With a captivated audience of information professionals before him, Peter Webster (British Library) kicked off the new season of LIKE events at LIKE39. Peter had just moved to the British Library to take up his new role as Web Archiving Engagement & Liaison Officer and LIKE had just moved its meeting place to a new venue: The Castle, sister pub of The Crown Tavern. The upstairs room has state-of-the-art technical facilities and, more importantly, its own bar! And it is even closer to Farringdon Station than the Crown.
Peter is a contemporary historian and has worked with digital information in previous jobs. He now works with the UK Web Archive to raise people's awareness of it and to encourage them to submit sites to the Archive. LIKE39 provided an excellent platform for this, because attendees know about the general issues around the 'Digital Black Hole' and the ephemeral nature of the Web, but they were not all familiar with the UK Web Archive.
Archiving the web, i.e. harvesting websites based in the UK on a regular basis, is just an extension of what the BL, TNA and other participants do with print material. In the past much of what has been printed has been lost and now the same is threatening to happen with electronic material and websites. Websites either disappear completely, or are abandoned, leaving no trace of a contact, which Peter called 'orphans'. An example is the City Information Group, where the idea for LIKE was born just as CIG folded. Its site is still on the web, but the 'Contact' page is no longer available. In this case, there is a good chance that a contact can be found, but this is much more problematic in other cases.
Professionals started to see a Digital Black Hole appearing and something had to be done. In 2003 the Legal Deposit Library Act was passed, establishing an legal deposit requirement for publishers of electronic material, but this Act still has to be implemented. Fortunately the BL, TNA, and the Wellcome Trust didn't wait for that to happen and started the UK Web Archive, selection and permission-based. After ten years of setting up and establishing partnerships, it is now 'business as usual', just in time for the implementation of the LDLA, which now seems to be going forward in earnest next year. This should make redundant the current practice of asking web owners' permission to capture their site, although this would still be necessary to make the archived copy publicly available. It should also speed up ingestion of content into the Archive, by systematic crawling of the UK domain. Alongside this method curators will continue to create thematic collections by actively bringing together websites from within the larger dataset.
It is important that all professionals dealing with websites in one way or other prepare for the preservation of their site(s), as part of the life-cycle for records management. Archiving your website preserves it for future access; researchers as well as the general public will always be able to see what your site looked like in the past. Any one can nominate sites for inclusion in the UK Web Archive, using the simple online form.
LIKEnews.org.uk is being processed for the UK Web Archive and that is a good thing, because we like to think of LIKE as the first networking group for information professionals founded on and managed by using social media tools. It would be a shame if future historians would not be able to track its development from the start!

In this paper, members of committee make subjective questions and scoring tables and then a large number of applicants should solve these subjective questions via Internet or LAN. In this situation, a number of scoring panels should mark the applicant's answers by using the scoring table. When one of the scoring panels encounters the similar answer that is not the table, the answer should be sent to the committee to avoid his subjective judgment for the answer and mark the answer without favour. We have developed an information management system that enables all the scoring panels to re-evaluate the similar answer by using the new scoring table fairly.

A Class in second life: Identity and Embodiment
March 25, 2008 Daniel1 Comment
Today in my media studies course "Serious Gaming" we're meeting in Second Life for our unit on 'Identity and Embodiment.' It will take place on Vassar Island at 1:30pm EST. I'll be screencasting the whole thing, but come check it out.
Please leave a comment if you tuned in…

