On Friday 8th August, our amazing Young Farmer Champion, Jessica Kirkpatrick visited our school and spoke to all of Year 9 during an assembly. Many of the students wrote up what they found interesting and what they learnt during the talk. Below are excerpts from some of those students.
During the talk today, I learnt about grain production in Australia. I learnt that an agronomist is someone who looks after crops and tests their health. Another word for an agronomist is a crop doctor. Jessica said that now is the time to get a job in agriculture because they can earn up to $80,000 a year, which is more than some veterinarians.
I learnt that there are a log of jobs to do with agriculture and some of those are ones you would not expect. Politicians, software developers, vets and teachers are just a few of them. You don't have to grow up on a farm to work in agriculture.
Jessica came to our school to talk about grains and career paths to do with agriculture. She talked about the process of collecting the grains which was something I had never heard of before. I learnt about the different grains such as: wheat, barley, canola and others. This has opened my eyes to career possibilities as we begin to make our choices for subjects to come.
During Jessica's speech I learnt that on her farm they own 12,000 sheep and have 3,000 acres of land. Jessica was never forced into agriculture, she thought that she would become a teacher like her mum, but she really enjoys agriculture now.
Bunkers are long rectangular containers and they can hold 20,000 tons of wheat grains. In summer Jessica works 10-14 hour long days, so that's over 70 hours a week.
I learnt that at certain times of the year crops such as corn, wheat, barley and canola are sewn in the ground with big machines. Pesticides are sprayed; if they spray at the wrong time their crop will be ruined. The crop is harvested with big machines that collect them efficiently. They are then taken to the place where it is tested and distributed.
During this powerful and informative speech I learnt many things regarding agriculture and how it is a growing industry. Agriculture and farming is so much hard work, I don't think I realized how appreciative I should be of the bread I eat thanks to the long hard hours farmers work each and every day. All so we have the best quality of food on our plates.
I found it interesting that they burn their crops for the new harvesting season, and how a lot of planning and big thinking goes into the structure of farming. I learnt a lot in this talk and began to think of what I want to do when I leave Kilbreda. Jess is an inspiration for all young people wanting to follow a dream.
Agriculture encompasses meat, grains, clothing, cereals and so much more. Benefits can include earning $80,000. But it's well earned. Some farmers spend 10-14 hour days. 1700 grains go into one loaf of bread. 12,000 sheep can be found on a sheep farm. Jessica was very informative and good at her job.
During Jessica's talk today it was interesting to learn that farmers often burn their paddocks after their crop is harvested. I also learnt how many tons of grains can be stored in the bunkers and how the silos are sorted into different qualities of grains.
Before Jessica spoke to us, I believed that to work in agriculture meant you owned a farm. Now, I have learnt that you don't have to work on a farm to pursue this career. Agriculture needs teachers, scientists, vets, journalists, artists and lots more. It doesn't matter what job you wish to take there are options in agriculture for you.
Today Jessica came in and talked to us about agriculture. It was very interesting. I did not know much about farming and grains but after the presentation it really opened my eyes to see how lucky we are to have such good farmers to put food on our plates.
I gained a deeper understanding of the strenuous production process of grain, from the day the land is sewn, to when the grain is sent to silos for storage. Grains are harvested using large machines called headers which collect the grain (chopping the head off the crop) and are even able to continue harvesting at night.
Overall I gained a greater appreciation for the agricultural industry and the processes which lead to products provided for the greater population, us.
I learnt so much. I learnt that when producing the grains you need to plan out when and where because otherwise you could kill your crop. I also learnt that agriculture can lead to many jobs, like in teaching, science, farming technology, vet, journalism etc. I thought that Jessica's presentation opened my eyes to new opportunities that I could have in the future.
On the 8th August, Jessica, a 19 year old agricultural student talked to us about her wheat farm and agricultural career. She showed us buckets of wheat and canola. It was great to see someone so passionate. It's really important for us to learn about where our food comes from.
There are many things that go into agricultural farming such as such as harvesting, grain testing and quite a few other jobs. The steps that you do in order for laying the crops down and harvesting are: first, it starts in the office where you check and test the soil for weeks and any other bugs and pesticides. Then you prepare the soil and turn it. Once the grains get sewn, it gets continuously monitored and managed, checking for weeds and bugs. If the grain outgrows the weeds then the grain will kill the weed off by stealing all the sunlight.
The best way to keep a crop healthy is to have a really good management plan to keep the crops healthy.
Jessica lives in Wagga Wagga and she has a passion for agricultural education. She completed her degree in agricultural sciences. Her visit today gave me an insight into the many career pathways that agricultural work provides. It also helped me, personally, to pick subjects that have many open opportunities.
Thank you so much, Heidi. We really enjoyed meeting Jessica, she was amazing.

