An Upward Spiral: Fee Maxima Issues
Nicola Kean
Opening that nasty blue bill that the University sends you every year, you may have noticed that the figures on it have been steadily increasing. Fees at Victoria increased five percent across the board this year, and another five percent last year. Now, at an emergency University Council meeting last Monday, the University decided to apply to raise fees for Humanities, Education, Law and Architecture by ten percent in the second trimester.
Council members, and the five or so students watching, must have felt a distinct sense of déjà vu sitting in the grandiose Hunter Building Council Chambers. The same arguments and justifications were resurrected from the debate last year, which ultimately failed miserably. While the financial position of the University has certainly declined since then, there are other motives behind the application.
One of the strongest is to send a message to the Government that the current level of tertiary funding is unacceptable. And, in doing so, the most important stakeholders in the University – you – are being shafted.
The story behind the latest attempt to raise fees goes back, as these things tend to do, to the tertiary reforms of the 1990s. The picture painted by University management is that Victoria is an unwitting victim of a changing political situation. From the mid-1990s, when university fees were first introduced, to the current Labour Government freezing fees in 2000, fees were allowed to rise dramatically. But Victoria failed to raise fees as much as it could have, so when the freeze came in Vic was left in a position of disadvantage relative to other universities.
In 2003 the Government introduced the fee maxima scheme, which capped fees at a maximum level and ruled that fees could only be increased by five percent each year. Universities can be granted an exemption to the five percent limit by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC), if they can prove the financial circumstances are dire enough. It is a measure that, according to New Zealand Union of Students' Associations (NZUSA) Co-President Joey Randall, was originally set up to prevent individual courses from suffering from underpricing. Instead, he argues, universities have been attempting to cheat the system by applying for blanket exemptions.
While Vic's surplus has dropped – projected to be down to 1.6% at the end of this year, Vice-Chancellor Pat Walsh says the University is not facing serious financial trouble. "Our fees, for architecture for example, are $1000 less than at Auckland. It does not cost $1000 less to educate an architecture student in Wellington than in Auckland. The only way we can provide the kind of quality programme in architecture that we should is by finding that $1000 from somewhere else."
Currently, that somewhere else is the cash-cow commonly known as the Commerce Faculty – money from which is used to cross-subsidise other courses. While it is coping adequately with propping up the rest of the University at the moment, it is not going to be able to for eternity.
What this means for students is that, at the very least, fees will continue to rise by the maximum allowed: five per cent each year. In 2007, Victoria, Canterbury and Massey Universities were the only ones to take advantage of this.
At a fee setting meeting at the end of last year, the Council passed a resolution that the University will continue to raise fees by the maximum every year until fees are brought into line with other universities. Full stop. So there's not much point getting upset about it and baring your bum in protest, a la David Cassidy in 2005.
But perhaps what is more disturbing is the University's repeated attempts to receive an exemption to the fee maxima rules. An application made a year ago for the second trimester of 2006 was turned down by the TEC, and after last Monday another is about to be made. "What it sounds like", says VUWSA President Geoff Hayward, "is that it is the continuation of a tactic that is becoming less effective. A tactic that ultimately always screws students over."
In order to gain an exemption, an institution has to meet three criteria proving that – essentially – they're knee-high in financial shit. The cost of providing a course must not be being met by the revenue from the course; the costs of the course must not be able to be met by cross subsidisation from other courses; and finally if an exemption weren't granted then the course wouldn't be able to fulfil the educational requirements set out by the Government.
On these grounds the TEC ruled that Vic was undeserving of an exemption last year. However, on these same grounds Massey University was allowed to increase fees by 10 per cent for 2007. In the proposal to the Massey University Council at the end of last year, the Chief Operating Officer put forward similar justifications to Victoria for increased fees. Except, because of dropping student numbers and depreciation costs, Massey is facing a deficit for 2007. It also had a deficit of $1 million in 2005 – the year the University chose not to increase student fees at all. The same year, it was the only university that failed to meet the Government guideline of a three percent surplus.
But that doesn't mean an institution has to be in the red to be granted an exemption. "The institution does not necessarily have to have a financial deficit to gain an exemption", says the TEC spokesperson Moerangi Vercoe. "When the TEC assesses an application for an exemption it carefully considers whether the application addresses all three principles and whether it as a whole demonstrates exceptional circumstances which could grant a special case for exemption." Which is pretty much bureaucrat-speak for saying Vic wasn't close enough to the brink to be bailed out.
Desperate to figure out what it was that Massey had over Victoria in their application, the Vice-Chancellor made an Official Information Act request to the TEC for information. However, amusingly, Walsh says much of the documentation they received was blacked out, leaving the Council to do some further head scratching.
For Walsh, the TEC are currently interpreting the criteria too strictly. "How they interpret that criteria really is that for an organisation to receive an exemption to the fee maxima regime [it] has to have pretty much mismanaged its finances or had things happen to them to the point where it is in serious financial trouble." And serious financial trouble, as we've already seen, is not what Victoria is currently facing.
"We have considerable financial challenges", he continues. "If we had the fees revenue that other universities have, we would be in a much better financial situation." Indeed, being able to charge the level of fees that the University of Auckland does would see an revenue increase of $4.2 million. A ten per cent increase in the faculties of Humanities, Education, Law and Architecture would, theoretically at least, see an increase of $1.7 million.
But, here's the catch. An estimated eighty-five percent of students at Victoria have already enrolled and paid for their courses for the second trimester, and so can't be charged an extra ten percent. Although if the application is granted, students in 2008 will be charged 15 percent higher fees than this year, in terms of making money this year it makes the application largely redundant. A symbolic gesture to a Government repeatedly accused of under funding the tertiary sector.
It's a gesture that angers Hayward. "The proposal there again seems to be overzealous", he says. "It seems to be saying 'yes, we'll lobby the Government, but in the meantime, we'll pass the costs on to students.'" Essentially, the University – and by implication, the Government – are placing the burden of an inadequate tertiary funding system on students. While, as the Vice-Chancellor stated at the Council meeting, the the interest-free student loans scheme has somewhat dulled the effects of raising fees, the measure was merely fixing the symptoms of a larger problem. And student debt reached $9 billion last week.
The good news is that reform looks like it might be coming.
Slowly. A discussion document on the fee maxima system by the TEC is due out sometime within the next few weeks. The University Council, every time there is a fee rise, commits to doing more to lobby the Government for more money. Last year a tripartite forum of staff unions, Vice-Chancellors and the TEC was successful in gaining an extra $26 million in funding. Walsh says that they'll be pressing for a repeat this year – and more.
But where in all of this negotiating is the student representation? After all, students have the most of lose out of rising fees by being shackled with debt. Randall says NZUSA has been attempting to work with the national Vice-Chancellors Committee instead of with individual universities, contrary to Chancellor Tim Beaglehole's claim last Monday that students seemingly weren't interested in a collaborative effort.
At Victoria in particular, Hayward says that efforts to work with University management have been met with resistance. "Actually we can do a lot more together, and the only way we're going to get the government to listen to us is having strength of numbers. At the moment we're not getting that full hearted unity that we should have if we want to get change from the government." In response, Walsh says that there are too many differences in outlook for the students and the University to work together to the extent Hayward envisions.
Blame whoever you want, be it the University management, the Government, or both, but fees are going to continue to rise – unless there is wide-ranging systemic change in tertiary funding. You might as well get out your cheque books now unless students, University management and staff can all work together to lobby the Government for more money. Students can't continue to be the easy quick fix to an institution's financial woes, because students aren't the only ones who will suffer from the current fee maxima system. If we want the knowledge economy there's been so much talk about, then something has to change.

