It's August which means that in Sweden the crayfish season is traditionally opened with open air parties and crayfish dinners. Yum! I just saw a photo pass by on facebook of a small conference in Sweden I attended a few years ago; the crayfish conference. What a blast that was! A full weekend of workshops, networking, parties and… Crayfish!
I thought this was a good moment to blog about a Swedish Crayfish Party this week. I will share two recipes with you this week. Today I will explain how to cook crayfish so you can serve them at your own Swedish crayfish party. I will also give some tips on what to serve with the crayfish. Later this week I will share a recipe for a delicious crayfish salad.
What do you need for a Swedish crayfish party:
For cooked crayfish you need (serves 4)
- Fresh Crayfish 2kg for 4 persons. If you cannot get fresh crayfish then try IKEA, they sell frozen crayfish that you only need to defrost)
- 1 onion
- 3 liters of water
- 2 bottles of porter beer
- 20 sprigs of fresh dill
- 100 gr. sea salt
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. anise
How to cook the crayfish:
The crayfish are cooked in a broth with fresh dill and beer. If you were to use frozen crayfish you should follow the same steps but leave out the salt.
Crush the fresh dill and finely chop the onion. Then combine the water, beer, onion, dill, anise, sugar and salt into a large pan. Bring the broth to a boil, let it boil for 5 minutes and then set it aside.
Take another pan and fill it with water. Bring it to a boil too.
We can then start with boiling the crayfish. First cook the crayfish in the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Then transfer them to the broth and boil them for another 5 minutes.
Put the crayfish in a bowl and cover them with cooled broth. Leave it in your refridgerator for one night before serving. Garnish with fresh dill.
The sides
Crayfish is absolutely delicious, but it can be a pain to get the meat out of the skeleton if you are not used to the tools that are available to you.
The other pain is the time it takes to do it. If cracking crayfish and eating crayfish is a first time thing for you, then chances are that you will end up eating very little. This can be a risky business if you are attending an actual swedish crayfish party. The crayfish are small and the schnapps shots the Swedes serve with their crayfish are big (compared to the amount of meat you get from one crayfish that is). The idea is that while eating you take breaks to sing typical Swedish drinking songs with the rest of the party. Each song ends with taking a shot of schnapps. The pace in which the Swedes go through their cantus book is fierce so you need to be careful not to get completely wasted.
This is where the side dishes come in. Your guests will appreciate a filling side dish to go with the crayfish to fill their stomachs and avoid the schnapps to kick in instantly and a big post-party hangover. You could take for example:
Chorizo quiche
Greek salad
Fluffy egg pie
Potato salad
Enjoy your party and… Skål!
Oh and if you are looking for Swedish drinking songs the website of the Spirits Museum in Stockholm may be able to help (easy PDF's for drinking songs for different occasions). Here's a link to the songs that are appropriate 'all year round'. And if you want to know what it sounds like, then here's the link to one of the songs 'Jag har aldrig vatt på snusen' on YouTube.

I thought it would be fun to share the food I eat while I work.
Now, because of the nature of my job, my hours vary from day to day, so some days I eat more than others because I may work longer hours.
Today I only worked five hours, so I didn't eat as much, and I did leave work hungry.
I went into work at 12pm and was pretty hungry because I didn't eat breakfast before going in. So I started the day with some Coconut Vanilla Greek Yogurt, homemade granola, and half of a mason jar of Rainier Cherries.
I was pretty full after this little breakfast, granted it did take me like 45 minutes to eat.
Around 1:30, I decided to have some coconut water, because I felt pretty dehydrated this morning, so I figured it would be a good refresher for me.
Around 2:30, I started getting a little hungry, so I decided to eat part of my lunch, which was a spring mix salad with some Italian vinaigrette. Now a lot of people think I'm weird because I just eat the spring mix, with no other toppings, but it is just so good with the dressing! I make it with the Good Seasons Zesty Italian mix, with olive oil, water, and apple cider vinegar. It's such a satisfying pre-lunch for me.
By the time I left, I was feeling pretty hungry, but it was a little too late for me to eat anything else. I brought in a tamale to eat for the other part of my lunch, but realized I left my Tabasco sauce at home, so I decided against eating it.
But, now that I'm home I'm going to snack on some leftovers while trying to decide what to eat for dinner.
I hope you enjoyed my work food adventures!

Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection (which begins at $20 per user per year) is a ransomware protection suite for businesses that's available for sale only through partner channels. Geared towards the needs of small to midsize businesses (SMBs), Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection works with Mac OS and Microsoft Windows operating systems (OSes) for desktops and laptops. The server protection licenses will also work on Linux servers but can't be used for desktop Linux machines. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are supported and given the same range of protection via a Device Enrollment wizard. Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection is easy enough for novices to navigate and yet has a broad range of features to satisfy seasoned security professionals. It has a wide range of sophisticated features to guard against malware of all forms, and has earned the praise of several independent labs as well as earned our Editors' Choice designation in our ransomware protection for business review roundup.
Installation and User Interface
A free trial is available on their website so you're able to try it out first. But after your paid account is created, getting started is a breeze. Logging into Sophos Central greets you with the Dashboard. Here's where you can access all the products capabilities, including not only anti-ransomware but the gamut of hosted endpoint protection features. Up at the top are the most recent alerts (if there are any), putting them in quick and easy view if there's a problem. Below that is a usage summary, showing which devices are protected, and which ones have been inactive for a considerable period of time. If a device drops off the map for a while, it could be a cause for concern, so this is a nice feature to have at a glance. If you are using the Email Security, which requires pointing your domain's mail exchange records (MX records) to Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection, you can also get a summary of email threat activity as well. Web stats are off to the right, so if there's some phishing attempts, you'll be sure to know about them. An interesting addition is a "news" stream at the bottom which tries to keep you up to date on new threats and how to combat them. I'm a fan of educating users out of trouble, so this won me over.
To get started quickly, you can hop down to the Protect Devices section. From there, you can click the appropriate download link for your system. After the agent is installed, which takes only a minute or two, your device is officially protected by the system. If you are using a mobile device, there as a mobile enrollment wizard on the same page. Adding users is similarly easy under the People section. You can add users one at a time or import them from comma-separated values (CSV) files.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud
Avast Business Antivirus Pro Plus
Panda Security Adaptive Defense 360
Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security Services
McAfee Endpoint Protection Essential for SMB
Kaspersky Small Office Security
Next down from the dashboard is the alerts page. This is where all threats will be catalogued and displayed as they are discovered. As they are resolved, you can check and mark them off the list. If a particular threat is cited more than once, it can be grouped with a simple toggle switch. If any threat requires manual cleanup or additional activity, you can click into the threat's hyperlink and see what the next steps are. Most of the time, all you need is a simple restart to clear the issue.
The Devices section is also delightfully simple to use. To view the details of a specific system, you can click into it. From there you can get a quick summary of the products installed, recent events, current system status, and policies. Security Health under the status tab is fairly detailed and can give you a quick rundown if anything is amiss, such as out of date software or an active threat. The policies will also let you see at a glance which policies apply to that device.
By far, one of the most useful pieces of Endpoint Protection is root cause analysis. It's great to say that your systems are protected, but it's often more useful to know how an attack originated, as this can be an excellent source of material that can then be used to train users on what not to do. For instance, if Bob downloads an unsanctioned application that happens to have some ransomware hitching a ride, that can be brought to light in the next security meeting. There are quite a few components involved, but it can really be broken into three parts: Overview, Artifacts, and Visualize. Overview describes the threat and gives you the rundown on where it was found and when. Artifacts describes the changes that it tried to make to the system. Visualize gives you a diagram showing the path of infection and how the malware tried to interact with the system. Besides being one of only three products in this review roundup providing this kind of analysis, Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection also does the best job of it.
If there is a downside to Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection, then it would be the overwhelming number of options when it comes to policy configuration. The good news is that all the default policies have the important features on to start with, so there isn't much to do here unless you want to get crafty or have specific requirements for device or web control. This is in stark contrast to products such as Panda Security Adaptive Defense 360 (68.00 Per Device Per Year at Panda Security) in which the mode must be changed to get a level of protection. There are seven categories of policies you can add, ranging from Application Control to Web Control and each have their own unique set of settings to tweak. Each policy can apply to either users or devices, so there is a lot of flexibility in when and where you apply settings.
Ransomware Protection
Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection excels at ransomware protection. With deep learning and exploit detection, it can quickly determine various software threats. The CryptoGuard feature can automatically recover any damaged files and protect against ransomware encryptions attempts.
Furthermore, with its root cause analysis, Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection can track what happens as a program executes so that, whatever it does can be rolled back later, if necessary. Combined with a firewall that knows how to look for various kinds of hostile traffic, you have a winner.
Test Results
My initial testing involved using a known set of malware collected for research purposes. Each was stored in a password-protected ZIP file and was extracted individually. The virus samples, when extracted, were detected immediately. Out of 142 malware variants, all items were flagged and quarantined.
To test protection against harmful websites, a random selection of the newest 10 websites were selected from PhishTank, an open community that reports known and suspected phishing websites. All of the Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) attempted resulted in the website in question being blocked.
To test Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection's response to ransomware, I used a set of 44 ransomware samples, including WannaCry. None of the samples made it past extraction from the ZIP file. This is not terribly surprising since each of the samples has a known signature. That being said, the response was swift and severe. The executables were promptly flagged as ransomware and removed from disk.
KnowBe4's ransomware simulator RanSim was also flagged as a ransomware instance as well. Since it's likely these were picked up via known signatures, I proceeded with a more direct approach by simulating an active attacker. This is consistent with the highest-scoring ransomware protection products that include Bitdefender GravityZone Elite and ESET Endpoint Protection Standard.
All Metasploit tests were conducted using the default settings of the product. Since none of them succeeded, I felt confident in skipping any settings of a more aggressive nature. First, I used Metasploit to set up an AutoPwn2 server designed to exploit the browser. This launches a series of attacks that are known to succeed on common browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer. Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection blocked the exploits with little fuss.
The next test used a macro-enabled Microsoft Word document. Inside of the document contained an encoded application that a Microsoft Visual Basic Script (VBScript) would then decode and attempt to launch. This can often be a tricky condition to detect when various masking and encryption techniques are used. The file produced an error when opening, indicating that the attack failed.
Lastly, I tested a social engineering based attack. In this scenario, the user downloads a compromised installer of FileZilla using Shellter. On executing it, it will execute a Meterpreter session and call back to the attacking system. The exploit was blocked within seconds and removed from disk.
AV-Test, an independent lab that tests antivirus software, conducted a test in August of 2018 to evaluate a series of endpoint security software packages. Their results gave Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection a protection score of "6 out of 6" and a performance score of "5.5 out of 6." In addition, MRF-Effitas has ranked Sophos in first place with regards to exploit protection. This robustness was reflected in our own tests as well. While not the perfect score that was received by Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud, I did not notice a significant difference in their overall performance.
Final Thoughts
Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection perfectly blends protection with ease of use and tools for putting businesses into a more proactive posture. The price is right, and it has tools for an experienced security professional without sacrificing the ability for a layperson to install and manage it. It's an excellent choice for any business looking to keep its network protected, without spending a lot of time and money to do so.
Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection
The Bottom Line
Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection brings an excellent combination of deep learning and exploit detection to the table. It provides a solid defense against ransomware for any sized business.

