lighting and photographing the wedding formals
With this, the first in a loose series on lighting and photographing the family formals at weddings, I would like to show that with a simple approach it is possible to get clean results that work every time.
In lighting the formals, I don't try to get all Rembrandt, but prefer a fairly flat way of lighting everyone. I keep the lighting static for all the images, whether I am photographing one person or twenty. With time usually being a real constraint during the wedding day, there simply isn't the opportunity to play around too much with the lighting .. and I find a simple predictable way of lighting works best.
Before we get to the actual gear I use, let's start off with exposure metering for flash.
Because I work with off-camera lighting, and everyone is static in relation to the lights, it is much much simpler to work with manual flash. With TTL flash there is the chance (or risk, if you will), of exposure varying from image to image. This will slow your post-production workflow down as you now have to correct exposure for individual images. In the end it is just simpler to work with manual flash in this instance.
You can work with a flash meter, however, I use the histogram with as much accuracy by metering for the brightest relevant tone – the white dress. Since the lighting setup is straight-forward and the lighting pattern quite even, metering for the flash exposure is pretty simple as well.
The flash exposure is chosen for a specific aperture and ISO – we need enough depth-of-field, and f5.6 is good for a small group of people in line with each other. For our ISO setting, we need as low as possible to get the best results – the best color reproduction and contrast, and as little amount of digital noise as we can tolerate .. and on modern D-SLRs an ISO of 400 gives very good results indeed, and can even be considered a low ISO setting.
But these settings also need to be chosen in relation to our available light .. and for the image above, here is the available light only shot:
With this image you can see how much light there was in the background .. and also that there was a slight amount of available light coming from a window somewhere. So we'll choose a shutter speed where enough of the background registers, but the amount of light falling on our bride from the window doesn't cause an uneven lighting pattern on her.
For the image at the top, the final choice of settings were 1/100th @ f5.6 @ 400 ISO.
Normally I would consider 1/100th of a second shutter speed to be fairly low when working with available light. However, the risk of camera shake is nearly eliminated here because the flash completely dominates as the light source. This allows me to comfortably work without a tripod.
gelling your flash for Tungsten / Incandescent light
Since the lighting in churches are predominantly Tungsten, I usually gel my flash either with a full CTS or a 1/2 CTS as in the example above. This helps bring my flash's white balance to match the existing light, and not give a discordant color cast. I use these gels that I cut up and tape to the top of my speedlight's head. One of these sheets (which aren't expensive), will give you a lifetime supply of these filters. If you use flash indoors where Tungsten lighting dominates, then these filters are an invaluable part of flash photography.
The Full CTS will bring your flash WB down to around 2900K, more or less neutralizing the look of the Tungsten light. The 1/2 CTS will bring your flash WB to around 3800K, which will leave your backgrounds still with a touch of the warmth of Tungsten lighting.
The equipment:
For the portrait above, and for small groups of up to 8 or 9 people, I most often just use one flashgun with a 60″ umbrella. This large light source gives me even enough coverage for a small group. When just using the one light (and 60″ umbrella), I keep the light off-center from my position, but not by much since I want even coverage for everyone in the group. With larger groups I use two of these set-ups, evenly spaced.
You will also notice that lighting with regard to short lighting / broad lighting, isn't a specific concern here.
I prefer using the Quantum flashguns here, since they are workhorses with which I've never experienced over-heating. I can just keep on shooting without a thought to my flashguns. You can certainly achieve similar results with a speedlight, but you might have to fire at a slower more steady rate. Since a speedlight would most likely work at (or close to) full power here, there is a chance of over-heating the speedlight. And you would also have to fire slower to make sure that the flash recycles properly between shots.
The radio transmitter is the industry standard Pocket Wizard – in this case the Plus II. As mentioned earlier, I don't need TTL metering here, and actually don't want it. I need the simplicity and predictability of manual flash.
A close-up of the Quantum flash and battery pack, as shown in a previous thread.
And to end off this section, here's an example of a group as photographed using two of the Q-flashes, each with a 60″ umbrella.
What I wanted to achieve with this article, is show the simplicity of it all – the equipment is set up in a straight-forward way, and used in a straight-forward manner – and giving pleasant results that will please clients .. with a minimum of post-production work.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Those pesky house flies buzzing around your home or invading your springtime picnic could be doing more harm to human health than you realize.
According to a recent study by Kansas State University, published in the Applied and Environmental Microbiology journal, insects carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria from one point to another, including from food animal farms and wastewater treatment facilities, for example, to urban areas.
"There are a number of insects that are commonly associated with animals, such as house flies and cockroaches," said Ludek Zurek, K-State professor of microbial ecology and lead author on the published study.
"House flies are common where animal manure is produced, including in cattle, poultry and swine operations. Cockroaches, primarily German cockroaches, have become a common pest in confined swine operations."
Zurek and his colleagues collected house flies and cockroaches from food animal production locations, including swine and poultry farms, as well as wastewater treatment facilities that collect waste from multiple sources, including hospitals.
The researchers then genetically analyzed the bacteria in the digestive tract of the insects and compared them to the bacteria present in the animal feces and wastewater.
"We found these insects carry the same bacteria found in the animal manure," Zurek said. "Then we started sampling insects found in surrounding urban areas, including fast food restaurants, and again, we found house flies with multi-drug resistant bacteria."
The house flies collected from the wastewater treatment plants, likewise, carried the same bacteria found in the waste itself, he said.
Lower prevalence
House flies collected several miles from the wastewater treatment plants in surrounding urban areas had a lower prevalence of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria than those examined from the facilities themselves, but the bacteria still existed in those urban house flies.
The study led the researchers to conclude that insects, primarily house flies, can pick up antibiotic-resistant bacteria and disseminate them to surrounding areas. How serious that link is still needs to be investigated, but the potential is clearly there, Zurek said.
"Cockroaches and house flies are highly mobile, and they are attracted to residential areas," he said. "They are attracted to our food and drinks. They have great potential to move multi-drug resistant bacteria to urban areas."
In addition, Zurek's team showed that bacteria in the house fly digestive tract can exchange antibiotic resistance by horizontal gene transfer. The resistant strains multiply in the fly and can be left behind on food by fly regurgitation or spitting, and defecation.
Antibiotics, since their discovery 70 years ago, have saved millions of lives, Zurek said.
"Unfortunately, because of the intensive use of antibiotics in human medicine, we pose high pressure on bacteria, and they respond by developing resistance," he said. "The resistant strains then survive and are selected by antibiotic treatments."
Currently, we have situations where people get infections they die from because the antibiotics are not effective anymore. The bacteria that caused the infections are multi-drug resistant."
According to a 2013 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (http://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/threat-report-2013), at least 2 million people become infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of these infections in the United States.
Currently, two places where antibiotics are most widely used are hospitals and food animal production facilities, Zurek said.
Antibiotics in food animal production are not only used to treat infections in animals but also in helping animals grow.
"Antibiotics in low doses are added as feed additives, primarily in poultry and swine diets," he said. "The outcome is that the animals grow faster. At the same time, if you use low doses of antibiotics extensively, that poses selective pressure on bacteria in the digestive tract of these animals and results in antibiotic resistance."
Humans experiencing more problems with antibiotic resistance could be due to many potential reasons, Zurek said, including overuse of antibiotics in human medicine and human connection to antibiotic use in food animals.
There are likely many other potential environmental connections as well, so it's hard to pinpoint specific infections and where the antibiotic resistance originated.
Wild birds
In addition to the insects, Zurek and his research team have also showed that wild birds, such as ravens and crows, carry multi-drug antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
"Wild birds can pick up the antibiotic resistant bacteria from fields where animal manure was used as a fertilizer," he said. "We still don't know how significant these birds are as carriers. We just know there are multiple venues where wildlife can acquire resistant strains and move them around in the environment."
Making strides
To help eliminate the potential connection to food animal production, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last December released its first request to antibiotic manufacturers to voluntarily remove antibiotics from the list for animal growth promoters.
The plan is to phase out antibiotics as a feed additive for growth promotion in United States in the next three years. The European Union took a precautionary step in 2006 to combat human antibiotic resistance. All European Union countries banned antibiotic use as growth promoters in food animals.
Lowering the use of antibiotics in animal industry will be another step to lower prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the environment and in human infections, Zurek said, but because antibiotic resistance in human infections is such a serious global health problem that has led to higher patient mortality rates, prolonged hospitalization and increased healthcare costs, it needs to be tackled from many angles.
"Clearly, pest management and trying to minimize the pest populations on farms and outside of the farms is one way," he said. "House flies aren't just a nuisance. They can carry antibiotic resistant bacteria, so they should be taken seriously as a vector."

