Whisper Phones
Learn how to make these cheap and easy Whisper Phones for your Reading Block in the Classroom!
Want a fun, easy, and affordable way to engage students while they are silent reading, and at the same time help the issue of those students who always read out loud so they can hear themselves?
What these little gadgets do is create a passageway for the students' voice to travel. They can read very very quietly (whisper), but they will be able to hear themselves through the "phone."
Cute right??
Here's what you need and everything can be found at Home Depot or any home improvement store.
- A 3/4 INCH PVC Pipe (This is a really long pipe for just a couple bucks). One pipe can make approximately 25-30 phones.
- 3/4 INCH Elbow pieces for the pipe. You need two per phone and each is about 45 cents.
-A PVC Pipe Cutter
- Duck Tape to make it look pretty!
1) Use the pipe cutter to cut the pipe into approx. 3 inch long pieces.
2) Connect an elbow on each end of the cut pipe.
3) Wrap the middle with duck tape.
The end!
I do have to admit that I had to watch a YouTube Video on how to use a pipe cutter. Kind of embarrassing that I couldn't open it. But then I realized there are videos dedicated JUST on how to open the darn thing. Here is a link to one:
So yea! There are your handy dandy whisper phones. Kids will love them and if they can hear themselves read, but not bother those around them, they can improve on their accuracy and fluency as readers!
Let me know if you have any questions!

This monograph, based on an enormous experience with 16,845 consecutive cases of syphilis in the Chinese, white and Negro races, deals with the fundamental problem of immunity in syphilis.
The senior author has had a unique opportunity to observe the varying course of syphilis among these three different races in two first class syphilologic centers, that of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the School of Hygiene and Public Health, and the Peiping Union Medical College. The junior author was formerly Director of Venereal Disease Control, National Health Administration of China. The study was carried out over a period of more than twenty-five years. While the book is written in a rather philosophic tone, the statistical summations of the experience are impressive, and should satisfy the requirements of readers who wish to examine the data in detail.

Fishbones
Foreign Body
Fishbones are the most common foreign body to lodge in the swallowing passages. Before eating fish, remove as many bones as possible. Check for fishbones with your tongue, before each swallow. The same applies when eating poultry (especially soup made with cut-up chicken bones).
A fishbone or bird-bone which is stuck in the throat causes sharp pain in that location, which radiates to the ear (on the same side), with each swallow. If pain goes away within a few hours, then the bone probably only made a scratch. But if the pain persists, urgent medical attention is needed.
Here is a news report of a rare outcome (but one that probably could have been prevented, if the patient had gone to the hospital earlier).
This was not the first time that a fishbone has worked it's way through the esophagus and eventually (after months to years), into a heart or lung.
Over the millenenia, fishbones have killed countless humans. Some historical references have survived.
1. Dr. Chevalier Jackson thought this passage stemmed from ancient times:
He upon the pyre…
…laughed, loved, and lived and liked life well.
Then came–who knows?…
A snake's nip, half a span of angry steel,
A chill, a fishbone, or a falling tile,
And life was over and the man is dead.
– from "Light of Asia", Book III, by Edward Arnold, published 1879; charioteer Channa is speaking to the historical Buddha, Prince Gautama (B.C. 563-483), as they witness a ceremonial cremation
2. In the 4th century AD, St. Blaise, an Armenian doctor who became a bishop, apparently saved the life of a child who was choking on a fishbone.
Did You Know?!
In the European Union each year, an estimated 50,000 children (14 years or younger) have a choking episode.[Ref:34]

FOLK 543 640 Ethnographic Writing
J. Theophano
Seminar: Monday 6:00 - 8:40 p.m.
Cross-listed with: ANTH 543
Ethnographic research has brought anthropologists and folklorist, sociologists and oral historians face to face with some compelling challenges as they describe specific social and cultural groups to a variety of audiences: insiders and outsiders, academics and lay audiences. Attempting to be both scientific and humanistic, ethnography has been accused of being neither. How can ethnographer's best understand their impact on the groups they study, and the impact of their research on their own identity? How can ethnographers balance their personal agendas (related for example to political and ideological goals, particularly Feminism and anti-imperialism) with an academic quest to produce "scientific," well-supported research? And how have ethnographers experimented with style and genre to break the chains of traditional ethnographic writing and better represent their experience in the field.

Chapter 7: Conclusion
For any runs of 10km or more, and when the weather is hot, you need to drink while running to avoid dehydration. And for any run over half a marathon, or over 2 hours, you should also aim to take in some energy while you are running. This will make the run more pleasurable, aid your recovery and (if you are racing) improve your performance.
This chapter may have given you the impression that there is a lot to remember, and a lot of numerical calculations. Don't be put off: just experiment and find out what works best for you.

Daylight Saving Time
In 1895, because of the coming of the telegraph, Australian colonies adopted Standard Time statutes. During the First World War, to save energy, Tasmania temporarily enacted daylight saving time between 1916 and 1919, and in the Second World War, the commonwealth government established national daylight saving time from 1941 to 1945.
From 1957 John Steer, MHA for Bass, ran a protracted parliamentary campaign to reintroduce daylight saving, and finally succeeded, mainly because of the 1967 drought. This too was temporary, but after heated parliamentary debate and investigation, permanent daylight saving was introduced in 1970. Other states followed, and in 1994 at Tasmania's suggestion uniformity of termination date was endorsed. Tasmania continues to commence before other jurisdictions, which means being briefly out of kilter for many business, media and communication matters. Countervailing benefits include more daylight for sport, recreation and tourism, and improved road safety. But some, including child-raising mothers, farmers and public transport drivers, complain of early darkness and long twilights, which Tasmania's latitude generates.

Optimizing Performance: Text
WPF includes support for the presentation of text content through the use of feature-rich user interface (UI) controls. In general you can divide text rendering in three layers:
 1. Using the Glyphs and GlyphRun objects directly.
 2. Using the FormattedText object.
 3. Using high-level controls, such as the TextBlock and FlowDocument objects.
This topic provides text rendering performance recommendations.
This topic contains the following sections.
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) provides advanced text support including glyph-level markup with direct access to Glyphs for customers who want to intercept and persist text after formatting. These features provide critical support for the different text rendering requirements in each of the following scenarios.
 - Screen display of fixed-format documents.
 - Print scenarios.
 - Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) as a device printer language.
 - Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
 - Previous printer drivers, output from Win32 applications to the fixed format.
 - Print spool format.
 - Fixed-format document representation, including clients for previous versions of Windows and other computing devices.
Glyphs and GlyphRun are designed for fixed-format document presentation and print scenarios. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) provides several elements for general layout and user interface (UI) scenarios such as Label and TextBlock. For more information on layout and UI scenarios, see the Typography in WPF.
The following examples show how to define properties for a Glyphs object in Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML). The Glyphs object represents the output of a GlyphRun in XAML. The examples assume that the Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman fonts are installed in the C:\WINDOWS\Fonts folder on the local computer.

