Akamina-Kishinena Provincial Park
History and conservation
Akamina Kishinena Provincial Park is located in the southeast corner of the province. This wilderness area along with Waterton Lakes National Park and US Glacier National Park, preserves the Crown of the Continent UNESCO World Heritage Site at the narrowest point of the Rocky Mountains.
Preserves and protects the habitat of the last self-sustaining grizzly bear population in the United States, as well as a winter range for goats and big horn sheep. Protected plant species include the rare Mimulus luteus (yellow monkey flower) and the rare Papaver pygmaeum (pigmy poppy) that are found nowhere else in BC.
The trails and passes of the Akamina-Kishinena were used for many years by the early people's and wildlife travelling between the Flathead Basin and the abundant Great Plains. For instance, the Kootenai aboriginal people travelled through South Kootenay Pass to reach the plains for trading and buffalo hunting.
The spectacular southeast corner of the province was recommended for preservation as early as 1917. In 1995 Akamina-Kishinena became a class A provincial park. The closest communities are Waterton Lakes National Park community and Sparwood. The area is 109.21 km².

TMT Libraries
Sharjah, UAE
ANARCHITECT was commissioned to design a public library as part of an initiative between the Government of Sharjah and Knowledge without Borders in support of '2016 - Year of Reading', aimed to make reading and books more approachable within a cultural and new contextual condition within the Emirate.
The practice created two mirroring library TMT structures (Thermally modified timber), one containing Philosophical and the other Psychological literature that would engage in a physical dialogue with one another in multiple configurations around an unexpected piece of nature (tree, or shrub) occurring in the urban realm.
We developed subtle differences between each library in a way that one of the structures would be oriented towards the courtyard, darker, and suitable for introspection of one's own mind and emotions, and the other would be more open and transparent, letting its readers observe the surroundings and responding and embracing the natural sunlight.
Client: Sharjah Investment & Development Authority (Shurooq)

Machine learning methods are known to be inefficient when faced with many features that are unnecessary for rule discovery. In coping with this issue, many methods have been proposed for selecting important features. Among them is feature selection that selects a subset of discriminative features or attribute for model building due to its ability to avoid overfitting issue, improve model performance, provide faster and producing reliable model. This paper proposes a new method based on rough set algorithms, which is a rule-based data mining method to select the important features in bioinformatics datasets. Amino acid compositions are used as conditional features for the classification task. However, our results indicate that all amino acid composition features are equally important thus selecting the features are unnecessary. We do confirm the need of having a balance classes in classifying the protein function by demonstrating an increase of more than 15% in accuracy.

Establishing Connectivity, Sustainability, and Energy with Landscape Architecture: The Revitalization of Waller Creek in Austin, TX
Waller Creek is an urban riparian ecosystem that meanders for seven miles from the northern part of Austin, TX, southward through The University of Texas campus and along the eastern edge of the downtown area before it meets Lady Bird Lake (part of the Colorado River). This natural resource is severely undervalued and has suffered years of neglect. However, in the new Imagine Austin city plan it has been recognized as an opportunity to prioritize environmental sustainability and to create a link throughout the larger urban fabric.
The City's Goals are as follows:
- Create a healthy ecosystem;
- Inspire cohesion amongst diverse interests;
- Bridge the two parts of the city divided by Interstate Highway 35;
- Create a tourist destination for locals and visitors.
The revitalization efforts are focused on the section of the creek between 15th Street and Lady Bird Lake. Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates and Thomas Phifer & Partners (New York City), the firms selected for the project, envision a landscape design concept that features a chain of parks aimed at healing and reconnecting the east and west of Austin.
The design team identified four solutions to the perplexing challenges of the project:
- Open up the creek to the city;
- Connect spaces with bridges;
- Energize the area with distinct and site-specific activities;
- Honor Austin's past.
In any design it is vital to consider the impacts, both positive and negative, on the existing landscape, infrastructure, programs, etc. The questions prompted by this consideration are: what concerns do the citizens have about the Waller Creek Project? Have alternatives been identified, and what might these alternatives be?

Six Reasons to Consider Purchasing a Softub
Hot tubs are an excellent way to relax, entertain, and improve health and well-being. Has the thought of purchasing one for yourself… lingered for weeks, months, or years, possibly? Why wait any longer? Here are six reasons to consider purchasing a Softub.
1. They are efficient.
Many people don't own hot tubs because they use a great amount of electricity to function. Softubs run off one 110v outlet. Those that have purchased a Softub, notice an increase of five to ten dollars monthly on their electric bill, unlike the owners of a hard tub, who notice a higher costs equal to $30 to $100 dollars or more monthly in cold temperatures. Softubs are unique because they don't use heaters to heat water. These tubs have a heat recovery system, using heat from the motor pump to heat the water.
All hot tubs require chemical balancing that can also be costly, but Softub uses milder water treatments and they are cost effective compared to hard tub supplies. Softub includes a water treatment kit, and gives an option to use an ozone injection system to help reduce the amount of chemicals needed to maintain the tub if so desired.
2. No electrical or plumbing required for assembly.
Softubs don't require electricians or plumbers to assist with installation, like other hot tubs. These tubs aren't equipped with excess wiring or pipes for operation. They have the HydroMate system, which include the controls, the thermostat, the heater, and pump in one unit. The tub runs off one outlet, making cords and wires hassle free.
Softub also has the SmartChip feature included in all models. This feature recognizes low power situations. In the event of a low voltage issue, power outage, or blackout, the Softub shuts down. When power is restored, the Softub will turn everything back to default settings automatically. This feature also prevents the Softub from overheating.
3. The warranty and package deal
Softub packages include the tub, the HydroMate, the thermal insulated lid, water treatment kit, and a five year warranty. Everything you need to operate the tub. The warranty ensures the Softub spa to be free of defects in materials for up to five years after date of purchase and maintains one of the best warranties in the market.
Other tubs require you to purchase accessories, including the tub lids, chemicals, and other needs separate from the hot tub itself. The warranty on the hard tubs vary, but typically is not as inclusive as the Softub warranty program.
4. Portability and Durability
Softubs range from 50 to 75 pounds, depending on size. This allows moving and maneuvering to be accomplished with ease and typically by one person. They fit through any standard doorway, and can easily be placed on any flat surface, both indoors and out. The tubs are made with a unique marine-grade exterior vinyl that hold up tremendously through any extreme weather scenario. The (3) Tub Models occupy from two to six people at a time, with room to spare. As many have seen before, they are so durable, that an elephant stands on our tubs in our marketing videos (also, on the photo above)!
5. Hydrotherapy Benefits
Everyone can use a hot tub to relieve stress, muscle aches, and injuries. Did you know they also help with long-term ailments? People with diabetes, fibromyalgia, back, hip and knee problems as well as arthritis all benefit from soaking in a hot tub. The Softub design is perfect for those needing hydrotherapy with easy entry, soft construction and low risk of injury if falling. The 1.5 horsepower pump provides powerful jet action, while the soft, hot tub's spacious interior allows freedom of movement for specific positioning needs or exercising while soaking.
6. Desire
Softubs can be used for multiple situations. Many people love to entertain with family gatherings or events at home. Others prefer to use it to relax or use it for medical reasons all by themselves. A few enjoy meditating in them for a few minutes each day, but for stress relief, pain relief or just pure enjoyment…Whatever the reason may be, Softub has many benefits for everyone, and for every lifestyle.

