Agon Memedi, Hsin-Mu Tsai and Falko Dressler, "Impact of Realistic Light Radiation Pattern on Vehicular Visible Light Communication," Proceedings of IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (GLOBECOM 2017), Singapore, December 2017.
We investigate the impact of realistic light radiation pattern on Vehicular VLC (V-VLC) based on an empirical study for typical car headlight and taillight modules. Our research community identified visible light as a communication technology that has a number of advantages to radio communication. Besides the huge spectrum that is fully unlicensed, the technology allows for very high data rates and reduced interference from parallel communications. After seeing a number of breakthroughs in indoor environments, the vehicular networking community got interested in the technology for a number of reasons as well. First successful application have been reported but practical evidence is still limited. This is due to the use of very abstract simulation models and limited field testing as of now. We aim at bridging this gap by developing a realistic simulation model based on empirical data from a measurement campaign. Based on this model, we particularly investigate the impact of the light radiation pattern of typical car light modules on the communication performance. We can report that the angle and distance of the communicating cars have a significant impact and need to be carefully considered for developing V-VLC applications.

The large-scale panoramic photographs by Ellen Kooi challenge us to view the world as a dramatic narrative. She wants us to seek the border between fantasy and reality. At first glance, the people that inhabit these panoramas of (mostly Dutch) landscapes seem to be at the mercy of their surroundings. But if we look at these pictures more carefully we see a more complex relationship, as the landscape almost responses to its inhabitants. The displays of nature we see are a symbolic reflection of the inner turmoils, or indeed of the happiness of these people. In a way comparable tot nineteenth century psychological portraits, kooi tries to tell us about myths, chance encounters and our relationship with the outside world. But keeping this in mind, her works are as much concerned with the landscape as they are with the person. By forming close connections between themes set in our visual memory of history but never choosing a main focus, Kooi's works are suspensefull and hard to identify.
Using her experience in photographing both theatre and dance, Kooi creates scenes that feel familiar but look magical. Her refined techniques allow her to photograph landscapes in a way that we fail too see them. While some seem to focus on the fairytale qualities of her work, there also is a grimmer side to them. Children who at first seem to be frolicking may actually be running away scared or even petrified. A gorgeous woman doesn't gaze at the beautiful landscape, she sees the oncoming industry behind it. Like the solitary figures in the works of Caspar David Friedrich, the inhabitants of the world of Ellen Kooi are always both in awe and in distress. The contrast between a personal world of fantasy and surrounding elements that are both real and symbolic form the richness of Koois work.


I wore Yara for DRD's banquet on Sunday! I wore this, since I wanted something gold and green to go with my black dress (plus, the bf was wearing a green shirt, almost like the base color of this polish). The banquet was really fun, the first formal event DRD's had in a long time!
Zoya's formula is usually superb, and this one doesn't disappoint either. Two beautifully smooth, opaque coats shown in this picture. More pics after the jump! I liked this polish way too much to choose only 2 pics!

The AQUA SPINE is an innovative multi-modular system for all surfaces that may be inaccessible for AQUA CUTTER robots. It's used extensively on shore and offshore constructions as well as hydro- and nuclear power plants. In other words, the power of the AQUA SPINE can turn seemingly impossible tasks into new possibilities.
The system can be positioned directly on concrete by anchor bolts or supported by carriers such as hydraulic platforms, cranes and scaffoldings. It can be tailored, assembled and modified for specific tasks according to your own specifications. All power and control functions are provided by a standard Power Control Unit (PCU) or by any of our AQUA CUTTER robots.
The AQUA SPINE has two different rail systems: DUAL or TRIPLE. Both are interchangeable within the system. You can use DUAL in confined areas or when you have several accessible attachment points to fix the rail. The TRIPLE rail is used for longer free span, up to 6 meters between the supports, horizontally or free standing.
Other sizes and configurations are availible upon request.
As standard the Aqua Spine is delivered as a free-standing unit that can be placed wherever preferred. It is delivered with support legs that can be bolted to the floor, a wall or the ceiling.
It can then be supplemented to fit any task you can imagine.
The length and width of the Aqua Spine are very easy to adapt to different situations. Just add or remove Spine sections or roller beam sections and start the operation.
The Aqua Spine can be equipped with a Circular Power Head to operate pillars above or below water. Pillar clamps are available manual with straps or fully hydraulic.
The Aqua Spine can easily be supported by an existing scaffolding structure.
Brackets for mounting the Aqua Spine directly to the surface saves a lot of space to achieve special tasks.
The Aqua Spine can be bolted to almost any surface and can also be operated under water.
Thanks to the modular design the Aqua Spine can be brought in through narrow openings and also operate in very narrow spaces.
Thanks to the Aqua Spines design with a single feed beam it is very easy to adapt to a wide range of applications.
All our AQUA CUTTER robots feature our patented EDS system, short for Equal Distance System. The EDS system keeps a preset distance from the nozzle to the concrete surface, regardless of the attack angle of the water jet. This is a major advantage. Standard systems without EDS make the water jet lose a lot of power before it hits the concrete.
How do you reach corner areas where the wall and floor meet? Usually you need some kind of handheld trimming equipment. We have solved this problem in an ingenious way. With our robots you'll finish the job with only one overpass thanks to unique lance control and the EDS system. No hand lances. No adjustments. Perfect results.

Cross section scale
By Jeremy Croes,
March 22, 2012 in MODFLOW
Jeremy Croes
I have a question about the scale in cross sections.
I´ve noticed that when I make a cross section and use a scale bar from the annotation data, the distance between my two modelled wells are different than when I measure the distance between those same wells when looking from the plan view.
Also, this distance changes depending on whether I use the front or the side view.
Is it possible to change this scale so that the cross section displays the "real" distance?
Edited March 22, 2012 by Jeremy Croes
Michael Kennard
The scale should be the same in every view. Perhaps it's a bug with the scale bar. I tried it in the latest GMS and it seems to work fine. What version are you using? FYI in the development version of GMS we've added a measure tool that you might find useful.

Home Sports How Do Robo Umps Work?
The technology is not as far off as it may seem. From 2006 to 2017, every MLB stadium had a system called PITCHF/x to track pitches. Starting in the 2017 season, PITCHF/x was replaced by a system called TrackMan.
TrackMan powers Major League Baseball's Statcast. In addition to tracking every pitch in a more precise way, the system tracks every object in the field of play. The system has been used to track sprint speeds of outfielders, catch probabilities, exit velocities, launch angles and more. TrackMan works by using even more cameras and sensors in all 30 MLB stadiums as well as 80 minor league baseball stadiums to pinpoint every ball, player and more. Despite the revolutionary advances TrackMan has allowed fans and teams, it still has problems which must be solved before replacing home place umpires. TrackMan also has issues with the Doppler effect and has been found to be susceptible to interference and potential sabotage by radio frequency waves. Even rain affects the accuracy of the system.

