Pam: Trish Corlew is a wife and mom to three teenage boys who began their homeschooling journey in 2009 as co-owner of hiphomeschoolmoms.com she provides a place online where homeschool moms can find community inspiration and encouragement. Over the past five years, Trish's found a passion for bringing learning to life and families together through homeschool road trips hosted by the Hip Homeschool Moms. She joins us on the podcast today to share about these HEART trips and enriching the homeschool through travel. Trish, welcome to the podcast.
Trish: Thank you Pam. Thank you so much for inviting me to be here. I appreciate it.
Pam: Well, we are so happy to have you. I heard about this concept when you and I first met back early this spring at one of the Great Homeschool Conventions and I thought this was just the neatest thing ever. This idea of kind of a travel service for homeschooling families and just hearing you talk about the trips and everything, it sounded like so much fun. So tell me a little bit about what made you start doing this. Why do you feel like travel is an important part of education?
Trish: Well, it's really funny. Wendy and I joke about it was not our idea. It was actually our community's idea. You know, we have this group of 30,000 plus homeschool moms and essentially they wanted to have in-real-life meetups. And so we started our very first one five years ago. We went to the coast of North Carolina, which is where I'm from. And so it was a little safe, you know, where I could go, where I knew people and knew places and felt like I could actually, bring something to the table instead of just showing up somewhere we didn't know. But, we didn't even know if they would show. We, you know, a lot of people talk about, "Oh yeah, that sounds like fun. We'll go!" And then they don't register and don't show up. They did! A hundred people came to our very first meetup and it was at Fort Caswell on the coast of North Carolina. And we actually had a different concept. They even have driven how we do it. Our concept was we went to a place that offered education and we thought the moms might hang out and do things together, you know, have sweet tea and sit on the porch and rock or whatever while the kids were learning. Yeah, that's not a us, right? Homeschool mom's don't do that. And so they were with their kids, we were with our kids. And so we quickly figured out that it didn't need to be a mom in real life meetup. It's really more about the families. And so we really evolved quickly to start focusing on the educational aspect, but also the community aspect. So we found that out really quick.
Pam: Okay. So,what happens now? You did your first one, a hundred people showed up and now what does it look like a few years later?
Trish: Well, it's really evolved in a couple of different directions. First, our very first one that we went to was at a fort where they essentially offered all of the educational aspects of it. And we showed up and they taught it, which we love. And we still do. We do Space Camp and things like that, every couple of years. So that's still that same format where you show up and they teach. But, now we go to different places. Like, we're going to New Mexico this year and New Mexico does not have a place where you just show up and somebody's teaching it. We literally have gotten a guide to go with us who will be teaching about why this is important, but we also are doing things like we're floating down the Rio Grande with a Pueblo Native American who is going to literally be teaching us about everything we're seeing and what that means to his culture. So we're stepping outside of the box and we're not just going to places that are already set up and canned. We're creating them now. We also now are ambassadors with GoRVing. We did our very first road trip this year where we invited RVers in. We didn't know how to do it, honestly, until this year. We didn't know how to invite them. We didn't know how to because typically we did hotels and catered food. Well how do you get the RVers involved in that. So this year we tried, we actually went to Jellystone and we went to Cave City in Kentucky and we stayed at a Jellystone, so the RVers were there, but we were staying in cabins. So that changed the dynamics completely. Not all of our trips are going to be like that. For instance, New Mexico, you would think they would have a ton of RV high end resorts. No they don't. It's all chalets and skiing. So we are not all at the same place in New Mexico, but we're within a mile of each other. But we just keep evolving and honestly, just like what we want for our children, we're learning every single time. We have become lifelong studiers and lifelong learners and we're trying to figure out what works best. And every single trip is different. So we morph to the trip.
Pam: Okay. That's so much fun. I just love the sound of these trips. I'm waiting for you guys to come back over to this side of the country 'cause New Mexico was a little far for us. But, you have to provide something for everybody everywhere to make it close enough for them to be able to get there and things like that. But I love the fact that you're listening to your community and you're doing what the families in your community want. And I also love the fact that you recognized fairly early on that when you're homeschooling, it's not just about your kids learning, it's about everybody in the family learning.
Trish: That's right. That's right. It really is. I'm actually having to change up our trips for next year. Our goal is to have three years planned out. And so we're working diligently on that this very second on what next year is going to look like. Even though we haven't gone to New Mexico yet, but it actually was looking like everything was going to be on the east coast. And I said, no, we can't do that. But interestingly enough, a lot of our people come from everywhere. We literally have people from Florida that are coming to New Mexico. We have people from Texas, we have people from New Hampshire. Literally they're all over the United States. We've had people, international people, come to our trips. We've had people from literally, like from Hawaii, we had a family fly in to space camp. So, everybody's different. It just depends on what they're excited about and what interests them and what they're studying that year or what they want to be studying that year and they just plug in where it makes sense. We have about eight families that have been on every single road trip with us. So we almost have, you know, we always say that there's a minimum of 10 families, so if you add Wendy and I in, there's 10. So we almost meet our minimum immediately because the same group of families goes. But it's typically about half and half. We have about half returning and half new. This trip, it's actually playing out where we have a little more new. Again, this is our first trip out west, so maybe that's why, because we're getting more from the west side of the country that we don't normally get, but we do have, we already have 16 families signed up for it and we just opened it up a month ago. So yeah, it's fun. It's a lot of fun.
Pam: Awesome. So Trish, as a homeschool mom, speaking to another homeschool mom, what do you think are some of the biggest benefits for homeschool families to travel like this together?
Trish: Well, it depends on what your goal is. I think for us, one of the things that happens in our family is we get in a rut. We get bored. You know, we're doing the same thing every single day. And honestly, it brings a new flavor just getting out, going, doing, helps us not get stale. But there's this whole other side that a lot of people haven't considered when you travel with your family. One of the things that we found is that if you give everybody a job and a role and you change them up, it actually helps y'all look at each other differently. I'll give you an example. My oldest son is our navigator. I absolutely hate driving on the interstate, not because I don't like the interstate, but because it's boring and I do not like boring. So we usually take the highway. Well, you know, every GPS on earth tries to get you on the interstate. So he is over there navigating with his phone, getting us to our destination, and literally, if we miss it, if we get to the wrong place or we get there late, it's all on his shoulders because he is navigating. I think that changes the dynamics when you're literally relying on your children to get you there. Right? So, it's powerful. It gives them a role in the family, it gives them a job and it gives them a place to be responsible. And so we've really enjoyed that aspect of it. But there's a thousand other things. I mean, think about all the things that moms do when we're getting ready to go on a road trip. Think about everything from who's going to pet sit, to who's watering the plants, to who's picking up the mail if it's outside. All those little aspects of it you can let your children do, but not only that, you can literally let them plan the trip. You can give them a budget. You can say you get us there. You can fly us there, we can drive, but let's take all these things into consideration. And they literally, you want to talk about geography study. They literally map it out on a map and they figure out how much it would cost to fly and then rent a car versus driving. You have to go into miles per gallon. Think about all the lessons that are going on there. That's math, that's geography, it's planning, it's project management. So, we love doing that. I actually turn that over to my kids on a regular basis to let them do it. So we encourage that. We think it's a blessing for families to try new things and you get on the road and of course, bringing history to life once you're at your destination, or science to life. Kids remember this. You engage all of these different senses and they remember it. And that's really the whole goal, right?
