The Wellness Center Student Counseling Services offers short-term individual and group counseling and psychotherapy, couples counseling, consultation and referral services, and a variety of programs and workshops relevant to graduate student life. These include help in overcoming obstacles to writing the dissertation, and workshops on topics from time management to mindfulness meditation. Our services are confidential, and they are available free of charge to matriculated students registered at The Graduate Center and the Craig Newmark School of Journalism. For those who are ineligible for our services (i.e. temporary students, visiting scholars, non-degree/non-matriculated students, and students registered at other CUNY campuses, please feel free to visit our resources page.
We can help to address problems such as depression and anxiety that interfere with living and working productively. We can also help with issues specific to the demands and expectations that go along with graduate student life. Our counselors seek to understand each individual's unique circumstances and needs, and we respect individual and cultural differences. We are continually looking for ways to respond most effectively to the needs of the Graduate Center community, and invite you to explore our website to learn more about what we do.
**The clinical staff at The Student Counseling Center are well aware of the ongoing and persistent stressors impacting our student population today. The divisive socio-political environment along with the many tragic terrorist attacks, mass shootings and natural disasters have made it difficult for all of us to employ self care in our everyday lives. However, chronic stress can be exhausting, insidious and dangerous to our physical and psychological health. We urge you to take steps to care for yourself and your loved ones during this stressful time in our history - http://www.apa.org/helpcenter/chronic-stress.aspx **
The mission of the Graduate Center's Wellness Center has three important components. The first is to support and enhance the wellbeing and success of graduate students at the Graduate Center through excellent psychological counseling and referral services, outreach, and education. The second component is to provide excellent clinical training to student mental health clinicians. The third component is to be responsive to the diversity of our students in all aspects of our work.
The Wellness Center is committed to respecting the dignity and person of all members of our community. We seek to maintain inclusive, mutually respectful attitudes and behavior in relation to others, regardless of difference. We recognize that difference may be immutable or changeable, and may be found in cultural, ethnic, religious, intellectual, ideological, political, sexual, gender, disability, and other domains. These differences make up our individual identities, and are essential to a complete university community of individuals with unique perspectives and backgrounds.
The Graduate Center's Student Counseling Service at the Wellness Center rejects all acts of hatred and reaffirms our commitment to students of all faiths, racial groups, nationalities, immigration statuses, genders, sexual orientations as well as political parties.

Assisting Students in Distress
Faculty and staff members are often in a unique position to identify and help students who are in distress. Sometimes students cannot or will not turn to family or friends. A student may view you as a trustworthy person in whom to confide. Your expression of concern may be a critical factor in saving a student's academic career or even their life. The purpose of this page is to help you recognize some of the symptoms of student distress and identify specific options for interventions and referrals to campus resources. The Wellness Center is available to assist you with these situations and to consult with you on how to intervene with a student.
Along with the ordinary life stressors, graduate students can struggle with their own special challenges that coincide with early, middle and later adulthood. These include adjusting to a new environment, effectively managing academic transition times, dealing with career path issues, handling financial and family responsibilities, and maintaining productive relationships with faculty and students. The stress can overwhelm their capacity to cope. Students may feel alone, isolated, and even hopeless when faced with academic and life challenges. These feelings can easily disrupt academic performance and may lead to dysfunctional coping and serious consequences such as substance abuse, suicidal thoughts and/or attempts, self-injury or other mental health concerns.
Tips for Recognizing Students in Distress
All of us at some time in our lives may have had challenging days, feel sad, depressed, and/or upset. Significant distress experienced over a prolonged period of time, however, may suggest a more serious problem.
Students experiencing a more serious problem may exhibit behaviors which may not necessarily be disruptive to others, but may nevertheless indicate something is wrong and signal that assistance is needed. These behaviors may include:
• Change from consistently good grades to poor performance.
• Change in class attendance or unexplained absences.
• Changed patterns of interaction that are unusual or markedly different, i.e., avoidance of participation, marked anxiety when called upon, domination of discussions, etc.
• Changes in other characteristics that may indicate that the student is having trouble managing stress successfully include poor concentration; fatigue; sad mood; decreased interest in activities, etc.
Students in moderate distress may exhibit behaviors that indicate significant emotional suffering. These students may also be reluctant or unable to acknowledge a need for personal help. Behaviors may include:
• Repeated requests for special consideration, such as deadline extensions, especially if the student appears uncomfortable or highly emotional while disclosing the circumstances prompting the request.
• New or repeated behavior which pushes the limits of decorum and interferes with effective management of the immediate environment.
• Unusual or exaggerated emotional responses which are obviously inappropriate to the situation.
• Other characteristics that suggest the student is having trouble managing stress successfully may be depressed mood, lethargy; falling asleep in class; very rapid speech; marked change in personal dress and hygiene.
Severely distressed students exhibit behaviors that signify an obvious crisis and necessitate emergency care. These problems are the easiest to identify. Examples may include:
• Highly disruptive behavior (e.g. hostility, aggression, violence, etc.)
• Inability to communicate clearly (garbled, slurred speech; unconnected, disjointed, or rambling thoughts.
• Loss of contact with reality (hearing or seeing things which others cannot see or hear; beliefs or actions greatly at odds with reality or probability).
• Stalking behaviors.
• Inappropriate communications (including threatening letters, email messages, harassment, incoherent communication, etc.).
• Overtly suicidal thoughts (including referring to suicide as a current option or in a written assignment).
• Threats to harm others.
How Can I Help A Distressed Student?
Faculty and staff are not expected to monitor students' behavior, nor are they expected to be clinicians. However, you may be the first contact for a student in distress and to provide an early opportunity to respond with the eventual help the student needs. As a "point-person" for the student's care, just by asking a few questions that could lead to your making a pain relieving or life enhancing referral for the student. If you feel at all uneasy about what to do, seek consultation. When you set up a time to talk with the student, try to arrange it when you will not be rushed or interrupted. Keep your own safety in mind when you interact with a student who is in distress. Consultation can help you decide whether you or others should initiate a discussion with the student.
• Reach out: Extend a genuine statement of interest in and concern for the student. Be calm and matter-of-fact in your approach. State clearly in behavioral terms what you have noticed that has led to your concern (e.g., "I've noticed that you've been absent from class lately, and I've been concerned. How are you doing?
• Listen: Listen in a non-judgmental fashion. Support begins with understanding. Students in distress often feel very vulnerable and are sensitive to real or imagined criticism.
• Empathize: Try to understand the student from his or her perspective.
• Normalize: If appropriate, reassure the student that many college students feel overwhelmed and stressed out.
• De-stigmatize counseling: Take the anxiety out of seeking help. Reassure the student that counseling is here for students because graduate school is a time for growth and development which can sometimes be challenging. You can affirm that seeking professional help is a positive and responsible thing to do, a sign of strength in reaching out for available resources.
When Should I Refer A Student To Counseling?
It is time to refer the student to counseling when…
• You don't know how to help the student.
• You feel that the student's circumstances are overwhelming.
• You feel unable to provide all the support the student needs.
• You feel that you have reached your limit or have exhausted your ideas on how to help.
• The student's struggles leave you feeling helpless and anxious.
• You feel angry or intimidated by the student's comments or behavior.
• You are spending large amounts of time on the student's problems.
Whenever you are in doubt about making a counseling referral, consult with a supervisor, colleague, or mental health provider. You may call Student Counseling Services at 212-817-7020 Monday-Friday between the hours of 9 and 5 to talk to a therapist. The therapist will be able to discuss your concerns and identify appropriate resources. You may not have to give the student's name in order to receive consultation that might be instrumental for resolution.
A student whose behavior has become threatening, violent, or significantly disruptive may need a different kind of approach involving campus security. You may want to call the Security office at 212-817-7777 and/or the Student Affairs office at 212-817-7420 for consultation.

