Infoxchange Founder to Step Down After 23 years of Social Innovation
Lina Caneva
The founder of national technology provider, Infoxchange, Andrew Mahar, has announced he is stepping down from his role as Executive Director and CEO.
Lina Caneva | 15 September 2011 at 9:52 am
In announcing his decision Mahar says the time is right to explore new horizons and for Infoxchange to flourish under new leadership.
The announcement comes more than two decades after Mahar built a computer database in a garage to help homeless people find beds, turning it into a social enterprise which today employs over 70 people and has a proven sustainable business model.
The Chairman of Infoxchange, Lee Wapling says that d uring his time at the helm of Infoxchange, Mahar has helped to build a leading Not for Profit social enterprise, using Information & Communication Technology (ICT) to create positive social change.
Founded 23 years ago with a $2500 grant, Infoxchange has grown its scope and services significantly, based on its mission to use technology for social justice. It operates more than 15 initiatives and enterprises designed to address digital and social disadvantage and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of community service organisations in Australia and the Asia Pacific through better use of information communications technology.
Wapling says that while Infoxchange will miss Andrew Mahar's leadership, they are also celebrating his impressive social contribution building a sustainable and robust business, and playing a vital part in putting Australia's digital divide on the public policy agenda.
He says he has also led the development of tools and solutions that help other community organisations use technology effectively.
Mahar says the move will allow him more time to pursue his role as an advocate for Digital Inclusion in Australia and to ensure that everyone who wants to participate in 21st century Australia is able to do so.
He says Infoxchange is providing funding for a Digital Inclusion campaign designed to increase access to the digital world for disadvantaged and low-income groups.
He says he will also stay involved in the independent social enterprises supported by Infoxchange, including Carbonxchange and InfoTimor.
Mahar will remain at Infoxchange for another six months and the organisation says it has put in place a detailed succession plan while it searches for a new CEO.
Wapling says the organisation has a strong management team in place and a diverse range of technology projects and services, so the new CEO will help us identify opportunities to grow the organisation, its influence and its outcomes.
Pro Bono Australia's Founder Karen Mahlab says Andrew Mahar has always delivered concrete projects and results to back up his vision around delivering technology for social justice.
Mahlab says he's built a robust and significant organisation through hard work and long term dedication.
She says his next stage – to act as an advocate for issues around digital divide – is perfect and it's great that he'll be reinventing himself to stay within the sector.

This is a true life adventure into the wonders of e-mail. More importantly, its real purpose is to issue what the HR Doctor's friends in law enforcement would call a "BOLO" — a "be on the lookout" — for technology gone awry. How ironic that this warning would come from a "techno-phile" such as the HR Doctor!
Technology is fascinating. It can extend human knowledge, be a springboard to new opportunities to share, to play and to grow. It can be a bridge between peoples who speak different languages, live continents apart, practice different religions and have never met. Or, it can bridge wide gaps which can exist between people who live just a few miles away from each other. It can enable the disabled and be more powerful at opening doors to possibility than any other key available to us, except perhaps the key found within each person's spirit!
Within public agencies, we see a world far removed from the one which existed only a couple of decades ago — in offices which used carbon paper and messengers, rather than e-mails and high speed laser printers. This rather recent past was a time before fax machines and a time when lithograph machines produced copies. Perhaps, the HR Doctor should take a moment to define carbon paper. Well, never mind, I'm sure it's available for viewing in a display at the Smithsonian! By the way, despite a diligent advanced search in the online catalog of Office Depot, carbon paper was not to be found!
The far greater capacity to communicate, which is now available to government agencies, can sometimes create unexpected events. Take the example of one modern and large county — which shall remain nameless to protect the innocent. This county, like many, uses or over-uses, e-mails. Specifically, it uses the e-mail feature that allows an employee to send a message to "everyone" in the entire organization with the click of one button. You know the feature — it has probably made you crazy at times.
Once upon a time, the brave county administrator, and many others in the organization, became justifiably tired of pointless "everyone" e-mails about such compelling subjects as the new stock of paper clips that had just arrived in purchasing, or about the fact that one distant field office of Public Works would be closed for repairs for two hours, etc.
In fact, the annoyance rather regularly evolved into an HR issue when some errant employee used these everyone e-mails to send messages to one and all about his religious passion at holiday time, or the romantic note intended to capture the attention of one person and, instead, ending up on 2000 PCs. So, using the power and majesty of the county administrator's office, this concerned colleague sent out an e-mail (to "everyone," of course) ordering that, effective immediately, there should be no more "everyone" e-mails, except for those sent by a select few senior managers.
The outcome occurred because there is another and equally convenient feature in the modern e-mail software. That feature is to automatically notify the sender as well as those copied, that the person is "out of the office," perhaps on vacation, etc. What happened next was that the everyone e-mail banning any future everyone e-mail encountered a great many employees who were on vacation. The "notification" feature then performed flawlessly sending word back to "everyone" that so and so employee was out of the office. In turn, the notifications went to other employees — including the original ones on vacation. That, of course, triggered additional "out of the office" everyone e-mails, and so on, and so on.
Recalling one of the HR Doctor's favorite movies, ripe with metaphors, The Day the Earth Stood Still, the resulting brief organizational paralysis — and moment of humor — was something to behold. Unfortunately, even the entire county workforce uttering in unison "Klaatu barada nikto" would not have solved this problem.
and I don't mean on the hard drive this time!

