Curiosity killed the cat, or so our education has conditioned us to believe. But what if the conventional teaching method wasn't the only way to educate your children - or even, perhaps, the best way?
Curiosity is valued above all else at the Tuatha Learning Centre - a new facility in the Ardagh Heritage and Creativity Centre that is seen as an "alternative to school" and is completely child-led.
That doesn't necessarily mean the children make all the rules. In fact, beyond looking after the safety of each other and having respect for the building in which they learn, there are no rules.
And it's not just a case of children running amok either. In fact, this type of learning is TUSLA-recognised and all children signed up to the new centre are registered as home-schooled.
"A hundred years ago, schools prepared young people to serve in the factories of the industrial world. So they were easily trained to do repetitive work," said Kathryn McCabe.
"I have a Masters in Education and Ecology so I looked a lot at progressive education and how children learn.
Essentially what the team of three - Kathryn McCabe, Annette Corkery and Ann Gerety-Smyth - is doing at Tuatha is preparing young people for an uncertain future by helping them to innovate and to learn in their own way.
"Because you're taking responsibility for your own learning, when you get as far as college, you're used to going out and looking for your own resources and not being told what you have to do. So it's not a big jump like it can be coming from school," explained Annette Corkery.
And, she added, similar learning structures in the US such as Sudbury have been hugely successful, with many children going on to have successful creative careers and many more pursuing a vocation in medicine or business.
"Ivy League Universities in the US are actually headhunting kids who learn in this way because these kids are not afraid to challenge the status quo," Kathryn agreed.
The thing about Sudbury and similar methods of learning is that the children can do what they want and still learn a lot in the process.
"All of human evolution, people were out doing things and children came and watched and they learned," said Annette.
The centre has been putting children back in touch with their own human nature and, more importantly, their own curiosity, which drives them to learn about the world around them.
"Squares roots came up the other day," Annette explained.
"Somebody asked what the square root of nine was and then we discussed square roots and how to get them. That just came up in conversation.
The centre is only a few weeks old so far and will have three cycles. The current cycle encourages children to learn about 'self' simply by exploring their surroundings and engaging with their thoughts through art, books and other resources. It's not really a new concept... rather an old one that has been given a new lease of life.
"Really, school is the experiment. It's 200 years old. Whereas everybody was home educated for centuries before that," Annette concluded.
Tuatha is open to young people between the ages of five and 18. For more information, visit tuathalearningcentre.blogspot.com or call Annette on 0863027602.


Beer and wine can be sold at the 16-screen movie theater under construction at the Epps Bridge Center, the Oconee County Commission decided Tuesday.
The commissioners at the meeting voted unanimously to grant the alcohol license to the Georgia Theatre Company's project at Epps Bridge for the restaurant portion of the theater, which includes one auditorium. Bo Chambliss, son of Sen. Saxby Chambliss and president of the company, allayed the commission's concerns of underage sales and keeping imbibers sectioned off from the general theater portion. He promised chokepoints manned by employees to ensure compliance with age limits and areas approved for alcohol consumption.
The theater on the Oconee Connector off Epps Bridge Road is scheduled to open June 14.
Commissioner Margaret Hale, the most vocally cautious of the proposal, cautioned Chambliss after her vote of approval to tread carefully with alcohol sales.
"I do pick up and call when there's a violation," Hale said, adding that this is a topic the county will take very seriously. "... This is really stretching the definition of a restaurant for me. So if you're going to do it, do it right."
Hale said she worried that alcohol sales at the theater would draw the already drunk from downtown Athens into Oconee for a late movie at a theater where they knew they could keep drinking.
Chambliss said the theater it owns at the Beechwood Shopping Center is going through a renovation of its own and plans to sell alcohol there in the fall.
The allowance of alcohol sales in Oconee County hinges on a section of the theater being dubbed a restaurant. As the plans stand now, the area with beer and wine sales is further back in the building from the concession area and separated from the rest of the theater. It would be open to ticket holders of all ages, but they would be able to take the food - and a beer, if of-age patrons chose - into an adjoining theater.
Chambliss said there would be a staff member at the choke point to ensure alcohol laws were being followed when patrons left the dining area to go to the theater. The theater will need to abide by county law, which requires three-fourths of revenue to come from food sales as well.
The classification of it as a restaurant drew criticism from one citizen, who said he didn't know of any other restaurants in the county that required a separate ticket to enjoy. Another person simply urged the commission not to allow another place in Oconee County to sell alcohol. But county officials told the commission that it follows the ordinance.
"It's a little different from our normal conception of a restaurant, but there's nothing in the definitions that the planning staff or I could see that this violates," County Attorney Daniel Haygood said.

