Do you love scuba diving but haven't had the chance to dive for a while? Take a Refresher Course and resume having fun. You can brush up on basic diving information or step up your skills to new levels. Learning to become a dive master or rescue diver is a challenge, but both are useful in several ways. Teaching others to dive and rescuing divers in trouble are just two advantages of having these certifications.
You may feel that you're ready for the Advanced Open Water Course when you need a Refresher Course. Those who are learning how to dive take the Open Water Course and can go right to the advanced course when they complete it, so if you're experienced, this may be helpful. The advanced course includes underwater navigation and diving in deeper water plus one of 15 adventure dives.
Adventure diving is quite a thrill for divers who like deep diving and wreck diving. Key West diving is particularly exciting at the USNS Vandenberg, a sunken ship that is now the largest man-made reef in the National Marine Sanctuary of the Florida Keys. Along with having a great deal of fun, divers can develop underwater careers of photography, natural sciences, navigation and videography. A refresher course could lead to more than safer recreational diving; it could lead to a salary.
If you're taking a Refresher Course, you also might want to take the Project AWARE Fish Identification Course so that you know what you're seeing underwater. Knowing what kind of fish you're seeing makes it more interesting because warm-water fish species vary in different parts of the world. Learn digital underwater photography and capture images of fish to examine later. It's quite a science lesson for the kids, too.
Did someone say "kids?" The Bubble-maker Experience for kids eight years and up gets them ready to scuba dive for a family adventure that will make wonderful memories. Scuba diving may even spark an interest in marine biology in the future. When you take the Refresher Course, the kids can be scheduled for this diving class.
A good thing to know when diving is how to be an Emergency Oxygen Provider, another course taught. You'll learn how to give oxygen to someone in trouble underwater as well as how to recognize diving-related illnesses. It may be invaluable. In a similar vein, the Dan Oxygen Provider course teaches divers how to give oxygen to an injured diver. Various systems for oxygen delivery are reviewed as well as types of injuries that may occur underwater.
The Enriched Air Nitrox Course provides ways to give divers more time underwater. This technique also allows for water reentry sooner during repetitive diving. More diving in a shorter amount of time may be helpful to divers with very busy schedules. If you want to get a jump-start on learning more about diving, e-learning is an excellent resource. Ask us about the best course for you.

One of the attorneys who successfully challenged the Electoral and Boundaries Commission (EBC) over voting rights for Commonwealth citizens believes yesterday's decision by the Supreme Court will not affect this country's readiness for the next general election, due by the middle of this year.
Wilfred Abrahams told a news conference this afternoon at the Barbados Bar Association's office on Roebuck Street, The City, while a number of non-citizens were expected to register, the EBC ought to be equipped to deal with the increase.
"The same way that the Electoral and Boundaries Commission has to go out and investigate Barbadians who are registering for the first time or people who are changing their address . . . there is a system that is in place on an annual basis and if they do not have the resources to do so then they need to tell the Government they need more registering officers," Abrahams said.
Chief Justice Sir Marston Gibson yesterday ruled that all Commonwealth citizens who meet the requirements under the Representation of the People Act have a right to vote here.
He made the declaration in the Supreme Court, after four non-nationals who have been living here for over a decade, legally challenged their exclusion from the country's voters' list.
St Lucian Professor Eddy Ventose, Grenadian Shireene Ann Mathlin-Tulloch, Jamaican Michelle Melissa Russell and Montserratian Sharon Juliet Edgecombe-Miller had been seeking to get their names added to the electoral list in time for the general election.
However, they claimed that when they contacted the EBC they were advised that they were not eligible to be on the list, as they did not enjoy permanent residency, immigrant status or citizenship of Barbados.
The Chief Justice ruled that any decision to exclude them would be in violation of Cap 12 of the Act, which does not make it mandatory for the applicants to be permanent residents, immigrants or citizens of Barbados in order to vote.
During today's briefing, which was also attended by attorneys-at-law Fay Finnisterre and Gregory Nicholls, both of whom were also instrumental in the successful challenge, it was revealed that a large number of eligible non-nationals had already signed up to vote.
"This is not a case of persons making a new claim. These people have been trying for a while and are seeking simply to get their rights that currently exist under the law. This cannot be a surprise to the Electoral and Boundaries Commission because they had notion of the action for sometime and if I were them I would have put things in place to register the people," Abrahams said.
In support of his colleague, Nicholls said there was evidence that the EBC had registered eligible citizens of the Commonwealth, suggesting that it was selective about when the policy was applied.
"In fact we put into evidence from some persons who are Commonwealth citizens who have been registered to vote. So this is not a situation where all Commonwealth citizens have been denied, but it just seems that this is a more recent policy. They called it a longstanding policy but that is not true. There were people who voted in the last three elections. The EBC has been very vague as to when the policy was instituted and why, and to be honest there are more questions than answers," Nicholls told reporters.
When the Electoral and Boundaries Commission either does not know the rules or has to be challenged to follow the rules, one has to wonder about how all aspects of their business are conducted.
This is a serious indictment when the decision making body in a matter as serious as elections refused to follow what appear to be clear rules. They were recently approved for additional funding and hopefully they were sufficiently proactive in realising how this ruling could have gone – and are prepared to do what's necessary.
Now if the court decides that the EBC should pay the litigants' costs, another tug at the public purse strings. Oh to hear the sound of appropriate letters of censure on the files of the offending public officers.