Q: JavaScript changed DOM value not working in JS function I have a link that is changing some parameters dynamically based on activities on the page. The function for replacing the values seems to be working fine and I can see in the "elements" window in the chrome developer tools that it is being updated. However, when I try to read that value from another JS function, then it is as it has not been changed at all.
I have made a very simplified example of the issue:

check data-action value
set new value

Try it here: http://jsfiddle.net/2hj3e/
First click "check data-action value" and you see the data-action parameter. Then click set new value (and you see it changes in the developer tool) and click "check data-action value" again. I would expect it to print 123, but it still prints "data/1/pageid/0/".
Could anyone help me understand this and also direct me on how to resolve this.

A: jQuery only pulls in the values from the data- attributes the first time that you call .data(). After that, it essentially caches them, so even if you update or add another data- attribute, it doesn't get reflected in calls to .data(). If you want to update the data after that initial call, then you need to use .data('action', newvalue) to set it.
Source: http://api.jquery.com/data/#data-html5

A: jQuery has some quirks with .data. If you are using .data to retrieve the value, also use it to set it.
$("#a-delete-page").data('action',newValue);

In collaboration with Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts and Blue Valley North High School, the Design Learning Network co-facilitated the fourth annual Kansas City Design Learning Challenge on Friday, February 24, 2017.
Approximately 50 high school students, alongside 25 educators and creatives gathered at our host site, the Kansas City Art Institute.
With exceptional mentoring from The Rabbit Hole, this full-day program was dedicated to storytelling and envisioning positive impact on a local makerspace. Serving as our community client, Operation Breakthrough asked us to explore, imagine, and articulate future learning experiences in their soon to be constructed Maker Village. The 18,000 sq. ft. flexible space accommodates up to 340 students ages 5-13 (grades K-8) with space to grow.
Coached by creatives from the Center for Architecture and Design alongside high school teachers and college design educators – we challenged student participants to tackle the design of the Maker Village's environment, programming, and experiences from a young student's point of view. In an immersive storytelling format, design narratives brought insightful learning experiences to life.
By the conclusion of the event, our high school students produced and presented a series of Impact Stories. These stories served as proposals for Operation Breakthrough's to consider as well as potential pathways for continued collaborations with the high school students.
The Maker Village includes several inspiring learning spaces, including a customized STEM SmartLab by Creative Systems. Using a self-directed and personalized learning approach, the SmartLab engages learners in robotics, electronics, software engineering, mechanics, and structures to the engineering design process based on each child's interests and abilities. From a young age, learners have the opportunity to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communications, and project management skills.

