Arduino Robot
The project history
Arduino Robot is a project in which
Arduino and Complubot
Robotics Association have been working for the last two years,
with the help of many others. We want to thank all the
contributors to the project, and specially to the
Arduino Team
for their effort, dedication and their trust in us.
Complubot Robotics Association started in 2003 in the
field of educational robotics for children from 6 to 18 years old.
Over this time we have developed many robots, and participated
whith some of then at the
RoboCupJunior (RCJ)
from 2006 to 2011.
Sharing what has been learnt is the main object for the
participans in the RCJ,
so our posters and presentations have always been full with
information and technical details about our research and work.
After 6 years participating in the
RCJ world championship
and having won four consecutive times the first price in the
Soccer league (China, 2008; Graz in Austria, 2009; Singapur,
2010 and Istambul in Turkey, 2011) we had the sensation
that our next challenge should be to deliver our experience
and results to all those students and hobbyists that could
be interested in robotics.
In September 2010 we were participating in an international
robotic soccer competition in Bergamo, Italy, in the
Bergamosciencza science festival. It was then when we shared
a little meeting with David and Massimo of the
Arduino Team,
and where we stated the basis of this new project. There is
where the Lottie Lemon project was born.
Lottie Lemon's objective was to be an educational,
low cost, and easy to learn platform,
that could evolve with the users knowledge.
To achieve this goal, we took our experience and a
simplified model of one of our wining championship robots:
a structure with tho independent boards, one on top of the other,
each one with it's own processor (forming a double processor architecture),
communicating both with a high speed serial line.
Thus we began shaping and forging the ideas and the final
product, that we finally decided to call it Lottie Lemon.
By summer 2011, we made a preliminary design for field testing.
We spent the rest of the summer working in this first
prototype design, finishing it by September's end, and to
whom we called "el verde" (the green). To save time we ask
David for help with the design of the PCBs, sharing the work
load with him. He delivered, a few days after, the finished
boards, ready for building!
With this robot we learnt a lot about the behavior of
low-cost motors, nothing to do with our out-of-the-budget
(but extremely efficient) Maxon motors form our competition
robots. Finally we implemented a hardware and software
control system that could achieve good results form the
Lottie Lemon's actuators.
"El verde" was composed of two boards placed one on top
of the other in a sandwich structure, separated with
hexagonal rods. Boards were connected through a flat wire
where power and communication signals where shared.
The upper board was called the control board, and the
lower board, the motor board.
With the green Lottie Lemon we made the first programs,
and the first functional tests. For that we developed the
first firmware for the motor board (a command interpreter).
With this first programs it was able to be aware of the
state of the sensors, move, and do some harder tasks such
as follow lines.
In the last trimester of 2011 the first blue version of
Lottie Lemon was made. Each of the two boards of the robot
still had it's own processor (an Arduino Mini), but we
integrated the improvements we discovered while testing the
previous prototype.
During the following months, we prepared the first stack
of robots to test them with a group of students. That way
in April 2012 we offered the first Lottie Lemon workshop
in the Robotic Week of the Universidad de Alcalá
In spring 2012, important changes were made to the robot,
going from a functional prototype to a more
destined-to-manufacture machine. We abandoned the plug-in
modules (the Arduino Mini was placed in a socket) in favor
of having each board with its own processor, an ATMEGA32U4,
the same processor as the Arduino Leonardo, that has native
USB capabilities. Also the monochromatic screen was changed
to a bigger, full-color screen (the same that Arduino Explora uses).
The first magnetic orientation sensors were integrated, and
we started working on a power supply system that included
the battery charger and the voltage regulator to guarantee
constant voltage to the robot's motors.
Also we started working in the aesthetics of the machine,
improving the looks of it as well as the functionality.
By the summer of 2012 we had a very improved version of
the robot that we used to present it in our association
stand in the 2012 RoboCupJunior World Championship, celebrated in Mexico City.
It was a good occasion to check the opinion of professional,
hobbyist and general public, specially that of the numerous
children that daily went to the competitions.
During the following months we continued showing the
robot in all the forums where we were invited. We talked
about our experiences and research at the same time as we
improved the prototypes, solved problems and added new
functionalities that drew us closer to the final product
that we have at the moment.
By the end of 2012 we had a 100% stable version, and we
focused on software from then on. This work was made by
David and Xun (that joined the project in that stage) with
some collaboration from our association in the control
algorithms (PID tuning) and the examples, as well as the functional
tests on the final version of the robot.
Now, more than two years later from that first meeting
in Bergamo with David and Massimo, the Arduino Robot is
ready for its presentation. This fills us with pride,
specially as we get to share most of what we have learned
over more than 10 years of dedication to educational
robotics, and made it a great utility for hobbyists,
teachers, students and even professionals. All this thank to
the Arduino Robot.

