Eleanor Duckworth, Professor of Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education, presents her talk: "When Teachers Listen and Learners Explain."
TEDxPioneerValley, an independently organized event licensed by TED, explores learning that takes place in unexpected ways, cracking open traditional notions of how learning happens. The day-long conference at Amherst College Jan. 21, 2012, is presented in collaboration with the Holyoke Community College Adult Learning Center, Amherst College, Smith College and Mount Holyoke College.

The man who talked to us when we were shooting. Sometimes people who is interested in a camera or a photograph talk to when we take pictures outside. He started talking about from a camera to a wartime story and he told us how he survived during the war.
When he was 15 years old, he worked to put the dead bodies in order to identify or buried them in the hole and that job made 10,000 yen in the daily wages. While there were many people returning as they see the bodies, he worked hard and started an electric shop after the war. He said with a smile " The postwar electric shop made money next to a thief."
撮影をしている時に話しかけて来たおじさん。
外で写真を撮っているとよくカメラや写真に興味のある人が話しかけて来ます。おじさんはカメラの話から戦時中の話になり、戦時中をどう生き抜いて来たかを教えてくれました。
15歳のころ死体を片付けたり身元の確認や穴に埋める作業をして日給１万円。死体を見て帰って行く人も多い中、おじさんはこつこつ働き、戦後電気屋を開業、「戦後の電気屋なんつったら泥棒の次に儲かったよ～」と笑って教えてくれました。
The exhibit had rules; nothing you could drop could be brought up (to protect the glass) and you had to wear booties to cover your shoes.
All rules enforced and presented by the nice folks from Oklahoma Contemporary.
Improvised children's toys, one made from insect repellent tin cans (explains the words "insect killer') - inventive- yes, ironic- yes, and kind of worrisome...hope they were cleaned well before any children played with them. Shelter area Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City

The goal of the exhibit is to raise awareness about the plight of the world’s 42 million refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) uprooted by war and conflict.
The Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City exhibit is an outdoor reconstruction of an actual refugee camp, where experienced MSF staff (doctors, nurses, logisticians) guide visitors through a 40 to 60 minute interactive tour explaining the crucial elements for survival in a refugee or IDP crisis.
During the tour, each visitor will learn some of the challenges a refugee or IDP faces in trying to access food, shelter, water and medical care. The 740 m2 (8,000 square feet) exhibit is designed to accommodate approximately 800 to 1,200 visitors per day, and consists of the following areas:
•Shelter area
•Food distribution area
•Latrine area
•Water supply
•Health clinic
•Nutrition treatment centre
•Cholera treatment centre
•Vaccination tent
About the Refugee Camp exhibit
Guided by MSF aid workers, visitors are asked to imagine that they are among the millions of people fleeing violence and persecution in, for example, Somalia, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Sudan.
The exhibit is made up of materials used by MSF in its emergency medical work around the world, including emergency refugee housing, a food distribution tent, water pump, health clinic, vaccination tent, therapeutic feeding center, and a cholera treatment center. It addresses questions such as:
•Will I be safe?
•What will I eat?
•How do I find water?
•Can I get medical care?
•Where will I live?
Learn more about the issues refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) face with this interactive guide.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. If you are planning to come with a group of 15 or more please schedule a group visit for your city. Individuals are welcome without reservations.
The Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City was first launched in France in 1995, and has toured in countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. In 2008, the exhibit attracted close to 30,000 visitors during a 4 city tour of Western Canada and 4 city tour of California.

Picture taken at “ARCHITECTS OF DESIGN THINKING” Prof. David Kelley and Prof. Hasso Plattner, a conversation
I don't know which is worse: That someone was dumb enough to put an old toilet in the alley instead of the dumpster, that someone was dumb enough to use it, that someone was dumb enough to crap on the ground next to it, or that someone was dumb enough to photograph it.
I need to go shower now.
A handy reference to the sayings
I love Asian art history and have taken Chinese and calligraphy. Running across a book of pithy Chinese sayings having to do with futility I translated them from regular Chinese (kaishu) to the ancient ‘seal script’ (zhuanshu) which I manipulated freely to help convey the message. These sayings are rendered as etchings in black ink, combined with impressions of actual collectors’ seals in red. The center of the page is empty as it often is in Asian art. Some actual seals can be seen at Chinese Seals. All prints were done in 2002.
Mr. Talley enjoys having students explain what they are doing and why they are doing it. He wants them to own their learning.

