We were up and out the door earlier than usual yesterday because I had an appointment to drop our Ford Explorer off at Leon's, a local family-owned garage that does all of our automotive repair. Last week our 2005 Ford Explorer's check engine light came on. It was running fine, but I like to take care of little problems before they become big problems.
I stopped at a local auto parts store and had them plug their scanner in and do a free check. But the young lady working there didn't seem to have any idea what she was doing. When she got done with the scan and looked up the code she told me that either I needed an EGR valve or else I needed to replace the transmission. Since the two things are very different, I asked her how the code could indicate two such different problems. She said she didn't know, it was the first time she had ever scanned a vehicle and since she was the only one on duty at the store I should probably take it to a garage. Yeah, I think so. I called Leon's and made an appointment for this week and dropped it off yesterday morning a little before 9 AM.
Terry followed me in our Ford pickup, and since we were already out, we went to the Sand Bar Café in New Smyrna Beach for breakfast. This is a friendly restaurant that's only open for breakfast and lunch and it was just our second time eating there, but we were impressed both times. Terry had a vegetarian omelet and I had a Belgian waffle with strawberries and cream. Yummy.
When I dropped the Explorer off I told the folks at Leon's not to rush because we have two other vehicles, so if they needed to get somebody else out the door first, that was fine. Rebecca, the granddaughter of the man who started the business, called a little before 5 PM to say that it was the EGR valve and they had ordered a replacement. It should be finished and ready to pick up sometime later today.
It's also about time to put new tires on the Explorer so I have to plan on that before too much longer. They're not bald or even close to it, but they're getting down to the point where they're going to need some attention. Again, I like to take care of little problems before they become big problems.
Somebody asked how long I was going to let the SUV nickel and dime us to death. Probably for a long time yet, since it's not that many nickels and not that many dimes compared to buying something else. The Explorer has around 136,000 miles on it, not counting another 50,000 or 60,000 miles that we towed it behind our motorhome. It's a very comfortable ride with every option available in that model year, and we like it. And best of all, it's paid off. I'd rather pay a few hundred bucks in repairs now and then than pay many hundreds of dollars in car payments every month for something comparable.
The Explorer is the vehicle we drive on a daily basis, while Terry's 2017 Chrysler Pacifica sits in the garage except when we make out of town trips. And as for the 1999 Ford pickup? Every guy should have a pickup, right? It comes in handy all the time when we are picking up materials for home improvement projects, or like yesterday when we needed two vehicles. Besides, it looks real good towing my pontoon boat down to the water.
It's Thursday, so it's time for a new Free Drawing. This week's prize is a box set of my good friend Mona Ingram's The Women of Independence e-books, with four stand-alone stories of women who deal with life and love in the small town of Independence, British Columbia.

Thought For The Day – When I was a child, I thought nap time was punishment. Now it feels like a mini vacation.
Yep. I know what you mean about the lesser of two evils…repairs vs new vehicle. Sigh. I guess it's almost time to trade in my '63 Ford Falcon.
Dextero. Don't discount them. I have had them on my 1995 Tahoe for just at 2.5 years and my 1999 Tahoe for 1 year, I would (without hesitation) purchase them again.
I like to keep cars a long time too. Partly because if I have one I like it's hard to replace. Now they've made the Foresters bigger (and then smaller again- more sporty and not so tough), so not sure what I'll do next.
yep i have a few of them myself.

Understanding how particular impairments affect individuals will help you to support them. It is important that you discuss the matter with the student, who is likely to have considerable experience of studying with their impairment. This may sound obvious, but this step is often missed.
It is essential to be discreet and sensitive; not all students will want their condition or impairment widely known in their college or faculty. Generally, you won't need medical information, and details of how the student is affected will suffice. There may be occasions when you find it useful to familiarise yourself with the effects of a particular condition, and with the effects of drug and other therapies used to manage it.
The Student Support Documents, which are developed by the Disability Resource Centre's team of specialist Disablity Advisers, contain a short section that indicates how the student's impairment affects their ability to study.
Further information about various conditions and details of appropriate support while at university can also be found by following the navigation links on the left. We also provide some key support actions below.

Global Economic Crisis
Is our world going through another 1930s Great Depression? Commentary on the Global Economic Crisis by Sheldon Filger

