First New Horizons paper reveals 'fascinating' Pluto
Subscribe for News Feed
Pluto is a "fascinating" world with a diverse range of land forms such as smooth plains, ice mountains and blade-like ridges, according to the first research paper from a flyby of the dwarf planet in July.
The US space agency NASA's New Horizons spacecraft reached a distance of 12,500 km from Pluto's surface during its July 14 closest approach, gathering so much data it will take almost another year to return to Earth.
Colour images returned so far revealed a wide range of colours across Pluto's surface, ranging from dark, red regions at the equator to brighter, bluer regions at higher latitudes.
A heart-shaped region interrupts this pattern by displaying different colours in its western and eastern lobes.
Scientists suspected that the heart's smooth, bright western lobe contains methane ice and carbon monoxide ice, while the dark red equatorial regions contain very little volatile ice.
"We knew Pluto's surface was heterogeneous based on ground-based data," University of Maryland astronomer Silvia Protopapa, who helped map the composition of Pluto's surface and locate ices on it, said in a statement.
"However, I was astonished to see such spectacular surface colour and geological diversity."
The data returned also showed a surprisingly wide variety of landforms on Pluto, including bladelike ridges standing hundreds of meters tall that form rippled, scaly patterns.
Another surprising finding is that a cluster of mountains on the edge of the smoothest part of Pluto's heart may in fact be icebergs — chunks of water ice crust floating in a deep pool of frozen nitrogen.
The smoothest part of Pluto's heart, called Sputnik Planum, is also of interest. Scientists said the lack of impact craters in the region suggests the surface is at most 100 million years old.
The paper also said the dwarf planet's radius, at 1,187 km, is smaller than previous measurements, which makes Pluto's density higher and closer to that of its largest moon, Charon.
The study, which was published on Thursday in the US journal Science, also discovered evidence for a water-ice rich crust, multiple haze layers above the surface in Pluto's atmosphere, and that Pluto is a bit more ice rich than expected.
"The Pluto system surprised us in many ways, most notably teaching us that small planets can remain active billions of years after their formation," said mission principal investigator Alan Stern, with the Southwest Research Institute.
"We were also taught important lessons by the degree of geological complexity" that Pluto displays, Stern added.

From the Evangelical Theological Society's Eastern Region Meeting, held March 2, 2012 at Lancaster Theological Seminary (555 West James Street, Lancaster, PA 17603).
The keynote speaker was Dr. Peter J. Leithart (Ph.D., University of Cambridge). Dr. Leithart is a senior fellow at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho, and pastor of Trinity Reformed Church. Leithart has written numerous articles for publications such as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, First Things, Modern Theology, Journal of Biblical Literature and The Westminster Theological Journal, and he serves as a contributing editor to Touchstone magazine. He is the author of several books, including Deep Exegesis: The Mystery of Reading Scripture, Solomon Among the Postmoderns and 1 & 2 Kings in the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible.
The theme of our meeting, Constantine and Christendom, is taken from Dr. Leithart's book, Defending Constantine: The Twilight of an Empire and the Dawn of Christendom (IVP Academic, 2010). Our conference seeks to engage various perspectives relating to the origins and historical developments following the "legalization of Christianity" and the development of Christian civilization.


Here is my submission for Impression Obsession's "Blue" challenge. With Valentine's day approaching my craft room has been covered in red, pink and white; this challenge was a welcome change. I have several Impression Obsession stamps and dies which made this card easy and fun to design. I used a BoBunny dot tone on tone for the background and banner; a small floral print was edged using Impression Obsession Border Duo 1 die. One of the dies from Impression Obsession's Flags die set was stamped with a special delivery stamp from Impression Obsession's Going Postal clear stamp set. Using the same stamp set, I stamped the envelope outline, the sentiments were stamped using Impression Obsession's Warm Fuzzies clear stamp set. The little heart on the postage stamp is from the Impression Obsession Heart of Hearts die, I knew I was saving all those little heart cut outs for a reason. The card was finished with a heart shaped button tied with bakers twine.
Great card! Love how you used the going postal set, I have been wondering if I would like that set! And I love how you embellished the ribbon with the diecut and button too. Thanks for sharing.Katie B.

A linkkampány vagy linképítés a keresőoptimalizálás egyik fontos kelléke. A többi eszközhöz hasonlóan célja, hogy a weboldal minél előbbi helyen jelenjen meg a keresőmotorok találatai között. Minden egyes link, ami az oldalra mutat, plusz találat. Összességében pedig az kerül legelőrébb, akinek a legtöbb találata van.

Linktípusok

Szerkesztőségi link
A szerkesztőségi linkek azok a linkek, aminek a beajánlásához, terjesztéséhez nem szükséges fizetni. Általánosságban mindenki tudja, hogy miért vannak ezek az oldalak, mi a céljuk. Ezeknek az oldalaknak az a feladata, hogy az adott témában összegyűjtsék a különféle honlapok linkjeit, és egy helyen tegyék közzé.

Szöveges link

Amikor valamilyen szövegre vagy szóra kattintva kerül a felhasználó az adott szóval kapcsolatos honlapra. Ilyenkor derül ki, hogy mi a témája az oldalnak.

Follow link

Egy olyan link, mely a keresőrobotokat arra utasítja, hogy keressenek tovább azon a linken keresztül. Vannak azonban olyan linkek is, amelyek pont az ellenkezőjére utasítják a robotot.

Keresőrobot

A keresőrobot (angol szövegkörnyezetben: web crawler) egy informatikai kifejezés. Olyan speciális programok gyűjtőneve, amelyek képesek az interneten fellelhető publikus, illetve a robots.txt és a robots metatag által engedélyezett tartalmak letöltésére, és ezek valamilyen formában való elemzésére, az adatok eltárolására. A keresőrobotokat legtöbbször keresőoldalak használják arra a célra, hogy a felkutatott és indexelt weboldalak linkjeit a saját oldalukon kereshetővé tegyék.

Csoportosítás irányuk szerint

Külső linkek

Azok a linkek, amelyek az adott oldalról egy külső másik oldalra irányítanak. Ezeknek a linkeknek az veszélye, hogy így elhagyják az oldalt, azonban azért szokták használni, mivel így megbízhatóbbá válik az oldalon található információ, ezzel együtt pedig maga az oldal is. Ugyanakkor azok a linkek is külső linkek, amik a saját oldalra segítenek elnavigálni.

