Importing or Uploading users in Moodle
User data can be imported into Moodle 2.3 using the Upload Users feature in the Moodle Site administrator section. This option is good and can save time when creating users. For example, the teacher can edit a .csv file with Microsoft Excel, add the user information through Excel and then import or upload them into the Moodle site. This article will walk through the steps to import and upload users. For more information on exporting existing users, please see Exporting users in Moodle.
Importing User data with the Upload Users option in the Site administrator
- Log into the Moodle Dashboard
- Go to the Settings section on the left and navigate to Site administration > Users > Accounts > Upload users.
Important! Keep in mind that Editing must be turned on in the Settings > Front Page Settings section in order to edit any of these options.
- Drag the file into the Upload "Drop files here to upload"block.
Note! The only supported file format for this is a .csv, .xls, or .ods. These file types are for storing tabulated data. If any other type of file is uploaded an "Error occur during loading CSV file!" will occur.
- Once uploaded the file name should show in the File block. In this case the file name is Users.csv. Click Upload Users.
- If there are any issues with the .csv file, the Upload users preview will show the problem in the Status column. In the following snapshot, the Status shows "Invalid user field: campus". If this occurs, the .csv file will need to be edited to fix the field with the problem. In this example, the campus column was removed in order to process the import. After fixing the .csv, go back through steps 1 to 4 to restart the import.
- When the .csv file finally shows no Status errors, a page will load with values for importing. Set the Settings, Default Values, and Other Fields for the import and click Upload Users.
- Finally the Upload users results page will load showing the users that were imported successfully.
This concludes the article for Importing users in Moodle. Please check the next article on Configuring the User Permission policies in Moodle. For more information on this Education Channel please visit Managing users and roles in Moodle

Hello Sharon,
Per their documentation,documentation, you can add an option to send a message which requires messaging. You can also set the option to force password change, then use your CSV file to create an email list so that you can notify everyone of their username and the required password change.
I hope that helps to answer your question! If you require further assistance, please let us know!

It would be difficult to know what exactly went wrong without being able to replicate the error, see your actual .csv file, or view a copy of a specific error message. I advise checking your work and trying again to see if the behavior repeats itself.

I'v found out that I had extra space in the field of the rows and that's why it didn't work.
sorry for that , thanks for trying to help
2013-05-23 4:05 am

Sorry for all the trouble on this. You may need to remove that field from your CSV. Make a backup of the original first of course. It appears you will have to recreate the field through your Moodle Dashboard.
2013-05-22 1:19 pm
Hey thanks for the answer
I did doubled checked it and it's the same field name I did that but still when uploading the CSV file I'm getting "Invalid user field:" and I can't continue. I do want to continue with this column

To fix that error you will need to create the custom field for the user. Please see the following article on this.
Editing User profile fields in Moodle
Make sure the field name profile_field matches your CSV information.

The behavior of your medical office staff on inbound and outbound calls can have a positive or negative impact on your business. Whether a receptionist is scheduling an appointment or a nurse is answering a question, excellent phone etiquette and customer service is required to prevent patient attrition and spread of negative word-of-mouth advertising. Ask your staff to follow these seven rules of etiquette when dealing with patients, vendors, colleagues and others on the phone.
Fast on the Phone
Answer inbound calls as quickly as possible – before the third ring – to prevent a caller from thinking the office is understaffed. Too many rings is an unnecessary irritation in waiting patients and can create a negative office atmosphere. Impress upon your staff that everyone in the office should assist with this issue.
Friendly and Professional
Greet callers in a friendly, professional manner with the office and staff member name: "Good afternoon, Thousands of Smiles Dental office, this is Jacob. How may I be of assistance?" Smile during every call, as smiling can naturally improve the voice to make it seem more energetic and friendly. Avoid eating or chewing gum while talking, as the noises can be most unpleasant for the person on the other end of the phone line.
Appropriate Volume and Speed
Speak in a low tone using moderate volume and speed to convey words in a clear, understandable way. Raise tone or volume to emphasize a point or clarify as the situation dictates. For example, a staff member might raise the volume of his voice for an elderly patient who asks him to speak up.
Be Polite When Placing Caller on Hold
Ask a caller's permission to place her on hold if necessary. For example, after the greeting and determining the caller's name, a staff member might say, "Mrs. Anderson, I'm assisting a patient on the other line. May I please place you on a brief hold? (waits for answer) Thank you. Please hold."
Advise office staff to always check back with a caller on hold within a specific amount of time to reassure the caller that he hasn't been forgotten. If a staff member anticipates a long hold time, she should apologize for the continued hold and provide the caller with options such as leaving a voice-mail message, continuing to hold or calling back later. Although hold times vary by medical offices, callers might consider a hold time longer than 30 seconds without a hold message or music, or 90 seconds with a message or music, to be disrespectful.
Use Plain English
Use nontechnical language with patients instead of jargon or medical abbreviations, as a caller or call receiver might not understand medical terminology. If use of a medical term, phrase or abbreviation is necessary, ask staff members to offer a definition in context to clarify meaning. Of course, it's appropriate to use more technical language in conversations with a doctor, medical supplier, pharmaceutical representatives and so on.
Attentive Listening Skills
Listen to the caller or call receiver attentively to determine the best way to assist and to show interest and concern. Advise staff members to take notes while listening, wait for the caller to finish speaking and repeat key points or ask questions to clarify the caller or receiver's statements.
Satisfying Call Closure
Close the call in a friendly, professional way instead of simply hanging up. For example, "Thank you. I will make certain the doctor gets your message. Goodbye." or "Mr. Smith, Is there anything else I can help you with? (waits for answer) You're welcome. Thank you for calling and have a nice day."

