Hippocampus is not just a GPS
It's a controversy that goes back to a Nobel Prize winning idea that there is a specific part of our brain that acts as our Global Positioning System (GPS), responsible for knowing at any given time where we are in the world and how to navigate it. Recently, scientists in the neuroscience community have disagreed about whether this brain area, called the hippocampus, is actually an internal GPS, or if it is actually a memory forming device that can also perform as a GPS if needed.

Western Insight Meditation and yoga teacher Dawn Mauricio brings her light, introspective approach to sincere meditation. We chat about personal practice and teaching, cultural appropriation in spiritual communities and spiritual bypassing.
We talk about the limitations of social media for authentic shares, and how/when to share your personal processes with your community. Dawn talks about her history with meditation and why she prefers to refer to Insight Meditation as "Western Insight", which leads to a chat about cultural appropriation in the Buddhist and yoga spiritual communities. We finally touch on spiritual bypassing - the avoidance of personal pain and interpersonal exploration for spiritual "heights" - and how doing interpersonal work is a required component of spiritual practice.
From Montreal, Dawn teaches and practices internationally, and you can join her in person or in her free 21 Day Meditation course, offered in partnership with Lole. See the show notes for details!

Big Tech as Big Brother
By John C. Seiler, Jr.
Conservatives more than anyone else view with a gimlet eye the rise of the Internet and the gigantic tech companies that are taking over ever larger parts of our lives. Even the place where most of these companies dwell, Silicon Valley, is a bastardization of its real name, Santa Clara, or St. Claire of Assisi, who worked real wonders with Saint Francis. And probably few people in Apple Inc. know that their city, Cupertino, is named for St. Joseph Cupertino, a Franciscan with an IQ so low he wouldn't get a job as a janitor at Apple's "campus," as it's called. And he levitated without the help of Siri.
We need help wherever we can find it, so I welcome World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech, by Franklin Foer, a former editor of The New Republic. His analysis is a bit off, and his prescriptions involve more government, when what's needed is less. As an old print journalist myself, with 29 years at the Orange County Register, I sympathize with the bytes and arrows slung at him. Like him, I left my publication and was then called back as an editor, only to be pushed out of a job for the first time in my life after the Register went bankrupt a second time. Jobs were slashed by the aptly named Digital First Media, itself owned by a hedge fund.
In Foer's case,...

2013 Ford Fiesta Owners Manual – The 2013 Ford Fiesta offers economy car shoppers explanation to celebrate using its entertaining-to-travel character, properly trimmed cabin, small build quality, and unexpected features.
A 6-foot-3 person climbs out of a vibrant yellow-colored 2013 Ford Fiesta. This isn't the beginning of a joke, but alternatively a sight we observed at Hertz Hire-a-Car. You see, the subcompact Fiesta is a genuine car, with real top seats that modify sufficiently for our lofty close friend and a telescoping controls that get to sign in the market to greet him. Just because the Fiesta is tiny doesn't mean its motorist must be likewise modest.
At the exact same time, the Fiesta continue to prove perfectly pleasant for the large guy's very much quicker wife, who appreciates that this little car seems much more enhanced than its dimensions and price would advise. The journey is created, the cabin is surprisingly peaceful and there is a general perception of solidity missing from subcompacts of both the prior and offer. The Fiesta's appeal is furthermore boosted by an amazing sum of accessible equipment, including Sync, as Ford's Sync process, keyless ignition/admittance, warmed seats as well as two-tone natural leather upholstery more boost the Fiesta's charm.
Our happy couple appreciates the Fiesta's energy-effective engine, which proves they didn't need to acquire that hybrid to save fuel. Even though it does not have electric engines, battery pack packs and a modern badge, the Fiesta nonetheless controls a quite thrifty 33 mpg input together driving. That's between the best in the subcompact school.
Of course, that course does consist of other attractive sedans and hatchbacks our couple could've regarded. The Kia Rio offers a cabin which actually betters the Fiesta in conditions of high quality, functionality, and worth. The Rio isn't as spirited to operate, even so, and if that's significant, the turbocharged Chevy Sonic is a perfect selection. On the other hand, not any of the previously mentioned can compare to the flexible Honda Suit in relation to losing the backseats for transporting information.
With your rewarding opponents, the 2013 Ford Fiesta is not necessarily a slam-dunk selection. But no matter if you're taller, short or someplace somewhere between, it is going to show that subcompact is not symbolic of subpar.
The 2013 Ford Fiesta is a subcompact car for sale in a number of-doorway sedan and hatchback body styles. The two are for sale in S, SE and Titanium trim levels.
The base S will come standard with 15-" metallic rims, energy locks and decorative mirrors, atmosphere-conditioning, a lean-and-telescoping controls and a four-loudspeaker sound system with the auxiliary music jack. The Comfort package adds keyless access and a CD participant.
The Fiesta SE consists of the Efficiency package products, in addition energy windows, heated up mirrors, a rear wiper (hatchback), luxury cruise control, up-graded fabric covers, a trip laptop or computer, a six-lecturer sound system and the Sync Factors package, which includes an ipod device/USB audio program, Wireless Bluetooth telephone connection, tone of voice handles, some app-based solutions and certain safety communication capabilities. The Moon And Frame of mind package contribute a sunroof (also available independently), background lights, a natural leather change knob, and satellite radio.
The SE Look package brings 15-inch alloy rims, Brought jogging lights, a rear spoiler (sedan), a natural leather-packaged wheel, ambient lighting, and satellite radio. The SE is qualified for the SFE package, which contains particular car tires, rims, and sleek sections to achieve slightly far better gasoline economy. Heated front seats are a stay-on your own alternative.
The Fiesta Titanium is basically an SE with the SE Visual appeal package but receives 16-in. alloy rims, stainless exterior cut, keyless ignition/entrance, leather material furniture, warmed entrance seats as well as an auto-dimming rearview mirror. A sunroof is a stand-by itself alternative. The Black colored Sports Appearance package brings a dosage of dark trim to the exterior, although there are two Interior Fashion bundles — Competition Reddish colored and Arctic Bright white — offering special interior coloration combinations and toned.
For 2013, the Ford Fiesta receives a rearranged cut and options composition, delivering it into range with the buying tendencies of prior clients. As a good example, the sedan and hatchback now get the identical trim levels and equipment.
Each 2013 Ford Fiesta is driven by a 1.6-liter 4-tube that produces 120 horsepower and 112 lb-feet of torque. A five-rate handbook transmission is regular, but a half a dozen-pace programmed guide known as "PowerShift" is optional. This type of "automated" transmission continue to shifts for you, nevertheless, it does a much better career of maximizing engine potential and efficiency than a conventional intelligent.

