St Petersburg – a brief overview
Moscow may have the power, but St Petersburg has always had the culture. This stately city, set beside the mighty Neva River, was where Peter the Great chose to found his imperial capital in 1703. The finest Italian architects were drafted in to construct a city of grand avenues and winding canals, lined with elegant townhouses and adorned with baroque flourishes.
This was where Russia's tsars and tsarinas lived out their extravagant lives; they now pass the centuries in the royal tombs inside SS Peter & Paul Cathedral. Surrounding the city are the extravagant country houses of the imperial dynasty – a trip to Peterhof or Tsarskoe Selo is an essential part of any trip to St Petersburg.

09:00 a.m.: Starting point Location Hostel
Ligowski Prospekt 74
191040 St. Petersburg
For St. Petersburg untypical, the Location Hostel is housed in a former industrial bakery and done out in industrial loft style. The hostel has a modern, friendly atmosphere and also a great downtown location. Top of the priority list here is communication not creature comforts.
Added bonus: There are plenty of bars, restaurants and cafés in the hostel's immediate vicinity – and in the bitter winter's cold of St. Petersburg, short distances are sometimes very welcome.
Rates: Double rooms start at 40 euros
10:00 a.m.: Breakfast at Café Singer
Nevskiy Ave. 28
While the interior of this outwardly so elegant café on the second floor above Dom Knigi, the "House of Books" bookstore, is not particularly mention-worthy, the tasty treats on the menu truly are. Also, while tucking into an ample breakfast, you have a great chance to watch the comings and going on St. Petersburg's famous boulevard, Nevsky Prospect. Our culinary tip: Definitely try the superb blinis.
11:00 a.m.: A visit to Udelnaya flea market
Sytinskaja Pl. 3/5
Metro Station Udelnaya
Sat, Sun and public holidays 0800–1700
If you happen to be in St. Petersburg on a Saturday or Sunday, it's a good idea to pay a visit to the city's best flea market, Udelnaya. Certainly not just for tourists, there's loads of interesting stuff to be found here, from music for a Russian disco to former Soviet Union memorabilia. The market doesn't break for the winter, so haggling continues even when temperatures are down to 25 degrees …
12:30 p.m.: Time for Nevsky Prospect!
There's no getting around it in St. Petersburg: the full splendor (and at times even megalomania) of what Peter the Great envisioned for his capital city along four-and-a-half kilometers of boulevard; palaces, neo-classicist residential buildings, grand hotels, cathedrals – and, of course, mighty department stores that today stock all the premium brands of the Western world.
For people with a weak spot for history and architecture, a stroll down Nevsky Prospect could make a day-filling program.
02:30 p.m.: Lunch at Jelissejew delicatessen store
Newski Prospekt 56
Metro Station Ovtovo
Downtown St. Petersburg is like one big museum, and that includes the Jelissejew delicatessen store on Nevsky Prospect. Both the atmosphere at this Art Nouveau gourmet temple and the culinary delights on offer will make the heart of any esthete beat faster.
The down side: Settle down for lunch here and you will have to put up with hordes of tourists dropping in just to snap a quick photo. The friendly, liveried wait staff – and extensive menu – easily make up for this.
04:00 p.m.: Time for the Museum
Pushkinskaya ul. 10
St. Petersburg can be inhospitable, cold and dark in winter, but this has its advantages (aside from the delightful, snowy fairy-tale feeling): The city's many museums are not as mercilessly overrun as they are in the summer. You can even venture into the Hermitage without feeling like a herded animal.
Our alternative suggestion: At the Pushkinskaya 10 Art Center, you can gain an insight into St. Petersburg's contemporary creative scene, including the amusing "Non-conformist Museum."
07:00 p.m.: Dining à la russe: Barwinok
Uliza Mira 7
Metro Station Gorkowskaja
Daily 1300–2300
St. Petersburg has long catered to its international guests and their wishes, and the city's restaurant scene is nothing if not diverse. But for visitors looking for an authentic Russian experience, the quaint Barwinok is the right address – for two reasons: Dining in its rustic, wooden-bench atmosphere is like sharing a meal with a local family.
And with potato cakes and curd flatbreads, the menu includes good honest home cooking, even though you will rarely get to enjoy such refined versions of them.
10:00 p.m.: Nightlife
Uliza Dumskaja 9
Metro Station Gostini Dwor
German-born Anna-Christin Albers runs a few clubs in St. Petersburg. Her impression: Young Russians, unlike Germans, aren't the wait-and-see kind; they set out "determined to have a good time." Now that sounds promising …
Our tips for hot Russian nights in the cold season: The Datscha, an uncomplicated club with no dress code or code of conduct, the (very tiny) laid-back fish fabrique (www.fishfabrique.ru), which hosts lots of live gigs, and the cult classic, Gribojedow (www.griboedovclub.ru), in a former air-raid shelter.

Russia is at once breathtaking, baffling and stunningly beautiful. Monumental in every respect, it's a land where untamed wilderness sits alongside bustling urban centres, and adventure lurks around every corner. From imperial splendour to icy Siberian tundra and from time-worn Soviet-era monuments to über-hip urban culture, Russia is a land of contradiction and superlatives.
For the first time in its history, Russia is now wide open for foreign visitors to experience, and exploration beyond Moscow and St Petersburg is well advised. The Golden Ring, a collection of ancient gems, transports the traveller back to a bygone age.
The Russian Federation covers almost twice the area of the USA, and reaches from the enclave of Kaliningrad in the west over the Urals and the vast Siberian plains to the Sea of Okhotsk in the east. The border between European Russia and Siberia (Asia) is formed by the Ural Mountains, the Ural River and the Manych Depression. All in all Russia has 16 international borders with countries including Finland, Lithuania, USA, Japan, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and China.
European Russia extends from the North Polar Sea across the Central Russian Uplands to the Black Sea, the Northern Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. Siberia stretches from the West Siberian Plain across the Central Siberian Plateau to the Lena River and takes in the Sayan and Yablonovy ranges in the south.
East of Siberia stretches the Russian Far East, a region almost as big as Siberia itself, running to the Pacific coast and including the vast Chukotka and Kamchatka peninsulas.
Given the vast size of the country, Russia's terrain is hugely variable. From the Siberian tundra to the mountains of the Urals, the beaches on the Black Sea coast, and the plains of western Russia, such variable geography means one can experience many different Russias.
Population: 142500482
Population Density (per sq km): 8
Capital: Moscow.
Russian is the official language, although there are over 100 other languages. English is widely spoken by younger people as well as some educated older people.
Rouble (RUB; symbol руб) = 100 kopeks. Notes are in denominations of 5,000, 1,000, 500, 100, 50, 10 and 5. Coins are in denominations of 10, 5, 2 and 1, and 50, 10, 5 and 1 kopeks.

