“Early morning, what has happened?
Don’t know why I feel like im walking in air
New morning, new place
I feel like I am taking new directions in a different way.
Have I started to view things differently?
Or has the scenery before my eyes changed?
Or am i really walking the dreams I dreamt?
Early morning, what has happened?
Don’t know why I feel like im walking in air
New morning, new place
Looking at things with a fresh new approach
These humming clouds, the smiling breeze
Im walking with the world indeed
Whatever is in now, simply live it
Whatever you had has been lived, the intoxication has been consumed
And tommorrow’s intoxication is eagerly waiting for you, don’t waste it
So drink in every moment and fulfill your heart
Early morning, what has happened?
Don’t know why I feel like im walking in air
New morning, new air
Taking new directions in a different way
Early morning, what has happened?
Don’t know why I feel like im walking in air
New morning, new place
Taking new directions in a different way
These humming clouds, the smiling breeze
I am indeed walking with the world now…”

It’s an all time favourite  song in my language. A kind of loose translation but it speaks for itself.

So its winters and I am in my happy mode. I am more cheerful than needed. I am more hopeful than ever. I love winters and the fact of getting up early and enjoying sometime for myself.
It feels good, this phase. It feels you are untouchable by anything below happiness. I feel very impulsive at this phase that I am ready to do anything that I usually would hesitate to do so.

My very good best friend has left and she’ll be missed but for the first im not miserable cuz its all cloudy and cool out here.

Funny thing I don’t need hot coffee or hot tea to open up my eyes during winters. The fact that its gonna be cloudy the moment I set my eyes on my bedroom window is enough to boost me up! Two hours on the highway with my iPod while i stare at the clouds and its cool shade on the road…sigh…wow!

 And finally from tommorrow my uni has started so I just can’t wait to get back and live a normal life! Cheers! And Oh its snowing in houston! HA! The world is going crazy aint it? But I still prefer middle east winters, they always take you by surprise after long hot summers!

CLIMATE :

 As discussed above, generation of heat is a function  of  gravity, which in turn depends on mass. As long as the mass of the earth is constant, the quantity of geothermal energy produced is also constant. Initially, heat is transferred to the  seas and, thence, to the atmospheric H2O, and  ultimately to the outer  space, when the latent heat is   released on formation of water droplets which form clouds. Simultaneously, heat is being radiated continuosly from the surface of the earth ,both land and sea, as the outer space is considerably cooler  than the earth.

The heat generated by the earth is converted into kinetic energy in a big way, when ocean currents are working round the clock. The volume of water involved in this process  is thousands of times  more than that of  all the rivers of the world.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes  etc. also eat up considerable quantity of geothermal energy. Diffusion of water in the seas takes place continuously because of hot bottom and cool Polar regions. Part of the energy is also used up by cyclones, tornados etc. (the circumstances in which these are caused by hot steam emanating from the seas will be discussed in BUT-Volume III).

If the total quantity of geothermal energy is T, the energy converted into kinetic form is K and heat lost by radiation R,

T – K – R = the net increase or decrease in the warmth of the globe

From the table given below, it is clear that during the last 200 years there has not been any appreciable change in the warmth of the globe.

For a proper study of this subject, a distinction has to be made between the temperature of the earth and the temperature of the atmosphere. The latitude-mean temperature graph fairly represents the temperature of the earth, as the sea surface is not much affected by weather conditions. On the other hand, land stations will be subjected to violent fluctuations in the weather like extreme summers and winters, especially if the stations are much above the sea level.

The land mass contains lakes, surface soil water, water chambers, sub-terrainian water channels etc. which retain considerable quantity of water. Because of the peculiar structure of the H20 molecule, heat is retained in water for a longer period than other materials. This is the reason why summer extends much beyond the date 21^st June in the northern hemisphere. In the absence of water on the earth the peak temperature will end on that day and we may experience pleasant weather by August. Similarly, but for snow and the water layers lying just below the surface of the earth, the winter will start waning right from 21^st December.

In spite of these differences, data in respect of land stations, too, prove my contention that the globe is not warming!

When we look back

“It is an inquiry of some interest, whether the general temperature of the globe is stable, or is gradually undergoing change through diminution or addition. We have no means of deciding this point, because our thermometrical determinations are confined to a comparatively modern date. The instrument was not brought to perfection until the year 1724, by Fahrenheit, and therefore beyond that period we are dependent upon the recorded experience and sensations of observers, and upon the details of agricultural failure or success, for our knowledge of temperature in former times. We are not warranted to infer from these casual notices any changes of physical climate generally within the era of authentic history, though in particular localities, there is strong reason to suppose that an alteration has taken place; but this has been the very reverse of an impressions that once prevailed respecting it. The existence of a colony on the east coast of Greenland cut off from communication with the external world, and destroyed by the gradual accumulation of the ice upon its shores –the fact of immense forests anciently clothing the highest parts of Britain, and other northern countries, where a tree now can scarcely be made to grow –of the period of the vintage formerly commencing several weeks earlier in France than at present-of vineyards having been planted in the south of England during the time that the Romans held possession of the island, where hops can only be raised with difficulty- and of the sides of the Scottish hills bearing evident traces of the plough, which have long been surrendered to the heaths as incapable of cultivation;-these circumstances have been appealed to, as evidence of a milder and more genial climate having once characterized the northern regions of Europe. Sir John Leslie has remarked upon these details, “that a patch of wood will not thrive in cold situations, merely for want of the shelter which is afforded by extensive plantations. In Sweden and Norway, which are mostly covered with natural forests, it has become an object of police to prevent their indiscriminate destruction. The timber in those sylvan countries is cut at stated periods of its growth, and in detached portions; the vacant spaces being left as nurseries, embosomed amidst an expanse of tall trees.  Some places in Sweden, where the forests have been accidentally destroyed by fire, present the image of sterility, and of wide desolation. It is probable, the vines grown in ancient times were coarser and hardier plants than those which are now cultivated. A similar observation extends to all the productions of gardening. A succession of diligent culture softens the character of the vegetable tribes, and renders them more delicate, while it heightens the flavor of their fruits. The Roman soldiers stationed in Britain would naturally prefer wine, their accustomed beverage, however harsh and poor, to the cervisia, or unpalatable ale brewed by the rude arts of the natives. The marks of tillage left on our northern hills evince only the wretched state of agriculture at a remote period. For want of a proper system of rotation, and the due application of manure, the starving tenantry were then tempted to tear up with the plough every virgin spot they could find, and after extracting from it  a pitiful crop or two of oats, to abandon it to a lasting sterility”. With reference to the colony supposed to have been planted on the east coast of Greenland, now an uninhabitable region of glaciers, there is reason to believe that its name, Oestre Bydg, the eastern settlement, simply refers to its position in relation to another settlement, both of which were on the western coast, now occupied by the Danish factories. From the name of Snowland, afterwards supplanted by that of Iceland, given by the roving pirates of the Baltic to that island upon its discovery in the ninth century, it may certainly be concluded that the climate of the north was then analogous to what it is at present.