Democrats Set Wednesday Vote for Amnesty and Company-Town Economy
Posted on November 20, 2019 November 20, 2019 by Neil Munro
The House judiciary committee will debate and vote Wednesday on a bill to award multiple amnesties to the agriculture industry's large illegal-immigrant workforce.
The "Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019" would also convert swathes of rural America into cheap-labor, low-tech company towns. The bill would allow employers to hire from the unlimited inflow of H-2A visa-workers whose low wages will be capped by government officials working hand-in-glove with cheap-labor employers — so leaving many Americans unemployed or underpaid in their own community.
"This is only a short-term—and despicable—solution for keeping workers on the farm," said NumbersUSA policy director Rosemary Jenks, who added;
Rather than providing incentives for mechanization to reduce the need for manual labor, or even just streamlining the existing H-2A program, the sponsors of H.R. 5038 decided that it is time to complete the hollowing out of several other industries, in addition to seasonal farm work. They kept the numerically unlimited H-2A [visa-worker] category for seasonal work, but created a new, non-seasonal, year-round category so that at least 20,000 (and potentially many more) low-paid foreign workers can be imported each year to work at dairies, meat-packing plants, fish canneries, nurseries, and more.
Some of the committee's Republicans will support the bill, predicted Jessica Vaughan, policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies. "I think they think it is a good thing for their community – but it is very shortsighted," she said
"They can't see the long-term cost of supporting this," she said, and continued:
It is going to create a perverse incentive to expand that [cheap labor] sector of the economy because it will be subsidized by the supply of cheap labor, and it will suck investment and energy out of other types of economic activities that would be more beneficial [because] it perpetuates an outdated way of doing things that is expensive for taxpayers and damaging for quality of life. It is not going to pay off or bring a lot of benefits for the local economy — it is a very short-sighted view.
The GOP members on the committee include Rep. Doug Collins from Georgia, Rep. James Sensenbrenner from Wisconsin, Rep.Steve Chabot from Ohio, Rep. Louie Gohmert from Texas, Rep.Jim Jordan from Ohio, Rep.Ken Buck from Colorado, Rep.John Ratcliffe from Texas, Rep. Martha Roby from Alabama, Rep. Matt Gaetz from Florida, Rep. Mike Johnson from Louisiana, Rep. Debbie Lesko from Arizona, Rep.Guy Reschenthaler from Ohio, Rep. Ben Cline from Virginia, Rep. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, and Rep.Gregory Steube of Florida.
Some of the Republicans believe employers are entitled to a government-supplied labor supply, which would free them from the requirement to bargain with employees to set a fair day's wage.
Democrats draft crony amnesty bill to give the farm industry cheaper labor now in a swap for 1 million+ illegal-migrant voters after 2030. But it offers nothing to Americans who lose wages, nor $$ to hasten labor-saving automation. A giveaway like #S386 https://t.co/lSE1pQ6ZJF
— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) October 30, 2019
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC says it will asks it members to oppose the amnesty:
ALIPAC believes the Amnesty bill will convert millions of illegals into US citizens, tilting all future national elections, and many states over to the socialist wing of the Democratic Party permanently as American voters and workers cannot compete with unending waves of illegals from around the world.
