Frosh in Focus
We need to be aware of the artificiality of Instagram
Caleigh Castiglione
Over the years, I've often heard the words, "wait, she looks nothing like she does on her Instagram." While there's plenty of criticism on the over-use of social media, an overlooked issue is how it perpetuates negative body images.
Before posting photos on social media, many girls edit their bodies using photo retouching apps to appear thinner. A great deal of girls shrink their arms, add a thigh gap, elongate their legs, cut out or flatten parts of their stomach, the list goes on. Examples of these apps include Facetune, Perfect Me and Retouch Me.
Our society today has everyday women and girls editing photos of themselves just as much as magazines do with their models. Even though my teachers told us to not compare our bodies to those of celebrities and models, I still compare myself to people like Gigi Hadid or Emily Ratajkowski whenever they post on Instagram. But what these teachers never mentioned was how we would compare ourselves to our friends.
This is a massive issue that the public needs to be aware of. Retouched images on social media perpetuate unrealistic and unhealthy body standards.
As girls edit themselves to conform to what they believe is an "ideal" beauty standard, they fail to remember that all girls have different body types. When women and girls edit their bodies to look thinner online, the diversity of women's bodies seems to disappear.
Women have been conditioned to judge each other based on appearance — both subconsciously and intentionally. By altering their appearance online, not only are they partaking in an obsessive and ultimately harmful past time, but they're continuing a pattern of competition with one another. Negative body image is a prominent issue for women and this pattern of editing seems to continue the cycle.
All in all, editing is something girls will likely continue to do because of its normality. I only hope that people begin to employ a more critical eye when on social media. As people passively scroll through their Instagram on a daily basis, they're led to think that the photos on their feed are real representations of girls, and no I'm not talking about the Gigi Hadids of the world.
Comparing themselves to photos they see on their Instagram feeds can impact women more than they may realize. We need to make sure we understand that social media doesn't always present an accurate depiction of women or their bodies.

Coast Guard Channel Announces 2008 Programming
Dec 18th, 2007 · Comments Off on Coast Guard Channel Announces 2008 Programming
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. – The niche internet television network, the Coast Guard Channel, which initially launched in February, announced its line-up for the first half of 2008. Channel Founder, Tam O'Connor Fraser noted, "The line-up includes new series plus returning favorites. We're encouraged by the overwhelming viewer feedback to all of our programming. They're extremely devoted and vocal about their enthusiasm. We're confident they'll be excited about what we're doing in 2008." Among the new series announced for launch in January:
Coast Guard Moments — Focusing on a specific important date in Coast Guard history, detailing the dramatic events of the day and the people involved.
Boat Smart with Tom Rau — Retired Senior Chief Tom Rau brings his experience to report on amazing rescues at sea and what made the difference between life and death.
Coast Guard Innovation — Exciting new and innovative products being deployed across the Coast Guard.
Who's Your Doggy? — A series profiling Coast Guard mascots. The pilot episode debuted in November.
Also, launching this spring:
The D.O.G. — A series about the Coast Guard's new Deployable Operations Group.
The 'returning favorites' include "Cutters on Patrol", "Medical Emergencies at Sea", "Get to Know a Station", and "On-Location with Scott Morris". The network will also continue to produce its weekly news program, the only newscast entirely focused on Coast Guard-related news. "We also have fascinating new features on tap for 2008," adds Co-Founder Susan O'Connor Fraser. "For example, we're working on stories about the new CASA aircraft and the National Security Cutter. These are compelling packages related to the future of the Coast Guard — something our Viewers are very interested in."
In addition to video content, the Channel features photos, trivia, artists, authors, and viewer content.
Tam Communications, the company behind the Coast Guard Channel, the first Internet television network based on a branch of the military, have spent most of 2007 building content, relationships, and audience. Its 2008 strategy calls for new production and a strong marketing push to reach new viewers. According to Regan Eymann who heads marketing, "We needed the foundation to give people a reason to first come and then return to the Channel. We now have that foundation so 2008 is all about growth."

Rights groups criticize Italy for deporting Tunisia national at risk of torture
Ingrid Burke Friedman | JURIST Features Editor
August 6, 2009 09:13:00 am
[JURIST] Human rights advocates on Wednesday accused Italy of disregarding its obligations under past European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] judgments by deporting terror suspect Ali Ben Sassi Toumi to his native Tunisia. Human Rights Watch (HRW) called the deportation [HRW report] "the latest example of how [Italy] flouts the absolute ban on such returns." Toumi's deportation was ordered despite numerous calls [AI report] on behalf of the ECHR to hold him in Italy due to the potential for torture and bodily harm upon his return to Tunisia. Amnesty International (AI) and other groups have heavily criticized [AI memo] Tunisian prisons, describing serious instances of detainee mistreatment:
Over the years, Amnesty International has received numerous reports of torture and other ill-treatment by the Tunisian security forces. In virtually all cases, allegations of torture are not investigated and the perpetrators are not brought to justice. Individuals are most at risk of torture when in incommunicado detention. The most commonly reported methods of torture are beatings on the body, especially the soles of the feet; suspension by the ankles or in contorted positions; electric shocks; and burning with cigarettes. There are also reports of mock executions, sexual abuse, including rape with bottles and sticks, and threats of sexual abuse of female relatives.
Under the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment [text], of which Tunisia and Italy are both signatories, the two countries are obligated to protect prisoners within their jurisdictions from torture and physical abuse.
The EHCR previously ruled that Italy should stay the deportations of two other suspected criminals in analogous cases. In June 2008, Sami Ben Khemais Essid was deported to Tunisia, and in December 2008 Mourad Trabelsi was returned despite similar calls from the EHCR. Italy also recently caused concern when it criminalized unauthorized immigration [JURIST report] last month. Italy's treatment of its minority ethnic Roma population has resulted in similar criticism from human rights groups. In February, the Italian government dismantled a number of Roma encampments, and last year it was accused of discrimination when it began recording the fingerprints [JURIST reports] of Roma children in a purported effort to reduce street crime.

It was a hot, humid afternoon in Chennai, the grandstands at Chepauk were empty, but the atmosphere in the middle looked close and claustrophobic. England were 241 runs ahead, but you would never have guessed it from the way the Indian fielders were buzzing.
Ravi Ashwin had just had Rory Burns caught at slip off the very first ball of the innings, a devilish delivery that drifted in towards his pads, bit, broke back, flicked off the shoulder of his bat, and triggered a first little flush of panic. The wicket begged the question of how many runs England could get – and more importantly, how many they might need, since India made 328 to win at the Gabba just the other week.
In came Dan Lawrence, 23 years old, and on a pair. Three weeks back, Lawrence made 73 and 21 not out on debut against Sri Lanka; since then he has made 3 (caught slip), 2 (caught keeper) and, in the first innings here, 0 (done lbw by a scything bit of reverse swing).
It had been a long time since Lawrence last batted at No 3: he did it a bit in his first couple of seasons for Essex, made 44 runs in six innings and hasn't been back since. He's doing it now only because Zak Crawley slipped on a marble floor and bust his wrist, so England had an opening. For a long time the rule was that the team's best, and steadiest, batsman went in first drop, but in the past few years it feels like it's become a job no one in the team really wants. In this game there was a case for pushing Joe Root or Ben Stokes, even Ollie Pope, up to do it, but it was left to the rookie.
Lawrence's jaw was working hard on a piece of gum, and his eyes were wide as he looked around the field. A slip, a short leg, a leg gully. He had Virat Kohli barking instructions in one ear, Rishabh Pant chattering away in the other. For India, the shortest route back into the match was straight through Lawrence – and the way they were acting, they didn't think he was going to delay them long.
Up at the other end of the pitch, Ashwin was waiting. Lawrence is a good player of spin, he averages in the 60s against the slow bowlers he has faced in first-class cricket, but this was something else again. The world's best spinner, on his home ground, with a hard new ball in his hand, and a dry, dusty pitch under his feet.
Ashwin started with a carom ball, just to see if Lawrence could pick it, and followed it with a couple of ripping off-breaks – Lawrence missed one, got his bat on the next but the contact was awkward and the ball fell just in front of short leg, the fielders erupted, Ashwin shouted, sighed, smiled.
However this Test turns out, it's unlikely anyone else will remember much about what happened in the hour Lawrence was at the crease, but you guess it will stay with him for ever. It must have been about the hardest little stretch of batting he's had to do. He had his feet working, at least, back, across, forward, like a lightweight ducking punches. Ashwin ripped one over the top of off stump, appealed for lbw off a ball that dipped as if there had been some sudden shift of gravity, called for a review of another lbw that hit Lawrence just outside the line.
Lawrence had just about muddled through it when Kohli brought Ishant Sharma into the attack. Sharma was searching for his 300th Test wicket, and he had a good idea where he was going to find it. He had Lawrence lbw with a ball that seamed in and hit him in front, halfway up middle stump, similar to how Jasprit Bumrah got him in the first innings. If there was an analyst left anywhere in international cricket who didn't know about this little flaw in his technique, they did now. The next question for Lawrence is whether he can fix it, in the same way Dom Sibley shored up his position by learning to play spin bowling these past few weeks.
Lawrence's innings, 18 off 47 balls, won't have any great bearing on this match – but in the grand scheme the passage spoke plenty about the challenges that face a young Test cricketer, and about the state of this England team, too. They are an unusual mix of old pros and young kids still feeling their way in the game: Lawrence, Pope, Crawley and Dom Bess are all 23, Dom Sibley is 25 and, after 15 Tests, is the most experienced of the lot.
England's year isn't just going to turn on how well Root, Jimmy Anderson and Ben Stokes go, but whether this young group of players in the supporting cast can overcome the myriad challenges of Test cricket, which will follow each other just as quick and irresistibly as Sharma's pace followed Ashwin's spin.

