Federal regulations require that all students who receive federal financial aid (including lottery scholarships) make Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (also referred to as SAP throughout this policy and the ETSU Office of Financial Aid website) toward achieving a degree.
Federal Regulations require the Office of Financial Aid at East Tennessee State University
to establish, publish and apply standards to monitor a student's progress toward completion
of their degree program. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is used to define successful completion of coursework to maintain eligibility for
student financial aid. ETSU students who wish to be considered for financial aid
must maintain satisfactory academic progress in their selected program of study.
The Office of Financial Aid evaluates SAP at the end of each semester.
TRANSFER STUDENTS- Evaluation for Satisfactory Academic Progress will occur once all transcripts have been received, reviewed, and rolled into the student academic history.
REQUIRED FEDERAL STANDARDS (Students must maintain the following standards to remain eligible for financial aid).
QUALITATIVE PROGRESS STANDARDS – Required Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)
- Graduate students must have a 3.0 GPA average overall and on the program of study. Undergraduate Students are required to maintain the GPA listed below for number of hours attempted.
Qualitative Progress Standards (GPA)
Semester Hours Attempted
Required Cumulative GPA (Net)
0 - 29
29.1 - 45
45.1 - 59.9
Students are required to complete 67 percent of total credit hours attempted (make PACE toward their degree). See examples below:
Quantitative Progress Standards (PACE)
Attempted Hours Enrolled
Earned Hours Required
How to Calculate PACE
Cumulative number of credit hours earned divided by Cumulative number of credit hours attempted
Examples: Student has attempted 15 hours and earned 12. Take the 12 earned hours and divide by 15 hours attempted (12/15 = 80%). Student would remain eligible for financial aid.
Student has attempted 30 hours and earned 18. Take the 18 earned hours and divide by the 30 hours attempted (18/30 = 60%). Student would be ineligible for financial aid because PACE is below the required 67% completion rate.
- Students must receive a satisfactory grade in the courses they attempt each semester. Satisfactory grades are: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, S, SP, or P.
- Unsatisfactory grades are: F, W, WF, U, or I.
NOTE: Unsatisfactory grades will not be counted as earned credit hours but will be counted as attempted hours.
- Audits do not count as attempted hours and are not eligible for financial aid.
- On-campus, off-campus, distance education, telecommunications, television and web-based courses are considered in total attempted hours.
- Late notification of grade change will result in a recalculation of SAP status upon student request.
- Students may receive aid for up to 30 credit hours of Learning Support Coursework.
- Teacher certification or recertification in the state where the student plans to teach may only receive financial aid for the required courses for the recertification.
- Graduate Non-Degree (UDEG) students are eligible for federal financial aid for a maximum of one calendar year if they are enrolled in pre-requisite courses that are necessary to enter into a graduate program.
- Undergraduate and graduate students who have attempted 150% of the required hours for their degree are ineligible for financial aid.
- Transfer Hours officially accepted by ETSU are included in the MAXHRS.
- Repeated course credits will be counted toward MAXHRS. Students may repeat a previously passed course once but may repeat a failed or dropped class until it is passed or until the student is no longer making satisfactory progress.
- Incompletes and withdrawals are included in MAXHRS.
- Change of major --students who change their major must complete their new program of study within the 150% time frame. Changing majors may lead to not completing degree requirements within the maximum time frame.
- Academic Fresh Start students will have to resolve any prior financial aid holds. All Academic Fresh Start
courses must be included in total attempted hours. Maximum credit hour eligibility
of 150% still applies.
Maximum timeframe is measured at the end of each semester. A student is ineligible at the point where he/ she will exceed the maximum time frame; NOT at the point they actually reach MAXHRS.
Example: At the end of the semester (evaluation point) the student has attempted 160 credit hours out a possible 180 credit hours allowed under the maximum timeframe but still has 25 hours left to earn a degree. The student is not meeting SAP due to exceeding the MAXHRS because he has more hours to earn than what is allowed to graduate within the maximum time frame.
- Nonattendance - the hours for which a student registers but never attends will be counted towards MAXHRS.
SECOND DEGREE -- A second degree student is defined as a student with a previous degree at the same classification, either graduate or undergraduate.
- Second undergraduate – The maximum time frame allowable for financial aid eligibility is 150% of the hours needed to complete the first degree, plus up to 100% of hours required to complete the second degree as defined by advisor.
- Second graduate – The maximum time frame allowable for financial aid eligibility is 150% of the hours needed to complete the first degree, plus up to 100% of hours required to complete the second degree as defined by advisor.
- Financial Aid Warning – Students will be placed on financial aid warning the first time they do not comply with the GPA and/or PACE standards. The student may receive financial aid for one semester while on warning status. The student's status will be evaluated after the "warning" term and must meet all required SAP standards by the end of the following term to continue on aid.
- Financial Aid Suspension – Students are placed on financial aid suspension for any of the following reasons:
- Students in "warning" status fail to meet SAP according to the standards set above in their next semester of enrollment;
- Students who do not fulfill the requirements in their academic plan;
- Students who meet the Maximum time frame limitations.
- Financial Aid Probation – Students are placed on Financial Aid Probation when they have appealed a Financial Aid Suspension and the appeal has been approved. A student on Financial Aid Probation may receive financial aid for additional semesters as long as requirements stipulated in the approval are met each semester or as long as the student is meeting requirements in the academic plan.
- Denial– Students whose appeal was reviewed and denied are ineligible to receive any financial aid until they reestablish eligibility on their own.
Students will be notified of their status (Financial Aid Warning, Suspension, Probation and/or Denial) by email at their ETSU email address.
Students may reestablish eligibility for financial assistance on their own by achieving the satisfactory academic progress standards at their own expense. Once the student has earned the required GPA and/or required credit hours, they must contact the Office of Financial Aid to request reinstatement of their financial aid. EXCEPTION: A student who has met the maximum time frame limitations MUST appeal and be approved to continue on aid.
Students who lose eligibility for financial aid can appeal that decision to the Office of Financial Aid. Petitions are reviewed by committee according to the Appeals Committee Meeting Schedule, which can be found below. Once a decision has been reached on your appeal you will be sent written notice of the decision to your ETSU email. Appeals will be considered for mitigating circumstances such as:
- Serious illness or accident on the part of the student;
- Death, accident, or serious illness in the immediate family;
- Other documented extenuating circumstances.