Belső link

Azok a linkek, amik a saját oldalon belül hivatkoznak (mutatnak) valamire.

Page Rank

A PageRank az informatikában egy olyan algoritmus, amely hiperlinkekkel összekötött dokumentumokhoz számokat rendel azoknak a hiperlink-hálózatban betöltött szerepe alapján. Azonban nem mindegy, hogy milyen honlapokról mutatnak linkek a weboldalra. Egy adott oldal Page Rankje segít eldönteni, hogy érdemes-e azon linket elhelyezni vagy sem. A Page Rank gyakorlatilag egy osztályzat, amit a Google ad, és azt fejezi ki, hogy mennyire tartalmas, értékes az adott webhely. Itt is érvényes a régi megállapítás, hogy mennyiség helyett a minőség a lényeg. A magas Page Rank értékű oldalakról mutató linkek így értékesebbek, de alapvetően csak akkor javítják jelentősen az oldal pozícióját, ha a téma is összevág. A rossz minőségű vagy a Google által veszélyes oldalakról érkező linkek tovább ronthatják a keresőmotorokban való megjelenés esélyét.

Beajánlás

Linkkampánynál egy másik módszer, hogy megkeresnek weboldalakat, weboldal-tulajdonosokat vagy üzemeltetőket, és arra kérik őket, hogy írjanak és jelentessenek meg a szövegben egy-két, az oldalra mutató linket. A tartalomgyártásban élen járó blogoknak és online médiatermékeknek folyamatosan újabb és újabb tartalmakra van szüksége, különösen akkor, ha azok aktuális témák és minőségi szövegek.

Slide Show: 10 Adventist status symbols
By SDuhA May 11, 2014	 Bibles, bling, cars, elders, shoes, watches
Adventists are called to be sober, humble, meek, all while wearing little to no makeup or jewelry. But that doesn't mean they don't have their own ways of letting you know what's what or who's who.

Actually, a Bible that is not highlighted at all because you've got four or more books memorized. That's my status symbol.

You quote the SDA urban legends: ". . . jewelry of any kind [is] out . . . But the watch—now that's practical." And while a brooch "is technically a piece of jewelry, it doesn't pierce the skin, hence its acceptability." The folly of these legends is revealed at GodLovesJewelry.com . We don't need to make silly loopholes to get around alleged church standards. Jewelry is jewelry, whether it touches the skin or not. Of course too much of a good thing can look gaudy or silly; but in moderation, the Bible says He actually likes it.

I grew up a conference kid..went to the schools etc…went to church when I was 30 with tattoos…church people were shocked…I am now 48 with harley tats..frog down the side of my neck..hair alot of times red with black underneath…didn't step foot in a adventist church since 1996…now live next to smu and go to my dad's church..wear my necklace from my kids….never once been criticized for tats etc..wedding rings got approved in 1989…til then a newly engaged woman was given a watch instead of a ring which she wore on her right wrist..when married it went on her left wrist. The only thing that shocked me when I went to another church is folks were outside smoking…even tho more relaxed myself and yes smoke…I am still stuck with this is the lords house and would never think of smoking there…also trying to get use to being able to wear pants to church…the church has relaxed more these later yrs than they use to be…

Q: Hangman string char StringBuilder I'm doing a raw hangman text game as a speedy coding exercise. Right now, my blanks should turn into correctly-chosen letters, while leaving underscores as placeholders for other letters, but instead, all of my blanks are being converted to the currently-selected, correct letter. Eg, if my word (wordDisp) is 'bag' and I guess 'a', all my blanks turn to 'a'; instead of the desired output of '_ a _'.
using System;
using System.Text;

class Hang {
  public static string blanks = "_";
  public static string hangParts = "_____,|___|,  |  ,  O  , /|\\ , / \\ ";
  public static int tries = 0;
  public static void PrintHang(){
    Console.WriteLine("What's your word? ");
    string wordDisp = Console.ReadLine();
    char[] charDisp = wordDisp.ToCharArray();
    string stringDisp = charDisp.ToString();
    StringBuilder temp = new StringBuilder();
    for(var i=0; i<charDisp.Length;i++){
       temp.Append(blanks);
    }
    Console.WriteLine(charDisp.Length);
    Console.WriteLine(temp);

    while(tries < 6){

      for(var s=0;tries<6; s++){
        Console.WriteLine("What's your letter? ");
        var pick = Console.ReadLine();
        if(charDisp[s].ToString().Contains(pick)){
          temp.Replace(temp[s],Convert.ToChar(pick));
          Console.WriteLine(temp);
        }
        else{
          tries++;
          Console.WriteLine(hangParts[s]);
        }
      }
    }

  }

}

class Prog{
  public static void Main(){
    Hang.PrintHang();
  }
}

A: The problem is temp.Replace(temp[s],Convert.ToChar(pick))  you're replacing underscore with 1st char of string from Console.ReadLine() but temp starts with all chars as underscore.   So every letter is set to 1st letter of your input.
You'll need to map the index position of each letter in the target string in some way.  You'll also need to account for the input string having multiple letters that are the same "hello" for example with 2 'l'.
Then you can replace your underscore with the correct letter based on the index in the target string.
Couple other things...
You probably don't need the char array.  You can do the contains directly with the string wordDisp.Contains(pick).
Also you've got an error in how you're using "tries".  You should take out the "for" loop and just exit after a certain number of "misses".  You also need to account for the user having successfully matched all the letters - print something to let them know they matched it and then exit.

How can looking back deepen our trust in God for the future? An often-overlooked passage from Matthew's Gospel provides an answer.
In this "hurried life," how can we find more time with God? And how can we go deeper with God this Advent season when shopping, parties, and Christmas events get added to an already packed schedule?
The Bible refers to death as a great enemy. In American culture, there are two ways we usually deal with death: denial and despair. But Scripture offers a different way.
I love being the center of attention. However, when I think my life is about me, I limit my ability to see the life God has called me to and I stop myself from having the courage to follow him on an amazing adventure.
As we stare down the arrival of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I wonder what it would look like for us to cultivate excitement about what we can give rather than expectation of what we'll receive.
Sometimes God displaces us and sometimes we choose displacement to survive, thrive, or walk in obedience to God. However we end up being displaced, whether through persecution, a natural disaster, or by choice, such as taking a specific job, God uses displacement to shape us and draw us closer to him.
What we are called says something about our identity and our purpose.
Now more than ever, there is a prophetic call on our lives as children of the Creator God to be set apart from the ways technology can turn art into an idol. I am not advocating that we as Christians walk away from the art of this world. But I do have some suggestions for how we can live responsibly into this call.
Lately, I've been struggling a great deal with feelings of disappointment with Jesus. I'm not entirely sure when they started, but I can see the impact they've had: I start to distance myself from Jesus. I shy away from taking risks for the sake of God's kingdom. I sink into my couch.
What Difference Does Prayer Make in the World?
Do I really believe that change would come if I stopped my "actions" and "just" prayed for reconciliation and justice and provision for those in need? And do I really believe, when I am working for justice, that it's actually God who brings about the change, and not me? Most of the time, I'm not sure I do.