tazza_di_jo has done so much to help with this fic, we've plotted and brainstormed and debated timelines and canon and, seriously, she deserves so much credit for this fic because she's been totally awesome.
Thank you to son_heir, for reading it and getting overly excited in parts.
And, for the betas, huge thank yous to pabzi & nipplemuggins for catching my eight million typos and all the other things that needed beating into shape.
The first thing Ianto Jones noticed when he woke up was the silence. It had been a long time since he had awoken to silence. He was always woken by Jack; the sound of him softly snoring, or a clattering from the kitchen, a tap of phone keys nearby. Always noise, never silence. But not this time. This time there was silence and nothing else
The second thing Ianto Jones noticed was that his throat was burning. He desperately needed a drink. He sat up, his head fuzzy, and that was when remembered.
He was alone, in what looked to be a school sports hall, surrounded by bodies. He processed this slowly. He was alone, and surrounded by dead bodies. Alone, surrounded by dead bodies, in London. Not for the fist time.
He tried to stand. He felt a little off balance, but otherwise fine, and he began to think through all that had happened. He made his way to the nearest exit, slumping down against the wall as soon as he got outside, too much had happened, his brain couldn't keep up.
He had died – well, he had been dying, anyway. In Jack's arms. But where was Jack now? Jack must have died too, but he would have recovered faster. Recovered, and left Ianto's body behind. He had left Ianto's body behind, so he must have thought Ianto was dead.
He pushed away from the wall, he had to get moving. The first thing he had to do was find some water and then, once he had done that, he would track down Jack. And Gwen. And Rhys, and whoever else they were working with now. He would find out what was happening, they would save the world and then Ianto would retcon Jack, lest he remember Ianto's deathbed statement of love.
It took far less time than Ianto had expected it would to track Jack down. Getting into the police station had been a little harder, but if you spend enough time hanging around a former police officer and an ex-conman, you pick up a few tricks.
He smiled to himself as the policeman opened Jack's cell door and gave Ianto a curt nod before retreating down the corridor. Jack didn't look up and Ianto took a second to take him in. He looked devastated, staring dejectedly at the floor, the spark gone out of him.
"Jack", Ianto said quietly. "Jack."
He watched as Jack raised his head, his mouth falling open in confusion.
"What?" Jack stared at him, not moving. His eyes were wide and he struggled to form words. Ianto crossed the room, gently laying a hand upon Jack's cheek, reassuring him that he was solid, that he was real.
Seconds later Jack was on him. Lips locking, tongues duelling, hands moving. Ianto felt as though his head would explode – Jack was pouring every ounce of passion he could possibly possess into kissing him.
It was more than overwhelming and Ianto had to pull away. He sank back against the cell wall and Jack studied him with shining eyes. "Ianto..."
"Hello, sir."
Jack laughed, a deep laugh, the type of laughter that Ianto associated with Jack, and only Jack, and the comfort brought by him. "Oh, only you, Ianto Jones, only you."
"Jack..." Unsteadily, Ianto brought a hand up to Jack's face.
"You're alive," Jack whispered.
"I can survive anything," Jack reminded him. "But you... how?"
"I don't know. All I know is that I woke up alone, in a body bag."
Jack nodded. "We thought you were... We had to go, there wasn't time."
Ianto held up a hand. "We don't have time now, either. Come on, explain it to me on the way."
"Where are we going?" Jack asked, as Ianto pulled a pair of handcuffs from his pocket. Jack cocked an eyebrow and threw a smirk in Ianto's direction.
Before Ianto could begin his master escape plan, the cell door burst open and he was pulled away from Jack and his tempting smirk by a man dressed all in black. Two others had seized Jack and several more were in the hallway, battling with the police officers. He found himself being thrust forward, and along with Jack he was handcuffed and led to the roof.
As a helicopter came into land and they were push forwarded Jack reached as best he could to touch Ianto's fingers with his own in a gesture of comfort. It was a silent promise, Ianto knew, Jack's way of telling him that they would get out of this. Whatever this was.
When they landed they were taken into a cold building without any explanation and pushed through a series of corridors, still handcuffed. Eventually, their pace slowed and the light in Jack's eyes returned, a grin forming on his face as a woman got to her feet. She watched them, but she didn't smile. A young blond boy pulled away from her, running towards them and throwing his arms around Jack's middle. Ianto looked over at the woman, realising who she must be. Alice. Jack's daughter. Jack had a daughter. Beyond the first few moments of shock and betrayal at that revelation, Ianto had not really been surprised. But, although he knew she had a son, he hadn't thought of her being older than him.
The boy – Steven – was scrambling for Jack's attention and Ianto looked back to see Jack's eyes flitting from him to Alice. He gave Jack a small nod, telling him that it was okay, and Jack turned back to Steven, who was still calling for 'Uncle Jack'. Which answered another unasked question – Steven didn't know.
Jack gently urged Steven to stay with Alice as they were led down the corridor and into a large room. Their handcuffs were removed and a woman in black – Johnson, Ianto's brain supplied - began to explain the situation, Jack bouncing ideas back at her while the man from Thames House, Dekker, insisted they couldn't beat this.
There was a look of steely determination in Jack's eyes as he began to piece things together. He beckoned to Ianto as he began frantically manipulating the keyboard of the nearest computer; they worked in a determined silence and it wasn't long before they knew what had to be done.
Dekker's face formed into a cruel smile as he looked at them, horribly amused. "That child's gonna fry."
Jack was staring straight ahead of him, refusing to be a part of it. With Alice screaming on one side of him and Johnson ordering him on the other, Ianto could see Jack physically shaking with the weight of the decision he had to make. All eyes were on the Captain, waiting for an answer that Jack couldn't give. Jack didn't move.
"No," Ianto said sharply, glaring at Johnson. He gripped at Jack's hand, pulling it way from the desk and forcing Jack to look at him, to focus. "Jack, you can't." He stared into Jack's blue eyes; they were shining with unshed tears. Alice was still screaming, Johnson was still making demands. "Jack, there has to be another way. We'll find another way."
Jack looked at Ianto for second, squeezing his hand before turning to Johnson. "No. You can't have him." He looked at Alice, then turned back to Johnson. "No way."
"I'm sorry Captain," came Johnson's response, her voice distant and unfeeling. She turned to the men behind her. "Restrain him."
Suddenly, both Jack and Ianto were being held back by Johnson's men. They struggled to get free as Alice ran out of the room, calling for her son. Ianto watched, helplessly, as Jack became more and more frantic. Soon Alice too, had been restrained, and as they carried Steven in she hammered her palms against the door, begging to be let in. Jack was pulling at the arms restraining him and there were tears flowing freely down his face. Ianto tried to get out of the guard's firm grip, but he couldn't break free, and he watched helplessly as Jack's world fell apart before them.
Steven was placed in the centre of the room, looking terrified and confused, calling for Jack, for his mother, for anyone. Jack screamed at Johnson, begging her to let him go, to find another way, but it was too late. Dekker began pressing buttons, and suddenly Steven let out an ear piercing scream that threw the rest of the room into silence. Even Jack stilled momentarily.
Then it all happened too quickly for Ianto to stop and think, Jack and Alice resumed their shouting and screaming, they pleaded with Dekker to stop, to end Steven's suffering as the boy shook violently in the centre of the room, blood beginning to pour from his nose. The man restraining Ianto had loosened his grip in shock at the sight before him and Ianto took advantage. He pulled quickly away and raced across the room. Before anyone noticed he was moving he had reached Dekker and pushed him away from the computer, slamming his fingers into the keyboard desperately.
The transmission ended.
Steven slumped to the floor and, once again, the room fell silent.

