The Performance Analysis of an UAV Borne Vector Gravimetry System
Cheng-An Lin
Abstract: The integrated system based on Inertial Navigation System and Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (INS/DGNSS) has been proven to perform well in gravity estimation. Moreover, INS/DGNSS airborne gravimetry is a cost-effective system compared to satellite missions or terrestrial gravimeters. Although local gravity field can be surveyed by INS/DGNSS airborne gravimetry over small area in a relatively short time, there are some shortcomings of current commercial airborne system. The cost for renting an aircraft is high and the availability of conducting small area surveys is rather limited. In order to overcome these problems, an alternative presented in this study is based on the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Because high-accuracy Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and centimeter-level positioning are crucial in obtaining mGal-level gravity disturbance estimations, proposed UAV borne system loads a navigation grade IMU iNAV-RQH/RQT and a GNSS receiver by using an unmanned helicopter for positioning, orientation, and gravimetry. Based on the characteristics of vertical take-off and landing, in addition to the gravimetry in kinematic mode as the measure method, the Zero Velocity Update (ZUPT) mode is implemented as a novel method in the acquisition of gravimetry with proposed unmanned helicopter platform. This allows the system for correcting the drifts inherent in the IMU including accelerometers and gyroscopes. On the other hand, compared to the traditional approach for airborne scalar gravimetry, the algorithm for vector gravimetry determination is proposed in this study to estimate the gravity disturbance vector in all three components. The results in kinematic mode show that accuracies at crossover points are approximately 6–11 mGal and 4 mGal for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively with 0.5 kilometers resolution. The repeatability in ZUPT mode is evaluated with accuracies of about 2–3 mGal. Therefore, the capability of proposed UAV borne vector gravimetry system has been demonstrated through various scenarios in this study. Besides the classical DGNSS technique, the applicability of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique for INS/GNSS gravimetry is discussed.

Doubts over Telstra's five-year strategic plan
Sundeep Tucker
Analysts were sceptical on Tuesday that Telstra would be able to deliver the revenue growth and margins outlined by Sol Trujillo, chief executive, as part of the company's "transformational" five-year strategic plan.
Australia's dominant telecoms carrier said it would shed up to a fifth of its workforce and spend A$10bn (US$7.8bn) over five years on new technology to boost revenues and help face mounting competition.
Telstra is to cut its 330 different network platforms and 1,200 different business and operational support systems, which Mr Trujillo said were responsible for a "bad experience for customers".
The company will invest in fibre-optic cables and wireless, broadband and third-generation technology for the majority of its customers, and has struck a number of joint venture deals with companies such as Sony and Hutchison to "improve the customer experience".
Telstra also surprised the markets with its second profits warning within two months. In September, it said earnings could fall by 10 per cent because of regulatory proposals. The shares fell 5 per cent.
On Tuesday, Mr Trujillo predicted a fall in earnings in the year to June 2006 of 19-24 per cent, due to asset decommissioning costs associated with the revamped strategy.
The decline would be 25-30 per cent "if Telstra raised a provision for redundancy". Worryingly for investors, even those numbers are based on a "reasonable regulatory outcome".
However, Telstra predicted that underlying revenues would rise by 2-2.5 per cent every year until 2010. It will also interview more than 100,000 customers to find out what their needs are.
Telstra is pinning its hopes on customers spending more on services once service and technology is improved. It is hoping to maintain its margins, which are among the highest in the developed world.
Domestic long-distance fixed-line calls deliver an 88 per cent profit margin, more than double the 42 per cent margin on mobile calls.
Analysts believe Telstra is being optimistic in believing margins will remain resilient.
Andrew Hines of Morgan Stanley congratulated Telstra on its vision but said he was "sceptical about the financials". Tim Smeallie of Citigroup questioned the investments planned given the regulatory uncertainty.
Telstra is embroiled in a public slanging match with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and is waiting to find out what regulations it will face when it operates as a fully privatised company late next year.
Telstra claims that current ACCC proposals would cost it up to A$850m a year in lost revenues because they would force sharp cuts in access fees charged to rivals using Telstra's traditional copper lines.
ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel has accused the company of "confusing, if not misleading the public" and has signalled his preference for rules that promote fierce competition.
Mr Trujillo warned: "If excessive regulation doesn't get in the way, we can hit the plan we have laid out today. If it does, it has the potential to be harmful to our core."
Mr Trujillo assured analysts that Telstra would focus on organic growth. "I have told the board that M&A is not at the forefront of our agenda. We need to concentrate on our core competencies, which can then be exported. M&A activity means paying premiums and worrying about achieving returns."
● Alcatel, the French telecoms equipment supplier, on Tuesday saw its shares rise 4.5 per cent after it was chosen to carry out an estimated €2.18bn ($2.5bn) upgrade of Telstra's network. It described the agreement, currently just a memorandum of understanding, as the biggest in its history, beating a $1.7bn project agreed with SBC in 2004. It will also maintain the new system.

