123:1 Findings and Purpose. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the absolute necessity for broadband Internet access for all New Hampshire residents for working, education, medicine, social interaction, and other purposes. The pandemic has also shown gaps in adequate coverage primarily in rural areas of New Hampshire. Increasingly residents are going to require better access to broadband at a sufficient upload and download speed. A matching grant that utilizes state and federal funds shall be matched by political subdivision and private funds is essential to improved broadband access. The general court recognizes that a public-private partnership is essential to developing broadband access required in New Hampshire.

When awarding grants, the office of strategic initiatives shall take into consideration broad geographic coverage of broadband services in New Hampshire and participation of political subdivisions and broadband providers in the grant process that will support business and residential users.
II. Eligible projects shall provide high speed Internet access in unserved areas of the state that lack access to broadband services, as defined in RSA 38:38, I(f), from at least one broadband provider.
III. Any broadband provider, political subdivision, or communications district formed under RSA 53-G shall be eligible for a grant of up to 50 percent of the total eligible costs of a project.

Third country news in the monetary model of the exchange rate
John Jackson
Henry Thompson
Juliet Zheng
John Douglas Jackson
With third country bonds added to the monetary model of exchange rate news, third country news would have a theoretical effect on exchange rate news. The present paper uncovers empirical evidence of third country (USA) news for a number of exchange rates. Further, insignificant income, interest rate, and inflation variables in the two country model become significant with third country news, suggesting model misspecification. The unexplained variance of exchange rates may not be due to speculative bubbles as supposed, and foreign exchange markets may not be as efficient as they have appeared.

Educating Rita
Exemplifying Adult Learning
Learning is said to be lifelong. This is why it is no wonder that we see adults learning all around, at work, in school, even in social settings. Adult learning, however, if in a university setting, follows certain processes that behaviorists describe in several stages, with regards to motivations. According to "Principles of Adult Learning," these include:
Adults are autonomous and self-directed.
Adults have accumulated a foundation of life experiences and knowledge that may include work-related activities, family responsibilities, and previous education.
Adults are goal-oriented.
Adults are relevancy-oriented.
Adults are practical, focusing on the aspects of a lesson most useful to them in their work.
As do all learners, adults need to be shown respect.
These principles of adult education are very important for many expect them to be inherently followed, and if this is done, the learning will be fruitful. This paper will…… [Read More]

Oedipus the King by Sophocles
Both men suffer, and both men have to continue living with that suffering, while losing the people they care about the most. That tragedy is even more apparent in Dove's work, with the misunderstanding about Augustus and what he managed to do in the plantation house. His fate seems more tragic, somehow, because he is being commended for something that he did not do, and is being treated as a hero when in fact he is nothing of the sort. He will have to live up to that reputation in the slave community and it is clear that he will not be able to continue that pretense for very long.
In conclusion, both of these plays use the central theme of incest for different purposes. Dove uses it to illustrate the enduring images of slavery, relationships between blacks and whites and how they were skewed, and how slaves were abused…… [Read More]

Ross (1988) notes the development of Romanticism in the late eighteenth century and indicates that it was essentially a masculine phenomenon:
Romantic poetizing is not just what women cannot do because they are not expected to; it is also what some men do in order to reconfirm their capacity to influence the world in ways socio-historically determined as masculine. The categories of gender, both in their lives and in their work, help the Romantics establish rites of passage toward poetic identity and toward masculine empowerment. Even when the women themselves are writers, they become anchors for the male poets' own pursuit for masculine self-possession. (Ross, 1988, 29)
Mary ollstonecraft was as famous as a writer in her day as her daughter. Both mother and daughter were important proponents of the rights of women both in their writings and in the way they lived and served as role models for other…… [Read More]

Abo Fem Towards Hearing and
It is in this way that fiction from female aboriginal Canadian writers both empowers the authors and their people and brings to light better understandings of what native Canadians have faced and must continue to face. One native scholar on the subject has been quoted as saying, "our task…is two fold. To examine the past and culturally affirm toward a new future" (Armstrong, in Acoose 227). It is not simply a rumination on past injuries that this literature provides, but a way of analyzing the past that allows for forward movement.
It is also impossible to consider the literature produced by members of this community as pure fictions, but rather some historical knowledge is necessary to fully appreciate the intricacies and events of stories like in Search of April Raintree. The largely negative nature of the events of the novel and the rapidity with which they take place is easily…… [Read More]

Feminism Heaney and Dickinson Feminist
Because society compromises the value of the woman, it is allowed the life of domesticity and life. The speaker however remains forever beyond this because she chooses self-realization instead.
In Heaney's "Punishment," feminism can be seen from the male viewpoint, as it were. The corpse of a bog girl, an adulteress, educates the narrator regarding issues of gender and politics. The narrator, far from the conventional male reaction of disgust, instead becomes infatuated with her. It is as if he is the male representative of the feminist viewpoint; that women offer value and education rather than objects of sex or symbols of domesticity. The intimacy between the speakers involve no blame. Instead of man and woman, they are equals, in strong contrast with the society that would condemn them both for their actions and their association.

McDonald's Company, responding to the growing need to train its employees and managers to provide excellent customer service to its 18, 380 branches worldwide, has established the Hamburger University. The Hamburger University was established in 1961 to serve as a worldwide Management Training Center, with its main headquarters located in Oak rook, Illinois. It currently educates and trains 65, 000 managers from around the world, and has training centers in England, Japan, Germany, and Australia. The Hamburger University in Illinois trains McDonald's employees to achieve global training in fast food restaurant management, which mainly centers on customer satisfaction and service. One of the most important features of the McDonald's global training is its ability to fuse both local and international standards of customer service.

