It’s a simple process, really; you walk up to the console, enter a number, and either the microchip implanted in your body at birth immediately kills you or a little slot underneath the screen pops out a wad of cash and you move on with your life.
The lines were long, so you had plenty of time to people watch. Most people walked away with nothing; anything short of 90% chance of sudden death wouldn’t get you any money, and less than $1000 was just not worth it, even for teenagers who thought they were invincible. Only a few people actually took the risk. You could tell which ones they were by how they tensed right before hitting the confirmation button at the bottom of the screen. And then went entirely limp as they crumpled to the ground, losing their gamble. Not one of them got their money.
As the person in front of you stepped up to the console, you idly wondered if the cash slots still worked, or if they had rusted closed from disuse. Or maybe there never even was any money in there.
And suddenly, it was your turn. You stepped up to the console, palms slightly sweaty. Of course, you had no intention of taking any chances, but it was still a little nerve-wracking to be only one typo away from death. There was a fingerprint scanner and a small number pad underneath the screen, which was black with three large words printed across it in white: "ENTER YOUR NUMBER."
You swallowed, scanned your thumb on the scanner, and used the number pad to do just that: 0. Just to be safe, you entered a few more 0's, a period, and some more 0's. Wouldn't want something weird to happen with unfilled digits. You hit the "enter" key on the number pad and held your breath.
The console's message changed: "CALCULATING REWARD..." It would come out to 0, then announce that you were free to--
The screen suddenly went blue, and from the sounds of protest from the people around you, yours wasn't the only one. As the technicians -- who were really just there to tote out the corpses of the foolish -- worked their way through the crowd, white text appeared on the screen:
Error on line 15:
Illegal operation: divide by 0
When a technician finally reached your side, he took one look at the console and cursed. "God dammit, who's the asshole who put in 0?!"
"Um... that may have been me," you admit sheepishly. You had no idea what was going on; of the hundreds of teenagers at the consoles before you who had also refused to risk death, not one of them had broken the machine, but somehow you had?
The technician shot you a disparaging look as he pulled a foldable keyboard out of his pocket and plugged it into a port hidden on the side of the console. "Seriously? Couldn't you have just jumped off of a building like a normal person? You didn't have to come in here and break our machine..."
The technician started tapping away at his keyboard, still grumbling, while your brain worked furiously to figure out what he was talking about. Why would he think you were suicidal for entering 0? You entered 0 because you wanted 0% chance of death--
Your heart skipped a beat as you realized. The number the machine wanted wasn't chance of death -- you were supposed to tell it your chance of life. Every person ahead of you who had made the same choice had entered 100%; you, on the other hand, had asked the machine for certain death.
In a daze, you watched the console screen as the technician worked. Instead of its usual simple, almost menacing black interface, it now displayed the rolling hills of a version of Windows older than you were with a terminal window pulled up in the corner. You didn't know much about coding, but you suspected that the mere 20 lines of code pulled up in the terminal were the entirety of what ran the machine.
The technician groaned. "Are you kidding me?! Why does it decide the money before it even decides if the person is going to live to see it?! And there's not any kind of error handling! How has it taken this long for the machine to break? I'd heard that it was shitty, but I didn't think it was this bad!"
You barely understood a word of what he said, but you did get the important part: you had asked the machine for certain death and been spared by a technical error. With a few more key presses on the technician's keyboard, the console returned to its original screen. The technician folded his keyboard away and turned to go.
"Wait...!" you called after him. "What should I do?"
The technician sighed and turned around. "Well, you can't use the console again -- the machine already marked your fingerprints as used," he told you. "At least there's an actual database hooked up to this thing so we didn't lose everything when it crashed," he added under his breath. The technician returned to his normal volume. "You're not getting any money, if that's what you're asking. Just be grateful you still have your life and get out of here."
His expression softened. "And, maybe take it as a new lease on life?" He put a hand on your shoulder. "I promise you, kid, life can be tough, but it's almost always worth living. Don't forget that, okay?" He awkwardly pat your shoulder before walking back to his post at the edge of the room.
You took his advice and left the room, truly grateful to be breathing in a way that, suicidal or not, you never had been before.
At 18 everyone must go to “the machine” and choose a percent that represents the odds the machine will not euthanize you. Those who live are granted 1000/(x^5) dollars. You confuse the meaning of the numbers and become the first person to ever put 0, but when the machine activates, you survive.
#mayfly mayscribe#some worldbuilding things that got left out because I'm actually learning to do that:#$1000 definitely seems like a lot to an 18 year old who doesn't have to pay for their living expenses#but since The Choice is already ingrained in their culture#it is extensively covered in education and many parents will also impress on their kids that $1000 is not worth a 90%+ chance of death.#Some people do win the money but between the low number of people who actually try it and the low chance of it succeeding#it is rare enough to be a newsworthy event.#Over time the technicians have become less and less actual coders who can successfully troubleshoot issues#and more and more burly dudes who can actually carry out the occasional body. Cause you know most CS majors are not particularly strong.#Not that the original technicians were ever super capable; I mean just look at the code college grad Dave wrote to control life and death.#But anyways the other technicians don't actually know what they're doing so they just stood around looking important#while our guy fixed everything and grumbled about Dave's shitty code.#Anyways sorry this is what happens when you give CS person a CS-adjacent prompt.

