After months of keeping mum on the issue, comedian Dennis Padilla finally broke his silence on that her currently popular daughter Julia Barretto has filed a petition to change her name and drop his last name.
In an interview with Startalk which aired on Saturday, Dennis confirmed the circulating rumor that his daughter Julia, whose real name is Julia Francesca Barretto Baldivia, has filed a petition at a family court to change her name and drop Baldivia.
Upon hearing about the rumor, Dennis said that he initially didn't react thinking that his daughter won't push through with such decision. However after a while he decided to confirm it by sending a representative to the Quezon City Hall's family court.
"Tapos ang sabi sa akin, sabi dun sa inutusan ko na hindi naman daw ako party dun sa petition so kahit wala akong kopya okey lang. Sabi ko hindi ganun 'yon, kasi sigurado [ako] sa petition nakalagay yung Dennis Baldivia as father, so party ako sa petition," he said.
Later on, Dennis revealed that he received a copy of the petition and learned that it has been filed in the court August of last year. After a month of pondering, Dennis shared that he originally didn't want to intervene with the petition.
"Tapos later on, close friends and family sinabi sakin 'Dennis ilaban mo 'yung family name mo kasi tatay ka niya eh.' Dugo ko siya eh. So sabi ko magmo-motion tayo," said the Bride for Rent actor.
But before things could even go any further, Dennis shared that he tried to talk about the subject with Julia during one of their phone conversations. But according to him, the young Kapamilya star who was very busy taping at that time, asked that they just discuss it some other time.
Meanwhile, early on the topic, Dennis admitted that he initially thought that it's acceptable for Julia to change her last name because "marami rin akong pagkukulang." These shortcomings he says started when his political career ended and his showbiz career somehow became unstable.
"Eventually, nitong past three years, talagang hindi na ako nakapagbigay" he recalled.
Despite that fact personally though he says, "I think she should retain my name because anak kita eh."
For what it's worth, he even remarked that the petition was somehow unnecessary since, Julia will eventually change her name anyway when she gets married.
He added, "Kapag nagkaasawa siya, nagkaanak siya, doon niya malalaman yung importansya ng ipinaglalaban ko."
With that he shared that his petition to intervene is currently in court. However, even if he hopes to halt the changing of Julia's name, he claims that he would willingly accept whatever the court would decide and not harbor any ill feelings towards his daughter.
The only thing that would happen though is: "Siguro magkakaroon ka lang ng pain na habambuhay mong dadalhin pero yung pagmamahal pareho pa rin."
In the end, he appealed to his former wife Marjorie not to let the kids get tangled into their fray and even opined that using Baldivia in the Mirabella star's official records won't hurt that much since her screen name is already Barretto.
For Julia though his parting message was: "Julia, lahat kayong mga anak ko mahal ko kayong pantay-pantay. Hindi mo kailangan 'to, mas kailangan mo galingan yung pag-aartista."

Framed by a church built c. 1886, Nevado Sajama (21,464 ft above sea level) rises behind the village of Sajama in western Bolivia. Ice cores taken from the summit detail global-scale changes in climate.
Ice cores recently recovered from high-elevation sites within the Tropics are providing long, detailed records of past climate. These histories contain information about global-scale changes in climate as well as environmental changes in areas where most human activities occur.
Climatic information is reconstructed from ice cores by analysis of geochemical measurements made sequentially down-core, including oxygen isotopic ratios, chemistry, and the concentration of dust. Two ice cores were drilled to bedrock (each 435 ft) in July 1997 at the summit of an ice cap in the Andes of Bolivia, by Dr. Lonnie Thompson, The Ohio State University, and his team. Climatologists from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) are collaborating with these scientists to document the ice cap climate, and to better understand the atmospheric sources of geochemical variability in snow accumulating at the site.
In support of the ice core calibration, weather stations are operating near the drill site on Sajama (21,464 ft.; 18°06’S and 68°53’W), the highest peak in Bolivia, and on Nevado Illimani (20,555 ft.; 16°39’S and 67°47’W), which is 200 km essentially upwind of Sajama. Both stations measure snow accumulation and ablation hourly, along with snow temperature and a variety of meteorological variables. Analysis of these data is closely tied to the results of annual snowpack studies carried out in the vicinity of the stations, and with data from NCEP global analyses (National Centers for Environmental Protection of NOAA).
The design of these stations required balancing competing goals. For example, global solar irradiance can exceed 1100 W m-2 at mid-day, requiring mechanical aspiration of the temperature and humidity sensors. While abundant radiation could easily provide continuous power to the fans, we limited the system design to two 10W solar panels to reduce wind loading.
Consequently, the fans are operated for only one minute out of every ten. Both stations are designed around CR10X dataloggers. Data are stored on-site in the dataloggers and on SM716 storage modules, and both sites use GOES telemetry to deliver data in near-real time to UMass. The Sajama station maximizes CR10X capacity, with duplicates of most sensors and an AM416 multiplexer for thermistors and thermocouples.
Installing and servicing the stations has been an adventure – it is no mystery to us why so few weather stations operate at high altitudes. Upon arrival at the summits, one’s first inclination is not to dig down six feet through wind-packed snow in search of the enclosures. Several nights are spent at the summit on each visit, often in winds so strong that flapping tents preclude conversation. Prior to departure, a call to UMass by satellite phone provided a reassuring check on satellite telemetry.
The performance of the stations has been quite remarkable. To date after 26 months, the Sajama record for most variables is 100 percent complete. This is in spite of unusually heavy accumulation (13 ft.) during the 1996-97 wet season.
Data from the stations now encompasses one of the most significant El Niño events of the century, and are providing valuable insight into the record of tropical ice cores.
Further details on the stations, and first-year results, are available in the September 1998 issue of the American Meteorological Society Bulletin, and from our website at www.geo.umass.edu/climate/bolivia.html. We would like to acknowledge the financial support of NOAA, logistical help from Carlos Escobar, and the devotion of Campbell engineers.
Read this case study to learn how high-altitude weather stations support research on climate change and ice cores.