Early Wars
War has touched Iowans' lives frequently over time. Even before Iowa was a state, armed conflict was part of life in the Iowa territory. Throughout the years hostilities between groups with opposing viewpoints have resulted in open warfare. Lives were lost as confrontations resulted in violent exchanges. Sometimes actual bloodshed was avoided. As you will see, in one case, only a few bees lost their lives! But too often the violent actions of humans created more destruction than the loss of a few bees as people struggled to establish homes in the Iowa territory.
Indian Conflicts
Even before European settlers arrived in the area that would become Iowa, native peoples at times entered into violent confrontations. In the early 1800s the Sauk and Meskwaki and the Ioway Indians lived in Iowa. The Sauk and Meskwaki lived in eastern Iowa along the Mississippi River. The Ioway lived in southeastern Iowa not far from the Sauk and Meskwaki. In 1821 a major battle took place between the two tribes when the Sauk and Meskwaki angered the Ioway by trying to acquire additional hunting grounds.
In Iowa the federal government had constructed 22 forts as fortifications against possible Native American attacks. In 1809 Black Hawk, a Sauk chief, led an attack on Fort Madison killing several soldiers. This was an omen of future clashes between Black Hawk and the federal government.
A treaty created by the federal government in 1804 called for the removal of the Sauk and Meskwaki from their land in western Illinois. In 1831 Black Hawk and his tribe were forced to move across the Mississippi River to the Iowa side. It was a very difficult move for Black Hawk and his followers. They suffered from hunger and cold. In the spring of 1832 they decided to go back to their lands in Illinois. When they got back to Illinois they clashed with the military over a three-month period. This became known as the Black Hawk War. In the end the Native Americans were defeated.
The Honey War
Sounds like a peculiar name for a war. But the Honey War of 1839 turned out to be an unusual war. It was unusual because no human lives were lost!
The war was the result of a dispute over the boundary between southern Iowa and northern Missouri. Iowans claimed the border was further south; the Missourians claimed it was further north. The difference between the two lines was about 2,600 acres of rich farm land. The people living in the disputed area thought they lived in Iowa. When the Missouri government tried to collect taxes from these settlers, the Missouri tax collector was arrested by Iowa authorities.
The Missouri governor sent the militia to the border area. The Iowa governor called for Iowa volunteers to meet at the border. Each man supplied his own weapon, so they didn't carry typical fighting gear. Reportedly one volunteer showed up ready to do battle with the aid of his family's ancestral sword, and another brought a sausage stuffer as a weapon! And yet another was armed with a plow blade!
Everybody thought war between Iowa and Missouri was unavoidable. But before any shots were fired, the Missouri troops were dismissed and the Missouri government agreed to the northern boundary line.
But that doesn't explain the curious name. It turns out that at one point during the disagreement someone destroyed a tree oozing with bees and honey in the disputed area. It must have been a memorable event because the name stuck!
Iowans and the Mexican War
When the United States went to war with Mexico in 1846 Iowans were affected. President James K. Polk issued a call for volunteers. The Iowa Territory put together 12 companies of men. In the end they never actually went to battle because other states supplied more than enough volunteers. But individual Iowans did attach themselves to units from other states and fought in the Mexican territory. A group of Mormons from Iowa joined the fight in California.
Kansas Problems Bleed Into Iowa
Between 1854 and 1856 the new territory of Kansas was the scene of a number of violent events. The U.S. Congress had passed a law that gave the citizens of Kansas the right to determine if they would be a slave state or a free state. This caused pro-slavery and abolitionist people to travel to Kansas hoping to influence the outcome of the pro-slavery or anti-slavery issue. Newspapers referred to the troubles in Kansas as "Bleeding Kansas."
Iowans played a role in the events in Kansas. Anti-slavery groups who traveled to Kansas from the East traveled across Iowa. They followed routes designed by William Penn Clarke, an Iowa City abolitionist. These travelers met in southwestern Iowa where they received arms and training before moving into Kansas. Fremont County, Iowa, offered hideouts and a medical aid station for those who were returning from Kansas and the violence there.
The Spirit Lake Massacre
Not all conflicts on Iowa lands ended so harmlessly as the Honey War. In 1857 the tragedy that became known as the "Spirit Lake Massacre" took place. A band of Sioux Indians attacked settlers in the Iowa great lakes region near Spirit Lake. Thirty-two white settlers were killed. Some were taken hostage by the Native Americans. Fourteen-year-old Mary Gardner lived through the hostage ordeal and was ransomed back from the Sioux. Historians debate the actions surrounding the Spirit Lake Massacre. Some historians think the Sioux were seeking revenge for the killing of a chief and his family by a white man years earlier.

