Well, let me start and I know Dave will want to add. First of all, Aereo is a very, very, very small number of subscribers at this point, barely a blip on the screen, so we'll start with that. So its impact right now is obviously extraordinarily inconsequential. But what I would say is that as a content creator, we philosophically believe that content creators should be compensated for the use of their content. That's what retransmission revenues and fees are all about, us being fairly compensated for the content that we provide. And we're not directly involved, but clearly, on the West Coast, the trial courts of the area have taken quite a different picture of this and a different attitude and result than the New York courts have taken thus far. We believe that the courts are ultimately going to conclude that Aereo must compensate broadcasters before it can retransmit over-the-air broadcast programming to its subscribers. I mean, that's just a fundamental tenet of copyright laws and content and everything else. But, Dave, I don't know if you want to...

Welcome to the Boarding Board.
boarding process and learn from others.
If you really weant your suggesrtion heard, then I suggest you conact the company with your suggestion. To do so click on contact us at the bottom of this page, and then pick your preferred method of communication from those listed on the top left of the ensuing page.
Easiest way to share this is to tweet it at the team (@SouthwestAir). Safe travels!
Yes, I have to concur. This is becoming more and more of a problem. Another problem is cheap seat 'through" passengers jumping seats on direct flights between flight legs (segments).
I too, fly quite often and early in the year on Business Select and then once the A-List Preferred is met, on Wanna Get Away or Points, buying a $30 or $40 upgrade at the gate. It's not just the front aisles, those usually get consumed by the pre-boarders (I've seen as many as 40, and as many wheel chairs as 11, REALLY... this two has become a problem).
The more prized wing seats have become a haven for this. I was just on a flight Friday, a guy bought either a Business Select (which I doubt) or a $30/$40 bump at the gate, boarded at the end of the Business Select, and then proceeded to take Seat 12B (the two seat aisle over the wing on the port side), flipped down the trays on seats 11A, B, C, D, E, F and the adjacent to him seat, 12C. His kids (4 of them) took the entire Aisle 11, leaving the center seats empty, and his significant other took the one next to him. Anybody tried to sit in them, he instructed they were saved. ALL of his brood boarded way down the A or into the B Group. Cheap seats, no doubt. The flight had about 30 empty seats, a guy boarding way late, wanted one of the aisle seats he had held (his kid was up running around with the rest of his very large group), was told it was saved for his kid, and he ended up in "my" middle seat, which otherwise would have been unoccupied. Here I sit, $600+/- seat, with an armrest buddy and his kids are flying with no middle passenger on a $100 or so ticket. WTF, Bulltickie! THey could have ALL boarded together, regardless of their boarding group position, after the A Group and still all sat together.
There is no SWA policy regarding this, although in their boarding announcement they make the comment if your group is separated, you may move back and board with them, but they may not move up and board with you. Makes sense, another way of saying "no seat saving"!
I had a brief discussion with the Flight Attendent about this during my regular banter with them while everyone else is diddle-effing around looking for an aisle or window seat andstowing their 3 suiters. She reaffirmed, "no policy", but "write the airlines", which I will be doing.
In hindsight, and I thought about this during the flight, I should have raised hell about his inability to deal with an emergency, in the wing exit row, as he and his significant would have been more concerned about their kids than getting ALL the passengers out. Most people who take exit row seats don't realize part of their obligation is to get everyone else out first, an then themselves.
As they had boarded late enough that their luggage was all over the plane, they exited, making themselves obnoxious once again, moving the wrong way during the deplaning process while they collected their luggage from all over the plane, instead of simply waiting until everyone else was off, as they should have.
Not one to be quiet, I had quite an exchange of words with Dad, while we were being held up by the children. He was absolutely indignent.
There has been lots of discussion over the years among SWA people regarding these issues, but no one has come up with a solution.
We're sorry to learn of your disappointment. As this is a peer to peer support forum, we aren't equipped to address your concerns here, but we encourage you to contact us via the options in the link below. We hope to have the opportunity to serve your air travel needs in the near future as your patronage means the world to us.
Ignore the seat savers. If you want to sit there and a person is not in the seat.... then just sit.
The answer is a simple one.
Ignore them and sit where you want.
I also fly almost weekly and am A-List every year. I would actually take that further and say NO SAVING SEATS PERIOD.
Saving seats completely circumvents the whole concept of A, B, C boarding.
I'll add this thread as the source for a suggestion to prohibit seat saving.

Henry Warington Smyth Baden-Powell KC, FRGS (* 3. Februar 1847; † 24. April 1921) war Kronanwalt und Gründer der Seepfadfinder. Er war der älteste Bruder von Robert Baden-Powell, dem Gründer der weltweiten Pfadfinderbewegung.