We take exceptional pride in the whole grain flours we produce. Our micronizer mill produces a homogenous flour at cool temperatures. Our flour is considerably drier than most other commercial flour because we do not temper (add water) to our wheat before milling as is the normal custom. It should be noted that flour produced from tempered wheat is approximately 14% moisture while our flour contains approximately 10% moisture. Not only does this provide more net flour per pound to the buyer, it enhances the shelf life of the product. Milling extremely dry wheat causes the bran to be pulverized into much smaller particles which will provide a much finer texture for the end product.
Our whole grain flour typically have a shelf life of 6 months. In a dry cool environment our whole grain flours will keep for up to a year. High humidity shortens shelf life.

So sad to lose such a man...His work really had a positive impact on the world. Once I began gaming in 1989 I stopped partying and became totally addicted to Mario and Zelda...Almost named my daughter Zelda!
My daughter was heavily influenced by Nintendo games from birth. I played Super Metroid, Super Mario, Zelda constantly and she loved the colors, the action, the music and now she is such a talented artist with a vast collection of action figures and games..
I know a lot of people think video gaming destroyed our children but I feel differently. I gave a subscription of Nintendo Power Magazine to 2 young boys who had trouble learning to read and those magazines gave them the reason to read. They wanted to know what those words were telling them so they could beat the bosses.

San Diego, CA – July 15, 2003 – EyeTracking, Inc. (ETI) announced today the completion of their CCAT funded research project for Maxim Systems, Inc. The study investigated how users navigate and interact with the newly designed training software for the INMARSAT satellite phone used by the US Navy. The study was funded by the Center of Commercialization of Advanced Technology (CCAT) to provide ETI with essential marketing tools for their advanced user-interface evaluation technology.
EyeTracking's technology can evaluate in real-time where an individual is looking for critical information and how much mental effort is involved as they complete the task. EyeTracking’s specialized form of interface testing helps to ensure lower cognitive workloads for enabling technologies, such as software or advanced displays.
Maxim Systems, also located in San Diego, provided ETI with the opportunity to evaluate critical software prior to its final release to the Navy Fleet. The objectives of the case study were to evaluate the usability and functionality of the software and to evaluate the effectiveness as a learning tool over the current training manual. The metrics incorporated for this study were newly developed, patented measures based on eye movements: the Index of Cognitive Activity (ICA), an objective, physiological based measure of cognitive workload, and point of gaze, a real-time measure of where the user is looking. The ICA provides an independent assessment of the efficacy of the new training system and measures value added to operator performance by well-designed software.
Usability issues identified by this study were implemented in time for the final release of the software. The client was assured that the software meets the highest standards of usability. The ICA results provide Maxim Systems, and their client, with solid evidence proving the effectiveness of the CBT over the traditional manual as a learning tool for Navy personnel.
For more information about the case study, please visit the newly redesigned and recently launched website at www.eyetracking.com and go to User Interface Solutions.
MAXIM Systems provides the development, testing, maintenance, analysis, scheduling, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), and delivery of programs and materials to support a wide variety of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) in government and related commercial programs.

Endcaps are used to cover the inside material of a countertop.
The availability of laminate countertops is plentiful in today's society. The multiple colors and finishes of the laminate allow homeowners the opportunity to install a countertop that compliments their decor. Many home improvement centers have sections of laminate countertops for sale and will cut the sections to the desired dimensions. The material on the inside of the countertop is exposed during the cutting process. Cover the cut area with a laminate endcap that matches the surface of the laminate countertop.
Place the countertop on a flat and stable work surface. Position the countertop so the end requiring the endcap has easy access.
Cover the exposed end of the countertop with a layer of wood glue. Center and press the buildup strip into place. Secure the buildup strip to the end of the countertop using four, 1-inch wood screws. Wipe the excess glue from the edges of the endcap and the countertop surface, using a cloth.
Brush a layer of contact adhesive over the buildup strip and the back of the laminate endcap. Allow the contact adhesive to cure until it becomes very tacky. This will take between 10 to 20 minutes depending on the humidity and temperature of the room.
Center the endcap over the end of the counter and press it into place. Pay special attention to centering the endcap as once it is in place, it will not move.
Press and roll the endcap in place, using a seam roller or a wooden rolling pin. The rolling process moves trapped air bubbles and excess contact adhesive to the outside edges of the end piece. Allow the endcap to dry one to two hours before continuing.
Trim the excess laminate from the endcap. Apply a layer of petroleum jelly or other lubricant along the cutting line of the endcap to prevent friction burns. Cut through the laminate with a flush trim router bit.
Lightly file and round the cut edge, using a flat file. File toward the countertop to avoid cracking or chipping the laminate.
Wipe the endcap and surrounding area with adhesive solvent to remove excess wood glue, contact adhesive and petroleum jelly.
Custom-ordered laminate countertop will come with a buildup strip and laminate endcap. The pieces also are sold separately.
Wear safety goggles when cutting excess laminate from the endcap.