I was taking a picture of uneaten blackberries left on a plate. I set the shutter speed long enough to move away from the plate during the exposure.
Small things amuse small minds, you know.
GST Voles day at Sandy Smith NR 7/3/2017
Mr T.: (rummaging in the back of the land rover).
Okay we haven't had a task in the Wet Fen before so before we start I just need to explain a few things. Firstly as you can see it's very wet here at the entrance so I will not be taking the land rover in. We will have to carry everything in from here. I want four of you strimming the few sparce areas of rushes to the right hand side and one of you mowing a few clearings on the left hand side. The rest of you can help me clear away various metal rubbish in the copse area and then start raking and forking up what's been cut. There are some drag bags here for you. Plus I shall be cutting down a small birch tree which can be cut up and burnt. So I'll need you to take......
Mr. T. turns around to see he is by himself, the voles having walked off into the distance, (well this is SSNR and we always walk off into the distance).
A little later in camp.
Mr. T.: Are you okay to strim *****? (name removed for legal reasons). Just make sure you don't break anything. Are you okay to use the mower ^^^^? (name removed for same reasons). Just make sure you don't break anything.
Right, I just need to go back and get a few things that you lot 'forgot' to bring over with you.
Mr T. returns.
*****: The strimmer's broke.
Mr. T.: Right, I just need to go back and get the tools to mend it for you.
Mr. T. returns.
^^^^: The mower's broke.
Mr. T.: Right, I just need to go back and get the tools to mend it for you.
Mr. T. returns.
Anon.: We haven't got any forks.
Mr. T.: Right, I just need to go back and get them for you.
Mr. T. returns.
Another Anon.: We need drag bags.
Mr. T.: Right, I just need to go back and get them for you.
Mr. T. returns.
Yet another Anon.: Must be time for a tea break.
Mr. T.: Right, I just need to go back and get my bag.
The voles settle down for a drink and a few cakes.
Anon anon anon.: Who's going to tell Mr. T. he's forgotten the donuts?
Sobbing could be heard in the distance.
Some time later on this long, drawn out morning.
Mr. T.: It's no good, the rushes are too damp to burn, we'll have to drag them into the copse and pile them there.
Mr. T. walks away.
^^^^, (don't worry Clarkie, no one will know it's you), immediately strips to the waist, covers his chest in cow dung, (last week's having dried out and beginning to flake off), turns and spits into the northeast wind. Rubbing the spittle off his face he calls out to Logi, the Norse god of fire. "Hey up lad we could do with a bit of help down here." So saying he sets light to a box of fire lighters and throws them into the smouldering embers. Flames immediately rise into the bright blue sky as the fire worshipper dances a merry jig and begins to feed the flames.
And so to lunch.
Mr. T.: No more cutting now we just need to rake up what's been cut and either burn it or pile it in the copse.
Volunteer Warden (no experience necessary): Nah, we can strim loads more, there's plenty of time.
Mr. T.: No, we need to let the fire burn down before we leave tonight.
Volunteer Warden (no experience attained): Nah, we'll have finished in half an hour.
Two hours later.
Mr. T.: Most people have left, how is the fire?
Volunteer Warden (basically no experience full stop): (kicking mud onto the flames) Nearly out, could have cut loads more. Gets dark quickly these nights doesn't it?
Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental and has nothing to do with the perpetrator of Myths and Legends in Bedfordshire, (out of print).
Thank you to everyone who came along and dragged their heels, ankles, toes, etc. in the mud. Special thanks to those who kept pulling Wendy out of the deep bits. Nice to see Maryla back with us for a short while (obviously having to build up to it again).

Zachry Construction Project Manager Sean Perkins speaks to the Statesville Chamber of Commerce about the I-40/77 interchange project.
Expressions Explained:
A long time ago, roofs were made of thatch and straw instead of wood. Small animals such as cats and mice would crawl into these thatch roofs to keep warm when the weather was chilly. When it rained very hard, the straw eventually became slippery and the animals would slip right off the roof! Hence the expression, it's raining cats and dogs!
My friend Glenn discovered this when we were at a nice lounge bar in San Diego [the bartender begged us not to name it when we shared the photo]. The chair that also happened to be next to the urinal probably has something to do with it.
Like shoes, your pet's harness must fit perfectly. A properly fitted harness improves your dog's comfort, control, and safety on walks. How do you choose the proper size? How can you properly modify the optimal fit? We'll cover you! We'll explain dog harness fitting and adjustment in this guide. Let's start this tail-wagging trip with your dog!
Dog Harness Measurement:
Before buying a harness, measure your dog. Simple steps with a flexible measuring tape:
1. Measure the Neck: Measure your dog's neck below the collar.
2. Measure the Chest: Wrap the tape around your dog's biggest chest behind their front legs. Avoid overtightening or loosening.
3. Measure length from neck to tail. This helps decide harness length.
Always check the brand's sizing instructions when picking a size for your pooch.
After measuring, use the manufacturer's sizing chart to choose. Some harnesses are adjustable, while others are size-specific.
Harnessing a Dog
Putting on a dog harness may seem easy, but doing it correctly ensures your pet's comfort and safety. Step-by-step instructions:
1. Hold the harness straps up. Put your dog's front legs through the holes effortlessly.
2. Lift the harness over your dog's back and center the D-ring between their shoulder blades.
3. Clip the side straps under your dog's belly near their spine.
4. Make sure the harness fits snugly but comfortably—two fingers should fit between your dog and the harness.
5. Give each strap a final twist to secure it.
Practice makes perfect! Be patient as your dog adjusts to a harness. Before going on walks or adventures, double-check that it's on properly!
Dog Harness Adjustment
After picking the suitable dog harness, make sure it fits. A well-fitted harness keeps your dog safe and comfortable. Dog harness adjustments:
1. Loosen all harness straps.
2. Put the harness over your dog's head so its front legs fit through the openings.
3. Wrap the harness around your dog and secure with the buckles or clips.
4. Leave two fingers between the harness straps and your dog's skin.
5. Check the harness for pressure on sensitive regions like your dog's armpits or throat, which could cause discomfort or impede movement.
6. Tighten each strap slowly so it doesn't bite into their skin or hinder respiration.
7. Double-check and adjust all adjustments for a perfect fit!
As dogs mature, they may need to be adjusted.
Which Dog Harness is Best for Your Pup?
Many dog harnesses are available. Harnesses have diverse functions and characteristics to meet different needs.
Back-clip harnesses are popular. This design helps walkers and hikers control larger canines by appropriately dispersing pressure. Front-clip harnesses are useful for pulling dogs because they redirect their forward motion toward you.
If your pet escapes straps, consider an escape-proof or no-pull leash. Extra straps and buckles prevent Houdini-like escapes.
Step-in or vest-style harnesses are more comfortable and secure for smaller breeds or puppies in training. These harnesses don't push on your dog's throat.
The Gentle Leader-style head halter is another popular alternative. They gently guide your dog's head when they pull, preventing lunging.
Size, behavior, and comfort determine the perfect dog harness. Always prioritize safety and choose one that allows for correct adjustment!
Why Your Puppy Needs a Harness
We must constantly protect our pets. A well-fitted harness is crucial when walking or playing with your dog. It improves pup control and decreases damage risk.
A puppy harness in Australia supports their expanding body and spreads pressure across their chest and shoulders. This is especially critical for small breeds or those with sensitive necks that can be injured by collars.
Finding the correct harness for your puppy can be stressful with so many options. Consider size, comfort, adjustability, and durability when choosing.
For a great fit, measure your puppy before buying a harness. Correctly wearing and adjusting the harness prevents discomfort and escape attempts during walks.
Choose a puppy harness that prioritizes safety. If you stroll at night, consider reflective straps or LED lights. Choose strong, long-lasting materials.
A nice puppy harness keeps them secure and teaches them leash manners. Fitting and adjusting a dog harness in Australia properly ensures comfort and better control.
Why wait? Start by measuring your dog and selecting the right harness. Your cute pet will thank you as they walk along you!
So how can I explain this in a reasonable amount of space? So, my friends and I developed a new story where we each created our own "Queens," so of course I was the Vampire Queen and I have all of these vampire henchmen. The vampire portrayed is the Vamp Queen's top general, Samael. So, long story short, my friend (who is the "Fairy Queen") got on a tangent talking about our two "right hand men," and hers is this Corgi guy. So we went on talking about Samael's and her Corgi General's relationship, and many pointless things occurred, like apparently Samael has a soft spot for Corgi's and Corgi ears. So for Samael's birthday, the Corgi guy got him a Corgi. And Samael being a bloodthirsty demon he is has no idea what to do with himself.
But he loves the little puppy so much.
Anyway, that's about the short of it.

The title of each image explains the comparison as plain as can be. You can just start with the 10 foot comparison or the 200 foot comparison and use the photostream thumbnails to the right to step through the demo frame-by-frame. You can also click on the tag "200 vs 300" to see all of the thumbnail images at once and go from there.
I used my car as the subject, because you can relate the size of a car to anything you wish. The license plate is about 6" tall (155mm) and 12" wide (305mm). The car is about 5 feet (1.5 m) wide from the outer edge of one tail light to the outer edge of the other tail light.
I did not crop the images at all. They are shown full frame. I downsized the image from 300 ppi to 72ppi to make it easier to show on Flickr.
The D300 is a cropped sensor with a "magnification factor" of 1.5X. This means that the "equivalent focal lengths" in this comparison would be 300mm vs 450mm if the test was done on a full frame camera. Please make whatever calculations you need to make in order to make this comparison valid for your camera.

This explains why I gained weight, to much TV time hanging out on the couch with my Buds. I actually have seven remote controls but the six shown kept the symmetry.
In a strange and symbolic gesture my Buds were killed and eaten. I just couldn’t bear to look them in the Eyes.
Death to the Couch Potato!
