A system of polynomial equations $f=(f_1(x_1,\ldots, x_m),\ldots, f_n(x_1,\ldots,x_m))$ is called overdetermined, if it has more equations than variables; i.e., when $n>m$. HomotopyContinuation.jl can solve overdetermined systems. Here is a simple example.
This system has 4 equation in 3 variables. One might expect that it has no solution, but actually it has solutions, as is explained here.

EsterEv to drop Tock, use OpenTable
Carol Deptolla
EsterEv in the Third Ward is switching from the Tock ticketing system to OpenTable for reservations, which means guests at the tasting-menu restaurant no longer will have to pay in advance.
The change will be effective Monday.
The restaurant in December reduced the deposit on tickets bought through Tock; it had gone from the full price for dinner ($80) to half that.
Even so, diners uniformly didn't embrace it. Dan Jacobs — co-chef and co-owner of EsterEv with Dan Van Rite — said he was told the restaurant had more people who checked it out at Tocktix.com but didn't buy tickets than any other restaurant using the system.
EsterEv is at 360 E. Erie St., inside Dandan, the chefs' other restaurant. Dandan is already on OpenTable.
Tock's premise is that diners essentially would buy tickets to dinner — or whatever function the business is holding — in advance the way they would a concert or sporting event, including tax and tip. Guests then simply show up at the restaurant, enjoy dinner and leave without having to perform another transaction.
The advantage for restaurants is that having diners buy tickets in advance reduces waste and loss by eliminating reservation no-shows and by letting chefs know just how many guests they'll have each night.
The only businesses in the Milwaukee area using Tock besides Dandan are the Chef's Table, a private-event venue at 500 S. 3rd St. that's open only one night a month for public dinners, and the Ruby Tap wine bar in Wauwatosa and Mequon, which sells tickets for small-group events such as an intimate brunch or a personal wine tasting. Dan Nelson, who is a co-owner of the Ruby Tap, is the director of design for Tock.
Tock serves more than 120 restaurants in 42 cities, such as Alinea and Next in Chicago (which are owned by Tock CEO Nick Kokonas), Eleven Madison Park in New York City, Spoon and Stable in Minneapolis and McCrady's in Charleston. Gather on Broadway, a Green Bay restaurant and event space, also uses Tock.

CLOTHING xvii. Clothing of the Kurdish Jews
xvii. Clothing of the Kurdish Jews
The following description of the clothing worn since the beginning of this century by the Jews of Persian and Iraqi Kurdistan is based on field observations and interviews among the immigrant community in Israel and on a visit to northern Persia in 1974-79 (Shwartz-Beeri, pp. 71, 96, 147).
In general the Jews of Kurdistan wore the same clothes as the rest of the population (see xvi, above; xxi, below). The restrictions imposed on Jews in Islamic countries in earlier centuries continued to affect their dress in the present century. As the economic position of the Jews was often higher than that of most of their neighbors, they generally wore garments of better quality.
Fabrics. Everyday men's clothes were made from handwoven sheep's wool (amra). Suits for weddings and other festive occasions were of handwoven mohair (marʾaz). These suits were embellished with embroidery and worn for many years. According to informants, expensive fabrics for women's and children's clothes were also handmade of wild silk, from worms that feed on oak trees in the region (cf. Hyde). Everyday dresses were of cotton. After World War I factory-made textiles of natural fibers began to penetrate the region, mainly from Aleppo via Mosul, gradually replacing local handwoven fabrics. Since World War II synthetic fabrics have begun to replace natural ones in the markets.
Traditionally women made the clothing for themselves and their families. With the introduction of the sewing machine, however, male tailors took over this work.
Dress. The women's costume in Iraqi Kurdistan (Figure 65) was composed of four principal parts, which were generally uniform throughout the region, whereas such accessories as handkerchiefs, belts, and jackets differed according to district. The principal garments included, first, a long, wide underdress (sudra) with long sleeves flaring to a large triangle at each wrist. These triangles were folded and tied together behind the neck. A similar dress was found in Syria. Because of its fullness, this dress is suited to a woman's needs at every stage in her lifetime. Second was a short, close-fitting sleeveless waistcoat (helake). Over it a long, narrow coat (kurtak) with narrow sleeves was worn open in front. This outfit was completed by a pair of wide, long trousers worn under the dress. Similar components are known from a wide geographical area, ranging from Central Asia throughout Persia, Turkey, and the Middle East. Bright colors, especially violet and green, were preferred by young women, but older women wore black. On their heads women wore scarves tied in various ways, with pendant tassels.
In Persian Kurdistan the typical Jewish women's dress was fitted at the waist, in contrast to the normal bell-shaped style worn by Kurdish women (see xvi, above). The skirt was gathered, the bodice open in front with lapels and buttons, and the sleeves long and narrow. The fabric was cotton or silk, and the most characteristic color violet. The very wide trousers (šarwāla) were visible below the skirt hem. Over the dress a short velvet jacket striped with many colors was worn, along with a wide girdle of cotton or silk. In the southern part of the region older Jewish women still wore the traditional costume: dresses in dark colors without embroidery and square black cloaks over their shoulders. They also wore two kerchiefs, one with the ends tied behind and the second knotted round the forehead. In the northern area, on the other hand, it was customary to wear a sort of crown embroidered in gold thread, over which a transparent kerchief was draped to the shoulders and fastened under the chin with a metal brooch.
In Iraqi Kurdistan men wore a type of suit (šalla šappikta) consisting of two parts: a short jacket and wide trousers in the natural white, black, and brown colors of the wool (Figure 66). The same clothes were worn summer and winter, but in cold regions woolen mantles (ʿabayye) were added. Like the women men kept their heads covered, wearing caps around which scarves were wrapped as turbans. In town leather shoes were worn, but in the villages, if shoes were worn at all, they were homemade, with soles constructed from several layers of cloth and knitted or fabric uppers.
In Persian Kurdistan most Jewish men wore wide trousers only at home. A common type of belt was made of material woven in several colors 6 m long, which was wrapped repeatedly around the waist and interlaced in front. Outside the home the accepted costume was a suit of modern Western cut.

