Less crime on Busan beaches this summer: police
By Kim So-hyun

Updated : Sept 4, 2018 - 14:35
Busan's seven major beaches saw less crime this summer, including fewer sex offenses, compared with previous years.
Busan police said Tuesday that the number of vacationers on Busan's beaches dropped from about 48.2 million in June-August of 2017 to around 41.1 million in the same period this year.
"Summer police squads" patrolled all seven beaches this year as part of efforts to prevent crime.
There were 40 instances of five major crimes -- murder, robbery, rape, theft and assault -- on the beaches this summer, police said, a significant drop from 70 in the same period last year. Reports through the 112 police call center also declined, by 11.6 percent.
Twenty-seven of the crimes took place at Haeundae Beach, followed by 10 at Gwangalli Beach and one each at Songdo, Songjeong and Dadaepo beaches.
The number of sex crimes declined from 17 last summer to seven this summer, and other violent crimes from 10 to three.
Three cases of illegal filming and four cases of sexual molestation occurred, all of them committed by Korean nationals.
In June-August last year, non-Korean nationals committed 11 sex crimes at the Busan beaches.

Chicago man pioneers new pandemic stress-relief technique: Jumping into a lake every day
Reid McCarter

Dan O'Conor is an artist and clothing designer from Chicago who's shown the world a simple method for relieving the stress of living through a pandemic. Each day since June 13th, he's headed to Lake Michigan and jumped into the water, regardless of the weather. It's a simple action, but it seems to work wonders.
In a profile from Block Club Chicago, we learn that O'Conor first decided to go jump in a lake while hungover and more stressed than usual about the year. He "rode his bike to the lake, locked it up, and walked along the wall facing Lake Michigan near Montrose Harbor," the article says. "On a whim, he dove in."
Five months later, O'Conor's just finished his 165th consecutive lake jump, freezing his ass off in order to get a bit of peace while the world—including the clothing business he runs—gets rockier with every day. He describes the jumps as "almost meditative" and says the routine wasn't planned. "It's just something fun I've been doing," O'Conor says. "With everything canceled, that was another reason I think I started diving. Just to go out and do something. To get out of the house."
He's been tweeting most of the jumps, tracking each dive along with the air and water temperature at the time. Some of the days look pretty idyllic—like the ones showing the late summer lake tossing in the sun—but others, like the slow-mo video from today, seem like a pretty brutal way to get the blood pumping, even with some background Motörhead working as encouragement.
O'Conor says he'll have to shut down his experiment in aquatic meditation before too much longer. "I'm not going all the way to the full year," he says. He plans to continue "for at least the rest of November" but "knows he won't be diving once the lake is freezing."
Even after he's stopped, though, his guidance will live on. The O'Conor Method seems applicable for just about any situation. Work got you down? Jump in a lake. Family stressing you out? Jump in a lake. The crushing fear that life is nothing but a series of painful moments, strung along an endless line forward that ends in the unthinkable void of psychic oblivion? Just jump in a lake.

ITER fusion project to set up oversight group this month- China science minister
by Sam Allcock
BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) – An international group to oversee the international fusion project known as ITER will be formally established on Oct 24, said the Chinese Vice-Minister of Science and Technology, Li Xueyong.
China formally ratified the ITER agreement in September, Li said.
'We will positively fulfil our obligations under the terms of the agreement, and at the same time, share rights to the project,' he added.
ITER is an experimental fusion reactor being developed in conjunction with the EU, India, Japan, China, Russia, South Korea, and the US.
Costing a total of 15.5 bln usd, the project will generate power through the fusion of the hydrogen isotopes of deuterium and tritium extracted from sea water.
China will be responsible for 9 pct of the costs.
The practical applications of the technology are unclear, but the partners are hoping to use the research as a way of producing a long-term alternative to fossil fuels.
China has also launched a number of its own experimental fusion projects, including the 'artificial sun' reactor built by the China Academy of Sciences in 2005.

Q: how to change the attributes of child divs from the parent div through javascript?

#va{
  color:yellow;

}
#v{
  color:pink;
}

my name is

khan

i have tried using document.getelementbyid("va").style.color="yellow"; but the color of element v is not changing i want to change its color by the id of parent i want it to be done through javascript as it is the simple example of the situation in which i am traped plz help

A:

$("#va>#v").css("background-color","green")
#va{
  color:yellow;

}
#v{
  color:pink;
}

   asdasd

my name is

khan

*

*Use > the direct child selector.

*The selector will select the direct child(with id v) of element with id va and change color to red

A: With jquery you have two options, using the .children() method or using .find() method, take a look in this snippet:

$("#va").children().css("color", "red");
//$("#va").find("#v").css("color","blue");
#va {
  color: yellow;
}

#v {
  color: pink;
}

    my name is

    khan

A: If you want to change the color of ID v, use getElementById("v") rather that getElementById("va")

document.getElementById("v").style.color = "yellow";
#va {
  color: yellow;
}

#v {
  color: pink;
}

my name is

khan

A: you can change the class attribute of any element and create the css to what you need using:
document.getElementById("va").setAttribute("class", "yellow-class");

css would bw something like:
.yellow-class{
    color: yellow;
}

A: Colors styles only affect child nodes if the child node's color property is set to initial.
#va{
  color:yellow;
}
#v{
  color:initial;
}

However, this will remove the default pink color from your tag. There are lots of different ways you could solve this problem but the simplest would be to just create a new style rule and simply use js to add a class to #va to change the style.
#va.yellow #v {
  color: yellow;
}

And use this js.
document.getElementById("va").className += " yellow";

Not exactly what I imagined happened in the Men's locker room – but, hey, if you got a cyst, then you got to pop! Good job, guys!!
wow guys you shoulda left that one to someone wwho knew what they were doin. That was some serious infection,that was deep and sometimes has random pockets. You can't just go slashing across what you think is the head, hope your bud isn't headed for any trouble..Go to the Doc..
Usually they're spread out one to a village, in this case they've gathered in one place… kind of unusual to have so many idiots togethr. The guy who was doing the cutting and squeezing was right; he should've cut deeper and not have listened to the knucklehead who told him not to cut any more. By the way- I think there was still some pus in there… hope you do ok!!!
A bunch of little girls……………………… grow a set guys!
okay I have the volume off and I can still ear them.
Wished his hands had been out of the way during the 1st blow-out.
Poor kid, looked like he was going to throw up….
And this gentlemen, is how you spread staph and MRSA in the locker room….
Another case of too many hands in the mix!!!
Def. shaky camera work, too loud w/ too many ppl, but hey w/ the job that was done on him, I suspect he'll be back in a more clinical setting to finish the job. Therre was def. a lot left in there.
So, Emilbus, I wonder if this group of dudes met up again in adjoining hospital beds if that infection spread. It sure didn't look like an ordinary cyst.

