'Rangers Inside And Out'
By Sean Hartnett
» More Columns
Henrik Lundqvist missed practice Wednesday for the third straight day. Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault later confirmed that backup Cam Talbot will start against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.
"He's not playing tomorrow," Vigneault said of Lundqvist. "Cam's going tomorrow. I already told him today at practice. (Henrik) is not gonna be the backup either. If this would have been a playoff game, he would probably be playing. It's something that's day-to-day that we think we can nip in bud. It might take a day, maybe one more day or two, but it's something that he can turn the page on and you won't hear about it anymore."
Vigneault confirmed that Lundqvist will travel with the Rangers (2-5-0). He described the injury as an "irritation."
"It's something he's had for maybe 10 days. It wasn't anything significant, (Henrik) played real well in Washington. It acted up a little bit after the Jersey game," Vigneault said. "When he got back the next day, he felt it more."
Outside of a brief cameo on Tuesday when he tested out a pair of new skates minus the rest of his equipment, Lundqvist has not been on the ice at the Rangers' Tarrytown practice facility this week and Vigneault said he has no intentions of rushing his franchise goaltender back.
"We're trying to get him to be as healthy as any player can be during the regular season," Vigneault said on Tuesday. "You're never at 100 percent. That's impossible in this game. Hopefully, he'll be as close to it as he can be."
The Rangers have yet to make a roster move. Vigneault confirmed Jason Missiaen will be the backup goalie when the Rangers face the Flyers. Lundqvist will travel with the team to Philadelphia and Detroit before the Rangers return home ahead of their Oct. 28 home opener against the Montreal Canadiens.
Vigneault said he is highly confident in Talbot's ability to handle the fast pace of the NHL and expects the rest of the Rangers to turn their games up a notch.
"I'm hoping that our players are gonna rally around this young man who's getting this first opportunity to play in an NHL game," Vigneault said. "It's a moment that he'll remember the rest of his life. Hopefully, there will be many other good ones after."
Vigneault said Talbot stood out throughout training camp. Before recalling Talbot from Hartford of the AHL, Vigneault watched the 26-year-old play for the Wolf Pack against the Manchester Monarchs on Friday. Vigneault said he came away thoroughly impressed.
"I've seen a couple of his games on tape in Hartford and I saw one live. (He) played extremely-well. The Hartford game that I saw, they were down by two. Manchester had a 5-on-3. They had numerous chances. In overtime, he was the difference," Vigneault said on Tuesday.
The Rangers will need to lean on Talbot, not only because of Lundqvist's injury, but also because of a packed upcoming schedule.
"That's a position where you have to be a competitor," Vigneault said. "If we need him to play – we're gonna need him to play here. We've got eight games in 15 nights. If we need him to play whether it's Thursday or after that, I'm confident he's gonna be real good for us."
The 26-year-old will certainly be thrown into the fire, as he will quickly find himself in a high-charged atmosphere in a rivalry game on the road.
"I'm extremely excited," Talbot said. "I mean, it's every kid's dream to play in the NHL. It's extremely exciting for me. I can't wait until that time comes."
Talbot said his work ethic is one of his strongest attributes.
"My work ethic is one of the things that got me to this point," Talbot said. "I'm not going to stop now, I'm just going to keep on working harder and continue to push myself and continue to get better."
Goaltending coach Benoit Allaire has constantly been in Talbot's ear passing along advice. Talbot said he appreciates the wisdom that the "goalie guru" has offered.
"I think there's always things you can tweak, no matter what level you're at," Talbot said. "There's always little things that he comes up and tells me after each drill. He just says work on them in practice, but when it comes game time — you go out and play your game. That's what I'll try to do."

The Event
It wasn't exactly the World Cup but the inaugural Big Pitch got fans of start up business in Australia cheering. The event attracted a stellar line up of creative entrepreneurs seeking funding to move ahead to the next stage of their business development. Amid the theatre and drama and the big money on offer, a new era of venture capital was born.
It all started when the call went out a few months back for startups willing to compete – and we mean compete – for $5 million big ones from local venture capitalists Oxygen Ventures. Founded and funded by Dodo genius (yes, those two words can go together) Larry Kestelman, The Big Pitch was intended not only to find the Next Big Thing on the local startup map, but also to garner broader interest in the value and economic potential of small, smart businesses.
And did the event deliver. There were 350 entrants clamouring to be heard and their quality only underlines what Oxygen have sensed for some time: Australia is a hotbed of tech startups just waiting to happen.
Among the final five were brilliant ideas in online shopping, games, education, e-marketing and workplace productivity and all pitched strong and hard inside the heated (thankfully) confines of Melbourne's Deakin Edge theatre in Fed Square. Three hundred lucky watchers fizzed with enthusiasm. A good night was had by all.
Even better for two big pitchers: Ecal and WeTeachMe who shared the honour jointly of being the first ever winners of The Big Pitch.
The judges couldn't split them - despite some good natured bust-ups behind the scenes apparently - and so there will be two new babies joining Larry Kestelman's growing family of business ventures. Each will benefit from being part of a stable of networked businesses which, as Larry himself is keen to point out, embodies the relationship-based form of venture capital Oxygen is looking to develop.
So, it's not all about the money. But these two did rather score well on that front. With $5 million in the first place prize pool, both can look forward to healthy balance sheets for the foreseeable future. And perhaps a couple of Jager bombs to celebrate. Go on guys...
Oxygen Ventures are already putting the plans in place for The Big Pitch 2015 so the event is now part of the local business investment landscape. Time for entrepreneurs to dust off their ideas and polish their pitch routines.
Sure, it may not have been the World Cup, but for those who went home to watch a Brazil/Mexico nil-nil game in the wee hours, it probably won on excitement last night.