In a blender, puree the pint of strawberries with 2 cups of the syrup on high for 1 minute and add to the pitcher with the lemon juice. Stir well to combine and refrigerate until well chilled. If you prefer, right before serving, strain the strawberry lemonade through a fine mesh sieve to remove the strawberry seeds.


Puppet is driving the movement to a world of unconstrained software change. Its revolutionary platform is the industry standard for automating the delivery and operation of the software that powers everything around us. More than 30,000 companies — including more than two thirds of the Fortune 100 — use Puppet's open source and commercial solutions to adopt DevOps practices, achieve situational awareness and drive software change with confidence.
Their task in April was to gather senior IT managers within the finance sector, to discuss the issues within who should take ultimate responsibility over the security around DevOps implementation and uncover what the security teams' positions should be in this new structure. Across the day, we deconstructed how IT organisations in the finance sector integrate security and compliance as an essential part of DevOps.
The Computing IT Leaders Forum brings together senior IT professionals who drive technology decisions within major UK enterprises. The Forum provides delegates with the opportunity to meet and mix with their peers, hear first-hand about key developments through real life case study presentations, and partake in debate on today's major technology issues.
We work in close collaboration with Puppet to produce the most engaging and relevant content and title for the forum. We then took responsibility on all the production and marketing which came with running a bespoke event, from sourcing the venue, organising refreshments, ensuring all marketing both online and print was covered in addition to having a representative from Computing chairing the morning.
As well as having the event organised on behalf of Puppet, they gained a great amount of exposure both online and at the event. The Forum which had a turnout of 40 delegates on the day, was entirely tailored to Puppet and allowed them to catch the attention of this audience for the whole morning, without the added pressure of competition being present.
Having their partners QA Consulting join them also meant that they had effective case studies present. Computing also sourced an end user speaker who was more than happy to discuss the importance of the topic which, along with Computing research, provided strong evidence which backed Puppets messaging even further.

On Day 4 of my trip to Death Valley, I relocated my base camp, then set out for my next photo.
This entry was posted on March 19, 2014 at 9:53 am and is filed under 8x10, Photo Trips, Photography.	You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
Feels odd to have gone through all of your videos from the start and now be back in "real time", having to wait for each new snippet of your adventure.
Hopefully I'll have my next adventure up in a couple months or so. I'm already in the process of getting geared up for it. Thanks for watching!
Love your work and your videos, very inspiring!
Had a question if you don't mind.
I love how you keep the "twilight look" in your images that are made after/before the sun has gone down/risen.
What I mean is, in those particular images you elegantly respect the darkness that is experienced during those times. When viewing those images, they don't seem dark to me at all, in fact after viewing them for a while they seem quite bright…I think this is due to the darkness elsewhere in the image?
So my questions is, (and truthfully I'm not trying to get to technical here) but what does your histogram look like for these images? is it even close to the right side of the histogram wall?
Bottom line, I'm curious how you get such a beautiful dark mysterious look, but at the same time, they are plenty bright.
A few images I'm talking about: Including the one in this particular post.
Thanks for the kind words Raynor! It took me a while to learn how to most effectively shoot during this time of day since film has a real tough time with dark exposures. I expose each scene so that I have full detail in the deepest shadows, which will sometimes make a evening/morning photo look more like a daylight photo. In this case of this photo, the image you see here is very representative of the scan. I didn't have to darken it very much to give it that moody feel. I have just enough detail in the distant mountains to have a full tonal range.
My original photo from the Dot District is one where the film looks like a daytime exposure, so I had to darken it down in post to restore the evening look. The same is true for Genesis and Evening's Embrace. If I had exposed for them to be true to the darkness of the scene, they would have blocked up shadows. It's a bit like exposing to the right with digital. Go as bright as you can to capture all the necessary tones, then darken down in post to restore the night look.
My apologies on the delayed response.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question! Your approach to creating images like the ones mentioned makes perfect sense. Ill give it a go next time im out photographing in these types of lighting situations.

Northrop Frye
Diane Dubois
LAST MODIFIED: 26 July 2017
Herman Northrop Frye (July 14, 1912–January 23, 1991) was misunderstood for decades as a literary taxonomist or member of the archetypal school of literary criticism. Since the late 1970s his work has been subjected to wide reappraisal, revealing not only that his entire output was the result of a highly personal project but also that a spiritual quest and social mission runs throughout. While wrestling with William Blake's perplexing symbolism as a divinity student in the 1930s, the centrality of biblical imagery in the literary canon became clear to him. From this project Frye's critical method evolved, as he attempted to perfect a systematic approach to literature that could render any text comprehensible. Frye was astoundingly prolific, writing over thirty books and producing hundreds of book chapters, journal articles, book reviews, editorials, lectures, occasional papers, and sermons. Frye usually wrote about literature, but he also wrote on Christianity and other religions, on education, culture and politics, film, and painting. Situated within the University of Toronto for most of his life, he championed Canadian literature and art before it was fashionable to do so and even produced a handful of short stories. His writings have been assembled and edited to form the Collected Works of Northrop Frye, a collection of thirty volumes published by the University of Toronto Press in an immense project that began in 1993 and took just under two decades to complete. The Pratt Library of Victoria University at the University of Toronto holds a huge archive, including copies of literary works hand-annotated by Frye, these notations providing the most recent primary texts for Frye scholars to dig through for fresh material and insight. Despite his enormous output, Frye tells the same story over and over, of the revelatory and redemptive power of the written word. Frye believed that an education in the humanities was the basis of a democratic society. His "concern and freedom" thesis promotes a stance that is both imaginative and critical; laying between the two extremes of conservatism and radicalism, it promotes thinking beyond the simple reiteration of societal norms and values, without tipping into a potentially hazardous laissez-faire. Politically, Frye can be best described as a left-leaning liberal who, so committed to his belief in the social mission of literary criticism, frequently produced populist and accessible versions of his key ideas to disseminate these to a general audience.
Frye 1957 is the most comprehensive statement of Frye's ideas about literature and is a must-read for every Frye scholar. Frye begins by defending the need for a systematic literary criticism that does not rest on "taste" or value judgements or borrow its methodology from other disciplines or extraliterary concerns. The first of Frye's four essays divides literature into five modes—mythic, romantic, high mimetic, low mimetic, and ironic—each associated with, but not rigidly aligned to, a specific historical period; revising ideas first worked out in Frye 1950, the second essay shows how literary symbols operate in accordance to five phases, ranging from simple descriptive function to the most profoundly revelatory, which he calls anagogic. In the anagogic phase, all archetypes are intertextually connected, providing a revelatory and transcendental apprehension of literature as an autonomous and self-generating Order of Words. His third essay aligns the four mythoi of romance, irony, tragedy, and comedy to the seasons of summer, autumn, winter, and spring, showing how literature embodies the entirety of human desire and also its demonic inversion; see also Frye 1957 (cited under Shakespeare). In the fourth essay, Frye formulates a rhetorical criticism, and, in his conclusion, Frye begins to speculate on the social role of literary criticism; for more on the latter, see entries under Politics and Cultural Theory.
Frye, Northrop. "Levels of Meaning in Literature." The Kenyon Review 12.2 (1950): 246–262.
This material is incorporated into the second essay of Frye 1957. Draws on Dante's notion of polysemy, stated in a letter to Can Grande della Scala, where Dante, using a medieval method also used by biblical exegetes, described his own work as polysemous, that is, having multiple layers of meaning, ranging from the literal, through the allegorical and moral to the most profound, revelatory level, the anagogic.
Frye, Northrop. Anatomy of Criticism: Four Essays. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1957.
Making reference to a staggering breadth of material, Frye presents a persuasive literary typology. Then, in his final essay, Frye writes about Menippean satire, a "creative treatment of exhaustive erudition" and delivers his punchline—that another name for Menippean satire is the anatomy (p. 311). Thus Frye playfully acknowledges that his book is a creative, utopian fiction, positing, while simultaneously satirizing the (im)possibility of an encyclopedic overview of literature.