Disk-shaped UFO seen by group of teenagers in Messel, Germany
Location: Messel, Germany
Several 15 - 17-year-olds were at a discotheque in the town of Messel, when they saw outside a steel blue luminous disk with a dome on top which appeared over the woods about 600 meters from where they where standing. It slowly approached the witnesses at very low altitude, a distance of about 100 meters. Its diameter was about 10 meters wide. After a few seconds, the disc started to move in spiral curves down to the ground; it stopped for a moment before it flew away at a steep upward angle.

Disk-Shaped Object With Dome on Top Over Messel Near Frankfurt
On March 13, 1982, several 15 - 17-year-olds were on their way to a discotheque in the town of Messel, 20 km south of the city of Frankfurt. At approximately 9:10 p.m., they observed three groups of lights consisting of four round lights flashing in different colors. Each group formed a square of 1.5° diameter at an altitude of about 30°. The first formation moved slowly and then stopped to hover in the air. The second formation displayed a slow movement as well, but the third group flew very fast over these formations and disappeared. After a few seconds, the other formations moved away too. At that time, the teenagers went into the discotheque.
At about 9:30 p.m., they were called out by friends to see something strange in the sky. A few minutes later, all of them observed a bright blue flash coming from the sky, like a spotlight. Soon after that, a steel blue luminous disk with a dome on top appeared over the woods about 600 meters from where they where standing. It slowly approached the witnesses at very low altitude, a distance of about 100 meters. Its diameter was about 10 meters wide. The dome was divided into several multi-colored segments. Inside the dome, something rotated like a "beacon". On the edge of the dome, the colors yellow, green and red appeared, one after the other. Near the edge of the disc were four square white lights arranged at equal distance from each other. On the bottom of the disc, a bluish-white light radiated in non-regular intervals, creating a cone-like shape. After a few seconds, the disc started to move in spiral curves down to the ground; it stopped for a moment before it flew away at a steep upward angle. The excited teenagers immediately called the police. When the police officers arrived, the disk could no longer be seen, but several unusual lights over the woods were observed by the police officers, too. (MUFON-CES Report No.9, 1983)
Because of the many reliable witnesses the reliability index for the case is p = 99.99 %.


Blueberry Banana Cake is one of my very favorite cakes! So tender and moist with a perfect crumb. People never believe me that it is gluten free! I bake this at 7000 feet so if you live at a high elevation and are looking for high elevation recipes this one is perfect! But no worries if you don't… this turns out perfect at any elevation!
I first developed the original gluten full recipe for this when my kids were young and I was running a home daycare. This cake is perfect for young kids! You can make it vegan, low sugar and with no refined sugar. At Kat's Cupcakes I get asked to make this for a first birthday cake by many moms who want a healthier alternative to a smash cake.
Once I became gluten free I still wanted this cake. So I developed a lovely version of it gluten free. To tell you the truth… I love it even more gluten free! The secret to this having a perfect texture is the buckwheat! Buckwheat does not have any gluten even though it has wheat in the name. It is a whole grain and is lower on the glycemic index than other gluten free grains. It is so full of nutrients! For some reason buckwheat has a way of holding onto liquids so it helps keep your baked goods soft and moist.
This cake freezes wonderfully! It makes a great low sugar dessert, or a to die for breakfast with a cup or tea or coffee! Give this cake a try and let me know how you like it!
If you don't feel like baking it… you can order one that I have baked at my Etsy Shop.
Preheat oven to 350 and grease desired pan size.. see below.
Put all the wet ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium speed until well mixed. In a separate bowl sift together the dry ingredients. With the mixer on low add the dry ingredients 1/4 cup at a time. Beat on medium until thoroughly combined. Stir in blueberries gently by hand. Scoop into prepared pans and bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
This cake can be made in sever different sizes.
If you freeze this make sure to unwrap it when thawing. If not it will get to wet.


Nintendo this morning announced that they have scheduled a new Nintendo Direct event for Thursday, March 8th, 2018 at 2pm PT/5pm ET to go over some upcoming Nintendo Switch and 3DS releases… including Mario Tennis Aces.
We assume the 30 minute presentation will have a little more than just tennis so make sure to add it to your agenda and stop by to see what's up.
See the live event below tomorrow too.

Q: If $X$ is a subspace of $Y$ then $Y$ is a ... of $X$? This is more of a linguistic question than a mathematical one, but let me try anyway:

What is the antonym of subspace?

Is it a superspace? What else?
Suppose $X$ is a subspace of $Y$, say, a topological space, a vector space or whatever other spaces there are in mathematics. What is then $Y$ in relation to $X$?

A: If $X$ is a subspace of $Y$, then $Y$ is usually called the ambient space of $X$.

The World Backgrounds library sells footage to TV production companies. Space 1999 shots are mixed up from many different episodes, and other series (including UFO ), and even footage of world war 2 airplanes or 1970s trains. Catalogue descriptions are of varying quality (one UFO clip is labelled "cheesy cheesy flying saucer").
These were sold on to TV production companies, which used them in various TV shows and music videos. TV shows with stock footage included Dr Who , Wonder Woman , The Tomorrow People and The Two Ronnies . Films include God Told Me To , Spaced Out and The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid . Music videos included bands such as The Rockets, Kansas, Peter Schilling, Flock Of Seagulls, Rush, the Rah Band and Fuzzbox.
Many of the shots have appeared in DVD quality on the Network Complete First Series (2010) and others in HD quality on the Complete Second Series (2015). Many shots in the catalogue were not available on the Blu-ray sets, so I have included them here, even though the quality of the samples is poor, sometimes terrible. Many shots are reversed left for right, or even played upside down or backwards (I have corrected some of them here).
Note that Network Complete First Series contains one shot which isn't Space 1999 at all: a shot of Saturn is from the film Saturn V .
Even if the shot appeared in the episode, the library version is often longer, typically 10-20 seconds, while edited into the episode it would be 5-10 seconds. A number of alternative takes are in the library, some close to the final version, some very different.