The Long Defeat – We're in for a sad three months of Campaigning…
Here's some selections from a must read op-ed at the NYtimes regarding Hillary's dimming prospects of winning the Dem. nomination:
Let'Äôs take a look at what she'Äôs going to put her party through for the sake of that 5 percent chance: The Democratic Party is probably going to have to endure another three months of daily sniping. For another three months, we'Äôll have the Carvilles likening the Obamaites to Judas and former generals accusing Clintonites of McCarthyism. For three months, we'Äôll have the daily round of r?©sum?© padding and sulfurous conference calls. We'Äôll have campaign aides blurting 'Äúblue dress'Äù and only-because-he'Äôs-black references as they let slip their private contempt.
For three more months (maybe more!) the campaign will proceed along in its Verdun-like pattern. There will be a steady rifle fire of character assassination from the underlings, interrupted by the occasional firestorm of artillery when the contest touches upon race, gender or patriotism. The policy debates between the two have been long exhausted, so the only way to get the public really engaged is by poking some raw national wound.
On the politico machine:
For nearly 20 years, she has been encased in the apparatus of political celebrity. Look at her schedule as first lady and ever since. Think of the thousands of staged events, the tens of thousands of times she has pretended to be delighted to see someone she doesn'Äôt know, the hundreds of thousands times she has recited empty clich?©s and exhortatory banalities, the millions of photos she has posed for in which she is supposed to appear empathetic or tough, the billions of politically opportune half-truths that have bounced around her head.
No wonder the Clinton campaign feels impersonal. It's like a machine for the production of politics. It plows ahead from event to event following its own iron logic. The only question is whether Clinton herself can step outside the apparatus long enough to turn it off and withdraw voluntarily or whether she will force the rest of her party to intervene and jam the gears.

Strange New York Times Slideshow Choices
Looks like the NYtimes slide-show department is having trouble coming up with ideas. Here we have "A history of Bullying" featuring photos of a poor kid who's been beat up since the age of 12.
Also, make sure not to miss "Physical Culture | Gear Test, Running Hats"
Here's a winner over at Reuters: Slideshow of the work of Beawiharta, of the Jakarta office of Reuters photography:

Bush says Iran (in the past tense) wants to have Nuclear Weapons to Destroy People
Here we have a classic case of Bush saying "Look at me… I still care about security, but I want to direct fear towards a certain geographic area…"
Iran Admits to Nuclear Weapon Ambitions, Bush Claims
U.S. President George W. Bush said yesterday that Iran has openly admitted an intention to develop nuclear weapons, challenging a U.S. intelligence assertion that Tehran had suspended its nuclear weapons program in 2003, the Washington Post reported (see GSN, March 20).
"They've declared they want to have a nuclear weapon to destroy people — some in the Middle East," he said.
"That's unacceptable to the United States, and it's unacceptable to the world," Bush told Radio Farda, a U.S.-funded station that broadcasts into Iran.
Iran analysts and proliferation experts quickly refuted Bush's statement.
"That's as uninformed as (U.S. Senator John) McCain's statement that Iran is training al-Qaeda. Iran has never said it wanted a nuclear weapon for any reason. It's just not true. It's a little troubling that the president and the leading Republican candidate are both so wrong about Iran," said nuclear proliferation expert Joseph Cirincione, president of the Ploughshares Fund.
But we have someone in the National Security Council to clean up the cheerios from Bush's playtime:
According to National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe, Bush's comment was intended to address past Iranian statements calling for the destruction of Israel.
"The president shorthanded his answer with regard to Iran's previously secret nuclear weapons program and their current enrichment and ballistic missile testing," he said.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Department urged caution from U.S. banks regarding potential transactions with Iranian financial institutions. "The government of Iran disguises its involvement in proliferation and terrorism activities through an array of deceptive practices," the department said in a statement.
Stay tuned, it might get ugly. I was looking for a picture of Bush to include in this post, but It made me kinda sad.

Scientists Develop 16-bit Parallel Molecular Nanoprocessor
Anirban Bandyopadhyay and Somobrata Acharya from the International Center for Young Scientists, National Institute for Materials Science in Japan, are reporting a self organizing 16-bit parallel processing molecular assembly.
A 2 inch cube of a material with this processing power would contain the processing power of the human brain.
Distinguishing Artificial From Natural Is Possible, for Now [wired]
Some researchers have speculated that it might be possible to tell the difference between natural and artificial life, if scientists added "watermarks" to their engineered DNA. In January, for instance, genome guru Craig Venter and his colleagues made news when they rebuilt a microbe's entire genome. It wasn't a carbon copy of the original, however, because the scientists also inserted small segments of DNA to spell out their names in the genetic code.