"We have defeated AgJobs Amnesty bills like HR 4916 before because Amnesty bills would encourage millions of future illegals to enter the US while rewarding left wing politicians and candidates and greedy corporations with a new population to be intentionally used to displace and replace Americans in our jobs, elections, schools, health care resources, and communities," explained William Gheen, President of ALIPAC.us.
The H.R. 5038 bill, said Jenks, starts by giving:
amnesty—including work permits, green cards, and a path to citizenship—to illegal aliens who have been unlawfully employed in agriculture at least part-time during the past two years. In fact, illegal aliens who spent just most weekends working in agriculture over two years would qualify, since only 1,035 hours or 180 workdays are required.
The illegal workers would first get a "Certified Agriculture Worker" status and a work permit that allow them to compete for jobs throughout the United States. The CAW status could be converted after several years into the huge reward of citizenship for the workers and their families.
The mass amnesty and the CAW work-permits, however, will ensure that a large share of the former illegals — roughly 500,000 workers plus their families — will quickly migrate from the farms to the nation's cities and towns. The huge supply of cheap labor will help suppress wages for Americans — including legal immigrants — and so further raise support for the big-government, tax-and-spend policies championed by the Democratic Party.
On the farms, and in the meat-processing plants, the departing illegals will be replaced by the uncapped and permanent inflow of low-wage H-2A workers, whose wages will be set by government agencies, not by a free market. This endless supply of regulated and cheap labor will minimize the need for farm companies and meat-processors to upgrade their technology or to pay the higher wages needed for prosperity in the rural towns. According to Jenks:
The sponsors of the Farm Workforce Modernization Act decided to address this problem by regressing to the 17th Century practice of indenturing these newly amnestied agricultural workers for various durations.
The same replacement policy has been used in the technology sector, ensuring that many Americans graduates have been sidelined while jobs and opportunities are hoarded by the Indian workers and managers who were hired by U.S. investors via the H-1B program. The H-1B program keeps roughly 750,000 foreign graduates in U.S. white-collar jobs, so pushing Americans out of critical jobs, such as information security, privacy protection, recruitment, technology development, and much else.
Many of the Indian H-1B workers are working while hoping to win the huge prize of citizenship from their original employers. That dangled prize makes them immobile, putting them in a situation similar to indentured workers in the 1700s.
Some GOP Senators are now pushing a bill — S.386 — which would expand the use of indentured white-collar workers by offering to eventually reward more Indian graduates if they take the white-collar jobs sought by U.S. college graduates.
In the House judiciary committee, Rep. Buck from Colorado sponsored the House version of the S.386 bill.
The farm amnesty bill offers 40,000 green-cards to H-2A workers each year, so encouraging them to accept lower wages in the hope of getting citizenship.
House ag-worker amnesty bill is progressive cronyism; Dems get 500K extra voters by 2030, while ag-biz degrades farm communities into 'company towns.' Americans lose wages, wealth & communities, but media will treat the debate as 'civil rights' vs 'racism' https://t.co/c955wJ16af