Vehicle title loans have become a major player in the lending industry, thanks to the pervasiveness of online lending. Surveys have shown that an increasing number of millennials are utilizing bad credit score auto loan Halifax Nova Scotia as a way to finance big investments or consolidate debt. There are several things to keep in mind before you avail of this secure loan.
There are several things a 20-something should keep in mind before they avail of this secure loan.
Traditional Lenders and Online Lenders are Different: Borrowers should understand that there are fundamental differences between the two. For one, online title companies have less overhead costs so they can afford to offer lower interest rates. Meanwhile, traditional lenders have the advantage of providing a face-to-face discussion with a loan officer so you can discuss your concerns in detail.
Credit Matters Little: Another thing to keep in mind is how the two types of lenders view credit scores. Traditional lenders will take your credit history and rating into account while online lenders do not put too much priority on it. They're more concerned with the collateral you're putting up.

Q: Lex selects one intent for any one-word utterance that doesn't match a valid utterance For a few months, my team has been working on a Lex-based chatbot that's attached to a marketing website. The bot has a total of 32 intents that handle over 300 utterances right now. In an effort to reduce utterances that invoke error handling responses (and to make the bot more useful and friendly), we've implemented 3 intents in the following order over time:
1) a "Thank You" intent: responds with "you're welcome"-type messages when a user types some variant of "thank you".
2) a "No Answer Available" intent to handle known utterances (from our usability and internal user testing) that the bot isn't currently designed to answer, but that we want to refer the user to a human chat agent (e.g. "I don't have an answer for that, but type 'transfer' to talk to one of our human agents who can help."). This intent currently has the largest set of utterances in the bot.
3) a "No Response" intent that "eats" a small number of utterances from the user that don't really require a response and would probably go to error handling other wise and make the bot look dumb, e.g. "you're welcome", "ok, got it", "cool", "k"  etc. IOW, it doesn't return any response for these to the user.
Until we implemented #3 (maybe coincidental?), if a user typed 1 or more nonsense words to the bot, it properly triggered error handling. After implementing #3, a single, alpha-only word of apparently any length that doesn't match a valid utterance is now triggering the "Thank you" intent.
Screenshot: bot says "you're welcome" to a nonsense word
Note that 2 nonsense words triggers the expected error handling messages. Also, single strings that contain symbols or numbers also trigger error handling as expected. Interestingly (and unexpectedly), text-based emoticons typed in the usual direction, e.g. :-) or :) or ;-) also trigger the "thank you" intent, but if you type them in the reverse direction, e.g. (-: they trigger error handling.
Additionally, 2 other intents handle a number of single-word utterances:
1) A "signoff" intent that handles words like: bye, goodbye, later, exit, quit, etc.
2) A "hello" intent that responds to: hi, hello, hey, what's up, what's happening, etc.
So the "Thank you" intent has neither the largest number of utterances in the bot nor the largest number of 1-word utterances (just "thanks", actually) both which I have seen in various forums as reasons why a Lex intent would attract incorrect utterances.
I've tried searching for answers on this phrasing the question any way I can think of and haven't found anything.
So, though it's not a product show-stopper, it's making me a little crazy, and I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has run into anything like this in their Amazon Lex journeys and had any ideas.
Thanks!

Grieving mum's agonising wait for answers six months after rugby-mad son found dead in lake
"I want justice and I feel like I'm not getting it"
Jon MacphersonChief Reporter
Thomas GeorgeNews reporter

A heartbroken mum says she still 'needs answers' more than six months after her teenage son was found dead in a lake.
Samson Price was discovered after emergency services were called to reports of a concern for welfare of a man at Westwood Flash in Wigan on October 4 last year.
Three teenagers aged 17, 18 and 19 were arrested on suspicion of murder and later released without charge.
Tributes to the rugby-mad 18-year-old were paid by his devastated parents following his death which left their family 'broken' and a Go Fund Me page was set up in his memory.
No one has ever been charged in connection with the death of the 18-year-old.
Samson's mum, Rosanna, told the MEN that police have since told her there is a 'lack of evidence' and she still does not know what happened to him.
Mrs Price says she fears she may never know the full facts about how her son died and 'doesn't want him to be forgotten and become a statistic'.
She said: "I want justice and I feel like I'm not getting it.
"I have not got an answer as to how my son died. I need answers.
"I want to make Samson proud.
"I don't want him to be forgotten and become a statistic - a boy who drowned in the flash."

A rugby-mad teenager, Samson was a keen fan and player of both rugby union and rugby league.
Prior to his death, the former St Matthew's Primary and Hawkley Hall High school pupil had just started a plumbing course at Wigan and Leigh College.
Mrs Price said she and her son shared a close relationship and would often go out shopping and for meals together.
"He was my happiness," she said. "Just thinking about him made me smile.
"He was just everything you could want in a son. He was so kind and loving.
"If you needed help, he would help you.
"Samson was so full of life. Once you met him, you remembered him.
"I loved him more than my own life."

On the afternoon of October 3, Mrs Price said her son left the house and told her and his father, also called Samson, that he was going fishing with friends.
She says she has since learned that he took a drug similar to LSD, and a video showing him under the influence was taken on his phone at about 10.50pm that evening.
In the video, a male voice can be heard to say: "Chuck him in the pond."
Mrs Price claims that CCTV footage shows the men Samson was with getting into a vehicle at 11.16pm without him.
It was not until 1.30pm the following day that Mrs Price learned her son was missing.
She and her husband alerted the emergency services and Samson's body was recovered from the water that same afternoon.
A post-mortem examination has since determined he had died as a result of 'drowning'.
As no charges have been brought against anyone, an inquest is set to take place into Samson's death.
However, a date is yet to be set.

Woman insists she did not 'force feed' man who choked to death on a train
Mrs Price hopes the inquest will provide some answers or lead to a fresh police investigation.
She described the past seven months as 'horrific' as she struggles to come to terms with the loss of her beloved son.
She says Samson's death has left her 'a shadow' of her former self.
Mrs Price explained: "Before all this, I was independent, I went to work and I was very chatty.
"I had everything I wanted, but I will never be the person I was.
"I don't like talking to people anymore, I don't like leaving my house, I have been on sick from work since January.
"I'm trying to get through it for my daughter, but sometimes the pain gets so bad.
"Sometimes I will be washing up and a song comes on the radio and it is like someone has punched me in the stomach."