Pam: Okay. This is funny because I thought you were going to finish answering that question without ever actually saying anything about being at the destination. I mean, you had all these great things that happened even before you got to where you were going.
Trish: I know, but yeah, they do. I mean, obviously getting there is a big part of it. And one of the things that we have found, and you know this as a mom, the more you can get your kids involved, their different senses, the more different senses as you can get involved in their education, the better they're gonna remember it. We joke and say that emotions are memory glue. But seriously, if you can get them involved, think about this raft trip that we're going to do: we're floating down the Rio Grande, we're listening to a Native American guide, we're smelling the smells, we're seeing the sites, we're touching the water. We literally get off of the float and we sit down and have a Native American feast that his family has cooked for us. And then we have Native Americans coming in. It's actually coincidentally a full moon that night. I don't believe in coincidence. I believe that was a God incidence. But anyway, it's a Hunter moon. And so they're literally going to do a dance that's about the Hunter Moon. So how many senses can we get involved in that? We have taste, we have sight, we have smell, we have touch. Think about it. So we are so excited. That's how kids remember things is you get to them involved at that level.
Pam: Okay. And I'm totally stealing that quote that emotions are memory glue. It really is, I mean this will be something that they absolutely never forget.
Trish: So we're making memories, right? We're literally making memories. So it's family memories, but it's also education. And if, especially if you're Charlotte Mason or unschooler or you are very involved in the nature side of it, that's always a big part of our trips. So that's one thing that we encourage. Get out and get involved.
Pam: Yeah. Okay. So let's talk about when you start planning these road trips because Trish plans her road trips, but families who are thinking about doing some educational travel just on their own can use some of these tips from Trish as well. So when you start planning these educational road trips, how do you choose what to do? What's like, your jumping off point or your inspiration?
Trish: Well, it depends. Some of it is, like you said, we were talking earlier about our community. So a lot of times it's the community and I look for a trend where seven people or eight people want to go to this one place. But, for us, if it was just me going and traveling, I would be looking at what my kids are learning next year or what they just learned this past year to help concrete cement that into their memory. So I would look, I would start with things that they are either inspired about. You can do local, I mean, if they're interested in ballet, obviously you can try and get a behind the scenes look at the next ballet that's coming to town. And a lot of times they'll do that. They do dress rehearsals and they do things like that where they want you to come in, they want people there to watch it. And you can get a real inspiration, get behind the scenes look at what's happening, and those are local. Those aren't usually very expensive and sometimes they're free depending on the community and what they're trying to do. So you can do local trips, you can do long trips. But I always try to keep in mind if it were just my family that what we're learning or what they're inspired by. One of the things that we did when we left Niagara Falls, I have one child that loves architecture. And so we just started looking for Frank Lloyd Wright homes on the way home. And literally, we went out of our way a little bit. We went through Pennsylvania to come home, but we went to Falling Waters because it was just something that he's interested in and we wanted to go see it. So we look for things that might spark their curiosity and might be a leaping off point for a career. Who knows? Right? I've got high schoolers, so I'm always looking for opportunities to inspire them.
Pam: Yeah, that's awesome. And how about that? I mean, traveling with high schoolers. They're never too cool to go on a trip with mom, are they?
Trish: Right. It's interesting because you know, I even have a college kid. My oldest now is leaving for college this fall and I didn't plan this no matter what anybody says, I did not plan it this way. It just literally happened this way. We were looking at his fall break and it's literally at the same time as our New Mexico trip. I think he's even going to come to New Mexico as a first year college student.
Pam: Okay. So that just speaks to how much, I mean, we talk a lot about Morning Time and how it's a way to build kind of family culture and family memories. And it sounds like these trips do a lot of that as well.
Trish: They do. They really do. And honestly it does bring you closer. I love to drive for this very reason. We spend a lot of time talking, we spend a lot of time laughing, we cut up, we play games, we talk and those probably are just as important as the places we're going, are those trips getting there. So I'm a big believer in the journey, not the destination. You heard that earlier. Yes, I did speak about the destination, but I'm very journey-oriented. I think the journey is just as important.
Pam: Awesome. So tell me, looking back on all the trips that you've done with Hip Homeschool Moms and your community, can you pinpoint one memory from those trips that is just like one of your absolute favorite, something that happened, some interaction you had with a family?
Trish: Gosh, that's so hard because there's so many. Well, on the very first trip, one of the things that, again, we were not sure what was going to happen because it was our first trip, was the moms got out there and started kayaking with their kids. First Time. None of them had been in a kayak. They didn't know anything about it. And they were being taught just like we will want, you know, lifelong learners. We're being taught how to Kayak. One of the other things I saw just happened at Kentucky where mom's overcoming a desire not to be dirty. We went on a cave crawl. We did the Mike Rowe 'Dirty Jobs' cave crawl at Hidden River Cave. And these moms got over themselves. Not me, by the way. I did not go in. I'm just going to keep it real. Right?
Pam: I'm thinking my claustrophobia would not let me go in.