Teaching the Globe
Indigenous Video Games
Lesson Plan from "Global Indigenous Media" Syllabus
Quick Description
This lesson introduces students to the development of Indigenous video games. The lesson asks students to make informed inferences about a particular video game that represents some of the issues and potentials of this emerging site of production for Indigenous artists. It could be used in courses related to Indigenous media, Indigenous politics, minority media, video games, media and commodification, and globalization. Students will gain experience with video game analysis and apply what they have learned in previous weeks to understand a new medium.
Learning Objective(s)
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Apply their understanding of Indigenous media, common political and cultural goals of Indigenous media production, and trends in representation and narrative
Examine a work from an emerging area of Indigenous media
Analyze and evaluate where games converge and diverge with other forms of Indigenous media
These objectives support the overall objectives of the course to survey key foundational films and texts in Indigenous media studies, teach skills for analytical reading and discussion, and apply readings and discussion to analyze and interpret media productions.
Course Plan
In my Indigenous Global Media course, this lesson occurs toward the end of the semester at week twelve, which covers Indigenous animation and gaming. Students will already be familiar with many forms of Indigenous media at this point, offering an opportunity to put a video game in conversation with other productions we have discussed previously. In addition, because it is paired with a lesson the previous class period on animation, this session can build on the politics of children's media, cultural preservation, strategic traditionalism, and visual sovereignty. Although this course is designed to include weekly screenings, this lesson would include media observation during class time. The lesson will ask students to practice close analysis and interpretation of media, which will start preparing them to write the final paper at the end of the course.
Students will be assigned to read the following:
Jason Edward Lewis' chapter "A Better Dance and Better Prayers: Systems, Structures, and the Future Imaginary in Aboriginal New Media" from Coded Territories: Tracing Indigenous Pathways in New Media Art. University of Calgary Press, 2014. [free e-book available through Calgary Press]
A brief set of game analysis guidelines (available at: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/comparative-media-studies-writing/cms-300-introduction-to-videogame-studies-fall-2011/assignments/game-analysis/MITCMS_300F11_GameAnaGuide.pdf ).
Click image for book review
These readings will prepare students to think critically about games and their relationship to Indigenous media. The Lewis chapter will also be important as a recap to the lesson as it posits a clear political vision for the practice of Indigenous video game development. By comparing this vision to the game we analyze in class, we can begin to ask questions about what Indigenous media should look like and how it is defined.
Student-Centered Activity
The student-centered activity involves examining and analyzing a video game, Never Alone (2014). It is the first game produced by the Indigenous-owned video game company Upper One Games, a subsidiary of the Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC), a nonprofit based in Anchorage Alaska that serves Alaska Native and American Indian peoples. CITC partnered with E-Line Media to produce the game in hopes of generating a new source of revenue to promote sustainability and improve funding for their services. This activity will ask students to complete a game prediction, giving them an opportunity to make informed guesses about what they expect to happen in the game and what issues that we have discussed previously in the course are of relevance here. A mini-lecture (10-20 minutes) will be given at the start of class that introduces students to key terminology and concepts for game analysis and briefly contextualize the production of Never Alone, its commercial success, and overall reception. Part of this mini-lecture will be based on a blogpost by game developer Ryan Oliver about the cost of Never Alone for Inuit communities in Nunavut (available at: http://pinnguaq.com/blog-all/91 ), reminding us to keep questions of the digital divide and the tension between local needs and the politics of globalized Indigenous media in mind.
After the mini-lecture, we will watch the prelude to Never Alone. A volunteer will play through part of the first chapter (a good time to pause is during the polar bear chase when the fox arrives – the game pauses for a few seconds to teach you how to switch between characters). The class will be divided into small groups of 2-3 and will be asked to answer several questions. After 15-20 minutes for them answer the questions, another volunteer will play the game for about 10 minutes. We will discuss how each group answered the questions and whether or not their predictions changed as the game continued. In the remaining time, the class will focus on the Lewis chapter and put his call for radical game development in conversation with what we have examined and observed in Never Alone as a way to reflect on the broader field of Indigenous games.
A laptop with a copy of Never Alone (2014), Upper One Games (available for download on Steam and Amazon, $14.99 USD)
A projector
Questions, either displayed on the projector or as a handout
The mini-lecture will set up the activity, preparing students for the particular task of game analysis that they will be asked to complete during the activity by reviewing key terms and concepts from the guidelines they were asked to read. The mini-lecture should also contextualize Never Alone in a way that emphasizes key themes we have discussed previously such as the digital divide, production constraints, commodification of Indigenous content, and self-representation. This will prime students to make connections between the game and other productions and topics, and prepare to make predictions based on what they already know.
Directions for Students
Before watching the prelude for Never Alone, tell students that they will watch the opening and play a few minutes in order to make predictions. After finding a good stopping place in the game, divide students into small groups and ask them to answer questions (either on a handout or projected on the board). Students will have 15-20 minutes to answer the questions and should be sure to explain how they predicted the answer, either based on something specific they saw during the brief viewing or based on a concept/topic related to another media production we have discussed. Another volunteer will play the game for about 10 minutes (this will give students time to play through some of the puzzles/chapters, and to view some of the unlockable cultural insights, which are short documentary segments about Alaska Native peoples). At the end, they will be asked to share what they predicted and discuss what key aspects influenced our predictions.
Students will be asked to predict the following:
Based on other Indigenous media productions we have looked at and what you have just seen, what do you expect were the developers' goals in making Never Alone?
What kind of information do you think will be presented in the "cultural insights"?
Why do you think the developers decided to make a platform puzzle game?
How do you expect the representation of the Arctic and Inupiat to compare to other depictions that are part of the Arctic imaginary?
How do you expect the game to balance cultural specificity and authenticity with appeals global Indigenous identity and politics?
Following the activity, discussion of the Lewis chapter should lead to broader questions about the potential for games to be used to empower communities, especially youth, through involvement with media production and about areas where we can expect to see continued negotiation between corporate interests in cultural storytelling and media activists who employ media as a way to respond to hegemonic forces and formulate spaces for visual sovereignty. Other take-home points include an understanding of the differences in games that make them a powerful option for Indigenous media-makers that is increasingly important as a way to engage young people in the community and reach a global audience. Fundamentally, the activity and reading should help students understand that the hardware and software of games as ideological systems.