In previous articles, we have stated that project management is more efficient and effective when using the appropriate tools for the job. They referred to collecting and storing project data and information in automated environments for future use. This article will address what is frequently labeled knowledge management, or business intelligence. In this article, we will describe a theoretical model which explains how data can be transformed into higher levels of business intelligence that can be used as a basis for business decisions.
Data, Information, Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom (DIKUW) Hierarchy
You may be familiar with the DIKUW Hierarchy from a college systems theory course. The hierarchy is typically presented as being comprised of either four or five layers of increasingly complex information. The five layer model by systems theorist Russel Ackoff is a little easier to conceptualize and apply to business intelligence. This model features data on the first layer, information on the second layer, knowledge on the third layer, understanding on the fourth layer and wisdom occupying the top layer.
Many people use the words data and information interchangeably, but they have very different meanings when working with systems models. Since the differences between the terms can become a bit nebulous, you should really think of the layers as a spectrum of nuanced definitions continuously morphing from one layer to the next. The lines should be thought of as grey areas instead of clear demarcations.
Project Management Data Models
An elementary data model that is commonly used in project management is the spreadsheet. It may be a basic spreadsheet like Excel or a more sophisticated interface based on a collaborative database like Smartsheet. The important thing to keep in mind is the cell's relational aspect to the rows and columns of the spreadsheet or collaborative database. The column is typically used as a primary definition or description for all of the data elements in the rows in that column.
Data is a fundamental building block of all information, knowledge, understanding and wisdom. A datum (data element) is a discrete fact or observation. An individual datum is difficult to interpret because it does not have any context, or it has very little context and purpose. Each data element should always be true. If it is not true, it is not data but garbage. This is where the concept of "garbage/in – garbage/out" originates. For example a date in an individual cell of a spreadsheet without the context of its row and column definitions will constitute a data element with no context and meaning.
Information consists of data synthesized with other data to give meaning. It has context, relevance and purpose. Information implies that it has some usefulness to the reader. It will typically answer one or more Who, What, When and Where questions. If we add a column title, say "Project Start Date," to our spreadsheet, the date gains context and meaning. This cell now represents the starting date of some project which is a form of information.
Knowledge is more abstract and elusive than data and information. Knowledge consists of selected information synthesized with other appropriate information to create new information and knowledge. It implies that information is structured, organized and interpreted and is useful to the reader. Knowledge typically addresses "How to" questions. Our spreadsheet user will use his/her knowledge to interpret how this "Project Start Date" can be used to increase his or her knowledge about the project. He or she can compare this date with current date, future dates or other items such as available resources.
Understanding is yet more complex than knowledge in that it implies an appreciation and comprehension of "Why" something exists. Understanding is a cognitive, analytical, and probabilistic process that integrates the interpretation of existing knowledge with new information to create a new level of awareness. By analogy, understanding differs from knowledge as learning differs from memorizing. Our spreadsheet user will use the information contained in the "Project Start Date," synthesize it with his/her knowledge to determine "why" this date exists. For example, perhaps this is the first date when resources will be available to begin.
Wisdom is the highest level of the human consciousness. Here, one evaluates the lower levels of understanding based on the person's existing aesthetic, ethical and moral values. One attempts to arrive at some judgment based on his or her pre-existing and evaluated understanding. Wisdom is the realm of philosophical questions and contemplation. It is a process that attempts to discriminate right from wrong, good from evil and can answer "If, then" questions. As for our spreadsheet user, "wisdom" may be reflected in understanding that the "Project Start Date" falls in the holiday season, therefore will not likely be acceptable by other parties involved.
Now what?
Our next article will use these fundamental building blocks to educate you on the application of a few state-of-the-art business intelligence tools that are currently available in the market. Some of these can effortlessly transform the data contained in our spreadsheets into useful and timely knowledge and understanding. We will explain how using business intelligence software is the most effective means to deliver the right project information to the right people.

Thank you kindly
Happy first day of Spring!
It's raining a bit outside, but I'll take the rain and mud any day over snow and ice... so, it's all good! My card today has a spring feel to it with lots of flowers and bright colors. I used retired Stampin Up patterned papers along with the Layers of Color Floral Frame stamp set that coordinates with Spellbinder's Label 16 die. After stamping the image on Copic Xpress It card stock, I used Spellbinder's Grand Calibur to cut it out with the coordinating die.
I also pulled out some yellow fun foam and die cut a button die - I love how it not only cut but embossed it as well...
Card Details
Stamps: Floral Frame; Sent with Love (Layers of Color)
Ink: Versafine black; Memento black; SU blue (inside)
Card stock: SU patterned; Copic Xpress it white
Other: detail embossing powder; Pink Paislee twine; Copics; Spellbinder label 16; MFT border and button die; yellow fun foam; may arts silk ribbon
and the inside view...
Have a wonderful day!