 FontUri = "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\TIMES.TTF"
 FontRenderingEmSize = "100"
 StyleSimulations = "BoldSimulation"
 UnicodeString = "Hello World!"
 Fill = "Black"
 OriginX = "100"
 OriginY = "200"
Using DrawGlyphRun
If you have custom control and you want to render glyphs, use the DrawGlyphRun method.
WPF also provides lower-level services for custom text formatting through the use of the FormattedText object. The most efficient way of rendering text in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is by generating text content at the glyph level using Glyphs and GlyphRun. However, the cost of this efficiency is the loss of easy to use rich text formatting, which are built-in features of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) controls, such as TextBlock and FlowDocument.
The FormattedText object allows you to draw multi-line text, in which each character in the text can be individually formatted. For more information, see Drawing Formatted Text.
To create formatted text, call the FormattedText constructor to create a FormattedText object. Once you have created the initial formatted text string, you can apply a range of formatting styles. If your application wants to implement its own layout, then the FormattedText object is better choice than using a control, such as TextBlock. For more information on the FormattedText object, see Drawing Formatted Text.
The FormattedText object provides low-level text formatting capability. You can apply multiple formatting styles to one or more characters. For example, you could call both the SetFontSize and SetForegroundBrush methods to change the formatting of the first five characters in the text.
The following code example creates a FormattedText object and renders it.
protected override void OnRender(DrawingContext drawingContext)
 string testString = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor";
 // Create the initial formatted text string.
 FormattedText formattedText = new FormattedText(
 new Typeface("Verdana"),
 // Set a maximum width and height. If the text overflows these values, an ellipsis "..." appears.
 formattedText.MaxTextWidth = 300;
 formattedText.MaxTextHeight = 240;
 // Use a larger font size beginning at the first (zero-based) character and continuing for 5 characters.
 // The font size is calculated in terms of points -- not as device-independent pixels.
 formattedText.SetFontSize(36 * (96.0 / 72.0), 0, 5);
 // Use a Bold font weight beginning at the 6th character and continuing for 11 characters.
 formattedText.SetFontWeight(FontWeights.Bold, 6, 11);
 // Use a linear gradient brush beginning at the 6th character and continuing for 11 characters.
 new LinearGradientBrush(
 6, 11);
 // Use an Italic font style beginning at the 28th character and continuing for 28 characters.
 formattedText.SetFontStyle(FontStyles.Italic, 28, 28);
 // Draw the formatted text string to the DrawingContext of the control.
 drawingContext.DrawText(formattedText, new Point(10, 0));
WPF includes multiple controls for drawing text to the screen. Each control is targeted to a different scenario and has its own list of features and limitations.
FlowDocument Impacts Performance More than TextBlock or Label
In general, the TextBlock element should be used when limited text support is required, such as a brief sentence in a user interface (UI). Label can be used when minimal text support is required. The FlowDocument element is a container for re-flowable documents that support rich presentation of content, and therefore, has a greater performance impact than using the TextBlock or Label controls.
For more information on FlowDocument, see Flow Document Overview.
Avoid Using TextBlock in FlowDocument
The TextBlock element is derived from UIElement. The Run element is derived from TextElement, which is less costly to use than a UIElement-derived object. When possible, use Run rather than TextBlock for displaying text content in a FlowDocument.
The following markup sample illustrates two ways of setting text content within a FlowDocument:

 Line one

 Line two
Avoid Using Run to Set Text Properties
In general, using a Run within a TextBlock is more performance intensive than not using an explicit Run object at all. If you are using a Run in order to set text properties, set those properties directly on the TextBlock instead.
The following markup sample illustrates these two ways of setting a text property, in this case, the FontWeight property:
 Hello, world
 Hello, world
The following table shows the cost of displaying 1000 TextBlock objects with and without an explicit Run.
TextBlock type
Creation time (ms)
Render time (ms)

Avoid Databinding to the Label.Content Property
Imagine a scenario where you have a Label object that is updated frequently from a String source. When data binding the Label element's Content property to the String source object, you may experience poor performance. Each time the source String is updated, the old String object is discarded and a new String is recreated—because a String object is immutable, it cannot be modified. This, in turn, causes the ContentPresenter of the Label object to discard its old content and regenerate the new content to display the new String.
The solution to this problem is simple. If the Label is not set to a custom ContentTemplate value, replace the Label with a TextBlock and data bind its Text property to the source string.
Data bound property
Update time (ms)
The Hyperlink object is an inline-level flow content element that allows you to host hyperlinks within the flow content.
Combine Hyperlinks in One TextBlock Object
You can optimize the use of multiple Hyperlink elements by grouping them together within the same TextBlock. This helps to minimize the number of objects you create in your application. For example, you may want to display multiple hyperlinks, such as the following:
MSN Home | My MSN
The following markup example shows multiple TextBlock elements used to display the hyperlinks:
 MSN Home
 My MSN
The following markup example shows a more efficient way of displaying the hyperlinks, this time, using a single TextBlock:

Showing Underlines on Hyperlinks Only on MouseEnter Events
A TextDecoration object is a visual ornamentation that you can add to text; however, it can be performance intensive to instantiate. If you make extensive use of Hyperlink elements, consider showing an underline only when triggering an event, such as the MouseEnter event. For more information, see How to: Use a Text Decoration with a Hyperlink.

Hyperlinks displaying TextDecorations
The following markup sample shows a Hyperlink defined with and without an underline:


Update 4/26/11: This post has been updated to include additional steps to ensure Kerberos authentication can be used for OAB downloads by domain-connected Outlook clients.
With Exchange 2010, a major change was instituted in the way clients connect and access mailbox related data. Unlike previous versions, clients no longer connect directly to the Information Store on the Mailbox server role to access mailbox data. Instead, clients connect to a set of services on the Client Access server (CAS) role and services within the CAS role access mailbox data using MAPI/RPC from the Mailbox server on behalf of the connecting user.
This architectural change provides many benefits, including:
 - A common code path for different client types for message body content conversion.
 - Data validation logic. For example, calendar versioning which is used by the Mailbox Assistant, the Calendar Repair Assistant.
 - Compliance features like Single Item Recovery or Legal Hold.
 - Better client experience during switchovers/failovers by obfuscating the Mailbox server hosting the active mailbox database copy.
 - A unified interface for Address Book-related data.
To facilitate high availability and fault tolerance, customers must deploy multiple Client Access servers within the Active Directory sites that host Mailbox servers. To achieve high availability and fault tolerance, you must deploy one or more unified namespaces that are mapped to a virtual IP address of a load balancer. The load balancer must be configured to accept requests over specific TCP ports and provide persistence, where required, for the client protocol being used.
Kerberos Authentication Explained
Typically, domain-joined clients/applications either leverage NTLM or Kerberos for authentication. Other clients, like web browsers, can also use Basic authentication secured with SSL encryption, regardless of the client's location (inside or outside of the corporate network). The actual authentication mechanism used depends on the configuration of both the client and the server and they negotiate the authentication to be used during the establishment of the connection. MAPI supports Kerberos authentication and the default setting in Outlook 2007 and later is to negotiate the strongest authentication available when not running in Outlook Anywhere mode.
In Exchange 2010, MAPI clients connect to load-balanced array of servers, and not an individual server with its own unique network identity. This change in the messaging architecture presents a challenge, however. In previous Exchange versions, clients connected directly to the Mailbox server which was a single identity on the network. This meant that the client, if capable, could utilize Kerberos authentication for establishing the session with the Mailbox server.
To understand the legacy behavior and how this is a challenge in Exchange 2010 let's review Kerberos authentication, as documented in How the Kerberos Version 5 Authentication Protocol Works:
 1. The client contacts the Key Distribution Center's authentication service for a short-lived ticket (a message containing the client's identity and —for Windows clients –SIDs) called a ticket-granting ticket (TGT).
 2. The authentication service (AS) constructs the TGT and creates a session key the client can use to encrypt communication with the ticket-granting service (TGS). The TGT has a limited lifetime. At the point that the client has received the TGT, the client has not been granted access to any resources, even to resources on the local computer.
 3. The client wants access to local and network resources. To gain access, the client sends a request to the TGS for a ticket for the local computer or some network server or service. This ticket is referred to as the service ticket. To get the ticket, the client presents the TGT, an authenticator, and the name of the target server (the Service Principal Name or SPN).
 Important: SPNs are unique identifiers for services running on servers. Every service that uses Kerberos authentication needs to have a SPN set for it so that clients can identify the service on the network. If a SPN is not set for a service, then clients will have no way of locating that service. Without properly set SPNs, Kerberos authentication is not possible. Additionally, in Windows Server 2003, KDCs will not issue a service ticket for an account that does not have a SPN.
 4. The TGS examines the TGT and the authenticator. If these are acceptable, the TGS creates a service ticket. The client's identity is taken from the TGT and copied to the service ticket. Then the ticket is sent to the client.
 5. After the client has the service ticket, the client sends the ticket and a new authenticator to the target server, requesting access. The server will decrypt the ticket, validate the authenticator, and for Windows services, create an access token for the user based on the SIDs in the ticket.
 6. Optionally, the client might request that the target server verify its own identity. This is called mutual authentication. If mutual authentication is requested, the target server will take the client computer's timestamp from the authenticator, encrypt it with the session key the TGS provided for client-target server messages, and send it to the client.
With Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007, each Mailbox server would have the following SPNs created and assigned to the Mailbox server's computer account in Active Directory:
 - exchangeMDB/
 - exchangeRFR/
 - exchangeAB/
These three SPNs enabled a client that was configured with either Negotiate or Kerberos authentication to successfully obtain a service ticket from the TGS. In turn, the Mailbox server could decrypt the service ticket and create an access token and provide access to the mailbox data.
Exchange 2010, however, leverages a load-balanced namespace for accessing mailbox data. The FQDN that a client uses to connect to Exchange resolves to a group of load-balanced Client Access servers. Given that an SPN can only be registered to one unique entity within the Active Directory environment, this means:
 1. During CAS install, Exchange Setup cannot create load-balanced namespace SPNs for the address book, referral and RPC Client Access SPN records.
 2. Administrators cannot manually register the same load-balanced namespace SPNs on each CAS computer account.
To understand this problem and why either of the above items would not work, let's assume the Outlook profile is configured to use the load-balanced namespace outlook.contoso.com for its home server property and it is connecting to the CAS member cas1.contoso.com:
 1. Client contacts KDC and obtains a TGT.
 4. cas1.contoso.com fails to decrypt the service ticket because:
 1. Its name does not match outlook.contoso.com.
 5. Client fails to obtain an access token using Kerberos authentication.
As a result, when a mailbox is moved to Exchange 2010, Outlook and other MAPI clients that are configured to use Negotiate will ultimately end up using NTLM authentication.
NTLM Authentication Concerns
Why is using NTLM authentication for Outlook and other MAPI clients a concern? Let's take a look at the authentication process:
 1. The user launches Outlook.
 2. The user's computer sends traffic to the server (load-balanced namespace) specified in the Outlook profile. This traffic includes the user's integrated authentication information (in other words, NTLM authentication).
 3. The load balancer directs the traffic to a specific CAS member within the load-balanced array.
 4. The CAS member needs to verify the user's credentials. It does this by sending traffic to a specific domain controller, the one which it has an associated secure channel binding, requesting a verification of the user's credentials.
 5. The domain controller responds to the CAS member with the information on the user's credentials.
 6. The CAS member generates an access token and services the request.
The problem here is that each connection from the client must follow this same process. Therefore, as the number of connections increase, there is potential for a bottleneck in terms of handling the NTLM authentication. The bottleneck is a result of the following two issues:
 1. The CAS member only uses a single domain controller for all authentication requests. In addition, there is no load distribution mechanism across the CAS members in the load balanced array to ensure that each CAS is using a different domain controller for its secure channel binding.
 2. Windows limits the number of concurrent secure channel calls. There are a specific number of threads that can handle NTLM authentication (controlled by MaxConcurrentAPI value, with default equaling 2).
 Each MaxConcurrentAPI thread can only deal with one authentication request at a time. However, attributes like network latency, the number of hops the authentication requests have to go through, and the volume of requests can introduce a bottleneck in the authentication process, resulting in some of these transactions waiting longer than a remote client can tolerate. If you have a heavy load, you are more than likely going to hit that limit when these clients authenticate via NTLM. You can monitor for NTLM failure events using the Netlogon performance counters (see KB 928576), as well as, the frequency of event ID 5783.
Windows Server does have a means to increase the number of concurrent secure channel calls up to 150 when you deploy KB 975363. However, increasing the number of concurrent secure channel calls up as far as 150 is also not recommended, as it can have adverse effects on domain controller performance.
The Recommendation
If increasing the number of concurrent secure channel calls is not the answer, then what

Python Program for Difference between sums of odd and even digits
PythonServer Side ProgrammingProgramming
In this article, we will learn about the solution and approach to solve the given problem statement.
Problem statement −Given an integer, we need to calculate if the difference between the sum of odd digits and sum of even digits is 0 or not.
The brute-force approach will be calculating the sum of all even and odd digits in the numbers and subtracting them to compute the answer.
To reduce the computational time we use the concept of mental mathematics .
The above constraints holds true only if the numbers are divisible by 11. So here in the implementation given below we check the divisibility of the number by 11.
Here the complexity reduces from O(n) to some contant amount of time involved in divibility and comparision..
Now let's see the implementation −
Example
 Live Demo
def isDiff(n):
 return (n % 11 == 0)
# main
n = 785643
if (isDiff(n)):
 print("Yes")
else:
 print("No")
Output
No
All variables and functions are declared in global scope as shown in the figure below.
Conclusion
In this article, we learned about the approach to compute the difference between sums of odd and even digits

