We strongly advise all students to check with colleges and universities, before applying, to verify that the courses and programs you want are being offered.
Different campuses also offer different experiences and atmospheres. Some will provide a more liberal atmosphere and others a more conservative atmosphere. Students should reflect on this aspect of educational life before accepting any offer.
The University of Arizona: The Freedom Center at provides students with a three course sequence in the philosophy of freedom. UA has a top ranked philosophy department and students will find faculty there interested in liberty as a topic of study.
Claremont McKenna College: The Salvatori Center's mission is to "develop close relations between students and scholars." They host a regular speaker series and students can become research assistants and fellows at the institute.
Rockford College: The Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship's mission is "to achieve excellence in teaching and research in Business Ethics, Entrepreneurship, Political Economy, and related fields." This center offers three core courses with an additional four supporting courses offered from other departments and faculty.
University of Illinois, Springfield: Earn a Master's Degree with a focus in Liberty Studies at the University of Illinois at Springfield. For over 30 years the Department of Liberal and Integrative Studies has offered students the opportunity to formulate their own degree plan and name their own degree. A brief list of courses on liberty include: Radical Capitalism, Philosophy of Business, Liberty Studies, Liberty Struggles, and Social Philosophy. This degree is also offered completely online.
Hillsdale College: The Economics and Business Administration Department's mission includes "A consistent free-market approach to economics and business distinguishes the Department's faculty, curriculum, and other course content from typical college programs." The Economics faculty offer a host of courses including Austrian Economics, Law and Economics, and Constitutional Political Economy to name a few.
Bellevue College: The Center for American Vision and Values conducts the Kirkpatrick Signature Series. This series consists of three senior-level seminar style capstone courses: American Vision and Values, Tradition and Change, and Freedom and Responsibility.
Grove City College: Economics Department and Center for Vision and Values . The economics department is probably one of a handful that teaches Austrian economics. The chair, Dr. Jeffrey Herbener is a senior fellow at the Mises Institute. The Center for Vision and Values focuses on "Advancing Freedom with Christian Scholarship". The Center regularly hosts The American Founders Luncheon Series as well as other events. The department offers research fellowships through the center, a senior writing prize on freedom and has hosted an annual undergraduate Austrian Student Scholars Conference (at least through 2009).
St. Vincent College: The Center for Political and Economic Thought has fellows and staff who also teach regularly at the college. While the Center does not offer specific classes, it seems a fair bet that ideas on liberty make their way into the professors' classes. This center also offers scholarship and internship opportunities for undergraduate students.
Clemson University: The Clemson Institute for the Study of Capitalism lists the "(d)evelopment of courses that will explore the moral, constitutional, legal, economic and political foundations of a free society" as part of it's mission.
The University of Virginia: The Program in Philosophy, Policy, and Law is an undergraduate major "provides undergraduate students with an opportunity to pursue intensive study of the connections between political philosophy and legal theory, legal thought and historical change, law and public policy." Here students will have plenty of opportunities to learn about liberty while being thoroughly challenged in the process.
Wheeling Jesuit University: The Institute for the Study of Capitalism and Morality offers a Political & Economic Philosophy major as well as a student fellows program and essay competition.

AFF: Fighting The Winnable War
Smut Magazines
Looking back over the battles fought against those who finance and promote perversion in this country we are astonished by the successes we have seen. Every company we have listed in our newsletter, not some or most but EVERY company, have cancelled ads in Playboy and Penthouse magazines.
National and international companies like Budget Renta-Car, Westpac and Commonwealth Banks, American Express, Sunbeam Appliances, Qantas, Nissan (see p 4) and Toyota just to name a few. The largest retailers in this nation have also removed these smut sheets from their shelves because of our readers actions. Smut television networks produce a TV show for only one reason, to sell it to the advertisers. When the advertisers refuse to purchase ad time, the shows are dropped in the rubbish bin (where they probably belong).
AFF's nationwide letter writing campaigns and organised boycotts have proven to be very effective. Major national and international advertisers like Coca Cola, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Shell Oil, Just Jeans, Nissan, Hungry Jack's, David Jones Dept Stores, Target Stores, Honda, Apple Computers and too many others to mention have responded to our letters and removed ads from offensive and pornographic TV programming.
Several programmes, series and ads have all been cancelled. We even succeeded in banning X Rated material from Pay TV in Australia, a world first! Smut legislation AFF's PROJECT CHOICE legislation has been so well received that no retailer in Tasmania can display Penthouse magazine as they had for years. It is now illegal in Victoria to publicly display pornographic magazines or posters. Now that Goss was tossed in Queensland similar sensible laws will soon be passed prohibiting the smut pedlars from having unrestricted access to children in the Sunshine State. Several cities have begun PORN FREE zones. As we keep on in this 'winnable war' the entire nation of Australia will protect its small children from dangerous exposure to degrading pornographic imagery. Don't even try to tell us it cannot be done, we are busy doing it !!!

