CCU shows students to use new social media apps positively
By Mandy Noell
Published: Feb. 5, 2015 at 9:43 PM EST|Updated: Feb. 6, 2015 at 8:17 AM EST
CONWAY, SC (WMBF) - Coastal Carolina University is showing students how to take apps many consider negative for promoting partying or bullying, and instead use them productively with positive effects. They're doing that by launching initiatives using those very apps.
WiGo is the latest project the social media team at CCU is considering undertaking. The app's CEO told CCU about 25 percent of Coastal students use it, but it's what they're using it for that may cause some universities to stay away from it.
"WiGo is an app, a relatively new app, it stands for 'Who Is Going Out', and it's kind of like a Facebook event, all except it's on your smartphone," says Brent Reser, the Social Media and Online Marketing Coordinator for CCU.
Reser says it's basically a way to RSVP for a party or event. "What you do is create an event and people can decide if they're going to go or not." A simple tap of the smartphone button and the student can say they are going.
"With these types of apps, I think a lot of universities are quick to just strike it down, and count it out," Reser says. "They think 'it's too negative, it's too edgy, we aren't going to give it the time of day'," because it could promote a partying lifestyle. The website for WiGo is largely devoted to going to parties.
Reser says his team is trying to look at it a different way. "We want to investigate these apps from every angle possible, and if we can use it in some way positive, we're gonna jump on it and we're gonna use it," he adds.
So, CCU would create student ambassadors for the app. They would push positive campus events and get as many people to go as possible.
It resembles an effort CCU made before. "Last semester we held a Yik Yak takeover," Reser says. Yik Yak is an app that has been under scrutiny because what you post is anonymous, so it has become an easy way for bullies to target victims.
The university instead had a day promoting Yik Yak to show the opposite effect and demonstrate to students how they should be using it. "We encouraged everyone on campus to just send out positive Yaks over the app Yik Yak for a whole day, and we had a presence out on Prince Lawn." Those who sent a positive message got a promotional item like a tee-shirt or sunglasses.
"If there's a way we can use it, there's a way we can better connect with our students, I'm all for going for it," Reser says.
Students who book events through WiGo can get paid if a certain number of people show up. But it's not mandatory, and CCU says that would not be the case if it uses the app, which is only available to students. On top of that, Reser says it would give the opportunity to enlist the help of students looking for a way to get involved with Coastal's social media department by becoming ambassadors.
There are not concrete plans to use WiGo on campus but it is something that is in the early stages of being worked toward. The university is the app's fourth largest campus presence.

In the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy, many universities are re-examining their school safety and security policies. The policies are as varied as the institutions. It is crucial that such policies are not placeboes, or worse, counterproductive. Universities need policies that will generate safety, not delusions of safety.
Some public schools, such as the University of Akron, require students to declare if they have a criminal record during the application process. The university does a background check on students who acknowledge their criminal records.
Other institutions are likely to adopt similar processes as a result of the call for increased safety. What will schools do with this information? Will it allow them to target students and prevent crimes? That seems unlikely. Virginia Tech was well aware of safety concerns regarding Cho Seung-Hui, but other legal protections prevented them from taking preventive action. Background checks don't appear to fix that situation. However, they do cause a loss of privacy for students.
One of the major differences between public and private colleges is how they are permitted to deal with students. Public schools must follow state guidelines and cannot expel a student unless they severely violate the student code of conduct or commit a serious offense. Private institutions can ask a student to leave, or expel a student even if they do not commit an illegal act.

Club América head into this weekend's match against Necaxa in Auguas Calientes on the heels of one of the more humiliating defeats in club history against Toronto FC in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League semifinal.
In an attempt to add a little bit of flair to the semifinal first leg Miguel "El Piojo" Herrera made several inflammatory comments about the quality of his opponents and the MLS as a whole. These comments were widely broadcasted across all of North America. Herrera's overconfidence in his squad came back to haunt him and he was forced to eat his words after Toronto FC easily dispatched Club América by a score of 3-1.
Las Águilas looked one dimensional for most of the game. It was all too easy for Toronto FC to stifle the visitor's attack. Defensive deficiencies starting with young Carlos Vargas ended up being the doom of of the Mexican side as Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore easily ran circles around the backline.
Things went from bad to worse for Club América as El Piojo chose to further instigate the embarrassing situation by claiming that Toronto police violently attacked his players during an incident heading back to the dressing-room at halftime.
Necaxa come into the match following their biggest achievement since being promoted back to the Liga MX a little over a year ago. Los Rayos defeated Santos Laguna 2-1 at home to advance to the finals of the Copa MX.
Former Club América manager Nacho Ambríz has quietly helped Necaxa become one of the more formidable opponents in Liga MX this season. His Necaxa squad is currently sitting in 10th place of the table with 16 points with a record of 3-7-3. A victory against Club América would be enough to push los Rayos into a liguilla position.
This matchup should see Club América start a rotated lineup in order to ensure that the squad is well rested for their CONCACAF Champions League semifinal match on Tuesday. As a result, this match is going to be much more difficult for the visitors from Mexico City.
Necaxa should look to capitalize on the fact that Club América won't be at completely full strength. Nacho Ambríz could look to use this match as a springboard towards the los Rayos most successful season since earning promotion back to Mexico's top flight of professional fútbol.

