2011 Game Developers Conference
Yet more big names added to roster.
- In an extremely rare public lecture, Blizzard's Tom Chilton presents 'Remaking the World Of Warcraft through Cataclysm', a talk in which the expansion's game director -- also responsible for lead designing Wrath of the Lich King and Burning Crusade discusses "what approach we took, what works, and what doesn't seem to work when tackling the challenge of breathing new life into aging game content."
The expansion to the popular PC MMO sold 4.7 million copies in one month after its early December debut. Chilton will discuss how the Blizzard team "rejuvenated aging parts of the game world for existing, former, and new players while at the same time preserving and even enhancing what made the game world special from the start."
- This year's competitors for the popular 'Game Design Challenge'
session, which focuses around some of the industry's lead designers presenting a game design concept, have been revealed - with last year's winner Jenova Chen (Flower, Journey) taking on Doom and Quake co-creator John Romero and independent game maverick Jason Rohrer (Passage, Sleep Is Death).
The challenge for the event this year, MC-ed by Eric Zimmerman, is "creating a game that is also in some way a religion -- or a religion that is in some way a game". As is noted in the description: "The audience plays an important role as well - by voting in the winner of the Game Design Challenge 2011. Expect a free-wheeling session of brave new game design ideas, along with unpredictable debate and dialog."
- Another just-confirmed lecture is from Quantic Dream's David Cage, who will present 'Creating An Emotional Rollercoaster In Heavy Rain', the PS3-exclusive story based title that, as Cage comments, "tried to build an experience entirely based on interactive storytelling, emotional involvement and contextual actions."
In the lecture capping Cage's experience working on the title, released in 2010, "tips and tricks will be revealed about how we dealt to tell a multiple branch story and build characterization through game play rather than cut scenes, and we will expose how we worked to make the player care for the characters, which is of paramount importance for any type of games."
Other highlighted lectures include Insomniac Games' Joel Goodsell on creating satisfying combat experiences at the house of Resistance and Ratchet & Clank, as well as high-rated EA/Maxis speaker Stone Librande on his experience building board/card games for his children every year as they grew from 3 to 18 years old, and Vector Unit's Matt Small (Hydro Thunder Hurricane) talking about 'Tales from the Trenches:
Startup Advice from a Veteran'.
At the forefront of game development, Game Developers Conference continues to deliver the most pertinent and informative updates in digital entertainment, with the full range of GDC 2011 Main Conference and Summit sessions now fully time-scheduled on the event's "Scheduler Builder" software.
Game Developers Conference 2011 -- the 25th iteration of the industry-leading show -- will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from February 28th to March 4th, and pre-show registration is open until February 27th. For more information on all aspects of the show, visit the official GDC 2011 website - http://www.gdconf.com


This interesting plant is in the sweetpotato family (Ipomoea) with a shrub-like growth habit. The scientific name is Ipomoea fistulosa. It is described as growing in exceedingly dry places and can be considered a xeriscape plant.The bush morning glory is the most prolific bloomers of any of the summer perennials.
The plant is covered with medium-size, light pink (there is a white form available) blooms all summer. Blooms last only one day but clusters of blooms are formed in the axil of every leaf. Plants can get 6-8 feet tall with multiple trunks. When hard frosts kill plants, the tops should be removed; in South central Texas plants will sprout again from the hardy root system the following May. Once established the bush morning glory is a tough (drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant) plant. It blooms best in direct sun and will not bloom as well if receiving less than 8-10 hours of direct sun. Plants can be cut back monthly to encourage branching and increase blooming surface. Cutting back in July will reduce plant height and encourage a spectacular fall bloom.
This is written about this plant in India: "It is not eaten by livestock (ducks, goats, cattle, buffalo, elephants, etc.) and is easily propagated by stem cuttings and withstands periods of flooding and desiccation. It makes an ideal living fence and is easier to manage than the common alternatives: upright cacti succulent euphorbias or thorny species of Acacia and Prosopis. Under dry conditions it does not seem capable of tolerating much competition but in water or mud it is highly competitive. Under wet conditions the stems become inflated and may be as thick as a human arm. These inflated stems are hard and not spongy as one might expect. Also they are capable of rooting. In regions that are regularly flooded Ipomoea fistulosa is often dominant and forms stands of several hectares. " In other words, this plant is tough and beautiful in water and in drought and, MAYBE, the deer won't prefer it!!

Produced by and featuring Phil Manzanera, La Notte Delle Stelle comprises the non-Salentino songs performed by the invited guests on the night of La Notte della Taranta on the 22 August 2015, in front of an audience of 200,000.
The artist's own compositions were adapted to the Salentino style by Phil Manzanera, and ranged from the Afrobeat of Tony Allen to the Prog Rock of Anna Phoebe, from the Colombian merengue/rock of Andrea Echeverri to the Rhumba Flamenca of Raul Rodriguez and from the Italian Rock to British Rock of Ligabue and Manzanera.
Phil Manzanera says, "It was a pleasure to work with so many great international musicians and to celebrate the blending of the Salento traditions expressed through Pizzica and the other unique music of the region with the music of myself and the invited guests."
Mastered by award-winning Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson.

