Best tablet 2022: the top Android and iPad slates
The best tablets combine the portability of a smartphone with the versatility of a laptop. These portable devices have come a long way since their early beginnings, and many of them are now powerful enough to serve as great laptop alternatives.
When choosing the ideal tablet, whether you want the best iPad, the best Android tablet, or a cheap tablet with excellent performance, it's important to know what you'll be using it for. Some tablets are made for professionals and creatives, offering powerful performance and useful features like a stylus or keyboard folio compatibility. Others work best as portable entertainment devices, being great for gaming or watching movies.
Since we've tested every major tablet and used each of them for a broad range of purposes, we can tell you which ones are worth your time and money. We've narrowed down your choices below, paying attention to processing power, software, screen quality, battery life, and how well they work with accessories. With plenty of tablets vying for your attention, we'll make it easy for you to choose the best tablet for you.
The best tablet 2022
The best tablet overall
Dimensions: 280.6 x 214.9 x 6.4mm
OS: iPadOS 14
CPU: Apple M1
Storage: 128GB/256GB/512GB/1TB/2TB
microSD slot: No
Rear camera: 12MP + 10MP
New, Refurbished
Phenomenal power
Fantastic display
The most expensive tablet
Lackluster color options
The iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) is a spectacular tablet, with its headline feature arguably being the M1 chipset that powers it. This chipset was lifted straight from Apple's top-end Macs, so you're truly getting desktop power in a tablet here.
We were blown away when we tested the tablet – the chip was great for tasks like photo and video editing, as well as gaming. But that's not all this tablet has going for it. For the first time in an iPad, it also has a Mini LED screen, with a remarkably high 1,600-nit peak brightness, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 2048 x 2732 resolution. It's crisp, bright, vibrant, and all-round impressive.
The iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) also has a long-lasting battery, a decent camera, a premium aluminum design, and support for the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2 – these are sold separately, but turn it into a real productivity machine, and we used them non-stop in our testing period.
So if you want to get some proper work or creation done on a tablet, or you're just a big tablet gamer, the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) will be the perfect device. But if your needs are lighter then you might find this too expensive and too big.

The best Android tablet
CPU: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
Storage: 128GB/256GB/512GB
microSD slot: Yes
Battery: 11,200mAh
Rear camera: 13MP + 6MP
Front camera: 12MP + 12MP
Very powerful
Giant screen can be useful
Unwieldy to transport
Incredibly expensive
With the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, Samsung isn't just aiming to compete with the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021), it's aiming to top Apple's slate. And, in some ways it succeeds.
Samsung's tablet has an even bigger 14.6-inch screen, and it comes with an S Pen stylus in the box – while with the iPad you have to buy an Apple Pencil separately. While we thought that we'd find the giant screen overwhelming, it's actually great, whether you're using it for art or just watching movies.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra can also more or less match Apple's best tablet in a lot of ways, including power, thanks to a top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, and cameras, with both slates sporting a handy 12MP ultra-wide camera on the front.
You can also buy a keyboard folio for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, and it has great speakers and plenty of storage. So in many ways it really is an even bigger iPad Pro – just one that runs Android. But that last point is a big part of why the Tab S8 Ultra doesn't quite match the best that Apple has to offer, because Android is a slightly unwieldy tablet operating system.
Couple that with the slate itself being large and heavy enough to not be as portable as you might want your tablet to be, and Apple edges the win. But for Android fans who want the best available option and aren't on a budget, this is the tablet to buy.

A more affordable version of the iPad Pro
OS: iPadOS 15.4
Battery: 10-hour
Rear camera: 12MP
Speedy performance
Limited storage
Quite pricey
Apple's latest iPad has a lot more in common with the iPad Pro than with the company's entry-level slates. And, when we tested the thing, we had to keep checking which tablet it actually was.
There's an all-body display, M1 chipset, Apple Pencil compatibility and long-lasting battery. Oh, and of course it runs on Apple's iPadOS which is a supremely useful tablet operating system. On test, its performance is very close to the iPad Pro range, which is impressive when you consider its list price.
This is one of the best tablets we've tested, and the iPad Pro and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra only beat it in a few ways, like with their bigger screens, extra storage space and high-res displays. But if you don't have the money to stretch for those two premium tabs, this mid-range alternative could be great for you.

A great tablet for entertainment
Dimensions: 293.4 x 204 x 6.2-24.9mm
Rear camera: None
Front camera: 8MP
Useful built-in stand
Fantastic speaker quality
Design makes cases hard to use
The Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 is a really interesting tablet – one that goes well beyond just being a smartphone with a bigger screen. That starts with its design, as it has a built-in stand that lets you angle it on surfaces without any sort of case, or even hang it off things – hence the Yoga name. We found this incredibly useful, as we could easily position the Tab on different surfaces when streaming music or movies.
The Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 also has a large speaker housed in the stand section at the bottom. This is bigger and more powerful than most tablet speakers, so it's a treat for watching movies and playing games on, even without headphones.
Plus, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 has a micro HDMI port, which is an unusual find on a tablet. This allows you to connect it to other devices so you can easily output the display on a larger screen or use it as a second screen for a computer, and we found the Tab a great device to use as a portable second screen.
On top of all that it also has the tablet basics down, including a large 13-inch screen, a powerful Snapdragon 870 chipset, and a big 10,200mAh battery – complete with speedy 30W charging support. It lacks a camera on the back, but that's the only real omission here.

The best basic iPad
CPU: A13 Bionic
Storage: 64/256GB
Rear camera: 8MP
Excellent value
Upgraded selfie camera
Only iPad without Face ID
Doesn't support newer accessories
The iPad 10.2 (2021) is an affordable iPad, and it looks like it, as it's now the only current model with an old-fashioned, bezel-heavy design. We're not big fans of this aspect of it, but almost every other part of the iPad 10.2 (2021) impressed us.
From its excellent 12MP ultra-wide selfie camera (which gives video calls a major upgrade), to its True Tone display tech (which helps with outdoor visibility), there's a lot to like here. You also get double the storage of the previous model and a power boost.
Apple has given it the A13 Bionic chip, giving it a solid upgrade over its predecessor. During testing, it was slightly snappier in operation, with apps being quick to load. We were able to multi-task easily nor did we experience any lag. This might be a budget iPad, but it's still a highly capable tablet.

A golden 'oldie'
Dimensions: 285 x 185 x 5.7 mm
CPU: Snapdragon 865 Plus
Gorgeous OLED screen
Android lacks quality tablet apps
High price – but reasonable value
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus is a serious rival to the iPad Pro range that you've read about above. Sure, it's been eclipsed by the Tab S8 family, but it's still great. Its screen arguably has iPads beat, as it's a 12.4-inch Super AMOLED one with a 2800 x 1752 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The iPad Pro range can match much of that, but those slates have LCD screens that for the most part aren't as good.
Inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, which we found to be plenty powerful. Plus, it comes with a premium metal build that is incredibly slim with it only being 5.7mm thick.
Want high speed internet? A version of the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus also comes with 5G connectivity, and you'll get the Samsung S Pen stylus in the box for free. Android isn't as good as iPadOS is on tablets, but if you want an Android alternative to an iPad this could be it.

