Sleep Number Classic Series Mattress Review
Home / Mattress Reviews / Sleep Number Classic Series Mattress Review
People looking for a mattress with adjustable firmness levels
Couples who have differing comfort preferences
Those who like sleeping on low-profile beds
Shoppers with flexible budgets
Sleep Number mattresses – like most airbeds – are fairly expensive. The Classic Series models cost less than the brand's other beds, but the c2 and c4 are still somewhat pricey.
All customers in the U.S. pay $199 for White Glove delivery, which includes in-home setup and old mattress removal. Customers in Alaska and Hawaii pay additional fees for the mattress itself, but not for delivery.
Sleep Number offers a 90-night sleep trial, but you'll need to test out your mattress for at least 30 nights before you'll be able to return or exchange the bed.
The c2 and c4 come with 25-year warranties. These warranties are prorated after two years, meaning you'll need to pay a certain percentage of the original bed's sticker price to replace a defective mattress beginning in year three.
Airbed
Medium Firm (6) to Firm (7-8)

Originally founded as Select Comfort in 1987, Sleep Number is one of the country's leading providers of airbed mattresses. Today, the company has a major brick-and-mortar and online presence. Sleep Number currently offers a handful of airbed mattress models. In this review, we'll look at the two models in the brand's Classic Series collection.
The c2 is Sleep Number's most affordable mattress, as well as one of the company's most popular models. This airbed is constructed with a polyfoam comfort layer over a support core with two adjustable air chambers. Adding or releasing air from each chamber can adjust how soft or firm the mattress feels. The c2's given firmness range is medium firm to firm, falling between a 6 and 8 on the 1-10 firmness scale.
The c4 is the more expensive model in the Classic Series. This airbed shares a similar design as the c2, but its polyfoam comfort layer is 1 inch thicker. This provides a wider firmness range for the c4, which offers a feel between medium (5) and firm (7-8) depending on how much air is in its support chambers.
Both the c2 and c4 are both equipped with sensors that track time asleep and awake, sleep position changes, and other nightly patterns. You can access personal sleep data using the proprietary SleepIQ app on your smartphone or tablet device, though you'll need a Wi-Fi connection in your bedroom. All Sleep Number airbeds are compatible with the SleepIQ app. In addition to the c2 and c4, these models include three airbeds in the Performance Series; three airbeds in the Innovation Series; and the m7 mattress in the Cooling Memory Foam Series. Each Sleep Number airbed offers a different firmness range.
If you're interested in the c2 or c4, keep reading our Sleep Number Classic Series review to learn more about these models. Below, you'll find current prices, construction details, performance ratings for both beds, and an overview of Sleep Number's delivery, return, and warranty policies.

You and your sleep partner have different firmness preferences
You're willing to spend a bit more for a new airbed
Sleep Number Classic Series Mattress Review Breakdown
The c2 airbed is constructed with a 2-inch layer of gel-infused polyfoam. This material is fairly adaptive and will conform to your body, but it also feels more responsive than memory foam and creates a light bounce on the surface. The bed's support core consists of two adjustable air chambers, one on each side. The dual-chamber design allows you to adjust the feel of each side of the mattress, making the bed ideal for couples with differing preferences. The c2's cover is made from a blend or rayon and polypropylene, giving the fabric a smooth and breathable feel. Altogether, this mattress measures 8 inches thick, making it a low-profile model.
The c4 features a 3-inch comfort layer of gel-infused memory foam. Added thickness to this layer creates a wider firmness range for the adjustable air chambers. While the c2 can be set for a feel between medium firm (6) and firm (7-8), the c4 provides a range of medium (5) to firm (7-8). As a result, people who weigh less than 130 pounds will probably feel a bit more comfortable on the c4. The c4's cover is made from a blend of polyester and polypropylene, but it offers the same smooth and cooling feel as the c2's cover. The c4 measures 9 inches thick, and is also considered a low-profile mattress.
Both beds can be adjusted using the remote-controlled Firmness Control System. This system corresponds to air hoses connected to each chamber. The remote is equipped with arrow buttons to make the bed feel softer or firmer.
The c2 and c4 also feature built-in sensors to track your sleep patterns using the SleepIQ app. Each morning, you'll be able to check up-to-date data regarding your REM cycles, time asleep and awake, position changes, breathing patterns, and other personal metrics. The app assigns a numerical score based on how well (or poorly) you've slept.