A One day hands on training workshop on biosafety and biosecurity was successfully conducted by the Department of Medical Lab Technology, at University of Haripur on 25th November 2018.
The workshop was formally started with recitation from Holy Quran and thenpraise of theProphet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) with a Naat. Dr. Dawood Abbasi welcome the worthy Vice Chancellor, HoD, all faculty members and the participants. The Vice Chancellor throws light on the importance of biosafety and biosecurity in lab and encourage all the organizers for this fruitful effort.
Mr. Abdul Jabbar, Assistant Professor, MLT department then gave detail presentation on the importance of biosafety and biosecurity mainly on how to face any emergency situations, how to dealt with dangerous pathogens and all near misses in any type of clinical or research laboratory.
Beaking method that how to remove the contaminated gloves correctly and discard properly.
In the last, HoD MLT Dr. Sadiq Noor Khan given the concluding remarks and vote of thanks. He added that Biosafety and biosecurity is the most important and integral part in any clinical and research lab but unfortunately it was neglected especially in Pakistan. It need a long struggle to aware all the Technologist, Microbiologist, Researchers and other lab related individuals of this important component. He appreciated the efforts of Mr. Abdul Jabbar and Miss Afshan Saleem along with all other organizers for arranging this successful workshop. He then distributed certificates among the organizers and trainers. Almost 200 participants attended this activity.

A quick, dramatic demonstration to show the pressure of a fixed volume of gas increases with temperature.
Safety screens are needed with the class sitting well back.
Heat-proof gloves should be available for retrieving the lid and the hot tin.
The tin should have a well-fitting, push-in lid.
a Show the tin to contain (or appear to contain) only air before gently pushing in the lid.
b Place on the tripod and then heat using the Bunsen burner until the lid is blown off.
Apart from being dramatic - and thus memorable - this demonstration provides an opportunity to get students thinking about what has happened in terms of molecules.
Help students to understand that as the molecules gain kinetic energy so they move ever faster, hitting the walls of the tin, and its lid, both harder and more often. This means the pressure rises. Pressure rises until it is sufficient to force the lid off.

Are government Web sites in danger?
The U.K. is closing 'unnecessary and expensive' sites. Could U.S. follow suit?
By Kevin McCaney
Government agencies have spent years building Web sites, improving them and striving to put as many services and applications online as possible. Interactive sites with databases of information, a full complement of services and portals to other government sites have become the norm.
But could the other shoe be dropping on Gov 2.0?
The United Kingdom's Cabinet Office has announced a crackdown on U.K. government Web sites, promising to shut down as many as 75 percent of them. Why? They're "unnecessary and expensive," according to the Cabinet Office's June 24 statement.
Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude has ordered a review of the U.K.'s 820 government-funded sites, examining their costs, how much they are used and whether they could share resources with other sites. In addition to shutting down up to three-quarters of them, the government wants the remaining sites to cut costs by as much as 50 percent and consolidate their infrastructures.
The costs of running a Web site can add up. A report by the U.K.'s Central Office for Information (COI) found that, across its government, $140 million has been spent on building and running just 46 Web sites, and nearly $48 million was spent on staff costs for those sites in 2009-10.
The report also surveyed usage and came up with the most expensive sites on a per-visit basis. The U.K. Trade and Investment site, which offers help to businesses looking to export their goods, was the most expensive, clocking in at a whopping $17.56 per visit. Business Link, which offers help for businesses, was next at $3.20. That compares with other sites, which supply simpler services such as access to legislation, that cost pennies per visit. (U.K. Trade and Investment called the report misleading, saying it applied to only 20 percent of its site's transactions and that the system has since been made more efficient).
The report also found that non-government sites that perform government operations, known as Quangos, were competing with official government sites, and the Department for Energy and Climate Change and the Energy Saving Trust bid against each other for Google search terms, which increased their costs.
The U.K. had also announced plans in 2006 to close down government sites, but didn't follow up. Whether this attempt will get results is uncertain.
The U.S. federal government in 2007 had launched the Trusted Internet Connections program to reduce the number of connection between the Internet and federal agencies, but cutting back on the number of Web sites wasn't part of that plan. If the U.K. gets results – trimming costs and eliminating duplicative services – one wonders if the same approach might find its way across the pond.
Of course, not everyone agrees with the U.K. government's approach. Tessa Jowell, the country's former culture secretary, warned of a "false economy," according to the Guardian. "Putting services online is not only more efficient, but often it is cheaper as well," she said. "The measures announced today ... may end up costing the government more money than it is looking to save."
"In the last two years, the Labour government already reviewed 1,795 websites, of which more than 1,000 have already been closed."