Their heritage is important because certain ethnic groups are more likely to be carriers of Tay-Sachs. "The incidence of Tay-Sachs is particularly high among people of Eastern European and Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Patients and carriers of Tay-Sachs disease can be identified by a simple blood test that measures beta-hexosaminidase a activity." (NINDS, 2011). Because the Trosacks have a fetus with Tay-Sachs, it is not necessary to test their blood and examine the beta-hexosaminidase a activity of either of the parents. However, doing so may help Peter transition out of denial and understand the reality of the diagnosis.
Tay-Sachs impacts a person by interfering with genetic lipid storage. An insufficiency of the enzyme beta-hexosaminidase a, which is responsible for biodegrading gangliosides, leads to a buildup of the ganglioside GM2 in tissues and nerve cells in the brain (NINDS, 2011). Because gangliosides develop, and normally degrade, rapidly in infancy, the disease progresses…… [Read More]

Katrina Children Lost Forgotten and
For children, going to school, even a new school, provided a sense of order. It also gave parents time to plan for the future. Wealthier parents were able to enroll their children in private schools. Poorer families faced a greater struggle.
In Texas, officials reported enrolling19,000 children displaced by the storm (Katrowitz and reslau, 2005). They were able to waive normal rules, such as proving residency or providing immunization records. The opportunity to start over was critical for thousands of families, including Kathy Jemison and her daughter, Sarah McClelland, 17. The night before the storm hit, they gathered their clothes, keepsakes and important documents (such as birth certificates and Social Security cards). As the storm was destroying their home, they drove 15 hours to a friend's house in San Antonio. Sarah began her senior year at San Antonio's MacArthur High School, and Kathy, who worked for a bank in New…… [Read More]

As activists in women's liberation, discussing and analyzing the oppression and inequalities they experienced as women, they felt it imperative to find out about the lives of their foremothers -- and found very little scholarship in print" (Women's history, 2012, para. 3). This dearth of scholarly is due in large part to the events and themes that are the focus of the historical record. In this regard, "History was written mainly by men and about men's activities in the public sphere -- war, politics, diplomacy and administration. Women are usually excluded and, when mentioned, are usually portrayed in sex-stereotypical roles, such as wives, mothers, daughters and mistresses. History is value-laden in regard to what is considered historically 'worthy'" (Women's history, 2012, para. 3).

Condoleezza Rice Inspiration for Any
Rice even started attending college before she graduated high school. It was an experience that helped her learn about herself, Felix writes. It is "almost a footnote the musical accomplishments Condi made at fifteen" (Felix 69). The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education maintains that while African-Americans have often perceived as lazy and inarticulate, Rice "made a huge contribution to dismantling the traditional stereotype" (22) while speaking at the National Commission on Terrorism. During the questioning, she "finessed and Cheshire-catted her way through some tough questions" (23) and while she was defending Bush's administration's actions prior to September 11, she remained "forceful and compelling in public testimony before the 9/11 commission" (23). Clearly, the poise that Rice learned as a little girl came in handy when she needed it the most. Many reports about Rice's demeanor during the questioning was nothing but admirable of her grace, charm, and poise.

Community Colleges in America
In 1983 and 1984, a dozen major reports on the United States' schools were published. All stressed the need for "excellence" in education. These reports are the subject of: Excellence in Education: Perspectives on Policy and Practice. The reports pertaining to higher education were published by The BusinessHigher Education Forum, and saw higher education as "unable to train skilled managers and technicians that they believed industry needed." (Altbach 32) These reports essentially claim that student achievement has declined at technical schools because schools "do not demand enough of their students, do not apply stiff criteria for promotion, do not test students enough, and particularly in high school, provide students with too many choices about what subjects they study." (Altbach 32) These reports are somewhat dated in that they compare American students with Japanese students and focus on technical proficiency vs. The intuitive grasp of problems and…… [Read More]

Latinos -- Introduction it Is
And Vela-Gude's article offers several of the main points of this paper's research; the services must be ready, and the counselors must be thoroughly informed and knowledgeable about the cultural implications as well as the academic realities facing those Latino students (2009).
Racism Against Latinos
This paper alludes to the high number of Latinos in California and Texas, but according to the Southern Poverty Law Center's research, the South is home to one of the "fastest growing populations of Latinos in the country" (Bauer, et al., 2009, p. 4). But though the typical Latino immigrant comes to the South to escape "crushing poverty in their home countries" they often encounter "…widespread hostility, discrimination and exploitation" (Bauer, 2009, p. 4).
hat kinds of discrimination do Latinos come up against in the South? Mary Bauer and her chief researcher, Sarah Reynolds, claim that Latinos are "…routinely cheated out of their earnings…… [Read More]

The pathways scheme aims to offer opportunities for every grade of practitioner. This is part of a national process that anticipates quality improvement as a continuously evolving process.
Achieving fair and equal access to professional development for nurses and healthcare providers in the private sector has been difficult in the past. Education has sometimes been viewed as expensive and time-consuming, with staff release for learning difficult to achieve especially acute staff shortages are a definable obstacle already to effective treatment provision. However, it is vital to the principle of performance improvement and the pursuit of standardizing quality outcomes that healthcare provision be based on the active pursuit of staff excellence. This is to be seen as a far more desirable approach to personnel orientation than the imposition of sanctions for poor performance. Central to this is the need for improvement of the local facility's knowledge economy. To this extent, knowledge…… [Read More]

According to the Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, this book offers "a comprehensively referenced guide to autism," created in part by TEACCH, " a forerunner in research and treatment for individuals" afflicted with autism, such as children and young adults. Overall, this book contains a very detailed overview of autism, such as its clinical history, diagnosis, biological causes, neuropsychological mechanisms and treatment options (Amazon.com review, Internet). For educators, Mesibov, one of the most recognized experts on autism, provides many in-depth solutions on how to teach and inform autistic children, both in the classroom and at home. This book was also written with parents in mind as a guide to raising, educating and maintaining strong relationships with autistic children.

