As we run across pertinent articles about Panama's achievements or reasons to brag we will post them here.
PANAMÁ, THE CALL OF NATURE
Three species of turtles in extinction danger annually arrive at Panamanian coasts to fulfill the cycle of life.
Every year they meet in Panamanian beaches. They arrive quiet with an objective and they do not leave until to have fulfilled its task of laying thousands of eggs that, between 45 and 60 days later will become small turtles that will run towards the sea as soon as they touch the sand. read full article
Between Fire ants and Jaguars
A dense rainforest is the perfect environment for endless species of animals and plants in a protected reserve located a few miles from Panama City:
Barro Colorado Island, that along to five adjoining peninsulas, forms the Barro Colorado Natural Monument.
The Chagres River was dammed during the construction of the Canal (1910 to
1914) and as its waters rose to form Gatun Lake , a small mountain of 476 ft. was isolated from the mainland and formed Barro Colorado Island. This island lodges one of the stations of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, that for over 80 years have studied the diversity of fauna and flora of this place and its importance to humanity.
This small but valuable stretch of land is shelter for many species of animals, from insects like fire ants and many others, to 120 mammal species and five species of native monkeys of Panama. For years, this island have been visited for foreigners and local tourists who became amazed of the abundance and preservation of the species, some of them endangered species.
In top of all this attractions, the island is now making worldwide news for a particular visitor that arrived to the forest days ago. We are talking about a beautiful and impressive jaguar that was photographed by a web camera installed in a tree (with the purpose of making species census). The most interesting fact is that this stretch of land is not big enough to host feline families, which makes us guess that this curious outsider, swam across the Gatún Lake for about 200 yards from his habitat. We don't know for how long this jaguar was swimming, or for how long he stayed in the island, but the truth is that this fascinating discovery fulfills environmentalists and Panamanian people with hope and optimism.
A fight against poverty and vandalism in Panamá
The program called "Tourist Assistants", is an idea the Minister of Tourism of Panama, Rubén Blades had at the end of the year 2004. He met with a group of younsters, all of them former gang members from popular areas of Panamá in the Washington Hotel in Colon City. In this meeting he explained his desire to implement a program where they could become tourist assistants after receiving full and complete training. read full article
A FESTIVE AND COLORFUL FOLKLORIC EXTRAVAGANCE FROM PANAMA INVADES NORTHERN EUROPE
During the month of February, the cold airs of Holland, Norway, Finland and Sweden will be filled with the warmth and flamboyancy of Panama´s rich syncretism. The Danza de los Diablicos or "Dance of the Little Devils" will be performed by a colorful group of Panamanian dancers and musicians in the streets of these cities.
World's Largest Snake Discovered in Fossilized Rainforest
Sixty million years before Jennifer Lopez starred in the film "Anaconda," the world's biggest snake slithered around northern South America. Excavations in Colombia co-organized by Carlos Jaramillo, staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and Jonathan Bloch, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the University of Florida's Florida Museum of Natural History, unearthed fossil remains of a new snake species named Titanoboa cerrejonensis.

Hills Brothers Coffee - Interpretive exhibit at #2 Harrison Street
Hills Brothers Coffee Legacy Exhibits
Now home to Mozilla, Google, Gensler Architects, and a host of innovative firms, you can tour the history of San Francisco's original coffee company, Hills Brothers, established in the late 1800s, viewing this interpretative exhibit in the historic lobby of 2 Harrison Street. This property was original constructed by Hills Brothers, opening in 1925. The lobby exhibits showcase the legacy of Hills Bros. from their humble beginnings, through the construction of this building, opened late 1925, through their expansion into a global leader in the coffee industry.
Reception Desk at 2 Harrison, 1935 SF Bay Bridge Panorama
To create this program, we had the pleasure of working with the building's original developer Betawest, Hills Brothers, project architect David Colleen of Whistler Patri, and perhaps most memorably, Carol T. Wilson, the company's historian, who began his career in this building in 1924.
Panoramic Mural
This hand-tinted 12' wide panoramic photograph showing Hills Plaza and the Bay Bridge under construction full size is a one-of-kind photographic print made from the original negative.
Main Exhibit - historic lobby of 2 Harrison Street
Hills Bros. Coffee Mills Storefront from 1884 to 1894
Hills Bros. Arabian Coffee & Spice Mills, was located at the corner of Sansome & Sacramento Streets, serving as both a factory and home office for the growing company from 1884 to 1894. This site later became the site of the Federal Reserve Bank.
Unloading coffee at Hills Bros. at 175 Fremont Street c1915
Following two years in temporary quarters after being nearly wiped out by the Earthquake and Fire of 1906, a new building was completed for Hills Bros. at 175 Fremont Street. Hills Bros. grew rapidly from 1908 through 1925, when they moved to 2 Harrison Street.
Dedication Plaque honoring Hills Bros Founders
Hills Bros. was founded February 14, 1878, in San Francisco when two brothers, Austin H. Hills (1851-1933), and Reuben W. Hills (1856-1934), formed a partnership to sell retail dairy products in a stall in Bay City Market located at 1146 Market Street. Three years later they became owners of Arabian Coffee & Spice Mills. This marked the beginning of their growth to become one of the nation's largest and most notable coffee companies. Burned out by the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906, these courageous brothers went on to achieve their destined mark in coffee history. This building was the home office and plant for Hills Bros. from January 1926 until April 1990, when remodeling began to make this structure a vital part of the new block-square Hills Plaza.
--> The partnership Hills Bros. was incorporated in 1914, but the name was not changed to Hills Bros. Coffee, Inc. until the early 1930's. These are the three generations of Hills men who directed the daily operations of this 98-year-old family-owned business until it was sold in 1976, later to become a strategic part of the new Nestle Beverage Company. The company was later sold to Sarah Lee in 1999 and was sold to Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA in 2005

Construction progress of 2 Harrison
This series shows the construction progress of the 2 Harrison Street plant and offices of Hills Bros. from ground-breaking August 12, 1924, until near completion at the end of 1925. The architect was George W. Kelham; builder was P. J. Walker Company.

