Fabuła
Kenai i Koda obudzili się właśnie ze snu zimowego. Kenaia dręczą wspomnienia z czasów, gdy był człowiekiem. Zaprzyjaźnił się wówczas z Nitą, dziewczyną z innego plemienia. Gdy chce ona wyjść za mąż, okazuje się, że nie może, ponieważ w dzieciństwie otrzymała od Kenaia amulet, który połączył ich na zawsze. Jedynym rozwiązaniem jest spalenie amuletu razem z Kenaiem przy wodospadzie, gdzie go otrzymała. Nita otrzymuje dar, dzięki któremu będzie mogła porozumieć się z Kenaiem. Odnajduje go w lesie, jednak Kenai nie ma ochoty jej pomóc, ale zmienia zdanie, gdy Nita mówi mu, że duchy mogą zmienić go z powrotem w człowieka. Kenai zgadza się pójść z nią do wodospadu. Podczas wyprawy szop Bering kradnie amulet, lecz Nita, Kenai i Koda go odzyskują. W trakcie podróży Koda zauważa, że Nita i Kenai zakochują się w sobie i przestają go zauważać (wcześniej bardzo polubił Nitę). Słyszy ich rozmowę, w której Kenai mówi, że czasami chciałby być znowu człowiekiem. Koda ucieka na lodowiec, gdzie znajduje go Nita i prawie giną, ale na szczęście ratuje ich Kenai. Nita spala amulet i traci swój dar. Więc nie może już rozmawiać z Kenaiem i Kodą. Nita wraca do swojego plemienia, gdzie czuje, że kocha Kenaia, a Kenai czuje to samo. Koda prosi w nocy duchy, żeby zmieniły Kenaia z powrotem w człowieka, następnie idzie po Nitę. Gdy Kenai się budzi, Rutt i Tuke mówią mu, że Koda poszedł do Nity. Kenai idzie tam, bojąc się, że ludzie zabiją Kodę. W wiosce Nity zostaje zaatakowany przez mieszkańców i ledwo uchodzi z życiem. Nita wyznaje mu, że go kocha i zmienia się w niedźwiedzia. Następnego dnia biorą ślub.

Brooklyn's Adult Coloring Book Club is Putting the 'Cray' in Crayola
August 10, 2016 By Cassidy Dawn Graves
(via Curious Custom)
Adult coloring books have shot up in popularity lately– CNN's gotten wind of it, the books were topping out Amazon's bestsellers list earlier this year, and the high sales numbers actually made it seem like print was experiencing a resurgence (yeah, right). Things were so cray that neuroscientists, "behavioral economists," and good old-fashioned therapists were asked to weigh in on this completely WTF trend.
Thankfully, Amazon's bestseller list indicates that things are back to somewhat normal (i.e. adults are reading young adult novels again), as the craze seems to have subsided somewhat.
Park Slope-based actor and comedian Monica Hammond was smart enough to hop on the trend while the boat's still afloat. This being Brooklyn, she gave the genre (if you can call it that) a DIY twist of her own. Hammond used her design and illustration skills to create her own coloring books under the name Curious Custom, and hosts her very own Coloring Club. Participants gather at a bar on a slower night, color, and drink together once a month (there have been three meet-ups so far).
The term "adult coloring book" is a bit confusing—and surely to some, disappointing and misleading—as the average adult coloring book is stuffed with squeaky clean images of flowers, mandalas, and other basic designs (sorry– what I meant was "stress relieving patterns"). There's rarely anything truly befitting of the kind of "adult" label you might find at your local video store (RIP). While some people might be satisfied with these rather wholesome tropes, others may be wanting something more colorful to push their crayon into.
This partially explains why Hammond felt the impulse to create her own coloring pages. While she's not up to anything salacious per se, her coloring books for "serious adults" certainly depict a more interesting spread, with selections like drag queens, "dog selfies," and presidential candidates. "I have a background in theatre and comedy," Hammond told us. "I try to find sort of bizarre, funny, interesting people, characters, and ideas to put in them."
(via Curious Custom / Etsy)
Hammond wasn't exactly clued in to the coloring book trend when she began Curious Custom. But after she went out and got herself a digital stylus and tablet as an "impulse buy," she realized that her drawings looked a lot like images that could be found in a coloring book. So she jumped right in, did some research, and realized she could be onto something here.
Since starting her venture, Hammond's been asked to create custom coloring books for everything from weddings to hotels. She recently published her first coloring book called Love is Love: A Proud Coloring Book which features images from the NYC Pride Parade that she hand-drew from photographs that she snapped while attending the parade. That means that her images were drawn from actual, local queer people (and yeah, maybe the occasional enthusiastic straight teen girls from Long Island who, like, totally think that "Love Wins"), which in our humble opinion is a much cooler way to depict Pride than most others we've seen.