This past year has possibly been the busiest of my life. Often it seemed to be a private experiment in proving Holmes and Rahe's theory of how stress affects health. After my pregnancy, I did get a lil' condition, but alhumdiAllah I'm fine. Through it all I had a constant striving for and simultaneous fear of the constant "insha Allah" I heard rolling off my tongue: "insha Allah when this is all done we/I will ____, insha Allah when ___" It was frightening for me to live in that constant temporary state, not knowing if my (I only fool me!) plans would play out. AlhumdiAllah, insha Allah has come! My family made it through the year and have reached several of our greatest goals.
One of my littler Insha Allah hopefuls was filling a bookshelf with books I would someday have time to read. Most of them are written by Muslim women and many are about Muslim woman. Amongst the fiction selections I added to the shelf is Silence , the last from the Echoes series written by Linda " Jamilah" Kolocotronis. I have read the rest of the series and hope that she is quick to put out something else as there isn't anything like the Echoes Series in print. I really enjoyed them all. Recently a friend randomly sent me a copy of Kolocotronis's first book Innocent People. I've seen the book around, but never had an intention to read it. I think that based on the cover (I know, I know–don't judge) and some other reasoning I can't fully remember, I had thought it was for teens or younger. Still, I liked the feeling of knowing that I now had her complete works (insert maniacal hand rubbing, yes, I'm a bit excited about building up my Islamic fiction library!) and I tucked the copy up on the shelf.
After the Ft.Hood shootings I felt isolated from my ummah and alone with my hurt about the tragedy and fallout. So busy with school and fulfilling endless tasks for my family, which just last month concluded in a move half-way around the world, I wasn't feeling that I had time to process the shooting even though I did feel that it was affecting me. I felt emotions rising, but had to shelve those too. Just too busy. While passing by my livingroom bookcase countless times a day, Innocent People kept popping into the corner of my eye. I knew it was about a Muslim American family post 9/11 and finally, I picked it up.
I'm so glad that I did. It took sometime to read it as I could only squeeze in maybe a page or two at a time, usually while I was avoiding getting the kids into bed! The book was such a great comfort to me. It was like visiting with good friends for a few minutes everyday. Kolocotronis's characters are easy to relate to. They really seem like people we all know. And in the shadow of so many people's sufferings because of the attacks, it's difficult to address the sufferings of those who have been wrongfully associated with the perpetrators. Kolocotronis manages to handle the topic in a thoughtful way. Not only does she illustrate the concerns and sufferings of Muslim Americans immediately after 9/11, but she also addresses many of the implications that still affect Muslims today, such as the profiling Muslims are experiencing–especially men. This book should easily become an American Muslim classic and is just as relevant today as it was when it came out several years ago.
Innocent People was really an enjoyable read and I'm so thankful that it was pressed into my palm (thank you Amatullah, may Allah reward you with better, ameen!) Last week I started Umm Juwayriyah's Urban Islamic Fiction title, The Size of a Mustard Seed, which I am loving and will have to tell you all about, insha Allah–and then I've got a few non-fiction titles to choose from before I savor Silence, insha Allah!

For those of you who haven't walked by Turtle Bay's new little corner of the city, allow me to introduce you to our latest hot spot! Turtle Bay is all about celebrating the lively, colourful, soulful experiences of the Caribbean – and it's set to open its doors to Norwich on the 30th August, bringing a new, vibrant and delicious Caribbean dining experience to the city. Think jerk chicken, spicy, slow cooked curries, rice and peas, dreamy desserts and blissful rum cocktails!
On Thursday evening, I was lucky enough to attend a VIP Press Launch before the opening of our very own Turtle Bay here in Norwich. My partner Dan and I, were fortunate to be some of the first in the city to try this new Caribbean experience, and we could not be more excited!
At 7pm we made our way to Swan Lane, right in the heart of Norwich's historic lanes, one of my favourite parts of the city! On arrival we were in awe over just how stunning the restaurant was, both inside and out. It really captured the true essence of the Caribbean. Everywhere you looked there were reggae-inspired interiors, and new things to be discovered. With it's salvaged VW Camper seating area – Norwich definitely hasn't seen anything like this before! The whole place was vibrant, relaxed and colourful, and it instantly put us in a good mood.
As we entered we were greeted by some of the friendly folks at Turtle Bay, and we were immediately given a rum punch to start the evening. Not being a big drinker, I gave my cocktail to Dan, who was more than happy to nurse a drink in each hand. Being a big rum lover, Dan definitely thought the rum packed a great punch, and he loved the mix of flavours.
Passing on the rum, I opted for a soft drink, and was made very happy by the choices on offer! As well as an impressive Caribbean Cocktail menu, they also had a whole Caribbean Softs menu, with a huge amount of delicious sounding options! In the end, I landed on the Watermelon Crush (pictured above) – which was so beautifully refreshing!
As we waited for the night of entertainment and dining to begin, I met a few representatives from Turtle Bay who already knew my name, and remembered my blog. We chatted, about the buzz of the new restaurant, and they asked me about Heart + Bowl. It was so lovely of them to take some time to get to know me, and all of the bloggers and press at the event. It gave the evening a really friendly atmosphere, and a personal touch.
Once everyone had arrived, we were given some nibbles to snack on, including some Curried Chickpeas which were beyond addictive!!! Then we were asked to assemble around the bar for a rum demonstration.
We were talked through the history and inspiration behind Turtle Bay. Their mission? To bring the fun and relaxed Caribbean dining and drinking experience to the UK. With their famous rum, reggae and jerk – they've got this down.
After the entertaining rum demonstration we were asked to find a table for the evening of food to begin! Me and Dan picked a nice table by the window near the open street-style kitchen, so we could watch the chefs at work!
Before we got stuck in, one of the managers introduced to us to the ethos behind Turtle Bay's food. The menu offers a vast choice of bold flavours and rustic dishes, all inspired by the laid back, social outlook of the Caribbean. Dishes are brimming with zesty flavours and spicy hues.
After the introduction, waiters started to bring out surprise dishes to the guests. The dining area was buzzing with anticipation, excited to see what we were going to try. Reggae music played softly, to get everyone in the mood for the night ahead.
Dan and I were prepared for a night of food, but we could not be prepared for just how much amazing food we would get to try that evening!
Firstly we were given a Beach Food Platter, followed by Turtle Bay's famous Our Curry Goat, followed by Jerk Chicken, and all topped-off with a mixed platter of Puddings! Being a gluten-free eater, there were lots of gluten-free options for me to try, which really put me at ease. All of the food was so hearty and delicious, and was packed full with so much bold flavour. They're not afraid to add a real spice kick – and I admired them for it!
My personal favourite was the Our Curry Goat (pictured below), served with rice n' peas! Dan fell in love with the Sweet Corn Fritters on the Beach Food Platter, claiming they were incredibly moorish!
Overall the whole evening was a completely refreshing, relaxed and memorable dining experience. Turtle Bay brings the heart and soul of the Caribbean – and there's definitely nothing like it in Norwich. If ever I get the summer, holiday blues, I'll be sure to head right here to soak up some fun and sun of the Caribbean. I would definitely recommend all Norwich locals and visitors to check it out when it opens from 30th August!
You can book here, OR if you're feeling lucky – Enter in my free giveaway below!!!
Yes, the kind folks at Turtle Bay have given me this incredible prize to giveaway. We're offering one lucky winner a
3-course-dinner for 4 with drinks.
Please enter in the rafflecopter below for a chance of winning!
Apologies, but I will be accepting entries from UK residence only.

