Rhythm Prism Dialogue on Education
These are learning materials designed specifically for a Montessori classroom. Author Attribution:mr suave 2007/Ross Joan On Wikimedia Commons Used under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license.
Dialogue on Education #3 Maria Montessori: Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; Awarded the French Legion of Honor
Maria Montessori's ideas about education had much in common with those of both Rabindranath Tagore and Marie Curie. While all three began with the idea that children learn best when responding to their environment, Curie and Tagore envisioned a more freely structured experience than Montessori did.
Tagore and Montessori met in 1939. Before that they had corresponded and shared ideas. Each recognized that they shared a philosophical sympathy. Both believed that education should be child-centered but that the environment in which that education occurs should be stimulating and rich. The difference between the two philosophies may be rooted in Montessori's fixed ideas about child development. She believed that children go through distinct stages of learning in which they are receptive to distinct kinds of growth.
Montessori designed specific materials and described particular environments that are suitable for children in the different stages of development. While it is true that children in a Montessori system are allowed to respond to their environment in an organic way, the environment they are offered is very structured.
The Montessori system offers children freedom, but freedom within limits. Classrooms are "learning triangles." The three points in the triangle are the teacher, the materials and the student. When the student responds to appropriate materials and the teacher guides that response, Montessori believed, an optimal environment for learning and development exists.
As discussed in Dialogue #1 on this page, Marie Curie devised a system of education for her children in which they rotated from one rich environment to the other through the days of the week. The children were allowed to dabble in those areas that caught their interest. Curie believed that learning, in the right environment, would occur naturally and effortlessly. She believed knowledge acquired in this way would have a firmer and more enduring hold on a child's intellect.
In Dialogue #3, Tagore's informal approach to education is discussed. He placed his students in a stimulating environment with art, music and nature having principle influences. Tagore did not structure his program with age-appropriate modalities. He expected children's interest to expand with the richness of their exposures.
While Tagore, Montessori and Curie differed in the way they created learning environments for children, all three shared one over-arching principle: the child leads the way. The child is offered the opportunity to learn and if that opportunity is attractive enough the child will thrive.
Dialogue on Education #2: Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Laureate in Literature
The first entry on this page described Nobel Laureate Marie Curie's attitude toward formal education. The second dialogue discusses the views of another Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore.
Rabindranath Tagore with Mahatma Gandhi in Santiniketan, the site of Tagore's school and university. Taken before 1942, public domain.
Rabindranath Tagore was a philosopher, artist, poet, playwright, musician and social reformer. In 1913, he became the first non-European to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Despite this distinction, Tagore never earned a formal academic degree. When referring to his own education, Tagore spoke about 'freedom', not 'discipline'. He described his childhood home, which inspired his point of view, as one in which "freedom in the power of our language, freedom of imagination in our literature.. " prevailed. Rote learning and routinized instruction were stifling and counterproductive, in his view.
Tagore believed that education was an organic process in which the individual responded to the environment. Much in his philosophy of education resembled that of another Nobel Laureate, Marie Curie. Both Nobel Prize winners placed strong emphasis on nature. Both insisted on the importance of physical exercise. And both believed that exposure to brilliant minds and brilliant work would elevate, not frustrate, a child. Both were certain that bombarding a child with structured lessons was more likely to kill an appetite for learning than to stimulate it. They believed that acquiring knowledge should be as effortless as acquiring language is for a toddler.
While Rabindranath Tagore and Marie Curie believed that children should live in a harmonious relationship with nature, Tagore carried the theme of harmony further. He believed it was a function of education to foster harmony between people. He wanted children to be taught arts, especially music, because he thought that would enable them to develop sympathy for others. He thought that education should emphasize the progress of nations and not focus on wars and territorial conquests.
Rabindranath Tagore did not simply aspire to educational ideals: he gave them life. In 1901 he founded a school, Patha Bhavana, which embodied his principles. After he won the Nobel Prize, he invested in his school and expanded it into a university. That campus is now the site of one of the most prestigious universities in India, Visva-Bharati.
Were Rabindranath Tagore's ideas about education misguided? Many people who work in education today apparently believe so. Increased emphasis on standardized learning and objective testing seems to be proof of that. Schools today are laboratories in which competing theories of education are tested. As the experiment with today's children procedes, so will the dialogue about their future continue.