Brief Description: One would be hard pressed to find another day like June 1, 2000 in terms of depth and range of severe, convective weather events across south-central and southeast Wisconsin. Tornadoes, widespread and localized flash flooding, funnel clouds, damaging hurricane-force, straight-line winds associated with a wicked squall-line, large hail stones, urban/small flooding, lightning strikes, and significant mainstem river flooding were reported. As in the preceding weeks, a quasi-stationary front over northern Illinois served as a boundary for warm, moist, unstable air to be pulled north over the cooler air over Wisconsin. Leftover flooding (from the evening of May 31, 2000) and isolated severe thunderstorms were noted during the pre-dawn to mid morning hours. However a powerful squall-line formed along the Mississippi River in the La Crosse area by mid-afternoon, and pushed into south-central Wisconsin by late afternoon with "all hell breaking loose." After the squall line moved into the southeast part of the state, it was followed by widespread showers and thunderstorms that triggered additional flooding problems. The east/southeast moving storms would not end until around 2300CST. As a result of the wild weather events, a State of Emergency was declared in Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Green, Iowa, Lafayette, Rock, and Sauk counties. Numerous power lines were knocked down by felled trees or wind gusts outright, resulting in the lose of power to 20,000 customers. Significant storm and flooding events will be summarized below county by county. Marquette Co: 6 homes were damaged and trees uprooted by powerful winds estimated at 70 knots (80 mph) in Briggsville. Urban flooding in Briggsville was also noted with water 6 inches deep. Green Lake Co: powerful winds knocked down trees in both Kingston and Markesan, and large hail was noted. Fond du Lac Co: a brief, F0 tornado spun up in the rural area southeast of Oak Center. Only some hay crop was damaged. Elsewhere, urban flooding and large hail was noted. Between 1700 and 1900CST, 1.71 inches of rain fell in the city of Fond du Lac. Sheboygan Co: powerful thunderstorm winds pushed over trees in the southern portions. Sauk Co: powerful winds blew over large trees in the Reedsburg to Baraboo area as well as around Prairie du Sac. Then the heavens oped up as 3.75 inches of rain fell between 1600 and 1645CST in North Freedom. There were other reports of up to 6 inches of rain falling in 2 hours. Flash flooding developed along Narrows Creek which left mud marks 8 feet high on some buildings. So much water came down Narrows Creek that it temporarily backed up the water of the Baraboo River! The Baraboo River flooded homes, and other creeks tore pieces of Highways 12 and 113 away. Road beds and parking lots were ripped away on the south side of Baraboo. Some railroad beds and many drainage culverts across the county were washed away. Severe erosion was noted on the cliffs overlooking the north shore of Devils Lake, whose water level rose about 3 feet due to runoff. All together, 153 residential homes were damaged, 17 businesses reported water damage, and 220,000 acres of farm land sustained water or erosion damage. The flooding was more widespread and worse than the 1993 flood, based on newspaper accounts. The Baraboo River near Baraboo crested at 22.04 feet on June 2nd, or 6.04 feet above flood stage (moderate flooding), after rising above flood stage at 0400CST on the 1st. Upriver at Rock Springs, the flood stage of 18.5 feet was exceeded at 1630CST on the 1st, and the crest was 21.71 feet at 0750CST on the 2nd (major flooding). Columbia Co: powerful winds uprooted large trees in and around Portage. In addition, a garage was damaged, several vehicles were blown into roadside ditches quickly reached a depth of 1 to 3 feet over portions of Highway 12 around Portage, and on Highway 73 in the southeast corner where residents were evacuated. Gravel road shoulder and culvert washouts were reported on some roads. Agricultural crop damage and soil erosion were also noted. Dodge Co: the main event was a long-lived tornado that spun up just south of Highway S about 4 miles south of Horicon, just southwest of the intersection of Highways S and E. Eyewitness accounts suggested that this tornado was a rain-wrapped and multi-vortex as it hopped-skipped east/southeast through the heart of the village of Iron Ridge (F2 at this time, 140-50 mph wind), before exiting the county on Highway S. All together, this F2 tornado destroyed 6 homes, and damaged 26 other homes, 6 businesses, 2 barns, 1 silo, semi-tractor trailer, a green house, and many cars. It destroyed 5 agricultural buildings. No one was injured or killed by this early-warned tornado. Five other barns were damaged in the county by the powerful straight-line winds associated with the squall-line. In addition, large hail up to walnut size was noted. Flash flooding was reported in the southeast part of the county when 1.5 inches of rain fell in a short period of time. Soil erosion and shoulder washouts were reported near the intersection of Highways 60 and P, south of Rubicon. Washington Co: the Dodge County tornado continued into Washington County for about 1.5 miles near and along Highway S. It damaged a barn and silo and uprooted more trees before dissipating. The tornado in this county had winds estimated at 80 mph, or F1 strength. No one was injured or killed. Flash flooding was reported south of Hartford where soil erosion and gravel shoulder washouts occurred due to swirling flood waters. Otherwise, large hail and tree-uprooting winds were noted in Germantown. Iowa Co: Pre-dawn flash flooding occurred across the northern portion of Iowa County due to leftover thunderstorms that hit the county on May 31st. Morrey Creek overflowed it banks in the village of Avoca, damaging 35 homes and eroding surrounding landscaping. In Dodge State Park near Dodgeville, 50 miles of trails were closed after several bridges were washed out by flooding waters. In addition, gravel road shoulder and culvert washouts were noted on several roads. Another round of flash flooding occurred across the northern portion of the county thanks to torrential rains of 2 to 4 inches in 1 to 2 hours in the late afternoon and early evening hours. An estimated 10,250 acres sustained major soil erosion and many roads had water depths of 1 to 3 feet as water currents washed away gravel shoulders. Crop damage was extensive. Dane Co: pre-dawn severe storms dumped large hail and knocked down many tree limbs in the Madison area. During the same storm, lightning struck a west-side Madison hotel, resulting in damage to its electrical system. Urban/small stream flooding was noted in the pre-dawn hours across the northern part of the county with water covering low spots on Highways 12, 73, and 113. A couple streets were flooded and closed in the village of Mazomanie due to high water levels on the Black Earth Creek. Sandbagging was needed to protect about a dozen homes in Mazomanie. Powerful thunderstorm winds uprooted trees which then damaged many vehicles in the Madison to Cottage Grove area during the evening. At least 60 trees blocked various roads in the Madison area, and 18 power lines were reported down. Roof tiles were also removed from some homes as the winds gusted to an estimated 70 knots (80 mph). An expensive gazebo was destroyed by uprooted trees in the city of Monona. Shortly thereafter, flash-flood producing rains hit much of the county. Madison streets were rivers as 27 cars were stranded or pushed around. It was the worst flooding the city during the past 15 years. Sandbagging commenced in Monona to protect homes. Many roads across the county were damaged by flood waters, with most damage in the northwest part of the county. In the village of Oregon, 1.90 inches of rain was measured in just 45 minutes ending at 1830CST. Additional soil erosion and ponding of water resulted in extensive, severe crop damage across the county. Collectively, wind and/or flood damage occurred to at least 646 residential homes in the county, and to 3 businesses. Probably 30,000 acres of farm land had significant crop damage. A new daily rainfall record of 3.46 inches was set at Madison's Traux Field, breaking the old record of 1.33 inches set back in 1892. Runoff from this rainfall eventually pushed Lake Mendota to 31.5 inches above its normal summer level on June 5th, which was the highest reading since the beginning of records in 1916. In response to the high lake levels in Dane county, many nearby homes were sandbagged, and public beach and boat docks were closed. Jefferson Co: an early morning, severe thunderstorm dumped large hail on Lake Mills. Another storm's lightning struck a Ft. Atkinson church steeple, resulting in structural and water damage. The evening storms generated damaging winds that uprooted large trees. Lightning started a minor fire on a Lake Mills home's roof. Heavy rains of 2 to 3 inches during the evening generated scattered flash flooding across the county, mostly in the form of gravel shoulder washouts of several roads. Roads near the Rock River in Ft. Atkinson were closed due to the swirling waters. Soil erosion and crop washouts were noted across the county. Rainfall totals of 2.39 inches and 2.72 inches were noted in Ft. Atkinson and Jefferson, respectively. The heavy rains forced the Crawfish River at Milford to exceed the flood stage of 7 feet on June 2nd , and crest at 8.38 feet on June 7th (moderate flooding). Waukesha Co: powerful thunderstorm winds uprooted trees in the Genesee area. Milwaukee Co: large hail was reported in the city of Milwaukee. Torrential rains of around 2 inches in 1 to 2 hours in the city of Fox Point resulted in flash flooding in that city. Landscaping damage and some road damage was noted due to swift water currents. Lafayette Co: a brief tornado occurred north of Calamine. It damaged 2 large pole sheds and uprooted many trees along its short path. Several calves were injured as they were pushed across the road. Eyewitness accounts suggest this F1 tornado (winds about 100 mph) was rain-wrapped. Otherwise, the squall line's powerful winds uprooted trees and over-turned a car-trailer combo east of Belmont. Similar to other counties, flash-flood producing rains followed the winds. Across the county, all mainstem river, stream, creeks, and other low spots experienced flash flooding. Bridge under-cutting was noted on Highway K outside of Gratiot, on Highway H in Jenkynsville, and Highway G in the northwest corner. Moderate to severe damage to road shoulders and washed out driveways was noted countywide. Twenty-one roads were closed at one time or another. At least 75 residential homes and 5 businesses reported flood damage, while 2 private utility buildings suffered damage. Two farm buildings were destroyed by the flood waters, and 15 others damaged. About 7000 acres of farm land were severely damaged. The Pecatonica River in Darlington closed down Highway 23 from the south. The river at this location exceeded the flood stage of 11 feet late on May 31st, and crested at 15.77 feet at 0730CST on June 1st (moderate flooding). Near South Wayne, lightning started a minor house fire. Green Co: pre-dawn and morning urban/small stream flooding occurred countywide due to rainfall that started on May 31st. The rains ended by sunrise. Up to 5 inches of rain fell overnight in the southwest part of the county. Many streams were 5 to 10 feet wide, resulting in water covering low-lying roads to a depth of 1 foot. Several cars were swept into roadside ditches. Urban basements had minor flood damage. Additional heavy rains followed the evening squall line which resulted in a new round of flash flooding across much of the county. Eight miles of the 24 mile long Sugar River State Trail were closed from near Monticello to near Albany due to washed out bridges and undercut paths. Five homes sustained significant damage. Numerous roads were closed due to high water levels and dozens of vehicles were stranded or pushed into roadside ditches. Gravel road shoulder and culvert washouts were noted countywide. Water levels in the city of Brodhead were the highest in many years. Legion Park in Albany was closed after the adjacent Sugar River exceeded flood stage. Moderate to severe soil erosion was noted to 5000 acres of farm fields. The Pecatonica River at Martintown exceeded the flood stage of 13.5 feet at 0000CST on June 1st, and crested at 18.51 feet on June 4th (moderate flooding). Rock Co: powerful thunderstorm winds downed large trees in scattered parts of the county. However, flash-flood producing rains hit during the evening hours. Most mainstem and nearly all streams and creeks jumped their banks. Nine roads along Lake Koshkonong sustained washout damage due to swift water currents. At least 100 homes outside of the major cities sustained damage. Many Beloit and Janesville homes in low spots reported landscape flood damage as well as basement flooding. Flash flood waters also tore through farm fields, leaving moderate to severe soil erosion and crop damage to at least 20,000 acres. Flood waters from the Sugar River in the southwest corner of the county closed roads west of the village of Avon. Walworth Co: no damage reports. Kenosha Co: several rounds of heavy rains during the evening on top of previously saturated soils and high river levels resulted in flash flooding scattered across the county. Several roads had fast-flowing waters 1 to 3 feet deep which resulted in shoulder washouts and cars being swept into roadside ditches. At least 75 homes sustained significant flood damage in the Wheatland, Salem, and Silver Lake areas. About 47,000 acres of farm land had serious soil erosion, and washed or flooded crops. Due to rainfall totals during the evening of 2 to 3 inches, the Fox River at New Munster continued to rise and would eventually crest at 12.76 feet early on June 3rd, or 2.76 feet above flood stage. Three homes Silver Lake homes were evacuated.

