populist and polarizing campaign in your classrooms and well update this post with your answers After Nov 8 Related Article Eric Thayer for The New York Times Related Article Eric Thayer for The New York Times Donald John Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States on Nov 8 in a stunning culmination of an explosive populist and polarizing campaign that took relentless aim at the institutions and longheld ideals of American democracy As Peter Baker writes in Donald Trumps Victory Promises to Upend the International Order Donald J Trump s stunning election victory on Tuesday night rippled way beyond the nations boundaries upending an international order that prevailed for decades and raising profound questions about Americas place in the world For the first time since before World War II Americans chose a president who promised to reverse the internationalism practiced by predecessors of both parties and to build walls both physical and metaphorical Mr Trumps win foreshadowed an America more focused on its own affairs while leaving the world to take care of itself The outsider revolution that propelled him to power over the Washington establishment of both political parties also reflected a fundamental shift in international politics evidenced already this year by events like Britain s referendum vote to leave the European Union Mr Trumps success could fuel the populist nativist nationalist closedborder movements already so evident in Europe and spreading to other parts of the world And in Donald Trumps Revolt the Times Editorial Board writes By challenging every norm of American politics Mr Trump upended first the Republican Party and now the Democratic Party which attempted a Clinton restoration at a moment when the nation was impatient to escape the status quo Misogyny and racism played their part in his rise but so did a fierce and even heedless desire for change That change has now placed the United States on a precipice Do you agree Students what do you think a Trump presidency means for you your community our country and our world What questions does it raise What do you predict will happen in the days and weeks to come Advertisement Teachers we also invite you to let us know how you will be teaching about this stunning culmination of an explosive populist and polarizing campaign and we will update this post with your answers For example Lisa Emmerich of WinstonSalem NC writes What are the most important qualities of a national leader Seventhgrade students in my World Cultures class wrote for ten minutes about that prompt as soon as they walked into the room today One of the essential questions around which I build my course is What makes a good leader and how do leaders come to power Situating the election results within that framework made sense After students wrote about the prompt we went around the room and shared one quality each We used those qualities to write a letter to the president elect expressing our hopes and dreams for Another teacher Diane Shires said on our Facebook page that she will be showing this TED talk Can a Divided America Heal to her high school students She adds My junior AP Language class here in California had a class discussion about empathy and perspectives that are so different between the two parties as well as in America as a whole Many of my students were grieving as supporters of Clinton and confused We cited quotes from the TED talk that we felt were important this morning and the students gave their perspective on what ideas and issues were important We will continue our discussion next week and work to write research papers on understanding what divides our country in regard to race gender politics and such We also Rachel Piven a teacher in New York City tells us In my Bronx classroom we used Nov 9 and 10 to process I gave students prompts they wrote and then they shared words lines or phrases which naturally led to more responses Then we wrote some more talked some more etc The questions included Round 1 How are you feeling now You might feel proud or you might feel scared you might feel excited or you might feel sad whatever youre feeling let it flow onto the paper so youre in a place to share think and move forward Round 2 Choice depending on what you need a What do you think may happen What are you afraid of What are you looking forward to b What does power mean to you How does this election make you feel empowered or disempowered Round 3 We all need to remember that as powerless as we may feel as insert age we arent helpless We have influence in our homes our communities our schools our neighborhoods What can we do here and now and in the future to make our spaces safe to make our world a safe place for everyone To make it what we want it to be Brainstorm on paper then well make a class poster The kids who usually hate to write and talk throughout wrote diligently and with intense focus While they shared I used the smart board and computer to pull up graphics or facts to factcheck and to illustrate or explain what they didnt understand At some point in the discussion they became aware that at least some of what they said was not borne out by what they were seeing This led us to discuss the need to question everything to research and crossreference to believe anything they choose but to look for evidence before they form an opinion They loved They came up with great lists ranging from researching to voting to praying to talking to bullies if they seemed not to realize that they were hurting people to standing next to someone being bullied to protesting to petitioning to becoming doctors lawyers or teachers to help peopleWe all needed to end on a positive empowering note What are

questionable And as television news gears up for 2016s big finale an intense public distrust in the media is threatening the networks traditional role as election night scorekeeper writes The Times

