Last week, President Barack Obama announced a new $1 billion teacher program, the Master Teacher Corps, to aid and promote education in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We've spent a good deal of time on science and math content this summer. We've also talked about the importance of connecting literature to science and math. But we haven't directly addressed the gender gap in science fiction, a genre that tends to appeal to boys more than girls.
A blog from the New York Times earlier this year cited a 2010 study from the Codex Group, a consulting group for publishers found that 50 percent of young men cite science fiction titles as their favorite genre compared to only 26 percent of young female readers. The trend continues into adulthood as well. Thirty two percent of adult male book buyers report being science fiction fans while only 12 percent of adult women report an interest in science fiction titles. What is it about science fiction that appeals to males—but not females?
One explanation might begin by looking back on science fiction's ambivalent and somewhat limited gender constructions in media—something that really began in the 1960s with TV shows like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. Sure, Jeannie and Samantha had power that transcended mortal men (more specifically, their husbands), but ultimately, their power was, as cultural critic Marleen S. Barr puts it, "tempered at the request of the men in their lives."
Of course, the role of women in science fiction has apparently changed for the better by providing female viewers with an alternative to the traditional male, sci-fi hero. Think about characters like Scully from The X-Files or Ripley from the classic Aliens trilogy.
But strong, "female-centric," sci-fi characters don't begin and end with film. There are numerous science fiction books that appeal to girls that teachers can use to encourage them to try the genre:
- Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine L'Engle) This beloved, classic science fiction tale turned 50 this year and continues to draw a wide fan base of both boy and girl readers. The heroine of this tale, Meg Murry, is transported through time with her brother and friend in an effort to rescue her father from his evil entrapment on another planet. During the story Meg evolves from an awkward, shy young girl to a brave heroine who will boldly fight to save her father.
- The Girls from Alcyone (Cary Caffrey) Published in 2011, this story is set in 24th century Earth and chronicles the tale of Sigrid and Suko who are sold into slavery by their families to prevent full financial collapse. As servants of the Kimura Corporations they discover a secret inside themselves that is paramount for the survival and freedom of all girls in Alcyone
- Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 1 (Hayao Miyazaki) Set in a post-apocalyptic time this story revolves around the protagonist Nausicaa. As a princess, warrior, and peacekeeper she fights to save her small nation from environmental devastation. There is a second book in the story of Nausicaa that is equally as compelling and riveting as the first book.
- Feed (M.T. Anderson) The classic boy meets girl story is updated to science fiction proportions in this tale of digital corporate dystopia. Centered on the themes of individuality, education, and consumerism the story explores a world in which "Feed" (a type of world wide web) affects and controls society.
This is obviously a short list of titles that may appeal to both boy and girl readers of science fiction. There are many more comprehensive online lists of youth and young adult science fiction that provide even more quality titles, including:

How do you inspire your students to try a new genre that isn't their favorite? We'd love to hear from you.

Board praises schools PC plan
A leasing deal would put 11,000 new computers in Hernando schools.
By Tom Marshall, Times Staff Writer
Published February 20, 2008
BROOKSVILLE - School Board members glimpsed the future of computer technology Tuesday in Hernando County, and they liked what they saw.
That vision - 11,000 new computers installed in the district this summer under a four-year, $8.1-million leasing deal - won't get a formal vote until a future board meeting.
Information systems director Cindy Peters said it can't come too soon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're fighting a losing battle with obsolescence," she said at the start of a workshop presentation.
Three-quarters of the district's 10,474 computers are more than three years old, with some dating back to the previous century, Peters said.
Under the leasing deal, the board would pay about $2.3-million this year to Dell Computer, and nearly that much for the next three years, mostly from capital improvement funds.
In return, the district would get new machines and better technical support than any competitor could offer, Peters said. At the end of the lease, the board could buy the computers, or sell them to students for $60 or less and enter into an agreement for new machines.
Each teacher would get a laptop computer, and each elementary class would get four desktop models. Each elementary school would also get a computer lab or cart with 25 laptops for every 200 students. Middle and high schools would get a laptop cart for every 175 students.
Board member Sandra Nicholson asked a skeptical question about the $1-million in "green savings" anticipated under the deal, but finance director Deborah Bruggink said the numbers add up. Each of the 11,000 machines will cost $75 per year less in utility costs, and that savings will be redirected toward the price of the lease.
Other board members had nothing but praise for the plan.
"I think you're going to see a big change in attitude throughout the school system," said Pat Fagan. "This is like an early Christmas."
The plan will make "every school seem like a new school," added Dianne Bonfield. "So many of our schools have gone wanting for years and years."
In other business, the board voted 5-0 to suspend Westside Elementary teacher Jennifer Gallagher without pay, pending a due process hearing before the state Division of Administrative Hearings. Superintendent Wayne Alexander has called for her firing, alleging excessive absenteeism, absences without approved leave and gross insubordination.

Epig News: Pig's Milk Released on the Market
Pignoscenti nationwide, rejoice!
After months of research and testing, Swine and Dine, Inc. has finally announced the availability of pig's milk for commercial sale.
It is notoriously difficult to extract milk from sows, which have an average of 14 teats, far more than their bovine counterparts. In addition, the duration of milk flow is only 10 to 20 seconds, which means the yield from a pig is often low and unpredictable.
Swine and Dine's innovative pig milking machine, dubbed the "Super Suckler," harnesses the full milking potential of pigs through a patented harness system that attaches to pigs and stimulates them to lactate more frequently. The lightweight harness does not impede the pig's range or otherwise constrict its movements.
Marc Dalaker, a pig farmer from Pennsylvania, responded with excitement to the news: "I've been waiting for this for years! I mean, we all know that bacon, sausage and pork belly are some of the greatest gifts to man. Imagine just how great milk from a pig would be!"
Indeed, analysis of pig's milk reveals that it typically has a fat content of 8.5%, compared to 3.5% for cow's milk and 5-6% for goats. Initial reactions from a panel of taste testers were positive. "It's rich but not overly cloying, and it has a pleasant, fresh aroma with a hint of sweet corn and maple syrup," said Rebecca Demaris. "I think it'd be a great addition to your morning coffee or breakfast cereal."
The pig milk will be rolled out over the next week at select specialty shops and farmer's markets in the Northeast corridor. A quart-size container will be sold for $5.95. Additional plans are in the works for a line of pig's milk products, including porcorino cheese, porchata (a cinnamon and swine-spiced variant on horchata), porkgurt (yogurt), and pig's milk butter.
In related news, Smithfield Farms, the largest producer of pork products in the world, announced that it would halt the use of prophylactic antibiotics in their factory farms, as there was a verified report of a pig flying.