Physically, FOTOCAT is an Excel file of UFO and IFO cases where an image has been obtained on photo, film or video. It contains various data columns to register the date, location and country, explanation (if one exists), photographer's name, special photographic features, references, etc. When completed, the full catalog will be posted in internet, for free access from the worldwide UFO community.
- Case number: over the 6,000 mark!
The number of events cataloged at the time of writing is 6,005.
249 cases have been added since the last quarterly report. These were both current and old reports.
FOTOCAT emphasizes data collection for years past more than for the present; additionally, many of current entries come from the same, ad nauseam repetitive sources who take as UFO every single light they videotape in the sky or the effect of every bug or insect in front of their cameras. Also, many so-called anomalous images are due to lens flares and reflections. In sum, most of new cases are simply trash. However, processing and compiling and documenting new cases take a time we cannot allow the luxury to spend. In consequence, I have taken the decision to suspend the entry of new cases since December 31, 2005. FOTOCAT will then cover 1900 to 2005. This will allow me to concentrate on cases from older time frames.
FOTOCAT is an index of basic data to a major document archive. Its purpose is not to become a giant databank like Dave Saunders/Donald Johnson´s UFOCAT or Larry Hatch`s *U* Database, which manage a large volume of parameters. FOTOCAT has only 21 columns to collect what we feel is the minimum information needed to differentiate cases and to record the documentation conditions of our files. Although keeping it simple is fundamental to let it grow rapidly, we have just decided to add another column to retain the (local) Time when the event occurred. But it will be added inasmuch we compile regional catalogs in collaboration with local researchers. This is the case of Argentina. We are enjoying such a valuable help from national ufologists that we have been able to create a huge catalog for this Latin American country, one that reflects an exhaustive view of the history of UFO photography in a way never achieved before.
Also, time has been noted in the reports from Australia. In the future, the hour will be added to every entry in specific regional or national sub-catalogs. At the long run, the whole FOTOCAT will be thoroughly timed.
Catalonian UFO enthusiast and reporter Pedro Cantó has donated some 100 video tapes of TV programs to us. It represents a wide historical set of interviews, debates and presentations in Spain, including some interesting selection of UFO cases where images were recorded, of special value for the FOTOCAT archives.
Some 123 newspaper accounts of photographic events reported in Argentina in the sixties and seventies have been scanned and sent to us in CD by Roberto Enrique Banchs, long-time author and one of the most brilliant UFO researchers in Latin America. With the massive cooperation by Carlos Ferguson and others, we are reaching an unprecedented coverage for Argentina.
Patrick Gross, the French designer of ufologie.net. Ángel Rodriguez, Spanish Navy officer and president of GEIFO group.
The leadership of Anomaly Foundation, Matías Morey, José Ruesga and Julio Arcas, for their continuing support.
Therefore, we have compiled the Australian section of FOTOCAT and will display here the basic statistical information out of it. At the same time, this catalogue is being distributed to local ufologists from the Southern hemisphere for comments and additions.
FOTOCAT Australia as of September 2005 can be consulted by clicking on file (408 kb).
The current number of known reports is 225, or 3.8% of the overall number of cases on record in FOTOCAT. Phenomenology covers from 1935 to 2005.
Waves are visibly clear in the middle of the fifties, late sixties and early seventies, followed by a surprisingly dull decade of the eighties. During the nineties the reports skyrocket and the high level persists –even it raises more- during the first years of the 21st century, probably accelerated by the information explosion of the internet.
A precise hour is known for 126 cases (56%). It is a too low figure, requiring improvement. An imprecise time (day, night, evening, noon) is known for 43 cases more (19%) and time of occurrence is definitely unknown for 56 cases (25%).
The single 60-minute period with a higher rate is from 20 to 21 hours, with 12% of the total; in fact, there is a broad increase in evening and night-time events, from 16 to 24 hours (amounting to 63% of all cases). Also, a second peak appears from 4 to 8 hours (14%).
But if cases are sorted between explained and unexplained, the resulting picture is not identical each other. In this sample, the unexplained events are markedly nightly, with 43 (or 50%) placed in the 18-23 hour interval, while the explained events are less night-time biased, with 16 (or 39%) cases placed in the same time period.
The following statistical graph shows this discrepancy well.
The small size of the sample precludes making serious conclusions about this UFO versus IFO effect.
For 167 cases (74%) there is no explanation proposed by the sources, while the remaining 58 cases (26%) have been solved. If enough investigation would have been carried out on the reported phenomena, probably the actual UFO/IFO percentages would reverse, as the experience elsewhere dictates. In order to improve the quality of the data, we are facilitating this version of the catalogue to a number of Australian organizations and researchers. I hope their input will refine the sample.
Additionally we have 1 case for Papua New Guinea (in the fifties this territory was administered by Australia) as well as 5 more cases where the location is not known.
In 27 cases (12%) the alleged UFO image was found in the picture without anything strange had been observed by the photographer or cameraperson when the film was taken. For 10 of those pictures there is not a solution advance, in spite of the high probability to be spurious images.
In 11 cases (5%) the film was allegedly confiscated by authorities, lost, blank, burned or simply missing . Too much evidence spoiled.
In 3 cases, special sensitivity film or night vision camera were used to record the images.
The name of the photographer is identified (at least in the information source I have collected) in 107 cases (48%) and the cameraperson is unknown to us in another 118 reports (52%). I guess it is an artefact due to poor summarizing in the published information or an over zeal to protect witness identity.
Two individuals have reported having taken a photo, film or video recording of a UFO in more than one occasion, something which may be a doubtful pattern: a Chris Beacham, who took photos in 1963, 1964 and 1965) and a Barry Taylor (UFO researcher) who claims to have obtained UFO images in the last 30 years. This version of the Australian catalogue only gathers 7 of his photograph and footage cases, but he reports to have taken numerous more! A lucky guy indeed.
Juan Carlos Victorio Uranga, a notable Spanish analys of UFO observations, has written specially for our blog an essay devoted to the examination of one of the most classic UFO photos in the phenomenology paranorama in Spain: the Malaga case of March 27, 1974, an event that made headlines and was in the covers of several local and national newspapers at the epoch.
The following pair of takes, published here thanks to the courtesy of the SUR newspaper, represents the kind of enigma under study by Mr Victorio Uranga.
His work, entitled "What was seen in Málaga on the night of 27 March 1974?", can be read complete in its original Spanish version by clicking on article (492 kb).
In the seventies, a number of visually and camera-recorded UFO sightings were produced in the Portuguese and Spanish territories in the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the dates where photographs were achieved were November 22, 1974 (Madeira islands) and June 22, 1976 and March 5, 1979 (11 different series of pictures) in the Canary islands. A paper by Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos and Ricardo Campo Pérez covering this subject has been published in the latest issue of the International UFO Reporter (J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies). Entitled "Navy Missile Tests and the Canary Islands UFOs", it can be found in IUR, Vol 29, No 4, cover and pages 3 to 9 and 26 (CUFOS, 2457 West Peterson Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60659, USA).
A French version of this paper ("Les Essais de Missiles de la Marine U.S. et les Observations d'OVNI aux Isles Canaries"), can be read in La Gazette Fortéenne, Vol. I, August 2002, pp. 229-246.