Ohinemuri Regional History Journal 35, September 1991
By Gordon Mathieson
The death at Paeroa on 22 May, 1991 of Miss Muriel Janet Taylor, ends one of the last remaining direct links with our pioneering past.
Miss Taylor's father, William Huia Taylor was born in Raglan in 1864, moving to Te Aroha in 1881 where he later became a constructional contractor in partnership with the late William Charles Kennedy - so well known in Waitawheta in the early days, and later in Te Aroha where he died at 94 years of age, on 5 June, 1969. (See Journal No 1 for fuller details on W C Kennedy.)
Moving to Paeroa in 1896, W H Taylor and his wife, Elizabeth became well known in the area. Mrs Taylor was previously married to a Mr Marshall and they had one daughter, Lillian Marshall, who never married.
The six children of W H Taylor were:
1 Victor John Huia (killed in France in World War I on 5 October 1918)
2 William Henry (died 12 May, 1944, aged 46) who married Penelope Handley (died 9 September, 1957). Their four children were : Huia James (Red) (died 10 Sept. 1988 aged 69); Rita Murdock; Viv (Mrs C Speechlay, Paeroa; Billy Treacy

6 Muriel Janet
The Taylors lived in Brenan Street, Paeroa, once the lower portion of Hill Street before it was bisected by the Railway yards after 1925. William Huia Taylor was a long-serving Paeroa District High School Committee member, including Chairman (1908 - 1924); a J.P. from 1906; a foundation member of the Paeroa Bowling Club (1904) and an original Borough Councillor (1915 1921). Taylors Avenue is named after him, as is Taylors Hill Reserve, bounded by Taylors Ave., Kennedy and Hill Streets and Millar Ave. Mrs Taylor died on 16 May, 1940, aged 74 and Mr Taylor on 3 December, 1944, at 80 years of age.
Miss Taylor was born in Paeroa on 11 January, 1908, attending both Primary and Secondary departments of Paeroa District High School from 1913, commencing under the much-loved Infant Mistress, Miss Minnie Shaw. The Headmasters were Messrs D W Dunlop, R J Hamilton and G H Taylor. Her secondary education was from Mr Frank Wilks and Miss Winnie Sutton, from 1921 to 1923, gaining her matriculation.
A musical education was capped by passing exams in A.T.C.L. (Associate, Trinity College, London) and L.T.C.L. (Licentiate, Trinity College, London), both with Honours, at Lourde's Convent, at Te Aroha. In 1924 she was a probationer at Paeroa District High School. At the suggestion of the Headmaster, Mr G H Taylor, Muriel entered the Teacher's Training College at Epsom, where she was the College pianist.
Miss Taylor's first teaching positions were in Northland and the eastern Bay of Plenty, then 3 years at Paeroa D.H.S. (1929 -1931). From here on, all of her teaching was in Thames Valley Schools - Hikutaia, Tirohia, Karangahake (at which she taught about 30 pupils under the Headmastership of Mr C R Briggs, but the roll was declining to a point where an assistant was no longer required, and in 1942 she was transferred) and finally at Paeroa Central School in Wood Street where she was on permanent relief from 1961 until her retirement on 19 August 1966.
With a musical education behind her. Miss Taylor was well known for teaching folk dancing, ballroom dancing and singing. Another talent was the coaching of tennis and basketball at the schools where she had taught. In recognition of this ability, Muriel Taylor was elected the first President of the Thames Valley Basketball (later Netball) Association. Miss Taylor was also Treasurer of the Paeroa Horticultural Society from 1962 until 1975.
Her later years were spent in retirement in Thames until a brief return to Paeroa late in 1990, where she died at 83 years of age.
Postscript: The Taylor family name is still represented in Paeroa through the descendants of the late William Henry Taylor, the second son of William Huia Taylor. Rhett Taylor, Manager of Rhett's Radiators of Francis Street, Paeroa is the son of the late Huia James Taylor and is a great grandson of William Huia Taylor. Muriel Taylor was his great aunt.
BERT McARA
A former mines inspector and author of the book "Gold Mining At Waihi", Mr Bert McAra passed away on March 29, 1991 at Thames. He was born at Waikino on February 15,1908, a time when the Martha mine at Waihi was at its peak. Of Scottish descent his father, Peter Daniel McAra, settled in Waikino in its earliest days, working in the fitting shop of the Victoria battery and in 1901 married an Irish girl, Alice May Geoghegan.
Young Bert's first memories were of the noise and activity associated with the processing of the ore. A highlight was the occasional visit to the battery on a Sunday morning with his father. There he experienced the thrill of the giant machines, the vast tanks, the hum of electric motors, thud of compressors, shining brass and glistening steel and the feeling of enormous power from the engine room.
His parents later bought a nearby 100 acre block of fern and scrub, which they struggled to bring into economic production while Mr McAra snr continued to work at the battery. Hardship aside, it provided an atmosphere for the five children to grow up in which they learned to love the countryside's hills, bush and streams. When he left school Bert went to work in an office in Wellington but found he did not like inside work so returned home in 1926. In the late 1920's he began work at the Waihi mine and studied at the Waihi School of Mines at the same time.
His interest in mining soon took him to Australia where he met his wife-to-be on the voyage over. Whilst in Western Australia he gained a wide range of mining experience before returning several years later with his wife Beatrice and young son, to work firstly in quarries round Auckland. Later he was able to return to cooperative contract work at the Martha Mine. He studied further at the School of Mines, qualifying as mine manager, quarry manager and battery superintendent. His three daughters were subsequently born in N.Z.
Bert left the Martha in 1949 and worked atTeAroha before going to Western Australia again, and to Tasmania, before again returning to N.Z. to take up an appointment as Inspector of Mines at Huntly. He remained there for 19 years until retiring to Waihi in 1973.
He had striven hard to qualify, studying at night after a day's work, never an easy way to get a qualification.
A man of integrity he demanded the best from his fellow workers and on his inspection visits he expected things to be up to scratch. Because he expected these high standards, he wasn't always popular. But he'd always set himself the same standards.
He also went out of his way to be of assistance. There were many who acknowledged the considerable help they got from Bert when studying for their mining and quarrying tickets.
A valued member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, he was on the board of examiners of mining candidates; he helped form the country's mining legislation and his contacts in the mining and quarrying industries were many and varied.
In retirement with his wife at Waihi, Bert continued his interest in mining. When the Martha Mine was being reopened he was for three months the mine manager.
He then commenced writing his book 'Gold Mining at Waihi' which was published in 1978 and again in a revised edition in 1988. He and Mrs McAra became life members of the Waihi Historical Society.
After subsequently moving to Thames he took up bowls, and continued to write. Eventually illness caught up with him so that on Good Friday he quietly passed away.