The most practical way to get around St Petersburg is actually on foot. The stations of the St Petersburg Metro (tel: +7-/812-30 19 700; metro.spb.ru) are widely spaced, and reaching almost anywhere in the city will involve a walk, taxi ride or river boat trip. Metro tickets are sold in stations; save on multiple trips by purchasing a magnetic smart card. Buses, trams and marshrutka (shared minibuses) whizz between the suburbs and the centre, but routes can be confusing for non-Russian speakers; buy tickets from the conductor. To explore the centre at a more leisurely pace, take a boat cruise along the Neva River and the city canals.
Official, licensed taxis are costly and fares must be negotiated with the driver. To avoid fare inflation, book a taxi over the phone; reputable companies include Taxi 700000 (tel: +7-812/70 00 000). Unofficial taxis abound, but many drivers speak only Russian and fares are often elevated for tourists; as with official taxis, agree a fare with the driver before you set off. Locals generally do not tip.

Climate and best time to visit St Petersburg
In Moscow, winter is just cold; in St Petersburg, winter is unbelievable. Nevertheless, those willing to endure temperatures that plummet to -20°C will see the city at its most magical and sublime. As spring gives way to summer, a different kind of magic takes over in St Petersburg; the White Nights of summer see around 22 hours of daylight, perfect for party people who only stop when the sun goes down. In spring, hotel prices tumble and the city is alive with bombastic national holiday parades, while the rainbow foliage of autumn adds an extra splash of colour to the extravagant palaces of the tsars.
Climate & best time to visit Russia
As you'd expect Russia's climate is hugely dependent on where in the country you find yourself. With temperatures known to hit a tarmac-melting 37°C (99°F) in the cities and fall to -30°C (-22°F) and lower during the Siberian winter, there's no point generalising about Russia's weather except to say, be prepared. The most favourable temperatures are found along the Baltic coast, where many Muscovites decamp for balmy summer holidays, whilst the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, Sochi, also doubles as a beach resort, due to its tropical climate, earning it the epithet 'Florida of Russia'. Minus the overly tanned pensioners of course.
While the notion of visiting a snow-blanketed Moscow or St Petersburg has a definite romance, most tourists prefer to come calling in the warm summer months of June, July and August. This means the "shoulder seasons" of April, May, September and October are good options for visitors keen to avoid the peak crowds – prices are generally lower from September to May, and tourist sites almost invariably less crowded. Spring is often characterised by slushy roads. And if your heart's set on that winter wonderland? December's the best bet. Seasonal climates apply elsewhere in Russia – Siberia can have devastatingly cold winters, while its summers are generally fairly pleasant, if a little rainy. The region of Russia near the Black Sea has mild winters, but again attracts a fair amount of rain.

Telephone/Mobile Telephone
Dialing Code: +7
When dialling the Russian Federation from abroad, the 0 of the area code must not be omitted. Most Moscow hotels have telephone booths with IDD. For long-distance calls within the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States), dial 8 then wait for the dial tone before proceeding with the call. Collect calls, calls placed using credit cards and calls from direct dial telephones in hotels can be extremely expensive. International calls can be made from phones in the street and phonecards are available from many shops and kiosks in the street. For enquiries regarding Moscow private telephone numbers dial 09; for businesses, dial 927 0009.
Mobile Telephone
Roaming agreements exist with international mobile phone companies. All major cities are covered by at least one operator. Handsets can be hired from some companies and local SIM cards are easily purchased for use within Russia if you have an unlocked handset.
Wi-Fi is available within most hotels in larger cities (although they may charge) and at internet cafes. Most connections will be either via dial up or broadband. Although Russia does not ostensibly censor the internet, there is an internet blacklist of sites which you will not be able to visit from inside Russia, which includes some independent news sites.
Nevsky prospekt is the main shopping strip and it looks almost as glamorous today as it did when tsars and tsarinas used to promenade here in search of champagne, cigars and furs. The area around Vladimirsky prospekt in the east of the city is also a vibrant shopping hub. For modern brands and designer fashions, head to the malls in Smolny and Vostaniya.
For tasty Russian foodstuffs, including delicacies such as caviar and tvorog (cottage cheese) with apricots, browse the stalls at Kuznechny market (Kuznechny pereulok) and Maltsevsky market (Nekrasova ulitsa). Genuine bits of Soviet memorabilia can be found in the eclectic Udelnaya market (Vyborg Side) near Udelnaya Metro station, while matryoshka dolls are stock in trade at the souvenir market beside the Church on Spilled Blood.
St Petersburg's most famous shopping centre was also one of the world's first – construction of arcade-fronted Gostiny Dvor commenced in 1757. American-style shopping arrived in St Petersburg with the Sennaya (Yefimova ulitsa) mall near Sennaya ploshchad. Further west, Vladimirsky Passage and Galeria (Ligovsky prospekt) – St Petersburg's largest mall – shimmer with international brands.
It is customary to shake hands when greeting someone, though never across a threshold. Company or business gifts are well received; if you're invited to someone's home do bring a token gift, but avoid clearing your plate when eating; leaving some food is considered as a good sign.
Conservative wear is suitable for most places – women will need to cover shoulders and wear long skirts to enter an orthodox church – and the seasonal weather should always be borne in mind. Smoking and drinking is acceptable unless stated otherwise.
Russian society is still highly patriarchal and hierarchical; this may be reflected in chivalrous acts (men holding doors open for women for example) but it may also mean that women are taken less seriously, and engaging in 'unfeminine' behaviour may be interpreted wrongly, although being a visitor may get you some leeway.
Be careful with gestures – in Russia, giving the 'thumbs up' sign is an insult not an 'OK'.
It is prohibited to take photographs of any military installation and/or establishments or sites of strategic importance. Failure to abide by this could result in police arrest.
Main emergency number: 112
In general, Russia does not pose any serious health risks when it comes to food. Use common sense and caution when deciding what might be safe to eat. Tap water is drinkable, although those with sensitive stomachs may want to stick to bottled water. Similarly, some may want to make sure that water used for brushing teeth or making ice has been boiled or otherwise sterilised. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Be mindful that eating salads may have vegetables washed in tap water; you may want to stick to well-cooked meals for the duration of your stay. Vegetables should be cooked and fruit peeled.
Vaccinations are sometimes recommended for Japanese B encephalitis, meningococcal meningitis and tick-borne encephalitis.