Leben
Im Jahr 1857 schloss er das St Paul's College ab. Schon früh in seiner Karriere qualifizierte er sich als "Master Mariner" und wurde zum "Lieutenant" der Royal Naval Reserve berufen. Das Interesse an kleinen Booten machte ihn zum faszinierten Kanuten. 1871, im Alter von 24 Jahren, paddelte und segelte er in einem Kanu auf der Ostsee mit Zwischenstopps in Deutschland, Dänemark und Schweden. Die gesammelten Erfahrungen schrieb er in seinem Buch Canoe Travelling, erschienen 1871, nieder. Er wurde zur "Bar in Trinity" 1876 als ein "Barrister of the Inner Temple" zugelassen und später zur "Admiralty Bar". Er wurde Mitglied von mehreren wichtigen Organisationen mit dem Fokus Meer. Am 24. Dezember 1897 wurde er zum "King's Counsel" (K.C.), dem Kronanwalt, als höchstgestellter Anwalt in Großbritannien bei männlichem Souverän, ernannt.

Er wurde weiterhin in den Rat der Royal Geographical Society als "Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society" (F.R.G.S.) gewählt. Zudem hatte er eine Beteiligung in der "Shipwrights' Company", die Mitgliedschaft im "Institute of Naval Architects Council", der "Yacht Racing Association" und des "Athenaeum Club".

Seepfadfinder
Die Idee des Seepfadfindertums, als erster spezialisierter Arbeitszweig der Pfadfinderbewegung, stammt von dem zehn Jahre jüngeren Robert Baden-Powell, nachdem bereits ein Jahr nach der Gründung der allgemeinen Pfadfinderbewegung 1907 im Sommer 1908 das erste Seepfadfinderlager durchgeführt wurde. Robert fragte seinen Bruder Warington, ob er seine Idee praktisch umsetzen konnte.

Warington Baden-Powell, der selbst begeisterter Segler war und als Anwalt der britischen Admiralität arbeitete, übernahm diese Aufgabe und schon im Jahr 1910 wurde die erste offizielle Sea Scouting Organization in England gegründet. Warington Baden-Powell verfasste bald darauf das offizielle Seepfadfinder-Handbuch Sea Scouting and Seamanship for Boys. Das Handbuch verkaufte sich gut und der Arbeitszweig wuchs an.

1912 wurde der Arbeitszweig offiziell in der britischen Scout Association eingeführt, nachdem zahlreiche Seepfadfindergruppen spontan von Jugendlichen gegründet worden waren. In den folgenden Jahren entstanden weitere Gruppen auf allen Kontinenten, die sich den nationalen Pfadfinderverbänden anschlossen.

Diese Arbeit an jungen Menschen ließ ihn bis zu seinem Tod im Alter von 74 Jahren nicht los, so dass zu seiner Beisetzung unzählige Seepfadfinder erschienen.

Kanusegeln
Warington Baden-Powell war ein frühes Mitglied und Unterstützer des Royal Canoe Club, welchem er 1874 beitrat. Er entwickelte das Kanu zur speziellen Art des Segelschiffes, und in den späten 1870er nahmen Segel-Kanu an organisierten Rennen teil und erlaubten wagemutigen Anfängern für wenig Geld an einem kostenintensiven Sport der Besserverdienenden teilzunehmen. Somit gilt er als der Entwickler des Kanusegelns, deren erste Regatta 1882 in England stattfand.

Editorial: Signs of end of COVID-19 encouraging, not 'simple'
Opinion // Editorial
Express-News Editorial Board
May 18, 2021 Updated: May 18, 2021 2:29 p.m.
Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden smile and walk off after speaking about updated guidance on mask mandates. Progress in the fight against COVID abounds, but recent CDC guidance on masks is confusing.
Evan Vucci /Associated Press
Despite popular sentiment, the pandemic is not over, and we have entered a confusing time about masking and best practices.
The thought of a 100-percent-capacity Fiesta, just a month away, should make many locals smile. But should that smile be behind a mask? Only for the unvaccinated, say local leaders. This follows a shift in national guidance — a shift we find confusing for families with children who can't yet be vaccinated and potentially burdensome for businesses.
Albeit abrupt, last week's change of direction coupled with new promising data from federal and local leaders are some of many welcome signs of what could be the slow beginning of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
When President Joe Biden announced the May 13 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, "Americans who are fully vaccinated can go without masks or physical distancing in many cases, even when they are indoors or in large groups," many, including top health experts, were surprised.
Biden later tweeted, "The rule is simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours."
The problem, of course, is that it's not so simple. Masks are still required on planes, trains, buses and in hospitals. Many Americans and Texans still are not vaccinated. Some people will refuse to get vaccinated but won't wear masks; and children younger than 12 can't get vaccinated.
Bexar County Commissioner Trish DeBerry called the lifting of COVID-19 mandates for vaccinated Americans a "watershed day" during the local Friday COVID briefing. "Woohoo! It's a day of celebration," she said.
We get that sentiment — and there is much to celebrate in the metrics.
Gov. Greg Abbott reported Sunday that for the first time in 14 months, Texas went a day without recording a single COVID-19 death.
On Monday, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff reported nearly 1 million San Antonians had received at least the first dose of a vaccine, and the number of hospitalized patients on Monday fell to the lowest level in nearly a year.
Our concern is about easing public health guidance when not all Americans are eligible for vaccines. For example, children younger than 12 don't have the same choice as adults — yet Abbott has banned mask mandates in school districts effective June 4.
The new guidance came after the CDC announced providers could begin vaccinating children ages 12-15 with the Pfizer vaccine. It's also difficult for Americans to trust an honor system that asks only those who are unvaccinated to wear their masks.
Some businesses have announced they won't require masks or social distancing for vaccinated customers, but others are still requiring masks. Consider some scenarios: Customers with or without masks, but employees with masks. Vaccinated parents not wearing masks but telling their unvaccinated children to mask up. Confusing.
We also have concerns about political pressure with this decision.
On Monday, Biden defended the new guidance, providing more details in a press conference, calling the vaccination effort "historical" and touting how in less than four months, roughly 60 percent of Americans now have at least one COVID-19 vaccine.
Abrupt shift or not, confusing for families with young kids or not, here's the bottom line: People should get vaccinated. As Assistant San Antonio City Manager Colleen Bridger said Monday, those most at risk are the unvaccinated. "If you can't be vaccinated, wear a mask," she said.
And we would add, if you can get vaccinated, do it.
Once again, the pandemic is not over. On Monday, Wolff and Nirenberg reported 171 COVID hospitalizations, the lowest level in nearly a year. That's reason for optimism, but the work is not yet done.