For those of you who gotta have a drink with your crayons (we feel you), Hammond has arranged for drink specials at her Coloring Club. And they don't mess around– when I happened upon her event at the Bierhalle recently, they were doing a buy-one-get-one special, but with huge steins of beer you practically had to carry with two hands. So you know it's real.
Tonight, Hammond's Coloring Club meets in Williamsburg for the first time, which might very well be a perfect location considering that the neighborhood seems to be crawling with people who'd prefer to ignore their problems and do something fun. (Well, maybe that's everywhere else too.) New York Distilling Company will play host as a zone that's no stranger to interesting events: last year, they hosted an immersive production of Macbeth inside the distillery, complete with cocktails a-plenty. Trust that these drinks will be similarly generous: it's said the distillery's adjoining bar The Shanty is home to one of the city's strongest cocktails.
Hammond's looking to expand her Coloring Club across several bars throughout Brooklyn with meet-ups happening three to four times a month. She also has some new book ideas brewing– one, potentially called "Broadway Babes" is informed by Hammond's parallel career working for a Broadway producer. You needn't sharpen your dance skills for that, but be sure to hone those crayons.
Coloring Club is happening tonight, Wednesday August 10, 7:30 pm at New York Distilling Company, 79 Richardson Street, Williamsburg: $5. Also Sunday September 7, 7:30 pm at Berg'n in Crown Heights.

If you need both comforts without leaving the spring mattress industry, rubber mattresses may be a good option. Because the rubber material can provide the same comfort as a Memory Foam and good weight as a spring mattress the rubber mattress is very solid. So if you like a soft mattress, you may not like the feel of this mattress.
This includes the price of a mattress as well. You may think that the mattress itself will invest a lot. But think about the cheap mattresses that make a healthy spine healthy. Is it worth the money to see a doctor in the future? A good way to consider buying a good life expectancy to be worth the money paid. It is a long-term investment for health, sleep, and body. The mattress will be with us for about 8-10 years.
3)What are our sleeping habits?
Each one has its own favorite, not the same. Choose a mattress that is made to fit our routine. For example, if you are lying on your back, a Memory Foam mattress may be the best option. This type of mattress reduces the pressure on the bones. If you are the one who is supposed to sleep on a large part, the mattress must support the spine, but it must not be too hard. The information at Http://www.memoryfoammattress-guide.org/labor-day-sales-memory-foam-mattresses/ happens to be the best available.
Many possibilities are available to you in terms of dimensions, and it is up to you to know what will best suit you! However, be careful: measure your sleeping room before choosing a King Size ... It would be a shame to have to change rooms or do work just for a mattress!
Why buy your mattress online?
-Aside from not being able to test the mattress and board it immediately, buying a mattress online has many benefits.
If you have trouble choosing between the different types of mattress: foam, latex or springs, you can make the first identification in store. Take the time to ask yourself the right questions and try out all the types of mattresses that are on offer, stretch out and position yourself as if you were going to sleep to test what suits you best. You will see at first sight what suits you best in terms of comfort, and you will be able to proceed by elimination. It's your comfort that matters!
Once the choice of the type of mattress has been made, you are free to buy it in the shop or on the internet.
You have gone over and buy your new friend at night.
There stays the change of your sheets once a week and the daily ventilation of your bedroom is first and foremost the first two aspects of the proper maintenance of your bedding on a daily basis.
Although it may seem like common sense, it is important to remember that the proliferation of mites is fast and that without aeration of your bedding, these little animals will continue to keep you company during the night! So think about it by regularly vacuuming.
Flip your mattress! If you have opted for a mattress that does not have a winter or summer face, it is essential to return it every season to allow it to aerate properly and resume an ideal form.
Note that some models on sale today no longer need to be returned: indeed, they have aeration cells located around the mattress, which allow the air not to be trapped and to move freely through the fabric.

Secretary-General of EDU pays personal homage to UNHCR heroes
The Secretary-General of the Intergovernmental Organization EDU, His Excellency Irving Le-Vance, recently paid a courtesy visit to the Headquarters of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, also known as the United Nations Refugee Agency, in Geneva.
Drawing on his own memories of the trauma of himself being a refugee as a result of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, the Secretary-General paid tribute to the essential work carried out by UNHCR staff, which number over 7000 people in 125 countries, and who assist close to 33 million refugees and displaced persons worldwide.
The UNHCR is mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees.
It strives to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country. It also has a mandate to help stateless people.
Current world events mean that the UNHCR has rarely been called upon more than it is at the moment.
Such work is not without its risks.
His Excellency was honoured to be allowed to pay his personal respects, at the UNHCR Memorial to those humanitarian workers that have been killed or injured in the line of duty, with the lighting of a candle.
The Memorial was actually closed to visits at that time and the Secretary-General was thankful for the kind intervention of the professional and courteous members of the United Nations Security and Safety Service who arranged for the facility to be opened especially for his visit.