The Twins righthander pitched seven shutout innings vs. his old team.
ATLANTA – Ervin Santana spent 2014 with the Braves and went 10-4 with a 3.75 ERA at Turner Field that year.
"I did not know that," a surprised Santana said.
And the veteran Twins righthander looked very comfortable in familiar surroundings Tuesday night.
Santana nursed an early lead until the Twins added runs late to take down the Braves 4-2 in the opener of a two-game interleague series. Santana (6-9) won his third consecutive outing and is 5-2 with a 1.84 ERA over his past 10 starts. And that doesn't include his scoreless stint against Houston last week that was wiped out by rain.
"I'm sure he wished it's something you can bottle," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "It's the same for a hitter when you get on a roll. You enjoy the good trends in the game, and he's certainly been on one here for quite a while."
Santana held the Braves to four hits and two walks with six strikeouts. He induced six ground-ball outs and six flyouts.
The Twins scored in the first inning, when Joe Mauer drew a two-out walk before Trevor Plouffe got a fat pitch from Braves righthander Joel De La Cruz and walloped a double to center. Mauer was waved home by third base coach Gene Glynn and slid in safely as the relay throw from Chase d'Arnaud was up the first-base line.
De La Cruz cut the fat from his pitches from there, as the Twins didn't get another hit until the fifth.
Santana rolled through the Braves lineup with ease until the seventh inning, when Nick Markakis led off with a single. Santana ended up walking A.J. Pierzynski to put two on with two out, and former Royals teammate Jeff Francoeur came up as the pinch hitter.
Francoeur worked the count full, but Santana fired a 94-mile-per-hour fastball by him to end the inning.
"Nothing but sliders until the last [strike]," Santana said. "I know he's looking for it, but I'm like, 'No, I'm going to throw a fastball.' "
The Twins finally got some breathing room in the eighth inning, when Mauer homered to left and Kurt Suzuki added an RBI single for a three-run lead.
Atlanta scored twice in the eighth inning to get within 3-2, but Ryan Pressly escaped the jam by getting Adonis Garcia to line out to left with the tying run on third. In the ninth, the Twins added an insurance run when Plouffe dumped an 0-2 pitch for a single to center off Braves flamethrower Mauricio Cabrera to score Danny Santana, and Brandon Kintzler pitched a scoreless ninth for his 12th save in 13 attempts.
"The game took on a little bit of a different look near the end," Molitor said. "Early on, it was all about getting a run on the board and watching Ervin go to work. He was just on cruise control there for a while."
• Twins third baseman Miguel Sano took grounders and threw for the first time in eight days, but he had his sore right elbow wrapped in ice after the game and didn't sound optimistic about his chance to return to third base Wednesday. "I don't know," he said. "We'll see."
• Lefthander Buddy Boshers (elbow) could be begin throwing by the end of the week.
• Lefthander Tommy Milone (biceps) is still four or five days away from being cleared to throw.
• Righthander Trevor May (back) underwent a bone scan, which came back negative. He will continue to rehabilitate his back.
The Braves announced that shortstop Erick Aybar had been traded to Detroit for infielder Mike Aviles and catching prospect Kade Scivicque. Atlanta will call up 2015 No. 1 overall pick Dansby Swanson to make his major league debut Wednesday.


I'm curious to know, for those that care to share- What tricks, jigs, hacks, shortcuts, or other tips have you discovered that compensates for the lack of space or the high tech tool?
Cons - I have to print/create/obtain my 3D pattern first and cannot CNC direct onto wood.
Pros- Much cheaper than a CNC, Larger build volume than CNC desktop machines, almost unlimited length and both Pattern and new block of wood can be rotated in synchronization via chain giving you 4 axis dimensions of carving.
Wow, good question, I've lived wanting more toys for so long and not have in the cash or the space I may miss a lot simply because it is now instinctive. Let me throw out a few things that may get the ball rolling.
Think in cubic feet not square feet with limited space. Many tools can be stacked, I'm needing to do more of this right now.
If what you have will not make what you want, use what you have to make a tool or template to make it. Sounds like you have already figured this one out!
You have to have something to cut with but it does not have to be ideal. I used a panel saw and a straight edge for years before getting a table saw.
The pantographed part from a 3d print is a bit of a stroke of genius, I would have never thought of that.
I've seen many people build fold up tables that hold cnc machine. Or just a fold up table in general.
It's all about utilizing all your free space. A French cleat shelving system is a cool thing to have (and easily made).
Ive seen the duplicators that also scale up or down the original as well. So you could save time and resorces on your 3d print and still end up with your desired product. With my glowforge i had panned to use an old oak extendable dining table and make a bracket to nest the glowforge where the leaf would go which would also serve as inlet and outlet support for the pro passthrough if i made it level with the bed.
I look forward to hearing what ideas others have to share. In my case, I use my maker equipment for a growing side business. The business was initially just a way to pay for equipment that could hopefully pay for itself and help buy the next piece of equipment. It may become my primary source of income in a couple years.
My "office" has been a computer desk in the corner of the dining room. Using @markevans36301's "cubic feet" concept, my laser printer and inkjet printer are on a custom built hutch above my computer monitors. The hutch cost about $30 in wood and an afternoon in build time.
When I wanted to buy a used vinyl printer/cutter, I knew it would take up most of the rest of the dining room. I asked my wife if she was willing to give up her dining room for 1 year for me to test the waters with a printer/cutter. We only used the dining room about twice a week anyway.I figured in 1 year, I'd either decide the printer/cutter was a bad idea and sell it or it would prove its worth and I'd need to move to a bigger location. It has proved it's capable of paying its way and that convinced my wife and I to invest in an addition (garage with office/workshop above) that I'll move into later this month.
This is where mine will be going.
Drooling here! We've been wanting a craft studio/cottage, like, forever.
This ones moved along a bit since the picture was taken, it's got a roof now which will, eventually be planted with Heather.
@primal_healer I'll have to try that scaling thing you mentioned. I may have to try it just for art to start with and then do some research on how to do scaling for accuracy.
If I was an inventor or had any knowledge of programing, I think it would be cool someday to design some type of hardware/software for the occulus rift that would allow someone to do this virtually from another room with a stylus of some type - but now I'm dreaming again.
The flip side of that coin is that us country folk don't get easy access to good restaurants, theatres, cinema, museums etc and we have to put up with really slow internet.
Not sure what you're getting at. There's one of them new fangled "movie houses" just 45 miles away. And my closest neighbor Edsel has a nifty collection of deer antlers and vintage hubcaps that anyone can look at for free. (not kidding).

