With this release, Premium members can now copy a "public" or "shareable" List to their owned Lists on Geocaching.com. Lists labeled as "private" cannot be copied. Once a list is copied, you can access it from both the Geocaching® app and website.
You can access public and shareable Lists from a player's public profile or from cache details pages on the right hand side under "Bookmark Lists." Additionally, if a player shares a list with you, you can now add it to your owned lists. Lists you own can be found on your Dashboard under "Your lists" on the left side menu.
Dave W. (HiddenGnome) from HQ's Web Team is watching this thread to answer questions whenever possible.
I just tried this on a couple of lists, and it worked as advertised. I like how it also copies customized names and comments.
The one thing that seems to be missing is the list's description. That doesn't appear to get copied over. Sometimes there can be important and/or useful information in there, so it would be nice if that could be copied too.
Otherwise, this looks like a good feature.
I would find this feature very useful if I could make a copy of one of my own lists, but for some reason that isn't allowed.
I agree with The A-Team that "I like how it also copies customized names and comments".
The custom names and the comments under each cache are crucial, so I'm glad they are copied over. I assume that's possible because Viewing a list has not been redesigned. I certainly hope that comments are retained when/if the View List page is redesigned.
I also agree with The A-Team's comment that "The one thing that seems to be missing is the list's description."
The Description field for a bookmark list can contain explanatory info of what the list represents. More info than can be included in the list name. I assume that data isn't copied over because the List page was redesigned, and that redesigned page doesn't show the Description field? I still default to using the "old" version of the Lists page, mainly because of the lack of Description and the sorting.
Overall, I'm glad to see this feature has been added. Thank you!
Now, I'm just waiting for the ability to copy/move caches from one list to another. I have a lot of Lists to clean-up, but I'm not looking forward to having to manually add each cache to another list and then delete those caches from the original list.
That's a pretty ugly workaround though.
I still use the old Lists page too due to the lack of user-friendliness and missing features (e.g. create a new list) on the new page, so I hadn't noticed that descriptions weren't there anymore. I'm trying to go there now to look at this, but unfortunately the My Lists list won't populate right now. It would be nice if the new Lists page could be made to be more reliable.
I was going to point out that approach in my original post, but I started laughing too hard, so I left it out. I was even going to talk about creating a sockpuppet account to do it by myself...except lists are a premium feature, so I'd have to pay for my sockpuppet.
View the other List and click "Create Pocket Query".
Schedule that PQ to run.
View that PQ on the map using the official app (Lists --> View on Map).
Zoom out a bit, select "Add all to List", and create a new list.
No need for a second account, but does require using both the website and official app.
I like your ideas there Hans. I totally agree that Lists should have to same interface as the search results. And it would be fantastic if you could view a list on a map.
Actually I don't have a need to copy over all the "archived" and "found by me" caches. Copying the list in a 1:1 manner is not very smart and renders this "feature" useless to me.
I haven't tried the new feature but that is someone that I requested a long time ago. Specifically, I don't want to copy an entire list to another new list, but want to be able to select caches from a list then bulk copy (or move) them to another list.
That would be doable if the advanced search functionality could show results from a bookmark list (or the bookmarklist view would use that result list functionality).
2. or if you could select one of your lists as an additional search filter option?
But yeah I think the main request here is in the 'old' bookmark list page a button beside bulk delete called bulk copy would let you copy select items from the viewed bookmark list (any viewable list) to one of your own.
Example is one of your list: "Challenges - Qualified (shared, public)"
Ooh, well if that works for any public list, then that's a great [workaround] way to copy from one list to another selectively. Just need to construct the url properly. Nice!
Yes. I do it with the help of a GSAK macro. ;-) This will also let me filter the BM list (say you only want the traditional caches with D3/T3 - you name it).
That's a helpful workaround - thanks for that!
I copied a list but cannot find it a any where ????
I copied a list but cannot find it a anywhere.
I know where my list are. I copied one to share. But it is not showing up on my profile.
Try clicking the option at the top of that page to switch to the old format. I seem to recall some members having issues with new lists not showing up on the new page, but showing up fine on the old page.
I had been hoping that #2 would be added to the PQ page and posted the following mock-up somewhere in this forum last fall. Can't find the post now, but still have the image saved to my cpu. It would be great if a similar functionality could be used with the Advanced Search feature.
It would be great to be able to use a bookmark list as a base population, that could be filtered further. Without having to employ URL workarounds. Even being able to exclude Disabled caches from a list. That was my biggest pet peeve that prompted me to create the PQ mock-up. I load my solved puzzle list as a Bookmark List PQ, but that downloads all caches in the Bookmark List, even if they are disabled/archived. I'd like to be able to select the Bookmark List as my starting pop, then exclude disabled/archived, rather than having to delete the disabled/archived caches from the list entirely.
Would it be possible to have additional functionality to copy the contents of one list (including custom names and comments) to another existing list of the same user? In other words: to be able to merge lists.
Is it a plan to extend this sort of functionality into the API?
Hello everyone! Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas and feedback. We are in the process of reviewing the ideas in order to continue adding incremental updates to the Lists functionality.
It would be sweet if the HQ might consider to add a "RemoveGeocachesFromBookmarkList" to the Api.
Love the sharing of lists. However, when I share a list of solved puzzles the solution and new coords do not transfer to the person that I am sharing the list with.
I can only hope that it's by design.
It wouldn't make sense to "give" corrected coordinates to anyone who can see your list (shared or public).
[...] when I share a list of solved puzzles the solution and new coords do not transfer to the person that I am sharing the list with.
That's as expected. You are just sharing a list of codes - not the content (corrected coords etc.) itself. BM lists are just like links to the caches. If a recipient opens a cachepage from the BM list he will open it as he would do from the cache page. Youll have to create a GPX file to give away puzzle solutions.
Thanks for the info. Now I know what I need to do.
Thanks again and Happy Caching.

Creating a Gpx file by himself (with the help of BaseCamp, MapSource, GSAK, etc. ....) is not covered by the ToU.