Brief Description: This tornado was a continuation of the tornado that moved east-southeast from Markesan (Green Lake Co.) through the southwest corner of Fond du Lac County (civil Town of Alto). In Dodge County it maintained its F3 strength (175-200 mph) as it moved east-southeast through the city of Waupun and through rural areas of northern Dodge County to a point 2 miles southeast of Lomira, where it dissipated just west of U.S. Highway 41. Many homes and vehicles in the Dodge County portion of Waupun were damaged. Toward Lomira, several dozens of agricultural buildings and homes were damage. Numerous trees were uprooted from Waupun to near Lomira, and some crop damage was noted. Estimated damage in Waupun was about $3M, and $2.5M in the civil Towns of Lomira and Le Roy. Average path width was about 300 yards. Two rounds of severe weather affected parts of south-central and southeast Wisconsin on June 23rd, with the second round featuring 8 tornadoes, large hail (up to golf-ball size), and powerful straight-line downburst winds. A warm front moving north through the area resulted in favorable vertical wind shear to allow for supercell development. The 1st round of severe weather was due to a broken line of intense thunderstorms moving across Walworth, Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties. Hail of up to 1 inch in diameter and torrential rainfall accompanied these storms before they moved over Lake Michigan and weakened. The 2nd round of severe weather was dominated by 2 cyclic supercells - one moved east/southeast through Marquette, Green Lake, Fond du Lac, and Washington Counties, spinning up 5 separate tornadoes, dumping hail stones up to 3 inches in diameter, and hurricane-force downburst winds. The large hail dented several vehicles. Two of these were rated F3. Refer to the individual tornado reports for more details. A more southerly supercell tracked across extreme southern Sauk County and then made a partial right turn and headed southeast through Dane County, spinning up 2 tornadoes in the process, as well as large hail and downburst winds. One powerful downburst wind in Madison (Dane Co.) blew equipment off the roof of a business at the Midvale Shopping Mall. A semi southwest of Ft. Atkinson was blown over by straight-line wind gusts. This southern supercell eventually spun up another tornado in south-central Jefferson County which moved into north-central Walworth County. Refer to the individual tornado reports for more details. Both supercells had downbursts that generated large hail and powerful, hurricane-force winds north and south of their tracks. Over all of Wisconsin, 16 tornadoes were documented on June 23rd, which is the 4th highest single-day total (record is 24 on May 8, 1988). For south-central and southeast Wisconsin, the 8 tornadoes on June 23rd was tied for the 4th highest single-day total (record is 11 on May 8, 1988).