The Eloise MacDonald Playhouse
By Seth Rudetsky & Jack Plotnick
Concept created by Seth Rudetsky & Drew Geraci
Additional material by Drew Geraci
Directed by Ron Law
Rated PG13: Mature Language
Disaster! is a new musical straight from Broadway, featuring some of the most unforgettable songs of the '70s. "Knock on Wood," "Hooked on a Feeling," "Sky High," "I Am Woman" and "Hot Stuff" are just a few of the scintillating hits in this hilarious musical comedy with a book by three-time Emmy Award nominee and SiriusXM Broadway host, Seth Rudetsky, and Jack Plotnick.
It's 1979, and New York's hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. Also attending is a faded disco star, a sexy nightclub singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys who are looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman and a nun with a gambling addiction. What begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love that they've lost... or at least escape the killer rats.

New York, N.Y. – April 22nd – Ahead of time, the palace at 10 La Croisette starts preparing to welcome the biggest international celebrities and shine in the spotlight during Cannes Film Festival. These 12 days promise to be exceptional. Guests particularly appreciating the hotel's exceptional location directly opposite the Palais des Festivals.
But location isn't everything, and the excellent service, as well as the extremely high standards of comfort and quality which earned the establishment its international reputation, must remain consistent during these very special 12 days. This is why the luxury hotel's staff are already busying themselves with preparations, to ensure that each stay is an unforgettable experience. To satisfy every guest, the hotel's teams will be tripled to accommodate all requests, day and night.
Barrière are often the hotels of choice for Cannes Film Festival award winners. During the 68th edition in 2015, Jacques Audiard set off from Le Majestic to receive his Palme d'Or forDheepan, accompanied by actors Antonythasan Jesuthasan and Kalieaswari Srinivasan. Emmanuelle Bercot, winner of the Award for Best Actress for Maïwenn's film Mon Roi, Vincent Lindon, winner of the Award for Best Actor for The Measure of a Man; and Hou Hsiao-Hsien, winner of the Award for Best Director for The Assassin, also left their rooms to receive awards that day. During the 66th edition, the director Abdelatif Kechiche, who won the Palme d'Or for Blue is the warmest colour, stayed at Le Majestic's neighbour in Cannes, Le Gray d'Albion. In 2012, Michael Haneke was also to be seen there, still crowned in glory following his Palme d'Or win for Amour. The Barrière group certainly enjoys an enduring relationship with the art of cinema. In fact, last year Le Majestic decided to pay homage to the film Mélodie en Sous-Sol (Any Number Can Win), filmed in the heart of the hotel, by opening a new, exceptional 200m² Suite, the Mélodie Suite.
La Plage Barrière Le Majestic Cannes, in partnership with ADR Prof and just opposite the hotel, is a world-class location for days and nights spent in Cannes. During the last few years of the Festival, this 2,500m² space has truly become the location of choice for hosting the biggest events including the China Night and the 68th Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony, which brought together 1,500 guests.

