Posters are visual communication tools that serve as a starting point for in-depth conversations. An effective poster will attract attention and acquaint participants with the fundamentals of your project or study quickly and easily. Putting together a research poster can be a daunting task, especially if you've never done so before. In conjunction with students at the University of Connecticut Digital Media and Design department, we've put together a few tips for how to create an effective and compelling research poster.
Check out the video and notes below. These are just a few suggestions. If you have questions, comments, or additional suggestions, please share them in the comments area in our Professional Resource Center (open to members only), and help us make this a great resource!
Think of a poster as an advertisement of your work. Rather than providing all the details of your research, an effective poster acquaints participants with the essentials of your work quickly and clearly, creating a frame of reference and stimulating a detailed discussion. To this end, you'll want to focus on two key elements: content and design.
We're working with the University of Connecticut student team to craft resources for ISA members, like this video. To learn more about the team and projects, check out Behind the Scenes.
Interested in connecting with the team at ISA 2017 in Baltimore? Students will be clad in black and khaki (and carry staff badges), as they document the participant experience at ISA Conventions. We'll have an Interview Spot set up in the second floor of the Hilton, near the onsite registration desk. It's a great opportunity to share your thoughts about the Convention and the Association with the ISA community. Stop by and say hello, see what we're up to, and maybe even take a turn in front of the camera.

Because the adage goes, 'properly begun is half performed." An efficient undertaking report is the muse for a profitable undertaking. Learn on to seek VidEngagr Reviews out out ten helpful ideas for getting them performed the best approach.
Having a transparent construction ranks among the many prime ideas for efficient undertaking studies. A very good report has a correct type and construction. Most companies favor the top-down strategy that entails stating the primary level or the gist of the purpose first after which reinforcing or substantiating the purpose made. A lesser-used different is the bottom-up strategy that entails build up assist for a degree talked about on the finish.
A undertaking report requires good substance to again up the great construction. The report must cowl the small print of the undertaking comprehensively, together with all the massive dangers and points that have an effect on the undertaking and options for a similar. A very good strategy is to interrupt up the problems concerned into duties or targets and element a transparent time and value evaluation towards resolving the problems.
Massive studies, often greater than 4 pages' size or containing many subsections, want to incorporate a desk of contents. Incorporation of a desk of contents gives a 'prime down" gist of the report, permitting the reader to orient himself or learn selectively from the report.
Most studies have separate tables of content material for graphs and tables. The usual numbering methodology is marking the 'Introduction" web page as the primary web page.
A content-heavy title entails title and subsection heads that convey meanings and gives the reader with a transparent understanding of what follows. As an example, the title 'Proprietary Tempers" is simply too basic and obscure to convey any that means, whereas the title 'Assembly the Demand for Proprietary Tempers" makes it content material heavy and clear.
Content material heavy titles assist the 'top-down" strategy with the title being the primary level and the textual content that follows the reason of the purpose.
The very best of headings makes the textual content that follows superfluous.
A vital side of fine undertaking report writing is the usage of easy and easy-to-understand language free from spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.
Lists, tables, figures, and graphs are vital components of any undertaking report. Such gadgets spotlight key factors of emphasis, take away litter, and make the report construction simple to learn and visually interesting.
Bulleted lists discover use to spotlight to-do gadgets or particular actions. Figures, graphs, and tables make for highly effective instruments to current concepts, make comparisons, or summarize factors in a approach that captures and retains curiosity. Together with all such info in descriptive sentences make the undertaking report too prolonged and cumbersome.
Offering content-heavy labels for graphs, charts figures, and tables gives the readers with an entire abstract with out having to look into the textual portion of the report.
One vital good follow is to incorporate the graphs and tables together with the related portion of the textual content, quite than grouping them as an appendix in the long run.
Prolonged undertaking studies require an appendix to position technical particulars, background materials equivalent to consultants from earlier research, lists of supporting packages, uncooked knowledge, by-product and analytical expressions, and related materials. Inclusion of such gadgets together with the primary textual content interrupts the circulate and makes it troublesome for the reader who desires to make a fast preliminary studying and go into the small print at a later stage.
A references part turns into obligatory if the report comprises outcomes from books or articles. and supply the total quotation within the references part. Adherence to straightforward type pointers such because the APA Fashion, MLA Fashion, Chicago Fashion, or Harvard Fashion lends further credibility to the undertaking report.
Most individuals ignore is proofreading the undertaking report earlier than submission. This can be a mistake! Proofreading can seize inadvertent errors which can be easy to right however pricey if not caught.
One good thought is entrusting the proofreading with a 3rd celebration. The creator, being an excessive amount of hooked up to the work and an skilled within the topic, would possibly miss out figuring out errors she or he dedicated within the first place, or would possibly stay completely comfy with phrases or terminologies that baffle the supposed recipient. If the creator proofreads by himself, it turns into vital to undertake the identical a substantial time hole after completion of the work, and to learn the report from the consumer's perspective.
One other issue that many individuals ignore is making certain the tidiness and look of the completed work. The very best of undertaking studies would fail to impress if it was untidy or missing in look. Adoption of normal easy-to-read fonts, making certain a neat and tidy binding, making ready a lovely cowl design, and extra aesthetic attentions are all small steps that vastly reinforce the undertaking report.