Q: Can't move tabs in PHP Storm I'm trying to drag navigation tabs to new positions (and also to a different screen) in the editor in PHP Storm - I used to be able to do it but now it won't let me.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I'm on the EAP and have been switching between that and the stable release.
[edit] I've gone in to preferences/settings and checked tab-related settings, so far no joy.

A: I had the same problem, and for me it was "Drag-n-drop with alt pressed only". Had to turn it off. You can search for it with just "ALT"

A: If anyone still experiences this problem - the most common reason of being unable to change order of tabs by drag and drop is having one of Tab Order options enabled. Here is where it sits:

Several ant species herd aphids in much the same way that humans herd cattle and take their milk. Instead of milk, however, aphids excrete a sugary honeydew that the ants devour.
Ants go to great lengths to care for their aphids, often training them to defecate in a way that makes it easier for the ants to gather and eat the honeydew. In fact, the well-trained aphids will often withhold their honeydew until they are stroked and "milked" by ants.
Even more fascinating, ants will typically carry their aphids to new pasture lands and protect them from predators. In extreme cases, ants will clip off the wings of their "domesticated" aphids to prevent them from flying away when they mature.


I am watching my cats climb everything in the house because I'm refusing them freedom until the family of robins in the tree adjacent to our balcony has their fledglings skyward. Twice my female cat has escaped, and within minutes she's had a baby bird in her paws. We have chased her down each time and even returned the young bird to the tree in a shoebox nest as we couldn't reach the original nest. Another time the bird was able to retreat on its own.
It means a lot to me to protect the baby robins and help the parents keep their family safe. Most of us regardless of our prejudices will go above and beyond to protect the young.
In my own home this past week, I have felt, at times, that my young people were my persecutors. Keeping me from sanity, pulling me from my legitimate tasks as well as my puttering and procrastination. Demanding food and attention at all times.
At three o'clock this morning I woke with the realization that my chief persecutor is my fear (not a new thought) and that fear makes me feel crazy. It stops me from allowing the divine order. It impairs my clear thought and mindfulness of my breath, in fact, at times, it stops my breath entirely. It is my own young man, poised for adulthood, poised for flight and my fear of a predatory world for a young black boy.
A teenager in the home, perhaps especially the first one, reminds you of all the hopes you've ever had for yourself and your children. It is a mid-point in childhood (based on the brain development studies that indicate completion to be around 24 years old.) Watching my teen wriggle through these years I pray to have given him more love, more support, more grounding and stability, to have somehow blessed him with the ability to circumvent all the strife of the teen years, of all the years. It is in my fear of failure and my lack of trust that there is deeper struggle between us. It is the fear of cats and high trees and falls without cushions. It is the crumbling nest around him that has served it's purpose and breaks apart to become a part of the world below.
Still, as the nest breaks apart and the fledglings are able to avert dangers and learn to fly, the robin parents scream and shout. They call out when we pull into the driveway, or (wrinkle brow) when the feline attacks. They chirp and call constantly for their children, who are now scattered, and they still bring them worms and such. This is nature, of which I am a part.

In case you didn't notice it's Spring time, look at this. I took it late this morning in Shuwaikh. The little flowers were in a pot and the surrounding area was full of butterflies. I don't know what family this butterfly is from, but I know I've always seen it in Kuwait. I have many childhood memories of this exact colour. I remember catching them and placing them into jars - only to watch them stop moving a while later. Before you write to the UN, we were five or six at the time.
I promised the family I would buy these flowers in the hope of attracting butterflies into our garden.
The flowers are called Lantanas & the butterfly is called Plain Tiger.
I remember seeing them too! Getting them to stay alive is difficult in Kuwait's atmosphere!
It really is. A photographer's dream.
You have to look hard to find them... Glad the sparrows are here year-round. We need more gardens! In London, the number of sparrows is declining each year because there aren't enough quiet places for them to breed.

Brexit flag battle at Britain's Last Night of the Proms
EU flags join Union Jacks usually brandished by audiences at British classical music's biggest night

LONDON, United Kingdom – It was a battle of the flags on British classical music's biggest night Saturday, September 10, as the Union Jacks usually brandished by the audience were joined by EU standards handed out by Brexit opponents.
The Last Night of the Proms is the climax of the BBC Proms – two months of mainly classical music at London's Royal Albert Hall which this year featured stars like Daniel Barenboim and Martha Argerich.
Every year, the Last Night features a series of traditional British songs including Rule, Britannia – a paean to the nation vowing "Britons never will be slaves" – during which audience members wave flags with gusto.
This time round, an online crowdfunding campaign raised over £1,000 (1,200 euros, $1,300) to pay for European Union flags for audience members "to show UK solidarity with the EU".
In response, Arron Banks, a millionaire businessman who backed the "Leave" campaign in June's referendum vote to leave the EU, told the Daily Telegraph newspaper he was putting up £5,000 for British flags.
In the end, a smattering of EU flags were visible along with the usual flood of British Union Jacks, plus flags from other countries including the US, Canada, Germany and Japan.
The BBC's website explains that, while "the Union Flag is a favorite in the Royal Albert Hall", patriotic displays from other countries are not unusual.
The Proms date back to 1895 and are broadcast around the world to millions of people.
The special guest performer at this year's Last Night of the Proms was Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez, who led the rendition of Rule, Britannia dressed as legendary Inca figure Manco Capac. – Rappler.com