Australia Yachting
Posted: 5th Mar 2015 | Written By: Guy Waddilove
There cannot be many countries with coastlines as diverse and unique as Australia's. The nation spans 34 degrees of latitude in one direction and straddles three time zones in the other and with 36,000 kilometres of coastline, it offers a wide range of different climates with a massively varied array of scenery.
The harsh conditions inland have led to the majority of Australia's population being scattered around the coast and, being an island continent, seafaring has always been crucial to Australia.
Recreationally, Australians typically have a strong affinity with the sea. All along the coast each weekend local beaches teem with 'nippers' – junior lifeguard training on a Sunday morning; local fishing enthusiasts in their open aluminium fishing skiffs or 'tinnies' heading out before dawn; local racing fleets from the many yacht clubs staging their weekly racing; and many boat owners out pottering on their local waterway.
Domestically Australia has a robust boating scene; it seems that every few weeks there are new development applications for marinas being submitted. In Sydney, many prime location moorings have waiting lists that you could sit on for 10 years before being allocated a space and, nationally, if boat show organisers are to be believed, even in years when there is a decline in foot traffic at a show, the quality of the visitors is apparently higher and sales seem to increase year on year.
Internationally Australia is very well represented in terms of superyacht crew. In superyacht marinas around the world you never have to walk far before you hear the inevitable twang of 'strine', the unique Australian drawl, coming from one of the many thousand Aussies working in the industry and, despite the fact that Australian commercial qualifications are not compatible with the MCA system, many Australians make long and very successful careers aboard superyachts.
Yet Australia remains one of the smaller players in the superyachting world in terms of both new builds and as a cruising destination.
Each year between 60 and 70 superyachts will visit Australia, their main destinations for cruising will be the Great Barrier Reef, including the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns, and Sydney which is particularly popular around Christmas and New Year for its world famous fireworks on the harbour.
Some will stop for refit work in Brisbane and Cairns, the more adventurous yachts may also take in Tasmania and Melbourne and the very adventurous few will head towards remote Darwin and around the north west of the continent to a further flung wilderness - like Western Australia.
Cruising Australia is geographically challenging both internationally and nationally. Internationally it is a big commitment for a European or American owner to decide to cruise the continent because of the time that it takes to relocate a yacht from the Mediterranean or Caribbean, and also the time that it takes for the owner and guests to travel to the yacht from Europe or the US. Once on board, the cruising areas are spread wide around the continent with long distances between:
Cairns is 1,300nm from Sydney and Darwin is a further 1000nm after that; if you chose to go on to Perth after Darwin around the spectacular north-west coastline it would be another 2,500 nm. While undoubtedly more adventurous than a two hour cross Europe flight for a weekend cruise from Nice to St Tropez, the time and financial costs are significantly higher, and maybe this is why Australia remains an uncrowded and pristine destination.
Unfortunately Australia's government has not embraced or supported the superyacht industry unkike neighbouring New Zealand, and this has affected the growth of the industry with respect to cruising, chartering and new builds.
While some of Australia's superyacht owners do keep their boats around Australia's shores, many others keep their boats overseas (though often retaining a smaller, less conspicuous boat in Australian waters for local use).
Australian owners have been discouraged from bringing foreign flag vessels into Australian waters for a couple of reasons. Firstly tax regulations dictate that a foreign flag vessel which is more than 50% owned by an Australian resident has to be imported which attracts import duties and has tax implications.
The second reason that puts some owners off is the lack of discretion in the Australian media and what is termed 'tall poppy syndrome'; the desire to cut people who have been successful down to size. As soon as a superyacht arrives in Sydney, details of who owns it (whether accurate or not) and some vague (normally wildly inaccurate) approximation of the yacht's value are splashed around the social pages of even supposedly serious newspapers.
Any superyacht owner with the slightest concerns about personal privacy may have good reason to be conscious, or maybe self-conscious about taking a superyacht into Sydney.
The superyacht build industry has two main players at the moment; Silver Yachts and Echo Yachts. Silver Yachts, formerly known as Hanseatic Marine has to date built three yachts over 70 metres as part of its Silver series and has an 80+ metre currently in build.
SILVER Square 83m Pre-Production Phase
Echo is currently building an 84 metre trimaran and a 46 metre catamaran support boat for the same client. The yacht will be the largest superyacht to be built in Australia and the largest tri-hulled superyacht in the world. The yard was originally established for the purpose of building these two vessels. Management report that they are tendering for more projects to follow on from these and have had numerous exciting enquiries as more has been learnt about current builds.
The common theme here is the independent manner in which the two yards have evolved; rather than go to an established shipbuilder the principals of each have both decided to go it alone and set up their own facility to build. This approach reflects what Australians consider to be the 'Australian spirit' handed down from the days of the first settlers two hundred years ago when, if you wanted something done, you just had to get on and do it yourself.
While it is good that these two Australian yacht building companies have managed to retain workers with superyacht building skills, the fact that these yards needed to be established in this manner points to a lack of continuity in the superyacht building industry over the last two decades.
Various yacht builders have come and gone from the industry but whether it is unfavourable exchange rates, lack of government support in terms of tax breaks, the GFC or the high cost of labour, none of these yacht builders have managed to stay the course. Hopefully the current high level of interest in the two yards will be fruitful for the future of Australian superyacht building.
The Australian coast is a spectacular destination to cruise with scenery ranging from the wooded hills and sheltered bays of Tasmania to the tropical reefs of Queensland, the metropolitan chic of Melbourne and Sydney to the wilderness of the Kimberley region with spectacular gorges and waterfalls spilling into the ocean.
Echo Yachts 84m Trimaran Superyacht
If you haven't got time to visit, the weakening Australian dollar may make building or refitting 'down under' more attractive; perhaps the build slot at Echo for an 80 metre in the first quarter of next year is something you should be considering?

