Lyrics:
What made an apple fall on Newton's head?
"The force of gravity" Sir Issac said.
So they named the Newton after him.
An unit of force used in measuring.

Forces, of course. Forces, of course.
Push and pull us all around.
Forces, of course. Forces, of course.
Speed us up and slow us down.

Weight is the pull of gravity.
The opposite in water is called 'Buoyancy'.
Friction is a force that stops us slipping.
Try it and you'll see it's positively gripping.

Forces, of course. Forces, of course.
Push and pull us all around.
Forces, of course. Forces, of course.
Speed us up and slow us down.

With a metal string, or stretchy piece of rubber,
You can make them balance, then cancel out eachother.

Horseshoe magnets can attract,
Paper clips and iron tacks.
Air resistance slows us down,
When we parachute to the ground.

Forces, of course. Forces, of course.
Push and pull us all around.
Forces, of course. Forces, of course.
Speed us up or slow us down.

With a metal spring, or stretchy piece of rubber,
You can make them balance, then cancel out eachother.

Forces, of course. Forces, of course.
Push and pull us all around.
Forces, of course. Forces, of course.
Speed us up or slow us down.

Degrees of success: young high flyers

This year's Cambridge university prospectus says: "There is no age requirement for admission ... although the vast majority of undergraduates are 18 years or older when they come into residence. All applicants will need to demonstrate that they have the maturity and personal skills to cope with university level study."

The number of under-18s who accept an offer of a place at the university is between 2- 2.5% of acceptances, a spokesman said. Of those, 71% are 17-year-olds who would turn 18 by January 1 of their first year.

Oxford University said it has 14 students under 18: one is aged 16 and the others are 17.

Degrees of success: young high flyers

Ruth Lawrence graduated from Oxford University aged 13 in 1985, with first-class honours in maths. She was home schooled, and her father rarely left her side at Oxford. She became a professor at 19, but fell out with her dad. Now teaches in Israel and has vowed never to hothouse her own children.

Wang Yinan was 12 when he arrived in the UK from China and within two years was fluent in English. He won a place at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, to study material science two years later in 2005. He had already scored 98% in an Open University maths degree which he took "for fun".

Adam Spencer found Cambridge University was reluctant to offer him a place when he was aged 13, in 2003, partly because of the expense in screening staff to check that they were safe to work with children. Adam was desperate to study biochemistry and had a clutch of good A-levels, but struggled to find a university place. His parents considered sending him to a college abroad.

Dante Minghella, 12, already has an IQ of 170 (the adult national average is approx 100). Dante last year switched from a state primary, having won a scholarship to a private school and was judged to be "supremely gifted". He has weekly meetings with an Oxford lecturer who shares his passion for neuroscience and alien life.

Let me in, I'm a genius

Adam Spencer may be a model A-level pupil, but no university will offer him a place, because he's only 13. Is he, or any other child prodigy, ready to make the leap into the realities of student life?

By Julia Stuart

Friday, 15 August 2003

Like thousands of youngsters around the country, Adam Spencer will have just received his A-level results. He is expected to have gained a clutch of As and Bs, which would secure any pupil a place at university. But not Adam. At the age of 13, no one wants him. Now, his parents are even considering moving to another EU country that would.

Like thousands of youngsters around the country, Adam Spencer will have just received his A-level results. He is expected to have gained a clutch of As and Bs, which would secure any pupil a place at university. But not Adam. At the age of 13, no one wants him. Now, his parents are even considering moving to another EU country that would.

There's no doubt about his academic abilities. At the age of 18 months he began to recite the alphabet. He was nine when he took his first GCSE, achieving a grade A in maths, a subject he had studied at home with his father. At 10, he became the second-youngest pupil to pass an A-level, after attending adult-education classes. Attending a community college in Bedfordshire, he gained top grades in six more GCSEs in 2001. In his AS-levels last year, he achieved two As, a B and a C.

He now wants to do a degree in biochemistry. His parents, Paul and Marlise, had planned to move from their home in Arlesey, Bedfordshire, to be near the university of Adam's choice so that he could live with them while he studied. Paul, an antiques dealer, says: "He is more advanced than many 18-year-olds, and would stagnate if we kept him at secondary school. I've rung the universities but they say he's too young. He breaks all the Government's targets for achievement, yet he is shunned."