A different opinion, that the climate of the midland part of the temperate zone, especially in Europe, is less rigorous now than it was sixteen or seventeen centuries ago, appears to be supported by sufficient evidence. After making allowances for inaccuracy and exaggeration in the statements of the classical writers, they will still be found descriptive of a cold in various districts, as a feature of the ordinary temperature, which is not realized at present. The epistles written by Ovid from Pontus, whither he was banished by order of Augustus, describe the rigour of the climate there, in terms which suit the winder of Hudson’s Bay. He mentions, among other instances of the extreme cold, The Euxine Sea being frozen over, so as to bear men and cattle upon it. Tertullian, one of the Christian fathers in the second century, writing in the style of the fierce zealot and florid rhetorician, against the herectic Marcion, thus refers to the same region:- “That tract, which is called the Pontus Euxinus, the hospitable sea, has been refused all favours, and is mocked by its very name. The day is never open, the sun never shines willingly, there is but one atmosphere- fog; the whole year is wintry; every wind that blows comes from the north; liquors are only such before the fire; the rivers are blocked up with ice, the mountains are heaped higher with snow; all things are benumbed, all things are stiff with cold, nothing but cruelty has there the warmth of life; that kind of cruelty, I mean, which has supplied the stage with fables concerning the sacrifices of the Tauri, and the loves of Colchis, and the tortures of Caucasus. But there is nothing so barbarous and miserable in Pontus, as that it has given birth to Maricion; he is more savage than a Scythian, more unstable than the wild inhabitants of a wagon, more inhuman than the Massageta, more audacious than the Amazon, darker than the mist, colder than the winter, more brittle than the ice, more treacherous than the Danube, more precipitous than Caucasus”. Virgil refers to the winter on the banks of the Ister of the Greeks, the modern Danube, in the third Georgic, in a manner which at present is inapplicable to any part of its course:-

“ The sun from far peeps with a sickly face,Too weak, the clouds and mighty fogs to chase,

When up the skies he shoots his rosy head,

Or in the ruddy ocean seeks his bed.

Swift rivers are with sudden ice constrain’d

And studded wheels are on its back sustain’d;

A hostry now for wagons, which before

Tall ships of burden on its bosom bore,

The brazen cauldrons with the frost are flaw’d.

The garment, stiff with ice, at hearths is thaw’d.

With axes first they cleave the wine; and thence

By weight, the solid portions they dispense.

From locks uncomb’d, and from the frozen beard,

Long icicles depend, and crackling sounds are heard.

Meantime perpetual sleet, and driving snow,

Obscure the skies, and hang on heards below.

The starving cattle perish in their stalls;

Huge oxen stand enclos’d in wintry walls

Of snow congeal’d; Whole heards are buried there

Of mighty stags, and scarce their horns appear.

The dexterous huntsman wounds not these afar

With shafts or darts, or makes a distant war

With dogs, or pitches toils to stop their flight,

But close engages in unequal fight;

And, while they strive in vain to make their way

Through hills of snow, and pitifully bray,

Assaults with dint of sword, or pointed spears,

And homeward on his back the joyful burden bears.

The men to subterranean caves retire,

Secure from cold, and crowd the cheerful fire:

With trunks of elms and oaks the hearth they load,

Nor tempt th’ inclemency of heaven abroad.”

The allusions to the climate of Itay in the Georgics, referring to the Augustan age, are in several respects irreconcilable with its present character. The writer speaks of the freezing of the rivers in the southern part of the peninsula as an ordinary occurrence, and gives frequent directions for the protection of sheep and goats from snow and frost, as if addressing a shepherd of the plains of Holstein or the highlands of Scotland. It is a well-attested fact, that the savage inhabitants of Gaul and Germany usually selected the winter-season for their warlike incursions into the Roman provinces, on account of the facility afforded by the ice for the transport of their armies, horses and baggage, across the grate rivers, which have never been frozen in modern times as to admit of such an occurrence. In the time of Ceasar, also, the rein-deer, now confined to the colder regions north of the Baltic, was found, along with the elk and the wild bull, in the Hercynian forest, which then over-shadowed a grate part of Germany and Poland. A volume published at Vienna in 1788, contains some remarkable passages concerning the state of the weather for more than a thousand years back, gathered from the old chronicles, which detail the state of the harvest, the quality of the vintage, or the endurance of frost and snow in the winter. From this work, Sir John Leslie, in an article furnished to one of the public journals, quoted the following record of excessive winters and summers, to which some additions have been made.”