This is chapter two of I-don’t-know-how-many of the story of how Miguel and Emily met. I’m calling this series “Ithaca”. No warnings except for some colorful use of language.
Ithaca, being a college town, is quieter in the summer. It receives its fair share of tourists and hikers, but not enough to make up for the mass exodus of undergrads, who circle back home to celebrate Fourth of July weekend with their families. Every year it’s the same story. Students come home to learn that nonna will never understand why a stance against industrial farming is enough to refuse to eat her meat lasagna. Parents are alarmed to learn that their children are adults now and can say ‘no’ when they’re told to eat something for grandma’s sake. Students return to campus with stories of an uncle going off on a rant about gender-neutral bathrooms, slippery slopes, and government-sanctioned decimation of masculinity. “The liberal agenda uses post-secondary education to brainwash young people.” It’s the kind of nonsense uttered by a family member that makes one wish they could sever a branch off the family tree. The conversations overheard at the campus bar are more relaxed during the break. No one’s arguing politics and discussing freshman-level philosophy in crowded booths. Even the volume of cases brought up to the legal aid office is significantly reduced. Emily Thomas knows this because she’s sitting at her desk, hoping for a PolSci major to show up to file a grievance claim against her capitalist Econ professor. With her feet propped up on the desk, she bounces a rubber band ball against the wall of her cubicle. Her computer screen lights up and she scrambles for the mouse to read the new message.
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Now you have no excuse to skip the most important meal of the day. Miguel
The email isn’t a work-related task to keep her busy and make the day go faster, but it’s certainly a welcome addition to her inbox. She grins from ear to ear as she remembers waking up that morning to an unexpected delivery of fresh flowers and croissants.
The day before, Miguel called and asked how she was doing. She wasn’t planning on telling him but she did briefly mention she was feeling tired and unwell. He wouldn’t let it go until she told him her symptoms. And she wouldn’t let him forget that he was a businessman, not a doctor. “Have you eaten today?” She wrestled with the idea of embellishing the truth by saying she had more than just a granola bar while heading out to the office, but she couldn’t do it. He sounded so concerned and so determined to help her even when he was thousands of miles away in California. “No wonder you’re so tired.” “It was my choice to sleep in,” she told him. “It’s fine. I’m fine. I swear.” He groans on the other end of the line. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have kept you up all night.” It was true, but they had both decided to ignore the time difference and continue talking on the phone for hours. It was silly, but neither one wanted to stop hearing the other’s voice.
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Thank you, but I can’t get used to it. I’m sleeping early tonight and making my own breakfast in the morning. I’m thinking a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a giant mug of coffee. P.S. How did you know my favorite flowers are blue hydrangeas? Emily
She hits send and waits for his response. There are no new messages in her inbox and no one coming through the doors seeking legal assistance. She likes working for legal aid when there’s actually something to do, but it’s idle days like these that make her wish she had tried to secure that internship at Olivia Williams’ office. A huge motivator would be the invaluable work experience she’d gain working at a District Court, and yet there’s a small part of her that’s motivated by wicked curiosity. It’s been a little over a month since she met Miguel Galindo at the alumni event. She’s spoken to him on the phone a few times. They’ve exchanged friendly emails and the occasional naughty text message — nothing obscene. She can’t help it when the man knows just what to say to elicit a similarly flirty response. And yet, in spite of all their conversations, she still has this strange feeling the man is a mystery. He tells her about flying to Hong Kong to meet with a client. He’s on the phone as he walks through a bustling city, describing every detail and confessing how much he wishes she could be there right beside him. He apologizes when he rings her late. He admits he’s had a few too many to drink, then he grumbles something barely coherent about his father’s expectations, before asking about her day. Emily doesn’t press. She’s learned quickly that Miguel can only be so vulnerable to a degree. There are moments when the man wants to reveal a piece of himself to her, but he stops himself and switches near-seamlessly with such control one barely notices. She also doesn’t press because, when Miguel asks questions, she isn’t completely honest. She tells him everything about who she is and where she came from while omitting one vital element to the whole story. In doing so, the story reads like someone else’s. It’s only fair they’re a mystery to each other.
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I like spoiling you. It’s the least I can do since I can’t physically be there to take you out to dinner and show you a good time (I’ll leave the rest to your imagination). I’m hoping it keeps you interested until I can free up my schedule and fly up there to see you again. In case you didn’t know, I do want to see you again. About the flowers, I didn’t know they were your favorite. I just picked the ones that reminded me most of your eyes. Tienes hermosos ojos, Emily. Miguel
When Emily arrives home from work, she’s so tired she doesn’t register the image of her apartment drowning in blue hydrangeas. Every surface is covered in crystal or ceramic vases piled high and full of flowers. The summer breeze wafts in, swirling in the fragrant floral perfume. “Your boyfriend is madly in love with you.” Julia appears from behind a wall; she’s carrying a tall, cylindrical vase with — you guessed it — blue hydrangeas. “He’s not my boyfriend,” Emily says as she drops her bag to the floor. “And he’s not in love with me.” “Please.” Julia rolls her eyes as she sets the vase down on the last available square inch on their dining table. “All of this must’ve cost a fortune. No man buys out every florist in the state to impress a girl he only likes a little bit. He’s totally in love with you.” “This is chump change to someone like him.” Emily bites down on her bottom lip to try to keep her smile at bay. She doesn’t think her roommate is anywhere near the ballpark in identifying Miguel’s feelings for her; but she has to admit, it makes her feel giddy to hear that he likes her enough to pull off such an over-the-top, romantic gesture. “I shouldn’t have mentioned they were my favorite. Now what are we going to do with all of this?” “Take a million selfies.” Julia holds her phone out, pouts her lips like the long-lost redhead Kardashian-Jenner, and snaps a picture. “Then we send them over to the retirement home as per Mr. Ga-lin-do’s instructions.” “You’re kidding?” Julia holds up a card between her fingers, and before she knows it Emily has snatched it out of her grasp.
Emily,
I like spoiling you, but I know that’s not who you are. So enjoy these flowers and keep only what you want. Someone will come by later this evening to pick up the rest of them to send them to the Cayuga Retirement Home on your behalf. Espero verte antes de que las flores mueran. Miguel
“Forget law school. Forget the internship,” Julia says, her eyes wide as saucers. “Marry him.” Emily laughs. “Are you high?” “Think about it. You never have to worry about a thing in your life. The man is successful, loaded, and — not to mention — fucking gorgeous. And he’s nice to old people. So he clearly has a heart….” Julia goes on hyping up Miguel based on the extensive Google search she conducted when they arrived home from the alumni event. Of course, everything she found about Miguel and the Galindos was a carefully designed public relations project only showing the family’s legal businesses and involvement in philanthropy. Emily looks around her and feels sick. All these flowers going to the seniors at the retirement home — does Miguel actually care about them or is it just a superficial gesture to make it seem like he has a heart? “…Okay, Em. I’m not saying you can’t be a lawyer and a self-made independent woman. Yay girl power.” Julia pumps her fist up in the air but her expression lacks the enthusiasm to make it convincing. “But think about not having to worry about money or climbing the ladder and having to prove yourself to all these men with penises for brains.” “Jules, I like Miguel. But I’m not dating him for his —” she shakes her head. What they’re doing can’t really be called dating because they’ve only talked on the phone and sent messages and emails. They’ve only seen each other once and that was the night they met. “— I’m not interested in his money.” “You can’t say that it’s not tempting.”
It’s not one delivery person who picks up the flowers; it’s a whole team of them who are in and out of the apartment in under five minutes. When they’re finished, a man in a suit appears at the hallway. He carries with him a bottle of wine and another card from his boss. Julia happily takes the bottle and pours two glasses, clearly enjoying the privileges of her roommate being wooed by a Galindo.
Emily, Enjoy girls’ night with your roommate. Tell her you’ll be too busy to hang out tomorrow. Miguel
Emily ignores the offered wine glass as she storms into her room, slamming the door behind her. She reaches for her phone and types out the message, hitting send before she can reconsider and chicken out from telling him what’s really on her mind. “Awfully presumptuous of you to think I’d be too busy to hang out with Julia tomorrow night.” She huffs as she slumps down the floor, her head thrown back on the edge of the mattress. Her phone dings within seconds and it’s a message from Miguel. “May I take you out for an overdue date tomorrow night?” Another blue speech bubble appears before she’s even read the last word. “Please.” Emily sets the phone face down and groans. Outside, she can hear Julia turn up the music and yell at her to come join her free-wine celebratory dance party. Picking her phone up, she types her response and hits send. “What should I wear?” Three dots appear on the screen and she waits for over a minute only for it to disappear. She’s resigned to muttering under her breath, calling this whole thing stupid and silly when her phone alerts her again to a new message. It’s Miguel and he’s not only texted her back, but he’s also sent a picture of himself leaning back on a leather office chair, his tie loosened and top few buttons undone. His hair’s a bit unkempt and his normally clean-shaven face now sports a five-o’clock shadow that she’s very much fond of. Very. Much. Underneath the picture are the words “surprise me.”
It’s impossible to sleep that night. Splitting the bottle of wine with Julia doesn’t help in sedating her because all she feels is buzzed with excitement and anxiety. She’s seeing Miguel tomorrow. They’ve talked almost every other night. They text all day like teenagers with smart phones for an extra limb. But who knows what it’ll be like when they’re physically in the same place? The last time they were together, they met for the first time and kissed. What are his expectations for this date? What are hers? Is she ready to sleep with him? She rifles through her closet for something to wear. A lot of her nicer dresses are for professional events so they’re tailored to fit her body, but she doesn’t think they’re sexy enough. They’re a little too librarian, she thinks. Miguel said to surprise her, and she knows he didn’t say ‘wear something sexy’, but what else could he mean? It’s half past seven in the morning when she wakes up on a pile of clothes. Her phone alarm is going off but she’s misplaced the damn thing. She groans when she realizes the muffled noise must mean it’s somewhere underneath all her dresses that are now wrinkled and even more unsuitable for her date tonight. When she finally unearths her phone and stops the alarm, she sees there’s one new message from Miguel. “No pude evitarlo. Enjoy your breakfast.” When Emily opens her bedroom door, she finds Julia pulling out take-out containers from a brown paper bag. They open up to reveal breakfast chilaquiles and tacos — still hot like they were freshly made in a chef’s kitchen not too far from their building. “I could really get used to this boyfriend of yours.” Emily sighs as she takes one of the containers and begins to dig into the food. “That’s what I’m afraid of,” she says, even though the first bite has her mentally praising him for doing really well by choosing to send her a Mexican breakfast. It fills her nostalgia bar and makes her miss home, but she ignores all the other thoughts and memories that start to creep back in. Later that morning, as she’s heading out to work in casual Friday jeans and a plain white t-shirt, she shoots a quick message to Miguel, “You’ve ruined Taco Bell for my roommate.” “It’s a responsibility I take very seriously.”
Work is strangely busy that day — so busy she almost forgets about her date with Miguel, which works out because it helps her stay focused on her job. It’s not until one of the case managers stops by her desk that she’s reminded of her plans on a Friday night. Julia would be so proud if she wasn’t at the apartment still sleeping off her hangover. The co-worker who stops by is a middle-aged woman, who only ever wears cat-eye glasses and vintage 50s-style dresses in the brightest colors. “Emily, right?” She reaches over the cubicle wall to offer a handshake. “I’m Bettina from case management. I don’t think we’ve formally met.” “No, we haven’t,” Emily says as she shakes her hand. “But I’m glad to finally meet you.” “I just wanted to say thank you.” “Thank you? For what?” Bettina raises a brow. “For the flowers… I was visiting my grandmother at the retirement home when they got a massive delivery of hydrangeas. The nurse said they were from you.” “Oh…” Emily’s eyes widen as she recalls the flowers spilling all over her apartment and how that must’ve looked arriving en masse to the retirement home. She feels her cheeks flush at the thought of all these people thinking she’s some kind of saint for sending flowers to all these elderly people. “It wasn’t really from me.” “No?” “It’s a long story,” she begins to explain. “Some guy who was kind of excessive with the flowers.” Bettina smiles impishly. “Well, aren’t you a lucky girl.”
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Doesn’t work end at five?
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] It does…. Why?
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] It’s fifteen after and you’re still working.
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] That’s creepy. How do you know I’m still working?
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Turn off your computer, go outside, and find out.
Emily makes him wait. It’s true -- she’s finishing up some work, but it’s work that can wait until Monday. Nonetheless, she makes him wait another fifteen minutes if, indeed, he is outside as she suspects. Inside, she’s bursting with excitement, but she’s trying her best to keep calm and composed while she fills in the last blanks on the form before hitting the submit button. Logging out of the system, she starts collecting her things, sliding some of the items on her desk into a weathered brown tote. She silently curses herself when she eyeballs herself in a small mirror on her desk. She unties her hair from its messy bun and smooths the wrinkles out of her t-shirt. It’s only then she notices a faint orange stain from the popsicle she had for lunch.
There’s a pang of disappointment when the elevator reaches the lobby of the building and Miguel is nowhere to be found. She pushes the doors open, her head lowered to shield her eyes from the sun beating down her face. She’s reaching into her bag for her sunglasses when she catches a glimpse of a man leaning against a cherry-red convertible. “Hi.” She blinks back at him, not sure if it’s because he looks good dressed down in jeans and a white button-down with the sleeves rolled up, or if it’s because the sun’s rays are obscuring her vision. “I caught an earlier flight,” he says with a sheepish smile as he pushes himself off the car. “I hope you don’t mind.” “No… uh, hi.” Miguel meets her at the middle of the sidewalk, his body shielding the sun behind him. As he lowers his aviators, his smile widens. “Worth the wait.” Her breath hitches in her throat, her heart pounding. Emily leans up and kisses him, palms flat on his chest. Miguel isn’t expecting it so he’s knocked back a step, but he quickly takes hold of her waist to help steady himself. She moans into the kiss when his fingertips dig a little deeper, finding warm skin and straining to do more than kissing on a public sidewalk would allow. She pulls away, chest rising and falling and heart racing a mile a minute. He doesn’t let go of her waist as he laughs softly before he kisses the shell of her ear. “Let’s get out of here.”
He’s a gentleman. The night they met, he gave her his jacket to keep her warm. Tonight, he holds the door open for her, taking her hand as she slides onto the passenger seat. Emily takes a deep breath to quiet the restless thoughts running through her mind. All of those reservations she had about him that were so easy to ignore when he was far away — all of them come back as she takes in the scent of expensive leather. It’s not the money that tempts her. It’s the danger of where that money comes from; it’s the excitement in the dark look in his eyes. Miguel slides into the driver’s side and sticks the key with the yellow horse into the ignition. And as the engine comes to life, it roars.
Ithaca is no longer quiet in the summer.