Narin & Portnoo Golf Club Notes 10th May 2011
Pictured being presented with the inaugural Francie Cunningham Memorial Trophy is Michael Nicholson. The Narin golfer won the event at Narin and Portnoo Golf Club and he is seen here with Bart Whelan, club president, Fionnuala Cunningham and Pat Connaghan, vice-captain.
Sunday's medal was sponsored by Patrick Johnny Sally's Bar in Dungloe and when word got around that Pauric Brennan had a score of 74, it was assumed that he would be there or thereabouts for victory. The wind which had bedevilled fire-fighters in recent days wrecked the putting strokes of many a fine golfer (ahem!) while others found the challenge of finding the fairways on a consistent basis too hot to handle. Pauric did indeed figure in the shake-up, capturing a worthy runners-up spot. The victor, however, was out of sight! Peter Shovlin had the round of his life, achieving six pars and a plethora of scoring bogeys for a magnificent round of 66, seven under nett par. His winning margin of eight strokes was Tiger-like in its magnitude and the computer almost went into meltdown as it scalped four shots of the Dunkineely lad. Well done, Peter!
The May Day Rumble saw the trio of Anne Coyle, Dudley Coyle and Connor Taggart triumph with a score of 76 points. Their total dipped four points under the level par score of 72, a fine effort on a difficult scoring day.
Visitor, Michael Keane won the Wednesday Open with 36 points, pipping Mairtín Ó hIarnáin on a break-off-tie. Frankie Kennedy had the only two, resulting in an award of nine golf balls to the Killybegs man.
The club sympathises with Michael and Charlene on the recent passing of their grandmother, Kitty Watters. May she rest in peace.
The Ardara Society are staging another Rider Cup qualifier at Narin this Saturday, May 14th, commencing at 9a.m.
Our Jimmy Bruen team narrowly failed to qualify last Sunday week at Ballybofey and Stranorlar Golf Club, missing out by five strokes. The team finished on 337, with the home team (325), Newtownstewart (331), Letterkenny (322) and Cruit Island (332) going through to the matchplay stage. Kevin Patton's pairs were Don Earley & Donie McCole; Paul Cooney & Pauric McHugh; Sean Hanrahan & Columba Gavigan; Noel Quinn & Cathal Donoghue; Eamon McGill & Joseph McLoone.
Hughie Moy's Pierce Purcell team did not go through either, finishing nine shots off the fourth-placed score in Enniskillen on Sunday. Enniskillen (352), Castleblayney (355), Castle Hume (350) and Mannan Castle (359) progressed to the knockout stage.
Congratulations are in order to Gerald McDwyer who achieved a hole-in-one at the 16th hole in the GAP Challenge recently. Well done, Gerald!