As I said in the previous post, the weather conditions forced us to change our original plans. We checked the weather forecast everyday and it seemed pretty normal (in winter conditions, of course). But one day it changed. It seemed that the snow finally arrived to this country, and I couldn't be happier.
Due to these weather conditions, we only had one opportunity to visit Jökulsárlón, and we wanted to visit it so badly that we woke up at 05:00 to drive from Hella to the glacier lake; a 3 and a half hour drive there turned into a 7 hour journey due to the weather conditions.
As you may see in the title of this post, you can imagine that this day was pretty intense. And I think that this was one of the most filling days of my life. Before explaining our adventures at Jökulsárlón, I wanted to tell you one of the reasons why this day was a bit extreme for me.
I'll explain you the situation. @tropicalbert and I were in a gas station eating a hot dog early in the morning (yes, hot dogs were the 80% of our feeding during the trip), and talking about the Northern Lights. We wanted so hard to see them, but the aurora forecast was extremely bad during our stay. We went out at nights and tried to chase them but we failed. He told me that the night we were supposed to fly to Barcelona, the forecast was actually really good. So, he had the idea to skip our flight and catch another one two days later, to have more chances of seeing the lights. I thought he was crazy, because I couldn't afford that new plan, but he proposes to help me with the costs. You can imagine the romantic situation while eating a hot dog and him trying to convince me. But finally… I said yes! So, we decided to extend our adventure in this country!
After saying that, it's time for Jökulsárlón! We arrived there almost at midday. I have to say that the weather and road conditions were difficult, and we drove with a lot of caution. But, I also have to say that we stopped so many times along the road because we were fascinated by the landscape.
We were amazed by the floating icebergs in the water. We observed them for a while and walked on the snow to see them from many points of view. While enjoying the views and taking pictures, we noticed that the water was full of seals, playing around as if we weren't there. I've seen a lot of images of Jökulsárlón, and normally the pictures are without snow. So, I'm happy to have seen this place covered with snow, with a different point of view that the one I expected.
After spending a bit of time in the lake, we decided to go to the beach to observe the ice remains from the broken icebergs on the sand. The beach was half covered in snow and half covered in ice. It was an interesting contrast between the black and white tones and it gave for a great view.
We had a long journey returning home (in this case, we slept in Hvolsvollur). We arrived at night, after spending a nice road trip observing the snow and the beautiful colors of that afternoon.
If you've read the title, you'll notice that there is another reason why this day was a bit extreme. After trying almost every night, we finally saw them: the Northern Lights. We stayed in a guesthouse, and we spent a nice time talking to the owner about this country. After telling him that we didn't see the Northern lights, we checked the forecast and, although it was not good, it was not too bad. So, with his recommendation, we drove along a dark road towards Þórsmörk.
We stayed in the car quite a long time looking at the sky without blinking. @tropicalbert spent this time saying: there are lights in that direction, and I spent the night saying: it is light pollution, keep calm. But actually, he was right. We were seeing the lights!
The Northern Lights were getting brighter and brighter, and seeing them dancing in the night sky was a dream come true. We changed our flights to have more opportunities to see the auroras, and it was a gift to see them in a night that was not expected. Like this country, the Northern Lights are magic. And I couldn't think in anything else than: Will I have more chances to see them during the trip? I guess you'll need to continue reading if you want to know the answer.

Key Points:
- The EPA is testing for lead contamination at the popular Red Hook ball fields.
- A smelting factory operated at the site of field #7 through the 1930s.
- Slightly elevated levels of lead have also been found near the Red Hook Houses.
- The Red Hook ball fields will open according to schedule; park-goers encouraged to wash hands and shoes after visiting.
Every summer for the past forty years, New Yorkers have flocked to the Red Hook ball fields, seeking football, fly balls, and food trucks slinging authentic Latin American cuisine. Few of those visitors have ever stopped to consider the history of the soil beneath their feet…but perhaps they should.
For the third time since 2012, the Red Hook ball fields are undergoing testing for lead contamination, a historical remnant of the neighborhood's gritty industrial past.
This past March, representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency collected samples from 29 locations throughout the park, including ball fields #5–#8 (bordered by Lorraine, Henry, Bay, and Hicks Streets), three soccer/football fields, and multiple spectator and picnic areas.
The results of those tests—expected sometime in April—will detail the level and extent of lead pollution deposited by Columbia Smelting and Refinery Works, a factory that was once sited at the corner of Hicks and Lorraine, directly atop ball field #7. The factory operated from the 1920s through the late 1930s.
Authorities have also previously found lead lacing the soil of the Red Hook Houses, Brooklyn's largest housing development, located directly across the street from the former factory. However, the EPA reports that at this point, no additional testing or remediation is needed there.
The New York City Parks Department does plan to open the the recreation area in 2015 according to schedule, writing in an email: "The ball fields remain safe for all park users and pose no imminent threat to public health."
Looking for Lead
Screening for lead in the 58-acre park began in 2012, when the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation sampled the grounds and found elevated levels of the heavy metal in the soil. It appears this testing was prompted by a USA Today investigation that identified hundreds of former industrial sites throughout the U.S. that were potentially contaminated by lead and other toxins.
After reviewing the results, the Parks Department, together with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, determined that the risk of public exposure was "minimal" and that no remedial actions were needed. They did implement some protective measures, including regular ground cover maintenance and the placement of clay or concrete over some contaminated areas.
Also in 2012, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation "screened the site" as part of a nationwide portfolio of potential historic smelter sites. The DEC did not respond to a request for comments, so it remains unclear what that screening entailed; the agency referred the site to the EPA for review in early 2014.
In October of last year, the EPA collected their own samples from the ballfields, at varying locations and depths. Results showed lead contamination at every level, at concentrations high enough to require further action.
Looking at Levels
The EPA's hazard level for lead in children's play areas is 400 parts per million, though it should be noted that individual states have established lower soil lead standards. Many European nations regulate soil lead at 100 ppm.
Some samples from the surface at the ball fields show lead at nearly twice the EPA's hazard level. At one to six inches deep, levels averaged 1,711ppm, but went as high as 2,800—nearly seven times the hazard level.
Averages and ranges of lead concentrations per depth below the ground surface are listed here:
|Sample Depth
|Range of Detections (ppm)
|Average (ppm)
|240 – 980
|770 – 2,800
|760 – 5,700
|390 – 2,600
|130 – 2,600
The EPA returned to the ballfields this March for follow-up testing, in order to determine boundaries of the contamination. Results are expected in April, after which the EPA will develop a remediation plan to address the issue. Planning for and designing the cleanup will likely take about a year.
Elias Rodriguez, Public Information Officer for the EPA, would not speculate on what that plan might entail, but noted that "it will be completed in accordance with EPA and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) standards."
Directly Across the Street
In 2014, while EPA representatives were testing the ballfields for lead, they also collected 27 samples from five grassy areas within the Red Hook East Houses. Some buildings within the enormous development sit directly across the street from the former smelter. The complex was constructed in 1938 while the factory furnaces were still operational.
According to the EPA, results showed that in three of the five locations, including two adjacent to a playground, elevated lead levels were detected, "but only at depths more than a foot below the ground surface."
In the remaining two locations, elevated lead levels were detected at varying depths, but lead levels within the upper six inches were "only slightly above the screening level." EPA reports that these two locations are not play areas or main thoroughfares and appeared to have good vegetative cover.
It would seem likely that, given the development's close proximity to the factory, the lead contamination in the park and the houses would be linked. However, Rodriguez says this is not the case. "The lead that was detected was found to be unrelated to the historic smelter," he stated in an email.
The ratios and concentrations of certain metals found in the soil samples at the ball fields (including lead, tin, antimony, copper, and zinc) are characteristic of smelter emissions—those ratios and concentrations were not found in a similar pattern at the Houses.
Rodriguez suggests the lead at the development could have come from several sources, including "historic fill used during construction of the housing complex."
Regardless of the source, the EPA "does not believe that these lead detections present a significant health concern," and no additional remediation will take place there. All results for the Red Hook Houses have been provided to the property owner.
Assurance of Safety
Both the EPA and the Parks Department stress that though elevated lead levels do exist in the Red Hook ball field soil, park users should not be concerned. "Lead at the surface does not present an immediate health concern," Rodriguez explained, "especially because there is grass cover and the daily duration that people could be in contact with bare soil is limited."
Both agencies do encourage visitors to remove dirt from their shoes and wash their hands after visiting the park and before eating.
To that end, the Parks Department indicates that they will be placing hand-washing and boot-scraping stations at the park, along with signage to promote good hygiene.
Maeri Ferguson, a Parks Department representative, told NYER: "We look forward to finding a long-term solution that keeps everyone safe and has the least impact on the use of fields, so that residents may continue to benefit from the exercise and recreation at the ballfields."