What will happen to my health insurance and retirement plans if my employer files for bankruptcy?
If the company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, it could end up restructuring, and your benefits may not be affected. But the employer is likely to cut back on some of your benefits even if it continues to operate.
On the other hand, if the company files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and shuts down, its benefits plans will be terminated. But several laws protect the benefits you've already accrued and can help you find health coverage.
Your 401(k) plan. Assets must be held in a separate trust that the employer -- or its creditors -- can't touch, regardless of the employer's financial situation. If your employer files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it could continue to administer its 401(k) plan, but it may discontinue matching contributions. However, there's nothing to protect you from any loss in value of the investments -- which can be a big problem if you have a lot of company stock. That's why it's important not to invest all of your 401(k) money into company stock.
If the company shuts down, the 401(k) plan will be terminated and the assets will be distributed to the participants. Then you can roll over the money into an IRA.
If you have problems accessing your money, contact the U.S. Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (866-444-3272; www.dol.gov/ebsa).
Your pension plan. When an employer files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court decides whether the company can continue to cover its pension obligations.
If the court decides that the company cannot pay the obligations, or if the company shuts down, then the pension plan will be terminated. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation guarantees the benefits up to $51,000 per person in 2008 (for people retiring at age 65; the guarantee is lower or higher for people retiring earlier or later). Contact the Pension Rights Center if you are having trouble receiving your pension.
Your health insurance. You may continue to get coverage if your employer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. If you lose your job but your employer is still offering health insurance to its employees, you can continue coverage in the group plan through COBRA for up to 18 months. Retirees can continue coverage through COBRA, too, if the employer stops offering coverage to them but continues offering it to current employees. You'll pay more under COBRA than what you paid for health insurance through your employer, so you might be able to find a better deal on your own if you're healthy. Check prices at eHealthInsurance.com, or find an agent to help through the National Association of Health Underwriters.
If the employer discontinues its health-insurance coverage, then you won't be able to get COBRA coverage. Instead, you may be able to sign up for your spouse's health-insurance plan even if it's not yet open-enrollment season (as long as you sign up within 30 days of losing your coverage).
If you can't get other coverage, then you may have the right to convert to an individual plan without preexisting-condition exclusions. The policy continuation rules vary by state; contact your state insurance department for details (go to the insurance page of Kiplinger.com for links).

No, but it is protected from them.

"The Patriots Are Great. Deal With It."
Charles Pierce at Slate.com argues that the American football world will just have to deal with the Patriots, now they have nearly sealed their amazing, record-setting season. We will never see anything this in the NFL ever again.
They are ludicrously better than 30 of the other teams in the league...And, best of all, they make all the right people angry.
That list starts, as it must, with the surviving members of the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins, who decided years ago to break the world record for being publicly grumpy old farts, a mark previously held jointly by the McLaughlin Group and any show Louis Rukeyser hosted alone. Bob Kuechenberg's opinion has been almost universally unsought for more than three decades, and the last person who truly cared what Mercury Morris said about anything was a judge. Yet, all season, the Patriots found themselves heckled by the NFL equivalents of Statler and Waldorf from the old Muppet Show. Go down to the Metamucil section of South Beach, the lot of you, and shut up.
I juts returned to the office to learn that the Redskins have made the playoffs. That's a good story, too.
But what the hell is this? What will the Giants win, exactly? Their next game? Well yes, they should. But that might be all. Bring on Tampa? All righty then.

Watch the videos above to learn more about our most recent propane rail terminal build for Crestwood Services in Montgomery, New York.
Superior led all efforts in the design, engineering, permitting, construction, startup and commissioning of the terminal. The facility, one of the largest in the country, occupies 20 acres and is equipped to store over 280,000 gallons of propane.
Superior provided all equipment necessary for the build of the terminal that contains 16 rail offloading stations on a continuous platform, operating two switches per day, which ensures a capacity of approximately 100 trucks per day or a volume of 1 million gallons. The four-spot truck rack with turbine pumps loads four trucks in 17 minutes, reducing wait times during peak winter months.
Learn more about our midstream capabilities by clicking here and view our complete midstream and industrial catalog by clicking here.
A propane terminal, or tank farm as they are often called, commonly refers to a large propane storage facility supplied by either rail or pipeline, and in rare instances by barge or ship. These terminals are designed and located to fill gaps in the pipeline supply infrastructure to get propane where it needs to be — to homeowners, businesses and farms.
We strategically engineer and build fully automated, secure and safe propane terminals that play a crucial role in efficiently delivering propane to underserved markets. Watch this video to learn more.
Each of our rail- and pipeline-supplied propane terminals are fully automated and can operate 24/7, making it easy for transport trucks and bobtails to fill at any time. Plus they are efficient, filling a transport truck or bobtail in 20 minutes or less, and multiple vehicles can be loaded simultaneously. Each propane terminal has unique storage and system requirements met by utilizing tanks of various capacities from 30,000 to 90,000 gallons. Click here to learn more about our turnkey project management for all types of terminal builds.
A rail-supplied terminal, also called rail in – truck out, is the most common type of propane terminal throughout the United States. Propane is transported into the trans-shipment terminal via railcars that carry in-excess of 30,000 gallons each. Propane is stored in tanks at the site and loaded into transport trucks and bobtails for delivery further down the supply chain.
Our rail-supplied propane terminals feature dual-sided rail towers with retractable arms that can efficiently unload two rail cars, including all vapor, in only two hours. We have designed hundreds of these systems. Our customers include: Farm & Home, Niagara Energy, LLC., Crestwood, CHS, Targa Resources, Plains LPG Services and Quarles Petroleum, Inc.
Pipeline supplied terminals receive propane, butane or other NGL’s form either a dedicated pipeline for these various NGL products or from a pipeline carrying multiple or refined products such as gasoline or diesel. These multi product pipelines sometimes “batch” propane to serve the needs of a particular terminal.
Our pipeline-supplied propane terminals have a direct pipeline connection, and remote start-stop control and level monitoring. You can learn about our our pipeline in – truck out projects with Duke Energy in LP Gas magazine, read this example with DCP Midstream or check out this bylined article about building a terminal in Midstream Business.
You depend on the efficiency and safety of your equipment to keep shipments of propane and other natural gas liquids moving to meet your customer needs. Our portable rail towers, or transloaders as they’re often called, are custom engineered to be safe and dependable and increase the efficiency of your operations.
Engineered to U.S. Transportation Department requirements, our transloader is the only unit that is total code-compliant. All transloaders feature remote pneumatic/electronic shutdown, pull-away protection for both rail and truck, leak-free breakaway protection, quick evacuation connections and remote emergency shutdowns, required by code. They can be chassis- or trailer-mounted, and configured for single or multiple rail cars. Whether you need a quick, on-site installation or a long-term solution, our trasnsloaders can be easily set up anytime and anywhere. At a fuel transfer rate of up to 10,000 gallons in 30 to 40 minutes, they are efficient and dependable.
Bulk plants are ideal for unloading railcars, fueling your bobtails and filling thousands of cylinders a day. We custom-design retail bulk plant facilities to your specific requirements. Whether you are building a new bulk plant or need to make changes to your current plant, our staff has decades of experience to help meet your needs.
Existing facility upgrades can make a big difference in plant performance. We can update your bulk plant to meet current compliance codes, increase storage, add rail towers, create greater pumping capacities and more.
We also can relocate your existing facility — whether to consolidate multiple plants or move to a new location to gain rail access. From the first plans to the final product, we will guide your team at every step.
Odorant skids provide the ability to inject specific quantities of ethyl mercaptan into non-odorized propane. We manufacture a skid mounted odorant injection system with or without product containment structure. The controlled metering system provides a documented record of the amount of odorant added, per code requirements, to a given quantity of propane.
We engineer a metering skid that can be dropped into your current loading configuration, maximizing the capabilities of your existing system. It can be as simple as a BOL ticket meter or include advanced features such as the ability to link to your inventory system or billing department. It can also be equipped to allow only pre-approved drivers to load vehicles.
We maintain a full inventory of spare parts used in the fabrication of our equipment, as well as most commonly ordered spare parts and kits. If you’ve purchased a system or specific equipment from us, we have spare parts readily available. We can also provide you spare parts lists and engineering assistance to help determine what part is needed. If you purchased equipment from another supplier and are in need of replacement or service parts, we can likely assist you as well.
Before you order a new propane tank for your project, consider saving time and money with a used tank. We often acquire used 18,000 to 90,000-gallon tanks when propane plants are dismantled or taken out of service, which may be ideal for your next project.