Gnod is my experiment in the field of artificial intelligence. Its a self-adapting system, living on this server and 'talking' to everyone who comes along. Gnods intention is to learn about the outer world and to learn 'understanding' its visitors. This enables gnod to share all its wisdom with you in an intuitive and efficient way. You might call it a search-engine to find things you don't know about.
It Takes a Giant Cosmos to Create Life and Mind by James N. Gardner
The Intelligent Universe proposes a third possibility: that the universe might end in intelligent life. Not life as we know it, but life that has acquired the capacity to shape the cosmos as a whole, just as life on Earth has acquired the ability to shape the land, the sea, and the atmosphere. As Princeton physicist Freeman Dyson puts it: "Mind, through the long course of biological evolution, has established itself as a moving force in our little corner of the universe. Here on this small planet, mind has infiltrated matter and has taken control. It appears to me that the tendency of mind to infiltrate and control matter is a law of nature."
Nerve-tapping Communication and Mobility
This a demonstration of a device (already in commercialization) that can decipher nerve impulses created by thought and translate them into speech. The video below is the first 'telepathic' phone call. I would expect to be shown something like this, but I just found it:
And those same voice signals have been processed into directions for a wheelchair prototype in the style of Xavier from X-men. I imagine the 'driver' thinks 'left' 'go' 'right' 'stop' — all while clasping his hands in a t-pee like Sherlock Holmes as he contemplates his next move:

Let's talk a little bit about technological potential. The brain machine interfaces scientists have been working on for perhaps three decades will soon reach the point where no computer input will ever be required. Just as voice recognition (and computer speech) has become natural and reliable, so will our 'telepathic' communication with computers become efficient and effortless. While this isn't the first instance of voice communication from brain–>machine–>audio, the fact that New Scientist has featured/sensationalized this feat on their Youtube channel means people will soon began to think of what this means.
In terms of brain input, there's also a great deal of research into creating artificial vision. A cochlear implant for the eyes (in the form of a strange tooth implant) has given blind people sight. In thirty years the "interface" between machines and people as a concept may soon be spoken of as something silly that the primitive Gen-'information age' folks toiled over.

"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union."
Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.

Q: Api Platform incorrect context response with custom operation I'm using API Platform for a project and I have a problem with the custom operation. The response of my action is not realy the output I expected. In fact, some elements of the context is not exact for my request.
Her is an example of my code
<?php

namespace App\Entity;

...

/**
 * @ORM\Table
 * @ORM\Entity
 *
 * @ApiResource(
 *     itemOperations={
 *         "list_conversation"={"method"="GET", "path"="/users/{id}/conversations", "controller"="App\Action\Conversation\ConversationByUser", "access_control"="is_granted('ROLE_ADMIN') or object == user"}
 *})
 */
class User
{
   ...
}

<?php
namespace App\Action\Conversation;

use App\Entity\User;
use App\Entity\ConversationUser;
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\RegistryInterface;

class ConversationByUser
{
    /**
     * @var RegistryInterface
     */
    protected $registry;

    /**
     * ConversationByUser constructor.
     * @param RegistryInterface $registry
     */
    public function __construct(RegistryInterface $registry)
    {
        $this->registry = $registry;
    }

    public function __invoke(string $id)
    {
        $emUser = $this->registry->getManagerForClass(User::class);

        $user = $emUser->getRepository(User::class)->findOneBy([
            'id' => $id
        ]);

        $emConversationUser = $this->registry->getManagerForClass(ConversationUser::class);

        $conversationUsers = $emConversationUser->getRepository(ConversationUser::class)->findBy([
            'user' => $user
        ]);

        $conversations = [];

        /** @var ConversationUser $conversationUser */
        foreach ($conversationUsers as $conversationUser) {
            $conversations[] = $conversationUser->getConversation();
        }

        return $conversations;
    }
}

I expect this output
    "@context": "/contexts/Conversation",
    "@id": "/users/{id}/conversations",
    "@type": "hydra:Collection",
    "hydra:member": [],
    "hydra:totalItems": 0,
    "hydra:search": {
       ...
    }

but the actual output is
    "@context": "/contexts/User",
    "@id": "/users",
    "@type": "hydra:Collection",
    "hydra:member": [],
    "hydra:totalItems": 0,
    "hydra:search": {
       ...
    }

We can see the difference with @context and @id
Thanks for your help
Ps:
I try the marv255 solution, the @context change correctly, but the @id is still false.