New Canaan was a Mormon city state built in northern Utah. The ruins of Ogden were known to be part of New Canaan.
|The following is based on Van Buren and has not been confirmed by canon sources.
The town of New Canaan was founded in a ruined section of Ogden, Utah, by the Prophet Judah Black in 2235. The settlers of the town came from the ruins of New Jerusalem in Salt Lake City, the ruined utopia of pre-War Mormon optimism. Some great catastrophe befell New Jerusalem, possibly due to the insistence of its citizens on not dealing with the outside world.
Out of the shattered glass and broken steel of New Jerusalem, Judah led the survivors north. The town they established was far from ideal. They suffered greatly in their efforts to rebuild. The original population of the community was roughly one hundred. In 2253, only a few more than fifty citizens actually live in New Canaan. Judah Black died in 2245. Two years later, Jeremiah Rigdon claimed to have visions from God. While most of the Canaanites believed in Jeremiah, some disputed his revelations, and left.
By 2253, dozens of war refugees, fleeing the NCR-Brotherhood War, had wandered into New Canaan. Not wanting to repeat the mistakes of New Jerusalem, Jeremiah Rigdon allowed them to enter, but had difficulty keeping the peace.
|End of information based on Van Buren.
By 2277, New Canaan was a prosperous town and a powerful trading influence in the southwest, dominating the trade routes north of New Vegas, imposing heavy taxes on exterior caravan companies wishing to trade, such as the Crimson Caravan, making NCR expansion in the area difficult.
Three months after the First Battle of Hoover Dam, the New Canaanites welcomed the fallen Joshua Graham back into their flock, angering Caesar, who wished to erase Graham from history. To that end, Caesar had the White Legs, a tribe petitioning to be absorbed into the Legion, attack New Canaan with the objective of wiping out the New Canaanites. The town was destroyed, and their leader, Salt-Upon-Wounds had the earth salted so that nothing could grow there.
Roughly thirty survived the sacking, including Graham and Daniel. The survivors regrouped along the Colorado River, with the attitude that towns are just stone and mortar, and that a town's heart is its people, suggesting that the Mormons will attempt to rebuild elsewhere.
|The following is based on Van Buren and has not been confirmed by canon sources.
The outskirts border on the Great Salt Lake, Utah, and consist primarily of ruined buildings occupied by squatters and drifters, (like the west end of Klamath in Fallout 2). The main problem in this area is the presence of NCR refugees. Some of them are bad seeds, and dislike the strict rules and regulations of the town. A few of them even stay outside of the crude town walls themselves, having been exiled from the community for immoral behavior. This is actually very troublesome, as Jeremiah Maxwell only distributes free water to people living inside the town itself. The primary features of this map are: the eastern wall and gate, the squatter houses, the guard house, the general store, and the slaughterhouse.
Every day, Jeremiah and several brave Mormons journey out to have supper with the refugees on the exterior. Once a person has been expelled, the only way they are allowed back into Canaan is by submitting to the Mormon baptismal rite.
The town borders on the Great Salt Lake. It is surrounded by concrete and makeshift walls. The Canaanites keep most of their houses and businesses here. The town section is cleaner than the outskirts section, and relatively intact, considering an atomic firestorm once swept through the area. In addition to the modest homes and farms of the Canaanites, the main features of the town are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the New Canaan sheriff's office/jail, and the pump house. Jeremiah Rigdon and two priests are generally found at the church, though all three have homes of their own. One of the most important aspects of the New Canaan community is its racial tolerance. Four ghouls (one glowing) and one super mutant mark the extremes of a very mixed community.
Ogden's Union Station sits unused. If the player gets the trains up and working, he or she can take the train here. A few people live near the train tracks, including most of the super mutant and ghoul members of the Mormon faith. It's a little messier than the town itself, but not as bad as the outskirts.

- From a dialogue with Joshua Graham, each tribe has a favorite weapon. New Canaan's has been the .45 Auto pistol for over 400 years. Joshua possesses a unique model of this weapon, which he masters to perfection, but not Daniel, preferring the .45 Auto submachine gun.
- If you ask Ringo, a trader from the Crimson Caravan Company, about what's next for him, he will say that he will be leading the first major caravan to New Canaan. He has no knowledge of the White Legs that destroyed it.
New Canaan does not appear in any of the published games, but was to appear in the canceled Fallout 3 project by Black Isle codenamed Van Buren, and was designed mostly by J.E. Sawyer. In later drafts of design documents, it says that New Canaan was destroyed in riots and Jericho is all that remained of it, but as New Canaan is mentioned occasionally and appears in graffiti in Fallout: New Vegas, this is non-canon. Some of this graffiti may be found in abandoned places that are not marked locations such as old garages or road signs. New Canaan is also mentioned frequently in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts and appears to have been destroyed by the White Legs.
Behind the scenesEdit
- Canaan was the land believed to have been promised by God to Abraham and his followers in the Bible.
- According to the location's design document, the design for this town was inspired by The Mission and The Last Temptation of Christ, as well as the opening of The Gunslinger.
- New Canaan is also the barony of which Gilead is the capital city in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. It is the hailing point of the gunslingers. The preferred weapon is the "hard caliber" (speculated to be the .45), though only a revolver. The .45 Colt was made for revolvers in 1872; it is sometimes known as .45LC, the Long Colt. "Hard caliber" refers to the pressing process, where the solid lead is hard cast into shape.

Each of our 42 teams receives comprehensive support and effort from the strength and conditioning staff during their designated training times. Strength and conditioning works closely with each sport coach to implement the most effective year-round training for each team. Through the guidance of strength coaches, student-athletes develop skills such as discipline, perseverance, goal-setting, teamwork, mental toughness and work ethic. These instill habits that will lead students to better and healthier lives.
The cornerstones of Harvard strength and conditioning are intensity and consistency.
We run a full-service program, focusing on strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, flexibility, recovery, nutrition, and injury prevention and management. Strength training emphasizes multi-joint, multi-plane movements such as power cleans, squats and upper-body presses. Rotational movements, balance and stability, unilateral exercises, and core training are also priorities. All programs are periodized to match team goals at given times of the year. Speed, agility and conditioning are tailored to the needs of each sport. Flexibility, recovery, nutrition and injury prevention are incorporated into all team training programs.
Harvard strength and conditioning is committed to the idea of sound mind, sound body. We honor the values of the University, and support the principles of the Ivy League and the NCAA.