On Tuesday morning, our serene mountains were filled by the joy and mystical sounds of a truly memorable and once in a lifetime impromptu jam session. Former university professor and now world-renowned holistic animator Dr. Bruce Copley and the intriguing one-man band Zirk Bergh, came together with local electric violinist Denzl Keenen, to have some fun and challenge each other musically.
Dr. Copley is well known for his incredible range of musical instruments he can play, and truly left all with a spring in their step for the day, with the soothing sounds from his didgeridoo, hang drum (an almost UFO-like drum producing angelic sounds), flutes, shakers, bagpipes and much more. His arrival togehter with that of Zirk Bergh (with his music box and unique style of guitar playing) was a pleasant surprise, and brought delight and humour to the day . The merging of the above mentioned unique musicians, accompanied by the wondrous, comforting and familiar sounds of Denzl Keenan's violin, created a rich and stunning event that will be hard to forget.
These three friends and fellow artists taught all to truly embrace the moment of the 'now' as all of creation's gifts and magic lie at the very core of your every moment.

This year the offshore wind company Vineyard Wind plans to start construction on a wind farm south of Martha's Vineyard, with more than 80 turbines. Several other commercial wind-power projects are proposed for the state's coastal waters. And while the first offshore turbine has yet to go up in Massachusetts, already this new industry is beginning to have an impact on local classrooms, from elementary grades to college.
One recent morning at the Sea Lab Marine Science Educational Center in New Bedford, a group of fifth graders from Gomes Elementary School were putting together prototypes of wind turbine blades made from popsicle sticks and cardboard. Fifth grader Bianca LeBron worked with classmates on a design.
"Maybe a smaller stick, because a larger stick doesn't seem to get a lot of wind power?" she suggested.
On this day, she and her classmates were trying to design blades that would generate enough wind energy to power a small red light. Greg Pimentel who runs the offshore wind program explained to the class how they should think about blade designs.
"A really important thing is the pitch of the blade, or the angle. Now, if I have my blade straight like this, is this going to catch wind and spin the turbine?" he asked the class.
This is the first year that Sea Lab is running an official offshore wind program for students.
"It's really important for my kids to learn about offshore wind because we live here in New Bedford, right on the coast, and this is something that's very current," teacher Kayla Fleurent Corey said.
Though the fifth graders weren't sure if they wanted a job in offshore wind just yet, older students at Bristol Community College in Fall River are more seriously considering careers in the industry. The College is getting ready to offer the first accredited offshore wind degree in the state this coming fall, and professor Anthony Ucci said they've already gotten inquiries from interested students.
"We're training them to be operations and maintenance technicians," Ucci said. "That is the long-term job that stays with the actual wind farm."
The college saw an opportunity for a workforce pipeline in New Bedford. The program will include a general curriculum of engineering courses, but it'll also have classes on marine safety and training on a mock wind turbine.
"The fact is, there's essentially no offshore wind technicians in the country now, so we want to make sure those students are ready to go when that job gets there," Ucci said.
But one challenge to the program is making the industry seem real to students. Ucci said in the past, the promise of other renewable energy industries in the area, like the failed offshore wind project Cape Wind, have come and gone.
"Cape Wind is a real problem that we deal with," he said. "That was supposed to be a big project, supposed to employ a lot of people, and the fact that that didn't happen makes people believe that it's possible that other projects like it might not happen."
But first year student Joseph Massi said this time around, he thinks things are different. He's interested in a job in the offshore wind industry because now that the state has backed the construction of multiple offshore wind farms, it seems like the industry has gained a foothold.
"Renewable energy as a whole, that's the future and that's where everything is going to be when the world takes notice," Massi said. "Once it starts booming in the U.S., that's going to be where you'll want to be as far as an engineer."
Bristol Community College is also moving forward on a joint offshore wind program with the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Bourne and with the Adult & Community Education of Martha's Vineyard in the fall.
And for fifth grader Bianca Lebron, at the Sea Lab classroom, she said there's definitely something that peaked her interest in wind power.
"We were learning about the wind and how fast it is, and it creates electricity, and it was pretty amazing," she said.
The first commercial offshore windfarm is set to break ground at the end of this year with at least three more planning to follow. When they come online, the hope is there'll be a workforce ready to keep the blades spinning.