How Citizens Bank Stays One Step Ahead Of Digital Transformation
Success requires reshaping workforce skills and careers and making important investments in areas such as design thinking and leadership development.
Automation and other innovations have brought about a great deal of anxiety for today's workforce, as many fear new technologies will result in job loss. Encouragingly, Citizens Bank is an example of a company who has invested in these new technologies while still investing in its employees. The result? A stable headcount over the last five years and a flourishing business. I spoke with EVP and CFO John Woods this month to learn more about how Citizens Bank keeps its workforce thriving during the digital age. According to John, having the right training programs in place is key.
Jeff Thomson: The banking industry has seen the decline of the COO in recent years, replaced instead by an enhanced CFO – one whose responsibilities extend far beyond custodianship of the balance sheet. In what ways do you contribute to the overall strategy of Citizens Bank and how are you and your team utilized internally by other departments? What prepared you for these new responsibilities?
John Woods: We are certainly seeing that here at Citizens Bank and across financial services. The traditional, albeit narrower, role of being the primary steward of the financial position and earnings of the company has broadened dramatically over the last decade. For example, the CFO's role as risk manager of liquidity and capital has intensified along with regulatory expectations in these areas. Finance is a key partner in the technology and innovation roadmap, which has never been more critical than it is today. More importantly, and in part related to the expansion in responsibilities mentioned above, the CFO has evolved to become responsible for coordinating and driving strategy across the enterprise. Central to that is the role of the CFO as a change manager across the organization, holistically overseeing the traditional reporting functions, while ensuring that the capital and investment dollars are allocated appropriately over time. That includes leading development of our enterprise-wide strategy, coordinating with key business and strategic stakeholders to ensure business line and technology initiatives are aligned to strategic objectives and monitoring progress against our strategic plan. I like to think of my team as more than financial experts. I also look for them to be catalysts for change across all areas of Citizens Bank and important enablers identifying and driving continuous improvement opportunities for the organization.
In terms of preparation, I like to think of my career as having been one continuous "rotational assignment." I've had the opportunity at organizations such as MUFG, JP Morgan and prior entities to serve in both business line and enterprise roles, toggling between deep dives into lines of business and more of an organization-wide perspective. That experience has been invaluable in terms of helping drive a longer-term view, while having the right level of subject matter expertise to execute well today.
Thomson: You have a close strategic partnership with Citizens Bank's CEO, advising on human capital management. As digital transforms banking and jobs like tellers become more automated, how is your company redeploying human capital and training employees for new roles? How do you balance staying competitive while also investing in things like worker training and development?
Woods: Excellent execution starts and ends with great talent. It's a strategic imperative for us to ensure we can continue to succeed amidst rapidly evolving customer expectations, the accelerating role of technology re-shaping how we work and the need for rapid innovation to remain competitive. There will be significant changes to the size and composition of our workforce. Areas like personalization, data and analytics and front-line expertise will grow, while areas like sales and service, operations and functional areas will shrink. Success requires reshaping workforce skills and careers and making important investments in areas such as design thinking and leadership development. The bank has developed a multi-year plan to reshape and retool our workforce. While we've certainly been upgrading talent to stay ahead of a transforming market, I like to note that our headcount has stayed relatively stable at about 18,000 over the last five years, so we're both hiring new colleagues and redirecting many members of the current workforce into roles that help set us up for the future. The right kind of training has been key to that effort. For example, we've trained nearly 1,000 colleagues on Agile methodologies since 2016. Additionally, more than 1,300 colleagues trained on leadership and manager effectiveness and 2,500 colleagues participated in our "Development Weeks" in 2018.
[caption photocredit="Getty"]
Thomson: Citizens Bank recently opened an office in Los Angeles, in keeping with your CEO's (Bruce Van Saun) national expansion plans. He has shared that he is not interested in expansion via the traditional route of buying more banks. As CFO, how do you facilitate innovation and market growth via non-traditional strategies? Does data play a role in developing expansion plans? How do you leverage data analytics to support strategic decision-making?
Woods: Certainly everyone is looking for growth and it's a strong positive that there are very attractive options available in the market beyond traditional banking combinations. On the commercial side, we saw a strong opportunity to put coverage bankers into some key geographies. You mentioned Los Angeles, and the Atlanta office we recently opened is another example of that. We've been able to attract great talent that has great relationships in those markets and we're seeing good results. On the consumer side, we rolled out an all-digital direct bank earlier this year, Citizens Access, that is focused on gaining deposits outside of our traditional 11-state retail footprint. The Citizens Access platform is exceeding expectations and we see it as a potential springboard for all kinds of digital innovations.
