I dunno. Maybe you have to be a parent to be seismically moved by a movie like LION. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it. How could you not enjoy every moment Sunny Pawar is on screen. How can a little kid have such screen presence? Dev Patel is amazing. He is such a great actor and does not get the credit or the roles he deserves.
In case you don't know, LION is the true story of Saroo Brierley. The 5-year-old Saroo gets separated from his brother at a train station in India. He climbs onto a train which then whisks him to Calcutta. He then spends a year or so living on the streets before he is sent to something like an orphanage. Eventually he is adopted by an Australian couple (Nicole Kidman and David Wenham). He lives a great life in Tasmania, but as he moves into adulthood he cannot forget his family in India, so he uses Google Maps to try to find the train station where he got lost. After years, he finally finds it and is eventually reunited with his mother and younger sister. I don't know, the use of technology to find the village where he grew up made the whole exercise a little sterile for me. Hard to dramatize a guy sitting at a computer doing Google searches. But the reunions and his relationship with his adoptive family are compelling as are young Saroo's "adventures" in Calcutta.
On the whole LION is an above average movie that tells a moving story. But it could have been just a bit more.

Elizabeth Warren's education plan would massively increase funding and her wealth tax would pay for it
TOPICS:andeducationElizabethForfundingherincreasemassivelyPayplantaxWarren'swealthwould
Posted By: Loknath Das October 22, 2019
Presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Monday released an education plan that aims to quadruple public education funding with a focus on allocating more resources to lower-income students and increasing teacher pay.
Warren's plan, which her campaign says would be paid for by her proposed 2% wealth tax on people whose net worth is more than $50 million, focuses on desegregation, affordability and expansion into programs for students with special needs.
A $450 billion infusion into the system over the next decade will encourage schools to use it in part to pay teachers a higher salary and close the educator pay gap, according to her campaign. The funding can also go toward paying for supplies and resources so teachers don't have to pay extra out-of-pocket costs.
In its entirety, her education proposal calls for $800 billion more in funding, which would account for the remaining balance of the revenue she says her wealth tax will raise, The Wall Street Journal reported. She has also envisioned using the wealth tax's proceeds to pay for tuition-free public college education, abolishing student debt and a universal child-care program.
Warren's campaign estimates her wealth tax, which rises to 3% on net worth of $1 billion and above, will raise $2.75 trillion over 10 years.
Warren said her administration would cover up to 40% of any additional costs for educating students with disabilities, the amount that Congress originally intended for coverage when it first proposed this policy in 1975.
Other proposals include:
"Excellence grants" of $100 billion that will go toward expanding resources and activities for students, with the goal of "25,000 public schools transition[ing] to the community school framework by 2030."
A $50 billion investment into school infrastructure, but there's no indication of whether the money will be spread out over a period of time or given in one lump sum.
Housing grants of $10 billion to build parks and schools if cities and states eliminate restrictive zoning laws.
A $25 billion fund for health-care access and expanding service at existing clinics.
Warren also took a shot at Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for not having a background in public education. The candidate said her Education secretary would in fact have such a background.
The plan from the Massachusetts senator also takes aim at charter schools. She would end federal funding for the expansion of charter schools and ban for-profit charters.
Warren's plan has received support from teachers union the National Education Association.

Q: Application started via cronjob succesfully but stops after sometime. No such issues when started manually I have a filebeat instance running in one of my linux servers.
I have written a bash script to check if filebeat is running and if not restart it.
This bashscript is being invoked via crontab. It starts smoothly without any issue. But within a few minutes it stops.
At the same time if I manually run this script filebeat starts and runs for ages.
Can anybody guide me why am i getting such weird behaviour from crontab.
Thanks in advance.

View Full Version : Cool Unidentified Astronomical Sight.
Hey guys, this is my first post as I have a question about something me and my friend saw a couple of weeks ago.
We were driving and came around a corner near a farm [yes there's always a farm involved, isn't there?] and as we were stopped at the corner all of a sudden there was like a bright green flash in the sky which then shot towards the ground. Now I aint no believer but summin tells me there's UFO's around these parts!
Haha just kidding, the acronym was never even mentioned during the event. It was more like, Hey that was a really cool thing we just saw! Some sort of thing we cannot explain as we lack any sort of real knowledge when it comes to astornomical events. But did I mention how cool it was?
So any ideas on what it could have been? Is this an astronomical event or is it more likely it was an earthly happening, the effects of some random thing on Earth we just happened to see.