3. IT IS DIFFICULT TO MONITOR:
With the use of mobile phones and social media, students are more likely to cheat on tests and employ unfair methods. It's difficult to catch and monitor such behavior.As a result, the English medium school south Kolkata ensures that pupils use social media platforms responsibly and do not spend time on them by viewing irrelevant content. Learning and various extracurricular activities are encouraged through such channels, which drive students to excel in all aspects of their lives. For more details visit https://www.bdmi.org, admissions are ongoing for the academic year 2022-2023.

Section 1 Artist sketchbook
Gerhard Ritcher-
Gerhard Richter was born in Dresden on 9th February 1932, the first child of Horst and Hildegard Richter. A daughter, Gisela, followed four years later. They were in many respects an average middle-class family: Horst worked as a teacher at a secondary school in Dresden and Hildegard was a bookseller who liked to play the piano. In an interview with Robert Storr, Richter described his early family life as "simple, orderly, structured – mother playing the piano and father earning money." In 1935, Horst accepted a teaching position at a school in Reichenau, a town which today is known as Bogatynia in Poland, at the time located in the German province, Saxony. Settling in Reichenau was a drastic change for the family, which was accustomed to the vivid cultural life of the larger Dresden.3 Yet, it was also a move that would keep the family largely safe from the coming war. In the late 1930s, Horst was conscripted into the German army, captured by Allied forces, and detained as a prisoner of war until Germany's defeat. In 1946, he was released and returned to his family, who had again relocated, this time to Waltersdorf, a village on the Czech border., The post-war years caused difficulties for the Richter family, as for many others. Horst’s return was not that of a war-hero. Commenting on this period in later life, Richter reflected: "Horst shared most father's fate at the time nobody wanted them." In an interview from 2004, he added: "We were so alienated that we didn't know how to deal with each other." Horst’s former membership of the National Socialist Party, which all teachers had been obliged to join under the Nazi regime, made it difficult for him to return to teaching. He eventually ended up working in a textile mill nearby in Zittau, before finding a post as an administrator of a distance learning program for an educational institution in Dresden. Richter has remarked on his early years with a mixture of fondness and frustration, sadness and excitement. He reminisced about the house in which he was born, on Grossenhainer Strasse in Dresden: "it was not far from the original Circus Sarrasani building, whereas a young boy – I could see the elephant stalls through the cellar windows. I remember my great-grandmother's sewing box, made of armadillo skin, and a man falling from a ladder – something that, according to my parents, only I had seen." Not much is documented about Richter's time in Reichenau, but he has talked about his experiences of Waltersdorf: "we had moved to a new village, and automatically I was an outsider. I couldn't speak the dialect and so on." In 1942, because he turned 10 years old, Richter was required to join the ‘Pimpfen’, a mandatory organisation for children that prepared them for the Hitler Youth. Later, Richter attended grammar school in Zittau but eventually dropped out. He has been described as "a highly gifted child but notoriously bad in school, " with Dietmar Elger noting that "he even got poor grades in a drawing." He ended up attending a vocational school instead, studying stenography, bookkeeping, and Russian.
While too young to be drafted into the German army during the Second World War, the war nonetheless had a deep impact on Richter. The family experienced economic hardship and personal loss: Hildegard's brothers, Rudi and Alfred, and sister, Marianne, all died as a consequence of the war. "It was sad when my mother's brothers fell in battle. First the one, then the other. I'll never forget how the women screamed," Richter recalls. Marianne, who suffered from mental health problems, was starved to death in a psychiatric clinic.
Even though Waltersdorf was spared the extensive bombing that nearby Dresden was exposed to, it was not sheltered. Speaking to Jan-Thorn Prikker, Richter has said: "the retreating German soldiers, the convoys, the low-flying Russian planes shooting at refugees, the trenches, the weapons lying around everywhere, artillery, broken down cars. Then the invasion of the Russians ransacking, rapes, a huge camp where us kids sometimes got barley soup." As a child, the military had fascinated Richter: "When the soldiers came through the village, I went up to them and wanted to join them." He explained to Storr: "when you're twelve years old you're too little to understand all that ideological hocus- pocus." Richter remembers playing in the woods and trenches with his friends, shooting with forgotten rifles which they found lying around: "I thought it was great. I was fascinated, like all kids." The bombings of Dresden made an enduring impression on Richter: "in the night, everyone came out onto the street of our village 100 kilometers away. Dresden was being bombed, "now, at this moment!" Following the Potsdam agreement at the end of the war, the area in which Richter lived fell under Soviet control. The Second World War profoundly changed the face of the country that Richter had been born into, which had a lasting effect on Richter's education and later artistic practice.