Data is a critical part of many of our decision-making processes, whether it's entering new markets, new customer segments or new channels. We have been investing heavily in our data capabilities to drive robust analytics, insights and security. That certainly was the case with the growth strategies I've mentioned. For our Southeast expansion, we analyzed demographic trends, the percentage of Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies in the market relative to other geographies and looked at data around sub-sector growth to determine how that compared to our existing industry expertise. With Citizens Access, we evaluated the relative growth of direct channels via direct banks vs. other deposit fundraising channels and looked at cost of funds data and price elasticity to understand financial trade-offs vs. other funding options.
Thomson: As a part of its expanded offerings, Citizens Bank plans to roll out real-time payments for its commercial business banking in 2019. How critical are these types of innovations to overall business success, especially as competitors begin dabbling with the same technologies? How do you stay on top of the latest technology trends?
Woods: Payments is an important part of our customers' needs and we believe it will be a major source of innovation in the years to come, driven by the adoption of real-time payment network in the U.S. Adoption of real-time payments has begun through a private sector bank-centric solution offered by The Clearing House of which Citizens is a member bank. Innovations in this space are particularly critical, as many non-bank, financial technology companies have developed fast and frictionless experiences that allow customers to be able to transfer money instantaneously. We fully expect that our customers -- consumers and businesses alike – will increasingly expect to complete transactions with a simple keystroke, swipe or tap. To meet their expectations, we will need to innovate to meet market demand around new payments services.
We do many things to stay on top of the latest technology trends. That includes conducting what I think of as "listening tours" in Silicon Valley and markets such as New York City and Charlotte, meeting with fin techs and others at the forefront of innovative thinking. It also includes partnerships with organizations such as MassChallenge FinTech and Plug-and-Play, which offer accelerators for high potential startups and give us insight into new technologies that are coming to the market. Another source of scouting new technologies includes hosting hackathons. Whatever we do, however, we try to do through a customer-centric lens so that we are solving the right problems and challenges, instead of chasing the next "shiny object."
Thomson: Technology seems to be a key area of focus, as you've recently hired 30 digital analysts and programmers to work on building a new mobile and online platform. How does the finance team support, advise on and fund these efforts? Are you finding finance people enter your organization with the skill sets they need to contribute to digital transformation as well as competencies like financial planning and analysis?
Woods: Our Finance and Technology organizations are close partners in overseeing all capital investments, with allocation integrally tied to the corporate and business line strategies. That kind of partnership is relatively new and only getting stronger. By having Finance work hand-in-hand with our technology stakeholders, we ensure that we have robust mechanisms in place to measure and monitor customer outcomes and financial results that occur through our various digital channels. As an organization, we have begun to adopt agile methodologies and principles, beginning with our digital teams and finance as a key partner in the agile pods.
Digital literacy and familiarity with agile tools and methodologies are becoming parts an important toolkit for many of our colleagues. Blending these capabilities with strong financial acumen and skills in financial analysis will become even more critical as agile becomes more of a delivery norm over time. As we look to recruit new finance professionals, we are trying hard to bring in colleagues who bring varied experiences and perspectives, including colleagues that have worked in fin techs, other startups or companies that have a strong digital business model at their core.

We're at that time of year when the tech conference season, after a bit of a summer break, swings back into full gear, some we've already had, such as MSIgnite and some we have to come, over the next couple of months there's a range of shows big and small dotted across the globe on a range of topics.
As part of my day job, I find tech conferences a hugely valuable resource, the technology partners we choose to work with and the strategic value I look to share with businesses, much of it comes from what I get to learn attending some of these big shows, whether in person or via live streaming of key sessions. These conferences are still the best showcase many vendors have for presenting their strategic direction and the latest technical innovations. In my opinion if you are in a role where you are delivering technology or building technology strategy, paying attention to the shows of your key vendors and partners should be part of your role and I believe is a key part in ensuring you get the very best from your technology investment.
One of the biggest and still one of the most influential tech shows of the year is VMworld, VMware's showcase event, a long time cornerstone of the technology community for IT pro's and vendors alike. Mainly because VMware find themselves in an almost unique position (probably alongside Microsoft) of having their technology present in the vast majority of technology deployments. Because of this VMworld attracts IT Pro's and vendors from many disciplines' server and storage vendors, through to automation and analytics companies all working closely with VMware's platforms to deliver services across enterprise and organisations of all types.
With that said, what can you expect to learn from a show like VMware? What's the benefit for you? Well as we sit handily between VMworld US and Europe, I thought it would be a useful to explore VMworld a little more and get not only a round up of the big announcements from the US show and what to look out for in Barcelona, but also take a look at what is VMworld and if you've never attended (and full disclosure I've only ever attended remotely) why you may want to add it to your calendar next year.
Joining me to discuss this, is the co-host of the fantastic Virtually Speaking podcast Pete Flecha, a veteran of a number of VMworld's as customer, partner and now as employee, he's in a great position to provide some background to the show, how it's changed and some of the key announcements from Vegas and what to look out for in Barcelona.