Flight from Defeat: Who Helped the Germans Escape Europe?
German officers who had become prisoners of war
Did the Vatican actually help Nazi criminals "on the run" at the end of the Second World War? An Italian scholar points to another "protector"
Among the accusations directly or indirectly targeting Pius XII and the Church of his time, is the one that he and the Church he led facilitated the escape of Nazi war criminals from Germany after they were defeated and occupied by the Soviets and the Anglo-Americans. But these accusations have been proven false in a recent book by Pier Luigi Guiducci, an Italian Catholic professor and scholar who teaches Church history at the Pontifical Lateran University's "Ecclesia Mater" Institute and the Pontifical Salesian University. His book, Oltre la leggenda nera — Il Vaticano e la fuga dei criminali nazisti, Mursia, 2015 (Beyond the Black Legend — The Vatican and the Flight of Nazi War Criminals) follows an earlier work, Il Terzo Reich contro Pio XII – Papa Pacelli nei documenti nazisti, San Paolo, 2014, (The Third Reich Against Pius XII — Pope Pacelli in Nazi Documents). In both, Guiducci provides evidence against accusations that the Pope was a sort of "supporter" of the Hitler regime. He also takes the opportunity to describe the work that the Church and Catholic circles did in favor of thousands of refugees, interned, returnees and internally displaced persons, with a key distinction: while the refugees were virtually helpless and had no choice but to seek aid and to rely on Catholic charitable institutions (parishes and other charities), the Nazis on the run had no need to resort to this kind of help. The professor explains this fact in the interview that follows.
Pope Pius XII (Pope from 1939-1958)
What was the starting point of your historical research?
Professor Pier Luigi Guiducci: It all starts from the drama of civilians fleeing from Soviet troops. The latter break into Germany and then converge on Berlin, with all the ensuing atrocities: rapes, summary executions, violence of every kind.
In this context, there is a dual reality: on the one hand, we have the drama of the movement of refugees, mostly civilians. They were elderly, sick, disabled, children, mentally impaired, women. They were homeless refugees, stateless persons in most cases, who could not rely on care networks. They were literally asking for charity. They then turned to parishes, convents and religious houses… an essentially Catholic network, whose help was basically free and not motivated by nationalistic considerations.
On the other hand, we have war criminals who had great resources in terms of money, valuable assets, and acquaintances. We must not forget that Germany was allied to Italy, and that the top echelons of Hitler's establishment knew the Italian territory, with its shelters, informers, collaborators and perhaps spy networks. They did not need to rely on any parishes or religious institutions. They had their own points of reference. For example, a worldwide scoop is featured in this book: the map of the municipalities that at the time issued false IDs to these Nazi criminals. So, I repeat, this distinction between the movements of refugees and of war criminals is of paramount importance, precisely because they are two very different realities.
But then, how did these accusations against the Catholic Church, its members and its structures come about?
A series of disinformation initiatives started to come about through novels such as The Odessa File and films ("Operation Odessa"). It is ironic, then, that the Catholic Church has been accused of providing a system of protection for Nazi war criminals on the run, while little has been said of the extensive work of charity that the Church set up during and after the war. It is almost as if certain publications, in order to hide so many skeletons in the closet, have sought to divert attention to the Church by fraudulently building a "black legend." As a result, charges were made against clergy: Cardinal Giuseppe Siri, archbishop of Genoa; Msgr. Alois Hudal, rector of the German national church of Santa Maria dell'Anima (St. Mary of the Soul) in Rome; French and Argentinian prelates. All sort of things were written, and it took me years to study documents and figure out the real situation. In the end, these charges turned out to be unsubstantiated allegations that are not supported by written documents.
Can you provide some concrete examples?
As I said, in Genoa, Cardinal Siri came under fire for his alleged aid to fleeing leaders of the pro-Nazi Ustasha Croatian regime. Instead, these accusations against Siri proved groundless. According to these accusations, a Croatian priest named Petranović was closely associated to Cardinal Siri for the protection of Croatian criminals and so on. Actually, in the archive of the archdiocese I found an envelope precisely with the name "Petranović" on it and three letters inside, two of which are by Petranović himself. He was writing to Siri criticizing him precisely for a series of attitudes that he felt were hostile. And devoid of foundation were also the innuendos with regard to alleged obscure maneuvers of Croatian priest Don Draganovi. In essence, disinformation drives against the Catholic Church were implemented, while the works of charity and concrete assistance of the Catholic Church and its institutions for the salvation of the persecuted, especially the Jews, refugees, and displaced persons, have been hidden. For example, Pius XII had made available to these poor people the Propaganda Fide palace of Castel Gandolfo. The building was bombed. Hundreds of deaths. Then another problem was that of the sick and orphans, who needed to be taken care of. There were in fact children who had lost one or both parents.
Monsignor Alois Hudal, the rector of the German national church of Santa Maria dell-Anima (St. Mary of the Soul) in Rome
And what about Msgr. Hudal?
Bishop Hudal, as already said, was based at the church of Santa Maria dell'Anima (St. Mary of the Soul) in Rome and was accused of having taken anti-Jewish stands, according to his detractors. Well, studying his file I found the defense he made of Jewish children imprisoned in an internment camp. I found this documentation not only in the archive of Msgr. Hudal, but also at the bibliographic office of the Jewish national community in Rome, the UCEI (Unione Comunità Ebraiche Italiane). We found documents where he challenges the doctrine of the Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg, condemns Nazi extremism, including anti-Semitism, and condemns Aryan cults, defends the internment camp inmates because of the deplorable conditions of the camps, hides Jews in his college, and also participates in the effort to stop the roundup of Roman Jews on October 16, 1943, so as to encourage possible negotiations.
Cardinal Giuseppe Siri, archbishop of Genoa
Any stories related to the war criminals on the run?
A case that I have followed in detail, thanks to the documentation provided by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and other institutions, is the war criminal Klaus Barbie, the Gestapo chief of Lyon in France. Barbie escaped through Genoa and many have said he was supported by members of Catholic circles. Instead, declassified documents showed that Barbie had become a collaborator of the allies. In other words, he was a confidant of the US and his false IDs were provided by the United States. They were not provided, as someone wrote, by members of the Catholic Church. Ultimately, the members of the Nazi regime had forged documents; they presented themselves with new identities. We must acknowledge that the war criminals did enjoy a number of protections with which the Catholic Church had absolutely nothing to do. We began to know something about these protections after the opening of some archives, especially after 2000. And once these archives were opened, surprises started to crop up. Thus we discovered that Nazi (and not only Nazi) war criminals were received in Spain. Others, for example, found remarkable protection in Austria. But even more shocking is the protection that the Nazis received from the United States.
Can you give examples of this US "protection"?
Again, what I am telling are not mere opinions, but facts resulting from historical research. Written documents show that the United States set up the secret services of then-West Germany in an anti-Soviet function, even by resorting to former Nazi staff. It took me years to read the thousands of pages of so many files, and I found out that more than 1,000 ex-Nazis were recruited by the Americans to go to the US and make their technical expertise available. Another fact even more incredible: the protections granted by the US to Japanese war criminals. The Japanese also specialized in biological warfare, a field in which their studies were more advanced than those of their American colleagues. In order to make sure that they could lay their hands on the files concerning the bacteriological warfare, the US authorities guaranteed immunity to Japanese war criminals. The end result is all the more stunning: some of these criminals even managed to occupy important public positions. Other countries where the Nazi war criminals found refuge were those of South America and the Middle East. In Argentina, the Nazis had a remarkable organization (a study of mine is about to be published about this). In the Middle East, very many leaders were allies of the Nazis. An example: the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who was anti-Jewish and anti-British. Another astounding discovery is that if you study the history of Interpol, the international police organization, you will see that a number of pro-Nazis were part of this organization, and they hindered the search for criminals.

