Possibilities Video Series
DDI's award winning Possibilities series of videos focuses on the lives and accomplishments of individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Each 4-7 minute video highlights the journeys of different individuals, along with their family and friends, and illustrates the lives possible for all people as they mature, become independent, and pursue their life's dreams and goals.
The purpose of the Possibilities series is to present a vision of how individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities and their families can lead the lives that they wish to lead, without barriers and in the direction they truly intend to go. The hope is that these films are viewed and shared by anyone looking to explore all of the possibilities that life has to offer! The videos can be viewed online through the links below.
PLEASE NOTE: to activate closed captioning, click on the "CC" on the bottom right of the YouTube Video box. Or, please click this link to view captioned versions of the videos on the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities Website.

Possibilities: Karen NEW!!! Possibilities: Bjorn, Tom & Danny NEW!!!
History of the Possibilities Series
The concept for the Possibilities video series was born out of the desire of DDI Director, Dr. Barbara LeRoy, to provide positive portrayals of persons with disabilities which would inspire and inform all who view them. With the help and expertise of writer Suzanne Rondeau, and filmmakers Larry August and Jonathan Rakozy of Avalon Films, Dr. LeRoy's vision was realized through the creation of the six Possibilities videos.
The first four videos in the Possibilities series were launched during a special celebration held at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) on January 13, 2012. The event attracted over 400 people who were treated to a screening of the videos, received a DVD copy of the films, and enjoyed a night with friends, family, and colleagues at the DIA. With the release of the two newest videos (the "Karen" and the "Bjorn, Tom & Danny" videos), the Possibilities series stands as a true testament to what can be realized through self-determination, hard work, and perseverance.
In November of 2012, Avalon Films of Royal Oak was selected to receive the TASH Positive Images in the Media Award for its work on the Possibilities video series. DDI is very proud of this recognition and only hopes that it will lead to more projects and materials like the video series being available to parents, educators and individuals with disabilities.
Viewing and Obtaining the Videos
Links to all six Possibilities videos are below. We encourage you to view and share these links with anyone you feel would benefit from seeing them. If you would like a FREE hard copy DVD containing all 6 videos, please see the DVD ordering information by clicking this link or simply email MI-DDI and one or more copies.
Discussion Guide
A companion discussion guide was developed to accompany the videos and can be downloaded through this link: Possibilities Discussion Questions. The brief discussion card provides a list of reflection questions that can be used by individuals with disabilities, family members, friends, and professionals to lead conversation about the videos and how the situations of those portrayed hold both similarities and differences with you and/or your loved ones. Please MI-DDI if you would like hard copies of the discussion cards sent to you through the mail.

Legacy of Scholasticism in Economic Thought by Odd Langholm
Book DescriptionThis book studies the development of ideas on freedom, coercion and power in the history of economic thought. It focuses on the exchange of goods and services and on terms of exchange (interest rates, prices and wages) and examines the nature of choice, that is, the state of the will of economic actors making exchange decisions. In a social context, anyone's range of choice is restricted by the choices made by others. The first to raise the question of the will in this economic context were the medieval scholastics, drawing on non-economic analytic models inherited from antiquity and mainly from Aristotle. From these origins, views on economic choice, coercion and power are recorded, as they gradually change over the centuries, until they manifest themselves in more contemporary disputes between different branches of institutional economics.