Advik is an Indian social entrepreneur, who owns a company that builds solar-powered portable water purification equipment for the developing world.
Read Advik's Story Below
Advik's starting point for working with intention
His starting point for working with intention was his desire to make clean water accessible for all in India.
step 1: Initiate intention
Advik said he knew exactly what his core intentions were. He told me, with some pride, and a broad smile, that his intention was to make clean water accessible for everyone in India. His wholehearted belief that this was possible and that he was the man to do it seemed to be unshakable.
Advik started to manifest his intention with a firm belief that his role in life and reason for existing was to make clean water accessible for everyone in India.
This changed, as you will see when he applied step 2 of the IDEA framework.
step 2: Distil, test and refine
When Advik applied step 1 of the IDEA framework he identified an intention to make clean water accessible for everyone in India. When a business colleague asked him "why"? he began the process of refining his intention. Initially, he responded rapidly, with energy and conviction, saying that:
 - That nearly ¾ of all diseases caused in India are due to water contaminants.
 - One in eight Indians still lacks access to clean drinking water.
When his colleague asked again "so why do YOU want to make clean water accessible to all"? he paused for a moment, then replied: "To improve the quality of life of poor people".
 - Advik realised that his core intention was to improve the quality of life of all poor people living in developing countries. Not just give poor Indians clean water.
 - His nested intention was to make clean water accessible to all.
 - He later spent some time on goals, including making clean drinking water accessible for all Indians. He hoped that his goals would help him direct his business towards the achievement of his nested intention, which in turn would contribute towards his core intention.
Advik's starting point was a nested intention which he believed to be his core Intention. He later identified that his heartfelt core intention was broader still – to improve the quality of life of poor people living in all developing countries. The act of surfacing his core Intention galvanised his conscious and subconscious brain to notice opportunities arising that would, in slower time, help him to achieve both his core and nested inten
Step 3: Embody and embed
Advik's nested intent of providing clean, safe drinking water was a good starting point that should help him to move towards the achievement of his wider core intention of improving the quality of life of many people living in the developing world.
Advik had a clear vision in his head about how he could help Indians on a low income to access clean drinking water. Advik had little sense of how improving the life quality of life for a wide range of people in the developing world would look and feel. Advik had been taught mindfulness at school and found it beneficial to sit down for ten or fifteen minutes a day to practice.
In order to embed his intention, Advik needed to have a greater sense of what 'improving the quality of life' looked and felt like. He felt it would be useful to spend some time creating a vision of this. Advik sat down to practice a ten-minute body scan mindfulness exercise to help him become more connected with his thoughts, emotions and bodily responses. After ten minutes of mindfulness practice, he started a visualisation process.
 - He started by imagining a book with "Improving the quality of life in developing countries" on the cover.
 - On the next page, he saw maps, highlighting the geographical location of developing countries.
 - As he turned the pages of the book he saw distressing pictures of babies and old people suffering from malnutrition and dehydration. He saw pictures of hard work and failed food crops. He saw war zones with bomb damaged homes, their contents were strewn on the floor. Mindfulness helped him to tune into the emotions that arose for him - sadness, anger and fear. It also helped him to notice how his body tensed as he witnessed the difficult scenes and emotions that arose.
 - After some time feeling routed to the spot amongst the chaotic scenes he witnessed in the book contained in his mind, he bravely, with some effort, turned the pages of the book once more.
 - This time he saw an orderly group of people queuing for water. He witnessed them filling containers with water, and walking it back to their family who drank, cooked and washed in it.
 - Continuing to turn the pages, he saw affordable low tech equipment irrigating the dry soil, and lush crops growing.
 - He saw the crops providing food for local families and revenue from surplus vegetables and fruit being sold at the local market.
 - He saw money changing hands at the market as the produce seller bought chickens and later goats.
 - Turning the pages at a pace he saw chickens breeding more chickens, goats breeding goats.
 - He witnessed those with resources sharing produce, expertise and animals with those who had little.
 - He saw a school building with desks and a teacher teaching adults in the evenings.
 - He saw adults leaving the classroom and applying new knowledge to farming and crafts.
 - He saw a young man person learning to use the internet and finding new affluent markets for locally produced crafts and artworks. He mindfully tuned into his body to notice a sense of excitement, and a sense of warmth all over his body.
 - As Advik closed his book he had a strong sense of wanting to make this happen, coupled with a strong sense that he was the man to do it.
At this stage, he hadn't got a clue exactly how he was going to travel from a deep sincere desire to all this happening.
What the exercise had helped him to do was to tune into a sense of what it looked and felt like. This helped his conscious and subconscious brain to embed his intention and remain vigilant to any and all opportunities to help him achieve his intention, one step at a time. Immediately after the exercise, Advik decided to do two things:
 1. To undertake desk research to identify the main challenges facing the developing world today.
 2. To search for case studies of those living in remote communities had broken out of reliance on farming alone for revenue and used new technology to build a brighter sustainable future.
Advik was on his way to achieving his intention.
Advik's desk research revealed that according to Unicef data 1,300 young children die each day from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 480,000 children a year. Advik knew that in recent years the Indian government has invested in establishing better drinking water supplies and household sanitation, new latrines, so this figure puzzled him.
Further research revealed that the new latrines often remain unused and water systems frequently broke down due to lack of ownership, maintenance, and primarily, a lack of understanding about the need for hygiene and sanitation, and cultural beliefs which prevent these practices. Advik discovered that in rural areas, new facilities often fell into disrepair as there were no resources for maintenance.
At this moment many people would have started to make detailed plans and set goals. Advik avoided this temptation as he knew that narrow goals could inhibit creativity and restrict progress on his journey towards the achievement of his intention. He chose to remain focused on the 'what' (his core intention) in the certain knowledge that this would create the necessary momentum that would help the 'how' to emerge in time.
step 4: Take Action and grab opportunities
Advik's starting point of an intention to make clean drinking water for everyone in India had been distilled and refined to a wider desire to improve the quality of life of all poor people living in developing countries. During the embedding stage, Advik discovered not only the need for access to clean drinking water but the need for education to aid understanding about the need for hygiene and sanitation and engender a sense of ownership for the maintenance of newly installed sanitation.
Advik arranged a forum that bought together government representatives, charities and local community representatives to identify and agree on actions. He could see his intention starting to take form. All seemed to be running smoothly until the last day of his forum when strong cultural disagreements between community leaders and government representatives derailed progress.
The forum that had started so positively ended in disarray with sharp divides. Advik couldn't understand why his intention, that had powerfully driven him forward these last few months now appeared to be failing.
At the 'Action' stage of the IDEA framework its common for obstacles and difficulties to arise, which, whilst part of the process, can feel disconcerting. Action to create forward momentum is necessary, but often in our impatience to achieve our intent we take the wrong turn. This was the case for Advik.
His experience in hosting the forum helped him to understand the complexity of local politics and cultural beliefs that hindered progress. Advik realised that national action was problematic, and local action was needed as a starting point to gaining wider change.
Starting with three villages, he and his team worked closely with small charities and local communities to refurbish existing pumps in the village.
He trained Water User Committees to maintain new water supplies and sanitation.
He supplied water purification equipment and water tanks.