Will Al-Qaeda Nuke America?
May 14th, 2009 Comments off
It has been nearly eight years since Al-Qaeda struck the United States on September 11, 2001. In the aftermath of that transformational event, some have speculated that a future strike on the U.S. by Osama bin Laden would be more devastating, involving perhaps a nuclear weapon. This apocalyptic scenario has been the plot of various novels, including my own nuclear terrorism thriller, "King of Bombs" (information at http://www.kingofbombs.com). However, the passage of nearly a decade has lulled some into a state of complacency. Could it be that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were right in deciding to invade Iraq? After all, it was their rationale (after no weapons of mass destruction were found) that fighting in Iraq meant the United States did not have to fight Al-Qaeda in the homeland. Could that be why Al-Qaeda has not launched a second attack on the homeland, after eight years?
In evaluating the possibility of future Al-Qaeda operations in the United States, it is useful to look back at an earlier plot that predated 9/11. On February 26, 1993 an Islamist radical cell linked to what would eventually be known as Al-Qaeda detonated 1,500 pounds of explosive material, consisting of oil and nitrates, in the underground parking garage at the World Trade Center. The resulting explosion killed six and injured more than 1,000. As destructive as this attack was, it did not fulfill the tactical and strategic objectives of the perpetrators.
The intention of the attackers was to bring down one of the Twin Towers in such as manner that it would topple over its twin, resulting in mass casualties and destruction. However, many mistakes were made by the plotters, ensuring that the detonation would not bring about the collapse of the building, while leaving a trail of forensic clues which would lead to the eventual apprehension of most of the plotters of the attack.
It would be more than eight years before Al-Qaeda struck again, with vastly more devastating results. Until 9/11, there was a level of complacency that inhibited American policymakers from correctly evaluating the threat of a jihadist cell striking at the American homeland, despite repeated and successful Al-Qaeda attacks directed at American targets overseas. This intellectual myopia on the part of U.S. decision-makers would be described in the official report of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission as a "failure of imagination." Could history be repeating itself?
The American government, during the Clinton and subsequent Bush administrations, failed to recognize that Al-Qaeda was a transnational terrorist organization unlike any other. Furthermore, policymakers ignored clear threats by the leadership of Al-Qaeda to attack the American homeland. Several of these warning were issued personally by Osama bin-Laden to international journalists.
Since 9/11, Al-Qaeda has launched dozens of attacks throughout the world. This figure does not include Iraq and Afghanistan, where the number certainly runs into the hundreds, if not thousands. The jihadist followers of Osama bin-Laden have struck targets in diverse regions including Europe, North and East Africa, Turkey, the Philippines and Indonesia. On October 12, 2002 a jihadist group linked to Al-Qaeda attacked three targets on the Indonesian Island of Bali, including a bar frequented by European and Australian tourists, killing more than 200. On March 11, 2004 Al-Qaeda set off multiple bombs on Spanish trains in Madrid, killing nearly 200. On July 7, 2005 Al-Qaeda operatives trained in Pakistan detonated bombs that struck London's transit system, resulting in 52 fatalities and hundreds of injuries. These are but a few of a long list of murderous terrorist operations successfully carried out by Al-Qaeda since 9/11.
Based solely on operational tempo, Al-Qaeda's capability to mount attacks worldwide appears intact. There are indications that it may even have grown substantially. Experts who monitor Al-Qaeda believe two factors have contributed to the enhancement of this terrorist organization's capacity. In the first place, Al-Qaeda has developed a sophisticated capability to utilize the Internet as a recruitment tool as well as an operational asset. Thousands of jihadist websites spread the message of Osama bin-Laden's Islamist ideology to a large segment of disaffected Muslims, especially among immigrants in Europe. Secondly, the Iraq war is believed by many to have energized Al-Qaeda, and attracted support and sympathy throughout the Islamic world.
Some defenders of the Bush administration's decision to invade and occupy Iraq maintain that the war has made America safer, by attracting jihadists who would otherwise come to America to wage warfare. However, in testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in 2005, then CIA Director Porter J. Goss stated that, "these jihadists who survive will leave Iraq experienced and focused on acts of urban terrorism. They represent a potential pool of contacts to build transnational terrorist cells, groups and networks."
In 2007 the National Intelligence Estimate, reflecting the consensus view of America's intelligence gathering agencies, concluded that Al-Qaeda had reconstituted its command and control infrastructure in sanctuary areas inside Pakistan, astride the border with Afghanistan. Ominously, the NIE concluded that:
"We assess that Al-Qaeda's homeland plotting is likely to continue to focus on prominent political, economic, and infrastructure targets with the goal of producing mass casualties, visually dramatic destruction, significant economic aftershocks, and/or fear among the U.S. population. The group is proficient with conventional small arms and improvised explosive devices, and is innovative in creating new capabilities and overcoming security obstacles. We assess that Al-Qaeda will continue to try to acquire and employ chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear material in attacks and would not hesitate to use them if it develops what it deems is sufficient capability."
Looking back at the 8-year interval between the attacks on the World Trade Center and the subsequent eight years, we observe a number of key characteristics about Al-Qaeda and its leadership. Osama bin-Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, are utterly committed to the victory of their interpretation of Islam, which means the reestablishment of a united Islamic caliphate ruled under strict shariah law. An essential preliminary to achieving this historic triumph, in their view, is the expulsion of all "infidel" influence within the Islamic world, meaning principally the United States, and the emasculation of America's economic power. While this goal seems preposterous to an American mind, within the context of Islamist radicalism Osama bin-Laden has articulated a rational and cogent strategy for achieving his aims.
Al-Qaeda and its senior leadership think in terms of a long timeframe for achieving their goals. Patience characterizes their operational planning, particularly involving major targets. Thus, in their mode of thinking, eight years was a reasonable period of time to improve upon their first attack on the World Trade Center mounted in 1993.
The 9/11 attack displayed ruthless execution and bold planning. It also established a benchmark for future attacks on America, with a far higher threshold of destruction required then what Al-Qaeda customarily inflicts during its attacks in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Indonesia. Anytime since 9/11, Al-Qaeda could have attacked transit systems, shopping malls and other "soft targets" in the United States. However, such terrorist incidents would be purely tactical, lacking any strategic consequences. Al-Qaeda has probably determined that any future attack on America, to be viewed as successful and strategic, must exceed the level of carnage inflicted on 9/11 by a significant degree. That is probably why the National Intelligence Estimate released in 2007 emphasized the likelihood that Al-Qaeda is planning to hit the American homeland again, possibly with a weapon of mass destruction.
When Osama bin-Laden attacked the World Trade Center and Pentagon on 9/11, he had a strategic objective clearly in mind. Mass casualties were the means to his goal, rather then the ends. By inflicting a shock on the American psyche of such dramatic proportions, he sought to induce the United States to militarily intervene in Afghanistan, repeating the experience of the former Soviet Union. He anticipated that a long, drawn-out war of attrition would demoralize the United States, cripple her economy and lead to its collapse, replicating what occurred to the Soviet Union. What he did not anticipate was that the U.S. would only send a small expeditionary force to Afghanistan, while devoting the bulk of its military resources towards the subjugation of Iraq, whose ruling regime had no connection with the events of September 11, 2001. In that sense, the strategic value of the consequences of 9/11 for Al-Qaeda probably exceeded their highest expectations.
In planning for its next attack on the United States, Al-Qaeda would seek to inflict a loss of such staggering proportions that it would again impel the United States into behaviors that would serve its ultimate existential goals. To achieve such an aim with conventional means, such as ordinary explosives or airplanes (as on 9/11) is probably an unlikely scenario. As suggested by the NIE on Al-Qaeda planning for a future operation on U.S. soil, it is likely that Osama bin-Laden is exploring ways of utilizing a weapon of mass destruction in a future attack.
The NIE speculates on the means of WMD that Al-Qaeda may be focusing on. Though biological and chemical weapons are possibilities, they are unlikely to be used by Al-Qaeda. These weapons are notoriously difficult to employ, as demonstrated in a terrorist attack on the Tokyo subway involving nerve gas. More importantly, while such weapons may, under certain circumstances, be deadly, they limit their effect to people, while leaving property intact. Al-Qaeda's methodology and doctrine stresses physical damage along with loss of human life. The iconic image of the twin towers dissolving on 9/11 was more valuable to Al-Qaeda then the actual number of fatalities. For those same reasons, a radiological weapon, commonly dubbed a "dirty bomb," also would not be of much interest to Al-Qaeda.
If Al-Qaeda is planning a future attack on America that will exceed 9/11 in its impact, there is a high probability that this operation would involve the detonation of a nuclear weapon in a major urban center within the continental United States. The capacity for even a crude nuclear weapon to inflict vast carnage and destruction within a densely populated city is unmatched by any other weapon or scenario that Al-Qaeda could conceivably employ. Captured documents and other anecdotal information point to a very high level of longstanding interest by Osama bin Laden in nuclear weapons.
In recent years, both Osama bin-Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri have issued repeated warnings that America would face attacks worse than 9/11, unless it fulfilled all of Al-Qaeda's demands, including withdrawal of its physical presence from anywhere defined as Islamic territory. In an Internet broadcast message, al-Zawahiri warned, "You are facing the Islamic rage … what awaits you, should you press on, is far worse than anything you have seen."
In a macabre video marking the sixth anniversary of 9/11, Osama bin Laden offered a chilling message. Warning the American people that they were responsible for the continuation of the Iraq war by virtue of having reelected President Bush, he went on to propose two alternatives for ending America's involvement in Iraq: "The first is from our side, and it is to continue to escalate the killing and fighting against you. The second way is to reject America's democratic system and convert to Islam…I invite you to embrace Islam."
By fulfilling all of the theological requirements for a future attack on America, it appears that Osama bin-Laden is laying the groundwork for something "far worse" than 9/11. While his call for Americans to "embrace Islam" seems irrational to a Western mindset, in the context of Osama bin-Laden's world this is a supremely rational act for a jihadist warrior to undertake. Having provided fair warning and an opportunity to convert to his enemy, he no longer feels any moral restraint on inflicting the ultimate destruction on the American homeland.
As reflected in the NIE referred to earlier, the American intelligence community has high confidence that if Al-Qaeda ever acquired a nuclear weapon, they would unquestionably use it against an American target. Those within leadership circles who downplay the threat of nuclear terrorism from Al-Qaeda claim that it is beyond the capability of Al-Qaeda to manufacture or otherwise obtain such weapons. Unfortunately, there is much expert opinion that holds a contrary view.
It may be difficult for Al-Qaeda to acquire an intact nuclear weapon, though not inconceivable. It is known that during the break-up of the former Soviet Union, much of that nation's nuclear arsenal was insecure. Rumors have circulated for many years that during that chaotic period, Al-Qaeda obtained several Soviet nuclear weapons through the black market. It is impossible to know if that in fact happened, though another possible source of intact nuclear weapons is Pakistan, a nuclear-armed state that happens to be where the top Al-Qaeda leadership is believed to be in hiding. At present, a radical Islamist uprising is underway in significant parts of Pakistan, eroding the stability of the nation's fledgling civilian government.
A more likely scenario involves Al-Qaeda making its own nuclear bombs. Though challenging, this would be within the capability of an organization with the proven sophistication of Al-Qaeda. Much of the information on making nuclear devices is within the public domain, and it is known that Osama bin-Laden met personally with two senior scientists involved with Pakistan's nuclear weapons establishment, prior to 9/11. The barrier to building a nuclear bomb is not technical know-how but materials. Atomic weapons require fissile materials, either uranium 235 or plutonium. These materials require a national industrial infrastructure to create, so Al-Qaeda cannot fabricate fissile materials on its own.
Unfortunately, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, a vast quantity of fissile materials became dangerously insecure, vulnerable to theft or being sold by the Russian Mafia. The U.S. Congress recognized the danger, and provided funding for a program that assists the Russians in improving security at facilities that store nuclear weapons and fissile materials. In the many years that this program has been in existence, only half of the insecure Russian nuclear sites have had their security upgraded. At the present rate of funding and implementation, it may be another 10 years before the remaining nuclear sites are secure, though the Obama administration has demonstrated a far higher level of concern on this issue than the previous Bush presidency. In addition, there are many other sites throughout the world, including the United States, which store fissile materials under less than optimum security. It would be an act of extreme optimism to believe that Al-Qaeda will sit and wait ten years until all these nuclear sites have upgraded their security arrangements. Possibly, Al-Qaeda might already have such materials in its possession. Depending on the design of the bomb, as little as 35 pounds of uranium 235 would be needed to build a device with a yield similar to the weapon that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. Should Al-Qaeda actually build such a weapon, it is highly unlikely that it would be detected by present security protocols and technology, should a jihadist cell seek to surreptitiously insert it into the United States. Contrary to public perception, nuclear weapons emit little radiation, which can be easily shielded. Once inside American borders, Al-Qaeda could deliver a nuclear bomb to any city by van or SUV.
Should a nuclear bomb ever be detonated in an American city, the carnage would defy our imagination. It is estimated that a ten-kiloton device, less powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, detonated in mid-town Manhattan during the workday, would immediately kill approximately 500,000 people. A similar number would be fated to die in the following days and weeks from the effects of radiation poisoning. Beyond the immensity of the carnage and destruction, America would be irreversibly transformed. Fear would dominate the country, with tens of millions of Americans contemplating the evacuation of their cities, uncertain if other bombs exist and would be detonated. Economic paralysis would ensue as the borders closed, while the financial markets, already weakened by the current Global Economic Crisis, would completely collapse. Civil liberties would be largely suspended, as the nation entered a new Dark Age, in which survival would take precedence over liberty. Likely, America's relationship with the world would be radically transformed in manner that suited Al-Qaeda's ultimate agenda.
In an interview conducted with the journalist Robert Fisk in 1997, Osama bin-Laden made his ultimate objective regarding the United States unambiguously clear. "I pray to God that He permits us to turn America into a shadow of itself," the Al-Qaeda leader told Fisk.
While knowledgeable national security specialists take seriously the threat of weapons of mass destruction being employed in any future Al-Qaeda atrocity on American soil, outside their small circle this vital issue of national survival has barely seeped into the public consciousness Yet, should Al-Qaeda actually detonate a nuclear weapon in an American city, the entire world as we know it would cease to exist.

