No 'him' or 'her'; preschool fights gender bias STOCKHOLM (AP) — At the "Egalia" preschool, staff avoid using words like "him" or "her" and address the 33 kids as "friends" rather than girls and boys. From the color and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don't fall into gender stereotypes. "Society expects girls to be girlie, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing," says Jenny Johnsson, a 31-year-old teacher. "Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be." The taxpayer-funded preschool which opened last year in the liberal Sodermalm district of Stockholm for kids aged 1 to 6 is among the most radical examples of Sweden's efforts to engineer equality between the sexes from childhood onward. Breaking down gender roles is a core mission in the national curriculum for preschools, underpinned by the theory that even in highly egalitarian-minded Sweden, society gives boys an unfair edge.

Bill III's Blog » Have you ever printed a boarding pass? Well this little feat has been a long time coming. For those of you who have worked with me in Unalakleet you probably have heard about my aspiration of using the poster printer to print my boarding pass. Well two days ago my dream became a reality. I logged onto nwa.com and checked in for my flight. After my arrival at Anchorage I got my bags checked and headed to the TSA security screening area. The TSA agent asked for my I.D. and boarding pass. After a look of surprise he said “Is that your boarding pass?” The supervisor came over and they exchanged a few words. He came back to me and said “Okay… You are going to need to carry this through the metal detector with you.” and he let me on through with a smile. I made it through the metal detector, and didn’t even get an extra pat down or anything. “Thats an official boarding pass?” “yeah.. “Man.. how’d he get it so big?” “He must be an architect or something.” I finally got my backpack and headed over their way. I hope you enjoy the story.

The ants whose multi-coloured abdomens show exactly what they've been eating By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 15:00 GMT, 5 August 2011 The saying 'you are what you eat' is true for these insects as stunning pictures show their abdomens changing colour as they sip on sugar drops. Father of three Mohamed Babu set up the photographs after his wife, Shameem, showed him some ants had turned white after drinking spilt milk. He gave the creatures the brightly coloured sugar drops and watched as their transparent stomachs matched the food they were eating. A good palette: Some of the ants even wandered from one colour to another, creating new combinations in their stomachs Some of the ants even wandered from one colour to another, creating new combinations in their bodies. Scientist Dr Babu, mixed the sugar drops with edible colours red, green, blue and yellow and placed them in his garden to attract the insects. By placing them on a paraffin base the drops kept their shape when touched by the ants. 'I really toiled to get a photo.
One man, 100,000 toothpicks, and 35 years: An incredible kinetic sculpture... Thirty five years ago I had yet to be born, but artist Scott Weaver had already begun work on this insanely complex kinetic sculpture, Rolling through the Bay, that he continues to modify and expand even today. The elaborate sculpture is comprised of multiple “tours” that move pingpong balls through neighborhoods, historical locations, and iconic symbols of San Francisco, all recreated with a little glue, some toothpicks, and an incredible amount of ingenuity. He admits in the video that there are several toothpick sculptures even larger than his, but none has the unique kinetic components he’s constructed. Via his website Weaver estimates he’s spent over 3,000 hours on the project, and the toothpicks have been sourced from around the world: I have used different brands of toothpicks depending on what I am building. See the sculpture for yourself at the Tinkering Studio through the end of June.
Waking Up Full of Awesome There was a time when you were five years old, and you woke up full of awesome. You knew you were awesome. You loved yourself. You thought you were beautiful, even with missing teeth and messy hair and mismatched socks inside your grubby sneakers. You loved your body, and the things it could do. You thought you were strong. You knew you were smart. Do you still have it? The awesome. Did someone take it from you? Did you let them? Did you hand it over, because someone told you weren’t beautiful enough, thin enough, smart enough, good enough? Why the hell would you listen to them? Did you consider they might be full of shit? Wouldn’t that be nuts, to tell my little girl below that in another five or ten years she might hate herself because she doesn’t look like a starving and Photoshopped fashion model? Or even more bizarre, that she should be sexy over smart, beautiful over bold? Are you freaking kidding me? Look at her. You were, once. Amelia says Good Morning.
Trey Ratcliff - Google+ - Why I Don't Use Watermarks I get this question a lot, and… Ken Rathke – Trey and Thomas Hawk have many things in common - each has over 300,000 followers on Google Plus. Whether their profile or views in this conversation makes them your hero or leader is 100% your call. Both Rush Limbaugh and The Jersey Shore have large audiences, and popularity is not always the only indicator. What are rather humorous are the inconsistencies between Ratcliff and Hawk that neither really seems to fully resolve. Trey has moved on to other discussions with out ever really addressing some of the obvious inconsistencies in his philosophy/copyright policy, and Hawk is now taking a poll about the use of watermarks, logos, and signatures. (For an extra laugh, keep in mind this all started with Trey’s post accompanied by his photo from Times Square – an image that is filled with trademarked logos.) With respect to your © question – yes you own it at the point of capture. Think of it this way: 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.) 9.) 10.) 11.) 12.) 13.) 15.) 16.) 17.)