We start with exploring what VMworld is, discuss both its size and community angle and also why the show is about so much more than virtualisation. We also look at the part shows like VMworld and as we recorded MSIgnite, play in shaping the industry and why the messages of these influential technology companies are important to understand as they continue to play such a large part in the direction of the technology industry.
We get Pete's list of favourite announcements from VMworld, including some big announcements around his own technology areas VVOLS and vSAN, as well as the very interesting "Project Dimension". We wrap up by looking ahead to Barcelona and next year to VMworld in San Francisco and chat about why you may want to go and check out the event for yourself.
Next week we ask Cloud First! Or Cloud First? Until then, thanks for listening.

2015 NCAA Lacrosse Conference Tournaments
2015 Ivy League Lacrosse Tournament: Yale Wins 11-10 Thriller Over Princeton
The Bulldogs are headed to the NCAA Tournament.

(4) Yale v. (3) Princeton
Yale earned its third Ivy League Tournament title in an 11-10 mind-bender against Princeton. The Elis' victory assures the Bulldogs of a trip to the NCAA Tournament, the program's sixth appearance in The Show and third in the last four seasons. The Tigers fall to 9-6 and are in the unenviable position of pursuing an at-large selection to the NCAA Tournament field, its position on the bubble crowded with a handful of candidates.
The scope of the game changed late in the fourth quarter. Deadlocked at nine, Colin Flaherty took a feed from Conrad Oberbeck and pushed the ball past Tyler Blaisdell, giving Yale a tenuous 10-9 advantage with 6:08 remaining in regulation. The Elis won the ensuing possession and, as Yale matriculated the ball around after a blocked shot from Oberbeck, Zach Currier committed a dangerously high cross-check that provided the Bulldogs with an extra-man opportunity with under 5:00 left on the clock. The Elis quickly converted the personnel imbalance posture into a tally, witnessing Brian Reeves fire a rocket into the twine off of a sharp look from Michael Keasey. The goal would provide the Bulldogs all the scoring the team would need to sink Princeton, but the Tigers were not finished fighting for an extension to their 2015 campaign.
A blown offensive opportunity through a Kip Orban turnover stymied a moment to quickly respond to Yale's cushion, but the Tigers were able to withstand a man-down situation on the consequent defensive possession to clear into the Elis' zone with 1:16 remaining in the final quarter. Mike MacDonald pounded a shot off the pipe with 47 ticks left in the game, but the Tigers were able to recover the ricochet to call a timeout to orchestrate a final charge. Princeton was able to get Ryan Ambler sweeping from left to right in a preferable shooting scenario, but Ambler's attempt sailed high over Eric Natale's head with 38 seconds glowing on the scoreboard. Out of the backup, MacDonald mirrored Ambler's errant approach, pulling from his right to his left with the entire Yale defense draped all over him as the Canadian pounded home a goal that went blew just over the top of Natale's dome to find the back of the net.
Down 11-10 with 27 seconds remaining to win a faceoff and tie the game, Princeton had few options in their toolkit to address its situation. Currier won the proceeding draw to allow the Tigers to take a timeout and find a little heat, but a Currier shot on a hero dodge bounced wide and the team's consequent attempt to jam the ball to the crease with only two seconds to operate didn't find a partner, the bean rolling toward midfield as Yale stormed Stevenson Field to celebrate their heart-stopping triumph.
The excitement of the second half was in contrast to an otherwise uneventful first half. The Ivy peers combined for 29 estimated possessions in the first 20 minutes of the game with Yale converting on around 24 percent of their 17 estimated offensive opportunities and Princeton getting tallies on only about 17 percent of their estimated 12 offensive chances. Turnovers and penalties dominated the first half. The Bulldogs committed giveaways on around 53 percent of their estimated offensive opportunities and the Tigers were worse in the same metric at 58.33 percent; there were more combined turnovers over the course of the first two periods (16) than aggregated shots on goal (14). With respect to infractions, there were almost as many penalties (five) as goals (six) in the first half. Things rapidly changed in the second half with Princeton scoring on north of 55 percent of the team's estimated nine offensive opportunities in the third quarter and Yale clicked on over 37 percent of the eight estimated offensive chances in the same period, each team dropping their turnover rates in important ways in the penultimate quarter as the teams combined for eight goals and entered the final stanza in a 7-7 tie.
Oberbeck finished his day in Providence with two goals and three assists for the Elis, each of his goals drawing the Bulldogs square with the Tigers in the third period. Natale made 10 stops against Princeton's powerful offense and held a 50.00 save percentage. Orban had a four-and-one outing for Princeton, steadying the Tigers with three goals out of the intermission.

An Embarrassing Problem...