The Yongsan Electronics Market consists of approximately 5,000 stores spread over 20 buildings, selling every electronic item and accessory imaginable, and more. Located just southeast of the city center of Seoul, this enormous market is worth a visit if you want to keep up with the latest technologies.
Start your exploring in I’Park Mall. More conventional than most of the market, it has many of the facilities associated with a normal mall. It also houses the large E-Mart for a quick one-stop electrical shop. Pop into the food court to sample some tasty Korean food or even catch a movie.
Take the third floor connection from I’Park Mall to connect to Yongsan Terminal Mall. Here you find stores specializing in computers and computer-related products. This mall then leads on farther to more specialty areas of the market complex.
Browse through the different sections to find new, used and retro items. As well as the obvious computers, phones and cameras, you can find computer games and stereos. They even still sell CDs and DVDs. Local Korean brands are of course well represented but international brands are very easy to find as well. Accessories and spare parts are plentiful and real tech geeks can find everything necessary to build their own computer.
Do your research before you go and pick up the latest release or find something unique. Many stores have prices listed but a lot don’t. These stores can be a great opportunity to grab a bargain after a bit of haggling; don’t forget to take your time and have fun with it.
To get to the Yongsan Electronics Market, jump on Line 1 of Seoul’s convenient subway and head to Yongsan Station. Find exit 3 to enter the first mall of the complex. Being a public mall, entry is free.
Housing a huge range of outlets, trading hours vary. Most retailers keep open from mid morning until the early evening, 7 days of the week. Some stores are closed on the first and third Sundays or first, third and fifth Tuesdays of the month. It is recommended to check opening times before visiting if you wish to visit a particular store or section.

Apple will not be releasing an iPhone with 5G connectivity until late 2020 according to sources quoted in a report by Bloomberg, a not so surprising move considering Apple’s usual delay in adopting new mobile tech in the past.
If the rumors prove to be true, Cupertino will follow on the tracks of previous mobile tech adoption behavior from the past, seeing that they also postponed adding 3G and 4G radios in iPhone models it launched when the two techs were deployed.
This move will most probably allow rivals such as Samsung and Huawei to quickly gain market share on the short term since they will, in all likelihood, launch 5G-powered smartphones as soon as the new mobile network standard is available.

PLDT HOME unveils new TVolution Stick by Intel. A Game-changing computer on a stick with power-packed entertainment bundle. Now you can turn your TV to a Smart TV and get connected to the world!
Another innovation has surfaced under the belt of broadband and digital services leader PLDT HOME, and that is the new TVolution Stick in collaboration with multinational technology company Intel.
Taking off from the country’s first over-the-top (OTT) device TVolution—a small device which turns an ordinary TV into an Internet TV, the TVolution Stick takes it a step further by transforming any HDMI-ready TV or monitor into a fully operational computer. No bigger than a dongle, the TVolution Stick is based on the Intel Compute Stick and runs on Windows OS 8.1, letting users stream movies and videos, search the web, send and receive emails and do other activities that are normally done on a PC. Once again, PLDT HOME introduces another first to the OTT devices category in the country.
Offering integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies, the TVolution Stick sports a powerful quad-core Intel® Atom™ processor and Intel® HD Graphics to ensure smooth performance and vivid picture quality. Its pocket-sized body, designed to be portable and space-efficient, carries 32 GB storage, 2 GB memory, a USB 2.0 port and a Micro SD card slot. Users simply need to plug the TVolution Stick into the TV’s HDMI port to activate the computer on screen, and can easily charge it via DC wall charger or powerbank.
On a limited run only until November 30, new subscribers of DSL Plans 999 and up and all PLDT HOME Fibr plans who apply online (pldthome.com) will get this nifty gadget for free, along with popular content from Fox, iflix and Spinnr.
“We’re very happy to introduce the most advanced TVolution, in collaboration with Intel. Apart from providing our consumers entertainment, it gives them a full suite of PC functionality on their TV screens backed by PLDT HOME’s most trusted broadband services,” PLDT VP and HOME Marketing Head Gary Dujali said.
This groundbreaking collaboration with Intel comes at the heels of the breakthrough partnerships with global entertainment company and Asia Pacific’s leading broadcaster Fox International Channels and Southeast Asia’s leading Internet TV service iflix. Apart from these, PLDT HOME partnered with various digital lifestyle applications to complement the needs of its consumers.
PLDT HOME commands a market share of over 70 percent in the first half of the year. Its robust fixed and wireless networks are supported by the country’s most expansive fiber optic network, spanning more than 100,000 kilometers.
“PLDT HOME’s partnership with Intel in introducing the new TVolution Stick lets Filipino families integrate Fox, iflix, and other digital applications in one small but powerful device enabling a richer and more convenient digital lifestyle as we forge the strongest connections at home,” Dujali concluded.
For more information on the most advanced TVolution Stick, visit pldthome.com.
In case you didn't know, the Intel Stick, can be upgraded to Windows 10 for free!