Antipyretics (), from the Greek anti, against, and pyreticus, pertaining to fever, are substances that reduce fever.[1] Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override an interleukin-induced increase in temperature. The body then works to lower the temperature, resulting in a reduction in fever.
Most antipyretic medications have other purposes. The most common antipyretics in the United States are ibuprofen and aspirin, which are used primarily as pain relievers. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and pain relievers.
There is some debate over the appropriate use of such medications, as fever is part of the body's immune response to infection.[2][3] A study published by the Royal Society claims fever suppression causes at least 1% more influenza cases of death, resulting in at least 700 extra deaths per year in the United States alone.[4]

- In children 2.2

Non-pharmacological treatment
Bathing or sponging with lukewarm or cool water can effectively reduce body temperature in those with heat illness but not usually in those with fever.[5] The use of alcohol baths is not an appropriate cooling method, because there have been reported adverse events associated with systemic absorption of alcohol.[6]
Many medications have antipyretic effects and thus are useful for fever but not heat illness, including:
- NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen, and nimesulide.
- Aspirin, and related salicylates like choline salicylate, magnesium salicylate, and sodium salicylate.
- Paracetamol (USAN and JAN: Acetaminophen).
- Metamizole, banned in over 30 countries for causing agranulocytosis
- Nabumetone
- Phenazone, also known as antipyrine, available in combination with benzocaine as an ear drop in the US.
Traditional use of higher plants with antipyretic properties is a common worldwide feature of many ethnobotanical cultural systems. In ethnobotany, plants with naturally occurring antipyretic properties are commonly referred to as febrifuges.[7][8]
In children
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notes that improper dosing is one of the biggest problems in giving acetaminophen (paracetamol) to children.[9] The effectiveness of acetaminophen alone as an antipyretic in children is uncertain, with some evidence showing it is no better than physical methods.[10] Therapies involving alternating doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen have shown greater antipyretic effect than either drug alone.[11] One meta-analysis indicated that ibuprofen is more effective than acetaminophen in children at similar doses when both are given alone.[12] Due to concerns about Reye syndrome, the U.K. NHS,[13] the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Surgeon General, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend that aspirin and combination products containing aspirin not be given to children or teenagers during episodes of fever-causing illnesses.[14] However, the decreased use of Aspirin with the converse increased use of Acetaminophen/Paracetamol has been linked to the increase in asthma and other autoimmune disorders by several studies. Physicians recommending Acetaminophen/Paracetamol should use caution and be especially attentive to any genetic or environmental predisposition to asthma or other autoimmune disorders.[15]

For some time now analysts and investors have watched the demise of the Indian economy. GDP growth has slowed, the deficit is high, and foreign investors have lost interest.
In a new Project Syndicate column Kenneth Rogoff blames this "fall from macroeconomic grace" on the country's "political paralysis".
Rogoff thinks that prime minister Manmohan Singh has realized the need for reform but points out that it is unlikely that Sonia Gandhi the president of the Congress Party, the country's "most powerful politician" agrees.
He writes that India needs sustained growth and has a rather radical suggestion to fix the political stagnancy that has caused the nation's economic rout:
"Some argue that central-government paralysis is inevitable in a democracy of 1.2 billion people, and that the only way to re-energize India is to establish a looser confederation of its constituent states. Devolution would unshackle the economically more successful states. And, by combating the culture of aid dependency in economically weaker states, India's poorer regions might benefit in the long run as well.
As dysfunctional as a decentralized Europe seems to be these days, India might benefit from moving a few steps in that direction, even as Europe itself struggles to become more centralized. Devolution might sound unrealistic, but once upon a time so did the European Union. If Singh's new reform agenda is again blocked, perhaps it will be time for a more radical assessment."
There's an idea.

As everyone knows, video games are anything but cheap.
And if you're like myself, you don't have much use for them after beating one.
So, what to do?
Gamestop is an option, but it stings getting a fraction of trade-in value on what was originally paid. Ebay is also an option, but then you can be a victim of a flooded market on a particular game, or perhaps the perils associated with buyers shying away from lack of feedback on your profile.
Gamestaq.com isn't anything ground breaking, but it offers competition in a fairly exclusive marketplace and that is a good thing.
Gamestaq claims to take the guesswork out by establishing a fair market value on games for you. So whether buying or selling, you know right away what you're getting into.
According to the site, Gamestaq Beta was previously launched during the second half of 2009 to an exclusive group of 2,000 gamers and testers. Feedback from this audience allowed Gamestaq to significantly refine its offering for both buyers and sellers.
I haven't tried it, but I did spend some time tooling around the website and it seems VERY easy to use. Also, the prices on marquee titles were appealing (I found a copy of Call of Duty Black Ops for $39.80, while MLB the Show came in under $17).
But don't take my word for it, take a minute and check it out for yourself. Might just find something you like.

Next hot commodity? Arabica coffee beans
Posted by TheShot on 05 Sep 2006 | Tagged as: Beans, Robusta
Although expectations of record robusta coffee bean prices were set months ago, it wasn't until last month that the price of robusta reached a seven-year high in London. What's next? Some say arabica beans, according to an article in today's Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Next hot commodity? Arabica coffee beans.
With record robusta prices hitting the pocketbooks of the world's biggest el cheapo coffee purveyors (i.e., the Big Four: Nestlé, Proctor & Gamble, Kraft [Phillip Morris/Altria Group], and Sara Lee [now Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA]), suddenly the higher quality arabica beans seem more attractive. Some analysts anticipate that this will cause price waves in the arabica market.
Good luck at getting any one of them making better coffee.

One Response to "Next hot commodity? Arabica coffee beans"
[…] With coffee prices reaching new highs, suddenly the premiums that organic and Fair Trade coffee beans used to command are dwindling in comparison to the additional overhead required of growers. Or so suggests an article today from Reuters: Reuters AlertNet – FEATURE-Farmers question value of 'responsible' coffees. […]