There is no new product from the K Foundation to replace it, either. The initial ads did herald a recording, K Cera Cera, a version of Que Sera Sera, made with the Red Army Choir. But as the small print explained, the track was unavailable and would remain so until ''world peace has been firmly established''. That is, presumably, never.

MEDC Helps Local Businesses With LoansAREA News, News - 04.18.16
Jeremy Bain first experienced McCook when he was part of a welding crew that came to town for a job.
The Colorado native was impressed with the town, its recreational opportunities and the people.
"I just really liked the area," he said. "Everybody waves. I thought I had a headlight out for three weeks."
When he was offered a job in the area, he gladly accepted.
In 2010, Bain decided to start his own welding business with just him, his welding talents and a truck. His business quickly grew, and he needed to expand.
As a new business owner who knew his craft but not so much about operating a business, he turned to the McCook Economic Development Corporation, whose staff provided him with business advice and eventually the tools to expand JLB Welding.
When eye doctors Dirk Gray and Robert Stamm wanted to construct a new eye clinic building and bring new technology to treat McCook area patients, they also turned to the McCook MEDC.
And, so did the investors of Willow Creek Meats.
With the help of the community development block grants and local LB840 sales tax funds, the MEDC has been able to provide gap-financing loans and other tools to help these and businesses with succession plans, new business start-ups and expansions during the past decade.
McCook voters will decide on May 10 whether to continue allocating a portion of the city's sales tax funds to similar projects to continue economic development in the area.
In 2012, Bain needed to expand his welding business and hire employees to keep up with the growing demand for his products and services.
"We were a young growing business, and we didn't have the cash on hand to throw at the project," Bain said.
But, a low-interest gap-financing loan made both the land purchase the construction of new building possible.
"They were able to help fill that gap for me," Bain said of the MEDC's loan help. "Without it, we wouldn't have built, which in turn means we wouldn't have as many employees as we have."
Besides himself, he currently employs three other welders and an office manager.
In addition to the loan help, Bain also turned to the MEDC for advice.
"They helped me way more than just building the shop," Bain said, as he also received valuable advice from MEDC staff on how to run a business.
Dr. Dirk Gray said that when he and Dr. Stamm decided to construct the new Lifetime Eye Care clinic nearly a decade ago, the MEDC provided crucial funding to help purchase new equipment featuring the latest technology in eye care.
"MEDC was very helpful in the sense of getting a loan to update our equipment and basically help us reach our goal of providing the level of eye care that we wanted to provide," he said.
Lifetime Eye Care now serves patients from across southwest Nebraska and beyond and provides jobs for 10 employees.
Cal Siegfried, an investor in Willow Creek Meats, said a gap-financing loan helped he and Scott Carlin and Leigh Hoyt purchase and expand the custom slaughter operation, previously under the name Butler's Beef Acres.
In addition to the slaughter operation, the business now includes sales of high-end beef, chicken and pork to area customers.
"The loan facilitated the purchase of the business," Siegfried said. "It allowed the business to transition to new ownership."
For more information about MEDC loans and programs or the upcoming vote, please visit the MEDC web site at www.mccookne.org or call the MEDC at (308) 345-1200. The mission of the MEDC is to facilitate the formation, retention, attraction and expansion of businesses in McCook and the surrounding area.

