If I wasn't educated, I will not be standing in front of you – President Buhari says as he appeals to Kankara schoolboys to return to school
Author Beta lensPosted on December 21, 2020
The President said this on Friday December 18, when he met with the 344 students at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Katsina State.
Buhari who disclosed that he became President of Nigeria by going to school, told the students to remain focused in pursuing their interest in acquiring a good education, despite the misfortune of kidnapping.
"If I wasn't educated, I will not be standing here today in front of you. I schooled in Katsina for nine years. I moved on to join the army, served as a governor, Head of State, went to prison, came out, and later joined politics.
"I contested presidential elections three times, and finally I was declared a winner in 2015.
"My dear children, don't be discouraged with what has happened; give your attention to acquiring knowledge and developing good character, and you will be distinguished in life. I know that you have been through a lot.
"The suffering you went through, please put it aside and try to forget the painful experience. There is no substitute for a good education, so you must return to school and continue."
Buhari also described the unfortunate incident as a test of character and determination to succeed in life, and added that the Federal Government would upgrade the security structure in the country to ensure that everyone is safe.

Nalla Kim with Karen Turman at ILHC 2012
This month I'm joined by Nalla Kim - Nalla has traveled the world as a dancer, instructor, and competitor, and is a mainstay in the booming swing dance scene of Seoul, South Korea. He runs the swing teams Sweet Heart & Lindy Blossom and brings international instructors and musicians to the thousands of Lindy Hoppers in Seoul though events like Authentic Jazz Weekend, Lindy Blossom Weekend and SEOUL Lindyfest. Nalla made his first appearance at ILHC in 2011 with team Sweet Heart and now he's become one of the regular ILHC judges. He's known around the world for his enthusiasm and passion for Lindy Hop.
Nalla sat down with me at ILHC 2016 to share how he discovered Lindy Hop, describe the incredible Seoul dance scene, and educate me on some of the history of Lindy Hop in South Korea.
We also discussed his early dance inspirations and his difficulties moving past copying other dancers to develop his own style, his wife Jessica's professional yodeling, the cultural differences between dancers of South Korea and the United States, and how the global scene may improve discourse when it comes to sensitive or controversial topics.
Nalla asked that I remind listeners that English is not his first language, which I am, of course, happy to do.

Mike Thibault performs in the Stompology Show 2015
This month, I am joined by my long-time friend, Mike Thibault. Mike is a driving force in the swing dance scene of Rochester, NY, where he is a founding member of the teaching group Groove Juice Swing and helps organize events like Stompology & Slow Dance Soirée. Mike has been running Swing Out New Hampshire since 2014, and is also a sought-after DJ, serving as Head DJ for Frankie 100 and spinning at events such as ILHC, Lindy Focus, and numerous lindy exchanges.
We sat down after Stompology 2016 to reminisce about our time as students at Rochester Institute of Technology, where we discovered swing music and learned dance steps from VHS copies of Swing Kids. Mike clarifies my memories of our early dance adventures, offers some advice for new DJs, and talks about how his passion for history has led him to collaborate with Andrew Nemr and the Tap Legacy Foundation on an archive of American vernacular jazz dance.
We also discuss taking over Swing Out New Hampshire, what is required to foster a welcoming swing dance community, his joy in hosting late night after-parties at the mythical Lindy Compound, and realizing that his contributions to the Lindy Hop community, and not his day job, are his true life's work.

Michael Gamble at Lindy Focus XIV
This month, I am joined by DJ, Lindy Focus co-organizer, and Rhythm Serenaders bandleader, Michael Gamble. Michael has been swing dancing for more than 15 years and in that time his projects have become some of the most esteemed in the swing dance community.
Michael has been head DJ for Beantown, Lindy Focus and the European Swing Dance Championships, and a featured DJ at Herrang Dance Camp, ILHC, and the Lone Star Championships, among others. His band, the Rhythm Serenaders, has performed at events including DCLX, Lindy on the Rocks, and the Nevermore Jazz Ball, and have just announced their first album, which comes out later this summer. Lindy Focus has become one of the largest and most popular swing dance events in the country, drawing more than one thousand attendees each year to his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina.
We sat down at LindyFest 2016 to talk about how his start in the world of electronic music, a bachelor's degree in music and a father in the music industry all shaped his direction as a performer of authentic swing dance and music. We dive deep into what it takes to run one of the nation's premiere swing events, how DJs carry the responsibility for furthering jazz literacy in an era focused on live music, and the the challenges of transcribing a classic swing song.

