Otto Nicli·
Black Country, New Road released their debut album, For the First Time on January 5th, 2021. Almost exactly a year later, they return with Ants from Up There. Although the band was quite hyped by the time their debut album was released, that admiration grew tenfold in the intervening 364 days. By the time Ants from Up There was released, BC, NR had already cemented themselves as one of the preeminent new voices in Indie music.
Four days before Ants from Up There was released, Black Country, New Road announced frontman Isaac Wood would be departing the group. Wood—whose deep London drawl and matter-of-fact lyricism elevated each BC, NR song into the stratosphere—cited struggles with mental health for his departure. The announcement of Wood's departure was fresh on everyone's minds when Ants from Up There was released on February 5th, 2022.

Upon first listen, Ants from Up There is immediately more approachable than their debut album. While it's not as abrasive, frantic, or brooding as For the First Time, Ants from Up There packs a subversive emotional punch. It's a bittersweet album, as Wood's strained vocals bring about a sense of melancholy. This is—at least for the foreseeable future—the last BC, NR album to feature Wood on lead vocals. It's almost like an unexpected farewell letter, making each track more important than the last. You want to listen intently to each and every word Wood sings, to feel his pain and experience it along with him. Many musicians open themselves up to audiences, bearing their emotional weaknesses for all. It's understandable why many musicians tear themselves away from the spotlight, even after achieving success.
While a lot of the conversation around Ants from Up There naturally revolves around Wood's sudden departure, it's crucial to not forget the rest of the band. Now a six-piece, Black Country, New Road is Tyler Hyde (bass, vocals), Lewis Evans (saxophone), Georgia Ellery (violin), May Kershaw (keys, vocals), Charlie Wayne (drums), and Luke Mark (guitar). In Ants from Up There, the band embraces the sounds of early Indie. The eighth (and greatest) track, "The Place Where He Inserted the Blade," is both nostalgic yet new, sounding like an glistening unreleased demo from Arcade Fire's baroque-inspired debut album Funeral.
Similarly, the soft saxophone, guitar, and bass that slowly build up throughout the first few minutes of the ninth track, "Snow Globes" elicits memories of foregone days. As the song continues, however, the drums take on a crazed rush. Within the cacophony, Wood repeats the lines, "Oh, god of weather, Henry knows snow globes don't shake on their own." At first, he sings the lines with his signature detached tone, then his voice grows louder and it starts to quiver, as if on the brink of breaking. This moment is one of the most emotional ones on the album.
Countless times throughout the album, BC, NR creates moments that elicit drastic emotional responses. It's incredible this is their second album in such a short amount of time. They have a sense of maturity often reserved for much more established acts, yet they display the same burning passion that catapulted them into the forefront of modern music.
Although Black Country, New Road will still continue, this is seemingly the end of the Isaac Wood-fronted iteration of the band. We are left with two incredible albums which will be stewed over, enjoyed, and directed for many years to come. I can see For the First Time and Ants from Up There becoming this generation's On Avery Island and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea or Unknown Pleasures and Closer. Wood, similarly to Jeff Mangum and Ian Curtis, bared his soul in his songs, showing an incredible degree of vulnerability and openness. It's apparent in the way he delivered his vocals. Simply listen to the way his voice strains as he shouts in the final track, "Basketball Shoes."
Agnes Obel – Myopia
Black Country, New Road will, undoubtedly, continue to be a powerful force in music for years to come. The band is already working on new material. The future is bright and knowing how quickly they were able to write and record such a great album as Ants from Up There, perhaps we won't have to wait too long to hear even more great material from Black Country, New Road. For now, however, they've given us more than enough to keep us ruminating in our own internal inadequacies and uncertainties.

Q: Simulator list disappears in Xcode 6.1 after installing Xcode 6.3 I downloaded new Xcode 6.3 and while installation (with drag-n-drop feature, not using App-Store) it asked me if I want to keep both or replace the old Xcode 6.1. I kept both for some reasons. But after installation new Xcode 6.3 works fine but I'm missing simulator list in  old Xcode 6.1. It only shows iOS Device on the list. Yes, I created and replaced with several new scheme, tried to edit it. Also tried to add simulators from Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> iOS Simulator an then Hardware > Device > Manage Devices from here and here. In this process simulator even shows up. I checked package contents of Xcode 6.1. Platforms (both OS and Simulator) are all there. I know I can restore it by deleting from application folder and reinstall it. But if there any way so I can get and make work simulators for xcode 6.1 without reinstall it? And What is the reason behind this simulator disappearance? I'm guessing PATH  issue. Am I right? Thank you for your time.

A: I would say Xcode is now corrupt after choosing to Keep Both, which merges the files in the two apps, as far as I'm aware.
You need to download both Xcode 6.1.1 and 6.3 from the Apple Developer Downloads site and install them using separate names:

*

*Delete the existing /Applications/Xcode.app.

*Drag Xcode 6.1.1 into /Applications and then rename it Xcode611.app.

*Drag Xcode 6.3 into /Applications and then rename it Xcode63.app.

*Add both to your Dock as desired.

Home Beer You Want to be American?
I remember a post back in 2012, over 6 years ago. Where's my pint?
Then, my beer was in Malt(a). Now, my beer is in Geno(a). Then, I had a Hopleaf, Malta's ale made with traditional English hops. This time, yes, I had a bottle of Bud looking out over the hills and down to the harbour. I felt kinda guilty but they had nothing on draught and served the beer in a wine glass. It just reminded me of the Italian-American movie greats like The Godfather I/II, Once Upon A Time in America, and especially The Talented Mr Ripley.