Syed Mahbubul Alam - WBB Programme manager
- Details
- Created on 21 July 2010
Syed Mahbubul Alam's career in tobacco control began when a transnational tobacco company sailed its yacht into Bangladesh in the hopes of finding new cigarette addicts.
British American Tobacco (BAT) owned the yacht, and had named it after one of its cigarette brands, the John Player Gold Leaf. In 1991, the yacht set sail on a "Voyage of Discovery" from London to 17 countries in 170 days, with the final destination being Chittagong - a port city in Bangladesh.
The voyage was a thinly veiled attempt by BAT to attract new smokers in targeted countries. As advertising for the voyage began to appear on billboards, in newspapers and at tobacco sales counters in these countries, civil liberties groups united in their outrage and began to plan ways to protest the voyage.
Dr Patrick Musavuli – FCA AFRO regional coordinator
- Details
- Created on 16 June 2010
Updated 26/6/2016 - Dr Patrick Musavuli is no longer an FCA regional coordinator.
If all African countries are to kick the tobacco epidemic they must ratify and implement the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), says Dr Patrick Musavuli – the Framework Convention Alliance's (FCA) newly appointed regional coordinator (RC) for the WHO Africa Region (AFRO).
As of June 1 Patrick began his new FCA appointment and is already immersed in his job, which involves coordinating FCA's campaign activities in the African region, and playing an integral role in the African Tobacco Control Consortium (ATCC).
Lutgard Kokulinda Kagaruki - Executive Director of Tanzania Tobacco Control Forum
- Details
- Created on 27 April 2010
Since its inception five years ago, the Tanzania Tobacco Control Forum (TTCF) has been vital in Tanzania's fight against tobacco consumption.
TTCF executive director Lutgard Kokulinda Kagaruki says the organization played a significant role during the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) ratification process in Tanzania during 2007 by re-educating MPs about tobacco not being vital for the country's economy.
Issah Ali – Executive Director of Vision for Alternative Development (VALD) -Ghana

- Created on 24 March 2010
Updated: 12/11/2013
Effective tobacco control in Ghana is crucial for the country to drastically reduce death and disease associated with tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke, says Issah Ali, Executive Director of Vision for Alternative Development (VALD).
Ali says that effective tobacco control in his country depends on proper implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and the Tobacco Control Measures of The Public Health Act 2012 (Act 851).
Ebeh Adayade Kodjo, executive director of Alliance Nationale des Consommateurs et de l'Environnement (ANCE-Togo)

(Updated 23/9/2013)
Tobacco is a serious cause of death in West Africa's Togo, and if nothing is done about this by 2030 it will kill more than 20 per cent of the country's population, says executive director of Alliance Nationale des Consommateurs et de l'Environnement (ANCE-Togo) Ebeh Adayade Kodjo.
"The current situation is alarming," he says. "We would like to invite donors to support us to change the situation, change lives and promote the sustainable development of Togo."

Politically, the Southern Arizona highlight of the National Defense Authorization Act was an amendment by Rep. Ron Barber, D-Arizona, which kept the A-10 airplane flying for another year.
The latest A-10 rolled off the assembly line in 1984, and for the past two year, the Air Force has tried to retire the plane as a cost saving measure.
The fight to keep the plane in the air was about more than just military readiness; it was also about the economy. In 2008, Arizona commissioned a study about the impact of the military on the state's economy, which found that active duty and National Guard units in the state pumped $9 billion into the economy that year.
In 2013, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base released a study of the base's economic impact on Southern Arizona, which was about $1 billion.
The state's study did not include the impact of the military industrial complex, which includes companies like Raytheon.
Latest filings say Raytheon Missile Systems sold $1.5 billion worth of products during the first quarter of this year. And the House Armed Service Committee approved a provision calling for the military's purchase of 96 additional Tomahawk cruise missiles, a weapon system made at the Raytheon facility in Tucson.
Last week, the chair of the House Armed Services Committee put a compromise forward. He suggested putting the plane in Type-1000 storage. But Barber's proposal to keep the A-10 flying was instead adopted by the committee.
Type-1000 storage means the planes would be kept at AMARG, or the Boneyard, in Tucson. The planes could not be cannibalized for parts, and instead they would be stored in a way that allows them to be returned to flight status if the Air Force needs them.
Officials at AMARG say returning the Type-1000 planes to flight status is a process that takes weeks to months. The amount of time is based on how long the planes have been in storage and what upgrades they need to become air worthy again.
Barber and others said the problem with putting the planes in Type-1000 storage is the loss of skills on the part of pilots and those tasked with maintaining the planes.
The full House and Senate still must approve the National Defense Authorization Act.

Beltsville volunteer firefighters responded to a call last Monday that was a first for them: assisting a motorist who reported that a kitten was trapped in his engine.
"We've heard of cats in trees but never cats in engines," firefighter Tom Robinson said. "I said, 'Its either a kitten, cat or squirrel,' but then I saw its beady little eyes and knew it was a kitten."
About 1:30 p.m., the firefighters headed to the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Ewing Road. The BMW driver told the firefighters he repeatedly heard a "meow" sound as he was driving.
He had pulled over into a parking lot and hoped to gain assistance from several people and companies he called, but none could help. Finally, he called the fire department.
The firefighters had a difficult time finding the tiny kitten, but after 45 minutes, they coaxed it out by banging on different parts of the engine. Firefighters reported it was in good shape and was taken back to the firehouse for the rest of the their shift.
As Monday was Columbus Day, the firefighters named the kitten Colombo, and Robinson kitten-sat until he could find a home for Colombo.
"The kitten now has a wonderful home with a loving mother and father," Robinson said. "She's actually going to be a watchcat and chase mice in a barn."