Type #1
Prefers to text and call. Goes on Twitter once in a while. Updates Facebook occasionally.
Basically, if you're on a bit of a budget and you want to have free SMSs and call time thrown in, this is the plan for you. There are two to choose from – Value Plus Internet 50 and Value Plus Internet 30 – both with a very low monthly commitment fee, starting from RM 30.
They both come with 250 MB of data allocation and either 100 SMS + 100 call minutes or 50 SMS or 50 call minutes depending on the plan.
You can get a iPhone4S 16GB for as low as RM 1,950 with a 24 month contract with this new iPhone4S plans from Maxis! :)
Type #2
Heavy data usage. Updates your social media apps each time you're out with photos or videos. Constantly on the social media sphere and communicating with you takes a few seconds at the most. Foursquare, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, you're on them all!
You're always online and consume large amounts of data from YouTube and frequent Apple Store app downloads. Skype video calls is what you look for when you think of communicating with someone. You need Internet Value 50 or Internet Value 75.
The latter allows you a very comfortable 3.5 GB of data per month and with this plan, you'll get an iPhone4S 16GB from only RM 1,990 with a 24 month contract. However, if this describes you, a 16GB iPhone4S won't be enough, will it? ;)
All those apps you download needs to go somewhere so go for an iPhone4S 64GB from only RM 2,690!
Type #3
You already have a plan with Maxis. Now, all you need is Internet so add Mobile Internet to your existing plan and get an iPhone4S from as low as RM 1,750!
There are two plans to choose from – depending on your data usage habits – Mobile Internet 1GB and Mobile Internet 3GB.
You can tether your iPhone4S to your notebook for instant HSDPA access when you're out and about or use it as a Wireless AP so keep that in mind when you're an existing Maxis Value Plus user adding on a Mobile Internet plan. Find out more about the new Maxis iPhone4S Rate Plans.
It's very useful both for work and play, being able to have your very own wireless hotspot so you can be connected using your notebook or tablet anywhere 24/7. :)

The GHC Commentary
This tree of wiki pages is a "commentary" on the GHC source code. It contains all the explanatory material that doesn't belong in comments in the source code itself, because the material is wide-ranging, usually covers multiple source files, and is more architectural in nature. The commentary can also be considered a design document for GHC.
For the dedicated, there are videos of Simon and Simon giving an overview of GHC, at the 2006 GHC Hackathon.
Editing the Commentary
Please feel free to add material to the rest of the wiki: don't worry too much about accuracy (in due course someone will edit your contribution). When unsure though please indicate this and its best to ask on the GHC mailing list so you can correct the commentary. Please give some thought to where in the commentary your contribution belongs. GHC has an older commentary (non wiki based) that read like a single coherent narrative, made sure to define terms before using them, and introduced concepts in the order which made them easiest to understand. Please do try to preserve those properties in this wiki commentary. If you're unsure or in a hurry, consider creating a wiki page outside the commentary and linking to it from the commentary (or the "contributed documentation" section below).
Try to link to source files as much as possible by using this macro:
[[GhcFile(compiler/Makefile)]]. Also try to add appropriate links to other parts of the commentary.

reneewood necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 4 diseños de 2 diseñadores freelance.
I need someone to sketch a design for an ornament that will ultimately be sculpted into clay and then cast into pewter. (I'll take care of that part!) I have purchased a piece of clip art that is the exact type of design I am looking for. We just need to incorporate a rainbow into the design and add wording to make it unique. Our previous ornament designs have been created from a simple pencil sketch.
Desired Color Scheme:
black and white
Desired Style:
Just something that is soothing and comforting.
I am an online retailer of sympathy gifts and am in the middle of creating an entire line of memorial pewter ornaments.
For this years ornament, I would like the wording, "I thank my God everytime I remember you. Phil. 1:3".
I have found the exact design that I am looking for.I purchased this clip art, so this should give everyone a real clear picture of what I have in mind. It is a simple mountain landscape with trees and a church. We do need to add a rainbow as the top arch of the ornament design and the wording, "I thank my God every time I remember you. Phil 1:3". Here is the link to the clip art inspiration for this ornament:
This is royalty-free clip art. Can we use it and just add a rainbow arch over the design and the bible verse at the bottom? I'm not familiar with the terms of royalty-free clip art.
Here are the seven ornaments we currently manufacturer to give you some idea of what the finished products look like:
The finished ornaments range in size, but I would like this piece to be about 2 1/2" - 2 3/4" all around.
I would love to see some ideas for this very special project!

Cameron University has received matching funds totaling $306,000 from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for endowed faculty positions that have been established by Cameron supporters, thanks to action taken by Governor Mary Fallin and the Oklahoma Legislature to provide matching funds during the 2012 Legislative Session. The matching funds will be added to the principal for each of the endowed positions. Investment income from the endowment accounts will be utilized for a variety of educational and research projects involving Cameron students and faculty.
"The State Regents' matching fund program for endowments is a significant resource for Cameron University," says Albert Johnson, Jr., Vice President for University Advancement. "We are grateful to Gov. Fallin and the members of the Legislature for investing in Oklahoma's future by making these matching funds possible. Our students will benefit greatly from the programs made possible by these dollars."
Funding has now been matched for the initial contributions of six endowed faculty positions and supplemental contributions to one other. The endowed faculty positions receiving matching funds are in the disciplines of chemistry, mathematical sciences, English, military science and leadership, political science, research, and physical and biological sciences.
"Cameron enjoys the generous support of donors who have helped the university become the University of Choice for Southwest Oklahoma and beyond," Johnson says. "This matching program allows their contributions to go farther and have an even greater impact on our students."
Cameron boasts 73 endowed faculty positions, more than any other regional university in the state. Endowed faculty positions, which include chairs, professorships and lectureships, make a direct contribution to the quality of teaching and learning at Cameron by enabling academic endeavors that would not otherwise be possible.
Matching funds totaling more than $226,000 are still pending for the initial contributions for six faculty endowments as well as supplemental contributions to one endowed chair.

Webroot, the market leader in cloud-based, real-time Internet threat detection, today announced that Webroot SecureAnywhere® Business – Endpoint Protection has again been identified as the performance leader among eight endpoint protection products. These products were tested for overall impact on PC performance by Passmark Software, an independent software testing lab.
Click to Tweet: Webroot SecureAnywhere Again Outpaces the Competition http://bit.ly/1oMqXpS
Webroot earned top ratings for the second consecutive year in this comprehensive performance testing, finishing 38 percent ahead of the next closest competitor in overall performance score. Each product was rated according to 13 core performance metrics using the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit operating system. Based on the results, Webroot SecureAnywhere Business – Endpoint Protection installed faster, scanned faster, used less memory and required less disk space than every major competitor. The complete report is available at http://www.webroot.com/shared/pdf/Passmark_Endpoint.pdf.
Top Report Findings for Webroot SecureAnywhere Business – Endpoint Protection:
- Installed nearly 9 times faster than the nearest competitor, and over 250 times faster than the worst performing product.
- Requires 13 times less disk space than the next smallest product tested, 79 times less than the largest product tested.
- Lightest on CPU usage while scanning, requiring less than half the processing power of the average competitive product.
- Uses only 93 percent less memory than the average competitor when running an initial scan.
- Attained the highest overall score, 97 out of 104 possible points, beating the next closest competitor by 38 percent.
"When we released Webroot SecureAnywhere Business – Endpoint Protection two years ago, it set a new standard for performance; eliminating the system lags, slow scans, and other performance problems that businesses had experienced for years with other endpoint security products," said Mike Malloy, executive vice president of products and strategy at Webroot. "The latest Passmark test results clearly show Webroot has maintained that advantage. In terms of overall performance, there's Webroot, and then there's everyone else."