Students will be notified of appeal decision via ETSU email account.
If enrolled in Summer Classes, appeals for Fall will not be reviewed until grades for Summer have been posted and rolled into a student's academic history.
Appeals received after the above dates will not be reviewed until the next scheduled meeting. Students may need to be prepared to pay registration fees. If the appeal is approved after the semester begins, the student will be considered for financial aid, if otherwise eligible.
Steps to file an appeal:
- Complete and submit the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form to the Office of Financial Aid by the Appeal Committee Submission Deadline;
- Attach a detailed, signed, dated statement outlining the extenuating circumstances that resulted in unsatisfactory progress; and
- Include a signed and dated statement explaining what has changed that will allow academic success during the next period of enrollment.
- Attach appropriate documentation to support the circumstances outlined in the appeal. Documentation may include, but are not limited to, a physician's signed statement on official letterhead, copy of death certificate, accident report, and medical reports/records.
- Page #3 of the Academic Plan section of the Maximum Time appeal form must be completed, signed, and dated by an advisor.
Federal regulations allow for approval of appeals only under the following conditions:
- It has been determined that the student will be able to meet SAP standards after the subsequent term.
- An academic plan is developed for the student that, if followed, will ensure that the student is able to meet SAP standards by a specific point in time.
All appeals will be reviewed by the Appeals Committee in accordance to the meeting schedule, which can be found at https://www.etsu.edu/finaid/forms/appeals-committee.php. Appeals with insufficient supporting documentation will be denied. Committee decisions are final and not appealable. However, if students wish to provide additional documentation for review a new appeal form is required along with a new signed, dated statement and the additional documentation.
Students that have an appeal approved must meet SAP standards by the end of the next enrollment period; or be placed on an academic plan to ensure standards are met by a specific point in time.
Students that have an appeal denied remain on financial aid suspension and are ineligible to receive financial aid.

Board Problem
A grade line AB having a slope of +5% intersect another grade line BC having a slope of –3% at B. The elevations of points A, B and C are 95 m, 100 m and 97 m respectively. Determine the elevation of the summit of the 100 m parabolic vertical curve to connect the grade lines.
A descending grade of 6% and an ascending grade of 2% intersect at Sta 12 + 200 km whose elevation is at 14.375 m. The two grades are to be connected by a parabolic curve, 160 m long. Find the elevation of the first quarter point on the curve.
A grade of -4.2% grade intersects a grade of +3.0% at Station 11 + 488.00 of elevations 20.80 meters. These two center gradelines are to be connected by a 260 meter vertical parabolic curve.
Vertical Parabolic Curve
Vertical curves are used to provide gradual change between two adjacent vertical grade lines. The curve used to connect the two adjacent grades is parabola. Parabola offers smooth transition because its second derivative is constant. For a downward parabola with vertex at the origin, the standard equation is

Jefferson Avenue: Stories from a Brooklyn Boyhood 1941-1958
Paperback edition available from CreateSpace
(The fastest and most author-friendly way to buy!)
Paperback edition available from Amazon
Criminologist James M. O'Kane traces his lifelong fascination with the urban world to the gypsies, gangsters, and priests of his boyhood in post-World War II Brooklyn. In this vivid memoir he details what his Irish immigrant family faced and what kept them strong. Jefferson Avenue evokes an important era in the American story and points to what was lost in the move to the suburbs.
Word on the street about Jefferson Avenue
"Jim O'Kane's memoir reminds me of Angela's Ashes. Both celebrate the pleasures and pains of a postwar childhood in a vibrant neighborhood of Brooklyn. Both detail its dangers while reminding us of the survival skills we developed as we groped our way to and through adolescence. Anyone who lived in such a time and place will recognize the stresses of daily life and how we overcame them and even prevailed. Anyone who did not will feel relieved and yet envious."
—Robert Lynch
Professor Emeritus, New Jersey Institute of Technology
"O'Kane writes for his grandchildren and for ours about cherished lost times on the streets of Brooklyn. In the pages of this book the old will remember and the young will learn. Change a few details and you will find your own childhood and adolescence. You will walk with the author as he unfolds a story full of humor, mischief, and poignancy."
—James J. Gray Ph.D
Professor of Psychology, American University
"Jefferson Avenue: Stories from a Brooklyn Boyhood is a folksy and fascinating story of life in a simpler time when Dr. Jim O'Kane and his peers developed lifelong relationships and street smarts while growing up in Brooklyn in the '40s and '50s. With almost thirty years of experience in a variety of legal roles, I still rely on humane lessons learned while sitting on the edge of my seat in Dr. O'Kane's classroom at Drew University. They remind me that defendants, police, and probation officers are also individuals entitled to the respect and decency that all of us deserve as participants in the New Jersey Criminal Justice System."
—Andrew M. Baron, Esq.
Managing Partner, Kochanski, Baron & Galfy
Rahway, New Jersey
"These pages open a window to a time before New York City's current renaissance — a time when people defined themselves primarily by their ethnicity and misunderstanding fueled distrust, stereotyping, and even violence. Most Brooklyn residents of today would not recognize this portrait of their beloved borough sixty years ago and might even be appalled. But James O'Kane experienced it firsthand and recounts what it was like to grow up in that world. He weaves some charming stories of youth to which we can all relate while preserving the uniqueness of coming of age in a city where diverse ethnic groups were still growing accustomed to living in close quarters."
—Mark Young
New York City Resident and Brooklyn native

Are you ready to meet your robot physician? Over the past several years, the biggest names in tech, joined by a surge of startups, have made large strides in developing algorithms that can diagnose and predict disease and advise doctors on treatments. Despite some notable setbacks (including a costly failed collaboration between IBM's Watson Health initiative and MD Anderson Cancer Center), investment in AI health companies has soared, and FDA approvals for new AI health applications have sped up dramatically, thanks in part to the agency's fast-track initiative. Here, a view of the competitive landscape.