Stronger together: Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot plan world's No.4 carmaker
Giulio Piovaccari, Geert De Clercq
MILAN/PARIS (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler (FCHA.MI) and Peugeot owner PSA (PEUP.PA) plan to join forces in a 50-50 share merger to create the world's fourth-largest automaker, seeking scale to cope with costly new technologies and slowing global demand.
The companies said on Thursday they aimed to reach a binding deal in the coming weeks to create a $50 billion group with listings in Paris, Milan and New York. PSA's Carlos Tavares would be CEO and Fiat Chrysler's (FCA) John Elkann chairman.
It was less than five months ago that FCA abandoned merger talks with PSA's French rival Renault (RENA.PA), and the move comes as carmakers grapple with a downturn in their markets as well as hefty investments in electric and self-driving vehicles.
FCA would get access to PSA's more modern vehicle platforms, helping it to meet tough new emissions rules, while Europe-focused PSA would benefit from FCA's profitable U.S. business featuring brands such as Ram and Jeep.
However, the deal could still face close regulatory scrutiny, while governments in Rome, Paris and unions are all likely to be wary about potential job losses from a combined workforce of around 400,000.
Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois said that, adjusting for the differences in market value and planned dividend payments, achieving the 50-50 split would effectively see PSA paying a 32% premium to take control of FCA.
FCA shares jumped as much as 11% to a one-year high of 14.248 euros. PSA shares fell as much as 14% to a two-week low of 22.33 euros.
"PSA shareholders are assuming more market risk than FCA's," Houchois said, adding a PSA-FCA deal was still the most logical and attractive combination in the industry.
The tie-up would create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales, putting it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance.
The companies aim to make 3.7 billion euros ($4.1 billion) of savings without plant closures, and achieve around 80% within four years, at a one-off cost of 2.8 billion euros.

The combined group would include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, serving mass and premium passenger car markets as well as trucks and light commercial vehicles markets.
"There is still plenty of work to do before we reach a formal agreement, but what's clear is that the opportunity that represents for both companies is very compelling," said FCA Chief Executive Mike Manley.
The plan comes at a difficult time for the auto industry. Manufacturers Ford, Daimler and Volkswagen and supplier Continental have in the past months lowered their forecasts citing a steeper-than-expected drop in demand.
However, FCA bucked the trend on Thursday, beating third-quarter earnings forecasts thanks to record profitability in its North American business.

JOB FEARS
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire welcomed tie-up plan, which would give Paris a say in two of the world's top four carmakers. That contrasts with a FCA-Renault merger, which risked leaving PSA behind.
"It gives us critical size to face the dual challenges of autonomous vehicles and electric cars," Le Maire told reporters.
Paris, which has a 12% stake in PSA, was blamed for the collapse of the FCA-Renault talks by urging Renault to focus on its existing alliance with Japan's Nissan. The French government also owns 15% of Renault.
Italian industry minister Stefano Patuanelli said the deal was good news provided it didn't affect jobs in Italy.
The merged group would be domiciled in the Netherlands, but have operating centres in France, Italy and the United States, and would have an 11-person board, with six members coming from PSA including Tavares, and five from FCA including Elkann.

Analysts, who questioned whether FCA and Renault had the management expertise to deliver a mega-merger, said Tavares was the right man for the job, having returned Opel to profit after buying it from General Motors (GM) in 2017.
The former Renault executive has emerged as one of the leading figures in the auto industry following the death last year of FCA's former CEO Sergio Marchionne and the arrest of former Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn.
Marchionne long championed a merger for FCA, a cause that has been taken up by Elkann, a scion of the Agnelli family that owns a 29.2% stake in FCA and will be the largest shareholder in a combined PSA-FCA, with a 14.5% stake.
One industry source said Tavares had made savings at Opel by cutting engineering centres in Germany and consolidating activity in France. A similar move with FCA could fuel opposition in Italy.
As part of the deal, FCA would pay its shareholders a 5.5 billion euro special dividend and hand them shares in its robot-making unit Comau. PSA, meanwhile, would distribute to its investors its 46% stake in supplier Faurecia.
Citi analysts said the cash payout for FCA shareholders contrasted with the Faurecia shares, worth about 2.7 billion euros at Wednesday's close, being offered to PSA shareholders, saying the latter were "being asked to remain patient."
China's Dongfeng Motor has a 12.2% equity stake and 19.5% voting stake in PSA, and there has been speculation it might use the tie-up to sell its holdings.
One banking source told Reuters Dongfeng would be able to sell its stakes, which could help ease the deal's passage through U.S. regulators, given U.S.-Chinese trade tensions.
Stricter anti-pollution rules from 2021 have triggered heavy investments into electric and hybrid vehicles as European lawmakers force a further reduction in vehicle C02 emissions.
A combination with PSA would give FCA access to the French group's CMP modular platform, which was launched in 2019 for Peugeot's e-208 compact city car, and donated for Opel to build the Corsa-e mini.
The CMP platform was jointly developed by Dongfeng and PSA.
Strategy firm PA Consulting has forecast FCA faces 700 million euros in emissions fines unless it radically shifts to selling more electric and hybrid cars.
PSA has moved Opel and Vauxhall from nine GM platforms to just two, helping Opel to return to profit after more than a decade of losses.
FCA is being advised by Goldman Sachs and D'Angelin; PSA is working with Morgan Stanley, Mediobanca's Messier Maris & Associes unit and Perella; and Lazard is advising Exor, the Agnelli's holding company, sources close to the deal said.

The rule is that the post had to have been made this year, the subject of the post may have been gone for years or decades. These are in no particular order other than roughly the order the posts were made in.
Yeah, that's one of the most commented posts, but it wasn't from 2009..
The Lupity Shadow still makes me grin.