"It is interesting at this point to quote from a twelfth century inscription attributed to a Chola prince who arrived in Sri Lanka.
"Hail Prosperity in the year Sanbhu Puspa(i.e. One Thousand One Hundred and Forty Five) of the Saka Era ,when the Sun was in the mansion of Aries , Hasta being the constellation (in conjugation with the moon) and the point of the ecliptic at the horizon (lagna) being Aries , the illustrious Condagama deva having arrived in the unconquerable Lanka . The forehead ornament of earth to the Lord Siva at Gokarnna (Trincomalee)".
This shows the once common belief among the people of the South Indian kingdoms that despite constant invasion of Sri Lanka Could not be conquered. The truth of this only time will tell".

The Voice UK: Meghan Trainor confirmed to replace Jennifer Hudson as judge
Meghan Trainor has been announced as the new judge on The Voice UK, replacing Jennifer Hudson.
The star will join Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am and Olly Murs on the judging panel to help find and shape up-and-coming stars.
On the announcement, Meghan said she was 'excited and honoured' to be on the show, and said: 'It's a dream come true and I can't wait to sit in the chair with my own button and listen to some incredible new talent!'
JHud announced that she would be leaving after three seasons judging the show because of commitments around the upcoming Cats movie and her role in the Aretha Franklin biopic.
Taking to Twitter, she explained: 'Hey y'all! I'm sad to share that I won't be able to join my friends in the red chair for @thevoiceuk this season due to filming commitments here in the States.'
'I sure will miss my UK family, but I'll be back soon for 'Cats' and 'Respect'! Throw some shoes for me in the mean time,' she added.
'I'm so excited to come back to The Voice this year with a new energy and even a new knee – ready to defend my title as the winning Coach,' Olly Murs teased.
'It's fantastic to introduce a new Coach to the team as well and I look forward to getting to know Meghan.'
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment at ITV, added: 'Meghan Trainor is such an exciting addition to The Voice UK.
'She has blown us away with her energy and enthusiasm and, although our youngest coach, an impressive career in music set to inspire all who join Team Meghan.'
'We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks, love and luck for the future to Jennifer Hudson,' they added.
'She has been a tremendous Coach, loved by viewers and the singers she has worked with during her time on the show.'
The Voice UK returns in 2020 on ITV.

Nevados de Chillán es un complejo volcánico chileno compuesto por dieciocho volcanes ubicados en la Cordillera de Los Andes de la Región de Ñuble, cual limita las provincias de Diguillín y Punilla.

Está rodeado por diversos valles pequeños cuales conforman ríos que desembocan en otros de mayor tamaño, es el caso del río Renegado que alimenta las aguas del río Chillán y los ríos Gato y Las Minas que desembocan en el río Ñuble. Además está rodeado por pequeños pueblos como Las Trancas, Los Lleuques, Recinto, Carrizales, Coironal y el valle de Shangri-La, los centros de esquí Nevados de Chillán y Termas de Chillán y las reservas nacionales Los Huemules Del Niblinto y Ñuble.

Geografía
El complejo volcánico está formado por depósitos formados en el cuaternario, además de dioritas, granodioritas y tonalitas del mioceno. A ello cabe agregar la presencia de restos de basalto formado por lava del plioceno y las últimas erupciones. Las altitudes más altas son las del Volcán Nevado de 3.212 m y el Volcán Chillán de 3.172 m

Los Nevados de Chillán están divididos en dos subcomplejos, el primero comprende a los volcanes Santa Gertrudis, Gato, Cerro Blanco, Colcura, Calfú, Pichicalfú y Los Baños, mientras que el segundo contiene al Volcán Chillán Nuevo, Shangri-La, Viejo, Pata de perro, Parador, Chudcún, Lagunillas, Sebastián, Arrau y Nicanor.

Historia
Según las investigaciones del Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería de Chile (Sernageomin), el complejo fue formado hace 650.000 años. Entre 1861 y 1865 el complejo hizo erupción para formar el volcán Santa Gertrudis, entre 1906 y 1948 también hubo otro periodo de erupción en el cual se formó el Volcán Chillán Nuevo y entre 1973 y 1986 surgió el volcán Arrau.

Para 2005 se formó el volcán Chudcún, mientras que el volcán Sebastián nació en el 2008. Entre el 31 de diciembre de 2015 y el 8 de enero de 2016 se registró actividad en el volcán Nuevo decretándose «alerta amarilla» por el Sernageomin, la cual se mantuvo en los meses posteriores, la causa se debió a la formación del cráter del volcán Nicanor. Posteriormente fueron registrados nuevos pulsos de cenizas en febrero, mayo, y agosto de 2016. Actualmente, desde el día 5 de abril de 2018 se decreta «alerta naranja» por parte de la misma entidad gubernamental por aumento del número de sismos y actividad volcánica en el lugar.

Do you ever have days when you can't seem to find any comfortable spot for your back? Do you feel like you're always in pain even though you don't usually carry heavy loads? Do you sometimes feel discomfort even when you are just seated? If the answer to any of these is yes, then you are one of 31 million Americans reported to have experienced low back pain at some point in their lives.
Apart from that high number, equally alarming is the fact that back pain can quickly escalate from simply being a mild disturbance to a life-threatening condition. The spine's location makes it very sensitive and any injury or damage to it can affect a person's mobility.
Back pain can stop you from doing even the most basic of everyday tasks, such as bending to pick up an item, moving your torso from side to side, or even just straightening up your posture. Compounded over time, these little things can easily negatively affect your quality of life.
One of the many reasons why you should consider setting an appointment with a chiropractor is that their treatment options are cost-effective. Some people, not knowing about possible alternative treatments, end up spending more on unnecessary surgeries that may only put them at risk. On the other hand, chiropractic care is one of the alternative treatments you can pursue to make corrections to your spinal alignment, thereby giving you relief so the pain doesn't get so bad you'll require invasive treatments like surgery.
Going straight for a surgical procedure is no doubt going to be expensive, because not only will you be spending for the actual operation, but also for the continued medication for rehabilitation afterwards.
Various research studies lauding the effectiveness of chiropractic care recommend going for the most conservative option first when it comes to back treatments. Spine operations opens up the patient to a lot of risks, including irreparable spinal damage. With spinal adjustment, this risk is mitigated because of its non-invasive nature.
The effectiveness of chiropractic care has been shown to be just as strong and efficient as a combination of medical treatment and rehabilitative exercise. It has also been largely proven in studies that chiropractic manipulation can mitigate acute and chronic low back pains, making it highly recommended to those suffering from these conditions.
You also won't have to worry about being dependent on prescription pain medicine, because studies have also noted how chiropractic care achieves the same level of pain relief as drugs do.
Perhaps what makes chiropractic care a great alternative treatment is that, while it primarily focuses on relieving back pain, it can also resolve a lot of other issues, including neck, arm, and leg pains, muscle strains, headaches, and sports injuries. Your chiropractor can resolve a host of conditions that could otherwise limit your mobility without having to go on the operating table.
Spinal manipulation is not for everyone, though. There are certain conditions that can make you ineligible for chiropractic treatment, such as osteoporosis, spinal cord compression, or inflammatory arthritis. Patients with a history of cancer should get clearance from their doctor first to make sure it is safe for them to undergo spinal manipulation.
At the end of the day, whatever treatment you choose to undergo, it's still your health that matters most. This is why it's important to only seek chiropractic treatment from duly licensed and registered practitioners, such as those from Superior Healthcare Group.