Duke Horn is a long time competitive Flying Aces Club (FAC) scale modeler from Dallas. This morning Duke came over around 10:00 a.m. for coffee, donuts and some modeling "Show and tell". I showed Duke several of my models and then Sue fixed us lunch. After lunch, Duke went out to his car and brought in his Curtiss SBC-3 Helldive. This is one beautiful competition scale rubber model biplane and so well done. It was everything I expected it to be and more. We positioned the Helldiver up on the work table and I took a number of pictures of it that I want yopu to see.
The first ship was built to plan and then I installed a RC system out of one of them GWS sticks, just secured the stick inside that fuse and hooked up the controls, she flew great but eventually bit the dust. The current iteration is going to be rubber powered, cannot wait to fly her.
In the future I have another project planned for the Dumas kit of the SBC-3, I really want to make a full house RC hot rod, she may not last forever but oh wont she be a hoot to fly while she does last.

Joe is King – NXT TakeOver Toronto Recap
November 20, 2016 Matt Dowd
NXT, PPVs, Recaps
Live from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario Canada, NXT TakeOver Toronto did not disappoint. There is a new NXT Champion (the first ever two time NXT champion) and new Tag Team Champs.
Samoa Joe vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the NXT Championship
The build to this match was fantastic, and it was a great one. It felt like a PPV Title Match. Samoa Joe eventually hit the Muscle Buster for the win to become the first two time NXT Champion. I feel like Joe is in some sort of purgatory. They don't necessarily need him on the main roster, because where would you put him? They don't need another heel that they'll poorly utilize. Shinsuke on the other hand could be headed to the show, which would explain the title loss. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we see Shinsuke on one of the main shows within the next week, maybe even tonight in Toronto.
Mickie James vs Asuka for the NXT Women's Championship
If there is one thing I can say about Mickie James, she displayed no ring rust in this one. That said, this was the Asuka show all the way. I don't expect her to drop that belt for quite a while, probably not until TakeOver San Antonio or TakeOver Orlando for Rumble or Mania weekend respectively. This was a good match, not wildly memorable or anything, but it worked. Asuka retains the title with the Asuka Lock.
The Revival vs DIY for the NXT Tag Team Championship
I'm a pretty hardcore Revival mark, but this match went exactly like it needed to. The four men put on what will undoubtedly be the match of the entire Survivor Series weekend. The Revival played their role perfectly, and Tomaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano are your new NXT Tag Team Champions. Just a fantastic match. I highly recommend giving it a once over.
The Authors of Pain vs TM61 for the Dusty Rhodes Trophy
This wasn't a bad match by any means, but I'm a little disappointed with the outcome. Paul Ellering was in a cage hanging over the ring, which was weird, but he was still barking out orders from the cage. The AoP had to win this one clean, with no tricks or anything, but I still think letting a heel team win the trophy is a bad call. They're not going to show it any respect. Triple H did make an appearance, coming out to present the trophy. It was quick.
The Perfect 10 Tye Dillinger vs The Glorious Bobby Roode
This was another great one. An entire choir took to the stage to sing the Glorious Domination theme song as Roode kicked off the evening in Toronto. This was a homecoming for both of these guys, Roode actually from Toronto and Dillinger from Niagara Falls. I really expected Roode to lose, mostly because I think it would make his gimmick more fun if he lost all the big matches, but he hits one hell of an implant DDT on Tye and picks up the pinfall.
So how'd we do with our predictions:
I didn't clean sweep this one like I did Hell in a Cell, which is a bummer, but we both went 3 for 5 on this one. I got Joe winning the championship, he picked correctly in the Authors of Pain win.
All in all it was a good show. NXT is hurting a little bit. People aren't really talking about NXT like they were previously with Bayley and Balor at the helm of the ship. That arena was still full and everyone in there loved it. What did you think?

Currently, when a user has confirmed their GDPR export or erase request the site admin does not receive a notification or any visual indication that the request has been confirmed. Outside of visiting the Export/Erase pages they will have no way of knowing whether or not the request has been confirmed.
I'm suggesting a notification bubble (similar to when there are comments or plugin updates available) that will indicate the total number of export and erase requests that have been confirmed.

@scott.deluzio thanks for the patch.
I tested 44000.patch but got three notices when I deleted requests.
44000.2.diff is a suggestion that uses the wp_count_user_requests() function approach in #44034. The patch there would need to be applied here as well to test.
This counts the confirmed user requests for both export and erase, adds them together and displays a bubble count next to the Tools menu.
It also checks for the erase_others_personal_data and erase_others_personal_data capabilities, before displaying the bubble count.
So this approach can handle the case if user has e.g. erase_others_personal_data but not export_others_personal_data, so it would only display the bubble count for confirmed erase requests.
Further adjustments would be to add bubble counts to the sub-menus.
44000.3.diff takes a similar approach as #43954 (43954.2.diff) and adds the Tools bubble directly into the wp-admin/menu.php file, instead of using a filter. It also re-uses the .plugin-count and .plugin-updates CSS classes as well.
I don't think we can add the submenus directly to the wp-admin/menu.php file as well, because we don't have specific submenu files, to use the in the $submenu['tools.php'] array. So we could look further into what's the best way to add bubbles to the submenus here.
ps: We array cast the counting object, in 44000.2.diff and 44000.3.diff, since it seems problematic to do $obj->request-confirmed with a dash in the property name.
44000.4.diff adds the bubble count to the corresponding submenus of the Tools menu, but there's not enough space for it, as we can see in tools-submenu-bubbles.JPG.
@birgire thanks for the feedback/updates on this. Regarding the issue you pointed out in 44000.4.diff with there not being enough space for the bubble. Could that be resolved by a float:left; style on the bubble? The bubbles would then be on the correct line, and the text would then wrap to a new line.
Alternatively, renaming the submenus to shorter names would fix this issue. Something like Export PII, and Erase PII, perhaps?
This ticket was mentioned in Slack in #gdpr-compliance by scottdeluzio. View the logs.
but I don't see an obvious solution at the moment.