Abstract Painting(726)
1990
Abstract Painting (726) 1990 is a large-scale diptych by the German artist Gerhard Richter, comprising two joined sections of canvas and characterised by shimmering horizontal forms. As the title implies, there are no clear representational elements depicted in the painting, but within its thick layers of colour – especially prominent are white, red and a rusty orange – there is the suggestion of an original image that has become blurred. The work is also marked by several scratches, mostly vertical, that Richter has made through the paint.
Abstract painting No. 439
For many years Richter used photographs as a source for his figurative works. In the mid-1970s he began to incorporate photography into the process of making abstract paintings. This work was made by photographing one of his smaller compositions (Oil Sketch No. 432/11), which he then projected onto a large canvas, and then traced in charcoal. He completed the larger painting with conventional brushes and oil paint, working the surface into a smooth state of finish which suggests the glossy surface of a photograph.
‘St John’
1988
St John belongs to a series called the ‘London Paintings’, each named after one of the chapels of Westminster Abbey. The titles are not meant to be descriptive but refer merely to associations connected with the artist’s visits to London. Since 1980 Richter has made his abstract paintings by manipulating spatulas of different lengths, loaded with paint, across areas of the canvas. New layers of colour cover earlier ones. Richter’s inability to control the precise distribution of paint allows a degree of chance to determine the paintings’ final appearance.
Mund (Mouth)(Brigitte Bardot's Lips) (1963)
Mund is one of Richter's first paintings completed from a photograph. The painting is sexually suggestive, depicting Brigitte Bardot's open mouth adorned with red lipstick. Blurred flesh tones hint at Richter's painting process, beginning with a realist rendering and incorporating rollers, squeegees, and dry-brush techniques to mask the surface. The work suggests the artist viewing reality from a detached perspective, as he resists any moment of a clear focus on the overall image.
1024 Farben(1024 Colors) (1973)
Richter employs a systematic approach to the canvas in his color-chart-based painting 1024 Farben (1024 Colors). Superficially reminiscent of the neo-Dadaist, the 1950s "Hard Edge" abstraction of Ellsworth Kelly, Richter chooses here to systematically paint squares of colors based on the predetermined structure of the color wheel. The only intervention of the artist in an otherwise mechanical process seems to be his control of the scale of the canvas itself, the artist's having arranged the colour combinations via reference to a logical, predetermined schema.
Richter has similarly applied his paint as before, manipulating the paint with a squeegee when the paint is very newly applied, hence its fluid character. Richter does not maintain a horizontal direction as he glides his squeegee across the surface, rather he plays with it.
Ritcher was a brilliant artist I personally love his work with the overlaying of paint on the photos are amazing and eye catching it makes the work rallying interesting and a different viewing of it.
“To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing-- what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that.” ― Gerhard Richter
Neo Sauch
Born in 1960, Neo Rauch is the son of Hanno Rauch and Helga Wand, who both studied art at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig. Tragically, Rauch's parents died together in a train accident when their newborn son was only four weeks old, and Rauch necessarily spent much of his life growing up with his grandparents in Aschersleben, a town that forms part of the Salzlandkreis district in Germany. Rauch grew up during the construction of the Berlin Wall and thus lived his formative years in what was then regarded as East Germany, and undoubtedly influential experience leading him to stay forever clear of making art for propaganda or under the service of politics. For to do so would obscure opening up free dialogue in art, with politics intent on the portrayal of only one rigid message.
Rauch's passion for art began at a young age. As a child, his peers were interested in sports and playing cards whilst he recalls a natural interest in literature, culture, and drawing; this disparity of interests often made him feel lonely. Rauch remembers the importance of a day when he was 12 years old and discovered a book containing reproductions of Salvador Dalí's work on his grandfather's bookshelf. Further citing the early building blocks of his career, Rauch talks of the great opportunity that he saw in the art to be able to transfer the mode of play into professionalism; any other option was simply "out of question"
Early Training and Work
Between 1981 and 1986, Rauch studied at Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig (the very same school that his parents had attended) under the professors Arno Rink and Bernhard Heisig. It was from there that Rauch emerged as a prominent figure in the "New Leipzig School", a title for a movement that surfaced post-reunification in 1990 in an attempt to unite a group of artists who seemed loyal to painting figurative scenes of East German life. However, this was a label given by critics and historians and none of the artists associated with the term subscribed to it or deemed it useful. Rauch's work in particular always remained distinct from the dominant Social Realism of East Germany, and the Neo-Expressionist styles of the West. Even in his early work, he had developed a unique poetic narrative style and assertively refused to subscribe to any movement or moment in history.In an interview with Zeit.de, Rauch recalled when he first personally met his influential friend and teacher, Arno Rink. Rauch stated that Rink had an appearance akin to writer Thomas Mann combined with an attitude that demanded respect. Reminding the young artist of the demands expected whilst enlisted in the National People's Army (the national service that all young men still undertake in Germany), Rauch said that Rink's attitude was one that he understood and was happy to answer with respect. During his studies, Rauch cites that he admired Rink's precision of detail and a sense of magic within his colour palette.
During this time, in 1985, Rauch married his fellow artist and representative of the "New Leipzig School", Rosa Loy. In various interviews, Rauch discusses the couple's dynamic as two working artists, stating that they do not view each other as competition and are both proud of each other's success, jokingly elaborating upon their frequent chess games where Loy always wins whilst simultaneously knitting and listening to music with one earphone.
Between 1986 and 1990, Rauch chose to further his education by continuing to study for his Masters at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig. The 1980s was a crucial phase in Rauch's life, as it was in the University environment that he began to feel like less of an outsider. It was also at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst that Rauch met Judy Lybke, a life-long friend who also became the founder of EIGEN+ART gallery, Rauch's gallerist, and instrumental in his commercial success.
In 1989, the Berlin Wall collapsed, and in 1990, Rauch and Loy's son was born, the latter of which events Rauch described as "The greatest change in my life...That's when I crossed over into greater responsibility, but at the same time it offered me the chance to embrace child-play once again". Between the years 1993 and 1998, Rauch decided to further his practice as an artist by working as an assistant for his teachers, Arno Rink and Sighard Gille at Leipziger Akademie. During this time Rauch had already started to exhibit his own work but he initially achieved little success and attracted no interest. In 1993, Rauch had his first solo show at EIGEN + ART in Leipzig, recalling it as a "commercial disaster" likely because video and installation were very popular at the time.
Waiting for the Barbarians
2007
Waiting for the Barbarians is a 2007 painting by the German artist Neo Rauch. To the right in the picture is a carnival where a minotaur is cheered on a stage, while to the left another minotaur is about to be burned at the stake. The picture also includes several other people and creatures.
Tal
1999
Tal is a 1999 painting by the German artist Neo Rauch. It depicts two men in boxing shorts and shoes who fight each other with long sticks. In the foreground is a red, wooden manger with the word "Tal", which is German for the valley.
die große störung
1999
Reactionary Situation
2002
Reactionary Situation is a 2002 painting by the German artist Neo Rauch. It depicts a rural landscape with poplars, a dilapidated manor house, a little girl, a man working the ground with a stick, a man praying on his knees before a floating windmill and a colourful rifle mounted on the ground
Rauch work is very abstract bold and very trippy looking. Mostly set in the army time with war and cutouts of other items that don't fit in with the theme but it goes and makes sense with how it flows and use bold colours and and using blues and browns as the shadow and and depth in it.