Last week I had the chance to test out the new Nikon d850. There are plenty of detailed reviews out there, so let me just concentrate on couple of features that are important for me as a wedding photographer.
The most important info I needed to know, is whether the medium RAW files have the same quality (dynamic range, high ISO, ...) as the full RAW files. 45 MPx are great for landscape or studio photography, but for wedding photography it is simply too much. I photographed following picture significantly underexposed to see how much detail I can recover in the shadows, and I am happy to say that there is not much of a difference for a bare eye. I took a picture of the same landscape once in full and medium RAW. In Lightroom I increased the shadows to maximum and highlights to minimum. Then I exported both images with a long edge of 6000 px and standard sharpening for screen. If I zoom in to 100% of the JPEGs, full RAW seems tiny bit sharper, but that is more result of downscaling from a bigger file. To sum up, yes I think the mRAW files can be used for wedding photography.
To get more detailed info on this topic, have a look on Nasim Mansurov Article
You can download the MEDIUM and FULL raw export here.
Silent live view mode / great but with 1 limitation
Great feature when shooting in the church, concerts, presentations or street photography. There are to Modes:
SL1 – you get full RAW files. Once you focus you can get up to 6 frames per second. I love the possibility to just tap on the touch display and the camera focuses and makes the photo. I like to photograph from very high or low angles, but before I always lost time moving the focusing cursor, now you just tap and it's done. One limitation though, if you are shooting under neon lamp, you cannot use time shorter than 1/100 or 1/80 of a second, otherwise you get visible banding on the picture. The reason is that in the silent live view the data are read out directly from the sensor, without closing the shutter. As a result I can photograph non moving objects, but can forget about it when shooting first kiss or rings exchange.
SL2 – you can get up to 15 to 30 frames per second, but the images are JPEGs with an image size of 3600x2400 px. Also the crop factor changes from FX to I guess DX. For me personally not an option I would use in real life.
This is super subjective, but for me super important. I started with Nikon d700 and I adored the colours on this camera, later I got d800 which in my opinion had a yellow/green tint. Nikon d750 is very good, I just feel that the transitions between highlights and shadows are a bit abrupt. Finally d850 is really beautiful. Coupled with a Nikon 35 1.4 the images are nice contrasty even when shooting against the sun. The transitions are smooth. Really happy about the colours here.
Focus peaking – hmmm...
Focus peaking shows red or blue colour on the edges which are in focus and helps improve manual focusing. It is available only in manual focusing mode and only visible in live view. No focus peaking in the viewfinder. You can also use it while shooting video, but have to turn off digital stabilization and it only works with 1080, not with 4K??? Sometimes I shoot portraits at F1.8 and thought it could help me to put my focus spot on. So here is my experience, if you focus on significant edges like furniture or glasses you can see it well, however if you try to focus on bare eye, it only highlighted the catch lights in the eyes, which are usually small and I saw only a small red pin in the eye, if at all. Probably I was doing something wrong, but for the moment, not a feature I would see using in real life.
Fast and snappy as used from other Nikon models. Compared to Nikon d750 it has 55 instead of 51 focusing points, which are spread less centrally, which enables better composition options. Nikon advertises 153 focus points, but the remaining 98 are so called sub or supporting focus points which assist the main 55. As Nikon d750 has had very good focus system already, I couldn't notice any strong improvement on the Nikon d850. If you are interested in more details about the Nikon focusing system, here is a great explanatory article on this.
To sum up Nikon brought up again and extraordinary piece of gear. The reasons for an upgrade from my Nikon d750 are:
1. Option to change the RAW size, depending on the need
2. Excellent colours and image quality.
3. Tap focus/shutter
4. Silent Live view mode 1
5. Higher buffer
6. Overall slightly faster handling

Amish enjoy unexpected boom in numbers
"High birthrates and decline in defections spur growth"
While interesting, this is not "unexpected", nor is a "new" story. It shows up in the "news" every now and then. For instance, two years ago there was a story about the "Amish Baby Boom".
However you look at it, the lesson is clear in observing both the Amish and the Shakers. "Church growth" by God's appointed means works, while despising children leads to decline or extinction.
You don't have to be anabaptist and reject "hochmut" to increase your numbers and have a high retention rate!
All that is needed is for us to allow God to cause the increase according to his gracious will. Our vocation is to diligently and lovingly catechize the children he blesses us with, which is the primary calling in this life for parents.
The story also mentions "falling defection rates among adults" as one of the reasons for Amish growth. I would say that while church discipline is perhaps important on an individual basis, I don't really think it is one of the major reason for Amish growth, and neither would it be in faithful Lutheran communities.
However, not allowing sinful lifestyles to appear acceptable is certainly important. The openly unrepentant (and undisciplined) contraceptive mindset that exists today is a primary example. But, again, this is mostly a vocational matter of faithful preaching and teaching by pastors and catechizing by patents. At the same time, church discipline must not be neglected.
In Christian churches today, there is a very high "defection rate" from the teachings of the church - a defection of members that isn't even reflected in membership roles because they are allowed to remain as communicant members. Unfortunately, they're not only tolerated. These unrepentant sinners are put high on pedestals and even appointed as pastors. Like soaking yeast in warm water, these deviant lifestyles and heresies are celebrated so as to even more rapidly leaven the whole lump.
Meanwhile, we are falsely accused as haters, legalists, and pharisees for holding fast to the truth of God's Word.

How do you save your mother from her mother?
My grandmother has steeped in four kinds of cold love over seventy-three years: her father's, her brother's, her husband's, her son's. She pickled like red onions do in lemon juice: quickly, without losing too much bite. Now she watches my mother the way a man on a dark porch watches you walk on summer evenings, as the sky bruises quietly.
Your hair is too thin if not cut like hers. Your nails are too long, your voice too loud, your dress too short, your interests childish.
The seventies treated her best. No one was a better host. A perm, a scarf, and sunglasses became good friends to her, and matriarchy was law. In the kitchen, she devilled eggs and stuffed ducks. In New Delhi, she entertained Russian diplomats. Her marriage she watched from afar. Her daughter she pecked clean.
Her prayers never got in the way of her drinking, because she always poured one out for Ganesh by flicking gin-dipped fingers at the carpet.
In front of family, when she asks, but what will you really do, she wants to know how I will propel myself through time without a husband to measure years by. Every time I say I work with words, she has fewer and fewer to give me.
A better writer would have noticed faster that exhaustive family dramas play out in the house every time she visits.
The thing about maternity is that it's a circle.
My Nani sulks like a teenager, fights for the remote and breaks her glasses. Old age is making her young again. Old age has wiped her blank again. She leaves whole walnuts everywhere, sneaks tamarind candy into her bedroom. All of us behave like daughters that night—like our mothers are out drunk. One of these things must be cracked, and the other will dissolve.
How many mothers would have otherwise been poets? Could you stack their completed works end-to-end and climb to the moon on their spines? Does fragility persist even after you split yourself like a melon to make another woman? Does it survive that exponential increase in blood and matted hair? Does it survive that orange heat, that umbilical loss?
My mother craved melon all through her pregnancy, and her mother never let her eat it.

