Electronic Logging Device (ELD) FAQs
Skip to Definitions Skip to Electronic Logging Questions
What is AOBRD?
The term "AOBRD," or "Automatic On-board Recording Device," has been defined since the 1980s as "an electric, electronic, electromechanical, or mechanical device capable of recording driver's duty status information accurately and automatically as required by §395.15. The device must be integrally synchronized with specific operations of the commercial motor vehicle in which it is installed. At a minimum, the device must record engine use, road speed, miles driven, the date, and time of day."
Many of the devices installed prior to December 18, 2017, were AOBRDs. However, as of December 17, 2019, all AOBRDs must have been updated to meet the ELD technical specifications.
What is ELD?
An electronic logging device (ELD) is the most recent type of electronic log. ELDs are capable of recording a driver's driving hours and duty status automatically. To be considered an ELD, the device must meet specific technology requirements and be listed on the FMCSA ELD registration site. As of December 17, 2019, only ELDs listed on FMCSA's ELD registry are considered compliant electronic logs.
What is ELog?
E-Logs or ELogs is a generic term used to a logging device that automatically captures certain information (such as when the driver is driving). The only acceptable e-log as of December 17, 2019, is an ELD.
What is EOBR?
Electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) were the devices that were originally intended to replace AOBRDs, but the rulemaking to do so was never finalized.
Electronic Logging Questions
Is electronic logging required?
The FMCSA published the ELD mandate in the December 16, 2015, Federal Register. Motor carriers had until December 18, 2017, to comply with the ELD mandate, which required the use of ELDs or grandfathered AOBRDs by most interstate drivers of commercial motor vehicles to record their hours of service. Grandfathered AOBRDs were automatic on-board recording devices that were placed into service before December 18, 2017. Grandfathered AOBRDs must have been upgraded to meet the ELD technical specifications by December 17, 2019, to remain compliant.
What benefits come with using ELDs, even if not required to?
There are numerous benefits to using electronic logs:
First and foremost, ELDs can greatly simplify compliance by eliminating the need for paper logs. Drivers and carriers see significant time savings from going paperless.
Some of the most common logging violations can be eliminated. Virtually all "form and manner" log violations go away, drivers always know where they stand on compliance, and drivers always have a current log. Alerts will tell driver when they are approaching an hours-of-service limit. As a result, carriers that use ELDs see 50 percent fewer hours-of-service roadside inspection violations.
Besides making compliance easier, ELDs make auditing easier and faster. The systems typically come with automated auditing built in.
Roadside inspections can be easier and quicker.
Scheduling and dispatch become easier because office personnel know the location of the vehicles and how much time drivers have available.
Location, engine use, speed, and other data captured by the devices can prove valuable during litigation or other legal proceedings, potentially protecting both the driver and company.
Can a carrier install and/or use AOBRDs??
No. A carrier that had AOBRDs installed and in use prior to December 18, 2017, was allowed to continue using AOBRDs until December 17, 2019. As of that date, all devices in service must be ELDs.
My drivers do their logs on laptops and smartphones. Are those considered a compliant ELD?
These devices are not ELDs because they are not either directly or indirectly connected to the engine to automatically collect the required vehicle data (such as movement, engine hours, and speed data). Therefore, they cannot be used to satisfy the ELD mandate requirements. These non-integrated devices are allowed for logging only if the driver has an exemption to use paper logs rather than an ELD. If the driver is using a non-integrated logging app or program, the driver must be able to produce a compliant paper (printed) log on demand.
What does a driver using an ELD have to do at a roadside inspection?
The driver must be able to electronically transfer the records for the current day and the previous seven days to an inspector. The primary methods of doing so are either telematically through a web address or email, or locally through a USB 2.0 or a Bluetooth® connection. The driver must also be able to display or print the current and previous seven days for the officer. If a display is used, the officer must be able to view it outside of the vehicle. The officer will also ask the driver to present the device's user manual, data transfer instructions, malfunction instructions, and eight blank paper logs.
In addition, the driver must provide any supporting documents that he or she has in possession to the inspector upon request.
Do drivers using ELDs ever have to print out logs for an inspector?
Drivers that are using an ELD only have to printing if the device does not have a display the officer can view outside of the vehicle.
What happens if an ELD stops working?
If an ELD malfunctions (is no longer functioning as a compliant recorder), the driver must:
Note the failure of the device;
Reconstruct paper logs for the current day and the previous 7 days, less any days for which the driver has records or that the device can still display;
Continue to prepare a handwritten log until the device is working again; and
Notify the carrier in writing within 24 hours of the failure.
Once notified, the carrier has eight days to repair or replace the device. If it cannot be repaired or replaced within eight days, the carrier can ask its local FMCSA office for an extension.
Ensure your drivers understand the regulations surrounding ELD failure and other mandate requirements with ELD and hours of service training.
Can the FMCSA request our GPS records during an audit?
Yes, records from Global Positioning Systems (GPS) associated with fleet management, communication, and tracking systems may be subject to audit by the FMCSA (whether those systems are a part of an ELD system or not). Such records are considered "supporting documents" for hours-of-service compliance, and must be maintained by the motor carrier for six months. The FMCSA may use GPS records to verify the information contained on drivers' logs, even if the company does not do so.
What has to be carried on the vehicle in addition to the ELD itself?
A driver using an ELD must also carry:
A user's manual for operating the device;
An instruction sheet with step-by-steps instructions for transferring hours-of-service records to an authorized safety official;
An instruction sheet on reporting ELD malfunctions and recordkeeping procedures during malfunctions; and
At least eight blank paper grid graph logs to record driver duty status and related information, in case of ELD malfunction.

Wash & clean ginger, green chilies and grind them to a coarse paste in a mixer grinder. Heat a pan and add oil to it. When oil is hot add the cashew nut pieces and fry them. Fry the nuts till they turn golden in color and keep them aside.
Heat a pan and add oil to it. When oil is hot add fenugreek seeds and black gram. Fry till the seeds start changing color. Then add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Fry till the seeds splutter. Then add curry leaves and ground ginger-chili paste. Fry well. Now add water and salt. Mix well. When the water starts boiling lower the flame and add the ghee. Then add semolina little by little and mix. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the lid and mix the upma well. Switch off the flame and add fried cashew nut pieces and lemon juice. Mix well and serve hot.
Take care while adding semolina to the boiling water. Add very little quantity of semolina and mix with a spoon. As there is more water compared to the semolina we have added, it will get mixed immediately. Then add some more semolina and mix. Like this finish off the semolina which has been taken. If one follows the above procedure there won't be any lumps. If you add all the semolina at once, then it forms into a big lump and will not get mixed with the water.
Adding right amount of salt brings the perfect taste to the dish. After adding salt taste the water and check it. It is better to add salt at this level which gets mixed well with the water. If you add salt after the upma preparation is over, it will not get mixed well and spoils the taste.
To avoid lump formation one can dry roast the semolina before adding it to the boiling water.
Take water in a bowl and let it boil. Simultaneously prepare the seasoning on another stove. After frying the seasonings add the semolina, ghee & salt and fry well. Now add the boiling water to the mixture and mix well. Add fried cashew nuts, lemon juice to the upma. Mix well & serve hot.
I avoid doing upma the above way because when we add boiling water to the semolina it splutters and makes a mess to clean the gas stove.
This upma is also served with Pesarattu and we call it Pesarattu-Upma or MLA Pesarattu.