KWTX TV hit rock bottom yesterday in their news coverage. Five Mexican guys were staying in a motel in Waco. They may have been illegal aliens, but that was not reported. Can you imagine all those guys staying in the same room. It must have been pretty gross. Anyway, they were eating and one started passing gas. This apparently hacked one of the other guys off and he pulled a knife and assaulted the bloated gas passer. I can't say that I blame him. Shooing would have been more appropriate.
911 was called because of the stabbing and the bloated guy was taken to the hospital where his injuries were found to be non-life threatening. The poor guy who did the attacking was arrested and jailed.
KWTX must have been desperate to report a story like this. They probably have their news truck with an investigative journalist out looking for a belcher. The belcher and gas passer would make great cell-mates and it would be great to put them in the same cell with Bernie Madoff.
KWTX runs a segment in the evenings called Emily Wants to Know. She is always checking out unusual things. This would make a great follow-up story for Emily. Why do some people develop a lot of gas and why are some so gross they have to pass it while others are eating? She could also explore the techniques in passing gas and why some folks are silent while others sound like a jet breaking the sound barrier.
Maybe all this is great reporting to take our minds off the worlds problems. It sure beats hearing about the economy and Iraq. I have a colostomy, so no gas passing is allowed on the porch. The gas from an ostomy bag is a lethal weapon.


Ohio contains 28	schools that offer medical technologist programs. Ohio State University-Main Campus, the highest-ranking medical technologist school in OH,	has a total student population of 55,014 and is the 33rd	highest ranked school in America.
Of the 28 medical technologist schools in Ohio, only 11	have a student population over 10k. After taking into account tuition, living expenses, and financial aid, Xavier University comes out as the most expensive ($25,507/yr), with Jefferson Community College as the lowest recorded at only $2,111/yr.
Medical Technologist students from Ohio schools who go on to become medical technologists, medical informatics specialists, medical technicians, health information technologists, etc. have a good chance at finding employment. For example, there are 166,860 people working as medical and clinical laboratory technologists alone in the US, and their average annual salary is $55,620. Also, Medical and clinical laboratory technicians make on average $37,860	per year and there are about 152,420	of them employed in the US today. In fact, in the Ohio alone, there are 4,480 employed medical and clinical laboratory technicians earning an average yearly salary of $38,420. Medical and clinical laboratory technologists in this state earn $51,950/yr and there are 5,910 employed.
Also, within the medical technologist schools in Ohio, the average student population is 1,976	and average student-to-faculty ratio is 15 to 1. Aside from medical technologist, there are 8695 total degree (or certificate) programs in the state, with 1,681	people on average applying for a school. Undergraduate tuition costs are normally around $4,978, but can vary widely depending on the type of school.


Hundreds of students from across the UK submitted either their GCSE, A-Level or BTEC Design and Technology Course Work Projects to be judged by a panel of experts drawn from Industry. The TDI Challenge is split into three categories. There are two age groups; 14-16 and 17-19, with six finalists in each and a third category, a brand new addition to the competition for 2017, for group projects which saw two teams competing in the 17-19 age group.
The competition, which has been running for over a decade, is organised by the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) to inspire future engineers in to a career in manufacturing.
Second place in the 14-16 age group went to Simon Knowles of Sutton Grammar School for Boys with his Scalextric Lap Counter and Timer and third place went to Jacob Lawson of Caistor Grammar School with his Contemporary Shoe Storage and Display System.
The winners of each category were able to choose from a range of prizes on offer which included iPads, GoPro cameras, Minirig speakers and drones. As well as those exciting individual honours each winning project also received a £1000 voucher for the winning school in each category to spend on D&T equipment for the classroom.


"Swarm squadrons" of drones capable of "confusing the enemy and overwhelming their air defences" are set to be deployed by the UK's armed forces.
He told military leaders that Britain must be ready to use hard power and not walk on by when others are in need.
Mr Williamson said actions by China and Russia had blurred the boundaries between peace and war and that the UK may need to intervene to honour the global Britain mantra.
The price of non-intervention in global crises has often been unacceptably high. To talk, but fail to act, risks our nation being seen as little more than a paper tiger, he said.
The drone plan will be paid for through the transformation fund – a pot of cash to develop cutting-edge military technology.
Mr Willamson said the fund would develop swarm squadrons of network-enabled drones capable of confusing the enemy and overwhelming their air defences.
We expect to see these ready to be deployed by the end of the year, he said.
The deployment, likely to be in 2021, will include two squadrons of F35 stealth jets to stand up to those who flout international law.
Significantly, British and American F35s will be embedded in the carrier's air wing, enhancing the reach and lethality of our forces and reinforcing the fact that the US remains our very closest of partners. Mr Williamson said.
It is my belief that Britain has its greatest opportunity in 50 years to redefine its role, he said.
As we leave the European Union, and with the world changing so rapidly, it is up to us to seize the opportunity that Brexit brings.
We can build new alliances, rekindle old ones and most importantly make it clear that we are the country that will act when required and a nation that people can turn to when the world needs leadership.
NATO countries must step up and pay their 2% share of spending, he added, and European countries must not be distracted by the notion of an EU army.
The Alliance (NATO) also must develop its ability to handle the kind of provocations that Russia is throwing at us. Such action from Russia must come at a cost.
History has taught us that crisis comes when it is least expected. As uncertainty grows we must be ready to act and bring others with us.
And in a fast-changing world, Mr Williamson committed more money to the UK's cyber defences: As the cyber threat grows, we are making a very significant additional investment on the £1.9bn we spend on cyber capabilities.
That's funding to improve offensive cyber, putting the command and control structures in place across government. And it will give us extra money to protect our networks' resilience from online attacks.
He added: Our adversaries are increasingly using cyber attacks, subversion and information operations to challenge us and the rules-based international order.
I want to see our armed forces embracing transformation at an ever-faster rate, keeping pace with technological change, enhancing our mass and increasing our lethality. We shouldn't be shy about our ambition for our forces.
Against adversaries upping their spending and advancing technology, we have to respond. If we do not, we will find ourselves with fewer options when we face threats in the future.