Finally, someone put a Greggs in Far Cry 5
(embed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=112TZpgluCk (/ embed)
Fighting pseudo-religious cults is a hungry job, especially when Montana lacks a supply of cheap sausage rolls. Fortunately, a Far Cry 5 mapper has brought Greggs, a British commodity, to Ubisoft's open world cult center.
Greggs, for our non-British readers, is a ubiquitous bakery chain here at Blighty. After bringing a block of sad flats to Far Cry 5, Edinburgh-based mapper Mojo Swoptops decided to recreate the sandwich shop with the shocking and deeply impactful map editor.
It's also an alarmingly good facsimile. Yes, the font is a bit off and the shelves are full of burgers and fruit baskets upside down, but from a distance the vibes are immaculate: the warm glow of a 3-pound roll of coffee and sausage which illuminates an otherwise sad Scottish street. There is a reassuring quality of watching him slowly clear the shelves, upholster the floors and place a delicious seagull next to the trash.
Mojo has some more exciting versions on his YouTube channel. But it is these worlds that I like the most, especially when it comes to my own hometown. Capturing the stained piss scene of the Cowgate on a Friday night, the apocalyptic chaos of a Parking Tesco. By order of Alice O'Connor of Rock Paper Shotgun (Edinburgh's companion and my old boss), Mojo even recreated himself. Leith Monolithic Banana Flats.
Unfortunately, Far Cry 6 will be the first in the series to get rid of these mapping tools, leaving Arcade completely. At the very least, though, I'm sure Gregg won't call Mojo's attention with a copyright withdrawal soon.
Wow! Finally you can pretend to put on your socks

Stay the course, the ONLY way to deliver change to Region One right now is thru the ballot box Reply
Stay the course, the ONLY way to deliver change to Region One right now is thru the ballot box. Now, with the referendum, and in November with the local elections. This is a two-step process. If the board and administration are not willing to come to the table, this is our only viable option. Please spread the word, invite friends to join, let's get hundreds of people in Region One to say…enough is enough. Three votes, three rejections, two lawsuits, a board that is isolated from the taxpayers it serves, a committee of local board chairmen as isolated and removed from the public as the regional board.Vote NO July 23

Vote NO Region 1 Budget July 23
As they say in tennis…..game, set, match ( 7000 series). Reply
The policy says on page 4, under the heading "Governing Body":
"The governing body of the Regional School Services Center ["central office"] is the Regional School District Number 1 Board of Education (the "Regional Board"), in accordance with Section 2 of Special Act 405 of the 1959 session of the Connecticut General Assembly. The Regional Board shall receive and may act on the recommendation of the All Boards Chairs (ABC) Committee, an advisory committee to the Regional Board, in all matters affecting the Regional School Services Center."
My letter to the editor to the Lakeville Journal, The Republican-American, and The Litchfield County Times 5
As a final insult to taxpayers in Region 1 on the eve of the fourth attempt to pass a Region 1 budget, it has become public knowledge that Diane Goncalves, assistant superintendent of schools, has filed a lawsuit against Falls Village Region 1 representative Gale Toensing.
If ever there was needed proof of why this budget MUST be defeated again, and again and again until the situation with the administrative contracts is worked out, this is the straw that broke the camel's back.
For voters "on the fence," or deciding why to vote NO, please ponder these recent events:
Despite being informed by taxpayers from the very first budget hearing that the administrative salaries are a problem, the former board chairman, Phil Hart, and the current board chairman, Jonathan Moore, continued to ignore taxpayers' requests. They were so brazen they even scheduled a special meeting of the board to be held after the first vote because they knew they were sending a budget that would be defeated.
Now three votes later, and a new board chairman later, they still refuse to listen to the public's concern, "It's not the total dollars, it's the administrative contracts."
The former board chairman, Phil Hart, lied on audio tape about knowledge of the suit against the superintendent. He has since resigned the chair but still serves on the board.
Lucille Paige, executive secretary to Patricia Chamberlain, superintendent, filed a lawsuit against the superintendent claiming retaliation against her testimony during the Pingpank Report. Please watch the unedited video of the last board meeting on the CATV 6 YouTube page to see a board with no ideas, no leadership, and no intention of doing anything more than re submitting the EXACT same budget that was just crushed at the polls.
And now this lawsuit … .
Three votes, three rejections, two lawsuits, a board that is isolated from the taxpayers it serves, a committee of local board chairmen as isolated and removed from the public as the regional board, a shrinking student population, static academic achievement, a report (Pingpank) authorized by the board and ignored … and a new contract for administrators calling for around ONE MILLION DOLLARS over the next three years.
This administration, and the administration's majority block on the board, need to be replaced. Voting no on the budget will allow the district to continue to operate on the same budget as last year and keep the new administrative contract from being finalized. Then, replace board members in November. This is the only option for taxpayers as the majority block on this board is incapable of action to reverse this region's spiral down into complete mayhem.
Enough already! Vote NO on the Region 1 budget again.
Marshall Miles
Lies and inaccuracies from Jonathan Moore, Chairman, Region 1 Board Representative from Kent Reply
Please read below the start of Jonathan Moore's letter to the Litchfield County Times
Where have the students gone? At the Region 1 board's recent budget workshop, there was no substantive talk about the students. The refrain was simply, you need to listen to US, the angry few!
For over a year the Region 1 board has grappled with increased per-pupil costs due to decreased enrollment
Our reaction?
Mr. Moore's statement: The refrain was simply, you need to listen to US, the angry few!
Our response: We are not angry, we are not few, we are taxpayers who simply want a say in the way the district is run, as we PAY for it….
Total Budget Vote YES 452 NO 623 1075
Another statement from Mr. Moore: For over a year the Region 1 board has grappled with increased per-pupil costs
Our response: Another lie from Mr. Moore. Over the course of the last year 3 administrative positions we added to the budget, and the talk about cutting staffing (teachers) came up at the last-minute. Look at all the videos from the past year, they speak the truth about the boards actions, not the disinformation that Mr. Moore is spitting out now after three defeated budgets.
Once again, this letter shows the total disregard for taxpayers, teachers, and students..this board needs to be replaced, and Mr. Moore should resign his chairmanship as he is not capable of listening to the public, never mind that his knowledge of how to run a meeting and his knowledge of Roberts Rules are both non-existent.
Re-post this, pass it along to voters, it is another shining example of why this budget MUST be defeated again

