"If we are to be successful as educators, than how we teach kids better involve a way for them to learn outside the classroom. No student should be limited by the content knowledge of their teacher."

yumuseum: COUNTING CAN BE HARD, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS CALENDAR  It can sometimes be difficult to remember to count but use this calendar to remember or no blessing can be said. Religious Jews mark each day of the omer with a blessing and this calendar from the 19th century would have aided the owner to remember which day they should be counting. If someone who is counting misses one evening, they may count the following day without a blessing and then the following evening a blessing may be said. If the person counting does not count during the following day then they may continue counting the omer but without a blessing. This particular calendar is written with ink on parchment. The upper and lower inscriptions read “Counting of the Omer” and “Initials of the Blessing of the Omer”. The center inscription is the day of the omer that should be recited. The case, which is later then the parchment, has two knobs on either side in order to advance the scroll. Omer Calendar, 19th Century. Collection of Yeshiva University Museum (F330) beautiful.

sciencecenter: New study is a further testament to the hardiness of the water bear The water bear is the cockroach of microbes; they nearly always pull through when researchers throw them into Armageddon-like conditions. Now it seems that even their unborn young have unprecedented endurance. The microscopic animals called water bears already have quite a number of accomplishments under their belts. In experiments, they’ve survived the vacuum of space, large doses of radiation, extreme heat, extreme cold, and extreme pressure, giving scientists cause to believe that the little guys could potentially live on other planets and weather long journeys across space… But to pull this off, they’d have to reproduce. Scientists have now exposed water bear eggs to three of these stressors—extreme temperature, vacuum, and a dose of radiation so strong that exposure to even a fraction of it would kill a human in days. They found that provided the eggs are given a chance to dehydrate themselves and go dormant, surprising numbers that survive: more than 70% of eggs for the temperature test, and more than 50% for the radiation test, while vacuum-exposed eggs hatched at similar rates as control eggs.