Seven (7) Ghanaian journalists are currently on a field to Cote d'Ivoire from 12th – 15th of July, 2012 to interact with civil society organizations, oil companies, coastal communities and fellow journalists on the experiences of the oil and gas industry in that country.
This field trip to Cote d'Ivoire follows two other trips to the Niger Delta in Nigeria and Kribi in Cameroon. The field trip forms part of the "Strengthening Media Oversight of Extractive Industry Project" which the International Institute for ICT Journalism (Penplusbytes) is undertaking with collaboration from the Revenue Watch Institute (RWI).
The "Strengthening Media Oversight of the Extractive Sectors Pilot Programme" which started in 2011 aims at promoting good governance and an effective oversight of the oil, gas and mining (extractive) resources and revenues. The ultimate objective is to have a knowledgeable and active media which is critical to having an informed and engaged public, civil society and Parliament that can hold government to account. The course involves international field trips, writing bursaries, editors' liaison, workshops and individual writing projects on the extractive sector and has so far trained 100 journalists in two classes. The seven journalists on the trip form the third class.

Insight: This account of Abraham preparing to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice to God is a foreshadowing of what Jesus would come to do on our behalf. Just as God provided a ram so that Isaac did not have to die that day on the mountain, He would one day provide the perfect sacrifice in His Son Jesus so we don't have to die for our sins. I love that Abraham called that spot on the mountain "The Lord Will Provide" - all our deepest needs are provided for by the perfect sacrifice of Jesus.
Prayer: Father, thank You for Your perfect sacrifice on my behalf - that You took my place and stood in for me. Help me to remember that You are Jehovah Jireh, my Provider. Everything I need, You have and will provide for as I come to You. Amen.


This is the discussion related to the wiki page	SCP-625.
Credit to Kondraki for writing the original article, which I rewrote after it dropped to -11.
Minor spoilers? For a certain value of spoilers.
The "SCP-625 may not be exposed to other rodents under any circumstances." line is related to the first [DATA EXPUNGED].
The "Further, any specimen of SCP-625 that have consumed human flesh on more than one occasion must be terminated. The body may be disposed of in Site 19's incinerator." line is related to the second [DATA EXPUNGED].
They are Peter's fears and hallucinations made real. They operate on nightmare logic/biology, not real-life logic/biology. How exactly they became real and how things unfolded from there are up to you.
Thanks for not having a ridiculously cubic room (Really, 20 m high? You could fill an ocean liner with that many anklebiters).
That was the easy part. Still a bigass containment room, all things considered.
Jesus christ, take my upvote.
I sort of think eating ankles makes them smarter.
Could be. To be honest, I didn't feel the need to think it out in detail.
Very nice. Taxidoimied aminals come alive in Scotland?
I want to think of an objection to this but really there are no solid objections.
As a Scot, I feel I should let you all know.
Subdued by bright light, have weird reproduction, and bad things happen if they eat in the right circumstances?
To be honest, this doesn't really do it for me. I wasn't a fan of the original article, and this is basically a cleaner version of it with some hints of interesting bits added. Unfortunately, at least for me, the hints aren't really enough.
That said, I like the origin story part, and I also like that Dr. MacGregor has clearance (4-625/1515/3123). When we finally reach the 3000s, I wonder if people will observe that pattern?
When we finally reach the 3000s, I wonder if people will observe that pattern?
It's good and everything, but I don't see the spark in this one. No vote.
Never saw the original, and I honestly don't get this. What does "distinct sections" mean? They're pieces of rat fused together somehow? So doesn't that just make them OTT rats?
They're pieces of rat fused together somehow?
Not just rats — various rodents — but yes. Think Frankenstein's monster but alive and without stitches.
So doesn't that just make them OTT rats?
You tell me. Do you feel like being made of rodents automatically makes something OTT rats? Or were you trying to say that their other properties gave that impression? Because the conclusion does not follow from the premise.
Now I'm starting to gather that maybe they're multiple pieces of multiple species of rat fused into one creature that is not necessarily rat-shaped. Yes, no? In which case, well, that's a good bit more disturbing, I'd say! It's hard to tell though, because the first sentence suggests that, collectively, instances of SCP-625 are comprised of distinct sections from upwards of seven species, but not how many sections per instance, and this is why I'm confused as to what precisely they are.
Now I'm starting to gather that maybe they're multiple pieces of multiple species of rat fused into one creature that is not necessarily rat-shaped. Yes, no?
You are aware that rats are not the only rodents, right? But you are right in that they are not necessarily rat-shaped.
Oh. Well even in my current drunken stupor, I can see I misinterpreted something.
I think what this needs is just a word or two about irregular forms or asymmetrical construction. That would fix everything.
I have made the change you suggested :) check the first paragraph.
I really wanted to upvote this from the start, because preying specifically on ankles is just great.
Awesome. And yeah, that's what drew me to it in the first place too. I take a guilty pleasure in seeing old articles with great ideas but serious execution flaws, 'cause I know there's always the chance to rewrite 'em later.