by Geoff Duncan <email@example.com>
Apple today announced the addition of pre-configured Internet servers to its PowerPC-based Apple Workgroup Server bundles under the top-heavy name "Apple Internet Server Solution for the World Wide Web." These bundles are based on the Apple Workgroup Servers 6150/66, 8150/110, and 9150/120 (which Apple announced last week), run Mac OS 7.5.1, and include an extensive CD-ROM software bundle especially for setting up World-Wide Web services. The machines don't come with any connection methods or hardware - so don't look for modems, ISDN, or routers in the box - but all have built-in Ethernet and (in the case of the 9150/120) more expansion slots than you can shake a stick at. The idea is to offer inexpensive Web servers that are easy to set up, easy to manage, and don't require administrators to learn Unix. Apple hasn't provided specific pricing, but costs for the servers are estimated to start at $2,900 for base models, running up to $8,700 or more for high-end systems.
Lucrative Software Bundle -- Part of what makes these Internet Servers appealing is their software - the bundle alone goes a long way toward justifying the cost of the machines. First on the list is WebSTAR from StarNine Technologies, which Mac users who are already running Mac-based Web servers will recognize as Chuck Shotton's much-anticipated MacHTTP 3.0. WebSTAR enables the Mac to respond to HTTP requests from the Web, serve data to clients, and execute CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts to handle image maps, forms, and other custom interactive features. The bundling is utterly logical: MacHTTP is the pre-eminent HTTP server available for the Macintosh; however, unlike current versions of MacHTTP, WebSTAR is threaded, which should result in significant performance improvements because individual actions within WebSTAR can multitask within the application.
But wait - that's just the beginning. The Internet servers ship with AppleSearch 1.5 - itself a $1,400 product - enabling rapid searches through a wide variety of information sources, including Internet-based WAIS databases. The Internet servers also come with Adobe's Acrobat Pro and runtime versions FileMaker Pro, HyperCard, and EveryWare Development's Butler SQL - any or all of which could prove valuable in producing or serving information via the Web. In addition, the servers ship with AppleScript (handy for writing custom CGIs), the Netscape Navigator Web browser, and a version of Bare-Bones Software's BBEdit with HTML extensions for authoring Web pages (see TidBITS-202 for a somewhat dated review of BBEdit). And wait, even if we sound like a Ginsu knife advertisement, there's more - the servers also include custom CGIs for handling email, image maps, and HTML forms, as well as a CGI similar to AppleWebSearch to let WebSTAR use AppleSearch for searches and database queries.
The only piece missing from this attractive collection is MacDNS, a Macintosh-based domain-name server. MacDNS is in beta right now and is reportedly available for the asking for those who purchase the Internet Servers; Apple expects to make it available on future Internet servers and as a software update to current customers.
Why Not Go With Unix? Sources at Apple indicate that they expect the lower-end of the Internet server line to be especially interesting to smaller sites that don't have high-bandwidth connections to the Internet. After all, putting a 9150/120 on a 28.8 Kbps external link is nothing but an efficient means of overkill. This strategy is supported by the 9150/120's inclusion of an internal DAT backup system, whereas the 6150/66 and 8150/110 don't ship with built-in backup devices. Why? Apple and others expect the lower-end servers will have an appeal as "swarms" of low-cost, mirrored machines once MacDNS is available. MacDNS will enable "round-robin" DNS load balancing, permitting server requests to a single Internet address to be distributed to an array of identically-configured Macs. In this manner, a bank of 6150/66's could significantly outperform a much more powerful (and much more expensive) Unix server. Since each machine is identically configured in this scheme, there's no need for each machine to have a built-in backup system.
On a price/performance basis, these servers are downright cheap, especially considering the street price and utility of the bundled software. These are also the easiest Web servers available anywhere as far as installation and setup are concerned, and they don't require Mac-based sites to learn and configure a whole new platform. Additionally, Apple is expected to offer the same extensive technical support options for Internet servers as it does for its Workgroup Servers, including on-site support. And, frankly, another point in favor of these machines is that they don't run Unix, making them immune to the vast majority of security threats faced by administrators of Unix-based Internet machines.
All in all, Apple seems to be moving forward in promoting the Macintosh as a viable Internet platform, an these servers and software bundles go a long way to making that point financially appealing. Although this first crop of Internet servers aren't quite a plug-and-play solution - users still need to work out the details of a dedicated network connection and DNS service, and the Apple Internet Servers don't come with server software for email, FTP, or Gopher - they're certainly a step in the right direction.