Adam was interviewed last year by St Peter's College, Oxford, but was turned down. Paul says that the issue of having to screen staff in accordance with child-safety guidelines cropped up in conversations with the university. "We've now approached seven universities, and it has been the same story every time. They've all wanted to help, but the hindrance in each case has been these new child-safety laws. That's been the main stumbling-block. I spoke to Oxford University only a few days ago, and they mentioned that it would be a problem," says Paul. "It's not that Adam wouldn't be able to integrate with older students, he's been studying with people five years older than him for several years now. We're determined that he'll get on the course he wants at a good university. As we speak, he's on the internet looking for courses."

However, a spokeswoman for the Department for Education and Skills says that there has been no change in their guidelines, which, for years, have strongly recommended that staff in educational institutions with children under 18 should have "List 99" checks and criminal-record checks. List 99 specifies those barred or restricted from working in the education sector for either criminal offences or allegations. In March 2002, the Government introduced the Criminal Records Bureau to centralise checking. Since 1 July 2003, the cost of a standard check has gone up by £12, to £24. The cost is usually borne by the teacher, but can be met by the employer.

A spokeswoman for the department adds: "It's for the universities to decide at which age they accept students. We do give strong guidance that there should be vetting in circumstances such as a 13-year-old. However, it's up to universities to interpret the guidance and consider the costs."

With child-safety issues uppermost in people's minds these days, clearly many universities, which are legally obliged to protect the welfare and safety of students, agree that staff who teach children should be vetted. One university, which declined to take Adam, said it would be a huge undertaking to get all the staff who would come into contact with him through the checking procedure.

A spokeswoman for Universities UK, the body that represents vice-chancellors, says that admission policies vary between universities, and they took into account a wide range of factors when considering any application. "These could include outside interests, potential to benefit fully from the course and from university life, as well as to be an effective member of the university community. When the applicant is very young, the maturity needed to study the subject would be a further factor."

But many question the wisdom of child prodigies attending university altogether. Ruth Lawrence, who sat the entrance exam for Oxford University at the age of 10, took up her place to study maths at St Hugh's College at 12. Her father Harry came with her, and the pair became a familiar sight on the streets, pedalling between lectures on their tandem. Many saw their mode of transport as a metaphor for Ruth's lack of freedom to choose her own path in life.

She had been tutored at home by her father from an early age, passing maths O- level at the age of eight, and A-level maths the following year. She rarely played with other children. But if the academic pressure on her was intense, so was the media scrutiny. She was repeatedly cast as a socially inept loner, whose only friend was her father. At 13, she achieved a first-class honours degree, followed, four years later, by a PhD. Research posts at Harvard University, and in Paris and Michigan followed. So, however, did her father.

In 1997, the cracks started to show. Ruth moved to Jerusalem to teach maths at the Hebrew University, for once without her shadow. Stories soon circulated in the press of her conversion to Orthodox Judaism, her marriage to a Dr Ariyeh Naimark, a mathematician more than twice her age, and her estrangement from her father. But she is now a successful academic and mother-of-two, and appears to have repaired her relationship with her father.

For Sufiah Yusof, who started her maths degree at St Hilda's College, Oxford at the age of 13, the cracks showed up much earlier. In 2000, she ran away from the university the day after her final exam of the year. After two weeks in hiding, she was found by police in Bournemouth. She did not want to go home, asking her parents in an e-mail: "Has it ever crossed your mind that the reason I left home was because I've finally had enough of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse?" Her parents claimed that she had been abducted and brainwashed. She was placed with a foster family. Last year, she returned to study at the university.

Professor Joan Freeman, Britain's best-known expert in the field, and author of Gifted Children Grown Up, says that universities are certainly not the right place for gifted children. "I don't know what Adam Spencer's parents think they are getting by their son going to university at 13. I don't care how emotionally mature he is at 13, he is still 13. Would an 18-year-old starting at university want to hang around with a 13-year-old? The answer, to me, is no. It is inevitable that he would lose out on what should be a maturing experience. He couldn't even go to the bar, where all the social life takes place. How could he be a normal student?"

"I'm sure he could cope academically, Professor Freeman continues, "but what is the point in coping if there are so many other things in life that could add to the quality and richness of his life? He could go to a boarding school and specialise in something. He could go to an American school to get a different kind of experience. There is a whole world outside maths."

