September has been full of creative highs here at Kaptcha. From the creation of Roll-E, our mischievous office chair on a mission, filming a bunch of Diversity & Inclusion pieces, as well as a new series for the Great Minds channel.
We have been working alongside Korean educational channel EBS, for their show 'Great Minds'.
Recently we interviewed neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow at the Ironmongers Hall, where she discussed how much of our future selves are determined by inherent cognitive functioning. Hannah's talk explored whether we could outsmart our own DNA. She was an absolute joy to work with.
It was a great honour and privilege to also film Richard Dawkins for his episode on the channel, unpicking his perspective on the Theory of Evolution.
The set for this shoot was in a 17th Century Manor House in Oxford, which we staged with props as well as using two large lighting units to give us consistent lighting levels. Lighting plays a subliminal role in communicating the mood, the atmosphere and aiding storytelling.
In each episode, we cut between five separate camera shots, providing different perspectives, and picking up on details like hand gestures, body movements and facial expressions. Seamlessly cutting between these angles allows the viewer to engage with the body language and mood of the speaker.
Conservationist Ian Redmond was an inspiringly passionate speaker, and the close-ups allowed his passion for conservation to shine through. This approach to a basic interview allowed us to communicate Ian's infectious energy to the audience in a visual way.
The team at Great Minds were a delight to work with. Feel free to subscribe to their YouTube channel for more content.
We love to receive feedback on our offering here at Kaptcha. It provides guidance and reassurance on what works for our clients and highlights the strengths within our team. Below are some testimonials shared from a handful of our clients.

This month has flown by! They say time flies when you're having fun and we certainly have had an enjoyable time here at Kaptcha.
August has been full of action, heading up into the sky on a hot air balloon with Legal & General Workplace Pensions, to launching into space with BAE Systems. The Space project is an awareness brand video for BAE Systems venture into space.
We were approached by BAE Systems Digital Intelligence to come up with a concept that could deliver all the touch points and cover a list of items without feeling too corporate. In allowing us some creativity, the resulting film has mesmerising visuals where BAE's leaders seamlessly explore space while sharing their intelligence on how capability in space can present as an opportunity with benefits to mankind as well as a defence necessity. Aiding us to build a better, safer world for the next generation.
In the production of this film we overlayed graphics, for this to happen we filmed in a blacked-out studio. Our Creative team produced a storyboard in order to plan every shot precisely, so our contributor's interaction with the graphical elements looked authentic.
In sync with the graphics, we replicated the light in the studio, passing various light sources across our contributors' eyeline to mimic the passing of planets or the illumination of virtual holographic screens we used to present footage shot at BAE's In-Space missions HQ.
Take a look at our BTS below to see the Kaptcha crew at work:
Following on from this, we also created an animation highlighting BAE's capability in the aerospace arena. Watch the film below:
As September approaches, we are looking forward and planning Kaptcha's next steps as a growing agency. We are welcoming a new face to the Kaptcha team, Chris Newcombe (pictured below), our Sales Director who will be joining the team from mid-September, and we can't wait to see what exciting new projects he brings to our table!
We are proud to announce the re-launch of our YouTube channel!
Over the past week, we've been busy giving our YouTube channel a makeover, pulling together our favourite case studies, gathering testimonials and even creating some of our own content internally (stay tuned to find out more).
Our Vimeo channel has also been updated. Check out some of our recent content.
We have some great projects currently in the works and can't wait to share these with you next month. Please do drop us an email if there are any projects you'd like to discuss.
Here at the Kaptcha HQ we have been busy doing what we do best, making films, animations and executing live events. In this July 22 instalment of Kaptcha's Client Newsletter we wanted to share three of our inspiring client films.
The last few months have been full of change and development. We have ventured into the Welsh Valleys with Legal & General, into the depths of Piccadilly with Fortnum & Mason and up into space with BAE Systems. Simultaneously we are undergoing some exciting changes internally.
We will be introducing a new team member shortly. We are currently on the hunt for a new Marketing & Sales Director to help with our steady growth here at Kaptcha.
Our very own Alice Thomson will also be returning imminently from her travels to work full time for Kaptcha. We look forward to having her back on our team and onboarding her onto some current as well as upcoming projects.
Take a look at some of our recent projects below:
Fortnum & Masons' Manifesto film was a beautiful project. The film set out to deliver their manifesto for the new quarter directly from their employees, to their employees. The film was broadcast at their Spring Breakfast event which we also helped livestream internationally.
Alongside our clients we transformed one of their meeting rooms into a fabulous studio using white coloramas. Our creative team with the help of Fortnum's' dressed the set with hampers full of all sorts of immaculately packaged treats.
We had around fourteen employees take part in the film, which was met with an amazing reception during the Spring Breakfast event. Fortnum & Masons' really do make joy!
BAE Systems – PMA Network Rail has been one of the many rewarding animations we have worked on recently. The amazing technology BAE Systems designs helps to digitalise many mundane jobs that previously took up thousands of working hours. Instead of computers replacing the role of people, this technology is actually freeing up employees to spend more time working on areas that count. Ensuring our railways are functioning in a safe and timely manner.
At Kaptcha we love working on animations as there really are no barriers when it comes to creativity. Technology makes the unthinkable possible, visually. We enjoy coming up with creative concepts that visualise and simplify often complex key messages.
Legal & General – Retirementors was another one of those projects that is just a joy to work on. At Kaptcha we love to tell stories of how businesses such as L&G are making a difference. It's stories such as these that allow big companies to connect emotionally with their audience.
Stories like this also allow your employees to see the real world benefit their work is having on real people. This helps boost employee belief in your brand as well as helping people find purpose in their day to day work.
It was a joy to film with Legal & General customer Robert, whose humour and enthusiasm was completely infectious. We really hope this comes across in the film.
As always we want to say a huge thank you to our wonderful clients. We appreciate your constant support and look forward to seeing what the remainder of this year brings. Without you we would not be here.
If you have any upcoming projects you would like to discuss please fire Richard Thomson an email. We would love to catch up and discuss bringing your next big idea to life!