Dialogue # 1: Marie Curie, Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist
Wellcome Library, London Portrait of Marie Curie, and her two daughters, Eve and Irene, 1908 From: Madame Curie By: Curie, Eve 4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
There are few things people hold closer to their hearts than the education of children. Disagreement arises not about the goal, but on how to achieve that goal.
Theories about education don't evolve; they erupt. Most people understand that childhood offers a unique opportunity to influence minds for a lifetime. Maybe this explains the furor that has accompanied the Common Core roll-out in communities across the US. While the trend toward rigid standards, uniform curriculum and increased formal instruction seems sound to some, to others it seems a travesty, a squandering of childhood's most precious gifts: play, imagination and exploration. Included in this latter camp would surely be Marie Curie, mother of two girls.
If she were alive today, Marie Curie would likely be dismayed to see the imposition of rigid learning modalities on young children.
Marie's views on education were described by her daughter, Eve. In the acclaimed biography, Marie Curie, Eve recalled that her mother dreaded sending her children into the sterile, confining atmosphere of a structured classroom. The Nobel Prize-winning scientist regarded formal schooling as "hours of attendance". Curie's philosophy was that children should be encouraged to find their talents through exploration. It was in this way that Irene, the older daughter, early discovered an interest in mathematics. In like manner did Eve learn that she had a talent, and a passion, for music.
Essential to the daily regimen of both Curie children was vigorous physical activity. Marie installed gym equipment at home and took the girls on camping trips. Together the family biked across the countryside on extended expeditions. "Formal" instruction was put off for as long as possible. To replace this instruction, Marie devised a scheme with her colleagues at the Sorbonne.
The two Curie girls, along with several companions, would be exposed to the finest minds at the university. Each day the children–they were affectionately called 'little monkeys'– would spend hours with a professor from one discipline. On succeeding days they would rotate to other classrooms. The weeks would pass in this way, with the children engaged in a casual rotation between specialists in various fields. There was no regimentation, no pressure. Learning was accomplished in a stimulating, cheerful environment.
The time did come when Marie's daughters were obliged to attend formal classes. They apparently adjusted well after what some might regard as a bohemian introduction to learning. Irene eventually earned a Doctor of Science degree and Eve earned two bachelor degrees, one in philosophy and one in music.
Irene went on to win a Nobel Prize in 1935 and later continued to do groundbreaking research in nuclear physics. Eve tried her hand at a number of pursuits. She was a concert pianist, journalist, diplomat and humanitarian.
Irene died in 1956, Eve in 2007. It would difficult to imagine two more accomplished sisters. Did their mother's approach to education lay the groundwork for the extraordinary achievements of these women? Impossible to say. What is certain is that Marie's approach to education did not impede her children's development. It might even be suggested that the accomplishments of the Curie sisters help to support the argument against a rigid academic curriculum. Certainly, the example of these women offers the possibility that a rigid curriculum may not be the only, or even the best path to a successful future.

Q: Analyzing Large Graphs - Retrieving Clusters and Calculating Strongest Paths I tried to use Breadth-First algorithm to retrieve the whole cluster of connections to which the selected user belongs the following way:
CREATE PROCEDURE Breadth_First (@StartNode varchar(50), @LinkStrength decimal(10,7) = 0.1, @EndNode varchar(50) = NULL)
    AS
    BEGIN
        -- Automatically rollback the transaction if something goes wrong.
        SET XACT_ABORT ON
        BEGIN TRAN

        -- Increase performance and do not intefere with the results.
        SET NOCOUNT ON;

        -- Create a temporary table for storing the discovered nodes as the algorithm runs
        CREATE TABLE #Discovered
        (
             DiscoveredUser varchar(50) NOT NULL,    -- The Node Id
            Predecessor varchar(50) NULL,    -- The node we came from to get to this node.
            LinkStrength decimal(10,7) NULL, -- positive - from predecessor to  DiscoveredUser, negative - from  DiscoveredUser to predecessor
            OrderDiscovered int -- The order in which the nodes were discovered.
        )

        -- Initially, only the start node is discovered.
        INSERT INTO #Discovered ( DiscoveredUser, Predecessor, LinkStrength, OrderDiscovered)
        VALUES (@StartNode, NULL, NULL, 0)

        -- Add all nodes that we can get to from the current set of nodes,
        -- that are not already discovered. Run until no more nodes are discovered.
        WHILE @@ROWCOUNT > 0
        BEGIN
            -- If we have found the node we were looking for, abort now.
            IF @EndNode IS NOT NULL
                IF EXISTS (SELECT TOP 1 1 FROM #Discovered WHERE  DiscoveredUser = @EndNode)
                    BREAK

            -- We need to group by ToNode and select one FromNode since multiple
            -- edges could lead us to new same node, and we only want to insert it once.
            INSERT INTO #Discovered ( DiscoveredUser, Predecessor, LinkStrength, OrderDiscovered)
            (SELECT mc.called_party, mc.calling_party, mc.link_strength, d.OrderDiscovered + 1
            FROM #Discovered d JOIN monthly_connections mc ON d. DiscoveredUser = mc.calling_party
            WHERE mc.called_party NOT IN (SELECT  DiscoveredUser From #Discovered) AND mc.link_strength > @LinkStrength
            UNION
            SELECT mc.calling_party, mc.called_party, mc.link_strength * (-1), d.OrderDiscovered + 1
            FROM #Discovered d JOIN monthly_connections mc ON d. DiscoveredUser = mc.called_party
            WHERE mc.calling_party NOT IN (SELECT  DiscoveredUser FROM #Discovered) AND mc.link_strength > @LinkStrength
            )
        END;