She believes that university could have a serious effect on his personal development. "The two most famous cases, Ruth Lawrence and Sufiah Yusof, say that it was very damaging. Neither wanted to talk to the father who insisted that their daughter went there very early. It damages children because they they don't develop natural social skills with their peers."

Since 1974, Professor Freeman has been doing a follow-up study of gifted children, some of whom went to university early. "They were very unhappy, they couldn't adapt. Everybody is sophisticated compared with you. Having decent relationships is an essential part of being a fulfilled person."

The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), of which Sufiah Yusof was a member, also counsels against sending child prodigies to university. "Just because a child is intellectually gifted, it doesn't mean that developmentally, socially and emotionally they are ready to move in different circles," says Lori Ferguson, an educational psychologist and consultant for the association. "What we do advocate is enrichment for children within their local education authority. We would rather see things such as distance learning, Open University courses, or individual tuition where a university professional might come into the school to work with the student."

One NAGC member, for example, became the youngest person to receive an OU maths degree. He started at 10, combining it with his school work, and received it at 17. He now works as a computer programmer.

Bob Boucher, vice-chancellor of Sheffield University, says that he believes that in general, universities are not the right places for children. But, he adds: "There do seem to be some exceptional children who have the capacity to succeed in that environment. They do, however, seem to need rather special attention because, plainly, a 13-year-old doesn't fit very easily into the environment of 18- to 21-year-olds.

"So many students take a year out, and there is evidence to show that that results in improvements in degree results. It's hard to imagine that a 13-year-old could not benefit from at least a year, maybe two, in gaining some other experience to understand the world a bit better. One does wonder whether there aren't very ambitious parents who are helping the process along."

Perhaps the universities that have rejected Adam have done him an enormous favour. Whether he's old enough to understand that is, of course, another question.

Why childhood must come before university

This former child prodigy advises 13-year-old genius Adam Spencer to put fun before study

BY MARY ANN SIEGHART

LIKE Adam Spencer, the 13-year-old prodigy who has just passed his A levels and wants to go to Cambridge, I had a somewhat unorthodox school career. Though not quite as ahead of my peers as he was, I took my first O levels at 11 and my first A level at 14. But, thank goodness, I didn’t go to university until I was old enough to appreciate it. My strong advice to Adam is: don’t even think of going to Cambridge until you are 18. Between now and then, learn another language, travel the world, play in a band or discover a new sport. Whatever you do, get a life, and make the most of it.

It is bad enough being much younger than your classmates at school. You never really fit in socially, and you run the risk of being painfully isolated. Even if the academic concepts seem easy, the sheer burden of homework, coursework and revision, not to speak of the stress of exams, weighs heavily upon young shoulders. An 11-year-old is still of an age to want to play, to feel carefree at least some of the time. Those boons of late childhood vanish when he is also expected to revise for and pass a slew of GSCEs or A levels.

Adam will already have experienced these problems. After all, he passed his first GCSE, in maths, at nine (having studied at home with his father) and his first A level at ten, after attending adult education classes. The rest he took at secondary school, and now he wants to read biochemistry at Cambridge. His parents say he is well able to cope with the academic demands of a degree. But they make no public mention of his happiness, friendships, hobbies or emotional maturity.

Instead, they are railing against new child protection legislation, which would force a university to screen any adults who would come into contact with a boy as young as Adam. The universities are understandably reluctant to go through these cumbersome and expensive procedures for the sake of just one student. Adam’s parents are threatening to move elsewhere in the EU to find a university that will accept him. They should be rejoicing that the new regulations give their son some breathing space in which to develop a more rounded personality before going to university at an age at which he will appreciate it more.

Just because a child prodigy can cope with undergraduate-level work does not mean that he should. University is not just about academic pursuits. It is about the four Fs: friendship and fun and finding yourself. It is about learning to be an independent adult away from your parents. It is absolutely no place for a 13, 14 or 15-year-old. Even if they can cope with the advanced biochemistry, they won’t be able to enjoy all the added delights of student life. In fact, they will feel positively alienated.

Gifted children who go to university very young almost always end up regretting it. Consider the examples of Ruth Lawrence and Sufiah Yusof. Lawrence, who famously went to Oxford at 12, heavily chaperoned by her father, was clearly bruised by the experience. She now intends to bring up her own son quite differently. “I want Yehuda to develop in a natural way,” she says. “There won’t be any forcing, no attempt to push him faster than he wants to go. I don’t want him to be ‘different’.”