George Samra
Brooklyn Technical High School
Colonial Funeral Homes- Owner John A. Cutaio NJ Lic. No. 2763 - Brick
Lakewood - George Samra, 83, passed away peacefully at his home in Lakewood, NJ on May 8, 2021 surrounded by his wife Margaret of 62 years and their loving family. He was born in 1937 in Brooklyn, NY to parents who had emigrated from Syria and Lebanon.
An enterprising hard worker from an early age, George's first job was selling shoes door to door with his grandfather at ten years old. He sold newspapers and shone shoes for World War II soldiers. He later worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard busing tables.
George graduated from the prestigious Brooklyn Technical High School in 1955 and was hired to work as a draftsman for Bell Laboratories in Manhattan. In 1962, he was transferred to the new Bell Laboratories in Holmdel and moved his young family to Brick Township, NJ.
The first-non-college graduate to be promoted to Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories in 1978, George was so highly regarded and essential in his department that, after his retirement, management requested that he return as a consultant. In all, he worked for Bell Laboratories for 43 years.
George served as an Airman in the Air Force Reserve in the 903rd Combat Support Squadron and was prepared for deployment to the Cuban Missile Crisis, until the confrontation was resolved. For many years, he was a volunteer member of the Laurelton Fire Company, where he served as Assistant Chief. At Saint Dominic Church, George was a founding parishioner and devout congregant.
After retirement, George traveled the world with his beloved wife Margaret and their many dear friends, some of whom they had known since their childhood in Brooklyn. They moved to Four Seasons in Lakewood, NJ and also enjoyed time in their home in Vero Beach, FL. George and Marge were married for 62 years.
George enjoyed many hobbies including carpentry, bicycling, boating and golf. His favorite times, however, were those he shared with his family, especially his adoring grandchildren. His greatest legacy is his family.
George is survived by his wife Margaret Kelly Samra, his daughter Catherine Samra Smith and her husband Perry, of Manasquan, NJ; his daughter Teresa Samra Rose and her husband Robert of Brick, NJ; his son George Samra and his wife Christine, of Monroe, NJ; and daughter Maureen Samra of Jacksonville, FL. He is survived by his grandchildren: Bryan Smith; Michael Smith and his partner Heather; Meaghan Smith; Kelly Rose Smith and her husband Brandon; Robert Rose and his fiancée Laura; Drew Samra Dotson; and his great grandchildren, Sawyer and Delilah Smith; by his devoted sister, Eleanor Janson and his nieces and nephews, Jennifer, Mark, George, and Christine.
A Gathering of family and friends will be held on Wednesday May 19, 2021 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Colonial Funeral Home, 2170 Hwy.88, Brick Township, NJ.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday May 20, 2021 at 10:00 am at St. Dominic's Church, Brick Township, NJ.

How do you know George Samra? (Optional)
I'm very sorry to hear about the passing Mr. Samra. My heart goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Samra and the family.
Although I haven't seen any of you in many years, I've always looked back at our time living next door to you as a wonderful part of my life.
As I have gotten older, I've come to think of Mr. Samra not just as the "fireman next door", but as someone who really sacrificed himself for the well being of our community. Thank-you.
God bless all of you, and may he live in your hearts forever.

This is such a wonderful photo of your Dad! I wrote on your mother's page, but also wanted to leave a note about your father. I have in all of my career never seen a man who handled whatever life through at him with such courage and faith. He was one of a kind and, as I said on your Mom's page, I will surely miss visiting them this year. My heart goes out to you all. With much sympathy...

Lower camera prices and higher pixel counts over the past couple of years have brought yearbook photographers out of the darkroom and into the light of computer monitors.
If you have ever wondered whether you need to learn about bar graphs, foreign capitals and Adobe InDesign for your future career as a graphic designer, be assured many companies want employees with an InDesign background.
Without deadlines, chaos would reign in the world of yearbooks. Nothing can be done to get rid of deadlines and the stress they cause. But technology can reduce the amount of time submission takes, providing more time at deadline. More time at deadline means less time being stressed.
You have heard Adobe InDesign is great and have read about the neat features. But what does all that mean for you? You need to see what this software does to understand how it fits into your yearbook of today and the ones in the future. So here is our two-dimensional effort to show some of the features of InDesign that are either unique or offer more control than PageMaker does.
Learning new skills takes time, patience and practice. And so it is with Adobe InDesign. For anyone who has used design software before, just sit down, work with it, and soon it will become second nature.
For a few months during the 2002-2003 school year, PDF stood for 'pretty darn frustrating' for Crystal Kazmierski, Christoph Sisson and 11 other advisers.


Designed for students who have taken Hip Hop Improv 101, this 8-week course will continue to develop your hip-hop improv skills with exercises designed to expand rhythm, polysyllabic rhymes, and plugging into musical archetypes. Trust your instincts and make bold choices with your hooks, while nailing the fundamentals. Improvisers will continue to hone their scene-work so raps are more focused on exploration and less focused on inventing new information. This class will expand upon scenic heightening and side support, as well as explore additional long forms that are designed to isolate skills and develop growth.

Eggedal, Norway, is an ecclesiastical division rather than a political division. It consists of the portion of Sigdal Kommune served by the Eggedal Church (Eggedal Kirke). The Eggedal Church dates back to 1878. It has undergone some restoration and updating. One of the big projects was the painting of the interior. It was done by Carsten Lien. Here are some examples of the incredible artwork he created.
There was also this piece of Whitework in the entry way.
The Olberg Church was consecrated on October 19, 1859 replacing their stave church. The pulpit was saved and it dates back to 1699. The font is from 1725. The chandelier is gilded metal from 1900.
The altar was covered with a lovely Hardanger-embroidered linen as well.
One of the important pieces of history with this church is Jorgen Moe. Beginning with the summer of 1841, Moe would travel throughout southern Norway researching folklore and collecting stories. In what seems to be almost opposite in thinking, Moe was appointed a professor of theology in 1845. He was ordained in 1853 and spent ten years serving the Olberg and Sigdal churches.
During this time there, he wrote many famous poems, like den gamle Mester (The Old Master). This was a poem about an old tree that stood near the church. It is still standing. Nordet refused to get off the bus, but wanted his picture taken with the tree.
From 1863 to 1874 he served several other parishes. In 1875 he became Bishop in the Diocese of Agder.
Moe continued to write and also published a delightful collection of stories for children. While in school, Moe met Peter Christen Asbjornsen. Together with Peter, Jorgen had a huge impact on Norwegian culture. Moe and Asbjornsen are well known for their traditional folk tales which in turn contributed to the development of the Norwegian language. To get an idea of just how large their impact was, they are like the Brothers Grimm of the German folktales.
The Holmen church is the principal church for Sigdal municipality.
The iron spire with a cross on top and a brass ball underneath was crafted in 1851 by renowned Swedish blacksmith Petter Oluf Westander. The ball has a volume of 4.5 gallons (17 liters) and it holds a soldered shrine containing the names of the master building, the vicar and members of the building committee. The pulpit and the font are adorned with wonderful carvings and were brought over to the new church. These pieces date back to the 17th century. The font was covered with a crocheted cover rather than a linen.
Everything is large in this church as shown by the altar and the high vaulted ceilings.
Nikolina found an interesting cloth in the entryway and it had a crocheted edge also.
When the church was opened November 9, 1853. Jorgen Moe wrote the closing hymn for the dedication.
A stave church is medieval-type of a structure made of wood with a beam and post construction. Many of the churches were built beginning back in the 12th century. Only a few remain. The Vatnas church was built around 1665. It is still opened by this very large key!
The altar piece and pulpit were sculpted by Christopher Ridder.
The altar was covered with a beautiful whitework piece.
The walls were originally painted in 1679. Then came a period of time that such rich color was not approved of in churches so the walls were whitewashed or painted over. Thankfully, the layers were able to be removed and the walls restored to their original glory in 1948.
The Undredal Stave Church was built in the middle of the 12th century, and originally called St. Nicholas Chapel. It has been moved around and reconstructed a few times and now has a white clapboard siding protecting the original stave construction. It is considered the smallest Norwegian Stave church, with only 40 seats, still being used for services. While under repair, services are held in a building near the church. One of the rather eerie decorations from the original church is a medieval chandelier with five carved deer heads. The collection plate was very interesting as well.
Here are some of the linens.
The altar cloth was on display along with one of the vestments.
Leif Underdal has tried to revitalize the city of Undredal. He owns the grocery store and is connected with the Undredal Stolsysteri. While many people don't attend church regularly in Norway, the churches are very important to the community. The locals are very proud of their churches.


