The new term at Bulford St Leonard's Primary School, part of Salisbury Plain Academies, kicked off with an exciting day of activities.
Everything was based around the new school topic – Our Wonderful World. Throughout this term, the whole school will have a focus on the world, and will learn about different continents and countries.
In Year's 3, 4, 5 qnd 6, the children spent the morning moving between four classrooms to experience different activities about the world. Teachers, Imogen Copp and Donna Sandford, taught the children how to say hello in a number of different languages and shared national anthems from different countries.
In Karen Jeffery's classroom the children had the opportunity to create a globe of their own on balloons and with Rosie Brady, children had the opportunity to taste foods from around the world including olives.
In the afternoon, the children began construction on famous landmarks from around the world using junk modelling.
In Year's 1 and 2, the children in Charlotte Burton's and Chris Baker's classes spent the morning looking at world maps and using atlases to find different countries. They also enjoyed making flags from around the world and finding facts about various famous landmarks. In Caroline Nash's class children tasted bread from different countries. "They loved tasting the baguettes, cob and bread sticks but didn't like the vollkornbrot from Germany," she explained.
New pupils in the Reception class were set a holiday challenge, they had to bring in pictures of any places they had explored either in the holiday or before. They then took turns to share their pictures with the other children, telling them where they had been. Then they used the globe to find the different countries such as Spain, Turkey and even Singapore!
In class the children enjoyed making flags from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales during independent learning. They also enjoyed reading the new Julia Donaldson story 'What the Ladybird Heard on Holiday', learning more about London and the famous landmarks there.
Everyone finished off the day by coming together in a Collective Worship to share everything they had done throughout the day.

Q: Cannot update TextView inside Observer.update I have a problem trying to setText of a TextView inside Observer.update. I tried to debug, and it did run into the update function, but the setText call was ignored.
if (step.getMyTimer().countObservers() == 0){
                Observer ob = new Observer() {
                    @Override
                    public void update(Observable observable, Object data) {
                        timerTextView.setText(step.getMyTimer().toString());

                        Log.v("INSIDE OBSERVER ", "");
                    }
                };

                step.getMyTimer().addObserver(ob);
                Log.v("ADD OBSERVER :", "");
            }

In the logcat, it did print out the INSIDE OBSERVER.
Anybody have any ideas ?

So I tried to add this into Observer.update and timer :
Observer ob = new Observer() {
                    @Override
                    public void update(Observable observable, Object data) {

                        Log.v("THREAD UPDATE OBSERVER ", ""+Looper.myLooper().getThread().getName());
                    }
                };

                step.getMyTimer().addObserver(ob);
                Log.v("THREAD ADD OBSERVER :", "" + Looper.myLooper().getThread().getName());

In timer :
_timer = new CountDownTimer(min * 60000, 1000) {
            @Override
            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                tick();
                setChanged();
                notifyObservers();
                clearChanged();
                Log.v("THREAD TIMER : ", "" + Looper.myLooper().getThread().getName());
            }
...
}

And this is output :

Obama supporters convicted of voter fraud in Ohio – an update
The New Paltz, NY Times Herald-Record has a story this morning on the conviction of Amy Little, Tate Hausman and Yolanda Hippensteele.
Political organizer from New Paltz guilty of illegal voting
By Alexa James
Times Herald-Record
Posted: April 30, 2009 – 2:00 AM
NEW PALTZ — Conspicuous political mobilizer Amy Little of New Paltz pleaded guilty Tuesday to voting illegally in Ohio during the presidential election campaign.
During the race, Little worked for an independent get-out-the-vote group called Vote Today Ohio. While touting Democratic candidate Barack Obama in the battleground state, she also registered to vote there.
Little, 50, claimed she'd moved from her home in New Paltz to a place in Columbus, near Ohio State University. Her new address doubled as headquarters for Vote Today Ohio. Other transplants in the group also used that location to register to vote in Ohio.
According to Ohio election laws, voters must reside in the state at least 30 days prior to the election and must intend to stay there after November.
"From my perspective, I was within the law," Little said Wednesday, suggesting she was "targeted by Republicans."
Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Charles Schneider saw things differently. In court, he said Little and her compatriots chose to vote in Ohio, instead of their home states, in an attempt to sway its electoral college toward Obama.
He sentenced Little, along with Daniel "Tate" Hausman, 32, of New York, and Yolanda Hippensteele, 30, of California, either to spend 60 days in jail or pay a $1,000 fine. Little said she'll pay the fine.
The controversy also cost Little her role as a paid adviser for Rep. John Hall, D-Dover Plains. He cut ties with her when the investigation surfaced.
Little plans to continue her political work in New Paltz. The misdemeanor conviction "is such a footnote," she said. "Obama won by a landslide (in Ohio) and that's what I was working for."
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said his office is investigating dozens of voter fraud cases.
Little is probably correct that the numbers of voter fraud cases would not have tipped the election. However, her public quotes portray her as taking it all very lightly. The Ohio law is pretty clear that residency was required to vote in the state. These three people never planned to stay there. It is an open question how prevalent this practice was. I think the conduct of the leaders raises questions about the integrity of the entire Vote Today Ohio operation. Many people came from out of state to work for VTO and get out the Obama vote during Ohio's "golden week" of early voting. Organizers were asking for places to stay for these out-of-state organizers all over the state. How many of them followed the lead of the VTO leaders?
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien told me yesterday that more indictments are on the way. Court documents relating to the case are here and here.