Analysis. Conte limited himself to generalities, inviting everyone to proceed with the reforms already in Parliament and promising a great deal for everyone, without ever getting into the substance.
On opening day, Conte invites everyone to the table
written by Andrea Colombo
Topic Italy
Giuseppe Conte is taking up the appeal of the president—at least in words. He is proposing a dialogue "with all the social actors" to finalize the project of economic revival—basically in order to decide together how to spend the European aid funds.
Will this include the opposition? "Of course, it's not a slush fund at the disposal of the government that happens to be in office." The press conference of the Prime Minister on the day of the economic restart dealt mainly with the coming crisis and how to deal with it. The reopening of the regional borders, the de facto end of the lockdown, was referred to only in the first paragraph—"reassuring data, but we must remain cautious"—after which Conte moved on to the main worry of nowadays: the heavy blow that is about to strike the country in terms of impoverishment, bankrupt businesses, unemployment.
Conte limited himself to generalities, inviting everyone to proceed with the reforms already in Parliament and promising a great deal for everyone, without ever getting into the substance. The signal that he intended to send out is, after all, a political one, just as Berlusconi's letter to the Corriere della Sera, in which, in a clear break from his allies who are on a war footing, the Forza Italia leader put the ideas and support of the blue party on the table. Without fantasizing about improbable governments of national unity, but proposing a common "dialogue" for all the social and political parties—very similar, if not exactly identical, to the one that Conte is about to convene, probably as soon as next Monday, at Villa Pamphili.
There are many cracks running through Italy's system, which need to be filled by "seizing the opportunity" offered by the crisis. Conte mentioned the justice system—not for the first time—but also the reform of the public administration. He promised a deep reform of the notion of abuse of office, and suggested measures against those officials who, in order to avoid the risk of being accused of anything, simply avoid doing anything at all. In the future, they may be accused of "damages against the state."
It is certainly true that the initial controls will have to be more careful than ever. But then, the bureaucracy will have to get running again—at least as the Palazzo Chigi sees it. The prime minister had had something more to say about concrete ideas in the morning. Then, he had reiterated that the ecological transition must be central to every project, and must be "epochal in scope." In the press conference, he hinted at high-speed rail, and, when asked specifically about the Strait of Messina Bridge on which Renzi is insisting, he avoided committing to anything but did not rule it out from the start either.
It is to be hoped that the European funds will be very substantial, but the fight to get them—as the Prime Minister forewarned—will be a tough one. There is no doubt that the money will not arrive any time soon: "With President von der Leyen, we are looking for a way to get advances." However, getting her ear isn't easy at all. Italy will ask for support from the SURE fund—even a little more than the 20 billion provided for—but if we read between the lines, the Prime Minister has made it clear that a third deficit decree will probably be necessary. And what about the ESM? Here, Conte, ever the diplomat, danced around the question and entrenched himself behind his usual message: "We must see the conditions: let's remember that it is a loan."
The key topics, because of their strategic importance also on a political level, were the Atlantia affair and the relations with Carlo Bonomi and the Confindustria. On the first, Conte was clear: "The revocation [of the highway concession to Atlantia] is more than justified. To go back, we need a very advantageous proposal. Those being put forward at the moment are not." It's a question of price. Regarding Bonomi, after saying his comparison between government policies and COVID itself had been "an unhappy formulation which should be returned to the sender," the Prime Minister was just as clear: "Tax reform will be there, but companies can't just ask for less taxes." Not that anyone is doubting the primacy of profit—"we are not collectivists"—but there is also a social responsibility that companies have, as Adriano Olivetti knew well, whom Conte quoted very appropriately for the occasion. It is a matter of negotiation in this case as well.
Giorgia Meloni was the first to attack Conte's announcements: "How does he have the gall to make new promises?" while Salvini declared himself ready to challenge the government "on the Lega's proposals regarding bureaucracy and taxation." In reality, even in the soft wing of the opposition, i.e. in Forza Italia, there is more or less honest perplexity at the Prime Minister's program, consisting so far only of generalities and based essentially on promises. "It's the usual Captain Future stuff," said Bernini, the leader of the FI Senators, and what is coming from the Forza Italia headquarters is maximum distrust of Conte's real intentions. This time, however—partly because of the pressure by the President, partly because of the need to face a very difficult situation with some support from the outside—the Prime Minister's overture might not be merely a ploy.
It is no coincidence that the party from the governing coalition through which an underground but strong feeling of nervousness spread immediately was the one most hostile to any form of dialogue with the opposition: the M5S.