23. The craft of agriculture.106
The fruit of this craft is the obtainment of foodstuffs and grains. People must undertake to stir the earth, sow, cultivate the plants, see to it that they are watered and that they grow until they reach their full growth, then, harvest the ears, and get the grain out of the husks. They also must understand all the related activities, and procure all the things required in this connection.
Agriculture is the oldest of all crafts, in as much as it provides the food that is the main factor in perfecting human life, since man can exist without anything else but not without food. Therefore, this craft has existed especially in the desert, since, as we have stated before, it is prior to and older than sedentary life.107 Thus, it became a Bedouin craft which is not practiced or known by sedentary people, because all their conditions are secondary to those of desert life and their crafts, thus, secondary and subsequent to (Bedouin) crafts.

WINGS creates opportunities for Guatemalan families to improve their lives by providing them with family planning education and access to reproductive health services. Since 2004, WINGS has trained over 380 youth aged 13-19 as peer educators, who in turn have shared accurate information about sexual health with nearly 56,000 young people.
In 2011, WINGS began to use street theater as part of its youth outreach. Based on this success, it sought a collaboration with ArtCorps to expand and deepen creative methods throughout its Peer Education program. New arts-based tools developed by ArtCorps are enabling young leaders to explain technical concepts, such as the functioning of reproductive organs, and facilitate discussions on sensitive and often taboo topics like gender roles and domestic violence.
ArtCorps will provide Art for Social Action tools that increase knowledge about sexual and reproductive health and foster dialogue among peers and couples.
In a country where 34% of boys and 22% of girls are sexually active by age 15 and reproductive health education is scarce, the outlook seems grim for youth seeking to improve themselves and make healthy choices. How can the youth of Guatemala take control of their health and build better futures for themselves, their families and their communities?
- 250 teens are equipped with knowledge and skills to make healthy relationship and sexual health decisions.
- 250 peer educators gain leadership skills and creative tools to more effectively educate and facilitate dialogue with their peers on reproductive health.
- Through 31 public presentations and theater performances, youth raise awareness about teen health with over 2,200 students and teachers from four schools.
ArtCorps and WINGS are opening young minds by sharing critical knowledge and training youth to take a leadership role in educating their peers about sexual health and healthy relationships.
- Developing Peer Educators: Evelina worked closely with WINGS education staff to train 250 youth from 13 youth groups (selected to be reproductive health peer educators) to express themselves, think critically and share powerful narratives that inspire others.
- Sex Ed Plays: During the year, the peer educators wrote and produced 12 plays about sexual health, gender and domestic violence under Evelina's guidance. These plays were performed in the Sacatepéquez schools, reaching over 2,200 youth and teachers.
- Teen Art Exhibits: Art created by the peer educators to encourage teens to make healthy decisions was displayed in the schools, health clinic and public park.
Evelina Jagminaite is a Lithuanian artist and Renaissance woman, who has studied economics, anthropology and environmental science as well as fine arts and dance. In her work with domestic violence survivors, university students and youth from low-income families, she has found art to be a powerful strategy for behavior change.
"Using creative activities like dance, storytelling and body-mapping helps [participants] to retain new information with greater ease and enjoy the learning process." ~ArtCorps Artist Evelina Jagminaite

Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 3, or GOES-3, is a weather satellite launched in 1978 that has long lost its imaging capability. However, the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) still uses its fully functional communication transponder for the approximately 7 hours a day when it is visible at the South Pole.
The University of Miami serves as the teleport for the GOES-3, operating and controlling the satellite for the National Science Foundation and providing the ground station at Richmond, Florida.
GOES-3 supports data rates of roughly 1 Mbps out of and roughly 1.5 Mbps into South Pole Station. Its U.S. ground station is in Miami, Florida, which is connected to an access point in the USAP Denver data center by a dedicated communications circuit, providing Internet and telephone services to South Pole network users.

A smooth surface that may be amorphous was formed on a working electrode of polycrystalline gold by sweeping the potential. In an electrolyte of 0.01 M copper sulphate and 0.01 M sulphuric acid the morphology of the gold surface and of copper deposits were followed by in situ STM. Gold surfaces which had previously been subjected to many cycles of potentiostatic bulk copper electrodeposition exhibited a characteristic granular structure. On top of the granular structure the smooth gold surface was built up by surface diffusion, except underneath the tip, which shows that in situ STM only probes the surface locally. The action of the tip creates a cavity in the surface. From simultaneous recordings of current-voltage diagrams and of in situ STM images it is suggested that both surfaces' structural transformations and gas evolution contribute to the total charge passed. The potential of the electrode process depends linearly on the tip potential and it was found that the electrode process observed by in situ STM can be related to features of the current-voltage diagrams and of cyclic voltammograms only when the tip potential is zero.

Published in: Journal of Business Venturing, 33: 333-350.
Cited as: Bacq, S., & Alt, E. 2018. Feeling capable and valued: A prosocial perspective on the link between empathy and social entrepreneurial intentions. Journal of Business Venturing, 33: 333-350.
Empathy is a key trait distinguishing social entrepreneurs from traditional entrepreneurs, and an important antecedent of social entrepreneurial (SE) intentions. Yet, little research explains the mechanisms through which empathy motivates SE intentions. We argue that studying the link between the prosocial trait of empathy and the prosocial outcome of SE intentions requires a prosocial lens that traditional entrepreneurial intent theories cannot offer. Building on prosocial motives research, we propose that empathy explains SE intentions through two complementary mechanisms: self-efficacy (an agentic mechanism), and social worth (a communal mechanism). We find support for our hypotheses in a study of 281 university students.
Visit the journal website to see access options for this document.
Recommendations from this resource
Future research should:
1) consider multiple facets of empathy other than the affective one (i.e., cognitive), and mechanisms other than agency (i.e., communion), in addressing the important question of how empathic individuals form intentions to engage in social entrepreneurship.
2) explore different settings in which individuals get to interact with and feel valued by potential beneficiaries, not only in terms of the geographical setting but also in terms of the length of interaction with potential beneficiaries, as well as contrasting individual work to teamwork. An experimental design may suit that type of research objective.
3) elaborate on the development of SE intentions in light of recent work indicating a generational decline in empathy among North American university students.
4) extend this work to the field of social entrepreneurship by examining the role of SE self-efficacy in enabling social worth.
5) explore social worth as a fertile construct for the development of future metrics of non-economic outcomes and phenomena not easily monetized.
6) investigate the effect of negative emotions that emerge from responsivity to the negative experiences of others on SE intentions.
7) also look at the role of emotions, such as situational empathy, in predicting SE intentions. Does situational empathy vary after exposure to concepts, stories, and knowledge related to social entrepreneurship, thereby raising SE intentions? Is this effect contingent on the type of course—lecture vs. experiential—or on the context—on-campus vs. field-based?