Trish: Well I did. I went into all the caves. I just did not do this one. And honestly I didn't do this one because one of the moms wasn't going in and I didn't want her to be the only one not going in. So, I sat out with her, but we went antique shopping just across the street. So there you go. But, I saw a lot of moms getting in that cave and doing that cave crawl for three hours with their children and they came out muddy and dirty and nasty. But the biggest smiles on their faces. Something else we do on our trips, we always have an adventure side. Believe it or not, that was not the adventure side on this trip. And we actually had rappelling and ziplining on this trip, on the Cave City trip. And we saw moms overcoming their fears and getting out there and doing that. But it's also the kids. And I think it's really interesting to watch the family dynamics when mom is having to overcome it. My kids watch me do that at Niagara Falls. I am not a zipliner. I'm the girl that likes to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground and I'm the one that everybody runs to when they get home, when they get off. They come running to see me and tell me about it. But, I did. I went ziplining in Niagara Falls over the Erie Canal and my kids were so proud of me for getting out there and overcoming my own fear and doing it. So a lot of stuff happens on these trips that are memories that are some of my favorites. One of the ones that we're going to do in New Mexico is we're going balloon riding. So really excited about that. I've already done a balloon. I went up in a balloon when Wendy and I were doing the research for this trip, we went up and Wendy, who is the daredevil, was the one that was scared. I wasn't. Isn't that wild?
Pam: That is kinda wild.
Trish: I know. So, it was interesting that we changed roles 'cause usually her daughter's with me, feet firmly planted on the ground and all of my boys are with Wendy doing whatever crazy idea she's come up with for this trip. So, yeah, it was sort of different. But yeah, I dunno, there's so many memories. My favorite was probably me going over the Erie Canal, I think.
Pam: That does sound really cool. And it's funny because now I hear you mentioning, you were talking earlier about seeing your kids in a new role and that being so good for them, and now you're talking about your kids seeing you in a new role and that also being good for them. So it's lovely how it works both ways. Okay. You mentioned something else in there that I really want to talk about. Getting back to your trips specifically. These are very meticulously researched. You work hard on these. So tell us a little bit about how I can be sure if my family is going on one of these trips that I know it's going to be a success.
Trish: Well, we did not do that in the very beginning. We actually went on our first three years of trips without going, and Niagara Falls was the one that really sent it home for us that we had to go because one of our families is in a wheelchair. The mom regularly is able to get up and go. She actually was doing cave crawls with us in cave city. She's one that travels with us every single time. But there are times when she can't, when her body just will not cooperate and she is in a wheelchair. She didn't get to do one of the rides with us in Niagara Falls. And we felt horrible obviously for her not being able to participate. So we decided then and there that we needed to know everything that we could possibly know to ensure that we could tell you. We're not saying that there are not going to be things that you can't do or that you wouldn't want to do. We're just saying that we're going to do our best to tell you all the ins and outs, how far things are, if you're in a wheelchair, if you're capable or incapable. And we have a lot of special needs families that travel with us. So, we try our best to know the things that we need to know for it to be successful for the families.
Pam: Right. So you're putting in a lot of time in advance to make sure that you're going to have the most information possible to give to somebody who's making this investment.
Trish: We sure try to. You can go read our reviews on a Homeschool Road Trips, which is actually the official name of it. It's Homeschool Road Trips on Facebook and you can read the reviews. They really give us kudos for the amount of research we do and how much success we've had. When you're spending this amount of money, because it is essentially your family vacation that year, there's lots of opportunity for unhappy families and we have been so blessed. We really have had nothing but positive things. Not saying that we haven't had hiccups, but when we do have hiccups we try to correct them.
Pam: Yeah. So how many dads do you have come on your trip, Trish?
Trish: Well, you know, it's funny. We used to call them Hip Homeschool Moms Road Trips. And at Space Camp, they were very adamant about kids under seven cannot be on site. And that includes nursing babies, which meant a lot of moms couldn't go. So this was our very first trip, the first trip to Space Camp, where we had a lot of dads on our trip without moms. So that was the trip that we changed the name because we didn't think it was cool the dads were saying they were traveling with Hip Homeschool Moms and yet their wives weren't there. We joke about we're not that hip, thank you. So, we literally, had to change the name because of that. But we do have a lot of dads that travel with us. Some are traveling without their wives, some are traveling with their wives. We have a lot of moms that come without dads. We have grandparents. We have one set of grandparents that had been with us on every road trip. So it's a little bit of everything. You just don't know what it will be next. We've even had grown aunts and uncles join their nieces and nephews on our road trips because they were so excited about the trip. So, there you go, it's a little bit of everything. It's definitely a family affair, but you leave it not just being a family affair, it leaves everybody's a community. And so it's amazing. We do not plan it, we could not plan it if our life depended on it, where every 10 year old has a partner close to the same age and gender. We couldn't plan it that way if our life depended on it. But somehow or another, it always manages to work out that way where everybody walks away feeling like they've made a lifelong friend.
Pam: That's awesome. And you know, I know from taking my kids to conventions and things like that, they really do, they meet up with somebody there and then they're asking to email them or text them or facetime or something. Yeah. And just making friends all over the country. So I mean, these kids really do want the opportunity to connect with other homeschool kids. You know, I don't know what the appeal is to having these friends who are not in your area, but they always do. They always want to connect with these kids.
Trish: They love it. And honestly, we look at it as pen pals and you know, relationships. Because once you, when you do go to that area, if you ever go back for some reason to their neck of the woods, you already have a relationship there. And we have families, we had one family, they just literally left Cave City and we see they're posting pictures in our group of them down in Texas. And neither one of them even live in Texas. They met up in Texas at a Lego event down there. So there you go.
Pam: Oh, how fun. So not only is it making families stronger, but you know, bonds between different families stronger.
Trish: That's right.
Pam: That is a lot of fun. So if I were interested in taking one of these homeschool road trips, maybe the one in New Mexico or one of the ones for next year, what do I need to do?
Trish: Well, first it's on our website. It's on hiphomeschoolmoms.com we have a travel tab at the top so they can go to the travel section of our website. They can see some of our other trips we've taken or the current, HEART Trips and HEART actually stands for Homeschool Enrichment Adventure Road Trips. So we have the enrichment side for the homeschool, but we also have the adventure. And so we just shorten and call them HEART Trips. But we do have all of the HEART trips listed out there on our travel section of our hiphomeschoolmoms.com website, or you can go to our community. We have a Facebook community, Homeschool Road Trips. You can find it there or you can just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Pam: Okay. So let's talk just a little bit of logistics about this. So it sounds like most of the time a nursing baby is okay to bring.
Trish: Oh yeah. Ninety-nine percent of the time. As a matter of fact, after the trip to Space Camp, we will still return to space camp, but after that trip to Space Camp, all of the rest of our trips, we have really focused on having it where it's available for all ages. We don't like to disrupt families. We want them to be able to travel together. So yeah, we, we learned a lesson on that one. But yeah, even all the way down to nursing babies, this float that we're doing in New Mexico literally is rated for an infant or a senior.
Pam: Okay, perfect. So even though there is an adventure side, there's always a wide variety of something on the trip for everyone. So I don't have to feel scared about traveling with my toddler or something like that.