Poor use of IT frequently led to payment of fraudulent claims in 2005
"Storm Watch 2006: Ready or not"
"FEMA IT problems predated Katrina"
GAO report on improper and possibly fraudulent disaster relief payments
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's poor use of information technology and lack of management controls were directly to blame for rampant fraud that led to as much as $1.4 billion of hurricane relief funds being misspent, according to the Government Accountability Office.
GAO drew that conclusion in a June 14 report that estimated the cost to taxpayers at $600 million to $1.4 billion. The costs, uncovered through data mining and database matching techniques, are mostly associated with questionable or fraudulent assistance claims from individuals who were in the path of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.
FEMA officials condemned the mistakes and abuse and vowed that the agency's overhauled systems will end them.
"The level of processing error and fraud associated with FEMA's programs are intolerable," said Aaron Walker, a FEMA spokesman.
About 16 percent of the disaster assistance claims FEMA paid were dubious, GAO said.
Members of Congress, FEMA and outside interest groups discussed the report and steps for reducing false payments at a hearing last week.
The agency's poor use of IT included over-reliance in some cases and failure to use it at all in others. In one instance that GAO documented, FEMA relied on geospatial mapping to support a claim of $4,706 in rental assistance to undercover GAO inspectors who listed their address as a vacant lot. In that case, FEMA could have sent someone to the site to verify the authenticity of the claim, GAO concluded.
At the same time, the agency unknowingly paid millions of dollars to federal and state prisoners and people staying on the federal dime in hotels while collecting rent reimbursements, the report states. The agency could not prove that 750 debit cards worth $1.5 million went to people qualified to receive Katrina assistance.
There was little, if any, verification of the names, addresses and Social Security numbers of applicants registering for federal disaster assistance, said Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee's Investigations Subcommittee.
"FEMA's fraud detection and prevention controls were so weak or nonexistent that these fraudulent applications were never detected, let alone prevented," McCaul said.
For the 2006 hurricane season, FEMA has upgraded its online registration system to prevent duplicate registrations and identify duplicate Social Security numbers at registration, Walker said.
FEMA has also hired the data broker ChoicePoint to verify the identities and Social Security numbers of all registrants for the agency's Individuals and Households Program (IHP), which offers housing, real and personal property replacement, and other emergency services, Walker said. In addition, FEMA has altered its automated processes to block payments to applicants whose identities cannot be verified.
The agency has tightened fraud controls in its transitional housing and expedited assistance programs, Walker said. FEMA is providing each registrant a unique authorization code to prevent duplicate payments, he said. And unlike last year, FEMA won't issue debit cards for expedited assistance cases and will instead issue checks or use electronic funds transfers.
Despite the severity of some of the instances of fraud, several disaster recovery experts said the agency did the best it could. Some fraud was unavoidable as FEMA rushed to deliver services after acting too slowly in the first days after Katrina, said John Copenhaver, a former FEMA regional director for Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. He is now president and chief executive officer of Disaster Recovery Institute International, which provides business continuity and emergency preparedness certifications.
To keep track of registrants in the future, FEMA could create a new database or use DHS' existing resources to do background checks, said Jeff Vining, vice president of homeland security and law enforcement at Gartner. If FEMA created its own database, however, it could face a backlash from a public stung by the recent privacy breaches at the Veterans Affairs and Energy departments, he said.
Examples found by the Government Accountability Office included the following:

1. He believes in love at first sight.
3. His characters will search high and low for the ones that they love.
Edward Bloom saw the love of his life, Sandra, at the circus and worked there for three years shoveling elephant shit in order to find out who she was. That is dedication.
4. When they do find their true loves, they show their affections in some seriously heartwarming ways.
Like Edward, who planted Sandra's favorite flowers in front of her house and wooed her like a goddamn gentleman.
5. He knows that not all gestures need to be grandiose.
6. Once his characters find love, they hold onto it forever.
No, it's not silly. It's fricking magical, and we're all jealous and sad now.
7. Even in death, they believe that being with one another is heavenly.
In Beetlejuice, Adam and Barbara found out they were dead. Instead of panicking, Adam turned a dark situation into something beautiful.
8. Burton throws in a few obstacles that test his character's relationships.
Edward Bloom, while charming, wasn't a saint. Remember this affair in Big Fish?
Or when Sally doubted she'd ever end up with Jack?
Ugh, and we can't forget that time Edward had to watch as the love of his life Kim dated the d-bag from hell.
9. Even in the most hopeless of places, Burton's characters can find love.
Gotham is the worst of the worst, but Vicki Vale was still enamored by her knight in spandex armor.
10. No matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel, Burton shows that love is blind.
You probably wish you could erase Planet of the Apes from your memory, and you absolutely wish you never saw Mark Wahlberg kiss an ape. But love is not for the faint of heart, people.
11. Love is inevitable, even for those who think they're better off alone.
12. Burton definitely doesn't depict love as a Disney fairytale.
We've all felt this way, Edward.
13. His characters are willing to sacrifice anything for the ones they love, even if that means they have to let them go.
In Corpse Bride Emily's love for Victor is undeniable, but she ultimately lets him go so he can be with someone more… well, alive.
Kim moves on to create a normal life, but she's still in love with Edward. Meanwhile, he lives up the hill and creates ice sculptures of her. It's disgustingly sweet.
14. The music he chooses is absolutely charming.
Danny Elfman is a master of swooning, enchanting love songs.
16. He portrays loyalty and love in old age.
Is this moment from Big Fish not the sweetest thing captured on film?!
Adam and Barbara loved each other immensely in life and death. When they were summoned for the living's entertainment, they started rapidly decaying. No matter how old or decrepit they looked, these two still looked at each other with such love and care.
17. Who doesn't want a love like Jack and Sally's?!
If you weren't moved by this love song you have no soul.
19. This is how love should feel.