Today may feel like old times for Minnesota's Tubby Smith and Florida's Billy Donovan. They certainly are familiar with each other.
The two coaches have three national championships between them and a history of intense head-to-head competition in the Southeastern Conference dating to the late 1990s when Smith was at Georgia and Kentucky and Donovan started at Florida.
They'll renew the rivalry for one game when Donovan's Gators (27-7), the No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament South Regional, face Smith's No. 11 Gophers (21-12). The winner advances to the round of 16.
Smith, who left Kentucky for Minnesota in 2007, said he's glad to see Donovan again because it means he's got his team playing at a high level. The Gophers' 83-63 win Friday night over UCLA was his first NCAA tournament victory in six years at Minnesota. The Gators are a perennial national power.
"We have had our battles," Smith said Saturday. "If you're going up against him, you know your team has probably risen to that level of good play."
Smith and Donovan knocked heads for a decade while leading two of the premiere programs in the country. Smith won a national title with Kentucky Wildcats in 1998. Donovan won two with the Gators in 2006 and 2007. They haven't faced each other in six years.
And long before they were rivals, they were partners as Kentucky assistants under Rick Pitino from 1989-1991.
Smith noted that when they first met, Donovan was an eager youngster learning the job -- one nickname was "Billy the Kid" -- and now he's the most successful coach in the SEC.
"I know he's the dean, so he's getting older now," Smith joked. "What Billy's been able to do at Florida has been outstanding. Florida's a program that really wasn't noted for its basketball and he's taken it to unbelievable heights."
Donovan said both coaches learned something from Pitino they carry to this day. "The one thing is probably trying to get players to play together ... understanding that there's a greater good when everybody's sacrificing together," Donovan said.
By straight numbers, Smith has a 14-10 edge over his old rival, but Donovan won the last six meetings.
Donovan said he remembers Smith's teams always being tough, disciplined and unselfish on offense. The Gophers have certainly shown their resilience while playing in the rugged Big Ten, a conference that already has two teams in the round of 16 -- Michigan State and Michigan -- and four more playing for a shot today.
Donovan seemed to downplay the coaching rivalry in the postseason.
"Even though it's Tubby on the other end of the sideline, I'm not watching him. I'm watching what's going on on the court," Donovan said. "All I can say is Tubby is a terrific coach, he's done a great job with his team."
Minnesota fans weren't so sure about that when the tournament began. After a 15-1 start, the Gophers slid through a 5-11 finish. They hadn't won a game since March 2 until beating UCLA and there had been speculation in the Twin Cities that Smith may be coaching for his job.
Smith may have dampened the criticism with the win over UCLA, where Bruins coach Ben Howland was facing his own critics back home.
Smith, Donovan old friends, rivals
Today may feel like old times for Minnesota's Tubby Smith and Florida's Billy Donovan. They certainly are familiar with each other.

Stars Kaka and Neymar will take the spotlight alongside Falcao tomorrow…
Of the handful of players that achieve legendary status in football, very few manage the feat on their own.
Instead, team-mates are often the most crucial aspect of a star's ability to score goals, providing assists and creating space for the best in the world to take advantage of.
One player on the verge of achieving great things is Neymar, Brazil's magnificent young striker who has lit up the Brasileirao with Santos. He has proven himself capable of beating teams all on his own, but for Brazil it is different.
For Brazil, Neymar will have rely on his team-mates to create goalscoring opportunities against tougher opposition and, according to former national captain Gilberto Silva, Kaka is the perfect man to make Neymar a star.
"The pressure [on Neymar] is huge, and it would help to have some more experienced players around to take the focus off him," Gilberto told FIFA.com. "Of course I don't know what goes on in the Selecao on a day-to-day basis but, from the outside looking in, I'd suggest bringing in Kaka."
Gilberto clearly sees the potential in Neymar, who is one of the early favorites with Betfair football to carry off the golden boot at World Cup 2014. But he also appreciates the assist work Kaka brings to the Brazil squad is crucial for the striker's development.
One legend of the current game that benefits from his team-mates is Lionel Messi. While his mazy dribbles and pinpoint passing are a joy to behold, the Argentine wouldn't have scored half the goals he has without the assistance of Barcelona's fluent midfield: Xavi, Andreas Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas.
This can be said about other goalscoring greats, including Thierry Henry when at Arsenal, Raul at Real Madrid and Ronaldo during the '98 and 2002 World Cups. Like Messi, Neymar has the talent to take on the world but against top-class defenses will struggle to do it on his own. With the likes of Kaka back in the gold of Brazil, however, he has the team around him to achieve future legendary status.