A novel pathway to target colorectal cancer
While the emergence of precision medicine and immunotherapy has greatly improved outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer, new approaches are still needed for patients with late-stage disease who do not respond to these therapies.
According to the American Cancer Society, patients who present with stage 4 colorectal cancer have a five-year survival rate of only 14%.
Therefore, researchers are interested in finding new ways to try to inhibit colorectal tumour growth.
Prostaglandin E2, or PGE2, promotes metastasis of colorectal cancer through a microRNA, MIR675, report researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in an article published in Gastroenterology.
In the study funded by the National Institutes of Health, the MUSC researchers showed that mice treated with PGE2 in a preclinical model of colorectal cancer had vastly more metastatic lesions in the liver and lung than untreated mice.
This preclinical evidence suggests that targeting the microRNA could have some therapeutic potential.
"We're still learning more about some of the pathways involved in the development and progression of colorectal cancer," said Raymond N. DuBois, M.D., Ph.D., a noted cancer researcher, dean of the College of Medicine at MUSC and senior author on the article. "I think this is one example where a microRNA could be targeted in a therapeutic way in a subset of patients."
PGE2 is thought to promote tumour cell proliferation, survival and migration.
To investigate how PGE2 does this in colorectal cancer, DuBois and the other MUSC investigators, who included first author Bo Cen, Ph.D., a research assistant professor in the DuBois laboratory, performed a screen on colorectal cancer cells treated with PGE2 to detect if there were any changes following treatment.
"We found that many microRNAs changed in response to treatment," explained Cen. "We focused on MIR675-5p because its levels increased more than any other in response to PGE2 treatment."
A microRNA is a small RNA molecule that can silence the expression of certain genes.
In this case, MIR675-5p can suppress the expression of p53.
P53 is one of the most well-known genes in cancer because it enables production of a protein that can put the brakes on cell division.
However, cancer can be clever and find ways to suppress p53 so that cells can continue to divide uncontrollably.
The researchers next identified a potential site on p53 to which MIR675-5p could bind.
Then, investigators confirmed that MIR675-5p suppresses p53 to promote metastasis.
In a preclinical colorectal cancer model, mice were treated with PGE2 or a vehicle control.
Mice treated with PGE2 were found to have more metastases compared to the control.
Further, tumour cells in the group of mice treated with PGE2 had increased expression of MIR675-5p and decreased expression of p53, confirming that PGE2 promotes tumour progression through MIR675-5p and p53.
"We found that PGE2 was able to decrease the expression of p53, which is a very well-known tumour suppressor, and we found it was able to do this by increasing the expression of MIR675-5p," said Cen.
Next, the researchers plan to analyse samples from patients with different stages of colorectal cancer and investigate how levels of PGE2 and MIR675-5p correlate with prognosis or response to therapy.
"Ultimately, we discovered a key mechanism by which PGE2 promotes tumour development and progression," said DuBois. "These findings provide important preclinical evidence that microRNA could possibly be targeted in a therapeutic way to treat a subset of patients."