A man walked into a bar and ordered a glass of white wine. He took a sip of it, then tossed the remainder in the bartender's face. Before the bartender could recover from the surprise, the man began weeping. "I'm really sorry. I keep doing this to bartenders. I can't tell you how embarrassing it is to have a compulsion like this." Far from being angry, the bartender was sympathetic. Before long, he was suggesting that the man see a psychoanalyst about his problem. "I happen to have the name of a psychoanalyst," the bartender said. "My brother and my wife have both been treated by him, and they say he's as good as they come." The man wrote down the name of the doctor, thanked the bartender and left. The bartender smiled, knowing he'd done a good deed for a fellow human being. Six months later, the man was back. "Did you do what I suggested?" the bartender asked, serving the glass of white wine. "I certainly did," the man said. "I've been seeing the psychoanalyst twice a week." He took a sip of the wine. Then he threw the remainder into the bartender's face. The flustered bartender wiped his face with a towel. "The doctor doesn't seem to be doing you any good," he spluttered. "On the contrary," the man said," he's done me a world of good." "But you just threw the wine in my face again!" the bartender exclaimed. "Yes," the man said. "But it doesn't embarrass me anymore!"

Home Mysteries Eye of the Sahara The Richat Structure
Eye of the Sahara The Richat Structure
The Richat Structure
The eye of the Sahara would be the most mysterious thing on earth. Located in an isolated area of the Sahara desert in Mauritania, the Eye of the Sahara The Richat Structure is not what can be called a structure it is instead a vast circular formation.
Initially, it assumed to be a hole in the surface, but the recent photographs taken by the astronauts sent from space suggested that it is not a crater but a result of erosion that happened in geological time. If you're walking by it, you won't notice much of it.
The Eye of Sahara also known as the 'Richat Structure 'which is a bit oval and deeply eroded in the Sahara desert.
The size of this place (Sahara, Mauritania) is 50km wide, and the erosion has created several coil formations illustrated by the three rings dunking outward from the Richat Structure. The eye of the Sahara was so big but not discovered until the astronauts saw it from space.
Image Credit: Richat Structure
People also called the eye of the Sahara by the name 'blue eye' of Africa because, in some of the images taken by NASA, the structure looked blue.
No one till date has been able to find out the reason behind the formation of such concentric rings in the middle of the desert.
Since the formation is of circular and not too oval some theorized that it formed due to an asteroid strike, but this theory has been ridiculed and suggested that the actual reason behind the formation of the Richat Structure is a volcanic eruption.
And due to the lack of evidence of any igneous rock in that place, this theory too didn't seem to work.
Another perspective is that the concentric rings of the Eye of Sahara are of equal distance from the core that might be symmetrical because it was human-made.
Many people still think that the eye of the Sahara is the doomed city of Atlantis. Though, Plato's description of Atlantis does give an exact impression of the formation of the Richat Structure.
Plato described Atlantis as a round, divided into circles of land and water. When Atlantis hit by an earthquake, it became an impossible task for the voyagers to sail because the mud was preventing any movement to happen which made it harder for any sailor to cross the city from any part of the ocean.
Atlantis in Greek stands for- the island of Atlas. Plato also said that Atlantis laid in 'front of the pillars of Hercules.'
However, it is unlikely to think of it as the city of Atlantis, but if we look into it like Plato's description, it still is an exciting way to look into this theory.
There's so much to learn, but due to the inaccessibility to this place and lack of researchers, this place hasn't been much attention.
Hopefully, in the future, we'd get access to this place and find the answer regarding the actual reason for the formation of the eye of the Sahara or the Richat Structure.
The Future of the Eye
The eye of the Sahara lures both geologists and tourists. Several geologists fly to the Richat structure in order to research on the distinct geological aspect personally.
However, due to the lack of water in its surroundings and the location being in a sparsely populated area, the eye of the Sahara is in danger from humans.
That leaves the structure open to much threat of nature. The current erosion of the land is developing a massive threat to the landscape. Chances are there would be desert winds in the region, due to climate change triggers desertification in the area.
It is likely that in the near future, the eye of the Sahara would be swamped with dust & sand. Travellers in future might discover this stunning geological aspect buried in the desert.
Traces of Pangaea
The primitive rocks in the eye of the Sahara have proffered investigators with data about its foundation. The earliest creation of the Richat structure started when the supercontinent Pangaea began to rupture.
Right after when Pangaea burst, the water from the Atlantic Ocean began flowing into the region.
Even though Pangaea was gradually was in the process of bursting, magma from the surface of its depth started emerging from the earth's mantle, which developed a round-shaped rocky roof encompassed by deposits of sandstone.
As erosion began dispersing on the igneous rocks and sandstones, and when the dome diminished, round edges were left behind, passing the eye of the structure its hollow circular shape. At present, the eye is slightly sunken under the level of the close site.