Naked Capitalism ran a four-half sequence known as Can Uber Deliver? throughout which it used data on the trade's aggressive economics, to cope with the query of whether or not Uber's aggressive efforts to fully dominate the city automotive service industry has (or will) improve whole financial welfare. It's a long learn, but in case you're in any respect fascinated within the gig financial system or the trip-hailing business significantly, it's price spending a while on this sequence. On this era of digital media, the place virtually all the things is searchable and downloadable, it's easy to see why college students, and even lecturers, assume that it is completely tremendous to reuse one different's creator's work. Nevertheless, this isn't always true.
In a long ago era, I drove my tiny Honda CRX throughout the United States 5 times before, followed I think, by almost a 12 months when I didn't go away King County, WA; so tired was I of lengthy distance driving. From that time I keep in mind that day 1 of an extended trip seemed to creep by minute by minute by minute to the point where two hours in it appears that evidently the journey shall be an eternity. As a result of I used to be prepared for that, this really turned out to be a reasonably simple day.

The Ensemble-diagram shows the temperature trend for the next two weeks. The black line indicates the most likely temperature sequence, whereas the blue and red lines represent the coldest and the warmest trend, respectively. The general rule is that the wider the distribution of the diagram (grey area), the lower the reliability of the forecast. Due to the fact that the model output temperatures used in this diagram do not exactly represent geographic location and height, temperature differences in comparison to the detailed forecast may occur. Thus, the 15-day outlook allows only a qualitative estimate of temperature development and forecast uncertainty.

The perioperative care of the bariatric surgical patient is provided by the multidisciplinary bariatric team with patient safety being paramount. Patients should be adequately assessed and risk factors identified and managed prior to surgery to optimize patient outcomes. Such care can be divided into preoperative, perioperative and immediate postoperative care, up until the patient is discharged from the bariatric unit. Apart from addressing the medical and psychological issues of the patients,' the in-hospital experience of the patients should also be taken care of. Units should have adequate equipment and fully trained staff to look after the morbidly obese, with enough space to care for and ensure patient dignity and respect. Good communication between the surgical, medical, allied health professional and primary care is essential at this time of the patients' pathway to promote the high standard of care that bariatric surgery patients need. This chapter deals with these issues and is illustrated with the practical aspects of care that is offered at the author's place of work.