Of Eminem€™s many forays into national and political disparagement through music, €˜White America€™ is perhaps his most accomplished €" but the verses attacking the Bush administration don€™t seem as resonant a decade later as they might have then. It€™s the third verse that catches the tone and message of the song best as an observation of the racial aspect of the rap genre and its effect on him as an automatic outcast. A stark memorandum on how his music is often challenged by those completely ignorant to his music and the connection he has with his fans, who instead condemn him for his controversial presence in the industry. It€™s a powerful statement and the slow build towards the final chorus is infectious, his flow is virtually ceaseless from the €œlyrics, lyrics€€ line up until the end. A solid conclusion to a great song.
A mythical hedonist, a chronic solipsist, a poet armed with a mouth full of adjectives, a brain full of adverbs and a box full of laxatives. Writing words in a language that isn't real to impress people that I invented since The Big Bang.

About Picture of the Day @Wisdomsdoor.com, Eye of Reflection: Who you are is a composite of your inner reality and your outer reality. You are the reflection of these realities as they are impressed upon the universal canvas.
Your outer reality is the world you see around you now, the people in it, the things that surround you etc. This reality is perhaps plain enough to see. However what about the inner reality? What exactly is that?
Your inner reality is your relationship with yourself. It is your thoughts to yourself, your feelings and your beliefs. How you feel about your reality. Your hopes, dreams, fears. If you could map out your thoughts to yourself and your feelings and then you create that into some kind of picture, what would that picture look like? That picture would show your inner reality. Would that picture be calm, peaceful, serene, or would it be fiery, energetic. Would that picture be angry, spiteful, dark? There is no right or wrong answer for what this inner reality turns out to be, it is the one you have created for yourself.
These two realties, the inner and outer, will go out and create the universe you find yourself in. These two realities make up who you are at any given point of time. And these realities constantly change. Unlike a picture that is static, your inner and outer worlds change to reflect your ever-shifting self. So every now and then, redraw that inner picture to get an idea of what it may have changed to.

U.S. Army fudged its accounts by Trillions of dollars Inspector General reports
– Reuters

"The United States Army's finances are so jumbled it had to make trillions of dollars of improper accounting adjustments to create an illusion that its books are balanced.
The Defense Department's Inspector General, in a June report, said the Army made $2.8 trillion in wrongful adjustments to accounting entries in one quarter alone in 2015, and $6.5 trillion for the year. Yet the Army lacked receipts and invoices to support those numbers or simply made them up.
As a result, the Army's financial statements for 2015 were "materially misstated," the report concluded. The "forced" adjustments rendered the statements useless because "DoD and Army managers could not rely on the data in their accounting systems when making management and resource decisions."
Disclosure of the Army's manipulation of numbers is the latest example of the severe accounting problems plaguing the Defense Department for decades.
The report affirms a 2013 Reuters series revealing how the Defense Department falsified accounting on a large scale as it scrambled to close its books. As a result, there has been no way to know how the Defense Department – far and away the biggest chunk of Congress' annual budget – spends the public's money.
The new report focused on the Army's General Fund, the bigger of its two main accounts, with assets of $282.6 billion in 2015. The Army lost or didn't keep required data, and much of the data it had was inaccurate, the IG said.
"Where is the money going? Nobody knows," said Franklin Spinney, a retired military analyst for the Pentagon and critic of Defense Department planning.
The significance of the accounting problem goes beyond mere concern for balancing books, Spinney said. Both presidential candidates have called for increasing defense spending amid current global tension.
An accurate accounting could reveal deeper problems in how the Defense Department spends its money. Its 2016 budget is $573 billion, more than half of the annual budget appropriated by Congress."

Want to Cut Government Waste? Find the $8.5 Trillion the Pentagon Can't Account For
– Yahoo Finance
"If you thought the botched rollout of Obamacare, the government shutdown, or the sequester represented Washington dysfunction at its worst, wait until you hear about the taxpayer waste at the Defense Department.
Special Enterprise Reporter Scot Paltrow unearthed the "high cost of the Pentagon's bad bookkeeping" in a Reuters investigation. It amounts to $8.5 trillion in taxpayer money doled out by Congress to the Pentagon since 1996 that has never been accounted for. (The year 1996 was the first that the Pentagon should have been audited under a law requiring audits of all government departments. Oh, and by the way, the Pentagon is the only federal agency that has not complied with this law.)
We talk to Paltrow in the accompanying video about his findings.
Here are some some highlights he found among the billions of dollars of waste and dysfunctional accounting at the Pentagon:
The DOD has amassed a backlog of more than $500 billion in unaudited contracts with outside vendors. How much of that money paid for actual goods and services delivered isn't known.
Over the past 10 years the DOD has signed contracts for provisions of more than $3 trillion in goods and services. How much of that money is wasted in overpayments to contractors, or was never spent and never remitted to the Treasury is a mystery.
The Pentagon uses a standard operating procedure to enter false numbers, or "plugs," to cover lost or missing information in their accounting in order to submit a balanced budget to the Treasury. In 2012, the Pentagon reported $9.22 billion in these reconciling amounts. That was up from $7.41 billion the year before.
The accounting dysfunction leads the DOD to buy too much stuff. One example: the "vehicular control arm" to supply Humvees. In 2008, the DOD had 15,000 parts — a 14-year supply (anything more than three years is considered excess supply). Yet from 2010 to 2012, it bought 7,437 more of these parts and at higher prices than they paid for the ones they already had.
The Defense Department's 2012 budget was $565.8 billion. Paltrow points out that's more than the annual defense budgets of the next 10 biggest military spenders combined. He tells us the Pentagon "almost certainly is" the biggest source of waste in the government based on his reporting.
Looking forward, defense spending in the fiscal 2014 budget is set to be cut $20 billion from 2013 levels due to the sequester. In response, military officials, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, have raised an alarm over the impact of these cuts. Hagel told a conference the cuts are "too steep, too deep, and too abrupt."
The Wall Street Journal reports Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James F. Amos told a House panel in September the "abruptness and inflexibility of sequestration…could erode our readiness to dangerous levels."
Does Paltrow think that's true?
"So much of that could be cut, that the impact of the sequester would be much less than [what] Pentagon officials are claiming." He adds that officials are basing their budget requests on their own priorities, rather than firm knowledge of what's needed because leaders don't know what money is slushing around.
The good news is that because of arguments over the deficit and the budget, Paltrow sees signs that members of Congress are getting serious about waste at the Pentagon."