The orange bins in the center of the Green Coffee Mixing Tower were used in combining various lots of coffee to prepare the final Hills Bros. blend. The cup testing rooms are at the top right side of the building.

HOUSTON — Prosecutors said Sunday that the shooting death of a 7-year-old girl as she rode in her family's vehicle stemmed from a case of mistaken identity.
Prosecutors charged 20-year-old Eric Black Jr. in the Dec. 30 death of Jazmine Barnes. Family and community activists had previously said they believed the death was racially motivated, and investigators had been searching for a white man with blue eyes who was driving a red pickup. Black is African-American.
During a court hearing early Sunday, prosecutors said Black admitted to investigators that he was driving a vehicle in which a passenger opened fire on the car Jazmine was in. The vehicle he said he was driving was a dark-colored Kia SUV.
Prosecutors did not immediately explain the discrepancies between the earlier description of the suspect and the vehicle.
Black has been charged with capital murder. It was not immediately known whether the suspected shooter has been arrested.

Welcome to URJ Camp Newman!
Whether you have just registered your child – or are still considering camp – we'd like to personally welcome you to our Camp Newman family and community. For friendships, adventure and the joy of Judaism, there is no better place than Camp Newman! At summer camp, your child will get to choose from many enriching activities, have an unforgettable Shabbat experience and start making Jewish friends that could very well last a lifetime.
We have created this guide to help you and your child prepare – and to start getting excited – about their upcoming camp adventure. If you don't see your question addressed below, please visit our more comprehensive Summer F.A.Q. or please feel free to contact our Marketing Director, Alaina Yoakum, and she'll track down the answer for you!
Thank you for giving our children a place that makes them feel so proud to be Jewish!
Welcome from Our Camp Director, Rabbi Allie Fischman!
As I left my summer home at Camp Newman last year, I glanced over my shoulder towards our sukkat shalom, shelter of peace, and smiled. The grapes that drape camp's sukkah had waited till the final day to begin ripening. It was fitting symbolism that our summer was complete, that we had nourished our camp community, and that future generations would carry forth the joys of Judaism.
When we ask our campers and staff why they love Camp, one of the prevailing sentiments is that "camp is home." It is a home they create with their peer community, their first chavura. They return summer after summer – and all through the year – because they are "coming home again." The idea of home transcends the physical space, even though campers report the sweet chills they encounter as they enter camp's gates and gaze up to the Star of David. The idea of home is how it makes one feel inside: warmth, love, ruach (spirit), joy, unconditional acceptance, embracing of each individual for whom they are; for being able to be themselves.
Imagine sitting in the middle of camp and just listening. The sounds of laughter, music and singing abound. If you listen more carefully, especially during informal moments – at meals, in the cabin, bed time, walking to and fro, and friends sitting under a tree – one can hear myriad stories. Children open up at camp and tell their stories. They create their stories and pass on their stories. All kinds of stories are told – about growth, conflict, joy, redemption, happiness, sadness, dreams, successes, shortcomings, yearnings, aspirations. So much of camp's richness comes from children being able to tell, listen and embrace their stories and their friends' stories.
At Camp, the notion of L'dor V'dor, from generation to generation, is ubiquitous. Young children grow up at camp, passing the traditions to those younger. Eventually, they become staff and pass the Torch to the next generation. Many return as faculty, with their own families, perpetuating the chain. In Midrash Rabba, Songs of Songs 1:4, God tells the Jewish people that they will not receive the Torah without reliable guarantors, those who will care and pass along the Torah for generations onward. The Jewish people suggest several groups, parents, grandparents, prophets, shephards – none of them are acceptable to God – only when children are presented as the guarantors does God hand over the Torah to the Jewish people. The Child In Us All- "By The Breath of Children God Sustains the World," Talmud at camp, the essence of childhood is celebrated, bringing out the child and the best in us all, from the tiny babies to the senior faculty. We all come together to share the magical moments and miracles of Jewish community living.
First Things First … Watch Our Video!
Our video gives you a glimpse into the best of camp – the fun, friendships, adventure, activities and joy of Jewish life. We encourage you to watch it with your child – especially if your child is not certain yet if they wish to attend camp. The excitement is often catching!
Did you know there are grants and discounts available to help you cover the cost of camp? And first-time campers can get up to $1,500 off camp fees! Contact our Registrar Kim Press for details and to help you apply: KPress@urj.org or call 415-991-0259. You can also see what's available here.
Camp has helped me discover my Jewish identity and what it means to be Jewish.
Experience the energy, magic, and excitement of camp during a 2-night session! Campers enjoy a 2-night taste of camp – and families invited to join them for Shabbat evening festivities! It's the perfect introductory session for kids who haven't yet been to overnight camp. Make new friends, enjoy a magical Shabbat as a family & build independence.
Here are 3 ways to experience camp, before camp!
March 2019: Family Fun Festival and Open House with PJ Library – experience a taste of camp in one small bite-sized day and tour our facilities at Cal Maritime.
February 2019: Is My Child Ready for Camp? – join or listen to this free webinar for first-time camper parents with 3 directors from 3 camps: URJ Camp Newman, 6 Points Sports California, and Sci-Tech West!
All Year: Visit Camp on the Road – Meet one of our camp directors, get all your questions answered, and get some free camp swag at a synagogue, JCC or camp fair near you! See when we'll be in your hood here.
How Can I Tell If My Child Is Ready?
New beginnings can often feel both exhilarating and a bit scary. As your child's first extended time away from home, you want to be sure that you're sending them to a space that will embrace them and take care of them in the same way that you would. That's why at Camp Newman we go all out to create a space where first-time campers feel safe to dip their toe into the camp experience – or to jump right in when they're ready!
Have they been to an overnight at a friend's house or a slumber party? How did they do?
Can they perform routine tasks – like brushing their teeth and hair in the morning – on their own?