Or Daniel mauls the Lion again. Continuing his super form from 2011 Jenson Button again outraced Lewis (The Hoon) Hamilton to take victory in the Australian Grand Prix. Last year Jenson became the first driver in the same team to outscore Lewis over a championship and at Albert Park yesterday he continued that supremacy in convincing fashion. Since winning the championship with Brawn in 2009 and then "entering the Lion's den" by joining the Hamilton dominated McLaren squad Button has proved just what an outstanding Grand Prix driver he really is. The Hoon still has the advantage over a single lap and displayed that on Saturday when he was the only driver in the 1m 24's and beating Jenson to pole, but come race day over the last year Button has had the upper hand. The comparisons with Alain Prost do not end with his super smooth style. Neither may have dominated qualifying when up against a super fast team-mate, but both are bloody hard to beat come Sunday afternoon.
While on the subject of Williams, it was also good to see them showing some form after the horror season they suffered in 2011. Pastor Maldonado had his FW34 in the top ten in all but one session and was set for a fine sixth place when, battling hard with King Fernando he made the one error of a fine weekend and planted the Williams very heavily into the concrete with just one lap to go. If you were going to place money on who, out of a Williams or a Ferrari, was going to have that accident this weekend, you wouldn't have had your hard-earned on the car from Grove. In an interesting coincidence their respective team-mates took each other out of the race on lap 46 while squabbling with the recovering Daniel Ricciardo's Toro Rosso.
Apart from a spin in the wet on Friday afternoon and being assaulted from just about every direction at turn one Ricciardo had a debut with Toro Rosso to remember. Consistently in the top ten throughout practice and qualifying he brought his battered baby bull into the pits at the end of lap one and then proceeded to put in one of the drives of the day. By lap 20 he was battling with the Caterhams and by lap 40 was brawling with Senna and Massa. By lap 50 he was by Paul di Resta in the sole remaining Force India (who where a bit of a disappointment after their testing pace) and closing rapidly on the battle for the final point. Entering the last lap he was still in 12th place, right behind his team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne when a) Maldonado bit the concrete, b) Rosberg and Perez bit each other and c) Vergne slowed to avoid being bitten by both. A ninth place finish and two points were well earned.
In the senior team, the Red Rags were the best of the "fuglies" with Seb finishing second after a nice aggressive drive and Mark having his best result at Albert Park in fourth. Vettel's pass on Rosberg on lap two was possibly the highest "pucker factor" pass ever completed at Albert Park around the outside heading down to the right hander at turn 12. "I had a good start initially and was surprised by Nico, who had a very good start and got past. I passed him again, which was a great manoeuvre and on the edge. Behind Michael, I had a mistake and went off in the first corner; he then did exactly the same when I got close to him, which was good." Yet another crap start saw Webber get caught up in some of the turn one mess and he completed the first lap in just ninth place but from that point he put in another good drive to close right onto the battle for second at the flag. The Red Rag was especially quick on the harder prime tyres and Mark emerged from the second pit stops in the fourth place that he would hold until the finish.
Of the rest? Lotus (formerly known as Renault, Benetton, Toleman etc) showed that it will be up amongst it this year with a great qualifying performance by Romain Grosjean who lined up third on the grid. Unfortunately for Romain he slipped to sixth after the start and was then nerfed off the track on lap 2 by Maldonado and ended his race with a broken right front suspension. Raikkonen made an error in his final qually run but drove well in the race to finish seventh from seventeenth on the grid. Promising signs. The Saubers again showed that they like Albert Park with Kamikaze Kamui entertaining everybody (except Kimi possibly) on his way to sixth and Perez putting in another excellent drive from the rear of the grid (placed there after a gearbox change) to eighth even after savaging Rosberg on that last lap.
And of the Silver Slings. Well they flattered to deceive. Super quick in practice and qualifying but when it came to the race they were far too brutal on their tyres and both fell off towards the end of their, rather short, stints. On top of that Schumacher's gearbox lunched itself after just ten laps and Rosberg also missed the points when he and Perez disagreed over a patch of track on the last lap. Rosberg had been dropping back all race though and was only eighth when said disagreement occurred anyway so they slunk off with no points.
Paul di Resta took the final point for the second year in a row but was shaded by the returning Nico Hulkenberg all weekend. Unfortunately for Nico he was out on lap one, being damaged in the first corner chaos but the Force India was just not really on the pace here. Caterham (formerly Lotus, gets confusing doesn't it) were closer to the midfield pack than recent seasons but still not there, they still need about another second to be in with a chance of points and the Marussia pair where about where you would expect a team that had no testing to be. At least they were better than the HRTs that for the second year in a row didn't qualify in Australia. Again they were still building the cars at the track and even when they got going struggled with boiling hydraulics that robbed them of their DRS, power steering and any chance of racing at all.

Q: Return true is return false? Magic I have problem in my C++ program for extracting audio from VoIP packets.
It works well on Linux and OpenBSD on amd64 and x86 but when I run program on OpenBSD on ARM it does really magic things.
I call return true in LoadConfigFile and in ProcessConfiguration is result false.
Can anyone please help me? Maybe I am only really blindman. I did many testing prints in code.
This is main fucntion of program which calls function ProcessConfiguration.
int main ( int argc, char **argv ) {

    if ( ! config.ProcessConfiguration( argc, argv ) ) {
        std::cout << "process configuration failed" << std::endl;
        std::cout << "exiting whole program with EXIT_FAILURE" << std::endl;
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    std::cout << "process configuration is true" << std::endl;

    // User want to only print configuration
    if ( config.m_printconfig == true ) {
        config.PrintConfig();
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }
    .
    . // Long uninteresting code
    .
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

This is function ProcessConfoguration which calls LoadConfigFile.
bool TConfig::ProcessConfiguration ( int & argc, char ** & argv ) {

    // Scan options from command line
    int c;
    while (( c = getopt ( argc, argv, "c:dhn" )) != EOF ) {
        switch (c) {
        case 'c':
            m_configfile = optarg;
            break;
        case 'd':
            m_daemon = false;
            break;
        case 'h':
            m_printusage = true;
            return true;
        case 'n':
            m_printconfig = true;
            break;
        default:
            return false;
        }
    }
    argc -= optind;
    argv += optind;

    if ( LoadConfigFile() == false ) {
        std::cout << "LoadConfigFile was false" << std::endl;
        return false;
    }
    std::cout << "LoadConfigFile was true" << std::endl;
    return true;
}