In this aspect the badge neither has evolved from the BE6, nor is missing that it does to him. There is one of the most scarce basic badges with chipset a BX that supports the new transference way for discs diros UltraDMA66, that allows to reach peaks of up to 66 MB/s (if the hard disk supports UltraDMA66 and it is the sufficiently rapid, clear thing).
After the chipset BX does not support this transference way, checker IDE would need to install a card to herself or, as in the BE6 and the BE6-II, a control chip IDE integrated to the motherboard, which avoids us to have one more utensil occupying place inside the computer.
On technology UltraDMA66 we have spoken in numerous occasions, for example here or here; only to mention that it turns out to be something quite useful, since he makes sure us that in this aspect we will not remain antiquated before time. And of course, controlers are included for all the Windows, controlers that are updated periodically in the ABIT web site.
If we acquire a motherboard as the BE6-II, we cannot commit the heresy of wasting his enormous potential for the overclocking; it has big quality, has UltraDMA66... yes, in agreement; but there is nothing as to play to "my mike covers 2 MHz any more than yours"... A game that if one harms can finish with a "toasted" mike, does not forget it.
The speeds of bus of this table are those who have the badges Slot1 with good capacities of overclocking (eye, someone do not have ANY overclocking option, the Intel is a sad example of badges anti-overclocking). Most of Pentium III 450 would support up to 110 MHz without problems, and it is possible that up to 112 MHz (although nobody assures that it should be obtained by all, etc, etc...).
But from 112 MHz problems begin appearing, for two factors: the proper severity of the overclocking (more than 12 %, that is to say, more than 54 MHz free) and the instability of the graphic card AGP (whose speed will be equal to that of the bus or 2/3 you depart from this one, as in this case). It is in this area where 1 MHz more or less represents an authentic luxury.
It will be able to control these factors thanks to the system of monitoring of the hardware (temperatures, speed of fans...) and the program to do it from Windows in addition to from the BIOS. It will have also the possibility (something essential for an overclocker) of programming an alarm on having come to temperatures of risk (more of 55�C in a continued way, for example).
Certainly, someone will have thought: "Graphic card PCI? What I slow down!" Since not, for nothing. Still there exist a few cards high quality PCI, which are the Voodoo3. The difference of yield between the version AGP and the PCI is about an insignificant one 3 %, as it can be observed in this one comparative, and with this badge we can fit the PCI divisor to 1/2, 1/3 � 1/4 of the speed of bus (with a 120 MHz bus, for example, if 120x1/3=40 MHz gives us problems we would use 120x1/4=30), what eliminates any possible problem.
Anyway, that there is not doubt that if he wants to get in the world of the overclocking, the BE6-II is (probably) the most suitable badge. Although not everything is to change the bus and to fit the latency of the cache memory, he will keep on needing a good fan... and a lot of luck.
Nevertheless, bear in mind that the badges with chipset i820 will not be late too much come to the market. These badges have an advantage on the BX, including the BE6-II: they allow to select a 1/2 divisor for the AGP, something completely impossibly with the chipset BX.
That makes them more adapted for Pentium III Coppermine with bus of 133 MHz (the B and EB), but neither it turns out to be slightly worrying; Pentium III E (Coppermine with 100 MHz bus) has a practically identical yield, and if we want to use a model with 133 MHz bus we will always be able to install a card 3Dfx Voodoo in format PCI (the Voodoo4 and 5 have already promised to be for PCI), what eliminates any problem.
... it would use them one year or this way, and then it would put a Pentium III (that also overclockear�a) and a Voodoo4/5, which by that time they will cost what now the Celeron and her i740. The entire cost would be relatively low, it would be always updated... and would spend it to me brilliantly doing the overclocking. I would do that; and you?


Although the fundamental scale is in F, the bassoon is a non-transposing instrument (actual pitches are notated).
Notation is in bass clef, with tenor clef being used for the higher registers. Notation in treble clef is rare.


Google is making an effort to gradually open up the capabilities of politicians, celebrities, museums, sports teams' etcetera. Now you can directly post social media updates to its search result pages. Bravo! It came to be known that Google is introducing the feature in the US to the musicians.
Which means you can see Kygo, Lorde, Steve Aoki, Sia, Son little and many other celebrities in the side bar and the updates will be in the form of GIF's, text, videos or links to other sites.
Musicians who are participating should search their name and then look for a link to sign up inside the Knowledge Panel (the sidebar panel with all of the additional information about an artist) If your name is not visible then you are not famous and you are out of luck.
Knowledge Panel will pop up your names and Google is laying a groundwork which will be available to virtually everyone.

Q: Angular 6 setTimeout I know there were some intricacies with timeouts in AngularJS, and was wondering how it works in Angular (latest).
Looking at the definitions set in index.d.ts, I see the following definition:
declare function setTimeout(callback: (...args: any[]) => void, ms: number, ...args: any[]): NodeJS.Timer;

So, I thought that I'm using the setTimeout function from Node.js API, but when I checked the compiled code, there's no mentioning of the NodeJS.Timer, and setTimeout remains unchanged.
So, I guess it turns into window.setTimeout on compile? Did anyone run into this?

A: The definition is made for the developper, not for the final product : in Javascript, variables aren't typed, and don't implement interfaces (or aren't instance of classes).
This means that somewhere in your definitions, you will a NodeJS.Timer interface, that will give you all the properties of that interface. But it could have been called HeyDude.WhereIs.MyCar, this wouldn't have made a difference.
Bottom line is, don't bother with that, that's just code completion. If you have another question, feel free to ask it in your question.

Capital punishment is one of the most hotly debated issues in the criminal justice system. At some point throughout history, nearly every state has fought to amend laws concerning capital punishment, including Georgia. Recently, Florida has made headlines after a lengthy battle with the U.S. Supreme Court regarding death row and disabled defendants. According to media accounts, Florida and other states have made it incredibly difficult for defendants to prove that they are mentally disabled, and therefore, have been exercising capital punishment on these individuals.