        -- Select the results. We use a recursive common table expression to
        -- get the full path from the start node to the current node.
        WITH BacktraceCTE(Predecessor,  DiscoveredUser, LinkStrength, OrderDiscovered, Path)
        AS
        (
            -- Anchor/base member of the recursion, this selects the start node.
            SELECT d.Predecessor, n. DiscoveredUser, d.LinkStrength, d.OrderDiscovered,
                CAST(n. DiscoveredUser AS varchar(MAX))
            FROM #Discovered d JOIN users n ON d. DiscoveredUser = n. DiscoveredUser
            WHERE d. DiscoveredUser = @StartNode

            UNION ALL

            -- Recursive member, select all the nodes which have the previous
            -- one as their predecessor. Concat the paths together.
            SELECT d.Predecessor, n. DiscoveredUser, d.LinkStrength, d.OrderDiscovered,
                CAST(cte.Path + ',' + CAST(n. DiscoveredUser as varchar(30)) as varchar(MAX))
            FROM #Discovered d JOIN BacktraceCTE cte ON d.Predecessor = cte. DiscoveredUser
            JOIN users n ON d. DiscoveredUser = n. DiscoveredUser
        )

        SELECT Predecessor,  DiscoveredUser, LinkStrength, OrderDiscovered, Path FROM BacktraceCTE
        WHERE  DiscoveredUser = @EndNode OR @EndNode IS NULL -- This kind of where clause can potentially produce
        ORDER BY OrderDiscovered                -- a bad execution plan, but I use it for simplicity here.

        DROP TABLE #Discovered
        COMMIT TRAN
        RETURN 0
    END

The Graph (social network) which I am currently analyzing has 28M connections and without ignoring weak connections (set treshold with @LinkStrength) the execution is running very long time (so far I haven't got any results and will try to leave it running over night).
Anyway the next step is to calculate the shortest (strongest) links between two users (there are around 3M users). I was thinking about using Djikstra algorithm but am not sure whether it is possible to analyze such network on the PC I am currently using (Quad CPU 2.66 GHz, 4GB RAM) and the data is stored in MS SQL Server 2008 database.
To summarize I would appreciate to get some answers/suggestions for the following questions:

*

*Is it possible to execute the
queries as complex as one above for
described graph (28M connections, 3M
users) on the described machine
(2.66 GHz, 4GB RAM)?

*If it is not possible are there any
other possible approaches by which
the execution time could be reduced
(e.g. creating tables with partial
results)?

*Do you recommend any other
algorithms for detecting clusters
and calculating shortest paths for
the described graph?

Thank you!

A: First, use indexes.
Second, you need to reduce your memory requirements. That means first provide a short alias for your VARCHAR(50), such as int which is 4 bytes instead of 50. That will get you a 10x speedup.
declare @tmpPeople table(
  ixPerson int identity primary key,
  UserNodeID varchar(50),
  unique(UserNodeID, ix) -- this creates an index
)
Insert @tmpPeople(UserNodeID) select UserNodeID from NormalPeopleTable
declare @relationships table(
  ixParent int,
  ixChild int,
  unique(ixParent, ixChild),
  unique(ixChild, ixParent)
)
insert @relationships(ixParent, ixChild)
select distinct p.ixPerson, c.ixPerson
from NormalRelationshipsTable nr
inner join @tmpPeople p on p.UserNodeID = nr.ParentUserNodeID
inner join @tmpPeople c on c.UserNodeID = nr.ChildUserNodeID

-- OK now got a copy of all relationships, but it is a fraction of the size
-- because we are using integers for the keys.
-- if we need to we can insert the reverse relationships too.

You need to write a query which does what you want, not something "generic".
If you want to find the shortest distance between two nodes, you can cut your search time by searching from both ends at once.
declare @p1 table(
ix int identity primary key,
ixParent int,
ixChild int,
nDeep int,
-- Need indexes
unique(ixParent, ixChild, nDeep, ix),
unique(ixChild, ixParent, nDeep, ix)
)
-- That's now indexed both ways.
-- If you only need one, you can comment the other out.
-- define @p2 the same

insert @p1 (ixParent, ixChild, nDeep) select @ixUserFrom, @ixUserFrom, 0
insert @p2 ..... @ixUserTo, @ixUserTo, 0

-- Breadth first goes like this.
-- Just keep repeating it till you get as far as you want.
insert @p1 (ixParent, ixChild, nDeep)
select
p1.ixChild, r.ixChild, p1.nDeep+1
from @p1 p1 inner join @relationships r on r.ixParent = p1.ixChild
-- may want to exclude those already in the table
where not exists (
    select 1 from @p1 p1
    where p1.ixParent = p.ixChild and p1.ixChild = r.ixChild
)

For a "distance from Alice to Bob" you do two searches in parallel, and stop when Alice's search contains anyone also contained in Bob's search. That also cuts your time down by a factor of n^2 where n is the average number of connections.
Don't forget to stop if the depth gets too much.