Quarter midget racing is a family sport with all hands on deck and requires the whole family to do their part... It's not a "drop your kid off" sport and it's not only driver and handler team work, it's also the support of family and friends working together as a whole team... There needs to be scorers in the tower, someone scaling the cars, pit steward checking safety, race director, flagger, tech director and people to run concession... Quarter Midgets of America (QMA) and United States Auto Club (USAC) are the two sanctioning bodies for quarter midgets in the country... Many people have different opinions on one from the another but both organizations have the drivers best interests in mind... The cars, rules and safety are designed specifically for kids... Different classes separate the novice drivers from the faster more experienced... All quarter midgets and drivers must have a full roll cage, 5 point harness, arm restraints, double layer fire suit and gloves and a full faced helmet and many of the drivers are equipped with a Hans Device as well... All cars must pass regular safety inspections... Speed varies from class to class but generally run up to 30 mph in novice to upward of 60 mph in senior, world formula and mod classes... All classes are required to run the same engine with novice classes running restrictor plates that slow the engine considerably... After 37 years under QMA, in 2011 the club voted to race under the sanctioning of USAC and now run the regional and national series at tracks all across the country... History was made in 2016 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway "The Brickyard" when 279 of the nations best of the best gathered for a lap around the track, breaking the record for the most race cars on the track at once.... A lifetime of memories were made that day as the kids followed the tradition and all drivers had the opportunity to "kiss the bricks"... The Pocono race gave the kids the opportunity to meet some of the fastest open wheel drivers in the world... Not all drivers can compete nationally so USAC has a regional series that families can compete closer to home for a regional championship.... Every week in QM racing, sportsmanship, team work, memories and lifetime friendships are made, it's more than just winning.... Admission is always free and our full schedule is posted on our website... You may just find the next big name in racing. after 60+ years.....We're still racing!!!!

Caring for a young child requires constant vigilance, as anyone who has raised children knows. It takes only a few seconds for them to take off on their own or get into what could be a dangerous situation.
A Willimantic, Connecticut, grandmother is facing a criminal charge after her young granddaughter was discovered walking alone several blocks away from her home without shoes on the morning of Oct. 20. Police say that the 3-year-old had been gone from the home 15 minutes when an officer discovered her about 8:30 a.m.
While the child was unharmed, police noted, "we can't have a child that far away from home without supervision. We're talking walking about two different blocks onto a busy thoroughfare here in the city."
According to police, the 47-year-old grandmother was asleep when the little girl unlocked the door and walked out. She reportedly called 911 as soon as she discovered that her granddaughter was missing.
The woman is facing a charge of risk of injury to a minor. She was released from custody on a $1,000 bond.
Friends and people in the community who were interviewed about the incident had different opinions. One family friend noted that the woman is a devoted grandmother who made a mistake that anyone could have made. Another Willimantic resident, however, said that if the child was awake, the grandmother should have been awake.
Sometimes, a moment's lapse in judgment can have tragic consequences. Fortunately, that did not happen in this case. However, criminal charges can be based on what could have happened. If you or a loved one is facing charges over an incident involving a child, be assured that Connecticut prosecutors take such charges seriously. It's essential that you have experienced legal representation to help you present your case and protect your rights.


The LED mirror light Nayra has a very flat design – its LED profile is just 0.9 cm high. The satin-finished diffuser made from high-quality plastic causes the daylight white light emitted by the LEDs to shine at an angle of 113° to perfectly illuminate the area in front of the mirror. Nayra offers bright lighting at the mirror, but can also be installed on other items of furniture, for example the wardrobe. The LED driver is included and can be hidden behind the cabinet or mirror thanks to the 35 cm long connection cable.
There is no integrated on/off switch. The light will be mains operated and require to be operated from an external wall switch.


I have been a member of the Seton Hall library faculty since 1992. My main interest is in information literacy, the research process, and the ways in which students learn how to learn. I have served as coordinator of information literacy, reference librarian, faculty senator, and member of the committee to develop a new core curriculum for the university. I have had the benefit to share in this endeavor by teaching the introductory, Journey of Transformation course. I also serve as library liaison for nursing and allied health, art, music, museum studies, and women' studies. Outside the library, my interests focus on music, dance, and theatrical performance.
This presentation focuses on on-line workshops that librarians developed to help teaching faculty infuse information fluency into their courses.

We landed home a week ago after 3 weeks on the East Coast immersed in family visiting (with a dash of friend visiting thrown in too).
I have finally finished unpacking, catching up on laundry, emails and other misc. stuff, almost finished sending out holiday cards and have caught the obligatory holiday season cold. So now I'm preparing myself to do the other kind of unpacking ~ reflecting on the trip and trying to capture the things I want to remember from my time on the road with my girl. It will probably take a few posts to do that. My emotional experience of the trip was much like my experience the first year of LP's life — individual moments went on forever but the trip as a whole seemed to fly by.
What stands out as an overall impression is it was amazing to have this concentrated time with my daughter. Away from home and our routine, I was able to watch her with fresh eyes and just enjoy the creative, spontaneous being she is…it is a pleasure to be able to say "yes!" to her growing abilities and independence and to experience her growing ability to say "yes!' in return.
I was reminded of that ability on our plane trip home. This was one of the more challenging things for me because I was so ready to be home and those last few hours flying cross-country dragged out. LP (my experienced traveler) was restless too as she began asking for "another present" and "another present"before we even took off. (The carry-on backpack is full of toys and books that only appear on the plane. There are usually one or two new goodies but mostly it is thing she's experienced before re-wrapped in tissue paper.) When the wikki sticks emerged (one of her favorites), I though I could have a break and read my book while she played but she wanted me to make her a dog with them.
Say yes to the pig-shaped dog.
The point is not for it to look like a dog. The point is that she asked me to make her something that she could use in her imaginative play. She could take it from there…and she did for longer than I would have thought possible. I got caught up in judging my artistic effort (so easy to do) and lost sight of the interaction and intention. The most realistic shaped wikki stick dog would have served the same purpose as my pig-shaped one. Perhaps different in terms of what might emerge in LP's imagination but not better or worse.
Yes. Lesson learned and relearned. Hurray for the pig-shaped dog!
LP and I are on the road visiting family on the East Coast. We're about halfway through a 3 week trip and if the quiet moment I long for ever arises, I might be able to write a reflective post about traveling solo with my girl.
Until then…just a cute kid post.
LP has invented the Chanukah cow. She opens up one of her cousins' plastic dreidels and takes it over to her imaginary cow and milks the cow's "dreidel juice" then drinks it. Her making the milking noises is delightful. I'd love to get it on video but I'm afraid filming might ruin the pure delight and engagement of the moment.
What does the Chanukah cow say?