According to the scientist, the eye could have developed roughly 100 years ago. It is presumed that the Richat Structure's main ring structure could be the corroded remnants.
Whilst scientists haven't settled down to this theory as they still have many questions to uncover concerning the structure. Two Canadian scientists have come up with a hypothesis on how the scientists might have established.
They asserted that the formation might have begun over 100 million years ago when the supercontinent, Pangaea, burst by the plate tectonics with South America and Africa being ripped apart from each other.
They said that the melted rock that drove upwards toward the earth's exterior probably didn't make it and this could have developed rock coatings in a roof that depicted like a massively grown pimple on the shell.
This may have incited to create an error line that surrounded and cross the structure, and this may have broken down then and caused the formation of a rock known as Breccia.
Soon after 100 million years, the eye of Sahara would have vented in an aggressive manner, and the bubble might have collapsed partially, whilst corrosion would have done the remaining work and therefore concocted the eye of the Sahara.
The loop of the eye would have been developed from rocks of various kinds that wear away quickly that varied on time.
Sahara has nothing more to share than its sea of sands when the astronauts found the eye they have been very much interested in it ever since.
The eye is only one amongst a few stops in the sand, and it put an end to the monotonic nature. This is the reason why the astronauts are so fond of this phenomenon and have now become one of the chief attraction.

Places to visit in Ethiopia
Maps of Ethiopia
Plan an amazing trip to Ethiopia
On the horn of Africa, to the east of the continent, Ethiopia is a fascinating and little known country which will astonish you with the beauty of its landscape and impress you with the richness of its remarkably well preserved cultural and architectural heritage. Bisected by the great Rift Valley, "cradle of civilisation" where the remains of 'Lucy' were found, Ethiopia is composed of verdant plains, steep summits, stretches of deserts, great lakes, impressive waterfalls and deep canyons. Most of the country is covered by the high plateau at over 2,000 metres altitude, of which Ras Dachan is the highest point. The numerous national parks allow you to observe the particularly rich flora and fauna of the African plains and many species of birds. The Simien National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site, is breathtakingly beautiful. Its stunning landscape of cliffs, precipices and rugged peaks shelters endemic, rare and protected species such as the Gelada baboon and Ethiopian wolves. Rich in ancient history, Ethiopia delights visitors with its monuments, ruins and UNESCO world heritage sites. Don't miss Aksoum, with its great stela, centre of the ancient Aksoumite kingdom or Gondar, the former capital of Ethiopia, with its medieval castles and old churches. Labilela's extraordinary medieval churches carved into the red rocks of the high plateau, with ornately painted walls are an important place of pilgrimage for Orthodox Christians. The churches and monasteries built on the islands of Lake Tana also testify to the country's Christian past. A visit to Addis Ababa with its cathedral and many museums will complete a trip to Ethiopia, a country that you will love to discover and which is increasingly open to tourism.

Sonia answers your most frequently asked questions
Is the country suitable for travelling with children?
As with adults, children will be delighted to discover Ethiopia. There are numerous species of animals, breathtakingly beautiful national parks and characterful historic towns... children won't have the time to get bored.
Which are the country's essential events and celebrations?
Ethiopians are very devout and don't miss any opportunity to celebrate. In January, Timkat, the equivalent of the Epiphany and the most important religious celebration is observed. Although Timkat is celebrated throughout the country, it is in Gobar and Lalibela that the celebrations are most spectacular. For three days, thousands of faithful parade through the streets singing and dancing. It's magical! Another important event is celebrated at the end of September - Meskel, celebration of the True Cross. During the celebrations, the faithful commemorate the discovery in 326 AD of the cross on which Christ was crucified. On this occasion, huge cross shaped pyres are adorned with yellow flowers and set alight in Ethiopian villages. The largest is set alight in the centre of the capital, Addis Ababa. This great celebration is an opportunity for family and friends to gather together.
Which are the main places of interest?
Ethiopia is full of treasures:
In the capital, Addis Ababa, there is the beautiful archaeological museum where you can see the remains of "Lucy', discovered in 1974. There is the orthodox cathedral of the Holy Trinity, the open air market, Mount Entoto and the Kiddus Raguel church from which there is magnificent panorama of the town.
The 15th century imperial city of Gondar and the Fasilidas Palace should not be missed either. At 2,600 metres altitude, the medieval city of Lalibela is classified as a UNESCO world heritage site. This holy city for Orthodox Christians is an archiectural treasure of eleven monolithic churches carved into the rocks and connected by tunnels dug into the cliffs.