Welcome to LaBellaCorsa, "The Beautiful Run".
I too used to be one of those women, busy with 2 kids, a career and family to organize. The thought of putting on my running shoes and heading out the door seemed not only intimidating but pure drudgery. That is ,until I caught a vision of what running could be for me…..a thirty something mom,, who was not in shape, with time constraints and a life that needed my time and attention. I started just running inside on a treadmill trying to stay motivated with just some tunes on my iphone and the hopes of getting in shape…..this was getting boring very quickly. Then I found the registration for the Niagara Falls Women's ½ marathon webpage . It was February and the thought of running 21.1km by June seemed almost impossible! However, it was then that I met my fearless running partner. She had already run a ½ marathon and I convinced her to train and run this race with me. This partnership was the turning point for me and my passion. We dutifully met weekly outside to do our training runs, week by week increasing our mileage. I was doing it, I was really doing it! Gradually I was getting in shape and feeling good – albeit stiff after every long run!! When we finally got to the race in Niagara Falls , standing in that starting corral I was overcome with tears of pride. Not the puffy head pride like "I'm better that you" , but the personal pride in myself that I had set a goal that was almost impossible for me at the time and had run my legs off to achieve it. I didn't care how long it took me to complete that race, I had won in my mind for just having the courage to train and show up! The race was windy and cold and we ran hard, finishing together with hour arms raised high as we crossed the finish line! The "runner's high" that I experienced that day after that first race was almost beyond words. I had accomplished something just for me, and I was proud of myself. As a mom, I'm often encouraging my kids and being proud of them. Supporting my husband and my family to be their best. But it had been a long time since I had done something purely for me, that I could say I worked hard, I earned this and I feel great!
Since that race I haven't stopped running. I run races to PR, I run races just to see the race course (DisneyWorld ½) and I run all winter outside, just because I enjoy the challenge and the scenery. Running for me has become a passion, but not because I'm an elite runner, placing or winning medals in my age category. I'm passionate about this sport because it has made me a better person. The complexity of putting on shoes and running is, as any runner will tell you, more between the ears than just logging the miles. Running is organic in its nature but it takes courage, commitment and willpower. If you let it, however, it can be transformative. Most women can run, given support, time, encouragement and training. I hope that I can be a cheerleader, a training partner and an enthusiastic guide to help women find their place in this growing sport.
Women, especially moms, need to be healthy. Not just for themselves but also for the ones who depend on them.So why running?????
Running is efficient , I run 2x per week for 30min then a long run on the weekends. I don't have time to spend hours at a gym or on exercise equipment.
Running is portable, I can run anywhere – last year I ran in Whistler, B.C on holidays and got lost….but I'll save that story for another bog post about planning your routes wisely!!!
Running can be social, my training partner and I literally talk for hours as we run 18,20, 24km!
Running for me is fun and I hope I can make it fun for other women and moms.