The road network is salvation for economy of any region and social welfare. In observation of dynamicity on road networks and the sharp increase of traffic congestion, accidents, states, the road traffic management becomes more challenging research area. It is need to develop efficient and optimized road network management to prevent the traffic congestion and accidents in the present development. The aim of this paper is to provide a short and snappy review of available various optimization techniques for road network management. Also, open issues on road network optimization is discussed.

At Ninjas in Pyjamas we have been working in producing our own merchandise, it all started from the need of having items which are in line with the life style our players have.
While the comfort and style is an important factor when developing the merchandise line, quality and durability also played a huge part in the design process. After all, we're pretty much on the road all the time and having a set of clothes we can always rely on is comforting and frankly, it's a necessity.
The point is to not scream Ninjas in Pyjamas to your surroundings, but to delicately represent the NiP Family in a casual, intuitive way. You spot the clothing and if you know, you know. If not, it's just a great looking piece of clothing.

"Good boy! Nice boy, very cute and happy when with water! Ah, more ocean! Perhaps will go to see myself one day, and promise to take you to wherever you go!"
Shadowy is my daddy away from mother's land! I am so glad Silver lining and him accepted me with them...I couldn't think I could be happy after everything I saw....but--luckly--Gwenan Minstral saved me and--I could meet my new mom and daddy in this island!

I see...you do care so much, I am reminded of someone from long ago... Here, why don't you try this. Good? ...You like salty candy what. Uh, okay, this one? ...Hm, okay saltwater taffy definitely. I usually only make salty candy to mess with people but with you... Well, why not?"
"So nice and sweet, both are! And she...scared of me? But...why? And how? Ah, my past, do not remember? Or do? I...ah...help..."
"...You can't even speak properly. ...I feel sick, you look 19...agh... Okay, calm, calm down. Ugh, why...? Anyway, uh...wanna try this? ...You hate sweet stuff? ...What about the uh...gross stuff? ...PFFFT. I LOVE YOUR TASTEBUDS HAHAHAHAHA. Well, here, take these and go eat! ...Well that cheered me up, pffft."
"Ah, strange. Lavender, you...what? A girl? ...Hm. Nan...well, we'll see? Dunno what happened...Lavender, you're scared...okay...?"
I saw---A white drop around...He's Queen's assistant.....He's a little weird but..really innocent too...maybe he can't hurt neither a monster like me...it's rare.
"Mm? Love, Brotherly, they seem to know. So confused...also messing with him. Stop! Bad! Naughty, so naughty, stop! Ugh, stop, bad, stop."
Another butler but he's really different from Arc. Oh thank god! Please help me with the twins!!! Love I understand but BROTHERLY?! ---seriously?...You are too confident!!

This is the XYZ Reader(P5) project under Udacity Android Nanodegree Program

## Project Overview
---------------
In this project, you will redesign an app to follow the Material Design guidelines and translate a set of static design mocks to a living and breathing app.

## Getting Started
---------------
This sample uses the Gradle build system.  To build this project, use the
"gradlew build" command or use "Import Project" in Android Studio.

## Why this Project?
-----------------
This project gives you an opportunity to improve an app's design, a vital skill for building apps users will love. It also replicates a common developer task of updating and changing an app's design as new standards are released.

## What Will I Learn?
--------------------
Through this project, student will:
* Understand the fundamentals of Android design.
* Apply Material Design guidelines to an mobile application.
* Separate an interface into surfaces.
* Effectively use transitions and motion.

## User Feedback for XYZ Reader:
-----------------------------------
* This app is starting to shape up but it feels a bit off in quite a few places. I can't put finger on it but it feels odd.
* Is the text supposed to be so wonky and unreadable? It is not accessible to those of us without perfect vision.
* The color scheme is really sad and I shouldn't feel sad.

## Rubric
----------
### Required Behavior
* App uses the Design Support library and its provided widget types (FloatingActionButton, AppBarLayout, SnackBar, etc).
* App uses CoordinatorLayout for the main Activity.
* App theme extends from AppCompat.
* App uses an AppBar and associated Toolbars.
* App provides a Floating Action Button for the most common action(s).
* App properly specifies elevations for app bars, FABs, and other elements specified in the Material Design specification.
* App has a consistent color theme defined in styles.xml. Color theme does not impact usability of the app.
* App provides sufficient space between text and surrounding elements.
* App uses images that are high quality, specific, and full bleed.
* App uses fonts that are either the Android defaults, are complementary, and aren't otherwise distracting.
* App conforms to common standards found in the Android Nanodegree General Project Guidelines.