What shall become of SOTW?
Post subject: Re: What shall become of SOTW?
I'd enter just for a trophy that says "Hairy Munky - SOTUPOTTWBPUFVF Winner #X"
don't think anyone really cares what you do with it now. just get rid of it. one less thing to worry about.
And no Ranging God, I'm not Mongolian.
everyone will be like omfg need to make a sig only 1 day!!!!!!!
I think dropping it would be one of the best choices. If it must stay, then I agree with just leaving it open and putting them up for judge occasionally.
Also being an ex-sotw judge, and also an ex-design crew member. Seeing how graphics have pretty much disappeared on our forums I think the best thing to do would to just delete it and if it happens to explode again...aka people posting alot more in Graphics Central then give it a shot to see how many people. I mean as of right now your grinding tooth and nail just to get a few entrants in it. In my opinion I dont think Cheif should be waiting around checking his SOTW post to see if anyone has put an effort to put something in there...whether its good or *******.
I believe I came up with an idea a long time ago.
As was said in your topic, we alread had a Graphics Battle forum which was deleted due to lack of activity, even before SOTW slowed down.
Graphics Central is enough for this community. Since it's hardly active I'd get rid of it. People can go to other communities for that stuff, like maybe a graphics community for instance lol. This is a RuneScape community. The graphics central sub-forum will suffice.
let sotw die, rename skill of the month from skotm to sotm.
I completely agree with kennys idea/great name lol.
Thanks for all your thoughts guys. We'll be taking everything into consideration and making some decisions over the next week or so. Meanwhile if you think of anything more to add, feel free to send me a PM.