This excellent website, owned and operated by the Autism Independent Group of the United Kingdom, points out that educational services for children with autism should be composed of two specific goals, being to "increase their understanding and make the environment more comprehensible." This website also contains a very in-depth section on learning aids for teachers and educational professionals, such as sensory integration, setting the proper climate for learning, innovative software for speech, stages learning materials for speech and language, educational toys for children with autism and related disorders, and a comprehensive link for parents and teachers that provides free learning aids. Overall, this website is invaluable for not only parents but also teachers and other educational specialists who study, treat and educate children with autism.
Boards of Directors Are Driven
One other new thing brought to the attention of companies by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is the fact that, under this law, every public company is supposed to prove strong internal systems designed to catch an employee intending to commit fraud or flag accounting errors before a company has the opportunity to make its profits official. An addendum to this rule is the obligation of a company knowing about problems with its control systems to disclose what it has uncovered. This obligation generated what an author called the "current flood of mea culpas."
As mentioned above, many companies have faced serious difficulties during the last few years. Companies conducting their activity in Silicon Valley, for instance, such as Versant, Portal Software and Sipex, have acknowledged that they have encountered problems such as not having experienced accounting staff, lacking checks and balances in the case of employees handling corporate cash and the…… [Read More]

People Learn
Edward C. Tolman was a man whose research focused on trying to understand how animals acquire knowledge. As a psychologist, he also tried to determine how the mind of the human being paralleled what he saw in lower life forms. What he found was that motivation was a primary factor in how people learn. A rat in a maze would find the hidden pieces of tasty cheese far more quickly if the animal had been left hungry than if he or she had been fed before the test had been administered. Subsequently, the rats learned to equate their examinations with the obtaining of food stuffs (Tolman 1948). Similarly, human beings learn to equate knowledge with acquisition of things that they desire. Students from the youngest of ages are told that good grades will be rewarded, not merely in the abstract but with physical reward such as money or…… [Read More]

Immunizations and Public Org India
The resulting information points to the idea that there are more factors at play than simply developing and then providing vaccination doses to developing nations. The action plans that produce better results are paramount to success, and factors of social significance are just as important as or more important than having enough clinicians or clinics to administer the immunizations. The idea that community based and local volunteers would be needed to help administer and do family teaching about immunizations in India is also supported by Prinja, Gupta, Singha & Kumar who stress that in their large trial, associated with timely vaccinations of children in India with the DPT vaccination the results were far better when local volunteers were recruited as the presence of these individuals as well as their supportive education helped individuals better understand the need for their children to get the vaccination (eb-97).

Woolworth Australia Redefining the Brand
The stories that resonate most with the target audience are ones that feature young, upwardly mobile men and women in the 30s attaining their health, social and professional goals by staying fit and enjoying their friends. These are fundamental needs in the target market from a psychographic standpoint, as is the need to be responsible about the environment while being egalitarian as well (Peattie, Crane, 2005).
The messaging needs to center on these core concepts of health, belongingness and friendship, and egalitarianism including being environmentally responsible when purchasing groceries and consumer packaged goods. The messaging will center on a day-in-the-life choices these consumers make to preserve the planet and achieve a healthier lifestyle for themselves as well. Implicit in this messaging is the need for bringing out the leadership Australian grocery and packaged goods providers have shown with regard to nutrient profiling (Bryans, 2009) and the positioning of Woolworth as…… [Read More]

It was followed by more record-breaking flights. Her story, on the other hand, was cut short with her 1937 flight which ended in her mysterious disappearance (Amelia Earhart Website n.d.).
Earhart's story indeed reflects that a lot of women during this period of American history were engaged in activities that were first labeled as masculine in nature. Earhart's achievement reflected the sense of equality between men and women that have long been fought for by women of the earlier period of history.
Towards more active political participation
We have seen how particular socio-historical features of the 19th century -- these being the strengthening of women's educational facilities as well as the job opportunities that went with the industrial changes of this period, gave way to women's demand for equal participation in the political sphere.
During the early 20th century, women were influential in welfare advocacy, particularly in the formulation and…… [Read More]

Environmental Policies Give an Example
The 1980s (the period when onald eagan was the U.S. President) witnessed a series of government measures targeting environmental regulations. This resulted in public outrage against the anti-environmental policies of the government leading to a renewed interest in nature clubs and groups and the formation of radical groups who led strong movements to protect the environment. (vii) the post- eagan resurgence (1990s onwards) - President Bush and President Clinton did not take the radical stance of their predecessor. However, President George W. Bush has taken many measures which have weakened the environmental movement instead of strengthening it. This includes opposing curbs on greenhouse emissions via the Kyoto Protocol, supporting oil drilling in the ANW or Arctic National Wildlife ange, weakening clean air standards and lifting the ban on logging in forests.

Despite increased student fees, the UC still encountered a $500 million shortfall or $2,500 per student. It has been undergoing severe pressure from the impact of the cuts. The quality of education at the U.S. has remained high, but there have been disturbing signs of erosion, nevertheless. The widening gap between the UC and the best private university has been alarming because the UC competes for the top teachers and students with these private universities. This widening gap should be a critical concern to the state and the federal governments because even excellent private universities are too small to meet California's or the nation's needs for a well-educated workforce in the future, to come up with innovations needed to fuel the economy and to generate jobs, and to introduce medical advances for the use and care of the sick and disabled.

Homosexual Teenagers in America This Is Because
homosexual teenagers in America. This is because numerous research studies have revealed that both male and female homosexuals are at danger not only from the traditional cultural forces but also from their sexual and non-sexual behavior and habits. Discrimination against homosexuals has been an extensively researched topic. Many scholars have asked for better curriculums and schooling environment for children from all backgrounds so that they grow up to appreciate sexual diversity. People who oppose homosexuality ought to know that this phenomenon is an extremely old tradition and has deep cultural roots and thus should be appreciated like all other ancient cultures. As Carla Mathison (1998) writes "Gay men and lesbians are not identified by their sex, ethnicity, religion, geographic location, socioeconomic or ability level but by their orientation to their own gender that includes, but is not limited to, sexual intimacy.