Children Learning Reading Review! One of the Best Reading Programs for Kids!
Welcome back to Best Case Parenting and today I would like to do a product review. A reading program review of a very interesting reading system parents can use with their young children. Welcome to my Children Learning Reading Review!
Please note: As with all reviews on Best Case Parenting, our reading product reviews are always totally unbiased and independent. We want to be a resource any parent can trust, and we can only achieve this with independent reviews, free of bias and any outside influences.
We all know that parenting is one of the most important and hardest things in the world! Most parents agonize over the best way they can bring up and help educate their child. This is a perfectly normal response for most parents….wanting to give their offspring the best possible opportunity at a bright future. Wanting to teach reading to your child in the best way possible is just a part of that.
Therefore, my aim on Best Case Parenting is to try and lighten the load. Providing articles that offer advice to parents, to help work through typical parenting problems and concerns.
Also, to highlight products and services that are of high quality and offer the support parents need! We also always do honest reviews, where we have actually used and experienced the product. You will never find generic or copy and paste reviews on this site! Period!
One of those such products is being reviewed today, and it is in the area of teaching reading to children. For many parents reading is a hot topic and something they strive to help their child pick up with as little drama and stress as possible. Clearly, reading skills are considered key for many parents of young children.
The reading system I am looking at today will help you understand how children learn to read, as well as how to teach phonics to a young child. This program could even be included when looking for reading strategies for struggling readers.
SO WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
This product is called “Children learning reading” and has been put together by a couple, Jim Yang and his wife Elena. They went through a process of extensive research when getting their children reading, and now they want to pass this new found knowledge to others. This product should allow your child to pick up reading in a fun and seamless way.
“Children learning reading” is suitable for any child from the ages two through to six years old. Pretty much any child that has started speaking is able to be taught with this program. To back this up, Jim has videos of his own children reading when they were toddlers.
I wanted do a Children Learning Reading review, as I see a lot of parents who worry about how to teach their child phonics and everything that entails. I went into this review hoping that I had found a good solution to this problem many parents find when getting their children reading!
Jim Yang (the main founder of this reading system) is not some famous children’s guru or well known figure on daytime TV! He is just a normal guy with a real passion for children learning reading. I have been really impressed by the level of research he has put into his reading program, and you can see his passion coming through! It is not just a thrown together reading system, but one developed with a clear scientific based approach.
If you are in doubt as to Jim Yang’s credentials or passion for this project, I recommend you go and look at his Youtube channel. Even now, he is putting out some really informative and helpful videos on the subject! Like the one below. Thanks Jim for all your continued contribution to the world of learning reading :
youtube
WHY IS THIS PRODUCT IMPORTANT?
As I stated earlier, many parents see reading as an important part of raising a child. After all, reading forms the basis of most adult lives in our society. Unless you have a background in teaching or education, you likely have no idea how to teach your child to read and are left with many questions. When you do have a clearer idea of how children learn to read and how to teach phonics, you will feel much more comfortable with helping your child.
Not only should this product clear up these problems. It should also give you a clear focus and step by step program to follow.
I think you can already tell that I like this product! The fact it is even being mentioned on Best Case Parenting should be a sign of that already! Most products don’t get too far along if I find out they are inferior or not suitable in some way!
I am a preschool teacher with over 12 years experience of teaching reading skills, and when I got access to this product, I could quickly tell that it would be a lifeline for any parent struggling with teaching reading.
I have done degrees and spend many years perfecting this skill as a teacher. By using “Children learning reading” you are able to gain a lot of this expertise much faster, and in an easy to understand format.
Getting children reading should NOT be stressful for parents! Hopefully, you will see this after reading my Children Learning Reading review!!
WHAT DOES THIS PRODUCT OFFER?
I want to clear something up first when it comes to this particular reading review. This is not really an online reading program. Yes, you access it online, but this is a learning program that you (the parent) will need to manually teach your child. So, if you are looking for a more hands off online reading program or system, then Children Learning Reading is not for you. Just a heads up to start 🙂
The thing that hit me very quickly when I first started out reviewing this product, is the fact that it offers a complete package. It is not just a set of lessons to follow with no explanation. It will also guide you in the reasons and theory behind their teaching approach. This will give parents a full understanding of what they are doing and the proven research that backs it up.
It is much easier to follow through with something you understand, rather being asked to blindly follow!
As a teacher, I have mentioned on this site before the importance of short but sharp inputs when teaching a young child anything. This product follows this principal perfectly, specifically offering lesson formats that can be taught in as little as a few minutes at a time. Teaching reading should be fun, not something you are forcing your child to endure. Therefore, this short and sharp format is essential.
In fact when I have trained other colleagues how to teach phonics, the first thing I usually say is do short activities but often. When thinking how children learn to read, the most important thing is to not frustrate or bore them with long and tedious lessons!
We are trying to show our children that reading can be fun, not bore them to tears!
Jim also does a great job in the PDF guides, to talk about “how to get your child to co-operate”. It is great to see that he is covering the fact that every child is different and may require a different approach. And he makes sure to highlight the fact that the teaching should be fun and to stop when any frustration (from child OR parent) begins.
The structure of the course is broken up into two sections. The first 28 lesson section acts as a solid grounding, preparing your child for some more complex aspects that will be covered in section two. Section two is of a similar length, being 22 lessons long.
This course aims to extensively teach your child the phonic knowledge they need to start reading. With this phonic knowledge, words can be broken down and understood in their component parts. In simple terms, a CVC word such as “dog” is broken down into the three phonic sounds “d-o-g”.
What I really love is the fact that each stage is accompanied by a detailed and well written PDF document. This document lays out everything you need to know when it comes to teaching your child to read.
Not only this, but if you buy the slightly more expensive “premium” version, the first stage of lessons is backed up by full video demonstrations. These videos involve Jim going through the lessons with one of his young children. Not only does this show you exactly what you should do, but that it is a realistic and feasible thing to do with young children.
Not only are these videos cute and adorable, but they act as a core hands on resource for parents. It is daunting for some parents when thinking how to teach phonics! This program spells everything out and leaves no stone upturned.
The majority of parents will have no problems following Jim’s reading lessons. Teaching reading skills to your children will become second nature in no time!
When you start a new job (that you have never done before), you don’t just get thrown in at the deep end and asked to start working. You are given some training from someone else doing the exact same job! These videos provide the exact same thing! If you new to teaching phonics and are nervous about the whole thing, they will be perfect!
Some adults have short attention spans too, so these videos are great for those that don’t always want to read lengthy PDF documents. Although, I would say that you should at least read some of the PDF’s, as they often provide a much more in depth explanation.
In fact, write at the start of the first PDF, Jim offers a sort of quick start guide of articles that the busy parent can read to get up and running. So, if you do buy this course, you really have no excuse to not get started straight away!
HOW MUCH IS IT?
Of course, an important factor for a lot of people will be the price. In my opinion, this shouldn’t be a stumbling for this particular phonic/reading program.
As you can see below, the standard package is usually $49.99, which includes everything you will need. I would recommend the slightly more expensive premium package, as it also includes the invaluable video demonstrations.
For such a full and complete reading program in a step by step nature, this price is a steal to me.
That’s the price of a normal full price video game (just about!!), for example. It would baffle me that someone would say that spending $60 on a video is fine, but investing $60 in a valuable resource for their child’s reading skill isn’t!
So, like I said at the start of this section, I wouldn’t imagine price would be an issue for a lot of parents looking at this product!

From Michael Milford, PhD
Dear Friend,
It’s a hard fact – math is an important life skill, but many people struggle with it. Most of the time, this isn’t their fault – math is quite challenging when it’s taught the way it is nowadays in schools, colleges, courses and textbooks. It’s even harder when you have to go back and relearn math as an adult.
But it doesn’t have to be like this
Imagine being able to really understand even the most challenging math topics. When you understand what you’re doing, math actually becomes enjoyable to do.
When you understand the key math concepts and ideas, you succeed in math exams because you can adapt and adjust to the problems in the exam being different to what you’ve done in practice.
On the other hand, if you just rote learn what your teacher, lecturer or textbook tells you, you’ll struggle to get a good grade. Memorizing topics may work in geography or history, but it sure doesn’t work in math.
Imagine the satisfaction you’d get from seeing your math abilities improving and your grades getting better and better.