And how different that will be from Lawrence’s own upbringing. She and her sister were not allowed friends as children, were tutored to within an inch of their sanity and were forced to concentrate on their talents to the exclusion of all else. Their father’s obsession with pushing Ruth cost him his marriage and left him little time for his other daughter. Eventually Ruth too cut him off, though they have since been reconciled. She had to move to another country and convert to another religion to find peace with herself.

The story of Yusof is just as sad. Remember how she vanished to become a waitress in Bournemouth the day after taking her Oxford finals at the age of 15? It was an escape that she had planned for years, counting off the days on a calendar. In an e-mail to her pushy father, she complained of “hellish” pressure and said: “I’ve finally had enough of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse.” Afterwards, she explained poignantly: “I compared myself with other 13-year-olds and with 18-year-olds at Oxford. They had stable homes and nice parents and control of their lives — and I didn’t.”

What a tragic tale that is — and what a waste of what could have been a magical three years at Oxford. If Adam Spencer goes to university next term, he won’t find a girlfriend, he won’t take part in a student production, he won’t find himself talking long into the night with like-minded friends, fuelled by coffee, drink or other mind-altering substances. While his peers are partying, he will be tucked up in bed after another evening spent poring over his biochemistry textbooks at the kitchen table, supervised by his parents. What sort of life is that?

After using a soroban for a while, you become a maths genius, because you end up with a mental 'image' of a soroban and you can 'move' the beads very quickly!

I found a video of young boy called Austin who has obviously come from a soroban. You can see his right hand 'moving' the soroban as he imagines the beads. Pretty quick at addition!

The benefit of learning something like the abacus is in teaching your mind to more efficiently structure numbers for calculation... see the other youtube videos for speed-math abacus competitors in Japan... they don't even use the physical abacus, it's all imaginary and mental. If I practiced using a calculator hours on end, I'd get pretty damned fast at it, myself!

Persuasive writing

Adverts are the most common form of persuasive writing you’ll find. On TV, on websites, in magazines, newspapers, leaflets and on notice boards. People use writing to persuade you to buy things.

Think about the sort of words people use in adverts. Because people are trying to make their products sound good, you’ll hear lots of positive, persuasive words such as:

• great
• free
• improved
• brilliant
• exclusive

People also use persuasive writing to convince you that their point of view on a subject is right, or that someone else’s point of view is wrong.

===

Bias

Bias means someone is only putting forward one side of an argument. An advert, for example, will only tell you the good things about a product, and may exaggerate those!

Remember, a writer may only be telling you one side of a story, so always think about what a writer may not be telling you and don’t always believe what you read!

===

Writing persuasively

Purpose

Think about what your writing is trying to do. Is it selling something or persuading someone? Choose the words you use carefully so they do the job well.

Audience

Think about who your writing is aimed at and use words they will understand.

Key points

List your key points when planning your writing.

Plain English

Always write clearly and sensibly, even if you are writing about something you feel really strongly about.

Reasoned argument

If you are responding to something someone else has said or written, always stick to the subject. Don’t attack someone personally, use reasoned argument to respond to what they have said.

Tell the truth

Even in an advert, always tell the truth! If you have to lie to get your point of view across then you may have the wrong point of view.

News Update: Steve Jobs Calls Apple iPhone 4 Antenna Problem a "Non Issue"

Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) new iPhone 4, released today, was met with long lines and some controversy. Certain users have reported complaints of reduced wireless network reception when the new phone was held a certain way. The new iPhone 4 design places the antenna in the lower left hand corner of the phone - a place where many happen to hold the phone while making calls.
Users have sent emails directly to Steve Jobs who at first curtly responded "Non issue. Just avoid holding it in that way." Jobs later followed up, likely with some feedback from the internal PR department, with a more thorough explanation:
"Gripping any phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases."
This is causing a bit of a stir to many in the iPhone and Apple community. Some new buyers, who spent the better part of several days in line waiting to shell out upwards of $600 for the phone, must now learn to hold it another way or purchase an additional accessory. Interestingly, Apple has for the first time made its own case, called the "bumper". Good timing.

How to Insert YouTube Videos in PowerPoint Presentations

http://www.labnol.org/software/insert-youtube-video-in-powerpoint-presentations/5393/

Before you embed YouTube videos in PowerPoint slides, always think of the medium(s) you’ll use to deliver that presentation.