Now I work on his throws and ground fighting moves, after IA and he will be done.
Man, thats a total renewed Terry Bogard. He looks so refreshed with all these moves you gave him. As a fan, i will enjoy to play with him against all other characters in game.
It's interesting to see his original style became his special style. So to fight in his nature costs extra energy i guess. Also, i have an idea. Could you send me a single standing sprite of Terry Bogard as a pm if necessary.
in fact no, you can switch styles without energy cost, but it's take few secondes.
His "special" style use energy for some specials and it's doing more damage than the specials of the others styles (even if you guard).
Indeed, I wasn't planning to had SNK player in my game at the begining. But your Terry remembered me that my favorite fighter is him. So the project becomes now CVS: Iron Muscle Bomber.
Here are some palettes/recolors for you as your Terry uses styles from other fighters, i gave their colors to him. I hope you like them.
Wow, I like the Blue Mary and Clark Palette, they are beautifull.
Thanks man. Here are some more wich has extra ones for Blue Mary, Ralf Jones and Clark Still.
It's been a while, bro. I happen to notice you started your own section. At some point I'll get back to making more stages. I'll just wait till your roster fills up a little more.
Hey Vegaz, how are you ? I take a longer time to finish Terry because of some changes in the game's system, spark more and more sprites to make his 3 styles ... this week he will be finished and after that I must update the 3 firts characters before the next release.
Terry is done, I just need to do AI and some modifications for balance and he will be released (next week I think).
Terry'AI done, I work on the balance and bugs... I am changing the coding to combo (will not be in the cmd but in CNS, the combos will be more like in Fatal Fury Real Bout).
System for power and super/hyper changed: now like in SF4, you need half of the power meter to do a super, 2 for more powerfull super and 2 with life under 300 to do an Hyper.
Each normals and specials give more power like in SF4 KOF 13 or Fatal Fury Real Bout, in general you need to hit with 5 specials to complete enough the power to do a super.
This will be great as you include systems from both Street Fighter and Fatal Fury games. The method for using supers with bars will make the battles more challenging aswell. To perform a super, you need to have the amount power the characters needs. That is excellent for sure.

Mark Zuckerberg reportedly made a fake, racist social media profile in Cameron Winklevoss' name

If you believe Ben Mezrich's reporting, young Mark Zuckerberg was a huge asshole. Like, the make a fake and racist social media profile for someone you don't like kind of asshole.
The author of The Accidental Billionaires, the 2009 basis for Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network, is back at it again with some wild claims about the Facebook CEO's early days. Specifically, while promoting his latest book on The Jim Rome Show, Mezrich alleged that Zuckerberg once made a fake online profile for Cameron Winklevoss that just so happened to be sexist and racist.
The book, Bitcoin Billionaires: A True Story of Genius, Betrayal, and Redemption, focuses on both Bitcoin and the Winklevoss twins. In it, Mezrich claims he documents an episode where Zuckerberg hacked the Winklevoss' ConnectU website (previously known as HavardConnection, and the supposed inspiration for Facebook) in order to make a fake account for Cameron. He bases the accusation on Instant Messages that were shared after The Social Network was written.
"Zuckerberg lied to [the Winklevoss twins], he planned on screwing them over," Mezrich explains. "He actually hacked into their program and made a fake profile of Cameron Winklevoss through of all this racist, like sexist, crazy stuff. And all this stuff never came out."
Importantly, while there's no doubt that young Zuckerberg was a piece of work, it's worth taking Mezrich's latest reporting with a grain of salt. While Mashable has not had a chance to review the book ourselves, the New York Times has — and one specific line from said review sticks out.
"And then there is Mezrich's jarring disclosure at the outset that some details and settings described in the book are 'imagined,'" writes the Times' David Enrich. "It is hard to overcome the impression that large swaths of the book fall into that fictional zone."
So, yeah. We don't know if this little tidbit falls into that "imagined" category or not. We do, however, have one definitely not imagined piece of evidence that Zuckerberg was contemptuous of his collegiate contemporaries. In blunt IMs he sent to a friend during the early days of Facebook, which were published by a Silicon Valley gossip blog, he wrote about the personal information Harvard students' provided him.
"People just submitted it," he wrote. "I don't know why. They 'trust me.' Dumb fucks."