DEFINITION of '10-K Wrap'
A summary report of a company's annual performance that bundles the 10-K report required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with additional commentary from the company, covering such things as the corporate vision, letter to shareholders and business overview among other topics. The 10-K wrap is often released instead of a traditional annual report and generally contains fewer images and comments from management.
BREAKING DOWN '10-K Wrap'
The biggest difference between the traditional annual report and the 10-K wrap is the way in which the information is presented and how much additional information is included above the required 10-K information. The traditional annual report has a greater focus on comments from the company and the document includes more images and graphs to communicate performance and corporate objective.
By contrast, the 10-K wrap is essentially the 10-K filed with the SEC along with some additional editorial from the company - but not nearly as much as the annual report. It usually has a lower production cost because it is often printed on lower-quality paper.

Episode 11 – High Contrast Portrait Photoshop Effect Tutorial
Final Product:
Show Notes:
In this episode I show you how to create a grungy high contrast portrait effect in Photoshop CC/CS6. This technique is particularly useful when processing images for rock and roll shoots, or when taking pictures where showing the character and life experience is the aim. It will accentuate wrinkles and other flaws but bring out the character in the image. As always the file created and the files used to create this effect can be found below.
Files Used:
The RAW file (Canon .CR2) and .XMP sidecar file with corrections can be found here:

Say That You Had a Year...
This idea comes from last night's episode of No Reservations, with Anthony Bourdain. For part of the episode we saw him trying out various places that might serve as good homes, since he had been thinking of potentially moving his family to Vietnam for a year for the experience.
So, the question is: If you had a year and could live in any *one* place to really get to know the culture and especially the food, where would you go and why?
For me, I had been thinking about this, and it is a toss-up. On the one hand, I would love to learn more about Japan's food culture - how it developed, what it means, how to make it all (the real way), et cetera. However, on the other hand, after living in Malta, I have a strong passion to try to keep those foodways alive, and would love to live there again for another year and learn about the food and the history and try to preserve those traditional meals and treats that I fear are being displaced by all of the English tourists that seem to swarm the country these days.
What about you?

It took until the mid-50's to recognize that tourism could be one of the major economical backbones of St. Maarten. As of that time, Mr. A.C. (Claude) Wathey, Mr. Clem Labega and other influential public and private leaders commenced launching an initiative to develop the island into a preferred tourist destination in the region.
Travel writers were invited to the island to write about the island and slowly, as a result of these travel articles back in the United States of America, a few adventurous visitors came to the island. In those days there was only one guesthouse, the Seaview Hotel with only five rooms. The Passangrahan Royal Inn had three rooms, and in 1955 an enterprising Dutch group arrived to construct the Little Bay Beach Hotel with twenty-four rooms.
Prior to the construction of the Deep Water Pier in Pointe Blanche, the wharf in Philipsburg was the island's principal port entry for inter-island vessels that included the Tricksy, The Blue Peter, the Hertha, the Aura, the Catalina, and the Antillia. There was one ship per month from the United States of America and sea connection with Curacao and Aruba was twice a month.
Being strategically located, St. Maarten experienced continuous growth in annual cruise passenger arrivals. In 1980, 194 cruise ships called at Great Bay Port while in 1989 that number increased by more than 2 ½ times to 497 ships. There were 105,000 passenger arrivals in 1980 as compared to 616,910 cruise passengers at the end of 1990, reflecting a strong growth in cruise. In the year 2003, for the first time well over 1 million visitors were welcomed to the shores of St. Maarten and nowadays, 1.5 million visitors enjoy the many attractions of the island anually.