Social media has gone from a fad that was only used by the kids and college students to a platform where people all over the world of every age use on a day-to-day basis. Why miss out on one of the biggest and (usually) free ways of reaching millions of people about your business? Still not convinced that social media is crucial for businesses? The White Water Agency girls have 10 reasons to tell you otherwise.
Social Media is no longer optional for businesses.
There are hundreds of millions of Tweets, billions of "Likes" on Facebook, and over 90 million photos and videos uploaded to Instagram every day. This type of user interaction allows you to see who your customer is and what they like, who they are, and how they feel about your brand and product.
These constant updates allow your business to stay relevant amongst the hottest online trends and lets you have a constant update of status and reports.
Being online allows customers to find you and connect with you. Think about your favorite brand/company/musician/etc, if you've connected with them on social media, you're constantly being updated about what they're doing and the latest news. Engaging with these customers regularly can really make a difference when it comes to customer retention and brand loyalty. Check out the stats here.
Facebooks ads are one of the best ways to reach your target audience. You can promote the location of your business, gain awareness of it, or even just find users based on location, demographics, hobbies, and connections. This has taken the old-school print media and expensive TV advertising and allowed you the opportunity to target exactly who you want and to have a constant update of its results. Ads are cost per click, so what you're willing to put in is what you'll get back in return.
Your customers expect you to be on social media and when they have a problem, they're more likely to jump onto Twitter or Facebook with their questions or concerns than they are your website/calling your customer service line. Social media allows you to address your consumers concerns with the click of a few buttons or to move to the next step by directing them where an answer can be found.
Social media accounts also allow you to interact with your customers when they have good things to say. You'll see their testimonials and content they share about your brand or product the second they post it. Now THAT is what we call rich and quick customer service.
Facebook, Google+, and Twitter all help play a major role in terms of your search engine optimization in terms of key words. The better your SEO is, the better chance you'll come up first when people are Googling brands that are similar to yours. This lets you choose exactly how you want to be found on Google and shape your social media content to reflect it.

Knowing what your competition is doing will help you craft a marketing strategy to put your business above theirs. Marketing strategies can constantly be revised and re-crafted and what better way to increase your brand engagement than by making sure that your marketing efforts are the most creative and beneficial for the consumer.
Geo-targeting is a great way to send your message out to a specific audience based on location. Social Media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have ways that allow you to reach a very specific city, state, or country based on your target and content.
Social media is great for getting your content out but simply pushing sales is not the main goal of social media for businesses. Having a social media brand account that interacts and is engaging with the consumer is the key to success. This kind of social media dialogue between brands and customers is something traditional advertising cannot achieve.

Tucker Carlson Takes Sen. Mike Braun Apart in Fiery, Must See Clash
By Bonchie | 9:40 AM on June 30, 2020
I was almost feeling sorry for Sen. Mike Braun after this.
Tucker Carlson invited the Republican onto his show last night in what can only be described as a fiery, tension-filled interview. Before even bringing Braun on, Carlson spent several minutes putting up his old statements and essentially setting the scene. It was absolutely brutal, and as you'll see, obviously goes much further ideologically than just discussions of qualified immunity.
Here's the interview.
The Washington Examiner provides some excerpts via their coverage of the dust-up.
Carlson asked the Indiana Republican about his recent announcement of support for Black Lives Matter on Monday. The Fox News host noted that the movement has called for several controversial policies, including the defunding of police departments. Braun clarified his remarks and told Carlson that he supports the rights of the movement to protest peacefully.
"I support anybody that does have a grievance to be able to air it, and that is it. That doesn't mean all lives don't matter, it just means that if you think a certain sector of society has a grievance, it ought to be through transparency and the willingness to debate it and get it out there," he said.
That's not necessarily a bad answer. I think explicitly announcing support for Black Lives Matter, a self-proclaimed "Marxist" organization does carry connotations though. Even if you agree with the segmented off message regarding police brutality, it's really hard to not end up associated with their other positions, from being "anti-capitalist," to "de-funding" police, to their numerous ties to antisemitism. That's why I personally keep my distance even though I agree in a vacuum that George Floyd's killing was wrong. Braun has apparently pulled a Mitt Romney, though, and announced his support without providing the needed caveats.
But where things really got heated was when Carlson noted that Braun has expressed support for suing the officers involved in the Rayshard Brooks shooting, in which Brooks assaulted two officers, stole their taser, shot the taser at them, and then ended up shot when he attempted to fire it a second time.
"I want you to explain. I think it's fair. You're an office-holder. I don't normally press people like this, but it's not fair for you to filibuster without answering my question, which is very simple: The officer facing the death penalty had a guy fire a weapon at him. What should he have done then?" he asked.
"Probably not have killed the guy," Braun said, later adding, "do you think he was going to get away? They were going to find him."
For clarity, a taser is considered a deadly weapon in Georgia, and Brooks reached back to fire again. That's when he was shot.
Other discussions centered on qualified immunity, where there are good cases to be made for reform. Unfortunately, like many politicians, Braun was unable to make any of them. His reasoning, in an obvious attempt to placate Carlson's large audience, was that Democrats would "make hay" out of the issue in 2020 if it wasn't reformed. That's a really, really bad reason to change a law. Either have a buttoned-up answer for why you support something or you shouldn't support it.
Braun told Carlson that he felt Republicans need to go after qualified immunity because Democrats were going to "make hay of this" in the 2020 elections. Carlson asked Braun why he cared what Democrats were doing.
"Who controls the Senate? Does Chuck Schumer control it? I thought Republicans controlled the Senate. And so you're taking your cues from Chuck Schumer? You're saying Chuck Schumer might criticize me; therefore, I have to pass a law that makes it easier to sue police?" he asked.
The issue of qualified immunity is being very misunderstood by most people discussing the matter. Many assume it protects police from criminal charges. It doesn't. If an officer breaks the law, there is no immunity that protects them, and they can be arrested like anyone else. Qualified immunity only applies to civil court actions. While that sounds good on the surface, it could also lead to thousands of frivolous lawsuits that force a mass exodus from law enforcement. That would easily put us back in the 1970s regarding crime rates, which would cost tens of thousands of lives via murder over time, never mind all the other violent and "broken windows" crimes that come with that.
You don't even have to look far for proof of how a reduction in law enforcement would go. Go check out the skyrocketing murder rates in places like New York, Chicago, and Minneapolis. While there are some parts of qualified immunity on the margins that could be changed, having officers be sued for things that will inevitably happen in the line of duty (mistakenly pulling someone over and detaining them, for example) would crush the profession and leave Americans unsafe. I don't think that's what the country really wants, even if they think they want it. The most abused rule in politics is not taking into account unintended consequences.
This segment with @SenatorBraun provides a tutorial in how the GOP can lose the Senate. GOP senators desperately need to spend some time with American voters. https://t.co/mdeberm9tm
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) June 30, 2020
In the end, Braun simply wasn't prepared here and it shows how unimpressive many Republican politicians are. Carlson's critique that he should worry less about appeasing Democrats is also a good one. If Braun wants to change qualified immunity, then he should make a case that stands on its own two legs. Not one that revolves around keeping Chuck Schumer from getting upset.
Republicans are playing with fire right now. The party is already disappointed in the last six years of lack of action from the GOP-controlled Senate. If the base of voters feels further abandoned, you may get a backlash that costs them the chamber come November.