 tags as needed.
* valign attribute
If not already set, PMWiki will automatically include the attribute valign='top' with all (:cell[nr]:)
and (:head[nr]:)
. Pm said "Table Directives were created for layout purposes and in that case it makes the most sense for each cell (column) to have its content at the top of the row. The attribute is placed in each cell and not in the row because certain browsers didn't recognize valign='top' in the row tag.
For the table, cell, and cellnr tags the author can specify any attributes that would be valid in the HTML
 or  tags. Thus you can specify rowspan, colspan, etc. arguments to build arbitrary tables. However, it's not possible to nest a (:table:)
inside of a (:cell:)
or (:cellnr:)
-- the next paragraph explains why.
Many are likely to ask why we didn't just use the standard HTML table markup (
,
, , ) instead of creating a new markup, and allowing nested tables as a result. There are two answers: first, the HTML table markup is very ugly for naive authors (see PmWiki.Audiences and PmWikiPhilosophy #2), and second, it'd be very easy for authors to create tables that are incorrect HTML and that display incorrectly (or not at all) on some browsers. Even seasoned web professionals sometimes get the table markup wrong, so it's a bit unrealistic to expect the average author to always get it right, or to be able to read arbitrary HTML table markup that someone else has created.
It's difficult to write the code needed to make PmWiki understand and fix arbitrary table markup, so PmWiki uses the simplified version above. Still, this version is able to handle most table requirements (with the possible exception of nested tables).
And, this is not to say that nested HTML tables are impossible in PmWiki --they just can't be easily created by wiki authors using the default wiki markup. A site administrator can of course create header/footer HTML code and other local customizations that make use of nested tables.
Example 1. A table using table directive markup.
" is a non-breaking space in html. Place it in a cell if a cell is to be empty or the border of the cell will not be drawn properly.
(:table border=1 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0:) (:head:) a1 (:cell:) b1 (:cell:) c1 (:cell:) d1 (:headnr:) a2 (:cell:) b2 (:cell:) c2 (:cell:) (:tableend:) | ||||||||

 a1	 b1	 c1	 d1

 a2	 b2	 c2

Floating Table with bulleted navigation list
What if you wanted to create a nice little table like a table of contents in a page like this? In this example, the table is floating right and contains some links in a bulleted list. This is a nice demonstration of how it's possible to build a little table of contents in the page, which might navigate to other pages just within the same wiki group. Note that having a bulleted list won't work in a ordinary table - it only works inside an table created with table directives such as the example code used here.
(:table border=1 width=30% align=right bgcolor=#cccc99 cellspacing=0 :) (:cellnr:) '''Navigation Links''' (:cellnr:) *[[Tables]] *[[Table directives]] (:tableend:) | ||
(:table border=1 width=30% align=right bgcolor=#cccc99 cellspacing=0 :) (:cellnr colspan=2 align=center:) '''Navigation Links''' (:cellnr align=center:) [[Tables]] (:cell align=center:) [[Table directives]] (:tableend:) | ||||
Looking at the markup here, notice that we have used a #cccc99 hex color for the table background. Also, the (:cellnr:)
markup creates a new row, a new cell and closes the row at the end.
You could take this concept a little further: since you might want each page in the group to contain the same table of contents, you can make ONE table like the above and put it in its own page. Then use an include ? on any of your pages and bring in the table. The float (align) property will be honored in each page where it's included.
Can I define table headers using the table directive markup?
Yes, with PmWiki version 2.2.11 or newer. See also Cookbook:AdvancedTableDirectives.
Is it possible to do nested tables?
Yes, if you nest simple tables inside advanced tables. See also Cookbook:AdvancedTableDirectives.
Is it possible to add background images to tables and table cells?
Yes, see Cookbook:BackgroundImages.
Is it possible to apply styles to the elements of the table, like an ID to the table row, or a class/style to the TD?
Yes, see $WikiStyleApply.

So we are working on a new office for the BundiWater Project up at the mission community center (our main church building). Our hope is that this office will allow Jeff and I to have a dedicated space to interact with the community, coordinate with each other, and store our water project tools.
In today's day and age, the office needs internet. Here we are working on a data cable that will feed to a wireless bridge that will go to my house and allow the office to piggy back on my internet connection. Instead of working on ladders 25 feet up, we decided it was easier to pull up a few roof sheets and install from the top.

[focused because I kept dropping screws]

All that remains to be done is install the bridge, move in the computer, print up a few engineering posters and we'll be all set.