c2: 2/5, c4: 3/5
The c2's comfort layer is constructed with 2 inches of polyfoam. This material conforms a bit to your body but it feels fairly responsive, resulting in a light bounce on the surface. The material may absorb some movement from sleepers, but this mattress does not eliminate much transfer.
The c4 provides slightly better motion isolation due to its thicker comfort layer and softer feel, but this mattress will not eliminate much more transfer. Additionally, Sleep Number mattresses can be somewhat loud due to their electrical components. The noise potential and below-average motion isolation means you and your partner may experience some sleep disruptions on either mattress.
The polyfoam used in the c2's and c4's comfort layers has some adaptive qualities and conforms to a noticeable extent, but it does not offer the deep body contour of memory foam. This may result in less-than-adequate pressure relief for side sleepers, who often need deep cushioning for the shoulders and hips for even spinal alignment.
That said, the customizable feel of these airbeds can result in less pressure for some individuals. The softer firmness levels of these mattresses – the c4, in particular – will contour more closely, which may alleviate pressure points for people who weigh less than 130 pounds. Firmer feels could potentially mean better reinforcement and less sagging for people who weigh more than 230 pounds, but some people in these weight groups will find the beds too short and lacking in support.
The c2 offers good perimeter support. You'll notice some sinkage when getting on and off the mattress, and you may not feel comfortable sleeping near the edges – especially if you weigh more than 230 pounds – but the bed's firmer overall feel prevents excessive sagging. The air chamber support core offers a bit of reinforcement, but not as much as the coil systems or latex found in the base layers of other mattresses.
The c4 has a softer feel and a thicker comfort layer, so you should expect more sinkage when sitting or sleeping along the edges of the mattress. This issue may worsen over time as the foam begins to deteriorate. Due to the low profiles of the c2 and c4, people who weigh more than 230 pounds may not feel comfortable getting in and out of either mattress.
"Ease of movement" refers to how deeply a mattress sinks when you travel across the surface. If the comfort layer sinks too much, you'll probably have a harder time getting in and out of bed. Both the c2 and c4 feature polyfoam comfort layers that feel more responsive and bouncy than memory foam. You may notice some sinkage when moving on the surface, but not as much as you would on a bed with a memory foam comfort layer.
That said, ease of movement for either mattress depends on the selected firmness level. The c2 is easier to move across with a firm feel than a medium firm, since the latter will conform more closely and sink more. Overall, the c2 is easier to move across than the c4, which can be set to an even softer feel.
For most couples, the ideal mattress for sex will pro
vide an even balance of conforming and responsiveness. A closer contour ensures deeper traction, which helps you and your partner maintain a fixed position, while a bouncy surface allows you to move and change positions rather easily.
By these standards, the c2 is better for sex than the c4. The c2 conforms a bit for added traction but won't sink too deeply, so you and your partner can move freely. This mattress also has stronger edge support, allowing you to use the entire surface of the mattress (though you may feel some instability along the perimeter).
The c4 may not be as suitable for sex. This is especially true for the bed's medium feel, which sinks more and can restrict movement for you and your partner. Weaker edge support may also confine you to the middle of the mattress. With a medium firm or firm feel, the c4 performs slightly better.
Most mattresses emit some initial odor when new, but models with polyfoam and/or memory foam layers tend to produce the strongest and longest-lasting smells. The c2 and c4 have foam layers, but odor potential is fairly low for these airbeds. This can largely be attributed to their support cores, which generate enough airflow to clear out unwanted odors rather quickly.
Additionally, Sleep Number mattresses are delivered via White Glove couriers and are not compressed into a box. Mattresses that are compressed for shipping often release chemical smells when you unbox them. Since the c2 and c4 have more time to air out, they are less likely to emit strong odor when they arrive at your residence.
Adjustable firmness levels for both mattresses allow you to change the feel of either side of the bed.
Temperature control is reasonable for either model, preventing you from sleeping excessively hot or cold.
If properly maintained, the c2 and c4 both have expected lifespans of at least eight years.
Side sleepers generally prefer mattresses with softer feels. This ensures ample cushioning for their shoulders and hips without sagging too much, which promotes even spinal alignment and can reduce pressure throughout the body.
The c2 can be adjusted anywhere between medium firm (6) and firm (7-8). This range is a bit lower than the average airbed, and can be attributed to the c2's relatively thin comfort layer. Side sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds are most likely to find the c2 comfortable. Those who weigh less than 130 pounds may find the mattress too firm, regardless of the chosen firmness level. For side sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds, the firmness may be sufficient but these individuals are likely to find the mattress a bit too short.
The c4 offers a wider range of firmness levels, including a medium feel on its softest setting. This makes the mattress better suited to side sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds, in addition to those who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. Side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds may still find the mattress a bit too short, but its firmer levels should be reasonably comfortable.
Back sleepers tend to require a firmer mattress feel than side sleepers. Their spines align naturally, so most prefer a more balanced feel that conforms a bit while keeping their body on an even plane and not sagging beneath the torso, lower back, or hips.
The c2 should offer enough reinforcement for back sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds. Its firmness range ensures they won't sink too deeply, but the foam conforms closely enough to alleviate pressure in different areas of the body. Back sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds are likelier to sink too much between their shoulders and hips. When the body is not on an even plane, the potential for added aches, pains, and pressure points is much higher.
The c4's softer range will be ideal for many back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. Their bodies shouldn't sink too much (if at all), resulting in even support from head to toe. Those who weigh 130 pounds or more may experience more sinking if the mattress is set to a medium feel, but its medium firm and firm feels may be more suitable.
For most stomach sleepers, the most comfortable mattress provides enhanced support for the midsection and hips. People tend to carry more weight in these areas than elsewhere in their body and sleeping face-down can cause their body to sink too much beneath the surface, leading to added neck, shoulder, and lower back pain.
Neither the c2 nor the c4 are particularly well equipped for stomach sleepers. Although both beds can be set to firmer settings, stomach sleepers will probably still sink a bit due to the adaptive polyfoam comfort layers. We recommend a medium firm or firm feel for stomach sleepers weighing 130 pounds or more. Those who weigh less than 130 pounds will probably prefer the medium feel of the c4.
However, stomach sleepers are more susceptible to aches and pains than those who use other sleep positions. For this reason, it's possible that a stomach sleeper may experience discomfort on either mattress due to issues with their normal position, rather than the mattress itself.

Trial, Warranty, and Shipping Policies
The c2 and c4 mattresses are exclusively sold through Sleep Number. Previously, both were sold on Amazon.com, but both of their Amazon.com pages have been discontinued. You may purchase your mattress online using Sleep Number's website, or at one of the company's 611 brick-and-mortar locations across the U.S.
Sleep Number ships mattresses to all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
All mattresses are shipped via White Glove delivery. This service includes scheduled delivery date and time, in-home assembly, and old mattress removal upon request. Delivery costs $199 for all customers, but those outside the contiguous U.S. pay an additional $200 for the mattress itself. Sleep Number does not offer standard ground shipping.
Since White Glove couriers deliver the mattresses, they will not be compressed for shipping. Once the delivery personnel are finished assembling the mattress, you will be able to sleep on it. Delivery also includes a brief tutorial about changing the firmness and addressing potential maintenance issues.
Sleep Number offers a 90-night sleep trial for the c2 and c4. This trial includes a mandatory break-in period of 30 nights. You won't be able to return the mattress for a refund or exchange it for another model until after testing it out for at least 30 nights.
Sleep Number provides a full product refund for all returns within 90 nights, but the shipping charges are non-refundable.
The c2 and c4 each come with a 25-year warranty. These warranties are partially prorated, and divided into the following schedule:
Years 1-2: Coverage is completely non-prorated. Sleep Number covers all costs related to repairing or replacing a mattress that develops a defect during this time.
Years 3-19: Coverage is prorated. You'll pay 20 percent of the bed's sticker price for a replacement, plus an additional 4 percent for each year of ownership. For year 3, this amounts to 32 percent (20 percent + 4 percent x3); for year 4, this increases to 36 percent; and so on.
Years 20-25: Coverage is still prorated, and you'll pay a flat replacement fee that equates to 96 percent of the original product price.
The SleepIQ sensors and Firmness Control System remote are each covered under a separate two-year warranty. If you believe your mattress, SleepIQ sensors, or remote control have a defect, contact Sleep Number to initiate a warranty claim.