A Charlotte Guide to Preschool Philosophies
Know the options to help find the best fit for your family
By Julia Pelly
Published: October 26, 2018 11:25 AM
It's no secret that securing a preschool spot in Charlotte can be challenging. With fewer available spots than children who want or need to enroll, waitlists at some Charlotte preschools can stretch beyond the two-year mark. While long waitlists and preschool talk among parents can lead to a lot of stress, the process of searching for the right preschool can be an exciting venture for families as they begin to think deeply about the sort of educational experience they want their child to have.
Whether they feel more stressed or excited, parents who are beginning their preschool search often report feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of preschools in the area and the wide range of philosophies and environments they offer. By answering a few key questions about what they want and need in a preschool, parents can opt out of the preschool-choice anxiety that is prevalent in many social circles and spend their time and energy interviewing and touring at the handful of schools that will meet the needs of their family. In order to narrow down their options, parents should ask themselves three questions before they begin their search:
* How important is full-time care versus part-time care?
* How important is the location of the school?
* What sort of philosophy most closely mirrors the parenting philosophy used at home?
Most parents can easily answer the first two questions but unless they have a background in early childhood education, many parents aren't able to articulate the major priorities and differences between the countless options available in Charlotte.
As you begin your preschool search, take a peek at the round up of different early childhood educational philosophies found in preschools in Charlotte.
The Montessori Method was developed by Maria Montessori over 100 years ago. In a true Montessori classroom, activities are self-directed, hands-on and play is collaborative. Children are encouraged to make choices in both how and what they learn and kids typically graduate a Montessori preschool program with lots of independence.
"The Montessori classroom is an environment where one sees every child happily engaged in doing something different, based on their own developmental needs," says Joan Horlbeck, the center director at Anami Montessori School.
"We work hard to help our students learn how to be a friend, how to be courteous, how to be respectful and how to be kind," says Victoria Tucker, an administrator at Charlotte Montessori. "We also work hard to help children learn the practical skills they'll use across their whole lives."
Best fit for parents who value self-directed learning and strive to incorporate self-direction and independence in their child's routine at home.
Play-based, Progressive Learning
Play based, progressive education is based on Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development and relies on the assertion that children learn best through experience.
"At Open Door, we believe that through play, children learn to solve problems, reason, develop vocabulary, interact socially, and fully engage their bodies, minds, hearts and souls," says director Sheila Locklear. "When our students head off to kindergarten we want them to be confident, to have the vocabulary and skills to articulate their feelings, to be able to take responsibility for themselves and to be able to participate in classroom routines. When children have these foundational skills, their academics progress naturally."
Best fit for families who are committed to fostering their children's independent decision-making skills and following their child's lead around what and how they want to learn.
Religious Weekday School
For parents whose religion plays a central role in their life, a church-based weekday school may be the way to go. "At Sardis weekday school we love our students and our parents," says director Elizabeth Angerson. "Our goal is to ensure that the children in our care know how special and loved they are and that their parents know that their children are safe, well cared for and learning new things."
While most weekday schools have a dual focus on play and academics, their primary aim is usually to provide a safe, caring environment that helps children enjoy their first education experience.
Best fit for for parents whose schedule does not call for full-time care as many weekday schools run on a half-day schedule. Charlotte boasts religious weekday schools in many corners of the city and with a wide range of religious practices.
"The Waldorf Philosophy is a humanistic, progressive, holistic pedagogical philosophy," says Silvana Mitchell, an administrator at WaWa-Wasi Schoolhouse. "In Waldorf Education, the learning process happens organically, engaging head, heart and hands — or thinking, feeling and doing."
At WaWa-Wasi School House, this learning process is relationship based and includes practical, hands-on activities and a lot of creative, outdoor, unstructured play. WaWa-Wasi Schoolhouse is the only Waldorf Preschool in Charlotte and boasts programs for toddlers through age 5.
Best fit for families who highly value outdoor time, strictly limit time with electronic toys and who are committed to creating a community within their school setting.
Developing independence and a sense of mutual respect is the foundation for the Reggio Emilio philosophy. At Little Scholars Academy in the Lake Norman area, teachers are intentional about creating learning environments that are centered on what individual children are interested in learning.
"Reggio is very child lead," says Little Scholars Academy teacher Brittney Wardrip. "When children in our program begin kindergarten their parents often hear from their teachers that they are impressed by how independent they are when trying things for the first time and how social and collaborative they are both in play and on class projects."
Best fit for parents who believe in fostering independence and a sense of mutual respect in their children.