Obama supporters found guilty of voter fraud in Ohio
I investigated and followed this story along with Palestra through the Fall. You can get caught up quickly at this post. Months later, the three leaders of Vote Today Ohio were found guilty of voter fraud.
Here is the story from the Columbus Dispatch:
3 voting advocates guilty of fraud
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 3:33 PM
By Barbara Carmen
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Three staff members for Vote Today Ohio, an independent get-out-the-vote organization supporting Barack Obama, pleaded guilty in Franklin County this afternoon to voter fraud.
The three came to Ohio from states where Obama was likely to win in an effort to swing Ohio's electoral college vote toward their candidate, Judge Charles A. Schneider said.
Given a year's probation and a $1,000 fine were Daniel Hausman, 32, and Amy Little, 50, both of New York, and Yolanda Hippensteele, 30, of California. They told the court they had good intentions when they registered to vote and cast ballots the same day in early voting at Veterans Memorial.
"I was paying rent and living full-time in Ohio," Hippensteele told the judge, "I didn't attempt to vote in another state. … I think it's all a misunderstanding. I have a profound respect for the voting process."
Assistant Prosecutor Brian Simms said the three later tried to rescind their registration and cancel their votes; two were successful. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien had warned visiting campaign staff members that they shouldn't vote here if they didn't plan to stay after the election.
Schneider told the three that "rescinding your request is like giving back the money once you've been caught."
Amy Little was fired as a campaign adviser to Rep. John Hall (D-NY) after it was revealed that she had voted in Ohio, despite a residence in NY and intentions to return to NY.
Michael Stinziano, Director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, said he expects there may be more such outcomes since his office referred more allegations to the prosecutor.
Lots more on this story here.

Voter registration fraud indictment handed down in Ohio
This morning Franklin County (OH) Prosecutor Ron O'Brien announced the first in what will be a series of indictments of individuals for voter registration fraud. Here is the new release via Palestra.net
I am wondering if the six cases referred last Friday involve these folks or this woman?

Ohio voter fraud probe is issue in New York state Senate race
The woman who was fired by NY Rep. John Hall, Amy Little, has become a focus in another New York political contest. According to the Utica Observer-Dispatch, Ms. Little worked for another Democrat, Don Barber, who is trying to unseat incumbant state Senator, James Seward. Sen. Seward wants to know if Ms. Little did voter registration work for challenger Barber. Barber has refused to comment, except to say that Ms. Little no longer works for the campaign.
For her part, Ms. Little continues to deny wrongdoing. She told the Middletown Times Herald-Record that she voluntarily withdrew her vote because of the media attention.

Vote Today Ohio leaders withdraw their votes in Ohio
Palestra.net reporter Tiffany Wilson is reporting this morning that Amy Little, and Yolanda Hippensteele have withdrawn their votes in Ohio. Tate Hausman sought to do so but his vote had been opened and he cannot do so. He is seeking to withdraw his registration. The legal implications are unclear to me at this point. I had initially written that Hausman had withdrawn his vote but Ms. Wilson clarified in an email that Mr. Hausman's vote had been opened.
Amy Little was recently fired from her job as adviser to NY Rep. John Hall.
There are other out-of-state voters that have been turned in to the Franklin County Board of Elections, no word as yet on their intentions.