Many of us have experienced grabbing a quick bite to eat from a food truck, one of the original forms of a mobile business.
And it's no wonder — food trucks have taken on a pervasive role in pop culture. That, and more and more food businesses are opting to serve their meals on wheels. In 2015, annual revenue from food trucks in the U.S. reached $1.2 billion, a steady 12.4% increase over the previous five years.
And while many of us are familiar food trucks, the idea of a mobile business is spreading to non-food industries. Over the last few years, businesses of all kinds have been hitting the road, from a financial planner in Charlotte to a full-service grocery store in St. Louis. Even Amazon launched its Treasure Truck in Seattle that connects digital mobile with physical mobile.
According to the American Mobile Retail Association (AMRA), the mobile business industry has grown to nearly 1,000 trucks across the U.S.. Established brands and retail hopefuls are outfitting trucks, trailers, buses, and recreational vehicles as a more cost-effective solution to launching a traditional (and stationery) retail storefront.
In addition to cost savings, there are a number of compelling reasons why both existing and new retailers would experiment with a business on wheels.
Here, we'll explore the benefits and examine some successful examples of mobile businesses.
5 Reasons Why Retailers Are Setting Up Mobile Businesses
Less Upfront Investment
Start-up costs for a brick-and-mortar store can vary based on a number of variables. Inventory for a 500-square-foot mid-range retail store, for example, comes in at around $20,000, according to PFS Financial Services in Chicago. And that doesn't include the costs to rent such a space, purchasing displays and leasing equipment, hiring staff, etc.
For a point-of-sale system as mobile as you are, try Shopify POS.
According to one account from Forbes, aspiring retailers should expect to invest around $100,000 for renovations on your desired space and the cost for your first round of inventory to stock your store. While you might not require that much to start or expand your current business, who has even half that amount of cash sitting unused in a bank account?
That can be well beyond what a retailer just looking to enter the scene can afford. In 2015, research from the mobile industry showed 82% of truck owners paid under $9,000 for their trucks or trailers, and 91% spent under $9,000 to retrofit them. That's well under the initial investment necessary to open your own stationery storefront.
Overhead costs — including insurance, inventory and maintenance — are also much less expensive than those of a storefront. Take into consideration the money saved on advertising alone. Traveling retailers are often hard to miss, and your storefront is what introduces you to your customers first.

The Ability to Test and Iterate
Mobile retailers have the luxury of working with a smaller amount of real estate and a smaller inventory. As a result, they can be agile in their approach by testing the waters of a particular market before committing to something more permanent either in location or with inventory.
They'll also have a better grasp of what merchandise leads to purchases and offer products that are customized to the neighborhood or city they're selling in.
Businesses with an established storefront can also test mobile retail experience as a new revenue stream to offload unsold inventory or pilot test new stuff.
One example of this is Canadian high-end retailer Holt Renfrew, who endeavored to catch the attention of digitally savvy millennials. In 2016, the retailer curated a line of seasonal looks and took to the streets of Toronto to show them off in a specially outfitted mobile truck.
Connect With Your Customers Anywhere, on Your Own Time
If a flexible schedule isn't attractive enough, mobile business owners can be where their customers are when they're likely to be there (unlike their landlocked friends).
In a recent survey from PwC, 58% of respondents rank convenience as the number one reason for shopping online. What's more convenient than rolling right up to your customers? Think of the presence your brand can have stopped near a park where young professionals eat lunch, or at an outdoor community event in your target neighborhood.
Appeal of the Experience
The growing ecommerce market has forced retailers to rethink the ways they capture the attention of shoppers. As competition between online and brick-and-mortar continues, retailers have shifted their focus to something online merchants might have trouble replicating — a fully immersive retail experience that appeals to all of their customers' senses.
Despite what some claim, the retail experience isn't dead. Seventy-two percent of shoppers still consider the in-store experience as the most important channel when making a purchase.
Mobile retailers are in a position to offer a unique and fun retail experience that stands apart from fixed storefronts.
Image Credit: Wanderlust
An example is Portland, Oregon-based retailers Wanderlust. The owners of this vintage clothing business retrofitted a 1969 mint green trailer with wood paneling and other retro touches. Now the mobile business visits community events and art fairs across the country to show off their vintage duds — all in their sweet trailer.
Set the Stage for Impulse Buying
Behavioral psychologists agree that a sense of urgency often causes us to suspend rationality in lieu of acting quickly. FOMO (fear of missing out) is very real when it comes to experiences and our purchasing behavior.
Whereas most shoppers have become wise to the traditional "now or never" tactics of sales associates, a mobile retailer can help sway even the biggest skeptic. Not only is there limited inventory in a mobile retail truck, but there's nothing more fleeting than an exclusive business on wheels.
This will play a key role in the purchasing decisions of your customers.
Case Study: Bra Fitting Meets Nomadic Retail
Born from an awkward in-store experience in 2013, True&Co. founder Michelle Lam is on a mission to re-shape how women shop for their intimates one perfectly-fitted bra at a time — and it's all based on data.
Women go online to take a fit quiz and receive personalized recommendations beyond just band and cup size. As more women take the quiz, the algorithm is fined tuned to allow for the many nuances that make each woman unique.
In February 2016, the company dipped its toe into physical retail for the first time with a 24-foot "Try-On Truck."
Image Credit: True&Co.
Throughout the year, the truck stopped in cities across the U.S. including Chicago, New York, and Boston. Shoppers who visited the truck could take the fit quiz and try on an assortment of bras from True&Co. and other lingerie brands. When shoppers made a purchase, the merchandise was shipped to them. The idea was to create an experience similar to that of being in the comfort of your own home.After the huge success of the truck, True&Co. launched a Try-On Tent (think "glamping") which Lam considers "the next generation of retail." The nomadic fitting room is making cross-country stops so shoppers can try their brand of "fit therapy" firsthand.