A film homage to a brain-damaged friend
Life 20 June 2014
By Helen Thomson
Drako Zarharzar among his memories
Toby Amies has made a documentary about a friend with no short-term memory. The Man Whose Mind Exploded shakes up our ideas of "normal"
"Can you tell me what's going on with your cock?"
"It's tattooed. The knob is tattooed like a rose, and the stem of the rose goes up the shaft and the pubic hair is a nest of thorns. The world is my stage so appearance is very important. Love. Love it all. I've got it tattooed on my arm – trust, absolute, unconditional. Three words that came to me in my last coma."
Meet Drako Oho Zarharzar. Sitting on Brighton beach with his blue eyebrows, tattooed face and painted moustache, he's quite distinctive. His face, and the fact that he's completely naked.
Personality personified, 76-year-old Drako's outward appearance isn't the only unusual thing about him. There's his cape and his staff, his exotic past as a dancer, a biker, a model for Salvador Dali, and then there's his home – a massive collage of junk that is part art, part fire hazard. Pictures, notes, scraps of paper, postcards, material, old clothes, candles, letters, more notes, cardboard, magazine clippings, hanging beads, yet more notes.
"Trust, absolute, unconditional," he repeats. "Did I tell you? I've got it tattooed on my arm. It came to me in my coma."
Walking around Brighton he is the epitome of a bohemian man who doesn't give a monkey's what people think – probably because if he did, he would forget about it a minute later.
That's because Drako has anterograde amnesia; although he remembers his early life, he can't remember anything that has happened since two separate, serious accidents robbed him of the ability to create new memories. His life now exists only in the present. "I completely live in the here and now," he says. "And I love it. I love it all."
Filmed by Toby Amies over a period of four years, The Man Whose Mind Exploded follows Drako as he goes about his business unburdened by time. Drako doesn't appear to know who Amies is most of the time; regardless, he is completely accepting of this man with a camera turning up daily, documenting a life without memories. "Trust, absolute, unconditional," repeats Drako. "I've got it tattooed on my arm."
The Aladdin's cave of notes and pictures that form the backdrop to most of the film isn't any old collection of rubbish, it's a collection of Drako's memories, pinned to every surface of his tiny flat. Notes about doctor's appointments hang next to homoerotic images – although it's unclear how long either have been there. Only the ringing of Drako's doorbell signifies the passing of days and months.
The narrative is fractured and lacks a certain depth. The viewer is often left with questions, "what exactly do you remember of the last minute? Why aren't you afraid of this stranger in your house? How do you remember that you can't remember?" – but in some ways these loose ends and disjointed plot only accentuate what it is like to assume an existence no longer bound by time or influenced by the past.
What is clear is that Drako leads a happy existence, one that he says time and again is all about love and trust. "Trust, absolute, unconditional."
There's a vulnerability in his acceptance of anybody and everything. We see that living in the now means a tragic disregard for the passing of time. Aimes soon moves from film-maker to friend and ultimately, carer. He is burdened with a choice of when, if at all, it is right to call in social services. Should he separate a man from his memories so that he can live in safety, or let him stay surrounded by the things that make him happiest and watch his inevitable downfall?
The film is undoubtedly frustrating at times, but it is also poignant and very funny. Always, it is thought-provoking. It makes you consider how accepting we are of mental illness, of people who are "different", and what a fine line we tread when helping those with disorders of the mind.
As a documentary about mental health, it is well worth a watch, if only for its heartwarming show of acceptance and understanding. But ultimately what appealed to me was what we can learn from Drako's permanently present mind. Think about whether you are happy, loved and safe at this minute in time. If you are, you could do worse than to just love it, like Draco says. "Love. Love it all."
The Man Whose Mind Exploded is at Picturehouse cinemas throughout the UK from 1 July

Frequently, organizations use a Test Lead or a QA manager who manages the workload among the various testers. This practice is also seen in an intermediate person assigning tasks to various members. Assigning a test directly a test set or test run or a task directly to a named individual loses this visibility and creates resource imbalance.
One approach I have found effective is to use an intermediate traffic cop approach using the concept of a "pseudouser". Tests or tasks can then be assigned to the pseudouser. The person taking the role of the pseudouser can then access Spira and manage the work queue accordingly. The pseudouser is a role taken on by the person(s) managing the work queue for tasks, test case, or test set. This can also be extended to requirement and incident management.
NOTE: LDAP integration may not be possible as the is a non-living entity and is a role assumed by one or more people in the organization. So, has to be provided manually.
Under the project membership section, click on "Add" and add the specific projects (you can also associate role if different role is needed for each project).
Click on Save to ensure that user-project mapping is saved.
Inform the users of the pseudouser and associate the appropriate artifacts to the pseudouser.