How Jurors Evaluate Fingerprint Evidence: The Relative Importance of Match Language, Method Information, and Error Acknowledgment
Brandon L. Garrett, Duke Law SchoolFollow
Fingerprint examiners use a variety of terms and phrases to describe a finding of a match between a defendant's fingerprints and fingerprint impressions collected from a crime scene. Despite the importance and ubiquity of fingerprint evidence in criminal cases, no prior studies examine how jurors evaluate such evidence. We present two studies examining the impact of different match phrases, method descriptions, and statements about possible examiner error on the weight given to fingerprint identification evidence by laypersons. In both studies, the particular phrase chosen to describe the finding of a match-whether simple and imprecise or detailed and claiming near certainty-had little effect on participants' judgments about the guilt of a suspect. In contrast, the examiner admitting the possibility of error reduced the weight given to the fingerprint evidence-regardless of whether the admission was made during direct or cross-examination. In addition, the examiner providing information about the method used to make fingerprint comparisons reduced the impact of admitting the possibility of error. We found few individual differences in reactions to the fingerprint evidence across a wide range of participant variables, and we found widespread agreement regarding the uniqueness of fingerprints and the reliability of fingerprint identifications. Our results suggest that information about the reliability of fingerprint identifications will have a greater impact on lay interpretations of fingerprint evidence than the specific qualitative or quantitative terms chosen to describe a fingerprint match.

IBM Corp. today said it's teaming up with Hortonworks Inc. in a partnership that will combine IBM's data science offering with Hortonworks' software platform for managing huge amounts of data.
The two companies said the integration was all about helping customers better analyze and manage their data, but it also has some big consequences for IBM, as it means it is effectively giving up on developing its own version of Apache Hadoop, the open-source-based software used for storing, processing and analyzing big data.
IBM Data Science Experience, a collection of some 250 curated data sets along with collaborative tools, enables developers to create machine learning and analytics models quickly and easily. Hortonworks Data Platform is the big-data company's official Apache Hadoop distribution.
The partnership will see Hortonworks resell IBM's Data Science Experience solution alongside HDP. Hortonworks said it will also adopt IBM DSE as its strategic data science platform, which means developers using HDP can now access new capabilities such as machine learning, advanced analytics and statistics.
In return, IBM will adopt HDP as its official Hadoop distribution, and will fully integrate it with IBM Big SQL, which is the company's SQL database engine for Hadoop. The integration means that IBM is giving up on BigInsights, which combines its enterprise capabilities and industry-standard Hadoop components into a single platform, and migrate users to HDP.
In an interview with SiliconANGLE, Rob Thomas, general manager of IBM Analytics, explained that the partnership would help to expand IBM's latest data science strategy that began when it pulled technology from its Watson and IBM DSE offerings and made it available on IBM mainframes earlier this year.
More important, perhaps, is that the deal allows both IBM and Hortonworks to focus on what they do best, Forrester Research Inc. Vice President and Principal Analyst Brian Hopkins told SiliconANGLE. He explained that the partnership frees up IBM to focus on developing its advanced analytics solutions. Meanwhile, Hortonworks gets to add more value to its HDP platform.
Still, said George Gilbert, big data analyst at Wikibon, owned by the same company as SiliconANGLE, Hortonworks will continue to face its own pressures from the big public cloud computing providers.
In a blog post today, Hopkins added that IBM's main problem with Hadoop was a lack of talent. Although IBM insists it has managed to increase the number of open source developers on its books by almost seven times in the past two years, Hopkins contended that the company has trouble attracting the kind of staff with the innovative skills necessary to work on open-source projects. He pointed out that most younger developers tend to prefer to work for upstart companies such as Hortonworks that are challenging the "big boys.: He said it's also a problem for companies such as Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp., because open-source is where all the new growth is, but they cannot compete with the likes of Hortonworks.
"The future of these software giants is tied to how well they can navigate the disruption to their legacy business model which is on premise, scale up, and enterprise-deal centric," Hopkins wrote.
The companies also announced Hortonworks DataFlow for IBM Power Systems, a new platform for running big data and cognitive workloads that should provide users with faster access to data. HDF is a stream processing and streaming analytics platform that complements its HDP platform by accelerating the flow of data into it. IBM PowerSystems is a line of computer servers built on the company's Power Architecture that are designed to run big data workloads.
In addition, IBM and Hortonworks said they will step up their collaborative efforts in the Apache Software Foundation's open-source ecosystem. This includes advancing the development of IBM's Unified Governance solutions on Apache Atlas, which is a scalable governance platform for Hadoop. The idea is to elevate Atlas from its "incubator" status at the ASF to a full, top-level project, so it can be released for open development and deployment.
The companies also said they're planning to expand their work on the Apache Spark data processing engine, and will work with open-source community to standardize security, metadata and data governance around Atlas and Apache Ranger, which is a framework for managing data security on Hadoop.