Brief Description: This tornado was a continuation of the tornado that moved through the southern part of the city of Markesan (Green Lake Co.). It entered Fond du Lac County just south of Lake Maria Road, about 4.7 miles SW of Alto. It moved east-southeast on a line toward Waupun at F3 strength (estimated 175-200 mph), and actually merged with the Lake Maria tornado that moved east out of extreme southeastern Green Lake County. The merger took place just east of a dogleg/bend of Oak Grove Rd., about 2.2 miles SSW of Alto. The civil Town of Alto reported that 19 residential homes had major damage and 1 was destroyed. One business had major damage. Fourteen farms were affected with a tally of 8 ag-buildings/homes with minor damage, 19 with major damage, and 16 destroyed. Crop damage was severe. Public sector damage (roads/bridges) was about $225K. In the city of Waupun (Fond du Lac side), 4 homes had major damage, and roughly 150 had minor roof/siding damage due to severe tree damage. Average path width was about 300 yards. Two rounds of severe weather affected parts of south-central and southeast Wisconsin on June 23rd, with the second round featuring 8 tornadoes, large hail (up to golf-ball size), and powerful straight-line downburst winds.

Brief Description: A violent tornado struck the village of Oakfield at about 1815CST after it touched down 4 miles WNW of the village. During its approach on Oakfield it intensified to a F3 rating. When it tore through the village it intensified to a F4, but along its path 1 to 4 miles east of the village it intensified to F5 strength (estimated 265 mph winds). In this span 4 homes were completely swept clean off their foundations and a couple automobiles became airborne missles for a distance of about 400 feet. The core width of the most intense damage was about 150 to 200 yards, although at times, some secondary damage was observed in a 400 yard wide path. Oakfield residents heard local sirens about 8 minutes before the torando entered the village. Miraculously, no one was killed, but there were 12 injuries. Some of the injured were hospitalized. Along the tornadoes path, 60 homes and 6 businesses were destroyed. An additional 130 homes and businesses were damaged. In Oakfield, a commercial canning company was devastated. Two churches in the village were also destroyed, as well as numerous vehicles. In the rural areas along the tornadoes path, 18 barns and many sheds were destroyed or damaged, and about 500 acres of crops were wiped out. Total damage amounts were $39.5 million in public/private property, and $900,000 in crop losses. Residents reported that they had difficulty "popping" their ears as the tornado roared through their neighborhood. Prior to entering Oakfield, the tornado hopped and skipped a few times, and multiple votices were observed at times during its life cycle. Witnesses reported that the tornado "paused" for a minute or so on the southeast edge of Oakfield. As the tornado tore through Oakfield it changed it's heading to east. Corn fields just east of Oakfield were reduced to short 1 to 4 inch high stubble, and burn marks were clearly visible in the fields. In the third segment of the tornadoes life, when it turned northeast at a point 5.5 miles east of Oakfield, it's strength diminished rapidly. By the time it "roped out" 1 mile NW of Eden, it's supporting mesocyclone's position on WSR-88D Doppler was about 5 miles to the south! Debris was found east to the Lake Michigan shoreline, and cancelled checks were later found 125 miles E/SE near Muskegon, MI!

Brief Description: This tornado was a continuation of the tornado that moved east from the Lake Maria area of extreme southeastern Green Lake County. It maintained its F3 strength (175-200 mph) and moved east along Marshview Rd, only to merge with the F3 tornado moving east/southeast out of the Markesan area of southeast Green Lake County. The merger took place just east of a dogleg/bend of Oak Grove Rd., about 2.2 miles SSW of Alto. The civil Town of Alto reported that 8 residential homes had major damage. Four farms were affected with a tally of 8 ag-buildings/homes with minor damage, 19 with major damage, and 16 destroyed. Crop damage was severe. Public sector damage (roads/bridges) was about $100K.

Brief Description: A strong tornado spun up about a mile directly east of Lake Maria in southeastern Green Lake County, or about 4.2 miles SSE of Markesan, moved east along Sunny Drive with F3 strength (estimated 175-200), and exited Green Lake County along Mielke Rd., or about 6.8 miles SE of Markesan. Numerous trees were uprooted. At least 8 homes or ag-buildings had minor damage, at least 5 homes or ag-buildings had major damage, and at least 5 homes or ag-buildings were destroyed. Near the intersection of Sunny Drive and Pleasant Drive, two people and most basement items were "sucked" out of their home's basement while the home was being destroyed. The husband was found dead and his wife was critically injured. Average path width was about 275 yards.