And this function loads configuration file a parses all directives.
bool TConfig::LoadConfigFile ( void ) {

    std::string line;
    std::string directive;
    std::ifstream data;

    if ( m_configfile.empty() ) {
        m_configfile = DEFAULT_CONFIGFILE;
    }

    std::cout << "opening file " << m_configfile << std::endl;

    data.open( m_configfile.c_str() );

    if ( ! data.is_open() ) {
        std::cerr << "Couldn't open config " << m_configfile << std::endl;
        return false;
    }
    std::cout << "configfile is open" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "before getline" << std::endl;
    while ( getline( data, line ) ) {
        std::cout << "after getline" << std::endl;
        trim_whitespaces( line );
        .
        . // Long uninteresting code
        .
    }
    std::cout << "before data.close" << std::endl;
    data.close();
    std::cout << "before return true in LoadConfigFile" << std::endl;
    return true;
}

And this is output on terminal.
$ ./call-extract -c call-extract.conf -d -n
opening file call-extract.conf
configfile is open
before getline
before data.close
before return true in LoadConfigFile
LoadConfigFile was false
process configuration failed
exiting whole program with EXIT_FAILURE
$ echo $?
1
$

I call return true in LoadConfigFile and in ProcessConfiguration is result false.

A: Returned true is true.
Output for me:
before return true in LoadConfigFile
LoadConfigFile was true

Code without uninteresting parts:
struct TConfig
{
    bool ProcessConfiguration()
    {
        bool rv = true;
        if( !LoadConfigFile() ) { rv = false; }
        printf("LoadConfigFile was %s\n", rv?"true":"false" );
        return rv;
    }

    bool LoadConfigFile ( void )
    {
        printf("before return true in LoadConfigFile\n");
        return true;
    }
};
void fv()
{
    TConfig config; config.ProcessConfiguration();
}

Lampard Retires From International Football
41 Aug 26, 2014 - 03:39 pm
By SLinternational
Frank Lampard has announced his retirement from international football after 106 caps for England in 15 years.
Lampard made his international debut in October 1999 and has since scored 29 goals for the Three Lions.
He made his final game for England in the 0-0 draw against Costa Rica at the World Cup in Brazil, with Roy Hodgson's side already being eliminated.
Lampard's management company released the following statement, which announces his retirement"
"I have taken the decision to retire from international football. It has been a very tough decision for me to make which is why I have given it so much thought since the World Cup."
"I have always been exceptionally proud and honoured to represent my country and have to say looking back I have enjoyed every minute of wearing the England shirt.
"Due to my club career now going in a different direction it is of utmost importance for me to consider my family first – also, to concentrate on how I can perform consistently to the best of my abilities over my next few years in club football.
"It is now the time to move forward and I feel very confident that, with Roy Hodgson in charge, the young players that we have coming through and the changes that are being made throughout the development of the youth system in this country, we will have success in the future and a team that this country deserves.
"I would like to thank all the managers that I have worked under, all the players that I have been fortunate enough to play alongside, and all the England fans for their support, not only at home, but particularly on their travels with the team around the world.
"I now look forward to continuing to support the team as a fan and wish them every success for the upcoming campaign towards France 2016."

Like many pilots who often consort with non-aviators, I'm frequently asked the same questions regarding general aviation, especially when people know I deliver airplanes internationally.
"I understand you deliver little airplanes to Australia. How long does that take? Two days? I came back from Sydney on a Qantas 747 last year, and that was a real grind—13 hours nonstop." Some of those folks are amazed when I tell them I rarely fly jets. My rides are more typically single- and twin-engine piston and turboprop aircraft that can require as long as a week to make the trip Down Under.
Many can't believe it's possible to fly a single-engine piston airplane across an ocean. "Wouldn't it be easier and safer to just put the airplane in a pallet and ship it? How many times have you had to ditch?"
When I tell them, "Never," they're understandably skeptical. Problem is, if I say the same thing to a group of pilots, even some of them don't believe me.
The myth is that engines quit all the time in "those little airplanes." After all, many newspaper accounts of aircraft accidents read like amateur night in the sky. "A light plane crashed in an open field on Sunday, only 17 miles from a school yard where middle-school children might have been playing if it hadn't been late July. The accident site was also only 235 miles from a nuclear powerplant that was closed in 1995. The plane, a single-engine Cherokee Skylane, made a successful landing as the pilot apparently remembered to extend the landing gear at the last second, but both propellers were nevertheless damaged. Both occupants escaped injury, and there was little other damage to the eight-seat aircraft (that wasn't equipped with a parachute). The FAA confirmed the pilot had not received a weather briefing for his planned 78-mile flight and had not filed a flight plan, so he had no idea where he was."
That's certainly one reason why many intelligent non-pilots, not intending any insult, almost always first ask the same question, "What do you do if the engine quits?" Pilots who read the brand of uninformed journalism above would keel over with laughter if it weren't for the fact that many people accept such ludicrous newspaper accounts as factual.
The reality is, if you do everything right and don't contribute to your own engine failure, chances are you'll never have one. The catchphrase above is, "Do everything right."
How many times have we read news accounts of an airplane that ran out of fuel two miles short of the runway after overflying a dozen possible landing sites? Or what about aircraft that lost power when an improperly secured oil cap came loose, and all the oil drained away, and the engine shut down for lack of lubrication?
The number of ways pilots can contribute to their own downfall is practically legend, and in this case, we're only considering engine failure.
Fortunately, that doesn't have to be the case. Properly maintained and operated aircraft engines are almost unbelievably durable. In many respects, they're more reliable than automotive engines. Most pilots will fly their entire lives without a murmur of complaint from the Lycoming/Continental/Jacobs/Pratt & Whitney out front.
To better appreciate the reliability of general aviation engines, we contacted Victor Sloan of Victor Aviation in Palo Alto, Calif. Sloan's technicians produce about 150 overhauled Lycoming and Continental powerplants each year, all balanced, blueprinted and cryogenically treated to minimize heat and vibration and deliver consistent power. Sloan's XR Black Edition VII engines have become a standard against which many overhaulers and original equipment manufacturers measure their products.
We asked Sloan about piston-engine reliability. He said, "Most people analogize aircraft engines to automotive engines, and aircraft powerplants will nearly always come out ahead in any comparison of reliability, if not technology. A standard Lycoming IO-360-A1A rated for 200 hp, for example, carries a TBO of 2,000 hours, and contrary to what you might imagine, that's not an unrealistic number if the engine is built correctly, flown often and treated properly with periodic servicing." Convert those hours to nm in a Cardinal RG or Mooney 201 at 150 knots, and it works out to roughly 300,000 nm. How many cars do you know that will run that far on their original engine?
Sloan also feels the difference in how automotive and aircraft engines are operated gives aircraft mills the edge. "While it's true most auto engines are rarely called on to deliver full power, they're usually revving up and down on most trips, and that generates stress. An aircraft engine is designed to deliver brief periods of full power, then run at 65% to 75% power all day long, and many of them do that very well on ferry flights across the Atlantic and Pacific."
When I asked him if there was one over-riding mistake that damages engines more than others, he responded, "Heat is the nemesis of all piston engines. Some pilots don't truly appreciate the importance of maintaining cylinder head temps at or below 380 degrees, either by use of cowl flaps, an adequately rich (or lean) mixture or lowering the nose to put more air through the cowling. Aircraft piston engines are constructed with a variety of metals, and each expands and contracts with a different heat coefficient. Even lean-of-peak operation is acceptable on many engine models as long as you maintain power settings and temperatures within limits.
"A CHT of 340 to 380 degrees is fairly optimum for most aircraft engines," Sloan continues. "Shock cooling is also tough on an engine, again because of the rate of contraction of different metals. If you can maintain the CHT at 350 degrees or more throughout every flight, you'll have a better chance of making your engine last well past TBO."
Sloan feels a proper warmup and cooldown are extremely important, too, especially in the big-bore Lycomings and Continentals. "An oil temperature of at least 100 degrees is essential before you apply run-up power if you hope to make it to TBO," says Sloan. "It's also a good idea to allow even a normally aspirated engine to cool down before you pull the mixture to idle/cutoff. There's no specific interval to worry about as there is with a turbo, usually three to five minutes, but any engine benefits from a minute or two to let things cool and settle down after delivering power.
"Similarly, shock cooling or shock heating can induce stress on engine components and cause premature fatigue," Sloan explains. "A number of advanced heat dissipation processes are available, such as high-emissivity electrostatic black powder coating, high-temperature ceramics and isotropic internal parts finishing. Unfortunately, these processes are not yet available through the engine manufacturers.
"A high frequency of engine use and intelligent cycling of engine power can also enhance engine life," says the engine overhaul expert. "Air show legend Bob Hoover is living proof of the concept. His big Shrike Commander was truly a working airplane, often flying 1,000 miles or more every week between air show venues. Hoover flew his two turbocharged Lycoming engines to TBO three times, flying 380 air shows without any major problems." Hoover retired his Commander to the National Air & Space Museum, Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va.
In other words, run your engine by the book, change the oil regularly, avoid conditions that might overheat it and fly as frequently as possible, and you, too, may someday have your airplane enshrined at the Smithsonian.
Flying is not inherently dangerous, but most unforgiving. Annon.