NSO FA22 Schedule
Traditional Course Grade Appeals
Nontraditional Course Grade Appeals
Once a grade has been submitted by the instructor to the Office of the Registrar, only the instructor can change the grade, except in the case of a grade appeal. The steps for a grade appeal in the traditional program include:
The Student must contact the instructor to seek a solution no later than six weeks after the beginning of the next full Fall or Spring semester. The instructor must notify the student of his/her decision within one week of being contacted by the student. If the instructor decides that a grade change is warranted, the instructor must send written notification approved by the Department Chair and Dean of the School to the Office of the Registrar.
If the decision of the instructor is not acceptable to the student, an appeal may be made in writing to the Dean of the School that administers the course within one week after notification by the instructor. The written appeal must specify both the complaint and the action requested. The Dean of the School must notify the student of the decision within one week.
If the decision of the Dean of the School is not acceptable to the student, the written appeal may be made to the Office of the Provost. The Office of the Provost will seek a solution or may refer the matter to the Admissions and Standards Committee. The decision of the Office of the Provost is final unless the matter was referred to the Admissions and Standards Committee, in which case the decision of that committee is final.
The faculty member is responsible for the evaluation of student academic work and assigning of course grades. Once a grade has been submitted to the Office of the Registrar, only the instructor can change the grade, except in the case of a grade appeal. Failure of the student to submit the appeal within the required time will negate the student's complaint.
The following process is available for students who wish to appeal a final grade received in a course:
1. Student contacts the instructor to discuss the course grade.
Within three weeks after the final course grade was posted, the student must contact the instructor in writing to identify the reason why the course grade was unwarranted and request a possible grade change. If the instructor decides that a grade change is warranted, the instructor will send written notification to the Educational Center Director and will notify the student of the change.
If the instructor does not agree that a grade change is warranted, the student has the right to appeal the grade. Grade appeals should not be made frivolously. Appropriate grounds for grade appeals include situations in which the grade given is alleged to be inconsistent with the course syllabus or in which inappropriate professional conduct or unfairness have influenced the grade. In order to appeal a grade, the student must be prepared to document performance on all course work and explain why the grade received is not consistent with the course expectations expressed in the syllabus.
2. Student sends a written appeal to the Dean of the School.
If a student wishes to submit a grade appeal, they must do so in writing within two weeks of receiving notification of the instructor's final decision. The student should send a letter or email to the Dean of the School that administers the course. The letter of appeal should include rationale why the course grade was unwarranted and how it was inconsistent with the course syllabus. The student should also include copies of any coursework in question. The Dean will carefully review all facts and evidence in the case and determine a decision in a reasonable period of time after receipt of the appeal. The Dean will notify the student of the grade appeal decision in writing.
3. Student sends a written appeal to the Office of the Provost.
A final appeal may be made in writing to the Office of the Provost. This final appeal must be sent within two weeks of receiving notification of the Dean's decision. The letter of appeal should include rationale why the course grade was unwarranted and how it was inconsistent with the course syllabus. The student should also include copies of any coursework in question. The Provost will carefully review all facts and evidence in the case and may convene a group of faculty for further deliberation. The Provost will make the decision in a reasonable amount of time after receipt of the appeal and will notify the student of the final grade appeal decision in writing.
The decision of the Provost is final.

Healthcare 2018: Can AI Restore the Family Doctor Experience?
Healthcare consumers are increasingly wondering: Where has the family doctor gone?
In the U.S., the supply of generalists has long trailed the supply of specialists. There's a significant and growing shortage of primary care physicians. And in many parts of the world, the number of physicians per 1,000 people sits at or close to zero.
At the same time, the business model of medicine is changing. Group medical practices have outpaced traditional family practices, which some would argue has created a highly impersonal environment. As more doctors opt for hospital employment, the patient relationship—a distinguishing benefit of family medicine—is at risk. More patients are feeling like numbers instead of people with individual needs and preferences.
I certainly don't mean robots will replace human practitioners. That's not where we are, although much ink has been spilled on other ways that artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the healthcare industry—a key trend that I believe will continue in 2018. Cognitive solutions are, for example, supporting diagnosis and treatment, guiding management of chronic diseases and preventing waste and fraud in the delivery of care.
Despite these exciting developments, value of care—customer service—not quality of clinical care is top of patients' minds. Patients—end recipients, if you will—report significant friction dealing with doctors, group medical practices, clinics and hospitals. Pain points include poor communication, long wait times, and a general lack of interest in making sure they're viewed as unique individuals. In other words, symptoms of the loss of old-school private practitioners.
But AI-powered patient connectivity could restore some balance. Suppose AI mapped appointments to the physician's current schedule. Suppose AI anticipated the need for an appointment, then booked it according to observed patient preferences. Suppose AI matched patients with the appropriate physician, based on the physician's track record in treating similar patients with that specific condition—then, at the right moment, reminded the doctor of exactly who the patient is.
Fortunately, there's no need to speculate. The technology to enable all this is here and available now, and I believe another big trend will be its increasing use for improved customer experience in the healthcare environment.
Patients want the benefits of a holistic, patient-centric care approach to their care. For better or for worse, patient churn is the new norm in healthcare. A major driver? The skyrocketing cost of healthcare, which patients bear via premiums, deductibles and copays. The result is that patients are starting to manage their healthcare decisions proactively. They're demanding transparency, accountability and a level of service commensurate with their real and perceived costs. If they don't get these things, they'll take their business elsewhere—including offshore.
Healthcare distribution and delivery have changed. Maybe we can't turn back the clock, but we surely don't have to accept dropped calls, handoff issues and a distant, transactional connection to the vulnerable humans seeking care. In an era of increasing specialization and fragmentation, healthcare providers can put AI in service to assure patients that, even today, they come first in the firmament of modern medicine.

Q: React functional component : can we setState on form load event react component with hooks:
Requirement: when page load, data populates, from backend, into dropdowns and multi-select tables(tables with checkboxes). On the Submit button click, I need to use this consolidates object (for the default values selected) to make another REST call.
NOTE: No change handler called for any of these ui components.
Issue:

*

*The state is not set at all and if I try to it goes to an infinite loop. as it keeps rendering the page again and again.

*if I try to set state and use it, being an async call, the state is not available at that time.

Suggestion needed: is there a way to setState of the default selected values on form load event.
const [data, setData] = useState(undefined);
const changeRequests = useSelector(state =>
  state.oncallRequest.changeRequests
);

useEffect(() => {
  if (!changeRequests.fulfilled) {
    dispatch(fetchRequests(), [dispatch])
      .then(response => setData(setDefaultState(response.data)));
  }
}, [changeRequests.fulfilled, dispatch]);

And I got the below error:
ERROR: TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined.async call.

Action Class:
export const fetchRequests = () => dispatch => {
    dispatch({type: LIST_PENDING});

    listChangeRequests().then(data => {
        dispatch({type: LIST_FULFILLED, changeRequests: data})
    }).catch(err => {
        dispatch({type: LIST_FAILED, changeRequests: {error: err.message}})
    });
};

**Service Class**
export const listChangeRequests = () => axiosInstance.get(`/getData`).then(res => {
    return res.data;
});

SOLUTION:
I used 2 use Effect: one for fetching data from backend and another for setting state.