Help! Conversion of Cambridge MA Kitchen in 1904 Building
Helene Munson REALTOR
January 6, 2013 in Design Dilemma
We have just bought a 1904 apartment in Cambridge MA wgic was almost in original condition with horsehair plaster walls dividing the mudroom from the pantry to the main kitchen. We have taken out these walls and now there is a great L shaped space waiting to be remodelled. We would like to keep the original flair of the place and worked with reclaimed materials as much as possible. Also cost is an issue. We can not afford a brand new top of the line designer kitchen. Does anybody have experience with a similar project?

My son went to Fairfax School and my daughter attends there now. I have always been SUPER PLEASED with the teachers, their ways of teaching and tolerating the children. It takes a gifted person to teach a room full of young kids each day and i give them all 5 stars.
Fairfax Elementary is a great school. My son has been attending for three years now and he loves school does not want to miss a day! He loves his teacher Mrs. Letson! She really makes learning fun! The Principal Mrs. Tucker does a really good job working with the parents. They have Music classes one day a week for all the children. They also have the Gifted Program which my son is in. The parents are all really involved in this school which makes it better for everyone. We really have some super parents at Fairfax School! Mrs. Elliott
I have a [daughter in] 1st grade. She goes to fairfax. She is in Mrs.Finlay room. She really care. Last year my little girl wasn't doing so good so I had a choice to keep her back her back this year. She has brought her grades up. I would like to thanks Mrs. Finlay for working with my child as well. Thanks alot shirley moon. Until then take care
my son is in the pre-k class in fairfax and it is great! the teachers really care about the kids and how they do in school. my son has adhd so I was worried about how he would in school. he is in the best hands possible besides my own. thank you fairfax for a job well done. keep up the great work!
My brother & I both attended Fairfax Elementary, & now my children are going there. The teachers are very helpful & very well educated. The acedemics for this small town are phenomanial! The principal & vice-principal are two of the greatest people we could ask for supervising our children. They not only teach the children the fundamentals of life at Fairfax Elementary, the teachers instill self worth in the youth that are our future. Don't think twice about our school if you have the opportunity to move to Valley, AL. Your children would be in the best hands they could ever be in besides your own.
As a child myself, I attended Fairfax Elem. and enjoyed the teching qualities of the teachers. I made sure that when my son was old enough to start school that we were inside of the district for him to attend Farifax. It is a wonderful school with caring and hard working involved teachers.
The teachers at Fairfax are very committed to the students. While in the 2nd grade, my son was diagnosed with ADD, due to the attention and efforts of the teachers involved, we were able to help my son maintain an A-B average. Thanks to all of the teachers for the love and support they give to each student.
this school is the best for the young students of k-5.it gives the students a lot of courage to be what they want to be..

Georgianne Nienaber: 45 alleged lynchings is an eye-opening number, but what about the 2,591 cholera deaths and counting? Has Haiti fatigue so infected news coverage that "voodoo" is the only cholera related statistic worth reporting today?
Progressive Media Advocates
Hector Villagra: We think it's clear that because California has no stop identify and statute — and, therefore, in the words of the Supreme Court, has not created a legal obligation requiring a suspect to answer questions — you cannot be arrested for failing to provide identification when detained by a police officer.

Many of us knew what was most likely coming today. The International Cycling Union (UCI) ratified the United States Anti-Doping Agency's (USADA) sanctions against Lance Armstrong. No surprise that they took Armstrong's tainted Tour de France victories away, too much light had been shed on the misconduct of Armstrong and UCI (at least in international […]
We have had many laughs over the years about my "I'm too old to ride almost 15 miles" statement!
Since that inaugural ride, I've logged thousands of miles on one bike or another – and every Memorial Day weekend I go for some sort of ride, or two or three.
And I always think about that first ride 21 years ago this weekend and smile, and I still feel a sense of accomplishment and pride that I'm still at it and still love it.
Just this past month Edmond strengthened the bicycle ordinance, the changes go into effect April 27, 2011. It amends the "3-feet" rule to allow for citations to be issued regardless of whether or not there is an accident (state law specifies there must be an accident causing serious physical injury). This is a huge improvement and is due in part to the two cyclists that were hit and killed last summer in Oklahoma City/Edmond area.
Lance Armstrong announced today he is retiring again. Retirement 2.0. is no doubt his final retirement from professional bike racing. Armstrong riding a bike changed things for all bike riders in the U.S. I personally saw attitudes change toward me on the bike – especially during the peak of Armstrong's Tour performances.
I recognized something recently while riding – cyclists sometimes irritate me as much as drivers do. Drivers still scare me more, pose a bigger risk to me, but the behavior of many of my fellow cyclists is questionable too.