The Padded Door (1932) by Brian Flynn
Leonard Pearson was not a pleasant individual – a money lender and likely blackmailer – so it wasn't to anyone's great surprise when he came to a sticky end. Attacked from behind, his head smashed in with a blunt instrument, the only clue to his murderer came from the identity of his final visitor. Captain Hilary Frant came to see Pearson that night on some very personal business, and was heard threatening Pearson. And given that his heavy walking-stick is mysteriously missing…
Frant's family, once he is arrested, have but one recourse – send for Anthony Bathurst. But with Bathurst delayed in starting the investigation, the trail is already growing very cold. With only Frant's honour as a hint to his innocence – he would have been unlikely to attack Pearson from behind – and the hanging judge, Mr Justice Heriot, presiding over the trial, all seems bleak. But an unexpected second death soon turns everything on its head…
Before I continue talking about this, the eleventh Anthony Bathurst mystery, I should give a warning. There is, at time of writing, exactly one copy for sale on the internet, for approximately £1200. It's not worth that. Mainly because it's a book and no book is worth that. However, if you are patient and can wait about ten or eleven months… well, it's looking like there will be more titles coming from Dean St Press of which this will be one.
So let's start with number eleven. And it's a good one. It's a very good one.
The structure is interesting. Despite opening in the first person, it seems to be Flynn himself doing something of a Watson impression, talking about being able to finally tell the story as someone important involved in the case has passed away. One can only hope, for the sake of our hero, it's Anthony Lotherington Bathurst himself who dies, as he does commit a crime in this book which just might have a prison sentence attached to it. If not, letting his good chum Brian write up this adventure seems like something of an oversight. But after the first few paragraphs, the narrator fades away and it becomes a traditional third-person narrative until the final few paragraphs…
Putting that aside, the description of the crime and the participants (and possible participants) takes a clever idea, with each of the opening chapters focussing on one individual, jumping back a step in time with each new chapter to tell different peoples sides of the same events. It gives the reader a chance to get a good handle on some of the suspects in the crime.
As with the twentieth Bathurst mystery, Tread Softly, the trial is not the end of the story, but the plot carries a genuine surprise with the second death. It came out of nowhere, completely blindsiding me and yet, when the whole picture is revealed, it makes perfect sense in the grand scheme of things.
It's full of the charm and wit of the series, and finally gives a reasonable role to Inspector Andrew MacMorran who has had a couple of fleeting appearances to date, but will become the regular support policeman. To an extent, he and Bathurst are on opposite sides initially, as it is he who arrests Frant, but with the second death, they are both pursuing the same adversary. However, he does disappear for a good chunk of the tale, apparently waiting for Bathurst to let him know when he's got everything sorted. An odd way to run Scotland Yard, but fair enough, at least you'll know you've got the right man. Probably.
Everything here is deducible, provided you can swallow… something. It's not the first time Flynn has overdone this aspect and won't be the last, but if you're OK with that bit, then everything can be put into place. I didn't, to be fair, and the stupidity of one guilty party that allows themselves to be trapped, you have to wonder how they got away with it for so long. But this is, as always with Flynn, a highly entertaining mystery, written with the reader's enjoyment in mind. A book that can stand side by side with the opening ten titles – which, in case you weren't aware, are available now from Dean Street Press – it's something to look forward to.

Sirshendu Chakraborty says:
Good to know that the next set of Flynn is now a certainty. Have you been able to locate No 12??
Puzzle Doctor says:
Well, a strong probability, rather than a certainty, but there are plans… And yes, a copy of number 12, The Edge Of Terror has been located.

› Heron Island
Discover beautiful Heron Island, on the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef.
This 4-day stay on beautiful Heron Island leaves most of your time at leisure to discover its delights.
Heron Island is a tranquil coral cay situated at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. Despite being on the reef's fringe, Heron is still blessed with 72% of the Reef's coral species, and around 900 of its 1,500 fish species. 20 dive sites surround the island, and turtles return each year to nest on its shores. Of course, with no mobile reception and television-free rooms, Heron Island is also the perfect place to simply relax surrounded by nature.
Arrive Heron Island
On arrival in Gladstone you will transfer by your choice of boat or seaplane to Heron Island. This is an exclusive island for guests only (no day-trippers here) and, with television-free rooms and no mobile phone reception, it's ideally positioned to take you back to nature, as it is a natural coral cay.
The nature itself is absolutely spectacular. The island is situated on the Great Barrier Reef, which means you can snorkel right off the island. Scuba divers come back again and again to fully discover the 20 dive sites that are just minutes off the island. The remainder of your day is at leisure.
Heron Island Resort

If you're a nature lover, Heron Island really is a special place. It's a natural coral cay off the coast of Queensland, so it's not just another resort near the Great Barrier Reef, it's the premier resort on the Great Barrier Reef. The reef, with a myriad of colourful coral and reef fish, is right here, at your fingertips, right off the beach. This makes Heron Island an easy vacation choice for divers, swimmers, and people who love to snorkel. The resort also offers an array of activity options for those who like to relax, explore and laze on beaches far from crowds, enjoying the peace and quiet. (An Environmental Management Fee of $6.50 per day or $19.50 max per stay is payable directly at the resort - subject to change.)
Mail and Postal Facilities
Wheelchair Accessible Rooms
Heron Island at Leisure
The days are at leisure to relax and explore Heron and the Great Barrier Reef. Heron Island is small enough to walk around in 20 minutes, yet it has everything you could wish for: a restaurant (Shearwater Restaurant) to satisfy healthy appetites, a deep resort swimming pool backing onto a bar (Baillie's Bar) and an abundance of wildlife that will truly amaze. Turtles return year after year to lay their eggs and guests can gather just outside their rooms (particularly the Beachside Suites) to watch the hatchlings make their way to the water.
Come June you may see whales passing by on their annual pilgrimage. Nesting season sees the island's resident human population well outnumbered by birds. The island's"twitchers list" (available from the information centre) lists no fewer than 19 birds; two of which (the Black Noddy and the Wedge-tailed Shearwater) visit annually from October to March to breed.
Depart Heron Island
At leisure until your return to Gladstone.
Accommodation for 3 nights
Full buffet breakfast daily
Resort activities including tennis
Limited seats, subject to availability
Heron Island is a natural coral cay 89kms off the coast of Queensland, so it's not another Great Barrier Reef resort, it's a resort on the Great Barrier Reef. By sea or by air, you can choose your mode of transportation to and from Heron Island.
There are scenic seaplane transfers daily that operate between 7am-4.30pm from Gladstone or 8am-5.30pm from Heron Island.
There are scheduled boat transfers from Gladstone several times per week, departing Gladstone Marina at 11am, arriving Heron Island at 1pm. The return service departs Heron Island at 1pm, arriving in to Gladstone Marina at 3.45pm.
There are no transfers Christmas day.