W.D. Wright Obituary
W D Wright
The name of W. David Wright is famous the world over in the field of colorimetry. In the late nineteen-twenties he measured, for ten observers, the way in which the colours of the spectrum are matched by beams of red, green, and blue light added together. This work, together with a similar study carried out by John Guild at the National Physical Laboratory, with seven additional observers, forms the basis of the international standard for measuring colour. It is a great tribute to the quality of this experimental work that the standard, although now more than sixty years old, is still in universal use.
David Wright carried out his work in the Physics department of Imperial College, and, except for a short interlude from 1929 to 1930, the whole of his career was at Imperial. The interlude was spent as a research engineer at Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, in Pittsburg, where he worked on colour television; this was long before even black-and-white television was a practicality, but the colour television systems in use today use Wright's work as the basis of their reproduction of colour by the addition of areas of red, green, and blue light.
Wright's researches at Imperial College covered many aspects of colour vision, and were summarized in his book Researches on Normal and Defective Colour Vision published in 1946, one of five books which he wrote. The same meticulous care in his experimental work that had characterized his original colour matching experiments, was evident throughout all his investigations, and led, for the first time, to definitive descriptions of the main types of colour blindness. The publication in the magazine Picture, Post of a test for a very rare type of colour deficiency, in which bluish and yellowish colours are confused, led to the discovery of about a score of people with this defect, and the characteristics of their vision were documented accurately for the first time.
As a professor at Imperial College, he was both a fine lecturer and an outstanding supervisor of post-graduate students. There issued from the college during his tenure, a continuous stream of students who were thoroughly grounded in visual science and sound experimental procedures; today, at any conference on colour science, many of his past students are to be found presenting work which owes its inspiration to his influence.
His work outside academia was broad and notable. Seeing the need for workers in colour science to have a forum for regular meetings, he was largely instrumental in the formation in 1940 of a Colour Group in the Physical Society, and this Group still flourishes although now as an independent entity. Following the example of the British Colour Group, similar groups have since sprung up in many other countries, and together form the International Colour Association.
He was Chairman of the Colour Group from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1973 to 1975, he was Vice-President of the Physical Society from 1948 to 1950, Secretary of the International Commission for Optics from 1953 to 1966, Chairman of the Physical Society Optical Group from 1956 to 1959, and President of the International Colour Association from 1967 to 1969.
He received honorary Doctorates of Science from City University in 1971 and from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 1991. He gave the Physical Society Thomas Young Oration in 1951. He received the Newton Medal from the Colour Group in 1963, the AIC Judd gold medal from the International Colour Association in 1977, and recently the Godlove award from the Inter-Society Color Council of the U.S.A.
A keen admirer of paintings, he combined this interest with his colour science to conduct a series of measurements on paintings at the National Gallery to provide data on the permanence of some of its treasures.
He was a passionate follower of cricket and thoroughly enjoyed a day out at Lord's.
In 1932 he married Dorothy Hudson, who died in 1990; they had two sons, one of whom predeceased him.
David sowed the seed of interest for so many of us in colour science today. He was warm hearted and of a kindly disposition. He will be sadly missed by us all. We will honour his memory, remembering his great contributions to colour science and the friendliness and warmth of his character.

* Continuous shooting speed may vary depending on the shutter speed, the aperture, the lens being used, the battery charge and various camera settings.
DIGIC 6+ Image Processor
The powerful DIGIC 6+ Image Processor increases the EOS 5D Mark IV camera's in-camera capabilities, enabling fast operation across the board and helping to ensure that high-quality still image and 4K video recording is achieved no matter the shooting environment. It has a noise-processing algorithm that helps reduce noise at high ISO settings, and features a Digital Lens Optimizer that can automatically apply a variety of aberration and diffraction corrections as well as other corrective measures specific to the lens in use. The EOS 5D Mark IV's power to perform numerous operations with ease is made possible in large part thanks to the amazing DIGIC 6+ Image Processor.
61 AF points with expanded vertical coverage with 41 cross-points, and AF possible at all 61 AF points with many lens + extender combinations effective at f/8
To complement its stellar CMOS sensor and powerful processing abilities, the EOS 5D Mark IV camera incorporates a 61-point High Density Reticular AF II system.