Is it Your Time to Hit the Road?
Traveling retailers might have a lower barrier to entry, but they also have a unique set of obstacles most storefronts don't need to consider — one of them being undefined policy around the mobile retail industry which often leads to permit issues.
Despite the existing ambiguity, mobile retail is still an attractive alternative to those wanting to start their own business.
According to AMRA, 36% of mobile retailers in the U.S. hit their break-even point in under two years.

Portraits of Rikers Island inmates
Pencil portraits of young men and women incarcerated on Rikers Island by Ricardo Cortés.
Cortés wrote an essay about the portraits and his experience at Rikers.
The grossest irony is that increasing levels of imprisonment may exacerbate the very problems it is intended to solve. Imagine a drug-dealer, a check forger, a prostitute or a burglar who comes to Rikers. They're often leaving family behind, possibly as the primary breadwinner, breaking up a critical support network and causing measurable damage to spouses, siblings, parents and especially children. They're losing a job during their incarceration, thus falling further behind in bills, rent, and ultimately housing. They're being released after their stay with little treatment or prospects for a new job; their completed sentence may stain their record such that it's even harder to find employment. And they're back on the street with the same personal struggles of addiction, domestic abuse, health issues and difficulty in finding sustainable housing and legal employment. It's not hard to guess what happens next.

Food allergies and allergic reactions to certain drugs are serious. They are characterized by a broad range of allergic reactions to ingredients in the foods we eat or the medications we take. Food allergy is an overreaction of the immune system, different than food intolerance or food sensitivity.
The U.S. Food Allergy Labeling Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) now requires food labels to clearly identify all allergen ingredients (even if it's a spice or flavoring), and to discourage labels with 'may contain' statements.

Admission Requirements
The academic unit in which the applicant intends to pursue graduate study must approve the applicant's proposed program and recommend admission to the dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
Note: Official admission to any program of graduate studies is in the form of an Offer of Admission from the dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, or from the dean of Martin Luther University College.
Entry into the programs, faculties and schools of the university is competitive. Possession of the minimum requirements for entry does not guarantee admission.
For admission to the PhD program in social work, applicants must hold a Master of Social Work degree from a recognized university, with at least an A- average in the master's program. Applicants with other graduate degrees and strong social service experience may be considered under exceptional circumstances.
For admission to a PhD program in the faculties of Arts and Science, applicants must normally hold a master's degree from a recognized university with at least an A- standing in all graduate work.
For admission to the PhD program in management, applicants must normally hold a master's degree (or equivalent) in business or a related field with a minimum B+ average. All applicants must submit scores obtained on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). GMAT test scores of at least 85 percentile are standard. Where appropriate, corresponding Graduate Records Examinations (GRE) scores will be accepted.
Special or additional admission requirements for a specific program, where applicable, are indicated in the sections of the calendar which describe particular programs.
The transfer option is for exceptional students who, through at least two terms of registration in a master's degree program at Laurier, have demonstrated superior academic credentials and outstanding research promise.
A recommendation for direct transfer must be initiated by the graduate co-ordinator or department chair of the student's academic unit, and must be accompanied by a letter of support from the proposed doctoral advisor. The Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is responsible for approving such a recommendation. Four basic criteria must be met before consideration for such a transfer will be given. The student must:
- be currently enrolled in a master's program at Laurier;
- have completed a minimum of 2 terms and a maximum of 3 terms of the master's program, and must normally have completed the program's required coursework;
- demonstrate the ability for advanced independent research (e.g., an approved thesis proposal, a research outline, publications);
- be in good standing in the master's program (minimum GPA of 10.5 on all master's coursework completed).
Note: When PhD program applicants are admitted by transfer from the master's program, all PhD degree requirements apply. Applicants are considered on a case-by-case basis. The proposed research interest of the applicant must complement the supervisor's current, active research program.
Students who are permitted to transfer to a doctoral program from an incomplete master's program who subsequently do not complete the requirements for the doctoral degree may be permitted to graduate with a master's degree, if all the requirements for the master's degree are met. A student who obtains the master's degree through this route may not subsequently reregister in the same PhD program.
Students who are permitted to transfer from a master's to a doctoral program without completing the requirements of the master's degree must spend a minimum of nine terms in residence, of which at least six must be at the doctoral level.
An applicant who has graduated with a minimum of second-class honours or B standing in the fourth year of an honours program or equivalent at an approved university, and who is accepted as a candidate by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, may enrol as a graduate student in a master's program. A student who does not meet these requirements may apply for admission as a qualifying student.
An applicant who has completed the qualifying year with a minimum of a B standing may apply for admission to the master's program.
Special or additional admission requirements for a specific program, where applicable, are indicated in the sections of the calendar which describe particular programs.
A student who does not meet fully all of the admission requirements, but who does not need to complete as many requirements as a qualifying student, may be admitted as a probationary student. If more than two terms following admission will be required to remove the probationary status, the student must be admitted as a qualifying student. A student who is admitted as a probationary student must either complete some missing requirement(s) while registered, or attain a predetermined level of performance in a course or in course work during the first or second term in a graduate program.
A probationary student must be formally reviewed by the department, school or faculty and a recommendation to either remove the probationary status, or to withdraw from the program, must be forwarded to the dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies within two terms of the first registration in the program.
In order to be admitted to the master's program, a student must meet the general admission requirements as outlined above. An honours graduate with fewer courses in the selected area of graduate study than are required for admission, or a general (three-year) degree graduate, may be admitted as a qualifying student. The same conditions apply to honours graduates who do not have the number of undergraduate courses in their selected area of graduate study required for admission to a master's program.
Applicants who have graduated with a minimum of B or equivalent standing in the final year of a general program at an approved university and who show special competence in the area in which they propose to pursue graduate studies and who are accepted as candidates by the Graduate Faculty, may enrol as qualifying students. Only under exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies may graduate courses be included in the qualifying year.
General graduate students are students possessing an honours bachelor's degree or equivalent who are taking one or more graduate courses for credit but are not proceeding to a degree or a diploma at Laurier. Such students are admitted at the discretion of the dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in consultation with the graduate co-ordinator.* Courses taken by general graduate students are not normally intended to be used for credit toward a degree in a graduate program at Laurier.
In special circumstances, the dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, upon the recommendation of a graduate co-ordinator, may approve such courses for degree credit to a maximum of up to one half of the required course work for a specific program. In order to obtain credit for courses completed as general graduate students, students must have been recommended for admission to the program and have requested at the time of application that they receive degree credit for specific courses.
*In the case of programs offered by Martin Luther University College, that Admission Committee would make this decision.