      In the next instalment – TEMPERATURE  DATA

Imagine being able to explore the recess of the outer space and being able to land on the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and even be able to communicate with those back home on Earth. Just think about the possibilities of learning whether there are other forces of life on these planets and the solar system.

What endless amount of knowledge we could bring back rocks, minerals, chemicals and more at our laboratories here on Earth to help us produce energy,electricity, solar energy and even for different fuel a car without using gas or oil. Imagine creating and building a spaceship sailboat that you can get and a whole crew to Mars and beyond, in a period of time. Well, do not think this over. Just read solar sea by David Summers and this and more on space and the possibility of new, faster and more extensive space travel will be yours.

On board this amazing flight of the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, we find a groupscientists, astronauts, the NASA officer, naval officers, biologists, linguists and others. We've even added an extra bonus added to the mystery of this flight and what is the real purpose of it could be Alonzo Thomas Quinn has established a separate character for himself unknown to anyone, including his father's head Quinn Corp., the company that finances the trip in outer space. Thomas Quinn has decided to build this spaceship when it was a small child. His father, Jerome, never reallytook it seriously and did not realize this was the man who was in charge or the driver for this trip into space.

NASA has been dissolved and humans have settled on the Moon. A technician of the Very Large Array, a radio telescope in New Mexico, made a discovery that changes everything. He discovers that powerful particle in orbit around the moon of Saturn, Titan. Hoping that this could be a new source of energy because oil has become virtually nonexistent on Earth, QuinnCorp. decides to find out what is really there and more.

We all know that whales have their own distinct voice. Upon this discovery on particles in orbit around Saturn is made, the whales around the Earth change their songs at night.

Assembling a group of top scientists and the most competent, biologists, linguists, astronauts and more Thomas Quinn built a solar sail spacecraft to find these particles in the orbit of Titan. Jonathan Jefferson astronauts that landed on Mars, NatalieFreeman navy captain, Myra Lee, a biologist whose main specialty is understanding Whale Communications, his assistant Lisa, John O'Connell, the technician who discovered the particles together form a tour of the solar system and what they find forever change their lives.

Thomas Quinn Alonzo is the brain behind the trip. His main concern is to learn more about the particles that he called Chrontons to learn what they could do for humanity. But things do not goas planned and the lives of many are endangered and the mission takes a turn at the end that keeps you wanting more. Of extraterrestrial beings who can teach us a thing or two about space and its vast wonders, to be rescued by strangers where the sailboat is inoperable David Lee Summers takes the reader in suspense until you turn the last page.

Throughout the book Myra Lee and his assistant to work out what whales are saying and who they are communicatingwith. You will have read this amazing novel and exciting to discover the answers. Did she know what the whales are there? What significance does this have on the outcome of the trip and foreigners, who they meet? What is the destiny Thomas Quinn and what lessons can we learn from foreigners in this book and more?

This book gets five gold stars and five BRAND NEW ARISTACHUS to navigate more.

Fran Lewis Review

Australia, the eye-catching island continent is out of this world comprising natural and amazing things, soggy woodlands, well-off lowlands, desolate tracts and peaks, subterranean blue seashores as well as deep-seas. The small islands in addition to beaches and golden sands create an impact on the viewers that can never be deleted. Planning a trip to Australia is worth its weight in gold. You have more sights to please your eyes, cuisines to convince your taste buds and much more.

Summers in Australia is given a face-lift with tulips and vivacious mind blowing flowers and greenery. Sydney is an anchorage metropolis located in the south-east coast of Australia. It is the popular day-tripper objective in Australia. Whoever visits Australia never fails to spot this good-looking city. Sydney is an unavoidable segment in your trip to Australia. The reasons are many like the immense services including the celebrated opera house, the anchorage viaduct, the Rocks, astounding buildings, style, painting and well-off cuisines. In view of the fact that the metropolis is positioned on the right of the Pacific Ocean, what is more when it has cooled plugged sun-drenched beaches to put forward for an enormous folks holiday or recreation time. Sydney opera house can be never left out while the travel through Australia. This amusement house is a synonym for loveliness as well as value. It is in all ways a dwelling to sculpture, boogie, melody and the theatre planet. The consignment is an enlightening and art heaven of Australia along with many legacy sites.

Great Barrier Reef is an extra traveler pull of Australia, a perfect place for adventure lovers and sight seers. Reef suggests you jet travel; snorkel, surfing and scuba submerge. Travelers and callers can until the end of time acquire a helicopter journey to get pleasure from the sheer size of the Great Barrier Reef.

Melbourne, the well-known place for its structural design from Victorian era, is an enriching conurbation acknowledged for its good looks, colonnades, backyards and museums. You cannot place apart Melbourne for anything, it means, the place is an all-in-one spot for tourists. Commencing spectator sports to daintiness of well-to-do cooking, this metropolitan has the whole lot. Again, the Royal Botanic Gardens is equipped with incredible sceneries, rejuvenating plant life and graphic prettiness of the conurbation in this traveler appeal. The Colonial museum is positioned on the college avenue of Sydney. It is undeniably a grand approach to benefit from your holiday in Australia.

A trip to Australia is a huge combination of fun, pleasure, beauty and information. No other country in this world will be able to bestow all goodness Australia has. Like the kids can take pleasure in the house of anthropology a museum cum recreational center. Though the summers are pretty cool, the best period to be in this country is during the September and October. Even the resorts are lively during the summers with music and magic.
A land of exquisiteness emotionally involved to traditional as well as modern classiness. An unforgettable trip to the PARADISE!!!