Syrian Refugees Busted for Planning Terror Attack
No sooner is Thanksgiving over than the Christmas season begins. Already New Germans have been preparing to enrich the multicultural tapestry of their adopted home with festive celebrations:
German police on Tuesday detained six Syrians suspected of planning an attack using weapons or explosives on behalf of the Islamic State militant group, prosecutors said.
What are all these Syrians doing in Germany?
Four of the suspects arrived in Germany in December 2014 and two arrived the following year. All six had applied for asylum.
That is, they are refugees, also known as Islamic colonists, welfare colonists, and "rapefugees," due to their habit of sexually assaulting German women. Angela Merkel has imported over a million of them.
It is the second time this month that Syrians have been arrested on suspicion of planning militant violence. Earlier this month a 19-year-old Syrian man was detained on suspicion of planning a bomb attack.
Readers will recall that an asylum seeker from Tunisia managed to kill 12 in Berlin last year by driving a truck into a Christmas market. That was only a foretaste of Christmases to come.

Calling all Street ET Bracket Racers!!! The 2014 OSRBikes.com Street Bike Shootout schedule is here. Thanks to Steve Daniels and Bunker Hill Dragstrip, we will once again be on tap for 7 points races in 2014. After ending last season with 20+ bikes at the last two races we are very excited for this year. Hopefully the weather will cooperate a little more at the beginning of the year and we can get 7 races with 20+ bikes all season.
OSRBikes.com Street Bike Shootout is a 1/8th mile street ET Bracket race. The rules are simple: Street tire, no wheelie bars or two steps, and a hand activated clutch. Other than that bring out your sport bike, cruiser or Harley and join in on the fun. Entry fee will once again be just $30 to race with a $10 buyback and the purse is based off of bike count. More bikes = More $$$$$ We have scheduled this year's races around the NHDRO and KOTS schedule so hopefully there are no conflicting dates.
Pay close attention to September 6th as that is the Wally race. That's right Bunker Hill is letting the street bikes fight it out for an official NHRA Wally. There are not many tracks around that let the street bikes race for their own Wally Trophy so please take time to show Steve we appreciate letting us have the chance.
Now let's get this snow out of here and GO RACING!


I grew up with Supernova series since it was launched back in 2001. Dee Lestari, as the author, took 15 years to end these series. All big fans of Supernova would impatiently wait for this 6th book, Inteligensi Embun Pagi. I was also curious about the ending and what would happen to all characters of the series.
Well…I have finished the book couple days ago and now I got a mixed feeling. I found something went wrong in this latest book. It's just too thick with many pages that simply could be skipped because I didn't get the point of the writing either. Moreover too many new characters, no deep description of existing characters, lots of 'technical' terms and WHY oh WHY this book turned into a teenager-science-fiction with a mission to save the world? HUGE disappointment.
I guess not only the readers but also the author grew with these series. If we compare each book of Supernova series, we will find differences for each of them, such as the characters, the plot, and others. Every written story will definitely be influenced by author's feeling, surrounding, inspiration, and many more. I don't know whether Dee wrote this latest book in a hurry (since her fans kept asking her to finish this book) or she just wanted to surprise her readers with this unexpected yet disappointing ending.
Still stuck on memories of my last trip to Europe. I experienced lots of things. I kept the best parts and learned from the bad ones. Every trip will definitely give you something to ponder. Since each country has its own specialty therefore I plan to write several different posts about this memorable journey.
When Indonesian talk about Europe trip, Paris will be the center of the destination. Yes, most of Indonesian even associate Europe with Paris. No wonder that Indonesian prefer to go to West Europe (since Paris is there) instead of East Europe (Austria, Slovakia, Prague, etc) that actually also has many beautiful places.
Paris that morning was really wet. Although it's already March but it turned out that the weather was still really cold. In fact I still saw some snow in Netherland and Germany. No wonder if the temperature could go down to 2 Celcius degree combined with strong wind and rain. Freezing cold. But that day, since the excitement was really high to witness one of the best West European icons so we could simply beat the rain and cold weather.
We walked along the area. Amazed to see the old buildings that have been there for ages and how they have long history for each of them. Curious about the Louvre Museum but the queuing was quite long and the museum itself is HUGE --it's said that you can spend three days to explore all parts of the museum and its great collection-- then I decided to just see the place from outside.
Ended the Paris trip by visiting its popular shopping centers such as Galeries Lafayette and Champ Elysees (and stunned for its luxurious design and...price, hahaha) but I also dropped by at a chic outlet, La Valle Village, they offered branded items with affordable price. You can have a good discount and tax refund. I will write about these shopping experiences in a different post.
We stayed in Kyriad Torcy Hotel, Torcy, France. An old hotel but I loved it since the location is next to Carrefour so I could buy lots of necessary things with good price such as things to cook (my friend brought a magic jar so we could always have rice, mie gelas or indomie and chocolate for the souvenirs). One of the ways to manage your expenses.
Just returned from a 10-day-trip to West Europe. It's a kind of sudden idea actually. During our lunch, my friend suddenly asked me to have a trip together to Europe and I just simply said, well...okay, why not? I never thought that the trip could be executed this year. Yet it seemed the universe conspired to make it came true. All was very smooth. The Schengen visa, the sudden leaves approved, the hubby and girls' approval also obtained (since it's the first time that I left them for 10 days). Unbelievable.
I started the journey from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Luxembourg, Paris, Frankfurt, Koln, Venice, Rome and it ended in Vatican. A bit ambitious trip actually. I could go to three countries in one day. Having breakfast in Amsterdam, lunch in Brussels and dinner in Paris. Still I enjoyed all moments. Embracing the uniqueness of each country.
From ten cities I visited, my favorite is Venice, Italy. The city is magical. Just like living in a fantasy island. Hope to get back there someday. Not only Venice but I do dream to explore other parts of Italy such as: Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre and Bologna. All of them having their own specialty. Although lots of people say, beware of Italy, pickpockets are everywhere, but it doesn't stop me to love the city and plan to revisit it. Someday.