Trish: No. As a matter of fact, there's so many moms there, you'll actually have trouble keeping us from helping you because, we do. We know there's so many of us and we get it, you know? We've been there, we've done that. So regularly, you have a dad picking up a stroller helping somebody go down the steps or whatever it is that's happening we're all there for each other. And I think that's part of the luxury of when you travel as a community, as a group. We do watch out for each other. So as a way to explore but be safe but also have friends along. So, we try our best logistically to help everybody and we do have families that travel with the mom is traveling with their children alone regularly. So we are very cognizant of that and we try our best to help.
Pam: Oh that's awesome. So all ages and then a little bit of something for everyone. You're trying to get that in. So if you are interested in looking at some of these trips, they sound like so much fun. It's wonderful. I know it's wonderful to get to spend time with Trish and Wendy from the homeschool convention. So, I know that being on a trip with them would be awesome as well. So do go check out hiphomeschoolmoms.com and the travel tab there has all the information about the HEART trips. Well, Trish, thank you so much for coming on to talk to me today about your trips and trips in general for homeschooling families and why it's important for families to get out and do a little bit of traveling together.

Canada Sheds 71,000 Jobs in November
Canada lost 71,000 jobs in November, pushing its unemployment rate up to 5.9 percent -- its highest level in more than a year, according to government data released Friday.
The losses were reported across Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia, mostly in manufacturing, natural resources and public administration, and affecting men in the core working ages of 25 to 54 and women over 55, Statistics Canada said.
Compared with a year earlier employment was still up, with 293,000 mostly full-time jobs added over the period, the agency said.
CIBC analyst Royce Mendes said, however, the November labor market pullback was "more than a breather," describing the losses as "an apparent massive decline in employment."
Canada's unemployment rate last hit this level in the fall of 2018.
Most recent indicators have heralded a slowing of the economy as the end of 2019 approaches.
The Bank of Canada on Wednesday signaled cautious optimism that global growth -- crucial for Canada's large export sectors -- is set to rebound and recession fears are "waning."
But Mendes said the weak job numbers "could have the Bank of Canada rethinking its on-hold (interest rate) stance if it were to continue."
Sheds are a major industry in Canada. The world-famous Bombardier jet airliner factory is housed in a series of one hundred and two make-shift sheds in a field outside Maskataskaton, Alberta. In Ottawa, the federal capital, parliament meets in a vast shed measuring some six hundred square feet. PM Trudeau's Minister of Sheds, Armande de Smith, recently resigned after a Toronto Star investigation revealed he did not live in a shed himself.

Does anyone know of a plugin, or a method, used to set the per-file size limit on individual blogs?
I run a Multi-Site install, and I want to limit most of my users' file sizes to under 1MB – I have way too many users who don't properly format images, and upload 8MB files. On the other hand, I have groups of users who need to upload larger file sizes (audio and/or video), and they understand web formatting, etc.
I would like to be able to, by default, set the per-file limit to 1MB and also be able to change the limit for some blogs that require larger file uploads.
Any suggestions? I've been searching a bit, and haven't found anything useful yet…

Was Frederick Douglass a Libertarian?
Nicholas Buccola—one of the nation's leading scholars of Frederick Douglass—has a piece in the New York Times blog "The Stone" in which he challenges my classification of Frederick Douglass as a libertarian. Now, as I argued on Ricochet recently, there's a point at which any such effort at classification is rather silly: it's more important to understand the substance of what Douglass stood for than to label it. Also, any effort to classify the man as "libertarian" or "conservative" or "progressive" or whatever will depend on us defining these terms—and such definitions are complex and contentious. Another complication is the fact that there are disagreements within these groups. Randy Barnett for example, pointed out in 2007 that libertarians don't always agree on the practical application even of the principles that they share, even on major controversies. And then there's the fact that many of those who call themselves libertarians actually aren't.
On the other hand, the beginning of wisdom is calling things by their right names. And classifying—well, it's just what scholars do. So how should we label Douglass?
City of Baltimore Will Bus Students To Anti‐Gun Protest
At a cost of $100,000, the city of Baltimore plans to provide 60 free buses to take students from its schools to planned anti‐gun demonstrations in Washington, D.C. later this month.
Many things could be said against this decision. For instance, it openly breaks with the notional political neutrality of public schools so as to side with some parents' beliefs against others'. It takes money away from a Baltimore City school system that, though lavishly funded, struggles with unmet basic needs "from malfunctioning furnaces to undrinkable water." It siphons classroom time from students in desperately underperforming schools.
But there is one more thing to say against it as well: a protest outing that is ardently enabled or even meticulously organized by the authority figures in your life can be like the ninth‐grade English course that ruins Macbeth or Moby Dick for you. Writes Lynda C. Lambert in the Baltimore Sun:
Marches are normally "bottom up." They are formed by people who are not government, usually to protest something that government is doing [or not doing].
Governments do not sponsor marches, unless that government is, say, the government of China or Russia or North Korea, where governments sponsor marches all the time that show how much the people support their governments……
Part of protesting is finding your own way, for your own reasons.
Baltimore government sponsorship of this ride to D.C. demeans our kids and demeans the point of the march. And, even more than that, it demeans the concept that a march is an uprising, a beginning, a statement made by we the people to our government.
Also, on institutional encouragement of the protests, I had a piece in the WSJ last week on the Yale admissions office's contribution.
As for the separate question of whether compulsory attendance and truancy laws should be enforced against students for skipping school in a favored cause, I'll see and raise: don't enforce those laws against anyone period.
Government Botching Air Traffic Control Upgrade
Our air traffic control (ATC) system is run by the federal government and subject to all the usual bureaucratic failures such as cost overruns, lack of innovation, a stagnant workforce, unstable finances, and ineffective leadership.
The solution to these problems is to privatize the system, as the Canadians have done with their system to great success. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would continue to oversee aviation safety, but ATC operations would be moved into a private, nonprofit, self‐funded company.
A recent Washington Post headline was "FAA botched $36 billion effort to modernize air traffic system, report says." They point to a new report by federal auditors, which is the latest of many similar reports going back decades.
When will Congress finally say "enough" and pursue an overhaul?
Here are highlights from the WaPo:
The Federal Aviation Administration has mishandled a $36 billion project to modernize the antiquated aviation management system, according to a harshly critical inspector general's report released Thursday.
It was the fourth inspector general's critique in as many years of a program known as NextGen, on which more than $7 billion in federal funds has already been spent.