Remember those TI-83 calculators you had to use in high school math? It turns out they’re the perfect intro to coding in your classroom.
These calculators have been used for decades! Kids today are probably using the same ones you used during grade school. Even though these have been used for so long, they aren’t the most intuitive.
To calculate a finite integral, the input is weird and looks like this: fNINT(function, variable, lower limit, upper limit).
Here’s an example: fNINT(x+3, x, 0, 1).
The students had the hardest time with the format for the input. They had to enter the data in a specific, predictable way so the calculator knew how to calculate the finite integral. In a way, students are essentially “coding.” Without the correct input, the calculator would not properly execute the fNINT function.
I found that once I explained this to my students, they were able to understand why the order was so important. This helped them remember the correct order and use their calculators correctly.
Since the earliest days of graphing calculators, coding has evolved dramatically. There’s now a plethora of resources for students to learn how to use graphic calculators, whereas even just 15 years ago, students only had a few resources at their disposal.
This process of understanding how using their calculators is coding – and learning how to find solutions to questions on their own – is the perfect introduction to coding in the math classroom.
Modern math teachers are faced with a challenge. Computers and technology are all around us. Solving math problems is simply a click away in most search engines.
But as we educators know, teaching math isn’t just about helping students solve the problem. It’s about helping them understand important principles and concepts they’ll build on later (such as in calculus and advanced math courses).
By incorporating coding into our classrooms, we’re not just meeting abstract district or state mandates. We’re helping our students discover what mathematics really means.
Math is the language of science. It teaches reason and how to problem solve. Since math is objective and predictable, it’s a good place to learn coding. Like math, coding teaches problem solving, reason. If a program doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. The code needs to be right – period – just like a math problem.
The challenge many educators run into is finding ways to bring coding into the classroom. It’s hard to find activities where transfer can take place, allowing students to apply what they’ve learned to math or real life.
Fortunately, helping our students see the value of coding in math is very achievable. In my experience, there are three keys to successfully adding coding to your math curriculum, even if you’re a complete coding novice.
You’re probably already using technology in your classroom like graphing calculators or smartphone apps. Consider spending some time explaining to your students how using these tools is just like creating a computer program.
Dedicate a day for your students to write a program for their graphic calculators. Give them a basic lesson on writing programs, then give them a few different coding commands they could use. Once they have that, give them time to figure out how to write their own programs to solve equations you’re working on in class (such as formulas). In the process of trying to define and manipulate variables in their program, they’ll learn the formula better and be able to use it better in class.
Show students ways they can apply these coding principles to real-world applications. Show how they can use the logic learned programming to create a finance spreadsheet, for example. Or show how they can create a simple app that allows them to automate some manual process. Or have them create a game that uses math, then have them compare it to smartphone games. This helps them see a real-world example of this in action.
There’s lots of ways to apply coding to the real world. But it’s essential that math teachers take the leap and be willing to try it themselves. Try these examples in your classroom.
Want a hand figuring out how you can use these? We have a team of learning experts who are willing – at no cost – to help you apply coding in your math classroom. Click here to get in touch now.

Following the example of his brother, the younger Márquez saved his first international title at the last Grand Prix in front of his home crowd. After a thrilling race, he finished third, with was enough to beat Miller in the overall standing, even if the aussie has won the race.
Miller started very well, with his opponent Márquez in fourth position, but it wasn’t going to be an easy race for both of them. Basically, Miller had to open the gap between him and Márquez, with as many riders between them as possible. He tried to slow down the leading group, that included himself, Isaac Viñales, Niccolò Antonelli and Márquez, so that the group behind them closed up and hindered Márquez.
His plan worked out, with the following Danny Kent, Alex Rins and Efren Vazquez, closing up on Márquez. The fight got on and on, with plenty of overtaking maneuver and lead changes, but ultimately everything worked out for Álex Márquez.
Finally, Miller crossed the flag as winner, with Viñales and the new world champion behind him. They were followed by Danny Kent, who had tried to help out Miller, since his Husqvarna actually is a KTM, Márquez’ teammate Alex Rins, Efren Vazquez and Polesetter Niccolò Antonelli. All of them were involved in the fight up front, but couldn’t keep up or made a mistake earlier.
The Top Ten in the Moto3 class was completed by Miguel Oliveira, Brad Binder and Miller’s teammate Karel Hanika. Niklas Ajo, Jorge Navarro, Scott Deroue, Jules Danilo, Gabriel Rodrigo and Philipp Oettl crashed out of the race, but luckily every rider remained unhurt.
In the Moto2 class, the champion was already decided and starting from Pole Position. Esteve „Tito“ Rabat started usual good into the race, with a strong Tom Lüthi behind him. This formation stuck throughout the whole race, althrough Lüthi attacked the spaniard several times, but couldn’t hold the line and therefor had to give the lead back to Rabat.
The two had an immense lead over the following riders, naming Franco Morbidelli, Johann Zarco and Dominique Aegerter. This didn’t changed until the end, but on the finish straight, Rabat’s bike ran out of fuel and slowed down. This left the win to a completely surprised Lüthi, who couldn’t really believe what just happened.
But since Rabat has his world title already secure, it wasn’t too much of a disappointment for him. Behind the two leaders, frenchman Johann Zarco crossed the finish line as third, since Franco Morbidelli had crashed earlier in the race.
By that point, he leaded a pretty lonesome race, with Luis Salom following him as fourth.
Aegerter, who had been fifth at the beginning and fourth after Morbidelli’s drop-out, fell back to sixth position, where he ended the race behind a constant Xavier Simeon in fifth place. All of them had a more or less big space between each other, so real fights weren’t to be seen.
The Top Ten was completed by brit Sam Lowes, german Marcel Schrötter and aussie Anthony West. Next to Franco Morbidelli, also Axel Pons, Mattia Pasini, Lucas Mahias, Julian Simon and Sandro Cortese couldn’t end the race with seeing the checkered flag. After an incident, that both left unhurt, Maverick Viñales and Mika Kallio weren’t able to rejoin the race, which left the second place in the championship to the finn Kallio.