Articulating your company's response to the challenge of our lifetimes.
What story do you want to tell about the climate challenge?
We all recognise that it is time for action on climate change. With Glasgow hosting COP26, Britain has got the world's attention: as a nation, we are committed to playing our part in driving down emissions.
And businesses are a powerful force in redressing the balance. UK plc can already tell stories of true transformation, and many companies have put sustainability at the heart of their operations.
Engaging, well-told stories of innovative thinking and committed action will hold great power with customers and talent alike.
At Kaptcha, we produce films for highly respected companies which bring their purpose to life. More than ever, that purpose now includes a response to the climate challenge.
Take a look at the film below, to see how we helped Legal & General communicate their message with integrity, sensitivity and commitment.
The L&G story.
"The investments we make are not just good for us, but the world. And that's a promise."
Over the coming decade, protecting the planet will not just be a corporate priority, it will demand careful communication.
Businesses must show genuine commitment to the road to Net Zero. They must present a way forward which consumers can believe in. They must differentiate from competitors, and give comfort to those finding change painful.
Our film for Legal & General is mindful of all these issues. Our script aligns pensions and the environment: they are both long-term concerns, and we show that L&G takes its role as custodian seriously, whether for its customers' money, or for their futures.
And our screenplay makes "thinking about the future" an intensely personal story, showing that the effort we all make to protect the planet, as individuals or as corporate giants, is felt by every customer.
Why purpose?
Navigate for the long term
An extraordinary 100% of CEOs – up from under 40% in 2019 – agree that other stakeholder groups are more important than shareholders.
CEOs report that finding the right people will be their #1 challenge in the next five years. 77% of Millennials consider a company's culture – including its approach to sustainability – before making an application.
Thrive with technology
CEOs continue to see technology as the most productive area for value creation. Purpose-led CEOs are twice as likely to feel they have created value through technology.
Grow in challenging times
CEOs with a clearly-defined purpose are 5-% more likely to feel that they have created new value through expansion or acquisition.
Statistics from BrandPie 2020 CEO Purpose Report.
We meet the people. We capture the moment. And we tell the story, with expertise, passion and integrity.
Because we think that what motivates you and your team to get out of bed every morning is going to be interesting to a world of other people, too. Those are the stories we tell.

Directions ( 1-5): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
It has already a dealership in Mumbai, the financial capital, and Delhi, the political capital. At a price tag of over Rs. 1 Crore. Who will buy a Lamborghini car? Rather, what gives the Italian car maker the confidence to not only drive into India but also expand its presence? The choice of its location for dealership gives a clue or two to its game plan, and also an insight into its prospective customer profile. While dealership in Mumbai and Delhi are understandable considering the wealth and power that reside in these two metros, the choice of Bengaluru to locate it new dealership indicates that the Italian company is betting big on the neo rich who have sprouted in big numbers in the wake of an unprecedented growth experienced by this city. If super - luxury brand like Lamborghini is sensing an unfolding big opportunity in a New India, other traditional global luxury car makers have turned very ambitious with new launches. Despite high import duty barriers, global luxury car markers continue to believe that roll out new models and ramp up dealership in a bid to sustain the appetite of India's super rich for expensive cars is only likely to grow. After the launch of BMW M5, priced at Rs. 1.35 crore its german rival Mercedes - Benz launched next - generation C- Class, priced at Rs. 40.9 lakh in New Delhi. The C- Class is one of the most successful products of Merc in India. It has so far sold over 20,000 units C- class in India. Till date, Lamborghini had sold around 94 sports cars in the country. It said the high import duty would impact the company's sales in India, and 2014 might see a lower volume. In 2013, it sold around 22 super - luxury sports cars in India. "The import duty in India is higher than many other counties. We want to sell more cars in the country but the import duty in India is high as much as 167 percent. This huge import tax will impact the sales of the super cars in the country," said Automobili Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelman. Apart from the high import duty, the late launch of its new model Huracan into India market was another reason for lower sales this year. The company expects to improve the sales next year. Lamborghini is also considering the possibility of launching its SUV in India by 2018. In April 2012 the company showcased its concept SUV at the Beijing Auto Show.
1. Which of the following rationale explains the curtailing of Lamborghini car trade in India?
(A) The price figure ranges over one crore.
2. What kind of strategy is mentioned in the passage about the car selling geographical factor?
1. Launching a new model every six months will give lots of choices to buyers.
2. Competitive environment leads to better designing of Lamborghini cars.
3. Seeking out well - heeled people who have enormously emerged in Bengaluru.
4. Mumbai and Delhi are having many rich people, so it was easy for the company to launch their car first here.
3. Which of the following statements is true according to the given passage?
1. Lamborghini in the only company to flourish better in India when it comes to car sales.
3. Lamborghini proliferates augmentation in India.
4. Mercedes- Benz is an adherent of Lamborghini.
4. According to the passage what makes the company think that their sales will grow in the country?
(A) The ability of afford high import duties by Indians who are living in rich metropolitan areas.
(B) The inclination of moneyed people towards sports car will potentially grow.
(C) The luxury car is a stipulated requirement or thriving people as it has been seen in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
5. What can be concluded from the passage about the buyers and sellers of Lamborghini cars?
(A) People in India have a good preference and knowledge about the Lamborghini car.
(B) Buyers are afar of sellers in India, therefore new metropolitan city was opted to launch a new dealership.
(C) Regarding car sales competitive environment is ubiquitous in India.
2. Seeking out well - heeled people who have enormously emerged in Bengaluru.

First of all, it's not just genes that affect intelligence. It's strongly affected by environment as well as by genetics, and the two of them interact. And the stimulating environment in infancy is certainly important in influencing intelligence. But there do appear to be genes that determine intelligence, but searches for specific ones have not yet come up with very much.
In fact only recently, the first such gene was identified and it just has a small effect on IQ. If you have a particular version of this gene, it increases IQ by about 1.3 points which really isn't very much. And this gene is a gene that's generally in the nucleus to operate on expression of other genes and it seems to affect the size of the brain. So that may be why it's affecting IQ.
Otherwise, we might expect there'll be other such genes which contribute in a rather general way to brain development or to brain function, and there may again be some variance of them which allow for more effect to development to the circuits which integrates and interpret experience within the brain.
In addition to general intelligence as it were, there will also be genes that contribute to specific learning disabilities and there's been some progress in finding some of those recently, and there are some genes which seem to influence the chance of developing dyslexia and also other psychological conditions such as autism.
There are genes that influence the chances of developing those and those tend to be rather rare variance of genes which affects just a few people, but seem to predispose to those conditions in those people.
Next Genes just for the brain?