No one who is intelligent, literate, and who is paying attention could avoid the fact that much of the world today is in need of fresh and creative ways to resolve cultural and social conflicts and to build better communities where families feel safe and futures seem secure. ar, bloodshed, racial rage, and mindless military carnage -- in addition to the disturbing, ongoing violence against women -- make up too much of the front pages of daily newspapers.

Why Euthanasia Should Be Legal
Euthanasia Should e Illegal
Euthanasia is the act of putting to death painlessly or allowing death, as by withholding extreme medical measures, a person or animal suffering from an incurable, often painful, disease or condition (Euthanasia, Infoplease.com). Today, medical advances have made it possible to prolong life in patients with no hope of recovery, and the term negative euthanasia has arisen to classify the practice of withholding or withdrawing extraordinary means (e.g., intravenous feeding, respirators, and artificial kidney machines) to preserve life. Positive euthanasia, on the other hand, has come to refer to actions that actively cause death such as administering a lethal drug.
Much debate has arisen in the United States among physicians, religious leaders, lawyers, and the general public over euthanasia (Euthanasia, Infoplease.com). Pro-euthanasia societies were founded in 1935 in England and 1938 in the United States. The Hemlock Society is one group that has pressed for right-to-die…… [Read More]

Standardized Coding Systems and Nursing
Each standardized nursing language is designed for use in a number of clinical settings, including home care, ambulatory care, and inpatient treatment, with certain languages providing decided advantages within particular circumstances. Although it is true that "improved communication with other nurses, health care professionals, and administrators of the institutions in which nurses work is a key benefit of using a standardized nursing language" (utherford, 2008), the proliferation of several nursing languages throughout the years has inevitably resulted in discrepancies, wherein the personal preferences of nurses, the policy of a hospital's corporate ownership, or other factors determine when, where, and why a specific language is used.
To address the growing concern over the inability of nurse's to communicate through a single standardized language system, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) commissioned a comprehensive study which resulted in the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) being selected as the most advantageous option.…… [Read More]

For some of us, it's nearly impossible to get anything done without that cup of coffee first thing in the morning that seems to wake us up immediately and put us in a much more alert and pleasant mood.