To be much more particular, the "behavioral transforming" component of NLP is improved the teachings of Milton Erickson, one otherwise one of the most famous hypnotherapists of all times. And you recognize what hypno-therapy does?
It's an accessibility, a hack, to your subconscious mind.
Let me give you this example. Visualize your mind being like a computer system. Your conscious mind is accessing programs, turning it on and off and so forth. september 3 birthday horoscope, Regular customer access. Your subconscious mind is like going into the setups, setting up applications, removing them, including new customers and so forth.
It's the "engine" or the "back room" that controls every little thing. Well, NLP is like a cyberpunk that can damage the password of your
subconscious mind and modification there. It allows you to transform beliefs and to alter who you are, as a person, to your core. It goes to those deep thoughts and ideas you don't even understand you have and makes you act differently by tweaking your standard concepts of self.
And with the usage of NLP you can remove fears, you can alter basic preferences (as not liking delicious chocolate anymore) or you can even heal wounds from the past, as those from childhood. It's efficient. It works well, and it's recommended by some of the best-known authors on the planet. Tony Robbins built his job and success on NLP and if you run a survey amongst successful individuals, you'll see that most of them are NLP practitioners or masters.
You can't mess with what works.
So why am I informing you this?
If NLP resembles a hacker that tweaks your subconscious mind so you can become the individual you intend to be, if NLP is like a layout device that enables you to revamp that you are, after that brainwave entrainment is a device that makes it quicker and easier.
And what does this mean for you?
It's basic.
Use them both. Make use of the impressive power of NLP to transform beliefs and self-identity ideas and use the power of brainwave entrainment to assist your subconscious mind be receptive and open. Open the door with brainwave syncing and change the furniture with NLP.
A straightforward method to comprehend this is songs.
If it's an unfortunate track, you end up being sad. If it's a lively track, it boosts your energy. If you listen it lots of times, you wind up assuming like in the track.
Music is a wonderful instance of a tool that accesses your subconscious mind without also understanding. You switch on YouTube and through rep and emotion, you wind up being one with the music.
Have you attempted reading a book you had no passion in analysis? Maybe for college or work?
You read the words; they are verbalized in your mind but you finish up neglecting everything. They "enter one year and departure another". This is due to the fact that your subconscious mind is as shut as it obtains and learning can not take place in your aware dimension.
This is why I use NLP in all my devices.
Brainwave entrainment is remarkable for helping your mind run at that greater frequency. They're like Vitamin C for your life, making whatever better. And if you use brainwave entrainment, this is sufficient to attract, to show up advantages in your life since you'll be running at a higher degree.

This is since while temporary victories are terrific– if you desire an effective life, you should come to be the person that is normally successful. And the only difference in between you and an effective individual is that the other one created the ideas and identification of such an individual. If you establish them as well, there's nothing quiting you from doing simply.
I develop my program "Symptom Magic" around NLP.
Each audio consists of concealed ingrained commands that reprogram your subconscious mind. Like a good hacker, brainwave syncing is opening the path

The NOTIFY and LISTEN commands work together to create a system for PostgreSQL components to communicate between themselves. Use the LISTEN command to start the backend process listening for a notification named name. Notifications are passed by the NOTIFY command, which is usually placed in rules related to changes of various database components; in this way, notifications are sent out to listeners when things are changed.
All running backend processes that are listening for a specific notification are sent that notification when a NOTIFY command is issued for it by any of the processes. When a backend process receives a notification, that notification is sent to the client application (such as psql), which then handles the notification in whatever manner it is written for. For more information about this method of IPC (inter-process communication), see NOTIFY."
You can use any valid string no longer than 31 characters for the name of the notification to listen for (this is also true for the NOTIFY command). To stop a backend process from listening for notifications, use the UNLISTEN command.
The following example configures and executes a listen/notify sequence from psql:
booktown=# LISTEN publisher_update;
booktown=# NOTIFY publisher_update;
Asynchronous NOTIFY 'publisher_update' from backend with pid '16864' received.

Future Chrome version may choose your passwords, and change them when you've been hacked
Google Chrome developers are working on a system to randomly generate user …
Mockup of a potential future version of Chrome which would auto-generate passwords
Google's Chrome development team is working on a system to automatically generate passwords, which would help users secure their online identities with passwords that would be diversified across different sites, and are randomized and thus harder to guess. Detailed in developer documentation on the Chromium Project site, the system would detect account sign-up pages and "add a small UI element to the password field" giving the user the option of letting Chrome manage the password for them.
Initial versions of the system would create passwords on an individual basis, at the user's request. But Google's development team states that "At some point in the future it might also be possible for us to automatically change all of a user's passwords when we realize that their account is hijacked." The developer documentation notes that the feature would make Google "a higher value hijacking target," than it already is, although "Google is already a high value target so this shouldn't change much."
Chrome can already store passwords, a common feature in modern browsers, and it syncs them across computers, with the passwords encrypted in transit and at rest in Google data centers. The idea of auto-generating passwords is not new, either. Password management software such as 1Password and LastPass can already generate passwords and automatically input them into Web forms. But these tools cost money and require additional software downloads. Although it's not clear when it will become available, Google's scheme would make storing and generating passwords a pre-installed feature of the browser.
The first challenge noted by the Chrome development team is detecting sign-up pages, which is accomplished by looking for elements such as "an account name field and two password fields." Next, the Chrome password generator must come up with a secure password that meets the site's requirements—many sites require digits, special characters or certain lengths. Because the password generator may choose a password that doesn't meet the site's requirements, the user is given a chance to review the suggested password before selecting it.
"If they accept the prompt then we pop up a small box which is prepopulated with what we think is an acceptable random password," the Chromium development document says. "The reason we don't just choose a password for them is that many sites have requirements (e.g. must have one digit, must be alphanumeric, must be between 6 and 20 characters) some of which may be contradictory between sites. So we will choose a default generator that will work on most sites, but users may need to change our password if it doesn't work."
The Chromium team is still looking for a "way to authenticate to the browser to enable this feature," and will have to find a workaround for sites that have autocomplete turned off.
"Any website that has autocomplete turned off will not be able to be protected," the document states. "Going by current phishing attacks, this means that 40-70% of phishing pages can't be protected against. Once this feature is rolled out we probably want to see if we can get around this problem. Maybe we can get users to re-authenticate to the browser before logging into such sites."
How much do you trust Google?
Google is often criticized for invading users' privacy, as the company makes much of its revenue by serving up personalized ads to users based on their Web browsing habits and even the contents of their e-mail. However, the development of technology to generate more secure passwords seems like a good-faith effort to protect users from online attacks, and isn't so far removed from the already-existing practice of browsers storing passwords.
Google's password-generator will likely be appealing to many because of the sheer convenience of it. But users will have to decide for themselves just how much of their online activities they want to trust with Google.
In the long run, Chrome developers say the solution should be browser sign-in coupled with the OpenID authentication standard. However, "getting most sites on the Internet to use OpenID will take a while," the Chrome team states. "In the meantime it would be nice to have a way to achieve the same affect of having the browser control authentication." Since many people re-use passwords across sites, randomization will go a long way toward better security, making it harder for attackers to steal a user's entire online identity.