Discover a technological breakthrough with the Casio G-Shock Watch.
In developing its own wristwatch Casio began with the basic question, "What is a wristwatch?" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month - not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due to the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the worlds first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.
Square. Round. Whatever the case shape, G-Shock will always be shock-resistant design. It's been that way since 1983.
Our case shapes are designed in such a way to make sure that the buttons are never struck directly if the watch is dropped, no matter what the angle.
Bands with a pre-curved shape act as a shock absorber to ensure that the back of the watch never receives a direct shock. They also lend to a more agronomical fit.
G-Shock watches employ intelligent, LSI-based electronic technologies to achieve unsurpassed precision and to provide a wide range of features and functions which no conventional mechanical watch can match.
Case design takes into consideration the best balance stainless steel and urethane for strength, shock resistance and sophistication.
Utilizing 6 screws to join its stainless steel case, bezel and band, the GIEZ lug design is reinforced at the connection points.
Through high level molding technology, a soft urethane band was developed to ensure a supple ergonomic fit while retaining strength. The band's textured underside reduces skin-contact, for increased breathability.
Utilizing a new 2 piece screw back construction, a full-metal, highly sensitive, Multi-Band 5 G-Shock was achieved, while retaining shock resistance and 200M WR.
Lightweight aluminum hands are reinforced by a brass joining ring, that hold the hand precisely even under extreme impacts and vibrations.
Distinct GIEZ embossed integrated into the band and buckle creates a unique branded design.
Over the years Casio has collaborated with many companies, events, or people creating truly unique digital watches that capture their essence. Combined with classics that we have resurrected for a limited time, creates G-Shock Limited. Limited Edition watches exclusively by Casio. Don't wait cause once they're gone, they're gone.
An unrelenting red with smooth glossy finish makes the AW591RED-4A a combination of REDMAN's intensity and classic G-Shock style. From the Ana-Digi family of G-Shock watches, the REDMAN X G-Shock features neo-brite luminous analog hands as well as digital timer and date windows. Complete with shock and water resistance to an incredible 200 meters, flash alert, multi-function alarm, countdown timer and stopwatch, the limited edition watch features a custom REDMAN engraved back case. "G-Shock is tough and durable, but still raw to the core. I wanted a model that I could wear on my wrist with confidence", said legendary rapper REDMAN.
Casio G-Shock has partnered with world famous tattoo artist, car customizer, illustrator and designer, Mister Cartoon, to create the limited edition DW6900MRC-8. Combining the classic DW6900 with Mister Cartoon's unique artwork. The DW6900MRC-8 comes complete with shock and water resistance to an incredible 200 meters, flash alert, multi-function alarm, countdown timer and stopwatch, the limited edition DW6900MRC-8 has the distinctive Mister Cartoon logo in EL Backlight as well as the engraved back case. "I chose to collaborate with G-Shock because I have seen the evolution and the quality of the watch evolve into an iconic brand. It never goes out of style, I like that G-Shock is interested in connecting technology, culture and art," said Mister Cartoon.
Todd Jordan x G-Shock collaboration (DW5600TOD-8) is based on the iconic DW5600, which is reminiscent of the very first G-Shock, the DW5000. As with every G-Shock timepiece, performance and durability are the foundations of the DW5600TOD-8. Additional features include shock and water resistance to an incredible 200 meters, flash alert, multi-function alarm, countdown timer and stopwatch. "I just wanted the DW5600TOD-8 to look simple. I'm simple and I like black. It's kind of homage to the legendary skater Harold Hunter," said Todd Jordan.
The G-Shock RISEMAN is the world's first watch to feature the Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping Technology, which enables the watch to receive time calibration radio signals from up to six transmitters worldwide. For superior display accuracy, the signals are received up to six times a day.
Inspired by those who challenge high altitudes, the RISEMAN features a shock resistant design while the barometric pressure, altitude, and temperature measurement capabilities of this watch make it a perfect choice for mountain bike downhill racing, backcountry skiing and snowboarding, and just about any other sport where the action can get fast and furious. The altimeter mode has its own independent stopwatch, which can be used to keep track of altitude changes over time. In classic G-Shock fashion, the backcover of this model is imprinted with a dragon, since according to folklore, dragons are mystical rulers of weather.
The crystal oscillator and other important parts inside the module are individually protected with cushioning material. Individual cushioning prevents contact failures and improper operation due to distortions that could otherwise occur inside the module if the watch experienced a sudden strong impact.
The G-Shock RISEMAN features a unique three-layer structured shock resistant twin sensor to measure altitude and barometric pressure as well as temperature. This is yet another example of G-Shock's constantly evolving toughness and technology.
Stainless steel is known for its hardness and resin for its toughness. Taking advantage of both these characteristics enabled us to realize a design in which two completely different materials intertwine beautifully and unite with one another.
Forged modeling provides surface structure that makes the most of cutting work and polished finishing to realize a sharp-edged quality look.
Dyeing treatment applied to the hands gives a shark look. Radial concavo-convex shaping of the back surface of the solar dial ads to its expression of profundity.
The buckle features a sharply defined, high-quality brand mark with etching processing applied and a urethane guard added to protect the mark.
Four shaved-off screws grace the top surface of the bezel, and forged side bottoms with an engraved G-mark add further emphasis to the image of solidity. We focused on every aspect of every part in our commitment to the highest quality.
Receives time calibration signals and corrects the time automatically. Casio watched with Wave Ceptor technology receive radio waves carrying American Standard Time data transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado. It then corrects the time automatically for one of four U.S. cities you pre-select depending on your time zone and displays the time.
Correct time reception, self adjusting.
Compatibility with all six transmission stations worldwide: Multi Band 6 is the worlds first radio-controlled system built to receive time calibration signals from six transmission stations: two in Japan and one each in North America, the United Kingdom and Germany, plus the new station in China.
Miniaturized, shock-resistant, high-sensitivity amorphous antenna.
Casio watches with solar technology, receive thermal and electrical energy that recharges the watch batteries through solar panels on the face of the watch. A solar panel converts even weak illumination from fluorescent lighting into electric power. A rechargeable battery with a large power storage capacity supports stable operation of various functions with high electricity consumption. You never have to worry about the battery running down because it's a solar battery.
Digital display of various functions.
Multifunctional chronograph with 5-motor drive.
From full EL backlights that illuminate the display with just a tilt of the wrist by 40 degrees from the horizontal position and some sense light and dark automatically to bright LED lights.
From alarms with a snooze function to countdown alarms.
High-performance sensors that measure directions, altiitute and atmospheric pressure/temperature.


"CMS" stands for "Content Management System." A more descriptive term would be, "Website That Is Easy to Update and Manage Instead of a Huge Hassle," but that's a little long. The goal of a good CMS is to make it painless, even a little fun, to add and manage the content on your website. No matter which CMS you choose, it's extremely helpful to understand a few basics about how they work.