Backstory:
Left for dead as a child, Cackletta was taken in my the fugitive scientist, Fawful, and soon became the talk of the town's gossip thanks to the yappings of a few witnesses who spotted him retreating from the woods. It seemed like almost everyone wanted to know all the hows and whys of the situation. (A few even believed him to be a pedofile) Under his care, however, she was homeschooled and received an education far more extensive than most of the other children her age. However, she wasn't let to interact with many others outside of Fawful himself out of his fear of Cackletta's wellbeing. It was also fairly evident even at a young age that she suffered from high functioning autism. It made itself known though Cackletta's odd speech patterns and crooked gait, along with an abnormally high IQ. Even in writing, her speech was nearly illegible due to the lingering presence of dyslexia. Not to mention, she found it extremely hard to always stay in one place thanks to her ADHD.
To continue, during one of Fawful's teaching sessions, he became painfully aware of Cackletta's near blindness during an experiment when she accidentally made several mistakes while mixing dangerous chemicals, resulting in an explosion, causing Fawful to be permanently blinded in one eye. (He always covers his right eye with his hair for a reason.) Noticing this, he took it upon himself to find a way to help her with her vision problems. (Those goggles she wears aren't just for show.)
As a child, Cackletta never understood why people would always shoot both her and her master the death glare whenever they ventured outside to get necessities. It turns out that most that knew of the unusual pair strongly disagreed with Fawful's choice to even attempt to raise a child, thinking that either it was too much for him, or that he'd become a horrible influence for her. (and 9/10 they were right). Fawful's parents especially resented his decision, ordering him on more than one occasion that he would be better off giving her up to someone else. A small part of him wanted to, but he couldn't force himself to knowing how much Cackletta had grown on him. To compensate for this however, he insisted that she should refrain from calling him affectionate names like daddy, papa, father etc. and instead refer to him as Master, Lord, Professor, or just simply Sir, especially when out in public. (This backfired however as people became even more weary of them both.). Cackletta didn't have any qualms with this as to her, a title was just a title, wasn't it?
During most of her few interactions with the other Beanish children, the majority either couldn't understand her in the slightest, or decided to poke fun at "The Weirdo's kid". For the few times she experienced positive interaction with the other children, worried parents quickly pulled their young ones aside, warning them about the dangers of bad influences. Any future interactions however quickly dissipated in one small burst of magic. In an attempt to impress the other children, Cackletta created a small blue tongue of magic, forming into a small blue wisp of fire. Soon a large group began to form, consisting of wide eyed, puzzled children, eagerly trying to catch a glimpse of Fawful's most recently taught spell, the Will O' Wick. (It was easily her second favorite, her first being a levitation spell that she used to fly around effortlessly using her home made bat wings.) However, a worried parent who had caught sight of the small licks of fire had called out to her, startling Cackletta which caused her to lose control of the flame. It caught on the soft grass beneath and quickly enveloped a large portion of the green hills surrounding them. Seeing the commotion, Fawful rushed out to extinguish the inferno. The damage had been done though, and from that day foreword, Cackletta was never permitted to interact with any other children again. All was not lost however, as Fawful was incredibly impressed with Cackletta's magical prowess, and decided to accelerate her training. Little did he know that this action would pay off immensely well in his future plans to take over the Beanbean kingdom.

The Best Places to Live in America, 2018: Revenge of the Burbs!
iStock; realtor.com
Home is where the heart is, home is where you make it—but given the option, wouldn’t you want to make your home and store your heart in a place with a great sense of community, excellent schools to set your kids up for success, and affordable homes so you can set yourself up for financial stability?
Of course you would. And we’re here to help!
For the second year in a row, realtor.com® teamed up with Money magazine to come up with its annual Best Places to Live list. Having focused on small towns last year, we set our sights this time around on places with populations of 50,000 or more.
To figure out the best of the best, we took into account more than 135,000 data points, covering economic health, public school performance, local amenities, housing, and cost of living. We disqualified places with high crime rates (more than double the national rate), depressed income (less than 85% of the state median), and a lack of racial diversity.
The resulting list doesn’t feature any of the nation’s best-known big cities (could it be due to their higher crime rates and skyrocketing home prices?), but many suburban towns that are within a decent commute of one. That means you get those classic suburban amenities (a big house, a backyard for barbecues, great public schools) without totally giving up on the big-bucks jobs and fun factor of the big city.
“For someone who’s starting from scratch, this is a list of areas with great quality of life, healthy housing markets where affordability is important, and great overall community,” says Danielle Hale, realtor.com’s chief economist.
Ready? Let’s take a cross-country tour of America’s top-drawer places, 2018. (See the list of all 50 here.)
Best Places to Live
Claire Widman
1. Frisco, TX
Median home price: $449,900 Median household income : $117,642 Population: 177,286
A three-bedroom home in Frisco for less than $500,000.
realtor.com
For the first time in at least five years, Frisco topped the U.S. Census list of America’s fastest-growing big cities. From 2016 to 2017, the city added an average of 37 new residents every day. Over a year, that added up to a population jump of 8.2%.
The city about 30 miles north of Dallas is home to the splashy new headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys, The Star, a megacomplex that includes offices, a hotel, and swanky bars and restaurants. North Texas is on fire economically, and as Mayor Jeff Cheney pointed out in his (apparently unsuccessful) sales video aimed at snagging Amazon’s new headquarters, Frisco still has plenty of room to grow.
With its 177,000 people, Frisco is already a good-sized city—but one that still has a sense of community, says Julie Howell Stutts, who’s been a homeowner there for seven years.
“You still kind of feel like you know everybody here,” she says.
Schools here are top-notch and a prime draw for families. But while in the past the area’s housing consisted of mostly single-family homes, the recent spate of building has included apartment complexes more appealing to single professionals.
2. Ashburn, VA
Median home price: $519,990 Median household income: $120,862 Population: 49,692*
A large home in Ashburn