Brief Description: A strong tornado spun up near the intersection of STH 73 and CTH H, about 2 miles north of the village of Manchester. It increased its strength to F3 (estimated 175-200 mph) as it moved southeast across the southern part of the city of Markesan. Numerous trees were uprooted. At least 18 homes or ag-buildings had minor damage, at least 9 homes or ag-buildings had major damage, and at least 21 homes or ag-buildings were destroyed. This tornado exited Green Lake County at a point 6.4 miles southeast of Markesan, just south of Lake Maria Rd., and continued southeast through Fond du Lac County. The responsible supercell also spun up different tornadoes earlier in Adams and Marquette Counties. Newspaper headline: "A Day Like No Other." Average path width was about 350 yards. Two rounds of severe weather affected parts of south-central and southeast Wisconsin on June 23rd, with the second round featuring 8 tornadoes, large hail (up to golf-ball size), and powerful straight-line downburst winds. A warm front moving north through the area resulted in favorable vertical wind shear to allow for supercell development. The 1st round of severe weather was due to a broken line of intense thunderstorms moving across Walworth, Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties. Hail of up to 1 inch in diameter and torrential rainfall accompanied these storms before they moved over Lake Michigan and weakened. The 2nd round of severe weather was dominated by 2 cyclic supercells - one moved east/southeast through Marquette, Green Lake, Fond du Lac, and Washington Counties, spinning up 5 separate tornadoes, dumping hail stones up to 3 inches in diameter, and hurricane-force downburst winds. The large hail dented several vehicles. Two of these were rated F3. Refer to the individual tornado reports for more details. A more southerly supercell tracked across extreme southern Sauk County and then made a partial right turn and headed southeast through Dane County, spinning up 2 tornadoes in the process, as well as large hail and downburst winds. One powerful downburst wind in Madison (Dane Co.) blew equipment off the roof of a business at the Midvale Shopping Mall. A semi southwest of Ft. Atkinson was blown over by straight-line wind gusts. This southern supercell eventually spun up another tornado in south-central Jefferson County which moved into north-central Walworth County. Refer to the individual tornado reports for more details. Both supercells had downbursts that generated large hail and powerful, hurricane-force winds north and south of their tracks. Over all of Wisconsin, 16 tornadoes were documented on June 23rd, which is the 4th highest single-day total (record is 24 on May 8, 1988). For south-central and southeast Wisconsin, the 8 tornadoes on June 23rd was tied for the 4th highest single-day total (record is 11 on May 8, 1988).

Brief Description: EVENT NARRATIVE: This tornado was extremely wide since the thunderstorm cloud base was very low and the meso-cyclone that is usually aloft was well-formed all the way to the ground. Within a broad 1 to 2 mile wide area of EF0 to EF1 damage, there were several small swaths of EF2 damage due to multiple votices. The accompanying graphic shows this effect. With respect to residential homes this tornado resulted in very minor damage to 150, minor damage to 30, major damage to 10, and 2 were destroyed (total residential damage of $2 million). With respect to agricultural buildings ($500K in total damage), this tornado resulted in minor damage to 20, and major damage to 2 buildings (inlcuding silos). Tens of thousands of trees were uprooted or chewed-up, and many power-lines and power-poles were either toppled or damaged. About 4000 to 6000 trees on a tree farm were destroyed at a location about 3 miles east-southeast of Pardeeville. This tree-farm loss was treated as a crop loss. Additionally, some corn and soybean crops were damaged. This tornado started just southeast of the intersection of CTH P and Pardeeville Road, and moved southeastward for about 4 miles and then traveled east-southeast to end just northeast of the western intersection of STH 146 and CTH A. The specific starting point and ending point lat/long numbers were 43.53333/-89.26306 and 43.49556/-89.09878, respectively. Additional mid-point pairs of number include: 43.51603/-8922394, 43.50728/-89.20151, and 43.50208/-89.17679. DI#24 (ELT), DOD4. The wind speeds were estimated at about 120 mph. Average path length was about 1760 yards (1 mile). EPISODE NARRATIVE: A slow-moving surface boundary, nearly parallel with the mid-level flow affected southern Wisconsin during the period of June 7th through June 9th. A strengthening low-level jet and strong moisture advection produced several rounds of thunderstorms during the period in the vicinity of this boundary. The atmosphere was very moist with precipitable water values around 2 inches. Low to mid-level wind flow supported training of flood-producing thunderstorms. There was sufficient vertical wind shear to allow for supercell development that resulted in 10 tornadoes spinning up in south-central and southeast Wisconsin on June 7th. A weak cool front pushed through southern Wisconsin late on the 8th/early on the 9th, finally ending the heavy rainfall. During the evening of June 7th, several roads near STH 89 south of Columbus were washed out. STH 16 east of Columbus closed on June 8th due to high waters. A state-of-emergency was declared in Milwaukee County the evening of June 7th due to widespread flash flooding, and Milwaukee Mitchell Field was close for several hours due to high water levels.