Finding Your True - Finish What You Started - 2 Min Read - Be A Finisher!
Momentum is powerful, it can get us through tough times and help us accomplish our goals. Once you are headed towards your goals and have built up some momentum and you are pushing past your emotional boundaries. Now what? Well, you need to finish what you started! You need to stay committed and not quit. Unfortunately quitting is easy and a safe way out. Now if there is something unhealthy in your life or something that is not making you a better person then you absolutely need to quit. However, when you are working on a goal that is beneficial to you and those around you and making you a better person in some way, then don’t quit!
If you want to be successful, or even just a better person you need to finish. Finish reading that book you started, finish your 8 week workout plan, finish the dishes(yes it even applies to the little things in life). This is important at every level of your life.
Without finishing you will have too many things in progress and that can lead to a muddy life. When I say muddy I mean like the thick gooey deep mud you can barely get through, you pull so hard to get your feet out to take the next step and when you do it just pulls your shoes off! That’s what it is like sometimes when you have a whole pile of to-dos that have not been finished, you feel overwhelmed and stuck in the mud.
You can overcome this mess by checking things off your list and accomplishing them, one by one. Don’t over do it by taking on too much but take joy in accomplishing each thing you do and use that to fuel your momentum to keep going. Don’t spend enough time in the mud to sink, just run through it. Go ahead, give it a try and be a finisher!!!

If a candidate chooses Dubai as a centre, he/she will not be asked for any other centre preference and will be allotted Dubai centre only. The test centres have been allocated to all the eligible candidates, candidates can check the same from the link given here. This year there are 50 Test centres for BITSAT.
The attempt of Extra Questions: If the candidate has answered all 150 questions and If still there is some time left, candidates have a great opportunity to attempt 12 more questions. These extra questions will be from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics four questions from each part. Once the candidate has opted for extra questions, he cannot go back for correction of any of the earlier answered 150 questions.
At the completion of the test, the computer will announce the BITSAT result to the candidate in terms of the number of total correct answers and wrong answers, with the score. BITSAT Score Card will also be available to the candidate on the next day of the exam on the BITS Pilani Website. The admission list for BITS Pilani along with the waitlist will be announced on 20 June 2018.
Make a timetable: The first thing for preparing for any of the exams is to prepare a timetable for each and every subject and follow it. Most of the candidates prepare the timetable but never follow it. If you are making a timetable, you should have to follow it to get the result you want.
Practice from previous year papers: When we prepare for the previous year question paper, we get the idea of what to prepare and how to prepare. It will give an idea of the pattern of the question paper, and the type of the question gets asked.
Analyse the weak points: When we work on our weak areas, we get a better result, and it is true. Most of us always practice those we know well, but we have to pay attention to what we are weak at.
In case of any query related to BITSAT Admit Card, you can write to us in the comment section below.

Choosing a frame for your fine art can be overwhelming... there are so many options out there, and getting custom framing from a gallery is a great option if it's in your budget. I'm happy to announce that hand crafted solid wood float frames are now available as an option in my shop!
Making these frames available to you has been a goal early on in my business after spending frustrating hours researching the frames available through other sites, and not finding what I thought to be cost effective great quality frames to pair nicely with my paintings.
Why float frames? I chose float frames because they are very versatile with any home décor style. They are simple while giving a finished look to your art, and they compliment the artwork allowing it to be the star.
The frames are made to order, and come in four finishes, Natural, White, Walnut, and Weather Gray, allowing you to choose the best finish for your home. They include all hardware making them ready to hang as soon as it arrives at your door.
I understand that we all have different taste, and I'm all about providing options. If you don't see the finish color you want, or you would rather frame the art yourself; its all good. You have the option to purchase the art without a frame, as well.
Please take note: All float frames are made available with original oil paintings only.

Gautam Chhaochharia of UBS says that India remains a positive story in the medium term, but concerns underlie for near-term growth prospects as they see growth recovery to be gradual and mild.
The market correction over the last two-three months has made the Nifty target of 9200 reasonable and attainable, says Gautam Chhaochharia, Head - India Research, UBS. Chhaochharia told ET that that India remains a positive story in the medium term, but concerns underlie for near-term growth prospects as they see growth recovery to be gradual and mild.
After trimming the Nifty target from 9600 to 9200 over the last few months, Chhaochharia reasoned that the action is reflective of earnings cut. He went on to state that since earnings estimates have already been lowered by 7% for FY15, FY16, and FY17, hence it is simply reflected in the Nifty target as well.
The growth recovery in the GDP and corporate earnings is expected to come in FY17 than in FY16, he added. According to their estimates, earnings will grow at a rate of 10% in FY16. Also, he said that their focus mainly on CPI and not WPI has also contributed to the lack of adjustment of their Nifty target in line with the corporate earnings, which resulted in the slash down of the target.
Chhaochharia sees more disappointments in terms of earnings growth momentum on the cards going ahead. However, he explained that the Nifty target of 9200 and medium-term positive view on India comes on expectations that both inflation and interest rates will positively surprise the market. Chhaochharia keeps a neutral rating on ICICI bank, which is currently surrounded by NPA concerns. He told ET that the bank is highly corporate-driven, of which, a large part belongs to the international book. Hence there will not be a heavy uptick unless local credit cycle improves.
Meanwhile, Chhaochharia still likes the telecommunications space as they are overweight on stocks like Bharti and Idea. He said that quarterly numbers do matter, but the bigger picture of these companies is sound and robust in terms of pricing power and structure. He does not feel that the launch of Reliance Jio will make any sharp dent in the companies' profitability or its stock price.