01 Prospects and Perspectives: Exploring the Idea of Sustainable Development
Al Lauzon
The concept of sustainable development was first popularized in the World Commission on the Environment and Development's report Our Common Future published in 1987. Since that time the concept of sustainable development has come to mean many different things to different people. In fact, some critics argue that there are so many meanings attributed to the concept of sustainable development that it has become virtually meaningless. This seminar, through exploring some of the dominant sustainable development perspectives and their associated practices, will attempt to answer the following question: is sustainable development a useful idea and can it be used to organize human activity that respects the limits of the planet while ensuring equity among the earth's peoples?
02 Games, Decisions and Economic Behaviour
How do people make decisions when faced with economic choices? How do those choices interact to produce consequences for small groups or sometimes the entire world? Economists and other social scientists have constructed theories of choice and strategic behavior, often by making simple assumptions about rationality and self-interest. Do people really behave the way such theories predict? An exciting new approach to answering such questions is through behavioral experiments. An economist, Vernon Smith, and a psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, won the 2002 Nobel Prize for pioneering work on these problems. This seminar uses simple classroom experimental games to search for answers.
Each of the games we play has been used by researchers to examine some aspect of economic behavior. By playing these games, the students themselves create data, which they can then analyze. This promotes thought about the reasons that they and their fellow students acted in a particular manner. It also permits the students to compare their behavior to the predictions of theories produced by social scientists about human behavior in a wide variety of economic situations. They can also compare their own behavior to data previously gathered by social scientists studying such behavior in different populations and contexts.
03 Why Do People Believe Weird Things?
Why do some people believe that aliens abducted them? Are the "abductees" simply fantasy-prone? Why do some people believe that the dead can communicate with the living, or that the movements of the stars influence human behaviour? Is it just "wishful thinking?" The science of psychology has good answers to these questions. Through provocative readings, lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and a field trip, you will learn how common errors in thinking and remembering can lead to beliefs in the improbable and impossible. Along the way, the methods of pranksters, pseudoscientists, and scam artists will be revealed.
04 Rags Seldom Turn to Riches
This first year interdisciplinary seminar is designed to give students an introduction to the nature of poverty in developing countries from several perspectives including: political; economic; and social. Students will explore: poverty within and between developing countries, differing opinions on why gaps exist between rich and poor nations; and whether poverty can be made history. During the semester students will complete a group study project on a particular topic (e.g. conflict, gender or environment), or a particular location (e.g. country in Africa, Asia or South America). The seminar aims to engage students in a way that will significantly enhance both students' study skills and a love for learning.
05/06 Sex, Gender and Sexuality: From Plato to Websurfers
This enquiry-based seminar provides students with the opportunity to investigate the culture, science and beliefs about sex and sexuality, spanning from ancient to modern times. We will have the opportunity to explore a variety of issues pertaining to human sexuality and come to appreciate the various social, biological and cultural influences that contribute to understanding. We will study 6-8 cases over the semester. In addition, students will be asked to choose a short article to review and provide a written report for evaluation.
07 Beyond Literacy: Are Reading and Writing Doomed?
Michael Ridley
This seminar will explore the nature of oral cultures, the transformations enabled by literacy and speculate about the concept of rich human communication beyond traditional literacy (e.g. "post-literacy") that might evolve from advances in computing, biotechnology or other, as yet unimagined, developments.
08 Freedom and Power: Four Decisive Moments in Philosophy, Politics and History
John Russon
The drama of history and the drama of ideas are mutually enlivening. The seminar will couple the study of philosophy and the study of history through consideration of four key moments in history, in which major developments in world history were inaugurated. We will learn the exciting stories of four individuals and study historical and philosophical writings pertinent to the cultural revolutions they inaugurated. (1) We will consider first the life of Siddhatta Gotama, the Buddha, and the rise of Buddhism in India around 500 BC. This will provide the context for our study of important sayings of the Buddha, and some traditional Indian philosophy. (2) We will then turn to consider Caesar's overthrow of the Roman Republic in 49 BC. This will provide the context for our study of the historical and political writings of Livy and the philosophical writings of Cicero. (3) We will turn next to Prophet Mohammad's inauguration of the religion and culture of Islam in the early 600s AD. We will study themes of history and politics from the writings of the Islamic philosopher of history Ibn Khaldun. (4) We will conclude with Vasco da Gama's establishing of the Portuguese naval trade with India, and the launch of European colonialism in Asia around 1500 AD. This will provide the context for a study of the economics and politics of modernity through the writings of John Locke and Karl Marx. This seminar will serve as an historical introduction to the discipline of philosophy, and also to philosophical reflection on a number of major events in world history. It will also offer an introduction to a number of the major philosophical, historical, and cultural themes essential to understanding the contemporary world.
09 Making a Difference in the World: Communicating Effectively for Change
Making a difference in the world, be it through innovation, advocacy, policy making, or grass roots movements is a laudable goal, but does not happen easily or come naturally to most. History provides for us examples of individuals and groups that have made a significant impact on the world - both positive and negative. While these men and women represent a range of diverse backgrounds and leadership styles, and utilized a range of tools to engage change, there are some commonalities we can readily identify. All were effective communicators. They all had a clear focus, a strong commitment, and passion. They were all confident in themselves, and possessed a strong ability to motivate others toward a common purpose. This seminar will utilize the leadership for social change framework as a means to explore the important inter-relationship between the individual, teams, and the community or society-at-large, in any change process. We will also examine the barriers to positive change.
The seminar will begin at the heart of all change initiatives with an exploration of self... what are your strengths and challenges? What do you bring to any group effort? What barriers do you encounter? How can you maximize all talents and abilities within your group to reach an outcome that is desired by all? We will cover topics such as self-awareness, the foundations of effective communication and, specifically, non-verbal, verbal, inter-cultural and group communication. We will learn about the fundamentals of team development, and strategies for collaboration, dealing with conflict, and reaching a common purpose
Weekly assignments and projects will serve as vehicles for applying the theoretical material that you are investigating. Since collaboration is critical to change, each student will be assigned to a group in the first class and will work closely and regularly with that group throughout the seminar.
10 Should We Be Told What to Eat?
Peter Purslow
We hear a lot about what we should, or should not, be eating. From health claims to factory farms, probiotics to trans-fats, production ethics to additives, there is a lot of concern about what we eat, how much we eat, and the way we produce, package and process it. Much of the concern comes from conflicting opinions and advice, partly because there are vested interests at play. In the media, food scares and health warnings are common – but then again, nothing sells like bad news. Everyone is a consumer, and the average consumer finds it difficult to find balanced and consistent information.
This seminar encourages students to examine the choices we have in the food that we buy and feed to our families and how it is produced. We will visit a local supermarket to see how marketing pressures and practices affect food choice at retail. Through interactive discussion and self-directed research, the main part of the course will examine a series of topics.
11/12 Sex, Gender and Sexuality
Dr. Alastair Summerlee
This seminar will provide a thematic approach to the investigation of the culture, science and beliefs about sex and sexuality, spanning from ancient to modern times. The seminar is intended to provide research and communication skills to be able to debate, analyze critically, and respect diversity of opinion about the arts and science of sex, gender and sexuality.
The seminar will involve the study of a series of problems which will be made available each week. There will be six to eight problems discussed during the semester and at least one special presentation in the middle of the semester.
13 How and What Will We Eat On Mars?
Mike Dixon
Extended human missions to the moon or Mars will require efficient technologies for crew life support. It is generally accepted that as mission duration increases and crews spend longer periods away from low-earth orbit, a higher degree of mission autonomy is desirable since re-supply of life support elements from Earth becomes prohibitively expensive. Bioregenerative approaches to life support can harness the contributions of higher plants, micro-organisms, fungi and perhaps insects and other animals to provide food, recycled water and air revitalization (CO2 scrubbing and O2 production). For short duration missions, air-revitalization may be accomplished with physico-chemical scrubbing of CO 2 from the atmosphere and food may be pre-packaged and shipped to crew members. For longer duration missions, the significance of the biological component of the life support system increases and the efficient recycling of gases and minerals among compartments of the bio-regenerative loop becomes essential to the sustainability of the mission.
Canada currently leads the world in research and technology development devoted to "biological life support" for humans on long duration space exploration missions. Students will be exposed to the broad scope of research activities and infrastructure at the UoG's Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility which represents Canada's main contribution to this field internationally. Discussions will focus on the technical challenges faced by space explorers and how the solutions relate to knowledge and technology transfer to Earth-based problems in issues from the environment to the economy. Students will prepare position papers and seminar presentations on relevant topics.
14 Transforming Calculus to cAlculus
Jack Weiner
Did you find your high school calculus course difficult or challenging? Does your program require Honours Calculus 1 (Math 1200)? This special First-Year Seminar was designed with you in mind. By agreeing to follow specially designed learning strategies, we believe that you can raise your calculus grade. This seminar employs technological innovations that can enhance your understanding and mastery of the material. By adopting the recommended strategies and engaging with the resources, including signing a learning contract, students will be on the road to success. The syllabus will parallel the Calculus I curriculum and the seminar will earn you a MATH*1200 equivalent credit. Access to this seminar will be dependent on your performance in Grade 12 Calculus. Instructor consent is required to add this seminar. Please contact the instructor, Jack Weiner (jweiner@uoguelph.ca ), for more information.
15 Global Perspectives--Local Opportunities for Impact
An increasingly globalized world is upon us and people in Guelph, both on campus and off, are undertaking innovative and groundbreaking work that improves lives all over the globe. This seminar examines opportunities available to students, during their time on campus and in their future careers, to make a positive contribution to the world through international development. Drawing from a variety of disciplines and guest speakers, the aim of the seminar is to introduce students to a wide variety of local options related to global engagement, through local non-profits, campus groups, academic research and professional career paths. Students will gain an understanding of the boundless local opportunities for global engagement, by examining local initiatives related to social entrepreneurship, private enterprise, academia and the non-profit sector. Through community engaged learning, collaborative student research projects will investigate a variety of models for action, allowing students to set a path of personal discovery and development that opens doors, on campus and in the community, to serve their academic and career interests.
16/17 Confronting Cultural Dilemmas
This enquiry-based seminar provides students with the opportunity to examine a variety of perplexing issues that emerge as a consequence of humans being creatures that by nature live in communities. The development of communities and cultures has meant humanity has developed images of itself, and the cultures and societies it has created, We will have the opportunity to study questions pertaining to race, ethnicity, and diversity, and to explore the boundaries of ethical frameworks, cultural toleration and human identity. The role that media, and indeed of language itself, plays in holding together or tearing apart communities, both fragile and robust, throughout history and across the world, will allow us to better understand the challenges of communication within and across cultures.