YouTube Select: YouTube's new premium advertising program adds connected TV targeting in 2021
LIam Pierrot
Brand advertisers will be able to target TV screen viewing for the first time.
YouTube has relaunched its premium advertising program, now called YouTube Select. The company made the announcement ahead of its Brandcast upfront presentation to advertisers next month.
YouTube Select rolls up the program formerly known as Google Preferred and connected TV viewing into a global offering. Google Preferred allowed advertisers in select markets to target the top 5% of video content in certain categories and was largely focused on the U.S., though it was also available in Canada, the UK and Australia.
Pinterest live events testing in this month with 21 creators
Lineups. YouTube Select packages content in what it calls lineups that are tailored by market for topics such as beauty & fashion, entertainment, technology, sports and more.
An offering called emerging lineups, designed to offer "expanded reach," will feature content in up and coming or niche channels. They'll be available in the U.S. only to start and include brand suitability controls.
Custom sponsorships and programs. are also available to help brands target audiences across top YouTube apps and verticals like YouTube Kids, Sports, Music and Originals.
TV audience targeting. YouTube says more than 100 million people watch YouTube and its over-the-top (OTT) service YouTube TV monthly in the U.S.
To take advantage of this surge, advertisers in the U.S. will be able to target a dedicated streaming TV lineup. The TV lineup will include YouTube Originals, live sports, movies, news and content from popular creators.
The company previously announced Brand Lift measurement on TV screens. It will eventually be available globally for the YouTube app and YouTube TV.
Buying options. Ad buying options will vary by region. Advertisers will be able to buy into some YouTube Select lineups via Google Ads, Display & Video 360 and reservation in many countries, including most countries in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Why we care. Connected TV (CTV) viewing has increased considerably during the COVID-19 pandemic. YouTube Select will help YouTube monetize this new behavior. Brand advertisers can target YouTube Select locally tailored lineups of technology, food & recipe, Spanish, entertainment & pop culture, comedy, music and other content categories. YouTube says global lineups delivered an average awareness lift of 13% and an average purchase intent lift of 9% in 2019.
With an eye toward deal-seekers, Google releases promotions, pricing updates for both advertisers and users this holiday season in 2021

Life and Organizational Leadership
The Power of Exceptions
December 3, 2014 December 3, 2014 | Brian E. Dick, MBA, MA, LPC
When we look at problems – what do we see? Do we see roadblocks, opportunities, or just what is not working?
The way we think about a problem obscures our ability to see anything else.
At times of difficulty, it is hard to see anything that might remotely work. Our bias is to look for a solution, but the solution is often hard to see, or even put together. We think that there should be a linear connection between a problem, and its solution. In our efforts to look for a solution, we fail consider the possible "exceptions" to the problem. In the exceptions lies the potential path to working through an impasse that we might face.
An exception can tell us what we were doing when the problem wasn't happening
"What was happening, or was I doing when the problem wasn't occurring? What was I doing differently when the problem wasn't happening?"
An exception can point the way toward patterns in our environment that offers clues to the solution
"When have I noticed the problem not occurring, what is happening around me that is different?"
An exception may be hypothetical in nature, and help us arrive at novel ideas toward a solution
"If I was solving this problem right now, what would I be doing or experiencing?"
Using an exception helps you consider alternatives that don't necessarily surface at first inspection. By identifying the exceptions to when a problem does not occur, we unlock new possibilities for experimenting with new solutions, ones that are not readily available. The next time, an impasse is reached, try looking at the exception to the problem. Reflect on what you find, and enact new alternatives.