These recent years have been a dream run for the Bhartiya Janta Party( BJP). From getting the standalone majority in the Loksabha Elections in 2014 to forming a government with 3/4 th majority in Uttar Pradesh; the party has come a long way indeed. And now it is on the upsurge even in the municipal elections conducted recently in Uttar Pradesh. These results are a proof of the strength of BJP as a party, which is not going to fade away anytime soon. After the loss in the 2009 loksabha elections, the man who revolutionized the BJP politics was none other than Modi himself. The results were path-breaking. The combination of Modi and Amit Shah is potent enough to ensnare the political scenario in India, and it is exactly what they are doing. These wins just depict how strong the ground base BJP has.
The leadership has made the people believe in their own set narrative, and as always seen in history, a good orator ( like Modi) and a visionary always beguiles the masses. He has led the people to believe in whatever he believes. He has made them speak what he speaks, no matter what it means or if it is right or wrong. He has instigated the people to think that the earlier governments weren't working for their welfare and that he will work as their servant around the clock for them. No other politician ever speaks such things or is able to move the crowd in recent times. These wins are a statement being made by the masses, that they believe in Modi. They think him as a saviour who will bring them out of misery. And no matter if it loksabha or assembly elections, the Modi Mania is always burgeoning over the fading narratives of other political parties. The pattern which we are seeing in Indian Politics today Is a proof that today, the biggest name in Indian Political Parties is BJP. In the lack of a powerful opposition, in which the other parties are searching for an anchor; these wins will continue to come. And these wins are the legitimisation of people's trust and believe in Modi. It is hardly about other things. Thus, in the coming years, the rise in might of the Bhartiya Janta Party seems to be continued.

Ghana striker Richmond Yiadom Boakye scored twice for Red Star Belgrade in their 3-0 victory against Maltese side Floriana in the preliminary round of Europa League and has expressed his gratitude to his teammates and supporters.
The 24-year-old opened the scoring from the spot before connecting a pass from his teammate to put his side three goals up ahead of the return fixture next week.
''I dedicate my goals to God because he gave me the strength to achieve them. He put me in the right place at the right time,'' Boakye told his club's website.
''Also, without my teammates I would surely not be able to give two goals and I dedicate the goals to them, as well as to all of our fans. Every goal that I score for my club, I celebrate in a special way, what comes to my mind at that moment, I do it.
''I like to dance, I love to play and now I will celebrate all my goals so. I like to entertain fans after a nice goal as it was in the Europa League game,'' he added.
Boakye, who scored 16 goals for Red Star last season, has earned 10 appearances with Ghana since making his debut in 2012 and boasts of three goals but last played for the Black Stars in 2015.

In June, Shadow released The Mountain Will Fall, his first full-length LP since 2011. "My method's always been to rethink some part of the process that's going to put me out of my comfort zone and force me to embrace a new way of getting from point A to point B," he told Rolling Stone.

Maui Information Guide
Maui /
Ni'ihau The Forbidden Isle
by Erik Blair
The island of Ni`ihau, despite being known as "The Forbidden Isle", which hints of tribal drums and tikis, it's really not that mysterious. It's called the forbidden isle because it has been privately owned since 1864 and only those invited are welcome.
See Niihau Map
Real Hawaiian
Ni`ihau is one of the most untouched of all the inhabited Hawaiian islands. At 17.5 miles from Kaua`i, Ni`ihau is the 7th largest of the inhabited Hawaiian islands. Today, there are only about 130 or so people living on the island where they still speak their own dialect of the Hawaiian language. In fact, the Hawaiian language is spoken almost exclusively on Ni`ihau.
One of the unique features of Ni`ihau is Lake Halali`i, Hawai`i's largest lake. Lake Halali`i is considered an intermittent lake or "playa" and is about 841 acres. There are no streams on the island so the water in the lake comes from rainfall.
Ni'ihau is also famous for the shell leis they have been handcrafting for generations. The leis are made of very small shells found all around the island in a time-consuming process that involves hours of collection by hand just to make a single lei. The unique style, tradition and rarity of these leis makes them highly sought after and expensive.
Many traditional Hawaiian chants mention Ni'ihau. As the story goes, Pele (the volcano goddess) called Ni'ihau home before she continued to move down the chain of islands to her current home on the island of Hawai'i.
Cultural tradition has been celebrated on Ni'ihau since the time when the islands were inhabited by the early Polynesians. Early on, Kahelelani became the first great ali'i (chief) of Ni'ihau, and his name is also the name of the shells used to make the Ni'ihau shell lei--"kahelelani shells".
An interesting historical note is that President Franklin D. Roosevelt once considered Ni'ihau as a possible location for the United Nations headquarters (1944).
NEW: Maui Photography Flights
Life on Ni 'ihau
Most of the residents of Ni`ihau live in or around the main settlement of Pu`uwai. There are no cars, no roads, no hotels, no power lines, no running water, no telephones and typically people there use bicycles or horses to get around.
I don't know about you, but this sure sounds like paradise to me! But before you decide to visit there's one important thing to remember: you can't. No visitors are allowed on the island without specific permission of the private owner and apparently many people have asked and been denied entry including Mick Jagger and a few other very wealthy people.