Any ideas/input are much appreciated!
dave: "all of a sudden there was like a bright green flash in the sky which then shot towards the ground. "
-- Sounds similar to something I saw in the summer of 1939 when I was a senior in high school and an avid amateur astronomer. What I saw was a pale greenish object, not dazzlingly bright but bright enough to catch my attention while I was already looking at the sky. It moved across the sky at speed that would be moderate for a meteor My guess then, and still is, is that what I saw was a bolide. I suspect that you saw a a type of bolide. There seems to be no universal agreement on the physical nature of a bolide. One suggestion is that one type might be an icy comet. I believe that that definitiion could have fitted what I saw and could fit what you saw. If it was an icy comet, not moving very fast, it could have appeared to have a circular disk and fade away as it evaporated. That's only a guess.

VIRTUAL Avon Women's Race Berlin: A grey outlook turned pink
That was simply too much woman power for the storm fronts Jodocus and Kai. The two low-pressure areas simply didn't stand a chance against the concentrated joy of movement of the participants of the VIRTUAL Avon Women's Race from May 13-16, 2021. Even though the two fellows kept nagging with bad weather on these days, thousands of female athletes grabbed their pink adidas event shirts anyway and threw them to the wind. They turned a grey forecast to pink! Under the #virtualstrongwomen, posts like "Soaking wet but totally happy." were seen frequently on social media. Your positive mood was overwhelming and confirmed once again how much we can rely on the community. Thank you for that! If everyone continues with such confidence, we will undoubtedly be back together at the starting lines at our events soon, but more on that below.
1. Register now for the Women´s Race Berlin 2022
2. It´s worth a visit!
3. RUN FOT THE OCEANS IS BACK
4. Many thanks to all Charity Teams
Register now for the Berlin Women's Race 2022
In total, over 7,000 participants participated in the VIRTUAL Avon Women's Race Berlin. You could read about female athletes walking, strolling and running distances ranging from a few hundred meters to many kilometers all over social media. But it wasn't about best times and distances, it was about joining together for a good cause. That this was more than successful is confirmed by the countless group photos with participants from all over Europe, from Finland to Hungary. In addition, there were 44 charity teams, more than ever before. A total of 49,022 euros in donations were currently generated for the Berlin Cancer Society (Berliner Krebsgesellschaft, BKG) for the fight against breast cancer. The previous total donation amount of 49,022 euros (resulting from 24,022 euros from the charity teams and 25,000 euros as donations from the registration fees, including the generous rounding up by Avon). The donations will go towards the BKG hardship funds and a new counselling centre in Kreuzberg that provides intercultural services. Let's keep it up and keep on doing good. In this spirit, you can register here for next year's Women's Race Berlin. Registering early means you get to be happy sooner. By the way, starting in 2022, the MikaTag for timekeeping at the Berlin Women's Race will be included in the participation fee, and the ChampionChip will no longer be used. Furthermore, a hybrid solution with virtual participation is being planned for the Women's Race Berlin in 2022.
It's worth a visit!It'orth a
Avon informs:
Sport is lifestyle, so is make-up! Because at Avon we believe that a great lipstick is more than just a little colour on the face. It's an expression of our personality and simply puts us in a good mood. Always. That's why all participants of the VIRTUAL Avon Women's Race Berlin (and all other beauty fans) can find the perfect lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, blusher and much more in our online shop at www.avon.de. It's worth a visit! Or would you like to become part of Avon and inspire others with exceptional cosmetics? Then start out as an independent Avon Beauty-Representative. All important information can be found here: www.avon-karriere.de
RUN FOR THE OCEANS IS BACK
We believe that, through sport, we have the power to change lives. Since 2017, over 3 million people have laced up and taken a stand for the oceans. You too can become part of this global movement. From May 28 - June 8, for every km you run, jog, walk or wheelchair, adidas and Parley's global clean up network will remove the equivalent weight of 10 plastic bottles (up to 500,000 pounds) from beaches, islands and coastal communities. Sign up for Run For The Oceans today.
Many thanks to all Charity Teams
Berliner Krebsgesellschaft informs:
44 Charity Teams have shown team spirit for breast cancer patients in Berlin at the VIRTUAL Avon Women's Run. Together they have raised currently 24,022 euros from friends, colleagues and family. "The sense of community in a Charity Team is just great," says Diana from the Roadrunners. "The good you do feels even bigger." With the donations, the Berlin Cancer Society provides support for women who have experienced financial hardship as a result of the disease. In addition, they go towards intercultural breast cancer counselling. Many thanks to all the charity teams for their great commitment! Here you can still contribute with a donation and get more information: www.berliner-krebsgesellschaft.de/frauenlauf

One Destination in Common: The Bronx
By David Gonzalez Nov. 14, 2011 Nov. 14, 2011
The Bronx is no stranger to the Dutch. After all, they employed the Swedish seafarer Jonas Bronck, who in 1639 — along with his Dutch wife — settled the area that would adopt his name. Despite that long history, some of Chantal Heijnen's friends in Amsterdam thought it was odd she chose to live there when they moved to New York in 2008.