<1> Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Logan) to Point B.
Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Logan. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 31.9860, Longitude: -86.4905 [Map]. In this case, the coordinates for Logan have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<2> While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<3> The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Logan to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<4> The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 313.387 degrees.
<5> The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 308.742 degrees.
<6> The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 310.491 degrees.
<7> If we encounter the name of what might be a community, our methodology is to add that name to our Gazetteer as a placeholder. As we find more information about that community, it will be added to our Gazetteer.
Just as a reminder: Our definition of a community is rather broad and includes those places (or areas) where several families lived and had a name which identified that place. For example, you might hear somebody say that they are going over to Bird Creek to see Pete ... Bird Creek is just a gas station and a couple of homes at the crossroads. While it might not be on the map, everybody in the area knows it by that name.
Places of interest include buildings at a crossroad, several families clustered in a hollow or maybe the location of a way station. It also includes places like mines, lumber camps, ferry crossings, etc. The community might still exist, is now gone or only existed for just a short period of time.
Also keep in mind that Logan could have been on the original document by mistake, misspelled, the original/alternate name of a community that we've listed elsewhere or was placed in the wrong county. Sometimes a post office or train station would have a different name than the community where it's located, so two names might be referring to the same community - we're working to straighten it all out.
<8> We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Logan, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<9> The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments. They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help. More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com.