“There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.”

Filmmaker Federico Fellini is quoted as saying that, words that really capture how I feel about life & the world, & all verdens ting;
the pun was not lost on my own little corner of the universe as a teenager, which I referred to as my “green room”, & was painted a dark shade of green the summer I was 16,
now I’m in the middle of being 21 & taking film classes in Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S.A.

neoclassical macro model

Lawrence Summers and Paul Krugman are in substantial agreement about how labor markets can and should operate in the normal workings of capitalism: supply and demand determine wages and the amount of employment.

As Krugman writes,

in normal times there’s something to be said for American-style “free to lose” labor markets, in which employers can fire workers at will but also face few barriers to new hiring.

The only difference between them is right now, when capitalism is in crisis and unemployment is growing. Krugman suggests the desirability of a New-Deal-style employment program (like the W.P.A. and the Civilian Conservation Corps) and/or “policies that support private-sector employment” (such as labor rules that discourage firing to financial incentives for companies that either add workers or reduce hours to avoid layoffs). Summers, for his part,  said in a recent interview that the stimulus package is working just fine and workers can just go screw themselves:

It may be desirable to have a given amount of work shared among more people. But that’s not as desirable as expanding the total amount of work.

This profile of Larry Summers by Vanity Fair provides a solid profile of the man behind curtain. Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors will not be Summer’s last job. If we’re going to try and understand the current economic policies, especially those about the bail-out, health-care reform, etc, we need to understand the motivations and aspirations behind the man in the drivers seat.

I have called it the Summers Cemetery although it is a solitary stone.

Directions are:  Turn left on to Big Spring Road from Highway 41 to Manchester.  Then turn right onto Arnold Road.  The stone is located on the left about 1/4 mile down

Someone had recently cut bushes and trees from around the stone is the only reason I saw it.  It may have grown up again since then.

The National Archives

I was wrong to be so pessimistic, it seems!  I did indeed get back to the National Archives before my trip back north for university, although unfortunately this did not result in much genealogical success.

I was armed with all of the information I had on the relatives in question, including record references, print outs of medal cards, all of my relevant genealogy notes, new information freshly in my mind from having pestered relatives on the phone the night before, and yet after a few hours searching on the computers for Charles Farquharson Barclay and James Barclay in every variation conceivable, I had to admit defeat.  Certainly I was at the time lacking some information relatives have since returned to me with (such as James Barclay having served with the Scot’s Greys) , but I could not find a single file I could say was the person I was looking for.

I then turned to the microfilm readers to try and see if I had any luck searching for Carlos Alick Souter.  Again, I searched for every variation I could think of, looking for him under Charles, Charlie, Carl, Carlos, Alick – but alas, still no luck.

Determined for my second trip to the National Archives to be more successful than my last one, I decided to make the most of access to the 1901 census.  The Scottish records are simply transcriptions, so widely open to error, but it was information I wouldn’t be able to see for weeks at best anyway, so I went for it  With the amount of luck I’d had thus far that day, I started with the relative my family keep refering to as our “lucky charm” – Ann Summers – because records relating to her often find their way into our hands far more often than any others!

The following information is probably of no use to anyone other than those sharing branches in my family tree, but I shall copy it out anyway:

a fifth season have i known

altogether unique yet of pure blood

for in her contains all the longings,

accusation, and imperfections of the rest

her storehouse contains, as in one,

the joys and pains of summers perfected

also she moves about with that forgetful

and serene gaze of falls spent trained upon a flute

those gentle winds of felicity do lace her very being

winters freely board with her also as evidenced by

the forbidding and tried stares she occasions even now

in her also are the blossoming seeds of regeneration

as daily she dies only to awaken

and this in vigor and youthful beauty

now if any still inquire as to who this fifth be

do take a care to examine even yourself

for in all men is contained all the four

acknowledged seasons – man maketh the fifth

MR. GEITNER, MR. SUMMERS AND OTHERS WHO ARE ON THE ECONOMIC TEAM DESERVE some CREDIT FOR BRINGING US BACK FROM AN ECONOMIC PRECIPICE THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DEPRESSION FAR DEEPER AND LONGER THAN THE GREAT DEPRESSION. AND THEY SHOULD BE CUT SOME SLACK BECAUSE THEY WERE HANDED A PLATE ON WHICH THE ECONOMY WAS BASED LARGELY ON VAPOR — THE CONTRACTION OF WHICH WILL SPELL DISASTER IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

THAT SAID, THEY ARE GOING TOO FAR IN PROTECTING INVESTMENT BANKS AND DEPOSITORY BANKS FROM THEIR OWN STUPIDITY AND ENCOURAGING BEHAVIOR THAT THE TAXPAYERS WILL ABSORB — AT LEAST THEY THINK THE TAXPAYERS WILL DO IT.

As the following article demonstrates, the model currently used in this country and dozens of other countries  is “pay to play” — and if there is a crash it is the fees the banks paid over the years that bails them out instead of the taxpayers.

For reasons that I don’t think are very good, the economic team is marginalizing Volcker and headed down the same brainless path we were on when Bush was in office, which was only an expansion of what happened when Clinton was in office, which was a “me too” based upon Bush #1 and Reagan. The end result is no longer subject to conjecture — endless crashes, each worse than the one before.

The intransigence of Wall Street and the economic team toward any meaningful financial reform adds salt to the wound we created in the first palce. We were fortunate that the rest of the world did not view the economic meltdown as an act of war by the United States. They are inviting us to be part of the solution and we insist on being part of the problem.

Sooner or later, the world’s patience is going to wear thin. Has anyone actually digested the fact that there is buyer’s run on gold now? Does anyone care that the value of the dollar is going down which means that those countries, companies and individuals who keep their wealth in dollars are dumping those dollars in favor of diversifying into other units of storage?

