The constituents Of An Online Nursing Course
The programme listing of online care scope education are a union of the largest aspects of biology, carnal science and communal subject. It likewise includes course on rush of kindliness in a nurse's profession and crucial environment of broad subject field. The alpha field areas sun-drenched in attention scope courses are: The composition of Human Body, the functions of miscellaneous organic structure parts, the essentials of pharmacy, rudimentary learned profession complications; and connecting and precocious research of diet and nutrition. The art of treatment beside patients and attendants and the adeptness to act in the occasion of an exigency is likewise educated to the students.
All levels of online nursing degrees are accessible on the Internet. One can exploration for online aid continuing instruction degrees like associate's magnitude in Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Nursing or Master of Science in Nursing. Some universities or colleges besides have constant highly developed degrees and papers choices. The time period of these courses can compass from two to four years. Let us piecemeal inspection a few of these care degrees.Post ads:

'When it's wine o'clock, the menu at Shantell, in Dixons Creek makes free with the cellar door stock.'
This is Melbourne's back yard, at only an hour's drive away, and oh what a fertile patch of ground it is. The Yarra Valley is the birthplace of the Victorian wine industry and has more than 90 wineries, best known for wonderful pinot noirs and sparklings.
You'll come across a huge variety of cellar-door operations; from bustling grand temples to the grape, to rustic tin sheds where it's just you and the winemaker.Pinot noirs and sparklings are the stars, but there's plenty of other wines to try too.
Healesville, set in a lovely virgin bush-backed valley, makes a good base, with a down-to-earth vibe, great food and proximity to a number of (non-wine related) attractions. It's a very doable day trip, but with a growing number of great accommodation options and plenty of things to fill a few days, not to mention just relaxing among the pretty countryside, an easy weekend here makes a lot of sense.
Getting there
Via Lilydale, east on the Maroondah Highway, it should take around an hour. You can catch a suburban train to Lilydale, then a local (and slow) bus on to Healesville.
When you get there
The Healesville Hotel is the city slicker's dream version of a country pub: lots of laid-back rustic ambience but no League of Gentlemen style stares or cling-wrapped cheese and chutney sandwiches. Instead, it's beef and ale pie with mash and peas, local beers and vinyl on the turntable.
International tourists flock to the Healesville Sanctuary, and we challenge you to act the jaded Australian when you come face to face with the kangaroos, koalas, dingos and native owls and eagles who live here. The Platypus House is a real treat, both architecturally and because how often do you get to see such happily splashing platypuses in your day job?
If you're more into culture than nature, the Tarrawarra Museum of Art (TWMA) has an important, unique collection of Australian modernist work from the 1950s. The gallery's architecture is also notable, a bold contemporary statement but one that sits beautifully in the Yarra Valley landscape. You can stay for lunch (there's an express two-course lunch with a glass of wine for $50) at the nearby TarraWarra Estate.
Vinotherapy sounds like fun (and no need to count alcohol units). The Natskin Day Spa, part of the Balgownie Estate Resort, harnesses the anti-ageing properties of grape seed in a two-hour signature treatment package that includes exfoliation, a pinot noir body mask and the rather kinky-sounding geisha bath as well as an ooh-ah scalp massage.
If you don't mind a drive to dinner, De Bortoli's in nearby Dixon's Creek has a wonderfully back-to-basics, contemporary Italian menu. If you prefer to stay local, take in the views from 3777 at Mt Rael or grab a city-style buffala-topped pizza to go from Giant Steps.
A cellar door for breakfast? Well, this is the Yarra Valley. As much as the Giant Steps/Innocent Bystander wines appeal, it's the bakery that pulls them in at this hour. Their artisan sourdough is good enough to gobble on its own, but even better toasted with jam and French butter. Equally fabulous are the caneles (hello, the new friand), a little cake originally from Bordeaux with a toffee crisp skin enclosing a puddingy, vanilla-flavoured centre. Perfect with the house-roasted coffee.
If it's the third Sunday of the month, head off to the Yarra Valley Regional Farmers' Market no crack of dawn waking required, it kicks off at a civilised 9am) at the old barn at Yering Station (9am to 2pm; 38 Melba Highway, Yarra Glen; phone (03) 9730 0114).
When it's wine o'clock, the menu at Shantell in Dixons Creek makes free with the cellar door stock, featuring lovely wine reduction sauces and simple mod Oz cooking. For something more casual (and a cheese splurge), the Yarra Valley Dairy is a long-time local favourite.
The biggest problem about wine touring here is one of too much choice. If you're on the lookout for boutique drops, construct a DIY itinerary of your own: the Wine Yarra Valley website has a comprehensive coverage of wineries, and handily details the grapes grown and wines produced. Otherwise the big players offer enough to make up for the Sunday tour bus circus, be it architectural interest Domaine Chandon), a brimming local produce store (Yering Station), or a rustic, surprisingly simple cellar door experience Coldstream Hills and De Bortoli's). And, it goes without saying, the wines are fabulous.
What to bring home
A case of Domaine Chandon's sparkling.
Where to stay
Healesville Hotel has big high-ceilinged pub rooms, which have been nicely gussied up without losing their charm. Yes, it's authentic — bathrooms down the hall, boys.
If the bright, individually styled suites at Mt Rael Retreat can feel a bit too pleased with their own design credentials, the magnificent 270-degree valley views, spacious bathrooms and comfort factor will win you over.
Tara Rise is a genteel, historical property that doesn't skimp on contemporary style (think Aesop products in the ensuites and beds cosied with mohair throws). Plus it's set in stunning gardens (there's even a lake), inspired by the work of Royal Botanical Garden's director Ferdinand Von Mueller.
Balgownie Estate Resort & Spa is a winery-based option with all the resort facilities — steam room, tennis, gym, spa — and simply furnished rooms and suites.
Chateau Yering Historic House Hotel is the full top-dollar heritage disaster, and some say past its prime, but the suites here are huge and have lovely valley views.
What to splurge on
Taking in the valley vista from a hot-air balloon.

