Publication Ethics and Malpractice StatementContents: Publication ethics are core practices comprising policies and regulations for a journal to achieve highest ranks of integrity. Our publication ethics include the following aspects that guide us in our day-to-day activities and support us in the fulfillment of our goals. 1. Introduction International Journal of Veterinary Sciences Research (IJVSR) (E-ISSN: 2410-9444) exerts a special attention to ethical integrity of its academic content and publishing process. For this purpose, IJVSR follows the editorial guidelines, publication ethics and malpractices statement as stated in Code of Conduct and Best-Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (Committee on Publication Ethics, COPE, 2011 and 2018). Reference Committee on Publication Ethics (2011). Code of Conduct and Best-Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. (Download). Committee on Publication Ethics (2018). Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. (Download). In addition, we also follow standards and best practice guidelines set by other relevant industry associations such as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICJME) and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). Any external guidelines we follow are referred to in the relevant sections below. Our editors, peer reviewers and authors refer to these section guidelines frequently to maintain the integrity of academic content and publishing process. We hope that these guidelines will be useful to authors, peer reviewers, and editors. 2. Research Integrity Research Integrity means the use of honest and verifiable methods in conducting research and ensuring scientific and professional integrity of researchers. It also involves adherence to rules, regulations, guidelines, and following commonly accepted professional codes or norms which include
The above principles namely honesty, fairness and accountability – are enshrined in our Ethics guidelines. Anyone who discovers that research published by IJVSR violates the above principles of the COPE guidelines should immediately inform our editorial committee on email: email@example.com. Concerns will immediately be addressed as per COPE guidelines and matter will be referred to our Publishing Ethics Committee with due diligence. 3. Editorial Process There are four major stages of the editorial process before going for production: (i) rewriting or revising the manuscript based on the review (ii) Substantive or Content Editing (iii) Copy editing and (iv) Proofreading. All editorial decisions on articles submitted to our journals are made by external academic editors and based on independent peer review reports. IJVSR academic editors have complete responsibility and authority to reject/accept an article. These decisions are based on the paper's relevance to the journal's scope and its academic quality as well as potential research innovation, and the research validity. An important aspect of editorial process is its confidentiality. IJVSR editors and editorial staff guarantee the confidentiality of the submitted papers, which are not disclosed to anyone except the reviewers, editorial committees and the publisher, if necessary. No member of the editorial board or reviewers has any conflict of interest with respect to acceptance or rejection of articles submitted. We adhere to the double-blind review in the peer review process and preserve the anonymity of reviewers. In the end, if errors are detected, we encourage publication of corrections as well as retractions. In case of any discrepancy found in our publication ethics, please contact us at email: firstname.lastname@example.com. 4. Peer Review Our peer review process involves qualified and experienced independent researchers (e.g., university faculty, academicians) in the relevant research areas. These peer reviews assess the submitted manuscripts for originality, validity and significance to the aim and scope of the journal. The peer review process also helps editors to filter out invalid or poorly written articles.
These guidelines and policies related to IJVSR's peer review process are clearly presented on the journal website as per COPE guidelines on Peer review process. 5. Authorship and Contributorship Any individual playing a role in research is eligible to be a contributor. Contributorship includes authorship as well because publication ethics demands that the contribution of each individual author should be specified when research is submitted for publication. There are different norms to define who should be listed as an author, some of which are following:
In addition, we encourage authors to list names(s) of individual(s) who assisted in the completion of the manuscript in the Acknowledgments section, to recognize their contribution. One of the authors should be the corresponding author who should handle all correspondences related to the manuscript, before, during and after the publication Prior to the publication, the corresponding author should clearly state that s/he is given authority by all co-authors to act on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication of the manuscript. There exist extensive guidelines of COPE on Authorship and Contributorship, its definition, scope and even disputes related to authorship. Please see https://publicationethics.org/authorship. Our editors frequently refer to these guidelines whenever any authorship dispute escalates. This integrates us with industry established standards and achieve transparency. In addition, we follow established and emerging industry standards to increase transparency in authorship (e.g., ORCID). We also support initiatives that enable transparency in authorship and Contributorship, such as CRediT taxonomy. If you wish to report any discrepancy in authorship and Contributorship, please contact us at email: email@example.com. 6. Ethical Guidelines for the Use of Human Participants in Research IJVSR requires all authors to evaluate whether there is any physical or psychological hazard during the conduct of a research which involves human participants, whether patients, volunteers, or healthy individuals. Such research studies may be classified as basic (experimental), clinical, and epidemiological research, prepared as a cohort study, case-control, or cross-sectional. Investigators are required to make a full disclosure about any such risk or hazard that the human participants me be exposed to. It will be mandatory to obtain informed consent from all such human participants in order to safeguards the welfare and dignity of the participants. Failure to make full disclosure prior to obtaining informed consent might lead to a delay or rejection of the manuscript. The demographics should also include number, sex, age range and state of health of the human participants. Though payments to healthy volunteers participating in research are allowable, provided that such payment is to reimburse expenses or compensate for time and inconvenience, and is not at a level that would constitute an inducement for people to take part in studies. Such human research should be conducted only with the approval of the institutional ethical committee. References 7. Ethical Guidelines for the Use of Animals in Research IJVSR expects that all authors who make use of live animals ought to have adequate expertise on animals and knowledge about the biology of the specific animal species under research. They should also ensure that other co-researchers and investigators under their supervision are given required instruction about care, maintenance and handling of the animal species. It is expected that research that involves animals should first try to look for other alternatives if same knowledge can be acquired without using laboratory animals. If not feasible, it is advised that researcher should make reasonable efforts to minimize the pain, discomfort, and suffering to animal subjects before and after the experiment. This pain may be caused due to trapping, labelling, anaesthetizing, breeding, transportation, stabling and euthanizing. Suffering will include hunger, pain thirst, malnutrition, abnormal cold or heat, fear, stress, injury, illness and restrictions on the ability to behave normally/naturally. Such an indispensable use of animals as subjects should be justified by scientific and educational value and benefit to animals, people and environment and the same must be a part of the rationale of the research. Surgical procedures must also be performed under appropriate anesthesia and to avoid infection and minimize pain. If the life of the animal subject is to be terminated, it must be done with minimal pain and in accordance with accepted procedures and legal framework. It is also expected that all authors must comply with their country's respective laws and international agreements regarding the use of laboratory animals. The research on animals must not endanger biological diversity of the region nor have any adverse consequences on the natural behavior of the stock and the ecosystem. The use of endangered