This looks really good. I'd actually just downloaded the Xubuntu iso to put on my old PC for my boys. This fits the bill nicely. Downloading now. Cheers.
You should be able to follow the instruction for creating a USB install for Ubuntu, since that is really all Qimo is under the graphics.
This looks great! I've got an old laptop that I'll try this on for my 6 year old daughter. Hopefully the proc will be up to the task.
I miss something in the info about Qimo. I didn't find list of the games in Qimo.
Hi, what is the password when installing?
There is no password when running off the CD. If you're prompted for one, just press Enter. You won't be able to install from the Qimo desktop, you'll have to log out and back in as the Live Session User.
Hi! Nice work! I have a 7 year old daughter and I'll try Qimo!
– What release of Ubuntu is Qimo based on?
– What about the release cycle? Do you think to release a new Qimo every 6 months?
– How do I get updates and bug fixes? Is it possible to get updates from Ubuntu standard repositories?
Qimo 1.0 is based on Ubuntu 8.10. We plan on following a 6 month release cycle like Ubuntu, with Qimo 2.0 being based on Ubuntu 9.04. Qimo still uses Ubuntu's repositories for everything, so you will still get update from them. We will hopefully have a PPA or something setup for Qimo's specific additions by version 2.
Thanks so much for Qimo. My 3.5yo loves it, and has been using it trouble free for about a month.
I've encountered a wrinkle, though — somehow she managed to make all the desktop icons (the launcher bar thing on the bottom and the menu at the top) disappear. Now we just have the eskimo smiling out at us from a blank desktop. Is there a quick fix for this?
Glad you were able to find a solution, we'll definitely try and find a way to prevent kids from accidentally deleting the panels.
seems when i install Qiomo I only get Ubuntu,by the way a very good program just wonderful,thanks !!
When you installed, did you select the autologin option for the new account you created? If so, that's the problem. You'll need to change it to autologin to the user account "qimo". You can do this from the System menu.
Hi, i tried to run qimo live form the cd, but as it started to load itslf, after few moments it exited to BusyBox, and left me with nothing but a console ;/ tried to run in safegraphics mode, but the result is the same… any ideas?
If your hardware is up to spec, I'd suspect the CD might be bad. Did you burn it at the lowest possible speed?
3] How do I log in as my user in order to more easily do some of this admin stuff?
Where are you getting the ATI drivers from? The ones available in the repository should be good. Though the open source ATI drivers are pretty good, unless you have a newer card you're probably better of with those.
You'll have to log out of the kid's desktop and back in as the user account you created when you installed. You can't perform any administrative tasks from the kid's account.
You can log out from the Q Menu at the top of the screen. Select "Log Out" and it will take you to the login screen, you'll only have a short amount of time to select your user account and enter the password before it will automatically log back in at the kid's account.
Well, it didn't have a "Logout" in the menu – there's a "Quit" item, which brings you to the Shutdown/Logout/Switch User dialog. Doh.
2] Add user forums here, so we can talk about Qimo in other places than the blog comments!
Unfortunately Adobe's licensing terms for Flash don't allow us to distribute it as a part of Qimo. You will need to install it yourself after you have installed Qimo. Fortunately, this is easy enough to do, simply search for "Flash Plugin" in the Add/Remove dialog, check the box next to "Macromedia Flash Plugin", then press the "Apply Changes" button.
Forums will be coming in the future, though they may require that we move the site off it's current CMS and onto something like Drupal.
How can I enable the qimo repository on an existing system, or are there standalone packages I can install?
Now that 9.04 is released, is it safe to upgrade to that via the update manager?
I haven't tried it yet, but since all the packages in Qimo came from Ubuntu's repositories, it should be fine.
The menu system disappeared on ours too — both the computer I had just built and was testing for my nephew and the one that I made for my children a few weeks before. I don't think it was something the children did because it disappeared as firefox closed when my husband was teaching our 6 year old about email.
What fixed it, for me at least. Go to the quit menu. Switch users to the admin account (the one with the password) and open a terminal window with that userid.
(I suppose you could probably just do that one.) Anyway. When I rebooted after that the menus came back. Now that I know, I need to go fix it on the other computer — and probably turn off the one I'm making for my nephew so it can't get broken again between now and then. I want to learn how to edit the dock and add firefox to it first though.
hi, first, congratulations, awesome proyect!; I can install Quimo on a imac g3(with requeriments aproved) or PPC plataform? thnx.
We don't have a PowerPC port yet, but it is something we plan of doing when we can.
and what about Parental control ?
real problem is not it?
We are evaluating parental controls for version 2 of Qimo.
This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce my five year old to computers and the world of Linux. I'm installing it right now on an old Toshiba laptop we had lying around. Thank you!
Looks great, only question I have is how do i get the Qimo look for the other users. I need 3 seperate logins but want them all to have the Qimo look.
There's no straight forward way to do that right now. You would need to create the new user, then copy everything from /home/qimo into the new user's home folder, and chown to the new user.
Hi. Qimo looks great and a fun way to introduce my kids to computers.
I run Vista on my gaming rig and have a Mac for work, but I don't have a dedicated computer that I could use for Qimo. Do you know how easy it is to dual-boot? Can you use something like Wubi or Paralells?
You can use Wubi or Paralells, or just run it from the LiveCD if you want.
I just want to say thanks, this software is really good!! ..
I just have a question?? the screen size can be changed???.. I'm having problems visualizing some programs with the actual sreen resolution ( i think 800×600?).. is there a way to change it?
Hi… great concept and look with Qimo.
I install Qimo and then update it to 9.04. I add an administrator account and want to add three accounts for three children. I add the children's accounts to the Qimo group. The kids accounts end up looking like the basic xubuntu interface. I'm messing with the profiles and suddenly an account "mhall" shows up as I'm adjusting user rights. I'm also a bit surprised that after the upgrade to 9.04 I can't see a "qimo" user during the graphical login. I can log in with the account but it's not visible. I go to add the account and I can't… it's there; but not visible to the boot splash screen.
I can't remember how to clone user profiles… but that's a linux issue and not specifically a Qimo issue. Great distro concept and I'd like to see it grow in several directions. Though I have issues with Ubuntu as the base. That is also a linux thing.
Thanks for all your efforts I'm going to try to force feed this on myself and then my kids.
Amazingly cool distro. Did the upgrades as well. Like Keith above, I would like to clone the Qimo user so I can have one per kid. Can't find Qimo in the profiles. How do I do that?
Hi all! I need some help. So I burnt the CD as an ISO imamge blah blah and it will boot to the QIMO screen that says Try Qimo, Install, Check CD for defects, Test Memory, and Boot from First Hard Disk. My problem is that when I select Try Qimo or anything OTHER that Boot from first hard disk, I press enter and it does not responnd. However, if I press enter on Boot from first hard drive it takes me back to the windows screen. Why wont it accept enter???
Regarding the issue of the disappearing panel, I get that too, and it's repeatable every time: boot Qimo, start Tuxpaint by clicking on the panel and play with it, quit and don't save. Back at the desktop, panel and menu are gone. Boom, every time. I haven't investigated further so I don't know if there is any workaround.
Also, for me, trying the upgrade to 9.04 failed completely and rendered the system unbootable. Note that I tried this from a completely new system so I had not let Qimo be updated with any of the Ubuntu patches for 8.10, that might have affected the process. Now I just run with all 8.10 patches applied.
Congratulations for the idea, hopefully before we can enjoy 6 months of version 2.
I have installed but not operating correctly qimo there are some applications that produce error in the frequency of the monitor (LG Flatron), reading the blog and use ALT-F1 can access the application, but not the way I need to operate.
I am with Heather up above. I have confirmed that my old Dell meets hardware requirements and is running ok when booted from Windows — its CD drive is functioning properly — I have downloaded Qimo .iso twice and burned it to three cds using ISO recorder — After boot from CD, the main Qimo screen appears but none of the options work. They all time out after many minutes of drive action. Sometimes I get a DOS-like screen with four driver install items checked – but then nothing. Halp!
Unfortunately, the suspend function didn't work properly with my PC Chips M811 motherboard. So I tried running the 9.04 upgrade but it failed spectacularly. Maybe I should have answered "Replace" for the GDM config files instead of "Keep"?
Also, do you have any 'in' with the various projects whose software you're including? It would be nice if they all had a more similar interface. Also, some of the programs are more usable than others, for little kids at least. For instance, it would be nice if the programs immediately opened-up to a usable screen (rather than a start or config screen). It would also be nice if they all had a red EXIT button. For instance, Tux Paint is a GREAT program but my 3 year-old can never remember how to close it.
You can use the same instructions for putting Ubuntu on the eeepc.
Greetings. Really cool flavor of Linux! And the kids are going to love it too! Just wondering though. When installing I entered in a username and password and left the auto login box unchecked. And how that I'm in Qimo I would like to do administrative things or SU things. Any idea what the password would be by chance? Or could you tell me where I go to set the password up? I have typed in every word or phrase I can think of that would be the password and still no go. Thanks.
I agree totally with Tony. My 4 yr old son also has the same problem exiting any program. As a result he keeps all the programs running at the same time and doesn't know or remember how to close them. The desktop becomes a mess and strange mixed sounds from all of them (the ones which have sound).
There should be a good icon or indication (or warning may be) so that the kids know how and when to close them. I know this is not an issue of Qimo but if thought over and included, it would be really nice and easy for the kids.
to prevent kids from running several software at the same time, if an animated character could come up and warn the kid user and/or give an option to close the previous running program manually or automatically (with Linux scripts in the background), would be really nice and helpful.
we're looking into way to prevent kids from running more than one game at a time. The easiest would be to just prevent running a second game while another is already running. I'm concerned that some of the youngest kids might not understand the options if we ask them if they want to close the previous program.
I know this has been mentioned before, but it would be great if there was a Qimo version that would work on G3 iMacs. I help with a nonprofit that refurbishes computers and gives them to people who can't afford one, and sometimes we get those cute iMacs.
We use Qimo on some of the pc's we refurbish, and it seems like Qimo would be an ideal choice for iMacs!
Maybe CruxPPC would be a good basis for a MacQimo?
You can probably ask him for help or directions for getting it setup.
hi want to to a great big thankyou. its about time someone helped both parents (installing programmes etc) and the little ones to learn. great programme and id recommend all day everyday.
i recently installed and then went into admin and it showed there was a big update so i updated it and now have lost qimo unless i go through the main desktop. was i wrong in doing the install? im about to reinstall so it boots to qimo BUT in future do i not do any updates and by not doing the updates does that make the laptop and my child vunroble to spam/scams and viruses?
how can I power down the System?
At the bottom of the "Q Menu" button in the top-left corner, there should be an entry for shutdown, or log out, or something like that. It will bring up a windows asking what you want to do (Shutdown, restart, suspend, etc).
Hi, works great from the cd I burned, but it automatically loads from cd and won't let me choose to install. Arrow keys don't work on boot page, it just waits 10-15 seconds and loads from the cd. Any idea?
Still no .deb? What gives?
Family gives. We're hoping to have it out soon, but we don't have a specific timeline as to when.
If you're capable of helping us come up with the .deb stuff, we'd be grateful for the help!
Edubuntu is another version of Linux, also derived from Ubuntu. It contains many of the same games as Qimo, but it designed to be run in school classrooms and computer labs, as such it has more network management tools than Qimo, and requires more setup.
How about joining the Debian Jr. project?
It doesn't look like the Debain Jr. project is still active, but I will try and get in touch with them.
Just read the FAQ and it explained alot. Thanks.
Does Qimo have chinese language version?
I'm not sure how many of the Qimo packages have Chinese translations, but you can try installing under your language of choice and see for yourself. I know there are additional language packs available for download on the internet, if the initial install doesn't have enough.
Great work! I am fairly new to Linux, I tried the live CD and my kids loved it. I installed it dual-boot with the existing XP system and things went well. I disabled the automatic login and put a pw on the Qimo account so my 3 year old doesn't spend every free moment booting up the pc. What are your thoughts regarding parental controls in future releases? I put the Glubble addon in Firefox which does a nice job controlling web access for little ones.
Just wanted to drop a line with some positive feedback.
I love Ubuntu and have it running dual-boot on several of my PCs. This will be great for my kids PC hooked up to the big tv.