Does your child like choosing their own items from a buffet?
Does your child ever mention the idea of going away to camp?
Start talking about camp with your child – and see what they say! You will know better than anyone when your child is ready for camp.
At camp, we build friendship-making and community-building into our activities from the second your camper arrives! At check-in, campers receive name tags designed to match their cabin group's name and theme. They are then led to a space where they play getting-to-know-you games with each camper as they arrive until all session members are there. Then, campers are led to their rooms, where they discover that their doors are decorated with posters displaying their group's theme, their name and all of their fellow campers' names. Each night, cabin groups gather to do a closing activity (hashkeivah) and counselors build community through group activities, ice breakers, and team-building games throughout the session.
It is my home away from home and a place where I can be my best self.
Where Will My Children Sleep?
Campers live in single-gendered halls in one of three dormitories with one roommate along with in-residence counselors (Check out this cute kid-led tour of the bunks!) – just like many of our URJ Specialty Camps, including 6 Points Sports and Sci-Tech West in Los Angeles. Within each hall, campers are clustered into cabin groups based on age and session. Counselors' rooms are interspersed among their campers' rooms with high staff to camper ratios. Counselors are in residence to supervise, mentor, and engage their campers throughout the day, while in their tzrifim (cabins) or at activities.
I love being at camp … surrounded by nature, my friends, and people who have similar loves.
Can My Child's Friend Join Them?
Yes! In fact, many first-time campers come to camp with a friend … or two or three! When you enroll your child, there will be an area where you can enter the name of the friend your child would like to be in the same bunk with.
We do our very best to honor all requests made, and will honor at least one mutually-matching bunk request.
Who Will Be Watching Over My Child?
Our staff share a strong passion for mentoring youth and for modeling the values of friendships, community, and Judaism. These caring, dedicated, and specially-trained individuals include Israelis, college students, rabbinical students, Jewish educators, clergy, camp alumni, doctors, nurses and social workers.
When asked to describe the most important thought that staff should carry in their minds 24 hours a day, we share the following: Imagine that every child's parents are watching over your shoulder as you care for, nurture, and inspire their most precious gift in life.
Because of camp, my kids think it's COOL to be Jewish!
Music is a big part of camp. Everywhere you go, you can hear the sounds of children singing. To hear some of our favorite hits from the summer, visit our Camp Music page (password is "music").
A deck of cards or other fun games to play with their cabinmates.
A red, green, yellow and blue t-shirt or accessory for when your camper learns their Yom Sport team color (a mystery until the day of). Don't worry if you don't have this – we always have extra items and face paint!
Stamps & pre-written address labels for mailing letters to friends and family.
XL Twin Sheet for placing over mattresses and underneath sleeping bags.
As you pack, discuss anxieties, expectations and hopes together. Discuss the activities that will happen at camp. Watch the video again. The more your child knows about camp, the better they will adjust. Express how proud you are, as a parent, of your child embarking on their camp journey. Never tell your child that they "can come home" or they "can call home" if they are having a difficult time – this will only make it more difficult for them to adjust.
The only "cure" for homesickness is time, coupled with the support of counselors and encouraging letters from home. Our counselors are there to help comfort and encourage your child. They are sensitive, well-trained and, in most cases, were campers once themselves and draw on their own experiences. They also know where to turn for help. Each session, the camp has a faculty of at least eight Rabbis, Jewish educators and a team of on-site counselors and mental health professionals (our Nefesh team) on site, as well as senior staff members who are always available to help guide the camper to success.
Send many positive (and "how proud we are of you") letters to your child. Have letters waiting for them when they arrive. Say how much you are looking forward to hearing about what they experienced at camp. Discuss the excitement of camp, not what they are missing at home. If they're not letter writers themselves, send them easy to fill out ("your favorite activity at camp is: _____," "your new friend's name is: ____", etc) self-addressed stamped letters to send you with a report. Address all mail to: Camper's Name, Camp Newman – Session Name, 1 Morrow Cove, Vallejo, CA 94590. And don't forget to include your return address!
Make sure to visit our How to Keep in Touch page for lots more resources and tips for staying in touch with your camper.
What If My Family Is Interfaith?
At Camp Newman, we welcome all children regardless if one or both parents are Jewish. To read more about how we strive to create a welcoming environment for all, click here!
Shhh…Your First-Timer Gets a Welcome Gift!
Once you have enrolled your camper, be on the lookout some time in May for a special "Welcome to Camp" package to arrive in your mailbox! Our Camp Directors send all of our first-time campers a special gift along with a CD of popular camp music so your camper can begin learning some of our favorite songs and melodies, if they like.
As first-time parents, we know you have questions – and we have answers! To read our extensive F.A.Q. for both first- and long-time parents, click here.


Annora Bradley spent her Sunday afternoon instrument shopping.
The bright, home-schooled 7-year-old was in the lobby of the Hult Center with her parents, Lindsay and Justin Bradley, in hopes of making an informed musical decision.
It�s coming up on two years, and Annora had a perfect opportunity to try out some different sounds at Sunday afternoon�s �Instrument Petting Zoo� put on by the Eugene Symphony in the hour before its family friendly Disney matinee in the Silva Concert Hall.
At the zoo, Annora � and scores of other children � got to try at a range of orchestral instruments, each one supervised by a green-shirted University of Oregon music student.
�I tried flute! And cello. Oh yes, and drum,� Annora said.
She picked cello. �It sounds best to me,� she said.
So good, in fact, did the cello sound that she was soon back in line, looking for one more chance to play it, as the petting zoo was shutting down minutes before curtain time at the concert.
For the entire hour the zoo was open, the Hult Center lobby was awash in young Yo-Yo Mas and Midoris, many of them girls decked out in fairy costumes or other girlish formal wear. The children were standing in ever-lengthening lines to try their little hands at a violin, cello, clarinet, flute, trumpet, trombone, or even the big, booming bass drum that was parked up on the mezzanine level, perhaps located there to avoid frightening other children before they got their bearings in the cacophonous lobby.