A: The key insert path is indeed in tikz.code.tex.
The document doesn't compile with TeX Live 2009; so probably the upgrading of TikZ has not been done properly.


To register a user defined type as a model of rectangle concept, specialize the geometry concept meta-function for that type. In the example below CRectangle is registered as a model of rectangle concept.
The semantic of a rectangle is that it has an x and a y interval and these intervals conform to the semantic of an interval including its invariant. This invariant on the intervals of a rectangle is enforced by the generic library functions that operate on rectangles, and is not expected of the data type itself or the concept mapping of that data type to the rectangle concept through its traits. In this way a boost::tuple<int, int, int, int> or boost::array<int, 4> could be made models of rectangle by simply providing indirect access to their elements through traits.
Below is shown the default rectangle traits. Specialization of these traits is required for types that don't conform to the default behavior. The interested reader will note SFINAE is used on the traits to allow only an object that provides a member type definition of interval_type to work with the default read only traits. This becomes necessary when refinements of concepts are used and it is undesirable to attempt to match default traits to non-rectangle types at compile time. Specializing rectangle_traits can be done easily by simply providing gtl_yes as the enable parameter.

Being Human "Being Human 1955" TV REVIEW
Moving in and moving on
By Ian Berriman 13 February 2012
THE ONE WHERE Hal and Tom move in, while Leo and Pearl pass on.
VERDICT An episode which, although unlikely to live long in the memory, serves its main function – establishing the new line-up – very well. It also occasions plenty of chuckles – so many, in fact, that at times it reminds you of the less heavy-going, arc-heavy days of series one. The Odd Couple relationship between Tom and Hal is already hugely entertaining, and the rivalry between Annie and Pearl is also mightily amusing. (Speaking of Pearl, I'm going to miss her – wasn't she lovely? Hats off to Tamla Kari.)
It's pleasing to see Damien Molony – rather crowded out of the picture in the opening episode – given some material he can really sink his teeth into (so to speak). He's capable of real gravitas, and his speech about what it's like to kill is quite chilling. Also, who'd have thought that domino toppling could be invested with so much menace?
Petty complaints? Well, the depth of the love between Pearl and Leo could have benefited from being built up a little more – it does rather seem to come out of nowhere (although maybe that's a matter of the age gap between the actors getting in the way – suddenly I feel ageist for not considering the possibility of a romance). And Annie's little ceremony would have been more amusing if Mark Williams hadn't done something almost identical last week. Odd episode title, too – I was half-expecting flashbacks to when Hal, Leo and Pearl first got together, and disappointed to find there were none.
NITPICKS Firstly, why is Annie so blasé about letting a vampire she doesn't know from Adam (er, not that Adam...) move in, when there's a baby she's pledged to protect in the house? You'd think there'd at least be a discussion about that. Secondly, as a married man, I'm in a position to say this: if only finding exactly the right engagement ring was that easy…
A WARNING TO DAMIEN MOLONY Expect to start receiving parcels of Kia-Ora in the post very soon. Starting with ours.
REFERENCES Annie warps the lyrics of "You Raise Me Up" and quotes Star Wars .
NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCING EXPLANATION OF THE WEEK "We've tried running and it didn't work". Bless the writers for at least addressing the whole why-don't-they-just-move issue, but if it was me I'd definitely give running away at least one more try .
FEATURED Leo listens to "La Vie En Rose" by Louis Armstrong and "I'm The Wolf" by Howlin' Wolf , while the Black Keys-y blues-punk track which heralds Tom's return home is "Dog Scratched Ear" by Cardiff duo Henry's Funeral Shoe – good to see Being Human supporting some local talent. Finally, Nick Lowe's "The Beast In Me" is a wonderfully appropriate choice to soundtrack Hal's inner turmoil (though personally I prefer the Johnny Cash version ).
SPECULATION Cutler's mysterious line in episode one about "showing [humanity] something worse" makes sense after seeing his focus group – "something worse" is clearly werewolves. How far will he go down this route? Will he reveal the existence of werewolves to the wider world? Could that video of Tom and George transforming end up on YouTube?
BEST LINE Hal rebuffs Tom's invitation to join him in a trip to the shops: "I'd love to, but I've made plans to stay in and self-harm."