Arabic is a Semitic language written from right to left. Arabic consists of 28 letters: 25 consonants and 3 "long vowels".
There are also what are called "short vowels" (harakat) which are used to show correct pronunciation, for example, the word deen=religion and dayn=owe are normally written exactly the same way (3 letters D Y N) but to make the pronunciation clear deen can be written with a haraka/accent of a little dash under the D like so /. In dayn it can written as a little dash (horizontal) above the [D].
The Arabic script is used in many other languages such as Urdu and Farsi. In some of these languages there are added letters (or added dots/slightly different shapes) as in Farsi to compensate for sounds that are not found in the Arabic alphabet.
Arabic is spoken as a first language by more than 280 million people, and as a second language by another 250 million.
Green indicates the countries where Arabic is the only official language, blue and light-blue indicate where Arabic is one of several official languages.
Arabic is spoken across the Middle East, particularly in the Arabian Peninsula, as well as in North Africa, and in portions of Saharan and Sub-Saharan Africa. Since Muslims believe the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, can only truly be read in Arabic, it is fairly common for people in other predominantly Islamic countries to understand religious words in Arabic.
In the third century B.C.E., Nabateans, a tribe of people in Asia, settled near the northern part of the Arabic Peninsula. They spoke a language very similar to Arabic, however they still wrote in an early language called Aramaic, which was itself closely related to Hebrew.
Modern Arabic first truly formed when Arabic and Amharic combined in the mid fourth century C.E. It stood out among other new Semitic Languages for its ability to not be overtaken by other, already existent, languages.
Around the sixth century C.E., Arabic "took over" another language found in the Arabic peninsula, Sabaic, because the chief religious text, the Qur'an, was written and spoken only in Arabic. Although Sabaic exists today as a spoken language, only a small number of people use it.
The most famous and influential book in Arabic is the holy book of Muslims called "Qur'an", which Muslims believe was revealed to Mohammad over a period of about 23 years. Muslims hold that he was the last messenger of God. The Qur'an, Islam's holy book is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله, Allah). It is regarded widely as the finest piece of literature in the Arabic language.
"One Thousand and One Nights" is a collection of Arabic stories written and adapted over time by many authors. In English this collection is called "Arabian Nights" and includes the stories "Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp," "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," and "The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor."
Khalil Gibran was an Arabic writer, poet, and artist that wrote famous poems and books in Arabic and English while living in the United States between 1906–1933.
The Arabic letters for "Ahlan"
Kayfa 'alok? means "How are you?" but can be used to say "Hello"
Uhibuki means "I love you" أحبكِ when speaking to a girl or woman.
Uhibuka means "I love you" أحبكَ when speaking to a boy or man.
If you are saying hello to your friend you would say: "Ahlan ya" then your friend's name.
"Save your white penny for your black day."
Save your money for when you really need it.
"Give the bread dough to the baker even if he eats half of it."
Give the job to a person who knows how to perform it best even if it will cost you more.
"The friend in tight times."
A friend is the one that lends a hand during times of need.
"To his mother's eye a monkey looks like a deer"
A mother always thinks that their child is beautiful.

Screening note: We could use transients to improve performance of the distinct impl, except checking containment in a transient set is broken per CLJ-700 (which is not currently in 1.7). I have a new patch and direction on CLJ-700 that could provide a way to solve that if we want to move it back and push this further. Or we could just wait and refactor when CLJ-700 does go in.
Initial patch with impls. Tests and perf still to do.

I'm not sure what's the best way to attach patch to this, for now attaching a patch that can be applied on top of Alex changes (clj-1601-transient-distinct.patch).
Only caveat is that transient sets do not support contains? for now (see CLJ-700). This can be solved by using (.contains ^clojure.lang.ITransientSet set key) I'm not sure what's the best way to attach patch to this, for now attaching a patch that can be applied on top of Alex changes (clj-1601-transient-distinct.patch).
Hey Nikita, I'd rather fix CLJ-700 and use the normal functions rather than what you've done in the patch, which is why I hadn't done this before. I'm waiting to check with Rich whether we'll do that in 1.7 or wait till next release.

Thanks

A: Can't comment on the maven part, but I have sucessfully used Launch4j with Ant. Take a look at the XML files that are passed to launch4j when building the executable. Most likely the second one specifies dontWrapJar = true.
Alternately load the XML in Launch4j GUI and check that checkbox "Don't wrap the JAR" is not checked.

A: To launch your app with custom process name in launch4J config file must be written
<customProcName>true</customProcName>

In your non-working app config this parameter is false.
Try to change it first.

The Hippodrome Theatre is a theater in Baltimore, Maryland.

History

Built in 1914 for impresarios Marion Scott Pearce and Scheck, the 2300-seat theater was the foremost vaudeville house in Baltimore, as well as a movie theater. When the movie palace opened, it was the largest theatre in the United States south of Philadelphia. The Hippodrome was designed by Thomas W. Lamb, one of the foremost theater architects of his time. Lamb gave the theater an unusually strong presence on Eutaw Street through the use of brick and terra cotta on a massive façade. The Hippodrome was renovated in 2004 for use as a performing arts theater, and is part of the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center.

The site had previously been occupied by the five story House Hotel, built in 1835 and destroyed by fire on May 25, 1912. The new theater had an original capacity of 3,000 seats and boasted a Moller organ, as well as a house orchestra that survived into the 1950s. The Loew's chain operated the Hippodrome from 1917 to 1924, then Keith-Albee-Orpheum assumed stewardship. In 1920 the average weekly attendance was 30,000. During the 1930s the Hippodrome featured such performers as Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Martha Raye, Dinah Shore, Red Skelton, The Three Stooges, the Andrews Sisters, Morey Amsterdam, and Benny Goodman. Frank Sinatra first performed with Harry James at the Hippodrome. Live performances ceased in 1959, but movies remained strong through the 1960s. The Hippodrome finally closed in 1990 as the last movie theater in downtown Baltimore.

In the period before it was renovated, it served as a filming location in the 2000 John Waters film Cecil B. Demented. The theater served as a hideout for the SprocketHoles, a gang of terrorist filmmakers.

Renovations
The most recent renovation combined three contiguous existing buildings and a new structure: the Western National Bank Building (1887), the Eutaw Savings Bank Building (1888) and the Hippodrome into a major performing arts complex, designed by Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates. The Maryland Stadium Authority led the renovation. Clear Channel Entertainment (now Live Nation) became the theatre operator after project completion. In 2008, Live Nation sold most of its theatrical assets, including the Hippodrome, to Key Brand Entertainment.

The classical development methodology is called the SDLC or "system development lifecycle." The classical development methodology is shown in Figure 5.1.
In Figure 5.1 it is seen that there is a linear progression from the early stages of design and development to the final stages. Development proceeds from one stage of development to the next in a "waterfall" manner. The next stage of development does not start until the preceding step is complete.

