The Amuri Basin is a large inland comparatively flat basin formed by the outwash gravels of the Waiau and Hurunui Rivers between the Southern Alps and the Lowry Range in North Canterbury, New Zealand. The Amuri Basin is home to approximately 1647 people who live in and around the small towns of Culverden, Rotherham and Waiau.
The Amuri Irrigation Company Limited (AIC) takes water from the Waiau River and the Hurunui River. These are the largest rivers in the Hurunui District. The Waiau River feeds the Waiau and Waiareka schemes via two intakes and the Hurunui River feeds the Balmoral scheme.
The Waiau River has a total catchment of 3,310km² and is the second largest in North Canterbury (1,980km² of that catchment is above the AIC Waiau scheme intake). The river rises in the Spenser Mountains and flows eastward to the Pacific Ocean. The upper reaches of the catchment is dominated by native vegetation, and the middle and lower reaches (particularly in the Amuri Basin) is dominated by beef and sheep finishing, cropping and dairy farming.
For Ngāti Kuri, the Waiau-uha (the Waiau River) is connected through whakapapa to Waiau-toa (the Clarence River). The Waiau river in legend is the female spirit of the inland mountains and the Waiau-toa is the male. Moving from the Spenser Mountains and Miromiro (Jollies Pass) the Waiau meets the Waiau-toa then the waters become separated. As the Waiau-uha laments the parting, her tears fall as warm rain to melt alpine snows swelling both rivers to massive proportions. The water flows from the Waiau River is an important factor in the ecological health and biodiversity of the river and coastal resources.
The Hurunui River is one of high ecological and environmental significance and is prized by fisherman and nature lovers alike. It is probably the most diverse of Canterbury's large rivers with both snow and lake sources of flow. There are two main branches; the north branch which is sourced predominantly from Lake Sumner and the south branch which flows from the Southern Alps at Harpers Pass. It is 150km long and has a total catchment of 2,671km²with 1,070km² of that catchment area of above the AIC irrigation intake.
The Hurunui and its numerous tributaries flow through alpine regions, hill country and lowland plains and encompasses a diversity of physical features such as braided alluvial flats, steep gorge sections and intermontane Basins such as the Amuri. The Hurunui is considered a river of high conservation value and is noted for its trout and salmon fishery value. The river is also used extensively for other recreational activities such as kayaking, jet boating and swimming. A diversity of land uses are represented with the upper catchment largely pristine beech forest and low intensity pastoral hill farming. Whereas the middle catchment is predominantly grazed pasture and woody native vegetation. The Amuri Basin contains sheep, beef and dairy farming as well as plantation forestry.
The takiwā (geographical interests) of two Ngāi Tahu hapu (sub tribes) straddle the Hurunui and Waiau river catchments. The Hurunui River once provided an important mahingā kai resource for Ngāi Tahu. The river was particularly known for its tuna (eel) and inaka (whitebait). Nohoanga (settlements) were located at points along the length of the Hurunui river with some wāhi tapu located near the mouth. There is a statutory acknowledgement on both the Hurunui River and Hoka Kura (Lake Sumner).

Some people actually want to ban that completely. I'm positing a slightly less drastic alternative.
Same effect in reality though. What political party is going to let someone run off the list to an electoral by-election, if it means they lose a seat in the house?
Graeme Edgeler, in reply to Kyle Matthews, 14:37 Dec 1, 2011
What political party is going to let someone run off the list to an electoral by-election, if it means they lose a seat in the house?
One that wants to win it :-)
One that doesn't want Judith Tizard or Paul Quinn to return from the list?
But won't they just pick some future star who's a likely for the next election, but didn't make the list cut this year, and make them do it?
But won't they just pick some future star who's a likely for the next election, but didn't make the list cut this year, and make them do it?
At least, that was my theory in the Mana By-election. People were arguing that MPs should be banned from running in by-elections, and I thought that that was unwise.
Hekia Parata ran in Mana in 2008. She had an electorate office and presence in Mana throughout the 2008-2011 term. Having worked up a relationship with the community in Mana it would have been wrong to force National (if it wanted to contest the by-election) to select a new candidate who would contest the by-election only, or to force Parata to resign.
There is no requirement for a list MP elected at a by-election to be replaced as a list MP, but if people have a concern about the process by which the voters of Mt Albert might vote for Phil Twyford and get Judith Tizard, having a rule that this doesn't happen seems to be a good way of doing it. If a party really did want a replacement list MP, it could get one, but only if the list MP resigned to contest the by-election, not if they resigned after winning the by-election.
Rich of Observationz, 14:23 Dec 2, 2011
In that hypothetical situation, people would have elected Phil as an electorate MP and because he is a member of the Labour Party, got their next list person elected, who happened to be Judith Tizard.
If they didn't like that, they could have voted for another candidate. If the Labour party felt that Judith was such a bad candidate, they could have not selected her to the list. (She was my MP when I lived in Auckland, could see much wrong with her. Didn't actually *vote* for her or anything - I voted for Nandor).

In this episode, we discuss what comics would be good to get new readers into the hobby. We look at titles in different genres and do our best to qualify them for the types of readers we feel would be interested. We hope you enjoy it!
Tonight we celebrated our one year anniversary...one full year of spreading the Vitamin Geek love! We're glad you've been listening and we hope you enjoy all the great things we have lined up for you! Be sure to come see us at Chattacon. We'll be doing a live panelcast at 3:00 pm on Saturday 1/25!