The best 11-inch iPad
Screen size: 11-inch
Desktop PC-level performance
iPadOS doesn't utilize the power of M1
Doesn't feature a Mini LED display
The iPad Pro 11 (2021) is a superb tablet, but one that's just ever so slightly underwhelming in the face of the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) with its Mini LED display. This instead has to settle for LCD like its predecessor, but it still has a great 11-inch 1668 x 2388 screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it has the same overpowered Apple M1 chipset as its larger sibling, so nothing should slow this down.
The iPad Pro 11 (2021) also has a smaller, lighter build than the 12.9-inch model, making it more portable – as a result of its smaller size and inferior screen it's also more affordable, though certainly far from cheap. If you do have extra cash to spend though, you can always shell out on a Magic Keyboard or an Apple Pencil, both of which are supported. All of which means this is a very powerful, versatile slate – albeit one that's slightly let down by its restrictive software.
Read the full iPad Pro 11 (2021) review
The best middle iPad
Blue, Gold, Green, Silver
All-screen design
Lots of power
64GB storage is limited
Higher price than last-gen
The iPad Air 4 (2020) is arguably the best tablet for anyone who can't quite justify splashing out on the very best, as it has many of the things that make the iPad Pro range great, but it costs less. It even has an A14 Bionic chipset, which is what you'll find in the iPhone 12 range, and we found it to be exceptionally powerful.
The iPad Air 4 (2020) also supports both the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil. So it's almost as good as a laptop replacement or general productivity device as an iPad Pro.
With good all-round specs too and a wide range of colors that you can buy it in, the iPad Air 4 (2020) is a great choice for a lot of people – though the cheapest model only comes with 64GB of storage, which won't go far.

The best tablet for media
Dimensions: 285.6 x 184.5 x 5.6 mm
CPU: Snapdragon 870 5G
Battery: 10.200mAh
Front camera: 8MP + 8MP
Great OLED display
Includes stylus
No headphone jack
Quite expensive
Lenovo might not be the first name you think of when you consider a tablet but the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro has a screen that makes it a great option for streaming content on the move. It has a 12-inch display with a 2K resolution of 1,600 x 2,560. Alongside that, its AMOLED display offers a refresh rate of 120Hz so it can handle fast-moving action on screen with minimal motion blur. There's also support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision so you gain vibrant colors and great contrast.
Besides the gorgeous display, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro uses a Snapdragon 870 chipset so it's fairly speedy. It's ideal for gaming with that screen helping out, particularly when considering cloud streaming game services like Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Elsewhere, there's an effective stylus included for getting more precise with your touches, even if it's not the best of the bunch. A decent battery life that should last most of the day rounds off the appealing package.

The best small iPad
Screen size: 8.3-inch
Stylish compact design
Battery life could be better
5G connectivity is limited
The iPad mini (2021) is a big upgrade for Apple's tiny tablet range. It sports a more modern design with a bigger 8.3-inch screen squeezed into an even smaller space than the old model's 7.9-inch display.
The new mini also comes with a lot more power and 5G support for the first time on a mini model. Powered by Apple's A15 Bionic chipset – the same processor that powers the iPhone 13 series, it's powerful enough to run any app or game and showcase multitasking prowess. During our tests, we found it to be more than capable for most things.
Elsewhere the changes are smaller, and we weren't overly impressed by the battery life of the iPad mini (2021). However, it's still the best small iPad and the best small tablet from any brand.

How we test tablets
Every tablet on this list has been thoroughly tested and put through a comprehensive review, so we know exactly what makes them tick and how they compare. From there, we've ranked them based on our findings, factoring in their price and value too.
What is the best brand for tablets
Different brands make devices aimed at different buyers, so there's no 'best' brand, there's just a brand that's best for you.
Amazon's slates are great for low-budget entertainment, but aren't as good for work or creativity. Samsung has some like that too, though its top-end slates are better for workers.
Apple's iPads hit all beats, though they cost a lot, so aren't great for everybody. Lenovo's tabs are great for working, especially for students, and its Yoga devices bring features that are great for entertainment too.
Other, smaller tablet makers generally focus on entertainment tools, though some are good for work and a select few are also useful for creatives.
What should I look for when buying a tablet?
The main things to consider are how much you want to spend, and what operating system you want – with Apple's iPadOS and Android being the two main options. Then think about what else matters to you in a tablet – be it size, power, camera or battery – and choose accordingly.
What tablet can replace a laptop?
If you're hoping to get serious work done on a tablet then an iPad Pro, such as the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021), would be a good option. This has a big screen, lots of power, and supports a keyboard accessory. For an Android alternative, consider the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus, which has similar selling points.

'The New Normal': US Charges Chinese Military Officers With Cyber Espionage
The US Department of Justice and the FBI indict five members of the Chinese military for allegedly hacking and stealing trade secrets of major American steel, solar energy, and other manufacturing companies, including Alcoa, Westinghouse Electric, and US Steel.
The Obama administration made history today with the country's first-ever criminal charges filed for cyber espionage. The US Department of Justice indicted five members of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) with hacking into US businesses to steal trade secrets.
The five defendants named in an indictment unsealed today -- Wang Dong, Sun Kailiang, Wen Xinyu, Huang Zhenyu, and Gu Chunhui -- are part of Unit 61398 of the Third Department of China's PLA in Shanghai, a group also known as APT1, which was first exposed publicly in an eye-opening report early last year by the security firm Mandiant, now part of FireEye.