Jackie Wonders ENGAGEMENT SIGN-IN ALBUMS AND CHUAO CHOCOLATE WINNER!
I seriously love giving prizes away!! After reading all of the wonderful Valentine's day stories/comments, the one that caught my attention the most was from Erika Heibert's cute story!
I wish i could have given more time for this giveaway, but i really wanted to have the little goody arrive in time for V Day :) So, congrats Erika! email me your address and the delectable box of chocolates will be at your door step this week!


Bun Bo Xao, a traditional and effortless Vietnamese noodle salad, is elegantly simple to make. Carrot, cucumber, radishes, peanuts, and herbs accompany perfectly stir-fried beef and freshly cooked rice noodles for a meal that can be thrown together with little time to spare.
The secret to this flavorful dish is fish sauce, which along with lime, sugar, garlic, and a little hot pepper gives the tender beef its delicate, delicious Umami flavor.
Read David Tanis' full inspiration for Bun Bo Xao here, via the New York Times.


I make everyone feel good! How do I know? Because I can hear people even before I have seen them because of the "Awwwwwws" and cooey gooey calls and I just know they are smiling …chew the goo… and their oxytocin levels go through the roof and we start to bond. I love it, just feeling everyone around me likes me and wants to say hello. …how lucky am I?… and my confidence grows day by day.
Part of our walk today was to go in and see Christine who has been restricted in how much she can move. She used to be very active but not anymore so we headed round to give her some Ted Therapy which she absolutely loved …chew her wheel chair…chase it… I'm loving these walks.
So when we walk and he feels it's safe we'll go over and meet all sorts of dogs and today I met an Atika called Nikki who was a bit grumpy but I'm sure my puppy Jedi eyes will work on her too. Her owner Helen and and Catherine gave me the idea of "Pupdates" So I've given it paws for thought and I'm gonna use it on the site. So I'm looking forward to seeing Nikki again …chew the grumpy dog… Helen was really good and warned us and so we were able to keep a distance that made her feel safe. We puppies can handle any temperament of dog as long as we have the appropriate distance. I mean if you don't like Brussel Sprouts you don't want them shoved in your face but you can handle them if they are all the way on someone else's plate.
Angel and Sam are lovely dogs and were so well behaved that they may have inspired me to be a bit better cos he reckons I'm doing so well.
So I will continue to spread the Ted Effect, well at least while I am a puppy but he says I'll be adorable no matter old I am.

