Last semester I ran into one of my former high school students, a girl from an AP calculus class. She told me she graduated Queens College with a degree in Human Relations and after nine months working for a firm that was making her miserable she decided to return to school, come to the community college to make up courses she needed to go on to become an occupational therapist. We planned on getting together but things came up and we never made it, until today.
We sat and chatted for about an hour. It was great seeing her and hearing about how great she is doing. The words that rang out for me was when she told me she learned to love math in my class and how she had no idea how she even ended up in an advanced placement math class as her math grades leading up to the class were not very good. I didn't want to tell her that I would bet being the same race as the assistant principal might have had something to do with her being in the class as other students, possibly more qualified were not allowed in, but that is another post, ones addressed on this blog many times. Anyway, all ended good for this young woman. She got a 3 on AP exam, enough to get college credit and never having to take math again.
I worked for an AP who, day after day, tried to make me feel like I was the world's worst teacher.In fact, years after I left, he still spent many department meetings talking about what an awful teacher I was. I'm glad I never bought into his nonsense and left before he had any real power to destroy my career but I know he is doing the same to teachers still in the school and good, caring teachers are leaving in droves before they are actually ready to go.
The real evaluation of what I do and did as a teacher comes from the students who sat in my class daily. A young woman who graduated in 2010 still remembers how she felt and learned in my class lets me know I really did make a difference. The students are the ones who know.

North Carolina's Role in 9/11
September 11, 2009 by Civitas Staff Leave a Comment
As we remember the victims of the 9/11 attack it is important to also remember North Carolina's role in the affair.
It is helpful to review the Roman Senator Cicero's words: in sinu viperam habere ("to hold a viper on the bosom"). The viper in North Carolina's bosom was radical islamic terrorist that attended NC A&T University in Greensboro.
Recent CIA documents have been declassified that show the motivations of a man that has been called the architect of 9/11.
Cam Simpson of the WSJ Blog Washington Wire has the story here.
"A brief CIA biography of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed also says that the time he spent studying engineering at North Carolina A&T University during the mid-1980s "almost certainly helped propel him on his path to become a terrorist." The university is one of the nation's historically black schools.
The report says that KSM told his interrogators "that his contacts with Americans, while minimal, confirmed his view that the United States was a debauched and racist country."
Take a moment today and consider how much easier the attack was made by allowing these killers in our midst.
Tonight at the Conservative Leadership Conference, Civitas is honored to host Robert Spencer of Jihad watch to discuss the ongoing threat of terrorism.