Health diplomacy
As globalization progresses, it is becoming clear that matters which were once confined to national policy are now issues of global impact and concern. Pandemics, newly emerging communicable diseases and threats of bioterrorism are now clearly understood as direct threats to national and global security. The strategic relevance of health has changed, as health has become an integral part of economic, geopolitical, security, and social justice agendas, including human rights and domestic-foreign policy, among other emerging agendas. Policies in the areas outside of the health sector, such as trade and economic development, now need to be complemented by those in the areas of environment and health.
In a changing global context health diplomacy represents an important forum for negotiations on global policy issues that shape and influence the global environment for health. It brings together a wide range of actors in areas that affect public health. The main goals of health diplomacy are: 1) better health security and population health; 2) improved relations between states and a commitment of a wide range of actors to work together to improve health; and 3) achievement of outcomes that are deemed fair and support the goals of reducing poverty and increasing equity.
Many examples show that health diplomacy works and that the alignment of health and foreign policy can generate significant benefits for health. There is an increasing recognition of health as a goal of foreign policy and as a key contributor to development, peace, poverty reduction, social justice and human rights.

In this work, nanocrystals of NaA zeolite with crystallite sizes ranging from 70-120 nm were synthesized. Nano crystalline NaA zeolites were prepared using sodium aluminosilicate solution and tetramethylammonium hydroxide organic template. The crystal species were characterized byX-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and morphology of the zeolites subjected to crystallization was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). At this research, the zeolite crystallinity 89% was obtained. The effect of water content on crystal size was studied and the results showed that the crystal size decreases with decreasing the water content.

Palestine's only startup accelerator Fast Forward announces its second class
Eric Reidy • 28 January, 2014
Palestine's first startup accelerator, Fast Forward, announced its second class on January 20th. The new group of startups focuses on tech-based solutions to a variety of issues, ranging from digital music distribution to bringing the cash economy into the digital age.
Four teams were selected from a pool of 75 applicants in a rigorous, two-phase application process. They are now embarking on an intensive, four-month long acceleration that aims to bring the nascent businesses to market readiness.
Incentivized fan promotion for indie music
One of the teams represents a collaboration between veterans of the Palestinian indie music scene that is developing an innovative, online platform to help musicians and bands reach audiences.
The project, still untitled, is about "giving indie musicians and bands ways to distribute their music through their fans," according to CEO Abed Hathout, who is also a member of the band Khalas, known for its use of crowdfunding.
Drawing inspiration from gaming strategies and online music sharing, the team's interface will provide incentives to fans for promoting their favorite artists' music through social media. The platform will be free for bands to use. "Any band can upload their album, forget about it, and just make money," says Nihad Aw, the project's web developer.
The team believes dedicated fans can be the best promoters of their favorite music. "As a music lover, it's something I would love to do," Hathout says.
The idea has traction beyond the MENA region, according to Mahmoud Jarere, the project's founder and member of the Palestinian hip hop group DAM. The team members are planning on leveraging their networks to promote their concept to indie music lovers around the world.
Sufraty
Another team is working on a social network for food and recipe sharing called Sufraty, or 'my dining' in English. The website, which has already been activated, allows users to post photos and recipes for their followers and friends to like and share. In the future, professional chefs will have pages and profiles with which users can interact.
While there are several other food and recipe sharing social networks in the region, like Shahiya and Foodlve, what sets Sufraty apart, according to co-founder Jaafar Abu Sair, is that they are working on a mobile app, which neither of the other sites have done yet. Further, Sufraty is "simple, social, interactive, and Arabic," he says, pointing out that Foodlve is in English and Shahiya is not social or interactive enough.
The team expects to generate revenue from premium accounts that provide access to more features, as well as advertising and company sponsors. The Sufraty team's plan is to use their time at Fast Forward to build a mobile application, and to attract more users.
Seen Lab
A third team is developing an online interface, called Seen Lab, to connect tutors with pupils. "Think of it as a huge knowledge base with live streaming on demand," says CEO Rami Mansour.
The platform will work by connecting verified tutors with knowledge seekers in interactive online sessions. The team is initially focusing on cultivating a network of tutors in music and computer programming. Once they flesh out these two niches, they will expand the platform to include other skills.
Drawing inspiration from Cosera and Skill Share, Mansour and his team are focusing on Arabic content for the MENA region so as to improve access to knowledge and the ways it is transferred.
During the Fast Forward acceleration process, the team will be focusing on reaching more countries, and turning the concept into a vibrant online community, Mansour says. "We had great ideas," he adds. "We needed somebody to… accelerate those ideas."
feeKash
The final team is working on a solution to overcome obstacles to online purchasing and reservation-making in the MENA region, where 80 percent of people either don't have bank accounts or aren't sufficiently served by their banks, according to the project's co-founder and CEO Rasha Ali.
The startup, called feeKash, is working on developing a strong network of merchants who will serve as payment points for online purchases. Users will be able to make an online purchase or reservation and then go to a local merchant to pay.
"Basically, we help businesses extend their physical presence and further their markets," Ali explains.
Local merchants will also benefit because they will receive a percentage of the sale and walk-ins from feeKash users.
The team is launching the concept in Palestine to pilot the technology, but plans to expand throughout the MENA region.
Fast Forward's new class will be going through a restructured program focused on weekly modules. Each module will cover different skills, such as business pitching, marketing, product development, and user experience, that will help build the teams' capacities, according to Peter Abualzolof, Fast Forward's new coordinator.
The new structure is meant to recognize that the projects involved are early stage startups. As such, the participants still need training and development, Abualzolof says.
But despite the refocusing, Fast Forward's overall goal remains the same: to develop successful Palestinian tech startups so as to pave the way for a growing entrepreneurial ecosystem in Palestine.