Vegetarian, Vegan, Activist, Radical: Social Identity And Farmed Animal Advocacy
Support for factory farmed animals can be predicted by one's social identity as well as different motivational factors, resulting in a diverse spectrum of profiles.
EXTERNAL STUDY This is a summary of an external study.
Summary By: Jeanette Shutay | Original Study By: Thomas, E.F., Bury, S.M., Louis, W.R., et al. (2019) | Published: February 20, 2020
Photo by Mario Purisic on Unsplash
Support for factory farmed animals is driven by complex social contexts that have historically been examined in an overly simplistic manner. For example, both a vegetarian and a radical may sympathize with animals and therefore share a common ethic, but the action taken by the two personas is typically very different. A vegetarian may adopt a lifestyle choice approach (not consuming meat) while a radical may engage in political action. The purpose of this study was to examine the intersections between ethics and action, to identify personas that relate to various types of animal welfare behaviors.
The data for this study was obtained via the Mechanical Turk survey platform. The survey contained demographic questions, five Likert scale questions pertaining to psychological group membership (e.g., identification as a vegetarian, vegan, animal supporter), and 18 action-related questions (e.g., donate, purchase humane, limit meat, peaceful rallies). In addition, two measures of behavioral engagement were included in the survey. First, participants were asked to allocate $2.00 across three Mercy for Animals programs. Second, participants had an opportunity to click on a link to provide support for political legislative change and/or a link to rehouse an ex-battery farm hen. These two behavioral items were used as outcomes in which to compare the identified segments.
A total of 583 responses were obtained from North America. Of those 583 participants, only five participants were eliminated due to data validity concerns. A small majority (54.8%) of participants identified themselves as female, and the vast majority indicated that they followed an omnivore diet (85.3%). Only 6.2% indicated that they were fish and dairy vegetarians, an additional 5.9% indicated that they were vegetarians, and 2.4% indicated that they were vegans. The data were analyzed using a three-step process consisting of (1) identifying the number and type of segments, (2) determining the predictability of segment membership based on 18 self-reported attributes, and (3) comparing the segments based on the behavioral engagement component of the survey.
The results yielded three segments of participants, which were labeled as "ambivalent omnivores", "lifestyle choice activists", and "committed vegetarian radicals". When comparing activists to ambivalent omnivores, the activists were more likely to identify as vegetarians and farmed animal supporters, have solidarity with animals, justify extreme measures, and believe in radical efficacy along with general group efficacy. When comparing radicals to ambivalent omnivores, the results show that radicals were more likely to identify as vegans and farm animal supporters, to justify extreme measures, to believe in political efficacy and radical efficacy, but less likely to believe in general group efficacy. Finally, when comparing radicals to activists, radicals were surprisingly less likely to have solidarity with animals. Radicals were also less likely to believe in group efficacy, and more likely to justify extreme measures and believe in radical efficacy.
In terms of observed behaviors, the results indicate that activists and radicals donated significantly more to direct action campaigns than ambivalent omnivores. Conversely, ambivalent omnivores donated more to political campaigns. Furthermore, activists were more likely to click on the link to the bill of rights than were ambivalent omnivores. No other significant differences were found between the three groups.
The results of this study support the hypothesis that lifestyle choices and actions for justice are interconnected for many people, and radicalism and conventional political activism are not mutually exclusive. These findings can help guide animal advocacy groups with their campaign approach. For example, providing people with an opportunity to develop relevant social identities and align with relevant actions may facilitate overall engagement. Furthermore, these results may provide valuable insights for animal advocacy groups because they provide identifiable segments for animal advocacy groups to target in a more differentiated way. With that being said, the authors indicate that future research should focus on surveying a more representative sample across different cultures.

I do one recovery week per month. During this time I don't run as much as usual, take more days per week off than just one and try to stick to 100% in the low heart rate range. The only rule is to not take more than 2 consecutive days off. I've gotten so used to it, that I think I feel how my body uses this time to repair and build itself up to be a bit better … I know how ridiculous it sounds, but that OK for me … this blog is to write down what I think/feel, no matter how stupid it sounds.
Recovery week also serves another purpose and that one is huge for me. It brings the fun and enjoyment back in case I've lost it. When recovery week starts I am usually at a high, I can see improvements and that is the perfect time to stop and slow down. Like a treat. I also need to leave something in the tank and this tank gets filled up during the recovery week. Maybe it is my running mojo tank?
So today I went to the park to enjoy breaking in my new shoes while running around on rugby fields and passing by birds swimming in the lake. Just a fantastic Irish summer day – cloudy and perfect running conditions with just around 13 degree Celsius. After 1 hour at 143 heart rate and an average pace of 8:25 min/km I decided it was enough running in new shoes and headed back.


Hey, my name is Nicolas Salgado, and I am looking for the best t-shirt design for entrepreneurs/CEO's.
Have you seen a bunch of entrepreneurs and CEO's rent luxury cars just to look they are rich when they are not? That is what I want my brand to give them. I want them to be wearing something with my brand and feel the status a Ferrari gives them.
I am not creative at all, so my goal is to see the designs I like and the ones I don't like and go from there. The goal of the t-shirt is to give entrepreneurs status. Kind of like what Gucci does to people making them feel important (I don't usually like Gucci's designs though, I am just talking about the brand itself). I want them to feel "powerful"; just by using this t-shirt. I think I would be looking for a design that fits a black shirt (but again, feel free to delight me if you have any idea outside the box).
I don't have a logo, or a name yet. I should have both probably in 4 days, but I want people to start showing me possible designs. Attached is a picture of a slim fit t-shirt I would like to be selling (just the model, it should be black), so you have an idea of how the t-shirt looks like. It should be an ORIGINAL design, not a copy.
The designer should be able to send me the design in a file compatible with Printify or Printful. Also, MAKE SURE to include the back and front, and sleeves of the t-shirt even if the design does not have anything on the back/sleeve. I am looking for a long term designer, so if you like this area of designing, don't hesitate to show your design.

Q: How can I "double-click, edit and save while-leaving" a Windows Forms DataGridView CurrentCell? I'm barely new with WinForm's DataGridView control and quite honestly I'm having a hard time trying to mix and match its events and methods (e.g. CommitEdit() method didn't do what I've expected) to implement the simple concept of "entering edit mode by double-clicking the cell, modify its value (hopefully doing some sort of validation) and saving changes when leaving the aforementioned cell. My actual code looks like this and it's definitely incomplete:
// DEBUG

private void myDataGridView_CellDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    this.myDataGridView.BeginEdit(true);
    this.myDataGridView.CurrentCell.ReadOnly = false;
}

private void myDataGridView_CellLeave(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    this.myDataGridView.EndEdit();
}

private void myDataGridView_CellBeginEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
    DataGridViewCellStyle editCellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
    editCellStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkOrange;
    editCellStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
    this.myDataGridView.CurrentCell.Style.ApplyStyle(editCellStyle);
}

private void myDataGridView_CellEndEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    DataGridViewCellStyle defaultCellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
    defaultCellStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
    this.myDataGridView.CurrentCell.Style.ApplyStyle(defaultCellStyle);
}

// DEBUG

So as you might notice any help you could provide will be really valuable and definintely appreciated. Thanks much you guys in advance!

A: Wow, turns out the "Entity" (LINQ-to-SQL) I'm dealing with has no PK hence LINQ is unable to update it so it's not DGV's fault. Sorry about that.

Output: goo.gl/yT5Vad

What encoding/decoding do we have to use?

A: According to the EddyStone spec an EddyStone frame starts with the bytes AA-FE. A single byte specifying the frame type follows after that. 0x10 is the identifier for a url frame.
After that, a single byte representing the transmission power is included, which you can probably ignore.
Then, a single byte representing scheme follows, with the url after that. The url is encoded using the printable part of ASCII, the unprintable characters are used for compression.
Once you have determined the correct section (that is, starting with AA-FE-10) parsing should be relatively straightforward.