Campus Landscaping By Constructing Mock Geologic Outcrops
David J. Matty, Department of Geology, Central Michigan University
Student learning in the geosciences is enhanced by exposure to geology "in the field," where students put knowledge into practice to solve problems and make interpretations. Nonetheless, geography and cost may limit the ability of many institutions to provide adequate field experiences for their students, especially in large introductory courses. However, institutions may transform portions of their campuses into geological learning environments conducive to instruction at all levels by constructing mock outcrops. On our campus, we have constructed a variety of mock outcrops that range from simple groupings of lithologically distinct boulders to a complex "campus geological area" encompassing a variety of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, various artificial unconformities, and simple to complex structural relationships. Students from all instructional levels utilize the contrived geology that we have constructed and results indicate enhanced student learning as an outcome. By learning from our experiences, including the successful and unsuccessful events that helped us develop our campus as an educational tool for the geosciences, others may be able to better develop their own campus in support of geoscience instruction.

We Have Lift Off! Integrating Space Science and Mathematics in Elementary Classrooms
Jacqueline Leonard, Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Technology in Education, Temple University
James E. Oakley, Strath Haven High School, Wallingforn, PA
This paper examines the results of a two-year study of preservice teachers' development of self-efficacy. Specifically, we explain how 2 of our original 12 preservice teachers implemented an activity from the Earth Links Project and present data describing how it impacted their self-efficacy. These two prospective teachers elected to do a space science lesson called Alka Rockets with students during their field experience. The purpose of the lesson was to help younger students understand physical changes and older students understand the principles of Newton's Third Law. Both preservice teachers and students used the scientific method and learned the importance of observation and random trials. These prospective teachers also used the video Apollo 13 to reinforce the mathematical concepts of place value and numeracy. Most importantly, they learned how to improve their instruction in space science by reflecting on their practice.

A Solid Waste Landfill Siting Exercise for an Introductory Environmental Geology Course
Susan K. Swanson, Department of Geology, Beloit College
Jean M. Bahr, University of Wisconsin, Department of Geology and Geophysics
Jeffery D. Wilcox, University of Wisconsin, Department of Geology and Geophysics
A solid waste landfill siting exercise has been developed for an introductory environmental geology course. Students are asked to site a county landfill using the actual state guidelines developed and enforced by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The students work in small groups and synthesize information from a variety of resources, including maps of geology, hydrology, land use, and topography. After choosing a site, students explain the benefits and drawbacks of the chosen location in oral and written formats. The exercise asks students to draw on a variety of topics and skills explored earlier in the term and to apply them to a real-world environmental problem. It has been successfully implemented as a capstone project at a liberal arts college and a large public institution.

Creation of a Computer Modeling Course for Undergraduate Earth Science Students
Kirsten M. Menking, Department of Geology and Geography, Vassar College
Entire fields within the Earth sciences now exist in which computer modeling has become the primary work of the discipline. Undergraduate geology/Earth science programs have been slow to adapt to this change, and computer science offerings frequently do not meet geology students' needs. To address these problems, a course in Computer Modeling in the Earth Sciences has been developed at Vassar College. The course uses the STELLA (Structural Thinking Experimental Learning Laboratory with Animation) iconographical box modeling software to teach the fundamentals of dynamical systems modeling and then builds on the knowledge students have gained with STELLA to teach introductory programming. Modeling topics include U-Pb concordia/discordia dating techniques, the impact of climate change on a chain of lakes in eastern California, heat flow in permafrost, and flow of ice in glaciers by plastic deformation. The course has been received enthusiastically by students, who reported not only that they enjoyed learning the process of modeling, but also that they had a newfound appreciation for the role of mathematics in geology. Fully documented and debugged STELLA and Fortran models along with reading lists, answer keys, and course notes are available to anyone interested in teaching a course such as this.

Introducing Teachers and University Students to GPS Technology and its Importance in Remote Sensing Through GPS Treasure Hunts
Mandy J. Munro-Stasiuk, Department of Geography, Kent State University
It is standard practice in satellite remote sensing of earth objects to field check imagery by locating specific places or objects using GPS (Global Positioning Systems). After teaching remote sensing courses for three years, and introducing GPS in them, it became clear that many of my students did not learn GPS technology well enough to successfully ground check satellite data and therefore a more effective way of teaching GPS was needed. Inspired by the common hobby of geocaching, I created a new fun and engaging activity for my university courses and teacher courses: the GPS treasure hunt. Two variations of the hunt have been undertaken with 297 teachers and students over four years. The results and impact of this activity have been overwhelmingly positive. Specific GPS-oriented questionnaires administered in several of the courses indicates that 34% of respondents had never used GPS units until completing the activity. After completing the hunt, 89% proclaimed that they felt comfortable using GPS units and would be able to find the location of any given object after the activity. Since introducing this activity, no student has required additional assistance in subsequent exercises that require the use of GPS units.

Studio Classrooms and Student Centered Learning in Traditional Microscopy Courses
Elizabeth M. King, Department of Geography-Geology, Illinois State University
A studio classroom involves few traditional lectures. Instead it emphasizes collaborative/cooperative learning and active learning. The instructor acts as a facilitator while the students work together to learn. In Geology courses involving petrographic microscopes, engaging students in cooperative learning may be problematic. Microscopy traditionally involves individual students using seperate petrographic microscopes. Digital microscopy using digital cameras to provide live video feed to a video monitor can help change a microscopy lab into a studio-style classroom. Students can work together on labs, teach each other to identify common rock-forming minerals, and piece together geologic histories and environment of formations in a highly collaborative environment. Once students adjust to the classroom environment, studio-style work carries over easily into class activities that don't necessarily involve the microscope. Studio classrooms promote higher test scores and students learn the importance of group work and in class presentations.