KidZania has plenty of resources that can help teachers enhance the learning process, develop new educational approaches and greatly increase children's interest in gaining new knowledge. We recommend teachers to take a free refresher course at MGPU (Moscow City Teacher Training University). We also provide all necessary educational resources that help children solidify the knowledge they gain in KidZania.
In cooperation with Moscow City Teacher Training University, we created a refresher course for the teachers who would like to use KidZania's resources in their work: "Employing the educational potential of museums, libraries and other cultural institutions in the teaching and learning process of educational organizations in Moscow". The course is offered free of charge. To participate, please fill in the form.
When visiting KidZania children develop cross-curricular skills, highly valued by the new generation of educational standards. Moscow Department of Education recommends to visit KidZania during the curriculum hours intended for development of these skills.
We should not regard KidZania as competitors, as we can lose this competition. What we should do is integrate. Not every school has the resources, but Moscow does. Our aim is to implement the city educational resources into the school curriculum.
In KidZania children make their own decisions. It is a vital part of our educational approach. Making decisions is a necessary skill that is hard to develop at school.
Children should be allowed to make their own choices, even if their behavior seems illogical and ineffective. For instance, a child might spend a lot of time buying sweets or visit the same activity twice. However, next time they come up with a list of the activities they did not visit and manage to participate in 7–8 activities. If a teacher or a parent intervenes and decides where a child should go, their behavioral strategy does not change. To develop the ability to plan and set goals, children should be free to make their own choices.
We recommend to organize a classroom activity after the first visit to KidZania. Our supervisors have developed a special program that helps children solidify new knowledge and skills. You can download it here: "Getting to know KidZania" lesson.
KidZania experience has proven that any subject, shall it be Mathematics, History or Biology, is much better learnt through roleplay. Our supervisors have come up with a couple of programs, using which children can get advanced knowledge in school subjects. A teacher can choose a program and take children to the activities it involves. After visiting the park we recommend to arrange a brush-up lesson in the classroom, using a guidance manual.
While playing Microbe Hunting children learn that living things consist of organic compounds. They visit the yogurt factory to learn how bacterial fermentation makes milk sour.
Children try the role of a dentist. They fill a patient's dental cavity and learn about the role of oral bacteria.
Children conduct a microbiological research at the laboratory. They perform a bacterial contamination and define the types of bacteria in four grown colonies.
At the museum children can take a look at the artifacts from different historical periods, see archaeological finds from Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome, and find out how visiting museums helps us learn history. Children also can try the role of a conservator-restorer.
Before taking up the role of firefighters, children will receive detailed instructions, learn about the history of the profession, the invention of special signs, the nature and mechanism of burning.
When a fire alert goes off, children have to be quick — grab a helmet, jump into the fire engine, and rush to the emergency site. Once there, the firefighting crew evacuates people, rolls out fire hoses, and extinguishes the fire.
10 or more children aged 4-14 accompanied by attendants are considered a group.
Group visits cost 30% less than usual ones. Child tickets cost 800 ₽ on weekdays and 1500 ₽ on weekends.
1 free attendant ticket is provided for a group of 10, 2 tickets for a group of 11—20, and 3 tickets for a group of 21—30 children.
Additional tickets for attendants cost 600 rubles on weekdays and 750 rubles on weekends.