- Número de casos: ¡superamos la cifra de 6.000!
A fecha de hoy, el número de informes censados por FOTOCAT asciende a 6.005, lo que supone un incremento de 249 casos desde el pasado informe trimestral. Son casos tanto actuales como antiguos.
FOTOCAT pone énfasis en la adquisición de casos históricos, más que corrientes; además, muchos de los nuevos registros proceden ad nauseam de las mismas fuentes repetitivas que toman como ovni cualquier luz que graban en el cielo, o el efecto de cualquier insecto o pájaro que se cruza delante de sus videocámaras. Sin olvidar tantos reflejos producidos en las lentes. En suma, la mayoría de los nuevos casos son simplemente basura. Sin embargo, recopilar, archivar y procesar esa información consume un tiempo que no podemos permitirnos el lujo de perder. En consecuencia, he tomado la decisión de suspender la entrada de casos nuevos desde el 31 de diciembre de 2005. FOTOCAT cubrirá el periodo 1900 a 2005. Esto me permitirá concentrarme en ingresar informes de años pasados.
FOTOCAT es un índice de datos elementales de un importante archivo de documentación. Su propósito no es convertirse en una base de datos como el UFOCAT de Dave Saunders /Donald Johnson ni como la base de datos OVNI *U* de Larry Hatch, que gestionan un enorme número de parámetros. FOTOCAT tiene sólo 21 columnas para registrar la información mínima precisa para diferenciar los casos y para anotar las condiciones de la documentación de nuestros archivos. Aunque mantenerlo simple es fundamental para su rápido crecimiento, hemos decidido añadir una columna más para retener el dato de la hora local del suceso. Pero se añadirá en tanto en cuanto halla compilado catálogos regionales en colaboración con investigadores locales. Este es el caso de Argentina. Estamos disfrutando de tan valiosa ayuda de estudiosos nacionales que hemos logrado crear un inmenso catálogo para este país hermano, que refleja exhaustivamente la historia del fenómeno ovni en su vertiente fotográfica como jamás antes se ha conseguido.
También hemos añadido el dato horario para los casos de Australia. En el proceso final de definir el catálogo argentino se establecerá la hora de cada avistamiento. Esto lo haremos también para cada futuro catálogo regional o nacional. Y a la larga, todo el FOTOCAT estará debidamente datado.
El periodista ufológico catalán Pedro Cantó nos ha donado unas 100 cintas de video de programas de televisión. Representa una amplia visión histórica de entrevistas, debates y presentaciones en España, incluyendo una interesante selección de casos ovni en los que se grabaron imágenes, de especial valor para los archivos FOTOCAT.
Nada menos que 123 recortes de prensa sobre casos ovni fotográficos en Argentina en las décadas de los sesenta y setenta nos han sido copiados en un CD y remitidos por Roberto Enrique Banchs, destacado autor y uno de los más brillantes investigadores de Latinoamérica. Con la masiva ayuda de Carlos Ferguson, entre otros, estamos alcanzando una cobertura sin precedetes para Argentina.
Patrick Gross, diseñador francés de la web ufologie.net. Ángel Rodriguez, suboficial de la Marina y presidente del grupo GEIFO.
El liderazgo de la Fundación Anomalía, Matías Morey, José Ruesga y Julio Arcas, por su continuado apoyo.
Por consiguiente, hemos decidido aislar la sección Australia de FOTOCAT y vamos a desplegar su información estadística básica. Al mismo tiempo, estamos enviando este catálogo a diversos ufólogos y organizaciones del país para sus comentarios y adiciones.
El número actual de casos conocidos es de 225, lo que representa el 3.8% del total de casos anotados en FOTOCAT. La fenomenología cubre desde 1935 a 2005.
Hay "oleadas" claramente visibles a mitad de los cincuenta, a final de los sesenta y al principio de los setenta, seguidos por una década de los ochenta sorprendentemente vacía. Durante los noventa, el número de informes se dispara y el alto nivel persiste –incluso crece más- durante los primeros años del siglo 21, probablemente acelerado por la explosión de información de Internet.
Se conoce la hora exacta en 126 casos (56%). Nos resulta una cifra muy baja y esperamos una mejora de ese nivel de datos. Una hora imprecisa (día, noche, tarde, mediodía) la conocemos en otros 43 casos (19%) y la hora del suceso se desconoce completamente en 56 casos (25%).
El periodo de 60 minutos con mayor número de casos es el que va de las 20 a las 21 horas, con un 12% del total. De hecho, hay un amplio incremento de la frecuencia de casos en la tarde y noche, de las 16 a las 24 horas, que supone el 63% de la totalidad. Asimismo se observa una cresta secundaria de las 4 a las 8 de la mañana (14%).
Pero cuando los casos se separan entre inexplicados y explicados, lo que resulta no es tan idéntico entre sí. En esta muestra, los sucesos inexplicados son marcadamente nocturnos, con 43 (o 50%) situados en el intervalo 18 a 23 horas, mientras que los casos explicados tienen una menor orientación nocturna, con 16 (o 39%) casos situados en ese mismo intervalo.
El pequeño tamaño del muestreo evita establecer conclusiones serias sobre este efecto OVNI versus OVI.
Para 167 casos (74%) no hay ninguna solución propuesta en las fuentes consultadas, mientras que 58 casos (26%) se han resuelto. Si se hubiera llevado a cabo una investigación de campo suficiente, probablemente esos porcentajes se revertirían, de acuerdo con lo que dicta la experiencia de análisis universal. Con la finalidad de mejorar la calidad de los datos, estamos facilitando copias del catálogo Australia a varios investigadores y organizaciones australianas. Espero que su respuesta ayude a refinar la muestra..
Adicionalmente tenemos 1 caso de Papúa Nueva Guinea (territorio administrado por Australia en los cincuenta) y otros 5 casos más sin que se conozca la localización exacta.
En 27 casos (12%) la supuesta imagen ovni se halló en la fotografía sin mediar observación visual de fenómeno extraño ninguno. Para 10 de esas fotos no se postula ninguna explicación, a pesar de que exista una alta probabilidad de que se trate solamente de imágenes espurias.
En 11 casos (5%) la película fue supuestamente confiscada por las autoridades, se perdió, salió en blanco o se quemó. Demasiada evidencia echada a perder.
En 3 casos, se usó película de especial sensibilidad o cámara de visión nocturna para registrar las imágenes.
El nombre del fotógrafo está identificado (al menos en la fuente de información que poseo) en 107 casos (48%), mientras que el testigo que sacó las imágenes resulta desconocido en otros 118 informes (52%). Espero que se trate de un artificio debido a que los resúmenes de casos publicados no hayan sido lo completos que debieran o bien se deba a un exceso de celo para proteger la identidad de los testigos.
Dos personas aparecen como responsables de la toma de fotos ovni en más de una ocasión, lo que nos resulta un patrón sospechoso. Chris Beacham, que hizo fotos en 1963, 1964 y 1965, y el ufólogo Barry Taylor, que afirma haber obtenido imágenes ovni en numerosas oportunidades en los últimos 30 años. Nuestra versión del catálogo de Australia sólo recoge, sin embargo, 7 de sus casos. ¡Un tipo con suerte!
Juan Carlos Victorio Uranga, reconocido analista vasco de observaciones ovni, ha escrito especialmente para nuestro blog un ensayo dedicado al examen de una de las fotografías más del clásicas de la casuística ovni en España: el caso del 27/3/74 en Málaga, que fue acogido en portada tanto en diarios locales como nacionales.
El siguiente par de tomas, publicadas aquí gracias a la cortesía del diario SUR, representan el enigma que ha sido estudiado por Victorio Uranga.
En los años setenta, varias observaciones ovni, tanto oculares como fotográficas, se produjeron en los territorios atlánticos de España y Portugal. Algunas de las fechas en que se consiguieron fotos fueron el 22 de noviembre de 1974 en las islas Madeira y 22 de junio de 1976 y 5 de marzo de 1979 (11 series de fotografías conocidas) en las islas Canarias. Un ensayo firmado por Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos y Ricardo Campo Pérez dedicado a estos avistamientos se ha publicado en el último número del International UFO Reporter (J.Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies). Titulado "Navy Missile Tests and the Canary Islands UFOs", puede leerse en inglés en IUR, Volumen 29, Número 4, portada y páginas de la 3 a la 9 y 26 (CUFOS, 2457 West Peterson Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60659, USA).
Una traducción en francés de este artículo ("Les Essais de Missiles de la Marine U.S. et les Observations d'OVNI aux Isles Canaries"), se publicó en La Gazette Fortéenne, Vol. I, agosto de 2002, páginas 229-246.