It also has a wide subject tracking area that enhances the AF system with consistent focus tracking to capture the action at hand and includes Canon's AI Servo AF III, which remembers the AF path and helps refine precision shot-to-shot. Low-light performance is phenomenal – the AF system's low-intensity limit is EV -3 at the center AF point and all 61 AF points are compatible down to f/8 for excellent low-light performance, even with lens extenders attached. To help ensure that AF points and other shooting information are visible at a glance, the EOS 5D Mark IV also features Canon's Intelligent Viewfinder II for a bright, customizable view. Whether choosing individual AF points manually or using one of the camera's automatic AF selection modes, the EOS 5D Mark IV's AF system is a significant part of its overall excellence.
150,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor helps provide precise exposure metering, helps detect flickering lights and allows for enhanced scene recognition and face detection capabilities
To help deliver nearly fool-proof performance, the EOS 5D Mark IV camera employs a powerful and instant subject and light analysis system. The iSA Intelligent Scene Analysis system uses its own RGB+IR light sensor with an approximately 150,000-pixel resolution to provide the camera with immense image analysis in an instant, making necessary corrections along the way. The sensor enables Canon's anti-flicker function, which detects the frequency and phase of a light source's flicker (such as a fluorescent light) and captures images near the point of peak brightness when the subject is most likely to be well-illuminated. The EOS 5D Mark IV also incorporates Canon's Intelligent Tracking and Recognition system (iTR AF) that detects and tracks subjects, automatically switching the AF point to optimize tracking. Using tracking algorithms tailored to recognize faces and colors, this system not only helps to quickly and automatically select the ideal capture settings, but also serves as a brilliant foundation to the EOS 5D Mark IV's AF system.
Dual Pixel RAW, in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer during JPEG shooting and Diffraction Correction technologies
The EOS 5D Mark IV camera is equipped with a number of advanced features designed to combat image degradation from lens aberration, focus and other characteristics that can adversely affect the quality of the final image. The EOS 5D Mark IV's Dual Pixel CMOS AF system enables capture of Dual Pixel Raw (DPRAW) files. Images shot as DPRAWs have additional adjustment possibilities when processed with Canon's Digital Photo Professional image processing software, which enables pixel-level adjustment and refinement for still photographs and includes Image Micro-adjustment to help maximize sharpness in detail areas, Bokeh Shift for more pleasing soft focus areas and Ghosting Reduction to help reduce aberrations and flare. The EOS 5D Mark IVcamera is also equipped with a number of in-camera optical correction functions previously available only using Digital Photo Professional. It comes preloaded with aberration data particular to specific lenses, helping to eliminate the need to register lens data on previously released lenses and correcting images with virtually no delay in-camera. The EOS 5D Mark IV not only fixes peripheral brightness and chromatic aberration, but also features distortion correction and diffraction correction. Distortion correction helps resolve barrel and pincushion distortions, while diffraction correction helps to eliminate the blurring effects from diffraction that can be created when capturing an image at a small aperture. The EOS 5D Mark IV's in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer works with the camera's DIGIC 6+ Image Processor to help ensure these corrections can be made with virtually no effect on operational speed, even when shooting numerous successions of JPEG images, speeding up the photographer's workflow and delivering gorgeous images right from the camera.

Sky sports director: The Tour is okay for Froome
"The Tour is OK for Chris. It would be nice if we had more time trial kilometres because he is good at that, everybody knows that. But he's good at everything, even now at descending."
Photo: Unipublic / Graham Watson
CHRIS FROOME
Team Sky Sport Director Nicolas Portal believes there will be only a limited amount of opportunities to gain time at the 2017 Tour de France, after the route was announced by race organisers ASO.
Portal was in attendance at the route presentation with reigning champion Chris Froome and, speaking afterwards, he declared the route 'good' for the team, but warned that any time losses will be punished heavily.
With just three summit finishes on the route and only 36 time trial kilometres - including an opening prologue - the general classification race is set to be one of the tightest in years.
Portal told TeamSky.com: "In general, we know it is always hard and interesting, but there are some big Alps and Pyrenees stages missing this year. That doesn't mean it's going to be easier though.
"It's a Tour where if you lose a bit of time, it will be pretty hard to bring it back on GC. In years gone by there have been big, big mountain stages where you could say OK that one wasn't very good for me, but let's wait two or three days and we can maybe do something again, gain some time back. But in this Tour, if you start to lose time, it will be pretty complicated."
The race will start in Dusseldorf, Germany, and move onto Belgium and Luxembourg, before reaching France on day four. The route will take in all five of the mountain regions in France yet it features less HC, first or second category climbs than the 2016 race - 23, compared to 28.
Portal is already eyeing up the race's first summit finish, atop La Planche des Belles Filles - where Froome won his first Tour stage in 2012 - on stage five and Portal believes that will create early splits between the contenders.
"That will be the first proper summit finish," he added. "That will clearly be really hard and you will quickly see which five or six guys will play out the GC. If you can gain some seconds there then you need to do it. Obviously if you got the yellow jersey there it's pretty far from the finish, but as a team you would deal with that situation."
After the opening prologue blast around Dusseldorf the time trial bikes won't come out again until stage 20, for a 23km test against the clock in Marseille.
"The time trial in Marseille will be hot and it is quite short, with a small climb in the middle of the parcours. It will be all about what is left in the tank after a long three weeks.
"The Tour is OK for Chris. It would be nice if we had more time trial kilometres because he is good at that, everybody knows that. But he's good at everything, even now at descending, and the team knows how to control a race in the crosswinds. He's a really good climber, so for us it's a good Tour."