Lip Fillers: The Perfect Pout
August 3, 2018
Thanks to celebrities like Kylie Jenner, lip fillers have become well-known as the holy grail to attaining a plump, perfect pout. Whether you have thin lips, age-related thinning lips, or just think lip augmentation would help you achieve your best appearance, knowledge is power in the realm of lip enhancement.
Lip Fillers: The Basics You Need to Know
Lip fillers are:
- Safe (when administered by a qualified, highly-skilled doctor)
- Powerful for increasing the symmetry and fullness of thin lips
- Effective at restoring volume to age-related thinning lips
- Ideal for improving the profile, smoothness, and definition of lips
- Perfect for creating more flattering, shapely lips
- Impressive at increasing overall facial symmetry, a key to reaching peak beauty
- Derived from pure hyaluronic acid, something our bodies produce naturally
- Sustainable – regular application prevents reversion to thin lips
Lip Fillers: Eliminating Unnecessary Risk
We've all seen horror stories of 'trout pout' when lip fillers are administered by someone lacking the credentials and skill to do the best, safest job. This is one reason why you should only go to a medical doctor for lip fillers. The botched results from an unqualified provider will require a doctor to fix them. Save yourself the pain, upset, and extra costs associated: Only go to a highly-skilled, qualified medical doctor for lip fillers. (No, a dentist doesn't count.) You should always be treated as a patient, not a customer.
The Perfect Pout, No Exaggeration
Most of us are familiar with the over-the-top look favoured by some celebrities and Instagram personalities. While this can certainly be attractive, what you might not realise is that the most expertly fillers don't stand out as obviously augmented. So while you might notice a woman's full lips and perfect pout, you won't necessarily know that she's had fillers when the look is more natural and less OTT.
But many women are seeking the pillowy pout they admire on Kylie Jenner or Angelina Jolie. Even this plump, full look will have to be personalised for your unique facial structure. Cut and paste works perfectly for writing documents, but not for helping you achieve your very best look!
Again, a qualified medical doctor will ensure you never end up with cartoon-like lips that will prevent you from reaching your peak attractiveness. Bespoke is best, and you should settle for nothing less.
More Natural Than You Might Think
Lips are filled with injections of pure hyaluronic acid. This substance occurs naturally in our bodies and can hold 1000 times its weight in water – making it ideal for plumping and defining your lips. Because hyaluronic acid is a material produced by our own bodies, lip injections do not cause allergic reactions.
Immediate, Lasting Results
Lip fillers start working immediately. While you may experience slight swelling in the initial hours after your injections, this is natural. It will subside within 12 hours. Again, as the fillers are comprised of pure hyaluronic acid – something your body is very familiar with, as it produces this substance itself – allergic reactions are not a risk factor. You can expect the results of high-quality, medically-administered lip fillers to last from six months to one year.
Ongoing Results: Collagen Supercharge
Lip fillers are collagen progenitors, meaning they stimulate your body's production of this key component to youthful, voluminous skin. Collagen is a protein that makes lips (and all skin) firm and supple. Unfortunately, the body produces less collagen the older we get. Add a lifetime of sun exposure and you get sagging, wrinkled lips. Lip fillers not only give ageing lips a boost of volume and definition, plumping them from within – they also kickstart a higher level of collagen production in your body.

I believe I can only recommend hotels I've been to, so that's why this list is limited. Some hotels may look expensive but the trick is: go to the website and look for offers or inspect the calendar and search for cheap nights (like Sunday nights or in 'dead' periods like the beginning of February).
I can recommend Airbnb, which is an online community marketplace for people to list and book accommodations around the world. I've tried Airbnb twice in London and I had a lovely experience! I've used the service before to visit NY, Lisbon, Budapest, Italy and Croatia and I've never had any problems. For London it takes some time to look for a nice place on a good location which isn't expensive. Always check what's included in the price and read the reviews!
As an appartment I can also recommend Urban Villa, which I describe below. They call themselve 'no ordinary hotel', so that's why I've put it with 'hotels'.
The Hoxton, Shoreditch
81 Great Eastern Street
London EC2A 3HU
θ Old Street
Loveable because of the soft beds and cosy design.
My favourite hotel in London, even in the world! Do you need more information? Design hotel in trendy Shoreditch with spacious rooms -small sofa incl.- and a separate (spacious) bath room with rain shower. Very friendly staff! You get your breakfast delivered in a paper bag to your room in the morning. This might be a small disadvantage to some people: the breakfast you get is limited. But if you want a croissant or something else; there is an EAT and Prêt à Manger only 2 minutes away, The Attendant is accross the door and The Hoxton also has a lovely restaurant downstairs.

One of the most beautiful hotels in London according to me. Very stylish and contemporary. Beds are kingsize (2 x 2m) and you have a tablet to control the lights, tv and curtains. Rain shower in your room as well.

Urban Villa

Loveable because it's no ordinary hotel.
It's Brentford, so you're not in central London, but it's still the real London experience. Because London is more than the Big Ben, you know! The rooms are 'villas', so in fact you choose a studio or an appartment, which gives you a real at home feeling. Beautiful design and stunning view. One of my favourites.

7-19 Amhurst Road
London E8 1JW
θ Hackney Central (overground)
Loveable because of the nice black and white interior.
"We don't think that a stylish, comfortable hotel bed should cost the earth." This is what this hotel stands for and I totally agree. Location is good (next to Hackney Central) and it's everything you need, but I would only recommend it if prices are low. Rooms are rather small (go for Kip Medium as a double room) and the entrance is a bit weird. They share the building with another hotel, so you have to ring the bell to enter. Reception is on the first floor with friendly young staff. They have all sorts of rooms: studios, single rooms, double rooms and family/friends rooms.

Loveable because it's in Hackney.
Just outside the touristic centre in the alternative and the creative eastern part of London. The rooms are quite basic but they have a modern design (open since 2008).