Golf is a popular outdoor sport. The attire you are wearing while playing is part of the sport's tradition and etiquette. Golfers try to dress as best as they can for the game. Hence, trendy and comfortable golf apparel is a usual sight in the golf course. Players looking and feeling good are more likely to deliver remarkable performance. Moreover, it allows them to experience fun and enjoyment.
When deciding for the suitable golf wear, always consider the current weather and the regulations of the golf club. It should allow you to move freely and execute the golf swing.
Baseball style caps and visors are the usual type of golf hats used by golfers. Their main purpose is to shield your face and head from sun's ray during summer and to keep you warm during winter. A cloudy weather is not a guarantee that you will not get sunburn. Therefore, it is always safe to keep your hats ready when playing golf. Golf caps are available any time of the year. During winter, golfers can wear a beanie as a protective headgear.
Golf course management prohibits wearing tank tops and t-shirts for its golfers. Most of the golf courses require its players to wear a collared shirt during the game. Golf polo shirts vary in color, sizes, and materials depending on your preferred brand. The style includes short-sleeve and long-sleeve shirt. Women wear the same style of polo shirt, but more fitted than men's attire. Men usually tucked their polo shirts inside their shorts or slacks, creating a neat appearance.
Golf polo shirts come in numerous innovative materials, ranging from advance stretch, sweat control, shrink-free, and wrinkle-free textiles. Polo shirts made of light fabric absorb sweat to give you comfortable feeling during the game. There are also shirts with anti-microbial properties to prevent body odor. We at Rockbottomgolf offer an extensive selection of golf shirts designed for men and women.
The unpredictable weather necessitates the use of golf jackets to protect you from cold weather, wind, and rain. Jackets of waterproof materials allow golfers to withstand the weather during the rainy season. You can also wear golf vest or sweater during cold weather.
Golfers prefer shorts made of cotton materials, especially during hot weather. Khaki shorts are a popular choice among golfers. You can also wear water resistant golf pants without cuffs. Make sure that you know the existing restrictions because some private golf clubs require its golfers to wear pants.
Women can wear Capri pants, golf shorts, skirts, skorts, and trousers. Skorts are shorts for women designed like a skirt. Women should always wear modest clothes on the golf course.
You cannot play golf with jeans, denim shorts, and basketball or running shorts. Shorts and pants should provide you comfort.
Advance technology introduces unique fabric to the market such as materials for moisture control. With this kind of fabric, you will experience an entire day of comfort. Other textiles incorporate spandex due to its stretchability. This material allows easy movement for golfers. Pants with modern design include styles with several pockets where you can place your accessories. You can visit our wide choices of pants and shorts.
Golf shoes are an essential part of golf apparel because it provides you comfort during the game. Great footwear gives balance while executing a golfer's swing. The soles of golf shoes molded with soft rubber or plastic spikes offer traction, especially on slippery and wet surfaces. Some golf courses do not allow the conventional metal spikes.
Socks are important part of a golfers' footwear. Advances in technology created fiber materials, which keep the golfers' feet dry. Socks extending up to the ankle are the usual choice among golfers.
Gloves provide grip to avoid slipping of the club while playing. It is useful in both hot and cold weather. You can observe that golfers wear gloves during driving and remove it during delicate plays. Materials of golf gloves vary from leather, thermal, and synthetic. Golfers choose the traditional leather for a better gripping capacity. An excellent glove provides good ventilation. Visit our catalog of gloves at Rockbottomgolf to check a suitable option for you.

Most of the available research chemicals today usually promote different sensations or psychological effects like attaining euphoric state. However, compounds like GW501516 are meant to target a person's overall health by working on common problems like fat accumulation, obesity, and cardiovascular problems. GW was once tapped as a possible solution for dyslipidemia, obesity and other related health problems due to its properties. New researchers must know what this compound can do for a person's body before obtaining it from distributors for research replication.
People work out to burn fat and slim down. Nevertheless, the body's fat burning process tends to use carbohydrates and muscle proteins first and leave stored fats untouched. Hence, significant weight loss does not manifest regardless of doing strenuous workout daily. With GW501516, users can tweak the fat burning process to focus on stored fats instead of utilizing essential muscle proteins and carbohydrates.
This compound works in boosting glucose uptake in muscle tissues. On the other hand, it also works in aiding muscular gene expression, which will instruct the body to burn stored fats instead of breaking down other nutritive components. Experts claim that this process can help obese people to lose weight effectively, especially for those suffering from metabolic abnormalities.
More than its potential as a fat-burning aid, GW501516 can also have a major role in tweaking the body's tolerance to fat by improving the muscles' composition. Taking this compound will increase muscle mass, which is crucial in keeping fats from accumulating in the body. Higher muscle mass means higher resistance from fat accumulation and resulting to effective weight loss and weight management.
Research studies show that mice subjected to the compound retained their weight despite high-fat diet introduced during trials. Results of this research give way to claims that the compound offers protective components against weight gain induced by high fat diet.
Therefore, people can claim that this compound will work in two ways when it comes to eliminating fat by promoting effective weight loss targeting actual stored fats for energy and protecting the body from excessive fat accumulation.
GW501516 has also been a subject of several studies in tapping its potential in boosting exercise endurance. Adding this component with AICAR or 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide may enhance exercise endurance for test animals.
However, GW compound is also known to boost endurance on its own and had been labeled as a component similar to performance-enhancing drugs. Mice with tweaked genetic makeup to release PPARd in its muscles showed to have better endurance. Since GW acts like a catalyst to activate the same pathways, users are guaranteed to have better endurance and do more exercise repetitions if needed.
In fact, it had been widely known that many individuals were reportedly taking it for boosting their endurance in sports. Its popularity is due to its ability to boost endurance faster than other similar components.
Targeting fat stored in the body means improving HDL and LDL levels. People can also protect themselves from diabetes-inducing components brought by obesity and other factors. Since this solution can also increase endurance, users will be able to work out more, which means promoting better cardiovascular health and blood circulation. Working on fats and enhancing workout endurance will guarantee the user will be free from numerous health risks brought by today's lifestyle problems.
Overall, GW501516 offers numerous benefits through its mechanisms once it has started working in the body. Individuals looking for good solutions to deal with fats while improving their exercise practices will find GW a great help. However, you should only order this research chemical from a reliable dealer to ensure positive results in studies.

This study examines the cause and effect relationship between the use of cell phones, which are the widest spread communication technology in the modern day, and the formation of social capital which occurs among members of small groups. Previous research into the effects of cell phone use has primarily focused on individual-level effects, such as texting while driving, leaving a gap in our understanding of the technology's larger social implications. One social process that cell phones may affect is social capital, or the networks of assistance which exist in our lives, and the associated norms of trust and reciprocity therein. As an important aspect of our social lives, anything that may influence social capital (positively or negatively) is worth a thorough examination. Trends in both social capital and the use of cell phones suggest that there may be negative effects when it comes to the formation of social capital in the first place. Using social capital formation (calling upon others for aid and developing a sense of trust and reciprocity) as the main dependent variable, this study tests a number of hypotheses related to differences in interactions between members of a group in the presence and absence of cell phone use.
Utilizing an experimental design, undergraduate participants from a Midwestern university are placed into experimental (able to use cell phones) and control (not able to use cell phones) groups, and asked to work through a small task during a testing period. Quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analysis (including t-tests, regressions and path analysis) are employed to understand how group members worked together and how they felt about their interactions. The results from this study indicate an overall negative impact of cell phones use on social capital formation, with differences in the types and degrees of interactions, and feelings of trust and reciprocity, occurring in the presence and absence of cell phone use. This relationship is nuanced by demographic considerations and the influence of perceived interaction quality. This study has implications for theoretical understandings and future research, offering insight to the impacts of technology on our social world.

Parks + Wilderness
This stunning park in Canada has no roads in or out. You need to go anyway.

Dan Arnett
Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in British Columbia has everything the Canadian Rockies are famous for — including craggy mountain peaks and turquoise lakes — but without the crowds you get in a place like Banff National Park. With no roads in or out, the park is essentially undeveloped. Aside from an old backcountry lodge, a smattering of rustic log cabins, and a barebones campground, the only development you'll find is a network of hiking trails connecting you to some of the most beautiful and pristine backcountry you can find anywhere.
Photo: Dan Arnett
Without those roads, you have only two options to arrive at Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park: Hike in on one of the two main trails connecting the park to the outside world, or save your legs some hard work and helicopter in. When I visited in 2016 we were operating on a pretty narrow timetable, so we took the chopper in. It's about $130-$150 one way, at current exchange rates, depending on which helipad you fly out of. While it's obviously the more expensive choice, the whirlybird saves you a lot of time and also gives you some unforgettable views. Just hold your camera up to the window, point, and snap. You'll get one of the best pictures you've ever taken.
Still, depending on your schedule and your budget, it might not be worth it to shell out upwards of $150 (CAD $200) just to get there. If you decide to hoof it in, you've got two main options. If you're coming from the north, closer to Banff, you'll park your car at Sunshine Village Ski and Snow Resort, then make the 18-mile journey south. While this is the longer hiking option, it's also the easiest as there is very little elevation gain. For a shorter but more strenuous route, you'll ditch the car at the Mount Shark trailhead 25 miles south of Canmore, and make the strenuous yet beautiful trek via Wonder Pass. It's possible to do this all in one day, provided you get up early enough, but it's easier to spend a night at the Bryant Creek shelter.
One more note of caution here: Although the aptly named Wonder Pass is a marvel to behold, it is also known for high levels of grizzly activity. In fact, the section between Bryant Creek and Mt. Assiniboine stays closed during August and September to limit human-bear interaction. Use standard grizzly precaution here: Hike in a group, announce your presence with some noise as you go, and make sure you're carrying bear spray.
The core of the park centers around Lake Magog, a stunning glacial lake that reflects the snow-capped cornice of Mt. Assiniboine. Within a couple kilometers of the lake are some backcountry campsites, a group of primitive cabins called the Naiset Huts, and the historic Assiniboine Lodge.
Should you choose to camp, you'll need to make reservations far ahead of time. Backcountry camping is strictly regulated in order to preserve the wilderness, and while the park may be remote, the few campsites here are in high demand, especially in the summer months. While the sites themselves are spartan and fires are not allowed, there's a handsome common area complete with a massive picnic shelter, bear lockers, running water, and grey water disposal. A sprawling network of trails connects the sites with the rest of the lodge area. While you're never too far from the lodge, the lake, or trail access, you still have a sense of privacy and solitude in the woods.
If the backcountry camp sounds a bit too rough, you may want to check out the rustic Naiset Huts. Connected by a series of trails and boardwalks over the alpine meadows surrounding the lodge, each one-room log hut contains a wood-burning stove and can sleep five to eight people. While the Naiset Huts do not have kitchens, there is a communal kitchen building that all hut residents share. Staying in a hut is a great way to stay warm, feel a bit more secure, and enjoy a greater sense of community.
But if money is no object, then you owe it to yourself to stay at the Assiniboine Lodge. Built in 1928 and located 16 miles from the nearest road, the lodge is North America's first backcountry ski lodge. Nearly a century later it still provides welcome comfort to adventurers who travel so far from civilization to explore this unspoiled wilderness. Each cozy bedroom has a private woodburning stove and can accommodate up to three people. All meals are included during your stay — including a packed lunch for your day trips — and guided hikes are complimentary. After a long day in the wilderness, return to the historic dining room for a three-course meal with a selection of wine and beer.