It's funny how as soon as you have children, the less you dream of beautiful living rooms and instead dream of luxury laundry rooms! Don't get me wrong, I still dream of beautiful living and dinning rooms, but the ONE room I wish I could remodel would be my laundry room!
Take a tour of my laundry room and see what I did to turn my tiny space from a place I used to dread to enter, into a place I enjoy.
Come look around and let me know what room you dream about fixing up! Maybe you will have some suggestions for my laundry room. I did this make-over nearly 6 years ago and it's probably due for something new!
When my husband and I got married, I was young and just plain happy to have a house! Since I didn't have kids, the laundry room was the LAST room I thought about. Basically it was not a thought.
In the beginning, our laundry room was small with white walls and a little cabinet above the washer and dryer. After having kids and realizing I was spending most of my waking moment in this closet of a room, I decided I need to fix it up. If being a mom meant spending hours doing laundry, I was going to make it nice!
The first thing I did was to paint the walls a pretty beige and hang photos on the walls.
This small cabinet was the only storage space in the room. So about a year later after things started piling up all over the floor to where you absolutely could not walk into the room, I found a guy to build me some more shelves.
The left wall used to be a blank wall. Boxes used to pile up in the corner and clothes all over the floor!
The best money I ever spent was to have more shelves installed and added a counter so I could have a place to do my most dreaded chore of folding the laundry.
On a whim, I added fabric with a staple gun around the counter so I could hide junk.
This hiding spot comes in super handy when I throw a party! I can just toss things under there that I want out of sight. I have often been told that I am the master of hiding junk and making it seem like I have a clean home! Frankly, it is an art and I take that as a compliment. ha!
Now the cabinets hold the family games, sunscreen and bug spray. I have buckets of play dough and beach bags ready to go to the pool hidden under the counter along with some more junk! I have done my best to organize this small room.
Hidden behind the door is this handy dandy wall organizer that my mom got me. It's perfect for hanging brooms and mops off of the floor. Family photos always make a room more inviting!
So I think for such a small drab space, it is a lot more likable now, but I still dream of a laundry room with a seating area and tons of counter space. Now I'd LOVE to remodel my bathroom and kitchen… we'll see… maybe someday!
What room do you dream of remodeling?
i have laundry room envy! ours is in our dark basement with gross walls & low ceilings. if you can visualize me carrying a load of laundry bent half over to our washer/dryer – that would be me. ugh!
You could just change the fabric along your counter and change the whole look. I painted my laundry area an intense yellow and it makes me smile whenever I'm there. Really energizes and brightens my space.
One thing I've always wanted to have is the net that you can hang behind your dryer to catch all the socks and things you accidentally drop down there. Does anybody know where to get those?
Is that Gob Bluth on that iPad? Come on!
The room looks terrific. I would be in heaven doing laundry here.


text: Q: Rearranging set relationships One often encounters statements like $\mathbb{R}^2\cong\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{T}^2\cong\mathbb{S}^1\times\mathbb{S}^1$. On the other hand, particularly in algebra, one can find relationships like $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}\cong \mathbb{S}^1$. I noticed that these notations suggest multiplication and division and I am wondering if they can be rearranged. For instance, is it valid to "multiply" both sides of $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}\cong \mathbb{S}^1$ by $\mathbb{Z}$ to obtain $\mathbb{R}\cong \mathbb{S}^1\times \mathbb{Z}$?

News President's Message January 17, 2022
As the newly elected president of the Back Bay Wildfowl Guild and Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum, I am looking forward to working with all of you to continue the good work that has already been completed.
First, I want to thank Jason Seward for guiding us through the pandemic years. We should all be thankful for his tireless efforts. Also, Lynn Hightower, our Director, continues to effectively maintain our day-to-day operations.
My visions for the future are to increase membership and to create a more robust museum that draws increased attendance and revenue.
Actions are already underway to make this happen. The foundation is poured for a new gazebo and construction will begin shortly. This will become the centerpiece for hosting outdoor events. Our events coordinator has established a framework for attracting events and we will continue to build on that good work. The Surfrider Foundation recently provided a $5000 donation which we are all most thankful to receive. Partnerships like this are wonderful and we will continue to pursue more.
I do hope we can have all of our members visit the museum and become more active in what we are doing, and I hope that all of you will help to increase our membership.
Thank you for your support and I look forward to working with and serving you.

Would you love to implement MIP Fund Accounting for your agency but you are concerned with getting a buy-in from executive leadership, your IT department and the board? These tips from The Center for Association Leadership can help you pitch and sell your nonprofit tech budget with minimal pain.
MIP Fund Accounting tends to be easier to advocate for than other types of software due to its' efficiency and productivity. Of course, you'll have to explain the needs to your board and others for funding, but let Abila and Welter Consulting help make the case to purchase MIP fund accounting by taking these two easy steps.
The better you can build a case linking your technology purchase to member needs, the more likely you are to get the green light and the budget. The directors and supervisors at your organization are tasked with keeping members' needs in mind at all times. That includes clients and constituents, or the people you serve. When you build a case linking technology budgets to solving problems for members and constituents, the directors will be more likely to approve it.
MIP Fund Accounting provides your organization with greater transparency and better accuracy when tracking expenses. Detailed reporting on every aspect of your organization's finances will fulfill your members' needs for accurate, timely information on how their funds are being managed and used to fulfill the organization's mission.
From the start of your tech budget request, communicate the specific metrics by which you will measure success. Specific metrics provide an objective benchmark by which to assess how well the new purchase has helped you achieve your goals. Whether it's reducing costs by 5 percent or maximizing investments, you can show how your MIP fund accounting purchase will help achieve specific goals.
Presenting your case for new technology purchases to members, the board of directors, or C-level executives can be challenging. Each stakeholder has different information needs; everyone looks at the ideas and information through the lens of their own self-interest. Executives want to be sure the purchase will help the organization grow. The board may wish to limit costs. Fellow members and coworkers may simply want to know what this new technology purchase will do for them.
To present your case, gather all your background data and facts and distill them into the simplest ideas possible. Don't overwhelm your ideas with tons of facts, but present the most important items first, then build a supporting case. People's attention spans are short, and you've only got seconds to get them on board.
Practicing your pitch beforehand often helps. If you're on a team evaluating the purchase together, then ask team members to listen to your pitch and offer suggestions. The right MIP fund accounting software can make accounting tasks easier. It can also make your organization's funds transparent and easy to understand for all. By approaching the request for funds in a logical fashion and using these steps, you stand a better chance of successfully acquiring the budget for your purchase.
Abila MIP Fund Accounting from Welter Consulting Welter Consulting offers Abila MIP Fund Accounting software to help nonprofits manage their accounting needs. Abila MIP Fund Accounting enables you to report and track the most important information for your board, your supervisors, and others eager to see how your nonprofit's resources are being used.