We took a few quick moments out of Nikki's day to ask a few questions before we join her at her studio on May 15th for the first ever PERSPECTIVE: Shift jewelry edition.
Nikki is a full time jewelry artist/bench jeweler here in Colorado.
Nikki has always had a strong interest in jewelry and body adornment from a young age. As a child she would create jewelry using a variety of materials and found objects. She found inspiration while exploring her grandmother's jewelry collection, from the different styles, materials, patterns, and shapes of every unique piece.
While studying Interior Design in college, she took a metalsmithing class and fell in love. She switched her area of focus and in 2006 recieved her BFA in Jewelry & Metalsmithing.
PERSPECTIVE: This is a really broad question, but why do you do what you do?
NIKKI: I don't quite know how to answer this…. I guess I've always been creative and I've explored many creative outlets. After trying multiple mediums and art forms, I found that metalsmithing was the best way for me to communicate my ideas and to express myself. I really enjoy using techniques, tools, and metals that have been used for thousands of years.
PERSPECTIVE: How do you work?
NIKKI: I tend to work a little different than some artists. I don't really sketch or come up with full collections and lines based on one thing that inspires me. I normally start by working with metal in the raw form. While working on a piece, I normally get an idea. From there I sketch it out, and then go back to it later when I have time. I have stacks of designs and ideas and photos on my phone from "sketching" out with metal pieces that I can later reference. In the end everything has a cohesive feel, but comes from an unplanned place. I normally think of one of a kind pieces while working on production work. I also randomly get ideas in inconvenient places such as while driving or when I'm out being active.
P: How'd you get to where you are today? What's your background?
N: I received my BFA in Jewelry & Metalsmithing in undergraduate school, and after graduation went on to manage a jewelry store, teach at multiple non-profit arts organizations, and I started figuring out a production line. A few years out of college I moved to Colorado and took a unplanned break from making and teaching. So jewelry in general. I started to pursue a Master's degree in Arts Administration, and after getting into that decided that I really missed making jewelry. I found a new job as a bench jeweler for a small local jewelry company, and that inspired me to get back into jewelry. I started renting a studio space in River North Arts District, and worked on developing some new ideas. I finished my Master's last summer and from there I launched my business and I pretty much make jewelry full time. I do still work a few days a week as a bench jeweler for someone else, and I also run my own business on the opposite days.
P: Congrats on getting your master's! That's a HUGE accomplishment! With so much experience, what work do you most enjoying doing?
N: My favorite thing is making one-of-a-kind statement pieces where I can experiment with my ideas on a slightly larger scale.
P: Who is your favorite artist?
N: This is a tough question. I don't really have one favorite. I would say Piet Mondrian, Mark Ryden, SWOON, and Richard Serra, Alexander Calder, Victor Vasarely, and Bridget Riley to name a few.
P: As we discussed a little earlier, your inspiration comes from a lot of different places, but we're still going to ask, what inspires you?
N: Another hard question, since there are so many things that do! I think I'm really inspired being around other artists who work in a variety of mediums and medias, and are really pursuing a full time career. It's really inspirational to be around such a strong support group across the country. Other things that I draw inspiration from are geometry, industrial spaces and landscapes, patterns, textures, and nature.
P: Final question… What is your dream project?
N: One dream project is be collaborating with another artist, or a few artists, and creating a body of work that is left open to play. Nothing being preplanned. Another would be creating one of a kind pieces, or a body of work and presenting it for a museum exhibition.

Q: Returning to main menu (nested lists, c++) I have the following code and am trying to figure out how to have the option to return to the main menu by hitting any key, as long as the quit option isn't chosen. I assume something with this while loop is how it is done, but when I execute the code it terminates after 1 iteration. I'm just learning c++ so I'm not quite sure how to navigate through this problem.
//Runs a program with a menu that the user can navigate through different options with via text input

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char userinp;
    cout<<"Here is the menu:" << endl;
    cout<<"Help(H)      addIntegers(A)      subDoubles(D)           Quit(Q)";

    cin >> userinp;
    userinp = tolower(userinp);
    int count = 1;
    while (count == 1)
    {
        if (userinp == 'h')
        {
            cout <<"This is the help menu. Upon returning to the main menu, input A or a to add 2 intergers." << endl;
            cout <<"Input D or d to subtract 2 doubles. Input Q or q to quit.";
            count = 1;
            return count;
        }

        else if (userinp == 'a')
        {
            int a, b, result;
            cout <<"Enter two integers:";
            cin >> a >> b;
            result = a + b;
           cout << "The sum of " << a << " + " << b << " = " << result;
            count = 1;
        return count;
        }
        else if (userinp == 'd')
        {
            double a, b, result;
            cout <<"Enter two integers:";
            cin >> a >> b;
            result = a - b;
            cout << "The difference of " << a << " - " << b << " = " << result;
            count = 1;
            return count;
       }
       else if (userinp == 'q')
       {
            exit(0);
       }
       else
       {
            cout <<"Please input a valid character to navigate the menu - input the letter h for the help menu";
            cout << "Press any key to continue";
            count = 1;
            return count;
       }

    }
}

A: remove
else
       {
            cout <<"Please input a valid character to navigate the menu - input the letter h for the help      menu";
            cout << "Press any key to continue";
            count = 1;
            return count;
       }

and  instead of while(count == 1) change it to while(true)//which means continously loop until q is pressed
also have this part inside while loop i.e
  while(true)
{
    cout<<"Here is the menu:" << endl;
    cout<<"Help(H)      addIntegers(A)      subDoubles(D)           Quit(Q)";

    cin >> userinp;
    userinp = tolower(userinp);
}

to have a prompt  for continue:
1.add bool cond =true;(before while(true))
2.change while(true) to while(cond)
3.add this else block  after else if (userinp == 'q')  block
else
 {          char ch;
            cout << "Press y to continue";
            cin>>ch;
            if(ch=='y')
        {
         cond =true;
        }
else
{
cond =false;
exit(0);
}

       }

Have you ever raised money for a charity by getting people to sponsor you or donate to your cause online?
This week @HereEast spoke to the maker and self-taught coder who is hoping to inspire a new generation of giving. The idea behind this new start-up is from his frustration around how charities communicate the impact of their work, especially to a younger audience. He explains that over the last year in particular, there have been a lot of different issues playing out, which has resulted in a lack of trust in charities generally.
Laurie tells @HereEast about a dramatic scenario where a woman called Olive Cooke who was 92 years old committed suicide over receiving an overwhelming request for charity donations. Whether that is true or not, he explains the government started to shut certain fundraising agencies down to stop scrutiny. He looks into the issues surrounding our current fundraising platforms and explains how @DonativeUK is working hard to save charity work!

I chose UTRGV because it has a great nursing program in the field I want to pursue. UTRGV also has great professors, accessible tuition and is very close to home.
I want to be a nurse so I can give a hand to someone in pain, a word to someone lonely, and my attention to anyone who needs it. I feel as a nurse, I will generally have more opportunities to work directly with patients than a doctor. I am also minoring in Spanish and philosophy. My mother questioned if I would like studying philosophy but I enjoy it. Philosophy is a subject that makes you think about topics you normally avoid.
I want to start working in a hospital and start paying my loans. I also want to travel and give back to my parents as much as I can. Eventually I will probably return to school to earn a graduate degree.
I work at the UTRGV Student Involvement Office, where I have met a lot of great student leaders on campus. It is encouraging to see how many students are striving to make positive changes in the world. I am a member of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. through which I have participated in many different community service projects and events on campus, such as organizing fundraisers for St. Jude Hospital and presenting workshops to empower women.
To have not given up on becoming a nurse. Trying to balance everything in my life, plus the challenges life itself gives you have not been easy, but my goal has always remained the same.
Never stop believing in yourself. It's okay to be scared and to feel lost, you will find your way.