State and federal officials rededicated the White River Bridge and celebrated other fixes to the Hood River Highway, which was heavily damaged by a landslide six years ago.
The project, which cost $19.7 million and was paid for by the federal government, included rebuilding the White River Bridge, which was nearly destroyed during a November 2006 storm, said state transportation department spokesman Don Hamilton.
That storm sent about 2 million cubic yards of snow, mud, trees and boulders down Mount Hood and covered more than three miles of the Hood River Highway, also called Oregon 35. The road remained closed for more than a month.
Crews focused not just on repairing but improving the road in order to better withstand future landslides, said Hamilton. For example, the White River Bridge is 12 feet higher and has more robust pillars that should allow debris from future slides to flow under the road and limit damage, he said.
Other fixes included rebuilding, repaving and raising 3.2 miles of the Hood River Highway and adding two new bridges over the Green Apple and Clark creeks. Those bridges replace culverts and will help direct debris to flow underneath the road instead of over it, Hamilton said. The project also added concrete box culverts in other areas to similarly direct debris away from the road, installed metal pipes and other infrastructure to deal with creek overflows.
The project, which involved the Oregon Department of Transportation, the U.S. Forest Service and the Western Federal Lands Highway Division, also restored stream beds and added parking.
The Hood River Highway has been damaged 20 times by flooding and slides since 1907, the agency said.

History of SWCDs
KANKAKEE SWCD HISTORY
The Kankakee County Soil and Water Conservation District was established in 1946 under the Illinois Soil and Water Conservation District Act of 1937. Acting as a "local unit of government", SWCD's provide assistance to the public in conserving and protecting soil, water, and other natural resources. There are 97 county based SWCD offices serving all 102 counties in the state. Each district is governed by a board of directors.
FUNDING AND OVERSIGHT
One of 97 Soil and Water Conservation Districts in the state of Illinois, the Kankakee SWCD is a type of local government through the State Comptroller. The District does not tax, but is supported in part by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) state funding. State funding is used for costs related to staffing and general District operations.
In recent years, the Kankakee County SWCD has taken initiative to secure grants to fund conservation-centric projects that benefit farmers, landowners, and the community.
HISTORY & ORIGINS
The following excerpt was taken from the Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts (AISWCD) website:
"In the early 1930s, along with the greatest depression this nation ever experienced, came an equally unparalleled ecological disaster known as the Dust Bowl. Following a severe and sustained drought in the Great Plains, the region's soil began to erode and blow away, creating huge black dust storms that blotted out the sun and swallowed the countryside. Thousands of "dust refugees" left the black fog to seek better lives. But the storms stretched across the nation. They reached south to Texas and east to New York. Dust even sifted into the White House and onto the desk of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
On Capitol Hill, while testifying about the erosion problem, soil scientist Hugh Hammond Bennett threw back the curtains to reveal a sky blackened by dust. Congress unanimously passed legislation declaring soil and water conservation a national policy and priority. Since about three-fourths of the continental United States is privately owned, Congress realized that only active, voluntary support from landowners would guarantee the success of conservation work on private land. In 1937, President Roosevelt wrote the governors of all the states recommending legislation that would allow local landowners to form soil conservation districts."

Abstract
Aims To describe patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with basal insulin, with or without oral antidiabetics in UK primary care, and evaluate insulin treatment patterns and factors explaining changes in therapy.
Methods Retrospective analysis of patients with Type 2 diabetes within The Health Improvement Network UK primary care database. Patients receiving basal insulin between January and June 2006 were followed until July 2009.
Results Analysis included 3185 patients, mean age 65.6 years [standard deviation (SD) 12.4], 50.9% men, median diabetes duration 9.6 years, median basal insulin use 1.3 years, 86.5% had received oral antidiabetics in the previous 12 months. Mean follow-up was 2.9 years (SD 1.0), 59.8% patients maintained basal insulin throughout follow-up with a mean HbA1C of 69 mmol/mol (SD 19; 8.4%, SD 1.7) at baseline and 65 mmol/mol (SD 17; 8.1%, SD 1.6) during follow-up. During follow-up, 6.9% of patients discontinued, 19.3% intensified with and 14.1% switched to prandial or premixed insulin. Patients who intensified (prandial) had a mean HbA1c of 77 mmol/mol (SD 18; 9.2%, SD 1.6) before change and a mean HbA1c of 71 mmol/mol (SD 21; 8.6%, SD 2.0) at the end of the study. Those switching to premixed insulin had a mean HbA1c of 80 mmol/mol (SD 18; 9.5%, SD 1.7) before change and a mean HbA1c of 69 mmol/mol (SD 17; 8.5%, SD 1.5) at the end of the study. Increasing HbA1c and longer diabetes duration explained intensification and switch.
Conclusions The majority of patients had HbA1c above the 53 mmol/mol (< 7%) target at baseline and post-intensification/switch. The HbA1c levels were reduced by intensification/switch suggesting that insulin changes did have some impact. Most patients did not change insulin treatment despite having higher than recommended HbA1c levels. Reasons for not changing treatment in face of unsatisfactory clinical outcomes are unclear. Further research is warranted to explore barriers towards therapy change.

Members can add personal information about their living family members, however:
- You must not share information regarding a living person without that person's explicit permission.
- You must not share information about a living child under 16 without parental consent.
- You must not share any information about a living child under 13 unless you are their parent and legal guardian. Even profiles of children created by parents should be considered placeholders only and not contain any sensitive information.
- You must not share any information about DNA tests for other living people.
So, I guess it comes down to what it means to "share" information about a living person. Is posting a profile of a living person "sharing" information about that person? To post the profile of a living person, nowadays, you often have to enter an estimated birth date. Is that considered sharing? I'm looking for some clarity here.
Does it mean that I can't add someone to the trusted list of a living person without the permission of the person of whom the profile is written? Does it mean I can't send the info to someone else in e-mail?