Goalkeepers: Don't Sleep on Villareal's Cani
For the keen awareness on display, the lightning-quick reaction, and the pure technical brilliance of the strike (from just about exactly midfield), we hereby nominate this goal by Jozy Altidore's Villareal teammate Ruben Gracia, aka Cani, as the best catch-the-keeper-off-his-line stunner of all time.
Behold:
Cani's flourish came in the 50th minute and gave the Yellow Submarine a 2-1 lead. They would go on to win 4-2.
Altidore dressed but did not play. His fellow New Jersey native Giuseppe Rossi started and went the full 90.

Rossi Cut from Italy World Cup Squad; Subotic Picked for Serbia
Italy coach Marcello Lippi announced his final 23-man roster for South Africa 2010 yesterday, and New Jersey–born Villareal striker Giuseppe Rossi was not on it.
Rossi, who graced the cover of ESPN The Magazine's May 17 issue (left), under the header, "Meet America's Best Hope at the World Cup …" (ouch), addressed the news on his Twitter account, writing,
"Didn't make it, but I have no regrets…worked hard and showed what I could do. I guess the coach had other plans. Good luck Italy."
Now, we're not ones to gloat, and Rossi is only 23, so he'll have another shot with the Azzurri, but man, this could have been a win-win for everyone involved: The U.S. needs a quality forward, and Rossi, whose Twitter account says "Hometown is always NJ" [!] needs a World Cup team.
This way, nobody wins.
In other what-might-have-been news, former U.S. youth international Neven Subotic did make Serbia's team, which will battle Germany, Ghana and Australia in a tough Group D.
With the U.S.'s needs at the back starkly exposed in recent friendlies, count Subotic as another player the Yanks could have used. And he was in the U.S. program for some time.
The rangy, sought-after defender has said that a falling out with U.S. under-20 coach Thomas Rongen contributed to his decision to leave U.S. Soccer, but yesterday, he told Ives Galarcep,
"The main point that I based my decision on was my heritage, origin and family. It was a step back to my birthplace. I was always different than the American kids because my parents were from Yugoslavia. I was raised a different way all my life, and even though my family and I learned to love the U.S., we were still Serbs."
Maybe so, but the fact that Subotic was in the U.S. system for years (he was called up to the senior national team just months after being cut from the 2007 U-20 World Cup team) makes his departure even tougher to take than that of Rossi, who made his intentions to play for Italy clear from the start.