The Post-doctoral Situation
00:00:12.13	One of the ways you know you've become a senior scientist
00:00:16.02	is that people start asking you to be on committees.
00:00:20.10	I've done a pretty good job in my life of avoiding that.
00:00:23.17	But there are some committees that you don't want to avoid.
00:00:26.04	And a couple of years ago,
00:00:28.09	I was asked by the president of the National Academy of Sciences
00:00:31.12	to chair a committee about the postdoctoral experience
00:00:34.23	in science in the United States.
00:00:38.20	This is something that interested me enormously for a variety of reasons.
00:00:42.02	One of them being, I never was a postdoc in the United States.
00:00:45.28	I did a post-doc in France, but that was for less than a year.
00:00:49.26	I've trained more than 50 postdocs in my career
00:00:53.00	and I sort of thought I knew what kind of experience they had,
00:00:57.17	but never having had one myself,
00:00:59.15	I thought this was an ideal opportunity to learn something
00:01:02.12	about a subject that's really important for the conduct of modern life sciences,
00:01:06.11	but about which I didn't know nearly enough.
00:01:09.13	Now, the committee hasn't issued its report yet,
00:01:14.09	so there are no conclusions from the committee itself that I can talk about,
00:01:19.01	but what I can do is give you some of my personal conclusions
00:01:23.18	based on the data that the committee was able to gather.
00:01:27.09	The first thing I discovered about the postdoctoral experience
00:01:31.14	in the life sciences is that postdocs are the invisible people.
00:01:35.25	It's extraordinary. We asked institutions to tell us how many postdocs they had.
00:01:42.16	Almost without exception, they couldn't do it.
00:01:45.10	In fact, in many cases they couldn't even come within an order of magnitude
00:01:51.11	of how many postdocs they had.
00:01:53.13	There are a variety of reasons for this.
00:01:55.17	One reason is that postdocs, of course, come in a variety of sizes, shapes and flavors,
00:02:00.21	including postdoctoral research associates, postdoctoral fellows, glorified technicians,
00:02:06.08	graduate students who have finished their PhD
00:02:09.03	and are staying on for a year or so to write papers, and so forth.
00:02:13.04	And also, they come in a variety of support.
00:02:16.04	Some are on fellowships, some are on training grants,
00:02:18.13	some are on grants, some are on a variety of instruments,
00:02:21.29	including support from private companies or, in some cases, foreign governments.
00:02:27.11	But the main reason that postdocs are invisible
00:02:31.08	is because of what they are and the way we think about them.
00:02:34.24	I've spent my life believing that the way we talk about something
00:02:39.14	influences the way we think about it.
00:02:42.02	And nothing could be more true than in the case of the postdoc.
00:02:45.19	Think about how we talk about other things in science.
00:02:48.20	Undergraduates are undergraduate students.
00:02:51.12	Graduate students are graduate students.
00:02:54.03	Faculty members are professors, or assistant professors.
00:02:58.16	They all have titles that reflect to some extent the duties that we expect of them
00:03:04.25	and the obligations that the institution has toward them.
00:03:08.27	If they're an undergraduate,
00:03:11.02	they're an undergraduate student.
00:03:12.10	We're supposed to teach them.
00:03:13.26	Postdocs have a name that reflects nothing except the time frame of their career.
00:03:21.08	It doesn't say what they are, it doesn't say what they're supposed to be doing,
00:03:26.10	and it doesn't say what we are supposed to do with respect to them.
00:03:31.10	I think that alone is one of the biggest reasons
00:03:34.26	why the institutions allow postdocs to fall through the cracks.
00:03:38.24	It immediately also suggests one of the things that I think we must do
00:03:45.02	to try to make the postdoctoral experience better for everybody.
00:03:48.12	And that is, every institution needs to have an office,
00:03:52.14	or at the very least, an individual,
00:03:55.10	who is responsible for postdocs on that campus.
00:04:00.11	And that individual needs to figure out how many there are,
00:04:03.28	where they come from, how they're supported, and what careers they go on to.
00:04:08.29	And those data need to be accumulated, made publicly available, on websites,
00:04:14.05	for the institution, and gathered together by organizations,
00:04:18.17	like, say, the National Science Foundation,
00:04:20.25	where they can be looked at on aggregate.
00:04:23.09	Right now, most institutions don't have a postdoctoral officer.
00:04:27.20	Some expect that the person responsible for graduate students,
00:04:31.26	most institutions have a dean of graduate studies,
00:04:34.14	or a graduate program officer, will have that responsibility.
00:04:39.16	But I think it would be better if there was a specific person
00:04:42.17	whose sole responsibility was to worry about postdocs
00:04:45.22	because, as you'll learn in a moment,
00:04:48.03	I discovered that a lot of people aren't worrying about postdocs,
00:04:51.12	except, of course, the postdocs themselves.
00:04:53.15	So, that was the first thing I found out.
00:04:56.21	Second thing I found out was that nearly all postdocs
00:05:03.29	go on to careers other than in academia.
00:05:08.15	If you ask someone how many postdocs go on to academic careers,
00:05:13.15	most people come up with a figure like 30, 40 or 50 percent.
00:05:17.01	And they're probably deliberately trying to guess low.
00:05:19.25	In actual fact, the figure is much below 20 percent.
00:05:23.22	We're fond of saying that we should prepare people
00:05:29.14	for alternative careers
00:05:31.26	without realizing that we're the alternative career.
00:05:35.02	Only a handful of postdocs are going to become like me.
00:05:40.10	That's probably just as well, I don't need the competition.
00:05:44.17	But the fact of the matter is, if we believe,
00:05:48.25	as scientists, that the people we're training in our labs
00:05:51.29	are being trained for academic careers, we're fooling ourselves
00:05:56.03	and we're doing them a disservice.
00:05:57.19	Most of them will not do that
00:06:00.27	during their life.
00:06:02.28	And we need to worry about whether we are giving them adequate preparation
00:06:07.25	for careers that are not like the careers that we have.
00:06:11.01	For example, there are very exciting careers in the sciences
00:06:17.02	in science journalism, science policy, scientific funding,
00:06:22.27	venture capital, patent law, and a variety of other things that I could list.
00:06:28.19	Nearly all of which are dying for people who are trained
00:06:33.09	in the kind of analytical thinking, critical analysis of data,
00:06:37.21	and creative approaches to problem solving
00:06:40.18	that we like to think we're training our postdocs in.
00:06:44.13	But we almost never give the postdocs exposure to careers like that.
00:06:49.17	We don't have people who are doing those things coming and talking with them,
00:06:53.02	we don't have internships available
00:06:55.20	for them to go and experience a month or two months or a summer,
00:06:58.29	in an office in a patent law firm, or in a policy making position.
00:07:06.03	Either at the local level or at the national level.
00:07:10.01	I think we've got to do that. We need to be responsible
00:07:13.25	for making it clear to postdocs,
00:07:18.00	and actually, I think we probably ought to be doing it earlier than that,
00:07:20.25	we probably ought to do it when they're graduate students,
00:07:22.27	that realistically, most of them are not going to become academics,
00:07:28.16	and their training should reflect that
00:07:31.01	and give them some of the skills and exposure
00:07:34.29	that will allow them to identify the careers they actually do want,
00:07:38.14	and be well prepared for it.
00:07:40.19	So, that's a crucial step that I think very few institutions are taking
00:07:46.03	in a sensible way.
00:07:48.01	Now, what was the third thing that I learned.
00:07:50.29	The third thing that I learned is it's amazing how many postdocs
00:07:58.08	seem to believe that this was an inevitable part
00:08:03.11	of their scientific education.
00:08:05.14	You became a graduate student, and once you were done being a graduate student,
00:08:09.22	of course, the next step was to be a postdoc.
00:08:12.12	The postdoc has become the default.
00:08:15.29	And I think that's a huge mistake.
00:08:18.00	First of all, as I said, postdoctoral experience doesn't prepare you for every career.
00:08:22.15	For example, it's pretty lousy preparation for, say, high school science teacher.
00:08:26.09	Moreover, I think you could argue that a lot of the career preparation
00:08:34.19	that people need for non-academic careers
00:08:37.05	could be done as early as graduate school.
00:08:39.05	Maybe even, in some cases, a little earlier than that.
00:08:42.12	So, being a postdoc shouldn't be a default.
00:08:46.03	It shouldn't be as easy to be a postdoc
00:08:48.10	as it is, and people shouldn't think it's automatic,
00:08:52.04	it's something that they should do.
00:08:53.22	No, there needs to be a set of career options