Coding Guidelines
Much of the Mumble codebase does not yet follow these new code guidelines. However if your write new code or adjust existing code make sure to follow them so we can reach a consistent style as soon as possible.
- The Qt coding conventions mostly apply
- Every source file should contain a license header
- Lines should generally be no longer than 100 characters
- Use newlines for logical grouping
- Try to be standards (C++03) compliant and const correct
- When interfacing with system code feel free to locally use the coding style recommended for that system
- Consistency is important but these are no laws. Use your own judgement.
- Use tabs for indenting and space for lining up code.
- This means using tabs only at the beginning of lines. Otherwise users cannot set their own tabstop without breaking formatting
- Never indent preprocessor commands controlling control flow (e.g. #ifdef, #endif,...)
- Include guards should use MUMBLE_PATH_FILENAME_H_ to prevent ambiguity. E.g. for the file MainWindow.h in src/mumble:
#ifndef MUMBLE_MUMBLE_MAINWINDOW_H_ #define MUMBLE_MUMBLE_MAINWINDOW_H_ ... #endif
- Don't use non-standard #pragma once
- Try to use forward declarations where possible to reduce coupling
- Don't abbreviate names.
- Good naming is essential for code maintainability. Treat it accordingly.
- Use CamelCase names.
Member functions
- Arguments as well as function names should be camelCase
Type camelCase(Type camelCase);
- Getters should be prefixed with get/is/has, be constant and name the variable they return
Type getVariable() const; /// Or for boolean bool isVariable() const; /// or bool hasVariable() const;
- Setters should be prefixed with set and efficiently handle their argument
void setVariable(const Type &variable);
Qt Slots
- Use an "on" prefix onSomethingHappening() for manually wired slots
- Feel free to use Qt auto-wire where possible (e.g. on_qpbRemove_clicked())
Member variables
m_ and s_ prefix
- m_camelCase for member variables
- s_camelCase for static member variables
- Use ALL_CAPS with underscore as a seperator for global, file global, static const member variables and static const local variables.
- Non-static but const local variables are not capitalized, but formatted just like normal variables.
static const int GLOBAL_SVAR; void fu() { static const int LOCAL_SVAR = 4; const int localVar = 5 + bla(); } class bar { static const int MEMBER_SVAR; const int memberVar; };
- Use CamelCase for type names
class MyClass {}; typedef MyClass AlternativeClassName; enum MyEnum {};
- Use CamelCase for enumeration types
- For disambiguation and improved auto-completion use a unique prefix for the enum variables. Prefer the capital letters in the CamelCase name if possible.
enum CamelCase {CC_FIRST, CC_SECOND, CC_THIRD};
- If you need an end marker for an enumeration prefer COUNT_PREFIX
- If the enumeration values need explanation use multiple lines
enum CamelCaseToo { /// First camel in the case CCT_FIRST, COUNT_CCT };
Code style
if statements
if (a > b || b > c || c > d) { doSomething(); } else { doSomethingElse(); }
- Split up long if statements at operators. Place the operators at the beginning of the new line instead of at the end.
- Try to keep the logic in if statements understandable. E.g. use additional named variables or split one if statement into multiple statements if it makes the code more readable.
- Always use { }
Classes (e.g. a QObject based class)
- Access specifiers should always be ordered public, public slots, signals, protected, private
- QObject derived classes must have a Q_OBJECT statement to ensure signal/slot is working
- Constructors with only one argument must be marked explicit
- When overwriting a base-class function always use Q_DECL_OVERRIDE. Also for destructors. On platforms that support it this is equal to using the C++11 override keyword. Our experience shows not doing so will result in bugs.
- For classes no-one is supposed to derive from (for example pretty much everything with a non-virtual destructor) or functions that must not be overridden by derived classes use the Q_DECL_FINAL macro. On platforms that support it this is equal to using the C++11 final keyword.
/// Class for managing things by foo. class MyClass : public QObject { Q_OBJECT public: /// Constructs MyClass without initializing foo management explicit MyClass(QObject *parent = NULL); /// Constructs MyClass for managing initialFooCount of foos MyClass(int initialFooCount, QObject *parent = NULL); /// Custom destructor because we handle some resource ~MyClass() Q_DECL_OVERRIDE; ... public slots: ... signals: ... protected: ... private: /// Stores the number of foos since the last reset int m_fooCount; };
- Constructor implementations
MyClass::MyClass(int initialFooCount, QObject *parent) : QObject(parent) , m_fooCount(initialFooCount) { doStuff(); };
- Each case/default must have a break or a return. Fall throughs must be explicitly commented.
switch (foo) { case A: ... break; case B: case C: ... // Fall through default: break; }
Try to use comments in a sensible way. Don't comment the obvious (e.g. no setBla() "Sets bla") and don't feel obligated to comment every single parameter and function if the variable naming and types already make the behavior obvious.
- Comment intent over behavior
- When in doubt err on the side of too much comments
- Make sure you always keep related comments up to date when changing code
Classes / Functions
- Comment in header / at point of declaration
- Use doxygen style comments
- We use auto-brief style so your first sentence will be used like it was prefixed with @brief. Be sure to finish the first sentence with a '.'.
/// Use this for single line comments int foo; /// Use this also for big comments. /// /// @param parameter Takes param in meters /// @return parameter in feet on success. A value < 0 on failure. int bar(int param);
- Place comments directly above the code they are referring to. Don't place them in the same line.
Special guidelines for specific situations one should be aware of.
Qt backwards compatibility
Mumble has to be compatible with Qt 4 as well as Qt 5. For that reason there will be situations where you'll want to have different code based on version.
#if QT_VERSION > 0x050000 // Qt 5 code goes here #else // Qt 4 code #endif
Avoid using the QT_VERSION_CHECK macro and always specify the wanted version explicitely. It cannot be expanded by Qt4's moc and hence can lead to invalid code.