People who read my governance blog (https://21stcenturygovernance.weebly.com/the-governance-corner) will be familiar with my series of posts on the lessons to be learned by school leaders from the actions and reactions of the current U.S. disrupter in chief in the White House.
This past week however opened up a new and significant series of events that are also instructional for not only administrators but teachers and parents as well. The separation of refugee children from their parents created a communications, logistical and human catastrophe on multiple levels. Based on a newly proclaimed "zero tolerance" policy for dealing with refugees entering the country illegally, the administration proudly proclaimed that arresting parents and seizing their children would create a "deterrent" that would prevent future violations of the laws and policies surrounding immigration. The result of taking this step, as we now all know, resulted in a human rights crisis and a public relations nightmare. And, even in backing down (while typically blaming everyone else), Trump and his leadership team demonstrated a remarkable degree of both tone deafness, and incompetence. Doubling down this morning, the President tweeted that all illegal refugees should be immediately deported to their native country without any legal remedy and offered to reunite families at the airport if the parents agreed to be shipped home without having the chance to make their case for asylum. Due process by damned!
So what are the lessons here for schools?
1. To begin with, zero tolerance disciplinary policies are invariably losers. In institutions that pride themselves on valuing the worth of each individual student, and that are committed to personalizing learning, the idea that "one size fits all" with respect to discipline runs counter to the expressed ethos of any school. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have clear expectations, and a range of possible consequences, but they have to be tailored to the individual and applied with care and with a clearly articulated rationale. Arbitrary punishments are most often seen as unfair and lead to an "us and them" attitude towards school climate rather than a collaborative "we".
2. The threat of punishment is a very weak deterrent. Most people in our society operate on the assumption that when they break the law they probably won't be caught and therefore the potential consequences of their actions are immaterial to them. I would hazard a guess that there isn't a car-driving adult reading this blog who doesn't speed on a regular basis, or roll through the occasional stop sign, or check messages when stopped at a light. The fines are often quite hefty for these actions but our normal response is that we are "unlucky" when we get caught rather than seeing ourselves as guilty of an offence. Kids are the same way. They are not being defiant, or reckless, or sneaky when they break the rules. They are just being kids. Getting caught gives us a chance to act as educators with respect to acceptable behaviour - not as judge, jury and executioner.
3. Due process is important! We are rightly outraged when people are incarcerated or deported without the benefit of a fair hearing and representation, but we violate the rights of our students that way every day. We isolate students from their supports, extract confessions, pressure them to testify against their peers, threaten to contact parents, and then mete out consequences in a kind of Principal's Court of Star Chamber. Like Donald Trump, we often convince ourselves that the ends (compliance, contrition, confession) justify the means. As the U.S. administration has found this week, fast tracking the process is fraught with peril and often results in unintended consequences for the school. In our case we have found that providing a student advocate (counsellor, trusted teacher, parent etc.), while making the process a little more convoluted and messy, usually results in a deeper student understanding of the issue at hand and results in a reduction in repeat offences.
4. Most parents, teachers and kids want a calm, positive and productive learning environment for everyone. Tom Bennett (@tombennett71), the leader of the researchEd movement worldwide, notes that "Low level disruption sounds cute, but it's kryptonite for any lesson. It normalizes rudeness, laziness, and grinds teachers down over weeks and months. It is no small issue. It is the most common reason for classroom behaviour to disintegrate." He is right! And the best way to counter low level disruption is by setting and enforcing clear guidelines, expectations, and classroom norms. Buy-in comes from consistency, and peer community acceptance, and not from Draconian enforcement measures. Unfortunately, driven by the debasing of discourse through social media, we have become a society of "low level disruptors" which is why the extremism of the past week, while repugnant, was not particularly shocking to anyone. Schools are the key place to reverse that trend by reinforcing civility and social norms and expectations and not by turning a blind eye and a deaf ear towards breaches of classroom community norms.
There are a lot of strident voices in the United States right now falling on either side of the refugee debate. Illegal immigrants are either seen as innocent victims of the system or potential gang members trying to jump the line in order to get easy access. Currently there is little middle ground consensus on how to effectively address what is clearly a problem without trampling on people on the way.
Schools are like that too. An administrator friend told me recently that they had developed a "zero tolerance" policy for skipping school. If a student accumulated so many undocumented absences that they were affecting her or his academics, they were to be suspended for a week. When I gently pointed out the absurdity of exclusion as a consequence (reward?) for skipping, she looked at me blankly and said "There have to be consequences for skipping beyond simply failing the course!"
I guess we still all have a long way to go!
What happened to the teaching part of teaching and learning?
This past week I had the pleasure of spending a day at Camp Jubilee, on Indian Arm north of Deep Cove, with our Grade 7s. A 20 minute boat ride takes you from the hustle and bustle of urban life into the edge of the backcountry and gives students the opportunity to try new experiences and test their limits in a safe and supportive learning environment. From high ropes to kayaking to archery to trekking through the bush our students were constantly challenged and rose to the occasion. Taking part in these activities, I was reminded of what a critical role teachers play in this learning process. One episode in particular stands out for me. One student, after completing his first climb up a cliff face, was sitting dejectedly on the prep bench. He was clearly upset and done with the process. Rather than letting him sit and watch his classmates, his teacher sat down with him and helped him work through the issue that was bothering him about his first climb. After a few minutes of quiet conversation and processing, the student agreed to give it another try. He would go on to scale the cliff five more times and by the end of the session, was beaming! Experiential learning is not just about the learner. The teacher plays an essential part in making it work.
One of the most popular oxymorons that currently dominates educational circles is the phrase "growth mindset". Given the fact that "mindset", by definition, is a fixed set of beliefs, then the flexibility and potential for change and growth would actually mean that a learner had no "set mind" or mindset about learning at all! The use of terms such as "mindset" or "grit" or "moxie" is just a trick for taking schools off of the hook, and placing the blame for a failure to connect squarely on the shoulders of the student. In actual fact, it is our job as educators to change attitudes about learning. What we are really talking about is nurturing a young mind to embrace new experiences and challenges, supported by a low-risk learning environment, and dedicated to student growth and continued success. It doesn't just happen. We educators and parents have to make it happen. We have to help students to take a systematic approach to learning. Sometimes it means focusing less on content and more on attitude. It challenges us to ask: How can we create a culture of success? How can we help students to see challenging themselves is not risky, but is actually interesting and rewarding?
One experience during this time still stands out for me. I was in a classroom in a university laboratory school in Hiroshima. At the front of the class was a senior mathematics teacher – back to the room – scribbling formulas on the whiteboard and muttering fairly incomprehensibly about what he was doing. At the back of the class were ten student teachers furiously copying down everything that he wrote on the board so that they could someday use it in their own classrooms. In between were forty Grade 12 students who were paying no attention whatsoever. There were lots of conversations going on, some outstandingly artistic doodles being created, and a number of people catching up on an obvious lack of sleep – but no-one was actually learning mathematics. In my post-class focus groups, I discovered two things. To begin with, the teacher felt that it was his responsibility to teach, but not to ensure that anyone actually learned. Secondly, the students felt that it was their responsibility to learn, but that the venue for that was not school, it was at home or at an after school cram session where they would spend hours self-teaching and practicing problems. It was this disconnect that the government was trying to address. The challenge was, that the issue was more cultural than pedagogical.
This is a pivotal moment in the teaching/learning process. We can just shrug and pat ourselves on the back for a 90% success rate, or we can double down and become learning detectives, committed to finding the piece of the puzzle that eludes us. The response to this challenge is a window into the culture of a school. All students have a unique approach to learning. Most fall within a broad range that is typically addressed in school, but many are outliers. They have great, untapped potential that needs to be coaxed to the surface, nurtured and reinforced. It is hard work, for both educator and learner, but the possibilities are endless. Part of our challenge is to make students understand this correlation between work and performance, between perseverance and progress.
In all of the superficial discussions about "mindsets" and "learning styles" there is still a fundamental truth. If an educator is unable to convince a student to open her or himself up to the possibility of learning then no amount of instruction will result in a positive and productive outcome.
This is the true art of teaching.