VR-STEP: Walking-in-Place using Inertial Sensing for Navigation in Mobile VR Environments
|Low-cost smartphone adapters can bring virtual reality to the masses, but input is typically limited to using head tracking. Walking-in-place (WIP) offers a natural, and more immersive form of virtual locomotion that can reduce VR motion sickness. WIP, however, is difficult to implement in mobile contexts as it typically relies on bulky controllers or an external camera. We present VR-step; a low latency WIP implementation using real-time pedometry achieved using a smartphone's inertial sensors and that requires no instrumentation.
Accuracy of Pedometry Using a Head-mounted Display
|The accuracy of pedometry varies depending on where an inertial sensor is located on the body. Motivated by the increasing popularity of wearable computing, we investigate the accuracy with which pedometry can be achieved on a head-mounted display, i.e, Google Glass. A study with 16 subjects compares the accuracy of pedometry for walking and running with an inertial sensor located at the head, pocket and hand/arm. Our study did not detect a significant difference in step counting accuracy between sensor locations, which demonstrates the feasibility of pedometry-based apps for head-mounted displays. Published at CHI 2015.
SIMVIZ: Simulation of Visual Impairments Using a Wearable See-through Display
|Simulation of a visual impairment may lead to a better under- standing of how individuals with visual impairments perceive the world around them. We present a simulation tool (SIMVIZ) that mounts a wide angle camera on a head-mounted display to create a see-through stereoscopic display that simulates various types and levels of visual impairments. SIMVIZ enables quick accessibility inspections during iterative software development. Published at TEI 2015.
Headlock: a Navigation Aid that Helps Blind Cane Users Traverse Open Spaces
|Traversing large open spaces is a challenging task for blind cane users, as such spaces are often devoid of tactile features that can be followed. Consequently, in such spaces cane users may veer from their intended path. We present Headlock, a navigation aid for an optical head-mounted display (Google Glass) that helps blind users traverse large open spaces by letting them lock onto landmark across the space, such as a door. Headlock then provides audio feedback to guide the user towards the locked on landmark. Published at ASSETS 2014.
The Blind Driver Challenge: Steering using Haptic Cues
|Loss of vision significantly impairs mobility, with blind individuals often relying on sighted individuals or public transportation to get around. Self-driving vehicles could significantly improve the mobility of blind people, but current legislation often requires a legal driver to be present in the vehicle who can take over in case of a malfunction. To enable blind people to eventually use a self-driving car independently, we present a steering interface that allows for steering a vehicle using haptic cues. Published at ASSETS 2014.
VISKI: An Exergame to Improve Balance in Children who are Blind
|Children with visual impairments often exhibit delays in motor development that are byproducts of predominantly sedentary behaviors during the developmental years. To address this health issue, we developed a novel non-visual skiing exergame that is played using a pressure-sensitive input controller (Wii Balance Board) and haptic cues provided using a motion-sensing controller. A user study with eleven children who were blind found a significant improvement in balancing skills. Published at FDG 2014.
AUTOSEM: A Communication Aid for Users who are Deafblind
|Users who are congenitally deaf blind face major challenges in communicating with other people rely on an intervener with who they communicate with using a manual sign language. We present a bimanual communication aid, called AUTOSEM that uses combinations of different orientations of both hands to define a set of semaphores that can represent an alphabet. A significant benefit of our technique is that it uses both hands and it can be implemented using low-cost motion sensing devices. Published at Haptics 2014.
ViziCal: Accurate Energy Expenditure Prediction for Playing Exergames
|In recent years, exercise games have been criticized for not being able to engage their players into levels of physical activity that are high enough to yield health benefits. A major challenge in the design of exergames is that it is difficult to assess the amount of physical activity an exergame yields, due to limitations of existing techniques, such as heart rate or accelerometers. We present a technique called Vizical that uses depth sensor (Kinect) to accurately predict energy expenditure in real-time, with a much higher accuracy than existing techniques. Published at UIST 2013.
GIST: Wearable Gestural Interface for Remote Spatial Perception
|Spatial perception is a challenging task for people who are blind due to the limited functionality and sensing range of hands. We present GIST, a wearable Gestural Interface that offers Spatial percepTion functionality through the novel appropriation of the user's hands into versatile sensing rods. Using a wearable depth-sensing camera, GIST analyzes the visible physical space and allows blind users to access spatial information about this space using different hand gestures. User studies demonstrate the feasibility of GIST to perform spatial interaction tasks such as finding an object or approaching a person. Published at UIST 2013.
Spatial Gestures using a Tactile-Proprioceptive Display
|Spatial interaction in natural user interfaces requires users to visually acquire the location of an object, which can then be manipulated using a touch or gesture. This is challenging if you are unable to see or in mobile contexts where the use of a display may be undesirable. This project explores proprioception combined with vibrotactile feedback to appropriate the human body to become a display device that can point out the location of an object, which the user can then interact with using a spatial gesture. Published at TEI 2012.
Haptic Interface for Non-Visual Steering
|Glare significantly diminishes visual perception, and is a significant cause of traffic accidents. We present a novel haptic interface that relies on an intelligent vehicle position system to indicate when, in which direction and how far to steer, as to facilitate steering without any visual feedback. Our interface may improve driving safety when a driver is temporarily blinded, for example, due to glare or fog. Published at IUI 2013.
Navatar: Navigating Blind Users in Indoor Spaces using Tactile Landmarks
|Indoor navigation systems for users who are visually impaired typically rely upon expensive physical augmentation of the environment or expensive sensing equipment; consequently few systems have been implemented. We present an indoor navigation system called Navatar that: (1) exploits the physical characteristics of indoor environments, (2) takes advantage of the unique sensing abilities of users with visual impairments, and (3) minimalistic sensing achievable with low cost accelerometers available in smartphones. Published at CHI 2012.
TWuiST: A Mobile Tactile-Proprioceptive Display for Ear and Eye Free Interaction
|Complex motor operations are entirely driven by proprioception; something mobile interfaces may be able to exploit to achieve robust eye and ear free forms of interaction. Existing research has predominantly focused on exploring display less mobile input. This project explores the use of proprioception as an output modality by combining kinesthetic information of a mobile device with vibrotactile feedback, where a different orientation indicates a different message. Published at HAPTICS 2012.
Real-time Sensory Substitution to Enable Blind Players to Play Gesture based Games
|Users who are blind can play video games using compensatory types of feedback, such as audio or haptics. Unfortunately commercial video games are closed source, which makes adapting them to provide compensatory feedback impossible. This project explores using real time video analysis to detect cues that indicate to the player what to do and when and then provide these as compensatory cues to a visually impaired player. Real time sensory substitution was implemented using Kinect. Published at FDG 2011.
Syntherella: Feedback Synthesizer for exploring Virtual Worlds using Speech
|Generating textual descriptions to allow users with visual impairments to access virtual worlds using synthetic speech is challenging as virtual worlds are often densely populated with objects. This often results in very large descriptions, which may overwhelm users with feedback. Alternatively users could iteratively query their environment but this makes interaction slow. We present a synthesis technique that can compile more succinct textual descriptions while at the same time minimizing the required number of queries. Published at FDG 2011.
Navigating a 3D Avatar using a Single Switch
|Users with severe motor impairments interact with computers using a switch which replaces the use of a keyboard or a mouse, which they may be unable to use. Navigating an avatar in a 3D virtual world is non-linear and requires players to holding a key or hold two or more keys which is difficult to provide using a switch. A new switch scanning system called hold-and-release was developed. Using simulation hold-and-release scanning was found to be significantly more efficient than existing scanning systems. Published at FDG 2012.
Pet-N-Punch: Upper Body Tactile/Audio Exergame
|Previous studies with tactile/audio exergames found their users to participate into moderate physical activity, but health guidelines recommend children to engage into 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity a day. This project explores whether a tactile/audio exergame that use both arms generates a higher active energy expenditure (vigorous) than a game that only uses a single arm for playing the game. Published at GI 2011.
VI-Bowling: A Tactile Spatial Exergame for Individuals with Visual Impairments
|Physical activities typically consist of temporal and spatial challenges that predominantly rely upon eye hand coordination. Bowling is an activity that purely relies upon spatial challenges. We developed a bowling based exergame that can be played with a motion sensing controller. A technique called ``tactile dowsing'' guides the player to point their controller at the pins using directional vibrotactile feedback, which allows for providing a directed gesture at the pins. Published at ASSETS 2010.
VI-Tennis: a Vibrotactile/Audio Exergame for Players who are Visually Impaired
|Lack of physical activity is a serious health concern for individuals who are blind as they have fewer opportunities to engage in physical activity. As a result user who are blind have much higher levels of obesity. We developed a tennis based exergame involving a temporal challenge that can be played using audio/haptic cues using a motion sensing controller. User studies at a sports camp for blind children found this game to engage their users into moderate physical activity. Published at FDG 2010.
Seek-n-Tag: A Game for Labeling and Classifying Virtual World Objects
|We identified that virtual worlds that consist of user generated content often lack metadata for their objects. To make virtual worlds accessible to users with visual impairments this is a problem as they rely upon textual descriptions to be available that can be read with a screen reader or tactile display. This project explores human computation to collect labels for virtual world objects using a scavenger hunt game. These labels can then be used to train a classifier to automatically recognize objects without a name. Published at GI 2010.
TextSL: A Command-Based Virtual World Interface for the Visually Impaired
|Virtual worlds offer rich 3D environments for social interaction, but they are inaccessible to users with visual impairments as they are entirely visual and lack any textual representation that can be read with a screenreader or tactile display. We implemented a natural language interface on top of Second Life that produces textual output that can be read with a screen reader. Various input commands are implemented that allows the user to issue spatial queries, navigate their avatar and interact with the Second Life world. Published at ASSETS 2009.
Blind Hero: Guitar Hero for the Visually Impaired
|Guitar Hero is a popular music game in which players simulate the playing of rock music through a guitar-shaped controller. This game relies upon being able to perceive visual cues that indicate what input to provide and when. This game is not accessible to users with visual impairments. The presence of music in this game makes it difficult to use audio for sensory substitution. We explore the use of vibrotactile feedback provided using a custom glove we developed that has vibrotactors attached to each finger. Published at ASSETS 2008.