… The report said the FAA "has lacked effective management controls" in awarding contracts, sometimes spent money on low‐priority projects and allocated an estimated $370 million for projects that were still awaiting approval.
… NextGen has long been a cause of consternation and frustration in Congress and with commercial airlines that are expected to invest billions of dollars in their own cash to complete the system.
NextGen is often described as a GPS‐based system, but it is a vastly more complex network of interlocking systems that will change cockpit communications, guide airplanes both aloft and on the ground, and allow airlines to fly directly to their destinations rather than turning after reaching each designated way point.
… Together they will allow planes to safely fly closer to one another, save fuel and time, get immediate weather updates, and communicate more effectively with other airplanes and with air traffic controllers.
… But the cost of equipping each plane to handle the new systems has been estimated at $200,000. Airlines say they need reassurance that if they invest, the NextGen program will be delivered on schedule.
That led House Republicans, later with the support of President Trump, to propose that the NextGen program and more than 30,000 FAA workers be spun off into an independent, nonprofit corporation.
… There have been 13 confirmed or acting heads of the FAA since the precursor of NextGen was proposed as the Advanced Automation System in 1983.
… "FAA does not have today, and has not had since its inception, anything that would approximate a real plan for achieving a lot of the things it has advertised for the NextGen program," said an FAA employee familiar with the program, who asked to remain anonymous to speak candidly. "I think the sentiment out there is that NextGen has been a big dud, and it's hard to disagree with that sentiment if you look at what's actually been produced."

California High‐Speed Rail Cost May Triple
The Los Angeles Times reports on the latest setbacks to California's high‐speed passenger rail project. The project is far over budget and way behind schedule. Is anyone surprised?
Randal O'Toole describes the plague of cost overruns in government rail systems here, and he explains why high‐speed passenger rail makes little sense here. I discuss the epidemic of cost overruns on government infrastructure projects here.
The LAT says:
The price of the California bullet train project jumped sharply Friday when the state rail authority announced that the cost of connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco would be $77.3 billion and could rise as high as $98.1 billion — an uptick of at least $13 billion from estimates two years ago.
The rail authority also said the earliest trains could operate on a partial system between San Francisco and Bakersfield would be 2029 — four years later than the previous projection. The full system would not begin operating until 2033.
… The new estimates will force California's leadership to double down on its political and financial commitments if it wants to see the system completed, against a backdrop of rising costs, years of delays, strident litigation and backlashes in communities where homes, businesses, farms and environmental preserves will have to give up land to the rail's right‐of‐way.
… The new business plan is based on a wide range of uncertainties, Kelly said. Among the most challenging is the cost of about 36 miles of tunnels through mountainous Southern California, which could range anywhere from $26 billion to $45 billion, according to the report.
… A spokesman for Gov. Jerry Brown, who since the 1980s has championed high‐speed rail, said the disclosures do not change the strong support he expressed in his recent State of the State address, when he said: "I make no bones about it. I like trains and I like high‐speed trains even better."
… The disclosure about the higher costs comes nearly a decade after voters approved a $9‐billion bond to build a bullet train system. The original idea was that the federal government would pay about a third of what was then an estimated $33‐billion project, with private investors covering another third.
When project supporters are admitting that the cost "could be as high as" $98 billion, it obviously will be at least that high in the end. That would be triple the original promised cost, and ten times the amount that voters directly approved.
But Jerry likes trains, so full steam ahead!
The Case for Government Control of Internet Speech Grows Weaker: Filter Bubble Edition
Cass Sunstein has been for some time a capable and influential critic of individual choice and limited government. Over the past decade, he has argued that the Internet is failing liberal democracy. Left to their own preferences, he says, individuals choose to avoid political views that challenge their prior beliefs. They form filter bubbles that exclude contrary views and echo chambers that polarize debates. Both complicate solving national problems.
These alleged filter bubbles and echo chambers comprise expressing and hearing (or reading) speech, both highly protected activities in the United States (or in any polity deserving the name liberal). The harms of filter bubbles and echo chambers should be much more than alleged to justify government actions to "improve" our debates.
Sunstein's claims about filter bubbles and echo chambers have a certain appeal. We can imagine people choosing to avoid unpleasant people and views. As communications researcher Cristian Vaccari notes:
social media users can make choices as to which sources they follow and engage with. Whether people use these choice affordances solely to flock to content reinforcing their political preferences and prejudices, filtering out or avoiding content that espouses other viewpoints, is, however, an empirical question—not a destiny inscribed in the way social media and their algorithms function.Read the rest of this post »
Leland Yeager on Trump and Trade
Cato adjunct scholar Leland B. Yeager had a long career at the University of Virginia Department of Economics in its golden age and later at Auburn University. He is the author of Foreign Trade and U.S. Policy: The Case for Free International Trade (1976), International Monetary Relations: Theory, History and Policy (1976), and Free Trade: America's Opportunity (1954). At 93 he is still as insightful and as blunt as ever, and he just published this critique of President Trump's understanding of trade policy at Liberty magazine under the title "Profound and Destructive." The whole thing is reprinted below.
President Trump's destructiveness requires few words here. Consider how world stock and currency markets have been shaken by the resignation on March 6 of Gary Cohn, regarded until then as Trump's chief economic adviser. Although not a trained economist, Cohn apparently had some sound instincts derived from years of financial experience. His departure apparently and ominously leaves more influence, or echo, to Peter Navarro — look him up with Google.
This latest example of destructiveness follows the one touched off by Trump's March 2 tweet bewailing America's loss of "many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with" and heralding trade wars as "good, and easy to win."
I'll spend more words on how profound Trump's ignorance is. He considers a country's excess of imports over exports a measure of loss. This measure applies even to trade with each foreign country separately. He counts China and Mexico among the worst offenders, deserving punishment. He does not understand the multilateral aspect of beneficial trade.
Nor does he understand how we gain in buying goods cheap from abroad. What difference does it make if steel and aluminum are cheap because of low foreign prices or because they grow cheaply on bushes at home? Money cost is a measure of opportunity cost, which means the loss of other goods when resources go instead to make the particular good in question. Opportunity cost reflects scarcity. Scarcity applies even to prosperous America, where we could enjoy still higher standards of living if food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, and other goods and services came costlessly and miraculously from heaven. Scarcity and how gains from domestic and foreign trade alleviate it are fundamentals of economics. The principle of comparative advantage goes far in explaining how.