International Employee Relations Manager
http://corporate.marksandspencer.com/stories/blog/dame-kelly-holmes
I was truly delighted that Dame Kelly agreed to speak to us at our Women's Network - she definitely inspired the team with her motivational presentation, which covered the highs and lows of her career and encouraged the group to "never stop striving to be better than you were before".
Dame Kelly is now a retired middle distance athlete, having great success during her career in athletics, including winning double gold in the 2004 Athens Olympics. She won numerous awards for her achievements; including BBC's Sports Personality of the Year and was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 2005. Since retiring from athletics in 2005, Dame Kelly has since run a very successful mentoring and education programme for young athletes and led England to success by topping the medal table at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in her role as President of England.
The highlights from Dame Kelly's talk included her view that having just one person behind you telling you "you can do it" is enough to help you achieve anything. She really believes that everyone has a hidden gem and that in order to reach your full potential you need to have guides to support you along the way, but ultimately be a true believer in yourself. At M&S we place a lot of emphasis on personal development and enhancing opportunities. Just like Dame Kelly, we too recognise the importance of having the necessary support to do this and are therefore proud to run various mentoring and development programmes across our Business.
Dame Kelly lived by the mantra, "what if I", rather than "if only I", making sure she felt like she had given life everything. Dame Kelly explained that she believed in fate and trusted that what was meant to be will be. She explained that she has taken the difficulties life has thrown at her, and turned these into positives.
The part of Kelly's talk that resonated the most with me personally was her view that however big or small your goal is, you need to have determination, motivation and inspiration to achieve it, but most importantly, self-belief. Dame Kelly was an inspirational role model as an athlete, and continues to be in her role running The Dame Kelly Holmes Trust. The Trust supports athletes as they transition from sport and use their unique skills to transform the lives of disadvantaged young people through the trust's mentoring programmes.
In 2004 M&S set a clear goal to help disadvantaged people into work through our Marks & Start employability programme. We are extremely proud of this milestone, with Marks & Start having supported over 10,000 people in 10 years through training and work experience in our stores and offices. We are particularly proud of our youth employment programme, Make Your Mark, which supports disadvantaged young people to overcome barriers to get into work. We are exploring ways to work together with The Dame Kelly Holmes Trust to support more disadvantaged young people.
I launched the first women's network at M&S with the support of our Chairman Robert Swannell last year, to give my colleagues access to a range of female role models from both inside and outside the organisation. The main aim was to focus on the career challenges women face and create a forum for discussion to explore and address these.


USS Patterson was a Bagley-class destroyer laid down on July 23, 1935 and launched on May 6, 1937. It was commissioned on September 22, the same year under Lt. Comdr. Francis T. Spellman's command with the hull number DD-392 and served in the US Navy for 8 years until it was decommissioned on November 8, 1945. During its activity, the ship carried a complement of 158 people on board and had the main missions in Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Savo Island, Espiritu Santo, Tinian or Palau. For the services brought to the country during the World War II, USS Patterson received 13 battle stars.

Topwerk Group announces CEO, NA business appointments
A leader in integrated equipment systems for concrete products across a wide range of market segments, TopWerk Group has appointed Kathrin Scheffel as chief executive officer. Since 2014, she has been instrumental with the organizational development, corporate governance and strategic integration of the four separate companies comprising Burbach, Germany-based TopWerk: Hess Group, SR Schindler, Prinzing-Pfeiffer and Hess AAC.
Scheffel brings over 20 years of senior executive experience in building, engineering, and machine manufacturing, demonstrating what TopWerk officials note is a unique combination of technical expertise and strong interpersonal skills that have transformed newly acquired business units into fully integrated operations. Her career includes an appointment as managing director of Switzerland's Jenson-Group NV, an international machine manufacturer whose stock is quoted in Brussels, has a payroll of 1,200, and serves accounts in 80-plus countries. Scheffel holds a master's in engineering from a German university, and achieved her international executive MBA at University St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Concurrent with the CEO appointment, Karl-Werner Kohns was named managing director of Operations for the TopWerk Hess Group, bringing insight and perspective from more than 20 years with Hess peer, Masa AG/GmbH, where he most recently served as managing director. He oversaw development and standardization of efficient production plants throughout the world, most notably in the North American market.