Granted, she and her husband, Bart Van Melik, didn't settle into a small estate or even a large apartment. They took up residence in one room of a five-room flat, living in a poor neighborhood of West Indian, Latin American and Asian immigrants. Yet they felt welcomed and connected with their neighbors, a relationship Ms. Heijnen has documented in her photographic series "Bronxites."
She has carefully rendered her adopted borough in a series of softly lighted portraits with warm, rich tones. The paint-encrusted walls and plastic-covered furniture are familiar to anyone who has spent time in the area where she began her portrait series, which is known as University Heights, just south of Fordham Road. So, too, are the faces — alternately weary, serene or happy.
"My European friends think, of course, it's weird," Ms. Heijnen said. "They are amazed we are willing to live this community life, four people sharing an apartment. But we're grateful to be able to stay in that apartment. It's a blessing."
Chantal Heijnen Myrta and Victor. Evelyn Place, 2008.
A chance friendship in Kenya in 1994 set the chain of events that resulted in her moving to New York 14 years later. Ms. Heijnen had graduated from high school and participated in an exchange program in which Dutch youths spent time in Africa. While there she met Bart – whom she would later marry – and Samson Kariuki, a youth they invited back to visit them in the Netherlands.
While he was in the Netherlands, Samson went online and landed a job as a camp counselor in the United States. Ms Heijnen — who became a social worker with immigrants and refugees — visited him in the States. In 1999, she and Bart came to mark the millennium with Samson, who by then was living in the University Heights apartment presided over Gilbert Reid, a paterfamilias of sorts.
"Samson gave us $100 and said, 'Here, go have some fun,' which shocked us," Ms. Heijnen said. "He never had money before. He had come from a very poor family in Nairobi."
She learned that Samson had fallen in with some other African immigrants who were using his name to cash fraudulent checks. He pleaded with the couple to not tell Gil. Then he went off to Boston on Dec. 30 for a final score.
He never returned.
She and Bart learned months later that he had been arrested. He served time in the States and was deported back to Kenya. In the meantime, Ms. Heijnen and her husband became friends with Gil, who would host them on their regular three-week vacations in the Bronx. He introduced her to other friends who took her around the area to do portraits.
In 2008, after she lost her job working with refugees, she and her husband left the Netherlands and moved permanently into Gil's apartment. She went to work as a freelance photographer for Dutch clients, while her husband taught meditation to incarcerated youths.
Given her background, she initially was drawn to photographing immigrants. But the more time she spent on the project and went to nearby neighborhoods, the more she began to look at them differently. No matter where they were born — from the Yemeni deli owner or the Chinese takeout cook, to the retired vets by the basketball court or the crossing guard with his boom box — they all had one destination in common.
They were Bronxites.
"It became more about daily life in the Bronx," she said. "I don't think the immigrant story is the most important story now. Now I want to give an inside out view of the Bronx. It gets a little more personal."
Her neighborhood is still rough and tumble. Yet she finds it like a small town, where people know and look out for one another.
"People are welcoming," she said. "Maybe that's because there are a lot of immigrants there. We're from a different place too, and we're accepted. There's no gentrification at all. When I walk in Harlem or Bed-Stuy, where there is gentrification, I feel less welcome than I do in the Bronx. In the Bronx, I never feel looked down upon because I'm white. People are more mellow."

Unwelcome Lawyers — Guest Post by Smaran Shetty
On November 23, 2014 By Smaran Shetty In Uncategorized
A natural assumption regarding any
judicial system that seeks to resolve legal disputes, is that lawyers would be
permitted to participate in the adjudicatory process, and assist the parties
they represent. This assumption is largely codified in Section 30 of the Advocates Act,
1961, which empowers advocates who fulfill the requirements for enrollment
under that Act, to appear before courts and tribunals in India. Despite this
general authorization for lawyers to appear before judicial fora, there are
numerous instances of statutory exclusion of legal practioners. This exclusion
varies from a complete ban on advocates appearing in a forum, to a more
conditional exclusion where lawyers may only represent parties to a dispute
with the prior permission of the court and/or the opposing side.