Visiting the Seven Sisters Cliffs
Living in the city can be overwhelming at times, even for city-lovers like myself. In London, the simple cure to all woes is a trip to the English countryside. This past weekend, my friends and I spent the day at The Seven Sisters in Sussex. It's easy as pie to get there, so read on to find out how you can experience these beautiful coastal cliffs too!
Getting there
Purchase a ticket from London Blackfriars or Victoria to Brighton using Trainline. You can use Trainline's mobile app to download the tickets, or pick them up from a machine at the station using your confirmation code. I'd definitely suggest getting an early start so you have the morning to explore the colorful city of Brighton before heading to the cliffs.
Breakfast at Oseta Cafe
Brighton has an abundance of adorable cafes, so definitely save your appetite for a delicious breakfast. Oseta Cafe is a quaint restaurant located just 10 minutes from the train station. Located off of the main drag, it's a hidden gem that won't be buzzing with tourists, even on a weekend! I had a delicious latte, and an egg sandwich. I'm still dreaming of the soft bread and crispy bacon… yummy!
how to get to the seven sisters
After you've nourished your soul with a delicious meal, it's time to head out to the cliffs. Pick up bus passes from 1 Stop Travel, which is located at 26 North Street. You'll only have to pay five pounds for a full day pass!
Across the street from 1 Stop Travel, you'll find North Street – Stop C. Take bus 12X for the quickest journey. I definitely suggest snagging a seat on the second floor of the double decker bus! If you can stay awake along the 55 minute journey, you'll take in the sights of enchanting coastal towns and pastoral landscapes. Hop out at the Seven Sisters Visitor Centre stop.
time to hike
The best way to experience The Seven Sisters on a day-trip is to take the 1.5 hour loop around the east side. You won't be hiking on top of them, but the views from the beach below are incredible. The water is a ridiculous shade of turquoise, especially on a sunny day! Begin your journey on the trail right next to the Cuckmere Inn.
Saltmarsh Farmhouse
After you've finished taking in the beautiful sights of the chalk cliffs, and made some cow friends along the trail back to the main road, take some time to unwind before heading back to Brighton. The Saltmarsh Farmhouse is a charming little cafe situated beside the Visitor's Centre. Treat yourself to a scone with clotted cream and jam, and a pot of steaming hot tea.
(Pro-tip: Make sure to use the toilet inside the restaurant, as the public one around the corner is, shall we say, not in the best shape).
Returning to Brighton
To return back to Brighton, hop back on board the bus at either the Seven Sisters Visitor Centre Stop, or the Cuckmere Inn. If you have any energy left, get out at the Sea Life Centre stop to explore the Brighton Palace Pier, or check out the shopping at The Lanes.
Thanks for reading! I hope this helps you plan an enjoyable trip to the Seven Sisters Cliffs.

Update 4.26pm: The Government Minister charged with overseeing Ireland's new plan to combat climate change has declared it a moral necessity.
More than 100 initiatives are proposed to reduce emissions, including cutting the speed limit on motorways from 120km/h to 110km/h and finding cleaner replacement fuel for Moneypoint power station.
Denis Naughten, Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, said it was the first step in getting all of government to address the issue of greenhouse gases.
"As a country, we are playing catch-up on our obligations in relation to climate change," he said.
"This obligation is as much an opportunity as an obligation. In any event, it is a moral necessity and a vital national interest."
The National Mitigation Plan includes a considerable number of reviews over the next few years, such as one on the future of peat power plants and another setting out what subsidies are given for fossil fuels.
It has a goal for all new cars to be zero emission in 2030, that the Dart line can be extended to Balbriggan by 2022 and that HGV speed limits could be reduced to 80km/h.
It recommends 14 compressed natural gas refuelling stations be set up and a grant scheme for electric vehicles by 2020.
Retrofitting of homes is also an important factor in energy efficiency, with a special scheme to see 1,500 properties upgraded, while landlords will come under pressure next year to have minimum thermal standards.
Guidelines on wind energy are to be finalised next year while Government planners are also being asked to consider approaches to integrated policy that would reduce travel demand and encourage more walking, cycling and public transport and more efficient and cleaner transport.
The plan asks for analysis of suitable reservoirs for carbon storage, more support for biomass and a review of how farming can be improved.
Mr Naughten said: "On climate change, change is possible. Our role is to put the levers for change into peoples' hands.
"This is our work at home, while abroad we stand firm in our commitment to the Paris Agreement. Energy efficiency is central to this plan. This is because using less energy and using it more efficiently is the most cost-effective and accessible way to tackle climate change."
The plan has drawn criticism from environmental groups however, with Friends of the Earth Fdrector, Oisin Coghlan saying: "The bottom line is that this plan fails the fundamental test of a climate action plan, it doesn't say how much pollution will be reduced as a result of the actions it lists.
"Perhaps because too many of them are still 'under consideration'.
"A half decent plan - like the last plan 10 years ago - would identify the emissions pathway we are on now, list the measures we are now going to take to reduce emissions, and state how much lower emissions will be as as result of all the measures in the plan.
"This document just doesn't to that."
Environmental campaigners have expressed disappointment with the government's new blueprint for tackling climate change.
The new National Mitigation Strategy includes 106 proposals which are aimed at lowering carbon emissions in line with global targets.
The plan includes a review of subsidies offered for fossil fuels, and commitments to invest in public transport fleets.
But groups like Friends of the Earth say there's no new concrete actions in today's plan.
Director Oisin Coghlan has hit out at he fact the government can't say exactly what effect its own proposals will have.
Opposition TDs have also hit out at the plan.
People Before Profit TD Brid Smith said teh whoil epackage wa snot goo denoiugh.
"By 2020 we will have failed to meet our European targets ... it will work our more expensive and damaging for environment unless we step up to the plate and make some radical changes."