I wanted to share with you a project from one of my readers who shares with us how to make leaf skeletons. I LOVE this! I have several leafs in various forms displayed in my home and knew I needed to make some of her leaf skeletons to add to my decor. I love how a pattern of leaves can enhance the beauty in your home. So I asked Heather if she would mind sharing her project with you. You can find more great projects from Heather at her blog The Other White House.
I have spent hours and tried various ways of making these. Kailey did these last year in her botany class with our homeschool group. I found her page of tiny skeletons and thought these would make a great addition to fall. I'll Mod Podge them to something I'm sure, but for now they are in between two panes of glass in a frame on the mantle. Anyway~ this 'recipe' is the only one out of a million that have worked!
You need washing soda, not baking soda! Very important! I found it at Harris Teeter and can also be found in some Wal-Marts.
Gather your leaves. Waxy leaves work best like Gardenia, Magnolia, Hydrangea, etc. I grabbed Gardenia and maple leaves, straight off the tree/ plant. Place them in a pot large enough to accomodate the amount you want to skeletonize.
Washing soda is a strong base so you may want to wear gloves when handling the leaves.
You will add 3/4 cup of washing soda and 4 cups of water to your pot of leaves. When the water comes to a boil reduce and simmer the suckers. I left mine for an hour and forty five minutes. After 40 minutes it begins to look really ugly..
Keep going, you will need to add more water so your pan doesn't dry out. I added enough to cover the leaves. The washing soda will crystallize on top.
When 1.75 hours are up fill a glass baking dish with cool water. Gently remove your leaves from the pot. I used a blunt spatula. Place leaves in shallow baking dish with cool water and use a small blunt brush to remove the remaining pulp. I pounced on them gently.
I carefully removed them and rinsed with water and added clean water to the pan. With the spatula I removed the leaves to dry on a paper towel.
I have a maple leaf which turned out not so well. We shall see when it dries. You could add these anywhere, I'm thinking a hurricane, hmm.. These will last depending on how you preserve them. You can spray paint them, coat them with a clear poly and even bleach them. I plan to bleach the next batch.
that is VERY cool! who knew?!
What?!!! That is sooooo amazing. I love this. Who would have thought!
What if the leaves are already changing? Do you think they would still work?
Wow! Those turned out so pretty.
I LOVE this! They're beautiful!
This is SO COOL. I never would have guessed something so pretty could be so simple.
Very unique. I had no idea you could do such a thing! I love how you framed them in between glass!
Holy heck I love this. I am totally making them. I think I might have all the supplies on hand already.
That is so amazing! Thank you for sharing!
This is a completely awesome idea!! Love it – thanks for doing all the hard work to figure it out!
Heather, you just saved me SO much money! I was planning on buying these for a big project, and can't thank you enough!
featured these today on my blog.
Has anyone really tried this? i have been cooking leaves and wasting my gas all day trying to make these.
I used the washing soda, and cooked it for 2 hours.
i have have is crusty base that foamed and, and added more water the whole time. after 2 hours i tried another sites idea and that didnt work also.
This recipe did not work for me at first. HOWEVER, I remembered from biology that sometimes waxy leaves have an outer coating to help keep in moisture, which was further supported by the fact that my leaves filled up with the liquid in which they were being boiled. By removing a section of the leaf's edge, I found that the leaf had three layers, a top membrane, a bottom membrane, and the middle skeleton and surrounding pulp. Once the top and bottom membrane were scraped off very gently with my fingernail, the pupl could be washed off of the skeleton by softly rubbing it off with my thumb. It was extremely tedious, and easy to mess up, but it got me the skeletons in the end. Hope that helps some.
The recipe is converted from teaspoons to cups. It's the same recipe. You can add more soda, as you add more water so your pot doesn't dry out. Also, what type of leaves are you using? I tried maple and they did not work nearly as well as the gardenia leaves. It's hard to see from your comment where the trouble might be. I have made a number of batches and it is time consuming.
Have you experimented with bleach alone, or as a followup to remove more?
The bleach would probably work if you left the leaves alone long enough. The pH is roughly the same as the washing soda. I did try it, but I'm not that patient. The boiling helps to speed everything along. You need to break down the pulp. I did bleach a few in the end, to make them white. You could possibly take a scrubby sponge to the leaves and then try to soak them.
Again, gardenia and magnolia have worked for me.
I've always wondered how to do this, thanks so much for the tutorial.
Really interesting to learn how to do this – the photos helped too.
I love this idea and always wondered how to do it. Any ideas on how to use the finished product other then just framing them?
These are wonderful! I get really excited seeing your final product because I can only imagine how much something that simple would cost at retail price. Thanks!
Awsome… This will make some great inexpensive christmas presents…. thanks soo much for sharing.
This has to be the coolest craft that I've seen yet. We're looking for decorating ideas for a wedding and a new home. This could well work for both. I can't wait to try it out.
This is an amazing trick – I can't wait to try it!
Who would ever think to do something so artistic!!!
I bet Cannabis leaves would look awesome as skeletons.
That is such a great tutorial! I wonder if you could use marijuana leaves? I think it would give an awesome effect!
The skeletonized leaves work great in printmaking. They can be used in collographs (glued down with Golden Medium), inked and printed. They can also be directly rolled with ink, laid on paper and run through a press. If the veins are thick enough you can get a good embossment too.
Carol, thanks for the note about printmaking. I LOVE printmaking and this would be a great way to embed an object into my work.
Have you tried this with montotypes?
Does this work with flowers by chance???
Hi! I am interested in trying this craft and I think yours turned out so pretty! But I was confused on your final project. How did you get them in the picture frame and on the vase? It's probably a stupid question but I reread your tutorial and still couldn't find out how to get them to stick to them. Sorry if you already answered this question before.
Great idea! I'm not surprised that washing powder does such a good job as I also use strong solutions of the same to clean old motorcycle parts via a process known as electrolysis.
How did you get them to stick to the vase?
Long lived leaves work best. I've done this very slowly by just soaking the leaves in water and changing the water every other day… Requires patience, but come out really, really clean, with out any danger. If you walk down Janpath(New Delhi, India) you'll find several shops selling miniature paintings on the leaves.
Thanks for the tips. That sounds amazing! Would love to see that.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I might try it with some eucalyptus leaves and other Australian natives. Leaves are such beautiful things and this just adds to what we can use them for.