**but getting the following exception**
1) **React Hook useEffect has a missing dependency: 'setDefaultState'. Either include it or remove the dependency array**
2) 'data' is assigned a value but never used

Please advise on the warnings...

    useEffect(() => {
  if (!changeRequests.fulfilled) {
    dispatch(fetchRequests(), [dispatch])
  }
}, [changeRequests.fulfilled, dispatch]);

-------------
useEffect(() => {
        if (changeRequests.data) {
            setData(setDefaultState(changeRequests.data));
        }
    }, [changeRequests.data]);

A: Likely, you don't know useEffect, at the initial mounting of your component the useEffect can call an API and then change the state by using useState. like below:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const FormComponent = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState(undefined);
  const [error, setError] = useState(undefined);

  useEffect(() => {
    // call an API and in the success or failure fill the data buy using setData function
    // it could be like below
    ApiCall()
      .then(response => setData(response))
      .catch(err => setError(err))
  }, []);

  ~~~

};

UPDATE
This part is added after your code adding. actually your dispatch function doesn't return Promise event doesn't return anything. so the usage of then in your code is not acceptable and the JavaScript interpreter should return an Error. I guess you should focus on your dispatch function.

A: You need to use useEffect and useState Hooks for this.
  useEffect(() => {

     // write any code that will execute at first time

  }, []);  <-- [] is the empty dependency.

In the below example, LoadUser() function is called in useEffect that will be getting data from api. After successful call, response data is set into the state using setPosts (useState Hook)
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import axios from "axios";

function ExamplePost() {
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);
  const [posts, setPosts] = useState([]);
  const [error, setError] = useState("");

  useEffect(() => {
    LoadUser();
  }, []);

  function LoadUser() {
    try {
      setIsLoading(true);
      const response = axios.get(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts`, {
        cancelToken: this.signal.token
      });
      response
        .then((response) => {
          setPosts(response);
          setIsLoading(false);
        })
        .catch((error) => {
          setError(error);
          setIsLoading(false);
        });
    } catch (error) {
      setIsLoading(false);
    }
  }

  return (

        {posts.map((post) => (

{post.title}

        ))}

  );
}
export default ExamplePost;

"The widespread need to address both science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and STEM workforce development is persistent. Underscored by the Next Generation Science Standards, demand is high for P-12 engineering-centered curricula. TeachEngineering is a free, standards-aligned NSF-funded digital library of more than 1,500 hands-on, design-rich K-12 engineering lessons and activities. Beyond anonymous site-user counts, the impact of the TeachEngineering collection and outreach initiatives on the education of children and their teachers was previously unknown. Thus, the project team wrestled with the question of how to meaningfully ascertain classroom impacts of the digital engineering education library and--more broadly--how to ascertain the impacts of teacher-focused P-12 engineering education initiatives. In this paper, the authors approach the classroom impact question through probing self-reported differentials in: (1) teachers' confidence in teaching engineering concepts, and (2) changes in their teaching practices as a result of exposure to (and experiences with) K-12 engineering education resources and outreach opportunities. In 2016, four quantitative and qualitative surveys were implemented to probe the impact of the TeachEngineering digital library and outreach on four populations of K-12 teachers' confidence and practices, including the frequency with which they integrate engineering into their precollege classrooms. Survey results document the teacher experience and perception of using hands-on K-12 engineering curricular materials in the classroom and help create a data-driven understanding of where to best invest future resources. The results suggest that the TeachEngineering curricular resources and outreach initiatives help teachers build confidence in their use of engineering curriculum and pedagogy in K-12 classrooms, impact their teaching practices, and increase their likelihood of teaching engineering in the classroom in the future."

Rookie Kennard having an early impact in Giants' camp
EAST RUTHERFORD – Jon Beason turned around the Giants' defense last season. Jameel McClain was signed as a free agent in March.
Not much room on the roster at middle linebacker for a fifth-round pick out of Southern California. So Devon Kennard is making room.
Kennard impressed the coaching staff during offseason workouts and minicamp. He is doing the same early in training camp, with Beason recovering from a broken bone in his right foot, and McClain slowed by a left foot issue.
"I liked him on film; obviously our college scouting liked him on film," linebackers coach Jim Herrmann said Wednesday. "He played at USC and he played under four different coordinators, and played four different positions, so I think he kind of got lost in the college shuffle a little bit there.
"Again, we've got to go out and see him in live games, but based on what you see of him on film, he's not going to shy away from the game. He's calm, cool, and collected. It's the speed of the game, and we'll see how he plays. Based on what we do out here, I don't think he's going to have a problem."
About an hour later, as Herrmann was running the linebackers through positioning drills, he bombarded Kennard with questions. The rookie shot back the answers, and the group moved on to other tasks.
Picking up a pro defense, particularly for a linebacker who only sometimes has played in the middle, is a major challenge. Kennard has been practicing at strong side LB as well as in the middle.
And he knows just making the team is a huge hurdle to clear, particularly as the 174th overall choice.
Kennard has been anything but intimidated.
"The impression I want to make is that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help this team win and get back to the championship level that the Giants organization wants to be at," Kennard said. "I'm continuing to try to show that every day with the way that I work, with my selflessness for the team, and the effort I give in trying to be the best."
Kennard believes his best trait is versatility. Yet if Beason isn't ready for the opener in Detroit on Sept. 8, and McClain can't stay healthy — or can't beat out the rookie — Kennard could find himself with one position: middle linebacker.
"I want to continue to show that I can pick it up," he said, "because the first thing is I have to be able to make the right call, close in correctly and make the calls and all of the adjustments. And then with my playmaking and what I can do to help the team. I don't think I've done anything yet. This is just Day 2 of camp. I did OK during OTAs and minicamp, but I'm continually trying to show them what I can do."
Kennard looks like he can do many things, from rushing the quarterback to covering in the passing game to stuffing the run. He'll get a long look in the preseason games, which begin on Aug. 3 with the Hall of Fame game against Buffalo.
Herrmann is eager to see how Kennard handles those tests.
"That's why you play preseason games," Herrmann said. "We'll find out a lot about him, but he played at USC, which is pretty good football, so he'll probably have a pretty good idea."
The Giants have no idea when Beason will be ready.
They acquired him from Carolina last October, and the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker had 98 tackles after joining the team in the sixth game — the Giants' sixth straight loss. The defense finished eighth in the NFL overall after being near the bottom, and the Giants won seven of their last 10 games.