My first stop was the House of the Virgin (Meryemana in Turkish), located in a nature park between Ephesus and Selçuk. It is believed to be the last residence of the Virgin Mary and so sacred to both Christians and Muslims. Photography is not allowed inside.
According to predominant Christian tradition, Mary was brought to Ephesus by the Apostle John after the Resurrection of Christ and lived out her days there. This is based mainly on the traditional belief that John came to Ephesus (see St. John's Basilica) combined with the biblical statement that Jesus consigned her to John's care (John 19:26-27). Archaeologists who have examined the building identified as the House of the Virgin believe most of the building dates from the 6th or 7th century. But its foundations are much older and may well date from the 1st century AD, the time of Mary.
Then we proceeded to Ephesus for a tour under the merciless sun. Here are some sights.
Ancient Ephesus was a great trading city and a centre for the cult of Cybele, the Anatolian fertility goddess. Under the influence of the Ionians, Cybele became Artemis, the virgin goddess of the hunt and the moon, and a fabulous temple was built in her honour. When the Romans took over, Artemis became Diana and Ephesus became the Roman provincial capital, the fourth largest city in the empire after Rome, Alexandria and Antioch.
The street was lined with flowering trees, fountains, monuments, statues and shops on both sides. Walking this street is the best way to understand how the Ephesians led their daily life. Due to frequent earthquakes, many structures including the Curetes Street had been damaged. Circular depressions and linear grooves were made into the marble to prevent pedestrians from slipping on the smooth marble street.
The Great Theatre was built in the 1st century AD. Later, it was renovated by several Roman Emperors. It is considered to be the most imposing and the most impressive structure of Ephesus city. It could host up to 25,000 spectators.
Its cavea (sitting section) consisted of 66 rows of stone seats which were divided into 3 horizontal sections by 2 diazomas (walkway between seats). The seats at the bottom of the cavea had marble backs and were used by the most important personalities of the city. Its skene (structure at the back of the theatre) consisted of 3 storeys with the 2nd one decorated with pillars, statues and carving by Emperor Nero. The 3rd storey was built by Septimus Severus in late 2nd century AD. The ground floor consisted of a long corridor with 8 rooms. The semi-circular constructure between the cavea and the skene, known as the orchestra, is the place on which the choruses were singing.
Columns with niches, statues and windows adorned the façade inside the theatre (opposite the spectators) and there were 5 openings (the middle one wider than the others) to the orchestra, which made the skene looking imposing.
There is a street on the upper part of the theatre which connects it with Curetes Street.
The Great Theatre of Ephesus was destroyed due to an earthquake in the 4th century AD and only a part of it was repaired.
Apart from the theatrical plays and the music performances that took place in the theatre, political and religious events were carried out in it as well. Among the most important of them is the conflict between Christians and the followers of Artemis during which Saint Paul was judged and sent to prison as he was accused of hurting Artemis.
This Corinthian-style temple honours Trajan's successor. Its main arch is supported by a central keystone, which remains perfectly balanced, without any need for mortar. Note its intricate details and patterns – Tyche , goddess of chance, adorns the first arch, while Medusa wards off evil spirits on the second.
Only the two side of the columns remain today – the other parts of it have not been found. The relief of the flying Nike in the Domitian Square is also thought to be a part of this gate.
Relief of Hercules (2nd century AD) with the skin of the Nemean lion – the reason why the gate is called so.
This early 2nd century library is the best-known monument in Ephesus and has been extensively restored.
Facade niches hold replica statues of the Four Virtues: Sophia (Wisdom), Arete (Goodness), Ennoia (Thought) and Episteme (Knowledge).
Some more of these magnificent ruins.

Picture you are dealing with two bookmakers, Bob and Rob. The ongoing playoff will involve two opponents A and B. Now, Bob is presenting bets with odds favoring player A when Rob is giving additional favorable odds for player B in seemingly different proportions. Now Cheap Jordan Howard Jersey , if you are unaware of 'arbitrage betting', you are heading to pick an individual booker and wager your entire amount of money (say a thousand dollars). Consequently, the fate of the full betting amount of money relies on the effectiveness of possibly A or B. But if you are an arber, you distribute the thousand dollars among Bob and Rob in a selected ratio that gives you a modest amount of assured earnings irrespective of the outcome.
As evident in the illustration Cheap Walter Payton Jersey , the essence of arbitrage betting lies in dealing with two or extra bookmakers with sizeable variation in betting prices. This is important due to the fact even if you bet on all the achievable results from a solitary bookie, total earnings can't be assured. With the booming trend of on the web betting, finding bookmakers is not particularly a lot of problem. In opposition to well-known misconception, bookmakers are essentially knowledgeable of the likelihood of arbitrage in their betting offers and employ various methods like lowering the max stake limits to discourage arbers.

