2013-Ainurul Rosli
Broadening the evidence base on knowledge transfer partnerships (KTPs) in the social sciences
Dr Ainurul Rosli, University of Wolverhampton Business School
Dr Nick Yip, Norwich Business School, University of East Anglia
Dr Federica Rossi, Birkbeck, University of London
The project aimed to explore the multiple dimension of KTPs value within the context of the social sciences disciplines. Much evidence suggests that universities interact with businesses and other economic and social stakeholders through many channels, which involve different types of academic knowledge and support a variety of innovation processes. In the current knowledge-based, service-led economy, it is important to look beyond the well-known contributions made by the natural sciences and engineering in order to grasp the important role played by the social sciences in supporting innovation and socioeconomic development. Indeed, what value do social science KTPs generate for businesses and what other direct and indirect impacts they foster, largely remains unaddressed in the literature.
Building upon an extensive study of primary and secondary sources and the analysis of original evidence from case studies, the project set out to develop a conceptual model that explores multiple dimensions of value against traditional "direct" universities–industry interaction impacts. Moreover, since measuring the knowledge transfer impact is a complex process where active participation of all parties is crucial, the study intended to involve a full range of parties engaged in the sampled KTP projects to explore their perspectives on value evaluation. The findings also fit into our agenda of promoting a transition towards more accurate and comprehensive indicators of knowledge transfer impact.

No. 3 Baylor equestrian was named the No. 2 overall seed in the NCEA National Championships on April 16-18 at the Extraco Events Center in Waco.
With the top four seed, the reigning Big 12 champions (13-4, 4-2) earn a first round bye at the championships. Baylor recently captured the conference title after tournament wins over TCU and Kansas State last weekend.
The Bears will face the winner of seven-seed TCU and 10-seed Oklahoma State in the NCEA quarterfinals. If they win, they will advance to the semifinal round of the tournament, where they fell to eventual champion and one-seed Georgia last year.
In the Big 12 championships, three riders earned Most Outstanding Player awards after the conclusion of the tournament. The Bears have Big 12 Co-Coach of the Year Ellen White at the helm where Baylor took home the 2012 hunter seat title. Due to recent rule changes only one champion will be crowned at the 2015 championships.
No time has been set yet for the start of the tournament.

Guide: How to buy a car in Europe and legally ship it to Russia
Maria Bunina
With high prices for foreign cars and a scarcity of model choices on offer in Russia, a new popular option is to individually purchase a car abroad and ship it to Russia. Such a purchase allows you to get a car at a cheaper price, as well as a model that's not available on the local market. The downside, however, is that you'll have to fill out a lot of paperwork and pay customs fees.
First things first — decide which car you want to buy and bring to Russia. Most often people choose cars that cost less than €50,000 and that are three to five years old. This is because western sanctions apply to more expensive cars; those that are either newer or older will cost much more to clear customs.
3 ways to buy a foreign car overseas:
Import the car yourself;
Order the car's delivery through an intermediary company;
Order the car's delivery through an individual intermediary.
One of the most popular options is to buy a car in Germany. For example, go to a German car website (such as mobile.de) and there you can find and choose a car. The website lists the contact details of the car dealership, which then finalizes the purchase.
With the dealer, you need to clarify the car's availability, its condition, whether the dealer will sell it to a Russian citizen, will they rebate VAT after the sale and what type of payment method can be used. You should also clarify if the dealer will provide a transit license plate and whether they'll prepare customs documents. If not, you'll have to do it yourself or look for an intermediary firm on the spot.
If everything is in order, you'll have to check the car's condition, sign the contract and leave a deposit (€1,000 – €5,000). You can do it yourself, ask friends to help or rely on an intermediary. In the latter two cases you'll have to give them power of attorney.
Documents to cross the border

Even before your car arrives at the Russian border, you'll have to contact the Central Excise Customs Office at your place of residence in Russia in order to receive a permit to bring the car into the country. The process of customs clearance is time-consuming, which is why many people usually go to customs brokers. The cost of their services starts at 15,000 rubles (about $250/ €250 ).
At the customs office you'll need to report the car's make, its year of manufacture, its engine capacity and other data, as well as for the person who will actually bring it in. On the basis of this information, the customs office will calculate the deposit. You'll need a copy of the vehicle's registration certificate (you can get it from the dealer via email).
You'll also need to write a statement about your intention to bring in a car, asking for permission to pay a deposit. In your statement, you need to specify the car's price, the entry point and a commitment to deliver the car within a specified timeframe. Along with this statement, you'll need to pay the security deposit.
It's best to transfer a little bit more money because the final amount is calculated in euros but is paid in rubles according to the Central Bank exchange rate on the payment day. This will be ascertained afterwards when the buyer brings the car to customs in Russia. You can pay via bank transfer based on the issued receipt or at the customs office with a 2% fee.
For the registration of payment documents Russian citizens need to provide:
A state-issued identity document (domestic passport)
INN (TIN) certificate
An international passport
Foreign nationals will need:
A state-issued identity document
Registration documents for place of residence or stay
Permanent residence permit or a visa
INN certificate if you have one
Official international driver's license