Vote Today Ohio organizer fired as adviser to New York Rep. John Hall
Yesterday, I posted about Amy Little, an adviser to New York Rep. John Hall and his campaign manager during the 2006 election. Little is also co-organizer of Vote Today Ohio, a pro-Obama get out the vote organization. Today according to the Times Herald-Record (NY), Ms. Little has been fired as Rep. Hall's adviser in response to an investigation of her vote in Columbus, Ohio.
Alexa James writes,
NEW PALTZ — Congressman John Hall (D-Dover Plains) fired one of his long-time campaign advisers Tuesday, after learning that she's embroiled in voter fraud investigations in Ohio.
Amy Little, 49, has been a registered Democrat in New York since 1991, and Ulster County election officials said she voted in the party primary here in February.
But in October, Little registered to vote in Ohio. On her registration paperwork, she indicated she moved from her home at 142 Guilford Schoolhouse Road in New Paltz to a place at 1979 N. 4th St. in Columbus, near Ohio State University.
That Ohio address also doubles as headquarters for a grassroots get-out-the-vote group called Vote Today Ohio. The organization's pro-Obama Web site says it targets "young people from campus/urban centers" and drives them to early voting sights in Ohio. The group also offers housing to out-of-town members.
Franklin County Board of Elections officials said four people, including Little, registered from Vote Today Ohio's address in October, just before the state's deadline. Little requested an absentee ballot, which election officials said she has submitted.
Ms. Little maintains she is following the law:
"I've been living in Ohio," she said, when reached on her home phone in New Paltz Wednesday morning. "I have no intention of voting in New York," she said, before cutting off the conversation, saying she had a flight to catch to Ohio.
Spokeswoman Pam Kapoor, with Vote Today Ohio, said Little moved into the group's headquarters a couple months ago, along with several other "core members."
Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Ron O'Brien confirmed that Little's name and address are under scrutiny.
Franklin County Board of Elections Director Michael Stinziano said his office has about 160 allegations pending, including "many" directed at Little and Vote Today Ohio. Election fraud in Ohio is a felony.
Rep. Hall's campaign isn't waiting for a verdict. The freshman congressman, who's running for re-election in the 19th district, heard about Little's problems Tuesday. "The moment we heard about it, her campaign consulting contract was terminated," said Campaign Director, Susan Spear.
1979 N. Fourth Street, Columbus, Ohio.
UPDATE: The Poughkeepsie Journal has an article on Rep. Hall's response to the Vote Today Ohio leader, Amy Little. Just a couple of additional points:
Pam Kapoor, a spokeswoman for Vote Today Ohio, said Little was part of a group of five or six people who had been living at the headquarters for the past three months. She said it wasn't uncommon, calling the news "much ado about nothing."
Pam Kapoor (who apparently is from Canada) said Vote Today Ohio has had the HQ for three months. I don't know how long someone has been there but the self-described leader, Tate Hausman has only been there since mid-September.

Advisor to New York Rep. John Hall registered to vote in Ohio
UPDATE: Below I referred to a letter sent to about 150 people with questionable residency. Here is that letter.
I suppose this might be the fourth dot. The Franklin County Board of Elections confirmed tonight that Ms. Little did cast a vote In Ohio by absentee ballot.
There are three dots to connect in this post.
Dot one – Amy Little, former campaign manager for Rep. John Hall (D-NY) and current advisor, resides in New Paltz, New York (this is near Poughkeepsie).
Dot two – Ms. Little is in Columbus, Ohio (1979 N. Fourth Street to be exact) co-organizing Vote Today Ohio, a pro-Obama get out the vote group.
Dot three – Ms. Little registered to vote in Ohio even though she is a resident of New Paltz, NY.
Currently, Prosecutor Ron O'Brien and the Franklin County Board of Elections are investigating about 150 people with questionable residency who registered to vote in Franklin County. Michael Stinziano, Director of the Franklin County Board, told me:
It is public knowledge that the Franklin County Board of Elections is investigating all allegations submitted to either our office or the Prosecutor's office and as part of that, consideration of what the allegation alleges. At this time, I cannot state whether the investigation is voter fraud, registration fraud or something additional.
No telling how widespread this is. Vote Today Ohio and similar groups are in major Ohio cities and at large state universities. I have reported on this before. Obamatravel.org helps fund people to make these trips. Here is the mission of Obamatravel.org:
Welcome to OBAMAtravel.org. This site is designed to help volunteers from non-swing states get to crucial swing states by connecting them with the resources they need.
If these volunteers come to get out the vote, that is organizing. If they come to vote, that would be considered improper. Clearly, it disrupts the election to have people from a state the Obama campaign deems safe come to a swing state and vote there.