Status: OR Michael A. Greenly wrote on rec.games.programmer: >> Hello, >> For a game running under Windows 95, what would be the best way to use >> >> the Win32 threads? > >[snip] > > It seems the popular answer was don't use threads.

In addition I beleive the performace hit associated >with high thread counts has been exagerated.
I think the performance hit depends greatly on the kind of game you have. In my game (which has a lot of calculations on a grid map), there are some things that help me use threads without a big performance hit:
- The simulation thread is the only one that modifies the map.
- The display thread is NOT bothered if it gets inconsistent information from the map. It will just fix itself the next time through the drawing loop.
- The input thread doesn't directly affect the map, but instead puts requests in a queue which is read by the simulation thread.
Locking data structures is a big source of slowdowns in multithreaded programs. The main data in my game is the map -- but I *don't* need to lock it! This is because only one thread writes to it, and only one other thread reads from it; the display thread doesn't depend on consistent information being in the map, so if the simulation thread is in the middle of updating it, it's OKAY.
The data structure that _does_ need to be locked is the input queue. However, I have some nice properties in my threads:
- The simulation thread only READS and CHECKS (for non zero size).
- The input thread only WRITES.
I don't have to lock the queue unless it's short, since reads and writes are done far away from each other. There aren't _that_ many input events (mouse clicks, mostly) so locking the queue for reads and writes isn't a major problem.
There _are_, however, a lot of checks (to see if the queue is empty), but the queue doesn't have to be locked for this (!): only the simulation thread could possibly decrement the size, so that thread does not have to worry about the queue going to zero size while it's checking it. (It doesn't matter if the queue increases in size -- the simulation thread just wants to know if it's empty or not. Also, it's OKAY if the simulation thread found a zero size while the size is being incremented -- it'll just pick it up the next time around the loop.)
I can't really recommend threads to everyone, but in some cases, threads can work. The main thing to watch for is locking of data structures. If you don't lock enough, you'll have HORRENDOUS bugs that disappear every time you try to find them. If you lock too much, your game will be slow. However, if you can arrange your threads and your data so that simultaneous access is tolerated, then you may be able to get good performance without excessive use of locking. Try to make sure that only one thread can write, and make sure that reading inconsistent data is not a problem. Also, make sure that threads work decently on your platform of choice. :-)- Amit