The deposit can be made either by the car's future owner or by the customs representative or a broker. In that case, a notarized power of attorney from the future car owner is required.
As a confirmation of the deposit, you'll be issued a customs receipt with the information about the car. The same information is repeated in the warranty certificate. You'll need the original documents at the border.
When you have the customs receipt and the warranty certificate, you can take the car from the dealer and ship it to Russia. If you plan to make the payment in cash, you should remember about the $10,000 export limit (or its equivalent in other currency) from Russia per person. For larger amounts, the money should be declared and their origin source confirmed – or travel with a companion who can also declare part of the total sum.
Bringing the car across the border

Prepare the car documents (right away ask for two originals of the sales contract) and the documents for customs from a local car dealer. You will also need to get transit license plates if the seller didn't arrange them in advance (for an additional fee or for free).
At the local customs you'll need to get an exit declaration for the car, a registration certificate and a document with a barcode for a VAT refund (MRN). You will need to scan it when exiting the EU. You need to ask the seller in advance if they can refund the VAT and how they can transfer the refund in the current situation.
Usually, cars are individually brought into Russia through Belarus or Scandinavian countries. It's widely believed that the simplest way is to do it through Finland.
When a car owner enters Russia by car, there's a 31 kilogram per person restriction for duty-free luggage transportation. Also, you can't bring euros into Russia now.
After passing customs at the Russian border the car should be brought to the customs office at one's place of residence within the timeframes outlined by customs.
Preparing the car documents

After the car is brought to the customs office at one's place of residence, the car owner fills a declaration and attaches all required documentation. This task can also be done by a customs representative.
Required documents:
Car document copies (contract of sale, insurance);
A customs receipt and a warranty certificate certified by an inspector (issued after the fact of paying the deposit);
Passenger customs declaration TD-6, where the car's information is stated (its make, model and VIN);
If you have all the documents and they're filled out accordingly, preparing all the documents takes from one to three days. In individual cases, however, a customs inspector could ask for a notarized translation of the documents.
After the declaration is issued, the car is delivered from the customs office to the Temporary Storage Warehouse (SVH in Russian). At SVH the car owner acquires the passport for his vehicle (PTS). Next, the car should be registered with the traffic police (GIBDD in Russian) – and finally you can hit the road.
How much does Russian customs clearance cost
Vehicle registration plates.
Evgeny Biyatov/Sputnik
To assess the price of individually importing a car into Russia, apart from the delivery expenses, you need to keep in mind three fees:
Customs clearance fee (depends on the car's cost).
Recycling fee to the government for transport environmental utilization (depends on the car's year of manufacture).
Customs fee (depends on the car's year of manufacture, its cost and engine capacity). This is the biggest expense.
You can quickly calculate the cost of bringing a foreign car into Russia with an online calculator (here, for example). On average, you should expect to pay €5,000 on import customs for a car that originally sold in the €15,000-€20,000 range and which is three-five years old. Before paying, you should clarify if there are possible benefits available, because their list is always changing.
As of now, you don't have to install the emergency services call button, ERA-GLONASS, into your car when bringing it to Russia. But this is temporary and it will be changed by February 1, 2023.

Ex-Trump lawyer Cohen testifies Trump told him to commit a crime
Manhattan Court
Trump Organization sued by ex-lawyer Cohen for legal fees
Russian sought 'synergy' with Trump campaign in 2015: US special counsel
Mueller recommends no prison for Flynn, cites cooperation
Ex-Trump lawyer brands US president 'con man' and 'racist'
As Trump fights the judges again, what is next for the migrants in limbo?
Pleading guilty, Michael Cohen testified that US president Donald Trump directed him to arrange payments ahead of the 2016 presidential election to silence two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.

US President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified on Tuesday that Trump directed him to commit a crime by arranging payments ahead of the 2016 presidential election to silence two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.
Cohen, 51, made the statements as he pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges in federal court in Manhattan, including tax evasion, bank fraud and campaign finance violations.
Cohen did not name Trump in court, but his lawyer, Lanny Davis, said afterward he was referring to the president.
TRT World's Nick Harper reports from New York.
"Today he (Cohen) stood up and testified under oath that Donald Trump directed him to commit a crime by making payments to two women for the principal purpose of influencing an election," Davis said in a statement after Cohen's plea.
"If those payments were a crime for Michael Cohen, then why wouldn't they be a crime for Donald Trump?" he said.
The two payments were intended to silence two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump and were made prior to the 2016 presidential election. One was for $130,000 given to adult-film star Stormy Daniels. The other for $150,000 related to former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
Trump has denied having affairs with the women. His lawyer Rudy Giuliani has said the payments were made to spare Trump and his family embarrassment and were unrelated to the campaign.
Cohen, one of Trump's closest associates for more than a decade, said in court he arranged to make payments "for (the) principal purpose of influencing (the) election" at the direction of a candidate for federal office.
"He worked to pay money to silence two women who had information that he believed would be detrimental to the 2016 campaign and to the candidate," said Robert Khuzami, a prosecutor for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office.
Khuzami told reporters Cohen sought reimbursement for the money by submitting "sham" invoices for legal services to the candidate's company.