"I've never felt pain like it," she added.
"I'm still waiting for him to walk through the door.
"Some days I just imagine he is out with his mates and he will be home soon.
"It is a life sentence, knowing I'm never going to see him, hear him, or smell him again.
"Samson had so many plans. He wanted to get his driving licence and go away on holiday.
"His life was just getting started."
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police confirmed three men who were arrested have been released with no further action. The incident will now be referred to the coroner.

The reality is that only a fraction of who we are as individuals is known by those who follow us on social media, and even those with whom we do life on a regular basis only see what we allow them to see. Status and appearance seem to be the focus of the day. And yet God sees things very differently. He is not interested in our status and what others think of us. He is interested in our substance and in what is happening on the inside of us.
God admonishes us in 1 Sameul 16:7, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." The Lord isn't so concerned with your outward accomplishments or status as He is with your inner heart and soul health.
This is what the Lord is after. He is concerned with the condition of our hearts. He is seeking to make us into people who are humble and repentant, who are convicted by His Spirit and Word, who seek to honor Him with all their hearts and lives.
What Jesus was getting at was the important lesson Proverbs 4:23 points to -"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." The reason the Lord is concerned with the inner substance of who we are rather than the outer status of who we appear to be is because if our heart is in the right place, if we are following after Christ, walking by the Spirit, and seeking to live lives governed and directed by His wisdom, then everything else will follow. We will be good employees, we will parent well, we will be godly spouses, we will accomplish the good works God prepared beforehand for us to accomplish (Ephesians 2:10).
But if we put the cart before the horse? If we think our status is what is important, all the while ignoring our inner heart and soul health? Then our lives will eventually lead to ruin, for we will not be living life God's way.
If you want to grow as a believer, be successful at the work you have been tasked with accomplishing, and make a difference in this world, then focus on cultivating inner heart and soul health – seek to be a woman of substance, a woman following after the Lord. That will make all the difference!

Read this article in the Wall Street Journal this morning and thought it might be worth a discussion for our community to see what people think about this topic. Not sure if this belongs in this forum or the speaker's corner. Mods move if needed, please.
Did you document your hair-raising rock-climbing trip on Instagram? Post happy-hour photos on Facebook ? Or chime in on Twitter about riding a motorcycle with no helmet? One day, such sharing could push up your life insurance premiums.
In January, New York became the first state to provide guidance for how life insurers may use algorithms to comb through social media posts—as well as data such as credit scores and home-ownership records—to size up an applicant's risk. The guidance comes amid expectations that within years, social media may be among the data reviewed before issuing life insurance as well as policies for cars and property.
New York set a high bar, requiring insurers to prove that any social-media data used in underwriting is actuarially justified, logical for use and doesn't unfairly discriminate against certain customers.
"We're going through a period now where most life insurers are exploring using all types of data, not just data they get directly from the customer proactively, but other external sources of data—social media being a big one," said Ari Libarikian, a senior partner at McKinsey & Co. in New York.
He anticipates that some day, underwriters will assess potential customers with automated reports based in part on their social media use. "It's here to some degree and it's coming in the next couple of years," Mr. Libarikian said.
If I post photos of potentially risky behavior, will my life insurance premiums go up?
The time and effort to monitor an applicant's online presence can be costly, so few if any insurers are doing it yet in detail or at scale, says Jacques van Niekerk, chief executive of Wunderman Data, a unit of WPP Group . To spend resources figuring out that a policyholder went to Saint-Tropez and paraglided without a helmet for purposes of boosting a premium rate "could be bad and misguided," he said.
What should I avoid posting on social media?
Given how digital histories can linger, people should go easy on photos of risky behavior such as smoking and instead play up boasts about healthy activities, like recent cycling trips or marathons, said Mike Vogt. He is executive director of data and analytics for SPR, a firm whose services include using artificial intelligence and social media accounts to help insurers process claims.
Could my digital habits help my insurance costs go down?
Some life and car insurers are exploring whether consumers will share real-time health or driving data. Remember, a life insurer who took blood and urine samples already knows a lot about the customer. To develop friendly relationships, some insurers are offering perks like gift cards in exchange for reaching milestones in exercise and providing details about sleep. "If you live a healthy life, why not share that?" Mr. van Niekerk said.
However, such sharing isn't for everyone and some privacy experts caution against trading personal data for perks.
In the future, social media data and other information sources could make life insurance cheaper and less of a hassle to secure. "What if you didn't have to go to the doctor and give blood?" Mr. Libarikian said.
How are insurers using social-media data right now?
Some insurers are using social media in handling claims. Insurers can check explanations of auto claims against Facebook testimonials about an accident. And they could challenge disability claims if posted photos from a ski trip, for example, contradict an impairment or illness.
What is holding back the use of social media in underwriting?
The technology to study individuals' social media accounts to make underwriting decisions is underdeveloped but likely inevitable, consultants and data scientists say. "We know that underwriting is the next big thing" to mine online postings, SPR's Mr. Vogt said.
But until and unless the technology is perfected, it generally isn't cost-efficient for insurers to assign staff to look at Facebook pages and tweets. Verifying identifications on social media, tracking oft-changing accounts and converting the information into usable, predictive data isn't yet scalable or cost-effective, companies said.
Also, insurers aren't yet confident that information from social media is better than traditional sources, such as answers to questions on applications, prescription-drug databases and blood and urine samples—though ultimately it could be easier and cheaper to get.
Yes, industry consultants say. Review the privacy settings on each social-media account, making sure posts are only shared among your selected network. Untag yourself from photos other people post, and ask friends not to tag you in the first place.
Ultimately, though, experts warn that if you lead an unhealthy life, your insurance company will figure it out the old-fashioned way, by asking questions and taking blood and urine samples.
It's a non-issue. If you're worried, dont use your real name online and restrict the privacy settings. At the end of the day, the free market principle still applies. If my whatever insurance company raises my rates because I have a profile photo of me skydiving, fine I'll just drop them and find someone else. They can come up with any excuse they want, I am still the one that decides if I want to continue being their customer or not.
The issue is that you probably would not know why your rates were raised. Also, at some point we will reach a stage where every insurance company is doing the same thing, and then what?
A similar issue is the offer to lower your rates for car insurance if you agree to have a GPS logger permanently in your car so the company can see if you're a very cautious driver or if you regularly drive in areas where the risk of damage is low in comparison. In Germany, this is currently a voluntary agreement between the insurance company and the client to offer lower rates for lower risk, and of course clients would only agree to this if they think they can benefit. But given enough time and clients who do this, this could turn around in a few years and insurance companies might very well charge extra (even if it's a hidden raise) if you do not have one of those things in your car.
I'm very cautious as to what I share on socal media and otherwise, but just me being cautious might not be enough. I might need to go with the masses and start posting pictures about a healthy lifestyle. In a few years, not posting pictures of your veggy diet and yoga classes (or not even having a social media account) might make you stand out like posting pictures from your fun weekend skydiving today.
I don't think it matters if you are a skydiver, just state that in the insurance application. Of course it will cost more, but you'll be covered if anything happens. I spent 6+ months trying to find insurance that made sense for me and our family that covered skydiving. At the end of the day, I got two policies - one for a fee of $2/1000 of coverage with a general aviation rider that covers skydiving and a policy without the rider. I post as many skydiving photos as I want on social media.
I dunno. It's funny how the zeitgeist swings from "public social media is dying, people have moved on to privacy focused apps like snapchat, stories on facebook and instagram or DM style encrypted apps" to "well the next generation will eventually be so used to public social media that they will be on there all the time"
I think the privacy trend is more likely, especially if people think posting publicly will affect them financially. There are always the exceptions that prove the rule though.
The whole "once you post it you can't take it down and it will be on the internet for anyone to find forever" is not that simple either. There are plenty of ways to share information that won't be seen by an insurance company, and even deleting a tweet on the ultimate public space, twitter, will let it slide out of view of prying eyes (unless you are a celebrity / public figure or have followers that will retweet you or report you).
But if I was committing insurance fraud, like any other illegal act I sure as hell would keep that as private as possible. Posting about walking around while you are laid up recovering from your slip and fall would just be dumb.