The central emotion of the Gothic
Representing the Craft of Terror, Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho causes the reader to imagine and cross-examine those imaginings. She uses sound and description of surroundings to suggest something that will happen instead of describing it exactly. It gives a feeling of dread and leaves imagination to react upon the few hints that has been dropped. It permits one's imagination to run wild, creating a rush of fear through one.
However, Radcliffe is trying to put across the idea of fear of the unknown, People tend to scare themselves even though the lack of tangible evidence. It is somewhat a straightaway conclusion that the lack of knowledge of something might actually be harmful. Causing shock and disgust, Matthew Lewis's The Monk and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein represent the Chamber of Horror. The protagonist Ambrosio, the 'holiest man of Madrid', was capable of committing one of the seven deadly sins.
It evokes fear, however, it is the idea of how even an omnipotent and omniscient person can succumb to temptation that Lewis tries to put across readers. Lewis' description of the discovery of Agnes appears to be grotesque and repugnant. "A Creature stretched upon a bed of straw, so wretched, so emaciated, so pale, that He doubted to think her Woman. " This shows the thin line between recognition where a human being can be mistaken for a creature. It is conflicting and illogical, making one having questions and doubts about himself.
Mary Shelley has conveyed a theme that has been prevalent through gothic history in Frankenstein: theme of knowledge. Several authors have conveyed the idea that too much knowledge is not always good. Using gothic tendencies, she portrays to the reader that knowledge can be horrifying to a person as they realize and learn all that they do not have but want. The same horror the reader feels when learning about the monster is the same horror the monster feels for him.
The idea of knowledge can also be seen in The Monk where Ambrosio murdered Elvira when she caught him red-handed trying to rape her daughter, Antonia. As shown, the primary aim in gothic literature is more than to evoke fear in the reader. The authors use gothic characteristics of grotesque characters and uncanny situations to warn the reader about a deeper theme. The terror felt by the reader mimics the terror another character is feeling in dealing with the hidden theme.

the reasons that the Athenians and the Spartans formed their rival alliances? Most of us want to do it all. Patronage of the arts Louiss great fortune was in having among his subjects an extraordinary group of men in every area of activity. Another trick is assigning students to read a section and prepare a graphic organizer of the material. Side notes can check comprehension. He knew well how to make use of them. I write a series of very easy questions, which can be answered by reading the section. His heir, the last son of the duke de Bourgogne, was a five-year-old child who was not expected to live. It has become obvious to me over the years that students can discover an infinite number of techniques to destroy or lose a textbook.
He had extended the frontier of France in the north by annexing part of Flanders and in the east by seizing Lorraine and Franche-Comté. Try to avoid bias. Sometimes the guided reading in the supplementary material or even the section review questions in the text will work, but usually I prefer to write my own. It is just that I think that it is too much for one unit of instruction. It is my belief that a significant amount of time in a world history course should be highly structured, teacher directed, and making use of a good textbook.

Q: Extending a class with delegate methods I would like to extend the ASIHTTPRequest class, yes I know it's not being developed anymore, but I have it through out my project and I don't have time to totally replace it yet. My reason for extending it is to provide a list of fail-over hosts.
My question has to do with the ASIHTTPRequest delegate methods, how do I inherit them in my extended class? Do I need to create another protocol?

A: I was in the same situation as you about 8 months ago.  I decided to bite the bullet and switch to AFNetworking and am sure glad I did.  Working with those delegate methods is a pain.  To answer your question, you would have to declare your class as a delegate for the methods you want to handle.
If you need help switching, check out my NetworkClient class that I wrote to replace all the delegate method stuff in ASI.

Instabee has Landed – Budbee, Instabox Deal Closed
Budbee and Instabox are happy to announce that the deal combining the companies under the new holding company Instabee was closed today after approval from the Swedish Competition Authority. This combination creates a new challenger, ready to take on the European market.
Instabee can now start combining Budbee and Instabox's pooled resources, expertise, and know-how to keep transforming last-mile deliveries and challenge traditional players across Europe.
"I'm very pleased to receive this decision and excited to get to work shaping the future of Instabee. Our ambition is clear, to grow internationally and to do it with a healthy profit. My first task will be to get to know the team at Instabox and look under the hood of all the great solutions they have created", says Fredrik Hamilton, CEO of Instabee.
As a joint entity, Budbee and Instabox can create a more efficient and sustainable operations flow. By using fewer vehicles and terminals to deliver parcels, the pace toward a minimized CO2 footprint is accelerated.
Instabox's founder and new Executive Chairman of Instabee, Alexis Priftis, comments:
"We expect to see better economies of scale for Instabee, resulting in better financial and sustainability outcomes. I see great potential for us going forward, both short and long term, and know we will be well-positioned to create something extraordinary."
Updates about the integration will be published on the website instabee.com.