When Rand Paul touches down in Iowa Friday, it will be almost exactly three years to the day after his landslide 2010 Senate primary victory - an unlikely and decisive triumph over the Republican establishment that instantly transformed Paul into a national political phenomenon.
Now, as Paul weighs a 2016 presidential bid, a different kind of challenge confronts him: Can the plain-spoken former Bowling Green ophthalmologist build a campaign to back up his popular appeal?
For all Paul's success as a media brand and a mobilizer of the conservative grassroots, the Kentucky senator has done relatively little since 2010 to assemble a political machine around his own personality. For now, the Rand Paul project is a high-wire act that works largely without a net.
Paul's political action committee, RAND PAC, has only just now hired a spokesman, sources said: former Michele Bachmann aide Sergio Gor. While Paul has reached out to key figures in the GOP donor community, much of his fundraising still happens over the Internet - though he'll court Silicon Valley moguls at multiple meet-and-greet events later this month in California, according to a top aide.
Advisers acknowledge that Paul's political orbit remains remarkably small for a politician so visible, and so apparently eager to take his act to the next level. As he works the early stages of the 2016 pre-primary circuit, the senator continues to rely on a small band of aides, most of whom have been with him since his days as an underdog Senate candidate. The Paul crew is politically nimble, but also fairly green in national politics- even proudly amateurish.
(PHOTOS: Highlights from Rand Paul's filibuster)
So far, said Paul chief of staff Doug Stafford, the senator's skill as a mass messenger has meant that "a lot of the things that have to be pushed and manufactured happen organically with Rand."
"One of the things that's useful to do is, try to keep [the political operation] as lean as possible," Stafford said. "There's going to be a lot more to it - his political travel, his political conversations."
More than half a dozen operatives in and around Paul's inner circle said that a key priority for Paul in the year ahead will be building out his campaign apparatus. Should he decide to run for president, Paul will need more than a band of true believers who can amp up a message: he'll need lawyers and regional political directors and state-specific spokespeople. He'll need to recruit national-level campaign veterans who are convinced that this Paul can actually land in the White House.
Paul's advisers talk about a 2016 presidential run almost as a fait accompli, and his schedule in Iowa this weekend reflects the near-certainty of a national campaign. Indeed, it looks like a full-blown, pre-caucus campaign swing: coffee with the Iowa Federation of Republican women, the state GOP Lincoln Dinner, breakfast with Johnson County Republicans on Saturday.
Sources said Paul is also slated to participate in an off-the-books "Pastors and Pews" event with local Christian leaders on Friday - one of the deliberately low-profile meetings organized nationwide by media-shy evangelical activist David Lane.
With Paul's level of activity accelerating so quickly, his operation will have to catch up sooner rather than later. And the moves have already begun: Stafford is transitioning out of his role as chief of staff and moving over to the PAC, as Gor comes on board to handle communications.
Beyond that skeleton crew at the political committee, Paul continues to lean on a few familiar allies. They include Paul family stalwart Jesse Benton, who's currently managing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's reelection, and John Tate, who managed Ron Paul's quixotic 2012 presidential effort. Republican consultant Trygve Olson, who also works with American Crossroads, and Kentucky-based strategist Dan Bayens also play key roles in the Paul operation.
Rand-watchers can already see the germs of a presidential team in there: Benton has the resume of a presidential campaign manager and Stafford already functions as a senior strategist for the senator.
Still, it's a comparatively spare group, especially held up against the already-sizable consulting and policy teams around a few other 2016 aspirants, such as Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Paul also intends to intensify his outreach to the Republican donor community. He has already made overtures to some of the big guns of the GOP financial world, sources said, meeting with figures such as former George W. Bush finance vice chairman Jack Oliver, the conservative billionaire Koch brothers and New York financier Paul Singer.
But that process will speed up later this month when Paul travels to California for a speech at the Reagan Library. He'll hold multiple meet-and-greet events with potential West Coast donors, according to a top adviser - a move aimed in part at courting high-tech and venture capital moguls who may not regularly engage in politics.
Cathy Bailey, the prominent GOP fundraiser and former ambassador to Latvia - and a staunch Rand ally - said she is raring to go for 2016 and encouraged by the early reception Paul has gotten from donors.
Bailey hosted a getting-to-know-you event for Paul in Florida back in March, in the wake of his sensational 13-hour filibuster against the domestic use of drones. It was a vivid illustration of the senator's political potency, she said.
"What drew me to Rand is he was willing to go to Washington and shake things up," Bailey said. "I think that the crowd that came to this greet-and-meet back in early March is a testimony to that."
Paul, she continued, "has tremendous appeal as he has continued to push policy - and absolutely, I would be there [for 2016]."
His advisers freely acknowledge that Paul's ascent on the national stage has more to do with the senator's uncommon popular appeal on the right and his mastery of the circus that is cable TV, than intricate political planning.
"Up to this point, very little of this was done with political calculus or intention in mind. These are opportunities that came on the heels of the filibuster," said one Republican close to Paul-world. "It's not because there's some apparatus that's really laying out a timeline to deal with these things."
Another Rand adviser emphasized that Paul will have to "expand and augment that political side going into the 2014 campaign" if he is going to leverage his star power in a more concerted way.
"Rand wants to be aggressively campaigning for Republicans in 2014," the adviser said. "Obviously, there will be need for some people doing communications stuff, obviously fundraising. Rand really tries to practice what he preaches, when it comes to being a fiscal conservative. So he will want to have a tight ship."
Paul advisers reject the idea, however, that they are in any way falling behind the competition. If other likely candidates are spending more on consultants at this point or hiring West Wing-level policy staff in their Senate offices, they also have more ground to make up against a candidate like Paul.
After all, Paul backers argue, the senator walks into the early states with a ready-made network, thanks to his father, and a national political brand that Rubio alone can rival.
Stafford, a longtime "right to work" activist and veteran of Paul's 2010 Senate campaign, was blunt about what he views as the senator's extraordinary political potential, describing him as a potential candidate with appeal across the whole GOP coalition.
"I honestly think that could be the story of this race," he said. "Can someone take the traditional, low-tax Reagan conservatives [and] speak also to the social conservative evangelicals?"
To the Paul crew, the answer to that question is self-evident.
New Hampshire-based Republican strategist Andy Demers, who worked for both Rand in 2010 and Ron in 2012, said it may be too soon to sign up early-state talent officially - but he's confident the pieces will come together when the time comes.
"I'm very loyal to Sen. Paul and I very much believe in what we've accomplished so far," Demers said. "I haven't had any discussions with anybody [about 2016]."

PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - Severe storms hit the Midwest on Saturday and are expected later in the Northeast, where flash flooding killed at least four people in Pittsburgh on Friday.
Heavy rains submerged cars in flood water that was nine feet deep in places in Pittsburgh, authorities said.
A mother and her two daughters died when water engulfed their vehicle in a low-lying section of the city's Washington Boulevard near the Allegheny River.
Kimberly Griffith, 45, and her daughters Brenna, 12, and Mikaela, 8, were pronounced dead at the scene, a spokeswoman for the Allegheny County medical examiner's office said.
The water pinned their vehicle to a tree and they were unable to escape, authorities said.
Also recovered after the flood was the body of Mary Saflin, 72, who had been reported missing earlier, according to the Allegheny County medical examiner's office.
The Philadelphia area was also soaked by heavy thunder showers Friday, bringing a record rainfall of 12.95 inches for August, close to the record for any month, according to NWS meteorologist Lee Robertson.
The previous record is from September 1999, set when a hurricane pushed rainfall to 13.07 inches.
As more storms were forecast for the region Sunday, the NWS warned in a flood advisory that nearly half of all flood fatalities are vehicle-related.
"As little as six inches of water will cause you to lose control of your vehicle," the NWS stated.
The Weather Channel forecast more storms from the Great Lakes to the Central Plains into Saturday night.
One man died as storms and a tornado roared across northern Wisconsin Friday night, cutting an 8-mile-wide swath 65 miles north of Green Bay and taking out power to around 2,000 homes, officials said.
Douglas Brem, 43, was staying in a rented trailer at a recycling center in the path of the storm, which caused extensive damage to homes, Marinette County Coroner George Smith said.
A fierce thunderstorm in the Chicago area Saturday suspended the Chicago Air & Water Show until about 2 p.m., leaving time for a condensed show. The two-day free annual event was expected to attract around 2 million spectators.
Saturday's thunderstorm threat will shift to the Northeast Sunday.
The Southeastern Virginia Hampton Roads region was spared from severe storm activity, but smoke from a 6,000-acre fire in the Great Dismal Swamp continues to plague the region down into North Carolina.
Virginia's Environmental Quality Department downgraded Friday's air quality red alert in some areas to orange, advising of possible health problems for sensitive individuals.

Tooth Decay (cont.)
Tooth decay usually does not cause symptoms until you have a cavity or infected tooth. When this occurs, symptoms include:
The pain may become worse when you:
Severe tooth decay may cause a pus-filled sac (abscess) to form in the bone at the base of a tooth. Symptoms of abscess include:
For more information, see the topic Abscessed Tooth.
What Happens
Tooth decay usually happens slowly over a period of months or years.
Decay begins when bacteria in your mouth increase during the first 20 to 30 minutes after you eat. The bacteria make acids, which eat away at the hard mineral layers of the tooth. A hole (cavity) forms when the acids cause more damage than the tooth can repair.
See pictures of a tooth and tooth decay.
A tooth has an outer layer (enamel), a middle layer (dentin), and a center (pulp). The more layers that are affected by decay, the worse the damage.
Types of cavities (dental caries) are:
Untreated tooth decay causes more severe problems and can lead to gum disease. For more information, see the topic Gum Disease.
Your saliva helps prevent tooth decay. It reduces acid damage to a tooth by washing away sticky, sugary foods that feed bacteria. The minerals in saliva also can help repair the tooth.