Children seated in booster seats in the back seat of the car are 45% less likely to be injured in a crash than children using a seat belt alone. If your preteens are still the right fit for a booster seat, here are few tips to consider:
- Older kids get weighed and measured less often than babies, so check your child's growth a few times a year. Generally, kids need to use a booster until they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall and weigh between 80 and 100 pounds. For most kids, they will be between ages 8 to 12 years old.
- If your preteen is still a good fit for a booster seat, make sure the lap and shoulder belts fit snugly. The lap belt should fit low across the hips and the shoulder belt across the shoulder.
- Do not place the shoulder belt under the child's arm or behind the child's back.
Use a booster seat with the vehicle lap AND shoulder safety belts until your preteen passes the following Safety Belt Fit Test:
- Your children's knees should bend at the edge of the seat when their backs and bottoms are against the vehicle seat back; and
- The vehicle lap belt should fit across the upper thighs; and
- The shoulder belt should fit across the shoulder and chest. Children are usually between 8 and 12 years old when the seat belt fits them properly.

Installing WeatherBug For Linux
Sponsored Link
Installing the application is easy with Ubuntu, however there are a few things to be aware of before making the install process a reality.
- Make sure your Multiverse repository is enabled. Because the application uses light Java, you will want to make sure that the installer is able to install the needed Java app without any hassles.
- Debian package or CNR.com utility. Neither is really better or worse than the other, it is simply a matter of preference.
- Auto-starting the application. Again, fairly easy. Just goto System, Preferences and select Sessions. From there, name box should say WeatherBug and the command box (case sensitive) should say weatherbug . Save and it will now start with every boot.
That is all there is to it. You can find the latest, up to date packages from the following two areas:
- Linux.WeatherBug.com
- CNR.com/product/weatherbug
With any luck, this will keep the "how do I" questions down to a dull roar and enable users to use the application the first time, without any Java issues. If you are still having Java issues, I would suggest making sure you are using at least Java 1.5 at the earliest if possible. I have not yet tested the app out with Iced Tea Java, so those who have it working with it are encouraged to share results here in the comments.