Other Religions Atheism and Agnosticism
"CE" and "BCE" vs. "AD" and "BC"?

Key Figures in Atheism

Austin Cline, a former regional director for the Council for Secular Humanism, writes and lectures extensively about atheism and agnosticism.
There is a trend among scholars towards using "BCE" and "CE" as year markers rather than "BC" and "AD". As abbreviations for Before the Common Era (BCE) and Common Era (CE), they do not specifically privilege Christianity (the criticism of using "BC" and "AD") and instead simply make reference to the fact that we are living in an era shared in common between Christianity and other religions—though Christianity and Judaism are the two religions usually in mind. Some regard this secular preference for BCE and CE as anti-Christian or an atheist conspiracy against Christianity. Here are the facts.
BC and AD as Christian Dating Conventions
The tradition in the West is to base the count of our years around the alleged time when Jesus would have been born. Every year since his birth is "A.D." which stands for the Latin phrase "anno Domini" ("in the year of the Lord"), first used by the monk Dionysius Exiguus. Every year before his birth, counting backward is "B.C," or "Before Christ." Defining dates on not only the existence of Jesus but also his role as a religious figure is a preference granted to Christianity that is unavailable to any other religion or belief system. This is a natural problem for secular academia.
Also ignored is the fact that even if Jesus existed, there is no clear consensus on when exactly he would have been born. So even if one assumes that it is legitimate to use Christianity as the basis for how we define our dates and years, we can't assume that we are doing it correctly. If we're doing it wrong we should change it, but it's far too late to make changes. So what do we do?
BCE and CE as Dating Conventions
Use of BCE and CE has been growing in recent years, but they aren't nearly as new as many Christians seem to assume. More and more academic publications have been using BCE and CE, but especially BCE because they are discussing non-Christian cultures, religions, and politics. The World Almanac switched over to BCE and CE for the 2007 edition and other more popular publications have been following suit. In a few other cases, like the Kentucky School System, efforts to switch over were reversed after some Christians protested.
The idea of a Common Era instead of Anno Domini has been around for centuries, but the label used to be Era Vulgaris. We must remember that in the past, "vulgar" simply referred to the common people and the countryside and was not necessarily derogatory. The earliest use of this appears to be a 1716 book by John Prideaux, a bishop in England who wrote about "The vulgar era, by which we now compute the years from his incarnation." Because "vulgar" later came to denote something indecent, though, this use seems to have fell out of favor.
By the 19th century, the use of BCE was common in Jewish writings. Judaism has its own calendar, of course, but if they are writing something they expect non-Jews to read, it helps to use a more recognized dating convention. Since they don't believe that Jesus is their Lord, however, it would be inappropriate for them to use AD—and even BC suggests a primacy of Christianity. Use of BCE and CE thus became common long before Christians started using the labels themselves.
Why Use BCE and CE Instead of BC and AD?
There are several good reasons to choose BCE and CE over BC and AD:
AD is almost certainly inaccurate—if Jesus existed, he almost certainly wasn't born in the year suggested.
BC and AD privilege the role of Christianity in a society where it is no longer the defining belief system (separation of church and state, remember?)
BC and AD imply the validity or truth of Christian theology—specifically, that Jesus is a god.
BC and AD force non-Christians to imply or acknowledge the supremacy of Christianity.
AD is awkward to use with centuries as opposed to specific dates—"12th century CE" while "12th century AD" means " the 12th century in the year of our Lord," which makes little sense.
Opposition to BCE and CE tends to be based on religious rather than academic grounds, thus demonstrating that using them involves submitting to a religious agenda.
Perhaps it isn't much, but every time you use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD, you are showing respect for non-Christian cultures/religions as well as refusing to submit yourself and your writings to a Christian agenda that is all about asserting dominion over culture, politics, society, and even your very thought processes.
Domination is frequently founded on little things that people take for granted and/or don't feel are individually worth the trouble of fighting. Collectively, though, all those little things add up to quite a lot and make domination far easier. When we learn to question the little things and resist taking them for granted, it becomes easier to question the big things as well, thus making resistance to the entire superstructure of privilege easier.

CA Told It Can't Sue Wang and Ex-CFO
A judge scolds the company for trying to "railroad" him into setting aside a statute of limitations on a settlement deal with shareholders.
Stephen TaubOctober 11, 2007
CA Inc. on Wednesday suffered a setback in its attempt to alter a 2003 shareholder settlement agreement so it could sue former top executives who were not part of the deal, including a former chief financial officer.
Federal judge Thomas Platt told CA it missed its chance three years ago to alter the settlement agreement, which protects former executives from being sued for the software giant's $2.2 billion accounting scandal, Newsday reported. The agreement included a one-year statute of limitations on reopening the settlement.
CA wants to pursue restitution from former chairman Charles Wang, former chief financial officer Peter Schwartz and several others who have not settled claims with the company, according to the report. Back in April, a special litigation committee for the CA board released a report alleging that the men directed and participated in the fraud and cover-up, the paper said. But Platt reportedly told the company he would not allow it to "railroad this court."
A CA spokeswoman told Newsday, "We are awaiting the final hearing on the decision and considering all of our options, including potential appellate remedies."
Former CA chairman and CEO Sanjay Kumar pled guilty in April 2006 to eight charges, including conspiracy, fraud, and obstruction of justice. Last November, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison and was fined $8 million for his role in the accounting fraud.
Kumar and other CA executives were accused of backdating contracts to inflate revenue. He and other executives were charged with instructing salespeople to complete deals after the quarter had closed, which came to be known inside the company as the "35-day month."
Ira Zar, a former CFO of CA, received a relatively light sentence of seven months in prison and seven months of home detention.

Jiangxi  () es una de las veintidós provincias que, junto con las cinco regiones autónomas, cuatro municipios y dos regiones administrativas especiales, conforman la República Popular China. Su capital es Nanchang; otras ciudades importantes son Ji'an, Ganzhou, Pingxiang y Jiujiang. Limita al norte con Hubei y Anhui, al noreste con Zhejiang, al este con Fujian, al sur con Cantón y al oeste con Hunan.