'Does practice make perfect in Place?'.
This article aims contextualise the issues of our experiences at Bridgend Inspiring Growth, within the framework of broader issues of placemaking and community-led development. It supports the concept of people as instrumental to effective use of places and space. In this way, it can help shed light on a more holistic view of place.
Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Placemaking, both as a process and a philosophy, capitalizes on a local community's assets. This includes a project's wider inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well-being. It is political due to the nature of place identity.
There is a shift in our emphasis today to involve communities in the process of deciding what they want and need and often with local people taking responsibility for delivering the end results themselves. Community empowerment, asset transfer and land reform are slowly influencing how places are created and/or regenerated; through consultation and consensus local decisions are arrived at and implemented.
What are the aims of, and issues faced by Bridgend Inspiring Growth?
Bridgend Inspiring Growth (BIG) is a local voluntary group supported by contracted professionals working towards the development and restoration of Bridgend farmhouse, Edinburgh, to become a community-owned and led multi-purpose space to promote sustainable living practices and outdoor learning. These dual allied aims help root the development of the project in social and socially sustainable aims and outcomes.
The path faced by community-led development teams is seldom a smooth one, though issues like the recent advent of the Community Empowerment Bill in Scotland and Community Asset Transfer mechanisms are helping change the landscape for the better. Regards BIG's journey, in the Spring of this year councillors at City of Edinburgh Council Economy Committee overturned a previous recommendation and voted unanimously to lease Bridgend Farmhouse to BIG for 12 months, and agreed to sell the farmhouse to BIG after that period, on confirmation of BIG Lottery Growing Community Assets Stage 2 funding.
BIG is now at the stage of appointing an architect as lead building professional to take the project to statutory planning approval, alongside Business plan development work by a Project Management team. This means the project will be both financially viable as a build and economically sustainable as a built project, as it continues to the construction of capital build stage, pending submission of a successful Stage 2 Lottery funding bid.
How does BIG specifically engage the community in placemaking?
BIG has been drawing on community input as a generation for ideas for the built environment and landscape for the development project, as well as the securing of the property, from the start of the project. In this way, the on-going process of the making of the place has had the community element embedded into its design philosophy and evolution.
An initial design feasibility study by Malcolm Fraser architects built on the core values of the place from the project visioning, as founded on the three core functions of learning, eating and exercise. These will be used as a foundation for informing the programmatic use of spaces within the detailed design brief in the concept design stages.
Aspirations regard the building end-uses and users have been much more than words from the outset. BIG has engaged the community in a series of participatory design workshops as well as over a dozen publically-funded extra-curricular classes based around all these core activities, run by a dedicated community development worker. BIG's project is at an interim stage in its development, and the role of the community will be central at all stages.
What conclusions can be drawn for the role of community groups in placemaking and strengthening communities and their assets?
Given the complexities inherent in placemaking as an ideology and practice, it is inevitable that testing is necessary to get it right. Housing developments and town centres tend to have little community input to their design and operation, and token processes to engage local people and potential users.
In BIG's case, rather than tick-box exercise or afterthought, community engagement is an integral part to shaping the place via its input into both the design process and the eventual function and use of the building. Considered use of the community as a resource for both the process and philosophy of a build project is key to its establishment as a successful, socially sustainable place.
Short-termism, quick fixes and the satisfaction of short-term goals or financial rewards are barriers to holistic thinking. There are arguments that communities, often generating their own financial resources, are more sustainable custodians of the future of their local places in that they will be there for the duration rather than the next political term or priority.
The writers are working on BIG's project as part of the Business Development Project Management Team led by CaskieCo. CaskieCo is a community development agency that works with community groups to acquire assets and develop community enterprises.