Hello Fellow Airbnb Hosts,
I wanted to ask for your advice / thoughts...
I have just received an instant booking from a woman who has one BAD review associated with her profile. Upon reading, it would appear she was part of a larger group staying in someone's apartment. They arrived with MORE people than booked (8 rather than 6), and after a couple of days of bad behaviour, noise, disruption and upsetting the neighbours, they were asked to LEAVE.
The guest does NOT have a completed profile with a head shot / photo, gives no information about herself or the other two people joining her.
I always go with my gut reaction on these things and alarm bells are RINGING!!!
Would be great to get your thoughts, as I am always conscious of Airbnb's 'Approve / Decline' stance on bookings and feel it is quite negative in many situations. Forcing me to decline isn't always black and white i.e. a person recently requested to stay in my property but did not drive and we are very, very remote. They clearly had taken no time to read my listing. In this situation, I felt another property would be more suitable for their needs i.e. in a town or near public transport to ensure their stay was enjoyable.
If a request clearly is not a good fit (like the example you mentioned), you can iexplain it AND ask the guest to withdraw the request. Than a decline or approve is not necessary. I you recieved an Instant Booking you feel uncomfortable with, only option is cancellation by you (or by the guest if you have the "free cancelation within 48 hour" facility on your listing).
Best regards,
That's really helpful @Emiel1. I have never thought to ask a guest to withdraw their request. Airbnb make it impossible for guests to simply ask a question (without imposing an 'approve / decline' answer). I am getting more and more random requests too and have been struggling to navigate my way round them. I have Instant Book turned on but if I decline any request the next one that comes in, even if it's an Instant Book, requires me to approve or decline. As in this instance. They say there's no penalties for me declining guests I do not feel comfortable hosting but clearly there are!
It is possible for guests to only ask a question by clicking "contact host" on the listing. It will be received by you as an "inquiry" with options "pre-approve or decline". Answerring the question within the time limit is enough, no obligation to choose 1 of the options. Guests should choose this facility from the listing when they only want to ask something, but unfortunatelly most of them overlook this feature and are sending "requests". An "inquiry" is also not blocking calender dates (as request do), and have the advantage for hosts to be able to sent a special offer.
Oh okay. It appears I have been approving or declining 'inquiries'. I am therefore receiving emails from Airbnb asking "Can you host....?" when a guest books, with the following explanation given:
Why am I seeing this request?
We sometimes require hosts to accept a reservation request even when they have Instant Book turned on. You're most likely to see this when you haven't updated your calendar in a while or you've recently cancelled a reservation.
I then have to 'Accept' or 'Decline' these requests within 24 hours.
Due to my mother's ill health last year, I temporarily shut my listing down and did not take guests. I have only recently started back up again and it seems certain things have changed with the platform. These new quirks are causing me problems I have not experience before.
@Sarah327 Hi, yes my alarm bells would be ringing as well. Obviously we don' t know how much of the bad behaviour on the previous stay was hers, but she was involved in it and shares the responsibility. I would have a word with Airbnb and see if you can get a penalty free cancellation on the grounds that you would not feel comfortable with her as a guest. You could also edit your booking requirements so that you only allow people with positive reviews to make a reservation. Good luck.
Thanks @Rachel0, I most certainly will be speaking with Airbnb first thing tomorrow to get their thoughts / support. In the meantime, I have emailed the guest and asked them to provide a photo, tell me a bit more about themselves and who will be staying. Per Airbnb's 'trust and transparency' policy.
She responded quite quickly but denied all knowledge of the bad review. Stating she did not even stay with the party of 8. Her response does not feel wholly honest despite her answering my questions: photo uploaded and advised her sister, close friend (sex unknown) and she would be staying.
HI @Sarah327, I am confused by your post because if the guest booked via instant book there is no option for an accept or decline - they are automatically accepted and confirmed. It you feel uncomfortable with the confirmed reservation you will have to call Airbnb to cancel.
Personally, I have never canceled a reservation but I would probably cancel this one as a lesson to this guest that even if she specifically was not the one causing concern she was responsible for the group since it was booked under her name and she needs to own up to that.
Hi @Emilia42 it appears I have mistakenly 'accepted' or 'declined' inquiries. I am therefore being penalised by Airbnb as a result and receiving emails from them asking "Can you host....?" when a guest books - with the following explanation given:
Why am I seeing this request?
We sometimes require hosts to accept a reservation request even when they have Instant Book turned on. You're most likely to see this when you haven't updated your calendar in a while or you've recently cancelled a reservation.
I then have to 'Accept' or 'Decline' these requests within 24 hours, even if they have Instant Booked.
Given the guest's nonchalant response to the bad review on her profile and denials she even stayed at the listing, I think it wise to decline her request / booking.
If you don't want to cancel them, you can clarify your stance.
"You have 3 guests correct?"
"You understand no other guests are allowed?"
"Because you have a bad review, self-checkin will not be allowed."
"I do live next door and I will be vigilant"
You are welcome to cancel within 24 hours, all payment will be returned.
That's a great suggestion @Paul154. I will speak to Airbnb in the morning and talk through the issue with them, but then follow up with a similarly worded email to the guest. Ideally I want to put her off if she has no intention of following my house rules, is likely to cause upset to me and my neighbours (in our very small rural hamlet) and/or tries to bring extra guests.
I am so careful and conscious of following Airbnb's rules and ensuring my guests have an enjoyable, relaxing stay in my property, whilst balancing this with my own personal safety and security due to living onsite i.e. next door.
Thank you!
Omg @Sarah327 I fear that I would have panicked already. O kinda have a similar situation with a girl coming next March. But since the situations is not so dramatic I won't cancel the reservation.
I think that if you don't really care about becoming a superhost in the next future you could always cancel the reservation.
And maybe change your reservation rules, right?
Oh no @Lucia612, I am sorry to hear you're experiencing a similar situation with a guest. I hope my thread provides some help to you too!
I find it is always best to go with my gut when it comes to accepting or declining guests. But it also helps to speak to other hosts, more experienced or not, as well as family, friends and Airbnb. I am able to work through the situation and not make too rash a decision, in the limited (24 hr) response time imposed!
I have been a Super Host previously, before taking a break from hosting due to my mother's ill health. It is important to me to achieve this again. That said, I am not sure it is in preference to me ensuring my guests have a truely relaxing and restful stay in my property.
I will most certainly review my reservation rules, as suggested though, as I want to ensure they remain appropriate for my listing / property.
Thank you!
Hi Everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post and for all your great advice, which Airbnb have completely agreed with following my conversation with them this morning.
I have subsequently declined the guest's booking... BUT she has now used a friend to book on her behalf! Foolishly I had a feeling she might do this, as clearly she cannot take no as an answer.
I have gone back to the friend to ask for the names of the people in her party. Her response should be interesting!
Another telephone call to Airbnb about this and they have again advised me to cancel the booking.
This behaviour is particularly astounding given that Airbnb is founded on 'trust and transparency' and these guests are being anything but.
Will keep you updated on the outcome!