and vulnerable species must also be reduced to an absolute minimum. Finally, researchers are responsible for disseminating the negative results of experiments on animals and bring them in public knowledge, in order to inform other researchers not to perform those experiments which are not worth pursuing, and thus help reduce the use of animals in research. References 8. Plagiarism Plagiarism is defined as unattributed use of large portions of text and/or data or any previously published work without consent, credit, or acknowledgment and fraudulently passing it as one's own work. It may also include text(s), illustrations, musical quotations, extended mathematical derivations, computer codes, material downloaded from websites or drawn from manuscripts; published and unpublished material, including lectures, presentations etc. An author is alleged of plagiarism if there are act of minor copying of short phrases in discussions; or literal (word–for-word) copying of large parts from a published paper; or reproducing major parts of a previously published paper such as text, tables, and figures; or paraphrasing large texts without verbatim copying the text; or recycling author's own previously published text, termed as self-plagiarism, without citation of the prior work. COPE provides clear guidelines on processes (What to do if you suspect plagiarism?) to be followed to check plagiarism when detected before and after publication. Besides, there are instructions how to check all submissions through appropriate plagiarism checking tools. We use plagiarism-checking software, CrossCheck, powered by iThenticate, for all manuscripts submitted for publication. This assists editors in identifying plagiarism in all submissions. Submissions containing suspected plagiarism, in whole or part, are rejected. If plagiarism is discovered post-publication, we can retract the article. We expect our readers, reviewers and editors to raise any suspicions of plagiarism, either by contacting the relevant editor or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. 9. Duplicate and Redundant Publication Submitting a new manuscript containing the same hypotheses, data, discussion points, and/or conclusions as a previously published manuscript is called as duplicate publication. This is similar to plagiarism, but instead of copying phrases verbatim, the same data, images, and study hypothesis are replicated in another paper. The COPE classifies duplicate publications into major and minor offences. A major offence is defined as a duplicate publication based on the same dataset with identical findings and/or evidence that authors have sought to hide redundancy, e.g., by changing title or author order or not referring to previous papers. A minor offence, also referred as "salami slicing," is defined as a duplicate publication with some element of redundancy or legitimate repetition or reanalysis (e.g., subgroup/extended follow-up/repeated methods). Please refer to COPE's definition of redundant publication, available at: We do not support substantial overlap between publications, unless our editors recommend that it will strengthen the academic discourse and contribute to research. We publish only when we have clear approval from the original publisher while citing the original source. We expect our readers, reviewers and editors to raise any suspicions of duplicate or redundant publication, either by contacting the relevant editor or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Such redundant publications are retracted as per the COPE Flowcharts https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Flowcharts 10. Conflicts of Interest Conflicts of interest, also known as competing interests, may be financial, personal, social or other interests that directly or indirectly influence the conduct of the author with respect to the manuscript submitted. Direct conflict of interest occurs when authors are benefited in the form of stocks, patents, employment from the text/ content of the paper. Indirect conflicts of interest are in the form of research grants, funds or honoraria etc. received from the published content. A conflict of interest can also be widely affecting the public if the outcome of a generalized and empirical research leads to only personal advantage. Examples include a conflict between the investigator and co-investigators, between investigators and the trial subjects of research, and such factors that compromise with the integrity of the research domain at large or its trustworthiness. Conflicts may also occur regarding financial or non-financial support received from individuals, institutions, social and economic organizations, political pressure groups, and academic agencies. IJVSR insists on identifying such real or potential conflict of interest at all stages of research ranging from funding applications, recruiting participants and taking their consent, public disclosures, and even post-publication if findings are used for commercialization or seeking patents and copyrights. Unless an agreement or a formal self-declaration needs to be documented with the corresponding author regarding declaring the conflict of interest pre and post publication, a brief written statement at the time of submission of research is required. The corresponding author, however, first summarizes and discloses any competing interests in the cover letter in the form of a self-declaration. The editor will thoroughly examine whether there is a need to amend the research plan by asking the corresponding author to clarify any issues if the research has or might have a conflict of interest pre and post publication. Subsequently, the editor would also decide whether such competing interests would interfere with the objectivity of research or pose a risk to its integrity after publication. The editor then takes steps transparently to ask the corresponding author to disclose the conflicts of interest norms as a part of the research procedure within the text (if the conflict of interest is of a type and severity that involves the research participants) and unambiguously mention that the same has been revealed to the participants and their consent taken) and/or simultaneously append the conflict of statement at the end of the article (prior to References) along with other disclosures. We also expect our readers and reviewers to report any undisclosed conflict of interest for a work published or under consideration in our journal to our editor or email firstname.lastname@example.com. References 11. Funding Declaration IJVSR mandates all authors to append a funding acknowledgement statement as a separate heading under Acknowledgements' prior to References. This statement will declare all sources of funding received for the research submitted to the journal. This statement is still required even if there is no funding received. The author may write "The author(s) received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article." The funding support for the research includes all kinds of support including salaries, equipment, supplies, reimbursement for attending symposia, and other expenses by funding agencies. The title of the funding agency should be written in full, followed by the grant number and year of receiving the grant. If the research was supported by more than one funding agency, all the names of agencies should be mentioned clearly with respective grant numbers. If authors feel that such funding information may compromise their anonymity and/ or might affect the peer reviews, they can withhold this information and submit the same with the final accepted manuscript. In case of multiple authors, and if each author has received individual grants, the same must be declared individually in case of Inaccurate information about funding discovered after publication, the journal has a right to make a correction. 12. Libel, Defamation and Freedom of Expression Libel and slander are two infamous matters that affect a person's reputation and termed as defamation. Libel is written defamation, while slander is oral defamation. Some written transcripts or manuscripts submitted for publications also fall under the rubric of libel. When any editorial committee seeks to protect reputation or prevent any defamation to occur, it invariably is seen as infringement on freedom of expression. Our journal considers freedom of expression as a right of the author but we do not support publication of false statements that can harm the reputation of individuals, groups, or organizations. Our legal team pays special attention on any kind of pre-publication libel reviews, or allegations of libel. We honor authors' freedom of expression and allow them to express their beliefs, thoughts, ideas, and emotions about different issues free from any censorship, provided they do onto amount to libels or defamation. 13. Retractions, Corrections and Expressions of Concern IJVSR addresses the retractions, corrections or expressions of concern in line with COPE's Guidelines available here https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines.