An On-Campus Well Field for Hydrogeophysics Education and Undergraduate Research
Frederick D. Day-Lewis, Department of Geology, Bucknell University
Mary Beth Gray, Department of Geology, Bucknell University
Robert L. Garfield, Hager-Richter Geoscience, Inc.
Amy D. Day-Lewis, Department of Geophysics, Stanford University
The emerging subdiscipline of hydrogeophysics is underdeveloped in undergraduate curricula relative to its importance in professional engineering/ environmental practice. In 2001, the Bucknell Department of Geology initiated efforts to refocus an undergraduate geophysics course on near-surface geophysical methods for hydrologic, environmental, and engineering problems. In addition to offering students practical experience, treatment of hydrogeophysics provides important pedagogical opportunities. Field-based hydrogeophysics labs challenge students to integrate concepts from other geology courses, as well as from physics, math, and chemistry.
We faced two challenges in revising our geophysics course: (1) access to wells for field exercises on borehole geophysics; and (2) the costs of acquiring and maintaining equipment. We pursued two strategies to solve these problems. First, we established an on-campus well field, which serves as a field laboratory for downhole and cross-hole experiments. Second, we incorporated field demonstrations and lectures by professional geoscientists, including alumni, into our courses. By adding field exercises to our syllabi and promoting undergraduate research, we are building a cutting-edge dataset that includes televiewer and standard wellbore logging, cross-hole tomography, and hydraulic-test data. Student-led analysis of these data has already provided valuable insights into the control of fractures on aquifer properties, and these observations are being combined with outcrop studies to place our results in a more regional context.

Dam Fun: A Scale-model Classroom Experiment for Teaching Basic Concepts in Hydrology and Sedimentary Geology
Benjamin H. Passey, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Utah
Thure E. Cerling, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Utah
Marjorie A. Chan, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Utah
This paper describes a scale-model classroom experiment that illustrates several fundamental concepts in sedimentary geology and hydrology, speaks to relevant societal issues, and provides an inexpensive and straightforward demonstration for single to multiple classroom period(s). The model simulates the cross-section of an earthen dam and reservoir system using a flat acrylic tank (ant farm dimensions). The dam is constructed by pouring sand into the middle of the tank. During this process, visible grain-size sorting occurs, and the concepts of gravitational settling, superposition, and angle of repose are illustrated. Water is poured into the reservoir side of the dam, and the concepts of porosity and permeability are illustrated as water seeps into the dam. The initial water movement is dominated by capillary flow in the fine-grained layers, whereas flow in the saturated state is dictated by differences in permeability and hydraulic head. Water is observed to move uphill, and then downhill, following bedding orientation. The possibility of toxic waste storage in dams is evaluated by injecting water with brightly colored dye into the dam. The dye illustrates the movement and ultimate fate of the 'toxic waste', and forms a coherent pool on the downstream side of the dam. The grand finale occurs when the dam is overtopped by water and catastrophically fails. The experiment is suited for teaching K-12 and college undergraduate audiences, has been universally well received by students and teachers, and leaves lasting visual impressions of processes in sedimentology, hydrology, and environmentally relevant water issues.

Optimizing Faculty Use of Writing as a Learning Tool in Geoscience Education
Jon A. Leydens, Libral Arts and International Studies, Colorado School of Mines
Paul Santi, Geology and Geological Engineering, Colorado School of Mines
As geoscience educators, we focus on helping students understand technical content and learn to think like geoscientists. Although research substantiates writing as a tool for teaching technical content and disciplinary thinking, geoscience educators often do not integrate writing in geoscience education because of the frustrations and exigencies involved. To address these issues, this paper describes the literature on using writing as a learning tool in both cross-disciplinary and geoscience teaching contexts. Further, we describe our Less is More approach, designed so faculty can spend less time grading student writing and still yield more learning benefits from incorporating writing. This approach involves five strategies, including explicitly integrating assignments with course objectives, designing effective assignments, incorporating process writing, evaluating writing effectively and efficiently, and consulting appropriate campus resources. Results of an initial assessment using this approach with a geoscience course suggest gains in student learning.

Fourth Grade Students Investigate Stratigraphy through Experiments and Photographs of Snow Layers
Audrey C. Rule, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, State University of New York at Oswego
Greg Roth, Liverpool Central School District, Syracuse, NY
This article describes a project in which fourth graders investigated principles of stratigraphy by creating colored sand layers in a clear-sided container and observing photographs of cross sections of snow layers and rock outcrops along roadsides. Students used the National Science Education Standards unifying concept of "evidence, models, and explanations" to investigate stratigraphic principles of original horizontality, superposition, and crosscutting relationships. A pretest/posttest evaluation of the lessons showed that students learned basic concepts of stratigraphy.

Fourth Grade Students Explore Natural Sand Towers through Evidence, Models, and Explanations
Audrey C. Rule, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, State University of New York at Oswego
Claire Kauffman, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, State University of New York at Oswego
Julie Bennett, Granby Elementary School, Fulton, NY
This article describes a mathematics-science integrated lesson for fourth grade students involving inquiry into how natural sand towers form. Natural sand towers are finger-sized pillars of sand that form on beaches underneath frost-heaved slabs of frozen sand during a thaw. As the sand-ice slabs melt, water drips from the lowest points of the undersides, depositing a pillar of sand on the floor of the "cave" below. Seventeen fourth grade students participated in the lesson by observing photographs of the phenomena, making hypotheses, investigating a model, and producing sand towers by dribbling wet sand of two types. Mean, median and mode were determined for height measurements of the sand towers. Students showed significant gains from pretest to posttest in understanding the scientific method and calculation of different types of averages.

Learning Landform Vocabulary through Different Methods: Object Boxes, Sand and Dough Creations, or Puppet Plays
Audrey C. Rule, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, State University of New York at Oswego
Lewis E. Graham, Casey Park Elementary School, Auburn, NY
Stefan Kowalski, Casey Park Elementary School, Auburn, NY
Martha Harris, Casey Park Elementary School, Auburn, NY
Learning about landforms is an important part of earth science instruction in the elementary grades that has been identified as needing improvement. Three research-supported experimental approaches were compared in a counterbalanced-design study conducted on three sets of landform words with second, third, and fourth grade students (N = 53). Because many geomorphology terms have multiple meanings that lead to misconceptions and learning difficulty, the vocabulary of the study focused on thirty words that have both an everyday meaning and a landform meaning.
All students viewed an electronic slide show of photographs and definitions of landforms accompanied by explanations of landform processes. Then they attended lessons under the different conditions for the same amount of time. In the object box condition, students created a layout of objects, papier-mâché landform models, photographs, definitions, analogy cards, and mnemonic device cards that related the two meanings of each term. In the second condition, students created landforms in sand or dough and labeled them. In the third condition, students created and performed puppet plays that explained the landforms. Results show that the object box condition was favored above the sand condition and the puppet play condition, although long-term retention of information was good in all three.