Report blasts UT fracking study, lax oversight
By Vicki Vaughan
Updated 4:03 pm CST, Friday, December 7, 2012
A review panel that examined conflict-of-interest charges against the leader of a University of Texas at Austin study on hydraulic fracturing study released a report Thursday that harshly criticized how the study was conducted and the university's ethics rules for research.
The panel called for UT to adopt "rigorous" policies governing conflicts of interest and financial disclosure for all university personnel.
The university formed the panel last summer when it came to light that the study's leader, Dr. Charles "Chip" Groat, was an industry insider. He served as a director and held stock in a company that did hydraulic fracturing.
Groat retired from his faculty position at the university last month. The director of the UT Energy Institute, Raymond Orbach, though he had no direct role in overseeing Groat's report, resigned Monday, the university said in a statement.
The fracking study, which was presented in February at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said it found no evidence that hydraulic fracturing polluted groundwater.
With fracking, drillers use water, sand and chemicals to blast shale formations deep underground to free oil and natural gas.
The review panel said the study wasn't "fact based," that little scientific data was presented as part of the report, and that its conclusions were distorted as it moved through various drafts.
The study "fell short of contemporary standards for scientific work," the panel said.
Another key problem, the panel continued, was the failure of Groat to disclose his conflict of interest, and a university policy on conflicts that was "poorly crafted and even less well enforced."
When he participated in the fracking study, Groat, then associate director of the Energy Institute, was a paid director of Houston-based Plains Exploration and Productions Co., held shares in the company and received stock awards. In May, when the company's proxy was sent to shareholders, he owned shares worth more than $1.58 million based on the company's per-share price at the time.
The reviewers said Groat basically assembled a team whose white papers became the basis of the fracking study, and the papers weren't subject "serious peer review." In addition, the team included only one active scientist.
The panel recommended that the study be removed from the Energy Institute's website, and a university spokeswoman said Thursday that had been done.
Kevin Connor, director of the Public Accountability Initiative in Buffalo, N.Y., called the 42-page report — the product of a three-month review — "damning."
"It sheds some much-needed sunlight on the whole process of the original fracking report, and it's not a pretty picture," said Connor, an early critic of university's fracking study.
But he praised UT and the review panel, saying, "They deserve a lot of credit for taking a stand on academic integrity and agreeing to follow the recommendations in the report."
In addition to more stringent conflict-of-interest rules, the panel said the Energy Institute should demand annual disclosure of relevant financial relations of all those involved in its projects. Also, the institute should develop a rigorous quality control framework, and the role of all participants in its projects should be "thoroughly documented."
The university said it agrees with the panel's conclusions and will adopt its recommendations.
"We would like to address this from the standpoint of institutional trust and reliability," University Provost Steven Leslie said Thursday.
"We want to take strong action so that the public will know they can rely on and trust this university."
The University of Texas System adopted more stringent conflict-of-interest policies related to research that went into effect on Aug. 23.
In addition, Leslie said the university is working to put in place a "compliance audit" of personnel, but exactly what the audit will require remains under discussion, he said.
A high-level official on campus will ensure that all researchers on campus are complying with the new conflict-of-interest rules, he said.
The panel examined the ethics policies of several highly regarded organizations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Institutes of Health. All have policies that say manuscripts should be accompanied by clear disclosures.
The review panel was headed by Norman Augustine, retired chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corp. and a former member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

An earlier version of this article should have noted that an independent panel's review of a University of Texas at Austin study of hydraulic fracturing took no position on the study's conclusions.

Q: There has to be a way to get my data bound at the correct time  Say aspx page called  theParent has a  DataGrid control named theDataGrid and a UserControl  named theUserControl ,   and theUserControl has a button named theUcButton .
Yes, I know, very imaginative naming.
When  theUcButton is clicked , a session variable is changed.
This session variable is a select parameter for the datasource of theDataGrid.
However, because of the order of stuff called in the page lifecycle, when theUcButton is clicked and a postback is generated ,
theParent controls are loaded before theUserControl resets the session variable, and theDataGrid does not show the new data until the next postback .
How to I get what I want to work?
I am using 3.5 if that matters.

A: You can declare an event as a member of the UserControl class, raise it, and handle it in the Page class.
You can also use other events like Page.PreRender() to pick up things after the user control's events.

A: Here is example code for your user control to raise an event.
public partial class WebUserControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl{
public event EventHandler Updated;

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //do some work to this user control

    //raise the Updated event
    if (Updated != null)
        Updated(sender, e);
}}

Then from your .aspx page, you'll deal with the new event just like usual
    <uc1:WebUserControl ID="WebUserControl1" runat="server" OnUpdated="WebUserControl1_Updated" />

Code behind:
protected void WebUserControl1_Updated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //handle the user control event
}

A: The easiest way would be to hold off on the databind until the later in the lifecycle, such as the Page.PreRender event as joelt suggested.  If you do the bind then, you should have the session variables.