Weekend gaming -- mutant sprouts
A while back I posted a recommendation for a popular pencil-and-paper game:
4. Each dot can have at most three lines connecting it
I was thinking about sprouts the other day and a few variations occurred to me. I don't know if they're particularly playable or if they add any interesting aspects to the game, but if you can't put a half-baked idea in a blog, what's a blog for?
Variant 1 -- Free sprouts
Played as above but with the following addition: for the first k moves of a game with n dots, the player, after drawing a line, adds a new dot.
Topologically the result is a game with n+2k dots (keep k small) but with the complication that lines are being drawn without knowing exactly how those lines partition the surface. This is still a game of perfect information but the variation should make it more difficult to think a few moves ahead.
Variant 2 and 3 -- Scored sprouts
Each player starts with a separate sheet of paper and proceeds to connect the dot according to the standard rules. After no more lines are possible, the players score their graphs based on the number of dots.
Score = 6
In variant 1 the player with the highest score wins. In variant 2, the win goes to the lowest.

"[T]he numbers show that wage inflation is — literally — the least of the problems when it comes to university cost inflation"
The quote comes from Felix Salmon and it's part of an excellent discussion (nicely summarized at Rortybomb). If you're interested in either education or the economy (where student debt is becoming a major factor), you should read all of the posts, but if I had to pick one point it would be this unbelievable projection cited by Malcolm Harris:
And while the proportion of tenure-track teaching faculty has dwindled, the number of managers has skyrocketed in both relative and absolute terms. If current trends continue, the Department of Education estimates that by 2014 there will be more administrators than instructors at American four-year nonprofit colleges.