Regarding corrections, if an error is committed inadvertently by the author, IJVSR issues a corrigendum or if the error is due to a member of Editorial committee, we issue an erratum. Our production unit can minor changes of typesetting or proofreading, but any substantive corrections are carried out in line with COPE's Retraction Guidelines. IJVSR publishes Expressions of Concern if we identify well-founded concerns or suspicions and feel that readers should be made aware of such potentially misleading information. We follow the COPE guidelines to schedule expression of such concerns as stated in COPE's Retraction Guidelines. All such concerns include citation of the original article and explains the editor's concerns about its contents. Care is taken not to disturb its indexing and abstracting links and that they are accessible. In the end, if errors are detected, we encourage publication of corrections as well as retractions. In case of any enquiries, concerns or issues related to retractions, please contact us at email: email@example.com. Reference COPE (2019) COPE Retraction guidelines — English. https://doi.org/10.24318/cope.2019.1.4 Version 2: November 2019. 14. Image Manipulation, Falsification and Fabrication Image manipulation occurs when images or their embedded data are modified in such a fashion that images might misrepresent the results obtained from them. Unless there are legitimate reasons for modifying images, we do not expect authors to modify images as it might lead to falsification, fabrication, or misrepresentation of data findings. Data falsification is the manipulation of research data, method or material, processes, findings and results with the intention of giving a false impression. Data fabrication is the intentional misrepresentation of research data by making-up findings, misreporting results. 15. Fraudulent Research and Research Misconduct Fraudulent research is a violation of the standard code of conduct and publication ethics in scientific research. It is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual, by intentionally falsifying and/or fabricating research data, and misleading reporting of the results. Research misconduct includes plagiarism, misreporting research results, etc. besides fabrication and falsification of research data and findings. A negligent deviation from accepted practices and failure to follow established protocols also amounts to Research misconduct. It also includes intentional and unauthorized disclosure of research findings, materials, writings or devices used in research. IJVSR emphasizes on the integrity of content. We refer to COPE guidelines and regulations on Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and Guidelines on Good Publication Practice to investigate any potential fraudulence or research misconduct. In the event of any inadvertent slip, we immediately retract the published content. 16. Versions and Adaptations One of the evidences of complying with COPE guidelines and publishing ethics is that IJVSR does not issue any different versions of our published content in different geographical, cultural, linguistics and environmental locations. Our authors are distributed across many geographical regions, languages and cultures, but we do not modify the published content to meet linguistic or ideological requirements of any region. Nor do we compromise with the quality, effectiveness or factual accuracy of the research content nor let it conflict with our Code of Ethics as specified in COPE Guidelines on Good Publication Practice. 17. Transparency Transparency in research resides in truth and honesty in research publications. We expect authors to be transparent in their research data. Data transparency means the accessibility of data no matter where it is located or what application created it. Secondly, data transparency also requires the assurance that data is accurate and coming from authentic sources. Transparency in research also enables readers to utilize the data confidently to support their empirical research. IJVSR adheres to COPE's Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly. 18. Data and Supporting Evidence In order to ensure trust, honesty and transparency of data, IJVSR expects authors to maintain accurate records of supporting evidence such as filled-in questionnaires, interview transcripts, codes, and other research material. At times, such data may be required to verify, and replicate new findings, and to support evidences on reasonable request. If allowed by the appropriate authorities and the funding agency, we encourage authors to submit research data in a suitable repository or a location, for sharing and further use by others; and/ or provide a data availability statement or a source where data can be found. 19. Integrity of Record IJVSR maintains a track record of all our publications along with the metadata consisting of volume, issues and page numbers of each publication. It is our primary objective to first ensure that the metadata is accessible to all within a jurisdiction without violating the law of the land nor modifying the research content to suit the geographical, linguistic or cultural diversity. In the event of retraction or corrections, when we need to alter our publications, we preserve the indexing and accessing information as far possible. Thus, we keep the integrity of our meta records. 20. Fair Access IJVSR believes in free and fair, low-cost access of all our digital content to researchers across all geographical regions globally. For this purpose, we organize events like seminars, webinars, conferences and participate in global access initiatives to ensure a wider accessibility of our open access published content. IJVSR also waives off APC for the authors belonging to low and middle-income countries who are unable to pay the APC. 21. Copyright and Licensing In academic research, copyright is a type of intellectual property that protects an author's original creative work. After online publication of article, the copyright is held by the Conscientia Beam, but the published articles are freely available for download. Conscientia Beam allows readers to read your research without barriers as well as the authors to build upon their work non-commercially. This indicates that the author can share the article/abstract on personal website at any point after publication of article (this includes posting to Facebook, Google groups, and LinkedIn, plus linking from Twitter). The author can submit article in research institutional repository by mentioning the original source of publication. However, If the author wishes to reprint the published article as a chapter in his own book or others, the permission of the copyright holder (Conscientia Beam) will have to be sought. 22. Marketing Communication IJVSR utilize the social media platforms and other electronic media to disseminate our content and engage readers with our publications. We try to reach new readers through quick communication methods like emails, twitter and Facebook. Our Editorial board and reviewers are familiar with social media policies and practices and plan their advertising and marketing activities by adhering to norms and standards of the concerned regulatory body such as Advertising Standards Authority's Guidance on the Marketing of Publications (or equivalent bodies applicable to our global offices). Such communication for the purpose of marketing and publicity of the journal content is not at the expense of its integrity of content. 23. Advertising IJVSR makes use of very specific, appropriate and only most essential advertising on our online publications. The logos of indexing bodies like Scopus, ERIC, WoS and others are shown to inform the readers of the indexing status of the journal. Such advertising is independent from what we publish and has no connection with contents of the manuscripts or with the with the themes of special issues. We follow the Research Publishing Ethics Guidelines on Good Publication Practice while we use the required and limited advertising. We also adhere to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines https://www.asa.org.uk/resource/publications.html for our data protection regulations, Marketing of Publications, and our internal Compliance procedures. 24. PR / Media The PR/ Media committee of IJVSR comprises editorial board members as well as a few authors who promote the journal among their academic colleagues in universities and institutions. For this purpose we follow the Code of Conduct of the concerned regulatory bodies including COPE Guidelines on Good Publication Practice. We strictly observe the norms and standards when we need to issue press releases or other media communications in seminars and conferences. If our PR/Media activities concern our authors, editors or reviewers, we keep them informed about the media activity with their names mentioned. Our editors and peer reviewers who are involved in media or publicity related activities are encouraged to familiarize themselves with and follow the International Public Relations Association's (IPRA) Code of Conduct https://www.ipra.org/member-services/code-of-conduct/. 25. Metrics, Usage and Reporting IJVSR complies with the industry standards and the Code of Ethics while reporting metrics, statistics and content usage (e.g. citations). We ensure that our reporting of metrics and statistics are correct, accurate and no malicious infringement has been committed and remains compliant with the industry standard and the COUNTER Code of Practice Release 5 https://www.projectcounter.org/code-of-practice-five-sections/abstract/. We also share our metrics with third parties, including commercial services, who provide users and readers with metrics illustrating our impact factor, and other such metrics. We appreciate the support provided to us by third parties such as Crossref, and other indexing bodies ((through the provision of data, access or fees) that have actively facilitated our work of disseminating our metrics and data statistics. |

Cuboid syndrome mostly affects athletes, although it can affect non-athletes too. It is also known as cuboid subluxation or cuboid fault syndrome. This condition occurs when joints and ligaments near the cuboid bone of the foot are damaged, or when the cuboid bone itself is dislodged from its natural position. It is usually marked by pain on the outer side of the foot, which may be persistent or may come and go. Cuboid syndrome can be difficult to diagnose unless it becomes severe and more noticeable. Your doctor will likely ask questions about when the pain began and how long it has been present, and will put pressure on the cuboid bone to determine if that area is the origin of the pain.