This beautiful anaqua tree lays claim to fame partly because until 1976 it was the largest of its species on record in the United States. In addition, it played a small role in the early history of Texas.
After the defeated Mexican General Martin Prefecto de Cos and his troops withdrew from San Antonio early in December 1835, Dr. James Grant, a well-educated Scotchman who had an "axe to grind," persuaded about 200 Texans and their commander, Francis W. Johnson, to embark on an attack against the rich Mexican settlement at Matamoros. Grant's large estate had been confiscated by the Mexican Government and he was obviously determined to recoup his loss.
The Council of the Provisional Government, then at odds with Governor Henry Smith and General Sam Houston, gave Johnson and Grant permission to proceed. The Council had previously appointed General James W. Fannin as their agent and gave him authority to accept the services of officers and men. Thus did the Council usurp General Houston's legal authority and divide the command of the Expedition.
Houston, hearing of the removal of his troops and of nearly all of the supplies from Bexar (San Antonio), hastened to Goliad to confront the expedition. He could persuade only about 30 men to return to Bexar.
On January 17, Houston went to Refugio and tried once again to stop the Expedition, which was illegally authorized and which he felt was doomed to failure. Near this giant anaqua tree, which stands at the site of the original Refugio Mission on the north bank of the Mission River, Houston spoke to Grant's men, camped along the river. He spoke of the futility of the project and begged them to at least wait until reinforcements from Alabama and Georgia arrived. Some agreed to wait. However, about 60 men took the three brass cannons and left for San Patricio with Johnson and Grant to await Fannin's arrival.
Fannin arrived in Refugio from Copano on February 1. Instead of joining Johnson and Grant, he went to reinforce Goliad. Later Fannin sent troops to San Patricio and reclaimed the three pieces of artillery from Grant and Johnson. Being divested of their horses, the two leaders divided their forces to find more mounts at ranches in the area. While they were divided, Johnson's party of about 35 men were overwhelmed in San Patricio February 27 by General Jose Urrea's troops. Several Texans were killed, 20 were taken prisoner, and Johnson and 5 or 6 others managed to escape. On March 2, Grant and all but six of his men were killed from ambush at Agua Dulce.
The Mission Anaqua was situated immediately behind Our Lady of Refuge Church on Roca Street in Refugio.