Director Michael Bay Penned 'Transformers 2' Script
In his effort to meet his scheduled release date, Michael Bay revealed that he did the screenwriting of the blockbuster movie's sequel and has actually finished writing it.
AceShowbiz - Not wanting his upcoming action film "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" to be affected by the writers' strike, director Michael Bay tackled the writing task himself. Rotten Tomatoes reported that the "Bad Boys" series helmer confessed that he has finished writing the sequel script of the blockbuster movie "Transformers".
At the Visual Effects Society awards, the 42-year-old filmmaker said, "I've been writing Transformers 2." He then stated, "We've got our characters all designed. I always write all my scripts, my movies anyway so at least I've got something to give the writers. It's like a template. We have a really good outline so I worked on that."
On the reason why he did the job, he revealed that he had to do so in order to make the movie on time saying, "We had to because I want to make my date. I'm not going to let the strike take me down." On the occasion, Bay also let out that the sequel will have many new characters. He said, "We can actually make the depth of these characters more fun and a lot more interesting characters. To see actually what you can achieve visually, you never know. When you go into a movie, you never know visually. I think I've got a lot of fun, interesting, funny characters."
On the down side, IESB reported that at the very same event, Bay has revealed to the site that though there will be a lot of interesting new characters, the movie won't include "Dinobots". The Paramount Pictures' sci-fi film which will still see its original actor %cShia LaBeouf% as the leading human role is slated for release on June 26, 2009.

Performance, music, and art have deep roots in the unique creative landscape of Los Angeles. New experimental power trio (Marnie Weber, Dani Tull, & Doug Harvey) Faüxmish is sure to be a part of this legacy.
Faüxmish is celebrating the release of their debut LP & CD 'F for Ache' with their debut public performance at Human Resources in Los Angeles on September 2nd. More info here.
Faüxmish is a Los Angeles art-rock supergroup that came together over a shared engagement with American spiritual sects who remove themselves from established social norms and create their own culture as outsiders.
Taking as their motto "Simplicity Through Noise," Faüxmish have developed a practice rooted in improvisational ensemble playing using electric guitars (played with rubber mallets and other extended as well as traditional techniques) and vintage synthesizers, in various combinations of three.
Initially conceived as a 'wall of sound,' the group's music rapidly developed a complex and idiosyncratic audio vocabulary drawing on the members' widely divergent individual musical backgrounds, which range from noise to prog, post-punk to film scores, and 90s alt-rock to improvisational audio collage. The results range from dreamy ambient soundscapes to theatrical rock songs.

Replacement Windows in Glendale ratings are essential for you as a house owner while you shop for Replacement Windows. By using the launched efficiency ratings, it will allow you to make a celery-to-celery evaluation between the different Glendale Replacement Windows you are selecting for your venture.
Who Decides the Glendale Replacement Windows Ratings?
The National Fenestration Rating Authorities (NFRC) is a company made by the companies within of the question, door and skylight community. The council depends on feedback general, contractors, designers, producers, government departments, and many other organizations to help in of the question ratings development procedure. The replacement window ratings system developed by the NFRC is based on total item efficiency.
Every window that is qualified to the NFRC requirements will include an NFRC brand on the item. This brand provides the only certain way to figure out a window's power qualities and make item evaluations between windows. The NFRC brand will also be found on all products, which are part of the ENERGY STAR program.
Four main replacement window ratings that the NFRC uses to figure out of the question efficiency, U-factor, Solar Heated Obtain Coefficient, Noticeable Mild Transmittance, and Air Leak. In the near future, a fifth window ranking will be included: Moisture build-up or condensation Level of resistance.
The following segments determine in depth each of the question ratings that the NFRC uses to analysis the efficiency of windows.
The rate of warmth reduction is indicated regarding the U-factor (U-value) of a window set up. Because it is an analysis of warmth reduction through of the question, the bottom the U-value, the better of the question will perform. When you are buying Replacement Windows in Glendale is sure to talk regarding the U-Value and not the R- Value of the windows.
R-Values are an analysis of how well something protects and is typically used to assess the efficiency of insulating material in your surfaces. The insulating material value is indicated by the R-value, which is the inverse of the U-value. The reduced the U-value, the higher a window is potential to deal with heat flow and the better its insulating material value.
The formal purpose of the Solar Heated Obtain Coefficient is as follows: The SHGC is the portion of occurrence solar rays confessed through a window, both confessed through a window, both straight passed on, and consumed and consequently launched inward. SHGC is indicated as a number between zero and one. The reduced a window's solar heat gain coefficient, the less solar heat it sends.
While that is a very specific meaning, you are probably present thinking what the terrible it means! In basic conditions solar heat gain is the same feeling you get when you stand in the sun for a long time. Solar glowing heat strikes your body system and begins to warm your skin. After time your body system has consumed the sun's glowing heat and you have essentially "gained" in. These results in your heat range increasing and you get hot and want to get out of the sun.
The similar concept is applicable to the windows in your home. As the sun surpasses down on your windows, the windows will begin to soak up heat gain. If the SHGC is on top of the question, heat goes right on through and begins to raise the "body temperature" of your home.
By having a window with a low SHGC, you prevent the glowing heat from being able to pass through of the question keeping the inside of the home chilly in the nice and cozy summer time. SHGC is the more essential in the southern part of environments than it is in North because of the sun's intense heat.

Our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is full of character and simply done right. Named after Evan Williams, who opened Kentucky's First Distillery along the banks of the Ohio River in 1783, it's aged far longer than required by law. The result is a Bourbon that's smooth, rich, and easy to enjoy.
Evan Williams"Black Label" is a straight bourbon that is aged longer and stronger for a smoother, oaky taste profile and also stands up in cocktails. Evan Williams 'White Label' is the number one selling Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon in world. The extensive range also has an Evan Williams "1783" bourbon that is produced in more limited quantities, and a nine-year-old single barrel bourbon sold in vintage-dated bottles sealed with black wax.
Evan Williams also has a liqueur range which features five flavours that appeal to existing and new consumers – Honey, Apple, Peach, Cherry and Fire.
WHY WE CHOSE EVAN WILLIAMS
The Evan Williams portfolio boasts countless awards including 'Best Buy Whiskey of the Year,' 'Best of Class' and 5 times 'Whiskey of the Year.' This is truly Bourbon done right.