Ctenomys rondoni – endemiczny gatunek gryzonia z rodziny tukotukowatych (Ctenomyidae). Występuje w rejonie Vilhena w brazylijskim stanie Rondônia i w okolicy Juruena w stanie Mato Grosso.

Kariotyp
Garnitur chromosomowy tego zwierzęcia tworzy 18 par (2n=36) chromosomów (FN=64).

Budowa ciała
Ctenomys rondoni został opisany jedynie na podstawie ciał dwóch zwierząt. Wiadomo, że – podobnie jak inne gatunki tukotuko – charakteryzuje je mocna budowa ciała, małe oczy (ale jak na zwierzęta podziemne stosunkowo duże) ulokowane w górnej części czaszki. Tułów ma kształt cylindryczny. Uszy są małe. Ogon gruby i stosunkowo krótki. Łapy, wyposażone w mocne pazury, są przystosowane do kopania tuneli. Długie siekacze i mocne pazury stanowią dla wszystkich tukotuko podstawę adaptacyjną do życia pod ziemią. Są niezbędne do drążenia tuneli. Ctenomys używają do prac ziemnych siekaczy. Drążą z zamkniętymi pyszczkami. W zakresie kształtu czaszki u tukotuko występuje duża zmienność międzygatunkowa.

Ctenomys rondoni jest gryzoniem o średniej wielkości. Włos okrywy części grzbietowej jest blady u podstawy, a wybarwiony na kolor sepii na końcach. Część brzuszna i głowa są wybarwione na kolor określany jako nieco ryżawy. Ogon jest brązowy. Żuchwa jest mocna i szeroka.

Tryb życia
C. rondoni, jak wszystkie tukotuko, spędzają życie pod ziemią, gdzie rozmnażają się, jedzą i umierają. Wiodą samotniczy tryb życia. Jeden system tuneli należy do jednego zwierzęcia. Młode tukotuko osiągają dojrzałość płciową po około 6–8 miesiącach życia. Ciąża trwa około 100 dni.

Rozmieszczenie geograficzne
Występuje w rejonie Vilhena w brazylijskim stanie Rondônia i w okolicy Juruena w stanie Mato Grosso. Typowa lokalizacja nie została określona. Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że lokalizacja występowania tego gatunku jest zbliżona do rozmieszczenia Ctenomys bicolor, można podejrzewać, że są to zwierzęta jednego gatunku.

Ekologia
Ctenomys rondoni podobnie jak pozostałe gatunki z rodzaju Ctenomys są roślinożercami. Tukotuko żywią się trawami i ziołami oraz ich nasionami. Najchętniej zbierają rośliny w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie wylotu nory. Zdobyte pożywienie zjadają na miejscu lub wciągają do nory. Takie zachowanie pozwala na minimalizowanie ryzyka padnięcia ofiarą drapieżników.

Zwierzęta z rodzaju Ctenomys wchodzą w skład diety pójdźki ziemnej, uszatki błotnej, grizona mniejszego, majkonga krabożernego, żararaki urutu i myszołowca towarzyskiego. Tukotuko są traktowane jako szkodniki upraw. Chętnie zjadają uprawiany przez lokalną ludność maniok jadalny.

Siedlisko
Poszczególne gatunki tukotuko zasiedlają izolowane, stosunkowo niewielkie obszary. Zwierzęta budują tunele na głębokości 31–44 cm. Tunel ma szerokość od 5,5 do 9,3 cm przy wysokości od 6 do 11 cm. Korytarz osiąga długość do 5 m. Wyjścia z nory są zwykle zamknięte. Komora gniazdowa jest lokowana na końcu korytarza. C. rondoni zamieszkuje lasy w południowej części Amazonii.

Komunikacja
Nazwa zwierząt tuko-tuko jest onomatopeją odwzorowującą ich wokalizację. Samce dwukrotnie częściej używają dźwięku w komunikacji niż samice.

Nekopara Vol. 3
The visual novel adventure novel is the third installment of the Necopara series. The action takes place in a world inhabited by cats taking on a human figure.

developer: NEKO WORKs
publisher : Sekai Project
Game mode: single player
PS4 Switch

Nekopara Vol. 3 is a classic visual novel adventure game in which we play the role of the owner of a small patisserie. The game is produced by an independent Japanese studio NEKO WORKs. The production is a direct sequel to Nekopara Vol. 1 and Nekopara Vol.2, released in 2014 and 2016. Since the premiere of the first part, the NeKopara series has been slowly becoming more and more popular and has been a great success for this small developer. In 2017, a half-hour animated adaptation of the game, which was financed through the Kickstarter service, had its premiere.
The action of the game takes place in contemporary Japan. However, the country is inhabited by both people and cats, which at first glance resemble ordinary people. They are endowed with intelligence and the ability to communicate by speech. Nekopara Vol. 3 continues the story presented in the first two parts of the series. We play as Kashou Minadukiego, who runs a patisserie called La Soleil where he sells his own baked goods. Interests go very well with the help of his sister Shigure and six cats belonging to his family.
Nekopara Vol. 3 focuses on Minadouki's last two kittens, which didn't have the opportunity to shine in the two previous games of the series. We are talking about the extremely proud Maple and the impulsive Cinnamon. The adopted sisters have always been very close to each other. When Maple faces a problem that undermines her belief in being able to fulfill her dreams and ambitions, Cinnamon puts forward to help her, but she turns out to be powerless and has no idea how to do it. Kashou decides to do everything in his power to solve the dilemmas of both sisters.
Nekopara Vol. 3 is a classic visual novel adventure. The game is again limited to reading successive lines of text enriched with illustrations and animated portraits of characters. Players do not make any decisions affecting the further course of the story, and the whole game should take several hours.
Nekopara Vol. 3 offers high quality graphics. Noteworthy is the E-mote system, which is responsible for character animation. Thanks to its several technical tricks, the two-dimensional portraits of the characters are able to move smoothly and express various emotions. Also, all character dialogues have been dubbed by professional Japanese actors.