Internal controls are important for both nonprofit and for profit organizations. Simple, yet effective internal controls prevent losses, theft, and mistakes. While it may seem as if you are being overly cautious, even the most honest employees can be prone to temptation when lax security and internal controls are the norm.
Some nonprofits may need internal controls at charity shops, boutiques, or retail outlets that sell members goods, books and so on. Others may need internal controls only when hosting charity events or fundraisers. Evaluate your nonprofit's needs and list the situations calling for internal controls. Then consider these situations and suggestions for internal controls.
* Cash deposits: Nonprofits that run thrift shops and charitable stores to raise funds for their operations should treat cash deposits the same way that a retail store would treat them. Keep cash registers locked. Always have an employee near the register to guard against theft. Set a limit on how much cash is stored in the drawer. Have a strict policy in place for how register drawers are counted out and stored at the end of the day or end of shift. A manager or other senior staff member should be the one to take deposits to the bank, and two people should be present at all times when cash drawers are counted.
* Check storage: Checks received as donations, payment of membership dues and the like should also be treated like cash and stored with good security. It is not uncommon for checks to be lost or stolen at places with lax internal controls. Establish protocols for recording checks immediately upon receipt. Place them in a safe and limit access to the safe to managers or only the few people in the accounting department who need them. Designate bank drop days and times to deposit checks in a timely fashion.
* Petty cash: Petty cash should always be kept in a safe or a locked drawer. Implement a policy in which at least two employees must be present at all times to count out the petty cash. Record petty cash amounts in a receipt book. Sign cash in and out, and do not make exceptions to this policy.
* Events: Fundraising events, raffles and carnivals tend to generate cash and small bills which are easy to overlook. Volunteers should store cash at the event in a lock box until it's time to finish the event. Train volunteers and workers to never leave cash unattended at the booth or table. Instruct them to place all cash into the secure box or official cash register, never in their pockets or purses. Reconcile ticket sales with cash that night before everyone goes home to make sure no one has made mistakes.
* Payroll: Fraud occurs in payroll as well as with cash receipts. Employees may tag a little extra time here or there to their payroll accounts so that it adds up to overtime. To prevent payroll padding, ask managers to pre-approve overtime and sign off on time cards.
The old adage to trust, but verify, is very important for nonprofit internal controls. Although it may feel as if you do not trust your employees or volunteers, often having internal controls in place is enough of a deterrent to prevent problems. Employees typically appreciate having internal controls in place since it prevents problems and inaccuracies that can reflect poorly on them as well. Internal controls are necessary at nonprofit organizations.

CPAs now have two new ways in which they can obtain Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. The AICPA and the National Association of State Board of Accountancy recently changed the standards for CPE providers as well as NASBA's Field of Study document. These new opportunities to earn continuing education credits seek to open more opportunities for CPAs to earn valuable continuing education credits so that they can better serve the organizations they work with.
The two new methods now accepted are blended learning and nano learning.
* Blended learning includes a combination of learning methods such as seat-based (classroom) sessions, self-study, and video lessons on demand.
* Nano learning consists of short 10-minute modules, usually focused on a specific task. This type of learning is often used to help CPAs acquire specific skills rather than master overarching concepts.
Not all states accept these methods, so you must check with your local branch of the AICPA and the NASBA to find out if your state accepts nano and blended learning.
Additional changes are also being made to the Fields of Study document. These changes update categories and descriptions so that they are both current and relevant. The biggest change occurs in the Specialized Knowledge field of study, which now separates computer science application and information technology into its own categories. Specialized knowledge topics can now be specific to industries or categories.
Nonprofit financial managers need excellent quantitative as well as qualitative skills to best serve their constituents. These skills including exceptional accounting and financial management, as well as good communication skills.
* Presentation and public speaking skills: Nonprofit CPAs may be called upon to address board meetings, and conferences. These are valuable opportunities to educate the public as well as members and donors.
* Interpersonal communications: Communications inside your office as well as throughout your organization are essential to good management. Persuasion and articulation of thoughts, ideas and concepts is essential for department leadership.
* Social media skills: Social media may seem like an esoteric area for accountants, but even accountants and financial leaders use tools such as texting to reach colleagues with quick messages. Learning the proper methods of communicating via social media is now an essential skill for CPAs.
* Data visualization: Data visualization helps non-accountants understand the nuances of the materials you are presenting. Understanding how to share information via charts, graphs and other methods can help both colleagues and the public understand the nonprofit's financials easily.
Online learning and the new blended and nano learning methods may provide you with opportunities to build these skills and more. Professional development is essential for CPAs.
Welter Consulting helps nonprofit organizations bridge the gap between people and technology. Software support, implementation and training, as well as audit support, are our main areas of service. If you would like assistance with your nonprofit accounting needs, please call us at 206-605-3113.
FASB announced changes to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-14, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities. This landmark set of guidelines is the first update since 1993 and will change how many nonprofits report their numbers.
* Requires reporting of expenses by function and nature, as well as an analysis of expenses by both function and nature.
The new standards take effect for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2017 and for interim fiscal years after December 15, 2018.
The impetus behind the changes is twofold. First, FASB sought to update the rules after a long period of consistency. The last update occurred in 1993, and an update was thought long overdue. With the changing nature of nonprofit organizations, donations, and information access by the public, new guidelines were thought necessary for enhanced clarity and confidence in the financial management of nonprofit finances.
The rules also seek to simplify financial reporting for nonprofits. FASB has no wish to complicate reporting for anyone, and the new guidelines, once understood and implemented, will likely make financial reporting easier for nonprofits.
How the changes may or may not impact your organization depends greatly on how your accounts are currently kept. For those who need to adjust their accounting methods, now is the time to begin planning to meet the compliance deadline of December 2017.
Reducing net asset classifications should not be too difficult for most nonprofits. Many already used two net asset classifications, and the former classifications can be rolled into three without too much difficult by most.
If you need assistance making these changes, Welter Consulting can help. We bridge people and technology together for effective solutions for nonprofit organizations. Your accounting software is an important component of the changeover from the older 1993 regulations to the new rollout. We can help you with the change and more.