A: Whether you go for breadth first or depth first does not really matter if you want an exact answer. Exact answers will require exhaustive search, which will be slow.
Like fmark suggests, a heuristic could help you find a potentially maximal solution with a reasonable degree of certainty. It will save you a lot of time, but it will not be exact.
You have to choose speed or exactitude, you can't really have both. It's like image compression for photographs (or sound or video): with most photographs of natural scenes png is lossless but does not compress much, jpeg compresses quite well but with some loss.
EDIT 1: The only thing I can think of that could help you with the exact search is the mathematical theory of sparse matrices. Your problem is akin to elevating the social relations strength matrix to a range of different powers (power n = n steps between person A and B) and finding out which cells have the highest values for each (A, B) pair. This is what you are doing with your query, only a DB query might not be the fastest way to achieve this.
I can't help you more with this though. You might want to check out Wikipedia for Sparse Matrix.
EDIT 2: I just thought about one more thing. I can't see how you can cull out branches that you know will be definitely weak with an SQL query whereas with a tailored algorithm to work on your sparse matrix, it should be easy to cull out branches that you know can be eliminated, based on your strength model.

A: Perhaps it would help to first migrate to a Graph DB before doing your analytics.  I've not used them personally, but had been recommended that I try neo4j.

Amazon.com has just started selling iPads. Amazon is behind Kindle and is quite unwilling to consider Apple iPad a direct competitor in the e-reader market. Regardless, the company has decided to sell Apple iPad on its website. Many industry experts have considered the iPad to be a big problem for Kindle to overcome. Apple may not have the market lead with iBooks store but it is selling iPads like hotcakes. It seems Amazon is not too worried about iPad killing off Kindle.
All iPad models are now up for sale on Amazon.com. Unlike Apple store, Amazon does not charge a sales tax, though consumers are responsible for paying that to the government. Amazon may have just started selling Apple iPad but it will continue to heavily push its Kindle products. As long as people keep buying e-books from Amazon (Kindle app is available on iPad too), the company wins.

Accompanied by 3-D projections, Kraftwerk will play music from each of their albums, as well as reconfigured compositions from their catalogue. The exhibition begins on April 10th with their 1974 debut, Autobahn, with each following evening dedicated to their discography in chronological order. Tickets go on sale here on February 22nd.


Eachine has done a really great job in introducing the H8 mini quadcopter to drone enthusiasts. It is really compact in design and has a light build. You can fly it within the four walls of your room with very good handling. For a price range this affordable, it provides features at par with the high-end drones.
It has been designed to give you the best thrills without burning a hole in your pocket. It has been constructed in a lean way ensuring that it does not weigh a lot! It is really easy to fly and takes very less time to master. And if you plan on crashing the drone while learning it, you don't have to worry about its propellers, as blade guards ensure that they stay protected.
The headless mode lets you maneuver the drone without worrying about the direction, and you can command it to perform 360-degree flips too.
It is best to start slow by doing simple low height flights. Once you get the knack of it, there will be no stopping you from performing more elaborate moves with your drone!
When you lift it in your palm you will realize how compactly it has been built. It has been efficiently crafted out of lightweight materials for the airframe. It is highly durable making it really maneuverable and crash proof. And thanks to the spare parts you get you don't really have to worry about finding spares when they break down.
The product measures 13.5 cm in length and breadth. It has a total height of 2.8 cm. The drone weighs about 6.4 ounces. Another additional safety feature is its launching pads that come along with the drone.
With a frequency of 2.4 GHz the controller has a good range of 30 meters. It is a 4-channel controller allowing the drone to do complicated maneuvers. A really helpful feature is its return to home feature. It allows the user to bring the drone back automatically to its initial position with just a single touch. This is a really useful trick for the beginners.
You will enjoy flying this really stable drone because of its superb flexible maneuverability.
Is EACHINE H8 Mini Quadcopter Drone worth the money?
It definitely is! You get all the amazing features in just a single drone and at such cheap prices. Its durability cannot be questioned, because of it extensively iterated design. With features like the headless mode and return-to-home option it is a great buy! In fact, it is a bargain at such a low cost. You would need to invest a lot more if you were looking for similar features in any other drone.