Student - 20 juni 2013
Agreement on seats division Independent Members
The Independent candidates reached a decision on the division of the seats in the student council next year. Their conclusion puts an end to the uncertainty that arose after the announcement of the election results on the 28th of May.
25-Student-Council6-Lennart-Verhoeven.jpg
The Independent candidates decided unanimously that the number of votes cast for each candidate should be the determining factor on who gets a seat in the student council. This means Gilbert Atuga (163 votes) will get a seat after all, at the expense of Daohong Yang (20 votes). Gilbert is elated about this result. 'The voice of the people that voted for me has finally been heard, I am happy that their votes count. Of course there has been some discussion about this, that's politics, but in the end we all agreed that the number of votes should be the only defining criterion. I believe numbers don't lie.'
Whether or not Gilbert takes his spot in the student council next year is yet unclear, he says. There are some technical issues which need to be solved first, one of them being his scholarship. 'This to me is a tricky situation, because I am not sure if my sponsor will allow me to take a year off to serve in the student council. I have to make a good case, so they can see through my arguments that the student council is a positive step for me building up my leadership and other political skills.' Gilbert hopes to give a decisive answer to his fellow student council members soon.
This week the Independent Members and Veste discussed the different committees within the council, and who will work on which topics.

Why I Picked This Book: The astrology aspects interested me and I love this author's books under the name Connie Archer.
My Impression: I must say this is the first book I've read about an astrologer. I'm familiar with horoscopes but never gave much thought to all the retrogrades and what have you. I found it interesting that while Julia is an astrologer she's very clear about how different that is from psychics or mediums and all the other things that get kind of lumped together. Julia herself is an interesting character. She's intelligent and a bit damaged without being angsty about it. She takes her job seriously and I liked that she was professional in how she dealt with her clients. It always drives me a little crazy when the main character in a cozy mystery has a job but never actually seems to do it. With Julia not only do we see her doing her job but we see how the protests from the followers of Reverend Roy impacts her professionally and personally. I also enjoyed seeing members of the occult community coming together.
I was a little annoyed with Julia's reluctance to report certain events to the police. As the story progressed it became clear why she didn't trust them but it did bother me that she refused to make a police report and then would immediately encourage a colleague to call the police so that there would be a pattern of harassment. It didn't make sense. There's also a little more telling than showing which at times kept me from getting fully into the mystery. Since I've read and loved other books from di Marco under the name Connie Archer (A Clue in the Stew is fantastic) I think this is because it is the first book in the series and a lot of setup is required.
I really enjoyed the mystery itself. There's a lot going on but di Marco never let the story get confusing or muddled but kept me guessing throughout the book. I was never certain how things were going to unravel until they did. This was a fun read with an entertaining and unique main character. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble Julia gets into next and how she and her friends get themselves out of it!
Would I Read More of this Series/Author?: Absolutely! I'll definitely be picking up the 2nd book in the series and I'm looking forward to catching up on her Soup Lover's series under the name Connie Archer.
Would I Recommend this Book?: Definitely! There are a few first book in the series flaws but the mystery and the characters are so much fun!
You are soo on a cozy mystery reading binge! I think a lot of first books have a lot set up. I'm glad the mystery kept you guessing.
Thanks so much for hosting my stop today, Katherine!
Hmm this does sound interesting. The astrology angle is certainly fun and I'm glad this was a good one. I think it would be interesting to see how astrology and mystery mix- that's a good combo!
Hi Greg ~ I thought it was a good combination too! I hope you get to enjoy Julia's trials and tribulations very soon! Best of luck, Greg!
It sounds so intriguing and I want to read it!
Hi Donamae ~ Wishing you lots of luck and thanks for visiting today!
My friends and I were into astrology in high school, just a fun thing. This sounds like a nice start to the series.
Hi Christy ~ You might enjoy listening in on Julia's sessions with her clients! Best of luck!
Reading lots of good reviews, can't wait. Hi Connie!
Hi Sally ~ Thanks for visiting today! Really hope you enjoy Julia and her cronies!! Best of luck!
I am very interested in the astrology theme. I hope this is the beginning of a lone journey. I had charts done, followed horoscopes, and review Zodiak characteristics. Fascinating!
Hi Kathleen ~ You're a woman after Julia's heart, I think you'll enjoy visiting with her and her clients! And she even uses astrology to figure out the murderer! Best of luck!
Ohh great review this one really looks and sounds absolutely great and very intriguing. Thank you for your awesome post.
Thanks for stopping by today, Katiria ~ best of luck!
The Madness of Mercury sounds like a great cozy mystery, and I adore the cover art.
Hi Jen - didn't the artist do an amazing job? She gave Julia a psychedelic apartment and I love the fireplace too! Best of luck to you!
I'm reading this one now for a blog tour. I'm enjoying it.
IKnterested me enough, Katherine, to enter the giveaway - something I rarely do.
This is one I have been wanting to read. I like the idea of an astrologer as a protagonist. Although I'm not a 100% believer, I do find astrology interesting.

Final Strain - A closing section of the melody• March music dates back to the Ottoman Empire of the 1850.• It has a strong regular rhythm with percussion and brass as leads.• Originally used to keep soldiers in beat while marching even if tired.• Marches have even been used in the circus.