Jonathan Schwartz
And suddenly I'm sitting down with a titan
Back in January, I took a call from a recruiter.
I was busy when she called. More importantly, I wasn't interested in leaving Sun Microsystems. I loved my job, my boss, the Sun leadership and my colleagues. Even so, when the recruiter told me about the new job, and how much it would pay, I found myself firing off my resume.
The job was a speechwriting gig for the CEO of one of the largest companies on the planet. It would be a promotion in title, and it would pay a boatload of money. I'd been a speechwriter for a titan before, so I knew it would be a pretty challenging gig. But I also knew this was the kind of opportunity that didn't come around very often, and the money would make a big difference in my household, where my wife stays home with our two sons.
Well, one thing led to another, and things got more and more serious. First it was a conference call with an executive recruiter in New York, then it was half a day at the company itself, then it was another visit with the chief marketing officer as well as the chief technology and strategy officer. They liked me, and I liked them.
Only one problem: I still loved Sun.
I still loved what I was doing at Sun — creating journalistic, reality-based videos for our CEO, explaining our vision and strategy to our 33,000 employees, getting tapped for humor projects and trying my best to make Sun a fun place to work. My boss had always encouraged me to use my creativity to do new and cool things, and I knew that leaders like her don't come around too often. I can't tell you how many times I had friends and acquaintances tell me that mine was the coolest job around.
But the other company was calling; their CEO wanted to meet with me. This obviously would be the final interview. Me and the titan, in his office.
Maybe I should have been thrilled. Maybe I should have been salivating. Maybe I should have been ready to do jumping jacks for this guy. Maybe I should have looked at the bigger title, the promise of more money — all of that — and let my eyes cross in corporate lust.
But I didn't. I was too busy having fun at Sun.
Then came the kicker. I was in the midst of producing a video about courage and integrity at Sun. Along the way, I was able to listen in on a high-level discussion about Sun's core values and how they are "interwoven into the fabric of who we are" as a company of integrity, transparency and mutual respect, as CEO Jonathan Schwartz put it. It was a special moment for me, because I knew he wasn't just feeding us a line. I had been at Sun for more than eight years, and I had seen how Jonathan and his team have not only made some important moves to turn in consistent profitability, but also have emphasized the importance of treating people with respect. It's one thing to talk about being high-integrity; it's quite another to show it day in and day out with your actions. Jerks, bullies and self-important snobs are a lot harder to find at Sun these days, and that means a lot to me.
I kept my date with the titan. He seemed like a great guy, and he was smart. In fact, really smart. Despite my best efforts to show extreme interest in the gig, he could tell my heart wasn't in it. At one point, he put my resume down and announced, "Well, it sounds like you're in a great situation over there at Sun." According to the executive recruiter, he later declared, "Greg doesn't want this job."
And I got to produce an April Fools prank on Schwartz. See below for all the drooling details. Is it any wonder why Sun is such a great place to work?

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerisis (FSGS) is a condition that can be resistant to conventional therapies. The process of sclerosis of the kidneys may have different causes and is often extremely resistant to conventional therapies. Natural therapies can offer new hope to patients faced with the potential of renal failure.
I published an article in the Townsend Letter to help raise awareness of this condition and treatment options within the alternative medical community.

For nearly 40 years, Nancy and Ron Kenney have given The Sharing Center the best gift anyone could ask for, their time. They've shared their precious time volunteering with us since the '80s.
They've been with The Sharing Center from the start. Their home church, Sanlando United Methodist, was one of the 17 founding churches. Ron and Nancy began volunteering when the agency opened its first store. Together, along with their Fellowship Sunday classmates, they sorted through mounds of clothing donations.
Nancy now volunteers every Monday afternoon in The Boutique, while Ron spends his Monday afternoons testing electronics in the Distribution Center. For the last five to six years, they have committed to volunteering every week, dedicating thousands of hours to the mission of The Sharing Center.
In an interview with Ron, he states "I support The Sharing Center because of all the benefits it's given to our neighbors right here in Seminole County; sometimes people right in our own backyard. It serves our community directly. You get to see the results first-hand. We've sent people here from our own church, or from right off the street. It's like giving back and paying it forward."
Small Acts Make A Big Difference
Ron mentioned that the greatest act of service is the anonymous small acts that make a huge difference in the lives of others. The ones that you may not even know about.
He shared a story about his neighbor, and how Nancy and Ron introduced her to The Sharing Center. They were always telling her about how impactful it is for our community and its mission. When their neighbor passed, her lawyer contacted Ron about getting them in touch with someone at The Sharing Center for a bequest.
Ron's neighbor dedicated the value of his house to The Sharing Center.
Nearly $350,000 was left behind to TSC, all because Ron and Nancy support us and shared their passion about who we are and what we do.
Ron and Nancy share together their joy of giving through service, "It really is an honor and a blessing to see how you've grown exponentially since the start of The Sharing Center. We are thankful to be able to contribute to this mission."
Volunteerism At The Sharing Center
Nancy and Ron are incredible examples of neighborhood ambassadors. They have continuously blessed The Sharing Center with their time, their hearts, financial gifts and their dedication. We are so thankful for volunteers like these two!
If you are interested in volunteering, you can visit our website thesharingcenter.org/volunteer.
We have plenty of opportunities all over our campus. You can serve in The Oasis, The Thrift Store, Boutique, Furniture Store, The Pantry, The Distribution Center, and even our corporate offices! Students, elders, groups, schools, clubs, and community service- come one, come all!
REACH Volunteer Accepted to Princeton
Serve Saturdays are the Best!