The waiting line generally was longest for the violin, but of all the instruments there, cello might have been the most awkward fit for many youngsters, even the child-sized cello being supervised by Stacer McChesney, a UO junior studying music.
This was McChesney�s first time wrangling children and a cello at an instrument petting zoo, but he seemed to have the patter down.
That was just to get the cello in place. Next up, the bow.
�You want to ... well, hold this hand out toward me. Like a zombie,� McChesney said. She stuck her right hand out and he pressed the bow into her palm. Next thing, she was sawing enthusiastically away at the cello strings without making too much music, or even sound, at all.
�Mind if I hold it with you for just a second?� he offered diplomatically. With an extra hand on the bow, the cello suddenly started producing a tone.
Some of the most frustrated-looking young musicians were taking on the trumpet for the first time, trying to come to terms with the instrument�s embouchure, or lip and mouth work.
Eugene cartoonist Jan Eliot was at the trumpet station with her 5-year-old grandson, Asa. Asa was having a hard time coaxing anything from the trumpet until his grandmother gently intervened.
Asa suddenly produced a note.
�Now that�s a good thing to tell a little boy,� Eliot said.


"The story you only think you knew."
Muhammad Ali plays himself in this biopic about the champ's highly unusual life. After a victory in the Olympics Ali's rise to to the heavyweight championship becomes controversial when he changes his name from Clay to Muhammad Ali, and announces he is a black Muslim. When he refuses to be drafted into the army he is stripped of his title and not allowed to box for three and a half years. Eventually he gets the chance to regain his title.

Hmm. Isn't the concern for smart appliances usually that since they're internet-connected, they can be used to for DDoS and other nefarious purposes? I mean, a smart thermostat doesn't really have the capability to spy on its owners, right?
They can spy on your temperature preferences! (Dun dun dah!). You do have a point though. I originally was thinking more like smart home assistants, as that seems to be the craze now. That is ignoring the majority smart devices in the market though. You could get some information from most though, even it is minimal. You could get a rough floorplan from a roomba, you could get an idea what kind of products people buy with smart fridges... etc. We may never know what Randall's original intention was though. I wonder if he reads this wiki... Does he ever edit it?
A smart thermostat often knows when you are home and not. It could easily be used to develop a pattern of behavior to determine when would be the best time to rob your house. Then there's smart door locks, with the obvious consequences of hacking. But yes, botnets are one of the biggest problems. Note that the graph (accurately!) shows a not-so-great best case on day 1, as most IoT security is awful.173.245.52.67 17:18, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
Agreed. A much more likely scenario is that your device is being used for a botnet. Smart appliances aren't updated as reliably as personal computers (since they're "set and forget" devices), and the owner is less likely to notice if they've been hacked (because you won't notice if your thermostat is running a little slow), so they're a prime target for hackers. That's also why the graph shows the risk increases as time goes by - the manufacturer stops patching the device, but the hacker will keep trying to get in. --162.158.79.89 17:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm going to give them an update they can't refuse
Is it just me or is it strange that the older the device is the better the case? I just do not understand the graph and the explanation as it is now, does not make sense to me. In case it is just me that fails to understand it, then the explanation is still not good enough... Because: "Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb." :D --Kynde (talk) 19:26, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
It seems to me that you need to look at the area on either side of the curve. So, if a device is 10 years old, the section on the "worst case" side of the curve is larger. Therefore, it is more likely that your device is to be compromised. --Detroitwilly (talk) 19:38, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
I somewhat disagree. I don't think that it's a discrete best-case, worst-case only problem that's divided by the line, rather that it becomes so unlikely that there will be people protecting you, the best case scenario would be having your thing part of an organized crime. It's simple so unlikely that you're being protected, that having a hacked device is the best scenario. Perhaps there is some worse, unseen scenario that is so bad that having a hacked device is better in comparison. 172.68.211.244 20:12, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
It's referring to how, the older the device gets, the less likely it is the manufacturer is still maintaining it and keeping it working.
In that scenario, having your device be part of a botnet eventually becomes the best-case scenario, as the hackers would be providing the "support" and updates you need to keep the device working, as per the title text.

The kids picked some items out of the yard with different textures; then picked out some paint colors and made their own piece of art! Kayla helped with Kaitlyn and I helped Christopher. We had a great time doing this!
Hmmmm. . . . what should I do next?
This was a great project to do for Christopher's sensory problems!
He would only use his finger but by the time we finished, his hands were covered!
The underneath side of the leaves gave better prints.
Their masterpiece! Kaitlyn's is on the left and Christopher's, the right.
Kaitlyn's completed with her hand prints!

Back to School: The Evolution of Journalism Education
Cindy Royal: Journalism schools need to get better at teaching tech where the girls are
"We are just at the beginning of understanding what the digital media curriculum of the future will look like. But we can't let the constraints of accreditation and untrained faculty slow us down."
By Cindy Royal Oct. 9, 2012, 10:24 a.m.
Editor's Note: It's the start of the school year, which means students are returning to journalism programs around the country. As the media industry continues to evolve, how well is new talent being trained, and how well are schools preparing them for the real world?
We asked an array of people — hiring editors, recent graduates, professors, technologists, deans — to evaluate the job j-schools are doing and to offer ideas for how they might improve. Here Texas State professor Cindy Royal uses her own experience teaching technology within journalism courses to examine how the field might better engage its mostly female students.
At this very moment, there are dozens of job openings at news organizations around the U.S. that require people who can code in a digital media and news applications context. The needs of the industry are clear. As John Keefe of WNYC proclaimed at the end of his acceptance speech after winning an Online Journalism Award at the Online News Association conference in San Francisco, "Journalism needs more journalists who can code."
But it's not exactly clear where these people will be found. Should they be the rare computer science major with an interest in storytelling? Or the equally scarce journalist who has amassed a range of tech skills?