The Hindu reported that Pakistan Chief Executive Pervez Musharraf said that he did not know how many nuclear weapons Pakistan possessed. He also said that he didn't know how many missiles Pakistan needed for an effective deterrent and did not know if Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist. He made these statements in response to questions from a Russian reporter.
The government of Pakistan has indicated that it is set to establish a Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA), which will enforce safety and trade procedures in nuclear related activities. The NRA is unrelated to international nuclear regimes.
An editorial in Pakistan's News International by Zia Mian argued that while the international trend is clearly moving away from the use of nuclear power because of its dangers, Pakistan is proceeding with the building of the Chashma nuclear power plant.
An editorial in The Dawn urged the government of Pakistan to take a clear stance on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, saying that signing the CTBT would put Pakistan on the moral high-ground compared to India and would help forestall an arms race.
AN Prasad, former director of India's Bhabha Atomic Research Center, said that India should not sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Prasad said that India "should retain its option to carry out more nuclear tests if needed and not tie its hands by signing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty."
An article in the Times of India reported that US presidential candidate George W Bush's policies would be more favorable to India because Bush would be unlikely to push India to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
India regained international support for its resolution before the UN First Committee. The resolution calls for nuclear weapons states to review their nuclear doctrines and reduce the danger of their unintentional use.
India will receive from Russia the first of its ordered Sukhoi SU-30MKI multi-role fighter jets late in 2001, with complete delivery of all 40 by the end of 2003. The Indian Defense Ministry and Russia's Rosvoorouzhenie State Export Company are expected to conclude an agreement that will allow India to produce up to 150 SU-20MKI jets indigenously.
India's air reconnaissance unmanned vehicle was successfully test-launched. It has been successfully tested in the past.
A task force on defense headed by Minister of State for Defense Arun Singh proposed that India's strategic forces, and all tri-service institutions that currently exist, should be subordinated to a Chief of Defense Staff (CDS). The Hindu also reported that most UN Security Council countries have created a CDS post.
Jawaharlal Nehru University and the Indian Council for Social Science Research jointly launched the Center for the Study of National Security to provide long-term thinking on security issues that incorporates a comprehensive view of security and the role of culture and technology.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov told reporters during his visit to the PRC that Russia would support the development of a Russia-PRC-India axis.
At a meeting of the US-India Joint Working Group on UN Peacekeeping Operations, the US and India agreed to increase cooperation on peacekeeping activities.
Pakistan is ready to begin serial production of the Al-Khalid battle tank. The tank began to be designed in the 1980s and will replace older tanks in use.
Air Vice Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir was named Air Chief of Staff following the retirement of Air Chief Marshal Pervaiz Mehdi Qureshi.
The Times of India reported that Pakistani media are reporting that the Pakistani government has arrested a group carrying out terrorist activities and linked to India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
An editorial by MS Jillani in Pakistan's News International argues that while the US seems to be edging towards military intervention of some kind in the region, Pakistan has no need to worry about this threat.
A curfew intended to prevent communal violence was extended into its second day in areas of Kashmir after a Shiite leader and five others were killed by a landmine.
Pran Chopra, writing in The Hindu, argues that there is a fundamental change underway in Kashmir towards a peaceful settlement of the issue, catalyzed partly by Pakistan's failure in the Kargil incident and partly by the relief felt during the Hizbul Mujahideen ceasefire.
US Undersecretary of State for International Security and Arms Control John Holum stated that the US would like to see India and Pakistan engage in bilateral discussions on security issues. Short-term stabilizing steps, Holum said, could include Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty ratification, an end to fissile material production, support for the Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty, and restraining nuclear weapons and missile development.
The Hindu reported that the Pakistani Foreign Office stated that India has been escalating violence along the Line of Control. A Foreign Office spokesman said that India had fired 64,000 mortar shells onto civilians in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, killing 175 civilians this year. Both India and Pakistan accuse the other of attacking civilians across the border.
The Indian Army estimates that Pakistan has carried out 13 raids along the Line of Control and lost 43 soldiers this way in the last seven months. The Army would like to upgrade its surveillance technology. The Indian Army is reportedly using new electronic surveillance measures to monitor the Line of Control in several places in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Pakistani Army is believed by the local media to have passed on to militant groups the Estrela Surface to Air Missile (SAM). Militants may use the missiles against Indian helicopters, but may also fear that their use could lead to an escalation of violence.
The Times of India reported that new activities by the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) indicate that Pakistan is seeking to revive the Sikh militant group. An Indian Army analysis of Pakistan's proxy war indicates that the Pakistani ISI received over US$2.5 billion in earnings from drug trafficking, and that 5-10 percent of this is spent to support insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir.
The All-Hurriyat Party Conference (AHPC) and the Hizbul Mujahideen demanded a probe into every massacre of civilians in Jammu and Kashmir purportedly caused by militants.
The Norwegian envoy for peace talks, Eric Solheim, stated that he met with Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran and told him that the international community would like to see a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Sri Lankan officials said that while the Norwegian successes are important, it was also important to have India participate in solving the conflict.
Sri Lankan President Chandrika Kumaratunga discussed recent developments over the phone with Indian Prime Minister AB Vajpayee.
Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake and Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar were pessimistic about Solheim's meeting with the LTTE.