The most popular activity by far is hiking. With miles of pristine trails cutting through alpine forests, unrolling over flowered meadows, and hugging glacial lakes, the park is a hiker's paradise. One of the longest hikes in the area takes you from the lodge past nearby Lake Og up to the heights of the aptly named Windy Ridge. Although the views are worth it, don't underestimate the "slog from Og" as it is known; give this one a good chunk of your day.
A more casual stroll will take you to Cerulean Lake and Sunburst Lake, whose sapphire waters are hemmed in by pines and the towering peaks of the snow-capped Rockies. The park's signature hike is what's commonly referred to as "The Nub." Don't let its diminutive nickname fool you; this small, rocky perch offers the biggest views in the park, a panorama that is the stuff of photographers' dreams.
If you're like me, then it's hard to look at all this water without wondering if there are some fish in there. While trout are not native to these lakes, they were indeed stocked in the early days of the lodge and can still be found in good numbers and healthy size today. And while the park is by no means an angling destination, you can still have some pretty decent luck even with modest equipment.
Right before our helicopter ride, I ran into a Canadian Tire (sort of like a Wal-Mart) and got a basic rod and reel plus some spoons all for about 30 bucks. Whichever lake you fish in, look for rocky features and cast about 30 to 45 feet from the bank with a slow retrieval to give your spoon some time to sink. I had my best luck at Cerulean Lake and Lake Magog. The best spot was right where a stream emptied into Lake Magog. Keep casting into that confluence and you're sure to reel in a decent sized rainbow, brown, or cutthroat. Just make sure you've got a British Columbia fishing license. They're available at the lodge.

Q: Total Chromatic Number of Regular Bipartite Graphs What can we say about the total chromatic number of regular bipartite graphs that are not complete? Can we say they are of type 1[Total Colorable(no adjacent/incident elements have same color) by $\Delta+1$ colors where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of the graph].
Can we say that regular, noncomplete bipartite graphs are formed by removing 1-factors recursively? If that be the case, then I think these graphs are of type 1. Any hints? Thanks beforehand.
On the other hand, can we use adjacent strong edge coloring, as mentioned here

A: No, any even cycle graph with order not divisible by $3$ is a regular bipartite graph with total chromatic number $4=\Delta+2\,\,,\Delta=2$. Therefore, it may be conjectured that a regular bipartite graph with every cycle(or posibly girth) divisible by $3$ would satisfy being type $1$.

Hi. Downloaded Fallout 3 GOTY edition. Installed fine but keeps crashing when I try and start a new game. Please help before I drop kick it through the window. Thanks.
Needs a mouse to run fallout I believe.

According to steam Fallout 3 GOTD is compatible with XP and Vista, so try running it in compatibility mode for Vista and see if that helps.
I have no idea if it's still relevant but I noticed a really old post from four and a half years ago that said it didn't like quad cores and to make some ini changes to force it to only use two of them.
That said, I have a Steam account with access to over 2,000 games between myself and my partner, I'd spend a lifetime testing them all.
So I'm lazy, I use Streaming between my PC and the Vision Tablet! I may install games like Cook, Serve, Delicious however once I get an SD Card.
Extract files from archive in to the game directory or where game execution file exist (.exe).
Run game launcher to reconfigure it again.
After about a week of trying bought a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to get Star Wars Battlefront 2 to work, runs fine but would recommend tweaking a few of the settings. I have high textures, low water, shadows and lighting I think plus my view distance nearly full and it runs about 30 FPS no noticeable drops. Also Knights of the old Republic gets past the menu with keyboard and mouse but haven't played it yet will update you on that later... Tried Star Wars the force Unleashed and it isn't playable running at about 18 FPS constantly but I am going to try and see if I can boost the performance in my tablet for games in anyway. If anybody knows how to would be appreciated. I'll post these on list in the future when I get a bit of time, thanks for the list... Helped me end up deciding to purchase this!
Im sure I have mentioned this a few times. Alot of games refuse to work if no keyboard and mouse is connected.
Im currently using Ipega controller as its seen as keyboard / mouse / controller in one. So there by tricking game as it were.
Hoping to try Mass Effect Andromeda on my linx Vision later this week. So I can take it on Holiday with me. Other than that, I suppose I could just stream it.

Dayi (, literally "big easy") is a system for entering Chinese characters on a standard QWERTY keyboard using a set of 46 character components. A character is built by combining up to four of the 46 characters (the other six are provided for typing Taiwanese addresses), using a system similar to that of Cangjie, but is decomposed in stroke order instead of in geometric shape in Cangjie.

On most keyboards in Taiwan, most keys show four symbols. On the keys, the Latin letters are in the upper left, Bopomofo symbols on the upper right, Cangjie symbols on the lower left, and Dayi symbols on the lower right.

Layout
Like Cangjie, every radical has some auxiliary shapes; but some of the auxiliary shapes of one radical originate from the mnemonic word of the radical. For example, key 6 is mapped to 車(car) in the keyboard, its mnemonic word is "6片車門"(six pieces of car door), and its auxiliary shapes include "片"(piece), "爿"(old character for "wall", its shape is the reflection of "片"), "甫"(its shape is like "車"), "門"(door), "鬥"(to battle or to fight, its shape is like "門").

Methodology
The following are rules of the Dayi input method:
 Input is with accordance to Chinese writing stroke order: "top first, then bottom", "left first, then right".
 For characters made of more than 4 symbols, enter the first three and the last symbol.For instance, "壽" (士乛工口手舟) is represented by just 4 symbols: 士乛工舟 (FBR.).
 For symmetrical characters, enter the center followed by either side.For instance, "巫" is represented by 工人人 (RAA).
 "臼" (W) is the wildcard key for the top part of words regardless of the contents:Examples:兒 = 臼儿 (WQ)與 = 臼一八 (WE8)覺 = 臼冖目儿 (WM3Q)

Sample Learning Technique
One common frustration of learning any Chinese input method is not knowing the correct sequence of keys to enter. This problem can be alleviated with the help of an answer table. The following technique can be used to familiarize oneself with the Dayi keyboard layout. Speed and proficiency will develop with additional practice.
This technique can be used with other input methods as well using similar lookup tables as answers.