Coca-Cola's Gay-Friendly Super Bowl Ad: Nice But Hollow
Filed By John M. Becker | February 03, 2014 12:00 PM | comments

During last night's Super Bowl, Coca-Cola aired a commercial called "It's Beautiful" that highlighted the diversity of America by showing people and families of many genders, ages, races, religions, and sexual orientations (the ad featured a shot of two gay dads taking their daughter to a skating rink). As the footage rolled, "America the Beautiful" -- sung in different voices and languages -- played in the background.
According to GLAAD, it was the first-ever Super Bowl commercial to feature a same-sex couple.
If you, like me, missed the Super Bowl yesterday (I was flying back to D.C. from the Creating Change conference in Houston), you can watch the Coke spot below:
The spot won widespread acclaim, but it also quickly came under fire from two groups: racists and xenophobes (the "We speak English in Uhmurrika!" crowd) and LGBT advocates, who criticized Coca-Cola for making pro-LGBT overtures at home while sponsoring the anti-LGBT Sochi Olympics in Russia.
While the racist/xenophobic critiques were -- duh! -- bigoted and meritless, those from LGBT advocates were right on the money.
To be sure, Coca-Cola -- along with other proud Olympics sponsors like McDonald's, Procter & Gamble, and Visa -- are companies whose policies support LGBT Americans: Coca-Cola and P&G received perfect 100 ratings on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, and McDonald's and Visa both scored a respectable 90.
But the LGBT community isn't just an American one. We're a global community, and we're under siege in many countries (like Russia) whose governments have enacted draconian laws that call for our persecution, criminalization, arrest, torture, and even murder.
While it's all well and good that companies like Coca-Cola support LGBT protections and feature same-sex couples in feel-good advertisements in the United States, their willingness to accommodate, excuse, and overlook anti-LGBT human rights abuses abroad -- by sponsoring Vladimir Putin's anti-gay Olympics, for example -- suggests that their concern for our community may be more mercenary than moral. And we're not going to let them off the hook as long as they throw a pair of gay dads into a TV commercial.
Until these ostensibly pro-LGBT companies like take a harder stance against anti-LGBT hatred abroad (running an ad featuring gay dads in Russia, as Dan Savage suggests, would be a good start), gestures like Coca-Cola's gay-inclusive Super Bowl commercial will continue to ring hollow.


This was originally created by the Alcoholics Anonymous group in order to beat alcohol addiction. It gained its popularity from its early successful implementation in beating alcohol abuse that the drug rehab treatment adapted its own version of the 12-step program. Notwithstanding its focus on spirituality, it ended up being used by many mainstream treatment centres. Room was made for a variety of explanations of the concept according to how people can explain the idea of a God.
Due to the anonymous nature installed by the AA, and lack of provided information, it is difficult to know how effective the 12-step guide actually is. This model is considered to be working as many testimonies have been recorded and it's very widespread.

Nancy worked with my middle schooler on fundamentals as well as fractions and word problems. She is incredibly patient and has some great knowledge of helpful math techniques. Her work with him on the basics (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) really helped him be able to tackle more difficult concepts (such as fractions and word problems) with ease. I would highly recommend her as a math tutor.
William tutored me in SAT critical reading and writing, and after our studying together I achieved a score of 800 on both sections. It is a pleasure working with him. He taught me specific and effective test-taking techniques that improved my score tremendously. I would strongly recommend him to all of my friends and family.
Ms. Jane helps me stay focused and confident. She reminds me many ones that I can do it !