ScalzoEuropean Pressphoto Agency An early voting polling place at the Chevy Chase Community Center in Washington last month Related Article Jim Lo ScalzoEuropean Pressphoto Agency Donald Trump has claimed that the election is rigged against him alleging that a conspiracy is underway between the news media and the Democratic Party to commit vast election fraud He has offered no evidence to support his claim however and Republican leaders and election officials from both parties have sought to combat that message As this article explains American elections are unlike those in many democracies largely decentralized rendering the possibility of largescale fraud extraordinarily unlikely Further the balloting in many of the hardestfought states will be overseen by Republican officials individuals who would be highly unlikely to consent to helping Mrs Clinton rig the vote There is however evidence that some state election officials have attempted to make voting more difficult for specific groups For example a federal appeals court struck down a North Carolina law this summer saying its provisions deliberately target AfricanAmericans with almost surgical precision in an effort to depress black turnout at the polls The Times also reports that federal and state officials facing the possibility of a determined cyberthreat for the first time are focusing on five possible ways the election could be hacked Here is a look at their biggest concerns which include an internet disruption more WikiLeaks releases and the possibility that a foreign power e could interfere with voter registration rolls As you watch on election night and follow the news in the days after look for and evaluate claims that this election was in any way tampered with What is the

Opinion Gray Matter Video Games Arent Addictive Video Games Arent Addictive By Christopher J Ferguson and Patrick Markey April 1 2017 Brandon Celi Brandon Celi Is video game addiction a real thing Its certainly common to hear parents complain that their children are addicted to video games Some researchers even claim that these games are comparable to illegal drugs in terms of their influence on the brain that they are digital heroin the neuroscientist Peter C Whybrow or digital pharmakeia the neuroscientist Andrew Doan The American Psychiatric Association has identified internet gaming disorder as a possible psychiatric illness and the World Health Organization has proposed including gaming disorder in its catalog of mental diseases along with drug and alcohol addiction This is all terribly misguided Playing video games is not addictive in any meaningful sense It is normal behavior that while perhaps in many cases a waste of time is not damaging or disruptive of lives in the way drug or alcohol use can be Lets start with the neuroscientific analogy that the areas in the brain associated with the pleasures of drug use are the same as those associated with the pleasures of playing video games This is true but not illuminating These areas of the brain those that produce and respond to the neurotransmitter dopamine are involved in just about any pleasurable activity having sex enjoying a nice conversation eating good food reading a book using methamphetamines The amount of dopamine involved in these activities however differs widely Playing a video game or watching an amusing video on the internet causes roughly about as much dopamine to be released in your brain as eating a slice of pizza By contrast using a drug like methamphetamine can cause a level of dopamine release 10 times that or more On its own the fact that a pleasurable activity involves dopamine release tells us nothing else about it Advertisement A largescale study of internetbased games recently published in the American Journal of Psychiatry bears out our skepticism about this addiction Using the American Psychiatric Associations own metrics for ascertaining psychiatric disorder the studys researchers found that at most 1 percent of video game players might exhibit characteristics of an addiction and that the games were significantly less addictive than say gambling More damning the study found that almost none of those classified as being possibly addicted to video games experienced negative outcomes from this addiction That is the mental physical and social health of these potential addicts was not different from that of individuals who were not addicted to video games This suggests that the diagnosis of addiction doesnt make much sense to begin with Indeed the biggest difference between addicts and nonaddicts that the study found was that the addicts played more video games This is a diagnosis that verges on mere tautology The risk here of course is that by treating the immoderate playing of video games as an addiction we are pathologizing relatively normal behavior Consider a common diagnostic question used to help identify addiction such as I always use X to relax after a bad day Well if X is methamphetamine thats a worrisome choice one that presumably indicates addiction But if X is playing video games how is that different from unwinding after work by knitting watching sports or playing bridge We dont deny that new technologies come with some perils We understand the nostalgia for the halcyon days of say the 1950s when people were not yet bound to their personal technology and were free to enjoy the simpler pleasures of life like stickball and climbing trees and getting polio and having to wait in line at the bank to check your account balance Advertisement We doubt most people would actually want to return to the good old days We and our children are addicted to new technologies because for the most part they improve our lives or are simply pleasurable Evidence for addiction to video games is virtually nonexistent Thats not to say we and our children dont need to balance technology use with exercise proper sleep and the responsibilities we have in real life But indulging in panic about technology or nostalgia for a better past that never really existed does us no good Christopher J Ferguson a professor of psychology at Stetson University and Patrick Markey a professor of psychology at Villanova are the authors of Moral Combat Why the War on Video Games Is Wrong Follow The New York Times Opinion section on and Twitter NYTopinion and sign up for the Opinion Today newsletter A version of this article appears in print on April 1 2017 on Page SR 6 of the New York edition with the headline Video Games Arent Addictive Order Reprints Todays Paper Advertisement