Delita Martin's 'The Dinner Table' at Art League Houston
by Betsy Huete June 23, 2018
Houston-based artist Delita Martin beckons us inside her installation with The Dinner Table, currently up at Art League Houston: "Come, I have set a place at The Dinner Table for you." She has repeatedly described this work as communal, in that her table breaks tradition with her predecessors Judy Chicago and Carrie Mae Weems by leaving the table top unoccupied. With the seats intended to be filled by the viewers, Martin is creating an opportunity for us to engage with a community of black women that have impacted her life.
But to simply qualify The Dinner Table as a communal experience is trite. This work is more accurately haunting, interrogative, empathic, and confrontational. That's because Martin is doing more here than simply incorporating community members — the content of The Dinner Table is also asking us to consider archetypes of color, the history of feminist art, the history of portraiture, and the history of the gaze.
What Martin calls "a backdrop void of color," indeed contains a color: white. The table, the chairs, the walls, even the plates on which these women's faces are painted harbor whiteness — a symbol of purity and, yes, the void, of rebirth and erasure, and perhaps most pointedly, the counterpoint to the color of their skin. Why is it important to Martin that this color — so fraught, so problematic — be emblematic of the void in this room?
And why is the table physically vacant? It is poignantly problematic that these women — heroic in some way through Martin's eyes — are denied a seat at this table. Instead, they are simultaneously relegated to and heralded on the walls, patiently watching us as we occupy the space that should be theirs, while we act as both participants and interlopers. Their silence is deafening.
This space and sense of emptiness is as much an opportunity for interaction as it is a blunt-force trauma, a reminder of how black women are continuously silenced and projected upon, disregarded and presumed about, sexualized and stereotyped. But there's a chilling power in the sheer multiplicity of these faces, of the quiet looking back of approximately 150 black women. Varying in age from young girls to elderly women, their gaze by and large is not angry or jaded or bitter — there's genuine warmth emanating from these faces, which makes it all the more authentically painful. These women truly see us not really seeing them, and they carry on with grace and wisdom and understanding regardless of who recognizes it or not.
Other than an installation, Martin is also asking us to consider this work as a series of individual portraits, and while the real power of the work lies in their combinatory effect, there are a few standouts in this grouping — some that grab and maintain our attention as individuals. While most of these women are locking eyes with their viewer, there are a few here and there that are either in profile or are simply looking off somewhere else. Even though the mild-mannered yet gut-wrenching confrontation exists mostly in that eye contact, there's a portrait of a young girl near the back exit. Precious and doll-like, the girl is candidly glancing downward, just a hint of light dimming in her eyes. I've seen that look in some of my students before, when they're first starting to feel as if they aren't truly seen or heard.
Further down the same wall, closer to the hallway entrance, there is a woman quite a bit older than that girl, and with a complex look. The brow of her left eye dropping slightly, she looks skeptical and happy and annoyed and warm — as if she wants to hug us, or see right through us, or both.

High Court case finds binding contract created by emails
A recent case involving Superdrug Stores Plc and Athena Brand Ltd ruled that an email exchange between the two companies formed a binding contract.
Stephen Taylor, a Dispute Resolution and Insolvency Partner at law firm Aaron & Partners, says that businesses must now take extra care when corresponding with another party following the ruling
One of Shropshire's top dispute lawyers is urging businesses and professionals to think carefully about email correspondence after a court concluded that an exchange between two companies amounted to a binding contract between them.
Stephen Taylor, a Dispute Resolution and Insolvency Partner at law firm Aaron & Partners, has highlighted the findings of a recent High Court hearing involving high-street chain Superdrug Stores Plc, and beauty and lifestyle company Athena Brand Ltd.
The court ruled in favour of Athena after a case was brought by it in respect of orders worth almost £1million that were agreed in email exchanges.
Extracts from the emails in question are below:
[Email from representative of Athena]
"Hi Iain
…Just to confirm, you are placing orders and committing to the yearly quantity against all lines detailed below based on the ROS you have provided… We have agreed that you will call off stock, in exactly the same way as HiGlow, on an ad hoc basis within a 12-month period…
If you could drop me a note to confirm all of the above ASAP that would be great, I shall then be in a position to push the button this end…"
[Email from representative of Superdrug]
"Hi Steph
Please go ahead with the below, happy on Nature's Alchemist…"
Superdrug took first delivery of the products in October 2017 but they did not sell as well as originally anticipated. As a result, Superdrug emailed Athena in February 2018 to inform them that it would be unlikely to place any further orders for that product.
Athena argued that the emails demonstrated a clear agreement that committed Superdrug to purchase minimum quantities of products at specified prices over a 12-month period. Athena calculated that to be a cost of just under £980,000.
Superdrug's defence was:
The emails did not give rise to any agreement. Superdrug was not committed to purchase any products until it issued a purchase order. No purchase order was issued and therefore it was not bound to purchase the products for the minimum quantities;
If there was an express agreement, there was no intention of the parties to create legal relations; and
The buyer (a Mr Sissons) acting on behalf of Superdrug at that time, did not have actual or ostensible authority to commit to any such contract in any event.
The Court concluded the emails created a contract and stated:
"There is nothing in the history of the negotiations capable of showing that Athena or an objective observer would have understood that his apparent agreement to a minimum quantity was not or could not be taken as being what it seemed or that in making it he did not intend to bind Superdrug….
…There is no doubt that Athena relied on Mr Sisson's confirmation as binding Superdrug, and nothing in this evidence adduced is capable of showing that it acted unreasonably in doing so."
Stephen Taylor said: "This is a very important decision on an issue that is often a source of disputes for many businesses.
"This case demonstrates the care that should be taken when corresponding with another party, whether that is verbal exchanges, or seemingly informal exchanges in writing including emails or, increasingly, other means of electronic communication"
"A contract requires an offer; acceptance; consideration; intention to create legal relations; and certainty of terms. In this case, the Court concluded that the emails taken together created a contractual relationship.
"People often treat emails as an informal method of communication. This judgment should act as both a reminder and a warning to businesses and their employees or agents with the authority to negotiate agreements that emails must be carefully considered and they can have far reaching legal consequences."