00:08:58.08	presented to people, ideally as early as possible,
00:09:01.13	that will allow them to make good decisions
00:09:04.18	and those good decisions might well be,
00:09:07.28	I don't want to be a postdoc.
00:09:09.07	I don't need to be a postdoc, it's not for me.
00:09:11.29	Now, those are some of the main things that we found out
00:09:16.05	when we were doing the investigative work that we needed to do for this committee.
00:09:21.13	But it got me thinking about a broader question.
00:09:24.17	And that's the question of whether, as scientists,
00:09:26.27	we're training too many people.
00:09:29.09	There's tremendous pressure on scientists, especially young scientists today,
00:09:34.06	to produce papers in boutique journals
00:09:38.22	to get lots of grant support, and much of this now, because the bar keeps getting raised,
00:09:44.21	and whether that's sensible or not would be a whole other talk,
00:09:47.28	the bar keeps getting raised, and so, studies that used to come out as five papers
00:09:55.16	now come out as one paper,
00:09:57.27	that the length of a PhD thesis, or involve a PhD thesis worth of work,
00:10:02.13	and in order to produce at that kind of level,
00:10:06.22	labs have gotten bigger, people are training more people,
00:10:10.18	they're taking more graduate students, they're especially taking more postdocs.
00:10:14.12	And a system that was created when science was a mom and pop activity
00:10:21.07	in the 1960's and 70's, has, I would argue, a structure that may no longer be suited
00:10:28.17	for the kind of science that we're trying to do now.
00:10:31.18	And it may serve both science and the young people in it, ill.
00:10:38.00	Now, there's a lot we could say about the hegemony of certain journals and why that's a bad thing,
00:10:43.10	and the raising of the bar for publishable work,
00:10:47.00	and why that might be a bad thing.
00:10:49.09	And the whole grant reviewing process, and why it's too conservative,
00:10:52.23	and why people like myself are doing a bad job
00:10:55.29	of reviewing creative proposals.
00:10:57.25	But regardless of how we talk about that,
00:11:02.15	the realistic point is that labs have gotten bigger,
00:11:05.09	and we're training a lot more people.
00:11:06.25	And the job market has not, especially in academics,
00:11:11.20	expanded to keep pace with the increased number of people we're training.
00:11:16.22	Now, if we train them properly for careers outside of academia,
00:11:21.25	that might be ok.
00:11:23.08	It might be that we can accommodate the number of graduate students and postdocs
00:11:26.20	that we have in the community as a whole
00:11:28.28	without them feeling like they wasted their time, were lied to,
00:11:32.26	or in general, had a disappointing and frustrating future.
00:11:37.07	That would be fine.
00:11:40.10	But, it's also possible that we actually need to cut back.
00:11:44.28	I'm not sure that's true, but I think we ought to have, as a community,
00:11:48.27	a creative discussion about it.
00:11:51.17	I think we should ask ourselves realistically,
00:11:53.10	are we training too many people,
00:11:55.07	and if we are, what's the best way to go about reducing the size of the enterprise.
00:11:59.23	I don't think that a good way to do that
00:12:05.11	is for institutions to legislate how large labs should be.
00:12:09.04	I don't like top-down management of science.
00:12:11.10	Anyway, I don't think that works very well.
00:12:13.17	But let's suppose for the sake of argument,
00:12:16.21	that we decide, and this is just hypothetical,
00:12:19.11	that we decide we are training twice as many people as we should.
00:12:22.24	How do we shrink the enterprise by a factor of two?
00:12:26.23	There's an obvious way of doing that.
00:12:29.10	We double the stipend.
00:12:32.07	We're basically, in the life sciences, the NIH minimum salary
00:12:40.01	sets the floor for people supported by almost every type of support.
00:12:45.04	Whether it's industrial, or other types of fellowships or whatever,
00:12:48.06	the ballpark figure is set by the NIH minimum stipend.
00:12:52.19	And so, if we decide, for example, that we're training twice as many people
00:12:57.22	as we should be, then what we ought to do is over a four year period, let's say,
00:13:01.24	it could be five, I don't care, we should double the stipend.
00:13:06.19	Phase in a doubling of the stipend.
00:13:08.19	This will have two consequences.
00:13:11.02	It will force labs, like mine,
00:13:13.05	to get smaller. And in so doing, I'll have to make cold-blooded, carefully reasoned decisions
00:13:20.26	about who I really want to keep and who I think really has a future.
00:13:24.13	And who I should be training, and who I shouldn't be training.
00:13:27.12	And that's something we're not doing very well right now,
00:13:30.18	so being forced to do it for economic reasons might be a good thing.
00:13:34.05	And the second consequence, of course,
00:13:36.15	is we would finally be paying these wonderful young people,
00:13:40.01	our graduate students and postdocs,
00:13:41.27	because we'd probably double both stipends,
00:13:43.24	we would finally be paying them something approaching
00:13:47.17	what they were worth.
00:13:49.00	So, regardless of what the figure is,
00:13:53.28	right, whether we're training 25 percent too many people
00:13:57.09	100 percent too many people, I think if we decide as a community
00:14:02.02	and we must, I believe, have this conversation now,
00:14:05.17	if we decide that this is what we're doing,
00:14:09.29	I think the best solution to the problem is a purely economical one.
00:14:13.18	Because it has mostly beneficial consequences, not negative ones,
00:14:17.25	and if it forces some of the huge labs we have to get smaller,
00:14:20.24	and stop cranking out quite so many papers, you know, I think science will be just fine that way.
00:14:24.18	Realistically, I probably would have more fun if my lab were smaller.
00:14:30.03	I know for a fact the people in it would probably get a better training experience.
00:14:35.10	And I'd be surprised if anybody else could say any differently.
00:14:39.09	So, that's sort of the way I've been thinking about the postdoctoral situation.
00:14:46.06	You can see that it spills over
00:14:49.12	into the way I think we have to think about the graduate student situation,
00:14:52.28	and the whole training of scientists in general.
00:14:56.12	We've allowed the present system to develop by circumstance
00:15:03.20	over a period of ten to twenty years.
00:15:07.01	Things have changed not because we wanted them to change,
00:15:10.02	but because we've allowed them to change.
00:15:12.01	And we drifted into the situation that we have.
00:15:14.29	Part of it's laziness.
00:15:16.10	I mean, one of the reasons that we worry about stupid things like impact factors in journals
00:15:21.19	and where you publish is because it's become a proxy for actually reading the papers
00:15:26.03	and trying to figure out if somebody's done good work or not.
00:15:29.04	If we weren't so lazy about that,
00:15:31.25	these problems wouldn't have developed the way they have.
00:15:34.25	So, we've drifted into the present situation
00:15:39.04	and that includes the present situation where postdocs are the invisible people of science.
00:15:44.25	I think you can't drift your way out.
00:15:48.21	I think if you want to do something about it,
00:15:51.20	you need to sit down as a community, we need to talk about it,
00:15:57.03	we need to think about how to do it right.
00:15:59.21	And we as scientists then need to tell the science administrators
00:16:03.18	at our institutions, in Washington, that this is what we want done.
00:16:08.06	We shouldn't let them decide for us
00:16:11.04	and we shouldn't do nothing.
00:16:14.08	We should control of the enterprise
00:16:16.28	or take it back, because there was a time, actually, I'm old enough to remember this,
00:16:21.22	when we sort of had control of the enterprise,
00:16:24.16	and now the enterprise is sort of controlling us.
00:16:28.00	If we don't do this, we risk having an entire generation
00:16:34.13	of young scientists who are frustrated, who are disappointed,
00:16:40.09	whose lives aren't turning out the way they wanted to, or expected to.
00:16:45.05	And I think that this problem is so important
00:16:52.25	that it requires the attention of the whole scientific community now,
00:16:58.03	because the postdoctoral experience
00:17:01.04	is supposed to be the best time of your scientific life.
00:17:05.00	It's supposed to be the time when you have finally the freedom
00:17:08.19	to pursue the things that you're interested in,
00:17:11.04	without some of the educational responsibilities
00:17:14.02	associated with taking courses and passing exams.
00:17:17.05	It should not be a time of anxiety.
00:17:19.25	It should not be a time of frustration and disappointment.
00:17:22.16	It should not be something that you drift into because there's no alternative.
00:17:27.09	It should be something worthy of the wonderful young people that we have
00:17:34.21	who are trying to be scientists.
00:17:37.27	And if we give them the kind of training they deserve,
00:17:42.15	the kind they should be getting,
00:17:44.21	it will enrich their lives, not just as scientists, but also as human beings.