Mega Millions jackpot rises to $750 million after no winner

A man walks his dog past lottery signs Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021, displaying the recent jackpot amounts in Chicago's fames Loop. Lottery players have a chance to win the largest jackpots in nearly two years as Tuesday's Mega Millions has grown to an estimated $625 million and Wednesday's Powerball to an estimated $550 million.

DES MOINES, Iowa (NewsNation Now) — No winners claimed the eighth-largest jackpot in U.S. history Tuesday night, raising the Mega Millions prize up to $750 million.
The next winning numbers for the Mega Millions jackpot will be drawn Friday at 11 p.m. EST.
Thanks to months without a winner of the big prize, Tuesday night's Mega Millions jackpot was $625 million, the largest lottery prize in nearly two years. The big prize for Powerball, the other national lottery game, isn't far behind, at $550 million for Wednesday night's drawing.
The winning numbers in Tuesday night's drawing of the Mega Millions game were: 12-14-26-28-33, Mega Ball: 09.
Couple using same lottery numbers for 26 years wins jackpot
The jackpots promoted by lotteries refer to the winnings of those who opt for annuities paid out over 30 years. Nearly all jackpot winners actually take the cash option, which would be an estimated $550.6 million for Friday's Mega Millions and $411.4 million for Wednesday's Powerball.
Those dreaming of instant riches might want to remember that the odds of winning Powerball are one in 292.2 million. They're even steeper for Mega Millions, at one in 302.5 million.
Mega Millions and Powerball are both played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Powerball also is offered in Puerto Rico.


Discussion in 'Amps and Cabs' started by m1k337, Apr 20, 2016.
I'm looking to pull some classic american tweed tones out off my JTM45. I know the two amps share similar builds. What I am running at the moment is a 4x12 g12h30 and love it. I have an old Bassman cab from '63-'64 with an old oxford and an unmarked speaker that was at sometime swapped with the other original oxford. So I'm looking for 2x12 speakers that will get me in that warm tweed neighborhood.
The 2x12 is closed back but I'm also thinking of making it open back to be more true. I know the old ones used 4x10 p10r's, and sometimes Q's. Anyways I'm looking for a 12 incher that will get me in this ball park, I don't know a whole lot about the Jensen's, I've been recommended the c12n's before, but I have also read they can be ice-pick-y.
My first instinct was the p12r, I also know many manufactures make their own replicas, I'm looking for something that will retain the character of the classic tweed amps. I want something that will be warm and still maintain the fender sparkle, but not harsh. Maybe something that could compliment the g12h30s, if I happen to use them in conjunction. I use a Stratocaster, I have recently put new GoldLion KT66's in. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
If you can find somebody making a P12Q you'd probably be a little better off.... Only because of wattage. Having blown two Weber P10Rs with a Vibrolux Reverb, I'm always hesitant to recommend lower wattage speakers.
I will say, I recently picked up an older Eminence 1228 that I threw in my 5e3. It really made the 5e3 sound a lot like my '59 Bassman RI. My BMRI has the Jensen P10R RIs in it. If you can find some of those Eminences (they were discontinued, I'm sad to say), I can recommend them.

The remit of your Sabbatical Officers could be changing after students gave their feedback about the four roles and what they should cover.
Between September and December students have been telling the SU what changes they would like to see to each of the Sabb's jobs. The two rounds of consultations has brought new remits for each officer and you get the final say whether we keep the old roles or change to the new ones.
If you vote yes in the referendum you are voting for the new structure of each officer which will be: Union President, President (Wellbeing), President (Sport and Engagement) and President (Development).
The Wellbeing and Education remits have been split.
The President role remains the University governor, however it has been assigned to have a specific academic experience remit.
The Student Activities remit has been enhanced with the specific objective of student development, whilst groups of societies have been spread across the roles depending on their representational need, to ensure better and more targeted representation.
The Sport role has been enhanced to support all sporting activity.
If you choose to vote no you will be voting to keep the current roles, which are: Union President, President (Education and Wellbeing), President (Sport) and President (Student Activities).
Students asked for the roles to be reviewed to meet their ever changing needs so it's important as many vote as possible.
A minimum or 250 students need to take part to make the vote count and a simple majority will decide which structure is implemented. Voting shouldn't take longer than 60 seconds.
To find out more and to cast your vote visit the referendum page here.