In recent weeks, the LPGA has also introduced new marketing partnerships with Korean golf ball-maker, Volvik, and derivatives and futures exchange company, CME Group.

In March, the LPGA announced that CME Group (CME) had signed a three-year agreement to title sponsor the season-ending Titleholders tournament. The inaugural CME Group Titleholders will serve as the LPGA Tour's season finale. Watch the interview below with CME Group Executive Chairman, Terry Duffy, to learn more what the draw was for CME.


Bathroom stalkings are the worst.
Oh my gosh! I love Paula! Too funny!
Clever..how many takes did it take?
OH! Thats why he never returned my manuscript.
LOL! I wonder do people actually do that???
Only Paula! She should be in front of Hollywood's cameras instead of behind the scenes writing scripts!
Makes me have to pee!
Hahaha thanks for taking the time to do this! It was awesome.
Glad you all like it - and Booktoo, it was one take! Paula and Arthur - one take wonders!
Hi Lee, After my "more gentle" guest blog about stalking and other conference tips, I would have loved to watch this being filmed.
You're a hoot! I'm glad I got the chance to meet you at the conference.
Agent in next stall: "Hey, just checking to make sure everything is coming out okay."
Agent in next stall: "Do you want me to come over there?"
Editor: "You just stay right where you are and mind your own business!"
Agent: "Hey (name of famous author) I'm going to have to call you back. Some guy here thinks I'm talking to him."
I love how he's whistling "Some day my prince will come."


If you rent a property, you know all too well the stress of trying to protect your building when you're not actually in it. While landlord insurance can bring peace of mind, it will only come in handy if you have the right cover.
There's a lot of information about landlord insurance out there, and the important bits can often get buried in all the noise. So we've put together some of the most common myths about landlord insurance, to help you better protect your investment.
Although they shouldn't be yours to worry about, damage to your tenants' contents could end up being your problem. For example, if your house caught fire and burned your tenants' contents, you may be the one left to clean up the mess, as your landlord insurance may not cover the cost of removing the debris since the items damaged were not your property. For this reason, it's worth encouraging your tenants to take out contents insurance, or only accepting applicatons from those who are willing to do so. While this process may limit your prospects, the ones you do attract are more likely to help safe guard your property.
As is the case with standard home insurance, it's dangerous to assume that your property is covered while vacant for an extended period of time. Some insurers may impose restrictions on how long the property can be unoccupied for while still receiving cover. It is therefore a good idea to ensure your tenants notify you of any extended holidays so you can check if your landlord insurance still covers your property while they're gone.
Keep these situations in mind when comparing landlord insurance to ensure you're getting the best possible cover.
There's no guarantee that your property will remain safe and sound while renting it out, but landlord insurance can at least give peace of mind that you'll be looked after if things go wrong. If you're looking for the right policy for you and your investment, start a quote with us to see how much you could save with Youi Landlord Insurance.

PUTRAJAYA - The annual Inter-Varsity Sports Festival organised by Putera MIC aims to discover future international sports talents from the Indian community.
"MIC has strived to provide many platforms for the Indian community, especially the youths, to excel in sports," Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk M. Saravanan told a press conference here yesterday.
"We are always asked if we can produce international-level athletes.
"We have the opportunities and the platforms, but it cannot happen overnight. It is a long-term process," he added.
Saravanan said the Malaysian Indian Sports Council-Malaysian Indian Football Association football club is an example of MIC's continuous efforts in promoting sports among Indian youths.
The association currently competes in the third-tier Football Association of Malaysia league.
The 2018 Inter-Varsity Sports Festival, which is in its second year, begins today at Universiti Putra Malaysia and ends on Saturday.
More than 1,000 Indian students from over 30 public and private higher learning institutes are expected to take part.
The event will also feature a townhall session tonight, where Deputy Education Minister Datuk P. Kamalanathan will take questions from youths on various topics.
The opening ceremony will be attended by Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin and Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam, who is also MIC president.


It seems that ever since I have updated my JDK to 1.4.2 on Mac OS 10.3.2, I am having an odd problem with Compile or Build Messages. I can compile, run Ant, or build a project once, and the messages appear fine, indicating errors, warnings, and info properly. If I then try to run any job that has message output, it runs fine, but the messages all apear as blank lines, with a "white page" icon for each line. The correct number of blank lines show up, but just a lack of any useful information.
The only other item I can think of recently changing that could have any effect on the application was I did an archive install of the OS.
I've attached screen shots of what I am seeing.
I've seen similiar visual artifacts in pre-10.3 and pre-1.4.2 situations. At first I thought it might be a aqua/non-aqua L&F thing but that didn't seem to help. At some point they went away but I can't recall what I did or changed to make it stop.