Herrmann likes the look of his linebacking corps, especially when Beason comes back.
"I think as a whole, the group is very flexible," he said. "We all understand that we have to be able to play multiple positions. There's only 46 uniforms given out on Sunday."
The way it looks so far, Kennard will be in one of them


On Monday we left Santa Rosa and headed back over to Hwy 1, stopping along the way for lunch with a bridge view before continuing south to Half Moon Bay State Beach.
The city of Half Moon Bay lies on the coast about 30 miles south of San Francisco. Considering its close proximity to a large city, Half Moon Bay has a surprising small town feel to it. The area is ripe with agriculture and as we rolled into town field after field of various greens, artichokes, and pumpkins came into view. We missed the famous pumpkin festival that draws thousands of visitors every October, but plenty of pumpkins remained in the fields and at roadside stands. Coming from the cold northeast it's a new experience for us to see flourishing agriculture crops in the middle of November. What we really came to see though was the beach. Half Moon Bay has miles of the most gorgeous coastline with fine sand beaches and gentle surf.
The weather was phenomenal during our stay. With temps in the mid-70s and a bright sun overhead we broke out the shorts and t-shirts for our daily walks on the beach. Phineas rejoiced as well and ventured into the ocean for the first time since somewhere in the middle of Oregon.
High bluffs line the beaches and a walking/bike path hugs the edge of the bluff offering stunning views of the ocean below.
The state park was fairly empty during our weekday visit and while we didn't pay the extra $15 for a water view, our large open site on the corner with a huge front yard was quite nice. The highlight of our stay at Half Moon Bay was a visit with fellow airstreamers Dave and Kelly who currently live in their 27ft airstream at a campground down the road from the state park. While circumstances don't allow them to travel full-time right now, they take many weekend and week long trips and hope one day to go mobile. We had a great time chatting about trailer life and all that comes with it. It was very refreshing for us to meet others with similar life goals and values. We felt an immediate connection with them and hope to meet up again somewhere down the road.
Despite my best intentions I got so wrapped up in our conversation that I completely forgot to take any pictures of our get together. Whoops.
This week we're continuing down the coast…next stop Santa Cruz.
Oh Hey There Pacific Ocean, It's Been While!
Hey guys, thanks for the mention.
1. The Buttery: A fantastic bakery w/ killer treats and also a great (and huge) selection of baked breads.
2. The Picnic Basket: I will go on public record with this — the absolute best ice cream anywhere. Yes, anywhere. Even better, the boardwalk location and atmosphere makes for great people watching.
We were too quick for you, by the time you wrote this we had already left :( Good suggestions for next time though!
It's been sooo many years since I last visited Half Moon Bay. You got some great shots of the area…making me nostalgic. Never stayed at the SP there so gotta add that one to the list.
Yeah, it's a pretty cool place. This was by far our favorite beach since leaving Oregon.
And not a word about Pigeon Point Lighthouse where I was Wickie in 1948, or Ano Nuevo State Park where you can walk among the Elephant seals. But Santa Cruz is as great, I am sure, as it was in the Forties. Next time maybe.

This article is about the electronic device. For other uses, see Repeater (disambiguation).
A radio repeater retransmits a radio signal.
In telecommunications, a repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it. Repeaters are used to extend transmissions so that the signal can cover longer distances or be received on the other side of an obstruction. Some types of repeaters broadcast an identical signal, but alter its method of transmission, for example, on another frequency or baud rate.
There are several different types of repeaters; a telephone repeater is an amplifier in a telephone line, an optical repeater is an optoelectronic circuit that amplifies the light beam in an optical fiber cable; and a radio repeater is a radio receiver and transmitter that retransmits a radio signal.
A broadcast relay station is a repeater used in broadcast radio and television.

3 Data handling
3.1 Analog repeater
3.2 Digital repeater
When an information-bearing signal passes through a communication channel, it is progressively degraded due to loss of power. For example, when a telephone call passes through a wire telephone line, some of the power in the electric current which represents the audio signal is dissipated as heat in the resistance of the copper wire. The longer the wire is, the more power is lost, and the smaller the amplitude of the signal at the far end. So with a long enough wire the call will not be audible at the other end. Similarly, the farther from a radio station a receiver is, the weaker the radio signal, and the poorer the reception. A repeater is an electronic device in a communication channel that increases the power of a signal and retransmits it, allowing it to travel further. Since it amplifies the signal, it requires a source of electric power.
The term "repeater" originated with telegraphy in the 19th century, and referred to an electromechanical device (a relay) used to regenerate telegraph signals.[1][2] Use of the term has continued in telephony and data communications.
In computer networking, because repeaters work with the actual physical signal, and do not attempt to interpret the data being transmitted, they operate on the physical layer, the first layer of the OSI model.
Types[edit]
Telephone repeater[edit]
This is used to increase the range of telephone signals in a telephone line.
Land line repeater
They are most frequently used in trunklines that carry long distance calls. In an analog telephone line consisting of a pair of wires, it consists of an amplifier circuit made of transistors which use power from a DC current source to increase the power of the alternating current audio signal on the line. Since the telephone is a duplex (bidirectional) communication system, the wire pair carries two audio signals, one going in each direction. So telephone repeaters have to be bilateral, amplifying the signal in both directions without causing feedback, which complicates their design considerably. Telephone repeaters were the first type of repeater and were some of the first applications of amplification. The development of telephone repeaters between 1900 and 1915 made long distance phone service possible. Now, most telecommunications cables are fiber optic cables which use optical repeaters (below).
Before the invention of electronic amplifiers, mechanically coupled carbon microphones were used as amplifiers in telephone repeaters. After the turn of the 20th century it was found that negative resistance mercury lamps could amplify, and they were used.[3] The invention of audion tube repeaters around 1916 made transcontinental telephony practical. In the 1930s vacuum tube repeaters using hybrid coils became commonplace, allowing the use of thinner wires. In the 1950s negative impedance gain devices were more popular, and a transistorized version called the E6 repeater was the final major type used in the Bell System before the low cost of digital transmission made all voiceband repeaters obsolete. Frequency frogging repeaters were commonplace in frequency-division multiplexing systems from the middle to late 20th century.
Submarine cable repeater
This is a type of telephone repeater used in underwater submarine telecommunications cables.
Optical communications repeater[edit]
Main article: Optical communications repeater
This is used to increase the range of signals in a fiber optic cable. Digital information travels through a fiber optic cable in the form of short pulses of light. The light is made up of particles called photons, which can be absorbed or scattered in the fiber. An optical communications repeater usually consists of a phototransistor which converts the light pulses to an electrical signal, an amplifier to increase the power of the signal, an electronic filter which reshapes the pulses, and a laser which converts the electrical signal to light again and sends it out the other fiber. However, optical amplifiers are being developed for repeaters to amplify the light itself without the need of converting it to an electric signal first.