The 2008 BFGoodrich® Tires Outstanding Trails Program Reaches Across North America
Adding to an already impressive list of North American off-road trails, BFGoodrich® Tires announced today the continuation of its Outstanding Trails program and six new trails for 2008. Over the past two years, the Outstanding Trails program has recognized 11 off-road trails in 10 states and one in Canada. Launched in 2006, the Outstanding Trails program is dedicated to the responsible use, and preservation of, off-road trails while providing aid in trail conservation efforts.
BFGoodrich Tires, in collaboration with Tread Lightly! and United Four Wheel Drive Associations (UFWDA), is proud to present the trails for this year's program:
Superstition Mountain, CA
Blacktail/Wild Bill National Recreation Trail, MT
Iron Range, MN
Pritchett Canyon, UT
Quinn Trail, Ontario, Canada
Beasley Knob, GA
"North America is home to some of the most beautiful, picturesque and enjoyable off-highway vehicle areas in the world. The trails chosen this year are truly outstanding and deserve this recognition," said Joe Mazur, light-truck marketing manager. BFGoodrich Tires. "At its core, the Outstanding Trails program was created to highlight the best trails in the country, to honor the clubs that keep them maintained and to help in the conservation efforts."
From the deserts to the mountains and hillsides; from rock, dirt, water and sand, the 2008 Outstanding Trails are tough, they're fun and they're also beautiful. The trails were selected by UFWDA, Tread Lightly! and BFGoodrich Tires.
During the course of the program, which runs May through October, BFGoodrich Tires will host several events at these trails to highlight the individuality of each location as well as educate off-road enthusiasts on the responsible use of each trail. To help with costs associated with conservation of the trails, BFGoodrich Tires will also present a grant to a selected off-road club at each trail event.
Below is a closer look at each trail:
"United Four Wheel Drive Associations is proud to partner with BFGoodrich for the 2008 Outstanding Trails program. This program is a great opportunity for leaders in the four-wheel drive community to recognize enthusiasts and the impact they are making," said Todd Ockert, director of environmental affairs, UFWDA. "The Outstanding Trails program has recognized some great trails across the country and the enthusiasts that maintain those trails. United Four Wheel Drive Associations hopes to continue this partnership for years to come."
"Tread Lightly! is honored to partner with BFGoodrich as they truly make a worthwhile contribution to the world of responsible recreation by highlighting Outstanding Trails across North America," said Lori McCullough, executive director of Tread Lightly!. "BFG is demonstrating its commitment to the environment through this education, communications and restoration initiative."
Both Tread Lightly! and UFWDA are non-profit organizations dedicated to responsible and ethical outdoor recreation. BFGoodrich Tires collaborated with these two groups to select the finest North American trails and will continue to work with these organizations on restoration and education initiatives.
Tread Lightly!® is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower generations to enjoy the outdoors responsibly. Tread Lightly!'s strategic educational message, along with its training and restoration initiatives, are designed to instill an ethic of responsibility in outdoor enthusiasts and the industries that serve them. The program is long-term in scope with a goal to balance the needs of the people who enjoy outdoor recreation with the needs of the environment. The federal government recognizes this by acknowledging Tread Lightly! as a sole-source service provider of education and training on how to be environmentally and socially responsible while using motorized and mechanized vehicles in off-highway settings.
United Four Wheel Drive Associations is the world's leading representative of all-brand four-wheel drive enthusiasts. UFWDA benefits, developed and tested true over the past 30 years, include four-wheel drive safety and awareness education; user ethics programs such as Adopt-A-Road, conservation volunteer, and volunteer trail patrol; assistance with new club formation; education seminars to guide four-wheelers through complex state and federal programs affecting trail access; internet forums designed to connect members globally and instantaneously; and unrestrained member access to its full-time legislative advocate and nationally recognized attorney working exclusively for four-wheel drive enthusiasts to protect access and prevent road and trail closures. For more information on the UFWDA, log on to www.ufwda.org or call toll free 1-800-44-UFWDA (800-448-3932).
Using motorsports as a proving ground for more than 30 years, BFGoodrich® Tires is involved in every type of racing, including oval, sports car, drifting, drag, desert, dirt, rally (Dakar and WRC) and extreme rock crawling. BFGoodrich Tires combines technological expertise with vast motorsports experience, delivering a high-performance tire for every type of vehicle.
Superstition Mountain is located in beautiful southern California, near San Diego. Superstition Mountain is a 13,000-acre open area that presents an array of challenging off-road riding opportunities from sand dunes to rocks to mud hills. The trail has been classified by many as "demanding" and attracts skilled off-roaders.
Blacktail/Wild Bill National Recreation Trail is located near the Blacktail Mountain Ski Area in northwest Montana and was one of the first OHV areas to be recognized as a National Recreation Trail by the U.S. Forest Service. Providing 4x4 beginners and experts with several obstacles and spectacular views throughout, the trail also offers opportunities for dirt bike, ATV, snowmobile, and mountain bike enthusiasts to enjoy the 13-mile journey through the Flathead National Forest.
Iron Range is located in Gilbert, Minn., and features a system of 36 trails and 1,200 acres of recreation in a north woods setting with scramble areas, training hills and rock crawls. The Iron Range system provides riding opportunities for many skill levels on varied terrain Ñ rock, dirt, mud and hills.
Pritchett Canyon Trail is located near the picturesque area of Moab, Utah, and is known as one of the toughest off-road trails because its difficult obstacles have few or no bypasses. Off-roaders and locals consider Pritchett Canyon a gem due to its views of the steep canyon walls, large side-canyon pour-offs and a pool-speckled creek near the bottom of the canyon. Throughout the journey of the canyon, off-roaders are also treated to spectacular views of rock formations as the trail climbs through the lower part of the canyon and exits via a side canyon over a divide into the Hunter Canyon system.
Quinn Trail is located near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada. There are two ways to get to the end destination, which is Quinn Lake. Stock rigs will take the "front door," which consists of dirt, mud, tight turns and some blind elevations. Those looking for a serious challenge will take the "back door" to Quinn Lake. The large rock formations, steep hills and rocky creek beds make for a great challenge.
Beasley Knob is located just outside of Atlanta, Georgia, and has a well-developed system of eight interconnecting trails offering a total of 10.8 miles and a wide variety of riding challenges.