The other night my dad invited me to a reading from someone at the Mennonite church that had just published his memoir chronicling his life from his birthplace in Paraguay, retracing ancestral roots to Russia and persecution there and extending the roots that he himself had stretched into North America at the age of twenty years old. His friends and mentor introduced Erv and then he read a few excerpts of his story. Lastly, he had each of his family members present–children and grandchildren–read stories that they most identified with from his book. I found the whole presentation very touching and an exercise in modern-day storytelling that I had never seen before. Each of the voices took it's own shape, but through the framework of Erv's original story.
Our Focus of Inquiry for our Peru six-week course this summer was storytelling and communication. We heard and experienced so many stories during the oh so short time we spent together. Stories of hardship, of trauma, of joy, of love, of privilege, of gratitude touched us from within our group of travelers. And stories with these same themes touched us from outside our group of travelers. Stories have come to us about the magical place called Peru from the high snowy peaks of the Andes, to the dense green forests of the Amazon, to the citadel of mystical Machu Picchu. We learned from people who inhabit all of these spaces, and thus learned a bit more about what it means to be a human in these often broken, bewildering, and besieged times.
I'd like to share with you now some of our time together and I will try to punctuate opportune times with pictures for your enjoyment and increased understanding of our wonderful experience together.
Our adventure began in Lima where, after excited and nervous introductions in the airport, we traveled to our orientation destination in Caraz, a beautiful permaculture eco-lodge called Apu (or Mountain) Eco-Lodge with a view of the Cordillera Blanca. In our three days there, we built a supportive group culture, started learning about Peruvian history and culture, and outlined different course components so that students would be familiarized with our learning goals and outcomes. This course mostly focused on the focus of inquiry outlined above, as well as rugged travel, trekking, home-stays, and developmental studies.
From orientation we went to Huaraz, where we spent two days preparing for our first trek. We went to the mercado and stocked up on supplies and met with the trekking company and our guide to familiarize ourselves with the lay of the mountainous land we were about to trod. Then we traveled to Parque Nacional Huascarán by bus, enjoying the peaks of the Cordillera Blanca glistening and grand, through the dusty bus windows. Huascarán National Park is the highest tropical mountain range in the world and holds close to 660 glaciers and 300 lagoons. We (instructors and students alike) were a bundle of nerves that didn't know how to diffuse. So as the bus bumped along the road our nerves jostled along as well and we sat in nervous anticipation of what lied ahead.
Upon arrival to Pomabamba we stayed overnight in a friendly and spacious hostal to be greeted the following morning by our three arrieros (Agustín, young and timid, Geraldo, silent and somber, and Zenón, our all-knowing hero), fourteen mules, and trusty emergency horses–Mono and Juan. During our rugged and isolated trek through the park, students learned the basics of trekking, philosophy of Leave No Trace, and how to keep safe (although we did have a few close-calls with symptoms of altitude sickness and some kind of bacteria that most of the group got halfway through our trek) and warm in the high Andes. Students also got the chance to practice camping behaviour by setting up and tearing down tents when time allowed, cooking food, and learning about the park through our guide and mountain enthusiast, Eduardo, and our trusty and steadfast arrieros. We crested mountain passes over 4,800 meters, enjoyed the cool of glaciers, and looked with awe into crystal lagoons. After hiking for a week we concluded our expedition to the park with a short bus-ride back to Huaraz to relax and recover from our rugged adventure in the snow-capped Andes.
After a day and couple nights in Huaraz we changed our surroundings dramatically during a 20+ hour bus ride to Pucallpa, our entry point into the Amazon. We took a short boat-ride down an estuary of the Amazon to arrive in a Shipibo community called Santa Clara where students spent four days and nights in homestays with families who had only this year been catapulted into modern times through electricity and running water. Many families spoke limited Spanish and the cultural exchange was even more meaningful by the fact that houses were normally built with the surroundings in mind, sometimes only three walls enclosed participants from the forest along with their thin mosquitero or mosquito netting. We partnered with an agency based out of Pucallpa called Alianza Arkana, roughly translated as The Shielded Alliance, that collaborates with many indigenous communities of the area with a particular emphasis on the Shipibo people. One of their main projects in Santa Clara is a permaculture project that will eventually reforest the deforested region around the town and provide one meal a day for the local children that attend the elementary school in the village.
After our short but sweet time in the Amazon, we transitioned back to a bustling city as we made our way to Urubamba, a city in the Sacred Valley that is a stop for many people going from Cuzco to Machu Picchu. In addition to learning about Urubambin@s first-hand from host families, during our ten days in this vibrant town, students took Spanish classes daily, worked with local mentors on independent study projects focused on learning about Andean instruments, Andean spirituality, Permaculture, and Andean weaving.
Our time in Urubamba came to an end and we said goodby to our host families and new community partners as we transitioned into the expedition phase of our course where students prepared for a 'mini-expedition,' where they would take on most, if not all, the leadership and logistics. Student leaders took us on the three-day trek of Salkantay a sacred apu or mountain that is one entry point to the Machu Picchu ruins. Our expedition took us through the Sacred Valley where we delved into the meaning behind being a traveler versus being a tourist on oftentime crowded parts of our journey as we headed to visit the ancient Incan ruins of Machu Picchu. We were fortunate enough to have Favian, a wonderfully joyful guide and spiritual leader. Favian's quena (Andean flute) playing floated through the air as we took one step after another on sacred ground. His music was a plea to the mountains to allow us to journey safely, purposefully, and most importantly, to secure an invitation to journey at all. On the day we climbed from our campsite up the steps to Machu Picchu park and up more steps to Machu Picchu mountain, Favian taught us much about the quickly fading culture through an impactful pachamama ceremony, a blessing and sacrifice for pachamama, or mother earth at the Incan bridge.
We then returned to the outskirts of Urubamba, where we transitioned into our transference phase of program. We continued sharing our own stories and that of our time together and discussed how to translate what we learned and experienced in Peru to our lives back home. These final days flew by and we soon found ourselves in the heart of Peru–Cusco–basking in the light of the full moon as it sat over snowy Ausangate. In the light of the moon we offered praise, gratitude, and appreciation for the people we had met, the lives that had touched us, the places we had only briefly known, and the impact that it already had on our lives. After saying our goodbyes, we were ready to take our individual stories, now altered by the sacred apus and their inhabitants, out to our respective parts of the world.
Coming back from the place you started from and telling your story is always an interesting exercise that for me never gets easier with time. Hearing Erv and his family read his memoir gave me some hope about how storytelling can be more integrated into our experiences. I'm currently filled with a light mist of sadness because of the people and the places that I always seem to leave behind in a mission to keep moving forward with the tides of time. Sometimes the visibility through that mist is pretty good, but other times that mist clouds my vision and I have trouble seeing at all. I hope that through this account you can see some parts of my story during these last couple of months and I thank you for journeying with me.

R82, Inc. was started in 1987 by Janet and Kirk MacKenzie, and Carlisle and Norman Scott, to distribute an innovative product developed in Scotland for children who required postural assistance to sit properly. The product, appropriately called the Snug Seat, was immediately embraced by the U.S. medical community which opened our eyes to the lack of appropriate products for our kids. Our success allowed us to expand our focus to include developing and manufacturing new products to enable children with special needs to live a better and more inclusive life-style.
In 1996 Snug Seat became the North American distributor for R82 A/S, a Danish company with the same commitment to helping children. This alliance allowed R82 to gain a foothold in North America and provided Snug Seat access to products that had a reputation for design, function, and manufacturing excellence. The relationship was so successful that R82 acquired a controlling interest in Snug Seat in 1998 which they still maintain.