Docker debugging
The goal of this document is to give troubleshooting methods for our Docker environment. This applies to when a service managed by Docker is not running properly.
Get the list of running containers
First, one should check if the containers needed for the service are running. To know the name of containers associated with a service, go to the service list and look for the documentation or the source code of the service. For example, if Wekan is not working, the documentation points you to this repository. There you can look for the, or the ansible playbook. The playbook or the README will give the name of the docker containers associated with the service. For example, the playbook for wekan shows here and here that the containers responsible for wekan have the names wekandb and wekan, respectively. Once you know what you're looking for, you should check the list of containers.
You can then get the list of Docker containers in two ways:
From the Docker status page
Please go to You'll find a list of docker containers along with their logs.
Directly on lund
On the lund server, type the following command:
docker ps -a
docker logs
Without the -a flag the stopped containers are excluded from the list.
If the container is running, check the logs of the container for errors.
If the container is stopped, then you will have to figure out why it does not start. Below is a list of methods to troubleshoot why a container is not starting.
Simply start the container
If the container is stopped and you want to start it, use the following command:
docker start
Then you can use the docker ps command to make sure the container has been started. If the service does not work after using the docker start command, there is two possibilities:
1- docker start reports an error, then the error is related to the docker configuration / the container.
2- docker start works, then the error is in the application running in the container, and the application make the container crash (exit code!= 0).
Recreate the new the container
If 1, then docker start will give you indications about the error. The error is probably in the configuration of the container. If the container was deployed on lund, it was probably deployed using an ansible playbook. Fix the playbook (depending on the error you got from the docker start command) and redeploy the playbook. The command to do this is in the README file of the service. It must be something like ansible-playbook -i hosts drone.deploy.yml.
Run the container manually
If 2., the docker start command worked but the container crashes immediately, then you will have to run the container manually to get more information about the error. One way to do that is to find out how what were the parameters used to run the container, and use them in a docker run command so you can know what is going on. All parameters for containers are given by the docker inspect command, but the best way to get them is to use the ansible playbook, and run the corresponding docker run command.
For example, if the docker container art13 does not start, you can find all the parameters required to run it in the playbook:
- name: run the wekan container
 name: wekan
 image: wekanteam/wekan:v0.75
 state: started
 restart: yes
 restart_policy: always
 - name: wekan-net
 ipv4_address: ''
 - wekandb:wekandb
 MONGO_URL: mongodb://wekandb/wekan
 MAIL_URL: smtp://
Then use docker run --help to find the correct arguments:
docker run --name wekan wekanteam/wekan:v0.75 \
 --restart always \
 --network wekan-net \
 --ip \
 --link wekandb:wekandb \
 -e \
 -e LETSENCRYPT_HOST= \
 -e \
 -e MONGO_URL=mongodb://wekandb/wekan \
 -e ROOT_URL= \
 -e MAIL_URL smtp:// \
 -e \
This command will start the docker container manually, so you can see all errors and hopefully understand what is causing the errors.

PARI displays items from NASA's space shuttle program
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 6:37 p.m.
ROSMAN — Space shuttle parts that have been to space and back are now on display to the public at Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute in Rosman.
The Exhibit Gallery holds an orbiter wing leading edge and a tire used in the landing of Shuttle Discovery, along with an antenna assembly and other items gifted by NASA.
Established in September 1998, PARI is a not-for-profit foundation that provides hands-on educational and research opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math. The Exhibit Gallery is located on the 200-acre campus where scientific research is conducted using equipment including two 85-foot radio telescopes.
Education Director Christi Whitworth said staff and volunteers at the observation center were ecstatic when the space shuttle items arrived last month.
"It was very exciting NASA finally released these because we have been waiting for a long while," Whitworth said about the items, valued at about $1 million.
It took about three years for the items to arrive at PARI on Oct. 12 from the Kennedy Space Center. Scientists, volunteers and educators unpacked the wing segment immediately and started snapping photos of the parts that once left the earth's atmosphere to explore the vast realm of space.
"There was a lot of geeking out going on," Whitworth said Wednesday in the Exhibit Gallery, where many more artifacts from the space shuttle program, as well as meteorites dating back as far as 1492, are on display.
The wing panel on display is constructed from reinforced carbon material that provides protection for re-entry into the atmosphere, where temperatures on the surface of the shuttle exceed 3,000 degrees.
The panel is similar to the one damaged in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. Gallery visitors get a better idea of what failed during that mission after seeing the wing segment, Whitworth said.
Nearby, a Space Shuttle Discovery tire stands more than 3-and-a-half feet tall and is visibly worn down.
"You know that this is the tire when you watch the Discovery touchdown," Whitworth said about the Kennedy Space Center landing on July 17, 2006, following a 5.3 million-mile journey.
Children tend to gravitate to the tire, she said.
"The kids are just as tall as the tire and they can get an idea on how big the shuttle actually is," Whitworth said.
The Exhibit Gallery is open to the public and Whitworth said visitors enjoy seeing the space equipment and learning it was used.
"People get a sense of size and scale," Whitworth said.
She is impressed with the new additions to the Exhibit Gallery and encourages people to visit the PARI campus, which is open on weekdays and for special occasions.
"I never thought I would be standing next to a (shuttle) tire and wing segment," Whitworth said.
The PARI site was initially developed by NASA in 1962 as the East Coast facility to track satellites and monitor manned space flights. The best known PARI radio telescope is the 15-foot antenna, nicknamed "Smiley" because a smiley face was painted on the dish as a friendly wave to Soviet satellites during the Cold War era, according to the PARI website.
The Exhibit Gallery is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment. For more information, visit _URL_.

With insight and sensitivity, the writer shows and describes both the river's wealth and poverty, its greatness and beauty, as well as its historical and political significance throughout the ages. The book is lavishly illustrated.
Terje Tvedt wrote and presented the award-winning documentaries The History of Water and The Future of Water, a comprehensive story of how humans' battles with water have shaped the past and will shape our future. They contain detailed accounts from a global journey to almost 40 countries on five continents. The series have been broadcast on major TV channels all over the world. Tvedt also edited a nine volume book series based on the TV series.
"It's risky to hail a newly-published work a classic, but The Nile – the River of History definitely has the potential to be one. It's a magnificent work."