Triumph Speedmaster vs Harley-Davidson 883 Iron vs Kawasaki VN900
The new £6,749 Triumph Speedmaster takes on the £6,699 Harley-Davidson 883 Iron and £7,000 Kawaski VN900 in our test of the middleweight cruisers, that offer custom motorcycle styling without the inflated pricetag and size of the bigger cruisers. Surprisingly, they don't feel cheap and can almost offer the same experience as their bigger custom brothers but for half the price. With the Harley and Triumph you also buy in to the 'brand', whereas the Kawasaki lacks kudos but makes up for it with the mean, pseudo hard tail styling, with the hidden rear shock giving not only cleaner lines, but also better ride quality than the others.

BMW S1000RR is king!
MCN took part in the annual Masterbike test at the new Motorland circuit near Valencia, Spain, where all nine 1000cc inline-fours and 1200 V-twin sportsbikes competed head-to-head.
True state of Donington Park track revealed
This exclusive video shot by MCN shows the true scale of the work to repair the ill-fated building work facing the circuit owners before they can bring back any kind of racing to the track. MCN was able to complete a lap in a car with a video camera to show just how much destruction has been wreaked before the building work attempting to turn the track into a Formula One track ceased.

7) Companions ruin the challenge. Not every class or skill build doesnt have to be able to solo as well as the other.
8) Players create a level 1 and they are geared already---rediculous. I want underwear or nothing on and a stick. I guess its time to gather materials so I can craft some pants and gather food or else I will go hungry or starve.
---ETC (Could carry this list on and on, and on)
Anyone out there like me? Are we slowing shrinking in number?
PS- A little background on me is I started with EQ1 in 99 and have played many themeparks and sandboxes and the only games that seem challenging and fun because of fantasy setting to me now is Mortal Online and Darkfall.
I especially agree with 7 and 8. I once created a character and only had to walk it to the gate of the starter zone and it lvled. That just made me want to shake the devs until their teeth rattled.
These games cost 8 or 9 digit figures to make. Kind of obvious that they won't include mechanics that intimidate casuals and co.
Of course EvE has proven that it can be done... but I think those days are gone and they will not come back.

And even if the absolute number of players like you is not shrinking, it is a shrinking portion of the whole market.
Sounds like MO and DF (waiting for DF2 myself) are the games for you and it's good that you've found them and enjoy them. Let's be glad we have those. Maybe one day, someone will make a UO2-type game properly.

I wanted to see if there is anyone out there that carries my beliefs about how I wish MMO's were vs how they are today. Here are my opinions.
1) The AAA Themeparks of today carry no risk. You die and you respawn with all your inventory, over, and over, again.
2) Crafting systems should be deep. I dont want a system of having mats in your bag and hit 'create'. I want to mine metal, crush/wash the rocks. Put it in a furnace with a catalyst. etc. And maybe if I dont get killed during the process I will make my set of armor or whatnot.
3) I feel graphics of todays most popular MMO's are cartoony. I love realism, and hate flash and over-coloring, and overexaggeration of weapons, shoulderpads, etc.
4) I get frusterated by MMO developers who continue pushing out the same kind of product with a new gimmick here and there. Because I know that if they just put the PC focus-group crap aside and focused on making a detailed sandbox with all the proper tools that it would be truly epic.
5) RMT's ruin the competiveness in the world, even if its just looking cool because that can be a competition in itself.
6) Instances are retarded. Just open them up and allow other players to attack you in the dungeon you are in. Also dont make a beginning and end to the dungeon- there doesnt need to be that 100% of the time(think EQ1's Guk or even Blackrock Mtn)
7) Companions ruin the challenge. Not every class or skill build doesnt have to be able to solo as well as the other.
8) Players create a level 1 and they are geared already---rediculous. I want underwear or nothing on and a stick. I guess its time to gather materials so I can craft some pants and gather food or else I will go hungry or starve.