In this post I seek to explore this
curious exclusion, and demonstrate that such exclusions are interesting, in
that they perceive lawyering as detrimental to the legal process, and thereby
exclude a key element of the legal process. In understanding the nature and
extent of this exclusion, I do not make any normative claims regarding the
justification of such exclusion as apparently aiding in the speedy resolution
of these disputes, or whether lawyers should be given a carte blanche to appear before all kinds of fora, despite the
peculiar needs of sensitive legal disputes.
As previously stated, Section 30 of the
Advocates Act authorizes lawyers who fulfill the requirements of enrollment,
and whose names appears on state rolls, to appear and practice before courts
and tribunals in India. Curiously, despite the Advocates Act being enacted in
1961, Section 30 was only notified in 2011, and formally took effect from 15
June 2011. The omission to notify Section 30 has been noted in a number of
judicial decisions, and culminated in the Supreme Court's decision in Aeltemesh
Rein, Advocate, Supreme Court of India v. Union of India, where the
court issued a writ of mandamus directing the Central Government to consider
whether the said section should be brought into force within a period of six
months from the date of the decision. A copy of the belated notification can be
found here,
and the relevant news reports here
and here.
Exceptions to the general rule contained
in Section 30 can be found in range of statutory enactments. For instance, Section 36(4) of the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947 allows lawyers to appear before Labour Courts, Labour
Tribunal or the National Tribunal (as the case maybe), only when the prior
consent of the opposing side as well as of the Court itself, is sought and
granted. The apparent conflict between Section 30 and Section 36(4) was
considered in Pradip Port Trust v. Their Workmen.
Even though Section 30 had not been notified at the time of this decision, the
court observed that Section 36(4) of the Industrial Disputes Act was enacted
for the benefit of workmen, and to ensure the speedy resolution of labour and
industrial disputes. It was also noted that since the Industrial Disputes Act was
a specialized statute, intended to secure the rights of a determinate class, it
could reasonably depart from the general rule contained in the Advocates Act. Importantly,
the court noted that the scope of Section 36(4) and 30 should not be resolved
bearing in mind the apparent rights of lawyers, but the interests of the actual
parties to the labour dispute.
A similar exclusion is contained in the
Family Courts Act, 1984, which creates specialized Courts for the resolution of
family disputes. Section 13
only allows lawyers to appear before family courts, where leave of the court
has been applied for and granted by the court. The proviso to Section 13
empowers the Family Court to appoint a lawyer as amicus curiae, where the court considers such an appointment as
being necessary. Provisions of the Family Court Act, including Section 13, were
the subject of an unsuccessful constitutional challenge before the Andhra
Pradesh High Court in R. Durga Prasad v. Union of India.
Section 13, was justified on the grounds that the bar on lawyers appearing in
family disputes was not absolute, and where leave of the court was applied for
and granted, lawyers could plead the case of their clients, and thereby assist
in the resolution of the dispute. A subsequent decision of the Kerala High
Court in C.P. Saji v. Union of India,
observes that the exclusion in Section 13 has now become "redundant" in view of
the recent notification of Section 30.
A more recent instance of exclusion of
lawyers can be found in the Prevention
of Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act. Rule
7(6) notified pursuant to Section 11, prohibits any party to a sexual
harassment complaint to be assisted by a lawyer before the Internal Complaints
Commission. This prohibition mirrors the exclusion of lawyers from attending
and assisting in internal departmental enquires. It bears noting however, that
the exclusion contained in Rule 7(6) is characteristically different from the
exclusions under the Industrial Disputes Act and Family Courts Act
respectively. In the latter, the exclusion of lawyers operates within judicial fora
hearing a legal dispute, while in the case of the former, the exclusion
operates at the stage of the Internal Complaints Committee or Local Complaints
Committee. These internal committees although vested with the power of civil
court for the purposes of their efficient functioning, are not strictly
speaking judicial fora.
Although the rationale for these
exclusions vary in their context, they are seemingly justified on the premise
that certain forms of lawyering can be detrimental to, and impede, the speedy
resolution of sensitive legal disputes. These provisions therefore serve to
exclude a key actor in the legal process, in the hope that their absence, or in
some cases, permissive presence, would assist the court in resolving a claim
bought by the person preferring such a legal action. It should therefore serve
as a reminder of the kind of lawyering, lawyers sometime adopt while assisting
their clients. Dilatory tactics, unfair representation and a host of other
questionable practices, may serve the immediate needs of their clients, but
seriously attack the efficacy of any dispute resolution process. These exclusions
then, must form part of an important consideration while contemplating ethical
and just means of advocacy, and alert lawyers to realities of their own
exclusion.