A couple of decades ago, Ashburn was a country town with just one grocery store. That’s when Kim Rabinowitch and her husband bought a townhouse, just after their marriage.
“We liked it because we could get a lot for our money back then,” she says. But they fell in love with the schools and their neighbors, and when they decided to trade up to a house, they bought one just down the street.
“People want to move into our school district,” Rabinowitch says. “Houses go on the market, and they’re on there for less than a day.”
With great schools and convenient transportation—it’s 10 minutes by car to Washington Dulles Airport and 40 minutes to the District of Columbia, plus there’s a new metro station to DC under construction—it’s no wonder that Ashburn has become popular with commuting federal employees. And other nearby suburban towns such as Tysons Corner and Fairfax offer more job opportunities closer to home.
Single-family homes, many with four to five bedrooms, dominate the housing stock, along with some townhomes. An impressive 83.4% of those homes are owner-occupied.
3. Carmel, IN
Median home price: $374,000 Median household income: $106,546 Population: 92,198
Coxhall Public Garden in Carmel, IN
Purdue9394/iStock
Just 26 miles north of Indianapolis, Carmel has become a sought-after suburban destination for its excellent schools and amenities.
“It’s mostly young families that are moving in,” says Kelly Lavengood, a real estate agent with the Lavengood Team in Indianapolis. “I frequently receive calls from people looking to relocate to Carmel from out of state.”
But it’s not just a magnet for parents—Carmel’s walkable downtown and plentiful parks also make it appealing to empty nesters.
“A lot of times, people think that suburbs are just an extension of the city,” Lavengood says. “But Carmel has really become an entity of its own.”
There’s a variety of homes for Carmel buyers to choose from, from entry-level abodes all the way up to mansions. Architectural styles vary, too—there’s even a pocket of midcentury modern homes designed by Avriel Shull.
4. Ellicott City, MD
Median home price: $558,950 Median household income: $121,019 Population: 70,780*
Shops in Ellicott City, MD
Walter Bibikow/Getty Images
Founded in 1772, Ellicott City has plenty of charm, particularly in its historic downtown district. Here, you can dip into boutiques and antiques stores in buildings that are pretty much antiques themselves.
But that doesn’t mean this place is stuck in the past. Its top-rated schools attract young families, and its affordable housing and access to two major metropolises appeal to professionals as well.
“The cost of living is high in Maryland; Ellicott City just happens to be located between Baltimore and Washington [DC], and it offers affordable housing,” says Jon Sandler, a real estate attorney who has been practicing in Ellicott City for 21 years. “Half the people are [Washington] Redskins fans, and the other are [Baltimore] Ravens fans.”
It’s the kind of place, he says, where locals stick around, or eventually come back to their roots. Many of the older buildings downtown have rental apartments upstairs, and there are also historic single-family homes, typically built with granite blocks, just outside downtown. There are also quite a few newer developments aimed at young professionals, Sandler notes.
But if you buy here, you’d best get flood insurance—the city has been subject to disastrous inundations in the past, and is weighing whether to invest tens of millions of dollars to redirect water from downtown.
5. Cary, NC
Median home price: $389,000 Median household income: $94,617 Population: 165,904
Four-bedroom home in Cary, NC
realtor.com
Cary sits within North Carolina’s Research Triangle—an area of scientific innovation marked off by the cities of Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Durham, which is home to more than 200 companies.
The area is rife with highly educated professionals who want the best schools for their kids—and Cary can offer that, says Merry Ann Cutler, a real estate agent and relocation expert with Re/Max United in Cary.
“Some of the people moving here are coming all the way from the West Coast,” she says.
Plus, it’s relatively affordable—you can buy a nice, single-family home here for $400,000.
“There’s a huge influx of people moving in right now, and construction can’t keep up with it,” Cutler says. “Homes sell very, very fast.”
Despite the development, there’s still plenty of green, crisscrossed by the largest number of walking and biking trails in the Triangle.
6. Franklin, TN
Median home price: $549,900 Median household income: $88,961 Population: 78,321
Downtown Franklin, TN
Dan Reynolds/Getty Images
Franklin may bask in the reflected glow of nearby Nashville, but it has a gravitational pull of its own. Big-name companies such as Nissan, Schneider Electric, UBS Financial Services, and United Healthcare have offices here. The surrounding Williamson County is one of the country’s richest, with the lowest property taxes in the region and top-rated schools—a knockout combo.
“Franklin is a desirable place to call home,” says David Wright, a real estate agent with Benchmark Realty in Franklin. “It’s a variety of people moving in: families, empty nesters, and newly graduated professionals.”
Developers are still building out the city, Wright observes, with new communities and commercial areas. Westhaven, one of the most successful new communities that’s still under construction, has a target of 2,750 homes, townhomes, and condominiums. It features trails, resort-style pools, drop-in day care, and even a 37-seat theater. The townhomes and houses range from roughly $500,000 to $1,500,000 for 2,100 square feet to over 5,000 square feet.
7. Dublin, CA
Median home price: $898,000 Median household income: $128,403 Population: 60,939
Dublin, CA homes
yhelfman/iStock
If you thought there were no good places to live left in the San Francisco Bay Area—Crazy expensive! Unfriendly! Dirty!—well, Dublin is here to tell you that you are wrong. This East Bay burg has a small-town feel that you wouldn’t necessarily expect to find within just a few miles of Silicon Valley.
“Even though it has been rapidly growing, it still feels close-knit and family-oriented,” says Rebecca Briggs, an elementary schoolteacher (in neighboring Pleasanton) who’s lived there since 2002.
Like the other cities on this list, Dublin’s public schools are a prime attraction.
“Dublin stands behind its schools, and in turn that increases the level of educational excellence,” says Briggs, who sent her two children through the system. She notes that the community consistently votes to pass parcel taxes or bonds when they’re needed to meet the schools’ funding needs.
8. Highlands Ranch, CO
Median home price: $475,000 Median household income: $111,332 Population: 106,596*
Home for sale in Highlands Ranch
realtor.com
While many towns have sections dominated by new construction and tract homes, in Highlands Ranch, that’s all there is. The entire suburb outside Denver was planned out back in the late 1970s by the California-based Mission Viejo Co. Highlands Ranch has since ballooned, with different parts being built out by various developers. But unlike some other communities that have experienced growing pains, this town already has infrastructure in place, like wider roads, to accommodate growth.
Terance Freeman and his wife moved to the area in 2013, mainly for a shorter commute to his job in Aurora.
“The first thing that I really noticed was how family-oriented the community was,” he says. He noticed there were always kids playing in the street.
And despite the community’s upscale reputation, he soon realized that it’s actually cost-effective.
“Per square foot for the area, we actually got a better bang for the buck than we did in Aurora or would in Denver,” he says.
The flip side is that without kids, Highlands Ranch loses a bit of its luster. Kevin Mullen lived in the community for 14 years. But with his sons nearing the end of high school, he’s decided to pull up stakes.
“I don’t think it lends itself to a place that you’d want to live once your kids are up and gone,” he says.
9. Sammamish, WA
Median home price: $1,137,000 Median household income: $153,253 Population: 64,548
Lake Sammamish
4nadia/iStock
Head due east from Seattle as the crow flies, and you’ll eventually find yourself in Sammamish, which has turned into a bedroom community for Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond, home of Microsoft.
Ann Gallinger moved to Sammamish about four years ago from Gig Harbor, where she and her husband felt they didn’t click with the community. Sammamish was a different story.
“It’s been exactly what we’ve hoped for as far as a sense of community, people being involved, people being open, and having a sense of the importance of things that we feel are important”—including funding parks and schools, she says.
The Microsoft force is strong here—Redmond is just 6.5 miles away. And with workers continuing to pour into the area, builders have been cramming large, two-story homes onto modest lots.
Amy Nielsen Hanson has seen the city develop over the 21 years she’s lived there. When she bought her first condo, she was just 21—prices were still affordable then. These days, despite the building boom, there are fewer options for first-time buyers. In addition, infrastructure such as roads haven’t been improved at the same pace as the housing expansion.
“For people who actually do have to commute, it’s gotten atrocious,” she says.
10. Woodbury, MN
Median home price: $369,642 Median household income: $101,922 Population: 69,756
Woodbury, MN
realtor.com
In Minnesota, there are the famed twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. And then there’s Woodbury, a suburb of St. Paul and the largest city in Washington County.
“Woodbury is the economic energizer of Washington County, which is basically all the eastern suburbs of Minneapolis,” says Matthew Johnson, a real estate agent with Anew Real Estate Group in Woodbury. “We have the largest population in the county and the most jobs. We’re known for great restaurants, great shopping, and great people.”
Health care provides both abundant job opportunities—280 of the 900 local businesses are in the health care industry, Johnson says—and good quality of life for residents who know they will be well taken care of.
A large part of the local housing stock is two-story houses with two to three bedrooms, Johnson says, and that’s what most families are looking for. Those homes run about $390,000.
Editor’s note: Median household income and population numbers are from 2016 U.S. Census data, with the exception of * entries, which use 2017 data. Home price data are from realtor.com.

Teach Your Child To learn In 100 Easy Classes - Teach Your Child To learn In 100 Easy Classes Review
This additional components include a quick start teaching DVD that lasts regarding 48 minutes, an sound training CD of half an hour duration and a four hr video training set in DIGITAL VIDEO DISC format for direct coaching. There are also word and audio cards included. These are most certainly not essential, and your child learn to read by just following the step-by-step lessons in Teach Your kid To Read In 100 Simple Lessons. For Children Associated with 3 Years And Above
It really is aimed at children of three years and upwards. At age three or more, the child needs to be quite vivid to learn to read using the guide. The book has had several reviews and the majority of they are favorable. Parents Receive Complete Instructions

The particular scripts are designed to help you inspire your child and explain the proper way to teach them and right them.
The scripts are super easy to follow, and it is OK to alter them a little to suit your circumstance. The book is very properly structured, and each new training builds on the previous classes.

Lessons at the beginning of the guide are very easy. This will create confidence in your child, plus encourage them to believe that reading is simple and nothing to be terrified of. When your child starts to sound out the words available, he or she will be very happy they can read. Learning Phonemes Plus Whole Words
With Educate Your Child To Read In a hundred Easy Lessons, your child is going to be taught how to sound out there words by blending the person phonemes (sounds) together with out leaving a pause in between each sound.