Yes, you are alone.
MMORPGs should be based on RPGs tabletop, PC or console. Whenever you're in a dungeon in any of these games, you don't get a bunch of characters harrasing you while you tr y to save the town or rescue the princess. It's not why most people play MMOs. They play to play traditonal RPGs with friends.
PVP, unstructured, is the worst thing ever introduced into a game. It's like role playing elements in an FPS. It has no place in heroic adventuring. It feels like a way to appease people who don't like role playing games but like to kill things.
I don't want to spend 5 days crafting. There are games that have that much detail, they are business simulators. I'ms till not sure why crafting is a staple of MMOs.
The risk in MMOs is the risk that has always existed in RPGs. Starting over. It sucks, it's a display of defeat, and its been a fine staple of the RPG world for 40 years. The risk comes in traveling back through the dangerious area. Good game design doesnt deprive you of your hard earnings. It slows you down when you do bad, but it doesnt make you not want to come back. Some of the most devasting feelings I have felt was was when i was playing guild wars 1, died and had to start a 40 minute mission over again.
But like others said, if y9ou find something you like, stick to it. It sounds like its working for you. But believe your product is a niche. It just doesn't sound fun at all. No one wants to work while playing a game. I never have. I want challenge, I want adventure, but I don't want to work an hour to get to the fun part.
its wierd because i use to be a die hard advocate for themepark mmos. Now after the constant flood of shitty generic wow clones and after i experience Vanguard a sandpark game. I love sand boxes but i dont like full loot pvp. Make serperate servers or its a no for me.
Playing: War Thunder, World of Warcraft, and Grim Dawn
Waiting on:Everquest Next and The Black Desert
I played Vanguard in Beta and visted back over the years and hated it. It seemed like such a buggy waste of potential. Came back again (about a month ago) and my wife and I are ridiculously immersed in this game more than any we have played since the original release EQ and the original release WoW.
For people looking for a game like the OP states I think this is a truly good option. Plus it is going F2P this summer. It has sandbox and themepark elements with consequences for failure, in depth crafting, a diplomacy system that is intriguing and unseen in other games.
It is not the "savior" for sandbox seekers but was surprisingly one of the only games I can say scartched the itch my wife and I had for years in regards to mmorpgs. Of course this game is not for everyone but alot of people who have already shrugged it off as a loss will be surprised at how much it will actually suit what they are looking for.
I don't think you're a minority, not in this forum at least, i might be inclined to say you're with the large majority.
Gaming as an all is a matter of taste and opinion, some people will love sandboxes, others will love FPS and so on and so forth.
You seem to be complaining because your particular taste isn't the mainstream, well...get over it, it happens with everything in entertainment, somehow the consumers go to what is popular and the corporations go with it to make money.
It's not how it should be, but you can't force people into liking what you believe is good, you can only try to show them and hope for the best.
With that said:
- I love risk and challenge, there's quite a few games out there with that. EVE, Mortal, Darkfall, Fallen Earth and quite a few on the making.
There's a huge difference from risk, challenge and frustration though, a line that in a MMO gets extremely blured, especially with vertical progression.
- Crafting as an all seems like an abandoned idea in most games, i do believe that this is again due to the progression models and the way they work, i for one would welcome horizontal progression games based on crafting and not looting.
- MMOs are a different breed when it comes to graphics, you can't ask to have a seamless world, with thousands of players in areas and have photo realistic graphics, we are getting there but still not close, alot of developers take the route that enables more gameplay options.
This has lead to "cartoony" games.
- Again, there are alot of sanboxes out there and quite a few coming out, you seem to be asking for Archage and at the same time complaining it's not for you.
- Agree on RMT.
- Instances can and will work amazingly for story purposes and specially for challenging content, open instances can be good but they can also be zerged into oblivion in matter of minutes, i do love the idea of open dungeons in the world, always have but on average they cannot be considered challenging content.
Instanced content isn't bad as long as it is designed to be a challenge to a group.
- Forced grouping is nice in some games, awfull in others, this again is a matter of the game you're playing and what you aim to do with your time, i'd rather have incentivated grouping then forced grouping.
- Unless you start as a baby i don't see the point of being in underwear, street clothing sure, but as long as the look matches the background story of the characters i don't see what's wrong with it.
TLDR version:
Play Archage.

Very touching, you cant deny your own feelings....they always find a way to come through.
It's inevitable to deny your own feelings as they're feelings; there's nothing you can do about it but let them be there. Very well written and I liked it :) Keep writing!
A very nice poem. I enjoyed it a great deal.
Booksie is finally letting me comment, but it's not back to normal. But at least I have this.
This was a great poem, and I can really relate to what you wrote here.
I have been in love with one person for years now, but to him I am very insignificant. So love can sometimes be a curse for sure.