The likely impact of this rural cheap-labor economy is spotlighted by Worthington, Minn., where local business groups and progressives have jointly welcomed waves of low-wage migrants into the city's retail and slaughterhouse jobs, into housing, and into the schools.
The migrants include many illegals who sneaked across the border, as well as many Central Americans who used border-law loopholes to get temporarily released into the United States. Many of these migrants also use the joint cartel-federal "Unaccompanied Alien Child" route to bring their children up from the border.
This illegal and semi-legal population provides many new customers to local retailers, landlords, and education officials, a steady supply of replacement labor to the 2,000-person JBS slaughterhouse, and an easy opportunity for local elites to dismiss civic and economic concerns as mere bigotry. The Star Tribune reported:
"In the downtown, all the storefronts are full and it's busy," said Sharon Johnson, a lifelong resident who owns a downtown jewelry store and also serves as director of community education. "The cultures we are exposed to through music and food and art have really made this a wonderful place to live."
Bill Keitel owns Buffalo Billfold Co., a leather goods shop, and also owns rental property. "As a landlord, if I didn't have these immigrants, my property values would plummet — as would everybody's," he said. "I look on them as our salvation, not our problem."
Mike Kuhle, the Worthington mayor, celebrated the JBS factory and its imported workforce:
The JBS pork processing plant has grown because of the available workforce in our community. Its economic impact on our community and surrounding area is around $100 million in the form of wages, real estate taxes, sales taxes and hogs purchased from farmers within 100 miles of Worthington. Approximately 24,000 hogs are processed each day, from which the farmers benefit financially. The crops they grow that are turned into feed help to increase the value of their products. The hog facilities needed to grow the animals to meet the demand of JBS are an important source of income as well.
In the end. immigrants just want a chance for a better life, and the children want to be united with their families. Worthington needs employees to grow and prosper.
But local voters — who are mostly employees, such as truck drivers — repeatedly rejected a string of tax-raising proposals by the local council which wants to expand the local school for the child migrants.
In response, the Tribune printed the claim by employers that "racist element" among the voters opposed the tax increases to benefit the children of illegal migrants. The claim came from Linden Olson, who is a retired farmer and the treasurer of the school board:
In Olson's view, the nearly $34 million bonding request, most of it slated for a new intermediate school, faces opposition from three groups: older residents, farmers concerned about taxes and "the racist element."
"In my opinion, there is a sizable number of voters in our district that will not support any bond referendum for schools because they do not want to pay to educate 'those kids,'?" Olson said. "There is a very strong racist attitude that is present and that few people are willing to deal with."
The mayor also blamed the class dispute on unidentified racists, not on the city elite's welcome for illegal labor:
I believe that the majority of our residents are not racist, but circumstances beyond our control are causing the problems.
Instead of recognizing the class politics, the Washington Post played up the racist claim, and hid the evidence that many of the imported workers are illegals who force down Americans' wages and nudge up their rents:
Those [school] children, some of whom crossed the U.S.-Mexico border alone, have fueled a bitter debate about immigration in Worthington, a community of 13,000 that has received more unaccompanied minors per capita than almost anywhere in the country, according to data from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
Five times in just over five years, the district has asked residents to approve an expansion of its schools to handle the surge in enrollment. Five times, the voters have refused — the last time by a margin of just 17 votes. A sixth referendum is scheduled for November.
But the Post inadvertently showed how the inflow of migrants suppresses Americans' wages:
One 17-year-old asylum seeker from Guatemala said he cleaned a meatpacking plant by night, attended class by day and milked cows in the afternoon before grabbing a few hours of sleep.
But he could never fully repay the Worthington relative with whom he was living. Now 18, he's dropped out of school, moved to another state and works construction. His asylum hearing is scheduled for March in Minneapolis but he fears he won't have the money to attend, forfeiting his already uphill battle for asylum.
On November 5, local business leaders narrowly defeated the voters — 1,719 to 1,700 — to impose $34 million in spending on town's taxpayers. The Bemidji Pioneer reported:
Worthington School District residents approved all three of the district's referendum questions. Passage of all three questions means the district gave the green light for the district to sell up to $33.7 million in general obligation bonds to construct a new intermediate school designed to educate 900 third , fourth and fifth-grade students. The district is [also] committing $5 million from its general fund to account for the estimated $38.7 million project.
The example of Worthington shows how the economies and cultures of America's towns can be reshaped by the federal government's supply of cheap labor, said Vaughan:
There is a cultural clash because a lot of these workers come from parts of the world where the social norms are different – they don't have a lot of experience driving, their family networks are not present — which [otherwise] would be a normal constraint on their behavior.
The economic and civic problems brought by illegal migration will not be waived away by legalization, she said. "The displacement of American workers that happened, the strains on the school system from families settling in the area, and the accompanying criminal problems, such as drug trafficking and prostitution rings. These things go along with allowing the establishment of sizeable populations of illegal young male workers."
WSJ shows Donald Trump is building a high-low GOP which combines wealthy & more blue-collar employees. Dems have a similar high-low blend of progressives & non-white poor. So who champions the economic needs of mid-career college graduates? https://t.co/QldX2jVqEi
Some Democrats may vote against the amnesty, Vaughan said.
She warned that "Democrats who are willing to stay true to their principles of opposing legislation that is bad for employees …are out-numbered and out-maneuvered by the more-immigration faction, the progressives who only want more immigrants, regardless of the effect on American employees or immigrant workers."
Some Republicans are going to vote for the amnesty, Vaughan said. 'I think they think it is a good thing for their community — but it is very short-sighted. They can't see the long-term cost of supporting this."