Thanks. Good idea. It's Buck season right now. The smaller antlers are just discarded. One of the neighbors gave me half a Buck to butcher on Wednesday. Had a little venison with my eggs this morning.

Structural Adaptations of Orangutans
By Jennifer Mueller
Anup Shah/Digital Vision/Getty Images
The two species of orangutans -- Bornean (Pongo pygmaeus) and Sumatran (Pongo abelii) orangutans -- are the only great apes living in Southeast Asia. Location isn't the only thing that sets them apart from gorillas, bonobos and chimpanzees, however. Orangutans also are the only great apes that spend the vast majority of their time in trees. These primates have a number of physical adaptations that enable their arboreal lifestyle.
Strong-arm Tactics
Although the largest male orangutans reach heights of about 5 feet, their arms are at least 7 feet long. These disproportionately long arms, combined with comparatively short legs, help orangutans support their body weight as they hang from tree limbs. Since these great apes may weigh as much as 200 pounds, strong arms are necessary to keep them from falling out of the trees. More highly flexible hips also suit them well to their arboreal lifestyle, given that they use both their arms and legs to move from tree to tree.
Getting a Grip
Orangutans not only need strong arms, but strong hands and feet as well. These cautious climbers use all four of their limbs to grasp trees, testing each branch to ensure it will hold their weight before moving forward hand over hand. Both their thumbs and their big toes are opposable, so their feet grip much the same way their hands do. Orangutans have flat nails instead of claws, and sensitive tactile pads on their fingers. They control the movement of each individual finger, and have adapted unique grips depending on whether a task requires precision or power.
Hidden in Broad Daylight
Orangutans' reddish-orange fur is no accident, but an adaptation to camouflage them as they move about in the rain forest canopy. Despite their large size, these great apes are practically invisible as they move from tree to tree. As the sun shines down on the jungle, the dense vegetation absorbs red and orange light. By the time light filters down to the forest floor, red and orange light are almost completely absent. By complementing this portion of the light spectrum, orangutans also disappear to eyes looking up.
Long Call of the Wild
Unlike the other great apes, orangutans live a largely solitary existence. Primatologists attribute this in part to the fact that rain forest trees would be unable to support large numbers of these large creatures at once. Mature males have a unique "long call" produced by puffing up the large pouches in their cheeks and throat. This call can be heard for several miles, and serves as a warning to other males who may be in the area as well as notifying potentially receptive females of their location.

The Mouse that Brought the House Down
Maddy Levine – March 23, 2016
Since early March, our entire school community has been buzzing with excitement over a chapter book called A Mouse Called Wolf, by Dick King-Smith, this year's One School, One Book pick. Every scholar in our kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade classes, along with our teachers and office staff, read the book over the course of two weeks. Other elementary schools in the network read the book too.
By last Friday, the scholars were nearing the end of the book. But we didn't want the book to end and decided to add to the story of Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee. So during our Community Circle celebration for scholars and their families in the school gym, we announced there was one more chapter left to read — a chapter we wrote, titled "Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee Go to Hollywood."
Weeks earlier, our principal, Jonathan Dant, had challenged us to think of creative ways to get every scholar excited about reading this book. It is the tale of a tiny mouse named Wolfgang Amadeus (nicknamed Wolf) who discovers he has a talent for singing when Mrs. Honeybee, the elderly lady of the house, plays the piano one day. Mr. Dant's idea of writing an additional chapter caught fire with the whole team.
Mr. Dant's idea of writing an additional chapter caught fire with the whole team.
Our next challenge was to come up with a plot that would resonate with our scholars, who love music and dance, and that would convey the story's message that talent trumps looks. So I proposed a story involving Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee appearing on the television singing competition The Voice. Megan Andersen, the school's operations manager, deserves a ton of credit for spinning this idea into a beautiful tale. You can read the entire chapter she wrote below.
Last Friday, we surprised everybody at Community Circle with a comedic performance. Our business operations manager, Leah Robertson, donned mouse ears to play the role of Wolf. I dug up a gray wig to look like Mrs. Honeybee. In our story, Mrs. Honeybee walks on stage at The Voice and places Wolf on a piano key. No one can see him sing, so no one knows he is a mouse.
For the school production, Ms. Robertson and I lip-synched the '80s hit song Don't You (Forget About Me) for Mr. Dant and three other staff members, who played the judges. They sat with their backs to us, just like the judges do on The Voice so they won't be influenced by the singer's appearance — only by the contestant's voice. When the judges heard Wolf's beautiful voice, the four of them turned around, indicating their interest in coaching Wolf.
Our show ended with the audience helping Mrs. Honeybee choose the judge who would coach Wolf and help him win the competition. So we asked the scholars and their parents to cheer for their favorite judge. The gym exploded with laughter and cheers. One parent said later she was laughing so hard she couldn't hold up her camera to take pictures. The vote was close but, in the end, the scholars chose Mr. Dant to be Wolf's mentor.
I hope these last two weeks reminded our scholars how much fun they can have reading and how great books can fuel our imaginations and inspire us in creative ways. It's easy to put down a book after finishing the last page, but a great book like the one our school read can open up many possibilities and bring people closer together.
"Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee Go to Hollywood"
By The Success Academy Bensonhurst Staff
Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse, despite his appearance, was an amazing singer. He and Mrs. Honeybee, the lady of the house, spent hours together singing and playing the piano. When they weren't composing music, they were watching their favorite reality show, The Voice.
One day, Mrs. Honeybee got an idea. "Wolf," she said, "you are better than any of the singers on this show. The world should know of your talents. We should audition!"
Wolf thought about this for a moment. Just imagine if the winner of The Voice ended up being a little mouse with a great name. Wolf squeaked in agreement.
One month later, Wolf found himself hiding in Mrs. Honeybee's pocket as they entered blind auditions for The Voice. He was nervous. How would the audience and the judges react to a mouse contestant? "You'll be great Wolf!" Mrs. Honeybee whispered. "You're the best singer I know!"
The host's voice boomed through the arena. "And next up, Wolfgang Amadeus accompanied by Mrs. Honeybee!" Wolf took a deep breath from inside Mrs. Honeybee's pocket before she stepped out on stage and made her way to the piano. When she sat down at the piano, she reached into her pocket and gently placed Wolf above middle C.
The audience was too far way to see what was happening, but they knew something wasn't right. "Wasn't this going to be a duet?" one asked. "Where is the other person?" asked another.
Mrs. Honeybee looked at Wolf and smiled. Wolf gently nodded his head, and Mrs. Honeybee started the opening chords to Don't You (Forget About Me). Wolf opened his mouth and started to sing.
The audience was in awe as Wolf's voice filled the arena. "Who is singing?" came whispers from the audience. "Where is that coming from?" They all craned their necks, trying to see where the voice was coming from.
As Wolf's song continued, the first two judges pushed their buttons and turned around. They, too, peered at the stage, trying to find the mysterious singer. As Wolf started the final chorus, the other two judges eagerly hit their buzzers.
The crowd drew in a breath as a cameraman moved on stage, zooming in on Wolf. The audience gasped in amazement as images of Wolf singing filled the arena TVs.
The judges were in awe. How could a voice this amazing come from a mouse? "We want you on our team!" said all four judges. Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee couldn't believe it! All four judges wanted them! Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee had a tough decision, but they knew who would give them the best advice.
"We would like the audience to help us decide!" said Mrs. Honeybee. The host nodded in approval.
"Okay, audience," he said. "If you would like Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee to be on Ms. Foster's team, please cheer as loud as you can…If you would like Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee to be on Mr. McSorley's team, cheer as loud as you can…If you would like Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee to be on Ms. Lieberman's team, cheer as loud as you can…and, finally, if you would like Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee to be on Mr. Dant's team, cheer as loud as you can!
Well, congratulations, Wolf and Mrs. Honeybee! The audience has voted, and they would like to see you move on to the next round with Mr. Dant!"