Fantastic Handling of the Malini Egg Bag Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 13th, 2012
This is a mystifying Malini egg bag routine for laymen, but that is not the strongest point of this tutorial. The Miller/Thompson and Benson routines are excellent as well, and different.1 of 1 magicians found this helpful.
The care and thought that went into the handling of the egg bag are evident throughout the tutorial. This may seem a minor point, but it is his handling that is truly impressive. The handling is a huge factor in making the egg bag mystifying. Mr. White is a patient and thorough instructor, and his performing smoothness is clearly a goal for any magician. Pay attention: a master is giving you his hard-won knowledge.
Eggs Whites Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010
I purchased this to get extra instruction on the egg bag routine. Bob White is a well respected magician and one of his worker routines that has been in his act for years is the egg bag routine. White provides plenty of good advice on the handling and presentation of the egg bag. His routine is rather straight forward, perhaps even boring from a magician's standpoint. However he provides a performance video where you can see how good his routine really is. His routine is multiple phases with two volunteers. It is a solid piece of stage magic. The audience feels and experiences the egg bag through the eyes of the volunteers. My only complaint is that it is a little pricey at $50.1 of 1 magicians found this helpful.
Best Handling I Have Seen Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 27th, 2013
This routine is definitely worth studying if you are serious about learning the Egg Bag.
Could do better Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 16th, 2013
The DVD itself gets 'stuck' quite a bit when trying to play on my computer.
The teaching aspect could be improved by: 1. using a clear transparent polythene egg bag with a coloured pocket entrance so as to show where the pocket and egg are at all times. 2. Slowing down the moves. 3. having an over the shoulder camera angle so you can see the moves from the performers point of view.
After reading the reviews I was a little disappointed. The routine is good and the man himself is obviously a master of the egg bag but. With a little more thought on the teaching aspect this could be truly great.

Considered to be the forefather of all modern role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons is rife with source material for an amazing video game.
Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara is this game; originally produced as a 4 player arcade cabinet action rpg experience, due to fan demand, there is now a 2013 HD release featuring two legendary games – Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow's Over Mystara.
Aside from the classical character archetypes from fantasy lore – the Fighter, Elf, Dwarf, Cleric, Mage and Thief – each with their own move set and play style - a new innovation is the circle menu wherein players can select and choose items in realtime.
Level wise, expect branching paths, heavy puzzle cooperation, and exceptional replay-ability, especially when the HD version is full of extras – from galleries, perks, tweaks, and drop in drop out co-op. This is indeed on of Capcom's classics!

What a gem of a park. The last reviewer said it all and I want to update the review. We have a 42' Class A. They have added two larger sites at the outside edge of the park. The sites are accessed from the street as opposed to a road in the park. The staff people that we had contact with were very helpful and friendly. The site had only 30 amp power but it was adequate when we were there. We also got a good signal from the park Wi-Fi.
This park was one of the best values we have encountered. - Frank Barker
May 2012 - $9.00
Absolutely cannot beat the price (Passport America) for this lovely, quiet & beautiful park. We usually only stay three days anywhere, but we extended four more because it is a great park. We bicycled to the quaint town. A few shops, lots of history, good biking along the San Francisco River up into the great hills surrounding the park. Copper mines all around. Good Mexican food and cheap in town. Craft fair/Thursday & Farmers Markets too. Wildlife (big horn sheep and javelina come into park, very early morning or after dark), and lots of birds singing all day. Washers and dryers only $1 each, Showers were clean, and the management nice. - Dan Jeffers
Mar 2012 - $9.00
We rated this a 9 because of the price (17 or 8.50 PA). 95% of the sites are occupied by workers in the area so call ahead. The main drawback is that if you need to use the women's bath/shower and the person in there has locked the door; you are out of luck and must wait until she unlocks the door even though there are 2 stalls and 2 showers inside. Very quiet and the managers are friendly and helpful. Check out the views of the mine if you go. Also, if you are not driving a large rig, take the Clifton to Silver City route for a great scenic trip. - hmthomas1

The management was VERY friendly - the Sites are adequate for a few nights. The electric, water, and sewer hook-ups all work. There are lots of trees and large sites. The sites are all dirt, but mostly level. We came here by accident after our reservation was ignored at another park. We would come again if in the area. - Kent Savage