 Find a source of commonly used Chinese vocabulary to type. This can may be found on the Internet by usage frequency or HSK level. For Dayi, use the list of Chinese Traditional words.(Also see List of Commonly Used Characters in Modern Chinese)
 Navigate to a lookup table to use as an answer key.For Dayi [with 4 keystrokes or less], dayin4.cin is publicly available on the Internet at various open-source repositories (see external links).
 Using the annotated image of the Dayi keyboard layout, look for the radicals that make up the character.Enter them according to the methodology.
 If the character is not successfully entered, search the answer table for the desired sequence of keystrokes.Try to understand why those keystrokes are used.Note that there may be more than one answer for conciseness.醫 = 匚牛大酉 (R2V8),It can be condensed into 匚酉 (R8) since it does not conflict with other words in the dictionary.
 Repeat with roughly 150 words in the word list.
 Repeat with roughly the next 150 word in the word list.If possible, this time avoid turning to the annotated layout of the Dayi keyboard.
 After successful practice, about 300 items have been entered.The locations of many common radicals (such as 日一言木土) would be quite familiar.

Comparison with other Chinese input methods
The keyboard layout for the Dayi input method contains keys for many of the Kangxi radicals in its entirety. This means that a single keystroke accounts for the left half or right half of many Chinese characters. For instance, "車" in "輸" (6AJN) is represented by "6". This allows for characters to be represented by 4 keys or less. In comparison, in Cangjie, "車" in "輸" (JJOMN) is represented by "JJ" for "十十", thus requiring up to 5 keys per Chinese character. A user of Cangjie would require experience and attention to decomposition rules to notice that the "田" segments of the Kangxi radical are omitted.

Unlike other input methods, Dayi's use of 46 character components instead of 26 happens to be its greatest impediment, because it makes typing digits and punctuation marks very inconvenient.

Some supported operating systems
Some operating systems that support the Dayi input method are:
 Microsoft Windows 8/10
 Microsoft Windows 95/XP
 Linux (via ibus-tables or similar)
 Apple Macintosh (via openvanilla or similar)

Doc Brown and Marty McFly's experience of 2015 wasn't exactly accurate – but as Pew researchers know, it's difficult to predict some aspects of the future.
Pew Research Center director of internet and technology, Lee Rainie, writing for the World Economic Forum (WEF) has said the sharing economy, evolving relationships between technology and society and "broader social confusions and concerns about technology" were issues that concerned the World Economic Forum.
The WEF annual meeting of the Global Future Councils 2017 is due to begin on 11 November and will "allow [the 700] members to jointly explore ways of facilitating systemic change in critical areas such as health, energy and infrastructure through breakthrough technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution", the WEF said.
With this in mind, Mr Rainie identified four things that experts, corporate executives, civil-society actors and policy-makers just aren't so sure about when it comes to life in 2030.
Will we create more meaningful work?
To Mr Rainie, it's a difficult question to answer.
"There is no consensus about whether the forces unleashed by technology destroy more jobs than they create or whether the historic pattern of human upskilling prevails as new, more valuable jobs replace those supplanted by technology," he explained.
The way education and skills-training adapt to a changing work climate is "extremely relevant", he said, noting that many colleges and trade schools are creating and implementing hybrid courses which use both in-person and online experiences to teach.
"Will this adaptation be sufficient to the task? It depends on the talents rewarded by the next economy," he continued.
Pointing to research done by the Pew Research Center, Mr Rainie said most experts are focused on how education programmes can teach students to be lifelong learners.
Can we master greater connectivity?
Noting that many people believe the internet will be "everywhere" for the next generation and will be built into the environment and objects, he said experts argue internet will become like electricity.
He said it will "fade into the background… less visible but deeply embedded in human endeavours".
Regardless of individuals' levels of internet literacy, there will be an "unprecedented expansion of knowledge and learning".
He explained that "bad actors" will have the capacity to execute societal disruptions remotely and with scale, and as such, policy-makers are "faced with some hard, costly choices".
In an era of 'fake news', is it possible to revive trust and truth?
Labelling trust a "social, economic and political binding agent", Mr Rainie said the absence of trust leads to violence, chaos and "paralysing risk aversion".
"There is considerable concern that the way people use the internet is degrading trust," he warned.
There is considerable concern that fake news "preys on deep human instincts", like preferences for information that supports individual views, Mr Rainie said. Further, these preferences "make people vulnerable to the ways new tech tools can identify, target and manipulate them".
At the same time, however, Mr Rainie said society has historically proven itself capable of addressing problems brought in by communications revolutions.
Can social and organisational innovation alleviate new problems? And if so, how much?
The social and economic upheaval that will come with future technologies and phenomena will force both organisations and people to adjust.
Nevertheless: "Some primary aspects of collective action and power are already changing as social networks become a societal force," he said.
At the same time, societies will need to contend with questions like, who owns particular information and who is permitted to use it and profit from it. Other debates will open up about responsibility in terms of robotics and AI – for example, what happens if a self-driving car hurls itself off a bridge?


Consideration of young man (Georg) who is going to marry fiancée from a wealthy family about sending a letter to his friend who wasn't successful in life.
A very angry reaction of Georg's father for an innocent question of his son and following suicide of the son (Georg).
The first part represents Kafka as a highly introverted writer, the narrator demonstrates the great unsureness in generally not such an important deal. Franz Kafka had very complicated relationships with his father. For this reason, many people believe that the story "The Judgment" is partly autobiographical.
The second part shows how important could be a word which is said by parents to their children. Sometimes children would exaggerate what they heard and it could lead to terrible results.
"What we need are books that hit us like a most painful misfortune, like the death of someone we loved more than we love ourselves, that make us feel as though we had been banished to the woods, far from any human presence, like a suicide. A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us."
It is better to avoid reading Kafka in the moments of weakness when a reader is perplexed, uncertain of himself and have to weigh conflicting perspectives for and against competing options. It will not be helpful.
But it is definitely a didactic and memorable work.

This parish, anciently Donaghaneigh, is situated on the road from Dungannon to Omagh, and contains, according to the Ordnance survey, 17,791½ statute acres (including a detached portion of 2368½ acres), about 8,000 of which are arable, mostly under a good system of cultivation.
There is a market at Beregh (Beragh) on Wednesday, and a fair on the first Monday in every month; and fairs are also held at Seskinore, on the second Monday in every month, for livestock.
The principal seats are:
Gortmore, the residence of J. Galbraith, Esq.;
Mullaghmore, of R. Burges, Esq.;
Seskinore, of Mrs. Perry; and Somerset, of the Rev. J. Lowry.
The living is a rectory, in the diocese of Armagh, and in the patronage of the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, who purchased the advowson in 1830: the tithes amount to £692.
The church is a large and handsome edifice, built about 1746, and enlarged and much improved in 1773. The glebe-house was built in 1774, about which time the parish was disunited from Termon: it is large and handsome, and is on a glebe of 154 acres;
there is also a glebe at Upper Clogherny, comprising 422 acres, and another called Mullaghollin, in the parish of Termon, comprising 508 acres, making a total of 1,084 acres of arable land, besides about 850 acres of mountain and bog.
The R. C. parish is co-extensive with that of the Established Church, and is called Beragh; there are chapels at Beregh, Liskmore, and Brackey.
At Dervethroy is a meeting-house for Presbyterians in connection with the Synod of Ulster, of the third class; and at Seskinore is one in connection with the Associate Synod.
The parochial school, situated near the church, is a large and handsome edifice, built by the inhabitants, at a cost of £800, and is supported by the rector; and there are 11 other schools in the parish, also four Sunday schools.
About a mile from the church are the ruins of the old church of Donaghaneigh, in a large townland, which is extra-parochial and belongs to the Bishop of Clogher.