POMPANO BEACH: CITY OFFICIALS URGE RESIDENTS TO COMPLETE 2020 CENSUS; CRITICAL FEDERAL FUNDING AT STAKE
Only about half of Pompano Beach households have responded to the 2020 Census to date, putting millions of dollars in federal funding for the city at risk.
LOCAL NEWS 2020-08-26
LOCAL NEWS / August 26, 2020 /	1.3k
BY MARIE PULEO | POMPANO BEACH NEWS REPORTER
POMPANO BEACH: The deadline to respond to the 2020 Census is Sept. 30, and as of this week, nearly half of Pompano Beach households have not responded to the census questionnaire. City officials are urging all households to do their part to ensure an accurate count so Pompano Beach can get its fair share of federal funding for the next 10 years.
Census data is used to distribute more than $675 billion in federal funds to states and communities each year for a variety of needs, including hospitals, education, national school lunch programs, infrastructure and emergency services.
"If we don't have a complete count, there's a possibility we may not get the funding we need from the federal government," said Assistant City Manager Brian Donovan, who is overseeing the City's census initiative.
In addition, census results determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and are used to draw congressional and state legislative districts. Florida gained two congressional seats as a result of the 2010 Census.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of Aug. 24, just over 50% of the households in Pompano Beach had completed the 2020 Census questionnaire using self-response options (online, by phone or by mail). On a national level, approximately 93 million (64.5%) of all households in the country had self-responded to the census. The self-response rate for Florida was at 61.1%.
Earlier this month, census workers began following up in person with households nationwide that have not yet responded to the census on their own.
In the 2010 Census, the total response rate for Pompano Beach was 68% of households.
An undercount of 14,600 residents in the 2010 Census cost Broward County approximately $21.1 million per year, or $210,970,000 over the last decade, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
In the private sector, census data is used by businesses to identify markets, select business locations, make investment decisions and assess labor markets. Nonprofit organizations rely on census data to apply for certain grants, and to better understand and serve the needs of their program participants.
In the past, the deadline to respond to the census was July 31, but earlier this year the U.S. Census Bureau extended the deadline to October 31 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then in August, the deadline to complete the census was rolled back to Sept. 30.
Daniel Keester-O'Mills, one of the city's principal planners, has been working with the Pompano Beach Complete Count Committee to let the community know about the importance of the census, and to make sure everyone participates, especially in typically hard to count areas.
Last week, Pompano Beach residents began receiving text messages and prerecorded phone messages reminding them to complete their census form. The messages are in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
"We want to make sure we get our 50% response rate to near 100% between now and Sept. 30," said Keester-O'Mills.
The census form can be completed online, by phone or by mail. The Census Bureau estimates that completing the questionnaire takes 10 minutes on average. Answers can only be used to produce statistics, and not for law enforcement purposes.
All Census Bureau employees swear a lifetime oath to protect respondent data, which, by federal law, is kept confidential for 72 years. Census workers are subject to a fine of up to $250,000 and/or a federal prison sentence of up to five years for disclosing, during or after employment, any information that could identify an individual respondent or household.
The U.S. Constitution mandates that everyone in the country be counted every 10 years.

Paul Morris Birmingham canal (West Midlands Police)
Police patrol canal in bid to uncover new evidence which may explain cyclist's death
Last night's patrols follow the release of CCTV footage which shows Paul Morris riding his bike moments before his body was found in the canal
by Ryan Mallon
Wed, Jan 12, 2022 10:56
West Midlands Police patrolled a Birmingham canal yesterday in a bid to uncover new information related to the death of a cyclist in the area last month.
The body of Paul Morris was discovered at around 6.15pm on Tuesday 21 December at the junction of Ledsam Street and Ladywood Middleway, in Ladywood, west of the city centre.
In CCTV footage released by the police last week, the 65-year-old can be seen riding his bike along the towpath shortly before his body was found.
Morris' death is currently being treated as unexplained after a forensic post-mortem examination was inconclusive. However, police do not believe there is anything to suggest foul play was involved.
#ICYMI | Officers are patrolling the canal in Birmingham this evening, speaking to members of public to see if anyone has any information on the death of Paul Morris.
Mr Morris' body was recovered from the canal three weeks ago, and we need your help to determine what happened⬇ https://t.co/bzQwcFm8EG
— Birmingham Police (@brumpolice) January 11, 2022
Yesterday evening police officers patrolled the canal network, speaking to members of the public to discover if anyone has information which may shed light on how Morris died.
Last week Detective Inspector Ade George launched a public appeal aimed at giving Morris' family "the answers they need".
"There is very little CCTV along this stretch of the canal so I'm asking for anyone who was around the area between 5pm and 7pm on the evening, to get in touch," DI George said in a statement.
"Our thoughts are with Mr Morris' family at this really sad time."
Anyone with information can contact West Midlands Police via the Live Chat on their website, quoting reference number 3308 of 21/12/2021.