In a world of occult super-spies fighting all sorts of evil from every possible source, who has time to keep up with power points?! While we love the fluidity of Savage Worlds, when I went to the drawing board to come up with my wish list for Agents of Oblivion, I knew Power Points had to be jettisoned like a burned out Tesla-coil. The obvious question is why.
A lot of people grief over tracking them and (here's a confession) this is a lesser concern for me. Honestly, it's not that hard to scribble a few lines here and there. The direction I've been wanting to take the game was more into the story arena. If you've seen any of my adventures, you know I break them down by scene more than anything, and the agents need to be able to do cool stuff. Naturally, the other side of the coin, is the bad guys get to as well. So, having the powers work "by the scene" is a good happy balance in my book. The flip side is any power for a duration greater than instant is maintained from the moment it is up. Nothing is free in this world. I've also eliminated the Rank requirements for powers, so you can have a starting agent who can turn invisible and puppet people around, you just won't be that good at doing that stuff, but you can grow into it.
Why did we go in this direction? There are a number of reasons.
1. I wanted to make it play well with Realms of Cthulhu. People have expressed the desire to mix up the two milieus and I'll share a secret with you. I originally pitched Chaosium the concept of doing Agents of Oblivion for Savage Worlds using the Cthulhu license. Only after I took a step back and thought about how much more important it was to build a solid foundational rules set, did I move forward with Realms as it stands instead. Negotiating a license in many instances is not immediate, regardless of whom or what you're dealing with, so I had a lot of time to think about the direction I wanted to take the line. Ultimately, it made sense to go the direction we're going now, but I thought you might be interested in hearing about what might have been.
2. I wanted to have some kicking spytech and SUDs and I didn't want them to be a hassle to keep up with. They don't use any Power Points either (and I never planned for them to do so). So, having a mixed blend of different systems for different (what essentially amount to) powers was a definite no-no. As an aside, if I could have ditched keeping track of ammo, I would have, but that's a different discussion. One we'll have later on this week.
3. Freewheelin' occult super-spies should be all about the action, so minimizing the bookkeeping (as minimal as it might already be) made a lot of sense. You just go and do. You have other things to keep up with. How many nemesis rounds do you have? What kind of shady things are going on? Who, really, is pulling your strings? If I have my pistol disguised as a laptop, what about that sketchy guy with the valise over there? You start looking for conspiracies, you're gonna find them my friend.
I really like the idea of "scene based" effects as opposed to simulation so I applaud the way powers work in Agents of Oblivion.
I looked through AoO player's guide and I am very intrigued by the content. Will there be some sort of the mission generator? And most importantly, when can we expect AoO to be released?
Thank you very much. It works really seamlessly in play. There is a mission generator and agency generator and bad guy generator and more!
Nothing against fiddly bits here, but I adjust the system to work with the style of play. We dropped it for magic, but it's there (in spades) for loadouts, if you want it. Lots of customization is to be found within these pages.

After reading a few posts, a question sparked: How many members on the website are daily riders on their current bike or how much do they ride in a given year?
Last edited by Luxion; 01-03-2017 at 10:18 PM.
I have ridden daily at different points in my life. When I lived in Southern California, I would literally go months on end (better part of a year) without driving a car or at least using a motorcycle to get to and from work etc. Now I'm in NC and wear a shirt and tie to work daily so I'm a little hesitant to ride every day due to weather. But I wouldn't mind.
I ride to work everyday the weather permits me to. But I live literally 2 blocks away from work. I average about 2500-3000 miles a year just joyriding and hitting the local twistes.

I mostly ride when the weather is good.
I used to ride everyday but living in the city it's just too congested now. Hopefully when I retire we can move out to a more rural area so I can ride daily again.
not daily, it depends on my mood.