"Jeffrey Cheung's acrylic paintings engage the viewer as both abstract portraiture and intimate representations of desire. For "Closer", the artist focuses on the physical interactions and affections between men. The figures prevalent throughout the work are exuberant in their movement, typically embracing one another with meandering arms. Oftentimes identical in appearance, these male nudes are rendered in a simplistic manner and energetic color palette. Cheung's compositions closely hug each figure, abstracting their movements on the canvas and further exaggerating their playfully-contorted positions. In response to heteronormative erotic art, the work re-examines gender norms and provides an empowering celebration of human connection.
In addition to painting, Cheung's figures are also given life through various mediums on paper. "Closer" will feature four fragmented collages alongside a group of small ink drawings and Risograph prints. Achieved in the same minimal fashion as their acrylic counterparts, these works on paper examine different scenarios of emotional and physical expression. By way of this delicate and changeable material, Cheung responds to recent experiences and observations."

Study: World's seagrass beds are declining
A University of New Hampshire scientist says the world's seagrass beds -- important habitats, food sources and sediment stabilizers -- are disappearing.
Research Professor Frederick Short said as the shallow water seagrass ecosystems disappear, so do commercially valuable fish, waterfowl and other wildlife, as well as water quality and erosion prevention.
Short, founder of the global monitoring program SeagrassNet, collaborates with teams of researchers to monitor seagrass at 45 sites in 17 nations.
"Almost everywhere we start monitoring seagrass, it's declining," he says. And while conclusive global results are not yet available, Short says he is fairly certain the causes are consistent around the world: human impact.
For example, at a state park in Malaysia satellite imaging showed the disappearance of the seagrass beds was not due to a global force like climate change, but rather to on-shore logging that had increased the level of water-borne sediments.
Short and his SeagrassNet colleagues have not ruled out global climate change as a factor in the decline of seagrass beds. Yet, so far, he's found the affects on seagrass to be far more localized.

Thomastown in Kilkenny is a funny town. It is beautiful looking and full of hippys but also has a rough edge to it. There are all sorts of art workshops and tea shops that the posh people run during the day and at night there is an air of menace and divilment about some of the pubs there.
John Martyn the towns most famous resident seems to also traverse these two characteristics. He has the hippy spirituality of his friend Nick Drake but also looked and acted like he was well up for a row.
It turns out that Thomastown may have always had the strange mixture of spiritual and hedonistic. Just outside the town is the famous Jerpoint Abbey and close to there is the newly rediscovered and Newtown.
The story of Newtown is that some Norman knights from Kilkenny headed off on the crusades in the 12 century. Taking religious relics was one of the major hobbies of the time like pokemon but with dead people. These two took back to Newtown what they claimed were Santa's bones and relics of St Nicholas. The story goes they got these in modern day Turkey. The aim of collecting these was possibly to create a tourist attraction to compete with other relics in Ireland. There is no way of telling at this remove that they were but contemporary accounts at least reveal that the people of the time believed they were.
The town thrived with these relics used as a draw for tourists and pilgrims. A three story church of St Nicholas was built.Goatsbridge farm which shows how little changes over time.
On the grave of Santa himself is the famous symbol of St Nicolas, the three figures.St Nicholas is the patron saint of pawn shops.
The town was abandoned when the plague struck around 1346. Mills were havens for rats and towns were decimated while the more Gaelic countryside was much less effected. Monk John Clyn in nearby Kilkenny as the plague descended wrote the chilling 'so that the writing does not perish with the writer, or the work fail with the workman, I leave parchment for continuing the work, in case anyone should still be alive in the future and any son of Adam can escape this pestilence and continue the work thus begun'. The bridge over the river collapsed though the remains can still be seen. And the very existence of the town faded from memory to only recently be rediscovered. The stones from the houses were used in the railway bridge you can see form the ruins of Newtown.
The grave of St Nicholas is well worth a visit. The tour is informative and entertaining. The site is not over developed like some Irish tourist destinations. And the trip ends on the brilliant Father Ted touch of watching a sheep dog herd geese. Next time you are in Kilkenny head to Thomastown and Jerpoint and take the right lane up by the fish farm, it will at least save you money on Christmas presents.

The Holy Father speaks to Children:
Your First Holy Communion
Pope John Paul II speaks directly to children about the solemn importance of First Holy Communion in this excerpt from his "Letter to Children" written in 1994 during the "Year of the Family".
Dear friends, There is no doubt that an unforgettable meeting with Jesus is First Holy Communion, a day to be remembered as one of life's most beautiful.
The Eucharist, instituted by Christ at the Last Supper on the night before His passion, is a sacrament of the New Covenant -- the greatest of the sacraments. In this sacrament, the Lord becomes food for the soul under the appearances of bread and wine.
Children receive this sacrament solemnly a first time -- in First Holy Communion -- and are encouraged to receive it afterward as often as possible in order to remain in close friendship with Jesus.
To be able to receive Holy Communion, as you know, it is necessary to have received baptism: this is the first of the sacraments and the one most necessary for salvation. Baptism is a great event! In the Church's first centuries, when baptism was received mostly by grownups, the ceremony ended with receiving the Eucharist, and was as solemn as first Holy Communion is today. Later on, when baptism began to be given mainly to newborn babies -- and this is the case of many of you, dear children, so that in fact you do not remember the day of your baptism -- the more solemn celebration was transferred to the moment of First Holy Communion.
Every boy and every girl belonging to a Catholic family knows all about this custom: First Holy Communion is a great family celebration. On that day, together with the one who is making his or her First Holy Communion, the parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, godparents, and sometimes also the instructors and teachers, generally receive the Eucharist.
The day of First Holy Communion is also a great day of celebration in the parish. I remember as though it were yesterday when, together with the other boys and girls of my own age, I received the Eucharist for the first time in the parish church of my town. This event is usually commemorated in a family photo, so that it will not be forgotten. Photos like these generally remain with a person all through his or her life. As time goes by, people take out these pictures and experience once more the emotions of those moments; they return to the purity and joy experienced in that meeting with Jesus, the one who out of love became the Redeemer of Man.
For how many children in the history of the Church has the Eucharist been a source of spiritual strength, sometimes even heroic strength! How can we fail to be reminded, for example, of holy boys and girls who lived in the first centuries and are still known and venerated throughout the Church? Saint Agnes, who lived in Rome; Saint Agatha, who was martyred in Sicily; Saint Tarcisius, a boy who is rightly called the "martyr of the Eucharist" because he preferred to die rather than give up Jesus, whom he was carrying under the appearance of bread.
John Paul II