Should you go to Florida or California to visit Disney or Universal Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World is the centerpiece of the theme park and is the entrance to Fantasyland It stands 189feet tall more than 100 feet taller than the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland and 42feet taller than Disneylands Matterhorn Most of the exterior is made of fiberglass no bricks were used in the construction of the castle Photo by Mark Eades Orange County RegisterSCNG 0 Comments By Mark Eades meadesscngcom Orange County Register PUBLISHED March 21 2017 at 1217 pm UPDATED May 18 2017 at 1244 pm Time to plan your next family vacation Are they all clamoring to go see Harry Potter and Mickey Mouse and live animals on land and in the sea Then you have a choice to make Florida or California But which Both have theme parks resort hotels sunshine and lots of ways to spend money Your choice of what to do and where to stay impacts the cost so here is an analysis of both to help you decide Whats the weather like in Florida and California Florida is generally warmer all year long but it is also wetter than California with daily rain showers throughout the year especially in the summer months Because of that rain most of the Florida parks are designed with the rides being under cover and it is accepted and expected for all to carry an umbrella and a poncho In January there are occasional nearfreezing days Florida is also very humid especially during the late spring and summer months no need for a jacket in the evenings California does get rain but usually only in the winter and early spring That rain is usually not that bad though occasionally there are down pours that go on for hours the past year has been exceptional for that Because the rain is significantly less in California many rides are outdoors including the queue lines So when it rains it can have an impact The plus side is that on those days the theme parks are less crowded Though it is called Sunny Southern California always have a jacket handy except for heat waves it can get cool in the evenings and at night during the summer season Do you need to rent a car to get around Southern California or Florida California is all about the freeways The Disneyland Resort with its two parks is in Anaheim Universal is in Los Angeles Knotts Berry Farm is in Buena Park SeaWorld is in San Diego Legoland is in Carlsbad while the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is inland from there They are all about one hour or so apart not because of distance but drive time All are conveniently located near freeway off ramps mostly Interstate 5 There are some mass transit options such as the Metrolink but they take some investigating as to the station stops and getting from them to Florida is similar think Interstate 4 but there are some differences There is basically one airport Orlando International But it is geared and designed to handle tourists If staying on property at Disney or Universal or even at one of the SeaWorld partner hotels taking a shuttle is probably the best choice Disney even has its own Magical Express Bus that will take you and your luggage to and from its hotels and the airport and it comes free with the hotel reservation for the entire party Disney and Universal have their own internal transportation systems to move guests around What hotel options are in Orlando and around Southern California theme parks In Florida Disney and Universal have several themed hotels on property to choose from with room rates ranging in value from moderate to high end Legoland has one with a variety of themed rooms There are also a large number of partner hotels for all the theme parks and many many more around Orlando for every size budget In California Disney has three hotels on property and there are a number of other hotels and motels in the immediate area with a variety of room rates Universal has a few partner hotels near its theme park Knotts has one adjacent to the park Legoland has one themed hotel on its property and is building another What theme parks are there in Southern California and Florida Both states have nearly the same amount of theme parks to visit with a few differences In Florida Disney has four theme parks while in California two In Florida Universal has two theme parks in California just one SeaWorld in Florida has its main park with all the shows and rides plus a water park and a unique experience called Discovery Cove SeaWorld in San Diego is similar to the one in Florida and also has a water park named Aquatica in nearby Chula Vista The Legolands in both states are comparable California has two large zoos one in San California has a thrill seekers park in its Six Flags Magic Mountain Florida has thrill rides at Busch Gardens in nearby Tampa Bay What are the other attractions nearby in Orlando and around Southern California Florida has the Kennedy Space Center Daytona Beach Daytona Racetrack warm tropical beaches and a few hours south the Everglades National Park and Miami Beach California has Hollywood two harbors with Naval ships available for tours mountains beaches and a few hours away Yosemite

Incredible Revenge Against a Phone Thief With that message the victim has become the slightly terrifying perpetrator Its like that old Klingon proverb Revenge is a dish best served via text message

pants with more secure pockets 7 The Victim Who Used a Sexy Decoy to Lure a Fugitive When wanted fugitive Randall Goins was being hauled through Seatac airport by Bounty Hunters live on KIRO 7 W Goins

decoy on Facebook He owes me 3500 in unpaid wages said Victoria Laird Cortes who worked for one of Goins debt collection services Even though he was gone I knew he was still on Facebook under his own name Cortes said The alluring fictitious decoy was named Tatiana La Coneja which is Spanish for The Rabbit She was invented by Cortes who assembled composites of sexy comehither poses of women from Puerto Rico Tatiana described herself as a model and an exotic dancer I sent him a friend request and he accepted within two minutes Cortez said Goins flirted with Tatiana for days making offers to meet her and sending pictures of himself holding wads of cash Cortes figured Goins set up another business in Florida under another name Cortes used the Facebook page to get control back offering to meet him at the Fort Lauderdale airport When he took the bait she says she tipped off bounty hunters to capture him 8 The TV Show that Staged a Trap to Catch WouldBe Robbers A while ago the British TV