They all agreed that Mew should stay with Ash, but the young boy saw that Misty still felt sad for Seth so than Ash had an idea. "Hey Misty don't worry Ill' give Seth a note telling him that Mew is in good hands", Misty smiled and said "Well if you give her to me then she will be in better hands since you mess up always". "I do not and I will prove it too when I beat Robby" Ash argued back, now our heroes had continued to head for Robby's gym. And once they got to the Pokemon center, there it was right in front of the whole city a giant gym covered with electronics equipment. Togepi was shaking as they opened the door and entered the gym Misty calmed him down, inside the gym was like the home of a comic book super villain. Solid walls covered by steel circuitry, giant tubes with a strange purple liquid flowing threw them all above a giant jade green carpet.
The gang stared in awe at the gym then stared in fear (for a second), as they looked at a giant throne and whom was seated in that throne non other than Robby the wrecker. The kid was 15 years old he stood up very tall taller that Seth, he wore a light brown trench coat with a B and C on the sides of it (Bio City). They looked at his dark blue eyes as he fixed his short brown hair, upon the flap around his neck where 2 objects were on it. One was a symbol of a Pokeball with a championship belt over it, and the other was a yellow and blue badge it was shaped and appeared to look like a microchip it was the Bio badge. As our nervous hero stood there he finally asked "Are you Robby the wrecker?", Robby answered "Yeah I m' him who want's to know?" he said in his teenaged dark voice. Ash said "I do I am" "Ash Ketchum" Robby said finishing Ash's sentence he asked in shock "How did you know?", Robby laughed and said "Some cocky big trainer kid battle me and told me that a worthless slug of a trainer named Ash Ketchum was following him. He said his name was Garry" Ash cried out in anger out he just remembered that Garry came to Bio City too, "So your Ash and this must be Brock of Pewter city" Robby sneered. The gang froze in even bigger shock at this news, Robby said in sarcasm "What all gym trainers know each other except for Brock because he quit being one. But I don't know who this girl is?" he stared at Misty she replied, "I am Misty the gym leader from Cerulean City you must know about me too then" but Robby didn't. "Please your no gym leader your sisters told me about a scrawny reject of a sister named Misty", Robby insulted as Misty started getting ticked. But now "Enough already I came here to battle do you want to or not Robby?", the mysterious leader burst out laughing his face almost turning red at the thought of fighting Ash. He stopped when Ash yelled out "Well do you want to battle?" Robby quickly got serious "Not one trainer in this town nor the ones Iv' met have beaten me Garry didn't even win, but the fight of his Pokemon against mine was immense. The battle ended up as a tie but I gave him the Bio badge because of his immense excellence in battle, I except but only on one condition I want to fight all 3 of you it will give my Pokemon a good work out". Ash and the gang talked it amongst themselves Pikachu too, as they had to do one thing first Ash was ready to battle. "Okay all of us will battle you but if they win they do not get the badge, I am the only one here trying to get one". Robby nodded and opened up his trench coat wide inside the pockets were hundreds of Pokeballs but he only pulled out 6, Ash talked to the others "Come on guys we need our best Pokemon to take Robby right, right" they all agreed.
As there is in all gyms Robby's rules were clearly explained by Robby, he stated them 1-In 1 on 1 battle only 3 Pokemon are allowed, 2-in more than more battle only 2 Pokemon are used per person, and 3-WATCH OUT FOR ME! (a little scare joke). Robby had his Pokemon 2 for each trainer, and Ash, Brock, and Misty had the same Robby then smiled and said "So who want's to go first?". Wanting to get back at Robby Misty she went first and said, "Me first no one calls me scrawny and gets away with it" Ash wanted to go but the battle was about to begin. Misty threw out a Pokeball and said "Misty calls Starmie" the jewel chested purple starfish was ready to rumble, Robby laughed as he threw out his Pokeball and said "Ha that fish is no match for Electrode" the ball opened into the fastest electric Pokemon Electrode. Misty knew this was a problem because electric Pokemon can beat water ones, but she still tried she called out "Starmie water gun attack". Like its earlier evolved form Staryu water came from its head right at Electrode, the monster ball merely turned left while Robby said "Blast him with sonic boom" then a mini electric tornado came out of Electrode. The force knocked over Starmie Misty cried "No Starmie try hydro pump", a very strong attack as water broke threw the floor sending Electrode lying on his back side. Robby was a bit mad at that and said "That's it Electrode tackle him and then self destruct", now all were worried except Robby the over grown battery tackled Starmie to the ground then made himself go KABOOM! Once the giant explosion dust cleared all that was left was Starmie battered to death, the starfish creature collapsed as Misty called Starmie back and Robby did on what's left of Electrode.

Radiant heating is becoming one of the most popular and economical home heating systems available today. The system uses tubes, pipes, wires or panels placed underneath of the floor in each room. These elements are heated with electricity, water or air. The result is the gentle radiation of heat from the floor to the objects in the room. Radiant heating has several distinct advantages over other heating systems.
Radiant heating is a very efficient way to warm the home. The heat that rises up through the floor transfers directly to the objects in the room. Traditional systems that use ducts and fans to circulate hot air experience a large amount of heat loss. These forced air systems lose heat because of gaps in the ducts and natural dissipation. This causes the heating system to work longer to heat the space. There is very little to no loss with a radiant heating system. The increase in efficiency means that rooms will stay warm for a longer time. It also means lower energy bills each month.
Forced air systems circulate air throughout the home. Small particles of dust, dirt and debris can be carried from one room to the next through intakes. A forced air system could cause respiratory problems and skin irritation without regular maintenance and cleanings. Radiant heat does not move the air in a room. The energy transfer that generates warmth requires no moving parts in the living areas of the home. This keeps allergens and dust from dispersing into the air. The lack of ductwork also allows more innovative home designs when the system is installed during new construction.
Radiant heat installation is very flexible. A number of different options are available from wet installations in new homes to dry installations in existing houses. All types of floors can be accommodated. Homes that are in very cold areas could have an installation that includes panels in the walls so that rooms warm up very quickly during periods of extremely cold weather.
One of the main advantages of a radiant heat installation is comfort. The heat that is generated feels very natural. It does not cause the same changes in humidity that a forced air system would trigger. The heat moves from the floor upwards towards the ceiling. The surfaces of tables and furniture become comfortable to the touch. Most systems also work gradually so that there is not a sharp rise and later decline in temperatures throughout the house. An added benefit related to comfort is that the radiant heating system is silent.
Radiant heating systems do not need to be installed as a single central unit that covers all areas of the home. Each room can contain an isolated network of lines controlled by a thermostat on the wall. This allows homeowners to warm one room without activating the heating system in the rest of the house. It also makes it possible to keep different rooms at different temperatures. Multi-room radiant heat installations save energy and provide much more control over the temperatures throughout the home.
As an environmentally conscious homeowner, Ken Miller knows the importance of a properly designed and installed heating system. He uses his knowledge to educate other homeowners on how to make their homes environmentally friendly.


Super nice G3 modernist coffee table designed by Janni van Pelt, produced by Bas van Pelt, Holland 1958. This table has a black lacquered solid metal frame and an armored round glass top. Very nice contrast with the glass and metal. For sure one of the most elegant coffee tables Holland has ever known. The table is in very good original condition. And this would look amazing in any modern home, interior or office.