What Should High School Graduates Know And Be Able To Do?
Home Topics Blended & Personalized Learning What Should High School Graduates Know And Be Able To Do?
There has been lots of debate about K-12 learning expectations. But the conversations have focused almost entirely on reading, writing, and math. While common expectations in the basics are a good start, they don't fully describe what high school graduates should know and be able to do.
States and districts have long used graduation requirements as a concrete expression of the aims of K-12 education. But, in most states, this century old relic of courses and credits simply outlines minimum requirements and doesn't inspire or communicate a focus. Entirely missing are the skills and dispositions most important for success.
Several strands of work including workforce preparedness, character development, social emotional learning, and mindset, now inform school districts and networks. However, it remains challenging to describe the aims and measures of a rigorous well-rounded education (as noted in this discussion from Madison Schools).
The board of Danville Schools, a small district south of Lexington, KY embraced five goals that include key outcomes, global preparedness and excellence in communication, as well as process priorities, powerful learning experiences and at least a year of growth for every student.
In 2009, Kentucky signaled support for the career preparation framework of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Nineteen states are now partners in fusing the 3Rs with the 4Cs.
Think critically and solve complex problems. Students apply tools and techniques gleaned from core subjects to formulate and solve problems. These tools include data analysis, statistical reasoning, and scientific inquiry as well as creative problem solving, nonlinear thinking and persistence.
Develop academic mindsets. Students develop positive attitudes and beliefs about themselves as learners that increase their academic perseverance and prompt them to engage in productive academic behaviors. Students are committed to seeing work through to completion, meeting their goals and doing quality work, and thus search for solutions to overcome obstacles.
Content knowledge: Empowering students to engage in self-directed learning and develop key habits that are invaluable for college and life success.
Cognitive skills: Developing the deeper learning, critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in today and tomorrow's workforce.
Habits of success: Empowering students to engage in self-directed learning and develop key habits that are invaluable for college and life success.
Expeditions: Immersing students in real-world experiences to help them discover and explore passions and careers, and apply their learning in authentic ways.
Next steps. The Summit framework builds on work by David Conley of College Knowledge and College and Career Ready. He describe skills in four categories: think, know, act, go.
The Next Generation Learning Challenges team is working on a framework that synthesizes the best of Conley, Summit, P21, and Deeper Learning by combining basic skills, habits of success, and transition skills. Watch for a May release.
Districts can't rely solely on graduation requirements and state test scores as a proxy for quality education aims and measures. Students and community members deserve a more compelling and complete set of goals and metrics.
I feel high school students should know how to live in a society, where they can function economically, spiritually, socially and academically. Most students can function academically quite well, but the remaining are lacking. I feel they should be incorporated into the learning process or our society will continue to suffer as it is at this present time. No debate, it is what I have observed.

Bou Meng (,  ; born 1941) is one of only seven known adult survivors of the Khmer Rouge imprisonment in the S-21 Tuol Sleng camp, where 20,000 Cambodians were tortured and executed. He was arrested with his wife, Ma Yoeun, in 1976 and taken into S-21; they never met again after then. Bou Meng was tortured for weeks, with many kinds of torture devices (electric shock, bamboo sticks, whips, rattans, cart axles, etc.) and he had to fabricate confessions. He was spared from being slaughtered only because he was a highly skilled painter. His wife, according to the records of Tuol Sleng, was tortured and killed on August 16, 1977. His children ended up in a children's center, where they eventually starved to death.

In 2002, he was believed to be dead. In January 2002, Cambodian newspaper Phnom Penh Post wrote that he had died in the 1990s, while Cambodian magazine Searching for the truth wrote that he had "disappeared". When Bou Meng found out that people thought that he was dead, he went back to S-21 (which had been converted into a museum).

Early life
Bou Meng was born in 1941 into a peasant family. His father's name was Bou Hak, while his mother's name was Lay Kat; the family lived along the Mekong River, close to Kampong Cham. As it was normal at that time, many Cambodians didn't have a birth certificate and they often didn't know their exact birth date. His family was poor, but their conditions weren't that different from other common Cambodian families. At that time, Cambodia was under the French protectorate and the French had imposed heavy taxes on Cambodians. This, combined with the lack of land to farm, worsened their living conditions. Another problem was the lack of hospitals in the region where Bou Meng lived. If somebody got sick, they had to be taken to the district hospital.

Bou Meng studied at Kor wat with the monks since there were very few schools and teachers. Therein the monks taught him Khmer literature and mathematics. In the same wat, he became very interested in painting and its interest grew stronger and stronger.

In 1956, at the age of 15, Bou Meng became a monk. At that time, virtually every Cambodian family had at least a son who had become a monk, and it was a bad thing to not have a monk in one's family. In the meanwhile, he also used to visit a painting shop (named "Special Painting House") where he enjoyed seeing how pictures were made and, in the same shop, he met a few painters. A Chinese painter taught him to draw black and white pictures with a black powder made from petroleum, while another painter who had studied at the Fine Arts University in Phnom Penh taught him to paint "all kinds of pictures".

In 1963, Bou Meng returned to his hometown - Kampong Cham - where he started to work for cinema theaters as a painter. His job was to paint the pictures for each movie. It soon earned him a good living, and he married Ma Yoeun. In 1968 he also ran a small painting shop in Chamkar Leu district of Kampong Cham province.

Joining the revolution
On March 18, 1970 Prince Sihanouk was dethroned by a Coup d'état and Lon Nol took power over Cambodia. Cities and urban areas were controlled by the Khmer Republic dominated by Lon Nol, while the remaining areas were under the control of the Khmer Rouge.