Using Foraminifera to Teach Paleoenvironmental Interpretation and Geoarchaeology: A Case Study from Folly Island, South Carolina
Scott P. Hippensteel, Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Microfossils, and especially foraminifera, are a valuable tool for paleoenvironmental interpretations in coastal regions. Despite their utility, teaching of applied micropaleontology in undergraduate courses is limited by the difficulty of identification of some taxa. Students in the University of North Carolina Charlotte's Coastal Processes and Environments course were required to differentiate downcore paleoenvironments from back-barrier marshes near Charleston, South Carolina. Although lithology was useful for interpreting paleoenvironments, sediments, combined with a simplified approach to microfossil identification, proved most useful for determining depositional environments. Students used Civil War maps and global positioning satellite technology to locate an 1860's tidal inlet. Gouge-auger cores and foraminiferal analysis were used to stratigraphically confirm this strategically important inlet.
The back-barrier marshes of Folly Island, South Carolina, is ideal for undergraduate foraminiferal research for two reasons: 1) Offshore outcrops of Oligo-Miocene strata provide foraminifera that act as a natural tracer for washover sediments and differentiate washovers from flood-tidal delta deposits and 2) morphologically distinct agglutinated foraminifera, such as M. fusca, simplify the identification of low- and high-marsh subenvironments.

Heating oil is similar to diesel in appearance. It is also known as 'red diesel', as red dye is added into it as content. But its function is completely different from that.
It is derived from petroleum or crude fluid into a liquid form. This liquid is prepared at higher temperature than kerosene and lower temperature than diesel or petroleum jelly etc. It is widely used in residential oil furnaces. It keeps the house warm during winter season. However, it is extensively used for commercial purposes too. It is poured into the furnaces. As the furnace starts heating, it releases hot air that keeps the premises warm. The float up air again goes into the furnace and is reheated. Heating oil is available at different prices in accordance to its quality. But now some leading firms offer high quality of oil products at extremely cheap prices.
It's hazardous in nature, so the strict regulations are made, related to its transportation, storage and burning. Its leakage from tanks and piping is not right for the environment. The leading services offer you proper transportation and storage. In addition their professionals provide you competent services related to entire heating fluid issues. The service is available in the whole world, but it is mostly need for the counties that have very cold climate. New York is a bustling place and has a frosty climate.
Now in New York home heating oil is available at extremely reasonable prices. Besides these, you can buy the heating fluid in off seasons. In summer the product prices are significantly lower, so you can save your money.
This warming fluid is utilized not only for residential consumer-ship but it's also widely used in commercial places to regulate the temperature. The prices vary from time to time like in winter, it gets higher or in summer it slows down. Additionally, there are other factors also, which affect the price of warming liquid like political matters, fluctuating economy, world issues etc. The majority of companies offer high prices for warming liquid product. As they add different charges such as cost of petroleum, crude, its production, marketing, manufacturing etc. Some renowned companies provide cheapest heating oil prices. For any details or enquiries about rates and qualities, you can browse through internet.
Apart from these, the domestic oil is cost effective alternative for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). It is also more suitable than solid fuels. It is extensively used by the consumer for all types of energy rise. Domestic heating oil price is very high. But various sites provide domestic heating oil at competitive prices. You need to just go through the online details. The services provide you high quality and fast delivery at reasonable rates.

Guests: 25-57 paying guests monthly
The Community Canteen is a monthly family dinner, at the scale of the neighborhood. For our first Fall Season, we prototyped 4 monthly dinners which took place at Aeronaut Brewery. We charged $25 for a simple one-bowl supper, including a hyper-local snack, dessert, and drink. Dinner rituals included ringing a dinner bell at 7PM, lining up to eat, table games, and conversation prompts.
At the conclusion of a successful pop-up series, we launched Canteen + Co. a catering and food service company focused on clean food and community.
March - October 2015
Role: Founder + CEO
Co-Founders: Kelsy Oberkoetter, Dana Stump
Customers: > $2K Revenue, monthly
Canteen + Co. is the business that grew out of the Community Canteen pop-up dinner series. We were still tackling the same question of accessibility, but on a larger scale. As a clean-food catering service, we formed partnerships with local farms and distribution services to provide a custom made "bowl of the week" to individual customers and company clients in nearby co-working spaces, start-ups, and farmers markets. Our lunch-club CSA was a hit with our clients, and our business broke even after just 4 months of operation. Our small team of 3 did everything needed to run the business - from the sourcing, cooking, assembling, delivering, permitting, designing, and corresponding - until we closed up shop at the end of the summer season.
Summer 2014

ByteME is the most personal & actionable health wearable to date. The ByteME bracelet is a two-part sensor that measures nutritional inputs (food, water, and supplements), and functional outputs (yes, that kind) using spectroscopic and optic sensors. The dual tracker talks in real-time to a smart app which provides daily readings for nutrition, hydration, and energy, and offers personalized suggestion to optimize health. The design of the bracelet mimics a Yin-Yang sensibility. What goes in, must come out. This project was designed as part of the first weeklong sprint at Food + Future Colab: Understanding. As part of our design research process we interviewed 4 food + body conscious ladies on how they monitored their digestive heath to design a whimsical and approachable nutritionally-based wearable.

F+F(tea) is the self-sustaining tea house of the future. Using controlled climate hydroponic growing systems, F+F(tea) is able to offer fresh tea grown & picked on site, through an ever-changing experience. Our team designed 3 interactive pop-up tea shop concepts, in addition to one hydroponic tea trike, which we utilized as a unique design research tool. We took this tea trike out on the streets to give people samples of "Food Computer" grown tea. We allowed customers to harvest their own tea by picking mint leaves ("grown" inside the trike) and steeping in hot water, which opened up a conversation about food + tech, and what this means for a new definition of "local."

Team Members: Jennifer Valley (Visual Design), Nathan Haines (Build)
As the user experience designer at ButcherBox, I was tasked with creating a customized box flow that would allow for greater customer choice in our monthly meat subscription service, while still adhering to operational requirements.
I conducted a series of team brainstorm sessions and remote user interviews using wireframes and clickable prototypes to design the Minimal Viable Product that meets the need of both our customer and our subscription business model.
In order to launch this service - set to launch at the end of May - I've worked closely with our Lead Visual Designer and Engineer to build out a product that is functional, aesthetically pleasing - and most importantly, desirable for our customer.
We got a team together to do a Crazy 8's exercise and brainstorm different check-out flow possibilities.
After the brainstorm, formed 3 concept ideas to test in a wireframe: Prix-Fix Menu, Pay by Token, or Pay by Item.
After first round of interviews, decide to move forward with a Prix-Fix Menu concept.
Used a series of non-interactive wireframes for a second round of interviews to test the concept.
Edits after 3rd round of testing to create final page design.