The short-term “advantage” will be more than offset by the continuing joblessness and homelessness unless we take these things seriously. Culturally, we are looking increasingly barbaric to dozens of countries that take their role of protecting the common welfare seriously.

Bottom Line on these pages is that it shouldn’t be so hard to get a judge to realize that just because the would-be forecloser has a big expensive brand name doesn’t mean they are anything better than common thieves. But like all theft in this country, the bigger you are the more wiggle room you get when you rob the homeless or a bank or the government or the taxpayers. Marcy Kaptur is right. She calls for a change of “generals”  (likening Obama’s situation to Lincoln),  since their skills were perhaps valuable when Obama first tackled the economic crisis — but now are counterproductive. We need new generals on the economic team that will steer us clear from the NEXT crisis not the LAST crisis.

Please take a moment to enjoy this thought provoking reflection on the role of technology in education. This article contains my thoughts on the National Middle School Conference 2009 and its potential impact on 21st century learning and technology. It covers some of the featured speakers along with thoughts,  links, and videos to allow you to investigate.  I guarantee you there are priceless links in this posting!

I also want to recognize Mr. Alan Summers and his complete conference team from the NMSA for what will be remembered as an outstanding conference. The Indiana contribution from IMLEA was also evident along with the constant enthusiasm at their welcome area!

I also want to thank all of you for visiting this site and helping it grow. The wiki/blog have attracted close to 6000 unique visitors in about three short months of existence. It has now reached all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 47 foreign countries. Your thoughts, reflections, emails, and invites to the network are so appreciated. Please visit the companion 21centuryedtech wiki for even more resources - Mike

A conference is always what you make of it. Since I am an avid technology conference attender, I decided to check out the technology message at the NMSA09 Conference in Indianapolis. I did not even have to attend a session to get my first taste. After strolling through the vendor area I found the 21 st Century Classroom filled with modern technology along with real teachers and students conducting lessons. Imagine not just lecturing about educational transformation, but creating the real experience for all to see. It is awesome to see that NMSA  takes the time to model what it also advocates.

The NMSA09 Conference had close to 500 sessions with featured keynote speakers of national prominence accounting for many of these. The featured speakers and keynotes I  attended  included Will Daggett, Daniel Pink, and Alan November. As I listened to the three it was evident that the common theme appeared to be empathy, awareness, and creativity was needed for real transformation to happen.

Will Daggett opened with a reminder fto teachers that they really are part of the best educational system in the world. After all, the United States is one of the few countries that attempts to educate all children.  United States schools are involved in a constant battle between excellence and equity. This is a difficult line to walk, but one the United States must continue to engage in.  His constant theme revolved around the idea “Relevance makes Rigor Possible”, a phrase he coined. Daggett then emphasized that U.S. students need to be made aware of the social/economic change happening in the global community. He stressed this need for awareness as he emphasized that today’s students are in a battle for future jobs, and they do not even know it, because no one is teaching them.  The new technology he demonstrated was awesome including both the siftable chip, a new technology manipulative, and SPOT (Smart Personal Object Technology) which allows for even more computing portability due to a virtual keyboard and a virtual monitor that are both beamed using laser technology. In fact, I did some research and found there is already a portable video projector for the iPhone. Be sure to also check out this virtual laser keyboard!   Daggett then listed five concepts in learning which included: knowledge of one discipline, application of one discipline, application across disciplines, application to real world predictable situations, and  application to real world unpredictable situations. He maintained that schools spend a lot of time on the first and second and very little time on the last three. It was the first time  I realized that the very last step really identifies the difference between project based learning and problem based learning. My mind wandered to this year’s Future City problem. Students are to build short term housing that is sustainable and green for displaced people after an emergency sometime in the extended future. Wow, talk about a problem that is so difficult to answer, nothing is correct, and the possibilities are endless. Parts of the question even contradict each other from an engineering standpoint. Sounds like Daggett’s “applications to real world unpredictable situations” is being practiced in some arenas of education. This leads us perfectly into Daniel Pink’s keynote.

Daniel Pink, the author of  A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future, described the increasing  role of right-brain thinking in the new  economies and describes the skills  individuals and organizations must possess in this outsourced, automated age. Using brain research, Pink advocates that left brain (orderly, logical, and linear) thinking, while still important, is no longer adequate to survive in the 21st Century global economy. He attributes this theory to the role Asia now plays in the global economy with automation being software driven, and abundance of material in the market place. In essence, routine work is disappearing! Pink advocates that educators prepare kids for their future (right brain), not our past (left brain).He suggests including skills in our curriculum that cannot be outsourcedor automated. He includes such abilities as design, story telling, symphony (ability to see big picture), empathy, play, and meaning. One example used was Google’s idea to allow its employees 20% percent job time for self direction. From this effort, such big projects as G-Mail, and Google News have evolved. Finally, Pink suggested some ideas he feels educators should reflect and implement. Number one, explore the new metrics. IQ only accounts for 20% of success. We need to make sure we are measuring the right things. The next concept involves “getting real about STEM. Pink stressed that STEM must include the Arts because students must be taught to see. Engineering firms want people who have passion, are willing to be  life-long learners, are systems thinkers,  have multicultural values, and can understand interdisciplinary context. The third suggestion is to rethink motivation and look at intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation. The fourth idea really caught my attention as Pink suggested moving problem solving out of the terrarium and putting it in the forest. He described the terrarium as an environment  that is much too clean, organized, and not real world. Problems should involve clarification, identification, multi-disciplines, several answers, non-perfection, exploration, challenge, and relevancy. Last, Pink suggests that artistic educational programs must be facilitated, encouraged, and practiced across the curriculum. China has an emphasis that states “Creative Arts are not a frivolous luxury“.  I am anxious to bring the arts concept into my next STEM presentation! Have a little fun fooling your left brain by having your right brain look at this Fedex logo in a different and unique way.