Kale Chip Sprinkles for People Who Don't Particularly Like Desiccated Leaves
Kale is the undisputed heavyweight champion of health foods, right? Exuding antioxidants and other body-friendly forms of goodness in every green leaf ... And the latest trend in the food world seems to be kale chips, which are basically desiccated kale leaves - salted or spiced - and eaten like potato chips.
They are NOT potato chips.
They are dried leaves.
I can't stand them.
But, because kale's so incredibly awesome, and because I often seem to find myself in possession of more of it than I know what to do with ... I made kale chips.
I tried, I really did. I put desiccated kale leaves into my mouth and chewed, and thought about all the other yummy things I could be eating instead. And then? I was inspired.
I crumbled those withered kale leaves into a hundred thousand little pieces. (Which was a lot of fun, you should try it).
I poured them into a spice shaker, which I just happened to have in my cupboard.
And began sprinkling them on salads.
And you know what? Kale sprinkles are BEAUTIFUL! Flecks of dark green tastiness clinging on to salad leaves or buttered pasta; dashed across avocado on toast; even chucked into smoothies now and then ...
Which means I'm never again going to let kale wilt unhappily in my crisper ... I'm going to make it into kale sprinkles.
So, do you have any food trend un-faves you'd like to share? Please do!
Amanda xx
The time
5-10 min prep + 15-20 min baking
The ingredients
A bunch of kale, with the leaves removed from the stalks. (Use the stalks here!)
1-2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
sea salt, to taste
The process
1. Preheat the oven to 140C (280F). Wash the kale and dry it with a tea towel or in a salad spinner. Remove the stalks (but save them!) and tear the leaves into little potato-chip sized pieces (because we can at least pretend they're similar ... )
2. Coat the kale leaves with olive oil and sea salt and pop (on a cookie sheet or tray) into the oven for 15-20 minutes, checking them regularly and using a spoon to turn/readjust them for even drying. They're done when they're nice and dry and crumble-able. But wait till they're cool before you crumble them up ... I know how excited you are ...
The cost
$4 for a massive, organic bunch of kale. I'm not even going to count the oil or salt.
Dish of the Day
It's been awhile since I played this little thrifting game, but I thrifted my Maxwell Williams salad plate (above) for $4 and those lovely vintage salad tongs (also above) for $0.20. The lovely napkins - which Nelle calls the 'beautiful napkins' and demands exclusive use of - and the crazy cool cheeseboard (made from an oak barrel that used to store wine!) we got as wedding presents. (Thank you, friends.)
You can find more thrifted treasures here.

I love love love that you spoke out about kale chips! Honestly i've never had them nor made them, but it's all anyone is talking about these days. But boy do I love kale. salad. smoothies. stir fried. steamed. simmered in soup. All of it.
But now I must make kale chips, just so I can make kale sprinkles :)
- April 16, 2012 at 10:20 PM
Great idea! I am trying to become a Kale lover because I keep hearing how good it is for me. I can now eat it as a salad with light dressing, kale chips (I like in small doses), and now to try the new Kale sprinkles idea.
We have tried all kinds of greens sautaed (sp?) and baked (like Kale chips). Our favorites for sauteing are Beet greens and for baking are Swiss Chard (I prefer the green Swiss Chard best). ----Linda (Smith) Morris

Hi Hilary, welcome! We like to be trend-setters around here, as you can see ... ;)
And Linda! Lovely to hear from you. I have to agree on the beet greens. Who would imagine? I've even managed to sneak them past my beet-loathing husband :)
Enjoy your sprinkles ...

Amanda... Where locally (Brisbane) is a good place to find organic kale?
This is a brilliant idea!
Thank you

Hi Kels, The BEST place to get organic kale is the Northey Street Farmer's market - on Sunday mornings.
Otherwise, I have good - but variable - luck finding lovely kale at Flannery's in Taringa/South Brisbane or Wray Organic in Indooroopilly/Newmarket.
Or, this is a good time of year for planting kale seedlings ... if you can keep the possums away!
Happy hunting!
- April 16, 2012 at 11:45 PM
Thanks so much!! Will hit the markets :)

Oh perfect I just planted quite a lot of Kale in our veggie patch. I presume it will grow well here - other brassicas do well, as do any leafy greens, so should be good. These sprinkles are a great idea - i guess if they are salty and have other herbs or spices they are DIY herbsalt?!

Sarah, I love that idea! DIY herbsalt. Yes yes yes.

I know Kale is the latest trend in healthy food and yes, I hear of it everywhere. I have yet to try it. This post wants me to get out and find some and get busy making the sprinkles. If I can't take the taste of a Kale salad or smoothie, I can surely take it sprinkled over my salads.

I have a garden full of kale right now and am eating a lot. Does anyone know just how the dehydrated leaves stack up nutritionally compared to fresh. I'd love to dry some for the off-season.
- April 25, 2012 at 11:09 AM
- Easy peasy organic said... [Reply to comment]
Hi gg,
My understanding is that foods dehydrated at low temperatures retain all their raw nutritional goodness ... dehydration just removes the water, leaving everything else behind. If you're concerned, you could dry them in a proper food dehydrator or at a lower temp in the oven :)

I was just thinking I'd love to explore new ideas for kale, since it's so good for you but so... weird! Haha! This is such a perfect idea!! I will absolutely be trying it. Thanks! :)

We are all about Confident, sexy, and enthusiastic. Our promo staff work everywhere from roadshows, events such as the grand prix, for in store samplings etc.
We are modern, fast growing and bold.
We also want to be seen as the leaders of the market- so we need to look proffessional as we want to hunt down BIG clients.
We are targeting big blue chip clients on one hand (such as smirnoff/red bull etc), but on the other hand also want to attract 18-35 yr olds to work for us as brand ambassadors.
I need this logo to be similar in colour to the one for my other company Zest Marketing (I will upload)- however it needs to look more modern and sexier (if that makes sense).
Maybe we could just use the same colour scheme? think model agency.

Change your ab routine.
Doing standard sit-ups? If so, that could be the sole cause of your low-back pain, especially if you have a desk-bound job. According to Stuart McGill, a leading low-lumber pain expert at Canada's University of Waterloo, sitting at a desk all day causes low-back flexion – the same thing that happens when you do traditional crunches and sit-ups. And all that spinal flexion can add up to low-back aches and pain. "The primary reason men ages 25 to 55 get low-back injury is because of repeated or prolonged spinal flexion," says McGill. But that doesn't mean you should ditch ab work: Strengthening your core without flexing your spine can help prevent low-back pain. McGill recommends doing planks and "stir-the-pots." Never done a stir-the-pot? Kneel in front of a Swiss ball with your back neutral or flat. Place your forearms on the ball, and without rotating your upper back, use your abs and glute muscles to draw circles with the ball on the floor, "stirring" in one direction, and then changing to the other side.

The pennies were collected by the students in prior years and used to help build the new community swimming pool.
Workers came up with more than one way to transport the slippery sacks, including dollies, boxes and skateboards. However, most were just trucked by hand from the office to the curb. Students spent almost four weeks counting and sacking the coins.
The school thought there would be one million coins, but the preliminary count is more than 1,150,000. The official count by the bank will let the school know exactly how many pennies were donated.