Q: Struct Type Could Not Be Resolved C++ in Eclipse We are doing a project in C++ using Eclipse in Ubuntu 12.04LTS and ROS environment.
I used to define classes in source files, and skip the prototypes; but now we have been informed to use header files as prototypes, and source files as the extension of the functions whose prototypes are contained in the header files. It is aimed to achieve an easy-to-read code.
However, I have problems with returning the struct types, while it was no problem with the way I work before. Let me make myself clear about what I'm trying to achieve,
This is header file,
class Im_Robot
{
    public:
        Im_Robot();

    private:
        typedef struct
        {
            double d_kp1;
            double d_ki1;
            double d_kd1;
            double d_kp2;
            double d_ki2;
            double d_kd2;
        } ANGULAR_PARAMS;
            ANGULAR_PARAMS angular_params;

    protected:
        void SetAngularParams(double d_kp1, double d_ki1,double d_kd1, double d_kp2,double d_ki2,double d_kd2);
        ANGULAR_PARAMS GetAngularParams();
        ......

and this is source file,
void Im_Robot::SetAngularParams(double d_kp1,
                                    double d_ki1,
                                    double d_kd1,
                                    double d_kp2,
                                    double d_ki2,
                                    double d_kd2)
{
    // this, örneği çıkarılan objeyi temsil eden anahtar kelimedir.
    this->angular_params.d_kp1 = d_kp1;
    this->angular_params.d_ki1 = d_ki1;
    this->angular_params.d_kd1 = d_kd1;
    this->angular_params.d_kp2 = d_kp2;
    this->angular_params.d_ki2 = d_ki2;
    this->angular_params.d_kd2 = d_kd2;
}

ANGULAR_PARAMS Im_Robot::GetAngularParams()
{
    return this->angular_params;
}
   ......

In the source file and the correspondent line
ANGULAR_PARAMS Im_Robot::GetAngularParams()

"Type ANGULAR_PARAMS could not be resolved." error shows up. Even though I've searched it on the internet, I wasn't able to see any reliable solutions. Any answer will be much appreciated. Thanks already..

A: ANGULAR_PARAMS is a nested class who's scope is its enclosing class.
The fully qualified name must be used:
Im_Robot::ANGULAR_PARAMS Im_Robot::GetAngularParams()
{
    return this->angular_params;
}

Other:

*

*The typedef is unrequired in C++, just use struct ANGULAR_PARAMS.

*There is an access specifier inconsistency as ANGULAR_PARAMS is a private class of Im_Robot but GetAngularParams() is protected meaning classes dervied from Im_Robot can call the function but cannot use the ANGULAR_PARAMS name explicitly (see demo ). It is possible to use auto to get access to the returned instance though (see demo and Why can I use auto on a private type?).

The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) works in tandem with our U.S. regional accreditation agency, the Middle States Association of Colleges & Schools (MSA), to ensure Salisbury Christian School remains organizationally healthy and committed to excellence in education.
While many recognize that accreditation is an important aspect of a school, few understand why. According to ACSI, the accreditation process exists to confirm quality and verify that schools are striving for excellence based on the solid foundation of a Christian philosophy of education. The process serves as an organization appraisal and ensures that schools adhere to universal standards. Accreditation creates credibility, accountability, goals, and improvement plans.


MIT Developing Skin-Tight Spacesuits #WearableWednesday « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!
For future astronauts, the process of suiting up may go something like this: Instead of climbing into a conventional, bulky, gas-pressurized suit, an astronaut may don a lightweight, stretchy garment, lined with tiny, musclelike coils. She would then plug in to a spacecraft's power supply, triggering the coils to contract and essentially shrink-wrap the garment around her body.