Wednesday 23 May 2018 251 a litre NZs most expensive petrol Business 1 Comment A national survey of petrol prices has confirmed Wanaka motorists are paying among the most and Queenstown Lakes Mayor Jim Boult says its residents are being stung with horrifying prices at the pump A NZ Herald found motorists in the south were being stung with higher prices than elsewhere in New Zealand with the 245 a litre charged in Wanaka only surpassed by stations in Waiheke Island selling petrol for 251 a litre this morning Pumping up the price of petrol in the South Down south seven petrol stations were selling 91 for more than 230 a litre yesterday and two were selling at 245 a litre reports the Otago Daily Times Mr Boult told RNZ last night that prices in the pump in the Queenstown Lakes were horrifying Price increases in recent times in our part of the world have been three times what they have been in centres further north and I just cant understand it I think we are suffering from a relatively small population a few number of gas stations where competition is perhaps less I think we are being punished for that Mr Boult said He said people in the area were very grumpy about how much they were paying They are reading the fact that folk elsewhere in the country are paying a whole lot less I filled up one of my vehicles the other night and I had to take a double take when I looked at the pump to see what it was costing me It was horrifying Yesterday the New Zealand Herald asked NZME staffers across the country to send photos of prices at the pump in their towns and cities to see how they fared The unscientific survey received more than 100 responses and was enacted after fuel prices hit 230 at some stations yesterday the most it has ever cost in NZ The previous high of 227 a litre was reached in 2013 and some are now warning fuel could hit 3 a litre in the notsodistant future Consumer New Zealand says record high petrol prices could backfire on fuel companies if nothing is done to bring them down Meanwhile the Automobile Association AA is urging the Government to cut 10c of tax off the price per litre immediately The Herald survey followed confirmation from AA figures that showed the price of 91 has risen by nearly 20 cents a litre since January when it was 212 a litre The results showed 91 octane prices varied from as cheap as 193 or as expensive as 229 As many as 13 petrol stations were selling 91 octane for 229 per litre and were mainly in the South Island The cheapest of all was Gull Rotorua which was selling 91 for 193 per litre one of only four stations in the survey selling fuel for under 2 a litre The AAs Mark Stockdale said the Government had the power to bring prices down Taxes including a nearly 60c per litre excise made up a large chunk of fuel prices something many motorists may not realise he said Stockdale wanted the Government to stop charging GST on fuel excise a move which would see prices drop 10c a litre immediately Asked if the Government would look at the fuel taxes in light of the increase Finance Minister Grant Robertson said the focus was ensuring anticompetitive behaviour was not contributing to ratcheting up the price Following the Herald roundup readers got in touch to say theyd spied even higher prices at their local pump Several mentioned skyrocketing prices on Waiheke

My

Day

Fix

recipes

last

year

was

so

popular

that

I

knew

I

had

to

do

another

round

up

of

Day

Fix

Recipes

I

can

not

eat

grilled

chicken

and

broccoli

everyday

so

I

love

having

a

list

of

great

recipes

for

actual

meals

Not

just

healthy

ingredients

I

am

not

the

kind

of

girl

who

can

eat

plain

food

everyday

I

love

the

concept

of

clean

eating

but

that

doesnt

mean

that

your

food

needs

to

be

plain

and

boring

I

know

that

the

diet

and

workouts

really

worked

me

and

helped

me

to

feel

great

so

I

hoped

that

it

helped

other

people

too

I

referenced

my

round

up

of

recipes

for

meal

ideas

but

what

I

didnt

expect

was

that

so

many

of

you

would

reference

it

too

That

page

gets

more

hits

than

all

my

other

pages

combined

every

single

day

I

am

compiling

more

recipes

that

can

be

used

on

the

Day

Fix

or

are

just

great

for

anyone

trying

to

clean

up

their

diet

I

hope

these

Ten

Family

Friendly

helps

you

feel

inspired

about

eating

healthy

and

that

you

get

some

great

new

to

try

Clean

is

so

important

after

I

you

will

love