validation testing
that is defined as certification and accreditation by the federal government's
validating that implemented systems are configured and operating as inspected. So there is a whole risk management framework process out there that the federal government goes through a CZ part of their validation. Their certification and accreditation process, also known as the assessment and authorization process
that goes through
a robust set of security controls on how they're implemented and how their excess, making sure that they're implemented correctly, operating as intended and producing the desired outcome
that is required for those security controls. So that's the whole part of the validation testing
when you go there for compliance purposes. So during the system development lifecycle, these places need to be making sure that they're going through that same accreditation process that the federal government is going through to maintain.
You know, the ease of transition when you're going through these processes, because if they're developing, you know, unsecure components that are not going through these the rigorous testing that the federal government goes through, it's going to be harder to sell and get their products implemented in the federal government system. So
that's the whole part of this validation testing that you see out there
is that they're requiring during the system development life cycle that they're using. The same process is that you know, the D. O. D. And the federal government uses for their acceptance criteria to bring those systems in acceptance. Testing. You have two types of assistant acceptance testing.
One is black box, and that's testing under the assumption that the inner logic is not
So you must examine the inputs and outputs. So that's where there you have no knowledge of the software. You're testing it from a
adversarial perspective. You know, trying to run sequel commands are injection techniques into, you know, the Web application, the test to see what kind of inputs and outputs that you received from the system. That, of course, you have the white box texting, which you use when the code or the inner workings of the application are known,
s so that's when you're testing it, where you you know what the code is built. You know what's deliverable when you're just testing it for the functionality that make sure that it is delivering what you say and what you have programmed to. D'oh!
So there are a couple different security
Impala implications. During the development process,
you have three different processes that are used out there for development. She have the agile, the waterfall and the spiral agile. You know, each
person early in a product is coded individually and then brought together. Waterfall is where one step is done and continually flows down the process to give you your delivery ble
agile with a lower case,
uh, to emphasize that this word is not a proper now
eyes a collection of related ideas all premised on a single essential observation.
The requirement for most software are not known ahead of time and cannot be known ahead of time. It will change before you're finished. So it is basically been around for a long time.
Part of the manifesto for agile software developments. So for the requirements, you don't know you're just working on a small piece
of that requirements. So you don't know what the end outcome is going to be, and it's just gonna be put together. They're the end before you're finished and it's going to change over time. That's the whole part of being the agile software development.
so individuals and interactions over processes and Tools, the working software over comprehensive documentation, customer collaboration over contract negotiation and responding to change following a plan.
So you're looking at those individuals and interactions over the processes of tools being used. Comprehensive documentation, the working software, how it works,
the collaboration from the contracts from the customers,
making sure that you know during the negotiation, you know, this is what they want. These air deliver bols that are met and then, of course, responding the changes following a plan. You know, customer's change your mind. It's going to change over time, deliver balls or pushed back yester Customer wants this instead of this. You know it's during the development process. Things change.
How do you respond to those changes?
You know, Do you have a plan for those changes effect. You know what you're doing within the system,
The goal of agile is to embrace uncertain requirements, focus on an incremental improvements,
release early and often get feedback as soon as possible,
and to reiterate Google Comb releases a new version every six weeks.
They're going to release. They're going a bit Crume every six weeks.
Why? Because they want to get it out there. They want to do small changes, small, incremental improvements over time. Instead of doing and waiting to do a quarterly rollout where they might have 60 or 70 security features that have been improved. They might do it in every six weeks where they doing little bits and pieces at a time.
So in case something happens or something changes
down the road, they could make those changes pretty quickly.
So you have your deliverables.
For that, you have your requirements that are defined in the
the very first stages. You know that's implemented here by the blue section.
Then you have your design phase
portrayed there in yellow,
then the implementation quality assurance and and finally, the acceptance test. When you deliver it so you can see all those little bits and pieces,
you know, go back and forth, you know they go implementation, do some quality assurance testing from the customer, go back to mawr implementation and design features back to the customer, you know, for the implementation of quality assurance and you see it's an ever changing
you know realm when you meet the delivery bols.
The waterfall model is the classic enterprise development model.
All high level activities, requirements planning que es
proceed in basically a lockstep no design documents, for example, until the requirement phase is completely done. Projects are typically one or more years in duration where you're meeting that one requirements before you're locked into the to the next step.
So they define all the requirements before they can even remove
move to the high level design.
So once the high level design is done and they transition into their detailed design. So, as I said, it's not a changing process when it gets delivered. So it's This is what we do. This is what the customer wants. This is what they decided on. This is our design documentation,
our implementation quality assurance than final acceptance. There's no change that goes back and forth between into what you get at the delivery. Ble is what you get.
Spiral is great for large products.
Each face has a design goal and ends with a client. Review.
Analysis and engineering are applied in each project. Phase risk assessment is conducted in each phase very slow and link Lee to complete.
So when you're looking at the spiral making sure that you, you know, handle that, yes, it is very thorough. Risk assessments are done, but it's very complete.
They're delivered, you know, with what the customer wants,
the secure development life cycle and many discussions of software development. Life cycles security isn't mentioned.
So now we're wanting them to provide US security delivered
in the life cycle. When it in the planning face, we want people thinking about We want developers thinking about security up front instead of delivering us a piece of equipment that's wide open and has a lot of security vulnerabilities that we now, as security engineers and security practitioners, have to lock down and harden
to our regulatory requirements. We want to make our threats.
They call it the attack surface from being the size of a 16 inch pizza down to maybe a small nine inch pizza. You know, helping that security come down to a smaller level that's more manageable from the organization side
Too often, security is treated as an afterthought.
Um,
accreditation is usually started only after a system is completely finished. So during the r M F process in the
federal government and the d o d ah, the accreditation process is once the system is completely finishing and installed, it starts its accreditation process. It starts looking at security were wanting to change that. So when the R. M F was updated this you know, in the last couple of years
they're requiring these organizations to look at Service's and acquisitions
in the forefront and put information security as a discreet line item budget. You know, we want security upfront in that contract. Written that what? Making sure that what we get the deliver to us is as secure as possible. So it makes our job easier A security professionals to lock down those systems.
So how security works in most organizations,
so organizations they look at Okay, we look at our business requirements.
We gather all the business requirements. What are they required to do?
You know, high level design, sketch something out. You know, this is where our design would go into a detailed design, implementation quality assurance, and then we start our security accreditation at the organization level.
That's the way it's working. We don't want to be there. We want to have security controls and security accreditation moved to the earlier phases of the system development lifecycle to incorporate security upfront versus there at the end.
So this is how security ought to work. So, you know, we gather the business requirements, right?
We look at that high level design,
you know, overview
what? Security requirements are gonna be required for delivery. You know, the customer requires this That requires this type of security, you know, making sure of it's a web application. And, uh, here's to all the old WASP security stuff for the Web applications security protocols. You know, we want to make sure that they handle all that stuff in that design process.
Then it goes down into detail design
documentation. This is where they're designing the software that coating the software. So we want to do that. Secure Design review. Secure Design Review can be done in a couple ways. It could be a peer to peer review where you hand off your code to another Pierre.
They review the code for Ares security flaws
and other type of flows that might be associated with,
you know, that system are you can use, like a program like fortify or something that runs and you put your code through. And it spits out a report of any open calls or any vulnerabilities that finds within the code itself So it could be done manually or automated, you know, for the code reviews.
But that's what we're requiring them to do. That, of course, during the implementation,
we're gonna make sure we do another code review and testing, doing an actual penetration test on the code, running it against some vulnerabilities to see if we can exploit it
and, of course, the quality assurance. And then we start our
accreditation or authorization process
because we know we have a delivered
product that is remotely secured, so that's the way it should work.