We we're so excited to see the really really fantastic and well built cardboard constructions coming in from school teams and family teams that had planned and built together before the event day. Amazing!
The jury had both a very short and extremely hard time to decide which buildings to award.
And here below we present all Award winners in Cardboard Shanghai 2, 2014.
Team Klara and Alice, hailing from Italy, brought over a cardboard version of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. The team said they spent one full day to build it.
Coming in at around 150cm in height and well made with interesting building and assembling technique as well as a nice leaning, this construction was impressive. The team was awarded with both the Most Interesting Architecture Award as well as the "Overall Best Building 2014" trophy.
Rainbow Bridge International School's team consisted of an dedicate gang of third and fourth graders led by the school's inspiring Art Teacher Mr Andrew. They brought in three cardboard structures around 1 meter high and the jury honored them them with the award for Most Resemblance With Shanghai Landmark for the Pearl Tower.
Her name is Cool and after receiving the invitation to Cardboard Shanghai 2 via her school she convinced her father to work real hard on her homework after the event, if she just could get permission to participate in Cardboard Shanghai 2.
We are happy that Cool dad agreed to this arrangement. Team Cool's brought this tall beautiful JinMao Tower. We learnt it's made from 100 pc of discarded holiday/new year greeting cards from last year, folded into triangular building parts. The jury awarded Cool and her dad with "Best Construction" for this building.
And this creative team of two did another great construction during the day that also was awarded - take a look further down the list at the award for "Highest Building".
Last year's overall winner's YK Pao School was joining in this year too with a new team and new ideas. The team with grade 5 students have made every little detail themselves in this with no use of sharp knives. Many intriguing features and special are shown in the details and you can see that the team have put a lot of efforts in the making of this construction work of "Plaza 117" and its neighborhood.
Team Kai managed to register for the award competition in the very last minute when they jury was halfway through the tour of Cardboard Shanghai. Turned out to be a lucky strike because the jury really liked this teams' simple but unmistakable take on Jing'an Temple and gave them an award for Most Interesting Details.
5-year old Garen and his dad Jeffery came directly to our Construction Site when doors opened in the morning and started to build what was going to be a very nice tree house. The team kept the focus and worked hard for a long time. The jury was impressed by this unique idea for a building and how it was constructed and awarded Team Garen with "Most Creative Idea" award.
Team Tanya dropped in to the Construction Site during the day and put a lot of effort in making their house beautiful with the materials available with creative use of tape and ribbons. Tanya explained that she made this house for her grandmother.
Team Tanya was given the "Best Decorated" award.
Two families teamed up and brought in this futuristic construction and made the last finishes on the construction and decorations at the Construction Site during the day. "Team Spaceship Shanghai" was given the "Most Colorful" award by the jury.
Grade 4 student Cool and her dad, as you read above, won an award for the fantastic Jinmao Tower made of old greeting cards. It turns out that this team was creative, focused and fast builders, and after a while at our Construction Site they registered yet another cardboard construction for the award competition.
In Pi-team, mom and daughter, put together the boat from the book and movie "Life of Pi", except this one had no tiger in it. The jury awarded this construction with the "Most Surprising"-award.
Shanghai Singapore International School - Green Club (SSIS) made a miniature Pudong area with the Pearl Tower, World Financial Center, Century Park, China Pavillions with many details as clouds, people, trees etc and with a mix of recycled materials as rolled newspapers, styrofoam, food containers and bubble wrap the jury awarded them the "Best Use of Recycled Material"

There’s no more thrilling sight in waterfowling than a flock of Canada geese about to pitch into the goose decoys.
Keep goose decoys well away from fence lines, overgrown ditches and other cover where Canadas may percive a predator, or hunter, to be hiding.
Set the goose decoys to take advantage of the goose’s tendency to land with the wind in their faces. Walking and swimming geese also prefer to be facing and/or moving into the wind, so goose decoys should be positioned in this manner for realism.
Don’t place goose decoys so close together it is difficult for live birds to land among them. Leave an opening in the spread that invites birds to land there, and have that opening within range of your gun.
Have all your decoys in place before sun-up so you’ll be ready when the birds arrive.
Today’s modern goose decoys are so realistic they can hardly be distinguised from real birds.
Canada geese use a wide variety of habitats, everything from small ponds, big rivers and reservoirs to open agricultural fields and city parks. If you own property where geese come to feed or rest, you can study the birds’ habits, determine what areas they are using when, and be hunting in just days. Otherwise, you’ll need to check with your state wildlife agency for information on public hunting land that offer good shooting, or visit with landowners to ask for hunting permission on private lands where you find geese during preseason scouting. If possible, have several alternative hunting sites you can visit in case birds move or wise up.
Elaborate ground blinds are nice but not necessary because the typical goose field probably will produce only one or two good shoots before the birds move elsewhere. Many goose hunters simply lie on their backs in the goose decoys and wear camouflage clothing that blends well with their surroundings. Pit ground blinds, portable ground blinds and makeshift ground blinds made from natural materials on-site also can be used, depending on where you hunt.
The most important thing goose hunters should remember is to remain well hidden and absolutely motionless until birds are well within shooting range. Canada geese are extremely wary, and if they see or hear anything out of place, they’ll avoid it. If approaching birds seem reluctant to land, flare off at the last minute or land consistently outside the goose decoys, chances are the birds are spotting the ground blind, hunter movement or something else that makes them nervous. Don’t hesitate to move a ground blind or goose decoys if necessary to lure birds well within shotgun range.
When everything comes together just right and the moment of truth is at hand, avoid the temptation to shoot when the first birds start dropping into your set-up. Veteran waterfowlers hold off until the lead geese are touching down and geese in the rear of the flock are well within gun range before making their move.
Of course, all these things require knowledge, time and hard work. You need to scout, set up realistic goose decoy spreads in key locations, be well camouflaged, know how to call and be creative. If you’re not up to these tasks, consider hiring a guide. These guys can show you the ins and outs of goose hunting, and after you’ve experienced a hunt first-hand, you’ll know whether you really want to make the required investment in time and equipment to goose hunt on your own. Best of all, guides do all the work. The goose hunter need not spend hours scouting, gaining hunting permission and setting and retrieving goose decoys. For a reasonable fee, reputable guides do all this and clean and pack your birds, too.
No matter how you pursue them—with a guide or without, on a river or in a field, on public hunting land or private—Canada geese provide unexpected thrills at every turn. Hunting them is a great way to enjoy the outdoors this winter. So start preparing now for the season ahead. Hunting these incredible birds will leave your heart pounding and provide memories long treasured.