There are two types of Duplass Brothers completists. If you don't know the Duplass brothers, Mark and Jay, they are often credited as key players in the 'mumblecore' movement of filmmaking. If you don't know 'mumblecore,' watch the Duplass' Sundance-selected debut feature, The Puffy Chair, and any film directed by Andrew Buljaski or Joe Swanberg. I'll wait.
Anyway, as I was saying, there are two types of Duplass Brothers completists. You could see every movie starring a Duplass brother – Mark has developed quite an acting career of his own – or you can see every movie they have written and directed (always together). The SXSW 2012-selected Do-Deca-Pentathlon falls into the latter category.
It stars relatively unknown actors Steve Zissis and Mark Kelly as two grown brothers who still maintain a strong sibling rivalry. Zissis plays a depressed family man who wants to have a nice birthday weekend at his mom's without his brother's interference. Kelly plays an untamed professional poker player who can't resist crashing the birthday weekend.
As with many Duplass brothers movies (of both types), the relationship between the brothers is well-developed. We see the jealousy they each have for the lives of the other as well as a certain begrudging love. I bought these two as brothers more than I did the pair in Jeff Who Lives at Home, the other recent Duplass-written and Duplass-directed film, starring Jason Segel and Ed Helms.
As the brothers in Do-Deca-Pentathlon re-ignite the titular sibling sports competition, the mom (Julie Vorus) and the wife (Jennifer Lafleur) raise objections. But the movie makes them smart enough to see right through the childish gambits the brothers use to disguise their epic sports challenge. The movie walks a fine line between dramatic sports movie, silly comedy and laid-back slice of life. I wouldn't always say it makes it work, but the heart is in the right place.
So, back to the Duplass completists of the second type. This movie is for them, mostly, as I see it. The Duplass charm is present, but the film isn't particularly ambitious or affecting. Apparently this movie was developed pre-Puffy Chair, which might explain why it feels like a step backwards from Jeff (as much as I disliked the gooey spiritual message Jeff dispenses) in terms of assuredness.
The concept of grown men clashing childishly in an epic sports competition is a promising one, (and true, apparently based on two real brothers the Duplasses knew growing up). But the potential is barely exploited. While the stakes are high for the Zissis character, they are unclear for the Kelly character. And the sporting competitions are mostly shown in montage, with only one laser tag sequence that seems to advance the plot and develop the characters at the same time as building suspense about who will win.
With Girls on HBO, and the Duplasses and Greta Gerwig working in Hollywood, it seems like mumblecore has gone mainstream. I'd like to hope that movies like Do-Deca, which are more fundamentalist (mumble-hard-core?), will still be made and enjoyed. But watching this film, I fear that the zeitgeist is ready to move on from twenty-somethings and their non-problems. Now that the mumblers are turning 30, is it time to put away childish things and make films about bigger issues? Jeff Who Lives At Home was dealing with this, and so is Do-Deca, in its own way. But the answers provided (rely on mystical coincidences, lose some weight) are still juvenile.

Heuston Station, in west Dublin City, is Irish Rail's gateway to the south & west of Ireland. Originally named Kingsbridge Station, after the adjacent 1822 built bridge across the River Liffey, it was renamed Heuston in 1966, after a 1916 leader Sean Heuston. Up to the 1970s, Heuston had only three platforms, today it has ten, the tenth platform (now out of use) being located on the Islandbridge Junction to Glasnevin Junction line, which was used during the reconstruction of the station from 2002 to 2004.
Heuston Station building is one of the finest in Dublin City, built by the Great Southern & Western Railway in 1844, with the construction of their line to Carlow in 1846. In 1935, the then Great Southern Railway re-signalled Heuston Station with colour light signals and electronic signalling, this however was replaced during the rebuilding, which also involved the demolition of the GSR built signal cabin just west of the station. The rebuilding also brought about a refurbishment of the train shed and booking hall, and the results today are very pleasing giving a pleasant atmosphere to the station.

Study Options
Duke's Focus Program for first-year students provides clusters of courses designed around an interdisciplinary theme. Focus faculty come from academic departments in Arts & Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering and are leading researchers in their fields. Topics for study include several themes that draw from the Linguistics Program.
The Linguistics Program has a strong tradition of supervising students who elect to write an honors thesis. Faculty are able to offer expert supervision in a wide range of areas. You will benefit from intense one-to-one supervision from dedicated and experienced educators. You should approach faculty as supervisors in the Spring semester before your final year. The thesis is written as an 'independent study' class which is graded, and the final thesis is awarded a level of pass, distinction, higher distinction or highest distinction. All proposals must be submitted to the Linguistics office in 316 Languages or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Linguistics faculty are able to offer research independent study in a wide range of areas. Particular strengths include neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, language and politics, and historical linguistics, though faculty are willing to consider supervision in any aspect of language study. Many affiliated faculty offer region-specific expertise.