Let me first say I'm rooting for Coach Chamberlin. UD football is more "labor of love" than "fame and fortune". As far as I know, he has represented us well and developed hundreds of fine young men. Coach Kelly was 6-4 in '98-99, and 4-6 before retirement.
That said, Coach Chamberlin may be the first to admit this season has been disappointing. We need to win out to finish 6-5. Coach will be 61 in April. I bet Neil Sullivan has a succession plan. Was Coach at any risk after consecutive 6-5's in 2012?
An occasional Jim Harbaugh may stop by the PFL for a cup of coffee, as he did in San Diego. But it takes a special breed to be more than a stepping stone.
Here's a list of current PFL coaches -- UD stacks up well. Mike Minter (NFL) at Campbell is interesting, but they're moving up to Big South.
here's some PFL attendance figures showing UD below average -- sure wish we had an intimate, historic on-campus stadium. any word on future lacrosse shared facility?
Hiring Anthony Grant or Shauna Green is one thing, but where do you go for football candidates? Could certainly promote from within. To me, D-II/III partial or non-scholly experience makes sense. Maybe you could find a Frank Solich who's continuing at Ohio for "love of the game".

My only two-cents on the coaching subject has to do not about coaching games but recruiting. Was Kelly's record extra special because of it? His 2006 team lost a great QB for much of the time. That poor season had nothing to do about coaching.
Chamberlin had Valentino & some great receivers not to mention linebackers & D-ends for his first three years, then had trouble recovering the magic.
So if anyone questions Chamberlin to me, he best center on recruiting rather than play-calling, X's & O's, etc. We need him to recruit guys who can be PFL POW and Player of the Year (several times) and 1st Team All-PFL three years at two positions. That helps secure good records & a good history. BTW, Switzerland never ever won a Euro Bowl until they recruited ex-PFL winners which goes to show that talent can be found at the non-scholarship level.
There has repeatedly been hints of moving football back on campus to bring in more students. Well we have vball, men's women's soccer right there on campus and draw less than football at welcome.
Thanx Avid for the attendance comparison. A move to a smaller site on campus is mostly an alum thing. Would be nice but as a non-alum/student, Welcome location is fine for me. It don't look good with a small crowd. The nice little turnout that EMU had for their Thursday nite game at NIU didn't look good on TV in that big stadium either. It is what it is, less attended on Thursday, or away or not playoff time.
My complaint since 2006 has to do with atmosphere. And that's UD's fault. They lease a good stadium owned by the City Public Schools & need to clear out after a game. So portable, wheeled, motorized, etc stuff is an answer. I see some nice railing banners on the visitor side naming the college. End zone displays on trailers or air-filled or self-standing flags/banners. One might be amazed how neat Welcome could look!
BTW, for new fathers here, in 2006 the stadium had a smooooooth green carpet, a one-story white painted wood shack for press & coaches and the whole place needed painting! Not a single banner that year! Welcome has seen worse days than today.
We need the camera whether streaming or Spectrum to be on opposite side to show the UD fans, bench and not look like an empty stadium. Would cheng the perception of the game for those watching via tube or Internet.
Only reason I can see for not having camera on that side would be sun from the west. But at least have one camera the lead camera,don't need wiring as they are wireless today.
Avid got me thinking about some UD fans who don't visit here like he does since I've been around. I remember those fast typers who gave a play-by-play right here on this site because the radio was only local (not streaming) in those days. We usually had a nice crowd here & I was so slow at hunt & peck that two more plays would be run before my comment arrived!
Well, it is nice to have a few fathers here; but in this day of Social Media, one would expect the list to be longer. While I don't understand those who don't participate, I respect their decision. Sometimes I hear in later years that others read the Pride but never want to post for personal reasons.
As far as newer alums here; their absence speaks loud about the game attendance & interest shown by this college's students for football. It was so surprising to me since in the mid-fifties, at a small Div.3 school I attended, the stadium was "the place to be" on Saturday. And you should have seen the HUGE Homecoming decorations we built all night before. Ah, those were the days! Thanks for reading me.
Thanks Flyer Gramps for remembering me. I haven't posted for a couple years for various reasons. Mainly my horse in this race is in a different pasture now. Although, I have made it to at least one game a year, still know players and families, and just enjoy tailgating and catching up with people.