Different and unique  is a great way to describe Alan November. I had the honor to introduce this master of storytelling and thought provoking educational reformer. November emphasized that it is not the technology that will make the change happen, even asking participants to cross it off the program title. He stressed that kids need to be able to learn and use tools at school that are  available in their homes. Education must understand that blocking certain websites is actually contributing to a lack of student awareness of proper and valuable web usage. It is important that the skills we teach today outlast technology change. November emphasized student creativity  as he made the audience aware of Jing and Math Train TV. He also demonstrated a math search engine entitled Wolfram|Alpha. Enter your question or calculation and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and a growing collection of data to compute the answer. While some schools may want to block this because using it could be considered cheating, November suggests allowing students to use it so they instantly know if they are right or wrong in a computation. He then suggested that students create their own multimedia story to explain the process. He also shared an exciting video about sixth sense work using technology. You maybe interested in exploring information on Web Literacy located at November Learning. Located at this site is a great collection of resources to teach students about using the web to retrieve information. Students have a chance to learn there is really no Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus and that Christopher Columbus was not born in Sydney in  Australia in 1951, even though it says so on the web! November also covered the Way Back Machine, and Easy Who Is, to further validate web resources. All of these resources are explained on November Learning. Alan November is truly one of our time’s great thinkers in education and I recommend attending his BLC10 conference in Boston this summer. I have had  the honor to both present and attend. It is a truly an amazing conference that will give you plenty of opportunity to reflect and acquire resources. Perhaps November’s most intruiging statement was that employers are seeking the skill of empathy as they hire. It would be interesting to see who has that concept in their standards beyond definition and  vocabulary!

I did have a chance to attend some other sessions that were truly outstanding. Jim Wenzlof presented a valuable session entitled Read It, Write It, Say It. He introduced innovative ways to use Diigo,  and Skype for teaching literacy. He suggested techniques to allow students to make movie trailers for books using Audacity, PhotoStory, and iMovie.  He also introduced the websites  Lit2Go, Itunes University, and the Story Starter. My favorite was a collaborative site called EtherPad. If you haven’t seen it give it a look! I also had a chance to see the state of Indiana’s new educational service presented by Gary Bates from the DOE called The Learning Connection. It is a service for Indiana educators interested in designing lessons, assessments aligned to standards, or wishing to collaborate and connect with other educators in the state of Indiana. Indiana educators, take the time to register now at The Learning Connection. I also had opportunity to talk with the people at both ePals and NSDL. These are two great organizations that understand 21st Century learning.  I plan to become  more familiar with both in the near future. I appreciated the time and energy both Dr.  Kimberly Lightle from NSDL and Victoria McEachern from ePals spent with me.

As I close I want to thank all those people who attended my session on 21st Century learning. It was my intention to deliver a dynamic presentation to you. I appreciate how nearly 90 people made room for everyone in a room designed for 50. I also hope that the many who could not get in will at least take advantage of the handout sheet left at the door. As promised, the Power Point will be available on the wiki under Presentations. Thank you for all of the kind comments and I hope all of you keep in touch.

Overall it was a truly amazing conference. I was only able to see it from my limited perspective but I can  tell you that it was one of the best I have ever attended. The goal is always to find at least one new idea and I surpassed that with an improved vision for transforming education in the 21st century. I am excited about NMSA10 in Baltimore as I  hope to learn  and contribute even more! Again, thank you to the great staff at both NMSA and IMLEA along with the countless volunteers and presenters. I feel it was a great “Welcome To The Future!” Please feel free to visit the 21st Century Ed Tech Wiki. Your comments, suggestions, and emails are always welcome! Keep up the great work at using technology to facilitate empathy, awareness, and  creativity! They just may be the most important unwritten standards.

When you finally think you’ve got things together a whirlwind of chaos opens the door and throws all your tidy papers up in the air. Not literally of course, unless you take you papers to the beach or something, which would be dumb, people don´t do that for this reason. What I meant by the metaphor was that life doesn´t seem to have a break in it. Or at least there will always be something going on in order to make you nervous, worried or unhappy. Perhaps another metaphor is needed, perhaps it´s more like the higher that you climb, the steeper that it gets, and you have to increase your fear and your wits as you go along, since there doesn´t seem to be a point where you can actually “let go” and relax for a while. It did seem that way this morning, but it was illusionary. No such place exists, unless it´s in free-fall, unless it´s in total renunciation of the world and obliviousness to it. I look out the window and the trees in the evening Sun look placid, serene swaying in the wind. But that´s nothing more than my own association with a less abrasive time of the day, with long forgotten summers, in parks and on beaches, times when time didn´t mean anything. Trees don´t feel anything, humans do. But in opposition to what I´ve said, it is in frustration and in hardship that anything of any true significance is achieved. When the climb is harder, the summit is even more beautiful. When the wind and rain in your face is the fiercest, that´s when the thrill of riding in a storm is the greatest. More metaphors. Does it make me feel any better? No. But it gives me a little resolve, and in a sense it is reassuring, since I was beginning to lapse into a sort of confusional directionlessness.