Full-Metal Packet is hosting the future of cloud infrastructure
Cloud computing has been a revolution for the data center. Rather than investing in expensive hardware and managing a data center directly, companies are relying on public cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to provide general-purpose and high-availability compute, storage, and networking resources in a highly flexible way.
Yet as workflows have moved to the cloud, companies are increasingly realizing that those abstracted resources can be enormously expensive compared to the hardware they used to own. Few companies want to go back to managing hardware directly themselves, but they also yearn to have the price-to-performance level they used to enjoy. Plus, they want to take advantage of a whole new ecosystem of customized and specialized hardware to process unique workflows — think Tensor Processing Units for machine learning applications.
That's where Packet comes in. The New York City-based startup's platform offers a highly-customizable infrastructure for running bare metal in the cloud. Rather than sharing an instance with other users, Packet's customers "own" the hardware they select, so they can use all the resources of that hardware.
Even more interesting is that Packet will also deploy custom hardware to its data centers, which currently number eighteen around the world. So, for instance, if you want to deploy a quantum computing box redundantly in half of those centers, Packet will handle the logistics of installing those boxes, setting them up, and managing that infrastructure for you.
The company was founded in 2014 by Zac Smith, Jacob Smith, and Aaron Welch, and it has raised a total of $12 million in venture capital financing according to Crunchbase, with its last round led by Softbank. "I took the usual path, I went to Juilliard," Zac Smith, who is CEO, said to me at his office, which overlooks the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan. Double bass was a first love, but he found his way eventually into internet hosting, working as COO of New York-based Voxel.
At Voxel, Smith said that he grew up in hosting just as the cloud started taking off. "We saw this change in the user from essentially a sysadmin who cared about Tom's Hardware, to a developer who had never opened a computer but who was suddenly orchestrating infrastructure," he said.
Innovation is the lifeblood of developers, yet, public clouds were increasingly abstracting away any details of the underlying infrastructure from developers. Smith explained that "infrastructure was becoming increasingly proprietary, the land of few companies." While he once thought about leaving the hosting world post-Voxel, he and his co-founders saw an opportunity to rethink cloud infrastructure from the metal up.
"Our customer is a millennial developer, 32 years old, and they have never opened an ATX case, and how could you possibly give them IT in the same way," Smith asked. The idea of Packet was to bring back choice in infrastructure to these developers, while abstracting away the actual data center logistics that none of them wanted to work on. "You can choose your own opinion — we are hardware independent," he said.
Giving developers more bare metal options is an interesting proposition, but it is Packet's long-term vision that I think is most striking. In short, the company wants to completely change the model of hardware development worldwide.
VCs are increasingly investing in specialized chips and memory to handle unique processing loads, from machine learning to quantum computing applications. In some cases, these chips can process their workloads exponentially faster compared to general purpose chips, which at scale can save companies millions of dollars.
Packet's mission is to encourage that ecosystem by essentially becoming a marketplace, connecting original equipment manufacturers with end-user developers. "We use the WeWork model a lot," Smith said. What he means is that Packet allows you to rent space in its global network of data centers and handle all the logistics of installing and monitoring hardware boxes, much as WeWork allows companies to rent real estate while it handles the minutia like resetting the coffee filter.
In this vision, Packet would create more discerning and diverse buyers, allowing manufacturers to start targeting more specialized niches. Gone are the generic x86 processors from Intel driving nearly all cloud purchases, and in their place could be dozens of new hardware vendors who can build up their brands among developers and own segments of the compute and storage workload.
In this way, developers can hack their infrastructure much as an earlier generation may have tricked out their personal computer. They can now test new hardware more easily, and when they find a particular piece of hardware they like, they can get it running in the cloud in short order. Packet becomes not just the infrastructure operator — but the channel connecting buyers and sellers.
That's Packet's big vision. Realizing it will require that hardware manufacturers increasingly build differentiated chips. More importantly, companies will have to have unique workflows, be at a scale where optimizing those workflows is imperative, and realize that they can match those workflows to specific hardware to maximize their cost performance.
That may sound like a tall order, but Packet's dream is to create exactly that kind of marketplace. If successful, it could transform how hardware and cloud vendors work together and ultimately, the innovation of any 32-year-old millennial developer who doesn't like plugging a box in, but wants to plug in to innovation.

Another shooting. A dozen more people killed by bullets. Another argument about gun control and gun rights. Undoubtedly, the words, "our prayers are with the victims and their families," will be spoken by people of deep faith … as well as by others who never pray yet somehow believe that the promise of prayer is a comfort to those facing deep loss.
I've been troubled by the rise in gun violence in our nation, yet have felt at a loss as to any semblance of a solution. I believe in gun rights – and that they ought to be limited. I believe in gun control – and that it, too, ought to be limited. And I believe in confidentiality—between doctor and patient, lawyer and client, clergy and parishioner—and that limits there are necessary.
The challenge is that those three values—gun rights, gun control, and confidentiality—cause us to argue, even when most reasonable people would agree on one goal: we need to reduce gun violence.
There's something else I believe in: prayer. And not simply as comfort, but as real and powerful … a mountain-moving force.
Or do I? Do I really believe that prayer can not only move mountains, but can move the God who created those mountains? Because if I did believe that, wouldn't I pray for God to do something about gun violence … before it happens? Wouldn't I pray for God to somehow help us figure out a way to balance those three conflicting values of gun rights, gun control, and confidentiality? We certainly haven't figured it out (not that we've really tried; we've only argued that one outweighs the others).
I was convicted today that I don't pray enough—or rightly—about these things.
Praying for victims and their families is still good and necessary, but that prayer comes too late. There is a better prayer, a prior prayer: that God would lead our nation to the hard work of solutions, until prayers for victims are no longer needed.

How to Submit a Request
To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:

Emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com
Only the person whose information is requested (expect in the case of a minor) may make a verifiable request twice within any 12-month period.

We will respond in the timeframe as allowed by law. We do not require account creation and will only use the information provided with the request to verify the identity of the requestor.