Q: Cannot get length of an array received as parameter I have this function in which I want to rearange all the 0 found in the array at the end and I'm using a temporary array . Everything is fine until I check the length of testArray which is the original array received as a parameter .Why I can't find out his length and how is the first for working if his length is undefined ?

window.onload = function() {

var testArray =[5,3,0,55,0,9,0,8];
function moveArray(testArray){
  var tempArray= [];
  console.log(tempArray.length + " vs " + testArray.lenght);
  for( var i = 0 ;i < testArray.length; i++) {
    if(testArray[i] != 0 ){
      tempArray.push(testArray[i]);
  //    console.log("pushed " + testArray[i]);
    }
  }
 // console.log(tempArray.length + " vs " + testArray.lenght);
    while(tempArray.length < testArray.lenght){
      tempArray.push('0');
     // console.log('push 0');
    }
    testArray=tempArray;
  for( var i = 0 ;i < testArray.length; i++){
  // console.log(testArray[i]);
  }
};

  moveArray(testArray);
  };

A: you are using wrong spell in these lines
 while(tempArray.length < testArray.lenght){

console.log(tempArray.length + " vs " + testArray.lenght);

it should be
 while(tempArray.length < testArray.length){

console.log(tempArray.length + " vs " + testArray.length);

A: First of all you have a typo with your "length", lenght should be length.
Secondly, you probably want to return your value.
Here is a working example:
window.onload = function() {

var testArray =[5,3,0,55,0,9,0,8];

function moveArray(testArray){
    var tempArray= [];
    for( var i = 0 ;i < testArray.length; i++) {
        if(testArray[i] != 0 ){
            tempArray.push(testArray[i]);
        }
    }

    while(tempArray.length < testArray.length){
        tempArray.push(0);
    }
  return tempArray;
};

console.log(testArray); // output: [5, 3, 0, 55, 0, 9, 0, 8]
testArray = moveArray(testArray);
console.log(testArray); // output: [5, 3, 55, 9, 8, 0, 0, 0]
};

Опішня́нська кера́міка — традиційна українська кераміка із смт. Опішня на Полтавщині, одного з найбільших осередків виробництва гончарної кераміки в Україні. Об'єкт нематеріальної культурної спадщини України.

Згідно з археологічними знахідками, виявленими на околицях Опішні, територія селища була заселена ще у добу неоліту. Саме тоді набуває широке використання керамічного посуду. Розвиток ж сучасного промислу веде свій початок з кінця 19 століття, коли більшість населення Опішні займалося виробництвом своєрідних декоративних глеків. Сучасні опішнянські керамічні вироби зберегли багате різноманіття форм, серед яких поряд з традиційними національними з'явився ряд нових — вази, декоративні блюда тощо.

Історія

Кінець XIX століття
Найголовнішим пристроєм у роботі гончаря був гончарний круг. До кінця XIX століття в опішнянських гончарів ще зберігалися шльонські круги (архаїчніші), але майстри переважно користувалися волоськими. Вони складалися з трьох найголовніших частин: дерев'яного верхнього круга — «верхняка», нижнього круга — «спідняка», які з'єднувалися між собою віссю — «веретеном», виготовленим з твердих порід дерева.

У 1893 році в Опішні працювало 288 гончарів. Для більшості з них заняття гончарством було єдиним джерелом прибутку.

ХХ століття

Впродовж 20 століття гончарське мистецтво Опішні активно реагувало на нововведення в суспільному та мистецькому житті держави. Знаковим періодом для селища стали 1926–1941 роки: тоді були створені гончарні артілі («Художній керамік», «Червоний гончар»), які пізніше трансформувалися в заводи. Тоді також діяли Опішнянська керамічна кустарно-промислова школа (1925–1926), Опішнянська керамічна промислова школа (1927–1933) та Опішнянська школа майстрів художньої кераміки (1936–1941). Ці гончарні навчальні заклади були провідниками впровадження новацій у технологічний процес гончарного виробництва.

Одним із нововведень стало використання елементів станкового малярства. Подібні процеси відбувалися не без впливу радянської політичної ідеології.

Започаткував впровадження елементів станкового малярства в гончарство Опішні учитель малювання, іконописець та живописець Петро Кононенко, випускник Строганівського училища технічного малювання.

На початку 1930-х років на гончарних виробах під впливом радянської ідеології почали зустрічатися зображення червоноармійців. Наприклад, випускники 1939 року Опішнянської школи майстрів художньої кераміки Оксана Бабич й Олександр Ширай виготовили вазу, на якій зображено двох червоноармійців, що їдуть на білих конях. Протилежна сторона вази оздоблена мальованим контурним квітковим орнаментом. Масове застосування елементів станкового малярства на глиняних виробах Опішні припинилося наприкінці 1930-х років: Петро Кононенко закінчив роботу в селищі.

Голодомор 1932–1933 років став важким випробуванням для опішнянського гончарства. Тоді чимало гончарів виїхало із селища. Зокрема, Іван Бойченко переїхав до Одеси. Артем і Мотрона Каша виїхали в Тбілісі. Складними стали часи й для гончарного шкільництва. Житель Опішні Семен Дацінька, 1917 року народження, згадував:

Політичні репресії більшовицької влади 1930-х — 1950-х років не оминули представників гончарства колишнього Опішнянського району. Так, за звинуваченнями в антирадянській агітації були засуджені гончарі із с. Малі Будища Лаврентій Онищенко та Феоктист Мокляк — обоє до розстрілу, Іван Пічка — на 10 років позбавлення волі, гончар із Опішні Федір Задорожний — до шести років позбавлення волі.

Окрім гончарів, політичні репресії зачепили й інших опішнянців, що мали відношення до гончарської справи. Це керівники й працівники гончарних установ — Ларіон Гладиревський, Петро Ширай, Опанас Лисенко; викладачі й випускники гончарної школи — Яків Корицький, Сергій Рева, Григорій Кремпоха, Парасковія Ширай, Любов Острянин. Репресували також і дослідника опішнянського гончарства, керамолога Якова Риженка.

Початок німецько-радянської війни в 1941 році спричинив припинення діяльності Опішнянської школи майстрів художньої кераміки. Відтоді розпочався найдовший період, впродовж якого не діяли гончарні школи. Проте передача професійної майстерності все ж здійснювалася: у 1941–1962 роках переважно у формі артільного, у 1963–1986 роках — заводського учнівства, у 1963 — на початку 1980-х років — виробничого навчання при заводі «Художній керамік» учнів місцевих середніх загальноосвітніх шкіл.