Alt-I-Lab 2005 Demonstrators
The Alt-I-Lab conference has a regular demonstrators session where participants can show off their latest interoperability wares to the assembled crowd. This session tends to be held in an informal market-style which lends itself to a great deal of informed discussion between participants and really is at the core of what the Alt-I-Lab conference is about.
To ensure that the demonstrations are good examples of interoperability, Alt-I-Lab lay down some general ground rules:
- The demonstration must involve three or more participants.
- The demonstration must address an interoperability issue of concern to the community
- There must be three or more implementations of the scenario available for demonstration
- The means of implementation must be documented and available for potential release to the public.
Learning Design
The tools being demonstrated for the Learning Design session were the OUNL's CopperCore, iClass ASK-LDT and the RELOAD LD Editor produced by CETIS. Colin Tattersall from the OUNL and Colin Milligan from CETIS/University of Strathclyde presented the demo which aimed to show the life cycle of a learning design from creation, through editing, configuration and actual classroom-style use. One of the participants, Pythagoras Karampiperis of CERTH unfortunately could not make it to the conference due to injury.
The educational scenario chosen was a reasonably complex one involving several different roles - two students and a facilitator engaging in a group activity, in this case a discussion of the merits of the new EU Constitution. Learners were expected to give opinions and respond to each others opinions while being monitored by the facilitator.
Colin started by showing ASK-LDT which provides a tree-like interface for editing and creating learning designs - to set up the roles and learning activities detailed in the scenario. A Unit of Learning (UoL) which in true Blue Peter style had been prepared earlier was produced from under the counter still steaming and we examined it's various nodes. As far as I can tell, ASK-LDT is not generally available at the time of writing - for more information see http://www.iclass.info/
The completed UoL contained in a IMS Learning Design package was then uploaded into CopperCore and validated, which declared it syntactically and semantically correct. A little setup work using CopperCores rather un-friendly command line interface assigned users to the various roles defined in the UoL after which the scenario was ready to roll.
People from the crowd were selected to fill the various roles two learners got down to entering initial thoughts on the EU Constitution watched by the beady eyes of the facilitator who was able to view the various comments.
CopperCore capturing thoughts on the European Constitution
Following this it was decided that the learner contributions should be changed so to be anonymous and the design was opened up in the RELOAD editor to make the appropriate tweak before being loaded back into CopperCore and played through for a second time. Like ASK-LDT the RELOAD Learning Design editor uses a tree-like view with forms to fill in for each node. Both editing tools are aimed at people who already have some understanding of the specification - and while it takes out much of the effort of typing angle brackets and remembering which attributes go where, the fundamentals of needing to know what is meant by a play or a role still apply.
All the tools being demonstrated could take some refinement from a user-interface perspective, removing some of the more mechanical tasks of pushing files around from a designers workflow (perhaps by employing the Repository OSID) and creating a graphical interface for role-assignment in CopperCore should be high on the priority list.
Tools Interoperability
The IMS Tools Interoperability spec came out of a need for Virtual Learning Environments to be able to hand over control to other systems. These could be anything from Assessment engines to simulations or even content authoring environments. The goal is that these bolted-on tools appear to become part of the VLE - in a manner invisible to the learner even though the systems are actually separate. It goes without saying that these separate systems must also have the ability to exchange data between each other.
Tools Interoperability makes use of a combination of WebServices at the back end with some clever web proxying and iFrames in the browser to make the whole thing appear reasonably seamless. The configuration, launch and deployment services which negotiate the delivery of the content are complimented by an outcome service to send any necessary messages back from the embedded system to its host.
A range of systems were tested including the APIS QTI renderer from Strathclyde, Questionmark Perception, Sakai SAMigo and ConceptTutor from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The host systems used were Sakai, Moodle WebCT and Blackboard VLE systems - which represents at least a good proportion of the Institutional LMS systems in use at present.
ConceptTutor being invoked from WebCT
In general the demonstrations of this lived up to expectations, though it wasn't always quite as seamless as it could have been - as often happens with demos. When everyone's servers and laptops were behaving themselves it was clear that the approach works and that launching specialised learning applications from generic VLE systems can finally be achieved in a replicable manner.
The implications are that through use of the Tools Interoperability Runtime and associated WebServices it will become ever more possible to integrate new kinds of learning applications within VLE systems without relying on custom integration work being undertaken for each tool employed.
Repository Interoperability
This demo was particularly successful in that it showed how interoperability can allow new and innovative re-uses of both content and resources such as repository systems. It also highlighted the fact that consumers in this case learners and educationalists have a greater degree of choice in how they make use of the resources which would never be possible if they were not interoperating.
At the Giunti end of the table, IMS Content Packages were created using Giunti Labs eXact Packager and then were uploaded to their repository application eXact LOBSTER. Similarly the Harvest Road representatives created materials in CourseGenie and using their Hive Explorer for RELOAD uploaded them to the Hive repository.
As both of these repositories make use of MIT's Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) Repository Object Service Interface Definition (OSID) the packaging tools have gained the ability to not only be interchangeable, but also one can create a new learning object with the eXact Packager using materials pulled directly from the Hive repository or for that matter any other online repository which supports the standard, including the RDN and Fedora.
The good gentlemen from OKI were on hand (accompanied by some huge flat screen monitors) demonstrating a variety of applications capable of consuming the materials from the various repositories. A Mac-based repository search tool called SearchParty, developed by MacLearningEnvironments (who seem slightly elusive... so no link) uses the Repository OSID to enable querying of these same OSID-enabled repositories and display the results with all the consistency and friendliness one expects from the Macintosh platform.
To crown the lot, Tufts Universitys VUE was shown. This is a very instantly usable tool for creating concept maps the nodes of which can contain text and images or links to web-pages, files from the local machine and resources pulled from a repository. You can add custom data-sources in a matter of moments not only to OSID enabled repositories but to Google or even an FTP server. It has a very straightforward panel for searching the data-sources and the results can be dragged straight onto your concept map and linked to any other nodes as you see fit. The maps themselves may not be stored in a standard format but it sounds like they are working on TopicMap compliance for future versions. Educationally speaking I can see this being great for teachers and lecturers during classroom use and a much needed alternative to PowerPoint. Equally for students re-constructing their learning, cataloguing resources, reflecting and revising. In fact I was so pleased with it I used it to map the resources involved in writing this article:
Tufts University VUE - Concept maps with repository searching
Coupled with quality content such as MITs Visualizing Cultures image collection or materials from the RDN (both of which were shown merrily interoperating) these tools all prove the benefits of interoperability, being able to create, store, re-use and deliver materials in a variety of ways - and that it can work simply and effectively to really enhance learning and teaching.
A final thought...
The crock of tools on display at Alt-I-Lab was testament to the increasing ability of standards and WebServices to create new possibilities for combining functionality and resources in e-learning software. As the ecosystem of standards, software and technologies mature the possibilities are becoming far more tangible. The next generation of offspring will prove that interoperability is not only possible - but that it is also really useful and worthwhile. Bring on the brave new world!