Background:Savai'i, the largest and highest of the Samoan islands, consists of a massive basaltic shield volcano constructed along a WNW-ESE-trending rift zone that splits into two rifts on the east side of the 75-km-long, oval-shaped island. Pliocene and Pleistocene shield formation was followed by stream and marine erosion, partial submergence, and growth of coral reefs. Late-stage Pleistocene and Holocene eruptions produced voluminous lava flows that partially buried fringing reefs. Numerous cinder cones and lava cones dot the broad crest of Savai'i, which has a low-angle, dome-like profile and reaches an elevation of 1858 m. Additional cones occur on the north-central flank, and a large number are found in the south-central part of the island. Three eruptions, including two in the 20th century, occurred in historical time, and produced voluminous lava flows that reached the northern coast along broad fronts up to about 15 km wide, destroying several villages and overtopping fringing reefs.

2018's China's largest flash summit (CFMS 2018) was grandly opened on September 19th at the InterContinental Shenzhen OCT. Longsys was once again invited to bring the new product lineup to the summit.
Looking back at the 2017 CFMS Summit, Longsys announced that it has completed the acquisition of Lexar, a high-end storage brand with more than 20 years of storage product development and design experience, which has led to positive response in the storage industry. This also marks the official launch of Longsys' upgrade from a technology-based product company to a technology-based brand company.
Gathering again after a year, Mr. Cai Huabo, Chairman of Longsys Group, was invited as a speaker to share [Longsys Storage Technology and Brand] with the guests, and deeply interpreted the innovation and development, challenges and opportunities of Longsys in the past year. Longsys is aiming at adopting high quality, high performance and innovative services to create a dynamic storage brand.
Longsys now has two major storage brands, Lexar, a storage brand focused on high-end consumer area, and FORESEE, a storage brand that is deeply rooted in the industry application.
Lexar is a professional mobile storage brand that focusing on the global market, the company has continued to increase its R&D efforts since its acquisition. In addition to continuing the comprehensive solutions (including 1800X/1000X/633X microSD) that are rare seen from other companies in the mobile storage market, it released the industry's only 512GB microSD that supports the V30/A2 earlier this year. And at this summit, Lexar brought us the industry's largest 1TB SD and 1TB microSD products. Meanwhile, combined with the advantages of Longsys' own technology and services, Lexar will also release a full range of SSD products to expand the brand application field to cover more application needs.
Deeply cultivating in industry applications, the FORESEE brand currently has three product lines: solid state drive storage, embedded storage and micro storage. Since its founding in 2011, the FORESEE brand has been in the industry for seven years and serves hundreds of industry customers. FORESEE has a high-performance, high-stability, cost-effective storage solution that provides an efficient and comprehensive service system to meet industry-level, vehicle-level, custom-level storage needs and applications in complex scenarios. At the summit, the FORESEE brand made its 1TB product family debut, including the world's first 1TB PCIe BGA SSD and 1TB eUFS, leading the storage industry into the TB high-capacity era.
Longsys adopts an all-round penetration and innovative service model to create its high quality, high performance and consummate service image, and promotes Longsys' brand transformation.
DMS(Design、Module、Service)featured service system
Longsys providing high-end customized services based on customer needs through product development and storage technology IP module. At the same time, Longsys opening cooperation, establishing joint laboratories, sharing resources, and working together with customers.

Samer Daboul's "Out Loud" bills itself as the first gay film from Lebanon. Six rebellious young idealists break all the social and religious rules and decide to live communally. In hot pursuit are the relatives of the two who are gay, Rami (Ali Rhayem) and Ziad (Jean Kobrously), closeted lovers who were caught kissing and are marked for death for having brought shame to their families.
The friends settle in the remote cottage of the free-spirited Nathalie (Eliane Kerdy), whom they met on the Internet. They all marry in a group wedding, with everyone vowing eternal love and loyalty. There are some rudimentary musical comedy numbers. Then tragedy strikes.
During the making of the movie, the cast and crew encountered serious harassment. Protesters against gay and women's rights so disrupted the production that military protection was required to complete filming, and postproduction was moved to the United States.
That the movie exists at all attests to the courage of the participants to see it through to the end. "Out Loud" bleeds with sincerity.

Toyota Australia's digital transformation journey
"With its manufacturing operating ending in October, the company is preparing for a rebirth says CIO Ellis Brover."
CIO.com.au recently posted a profile on Ellis Brover, CIO of Toyota Motor Corporation, detailing some of the reasons why Toyota made the decision to 'down tools' at its Altona plant.
The organisation is asking themselves questions like: "What we're doing essentially is working out which parts of that experience we believe are really unique to Toyota and need to be a particular way to make us the best. How do we make sure those things, that are delivered through systems that we're providing or that we're controlling, interface seamlessly to the back-end systems the dealerships are using?"
David Cox, CX Director of IE commented on the above: "It is crucial to evaluate what tasks a user is trying to complete during the purchase journey, with a deep empathy for both their emotional and rational state. Brands like Lexus know each and every touchpoint, from awareness to delivery of the car, is an opportunity to elevate the experience and affinity between brand and customer."
With the rise in digital and physical becoming intertwined for brands to create experiences, Toyota is best positioning itself to be ahead of the curve by implementing digital transformation company wide.
Described in the article as "The (new) Toyota Way" it's said the company will be expanding it's IT functions, a great move in embracing technological advancements in the industry. IE is proud to be part of this journey in 2017.

The customer service provided by the guys is second to none. I would definitely use the Converge system on future projects and recommend it to fellow engineering professionals.
The results are displayed in a graphical format which is clear and easy to interpret. The data is updated in real-time which is very useful, as is the facility to send text alerts when a set concrete strength is reached.
I have to say that the level of professionalism has been truly outstanding. One area I feel they excel in is Customer Service. Unlike a lot of businesses Converge are there for you every step of the way.
We went from a 7 day cycle per floor to a 5 day cycle based solely on the data that
Converge provided. The client requested a closed tender on a similar project due to these results.