Variety of activities planned at Development Centre in England
Kettering, England, April 10, 2014 - A variety of activities have been planned by Volleyball England at the FIVB/CEV Regional Volleyball Development Centre in Kettering for the upcoming months, including a DataVolley Seminar, a Beach Get Involved Seminar and an FIVB Level II Coaching Course.
Volleyball England is pleased to announce that the CEV DataVolley Seminar will take place from April 25 through 27 alongside the national Super 8 League playoff finals. Data Volley is the volleyball statistical software that helps scout and analyse all game situations. The 2-day seminar will cover all aspects of the software and will be delivered by one of the DataVolley developers. By the end of the course the attendees will receive comprehensive knowledge of the software and be able to understand the application of the statistics to enhancing team performance, tactics and training. The seminar will be extremely useful to both coaches and statisticians and will develop their understanding of the most widely used statistics software in volleyball.
The Beach Get Involved Seminar will take place from May 26 through 30. This international seminar is a must for anyone involved in coaching and delivering beach volleyball. Industry-leading knowledge on beach volleyball skills, drills, organisation and participation development is on offer. The 5-day event will offer exciting ideas to implement at the beach volleyball venues. This includes a number of opportunities to discuss the current work being carried out by each candidate in their area or country, allowing to identify challenges while using the experience of other attendees. The course also includes a visit to the London Legacy Beach Volleyball courts at Crystal Palace, hosting a tournament featuring local teams. The day will include the opportunity to see how well established centres operate and should give participants an idea of how to stimulate activity using promoted events. Crystal Palace also demonstrates how major sporting events can benefit the local community and create a long lasting legacy.
An exciting visit to the British capital is also included in the FIVB Level II Coaching Course scheduled to take place August 18 through 29. These courses aim to improve the knowledge and competence of coaches and teachers, present the most recent trends of the modern game and establish a unified system for training coaches. The course specifically involves the coaching of advanced level teams and is carried out over a 13-day period, which includes one rest day in London, with access to 60+ tours and attractions including Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the London Bridge experience, a Thames River Cruise and many more.

Larry Craig
Judge denies Craig's appeal; Craig says he'll stay
WASHINGTON — A judge in Minnesota has turned down U.S. Sen. Larry Craig's effort to withdraw his Aug. 1 guilty plea, saying that his claim that he didn't know what he was doing when he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct was "illogical." However, Craig maintained his innocence Thursday and said he will continue to explore his legal options.
In his ruling, issued Thursday afternoon, Judge Charles Porter Jr. shot down the Idaho Republican's main arguments that he made a mistake when he pleaded guilty to charges in connection with a men's room sex sting, and that he pleaded guilty under pressure of a newspaper investigation into his background, and that his plea was not intelligently made.
Craig issued the following statement in reaction to Thursday's ruling allowing the guilty plea to stand:
"I am extremely disappointed with the ruling issued today. I am innocent of the charges against me. I continue to work with my legal team to explore my additional legal options.
"I will continue to serve Idaho in the United States Senate, and there are several reasons for that. As I continued to work for Idaho over the past three weeks here in the Senate, I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively.
"Over the course of my three terms in the Senate and five terms in the House, I have accumulated seniority and important committee assignments that are valuable to Idaho, not the least of which are my seats on the Appropriations Committee, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and the Veterans' Affairs Committee. A replacement would be highly unlikely to obtain these posts.
"In addition, I will continue my effort to clear my name in the Senate Ethics Committee - something that is not possible if I am not serving in the Senate.
"When my term has expired, I will retire and not seek reelection. I hope this provides the certainty Idaho needs and deserves."
Billy Martin, the lead attorney representing Craig also expressed disappointment in Thursday's ruling.
"We are, of course, disappointed with the ruling issued today," Martin said. "Sen. Larry Craig maintains that he is innocent and there is insufficient evidence to support a finding that he is guilty. Thus, we renew our arguments that it is manifestly unjust to deny Sen. Craig's request to withdraw his guiltyplea. Sen. Craig continues his steadfast denial that any inappropriate behavior took place at the airport. He is currently considering whether to appeal this decision. Throughout this trying time, Sen. Craig has remained a dedicated public servant and continues to serve the people of Idaho with honor and distinction, as he has done for the past 27 years."
When the charges first surfaced, Craig, a Republican, said he would resign by Sept. 30. But then he decided to attempt to reopen his legal case, and said he would stay at least until he found out whether he could withdraw his plea to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.
If Craig were to resign, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter, a Republican, would appoint his successor. Otter said Wednesday his action would awaits Craig's decision.
"When Larry makes his decision, I'm ready to make mine," Otter had said.
Otter has chosen a replacement for Craig, should he resign, but hasn't yet informed the person that he has chosen.
"He is ready to act should we receive a letter of resignation," said Jon Hanian, Otter's spokesman in Boise. "As of this hour we still have not received one. I do not believe the replacement candidate has been notified because until we receive a letter of resignation we do not have a vacancy to fill."
Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo reaffirmed his support of his fellow senator. "Senator Craig has the right to pursue his legal options as does any citizen, and I support his effort. I look forward to serving with him as we continue to work on issues important to Idaho."
Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson also supported Craig's decision.
"Sen. Craig's announcement gives the people of Idaho some certainty for the next 15 months," Simpson said. "I remain convinced this delegation will continue to effectively represent Idaho as we turn our focus to more pressing matters."
Republican Rep. Bill Sali stood behind Craig. "Our prayers continue to be with Senator Craig and his family as they make decisions that will affect their future and Idaho's," Sali said in a statement. "The people of Idaho will benefit most if Idaho's delegation remains united in working to secure the greatest results possible for our state."
Sali also said he would help Craig carry out his agenda.
"I am committed to do everything I can to help make Senator Craig's remaining months in office as successful as possible," Sali said.
Former Democratic Congressman Richard Stallings, chairman of the Idaho Democratic Party said Craig's decision to remain in office has two different implications for the state.
"This is bad news for Idaho because the embarrassment is going to be ongoing," said Stallings, who served in the House with Craig in from 1985-1990. "It's good news for Democrats because the governor will not be able to replace him with someone with a head start and it will throw the Republicans into a primary that will be divisive."
Craig has maintained his innocence and said his actions in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport bathroom June 11 were misconstrued by the police officer who arrested him.
The officer said Craig had looked into his bathroom stall, and tapped his foot and moved his hand under the divider in a way that suggested he was looking for a sexual partner.
Craig denied that in an interview with the officer after his arrest. But he pleaded guilty on Aug. 8. He later said he "panicked" in entering his plea, believing that it would keep the matter quiet. The Idaho Statesman had been holding back an article on rumors about his sexuality, and Craig said in court papers that he feared the arrest would trigger the story.
Porter rejected that as a good reason to withdraw the plea. Any pressure Craig was under "was entirely perceived by the defendant and was not a result of any action by the police, the prosecutor, or the court," he said.
Minnesota law allows a plea to be withdrawn if a "manifest injustice" occurs, but leaves it to judges to define that. Porter ruled that none occurred in Craig's case.
"It is not a manifest injustice to force the defendant to be bound by his plea bargain and the waivers and admissions which he made in conjunction with the execution of that bargain," Porter wrote.
He also wrote that Craig hadn't produced any "newly discovered evidence" that would clear him.
Roll Call reported Craig's arrest and guilty plea on Aug. 27. Fellow Republican senators soon called on Craig to resign, and conservative groups, which had given him near-perfect approval ratings, abandoned him quickly.
Craig had been elected to Congress from Idaho in 1980 and was in his third term in the Senate.
Within days Craig said he would resign by Sept. 30. He then changed his mind, saying he would stay in office until the legal case was finished.
Prosecutor Christopher Renz had accused Craig of "politicking and game playing" with the legal system, and argued that Craig was urged to hire an attorney and had plenty of time to think about his plea.
Patrick Hogan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, said in a statement that the commission, which runs Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, was pleased with the decision.
"The ruling continues to hold Senator Craig accountable for his conduct," Hogan said.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