Kaspersky Lab reveals that, in the last year, only 23.3% have detected a serious security incident during the first 24 hours.
A study by Kaspersky Lab highlights the security issues that still exist at the enterprise level.
Titled New threats, new mentality: being prepared for the risk in a world of complex attacks, this study reveals that targeted attacks are growing rapidly and that they mainly affect large companies, reaching 34.3%, which is seven points more than the average.
In Spain, the majority of respondents ( 65% ) believe that threats are increasing in sophistication. And also most ( 54% ) say that it is increasingly difficult to differentiate between generic attacks and complex attacks. The same percentage (54%) believes that at any time they will suffer a security breach (54%), and that companies are still not sure of what strategy they should follow, even when the respondent is an expert in IT security.
According to Kaspersky Lab, in the last year not even 1 in 4 Spanish companies were able to discover their most serious incident on the first day. The specific percentage is 23.3%. < / p>
This is worrying since an immediate detection would reduce the final cost of recovery.

Examining Public Perceptions of Career and Technical Education in Nebraska - Survey of General Public (July 2010)
This report presents the findings of the survey: "Examining Public Perceptions of Career and Technical Education (CTE) in Nebraska." In Nebraska, CTE is also commonly referred to as "Career Education," but for the purposes of this report, the term "CTE" will be used. There are six subject areas that fall under the umbrella of CTE: 1) Agricultural Education (Environmental and Agricultural Systems); 2) Business and/or Marketing (Business Marketing and Management); 3) Computer Education/Information Technology; 4) Family and Consumer Sciences (Human Services); 5) Health Science; and 6) Industrial Technology (Industrial Manufacturing and Engineering Systems).
The purpose of the survey is to inform possible revisions to CTE standards in Nebraska. Thus, the results herein provide a snapshot of public perceptions of CTE among a randomly selected portion of the public in Nebraska. This survey was conducted during March, April and May, 2010. Both landline and cell phone users were surveyed. Of the 535 respondents, 447 (84%) were landline users, while the other 88 (16%) were cell phone users. The response rate for landline users was 33.9% and was 17.7% for cell phone users. The margin of error for this study is 4.23%. The mean age for the entire sample was 55; the mean age for landline users was 57 and the mean age for cell phone users was 44. Respondents were primarily female (59%) and white (95%). Respondents were roughly evenly split between rural (52%) and urban (48%) areas of the state; urban areas were defined as Douglas, Lancaster and Sarpy Counties, and rural areas were defined as any other county. Finally, 29% of respondents indicated that they had children in school in Nebraska. Where possible, researchers worded questions to allow for comparisons to responses to a similar survey that was administered to Nebraska educators in late 2009; these comparisons are included within this report.

Quotes from Grobel's The Art of the Interview
Interviewing is the art of capturing and shaping smoke; it's holding up a mirror and hoping you'll get a true image and not discover you're talking to a vampire who shows no reflection. [p360]
Grobel's interviews have primarily been for print: magazines. In his final chapter, he interviews himself (with some amusing repartee!). But this exchange gets at the heart of what someone who wants to interview family can get from his book, besides the fascinating celebrity anecdotes:
Q: A Lot of the anecdotes deal with celebrities, but most people who might be curious abou innerviewing won't be interviewing celebrities. Why didn't you devote a chapter to how to talk to farmesrs, pharmacists, salesmen, teachers and others who might make interesting stories for local newspapers and such?
A: Because there's no difference: you prepare for a papermaker or a geologist or restaurateur the same as you do a movie star. It really doesn't matter who you interview, the procecss is the same: you do all the research you can, you look for ares of interest, you aim for originality, you write down questions or topics, you try to keep your questions concise and to the point, and you listen. And always remember that you're in charge. If you lead, your subject will follow.
Q: What's the difference between a conversation and an interview?
A: A conversation is something people do when they open their mouths and talk to each other. An interview is a conversation that is edited, structured, put together like a jigsaw puzzle, and focused more on one person than the other. …[A straight transcription of who ordered what at the restaurant is] mostly boring, as most conversations tend to be. Interviews, hopefully, are conversations with the boring parts edited out. An interview is not a true dialog, but a prompted monologue. Someone is asking someone else questions and eliciting answers. [p345-355]
At a discussion on writing for character and dialog (i.e., screenwriting), someone made a similar observation: A movie is about life, with all the boring parts cut out. Here, "movie" refers to the finished form, the script, the story, the finished form on the screen. What is meant by "interview" is a tad more ambiguous, since it refers to the process of sitting down and having that structured conversation, as well as the finished form that appears in print.

Strengthening connections was the theme of the 14th Annual FNESC Provincial Conference. So, what does strengthening connections mean? Does it mean upgrading your wireless router for a better connection? Adding some extra duct tape to your shoe so the sole will stay on? Or does strengthening connections mean engaging students more in their learning by including more cultural content and by doing so strengthening their connection to their education? Or does it mean strengthening the connection teachers have with their student by improving the structure of their classroom and their teaching style? I think the last two make much more sense and that is what I got out of two of the workshops I attended.
The Engaging Aboriginal Students Through Imagination workshop discussed many of the ways teachers can better engage aboriginal students, though their imaginations and emotions. Dr. Lee Brown said earlier in the day that "You can feel without thinking, but you can not think with out feeling." He also shared with us that how well a student does in school is directly related to how well he or she is developing emotionally. Speaking specifically of aboriginal students, Dr. Brown said that if teachers bring in more aboriginal content and aboriginal values into the classroom, these students will be engaged emotionally and therefore become more likely to succeed. The presenters at the workshop expanded on this subject by giving suggestions for lesson plans, sharing personal experiences and by explaining how including more cultural content in the classroom can give aboriginal students a better sense of identity, and a better sense of belonging. This was also one of Dr. Brown's beliefs as he said "Emotions become values, and values become identity." Students and teachers both have to work on being emotionally connected to learning to be successful.
In the Putting the Pieces Together work shop, presenter Stacy Bernard spoke on building a curriculum of caring. Her emphasis was that teachers need to love their students, and build a relationship with them so that the teacher can become an attachment figure for the child. She added that it does not mean a teacher has to love the student in an adoring way but to care about their feelings and their education. Stacy stated that teachers need to build a "climate of support" in their classrooms, and create structure so that everyone knows what is expected, or in her words, "You know that I know that you know that I know." She said that teachers need to learn their responsibilities as educators, so that students can feel safe at school and be guided through the most important years of their life. She closed by saying that we need to have emotional and morale educators in order to create a safe atmosphere to express emotion for students. Stacy told teachers to "give the students their hearts, because they are giving you theirs."
This conference has truly shown that it takes a community to raise a child. It is not in the hands of one single person. It's through the efforts of students, teachers and cultural leaders that success rates of aboriginal students can continue to rise so that we may look forward to a brighter tomorrow.

text: Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have been introduced into wireless communications systems due to their great potential to smartly customize and reconfigure radio propagation environments in a cost-effective manner. Despite the promising advantages of IRSs, academic research on IRSs is still in its infancy. In particular, the design and analysis of IRS-assisted wireless communication systems critically depend on an accurate and tractable modeling of the IRS. In this article, we first present and compare three IRS models, namely the conventional independent diffusive scatterer-based model, physics-based model, and impedance network-based model, in terms of their accuracy, tractability, and hardware complexity. Besides, a new framework based on partitioning the IRS into tiles and employing codebooks of transmission modes is introduced to enable scalable IRS optimization. Then, we investigate the impact of the three considered IRS models on system design, where several crucial technical challenges for the efficient design of IRS-assisted wireless systems are identified and the corresponding solutions are unraveled. Furthermore, to illustrate the properties of the considered models and the efficiency of the proposed solution concepts, IRS-assisted secure wireless systems and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) systems are studied in more detail. Finally, several promising future research directions for IRS-assisted wireless systems are highlighted.