My first encounter with Lynn C Tolson was actually on Facebook. As I became involved in groups and pages about childhood sexual abuse, Lynn's name kept popping up everywhere. Who was this woman? My research revealed she was an author, herself once a victim of sexual abuse, and currently a social worker and speaker who gives a great deal of her time and self to helping other victims, both on and offline. I got the impression she was well-known and I felt dwarfed by her achievements. But at that point, she was still just a name with a nice Facebook photo.
Now, having read Lynn's book, if it were possible, the one thing I'd love to do is meet her in person. I want to meet this woman who at the opening of her book was on her way to commit suicide. She'd had it! She couldn't take any more. She hauled into a motel, swallowed all the pills she could find and waited for death to come. But life wasn't done with her yet because she had a mission to fulfill: to heal from her own devastating and lonely past; to conquer her drug-addicted lifestyle; to rid herself of an older husband who was using her low self-esteem to victimize her further, and ultimately to share her path to recovery with the thousands of other victims out there who might also think that taking their own lives is the only solution. Thank heaven Lynn's attempt to end it all failed or Beyond the Tears wouldn't have been written.
The one thing that stood out for me as I got further and further into Lynn's story of sexual abuse by both her schizophrenic biological father, and later, by her older brother, was her extreme isolation, even as a young child, in a family of several members. Like all victims of sexual abuse, she couldn't bring herself to tell her own mother of the abuse. Why? Because her mother was too delicate, too fragile. So to save her mother from heartache, she let her own heart ache with her ugly secret. Intimidated by her step-father, confused by her own father, ignored by her mother and scorned and berated by her abusive brother, Lynn wandered through her teens dulling her pain on street drugs. She watched a soul-mate die from an overdose and still couldn't help herself. After compounding the mess of her life by marrying a mentally and verbally abusive husband, suicide seemed the only out till fate stepped in. Lynn met Karen and with love, caring and wise counsel, Karen got Lynn to open up and tell all.
As all abuse victims come to realiize sooner or later, healing begins in finally telling someone, but it is journalling, writing, that ultimately closes the wounds. Karen encouraged Lynn to do that. Lynn took another 20 years before putting pen to paper and further heal, but it is her readers, especially those who are victims of childhood sexual abuse who benefit from her writing. Lynn not only shares her life with us in an easy to read, semi-fictional style, but she peppers her story with insights and reflections on the personalities of her family and how they contributed to her isolation, an isolation I sense she still feels today but is able to live with. Every so often, she throws in some touching poetry that is short and poignant. And by sharing Karen's words of counsel and wisdom with us, Lynn offers the reader concepts that truly help one heal.
If there's one thing I love about the internet and social networking sites like Facebook, it's that it clarifies perceptions we form of people when we only meet them in print, as in their blogs, poems or books. Read their words and you form a picture of them. Look at their photos and we see what the words don't show. Listen to their voices, as I did recently in a blog talk show with Lynn and the image sharpens. Watch a video (Lynn has one on her own blog site at http://beyondthetears.blogspot.ca, and you suddenly know a lot more about this person who till now was just a name on a book.
Getting to know Lynn C Tolson begins with reading BEYOND THE TEARS, but don't stop there! Visit her blog, read her posts, check out her other reviews and videos at Goodreads, and come to know this strong woman who was once a victim of child sexual abuse but is today a survivor and thriver. As Karen told her: "When you lose your identity as a victim, you gain an identity as a survivor". BEYOND THE TEARS is a guide to doing just that.

Ruined farmstead at Middleworth, Walkhampton
Standing remains of a farmstead at Middleworth, which was occupied from the late 13th century through to about the 1920s. The remains are of a range of buildings thought to date to the mid-late 19th century.

Middleworth is depicted on the Tithe Map: plot numbers 1048, 1076. Row of at least five buildings aligned roughly north-south, the central of which appears to have a horse-engine house on the western side.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century historic map shows changes to the layout of the farm, primarily that the main buildings are now east-west aligned, and are presumably replacements. Farmstead occupies a smaller area than shown on the Tithe Map.
Much the same as the late 19th century historic map.

The farmhouse is knocked down and so damaged that it is difficult to reconstruct but shippen still stands to full height. As part of the process of implementing management policies for sites around Burrator Reservoir, the ruins of a late 19th century granite barn at Middle-worth were consolidated. Barn is only surviving structure of what was once a complex of farm buildings first documented in 1281.

The monument includes a farmstead situated on a south facing terrace at Middleworth overlooking the Narrator Brook. The farmstead survives as a series of drystone walls denoting the position of the farmhouse and a range of outbuildings and paddocks. At the eastern end of the complex a barn remains standing to its original height, but all the other buildings have lost their upper levels. The farmhouse survives as a rectangular building with drystone walls standing up to 1.7m high in which at least two window openings are visible. The interior of this structure measures 8.6m long by 7.5m wide and a bank protruding south from the building may represent the site of a porch. An outshut attached to the eastern wall stands up to 1.5m high. East of the farmhouse is the barn, which is subdivided into at least five separate rooms. South of the farmhouse is a small structure subdivided into four rooms, one of which represents a lavatory. In the south western part of the farmstead are a further three barns and a paddock. The settlement at Middleworth is first documented in 1281 and it would appear to have remained in constant occupation until it was abandoned in the 1920s.

While many commodities overnight seem to be benefiting from favorable Chinese economic data, gold prices closed lower in Hong Kong in a sign that Chinese gold traders are not focusing on classic physical demand forces. However gold prices around the world are tracking higher perhaps off a reversal in the dollar which at times overnight fell below the Tuesday low.
We suspect that part of the higher price action in gold to start today is classic technical short covering given the magnitude of the aggressive washout yesterday. On the other hand volume on the washout yesterday jumped up and that might suggest the potential for some form of value around the $1275.50 level.
While the June gold contract might have a temporary pause above the $1,275 level, ongoing ETF liquidation, more rotation out of gold to other investments and reports of soft Japanese retail gold sales in the 1st quarter should generally leave the bear camp in control.
Gold ETF's saw a reduction of 64,008 ounces of gold from their holdings yesterday but on the year ETF's have still made net purchases of 724,254 ounces.
Silver ETF's reducing their holdings by 821,453 ounces which brings this year's sales to 6.9 million ounces.
Even the supply-side of the equation has its foot on the neck of the gold market with an S&P Global Market Intelligence analyst yesterday projecting gold production to be another record this year. Apparently declining South African gold production continues to be more than offset by new production sources. Unless something changes in the headlines from a fundamental perspective, the technical action looks to dominate and more declines are likely.