Kicking it around with the Revolution's Kelyn Rowe
(An occasional series in which the Globe commutes to work with a Boston athlete)
Revolution midfielder Kelyn Rowe takes a sip of black coffee from a stainless steel container and navigates out of a South End alley shortly before 8 a.m., bound for Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
He wears fashionably ripped shorts and an untucked blue short-sleeve shirt. On his wristband is the motto of a 12-year-old girl who battled cancer, and it's also his philosophy of life.
"Never Ever Give Up," it reads.
Rowe, 25, has been named the Revolution's Humanitarian of the Year three years running (2014-16), and last year he was voted team MVP by the fans.
Coach Jay Heaps says Rowe reminds him of two things: a Swiss Army knife, because he can play just about any position, and a Labrador Retriever, forever chasing a ball.
"He just runs and runs and runs," says Heaps.
Rowe recently was named to the US men's national team 23-man roster for the first time. He played all three games in group play in the CONCACAF Gold Cup but then was left off the roster for the knock-out portion. He had a goal and an assist.
Q. What's it like being a newcomer for the United States men's national team for the Gold Cup?
A. It's just the best feeling you can feel. Honestly, I just have mixed emotions of excitement and a dream come true.
Q. When is the US going to win a World Cup?
A. I think we have years to go, unfortunately.
Q. In your playing lifetime?
A. My playing lifetime would be a stretch, maybe. Probably towards the end of my career. I think what [US coach] Bruce Arena is doing now is great. He's going back to the system that has worked. He's bringing in younger guys to develop them early. So hopefully in my playing time — in eight, nine more years — knock on wood. I hope for 10 more years, so we'll see.
Q. When you walk around the South End, do you get recognized?
A. No, not a bit. Not in Boston, which is kind of nice, 'cause you can kind of walk around. I don't have to look presentable all the time. I can go and not get scrutinized for having a glass of wine for dinner. It's great. No one is in your face the whole time. You can kind of be yourself and no one is snapping a photo of you.
Q. What about Boston drivers?
A. They're very aggressive. Driving in the city, oh, I hate it, especially in the South End. It's a tight little area with people double parking. Not caring. It's the honking the moment the light turns green. It's, like, all right man, I'm trying to drink my coffee.
Q. Let's talk about the humanitarian work you do with the Jessie Rees Foundation, encouraging kids with cancer by visiting them in hospitals and hosting them at games. How did "Kelyn's NEGU [Never Ever Give Up] Crew" start?
A. The first kid was David, a Brazilian kid, 10 or 11, who loved soccer. He was stuck in the hospital with his little brother, who was more terminally ill than he was. So he was going through a hard time. His parents were stressed.
I took it upon myself to say, "Let's get this kid the biggest event we can because he deserves it. Let's not just get him tickets to the game, let's get him the full experience because he might not be able to do it again."
So we started this game-day event, which is really cool where the kids get to go down right in front of the field for warm-ups. They get to see my teammates and give them high-fives, they get recognized as honorees. They get to sit in a box with their family and bring as many people as can fit. They kind of let loose for the game.
Then after the game, they get to walk the field with me, which is the coolest part because all the fans start clapping for them. And they get this sense of support, which I've learned every kid wants and every kid needs, especially in those scenarios when they're in the hospital for some time and they're kind of down on themselves.
You could see smiles on their faces, and his mother teared up when fans were clapping and cheering his name. It was chilling.
Q. [As we drive past the former home of the Globe in Dorchester.] Should we put the new stadium right here?
A. That would be very nice; it would be really easy to get to, 93, nice and easy, quick. I think having a stadium in Boston would be best for not only the club but also the fans. It would be a more intimate area. They do well making it just the lower bowl [at Gillette Stadium], but it's hard to fill out a 70,000-seat stadium. It could be louder. It could be more intimate. It could be a lot of things.
Q. Do you get energy off the crowd?
A. You do. Oh yeah. Imagine a small bowl and you hear this big unanimous roar; it would just push you forward.
Q. What about the artificial turf at Gillette Stadium? Do you like it?
A. I grew up playing on it, so it's OK to me. In Washington [state], it rains a ton, so grass gets beat up so easily it's hard to play on anything else. But do I like grass better? Yes, because it's easier on your body and the ball moves pretty well.
Q. Whom have you run into at Gillette, football-wise?
A. Just about everyone. We cross paths [with the Patriots] when they are in season just about every morning. We were walking out to practice once and we see [Rob] Gronkowski kind of jog by us. He's a gigantic human, especially for me, who is 5-8.
So he's kind of jogging by us pretty slow and then all of a sudden we feel this other guy jogging past us. It's Tom Brady, buzzing by. All of a sudden, he's running up to Gronkowski and kind of jumps into him, gives him a big shoulder budge, and you can see Gronkowski go over and Tom Brady just smiles and says, "Come on, bitch."
I had a bunch of New England guys with me and they said, "That was probably the coolest moment of my life. That was really cool."
Q. When I see "United Health Care" on the front of your uniforms, I think of being on hold on the telephone. Why can't your uniforms just say "Revs" or "Revolution" big on the front?
A. They must have bumped up their sponsorship. It's funny, we go on the road, they ask, "What is UHC?" I say, "We're here for a conference."
Q. Does your versatility playing different positions cut into your potential for stardom?
A. I've actually had this conversation with the coaching staff and management. I'm all for being a soldier if it means I'm playing, because that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to play.
But, yeah, we had the discussion; we had it about the All-Star team. If I'm getting half the votes for defender and the other half for midfielder, I'm only getting half the votes. So it's not fair.
It's frustrating, yes, but a soldier will be a soldier.
Q. You played almost every position last year?
A. Except for goalie and center back, and I think I've done the same this year.
Q. Where do you like to play?
A. I want to play center midfield, whether it is forward or back. It doesn't matter. I like being in the center. Even if you don't have the ball, you're kind of directing everyone. You're the guy. I like to be the guy.
Q. If you had to choose between team MVP or Humanitarian of the Year, which means more to you?
A. I think the humanitarian probably means the most, because for me it means I'm making a difference off the field as well as on. As far as everything I will do in this career, I will be remembered for a lot more than just my soccer, and that's very cool.
Q. The Revs are 0-5 in the MLS finals, and you're living in a town with spoiled fans that have watched 10 duck boat parades this century. How does that feel?
A. I can't tell you how my heart just dropped when we lost that 2014 final. It was so disappointing because we had a good team. But yeah, I tell you what, it's a lot of pressure. If we want to be recognized as a Boston sport, we've got to win a freakin' title.
Q. I hear you like to cook. What's your go-to dish?
A. I'm trying to perfect steak tacos. So I make my own marinade. So I've got cumin, chili pepper, I've got some oregano, I puree some kiwi, oh yeah, garlic, lime, cilantro. Then I kind of marinate that. Then I grill it.
Q. Are you a Newbury Street shopper?
A. I am a Newbury Street shopper just because I like walking Newbury.
I'll go to a bunch of stores on Newbury Street. I'll try to up my fashion there. I try to get classier and classier but I'm not sure it actually works. Sometimes I want to wear a suit because I look good in a suit. I'm decently simple. Jeans and a T-shirt for me are great. If I want to get flashy, sometimes it's over the top and it's fun. Sometimes you've got to have fun.
Q. You've seen Stuart Singer, the sports psychology performance coach. How does that go? Do you lie down and say, "The ball's not going in the net?"
A. When I first went in, I was kind of expecting there was going to be a [expletive] couch there and I thought I'd have to lay down on this couch and feel like an idiot. But no, it's just him and me in his office having a conversation.
I called him about a week ago because I was getting anxious [about making the national team]. I was getting worried that every play that I had was going to be judged. And it might be, but I can't think that way. If I think that way, I'm not going to play my best.
So he was talking about what is my best self. It's when I'm having fun. When I'm relaxed. If I'm doing those things well, I'm going to have a great game.
Q. Does the net look bigger sometimes than other times?
A. It doesn't look bigger, but man it sounds good sometimes. When you feel it off your foot and you just hear that sound of that tshhhuuuuuuuu. Oh, it's great.
Q. You're good at shooting from far out.
A. I like my shots from a distance. That's one of my go-to's.
Q. What about spin?
A. I don't put too much curve on the ball. In fact, the guys give me a hard time at practice. I hit a knuckleball most of the time. It's great, it's like the Mighty Ducks. They say, "Kelyn hit the knuckle puck."
Q. What about your name? It's like a typo.
A. Tell my mom that. She's all about something different. My sisters' names are Bree and Bailey. My mom and dad are both football fans and there was a football player Kellen Winslow.
Q. Different spelling, though.
A. Different spelling. Because she wanted her difference.
Q. I feel like we disrespect soccer in a lot of ways. Very few people overall know who you are, and you're the Revolution's MVP.
A. Do I feel disrespected? Not at all. It's because soccer is not a big deal in Boston yet. As much as I am in the community, people would rather see an Edelman, a Brady, a Papi, that type of thing. They don't want to see me yet. Yet. They will.
Q. How are you going to change that?
A. By, No. 1, being on the national team and getting the world to recognize me, and, honestly, a stadium in Boston.
Q. Most professional athletes have big SUVs. You don't. What kind of car is this?
A. Ford Fusion Hybrid. Saving the world, one drive at a time.