Up to five years in prison
The guilty pleas came in the same hour that a federal jury in Alexandria, Virginia, convicted former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort of eight charges of tax and bank fraud and failing to disclose foreign bank accounts.
The Manafort conviction resulted from US Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 US election and possible coordination with the Trump campaign.
The probe also led to a referral from Mueller about Cohen to federal prosecutors in New York who began their own probe of the longtime Trump lawyer.
Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion and has called the Mueller investigation a "witch hunt". Russia has denied meddling in the election though U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded Moscow interfered. Mueller has also brought indictments against 12 Russian intelligence officers in the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails.
Cohen's plea deal includes a possible sentence of up to five years and three months in prison, Judge William Pauley III said during the hearing. Pauley scheduled sentencing for December 12 and set bail at $500,000.
Cohen, who worked as Trump's personal attorney at the Trump Organization, continued to advise the president after the election, but their relationship has frayed in recent months.
Mueller's investigation, which began in May 2017, has resulted in the indictment of more than 30 people and five guilty pleas.

It is hard to believe that all of the five works included in this edition were previously unknown to musicians. So there are in fact unknown works by Beethoven for singers to discover! The five short vocal works for several voices are ideally meant to be sung by soloists accompanied by piano obbligato. There are three Serenades (Nos. 1–3) and two original arrangements of extremely well-known choral compositions, namely the "Bundeslied" op. 122 and the "Opferlied" op. 121b.

Q: Change TestListener for Unitils DbUnitModule I am attempting to use Unitils to assist me in Database testing. I would like to use the Unitils/DBMaintain functionality for disabling constraints. However there is a few problems with this. I do not wish to use DBMaintain to create my databases for me however I wish to use its constraint disabling functionality. I was able to achieve this through the use of a custom module listed below:
public class DisableConstraintModule implements Module {

     private boolean disableConstraints = false;

     public void afterInit() {
         if (disableConstraints) {
             DatabaseUnitils.disableConstraints();
         }
     }

     public void init(Properties configuration) {
         disableConstraints = PropertyUtils.getBoolean("Database.disableConstraints", false, configuration);
     }
}

This partially solves what I want however I wish to be able to only disable constraints for tables I will be using in my test. My tests will be running against a database with multiple schemas and each schema has hundreds of different tables. DatabaseUnitils.disableConstraints() disables the constraints for every table in every schema which would be far too time consuming and is unnecessary.
Upon searching the dbmaintain code I found that the Db2Database class does indeed contain a function for disabling constraints on a specific schema and table name basis however this method is protected. I could access this be either extending the Db2Database class or using reflection.
Next I need to be able to determine which schemas and tables I am interested in. I could do this by observing the @DataSet annotation to determine which schemas and tables are important based on what is in the xml. In order to do this I need to override the TestListener so I can instruct it to disable the constraints using the xml before it attempts to insert the dataset. This was my attempt at this:
public class DisableConstraintModule extends DbUnitModule {

    private boolean disableConstraints = false;

    private TableBasedConstraintsDisabler disabler;

    public void afterInit() {
    }

    public void init(Properties configuration) {
        disableConstraints = PropertyUtils.getBoolean("Database.disableConstraints", false, configuration);

        PropertyUtils.getInstance("org.unitils.dbmaintainer.structure.ConstraintsDisabler.implClassName", configuration);
    }

    public void disableConstraintsForDataSet(MultiSchemaDataSet dataSet) {
        disabler.disableConstraints(dataSet);
    }

    protected class DbUnitCustomListener extends DbUnitModule.DbUnitListener {

        @Override
        public void beforeTestSetUp(Object testObject, Method testMethod) {
            disableConstraintsForDataSet(getDataSet(testMethod, testObject));
            insertDataSet(testMethod, testObject);
        }
    }

 }

This is what I would like to do however I am unable to get the @DataSet annotation to trigger my DbUnitCustomListener and instead it calls the default DBUnitModule DbUnitListener. Is there anyway for me to override which listener gets called when using the @DataSet annotation or is there a better approach all together for disabling constraints on a specific schema and table level for a DB2 Database?
Thanks

A: You have to tell Unitils to use your subclass of DbUnitModule. You do this using the unitils.module.dbunit.className property in your unitils.properties file. It sounds like you've got this part figured out.
The second part is to override DbUnitModule's getTestListener() in order to return your custom listener.
See this post for an example.

The Journey of Community Employment
The Transformation to Competitive Employment Act
"I thought employment was for everyone else. Not for my adult child with significant disabilities." Non-profit providers of employment support, like SEEC, hear this concern every day. We know that the power of low expectations can be the most intractable barrier to employment for those with significant disabilities. When opportunities are limited to the four walls of a sheltered workshop and a paycheck of pennies on the dollar, it can be difficult to see beyond that system. Time and again we witness the success that individualized support for community employment can bring, but this success is only possible if the systems in place have the capacity and technical capability to make it happen.
The Transformation to Competitive Employment Act (H.R.873/S.260) was introduced in January and is currently being debated by lawmakers in the Senate and House of Representatives. The bill is designed to build capacity and improve the disability employment support system of states and the service providers within those state systems. The bill is also intended to create an environment which increases opportunities for competitive integrated employment for people with disabilities.
The main focus areas of the legislation include:
State Capacity Building: The bill establishes a state grant program to support competitive
integrated employment and transition away from subminimum wage for people with disabilities.
Provider Transformation: The legislation proposes a grant program for those currently certified to offer subminimum wage in order to transition their business models to support individuals with disabilities into competitive integrated employment.
Technical Assistance: The bill establishes a national technical assistance center to support
states and providers across the country in making this transformation.
Holistic Support: The legislation formalizes the use of "wraparound" services which supplement
employment hours to support an individual's integration and community participation when they are not working.
According to David Mank, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at Indiana University, "The Transformation to Competitive Employment Act builds on the provisions of the 2014 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and the resulting recommendations issued in 2016 by an advisory committee created by this law. The Advisory Committee for Increasing Competitive Integrated Employment for Individuals with Disabilities was created by Congress as part of the provisions of WIOA. . . The Committee recommended the well-designed phase-out, over time, of the use of sub-minimum wages in conjunction with capacity building at the local level to deliver competitive integrated employment, one person at a time."1
In reality, success is a journey and not a destination. It is only witnessed through each individual story. While we see this success every day at SEEC, we know that often the only experience that matters is yours and those you love. Click below to read more about the journeys of two adults with significant disabilities supported by SEEC. Both of these young men experienced an uncertain future due to their disabilities and intense support needs, but both have found success on their own terms.