In the economic downturn, securing new funds for your business was as difficult as tracking a polar bear in a snowstorm, especially for start-ups.
Despite the perceived upturn in the economy, bank lending to small and medium sized business is still in decline and there are no signs of the position changing. As a result, business owners have had to look at more innovative ways to fund and grow their business. While some options may only be appropriate for relatively new businesses, others will be suitable for more mature businesses either looking to fund growth or requiring emergency cash flow. As a start-up, your options are likely to be limited and initially the only option may be yourself or family.
Before looking for third party funding you should first be clear what it is required for e.g. more staff, premises, machinery, etc., how much this will cost and how it will improve profit and cash flow.
Once you have an idea of what you need, consider whether external finance is required at all, e.g. an established business may be able to fund itself by making improvements to cash flow.
Cash is still king and a review of prices, costs, sales, stock levels, debtors etc. may show that managing cash flow more effectively will enable you to avoid the need for emergency funding.
If funding cannot be achieved internally or is not an option, the next step is to consider what choices you have and which of those would best suit the business. Funding can generally be divided in two categories: borrowing and capital investment. Borrowing means the business will have to service the debt and you may have to provide personal guarantees, whereas capital investment involves giving up part of your ownership.
Outside normal business loans and overdrafts, most of the main banks offer the Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) loan; this is a government backed guarantee scheme to facilitate lending to viable businesses that have been turned down for a normal commercial loan due to a lack of either security or a proven trading record. Although welcome, in our experience businesses have had difficulties in getting banks to agree to EFG loans.
Peer to peer lending – the practice of lending money to unrelated individuals, or "peers", without going through a traditional financial intermediary such as a bank. The company "advertises" their business and loan proposition on a web-based platform to potential lenders, who indicate their interest and the amount they are prepared to lend. With low returns for savers, there has been an 80% growth in funds from investors seeking a better return.
Working capital – linked to the above, these are online auctions of individual invoices or packages of invoices (this is a growing new form of funding that avoids the high cost of full debt factoring).
Leasing assets/hire purchase – these provide an alternative to buying machinery or equipment. Some companies offer beneficial arrangements through organisations such as the Federation of Small Businesses, while others offer favourable terms e.g. BT gives start-ups favourable terms for a three year lease on telecoms/computer equipment.
Debt factoring/invoicing discounting – although commercially different, both factoring and discounting are based on the principle of selling a business's invoices to a third party. The third party is charged with processing the invoices, and the business can receive loans based on the expected invoice payments.
Pensions – company pension schemes are not generally permitted to make loans to their sponsoring employer. One exception is the Small Self-Administered Scheme (SSAS), provided certain conditions are met. However, borrowing from your pension means your fund is at risk.
Lenders of last resort can be considered for small loans where the business has been refused by a bank. These are typically charities or regional/local council initiatives and can lend funds up to a limit of around £20,000. Interest is charged on the unsecured loan, generally slightly higher than a high street lender.
Short-term lenders such as Wonga now offer businesses short-term emergency loans to solve cash flow problems, but it is important to consider the interest rates and affordability.
For start-ups, personal loans of up to £25,000 can be obtained from the Government's start-up loan initiative. The average granted is around £6,000.
Capital investment requires the business owner to give up part of their ownership (i.e. shares in a limited company or a capital share in a partnership) in exchange for a cash investment.
It is important for owners to understand that, in most cases, this may result in third parties being involved in running their business. This should be viewed as positive where, in addition to the cash, the investor brings useful skills, experience and contacts.
Web-based crowd source funding, which can either be equity based (shares), the most common, or reward based (for example, percentage of future returns). Similar to peer to peer lending, it involves pitching your business on a web platform to attract investors.
Accelerators – either government or privately backed programmes for young, high growth businesses, these generally provide some level of funding and support such as mentoring, office space and training.
Business angels – usually wealthy individuals who have already made their fortune through other business ventures and may provide time and experience as well as money. They may invest on their own or as part of an angel network. Although there is no set limit, angel funding is typically in the £400k to £500k range. For larger investments, a venture capital company can be considered.
There are tax advantages for investors in making capital investments to limited companies under the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS). Each scheme has its own qualifying conditions, including the amount that can be invested and the type of trade the company conducts.
Grants normally relate to specific industry sectors or those businesses based in a particular region earmarked for development or regeneration. For example, the Technology Strategy Board is a government funded body that provides grants to bring new products and services to the market. Alternatively, your local council may offer small grants for improving your shop front or assisting with training.
Raising finance from an external source can provide a crucial launch pad when growing a business. When looking for funding, you need to consider all your options, how to apply for investment to maximise your chances of success, and whether you meet all the funding criteria.