Introduction: Trauma, bone infections, and bone defects that emerge during the attempts as musculoskeletal tumor surgery can be treated with bone grafts. The aim of this study is to investigate the level of bone fracture healing that was treated using different kinds of grafts.
Materials and Methods: 40 male Wistar-Albino rats were used as 4 different groups with 10 rats each. The groups included the sham, the corticocancellous analog bone graft, the demineralized bone matrix, and the synthetic ceramic bioglass. All rat groups were evaluated biomechanically and histopathologically.
Results: The average scores of the histological evaluations were as follows: 5.5±1.64 in the sham, 5.62±2.38 in the group-1, 6.9±1.19 in the group-2, and 7.4±1.17 in the group-3. There was a significant difference among all groups in terms of the histopathological findings (p=0,041). The p-values for the group pairs were as follows: the sham and group-2, p=0.857; the sham and group-3, p=0.049; the sham and group-4, p=0.011; groups 2 and 3, p=0.22; groups 2 and 4, p=0.087; groups 3 and 4, p=0.37.
Conclusion: Histopathologic findings showed the presence of a supporting effect of allograft on the healing of defective bone fractures. However, biomechanical positive effects of allografts were seen by the demineralized bone matrix and bioactive glass-ceramic.
Key words: Ceramic, bioglass, corticocancellous, bone matrix, fracture, graft