Causes of Cuboid Syndrome
Disagreements Amongst Podiatrists Regarding Cuboid Syndrome
It is very important that when you experience any kind of pain on the side of your foot, you should seek medical care right away. If a subluxed cuboid is caught early, your feet may respond well to the treatment, and you can get back into sports or other activities again as soon as the pain subsides.

I promised a proper review of the Boots No7 Stay Perfect Foundation* that I've been practically living in all Summer. I also mentioned about how I'd never in my wildest dreams actually imagined that it would work well on my skintype.
I don't know about you but there are certain preconceptions I have when I hear the marketing blurb about products. To me, something that is touted as "stay perfect" or "long-lasting" inevitably puts me in mind of a foundation designed for oilier skintypes. At the very least, something that my dry/combination skin would fail to tolerate.
In this instance, I was wrong.
No7 Stay Perfect foundation comes in an impressive range of 17 shades and I, somewhat predictably, was matched to the lightest of these: Calico. I find Calico to be quite neutral in terms of hue, leaning neither too pink nor too yellow.
The finish is semi-matte and I'm unsure at this moment in time how my skin will tolerate this foundation when Winter comes around. I'd hypothesise that we may not be quite such good buddies once the dry-flakes settle in for the season but at the moment, whilst my skin is very much "combination", the No7 Stay Perfect is ticking all the right boxes.
One of the reasons I'm getting on so well with this foundation is down to a slightly unusual reason, the packaging. In terms of how much product the pump dispenses, for me… it's perfect. Now, I don't know about you… but unless a pump dispenses a ridiculous amount of product, I generally just apply the lot without really thinking about it. This one dispenses slightly less than the average pump's worth, but isn't so meagre that it makes you want to dispense another pump. For some reason, this makes me really work the product into the skin… stroking and buffing the liquid formula until I achieve what is, quite literally, the perfect amount of coverage for me.
I know that it seems such a strange reason to love a foundation but it wasn't until I used this that I realised just how much I tend to simply (over)apply whatever is dispensed onto the back of my hand without thinking.
The Boots No7 Stay Perfect foundation gives me enough coverage (I'd class it as sheer/medium) to tone down the redness around my nose without obliterating my natural skin-texture, it evens out most areas without masking natural radiance and most of all, it lasts almost all day without slipping from my nose or chin. My only caveat with this product is I feel that it has a problem with oxidisation, something I can just about get away with because I'm not particularly heavy-handed during application.
The formula feels lightweight on the skin and pairs beautifully with a silicone-based primer, despite the included SPF. Infact, this is the first foundation I've used that actually makes me want to reach for a primer. I've worn it both with and without but for literally, the first time, I can see a difference in my skin texture when using a primer. It glides over the top and gives a great impression of minimising some of the pores on my cheeks. I'm all about cutting out the extra steps during makeup application but I genuinely get a little bit excited when I apply this foundation/primer combo (for the record, I'm using my DHC Velvet Skin Coat primer).
Anyway, enough gushing… I've taken my time with this review because I feel strongly about its value as a bloody great foundation. For me, it's a bloody great foundation. It also helps that it doesn't cost ££££, no? Slightly bizarrely, I really seem to get on better with high-street foundations than expensive ones. Good for me, I suppose!
The picture below shows the foundation with a full-face of makeup on top. No highlighter or light-reflective blush, I'm loving the natural luminosity! I just hope and pray I'll still be able to wear this once the weather turns cooler.
Boots No7 Stay Perfect Foundation is available to buy online and instore at Boots, priced at £14. Have you tried it?

Most of the time my thoughts are fractured, little snippets. Like animals fighting for attention. Somewhere in my brain is the judge, the guy who says "not worthy", "not original," or very occasionally, "fantastic!" The problem is, this inner Judge assumes an unearned jurisdiction in my brain. It's like that annoying FBI dude who turns up at the crime scene and tells Denzel Washington to go home.
Here's an example: I think I have it within me to write an all-time-great romantic comedy, but my judge says two things, one is, "but your writing sucks!" and the other is "Rom-Com? Pathetic! Do something more worthwhile!"
Amazing how we become victims of the fictional characters inside our heads. I think growing up is all about blocking your best routes to creativity. Maturity is opening them back up again.
"I think growing up is all about blocking your best routes to creativity. Maturity is opening them back up again."
I like that sentence. Totally unscientific, just a random rambly thought from me. Could be totally without basis, but who cares? It feels good to me. Isn't that what blogging is about anyway? Spewing out your thoughts and whoever has the most authoritative voice wins.
Just like inside my own brain. The strongest voice wins. That's why it's so hard to write, because so many of the ideas trickle through and don't have the strength to stand up for themselves. How are we meant to know a good idea? So many people think they have GENIUS ideas, but then you read the script or watch the movie and wonder what they've been smoking.