Making the pilgrimage to Australia's most iconic rock is an essential travel experience. While there are now a variety of ways to experience Uluru (Ayers Rock) in a culturally sensitive and responsible manner, there are also plenty of other off-the-beaten-path attractions in the Northern Territory desert to really get the most of your trip.
Get ready to rock and roll through the Red Centre experiencing stunning climbs and hikes, a wealth of fascinating culture and history as well as a handful of quirky festivals and events.
Uluru might be the key draw of visiting Australia's Red Centre, but it's not the only big rock out there. Roughly 30km from the most renowned rubble in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, the 36 striking red domes of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) are well worth a journey. Kata Tjuta means 'many heads', and is of great tjukurpa (relating to Aboriginal law, religion and custom) significance. It is for this reason that only two walks remain open to tourists: the short and beautiful Walpa Gorge walk (2.6km return, 45 minutes), and the more challenging but rewarding Valley of the Winds loop (7.4km, between two and four hours). Tourists are urged to stay on the tracks, and climbing on the boulders is not permitted.
Like Uluru, Kata Tjuta looks particularly beautiful at sunset, and the dune viewing platform is a fantastic place to be during sunrise, when the morning sun crests directly behind majestic Uluru in the distance. The domes can be visited independently with your park entry ticket ($25), or on one of many tours that can be booked through Ayers Rock Resort.
And then there's 'Fool-uru'. Known as Uluru's forgotten rock, Atila (Mt Conner) was formed during the same period of uplift that created its likeness approximately 550 million years ago. The majestic mesa sits on Curtin Springs cattle station, 80km north of Uluru. Tourists were once allowed to drive freely through the area, but following one rescue too many, the station owners enlisted the help of local operator SEIT Outback Australia to run tours from Uluru.
On a half-day 4WD tour of the property, you'll visit the spectacular salt flats of Lake Swanson, featuring free-roaming cattle and feral camels (half a million camels are thought to run wild in the Aussie outback!) on your way to get a close-up of Atila. If you decide to grab dinner at Curtin Springs on the way back to Uluru, you might be lucky enough to meet iconic local character Peter Severin, who set up the station with his wife Dawn in 1956.
It would be remiss to leave Uluru without taking time to learn more about its deep spiritual and cultural significance to the Anangu, Uluru's traditional custodians. The excellent Cultural Centre (and attached Walkatjara Art Centre) near the foot of Uluru, and the base walk itself (the daily Mala Walk is often led by indigenous guides) both offer fascinating insights, but the opportunities don't stop there.
Ayers Rock Resort offers half a dozen cultural experiences ranging from free garden walks and dot painting workshops, to the on-site Mani-Mani Cultural Theatre which screens the story of Aboriginal ancestral beings, Walawuru, Kakalyalya and Kaanka.
Next to the Desert Gardens Hotel, the Wintjiri Arts & Museum provides a glimpse into the region's history, geology, flora and fauna, showcasing Anangu-made art and products. The Mulgara Gallery in the foyer of Sails in the Desert hotel exhibits fascinating indigenous art and craft. Local artists also sell pieces at the daily art market held in the resort's modest 'town square'.
Intrigued? It's currently possible to visit private Aboriginal lands on two 4WD drive tours offered by Uluru Family Tours that can be booked through SEIT Outback Australia. The Patji Tour allows you to explore Anangu Country with a member of the Uluru family. You will visit sacred sites, try your hand at traditional food gathering, and learn about the family's struggle for land rights. On the Cave Hill Tour you will visit one of the most significant rock art sites in Central Australia accompanied by an Anangu guide, who will teach you about its tjukurpa.
Located 300km from Uluru, it is entirely possible to hike the legendary Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park on a day trip from Ayers Rock area. If you're driving and hope to do the famous 6km Rim Walk (between three and four hours), aim to arrive before 9.00am on days forecast to hit 36°C, when rangers close the gates for safety reasons.
If you don't have your own set of wheels, you can book a return guided hiking tour with AAT Kings, who also offer onward passage to Alice Springs (320km north) at the end of the day. The tour stops at quirky Kings Creek Station for breakfast (where you can stock up on bottles of water if you haven't already brought the required three litres), and the plush Kings Canyon Resort for lunch following the hike.
The Rim Walk begins with a steep, challenging climb (ominously nicknamed 'Heart Attack Hill'), but once you reach the peak it's a relatively easy amble through spectacular landscapes including the beehive-like domes of the so-called 'Lost City', followed by the lush oasis at the heart of the canyon known as the Garden of Eden. Those looking for a less strenuous walk may prefer the 2km Creek Bed Walk (one hour), which highlights impressive views of the canyon periphery.
If you are driving, there's also the Kathleen Springs Walk, a 2.6km (1.5 hour) return walk to a waterhole, situated just down the road from Kings Canyon. Serious hikers can head for the Giles Track, a 22km route, typically undertaken as an overnight hike. Like Uluru and Kata Tjuta, part of the gorge is a sacred Aboriginal site and visitors are discouraged from straying from the walking tracks.
Cooler autumn climates spell festival season in Uluru, kicking off with the Tjungu Festival in April, which celebrates the best of Australian indigenous culture with lively markets, musical performances, delicious culinary experiences and sports events. At the end of the May there's Uluru's Camel Cup, with plenty of entertainment both on and off the racetrack. Ayers Rock Resort also hosts a changing roster of special events, from astronomer-in-residence programs and yoga retreats, to British artist Bruce Munro's exquisite Field of Light exhibition, which runs until the end of March 2018.