Excel BITRSHIFT Function
Excel BITRSHIFT function
The Excel BITRSHIFT function shifts a number by the specified number of bits, effectively halving or doubling the number a specified number of times.
Returns a number shifted right by some number of bits
Return value
Decimal Number
=BITRSHIFT (number, shift_amount)
 - number - The number to be bit shifted.
 - shift_amount - The amount of bits to shift to the right, if negative shifts bits to the left instead.
Usage notes
Integer underflow results in loss of the least significant bits. For example, if the number 3 is shifted right by one, then the right-most binary bit is truncated and lost. For any bit shift that results in integer overflow, where the result is larger than 2^48 -1, the function returns the _TAG_! error.
How It Works
The shift_amount can either be positive or negative. If a negative number is provided, the bits are shifted to the left instead.

Ruins of the San Nicolas Hospital
If as a traveller you are one of those who appreciate the ruins of what used to be important buildings and are now historical spaces, we recommend visiting the ruins of the San Nicolás de Bari Hospital in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
This building, located on Calle Hostos on the corner of Calle Luperón, was the first hospital and health center in the Americas.
Its construction began in 1503 by order of the governor Fray Nicolás de Ovando (_PHONE_). However, at the beginning the hospital was a small building made of wood and straw that housed a few sick people.
The construction of the hospital continued during the next years, using more durable materials such as stones and bricks. Construction was completed in 1552. By this date, the hospital was one of the large public buildings in Santo Domingo, serving an average of 50 to 60 people a day.
The San Nicolás de Bari Hospital had a mixture of Renaissance and Gothic architecture. This structure consisted of three naves. The central nave functioned as a chapel, while the two lateral naves housed the sick. Its design served as a model for other hospitals in the New World.
This hospital complex was a structure so solid that it resisted centuries of earthquakes and hurricanes. It was one of the buildings that survived the attacks of the English corsair Francis Drake in 1586.
During the 18th century, it served as a military hospital.
By the end of the 19th century, the hospital was closed due to economic problems and lack of supplies and personnel.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the building was in such a serious state that it was declared a risk to the community.
In 1976, the ruins were renovated to make them accessible to tourists who wanted to explore the arches and columns of the San Nicolás de Bari Hospital, a project spearheaded by the Commission of Historical Monuments of the Colonial City.

Erasmus Verbindt
The university-wide student initiative Erasmus Verbindt (Dutch for 'Erasmus Connects') explores, strengthens and intensifies the relationship between the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) and the city of Rotterdam. With this initiative, EUR-students want to actively contribute to the translation of academic insights into societal improvement.
How can we ensure that challenges, knowledge and information from the city and its region continue to find their way to our university? And how do we ensure that academic insights reach those very places in the city where they can generate a positive impact? That is the core of Erasmus Verbindt (EV) and the main focus of our interdisciplinary student teams. At the university, EV is linked to various research and education initiatives, study associations, and a number of related projects that are part of the university's Strategy 2020-2024 agenda. In the city we closely collaborate with our societal partners, such as the municipality of Rotterdam (Gemeente Rotterdam) and the regional broadcasting agency (Omroep Rijnmond).
Erasmus Verbindt operates on the basis of a network and connection method through which we, as a student community, aspire to build bridges between the university and the city in a smart and meaningful way. We do this in three closely intertwined tracks that allow us to explore, strengthen and intensify the relationship between the university and the city of Rotterdam.
These three tracks each center around a specific domain: Metropolitan Challenges, Social Inequality, Sustainability, and Health. Within these domains, EUR-students will search for meaningful connections between socially engaged scholars at the EUR and Rotterdam's many diverse inhabitants, initiatives and organisations that are committed to a better, fairer, greener and healthier Rotterdam.
In doing so, we aim to inspire, support and learn from each other. As such, we strive towards building future-proof networks, in which the academic community of the EUR is closely intertwined with the city of Rotterdam, so that we may grow collectively to face the many challenges that lie ahead together.
This is Erasmus Verbindt
Dieuwertje Bravenboer
"Our university is part of Rotterdam. By working together and making new connections, we can come up with innovative solutions to the big societal challenges ahead of us. As a university-wide student initiative, Erasmus Verbindt fits in well with the strategy of our university. I am pleased that our students are participating and are rolling up their sleeves with this initiative in order to explore, strengthen and intensify the relationship with our city. In this way, we work together as a community to create a positive social
impact." -
Prof. Dr. Rutger Engels (until 1 January 2021 Rector Magnificus)
 - At Erasmus Verbindt we firmly believe that advanced students - from all faculties - have acquired enough knowledge, insight and skill to broadly understand the challenges that contemporary society faces. This ability to orientate provides the foundation for the search for meaningful connections between the university and the city. The interdisciplinary approach taken by our teams, mirrors the complexities that characterize today's rapidly evolving societal challenges.
 We consider students to inhabit a unique position, granting them the potential to play an important role in strengthening connections between academia and society. Students take on an active position in the scientific and academic community, where they closely engage with scholars and academics. Simultaneously, many students also actively participate in the daily realities of Rotterdam as a city where they work, study, and live. These circumstances allow students to continuously navigate the complex territories between the university and the city. The student community of the EUR in all its diversity is exceptionally rich in terms of organisational capacity, networks and brainpower. By mapping and merging these factors intelligently, Erasmus Verbindt aims to make valuable contributions to the university and to the city of Rotterdam.
In practice
Erasmus Verbindt works in three steps, which we refer to as 'tracks', which together make up the main body of EV. The first step is to explore the existing relationships between the university and the city, in a podcast series produced in collaboration with regional broadcasting agency Omroep Rijnmond – called Stadswandelingen (Dutch for 'City strolls').
In step two, Erasmus Verbindt will actively search for new connections between academia and stakeholders in the city. Under the title of 'Erasmus in dialogue with...', four interdisciplinary teams of students will explore new meaningful ways of exchanging knowledge and perspectives in a series of gatherings, meetings and events.
In the third and final step, we will focus on establishing concrete collaborations and sustainable partnerships, converging the knowledge and insight of students and academics with the practical skills and experience of societal stakeholders. In this track, titled 'Joint Forces', societal challenges are interwoven with educational programmes at the EUR.
 - 'City strolls' (Stadswandelingen) is a podcast series that explores the relationship between Rotterdam and its university. While strolling through the city, we will initiate and record conversations with involved city inhabitants, stakeholders, and EUR-academics, exploring urgent and interesting urban questions from different perspectives.
 An important goal for the podcast is bringing to light the contemporary challenges facing Rotterdam in a widely accessible format. At the same time, the series will function as a portrait of the countless ways in which the university and the city of Rotterdam are already intertwined.
 - 'Erasmus in dialogue with…' (Erasmus in gesprek met) is a series of meetings and events that strengthen the relationship between the city and the university by creating new connections. Within the EV-domains – Sustainability, Metropolitan Challenges, Social Inequality and Health – four interdisciplinary teams of students work asconnectorsbased on a method that consists of three components:
 1. Based on their own background and expertise, the students primarily contribute to the (network) analysis of complex Rotterdam problems, building on the knowledge and experience of our academic and urban partners. They map out what these problems entail, where they are located, and who is associated with them. Which institutions, organisations, individuals etc. are committed to a greener, better, fairer and healthier Rotterdam? And who would benefit from being assisted by students and academics from the university?
 2. In a parallel process, the teams map out socially relevant EUR research. Which EUR scientists do valuable research within the given context? Who would be willing and able to enter into a conversation in the city? And who would benefit from coming into contact with those who, in practical terms, are closely linked to their research area?
 3. The last step is for the students to organise meaningful meetings between these two worlds. During these 'events', the main focus will be on exchanging contiguous and mutually reinforcing perspectives on specific issues. These encounters have multiple functions. Scientists will gain knowledge, inspiration, and information from the interactions with the daily reality within their research field. Simultaneously, the relevance of academic research and knowledge increases when it is put into practice. Our interlocutors and stakeholders in the city benefit as well by gaining valuable insights that can be used in the daily struggles with complex challenges. Also, the students who act as facilitators and organizers will gain valuable experiences whilst contributing to a better city. Ultimately, the meetings form the basis for more resilient networks. This will ensure that we are able to find each other when needed. Because together we are stronger and together we are smarter.