IMO Drake and Butler were wins I had doubted. Especially Drake at their place where we usually get our rears handed to us for some reason.
I do think it may be time for a change and listening to players from 3-5 years ago, it is still same feeling. I never will call for someones job and not doing so now. I just think a different mentality and relationship is needed for today's kids. I heard a rumor a couple years ago of promoting from within current staff. The name mentioned may work. I certainly am not in favor of because you are a "Dayton man" it gives extra credence. I think this thinking has hurt us in the past and still may be doing so. Don't want to mention specifics, but I think you can see this years offensive production is less than past. I know this may include many reasons, but philosophy always impacts the bottom line.
I'm pretty certain one coach is done. He has cut back on involvement and is likely finished. It will be a big loss because he is very well liked and respected by his players.
Not sure if this is where Flyer Gramps was going, but if so great. If not, well you awoke a dormant poster.
I am still an RC fan and in his camp. If you look back over the years you will see that the defense has been consistently good and that is his forte. The offense has come and gone largely based on the talent of the QB and the person calling the plays. When we had DW calling the plays and Valentino at QB we were humming. We had a little bit of a lull for a couple of years based more on the play calling than on the QB play (when my wife knows what play is coming next you know the other team does). Then we got a new OC who played to the strength of our QB and we were a playof team again. I think the jury is still out on the current OC. He was handicapped a bit this year with our QB getting injured before the season. I may be missing something but to me, the key for UD to continue to have success if for RC to make sure that we have a creative OC that understands the talent and uses it to our advantage and to continue to recruit trigger men who can run the offense. If we do that we will continue to be succeful. It would be great if we could bring on an OC that decides to stay for 20+ years like DW did but I doubt that is in the cards with the way coaches move around today. There is simply too much money at the higher levels of D1 football for coachaes not to chase it so we can expect that if we bring in talented assistants they are going to leave and chase bigger dollars. The key will be to continue to find the next up and coming talent coach to replace them. No head coach is going to be 100% successful in bringing in the right assitants and putting them in the righ spots (just look at Urban and Ohio State last year when they had to replace both the OC and the QB Coach) but if RC keeps that as his focus and continues to recruit players that fit the UD profile we will continue to be successful.
I am a season ticketholder who attends many away games. The Flyer Football program is special to me and I am not an alum. This program helped create a stronger bond between my dad (an alum) and I for over 20 years. Now, it is creating a stronger bond between my son and I and my daughter and I. I think my daughter loves going to football games as much as I do. She has taught her friends about football at our local high school games.
I look at the goings on here every day. I don't always post, but I can't imagine not having a Dayton Football Program or talking here about the sport at UD I love the most. It is the one time of the year I most look forward to.
My wish for the program is to keep it like it is, but move on campus and to open up the offense. We are too vanilla in what we do and it is easy to spot our next move.
I too did not attend Dayton nor did my father or my children. However a small grandson did attend and had great success. So here we are 10 years after his last game and I still follow the team although do not attend games. My wife had a stroke & then other issues for 12 days in the hospital. I missed the game at Davidson. The team & coaches signed a card and mailed it to her with "speedy recovery" wishes. I doubt if a person signing even knew her except that she was a fan.
Now that's classy people at a classy school, don't you think?
Yes Indeed Flyer Gramps... Hope recovery is going smoothly. Go Flyers!
My son and I met you @Flyer_Gramps at Campbell. We met up at Jacksonville and I hung out with the Flyer Moms who were sitting in the back of that cruddy muddy excuse for bleachers. I yelled more than most dads and they loved it. That is some good memories.
We met up at Welcome too once. Your grandson was a great Flyer and the things he did for the Flyers are stilled talked about on the radio and in the stands.
I do think next year's Flyers will be better and we still have a tough game with Valpo who is better than in recent years. I look forward to a great season next year.
Flyers Gramps, I do hope all is getting better for your wife and for you. Peace and how about a Volleyball National Championship along with some National Championships for the Men's and Women's Basketball team for your Christmas Stocking!