The most important design detail of icons used in operating system Windows Vienna, structural differences of Vienna, Vista and XP graphics, recommendations to creation Vienna type icons.
Graphics, that appear in a newly released Windows Vienna are mostly like Windows Vista icons. They are designed using identical construction and guidelines.
So, what is Vienna icon? Vienna icon - is an icon created in aero style (style of Windows Vienna GUI). Major alterations in icons' appearance can be noticed in Windows Vista and Vienna interface at a glance. A distinctive detail of Windows Vista and Vienna GUI is new icons, designed in a more strict but still and more beautiful way. Glass highlights and reserved colours make icons appealing for eyes, not annoying in continuous work and multiple viewing.
Style is more realistic but still not photorealistic. Since icons are intuitive images and not images of specific items, in interface they look even better than photos.
Overlayed images show what program the object is assigned to.
Toolbar icons have fewer details and look more flat for optimizing under smaller size.
Icons have biggest size 256 x 256 and it makes them useable for high resolution screens. To display icons on such screens in scaled size, saving the quality, large images are needed.
Standard icons in Windows Vienna consist of five resolutions - 256 x 256, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, and 16 x 16 px. If icons are used for menu, toolbar or compact pictograms only, largest size is not needed.
Microsoft states that interim sizes between 256 x 256 and 32 x 32 are not necessary for Windows Vienna and Windows Vista, because PNG files used in these icons can be scaled with no perversion from 256 x 256 to 32 x 32. With smaller sizes, automatic alterations of resolution deliver the picture of poor quality, so a separate 16 x 16 image is needed. Programs of resolution changes unfortunately are not flawless and its better to include 48x48 size into your icons to avoid distortion.
If you need the pictogram to be fully compatible with not only Windows 7 but older Windows versions as well, you will need to make the icon containing corresponding images (each - with three levels of colour depth).
We do not recommend to put 24 x 24 size into your graphics (except toolbar), because this size is not required. Moreover, the icon containing this size, is hard to be compliant with Windows 98 and Windows 2000.
Windows Vienna understands 32-bits icons in which 24 bits are dedicatedto image and 8 bits by transparency channel.
This allows icons to present semitransparent details and sleek edges, no matter of the background they are at.
If you need your icons to look fine all the time, in situation of video driver failure for example, you will require 8-bit and 4-bit depths (with 256 or even 16 colours only).
Plain or angled overlaying of a second item in the icon is determined on what both the item and the icon mean. Its difficult to give more detailed recommendation in this situation, you just have to be lead by the experience and analyze the way the icon is comprehended, also if it is in a combination of icons.
Vienna-type icons usually have an outline. Its not so clearly visible as in XP-style and is not always used. Outline is nesessery to make possible understanding of an icon, regardless the background it is placed at. Outline may be used only a part of an icon always following the design of an image securing its reality.
Use of PNG compression is a critical point as it makes 256x256 image non-useable with Windows XP and earlier releases (only smaller size images will be shown).
PNG-algorithm is used in icons for images 256x256 px only. The compression does not affect the quality and file is reduced in about 4 times when transparency channel is enabled and picture is perfectly scale.
To get the icon completely compliant with Windows XP, 256x256 resolution in the icon must be saved uncompressed. You can always add or discharge the compression, this will not affect the quality. Size of the icon with non-compressed images containing all standard formats will be about 400 Kb.
To get a professional appearance of a software, Microsoft suggests you to modify the look of your mostly viewed icons, with aero style. It is also suggested to make a new design of all icons presented in Start menu and Explorer (including icons showing type of a file). It is suggested not to apply any icons in Windows 9x and older version style, in programs running under Windows Vienna.
Imaging your program with the most convenient interface, in Vienna appearance, with individual icons that completely show program's functions and tasks due to appropriate metaphors, they make you to use the application just because it's a pleasure to see it. Graphics created in a style that will definitely be another world standard.
You could ask: "Where do I order these perfect icons, at a reasonable price and not just similar ones but real Vienna icons?"
Perfect Toolbar Icons is a set of pre-made icons for use in commercial and private programs and web-pages. All icons have a balanced color scheme, sleek and well-rounded borders. A variety of formats and sizes is provided.
Beautify your financial or business-oriented software with readily available professional Business Toolbar Icons. Over two hundred of professionally designed and neatly crafted icons representing various financial objects and symbols are provided.