La démographie d'Auxy, commune rurale du département du Loiret, en région Centre-Val de Loire, est caractérisée par une densité faible et une population en croissance modérée depuis 1982.

En , Auxy comptait  habitants, soit une évolution de  % par rapport à 2006. La population est plus âgée que celle de la France métropolitaine.

L'évolution démographique, les indicateurs démographiques, la pyramide des âges, l'état matrimonial, les caractéristiques de l'emploi et le niveau de formation sont détaillés ci-après.

Évolution démographique

L'évolution du nombre d'habitants est connue à travers les recensements de la population effectués périodiquement dans la commune depuis 1793.
Après une phase de relative stabilité au début du , la population de la commune a décru pour atteindre un minimum en 1982 avec . En 2009, la commune a regagné son niveau des années 20.

Une réforme du mode de recensement permet à l'Insee de publier les populations légales des communes annuellement à partir de 2006. Pour les communes de moins de , les recensements ont lieu tous les cinq ans, les populations légales intermédiaires sont quant à elles estimées par calcul. Le premier recensement exhaustif de la commune entrant dans le cadre de ce nouveau dispositif a eu lieu en .

En , Auxy comptait  habitants, soit une évolution de  % par rapport à 2006.

Indicateurs démographiques

Densité

La densité de population  d'Auxy, mesurant le nombre de personnes par unité de surface, est passée de 36,9 habitants/km2 en 1968 à 50,2 en 2009. Elle est, en 2009, 1,9 fois plus faible que la densité moyenne du département du Loiret (96,5), 1,3 fois plus faible que celle de la région Centre (64,8) et 2,3 fois que celle de la France métropolitaine (114,8).

Cet indicateur situe la commune au  au niveau départemental (sur 334 communes) et au  au niveau national (France métropolitaine), sur .

Soldes naturels et migratoires
La variation moyenne annuelle de la population a augmenté depuis les années 1970. De -1,3 % sur la période 1968-1975, elle est passée à 1,7 % sur la période 1999-2009, quand celle du département du Loiret a baissé de 1,9 % à 0,6 %. Le solde naturel annuel, qui est la différence entre  le nombre de naissances et le nombre de décès enregistrés au cours d'une même année, connaît une forte augmentation, puisque la variation annuelle due au solde naturel passe de -1,8 à -1,2. La baisse du taux de natalité, qui passe de 11,7 % à 11 %, est en fait relativement compensée par la baisse du taux de mortalité, qui parallèlement passe de 10,9 à 8,6.

Le flux migratoire est en  hausse, le taux annuel passant de 0,5 à 2,9 %, traduisant une hausse des implantations nouvelles dans la commune.

Le taux de natalité est passé de 11,7 ‰ sur la période 1968-1975 à 11 ‰  sur la période 1999-2009.  Celui du département était sur la période 1999-2009 de 13,1 ‰ et celui de la France métropolitaine de  12,8 ‰.