American Express reclaims top spot in J.D. Power ranking
by Taylor Tompkins
American Express reclaimed the top spot in this year's J.D. Power ranking survey. Customer satisfaction with credit card issuers improved overall, spurred by the proliferation of rewards benefits.
The rewards war is raising the tide of customer satisfaction across all cards, especially with regional banks who have returned as serious players in the credit card market.
According to the 2017 J.D. Power Credit Card Satisfaction study, customers are more satisfied with their credit cards than they have been since the recession. This year's industry average was the highest ever recorded at 802 points, up 6 points from 2016. The study found that rewards, especially cash back, are more competitive and thus giving customers more of what they want.
American Express reclaimed the top spot after two years of falling behind Discover. Discover's customer satisfaction score stayed mostly stagnant while American Express improved, and in turn surpassed, Discover. Capital One stayed consistent, taking third place for the second year in a row.
Consumers have been feeling positive about all industries since the recession, said Jim Miller, senior director of banking practice at J.D. Power. But even though other industries' satisfaction growth has slowed, credit card issuers continue to see higher customer approval each year, Miller said.
"The benefits keep increasing," Miller said. "It's so competitive that they're all moving up (in customer satisfaction)."
Citi, regional banks made big progress
Citi was the most improved issuer this year, due in large part to the Citi Double Cash Rewards card and the Costco Anywhere Visa card – both of which didn't exist a few years ago, Miller said.
Mega banks aren't the only ones reaping the benefits from the rewards card firefight. For the first time, the study looked at regional banks' customer satisfaction scores and found they are staying competitive with national issuers. Regions Bank came out strong, snapping at the heels of Discover's No. 2 spot, just 13 points behind.
"They're becoming stronger players," Miller said. "It made sense to include them."
Cash back is king
The survey also found that cash back reigns supreme in the rewards realm. Scores were higher for cards with cash back programs as opposed to those with miles or general rewards.
Miller said there's a good reason for cash back's dominance.
"It's the simplicity of it," Miller said.
The study was conducted by surveying 22,896 credit card customers on six major factors, including credit card terms, rewards and benefits and services.
To dig deeper into the rankings and to find out which specific cards are recommended by CreditCards.com reviewers, take a look at the interactive graphic below.

In the previous section, we have discussed the principles of second messengers (Section 1.5) and, in particular, those produced by PLC (IP3 and DAG) and PI3 kinase (PI(3,4)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3). We shall now consider the roles and mechanisms of action of the other chief mediators, which are Ca2+ ions, cAMP and cGMP

Members of this family of enzymes contain two catalytic domains and several protein binding domains (Figure 13). The PH domain can temporarily tether phospholipase C to the membrane by attachment mainly to PI(3,4)P2.

3.3.1 Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)
Members of this family of lipid kinases usually have two subunits: one is a catalytic subunit with a lipid kinase domain and the other is a regulatory subunit, which contains two SH2 domains and a SH3 domain (p 85 PI 3-kinase in Figure 13).
Receptors comprise a limited number of structural motifs, which determine binding affinity and specificity of receptor–ligand complexes. Some ligands bind to several receptors and some receptors bind to several ligands.
Acetylcholine is a good example of a ligand with two structurally different kinds of receptor. Nicotinic receptors are ion channels, which are found predominantly in skeletal muscle, and are stimulated by nicotine. Nicotinic

This section discusses these points in more detail and explains how the visual system in primates is able to detect colour.

Most contemporary evolutionary biologists study evolution experimentally using laboratory organisms such as Drosophila or natural systems in the wild. However, 18th and 19th century evolutionary biologists, including Darwin, emphasised the similarities between natural evolution and artificial ' improvement' of livestock under domestication.

To account for its brightness and activity, the Sun must contain a power source. However, the nature of that power source was a great puzzle in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Fossil records and ideas about evolution were beginning to provide firm evidence that the Earth must be at least hundreds of millions of years old, rather than thousands of years as was previously thought, and the Sun must be at least as old as the Earth. The only fuels known at the time were coal, wood, o
3 Introducing the primates
One group of accomplished tree dwellers are the primates – a term you perhaps think of as synonymous with monkeys and apes. Monkeys and some apes display some of the most striking adaptations to tree-living.
250 or so species of primate exist today; most taxonomists group them into 13 families. All share a lengthy list of defining features, mostly related to the following broad categories:

2.5 Tree squirrels
Coevolution also underpins the relationship between many tree squirrels and the trees that house them. The creation of food caches as a 'winter-larder' is mutually beneficial, partly because squirrels are sufficiently profligate in their habits to ensure that many stores are overlooked. Stealing by neighbours is so common that such over-provision may be essential – it's not through forgetfulness or lack of skill; grey squirrels appear able to detect nuts buried as deep as 30 cm below th

What can cause this error?