The publication of this fourth edition, more than ten years on from the publication of Radiation Therapy Physics third edition, provides a comprehensive and valuable update to the educational offerings in this field. Led by a new team of highly esteemed authors, building on Dr Hendee s tradition, Hendee s Radiation Therapy Physics offers a succinctly written, fully modernised update.
Radiation physics has undergone many changes in the past ten years: intensity–modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has become a routine method of radiation treatment delivery, digital imaging has replaced film–screen imaging for localization and verification, image–guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is frequently used, in many centers proton therapy has become a viable mode of radiation therapy, new approaches have been introduced to radiation therapy quality assurance and safety that focus more on process analysis rather than specific performance testing, and the explosion in patient–and machine–related data has necessitated an increased awareness of the role of informatics in radiation therapy. As such, this edition reflects the huge advances made over the last ten years. This book:
- Provides state of the art content throughout
- Contains four brand new chapters; image–guided therapy, proton radiation therapy, radiation therapy informatics, and quality and safety improvement
- Fully revised and expanded imaging chapter discusses the increased role of digital imaging and computed tomography (CT) simulation
- The chapter on quality and safety contains content in support of new residency training requirements
- Includes problem and answer sets for self–test
This edition is essential reading for radiation oncologists in training, students of medical physics, medical dosimetry, and anyone interested in radiation therapy physics, quality, and safety.
Praise for earlier editions:
"...an excellent introduction to undergraduate physics students and radiation oncology residents involved in education programs..." (Health Physics, September 2005)
"The breadth is impressive, and students would have every opportunity to meet the stated objective of attaining ′a solid foundation in the physics of radiation therapy.′" (Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Spring 2005)
"This well written book will be an excellent primary textbook as well as reference resource in the library of anyone practicing in the field of radiation therapy." (Doody′s Health Services)
"The authors are to be congratulated for their diligent effort in producing such a valuable work." (Medical Physics, February 2005)

"The newly published fourth edition of Hendee s Radiation Therapy Physics (Authors: Todd Pawlicki, Daniel J. Scanderbeg, George Starkschall) provides an updated overview, analysis and practical guidance of the various aspects of the radiation therapy physics. Published ten years after the publication of the third edition, this book reviews all newly introduced modalities and approaches in
Radiation therapy – intensity–modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image–guided radiation therapy (IGRT), digital imaging, CT simulation, proton therapy, radiation therapy informatics. An important part of the book is the focus on the professional approaches in radiation protection, patient safety, quality assurance, quality improvement and even training for residents. The book is written by experts in the field all three authors are well known professionals working in the field of Radiation Physics and Radiation Medicine. Throughout this book the reader finds scientific, educational and practical information from the very basics of radiation physics to the latest achievements in the field of Radiation Therapy. Each chapter is well structured, giving a good balance between the theoretical and practical aspects. The appendix is dedicated to solving practical problems and provides professional advice, as well as self–tests......This book is both an excellent reference which will be useful in all medical physics departments and at the same time a perfect guidance material for professionals in related specialties. It continues very well the line set by Prof. William Hendee (past IOMP ExCom member). The Content and Structure of the book are excellent. These are really necessary for a book with such coverage and volume. Thefourth edition of Hendee s Radiation Therapy Physics is yet another fundamental book that will be very useful reference for various specialists for many years

Although Gratis and Liza Boyd were the two to capture the 3'3" Young Hunter championship during Week 3 of the Winter Equestrian Festival, January 24-28, they had a true team behind them.
Owner Karen Lackinger's 6-year-old Hanoverian (Grey Top--Akazie) swept all four over fences classes and placed second under saddle for a convincing championship title.
"I'm really proud of how far he's come along. This time last year he'd never shown," said Liza. "We worked a lot at home last year, and he showed in the Baby Greens last spring before ending the year in the 3' Green Hunters."
Liza noted that Gratis was a little scared about the Jumbotron in the adjacent ring at WEF, but she was careful in the schooling area to help calm his fears and reassure him.
"I did have to change my plan in the schooling ring," she noted. "I didn't make it a big deal, though. Rather than walking him over to see it and face toward it, I bent him away from it when I was flatting. The more he looked at it, the more tense and nervous he would get."
Instead, Liza decided to work to avoid the Jumbotron altogether and only jumped Gratis off the right lead, where he wouldn't have to face the moving screen.
With that plan in place, Liza said he retained his focus and she was able to get some quality, round jumps in the schooling area that obviously translated well in the show ring, where he won every jumping class.
"I've learned over the years it's best to distract them and keep them busy doing something else," she said of the green horses. "I like to change the subject, and if it wasn't a moving object maybe I'd have a different strategy. But it's really unnatural for a horse to see what's basically a huge TV."
Liza is also appreciative of having Gratis to bring up the levels. "Karen Lackinger lives in Aiken, South Carolina, and is a wonderful owner and supporter," noted Liza. "She bought Gratis herself and hopes to bring him along as a Derby horse, and he showed me a lot of a good characteristics of a derby horse here. For him to come through that challenge without a meltdown and go on and compete like he did showed his bravery.
"He's also growing into his body, and I felt some jumps where he pushed well and is getting stronger behind. It's very exciting to start a horse from scratch to be a derby horse," she added. "I can't remember the last time I've had a horse just for me to produce. We've developed a bond, and he's very trusting. And since I was the first one to ever show him, I know everything that's happened and that he's done, so that's fun!"
Liza also credited Finally Farm Assistant Trainer Katie Wood for her integral role in preparing Gratis and the other horses this winter.
"Katie is amazing behind the scenes," noted Liza. "With S&L Just A Cobbler, I have to work on fitness. So she takes him on a four-mile trotting trail ride. I have no idea where she goes, but then she'll say, 'I'm going to do a shorter trail ride, so I'll do a nice walk.' She takes the horses out in the mornings and then brings them different ways home.
"I'm seeing a big difference in my horses from all of the exposure they're getting to the different sights. If there's an issue, like a big flock of white birds, Katie never gets mad and makes everything a good experience for them. Clemens has been nervous about rain and walking over puddles (I lost a big class at Blowing Rock because of that), but she's been taking him out and encouraging him to go through water. She has a real talent for that natural type of horsemanship, and I've noticed it's helping me in the show ring. She keeps the horses happy, and she takes the kids out with her, so she's involving everyone. It's been fantastic!"