Without understanding the academic presentation of the "absorption approach to the balance of payments," everyone should be able to grasp its central idea, which is sheer arithmetic. If we as a country use more output for consumption and real investment than we produce, then the difference must come from somewhere — from abroad in the form of more imports than exports. A big item in this excess absorption, alias national undersaving, is government deficits. Yet Trump and Congress are complacent about increasing the deficit and debt by taxing less and spending more.
All too many politicians say that they are in favor of free trade if it is "fair trade" played on a "level playing field." These slogans express Trump's view of international trade as a game, a zero‐sum game in which one player's gain is another's loss.
Trump does not understand how the price system coordinates economic activity, making most government planning about jobs and industries unnecessary and harmful.
The profundity of Trump's ignorance goes beyond economics. It extends to diplomacy in domestic and foreign relations and even to the behavior of a decent human being. Yet his destructive economic ignorance remains prominent.
Inflation Is Largely a Global Phenomenon
When economic journalists speculate about looming inflation risks in the U.S. or any other country, they implicitly assume that each country's inflation depends on that country's fiscal or monetary policies, and perhaps the unemployment rate. Yet The Economist for March 3rd–9th shows approximately 1–2 percent inflation in the consumer prices index (CPI) for virtually all major economies.
Inflation rates were surprisingly similar regardless of whether countries had budget deficits larger than ours (Japan and China) or big surpluses (Norway and Hong Kong), regardless of whether central banks experimented with "quantitative easing" or not, and regardless of whether a country's unemployment rate was 16.9 percent (Spain) or 1.3 percent (Thailand).
The latest year-to-year rise in the CPI was below 1 percent in Japan and Switzerland, 1.5 percent in Hong Kong and the Euro area, 1.6 percent in Canada and China, 1.8 percent in Sweden, 1.9 percent in Norway and Australia, 2 percent in South Koreas and 2.1 percent in the U.S. Among major countries, U.K. was on high side with inflation of 2.7 percent. Three economies with super-fast economic growth above 6 percent (India, Malaysia and the Philippines) do have slightly higher inflation—above 3 percent—but the CPI is up just 1.6 percent in one of them, namely China.
The remarkable similarity of CPI inflation rates is surprising since countries measure inflation differently and consume different mixes of goods and services. The fact that inflation rates are nonetheless so similar, and move up and down together, suggests that inflation is largely a global phenomenon. The U.S. may well have a disproportionate influence on global inflation, since it accounts for about 24 percent of global GDP and key commodities are priced in U.S. dollars. Yet U.S. inflation nonetheless goes up and down in synch with other major economies, as the graph shows.Read the rest of this post »

filecache_max(5) filecache_max(5) NAME filecache_max, filecache_min - maximum or minimum amount of physical memory used for caching file I/O data VALUES Failsafe Default The defaults are computed and adjusted automatically, based on the amount physical memory on the system. The current default value, when displayed by will be expressed as the current value used internally by the system (representing bytes). The displayed value will vary as the internal value is automatically adjusted. Allowed values not less than the equivalent of 1 megabyte not less than the equivalent of 1 megabyte not greater than the equivalent of 70% of physical memory not greater than the equivalent of 90% of physical memory See below. Values can be specified as: 1) Default 2) A percentage of total physical memory: A positive whole number followed by a percent symbol (for example, 70%). 3) A constant value: A positive whole number that represents number of bytes of physical memory, optionally followed by a multiplier suffix, where and Recommended values It is recommended that these tunables are left in the automatic (default) state, to allow the system to better balance the memory usage among filesystem I/O-intensive processes and other types of processes. DESCRIPTION These tunables control the amount of physical memory that can be used for caching file data during file system I/O operations. The amount of physical memory that is specified by the tunable is reserved and guaranteed to be available for file caching. The amount of physical memory used for file caching can grow beyond up to depending on I/O load and competing requests for physical memory. When these tunables are set to default, or set to a percent value, they automatically adjust with Online Addition or Deletion (OL*) of physical memory, as appropriate. Who Is Expected to Change These Tunables? The automatic (default) state should be appropriate for most environ‐ ments. You must set these tunables to a constant value (not default or per‐ cent) if you want to specify file cache limits with finer granularity than percent of physical memory (for example, a minimum size or fixed size of <1% of physical memory). You must set these tunables to a constant value (not default or per‐ cent) if you do not want the limits of the file cache to adjust with OL* of physical memory. To discriminate in favor of deterministic I/O on systems with large file I/O activity, or on the contrary, to discriminate in favor of bet‐ ter performance of non-I/O-intensive processes, you can consider chang‐ ing the values of these tunables, keeping in mind the side effects as described below. To determine a reasonable value for the cache size you should consider the file I/O-intensive applications on your system, and the size of their working set. Depending on the type of applications, the working set size can be based on the size of a transaction, or data size in given unit of time. For example, for a conservative value of in megabytes, you can use the following formula: number-of-records-in-working-set Only those processes that actively use disk I/O for file data should be included in the calculation. All others can be excluded. Here are some examples of what processes should be included in or excluded from the calculation. Include: NFS daemons, text formatters, database management applications, text editors, compilers, and so on, that access or use source and/or output files stored in one or more file systems mounted on the system. Exclude: X-display applications, login shells, system daemons, or connec‐ tions, and so on. These processes use very little, if any, disk I/O for file data. Restrictions on Changing These tunables are dynamic and automatic. The system rounds the specified tunable value(s) down to the closest physical page boundary. The amount of physical memory represented by must be equal to or less than the memory represented by tunable Setting these tunables to a constant value will de-couple them from OL* events. Tuning up of the parameter may fail if there is not enough free physi‐ cal memory to satisfy the request. These tunables, and must both be set to a relative state (either default of percent state), or must both be set to a constant value. For example, the following are acceptable settings: The following will result in an error: If is currently set to default, the following is acceptable: But the following will result in an error: See other restrictions in the section above. When Should the Value of These Tunables Be Raised? Low system performance at initialization time and/or on a system with filesystem I/O-intensive processes may be an indication that the values of these tunables are too low. If there is a large number of processes actively and constantly using file data I/O, you should raise the value of for more deterministic I/O. In most cases, especially when the file data I/O is expected to peak only occasionally, it is recommended that the value of the maximum limit, is raised instead. What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Values? The amount of memory reserved for the minimum file cache size, dictated by cannot be used on the system for other purposes. Be careful not to raise this value so high that it can eventually cause memory pressure and overall system performance degradation. When Should the Values of These Tunables Be Lowered? The value of the minimum limit, can be lowered to allow a larger per‐ centage of memory to be used for purposes other than filesystem I/O caching, depending on competing requests. By lowering the value of a larger amount of memory is available for other purposes, without com‐ peting with file I/O requests. What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Values? If there are many competing requests for physical memory, and the file cache tunables are set to too low a value, very high demand on file I/O operations can eventually cause filesystem I/O performance degradation. EXAMPLES Set the file cache minimum to 10% of physical memory: Set a fixed size file cache of 1 gigabyte: Set the file cache minimum to 15% of physical memory, and the maximum to 65% of the physical memory: WARNINGS All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. These param‐ eters may be removed or have their meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX. Other tunable parameters related to sizing the buffer cache that existed in previous HP-UX releases are now obsolete. The tunables and should be used to set limits to the file cache. Note that, on any given system, the optimum values of these two new tunables are not nec‐ essarily equivalent to the optimum values of the obsolete tunable val‐ ues in the older systems. You should first determine if the new default values yield acceptable performance on your system, before attempting to change the values of the new file cache tunables. Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended val‐ ues.