Le taux de mortalité est quant à lui passé de 29,3 ‰ sur la période 1968-1975 à 23,5 ‰  sur la période 1999-2009. Celui du département était sur cette dernière période de 8,5 ‰ et celui de la France de 8,8 ‰.

 Âge de la population
 Indice de jeunesse
La population d'Auxy présente en 2009 une structure par grands groupes d'âge du même ordre de grandeur d'âge que celle de la France métropolitaine. Il existe en effet  de moins de  pour  de plus de , alors que pour la France l'indice de jeunesse, qui est égal à la division de la part des moins de  par la part des plus de , est de 1,06. L'indice de jeunesse de la commune est également inférieur à celui  du département (1,1) et supérieur à celui de la région (0,95).

La population s'est rajeunie entre 1999 et 2009, le taux des personnes de 60 ans et plus passant de 31 % à 26 %, alors que parallèlement les populations du département et de la France ont quant à elles vieilli, passant respectivement de 20 à 23 % pour le Département et de 20 à 23 % pour la France métropolitaine.

 1999  2009

 Pyramide des âges
La pyramide des âges, à savoir la répartition par sexe et âge de la population, de la commune de Auxy en 2009 ainsi que, comparativement, celle du département du Loiret la même année, sont représentées avec les graphiques ci-dessous.
La population de la commune comporte 48,8 % d'hommes et 51,2 % de femmes. Les tranches pour lesquelles le déséquilibre est le plus prononcé en faveur des femmes sont les tranches 75-90 ans (+28,5 % de femmes) et 90 ans et + (+63,3 % de femmes).

 État matrimonial
En 2009, la commune comptait 32,6 % de célibataires, 46,4 % de personnes mariées, 14,2 % de veufs ou veuves et 6,8 % de divorcé(e)s. Le taux de personnes mariées apparaît ainsi inférieur à celui du département (49,8 %) mais aussi de celui de la France (47,5 %).

Emploi
En 2009, les employés représentaient, avec 136 emplois, la catégorie socioprofessionnelle la plus importante de la population active de la commune (17,3 % contre 16,6 au niveau départemental). En 1999, ils étaient 100 et représentaient 14,4 % de la population active.

La commune comptait par ailleurs, en 2009, 249 retraités, soit 31,7 % de la population de la commune et 4,4 % de plus que le taux départemental. Cet écart s'est toutefois réduit par rapport à celui de 1999 puisqu'il était alors de 12,1 %.

 1999  2009

Niveau de formation
Le taux de personnes non scolarisées sans diplôme a augmenté entre 1999 (24 %) et 2009 (28,2 %). Il est supérieur à celui du Loiret (18,3 %)  et à celui de la France métropolitaine (18,3 %).
Parallèlement le taux de personnes titulaires d'un diplôme de l'enseignement supérieur long est passé de 3,3 % en 1999 à 4,7 % en 2009, un taux inférieur à celui du Loiret (10,5 %) et au taux national relatif à la France métropolitaine (12,7 %).

You are here: WPCandy News WPBundle launches their 10 theme bundle after months of preparation
WPBundle launches their 10 theme bundle after months of preparation
Posted by Ryan Imel on December 14, 2010
WPBundle, the theme shop from Liam McKay and Spencer Finnel that partnered with WooThemes three months ago, launched yesterday after a six day delay due to the WooThemes DoS attacks. The launch makes their ten themes (and bonus icon set) available to anyone with $250 to drop on them.
While they aren't releasing sales numbers, they did share some pre-sales numbers. The team sent out approximately 1,500 discount codes to those who subscribed to their email list in the months leading up to the launch. WooThemes also gave their own customer base a discount, which included an email that went out on launch day.
The themes are mostly unique in their purposes. For example:
SnapBlog is a photo theme.
Nimble is a tumblog/microblog theme.
Knowledgebase is a (you guessed it) theme intended for knowledgebases and wikis.
Roaming is a theme designed to act as a city guide.
In regards to the launch of WPBundle itself, McKay said:
Leading up to the launch was tense. But probably the most tense part was during the server attacks, just not knowing how long we'd be down for was tough. It took 6 days until the server was stable enough for us to launch, much longer than expected, but that was purely down to the severity of the attack.
Since the launch it's been fine, we're just getting used to dealing with support & answering emails etc. It's something that's quite new to us, but luckily the guys at WooThemes are here to help us out, and they know exactly what they're doing. We're just trying to juggle all the tasks at the moment until we get into the rhythm of it, then we're going to hop back in and finish the work on the next round of free updates we're already working on.
The bundle of theme can be purchased for $250, or less depending on whether you are eligible for their various discounts. The bundle price includes updates and support for life.
4 thoughts on "WPBundle launches their 10 theme bundle after months of preparation"
The themes are nice, but I was hoping for a lower price – being a holiday bundle. For a little over $300 a year, you can have access to all Woothemes Themes (I think there is over 80 of them).
jeroen says:
$250 for a freelance audience is way to expensive. I'm not even considering buying
I agree. Too expensive. The lifetime membership to StudioPress is just a tad bit more and you get a lot more themes. Plus, they consistently update their themes and release new ones.
They should have started off with a lower price until they built up a following and a bigger inventory.
Liam McKay says:
"Plus, they consistently update their themes and release new ones." – As do we. Also it's worth nothing that with the variations and child themes etc we've currently got around 50 items. Plus there's a heck of a lot more themes & variations coming that will be released as free updates to customers.