What My Daughter Told Second Graders About Middle School
Recently, I was proud of my daughter for making the most of a special opportunity to give back to her community and help a group of younger scholars.
Family Spotlight: Two Scholars, Two Jobs, & One Incredible Dad
We have a lot of respect for Mr. Blake, and I wanted to find out how he does it, why he chose Success, and what advice he has for other families.


I have ALWAYS loved mercury glass. I remember seeing it for the first time actually in Kirklands when I was newly married and wanting every single thing that they made in it. But being young and newly married, I couldn't actually afford any of it so I just drooled.
Then a few years ago Pinterest came along and MIND BLOWN… you can make the stuff yourself! Well it isn't real mercury glass, but a pretty nice faux mercury glass look. So I put it on the to do list. Now a few years later I finally got around to it. Can anyone relate?
I went through a bunch of tutorials and didn't actually even plan to make my own, but I ended up trying a bunch of different things, some were too simple, some didn't have the look I really wanted and then some had way too much texture while others ended up with almost none. So I took everything I tried, then decided to break all of the rules and try something new and finally ending up with a finish I personally loved. So I wanted to share all the little details and exactly how I ended up getting this stunning gold marbleized faux mercury glass finish.
The whole process is actually super simple and from start to finish I can make one of these in less than five minutes. This tutorial is going to look super long though because I want to share each step and fully explain what I did and why. So don't be intimidated at the length, honestly, you make these even if you aren't the least bit crafty. It is pretty fool proof and really cool to watch the effect appear as a bonus!
To begin you are going to need a few things.
A few notes on the supplies. First, the spray paint has to be Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint. I had originally thought that I could get away with using just a silver metallic spray paint but this isn't the case. The Looking Glass spray paint is more expensive than the regular spray paint and not as widely available. I could only find it on Amazon and Hobby Lobby and they were close to the same price, although you might be able to hunt it down somewhere else in your local area. The reason why this paint is so important is that it isn't just metallic, as it dries it actually transforms into a mirror finish. It is super cool to watch and not something that a normal silver spray paint does at all. It turns out to be so reflective in fact that I had a ridiculously hard time getting good photographs of these ornaments once they were done. The photos really don't do them justice. They are jaw dropping in person.
Next you will definitely want a spray bottle that has a super fine mist. It will be much more difficult if yours does not and I can't say whether it will work or not. In the process you are working with very small amounts of liquid and this liquid reacts with the paint to remove portions so if you aren't getting really small droplets it really would be hard to do. When you fill the spray bottle up it doesn't have to be exact just roughly pour in about half of each vinegar and water and you will be good to go.
To prepare for the project, fill your spray bottle with half water and half vinegar and shake to combine. Either do this project outside or cover your work space with some heavy duty craft paper. Since you are spraying inside the glass ball, the paint is mostly contained, but you know… there are always those oopsies and that is no good inside… with spray paint…. With that said, I did this at my kitchen table with it covered. Also, grab and separate a few paper towels to have handy during the whole process.
1. Take the cap off of the ball so you can access the inside of it. Then spray 2 -3 short bursts of the Looking Glass Spray Paint inside the ornament. There will be a small pool of thin paint at the bottom of the ornament. Immediately start to swirl the ornament so that the paint covers the inside of the ornament as completely as possible. You might still have a small pool that will settle back down to the bottom once you upright it.
2. Immediately spray 1- 2 sprays of the water/vinegar mixture into the ornament over the wet paint. I try to aim it slightly different directions with each spray. Let it set for about 15-20 seconds then place a folded paper towel over the top and shake the ornament so that the wet paint does not pool anywhere and is moving continuously.
3. This next part takes a little more coordination but is still very simple. Use your hair dryer to start heating the bulb as you shake to start the drying process for the paint. Continue to shake until the pool is mostly gone, then point the hair dryer into the opening of the ornament and dry until all the paint has dried. You will be able to tell because it turns from a brushed silver looking color to a very shiny mirror like finish. You might notice that there are still some droplets of water and some of them might be trapped under the paint. This is okay and will add to the "speckled and cracked" look of the mercury glass. You can continue to the next step even if there are some water droplets as long as all the paint has turned to the mirror finish indicating that it is dry.
4. The ornament now has it's first coat of paint which will be fairly faint. Repeat this process 4-5 more times or until you reach the desired look for your mercury glass. Each layer will make the paint a bit more pronounced.
5. Once your ornament is coated fairly well and the last coat of spray paint is dry (you might still have some water droplets… that is okay!) Squirt 1-2 sprays of vinegar solution into your ornament and then a good, healthy squirt of the Dazzling Metallics gold paint inside. Swirl and shake the paint until is has completely coated the inside of the ball. You might have to add a bit more gold paint or water to get everything covered. You will notice in some places (mostly where the water droplets are) that the gold paint creeps underneath the mirror paint and this dries to a beautiful look. In the places where it doesn't go underneath but there are speckles, it will give the mercury glass more depth and dimension.