Major League BaseballAmerican LeagueAmerican League East
Travis Shaw Arrived On The Scene Just In Time
Gabriel Bogart
American League East, Boston Red Sox, Breaking News, Features, Headlines, Opinions & Predictions
In the bottom of the second inning on Friday, Travis Shaw doubled off Kansas City Royals' starter Johnny Cueto to right on a line drive. The Boston Red Sox' new first baseman would be driven in by Blake Swihart two hitters later. Shaw was followed quickly across home plate by Rusney Castillo after an error by Alcides Escobar. The score stood at 2-0. Before the inning ended, Mookie Betts would drive in Swihart to give Henry Owens a nice 3-0 lead.
Moments like these, again, instill some drunken sense of hope for my beloved Sox moving forward. I really don't think we'll see some miraculous return to a long playoff run in 2016, but I do see a nice core of young position players coming into their own, yet together. Think about it, that half inning's three runs were all produced by players 25 or younger aside from Castillo and he's also new to the club. His rookie status remains intact through the end of the season; he's only amassed 191 career PA's before Friday night's game. If only I had that simmeringly just-above-neutral outlook for Sox pitching, good gods they suck.
Okay, maybe Eduardo Rodriguez and Henry Owens could round into form, but the rest of the rotation blows chunks. Anyways, I'm here to talk about Shaw and that young, emerging core.
In just his first 25 major league games, Shaw has produced 1.6 WAR (what the sh*t?!?), good for seventh best on the team for the season. Mookie Magic, who has six times as many PAs, leads the team with 4.1 WAR. So, in a very simple extrapolation, Shaw could be producing at a 9.6 WAR clip. That's insane, possibly Trout-ian. In a similar sample size projection from ZiPS (24 games/99 PAs) before the season, Dan Szymborski saw Shaw producing 1.5 WAR – excellent work, Dan! – with a 94 wRC+. Shaw is sinking Dan's battleship with a 205 wRC+. In other words, 32 points higher in wRC+ than Mike Trout. I know that's an impossible comparison to make, so quit banning me from the next SABR convention. It's fun, specially when your team should be on the barge that takes the trash to the landfill, to imagine that your new first baseman might just be a total masher. Has a minor deity of hitting prowess arrived in time to become the new anchor of the lineup for the next 12 years? I certainly hope so.
Then again, my conviction sunk a little bit when I looked up his prospect rankings. According MLB.com's prospect pipeline rankings, Shaw is the 28th-ranked prospect in the Red Sox organization. That's not 28th in all of baseball; Shaw didn't even make Baseball America's 2015 Top 100. They ranked him as the Sox' 19th best prospect. Projection is not my specialty, being a knowledgeable smart ass is. With that said, I'd still be very happy with a full season of 80% of his current slash line, .382/.427/.691. At that rate, he'd still put up an OPS of .893. As a point of reference, that is exactly 200 points higher than the guy he replaced in Mike Napoli. Don't get me wrong, I will forever love Nap – particularly the drunk and shirtless one-beard parade through Boston after the 2013 World Series win – he's just aging and declining faster than anticipated.
Again, back to Shaw. The analysis in the following clip actually makes me think that, even after some regression that's due to come for Shaw, we might be seeing the real deal.
Whatever the future holds, it sure is fun to watch these young guys come up and have a positive effect on a dismal season. So, in closing, I would like to address David Dombrowski directly (in my delusional state imagining he's actually listening). Dear Mr. Dombrowski, please don't be foolish enough to clean out the farm for glitzy, shiny and overpriced veterans. You have a strong, young core solidifying before your eyes in Swihart, Bogaerts, Betts, Shaw, Holt, Castillo, Rodriguez, and Owens. Don't screw this up.