Review of Leila Seth's New Book
Very informative piece. Closely related to exclusion of legal representation through counsel is the issue of `oral' hearing. Courts across common law jurisdictions seem to have adopted procedural rules giving judges the power to decide if a case ought to be heard orally or not. The level of discretion differs across jurisdictions, but the power is there. In the Indian context it seems that right to hearing is understood as right to 'oral' hearing. Wondering if you may have come across any Indian law/rule etc which limits oral hearing?

5 Things to Know About the Yellowjackets Volleyball Team
The RCTC volleyball team may have just begun practicing, but Head Coach Amber Zitzow is already beaming when it comes to this year's squad. It might be a younger team, but what they lack in experience they make up in talent. Read below to see what you can expect from the volleyball team this season.
Freshmen.
It's a young team
There are 13 players on the team, with just three of them returning sophomores. But Zitzow says the team is "very athletic and talented. Tons and tons of potential." A lot of the freshmen are from southeastern Minnesota. And if you don't know much about volleyball in this region, it means they've all experienced a high level of play.
There is also more depth this year. Last year the squad was filled out with just nine players.
The aim is to revisit the national stage
Rochester will host the national tournament in November, and Zitzow wants her team there. RCTC won the national tournament in 2015, and wouldn't mind repeating that venture.
They play quickly
"We like to run a fast temp. We like to be aggressive out of system, not just pass the ball over."
That's how Zitzow explains the play style her team will employ this season. For anyone who has watched a Yellowjackets match, you know you can expect a blistering match.
It's all about team chemistry
"A lot of it (doing well) has to do with team chemistry, if they belive in the system you're running. This group just gets along really well," even if only together for three days at this point.
Sophomores.
There are more coaches this year
Tori Johnson has been a longtime assistant of Zitzow's, but this year there are two other assistant coaches to help train and ready the squad.
Rocky Xiong and Chanda Riedemann are both on the roster this year.
"It helps having more coaches in the gym. They can hit at the ladies, run the drills, and I can just observe instead of being the one hitting at them. As many eyes as you can get and opinions – I like the coaches to tell me what they think. I want them to be honest with me."
Bonus point: RCTC volleyball is a family
"It creates a long lasting bond. A lot of alumni come back to help at matches and practices. They ask me to be their references when they're coaching a team."

Kyle Korver nearing NBA record for three-pointers made in consecutive games
By Brett PollakoffNov 25, 2013, 9:01 PM EST
Kyle Korver has always been known as one of the league's more consistent three-point shooters throughout his NBA career.
Now in his 12th season, he seems to be getting better with age.
Korver is shooting 52.9 percent from three-point distance so far this season, after finishing at 45.7 percent last year, which was good enough for second overall behind Jose Calderon.
But beyond the high percentage, Korver's consistency is something to be marveled at. And he's approaching an NBA record that will reflect it if he can simply hit a single three-point shot in each of his next two games.
From Jeff Zilgitt of USA Today:
Korver has made a three-pointer in 87 consecutive regular-season games and he's two games and two three-pointers shy of tying Dana Barros' record of 89 set in the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons. …
Korver can tie Barros with a three-pointer Tuesday against the Orlando Magic and another Wednesday at the Houston Rockets. He can break the record Friday at home against the Dallas Mavericks. …
"One of the things that is unnoticed is how hard he works when he's on the court to find open spots," Ferry told USA TODAY Sports. "He's in tremendous physical condition. He's a better athlete than people understand. He can really run. That allows him to get to spots and to find openings."
SportVu has the data to prove it. Korver is among the league leaders is distance traveled (34.4 miles) and distance traveled per 48 minutes (3.5 miles).
The fact that everyone knows Korver is looking for the three and yet he still manages to get good open looks is a testament to his work ethic, as well as his quick release and ability to knock down shots that are contested at a very high percentage.
The game's best players and number one options on their respective teams would never be able to secure a record like this, considering all the attention the defense pays them to make other players step up on a nightly basis. It takes a player like Korver to be able to get loose on the perimeter consistently to have a shot at it, but the skill required to achieve it still makes it an extremely impressive accomplishment.


(TOWNSHIP OF GUELPH-ERAMOSA, ON) - On Saturday March 16, 2019 just after midnight the Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a single motor vehicle collision on the Second Line near Wellington Road 51 in Guelph-Eramosa Township.
Officers attended the scene and observed a vehicle in the ditch with heavy frontend damage. While speaking with the female driver, who was uninjured as a result of the collision, officers determined that her ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol. She was arrested and brought to a local OPP Operations Centre for further testing.
Juanda TRIPP, 65-years-old of Guelph has been charged with Impaired Operation and Impaired Operation - 80 Plus contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada.