Triple Golf Challenge – Three Outstanding Courses in North Dakota!
Play these 3 outstanding golf courses at a very special rate. Experience the best golfing to be had in North Dakota with these 3 incredible golf courses.The Links of North Dakota, along with Hawktree Golf Club and the Bully Pulpit Golf Course brings North Dakota world-class golf for all players. Once again all three golf courses are offering a 3-Round Punch Card good for one 18-hole round of golf at each golf course to be used for green fees during the calendar year. Golfers can choose to walk or rent a cart with the use of the card by their choice.
This card costs $165 (plus tax) and can be purchased at any of the three golf courses. If golfers wish to use golf carts, they will be responsible for golf cart fees on site when they check in. This card is good anytime during the season purchased. If you have any questions, please call us at 701-568-2600 for more information.
The Links' breathtaking setting and its immaculately manicured course, provides an ideal and unforgettable golf experience. One of the purest examples of links style golf ever built in the US. Come experience as it was intended to be played.
This natural, rolling true links design harkens back to the birth of the game – golf as it should be played- in a truly magnificent setting along the bluffs and banks overlooking sprawling Lake Sakakawea. In true links fashion, uneven lies and wind will challenge every aspect of your game. Architect Stephen Kay moved a minimal amount of soil to create one of the purest links courses on this side of the Atlantic.
The Links of North Dakota is not merely for the highly skilled golfer, 5 sets of tees ranging from 5,249 to 7,092 yards will accommodate players of all ability levels.
Hawktree Golf Club, built in 2000, is a nationally ranked public golf course by Golf Digest and Golfweek. The course is highlighted by elevation changes and black sand in the bunkers. The Jim Engh-designed course has 18 unique holes that you never get tired of playing. With four different sets of tees, combining eight different course yardages, golfers of all abilities can enjoy playing the course.
Hawktree is the only course in North Dakota to use a GPS system in its golf carts that give exact yardages to the flag stick. To practice and work on your game, Hawktree has a great full-length driving range with two practice putting greens, a chipping green and a practice sand bunker. The professional staff is PGA-trained with extensive training in teaching and club-fitting.
The public restaurant has one of the best views in all of North Dakota. Just by turning your head, you can see 14 of the holes and all the beautiful scenery. The restaurant serves great food, highlighted by burgers, wraps and grinders. Beautiful at sunrise and sunset, The Hawk is calling….
Historic Medora has added a new dimension to their attractions at this old west destination – a championship caliber golf course named in the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt called the Bully Pulpit Golf Course.
Course designer, Dr. Michael Hurdzan, has created a golf course in the area just south of Medora along the Little Missouri River Bottoms and up into the Badlands that provides golfers of all levels a fantastic golfing experience. The 18-hole course plays to a par-72 and you have the choice of five tee boxes from which to challenge this course.
The course gives players different looks from the walkable Little Missouri bottoms to the challenging elevation changes and dramatic setting of the holes in the Badlands section of the course. The course measures 7413 yards from the Black tees, 6897 yards from the Gold tees, 6449 yards from the Blue tees, 5834 yards from the Silver tees and 5000 yards from the Green tees. The only thing harder than keeping your eye on the ball as you play here will be keeping your eyes off the spectacular scenery surrounding the area in which this course is laid out.

Love Minsmere this World Wetlands Day
RSPB asks EDF to Love Minsmere as reserve celebrates World Wetlands Day
Rupert Masefield @RSPBMinsmere
To mark World Wetlands Day this Saturday, the RSPB has released a new video appealing to the public to call on EDF Energy to protect Minsmere nature reserve's vital wetland habitats.
2 February each year is World Wetlands Day, raising global awareness of the vital importance of wetlands for people and our planet.
On 2 February 1971 the Convention on Wetlands was adopted in the Iranian city of Ramsar. Today the world's most important wetlands are designated Ramsar sites.
Minsmere-Walberswick wetland has been a Ramsar site since 1976.
This World Wetlands Day, the RSPB is asking EDF Energy to give public assurances that this internationally important wetland will be protected in plans for a new nuclear power plant next door.
Since 4 January, more than 5,600 people have supported the RSPB's campaign, asking EDF to keep Minsmere safe.
The RSPB's chief concerns about EDF's Sizewell C proposals are:
The impact of noise and artificial light from such a massive construction on rare wildlife that is very sensitive to such disturbance, particularly marsh harriers - one of the UK's rarest birds.
The impact on RSPB's ability to manage water levels on the reserve, that is vital for managing the reedbeds and other freshwater habitats that are home to rare wildlife like otters, bitterns and avocets.
The potential erosion of Minsmere's coastline, which could accelerate when you build new coastal structures. This could pose a significant threat to Minsmere's special freshwater and coastal wildlife.
The conservation charity is calling on EDF to
Make a public statement promising that Minsmere will be protected from any potential harm from the development of Sizewell C.
Fully assess the impact that Sizewell C could have on Minsmere's habitats and wildlife.
Publish a clear plan outlining how EDF will address any potential impacts of Sizewell C on Minsmere.
The RSPB is reviewing the environmental information in the Stage 3 consultation documents before submitting its own detailed response.
Read the RSPB's position briefing on Sizewell C at rspb.org.uk/sizewellc
To tell EDF to "Love Minsmere" visit loveminsmere.org to send a response to their public consultation on Sizewell C. The consultation ends on 29 March.