Undertaking an evidence synthesis on the interactions between the health/wellbeing 'nexus', conservation actions and marine management, drawing on peer reviewed literature and published reports. This will utilise the Nature and People Evidence data portal to identify relevant research by biome and by region, as well as evidence available within countries in local languages.
Performing critical analysis of the application of different models of marine planning in developing country and Biosphere Reserve contexts. This will consider how marine planning can add value to existing investments in governance, management and planning approaches, as well as supporting future trends and aspirations.
Synthesis of local and regional knowledge on current impacts of climate change, resource use and environmental degradation on E/SE Asian marine ecosystems, and the goods and services they provide to the local communities. This included the less well-recognised services (e.g. regulating services) that will be important to understand for the less tangible aspect of well-being. This project will also identify data and modelling gaps and collect new data, as required.
Assessing the technical constraints and opportunities for small-scale marine renewable energy developments, taking advantage of the strong currents and large tidal ranges in the region, to provide low carbon electricity potential for remote communities, supported by social, economic, environmental and health impact assessments.
Examining how traditional cultural and local social institutions are being mobilised in the context of small-scale coastal tuna fisheries management. By using marine planning, the potential of zoning off archipelagic waters entirely as a "small scale fishing only" zone will be investigated through collation and analysis of relevant social and economic evidence, including potential of local fishworker associations and/or customary bodies to have a stake in effort allocations via "community quotas".
Assessment of the well-being benefits (e.g. reduced air pollution, fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression, greater levels of physical exercise, and stronger senses of community) and risks of coastal living associated with environmental change (e.g. land/water use, water salinity), demographic change (e.g. inward migration, changing age profiles) and climate change. Pilot integrated marine conservation-community health programmes will be co-designed, implemented and evaluated using stakeholder focus groups, individual interviews and large scale surveys.
Using Earth observation approaches for cost-effective monitoring of habitats and resource use. This will support management of these habitats by illustrating temporal trends and help develop a novel approach to the monitoring of aquaculture installations, through the identification of suitable locations and providing an early warning system for harmful algal blooms to protect livelihoods and human health.
Developing the use of Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGMs) as decision support tools that provide spatially explicit representations of the ecosystem service trade-offs associated with different marine resource management options. The PGMs have the advantage that they can be built using existing data and models or in the absence of these, expert opinion. The PGMs will be linked to a Geographical Information System (GIS) to provide visual outputs that facilitate communication of the trade-offs to resource management practitioners and decision makers.
Co-designing with stakeholders generic principles and approaches to making the hard political and ethical decisions about acceptable trade-offs in Development Assistance Committee (DAC) contexts. These principles will take account of international protocols and policy on basic needs, human rights and social justice, as well as national priorities on development, food security and public health alongside local culture, issues and sensitivities.
Model development and application to forecast the long-term productive capacity of marine fisheries under climate and fisheries management scenarios, based on downscaling a global climate model, projecting high-resolution changes in physical and biochemical ocean properties, and eventually projecting fish production and catch potential under different fishing mortality targets. These can then be linked to economic models to assess opportunities and threats to future fisheries income.
Provision of adaptive, climate-ready ecosystem level policy and management options. Areas where marine ecosystems exhibit resilience to modelled pressures (e.g. climate change impact, fisheries, land run-off) will be identified, and vulnerabilities estimated in a spatially-explicit manner. Human activities, such as marine renewable energy or tourism expansion, and marine protected areas can then be co-mapped to inform spatial strategies for marine use that minimize potential human exacerbation of environmental degradation.
Developing alternative scenarios that integrate climate, ecological and social data and using these scenarios to explore solutions to current and projected development and planning challenges. These outputs will be used to support the visualisation of scenarios, which will be validated with stakeholders.

Carver State Bank is a Black-operated 1927-founded bank that operates in Georgia.

History
The multi-branch banks's headquarters are in Savannah It was founded February 23, 1927 by Savannah-born Louis B. Toomer as Georgia Savings and Realty Corp.

On April 29, 1947 it became a state-supervised bank (with FDIC-insured effective June 1, 1947)), and their name was changed to Carver Savings Bank. In 1962, when Carver "Carver became a full-service commercial bank offering checking accounts" it assumed its present name: Carver State Bank. Like
Carver Federal Savings Bank, to which it is not connected, it is named after George Washington Carver. Carver, like New York-based Carver Federal Savings Bank, "is among the roughly 1,000 government-recognized Community Development Financial Institutions dedicated to economically underserved areas." As a CDFI, Carver is eligible for New Market Tax Credits.

The 3 Toadstools : Halfway to layout city and goodies!
Alright, so we have basically finished editing "the return of the blue baron" ie volume 2. I had originally named it "part deux", but figured that might confuse a few people. Note that there is the Queen's English in the document however, examples include "Armour". In those instances you should know that a Canadian may have written that section.
As we were doing some editing we were also doing some last minute writing. I am almost positive that there maybe a few little rewrites happen while I work on the layout.
I've sent off a copy to Michael at Dreamscape Design, to basically rules lawyer it. I mean he's the guy who wrote the blueholme rules, so it's our best bet to get it right!
I would like to thank Scott Charlton for majorly stepping up to the plate and basically editing more than half of this! As well for coming to the table with a lot of rooms, ideas and the general concept. If it wasn't for him, this would not have been done. at all.
Here's a screen shot of the cover.
Yesterday, I had a crap day. Then I got home, and I had more crap to deal with. It was just one of those days. I finally walked to the front and opened up the mailbox and to my absolutely surprise, I found a package waiting for me!
This wonderful person, sent me a copy of Whitebox FMAG and Swords & Wizardry Continual Light!
Thank you very much wonderful person! That made my day.
I will be doing a review of SWCL in the next week or so. I'm sure both of these books will find room at my table. Thank you again!

As now i understood the stupidity of conventioanal plans from LIC, i want to close my Jeevan Anand policy. I have put 6 installments of Rs.24907 into it. My agent told me I would get around Rs.1 Lakh if I choose to surrender the policy. Recently, I have bought a term plan from Kotak (sum assured 30 Lakhs). How will it affect when DTC comes into picture?
Should I go ahead with LIC policy closure and invest the amount in NSC/PPF/MFs for long term.
my sum assured is Rs 5 Lakhs and my premium is Rs.24907. That means is will not be eligible for tax deduction after DTC. What do u recommend. Shld I put in NSC every year of Rs.25000 or PPF of rs.25000?
Also can i also explore the option of putting into diversified MF or should stick to PPF/NSC.
Dear Anand, the prem. paid by you for your Kotak term plan 'll remain eligible for tax benefit in DTC too. For Jeevan Anand, it may not be if the yly prem. not more than 5% of sum assured kept as it is.
If you opt to surrender your Jeevan Anand policy now & invest the amount in a simple product like PPF or NSC, the final maturity amount 'll be more than what you 'll get in this policy.

    cell.containerView.frame =  CGRect(x: self.view.frame.size.width - 100, y:200, width: 225, height: 70)
    cell.containerView.center.x = self.view.frame.size.width - 100
    cell.containerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
    cell.containerView.layer.cornerRadius = 20
    let gesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(wasDragged(gestureRecognizer:)))
    cell.containerView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
    cell.containerView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    gesture.delegate = self
    return cell
}

and this is my drag function:
func wasDragged(gestureRecognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {

    print("wassss dragggggeeed")
    if gestureRecognizer.state == .began || gestureRecognizer.state == .changed {
        let translation = gestureRecognizer.translation(in: self.view)
        print(gestureRecognizer.view!.center.x)
        let newx = gestureRecognizer.view!.center.x + translation.x

        if(newx <= self.view.frame.width + 50) && (newx >= self.view.frame.width - 100) {
            gestureRecognizer.view!.center = CGPoint(x: newx, y:  gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y)
        }else if (newx > self.view.frame.width + 50){
            gestureRecognizer.view!.center = CGPoint(x: self.view.frame.width + 50, y: gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y)
        }else if (newx < self.view.frame.width - 100){
            gestureRecognizer.view!.center = CGPoint(x: self.view.frame.width - 100, y: gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y)
        }

        gestureRecognizer.setTranslation(CGPoint(x: 0,y: 0), in: self.view)
    }
}

I want each containerView in each cell to be independent of the other. Any help? Thanks!