So many great moments in art happen by accident, like a reflex. The way an actor's voice creaks, the way a wall blocks the light, the way a last minute script revision improves everything. So often that ISN'T inspiration. It isn't really anything, it just is.
I think sometimes our worst ideas are the best. If I said to you, "write the cheesiest and dumbest action movie of all time", it's entirely possible you could create a masterpiece. Because there's real strength behind the things we resist.
We build up tastes. Ideals. Concepts of what good art is. Then we sit around for years wondering why it isn't clicking. It's because you've got to turn the thing back around. The things you DESPISE in art, what can they teach you? What are you blocking out from your writing, your art, your life? I guarantee, if you switch off that resistance, you'll find a huge stream of energy.
When I started writing this blog post, I didn't know what it would be about, I just wanted to start writing. But that was actually extremely hard for me, because I feel like I should only write when I have a big idea, when I can write something that shows a strong knowledge of film or an abundance of creativity. But why? Who set those rules? My blog is my place to freely ramble as I please, yet so many things inside of me stop me from fully expressing myself.
Part of that is quality control. If I just copy and pasted the word "filmfrumbles" five hundred times and then posted it, you'd think it was pathetic and would be less likely to come back. But a post like this? Maybe you'll find it interesting. Or maybe not. But then why does it matter? If I only write blogs that I think are 'safe' and likely to make you think I am full of filmic knowledge, then I am blocking a huge amount of myself.
You have to know your audience. But you also have to write the word filmfrumbles when you want to. It's just a blog. Just a script. Just a paintbrush. We limit ourselves in countless ways. Look at what you resist, think about what you ridicule, be aware of that which you disassociate from. Inside all of these things is a hidden power.

Unmanned Systems: A Lab-based Robotic Arm for Grasping Phase II - Video Portal
Unmanned Systems: A Lab-based Robotic Arm for Grasping Phase II
ENS Pedro Hayden Salazar, Peruvian Navy
A 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) Leap Motion Controller (LMC) was characterized in position and accuracy for robotic arm control. Tests were conducted with linear and planer trajectories for input into the Kinova Jaco interface. The objective was to produce an intuitive and adaptive system that mimicked natural hand motion. Algorithms in C++ were produced to translate LMC Cartesian position information to the Jaco Arm reference frame. Data showed that the LMC detector was quite sensitive to human hand jitter. Post processing low pass FFT filter techniques were employed to mitigate this problem. LMC hand motion volume parameters were empirically scaled, in the Cartesian frame, to match Jaco motion operational requirements. It was determined that the LMC can be successfully used, as an input device, for Jaco robotic arm control. Robotic arm trajectory latency issues were negligible when Jaco Arm parameters for displacement trajectory rates were not violated and this was successfully managed in program code and user visual input.

Man who spent 39 years in prison for murders he did not commit gets $21 million settlement
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) - The city of Simi Valley, California, has reached a $21 million settlement with a man wrongly imprisoned for nearly 40 years in the killing of his girlfriend and her 4-year-old son.
Craig Coley was released in 2017 after he was pardoned by then-Gov. Jerry Brown, who said DNA evidence and re-investigation proved Coley's innocence.
Simi Valley officials said Saturday that the agreement would mitigate long, costly and unnecessary legal proceedings, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"While no amount of money can make up for what happened to Mr. Coley, settling this case is the right thing to do for Mr. Coley and our community," City Manager Eric Levitt said in a statement. The city will pay about $4.9 million and the rest is expected to be paid by insurance and other sources.
The state last year approved a separate, nearly $2 million payment for Coley. He is now 71.
Coley spent 39 years behind bars after he was wrongly convicted of killing 24-year-old Rhonda Wicht of Simi Valley and her son in 1978.
The city's police chief and Ventura County's district attorney asked Brown to pardon him because forensic tests showed Coley's DNA was not on the victim's bedsheet, which contained DNA from an unknown man. Coley had an alibi for the time of the slayings and investigators later disproved testimony from an eyewitness who placed him at the scene.
His parents died while he was in prison after mortgaging their home to pay his legal bills.
Ron Kaye, an attorney representing Coley, said the settlement offers some closure and vindication for his client, though no amount of money can compensate him for the life he missed while imprisoned.
"He now can live the rest of his life, which we hope will be really well into the future, with the security he deserves," Kaye said.
Soon after Coley was pardoned, a judge declared him factually innocent. Simi Valley police have not arrested anyone else in the killings.

The discovery of the omicron variant of the coronavirus in the U.S. is raising questions about whether it'll be safe to travel for the upcoming holidays, with Christmas just three weeks away.
As NPR's David Schaper reports, that's brought worries to the airline industry, which was just starting to turn the corner toward recovery.
DAVID SCHAPER, BYLINE: Did you travel for Thanksgiving? If so, you know you were not alone. Airlines had their busiest week since the pandemic began. And the industry had been preparing for a very busy December, too, with airlines ramping up hiring and some offering employees incentives to work extra shifts to accommodate an increase in passengers. But now with the emergence of the omicron variant, it's here we go again, as many would-be holiday travelers are rethinking their plans.
PAM VAN DYCK: Our biggest concern, of course, with what's happening now with the new variant - and it's just getting a little risky.
SCHAPER: Pam Van Dyck and her husband Barry had planned to take their two kids and their families to Mexico to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary last year. But the pandemic forced them to postpone to this December. And now she's dreading the thought of postponing again.
VAN DYCK: We're ready. We're all ready, (laughter) you know? Everybody's ready for a real vacation away from home - but not putting everybody at risk.
SCHAPER: Dr. Robert Murphy, professor of infectious diseases at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine says, while the omicron variant is concerning, there's not a lot known about it yet. He says those without underlying health conditions don't need to cancel travel plans yet. But they should be ready to hit the pause button.
ROBERT MURPHY: We'll know a lot more in the next two weeks. And if this comes out like we think it's going to come - in other words, it's just more contagious, and it's not a worse disease, and if you're vaccinated and boosted - that if you do get infected, you don't get too sick - I think travel could be pretty safe very soon.
SCHAPER: But dozens of countries are imposing new travel restrictions to try to slow the spread of the omicron variant - the U.S. among them - with the Biden administration now requiring proof of a negative COVID test for all travelers coming into the U.S. within a day of their departure. It's also extending the mask-wearing mandate in airports and on board planes into March. Such restrictions could have a chilling effect on air travel.
ROBERT W MANN: Well, you know, it's one more headache you didn't need, hopefully, and you hope to avoid.