The Story Of This Abandoned Mill In Delaware Is Incredible
August 28, 2016 | By David Clarke
Seeing remnants from the past can transport you back to a different time, and it can be a truly wonderful experience. It can almost make us feel like we were in an era that we weren't even born in, and it can help us to experience what a different time in history was like.
Speaking of history, 1787 was a special year for Delaware as it was the year that their first paper mill opened. The mill was called Gilpin's Mill, and it was located north of Wilmington just off the shore of the Brandywine Creek. This painting was created by Thomas Doughty in 1827, and it's titled "Gilpin's Mill On The Brandywine."
More than 40 years later in 1831, Joseph Bancroft's textile company opened a location on the same site. During the 1930s, the cotton finishing factory was said to be one of the best in the whole world, and the Bancroft family made great efforts to help the community and region. The site was continuously expanded but eventually closed in 1961.
After closing, the site changed hands to the Wilmington Piece Dye company in the mid-1960s, and they owned it until 2003. At that point, the factory closed again as the company filed for bankruptcy. In the above photo the bridge that connected the banks of Brandywine River and allowed pedestrians to traverse it is shown. We wouldn't recommend walking it now as it looks like the rest of the factory, desolate and uncared for!
Once again, the property changed hands. Condo developers bought the site with plans to demo the existing structures and build luxury condominiums. Two of the previous buildings on the location have been transformed into condo buildings housing 46 units. The buildings have the beautiful backdrop of the Brandywine River.
The new condominiums are called the Bancroft Mills Condominiums, and they make no efforts to hide the history of the location. Instead, they actually boast about the rich history of the site on their website. The picture above shows the beautiful scenery that the residents at the Bancroft Mills Condominiums have in their backyard.
Some of the other buildings that have not yet been converted were subject to a fire in 2015, and so they look even more desolate than they did before. The pictures above show some of the damage the morning after the fire took place.
Even with the new damage to the buildings, the site is still an amazing tribute to the history that all started with Gilpin's Mill in 1787. It's fascinating that a location that was once used as a paper mill turned into a textile factory, and then eventually into luxury condominiums. We can't wait to see how the history continues to get richer over the coming years!
Have you ever been to the Brandywine Creek in Delaware and seen the mill? Let us know in the comments, and make sure to share the story with your family and friends!

I am sure it is not a secret by now that I am passionate about mythology and ancient history. However, it has also been a long standing dream of mine to have a little bookshop that deals especially with these subjects where I can choose stories, books and artworks that I like to then repackage and reproduce them to a wider audience.
That dream has now come true and I am the curator of this little online bookshop called Baubo Bookshop. The story behind the name comes from a now forgotten legend which says that when the world was dying as Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, was desperately looking for her lost daughter, she met a woman named Baubo. Baubo told her a secret, made Demeter laugh and the world was saved as Demeter gained the strength to continue her search. What little we know about this story are remnants of ancient ritual of being together, sharing our hearts, laughing ourselves silly until we feel alive again to go and share this energy with the rest of the world.
That is the whole philosophy of this bookshop. We would like to give our readers the space to go back to the ancient legends whether it is to learn, to relate or simply to enjoy the stories that have given learning and entertainment to our ancestors for thousands of years.
The artist responsible for the artworks you see on the Baubo Bookshop website is ROOSDY, a specialist of concept art, digital painting and commercial storyboarding. He takes inspiration from such classical painters as William Adolphe Bouguereau, Jean-Leon Verso, Edmund Leighton, Paul Delaroche and Frank Dicksee, and hopes to bring classical realism to modern commercial art and literary adaptations. His artwork is everywhere so do visit his pages sometime.
We add two affordable books on a monthly basis and we always add to our art page. For now, you can find our artworks and merchandise at Society6.
As an introduction to our new endeavour, "Forgotten Magic: A Collection of Mythological Essays" by Martini Fisher and R. K. Fisher is now available exclusively on Baubo Bookshop. This book is a compilation of blogs by me and notes by R.K. Fisher ranging from such serious topics such as the power of laughter and the philosophy of tickling. Also included in the book are writings from R.K. Fisher on topics such as the analysis of Santa Claus and the myth of chivalrous knights.
Those three women you see on the cover are the Moriae (the three Fates). They controlled the mother thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. They were independent, at the helm of necessity, directed fate, and watched that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction. The three Moirae sing in unison with the music of the Sirens. Lachesis sings about the things that were, Clotho sings about the things that are, and Atropos sings about the things that are to be.
The artwork for this cover is also available in our Society6 store.
Join in the fun and get the book this month. It's on a discount for the whole of April.


I agree with the sentiments expressed here; this is a very brave, honest post. These are large forces to confront, which are built to suppress confrontation. I have also been wondering how to constructively challenge these constructs by forging new ones founded on vastly different values, and relations with the indigenous peoples and land.