I loved this idea SO much, I ran out and got everything needed, and decided to use magnolia leaves. Well, long story short, my leaves are STILL simmering after 2 !/2 hours and look no different (ok, maybe soggier) than when I started, no pulp even appears to be coming off ! Help ! What am I doing wrong ?????
you can also pick leaves and put them between two tissue sheets and keep them in a fat book for a month or perhaps less. mine turn out the same as this method!
I have a question on how to preserve them. Do you just paint the bleach on?
What a great idea. It's winter now but I will try next summer.
I want to know about the bleach too! Anyone tried this with pool chemicals? I had put washing soda (soda ash) in my above ground large kiddo pool so it didn't get funky. I don't have the pool and am stuck with a ton of pool chemicals. I had read online I could use soda ash instead of pool shock. Just wondering.
Also be really really careful when pouring the washing soda. It's sodium carbonate. It's used to open the fibers of celluloids and is very caustic. Wear glasses and cover your face with a mask or cloth. Never pour around children or pets and clean up all powder with water. You don't want this stuff floating around your house, let alone your kitchen. you can also get 1lb of soda ash for less than $3 at the art material supplier dickblick.com. I have some I bought there for tie-dye with my students.
Thanks for the awesome project idea! I've always wanted to know how these are made!
I'd say this is a science project that has gone very right. thank you for sharing.
Michael Sage airbushes leaves white and jewel tones and mounts them in shadow boxes. Visit phantomleaves.com for inspiration.
Got to try this. Thank you so much for sharing.
If you can't find washing soda you can use PHup. It is for pools and goes on sale really cheap at the end of the season. I use it for fiber reactive dying. I am going to have a go at this in the summer when I can cook it outside.
I've never heard of this. What a fantastic idea.
Those are really pretty. That is a great idea. Thanks for a wonderful tutorial.
The leaves are gorgeous and the directions were great.
This is pretty darned cool and I like the idea of just leaving them pressed and framed between two pieces of glass. Simple and elegant.
This is awesome. And beautiful. Thanks!!
Okay, I'm a newbie. What is washing soda and where does one buy this stuff?
After an hour boiling at a lower heat, my water looks brown-green and my leaves are much darker… but the 'flesh' doesn't come off.
WOW! You have our attention!
This is amazing! would this work with any kind of leaves? Im planning to use them on maple and banana leaves.
I just love it, thanks!!!
This seems brilliantly simple. I'll have to do it this fall.
Hi : ) I'm going to try this way. From a YouTube video (that only partially worked) it said to add 3 TBLSP of the Washing soda to 2 cups water.. Boil 20 mins and wah-la ….. that was soo bogus !!! I was all over the place looked for Washing Soda. First place I checked was Wal-mart.. they were out, then went to K-mart almost 5 bucks a box ( for 3 tblsp?) so I passed, checked grocery stores , they too were a tad on the pricey side when it said I only needed 3 tblsp. FINALLY went back to wal-mart and they had some in stock so I grabbed a box as shown above in the process steps. But back to the first way, I then proceeded to do the 3 tblsp to 2 cups water. and boiled and simmered and nothing.SO I thought maybe i Had too many leaves so tried doing one at a time ..STILL NOTHING…..I then put them in a dish pan ( 97Cents at wal-mart) covered the leaves with water, added a little bleach as it stated to do so the water wouldn't go rancid and they have been sitting in my kitchen and on the porch back and forth for over a week now…..I still can't get the leaves to skeletonize ( is that a word?) I used Fruitless mulberry leaves. I will say that 3 of them have turned snow white but that's as far as they are going. I have tried to gently brush them thru the week and nothing comes off .. The green of the leaves aremottled however Seems they are tearing just sitting in the bleach water (which I have changed out, adding fresh water and bleach) Hope the above works because I have big plans for these ( BEFORE Xmas !!) : ) BTW Thank you for sharing your process. Wish me luck !
Found this on pinterest…very cool!
Beautiful … but nothing for me that has not one gr of patience in me. Would love one of those on my bedside table.
Thank goodness I am not the only one that struck out with this DIY project. I picked hydrangea leaves as suggested and put some maple leaves in just for good measure. Nothing happened except I now have a dedicated DIY pot.
I pitched the lot and tried again. This time the only thing that happened was the pin oak leaf was transparent, but I had to put it in bleach to get things moving. This is after 2-3 hours in that solution too.
I have to ask why the emphasis on keeping the leaves at the bottom of the pot? Basic physics proves that is an impossible feat.
Also, I have no idea what kind of instrument one could use to burnish the pulpy parts. I tried 3 different stiff brushes and none of them worked. I wanted to make them myself for a piece I am working on to sell on etsy. However this seems to have been inspired by Martha Stewart's cruel cruel staff managers. I'll either try putting the leaves between paper in one of my many fat books, or buy them gilded at hobby lobby.
This really tried my patience. Can you tell?
I'm simmering leaves now. I chose to do this outside for fear of toxic fumes. Any worries about this?
Awesome work! It is tender and unique!
This defenitely can give so many ideas how to create more new beautiful things.
Super cool! Can't wait to give it a go!
The look very pretty indeed.
Ohhh I love youu!!! I am so trying this!
I am trying this now with a huge elephant ear leaf. So far upon putting it into the pot some of the leaf flesh + veins in between the huge stem like veins came right on out.. I hope it all doesn't do that.
I don't know where you're located when you skeletonized magnolia leaves, but Arkansas magnolias must be made of stronger stuff than yours. I have boiled the darned things for over 7 hours and they are not skeletons yet! After all the strong testimonials I thought it would be a breeze, but it hasn't turned out that way. And, yes, I used Arm and Hammer Superwash. I was going to demonstrate ways to use them at a craft program next month, but scratch that!!!
Great DIY post! Love that it is so simple. I can so do this tonight! Thank you so much for sharing!
This is so pretty, gosh I wish I was crafty, so much that I could do. I still have a bunch of things that I would love to do. I can live in hope I suppose.
by chance, and I'm surprised why this accident did not happened in advance!
No way! I was just looking at buying some for my kids nature table. More fun to make our own! Thank you!
This is such an awesome idea. I can't wait to try it! Thanks for providing the steps.
I even used leaves with different thickness.
wow, it was just what I was looking for, thanks!
Adorei esse trabalho, vou tentar fazer. Obrigada!
Thnx for sharing such a good idea.
On my highschool days we use guavano leaves And use detergent soap..
That sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip.
I like the pink ones in the intro…how did u do that. What kind of paint should be used?
Thanks for your help. I was really looking forward to learn this method.