1. I know I need a college degree to be a teacher, but what do I major in?
The answer to this question actually varies from state to state. In many states, you major in elementary education to teach kindergarten through 6th grade. To teach in a middle school, 6th grade through 8th grade, you major in middle grades education with a concentration in a certain subject. To teach in a high school, you major in the subject, such as math or Spanish, and complete a teacher education program or minor.
2. Who do I ask for the "right" information about my major or any other question?
Read the college or university's web site. Go to the pages for the school (or college) of education. They should explain what majors are offered. Ask your teachers about their colleges and their majors. Talk with your guidance counselor, and then go to your chosen college and talk with their admissions counselors. Attend an open house on campus; you may also be able to attend an education class while you're there.
3. I need to work while in college. Is that possible while studying to be a teacher?
Yes, it is possible. However, you need to know that education classes don't just meet on campus, and they require more hours than other classes. Your education classes will require field experiences, which means you will spend a lot of time out in the schools. During the student teaching semester, it is usually not possible to work, because student teachers work the regular hours of a teacher. So, plan ahead.
4. Will it be harder for me to become a teacher if I start college at my community college (a two-year institution)?
Not necessarily. You will need an advisor at the community college who knows that your goal is to transfer to a four-year institution to become a teacher. Make sure that the general classes you take are transferable. Read the catalog at both your community college and the four-year college you plan to attend to check on the transfer of credits. Many people become teachers by starting classes at a community college, and it can save you a lot of money.
5. I am reading college catalogs online, and I see "general education" requirements. I already know that I want to be a teacher, so what does this mean?
All colleges and universities have general education requirements. These are basic courses in math, science, writing, speech, social studies, and the humanities, and they are designed to make you a well-educated person. General education courses take up much of your first two years in college. However, some colleges and universities have fewer required courses than others. If you choose a school with fewer "gen ed" requirements, you may have more time to study what you want, possibly completing a minor in another field that interests you. Read the catalogs carefully to learn about each school's requirements.
6. I am considering going out of state to college. Will that hurt my chances for getting a job in my home state after graduation?
7. What are education courses like? What will I study?
Most education programs begin with an introductory class, followed by a class in educational psychology. Then, you study curriculum and methods. You will also take classes in special education and classroom management. In other words, you need to know about the teaching profession, how students think, what to teach, how to teach, and how to reach all children. All of your coursework is tied together with field experiences and student teaching. Your general education courses and courses in your major provide the content you need. After all, you better know algebra if you are going to teach it.
8. As a freshman, will I take education courses?
This varies widely from college to college. Some first-year students take an introduction to education class and may even go out into schools to observe. Some FEA members have already completed the equivalent of the intro class, and this requirement is waived. Once accepted at a college, attend preregistration and advisement days, and plan your schedule in advance.
9. Once I am in college, how much do my grades matter?
A lot. Your grades determine if you can enter and remain in the teacher education program. Most programs require a certain grade point average to take junior- and senior-level education courses. Your grades determine if you qualify to receive or keep scholarships. As graduation approaches, potential employers look at your grades when considering you for a job. Grades matter.
10. Will the college help me to get a job?
Colleges and universities have career centers that offer workshops on resume writing, job searching, and interviewing. Many career centers also host teacher job fairs, where school districts recruit new hires. Take advantage of these offerings.
How hard are education courses?
Education courses are very thorough, and they require a lot of hours spent out in the schools. Why? Teaching is challenging, and today's teachers need to know so much! It is better to have tough courses and to be prepared when you start your first teaching job than to have easy courses and graduate unprepared.

Q: unknown property error struts2 I am developing a struts2 application. I have a property in my jsp file, which need to refer to a property of an object that is in a list, but I run into unknown property error,
just to clarify:
lets say my jsp property is called x
my class is called a, it has a private String x and a set of getter and setters
a is in ArrayList called b, and b is in the action class that jsp file is referring to (it is referring to the correct class as it can find the properties that are action's member but not the x which is in class a).

A: If I get your problem correctly (other people are right, it does read a bit like a Math problem) the problem is that Struts doesn't know to which element of the list to map the property in your JSP. Let me explain, suppose you have class A defined like this:
public class A {
    private String x;
    //Getter and setter for x
}

and in your action class you have something like
public class MyAction extends ActionSupport {
    private A aProperty;
    //execute method and getter/setter for aProperty.
}

In this case you use aProperty.x to reference the x member of aProperty from your JSP. However, the moment your action class changes to
public class MyAction extends ActionSupport {
    private List<A> aList;
    //Execute method and getter/setter for aList.
}

you can no longer use aList.x since you need to tell Struts which item of the list to get in order to get/set x on this item. You can specify the item of the list you want to reference like this: aList[0].x
Let me know if this is not exactly what you were trying to ask in your question.