Radio repeater[edit]
A radio communications with a Repeater or a Talkaround channel
Guarini-Foresio's repeater
This is used to extend the range of coverage of a radio signal. The history of radio relay repeaters began in 1898 from the publication by Johann Mattausch in Austrian Journal Zeitschrift für Electrotechnik (v. 16, 35 - 36).[2][4] But his proposal "Translator" was primitive and not suitable for use. The first relay system with radio repeaters, which really functioned, was that invented in 1899 by Emile Guarini-Foresio.[2]
A radio repeater usually consists of a radio receiver connected to a radio transmitter. The received signal is amplified and retransmitted, often on another frequency, to provide coverage beyond the obstruction. Usage of a duplexer can allow the repeater to use one antenna for both receive and transmit at the same time.
Broadcast relay station, rebroadcastor or translator: This is a repeater used to extend the coverage of a radio or television broadcasting station. It consists of a secondary radio or television transmitter. The signal from the main transmitter often comes over leased telephone lines or by microwave relay.
Microwave relay: This is a specialized point-to-point telecommunications link, consisting of a microwave receiver that receives information over a beam of microwaves from another relay station in line-of-sight distance, and a microwave transmitter which passes the information on to the next station over another beam of microwaves. Networks of microwave relay stations transmit telephone calls, television programs, and computer data from one city to another over continent-wide areas.
Passive repeater: This is a microwave relay that simply consists of a flat metal surface to reflect the microwave beam in another direction. It is used to get microwave relay signals over hills and mountains when it is not necessary to amplify the signal.
Cellular repeater: This is a radio repeater for boosting cell phone reception in a limited area. The device functions like a small cellular base station, with a directional antenna to receive the signal from the nearest cell tower, an amplifier, and a local antenna to rebroadcast the signal to nearby cell phones. It is often used in downtown office buildings.
Digipeater: A repeater node in a packet radio network. It performs a store and forward function, passing on packets of information from one node to another.
Amateur radio repeater: Used by amateur radio operators to enable two-way communication across an area which would otherwise be difficult by point-to-point on VHF and UHF. These repeaters are set up and maintained by individual operators or clubs, and are generally available for any licensed amateur to use. A hill or mountaintop location is a preferable location to construct a repeater, as it will maximize the usability across a large area.
Radio repeaters improve communication coverage in systems using frequencies that typically have line-of-sight propagation. Without a repeater, these systems are limited in range by the curvature of the Earth and the blocking effect of terrain or high buildings. A repeater on a hilltop or tall building can allow stations that are out of each other's line-of-sight range to communicate reliably.[5]
Radio repeaters may also allow translation from one set of radio frequencies to another, for example to allow two different public service agencies to interoperate (say, police and fire services of a city, or neighboring police departments). They may provide links to the public switched telephone network as well. [6] [7] or satellite network(BGAN, INMARSAT, MSAT) as an alternative path from source to the destination.[8]
Typically a repeater station listens on one frequency, A, and transmits on a second, B. All mobile stations listen for signals on channel B and transmit on channel A. The difference between the two frequencies may be relatively small compared to the frequency of operation, say 1%. Often the repeater station will use the same antenna for transmission and reception; highly selective filters called "duplexers" separate the faint incoming received signal from the billions of times more powerful outbound transmitted signal. Sometimes separate transmitting and receiving locations are used, connected by a wire line or a radio link. While the repeater station is designed for simultaneous reception and transmission, mobile units need not be equipped with the bulky and costly duplexers, as they only transmit or receive at any time.
Mobile units in a repeater system may be provided with a "talkaround" channel that allows direct mobile-to-mobile operation on a single channel. This may be used if out of reach of the repeater system, or for communications not requiring the attention of all mobiles. The "talkaround" channel may be the repeater output frequency; the repeater will not retransmit any signals on its output frequency.[9]
An engineered radio communication system designer will analyze the coverage area desired and select repeater locations, elevations, antennas, operating frequencies and power levels to permit a predictable level of reliable communication over the designed coverage area.
Data handling[edit]
Repeaters can be divided into two types depending on the type of data they handle:
Analog repeater[edit]
This type is used in channels that transmit data in the form of an analog signal in which the voltage or current is proportional to the amplitude of the signal, as in an audio signal. They are also used in trunklines that transmit multiple signals using frequency division multiplexing (FDM). Analog repeaters are composed of a linear amplifier, and may include electronic filters to compensate for frequency and phase distortion in the line.
Digital repeater[edit]
The digipeater is used in channels that transmit data by binary digital signals, in which the data is in the form of pulses with only two possible values, representing the binary digits 1 and 0. A digital repeater amplifies the signal, and it also may retime, resynchronize, and reshape the pulses. A repeater that performs the retiming or resynchronizing functions may be called a regenerator.

This new bridge carries four lanes of traffic over the Cowlitz River and Burlington-Northern mainline railroad. The bridge serves as the main link between downtown Kelso and Longview. At 1,120 ft long, the bridge was constructed using reinforced earth techniques with precast panel facing. The span of the bridge over the river has six piers founded on three 10 ft diameter drilled shafts. The bridge deck and rail are cast-in-place concrete.
General Construction was a participating Kiewit district in the rehabilitation project that included the replacement of two parallel single-leaf bascule bridges which remained operational throughout construction.
The 9,559-foot long Homer Hadley Bridge is part of the westbound I-90 bridge connecting Seattle and Bellevue. General Construction replaced the expansion joints that were cracked and deteriorating. This was a two-part process with the small joints being removed and replaced in May 2009 and the large joints being removed and replaced in July 2009.
More than 115,000 vehicles cross the aging SR520 floating bridge between Seattle and Bellevue on a daily basis, and it was imperative that the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) provide commuters a new, safer and more modern bridge to withstand potential seismic activity and severe weather. Kiewit-General, a Joint Venture (K-G) was selected as the best value contractor to build the pontoons that will support the new roadway superstructure.
General Construction Company, part of the Tacoma Narrows Constructors joint venture, was responsible for construction of the two foundation caissons that support the suspension towers of the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Each finished caisson is 80 feet wide, 130 feet long and up to 234 feet tall and located in water depths of about 140 feet, where they penetrate over 60 feet into the sea floor and extend to the surface above the highest tide elevations.