Even high-end brands like Lululemon face disturbing allegations of worker abuse
Reuters/Brendan McDermid
By Marc Bain
Fashion reporter
Low-paid workers producing clothes for Lululemon in Bangladesh say they endured physical abuse and regular humiliation from their managers, according to an investigation by the Guardian. One worker said she was violently slapped for leaving work early on a day when she was sick. Others described managers calling female workers "sluts" or "prostitutes," as well as instances of physical abuse. A male worker said men at the factory were beaten and mistreated too. The workers also faced intense pressure to hit production targets that resulted in them working long hours without rest or breaks for meals.
The allegations, which Lululemon says it takes seriously and is examining, are sadly too common in the garment industry. Every so often, investigations by journalists or other watchdogs have turned up similar accounts from factories in low-wage countries making clothes for large international clothing companies. Frequently they're the sort that sell large volumes of ultra-cheap clothes, resulting in a picture of worker abuse occurring in the supply chains of fast-fashion labels and other peddlers of incredibly inexpensive clothing.
But the allegations against Lululemon—a premium label built on sales of leggings that can cost well upwards of $100
—make clear labor abuses in clothing supply chains aren't just a problem of fast fashion.
Earlier this year, the Ethical Trading Initiative, an alliance of companies, trade unions, and other organizations advocating for workers's rights, released an in-depth report arguing the business model driving much of mass-market fashion contributes directly to the chronic abuses seen in the industry. This model relies on a dispersed—and consequently opaque—global supply chain to produce clothes at the greatest speed and lowest price possible, leading companies to low-wage countries in Southeast Asia and Latin America as they seek out factories offering the best mix of price, speed, and quality. It's the reason Bangladesh, where the Guardian detailed the abuse allegations, has grown into the world's second-largest garment exporter, and arguably why even a premium brand such as Lululemon produces most of its clothing in these regions (pdf).
The workers at the factory in Chittagong told the Guardian they could earn as little as 9,100 taka a month (about $107.50, or roughly the cost of one pair of Lululemon's less-expensive leggings). The amount is higher than Bangladesh's minimum of 8,000 taka a month for garment workers, yet still far less than the 16,000 taka some have demanded and activists say would constitute a living wage. To be as efficient as possible, and therefore make the most money for the factory, workers are also under great pressure to hit production numbers. At times these goals may hardly be achievable without them working extra hours or forgoing breaks for the bathroom or meals, as allegedly occurred in the factory supplying Lululemon.
Thousands of Bangladeshi garment workers on the outskirts of Dhaka protested for better wages in January.
Issues of low pay and excessive hours don't just crop up in developing regions. An investigation by the New York Times last year found home-based workers in Italy making garments for high-end brands. One woman said she earned wages well below what unions the Times spoke with considered acceptable and might work days as long as 18 hours.
Lululemon said in a statement the company is committed to a full investigation of the allegations at its supplier. "Members of lululemon's social responsibility and production team visited the factory in Bangladesh immediately to speak with workers and learn more," the company said. "We will work with an independent non-profit third party to fully investigate the matter. While our production at this factory is extremely limited, we will ensure workers are protected from any form of abuse and are treated fairly."
A source close to the situation says the company has hired Impactt, an ethical trade consultancy, for the investigation. The person said Lululemon also intends to enlist other companies contracting with the factory to help remediate it.
It's not clear at the moment which other brands have their clothes made at the factory. The Guardian identified it as being owned by Youngone Corporation, a large Korean firm that produces for a number of outdoor and sport brands. Adidas (xls) and Patagonia (pdf), for instance, both list Youngone factories in Chittagong as suppliers, though there's no indication workers producing their clothes suffered any abuse. Yougone told the Guardian it's committed to providing working environments that are safe and fair, and that it has launched an internal investigation.
The alleged abuse of mostly female workers looks bad for Lululemon, a company that markets wellbeing to a mostly female audience, even if allegations of this sort tend not to have long-term financial impact on companies, to judge from recent examples like H&M and Gap. Lululemon, meanwhile, says it assesses all its partners and has a Vendor Code of Ethics laying out how it expects them to operate. The company says it conducts annual audits of its largest suppliers and audits factories that do a small share of production for it at least every 18 months. The source close to the matter said the Lululemon is looking to understand the root causes that led to the worker abuses.