A: The issue seems to be with your initial guess. If I change your starting values to
x0 = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

Then your code will execute fine (at least on my machine)

Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec  6 2015, 01:54:25) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

A: Scipy's optimize module has lots of options.  See the documentation or this tutorial.  Since you didn't specify the method here, it will use Sequential Least SQuares Programming (SLSQP).  Alternatively, you could use the Trust-Region Constrained Algorithm (trust-const).
For this problem, I found that trust-const seemed much more robust to starting values than SLSQP, handling starting values from [-2,-2,-2] to [10,10,10], although negative initial values resulted in increased iterations, as you'd expect.  Negative values below -2 exceeded the max iterations, although I suspect might still converge if you increased max iterations, although specifying negative values at all for x1 and x3 is kind of silly, of course, I just did it to get a sense of how robust it was to a range of starting values.
The specifications for SLSQP and trust-const are conceptually the same, but the syntax is a little different (in particular, note the use of NonlinearConstraint).
from scipy.optimize import minimize, NonlinearConstraint, SR1

def f(x):
    return math.log(x[0]**2 + 1) + x[1]**4 + x[0]*x[2]

constr_func = lambda x: np.array( [ x[0]**3 - x[1]**2 - 1,
                                    x[0],
                                    x[2] ] )

x0=[0.,0.,0.]

nonlin_con = NonlinearConstraint( constr_func, 0., np.inf )

res = minimize( f, x0, method='trust-constr',
                jac='2-point', hess=SR1(),
                constraints = nonlin_con )

Here are the results, edited for conciseness:
    fun: 0.6931502233468916

      x: array([1.00000063e+00, 8.21427026e-09, 2.40956900e-06])

Note that the function value and x values are the same as in @CoryKramer's answer.  The x array may look superficially different at first glance, but both answers round to [1, 0, 0].


mOcean is a new MP3 digital audio player for the Palm OS from MotionApps, and is optimized for the Treo 650, Palm TX and LifeDrive. It features a touch sensitive scrolling user interface and controls much like the popular Apple iPod. The program also does iTunes synchronization on Windows desktops.
mOcean can be controlled with a on-screen Mini scroll wheel as well as the 5-way navigator. You can create, save and load playlists from your personal music collection stored on an SD memory card. It has 22 preset equalizer settings and you can search for songs by typing in a few letters of the title. It also has background music support and headphone integration that will pause the music when the stereo headphones are disconnected or when the phone rings.
mOcean is available now with a free trial. It costs $19.95 USD to register.
This is the sort of thing I've thought about wanting to develop for a while: a clean, simple interface for navigating around an MP3 collection. Unfortunately, I don't have the low-level multimedia coding skill to do it and, unlike with the WM OS, there's no built in API's for someone like me to make use of.
Anyways, I tried this out and I like it, but it's not perfect. My biggest problem is that one song had some horrible distortion going on, so I'm not sure what was going on there. Hopefully that's a bug fix coming soon.
I think the virtual wheel was implemented very well, but in the end, I'm not sure that it's needed on the Treo. This is the only navigation interface on an iPod, but the Treo already has a 5-way D-pad, volume controls, full QWERTY keyboard, and other buttons. One thing that's cool about the wheel is that you can scroll through lists fast or slow. But since you mainly need to scroll fast when perusing a list of songs, I think the Treo's keyboard works even better for jumping quickly down a list. So, I wouldn't mind seeing a display option with the wheel gone.
I'd also like to see the D-Pad's center button be used for Play/Pause. You can already select a list item by pressing right on the D-Pad.
My point is that these guys obviously have an appreciation for good MP3 UI, but rather than spend so much time trying to make it look, work, and feel exactly like an iPod (and falling a bit short), I'd like to see them evolve the UI further to take advantage of what the Treo uniquely offers and ending up with a UI that's *better* than the iPod's.
So, in addition to what I mentioned above, I'd like to see them change the menu button behavior so that it either acts like a menu button (mainly with menu options for controlling preferences) or maybe jumps you right to a preference screen.
Also, lose the iPod font or make it configurable. There are some other great anti-aliased fonts that would be even better. Maybe let you change the background/text colors as well. Again, I think they're selling themselves short by copying *everything* about the iPod UI.
Wonder what Uncle Stev will think...?
RE: Wonder what Uncle Stev will think...?
especially when they rub salt into the wound by syncing only with the Windows iTunes and NOT the Mac iTunes.
They're almost begging for Apple's lawyers to come knocking on their door!
I doubt it. The fact that it is software that runs on totally different hardware, whose primary purpose is not music/mp3 gives them plenty of legal space. If Apple chose to do anything, they might try to intimidate, but they wouldn't have the kind of strong case lawyers like to have going into the court room. And it's not like they are circumventing AAC's DRM or anything, like when Apple went after RealNetworks.
You're kidding, right? This is exactly the sort of thing Apple goes after. They have a history of attacking shareware apps with a UI that so much as resemble MacOS/iPod. They are constantly going after people who distribute Skins for apps like Winamp, WindowBlinds, DesktopX, WinXP skins, etc. that look like MacOSX widgets.
Apple didn't fare too good when M$ ripped off Mac OS from them.
I'm no lawyer, but AFAIK, if it ain't an EXACT replica in terms of look, feel, and function (wheel only goes through playlists in a different manner; center on the wheel brings up menus for navigation; etc.), then Motion should be fine.
I'm surprised someone hasn't thought up of a touch screen scroll wheel or its equivalent before. Now it's finally here. Mind you I find RealPlayer still sufficient, so I'm gonna stick with that and not shell out $19.95 for the scroll wheel.

