The Teeny, Tiny Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter Is Available For Pre-Order

nanocopterA few weeks ago the Crazyflie Nano captured our collective imaginations by winging its way around an open plan office and looking like a cross between a hummingbird and the robotic butterfly that steals things in Dora the Explorer. The tiny quadrotor robot is now available for pre-order for $173 for the multi-sensor version and $143 for a basic version with position sensors. The product should ship in April.

Twenty-one minutes to marital satisfaction: Minimal intervention can preserve marital quality over time

Feb. 5, 2013 ? Marital satisfaction -- so critical to health and happiness -- generally declines over time. A brief writing intervention that helps spouses adopt a more objective outlook on marital conflict could be the answer.

New Northwestern University research shows that this writing intervention, implemented through just three, seven-minute writing exercises administered online, prevents couples from losing that loving feeling.

"I don't want it to sound like magic, but you can get pretty impressive results with minimal intervention," said Eli Finkel, lead author of the study and professor of psychology at Northwestern.

The study involved 120 couples, half assigned the reappraisal intervention and the other not. Every four months for two years all spouses reported their relationship satisfaction, love, intimacy, trust, passion and commitment. They also provided a fact-based summary of the most significant disagreement they had experienced with their spouse in the preceding four months.

The reappraisal writing task asked participants to think about their most recent disagreement with their partner from the perspective of a neutral third party who wants the best for all involved.

Replicating prior research, both groups exhibited declines in marital quality over Year 1. But for the spouses who experienced the reappraisal intervention -- who completed the writing exercise three times during Year 2 -- the decline in marital satisfaction was entirely eliminated. Although couples in the two conditions fought just as frequently about equally severe topics, the intervention couples were less distressed by these fights, which helped them sustain marital satisfaction.

"Not only did this effect emerge for marital satisfaction, it also emerged for other relationship processes -- like passion and sexual desire -- that are especially vulnerable to the ravages of time," Finkel said. "And this isn't a dating sample. These effects emerged whether people were married for one month, 50 years or anywhere in between."

This finding may be especially important given that low marital quality can have serious health implications, according to Finkel.

Finkel cites data that among coronary artery bypass patients, those who experienced high marital satisfaction shortly after the surgery were three times more likely to be alive 15 years later than those who experienced low marital satisfaction.

"Marriage tends to be healthy for people, but the quality of the marriage is much more important than its mere existence," Finkel said. "Having a high-quality marriage is one of the strongest predictors of happiness and health. From that perspective, participating in a seven-minute writing exercise three times a year has to be one of the best investments married people can make."

Using Differentiated Instruction Techniques to Teach Math to Young ...

Using Differentiated Instruction Techniques to Teach Math to Young Kids At Home?Children are becoming more and more discouraged. They are content to sit silently in the back of the classroom or automatically look to the teacher for correct answers instead of trying themselves. If the teacher gives them the answer each time, it enables a dependent mentality. This mentality does not foster the active learning that is necessary for a child to succeed. In some extreme circumstances, students have drifted below the radar for their entire academic career and received a high school diploma without achieving even the most rudimentary of mathematical proficiency. This epidemic is rooted in several pervading inadequacies in our education system. One problem is that the average classroom is not a place where children feel completely comfortable asking questions or expressing concerns for fear of ridicule from their peers. This is not conducive to a healthy learning environment.

Teach Math to Young Kids :

?

Schools need to stick to strict schedules, so teachers sometimes move from one lesson to the next before all of the students have had a chance to learn the material. What?s more, their instruction techniques might not resonate with all of the students, and in larger classrooms, individual attention can be next to impossible. This results in a growing educational deficit, as some children fall behind and are unable to catch up due to the fast pace and uniformity of instruction. By using varying teaching techniques when difficulties are detected, parents can help children to learn efficiently, which allows them to excel in the classroom.

He got to play with them in the way the teacher showed him and then he came away with mastery of a math concept. In reality, those works are just really well-designed math education manipulative that teach one highly focused math concept. There are works that teach key math education skills such as; measurement, counting, number order, number formation, one-to-one relationships, addition and subtraction, and even higher math concepts. Every time the teacher introduced a new math ?work? the kids who were ready for that next math concept were excited and energized to learn a new math skill.

MOSCOW (AP) ? The artistic director of the Bolshoi ballet said he knows who ordered an acid attack that left him with severe burns to his eyes and face but won't say, voicing hope that investigators will soon name the perpetrator.

Sergei Filin checked out of a Moscow hospital Monday and headed to Germany for further rehabilitation.

Filin, 42, wore shades and a bandage on his head, and skin on his face was red and swollen from burns. But he spoke energetically and seemed to be in a good mood as he walked out of the hospital accompanied by his wife.

"My body is full of strength and energy," he told reporters.

Filin earlier told Russian state television that he knew who ordered the attack but wouldn't give names. "My heart tells me who did it," Filin told Rossiya 24 television in an interview broadcast late Sunday.

He said that investigators would visit him in Germany as part of the continuing probe.

An attacker threw sulphuric acid in Filin's face in Moscow on Jan. 17, as he was returning home from work.

"I felt enormous, unbearable pain," Filin recalled in the television interview. "I fell face down in the snow and started rubbing my face and eyes with snow."

His colleagues said the attack on Filin could be in retaliation for his selection of certain dancers over others for the prized roles.

The Bolshoi has been plagued by intrigue and infighting that have led to the departure of several artistic directors over the past few years.

Filin told reporters Monday as he was leaving the hospital that he's still seeing as if through a mist as his eye treatment is continuing, and added that he will have to undergo further eye surgery in Germany.

"I don't care about my face, my hair, my looks," he said in the television interview. "I'm ready to be completely bald, look like a Frankenstein. It will have no impact on my heart, on my soul. All my inner self, all my energy is focused on recovering eyesight."

(AP) ? Hundreds of giddy Ravens fans poured into the streets Sunday night, whooping, hollering, dancing, and high-fiving complete strangers as they celebrated the team's 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Patrons who had packed into Mother's Federal Hill Grille to watch the team's second Super Bowl appearance since the team arrived in Baltimore in 1996 jumped up onto the bar and began belting out a rendition of the Queen song "We are the champions," as bartenders sprayed purple party string into the air.

"I love this team. I love this city!" screamed Andrew Bieler, 21, immediately after the game ended.

Michael Falls, 25, said he plans to take Monday off from his accounting job and his boss was going to do the same.

"I'm going to live up the night," he said.

Footage from local television stations showed police mounted on horseback circling around the crowds to maintain order.

"The Baltimore Ravens once again demonstrated strength, poise, and perseverance as they prevailed in Super Bowl XLVII," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a statement.

The mayor urged fans to celebrate responsibly and noted that hundreds of additional police officers were patrolling the streets to "ensure a safe environment."

Fans wearing the team's signature black-and-purple jerseys and purple-feathered boas said they were especially happy for retiring middle linebacker Ray Lewis, No. 52, the only current player who started with the team when it came to the city.

The victory celebration is "90 percent for Ray, 10 percent for the city of Baltimore," said Darren Love, 40.