There are a lot of different responses to this questions, and most of them are wrong! so I am here to set you straight and tell you why your plants are dying and how to stop it from happening over and over again!
Firstly before you buy your plants you need to do research on what substrate you need….NO you cannot just use gravel..No you cannot just use sand! Most people believe that they can just chuck a bag of sand in the bottom of there tank and everything will grow, well i can tell you now it will not. Substrates provide your plants with nutrients, food. Can you imagine waking up in the morning and eating paper for breakfast? your body will struggle to survive the day. You want to wake up and have a big bowl of porridge or even a full English, SO DO YOUR PLANTS. Get the substrate right from the start and that will eliminate most of problems.
So you have a substrate, you buy your plants, stick them in your tank and immediately they struggle, Why? think about a time when you have gone on holiday, the first day in a nice hot country, whats happens? you get burnt. your body isn't used to this change in environment and neither are your plants. you may well get leaves going brown and dying but that doesn't mean your plant is dead….you need to wait to see the new growth that will come through. The growth that is used to your tank environment. As long as your root structure is healthy you will get new growth.
So your plant has taken to your tank and you have seen new growth but after a month the plant starts to die off, Why? Your not feeding it right. your plants need to eat right. Almost all tanks need Liquid CO2, the liquid CO2 will encourage growth and keep algae down. To go along with the liquid CO2 your plants need macro and micro nutrients. With out all of these your plants will wither and die off, which will then encourage algae to your tank.
What is so good about Neutro's?
you have heard that your plants need food right? but what is the best food to give your plants, what would they like?
I'm here to tell you whats so good about Neutro's and why you need to give it to your plants.
Firstly you need to know that there are three different Neutro fertilisers, you need to make sure you know what they are about and which ones are right for you.
To start with there is Neutro CO2. This is a liquid carbon fertiliser that is about a third of the strength of Pressurised CO2. Almost all tanks need liquid carbon, the only exception are and tanks that have plants that don't like liquid carbon, such as Valliseria. Liquid carbon is a very important source of growth for plants. if you have plants in your tank that are living but aren't growing and flourishing then you need to add liquid carbon.
Secondly there is Neutro T. Neutro T provides your plants with the Trace elements that need to really flourish. Trace elements included are Boron, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum and Zinc. These micro nutrients are key for plant growth.
Lastly there is Neutro + now it is key that you use Neutro + if you have pressurised CO2 set up in your aquarium. It is important that you use Neutro + because this fertiliser not only has the Trace elements that plants need it also has the macro nutrients that pressurised CO2 removes from your tank. The macro nutrients are Potassium, Phosphorus and Nitrogen.
When using Neutro fertilisers it is important that you dose correctly. over or under dosing can cause algae issues in your tank.
What are your thoughts about Neutro fertilisers? have you found them to be beneficial?
Make sure you are using a decent fertiliser which provides what your plants need. If you have demanding plants that means they need CO2 and lots of ferts (both trace and macros). Dose the ferts on a daily basis (not weekly) as you'll get better results this way.
Algae is caused due to fluctuating levels in your aquarium so keep things stable – add ferts every day, perform large water changes every week (yes every week) and keep on top of maintenance. When you slack off, algae rears it's ugly head.
Limit your lighting. The longer your lighting is on for, the more problems you may have. I suggest no more than 8 hours a day and if you're having problems with algae, drop it down to 6 hours until it levels off.
Use a liquid carbon which helps to get rid of algae. Super popular (for that reason) and if you dose according to the bottle instructions you'll be pleased with the results.
Ensure you have enough plants in your tank. Having a tank 30% planted is just not enough and creates instability (then algae…). Look to have a tank about 80% full of plants and you'll find everything a lot easier.
What problems do you have with your planted aquarium?

Where Minnesota School Board Members Learn to Lead
← What is special about this Special Session? The 2015 Education Finance Omnibus bill "got better."
MSBA's Top 10 legislative changes school districts should know about →
National issues of ESEA authorization and FERPA law updates are awaiting action
Posted on June 17, 2015	by mnmsba
Balancing Access and Privacy in Update of FERPA Law
The 1974 Federal Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) is under bipartisan review by the House Education & the Workforce Committee, and NSBA recommendations call for preventing undue burden on school districts. School boards and their attorneys recognize that the law needs a fresh approach, one that reflects the new and emerging reality of how schools collect, store, manage and work with student information in the 21st century. NSBA calls for an update that minimizes undue burden on school districts and remains relevant and applicable to ever-evolving technology tools, school practices, and societal norms.
While the timeframe for introducing a bill is not firm, the Committee could take up a bill prior to the August recess.
Elementary and Secondary Education (ESEA) Reauthorization
The Student Success Act (H.R. 5) and the Every Child Achieves Act (S. 1177), the House and Senate bills to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), await floor votes in their respective chambers. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee is completing its report on S. 1177, which was passed unanimously by the Committee in April. We anticipate a number of amendments regarding the Title I grant program for disadvantaged students, as well as others regarding graduation rates, school climate, and more.
As we await the House and Senate floor action and subsequent House-Senate conference committee negotiations to reconcile differences between the two bills, please continue the dialogue with your members of Congress and encourage further action to modernize ESEA. Find a sample message at the NSBA Legislative Action Center, which you can use for talking points in your meetings, telephone calls and emails to your members of Congress and their staff. NSBA's comparison chart regarding the House and Senate ESEA bills provides further details.
Secure Rural Schools Program Payments
As an from May 18, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has processed payments to states for Fiscal Year 2014, pursuant to Congress' recent two-year reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) and Community Self-Determination Act.
The Secure Rural Schools program provides $285 million in payments in lieu of property tax revenues to more than 775 rural counties and 4,400 schools located near national forests and reserves throughout the country. Because these national forests and other federal properties are exempt from property taxes, this program provides federal payments to the respective jurisdictions to help support public schools, forest health projects and other governmental operations.

Q: How to override the attr_protected? I have STI implementation as follows:
class Automobile < ActiveRecord::Base
end

class Car < Automobile
end

class Truck < Automobile
end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :automobiles
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :automobiles
end

I am creating a list of automobiles for a user. For each automobile, the UI sets the type field and the properties associated with the automobile.While form submission, the type field is ignored as it is a protected attribute.
How do I work around this issue? Is there a declarative way to unprotect a protected attribute?
Edit:
This is my current solution for the problem:
I override the attributes_protected_by_default private method in my model class.
class Automobile < ActiveRecord::Base
private
  def attributes_protected_by_default
    super - [self.class.inheritance_column]
  end
end

This removes the type field from the protected list.
I am hoping that there is a better way than this.