SCHAPER: Robert W. Mann is a former airline executive who now works as a consultant for an industry reeling for nearly two years now, even though it just had its best week since the pandemic began.
MANN: It's a continuation of the theme we've seen since the beginning, which was, you know, two steps forward, one step back - or sometimes two steps back. But, you know, we'll make it through this. We understand how to deal with it a lot better than we did initially.
SCHAPER: While bookings for future travel are starting to slow, Mann says holiday travelers tend to book far ahead of time. And most haven't been canceling travel plans just yet. But he says the omicron variant does cast a pall of uncertainty for airline executives planning for next year.
MANN: And their decision has to be, you know, how much capacity am I going to risk scheduling in 2022 for the spring and summer, mostly? - because that's when everyone hoped we would be out of the soup and into the black again. But I think there's still - some concern is that this may once again delay that recovery process.
SCHAPER: Citing the World Health Organization's advice that blanket travel bans will not prevent the international spread of COVID, airline and travel executives are urging governments globally not to institute what some call panic-driven travel restrictions, which would hurt the industry.

Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America (Hardcover)
This title is currently unavailable for order.
This title is currently unavailable for order.
A vivid, surprising portrait of the civic and economic reinvention taking place in America, town by town and generally out of view of the national media. A realistically positive and provocative view of the country between its coasts.
For the last five years, James and Deborah Fallows have been traveling across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, they have met hundreds of civic leaders, workers, immigrants, educators, environmentalists, artists, public servants, librarians, business people, city planners, students, and entrepreneurs to take the pulse and understand the prospects of places that usually draw notice only after a disaster or during a political campaign.
The America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but itis also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves. Their view of the country is as complex and contradictory as America itself, but it also reflects the energy, the generosity and compassion, the dreams, and the determination of many who are in the midst of making things better. Our Towns is the story of their journey—and an account of a country busy remaking itself.
About the Author
JAMES FALLOWS has been a national correspondent for The Atlantic for more than thirty-five years, reporting from China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and across the United States. He is the author of eleven previous books. His work has also appeared in many other magazines and as public-radio commentaries since the 1980s. He has won a National Book Award and a National Magazine Award. For two years he was President Jimmy Carter's chief speechwriter.
DEBORAH FALLOWS is a linguist and writer who holds a PhD in theoretical linguistics and is the author of two previous books. She has written for The Atlantic, National Geographic, Slate, The New York Times, and The Washington Monthly, and has worked at the Pew Research Center, Oxygen Media, and Georgetown University. She and her husband have two sons and four grandchildren.
Praise For…
"James and Deborah Fallows have always moved to where history is being made. . . . They have an excellent sense of where world-shaping events are taking place at any moment—and a fervent commitment to be there to see it happen. . . . In these cities, the Fallows argue, citizen participants are coping with declining industries, creating new civic cultures, assimilating waves of immigration, and collaborating across party-lines to revive everything from arts programs to tech seedbeds."—David Brooks, The New York Times
"A tonic of a book about the can-do America unready to succumb to rot."—Roger Cohen, The New York Times
"Reminiscent of Charles Kuralt's On The Road with Charles Kuralt, this unique look at the heart of America will bring hope and insight to readers. Highly recommended."—David Miller, Library Journal
"I've been waiting for this book for years....Buy this book....This country is more united than divided...and this book will prove it."—Joe Scarborough, co-host of Morning Joe on MSNBC
"Knowing the Fallows and their work, I assumed this new co-authored book of theirs would be typically savvy, sensitive, articulate and prescient. What I didn't expect was how a record of experiences of current middle American communities, through their lenses, would be such a page turner! I've guessed for many years that real change in this world would be effected by and within small communities--places where people feel connected and capable of impact on some larger scale. Our Towns is a monumental validation of that hypothesis—with real stories and real people, who are really getting things done. James & Deborah—thanks for your journey, your open and honest observations, and helping to shine light for us at the end of many tunnels." —David Allen, author of Getting Things Done; the Art of Stress-Free Productivity
"Our Towns will become a classic, joining the ranks of American odysseys from De Tocqueville to Dos Passos. The landscape unfurls beneath us; the language of different regions echoes in our ears. Most important, this book is a tonic for what ails us as a nation, a captivating story of energy and renewal across the land." —Anne-Marie Slaughter, President & CEO, New America
"In the tradition of John Steinbeck and Studs Terkel, the Fallows have crisscrossed the country in search of the extraordinary strength and character of ordinary people and places. What they've found—in towns we know and others off the beaten path—should give us all great hope for the future." —California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.
"An illuminating trip through 'parts of the country generally missed by the media spotlight'….Writing with lively curiosity and open minds, the couple have created textured portraits of 29 American cities, from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Eastport, Maine, to Redlands, California…. A well-reported, optimistic portrait of America's future." —Kirkus Reviews
"An eye-opening, keenly optimistic reminder of the strength of America's vital center." —Publishers Weekly

What Sellers Can Do
In addition to using a business broker, there are specific steps you can take to increase the chance of a successful closing.
Know why you want to sell your business. Before placing your business for sale, it is important that you both know why you want to sell your business and that you are certain about this decision.
Have a plan for what you will do following the closing.
Make sure important parties are on board. The time to discuss the sale of your business, as well as future plans, with partners, spouses, children and other involved parties is before you list.
Communicate to your outside advisors that you want the deal to work.
Choose your battles. Both buyers and sellers need to be willing to compromise. It is helpful to consider in advance the areas that are most important to you so you can come to the table with a willingness to compromise in other areas.

Sent to Newsweek, May 1, 2014.
Alexander Nazaryan ("Sorry,
Louis C.K., but You're Wrong About Common Core," May 1) says our schools need the
increased "rigor" of the common core because they are so bad: "China,
South Korea and Germany are leaving us in the chalk dust, most Americans can
barely find America on the map ...".
Not so. When researchers control for the effect of
poverty, American students' international test scores are at the top of the
world. Our overall scores are unspectacular (but not
terrible) because we have so much child poverty, 24%, the second highest among
all economically advanced countries.
Poverty means poor diet, inadequate
health care, and little or no access to books. All of these have devastating
effects on school performance. The best
teaching has little effect when children are hungry, ill and have nothing to
The common core not only ignores the
real problem, but also offers us a plan with no basis in the research: There is
no research supporting "tough" standards, no research that justifies
the bad math homework Louis C.K.'s children had to deal with. Also, studies
show that increasing testing does not improve school achievement.