If you're shopping for your next vehicle, you're almost certainly asking the question: new or used? Each option is valid and beneficial in its own way. Here are the basic upsides to both, which will hopefully help you decide whether you want to look for a new or used car at Union Park Honda.
Undamaged, untouched, and never driven, new cars provide the ultimate peace of mind for shoppers. These cars come straight from the manufacturer and feature all of the newest features, safety tools, and efficiency. When you buy new, you can customize your purchase and get exactly what you want. Plus, new cars come with warranties that provide additional confidence in the purchase.
However, new cars are pricier than used options, which may not always be worth it for those shopping on a budget.
The biggest benefit to the used car is the savings. A used car that's just a year or two old may save you 20 percent or more off of its new-car price tag. In paying a lower price on the purchase you'll also save money on taxes, insurance, and registration. Because you'll be paying less, you can also find a nicer car for your budget.
While some people fear that used cars won't be as reliable, there are actually many ways to verify a car's condition, like vehicle history reports. If you're willing to put in the extra work and research to check in on a vehicle's condition and history, used can be a great way to go and save some money.
Interested in a new or used vehicle? Stop by Union Park Honda today.

Exploration through tactile play is an important part of childhood. My kids especially love it when I bring out the play dough. They roll and shape it into interesting forms and like the way it feels when they squish and knead it between their fingers. Playing with dough improves motor skills and encourages creativity.
Recently, thanks to an opportunity provided by Team Mom, we had the chance to try a new kind of moldable dough called Moon Dough. It is a very lightweight, dry and crumbly dough that easily compresses into shapes. And, according to the manufacturer, it never dries out, is hypo-allergenic, and is wheat-free.
We received the Moon Dough Barn product to test and review. The large plastic barn is actually a crank driven toy that molds the dough into four different animal shapes: cow, sheep, horse or chicken. The barn requires some minor assembly before kids can play with it.
The lightweight dough is a very different product to work with than your typical play dough and feels really interesting to squish and compress. My kids had fun trying to form the Moon Dough into balls, placing it into the hay and bale molds and liked crumbling it into bits. They also really, really enjoyed pressing the dough into the top compartment of the barn and turning the crank to create the various animals one by one. Oftentimes they were in such a hurry to make an animal that they didn't put enough dough into the mold compartment and didn't fully compress it before cranking so they would end up with half-formed animals.
This is a fairly messy activity so I decided to let the kids play with the dough outside to simplify clean up. The dough does end up everywhere because it is so lightweight and it tracks easily. I think that adult supervision is necessary for kids who use this product. Care needs to be taken if you don't want the different dough colors to mix. In my opinion the play mat is a little on the small size (the manufacturer suggests covering the play surface with a plastic sheet or disposable table cloth). If my kids played with it indoors, I think I'd invest in a large shallow tub or tray to help contain the play.
What I really like about this toy is that it gives me the opportunity to talk to my kids about the science and processes of molding. (Yes, the mechanical engineer side of me really loves mechanical toys. I worked for a company that specialized in blow and extrusion molding, so molding toys are especially intriguing to me.) While it seems like magic, the barn is actually a machine that molds figures. Molding is an interesting manufacturing process to discuss with kids because many toys are made using molding techniques. Also, from a creativity standpoint, the product offers unlimited possibilities for creative, messy play. For instance, how many other toys provide you with the opportunity to make a snowman in the summer?
I've been curious about Moon Dough since I've seen it on the shelves - I was wondering if it tracked like the moon sand... guess it does!

Humour, insight – whatever takes my fancy
Tag: Tina Turner
Music, The arts
The Songwriters – Graham Lyle
Graham Lyle (left) with Benny Gallagher
No, I'm no forgetting Benny Gallagher, his long-time partner from the early days, but Graham Lyle's career extended beyond the Gallagher and Lyle brand and into heady chart territory in the US.
But first, the first bit. He's Scottish, Graham Lyle. Part of a general group of musicians and singers who, it seemed almost reluctantly, insinuated themselves into the British music scene in the 60s and 70s – Gerry Rafferty, Billy Connolly et al. Gallagher and Lyle had gone the usual route of local bands before getting down to London in the mid-late Sixties, being spotted by The Beatles' Apple Corps and doing some writing for Mary Hopkin.
Then they found themselves part of McGuinness Flint, named after bass player Tom McGuinness (Manfred Mann) and drummer Hughie Flint (John Mayall). The Scots songsmiths provided the hit singles When I'm Dead and Gone and Malt And Barley Blues.