Westinghouse Electric, Alcoa, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, US Steel, the United Steelworkers Union, and SolarWorld all are named as victims in the May 1 indictment. A grand jury in Pittsburgh handed down indictments for 31 criminal counts, including identity theft, economic espionage, theft of trade secrets, and various hacking charges.
China's widespread and aggressive cyber espionage operations against US government, military, and corporate interests has been a poorly kept secret and, to date, a frustrating game of cat and mouse with victim organizations and security firms calling out specific indicators of compromise, or earmarks of their activities, that help victims block or keep an eye out for signs of the attackers.
It's also been a political battle of wills between the United States and China. The US has upped its warnings about hacking activities, but China has vehemently denied conducting cyber espionage and demanded proof. Chinese officials today dismissed the report as "absurd" and said the Chinese military does not engage in cyber espionage.
But the big news is that today's indictments signal a shift in US strategy. "These represent the first ever charges against known state actors for infiltrating US commercial targets by cyber means," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a press briefing today. "This is a case alleging economic espionage by members of the Chinese military. The range of trade secrets and other sensitive business information stolen in this case is significant and demands an aggressive response."
Richard Bejtlich, chief security strategist for FireEye, says the actual Shanghai building Mandiant tied to the PLA unit more than a year ago in its report was also pinpointed by the DOJ in its indictment. But Bejtlich and other experts say it's very unlikely the men named in the indictment will face prosecution.
"No one expects any of these gentlemen to serve any time or leave the country," said Bejtlich, a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "But at the same time, this sets a template. There are hundreds of thousands of other victims out there, and parts of DOJ now know how to put a case together."
FBI officials made it clear that today's action is only the beginning. "This indictment clears the way for additional charges to be made. This is the new normal," Robert Anderson, executive assistant director of the FBI, said in the briefing. This is "what you're going to see on a recurring basis, not just every six months or every year. If you're going to attack Americans for criminal or national security purposes, we're going to hold you accountable no matter what country you live in."
Anderson called the losses to the US companies "significant," though he would not assign a value to them.
"The indictment alleges that these PLA officers maintained unauthorized access to victim computers to steal information from those entities that would be useful to their competitors in China, including state-owned enterprises," Holder said. "In some cases, they stole trade secrets that would have been particularly beneficial to Chinese companies at the time they were stolen. In others, they stole sensitive, internal communications that would provide a competitor, or adversary in litigation, with insight into the strategy and vulnerabilities of the American entity."
Take Alcoa. In February 2008, the steel manufacturer announced a partnership with the Aluminum Corporation of China (Chinalco) to purchase 12% of the mining company Rio Tinto PLC. According to the indictment, three weeks after Alcoa announced the deal with the Chinese nationally owned Chinalco (which the indictment did not name but is on public record as the firm involved in the deal), one of the defendants sent a spear phishing email to Alcoa that led to the theft of thousands of email messages and attachments from Alcoa's systems, including internal correspondence about the Rio Tinto deal.
One of the defendants is charged with stealing proprietary technical and design specifications for pipes, pipe supports, and pipe routing in nuclear power plants from Westinghouse. The information was allegedly stolen in 2010, when Westinghouse was building four power plants in China and negotiating terms of a construction contract with a Chinese-owned company.
"Westinghouse was in negotiations over a nuclear [facility] construction. They [the attackers] stole design from the plans," said John Carlin, assistant attorney general for national security.
Wen and at least one other (unidentified) attacker allegedly pilfered proprietary pricing, manufacturing metrics, production line information, and attorney-client communications about trade litigation from SolarWorld, which, along with other renewable energy firms, had waged complaints about China's trade "dumping" of competitive products below fair market value.
Not surprisingly, the new aggressive strategy against China also opens the administration to criticism of US policies in the wake of revelations about the vast spying operations by the National Security Agency (NSA). US officials and experts say the US hacking is limited to intelligence gathering for national security purposes and does not cross the line into theft of commercial trade secrets. "As President Obama has said on numerous occasions, we do not collect intelligence to provide a competitive advantage to US companies or US commercial sectors," Holder said today in the news briefing.
Unit 61398, where the defendants allegedly operate, is known for long-term infiltration of its targets, coming and going over months or years to steal proprietary information such as blueprints, manufacturing processes, test results, business plans, pricing information, partnership information, and emails and contacts from high-level company officials.
"There was an unspoken rule we don't talk about China. But now we are all talking about China, and here are the guys behind" some attacks, says George Kurtz, CEO at CrowdStrike, which focuses on getting to the bad guys behind advanced attacks. "This is a watershed moment for this activity to be called out... something the security industry has known for a long time. The fact that the government is moving to the next level in the escalation process is a big deal."
Kurtz would not comment on whether CrowdStrike assisted the DOJ in the investigation, but he says there's value in humanizing the threat. "It's not a faceless crime. Here they are. This does help people conceptualize the human element."
Naming names signals a maturation in the process of thwarting cyber espionage, he says. "It will open the floodgates for other companies" to go public in their victimization and investigations. "My hope is that they can be more open without [worry about] blaming the victim."
Any blowback from the NSA revelations is irrelevant, according to Kurtz. "The NSA isn't actively giving IP from Airbus to Boeing. That [type of thing] just doesn't take place. China owns half of its companies. There's financial incentive" for cyber espionage.
At an ACT-IAC forum this morning, former NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander said theft by the Chinese and others of intellectual property hurts the US competitively. There needs to be better understanding of the impact of that, as well as a "more defensible architecture," he told an audience of government and industry executives.
David Hickton, US Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, says the attacks resulted in some job losses. During the press briefing, he cited a Texas plant purchased by US Steel. "When these intrusions hit and the market was flooded [with pipe products] well below cost from China, these plants were padlocked, and people lost their jobs."
The indictment alleges that Wang, Sun, Wen, and other individuals (both known and unknown to the grand jury) hacked or attempted to hack into the companies named in the case. Huang and Gu handled the domain accounts for the operations, the indictment says. A Chinese company allegedly hired one of the hackers to build a database of stolen intellectual property from the steel industry.
Jon Heimerl, senior security strategist at Solutionary, says the indictment likely won't make a big dent in cyber espionage -- and it could result in more attacks on the US.
"Ultimately, today's events will not likely have a measureable impact on global espionage. Private and government-backed espionage will continue, regardless of how this particular case progresses," Heimerl says. "If anything, it is conceivable that this could increase espionage against the United States, as the charges do more to raise the US position than they do the hacker position."
Holder said that, even if China does not cooperate in the case, the US has other options. "We hope they cooperate with us. If not, we will use all of the means to ultimately have these people appear in federal court here in Pittsburgh. There are a range of tools we can use to do this."
The full indictment is available here for download.

Re: 'Yes, but we do it for freedom...'
I have a hard time believing the NSA is a tyrannical agency. An agency that oversteps at times? Yes. Are there some bad individuals in the agency? Likely. But it should come as no surprise after the "We failed to connect the dots" for 9/11 conclusion would not ultimately swing the pendulum to the extreme in its mission to help prevent another terrorist attack.

= "NSA's purpose is national defense."
their purported purpose... is looking for "terrorists" . do you believe that? or are they really looking for *dissidents* -- just like every ordinary tyrant.
securityaffairs,
As I declared this morning to the Reuters I'm not surprised at the latest turn of events, this is just the "tip of the iceberg".
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/20/us-cybercrime-usa-china-unit-idUSBREA4J08M20140520

"I believe there's an ongoing battle in the cyberspace. These countries are investing large amounts in cyber units that are able to create specific malware and have the ability to get into foreign networks and computers to steal trade secrets and intellectual properties," he said.
As Charlie highlighted almost every US allies is sure that also NSA was spying on them also for marketing competition.
Why spy on German Industries? Why spy on allies?
Anyway cyber espionage is common practice, I believe that first of all we must be concerned of militarization of Internet, other bad actors could benefit of this situation like cyber criminals and cyber terrorists.
The big difference here between NSA's spying and China's cyber espionage spying strategy is that China's is all about market competition, while NSA's purpose is national defense. While I agree the Snowden leaks show NSA overreach in some of its operations, the goals/mission are/were not the same as China's here. As George Kurtz said, the NSA isn't stealing aircraft plans from Airbus and giving them to Boeing.