This problem of supply is comingled with and further complicated by the demographic makeup of the computer science discipline. Females and some ethnic minorities have been underrepresented in the traditional technology disciplines. While computer science enrollments are increasing, the representation of women among these programs' graduates has declined to 11.7 percent.
There are many theories about why this may be so. Are women less interested in computing? Or is there something about the culture of computer science that is unappealing or unwelcoming to certain groups?
My experience in teaching web development in journalism programs for more than a decade has led me to conclude that it is much less about the former than we have been led to believe. With journalism program enrollment often in the range of 60-70 percent women, it's common for my classes to be majority female. All of them recognize the value of technological skills — they wouldn't be taking the class otherwise. While some enter the course a bit unsure about their computer savvy, all leave with increased confidence and an ignited interest in the role of technology in the future of media.
And — in my limited experience in taking computer science courses within the university environment, and speaking with colleagues about the mission and goals of the computer science academic discipline — I have begun to recognize the unique opportunity we have in journalism to contribute to a solution for the digital divide. We can increase women's participation in technology if we teach higher-end technology skills in a communications context — in essence, teaching tech where the girls are. At the same time, we would be reaching male students who might have tech aptitude, but for some reason were also not attracted to a computer science degree.
There are several reasons that this alternative approach could provide different results. First, by teaching technology in a web context, we embrace the most basic values of journalism: the need to communicate and share. The web tools that students develop are more likely to match the interests of female students and the male students who wish to study and work in a more communicative environment.
Second, technology training can be delivered in a different manner in journalism and mass communication programs. We often find ourselves sneaking up on the students with technology instruction by introducing tech skills in reporting classes, discussing social media or requiring students to take web design courses as part of their programs of study. These may not be the subjects they envisioned learning about when they picked a communications major.
As faculty in these classes, we've developed techniques that facilitate learning. These students might be digital natives, but they may not have much experience in making things work or possess a high level of confidence in their ability to do so. We provide a supportive environment in which students are able to experiment with a safety net, with an experienced professor or teaching assistant who can assist when necessary. And we recognize when it's time to start weaning students off that assistance by modeling appropriate troubleshooting behaviors. As we introduce the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship, students gain a new understanding of the roles that technology will play in their future.
Third, as journalists and journalism educators, we understand the importance of facts and information. Using data is not new to the journalism profession. Modern data journalism rests on the shoulders of computer-assisted reporting; we have a legacy upon which to build these competencies.
Female students in our graduate New Media Concentration at Texas State University have gone on to a wide range of careers that engage digital media skills — from social media editors/managers at traditional media companies and innovative startups, to web developers and project managers at interactive agencies, to freelance web designers, to integral members of the staff of SXSW Interactive. These results support the belief that women are interested in technology and can gain the skills necessary to use technology in careers in which computers and communication go hand-in-hand. But we can do better by increasing the role of programming, data, and technology in our curriculum in ways that are relevant to the industries we support.
We are just at the beginning of understanding what the digital media curriculum of the future will look like. But we can't let the constraints of accreditation and untrained faculty slow us down. The "teaching hospital," model, which has been touted by many over the last few months, is admirable — but only if it engages professionals who can move curriculum in this direction. This has to go beyond a few electives offered at some institutions. I envision a series of modules that deal with topics relevant to programming, data, and mobile development that can be plugged into existing classes, used to develop new courses and workshops, or implemented as the foundation for new sequences or degrees.
Our students will learn what we teach them. We need to start aligning our curriculum with the future needs of the industry. In doing so, we can assure the mostly female population of mass communication students that they will be prepared to be active and valued participants.

Clone リーダーボード オンライン ランク ヘビ IO Html5 マルチプレイ
Enjoy a twist on an old classic with Slither.io! Like the classic game ヘビ that graced ancient cell phones and computers for decades, you grow by eating small pellets. But with its マルチプレイ gameplay, you now get the same action while competing against other people. Feel free to chow down on your smaller enemies, but remember that there's always a bigger fish… er, snake. Slither.io is, in spirit at least, the sequel of Agario. You grow by eating little circles. Kill other players to eat all their mass. The objective of the game is to control and move a worm around a colored area, eat pellets to gain mass, defeat and consume other players to grow the biggest and longest in the game.
How to Play Slither.io
Mouse: Move your cursor to control the direction of your snake. Click to go at full speed. Keyboard: UP Arrow to go at full speed / LEFT Arrow to turn left / RIGHT Arrow to turn right
Slither.io Wiki
Slither.io is a massively multiplayer video game available for iOS, Android, and web browsers, developed by Steve Howse. Players control an avatar resembling a worm, which consumes multicolored pellets, both from other players and ones that naturally spawn on the map in the game, to grow in size. The objective of the game is to grow the longest worm in the server. Slither.io is similar in concept to the popular 2015 web game Agar.io and is reminiscent of the classic arcade game ヘビ.
The game grew in popularity following its promotion among several prominent YouTube users such as PewDiePie, and topped the App Store shortly after its release. Slither.io's browser version was ranked by Alexa as one of the 1,000 most visited sites by July 2016, while the iOS version ranked first in the most downloaded apps on the App Store. A mobile version of the game for Android was released on March 27, 2016. The reception of the game was positive, with reviewers praising its appearance and customization but criticizing it for its low replay value and the high price users must pay to remove advertisements.
The objective of the game is to control a worm around a wide area and eat pellets, defeating and consuming other players to gain mass to grow the largest and longest in the game. Once the player starts the game and is spawned into the virtual world, their avatar cannot stop moving forward. If the player's worm's head collides into a part of another worm, the player will die. The defeated avatar's body turns into bright, shining pellets for other players to consume. As much pellets as it takes for the equivalent amount of mass as the worm had exactly before its death will be transmuted. These pellets that remain from "death" of an avatar will correspond to the color of the avatar itself, and are both brighter and bigger than "normal" pellets, which spawn naturally throughout the world. Normal pellets do not give as much mass as pellets dropped from other worms. "Chase" pellets will appear individually in various places of the world, and when eaten, give a greater amount of mass than pellets dropped by other worms. Chase pellets avoid worms and flee when they draw near. Chase pellets can be obtained by boosting.