text: Hello, One of the design issues that followed IronPython pretty much since the very beginning was to find correct place for the two methods we added into the built-in sys module - sys.LoadAssemblyFromFile and sys.LoadAssemblyByName. The downsides were not only that these methods didn't belong to the built-in sys module, but also the assemblies were loaded by specifying file name or partial assembly name only and there was not a way to load assembly given strong assembly name. In 1.0 Beta 1 we changed the way .NET assemblies are loaded - or referenced. The new model is inspired by the Python's sys.path and import behavior. However, unlike sys.path, which usually contains list of directories, the IronPython references are list (currently tuple, actually) of .NET assemblies. This part was inspired by the assembly references passed to .NET compilers. First, we added a module "clr" which contains the functions to add references to .NET assemblies: * AddReference * AddReferenceToFile * AddReferenceByName * AddReferenceByPartialName They allow adding references to the .NET assemblies by specifying strong assembly name (AddReferenceByName), partial assembly name (AddReferenceByPartialName - formerly sys.LoadAssemblyByName), assembly file (AddReferenceToFile - formerly sys.LoadAssemblyFromFile) or by providing the assembly object (instance of System.Reflection.Assembly) itself (AddReference). AddReference not only adds reference to the assembly object, but also provides convenient way to add reference to the assembly by specifying file name, partial name or strong assembly name. If string argument is passed to AddReference, IronPython will try to interpret it first as strong assembly name, file name or partial assembly name. As a result the function may not give unambiguous results when passing string as a parameter (Susan Cook's blog explains more on this http://blogs.msdn.com/suzcook/archive/2003/05/30/57159.aspx). Using AddReference with string parameter is therefore suitable for interactive console, quick prototypes etc, but we recommend using AddReferenceByName or AddReferenceToFile for the longer-lasting scripts. clr module also has an attribute "References" - a tuple containing all referenced assemblies. While it is a tuple for now, this may - and probably will - change. We view this tuple as the list of assemblies that IronPython searches to find .NET namespaces being imported. For 1.0 Beta 1 we are keeping the sys.LoadAssembly* functions, but encourage you to start using the clr.AddReference* and give us feedback. For Beta 2 we will probably make sys.LoadAssembly* obsolete and will eventually remove them completely. As for the clr.AddReference*, we hope that we are getting closer to the right solution. Nonetheless, lease let us know what you would like to see changed, improved, or added. Thanks Martin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

NPS Reminder E-mails
In most NPS guidelines, it is recommended that a reminder e-mail is sent 48 hours to a week after the survey is sent to encourage the customer to fill out the survey, however there doesn't seem to be a way to do that in Zendesk. I don't want to send a generic e-mail because the customer might have accidentally deleted the survey and if they would like to take it, I don't have a way to redirect them to the survey.
21 Comments
We would also like to be able to do this. Even if the original email hasn't been deleted our clients probably wouldn't appreciate having to search through their inbox to find it. Alternatively, if we could add a link to the survey in an email, it would be beneficial.
I agree this would be needed also.
Even a feature to be able to manually enter a score on behalf of the customer would be very useful
Very much needed. Without the reminder functionality the NPS feature does not seem to be complete.
Ok i've found out this limitation late and the hard way. Being unable to re-send/send a reminder or direct clients to a unique URL even to complete the survey is a real restriction and means i won't be using this system to send a survey again until it's resolved. An NPS tool without the ability to encourage or make responding easy is quite a flaw. As it is it works for a quick pulse of a small audience maybe but anything more than that and there are too many limitations in terms of collating a good data set.
@max - an update on this?
I would also love to see this feature introduced. A bit of an oversight in my opinion that it isn't packaged with the feature.
I wonder why we haven't heard back from Product Management on any of the above threads?
Hi everyone, thanks for voicing your needs on NPS survey reminders. We don't have any plans at this time to add this to our NPS feature set. I agree with the merit of this feature and its ability to drive higher NPS engagement; we will consider it in the future when we revisit additional enhancements to our survey capabilities.
Hi Steven,
what is the frequency of your schedule to revisit enhancements?
We personally won't wait for the summer time to come and bring us shinning on this needed feature.
Appreciate your feedback so we know how to move on and perhaps build on another tool.
Hello Steven,
any update since March? really?
Hi all!
At BackleApp we are developing apps for Zendesk. We have noticed this feature request and included it in our planned features list for the app we are going to develop using Zendesk's NPS API.
We'd love to hear more about your needs. Please fill out this short questionnaire to help us with making the app right for you.
It's been over 2 years now. Any movement on this? If it was reasonable request in 2015 then I would have to guess that this is possible now.
Hello user group,
any one of you looking into alternative NPS tools than the integrated one in Zendesk?
I'd like to start a forum group of alternatives to pursue without waiting another 2 year Zendesk prioritising the over promised feature.
Group, what's your thought?
yes, please.
Hey everyone!
I'm going to look into this and see if there's any information to share. I'll let you know what I find out!
Hi all!
We are stoked to inform you that the first version of our Loyalty Radar app is out and available for installation in your Zendesk as a private app. You can download it from this article. Before you proceed to the installation, we recommend to take a look at a couple of other articles that we created to guide you through the installation and setup processes.
Has there been any progress on this suggestion. We are looking at changing our NPS option to Zendesk but this is a major limitation and would not be a suitable solution. Can we please get an update if possible.
Wow, for a company that claims to be 'customer centric', 2 years have gone by and such a simple and necessary feature is completely ignored...
What you are doing here is giving your customers a reason to look into other tools, including your competitors'
Hi Andre,
Longevity is not a data point that we use to prioritize feature requests. Just because someone suggested it a long time ago doesn't make it something that's highly useful for many customers.
Much more important to the prioritization process is the number of users impacted, how business-critical the impact is, and what other things we have coming down the road that may solve for the problem.
We're continuing to collect comments and votes on this request as NPS is something we may improve upon in the future, however, it was not an area of the product that was put on the roadmap for 2019.
Please sign in to leave a comment.

Chesney Hawkes – The One And Only
"The One and Only" is a song written by Nik Kershaw, and recorded by the British singer Chesney Hawkes.
Produced by Kershaw and Alan Shacklock, Hawkes's recording was featured in the 1991 film Buddy's Song which starred Hawkes as the eponymous Buddy and Roger Daltrey (of rock band The Who) as his father. The film performed moderately well at the UK box office, but the song was a hit in that country's music charts, spending five weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart in March and April 1991. The song was later featured in the film Doc Hollywood, also from 1991 (starring Michael J. Fox) and became a hit in the U.S., peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in November 1991.