Dismembered Puppy Math
There's a class of simple math problem that most fourth graders will get right and most tenth graders will get wrong. You can come up with any number of examples but I've found this one makes the most lasting impact:
You have four kids and thirteen puppies. How many puppies does each kid get?
The fourth grader will correctly answer "three with one left over." More often than not the tenth grader will answer "three point two five." At this point, I would remind the student that no one should ever get a fourth of a puppy and therefore this is one of those times when it makes more sense to talk about division with remainders.
Asimov (and, I'm sure, many others) observed that mathematical progress often came down to finding ways to allow people to solve more problems with less thought. Mathematicians like Leibniz and Gauss come up with elegant notation that allow us to do much of our work mechanically. Ideally this frees us up to think about more important questions, but sometimes it lets students get good marks and high test scores in math without thinking at all.
Eventually the habit of answering math questions without thinking about them will lead to problems (it's difficult to mindlessly shamble through real analysis), but for K through 12 it can actually be an advantage not to spend to much time asking questions and dwelling on implications. This is particularly true for standardized tests which tend to be time-constrained and focus on problems that can be solved mechanically.
Of course, I'm not suggesting that movement reformers are in favor of the dismemberment of cute little puppies, kittens or any other loveable pets, but, as in other cases, I wonder if they've really thought this through.
The good and bad sides of charter schools in N'Orleans*
NPR gives us this good and nicely balanced report:
MELISSA BLOCK, host: This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block. New Orleans has become the center of an education revolution. More than 70 percent of public school students there attend a charter school and the number of kids remaining in traditional public schools is shrinking fast.
As this experiment moves forward, New Orleans has confronted questions that dog the charter school movement nationwide. Are charters welcoming the most challenging students, especially those in special education? NPR's Larry Abramson has the story.
LARRY ABRAMSON: Parents in post-Katrina New Orleans can pick and choose from a smorgasbord of schools with different approaches, different cultures. By many measures, this educational marketplace has improved student achievement, especially in the city's many charter schools. But has performance for some come at the expense of other students?
FISHER: Noah's been diagnosed with autism. He's also blind and he also has some feeding issues and developmentally delayed.
ABRAMSON: Kelly Fisher, Noah's mother, says when her family moved down to New Orleans in 2009, they expected Noah would need the same kind of intensive help that he got at his old school in Indiana. For help in finding the right school, they turned to the Recovery School District, the state-run agency that is the closest thing New Orleans has to a traditional district.
FISHER: Because I came from a traditional program, I thought, oh, that's my local special ed coordinator. That's the person that knows what's in the city and can direct me towards the schools that would be best for Noah.
ABRAMSON: But the Fishers say New Orleans' open choice system left them totally on their own when it came to finding a school for Noah. In theory, they could find any charter they wanted, but the best charters are full, so they ended up on waiting lists. Father Bob Fisher says the central district seemed powerless.
ROBERT FISHER: The director was just scrambling around making phone calls. Actually, at one point, ran out in the hallway and grabbed somebody and said, hey, do you have an opening at your school?
ABRAMSON: The Fishers say they kept looking for a school that could help Noah. Finally, they ended up at Lafayette Academy, a charter school.
DANIEL THOMAS: Where is that button?
(SOUNDBITE OF BEEP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE #1: It's 9:52 a.m.
ABRAMSON: Here, Noah has a full time aide named Daniel Thomas. He and Noah are taking a break from class, walking outside on a nice fall day.
THOMAS: Sweep your cane. There's a big crack in the sidewalk.
FISHER: (Singing) Did she ask you to come in, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
ABRAMSON: At Lafayette, the Fishers say Noah has the help he needs. They suspect that other schools simply did not want to spend the money needed to hire an aide and were not interested in accommodating Noah. Lafayette Principal Mickey Landry admits it is challenging for any school to cover the costs of special ed.
MICKEY LANDRY: The state tops out its financing for special needs students at about $18,000 a year, but some students cost us significantly more than that, sometimes as much as $40,000.
ABRAMSON: You can't say, sorry, we can only provide $18,000 worth of services?
LANDRY: Oh, that's right. We do whatever we have to do for a child. That's right.
ABRAMSON: Landry says he simply found a way to give Noah the support he needs. According to many parents, other schools do not work as hard to follow the law, which says all schools must be open to all students. The Fishers have joined a class action lawsuit charging that the New Orleans school system excludes special ed students.
Eden Heilman, a staff attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center, is suing the Louisiana Department of Education, which set up the post-Katrina school system.
EDEN HEILMAN: The state kind of abandoned their responsibilities to students with disabilities in New Orleans. I mean, in any other school district where, for example, you have one single district, you have to do things like monitoring and compliance reviews.
ABRAMSON: But Superintendent John White says that's changing. White just took over as superintendent for the Recovery School District a few months ago. He points out that test scores for special education have improved dramatically since Katrina and that these children were terribly neglected before the storm.
But he admits those scores are still much lower than they should be. White says it is tough for his agency to oversee a system of independent schools.
JOHN WHITE: I think it's fair to say that a market system always has the challenges of how do we ensure that the most vulnerable, the most traditionally underserved are served well in that system?
ABRAMSON: This is KIPP New Orleans Leadership Primary School in the city's French Quarter. The special ed enrollment here is about nine percent, similar to the city average. KIPP has posted some of the most impressive gains in the city. The school says its mission includes kids like eight year old Benjamin Camp.
BENJAMIN CAMP: Hi, Mom. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
ABRAMSON: Benjamin is sweet, but he's had behavior problems for years and was recently diagnosed with autism. His grandmother, Carmella Camp, says some nursery schools turned Benjamin away as too challenging, but this charter school never suggested he go anywhere else.
CARMELLA CAMP: Never, never, never, ever. Still haven't heard it. He was in a few - two schools and they say they couldn't handle him, you know.
ABRAMSON: But KIPP has also faced charges that it pushes some students out. The school has a firm discipline policy that can be tough for some students to follow. Families must agree to a commitment to excellence, which includes getting their kids to school on time and becoming part of the education process.
Rhonda Aluise, executive director of KIPP New Orleans, insists this approach doesn't exclude anyone.
RHONDA ALUISE: So there is not this requirement or if you come to KIPP, you must do this. This is - here's our vision for what a school can do. Come be a part of this with us.
ABRAMSON: Whatever happens with the New Orleans lawsuit, charter groups will have to wrestle with the continuing perception that they are not open to all. Larry Abramson, NPR News.