Згідно зі спогадами свідків тих подій, найбільша кількість охочих навчатися в майстерні гончарної артілі «Художній керамік» була в часи німецької окупації, оскільки в містечку пройшли чутки про те, що учнів не забиратимуть до Німеччини на примусові роботи

Перед відступом радянські війська зруйнували керамічний завод. У 1942 році завод було відновлено. В опішнянській гончарній майстерні на 30 кругах працювало понад 130 робітників, переважно жінок та осіб, не придатних для військової служби. Після звільнення селища від німецьких окупантів, 19 жовтня 1943 року, частину учнів, які лишилися в Опішні було мобілізовано на фронт, що негативно позначилось на продовженні гончарного ремесла.

У часи післявоєнної відбудови в артільному та кустарному гончарстві більшості осередків України, у тому числі в Опішні, відбулося тимчасове піднесення. Однак вже до середини 1950-х років потреба в глиняному посуді помітно зменшилась, що пояснювалось газифікацією населених пунктів, виготовлення металевого та фаянсового посуду. Усе це спричинило занепад більшості гончарних осередків України.

У 1963 році опішнянські гончарні артілі «Художній керамік» та «Червоний гончар» було об'єднано й перетворено на завод «Художній керамік». Позитивним аспектом стала механізація видобування глини й підготовки маси для побутових виробів. Але встановлення значних обсягів продукції неминуче позначилося втратою основного — мистецької вартості кераміки.

На початку 1970-х рр. на «Художньому кераміку» працювало близько 330 осіб. Вироби майстрів заводу, та користувалися попитом за кордоном: у 1967 р. підприємство експортувало свої вироби у Канаду, Данію, Бельгію, НДР, Італію, Румунію, Японію, Угорщину.

Гончарського ремесла навчали опішнян навчали зі шкільного віку. На уроках праці в першому-третьому класах діти займалися ліпленням. У старших класах діяли гуртків керамістів. З учнів дев'ятих-десятих класів на добровільних засадах було сформовано два класи. Учні вивчали основи гончарства та проходила практику на керамічному заводі. Така система діяла до 1985 року. Профорієнтаційне навчання не виправдало сподівань — необхідної кількості працівників не було підготовлено.

11 березня 1986 року в селищі за дорученням Ради Міністрів України засновано Музей гончарства. Він став всеукраїнським центром дослідження, збереження й популяризації гончарської спадщини України.

Починаючи з кінця 1980-х — початку 1990-х рр. керамічний завод охоплює криза, пов'язана з переходом на ринкову систему господарювання. Криза поширилась і на гончарство Опішні: із цього часу його розвитком та передачею вмінь займаються переважно кустарі.

1997 року були зроблені спроби відродити гончарське шкільництво — у структурі Державного музею-заповідника українського гончарства в Опішному було створено перший в Україні спеціалізований навчальний мистецький заклад — «Колегіум мистецтв у Опішні».

XXI століття
На початку століття опішнянська кераміка має популярність лише як сувенірна продукція. Цим користуються торговці, які під маркою «опішнянська кераміка» продають підробки з Китаю, Туреччини і Донецької області.

З 2002 р. в старому приміщенні «Художнього кераміка» функціонує невелике приватне підприємство «Гончарний круг», працює на заводі близько 40 осіб.

Технологія виготовлення

Опішнянські гончарі створюють виріб без попередніх ескізів.

Гончарну кераміку виготовляють із місцевого виду глини. Вона має сіруватий колір, а при випалюванні набуває світло-жовтого відтінку.

Кераміка проходить 40-денний цикл виготовлення. Спочатку глину замішують на спеціальному обладнанні. Опісля декількох днів, майстер на гончарному крузі починає формувати виріб. Деякі дрібні приставні частини — ручки, носики, підставки, відтискуються в гіпсових формах, а вже потім прикріплюються рідкою глиною. Після ліплення глина тиждень сохне в природних умовах, без додаткових підігрівів і вентиляцій. Потім виріб випалюється у печі від 850 до 900 °C, після чого його глазурують або розмальовують, а потім ще раз випалюють при такій же температурі. У технології виготовлення існують невеликі розбіжності — частину горщиків розмальовують до першого випалення.

Миски роблять на спеціальних шпиндельних станках. При виготовлені свищика важливо, щоб в середині було повітря.

Розпис

Опішнянський розпис — це здебільшого рослинний орнамент: квіти, грона, колоски, гілки у вигляді букетів та віночків. Характерними рисами є світло-жовтий колір візерунка, виконаний природним кольором глини, на червоно-коричневому, білому або зеленому фоні. Колір візерунка посилюють контрастами блакитного, темно-коричневого, яскраво-зеленого, синього або чорного і поливають прозорою поливою.

Переважно кераміку розписують великим рослинним орнаментом, що складається з нескладних геометричних мотивів, без різких ламаних ліній. Форма квітів — умовна за формою, часто близька до українських настінних розписів.

Розписують вироби традиційно жінки. Для розпису використовують кольорові глини-ангоби. вироби, сформовані на гончарному крузі, спершу поливають рідкою кольоровою глиною, яка створює рівномірний тон. Після другої просушки їх розписують за допомогою гумової груші з соломинкою на кінці. Майстриня ставить виріб на гончарний круг і, обертаючи, наносить лінії. Потім, тримаючи виріб на колінах, малює візерунок, починаючи з найбільших елементів, які є опорою всієї композиції. Після закінчення нанесення контурного малюнка, його розфарбовують. Труднощі виконання розпису полягають у тому, що справжній колір ангоба виявляє під глазур'ю лише після випалу.

Для розпису мисок застосовують оригінальну техніку — «фляндрівку» (нанесення кольорів на черепок з подальшим їх розтягуванням спеціальним дротяним гачком). Виріб занурюють у червону глину, ставлять на гончарний круг і починають розписувати. Лінії «розтягують» мідним гачком. Фарба тонкими лініями входить одна в одну, створюючи візерунки. Ця техніка потребує швидкості, уважності, адже виправлення тут неможливі.

Свищики розписують так само, як і посуд, тільки більш дрібним і простим орнаментом.

Основні групи виробів
Димлена кераміка — випалена за спеціальною технологією (без доступу повітря), виникла як альтернатива традиціям античної кераміки, і вже на початку нашої ери мала свої осередки на території України та сучасних держав Європи. В Україні 18- 19 століттях вона успішно конкурувала із традиційною полив'яною керамікою.

Поливаний мальований посуд — горщики, глечики, миски, дзбанки, куманці, барильця — розписаний ангобами у техніці ріжкування або фляндрівки, переважно рослинним орнаментом.

Фігурний посуд — стилізовані зображення тварин: леви, барани, бики — зліплений з гончарних деталей, розписаний або оздоблений фактурним ліпним декором і кольоровими поливами.