"Were They Lying?" Questions: A Practitioner's Look at the California Rule Versus the Federal Rule
by Jesse Gessin
The rule of sequestration results in parties often being the only witnesses to hear every other witness at trial. That makes them "super witnesses" who can testify about other witnesses' testimony. It is tempting to ask the only all-knowing witness: "So, were they lying?"
In California, an attorney is permitted to pose a "were they lying question" to a party, putting California jurisprudence at odds with federal decisions from nearly every Circuit Court of Appeals. This article examines the difference in the two rules, the rationales behind that difference, and practice points for addressing "were they lying?" questions.
The Federal Rule
In federal courts, including the Ninth Circuit, "it is reversible error for a witness to testify over objection whether a previous witness was telling the truth. . . . It is the jurors' responsibility to determine credibility by assessing the witnesses and witness testimony in light of their own experience."[1] Prosecutors are often tempted to ask defendants if a law enforcement officer (or other witnesses) is lying. The First Circuit recently reiterated this bedrock rule while chastising prosecutors for asking "were they lying?" questions: "Over the past twenty-five years, this court has consistently held that counsel should not ask one witness to comment on the veracity of the testimony of another witness . . . We expect that the office of the United States Attorney . . . will abide by the rule."[2]
There are many reasons for the federal rule. "Were they lying?" questions invade the province of the jury, constitute improper character evidence, put the testifying party in a no-win situation, ask questions about which the witness lacks personal knowledge, and are argumentative.[3]
On the flip side of the coin, California law, in narrow circumstances, nevertheless permits "were they lying?" questions. The issue was first recognized by a court of appeal in 2003 in People v. Foster.[4] The Foster decision discusses the three lines of jurisprudence respecting "were they lying?" questions. The first line of cases is from federal jurisprudence, and holds it is always improper to ask "were they lying?" questions. The second line of cases finds "were they lying?" examinations to be appropriate because they "merely emphasize the conflict in the evidence, which it was the jury's duty to resolve."[5] "A third line of cases holds that 'were they lying' questions are neither categorically improper nor categorically proper, but are appropriate under certain limited circumstances[,]" such as when "the only possible explanation" is a witness is lying, or when a witness opened the door, or when a "were they lying?" question is used to clarify "a particular line of testimony."[6] The Foster court notes "there is no California authority establishing whether or not ['were they lying?'] questions" are permitted, and declined to address the issue squarely.
In 2006, the California Supreme Court adopted the rule from the third line. In People v. Chatman, the court finds:
In sum, courts should carefully scrutinize "were they lying" questions in context. They should not be permitted when argumentative, or when designed to elicit testimony that is irrelevant or speculative. However, in its discretion, a court may permit such questions if the witness has personal knowledge that allows him or her to provide competent testimony that may legitimately assist the trier of fact in resolving credibility questions.[7]
In fashioning this rule, the Chatman court eschews one of the key rationales for the federal rule, namely, witness credibility should be solely within the province of the jury. On this point, the court states:
It is a truism that it is for the jury to determine credibility. Questions that legitimately assist the jurors in discharging that obligation are proper. The legal cliché used by many courts, that evidence would invade the province or usurp the function of the jury is, as Dean Wigmore has said, so misleading, as well as so unsound, that it should be entirely repudiated. It is a mere bit of empty rhetoric, and remains simply one of those impracticable and misconceived utterances which lack any justification in principle.[8]
Another rationale for the federal rule is the bar on lay witness opinion testimony about the credibility of witnesses, which is black letter law in both federal and California codes.[9] The Chatman court split a thin reed by recognizing "a difference between asking a witness whether, in his opinion, another is lying and asking that witness whether he knows of a reason why another would be motivated to lie."[10]
Considerations for Civil Cases
Chatman, like the majority of "were they lying?" question cases, is a prosecutorial misconduct case where the examination involved a prosecutor asking a defendant about a police officer's credibility. In civil cases, the rationales cited in federal jurisprudence may justify banning or further restricting "were they lying?" questions.
There appear to be no published civil "were they lying?" decisions in California. The difference between civil and criminal is essential as there are differences between a criminal defendant taking the stand and a lay witness in a civil case. In light of constitutional protections, there is no right to call as a witness a criminal defendant. Once criminal defendants take the stand, they waive bedrock constitutional rights, and place themselves into the line of fire. The Chatman court reflects on this waiver:
The permissible scope of cross-examination of a defendant is generally broad. When a defendant voluntarily testifies, the district attorney may fully amplify his testimony by inquiring into the facts and circumstances surrounding his assertions, or by introducing evidence through cross-examination which explains or refutes his statements or the inferences which may necessarily be drawn from them. A defendant cannot, by testifying to a state of things contrary to and inconsistent with the evidence of the prosecution, thus indirectly denying the testimony against him, but without testifying expressly with relation to the same facts, limit the cross-examination to the precise facts concerning which he testifies.[11]
A civil litigant does not have the same protections, and any party may cross-examine the opposing party in their case-in-chief.[12]
There is also a special relationship between a criminal investigator and a criminal defendant; reminiscent of the classic scene from Heat where Al Pacino sits across from Robert DeNiro in a diner. Before exchanging the first word, the scene portrays the cat-and-mouse relationship by smokey stares of the two stars. Proving a crime beyond a reasonable doubt almost always requires the prosecution to establish a defendant's mental state. The investigator is in a unique position to be able to put an entire narrative before the jury to show what was in a defendant's mind when they committed the acts. There are very few instances where a party in a civil case is in the same position as a criminal investigator. These differences may be significant enough to justify cabining California's rule to prosecutorial misconduct cases.
There are structural and evidentiary rationales against "were they lying?" questions (invade the province of the jury, constitute improper character evidence, put the testifying party in a no-win situation, ask questions about which the witness lacks personal knowledge, argumentative).[13]
Also, application, especially in the civil context, is difficult. "Were they lying?" questions rarely fit squarely within one of the narrow Chatman circumstances, yet witness credibility is an issue in every jury trial, and savvy practitioners will almost always be able to make a colorable argument for asking the question.
Practice Pointers
"Were they lying?" questions can be effective at bolstering another witness' credibility, while at the same time casting doubt on the testifying witness. But practitioners must be cautious. There are several practice pointers to keep in mind when posing "were they lying" questions to a witness. Crafting the examination narrowly to fit within the limited circumstances of Chatman is a must. The questions should be concise and impactful. Attorneys need to prepare a ready response to an inevitable objection, and the best practice is to have a "pocket brief" on the law in the trial bag.
However, advocates should be cautious of asking witnesses "were they lying?" questions. Prosecutors risk misconduct and civil attorneys could run afoul of the jury. For example, in closing, an opposing counsel can also explain the catch-22 of a "were they lying?" examination, which only leaves two options for a witness: (1) take the high-road by not calling out the other witness, and thereby bolster that witness' credibility; or (2) take the low-road by calling the other witness a liar, and thus appear unsavory before the jury. An opposing counsel could point to the pattern civil jury instruction on witness credibility[14] and paint the line of "were they lying?" questions as a sucker punch. Opposing counsel can then hit home that the jury should rely on themselves, not an interested witness, to determine who or who not to believe. For these reasons, counsel should tread carefully before posing "were they lying?" questions.

Travel opportunities are some of the best parts of being on Team Aspire, and we recently visited both coasts for rewarding conferences. The first of these events took place in Newport Beach, California, while the second took our top performers to Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Our cross-country trip also included a visit to another successful office, which was an incredible mentorship and networking opportunity.
During these team excursions, we learned new tricks of the business, sharpened our leadership skills, and made sure everything we're doing follows best practices. We came back to the Aspire office more motivated than ever to achieve major wins for our national service partners.
Throughout our various travel events, we do our best to maintain our routines. This goes for sleep, exercise, and diet whenever possible. We try to stick to our typical times for waking up and going to bed, although it can be tough on the road. We've found that limiting caffeine can help us get enough rest when we're far from home.
When it comes to exercise, we make the most of what we have at our disposal. Hotel gyms can be expansive or limited, so we use long walks around the event sites whenever necessary. Whatever our options are, we make sure to have our workout clothes and shoes for every trip.
We learned so much during our bicoastal conference experiences. Follow Aspire on Twitter for updates on our future travel plans.


Volume is the total amount of work you perform in the gym during any given workout. We measure this work by sets, reps, and the weight being used. Reps and weight are the actual mathematical definition of work. Work (volume) = distance (repetition) multiplied by force (weight).
Managing volume in training is probably the hardest thing for lifters to understand. However, you need to understand it so you'll never overtrain or under-train again.
As a beginner, you need very little stimulus to create an adaptation. Doing more isn't going to make you grow any faster; it's just going to slow your progress. You must be patient and let the body grow. After your warm-up sets, three working sets of five reps on the bench, squat, and lat pulls are all you need to stimulate the body enough to grow.
It's now 3 to 6 months after you started (maybe even longer depending on just how new you are), and aside from adding a few curls at the end of each workout and totally blowing off one or two workouts to get a bodybuilder pump session in, you've stuck to the boring yet very progressive program.
Now you're squatting in the 300s, benching in the 200s, and deadlifting in the low 400s. At this point, gains are starting to get harder to come by. The body needs more stimuli to promote more adaptations. This is because you're starting to get strong! Your body has become resilient to the loads of work and you're growing hair on your chest.
This training hell will build mental fortitude that's hard to develop in any other way. Lots of people jump ship at this point and find other ways to make gains, but you're not going to be one of them. You'll earn mad respect from the veteran lifters if you can look them in the eye and say, "I survived the Texas Method."
You can't stay in hell too long or you'll get burned. Your lifts are now strong enough that doing a single heavy set of a major compound movement is very taxing on the body. This is why reps need to start to drop off in the major barbell movements. The weight is so heavy that your equation needs to be rebalanced (remember, volume is a combination of weight and reps).
This is where we start to throw in assistance exercises – secondary compound movements like Romanian deadlifts, good mornings, incline bench, dumbbell work, etc. These exercises help stimulate the body without the brutal volume of the big lifts.
Notice that the frequency of the major barbell movements has dropped off. Again, because we're so strong at this point, the stimulus created has a longer lasting effect. We don't need to bench three times a week anymore, so we won't.
This is a great way to check if you're in the right stage of your training progression. There's a normal amount of soreness to be expected from training. Some tender traps and pecs, along with tight hamstrings and quads for a couple days out of the week is to be expected, especially if these movements or rep schemes are new to you.
Then there's debilitating, system-wide, chronic soreness, the kind where you can't get off the toilet, sit up in bed, or reach your arm to grab the protein bag out of the cupboard. If this is happening day after day, your volume is too high. This isn't healthy.
For the gain-obsessed, this type of training won't induce progress. Soreness like this is literal destruction of the body that's not repairable. Dial back the volume and watch the gains return.