The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) and the UN Volunteers (UNV) ran a fullday workshop for myself and a dozen other young people involved in disaster management on Mobilizing Youth Volunteerism for Disaster Risk Reduction. This workshop was designed to bring together interested youth to explore new and strengthen existing partnership between young people and stakeholders, discuss increasing acknowledgment of young volunteers in DRR, and provide a space to create innovative ideas.
I really enjoyed meeting people involved in disaster response from Tonga and Fiji and talking to the UNISDR staff. The UNISDR and UNV representatives were very motivated to empower young people to develop and implement DRR projects within the Pacific region.
In discussing current work addressing disasters in the pacific, it seems as though most initiatives are targeted at disaster response, not disaster risk reduction. Both Fiji and Tonga have strong training in place for disaster response, and are able to tap into existing youth council networks to train young leaders. An often-quoted figure is that for every $1 invested in disaster risk reduction, $7 of disaster response is saved, so it would be great to see some disaster risk reduction projects take shape.
As action points from this workshop we discussed increasing access for young people to attend conferences such as these, and working to increase disaster preparedness by educating youth and children, both areas that I am quite passionate about, so I am really looking forward to what will develop from this session.

At least 15 persons were injured, two of them seriously, in a grenade blast tonight at the busy Paltan Bazar area near the railway station here, the fifth such incident in the state in a week.
The blast, suspected to be a handiwork of the banned ULFA, took place when police was checking vehicles near the station at G S Road. The injured include two police home guard personnel.
"The blast took place at 7:55 pm near the Paltan Bazar police station, which is next to the railway station... We have to investigate who did this, but inputs say it is ULFA," Kamrup (Metro) Deputy Commissioner Ashutosh Agnihotri told reporters on the spot.
"15 persons were injured. Of them, two are serious. All the injured have been taken to GMC Hospital," Agnihotri said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi condemned the incident and asked the district administration to identify the culprits and take necessary action.
This is the fifth such incident in the state in last seven days. ULFA militants normally try to create trouble during the run-up to the Independence Day.
Last week, six persons were injured in a grenade blast at a busy market area in Bokolia town in Karbi Anglong district.
Suspected anti-talk ULFA faction triggered three serial grenade blasts in Lakhimpur district, injuring five persons in the high security Deputy Commissioner Court road, jail Road and Chawlkhowa areas.
Following these, many districts tightened the security and took precautionary measures. Prohibitory orders were clamped in many districts with immediate effect.
Police has already arrested four persons, including an ULFA cadre and three surrendered members of the outfit, in connection with the Lakhimpur incident. Another militant, who was given the task to carry out a blast in Dibrugarh has surrendered.
Gogoi had yesterday said the strength of ULFA has declined and security forces have foiled many of their attempts.
The banned organisation had observed its annual 'Martyr's Day' on Saturday.
Stating that the government has alerted all districts to keep a strict vigil, Gogoi had accused the banned outfit of getting help from "more than one country" to destabilise peace and development in the state.

It's 2018
Happy New Year!
It's truly amazing how fast this year has gone and I when I look at this image it seems crazy that I made so many things. I've virtually created a brand new (but vintage inspired) wardrobe. It's been so fun making things for myself and a long time coming. I haven't really done anything like this since High School. Since then, sewing has meant mostly business - pattern making, fashion education and custom design work with a little bit of sewing for the home or for friends on the side.
People used to ask me, ALL THE TIME, if I sewed for myself, and I sheepishly said no, FOR YEARS. No so, for 2017. It all started by having a goal of attracting more adult students with my BLOG. So that meant i needed to have content. I wanted some new clothes, so why not start blogging about that? I'm an adult and I sew. And next thing you know, I've created 50 blog posts, mostly about clothing I've made, and mostly about this vintage style that's inspired me to create a whole new look for myself.
But my favorite part of all this sewing has been rediscovering the JOY that comes with the empowerment of CREATING that whole new look and SHARING it with others. Some of the Vintage Fashion & Sewing Blogger's that I follow have really inspired me to branch off in new directions this year, make/take better photos of my projects and encouraged me personally. The resources, inspiration & encouragement have been particularly helpful, so I want to send a great big Thank You to Cate over at Vintage Gal Blog, Tanya over at the Mrs. Hughes, Chuleenan from CSews , Emileigh at the Flashback Summer Blog, and Instagram faves @frolickingfrocks, @duchessofhutch, @makethislook, @mariabordoysbourdoir , @AmericanDuchess and also all the contributors to the We Sew Retro Blog, where I post some of my projects. Yay! to you all! Oh, and I don't want to forget my favorite place to buy vintage repro patterns - Vintage Pattern Lending Library. Thank you to Dierdre for reproducing some of the best ones!
Here are a few of my favorite looks from this year:
This one is my "Vintage Inspired Professional" look -
Blouse - Colette Patterns - Sencha Top. I've made 4 of these this year, one of which sadly got washed and shrunk and kept snagging. It was a pain in the butt, but I liked the print a lot so that was a bit of a bummer. There is a solid white rayon crepe version and also a greenish-teal jacquard version, both of which I like equally. This one, by far, is the most successful in my opinion. The plaid on the bias adds a whimsy and makes it really fun.
Pencil Skirt - made from the Little Black Dress Book by Dolin O'Shea from a pink wool tweed that my friend Kelley Flynn gave to me. She is an interior designer and it's left over from a project. I could really use about 8 if these in different colors.
These two dresses were made from the same pattern - VPLL - 1931 Ladies Dress With Asymmetrical Detailing - Reproduction Sewing Pattern #T6617 with a few detail changes that you can see in the two different posts (see links above) I created for these styles.
I actually adore the first prototype (right) photo and am excited to wear it to an upcoming party with a vintage hat I purchased this year and a velvet coat that was gifted to me. I've yet to wear it out in public. The floral version is equally as pretty but certainly gives off a more casual look which was totally appropriate for The Gatsby Summer Afternoon.
My Chanel Style Couture French Jacket
Well this one took over 5 years to complete, but I really buckled down to finish it this year and wear it quite often. I started with a Quick Sew Pattern and altered it to fit my figure and the style lines I wanted. Maybe next time I'll try the Claire Shaeffer or Susan Khalje patterns instead. We shall see.
I'm extremely proud of this one on many levels, but mostly because it was the biggest UFO in my list of things to finish. And guess what? Now I have a gorgeous black jacket to throw on at any given time. Yay!
These 3 blouses have really served me well this year especially the blue, orange and white paisley version, pictured in the center. This was my first real foray into the Miss Fisher Wardrobe that I'm building. All were started from the VPLL pattern, pictured left and you can read more about how I put them together here.
2017 Preservation Ball Gown
This dress was self draped from a beautiful Yellow and Purple Ombre silk. It is probably one of the more complicated dresses I've assembled since my days as a bridal designer. I'm quite please with the results and it will be a great evening dress to take to Miss Fisher Con! You can read about how I draped it in the following posts:
Here at Last - The Art Deco Preservation Ball
Draping in Fashion Fabric - Progress on My Preservation Ball Gown
Smooth Sailing Sport Togs by Wearing History
This is by far my most worn outfit of the year! I was a little afraid of the puffy sleeves, but I've really come to love them. The trousers fit impeccably and I'm looking forward to making more in the new year. I wear the pants with my breton sweaters and t-shirts and the top layers well under pullovers and cardigans too. You can read more of my pattern review in this post:
And this was by far, my absolutely FAVORITE look of the year. The whole look is pulled together - belt, shoes, coat, hat and gloves. All that's missing is a handbag, but I think I might have something in my arsenal of accessories. I have not actually worn this complete outfit in it's entirety, but I have worn each of the pieces individually and combined with other me-made pieces on many occasions so far. My neighbor, John, was so kind to let me photograph it in his garden.
Thanks to all of your for reading through this and getting to the bottom of this post! Whew! Can't wait to get started on a whole new set of projects this coming year.
Wishing you a happy, healthy, creative and productive New Year!!!!
Happy Sewing!