When you've got a prom dress lined up, you're going to feel pretty good about it. You're all set for what will be a great night, and there's no need to worry about anything. However, when it comes to choosing your dress, there are some things which you need to consider. We're going to be taking a look at a couple of them here and now.
A perfect prom dress is an incredible sight to behold, and we don't deny that. However, it's often not as simple as some people would like to think. When you see that perfect dress, we will caution against immediately going out and getting it. What you have to remember is that you may well have to move around, sit, stand and dance in the dress, so it needs to be suitable for you to be active in.
When it comes to a prom dress, there's usually one argument which people do hear time after time. It's about spending large amounts of money on a prom dress, or whether it is worth trying to budget. You should set a budget with parents and relatives before you pick a dress, so you don't get your hopes up about one particular dress and then find yourself disappointed when it's outside of the price range you're allowed.
When it comes to finding your perfect prom dress, it is important to know that you can use the internet to find the dress at the best possible price. Sure, you've found the dress in a store, but the price tags are often ridiculous. This is where the web can come in handy. Look around for the dress, see if you can find some shops online which do dresses at a discount price. You can normally find any dress for a less extortionate cost, so be sure to hunt around. When you have completed your research online, make a trip and have a look at all the prom dresses London shops.
A lot of people choose to go to the prom in a group. There's nothing wrong with this of course, as it means that you spend the night with your friends. However, there's nothing quite like showing up to go down together and finding two people have the same dress. You need to make sure that you work closely with your friends so that no one's the same and there's no fighting.
Overall, these are just a few things for you to consider when it comes to choosing your prom dress. We know that your prom dress is going to be a source of stress if you're keen to get right, and so we advise that regardless of what you do, you just try and take a deep breath about it. By following these tips, you should have an easier time of trying to choose a prom dress and will find that you're well on your way to finding a dress without any worry or concerns about the future.
We've all seen the lie detector test in one medium or another. If you've watched a cop show, then you may well have noticed people hooked up to a machine and asked a series of questions to prove or disprove guilt. However, people can look at these things on the television for years and then not understand how the lie detector tests work. We're going to be taking a look at how the actual technology does its job, to bring you up to speed on the science behind lying.
So, a machine can tell if I'm lying?
While the idea may seem far fetched, it has been in use for some years now as a way to prove if someone is telling the truth or not. What people may not be aware of is that there is a particular set of processes and biological changes which occur when you tell a lie, and you know that you're lying. Usually, the heart beats faster, you sweat more, and your breathing accelerates. These changes, while subtle, are easy to detect with sophisticated machinery. And this machinery is actually how people can identify if you're telling a lie or not.
What a lie detector does is registers these subtle chances in those biological processes to determine if someone is in fact lying. When you are first hooked up to it, the machine records all of your baseline vitals. These are the things like your resting heart rate, your respiration levels, and your perspiration levels. What examiners will typically do is ask one or two control questions, which may well be things like 'have you ever told a lie?', or 'have you ever broken the law?'. Most people will answer no to both of those questions to seem like honest people, but in truth, we've all lied to someone or crossed the road when we shouldn't have done. This will then generate an increase in all of those biological processes, and this forms the basis for identifying when you're lying because whenever you do those same process will rise again.
The lie detector will only register the lies you tell as being actual lies if they generate more of a change than the control lie which was given at the very beginning. Therefore, if you tell a dangerous lie, then the detector will be able to identify if you're trying to hide something.
Overall, lie detector tests are built to catch people out, and they work through the identification of changes in things like your perspiration and heart rate. The lie detector test is used in many different scenarios, but they all work in the same way, by measuring changes in those conditions and using them to determine if someone is lying or if they're not. Lie detector tests are necessary for getting the truth from a situation, but they should also be used with caution, as the innate sense of anxiety that most people feel can work against them.


So, here we are. I'm about to head the 10th annual Wine Blogger Conference. We are back in Sonoma County, where it all started. I find it a little hard to believe that we are still here 10 conferences later. Certainly, a lot has changed: wine blogs have come and gone, technology has evolved, content creating comes in many additional forms. Some things haven't changed at all. I still have the same glasses. (You decide whether it's because I'm frugal, lazy, or other.) I'm headed back to Sonoma to meet up with many people I've only known via the internet. I'm crashing at the house of a blogger I met over 10 years ago, just like in 2008 when I darkened El Jefe's doorstep.
When I first started blogging back in the dark ages of 2006, there were so few wine bloggers that it felt like everyone knew everyone. Like high school. And the idea for a large meet-up started percolating, spurred and curated by the ever-present Joel Vincent. I doubt even he would think his creation would be around 10 conferences later. Attending that first conference felt like meeting people I'd known forever. I knew then that I'd found my tribe. Wine people. This will mark my 7th conference attended (the birth of two children (other major difference in my life!) prevented my attendance at the three conferences I missed!).
The first conference, held at the iconic Flamingo, helped coalesce a nascent community. From it was born the idea for the Wine Blogger Conference Scholarship to help an unemployed blogger friend attend the conference, which has grown to sponsor up to a dozen bloggers a year to attend. The conference has doubled in size, but the community it helps create has not changed at all. Immersing yourself in a wine region with 300 of your closest friends certainly lends itself to bonding experiences, renewed enthusiasm for your craft, and hopefully learning something new about wine or wine writing. If you've been on the fence about attending, take a chance and join us. We don't bite. Much.

I just met with Yuval Koren, CEO of Eye-Fi, a start-up that has created a SD card that can automatically upload images from your camera directly to the internet using a normal Wi-Fi network. Everything is self-contained on the card (SD right now, but they are working on Compact Flash version as well), including the wireless antenna. The idea is that the photos will be uploaded to a central server that then hooks into your favorite photo service, like Flickr, etc. Yuval showed me a realtime demo while we were meeting at Farley's and it was quite impressive. Here are a few photos.
Robert Scoble met with Yuval earlier week. Here's his initial write-up as well as a follow-up, where he goes into greater detail.
UPDATE: Eye-Fi has released their new wireless SD memory card.