As allotment of a basal absoluteness simulation, this accustomed arena has been adulterated with some of the assorted effects—overexposure, blur, added edges, heightened contrast, blush desaturation, and beheld snow—that bodies with autism often address experiencing.
The backwoods is still—until, out of the bend of my eye, I apprehension a erfly agitate into view. At aboriginal it is about perceptible, but as I watch the erfly added intently, the copse about it becloud and the insect grows brighter. The added I curiosity at it, the added astonishing it becomes, authoritative it absurd for me to attending away. Afore continued the absolute backwoods recedes, and the erfly explodes into a red starburst, like a fireworks display. Everything goes dark. Then, dozens of white dots army about me. On my left, they are aloof dots. On my right, they leave continued trails of spaghetti-like light. The adverse makes me acutely acquainted that the present is never accomplished as a algebraic instant; it has some duration, and the acumen of that can alter with context.
The acquaintance evaporates as anon as I booty off my headset.
This immersive virtual-reality (VR) acquaintance was a basal attending at Beholder, an art installation at the Victoria and Albert Architecture in London in September that approved to charm how autistic bodies apperceive the world. It is now on affectation at the arcade that commissioned it, Birmingham Accessible Media. The project's creator, Matt Clark, has a acutely autistic 15-year-old son, Oliver. "He can't talk; his behaviors are acutely challenging," says Clark, artistic administrator of United Beheld Artists, an art and architecture accumulation based in London. Clark congenital Beholder so he and others could see the apple through his son's eyes. He collaborated with artists who either are on the spectrum or accept ancestors associates who are.
The action exemplifies a new access to the use of VR for autism. For added than two decades, scientists have experimented with the technology to set up controlled scenarios to abstraction autistic traits. At the aforementioned time, some teams accept acclimated VR to actualize role-playing environments for practicing amusing skills. Increasingly, however, bodies with autism are appliance VR to back their own experiences, both to accession acquaintance of the action and to abduction the cerebral and perceptual differences that characterize it. Some experts achievement these efforts will advance to new assay collaborations and applications.
These immersive adventures are, in abounding ways, the agenda agnate of Temple Grandin's narratives, which were amid the ancient first-person descriptions of autism. A dozen or so projects that can be beheld online use loud noises or aflame lights to try to carbon sensations such as acoustic afflict at a arcade mall, appointment affair or ancestors get-together. Hardly added busy efforts, such as the trailer for Carly Fleischmann's book, Carly's Voice: Breaking Through Autism, and the action Listen, layer the furnishings over a storyline. But a few are abnormally advancing in aiming to accommodate specific acoustic impressions. Examples of the closing are Beholder and an augmented-reality arrangement created by researcher Yukie Nagai and her colleagues at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology in Osaka, Japan.
Proponents of VR altercate that no added average comes as aing to putting you in addition else's shoes. "Having a perceptual experience—that's commodity we haven't been able to do afterwards VR," says Albert "Skip" Rizzo, assay assistant at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and a avant-garde of appliance VR in psychiatry. "You can watch a movie, but it's altered than walking about and accepting your perceptual experience," Rizzo says.
These projects are not uncontroversial, however. So-called 'disability simulation exercises'—blindfolding bodies to authenticate eyes crime or authoritative them use crutches to acknowledge advancement challenges—are mainstays of assortment training. But they abort to abduction the amusing a that is generally allotment of a disability, and they can arm-twist benevolence and condescension, active bodies afar rather than together.
Autism therapists and advisers started to use VR in the mid-1990s, not continued afterwards headsets became broadly accessible to consumers and added forms of immersion, such as first-person ballista games, became popular. Advisers generally deployed the technology to actualize basal environments to advice autistic bodies rehearse demanding encounters. For instance, Rizzo's aggregation congenital a virtual job-interview training program. In a abstraction appear aftermost year, they recruited adults with autism or added altitude for a training regimen involving interviewers who ranged from affable to aggressive. Rizzo says the participants with autism decidedly bigger in their interviewing skills, as rated by job counselors.
VR additionally facilitates imaging abstracts that would contrarily be impossible—such as enabling addition lying in a scanner to badinage with basal humans. "In adjustment to admeasurement this in an imaging platform, you basically accept to use basal reality," Mundy says.
For all its credible advantages, however, VR has yet to be anxiously activated as a ameliorative or assay apparatus for autism. Several meta-analyses this year angry up analogously few studies, and best had alone a scattering of participants and no ascendancy group. New and a colleague, for instance, begin a absolute of six studies back 1990 that accept activated head-mounted VR displays in acceptance with autism. "There isn't that abundant affirmation to abutment the use of this yet," New says.
One acumen is cost, not aloof of the accessories but of the programmers and animators bare to actualize the content. Mundy laments that he hasn't been able to apparatus some of his account for abridgement of bodies with the accordant expertise. "One of the affidavit I couldn't go added with it was that I couldn't pay the coder as abundant as a high-tech aggregation [could]," he says. Consequently, VR scenarios abide awful simplified, and the technology's much-touted advantage—realism—remains out of reach.
New additionally says that advisers accept hardly asked autistic bodies what they appetite from the technology. "There's still a bit of a addiction to assay about autism and autistic groups as against to assay with them," he says. This is absolutely what the new first-person adventures seek to rectify.
Many bodies with autism are fatigued to VR out of a action of invisibility.
"Until a predominantly neurotypical society/culture puts in the agnate bulk of accomplishment and time to accept us and accept to us as we put into compassionate and alert to it, we will abide to be disabled," says Sonja Zelić, an autistic artisan based in London who contributed to Beholder. Imperfect admitting it is, VR can advice to appropriate that balance.
Some bodies with autism say they adopt VR to a accepted talking-head account because it doesn't crave them to sit in advanced of a camera; they can assignment abaft the scenes. "I acquisition it an uncomfortably voyeuristic bearings to accept to explain my autistic adventures publicly," Kruse says.
The Party, produced by The Guardian newspaper, is notable for its close chat as its boyish advocate copes with her aloof ancestors and ancestors friends. The action was the abstraction of novelist Lucy Hawking, babe of the backward physicist Stephen Hawking; her son, William, is autistic. The calligraphy writer, Sumita Majumdar, is additionally autistic, and the action complex ascribe from autism researchers. "We approved to be accurate to the science, but it was absolutely important that we congenital a lot of the beheld acquaintance of the becloud on what bodies had said," says Owen Parsons, a alum apprentice in Simon Baron-Cohen's lab at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. "Of course, if the science is correct, again those two things should not disagree with anniversary other," Parsons says.
In 2014, Nagai showed 22 autistic bodies videos of a alternation station, a bazaar and two dozen added accustomed vignettes. In anniversary of these settings, the participants rated which of 12 beheld furnishings they accomplished and to what degree. The aggregation edited that account bottomward to six decidedly accepted effects: overexposure, blur, added edges, heightened contrast, blush desaturation and beheld snow. Nagai activated the participants' letters with the appearance of anniversary scene, such as brightness, movement and complete level. In the end, she acclimatized on the aftermost three of these beheld furnishings as actuality the best reproducible for her simulation.
Nagai's actor is an bulky contraption: a accepted gaming angle kitted out with a webcam. Cables run to a laptop that a alum apprentice carries in a bung like a newborn. Back I band on the actor on a May day in Osaka, I accept a normal, if hardly lagging, appearance of the allowance about me. As the apprentice switches on the simulator, though, Nagai's face blurs, authoritative her expressions adamantine to read. Turning away, I bound acquisition myself captivated by what appears to be an abstruse Impressionist painting; it turns out to be a gray anteroom partition. I attending at my hand; the creases resemble intricate nut art. The system's acute adverse brings out akin the aboriginal textures.
Led by Nagai, I drag bottomward the anteroom and out into the parking lot. Everything is whited out at first, as if I've taken off my sunglasses on a abundantly ablaze day. Whenever I about-face my arch or a car drives by, blush drains from the image, like applying a noir clarify on Instagram. As we re-enter the building, the brusque concealment unleashes a blast of accidental speckles beyond the arena like so abounding polka dots. The lobby's asperous lighting is exaggerated. Shafts of ablaze alternating with darker regions, giving bodies apparitional outlines.
The simulation is absolutely visual, but Nagai says they accept been recruiting volunteers for a abstraction of complete perception. The aggregation is experimenting with audio furnishings such as white noise; bombinate notes, such as a connected 1000-hertz accomplishments sound; and filters that aish assertive ranges of audio frequencies.
Since 2015, Nagai and her colleagues accept captivated some two dozen workshops in Osaka and Tokyo for teachers, therapists and parents of autistic children, in which they let bodies try the simulator, see clips from it in several accustomed settings, and again altercate it. The advisers additionally awning accepted video documentaries about autism. Ayaya was initially arguable about the action but has back appear around. "It was bigger than I expected," she says. The simulation highlights aspects of her perception, such as the beheld snow, that she had taken for granted, she says. "I was afraid that neurotypical bodies were surprised," she says.
Ayaya stresses that akin if the actor succeeds at apery the autistic acoustic experience, it cannot abduction higher-level aspects of perception. "You may see how we see, but what you feel is not consistently the aforementioned as what we feel," she says.
A accessible cardboard on the actor reinforces this point. Kuriko Kagitani-Shimono, a pediatric neurologist at Osaka University, says she showed video clips from the actor to 45 autistic bodies and 46 neurotypical volunteers and acclimated magnetoencephalography to admeasurement their academician responses. The patterns of action did not match. "The absolute acoustic responses of autistic bodies are altered from those of about developed bodies cutting the actor in abounding ways," she says.
Nagai has not approved the arrangement alfresco these workshops, and a YouTube video does not do it justice, so added advisers were clumsy to comment. They say they like the assumption it is based on, however. Parsons says the real-time augment ability accommodate greater adjacency than a scripted film. "You're accepting that acquaintance one footfall closer," he says. New praises Nagai's affiliation with bodies on the spectrum: "Autistic bodies themselves can carbon beheld experiences, and this is absolute atypical and commodity that has not been done before," he says.
Therapists, too, could use a actor of autistic acumen in their training. Lok has helped to advance simulators for doctors and nurses to convenance their bedside manner, admitting not for autism. He founded a company, Shadow Health, to advertise these basal patients. "They can attending any way; they can complete any way; they can behave any way that the drillmaster wants them to; and you can get actual acknowledgment on how you did," he says.
Clark says the technology could additionally be acclimatized to accommodate a carriageable attentive amplitude for bodies with autism. "This could act as a abode of sanctuary," he says. In one abstruse study, New asked 31 autistic and 13 archetypal students, age-old 6 to 16 years, at four English schools to rank the needs they anticipation VR could fill. The top best in both groups of acceptance was for VR as a agency to relax back they feel overwhelmed. "Their preference, beyond all of those questions, is that [VR] makes them feel airy and calm," New says.
As with added uses of VR in autism assay and therapy, however, there has been a abridgement of analytical evaluation. Participants in Nagai's workshops ample out avenue questionnaires, but Kumagaya says the aggregation has alone aloof amorphous to chase up to see whether the acquaintance has any abiding aftereffect on attitudes against bodies with autism. For now, the alone affirmation that VR succeeds at eliciting affinity is anecdotal.
Many anguish that by assuming alone one attenuated ambit of autism, VR applications may absolutely backfire. Zelić is edgeless about its limitations: "I feel that it is about absurd to back the abyss of autistic acuteness and affect visually because we don't accurate this in accustomed neurotypical ways, and so these types of reconstructions can abatement into a affectionate of parody." A cautionary account comes from schizophrenia research. Over the accomplished two decades, abundant advisers accept developed immersive adventures of psychosis that characterize beheld and audition hallucinations, including antagonistic voices. These simulations can be disturbing to watch. In 2011, a meta-analysis of nine such projects begin that they fabricated the participants more empathic to bodies with schizophrenia but additionally beneath accommodating to collaborate with them.
Clark, accepted for his all-embracing multimedia installations and date sets, says the action started with an awkward abeyance in chat with Birmingham Accessible Media's founder, Karen Newman. "We were aloof talking about ancestors action and bound accomplished that both Matt's son and my brother are autistic," she says.
The aggregation autonomous to focus on what Clark's son and Zelić acquisition admirable and translated these thoughts into a alternation of attributes scenes, including the one with the erfly. "No one anytime thinks to allocution about autism from this [positive] perspective," Kruse says. "The anecdotal is consistently focused on difficulties, or the strange, maybe affecting differences of the autistic mind." And the vignettes they developed are acute as art, behindhand of what they may or may not say about autism. In one examination arena of Beholder, rain avalanche assimilate the floor, sending out apathetic ripples; in another, leaves abatement acclaim to the ground. In yet another, I was diminished to abrasion size, absent but in awe of behemothic blades of grass acceptable overhead.