As education consultants in Mumbai, we deal with a lot of students who are looking to explore and diversify their options when it comes to doing their higher studies. While traditionally, students from India have looked to the U.S, U.K, Canada and Australia for their higher education, other destinations like Hong Kong, Singapore, Netherlands and Germany are appealing to a diverse international student body. South Korea is the newest addition to this list for the student who is looking for an alternative, unique experience. As of 2013, 500 Indian students were studying in South Korea, with the number expected to rise in the next couple of years. It offers many benefits; from a great infrastructure, lower costs, access to resources and smaller classrooms.
There are 400 universities in Korea, with 40 of them being public. The highest quality universities are located in Seoul (approximately 20), including the three that are most well known, Seoul National University, Yonsei University and Korean University. Although you can set your sights outside of Seoul, Korean language skills are more required the further you move away from the capital city.
Besides this, there is a new global campus in Seoul that is growing to include universities from outside Korea. While the main campus of some of these universities is located in the U.S, it is less expensive to study at their Korean campus than studying at their main U.S. campus. Admissions to these universities is relatively easier in comparison to the local top universities, as they do not focus solely on academic achievement.
The Korean education system is highly competitive. You need to be academically inclined to be seriously considered for admission to a Korean university and only students with a 36+ in their IBDP are considered by the top 7 universities. There are no entrance exams and the transcripts need to be sent by October of the previous year. The requirement to submit SAT varies from university to university. The first term of the academic year begins in September and the second term starts in March.
Studying in Korea is relatively easy on the pocket, with an average tuition fee in Seoul amounting to USD 6,500 (approximately 4 lakhs 35 thousand).
Over 50% of students in top universities find employment within their field, but bear in mind that the vast majority of international students who go to Korean universities go back to their home countries. It is now becoming more common for students to stay in Korea after their degree once they have secured the necessary paperwork.
A high percentage of international students tend to be Americans of Korean origin, though there is growing interest among other Asian countries. For example, 60% of the students at Yonsei University are international, with the majority of them being from China. Though Korean language skills are helpful, there are colleges in these Universities that provide all their courses in English, such as The Underwood College at Yonsei University. This is a liberal arts college, offering majors such as economics and and political science and international relations. The rigour of the program is maintained with a diverse faculty, where 95.6% hold doctorates in their field of study.
With regards to the undergraduate programs, Seoul National University offers two kinds of scholarships. One of them is the Korean Government Scholarship Program. (KGSP) This is typically for students who wish to study a four-year course and it is given to about 20-40 students. The Overseas Korean Scholarship is another award given to approximately 5 students. Most Korean universities will agree to offer aid on the condition that you are willing to learn the language intensively.
Korea is an interesting destination for students who are looking for countries with the same resources as the West, without the heavy price tag. Despite the language barrier, Korea can be a promising environment for students, with more universities offering liberal arts options and teaching courses in English as well as the opportunity to specialise in fields like technology and cosmetology (especially practices in plastic surgery) and explore Asian culture.

Electoral Systems
São Tome and Príncipe
Cameroon has used the same electoral system since 1992 to elect the 180 members of the National Assembly.
Allocation Method
There are a mixture of single-member (SMDs) and multimember (MMDs) districts. In each district, a party must present a list of candidates equal to the number of mandates available (e.g. one candidate in an SMD).
In SMDs, the single-member plurality system determines the winner. Put more simply, the candidate of the party with the most votes wins.
In MMDs, any list that gains a majority of the vote wins all of the seats. Otherwise, the first-place list receives one-half of the seats rounded up to the nearest whole number if necessary. The remaining seats are then distributed among the other parties that earned at least 5% of the votes cast in the constituency according to the largest remainder system of proportional representation with a Hare quota.
Additional documents, maps, and information on sources below.
Allocation Example
This table shows the votes and allocation process in 1992 in Wouri, a constituency with 9 seats in Littoral Province. UPC came in first but did not win a majority, which would have qualified it to receive all 9 seats. Instead, it received one-half of the seats rounded up, or 5 seats (9/2 = 4.5, rounded up to 5).
The remaining four seats were divided among the three other parties with more than 5% of the district vote: RDPC, UNDP and PNP. A Hare quota for these parties equals 20,350–the total votes cast for the three parties, 81,403, divided by the number of remaining seats, 4. Seats were then awarded for multiples of full Hare quotas, so RDPC and UNDP each gained one seat. The Remainder Votes column shows the votes unused by the three parties towards a full Hare quota. The remaining two seats were allotted in descending order of these remainders, so first RDPC received a seat and then UNDP gained the last seat.
In Cameroon, the President delimits parliamentary constituencies within provinces and can subdivide administrative districts within a province into multiple electoral districts or, more rarely, combine administrative districts into a single electoral district.

In his early writing Plato championed gymnastics and music as the major components of education for students from 6-18. Gymnastics was about gaining control, balance and flexibility (of the body) while music would emphasize rhythm, harmony, and community structure. The two components were thought of as essential learning.
Later, Plato would delineate a wider range of specific foci and these for the most part are still the secondary school departments and teacher certifications today. They are far more narrow in scope and rigid in approach.
Go to the oldest continuous community gardens in the state – located in New Paltz. Begin at Main Street and ask directions. When you get to the gardens, find out about it. Discover what you can. Let the soil run thru your fingers. Talk to the practitioners. What crops are doing well? Feel free to sketch.
Go to Main Street and explore a section of it. Make a map of the places you find along a stretch of the road. Go into each place unfamiliar to you.
Get a current local newspaper. Find something detailed in it that you'd like to do and do it.
Check out a cemetery. (This on Halloween.) What did you discover?
Each was intended to serve as orientation, exploration, and writing prompt, and in this way to connect the world to the academy. Many comp teachers requested my list over the years. A few created their own "assignments" along similar lines. Try it yourself.
Find the community Gardens of New Paltz, the oldest community gardens in the State of NY. Begin on Main Street and without asking directions from anyone proceed on foot (no cars in the early days). Keep in mind what you now know about where the early cities were located and why.
Often learning is about connecting the dots. The Eureka moment persists, synaptically we think. Quite often it isn't that you have created something new, but that you have understood a relationship between physical realities and ideas. This is not the same as clicking on computer icons and imagery.Just as Newton and the falling apple made gravity tangible, or Archimedes and the overflowing tub measured displaced volume, engaging in exploration yourself matters. John Dewey called it experiential learning. I use the phrase "learner active lessons," to suggest that teachers can design their own.


Almond Joy cam in with sore feet. When we first checked him out the soles of his feet were so hard they were like rocks. We treated him to soften up his feet. The vet checked him and found him a little sore in the toes. We have put him a diet and put shoes on him. While he is not perfect he is remarkably better. He has lost weight and when the vet checked him again he felt he was close to being 100% sound. We will continue to with hold grain and give extra grain just in case he has some type of metabolic problem. At this point in time he appears to be very easy to ride and does 3 gaits well. He is a horse you have to push. We are putting him in the how low can he go program but I think he might be a good beginner walk trot canter horse. I also think he is one of the more beautiful individuals we've seen in a while.


Stockton forward James Bates described the Thunder and the Victoria Salmon Kings as two junkyard dogs going after the same piece of meat.
Both would like to get a taste of their second win of the season.
Today's 7:05 p.m. matchup at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, British Columbia, is between teams that are trying to recover from slow starts. The Thunder and the Salmon Kings also play at noon Sunday.
Stockton enters the contest 1-4, and Victoria is 1-5. Neither can afford to continue its slump, which is why Bates came up with his canine-inspired analogy.
"It think that's exactly what it's going to be like," Bates said. "Both teams need the win and will be going in there hard. It will be a battle."
The Thunder lost its first four games of the season before beating the Ontario Reign 3-0 Saturday at Stockton Arena. Thunder coach Matt Thomas was happy with the win, but doesn't want the team to get too excited.
"(The Salmon Kings) are trying to find their way, just like we're trying to find our way. And I guess you could say that we won our last game and have found our way, but that would be getting too full of yourself," Thomas said.
"We won one and that's great, but we also lost four in a row, and it's going to be an extremely tough weekend."
Goaltender Andrew Perugini, who had 35 saves in Stockton's shutout, said the players just need to remember what they did correctly as they hit the road.
"We played hard; our forecheck was strong; we stuck to the game plan," Perugini said. "We showed what we can do when we play our game."