A: Try replacing this code in cellForRowAt method
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CellIdentifier", for: indexPath) as! TestTableViewCell

    cell.containerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
    let gesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(wasDragged(gestureRecognizer:)))
    cell.containerView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
    cell.containerView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

    return cell
}

and in wasDragged(gestureRecognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) method
func wasDragged(gestureRecognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {

    let gestureView = gestureRecognizer.view!
    let translation = gestureRecognizer.translation(in: self.view)

    // manage translation as per your requirement
    let newx = gestureRecognizer.view!.center.x + translation.x/10

    if gestureRecognizer.state == .changed {
        // while dragging
        if newx < view.frame.size.width && newx >= view.frame.size.width/2 {
            gestureView.center = CGPoint(x: newx, y:  gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y)
        }
    } else if gestureRecognizer.state == .ended {
        // when dragging ends
        if newx >= view.frame.size.width {
            gestureView.center = CGPoint(x: view.frame.size.width, y:  gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y)
        } else {
            gestureView.center = CGPoint(x: view.frame.size.width/2, y:  gestureRecognizer.view!.center.y)
        }
    }
}

I received this spectacular variety from a friend in Europe. One of the best-tasting tomatoes I have ever grown, period!
Large, pink heart-shaped fruit that average about 12 oz., although I had numerous fruit approaching 1.5 pounds. Excellent sweet flavor, quite meaty, with few seeds. Not much juice; just meat!!

, provisionally known as , is a stony, walnut-shaped asteroid and fast rotator, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group, approximately 300 meters in diameter. It was discovered on 25 October 2011, by Pan-STARRS at Haleakala Observatory on the island of Maui, Hawaii, in the United States.

Orbital description

 orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.0–2.2 AU once every 2 years and 1 month (753 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.38 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic. Its observation arc begins with its official discovery observation by Pan-STARRS, as no precoveries were taken, and no prior identifications were made.

Close approach

The asteroid has an Earth minimum orbit intersection distance of , which corresponds to 0.8 lunar distances (LD). On 19 July 2015, it passed about 2.5 million kilometers from Earth (6.5 LD), attracting the interest of astronomers. The asteroid was listed as level 1 in the Torino Scale on 4 November 2011, 9 days after its discovery, but was removed two weeks later.

Physical characteristics

Spectral type

 is an assumed stony S-type asteroid, the most common type among the populations of near-Earth and inner main-belt asteroids.

Diameter and albedo

Bruce Gary at Hereford Arizona Observatory () estimated a mean-diameter of 220 meters with a high albedo of 0.39, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroid of 0.20 and calculates a mean-diameter of 311 meters based on an absolute magnitude of 19.9.

Fast rotator

In July and August 2015, rotational lightcurves of this asteroid were obtained from photometric observations by Bruce Gary at Hereford Arizona Observatory and by Brian Warner at the CS3–Palmer Divide Station in California (). Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 0.6107 hours (36.6 minutes) with a brightness variation between 0.52 and 2.05 magnitude (). This makes  one of the Top 200 fast rotator, suggesting it is a large boulder rather than a rubble pile.

Shape

Radar observations by the Arecibo Observatory on 14 July 2015, revealed that the asteroid's shape looks like an unshelled walnut with a diameter of 300 by 600 metres. The radiometric observations also agreed with the previously
obtained photometric ones and gave a period of 37 minutes.

Media attention

It also attracted the media and even firms such as Planetary Resources for its alleged content of platinum worth as high as 5 trillion U.S. dollars. Commenters at StackExchange have denied these estimations as being "orders of magnitude too high", and radar observations have shown that the object contains no more metal than an average rocky asteroid.

Q: How to get tweets with coordinates using twython I'm trying to get tweets here is the geo code
    twitter = Twython(app_key, app_secret, oauth_token, oauth_token_secret)

searches = twitter.search_geo(q=keywords, lat = '25.032341', long = '55.385557', count=1, rad = '100mi')
print (searches)

getting results not getting tweets
{'query': {'type': 'search', 'url': 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/search.json?lat=25.032341&long=55.385557&rad=100mi&q=++-RT&count=1', 'params': {'coordinates': {'type': 'Point', 'coordinates': [55.385557, 25.032341]}, 'trim_place': False, 'query': '', 'autocomplete': False, 'granularity': 'neighborhood', 'accuracy': 0.0}}, 'result': {'places': [{'name': 'Dubai', 'contained_within': [{'name': 'United Arab Emirates', 'place_type': 'country', 'bounding_box': {'type': 'Polygon', 'coordinates': [[[51.2938738, 22.6261387], [51.2938738, 26.2823697], [56.3816989, 26.2823697], [56.3816989, 22.6261387], [51.2938738, 22.6261387]]]}, 'full_name': 'United Arab Emirates', 'centroid': [55.147370403855, 24.3556033], 'country': 'United Arab Emirates', 'country_code': 'AE', 'attributes': {}, 'url': 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/id/3f63906fc8aa5a7d.json', 'id': '3f63906fc8aa5a7d'}], 'place_type': 'admin', 'bounding_box': {'type': 'Polygon', 'coordinates': [[[54.8939725, 24.6182526], [54.8939725, 25.3686719], [56.2083722, 25.3686719], [56.2083722, 2

Can any one help how I can separate tweets

A: In Twython, the method search_geo is used to find place_id for 'places' that are within radius of the provided geolocation.  You need to use the search method like so:
from twython import Twython, TwythonError

app_key = 'your_app_key'
app_secret = 'your_app_secret'
oauth_token = 'your_oauth_tokem'
oauth_token_secret = 'your_oauth_secret'

twitter = Twython(app_key, app_secret, oauth_token, oauth_token_secret)

geocode = '25.032341,55.385557,100mi' # latitude,longitude,distance(mi/km)

try:
    searches = twitter.search(count=1, geocode=geocode)
    print(searches)
except TwythonError as e:
    print(e)