The common core is a bad solution
that is aimed at the wrong problem.

Washington, D.C. - On Wednesday, June 25, at 9 a.m., members of the U.S. Senate Judiciary hearing will hold a public hearing on laptop searches and other privacy violations faced by Americans at the U.S. border.
Senior Staff Attorney Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation will appear at Wednesday's hearing to urge more congressional investigation and oversight of the Department of Homeland Security's border search practices and policies. While the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that customs and border agents can perform "routine" searches at the border without a warrant or even reasonable suspicion, increasingly Americans are complaining about random and invasive searches of their laptops, cell phones, and other digital devices as they come home from overseas travel. In a typical search, U.S. border officials will turn on the device and then open and review files. If agents see something of interest, they may copy data or confiscate the device -- even if the traveler is not suspected of criminal activity.
"These ongoing baseless searches of electronic devices at America's borders are not 'routine,' they're unreasonable," said Tien. "It's hard to imagine something more invasive than a wholesale copying of private files from a personal computer. We need Congress and the courts to recognize a standard for digital searches and seizures at the border that protects the privacy, property, and free speech rights of Americans in the Information Age."

This critical investigation of the Mother Shipton literature is published early in 1881, the year in which, according to that celebrated Yorkshire prophetess, the world is to come to an end. The best known of the prophecies attributed to her, is the following;
"The world to an end shall come,
In eighteen hundred and eighty one."
This, and other prophecies, said to have been copied from records of unimpeachable antiquity in the British Museum Library, which prophecies in some cases have been reproduced in alleged fac-simile, have raised
curiosity even in the scientific and sceptical mind, and fanned the flame of imagination in the mind idealistic, as to what amount of truth, or error, or deception, may be at the root of the matter. These questions it is my object to attempt to solve by reference to papers of true antiquity in the national possession.
Prophecies about the end of the world have always had more or less influence. Whiston predicted that the world would be destroyed on the 13th October, 1736, and crowds of people left London, to see, from neighbouring fields, the destruction of the city, which was to be "the beginning of the end."
Numbers of fanatics in Europe, predicted the end of the world in 999. "The scene of the last judgment was expected to be at Jerusalem. In the year 999, the number of pilgrims proceeding eastward, to await the coming of the Lord in that city, was so great that they were compared to a desolating army. Most of them sold their goods and possessions before they quitted Europe, and lived upon the proceeds in the Holy Land. Buildings of every sort were suffered to fall into ruins. It was thought useless to repair them when the end of the world was so near. Many noble edifices were deliberately pulled down. Even churches, usually so well maintained, shared the general neglect. Knights, citizens, and serfs, travelled eastwards in company, taking with them their wives and children, singing psalms as they went, and looking with fearful eyes upon the sky, which they expected each minute to open, and to let the Son of God descend in glory." 1
A panic occurred in Leeds in 1806, during which many in their fear "got religion" for a time, and indulged in a temporary repentance. A Yorkshire hen had been laying eggs in a village close by, inscribed, "Christ is coming." Eventually the writing was discovered to be in corrosive ink, and the trick by which observers were made to believe that the hen laid them in that condition, was found out.
The Pall Mall Gazette of April 14th, 1879, says that the Mid-Somerset people believed Mother Shipton to have prophesied that on Good Friday, 1879, Ham Hill, near Yeovil, would be swallowed up at 12 o'clock by an earthquake, and Yeovil itself visited by a tremendous flood. Some people actually left the locality with their families to avoid the calamity; others made various preparations for it. On the Good Friday large numbers of people flocked to the vicinity of Ham Hill, to see it swallowed up, but were disappointed.
The following is the most largely circulated form of one of other Shipton's reputed prophecies, which of late years has been exercising the public mind. I quote it from p. 450 of Notes and Queries, December 7th, 1872, but since, as well as before then, its circulation has been extensive.
"(Entitled by Popular tradition 'Mother Shipton's Prophecy,')
Published in 1448, republished in 1641.
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
The world upside down shall be
And gold be found at the root of a tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green;
Iron in the water shall float,
As easily as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown
In a land that's now not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a foe.
The world to an end shall come,
In eighteen hundred and eighty one."
The present popular ideas about Mother Shipton herself are twofold, as set forth in cheap publications, mostly almanacs with her name on the cover. Some of these profess to give her authentic history with the marvellous elements sifted out; others include the miraculous incidents.
The following account of her life, as adapted to the more sober-minded readers of the present century, is summarised by me from a book entitled Mother Shipton and
[paragraph continues] Nixon's Prophecies, compiled from original and scarce editions by S. Baker, published in 1797, by Denley, Gate Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. The pamphlet gives information about the life of Nixon, a Cheshire prophet, also about Ursula Shipton, for Ursula is the real name of our heroine. She is stated by Baker to have been born in July 1488, in the reign of Henry VII, near Knaresborough, Yorkshire. She was baptised by the Abbot of Beverley, by the name of Ursula Sonthiel. "Her stature," adds her biographer, "was larger than common, her body crooked, her face frightful; but her understanding extraordinary."
Baker states that she was a pious person, who at the age of twenty-four was courted by one Toby Shipton, a builder, of Skipton, a village four miles north of York; soon afterwards they were married. She became known as Mother Shipton, and acquired fame by means of her extraordinary predictions.
When Cardinal Wolsey intended to remove his residence to York. she announced that he would never reach that city. The Cardinal sent three lords of his retinue in disguise, to inquire whether she had made such a prediction, and to threaten her if she persisted in it. She was then living in a village called Dring Houses, a mile to the west of the city. The retainers, led by a guide named Beasly, knocked at the door.
"Come in, Mr. Beasly, and three noble lords with you," said Mother Shipton.
She then treated them civilly, by setting out cakes and ale before them.
"You gave out," said they, "the Cardinal should never see York."
"No," she replied, "I said he might see it, but never come to it."
They responded, "When he does come, he'll surely burn thee."
"If this burn," said the Reverend Mother, "so shall I."
She then cast her linen handkerchief into the fire, allowed it to remain in the flames a quarter of an hour, and took it out unsinged.
One of her awe-stricken visitors then asked what she thought of him.
She answered "The time will come, my lord, when you shall be as low as I am, and that is low indeed."
This was judged to be verified when Thomas Lord Cromwell was beheaded.