The Outside Boyby Jeanine Cummins
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the national bestselling and highly acclaimed author of The Outside Boy comes the deeply moving story of two mothers—witty, self-deprecating Majella, who is shocked by her entry into motherhood in modern-day New York, and her ancestor, tough and terrified Ginny Doyle, whose battles are more fundamental: she must keep her young family alive during Ireland's Great Famine.
After the birth of her daughter Emma, the usually resilient Majella finds herself feeling isolated and exhausted. Then, at her childhood home in Queens, Majella discovers the diary of her maternal ancestor Ginny—and is shocked to read a story of murder in her family history.
With the famine upon her, Ginny Doyle fled from Ireland to America, but not all of her family made it. What happened during those harrowing years, and why does Ginny call herself a killer? Is Majella genetically fated to be a bad mother, despite the fierce tenderness she feels for her baby? Determined to uncover the truth of her heritage and her own identity, Majella sets out to explore Ginny's past—and discovers surprising truths about her family and ultimately, herself.
Read Jeanine Cummins's posts on the Penguin Blog. A poignant debut novel of an Irish gypsy boy's childhood in the 1950's by the author of the bestselling memoir A Rip in Heaven.
Ireland, 1959: Young Christy Hurley is a Pavee gypsy, traveling with his father and extended family from town to town, carrying all their worldly possessions in their wagons. Christy carries with him a burden of guilt as well, haunted by the story of his mother's death in childbirth. The peripatetic life is the only one Christy has ever known, but when his grandfather dies, everything changes. His father decides to settle down temporarily in a town where Christy and his cousin can attend mass and receive proper schooling. But they are still treated as outsiders.
As Christy's exposure to a different life causes him to question who he is and where he belongs, the answer may lie with an old newspaper photograph and a long-buried family secret that could change his life forever...

The model was Marguerite Kelsey who sat to Meredith Frampton in 1928. Wheeler was a painter and sculptor who exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy summer exhibition from 1914 to 1970. 'Spring' was shown at the 1930 summer exhibition. She holds a seed in her right hand symbolising her personification. Flowers bloom in relief on her feet and are indented on the rest of her body. Wheeler discovered the model at an evening sketch class and said that she brought spring into his studio when it was midwinter. Other sculptures by Wheeler include the Jellicoe Memorial Fountain in Trafalgar Square and figures on the Bank of England building. He was President of the Royal Academy 1956-66.

Grim Batol has always been rumoured to be a future raid (it currently is the probable locale of Deathwing) but one that they'll revisit when dealing with the Emerald Dream (because he's a prime canidate for the source of the Nightmare) whatever's behind the door at Timbermaw could also be related to the Emerald Dream. (in fact, most anything in the old world could have this relationship, and could lead to dungeons where your zipping between ED and OW so as to choose your bosses
Greymane they said they forgot about, but for it to be acurate geographically, it would be the size of a zone. I think they're saving it for if/when they add worgen as a race.
I don't understand why people keep bringing up Gilneas. It has always been one of the most powerful nations of all. Reducing it to nothing more than a dungeon, or having it be taken over by little worgen, is equivelant to Hogger taking over Stormwind and Mankrik's wife conquering Orgrimmar.
@ Macgayver,
I bring it up because its there. It was the largest human nation in all of Azeroth. Where did it go? What happened to it? There are too many unanswered questions.
And who is to say that the entire region has to be an instance? I say open the gates, let people explore, and keep the main city itself an instance - IE, Stratholme - while leaving the rest of the area gradually going from lowly level 13 worgen to high enough level worgen to topple the largest human nation ever.
Fyve & Boomstick said...
Classic trashy horror movie plot, Some rebellious Gilneas teens want to know what all the fuss is about and go for a little camping trip to the gilneas wall. finding a group of survivours camped on the other side, being unable to open the gates, being just a small bunch of rebellious teens and all they instead begin passing stuff through the gates, snacks, Gilneas Pale Ale etc etc, much drunken hilarity ensues, even though someof the survivours do look kinda shifty as its gets dark... then horrors of Horrors, One gets bit on the hand passing a drink through the gates, they all run back to their town, but dont tell anyone because they dont want to get told off...
Cue Worgen invasion.
The worgen have to be summoned to Azeroth, so it's possible that Gilneas is populated by worgen now, but I'd like to bring up a few things that make me think this isn't so:
-Gilneas is behind a giant freaking wall
-No implication is ever given that the worgen are anywhere outside silverpine/ night-elf zones, and now Northrend via Arugal
-There IS mention of the naga surfacing and setting up a base near Gilneas. Being isolated between the Graymane Wall and the ocean, I think the naga would take full advantage of that.
As for instances, the Karazhan crypt would be sweet.
Are you talking about the Timbermaw Hold in Azhara?
I don't think that is a instance.....instead I think they intened that to link up with the tunnle and have it spread across all 3 zones. (there is a sealed part of the tunnel in the Main room)
but they scrapped the idea.....
Not official. but thats what i think

I understand that it costs $1 to rent any type of racquet. Last week, my friend rented 2 racquets for racquetball by mistake (we were going to play badminton). He asked a member services staff if he could change it for a badminton racquet right after without any extra charges, but this was to no avail. The "system" would not allow it (the staff was nice though). I suggest charging members $1 for racquet rentals while giving members the privilege to switch types of racquets throughout the day. Else, giving members a grace period to switch racquets in case of mistakes like my friend's would be nice too.