Shortly thereafter, an old friend of Bou Meng whose name was Nai and a man whose name was Chhon asked him to join the revolution/CPK. Nai explained that it was about liberating both the country and Prince Sihanouk. Bou Meng was still unsure about what to do, but one day he heard on the radio Prince Sihanouk speaking from Beijing and appealing to the people to join the revolution. After hearing this, Bou Meng no longer hesitated to join the revolution and, in June 1971, he left his village with his wife and went to the jungle in order to help the revolutionaries. Bou Meng joined the revolution mainly because he wanted Prince Sihanouk to return to power.

On April 17, 1975 the Khmer Rouge successfully managed to take control of Phnom Penh and the whole country, and everybody celebrated inside the compound where Bou Meng was working. Short thereafter, they were told to travel to Phnom Penh and, on their way, they saw many city dwellers heading towards the opposite direction. Many were sad and some children were crying because they couldn't find their parents. Bou Meng "felt strange about these scenes" and since then he started to realize that he had been cheated by the revolution.

Work in Phnom Penh and captivity in S-21

Once in Phnom Penh, Bou Meng was assigned to work inside the State Commercial Office, while his wife Ma Yoeun was assigned to work at a hospital. In 1976, he and his wife were assigned to work at another place, i.e. Rassey Keo Technical School, while their children were sent to a children's center.

Not long thereafter, Bou Meng and his wife were sent to the Ta-Lei cooperative, an agricultural working site where he had to work very hard "from dawn to dusk", the food wasn't enough and he was losing weight day by day. He also found out that Ta-Lei cooperative was a sort of detention center and this shocked him. They couldn't understand what mistake they had committed. He also noticed that people at Ta-Lei gradually disappeared and new people arrived every day. On August 16, 1977 two youths told Bou Meng that he was assigned to teach at the Fine Arts School of Phnom Penh and he was very happy about this, since he didn't have to work in that cooperative anymore. But after they departed, they noticed that it wasn't the right way to the Fine Arts School. They had been taken to a detention center, a building surrounded by barbed wire (S-21). Bou Meng told them that they had done nothing wrong, but the guard screamed at them that Angkar never makes mistakes. Bou Meng described S-21 as "a hell on earth" (norauk lok kei).

Torture

Bou Meng was interrogated and tortured for weeks with methods like electric shocks, bamboo sticks and whips. Bou Meng once recalled that "they tortured me like an animal" and "my life was so miserable". Bou Meng always answered that he was innocent and that he had done nothing wrong, but the guards kept torturing him and asking him where he had met the CIA, KGB and "Yuon land swallowers", despite him not even knowing what they were. He finally fabricated confessions, hoping that they would stop torturing him. He said that he had joined the CIA at the pagoda with the monks and that he was asked to join the CIA by a pagoda boy. The guards also asked him about the CIA networks in the jungle, and he had to provide the names of 20 people he had met in that period.

Painting propaganda pictures inside S-21
A few weeks after his interrogation started, two youths visited the cells in order to find prisoners who could paint portraits and pictures. Bou Meng told them that he could do the job. But they also warned him that he would be killed if the picture was not lifelike.

Then, Bou Meng was taken to the health clinic of the prison in order to heal his wounds, and he met Comrade Duch, the chief of S-21. His treatment completely changed after being appointed as painter. He had to paint portraits of Pol Pot, Karl Marx, and other propaganda pictures. He said: "Because of my painting skills, I was now treated less harshly". He was also in touch with other prisoners who had been granted special treatment because of his skill, and one of those was Vann Nath.

Escape from S-21
The Vietnamese were getting closer and closer and, on January 7, 1979 Bou Meng and others were told to line up and they were walked to the exit gate of S-21. Bou Meng was scared, as he thought that his last day had come. They had to walk westward without being given food or water. They also passed Choeung Ek (the Killing Fields area) where they smelled a "stench of something like dead animals on the night breeze". At a certain point, they heard the tanks of the Vietnamese army getting closer and closer and four guards fled. The prisoners also managed to flee and, among those, also Bou Meng, who escaped northward with a friend. On their way, Bou Meng saw a lot of murdered people. They often found corpses lying dead and they took clothes from one of those, eating whatever they could find, such as fruit, roots and so on.

In 1981, Ung Pech, an ex-prisoner of S-21 (and one of only seven known adult survivors) who had become director of the museum, asked Bou Meng to come back to S-21. Bou Meng had never thought about coming back, but he saw it as an opportunity to recount the pain and fear he had suffered, and let both Cambodians and the whole world know about his experiences.