Who should get the vaccine?
It is recommended for everyone 65 years of age and older as well as anyone wtih chronic conditions, such as diabetes, lung conditions like asthma, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, sickle cell disease, and alcoholism. Of course, people who have some sort of immunocompromise—leukemia, lymphoma, or if they don't have a spleen, or their spleen doesn't work—should get the pneumococcal vaccination as well. People who have HIV or AIDS are candidates. People who have had cochlear implants or have spinal fluid leaks—a small but very important group—should also get the vaccine. Almost two years ago, the Center for Disease Control opened up the indication for the pneumococcal vaccine to those who have asthma or smoke. So there is a huge number of people—over 70 million in the United States—who are candidates to receive the pneumococcal vaccine.
Are there any people who should not get the vaccine?
Only people who are allergic to the vaccine or one of its components, but those people are very rare.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with the vaccine?
The most common side effect with pneumococcal vaccination is soreness and sometimes even swelling of the arm where the injection takes place. Occasionally people have fever or flu-like symptoms related to the vaccine, but these are transient and resolve on their own.
How often does the vaccine need to be administered?
Unlike the influenza vaccine, which needs to be given yearly, the pneumococcal vaccine is either a one-time vaccine or, in some cases, a second vaccine is given five years after the first. This is for patients in certain risk groups. You should ask your doctor if you should have an additional follow-up vaccine.
Is there a lack of awareness about the pneumococcal vaccine?
The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases conducted a survey of consumers this past summer about their awareness of various vaccines. We found that the degree of awareness was higher for all vaccines except the pneumococcal vaccine. For example, in our survey there was a growth in awareness of the influenza vaccine of about 78 percent. The growth of awareness of the pneumococcal vaccine was only 20 percent.
What can be done to encourage people to receive the vaccine?
The biggest things is awareness. We looked at the Healthy People 2010 goals for pneumococcal vaccination and we didn't do all that well. If you look at the age group 65 and older, among Caucasians about 65 percent of people got the vaccine. Among African Americans, about 45 percent got it. Among the Hispanic population, about 40 percent got. Our goal was for 90 percent of people to receive the vaccine. The overall average for the 65 and older group was 60 percent. If you look at the 19 to 64 year old age group, it really wasn't very good. For 2009, overall 17.5 percent of people who should have gotten the pneumococcal vaccine actually got it—so less than one-fifth of the people in that age group who are candidates for the vaccine. So we have a lot of work to do to make sure that people who are in this age group and risk group, particularly people with diabetes, are aware of the availability of the vaccine and the fact that they should get it.
Is there any additional advice for people with diabetes?
If their physician or healthcare provider doesn't talk about vaccines, specifically the pneumococcal vaccine, at the time of one of their routine visits, people with diabetes should ask about it. Doctors can get busy in the midst of a clinic with treating the problem at hand and taking care of routine immunizations is something that can get passed over. Most doctors and most practices really welcome the opportunity to discuss the topic of vaccines when patients bring it up. They are more and more aware of the need for routine vaccinations among all adults, and people with chronic conditions such as diabetes need to be even more vigilant.