Cardinal Wolsey, on his arrival at Cawood, ascended the Castle Tower, and while viewing York, eight miles off, vowed he would burn the witch when he reached there. But ere he descended the stairs, a message from the King demanded his presence forthwith, and while on his journey to London, he was taken ill and died at Leicester.
She accurately foretold the destruction by tempest of the Ouse Bridge and Trinity Church, York, in the following mystical language: "Before Ouze Bridge and Trinity Church meet, what is built in the day shall fall in the night, till the highest stone of the church be the lowest stone of the bridge."
Baker's booklet passed through two editions in 1797. He alleges that some of her prophecies therein were copied from an "original scroll delivered by her to the Abbot of Beverley; privately preserved in a noble family for many years, and lately discovered among other curious and valuable manuscripts." He states that she foretold the time of her death, and that after taking solemn leave of her friends she departed, with much serenity, A.D. 1651, when upwards of seventy years of age. A stone monument was erected to her memory on the high North Road, between the villages of Clifton and Skipton, about a mile from York. The monument represents a woman upon her knees, with her hands closed before her, in a praying posture, and "stands to be seen there to this day," (1797). The following is said to have been her epitaph:--
Here ly's she who never ly'd Whose skill often has been try'd Her Prophecies shall still survive, And she keep her name alive. |

With business moving faster than it ever has before, it seems to be a no-brainer that collaboration is something that your business needs to focus on to remain competitive. Fortunately, there are many technologies and strategies that can be leveraged to help your business keep its collaborative and communicative efforts front-and-center.
Fortunately, the biggest hurdle to collaboration isn't usually having the right solutions in the office, it's primarily making sure that these solutions are being put to use properly.
Consider your Internet setup – is it strong enough to wirelessly provide your entire office with connectivity, or would you be benefitted by implementing additional access points? Do you have the hardware needed to communicate and share data with mobile employees, and most importantly, can you properly secure all of it? Speaking of mobility, you will also want to consider if you want to provide your staff with company-owned mobile devices instead of leveraging a Bring Your Own Device Policy. There are options out there to procure these devices for well below retail rates, as long as these devices are bought in bulk.
Depending on your type of business, you may have more or less to do in order to promote collaboration in your organization. A brick-and-mortar establishment will likely have its resources centralized, which means that employees will need to have access to these resources in order to properly communicate with one another, sharing progress on their work. While a private cloud platform would serve this need quite well, these solutions are typically far too expensive for the average SMB to consider.
These SMBs do have other options. Cloud-hosted software allows a business to leverage just about any computing resources they need, whether its a productivity suite, a business management platform, or a communication tool. Adding to these benefits, these resources can be accessed wherever an Internet connection can be established thanks to an integrated access management system. This same system allows administrators to keep threats out of their network as well.
Finally, for there to be collaboration, there needs to be the policies in place that "encourage" (enforce) the stress-free sharing of pertinent data with team members. In other words, you need to know that you have a way for your employees to access the data they need to complete their tasks as the need arises.
Having these policies can be to your organization's advantage. While some of your data needs to be kept on a "need-to-know" basis, giving your employees some guidance to navigate how other data should be shared can help you to keep your business' data that much more secure. It also doesn't hurt that digital communications are becoming more of the norm, so it only makes sense to give your employees an outlet to communicate in what is likely their preferred manner.
In short, businesses are communicating in new and exciting ways. Not only should you not want to be left behind, you can't afford to be. For assistance in expanding your internal collaboration and business communications to fully embrace today's capabilities, reach out to DatCom, LLC's IT professionals at (903) 320-5330.

At some point a "prepared for delivery" version of NASA deputy administrator Lori Garver's speech Thursday might show up on the NASA web site, but it will likely be different from the speech she actually gave to kick off the Space Frontier Foundation's NewSpace 2011 Conference at NASA Ames Research Center in California. Garver instead scanned through the agenda of the three-day conference, using the topics of sessions ranging from orbital and suborbital commercial spaceflight to public-private partnerships to discuss a number of relevant issues, including the roles of the public and private sectors in space going forward.
"The whole basis and underpinning of what we are trying to do in this administration is to return NASA to that more classical role of our 1958 Space Act of investing in technologies that will then help create new markets, so that the private sector can come in, benefit from this technology investment, and then we move on to do the next hard thing," she said, summarizing the agency's approach of working with companies and catalyzing private sector activity in space. "We're not here to compete with the private sector—in fact, that's not legal," she added.
"That's not our only job," she noted. "Our job is also to expand farther." One thing that is not NASA's goal, though, she said, is to create a spacefaring civilization, a long-held goal of many space advocates in the conference audience—and of Garver herself, she noted, when she was the executive director of the National Space Society. "Go back to the Space Act. That's not it. We're here to push the envelope and learn new things." It's up to the private sector, she said, to follow that lead. "Your role of helping there to be folks who follow is what's really going to get" civilization moving off-world.
In her speech she touched upon a number of areas where NASA was taking this role of developing technologies and leading expansion into the solar system while working with the private sector, from its support for commercial and orbital spaceflight to a planned human mission to a near Earth asteroid in the middle of the next decade. On that last point, she emphasized that such a mission was a natural steppingstone towards further exploration, and a not another destination-driven goal that has been tried in the past unsuccessfully. "Destination-driven budgets are, we know, problematic," she said. "We've been trying to relive Apollo since the 1960s, but not successfully. Presidents make big statements, set goals and dates, and we don't meet them. So that is not what this is." She mentioned in passing that she had recently met with an unnamed company that claimed that it had a way of achieving that asteroid mission goal as soon as 2019.
She also said that low cost reliable access to space was a key goal of the current administration, one that it was willing to pursue despite the criticism that erupted last year with the announcement that NASA would cancel Constellation. "We've invested a lot of political capital on this, folks," she said. "The President of the United States has decided that this is an area for NASA to develop that is meaningful, that will open up space for all humanity."
"Does anyone think that the president has gained a lot of political ground over this shift at NASA?" she asked. "Probably it would have been the politically conservative thing to do to stick to the plan, not cancel existing contracts, even though those contracts were leading human spaceflight off a cliff."
During the brief Q&A session that followed her speech, someone asked Garver what the audience should to to help. She suggested helping communicate the broader message to the public. "We get into these debates in Washington about how a rocket's built or exactly what configuration this architecture will have. Is that the important thing? You guys know the important thing, which is that we do this in a way that doesn't take all of our NASA budget, so that we can go further."