The American Guild of Judaic Art is an international not-for-profit membership organization for those with interests in the Judaic arts and dedicated to the promotion of Jewish art and culture in society. Its membership includes Jewish artists, galleries, museum curators, collectors, retailers of Judaica, writers, educators in the field of Jewish studies and art history, and others professionally involved in the field. The Guild can suggest educational workshops, lectures, seminars and outreach programs both for artists and for the general public. Members come from the USA, Canada, Israel, Italy, Holland, The Netherlands, and Japan and continue to grow.
The organization sponsors and promotes an annual "Jewish Arts Month" each March in which it encourages synagogues, community centers, libraries, and schools throughout North America to host activities and exhibitions relating to and showcasing Jewish art. This special month corresponds with the Torah (Old Testament) reading of Parshat Vayakhel from Exodus: 35:1-38:20 where the first Jewish artisan, Bezalel, is introduced with descriptions of his designs to build the Mishkan (Tabernacle).
AGJA initiatives include expanding AGJA exhibition opportunities, community outreach programs, a student artist mentor program, and collaborative educational connections to bring art, inspired by Jewish text, tradition, ritual, and personal experience to those who appreciate or want to learn more about the world of Jewish art. The email newsletter, HIDDUR, is distributed quarterly and members can also connect anytime on Facebook or LinkedIn.
"Membership in the American Guild of Judaic Art is a heart warming experience. As its name implies, the Guild is a vibrant, living fortress of Jewish Arts. Members are not merely welcomed to the Guild, they are embraced. The force of unity inherent in its rare combination of talent, passion, intellect and spirituality defines and exemplifies the purpose the Guild. What distinguishes this guild from others, however, is the precision, intensity and pride in which its members convey their love of Judaism through their artistic works. I am honored to display my Judaic sculpture (some taking years to create) in the Gallery, and I am inspired by fellow artist- members by simply viewing their works and reading Hiddur. The Guild's website, moreover, literally dotes on members' artistic and creative achievements. I am in my sixties, and I intend to contribute to this truly wonderful organization as long as my hands can chip away at stone." Larry Schloss, Judaic Sculptor.
"Ten years ago, I received an email that changed my life. It began like this, "I saw your work on the Guild of American Judaic Art website and I wondered if you would be interested in creating a piece of artwork for our Synagogue?" That email and subsequent commissions from that first project, opened up a new direction to my Judaic art career. I have the AGJA to thank for that…" – Bonnie Cohen, AGJA member

The student government association at another public university in Kansas has gone on record opposing concealed carry of firearms on campus.
The Student Senate at Pittsburg State University adopted that position on a vote of 22-16 Wednesday night. The university's administration had already stated its opposition to concealed carry. The Pittsburg Morning Sun reports the vote followed an informal survey that showed 53 percent of students at the southeastern Kansas university in favor of allowing concealed carry, with 44 percent opposed. All other student government organizations at Kansas regents institutions have approved resolutions opposing concealed weapons on their campuses.

Katie Price Reality Show: Coming to Fox?by Free Britney at . Comments
Katie Price, a.k.a. Jordan, is a pretty big name in the UK.
Best known for her work in reality TV, posing in her underwear, posing in less than her underwear, having kids and getting married a lot, the lingerie model has etched a permanent place for herself in the annals of British tabloid lore.
But we here in the USA, she's not that well known. Yet.
Word has it that FOX is interested in a new reality show starring Jordan. It's not really clear what Katie Price's reality show entails, but she explains:
It's taken nearly a year to set this contract up. We're thinking of doing the road trip from New York to Los Angeles. I want a big Priscilla-style van."
"You've got to make it fun. Cameras will be in the van. That's what we're working on. I'll be in America in September and they're trying to work it out. I'm not trying to be famous or massive, I'm just doing what I do."
What that is, we really don't know. But sounds awesome.

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson is "convinced" that Luis Suarez believes that he will sign for Arsenal this summer.
The Gunners are reported to have lodged two rejected bids for the controversial Uruguayan striker - one offer is said to be worth £40,000,001 - following his comments that he wants to leave Anfield.
"Arsene Wenger bangs on about having money to spend, but the reality is he doesn't like spending it," Lawrenson wrote in the Liverpool Daily Post. "But I'm convinced Suarez believes he is going to be an Arsenal player.
"The evidence all points to that. And if he thinks he might have to stay at Liverpool, I'm sure there will be a different modus operandi from Suarez and his agent."
Reports have claimed that Liverpool will not consider a bid less than £50m for Suarez.

difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's
-Tommy Lasorda
During the holidays and with the extra calories you take in with
parties and goodies, make sure you focus on lots of cardio this
month to help keep the holiday pounds off. Hit the treadmills, stair
climbers, aerobic classes, and elliptical. Also, make sure you don't
skip your exercise for the holiday stress as well. Enjoy your families.
Again, I can't stress it enough this month. The key is to mix it
up! Do not stick to one piece of cardio equipment, or the same group
fitness class all week. Mix it up!!!