In the mid Seventies Gallagher and Lyle went duo and sold plenty of copies of I Wanna Stay With You and Heart On My Sleeve. They were mining a seam on the very border where rock and folk met middle of the road, so leftover neo-hippies (such as myself) found their stuff acceptably cool while Radio Two and your Mum thought they were quite pleasant too.
The album that contained those hits was Breakaway, the title track of which became a hit for Art Garfunkel, while Bryan Ferry enjoyed success with Heart On My Sleeve.
Just as the world seemed to be opening up for the duo as writers, while Lyle embraced the US music scene, Gallagher faded from the scene and was missing in action during the 80s, before reemerging with The Manfreds in the 90s. When his tenure with them came to an end he became a fixture on the Scottish folk club circuit as a singer-songwriter, and there he has remained, also playing at festivals, teaching songwriting and being instrumental in a charitable organization aimed at helping songwriters to gain their due share of royalties.
Lyle, though, took a very different path. Often writing with fellow Brit Terry Britten, he became one of the most sought-after writers in the US. What's Love Got To Do With It was a major factor in Tina Turner's 80s rebirth, and he also co-wrote I Don't Wanna Lose You and We Don't Need Another Hero for her. He had a song on a Michael Jackson album and has been recorded by Ray Charles (Rock'n'roll Shoes), Diana Ross (Change of Heart), Etta James (Hold Me Just A Little Longer Tonight), Patti Labelle, Anita Baker and Joe Cocker. It's not all hit singles and famous songs, but ask a vintage musician in L.A. who Graham Lyle is and chances are they will know.
And that is success. Hits are the icing on the cake.

The Songwriters – Albert Hammond
Here's a man who has been making a very good living writing songs for decades without quite becoming a household name.
Albert Hammond has several claims to fame: he's the guy who, in the early 1970s, did It Never Rains In Southern California and Free Electric Band, both hits in his own name. Fast forward 30 years and he had a rock star son: Albert Hammond Jr of The Strokes.
But what of the rest of the life of Albert Hammond Sr? Well, let's start with The Air That I Breathe, an anthemic hit for The Hollies in 1974, and since covered by a host of acts from Cilla Black to Judy Collins and Julio Iglesias to Simply Red.
But none of these songs represented the start for Hammond. In 1967 there was a cutesy (i.e. irritating) song by Leapy Lee called Little Arrows, while Irish middle-of-the-road singer Joe Dolan did well in 1969 with Make Me An Island.
This is the sort of opening salvo of a songwriter's career that makes it quite clear he's not going to sit around and wait for his mature classic to appear; he has a living to make and whatever catchy nonsense falls from his brain, he's going to make some money from it if he can.
While the following are nothing to be ashamed of – and they sold in chart-making quantities in the UK – they're unlikely to make many people's list of classics either: Freedom Come Freedom Go (Blue Mink), Gimme Dat Ding (The Pipkins) and Good Morning Freedom (The Fortunes).
As it happens, Hammond's gift did mature. From his early days working with Mike Hazlewood (he always wrote with a partner) he went on to collaborate with Hal David, Carole Bayer Sager and Diane Warren, none of whom would have wanted to taint themselves with substandard material.
The songs that flowed from Albert Hammond after the initial period form part of the adult-oriented rock canon, from Tina Turner's I Don't Want To Lose You to One Moment In Time, Whitney Houston's version of which was used as the theme song for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul (I don't know if they used Little Arrows during the archery events) .
Hal David provided the words for 1984's To All the Girls I've Loved Before (Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson), while Diane Warren was on the scene by the time of Don't Turn Around, originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler but a hit for Aswad in 1989 and Ace of Bass later on.
One rather strange credit for Albert Hammond is connected with Radiohead's breakthrough hit Creep, which some people seemed to think bore enough of a similarity to The Air That I Breathe to warrant a threat of legal action. I must have listened to both songs a hundred times and it never occurred to me, but Radiohead conceded there was a strong similarity and Hammond settled out of court for a percentage of the royalties.
The mercenary nature of the music business was demonstrated again when Starship, which had evolved from the ultra-hip 1960s counterculture beast that was Jefferson Airplane, made a bucketload of money out of Hammond and Warren's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.
Mission accomplished, then, for Albert Hammond, who has done what he was put on this earth to do – and good luck to him (and thanks for one or two nice ones along the way).

The wisdom of pop songs – Rain is bad
The human condition explained in three-minute bursts
Double A side. Paperback Writer probably won because it was upbeat, but Rain is equally catchy
This thread of the blog being called The Wisdom of Pop Songs, we're not just going to look at songs about the weather, but what the weather symbolizes.