Franklin County (OH) pulls out of state ballots for review
I talked this morning with Carolyn Gorup at the Franklin County Board of Elections in Columbus, Ohio. She noted that 200 absentee ballots have been pulled for review. Some of these were due to inability to verify the address. Others, however, were due to concerns about out-of-state voters entering Ohio to vote. The Vote Today Ohio group is one that was specifically identified.
Ms. Gorup indicated that the BOE is very serious about maintaining the integrity of the election and are actively researching leads about improper out-of-state voters. Information can be emailed to the Franklin County Board of Elections at boe (at) vote.franklincountyohio.gov.

What is Allowed on the Golf Cart Paths in Peachtree City?
Here are the rules and regulations of Peachtree City golf cart paths. You may be wondering who is allowed to use the golf cart paths, what the speed limits are, or how to get your golf car registered. The majority of the golf cart rules are listed below! Becoming familiar with these rules and regulations can keep you from getting cited or even from getting in a golf cart accident. If you need help with all the paths in Peachtree City, here is our page for a golf cart map in Peachtree City.
Who Can Use the Golf Cart Paths?
Registered Low Speed Motor Vehicles (LSMV) or GEM cars in a mode restricting speed to 20 mph or less.
Electric vehicles designed to carry one person below 20 mph.
What's Not Allowed on Golf Cart Paths?
Any motorized play vehicle that is not a golf cart, LSMV, EPAMD, electric bike, or motorized wheelchair.
There are no speed limit signs for the golf cart paths in Peachtree City, however all vehicles on golf cart paths are not allowed to exceed 20 mph.
Litter must be disposed of in proper receptacles along the path. If there are no trash cans near, keep the trash on your cart until you can throw it away. Littering on golf cart paths is subject to fines and penalties twice as intense as those for littering on streets.
No blocking public access, except for events approved by the city.
Normal rules of the road apply to golf cart paths. For example, when two golf carts approach each other, each user moves to the right side of the path. Passing should be on the left side of the path. Also, operators must come to a complete stop at every stop sign and painted stop line.
Pedestrians should be given the right of way by other users. This ensures their safety.
All laws regarding alcohol (DUI, open container laws) that apply on streets also apply on golf cart paths.
Golf carts, bicyclists, and skaters should give an audible warning when approaching pedestrians from the rear.
Clean up for pets along the paths and do not let them relieve themselves on private property.
Make sure animals are properly restrained. Well behaved pets can act out of fear of golf carts or bicycles on the paths.
Pet owners can be legally and civilly liable for any injuries caused by their pets on golf cart paths.
If you are using an extendable leash, make sure that the pet is not blocking the path for other users.
How Old Do You Have To Be To Drive a Golf Cart in Peachtree City?
Golf Cart Registration is required. Golf carts must be registered at City Hall within 10 days of purchase. It is also strongly encouraged to get golf cart insurance.
Age 16 or older with or without a drivers license (unless the license has been suspended or revoked.
Age 15 with a valid learners permit in their possession. If unaccompanied by a guardian or person 18 years or older, they may drive with one other person who must be 15 years or older, or they can be accompanied by up to 3 immediate family members.
Age 15 without a learners permit must be accompanied in the front seat with a parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or someone 18 or older with a valid drivers license.
Ages 12, 13, and 14 must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian in the front seat.
Anyone with a revoked license or permit.
Golf carts should be used with the same caution as a car. Make sure that you and those who drive your golf cart know that drivers and owners can be civilly and criminally charged for acts committed on their carts. Violations on a golf cart can affect a person's drivers license.
It is courteous to use the golf cart parking spaces (when available) but it is not illegal to park a golf cart in regular car parking spaces.
No one (regardless of their age) may sit on the driver's lap while the cart is in motion.
Carts are not allowed on or across Hwy 54, Hwy 74, Peachtree Pkwy, or Crosstown Road except at authorized crossings.
Young children should be seated flat in the seat. They should also wear safety helmets to avoid injury because they could easily fall of the golf cart.
Golf carts driven at night must have functional headlights and tail lights. A golf cart repair shop can fix broken headlights or tail lights.
Where paths exist, they must be used rather than parallel city streets.
Slow down when approaching other path users, intersections, or curves. Pictured below is a very curvy path with two golf carts who have just correctly passed each other at low speeds.
All operators must abide by traffic regulations that apply to vehicular traffic.
Use caution when crossing streets or driveways. Stop the cart if a car is approaching.
Additional Golf Cart Path Rules for LSMV, GEM cars, and EPAMD.
All LSMVs must be registered with the Fayette County Tag Office.
All LSMVs must be insured.
LSMVs are not allowed to operate on roads with speed limits exceeding 35 miles per hour. They can, however, cross over streets with posted speed limits above 35 miles per hour.
LSMVs must be on a setting that does not allow the vehicle to exceed 20 mph on all cart paths.
Electronic Personal Assistance Mobility Devices (EPAMDs) must be driven only by persons possessing a valid drivers license, or in lieu of a drivers license. People who are at least 18 years old may also operate EPAMDs on golf cart paths.
EPAMDs must have reflectors and if used at night, a headlight.
Only a single user may operate a EPAMD.
EPAMDs may only be operated at a speed no greater than 7 mph on any path or sidewalk, or 15 mph on any other city right of way.