The project consisted of driving six 10 ft diameter piles down into bedrock. Pile lengths were 136 ft to 200 ft. The piles were drilled out and socketed into bedrock up to 30 ft. Rebar cages were installed full depth and the pile was filled with concrete. Pier caps were constructed on top of the pile. Twelve 7 ft. square precast box girder sections, ranging in length from 84 ft to 180 ft, were fabricated and set in pairs on top of the caps.
Due to nitrogen super saturation that causes trauma to juvenile salmon, General Construction built the deflectors to the spillways which direct the flow of water horizontally to reduce the amount of nitrogen gas entrained in the water.

Obafemi Martins Joins China's Shanghai Shenhua
February 15, 2016	Comments Off on Obafemi Martins Joins China's Shanghai Shenhua 22 Views
Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins has joined Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua in a multi-million dollar deal, BBC Sport can reveal.
The 31-year-old makes the switch from Seattle Sounders, where he scored 43 goals in 84 appearances for the MLS club he joined in March 2013.
Martins was linked with a move back to the Premier League in the January window, but British agent Tony Harris along with the player's attorney Soroosh Abdi brokered the deal taking the Super Eagle to China instead.
Martins, who joins Senegalese striker Demba Ba at the Shanghai club,becomes the latest high-profile player to make the switch to the cash-rich Super League.
Colombia striker Jackson Martinez, former Chelsea midfielder Ramires, Cameroon captain Stephane Mbia and ex-Serie A duo Gervinho and Fredy Guarin are among the other big Chinese signings in 2016.
Martins burst into the international limelight at Italian side Inter Milan before switching to Newcastle in August 2006. He scored 35 goals in his three seasons with the Magpies.
The striker, who has also had spells in Germany, Russia and Spain, will be remembered for scoring Birmingham City's winner in their 2-1 Carling Cup final victory over Arsenal in 2011 – the club's first silverware since 1963.
He has scored 18 goals in 41 international appearances for three-time African champions Nigeria and was voted Africa's most promising talent in 2003 and 2004.

Kit knows value of lifesaving machine
Published: 11:32 AM December 2, 2006
Updated: 12:23 AM February 18, 2021
KIT Carson thought he was simply out of breath before doctors diagnosed his life-threatening illness.The quadruple heart-bypass survivor has told his story following the launch of the Evening Star's appeal to raise £22,000 for a cardiac ultrasound machine for Ipswich Hospital.
FORMER smoker Kit Carson thought he was invincible.
But he knows how heart failure can strike at any time.
Today, as we launch our 2006 Christmas Appeal, he tells his story to reporter HAZEL BYFORD.
KIT Carson thought he was simply out of breath before doctors diagnosed his life-threatening illness.
The quadruple heart-bypass survivor, of Jubilee Crescent, Stowupland, has told his story following the launch of Lifesaver: Evening Star Christmas Appeal 2006, which aims to raise £22,000 for a cardiac ultrasound machine for Ipswich Hospital's accident and emergency department.
He said: "People have a 'it won't happen to me mentality', I thought I was invincible, but it really could. It could happen to anyone at any time.
"That's why it's so important to get the scanner through this appeal. If it can be used to diagnose people sooner and get them repaired it is a massive thing.
"I had to have an emergency operation because it was so time-critical, but maybe others can avoid that."
The 65-year-old, an active member of the Stowmarket and District Lions Club, first discovered his illness in 1984.
He said: "I wasn't very old. I had just built the base for the Stowupland village sign and we were having a flag ceremony to open it.
"As everyone was standing there I got a pain in my upper chest which felt like indigestion. It gradually got worse and worse and I had to go home.
"A doctor came out and gave me antacid but the pain was horrendous and when I woke the following morning it was just as bad.
"I had to go to Keele for a work conference and found I was getting very short of breath. My answer was to stop and have another fag!
"When I got home and spoke to a doctor again he did an electrocardiogram (ECG) and told me I'd had a heart attack. I had to stop smoking, go home and wrap myself in cotton wool for two weeks and after that I was okay again."
Mr Carson remained conscious about his heart health and it was not until 1997 the problems resurfaced.
After another stressful week at work, he found he was again experiencing a shortness of breath.
He said: "I went to see a doctor and he said I had to leave my car in the car park because he was calling me an ambulance to take me to Ipswich Hospital.
"I was in critical care for several days, then moved on to a different ward so I thought it was sorted. But alas not.
"One morning I woke with the pain like indigestion again. It got unbearable and felt like there was a herd of elephants inside of me so I got given morphine and managed to sleep.
"When I woke again I was in an unstable angina condition and blue-lighted in an ambulance to Papworth Hospital, near Cambridge, and everyone was acting like they had no time to tell me what was going on.
"I was taken to an operating theatre on a trolley and a doctor all ready for surgery appeared and I was frightened. I had to ask her to pinch me to see if I was dreaming."
The doctor's measured the time it took for a cloudy substance to clear through his ventricle and travel round his body. It was discovered he had at least three, possibly four blockages which needed surgery and he was prepared for an operation.
A quadruple heart bypass was carried out on July 18 and it was one year later Mr Carson took part in his first fundraiser - a 60-mile cycle ride through the Lake District with his daughter Deborah, now 43, which raised £3,150.
Now Mr Carson, a former oil salesman and driver for Audi, is a regular fundraiser. The Lions club holds an annual Rhythm of Life walk which raises around £5,000 for heart charities in the area each year.
His wife Barbara is familiar with what he went through - having had a triple heart bypass herself.
Mr Carson said: "She followed me so we are a family who knows all about the subject.
"Fortunately I've had no problems with my heart since 1997 but I've certainly not forgotten."

OUR Lifesaver: Evening Star Christmas Appeal 2006 aims to raise £22,000 for a cardiac ultrasound machine for Ipswich Hospital's accident and emergency department.
The machine quickly helps doctors diagnose acute cardiac conditions, including heart failure, and is expected to help around 1,000 people every year.
Currently, the hospital relies on older technology such as x-rays. It has other ultrasound machines in the radiology department but often A&E patients need a scan immediately and the new machine will be on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
The state-of-the-art machine can also do other ultrasound scans besides those for the heart.
We aim to reach the £22,000 target by mid January next year.
Members of the East of England Co-operative Society can help by quoting the dividend number 977 at the till.

Afterplace review: "Finally, a place for after"
By Will Quick
| Afterplace
The universe hides more secrets than we could even fathom and more space than we could ever hope to explore. Evan Kice decided to share their ideas for what could be lurking between them with Afterplace. This is a top-down 2D RPG taking place in a mysterious land full of monsters and mysteries. You use touch controls to guide the hero around the wilderness, towns, and structures all the while using taps to dodge and fight. With little information to go on, you need to rely on innate curiosity and perseverance to figure things out and do what's required.
Arriving in Afterplace