Rain has always been a negative symbol: sun good, rain bad. That, of course, depends on where you live, but famous pop songs don't generally come from the Sahara or from drought-stricken countries.
If you go out in the rain, you get wet, and most people don't like that. Being cold is one thing. Being cold and wet is another. Besides, rain spoils your hairstyle and doesn't look good when soaked into your clothes. On the ground it forms mud, which means dirty shoes and maybe strips of gunge at the bottom of your trousers.
No one, then, likes being caught in the rain – unless they're in love, and we will come to that next week.
This week, rain is bad. Ask anyone. Ask John Lennon, who wrote Rain, the B-side of Paperback Writer in 1966. "If the rain comes, they run and hide their head. They might as well be dead." That's a bit extreme, but maybe he was speaking metaphorically, and rain represented bad things in general. Actually, at one point he says "Rain, I don't mind". A gorgeous song, anyway, the psychedelic sound just developing in Lennon's voice, and Paul McCartney's bass going where no bass player had gone before (listen to it later – it's at the bottom of the page).
A couple of years before Lennon wrote that, he would have heard The Cascades' one-off hit Rhythm of the Rain, in which the singer imagines the rain is communicating with him.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
Listen, pal, I know you're young and romantic, but you'll get yourself locked up if you carry on like that.
As I just mentioned, young lovers can find walking in the rain quite charming, but not Oran "Juice" Jones in 1986. What bothered him, though, was that his girlfriend was walking in the rain with someone else – holding the guy's hand, no less – and if anyone was going to be getting soaked in that way, it should have been him.
Paul Simon came up with a very different scenario in I Do It For Your Love on the Still Crazy album. Daydreaming about the beginning of a relationship, he sings of buying furniture for the couple's rather modest abode.
Found a rug in an old junk shop
Brought it home to you
Along the way the colours ran
The orange bled the blue
Let's hope he wasn't clutching it to his nice white shirt, or that will have been ruined too.
Rain on a window. On some glass, at least. And it could have been sprayed by a hose. Looks like rain, anyway
Peter Gabriel's song Red Rain (1986 on the album So) may not be about rain at all. Again, it may have been about something bad happening, and poor old scapegoat precipitation gets the blame. It's falling down all over him, apparently. But he's dreaming, so it could be anything. He could have had a deprived childhood in which his family had tomato ketchup with everything to enhance the bland food, so he shook the Heinz bottle so many times he was sick of it.
It's a theory, that's all. These are pop songs, not pronouncements from on high.
Carole King left us in no doubt about her feelings in her 1962 hit "It might as well rain until September". She didn't mean that in a good way. Her boyfriend had gone away for the summer and she wasn't happy about it. Let's hope he and the sun returned before her tennis shoes went rotten.
ELO made the wet stuff guilty by association in Showdown (1973), when an unspecified situation is heading for a confrontation that can bring no good, and the singer concludes:
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
Eurythmics (they didn't go in for definite articles) joined in the moaning in 1984 with this:
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Little Annie Lennox wanted better weather, which would somehow revive a dead relationship.
This was a comedy record. It is excruciating. But I still have it in my iTunes
James Taylor's breakthrough hit Fire and Rain is said by some to be metaphorical, with the elements of the title representing his drug addiction (fire) and alcohol consumption (rain), and for once there could be something in that. Send the forensics team in to examine the song and you find that the Suzanne whom he had always thought he would see again was one Suzanne Schnerr, an old friend who had committed suicide, while the "flying machines in pieces on the ground" refers to the breakup of his old band, Flying Machine.
So it's a rarity: a pop song that actually means something.
Meanwhile, back at the rainy day complaints department, I Can't Stand The Rain, as popularized by Ann Peebles and covered by many others including Tina Turner, reggae singer Hortense Ellis, Paul Rodgers and Michael Bolton, gives us rain against the window as emblematic of the distress caused by yet another romantic breakup.
When Bob Dylan sang about a hard rain that was going to fall, he was at his most enigmatic: the bard of rock talking about who knows what. Something to do with heavy water, a part of the process of creating nuclear energy and therefore capable of more bad than good? You get the feeling Dylan is never going to tell us the truth, because his protest songs and other heavy material rely on their mystery.
Yeah, it's a title, okay? That's all
Way back in the 1950s, Buddy Holly presented no such conundrums with Raining in my Heart, in which everything in the garden is rosy except one thing: the girl doesn't love him. The weather man doesn't know that, though, so he has announced glorious sunshine. Insensitive berk.
That's more like it. Pop music is for basic emotions. It's there to tell us we're not alone and others have felt the way we do. It's there for us, come rain or shine.
Next Friday: rain is good