Warning! This is what the Top Players on Travian don't want you to know!!! Is there a Playing Strategy that could launch you to the Top Ranks of Travian every time?
"The World's best Travian players and World Wonder hosts come together to reveal their secrets for easily dominating the Travian world. Once you learn these simple, but ingenious strategies, you'll consistently win the Top Robber award, Top Attacker, Top Defender and so much more…"
Top Travian player on four consecutive international servers…
Travian Strategy Guide
Some of my Travian awards. . . 😛 😛 😛
Four times World Wonder Host. . . 😛 😛 😛
This is my World Wonder Hammer. . . 😛 😛 😛
And this is the book I wrote. . . 😛 😛 😛
Travian Strategy Guide contains all the playing strategies which me and my team used to launch us to the top of the server ranks.
If you'd like to become an Elite Travian player, win medals and awards, host a World Wonder village, fight an alliance war, and save time playing the game, then this website contains all the playing strategies you're going to need to kick ass on the server…
Here's why:
The Only Travian Strategy Guide written by REAL Top Players that guides you step-by-step with proven Tips, Tricks, Tactics & Strategies You Need to Take On & Dominate the Competition.
Three Reasons To Believe What I Say
- Reason One: I finished my last server as a Top 20 Attacker, Top 20 Defender, and Top 20 Overall Rank. With 38 villages under my belt, I achieved my highest Offense Rank – Number 2. And highest Defense Rank – Number 1.
Competing with almost 30,000 players on the server, that puts me into the Top 0.1 percent bracket of the players.
- Reason Two: I was the leader of the Number One Alliance on the server TWICE in a row. I masterminded the entire end game strategy and was the commander-in-chief for my alliance and our meta-alliance. No WW Army was sent if I did not give the okay.
- Reason Three: I hosted the World Wonder village for my alliance FOUR TIMES. I also sat for other WW hosts, giving me vast experience on the build order and how others build their World Wonder village.
And did I mention, I also built the third largest World Wonder Army on my last server.
I am also a Retired Travian player… 😛 😛 😛
I am Peter Young and this is the strategy manual I never expected to write.
On this website, I invite you to stick around and browse the strategies I used for dominating the Travian server. These are REAL strategies, written with REAL playing experience by Top players on the server. So you know you're not reading some silly blog written by an amateur wanna be pro player.
You'll find this is a complete guide, broken into eight chapters :-
- Before You Begin
- Game Concepts
- The Early Game
- Advanced Techniques
- Defensive Strategies
- Offensive Strategies
- Alliance Strategies
- The End Game
You can use the navigation bar on the top to access the content.
I retired on Travian 3.5, due to Real Life issues. In Travian, they call it RL issues. But you can take these concepts presented here and apply them even on later Travian versions because most of the game fundamentals have barely changed.

Schlumberger is reaching north of the border to gain assets in the south.
On Sunday, driller
Saxon Energy is the jewel of Canadian drillers, said BMO Capital Markets-Canada analyst Michael Mazar, adding that the C$7.00 price tag is a little light.
With oil prices and demand surging, global drilling activity has picked up dramatically. However, demand for drilling equipment in the heavily exploited North American market has been flat or even decreased slightly.
Saxon has drilling rigs in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru, as well as in the U.S. and Canada.
Based on Saxons Friday closing price of C$6.87 ($6.75), the agreed upon per share price of the acquisition agreement is basically a zero premium on the deal, Mazar said.
Saxons board and management, who own 14% of the 84.7 million outstanding shares, disagreed. The agreement was unanimously approved by the board, chaired by
Mazar argued that Saxon should push to get as much as C$8.00 ($7.86) per share in the deal but, due to a lack of activist shareholders, it is unlikely to do so. Saxon agreed not to solicit or initiate discussions regarding an alternate acquisition.
Still, Saxon has been doing fairly well on its own which begs the question as to why it is selling at all. Its stock is up 34.0% over the last 12 months, and it reported a top line increase of 31.5% to revenue of C$72.2 million in its first quarter, ended March 31. Profits did not reflect the revenue increase however, and Saxon reported a 36.3% net income decline to C$5.1 million due largely to major repairs and unfavorable exchange rates.
Mazar suggested that Saxon could do as well as its been doing as a continuing entity, and questioned the companys motive for selling. He offered that strict regulations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may have been making it too difficult to continue operating as a public company, and that if it goes private it would still be able to execute its growth plans.
For Schlumberger, acquiring Saxon is just a drop in the bucket, Mazar said. Schlumberger operates a joint venture with Saxon involving 11 drilling rigs in Mexico and Colombia, but does not wholly own any rigs.
Shares of Saxon Energy Services were up 10 Canadian cents (9.8 cents), or 1.5%, to close at C$6.97 ($6.85) in trading Monday.

The business minister told an audience at the Festival of Business that he was determined to drive regulatory reform into the EU and insisted the Government's commitment on cutting red tape was having "an extraordinary disciplinary effect onWhitehall".
The Coalition has introduced a 'one-in, one-out' system which required that ministers seeking to implement new regulations that impose costs on businesses first have to identify existing measures of "equal value" that can be removed. Mr Fallon said the policy had saved companies £850m in two-and-a-half years.
He admitted there was a perception that the policy had "run out of steam" and that even he shared the view until he joined the business department in the recent reshuffle.
"It hasn't. There's a big programme going on. We will be the first modern Government to leave office with less regulation on the books than when we came in."
Mr Fallon, who has said he will chase ministers "up and down Whitehall" to ensure the red tape pledges are met, also promised to pressure the European Union into streamlining its approach to new rules.
EU laws are exempt from 'one-in, one-out'. "I have confronted the [European] Commission directly – to set a numerical target for regulations they would remove, for common commencement dates [for new regulation] and a robust independent impact assessment before draft regulations are published."
Mr Fallon also called on banks to "step up to the plate" by delivering affordable finance to small businesses.
A poll of delegates at the event in Manchester yesterday found 84pc said their relationship with their bank had either deteriorated or stayed the same since the start of the financial crisis.
"Banks have had a lot of help from the Bank of England and government I am concerned that not enough money is getting out of the door to businesses and at the right price. We wouldn't need [Vince Cable's £1bn] business bank if banks were in the business of banking." Another poll revealed that 57pc of the business owners in the audience thought George Osborne's 'shares-for-employment-rights' proposal for fast growing companies was a bad idea.
Mr Fallon defended it as an "interesting proposal" that "gets away from the idea that everything should be prescribed by the state" although he admitted it was a "niche idea".