We consider statistical inference in the presence of serial dependence. The main focus is on use of statistics that are constructed as if no dependence were believed present, and are asymptotically normal in the presence of dependence. Typically the variance in the limit distribution is affected by the dependence, and needs to be consistently estimated. We discuss first the leading caes of location and regression models, stressing least squares estimation. We then consider the use of robust estimates, such as M-estimates, in these models. We go on to discuss more general statistical models, including econometric models. The rules of inference adopted in these cases typically involve use of a bandwidth or smoothing number when the dependence introduces a nonparametric aspect, and we discuss choice of such numbers. We then consider some possibilities for improved inference by use of higher-order asymptotic theory and the bootstrap. The dependence considered in the paper is mostly of short-range type, but we also discuss forms of long-range dependence. Finally, we consider inference based on smoothed nonparametric estimates of probability densities and regression functions, where dependence often has no effect on first-order asymptotics.

I didn't plan on eating chicken feet when I showed up at Cochon in New Orleans the other day. Chef Stephen Stryjewski sent out this plate of fried chicken feet. They were fried then tossed with butter, herbs, and garlic. The small nibbles were succulent and full of flavor. This is my new favorite appetizer.

As I mentioned in Part 1, movement and activity has countless benefits to your ministry and lessons but can be hard to work in, whether it's because of space issues, scheduling problems or a particularly inactive, uncoordinated or game-resistant group of teens. I get it. We don't all have gyms, fields, great weather, unimpeded time to the gyms and fields, and a group of teen warrior poets that want nothing more than to play ultimate frisbee before sitting down and reflecting on the sermon on the mount. So, in case you fall into the majority that has at least one of these shortages, here are 3 ways I've used to incorporate movement into my youth ministry time.
Too Few Seats. This is exactly what it sounds like; I like to find a space or create a space with too few chairs in it, which often causes teens to sit on the ground, lean on the walls and otherwise get creative about sitting. Then, I work different group activities into the lesson in which the teens break out into different groups in different spaces, changing how they were seated, where they were seated and with whom they were seated. It may seem manipulate, strange or in some cases cruel, but I am not saying deprive your youth, simply give them options and opportunities to sit, stand and lean differently.
Move Right Along. Plan a progressive lesson that has several deliberate sections. When you arrive at a new section, move to a new room or space. Go outside. Visit the playground. Change the surroundings often so, even though you are doing a lesson the whole time, you are moving. This is a great opportunity to teach about different spaces in your church, too, and discuss their purposes and unique qualities, like the sanctuary or chapel having pews, a chancel and/or an altar and why.
Stand Up, Sit Down. If you are going to ask questions in your group, especially yes/no or polling questions, instead of having them raise their hands, have them stand up or to go to one side of the room or another. This works well and is a very easy addition to your lesson, as you will likely ask the questions in your lesson already. In fact, take the time to build a few more questions or polling into your lesson for this very reason. The movement will keep the brain awake and likely help the youth remember the question in the future.
Movement can be effective even if it's simple, so there's no reason you can't get your teens to be active. It's ultimately to their benefit as a learner and yours as a teacher. Whether you are teaching them about Jesus, the Bible or how to play Gaga Ball, the activity and movement will help give them the best chance to retain the information and to use it more effectively to bridge concepts later. Get creative and create opportunities to get the blood flowing, and you will definitely see results.


Thanks to Jamie's foster family for their loving care of this Senior boy over the last year. He was loved and will be missed.
Jamie was found as a stray, so his entire prior life is a blank slate. His foster family can tell you about his present life. He's as sweet as can be -- very calm and very quiet. He rarely barks and never gets up on the furniture.
He's a true Velcro dog who follows his humans around whenever they're on the move. If they're outside, he's outside. If they're inside, he's inside. If they're watching TV, he simply settles down on his bed in the living room to snooze. When they go to bed at night, he transfers to his bed in the bedroom.
Jamie has a great appetite and gets along with his five foster siblings. He is deaf, but he's usually so close by, all you have to do is gesture what you want, and he does it. He does suffer from incontinence. He's looking for a very laid back and understanding Forever Family.