Anonymous donor drops coin worth $1,500 in Salvation Army kettle for 21st year in a row
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (KDVR) — For the 21 consecutive year an anonymous donor dropped a coin worth about $1,500 in a Salvation Army kettle in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The Krugerrand coin was donated Monday to a red kettle outside Hobby Lobby at 4106 S. College Ave. This marks the third year in a row in which bell ringer Robert Thompson's kettle received the coin.
"Our community continues to be blessed by this mystery donor year after year," said Lt. Lincoln Hawk, administrator and pastor of the Salvation Army in Fort Collins. "While the donor is still unknown, what is clear is the impact this person has on our Red Kettle Campaign. They exemplify the spirit of Christmas and allow us to continue providing services in Fort Collins."
Krugerrand coins were minted in South Africa. According to Monex.com, a single coin is valued at approximately $1,511.
The Salvation Army says donations in Colorado have dropped significantly this year.
"The Salvation Army in Colorado still needs to raise $600,000 to reach its goal of $2.2 million before December 24," the organization said via email.
The charity says all donations made in Colorado stay in Colorado. The funds go toward a number of services, including giving meals to families in need and providing Christmas toys for children.
"The Salvation Army is now asking for the community's help keeping those programs running so it can continue serving those less fortunate. If you see a Red Kettle, you can donate change, cash or checks. You can also donate with your smartphone at every Kettle site using Kettle Pay," the organization said.

CSA or Community Supported Agriculture is a way for you to directly support our farm. Born from the concept of farmers feeding eaters directly and a shared risk philosophy. Although CSA models exist today in all shapes and sizes, Rooted Oak Farm aims to provide a CSA to our members which provides high quality fresh certified organic produce. Memberships are paid in advance of the season in exchange for a share of our bountiful harvest.
For more information on our Harvest shares and Community Supported Agriculture program please consult our frequently asked questions by clicking the button.
All the perks of having your own garden without the legwork. Enjoy a weekly vegetable share grown with you in mind. Your share will grow starting at the end of June and will keep getting bigger (and heavier) as the season progresses.
With seasonality and a emphasis on vegetable staples Rooted Oak farm offers a diverse collection of veggies for our members giving generous and practically sized portions. As a member you have the option to customize your box each week to suit your tastes and diverse needs OR choose from our farmer's pick box and we will curate a selection of our seasonal offerings.
Young professional discount: Are you 26 years old and under and putting your money where your mouth is? Please enjoy 5% off (enter in youngpro19 at checkout). Valid on Shares over $400.

The Fall Harvest Share includes a collection of late season and storage vegetables to help get you through the winter.
This bi-weekly share is sized for house and apartment dwelling people alike and is intended to give you enough staple crops to last until the next pick-up but not so many that you'll have to take a pick axe to the basement to hollow out a root cellar.
The pick-up runs October-December and leaves you with our staple storage foods such as: Carrots, Onions, Potatoes, Parsnips, Spinach, Kale, Beets, Squash, Dried Herbs and more... As with our summer share you have to option to choose from our "farmer's pick" box or customize your own share week to week.
Choose to add-on five bouquets over the course of the season to your CSA share! Flowers are certified organic and grown right here on our farm.
We are very fortunate and excited to be able to offer beef to our members courtesy of our neighbours (literally) at Grazing Days Farm. We stand by the care, ethics, sustainability and taste of the cows raised and meat produced at Grazing Days. Their family farm raises red and black angus beef completely on grass. Using rotational mob grazing they facilitate regenerative environmental outcomes on their farm. This meat isn't just delicious it's ethical and sustainable in an industry which often isn't.
We are offering our customers the opportunity to order beef and pick it up at our CSA drops. Boxes can be ordered for a one time pick up or for every month of the vegetable CSA. To order your box select it as an add-on when registering for your vegetables above.