American Wind uses 3D printing from 3D Systems' On Demand Manufacturing service, Quickparts, to defy 'bigger is better' argument for wind turbines.
Robert Yost can identify with Nikola Tesla, the genius inventor who advocated AC to Thomas Edison's DC electrical power. Like Tesla, Yost has a lofty vision: Using very small turbines called MicroCubes to transform the process of turning wind into electricity.
Yost's inspiration stemmed from a force of nature – a tornado that passed through northern Alabama in Spring 2011.
"My wife and I were sitting on our outdoor deck after the storm and the wind was spinning a pedestal fan like a top," says Yost. "She wanted to know why we couldn't harness electrical power from something as small as the pedestal fan."
Yost's background working for major aerospace companies such as Boeing, GE Aircraft Engines and Pratt and Whitney gave him the practical skill to follow through on the idea of a small wind turbine. He formed American Wind in February 2012 to fulfill his vision.
A major ally in Yost's quest is 3D Systems' cloud-based manufacturing service, Quickparts, which is also doing something few said could be done even half a decade ago: Manufacturing 3D-printed plastic parts and assemblies that are indistinguishable in strength, durability and flexibility to injection-molded production parts, but which can be produced in a quarter of the time.
"We've established a very good relationship between American Wind and 3D Systems Quickparts," says Yost. "3D printing allows American Wind to experiment with the right configuration for the overall design. We have made more than 20 different versions of this MicroCube, each improving upon the last.
American Wind's Microcube is a 9x9x9-inch turbine that can generate power in wind speeds as slow as one mile-per-hour or as fast as 80 mph or more. It has multiple airfoils to capture more of the wind flow through the unit, improving the torque needed to generate power.
Yost isn't the first to experiment with a miniature wind turbine or even the first to combine multiple small turbines to generate greater electrical power. The difference is the design of the airfoils in the patented MicroCube and the efficiency of the electrical generator in turning out three-phase AC power.
"Other options don't work because they don't produce the amount of electricity that our unit generates," says Yost. "A U.S. patent examiner told us there has never been a generator created with the characteristics of the MicroCube. That type of efficiency makes all the difference."
The 3D printing process and use of materials with specific qualities related to a product's functional needs enables American Wind to trim days, even weeks, off product development times. Quickparts can produce high-quality, durable, fully testable parts directly from CAD files with no tooling required.
"Quickparts enables us to use 3D printing to explore what works and what doesn't work on a production part," says Yost. "We can make multiple changes and print those changes without investing thousands of dollars in molds or machining parts out of expensive materials.
"We were able to short-circuit the process from concept to design to prototype to low-rate production in one quarter of the time it would have taken with a more traditional design-to-manufacture process."
DuraForm polyamide (PA) output is used for most of the assemblies. It is ideal for parts requiring superior surface finish and fine details.
DuraForm glass-filled (GF) is used for the generator units due to the increased strength of the material and high heat resistance. It can handle temperatures up to 135°C for extended periods of time, according to 3D Systems.
DuraForm HST Composite is used for the wind turbine blades because of its high stiffness and thermal resistance.
Designing a smaller MicroCube case for more efficient 3D-print manufacturing.
Improving assembly processes and functionality for the stator, the stationary portion of the generator.
Defining multiple magnets and clearance requirements between rotor and stator.
Optimizing wire routing within the case and between stators.
Determining optimum material use among the stators, rotors and bearings.
Maximizing spool configuration and assembly processes for the magnetic wire that creates electricity.
"Quickparts is how most of my designs are validated," says Yost. "After the designs are completed, we use Quickparts' cloud-based quoting process to determine cost and feasibility of the design. Once we find the optimum design/cost comparison, we can easily turn the manufacturing over to Quickparts."
The collaboration between American Wind and Quickparts has enabled both parties to become more efficient in material choices and manufacturing processes, according to David Fisher, a project manager for Quickparts.
"Robert has gotten to the point where he is basically setting up his own builds in the SLS machine, grouping individual files into a cluster of one part," says Fisher. "We had discussions on where certain geometries will work best in the build chamber; like round rings should be centered in the build chamber for best results and stacked parts should be staggered to help with heat dissipation. Information about build chamber size allows Robert to maximize available space when designing parts."
The first object to be transformed by American Wind's MicroCube is a Ford C-Max Energi electric car. American Wind has installed four MicroCubes on the roof of the car, generating 2,800 watts per hour to keep its lithium-ion battery charged while driving. Yost's goal is to travel across the United States and back without ever plugging in the car's battery for a recharge.
During his journey Yost will also demonstrate what he calls a Wind Wall, an assembly of MicroCubes that could be placed in housing or industrial environments to generate power more efficiently without littering the environment with huge wind turbines.
With new designs in hand and his partially wind-powered car poised to take off across the U.S., Yost is raring to take on doubters and fulfill his mission of creating a cost-effective power alternative that doesn't deplete precious natural resources.
"Yes, I've heard all the critics state that this is perpetual motion, which can't be done," he says. "We also hear that wind turbines cannot produce enough energy in such a small form factor as the MicroCube. We are not breaking any physics laws with the MicroCube, but we are pushing the limits of what is known today. And we have the test results to prove it works."
When asked why he is the one taking on this challenge, Yost offers a simple answer worthy of Tesla: "If I don't do it, who will?"