'Yes, but we do it for freedom...'
This case is not exactly going to be "the shot heard 'round the world," whatever the its merits. Most of our allies suspect we have conducted business spying on them. They won't believe for a second that we haven't already done to the Chinese what we accuse them of doing to us. The former director of the CIA explained, "Yes, but we did it for freedom...." In the court of public opinion, that's a conflicted argument.

Q: Debian Squeeze Linux 9p virtfs guest mount failure First some background information on the server:
Host OS: Debian Linux Squeeze + qemu-kvm version 1.0+dfsg-8~bpo60+1
Guest OS: Debian Linux Squeeze
I use qemu-kvm via libvirt. I have set up 9p VirtFS with the following in Guest's XML config:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
  <source dir='/srv/www'/>
  <target dir='wwwdata'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
</filesystem>

That is, I want to share /srv/www to the guest OS using mount tag wwwdata.
When I try to mount the VirtFS share from the guest, I get an error message:
root@server:~# mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L2 wwwdata /srv/www/
mount: wwwdata: can't read superblock

I also tried virtfs target dir/mount_tag www at first. I got the same error message. However, I was able to mount the VirtFS share using mount tag www1111, or www1 or similar.
Some more notes on this one. dmesg doesn't show anything useful either in guest or the host. The only sign is this entry in the guest dmesg:
[   36.054936] Installing v9fs 9p2000 file system support
Does anyone know how to get this working correctly? Google gives no useful information on this issue; I've tried several searches.

A: Do you need to override PCI address information? From the QEMU documentation:

Libvirt will also automatically assign a PCI address for the 9p
  device, though that can be overridden if desired.

If you don't actually need that override, have you tried to strip your guest XML config to be only
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
  <source dir='/srv/www'/>
  <target dir='wwwdata'/>
</filesystem>

Jozef Van Wissem - When Shall This Bright Day Begin
classical / experimental / folk
When Shall This Bright Day Begin by Jozef van Wissem
Consouling Sounds
THISISNOTABANDSHIRT by Merchants Of Air, only available in March 2016
I've been looking forward to this one. We saw Jozef Van Wissem perform live twice: just him and his lute which he wields in such a diverse and controlled manner like only an extremely passionate musician can. We bought his album The Joy That Never Ends, which contains the same kind of non-verbal beauty. Appearantly, this Dutch composer has made a lot more albums than I thought, often working together with artists like Jim Jarmusch and Tilda Swinton. Jozef has also written soundtracks for films and a video game during his now 16 year old musical career.
Quite a surprise for us that his latest album comes with subtle electronics, samples and sometimes vocals, although there are purely instrumental tracks too. The general atmosphere is darker than the work I've heard, which is emphasized by the album cover and the titles. In general, Jozef plays slower, that's for sure, a bit harsher and I sense even more affliction then I saw on his face during his concerts. This might of course be interpretation of mine, maybe Jozef is a very happy person. But did you ever see a happy man holding a self-castigating device or inventing a song title like 'On the incomparable nobility of earthly suffering'?
There's something unique about this gloomy atmosphere - should I call it post-gloomy? I have the slight impression that this is someone who went through a lot of crap, and at one point decided to spend the rest of his life on stuff that really makes sense. The lute and meditation for example.
There's quite some variety between the songs, but they share the atmosphere described above. It's impossible for me to choose a favourite, neither is there one which I don't like as much as the others. Jozef uses his own spoken word on 'You can't remain here', 'Detachment' and 'The ecstacy of the golden cross' which came as quite a surprise at the first listen. And suddenly during this listening session, Serge and I asked each other: "Where do we know this voice from?" Yes, Zola Jesus. Nika sings as beautiful as ever on the track 'Ruins' and it blends perfectly with the music. You can also hear her shoegazing chants in the opening track 'To lose yourself forever is eternal happiness'. What a gem of a title.
What a gem of an album.

Larry Baer Ready to Lead Giants in 2022 After Lockout Flurry of Signings
Larry Baer, president and chief executive officer of the San Francisco Giants, is excited for the start of the 2022 season. Following the extended lockout, the Giants, like all of MLB's teams, was in a position to complete roster builds quickly.
Enthusiasm is high for a team that last season won a league-leading 107 games, especially in the loaded NL West division, with heavyweights the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres loaded to bear.
Despite the heady regular season, the Giants saw their playoff run end early, losing to the Dodgers 3-2 in the NLDS Division Series.
The Giants' season opener is April 8 against the Miami Marlins. Despite the compressed spring training and late start to the season, the team will open at home with renewed hopes.
"We're focused on not missing a single game," Baer said to the media just after the lockout concluded, noting the team was excited to complete a full 162-game season.
A New Look in 2022 for Larry Baer and the Giants
The Giants roster will look a bit different than in 2021. The biggest loss is of Buster Posey, the reliable backstop and future Hall of Famer who retired after the 2021 season. Posey led the Giants to three World Series title and was named 2010 NL Rookie of the Year and 2012 MVP, when he led the league with a .336 average.
The team also lost midseason 2021 pickup Kris Bryant, who batted .262 with 7 home runs and 22 RBIs in his limited sting with the team. Bryant signed with the Colorado Rockies in the offseason.
Kevin Gausman, who was the Giants' opening day starting pitcher and an All Star in 2021, also left via free agency. After compiling a 14-6 record with a 2.81 ERA in 33 starts, Gausman signed with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Giants made some notable additions in the offseason, especially to their pitching corps. The team signed Carlos Rodon, who had an All-Star season that featured a no-hitter while hurling for the Chicago White Sox. Rodon finished the year with a 13-5 record and a 2.37 ERA.
The team also signed Alex Cobb, who had an 8-3 record and a 3.76 ERA last season with the Los Angeles Angels.
The Giants also resigned pitchers Alex Wood (10-4, 3.83 ERA) and Anthony DeSclafani (13-7, 3.17 ERA) and first baseman/outfielder Daren Ruf (.271, 16 HRs, 43 RBIs).
Larry Baer Looked for Big Splash after the Lockout
Following the end of the lockout, the team was thought to be one of the bigger players in the free for all that ensued. During that time, they signed Rodon, but missed out on several big-name stars they were reportedly pursuing.
Outfielder Joc Pederson, who hit .238 with 18 HRs and 61 RBIs last season with the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves, also inked a deal in March.
The team signed lefty pitcher Matthew Boyd (3-9, 3.89 ERA) from the Detroit Tigers late in spring training and traded for outfielder Luke Williams (.245, 1 HR, 6 RBIs) from the Philadelphia Phillies.
Other transactions included signing Jose Godoy off of waivers from the Seattle Mariners, only to have him claimed by the Minnesota Twins five days later, former Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis, and longtime Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez and journeyman Taylor Williams to minor league deals.
The club was reportedly in on several major free agents after the lockout, including Japanese star Seiya Suzuki, who ultimately signed with the Cubs, and Trevor Story, who inked a deal with the Boston Red Sox.
Bettors Bullish on Giants in 2022
With the postseason expanding to 12 teams in 2022, the betting industry has high hopes for the Giants. The March 23 odds from Caesars Sportsbook have the team:
12th-best odds to win the World Series (+2500)
Tied for 6th to win the league pennant (+1300)
Third-best odds to win the division (+525)
The futures prop bets for the Giants are interesting, with Caesars putting the following:
-140 for the Giants to make the playoffs
-110 for the team to win over 85.5 games
+3000 that talented pitcher Logan Webb wins the 2022 NL Cy Young Award
Another Season Awaits Giants Executive
For Larry Baer, the 2022 season marks his 31st year with the club, having joined the team in 1992 as executive vice president. He was named CEO in 2012 and in his first year in the role, the Giants won their second World Series in three years; the club would add another in 2014.