The worst example of curriculum dead wood?
One of the first things that hit me when I started teaching high school math was how much material there was to cover. There was no slack, no real time to slow down when students were having trouble. The most annoying part, though, was the number of topics that could easily have been cut, thus giving the students the time to master the important skills and concepts.
The example that really stuck with me was synthetic division, a more concise but less intuitive way of performing polynomial long division. Both of these topics are pretty much useless in daily life but polynomial long division does, at least, give the student some insight into the relationship between polynomials and familiar base-ten numbers. Synthetic division has no such value; it's just a faster but less interesting way of doing something you'll never have to do.
I started asking hardcore math people -- mathematicians, statisticians, physicists, rocket scientists*-- if they'd ever used synthetic division. By an overwhelming margin, the answer I got was "what's synthetic division?" Not only did they not need it; it made so little impression that they forgot ever learning it.
Which bring us to this passage from a recent Dana Goldstein post (discussed earlier):
The problem, according to [David] Coleman, is that American curriculum standards have traditionally been written by committees whose members advocate for their pet pedagogical theories, such as traditional vs. reform math.
Except, of course, that's not what happened here. As was the case with so many topics in mathematics, synthetic division remained in the curriculum because no one who knew what was going on had bothered to look that closely. Coleman has a clever narrative, but it doesn't fit the facts all that well.
Now I have a request for all the math geeks in the audience. Since we need to pare down the curriculum, what you choose to cut? Specifically, what mathematical topics that you learned in school can future generations do without?
* Literal rocket scientists -- JPL's just down the road.
Also posted in a slightly different form at Observational Epidemiology.
"I am not now and have never been a constructionist"
(This post also appears at Observational Epidemiology.)
After my last post thought I should run this titular disclaimer. For those of you not up on the subject, here's a definition from the well-written Wikipedia entry on the subject:
Constructivist teaching is based on constructivist learning theory. This theoretical framework holds that learning always builds upon knowledge that a student already knows; this prior knowledge is called a schema. Because all learning is filtered through pre-existing schemata, constructivists suggest that learning is more effective when a student is actively engaged in the learning process rather than attempting to receive knowledge passively. A wide variety of methods claim to be based on constructivist learning theory. Most of these methods rely on some form of guided discovery where the teacher avoids most direct instruction and attempts to lead the student through questions and activities to discover, discuss, appreciate and verbalize the new knowledge.
Don't get me wrong. For the right topic, executed the right way with the right teacher and class, this can be a great, wonderful, spectacular and really good approach to education. Unfortunately, education reformers (particularly the current crop), are not good at conditional problems. They tend instead to fall into the new tool camp (you know the saying, "to a man with a new hammer, the whole world is a nail.").
Worse yet, (and I'm afraid there's no nice way to say this) many of the educational theorists don't have a firm grasp on the subjects they are working with. This is never more plain than in constructionist science classes that almost entirely eschew lectures and traditional reading assignments and instead have the students spend their time conducting paint-by-numbers experiments, recording the results and performing a few simple calculations.
To most laymen, that's what science is: stuff you do while wearing a lab coat. Most people don't associate science with forming hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing results and writing papers and, based on my limited but first hand experience, many science educators don't give those things much thought either.
The shining exception to the those-who-can't-teach-teach-teachers rule is George Polya. Though best known as an educational theorist, Polya was a major Twentieth Century mathematician (among his other claims to fame, he coined the term "central limit theorem") so he certainly fell in the those-who-can camp.
But it it important to note that Polya advocated guided discovery specifically as a way of teaching the problem solving process. I suspect that when it came to simply acquiring information, he would have told his students to go home and read their textbooks.

Odet Tsaturyan
Revision as of 12:36, 6 October 2009 by Ani Muradyan (talk | contribs)
Odet Tsaturyan was an Armenian living in California, Glendale area.
On 09 September 2005, Tsaturyan, by then 24 years old, was found dead in the trunk of her boyfriend's car in Azusa.
Her car Honda Accord was found on 13 September 2005 by a patrolling Glendale police officer at 4 p.m. in the 600 block of Paula Avenue near the Walt Disney Imagineering buildings. No such incident was recorded in that neighborhood for decade before that. Tsaturyan's missing boyfriend, Artur Khanzadyan, by then 24, was considered only a "person of interest" and suspect in the case.
Khanzadyan and Tsaturyan both left their parents' homes on Sept. 6 and were reported missing. Tsaturyan never arrived at a party where she was expected that evening.
According to Tsaturyan's family Khanzadyan had been violent with her, and they tried to keep her away from him.
By then Khanzadyan's father issued a plea for his son to turn himself in, saying his son is not violent. Khanzadyan had no criminal record, before that.