Someone ought to know the fundamental forms before engaging in a small business situation to stop potential troubles. Combined with the types of software testing services mentioned previously, there are numerous different forms that software testing providers will offer to QA teams. The best and most typical instance of such kind of logo is Nike. The analysis tools works extremely well for deciphering both internal and external information on a specific small company organization. Financial analysis tool may be used for SWOT analysis. Financial analysis tools are on the list of absolute most helpful methods you'll manage to ensure decent benefit from your investments.

Introducing Dawn Gruss, CMS's New Interim Principal
Posted on July 29, 2011 December 31, 2011 by CSD Spotlight
As we recently announced, the school board has appointed Dawn Gruss as Colchester Middle School's interim principal for the 2011–2012 school year.
A number of people in the community participated in the open forum on July 19 and heard Dawn speak to her professional experience and qualifications, so here we will introduce her more conversationally ahead of the start of the school year. Grab a cup of coffee and meet Dawn!
Asked why she pursued the position, Dawn said that she has always had an acute interest in education at the middle school level because it is such an amazing time for students of that age. She said that she considers it an honor and an energizing challenge to serve as principal. She is excited to get to know the students, parents, faculty, and staff and to develop meaningful and authentic relationships with them. She feels strongly that all of the work educators do hinges upon these meaningful relationships.
Dawn plans to align her administrative goals with the themes outlined by the superintendent in his recommendations for Colchester Middle School as was reported here on June 28—namely, leadership, climate, instruction, time, and strategy. She believes that forward movement in these areas will ultimately allow us to begin to close achievement gaps and take the necessary steps toward meeting adequate yearly progress, or AYP.
Dawn's expectations are high. Knowing that we have a capable student body, faculty, and staff, she will look for deep levels of student engagement and a sense of belonging at CMS. In addition, she wants CMS's learning opportunities to extend beyond competency in the core subjects to include themes of financial, entrepreneurial, civic, health, and environmental literacy and also of global awareness, and she feels strongly that the rise of the Common Core State Standards Initiative will be a powerful force in realizing this vision.
Asked how the community can best support her in her role at CMS, Dawn says that she is most receptive to the support of others when it is offered in a way that focuses upon the positive—whether it is a conversation about how something could be done more effectively in the future or just in letting the staff at CMS know when things are going well.
Asked about her plans to foster community collaboration and involvement and the ways in which she plans to assimilate into the CSD community, Dawn said that she wants to maintain an open-door policy with the community and that she will actively work to create an environment in which people are free to offer their input—particularly about ways in which we can maximize our resources. She feels that cultivating a collaborative learning environment with community involvement—both face-to-face and online—is critical in ensuring student mastery of twenty-first-century skills.
Lastly, Dawn wishes the community to know that she is passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of children, understanding that we owe our students nothing less than a high-quality education. Taking inspiration from Gandhi's quote, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world," she is committed to focusing upon the positive as she assumes the helm at CMS.

Primer Series: An Introduction to PowerSchool—Part II
Posted on July 27, 2011 by CSD Spotlight
Recently, we talked a bit about Colchester School District's PowerSchool data management system—specifically a bit about the type of information it manages and a bit about the Parent Portal component. (See Part I of the PowerSchool primer here.)
As a continuation of that article, let's talk a bit about the costs associated with PowerSchool and the security measures in place to protect all of that data, as well as how it integrates with another important system we use at CSD.
PowerSchool came with an upfront purchase price of $31,000. In addition, Colchester School District pays $10,000 annually for ongoing maintenance and licensing agreements, part of which includes security upgrades that are engineered and deployed by the software company that developed it. As with most data, it is important to carefully guard it. The information stored and tracked within PowerSchool is protected by multiple layers of security measures. Password-protected, person-level permissions and security groups—all of which have different levels of security associated with them—are employed. Additionally, different user groupings (for example, parents, teachers, and administrators) are allowed access to different parts of the system for additional security, and a number of other measures are also employed to ensure that the information is safeguarded.
The district's PowerSchool and AlertNow! applications have been programmed to synchronize nightly so that any information updated in AlertNow!—which is one of the district's notification systems—will automatically update PowerSchool's matching records within a twenty-four-hour period, effectively removing the duplication of effort and ensuring consistency of the data.

Primer Series: An Introduction to PowerSchool—Part I
Ever wonder how Colchester School District manages its student-related data? Did you know that parents of some students can now view their children's grades online?
PowerSchool, a student data management software system, was purchased and implemented last summer. It is designed to function as a collaborative environment for teachers, students, and parents. In addition to the state census and other required data stored in PowerSchool—as well as the reports and letters that can be generated from within it—it also tracks such data as scholastic records, attendance, health records, demographics, scheduling, disciplinary records, transportation information, and much, much more.
Perhaps most importantly for parents, there is a component called Parent Portal that enables parents to log in and view their children's real-time grades for any subject at any time. Parents can also use Parent Portal to register to receive alert notifications, review daily comments from teachers, track their children's homework assignments, and so on.
Colchester High School launched the Parent Portal component at the start of the third quarter of the 2010–2011 school year; it is available directly through CHS's website and by visiting ps.csdvt.org/public/. Colchester Middle School also recently launched the Parent Portal component; parents can log in through a link on CMS's website or by visiting ps.csdvt.org/public/.
Because Union Memorial School, Porters Point School, and Malletts Bay School employ a different format for grading than that used by PowerSchool, there are no immediate plans to roll out the Parent Portal component for them. It is, however, a goal for the future.
Stay tuned for more information about PowerSchool coming up soon—including its costs and information about how the data stored within the system is protected.