As a teenager, I fell in love with a powerhouse SuperSonics team and was later to have my basketball heart ripped out. My love of baseball came slow, but am now a frothing fanatic.

Today I think I will talk about connection and the simple joy of it. We make a thousand connections every day, whether or not we realize it. We affect others by what we say, what we do. I took notice of two such moments today (this is being written on Tuesday… Lol). It made me think. I have always wondered about how people see me, what they see in me to be exact.
Now, that is not me looking for the pat on the head. I honestly think that I am not seeing in myself what everyone else does. It makes me feel like a superstar when I have those connections.
Lately I've seen more of those. I am finding my tribe. People who are so much similar to me that I feel them vibrate. People who I know that I can trust absolutely. And it feels amazing.
My tribe sees me, sees the lingering insanity that I barely contain. They trust me, and I have felt their love.
That is my biggest wish for each of you… That someday you'll find your tribe.

Chelsea Clinton backs ban on gay 'cure' therapy
Nick Duffy August 31, 2018
Chelsea Clinton (Noam Galai/Getty)
Chelsea Clinton has said that gay 'cure' therapy should be "illegal everywhere," after a continued backlash against Facebook over ads promoting the discredited practice.
Clinton was responding after news, first broken by PinkNews in February 2017, that a gay 'cure' group had taken out adverts on the social media giant targeting vulnerable LGBT+ people.
Facebook told PinkNews it would act on the issue at the time, but further investigations in January 2018 found that the same group was still serving videos aimed at promoting conversion therapy to LGBT+ users via the platform.
The story resurfaced in the Telegraph last week.
Responding to the news, Chelsea Clinton tweeted: "Child abuse. 'Conversion therapy' is child abuse. There are not two sides to this question and these ads – and the practices they promote – should be illegal everywhere. Full stop."
Gay 'cure' therapy is currently only banned in 16 US states, and bills tackling the practice elsewhere have faced opposition from hardline Republicans. The Governor of Maine vetoed a bill to ban the practice in July.
Efforts in Congress to introduce a federal law, spearheaded by Democratic Senators Patty Murray and Cory Booker, have gained little traction.
The ads were produced by Anchored North, a US-based evangelical group who are extremely open about their use of "next-generation evangelism" on social media to target "sinners", who they say are in the grasp of "evil".
In addition to the ads targeted at gay people, the group's videos take aim at women considering abortion and atheists.
A spokesperson said: "We're missionaries and evangelists using the tools of our time to reach people with the gospel."
Explaining the decline of church attendance, they added: "If they're not going to be in churches, we have to reach them where they're at, and where they're at is on the internet, consuming media. They're being lied to left and right and they're being torn apart by darkness, by sin, by evil.
"The internet gives us the ability to throw the seeds of God's word out like wildfire."
A statement from Facebook said: "We have rejected these ads and they are no longer running on Facebook."
A spokesperson continued: "We do not allow ads that promote gay conversion therapy or that imply personal attributes about people, like their sexual orientation."
"We quickly removed these ads after further review. While enforcement is never perfect, we're always working to find and remove ads that violate our policies."

Q: Absolutely continuous part of $\mu$ wrt $\nu$ as quotient $\lim \mu(A)/\nu(A)?$ as $A$ tend to singleton? If I have two measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ and I want to compute the absolutely continuous part $\mu_a$ of $\mu$ with respect to $\nu$, can this be achieved somehow by taking quotients like
$$
\frac{d\mu_a}{d\nu}(x)=\lim_{A \to \{x\}}\frac{\mu(A)}{\nu(A)}.
$$
If this doesn't work does something similar work?
I'm happy to assume $\mu,\nu$ are Borel probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$ if it makes any difference.
Edit: Note: Theorem 7.14 in Rudin's Real and Complex Analysis is exactly that the result holds for $\nu$-a.e. $x$, when $\nu$ is Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^k$.

Superhydrophobic leaf cuticles retain thin gas films during submergence and this feature greatly enhances gas exchange with the floodwater. Here we show that the superhydrophobic properties are controlled by only one gene, the Leaf Gas Film 1 (LGF1). The discovery of the gene is likely going to have huge impact on future breeding effort where plant biologists aim at producing plants that are better suited for the climate changes that predicts more frequent flood events. This paper is the result of a true inter-disciplinary collaboration between the University of Copenhagen, The University of Western Australia and Nagoya University.
This is an UPDATE on regulation of root traits for internal aeration and tolerance to soil waterlogging-flooding stress. We provide an update on aerenchyma formation, the formation of a ROL barrier and on green photosynthetic adventitious aquatic roots.

Q: OpenGL vs QOpenGL/QtOpenGL in Qt 5: differences and limitations? Since there are two ways to use OpenGL with Qt 5 (QOpenGL/QtOpenGL wrapper and regular OpenGL API), I wonder what are the limitations of each one. Could someone tell if there are limitations with QOpenGL wrapper that I should be aware of?
The reason I am asking this is because I don't want to start using QOpenGL wrapper and find out that I can't use the full capability of OpenGL API. Does anyone have experience with both and could provide some hints in terms of capability, performance and ease of use?

A:
I don't want to start using QOpenGL wrapper and find out that I can't use the full capability of OpenGL API

Well, Qt 5.0's OpenGL wrappers are built on top of the OpenGL ES (Embedded Systems) 2.0 specification which is essentially a watered down version of the desktop OpenGL 3.0 specification. Qt chose this specification to facilitate portability as it is widely supported by mobile platforms in addition being supported on nearly all modern PCs. If you choose to use the Qt wrappers you have to work around the shortcomings of the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification which, for the most part, fall into the following categories:

*

*No fixed-function pipeline capabilities. (no transformation stack, glBegin,glEnd,glLightf,etc..)

*No support for advanced OpenGL 3+ capabilities or support only in extensions. (texture buffer objects, compute shaders, atomic load-store textures, tessellation shaders,  uniform buffer objects etc..)

*Lack of certain texture formats (integer textures, image textures, etc..)