Q: A function in my singly linked list (that adds a new node after finding a specific node) is making my program crash Here is a snippet. Basically, when I try to run this code, it'll crash. This revised function is most likely the culprit (I had it written differently before, and it worked just fine).
Link *add_after(Link *p, Link *n,const string& s )
{
    Link *current = p; //No 'previous' needed.
    /* empty list */
    if(p == 0){
        cout<<"List is empty so string not found so nothing is added after it. \n";
        return 0;
    }
    else if(p->value == s){ //Checks first Link.
        cout << s << " was found in the Linked List. The new Link will be added.\n";
        n->next = p->next;
        p->next = n;
        return p;
    }
    else{
        current = current->next;
        while(current != 0){ //Check the rest of the Linked List.
            if(current->value == s){
                cout << s << " was found in the Linked List. The new Link will be added.\n";                       n->next = current->next;
                current->next = n;
                return p;
            }
            current = current->next;                                                                                }
        return 0;
    }
}  // end of function

A: I cannot see much wrong with this except that in your "current" loop you return "p" if a match is found. But the linked list handling looks right to me. However, this function can really be simplified:
Link *add_after (Link *p,Link *n,const string &s)
{

   for ( ; p != NULL; p = p->next) {

       if (p->value == s) {
          n->next = p->next;
          p->next = n;
          break;
       }
    }

    return p;
}

A: Bad parameter data could crash it:

*

*If n is null program will crash

*If there is not an element e of p where e->next == null program will crash

Gambling Book Reviews - Read all about 'em!
Hi! Welcome to my site! I imagine you came to Gambling Book Reviews to find out about gambling books before you decide to buy, right? Well that�s exactly why I created this site. I�ve read tons of books on gambling, and my friends always ask me for my impromptu gambling book reviews when they�re looking for just the right book. One day, a friend of mine suggested that I create a web site where people just like you could get an opinion on a certain book. As you can see, I decided to take him up on his idea, and here we are!
My gambling book reviews are broken up into sections, where you�ll find reviews of books on different subjects related to gambling. I�ve got poker book reviews, blackjack book reviews and sports betting book reviews; each in their own section of this site. Other games, such as craps, roulette and baccarat don�t have as many books written about them as some games, so they�re all together in the section of reviews of books on other games.
I�ve also included a section on reviews of books about Las Vegas, and about some of the interesting personalities that have made Sin City what it is today. You can find out about books that show the history of Vegas, and books written by or about some of the most famous characters in gambling, like Amarillo Slim and Titanic Thompson.
And I�ve also put together a section with general gambling book reviews. These are books that include gambling tips, gambling guides, or just stories about gambling; but not related to one specific game. If you�re newer to gambling, this is where I�d go first. You�ll find gambling books that will help you off to a good start at the casinos, or help you find great deals when you�re out on the town.
At the bottom of this page, you�ll see some samples of book reviews that you can find here on this site. Just click on one and you�ll be taken to the page where that review is. You�ll be sure to find lots of others on the same page too, so spend some time finding the gambling book that�s just for you.
I hope you enjoy my site. I created it with you in mind, and I hope my gambling book reviews are useful to you. If there�s a gambling book review that you think I should include on my site, feel free to email me with your suggestions, and I�ll look into it. Please be patient though, as I have to read the book before I can write an informed gambling book review about it. Thanks again for visiting, and enjoy yourself while you�re here. If you found this site useful, be sure to tell your friends where you found your gambling book reviews; at GamblingBookReviews.com!
If you're looking for a little fun, why not check out this list of gambling tournaments. There's a variety of games, with tournaments happening several times a week plus L'talon de la Cara be.
Have you ever pondered playing at Jackpotcity pokies for a selection of all the best Aussie slots and other casino games?