NACS News Finding Amazing Gas Station Food
Finding Amazing Gas Station Food
Stafford Shurden hosts a video series spotlighting the best gas station and c-store food in the South.
By Sara Counihan
ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Stafford Shurden eats really good food at gas stations. The farmer, restaurant owner and creator and co-host of a video series called Gas Station Tailgate Review documents his travels throughout the South as he tries delicious and authentic food at local gas stations and c-stores.
"I think the beauty of it is people don't expect it, and especially the small towns. The people from there love to see their hometown on Facebook or YouTube or wherever I put it," said Shurden on this week's NACS Convenience Matters podcast episode.
Shurden says the trick to finding these amazing food spots is simply word of mouth through social media.
"All of these people are in this community of people who love gas station food, and they're like 'If you like that burger, you need to try this place,'" he said. "And so, 90% of the reviews I do today are from word of mouth through social media."
Shurden talks about how a recent trip to a Valero station prompted Shurden to say on social media how the visit to this particular gas station made him question everything he knows about food. He said the gas station used fresh, local, raw ingredients prepared by a real chef.
"Most of what you see is the plate lunches, the fried chicken … and then you get in this place and it's like something that should be on the cover of a magazine. This guy layers his flavors," he said.
Shurden explains that a lot of gas stations in the South will do all their cooking in the morning, and then they have an empty kitchen the rest of the day. The owner of the Valero station decided to let a chef into the empty kitchen and "do his thing," said Shurden.
"You go in any five-star restaurant, the equipment's basically the same stuff. The only difference is ingredients and talent," he said. "There's nothing stopping some of these c-stores from doing something very similar to that."
Shurden says he is honest about his reviews, and he goes with his gut reaction when he talks about what he's eating.
"I don't even think about it. I just eat it and whatever comes out of my mouth comes out of my mouth, he said. "There's no editor. It's just me. So, what you see is what you get."
Tune into this week's Convenience Matters podcast episode No. 351 "Small Towns With Big Food Finds," to find out what Shurden thinks of the Vietnamese food scene at gas stations, the beauty of an iconic old country store and how Eli and/or Peyton Manning just might appear on his video series.