By Roy Bleckert

The PBS Frontline show ,The Warning , does a good job on the greed & corruption  of the CEO’s ( Rubin , Summers , Geithner) that have played a key role in our financial meltdown (but leaves out the BOD ) , I submit they totally miss  Greenspan’s role in the process

Greenspan started out with the free market principals,  but along the way he got corrupted enough to be believe fraud was ok , that you could build a derivative market fueled by the distortions the Feds made in the housing market starting with Carter’s 1977 CRA act , the 89 mortgage act, 92 Freddie & Fannie phony loans to people who could not afford a house , 95 tracking loans by neighborhood ( iirc the one Obama sued in court for Acorn? ) well the only way I know of to fuel a distorted market is with fraud

Greenspan, Rynd, Reagan were right that the free market should be allowed to function , but  Brooksley Born is right that the government role in the financial markets should be to establish a honest and level playing field , so the Bernie Madoff’s of the world do not corrupt the system.

Free Market’s can only survive in a honest and level playing field,  if the The Few, The Money Changers are running a rigged and corrupt system it does not matter if you have a Free Market , Communist System or anything else , In a rigged game the few are going to take advantage of the many and keep them oppressed as long as they can hold power in a corrupt system

If the role of government is to make sure one person is not allowed to harm another , a Free people and Free Markets will bring about the best chance for economic prosperity , a nation that can dictate it’s own destiny and individual freedom for all citizens in it’s border

Is the the kind of nation you want to live in and pass on to your children ?

Maxwell – BLACKsummers’night (2009)

• 01 – Bad Habits: Un tema perfecto para abrir el álbum, con su sugerente inicio y su crescendo basado en el buen hacer de unos arreglos con banda real, y una interpretación vocal a la altura. Si bien Maxwell nunca ha sido un gran cantante en directo, en estudio siempre ha estado perfecto, y elegante (algo difícil en estos tiempos). La sorpresa de la canción es la inclusión de la guitarra acústica. Muy bueno. 9/10

• 02 – Cold: Aquí cambia un poco de registro e introduce ritmos más funk, con unos metales de nuevo en primer plano. De todos modos, me parece que no es una canción redonda, la melodía se queda a medias, sobre todo comparada con el tema anterior, y el tema no se desarrolla lo suficiente. 5.5/10

• 03 – Pretty Wings: El Gran Tema del álbum, y el primer single. Una balada con una melodía preciosa y pegadiza, arreglos de primera, un Maxwell inspirado haciéndose sus propios coros, cambiando de registros vocales. Puede que su falsete no esté tan afilado como antes, pero lo que han perdido sus cuerdas vocales lo ha ganado en madurez interpretativa. A partir del break del minuto 2:55 el tema se vuelve pura magia. 9.5/10

• 04 – Help Somebody: No, no es una versión de la canción de Earth, Wind & Fire, es un tema totalmente diferente, pero no deja de tener cierto aire old skool. ¿Quién dijo que este hombre no es un compositor de talento? Maxwell encuentra un buen balance aquí, y durante casi todo el disco, entre lo clásico y lo moderno, entre sus influencias del soul setentero y su alma de neo-soul. Pero no cae en el simple cliché, siempre equilibra la balanza. 7.5/10

• 05 – Stop The World: Quizás uno de los arreglos más “anónimos” del álbum, poco llamativo, pero su interpretación vocal salva la canción. Hay un toque de ingenuidad a veces en su voz que ni siquiera había oído en Marvin Gaye, salvando las distancias. 5.5/10

• 06 – Love You: Otro de los punto álgidos del disco. Las ventajas de tener una banda tocando en directo, a diferencia de tantas buenas canciones desperdiciadas en tantos discos de neo-soul debido a la frialdad de los instrumentos digitales. El toque maestro lo dan las congas, creando un ambiente muy Blaxploitation, un groove muy a lo Curtis Mayfield. Puede que la melodía no sea nada del otro mundo, pero Maxwell se la cree al cantarla, y eso se nota. 8/10

• 07 – Fistful Of Tears: El inicio es un homenaje total a The Beautiful Ones de Prince, una de las claras influencias del disco. De todos modos, el tema no llega muy alto, queda más bien algo repetitivo, aunque Maxwell supo no hacerse pesado y dejarlo en una duración bastante adecuada, sin alargarse más de la cuenta. 6/10

• 08 – Playing Possum: Una buena canción para acabar (supuestamente) el disco. Con sus toques de percusión profunda que me recuerdan al final del álbum Let’s Get It On, de hecho la canción tiene algún otro parecido, pero por supuesto no alcanza para nada ese punto de genialidad. No es un tema totalmente conseguido, aunque sí funciona bien como pseudo-cierre. 6/10

• 09 – Phoenix Rise: y aquí llega la sorpresa, un tema instrumental para terminar por segunda vez. Aunque el tema tampoco es nada especial, el efecto sorpresa tras la anterior canción le añade carisma, y la banda puede lucirse un poco. En fin, un disco que se hace bastante corto, algo raro últimamente, y sobre todo, un disco que gana con cada escucha. 6/10

NOTA MEDIA: 7/10

People are really just beginning to appreciate the social aspects of the internet.  We get the search engines and email.  We get the chat rooms.  We get the web pages.      But we’re really only just beginning to get, I believe, the phenomenon of rapid mass social reaction.  Even more importantly, I believe we’re only beginning to get this phenomenon as it pertains to participatory government.

Sometimes for good.  Sometimes for bad.  En masse we tend to behave quite a bit like lemmings.  We are truly pack animals whether we care to admit it or not.  The good is, maybe, that the transparency of the web will rapidly turn up the heat more than we expected on bad government.  I’m not thinking of sorta bad government.  I’m thinking more of the particularly stinky, hold your nose, really idiotic decisions by pompous people kinda government.   I’m thinking, this particular October morn, of Larry Summers.

Larry Summers is not one of those political figures that remains tremendously high on the public radar.  He comes out, makes a few public statements now and then, and most common folk

Larry Summers: Does he really have a mind of his own or does he follow the crowd? In 1998 he let Greenspan and bankers tell him what to think....Aren't big bankers just leading him by the nose again?