Bake an ExtraVox had found himself with some free time on his hands from the mundane repetitiveness of weyrlinghood, and that, of course, meant that he would hole himself away in the kitchens until he was needed again. There was nothing better in the world than knowing how to make your own food, especially if it was not for you.
He thought that he'd be making a 'Congratulations! You Impressed!' cake with all the bells and whistles- in sugar form, of course- for his former roommate, but lo and behold, she was not happy with who she Impressed to. That chimera, that conceited little dragonet was causing her distress and Vox, for one, wouldn't put up with that. He knew what it felt to be hurt by your dragon, and he knew that Quinn of all people didn't deserve that pain.
An 'I am so sorry that you got probably the worst and rudest dragon in the clutch' cake was in order, then.
Fewer bells and whistles, more and more pound cake and simple vanilla icing. Pound cake was Quinn's favorite, she told him. Basic, he thought, but it made sense because Holds didn't have cake like Weyrs did. He'd put some berries on top for flair so it would at least look pretty.
He had finished setting out all the ingredients when he was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of cracking eggs. "Strange," he thought. "I didn't place the basket of eggs down that hard..." Vox didn't always have the gentlest of touches, but he always tried to place eggs down with the utmost of caution. Removing the cloth on top of the basket, Vox realized why there was a problem with his dozen eggs.
There were thirteen eggs, not twelve, and the thirteenth was shaking and cracking.
Panic ensued, this was a firelizard egg! This was a firelizard egg, you were supposed to feed them when they hatched and he had no food- He paused. He was in the kitchen, he had tons of food. He grabbed some of the extra berries he brought to snack on while he baked and had them at the ready for when the little flit popped out.
Soon enough, a snout popped out. And not soon after came the rest of the firelizard. A little bronze beauty. Vox held out one of the berries to the flit and watched as he gobbled it up. "Aww... aren't you a little angel? Sweet little number thirteen." He thought for a second. "...Oh! Thirteen! Baker's Dozen, that's you."
Now, hopefully, he'd have enough berries left over for that cake.
Swallow StepA rose by any other name is still a rose, and by the same way, Leo was a fighter. As kind as she could be on the inside, she wanted to be able to throw a mean right hook on the outside. Whenever she got the time, and whenever her roommate, Honerva, was out of the room, Leo got to practising her punches.
It wasn't like she had anything to punch, anything she needed to punch, anything she wanted to punch, but it was good practice. Plus, if worst came to worst and someone ticked her off or tired to hurt her, she would be ready. Leo bounced around the room, pretending that she had an opponent in front of her. In her mind, it was one of those fights where all the kids would group around, cheer for their friend to win. Those didn't happen often in her Hold, but she could remember one or two, and she was prepared to win this one.
And the opponent is down! Leo raises her arms in victory, laughing. Plopping down onto her bed, she gently swung her legs up and relaxed for a second. Wait- no, that was uncomfortable- wait- she stood back up. She moved around the blankets to find a single firelizard egg, bundled up and cozy... and cracking. Who the forsk thought it was funny to put one of those in her bed? She scrambled around the room for some food, lucky to have brought back some fruit from the dining hall to eat as a snack.
A crack on the right!
A crack on the left!
And its... a garnet firelizard! Cheeping and squawking like crazy, Leo shoved the fruit right up to her face. The flit nipped at the fruit and Leo's fingers, making her retract her hand. "By Faranth, you're a little fighter, huh? No biting when I feed you, alright?" The garnet squinted at her as Leo held out the food once more, no biting was to be had.
Leo sighed. Welp, it looked like whoever put the egg there was missing out on a flit. "You fight? I fight too. We're fighters together now. What's a name for a fighter like you..." She thought for a second, there was no way she was naming the thing 'Uppercut'. Throw some sounds together then! "Baji. Bajiquan. Just please stop nipping at my fingers from now on, alrigh- OW!"
Leo had a strong guess that she was always gonna have bite marks on her hands from now on.


Today's Bible reading is Psalm 150.
Breathing is one of those things we don't think about until we slow down and intentionally reflect on what our amazing bodies are actually doing.
If you got 8 hours of sleep last night, you took somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000 breaths. Your lungs were on God-designed autopilot. Stay awake for the next 16 hours and you'll inhale more than 15,000 times.
God gave you your first breath and he'll be present at your final breath. You're living on God's planet, breathing God's air, with a body given to you … by God.
So what will you do with today's 23,000?
Maybe that leads us to ask, "What's the best possible use of God's air?" Consider the last lines of Israel's songbook, the Psalms of the Old Testament.
To sing a song of praise. To whisper a prayer that will be heard in heaven. To share a word of encouragement. To express concern. To comfort as you have been comforted. To teach. To convey forgiveness. To nurture. To give thanks. To speak up in defense. To communicate love. To live in harmony with the Composer of all good things, to the praise of his glory.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! If he wills, you'll borrow 23,000 of them today. Will you make the most of them?