Egypt - Become the Sun (album review)
The return hasn't been without some surprises however, not the least of which is the sound of the album. The Grahn lineup featured much more of a doomy, bass-led approach, with the guitar not being so up front in the mix nor in the performance. The current Stein incarnation has a much fuller, hard rock sound at its heart, coming across more like Pentagram or even Motörhead than Saint Vitus.
In an odd way, it's almost as though heavy metal is rediscovering itself. More and more bands are getting away from strict 'Doom' as a point of focus and delving into the rawer, heavy guitar-led approach of the pre-thrash late 70s, much like how Black Sabbath themselves eventually evolved between 'Black Sabbath' and 'Never Say Die' and took a generation on its back to evolve with them. One must say that Egypt is at the forefront of this movement.
From the opening licks of "Matterhorn" Egypt serve up a steaming dish of southern groove that would not sound out of place on the Dazed and Confused soundtrack. The bass tone is more in tune with the early 80s / late 70s with the gain turned way up and there's more dynamism in the drum work. Not fast and thrashy but more uptempo, more BPMs, more filling in empty spaces with fills and a lot more ride as a general thing. Even the vocals are more aggressive, smoke-blown and resonant. That all said, it's not as though Egypt has dropped the doom from their repertoire altogether. "Orb of the Wizardking", "Greenland" and "The Village is Silent" are all fine examples of the genre. But as an overall impression after listening to the album, it seems as though there's more "Stalker"s than "Wizardkings" here and it may be that that's just the point. By the time the album finishes, it's cuts like "Stalker", "Hillside" and "Matterhorn" that make the biggest impact, these are the songs that provide the stronger whispers ringing in the ears.
Their cover of Deep Purple's "Black Night" is spot on as well, pretty much note perfect. Covers, let alone faithful ones aren't usually my bag of tea, but this one fits in on this album perfectly. Just the right mood and tone and in just the right sequence. Eight songs in and the listener's sweating and maybe getting a bit tired. That's when the band jump in with that slow drum roll and killer riff and in comes that second wind. Now the listener is primed and ready for the big finish.
Egypt's return after five years and change is a triumphant one, probably not the return fans were expecting but triumphant nonetheless. Where one might have expected a low end dominated doom-a-thon, one finds the guitar leading the way into some unexpected places. In the end, Egypt have delivered a fine hard rock record that is a clear highlight of the first month of the year and just scraping the upper edge of an hour in length, the band gives the audience their money's worth.
As of right now 'Become The Sun' is available through most mp3 vendors (I got mine from cdbaby on new year's) but it will soon be available on CD sometime in February. I know I'll be at the front of the queue with cash and hand when that day comes. The band is also working on putting together a vinyl release. Here's the link to Egypt's big cartel store for future orders when it is made available.

Wow, great review! I really found Village and Orb to be the most powerful. I really like how you compared the change in style to the evolution of the genre through Black Sabbath.ReplyDelete

Stephen Reeson
Lecturer in Games Design, Teesside University
Stephen Reeson is a recent graduate of Teesside University starting initially on the BA Games Design (with foundation year in art) course at the university in 2012 before continuing at the institute with his MA in Games Development in 2015 earning a distinction for his work on Gamification being used as a universal tool both in education as well as Industry.
Currently Stephen is a full time lecturer at the university teaching Games Design as well as Production and Project Management skills, this alongside his achievement of being the youngest fully trained project manager at the age of 15 helps him define and clearly identify links between his two key subject areas.
Session Title: Gamification: Creating engaging tools for multi-discipline purposes
Synopsis: Over the past decade great advancements have been made in the field of gamification and its legitimacy as a field of study, as well its implementation by several companies and institutions ranging in size from universities and schools all the way to vast corporations such as Nike and Starbucks.
However, the resistance to change both in terms of individuals and organisations towards gamification have had a negative impact limiting the full realisation and exploration of the field due to its legitimacy being brought into question with regards to it being a 'buzzword' with a lack of depth and tangible evidence to support its possible benefits.
This presentation examines the place of gamification in the current day and how it has developed to the state it is in and the possible directions it may lead in the future.