December is Christmas hamper month at the Besom in York. It's always a whirlwind of activity as we seek to match hamper referrals with givers who have offered to make them up. But it is also a time when we're even more acutely aware of our reliance on God. No matter how planned we try to be, we have to trust Him to provide all we need for this blitz of giving that happens in a few short weeks.
You can read hamper stories from previous years in posts like this one and we have even been featured on Songs of Praise. But this year, we just want to share a couple of snippets and a few photos to celebrate how God has been at work.
It can be easy for the Besom in York core team to feel overwhelmed with the sheer volume of hamper referrals we receive. After all, we only have limited pairs of hands! Therefore, it was a great answer to prayer when 13 givers turned up at Besom HQ to be part of the production line last Thursday. This was a massive encouragement.
We love it when givers really embrace hamper season as God prompts them to get involved. In one case, a lady saved up all her Nectar points from the year to spend on hamper goodies. We have heard too of a church who, having delivered a hamper to a recipient, are now planning to decorate his bedroom and give him a wardrobe.
Elsewhere, Besom supporter and regular blogger Lucy Rycroft described some of her own hamper-giving experiences in this post.
You can see the full Christmas hampers 2017 photo album on Facebook. If you like a bit of social media, why not follow us on Twitter and Instagram too.
That's all for now folks. All that remains is to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

The Deadline Is Approaching For Your Fed Ex Holiday Packages to Arrive On Time
Today is the busiest day in FedEx history as they prepare for a record-breaking 19 million packages to move throught their networks. That's about 200 packages per second. So how long do you have left to get yours shipped in time for Christmas?
FedEx says the deadline for pre-Christmas delivery via FedEx Ground is Dec. 17th.
Procrastinators: You have until Saturday, Dec. 22nd, to ship via FedEx Express for delivery (in the continental U.S.) on Christmas Eve.
In addition to their 300,000 team members, FedEx has hired about 20,000 seasonal personnel.
All of that online shopping is directly contributing to the record holiday volume of shipping...a 10 percent increase from last year.