Since releasing their 2015 self-titled debut, Ibeyi, featuring their mesmerizing and disquieting music video, "River," twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz have toured the world, played Chanel's historic fashion show in Cuba, and they were even part of the biggest pop culture event of 2016: Beyoncé's Lemonade.
Now the 22-year-old, Franco-Cuban, electro-soul artists have just wrapped up the first tour in support of their sophomore album, 2017's Ash. The record is ambitious and vibrant, and finds the sisters exploring everything from identity, race, equality and feminism against diverse sonic landscapes that range from percussive and urgent to seductive and lush. They sing in French, English, Spanish and Yoruba, and welcome a thrilling array of collaborators into their tight-knit universe including saxophone great Kamasi Washington, legendary neo-soul singer-songwriter-bassist Meshell Ndegeocello, Cuban hip-hop artist Mala Rodriguez and Canada's own avant-pop pianist, Chilly Gonzales.
Similarly to their first record, Ash sounds like a futurist's fever-dream fully realized, influences pulled from generations past, from the earth below and the sky above and the water all around. Ibeyi's sound is an atmosphere and a feeling, but it's also an action, thrumming with life and language and love.
The last time Ibeyi sat down with CBC Music, the sisters talked about some dream collaborators. Ndegeocello and Rodriguez were on their list and both feature on Ash. As their wildest musical dreams continue to come true, we also wanted to look back at where they come from sonically. We asked the twins to map their musical influences, beyond, of course their late father, the great Cuban percussionist Anga Diaz. Their selections are just as eclectic, fun and surprising as we'd hoped.
Lisa-Kaindé Diaz: She's the first singer I was a fan of. I was four or five or six and she [was] actually the first artist that took us into her studio and we recorded on her album with a bunch of other kids. I would say the song is a lullaby and I got so emotional listening to that song when I was a child! I remember just putting my headphones on and just crying. It's Cuban pop music and it's delightful. Beautiful lyrics and beautiful melodies.
Editor's note: the song below is just an early example of Milanés' music, not the track that the sisters sang on.
Naomi Diaz: She's one of our early ones, and we're really happy to have her on the album. We grew up listening to her, and her voice and her bass, you know she's one of the best bass players.
Lisa-Kaindé: Yes, [The] Miseducation [of Lauryn Hill] definitely changed thousands of people's lives. It's absolutely perfect! Let's talk about that? Who makes an album that is perfect? No one! A song that changed my life was the first time I heard "I Put a Spell on You" by Nina Simone. There was a before and after and I remember the moment. I was in music camp and it was the first time that I was saying, "I am a singer." They said, "You're a singer, you gotta sing this!" and they put headphones on me and "I Put a Spell on You" and I had to learn this song. My heart stopped when she starts singing, [sings] "I love you, I love you, I love you" [Naomi joins in and they sing a few lines together].
She said it so much that I started feeling really emotional and almost dizzy and that day I realize not only the strength of having a voice that is not the "perfect" voice I thought I should have but like a deep, different voice. I learned the strength of believing in every word you say. I learned the strength of repetition and how it would make people feel to repeat the same word because the more she was repeating those words, the more I was losing it. The more I was believing in her. I was entranced, now that I think about it. It was probably my first experience of being entranced, and, to be fair, I'm not sure it happened to me again.
Naomi: I have another one: Amy Winehouse and Frank [her debut album]. I love the second one, but the first one, for me, is [trails off, smiling, shaking her head].
Lisa-Kaindé: Frank is incredible. And our mother used to work in the music industry, she was in PR and so she used to get so so many CDs, so we got Adele and Amy Winehouse way before people got them, way before they were famous and it was just like a huge slap in the face. I actually remember translating every lyric of Frank, and we were teenagers.
Lisa-Kaindé: It's funny that that's your favourite, that's one of my favourites. [They start singing together.] I also love when she sings, "I cried for you on the kitchen floor" [on "You Know I'm No Good" from 2006's Back to Black]. So beautiful. Weirdly one of my other favourite songs that I love from Amy is [she just looks at Naomi and they both begin singing "Understand once he was a family man," from the song "What is it About Men" from Frank]. But I think my actual favourite from Amy is from the second album. It's "Tears Dry on Their Own," and the lyrics are just ugh. [She starts singing and Naomi joins in a beat later] "He walks away and the sun goes down/ he takes the day but I'm grown." I have goosebumps everywhere. I did a little radio show yesterday on my own phone, we are starting little radio shows, and I put that song in and I said it's funny, we forget to talk about her. People, artists, we forget!
Naomi: We still think about her.
Lisa-Kaindé: She must not be forgotten, because she's in everybody's heart and it's just, you know, there's so much new artists that sometimes when you are asked to say the artists you love, you forget, but she's revolutionary. She was at the perfect middle of every single music I love, she was at the crossroads, and this is where it's interesting to be! She would pull everybody in, and there's nothing more that you can inspire. She's an example.
Lisa-Kaindé: Also classical music! Every time we would sleep at our grandmother's house she would put Mozart on, The Enchanted Flute, and we grew up listening to that. And part of the reason why we love voices is Yoruba music.
Naomi: And reggaeton from Cuba, and hip-hop. We were listening to everything. I love Cardi B. I feel like she's never going to change and that she's really true to herself and she's not gonna change for people. She says everything she feels. She's honest, and I think that's why people love Ibeyi, too. It's good sometimes to have, you know, "personas" or "roles," sometimes you have to, but it's also amazing to have someone who you don't know entirely, of course, but who is also not faking ... Cardi B, I think she's special, and I don't know why, I can't express how really. But she's from the hood and she will always love the hood, and people from all over can relate to her.

Charge orders, Magnetism and Pairings in High Temperature Superconductors

Total cost€ 1 318 145

COMMISSARIAT A L ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES
For nearly thirty years, the search for a room-temperature superconductor has focused on exotic materials known as cuprates, obtained by doping a parent Mott insulator, and which can carry currents without losing energy as heat at temperatures up to 164 Kelvin. Conventionally three main players were identified as being crucial i) the Mott insulating phase, ii) the anti-ferromagnetic order and iii) the superconducting (SC) phase. Recently a body of experimental probes suggested the presence of a fourth forgotten player, charge ordering-, as a direct competitor for superconductivity. In this project we propose that the relationship between charge ordering and superconductivity is more intimate than previously thought and is protected by an emerging SU(2) symmetry relating the two. The beauty of our theory resides in that it can be encapsulated in one simple and universal "gap equation", which in contrast to strong coupling approaches used up to now, can easily be connected to experiments. In the first part of this work, we will refine the theoretical model in order to shape it for comparison with experiments and consistently test the SU(2) symmetry. In the second part of the work, we will search for the experimental signatures of our theory through a back and forth interaction with experimental groups. We expect our theory to generate new insights and experimental developments, and to lead to a major breakthrough if it correctly explains the origin of anomalous superconductivity in these materials.