By pressing and holding the space bar or left/right mouse button (on mobile, double-tapping the touchscreen), the player can use their boost, which causes the avatar to speed up. When the button (or, on mobile, the finger on the touchscreen) is released, the worm will stop using its boost. When a player uses their boost, the worm loses some mass, causing the worm's size to shrink slightly, with the mass that is lost from the boost appearing as a line of small pellets where the boost was used. The mass lost can be regained by consuming the pellets. Similar to pellets dropped from defeated avatars, the boost pellets correspond to the color of the avatar. The boost feature is useful to outmaneuver and defeat opponents. A common strategy that is used by players to defeat opponents is of the player's avatar coiling around the opponent's in a loop, until the opponent, trapped in the loop, crashes into the player.
There is a border that confines avatars within the circular game board. If a worm hits the border, the player automatically dies without turning into the aforementioned pellets. As of now it is removed, in 2016, the player with the biggest worm at the end of the day was able to share a "victory message" with the world. On each server, leaderboards are displayed at the top right, showing the top ten players with worms that have the most mass out of all the other worms in the entire server.
There are 16 default skins, each one a different solid color along with multiple repeating patterns. The colors are randomly chosen when the player joins the server. Players can choose to customize their worm's appearances using custom skins with unique designs including different countries' flags, as well as skins with motifs and colors representing well-known YouTubers, such as Jacksepticeye, Jelly and PewDiePie. Or, the player may choose to create their own skin, with a tool known as "Build a Slither," which shows the different colors that an avatar can be made of, that can be placed on the worm upon clicking. Previously, in order to unlock custom skins in browser mode, players were forced to share the game on Twitter or Facebook using the external links found on the website. By June 2016, the ability to add skins was also added to the iOS and Android versions.
There are three control schemes on the iOS and Android apps: "Classic", where the worm follows the player's finger; "Joystick", where the left thumb controls the worm using a virtual joystick and the right thumb makes it go faster; and "Arrow", which is exactly like Joystick but with an arrow above the worm's head indicating the direction it is moving in.[8] Since June 2016, mobile versions also allow players to play offline against the computer using an artificial intelligence mode.
According to game creator Steven Howse, he was inspired to create the game while he was experiencing financial problems. As a result of these financial issues, he had to move from Minneapolis to Michigan, where he realized the popularity of Agar.io. He had long wanted to create an online multiplayer game, but the only option for the development at the time was in Adobe Flash, and not wanting to use this method, he gave up the idea for a while. Howse finally created the game when he realized that WebSocket, a low-latency protocol supported by most major browsers, was sufficient and stable enough to run an HTML game similar to other games such as Agar.io.The most difficult part of the development was in making each server stable enough to handle 600 players at a time. Howse struggled to find space on servers with enough space in regions where there was more demand and tried to avoid cloud services like Amazon Web Services, owing to the high cost that these services would incur based on the amount of bandwidth used.
After six months of development, Slither.io was released for browsers and iOS on March 25, 2016, with servers supporting up to 500 players. Two days after the iOS/browser versions' release, an Android version was made available by Lowtech Studios. The only way Howse could make revenue was to display advertising in the app after the player's worm died; this option could be removed for US$3.99. He chose not to sell virtual currency or power-ups so that those who paid would not have an advantage over players who did not.[10] As there was no money to advertise for the game, the only way to advertise was the various let's plays by players on YouTube, including PewDiePie, who had more than 47 million subscribers at the time.
In the weeks following the release, Howse worked on updates to stabilize the game and provide a better experience for players. In addition, he plans to add new features, such as a "friendly mode" that allows people to set up teams, and a way for the player to choose a server to play on.[11] Howse said that two major gaming companies had approached him to buy Slither.io. He had considered the idea, since he felt that it was stressful to maintain the game.
Soon after release, Slither.io reached the top of the App Store sales charts in the free software category in several regions, including the United States[18] and the United Kingdom. By the end of 2016, Slither.io had become Google's most searched video game of the year in the United States.
Patricia Hernandez of Kotaku said that the game's low barriers to entry and similarity to Agar.io explained Slither.io's popularity. She noted the game's fast pace. Boing Boing compared the game's core mechanic to that of the 2009 game Osmos.Brandt Ran, writing for Business Insider, said that "despite running into some technical hiccups—the game can lag heavily at times—I doubt Slither.io will be leaving my home screen anytime soon." Harry Slater, writing for Pocket Gamer, defined the game as "interesting"; the gameplay as a "compulsive experience"; and the structure as simple and similar to Agar.io, although it did not have a large replay value. TechCrunch's Felicia Williams praised the designs, getting "pleasantly surprised" with the variety of skins for customization. Lian Amaris of Gamezebo found the game to be "far more interesting than Agar.io" because it involved "an ever-growing languid body rather than just a flat circle," and praised "the dark environment with neon worms," which gave the game a "retro arcade feel." Amaris also compared the concept of Slither.io to that of Agar.io and stated that Slither.io was reminiscent of the classic arcade game ヘビ.
Shortly after the release of the mobile versions, the game was in first place in the ranking of games of the App Store. Despite Slither.io's popularity, it received mixed reviews. Scottie Rowland of Android Guys praised the gameplay and graphics, however criticized the ads that pop up on the screen after the end of the game, calling them "extremely annoying" and finding the payment to remove them "a bit pricey."
By July 2016, the browser version's website was ranked by Alexa as the 250th most visited site worldwide, but then experienced a decline in popularity, dropping below 1,000 by October 2016 before remaining mostly constant at approximately 1,700 by January 2017. In April 2017, Slither.io's global rank then started declining further, reaching 2,800 by September 2017. By that same period, the game had already been downloaded more than 68 million times in mobile applications and played more than 67 million times in browsers, generating a daily income of US$100,000 for Howse.