Help protect Minsmere on World Wetlands Day


Informative video by Armslist Media . However, the heavy machine gun (HMG) featured here is not a DShK (Degtyaryov-Shpagin "Large Caliber"), but is a modern Chinese derivative called the QJC-88.
In the Chinese military service, the QJC-88 is exclusively a vehicle mounted 12.7mm heavy machine gun for the Armor Corp. The Infantry Corp uses a completely different family of 12.7mm HMG that uses direct-gas impingement or direct gas-recoil operation.
The Degtyaryov and Shpagin designs are still alive in the QJC-88. The milled receiver is similar to the DShK, but it's shorter and has been lightened up. The QJC-88's feed-tray features the iconic sprocket arm of the Shpagin design. Interestingly, the smaller tangent rear sight is attached to the feed-tray on the QJC-88, instead of the tall flip-up slider-type rear sight that mouns on the receiver of the DShK.
The QJC-88 HMG weighs 40.7 pounds (18.5 kg) gun only, while the DShK HMG weighs 74.8 pounds (34 kg) with receiver and the barrel installed.
The QJC-88's bolt group mostly resembles that of the DShK but with two big differences. The gas piston up front has more self-cleaning rings and the gas regulator on the barrel is much easier to access than the one found on the DShK. However, the biggest difference is in the locking mechanism. The QJC-88 uses a pair of smaller Kjellman locking flaps (pronounce Shellman, by the way). The Kjellman flaps are smaller with a more complex shape and open from the front, compared to the larger straight-shaped rear opening Degtyaryov flaps.
Another major improvement on the QJC-88 is the ability for a real quick barrel change. The barrel on the DShk is not so quick to change since it requires the use of tools (a wrench and a hammer) to remove the barrel locking bolt. The QJC-88's barrel also uses a 1-piece combo gas block and front sight, compared to the separated pinned front sight and gas block on the DShK.
A closer look of the QJC-88's feed-tray shows that it is shorter and has a more compact layout than that of the DShK's, and it has its sprocket arm forward of the ammo belt slot, as opposed to being located behind the ammo belt slot like the DShK.
The QJC-88 is designed to be vehicle mounted only. Its trigger is attached to a cable extension or an electric solenoid, and the charging handle on this armored vehicle cupola mount is a slot-machine handle-like lever.
The round box on top houses a reflex optical sight. The firing trigger is a cable squeeze-lever, somewhat like the clutch lever on a motorcycle, and it is located on the left side handle bar. The right handle bar is actually also the crank lever for the elevation mechanism.
Overall, the QJC-88 is definitely based on the DShk but with a lot of modernization and weight reduction; very similar to what FN has done with the AN/M2 and AN/M3 series (including all the newer GAU models), which both were developed from the original Browning M2 50-cal heavy machine gun. The AN stands for Army-Navy, and both series were designed for aircraft use with a narrower and lighter receiver, modified bolt and feed-tray.
The newest QJK99 version that is made for remote weapon station (RWS) mount has a very heavy barrel, is completely lacking of any iron sights, and the mechanical trigger has been replaced by an electric solenoid firing mechanism. The cylinder above barrel is likely a remotely operated actuator for cocking and clearing the weapon, and the device's function is to push back the bolt group while turning the modified ammo belt feeder at the same time.


Let me set the scene for you. You wake up and are getting ready for your day. It may have been a rough morning getting everyone up and going, or even getting yourself somewhat presentable. You're about to walk out the door. What are those last minute items you grab as you walk out?
If you're anything like my boyfriend, headphones are a must-have daily accessory and he's never on the go without his Krankz Audio Classic Wireless Bluetooth Headphones.
No matter how rough your morning has been, the right music will always make it better. Music works the same way as coffee, once it hits your soul, you're a different person. Around here, daddy has it pretty rough in the mornings.
Getting a 5 year old up and ready for school should be easy, but when your kid just wants to sit on his bed and daydream, it's not as simple a task as it seems. Not to mention the commute into the city every day for work. So when daddy leaves for the day, you better believe he's got headphones in hand, ready for that music to hit his soul.
When he's on the go, he's on the go with Krankz Audio. Their Classic Wireless Bluetooth Headphones have been a great addition to my boyfriend's daily essentials. From how easy they are to connect to the phone, to having no cords attached, and the sound quality is off the charts.
Incredibly clear and powerful sound.
Adjustable slider headpiece and conforming earpieces.
Collapsible earpieces for more compact travel.
Automatic call notification for easily switching between music audio and phone calls when paired to your smart phone.
Easy playback. Instead of digging around for your music player or phone when you want to change a song, or answer a call, use the intuitive headset controls on your ear cup for managing your listening experience.
Stream audio from your laptop or any other Bluetooth-enabled device, even TV's, from up to 30 feet away.
Some of the most notable features that can be realized right away is how lightweight and comfortable the headset is. Compared to other headphones he's tried, my boyfriend really likes that Krankz Audio Wireless Bluetooth Headphones feel lighter. It's less stress when carrying and even wearing.
And the earpieces, along with some lining on the inner headpiece, are super soft. Even I've had my fair share of headphones that are horribly designed, to the point the earpieces literally hurt my ears. Not these! Krankz can be worn all day without a second thought.
I do want to add, though, that some people may find the earpieces to be a little small. I think it really comes down to personal preference and also the fact that we don't all have the same size ears. With that being said, the sound quality is still like no other, whether you prefer larger earpieces or not.
The headphones even feature controls on the right earpiece. So when you get to your jam, you know that one song that really gets you going and you could listen to all day, you don't have to dig around for your phone to listen to it on repeat. Just use the controls on the headphones. There's nothing like hands-free listening and for my boyfriend, it makes his morning commute on the bus and subway much easier.
Regularly $129.99, Krankz Audio Classic Wireless Bluetooth Headphones are on sale for $99.99, and worth every penny. These will definitely be ones that last my boyfriend a long while, and they are available in black, red, or white, so you have some variety to choose from. Which color best suites your style?
Are headphones a go-to when you walk out the door?