Broken records has track team off to a fast start
Photo by Simpson Athletics
by Austin Bell, Staff Reporter
The Storm track and field season is off and running and ahead of the game.
The men's team is off to a great start after two record-breaking performances by junior Mason Spree and freshman Spencer Moon.
Mason Spree broke the school record for a weight throw with a distance of 15.27 meters at the Dutch Athletics Classic. Spree then went on to break his own record this past weekend with a 15.33 meters throw at the Wartburg College Select.
Spencer Moon also broke a record, a record that had not been broken in 32 years at the Prairie Wolf Indoor Invitational in the 3,000 meter run with a time of 8 minutes, 37.9 seconds. The previous record was held by Dan Halferty.
With such a strong start to the season, these men want to continue to break their own record, which is promising for the Storm.
"It was really cool to PR like that,"Spree said. "My biggest goal is to make the record respectable and keep breaking my current record."
Moon has placed top five in every event he has run in even placing second in the mile run at the Wartburg Select.
"I want to keep PRing in every meet that I run," Moon said.
It was a shocking moment for both the individuals and their teammates when they found out they had broken these records.
"The first time it was kind of funny cause I did it on my second throw of the day and Mac [Roush] another thrower, he knew but he wouldn't tell me." Spree said. "I didn't really know what to expect, I was a pretty good runner in high school. I was racing and I had a few teammates who came up to me saying if you keep this up, you're going to break the school record I just kept pushing and once I broke the record I was really excited and celebrated with the team."
This past weekend at the Wartburg College Select the team had four, first-place finishes and finished third overall.
Sam Adeniyi scored a total of 4,555 points where he had a strong performance in the Heptathlon. In the 400-meter dash, Craig Garrison also gained a first-place finish with a time of 51.58.

March 18, 2019 Written by The Ghost
Another Monday Mixteen, another week The Ghost is behind the curve. International Women's Day was ten days ago, and I'm just now doing an all female playlist. Perhaps the better way to spin this is that I'm celebrating the Girls Club show at Granada Theater this Saturday, featuring Remy Reilly, Frankie Leonie, Maya Piata, and LEV. Yes, I prefer that alternate explanation. So here you go, a playlist filled with sixteen of the strongest female talents in the metroplex area.
Remy Reilly, "Rattlesnake"
Since this playlist spotlights the previously mentioned Girls Club showcase, what better way to kick off this playlist than with the show's headliner?
Devi, "It's Devi Bitch"
It's been barely five months since Devi blasted onto the scene with this debut track. The title might make one think that she's a Top 40 wannabe, but nothing could be further from the truth. Devi is injecting a much needed dose of musical innovation in the world of pop dance tunes, and our music scene is better for it.
Peyton Stilling, "Forest Through the Trees"
It seems that there's a strong wave of young, powerful singer-songwriters coming out as of late. Ms. Stilling fuses together hints of pop and R&B with a strong lyrical sense usually reserved for the singer-songwriter world.
Ansley, "Lucky Smoke"
How many women are equally strong at both rocking out (refer to Panic Volcanic) and writing beautiful indie pop melodies? Well, there's Ansley, and there's… um…
LEV, "Magnetic"
Exhibit #2 from the Girl's Club showcase. Her Glass Ceiling album come out at a time where there was an abundance of releases, and I was at a shortage of time and energy for covering local music. So I'm just now getting to really appreciate how good the album is.
Jenna Clark, "No Place to Go"
Just saw Ms. Clark this past Saturday, and the girl can SANG! I could've chosen any track from her self-titled album, and it would be a winner. But only one track mentions drinking whiskey in Deep Ellum. And that's an image that makes this Ghost happy.
Brigitte Mena, "Refrain"
I wish I could share Ms. Mena's latest single, "Histrionics", with y'all right now. It's her best work to date. You'll be able to hear the song Friday night at Spinster Records, as she performs with Xuan and Lo. In the meantime, enjoy this nice track from Maslow.
Frankie Leonie, "Taking All the Good out of Bye"
Here's yet another artist playing Girls' Club. While her track "Johnny Cash" borders on sounding like a lost Fleetwood Mac track with her playing the Stevie Nicks role, this track is a classic country heartbreaker.
Alsace Carcione, "Flight (Queen)"
Is there a stronger female MC in Dallas than Ms. Carcione? I'm not saying it's impossible, but I've yet to hear her if she exists. The flow on this track isn't good for a female; it's just good. Period.
Jessie Frye, "Fantasy"
Dallas folks, take note: Ms. Frye will perform Friday at Three Links alongside NiTE and The Wild Frontiers. Her musical styles may change regularly, but the one thing I can't imagine changing is her track record of putting on a killer show.
Rat Rios, "Sliver of My Beauty"
In what might be the oddest show of the weekend, Rat Rios will play a Bearded Lady and Free Man's Freak Show. Interesting…
Lorelei K, "I Watched U"
The latest single from Lorelei K is gorgeous, ambitious, painstakingly beautiful, and more adjectives that still don't do the track justice.
Erykah Badu, "On & On"
Because it just wouldn't be right to have a playlist focusing on Dallas' strongest female acts without featuring the Queen of Dallas Soul on here.
Maya Piata, "Garden"
Here's the fourth of the ladies playing Girls' Club. Her EP release show for Vernal was one of the most joy inducing shows of 2018, so here's hoping she can replicate some of that magic on the big Granada stage.
Tippy Balady, "Merry Go Round"
Not gonna lie; I was disappointed that Ms. Balady didn't get more screen time on Sunday's episode of American Idol. Whatever happens in the course of the singing competition, it's worth noting that "Merry Go Round" is the type of song whose impact is not measured by TV ratings, but in lives impacted. This is a song with a wisdom far beyond Ms. Balady's mere seventeen years on this planet. As far as I'm concerned, even if Tippy's output was only this one song, it would make her a bigger winner than any reality competition. Still, she has other (great) songs, and I'm rooting for her 110%.
Emmeline, "Something More"
It's time to Rise. Specifically, it's time to listen to Rise on Spotify, iTunes, and all the usual music services. I've waited for a long time to share her tracks on my playlists, so expect so see plenty of Emmeline on here in the coming weeks and months.
Also, I'm giving you a heads up that next week's playlist will be exploring the events and circumstances that led local musicians to write some of their songs. So if you wanna share these stories, Talk to the Ghost.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effect of fish oil on bone mineral density (BMD). There were no differences in the 2-year BMD measures between high and low dose groups after adjusting for baseline BMD. This randomized controlled trial did not demonstrate any efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on bone loss in adults.
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether supplementation with high dose omega-3 fish oil could have an impact on BMD.
Methods: In a multicentre, double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) (ACTRN 12607000415404), 202 Australian participants aged ≥40 with knee osteoarthritis (mean age, 61.0 ± 10.0 years; 49 % female) were randomized to receive either high dose (4.5 g eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid daily) or low dose (0.45 g/day) omega-3 fish oil for 2 years. BMD was assessed at baseline and 2 years by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Results: In subjects with baseline and 2-year assessments, mean standardized BMD at baseline for low or high dose group was 1198 ± 198 and 1157 ± 169 mg/cm2, respectively, for the lumbar spine and was 1035 ± 165 and 1017 ± 174 mg/cm2, respectively, for the femoral neck. There were no differences in the 2-year BMD measures between high and low dose groups after adjusting for baseline BMD in the complete case regression analyses (lumbar spine 3.7, 95 % confidence interval (CI) −7.9 to 15.3 mg/cm2 and femoral neck −5.5, 95 % CI −14.9 to 3.9 mg/cm2). The findings did not change with additional adjustments of age, gender, study centre and uses of bone-related drugs during the study period as well as using the intention-to-treat analysis or limiting to older participants (≥55 years at the baseline) (all P ≥ 0.25). Mild adverse events such as headache and gastrointestinal intolerance were common but did not occur more frequently in either group. There were no serious adverse events related to the intervention.
Conclusion: A 2-year supplementation with high-dose omega-3 fish oil did not alter bone loss among men and women with knee osteoarthritis.