Adrian Mikhalchishin: How to study Classics
Fritztrainer Opening
Adrian Mikhalchishin
Chess education is based on examples of great players of the past. Most of the typical methods of attack, analogical plans, and correct ways of conducting different ends happened first time in their games.
On the basis of these games numerous books were written about endgame subjects and endgame technique. Even about openings the great Alexander Alekhine said that it is simply the practice of the masters! Naturally every developing player has to study these examples, as he will face similar positions and problems in his practice. The more a player knows of these positions, the more frequently he will be able to apply the necessary ideas in the correct way.
Of course, there are many basic positions in endgames and exact variations in the openings, which have to be remembered by heart. But the greatest part of the endgame and middlegame play consists of knowledge of typical plans and typical tactical motifs, which can be used for different purposes. To help to attack the opponent's king or simply to help conducting plans faster and more effectively.
Every young player has to study them and it is possible just from the games of the great players. Vladimir Kramnik once told, that at the moment when he decided to fight for the World Championship, he spent one year just analysing all the matches of the WC.
In general, we have to study classics in two ways:
1) As we explained, in the books on endgame and middlegame. Different important subjects are studied from the selected games of the greats.
2) Every top player had his or her own speciality. Like Rubinstein was the greatest master of the 'exchange technique', Botvinnik was master of 'centralization' and Alekhine was the greatest player in developing opening initiative. Each of them had extraordinarily instructive examples about their own favorite methods.
Another problem exists - in the chess world we don't have many good books on the middlegame and for this reason young players have problems about how to study classics. Different tactical methods exist and for these subjects we have plenty of good literature. We will present a few examples on how the same tactical methods were developed by the top players and how more complicated it became by the years. The same situation is with development of typical plans in classical structures.

Severe High Speed Collision Lands 3 in the Hospital
Monday May 31st, 2010
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2rqbqgwgSg[/youtube]
A high speed collision occurred Monday evening just before 8pm when a green Ford Mustang traveling northbound on Ojibway Parkway spun out of control and into the path of an oncoming silver Chrysler Intrepid. The Intrepid t-boned the Mustang, which then spun out into a ditch. The crash occurred directly in front of the Windsor Raceway.
There were three occupants involved in the collision. One patient had to be extricated by Windsor Fire & Rescue. One patient was rushed to hospital and the ambulance was given a police escort due to the severity of injuries.
The driver of the Mustang, a male, 18 years of age, may not have been wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash, according to emergency workers at the scene. That patient was rushed to hospital and is currently in critical condition.
The driver of the Intrepid, a 52-year-old man, suffered only minor injuries.
Windsor Police shut down every intersection and roadway in the vicinity as they conducted a thorough investigation and collision reconstruction.
It appears that rain played a factor in the collision since it was drizzling at the time of the crash and had been raining earlier on in the day. Ojibway Parkway has a posted speed limit of 80km/h where the collision occurred.
Police are seeking people who witnessed the crash for additional information. Anyone who saw the crash is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 519-258-TIPS.

