladders a and b and  are not as specified. The base w is a function of A, B, and h and the complex values of A and B can be found from the alternative quartic

with D being  for one wall and  for the other (±5 in the example). Note that the imaginary solutions are horizontal and the real ones are vertical. The value D is found in the solution as the real part of the difference in the squares of the complex coordinates of the two walls. The imaginary part = 2XaYa = 2XbYb (walls a and b). The short ladder in the complex solution in the 3,2,1 case appears to be tilted at 45 degrees, but actually slightly less with a tangent of 0.993. Other combinations of ladder lengths and crossover height have comparable complex solutions. With combination 105,87,35 the short ladder tangent is approximately 0.75.

Integer solutions

There are solutions in which all parameters are integers. For example, (a, b, A, B, w1, w2, w, h) = (119, 70, 42, 105, 16, 40, 56, 30). Such solutions involve Pythagorean triples for the two right triangles with sides (A, w, b) and (B, w, a) and integer solutions of the optic equation

Application to paper folding

The optic equation of the crossed ladders problem can be applied to folding rectangular paper into three equal parts:
 +  =    ∴   2 + 1 =    ∴   h =  =
One side (left in the illustration) is partially folded in half and pinched to leave a mark. The intersection of a line from this mark to an opposite corner (red) with a diagonal (blue) is exactly one third from the bottom edge. The top edge can then be folded down to meet the intersection.

It is also exactly one third horizontally from the left edge; folding the right edge to meet the intersection lets the paper be folded into thirds lengthwise.

Similarly, folding the left side twice to get quarters lets one fold the sheet into five equal parts:
 +  =    ∴   4 + 1 =    ∴   h′ =  =
and folding it thrice to get eights lets one fold the sheet into nine equal parts, etc.:
 +  =    ∴   8 + 1 =    ∴   h″ =  =

Extended crossed ladders theorem

The crossed ladders theorem was extended to crossed ladders within a triangle. In 2002, Harold Joseph Stengel (1947–2007), an American secondary school teacher of mathematics, proved the extended theorem.

Let AC be the base of a triangle ABC.  Let ladder (line) AD have its foot at A and intersect BC at D; likewise, let ladder CE have its foot at C and intersect AB at E.  Let AD intersect CE at F.  Extend parallel lines from the points E, B, F, and D, intersecting AC at the points I, G, J, and H, respectively. Then

 +  =  +

whence it follows that

 +  =  + .

ICANN73 - ICANN Reviews and Implementation Status Update (24 February 2022)
The Security, Stability, & Resiliency Review is one of the four Specific Reviews. Under Section 4.6(c) of the ICANN Bylaws, ICANN is obligated to conduct a periodic review of ICANN's execution of its commitment to enhance the operational stability, reliability, resiliency, security, and global interoperability of the systems and processes, both internal and external, that directly affect and/or are affected by the Internet's system of unique identifiers that ICANN coordinates ("SSR Review").'
The SSR2 Review Team produced 63 final recommendations for Board consideration and released its Final Report on 25 January 2021.
On 22 July 2021, the Board took action on each of the 63 recommendations contained in the SSR2 Final Report, as specified within the scorecard titled "Scorecard: Final SSR2 Review Team Recommendations - Board Action 22 July 2021":
13 Recommendations were accepted by the Board, subject to prioritization, risk assessment and mitigation, costing, and implementation considerations; with the understanding that two recommendations are already fully implemented
6 Recommendations were rejected by the Board, because the recommendation cannot be approved in full. The Board notes that part of the community intent in incorporating Specific Reviews into the ICANN Bylaws in 2016 was to require the Board to act on recommendations as written, not as interpreted by ICANN org or Board.
10 Recommendations were rejected by the Board. The detailed rationale for each recommendation sets out the specific reasons for the Board's decision.
34 Recommendations were placed in pending status. The ICANN Board committed to take further action on these recommendations subsequent to the completion of intermediate steps as identified in the Scorecard: Final SSR2 Review Team Recommendations - Board Action 22 July 2021
4 Recommendations the Board determined to be pending, likely to be approved once further information is gathered to enable approval.
6 Recommendations the Board determined to be pending, likely to be rejected unless additional information shows implementation is feasible. Based on the information available to date, the Board anticipates that each of these recommendations will be rejected.
24 Recommendations the Board determined to be pending, holding to seek clarity or further information. The Board is unable to signal at this time whether it is likely to accept or reject these recommendations pending additional information.
On 01 May 2022, the Board took action on 3 pending recommendations. The Board approved Recommendation 5.4, and rejected Recommendations 19.1 and 19.2 issued within the SSR2 Review Team Final Report, as specified within the "Scorecard: SSR2 Pending Recommendations-Board Action 1 May 2022".
On 16 November 2022, the Board took action on 21 pending recommendations. The Board approved nine recommendations, as specified within the 16 November 2022 Scorecard.