When it comes to the things that can make or break an event, couple of are as important as the quality, flavor and look of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which caterer to work with, and if you believe this decision actually isn't that essential, take a look at it in this manner, remarkable catering can rescue an event that's on the rocks, but bad catering will generally send out guests to the doors.
In addition, since catering is frequently the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for most occasions, the catering service you choose is also a substantial monetary choice and can affect how much money you have left over to invest in other areas depending on food expenses and quantities.
Add in that catering services can differ dramatically in their prices and the kinds of meals and services they use, and the procedure of choosing a catering service can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this came up over and over and over again, generally since how responsive and interested a caterer is during your preliminary conversations is a sign of how they will perform during the length of their agreement with you (and more on contracts later on).
A prospective catering service must be learning as much as they can about you in your very first couple of discussions with them, so you must anticipate them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you offering answers and describing your requirements about 80% of the time.
So when interviewing your Noble Park North catering services (and you should consult with at least 3 catering services for any event with a reasonable budget), you have to specify about the type of event you are planning and the kind of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you may end up picking a caterer who merely isn't a good suitable for the type or style of your occasion.
Practically every caterer has a standard menu or menus to choose from, and lots of do offer some level of built-in flexibility to adapt these menus to your specific requirements by replacing particular items and/or tailoring others.
Nevertheless, the standout catering services will surpass standardized menu options and be willing to produce fantastic fare that matches even more particular theme and dietary requirements.
Some people shy away from asking to sample the specific items they desire for their event because it appears like a trouble for the caterer, however it is standard to request a tasting of exactly what you are planning to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a fee, it's a small cost to pay to guarantee you pick the ideal catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also take care of how it exists, as any caterer who makes the effort to correctly display a sample will probably be more likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
You might remain in for a surprise if you work with a BBQ take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraising event. Or if you choose a high-end corporate event catering service to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Due to the fact that these caterers may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
Much more conventional venues can also have restrictions that catering services need to follow, like particular setup standards or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a caterer that is familiar with a location's rules can potentially save you great deals of hassle on event day.
The catering service's contract should clearly spell out exactly what food, beverages and services the caterer will be offering on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it must protect you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you might wish to consider having a lawyer} take a look at it before you sign it.
Every detail should be included in the agreement, included selected menus, number of servings and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if suitable) and all prices and extra services.
No catering service in Noble Park North with a shred of dignity and scruples participates in a contract with strategies to bail at the last minute, but you have to make certain there is a cancellation stipulation in your contract just in case your caterer needs to cancel.
However, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always reputable (or even authentic); for instance, a good caterer may have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who skew their rankings, while a truly average catering service might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can find some previous customers of the catering services you are thinking about and reach out to them.
Surprisingly, how long a catering company in Noble Park North has been in business might not be as critical in choosing a fantastic caterer as you might think.

Celebrating Black History Month
October marks Black History Month, which is an annual celebration of the history, achievements and contributions of Black people in the UK.
It would be fair to say that the forest industries, as a whole, are not attracting many ethnically diverse people to work within the sector. Estimates suggest that only around two per cent of the forestry sector are from ethnic minority backgrounds.
Scottish Forestry is very keen to attract a more diverse workforce and is committed to policies which foster equality, diversity and inclusion.
By attracting more staff from ethnic groups, we hope to remove barriers and provide more role models so that others can see that forestry is a great career for them too.
Although ethnic minorities make up around six per cent of the Scottish population, research has found that only a fraction of this were connecting with woodlands in some way.
For this reason, Scottish Forestry has undertaken engagement work with ethnic minority groups for many years.
Our work has been mainly focussed in the central belt and aims to encourage people from all backgrounds to enjoy the benefits and opportunities that our woods and forests provide.
Engagement Programme
The Scottish Forestry engagement programme works with a great many different organisations and finds innovative ways to break down cultural barriers which might prevent groups from enjoying woodlands.
The work has included celebrating traditional faith festivals in the woodlands, sharing cultural folklore stories in workshops and the setting up a network of volunteer community champions in partnership with CEMVO. The 'champions' were taught to lead their own community woodland workshops for people from diverse backgrounds and religions and are Scottish Forestry ambassadors at community events.
A Women's Leadership Programme was also developed specifically for women and ran for three years. Twenty four women signed up and were trained to run their own projects in woodland settings.
The engagement programme has continued throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, although in different guises – mainly using social media and online activities. An example is a new "Woodlands for All" multicultural swatch book created by Anna Canning of Floramedica. Weekly online community consultations took place on the back of the booklet involving around 55 people and is still going – it's a great way to bring the woodland into your home.
There's plenty of activities planned too for minority groups in the coming months.
Woodland Health Walks
Scottish Forestry is working with Monica Wilde, herbalist, on a series of woodland health walk and immune boosting workshops to set everyone up for winter. Provisional dates in October are 6th, 15th, 20th and 29th October in Avonbridge, Bathgate. These walks are targeted at protected characteristic groups and people who have had barriers to accessing the woodlands and outdoors.
Wellbeing Wednesdays
Scottish Forestry is working with Operation Play Outdoors to offer a series of wellbeing in the woods sessions for adults to get back outdoors over the coming months. The sessions are delivered in Glasgow and offer a range of natural crafts and wellbeing activities all created to have a fun and relaxing woodland experience. Please contact Craig, at Operation Play Outdoors for more details, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Woodland Wheels
To encourage all groups into the forest for exercise, easy cycling groups have been set up in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Places are limited and booking is essential. More details on the programme's facebook page here. To book, complete the form here.

Lastly, in what's perhaps the most radical approach, researchers in Malaysia are working on digitising smell so that it can be replicated anywhere. Moving away from cartridges that contain chemicals, this approach uses electric current delivered directly to the nasal cells, which causes the recipient to perceive odors that aren't there. While this was an uncomfortable and early-stage proof of concept, strides in this area would be exciting for VR and many different experiences online.

California Streets Turning Into Robot Car Laboratories
Submitted by John Simpson on Fri, 08/21/2015 - 15:21
The latest to turn our streets into a corporate laboratory is BMW with one robot car and driver certified by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Nine companies are now testing 78 robot cars with 311 approved drivers on California's highways, underscoring the need for thorough, impartial investigations of any crashes.
Google leads the pack with with 48 cars (including 25 prototype cars) and 191 drivers who have been certified by the DMV. That's probably why the Internet giant has been in the most accidents — 15. Delphi, with two cars and nine drivers, has reported one crash.
The other six companies testing cars as of Aug. 14, the latest data available, are: Volkswagen with three cars and 30 drivers, Mercedes Benz with five cars and 13 drivers, Tesla with 12 cars and 16 drivers, Bosch LLC with two cars and 20 drivers, Nissan with three cars and 20 drivers, and Cruise Automation with two cars and 11 drivers.
Earlier this summer the DMV shined a needed light on the robot car testing process by deciding to release official accident reports with personal information redacted. It was a significant step forward in helping the public understand what can go wrong when self-driving vehicles share the road with humans.
But it's far from adequate, which is why Consumer Watchdog this week wrote to the DMV and asked it to amend the accident reporting requirements.
"The robot car accident reports are prepared and filed by the company doing the testing. Inevitably the companies will present their version of what happened in any crash in the best possible light," Consumer Watchdog told the DMV. "Relying solely on the word of the testing company is not adequate to protect the legitimate public interest in ensuring robot cars are tested safely."
The DMV must require that police investigate any crashes involving the test vehicles so they interview the drivers and witnesses and file an independent report. In addition the DMV should require that any data and video gathered by a robot car just before and during a crash should be provided to the department. And, the video and data – with personally identifying information redacted – should be released to the public.
Google's robot cars have been involved in 15 crashes. Under the current reporting system the DMV – and the public – must rely entirely on the Internet giant's version of what happened. There is no independent third-party verification. "Trust us, we're Google" simply isn't good enough when our public highways become the company's laboratory.

Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony (right) will no doubt discuss the next managerial appointment with director of football Barry Fry.
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony will not rush his next managerial appointment.
MacAnthony is seeking the sixth different Posh boss of his eight-year reign at London Road following the departure of Darren Ferguson and five members of his coaching staff.
*Praised Ferguson for his work at the Posh, but hammered the recent efforts of his players.
*Condemned the work done by the Posh coaching staff.
*Claimed that several players have gone backwards this season.
*Revealed that he had a new manager in mind, but that he wouldn't rush into an appointment as he did when Ferguson left the club in November, 2009.
*Insisted that he wanted Academy boss Dave Robertson to 'make his life difficult' by inspiring some better results. Robertson will be in charge for Saturday's (February 28) League One fixture with Bradford City at the ABAX Stadium.
*Believed that Robertson would bring 'cohesion' to the playing squad thanks to an analytical mind and a great work ethic. The chairman will however be interviewing managerial candidates while Robertson runs the team.
*Claimed that agents had already inundated him with job applications from their clients.
*Felt the performance at Bristol City was worse than the one at MK Dons because Posh set up not to lose rather than to win.
*Revealed he received a text message from Ferguson after the MK Dons game apologising for the display. When they spoke later on the phone, Ferguson admitted that he 'was banging his head against a brick wall' and that 'the players were no longer responding to him'.
*Said that he only wants winners at the club. 'I won't settle for second best any more,' MacAnthony stated.
*Insisted that pressure from fans on social media didn't influence his decision to discard Ferguson and his coaching staff. 'The views of 50 people don't necessarily reflect the view of 4,000,' MacAnthony stated.

Q: SQL query to fill multiple needs with partial quantities by using Oracle SQL window functions I would like to solve an abstract problem which raised multiple times in my SQL history. This abstract problem can better be realized if we imagine we're a sales company and talk about parts (products) we want to sell, which are therefor needed at different dates in different quantities.
On the other hand we have our "fill possibilities", like e.g. quantities which come from stock, production, purchasing at different dates and quantities.
I would like to fill those needs ordered by the date needed and date available using only one query (no procedure, no temp tables).
As technical base you can assume to have two tables:

*

*NEED_TABLE, which lists multiple needs, date needed and quantities.

*FILL_TABLE, which lists multiple "fills", date available and quantities.

In my example there are two needs:

*

*Need A: we need partno 123 in qty 4 at date 01/02/2019

*Need B: we need partno 123 in qty 2 at date 06/02/2019

And we have two "fills" in different quantities:

*

*Fill X: we have partno 123 in qty 2 in a purchase order, available 01/01/2019

*Fill Y: we have partno 123 in qty 4 in a purchase order, available 06/01/2019

Result should be:

*

*I need partno 123 with qty 4 at 1/2/2019 ("Need A"), which is filled by a purchase order in qty 2 ("Fill X") and by another purchase order in qty 2 ("Fill Y" - partial).

*I need partno 123 with qty 2 at 6/2/2019 ("Need B"), which is filled by a purchase order in qty 2 ("Fill Y" - partial).

SQL query:
with
    NEED_TABLE
    as
        (select 'A' NEED_ID, 123 partno, to_date('01/02/2019', 'MM/DD/YYYY') DATE_NEEDED, 4 NEED_QTY from dual
         union all
         select 'B' NEED_ID, 123 partno, to_date('06/02/2019', 'MM/DD/YYYY') DATE_NEEDED, 2 NEED_QTY from dual),
    FILL_TABLE
    as
        (select 'X' FILL_ID, 123 partno, to_date('01/01/2019', 'MM/DD/YYYY') DATE_AVAILABLE, 2 FILL_QTY from dual
         union all
         select 'Y' FILL_ID, 123 partno, to_date('06/01/2019', 'MM/DD/YYYY') DATE_AVAILABLE, 4 FILL_QTY from dual)

       , lag(need_QTY - fill_QTY, 1, need_QTY)
             over(
                 partition by NEED_ID
                 order by DATE_NEEDED, DATE_AVAILABLE) REAL_NEED_QTY
       , greatest(
               lag(need_QTY - fill_QTY, 1, need_QTY)
                   over(
                       partition by NEED_ID
                       order by DATE_NEEDED, DATE_AVAILABLE)
             - FILL_QTY
           , 0) LEFT_NEED_QTY
       , abs(
             least(
                   lag(need_QTY - fill_QTY, 1, need_QTY)
                       over(
                           partition by NEED_ID
                           order by DATE_NEEDED, DATE_AVAILABLE)
                 - FILL_QTY
               , 0)) LEFT_FILL_QTY
    from NEED_TABLE, FILL_TABLE
order by DATE_NEEDED, DATE_AVAILABLE;

If you check the result of that query, all seems to be fine for the first NEED_ID "A". But as it continues with NEED_ID "B", it doesn't remember that the FILL_IDs X and Y already have been decreased while filling need "A".
I expect a result like:
NEED_ID A is filled by FILL_ID X qty 2

NEED_ID A is filled by FILL_ID Y qty 2

(NEED_ID A is filled by FILL_ID X qty 0)

NEED_ID B is filled by FILL_ID Y qty 2

NEED_TABLE:
| NEED_ID | PARTNO | DATE_NEEDED | NEED_QTY |
|---------|--------|-------------|----------|
| A       | 123    | 01/02/2019  | 4        |
| B       | 123    | 06/02/2019  | 2        |

FILL_TABLE:

Any help is very appreciated - thx!