Brief Description: EVENT NARRATIVE: An EF2 tornado developed about 1.9 miles west-southwest of the Village of Eagle, roughly 1/2 mile south-southeast of the intersection of STH 59 and CTH S, just west of a horse-riding ranch, and moved east-northeast through the Village and then moved due east before dissipating about 1.2 miles east-southeast of Jericho, just west of Beulah Road near the end of Valley Court Road. Fifteen people sustained minor injuries. One hundred thirty-four homes received minor damage, 67 homes had major damage, and 8 homes were destroyed, mainly in the southern part of the village. Another 75 homes were minimally affected. One business received major damage, while 18 businesses had minor damage. The business that received major damage was a commercial horse-riding ranch/western town at the beginning of the tornado path. Damage was inflicted upon all of the fencing, two trolleys, and 18 tables. One of the biggest buildings on the site was twisted and turned. A donkey was killed, four hayride wagons were lost, and 25 acres of trees were damaged. The owner of the riding ranch saw the tornado and said it looked like the Fourth of July fireworks finale - there were thousands of lightning streaks in the cone. All together, this tornado uprooted or damaged thousands of trees, and at least three dozen vehicles were damaged or totaled. At Old World Wisconsin, an outdoor museum operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society near Eagle, about 2500 tress were damaged at this site alone, and a few buildings sustained minor damage. Overall, Emergency Management officials estimated that residential damage reached $20,577,500, with business damage around $311,500, bringing total private sector damage to about $20,889,000. A few agricultural buildings were damaged, but loss estimates were not available. Public sector structural damage totaled only about $600, while public sector service costs (non-damage) such as debris clean-up, security and public protection, road protective measures, and other miscellaneous expenses were estimated at $101,965. The starting point location was Lat. 42.86785 Lon.-88.50307. The end point location was Lat.42.87100 Lon. -88.40003. The EF-rating was based on DI 2 (FR12) DOD 6 which suggests wind speeds between 125 to 130 mph. On the WSR-88D Doppler radar at the nearby WFO Milwaukee (MKX), a debris-ball appeared near Eagle within a classic hook echo as the parent thunderstorm moved east. EPISODE NARRATIVE: Strong to severe thunderstorms developed across much of south central and southeast Wisconsin during the evening of June 21, 2010. A vigorous upper level disturbance helped to support deep vertical motions in the atmosphere, along with strong deep layer wind shear. This lift acted on a warm and very moist atmosphere, carried into the region on a 40 to 50 knot low-level jet. The result was powerful rotating thunderstorms, with damaging straight line winds, large hail, and in this case, 5 tornadoes. At one point during the height of the event, around 48,000 customers in southeast Wisconsin were without electric power due to downed power lines. However, power-line and power-pole loss estimates were not available and do not show up as damage amounts in any individual event within this severe weather episode.

Brief Description: EVENT NARRATIVE: An EF2 tornado developed about 1 mile south of Big Bend, 1/8 mile west of of STH 164 between Henneberry Ave. and Kelsey Ave. The tornado partially uprooted trees, broke tree branches, caused corn crop damage and damaged a barn along a 1 mile path that averaged 70 yards in width. The tornado ended about 1.7 miles southeast of Big Bend, 1/3 mile east-northeast of the intersection of Crowbar Dr. and Parker Dr. The EF2 estimated wind speeds of 115 to 120 mph were based on DI 27(TH) DOD4. The exact start location is Lat 42.86466 and Lon -88.20040. The exact end location is Lat 42.86569 and Lon -88.18079. EPISODE NARRATIVE: A stalled frontal boundary combined with a moist and unstable atmosphere and strong wind shear to produce numerous tornadoes and funnel clouds over South Central and Southeast Wisconsin. A series of vorticity maxima moving west to east through the western Great Lakes enhanced isentropic lift, as a strengthening southerly low-level jet interacted with a nearly stationary west to east warm front.

Brief Description: A strong tornado (F2) struck Marytown, resulting in 1 fatility (81 year old male) and 1 injury. This tornado actually touched down in Calumet county about 1.1 miles SE of Jericho (see WFO GRB Stormdata report), and then headed southeast into into Fond du Lac county at a point 2.0 NW of Marytown. It destroyed or damaged at least a couple dozen barns, sheds, and homes on a southeastward path. Many large trees were uprooted. The north side of Marytown was hit the hardest, where a house trailer, 3 homes, and a machine shed were destroyed. The tornado exited Fond du Lac county at a point 2.5 miles SE of Marytown and re-entered Calumet county where it quickly dissapated. The path length in Fond du Lac county was 4.4 miles. M81PH

Brief Description: A strong and destructive tornado spun up at 1715CST about 2.8 miles southeast of the geographic center of Fitchburg (or 2.0 miles north of center of Oregon), about 400 yards southwest of the intersection of CTH MM and Schnieder Rd. It continued east-southeast to the southern edge of Lake Kegonsa and tore through residential neighborhoods about 1/3 to 1/2 mile north of CTH B (Civil Towns of Dunn and Pleasant Springs, and far-northern Stoughton). It moved over the crossing of CTH A with Interstate 90/39, and stayed close to CTH A to its exit point at 1905CST where CTH A crosses into Jefferson County, about 2.8 miles south-southwest of Rockdale. One person was crushed to death in their basement from fireplace and chimney bricks that crashed through the floor. Twenty-three (23) other people were directly injured. In addition, Emergency Management officials received reports of 2 other indirectly-related deaths associated with this strong tornado. In these two cases, the people were already very ill or suffering from a life-ending disease. Injuries they received during the tornado contributed (secondary) to their death, but were not the primary cause of death, based on medical examiner reports. Consequently, these additional two deaths do not appear in the official death tally in the header strip of this event. Numerous homes, businesses, farm buildings, vehicles, power-lines, trees, and other personal effects were either damaged or destroyed along its path that grew to a maximum width of about 600 yards north of Stoughton. As for residential structures, 220 sustained minor damage, 84 had major damage, and 69 were destroyed. As for business structures, 6 sustained minor damage, 1 had major damage, and 1 was destroyed. As for agricultural structures, 5 sustained minor damage, 5 had major damage, and 40 were destroyed. Total estimated damage amounts (directly-related) for private and public sectors combined was $35.06 M, broken down to $34.31 M in property damage and $750 K in crop losses, for the tornado segment in Dane County. This tornado was probably the 3rd most costly tornado in Wisconsin's recorded history (1996 Oakfield tornado and 1984 Barneveld tornadoes were more costly). The $34.31 M in property damage was broken down to private losses (total of 32.29 M) and public losses (total of $2.02 M), per Emergency Manager reports and NWS estimates. The private losses included a total of $25.45 M for residential structures, $1.29 M for businesses, $4.25 M for agricultural structures, $1.00 M for damage to vehicles, boats, and other personal effects, $200 K to agricultural machinery and tools, and $96 K in public road system damage. The public losses making up part of the $34.31 M consisted of $2.02 M in damage to public utility systems. The $750 K in damage attributed to crop losses occurred on an estimated 1,550 acres of land. Additional monetary costs incurred in the public sector (totaling $1.84 M) which are considered indirectly-related damage expenses, and not included in the "direct" totals listed in the header-strip of this event, include: $1.38 M in debris clearance, $308 K in protective measures, and miscellaneous damage/expenses of $144 K. Therefore, the grand total of direct and indirect damage amounts and expenses attributed to this tornado segment in Dane county totaled about $36.89 M. Just south of the tornado, extending out another mile or so, tree and power-line damage resulted from rear-flank downdraft damage - in some cases south to STH 51. This damage is separate from tornado damage, and isn't included in the numbers in previous sentences. Debris from this tornado was lofted by the parent's updraft and carried downstream to scattered locations in the counties of Jefferson, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Walworth, Racine, and Kenosha. This tornado was extensively photographed and video-taped by storm spotters (amateur radio operators, etc.), storm chasers, and private citizens. On occasions, this tornado displayed multiple-vortex characteristics. Due to partial back-building (to the west-southwest) of the supercell's updraft tower, this tornado moved slowly, and was described by some eyewitnesses and spotters as being nearly stationary at times north of Stoughton. The overall slow movement (supercell moved at 12-17 knots, or 10-15 mph), coupled with structures that were not thoroughly reinforced (based on NWS damage survey), allowed the tornado's cyclonic winds to more severely damage buildings in its path. Consequently, although some of the worst damage resembled what would be left by a F4 tornado for well-built homes, this tornado was rated at the top of the F3 category with estimated winds near 174 knots (200 mph). The F3 category has estimated wind speeds of 137-179 knots (158-206 mph). A sampling of newspaper headlines and personal quotes included: "The Sky Just Exploded," "Hard to Believe There Weren't More Deaths," "New Technology Lowers Tornado Deaths," "Counting Losses, Blessings," "It Was Probably The Most Intense Storm In The Country This Year," "It's a Mess Out Here," and "I've Never Experienced Anything Like This." The tornado cut electrical power for 1700 customers in the Stoughton area. The estimated average path length was about 175 yards. M54PH The largest single-day tornado outbreak in Wisconsin recorded history for south-central and southeast Wisconsin occurred on August 18, 2005. Sixteen tornadoes were documented on this day in south-central and southeast Wisconsin, a new single-day record. A line of supercells developed and pushed across south-central Wisconsin during the afternoon hours, and then pushed east across southeast Wisconsin during the evening hours. Most of the tornadoes were associated with two supercells. One main supercell tracked across Sauk County and then into Columbia, producing one F0 and one F2 tornado. The F2 tornado crossed into Columbia County. Another main supercell produced an F3 tornado that devastated the area north of city of Stoughton (Dane Co.), and a weaker F1 tornado just south of the city of Rockdale (Dane Co.). This supercell then tracked into southwestern Jefferson County a short time later, producing two F0 tornadoes and four F1 tornadoes. The sixteen (16) tornadoes contributed largely to both the new state record of 27 tornadoes on a single day, and 62 tornadoes for a calendar year. In additiion, there were scattered reports of funnel clouds, damaging straight-line, downburst winds, and large hail across south-central and southeast Wisconsin. The total direct damage estimate for the afternoon and evening tornado and severe weather outbreak in south-central and southeast Wisconsin on August 18th was about $36.6 M ($35.7 property and $948 K crop). Additional indirect costs totaled almost $1.9 M, resulting in a total direct and direct cost of about $38.5 M. Synoptically, a surface low pressure system was located over extreme southeast Minnesota early in the afternoon. A warm front extended east southeast from the low with dew points pooling in the lower 70s along it. The surface low moved east into east central Wisconsin by 2100CST that evening. Favorable wind shear associated with the warm front, combined with the strong instability supplied by the heat and humidity, helped to produce numerous tornadic supercells.