Hi. I hope you like my site, and my reviews help you find the book that's just right for you. If you know of a good gambling book, but you can't find it here, please , and I'll be sure to include a review of it as soon as I've read it through. I'm glad you visited, and I hope you found what you were looking for.

I think the lighting during late autumn is often the most dramatic. In particular late afternoon just an hour or two before the sun hits the horizon, the light is low but bright, the trees are nearly bare yet the ground is not yet covered in snow. I think this situation creates a stark contrast between light and shadow with ground foliage still showing to add interest. I think taking a walk amongst nature alone at these times has a very special mood that's hard to describe in words, so I tried to describe it in a charcoal drawing.
The drawing is based on a photo I took in the South Jordan area of the Jordan River Parkway. This was one of the few places on the parkway where there is a significant hill to climb or descend, it's fairly steep and not real short. I think the perspective of looking uphill added to the effect. I made some small composition changes, adding the distant bush at the upper right and the distant hill for balance. I think I captured the mood pretty well, makes me want to go out for a late afternoon walk.

Math rappers, The Music Notes, will perform at Biocom Institute Festival of Science and Engineering's Expo Day.
Science is cool — really. At least according to the budding scientists who annually attend the San Diego Festival Science and Engineering Expo Day at Petco Park, which takes place Saturday.
Just take a look at what kids told organizers at last year's event.
Kids participate with hand-on activities organized by Think Blue San Diego, part of the Stem in Your Backyard countywide events..
The science festival is put on by the nonprofit Biocom Institute, in partnership with UC San Diego and the Fleet Science Center. Expo Day serves as the kick-off party for Biocom's ninth annual San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering, a week's worth of activities aimed at getting students interested in careers in science, technology, engineering or math — the "STEM" fields.
"We hope that local students and families will find that spark to inspire a path to a STEM career and join the workforce right here in our region," said Sara Pagano, managing director of the festival. "When you attend a festival like ours, you get to talk to some of the brightest minds ... and engage in activities that break down some of the most complex subjects.
The science festival draws more than 24,000 STEM enthusiasts of all ages. More than 130 companies and organizations, including presenting sponsor Illumina, will fill the stadium with booths that offer kids and their parents something unusual to see, touch or build. There will be two main stages with STEM-inspired performances that include returning math rappers The Music Notes, Ms. Smarty Plants from The Water Conservation Garden and TEDxKids@ElCajon. This year, there will be a meet-and-greet from 2 to 4 p.m. with actors from the new "Power Rangers" movie at Palm Court just inside the Gaslamp Gate. Bring your cameras for a photo op.
Kids at the Mad Science booth react to the fog created by a dry ice bubble bursting.
Preschool Science Workshops: Children ages 3 and up will experience hands-on STEAM activities inspired by classic fairy tales including "The Gingerbread Man," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Three Billy Goats Gruff," "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Chicken Little." Times vary. Monday through Friday. San Diego Children's Museum, 320 N. Broadway, Escondido. Free.
STEM in Your Backyard: These smaller versions of Expo Day feature 20 to 25 free, hands-on and interactive activities held in various communities throughout San Diego County including Vista, Barrio Logan, Chula Vista, City Heights, downtown San Diego and El Cajon.
Bee Builders: Learn about beekeeping through this interactive program that includes the concepts of pollination, beehives and bees' lifecycles. 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Carmel Valley Public Library, 3919 Townsgate Drive, San Diego. Free.
Guests extract DNA using wheatgerm at the Think Drink Science Series 2016 held at Ballast Point in Miramar.
Fleet Night of Science: Detectives vs. Engineers: Ages 21-and-older will don hard hats and construct a derby car, create a Rube Goldberg contraption and design a structure that will survive the Fleet's earthquake simulator. Then switch to a deerstalker (detective hat) and explore Sherlock Holmes and the Clocktower Mystery exhibition to challenge your powers of observation and deductive reasoning as you work to solve a murder mystery. 6 to 10 p.m. Friday. Fleet Science Center, 1875 El Prado, Balboa Park. Tickets start at $14.95.
The Science and Engineering of Lowriders: This family-friendly event includes the history of lowrider culture, the evolution of engineering and technology of these automotive art pieces and a tour of the famous murals of Chicano Park, ending with a lowrider demonstration. 1 to 3 p.m. March 12 in Barrio Logan. Free.