A: Here is my try:
with
  need(rn, nid, nq) as (
    select 1, 'A', 4 from dual union all
    select 2, 'B', 2 from dual ),
  fill(rf, fid, fq) as (
    select 1, 'X', 2 from dual union all
    select 2, 'Y', 4 from dual ),
  u as (
    select rn, nid, -nq nq, null rf, null fid, null fq from need
    union all select null, null, null, rf, fid, fq from fill),
  c (crn, cnid, cnq, crf, cfid, cfq, rest, amt) as (
    select rn, nid, nq, 0, fid, fq, nq, 0 from u where rn = 1
    union all
    select nvl(rn, crn), nvl(nid, cnid), nvl(nq, cnq),
           nvl(rf, crf), nvl(fid, cfid), nvl(fq, cfq), rest + nvl(nq, fq),
           least(abs(rest), abs(nvl(nq, fq)))
      from c
      join u on rest >= 0 and rn = crn + 1
             or rest <  0 and rf = crf + 1 )
select cnid, cfid, amt from c where amt <> 0

I simplified data, but partno can be easily added in joins and partition by of proper row_numbers and dates are important only for ordering rows. If they have more meaning they can be added now, but let's start with something clearer.
How it works. need and fill are our data source. u is union of these tables with need and fill data in separate columns. This union is needed to make next query working.
c is recursive CTE which starts with first fill. It is our anchor. In the next step I add (in join) fill or need row depending on what we got in previous rest. If rest is lower than zero it means then we have to look for next fill row.
If it is greater it means then we got surplus from fills and we can look for next need. At each step the amount of the transaction is counted which equals to lower value from previous rest and currently joined fill/need.
Finally I take amounts and both sides of transaction. Tested on some examples.
demo

A: Maybe the following ideas will help: {1} write 2 views, which break down the NEED_QTY and FILL_QTY values into "atoms" ie the smallest available units.  (If you just want one massive query eventually, you can incorporate the view code into the final query later). {2} JOIN the 2 views {3} use GROUP BY ROLLUP to get some usable output.
Views
-- NEED: required items, broken down into "atoms" ie smallest available quantities
create or replace view nvw
as
select
  need_id as nid
, partno
, need_qty as nqty
, date_needed as ndate
, single_item
, row_number() over ( order by need_id, partno, date_needed ) row_
from need_table N cross apply (
    select 1 as single_item from dual connect by level <= N.need_qty
) SN
;

-- FILL: available items, broken down into "atoms" ie smallest available quantities
create or replace view fvw
as
select
  fill_id as fid
, partno
, fill_qty as fqty
, date_available as fdate
, single_item
, row_number() over ( order by fill_id, partno, date_available ) row_
from fill_table F cross apply (
    select 1 as single_item from dual connect by level <= F.fill_qty
) SF
;

JOIN the views
select *
from (
  select fid, partno, fqty, single_item, row_ from fvw
) FV join (
  select nid, partno, nqty, single_item, row_ from nvw
) NV on FV.row_ = NV.row_ ;

-- result
FID  PARTNO  FQTY  SINGLE_ITEM  ROW_  NID  PARTNO  NQTY  SINGLE_ITEM  ROW_
X    123     2     1            1     A    123     4     1            1

Y    123     4     1            6     B    123     2     1            6

6 rows selected.

GROUP BY ROLLUP
-- dates omitted for clarity
select  NV.nid, FV.fid, sum( FV.single_item ) real_fill
from (
  select fid, partno, fqty, single_item, row_ from fvw
) FV join (
  select nid, partno, nqty, single_item, row_ from nvw
) NV on FV.row_ = NV.row_
group by rollup ( NV.nid, FV.fid );

-- result
NID   FID   REAL_FILL
A     X     2
A     Y     2
A     NULL  4
B     Y     2
B     NULL  2
NULL  NULL  6

The views/queries have been written with the central problem ie "fill multiple needs with partial quantities" in mind.  You can add more column names to the GROUP BY clause (eg the dates).  Tested with Oracle 12c and 18c.  DBfiddle here.
This concept can also be used for the scenario described in your comment (2 packs of 10 must be filled by items that are stored in 4 bins, containing 5 items each ) - see DBfiddle.