Other must-sees include: Bete Gyorgis, a monolithic church sculpted into the shape of a Greek cross; In Godjam Province, the immense Lake Tana which can be crossed in papyrus canoes known as 'tankwas.' The lake has thirty islands planted with lemon trees and coffee plantations, overlooked by monasteries with painted murals (Uma Kidane Mehret and Betre Maryam), impressive waterfalls (45 metres high), the 400 metre wide Blue Nile and the massif Simien volcanic mountains furrowed by deep gorges. To the north, discover Axoum, the ancient capital of the Queen of Sheba's empire, with its temples, palaces, garden of stelas, tombs and obelisks. Ethiopia has 67 volcanoes spread over the Rift Valley fault. Hikes are organised close to Dallol's active sulphurous green crater (163 metres) and Erta Ale's (613 metres) red lava lake, in the Danakil desert with its geysers and hot springs. You can also take the dazzlingly beautiful hike to see the salt mine caravans.
To the east, in the middle of coffee plantations, is the fortified medieval town of Harar, with its narrow streets, the palace, its markets and the house of Arthur Rimbaud. Close to the Kenyan border in the south, in the Omo Valley, you can meet semi-nomadic, animist ethnic communities, in their beehive like huts set in a landscape of lakes and forests.
In Mago National Park, you will find the Mursis, whose women wear impressive lip plates, the Hamer people who scarify their bodies, the Karo who adorn their bodies with white paint and wear headdresses made of plant fibres, and the Daasanach people.
Photo safaris can be taken in the Aouche and Nechisar national parks where you will see crocodiles, wolves, antelopes, monkeys, birds and nyalas, and in Abiata Shallas Park, hot springs and pink flamingoes.
What is there to do in Ethiopia?
Walking and hiking through the breathtaking landscape will leave you with indelible memories. Then there's encountering the locals and visiting extravagant monuments on foot, 4x4, on horseback or by boat.
What do we like most?
- The abundant national parks are magnificent!
- The rich cultural heritage.
- The diversity of flora and fauna.
- Stunning landscapes
- Discovering a unique, rich and extremely interesting culture.
What are the traditional local dishes of the country?
It's impossible to go to Ethiopia without trying the local food - it really is an essential part of any visit. The most representative dish is 'injera', a pancake made of teff flour, an indigenous grass which grows only in this part of Africa. Injera is served with a variety of sauces which will suit vegetarians or meat eaters. Be sure to take part in a coffee ceremony, a very important moment in local life. As well as being considered one of the best coffees in the world, coffee allows Ethiopians gather among friends and family during the day. Coffee tasting is accompanied by a range of traditional rituals and customs.
Shopping and crafts. What can I bring back?
If there's a country full of beautiful souvenirs, it's Ethiopia. You will find cooking utensils, wooden sculptures and beautiful jewellery for all tastes. As for clothes, there is the traditional dress (for women and men) or just a simple traditional scarf. And leave a little room in your bags for some traditional Ethiopian coffee, with its global reputation for excellence.
How safe is it there?
Ethiopia is generally considered to be safe. Nevertheless, as is always the case for tourists, you should be careful not to attract the attention of thieves. Give an appearance of confidence in yourself and don't carry large sums of money with you (its best to keep most of your money in your hotel room) etc. Due to political conflict, some areas of the country should be avoided. Specifically, areas along the border should be avoided, such as the Eritrean border in the Danakil Depression and the area close to Somalia.
What do we like least?
- Extremely poorly maintained roads which create traffic problems in the country.
- Areas of the country which are not possible to visit for political and social reasons.

Player Vignette: Matt Bavuso
2 months ago marlin-chronicle Comments Off on Player Vignette: Matt Bavuso
Senior Matthew Bavuso is a freestyle-distance swimmer in the men's swimming team here at VWU. He has been recognized with many awards academically and athletically. His beginnings with the Marlins swim team started in his freshman year. In that same year, he was awarded with the Most Improved Player. Although Bavuso had played many other sports throughout his life, he said that the physical demands of swimming was much greater for him than the other sports that he participated in.
Bavuso has been experiencing competition at a college level since his freshman year, but he said that his actual mentality of competition is not the same as years ago.
"Over the years, the way that I kind of view the competition has changed. First it was like, I am going to cheer for my team and I only want my team to win. Then I saw other swimmers trying their best to make it and I started cheering for them," Bavuso said.
He also added that this decision that he made was because the progression of swimmers is more related to beat time, "swimming is about you challenging yourself and being better each time," Bavuso said. He expressed that his competitive spirit is more a desire for everybody to reach their potential.
One of the other reasons for him to make this decision was the lack of motivation among athletes from other teams. "Swimming is most of the time an individual competition, even though we are a team. In some competitions I saw how some students compete in their categories and after that, they sat on the bench and started going through their phones without even paying attention to their teammates," Bavuso said.
The mentality of "cheering for the other team" was not something that his teammates and coach saw with a good attitude when Bavuso started doing it. "At first I was like What are you doing Matt? Why? That's the other team", Coach Mike Ginder said. He also added, "He cheers for the other teams on a regular basis, and even when we don't have any swimmers or people that can cheer for other teams, is his voice that you hear." However, he now understands him and accepts that that is just the way that he is.