Since then, Nathanson has been within the intersection of solar energy and artwork. He managed Sundown, a Central Park artwork set up that consisted of a solar-powered ice cream truck, and he now teaches lessons on artwork and engineering. Throughout two latest Sundays, college students at Pioneer Works, an artwork area in Brooklyn, realized to make sun-powered robots and low-voltage sound sculptures.
The upcycled photo voltaic cells used within the initiatives.
In keeping with Nathanson, many giant "photo voltaic installations" are literally linked to the grid, so it's vital to him that something claiming to be "solar-powered artwork" really makes use of useful photo voltaic cells as a substitute of merely speculating about how the cells might be used, or utilizing the cells solely as ornament. To take action is greenwashing that erases the potential of utilizing photo voltaic supplies to find out about bodily craft and doable options to local weather change, he says.
In Nathanson's class, the scholars — who don't want prior engineering expertise — used upcycled photo voltaic cells from Jameco that got here in quite a lot of shapes. The sound venture had three components: construct the sound circuit, construct the photo voltaic panel itself, after which join the 2. To execute this, the scholars realized engineering ideas (like collection and parallel circuits, volts and amps, calculating output) in addition to technical expertise (reminiscent of how one can use a soldering iron).
College students learn to assemble a sound circuit on a breadboard.
A pupil makes use of a soldering iron to construct the photo voltaic panel, which is hooked up to the balsa wooden sculpture.
The ultimate product makes an array of digital sounds when positioned in daylight, relying on how the circuit and panels are constructed.
Alex Nathanson holds the venture that his college students made in the course of the second week: a sculpture hooked up to a sound circuit that makes numerous sounds when positioned within the Solar.
The sculptures got here in numerous sizes. Some, just like the one above, are manufactured from acrylic and look extra like mosaics. Others had been manufactured from balsa wooden and had been extra triangular in form.
The week earlier than, the scholars had constructed a unique artwork venture: little solar-powered robots that moved.
Photo voltaic-powered robots that transfer.
Nathanson additionally maintains Photo voltaic Energy for Artists, an archive of different initiatives. These vary from Low Tech Journal, a publication run on a mini-computer powered by off-grid photo voltaic power, to the 1957 Photo voltaic Do-Nothing Machine, which is without doubt one of the first examples of utilizing daylight to generate electrical energy, which then powers a whimsical artwork set up.