Material substance is not perfectly continuous in its structure, as it appears to our gross senses
Extension (from Lat. extendere, to spread out).—That material substance is not perfectly continuous in its structure, as it appears to our gross senses, the physical sciences demonstrate. The microscope reveals pores in the most compact matter, while the permeation of gases and even of liquids through solids indicates that the densest bodies would probably present to a sufficiently penetrating eye a sponge-like structure throughout. This fact, together with the difficulty of explaining how the senses can perceive extension, has led many theorists to deny its objectivity, although, on the other hand, the first of modern philosophers, Descartes, was so impressed by the universality of extension that he held it to be the very essence of matter. Kant makes extension a subjective form, an original condition of sensuous faculty which when stimulated by the sense-object stamps the impression accordingly. Others, with Leibniz, resolve matter into simple unextended points (monads), which by their agitation are supposed to produce in us the impression of continuous extension. Others, with Boscovich (d. 1787), subtilize matter into simple forces which some hold to be "virtually" extended. The Atomists (physical and chemical) dissolve bodies into minute particles or atoms (which some consider to be absolutely, others only physically, indivisible) of certain elementary substances, which hitherto have defied further analysis but which may eventually turn out to be merely varying arrangements of some primordial homogeneous material, the radical constituent of the universe. The present teaching of Catholic philosophy on the subject may be summarized as follows: Extension is either successive (fluent, as that of a stream and of time), or permanent. The latter may be viewed as either (a) continuous (mathematical, i.e. abstract, as a line; or physical), when the entitative or integrant parts into which its immediate subject, material substance, is divisible are united (perfectly or imperfectly) throughout, e.g. a homogeneous wire; (b) contiguous, when the said parts are conjoined only by contact, e.g. a brick wall; (c) interrupted, when those parts are in some degree disjoined, though connected by an intermediate, e.g. a string of beads. We are here occupied with continuous extension only.
Continuous extension may be described as that property in virtue whereof the parts into which material substance is divisible are situally arranged in orderly relation one beyond the other (internal and potentially local extension) and hence are naturally commensurate with the corresponding parts of the immediately environing surfaces (external and actual local extension). Consequent attributes of extension are divisibility, measurability, and impenetrability. Wherein precisely the essence of extension consists, is a controverted question. Probably the more general opinion is that extension radically and essentially consists in the internal distribution of the parts into which matter is divisible, and that external extension, or the correspondence of those parts to the parts of the locating surfaces, is a sequent property of essential or internal extension. Of course this does not explain extension. Some nearer approach to an explanation may be found in the opinion of a recent writer (Pecsi) who makes extension consist in the expansive and cohesive forces of matter—the former causing the said parts to spread out, the latter keeping them united.
Continuous extension is an objective property of matter, not a mere mental form moulding the sensuous impression produced in the sensory organs by some sort of physical motion. What it is that extension immediately affects—whether the ultimate atoms, the constituent molecules, or the gross mass of matter—we are unable in the present stage of physical science to decide. Even should it turn out, however, as many conjecture, that the densest solid—to say nothing of a liquid or a gas—is but what might be called an "infinitely" complex arrangement of infinitesimal corpuscles—atoms or electrons-gyrating in a matrix of ether, continuous extension would still remain real (objective), though it would then be the immediate property of the constituent corpuscles and the ether instead of a property of the gross mass. It is experimentally demonstrable that sensuous impressions are aroused in us by bodies as extended and resistent. Now if bodies were constituted of simple, unextended points—monads or forces—these could not stimulate the sensory organs, since such elements, apart from the fact that they would all coalesce and copenetrate, could not be the subjects of material activity (etherial or aerial vibrations, chemical reactions, i.e. the immediate sense-stimuli). Nor could the organs evoke the sensation, since in the hypothesis they, too, being made up of unextended elements, would be incapable of material action. Neither will it do to say that the motion of the supposed "points" might evoke sensation, since being unextended they would be imperceptible whether in motion or at rest.
Extension is an "absolute accident", that is not a mere mode in which substance exists, as, for instance, are motion and rest. It seems to have a certain distinct entity of its own. This, of course, would most probably never have been suspected by the human mind unaided by Revelation. But given the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, wherein the extensional dimensions and sensible qualities of bread and wine persist after the conversion of the substance of the bread and wine into His Body and Blood, reason, speculating on the doctrine, discerns some grounds for the possibility of the real distinction and even severance between substance and local extension. In the first place there are motives for inferring a real distinction between substance and extension (actual and local), or, in other words, that extension does not constitute the essence of material substance (as Descartes maintained that it does): (a) substance is the root principle of action; extension as such is either inactive or at most a proximate principle; (b) substance is the ground of specification; extension as such is indifferent to any species, since shape or figure which is the dimensional termination of extension depends upon the specific form; (c) substance is identical in the entire mass and in each of its parts (e.g. in gold), while extension is not the same in the whole and in each of its parts; (d) substance is the principle of unity; extension is the formal principle of plurality; (e) substance essentially demands three dimensions; extension may be realized in one or two; (f) substance remaining the same, extension may increase or decrease.
Given a real distinction between extension and substance, no intrinsic impossibility can be proven to exist in the separation of one from the other, for although internal extension naturally demands external, there is no evidence that the demand is so essentially imperative that Omnipotence cannot supernaturally suspend its realization and by other means afford the accidents—extension and the rest—the support which the substance naturally supplies. Since material substance owes the distribution of its integral parts to extension, the question arises whether, independently of extension, it possesses any such parts (it, of course, possesses parts essential to corporeal substance, matter and form), or is simple, indivisible. St. Thomas and many others maintain that substance as such is indivisible. Suarez and others hold that it is divisible. For this and the other questions concerning the divisibility of extension, and the psychology of the subject, the reader is referred to the works mentioned below.

Habitat management and restoration is one of the important strategies in conservation being used globally to increase the extent of ecologically important habitats with enhanced ecological functions. Today, habitat degradation and loss are among the most significant threats to wildlife conservation worldwide. In Nepal, the state of ecosystems health and habitat quality are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic causes that is further aggravated by the impacts from climate change.
NTNC is playing a key role in the restoration and management of important wetlands, grasslands and forests through protection, reforestation and afforestation; land stabilization; and water source protection. NTNC's conservation initiatives have significantly contributed to the country's target of increasing forest cover. In collaboration with the government and other conservation partners, some of our notable successes are in the effective management of forests in ACA, restoration of Barandabar and Khatha corridors, Baghmara community forest restoration, reclamation of Beeshazari and associated lakes, and management of important grassland habitats in Shuklaphata, Bardia, Banke, and Chitwan.
In the high mountain regions, NTNC continues to make important interventions to address the rapid deterioration of the Himalayan environment by developing clean and efficient energy systems along with community-based resource measures that help in the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources. Similarly, our successes in instituting a community-based protected area management approach in the three conservation areas have resulted in local stewardship for management and restoration of large tracts of land. All of these have contributed significantly to the improvement of habitat quality and connectivity subsequently leading to gradual increase in the population of important wildlife species such snow leopard, as well as enhancing important ecological services.

In Remembrance of Michael Frome: 1920-2016
Forces of Nature: Environmental Elders Speak
Born in the Bronx in 1920, Michael Frome was an important author and teacher. He was an inspiration to a generation of conservationists and environmentalists. Throughout his life Michael was an outspoken advocate and defender of wilderness and public lands. After serving our country in the U.S. Air Force, he continued to serve as an untiring environmental voice for the remainder of his 96 years. His voice will be missed.
Professor Frome was an author of more than 20 books, a columnist for numerous magazines and newsletters, and a teacher of journalism. He taught at the University of Idaho and at University of Vermont. He also taught environmental journalism and writing at Northland College (Wisconsin) and Western Washington University. In 1995 he retired from the faculty of Western Washington University. Professor Frome received the prestigious honor from the University of Idaho that established the Michael Frome scholarship for excellence in conservation writing.
Michael also received many awards: among them, the Wilderness Writing Award from the Wild Foundation; the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Award (behalf of the National Parks); and the 1980 award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors.