My PDAs: Visor --> Visor Neo (blue) --> Zire 71 --> Tungsten T3 (with 4 of 6 screws still remaining) ~?~> zodiac 2?
One of the problems I had with mOcean is that when I switched to another application while music was playing, the music became distorted and began to stutter more noticeably than PocketTunes does. When I attempted to switch back to mOcean to turn the music off, my Palm TX crashed. Well, that stopped the music all right, but it wasn't exactly the fix I was looking for. It did this several times.
Also, under the Help menu item is an option for FAQ. Selecting this item invoked Blazer and a notification that WiFi was currently off (duh) and a query as to whether I wanted to turn it on. Apparently the FAQ being referred to is on the Web. What's with the assumption that everyone has a constant WiFi connection?
I wondered how long it would take the clueless Palm/Windows Mobile software developer community to figure out that desktop jukebox UI is the wrong metaphor for mobile devices when designing media apps. The iPod interface is the correct formula; a menu driven system, with very few graphical aspects. This allows the users to instantly drill down into their playlists instead of the goofy hamfisted approach of Windows Media Player and PocketTunes, both of which copy their desktop cousins.
I haven't yet tried this software myself, but the screenshots depict a much more well thought out UI design, centered around a portable audio player interface. Can't wait to test this out.
Depending on the skin you use, PocketTunes can become a whole lot more usable - I use one of GX5's (Freeform), and it's lovely. I didn't find mOcean to be more useable - maybe 'cause I'm just used to pTunes now - but it is missing a few features, like the pop-up console pTunes uses during background playback.
One thing that pTunes does sorely need is mOcean's "type a few letters to pick a song". The Treo has a keyboard and it's great to see an mp3 app finally taking advantage of it - it's so much quicker than scrolling through a loooong playlist.
In a nutshell: good, but as Scott R said, they shouldn't be so hung up on copying the iPod. I could see this surpassing pTunes if future versions are as innovative.
Very nice looking but functionally poor. If you pause and leave an MP3 track, when you return to it you have to start from the beginning. This is very annoying and very similar to built-in Real Player and unlike Pocket Tunes or TCPMP. Not going to sell just for the looks.
I have been waiting for a Palm MP3 app that implements pitch control (for dj use). The ARM processor should be able to handle the required DSP. Two Tungsten PDAs would be the perfect portable dj platform (music carried on SD cards). Pocket Tunes replied to my inquiry that it was on their feature request list but not high enough to be forthcoming anytime soon.
Just checked out TCPMP and it has speed control of audio (and video) playback but it is too coarse for dj use: needs to be fine like +/-8% not +/-100%. Also TCPMP does not have D-Pad control over the Speed Control. They have an update coming though.
- good sound quality: to my ear, the sound quality is better than ptunes, on par with aeroplayer.
- sync playlists with itunes: this works well, but it seems to use only ID3 V1 tags and itunes defaults to V2... no biggie, just convert the tags in the Treo playlists in itunes to V1 and it works fine.
If they tweak the use of the 5-way a bit, and recognize V2 tags, this will be a great player.
But overall, the way it allows one-handed use, and being able to sync (especially syncing smartlists) with itunes, make this real convenient.