*Small differences in GLSL syntax & semantics. (lack of layout qualifiers, data precision requirements via highp, lowp declarations, etc..)

*Lack of some convenience methods. (glBlitFramebuffer,glMultiDrawArrays, glDrawRangeElements, etc..)

For a full description of the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification look here.
However, This lack of features does not mean that the Qt wrappers can not accomplish what you need. Although OpenGL ES 2.0 is missing a lot of helpful functionality, you can still accomplish 99% of what the full desktop OpenGL specification would allow. If you decide to utilize a desktop OpenGL specification via custom wrappers, Qt can still manage the creation & windowing of desktop OpenGL contexts through the use of the QGLFormat class.
Keep in mind that if you decide to use desktop OpenGL wrappers, and utilize these within a Qt application, some classes provided by Qt may interfere with the operation of your custom wrappers. For example, QPainter operations on a QGLWidget may utilize functionality of the OpenGL ES specification and might interfere with the operation of your wrapper objects.
Personally, I prefer to use custom OpenGL wrappers as I greatly prefer the desktop OpenGL specifications as the feature sets are better defined and they provide more options to tackle a problem with. On the other hand, Qt 5 provides some absolutely fantastic architectures for making quick, powerful dynamic user interfaces using OpenGL ES. (Through by QtQuick 2 and QML)
Which API suits your needs best essentially comes down to whether or not you are targeting embedded or mobile platforms (in which case your forced to use OpenGL ES), and whether you are willing to sacrifice additional development time writing and maintaining custom OpenGL 3+ wrappers.

1 ü A al Convention Is Called - during the summer of 1787, 12 states sent delegates to Philadelphia to discuss amending the Articles of Confederation - the example set by Shays Rebellion proved our young nation had to change many of the states tax laws
2 ü The Convention s Delegates - 55 men were present at Philadelphia s al Convention, which we call our Founding Fathers. - Those present were George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, & James Madison. Benjamin Franklin George Washington James Madison
3 - Thomas Jefferson & John Adams were not present because they were serving as ambassadors overseas. - The convention did not accurately reflect America s diversity as women, Native Americans, & African Americans were not represented! - These leaders did not believe them to be citizens, so none were invited. - Patrick Henry did not attend (he didn t want a monarchy). Thomas Jefferson John Adams Patrick Henry
4 ü The Delegates Assemble - Most weren t sure if a new government was to be created, but they all agreed that government should protect people s rights. - The ultimate goal was to create a strong, but limited federal government. - The government had to be strong enough to protect people s rights but not too strong to be controlled. James Madison Father of the
5 ü The Convention Begins - George Washington was voted as president of the convention and set a serious tone for the convention. - All discussions remained a secret and windows were covered. - Guards were posted outside the doors so the delegates could speak privately!
6 ü The Virginia Plan - Madison & Edmund Randolph proposed a plan for a whole new government, called the Virginia Plan. - The plan had three branches of government: legislative branch to create laws, executive branch to enforce the laws, and the judiciary branch to interpret the laws.
7 - The plan also proposed a legislature with two houses, with representatives from each state based on population or wealth. - Larger states obviously supported the plan but the smaller ones were greatly opposed. ü The Great Compromise - In response to the Virginia Plan, William Paterson presented the New Jersey Plan as an alternative. - The plan called for one house with one vote from each state, so all states would be represented equally.
8 - The delegates voted on both plans and the Virginia Plan won. - A selected committee was formed to organize a compromise between the two plans, called the Great Compromise. - The plan called for equal votes in the Senate, but votes in the House of Representatives, equal to population distribution.
11 ü Slavery & the - Southern states wanted slaves to be considered a part of their population, but the Northern states only wanted them to be counted for taxation purposes. -The compromise the delegates came up with was called the Three-Fifths Compromise. - Three-Fifths of the slave population would be counted when setting direct taxes and the three-fifths ratio would be used for representation too. - The delegates also voted that they could not ban the slave trade until 1808 (20 year period from 1788).
13 3 slaves were equal to 5 whites!!!
14 ü Regulating Trade - The delegates voted to have Congress regulate trade, but the Southern states succeeded in preventing Congress from taxing exports. - On September 17, 1787, thirty-nine delegates signed the and it was ready to be sent to the states for ratification. - 9 of the 13 states needed to sign for the to be approved.