I'm pleased to share that my name has returned to the masthead of National Geographic Traveler magazine. While working as a photo editor for Traveler I spent seven years seeing my name in print. Now I've been named as one of the contributing photographers to the publication (alongside talented folks I consider inspirations) and you'll see my name listed again on the masthead beginning in the current August/September 2017 issue. I'm happy to be a part of the Nat Geo Travel family!
Last April I holed up in a house in Seattle and took a trip around the world.
Well, not literally, but through pictures. While photo editing my first book project for National Geographic, I re-visited favorite destinations like Cape Town and the Burgundy region of France, but then also fell for places that hadn't quite caught my eye before like the Azores Islands of Portugal, Mozambique's Quirimbas Archipelago, and San Sebastián in Spain.
I enjoyed switching gears from photo editing for magazines and delving into the book publishing world. I'm looking forward to working on the sister book to this title later this year. Special thanks for making the photo editing process easy and enjoyable goes to National Geographic's Moira Haney, Elisa Gibson, and Allyson Dickman.
I'm proud to say that the results are now in hard copy and, if I do say so myself, they look gorgeous. Pick up National Geographic's The World's Most Romantic Destinations in bookstores or online and start adding to your travel bucket list. I can promise you these tempting places aren't only for lovers.
I'm pleased to announce that I'll be speaking in New York City as part of OPTIC 2016, a photography event from June 5th-8th put on by the legendary B&H Photo Video and National Geographic/Lindblad Expeditions. This "Outdoor Photo/Video Travel Imaging Conference" can be attended for free in person or via livestreaming. Simply visit the website to register for either option.
On Sunday, June 5th, I'll be speaking for Fujifilm discussing my recent experience using the X Series mirrorless system while traveling in Asia this past winter. For those curious about making the switch from DSLRs to mirrorless, I'll be discussing my experience while sharing the resulting photographs and teaching why bigger isn't necessarily better when it comes to cameras. If you can't make it in person, read a recap on B&H's Explora blog here or watch the archived footage here.
Also on Sunday, I'll be on the main stage speaking about how to "Think Like an Editor." I will discuss how I believe that for travel photography, photo editing begins even before taking a picture. Today's photographers are their own photo editors, and not in the sense of using Instagram filters or Photoshop, but in the sense of selecting the best imagery to share with an audience, whether that is in a family album or professional portfolio. I will give tips on how to "improve your photographic odds" by preparing to take travel photographs through research and planning. I will discuss considerations for capturing the best images while in the field and give insight on the process of curating the best images once the images have been made. From my experience as a both a photographer on assignment and as a photo editor needing to convey an effective story, I will give practical insight into improving your photography and telling your own story.

Q: IIS6 Wildcard Mapping to ASP.NET - no file extension results in IIS 404 I'm trying to perform what I understand to be a relatively simple task. I'd like to remove the extensions from the URLs on my website. I have the proper set up in my application to handle and rewrite the URLs - the trouble is I can't get past IIS to actually get to my application without the extensions.
The details:
I'm running IIS6 on Windows Server 2003. I've gone into the web site for my application, gone to the home directory tab, clicked "Configuration" and added a wildcard map to the following file:
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll
Which I verified is the same as what is used above in the application extensions portion by .ascx, etc.
If I navigate to http://mywebsite.com/Blogs the result is as follows:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Length: 1635
Content-Type: text/html
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:04:49 GMT

Which seems to be a standard IIS 404 message. If I navigate to http://mywebsite.com/Blogs.aspx I get my ASP.NET app....
How can I troubleshoot this? I feel like I've double checked everything a dozen times but to no avail. I must be missing something obvious.
Update: Here are the exact instructions given by the asp.net url rewriter that I'm using:
IIS 6.0 - Windows 2003 Server

*

*open property page for website / virtual directory.