This is Circulating Ideas. I'm Steve Thomas. My guest today is Jessica Olin. She's the director of the Robert H. Parker Library at Wesley College. You can find her at her blog at letterstoayounglibrarian.blogspot.com, or on Twitter at @olinj.
Jessica, welcome to the show.
I was thinking about it, and with your blog, Letters to a Young Librarian, I kind of feel like you and I are doing similar things — with my podcast and your blog, we're trying to educate the profession. And you're aiming more at the beginners of the profession, those in school and new to the profession, but can you tell the listeners a little bit about what the blog is and the origins of it — why you decided to start that up?
I was thinking about this the other day. It seems that every major decision in my career has been made because something made me angry [laughs]. And it's as good a reason as any, but the genesis of the blog was, I was supervising a student in his culminating experience in graduate school. We were his internship-ish thing. And he was telling me about a class he was taking, and he was talking about learning DIALOG.
This was in 2010? 2011.
So, right, like, a few months before I started the blog, and I went off. I said, "That was out of date when I was learning it ten years ago." Blah blah blah blah. And then, shortly thereafter, I was complaining to a senior colleague at that institution, and he told me about how some of the most prestigious library graduate programs were still teaching library penmanship in the '50s and '60s.
Well after we were doing things with computers and typewriters and all that. And it just struck me how our curriculum and our graduate programs are tragically always running 10, 15, 20 years behind what working professional librarians do.
Yeah, it's like the kids say on the internet, I just can't even.
So, I was lucky in that I had someone to hold my hand as I made that transition. And not everyone's lucky. So, that's where the blog started.
And so, when you're making these decisions of things that make you angry, it's more, I think — it sounds like it's coming from frustration on how the thing is and your wanting to make it right.
Exactly. Not that I didn't like the directors I've worked for in the past. I've worked for some fantastic people. But there was a moment of, "Oh, come on. I could do a better job than that" [laughs].
Just don't tell me if it is. No. So, I do want to go into your journey to being a director, in a minute, but to go back to the blog for a minute, what was your decision to — from the beginning, did you always want to open it up to others to write for it as well, or did you plan to write it all yourself at the beginning? Or was it all sort of just coming together really quickly and you didn't think it through [laughs]?
Kind of a mish-mash of all three of those. Even though I had eight or nine years' experience by the time I was getting ready to start the blog, I worked with a bunch of people who had 20, 30 years' experience in the field. So, even though the 11 years I've been a librarian now might seem impressive to people who are just coming up from graduate school, I still felt like a kid. It felt like I didn't know everything. I still feel like I don't know everything. So, fairly early on, I knew that my voice alone wouldn't be enough, and I was friends with — I tend to gravitate more to public-library people, because I feel that, having worked at small, liberal-arts colleges, my job has a lot more in common with public libraries than it does with someone who, say, works at Harvard. Harvard's wonderful. I'm sure. I know people who've worked there and they like it. But it's an awareness of my day-to-day job, and so, starting to ask public-library people to balance my academic library voice, and I knew a medical librarian, and I knew a legal librarian. So, it wasn't an immediate decision from the beginning, but fairly early on, I knew and wanted to have multiple voices involved, because as much as I do feel like I know what I'm talking about a lot of the times, I'm not the only person, and I'm not the only perspective. But it wasn't a conscious decision at the beginning, and it wasn't a, "Oh, this will just work." It was kind of a natural progression, and I'm not sure exactly how to explain it beyond that.
Yeah, yeah. And so, I don't think we went over the actual [laughs] conceit of the blog itself. So, basically, it's people passing on knowledge to younger librarians, people coming up through library school and new to the profession.
Sometimes it's not just that. I've had someone write a perspective of, "Hey, I'm a brand new branch director. And for people who are thinking about taking that step, here's some advice." It's also — I think for a lot of people, it's the advice they wish they had gotten.
Does it help you when you're writing it out? Is it helping you in your own journey?
Oh. My. Dear. Sweet. Lord. Yes [laughs].
That, that was the — the conversations I had with that graduate student who was complaining about dialog, we had conversations about everything from how I decided what to wear to work, to which books I wanted to read, to more lofty discussions like my pedagogical philosophy. And having to explain it to him really solidified it for me. You've written for a Letters to a Young Librarian.
It's a moment of being clear with yourself in order to be clear with someone else, and very little has helped me in my professional philosophy more than having to write about it every week.
Yeah, yeah. It's more when you have to explain it to somebody else. Yeah, you do have to — you might think it's clear in your mind until you — yeah, you actually have to write it down.
So, I wanna get into how the blog fosters mentoring kind of things and how that can work. But before we get to that, a lot of it is — it's aimed at newer people in the profession, new things like that, in general. But obviously, anybody else can learn from it, 'cuz, I mean, I read it regularly too, and learn things. But library school curriculum [laughs], as we've talked about, dialog is an issue [laughs]. What do you think — from what you hear about — obviously, it's been a while, I think, since both of us have been in library school — I graduated in 2004, I think? What do you think needs to be changed? What's feeding this anger now [laughs], and that side of it for you — what are these people not learning in school that they need to be learning?
I'm actually planning to write a post about this. Everybody needs pedagogy. I don't care what kind of library you're gonna work in; everybody needs to know about how people learn. We are a service industry, whether it's at a law firm or investment firm or K-12. We are all involved with people learning, and teaching themselves. And understanding how that works, and the difference between how children work and teenagers work and adults work — that's the thing. I went and got a master's in education, because I didn't think I got enough of it in library school. And I was fortunate in that I had a bibliographic instruction class available to me. I went to Simmons, yay Simmons. But pedagogy is one of the things that's missing. I don't think everybody needs to be able to code, but I think everybody needs to be able to understand code.
So, being able to speak tech, as opposed to do tech — that's something else that — I recommend Simmons to anyone who wants to hear, because that's another thing, another opportunity that Simmons afforded me, was a class about library technology, and about how to teach yourself about library technology. Those are the main pieces that I see lacking in a lot of programs. There are other things that I think are good or great. I think everyone should have a full-blow cataloguing class, even if you never become a cataloguer.
I've heard of things like cataloguing-light. And I understand how our automated system works much better, because I know how to do the back end. I understand the interplay of why things are put in certain parts of the Dewey system or the Library of Congress system, because I had to study it. And even if we move away from those specific systems, understanding how we organize our information in libraries — it's doing future librarians a disservice not to make them learn that stuff. And this isn't a "Ha ha, I had to go through it, you do too" kind of hazing, because cataloguing was my hardest class.
My favorite professor, but my hardest class. But it underpins how I teach people to use the library, and how I interact with the community in general, so I think it's a definite need.
To continue teaching that is sort of a, "Well, we learned it, so you have to learn it." I can't believe they're still — hopefully they're still not teaching it there, but.
That was less than five years ago.
So, to get back to the idea of mentoring — which I think is part of what your blog is — it's helping a mentoring relationship, especially for people who maybe don't have a direct mentor to work with. It's sort of that relationship, that you're learning from other librarians, even if you don't have a specific person you get to deal with. Have you had specific mentors in the past that you've learned from?
Oh, I have been very fortunate. So, early on, that first library director I worked for — she was only there for about six months, but she really shaped who I am as a librarian, and the relationship I had with her — although not strictly called "mentoring," really was a mentoring relationship. I was also very fortunate there to have some quote-unquote para-professionals who kind of took me in hand and said, "Yes, we know. You learned all that fancy stuff in library school. Let me show you how to do it in the real world." People without the master's degree — bar none, the best cataloguer I've ever known is someone who doesn't have the degree. And he taught me so much. More recently, the gentleman I worked for at my last job, at Hiram College, he — I haven't worked there in almost two years and he still reaches out to me occasionally to see how I'm doing. Any questions. And he is always available when I have the panicked, "Oh my God, I need to cut this much money from the budget, and can you tell me how to make those kinds of decisions?" I had that conversation with him about a year ago, and he patiently and kindly said, "OK, here's what you do." I've also — because of the college library director's mentor program — fantastic program — I would have an official mentor who was assigned to me through that program, and she [laughs] — she still, even though we are technically done with that formal relationship, she still is reaching out to me and making herself available to me.
I find her invaluable. She helps me keep things in perspective, so. Yes. I know I'm lucky, but I've had a few mentors along my path, and I know other people aren't as lucky, so, I value these people in my life. I am so grateful for these people.
And do you, then, now, feel like you have a responsibility — especially now that you're a director — that you start mentoring people? Or are you now? Do you feel like you are now, or do you feel like you want to have that relationship with someone?
— for them. Yeah. I'm not sure how to answer that question [laughs].
Well, and I think through the blog, you are doing that with people. I mean, in an informal way, but you are passing on knowledge to people about the profession.
My big caveat, when someone asks me for advice, is — I'll try to clean this up for an audience — I'll try to say it PG — is that I have made a lot of mistakes in my career. I have learned from them. I'd like to think that I make smart mistakes, and that I don't make the same mistakes again. I'm not afraid to make mistakes, either. And I own my mistakes. But it intimidates me when people see who I am now and think that they have to be that together.
I read somewhere recently that there's really no such thing as a grownup. And I think we are all always evolving, and we are all always learning. And I still need mentors, and I'm getting better at calling myself a mentor to other people, but the thing I want to make sure people realize when they come to me for advice, when they look at my blog, is that some of this wisdom has been very hard-won.