Slither.io Walkthrough
Slither.io Strategy, Tips And Tricks
Slither.io Tip #1: Eat And Dodge
In the beginning, you just basically just want to eat as much as you can to grow your size, but steer as clear of the bigger snakes as you possibly can – don't get too cocky!
Slither.io Tip #2: Try the Wrap Around
When you reach a certain size, you're going to want to try to fool other snakes into running into you so you can eat up the dots they become. One way to do this is to plan a wrap-around. With the wrap around strategy, you basically find a smaller snake near you and try to encircle yourself around it so that it has no other option but to run into you. Once you've gotten a ring around them, just keep circling till they have to run into you.
Slither.io Tip #3: Try Dashing or Speeding
To dash on a mobile device you double tap then hold down on the screen or on the computer, dashing happens when you hold down the left-click button on the mouse. This causes your snake to dash quickly in a given direction until you let go. You do shed a bit of length in doing this but dashing can have its advantages. For example, if you are trying to use the wrap around method, it's sometimes good to dash forward to get in front of your target. He or she may then run into you, or it will make it easier for you to circle him or her.
Slither.io Tip #4: Try Outrunning Longer Snakes
This is another way you can use dashing. Because longer snakes move slower than short ones, you will also dash faster. If you see a longer snake than yourself coming near you, you may want to dash forward and quickly turn to get in front of them and cause them to collide.
Slither.io Tip #5: When Big Snakes Go Down, Stay At The Back Of The Fight
Many times when a large snake dies in front of you a huge surge of traffic heads that direction in hopes of eating up the most colored remains. This turns into a massive bloodbath of snakes colliding into each other. When these fights happen, try to stay nearby and be one of the last guys to go for the bait. If you can be the last man standing, you'll be able to swoop in and gobble up many of the remains of the less restrained snakes.
Slither.io Tip #6: When You're Big, Stay On The Edges And Stick Your Head In The Sand.
The bigger you are the more vulnerable you are to crashing into others so if you're pretty happy with your size, practice keeping your head circled inside your body to avoid crashing into others. Meanwhile, others will crash into you just because of your sheer size, providing a steady flow of dots to consume. It's also a good idea to move to the edges of the game board instead of the center where most of the action happens. You can check your location by looking at the small round circle in the lower right-hand corner of the play screen.
Slither.io Extensions, Skins And Mods
Slither.io is brand new so there aren't any working extensions yet, but there are some mods and skins available.
Slither.io Skins – to get a set of skins in the game, you just need to log onto the desktop version of the game and in the lower right-hand corner of the screen are options for sharing on social media. Once you share, go back to Slither.io and in the lower left-hand corner you should see the option to Change skin. Click on it and select the one you want to use!
Additional Slither.io Skins and Mods – visit this Reddit thread for information about installing mods. These allow you to connect with friends, see coordinates, change the backgrounds and add even more new skins to your snake.

Japanese gardens contain incredibly unique landscaping elements. If you're keen to replicate this aesthetic in your own home, here are seven of the most breathtaking Japanese gardens to draw your inspiration from.
One of the most interesting Japanese Gardens is the Ryoan-ji Temple. Unlike most gardens, which are green with grass and colourful flowers, Ryoan-ji Temple is famous for its rocks. Yes, you read that right!
The popular rock garden is rectangular and consists of a plot of pebbles. They showcase patches of moss that carry groups of 15 rocks. It's architecturally interesting and leaves many spectators curious to the meaning of the layout.
There is no definite explanation for the design, but some believe that the garden represents infinity while others believe it may be an abstract representation of islands in the sea.
Located in the middle of busy Tokyo lies one of the most tranquil Japanese gardens – the Mukojima-Hyakkaen Garden. Built in the Edo Period, this garden has a dream-like feel with the vibrant floral scene that changes every season.
Visitors are enchanted by its historical appeal and quiet ambiance, despite being amidst the bustling mega city. People are comforted by benches that welcome every onlooker to stop, have a long breath and take it all in.
One of the most spectacular structures of Mukojima-Hyakkaen is the Japanese Clover Tunnel. As you walk through the tunnel, you are surrounded by the gorgeous, lush green of clovers. It's the tunnel from fairy tales!
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Saiho-ji Temple is especially beautiful for its mesmerising, moss-filled environment. Saiho-ji has a historical significance dating back to 1339, when Zen monk Muso Soseki became head priest of the temple and remodeled it to be his masterpiece.
With roughly 120 types of moss filling the garden today, it is an amazing site that is unmistakable and certainly one of a kind. Paired with the tranquil water and tall trees, it is no surprise that many acclaim the Saiho-ji Temple as Kyoto's most beautiful garden.
With its grand, spacious design, Shinjuku Gyoen is a space that gives Tokyo a breath of fresh air. The park is full of large lawns and walking paths for visitors to enjoy every day. Its size makes it an indisputable standout amongst the city's attractions.
In spring, Shinjuku Gyoen comes to life with Japan's famous cherry blossoms. The iconic, unofficial national flower floods the park thanks to more than one thousand cherry trees in over a dozen varieties!
Of course, the landscape also features large ponds and bridges, and other main gardens such as the French garden and the English landscape garden.
Unlike some of the other Japanese gardens, the Heian Jingu Shrine is relatively young and dates back to just over a hundred years ago. It is dedicated to the spirits of the first and last emperors of the city of Kyoto.
In the garden of the shrine, a large number of weeping cherry trees stand. They're emphasized with the surroundings of calm waters and floating water lilies.
One of the most astounding features is the bridge across the lake, Taihei-kaku. The bridge is designed in traditional Japanese style and gives onlookers the most phenomenal view.
Opened to the public in 1871, Kenroku-en is a generously sized Japanese garden that was constructed over a period of nearly two centuries by the ruling Maeda family.
The size is actually how the garden got given its name with Kenro-ku translating to "Garden of the Six Sublimities". It refers to the six essential attributes for a perfect garden according to the Chinese – spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, abundant water and broad views.