 - In 'Joint Forces' (Gebundelde krachten) we focus on taking the next step: developing concrete collaborations and sustainable partnerships with the aim to strengthen and intensify the relationship between the EUR and the city of Rotterdam. In this track, students commit themselves – under the guidance of EUR academics – to partners in the city with whom they will face complex challenges as part of their academic education. At the university this will be implemented by means of internships, impact driven courses and graduation projects. In the city, this will take the form of local research projects and written policy advice. In this way, students will learn to take social responsibility during their studies. They will learn to look beyond their disciplinary and academic boundaries and to act responsibly in the complex social reality in which they will be active as alumni.
 We are looking for ambitious students!
 Erasmus Verbindt is looking for motivated, ambitious students to enforce the Track 3 team! As a team you will play an important role in bringing societal challenges into the education of EUR.

Homeless people who do not get enough to eat use hospitals and emergency rooms at very high rates, according to a new study. One in four respondents to a nationwide survey reported not getting enough to eat, a proportion six times higher than in the general population, and more than two thirds of those had recently gone without eating for a whole day. The report will appear in the Journal of General Internal Medicine and has been released online.
"The study is the first to highlight the association between food insufficiency and health care use in a national sample of homeless adults," says lead author Travis P. Baggett, MD, MPH, of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) General Medicine Division. "Our results suggest a need to better understand and address the social determinants of health and health-care-seeking behavior,"
Baggett and a team of investigators at MGH and the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program analyzed survey data from 966 adult respondents to the 2003 nationwide Health Care for the Homeless User Survey. They found that homeless people who did not have enough to eat had a higher risk of being hospitalized in a medical or psychiatric unit than did those with enough to eat and also were more likely to be frequent users of emergency rooms. Neither relationship could be explained by individual differences in illness. Nearly half of the hungry homeless had been hospitalized in the preceding year and close to one-third had used an emergency room four or more times in the same year.
Baggett explains the study was sparked by his clinical experience caring for homeless individuals. "Homeless patients with inadequate food may have difficulty managing their health conditions or taking their medications. They may postpone routine health care until the need is urgent and may even use emergency rooms as a source of food. Whether expanding food services for the very poor would ameliorate this problem is uncertain, but it begs further study." Baggett is an instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
The senior author of the JGIM study is Nancy Rigotti, MD, MGH General Medicine. Additional co-authors are James O'Connell, MD, and Monica Bharel, MD, MGH and Boston Health Care for the Homeless; Daniel Singer, MD, MGH General Medicine, and Sowmya Rao, PhD, MGH Biostatistics. The study was supported by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of its founding in 1811, Massachusetts General Hospital is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of nearly $700 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine.

Code of Student Conduct
For additional information, please contact:
Department of Student Relations
(239) 377-0540In accordance with the mandate required by Florida Law, all students attending Collier County Public Schools will be provided access to the Code of Student Conduct handbook, hereinafter referred to as the Code. The Code provides for recognition of the rights of the student, including the right to learn. It provides for the recognition of responsibilities of students in respect to the rights of others and in respect to the obligation of all the schools to provide the order necessary for meaningful and effective instruction and learning.All Collier County Schools shall follow the Code in development of their individual school handbooks. Students receive this information so they may fully understand their responsibilities and rights. Schools accomplish their educational purposes in a learning climate in which the rights and responsibilities of each individual are known and respected. Implicit in these rights is the responsibility of respecting the rights of others. The primary function of the public schools is to provide an equal educational opportunity for all students. Education cannot take place unless there is an atmosphere of good order and discipline described as the absence of distractions and disturbances, which interfere with the optimum functioning of the student, the class, and/or the school.As students progress through school, it is reasonable to assume that an increase in age and maturity carries with it a greater responsibility for one's actions. Differences in age and maturity determine in part the type of disciplinary action to be taken. The procedures outlined in the Code apply to all students in Collier County Public Schools.The Code is in force while the student is traveling to and from school, including, but not necessarily limited to, school-sponsored events, field trips, athletic functions, and other activities where appropriate administrators have jurisdiction over students. Additionally, the Principal has the authority to take administrative action when a student's misconduct away from school is having, or could have, a detrimental effect on the other students or on the orderly educational process. Students on Out-of-School Suspension or who are expelled, or who are placed at an alternative site in lieu thereof, may not enter or be within 1,000 feet of any unassigned school campus at any time.Good order and discipline are best thought of as being positive, not negative; of helping a student to adjust, rather than to punish; of turning unacceptable conduct into acceptable conduct. It is also the presence of a friendly yet businesslike atmosphere in which students and school personnel work cooperatively toward mutually recognized and accepted goals.Throughout the Code, the term "parents" includes legal guardians or other persons standing in loco parent is (such as a grandparent or stepparent with whom the child lives, or a person who is legally responsible for the welfare of the child).

asphaltiteArticle Free Pass
asphaltite, any of several naturally occurring, hard, solid bitumens whose chief constituents, asphaltenes, have very large molecules. Asphaltites are dark brown to black in colour. They are insoluble in petroleum naphthas and thus require heating to release their petroleum content. Though related to asphalts, asphaltites differ from them chemically and physically in some ways. Asphaltites, for example, usually contain little or no inorganic minerals, but asphalts may have a relatively large percentage of such matter. Also, unlike asphalts, asphaltites do not fuse readily.
Asphaltites are commonly classified into three groups: Gilsonite (or uintaite), glance pitch (or manjak), and grahamite. These substances differ from one another basically in terms of specific gravity and temperature at which they soften. Gilsonite occurs chiefly along the Colorado–Utah border, U.S.; glance pitch on Barbados and in Colombia; and grahamite in Cuba and Mexico, as well as in West Virginia and Oklahoma, U.S.