The previous post in this series showed the Peter and Clara De Luca family in the 1930 US Census in Phelps County, Missouri. They were living there with their three youngest children, Anna, Peter Jr., and Lena. We also saw their older daughters, Mary and Rose, living in St. Louis with Mary's husband and young daughter.
This post is primarily about the De Luca family death records I've collected. As one can see, the De Luca family eventually settled in southern California, which is where much of the family remains today. The first one is for Clementina "Clara" Trillo De Luca. I first found her date of death from the California death index at Ancestry.com.
|Clementi M Deluca
|Social Security #:
|Birth Date:
|9 Jan 1886
|Death Date:
|28 Jun 1967
|Death Place:
|Los Angeles
|Mother's Maiden Name:
This gave me the date and county of death, which I used to order the death certificate. The unusual thing about this entry is that it gives a mother's maiden name but no father's surname.
Name: Clementina DeLucaWhen I got the death certificate, I realized why Clementina's father's surname was not listed in the index at Ancestry.com. On the actual death certificate, her father is listed as Pietro DeLuca. However, I knew that was her husband and not her father, and I presume that the indexer at Ancestry.com realized this as well. So then I wondered if Matilda Trello was truly her mother's maiden name, or if that was her own name. I had learned from Steve Zulpo that Clementina's full maiden name was actually Clementina Matilda Trillo. I have seen this happen before: the informant gives her own parent's names instead of the parents of the deceased. I believe this is what Elizabeth (De Luca) Menchini did on her mother's death certificate.
Date of death: 28 Jun 1967
Time of death: 5:07 AM
Sex: Female
Race: Cauc
Birthplace: Italy
Date of birth: 9 Jan 1886
Age: 81
Name and birthplace of father: Pietro DeLuca, Italy
Maiden name and birthplace of mother: Matilda Trello, Italy
Citizenship: USA
Occupation: Housewife
Number of years in occupation: 64
Industry: Own Home
Ever in armed forces: no
Marital Status: Widowed
Place of death: Rio Hondo Hospital, 8400 Telegraph Road, Downey, Los Angeles County
Length of stay in county of death: 20 years
Length of stay in California: 20 years
Residence: 5433 S. Rosemead Blvd, Pico Rivera, Los Angeles, California
Informant: Mrs. Elizabeth Menchini
Date of burial: 30 Jun 1967
Place of burial: Holy Cross Cemetery
Funeral home: Pico Rivera Funeral Home
Cause of death: Acute pancreatitis
Other secondary conditions: Cholelithiasis
So, I ordered the death certificate of her son, Peter Louis De Luca, Jr., my brother-in-law's grandfather. I figured this would help in confirming her own maiden name as Trillo/Trello.
Name of decedent: Peter Louis De LucaThis stated that Clementina's maiden name was in fact Trillo, and that this was not her mother's maiden name.
Date of birth: 12/08/1916
Age: 86
Sex: M
Birth State: Missouri
Ever in U.S. Armed Forces: no
Marital Status: Married
Date of death: 8/10/2003
Hour: 2015
Education: HS Graduate
Decedent's Race: White
Was decdent Spanish/Hispanic/Latino: no
Usual occupation: Manufacturer
Kind of business: Defense products
Years in occupation: 35
Decedent's residence: 43500 Old Harbor Drive, Bermuda Dunes, Riverside, California 92201
Years in county: 35
Informant's Name: [removed to protect privacy of living individuals]
Informant's Address: [removed to protect privacy of living individuals]
Name of surviving spouse: [first name removed to protect privacy] Hartman
Name of father: Peter Louis De Luca
Birthplace: Italy
Maiden Name of Mother: Clementina Matilda Trillo
Birthplace: Italy
Disposition Date: 08/18/2003
Place of final disposition: Palm Springs Mausoleum, 59901 East Ramon Road, Cathedral City, CA 92234
Type of disposition: Burial
Name of funeral establishment: Palm Springs Mortuary, Cathedral City
Place of death: Residence, 43500 Old Harbor Drive, Bermuda Dunes, Riverside
Cause of death: End stage Alzheimer's Disease
I also found the following on Peter in the California death index at Ancestry.com:
|Peter L Deluca
|Social Security #:
|Birth Date:
|10 Oct 1855
|Other Country
|Death Date:
|2 Aug 1945
|Death Place:
|Los Angeles
|Mother's Maiden Name:
|Father's Surname:
I'm pretty sure that birth date of 1855 is incorrect. From census records and family sources, it appears that he was born in 1877 or 1878. This gives a maiden name for Peter's mother: YENATA. I've taken a look around Louise Shapcott's Surnames of Atina page and determined that this must be a misspelling of IANNOTA. From Peter's death date and the 1930 US Census record, it looks like the Peter and Clara settled in southern California sometime between 1930 and 1945. From this index entry, it appears that he did not have a social security number, or that it wasn't given on his death record.
When Peter's death record arrives, I will do another post here. I have also sent off for Clementina's social security application. Stay tuned!

Vive La France on Iran
The French save the West from a very bad nuclear deal with Iran.
We never thought we'd say this, but thank heaven for French foreign-policy exceptionalism. At least for the time being, François Hollande's Socialist government has saved the West from a deal that would all but guarantee that Iran becomes a nuclear power.
While the negotiating details still aren't fully known, the French made clear Saturday that they objected to a nuclear agreement that British Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama were all too eager to sign. These two leaders remind no one, least of all...

GIS Certificate
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, querying, analyzing, and displaying geographic data. Since its beginning, GIS has been important in natural resource management, such as land use planning, timber management, wildlife habitat analysis, riparian zone monitoring, and natural hazard assessment. In more recent years the range of GIS applications has broadened to include emergency planning, market analysis, facilities management, and transportation planning. GIS has become a mainstream information system, specializing in information that has a geographic or spatial component.
The opportunity to enhance your educational foundation in geographical information systems (GIS) or to strengthen your GIS credentials is available through the GIS Certificate in the Department of Geography. GIS is the computer technology that uses digital information about earth surface features and location patterns to produce useful maps and analytical solutions to complex problems in physical, environmental, social, and economic sciences. Applications of GIS have expanded continuously during the past decade and GIS software has become very powerful, enabling complex problem solving in a wide variety of public and private sector settings worldwide.
The GIS Certificate is designed to serve students and professionals who are not able to complete the B.S. or M.S. degree, but who want a basic understanding of techniques and application potential of GIS. It is intended for current University of Idaho students and recent graduates in non-GIS majors, and professionals interested in retraining or upgrading their skills in GIS. The classes in the certificate provide basic skills of GIS and an introduction to GIS applications, integration of remote sensing with GIS, and knowledge of the research directions in GIS technology. A modern computer integrated classroom is available for those students pursuing the GIS Certificate.