Thermacell Blinds are available as a Smart Rise. This means they are cordless and operate by simply lifting or lowering the blind by hand. This is the perfect solution for increased child safety. Between 20-40 children die every year from strangulation in blind cords so the increased safety of this blind is very important.

New Boosted Board announcement today!
Today ,19/05/2016, Boosted is announcing there new product line. We at Electricboarder are thrilled to find out what these new boards will be capable of! It might also be a good idea too keep Casey Neistat's youtube channel under a close eye, we think they may be up to something… Stay tuned, more info coming soon.


Our garden project has been largely made possible by the wealth of generous people on the island willing and able to donate materials to us. In the last few weeks we have collected a load of great materials for freeeeee (or super-duper cheap!) and we are making smooth progress on the planting as the sun has come out to shine on us.
J met a man at the hardware store and he expressed that we were looking for scrap wood to build raised containers in our yard, and lo-and-behold this guy happens to be building a sustainable home on the island and has a huge pile of off-cuts he has offered to us. He has felled the cedar trees on his lot and had them planed to create the beautiful beams he will use for his home, and the pile above is the left overs from the planing process; amazing cedar planks and scraps he is allowing us to take as we wish. There are some great pieces in here, lots to make benches and retaining walls out of. And it's all local and fresh which is even more amazing, it smells INCREDIBLE.
We've been using them to build a set of stairs and some large planters on the sloped sunny side of the house. Above is a progress shot!
Another great material we have been collecting is pallets! These things are great for gardening, just take a look at these images. We've scored a ton of them from local businesses, and the best part is they are free. They are easy to put into the garden and look great when they are filled with dirt and plants.
We've got some tomato seedlings sprouting and we need to keep them warm in the garden so we went to the GIRO and got some old wood-frame windows to make some mini greenhouses. These bad boys were $1 each and with a bit of a sand and cleaning they should work perfectly. It's been really fun sourcing these materials and finding a way to reuse them in our garden. We really regret not buying a truck though hahaha.