Continuing to educate about basic compositional techniques,
- What is "Lead Room?"
- Why is it important to consider Lead Room when taking pictures?
- When do I apply it to my photography?
What is Lead Room?
Lead Room (also variously referred to as leading, nose room, or leading space) is a foundational compositional technique that is frequently employed in the visual arts such as cinematography, painting, and of course photography. In essence the 'rule' of lead room is that when framing a subject, well composed shots will include 'white space' in the direction that a subject is facing, or in the case of moving objects, in front of the direction that an object is moving.
Why is lead room important?
Lead room is an important compositional technique to keep in mind even if you're deciding to break the guideline and not give a photo lead room because altering the lead room has the potential to alter the mood or 'feeling' of a photograph. For example, in this portrait lead room has been given in the direction the model's body is facing and as a result the portrait feels open and relaxed.
But if we take the same exact picture and shift the model to the other side of the frame, all of a sudden it feels as though the model is cramped within the frame.
The effects of lead room can be even more pronounced when the subject of a photograph is in motion. In the following image the airplane has a sense of moving through the frame from left to right because it appears that it has room to move...
Whereas when the same photograph is cropped so the photograph's white space is behind the airplane all of a sudden there seems to be something missing. There's a sense of motion that has been removed because there doesn't appear to be anywhere for the plane to go!
How do I apply lead room to my photography
Like most things in photography, this is not a 'hard-and-fast' rule... more accurately this is a rule of thumb. Generally speaking, lead room can be applied to living subjects (e.g. humans, animals, etc.), and objects in motion. Inanimate objects that aren't in motion can't really benefit from using lead room. But it is important to understand the effects on a images perception that lead room can have as you compose your pictures in order to take advantage of (or negate the advantage of) this rule of thumb.

I'd like to add a couple of small things to _USER_'s excellent answer...
I think what lead room is has been answered so I'll add just one thing. Like the rule of thirds, golden ratio and other composition guidelines, lead room is just another tool in the arsenal of composition. Sometimes it applies, sometimes there's no need for lead room (such as a person's face filling 90% of the frame for a portrait).
Lead room should be a naturally occurring composition element, just like the rule of thirds and such. They should come as a result of feeling the need for more space on a specific side of the frame, per sé, not as a result of thinking, "oh yeah, I 'need' lead room".
When I'm composing a photo (even if it's in a fast paced environment), I'm "feeling" my way toward the composition that feels right, then I click the shutter. I rarely ever do a mental check list of composition "rules" in my head.
I hope I'm making sense.

As winter approaches and wet weather follows, now is the time for Victorians to consider collecting one of nature's free and precious resources – rain.
Collecting water via rainwater tanks can save you money on water bills while offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly water saving solution.
With rainwater tanks available in a range of sizes, it is important to consider whether your tank's installation will require a building permit.
Water supply connections must be carried out by a licensed and registered plumber.
Victorian Building Authority (VBA) State Building Surveyor Andrew Cialini says safety and compliance with local council regulations is important when installing a rainwater tank.
"It is important to check with your council to find out if a planning permit is required to install a rainwater tank at your property," Mr. Cialini said.
"A registered and licensed plumber will be able to advise you on the best size, type and location for a rainwater tank on your property."
It is essential to secure rainwater tanks on appropriate supporting bases, while water to and from the tank and stormwater drain must be connected by a licensed or registered plumber.
Mr. Cialini said homeowners should consider the potential dangers of a rainwater tank if it toppled over.
"A 5000 litre water tank weighs more than five tonnes, so it's important that compliance safety standards are met and licensed professionals are engaged for tank installation and maintenance."
To find a licensed and registered plumber in your area or for more information about rainwater tanks, contact the Victorian Building Authority or visit your local water retailer.
What to do when installing a rainwater tank:
- A licensed and registered plumber must be engaged to connect the roof catchment to the rainwater tank and the tank overflow to the stormwater drain.
- Jobs valued at $750 or more, including the tank, fittings and labour, require the plumber to issue a compliance certificate.
- Australian standards and guidelines apply to the design, material, manufacture and installation of rainwater tanks. A licensed and registered plumber can help identify which tanks suit your needs.
- Overflows or discharge pipes from roof-mounted evaporative air conditioners should not be allowed to discharge onto your roof catchment areas for your tank, due to water quality issues.
- Keep your roof and gutters clean and flush your tank every two or three years.
A building permit is not required for a free-standing water tank where it is located externally.
If a free-standing water tank is located within the building, a building permit may be required due to the structural implications from the weight of the filled tank.

Site diaries are the backbone of construction site reporting. They are used to document daily site progress and ensure any project hiccups or claims can easily be traced back to a site diary or other document to prove exactly what happened - along with supporting evidence and signoff.
Site diaries are often the final proof in small and large court cases and claims.
Having a thorough site diary record can be the difference between paying out-of-pocket for things and events that weren't your fault - and keeping your record clean and your bank account full.
Many documents and permits in the construction industry are reactive - meaning they are used and completed in response to an event occurring. Site diaries are proactive. They are completed every day regardless of circumstance in order to stay ahead future events.
Here's a great construction site diary example
In our example below, Evan Wong is a senior engineer working in Zone 2 on a site where surface grading is taking place. Hover on the example and lick on the button to expand the full site diary.

So what needs to be in your site diary?
What's in your site diary will vary from project to project, but shouldn't vary from day-to-day. The obvious form fields that must be a part of every site diary entry are things like the time and date, shift location, weather, supporting photos and videos and a shift summary which will usually focus on:
- Shift activities
- Work executed
- Rate of production
- Other comments
- Safety, enviro and quality issues & incidents
In addition, depending on your role on site, you may be charged with completing more information surrounding labour, plant, equipment, materials and expenses. These tables summarise the resources used on a particular day so that reconciliation during and at the end of the project is easier.
The most important part of your site diary etiquette is that you do it daily - and when specific incidents occur. Your site diary is your document of first record - and it is the reference point for many other important documents, such as variations.
But completing and organising your site diaries is annoying...
We agree with you. Using paper, excel docs, word docs and legacy software to complete and manage your site diaries is a waste of your precious time - and the time and resources of projects, teams and companies.
If you are looking for a smarter and easier way to create, edit and complete your site diaries in the office or the field - then get started with one of our free templates below or take a look at the Dashpivot site diary app and software.