With the possibility of infinite dimensions out there, there are even more possible stories out there. Afterplace is just focusing on one such place and one such story. You take on the role of an unknown kid who wakes up in a strange place, referred to by locals as simply "the island". You learn that all sorts of beings and creatures have slipped through the cracks of the universe to end up on the island with no way to leave. Guided by a mysterious voice and your own curiosity, you must help the child fight their way to the truth and hopefully find a way back to their own world. If that's not enough to drive you forward, the idea around what the island is will.
Making yourself at home in Afterplace
Whenever you end up in a strange place, ideally you'd want to find ways to make yourself comfortable as you figure out how to spend your time. Afterplace definitely gives you comfort and excitement. The first is the game's minimalist nature. So many questions are asked when you start up the game, but this provides the whole reason to play. You wake up in the middle of nowhere and start wandering around. You meet random characters, learn the basics, and are swinging at slimes with the best of them. The more you learn about the world, the more curious you get while it feeds your sense of wonder.
Vampire Survivors Mobile review
Since the story doesn't rely heavily on words to fill you in, the aesthetics really shine. The pixel graphics are refined and detailed with colours that blend smoothly into each other. Any sort of animation is simple but clear enough to convey the actions and reactions clearly. Whenever you speak to a character, they generally have extensive dialogue to give the sense of a more natural character and don't often repeat themselves. The music is truly notable for being effective at creating a distinct atmosphere in each area with certain sections having a distinct lack of it to further create an eerie or ominous feeling.
It's also a fairly challenging game where combat is mainly about quick movements and counterattacks. The range of enemy designs is also impressive and you never know exactly what you're in for. You also don't know exactly what you're dealing with until they decide to attack, so you'll need to stay on your toes.
Afterplace is uncomfortable
Nowhere is perfect and even your home can have things that create discomfort. Afterplace is the same way. The main issue is its open-ended nature in that it can be too vague in its objectives. The good news is there's always something to be gained while exploring, but some players may just want to focus on the main quest, which is not always clear-cut. For how responsive you need to be in combat, it can take some time to get a hand for the controls. They're generally responsive, but you really need to control your slides and taps otherwise you risk getting knocked out in a matter of seconds.
A place for Afterplace
Afterplace is a mysterious 2D pixel adventure with a nice balance between story, combat, and exploration. The mystery of the setting drives you, as does the variety of characters and enemies that pose a solid challenge, with wonderful visuals and music to support it all. You may need to get a good feel for the controls and overcome a lack of direction to improve playing though. If you do, you may find yourself never wanting to leave Afterplace.

I Am Not Your Negro-sp
In 1979, the esteemed writer, James Baldwin, proposed a book to his agent which would deal with the life and death of Malcolm X, Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King. He only got around to completing 30 pages of this book and he died eight years later in 1987. Director and Screenwriter, Raoul Peck, picked up the ball and constructed this documentary film using the beginning 30 pages plus clips of Baldwin and other important voices on the subject and brought in Samuel Jackson to do the voice over. He constructed a story that highlighted the oppression of blacks in this country dating back to slavery and moving forward to the modern civil rights movement in which Malcolm X, Evers and King made such major contributions each in his own way.
This is more than a review of history. It captures how Baldwin and others have felt as they were denied the freedoms (overt and subtle) that so many Americans take for granted. His passion comes across so clearly whether it is in viewing clips of interviews with him on the Dick Cavett Late Night Television Show or the voice of Samuel Jackson as he speaks through the written words of Baldwin and the director/writer Peck. There are appropriate film clips from classic American films which include well-known actors, as well as newsreels which show Evers, King and Malcolm X making their indelible mark on American history.
We would like to say that this is all past history. Baldwin died 30 years ago and the three subjects of his proposed book are gone even longer. While these great men and many others have brought us much closer to a time when racial discrimination would be ancient history, we are not there yet. This documentary film which was nominated for an Oscar as best documentary film last year will allow its viewers to reflect about contemporary times and consider what still has to be done. (2017)

Parking: There is a small carpark off Britannia street in front of the depot, or there is a bigger carpark (the "Peel St Carpark") behind the library that can be accessed from both Britannia Street and Richmond Street.
Our meets start at 10am with a brief introduction. We will introduce our Babywearing Wellington team and go through the different styles of carriers with a demonstration. We will run through some babywearing guidelines/safety tips and then there will be time to get advice, help with fitting a carrier, hire carriers, or catch up with fellow babywearers. If you have reserved a carrier you will need to pick it up by 11am, otherwise it will be freed up for someone else to hire.
Due to demand and popularity of some carriers we run a reserves list for the library at the City meets, many of our carriers are now reserved prior to the meet. If there is something in particular you want to hire please send us an email with 'carrier reserve' in the subject and let us know so you are not disappointed on the day.
There is a one-off registration fee of $20 that is required to become a Babywearing Wellington member, it then costs $2.5o per week to hire any carrier in our library. All proceeds go towards running and updating the library, as well as keeping our meetings running. Please note: our usual lending period if you are hiring from the city meet is one month, or a fortnight if you are hiring from the Petone meet. Our stretchy wraps are available to be hired for a 3 month period for $15.
You do not have to be a Babywearing Wellington member to come along and see different options, try carriers on, get advice, get help with fitting your own carrier, or to hang out.

Scholarly monographs devoted to Qur'anic studies. Proposals that reflect the ethos of the Association – the analysis of the Qurʾan as a text of Late Antiquity – are especially welcome, although the Editorial Committee will consider proposals reflecting diverse approaches to the study of the text. We welcome proposals from both established scholars and from young scholars who have recently completed or are close to completing a doctoral thesis. The latter may want to consult William Germano, From Dissertation to Book (2nd edition) and idem, Getting It Published (2nd edition), for guidance on how to transform a PhD thesis into a book suitable for a wider readership.
The republication of classic works no longer in copyright, and the translation of important works written in languages other than English. Because IQSA does not have in-house translators, translation proposals should identify a willing and competent translator – competence includes not only command of English and the source language, but also familiarity with the technical aspects of Qur'anic studies.
A sub-series that will include Qurʾan study guides (vocabulary, concordances, etc.), the proceedings of the bi-annual IQSA international conferences, and the collected essays, e.g., of distinguished Qur'an scholars.
The monograph series Director, Dr. David Powers [email: dsp4@cornell.edu], warmly welcomes any proposals for this series.