Primer Series: Emergent Literacy
Earlier this year, we wrote an article about Union Memorial School's Readers' Teas to celebrate successes with their emergent reading program. In that article, we described briefly what emergent reading is; here, as part of our Primer Series, let's delve a bit further into what emergent reading is and why it is important.
Simply put, research in the areas of child development, psychology, education, and linguistics indicates that children begin acquiring language skills from birth—and they begin acquiring reading and writing skills well before they are able to read and write in the conventional sense. In essence, children gradually develop literacy starting from the very beginnings of their lives rather than later on as was previously believed—and this research serves to challenge assumptions about reading and writing and also the methods by which children have been taught to read and write in the past.
An important concept in emergent literacy is that all parts of language—speaking, listening, reading, writing, and viewing—are interrelated. As such, reading and writing skills develop concurrently—and that development is a process through which children travel in different stages and at different ages.
As a simple example, an emergent reader may begin by learning to enjoy story time with his or her caregivers and by learning to differentiate between books and toys. From there, he or she will learn to turn pages or move parts of the books, responding to the story and pictures by pointing and vocalizing. As his or her comprehension increases, the emergent reader begins to develop concepts about the words using clues from the pictures. From there, he or she begins to focus upon reading words by drawing upon knowledge of phonics and repetitive word recognition. It is through this type of gradual process that many children learn about reading and writing.
Emergent reading is important because children who find reading enjoyable will pursue it even if the material is challenging to them. Furthermore, frequent readers tend to develop richer vocabularies. Since studies have demonstrated that vocabulary largely predicts reading comprehension and overall academic achievement, children with such vocabularies are typically shown to be at a significant educational advantage.
These theories surrounding literacy skills acquisition have significantly altered the old-school methods of teaching reading, which therefore impacts the overall educational process. If you are interested in learning more about CSD's emergent reading programs, please contact Union Memorial School or Porters Point School.

Primer Series: No Child Left Behind Act—Part II
Yesterday, we introduced the first installment of a primer about the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. Let's continue with that discussion in this installment by analyzing some of NCLB's pros and cons.
Because schools in states receiving federal funding for education are required to administer standardized tests on an annual basis, the results of which are then analyzed to determine academic achievement, proponents of NCLB point to enhanced accountability for schools and teachers. They support the perceived increased transparency of the education system under NCLB, since school districts are now required to provide parents with detailed information explaining adequate yearly progress (AYP). AYP is the measurement defined by the NCLB Act used to determine schools' academic performance based upon the standardized tests. Furthermore, parents and taxpayers can now access school performance data more readily and have measurable, quantifiable data through which they can assess their school's performance compared to others locally and nationally. Proponents also feel that the law provides resources to schools regardless of wealth, ethnicities and/or disabilities of students, or other similar factors. They believe that it also helps to close the gaps between disadvantaged subgroups and the mainstream student population.
In spite of all of these potentially positive outcomes, opponents of NCLB point to a host of problems with the law. For starters, although NCLB was significantly underfunded at the state level when it was first signed into law, states nevertheless risked punitive action if they were unable to comply with all of its provisions. While NCLB did not really force the huge budget cuts we so often hear about, it did prioritize where districts put dollars. It also resulted in some districts adding additional positions, such as reading and math specialists. These resulting different priorities as a result of NCLB have become contributing factors in education budgeting concerns.
Opponents also point out that NCLB creates a focus upon students merely scoring well on standardized testing rather than upon meaningful, long-term learning. In order to meet the provisions under the law, many teachers nationwide end up narrowing their scope of instruction. And because the states are charged with developing their own standardized tests as a means of assessment, they have the incentive to institute low standards and create easier tests in order to disguise poor performance if they so choose. Because the law's response can include imposing punitive measures on the school if the school fails to make AYP, the incentives are to set expectations lower rather than higher and to manipulate test results. This, of course, would serve to lower the overall academic standards for the nation's students rather than raising them. There have even been a multitude of documented cases in which schools have cheated on standardized tests in order to raise scores—most recently in the states of Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Furthermore, while NCLB focuses upon reading, writing, and mathematics, it ignores other subjects like history, arts, and foreign language. In a similar vein, many opponents argue that students with disabilities or limited proficiency in English are at an unfair disadvantage with the standardized tests, which in turn can adversely affect the standing of the entire school. Moreover, using standardized testing as the sole measure of performance means that schools demonstrating significant progress but not achieving an acceptable level of proficiency are still labeled as substandard.
There is a provision in NCLB that is designed to recognize schools making significant progress in student achievement even if they are not making AYP. This provision is called Safe Harbor. Safe Harbor can be achieved through acceptable attendance and graduation rates and if less than 15 percent of students' test results are in the lowest proficiency level—which, in CSD's case, means scoring a Level 1 on NECAP tests—in every subgroup. There must also be at least 10 percent growth in the subgroups not making the annual measurable objective (AMO). On a similar note, because each AMO is a target number with a confidence band—which is essentially the standard deviation range—schools within that confidence band can make AYP.
And what of other challenges faced by public schools that directly affect academic achievement but are not a result of deficiencies in education? Many areas of the country, particularly those in remote, rural areas or in inner-city regions, have significant teacher shortages. Factors like students facing hunger and homelessness and/or a lack of access to health care, as well as an array of cultural and behavior considerations, can also adversely affect student performance. Class size and the physical environments of the schools themselves can also detract from the quality of education that teachers can provide. Issues such as these can adversely impact standardized test scores, and they are not issues that even highly qualified teachers can rectify.
With this sampling of the pros and cons surrounding NCLB, it is clear that while the act has far-reaching implications for education, the overall benefits of it are far from certain.