These ideas for Halloween learning centers from Pocket of Preschool are charming and fun, with ideas for making letters, writing, numbers, colors and more.
I love the witch's brew counting activity, which is a free printable and can be assembled with dollar store items (some of the activities are linked to her Teachers Pay Teachers page).
There's so much cute stuff here that your little ones are sure to love, with a Halloween theme that isn't at all creepy but is all kinds of fun.

Week 17 Shore Thing Sleepers
December 30, 2022 December 31, 2022 by IBT Media Staff
"Shore Thing Sleepers" isn't your ordinary fantasy football Week 17 start/sit article. Instead, our analyst duo of Seth Woolcock and Nate Polvogt highlight lower-valued players that can provide starting-caliber production for a specific week. These are usually players near the end of your bench or even on the waiver wire/free agency. You can catch an additional sleeper pick live at the end of our weekly in-season Friday podcast episode.
Rostership percentages are based on ESPN Points Per Reception (PPR) redraft fantasy football leagues.
Week 17 Start/Sit Consideration: Shore Thing Sleepers
Isaiah Hodgins (WR, New York Giants) | 4.8 Percent
Quietly, Isaiah Hodgins has been a PPR WR1 over the past month. Defenders aren't respecting him, as shown in his 5.81 average cushion (No. 1 amongst WRs). And Daniel Jones is making them pay, delivering balls at an 88.1 catchable target rate (sixth-best amongst WRs).
With Jones coming off a career-high in completions (30) and Hodgins seeing a career-high 12 targets last week, I like his chances against Colts, who have been the best matchup for opposing WRs over the last month. – Seth Woolcock
Trenton Irwin (WR, Cincinnati Bengals) | 0.2 Percent
While he's not a household name, Bengals wideout Trenton Irwin has entered the fantasy football conversation over the last few weeks. Thrust into the spotlight thanks to a slew of injuries, he has done as much as you would hope for with the unexpected opportunity.
Since making his 2022 debut in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns, Irwin has been targeted a career-high 21 times, catching 14 of those passes for 219 yards and four touchdowns. While not especially impressive on it's own, he has three games with double-digit PPR point totals. Last week, he logged 19.5 PPR points and two touchdowns against the Patriots.
This week, the Bengals host the Buffalo Bills. This game could determine who gets a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs. The Bills' secondary has been middle-of-the-road of late. There are a lot of mouths to feed in this high-powered Cincinnati offense. However, Irwin has proven to be a reliable deep threat and is a candidate to snag another touchdown this week. While his fantasy floor is as low as they come, his boom potential is undeniable. Considering he is rostered in less than one percent of ESPN leagues, he's worth a free roster add and a potential FLEX play on this championship Sunday. – Nate Polvogt