XM Satellite Radio Brings Music to NYC Marathon
Lance Fiasco November 2, 2001 • 12:00 am
XM Satellite Radio, the first U.S. digital satellite radio service, will bring music to the New York City Marathon at 10 locations along the 26-mile course, featuring a variety of XM's 100 channels, which it calls "Radio to the Power of X."
Working with retail partner Best Buy and the New York City Roadrunners Club, XM will broadcast great digital music representative of its 71 music channels – ranging from rock to jazz, hip-hop to country, blues to classical – to help the marathoners as they make their way through the five boroughs of New York.
"XM will bring the most diverse selection of music, news and talk to the most culturally diverse city in America," said XM President and CEO Hugh Panero, a veteran New York City Marathon runner and a native New Yorker. "We're pleased to work with Best Buy to enhance one of America's premier sporting events in the greatest city in the world."
The marathon marks the debut of the XM sound in New York. XM is based in Washington, DC where it originates its music channels from its 80-studio broadcast center. XM also broadcasts several channels from its four New York studios, including "Frank's Place," the American Standards channel featuring radio personality Jonathan Schwartz. Already launched in the Southern half of the U.S., XM will officially launch service in the Big Apple later this month, when XM radios will be on shelves at Best Buy and other major electronics retailers.
XM will transform radio, an industry that has seen little technological change since FM, almost 40 years ago. Delivered coast to coast by two high- powered satellites, XM provides digital music channels to soothe the mind and information channels to fill it. XM's programming lineup includes 71 music channels, more than 30 of them commercial-free; and 29 sports, talk, children's and entertainment channels, plus premiere news and information services such as FOX News, CNN Headline News, CNBC, Bloomberg, CNNfn, USA Today and C-SPAN. Leading manufacturers such as Sony, Alpine and Pioneer will offer 24 models of XM radios, a broad array including universal models that will easily enable any existing car stereo system to receive XM service, and new AM/FM/XM systems offering many other great features. Delphi-Delco systems will roll out initially in Cadillac DeVille and Seville models beginning this month, expanding to more than 20 GM models next year.
XM's strategic investors include America's leading car, radio and satellite TV companies – General Motors, American Honda Motor Co. Inc., Clear Channel Communications and DIRECTV. For more information, please visit XM's web site: http://www.xmradio.com.

Are you considering a move to Colombia? This county, once thought to be only for drug lords, is now home to a growing expat community, and for good reason. Moving to Colombia is far from the scary idea it used to be back in Pablo Escobar's heyday. Over the past decade, expats have begun to look beyond this country's jaded past and focus on its bright future. A future filled with innovation and opportunity.
As with any country, we strongly recommend getting your "boots on the ground" before committing to a move. Luckily, there is no visa required to enter Colombia for citizens of the U.S. and Canada, making a scouting trip quite easy.
When moving to Colombia it is important to take into consideration shipping for all of your household goods and items you just can't leave behind. We recommend finding a reliable and trusted shipping agent that has experience in Colombia. It will likely be easier to find a Colombian company that works directly with an American (or Canadian) company, as Colombia's import and customs can be a tough cookie to crack for those unfamiliar with the process.
So it is time to make the move to Colombia… now what should you bring? Deciding what to take and what to leave is a very important part of any move, but especially one that involves a completely new country. We recommend taking inventory of all the items you have and breaking them into a list of things you can and cannot live without. Then go through and cut down your "can't live withouts," taking out those items that you are likely to find suitable replacements for in Colombia. Keep in mind that most items in Colombia are likely to cost much less than your current ones did and shipping many large items is likely to add up quickly.
On your flight to Colombia you can bring (depending on your airline) several large suitcases (generally up to 50 lbs.) which comes in handy for those items you will need right away. These items will typically include clothing, small electronics, documents, valuables, medical items, etc. It is important to review the policy of the airline you will using to see any restrictions on the items you can bring through air travel.
Driving to Colombia from North America is not an option, as the Pan-American Highway has a break in Panama's Darien Gap and does not begin again until within Colombia.