(backbone of the economy people) either forget about him or don’t even have any idea  what he does.  Absent the wonder of investigative journalism, I would have had no idea of the role that Larry played in the economic meltdown.

Over a decade ago, Larry had an opportunity to help head off some of the economic destruction that occurred in recent years, and he chose to do the precisely the opposite….with rancorous aggression.  Frontline turned up the heat on October 20th with an exposé, The Warning (link here, BRAVO, Frontline and BRAVO, Brooksley Born!)

Apparently, Brooksley Born, head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in the late 90’s, was not one of those people who prioritizes politics above her ethics.  She’s more one of those “we just need to expose the truth” types.  In 1998, her team began to realize that over-the-counter derivatives were expanding at an epidemic rate with absolutely no transparency or oversight.  Ms. Born began to make serious waves.  She made the kind of waves that politically sensitive people like Larry Summers do not like; and Alan Greenspan and Larry Summers (Deputy Treasury Secretary at the time)

“….They were totally opposed to it [transparency/regulation].  That puzzled me.  What was it that was in this market that had to be hidden?  Why did it have to be a completely dark market?  So it made me very suspicious and troubled.”

-Brooksley Born
Former Chairperson,
Commodities Futures Trading Commission

both pushed back very hard on Ms. Born to recant.  Brooksley Born, to her eternal credit, refused to relent.   The Republican congress proceeded to strip the CFTC of its power….and Brooksley quit.  (American Public Radio’s summary – listen here at 7′50″ into podcast)

So where does this leave us?  Most of the culpable Congress are out of office due to stupidity.  Alan Greenspan, in Congressional hearings in 2008, publicly admitted to stupidity….And Larry Summers is in the White House today, vigorously exercising his…stupi—-…Well, OK,  he’s not at all stupid, but he’s doing the exact same thing he did in 1998. Larry is dutifully following the crowd of power brokers just as he did in 1998, and flexing the muscles of the alpha male who happens to be in charge (Obama) for show.

Yet he falls asleep in meetings while the President is speaking; and he seems far more interested to use his influence to get pay restrictions on banking buddies relaxed (like Citibank’s CEO) than to roll up his sleeves and generate meaningful long-term governmental change. He’s completely unapologetic about the past; and its just not healthy having people that fickle in central administration roles.  You can hear the lack of passion in his voice when he speaks.  He’s all about the power and the role; and next week he’ll pick somebody else’s side to be on…if they happen to be in power.

The immediate question in my mind is whether the Frontline episode generates enough peripheral buzz and casts a bright enough light on Larry Summers to expose his features in their full brilliance and get him ousted.  The broader question in my mind is how effective the internet really is today at engendering that type of subsurface change.

We’ve seen plenty of examples of insane crowd activity on the web.  There are many times I wish we did not act so much like lemmings.  Today is one of those times I hope we do act like lemmings.  Time once was that a Frontline episode of this import would have reached a few million curious viewers and then been quickly abandoned.  The internet has unquestionably increased transparency and cranked up heat in the political kitchen.  But it has also increased the static a great deal as well.  Let’s see what happens.  Will Larry still be in the White House in six months or will he be whipping out his ukulele on the speech circuit…or perhaps even back at Harvard teaching the next generation of national leaders?  (Another very scary thought.)   Larry asleep on the job – click here.

Are you a silver or a gold? Do you know? Do you know that not all metallics would suit your colouring? Here are some tips on helping you decide what metallics would suit you.

The first step is working out which season you really are. Autumn, Winter, Spring or Summer. Summer and Winter are classified as cool and Spring and Autumn – Warm. According to the Chicfashionista. com, in order to determine if you’re cool or warm, pick a piece of white paper and put it close to your face. Close your eyes for a few seconds. If you notice the paper before your face when you open your eyes, then you are warm and if you notice your face first, you belong to the cool group.

Cool

Winter Characteristics:

Skin has blue or pink undertones. Most Winters have dark hair or light blonde hair (almost white). Their eyes are usually of deep colours like dark red-brown, hazel, grey-blue, violet, grey-green or green with white flecks in the iris.

Summer Characteristics:

Summers have skin with a blue undertone. There is usually a visible pink in their skin. There are Summer with very fair skin and would often look pale without blush on. Their skin is often translucent. Most Summers have blonde hair when they were young, which would often darken to a “mousy” colour. Brunnettes would have hair ranging from light to dark brown with ashy overtones. People classified as Summer would most often have blue, green, aqua grey or soft hazel eyes.

Warm

Spring Characteristics:

Spring would have creamy ivory, peach, golden beige, golden brown skin. Most Springs would have a golden undertone in their skin. They can be flaxen blonde, yellow blonde, honey, strawberry or golden brown. They are characterised with blue, green, teal or aqua eyes, with golden flecks in the iris.

Autumn Characteristics:

An Autumn would also have golden undertones in their skin. Their skin is either ivory, peach, peach with freckles, ivory with freckles, dark beige, golden brown. They would often have red, coppery red-brown, golden brown, golden blonde, strawberry blonde, golden grey hair. Their eyes are usually dark brown, golden brown, amber, hazel with golden brown or green gold, or green with brown or gold flecks eyes.

Wearing the right metals

Now that you know which season or “climate” you belong to, you simply need to know which metals would suit you.  Basic rule of thumb: silvers would suit the Cools and gold would suit the Warms. If it is still too hard for you to determine your colour, simply hold a silver or gold piece of jewellery on you face and see which one stands out, the jewellery or you! If you seem sallow under whichever metal, then it is definitely not for you. The metal that suits you would light up your face and highlight your qualities.