Voices in my head that are not my own: This is how I think of podcasts. These days, one of my favorite set of voices to listen to is HBR Women at Work hosted by Amy Bernstein, Amy Gallo, and Nicole Torres – three Harvard Business School powerhouses who think deeply about gender in the workplace. Although Harvard is known for exploring the lofty questions of our time, I like this podcast for its everyday pragmatism.
In a recent episode entitled Sorry, Not Sorry the hosts interviewed a psychology researcher who shared the results of her study, "Why Women Apologize More than Men." Their discussion went well beyond the stereotypical profile of the "over-apologizer" to explore other ways in which women use self-minimizing language. The episode concludes with expert advice on how women (and men) can break the "sorry" habit.
Several Women at Work episodes delve into the theme of "sisterhood" in the workplace – that special quality of trust, understanding, and mutual support that can be built among women. Specifically, these episodes explore why said sisterhood is surprisingly scarce, the power that comes from it when it's present, and how to cultivate it.
Each episode of Women at Work has a discussion guide which can also be used in groups or for independent self-reflection. And, of course, Women at Work is not just for women. Every episode I listen to helps me uncover my own blind spots and false assumptions about gender at work.
What podcast do you find enhance your capacity to lead well?

|Pass if opponents silent
|To play. This is true whatever the meaning of the pass, e.g. forcing.
|Pass if opponents have started wriggling
|Might be passing for penalties, hoping partner can find a reopening double. Any subsequent double later in the auction by the player who passed here will be for penalties.
|Redouble from the opponents
|see separate table below.
|Pass after a redouble for blood to show strength
|To play, with nothing to say.
|Any other bid after a redouble for blood to show strength
|Weak and to play, possibly pre-emptive.
|Double of a natural or semi-natural (e.g. this and another) suit bid if the opponents have started wriggling
|Take-out. If on the following round the takeout doubler then pulls his partner's requested takeout bid or bids a new suit over the opposition's continued intervention, the new bid is natural and game-forcing.
|Double of a no-trump bid
|Penalties, but unusually this doesn't kill the "in the bank" takeout double of a suit that you'll still have available if the opponents suddenly pop up with one.
|Double of an artificial suit bid by the opposition
|FREEBIE. Natural "freebie" double, showing that you have that suit and at least a few values, without affecting the "in the bank" takeout double that you'll still have available when the opponents at last make a natural suit bid. Unusually, the "in the bank" take-out double of an opposing suit bid will remain available even if we've doubled subsequent no-trump bids.
|New suit, whether or not the opposition have started wriggling
|Weak, to play.
|Jump in suit
|Natural and invitational with a long suit, but not game-forcing.
|To play.
|1NT dble 2H (natural) 2S
|weak, to play
|1NT dble 2H (natural) dble
|1NT dble 2C (natural) dble pass 2H pass 2S
|the double was for takeout, after which the 2S bid is natural and game-forcing
|1NT dble 2H (transfer to spades) dble
|freebie double, showing a heart suit and not affecting the partnership's "in the bank" takeout double
|1NT dble 2?? (other puppet bid to a known different suit, e.g. spades) dble
|another freebie double, as above
|1NT dble 2H (natural) dble 2S dble
|2H-dble is takeout, 2S-dble is penalties because we've now used up our "in the bank" double
|1NT dble 2H (natural) pass pass dble
|takeout, since partner might have been passing for penalties
|1NT dble 2H (transfer) pass 2S (as requested) dble
|again takeout, as before
|1NT dble 2H (natural) pass 2S dble
|this time it's penalties, because opener is bidding spades under their own steam and it's the second denomination that's been bid by that player. The tentative assumption is that partner's pass was for penalties, since a bid would have been weak and to play.
|1NT dble 3S (natural) dble
|1NT dble 2?? (not showing the suit being bid but instead asking a question of partner, e.g. Stayman) dble
|freebie double, not affecting the partnership's "in the bag" takeout double
|1NT dble 2C (Stayman) dble 2NT dble 3H (natural) dble
|a very silly auction, but I've included it to demonstrate how a few clear principles can simplify a complicated situation. If the first double is for penalties, then the second double is freebie, the third double is penalties and the fourth double is that "in the bank" takeout double that still hadn't been used yet.
|Quite possibly a forced pass, since double obviously isn't a legal bid after this sequence! Denies a very weak hand with a long suit that can't bear a penalty double of the opposition, because such a hand can bid its suit immediately with the meaning of "weak and to play". If the passer later turns out to be very weak, they're also flat.
|suit at 2-level
|weak, to play
|game-forcing, very likely to have shape because a flat hand with values will be seeking to penalise the opponents instead.
|suit at 3-level
|long suit, invitational. Doubler is allowed to pass, but also to bid game if suitable.
|4 of a minor
|any game
|to play
|Might be holding a club suit and hoping can partner find a reopening double, although this isn't mandatory.
|THIS IS NOT FREEBIE. Instead it's takeout, on the presumption that the opponents' suit is clubs. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't, but that has to be the meaning of a double in this position, against the one-in-four eventuality of responder being about to pass and put down lots of clubs. The rationale to help us remember this is that even though the bid was a forced response, sometimes it's going to be natural for the partnership and so can't be treated as "freebie".
|suit at 2-level
|natural, strong
|unknown two-suiter
|natural, strong, shows clubs
|jump shift
|extremely strong six-card suit or longer, requires very little in addition from partner to make game
|4 of a minor
|any game
|to play
|Takeout of the now-revealed suit, with the system now being identical to the simpler sequence we'd have followed if the opponents' system hadn't included the wrinkle of a redouble and a 2C puppet response. It's the "in the bank" takeout double that we hadn't used up yet, in other words.