Ophthalmologist Never Loses Sight of His Purpose
When ophthalmologist Paul Dougherty, MD, isn't developing new vision correction technologies, he travels abroad to gift vision to people who haven't seen in years and trains local ophthalmologists to continue the work.
Every cloud has a silver lining. That's the optimist's view, and Paul Dougherty, MD, a Los Angeles-based ophthalmologist, is an optimist. But that perspective was shaken several years ago when Dougherty's 5-year-old son Andrew died suddenly of the flu.
"It was obviously a pretty powerful experience for me," says Dougherty, whose family was torn apart over the grieving process. "But it was also very powerful in terms of the clarity of what my life's purpose is. I realized I was put on this earth to help gift vision to people who can't afford [the surgery]."
That purpose, in fact, has become the driving force in Dougherty's life.
A surgeon and a patient
Vision correction surgery was in its infancy when Dougherty was in medical school. As a former wearer of glasses and contact lenses, he was drawn to the high technology, but also to the high rate of patient satisfaction and positive outcomes that were associated with vision correction surgery.
"A lot of things in medicine are very sad, and I'm a very positive person," Dougherty says. "And oncology, neurosurgery, were things where there was a lot of sadness involved. I liked the positivity of [vision correction surgery]."
Dougherty liked the field so much that he has been actively involved in developing new vision correction technologies.
"To see something move from concept, through the clinical development process to utilization, and then see patients, friends and family actually benefit from the technology, that's extremely satisfying, and extremely validating," he says.
Dougherty isn't just an ophthalmic researcher and refractive surgeon — he's also a patient. In January 1997, he was one of the first ophthalmologists in the U.S. to have Lasik performed on his own eyes. His colleagues told him he was crazy, and that he would never operate again. But Dougherty was comfortable with the surgeons, and the process.
However, Dougherty was excited to get rid of his glasses and contact lenses and maintains that it was the best decision about his own health that he's made in his life. He also claims that having the surgery done has helped him build even stronger bonds with his patients.
"Surgeons who have not had this done on their own eyes, what they have to say to patients I don't think really rings true," Dougherty explains. "Whereas when patients ask me about dry eye, they ask me how the procedure was, they ask me about side effects like night halo, I'm able, from a first-hand perspective, to let them know what to expect. I think it's very reassuring for a lot of patients."
Building a foundation
With the passing of his son, Dougherty started the Andrew Dougherty Vision Foundation, a charitable organization that gifts vision correction surgery to patients in the U.S. as well as abroad. Doing so has enabled Dougherty to fulfill one of his passions: exploring new countries and meeting new people. But it has also opened the door to much sadness.
"The tough thing in Haiti was the majority of patients I ended up seeing, there was nothing I could do for them," Dougherty recalls. "They had preventable blindness, typically from glaucoma, and it was heartbreaking. And the most heart-wrenching part of it was telling people, 'You're blind, and there's nothing I can do.'"
But Dougherty was also able to provide much good, gifting vision to those who hadn't seen in years, as well as train local ophthalmologists to carry on the work.
"It was really powerful for the patients that we were able to help see for the first time, sometimes, in years; where they would look around the room, and you could tell that it has been years since they had been able to see," he explains. "But I don't just do the surgery and then take off. I also train some of the doctors. I try to leave that footprint wherever I go."
Breakthrough technology
Dougherty, who is also an assistant clinical instructor of ophthalmology at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute, has been instrumental in the development of the Staar Visian ICL, an implant placed in front of a natural lens but behind the iris, the colored part of the eye, to correct nearsightedness. Because the shape of the eye is not altered, as it is with a Lasik procedure, there are fewer side effects such as glare or halo at night, and loss of contrast.
"Lasik works really well for patients with low degrees with nearsightedness, but when you start pushing Lasik further you're more likely to get side effects," Dougherty explains. "I look at Lasik as a high definition procedure, and Visian ICL is an ultra-high definition procedure, because we're leaving patients with normal corneas and normal eyes. So you just get a better quality of vision. I tell patients to think of it as the beauty of a natural lake versus the beauty of a manmade lake. Manmade lakes are very pretty, but natural lakes are always more beautiful."
The other benefit of the technology is that it's reversible. If a patient isn't satisfied, the implant — which also has a UV blocker, so it works like a pair of sunglasses — can be removed.
Dougherty's work in this area has also prompted a book, See For Yourself (Visionary Press, 2012), which highlights the different procedures available to patients seeking vision correction.
"I published this book to explain to patients that Lasik is not all there is, and it may not be the best option for them," he explains. "I also wrote it to educate people that these procedures are less risky than a pair of contact lenses. Statistically, you take five times the risk of losing vision with a lens-related infection than you do with vision-correction surgery. These are very safe procedures."
Living a double life
Dougherty says he sometimes feels like he is living two lives: his and his son Andrew's. He loves to travel and meet new people, and believes that some of the things he does are things his son might have done himself.
And Dougherty never loses sight of what he is able to give back.
"I think the most rewarding thing I do is being able to gift vision to people, both to those who can afford it and those who cannot afford it," he says. "It's a remarkable experience. Each and every day is fantastic in that I get to see people's lives change by giving them vision."