You can use the hair dryer to help dry the paint a bit and add additional layers of either gold or spray paint until you get it just the way you want it.
I personally LOVE the look of the subtle gold intermingled with the shiny metallic silver, but if you don't like it you can leave it out and just repeat layering with the spray paint and vinegar mixture until you get to your desired look. The other thing I experimented with was using black acrylic paint instead of the gold to give it more of an aged look. It did come out well, but really couldn't compare with the gold in my book! If that is more of your color scheme though it is definitely worth a try. I thought I had a picture of it but apparently didn't take one, so I will have to update it once I can get one in good light.
6. Let them dry. On one, I actually put the cap back on while it was still wet and hung it on the tree, so that is possible, but the rest I let sit in the container with the tops off over night just to make sure they were good and dry then slid the top back on in the morning.
7. Decorate as desired! I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out a family monogram from vinyl and applied it right to the front of the ornament. When you are applying vinyl to round surfaces, you want to make sure that you use thinner lines in your design. Apply starting in the middle and working your way to the outsides. It helps if you cut a few slits in your transfer paper so that it can give around your design. Remove the transfer paper and use a hair dryer to heat the vinyl slightly as you work out any kinks in it and make it smooth.
I added a bow with a little ribbon and boom, boutique worthy ornament in minutes. And since I have seen these selling in boutiques for $30+ I do't think I am too far off.
I did this with all ten of my ornaments and each one turned out unique but similar with the finish. You can see different views of the textures I was able to achieve by layering the spray paint and gold paint as I explained above. Most of the tutorials I read advised drying the spray paint and then using the vinegar solution to spray on to remove some. I did this several times and it didn't really turn out like I wanted. My experience was that it would remove larger chunks of paint rather than smaller speckles and then the sections would fill back up with paint on the next coat. It was still pretty but did not have nearly as much texture as the way I did it. Maybe the bigger reason was that it took ten times as long because you had to dry each between each coat. With three kids running around I definitely need the 5 minute method!
The first one might take a little longer while you get the hang of it but the next ornaments you should be able to do in just a few minutes each. Pretty soon you might turn into a little mercury glass factory when your friends and family find out you can make something so stunning! With a little customization they make a fantastic teacher gift, neighbor gift, or gift for co-workers!

Very pretty and different. I never would have guessed these were made at home. I think the lettering puts the finishing touch for sure, and you could really put anything on that fit your theme. Fun!
Thanks so much! I knew I wanted to try these this year, but wasn't thrilled with my first attempts. After a few different experiments though I honestly couldn't believe how gorgeous they turned out. And crazy easy too!
What lucky friends! I hope they come out every bit as beautiful as you imagine. I absolutely love mine!
Would it work with clear plastic ornaments?
I absolutely love your monogrammed mercury glass ornament! I'd like to make them for friends for Christmas. Do you know where I might be able to order the monograms like you used on your ornament?
I would try Etsy. Maybe search for vinyl monogram decal or custom vinyl decal. Good luck!
I keep trying to make them but after 4 coats, they are still light. Mine are nothing like the beautiful silver yours is. I haven't added gold paint to mine yet due to the lightness of the silver.
I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong!!
Yours is beautiful! Mine look…sick!
Are you using the mirror effect paint?
Yes. Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint.
I even tried spraying them without the vinegar water, just in case I mixed the vinegar too strong or something.
It gets much darker as it dries. Are you drying it in between coats with a hair dryer?
These are stunning! I'm changing my Christmas decor this year and these will fit in perfectly. I have a question. Would the plastic ornaments work as well as glass or do they need to be glass?
Thank you so much Camille! I absolutely love them! I haven't tried it with plastic but I think it will probably work. The paint doesn't work on porous surfaces like wood but seems to like non-porous surfaces. You might want to buy some of the paint and try it on some scrap plastic and see if you get the same sheen and if not, go with glass since you will be using the paint either way.
what size monogram did you use? 2inch?
I decided to use my bathroom sink as my workspace since the fan helps vent the smell of the spray paint. I laid an old hand towel in the sink and then didn't have to worry about dropping the ornament and breaking it. Plus I could just lay the ornament on the towel as I blow dried it. Any splashes of paint were easy to clean up with a magic eraser. These really came out pretty!
O M G what easy instructions! I'd been hanging on to some glass craft Christmas bulbs I got on holiday for 3 years (at least!) until I found the right thing to do with them! This was it! I used rust-o-Leum as I can't get krylon here but the technique still worked and they look fab. Oh and nice and quick too! Thank you!!!!