For those of you who are interested in using RGBD material in Unity or viewing some of our more recent 360º captures, here is a tutorial we made for our recent installation at SXSW for Microsoft.
At the StreamMeUp space station, visitors had six seconds to act out a "Vine for aliens", that is a transmission that would be sent to other planets. Viewers were then able to follow that transmission as it teleported them to other worlds through the Oculus Rift.
Read more about Stream Me Up here.
We also collected the raw data that the 3D scanners for the teleporter captured. We are now releasing that data for people to play with in Unity3D and deploy to many platforms including Windows, OS X, Windows Phone or iOS.

Broadband is a buzzword you've no doubt heard on television, on the radio and even over your morning coffee. You may be wondering what exactly broadband is and what your local community is doing to make it available for work, school, vital services and entertainment.
Our community's leaders understand that broadband is a critical piece of infrastructure to position us for business attraction, retention and growth.
Broadband is defined by Merriam-Webster as "of, relating to, or being a high-speed communications network and especially one in which a frequency range is divided into multiple independent channels for simultaneous transmission of signals (such as voice, data or video)." The Federal Communications Commission and the state of Colorado states the minimum speeds to be called broadband are 25Mbps download and 3Mbps upload.
In many rural areas, local and state governments are working together to increase access to such speeds — and much higher — at affordable rates by constructing, owning and operating infrastructure that providers can access to provide the direct service to consumers. The state of Colorado recently increased state emphasis and reshaped the Broadband Program Office. The state hired Anthony Neal-Graves as executive director to help lead Colorado to 85 percent rural broadband coverage by the end of 2018 and 100 percent by 2020.
Our local governments are involved, too. The city of Craig and Moffat County are partnering with Craig/Moffat Economic Development Partnership to lead the implementation of our Broadband Strategic Plan, completed earlier this year. CMEDP has financial support from those three entities, plus Memorial Regional Health, Colorado Northwestern Community College, Moffat County School District and Moffat County Local Marketing District to drive the broadband process forward.
Following is our mission statement and priorities for our work: Moffat County will have access to universal, reliable, affordable broadband with speeds and bandwidth necessary for business recruitment, growth and retention; education, health care, public safety and government applications; and high quality of life for all who live in, work in and visit our communities.
• Create redundancy by gaining greater access to statewide and regional infrastructure.
We know we need additional broadband service, because our residents and business owners have told us so.
In the Moffat County Business Climate Survey, which CMEDP conducted in February, more than 60 percent of the 79 business owners and managers who participated reported being very dissatisfied or somewhat dissatisfied with the local internet service connection. There were at least 10 independent mentions of better internet service needed in the open-ended questions.
In 2015, Moffat County voters overwhelmingly overrode Colorado Senate Bill 05-152, which restricts governments from providing telecommunications services. With a more than 80-percent "yes" vote, local constituents made it clear that local governments should be able to fill in where there's not a strong business case for the public sector to offer services.
In December 2016, 40 representatives from nine community anchor institutions gathered at CMEDP's Moffat County Economic Prioritization & Action Workshop. Broadband was identified as the No. 1 overarching goal that affects every aspect of our community's economic strength.
We are working hard to make that a reality for our community.
We have joined the regional effort led by the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments to create a resilient middle-mile network across Northwest Colorado that also aggregates bandwidth to ensure reliable low-cost broadband services. This project is known as Project THOR, and we will be sharing more information as that effort progresses.
We also are applying for grants to build out the fiber loop within Craig to allow our community network to tie into the regional infrastructure. We applied for funding through Colorado Department of Local Affairs in August. DOLA has since asked us to withdraw the current application and delay reapplying until spring so that we may work closely with their representatives to create the best possible financial and programmatic paths forward.
We will seek to match DOLA funds with U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration funds to complete the second goal — to provide middle-mile infrastructure to our anchor institutions and business community. This project would total about $4 million and includes local in-kind contributions from Yampa Valley Electric Association and the city of Craig.
We are moving forward quickly and steadily to bring the broadband service our community needs to fruition. This is the infrastructure we need to make a significant impact on the business climate of our community.
I welcome you to read the Moffat County Broadband Strategic Plan by visiting ci.craig.co.us and clicking on the broadband button. Then, contact me with questions or suggestions for our implementation efforts. This project is truly one that's reflective of the community's needs and wants and one in which we invite you to participate.

In 1988, he moved to Austin Peay to coach the running backs and tight ends. In 1989, he spent the season as a graduate assistant with Nebraska. San Diego State then hired him as their recruiting coordinator, a position he held from 1990–2000. He also coached various positions with the Aztecs: offensive line (1992), safeties (1993), tight ends (1994–1996), and running backs (1997–2001). For the 2002 season, he was the assistant head coach with Texas State. From 2003 to 2004 he was with Montana as the coach of the tight ends and offensive tackles.

From 2005 to 2008, he was the running backs coach at Utah as well as the recruiting coordinator. On January 17, 2009, Dave Schramm accepted the position as Utah's offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. In 2010 Schramm was switched from coaching the quarterbacks to coaching the tight ends when Brian Johnson was added to the staff. He was also named as co-offensive coordinator along with Aaron Roderick.

Schramm was hired as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Fresno State on January 4, 2012. He replaced former offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Jeff Grady, who was let go after Pat Hill was fired by the university and Tim DeRuyter was hired as the new head football coach.