Designing for Diversity
The app design includes different affordances for different users who may want to do, and who may only be able to do, different things within an app. To gather a diverse audience in a common forum, there should be a blend of affordances, not in one user interface, but in multiple interfaces, which are driven by each user persona.
User Personas
The main design challenge of an app for families is making it simple enough for anyone to use but still engaging enough for more advanced users. This problem is solved by creating different app experiences for different user personas. The level of access that comes with each persona is controlled by family organizers who are able and willing to gather family members together.
Affordances
Where the design can help solve the bigger technical communication problem at hand is by accounting for these different personas in its operational affordances and instrumental affordances, that is, how the app allows people to act unconsciously and what actions it allows them to do.
Operational Affordance
Design that is responsive to the unconscious actions of different user types is possible with multiple persona-based user interfaces.
In the case of User: Natey, who cannot read, the persona-interface settings could play text-to-speech clips of group conversations and also translate speech-to-text for posting in the thread. Where a child might be prohibited from engaging with others via written word, the appropriate interface and affordances could allow this user to effortlessly interact with the group.
The three icons signify, from left to right: speak audio clip, speech-to-text, and draw.
Instrumental Affordance
Design that affords all actions to all users is not appropriate in the wider rhetorical situation. The "add to envelope" feature allows for certain users to add digital artifacts from group activity (conversations, photos, drawings, etc.) to a digital envelope that could be printed and physically mailed to family who do not engage in digital communications. For more on this feature, see Networks of Incompatibility.
Impersonation
Different user interfaces are geared toward the different fluencies users bring to the app. Even still, sometimes users encounter difficulties using technology. Instead of relying on web searches, help documentation, or tech support, certain tasks can be performed by other family users who are more fluent in the use of technology.
The two features highlighted here, "Puppet mode" and "Ventriloquist mode," suggest a feature where users can control the app activity of other users for short periods of time, in order to update settings or perform tasks that might not be obvious to the puppet user. This changes the nature of collaboratively solving what can sometimes be a stressful problem.
For more on the possible affordances of this app design, see the Conceptual Model.

Flight Unlimited is a 1995 aerobatic flight simulator video game developed and published by LookingGlass Technologies. It allows players to pilot reproductions of real-world aircraft and to perform aerobatic maneuvers. They may fly freely, race through floating rings against a timer or take lessons from a virtual flight instructor. The instructor teaches basic and advanced techniques, ranging from rudder turns to maneuvers such as the tailslide, Lomcovák and Immelmann turn.
Flight Unlimited was the first self-published game released by Looking Glass Technologies. It was intended to establish the company as a video game publisher and to compete with flight simulator franchises such as Microsoft Flight Simulator. Project leader Seamus Blackley, a particle physicist and amateur pilot, conceived the game in 1992. He felt that other flight simulators failed to convey the experience of real flight, and he reacted by coding a simulated atmosphere for Flight Unlimited based on real-time computational fluid dynamics. Aerobatic pilot Michael Goulian endorsed the game and assisted the team in making it more true to life.
Flight Unlimited received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success; its sales exceeded 780,000 copies by 2002. Reviewers lauded its realism, flight instruction, graphics and sense of flight, but some criticized its high system requirements. The game was followed by two sequels: Flight Unlimited II (1997) and Flight Unlimited III (1999). A combat-oriented successor, Flight Combat, was released in 2002 as Jane's Attack Squadron after a series of setbacks. Soon after Flight Unlimited's completion, Blackley was fired from Looking Glass. He went on to design Jurassic Park: Trespasser at DreamWorks Interactive and later spearhead the Xbox project at Microsoft.

The second week of Summer Day Camp at Mountain Top had a theme of "Outdoor Adventure Awaits", and our activities certainly lived up to the name. We started the week with a Scavenger Hunt field trip on Burro Trail, followed by a watercolor spray art craft!
On Tuesday we were fortunate enough to visit our plot at the Breckenridge Community Garden. Campers were able to plant seeds of their choice, which we will nurture throughout the summer, and eventually eat when they are ready to harvest! Wednesday's activities were all about leaves. Campers learned about the anatomy of the leaf and then used them to create beautiful rainbow paintings.
On Thursday we learned about rocks and flowers! The kids stacked rocks to create art, and then painted them. In the afternoon, we dissected flowers and learned how to color our own at home! Finally, on Friday, we combined all aspects of nature into one day. Campers created DIY fishing poles, made popsicle stick tents, and went on a Forest Health field trip with FDRD! We learned all about our local ecosystem and even picked up trash on Peak 9 that was leftover from ski season!
Thank you to all of our campers for a fabulous Outdoor Adventure Week!

Lending a helping hand to develop African soil information
2 December 2011
Six West African soil scientists are visiting the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources to undertake intensive training in digital soil mapping coordinated by the University of Sydney's Associate Professor Inakwu Odeh. The visiting fellows are sponsored by AusAID as part of the Australian Leadership Awards Fellowships program.
Associate Professor Inakwu Odeh and colleagues from the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources-Dr Thomas Bishop and Dr Budiman Minasny - have organised a six week program for the African visiting fellows to run in November and December 2011.
Coming from universities and government research and soil management agencies in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Senegal, the six visitors will further their soil science expertise using the latest soil mapping techniques.
"There is a lack of accurate soil information in many developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa," said Associate Professor Inakwu Odeh, from the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
"This is particularly disturbing because agriculture, which should be based on careful selection of suitable soil and land resources, is the dominant economic activity in the continent," explained Associate Professor Odeh.
"So we're working with local African scientists to share our digital mapping expertise and software, so they can use these techniques in their home countries."
Associate Professor Odeh will run training sessions on using geographic information system data for digital soil mapping and agricultural statistical analysis.
"We're using open source and free statistical analysis software that our visiting fellows can access and use when they return to their home countries," said Associate Professor Odeh.
Soil is fundamental to important ecosystem services such as food production, biodiversity, and climate and environmental regulation. As such, there has been increased interest in accurate soil information at high spatial resolution for the purpose of management decisions regarding these services.
"According to statistics published in 2010 by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, agricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa has grown over the past 50 years, but more slowly than the population. That means that there has been a decline in per capita energy accessibility - so not enough food being produced per person in these countries," explained Associate Professor Odeh.
"Additionally, it turns out this very modest growth in production has been primarily through area expansion, with yields per hectare especially stagnant over the same period," said Associate Professor Odeh.
"The problem is there's been ill-informed selection of production areas, rather than strategically developing areas with more productive soils. Soil mapping is key to this strategic selection of agricultural areas."
To meet the increased soil information demand in sub-Saharan Africa, a regional project called Africa Soil Information Service was launched in 2009 under the guidance of the GlobalSoilMap.Net consortium in which the University of Sydney is a major player under the leadership of Professor Alex McBratney.
The six visiting fellows are all key participants in the Africa Soil Information Service project, with their time spent at the University of Sydney aimed at capacity building in the new techniques of digital soil mapping and assessment - techniques developed at the University of Sydney and now used internationally.
This multilateral program will enable the participants to work on this regional goal and achieve high standards in the production of the functional soil information and the subsequent management recommendations across the region.
"As part of our University's contribution to the effort of creating digital soil information for Africa, I recently spent six months in Africa and the Netherlands, lending a helping hand to the efforts of creating digital soil maps for Nigeria," said Associate Professor Odeh.
"This current training in November and December of the West African soil scientists will further enhance the collaboration between our University and a number of key institutions in the region."