Not too long ago, Sonic Lost World fans were surprised when Iwata announced a unique set of free Sonic and Nintendo crossover downloadable content packs planned for the Wii U version of the game. As previously noted, the first round of DLC was in celebration of Yoshi's Island. It featured Sonic running around in a setting you'd probably find in Yoshi's Story or Yoshi's New Island. In that same Nintendo Direct, Iwata teased the next round of DLC and something about a "link."
I never could have imagined something like this, though. The footage you're seeing, courtesy of IGN, is from the Legend of Zelda Zone—the second planned Nintendo crossover downloadable content pack. It's coming our way tomorrow (so I guess you just got a peek at the headliner of the Nintendo Download this week). As you can see, it's kind of an adventure-style zone in comparison to other levels; it definitely seems far away from conventional Sonic Lost World gameplay. It's got all kinds of Zelda allusions packed in, including familiar characters and even the replacement of Sonic's rings with hearts (like in Zelda).
I don't think there's anything else worth elaborating on, since I don't want to spoil things for those eager to experience this content for themselves. Still, I'll remind you that this is free content for Sonic Lost World that will be available to you as soon as you download it, and it probably goes along with the last one's premise of needing 10,000 points added to your score in order to unlock it again for repeat play-throughs.
Stay tuned for more information, screenshots and features straight from Nintendo when they release tomorrow's full Download press release! Anyone excited? I know I am. Check out my review of the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World if you haven't seen it yet!

While the space station supports the missions of a bizarre and diverse array of aliens, the Smoothie Shack is the hub of social interaction for the galaxy. There is always something happening at Astroblast. And everyone on the crew has plenty to learn to keep the community happy and on an even keel.
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Ruff Ruff, Tweet, and Dave is a preschool adventure/activity show where the lead characters travel to faraway lands to have adventures with their guide, a hamster named Hatty. Ruff Ruff, the dog, is the most playful of the three; Tweet is a little bird who loves to fly and get creative with her suggestions; and Dave the Panda has a thing for bananas. RRTD might go to the beach, or the mountains, or to strange lands with pillows everywhere, just the sort of place where imagination and logic come together. The settings are always brightly colored and beautiful. And their transport vehicles are Roly-pods, artful go-carts that fit on a spiral ramp that folds in and out of the Spin-Again, a colorful round spinning top with special compartments designed to anchor each vehicle right on the outside rim during the journey.

Program Title Whaddyado
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. WHADDYADO, a half-hour weekly series designed to educate, inform, inspire and entertain, does an exceptional job educating teenagers. The shows target audience is between 13 and 16 years of age, the time period when children are making the transition to becoming adults. Both theory and research demonstrate that this is the stage of life where children begin to experiment with who they are and who they want to be. It is a time which is typified by feeling invincible. This sense of invulnerability is commonly coupled with withdrawal from parents and authority figures which leaves teenagers susceptible to poor decision making. Therefore, this time where insight and judgment are developing, but adult influence is limited, educational programming can make an immense impact on a childs decisions. WHADDYADO provides an excellent opportunity for teenagers to learn life lessons they likely are otherwise not open to receiving. What makes WHADDYADO such a valuable resource for teenagers is that it exposes them to real life situations. The reenactments give the audience the opportunity to develop important life saving skills. By exposing the audience to perilous situations that have actually occurred, then, using interviews with the participants, and instructions from experts, teenagers are shown what the proper reaction should be when faced with similar life threatening circumstances this show is perfectly positioned to educate its audience. Because research demonstrates that teenagers learn best from children their own age, this show is uniquely designed to get its lessons through to teenagers. It is likely that in addition to learning the life saving lessons contained in each episode, the show will also work to minimize a viewer's belief in their immortality, a priceless lesson for all teenagers.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Awesome Adventures is an educational and informational adventure travel program that targets the 13 to 16 year old age group, but is also a highly entertaining program for a more general audience. With a host and the use of young guides from a specific locale, it is ideal for the "tween/teen" market. This program is fast paced, and provides information which encompasses many aspects of the location. It is produced in a contemporary style, and features both historical and cultural information, in addition to an action adventure. The introduction about the specific food, music, geography, history and environmental issues as well as popular recreational activities of the locale, make for a most entertaining program. The host Mystro, probably in his mid twenties, is engaging, and his delivery is both gritty and welcoming for an audience used to YouTube videos. Coupled with a very conversational style is the MTV shooting technique. The program's opening is visually engaging, featuring scenes of upcoming adventures in the form of a teaser for the audience. In the program about Puerto Rico, the teen team provides some humor while also detailing history. The visualization is excellent-camera angles and action shots make the viewer feel a part of the experience. The use of subjective camera angles further contributes to the "feeling of being there." The natural sounds on location further emphasize the on-site experience for the viewer. The historical content grounds the program, framing location and history of the region for the viewer. The music selection adds to the overall experience. Along with some creative camera angles, the editing is representative of an exceptional craft. The viewer becomes immersed into the history and flavor of the location in a short period of time, which is an important part of the learning experience. The show always combines fun with facts. For instance, explaining the science behind the rainforest, and then introducing a segment connected to this with body sliding and rock climbing, entertains viewers while educating them about a new culture and community.

Floogals is an animated show starring three space aliens--Fleeker, Flo, and Boomer-- who have been sent to earth to explore, investigate, discover and report their findings to their superiors at Floogal headquarters. The diminutive Floogals are no taller than a large safety pin and their visual perspective is literally the point of view of the show. With the multiple challenges of their size and ignorance of all things Hooman [that's Floogal-speak for human], the Floogals have a lot of work on their hands. They are engaged in the dual processes of discovery and problem solving as nothing on earth is familiar to them. Much like young children, they begin by encountering something new and then go through a comedic multi-step process of watching, listening, touching, and note-taking until they've figured out what and how their new discovery fits into the Hooman universe.