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.
tween gravitation and ethereal vibration, which constitute, in the last analysis, the true correlative principles of which evolution and dissolution are the corresponding processes. These are the agencies which are at all times antagonizing each other in all parts of the universe, and whose exact equality in it seems to form a logical tenet of the modern cosmology. A certain golden mean between these forces, but in which the former must predominate, results in organization; star-systems are formed in space, and life is developed out of the planetary elements. Such appears to be the state of all the matter within the range of human observation. For, whatever may be the condition of other worlds or other regions of space, the phenomena of our world and our portion of space belong to the ascending series; and whatever may be the final doom of our planet and our universe, both are now in a state of progress, and are still rejoicing in the morning of creation.
PESSIMISM AND ITS ANTIDOTE.
By CHARLES NISBET.
THE consideration of general questions not admitting of definite answer, and always throwing us back on the consciousness of the extreme limitation of our knowledge, is not a profitable direction of mind, nor to be recommended as an exclusive study.
Still, occasionally, it may be wholesome, as it has confessedly a strange attraction for us, to journey to the confines of our little island of knowledge, and thence speculate a little on the trackless ocean of mystery to the navigation of which science and logic are alike inadequate. All true religion is founded on this consciousness of the infinite, of an ultimatum transcending our comprehension, but stimulating and exercising our faith.
The moral government of the world, the spiritual tendency, or indeed any dominant direction, of things, is not patent to the fleeting glance, does not reveal itself even to the most strenuous thought. The history of the world presents itself rather as a Jeremiad, as a bottomless chaos in which evil and good wrestle with each other for the mastery, and where evil generally boasts the vast majority of forces.
Savage countries lie thousands of years morally stagnating or decomposing, often physically starving, ground down under cruel despotisms and superstitions, reducing one another in perpetual warfares. The pages of the most favored countries show long chapters of declension, and the moral influxes, like angels' visits, only few and far between. The cause of Brut us opens the way to Cæsarism and death. Spain shares in the tide of new life, but that life is zealously extin-

Breakout Poster Original Daybill 1975 Charles Bronson Jill Ireland
Breakout Daybill Movie Poster Original
Breakout is a 1975 action film from Columbia Pictures starring Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland, Robert Duvall, John Huston, Sheree North and Randy Quaid. Bronson and Ireland, the lead actor and actress, were married in real life. The film is notable for giving the usually serious Bronson a more comedic, lighthearted role. The film was loosely based on an actual event that took place in August, 1971. The prison scenes were filmed at Fort de Bellegarde, France. Romani people (also known as gypsies) local to Southern France stood in for many of the Mexicans. The original director was Michael Ritchie, but he did not like the idea of the female lead being played by Charles Bronson's wife Jill Ireland. Bronson threatened to leave the project if Ireland was not cast so Tom Gries came in as director. The film earned $16.0 million in North American theatrical rentals, and was the 21st most popular film of 1975.It was distributed internationally. Part of its box-office success was due to the then-novel strategy of "saturation booking", in which Columbia released 1,300 prints simultaneously, combined with a heavy advertising campaign on the opening week. This was one of the first major studio films to use this method of release. Inspired by the success of Breakout, Universal Pictures used the same technique to promote Jaws.

How You Heal: Herbs, Remedies, and Elixirs.
Anti-Aging Herb with a 5,000-Year Track Record.
Panax ginseng is perhaps the world�s best-known herb. Popularly employed to increase energy and stamina, it has been used medically in Asia for more than 5,000 years. In China, ginseng is more valuable than gold due to its seemingly miraculous properties of restoring health. The name panax is related to the word panacea, which means �cure-all.� Scientists in the West have confirmed ginseng�s efficacy in various traditional uses. Commonly considered an �adaptogen,� ginseng enhances body functions and the immune system to help people adapt to the negative effects of physical and environmental stress. Ginseng helps improve coordination and reaction time as well as increase endurance and decrease fatigue. It boosts energy gently, rather than stimulating the central nervous system, as coffee does. There is also strong evidence that ginseng can help the body fight off infection, protect liver and heart health, normalize cholesterol and blood sugar levels, regulate the function of hormones, and improve memory and cognitive functions. People taking ginseng often report overall improvement in well-being. Thanks to widespread cultivation and abundant supply, this truly remarkable anti-aging herb is available to and affordable for people all over the world.
Pain, especially chronic pain, is the number one reason that people refrain from exercise. Yet exercise is critical to one�s longevity. Your healing plan should include treatments to resolve the underlying cause of the pain as well as an effective pain remedy.
White willow bark contains salicin, a compound found in aspirin�in fact, aspirin was originally discovered in and extracted from this bark. Besides its pain-relieving property, white willow bark is an anticoagulant, which helps prevent formation of blood clots and thickening of blood that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. A major advantage of using willow bark over its pharmaceutical cousin, aspirin, is that it does not cause gastric upset and erode the stomach lining.
Of the ten top-selling drugs in the United States, three are specifically for indigestion and heartburn. That�s because we live in a culture marked by poor diet and digestion�and the poor health and short life span that go with it. You�ll find many tips in this book for practices that can help, such as controlling your weight, eating smaller meals, chewing thoroughly, reducing stress, and avoiding coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, and deep-fried foods. In addition, taking certain common, easily available herbs on a regular basis can prevent or relieve digestive problems.
Peppermint has many well-documented properties: it increases healthy gastric secretions, relaxes the intestines, soothes spasms, settles the stomach, and alleviates gas.
Ginger, also extensively studied, has been shown to soothe the digestive lining and balance gastric juices.
Chamomile is another excellent herb for settling the stomach. You can combine the three herbs, steep them as tea, and drink it at mealtimes.
Why does hearing wane as we age? Blood supply to the auditory nerve diminishes, and neural conductivity to the brain declines. Eastern medicine has long used acupuncture to increase blood flow to the auditory region and normalize conduction, which can alleviate tinnitus (ringing in the ears) as well as hearing loss. Can�t find an acupuncturist? You can take steps to improve your hearing on your own. Daily cardiovascular exercise will boost hearing function by increasing circulation overall. The supplement niacin, or vitamin B3, helps dilate capillaries, promoting blood flow to the tiny blood vessels in the inner ear that feed the nerve. Another B vitamin, choline, is essential for the body to produce a key neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Good sources of niacin and choline include legumes and beans, especially soy beans, wheat germ, whole grains, avocado, brewer�s yeast, peanuts, leafy greens, and fish.