A: I ended up doing this:
class Automobile < ActiveRecord::Base
private
  def attributes_protected_by_default
    super - [self.class.inheritance_column]
  end
end

A: I would add a helper method on User that instantiates the appropriate subclass:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.automobile_from_type(type)
    self.automobiles << case type
    when "Car"
      Car.new
    when "Truck"
      Truck.new
    else
      raise ArgumentError, "Unknown automobile type: #{type.inspect}"
    end
  end
end

Use it like this:
class AutomobilesController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @automobile = current_user.automobile_from_type(params[:automobile][:type])
    if @automobile.update_attributes(params[:automobile]) then
      redirect_to @automobile
    else
      render :action => :new
    end
  end
end

The code above is "safe": an attacker can't inject arbitrary text into your automobiles.type column. Your solution, while it works, has the disadvantage of enabling attacks.

Alexander and the History of the World of IOV
News from IOV world
The Middle East and North Africa regional headquarters of the International Organization of Folk Art (IOV) published a book, which documents the life of IOV main founder Alexander Veigl and the in-depth story of the organization. The book, titled "Alexander and the History of the World of IOV", edited by the late founder's wife, Anna Veigl-Hof and printed by the Sharjah Institute for Heritage (SIH), was published in both English and German.
The English version was released to members in the IOV General Assembly in Sharjah, in April this year and was then launched by the author in Andorf, Austria, in May of the same year.
"Alexander and the History of the World of IOV", includes many articles and pictures by members of the organization, who worked with Veigl and were a part of the founding of IOV, which includes IOV World President Ali Khalifa. It also has quotes by the founder, a timeline of his achievements, honors he received and many testimonials by friends, who describe the influence Veigl had on them and how they met.
President Ali Khalifa, wrote in the forward that : "By all standards, Alexander Veigl was not an ordinary man who believed in an idea and remained preoccupied by it all his life to see it grow and expand to be as large as the world itself. He was endowed with qualities and personal abilities that can only be embedded in inspired men who worthily utilize them perfectly to the service of a noble objective."
The book also delves into the process it took to set up the IOV and shares the history of the meetings that were held, the conferences, photos and other valuable archival information.
Since its inception, IOV has evolved to include thousands of members from around the world, forming a network of folk artists, performers, researchers and students, all who are passionate about folk art and the preservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Waterwalkerz is the craze that is spreading across swimming pools and water sports lakes around the world. Waterwalkerz is the transfer of sphering to water. You get to run around inside a massive hamster ball on a swimming pool or lake. You will have huge fun.
Waterwalkerz human hamster balls are proving a huge success all over the UK, and indeed around the world in swimming pools, holiday parks, scout activity centres, lakes, beaches – where ever there is water!
Some people have said that Waterwalkerz are like sphering on water, or even sphering in water.
Waterwalkerz allow children and adults to run, roll, spin and flip on water. It's great fun and also is fantastic way to get fit and active. It takes a few times (and a lot more deep breaths) to master the technique – and once you are running around you are still going to have a great workout!
There is nothing much to watersphering. All you do is stand inside the ball at the edge of the water while the supervisor zips it up around you. the supervisor then inserts an air tube and inflates the Waterwalker. Once it is fully inflated, the air hose is removed and the watersphere sealed. You are then released onto the water.
It is up to you what you do inside the water walker. Some people try running, which usually ends up with you falling over alot. You could try moving in a particular direction. If there is more than one of you doing Waterwalkerz, you can play chase or try to bump each other to make the other person fall over. Just remember, there is only a set amount of air in it, so after a while you start using up the oxygen. The supervisor will tell you when to return to shore.
You can have a go at Waterwalkerz at most swimming pools. They are appearing more and more at lakes, and at places with watersports venues such as Center Parcs.
There's nothing to learn really.
What Waterwalker Gear do I Need?
To have a go at Waterwalkerz, you will need to go to a swimming pool or lake where someone provides Waterwalkerz sessions or Waterwalkerz parties. You will need your swimming costume. The leisure provider will provide the inflatable Waterwalkerz ball, and the electrical air pump and hose required to inflate it once you are inside it.
If you fancy Waterwalkerz, visit your local swimming pool to find out if they do it there. If you are on holiday at Center Parcs, you can do water sphering.

When there are kids in the house both time and money can seem to be a barrier to romance. When you were dating and in the early years of your marriage the clock didn't seem to race as quickly and the paycheck seemed to go a lot further. Now that you have children who take up much of your time and money, has the romance suffered?
Growing up with six sisters and dating dozens of women before I married my wonderful wife, I know that most women are not interested with what's in a man's wallet. They want him to share what's in his heart and mind.
Since money is not an excuse for not being romantic, what about the lack of time? Here is a way many couples have successfully kept romance alive in their marriage even with a house full of children.
Establish a date night. Preferably this should be in the middle of the week when both of you are in real need of a breather (this is true for people without children too).If you can't afford a baby-sitter, try to make an arrangement with a neighbor or a family member with offspring where you can trade off watching the children one night a week. Invest in a pager or cellular phone if the children are old enough to stay home alone for a few hours. That way you won't be as nervous about leaving them on their own.
I know you probably think that you can't afford a night off during the week. There is always so much work to be done. Relationships need work and time too and they should be near the top of your priority list!
Now that you have freed up an evening, how do you spend it? I think a good suggestion is to take turns planning your date night. You may want to set a budget for the whole month and either you can take four average costing dates or two cheap dates and two more costly ones each month. You can plan the date in secret or give each other suggestions. Whatever works with your lifestyle is best.
Now that you have made up your mind to initiate date night into your schedule, what will be your first cheap date? Of course, I will give you some suggestions. That's my job.
Stay at home and rent a movie, while eating homemade popcorn and snuggling on the sofa.
Go to a coffeehouse and read poetry or silly short stories aloud to each other while you sip your java.
Take your dinner to the park and then feed bread crusts to the ducks.
Go to lovers lane, talk and smooch while listening to your favorite music.