Gonialoe dinteri, és una espècie de planta amb flors de la família de les asfodelàcies (Asphodelaceae). És originari de zones àrides d'Angola i Namíbia.

Descripció

Les plantes formen rosetes sense tija de fins a 30 cm d'amplada. Els fillols, més petits, de vegades surten de la tija principal. Les fulles són llargues i triangulars afilades de color verd marronós fosc amb taques lineals blanques i marges cartilaginosos. Les inflorescències multiramificades altes i molt fines apareixen de gener a març, amb petites flors escasses de color rosa pàl·lid i de vegades blavoses.

Tot i que aquesta espècie té un aspecte bastant similar a les seves dues espècies germanes, es pot distingir de Gonialoe sladeniana per les seves fulles més llargues que corben cap avall, i es pot distingir de Gonialoe variegata per la seva gran mida, la seva inflorescència més escassa i fina i les taques les fulles són més lineals, gairebé fins al punt de ser ratlles. Les bràctees de G. dinteri tenen 3 nervis, a diferència de les seves espècies germanes que són 1 nerviades. G. dinteri també té una arrel inusualment gran; les seves arrels formen un percentatge molt més gran del seu pes corporal que tota la resta de plantes juntes.

Distribució i hàbitat
Gonialoe dinteri es troba en poblacions escasses a través d'una àrea àrida àmplia de Namíbia i al voltant de les vores del desert de Namib. Normalment es presenta en esquerdes profundes de roca calcària o granit, o bé creix sota matolls. Es troba a la Llista vermella de la UICN sota el sinònim d'espècie Aloe dinteri.

La poca pluja que hi ha en aquesta zona, que acostuma a caure a l'estiu. Cap al sud, a mesura que el clima dona pas a un clima de pluja hivernal, Gonialoe dinteri se substitueix per Gonialoe sladeniana que habita la zona intermèdia central i, finalment, per Gonialoe variegata fins i tot més al sud, on predomina el clima de pluges hivernals.

Cultiu
Aquesta espècie es pot cultivar en cultiu, però necessita condicions seques i un sòl porós molt ben drenat. És relativament resistent al fred, a causa de les baixes temperatures nocturnes del seu hàbitat desèrtic.

Taxonomia
Antigament, G. dinteri formava part de la sèrie Serrulatae d'espècies dÀloe molt relacionades, juntament amb Aloe sladeniana i Aloe variegata. Estudis filogenètics recents han demostrat que aquestes tres espècies constitueixen possiblement un gènere completament separat, amb el nom de Gonialoe. Tot i que aquesta espècie té un aspecte bastant similar a les seves dues espècies germanes, es pot distingir fàcilment d'aquestes per la seva inflorescència més curta i intensa amb flors rosades més grans.Gonialoe dinteri va ser descrita per (A.Berger) Boatwr. & J.C.Manning, i publicat a Syst. Bot. 39: 69, a l'any 2014.

EtimologiaGonialoe: és una paraula composta per dues paraules, gori- derivada del grec antic γόνος "descendent" i aloe derivada del grec antic αλοη, que segurament el pren de l'àrab alloeh o de l'hebreu halal, que significa "substància amarga i brillant".vdinteri: epítet atorgat en honor del botànic alemany Kurt Dinter.

Sinonímia
 Aloe dinteri A.Berger in K.Dinter, Neue Pfl. Südw.-Afr.: 14 (1914).(Basiònim/sinònim substituït)

UK cardinal rebukes 500 priests over letter to resist change
UK Cardinal Vincent Nichols has rebuked the almost 500 British priests who have signed a letter resisting any change to Church teaching at the Vatican's next Synod on the Family in October, reports The Tablet.
The Cardinal said discussions between priests and bishops ahead of the gathering are "not best conducted through the press."
Almost 500 priests in England and Wales have signed a letter calling on the Vatican's next Synod on the Family to proclaim the Church's "unchanging" moral teaching and resist any move allowing Communion for the divorced and remarried.
The 461 priests endorsed a letter, reported earlier this month by The Tablet and published in The Catholic Herald, that was initiated by a group of a dozen conservative-minded clergy. The 12 had circulated a letter and a covering note to priests in England and Wales. The note invited priests to sign the letter which was composed for publication in the press.
The letter expresses fidelity to the Church's traditional doctrines of marriage and sexuality, and affirms the traditional discipline "regarding the reception of the sacraments" (which bars Communion for the divorced and remarried).
The covering note to the letter contended that the media's reporting of the 2014 synod had left a "distorted sense" that the Church's moral teaching could be changed.
Yesterday, Cardinal Nichols issued a statement saying every priest in England and Wales has been asked to reflect on the Synod discussion and that their pastoral experience and concern are of "great importance." He added, however, that the "dialogue between a priest and his bishop, is not best conducted through the press."