Feature: WUE Program a Boon for WOU Student Population
Lisa Catto Posted on December 13, 2017 2128 views
Western Oregon University has been an active member of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) for more than a decade, but Director of Admissions Rob Findtner still meets students who are unfamiliar with WICHE's most popular program, the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE).
"You can never assume that people know," said Findtner, who, like other members of the Admissions team, travels around the western U.S. telling families about WOU. "You just have to remind people 'We're part of the WUE system.' And the students who do know what it is will often chime in, educating other students about it. That's great when that happens."
The 16 western states and territories that are within the WICHE region can also participate in other programs, such as online-only education offerings, programs for graduate students and exchanges for aspiring health care professionals. But the most popular option for undergraduates is WUE, which last year helped more than 38,000 out-of-state students get discounted tuition, according to the WICHE website.
The premise behind the WUE program is that non-resident students from participating states pay about 150 percent of resident tuition rather than the full non-resident rate. So, at WOU, WUE students pay $12,075 per year compared with non-residents at $23,895. Oregon resident tuition is $8,040.
WICHE comprises Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Utah, Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, Guam and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. Those last two were the most recent additions.
Not every university in WICHE states and territories participates in the WOU program. In Oregon, for example, Oregon State University and University of Oregon have withdrawn from the program. For bigger universities, it makes less financial sense to offer a tuition discount, Findtner said.
"For large campuses, it can be a revenue loser," he explained. "But a campus the size of WOU, it really helps in terms of boosting enrollment and diversifying our student population. It makes life so much easier for families who were looking for schools that have a WUE-friendly policy."
WOU's policy is especially generous, in keeping with the university's core value of making a high-quality education accessible to more students. Not only do WOU students get the special tuition rate, they can also apply for the full range of WOU scholarships and even select the Tuition Promise guaranteed rate plan.
While other schools restrict the major programs that WUE students have access to, WOU does not set such limits. So students who are looking for an education degree, for example, but their in-state institutions don't offer such a program, are welcome at WOU. Some universities also put WUE applicants into a sort of raffle for limited enrollment spots, and others require a higher GPA for out-of-state students. WOU's inclusive offerings are part of its appeal.
"Families could say, 'I'm going to go to the WICHE site and see who has WUE. OK, Western Oregon has it, and every major is available. As long as you are admitted, you get it.' Seems like it's a very friendly WUE approach," Findtner said.
The open-door policy seems to be working. WOU currently has 785 students who pay the WUE tuition rate, which is about 15 percent of the student population. Most are from California, Hawaii and Washington, but there at least a few from most WICHE states. Colorado, in particular, seems to be a growth area. Kristin Mahoney is the Admissions team member who recruits in that state.
"A lot of the Colorado students are ready to travel, ready to go out," Mahoney said. "Colorado parents were interested in the financials, and the students wanted to know which majors qualified for WUE. I get to tell them that all majors were covered, plus they could still apply for scholarships."
Hawaii is another state that has embraced WUE and WOU, largely because high school guidance counselors on the islands are sure to tell students about the program. WOU has by far the highest percentage of students of Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander heritage of any Oregon public university, including the state's three large campuses.
Other Oregon regional schools such as EOU and SOU also participate in WUE. SOU draws heavily from California, especially residents in the northern part of the state. OIT, as one of few polytechnic universities in the Northwest, is a destination for students who want to go into a science field but don't want to pay out-state-tuition at a non-participant school such as OSU or University of Washington.
Whatever the circumstances a student is in, WOU welcomes WUE students with open arms to the benefit of the university.
"WUE gives us somewhat of a competitive advantage when there's a family from Colorado or Wyoming or even Washington that's looked at PSU or OSU or some private schools and they see Western Oregon and see that, not only do we participate in WUE, but out-of-state students are still eligible for merit-based scholarships. We can put together a pretty competitive tuition package," Findtner said.

Do you think New York City (Manhattan) is a busy city?
Yes, New York City is a busy city. You can see that people are busy getting to their destinations, especially the subway.
What do you usually use to travel to places other than walking?
I normally use the subway but if it is somewhere like the airport I use Uber.
Have you been to subway systems outside of the U.S.?
Yes, I am from Taiwan and I've been on the Taipei subway.
What are your opinions of NYC subway?
The subway is really dirty and old. I do not like it at all but it gets me where I need to be.
What is a subway experience that you remember vividly?
Seeing 2 rats chasing each other in the tracks. Some people freaked out seeing that but I just filmed it for the lols.
New York City's subway is under the MTA. What do you think the MTA can do better to improve upon the subway system or do you think it should stay the way it is?
I think the subway needs to have a cleaner environment and the subway needs to upgrade because it is nowhere like the Taiwanese subways. There can be gates for the platforms so people might not accidentally fall down. The safety is very bad here and the order of how people should be let off before people get in is not a thing here.
The interview is made in Steven's dorm. Reviewing Steven's interview, I can noticed the similarities of his opinions on the subway station and how I try to argue for a better subway system. In essence, Steven gave a brief overview of the argument and some of the issues that exist in the subway system. I picked Steven as the interview candidate because in personal relations to him, we ride the subway together a lot and that he would be a good candidate to talk about this subject matter. There is a bias here because he is also from Taiwan.
This interview will help my research because it provides a foreigner perspective to the subway system and how they think will improve the system overall. I believe this interview can be done with two other people (one not from Asia and one from New York). This will help immensely on the development of how people view the subway and what people think is the main problem with the subway system.