The Palestinians Are Part of the Old Arab Order
By	Prof. Hillel Frisch	January 5, 2012
The Palestinians are part of the old Arab order because time and time again they have aligned themselves with the worst dictators of the Arab world, and their own governments in the West Bank and Gaza are cut from the same cloth as the regimes of the old Arab order.
BESA Center Perspectives No. 158
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Palestinians are part of the old Arab order because time and time again they have aligned themselves with the worst dictators of the Arab world. Their own governments in the West Bank and Gaza are cut from the same cloth as the regimes of the old Arab order; they are one-party police-states where the opposition and the media are suppressed. They demand the right to self-determination for themselves but deny it to others. They are also part of the old Arab order of terrorism.
Many have wondered since the beginning of the Arab upheavals why the Palestinians have not taken part in the hoped-for 'Arab Spring.' The answer is that with the positions they hold today, the Palestinians are an integral part of the old Arab order, and therefore are unable to participate in a democratic, tolerant Arab renaissance.
The Palestinians are part of the old Arab order because time and time again they have extolled the Arab leaders who make up the old Arab order and aligned themselves with the worst dictators of the Arab world.
With overwhelming Palestinian public support, PLO leader Yasser Arafat, risked international isolation and condemnation for himself, his people and his movement in order to support Saddam Hussein's occupation of Kuwait. Saddam was the most brutal leader of the old Arab order. (After their liberation from Saddam, the Kuwaitis expelled over 100,000 Palestinians in retaliation for eager Palestinian cooperation in suppressing Kuwaiti citizens.)
This is the same Arafat, the same PLO, and the same Palestinian People who today rail against Israeli 'occupation.' Take for example, Azmi Bishara, the former Israeli-Palestinian Member of Knesset who called himself as a democratic liberal. He defied Israeli law forbidding the visiting of an enemy state in order to eulogize Hafiz al-Assad, the strongman of Syria, after his death in 2001. Assad was one of the most murderous of Arab leaders. His son Bashar is presently suppressing Syrian citizens with great brutality. (Bishara later fled Israel and resigned from the Knesset after being questioned by police on suspicion of aiding and passing military information to Hezbollah during wartime).
Another Palestinian-Israeli Arab Member of Knesset, Ahmad Tibi, led an entourage of Israeli Palestinians to pay homage to Muammar Gaddafi, the fallen Libyan dictator, just before the outbreak of the revolution that led to Gaddafi's downfall. In neither case were these Palestinians forced to act as they did. They did it out of love – for the 'old' Arab dictators and their regimes.
Palestinians are also part of the 'old Arab order' for supporting Arab nationalism, which in retrospect, was clearly an ideological smokescreen for Sunni Arab domination over the minorities in the Middle East. As mentioned above, the Shiites of Iraq drove the Palestinians out of their midst for collaborating with the Ba'thi regime in suppressing the Shiite majority and the Kurdish minority in Iraq – in the name of Arab nationalism.
More recently, no Palestinian leader, faction, or 'human-rights' organization has had anything critical to say about the brutal suppression of Shiites in Bahrain, just as they were silent in years past about the wrongs and atrocities against minorities in the Arab-speaking world.
The Palestinians are part of the old Arab order because they demand the right to self-determination for themselves but deny it to others. The Palestinians supported Saddam's regime against Kurdish self-determination; they support the Moroccan occupation and colonization of Western Sahara (which denies the indigenous peoples a right to a state of their own); and they support the Algerian regime in suppressing Berber/Amazight language and culture.
Both Mahmoud Abbas' Palestinian Authority and the Hamas government in Gaza are cut from the same cloth as the regimes of the old Arab order. They are one-party police-states whose main line of business is suppressing the opposition, incarcerating political prisoners, and denying media freedoms to the opposition. The rump parliaments in both the West Bank and Gaza have been moribund since the outbreak of Palestinian civil war in 2006.
The PLO itself is the ultimate example of the old Arab order. The dozen or more factions that constitute the PLO are over forty years old; yet in none of them has leadership change taken place except through the natural or unnatural death of the leader. The same can be said of the relatively younger Islamist Jihad al-Islami and Hamas movements. There is no internal democracy in these groups.
Remember: More than anything, the Arab upheavals of the past year are about instituting a change of leadership in the Arab world. The Palestinians are having none of that.
The Palestinians are also part of the old Arab order of terrorism. The Palestinians, who introduced wide-spread and indiscriminate terrorism to the world, served as an inspiration to Hezbollah and al-Qaeda terrorism, presumably the movements hurt most by the would-be Arab spring. The Palestinians continue to take part in this old Arab terrorist agenda through indiscriminate missile attacks and conventional acts of terrorism.
Does all this mean that the Palestinians are doomed, and barred from the promise of an Arab spring?
Not necessarily. Palestinians could begin a promising journey towards a democratic renaissance by acknowledging the rights they demand from Israel and the world to others. They could, for example, support the right to self-determination of the Kurdish, the Berber and the Jewish peoples, including recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. Palestinians could and should take a stand against the oppression of Egypt's Copts. They could and should renounce Arab national movements that betray these principles. They could and should become a voice for civil rights if and when the new Islamist regimes in the Arab world begin to deny these rights to their minorities.
Without question, the journey to a Palestinian democratic spring is long and arduous. Fortunately, the Palestinians have an example nearby of a democratic and prosperous state worthy of emulation – Israel.

Authoritative mom and father make calls for that match with kids's potential to take responsibility for their very own habits. Kids subsequently be taught that they are competent people who can do points successfully for themselves. This fosters excessive vanity, cognitive progress, and emotional maturity.
Finally, the current evaluation was carried out in a specific tradition and with adolescents who of their majority (60.7%) confirmed baby to mom or father violence. Future analysis will keep in mind different infractions not contemplated throughout the present study. How their youngsters usually prove: These youngsters are usually very successfully-adjusted, Klinzing says. They settle for challenges readily. They are unbiased and cooperative with others. They keep on with duties longer than different youngsters their age. They've wonderful communication expertise.
As with one thing, there is a heart floor. It does not take a rocket scientist to know that providing kids with options and assist helps them to gain experiences, confidence and networks that they wouldn't be provided in extra antagonistic settings. But there's a very important line between supporting youngsters and wrapping them in gold-plated cotton wool.
They've more educational points and delinquency issues.
Exploring totally different parenting varieties will assist dad and mom uncover improved self-self-discipline methods, communication methods, and relationship constructing strategies towards optimizing their parenting effectiveness of raising wholesome and fully satisfied youngsters. They're liberal with the child and do not want to upset them. They're excessive on responsiveness and low on demandingness. They take on the function of a great buddy as a substitute of a guardian, and hardly have any guidelines or development. The kid grows up with limited self-management and self-discipline.
Youngsters of permissive mom and father are inclined to have issues with self control and accepting obligation, and are sometimes emotionally immature. PLEASE ASSIST the authoritative grandparent, whose toddler chooses to be a permissive—seemingly lazy—father or mom. A part of the selection to be permissive appears to be for the intention of punishing the grandparent OR distancing the grandparent.
Permissive parenting is a kind of parenting sort characterised by low demands with high responsiveness. Baumrind got here up with three parenting varieties: Authoritative, Permissive, and Authoritarian. She noticed that almost all mom and father use one among these parenting kinds. Within the 1980s, Maccoby and Martin additional researched and received here up with the fourth parenting style, that is, Neglectful ( 2 ).
This style of parenting has some extent of effectiveness but as well as has some adverse affect as successfully. Parental hostility and rejection foster anger and frustration in kids and adolescents which in flip leads to higher ranges of antisocial behavior forty three. The youngsters are normally extra discontented, withdrawn, and distrustful. Cross-cultural variations have been found with the type of parenting fashion. Some research implies that one of these parenting is extra practical for Blacks than Whites, bearing in mind larger hazard environments (e.g., lower social monetary status, harmful neighborhoods) forty one,forty two,forty four,45. However, this style of parenting is simplest when mother and father show involvement, trust, care, and communication forty six. Many youngsters develop healthful self-confidence and vanity however may need significantly more rigidity of their coping mannequin.
And that should be exactly what kids raised by authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful dad and mom actually feel at occasions. When I examine emotion coaches, I really feel like I matter and should make an affect And so it is with an autonomy-supportive, authoritative, emotion teaching parenting fashion.