Legislative roundup, 2.22.21: Bill would seek to relax expulsion requirements
Kevin Richert and Clark Corbin 02/22/2021
Under current state law, school officials must expel a student who brings a knife to school.
A bill in the Senate is designed to give trustees and administrators some latitude.
Senate Bill 1116 would maintain a one-year expulsion for K-12 students who bring a firearm to school, mirroring the Federal Gun-Free Schools Act. But the bill is designed to provide local discretion for incidents involving knives.
On Monday, the Senate State Affairs Committee heard testimony from an Idaho Falls-area mother, whose second-grader was expelled in January after giving a classmate the gift of a kitchen knife.
"She had no idea that what she brought to school was dangerous," Amber Hoover said. "Her first mistake got her expelled from school."
Bonneville School District Scott Woolstenhulme offered another anecdote from the Eastern Idaho district. Last year, a student showed up at school wearing a coat he hadn't worn since a summer camping trip. The student realized a pocket knife was in the coat pocket. After the student did the right thing, turning the knife in to the school resource officer, the school had no choice but to expel the student.
"Those are very difficult and challenging conversations to have with students and their parents," Woolstenhulme said.
The State Department of Education and the Idaho School Boards Association both support the bill, saying it would allow schools to expel a student who poses a threat, while also exercising some latitude.
"When a student is expelled, that stays with their record forever," ISBA Executive Director Karen Echeverria said.
Senate Bill 1116 now heads to the Senate floor for possible amendments. Supporters say they draw a clearer distinction between firearms and other potential weapons.
Earlier Monday, Senate State Affairs introduced another version of a guns-in-schools bill, this one from the Idaho Association of School Administrators. This bill would clarify that local school boards get to decide whether to allow employees to carry firearms in school, Betsy Russell of the Idaho Press reported. That's currently the case under existing state law.
On the House side, Rep. Chad Christensen, R-Iona, has proposed a bill that would allow anyone with an enhanced concealed weapons permit to carry on school grounds — with or without the approval of local school officials.
House Education Committee advances contract bill
The House Education Committee advanced a bill Monday that is designed to clear up confusion between certification and contract laws for some teachers.
Pushed by Rep. Rod Furniss, R-Rigby, House Bill 111 would apply to teachers who are seeking their initial teaching certificate through a nontraditional program.
If passed, the bill would allow school boards to retain teachers on an annual contract if they have not completed the three-year nontraditional certification program in time. When the teacher completes the program, they would then be issued a five-year renewable certificate and qualify for the professional endorsement and a renewable contract.
In recent years, hundreds of Idaho teachers have entered the classroom through a nontraditional program such as Teach for America, ABCTE or a because they are a content specialist with experience in the field.
Butte County school board member Karen Pyron and ISBA urged the committee to support the bill.
Pyron said the issue has come up in Butte County three or four times over the past decade. Most recently, Butte County was trying to keep its lone biology teacher, who entered the classroom under a nontraditional route.
"Life happens," Pyron said, explaining why some teachers don't finish the nontraditional certification program in time. In this case, mentoring was a challenge because the district didn't have another biology teacher to mentor the new teacher.
"The long story short is that the districts want and quite frankly need these teachers to continue to be in the classroom," ISBA policy and government affairs director Quinn Perry said.
Nobody testified against the bill.
The committee voted to advance the bill on a voice vote.
HB 111 heads to the House floor with a recommendation to pass.
Charter commission bill heads to Senate floor
A bill to make the Idaho Public Charter School Commission more of a free-standing entity is on its way to the Senate floor.
The Senate Education Committee quickly signed off on the bill Monday afternoon.
It's a bit complicated, but here's what Senate Bill 1115 would do:
It would move the commission out from under the office of the State Board of Education — where it now reports to board staff. The commission would remain an offshoot of the State Board, a policymaking panel comprised of gubernatorial appointees and the elected superintendent of public instruction.
The commission, and not State Board staff, would be responsible for hiring a commission director.
The governor would appoint all seven commission members. Currently, the governor appoints three commissioners, the speaker of the Idaho House appoints two members and the president pro tempore of the state Senate appoints two members.
The commission's role has expanded since it was established in 2004. The commission now oversees 57 charter schools, the vast majority of Idaho's charters. SB 1115 reflects the growth of a commission that should be more autonomous, said Sen. Carl Crabtree, R-Grangeville, a bill co-sponsor.
SB 1115 now heads to the Senate floor.

Q: non blocking socket select returns 1 after connect First of all I would like to say that this is another problem than this one: Similar but not the same
My code looks like this:
struct addrinfo hints, *res;
struct sockaddr* serveraddr;

memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
hints.ai_family = AF_INET;
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;

int res2 = getaddrinfo(ip, port, &hints, &res);
printf("getaddrinfo() res: %d, %d\n", res2, errno);

serveraddr = res->ai_addr;

//create new socket

int soc = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
printf("socket() res: %d, %d\n", socket, errno);

//set nonblocking mode
unsigned long on = 1;
res2 = ioctl(soc, FIONBIO, &on);
printf("ioctl() res: %d\n, %d", res2, errno);

res2 = connect(soc, serveraddr, sizeof(struct sockaddr));
printf("connect() res: %d, %d\n", res2, errno);

//check if socket is ready
fd_set wfds;
FD_ZERO(&wfds);
FD_SET(soc, &wfds);

struct timeval t;
t.tv_sec=15;
t.tv_usec=0;

res2 = select(soc + 1, 0, &wfds, 0, &t);
printf("select() res: %d, %d\n", res2, errno);`

I'm connecting to machine that exists (IP address exists, but there is no server listening on port I'm trying to connect).
Select always returns 1. Why? According to man it should timeout and return 0.
After this when I try to write something to socket it returns -1/ECONNREFUSED.
Is this expected behaviour? If yes, how to check after select() is we are connected?

A: I don't know where in the man pages you see that it should time out.
If there is no firewall dropping the packets, the connection will be refused pretty fast (one packet from your host, one packet reply). So an "event" on the connecting socket will come in as soon as the reset is received. This will wake up select, with (at least) one active socket.
The first attempt to read from or write to that socket will return the underlying connect error.

A: This is correct behavior, because a pending error causes a socket to become both readable and writable. As with any other system call, you need to check for error conditions explicitly.  You could include the socket in the exception fdset (the fourth argument to select()), and pick up a notification directly, or you could check later for an error in a number of ways.
Be careful of writing to the socket, as a SIGPIPE could happen. In general, you should set a SIGPIPE handler and handle the error synchronously with EPIPE.

Thandi Hlam (mathematics teacher collective in FP) completed her MEd and graduated in 2017.
Amina Brey completed her PhD and graduated in 2017. She worked with primary school learners and cognitive development through using LEGO blocks.
The idea is not competition for SAARMSTE or AMESA, but a conference and colloquium for Teachers in the immediate 60-80km radius with an opportunity to engage and share, very similar to the inspiring teaching conference that we hosted 3 years ago.
Dr Ron Beyers hosted an iPad Forum with teachers from PE in May 2015. The response has been great and schools have also indicated that they want to get their learners involved here.
PGCE students is conducting their SBL at Paterson as part of a rural experience. They will be interviewed as part of a case study on ICT aspects and matters pertaining to the PGCE. This could enhance and inform the PGCE curriculum.
Dr Ron Beyers and Mr Preston Geswindt is also starting to engage with a Khan Academy YouTube project where they will be using YouTube as a mathematics resource to the learners' advantage.
A scientific literacy research project will start at the above mentioned schools in Aug 2015.
Mr Preston Geswindt and Dr Rn Beyers is working in collaboration with Prof Paul Webb and Andre du Plessis here on the Herman Ohlthaver Trust Project. Mr Alan Appel of the trust has been invited to see what we are doing. Semester reports are provided to the trust.
Assoc Prof André du Plessis is busy with a TAU Scholarship Research Project that involve the current status of ICT in the Faculty of Education – Staff and Student related. Ethical clearance has been applied for. This could enable faculty to obtain a picture of where we are ICT wise and what can be done to assist staff to enable the use of ICT to a greater extent to promote teaching and learning.
A few proposals related to the STEM theme has been submitted to CERMESA by staff members to attract possible international MEd students. This CERMESA driver is Prof Paul Webb.