Right Time Pricing is a new way of paying for electricity that gives you more control over your energy costs.Family Sitting
As a participant in this voluntary program, you'll be charged for your electricity depending on when you choose to use it. Unlike the simple flat rate you pay for electricity today, Right Time Pricing rewards you with a lower rate for using electricity during "off-peak" (lower) demand times.
If you're an energy conscious customer, you can save money by shifting your highest electricity use to periods of the day when prices are lower. Managing your electricity use through Right Time Pricing also means you help reduce strain on the regional electricity supply. This helps avert power outages and reduce harmful carbon emissions for a healthier environment.

The matrix of single choices is a combination of multiple single choice questions in each row. It is used mainly in situations where several questions of the same nature are repeated. The respondent selects just ONE answer on each row.
The matrix question is particularly relevant for scale questions. The typical example is a Likert scale. Questions in the matrix could greatly optimize and shorten your questionnaire.
This question can be included in any analysis. Traditionally, we can evaluate the frequencies in both relative and absolute values (percentages or number of occurrences) for individual rows.
The overall results are displayed in a classic bar graph, so you can switch to the so-called stacked bar graph for the ratio display.

How to Use a Photo As a Texture in Paint 3D
Using a photo as a texture in Microsoft's Paint 3D is a lot like using a sticker, only a custom one. You can use any type of texture, so long as it's highly visible in the photo -- brick, water, grass, etc. Once placed, you can maintain the texture by stretching it over your artwork, or you could paint over it and reduce the transparency to keep some elements of the texture while changing the color.
It's a versatile tool, so long as you know how to use it.
 2. Create a doodle, place a 3D object or add an item from the Remix 3D community
 3. In the top menu, click the Stickers icon.
 4. From the sidebar, select the folder icon on the far right.
 5. Click Add sticker from the sidebar.
 6. Find the photo you'd like to use as a texture and click Open.
 7. Click Make 3D in the right sidebar.
 8. Choose Make sticker from the top of the sidebar.
 9. Stretch the sticker to fit the shape.

Informally, a free functor is a left adjoint to a forgetful functor – part of a free-forgetful adjunction. (This is informal because the concept of forgetful functor is informal; any functor might be viewed as forgetful, so any left adjoint might be viewed as free, while in practice only some are.)
Formally, with respect to a monad or algebraic theory or operad, and the corresponding category of algebras over a monad or algebras over an algebraic theory or algebras over an operad, respectively, in some category, the free -algebra functor is the left adjoint to the forgetful functor.
Such a functor may be thought of as sending any object of to the -algebra freely generated by it.
In general, if is thought of as a forgetful functor and is its left adjoint, then is the free C-object on an object of.
More generally, even if the entire left adjoint doesn't exist, a free object on can be defined using a universal property, as "what the value of would be if existed." Conversely, if a free object on exists for all, then the left adjoint can be assembled from them.
For the classical functors which forget algebraic structure, cofree functors are less common than free functors. As a political joke (which works best for someone who associates political freedom with the left wing), cofree functors have sometimes been called fascist functors. Some discussion of this joke may be found at the nForum.
the free monoid functor ;
the free group functor ;
the free abelian group functor ;
the abelianization functor ;
the free category functor ;
the free operad functor;
the unitisation functor.
One formal sort of free functor is the left adjoint, where is a monad on the category and is its Eilenberg-Moore category (the category of -algebras). This includes all of thee examples above and many others.
A general way to construct free functors is with a transfinite construction of free algebras (in set-theoretic foundations), or with an inductive type or higher inductive type (in type-theoretic foundations).
The cofree coalgebra on a vector space. More generally, if is an operad in a symmetric monoidal category, its associated PROP, and if is a monoidal -category, then an -coalgebra in may be identified with a monoidal -functor. Under suitable completeness assumptions on, the forgetful functor - has a right adjoint, and this forgetful functor is comonadic.
If is a monoid, the forgetful functor on (left) -sets has a right adjoint, where acts on functions according to the rule. This forgetful functor is comonadic. Much more generally, the right adjoint to the underlying functor ( the set of objects of a category ) is comonadic. More generally still, if is complete and is a functor between small categories, the functor has a right adjoint (although will not normally be comonadic in this generality).
The forgetful functor, taking a small category to its set of objects, has a right adjoint for which is a category whose objects are elements of and where there is exactly one morphism for any. The category, which is a groupoid, is known as the chaotic category on, or the indiscrete category on.
When is topological concrete category over, as for example the forgetful functor, it frequently happens that possesses a right adjoint, assigning to a set an "indiscrete topology".
A rich source of examples is coreflective subcategories, which are comonadic over the ambient category. For example, the category of compactly generated spaces is coreflective in the category of all spaces,.

Ir/Rational – Lighting and Video
Conceived and choreographed by: Erika Tsimbrovsky
Scenery and Costumes by Vadim Puyandaev
Original Music by: Joan Jeanranaud and PC Muñoz
Ir/Rational was conceived as a ficticious meeting between Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots. The dance and music moved through myriad performance styles from slow abstract movement to contemporary structured improvisation and then looping back to Renaissance musical and dance forms.
The video was built starting with historical documents such as a 16th century map of London, the execution letter written by Elizabeth for Mary, and historical paintings. Original footage of the dancers was also shot and incorporated into the work. Animations were made combining live footage of the dancers with historical paintings and then rotoscoped to create a moving painting that was projected. Various elements were music reactive as well. By taking a live music feed from the musicians and routing it through the video to manipulate and distort it I was able to match both movement and music to the images.
These images were obscured through various geometric masks that were echoed in the lighting. Boxes, diamonds, and parallelograms all created various feelings of confinement and separation for the two queens. Handwritten text scrolled over dancers and lit them as both an environmental element and a lighting source. One set of projectors were placed overhead to blend and create a single wide image on the rear cyc while a third projector sat on the ground serving as footlights. Knowing the two projected images would blend on the cyc, I created the visual imagery to work as a composite of the two sources with fun and interesting shadow play resulting from the floor mounted fixture.