Q: DolphinDB Error: The input argument must be a vector, tuple, matrix, or table I got this error when inserting a single record to a DFS table: The input argument must be a vector, tuple, matrix, or table.
How to add a single record to an existing DFS table? I've tried append! and  tableInsert, which only worked when inserting multiple records.
Here, I successfully inserted 2 records.
borrow_enabled = 1b 1b
repay_enabled = 1b 1b
status = 0 0
t = table (timestamp, uid, symbol)
dfsTable.append!(t)

But I got the error when there's only 1 record. The code is shown in the screenshot below:
transferin_enabled = 1b
transferout_enabled = 1b
borrow_enabled = 1b
repay_enabled = 1b
status = 0
t = table (timestamp, uid, symbol)
dfsTable.append!(t)

The error "The input argument must be a vector, tuple, matrix, or table" took place when creating the table. Is there anything I missed?

A: I don't think this issue has anything to do with DFS tables in particular. It's about how you created the table: repay_enabled = 1b
Here repay_enabled is still a scalar. It should be:
repay_enabled = [1b]
Same with the other columns.

Q: When is $\int_1^\infty \frac{x+\sqrt{x+\ln(x+2)}}{(x^a+\cos x)^{1/3}}\,\mathrm{d}x$ finite? How do I solve the following problem?

For which of the following values of $a$ is the integral
  $$
 \int_1^\infty \frac{x+\sqrt{x+\ln(x+2)}}{(x^a+\cos x)^{1/3}}\,\mathrm dx
$$
  finite?
  $$
 a < 9/2, \quad
 a > 6, \quad
 a > 9/2, \quad
 a < 6.
$$

A: I would say $a>6$. The numerator
$$
x+\sqrt{x+\ln(x+2)}\sim x\qquad\mbox{ as }x\to +\infty
$$
while the denominator
$$
(x^a+\cos x)^{1/3}\sim x^{a/3}\qquad\mbox{ as }x\to +\infty\ .
$$
Hence the ratio
$$
\frac{x+\sqrt{x+\ln(x+2)}}{(x^a+\cos x)^{1/3}}\sim \frac{1}{x^{a/3-1}}\ .
$$
To ensure convergence at infinity, we need to impose
$$
a/3-1 >1\Rightarrow a>6\ .
$$