Tutorial: How to embed YouTube Videos in PowerPoint

It’s not uncommon to see presenters in conferences struggling to get the video right thus breaking the entire rhythm of their presentation. The problem could be due to poor Internet connectivity or computer missing the right codecs or something else.

Now you can easily save yourself from getting into such embarrassing situations by planning ahead. Will you be presenting to a live audience in a Wi-fi enabled conference room with good Internet speed or are there any chances that you may have to deliver the presentation video in an offline environment (like a classroom)?

The reason I asked this is because each situation requires a different approach. Let’s see how we tackle each of them:

Embed YouTube Videos Directly into PowerPoint

This is the easiest approach and recommended if are sure that the presentation venue will have great connectivity. Download the YouTube Wizard plug-in from skp.mvps.org and upon installation, this will add a new "Insert YouTube Video" command to your PowerPoint Toolbar.

Insert YouTube videos to your PowerPoint presentations from the menu

You simply have to type the URL of the YouTube video and follow the wizard to add the YouTube video player in your current slide. You can resize as well as reposition the player anywhere on the slide.

Play YouTube Videos in PowerPoint without Internet

While the above solution works great, the only problem is that it streams live videos so an internet connection is required to playback the video during the slideshow. If you plan to deliver a presentation without internet, take the following approach.

First download the YouTube video locally in either Windows Media or AVI format since PowerPoint doesn’t understand the default FLV or MP4 formats of YouTube.

Add YouTube videos for offline PowerPoint Presentations

You can either use Zamzar.com or MediaConverter.org to save any YouTube video as an AVI file – I prefer Media Converter since it supports in-browser conversion while Zamzar requires your email addressing where they send the link to converted video.

Related Trick: Find High Resolution Video Clips on YouTube

Once the video is saved as an AVI or WMV file on your computer, go to Insert –> Movie –> "Movie from file" to put the YouTube video in the current slide.

Get Videos from Google Docs into PowerPoint

Now consider another possible case – you spent lot of effect preparing an elaborate presentation inside Google Docs with several YouTube clips but how do you import all this into PowerPoint.

While Google Docs does provide an "Export as PPT" option, the problem with this format is that it converts all embedded YouTube clips into static images which is something you don’t want.

Insert YouTube videos from Google Docs into PowerPoint

There’s however a simple workaround – just publish that Google Docs presentation as an HTML slideshow and then insert it like a web page in PowerPoint using the liveweb plug-in. Thus you can play YouTube clips inside PowerPoint though they are part of your Google Docs presentation.

Another advantage of this approach is that if you change any of the clip in your original Google Docs presentation, it will be reflected in the PowerPoint presentation as well.

interesting to start making a movies from pp....

http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/07/make-screensavers-youtube-videos-from.html

This article answers two common questions: How to create a movie from PPT files that can be uploaded to YouTube or Google Video? How to set some PowerPoint presentation as a desktop screensaver that will auto-play while the computer screen is idle.

[Both PPT Movie and PPT to Video software are not on GOTD anymore.]

To Create Picture Screensaver from PowerPoint Slides

Create an empty folder in "My Pictures" or any other folder on your hard-drive. Now open the PPT or PPS file in Microsoft PowerPoint and click File -> Save As. Select "JPEG" in the file-type drop-down and click "Export every slide."

Your Powerpoint presentation is now available as JPG images in one folder. Right click the deskop -> Properties -> Screensaver and select the "My Picture Slideshow" screensaver. Browse to the folder where you save the PPT and you're done. [Disable "Use Transition Effects" for best results]

To Upload PowerPoint Presentations to YouTube

There are two option here - either run the PowerPoint as a full-screen slideshow and capture the desktop using some screen recording software OR make a movie from PowerPoint slide images. We'll use the latter approach though you won't see the animations or transitions in the PowerPoint movie.

Start a new project in Windows Movie Maker and import (Ctrl+I) the entire folder of images in the timeline that we created in the Screensaver hack above. Switch to storyboard in WMM, drag all the image to timeline and click Tools->Options->Advanced. Now change the picture duration and transition duration (keep this to a minimum value). Finally save the movie file - your PowerPoint is now a video.

You may either use Windows Movie Maker to add music and narration to your PowerPoint movie or a commercial app like Camtasia Studio.

Extra: To play the PowerPoint slideshow as a screensaver video, download the Microsoft Video Screensaver and just point it to the PPT video we created earlier using Windows Movie Maker.