How do We Define Riker's Beard?
For No Shave November, Urban Dictionary has our answer.
Mark Newbold
November 16, 2019 10:00 AM EST
Take a look through the ever-expanding Urban Dictionary and you will find the phrase "Riker's Beard." As a Star Trek fan, and a person simply existing on the internet during the infamous No Shave November, you will no doubt be familiar with the term. Here's how the dictionary describes it:
"Euphemism for a moment in time (typically in pop culture) where something or someone that was lackluster and/or underachieving suddenly and surprisingly became much better and exciting. Taken from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which many fans considered wanting until Commander Riker grew a beard at the start of Season Two, after which the show was solid and well-received for the rest of its run."
As opposed to jumping the shark, Riker's Beard is nothing but positive. It's the symbol of a moment when something average becomes something far better. Not that Jonathan Frakes and Commander William Riker weren't already great, but that first appearance of Riker's beard in the opening episode of "The Child" in season two was the start of a relationship that would continue for almost 30 years. (Star Trek: Insurrection saw the beard take a trip to Risa for a few days, not that Troi was complaining.)
The decision to grow the beard was all Frakes'. Tired of shaving, he opted to arrive at TNG rehearsals unshaven and luckily for the actor, the Urban Dictionary and the rest of the known universe, Gene Roddenberry liked the facial fuzz as well. Speaking at a convention, Frakes recalled the moment when Roddenberry made clear his opinion on the beard. "I love the beard. It's nautical. We'll keep the beard, we'll trim it down and shape it. It'll be decorative." It took five episodes of tweaking, shaping, shaving, trimming and sticking on hair when too much had been shaved away before the producers were finally happy with the beard's structural integrity.
So, a stylistic choice by the actor, fueled by a desire to not shave every morning created something that coincided with TNG stepping out of the shadow of its illustrious predecessor and becoming very much its own entity. Frakes himself was very clear which version of Riker he preferred. "Bearded, without a doubt," The actor said. "I'm so proud that Riker's beard is in the Urban Dictionary, defined as the opposite of jumping the shark. So, I'd have to go with the beard. And I've always liked the beard."
As the second season continued to develop, so grew the character of Riker with it. He began to evolve from a sharply focused, career-driven first officer into the nurturing, team player full of wise words and encouragement who would eventually take command of the U.S.S. Titan in the final moments of Star Trek: Nemesis 15 years later.
To do the beard justice, perhaps we should highlight a trio of great beard moments. Of course, we can't forget the bubble bath scene in Insurrection, when Riker and Troi's relationship blossoms once again, and Troi discovers what it's like to kiss her beau with a beard.
"Yuck?"
"I never kissed you with a beard before!"
"I kiss you and you say, yuck?"
The Federation's fateful encounter with the Borg during the events of "The Best of Both Worlds" saw the beard tested to its very limits as its owner pushed the boundaries of his temporary command by making decisions we believe a beardless Riker would have blanched at.
And who can forget the season-six episode "The Quality of Life." as a trio of bearded Starfleet officers – Worf, Riker and Geordi La Forge (actor LeVar Burton, bearded for the one and only time on TNG due to his own real-life nuptials) – play poker with Dr. Crusher, announcing that she's suspicious of men who wear beards because they might be hiding something.
"Hide? Don't be ridiculous, Doctor. The beard is an ancient and proud tradition."
And there you have it, a proud and ancient tradition brought to the Star Trek galaxy by an actor who very wisely decided that shaving was no longer for him. Here's to Jonathan Frakes, William T. Riker, and most importantly Riker's Beard.
Mark Newbold (he/him) has been an avid Trek fan since the 1970's, when TOS was shown on UK TV, but it was the original cast movie series and TNG era that sealed the deal. Mark is a writer for Star Trek The Official Magazine, is editor-in-Chief of Star Trek: The Neutral Zone and was a stage host at Destination Star Trek Germany in 2018. At heart, he's a Niner.

"I just never had the heart to tell her," her mom Maryann Price said. "I didn't want to be negative about something she was so sure she wanted."
Her mom didn't think it was possible. When her daughter was born with Down syndrome 20 years ago, many children with disabilities had to fight to be allowed into traditional elementary school classes. College wasn't a consideration.
But don't tell that to Price. She knows better.
This week Price, 20, is the first person to graduate with a certificate in College and Career Studies in the Path to Independence Program. It's a two year non-degree certificate program for students with intellectual disabilities. It is a collaboration of several UNR departments and state agencies.
"Now I get to say I went to college and I will always be of the Wolf Pack," Price said at a ceremony honoring her Monday night.
She thanked her parents for believing in her and "Oh, and for paying my tuition, which was nice," she laughed.
Modeled after similar programs around the country, courses were chosen for Price from a template of requirements in academics, independent living courses and electives. Personal academic goals and requirements were set up for Price with professors, tutors and instructional coaches.
"Modifications are made but students are expected to be doing the work," said the Director of Path to Independence Mary Bryant. "Natasha participated in class," she said "She raised her hand, answered questions and worked in groups."
Bryant said students and professors have been surprised about how much Price and two other students who will graduate next spring, participated. .
"Many might not have known someone with a developmental disability who was allowed to participate like this, with high expectations, in high school."
Bryant said studies show that students with developmental disabilities that have access to post-secondary education are more likely to find and keep a job, live above the poverty level and have employment options.
Seven students have been accepted in the program for the fall semester.
Bryant said she learned a lot from Price.
When the program started, Price was to be paired with a peer mentor to help get her to her classes.
"No, I don't want that," said the outgoing college student, who rode city buses on her own for four hours a day to make it to classes.
She credited the program for giving her confidence, even her speech class, which was her toughest.
And like most college students, not everything she learned happened in the classroom.
"My favorite part of college was being around people my own age, and making new friends," she said.