Evaluation and Application of a New Shape-sensitive Metric Useful for Characterizing Both Spectral Curves and Lidar Waveforms
Eric Ariel L. Salas, South Dakota State University
Dissertation - Open Access
Geospatial Science and Engineering
Geoffrey M. Henebry
This dissertation seeks to investigate hyperspectral and waveform LiDAR datasets through a new analytical framework called Moment Distance method that uses a metric derived from the shape of the curve (spectral or waveform). In the case of hyperspectral data, the shape of the reflectance curve should unmask fine points of the spectra usually not considered by existing band-specific indices. To explore the advantages and shortcomings of this new approach, leaf and canopy hyperspectral reflectance samples were simulated using the physicallybased models PROSPECT (a leaf model) and SAIL (a canopy model). Sensitivity analysis was conducted with the goal of understanding the sensitivity of the new framework to leaf and canopy parameters relative to other existing and widely-used vegetation indices. The analysis evaluated the efficiency of the new approach to overcome, for instance, the decreased sensitivity of the NDVI at moderate to high Chl content or LAI. With waveform LiDAR data, the new approach was tested through the characterization of the canopy height without the typical step of fitting a series of Gaussian curves to the waveform to identify key peaks. Furthermore, the effects of noise and smoothing procedures on the metrics framework were assessed by introducing different types and levels of noise and various smoothing window sizes.

APOBEC enzymes are DNA cytosine deaminases that normally serve as virus restriction factors, but several members, including APOBEC3H, also contribute to cancer mutagenesis. Despite their importance in multiple fields, little is known about cellular processes that regulate these DNA mutating enzymes. We show that APOBEC3H exists in two distinct subcellular compartments, cytoplasm and nucleolus, and that the structural determinants for each mechanism are genetically separable. First, native and fluorescently tagged APOBEC3Hs localize to these two compartments in multiple cell types. Second, a series of genetic, pharmacologic, and cell biological studies demonstrate active cytoplasmic and nucleolar retention mechanisms, whereas nuclear import and export occur through passive diffusion. Third, APOBEC3H cytoplasmic retention determinants relocalize APOBEC3A from a passive cell-wide state to the cytosol and, additionally, endow potent HIV-1 restriction activity. These results indicate that APOBEC3H has a structural zipcode for subcellular localization and selecting viral substrates for restriction.