Q: Zoom in/out limits on AS3 for iOS programming I'm having a trouble with my code. I've made the basic zoom with AS3, using the two fingers to zoom it. But I have a trouble;
I need the zoom in stop in 2 for example (the normal size is 1), and then, I need to zoom out max to 1. Here is my code, but if I zoom fast, the zoom goes more than 2.
I need to limit the zoom, between 1, and 2.
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.GESTURE;

escenario.addEventListener(TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_PAN, fl_PanHandler);

stage.addEventListener(TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_ZOOM, fl_ZoomHandler);

function fl_PanHandler(event:TransformGestureEvent):void
{

    event.currentTarget.x +=  event.offsetX;
    event.currentTarget.y +=  event.offsetY;

}

function fl_ZoomHandler(event:TransformGestureEvent):void
{

    if (event.scaleX && event.scaleY >= 1 && escenario.scaleX && escenario.scaleY <= 2)
    {

        escenario.scaleX *=  event.scaleX;
        escenario.scaleY *=  event.scaleY;
        trace(escenario.scaleX);

    }

}

A: Since you're doing a times/equals (*=) your value can easily go above the threshold of 2 in your if statement since you are multiplying that value after the if statement.  You could just do this:
function fl_ZoomHandler(event:TransformGestureEvent):void {
    var scale:Number = escenario.scaleX * event.scaleX; //the proposed new scale amount

    //you set both the scaleX and scaleY in one like below:
    escenario.scaleY = escenario.scaleX = Math.min(Math.max(1,scale), 2);

    //^^^^  inside the line above,
       //Math.max(1, scale) will return whatever is bigger, 1 or the proposed new scale.
       //Then Math.min(..., 2) will then take whatever is smaller, 2 or the result of the previous Math.max

    trace(escenario.scaleX);
}

Guns N' Roses Master Tapes Lost In FIre!
Universal Music Apparently Lost Some or All of Guns N' Roses Master Tapes in a Fire
In 2008, Universal Studios Hollywood suffered a catastrophic fire that destroyed the theme park's, "King Kong" attraction. At the time, studio officials played down the event saying a video vault was also affected in the fire, but that it wasn't a big deal.
A report from The New York Times has unveiled how the record label allegedly misled the media and public. The Times stated
The fire started in the early hours of June 1, 2008.
Overnight, maintenance workers had used blowtorches to repair the roof of a building on the set of New England Street, a group of colonial-style buildings used in scenes for movies and television shows. The workers followed protocol and waited for the shingles they worked on to cool, but the fire broke out soon after they left, just before 5 a.m.
The flames eventually reached Building 6197, known as the video vault, which housed videotapes, film reels and, crucially, a library of master sound recordings owned by Universal Music Group.
The report goes on to say that "almost all" of the master recordings were lost in the fire, with an internal Universal Music report stating about 500,000 song titles were forever destroyed.
According to The New York Times some of the artists' recordings affected by the fire include, but are not limited to, Ray Charles, B.B. King, the Four Tops, Joan Baez, Neil Diamond, Sonny and Cher, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Al Green, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, the Eagles, Aerosmith, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Barry White, Patti LaBelle, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Police, Sting, Steve Earle, R.E.M., Janet Jackson, Guns N' Roses, Mary J. Blige, No Doubt, Nine Inch Nails, Snoop Dogg, Nirvana, Beck, Sheryl Crow, Tupac Shakur, Eminem, 50 Cent and the Roots. It's not clear which recordings from those artists were lost and/or damaged.
The master recordings are what all future releases are dubbed off of, whether digital or physical. Source material has now been lost to some of the last century's greatest artists. It is the purest recording of a song.
According to the report, the scale of the loss was uncovered after looking through a series of litigation and company documents obtained by The New York Times.