Many fence companies will just install what you ask for if its proper for your needs or not to make a quick dollar. At Fence Masters Unlimited we strongly believe in taking the time to properly educate you in the different types of Horse Fence Pasture Fence Raleigh NC and its purposes to make sure we install the proper quality products not only to create your fence boundary, but to properly protect your horses for years to come at an affordable cost!
We are readily available to help you with any of the below Wood Horse Fence, Pasture Fence Raleigh NC Electric Horse Fence, Woven Wire Horse Fence styles or any other styles you may be interested in having installed.
To have someone measure your property and receive a free estimate on wood fence click here or you may call 803-235-6846.
Wooden Rail Horse Fence is a traditional variety of Horse Fence and its attractive, relatively inexpensive and properly maintained will last for years to come. The downside is that it requires maintenance upkeep to keep it looking good. If its painted, it requires regular painting every few years or so.
Horses can and will break boards and can run through a wood Horse Fence if spooked if they actually want out bad enough.
Many horse owners use a strand of hot wire on the top rail to discourage pushing on the wood or chewing on it therefore the horse has a tendency to stay several feet away unless you come to pet them etc.
A fast way to improve the look of your farm, few fences have the crispness as vinyl or plastic Horse Fence. It adds horse fence / pasture fence street appeal and increases the value of your property at the same time. Other advantages of vinyl horse fence is that it is highly visible and visually attractive. You can get it in a variety of colors and styles. A huge reason for its popularity is that maintenance of vinyl Horse Fence is almost non-existent. There's no painting required and horses don't chew it so there's no replacing cribbed boards.
Okay, so what are the downsides of using vinyl horse fence / pasture fence? Well, the first obvious negative is that vinyl Horse Fence is expensive. However, there is a bigger negative you need to know about if you're considering vinyl Horse Fence to contain horses.
The problem with using vinyl horse fence as horse fence is that the rails can "pop" out if horses push on them as they are not as sturdy as wood, so by themselves the plastic fences don't hold horses well.
Hot wire in conjunction with the vinyl horse fence works quite well.
The take away lesson: If you have vinyl Horse Fence with horses, run a strand of hot wire on the inside of the top rail if you're planning on running horses in a pasture using vinyl Horse Fence, this is actually a nice combination. The vinyl horse fence / pasture fence provides high visibility and looks and the hot wire discourages horses from pushing or leaning on the boards, thus decreasing the chances that they will pop the boards out. The other option is to use the vinyl Horse Fence in areas where you have redundant fencing so your horses are still contained if they happen to pop some boards out.
Hot wire horse fence is normally used as temporary fencing. We never recommend using electric Horse Fence by itself in a congested area or if you live near a busy road.
If you are needing some temporary cross fencing - which is an ideal use of electric tape Horse Fence - you'll discover pretty quick that its easy to install and very inexpensive. To increase visibility, I'd recommend using one that is at least 2 inches wide. Plan on checking it regularly as it will come down. If you have an abundance of deer they could regularly knock it down not that they will but the chance is there.
Electric horse fence is perfect to help you keep horses out of part of your pasture while you rotate it or seed part of it.
Use caution using it as a sole perimeter horse fence / pasture fence due to low visibility. It works better if used in conjunction with another type of horse fence such as wood rail horse fence or vinyl horse fence. If you do use electric wire fencing, use flagging tape with it to improve visibility.
If you want electric horse fence, but don't have electricity nearby, there are solar electric Horse Fence chargers that work fairly well.
There are many types of wire mesh Horse Fencing. Its relatively inexpensive and probably the most forgiving Horse Fence if a horse runs into it.
The one thing you need to be careful with wire mesh Horse Fence is the size of the mesh openings. Make sure the mesh size you use is small enough to keep hooves out - including small foal hooves if you raise horses.
Wire mesh Horse Fence isn't as visible as some types of Horse Fence, so many horse owners use flagging tape or a wood top rail to improve visibility. If you live in an area where vines are prevalent, wire mesh Horse Fence can turn into a headache. Vines love to grow on wire mesh and it is difficult to remove the vines once they are established in your Horse Fence.
If you've visited your local feed store, you have probably seen the tubular steel round pens on display. Many horse owners use the panels as fencing around the barn. They are easy to install and move around so they provide a lot of flexibility to the horse owner.
They are great to isolate a horse due to injury and restrict activity by moving it to my end stall thereby creating a temporary convalescence paddock. You won't be able to do that with permanent fencing.
Braided wire is durable, low maintenance, and highly visibly horse fence. A couple of downsides are that horses will rub on it.
Braided wire Horse Fence is heavy and needs sturdy posts. For this reason it is often used with steel pipe fencing.
The obvious positive on rubber belt fencing is that it gives if a horse runs into it. The problem with it is that it stretches so you will need to tighten the Horse Fence periodically to keep it snug.
If you live in a rocky mountainous area you are probably familiar with buck and rail fence. This type of fencing is popular in rocky areas because installation doesn't involve digging holes.
Buck and rail Horse Fences are often called wildlife friendly fences as they don't have wire that wildlife can get tangled in.
A buck and rail Horse Fence is a triangular shaped section with rails connecting the two triangular ends. It is attractive Horse Fence and in the right places it is very practical fencing.


Hot Bus tips for Sri Lanka!
Call 1955 for general bus information!
Always have change! Bus journeys can be as little as 9 rupees! Yes, that's NINE rupees. Why not take a bus just for the thrill of spending only nine rupees?
When the bus conductor is yelling "Baina" they mean 'get down'. Its a slang way of saying the Sri Lankan verb 'bahinava'. All they really mean is that the bus is at a stop, get down if you need to. If you'd like to learn Sinhala or Tamil why not try Michael? We did and it was good.
While they are technically only supposed to stop at the designated stops, they will stop anywhere if you ask nicely. And from the street you can (sometimes) hail one own by looking the driver or the conductor in the eye and giving a nod and a wave.
There are a mixture of private and CTB (Government run) busses, as well as AC and non AC. The CTB busses tend to be red in colour, and in colombo at least there are some more modern versions that look like the new London busses, though these are pretty rare at the moment.
If you want to see a list of all the bus routes check out this Wikipedia page which is where we found this colombo bus map. We're adding more routes daily, and will be updating with more tips and information on specific routes, such as Colombo to Jaffna, in the near future.
If you're going surfing in Arugam bay then you might be better off taking one of the private busses, such as the AC bus run by the Al Razith company since they will allow surfboards in the hold of the bus. Always better to call and confirm though! You can view the route and the phone number here.

The Edupunks' Guide: How to Do Research Online The Edupunks' Guide: How to Do Research Online
The Edupunks' Guide: How to Do Research Online
by Anya Kamenetz Dylan C. Lathrop
It's the best of times and the worst of times to be a learner. College tuition has doubled in the past decade, while the options for learning online and independently keep expanding. Anya Kamenetz's new free ebook The Edupunks' Guide is all about the many paths that learners are taking in this new world, and we're running excerpts from the book all week. We're also asking GOOD readers to doodle your learning journey and submit the result by Sunday, September 11.
There's been a revolution in the way people spread knowledge. Sharing information openly over the Internet is way cheaper than purchasing it commercially in dead-tree format, and often the learning that happens this way is faster, more up-to-date, and more relevant to our immediate needs. A simple example is learning to make pizza. A few years ago, you may have had to take a class or at least buy a cookbook. Today you can put "how to make a pizza" into YouTube and within minutes, you're watching a video that shows you how to fling the dough!
More and more people around the world are building on this knowledge revolution to explore new modes of learning and to transform what we mean by "education."
For many, the first step in an online learning journey is a simple Google search.
Start with Google, the most-used search engine on the web. Put your phrase in quotes to return pages with the exact words, like this: "African-American history"
Search on Wikipedia to get an overview of the topic. Follow the links to an article's sources at the bottom of the page.
Google Scholar will give you scholarly journal articles and other verified sources of information.
An online archive like The Internet Archive may offer original source material.
YouTube is good for videos—a quick entry into a topic. Or just Google your phrase and the word "video."
For news stories, try Google News
For links on news, trends, and up-to-the-minute happenings, you can search Twitter with a hashtag, like this: #americanidol.
Try posting your question to a site like OpenStudy or WikiAnswers.
Put in your search terms plus the word "forum" or "blog" to see what ideas other people have discussed on message boards or on blogs.
A successful online research session will leave you with 20 open tabs or windows at the top of your screen. Follow your curiosity, but keep track of the links you're following in an email draft, Word document, or an application like Evernote or Diigo so you can consult them later.