Request- Ritsu by Payupuu on DeviantArt
So hey! I sadly haven't been updating this site very actively since there is this new voicebank for Ritsu being worked on since December! It's been called 'PLATONIC' from the very start and still goes by that name. I got this new mic and firstly I was going to record a tri-pitch CV voicebank. But that idea had to go to the trashcan since my voice can't reach enough notes for that.
But, then I was told what VCV's actually are and how they work and what's with the otoing thing?! And yea, Ritsu is going to have mono-pitch VCV voicebank, hooray!! *Random clapping*
So uh, the higher pitch is D4 and I recorded it shouting~ So the voicebank is going to be power like!~ *Insert dancing emoji* Lower pitch is A3 and that one I recorded as clear and stable as I could.
And here's some oto sample I got!
Yeah, so far sounds good! Some people might already have noticed that I've also changed the way to write her surname in kanji. 野之村リツ, You can check all the meanings from the 'Who's Ritsu?'- page.
And right now, her oto and boxart picture are still work in progress by two other people than me. Those are the only limits to her release! Also, the design for PLATONIC has been public for two months already and can be viewed from below.

Trash Free Park
This program is designed to encourage reuse and recycling practices. We all share the responsibility for managing solid waste and the park's environment. Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site, Fort Necessity National Battlefield, Friendship Hill National Historic Site and Johnstown Flood National Memorial participate in the "Leave no Trace" program.
The many benefits of this program include removing garbage and recycling containers and associated odors from within the park, reducing annoying pests and unsightly conditions. Eliminating the need for disposal services will also allow the parks an opportunity to make more productive use of available park resources.
Where to Eat
There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of fare, or pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the day! There is a wooded picnic area within the park as well as tables near the visitor center. There are no grills available or fires allowed near the visitor center tables.

The Lion of Solkara has gone through another edit and been sent off to another novel pubisher. It took me days but I think I made it into a much better story. I ended up adding about 12,000 words.
I'll have to wait and see if it gets accepted. Just like with my short stories I am planning on giving it a good edit every time it gets rejected. So far it has worked with my short fiction. I have had stories accepted after many rejections. Sometimes being accepted into better paying markets than the ones I got rejected from.

Sensible Bakwas » personal » Wish
"If god granted you three wishes, what would you wish for and why?" read the question in my 9th grade half yearly english paper. It was an essay which was meant to fetch me 25 marks in the paper, but it ended up changing my entire life, actually, ended up changing my dad's life more than mine. I'll explain how at the end of this post. Here is how the essay went –
We all wish for something or the other at some point of time in life. As a kid we wish for a chocolate or a fancy toy. As we grow older, our demands increase and keep changing. As they say desires are endless, don't they? Well I don't know what you would wish for, but here are my three wishes:
My first wish would be to ask god to grant me opportunities. To be successful I think the first thing a person needs is opportunities. There are many people in this world who aren't as fortunate as I am to be studying in a good school, to have good clothes to wear. There are children in this world who are handicapped and disabled and hence don't get the opportunity to achieve what they want to. That's why I believe, the first step to achieve anything is to have opportunities.
My second wish would be to ask god to grant me the strength to overcome obstacles. If god grants me opportunities, I would definitely face obstacles in my path to achieve my goal and that's why I would want god to grant me the power to overcome those obstacles. Not just in my quest to conquer my dreams, but if tomorrow, god forbid not, if someone close to me happens to pass away, I would not want to sit and cry over the loss. Instead I would want to look at the people who need me at that time.
My third wish would be to ask god to grant the ability to spread happiness and share my sorrows with the people around me. As they say happiness is doubled and sorrows are halved when it is spread with other people. I would definitely be happy when I achieve whatever I set out to achieve and sad when I am unable to achieve it. Whatever it may I would like to share it with the people who are close to me.
So here are the wishes I would ask god if he granted me three wishes. I believe these are the three most important things that would make me a successful person.
Now coming to how it changed my dad's life – My dad used to have this huge phobia that he will pass away when I was 14 since his dad passed away when my dad was 14. When he read this essay, specially the last line in the third paragraph where I talk of my second wish, it just somehow changed how he looks at me and ended that whole phobia that he was going through and believe me, my dad has been a changed person ever since.