**Event sold out** Please email us if you would like to be added to the waiting list.
Internationally, the ecosystem concept is used as a tool by policymakers to promote innovation and entrepreneurship across city-regions. However, crafting effective ecosystem policies is made difficult by the lack of data on ecosystem inputs, activities, and outcomes. The aim of this event is to develop the capacity of the local entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems by focusing on possible scenarios and options for place-based innovation and entrepreneurial policies. We will identify what types of metrics exist to measure and benchmark ecosystems, which metrics are being developed to inform policy, and what metrics should exist based on different user needs.
3. Researchers interested in the theory and practices of ecosystem concepts – we critically evaluate the entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems as a conceptual and policy framework to be adapted in different national contexts.
17.10 - 17.30: Take aways and ways forward - end of the day.
This workshop is part of the project funded by the ESRC/AHRC, Entrepreneurial and Innovation Ecosystems in the UK and Japan – Place-based scenarios and options. The event is co-organised by the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh and support from both universities is acknowledged.
This event is organized by Adam Smith Business School.
Please note: Adam Smith Business School is located in the Main Building, NOT the Adam Smith Building.
Accommodation: The University of Glasgow is located in the city's West End. There are several hotels near the University including the Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel and the Belhaven Hotel.

I've been working in radio for 7 years and over that time people, have asked me how many types of radio apps I can actually make. I tell that that I'm not making the same app over and over again. There are, in fact, many different types of radio apps. Here's my breakdown.
A single station app is simply an app that broadcasts a single local radio staion. Two single-station apps that I manage are Classical KUSC (iOS, Android and Classical KDfC (iOS, Android). These apps are usually centered around a specific audience or market within a local region.
Multi-station apps are apps that have the ability to deliver many different radio sations. Sometimes these apps are called aggregators because they pull sources from various media providers. For example, Apple iTunes offers a feature on their desktop player where you can listen to individual radio stations from across the nation. iHeart Radio actually owns hundreds of radio stations around the country so they provide those streams through their app. Pandora allows you to build a custom radio station using software technology. Spotify has a feature that rivals pandora in being able to create a custom radio station. Finally, TuneIn aggregates feeds from various radio sources across the globe. The key here is that the listening experience is somewhat the same but how each of these apps provide this service is very very very different.
Podcasting is a new radio category that have grown like wildfire in the past few years. All-in-all, podcasts are great for a few reasons. For listeners, podcasts provide an opportunity to dive deep into niche programming. This is a big change from the current 15 minute news model that occupies most of radio programming. For business advertisers, podcasts provide an opportunity to dictate the types of shows they want to sponsor –instead of paying for an advertising slot. For radio producers, podcasts equals new work. For podcast app and platform owners, podcasts mean that you do not have to pay royalties to performers or producers the way you do for musicians.
This is a bright new opportunity within an industry that has always struggled with paying out royalties.

Ag Ardú ár mBrat Náisiúnta,15ú Márta 2016.
Bhí céiliúradh iontach stairiúil againn ar an 15ú Márta chun cuimhneacháin céad bliain Éirí Amach na Cásca 1916 a chomóradh. D'ardaíomar ár mBrat Náisiúnta, léigh Rang 5 & 6 an forógra & a leagan féin de agus thug Rang 1 isteach siombailí d'Éire. Bhí ceol álainn againn ar an lá chomh maith, sheinn na páistí cúpla port traidisúnta & chan cór na scoile 'Óró Mó Bháidín, 'Óró 'Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile', 'Grace' & 'Ámhrán na bhFiann'. Bhí na páistí ar fheabhas ar fad & bhain gach éinne taitneamh as!
On March 15th we celebrated the centenary of the 1916 Rising. We raised our National Flag, Rang 5 & 6 read a copy of the 1916 proclamation & and their own modern version inspired by the original and Rang 1 displayed important symbols of our Irish heritage. We we also treated to traditional music and songs by our wonderful musicians & choir who sang 'Óró Mó Bháidín, 'Óró 'Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile', 'Grace' & 'Ámhrán na bhFiann'. The children were all excellent & it was a thoroughly enjoyable celebration!
Bhailíomar €258.30 ar 'Lá lus an Chromchinn' don charthannacht 'Irish Cancer Society'. Míle buíochas le gach éinne!