Primer Series: No Child Left Behind Act—Part I
As promised in an earlier post, we're introducing various education-related topics as a series of primers. In this one, let's talk about No Child Left Behind.
The federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, which was proposed and eventually signed into law by President George W. Bush, has dramatically impacted numerous facets of the educational system—including those here in Colchester School District. As such, it is worthy of a primer series in order to help clarify and explain what NCLB is and how it has changed the way we educate our students.
NCLB, which was signed into law in 2002, was designed with the belief that public education could be improved through setting higher standards and by establishing observable and quantifiable results. While NCLB does not determine or enforce a national achievement standard, it requires each state to establish such standards and to develop basic skills assessments in order to receive federal funding. In Vermont—and thus here at CSD—we use the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) tests, which are also administered in New Hampshire and Rhode Island. (We have already published articles that touch on NECAP during our discussions about each school's contribution to the 2011 Annual Report that was presented to the school board. For a recap of that information and/or about each school's contribution to the annual report, please visit here for CHS, here for CMS, here for MBS, here for PPS, and here for UMS.)
The various provisions and requirements of NCLB are somewhat complicated, but as a simple summary, any state receiving federal funding for public schools must assess all students using the same standardized test for all public schools within that state. The schools' test results are used to determine the quality of education the students received.
If a school's performance is determined to be unsatisfactory as the result of these standardized tests, a number of consequences ranging in severity come into play depending upon the amount of time the performance has been deemed in need of improvement. These consequences range from the development of two-year improvement plans to mandatory free tutoring. Further action against schools identified as underperforming might even include such things as the complete replacement of its staff, lengthening of the school year, or instituting a brand-new curriculum. In other cases, a school may even be closed or taken over by a private or state agency.
NCLB has been highly controversial since its enactment, mostly because, while everyone agrees that education is important, the means by which improvement in the educational system is achieved are highly complex and multifaceted, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the numerous challenges that educators face.
So that is a bit of background about what the No Child Left Behind Act is and what it requires. Because this is a complex topic, it will require more than just this article to discuss it even in summary form. As such, please stay tuned for the next installment continuing our conversation about NCLB, including supporters' and opponents' positions and some of the act's impacts upon public education.

Latest attacks on Cape public transport a violation of commuter rights
Statement by Donald Grant, Minister of Transport and Public Works
Yesterday's attacks on public transport infrastructure have caused unnecessary disruptions in the public transport network, and resulted in delays of service. The first of these attacks happened shortly after 14h00 yesterday when a 9-meter MyCiTi bus was torched, allegedly by a group of young people, along Freedom Way in Joe Slovo. The bus was said to have been operating along feeder route 261 when it was set alight and destroyed.
The second incident occurred later in the day, specifically targeting Metrorail, when an apparatus case was vandalised and destroyed, affecting service on the central line this morning. The equipment was reportedly damaged near Bontheuwel.
I join the City of Cape Town, Metrorail, and Cape Town residents in condemning these acts in the strongest terms. The thousands of commuters that rely on public transport daily must not be held ransom by the actions of a few criminals who have a brazen disregard for the law and the needs of others. Such acts are a violation of commuter rights and have an adverse effect on the economy of the region. By no logic can the destruction of transport infrastructure be in the best interests of commuters.
Their acts of sabotage against MyCiTi and Metrorail are an attack on the State and its agents. The consequences for these acts must be in line with the severity of the crimes committed. SAPS must act vigilantly to apprehend these perpetrators and bring them to justice.
I urge anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of these criminals to contact the South African Police Services (SAPS).
My department maintains a close working relationship with the City of Cape Town, Metrorail, and our other public transport partners to mitigate the disastrous effects of these acts of sabotage. We will continue to provide assistance where possible, in keeping with our objective to support our public transport partners in their efforts to provide safe and reliable public transport in this province.
Spokesperson for the Minister of Transport and Public Works, Donald Grant

Post-Asymptotic giant branch (post-ABG) sources with high-velocity spectral features of H2O maser emission detected toward their circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) are known as Water Fountain (WF) nebulae. These are low- or intermediate-mass Galactic stellar sources that are undergoing the late stages of an intense mass-loss process. The velocity and the spatial distribution of the H2O maser spectral features can provide information about the kinematics of the molecular gas component of their CSEs. Hence, observational studies toward WF nebulae could help to better understand the formation of the asymmetric structures (hundred to thousand AUs) commonly seen toward Planetary nebulae (PNe). Here we present preliminary results of observations done toward the WF IRAS 15445-5449 using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Very Large Telescope (SINFONI/VLT). Assuming that the pumping of the H2O maser transitions is a consequence of shocks between different velocity winds, the spatial distribution of the emission shed light on the scales of the regions affected by the propagation of the shock-fronts.