WHADDYADO's moral dilemma segment is an invaluable addition to the series. In these segments, teenagers are given a scenario which raises moral questions. They are then provided with an expert's analysis of the costs and benefits of various courses of action. This portion of the show touches on sensitive areas that I have yet to find in other television shows being dealt with in such an up front, open nature. By tackling these challenging issues head on, WHAADYADO works to help develop the moral fiber of our nation's teenagers. These segments are a welcome educational opportunity for teenagers who are working to define themselves.

The shops one employee, Kelly, doubles as Chicas nanny and the ensemble is rounded out with Bunji, a large floppy eared rabbit, and Stitches, a straw mannequin that sits in the window. In each episode Chica develops or encounters a problem that she cannot immediately resolve. Usually her issues involve impulse control, distractibility, judgment, and inter-personal behaviors. She and Kelly usually work on the problem through an adventure a fantasy transformation to animation where Bunji and Stitches come alive and join Chica and Kelly for the problem solving process. The core educational content is primarily socio-emotional development as Chica learns how to express herself properly, think before she acts, and interact with others effectively. She often learns that it takes hard work and practice to become proficient at different skills.

Enduring power is the resolve of its gifted length.
That society receives shelter in a careful position.
The society receives shelter in a careful position.
For revenge-in-the-wind will carry the voice to all.
Vocal critics are aptly contained beyond the door.
The world turns–on an axis of economic health.
But, riches will charm…through a human throng.
For proper judgement smiles…to favor necessities.
Critics have no case-in-point, nor wealth to burn.
It is the blessing of heaven–in the form of a dove.
For a world of goodness invites a temporal packer.
But, the greater fool lacks the substance of a ring.
While a state-of-money sings a beautiful love song.
Administer laws to subdue man's sacred happiness.
Grants a blessed paradox–hearld a National alarm.
Derived of systems on a chaotic border.
And bewildered thru a chaos of delusion.
To control men by a tyrannical kingdom.
Establishes a system where all can learn.
Dreams pass the time–from head to feet.
They sleep against the border of smarter.
Declaring to each other–a state of cheer.
Chaos dominates everyone's blank stare.
And alter chaos–for what society deems?
To control free chaos in the present tense.
For a limited power–with a dream to feed.
Dispell chaos, with commandments to keep.
Wake-up to sleep, and order your dream.
Everybody has two-bits to share.
Like interference possess the air.
They would stick their nose full-of-it.
Wrong is right, when they're full-of-it.
They've already said it–their own way.
'Cause your naive opinion does not fit.
Requires some opinion-proof road map.
Aiming to put you in line with their fist.
If noses got together to smell the crap.
Is fit your niche into the rejection trap.
Keep steady…when they throw a curve.
For jerks have a right to demand a quirk.
Since time travels in this bodily dominion.
So tread extremely lightly–opinions say.
Dementing with minds–to suggest, educational correction.
Sustain revenge that vindicate–legal binding is kinda mild.
Private liberty has diminished in a world overrun with fools.
Because compliance is inflicted by the law of a lesser worth.
Freedom aligns with a vile file…to progress at a rapid pace.
Faithful correction measures money, but, not what it seems.
Realizing the final trap still overlooks what awareness deems.
Americans are compelled…to run the race of a slippery debt.
Alterations–in the system, threaten with a financial need.
Achieving a plan, that sacred government…is a judicial liar.
Lobbying Washington–insures, the courts rule a capital map.
Public opinion no longer matters; rob the fools on the passes.
Higher education imposes pressure…on the facts of learning.
The known world…now uproots–to tear sacred values apart.
What can be written with a forked tongue in mind?
An uncivilized redman, said it best, of the legal kind.
'Cause the mind connects directly with the tongue.
The redman spied a tricky promise arrayed in white.
That disguises legal suicide to get a sly commitment.
They say, governments are beneficial for protection.
So, why legalize killing-generations…by an election?
Now, laws abort geniuses…without a speck of worth.
Living by the constitution that protect human worth.
The fetuses go on record–to see both day and night.
Place the idiot in a warehouse, to rehabilitate awhile.
Deprave his love and diminish honor with our society.
Some would labor, but they may starve like a tramp.
And then, raise taxes to feed America's legal bumbs.
Crime offends, and shame against mankind…is rude.
Judicial dominance denies access to love a social loss.
Then, enforce payment of insurance for his measure.
Without self-reliance, he must surrender to the day.
By decree of national rights, he defends human lives.
Without defense, a courtroom rips him head-to-feet.
So, size-up 460,000 smoke inflicted bodies with pitty.
Terrorist die laughing…at a prevalent tobacco right.
Beautiful America feeds the world with a heavy load.
Smarter…is not always intelligent enough to bother.
Problems arise, as cunning tyrants achieve the hour.
Be alert to free corruption–designed by clever men.
Best-of-times are ahead, with a constitution we had.
Employ both forks, for freedom is not–without harm.
A struggling world is coming here–to labor and toil.
A free banner-of-choice, is an honored national fork.
Distortion creates a bitter sweet edge–with honey.
Where power changes the value of our search map.
Watching glib nestlers offer hell on another trail.
Scratching pennies for dollars…that steal eternity.
Set the trap, while the prey is praying for change!
But pride trips the trap, imposing poor–with pain.
Commencing to enforce the victim with blood red.
Confounding the bird…flying high–in the distance.
It is not allowed–a sparrow cannot value an eagle.
Change!…is a timid condition, the mighty…confer.
'Cause clever appears–hollering for a production.
Trapped eagles have no power…greater than words.
Overbear, subdue terms equal to a stymie condition.
But, a project perception uses the word…all wrong.
Wisely tripping a trip light…to spring the bird trap.