By the light of 100 billion suns by Astronomr on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
Beautiful dark and clear night, went down to the inlet and shot some 3200 ISO stuff. Pretty eventful really - not only did I catch some stunning views of the southern sky, I dropped my camera :( Luckily my UV filter caught the brunt of the blow and camera and 18-55 seem to be fine.
This was all shot before the moon appeared of course. Been through some reasonably heavy post - colour, contrast and , of course, noise reduction.
I think I am startign to reach the limit of what the 20D can do, sensor-wise. 5D for me next, once I can save the money!
Stars are sarahiously underrated

How is it even remotely possible that Wharton's EMBA program isn't in the top tier much less the top 62???
by Which MBA?
ONE business school emerges as the clear winner in The Economist's first ranking of executive MBA programmes. The Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University near Chicago has four programmes in the top ten. Number one is its joint programme with Schulich School of Business at York University, just across the border in Ontario, Canada. Programmes run in conjunction with Hong Kong UST and WHU in Germany also make the top ten, and Kellogg's standalone EMBA is number eight.
Our ranking measures business schools on two broad criteria: personal development/educational experience and career development. Within these categories, we look at 27 criteria, including the quality and diversity of students, the quality of the faculty, the percentage of students who receive a promotion after they graduate and the average salary increase graduates can expect. The data are a mixture of student-reported figures, student ratings and data provided by the schools (see methodology).
Joint programmes seem to be a particular hit with students. Participants on the Kellogg-Schulich programme gave the highest marks for the quality of their classmates as well as for faculty and facilities. It also came top when alumni were asked the extent to which the programme helped them achieve their pre-MBA career goals. The joint MBA offered by Kellogg and the Hong University of Science of Technology, meanwhile, got the top rank for the overall quality of its students. Students who enrol on this programme are particularly high-powered, earning on average $261,000 with 15 years' work experience.
It is interesting to note that a school's joint EMBA will often rank higher than its standalone programme. Kellogg's single-campus programme, although ranked a creditable eighth, lags behind those offered with partners. The UCLA-National University of Singapore joint EMBA, ranked third, fares better than the standalone programmes at UCLA (13th) or the NUS (43rd). The ESADE-Georgetown EMBA is 12th, whereas the one offered solely at Georgetown is 27th.
One reason for this is that joint programmes are generally more international. The UCLA-NUS EMBA, for example, insists that students take at least four one-week assignments overseas during the programme. Joint programmes also enrol more experienced students. Those on the UCLA-NUS programme will have, on average, three years' more work experience and earn close to $40,000 more than the UCLA single-campus alternative.
American programmes dominate the ranking. Well over half the programmes on our list are based—solely or partly—in America. But two Spanish schools also perform well. This may come as a surprise, given the travails of that country's economy. But students on these programmes are often not Spanish residents. The EMBA at IE Business School, ranked second, makes extensive use of distance learning, and face-to-face classes take place in Spain, China and Brazil, so it is not essential for students to be too near at hand. Its programme performs particularly well in the salary category, which is the most heavily weighted in the ranking. IE students reported that their basic salaries had risen by 52% by the time they graduated, from $101,569 to $154,281. Within two years they could expect their salaries to have increased by 125%, more than those of students at any other school. Career advancement is also a big selling point at neighbouring IESE, ranked fifth—88% of its students said that they had either been promoted or grown their company since graduation.
While EMBA students are recruited from around the world and come from a wide variety of industries—18 of the programmes surveyed comprised students from at least 11 different industry sectors—one criterion on which all schools fare badly is the percentage of women students in their classes. None of the schools on our list enrol more women than men. The highest ranked in this regard is Concordia in Canada where 41% of students are women. At IMD in Switzerland it is a desultory 12%. For a degree in which students are said to learn more from their classmates' experiences than their lecturers' pontifications, EMBA programmes fall woefully short in this regard. The Economist plans to run this ranking every two years. In this area, at least, we very much hope to report improvement.
The Economist welcomes your views. Please stay on topic and be respectful of other readers. Review our comments policy.
How is it even remotely possible that Wharton's EMBA program isn't in the top tier much less the top 62???
Wharton was ranked No. 1 in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report. How could it not have made this list?
Great article ,my daughter appreciates it!
INSEADs eMBA seems to be missing from the list. Were they not included in the survey?
I also expected INSEAD to be there. What about London Business School?
Could the editors explain why some top schools's EMBA programs are missing? Darden's (University of Virginia, 3rd in the Economist's full time rankings) EMBA program is completely missing from this list. Both of Wharton's EMBA program's (San Francisco or Philadelphia) are missing, and quality of education not withstanding, are probably the hardest of EMBA programs to get into. INSEAD's EMBA program is missing? LBS?
Editors, please cut off the forthcoming stream of derision by, ugh, "proactively", addressing why these are missing.
Wharton sucks. Its ranking only does well when ranked by American publications. Telling.
Wharton sucks. Its ranking only does well when ranked by American publications. Telling.
How can a school that is rated among the 60 best executive MBA programs in the world be graded as E? There are a lot of programs out there, but i guess that the ones that did not make the list is graded "F".
There's something wrong with this ranking, some of best world's schools are missing... INSEAD, HEC, London Business School, ESCP...
Ah yes, and which helps explain my imminent brillance.
Whoops, I mean "brilliance". Thank heavens for spell-check. :)
Are the great graduates from these schools not the same ones running the IBM's of this world and basically messing up the economy wherever we turn ? I admit training does help you become a better manager, however the MBA is not all it is cracked up to be, there are far more demanding professions which make a much greater contribution to society. Often it is simply the prospect of making a great deal of money with minimal effort which drives people to pursue these degrees. They are not all they are cracked up to be compared to say top end surgery, medicine or engineering for example.
I assume that the NO.23 is the one you refer to.
I have heard that some business schools like HEC , never participate in ranking.
Your global means English speaking only. It is really partial. Pls try to learn more other languages and measurements. Thanks.
I don't work for The Economist, but have it on good authority that some schools declined to participate in this new EMBA ranking. Those asked to participate were the schools listed in The Economist's full-time MBA ranking. This is clearly indicated in the methodology, here: http://www.economist.com/whichmba/methodology-1
There are too many top business schools missing from this ranking. I am sure Ashridge or Henley offer very good EMBAs, but I can't believe they are both better than LBS, LBS-Columbia Global, Trium, Imperial College, Insead etc etc. Whilst no ranking is perfect, this one lacks the key common sense check. It would be great to hear the views of the Editor, as this article severely undermines both the ranking and the publication.
I'd second this request - it would be great to understand the reasons for the absence of the likes of Wharton, INSEAD, LBS, etc.
Clearly ranking differences can be a result of different methodologies, but that they aren't included at all is hard to interpret.