Internship procedure
The curriculum of the Master's Programme Sustainable Energy Technology (SET) includes an obligatory internship, also called work placement, for students without any relevant work experience. The time period of the internship is situated in between the course work and the master's assignment, which means that you will most likely do your internship at the beginning of the second year of your Master's Programme (note that you have to have finished at least 2/3 of your subjects!). Although you are supposed to find a suitable employer for this internship yourself, the Student Mobility Centre (SMC) of the Faculty of Engineering Technology can support you in your quest.
One of the objectives of the Master's Programme SET is to enable students to gain experience with foreign cultures, for instance by carrying out an internship abroad. Therefore especially the Dutch students are encouraged to search for and to find a placement abroad. We advise you to take enough time to search and organise an internship; for an internship in the Netherlands half a year should be enough, but for an internship abroad a whole year might be necessary.
Mobility Online / SMS
At some point after you started searching you are obliged to register at the SMC, but the sooner the better. You can register by filling in the appropriate form in Mobility Online; in this way we know that you are looking for an internship, but more importantly you will get access to the Blackboard site 'Internship' (19119915; for students Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Energy Technology). Mobility Online offers a workflow of the administrative process, which means that at all times you can learn about the status of the process.
Note for students who have registered in the Student Mobility System (SMS) and are planning to start their internship before the 1st of October:
As soon as you have found a suitable place, you are obliged to notify us by filling in a so-called 'Assignment' form ('Opdracht') in SMS and within two weeks after you started with your internship you are obliged to fill in a so-called 'Notification' form ('Melding') in SMS.
Note for students who have registered in the Student Mobility System (SMS) and have started their internship already:
within two weeks after you started with your internship you are obliged to fill in a so-called 'Notification' form ('Melding') in SMS.
As mentioned above, access to the Blackboard site 'Internship' is only granted after registering at the SMC. This site provides you with lots of information regarding the internship, such as hints and tips for searching, items you should take care of during preparation, execution and finalising of the internship, links to the relevant parts of the Manual External Training of the University of Twente, and lots of examples of accomplished internships. When the SMC receives descriptions of internship vacancies, they will be placed on the Blackboard site. Most of the vacancies are in the Netherlands, but some are abroad.
How to start
- register at the SMC via the aforementioned Mobility Online; you will (semi-automatically) get access to the Blackboard site 'Internship'.
- have a chat with the internship coordinator during one of the consultation hours to talk about the (im)possibilities regarding the internship and/or to go through the internship database to get company names, ideas and/or suggestions for possible interesting places.
And check out the flow chart of the internship procedure, given below. Do note that this is the first concept; some steps need to be added, in particular those regarding the scholarship procedure.
NB: the server where the flowchart is stored is sometimes unavailable. In the Blackboard site you can find a pdf version of the chart.

News came midday Saturday that the hostage crisis at the natural gas facility outside of Ain Aménas, Algeria came to a bloody close with Algerian Special Forces storming the complex. The assault ended a multi-day standoff where it's known that at least one American from Texas has been killed. Escaped Algerian workers have described seeing workers of many nationalities gunned down by the terrorists.
Owned in part by BP (NYSE: BP), Statoil ASA (NYSE: STO), and the Algerian State-owned Sonatrach, the gas facility began production in June 2006 and was described as "the largest wet gas joint development project in Algeria."
What production delays the recent hostage crisis may have caused has not been determined. According to BP's 2006 announcement of the facility coming online, production at the facility was approximately 9 billion cubic meters a year of gas or roughly 25 million cubic meters/870 million cubic feet per day. 50-60,000 barrels per day of liquids were also being produced, according to the statement.
BP has stated that it is the "the largest foreign investor in Algeria, [delivering] two world class gas developments: In Salah Gas and In Aménas."
These are huge and complex sites spread out over several hectares. The Ain Aménas site included a housing complex and processing site, approximately a mile apart. With that much area to secure, the Algerians faced a complicated challenge to safety and the breadth of the area to be protected was likely key to the standoff taking so long to resolve. The State-owned Sonatrach, which is partnered with BP and Statoil in running the site, reported that the entire refinery had been mined and that the al-Qaida-linked militants had planned to destroy the complex.
The Algerian state news agency reported that during this second and final assault, on Thursday an unsuccessful attempt to free the remaining hostages was launched, the remaining band of terrorists killed the hostages before they themselves were killed by Algerian Special Forces commandos. The Saturday assault was reportedly launched in an attempt to prevent a fire started by the militants from spreading and destroying the facility.
Earlier this past week, market response to the situation was muted. The incident began Wednesday when the militants first took approximately 40 hostages. On Wednesday BP traded down about 1% from Tuesday's close on higher volume of 5.9 million shares. BP closed out the week at $44.04 about 1% lower than before the incident began. With the MLK holiday market closure, the news of today's assault and resolution should have plenty of time for dissemination and analysis before U.S. markets open again on Tuesday.
Some within the Seeking Alpha community view BP favorably and recommend it as a company to own.
I believe the argument to own BP remains strong, in spite of the Algerian unpleasantness. My apprehension however, has been elevated for BP and the numerous other companies with large holdings and projects in the ever unpredictable geo-political environment that is North Africa. You can't throw a wrench in North Africa without hitting something owned by an oil company.
My hope is that this most recent reminder that the world remains a very dangerous place is not lost (nor swept under the rug) during the massive news-oxygen-sucking-event that is the presidential inauguration. There are tough lessons to be learned and re-learned through this incident. I pray they will be.
Those who would be prudent gas and oil investors should pay attention to how information regarding this matter is broadcast. We should also examine what actions, if any, our political and energy policy decision makers, as well as the companies themselves, take to minimize the chances of this type of tragedy happening again.