Watching this is painful… only because it's not actually that hard to imagine:
So much of my life is calculated in how much (or how little)
latency there is… how fast or how slow things are to react to the things that I want to react to.
And, I'm happiest when things move at the speed and rate that I expect them to move as well, but, that's not always under my own control.
My life (and our world) has a ton of natural limitations which we all seem to be trying to circumvent or somehow "hack" our way through. Instead, perhaps, we need to acknowledge, and perhaps even learn to love, the limitations that are in our lives that force us to slow down, introspect a bit more, and see the greater opportunities for understanding.
One can see life is a series of elements that are either going faster than you want or slower than you need – which can make for a pretty depressing life if that's where you ultimately land and if you can't dislodge yourself from that thinking.
Rather, if you remove
time from the equation (which is hard to do!) then you'll be much more relaxed. Trust me, I know.

DMW star Peruzzi misses his late mom so much, hence he wrote an emotional letter to her one year after she passed on.
It's been one year since Peruzzi lost his dear mother and frankly a lot of great things have happened in his life in the past 12 months. Unfortunately she isn't around to share or see those moments.
The "Pocket" crooner penned down a heartfelt letter stating how he felt and how much has happened in her absence. Getting signed to Davido's DMW & collaborating with 2Baba are some of the highlight shared in the letter.

From "The Chimes of Big Ben," some rare candor from Number 2 transcends the simple question of which side runs the village.
- Number Two: I am definitely an optimist. That's why it doesn't matter who Number One is. It doesn't matter which "side" runs the Village.
- Number Six: It's run by one side or the other.
- Number Two: Oh certainly, but both sides are becoming identical. What in fact has been created is an international community — perfect blueprint for world order. When the sides facing each other suddenly realize that they're looking into a mirror, they will see that this is the pattern for the future.
- Number Six: The whole Earth as the Village?
- Number Two: That is my hope. What's yours?
- Number Six: I'd like to be the first man on the moon.
Some 40 years ago Patrick McGoohan's 'The Prisoner' predicts and explains the New World Order to a tee. Note the quip about being the first man on the moon – an event that was to occur just two years after this episode was broadcast.

How do literary works illustrate Japan's evolving relationship with the West in the modern era? Through poetry, prose, and visual art since 1868, we will reflect on the ways in which Japan has affected and been affected by the West in order to develop a more nuanced understanding of social, aesthetic, and geopolitical issues that inform the importation, re-contextualization, and rewriting of western ideas. This course is designed for students interested in broadening their knowledge through an understanding of a tradition different from their own, as well as for students who wish to compare literature they have studied with that of Japan.

Tibet's importance as earth's third pole raised at COP15 for first time at international climate change forum
December 15, 2009
By cratke
Created 12/10/2009 - 14:27
International Campaign for Tibet
10 December, 2009
For the first time at a major international forum on climate change,
Tibetans will be present at the COP15 summit in Copenhagen this week to
present new information about the global implications of climate change
in Tibet.
For the first time at a major international forum on climate change,
Tibetans will be present at the COP15 summit in Copenhagen this week to
present new information about the global implications of climate change
in Tibet.
Tibet, the world's largest and highest plateau, is the 'world's third
pole' because it contains the biggest ice fields outside of the Arctic
and Antarctic. The Tibetan plateau is warming twice as fast as the rest
of the world and the impact of melting glaciers could be catastrophic.
No other area in the world is a water repository of such size, serving
as a lifeline for much of a continent and for millions of people. The
sustainable management of Tibet has become a
serious security issue in the region.
At COP15, Tibetans working for the Tibetan exile government and NGOs in
Dharamsala, India, will report on how China's policies in Tibet are
contributing to the warming of the plateau and excluding Tibetans from
the stewardship of their land. The principal finding of their reporting
is that Tibetan nomads are being settled and displaced from the
grasslands in a misguided attempt to reduce desertification. This goes
against the latest scientific research that states that livestock
mobility is critical to the health of the grasslands and that grazing
can mitigate the negative warming effects on the rangelands. Tibetans'
knowledge of their land represents the best hope of preserving a fragile
high-altitude ecosystem that is of vital importance not only to Tibetans
but also to China and the rest of the world.
"The impact of climate change and ecological depletion on the Tibetan
plateau is now a global issue. China's policies must be called to
account and as a matter of urgency Tibetans should be involved in the
decision-making and management of Tibet's natural resources. We are also
calling for an independent, international scientific assessment of
Tibet's ecosystem and current land-use policies.
Cooperation of all stakeholders from Tibetan nomads to Chinese
scientists and representatives of countries downstream that depend on
Tibet's water - is essential given the scale of the threat before us."
ICT will also be present at Copenhagen, and its briefing paper on
climate change in Tibet and its global implications is available at:
