Fokuset for vårt pedagogske arbeid har dette året vært KREATIVITET, FANTASI OG GLEDE. Med det har vi ønsket å gi barna muligheter til å få uttrykke seg estetisk, være sammen om kulturelle opplevelser og gjøre eller skape noe felles. Det ble mange fine bilder som ble skapt denne dagen og under finnes et utvalg av det som ble laget.
I had ten minutes to eat my bagel, sip some of the latte I splurged on, and enjoy a sunny spring morning in Duluth. I love Lake Superior.
Since the Shepherd's Harvest festival, I've been working on the Java socks from Knitty Winter 2011. I haven't done a top-down sock in awhile, and I've never done cabling without a cable needle. It's surprisingly easy!
Then, Lubchenco used the occasion to point to the importance of NOAA's satellite program.The Republican attempts to slash non-defense, non-entitlement spending, combined with constant tax cuts, leads to valuable basic science funding being slashed. These programs don't have a strong constituency, but they have large real-life effects, and are extremely cheap based on their usefulness. This nation will suffer for many years because of the 30 years of malinvestment under generally Republican guidance.
Ms. LUBCHENCO: Satellites are a must-have when it comes to being prepared in detecting and tracking dangerous tropical weather. Not having satellites and not applying their latest capabilities could spell disaster.
HAMILTON: And she said there's a very real possibility that could happen.
Ms. LUBCHENCO: The future funding for our satellite program is very much in limbo right now.
HAMILTON: Already, Lubchenco said, the agency has been forced to delay the launch of a critical satellite. It would have traveled in a polar orbit, beaming down information for weather and climate forecasts. As a result, when the current satellite doing that job stops working, there will be no replacement.
Ms. LUBCHENCO: We are likely looking at a period of time a few years down the road where we will not be able to do severe storm warnings and long-term weather forecasts that people have come to expect today.
HAMILTON: And Lubchenco says satellites aren't just for hurricanes.
Ms. LUBCHENCO: For example, our ability to do a five-day heads-up about the severe tornadoes that hit a couple of weeks ago was a direct consequence of our having polar orbiting satellites.
HAMILTON: Lubchenco's comments come after years of warnings by groups, including the National Academy of Sciences, that the U.S. needed to replace many aging satellites used to study and monitor the Earth.

The Land Ordinance of 1785 was adopted by the United States Congress on May 20, 1785. Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress did not have the power to raise revenue by direct taxation of the inhabitants of the United States. Therefore, the immediate goal of the ordinance was to raise money through the sale of land in the largely unmapped territory west of the original states acquired at the 1783 (Treaty of Paris) after the end of the Revolutionary War. Over three-fourths of the area of the continental United States ultimately came under the rectangular survey. This was important because it provided easily recognized land descriptions, which in turn contributed enormously to the orderly and largely peaceful occupation of the land. The rectangular survey also provided the units within which economic, political, and social development took place.Thanks to this Act, plane passengers can look down at the nearly perfect one mile squares which cover the nation's landscape. It set up the 6 mile by 6 mile survey township. It also gave us the Section, Township, Range system of identifying every parcel of property in the Public Land Survey System. It also greatly simplified the complex and nearly indefinable system of metes and bounds descriptions, which allowed surveyors to separate out the best land for themselves and their favored clients. Later, the Act of May 18, 1796 altered the numbering system for sections in townships, and only two surveys in Ohio were conducted under the numbering system of 1785:
The Ordinance of 1784 was a resolution written by Thomas Jefferson (delegate from Virginia) calling for Congress to take action. The land west of the Appalachian Mountains, north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River was to be divided into ten separate states. However, the 1784 resolution did not define the mechanism by which the land would become states, or how the territories would be governed or settled before they became states. The Ordinance of 1785 put the 1784 resolution in operation by providing a mechanism for selling and settling the land, while the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 addressed political needs.
The 1785 ordinance laid the foundations of land policy until passage of the Homestead Act in 1862. The Land Ordinance established the basis for the Public Land Survey System. The initial surveying was performed by Thomas Hutchins. After he died in 1789, responsibility for surveying was transferred to the Surveyor General. Land was to be systematically surveyed into square townships, six miles (9.656 km) on a side. Each of these townships were sub-divided into thirty-six sections of one square mile (2.59 km²) or 640 acres. These sections could then be further subdivided for re-sale by settlers and land speculators.
The ordinance was also significant for establishing a mechanism for funding public education. Section 16 in each township was reserved for the maintenance of public schools. Many schools today are still located in section sixteen of their respective townships, although a great many of the school sections were sold to raise money for public education. In later States, section 36 of each township was also designated as a "school section".
Knepper notes: “Sections number 8, 11, 26, and 29 in every township were reserved for future sale by the federal government when, it was hoped, they would bring higher prices because of developed land around them. Congress also reserved one third part of all gold, silver, lead, and copper mines to its own use, a bit of wishful thinking as regards Ohio lands.” The ordinance also said “That three townships adjacent to Lake Erie be reserved, to be hereafter disposed of by Congress, for the use of the officers, men, and others, refugees from Canada, and the refugees from Nova Scotia, who are or may be entitled to grants of land under resolutions of Congress now existing.“ This was not possible, as the area next to Lake Erie was property of Connecticut, so the Canadians had to wait until the establishment of the Refugee Tract in 1798.
The Point of Beginning for the 1785 survey was where Ohio (as the easternmost part of the Northwest Territory), Pennsylvania and Virginia (now West Virginia) met, on the north shore of the Ohio River near East Liverpool, Ohio. There is a historical marker just north of the site, at the state line where Ohio State Route 39 becomes Pennsylvania Route 68.
朱志洋指出，友嘉集團旗下大陸杭州友佳國際今年前4個月接單很猛，比去年同期成長66％，但出貨量卻因缺料，只有訂單的一半，截至目前還有2千台訂單未出貨。
朱志洋強調，大陸汽車業需求下降，但電子產業對工具機需求殷切，況且海外市場訂單很猛，友嘉集團今年底工具機訂單已經滿載，目前在手還有新台幣96億元定單未交貨。
朱志洋說，友嘉集團今年計劃在兩岸斥資新台幣百億元增設新廠及擴建舊廠，其中一半資本支出用在台灣，友嘉實業規劃今年要落腳台中精密園區，興建總樓板面積5、6千坪的工具機旗艦店，松穎位於三義工業區內也打算擴大龍門廠生產規模。
友嘉投資的友晁能源申請在新竹科學園區設廠生產太陽能產品；友嘉綠能打算在中壢生產LED及鎂合金鍛造，另有2個半導體檢驗設備分別在新竹及中壢，友嘉集團今年在台投資設4家新公司、2家老廠擴建，上半年配股政策較為保守。

When we reached our destination, I sent my husband in to fight his way through the wave of early afternoon shoppers and sat on a wall to wait for him. Finally, a few minutes peace and quiet whilst George investigates the nearby bushes. Or so I thought.
During the 20 minutes wait, four people stopped to talk to me. One was an old man who had a little Jack Russel and wanted to make friends. Two were elderly couples who used to have dogs and knew a thing or two about whippets. The last one was a young woman with a little girl who wanted to make a fuss of George.
Maybe they couldn't resist his sweet face?
I can't deny that I've quite enjoyed talking to these people. They were all nice in their own way. But I can't keep wondering…Would they have stopped to talk to me if I was alone? I don't think so.
We grow up hearing that we should not talk to strangers in the street. People we don't know can be dangerous. You never know what criminal thoughts lie hidden inside an innocent-looking 85-year-old lady. You can never tell. A young(ish) person – like myself – perched on a brick wall around the back of a supermarket is surely up to no good and to be avoided. But…Hold on!…She's got a dog! Oh, she's all right then, let's stop for a chat!
So what is it about having a dog that draws people towards you? Wandering the streets with a dog by your side seems to somehow label you a model citizen, making it OK for you to hang around in the strangest of places. It kind of makes you safe to interact and talk to.
It's the same with kids. As a decent person, you would never contemplate approaching a child other than your own in a park or in the street. This kind of misdirected friendliness would attract at least a few condemning looks from passers-by and could land you in a lot of trouble. But if you've got a child with you, then you're suddenly a trustworthy person and everybody relaxes around you. If you're the join-in-the-fun type, you could even end up with a bunch of little people clinging onto your trousers and jumping on your back. Oh, isn't he/she good with children!, you'll hear the sit-on-the-bench-and-watch-type (grand)parents whisper to each other approvingly.
I've heard of a number of men who have 'borrowed' their friends' children to pick up women. Successfully. Films have been made about this. Films have also been made about men using dogs to pick up women. Successfully. (Think of 101 Dalmatians).
No wonder the strategy works. In today's world, children and dogs seem to qualify you as being safe. It's like having a safety certificate tattooed on your head. Or like an invite to an intimate, friendly chat. Or both. To me, sitting on that wall with George felt like I was wearing a big sign that said "I've got a dog, talk to me!".
So here are my questions for you. Do you find yourselves the centre of attention when out and about with your dogs? Do you suddenly become Mr. or Mrs. Popularity when you're attached to the end of a lead? Do strangers ever approach you to tell you how beautiful your dog is and half an hour later they're still telling you their life story? Facebook