Georgia, which is located in the Caucasus region, has experienced years of extremely cruel armed conflicts. Children have suffered enormously and although their situation is now improving, it shows that certain people are still ignorant of their rights.
Almost one third of the population of Georgia lives below the poverty line. All the same, the country has had much economic progress, which has considerably reduced poverty but it is clear that it still exists. However, poverty affects the population very unevenly, as it depends on where they live. It has many harmful consequences for children, particularly in view of their access to accommodation, health services, education, etc.
The Georgian Constitution strongly guarantees the rule of no discrimination. Despite this, discrimination exists widely in the country. Thus, minority children, disabled children, refugees and even those from poor families are constantly victims of discrimination. They also suffer many other problems, which put a considerable strain on them enjoying their most fundamental rights.
Sexual discrimination also occurs in Georgia. Thus in practice, young girls do not have the same rights or options as boys.
In recent proposals, Georgia has made health one of its priorities and this endeavour has helped make a considerable progress in this area. However, there are still worrisome problems that require the state's attention.
Lately, pregnancy has become a source of many problems and as it poses dangers for women and unborn children by resulting in a high death rate of newborn babies as well as an increase in premature births.
In addition, geographically speaking, there is no guarantee that the available health services is be sufficient to cater to the entire population. This is illustrative in the fact that most remote rural areas do not have buildings and adequate materials to provide decent health facilities. In addition, in certain regions, the water available is of poor quality and this considerably increases the risks of disease and complications.
Almost 20% of children in Georgia are made to work in order to provide for their families. Because of their youth and ignorance, employers are often able get away with giving them extremely dangerous tasks with knowing that they will not complain. Hence, the working conditions of such children are often difficult, harsh and exhausting.
It is tragic to note that certain families encourage their children to work without sending them to school, due to their fragile economic situation. There are many unfavourable consequences of such a practice as it not only affects their physical health but also their morale, education and future.
In Georgia, the repercussions of armed conflicts are still largely visible, especially with relation to children. In fact, many children have suffered physical and mental trauma due to the violence they have seen.
In addition, approximately 30,000 people have been displaced because of conflicts and have become refugees in camps. Their new living conditions are in no way conducive for a child to develop in as there is limited or no leisure, sports or cultural activities and is rather detrimental for growing children as such activities provide them with many physical and mental benefits.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which was ratified by Georgia, guarantees Protection as a children's right. However, though children are theoretically kept in a "safe environment" to ensure that they get the best protection possible, realistically, they are still sometimes found in insecure and dangerous situations.
Illustrating such concerns are certain surveys which reveal that children have been victims of arbitrary arrests, bad treatment and roughness from presumably none other than the police. In addition, conditions of arrest are terrible as youth can be jailed very early, since the age of penal majority in Georgia is 12 years.
Similarly, even the family is sometimes unable to ensure the safety of the child. In fact, many children are victims of child abuse in their own homes. However Georgia is acting to eradicate this violence particularly by banning corporal punishment in schools, although this is widely accepted and occurs within families.
17 % of young women in Georgia are forced into marriage before the age of 18. They are therefore prepared for their duties as a wife very early on. These marriages often have detrimental repercussions on the health of young women who do not yet understand the consequences of marriage.
In Georgia, the rate of registering births is not very shocking as 92% of births are officially registered. However, with regards to applying the right to identity, it has many discrepancies. In fact, registering births today is much less common in children of minority groups, as well as children who are refugees or displaced. This brings about many major difficulties for these people because they cannot enjoy their rights as they are considered invisible in the eyes of society.