One of probably the most typical electrical wiring issues is on how to wire a switch. While utilizing switches in your own home is kind of easy, wiring a person may well not be that uncomplicated for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. There are actually different kinds of switches, but for this instance, let's say that you are putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally typical swap (along with the simplest).
There are actually three colors of wires inside of a common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and link them around the terminal screws - 1 on prime plus the other on the base screw of your swap. The white wire serves like a supply of uninterrupted power and is particularly ordinarily related to your light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the eco-friendly wire for the ground screw of the swap.
These steps would normally be adequate to produce a standard switch do the job with no problem. Nonetheless, when you will not be assured you can attain the task adequately and safely and securely you superior enable the pros do it as an alternative. Following all, there is certainly a rationale why this process is among the most common electrical wiring inquiries requested by plenty of people.
For some purpose, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan can also be considered one of one of the most typical electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this undertaking, you may use one change for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the fan, it can be merely a subject of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan on the black wire in the switch. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire must be linked into the black wire on the swap at the same time.
You'll find good reasons why these are generally essentially the most frequently requested electrical wiring questions. One particular, lots of consider it can be easy to complete, and two, these are typically the common electrical duties in your house. But then you really must not put your basic safety in danger inside your intention to save money. The stakes could even be a lot increased in the event you try and save cash and do an electrical wiring task devoid of adequate understanding or working experience.

Q: Display Product Price WooCommerce with Product Addons Select Box Just wondering if anyone can help me here.
Using Woocommerce Product Add-Ons plugin, is there a way to display the product price in the drop down menu? So if I use product add-ons to create a select box option on a product, is there a way to display the product price inside the select box next to the add-on price that is already displayed?
Tried everything but struggling on this. Here's the code to the select.php im trying to edit.
    <?php
$loop = 0;
$current_value = isset( $_POST['addon-' . sanitize_title( $addon['field-name'] ) ] ) ? wc_clean( $_POST[ 'addon-' . sanitize_title( $addon['field-name'] ) ] ) : '';
?>
<p class="form-row form-row-wide addon-wrap-<?php echo sanitize_title( $addon['field-name'] ); ?>">
    <select class="addon addon-select" name="addon-<?php echo sanitize_title( $addon['field-name'] ); ?>">

        <?php if ( ! isset( $addon['required'] ) ) : ?>
            <option value=""><?php _e('None', 'woocommerce-product-addons'); ?></option>
        <?php else : ?>
            <!--<option value=""><?php _e('Select an option...', 'woocommerce-product-addons'); ?></option>-->
        <?php endif; ?>

        <?php foreach ( $addon['options'] as $i => $option ) :
            $loop ++;
            $price = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_product_addons_option_price',
                $option['price'] > 0 ? ' + ' . wc_price( get_product_addon_price_for_display( $option['price'] ) ) . '' : '',
                $option,
                $i,
                'select'
            );
            ?>
            <option data-raw-price="<?php echo esc_attr( $option['price'] ); ?>" data-price="<?php echo get_product_addon_price_for_display( $option['price'] ); ?>" value="<?php echo sanitize_title( $option['label'] ) . '-' . $loop; ?>" <?php selected( $current_value, sanitize_title( $option['label'] ) . '-' . $loop ); ?>><?php echo wptexturize( $option['label'] ) . $price ?></option>
        <?php endforeach; ?>

    </select>
</p>

So I need to implement this code
<?php echo balanceTags($product->get_price_html()); ?>

Somewhere in the code posted above.
Thanks!

A: Ended up adding in
<option data-raw-price="<?php echo esc_attr( $option['price'] ); ?>" data-price="<?php echo get_product_addon_price_for_display( $option['price'] ); ?>" value="<?php echo sanitize_title( $option['label'] ) . '-' . $loop; ?>" <?php selected( $current_value, sanitize_title( $option['label'] ) . '-' . $loop ); ?>><?php echo wptexturize( $option['label'] . ' (' ); echo balanceTags($product->get_price_html()) . $price ?>)</option>

To the code replacing the options part.
Does the code look alright? Anything wrong that could go there?