Q: Cannot find module 'react-redux' I am using webpack to put my codebase together and I continue to get the error message "Cannot find module 'react-redux'".
I have checked my node-modules folder and it is indeed in there. My code is the correct spelling. I have already deleted my entire node modules folder and reinstalled them.
I've even gone so far as to install react-redux (and necessarily, both react and redux individually) globally. I'm not sure what I thought this would accomplish, but at this point I am desperate.
If any other information/code is relevant, just leave a comment, I'll be watching this all day (11.14.16)

Last minute changes to our lectures this week
10th November 2019 | Categories: Lecture, Up and coming events
Unfortunately Dr Batey is unable to deliver her lectures on Monday and Tuesday evenings. While we have had to cancel our Shetland event on Tuesday, the Monday evening event will be going ahead as usual, with a changed line-up of speakers. Several early career researchers have very generously stepped in at late notice to give us a flavour of current and recent Viking research:
Chris Cooijmans: "Abandon Ship: Examining Viking Encampment across Continental Europe"
Like any other early medieval mariner, vikings venturing across the Frankish waterways would not have been perpetually on the move. As hunger and fatigue may have induced individuals to make landfall, so too would overarching requirements for Scandinavian fleets to take on armaments and supplies, carry out repairs, exchange intelligence, or settle down for the winter. Accordingly, over the course of the ninth and early tenth centuries, the existence of dozens of continental viking encampments is alluded to by various (near-)contemporary Frankish authors, many of whom saw fit to disclose valuable details on the size, layout, and intramural activity of these riverside fortifications. Even so, relatively little scholarly research has thus far ventured beyond a cursory glance or comparative affirmation in dealing with them. By reassessing the functional development of Scandinavian encampment around the Frankish realm, this paper affirms that these outposts represented much more than mere docile hideouts to intersperse bouts of conflict: whilst providing the fundamental benefits of protection, provision, rest, and repair, they likewise came to support viking hosts as versatile stations of assembly, withdrawal, production, and exchange – representing a mainstay for the sustained viability of the viking phenomenon across the European mainland.
Chris Cooijmans is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities in Edinburgh. Having recently obtained his doctorate from the University of Edinburgh, his research reconsiders the reach and repercussions of viking activity across the Frankish realm. His upcoming book on the topic, Monarchs and Hydrarchs, is due to be published with Routledge in early 2020. At the same time, Chris will also take up a British Academy Research Fellowship at the University of Liverpool, dealing with the historiography of the vikings in the late medieval Low Countries.
Megan Kasten: "Revealing the Govan Stones"
Dr Megan Kasten has recently completed her PhD in Archaeology, and was supervised jointly by Prof Stephen Driscoll of the University of Glasgow and Dr Stuart Jeffrey of the Glasgow School of Art: School of Simulation and Visualisation. Her research focuses primarily on the use of digital imaging technologies, including photogrammetry and RTI, in the analysis of early medieval sculpture.
Michelle Hay: "Identifying disease in the Viking World"
My research focuses on identifying vector-borne disease in the Viking world. I am specifically interested in Yersinia variant strains, associated disease ecology and subsequent effects on Viking society. Through the development of a more efficient protocol I aim to explore the possibilities of accessing information contained within sub-fossils with sub-optimal preservation. This exploratory research may deliver useful and important insights into the Viking world.
Orla Craig: "Landscapes of the Galloway Hoard"
Orla completed her undergraduate degree in Archaeology and masters in Celtic and Viking archaeology at the University of Glasgow. She then worked at GUARD archaeology for two years before returning to do her PhD in the archaeological, landscape and historical context of the Galloway Hoard.
There will be an opportunity as usual for Q&A with all the participants at the end of the presentations.
Apologies for the late notice, and we hope that this does not inconvenience you at all. We extend our thanks to the presenters for stepping in so late notice!

Rug Fragments as ArtThere are passages in all art that can exist independently as a meaningful aesthetic, functioning separately from the complete work they once belonged to. In these frames we see pieces from archaic rugs, fragments from their mother rug, which had over time been destroyed. Occasionally areas of these old surviving pieces can exist on their own, and still express spirituality, decoration, a sense of magic and what it means to live in a timeless culture. The events that have defined all human life are symbolically addressed here: giving birth, raising a family, tending to animals, accepting the inevitability of death and the absolute belief in the existence of an immutable godhead. These fragments express all that we look for in an art object: beauty, honesty and mastery of craft. These humble fragments establish a life of their own, one that takes us directly without distraction to the essence of rug art.
Oriental rugs can be fascinating, and beautiful objects. At times they transcend the mundanity of floor coverings and reach into the elusive emotional atmosphere of art.
Whatever aesthetic they are grounded in – contemporary, tribal, transitional or urban workshop, the best examples change the rules of the modern interior space. This is the transformation we at Basil Scaljon Rugs seek to affect in the homes of our clients, an essence of harmony and balance that is inherent in the most visually nourishing modern and antique oriental rugs.
I am equally comfortable in the areas of both collectable antique rugs as well as the best of modern decorative carpets. I am fueled by the absolute conviction that handmade carpets are potentially an art form and articulate the soul of a room. For over 30 years this belief, that good interior design demands enlightened objects, has been the driving principle in my business.