Children's Hospital today unveiled a new team of superheroes. The "Children's Flu Fighters" are eager to spread their germ-fighting messages to kids everywhere. Missy Clean, Captain Cough, Super Sneeze and R & R Kid teach kids four basic ways to prevent the spread of cold and flu viruses:
- Wash your hands.
- Cover your cough.
- Sneeze in your sleeve.
- Take the day off.
The Flu Fighters were developed as a fun and interactive way to teach kids about staying healthy. Over the coming weeks, Children's Hospital and Children's Health Education Center will be reaching out to educators, parents, caregivers and children of all ages on the importance of practicing healthy habits this cold and flu season.
Help us spread the word about not spreading germs! Share the Flu Fighters' messages with your kids' teachers by sending them the link to ChildrensFluFighters.com. They can register to receive "Children's Flu Fighters" information packets that will include posters, stickers and other informational tools (supplies are limited).
Children's Health Education Center also offers a program for K4 and K5 students called, "Keeping Clean is Good Hygiene." This has been very popular with teachers this year with all of the concern about the spread of H1N1. If your classroom is interested, please contact us.
And, please let us know what your kids think about the Flu Fighters!

WWF International press release on Danube Delta's Bystroye canal

Press Release 10 May 2004
Ukraine breaches international agreements and puts Europe's second largest wetland under threat
Gland, Switzerland - WWF today criticised plans by the Ukrainian government to construct the Bystroye Canal, which will threaten critical habitats within the 400,000 hectare-Danube Delta - one of Europe's most ecologically important areas - and jeopardize the region's fishing and tourism industries.
Work on the canal is due to start on Tuesday, May 11, when the project will be formally launched by the Ukrainian Minister for Transport, Mr. Georgiy Kirpa. The multi-million US-dollar canal will cut through the Danube Delta, home to more than 280 bird species, 70% of the world's white pelican population, and 50% of the world's pygmy cormorants. WWF is concerned that the canal will dramatically alter the natural flow of the Delta, which in turn affects breeding areas that support critical local fisheries in the Black Sea.
The Danube Delta is listed as a protected area under the Ramsar Convention as one of the world's most important wetlands, and has been designated as a UNESCO world heritage site. In 2000, Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova signed the Lower Danube Green Corridor agreement for the restoration and sustainable use of the Delta's rich resources.
"The building of this canal flouts several international agreements and goes against the concept of international management of shared rivers," said Jamie Pittock, Director of WWF's Living Waters Programme. "WWF is calling on the Ukrainian government to hold up its end of the bargain," said Mr. Pittock.
WWF is concerned about the environmental impacts of the canal. Up to 1.5 million cubic metres of sand and mud will have to be removed from the freest flowing part of the Delta while it will cost millions of dollars to unclog the sediment from the canal every year. Along with other national and international organisations WWF has offered alternative proposals to the Ukrainian government. In spite of this the government has remained supportive of the most ecologically destructive option.
"Ukraine has failed to honour commitments made at a heads-of-state summit organised three years ago in Romania," said Michael Baltzer, Conservation Director of the WWF Danube Carpathian Programme." Nine countries in the region signed a joint declaration on restoring the Danube. If Ukraine constructs the Bystroye canal they will be reneging on those pledges."
WWF is calling for an immediate halt to plans for building the Bystroye canal in the Ukrainian Danube Delta. The global conservation organisation is calling for an independent, environmental impact assessment that examines less damaging alternatives and respects international agreements and the rights of other countries to a healthy and sustainable Danube. WWF is urging the government of Ukraine to discuss alternatives with representatives of the Ramsar Convention, UNESCO and the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR).