Create a DIY Strategy for Exhibiting Your Work: Part Two of a series.
Some of the alternative spaces with entrepreneurial aspects/frameworks are: Art registries and flat files; online galleries; artist communities; co-ops; collaborative spaces; artist run spaces; non profit galleries and art centers; artist fairs; open studios; private art salons; studio galleries; public art commissions; online auctions; eBay. Plus of course corporate lobbies, subways, taxi cabs, street corners, cafes, restaurants; empty lots, building walls, fields, trees, any space that can be redefined and transformed through art and observation.
Also, there are juried shows, open calls, artist residencies, public art projects, guerilla art happenings, unconventional commercial galleries, University galleries, and museum collections and biennials.
I really like online galleries and art files/registries. I run an online gallery which features works by photographer John Sumner and others.
Many curators and gallerists find artists for group shows by looking through online galleries and art file sites. Curators of non-profit galleries and alternative art centers will use them to curate their own shows. Many years ago I remember being included in "Night of 1000 Drawings" show at Artist Space, in support of their mission. This was because I had my work on file in their art registry, and was invited to participate. It was great, I did and the drawing sold, and I had a new collector to add to my mailing list.
Independent curators will visit art registries to find artists to include in their proposals for shows. Research the sites and registries you feel an affinity towards, either because of their mission statement, or you can relate to the other work they have on file. Google them, see if they are being talked about on blogs or if there is any feedback to help you pick and choose. Then follow your intuition, if it feels like a good fit – go for it.
Being part of artist registries and online art files can lead to exhibition opportunities, and sales to private collectors from all over the country, and the world.
To create a visibility trail, it is important that your work be searchable. In addition to your own website, there are portfolio sites that have multiple artists which are great "finds." There are some wonderful portfolio sites to join, and then there are those to avoid. You will have to decide, based on your goals which ones make sense to you.
Some charge a monthly fee. I see nothing wrong with a membership fee, a monthly fee to house your work on a site, month after month. Again, research the reach of each site, see the artists who participate and research what a variety of artists likes or dislikes have been with their involvement.
Then, weigh it against your goals. Are you looking to increase your audience, experience, or sales? Ask yourself, which portfolio site has work that you relate to and feel you would like to be a part of? Then go for it. I also see nothing wrong with an application fee, every university charges you to apply to their BFA or MFA program. Every artist needs to decide what the ROI (return on investment) is for any exhibition, and then budget and participate or not accordingly.
A few sites I like are Re-title. com, Artslant.com, Saatchi online, Ugallery.com, and wooloo.org, and let's not forget about etsy. There are many others. There are some artist communities as well that live "online' where you might want to consider uploading images, resume and artist statement. Back in the day there was MySpace; now people use a combination of portfolio sites.
Lately I've seen artists begin to use LinkedIn for slideshares of their work, or link to portfolio sites like the behance network which focuses on design. I find this to be a really interesting development. Linkedin.com is a professional networking site that has 45 million users. Many everyday people collect art, and I would be curious to see how audience development builds for artists using these sites. Some old standards are deviant art; absolute arts; artists register; and let us not forget eBay storefronts.
Now, how do you decide which ones are worth the effort? We go back to your goals. Who do you want to find you? Where do they hang out and where will they look for what you have to offer?
Talk to other artists who are using these sites, and ask questions! Find out through networking and researching if your audience visits the sites you are considering. If you do not know, then try it for a while, and then assess it. Is the ROI (return on your investment) of either time or money being returned to you in ways you want, in ways that make sense for you?
There are so many great artists out there doing alternative shows in alternative spaces to use as role models. Perhaps your work is based on social or political beliefs, and it plays best in public places such as plazas, lobbies, rooftops, and parks. Your work does not have to float in a sea of white walls in a gallery setting to be valid or have meaning.
Perhaps you work with ice and cast away materials, and your work degrades over time, commenting on our planned obsolescence culture. There is an artist in Slovenia who I love who has been doing this for years, Elena Fajt who works with hair that salons throw away.
Authentic artists doing authentic alternative work in alternative venues – some they have created themselves some are hybrid models – all speak to changing lives, are beautiful, soulful and meaningful.
You might plan a guerilla happening installation in front of a busy office tower, and video the work and the passersby. Watch how people interact with your work and see it come alive in the process. Blog about it, send out a press release, invite your audience to take a part of it with them and recycle the rest. The options are limitless.
There are a variety of galleries that charge $2, 000 – $3,000 dollars for a show. To be honest, this rubs me the wrong way. I don't see how you will make that money back. Some artists have had success with these, most don't. I personally would not pay to show in a gallery I did not believe in, but I would rent a space to show – is there a difference if it costs $2,000? For me there is. You have to decide what matters to you.
I would send in a application fee for a chance to show, would you? Some artists hate application fees and feel these galleries are not worth your time either. You have to decide, what is your budget, what can you afford, what is the return that you can expect. Are you supporting the gallery through these fees and is that a bad thing? Is it a good thing? Only you know best. I have found that collectors don't care where you show, but critics do. If your artist friends judge you for where you show, get new artist friends. You have to decide on the exposure that is right for you based on the ROI (return on investment) for every opportunity you undertake. It comes down to business principals, not emotion.
I started Ceres Gallery in 1984, in NYC when I was 26 years old, just a few years out of art school with a group of women I met at the NY Feminist Art Institute who cared about feminist ideas, and we created a space for women to perform and to show, which is still going strong 26 years later. In 1998, I created the Rhonda Schaller Studio, where I transformed my working art studio into a gallery. My latest venture is Schaller +Jaquish Art Projects, which is an online gallery and a living room salon in Hoboken, NJ.
And on it goes. As artists, we need to come up with new ideas, be flexible, nimble and able to function in chaos. Always try out new exhibition ideas and places to show. What's there to lose? There is a public waiting to experience your vision and your work. DIY – put it out there.
I read once, a statement by artist Faith Ringgold that has always stayed with me, she said (and I paraphrase) If they don't let you play in their ball game, then start your own game. I love that, and let that guide my steps. It can guide yours too. On her blog in a Letter to the NY Times by Faith Ringgold May 27, 2009 she states "Florence Kennedy once told me to, "Write about you're own damn self." And so she did. You can too. Let yourself be heard.
Lots of great suggestions and encouragement here Rhonda, Thanks!
We have to help each other – teach each other – encourage each other. That creative entrepreneurial spirit lives in all of us, just needs some encouragement.
That's fabulous Kellyann. I think your direction is clear and a good one. The public/private partnership is the wave of the future.
Please send your email. I would love to follow your work. Thank you & Best to you in your endeavors.