Initially, you should mostly focus on becoming a technically stronger and more productive programmer. There are lots of tips to help with this (and many are in the other answers), but I won't talk about them here. Instead, I'll mention three longer-term, more philosophical points that are a bit counter-intuitive but that in my own experience seem to be understood by the very best engineers -- and that may be helpful to think about early (and also later) on in your programming career.
Code is for humans, not for computers.
As you begin programming, the challenge is simply to get a computer to do what you want it to do. You might think of it as communicating with the computer, and it can even be fun to do this in as direct a way as possible, such as in assembly language. As the novelty wears off, most programmers realize this can be difficult and an inefficient use of their time and so whenever possible use higher-level languages and frameworks that are easier to write in.
But there is a more subtle point even some experienced programmers forget: As systems evolve, more time will be spent reading, debugging, and changing the code than writing it. Really, in software engineering, the true goal of writing code is not to give the computer (or more generally, the distributed system) commands, but to communicate to yourself and to other engineers what the whole system should do. As a side effect, you produce code that works (and, if you're good at it, also runs efficiently). Seek and build languages and frameworks that support communication with people. Becoming a better software engineer is as much about finding ways to convey what the code does in a clean, maintainable, and understandable way, as it is about deep hacks.
You never "don't need to know that."
On the other hand, don't misconstrue the previous point as saying you should only program at a high level and not worry about lower-level parts of a system. As you begin using complex tools and working on larger teams, you can often do a lot without understanding some details, because the system supports you, or because someone else is handling that other part of the system. If you use an ArrayList in Java, you don't have to do anything to resize or to free the memory. If you use a remote filesystem like NFS, you can treat it a file on another server just like a local file. If you use a library from someone, you don't need to read its source code.
This is a convenience. But never forget (or neglect learning) what's really going on. You do need to worry about that stuff. You might be writing in Python, but have you ever looked at the source code for Python's libraries or the interpreter? If you are using an API that has 100ms latency, do you know how much is network, how much is disk, how much is CPU? When Firefox makes an HTTP request, how many sockets does it use, and which headers does it send and why? When you run "top" in Linux, do you know what every number on the screen means? In any real engineering situation, this stuff will come up, eventually. Be lazy about how much code you write, but never be lazy about knowing what's going on under the hood. Become a sponge for technical information. Prod yourself into learning new programming languages or working on new kinds of projects on a regular basis. This is one of the most important differences between average and great engineers.
Technologies don't matter.
Programmers like to talk about technology. Is Ruby better than Python? Which RPC layer is faster? Should certain data be stored in Cassandra or MySQL? This is great, and you should know and have opinions about those topics (especially if you've followed the advice in the previous point). But quite surprisingly, if you look at successful and unsuccessful engineering efforts, there is essentially no correlation between success and the exact types of technologies that are used. What matters is who is working on a team, how they use the technologies, and how they work together to build, ship, and improve a product. Good software engineering is done by good software engineers. It's rarely done with the perfect programming language, or using the most hyped new technology. A lot of the hardest challenges in software development concern the way people communicate and manage complex code, systems, and processes, not in raw technology.
There are many important corollaries to this: Pick programming languages you or your team use well, or are aligned with the market, or are popular enough you can hire folks. Be pragmatic, not religious about how you solve problems. Learn by working with great engineers of all types, and seeing how they solve problems. Realize that having a strong team with a good engineering culture is more important than any particular technology.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch this direct message to President Obama from a former practicing Muslim from the "moderate" county of Morocco. Tomorrow we know President Barack Hussein Obama will deliver a speech on his strategy to defeat, destroy, degrade – whatever — ISIS. However, it is my hope that Obama will have seen this video and come to the realization that this conflict is not just about ISIS — which could be destroyed in a week if we had the resolve, not three years! It is about Islam.
This is an ideology, a movement, a theocratic-political totalitarian supremacist belief that is intent on global domination and it must be destroyed. Without that recognition, any attempt from a strategic level for victory will fall short.
It is simple. When President Ronald Reagan was asked about defining victory in the Cold War he responded simply, "we win, they lose." Instead today we have President Obama who continues to say what his strategy is not — no ground troops, no second Iraq War. And hence why his "strategy proposes a three-year promulgation of actions — all because of a lack of determined resolve. The message sent to ISIS is clear: go ahead, behead Americans while we try to convince others to fight you.
The 22 nations of the Arab League are talking about cutting off ISIS financial resources — yeah right — especially when countries like Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, and members of the royal House of Saud are providing financial support. ISIS has declared war against the United States and we need to respond — WE need to respond. And how does Obama know it's going to take three years? This is just like the Obama "surge" in Afghanistan and the defined timeline stated before it even began — hardly an astute strategic decision making premise.
What will be our domestic strategy to defeat the infiltration and recruitment of ISIS and other Islamist fighters? How will we send a clear diplomatic message to those nations supporting ISIS (as we discussed yesterday). How does the United States track down terrorist funding, not only to ISIS, and sanction it and cut it off? How do we develop a dedicated information operation to defeat Islamist ideology — as Brother Rachid articulates?
But more importantly, will we EVER develop the intestinal fortitude to meet groups like ISIS on the field of battle and crush them, with no restrictive Rules of Engagement, just focused and targeted killing? And that means wherever they are and run.
A strategy is a good thing, only if it is executed — which is what we shall be looking for. As well, we learn in the military that no plan survives first contact — will Obama be adaptive and insightful enough to realize this is a game of chess and not checkers and counter the Islamo-fascist enemy?
And why is it that Obama is delivering this strategy speech Wednesday when most Americans — well those who can — are working. Why not in prime time when this nation can be attentive, not distracted? This is much too important. It would be great to have a president who from the Oval Office resolute desk looks into the eyes of the American people and our allies — more importantly into the eyes of our enemies — and demonsrates strength of character, conviction and commitment to defend the honor of our Republic and its citizens. And furthermore, defends the foundational principles of liberty and freedom against the darkness of the followers of Mohammed — as Brother Rachid explains.
I predict that once again, Obama will just placate, give a speech, and simply leave this cancer for the next president to remove. If that is the case, then my fellow Americans, we don't need another naive Islamist sympathizing intransigent anti-war ideologue. We will need a visionary, tough, intellectual, statesman — and above all, a warrior.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns are playing it safe with Trent Richardson.
Cleveland's star running back will not play in the club's exhibition opener on Thursday night against the St. Louis Rams as he continues to recover from an injured right shin. Richardson was accidentally kicked in the shin — the same one he hurt during spring practice — last week, and the Browns won't risk him hurting it further.
"We're going to be smart," coach Rob Chudzinski said following Wednesday's practice, which was moved indoors because of heavy rain.
Chudzinski said Richardson could have played if it was a regular-season game, but the Browns are being careful with the former first-round pick, who has had a history with injuries and played most of last season with two broken ribs.
Chudzinski said he is not concerned about Richardson's durability.
"It's the preseason, we have a plan of working him and making sure that he gets reps as needed out here in practice and we build him to be ready for the beginning of the season," Chudzinski said.
Richardson did not play in any of Cleveland's exhibition games a year ago, when he was recovering from minor knee surgery. He recently said one of his goals was to play in all four of Cleveland's preseason games. Richardson took part in some drills on Wednesday, but was not on the field during team activities.
Chudzinski said Richardson understands the reasons for the Browns keeping him out.
Richardson rushed for 950 yards and caught 51 passes for 367 yards as a rookie. He played in 15 games, missing only the finale at Pittsburgh with an ankle injury sustained the previous week at Denver.
Chudzinski said Dion Lewis will start in Richardson's spot. Also, starting strong safety T.J. Ward (hamstring) and starting guard Shawn Lauvao (ankle) will also sit out against the Rams.
The Browns plan to play their starters for about one quarter, meaning quarterback Brandon Weeden will only have a few series to impress Cleveland's coaching staff and maybe silence some critics who don't think he's Cleveland's long-term answer at QB.
Weeden has showed progress during training camp, and seems more comfortable with the Browns' new offense.
His goals against the Rams are pretty simple.
"Just string together consecutive good plays, string together couple good drives, just get the feel of the game," he said. "It's a little different than practice, obviously there's going to be some emotions, there's going to be a lot more adrenaline and stuff like that. So I think it's just put together a couple good drives and completions and just manage the game and do the things I need to do to move the ball up the field."
The Browns' defense has had the upper hand during recent practices, but Weeden feels Cleveland's offense is starting to gel.
"We're making strides," he said. "We have a long ways to go. I don't think we're where we need to be. I think if you ask anybody, they'd all say the same thing, we've got a long ways to go. I still feel good about the guys we have. I'm excited about the potential we have offensively. Once you get in the game and you get those live reps you can get a better understanding, because it's tough when you go against your defense all the time and they have a pretty good idea what you're doing and you know what they're doing.
"So we'll see, but we've got some work to do."
On defense, the Browns will get their first chance to unleash an aggressive scheme that has been installed by new coordinator Ray Horton, who spent the past two seasons in Arizona.
Cornerback Joe Haden said the Browns are eager to go against another team, if for no other reason than to break up the monotony of training camp.
"We just want to be able to hit somebody else besides our own teammates," Haden said. "Honestly, see how the scheme works. See how when we're in practice and we're blitzing against our offense and sometimes we get to the quarterback and have to back off. How it looks when you really just get to go all out and if the quarterback is really going to have to release it or if the offensive line is going to pick up the blocks.
"It's going to be really good to see in a game-time situation how the blitzes really work."
NOTES: Rookie CB Leon McFadden (groin) and RB Montario Hardesty (hamstring) will also sit out the preseason opener. McFadden missed his first practice on Wednesday. … Johnson Bademosi will start for Ward and Jason Pinkston will replace Lauvao at right guard. … The Browns will honor Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown at their nationally televised Oct. 3 game against Buffalo. The team did not provide any specifics about the tribute but said "the event figures to be among the most singular memories in the team's rich timeline."