Is it? Well the guys at the front make it look easy, how do they do that?
Parkstone yacht club held the Merlin Rocket silver tiller last weekend, a conversation over a beer at Cowes week led me to ask my brother to helm a Merlin for my ex. crew Matt, so we could grudge match, John an experienced dayboat helm ( ok, he's won Cowes week a couple of times) but hasn't been in a dinghy for maybe a decade agreed to this foolish beer talk.
At the same beer talk I asked a mutual friend to crew for me (a Parkstone Yacht Club local), Christina, also an experienced dayboat and yacht crew (some people say professional, we just know she's a Cowes week winning helm as well) but still a novice crewing in a Merlin.
Two virgin crews, and a light forecast. Game on.
Saturday dawned bright with sunshine and…… Zero wind. This gave the crews ample time to rig, fiddle, tweak, admire the plastic boats. Yes you guessed, we were two woodies.
The hoisting of the new jib in dimension polyant flex, saw admiring glances from messrs Turner, Parslow and Birrell. Likewise lots of admiration of Jon Turner's panther, amazing finish, and some very cool systems to control everything!
Launching as soon as we could to allow a chance for some crew practise we made our way out to the race course.
When arriving at the race area, give yourself enough time to sail the first beat, get a feel for the wind, tide, which side is favoured.
This we did, the boat felt ok, the tacking and gybing as expected were not going to be on an RYA how to track a Merlin video.
The fleet gathered, AP came down (that's the red and white cat in a hat pennant, meaning racing postponed). The course was triangle, sausage X 4. That's not a food order, that's beat, reach (GYBE) reach, beat, run x4 laps.
As the clock ticked down we found ourselves in the place you definitively do not want to be, a school boy error supreme.
The start. Work out which end is preferred, work out a strategy to get there, find a space, protect your space, watch for boats trying to lever you up, give yourself room to power of the line.
The start. Do Not Ever, ever, ever. Try to sneak in the committee boat end when the line is short, the tide is pushing you into the committee boat, there is the majority of the fleet at the committee boat, you have so many boats overlapped on you.
And so we found ourselves at the committee boat with 5 seconds to go and no where to go. Crikey this was embarrassing, locked out at the committee boat end, we bailed out and gybed round to get back to the line as the fleet started. DFL (there's a three letter acronym that sailors don't like).
Starting last in a fleet with world, national and olympians in wind of less than 10 knots is a bummer. Focus, watch the shifts, we were catching. The trouble is this fleet is good and most have been trying to win open meetings in Merlin's for a while.
By the end of the first beat we had caught the tail end, but the leaders were already approaching the gybe mark.
Team work. Boat speed is great, boat speed is necessary to win. You will not win if you are not a crew, why do you think these guys sail together as much as possible? Practise, practise, practise. Practise so much that it really is second nature, two as one.
The systems on a Merlin can be complicated, even when they make sailing the boat easier it still takes time to work out the best method. We struggled to get the kite up, we struggled with our gybes. We just couldn't get downhill as quick as the others. A skewed gybe mark saw a gain from sailing a more direct line. A couple of places at the the gybe mark and the next beat.
Learn from your mistakes. Simple, if you lose going right on the first and the leaders are going right. Then go right.
The tide was making the left pay so we went left, quick in a straight line, manoeuvres and the downwind legs were losing the time for us. Thankfully the Race Officer shortened the course after the sausage. Not my greatest result in a boat, lots of reminders of doing the basics right.
Despite waiting for the wind and wishing for wind, it never arrived and so AP over A was flown, that's racing abandoned for the day, go and have a beer, try and work out why the top guys are so damn quick.
Sunday. Race 2 (3, 4 &5) well the all sort of blurred together.
The start, oh yes, this was better. Time, distance, gun…. Err speed? Where was the speed? Ummmm I dunno, we pulled the trigger and watched the fleet sail away! Nuts!
Ok, ok, keep calm, shifts. Boat flat. We gained, we overtook, we lost a few. Every tack these guys did they were taking boat lengths from us. Amazing to see how much difference a well tacked Merlin gains over one just being 'tacked'. We weren't helped by my non slip deck being more 'slip' than 'non'. More than once I tacked, the boat tacked, but Christina couldn't find traction under foot and ended up folding back into the space whence she came, funny but not fast.
Downwind the same story. I just couldn't get the boat to go, not just boat handling, something just wasn't 'zinging' downwind is usually a strong point. But we just bled positions.
Gaining upwind is no bad thing, we just didn't have the time and the downwind was losing more than we could claw back.
Another shortened course and a whopper wind shift saw a pause.
Our best start yet, hit the line with pace, boat speed good. We are looking ok, with the top guns, we are holding our line and our position. Wait for the shift, look for a lane.
You've got to look for a clear lane to sail in, get some clean wind in your sails, as clean as you can find, don't hit the extreme lanes unless you know you are into a 100% winning strategy, be aware of what the other guys might do, will they tack with you, if port starboard are you waving them on?
The first shift came we tacked and and so did the boat above and then the one just behind. Not finding a lane of the start, another school boy error. Bugger, no we were being gassed by bad wind, we started to slip back. A clearing tack for a better lane and we rounded the top mark just outside the top ten. That'll do, we can do it. The boat she works, she just needs time.
Needless to say the downwind leg saw us lose a couple of boats, bit worse was to come. At the leeward mark we couldn't get the kite into the chute, held in, half out. Turning the mark with the kite stuck we had to turn back downwind to try to rehoist the kite and have another go at getting it down…DFL. hmmmm. We got a few places back but the fleet had long since disappeared over the horizon.
That is pretty much the story of this open meeting for us. The starts got better, the upwind was good, but jumping into a boat as an untried team, when one of you hasn't sailed a dinghy for a long time is not easy. Merlin's are at the pinnacle of rig, foil, sail systems.
However, in phases we felt good, the speed was there. So we'll be back, it's a drug sail racing and they say Merlin's are a drug to, to get them working is addictive, is there a Merlin's Anonymous? We think we might be getting addicted.
Prior Planning and Preparation, Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
If you are going to race successfully make sure your boat works, make sure the fittings are working, give them a tickle of silicone.
Winning is easy, it just takes, time, dedication, the 7p's. Maybe the other guys are better, maybe they practise more, maybe they have been doing it longer. Anyone can win. Can't they?
A huge thanks to my guest crew Christina, always smiling even when folded down to leeward. The non slip is ordered! Also thanks to Parkstone YC stunning location and clubhouse, friendly people, we'll be back..
Sorry Matt, at least we have proved that we both need practise.
Open results? Yes there are, they're out there somewhere, it's not about the winning is it?