Іграшки та дрібна скульптура — ліплені від руки, розписані у тому ж стилі, що й посуд, поливані.

To Include is To Excel: Race Matters
As part of the To Include is To Excel initiative, Associate Professor of English Jon Naito (right) and Associate Professor of Sociology and Anthropology David Schalliol (left), along with Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology and Anthropology Ryan Sheppard, developed a year-long learning community titled "Race Matters."
In the first two years of the To Include is To Excel initiative, St. Olaf College faculty and staff members have developed nearly 50 grant-funded projects to support inclusive teaching and learning. We're highlighting these projects in a new series — and we hope that hearing about this work in the words of fellow faculty and staff members will inspire you to think about how you can be part of creating a more inclusive and equitable campus community.
When the To Include is To Excel initiative launched, Associate Professor of English Jon Naito saw an opportunity to explore the creation of a year-long learning community.
The goal of the learning community, titled "Race Matters," is to provide students with an opportunity to thoughtfully integrate their study of race and other forms of structured inequality in a social sciences framework with the study of related material drawn from the worlds of art, literature, and popular culture.
Working alongside Associate Professor of Sociology and Anthropology David Schalliol and Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology and Anthropology Ryan Sheppard, the trio developed a first-year linked course sequence that joins a first-year writing course on race in the 21st century with an introduction to sociology course.
Naito shares what he learned in developing this To Include is To Excel project and what he hopes the community takes away from it:
What led you to develop this project?
The Race Matters learning community developed out of conversations with many people — students, faculty, and staff — about how we could help students develop a stronger foundation in understanding the role of race, ethnicity, and other dimensions of identity in the contemporary world. We've all heard it said many times that conversations about race are difficult, even as the contemporary world has repeatedly demonstrated that such conversations are necessary. As educators, we did what educators do: we tried to figure out a way to help our students develop the complex, intellectually informed understanding that the subject merits.
"We've all heard it said many times that conversations about race are difficult, even as the contemporary world has repeatedly demonstrated that such conversations are necessary. As educators, we did what educators do: we tried to figure out a way to help our students develop the complex, intellectually informed understanding that the subject merits."
Particularly over the past decade, faculty at St. Olaf whose teaching, scholarship, and creative work encompasses the study of race and ethnicity have been drawn together across departmental lines. The time seemed right for developing a learning community that would strengthen these bonds. In order to address this subject, it seemed logical to link a course in sociology with a course that had more of an interdisciplinary humanities focus.
We also saw benefits in focusing primarily on the 21st century. The lives of our students have been shaped by "race matters" from the start — the long shadow of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Ferguson, and contemporary debates here and abroad about immigrants and refugees. This is a very short and incomplete list. These events will continue to shape the lives of our students and the communities in which they live and work in the decades to come. And learning to appreciate the complexity of the present is a great point of entry for the cultivation of a deeper and richer understanding of the complexity of the past.
It was an absolute joy to put together the proposal for Race Matters with David Schalliol and Ryan Sheppard in the Sociology and Anthropology Department. We share a common vision for what this program can become, and we are curious to see how students will be shaped by taking part in it during such a crucial year in their academic and personal development.
What did you learn — about yourself, your students, your colleagues, the St. Olaf community — as you began working on this project?
Throughout the process of developing the Race Matters learning community, we were pleased to discover how much support there was for our efforts among students, faculty, and staff. The St. Olaf community is a large community, and it can be difficult to gauge how others outside of the small circles in which most of us travel will respond to a new idea. However, once we started seeking formal approval, many, many people came forward to express their enthusiasm about our efforts. There seemed to be a recognition that this learning community was something that St. Olaf really needed, that it was something distinct, and that it would make a difference.
What do you hope students and other members of the St. Olaf community take away from this work?
Given that Race Matters is a learning community for first-year students, we focus first on the impact on our students. On the most basic level, we want to help students develop their ability to think critically about the contemporary world, as well as develop a relatively sophisticated understanding of the opportunities and challenges involved in working with materials and methods drawn from the social sciences and the humanities. More specifically, we want students to grow in their ability to analyze racial and ethnic dimensions of power, privilege, and oppression as they intersect with multiple categories of difference such as class, gender, and sexuality. We see all of these as assets for life at St. Olaf and beyond.

We see Race Matters as one example of how the college can fulfill its commitment to not just recruit but also serve a diverse study body. We hope that others will be inspired to help fulfill it as well.
How can the St. Olaf community support your project?
First off, as a new learning community, it would be great if the St. Olaf community can help get the word out about it. We had a lot of interest among admitted students last year — in fact, we had many more applicants than we had spaces to offer. However, we want to make sure that all incoming students, and, ideally, all prospective students, know about this new opportunity and give it some thought.
We also recognize that we are still in the process of learning how to best serve our students. We know that there are many community members — students, staff, faculty, alumni, and others — who might be in a position to help Race Matters achieve its potential. Do you have a suggestion for an experience, event, or topic that we could include in the program? Do you know about internships, jobs, or other opportunities that might be a great match for Race Matters students? If so, please let us know.
Where does your work go from here?
We are just getting started. One of our big priorities is figuring out how we can involve more voices, more communities, and more experiences in the program. We want to make connections with individuals and groups throughout the region, and to grow Race Matters beyond the classroom. This is a learning community that grew out of the wider world, and we hope that it will reach back into the wider world as well.

Viva Nelson Mandela: A Hero for All Seasons : [Filmography]
ZA COM MR-F-116
Part of Filmography
Viva Nelson Mandela: A Hero for All Seasons looks back over his epic life and his status as an international icon. In his ninetieth year he still remains a man at the center of attention, not only in South Africa, but around the world as a moral leader, an elder statesman and an exceptional human being. Viva Nelson Mandela: A Hero for All Seasons takes the viewer on a journey behind the headlines and away from the public eye and looks at Mandela as a loyal friend, a dependable comrade, a trusted confidant, a respected mentor, and a man who has touched and transformed countless lives. For the first time his complete story is being told – a life of struggle, humanity, destiny and greatness is recalled and celebrated by those who knew him best and who worked with him in the quest to break the chains of oppression, taking us beyond the political and into the personal. The program features exclusive interviews with politicians, close friends and comrades of Mandela, among who are Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Oliver Tambo, George Bizos, Ahmed Kathrada, Pik Botha, Dorothy Masuka, Nthato Motlana, Cyril Ramaphosa, Helen Suzman, Zolani Mkiva, Jessie Duarte, Francois Pienaar, Sydney Kentridge, Mac Maharaj, Christo Brand and Gill Marcus.