Discussion Forums
Statistics Canada kindly offered to host the 2017 UNECE Data Collection Workshop. It was held from 10 to 12 October in Ottawa, Canada.
The objective of this workshop was to identify innovative ways and best practices in statistical data collection, and to provide a platform for practitioners to exchange experiences and foster collaboration in this area. In addition to the more traditional presentations, the agenda of the workshop included target-driven small group discussions to identify best practices and new opportunities. The target audience for the workshop includes senior and middle-level managers responsible for data collection activities and new data sources, across all statistical domains from Statistical Offices and other agendies from national and international statistical systems.
The programme of the workshop consisted of the following substantive topics:
- Modernisation of data collection management and integration of data collection infrastructures and technologies;
- Use of new technologies, skills and mind-set for data collection;
- Alternative sources and ways of data collection to reduce survey burden;
- Communication with respondents; and
- Data collection by collaboration and coproduction.
Fourth Data Collection Workshop 2016:
The 2016 UNECE Workshop on Statistical Data Collection: 'Visions on Future Surveying' was held back-to-back with the Workshop on Statistical Dissemination and Communication. It was well attended with nearly 140 unique participants for the joint day of the workshops and over 90 participants for the Data Collection Workshop itself. Participants from around fifty different countries and organisations from all permanently inhabited continents saw around 50 excellent presentations (24 for Data Collection, 5 on the joint day and 20 for Dissemination and Communication). Additionally, in the special event on the joint day, 12 teams competed against each other in producing tangible output. For each session, main lessons learned and topics for future work were identified by sub-groups. Through and inclusive and democratic process, the following main topics were identified for future work in the area of Data Collection:
- Mobile devices for data collection (increases response rate, but is it a different mode and should we adapt the design and/or shorten the questionnaire)
- Skills and mind-set needed for our future data collection methods
- Paradata: how to structure, understand and us it
- New methods such as integration sources and sampling techniques to reduce survey burden
- Design shorter questionnaires (what do we really need, identify key questions, maximise result while minimise size, paradigm change of staff)
- Use of nudging initiatives in communicating with respondents
- Measure the impact of personalized feedback (cost-benefit)
- How to integrate Big Data and other new sources into integrated data management systems
- Behavioural studies for design and communication strategies
- Improve partnerships with data providers
- Measure the effectiveness of incentives and their impact on data quality
The 2015 Data Collection Workshop: Riding the Wave of the Data Deluge was successfully held from 29 April to 1 May in Washington D.C., United States of America. It was held back-to-back with the Workshop on the Communication of Statistics (27-29 April). We thank participants, organizers and steering committee members for their contributions.
Blog Posts:
The conference topics include, but are not limited to:
Pilot experiments and experiments embedded in statistical production