On 11th March 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake (also known as "311 Earthquake") happened.
Thirty minutes after the magnitude-9 earthquake, monstrous tsunami waves crashed into the whole region of the Tohoku shores. Many towns were destroyed and the death toll and number of missing people went beyond 20,000 at one point.
The author of this book, Misukoso, watched the disaster unfold on television news and became deeply emotional by these sorrowful events. These comics are the author's interpretation of the events based on true stories of the survivors and victims extracted from the local news.
A dog who wouldn't separate itself from its owner even when the tsunami approached... and many more.
The book consisted of nine short stories and an essay column.
The title of the book "Field of Cole" was derived from the author's experience when she went volunteering at a disaster site. Soon after the author uploaded a few of these comics on her blog, they became widely talked about over Twitter. Follow @misukoso (Tweets in Japanese).
More than 30,000 people read the comics and were moved to tears reading these comics which got published in Japan later. Then, six months after the earthquake, the series of comics were published in Japan in a book form.
As a condition for publishing the book, the author asked the publisher that all her royalties from the book be donated to the disaster victims and the book be translated into English and distributed as an e-book, so that people all around the world will have the opportunity to know more about people affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and their experiences.
We hope this comic e-book will help the readers think about and remember the people in Tohoku, who are toiling in the long process of recovery.
Misukoso was born in Niigata prefecture. After graduating from the Faculty of Policy Management of Keio University, worked for a while, and went back to school doing her Waseda University Graduate School of Accountancy.
As she describes herself on her Twitter profile (@misukoso), "会計系の大学院生。自意識をこじらせたオタク。著書「いつか、菜の花畑で」(扶桑社)。生い立ちについては、このページを御覧下さい。"

Rail Terminals in China
One of the most dynamically developing branches of logistics on imports from China is rail transport. Many people say that this is the best method of transportation. It is shorter than sea transport, and it is cheaper than air transport. Where are the rail terminals in China? Which one is the best? We invite you to familiarize yourself with the infographics presented by us and short descriptions of major railway terminals.
Chengdu Rail Terminal
This is the most important terminal in China, also considered as the most reliable. It is terminal, financed by the Chinese government. It's part of the New Silk Road. Currently, trains to and from Chengdu leave every day and everything points that the number will instantly grow. Trains from Chengdu to Lodz have been arriving since 2013. In 2015, they opened regular railways connections between these cities. The train travels this route in two weeks. They invested several hundred million dollars in the terminal in Chengdu. This year, the total number of trains from Chengdu to Europe increased by 1,000. The city has fourteen rail routes.
Wuhan Rail Terminal – Rail Terminals in China
This is one of the main railway terminals located in China. Similarly to the terminal in Chengdu, the terminal in Wuhan is also paid for by the Chinese government. It is considered one of the most reliable terminals. Wuhan also has a railway connection with Lodz. Overcoming the route takes 15 days and runs through the central and north-eastern areas of China. Most of the transported content is the products of the well-known Foxconn company. Because of that the importance and prestige of the city, which becomes a potential place for the location of production for international corporations, increases.

It's an international railway terminal, aimed at increasing trade between China and Europe. It's planned to have more trains arrived. The terminal is equipped with the necessary equipment and machines. It's an important place for the 'One Belt and One Road' initiative due to the multimodal transport infrastructure.

Chongqing Rail Terminal – Rail Terminals
A railway line leading to Duisburg in Germany leaves from the Chongqing terminal. The road passes through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, and Poland.

When I found out that my nephew had decided to celebrate his birthday with a viewing of Pixar's newest movie, Inside Out, I was stoked. Which character would he want his aunt (aka – me) to make for his cake? I was secretly hoping that it would be Anger. Not only because I have a soft spot for the heated little fellow (he reminds me so much of my youngest son), but I felt like I could have the most fun creating this one.
It was easy to create a story that would suit his demeanour. Anger was about to eat his piece of birthday cake when the plate fell, sending his delicious confection plummeting to the floor. Who couldn't relate to something like that?
Anger is made of dark chocolate cake, filled with dark chocolate buttercream and is covered in fondant over chocolate ganache. His flames are made of wafer paper (which the kids LOVED eating).
My favourite details in this cake have to be his tie and his tweed pants. Out of all the Inside Out characters, Anger is my favourite (with Sadness and Disgust coming in a tie for second). He's spunky, hilarious and dresses like Dwight from the Office.
If you haven't had a chance to watch Inside Out yet, I'd highly recommend it. If you are a parent of small-ish children, bring a box of kleenex. You are going to bawl!
You will not be disappointed with this easy-going, friendly and highly talented cake designer!