By appearing out the word without a temporarily stop, your child will hear the entire word and this can help all of them decipher words more quickly.
To aid further with your child’s reading through, the book uses emblems and modified orthography (the convention for writing language). An example of this is the long An audio that is found in words such as “make” and “cake”, The line appears over the top from the A to signify that it must be a long A sound. For the brief sound of A a range is not used. If a notice is silent then it shows up in smaller print. As soon as your child is used to this program they will find it easy to stick to.
When each lesson is usually complete, the book suggests that you ask your child to publish 2-3 sounds that they discovered. This will help to reinforce what your kid has learned and the creating practice will help too.

As the classes get more difficult you may find that will breaking them up directly into shorter lessons makes a lot more sense. You do not want your kid to lose focus in these more difficult lessons, so if you notice this particular then spread the learning break.
You do not have to complete the guide in 100 days, however it is important to be consistent plus practice every day. If your kid is a little older, then forty five minute lessons are OKAY. For really young children twenty minutes is likely to be the absolute restrict.

Initial Thoughts On “Dream Hoarders”
The Economist reviewed a book that caught my attention: “Dream Hoarders” by Richard Reeves. Mr. Reeves’ book, like so many books on policy, does two things. First, a descriptive exercise. Then a prescription to resolve the problem described. Usually, wish Economists would stop with their descriptions. Marx’s description of the economic structure of the world after the Industrial Revolution is compelling and difficult to refute. His prescription, Communism, turned out to be pretty daft. Piketty backed up his analysis of economic trends from the time of Marx to the present with extensive data. He then proposed a top down solution requiring the political acquiescence of those who would suffer the net loss. I thought Reeves would make the same mistake, but he surprised me. Reeves concludes that the top 20% of the economic ladder squeeze those below out of opportunities for economic advancement. It is the upper middle class, not the 1%alone, that limit opportunity. Reeves, correctly in my view, states that this amounts to creating permanently class in the U.S. What strikes me as particularly telling is the cause of this class creation: helicopter parenting. Reeves does not use that phrase, but it the actions of upper middle class parents, well meaning but extreme extreme, that end up hurting the opportunities of others. This means that parents who think of themselves as progressive end up supporting regressive policies. This includes obvious actions, such as parents using connections to get children into prestigious schools. It also includes less obvious actions, such as opposing low income housing schemes in affluent neighborhoods (NIMBYism) that have the practical effect of denying low income families access to better schools. Particularly insidious (in the sense of being especially awful, but hard to see): unpaid internships. After all, only a children with a family that can support them can take advantage of the experience and connections from an unpaid job. Especially teen age or adult children. I call this helicopter parenting because it all amounts to parents protecting their children from failure. The justification these parents give for their privileged, unequal economic position (despite many of them claiming to be progressives): meritocracy. They deserve their advantages because they worked for them. Well and good, but meritocracy explains why the parent deserves the privilege, not the child. Reeves solution is elegant in its simplicity: parents should recognize when they use their privilege. And stop, The elegance from this is that Reeves doesn’t ask parents to stop being good parents. Read to them. Help them with homework. But do not take actions that blunt the actions of other parents that do the same by virtue of your position. Some actions are obvious: don’t use connections to change merit based outcomes (such as admissions into prestigious schools). Some are not. Supporting only the neighborhood school through PTA or tax funding, or opposing low income housing, directly through NIMBY or indirectly through planning regulations, means that lower income kids won’t have access to the education parents think appropriate for their own children. Some are almost impossible to notice. I always thought unpaid internships were bogus. Why should I not get paid for work I do. But I never considered that not being paid for work as a barrier to economic advancement. Reeves notes that many of these parents would describe themselves as progressive in their politics. Even those who wouldn’t would object to being described as a self perpetuating economic class. If their social position is not justified by simple entitlement (as well t to s in Britain), what does justify the upper middle class position? Reeves answer: meritocracy. Members of the new class argues their better economic position results from their hard work. They earned it. This is where Reeves makes an impressive move. If that’s the case, says Reeves, then it’s not fair for members to use mere social position to thwart the had work of others. In a situation of long limited resources, where there only so many admissions and only so much to spend on public schools, meritocracy requires that parents not pass their advantage onto their children. To reap the rewards, the children must have their own success and risk their own failure. Upper class parents can still be good parents, Reeves stresses. They can read to their children, help them with homework, and other tasks. The limit is when these pare ts take actions beyond parents from any income bracket. So, they cannot limit their private donations to the local public school, but provide for all schools. This can be through tax distribution schemes or private funding groups that cover a wider range of schools. The upper middle class must be more open to having lower income housing in their neighborhoods; be YIMBYs instead of NIMBYs in Reeves words. What I find attractive in Reeves approach is that he does not propose a scheme that’s impressed on from above. He proposes solutions that require the the group who may be “harmed” by the action to take the lead. He justifies the action not by a social philosophy against their interests (labor vs. capital), but that supports their wealth (meritocracy).

Dear Friend,
It’s a hard fact – math is an important life skill, but many people struggle with it.

On the other hand, if you just rote learn what your teacher, lecturer or textbook tells you, you’ll struggle to get a good grade. Memorizing topics may work in geography or history, but it sure doesn’t work in math.
Imagine the satisfaction you’d get from seeing your math abilities improving and your grades getting better and better.

Top 10 Day Care Schools in Indirapuram
Working moms need to stay a large amount of time outside for work. As a result, they need to take the support of a day care school for their little one. For parents to find the best day care center for their lovely kids is such a stressful decision. As a parent, you won’t be like only for just a babysitting option for your child.
Parents typically look for a Day Care to get the best service of nurturing and caring for their kids’ development. That’s because the coming years are so vital for the brain development of their child. You need such a place that will assist your kid with improving social skills, set relationships with educators and other children, work out how to manage feelings as well as be trained a lot. This is some common reasons to find the best quality day care center. One of my friend who lives in Indirapuram is in the same dilemma and searching a good day care for her kid. She researched on almost all the famous day care school at Indirapuram to ensure her baby’s wellness. Here she is sharing her review with the readers. Hope the review will help you too. In Indirapuram there are lots of licensed and top quality day care schools. They are offering exactly the same what parents actually looks for. I’ve reviewed and checked the 10 best day care centers, the names are as follows - Footprints Play School Sai Sharan - Baby Day Care Rainbow - the play Group Serra international pre-school Cutiepies Day Care Pearl Kids day care Hand in hand Little Wonder Day Care Tender hearts Medha After checking all of these I selected Footprints Play School and Day Care. When I checked parent reviews, kids videos on their website I get very impressed. Silicon India Magazine rated them as Best preschool in Gurgaon and many facilities available for kids as well as parents. Some of them I listed below, have a look - Following are the reasons I selected Footprints for my Kid: Continuous Live CCTV coverage Entire School is covered by high-quality CCTV cameras and the Access to Live CCTV feed is provided to parents through a Footprints mobile app. It will provide a live picture of kid, means you can see your kid while working in office. It will make me tension free about my child and I can concentrate on my work. No other day care center provide such good facility about security and trustworthiness. Get update about every activity of child Footprints provide a update of kids’ every activity. You will be known how much your kid ate, what he/she ate, slept or not, and such every daily activity. No other day care gives this type of facility in Indirapuram. Ratio of teacher and child The ratio of teacher and child is 1:5 for Toddlers, play group 1:6, Pre Nursery 1:8, Nursery 1:10, KG 1:10 this is an Internationally recommended ratio. HighScope curriculum for child brain development Unlike most of the players in India who have developed an in-house curriculum. Footprint is using Highscope. Highscope is a nonprofit company based out of US which has been developing curriculum for more than 50 Years and has been doing extensive research. They have data of over 50 years now, which tells kids who through this curriculum tend to do better in life. Their curriculum is being used in more than 20 Countries worldwide and 50,000+ schools. The curriculum has activities even for 3-month-old kids as well and suited for Daycare environment as well. Day out learning system Normally what happens is that child attends Pre-School till 12 PM and after that he is shifted to “daycare room” where it is all about sleeping and eating. After it they have various activities for the entire day. The Daycare is more like Full Day Pre-School where bodily needs are also taken care of but it is learning based all the time. Hope this review will help you while choosing a good day care for your kid. Click to Post