And it's two steps forward, half-step back. Two steps forward, one and a half steps back.
So, yes? I mentor people, but I think I'm still skittish about it.
Yeah. It's part of the role. And I think you knew that going into it, that that's just part of the role, and so you have to step into it, and — I think, realistically, almost everybody is uncomfortable with that idea. Maybe there are people who are comfortable with it, but [laughs] I don't know anybody that's comfortable with it.
— has kind of put it in context for me. It's, maybe, squashed my "but I'm such a mess-up" mentality, and own the fact that I do, a lot of the times, know what I'm talking about. I feel the same way with Chris Bourg, too.
The two of them — I look at them and think, "Wow." And then, to have it right in my face that some people look at me and have that reaction, yeah.
[laughs] So, mentoring, I think, is one of the big qualities of a good leader. Are there other things that you've tried to embrace as you've transitioned into a leadership role? Qualities of leadership?
Trust. Being able to trust your people is huge.
It's an important thing for leaders, and I know I did a little bit of micromanaging as I was learning, as I was finding my legs, my management legs — but that's one of the biggest steps I think I've taken from being a frontline librarian. And I still do a lot of frontline librarian work — about 60 percent of my job, 70 percent of my job is still frontline stuff, because this is a small library. But learning to trust my staff and learning to let go of a few of the details here and there, and more details on things where it really doesn't matter, that's — yeah. Not just mentoring but trusting the process.
Right, I mean, 'cuz when you're leading, you have to trust that the people below you are going to — 'cuz you can't do everything yourself, so you have to trust the process of the people under you are going to get the things done that they need to get done.
And it's not a blind trust.
It's checking after them and making sure things go the way they're supposed to, and keeping tabs. I was introduced to a philosophy called strengths-based leadership, and I think it is one of the smartest ideas I've ever encountered as a librarian, of working to people's strengths. We can't all be all things to all people, and so, I'm really good at big-picture stuff, surprise, surprise. The professional librarian — I have a frozen position, but the professional librarian who works for me, she's really good at taking my, "Here, this is where we should go, and here's a couple ways we should go to it." And she's really good at saying, "OK. Here are the discrete steps that we need to take along that path." She is really good with details, and the nitty-gritty details. I'm really good with the big picture. So, developing that kind of relationship. But there are other people on my staff who want more direction.
One of the things that you have done at your library that a lot of academic libraries don't do is, you've brought in a lot of popular materials. Can you talk about the decision to do that, and why you want to do that?
Well, my first job — my first job shaped so much about my professional career. I worked at Landmark College, which is now a four-year school, but at the time, was a two-year school. Fully accredited, all of that, for people with learning disabilities and ADHD and other learning difficulties. Traumatic brain injury, et cetera. And getting students in the library when the library represents everything they can't do is a challenge [laughs].
And so, the idea of looking to see what worked at other places, like, you'd see what works for other libraries — and a lot of research led me to the idea of adult basic education materials, high-interest for adults but low reading level. It also let me to graphic novels, which — it takes a different part of your brain. You look at pictures with a different part of your brain than you look at words. So, getting involved with that kind of material and that kind of collection — while at the same time learning about the theory called universal design for instruction — some people call it the universal design for learning — and the idea of, "If I do something that's gonna help someone with dyslexia or someone with ADHD, it's actually gonna benefit other people as well, because good pedagogy for them is good pedagogy for everyone." It taught me the value of not discounting those kinds of materials. And then, my next library job, we had a lot of popular-culture scholars. So, I was able to find footing for the kinds of materials I knew worked within a different setting for a different reason. It's interesting to postulate who's going to be the Jane Austen of our era. Jane Austen was popular appeal and her romances were seen as throwaway, and yet they're seen now as great literature.
And so, working with people in the English department. I had a Cormac McCarthy scholar, and he's got a lot of popular appeal, so bringing the idea of good pedagogy into an atmosphere that already respected the role of popular literature as an academic pursuit — there were people who were teaching graphic novels, there was a disciplinary class where they were teaching — an art professor and an English professor were teaching about graphic novels. So, I had fertile soil for it there. And the two experiences combined, so when I came on board here, it was just an automatic, "Yeah, we're going to have popular reading materials." We are actually currently working on a circulating board-game collection — just waiting to get a little bit of information back from the Delaware Library Consortium. Our catalogue is tied to theirs.
— over the summer, from high school to college. It works, and there's a lot of research to support what I do, but my decision was based on trying to get people into the library.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. "Hey, I'm the director. Wait a minute" [laughs].
And I think that really leads into the next thing I wanted to ask you about anyway: that that helps to build the sense of community in your community, that the library is an essential part of that. So, on a college campus, it's the student body; in the public library, it's the surrounding community. Do you see that as a big part of what the library should be to its community?
[laughs] All right. Next question [laughs].
That's great. And so, are you already feeling that at your current position, feeling that sense of community growing?
The SGA is gonna pay for coffee and tea that we're gonna have in the library for finals. [laughs] I had someone come to me who was writing a grant, and asked me, "What can I put for the library in this grant?" He didn't get it, but he asked. I've had people — it's starting to come back. It took a year and a half, but it's starting to come back to me — of people realizing that there's someone new in the captain's chair, and this is a different starship now.
And you like animated GIFS, jifs, ghifs, jifs. See, I'm all confused by the "ghif"/"jif" thing now, 'cuz now I know — I can't remember what the right one is anymore.
But you do say "jinjer," so.
The trouble is, is that it is both ways in different words, so, I don't know. I think it's "ghif," is what I think it is.
But the whole conversation confused me.
[laughs] Anyway. So, you do like animated GIFs, too.
[laughs] When you choose — this is obviously a tangent to what we were talking about before, but when you choose the images and things for your posts, do you choose those yourselves — or the people who submit, do you have them give ideas? I think I gave some ideas when I did mine, but I don't remember. I don't know what you do generally.
I ask for them, and generally, I offer some options. Most people think, "Oh, yeah, that's great." Every once in a while — so, I have a post coming up that — I found something that was probably a little bit more traditional for the topic, and the guest author came back with a funnier one that was a picture she had taken herself. It works both ways. I know I've said this to you, and I say this to everyone: even if Letters to a Young Librarian is kind of a thing now, I still conceive of it as my little rebel yell, my shouting into the darkness.
Shaking my fist at the powers that be. And so, any time someone says, "Yes, I'll write for you," or offers to write for me before I even ask them, it's a huge favor that people are doing for me. So, I try to make the process as smooth as possible. It's "How can I help you?" Again.
And then, sometimes, people say they're going to write for you and they take a really long time, but we won't talk about those people [laughs].
And I understand that. Anybody who starts feeling guilty about that, trust me. There was someone who asked me to write a guest post for his blog last year, and he stopped asking me, and I still mean to write it — it's just, it's a big jump from — not just from one type of job to another, but from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic. It's took a lot more out of me and a lot more of my mental energy — and so, I respect that people have other priorities. So, I just — I'm OK.
How do you generally, I guess — we'll just go back to talking about the podcast — talking about your blog [laughs]. So, how do you get — we didn't talk about this — how do you get people to write? Do you ask them? Do they come to you? Is it a little bit of both?
Sometimes , I'll put out a call: "Hey, who would you like to see write a post for my blog?" That's how I got Erin Leach to write. A couple of people said they wanted to hear from her. I sometimes will approach people individually, because I see they're writing about something cool, or doing something cool, or I get to know them and think that we are somewhat like-minded. I occasionally put out a call on Facebook groups or on Twitter: "Hey, I'm looking for authors. Do you have something you want to say?" I have, knock on wood, and all the other gestures of luck, I have a little bit of a backlog of posts right now. It gets very stressful when I'm staring down the barrel of a Thursday without a guest post to publish. But it hasn't happened in a while, probably a few months. So, yay [laughs].
Well, let's wrap up with a very important topic to you, I know, and that is the Oxford comma.
I understand you support the Oxford comma.
It increases clarity. It doesn't add confusion. It hardly ever adds confusion when you use it. But it always ends up confusing me when people don't use it. It's one little comma, and I don't care what AP talks about. There's the joke, the "Let's invite the strippers, Hitler and Stalin," and then there's a picture of Stalin and Hitler with their little tassels on, and their stripper outfit.
Eats, shoots, and leaves. Exactly. The panda with his Derringer. And I understand that one.
It's very rare that an Oxford comma adds to confusion, in my experience.
I know that's important to your — close to your heart, so.
I wanted to make sure to talk about the important topics in your life. So, if people wanted to get in touch with you to write for your blog, how would they get in touch with you?
It's librarianjessica — all one word, exactly how you would expect it to be spelled — at gmail dot com. I can't say that I'm the best at responding right away, but I do respond.
And that's for anybody who wants to submit or give you feedback or anything like that.
Exactly, or if someone really wants a post from X librarian, and they want to suggest that, or if there's a topic. I get requests for topics more than anything else, actually.
And what is the URL for the blog?
letterstoayounglibrarian — that is all squished together as one word — dot blogspot dot com.
And people can follow you on Twitter as well?
All right. Jessica, thank you so much for being on the show today, and I hope people go and visit the blog, read the blog, subscribe to the blog, and also want to write for it.
All right. Thanks a lot, Jessica.
Don't make me shush you, please. Don't make me shush.
I have no problem shushing.
I don't know what the "Stop Dancing" version of "shush" is.
It's usually The Look. You know?