The Rebel Sweetheart.: Foodie Goodie | Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Blizzard.
Foodie Goodie | Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Blizzard.
Upon learning that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is Dairy Queen's Blizzard of the month, I made a mental note to give this flavor a try the next time I pass by Dairy Queen. The opportunity came yesterday, as my friends and I were in Manila to do some Christmas shopping. We were at the 168 Mall, which has not one, but two Dairy Queen stores.
Reese's PBC Blizzard comes in three flavors - Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry, and four different sizes - Mini (Php 59), Regular (Php 69), Medium (Php 79), and Large (Php 109).
I love Blizzards at DQ! Reese's are my all time favorite candy, too! YUM!
I was so addicted to Reese's as a little kid! Now I prefer other peanut butter cups that are less sugary, and are made with dark chocolate. I do treat myself to a Blizzard occasionally, though! I think I would enjoy the Vanilla Reese's Blizzard most, even though I love chocolate a lot ;).
This looks yummy. I haven't had a blizzard in a few weeks. My favorite it cookie dough.
I love these reese's pieces with a passion, mixed with ice cream makes it so much better!
This looks yummy. The three flavors in four different sizes of cups is really a good option to chose from. I am going to try all these flavors.
I so wish we had a Dairy Queen here. Thanks for sharing.
i kind of wish i hadn't seen this, but glad at the same time. this looks amazing. i love DQ1 may just have to get this tonight.


Home / Growth / Take the leap!
Take a chance, leap, trust, go for it! These are all great words of wisdom until you are paralyzed by indecision and afraid to make the "wrong" choice. It can often feel overwhelmingly difficult to move forward in those moments when you can see the benefits of both options–or worse the risks of both.
Let's take a deeper look at one of our recommendations for keeping on track to manifesting your dreams–take a chance. We all know that the pros and cons of big decisions are rarely cut and dry. The "right" answer often eludes us and at these moments we find our inner guidance too quiet to hear over the chatter of internal arguments going on in our head. At these times the words "take a chance" can seem frivolous and definitely not inspirational.
Often we do not move forward with inspiration because we fear the effect on our life and others. And then the opportunity passes and we find ourselves in wishful agony about things we didn't do.
So how do we create strength in ourselves to make these big decisions and get out of grid lock?
First, we need to assess the cost of not moving.
Sometimes opportunities are fleeting and we need to know the cost of not acting. Make a list. The lost opportunity costs can be financial gain, emotional benefits, lifestyle changes, and future opportunities that arise from this first decision. The cost can also be timing costs–if the change is going to happen at some point anyway and we wait, we loose precious opportunity to start building the new.
Second, we need to get clarity on the real risks.
A technique I learned years ago to gain perspective on the "what if this happens" fears is to take each item on my risk list and ask two questions. One, "How likely is this to happen?" Give it a number between 1 and 10 with 10 being 100% likely. Discard anything scoring under 4 –it probably should not be getting the weight it is getting in this decision. The second question I ask is, "What would be worse than this risk happening?" I then come up with 4-5 things that I would dislike happening even more than the perceived risk keeping me from acting. When I look at the "big" possible problems stopping me from moving in context to other bad things that could go wrong in my life they start to take their place in the range of possibilities. I make better choices when I have a balanced perspective and my "boogy man" risks are reduced to their real size.
Once we have looked honestly at the risks to taking or not taking action we must turn our attention to the benefits of taking the leap of faith in ourselves and this decision.
Writing on a separate piece of paper all the positive outcomes we expect or hope for by making this choice will help give weight to them. We should let our imagination go, add details and how we will feel when we have accomplished our desired plan. As we write about one outcome another may come to mind and be added. This is not the pros and cons excercise that has been going on in our head. It is the vivid creation of images that help us assess whether this decision really excites us and the potential of it happening gives us chills. Because at the end of the day, those are the only things we want to invest our energy in anyway.
One last thing to assess–and often we need the help of a good friend who can be honest with us–is how much of what is holding us back is purely our lack of confidence in ourselves or our lack of investment in the things that make our heart sing?
If we invest in ourself and the worse thing on our list happens, we still might be better off than if we stay in a place where our own actions do not validate our worthiness. Here are some great quotes to help motivate bold, inspired action.
And when all else fails remember to take yourself less seriously! My first boss reminded me of this and asked me to assess all my successes and failures in the light of, "What will this mean to me in 1 year, 5 years, 20 years? What will this mean to the rest of the world? How important is it in the scheme of things, really?