In line with the priority placed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on ties with Sri Lanka in line with the Neighborhood First policy, an intercity train service, using recently given Full AC Diesel Multiple Units (AC DMUs) under Indian loan facility, was launched from Colombo on Sunday.
The train is to run from Colombo (Mount Lavinia) to Kankesanthurai, on the the tip of the Northern Peninsula, where a majority of the Tamil community lives. Participating at the event in Colombo, in the presence of the island nation's Transport Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi, Indian Deputy High Commissioner, Vinod K. Jacob, recalled the recent statement of Indian External Affairs Minister, Dr. S Jaishankar that "India would support Sri Lanka in difficult times" is an affirmation of the Neighborhood First policy in the current context.

He also reiterated High Commissioner Gopal Baglay's emphasis on mutually beneficial cooperation that facilitates people to people exchanges. The launch at Colombo's main railway station took place while elsewhere in the capital, Chinese Foreign Minister and State Councillor Wang Yi met President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and assured "China will continue to do its best to provide all the necessary help and support to Sri Lanka".
He was visiting Sri Lanka to mark the 65th anniversary of bilateral ties between the two nations. Colombo was Wang's last destination of his visit to five strategic cities in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from Africa to Asia. At the train launch, the Transport Minister thanked India for steadfast support to Sri Lanka over the years, including during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
An Indian High Commission statement said Deputy High Commissioner Jacob also has reiterated that during the current year, the Indian side is "keen to upgrade the bilateral engagement". It said the AC DMUs supplied under an Indian Line of Credit by Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) would help facilitate quicker travel between the Western Province and the Northern Province.

"The supply of AC DMUs is just one of the many Railway projects being undertaken by India in Sri Lanka. There are also other ongoing projects, which include supply of passenger coaches byRITES under an Indian Line of Credit. RITES has already supplied 120 of the 160 coaches under this project. Another Indian Company, IRCON is executing a project for Up-gradation of railway tracks between Maho-Anuradhapura-Omanthai," it said.
Severely affected by the dollar crunch and debt burden, Sri Lanka is awaiting financial support of around $1.9 billion from India. The total financial support included $400 million swap, a $500 million line of credit for the purchase of oil, and a $1 billion credit line for purchases of essential commodities including food and medicine.
"India's total development portfolio in Sri Lanka is over $3.5 billion, of which around $570 million are purely grant projects. Modernisation of railways and creation of new railway infrastructure have been important sectors of focus under the Indian government's development portfolio in Sri Lanka, in line with the priority of the government and people of Sri Lanka," the Indian HC statement said.

SL sees tourism boom
Despite the island nation's borders being closed for many months due to the health crisis, 194,495 visitors arrived, with almost a quarter of them coming from India, according to the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA).
India led the list with 56,268 visitors, followed by Russia (16,268) and the United Kingdom (16,646), Germany (12,442), Ukraine (7,037), France (6,549), the United States (6,124), Kazakhstan (5,754), Canada (5,079), and China (5,079), according to the SLTDA (2,417).
After two waves of Covid-19, Sri Lanka's tourism was severely harmed by the pandemic's third wave in April 2021.
However, being one of the world's top tourist attractions, Sri Lanka rapidly opened up to visitors, and a variety of promotions were developed as a result.
SriLankan Airlines started a 'Buy One, Get One Free Ticket' promotion for Indian tourists in order to attract more visitors from the neighbouring country.
The airlines also began flying to Chennai and Mumbai on a weekly basis, as well as Bengaluru, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, Trivandrum, and Cochin.

The government opened its borders to fully vaccinated travellers in August 2021, and the necessary on-arrival PCR testing were withdrawn the following month.
The 2019 Easter Sunday attacks targeting Christian churches and five-star hotels in April 2019, which killed almost 250 people, including foreigners, dealt a major blow to Sri Lanka's tourist sector, which is the third greatest source of foreign income.
In October 2019, the country, which was named Lonely Planet's number one travel destination, planned to welcome 2.5 million tourists, up from 2.3 million in 2018.
Roughly 2019, Sri Lanka welcomed nearly 1.9 million tourists, bringing in $3.5 billion.
As the epidemic spread, the industry took a hit in 2020, with the number of people affected dropping to 570,000.

The NHL is still more than a week away from determining a return-to-play format, a person familiar with discussions tells The Associated Press.
And what that plan resembles could be complicated further should the U.S. and Canada extend border restrictions to non-essential travel into July.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced border restrictions will stay in effect through June 21.
In a separate development, the NHL Players' Association executive board voted to defer the final payment of players' regular season salaries through the end of May.
Players were owed their final checks on April 15.

What Are Some Hard Skills in the Restaurant Business?
By Fred Decker

Important Financial Reports for a Restaurant Business

What Employees Do You Need for a Bakery?
A Skill Set for a Successful Sole Proprietorship
Chefs and restaurateurs work in a notoriously tough business, with long hours, slender profits and a high failure rate. Whether the restaurant is an independent establishment or a franchise in a national chain, it balances the demands of food preparation with those of running a viable business. This requires a combination of both "hard" and "soft" skills.
Hard Skills vs. Soft Skills
In business circles, discussion of hard and soft skills has nothing to do with their relative difficulty. Hard skills, like the hard sciences, deal in things that can be quantified, demonstrated or trained. Soft skills are intangibles such as an ability to manage employees, minimize conflict or make a customer feel welcome and appreciated. Both hard and soft skills are necessary to the success of a restaurant.
Kitchen Skills
A commercial kitchen requires the exercise of a wide range of hard skills, from basic knife skills to advanced baking or sauce-making techniques. However, cooking represents only a small number of the hard skills in the kitchen. Cooks and chefs are also responsible for maintaining food safety during preparation, cleaning and maintaining their production equipment, and having at least a rudimentary grasp of first aid and wound treatment. The chef must also be able to plan dishes, menus and kitchen staffing.
Controlling the Supply Chain
Maintaining control of the restaurant's supply chain combines another crucial set of hard skills. The chef or one of the establishment's management team must maintain accurate records of its inventory levels, ordering fresh ingredients and dry goods as needed to support the restaurant's sales. Running out of ingredients is frustrating for cooks and diners alike, and can damage a restaurant's reputation. On the other hand, stocking too much inventory ties up needed capital and can lead to waste. Orchestrating deliveries from multiple suppliers to maintain a suitable level of inventory is fundamental to a restaurant's success.
Managing the Business
Many brilliant chefs are unable to succeed at the helm of their own restaurant because they don't understand the need for hard business skills. These include the nuts and bolts of business management, such as accounting, budgeting, ensuring compliance with municipal regulations, and many similar functions. These unglamorous tasks are often derided as "bean-counting" by impatient entrepreneurs, but they're vital. Profit margins are thin throughout the restaurant industry, and paying close attention to the bottom line can make the difference between success and failure.