Business School summer program offers world of possibilities
Christine Heenan named Harvard VP for Government, Community and Public Affairs
Bruno Ocampo and Ashley Holland participated in the Harvard Business School Summer Venture in Management Program.
Staff photo Stephanie Mitchell/Harvard News Office
Twenty-five years ago, a group of Harvard Business School (HBS) professors started a program they hoped would change lives. Their wish has come true.
Since the program's inception in 1983, more than 1,700 students heading into their senior year of college have benefited from an inside look at the world of business and used the experience to help chart their futures.
The HBS Summer Venture in Management Program (SVMP) offers undergraduates the opportunity to explore the business sector through the HBS interactive case method system of learning. The students accepted into the program often have little or no background in business, and are all members of minority groups underrepresented in the corporate world.
"One of the founding purposes of the program is to stop people from self-selecting out, saying 'I'll never get into an Ivy League school. I'll never get into a business school, I'll never get into Harvard,' and just not even trying," said Benjamin Esty, Roy and Elizabeth Simmons Professor of Business Administration, who has been the faculty chair of the program for the past eight years.
The summer program also fits with the HBS mission of educating leaders who contribute to the well-being of society by preparing them to work for a wide range of organizations.
Part of that mission, said one of the SVMP founders, is to shape young leaders by helping them understand the importance of developing and running a successful business. People need good employers who treat them fairly and pay them a good wage, said James Cash, James E. Robison Professor of Business Administration Emeritus.
"[The students] walk away understanding that if they really want to have an impact on society and the world, there is not a better way to do that than building a business and having it be effective in their target communities."
For seven days this summer, 78 students from around the country lived and worked as though they were actual master's degree candidates at the Business School. The program includes an intense week of HBS case classes that bring students into the realm of the corporate world through the spirited debate-and-dialogue case method, which puts them in the role of corporate executives dealing with big decisions.
Participants in the program exceed the average caseload of an HBS student, taking on 14 cases in a week, versus the standard 13 that constitute a typical week for the M.B.A. program. The students spend their nights reading, and they participate in small study groups each morning before class in preparation for the fast-paced class discussions.
The acceptance process is a rigorous one. Sponsoring organizations where students have secured summer internships nominate them for the program. Those recommendations, along with the students' academic record, demonstrated leadership, and personal characteristics all factor into the admissions process.
Bruno Ocampo, a native of Colombia and a senior at Baruch College in New York City, took part in this year's program.
"My long-term goal is becoming the president of Colombia, which is quite ambitious," Ocampo said.
Previously unfamiliar with the case-method style of teaching, Ocampo said his experience in the HBS program and exposure to the case method was invaluable.
"Why I find the case study so effective is that everybody has an opportunity to participate" he explained, "so, I get to learn different perspectives on how to approach a problem. … It's the most effective way of learning by far."
Another member of this year's class, Shivon White, grew up on a Native American reservation in Montana and had never been to the East Coast. Her life's vision, she said, is to help remove barriers for Native American communities and students.
"I'd like to a do joint-degree program — an M.B.A. with an M.P.P. or M.B.A. with a juris doctorate — because I think that those powerful education tools can really help to remove those barriers that are holding people back."
White said it was her lifelong dream to come to Harvard and that attending the SVMP brought that dream much closer to a reality.
"I just think that this program made the M.B.A. at Harvard really seem more real for me. … It seemed so unreachable before I'd actually come here, but now it's like a possibility, I think that's very cool."
Another benefit of the program is the sense of shared values and goals within the group and the friends and contacts that develop as a result.
"You create a really strong bond," said Ocampo, who has already created a Facebook group with a number of the students. "I have probably 15, 20 friends so far."
The creation of such networks, acknowledged Esty, is another important goal of the program.
Esty, who teaches the very first and last case of the week, said it's inspiring to see the transformation that the participants undergo.
"With the case method you learn by engaging in dialogue, not passive observance from the sidelines," he said. "If Monday they are just dipping their toe in, they are diving and splashing around and having a great time by Friday. They've grown in comfort and confidence, in a lot of ways."
But administrators aren't disappointed if the students who attend the program opt for something other than a business degree. Included in the week's events is a career fair with representatives from other Harvard graduate schools.
"If we help someone figure out they want to go to law or medical school, or even another business school, that's great," said Esty.
The summer program, he added, is in part about "trying to change the trajectories the students are on … not only the actual trajectory but the perceived trajectory about what they can accomplish and what they can do with their lives. … You actually, in a quite compressed time, see this transformation in how many of them think about themselves, their aspirations, their possibilities."

Sharks spotted on Wormwood Scrubs
Category: Local Issues to Shout About
That quiet part of our world is at risk with an altogether different sort of wildlife…
By now you must have heard of plans to redevelop that area with the new HS2, Crossrail and the London Overground Old Oak Station. Some of these would cut into the Northwest of the Scrubs with new housing. These will undoubtedly change its character forever.
You may not go there much these days, but if the development is built you'll notice a huge difference in traffic in the surrounding areas as well as a notable influx of people much like in Strafford.
The re-development of the station and surrounding areas is maybe inevitable – and some argue, welcomed. But eating way from the Scrubs with a large housing project is, campaigners say, avoidable. The Save Our Scrubs campaign has been set up to prevent it.
They say they are not anti-development but rather that "our common land should not be sacrificed to the developers with luxury flats"
The campaign "aims to ensure that all development around Wormwood Scrubs fully respects the present character of the Scrubs as a a common land for the enjoyment and recreation of all Londoners, a diverse habitat, a managed wilderness and a series of local nature reserves." And that developments in this area not be dictated just by the interests of developers, but be sensitive to the needs and desires of all those with a stake in Wormwood Scrubs Common, including its diverse wildlife.
The Scrubs is a very peaceful area. There you forget that London is just around the corner. It is a unique place but it will be lost if the current plans go ahead.
If you want to join the campaign please see http://www.saveourscrubs.org.uk/


While Palin will not be there in person, her political action committee, SarahPAC, is sponsoring a Diamond Reception on the CPAC's opening night — Thursday, Feb. 10….
Had Palin accepted the invitation, she would have followed in the footsteps of Fox News host Glenn Beck who delivered the closing-night keynote address last year, and conservative talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh, who got the coveted slot in 2009.
I think the last paragraph is key. Had she accepted the invitation to give the keynote address, the narrative would have been that she's following in the footsteps of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh rather than pursuing higher office. Perhaps scheduling conflicts prevented her from speaking at any time prior to the keynote address on Saturday (her birthday occurs during this period as well) and that she didn't want to get pigeonholed as another Rush/Beck by delivering the closing address. Her PAC will sponsor another event at CPAC Thursday evening.

Southampton is the largest city in the county of Hampshire on the south coast of England, and is situated 120 kilometres (75 mi) south-west of London and 30 kilometres (19 mi) north-west of Portsmouth. Southampton is a major port and the closest city to the New Forest. It lies at the northernmost point of Southampton Water at the confluence of the River Test and River Itchen, with the River Hamble joining to the south of the urban area. The local authority is Southampton City Council, which is a unitary authority. Just over a quarter of the jobs available in the city are in the health and education sector. A further 19 per cent are property and other business and the third largest sector is wholesale and retail, which accounts for 16.2 percent. Between 1995 and 2004, the number of jobs in Southampton has increased by 18.5 per cent. Southampton has always been a port, and the docks have long been a major employer in the city. In particular, it is a port for cruise ships; its heyday was the first half of the 20th century, and in particular the inter-war years, when it handled almost half the passenger traffic of the UK. Today it remains home to luxury cruise ships, as well as being the largest freight port on the Channel coast and fourth largest UK port by tonnage, with several container terminals. Unlike some other ports, such as Liverpool, London, and Bristol, where industry and docks have largely moved out of the city centres leaving room for redevelopment, Southampton retains much of its inner-city industry.