*click the 'home directory' tab

*click the 'configuration' button, select the 'mappings' tab

*click 'insert' next to the 'Wildcard application maps' section

*browse to the aspnet_isapi.dll (normally at c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll)

*Ensure that 'check that file exists' is unchecked

*Click OK, OK, OK to close and apply changes

Update 2:
I have yet to find a resolution for this. The application does not seem to be receiving the request from IIS, any further ideas?

A: The 404 is because ASP.NET is not finding a file called "Blogs".  It's just saying that all files should be processed (interpreted) by aspnet_isapi.dll
You will need to put something (a custom routing engine or a URL rewriter) in place that maps URL's to files.  Try Helicon's ISAPI Rewrite or Ionic's Isapi Rewrite.

A: When you configuring the IIS, there are two "check that files exists". there's one when you trying to Insert and that must remain unchecked (as your original instruction above suggests). and the second one is in the listing where all type of extensions are listed, you select .aspx and click Edit, there tick the check box. this will make it work. thanks.


Teachers have one of the toughest and most important jobs out there. They love, instruct, correct, encourage and counsel. It's a high calling that deserves all the gratitude we can offer. So how can you use your God-given gifts to serve and bless the teachers in your life?
Encourage teachers to enter Dave Ramsey's Teacher Appreciation Giveaway!
Teachers have one of the toughest and most important jobs out there.
Every day they herd gaggles of kids. They love, instruct, correct, encourage and counsel. They spend their own time and money transforming their classrooms into adventures of learning. And they help prepare these little people for the big world they're getting ready to enter. It's a high calling that deserves all the gratitude we can offer.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 4:10–11 NIV).
So how can you use your God-given gifts to serve and bless the teachers in your life? Here are six ideas.
God is the ultimate artist, and since He created us in His image, we often feel called to creativity too. If that's you, make something special for your child's teacher: a painting or drawing, a blanket or pillow, a knitted hat or scarf. Better yet, have your child pitch in to put a sweet touch on a personal gift their teacher will treasure for years to come.
Teachers spend an average of $513 of their own cash on classroom supplies and materials each year. That's crazy! If God has blessed you with a surplus of your own cash, consider using it to buy the things teachers keep in stock: paper, pencils, tissue boxes, crayons, glue and other items. Assemble them in a pretty basket. You can even include a few extras for the teacher: snacks, tea, and maybe some aromatherapy goodies for de-stressing. If you're not sure what to buy, include a gift card to your local teacher supply store or even a local spa or coffee shop.
Have you been told you have a way with words? Is your little one a budding author? Write a thoughtful thank-you note, or ask your child to pen a story or song just for their teacher. Use fancy stationary or pretty paper. It's simple, but these are the kinds of keepsakes teachers hold on to!
Garden imagery appears frequently in the Bible, and reaping a harvest out of the soil was the first task God assigned to humanity (Genesis 2:15). So it's no surprise that you might feel most connected to God when you're digging in the dirt. If your gift is a green thumb, cut some flowers from your garden and arrange them in a pretty vase to send with your child to school. Or if your garden is edible, harvest some fruits or veggies and place them in a decorative container. You might even include some recipes featuring the produce you're gifting. Talk about an upgrade from the standard red apple!
If friends have offered to pay you to bake and decorate fancy cakes for them, or if you could whip up a batch of cookies with your eyes closed, God may have made you a gifted baker. Use that gift to bless a teacher with some sweet treats. They'll be a welcome change from the store-bought stuff going stale in the teachers' lounge.
Okay, so God gave you gifts, but maybe you're still discovering what they are. If you don't know what to give the teachers in your life, how about the chance to relax on a dream vacation? Encourage them to enter Dave Ramsey's Teacher Appreciation Giveaway. The grand prize is a $5,000 vacation for two! What teacher wouldn't love that?
What gifts has God given you? Take your greatest talent and turn it into a way to say thank you to your child's teacher before the school year comes to a close.
Dave Ramsey's Teacher Appreciation Giveaway, sponsored by Churchill Mortgage, runs throughout the month of April. Teachers can enter for a chance to win a $10,000 teachers' lounge makeover, one of three $1,000 gift cards, a school assembly with Ramsey Personality Anthony ONeal or even a $5,000 vacation for two! Teachers can enter now through April 30, so share this giveaway with the teachers in your life today!


You may have heard your children talking about having a Growth Mindset. This is an approach to learning that we have recently introduced in school.
Growth Mindset is a research and evidence-based approach to helping children be confident, capable learners. Growth Mindset theory describes a key positive mental attitude and approach to learning and development.
A Growth Mindset is rooted in a belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. In other words, people with a Growth Mindset think intelligence is like a muscle that grows stronger with training. This positive mental attitude helps to foster both an interest in learning and a resilience against setbacks; both are essential for great achievement.
In contrast, a Fixed Mindset comes from a belief that intelligence and talent are fixed and that talent is more important than effort for achievement.
As part of our teaching about mindsets, we have launched Fearless Fridays, when the children and staff will be learning about the key concepts and developing their mindsets.


Skyrim all up in your face.
Sony wants you to immerse yourself in its virtual worlds, and outlined plenty of chances to do so in the coming year.
On the official PlayStation blog, Sony showed off over 60 games coming later this year and into 2018 like Sony's own Gran Turismo Sport.
Other notable games coming to PSVR include Supergiant's Bravo Team, Bethesda's Skyrim VR and Doom VFR.
Moss, first shown during E3 2017, is also coming to PSVR before the close of 2017. We had a chance to go hands-on with it, and it turned out Moss was one of the most pleasantly surprising games of E3. In Moss, you help a mouse named Quill on a quest to save her uncle.
In 2018, PSVR exclusive Golem is scheduled to release, as well Samurai Punk Pty's The American Dream, a "satirical VR trip through a 1950's World's Fair" where you use guns for every possible purpose "including flipping burgers on the grill and assembling them for customers."
Also coming in 2018, but buried in the blog post, is the virtual reality realization of Penn and Teller's famous Desert Bus as part of Penn & Teller VR: Frankly Unfair, Unkind, Unnecessary and Underhanded. If you're unfamiliar, Desert Bus requires you to drive a bus in real time from Tucson, AZ to Las Vegas, NV.