Who can show forth all His tehillah (praise)? 3Ashrei (happy, blessed) are they who are shomrei mishpat, and he that doeth tzedakah at all times. 4Remember me, Hashem, with the favor that Thou bearest unto Thy people; O visit me with Thy Yeshuah (salvation); 5That I may see the good of Bechireicha (Thy chosen ones), that I may rejoice in the simchah of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine nachalah (the people of Thy inheritance). 6We have sinned with Avoteinu, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7Avoteinu had no seichal concerning Thy nifla'ot (wonders) in Mitzrayim; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies but provoked Him at the yam, even at the Yam Suf. 8Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of Shmo, that He might make His gevu'rot (mighty power) to be known. 9He rebuked the Yam Suf also, and it dried up; so He led them through the tehomot, as through the midbar. 10And He saved them from the yad of him that hated them, and He acted to make the go'el redemption from the yad of the oyev (enemy). 11And the mayim covered their enemies; there was not echad (one) of them left surviving. 12Then believed they in His Devarim; they sang His tehillah. 13Then they hurried, they forgot His ma'asim; they waited not for His etzah (counsel, advice, wisdom); 14But lusted exceedingly in the midbar, and tempted G-d in the desert. 15And He gave them their she'elah (request); but sent leanness into their nefesh. 16They envied Moshe also in the machaneh, and Aharon the kadosh Hashem (Aaron the holy one of Hashem). 17Eretz opened and swallowed up Datan and covered over the Adat Aviram (the company of Aviram). 18And an eish was kindled in their edah (assembly); the flame burned up the resha'im. 19They made an egel (a calf) in Chorev, and worshiped a massekhah (molden image). 20Thus they exchanged their kavod for a tavnit shor (likeness of an ox) that eateth esev (grass). 21They forgot G-d their Moshi'a, Who had done gedolot in Mitzrayim; 22Nifla'ot (wondrous works) in Eretz Cham, and nora'ot (awesome things) by the Yam Suf. 23Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moshe His bechir (chosen one) stood before Him in the peretz (breach), to turn away His wrath, lest He should destroy them. 24Then they despised the eretz chemdah (desirable land); they believed not His Devar; 25But murmured in their ohalim, and paid heed not unto the kol (voice) of Hashem. 26Therefore [in oath] He lifted up His yad against them, that He would overthrow them in the midbar; 27To make their zera fall also among the Goyim, and to scatter them among the aratzot (lands). 28They joined themselves also unto Ba'al-Pe'or, and ate the zivkhei mesim (sacrifices offered to the dead). 29Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions; and the magefah (plague) broke out among them. 30Then stood up Pinchas, and interposed; and so the magefah (plague) was halted. 31And that was counted unto him for tzedakah l'dor vador ad olam. 32They angered Him also at the waters of Merivah, so that it went ill with Moshe on their account; 33Because they provoked His Ruach [Hakodesh] and he [Moshe] spoke unadvisedly with his sfatayim (lips). 34They did not destroy the amim (peoples), as Hashem commanded them; 35But they mingled with the Goyim, and learned their ma'asim (works, customs). 36And they served their atzabim (idols); which were a mokesh (snare) unto them. 37And, they sacrificed their banim and their banot unto shedim (demons), 38And they shed dahm naki (innocent blood), even the dahm of their banim and of their banot, whom they sacrificed unto the atzabei Kena'an (idols of Canaan); and HaAretz was polluted with blood-guilt. 39Thus they made themselves tameh with their own ma'asim, and went awhoring with their own inventions. 40Therefore was the wrath of Hashem kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His own nachalah. 41And He gave them into the yad Goyim; and they that hated them ruled over them. 42Their oyevim also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their yad. 43Many times did He deliver them; but they provoked Him with their etzah (counsel), and so perished in their avon (iniquity). 44Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their rinnah (cry of grief); 45And He remembered for their sake His Brit, and relented according to the multitude of His chasadim (lovingkindnesses). 46He made them also to be pitied with rachamim by all those that carried them away as captives. 47Hoshieini (save us), Hashem Eloheinu, and gather us from among the Goyim, to give thanks unto Thy Shem Kadosh, and to glory in Thy tehillah (praise). 48Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel min haOlam v'ad haOlam; and let kol HaAm say, Omein. Praise Hashem!

We purchased this Garden Art Piece back in 1996 while attending the Boise Flower & Garden Show from ‘Lance’ the sculpture. Known for his highly detailed work and unique “one-of-a-kind” designs, this Heron Sculpture stood for years in the shallows of a pond and then was moved later to a ‘dry pond’ bed in our display gardens.
The circle surrounding the herons is an old wagon wheel rim from the 1800’s and measures about 39 inches. The cattail sculptures stand about 50 inches. The two fish in one cattail group are cut out of copper, the other two fish out of steel.