Talking Tools
Students, faculty and visiting artists consider the link between digital interfaces and the imagination as part of RISD's new tool ( ) series.
Panelist Brooks Hagan MFA 02 TX showed the infamous 16th-century RHINOCEROS woodcut Albrecht Dürer created based on a written description of the actual beast as an early example of an interface gone wrong.
This spring's multidisciplinary tool ( ) forum—conceived by Architecture Critic Joy Ko in partnership with four departments and the RISD Code Studio—continued last week with the second of three open discussions designed to take stock of a range of digital and analogue tools used in creative practice today. Through focused sessions in February, March and April, tool ( ) is bringing together "practitioners pushing the frontier of current modes of artistic and design production, students and academics who integrate learning and teaching with tool-making, and industry players who are developing these tools of trade for widespread use," Ko explains on the forum site.
The series began in late February with a discussion centered on Artisan-Toolmaker, asking participants to consider the most meaningful, novel, strange or provocative tools they use or only dream about using. Last week's session on Interfaces<->Imagination—moderated by Assistant Professor of Textiles Brooks Hagan MFA 02 TX—brought together several RISD faculty members, 3D printing expert Duann Scott (who runs the NYC-based consultancy Bits to Atoms) and visiting artist/coder Robert Hodgin 98 SC, who also presented a talk on his groundbreaking digital designs the following evening. Panelists were asked to consider the changing role of interfaces in the world of digital design and how notions of transparency and crowd-sourcing have played into their own creative practices.
Ko kicked off the conversation by noting that the interface-imagination relationship goes two ways and postulated that most users would describe the best interfaces as "seamless" or "frictionless." While Hodgin immediately concurred, noting that he only notices interfaces when they disappoint him, other panelists disagreed. "A proper interface should introduce a little friction," Associate Professor of Industrial Design Paolo Cardini maintained, "in order to reflect the relationship between the designer and the user."
Assistant Professor of Industrial Design Cas Holman pointed out that in the quickly evolving world of digital design, that relationship is in flux. And Scott agreed, noting, "I meet with designers regularly to see how they're using digital tools and how interfaces can change to meet their needs. The best designers I know are creating their own interfaces."
In comparing this idea to the analogue notion of jigs and fixtures, Holman joked that she's sometimes more enamored with the jigs she makes than the objects they're designed to help fabricate. Digital + Media Critic Evelyn Eastmond MFA 12 DM—a former software engineer who only recently began working non-digitally—noted how critical that kind of ingenuity is at RISD. But Hodgin pointed out the downside: getting distracted from his real goals by the tools he needs to make in order to reach them. "It's like a painter who gets obsessed with creating the perfect brush and never gets any paint on the canvas," he quipped.
Panelists agreed that some tools and interfaces completely change the user's way of thinking. For Cardini, the entire premise of open-source design and unlimited online resources has turned his process on its head. And Hagan said that the visual quality of Nodebox freeware "spoke [his] language and shaped [his] imagination in new ways."
Holman suggested that regardless of the tools used, the role of the designer is fundamentally changing to that of "meta-designer," with the end-user in effect becoming the designer. Her goal, she said, is to create designs that set people up for success. "And I never want to include instructions," she added, noting that "if the client can't figure out how to use it, I've failed as a designer."
The third and final installment of tool ( ) is scheduled for April 15–16 and will include a multidisciplinary discussion on Place: Applications/Implications.
Critical Design Can Change the World
In early May members of the RISD and Brown communities came together to share thoughts at the second annual Critical Design/Critical Futures symposium.
Illustrator as Public Intellectual
In delivering the keynote address at an international gathering of illustrators, Rick Poyner challenged the audience to think about what the title of the symposium really means.
Uncreative Practices
Poet and provocateur Kenneth Goldsmith 84 SC leads a cross-disciplinary discussion about questions of plagiarism and originality in art, design and higher ed.


In addition to the local village pub, The Star, which is very close to Drakestone Cottage, there are three others nearby, two of which are walkable along a quiet road. There are also several others within a 10 mile radius, including in the market town of Rothbury which is a 10-15 minute drive from the cottage. The three shown here are dog-friendly and The Star is dog-friendly in the beer garden only.
There is one pub less than a mile from Stanegate Cottage, which is easily walkable along a path through the village. There are two others within a short drive away and also several others within a 10 mile radius, including in the market town of Hexham which is about 4 miles from the cottage. All three shown here are dog-friendly.