TENNESSEE VALLEY (WHNT) – Some parts of north Alabama got three inches of rain overnight Sunday into Monday morning. There was a good bit of thunder and lightning, too – the Huntsville area lit up with lightning strikes between 2:30 and 4 a.m.
Rainfall is slowly tapering off this morning. However, more showers are possible through the afternoon as a cold front moves by.
The bad weather is blamed for a power outage overnight in northwest Huntsville. Power is restored now, but it was out from Bradford Drive south to I-565 and between Research Park Boulevard and Wynn Drive.
WHNT News 19 ARMOR Storm Vision registered 1,646 lightning strikes around 3:30 a.m.

A Walk in the Park
Now that we're approaching hot season, our daylight outdoor walks have significantly dwindled. During the cooler months, however, Ava and I would frequently walk down to the little park at the end of our street (essentially, a strip of grass and some trees). She loves walking her dolly in the stroller and you can just ...Read more

Kidville is a licensed Early Years Learning Centre that offers preschool programs for children 18 months to 4 years and an after school program for children 4 to 8 years. We are a play-based program, that encourages children to learn through exploration, play and inquiry. Click the links below to learn more or contact us to schedule a visit.
18 months – 3 years, with Parent/Caregiver
This introductory program offers grown ups and child a chance to bond while exploring all kinds of activities, including play centers, story time, blocks, art, music and gym! The KVA Prep program is designed to prepare children for a separated class by encouraging independence while they play in a social environment. Transitioning between classrooms and activities will allow little ones to gain confidence and familiarity with a structured routine, allowing children to seamlessly graduate to the KVA Jr. program. (90 minutes, 2 days per week)
18 months – 30 months *
Our KVA Jr. program is a nurturing and enriching experience for young children. The KVA Jr. curriculum is individualized to meet the needs of each child, builds on their interests, and focuses on essential developmental skills. Each day will engage toddlers, build confidence, promote socialization, and prepare them for not only KVA Grad, but a lifetime of learning.
The KVA Jr. day includes a variety of play-based centres, as well as whole group activities, such as art, music & movement, gym, math and numeracy, language and pre literacy, as well as time for snacks. Our well trained and encouraging teachers will prepare and transition your child by promoting independence throughout the daily routine. But of course, every day will be an adventure - full of exploration, activity, and learning. (Teacher/Child Ratio 1:5)
30 months – 4 years*
The KVA Grad curriculum is designed to stimulate your child's natural curiosity. Children will learn through exploration as they participate in various play-based centres that focus on language development, scientific discovery, & mathematical concepts - all while enhancing their creativity and imagination!
This program enables your child to be independent. KVA Grads begin to learn classroom rules as they develop an understanding of what it means to respect others and take responsibility for themselves and their environment. (Teacher/Child Ratio 1:8)
44 months – 8 years *
The KVA After School program will complement a regular school day, by providing more opportunities for your child to learn, grow, and discover new skills. It's a chance for children to realize their potential and explore possibilities.
Registered early childhood educators have created this play-based program that connects to learning that happens during a regular school day. Your child can look forward to a mix of exploration, guided and independent activities, quiet time, and gym play.
* These KVA programs will operate in accordance with the regulations set out in the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014.
Enrolling our daughter in the KVA program is one of the best decisions we've made as parents. The individual attention and care the teachers provide each child far surpasses what any other preschool program can provide, and our daughter absolutely loves it. Kidville will always have a special place in our hearts!
I was so thrilled to find Kidville Academy. Not only do they have the best facility in the city, their programming is unlike any other. My son is engaged, gaining confidence in every area, and — most importantly — so happy at KVA! Kidville Academy has created a classroom community based on respect, care and trust. And the lines of communication are always open — as a parent, I don't miss a thing.