THE MINERAL ALUMINUM
Chemistry: Al, Elemental Aluminum
Class: Elements
Subclass: Native Metals
Uses: Anywhere a light weight metal is needed, also explosives and medications.
Native aluminum rarely occurs naturally in its elemental form, even though only oxygen and silicon are more abundant in the earth's crust. It has been found in volcanic muds and as tiny grains in highly unusual environments along with other elemental metals.
Aluminum is known as aluminium outside of the United States.
Production of metallic aluminum from ores is done via electrolysis; a large electric current generates aluminum at the cathode, and oxygen is released at the anode.
While aluminum is soft and weak in its pure form, when alloyed with other metals such as copper, magnesium or manganese its mechanical properties can improve greatly. Aluminum only has 60% of the electrical conductivity of copper, but its light weight and relatively low cost make it the preferred metal for many electrical transmission applications. Aluminum is relatively strong (per unit of weight), as strong as steel although only about half as strong as titanium, which when combined with its low cost makes it a popular metal for building things from beer cans to lawn chairs to boats to airplanes. It is easy to manufacture since it is the second most malleable metal and the sixth most ductile - the only difficulty is in welding it.
Actually, aluminum is extremely reactive, and any bare surface instantly grows a microscopic oxide layer (corundum) that is air tight and prevents further oxidation. In extreme heat, aluminum can begin to burn (similarly to magnesium), and can even burn under water by stealing the oxygen from water. The mixture called thermite is powdered aluminum and iron oxide (usually magnetite). When ignited, the aluminum steals the oxygen from the rust, generating a great deal of heat and leaving molten iron. Also, powdered aluminum is the primary fuel (to be oxidized) in slow explosives such as fireworks, and in solid fuel rockets including the Space Shuttle boosters.
It is aluminum's highly reactive nature that prevents the natural occurrence of elemental aluminum in natural specimens. Over a number of years (slow by human time scales, but a blink of an eye in geologic time) any metallic aluminum exposed to weathering processes, water, and oxygen, will decompose. The only native aluminum mineral grains have been found in some highly reduced (low oxygen) recently produced volcanic muds and rocks, plus meteorites. Rarely, native aluminum specimens can be found as grains in polished slabs, but most elemental aluminum specimens sold in rock shops are lab grown, likely by boiling aluminum in a contained vessel and allowing the vapors to condense along the walls and roof of the container. While these specimens can indeed be aesthetically pleasing, they are not natural or native aluminum crystals.

Khalid, who just won the American Music Award for Favorite Male Artist – Soul/R&B, is currently in the studio working on his highly anticipated sophomore album (due out early 2019). Inspired by a recent trip to his home of El Paso, TX, (AKA the "Sun City") where he received the Key to the City, had a day named in his honor, performed two sold out hometown shows, "Suncity" marks the beginning of a new era.
Says Khalid, "More than anything in life right now I want growth. I want my music to grow and represent how I am growing up. "Suncity" is the start of a new era for me, this music poured out of me and I didn't want to wait to share it. I wanted to be able to live in this moment with my fans and my friends and speak from the heart."
Suncity includes Khalid's recently released single "Better" which Billboard called a "sensual single" and PAPER Magazine praised, "Few things sound better than Khalid's silken vocals over an easy throwback track that sounds just as at home in the '90s and it does today."

Suncity feat. Empress Of
Multi-Platinum selling global superstar Khalid has catapulted into massive worldwide success since he released his first single "Location" right before his high school graduation. The song's domination (4x platinum) led to Khalid's major label deal with Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records followed by the release of his debut album, the double platinum certified, American Teen. The album, which garnered Khalid 5 Grammy nominations (along with numerous American Music Award, Billboard Music Award, BET Award, VMA Award,Teen Choice Award, Billboard nominations) received mass critical acclaim with Rolling Stone calling Khalid a "pop prodigy" and TIME Magazine stating, "His thoughtful, relatable reflections on modern youth culture and the limitations of love are just as pitch-perfect as his soulful, measured delivery." American Teen shattered expectations, as it stayed in the Top 200 for 51 weeks, peaked at #4, and stayed in the Top 20 for 48 out of the 51 weeks it was in the Top 200. The singer-songwriter has won a Billboard Music Award, a Teen Choice Award, a MTV Video Music Awards, an MTV's Woodie To Watch Award, most recently an American Music Award, and has over one billion streams worldwide across all partners. In addition to American Teen, Khalid has collaborated with some of music's biggest stars. He has been featured on a number of songs including mega hits like Calvin Harris's "Rollin" with Future, "1-800-273-8255" with Logic and Alessia Cara, "Silence" with Marshmello, "Lovely" with Billie Eilish, "Youth" with Shawn Mendes, and many more. Khalid's current single the 3x platinum, "Love Lies", a duet with Normani recently hit #1 at Top 40 radio and his track "OTW" featuring Ty Dolla $ign and 6lack is burning up the airwaves. Khalid just wrapped up his third sold-out North American headlining tour with stops in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver and recently, the Mayor and Council of the city of El Paso honored him with a "Key To The City" marking September 13th, 2018 "Khalid Day."