Notes to Editors:
- Europe's Danube River Basin covering 817,000 square km is the most international river in the world and Europe's second longest river. It is the only major European river flowing from west to east and has played a vital role in the economic and cultural development of the continent. Crossing through ten countries and draining lands from seventeen countries, it supports unique habitats and species including the 83 million people who live in the basin.
- The WWF Danube-Carpathian Programme has worked in the region since 1998 to promote the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of nature for the benefit of both people and environment. The work is primarily focused on freshwater and forest resources in the Danube River Basin and Carpathian Mountains.

By continuing to browse our website you are consenting to the use of cookies
As one of the UK's leading holiday operators, and market leader in offering holidays by rail, we are passionate about giving our customers an experience which leaves them wanting to travel with Great Rail Journeys time and time again. To achieve this, our people put the customer first in everything that they do. This service ethos extends further than just those who deal directly with customers, it applies equally to those who work behind the scenes making our holidays a success. If this sounds like something that you want to be part of, please consider a career with us!
You would be joining approximately 100 office-based colleagues at our Head Office in York and over 250 Tour Managers from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of ages and life experience - all of whom gain personal satisfaction from ensuring that Great Rail Journeys customers have a relaxing and memorable holiday.
For office-based opportunities, please send a copy of your CV and reasons why we should interview you to our HR Department, email@example.com. All new opportunities are detailed below and we would encourage you to regularly check this section of our website.
For Tour Manager opportunities, please email our TM Team, firstname.lastname@example.com to request an application form.
Current Self-Employed UK Resident Tour Manager opportunities for 2015
The initial closing date for our 2015 intake has now closed. However there may be further opportunities in Spring/Summer 2015. If you are interested in the role please e-mail email@example.com to request an application form. We are happy to hold completed application forms on file until further opportunities arise.
The role of the Self-Employed Tour Manager:
You could be a suitable candidate for the Self-Employed UK
Resident Tour Manager role if you have excellent leadership and
organisational abilities, can quickly and efficiently solve diverse
problems, are diplomatic and friendly, can demonstrate a good
understanding of European and Worldwide rail travel, are
well-travelled and are available to work in May, June and September
(and other times) in 2015.
All of our Tour Managers must be UK resident.
It is preferable to be proficient in a European language in addition to English.
A view from one of our Self-Employed Tour Managers:
"For those who are outgoing and well-organised, have genuine leadership skills, are tactful and discreet, like and are interested in people, appreciate beautiful scenery and wonderful city sights and can impart enthusiasm to others, are unflappable, and enjoy travelling by train, there are few jobs more enjoyable and fulfilling than to be a Tour Manager for Great Rail Journeys.
"But it's hard work too. It's crucial that you prepare carefully for each trip. As soon as you receive your allocation of tours, it's sensible to start reading up on where you are going and what you are likely to see. You don't need to be a walking Beidecker on each city you visit, but it's as well to learn in advance a bit of the country's history, its system of government, familiarise yourself with local customs and laws. In most places GRJ offers a superb local guide who knows more about the attractions of their city than you will ever learn from a guidebook - rely on them to provide the local colour and knowledge.
"You should aim to be that sort of dinner guest who can chat intelligently to strangers about interesting things without boring them rigid with too much detail and trivia. Be willing to listen as well. You'll find some really interesting people take part in GRJ holidays - doctors, lawyers, police officers, civil servants, teachers, priests, captains of industry. Sometimes they want to remain incognito - even if they tell you their secrets, they may not want others to know, so be sure you respect confidences. You will enjoy their company: do your best to get to know every one of them individually during the course of the holiday.
"It's vital that you plan each day with great care. Make sure you know where you are supposed to be meeting your passengers and when. Check out in advance which platform your train is leaving from, and where in the train your reserved seats are. Be willing to be firm (but courteous) if others are sitting in your allocated seats. Watch out for pickpockets everywhere, especially on busy stations where you have only a short time to connect trains. Think through where and when your passengers will be able to get some refreshments, and don't forget to plan loo stops!!
"The service you get from the GRJ office in York is superb. Not only are they very, very nice people, they're efficient as well, and there to help you. Don't bother them with trivia, but don't be afraid to ask if there's something about your holiday you don't understand. Above all, read the tour manager's notes sent to you by the York office several times, and follow the instructions to the letter."