Feathered Menace: Wild Turkeys Threatening Suburbia
These wild birds are tough customers, so don't show weakness, says one expert.
By ALAN FARNHAM
Hold the cranberries! Behaving like feathered thugs, gangs of wild turkeys are invading suburbia, menacing pets and children, damaging property, giving the bird to cops.
Nov. 18, 2013 -- They chase and frighten people, block roads and cause motorcyclists and bicyclists to crash--sometimes fatally. Then, adding insult to injury, they poop on your lawn.
They are wild turkeys—the birds Ben Franklin so admired that he wanted them to be America's national symbol, rather than the eagle. Oh, if Ben could only see them now.
Wildlife officials in virtually every state tell the same tale: Decades ago, wild turkeys were an endangered novelty. Then, partly due to the efforts of state wildlife departments to save them, they got a leg up. Now, by one estimate, there are in excess of 6 million of them nationally.
Boston Magazine reports that in the city's suburbs turkeys "strut around in gangs." In recent years, says the magazine, "ill-tempered turkeys have attacked cars, cops and plate-glass windows with disastrous results."
Aggressive turkeys menace Massachusetts neighborhood
Dave Scarpitti, a wildlife biologist for Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife ("I guess you could call me coordinator of all things turkey," he tells ABC News), says birds in the wild were taken to new wilderness locations to breed. "They have expanded beyond what we ever would have thought. They are versatile, adaptive and very successful at breeding. Thirty years ago, fish and wildlife departments never expected turkeys would proliferate to the point that they're invading populated areas."
It's when a group of turkeys (a "rafter," in wildlife parlance) invade a town or suburb that interspecies conflicts arise and feathers start to fly.
These are not the kind of turkeys one finds inside a Swanson dinner. The males ("toms") are formidable creatures that stand 4 feet tall and weigh 25 pounds. Wingspans measure 6 feet. They have bony, knifelike spurs above their ankles, the better to carve up an opponent, including you. They're smart and learn from experience.
Their intelligence helps determine their stance toward humans, says Scarpitti: A bird that tries to intimidate a human being and succeeds will then be more likely to try intimidation again. For that reason, Scarpitti advises that if you're strolling down a sidewalk and encounter an aggressive tom who declines to move, you should show him who's boss.
Do not back down; do not walk around the bird. Confront it directly, he advises; yell, wave your arms, shoo it out of your way. Whatever you do, don't turn and run. The turkey will interpret that for what it is--proof that you are weak—and will chase you.
Or peck you--hard. "There's a hierarchy among turkeys," says Scarpitti, "a pecking order of sorts: birds peck each other to assert their dominance."
They can peck hard enough to break glass: A turkey that sees itself reflected in a window will peck the window, believing it to be another bird. It's rare, says Scarpitti, for a bird to break a window. "But they're capable of it, if they got a running go at it."
Thanksgiving dinner for rescued turkeys
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that last year a rafter of wild turkeys tried muscling its way onto a schoolyard in Glendale, Wis. At the Parkway Elementary School, teachers and staff had to defend students from an aggressive male who tried to chase the children. He stood around the school's front door and refused to move. "We chased him off with a red chair," the school's principal told the paper.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, a Benicia bicyclist died from injuries sustained in a crash when a flock of turkeys ran in front of him, according to the Vallejo Times Herald. The paper also reports that a motorcyclist crashed but survived when a turkey flew into him (they can fly, say wildlife experts at up to 55 miles an hour).
Dramatic as these examples may be, says Scarpitti, damage inflicted by turkeys more often takes the form of gardens rooted up or despoiled by droppings.

Scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating evidence, planning investigative work and recording and analysing data. The Scientific enquiry objectives underpin Biology, Chemistry and Physics, which are focused on developing confidence and interest in scientific knowledge. Environmental awareness and some history of science are also incorporated. The Cambridge Primary Science curriculum framework provides a solid foundation upon which the later stages of education can be built.
The Science curriculum provides a comprehensive set of progressive learning objectives from Kindergarten 2 to Grade 5. The objectives detail what the learner should know or what they should be able to do in each grade level of Elementary education. The learning objectives provide a structure for teaching and learning and a reference against which learners' ability and understanding can be checked. The learning objectives are distributed to all parents at the beginning of the year.
The ever-increasing impact of ICT on teaching and learning is an important consideration in education at all levels. Through ICT, there are greater opportunities for interactive communication and exchange of information through global collaboration, authentic learning, expansion of the learning community and empowerment for all learners.
To support this vision, JWA has strategically created a wealth of technology services, resources and tools. All students have access to grade level or personal laptops / desktops, as well as other shared resources that include iPads, digital cameras, video equipment, scanners, copier/print services and current software applications. Flexible library timetabling provides a flexible learning model implemented to meet the technology needs of teachers and students – anytime, anywhere.
A specialist ICT Integrator (teacher) contributes to the flexibility of this model attending the homeroom and providing in-class sessions or opportunities within a specialist classroom setting. Based on the learning needs and tasks, small or large group teaching options are used.
The following six ICT skills are relevant to all learners: investigating, creating, communicating, collaborating, organizing and becoming responsible digital citizens. Each skill is transdisciplinary and will support learning within the subject areas. These skills interact with each other to support the development of learners.
Investigating is to carry out a purposeful inquiry or research, to test existing understanding, discover new information and create new understanding.
Creating learners construct meaning, apply critical thinking and original ideas to real-world situations, and share knowledge through self-expression, problem solving, and reflection.
Communicating is the exchange of information with various audiences using a range of media and formats.
Collaborating learners are empowered through digital media and environments and through active participation in creating and sharing knowledge.
Organizing learners make connections, transfer existing knowledge and independently explore new technologies.

Developing effective treatments for obesity and related metabolic disease remains a challenge. One logical strategy targets the appetite-regulating actions of gut hormones such as incretins. One of these incretins, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), has garnered much attention as a potential target: however, whether it is beneficial to boost or block the action of GIP to promote weight loss remains an unresolved question. In this issue of the JCI, Kaneko and colleagues show that antagonizing GIP signaling in the CNS enhances the weight-reducing effects of leptin in rodents with diet-induced obesity. The authors posit that an increase in circulating intestinally derived GIP, as a consequence of overnutrition, acts in the brain to impair hypothalamic leptin action, resulting in increased food intake and body weight gain. This research advances the idea that multiple GIP signaling pathways and mechanisms exist in the obese state and offers intriguing insights into the antiobesogenic consequences of antagonizing brain GIP action.