Q: find the canonical form of the hyperbolic PDE $a(x, y)u_{xx} + 2b(x, y)u_{xy} + c(x, y)u_{yy} + F(x, y,u,u_x,u_y)= 0$ So the question is trying to transform in the hyperbolic case, the PDE
$$a(x, y)u_{xx} + 2b(x, y)u_{xy} + c(x, y)u_{yy} + F(x, y,u,u_x,u_y)= 0$$
can be transformed to the normal form
$$\widetilde{u}_{ξ\eta} + {\Psi}(ξ, \eta , \widetilde{u}, \widetilde{u}_ξ,\widetilde{u}_η)$$
I know the steps I need to follow for this. However I don't know how to apply certain ones. For instance what does F represent in this case. Where would it fall in the general second order PDE. For example, here A = a, B = 2b, and C = 1. Am I on the right track? I just need to know what each constant is and how to deal with F and I can move forward from there.
Thanks for the help.

the float is this extra $3,000 that comes in immediately. No other cash flows are affected, so Lambo is $3,000 richer.
In other words, the PV of eliminating the float is simply equal to the total float. Lambo could pay this amount out as a dividend, invest it in interest-bearing assets, or do anything else with it. If it costs $2,000 to eliminate the float, then the NPV is $3,000 -2,000 = $1,000; so Lambo should do it.
-:—' Instead of eliminating the float, suppose Lambo can reduce it to one day. What is the maximum Lambo should be willing to pay for this?
If Lambo can reduce the float from three days to one day, then the amount of the float will fall from $3,000 to $1,000. From our discussion immediately preceding, we see right away that the PV of doing this is just equal to the $2,000 float reduction. Lambo should thus be willing to pay up to $2,000.
$175 per year, payable at the end of each year. The relevant discount rate is 8 percent. Should Lambo hire the bank? What is the NPV of the investment? How do you interpret this discount rate? What is the most per year that Lambo should be willing to pay?
The PV to Lambo is still $2,000. The $175 would have to be paid out every year forever to maintain the float reduction; so the cost is perpetual, and its PV is $175/.08 = $2,187.50. The NPV is $2,000 - 2,187.50 = -$187.50; therefore, the service is not a good deal.
Ignoring the possibility of bounced checks, the discount rate here corresponds most closely to the cost of short-term borrowing. The reason is that Lambo could borrow $1,000 from the bank every time a check was deposited and pay it back three days later. The cost would be the interest that Lambo would have to pay.
The most Lambo would be willing to pay is whatever charge results in an NPV of zero. This zero NPV occurs when the $2,000 benefit exactly equals the PV of the costs, that is, when $2,000 = C/.08, where C is the annual cost. Solving for C, we find that C = .08 x $2,000 = $160 per year.
collected cash as a source of funds for short-term investing. Most banks charge a penalty rate for the use of uncollected funds. However, banks may not have good enough accounting and control procedures to be fully aware of the use of uncollected funds. This raises some ethical and legal questions for the firm.
For example, in May 1985, Robert Fomon, chairman of E. F. Hutton (a large investment bank), pleaded guilty to 2,000 charges of mail and wire fraud in connection with a scheme the firm had operated from 1980 to 1982. E. F. Hutton employees had written checks totaling hundreds of millions of dollars against uncollected cash. The proceeds had then been invested in short-term money market assets. This type of systematic overdraft-ing of accounts (or check kiting, as it is sometimes called) is neither legal nor ethical and is apparently not a widespread practice among corporations. Also, the particular inefficiencies in the banking system that Hutton was exploiting have been largely eliminated.
For its part, E. F. Hutton paid a $2 million fine, reimbursed the government (the U.S. Department of Justice) $750,000, and reserved an additional $8 million for restitution to defrauded banks. We should note that the key issue in the case against Hutton was not its float management per se, but, rather, its practice of writing checks for no economic reason other than to exploit float.
Despite the stiff penalties for check kiting, the practice apparently continues to go on. For example, in April 2001, a contractor near Chicago was sentenced to more than three years in prison and ordered to pay restitution of $1.1 million for engaging in a 15-month check-kiting scheme that cost two Chicago-area banks more than $2.4 million.

- Moved max hit dummies closer to tournament lobby banks.
- Hits during obelisk teleport are now delayed instead of not showing up at all.
- A bug where players would become invisible for 2-4 secs after teleporting during obelisk has been fixed.
- Vote, Donator and minigame items can not be put into lottery until prizes stabilise.
THANKS AND A LOT MORE TO COME!!!
@Gretar Proud of u, kind regards the rich boat millionare.
Coming within few days I think!
Time to find another bug I guess.
Really nice interface and I appreciate the work but those are store prices not market prices (as in player trades), eg. AGS is showing 5k when it's like 4 - 4.5k though?
I notice that ::prices doesn't load up the forum price guide anymore, could have put a button on the interface to link to it because it's more accurate, or use those prices for the new price interface.
Anyway, on a related point, I suggest just add a trading post/grand exchange because it makes buying/selling easier and you can PK at same time, players can use it as a price guide too because they can see what items are selling for.
very nice! great job on the update !