The trees bloom plum blossoms and cherry blossoms in different months, and the garden's large pine trees carry freshly fallen snow in the winter for a majestic white wonderland.
The Zen Temple of Tenryu-ji has some of the finest gardens in Kyoto. Firstly, there's Sogenchi Teien (Sogen Pond Garden), which is designed as a strolling pond garden and gives the illusion of depth with the view of nearby mountains.
Then there's Hyakka'en (Garden of a Hundred Flowers), which is full of herbs, bushes and trees on the slope of a hill. It is also where people may walk through and find the Sagano bamboo forest.
Tenryu-ji Temple is also home to a few traditional Japanese teahouses. These small, simple wooden buildings are designed specifically for tea ceremony use, and are commonly found in traditional Japanese gardens.
Japanese gardens originate from (you guessed it) Japan, but were actually inspired by Chinese gardens. They've been around for centuries and were enjoyed by many emperors. Today, traditional Japanese gardens remain the pinnacle of sacred temples.
Traditional Japanese gardens are so beautiful that they're actually considered an element of Japanese art – and there's no doubt why. These landscapes are mysterious and picturesque.
The garden architecture includes a variety of elements that are natural to the landscape or structures that are incorporated into the design of the garden, such as: water, sand, bamboo, gravel, rock, streams, fish, various stones, strolling paths, lanterns, moss, flowers, ponds, small waterfalls, trees, statues, shrines, gates and even water basins.
Each element is equally important as they carry symbolic meanings that contribute to the serene aura and holistic appeal of a Zen garden. The aim is to make a person at peace, relax their body and mind, and enjoy the calming effects of nature.
That is the chief difference between Japanese gardens and any other regular backyard. Rather than focusing simply on physical appearance, they're designed with a spiritual and philosophical objective.
The incredible thing about Japanese gardens is that they take time to build and grow naturally, and the older they are the more character they possess.
Despite the fact that many ingredients come together to create a Japanese garden, the overall aesthetic is quite simple and minimalist. That's what makes them so unique! Every piece falls so fittingly into place that it cannot help but inspire meditation and reflection.


The debut solo album from Kristian, Southern Gravity is a journey through twelve brilliant songs all co-written by Kristian himself. He has a great vocal tone that shines throughout the entire album, with songs like the touching House On A Beach and the incredibly catchy debut single Trailer Hitch proving he is both a talented singer and song-writer. Kristian clearly knows what sound suits him and Southern Gravity showcases him at his strongest.
The 'surprise' album from Eric Church initially made me a little apprehensive after the quite distinct sound of The Outsiders. After listening through however I found myself loving the album. Eric's vocal tone seems to slip comfortably through every track and the lyrics are some of the best I've ever heard from him. Quite possibly the best album he's ever released.
Wild Ones is the second album from Kip and was introduced by gutsy lead single I'm To Blame. Kip's clear passion for music exudes from every single song, particularly through the final two tracks, Running For You and Comeback Kid. Each track has it's own strengths that all come together to create a very impressive album.
The tenth album from the extremely talented storyteller, it feels as though Small Town Dreams gives the listener a window into Will's soul. Each song feels incredibly personal to him, from the slower, heartfelt numbers to the rock influenced, upbeat tracks and I defy you not want to listen to this album over and over again. Will draws you in and delivers a multi-faceted album that truly shines.
Logan builds upon the promising sound listeners were initially introduced to with the release of her debut album with this new release. Shuteye also highlights two outstanding collaborations, I Wish You Loved Me featuring Charlie Worsham and The Woman On Your Mind featuring David Nail. With a multitude of excellent tracks to choose from, current single World Still Round is certainly a worthy choice, Logan's vocal feels completely at home throughout this track and, in fact, the rest of the album. Proving she is truly a force to be reckoned with, Logan Brill's sophomore album is truly outstanding.
that reaches in and draws out feelings from bliss and joy to crocodile tears. These ten albums did just that. They were the ones I consistently and repeatedly found myself returning to all year long....and the ones I will surely be playing well into 2016 and beyond.
Pairing these women up because they just get it. Glorious and gorgeous voices paired with honest, impactful story songs of real women and real life that hit your heart.
One of those rare, complete records with keen observations on life, love, and society. Vividly detailing everything from circus life ("Ringling Road"), to society's new norms ("Old Fashioned"), and delving into the intricacies of relationships with sharp, and often biting, lyrics. His writings are witty; filled with humour, heart, anger and truth….and will eventually find him being known as one of the best songwriter's of his generation.
While many artists claim their latest albums as their best work yet, here that phrase absolutely rings true. Jukehouse Revival finds the band honing in even further on their one of a kind sound. It is a groove fuelled, soulful, joyous, forty minutes of "funky country" that celebrates life, love and hard work. It's an album that will reinvigorate your musical soul whether you are in a juke joint, a dive bar, listening alone in your car or sitting on someone's front porch.
The Black Lillies (Cruz Contreras, Trisha Gene Brady, Bowman Townsend, Sam Quinn, Mike Seal and Jonathan Keeney) return, reinvigorated on their latest release. It's signature Lillies, but funkier, more vibrant, with a thick, welcome infusion of organ, saxophone, trumpet, and glorious guitar riffs. There's a current flowing through this record; that is the push and pull of love: desire, dissolution and complications, pushed along by a soulful, bluesy groove. From the fabulous foot stomper "Hard To Please" to the gorgeous "Mercy" and the beautiful "Fade," the songs are...visceral. Contreras and Gene Brady's vocals have always complimented one another and both consistently convey what a song calls for whether it's warmth, sorrow, honesty, or joy. TBL have poured their heart and soul into Hard To Please. You'll not only hear it, but you'll feel it in every track as you automatically sense that swell in your chest, recall a memory or notice your foot tapping. Don't let the title deceive you, Hard To Please is anything but.
So there you have it! We hope you will listen to and enjoy these albums, let us know your favourites!