Jiangxi tiene una extensión de 166 900 km² y su población es de más de 42 millones de habitantes (2003), un 99% de ellos de etnia Han. El clima de la provincia es húmedo y templado, con temperaturas que no superan los 32 °C en verano.

Historia
La unificación de China durante la dinastía Qin significó la incorporación de Jiangxi en el imperio Qin. La colonización durante este periodo dio origen a los primitivos asentamientos en la provincia, muchos de las cuales han perdurado hasta nuestros días.

Durante el  se construyó en la región parte del Gran Canal de China. A principios del , la importancia del canal empezó a decrecer; al mismo tiempo la provincia empezó a empobrecerse.

La región es rica en recursos minerales y es la provincia china con más depósitos de cobre, wolframio, oro, plata, uranio, torio y tántalo. Destaca también el cultivo de arroz así como de algodón y colza. La provincia es una de las más pobres de China. Su proximidad a algunas de las provincias más ricas del país ha hecho que gran parte del capital económico e intelectual emigre de Jiangxi.

This study investigates performance thresholds of hot mix asphalt pavements in terms of health risks from vibrations affecting drivers of passenger cars on urban roads. The whole-body vibration values in vertical direction are measured at various riding speeds at some pavement sections that are on the pavement condition index (PCI) rating scale proposed by the PAVER system, while the vibration values (VDVz) are calculated. Evaluation results reveal that pavement performance levels have to be at least "fair" (PCI scale range between 55 and 70) to ensure that the health of human body is not negatively affected at 50 km/h riding speed during a daily 8-hour driving.


Wellington/Canberra — Vote hungry Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has angered many and created diplomatic spat with New Zealand and Australia by linking the Christchurch mosque shooting with a World War I battle targeting Islam.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Wednesday Foreign Minister Winston Peters will travel to Turkey to "confront" comments made by Erdogan on the killing of at least 50 people at two mosques.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison condemned "reckless" and "highly offensive" comments made by Erdogan, warning he would consider "all options" in reviewing ties.
Erdogan made these comments at a campaign rally that included video footage of the shootings which the alleged gunman had broadcast on Facebook.


Washington, Nov 23 (IANS) NASA is concerned over the strains of the bacterium Enterobacter, identified on the toilets of the International Space Station's (ISS), which can raise potential health implications for future missions, say Indian-origin scientists at the US space agency.
Five strains of 'Enterobacter' bacterium isolated from the space toilet and the exercise platform on the ISS in March 2015 were investigated in a study led by a team from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and California Institute of Technology (Caltech), US.
Genome sequencing of the samples revealed that all five strains belonged to a single species, Enterobacter bugandensis (E.bugandensis).
While these were not pathogenic to humans, E.bugandensis was linked to disease in neonates and a compromised patient, who were admitted to three different hospitals (in east Africa, Washington state and Colorado), the researchers said.
"Given the multi-drug resistance results for these ISS E.bugandensis genomes and the increased chance of pathogenicity we have identified, these species potentially pose important health considerations for future missions," said lead author Nitin Singh from NASA-JPL Caltech.
"However, it is important to understand that the strains found on the ISS were not virulent, which means they are not an active threat to human health, but something to be monitored," he added.
For the study, published in the journal BMC Microbiology, the team compared the ISS strains to all publicly available genomes of 1,291 Enterobacter strains collected on Earth.
They found that the ISS isolates had similar antimicrobial resistance patterns to the three clinical strains found on Earth and that they included 112 genes involved in virulence, disease and defence.
Using computer analyses, they predicted a 79 per cent probability that they may potentially cause disease.
"Whether or not an opportunistic pathogen like E.bugandensis causes disease and how much of a threat it is, depends on a variety of factors, including environmental ones," said Kasthuri Venkateswaran, Senior Research Scientist at the JPL.
"Further in vivo studies are needed to discern the impact that conditions on the ISS, such as microgravity, other space, and spacecraft-related factors, may have on pathogenicity and virulence," he noted.


This plant is a mat forming annual.
Stems are vine-like and grow up to 5 feet long.
Fowers are yellow with 5 petals.
Fruits break into 5 section with 2 sharp spines resemling the head of a goat.
Also called "goathead" or "sandbur".
Puncturevine is native to southern Europe. It grows in pastures, cultivated fields, roadsides, and waste areas. The burs can injure livestock if present in hay, and are a nuisance to people and pets. The seeds are viable for up to 5 years and the tremendous seed bank present may make eradication difficult.
2,4-D may be applied to seedlings as they emerge throughout the growing season. Speed Zone is labeled for puncturevine and may be used in turf and ornamentals. Contact your local weed and pest for more information.
To help reduce the seed bank present in the soil, use a blanket or fibrous cloth and drag it along the ground to pick up the burs.

Getting a freezing order can damage your wallet — official
On November 21, 2017 November 21, 2017 By Professor Andrew TettenbornIn Charterparties, Tort Law
The decision in Fiona Trust v Privalov [2016] EWHC 2163 (Comm) (noted in this blog here) has been upheld in the Court of Appeal: see SCF Tankers Ltd & Ors v Privalov [2017] EWCA Civ 1877. Readers will remember that Russian shipping conglomerate SCF (aka Sovcomflot, previously Fiona) sued another Russian businessman for serious money, alleging that he had bribed its officers to enter into all sorts of disadvantageous agreements, and in support of the action got a freezing order for something over half-a-billion dollars. Having recovered a measly $16 million, it was then hit by Males J with an order on its undertaking in damages amounting to something close to $50 million — a costly victory indeed. Little of substance to report about the CA decision: it essentially approved the findings below on causation and mitigation. Males J's judgment, and our blog post, remain the go-to place for detailed discussion of the principles to be applied.

« Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!
First They Came for the Evolutionary Biologists »
Mister Charles Darwin Had the Gall to Ask
Published February 13, 2011	Astronomy, Physics, and Related Fields , Evolution Closed
Tags: Evolution
A quick follow-up to yesterday's Darwin Day post: it's hardly an original insight to note that Creationists will often refer to evolution as "Darwinism" and people who accept evolution as "Darwinists". I may be wrong on this, but I don't think I've heard an actual evolution proponent refer to themselves in that way. I don't call myself a Darwinist or Darwinian (the latter has always sounded to me like something out of Tolkien) any more than I would call myself an Einsteinian or Einsteinist for accepting relativity, or a Schroedingerian or Heisenbergian or whatever for teaching quantum mechanics.
I suppose it's another way to both discredit evolution by making it sound like the work of a single person instead of a vast collaboration operating over 150 years, and a way of making evolution proponents out to be followers of a cult. By falsely religionizing (I know it's not a word, but it should be) evolution, it can be declared to be a belief system. In such a false view, there is an equivalence between "Darwinism" and "Creationism", even though there is strong evidence for evolution and none for Creationism.