Potential of whey as a food constituent in Switzerland
Kopf Bolanz K., Bisig W., Jungbluth N., Denkel Ch.
270-277, 2015
Each year, 1 300 000 tons of whey occur in Switzerland as a by-product of cheesemaking: 24 % is used in the food industry, 31 % is transformed into high-value animal feed and 45 % is fed directly to pigs. Increasing the percentage made into foodstuffs would be desirable but is difficult to realize because production is scattered and concentrating the many small amounts of whey is transport intensive. Moreover, the composition of the whey varies according to the type of cheese manufactured, which complicates processing and makes it difficult to obtain milk protein powder with constant properties. Producing «ideal» whey would allow circumventing the problem but would require changing the cheese production processes. The economic impact of such a step has not yet been calculated. Estimates of the environmental impact can be positive or negative depending on the protein concentration and the lactose removal. Only little is known about the associations that the word «whey» evokes for consumers, and a strategy allowing to increase the amounts consumed remains to be defined.

Today's smartphones are powerful enough to perform complex image processing. The idea was born to develop an innovative app to detect the red and green phases of a pedestrian lights and translating them to acoustic or tactile signals.
According to federal laws, most but not all pedestrian lights nowadays have acoustic and/or tactile signal generators, which allow the visually impaired or blind people to recognize red and green phases. However, some traffic signals do not support these additional signal generators or the signals are difficult to detect because of e.g. ambient noise. The working group of Prof. Zrenner at the Research Institute for Ophthalmology in Tübingen (Director: Prof. M. Ueffing), in cooperation with of computer science of the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg, have devoted them to this problem.
Under the direction of Dr. Torsten Straßer, a former student and present lecturer at the University of Augsburg and postdoctoral research fellow at the Research Institute for Ophthalmic Research, the students have developed an Android app for the recognition of red and green phases using a smartphone. With the increasing popularity of smartphones and the increase in the technical capabilities of these devices, more and more people with a visual impairment are using a smartphone in their daily lives. Since today's smartphones are powerful enough to perform complex image processing, which is used, for example, for so-called augmented reality applications, the idea was born to develop an app that was built using the camera and other sensors (e.g. GPS, Compass) of a smartphone to detect the red and green phases of a pedestrian light and translating them to acoustic or tactile signals. This app aims to allow people with a visual impairment to safely cross a street at a pedestrian crossing, regardless of local conditions.
The detection of the pedestrian lights and the traffic light phase is realized with the help of machine learning. The sample data required for the training of the app were collected and classified with another app: The "LightsCatcher" app developed for this allows everyone to take photos of pedestrian lights in their surroundings, to classify the red / green phase and thus to support the project. Within the duration of the project, more than 3000 photos of pedestrian lights were collected and classified by several dozen volunteers, especially in Southern Germany, but also in some European cities (Link: http://goo.gl/tcvCYf).
The collected images were then manually checked and further classified. From all pictures up to now about 1000 were selected and used for training the app using machine learning. New pictures are still being edited and checked, with the aim to further improve the detection rate. The app trained with the collected images is at present able to detect the traffic light phase reliably in a large part of pedestrian traffic lights. The applicability at the moment is limited by the distance to the traffic light and the light conditions. It is, however, to be expected that with an increasing number of images the detection rate can be improved still further.
After completion of the project, the project is to be published on a Citizen Science platform and further framework projects will be pursued. The trained network and the collected and classified images are open source and available for other projects.

I love tofu, and like Sonal said, it's excellent dipped in soy sauce. But I usually fry them, so I'll give your bake method a try. My daughter, who's an "almost vegetarian", also likes tofu. My son and hubby, not so much! 🙂 I need to train them, lol. XOXO, Angie.
These sound amazing and look just like sweet potato fries!
Another super idea from you 🙂 From making no dal quick sambhar, to baked tofu .. your recipes are bookmarked most of the time. Trying it out soon.
Wow!… baked tofu… very interesting. I normally roast them on a tawa marinating with tamarind extract and other Indian spices. Yours is quite new for me.
Thanks ! I am going to try the tamarind marination, it sounds yummy.


Both iGETT and iGETT: Remote Sensing have followed the same schedule of professional development.
First Summer: Eight-day summer institute, focused on remote sensing skills that address workforce applications of remote sensing data; related use of global positioning systems (GPS); the integration of these technologies with GIS; and effective classroom instruction of skills and competencies that are aligned with geospatial technology industry needs. Hosted during the iGETT project by Del Mar College in Corpus Christ, Texas and during the iGETT: Remote Sensing project by the US Geological Survey Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS) in Sioux Falls, SD (Cohort 3) and by Northern Virginia Community College in Reston, VA (Cohort 4).
Curriculum materials development: case-study-based student exercises; short instructional modules. Materials posted on the iGETT website after review for content accuracy and workforce relevance.
Course and program development; workforce outreach to support geospatial education at the home institutions; conference presentations by selected participants.
Second Summer: Five-day summer institute, focused on continued remote sensing instruction; presenting and critiquing participant-developed instructional materials; refining plans for course and program development and student recruiting. Hosted during the iGETT project by Del Mar College and during the iGETT: Remote Sensing Project by Northern Virginia Community College (Cohort 3) and the US Geological Survey EROS Center (Cohort 4).