There has been a negative shift in sentiment in the way that members of the UK healthcare sector perceive Brexit, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
The company's latest report: 'Brexit and the Healthcare Industry' found that in July 2018, 37% of those from the UK healthcare industry believed that the UK would be an attractive destination for healthcare companies to conduct research and manufacturing post-Brexit, down from 53% in April 2018.
GlobalData's report is based on a survey of participants from the pharmaceutical industry, both within and outside the UK, who were asked about the impact of Brexit on the healthcare sector as well as their evolving sentiment towards Brexit. The report focuses on the answers provided by those from the US, UK, and EU, with the key objectives being to determine the most substantial impact of Brexit on research and manufacturing, corporate strategy, and relocation as well as to track the evolving sentiment of Brexit's impact on the healthcare industry.
Moore continues: "During the survey, the greatest shift in Brexit sentiment was observed in participants from the UK, of which 58% said that they had a more negative outlook on the impact of Brexit on the healthcare sector since the first quarter of 2018. Participants from the US were the least likely to have changed their sentiment, with 65% saying it had remained the same over the same time period.

Farming Simulator 22 key is meant to be activated on the Steam platform.
Farming Simulator 22 is an upcoming simulation/management game developed by Giants Software. In FS22, the player will have a chance to take on the mantle of a modern farmer, growing crops, breeding animals, and managing a successful farming operation. The game features over 400 types of farming equipment that the player can invest in, including the most popular brands. A new feature in the game are dynamic season changes, which will require the player to adjust their strategy to match the changing weather. Farming simulator 22 was met with a positive initial reception.
Enjoy the pleasures of watching things grow
The main gameplay feature of the Farming Simulator series is, of course, farming. FS22 is no different, offering the player different forms of that lucrative branch of the economy. The player might choose to grow crops, breed animals, or try their hand at forestry - Farming Simulator 22 opens the vast world of agriculture to the player, letting them enjoy the pleasure of seeing their efforts pay off in golden fields, young forests, or plenty of livestock.
Invest in high-class equipment
The key to running a successful farming enterprise is choosing the right equipment. In Farming Simulator 22, the player can choose from over 400 tools that can be used to maximize the production of their farm. The game's farming equipment faithfully represents the tools used by real-life farmers and includes popular brands such as John Deere, Massey Ferguson, CLAAS, and more. Choose your tools wisely to make sure your farm is ready for the busy season.
Face the challenges of modern-day farming
The developers of FS22 made sure to include all the challenges that modern farmers face in their work in order to fully immerse the player in the world of the game. The main challenge the player might face in Farming simulator 22 will be the dynamic season simulation. The changing weather will impact the growth of crops - scorching summer heat might cause them to whither, while intense autumn downpours will wash away the seedlings. Knowing what tools to use to counteract these conditions will be crucial for the player's farm to succeed.
The initial response to Farming Simulator 22 was mostly positive. The reviewers praised the French countryside-inspired setting of the game, the increased realism making the farming more precise, as well as the changing weather conditions adding to the fuller experience of working in the challenging agricultural business.
Manage an agricultural enterprise in the heart of the French countryside.
Grow animals, plant crops, and witness nature's power at work.
Invest in tools that will help your farm thrive.
Face the challenging weather conditions during dynamically changing seasons.
Team up with friends and run the farm together in an online multiplayer.