Ferring am dram FADS stage The Vicar of Dibley
Verger - Alice Tinker played by Lyndsey Kite ]Vicar - Geraldine Granger played by Karen Franklin
The preparation wasn't just learning the script. It was also watching past episodes of the show – great fun for all concerned as Ferring's F A D S prepare to take to the stage with The Vicar of Dibley as their November production.
It will be staged at Ferring Village Hall, Ferring from November 20-23 at 7.30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.
Tickets are £10 on www.ticketsource.co.uk/fa.
The TV sitcom ran from November 10 1994 to January 22 1998, set in a fictional small Oxfordshire village called Dibley, which is assigned a female vicar following the 1992 changes in the Church of England permitting the ordination of women.
Roy Stevens is directing a show which is in effect a tribute to the original exactly 25 years after it first aired.
"We are going to be trying to get as close to the TV show as possible," Roy says. "
"We are very aware that people are going to turn up expecting to see the characters from the show.
"We have done a lot of watching videos and Youtube, and you can do a lot with costumes.
"I think we have got to remember that if you try to do your own interpretation of it, then 50 per cent of the audience will go home disappointed.
"The script is lifted directly form the TV programme. People are going to recognise the scenes.
"They will be saying 'Oh yes, I remember that!'
"The guys that wrote the script are just so funny, and they have lifted like clips from the TV show for the stage show.
"It is like a compilation.
Exhibition highlights the loneliness of the elderly
"It begins with the arrival of the new female vicar (played on TV by Dawn French) in the village and her getting to know the eccentrics around the parish council, and it also deals with the love between Hugh and Alice.
"Alice is the verger and is very dippy. She goes shotgun with the vicar through the village.
"They go through the parish council together trying to win them over.
"The parish council are quite anti-Geraldine when she first arrives.
"This was when the Church of England first ordained female vicars, and there was quite a big story around the very first one to be appointed. People were very suspicious of female vicars.
"And some of the lines in the show are really quite controversial in terms of being quite insulting about female vicars – 'You can't possibly have a female vicar!', all that sort of stuff.
"But the comedy is brilliantly written.
"I think it is extremely funny, and I think people still relate to that kind of humour. You mention the show to a lot of people, and they will say 'Oh yes, it is one of my favourite TV programmes.'
"But I would not say it is timeless. A lot of the humour is not humour you would put in today's world.
"We have made no attempt to set it in modern times. It is set very much in the times in which it was written."
The cast are enjoying the challenge, as is Roy.
"The pleasure of directing, I think, is that you are able to put your own stamp on something and come up with a creation.
"It is a creative thing. I love the planning and the designing the set and blocking the actors and helping them to deliver their lines and also helping them to express themselves…
"And then hopefully, you can sit back and enjoy the show with the audience!"

Are you in need of a relaxing holiday, but at times find travel itself to be super stressful? Here are 8 tips that we have found help in easing the stress of travel so you can enjoy your much needed vacation!
Making sure that you have good coverage while travelling overseas eases so much stress from any trip. Travel isn't always smooth sailing and having that security means when things do go wrong you know you will be covered.
During our travels to Iceland last year the airline lost our luggage and we had absolutely nothing on us besides our camera for an entire week of camping. Knowing that we could go buy a warm jacket and some long pants in a very expensive country and be covered helped ease a pretty stressful situation.
We use Cover-More Travel Insurance whenever we travel.
You would think packing every single thing you may possibly need for your trip would reduce stress, but we have found that to be the complete opposite. Carrying heavy, oversized luggage around with you just adds extra stress. You will find that you don't need half the things you bring – less is more when it comes to packing!
We recommend removing the clutter from your holiday and only bringing the essentials.
There is nothing worse than starting off a trip rushing around the airport feeling like you are going to miss your flight. We recommend arriving for an international flight three hours before your flight. That way you can take your time checking in and going through security. Once you're through you can relax, enjoy a coffee and walk onto the flight feeling calm and excited for your journey.
We hate the feeling of arriving in a brand new country (usually late at night) with no clue on how we are getting to our hotel. We always recommend doing research before hand on the best way to get from your arrival to your accommodation. Sometimes taxis are the way to go, other times Uber is fantastic, some countries have cheap trains that take you straight from the airport to the city center.
Do your research in advance to avoid getting lost or over paying for a transfer.
Before we head to a new country or city we always download google maps offline. That way we can easily get around without needing any internet or sim card when we first arrive.
To do this open Google Maps on your phone, ensure you're connected to the internet, search for your destination (for example Singapore), at the bottom of the screen click the name of the city in the white bar, select download.
Now you can use Google Maps in the city that you downloaded without any internet connection.
Packing yourself a little care package for your flight really helps ease the stress of flying. You can pack it all in a ziplock bag and keep it in the pouch in front of your seat. That way you don't have to keep getting up into the overhead lockers to grab things – you will have everything right there with you.
If you are a nervous flyer we highly recommend paying the extra money to use the airport lounge. Being able to relax in the lounge while waiting for your flight can help you keep calm and be away from the hustle and bustle of the noisy airport waiting areas. Enjoy some food, have a drink (or two) and have a stress free time while waiting for your flight.
Thanks to Cover-More Travel Insurance for partnering with Flying the Nest on this post!

Attendees at the second annual "Care, Share, Aware" special-needs services program April 5 at the Senior/Community Center.
A program to show parents of special needs children the types of support services available to them was held April 5 at the township Senior/Community Center in the Municipal Complex.
Sponsored by the township Parks and Recreation Department, the event featured representatives of hospitals, schools and companies that offer services to people on the autism spectrum, as well as other special-needs students.
Among those on hand for the second annual "Care, Share, Aware" program were speech therapists, occupational therapists, behavioral therapists and representatives from Specialized Children's Hospital, said Mona Reilly, the township rec department's therapeutic program coordinator.
"It's for letting people know that people care, and to make them aware of all the opportunities, all the support, all the vendors that are out there for the families," she said.
There were also crafts – including slime-making – the "Lizard Guys" and their reptiles, a face painter and a balloon artist.
Reilly said the township plans one more event – an autistic motivational speaker – for the end of April, which has been designated Autism Awareness Month.
The department also offers programs for special-needs adults and teens, and is planning on establishing programs for middle school and pre-school special-needs students, she said.