Putting Books to Work: The Bitter Side of Sweet
By Aimee Rogers
The Bitter Side of Sweet. Tara Sullivan. 2016. G.P. Putnam's Sons.
The Bitter Side of Sweet, which received four-star reviews from Kirkus, Booklist, Publisher's Weekly and School Library Journal, tells the story of Amadou, Seydou and Khadija, but in reality it is the story of thousands of children whose names, faces and fates are unknown to us. A word of caution about this young adult novel and its topics—the events in the story are difficult to read about, and readers will likely finish the book with an altered view of the world. In addition, it is a story that will remain with readers for a long time, if not forever.
Fifteen-year-old Amadou is from Mali, however, he and his 8-year-old brother, Seydou, find themselves working on a cacao farm in the Ivory Coast. Like many young people from their village, and across Mali, Amadou and Seydou left home to find work as the droughts and poverty that plague the country have made survival a daily struggle. The brothers planned to work for a season in the Ivory Coast and then return to their home and family with their earnings. But that was over two years ago and before they realized that they wouldn't be workers on a farm, but rather slaves. If someone doesn't meet the day's quota, talks back, attempts to run away, or commits any other kind of infraction that person faces a severe beating, withholding of food, other forms of torture, such as being locked overnight in the tool shed, or worse.
Seydou is the youngest on their cacao farm and Amadou, as his older brother, is extremely protective of him. Amadou is also wracked with guilt for what he sees as his part in getting Seydou into this inhumane situation. As a result of this protectiveness and guilt Amadou lets Seydou do very little of the more difficult or dangerous work, especially wielding a machete. Therefore, Amadou must often complete the work of two in order to keep himself and Seydou fed and safe from beatings. And when he isn't able to do the work of two, he sacrifices his food for Seydou and takes the beatings in his place.
Amadou's dreams and life change radically as the result of two unimaginable events. The first event, which ultimately leads to the second, is the arrival of Khadija. It's not unusual for new boys to be brought to the cacao farm to slave away alongside the others. However, they are usually brought in groups—Khadija arrives alone. Most new boys arrive scared and meek—Khadija arrives like a wildcat, fighting, biting, and trying to escape. Finally, in the two years that Amadou and Seydou have been on this cacao farm all the boys who have arrived have been boys—Khadija is a girl, which may be the most shocking part.
Khadija is undeterred and continues her fighting and attempts at escape. During one of her earlier escape attempts Khadija, who has been tied to a cacao tree by one of the bosses, tricks Seydou into getting close enough that she can snatch his machete and cut the rope that binds her. When Amadou discovers what happened he fears for Seydou's life as the retribution from the bosses for "helping" Khadija escape will no doubt be severe. Amadou quickly assumes the blame for Khadija's escape and while the bosses are not very convinced by his flimsy explanation of what happened, they are all too happy to punish someone. Amadou is forced to accompany one of the bosses, Moussa, as he tracks and recaptures Khadija. When the three return to camp Amadou receives the most vicious beating of his life.
Amadou is forced to stay and work at the camp, with Khadija, for several days as his injuries are still too bad to allow for him to easily climb cacao trees and chop down the cacao pods. His anxiety over Seydou's safety is eased slightly by Seydou's first successful day without him, but it continues to consume him as he tries to get enough work done at camp to impress the bosses and return to their good side. But these efforts are short lived as after a few days of being forced to work at the camp, Moussa returns from the day's work with news of the second event that radically changes Amadou's dreams and life. Moussa informs Amadou that he will be returning to work in the fields tomorrow as the crew lost a boy that day. When Amadou asks which boy, Moussa responds "Seydou."
The rest of The Bitter Side of Sweet tells of their journey to freedom and the horrors, kindnesses and realities they encounter on the way. Khadija shares her story and Amadou begins to understand why she is how she is, but even as he gets to know her better he feels like he knows less and less about her and her life. Along the way they, and the reader, learn more about the cacao and chocolate industry including the vast expanse of land and people, willingly and unwillingly, involved in the business of producing chocolate and the lengths that are gone to for profit and power. After reading this gripping novel chocolate will never taste as sweet.
Cross-Curricular Connections
Social studies/history, geography, economics, journalism, and math
Ideas for Classroom Use
Dying to Tell a Story
As Khadija shares her story with Amadou she explains that she ended up at the cacao farm because she was kidnapped from her home. She also reveals that her mother is a journalist and has been researching a secret topic, one that has prompted threatening phone calls to their home. Khadija believes that there is a connection between her mother's research and her kidnapping.
Unlike journalists in the United States who have the protection of the First Amendment, journalists in other places around the world often face retribution, threats, and even death as a result of the stories they research and publish. This can happen in the United States as well, but it is more widespread in other parts of the world.
The Committee to Protect Journalists reported that 69 journalists died on the job in 2015. Of these 69 deaths, 47 were victims of murder, with at least 28 of these 47 murder victims receiving death threats before they were killed.
The topics presented above provide a wealth of teaching and learning opportunities. Some of the issues or ideas that can be explored are as follows:
Freedom of speech is protected in the United States by the First Amendment. What does freedom of speech mean? What protections does the First Amendment provide for freedom of speech?
What are the topics or stories that have led to the threatening or killing of journalists? What do these topics or stories have in common? What do the threats and/or killings related to these topics or stories indicate about the topics and/or stories?
In the era of Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms, the reporting of news is changing as is the field of journalism. Is journalism becoming obsolete? What is the role of citizen journalists in this new era?
"I count the things that matter."
The first line of The Bitter Side of Sweet is "I count the things that matter." Amadou goes on, "Only twenty-five pods. Our sacks need to be full, at least forty or forty-five each, so I can get Seydou out of a beating. Really full if I want to get out of one too." Amadou spends his days obsessed with meeting the daily quota of cacao pods in order to protect him and his brother from a beating and hopefully to get them some food for the day.
Quotas rule the lives of many, such as those being paid by piece rate, those working on an assembly line, or those who work on commission. Piecework is when workers get paid a set amount for each item or unit they make or action they perform; for example, a seamstress may get paid for each collar she sews on to a shirt. Although not limited to the jobs held by children, women, and the working poor, the jobs held by these populations often involve quotas, piecework, assembly lines, or commissions.
In order to explore the pressures of working under a quota an assembly line can be created in the classroom. For example, students could assemble a predetermined design out of Legos, with each "worker" adding a specific piece or two to the total. There is an abundance of topics related to this type of work, including:
What types of industries use assembly lines? Why do these industries use assembly lines? What are the benefits of an assembly line? What is it like to work on an assembly line? Who regulates assembly lines? What does it mean for consumers when they buy products that have been made on an assembly line?
What industries rely on piecework? Why these industries? What is it like to do piecework? Who regulates piecework? What does it mean for consumers when they buy products that have been made through piecework?
Where Did This Come From?
The world has become a global marketplace; a single product can pass through numerous steps and hands before it arrives at our local store for us to purchase. The Bitter Side of Sweet provides insight into some of the beginning steps and hands involved in the making of the chocolate that we love. Sullivan also provides glances at some of the other steps in the production of chocolate, such as the transport of the dried cacao seeds to large warehouses.
Have students select a product and research the steps involved in its production. Students should consider the "who" involved in each of these steps as well as the "what" of the steps. If a product has steps that occur in different locations, students can create a production map that traces the route of a product and its components as it moves towards completion.
What's Fair About Fair Trade?
In her author's note, Sullivan mentions fair trade chocolate. She says, "Fair trade chocolate, produced by companies that guarantee a minimum price to growers even when international prices dip, is by no means the only answer. Nor is it an answer free of its own complications, as any long-term solution must address empowerment and education as well as economics. However, it is one way of tackling the root problem: the grinding poverty of the small growers who produce cacao." There are many aspects about the idea of fair trade products that can be taught and explored; here are some possibilities:
What does it mean for something to be fair trade?
What kind of products can be considered to be fair trade? What do these products have in common?
What is the impact of fair trade on workers? What is the impact of fair trade on employers? What is the impact of fair trade on consumers?
Additional Resources and Activities
Resources for Teachers: Chocolate Production and Child Slavery: On her website, Tara Sullivan, the author of The Bitter Side of Sweet, provides teaching resources for both of her young adult novels. Sullivan provides suggestions for what readers can do if they have been inspired to action by The Bitter Side of Sweet. She also discusses the idea of fair trade chocolate and supplies a list of other resources on the chocolate industry and modern day slavery.
"The Dark Side of Chocolate": This 45-minute documentary is a great companion to The Bitter Side of Sweet as it provides visuals for many of the objects, locations, and events that occur in the novel such as the cacao pods themselves and how they are harvested.

Polychrosis meliscia is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in New Zealand at the Kermadec Islands.

Taxonomy
This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1910 using specimens collected on Raoul Island and named Polychrosis meliscia. In 1972 J. S. Dugdale referred to this species as Lobesia meliscia. But in 1988 Dugdale discussed this species under its original name Polychrosis meliscia. This placement was confirmed in 2010 by Robert Hoare in the New Zealand  Inventory of Biodiversity where the species was again discussed under the name Polychrosis meliscia. The female holotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London.

Description
Meyrick described this species as follows:

Distribution

This species is found on the Kermadec Islands.