The General Education Board (GEB) was devoted to the cause of improving education throughout the United States. Its efforts included a number of key initiatives focusing on public education in the South and the improvement of medical education.
The GEB was incorporated in 1903 to foster "the promotion of education within the United States of America, without distinction of race, sex, or creed."[1] John D. Rockefeller, Sr., (JDR Sr.) made an initial commitment of $1 million to the organization, but his contributions quickly grew to $43 million by 1907. The total of these donations marked, at the time, the largest gift to a philanthropic organization in the history of the United States.
The Racial Divide
The first project undertaken by the GEB sent agents across the South to survey and report on conditions in black and white schools. Agent W.T.B. Williams wrote exceedingly honest narratives of the conditions he encountered. Williams reported on overcrowded and dilapidated schoolhouses and underpaid teachers and commented extensively on the racial divide. Williams wrote from North Carolina, "There is in fact but little interest in negro education among the whites, I am led to believe, save in the cases of the very best elements, who are sadly in the minority."[2] In 1907 Williams lobbied for increased support of black colleges, noting that they had received "…little or no assistance from the General Education Board for advancing their college work."[3] In 1916 a GEB Committee on Negro Education recommended increased support for higher education in the African-American community, and a few years later the GEB launched a funding campaign in support of black colleges in the South.

Funding Through Farming
The GEB also sought to create publicly funded school systems throughout the South. To persuade local populations that public schools were necessary, the GEB relied on a number of methods, including what came to be known as "circuit riders." Circuit riders were professors hired as Chairs of Education by state universities but paid for by the GEB. They traveled across the region extolling the benefits of public education and lobbying local governments to raise taxes to pay for it.
Demonstration of improved farming implements
Wallace Buttrick, Secretary of the GEB, understood that it was necessary not only to sell the idea of public education, but also to create the economic conditions to support such a system. Large portions of the South were poverty-stricken and rural, and many places had failed to recover from the economic devastation of the Civil War. These rural areas were populated largely by poor white tenant farmers and even poorer African-American farmers. Buttrick believed that the key to funding public education lay in stimulating the agricultural economy in order to create a viable tax base. To aid in agricultural development, Buttrick turned to Seaman Knapp of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Knapp adhered to the idea of "scientific agriculture." He favored the use of farm demonstrations to teach farmers about new agricultural techniques and products. While Knapp had been using demonstrations to fight the boll weevil on cotton plantations, Buttrick believed demonstrations could also be used to show farmers how to increase their yields and profits. This increase in profits would, in turn, help generate revenues to fund public schools.

In 1906 the GEB made an agreement with the USDA to pay the salaries of agents who could conduct farm demonstrations on behalf of the GEB. The program proved to be enormously successful in stimulating agricultural output and profits.
However, critics of the system abounded. In 1914 the program came under scrutiny from government officials led by Senator William Kenyon of Iowa. Kenyon accused the GEB and JDR Sr. of using their wealth to influence politics. Certainly, the USDA-GEB relationship involved a private philanthropic organization helping to shape public policy. Supporters of the GEB's work argued that the GEB simply provided much-needed financial support to a region and for a cause the government was unwilling or unable to fund. These supporters denied that the GEB manipulated local politics. As Bruce R. Payne, a GEB Chair of Education, wrote to Senator Thomas Martin of Virginia:
I have been most intimately connected with the work of the General Education Board in the South for the past ten years and I wish to bear testimony that no organization, no individual, has done as much for the building up of our higher education, of our secondary school system; for the improvement of rural education, for the wonderful achievement of improved methods of agriculture in the South as has this organization and its representatives. Many of them are Southern men, and I wish to assert without fear of successful contradiction, that they have worked through our Southern people exclusively, have not even imposed their own suggestions, except when requested to do so, and have left it to the wisdom and good sense of our good people to spend for social uplift any donations made.[4]
The controversy ended with the passing of the Smith-Lever Bill in 1914. This bill created the Extension Service in the USDA, a program that mirrored the GEB but relied on federal funding and barred the GEB from participation.
Fixing the Books
Financial responsibility was another tenet of the GEB. At JDR Sr.'s insistence, all institutions wishing to receive GEB funding had to maintain transparent and balanced budgets. Colleges had to raise matching funds. To aid colleges in this requirement, the GEB hired Trevor Arnett to assess the state of university accounting practices and to write a manual to standardize methods of accounting. This research culminated in the 1922 publication of College and University Finance, which became hugely influential in the field of university administration.
Reforming Medicine
One of the GEB's greatest accomplishments was the reform of medical education in the United States. The charge was led by Abraham Flexner, Secretary of the GEB, who had completed a comprehensive evaluation of existing medical programs in 1910. The GEB program of medical education existed from 1913 to 1929 and distributed $94 million to 25 medical schools.
Creating a Legacy
In addition to its major programs, the GEB also provided many small grants throughout its existence. The GEB funded fellowships and conferences and provided emergency grants that helped to pay salaries and keep schools in operation during the Great Depression.

Alabama 1914-1916
In the 1940s the GEB began to struggle with decisions about its future and its legacy. In a 1944 Trustee Report entitled The Future of the General Education Board, Raymond Fosdick wrote, "The job we started out to do forty years ago is far from completed. While in great ferment, the situation is full of hope and opportunity. It does not seem to us that we can wisely stop now. We are a stabilizing influence in the field and we have much in the way of leadership and experience to offer."[5]
The General Education Board began to wind down its program in 1953, committing the last of its principal funds to such groups as the Council of Southern Universities and the Council for Financial Aid to Education, which it had created with the collaboration of three other foundations to encourage the business community to support colleges and universities. The GEB finally closed its doors in 1964, having expended a total of $324.6 million since 1902. From rural elementary schools to elite graduate and professional programs, the reach of the GEB had been wide. Its final grant, like one of its very first, went to Berea College in Kentucky. The aim was to support impoverished students, both black and white, from Appalachia.