White pelicans are among the largest Mississippi Flyway migrants. At an average weight of 16 pounds (7 kilograms), they rely on a nine-foot (three-meter) wingspan to enable flight at very high altitudes. They use a unique fishing technique, cooperatively herding fish into small areas on the surface where the pickings are easy.

Economic Impact Studies
Kleinhenz & Associates provides in depth economic impact studies that capture the direct, indirect, and induced effects on the economy of a particular project or industry. Economic impact studies research the quantitative impact of topics by including economic and financial data that may include estimates of tax information, employment data, and GDP, to explore the economic implications of the topic being studied. Kleinhenz & Associates is well known for its economic impact studies throughout the regional oil and gas industry and on topics ranging from climate studies, to transportation, technology, housing, and energy resources.
Project Examples
 - Currently engaged in study that quantifies the economic impact of the 2014 Toledo drinking water crisis due to algae bloom in Lake Erie.
 - Evaluated the economic contribution and affiliated benefits of the operations of a major museum, including significant capital expenditures related to facility expansion and the expenditures from visitors.
 - Examined a 25-year replacement program for a major gas pipeline on the State of Ohio's Economy.
 - Conducted an assessment of the potential economic impact associated with the emergence of a significant market for offshore wind in Lake Erie. Estimates were made for the economic impact upon the state of Ohio, Northern Ohio (21 counties), and Northeast Ohio (14 counties). This study investigated the economic effects of two scenarios depicting different deployment rates of wind turbines in Lake Erie.
 - Identified and estimated the economic benefits to the State of Ohio from the products, information, services, and expenditures provided by and associated with the Ohio Geological Survey (OGS). Kleinhenz & Associates advanced a theoretical framework to explain the private as well as public good benefits provided by the OGS.

In the late 1880s, the body of a 16-year-old girl was pulled from the Seine. She was apparently a suicide, as her body showed no marks of violence, but her beauty and her enigmatic smile led a Paris pathologist to order a plaster death mask of her face.
In the romantic atmosphere of fin de siècle Europe the girl's face became an ideal of feminine beauty. The protagonist of Rainer Maria Rilke's 1910 novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge writes, "The mouleur, whose shop I pass every day, has hung two plaster masks beside his door. [One is] the face of the young drowned woman, which they took a cast of in the morgue, because it was beautiful, because it smiled, because it smiled so deceptively, as if it knew."
Ironically, in 1958 the anonymous girl's features were used to model the first-aid mannequin Rescue Annie, on which thousands of students have practiced CPR. Though the girl's identity remains a mystery, her face, it's said, has become "the most kissed face of all time."

Brian Switek: How did bones evolve?
Fossil fanatic Brian Switek explains what a bone actually is, and why they are so important in human history.
Brian Switek, the pen name of science writer and fossil fanatic Riley Black, this year released a book called The Secret Life of Bones: Their Origins, Evolution and Fate (£9.99, Duckworth). In it, she explains how and why we evolved bones, and explains the relationship we humans have with these sturdy struts of osseous tissue.
In this week's episode of the Science Focus Podcast, she helpfully explains what a bone is and how they turn into fossils, as well as how they revealed Richard III's diet and were historically used to justify scientific racism, and why Hollywood is getting aliens all wrong.

Extrusion is the process of creating three-dimensional geometry out of flat, two-dimensional shapes by drawing the 2-D shape along a path in 3-D space. The extrusion path may be a straight line or any kind of curve. If the path is linear, it may be normal to, or at any other angle to the extruded shape.
Extrusion may be used to both build a 3-D object to begin with, or to add additional geometry to an existing 3-D polygon mesh object. In the latter case, a polygon (or group of polygons) comprising part of the surface of the object are extruded. This extrusion can be either outward or inward on the 3-D object, creating positive or negative surface detail. Extrusion of polygons on 3-D objects is often associated with a beveling type of effect.

Primary care plays a crucial role as the front-line service of the NHS, particularly in Wales, which has some of the most disadvantaged communities in Europe. Effective, comprehensive primary care improves not only health but also quality of life.
However, the provision of primary care varies greatly across the country. Rural and post-industrial areas pose very different healthcare challenges.
The review by Derek Wanless identified a need for primary care investment and development to ensure sustainability of both primary and secondary care services. Currently, a lot of health care is delivered in hospitals that could and should be provided in the community, close to where people live and more cost effectively. The Welsh Assembly Government's vision is for locally accessible services offering patients integrated services from clinical, health and social care professionals, together with services for procedures where quality is enhanced by concentrating them in fewer, highly specialised centres.
To support this vision, several Welsh Universities are collaborating to create the Wales School for Primary Care Research. Backed by the Welsh Assembly Government, this will provide relevant research to help the development of high quality primary care in General Practice, Pharmacy, Nursing, Optometry and Dentistry in the first instance. It aims to develop and share excellence in primary care research and, in time, work with professionals across all relevant disciplines to improve the quality and quantity of primary care research in Wales.
The School is a new partnership between the Universities of Cardiff, Swansea, Glamorgan and Bangor. The Director, Professor Chris Butler, Professor of Primary Care Medicine at Cardiff University, said: "Worldwide, health care delivery is changing fast, with excellent primary care widely recognised as the key to a sustainable health service. But this has to be underpinned by world-leading research if it is to deliver. The Wales School for Primary Care Research brings together researchers from several primary care disciplines to develop and share research excellence so Wales can continue to punch way above its weight in this crucial field."
First Minister Rhodri Morgan said: "Research shows that those countries which have a strong primary care health services are best able to control health costs and have populations that are satisfied with care provision and have a high level of health. The Wales Office for Research and Development for Health and Social Care is developing a strong research infrastructure on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government, who are supporting the development of the Wales School for Primary Care Research.
"The main emphasis of the Wales School of Primary Care Research will be to promote a 'step change' improvement in the quality and quantity of multi-disciplinary research. World-class research of international standard will then generate evidence that is locally applicable and internationally relevant to inform practice and policy in Wales and beyond."
Professor Joyce Kenkre, Professor of Primary Care in the Faculty Health, Sport and Science at the University of Glamorgan and Associate Director of the Wales School of Primary Care Research, said: "The development of evidence based care provision for the population within Wales is important. This should be based on high quality research and this new initiative will provide the opportunity for health care professions to work together in primary care to investigate future care delivery."
The Centre for Health-Related Research, at Bangor University is part of the partnership. Centre Director Professor Jane Noyes said: "The All Wales School for Primary Care Research is a great opportunity for Bangor University researchers to contribute their expertise to the partnership. The partnership will provide opportunities to investigate primary care issues that local people face in North Wales and enable us to undertake research of international relevance."
The School's official launch takes place at the Senedd, Cardiff Bay, on Monday September 29, with the First Minister for Wales, Rhodri Morgan.