As a homeowner, you are possibly constantly looking for ways to add value to your house. Doing so has a number of benefits for you. For one thing, it makes your home a lot more comfortable to live in. For another, it also ensures that your house will fetch a higher price if it ever goes on the market. As you can imagine, there are some right and wrong ways to go about increasing the overall worth of your home. So, if you want to figure out what your best options are, you should keep reading…
Remodel Your Bathroom
It appears that one of the main things that house buyers are looking for is a modern and well-finished bathroom. In fact, it is so important to them that they are willing to pay more for a house if this space has been recently remodelled. Clearly, it is time for you to look into bathroom renovations Barossa Valley or wherever you live.
So, what exactly is it that you should fix up in this space? Well, the top items on your to-do list should be the flooring, the shower or the tub, and the vanity. Thus, you may want to begin your remodel project here. Of course, there is no need to go overboard – just make sure that everything is functioning properly and looks stylish.
Modernise the Kitchen
It doesn't matter who you ask, many people will admit that a kitchen is one of the most important spaces in the home. This is especially true for families. Naturally, home buyers will pay quite a bit of attention to this space in the house. Therefore, you will need to make sure that it is up to scratch.
Once again, though, you don't need to do a major overhaul unless your kitchen is quite old. It is more about sprucing it up and making it look like it is modern. If your fixtures and appliances are outdated, however, it will be worth it for you to replace them with newer versions. After all, in the kitchen, functionality is key.
Alter Your Floor Plan
Unless you built your home, you have probably been stuck with the floor plan that it came with. So, if your house is on the older side, this means that it may be rather closed off. Well, if it is within your budget, it is time to open this space up. This will make the house seem larger, which is something that most home buyers are interested in.
One of the first things that you can do is to take note of any unnecessary walls between in certain rooms. If they don't offer up a particular function, you may want to consider taking them down. If there are multiple doors leading from one room to another, think about replacing these. Opt for doors that are more glass-based so that they let more light in and make the room appear as though it is larger.
These are the main ways that you can add some serious value to your home. Therefore, you should take these tips to heart if you are considering remodelling.

Keep Busy and Entertained this Summer! #2
Summer Holidays
We spent most of last term looking forward to them, the first weeks enjoying them and now it seems many of you are counting down the however many weeks until school starts back as kids start to whine, bicker and fight amongst themselves. I initially thought to put together a nice little list of "things to do" but it quickly turned into a series of mini blog posts to share a few local(ish) ideas that I enjoy and have either taken students to as part of the Kensington English Holiday Camps or have taken friends' children to for our special days out together; and some of my favourite books and activities to keep your little learners busy, and you sane!
The sun'll come out tomorrow… So far, we've had the most amazing weather this summer. It almost makes you forget what that wet substance that occasionally drops from the sky actually is.
Today I will be sharing a few ideas of indoor activities for when it does make an appearance that can either take you out of the house or can keep your little learners amused off-screen.
Aquatis Aquarium-Vivarium, Lausanne
A multi-floored aquarium and vivarium just off the motorway in Lausanne, Aquatis offers a superb and informative day out. The tour is divided up into zones and natural environments presenting Fresh Water across the ages and from all over the world. The decoration was great - the girls and I particularly enjoyed watching reflections of the ceiling installations, especially in the Asia section. The videos were a little tricky to understand when other groups were passing by but the interactive screens were really interesting. They opened up much discussion about extinction and what we can do to help our planet.
The real highlight of our visit as part of the Summer 2018 Holiday Camp was the tunnel. We spent ages totally in awe. However, the dinosaur/crocodile/beast just around the corner, going up the steps was not quite as popular… We had to scuttle past when he was looking the other way!
Adults CHF 29.- Concessions CHF 27.- Children 5-15 CHF 19.-
Look out for Happy Monday Deals for entry at CHF 19.- (excluding School Holidays and Bank Holidays)
Musée de Zoologie, Palais de Rumine, Lausanne
This museum, along with others in the same Palais de Rumine complex, is a fascinating centre of discovery. There are permanent features but the temporary exhibits are definitely the main attraction. The themes change somewhat regularly so be sure to look up what's on via their website.
Free Entry
NB the signs are in French so if you're not a total polyglot, be sure to download a translation app to make the most of your visit.
Fun Planet / JayLand
… because sometimes your little learners just want to let loose and run around like loonies, somewhere other than your living room!
JayLand, with centres in Lausanne and Gland, is a great Soft Play spot for younger kids and their adults, whilst Fun Planet is for your big kids with activities such as bowling, minigolf, karting and arcade games. They pretty much do what they say on the tin but do check opening times and possible age restrictions on their respective websites:
Lego-Mania Challenges
Lego. The Danish toy company whose
little plastic blocks allow little learners, and the not so little learners, to imagine and create a range of environments and stories. Lego-Mania Challenges is a fun way to extend building and learning and can include one, or many, of the following:
□ Against the Clock: your little learners have a pile of bricks and have to make a chosen something within a time frame eg a working lorry in 60 seconds
□ Paperbag: your little learners have a pile of bricks and have to make something interesting inside a paperbag ie a blind build
□ Touch the sky: your little learners have a pile of bricks and have to make the tallest structure they can. Bonus points if it is able to stay upright by itself.
You could also give them problems to solve requiring an added level of planning and engineering, such as:
□ You are a little lego man. You have crashed your car and the engine has completely blown. Fortunately, the big humans had a birthday party yesterday so there are lots of spare parts, ribbons, wrapping paper, tape and balloons to use in order to repair your car and get it moving again by itself.
Please post a picture in the comments section to let me know how you get on!
Scavenger Hunt to a new Board Game
As a big kid still, I love board games. Mr Kensington English and I played a game of Monopoly Bristol Edition last week and racing around the board brought back so many wonderful memories of living there. Recently, I met a wonderful lady named Karine who is just as big a fan as I. So much so, she helps run a toy shop in Lausanne: Jouets Davidson.
To prolong the fun, prepare a set of clues for your little learners to then be dotted around the house. These ones from WildFlower Blog are great. Give them the first clue and set them off to find a brand new board game, hidden in spot 10. Ready, steady, go for hours of fun and laughter.
The next instalment in this mini blog post series will detail some Good Reads to keep your little learners busy and you sane. Like the Kensington English Facebook page and sign up to the mailing list at the top of this page to get it hot off the proverbial press!