Integrating Music Across the Curriculum Even During Distance Learning, A Conversation with Summer Dittmer
In this interview, we sat down with Summer Dittmer, the Executive Director of the Pacific Boychoir Academy, which is an elementary and middle school in Oakland. She talks about her background in stand-up comedy and astrophysics and her experiences at the Grammy award-winning Pacific Boychoir Academy. Plus, she explains how music is a part of every subject and how the arts can be taught from home.
By the way, this conversation was originally featured on our podcast, which you can listen to here or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
You were a stand-up comic in the past and also worked in broadcasting. How did you get into education?
Stand-up comedy was my passion from the age of six to about 22. It's still a passion. I just don't perform anymore. I graduated from college two years early in order to be a stand-up comic and to take this awesome job with NBC as a sports broadcaster.
But between that job that I was about to take and graduation, I was offered a job at the school that I graduated from to be a math and drama teacher. It was a rare hybrid, but they had two part-time openings. They remembered I went through calculus and loved it, and I also enjoyed acting.
So I got the call and started at 21 teaching math and drama, which then led to honors English and studying all things education, and I couldn't step away from it. It was something and that I'd never experienced before. And even to this day, it's stressful especially given the times that we're in, but it's so rewarding.
What's your experience been like at the Pacific Boychoir Academy?
Well, it's been pretty amazing. It was definitely not what I intended to do; I pictured becoming a professor. I thought that I was going to go on to ideally teach astrophysics and math to some college students. Previously, I had taught 19 years in high school including AP calculus, AP English, and theater classes, and I was an administrator for high school.
I have a student of my own, my son, and we took him on a tour of a small school called Pacific Boychoir Academy. And I was floored; I was blown away. The sound that was resonating from this pretty humble campus was unlike anything that I've ever heard. Having grown up with a lot of music and musical theater, I'm pretty picky, and I loved it.
Months later, I heard that a math position became available at the school, so I interviewed, and I got the position. Within six months, I was the Head of School, serving as principal and the full-time math teacher at this Grammy award-winning small school in the heart of Oakland. People in Europe know who we are, we were on America's Got Talent, and the San Francisco Symphony uses us as their choir. And yet the people down the street in Oakland had no idea who we were; I had no idea who they were initially, but they've been around 20 years.
Especially as a mom of a son who wasn't enjoying school at all in the fourth grade, having a school that's centered around music, especially with what music does to the male adolescent mind, I had this gravitation toward it; I couldn't pass it up.
And I work 60 hours a week, but I still show up every morning with this excitement and pride in where I work. I watch the transformations every day in the boys even through COVID and distance learning, and there's nothing like it. It's truly what you would call an unparalleled experience.
What is it like to incorporate music into the curriculum? Is there a hard divide? Or is this a blending of these different subjects?
It's such a blending; music is everywhere. It's that one common language that everyone speaks. And I know that sounds cheesy, but most of our boys can sing in five or six languages. And that's from third grade to eighth grade.
Music is incorporated daily. And math is music, so that's an easy one. Just look at fractions, even our logo is a 16th note. Math is fractions, and fractions are music.
When you're talking about literary genres, music parallels that. And when you have a literary genre, the history that's happening is paralleling that genre. So, tying all of those things together isn't so complicated.
Even in our science program, we have an incredible science teacher who graduated from Cal and loves music, and he incorporates lessons on building your own instrument or the science of sound. When our school was closed through COVID, we did this digital performance where the kids made their own music with the instruments that they created from scratch. They had to write their own song, and they even recorded it. And the boys just grew more than you could possibly imagine throughout this period of school campus closures.
You've mentioned the pandemic and distance learning. What kind of changes is the Pacific Boychoir Academy implementing to prepare for the return to school in September?
After we closed, we started online learning two days after that. And we maintained our classes, schedules, group town halls, game nights, and clubs. It was business as usual, but business now was 65 hours a week for every one of our faculty.
So we met and looked at the upcoming trimester. And luckily for us, we're a small school with a max class size of 10 pre COVID. All of our faculty was on board for open doors, open minds. We have to keep our kids safe but also mentally healthy, and they need interaction.
There are performers at our school, who have gone to six continents and performed, and they spend the majority of their time rehearsing for performances. To be kept inside, it's not good for them. They're not their happiest, so we need them back on campus.
Things are going to look different. You can't have a chorus, which that's what we are. There's definitely a more individualized approach with small, outdoor, socially-distanced rehearsals as well as one-on-one work focusing on voice and music theories.
You've been working with the kids to keep them engaged in music, even though they've been distanced from the school. Could you talk more about those projects?
We've had online concerts, and even throughout the school campus closure, we maintained our schedules. While they might not be in a class for 45 minutes or an hour, they would have classwork every day, and they'd meet with a couple of their teachers. Then at the end of every single day, they would have music rehearsal.
We also had a science fair with the science of music, and the kids presented their instruments. Some were made from cans of tomatoes, drum sets, and wine glasses full of water.
I'm sure that requires some flexibility on the part of the teaching staff.
It does. The fact that every teacher in the universe didn't quit during this period is amazing to me. It's about two and a half times the work for close to half the reward. Online teaching is a completely different wheelhouse, and most teachers did not sign up for that right.
But we had to do it. So our teachers were working 60 hours a week just lesson planning, prepping, and having one-on-ones with students. It's amazing that every one of our faculty members stayed on and every one of our music department members stayed on. I think that everyone has this common mission with our school; they see the benefits of music and the male adolescent mind, whether it's online or in person.
Your school won a Grammy. Are there any other special projects that Pacific Boychoir Academy will be taking part in anytime soon?
Well, yes; we have nonstop special projects. While we were supposed to be performing for Michael Tilson Thomas and his final San Francisco Symphony performance, those obviously aren't happening. As a result, we decided to do our own online concerts. We have a concert series on our YouTube that you can either watch live or recorded.
It's amazing to see the boys transform. And it's amazing to be a part of that experience. It's why most of us teachers become teachers and why we give our entire life to this because there's no other job that gives you that satisfaction and where every day is a learning experience. Every single day you turn a new leaf, and that is the reason that I stay here.