Q: Transposing of Large and Narrow Images in C I am trying to process large .pgm images in C. The images are first read in the format Image, as matrices of unsigned char elements:
struct Matrix{
  int rows;
  int cols;
  unsigned char * data;
  int widthStep;
};
typedef struct Matrix Image;

I am using the following function to read the images, with netpbm (netpbm/pam.h):
Image * loadPBM(char * fname){
  FILE * file;
  struct pam inpam;
  tuple * tuplerow;
  unsigned int row;
  Image * image;
  int aux;

  file=fopen(fname,"r");
  pnm_readpaminit(file, &inpam, /*PAM_STRUCT_SIZE(tuple_type)*/
  sizeof(struct pam));

  printf("Reading image\n");

  /* allocating image*/
  image=(Image*)malloc(sizeof(Image));
  image->cols=inpam.width;
  image->rows=inpam.height;
  image->widthStep=image->cols;
  aux=image->cols & 0x3;
  if (aux!=0){
    image->widthStep+=4-aux;
  }
  image->data=(unsigned char *)malloc(image->widthStep*image->rows);

  tuplerow = pnm_allocpamrow(&inpam);

  for (row = 0; row < inpam.height; row++) {
    unsigned int column;
    pnm_readpamrow(&inpam, tuplerow);
    for (column = 0; column < inpam.width; ++column) {
      unsigned int plane;
      for (plane = 0; plane < inpam.depth; ++plane) {
        image->data[image->widthStep*row+column]= tuplerow[column][plane];
          }
        }
      }

  pnm_freepamrow(tuplerow);
  fclose(file);
  return image;

}

After being read, the images are translated into the format ImageF, so that I can process the elements as double, as such:
struct MatrixF{
  int rows;
  int cols;
  double * data;
  int widthStep;
};
typedef struct MatrixF ImageF;

Translation Image to ImageF:
for (int i = 0; i < in_img->rows; ++i){

    for (int j = 0; j < in_img->cols; ++j){

        in_aux->data[i*(in_img->cols)+j] = (double)in_img->data[i*(in_img->cols)+j];
    }
}

For the actual image processing I need to transpose the images, so I have written the following function:
void transpose(ImageF *in_re, ImageF *out_re){

    int rows = in_re->rows;
    int cols = in_re->cols;

    for(int i = 0 ; i < rows ; ++i){

        for(int j = 0 ; j < cols ; ++j){

            out_re->data[j*rows+i] = in_re->data[i*cols+j];
        }
    }

    out_re->rows = in_re->cols;
    out_re->cols = in_re->rows;

    out_re->widthStep = out_re->cols * sizeof(double);
}

After being transposed, the images are translated back from ImageF to Image, in order to store the results (convert double to unsigned char):
    double val;
    for (int i = 0; i < out_aux->rows; i++){

        for (int j = 0; j < out_aux->cols; j++){

            val = out_aux->data[i*out_aux->cols + j];///((in_img->rows)*(in_img->cols ));

            if (val < 0)
                val = 0.0;
            else if (val > 255)
                val = 255.0;
            out_img->data[i * out_aux->cols + j] = (unsigned char)val;
        }
    }

And finally they are stored using the following function:
void savePBM(char * fname, Image * image){
  FILE * file;
  struct pam outpam;
  tuple * tuplerow;
  unsigned int row;

  int aux;

  file=fopen(fname,"w");
  outpam.file=file;
  outpam.size=sizeof(struct pam);
  outpam.len=sizeof(struct pam);
  outpam.format=RPGM_FORMAT;
  outpam.plainformat=0;
  outpam.height=image->rows;
  outpam.width=image->cols;
  outpam.depth=1;
  outpam.maxval=255;
  strcpy(outpam.tuple_type,PAM_PGM_TUPLETYPE);

  pnm_writepaminit( &outpam );

  printf("Writing image\n");

  tuplerow = pnm_allocpamrow(&outpam);

  for (row = 0; row < outpam.height; row++) {
    unsigned int column;
    for (column = 0; column < outpam.width; ++column) {
      unsigned int plane;
      for (plane = 0; plane < outpam.depth; ++plane) {
    tuplerow[column][plane]=image->data[image->widthStep*row+column];
      }
    }
    pnm_writepamrow(&outpam, tuplerow);
  }

  pnm_freepamrow(tuplerow);
  fclose(file);
}

Image memory space allocation I believe was done correctly, after loading the input image with loadPBM, as such:
    out_img = (Image *)malloc( sizeof(Image) );
    out_img->rows = in_img->cols;
    out_img->cols = in_img->rows;
    out_img->widthStep = out_img->cols * sizeof(unsigned char);
    out_img->data = (unsigned char *)malloc( (out_img->rows)*(out_img->cols)*sizeof(unsigned char) );

/*Auxiliary variables*/
in_aux = (ImageF *)malloc(sizeof(ImageF));
    in_aux->rows = in_img->rows;
    in_aux->cols = in_img->cols;
    in_aux->widthStep = in_aux->cols * sizeof(double);
    in_aux->data = (double *)malloc( (in_aux->rows)*(in_aux->cols)*sizeof(double) );

out_aux = (ImageF *)malloc(sizeof(ImageF));
    out_aux->rows = in_img->rows;
    out_aux->cols = in_img->cols;
    out_aux->widthStep = out_aux->cols * sizeof(double);
    out_aux->data = (double *)malloc( (out_aux->rows)*(out_aux->cols)*sizeof(double) );

For some reason, this works fine for square images or even images that are about 450x700 in resolution. But as images become narrower (for example 170x500), this algorithm stops functioning correctly. Images become distorted, and I have no idea why, since it works for other non-square matrices that are just not as narrow. If anyone can see where I went wrong or has some advice or anything, it would be extremely appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

A: After some grinding and discussion with a good friend, we figured out that the padding inserted by the function loadPBM, for memory alignment, this section:
 aux=image->cols & 0x3;
  if (aux!=0){
    image->widthStep+=4-aux;
  }

Was causing the writing of bytes at each matrix element to go overboard to the next element, for images whose width isn't a mulitple of 4, distorting them, due to altering their widthStep. Which explains why the algorithm worked for some non-square matrices, but not all.
For those who saw the post and were also wondering why this was happening, hope this helps! You can just remove this added padding, and it'll work like a charm

Their agenda on the line, progressives descend on Georgia — but with modified messages.
With just weeks until the two Georgia runoff elections that will determine the balance of the Senate, progressive groups are pouring resources into the state — on behalf of two candidates who do not share their most ambitious policy goals.
Though the candidates, Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock, have not endorsed the Green New Deal, the Sunrise Movement, the activist climate group that champions the sweeping climate change plan, is aiming to help register 10,000 to 20,000 Georgians who will turn 18 by Jan. 5, the day of the elections. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has already raised $386,000 for the two Democratic candidates. MoveOn, a progressive group, hopes to mobilize many of its 250,000 members in Georgia, and more nationwide, to canvass and phone bank in the state.
The furious efforts reflect the urgency that is consuming the Democratic Party's left flank. Two victories in Georgia would produce a 50-50 tie in the Senate, giving Democrats control of the chamber because Kamala Harris would cast tiebreaking votes as vice president.
"We are moving heaven and earth and pointing all of our resources as much as we can to help us win those two seats in Georgia," said Jamaal Bowman, a New York Democrat who will join the House in the next term.
Mr. Bowman said he spoke recently with Stacey Abrams, who narrowly lost the Georgia governor's race in 2018 and is widely credited with voter turnout initiatives that helped flip Georgia blue this year, to see how he could support her efforts. And he said that he and other progressives in the House — including those known as the squad, a now-growing group that began with four congresswomen of color — were strategizing about how to help in Georgia.
But progressives also understand that for decades Georgia has been a Republican stronghold with a large number of conservative voters, and that their efforts there need to be modulated. President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the state, many Democrats point out, with a moderate agenda that tempered the rhetoric and policy goals of the left.
Amid deepening ideological fault lines among Democrats over messaging and electoral strategy — divisions that have burst into the open as the party takes stock of its painful losses down the ballot — the two Senate runoff elections will also be a test case for whether progressives can balance their broad calls for change with the realities of campaigning in a once reliably Republican state.