I love running in the snow. There is something about the quiet, and brightness that really makes for a great run. The only problem is that it can be so darn slippery and dangerous. I have already discussed a mechanical way to deal with this issue in my article, snow chains for your sneakers. Now I am going to share three tips that you can use to make the physical adjustments needed to successfully deal with running on snow and ice.
My first suggestion is to shorten up your stride. When running on a dry surface, a long stride feels natural, and will help you to move along your path in an efficient manner. This is not the case when the ground is slippery. In this situation, a longer stride will impart more horizontal momentum to your body, which makes slipping more likely. All you need to do to combat this situation is to shorten your stride. This will take some of your horizontal momentum out of the equation, which will make you feel much more stable. When attempting this you may find that your running feels a bit choppier than normal. In my eyes this is a small price to pay in return for being able to continue running outside, regardless of the weather.
Along the same lines, you also want to try and make your steps lighter as you run. Taking heavier, more forceful strides will cause the same horizontal momentum issues that taking longer strides does. I expect that you will find that concentrating on taking gentler steps will go a long way to increasing your stability on poor running surfaces.
My last tip is to try and concentrate on how your feet push off of the ground. To be honest, I want you to focus on not pushing off. Instead, I would like you to concentrate on picking your foot up from the surface, instead of focusing on pushing off as you normally would. The best way to do this is to try and keep your core tight and engaged when you run, using it to generate the energy needed to lift your legs from the ground. Really try to focus on the thought "up" as you take each step. Learning to do this will go a long way to making your runs feel a much more comfortable when on slippery surfaces. An added bonus is that technique will not only help in the snow, but also on any poor surface you might encounter.
So there you have it. Just shorten up your stride, keep your steps light, and try to pick up your feet, instead of pushing off with them. If you work on these techniques, you will be comfortable running in the snow before you know it. It is definitely worth the trouble.

Offering students an emphasis in either traditional practice or interactive media, the sculpture concentration provides both disciplinary focus and an environment for interdisciplinary exploration. Advanced students work independently in individual studio spaces, train at outside arts organizations, and have access to a woodworking shop, a ceramics lab, plaster facilities, interactive media and robotics equipment, in addition to further resources offered by the Department of Fine Arts and the University at large. Students may also apply for the Advanced Sculpture Internship, which provides training in digital fabrication at the LEAP Academy Fabrication Lab. This breadth of training supports graduates with the skills and thinking necessary for careers in today's diverse and changing art world.
Our emphasis on authorship in the built environment aims to strengthen and focus each student's sense of personal direction and efficacy within a wide framework of contemporary art practice. Through a course of study that begins with the Sculpture Foundation class, students may take an array of offerings which include ceramics, object making, new media, ecological art, conceptual art, sustainable design, community art and programmable, interactive media. The culmination of work in this concentration is a capstone project. This semester-long investigation in a student elected area of advanced practice, becomes the beginning of a portfolio in fine art. The capstone work is formally shown at the annual Student Thesis Exhibition in a professional gallery space. Beyond professional practice, the ultimate goal of the concentration is to support students to creatively and technically communicate emotions, ideas and inner visions by creating three-dimensional works of art.
For information about the Sculpture concentration, contact Professor Elizabeth Demaray.

The Mean, the Median and the Motive The language of analytics is very appealing to our-fact based culture, yet some metrics are simply not to be counted on.

We believe in finding the highest quality, REAL ingredients and letting their flavour shine through.
Our ice cream is made with a very simple philosophy. It is based on the idea of home style cooking. The creaminess doesn't come from any secret ingredients, no synthetic stabilisers or emulsifiers, in fact nothing that you wouldn't find in a regular pantry at home, it simply comes from perfectly balanced recipes made with organic milk, fresh cream, raw sugar and free range egg yolks.
We make everything from scratch using real, whole ingredients. This means roasting & grinding organic nuts, making honeycomb, jams, coulis, caramels in our own kitchen. It's a little more work and a LOT more time consuming, but we're passionate about what we do and feel that the results speak for themselves. Our aim is to bring people the childhood joy of eating ice cream but with some adult sophistication in flavours that aren't based on the body's reaction to sugar, rather the perfect balance of flavour & texture.
At Billy van Creamy we are 100% committed to reducing our impact on the environment, which is why we use as much recycled or recyclable packaging as we can. Our store is fit out with as much recycled material as we could get our hands on too! We love supporting organic & ethical farming to reduce the impact our supply chain has on the environment, so feel free to get in touch if you we feel like we are missing something!
We love supporting the local art and culture scene that helped craft who we are, which is where the art in our shop comes from. We find up and coming artists to paint our shops and love the individual flair and character of our walls.

KIM You-jung to Become TWENTIETH CENTURY GIRL in Netflix Original Film
Writerby KIM Bo-ra
View2341
Romantic Drama to Co-Star BYUN Woo-seok
KIM You-jung will team up with BYUN Woo-seok for the forthcoming romantic drama Twentieth Century Girl (translated title), a Netflix original film.
The project marks the feature debut of director BANG Woo-ri and principal photography is expected to begin at some point in the second half of the year. The film will follow a story that takes place in a high school in 1999 and intersects with the present day.
Though still only 21 years old, KIM You-jung is a veteran and the big and small screen, having debuted at the age of four and remained consistently active since then. She is known for the dramas Love in the Moonlight and Backstreet Rookie and films such as The Chaser (2008) and Because I Love You (2017).
BYUN Woo-seok appeared in the popular drama Record of Youth last year and recently shot his first film, a Korean remake of the 2016 Chinese film Soul Mate.
Director BANG first gained notice with her short films, Mrs. Young (2014), It's a Visiting Day (2016) and The Cover Letter (2016), which have earned several awards, including Best Short at the Blue Dragon Film Awards in 2014. She was also the script editor for the comedy film CHEER UP, MR. LEE (2019).
Twentieth Century Girl is the third officially announced Korean Netflix original film, following JUNG Byung-gil's Carter and PARK Hyun-jin's Moral Sense. The film is being produced by Young Film, the company known for The Handmaiden (2016), Believer (2018) and last year's The Call.