"He brings an incredible energy on the pool deck and he is fully involved on the team," Ginder said. Ginder has been working with Bavuso since his freshman year and he expressed that Bavuso has changed in all aspects. "He has become more mature, he has grown up, he has figured out a lot and to see that transition and change it has been really exciting," Ginder said.
Ginder knows that Bavuso is great for his team but he also knows that Bavuso wants for everyone, not only his teammates, to become better swimmers and achieve their goals.
There are so many memories of competition scenarios that Bavuso can think of and each of those have been really helpful for him. But one of the most glorious moments for him was an ODAC event in his first year when he was going to participate in a mile event.
"We have a relay where we all went out to swim as hard as we could and even though it was the first year of our program, we still managed to place and that was really awesome," Bavuso said. He also added, "At that time I experienced a little bit of skepticism, because you don't know if something great is going to happen."
However, he stated that the fact that he and his team stood on the podium was something that he will never forget and he feels proud to have been part of that moment.
Bavuso also explained that there are some important factors that have helped him to deal with that "breaking the ice" moment in competition; "I used to have a kind of ritual to control my anxiety before competition, I would jam to some Linkin Park or something really intense to try to change the energy of worrying," Bavuso said.
He also said that before competition he used to get all the calories that he was going to burn out at the event. Bavuso recommends to athletes before any competition not to drink coffee, orange juice or something really strong. Bavuso expressed that all these 'tips' will help you to achieve the goal of your event and you have to know how to deal with all those little things that come right before the event or as he would call it, "the initial mental stage."

Q: how to run ue4 Shooter Game example? I am using UE4 version 4.12.
I downloaded and created the example game "Shooter Game".
I tried selecting the maps Highrise, ShooterEntry and choosing ShooterGameMode, ShooterGame_TeamDeathMatch and so on. What I got was walking in the level, but not starting game.
I checked the page and found no instructions.

A: 1) You can compile & run it.
2) You can put some bots to example map (you can find it in "...\ShooterGame\Content\Blueprints\Pawns", where "...\ShooterGame" is folder way to your project). And than run this level to see the gameplay.

Sorcery! 3 Takes The Familiar Game-Book Formula And Sprinkles It With Time Travel For An Epic Threequel
Michael Crider
2015/04/23 7:58am PDT Apr 23, 2015
We've covered both of the previous entries in the Sorcery series, from 80 Days developer Inkle Ltd., when they landed on Android. At the core they're game-books, a genre that mixes old-school dice-based tabletop RPGs and structured "Choose Your Own Adventure" narratives, like those so prominently featured in the library of Tin Man Games. But the Sorcery series takes this idea further with a dynamic story engine, interesting animations, skeuomorphic interface design, and hand-drawn everything.

LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IS SUBJECT OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE
By Joan Magruder
Scholars from universities all over the world will convene at UC Santa Barbara this summer for a six-week long institute to study linguistic diversity -- how and why languages differ -- with a special emphasis on the similarities and differences among Pacific Rim languages.
Between June 25 and August 3, nearly 600 linguists will participate in various seminar and course offerings, including language use, language and culture, language origin, language evolution and change, and typology.
And, in keeping with the focus on linguistic diversity, some courses will delve into the special complexities of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Ainu, Oceanic Languages, Tibeto-Burman languages, Torres Strait languages, and North American languages.
Along with the scholarly course work, five lectures will be offered free to the public on consecutive Wednesday evenings in UCSBÕs Campbell Hall, beginning at 7 p.m.
The talks scheduled are:
·"Cognitive Linguistics" by Ronald Langacker, professor of linguistics at UC San Diego -- June 27;
·"Conversation Analysis" by Emanuel Schegloff, professor of sociology at UCLA and co-director of the Center for Language, Interaction and Culture --July 11;
·"How Do Scalar Meanings Arise?" by Elizabeth Traugott, professor of linguistics and English at Stanford University -- July 18;
·"Brain and Language in Children and Adults" by Elizabeth Bates, professor of psychology and professor of cognitive science at UC San Diego, where she also directs the Center for Research in Language and the Project in Cognitive and Neural Development -- July 25;
·"Thoughts and Sounds" by Wallace Chafe, professor emeritus of linguistics at UC Santa Barbara, who has studied several American Indian languages, and differences between speaking and writing, among other research interests -- August 1.
The 2001 Linguistic Institute, directed by Charles Li, a linguist and dean of the Graduate Division at UCSB, is being conducted under the auspices of the Linguistic Society of America, Australian Linguistic Society, Linguistic Society of Japan, Linguistic Society of New Zealand, Linguistic Society of Korea, and the Academia Sinica of Taiwan.