What a day! Lately I have been reading on Facebook all of these posts of friends who have children that are sick and in the hospital. I knew it would get to Emma sooner or later. No matter how often I got her to wash her hands or keep her hands out of her mouth and stop wiggling her loose tooth...I knew it would get us...and it did. She woke up today feeling fine and everything seemed ok. I did notice that she had an off look about her though...something was different. I kept asking her if she felt ok or if something was wrong and she kept telling me that she felt fine...everything was ok! So, we went about our day and decided to go to the public swim at the high school near here. Well, we got there and got into our suits and hopped in the pool. After about an hour Emma got this panicked look on her face and told me she felt like she was going to puke. I thought...oh no...here we go! I had visions of her throwing up in the pool and everyone freaking out and the lifeguards getting angry at me for bringing a sick kid there in the first place (even though I knew she wasn't sick before we even left the house!). I quickly scooped her up and rushed to the locker room the whole while talking to her and trying to make sure she would at least make it to the washroom before letting loose. Thankfully we made it. She never actually threw up there at all...we got dried off and dressed and left....she saved the puking for at home. Well, to make a long story short...she is currently asleep camped out on the living room floor behind me and she seems ok. No fever, no ketones, ok blood sugar...I am good with that. I wanted to talk about something that happened earlier in the evening though. In between throwing up, I had actually convinced her to get in the bath and wash off the chlorine smell and general puki-ness odour. While she was sitting there, she burst into tears begging me not to take her to the hospital. She was completely terrified that if she had to go there, she would have to stay there for Christmas and then Santa wouldn't be able to find her. It was all I could do not to burst into tears right along with her. Instead, another piece of my heart broke off....score one for the bastard that is diabetes. I told her that all she needed to do was focus on this particular moment in time...this exact minute. I told her that we weren't at the hospital right now...we might not have to go there even...so there was no sense worrying about something that hadn't come to be yet. I told her that if we did in fact wind up having to go there...Santa would most definitely find her. I told her that Santa stops at the hospital FIRST to drop off presents for the kids there before he goes anywhere else. That settled things in her mind thankfully. That is one thing we should never have to experience as parents though...we should never have to see our children sick and overwhelmed with fear that Santa won't know where they are. It's just wrong...it's not fair.
Another thing that drives me insane about illnesses with diabetes is how hard it is to juggle everything. Sickness usually brings on ketones which are dangerous...the only way to get rid of ketones is extra insulin and lots of water...well if you have a diabetic kid who is sick throwing up anything you try to give them including water, then they have low blood sugar dangers anyway! So there I was juggling ketones, extra insulin, low blood sugars, sips of juice every 2 minutes....it's maddening...i might as well have been banging my head against the wall. It's a vicious circle....it's exhausting! Non-diabetic kids who are ill throwing up can just throw up and go lay down on the couch and sleep....I wish things were that easy. Instead I had to sit there giving her sips of juice to bring her blood sugar back up...hoping and praying that it would stay down in her belly and not make a reappearance in the bucket. All the while wondering if the ketones were powering up and gaining on me again.
So, here I sit...in for a long night once again. You may have won this round, diabetes....but just wait until tomorrow...it's my turn then. At least this didn't happen on Christmas day I suppose....

The stomach bugs are my biggest fear (as it is with most D parents)ReplyDelete
Hope Emma feels better soon and you have a smooth night. If you are dealing with lows and her unable to keep anything down, you can do mini-dose glucagon....I believe Reyna at Beta Buddies has a protocol posted. Best of luck!!
and Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
Bless your heart Amy! I hate stomach bugs! We just had ours as you know....hope she is better today! Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
I am so sorry you're dealing with this... and at Christmas. UGH. Hope she feels better soon, and doesn't share it with the rest of the family!ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas!
Awww, hugs, Amy. I know all too well the stresses of this disease. All i want for xmas is a CURE. Hope Emma's feeling better SOON, bless her heart.ReplyDelete

We tried three or four online guides and at various points along the way, hit an obscure error message that didn't really mean an awful lot - so debugging and troubleshooting was difficult. Whenever we hit a problem, the best we could hope to do was reboot the Pi and start again, using someone else's guide!
But eventually, after following the Adafruit guide (almost) to the letter, but ignoring the "use rtl871xdrv" setting in hostapd.conf, we managed to create a wifi access point that various devices (Windows laptop, Android phone, Linux desktop etc) would connect to
At first things looked quite promising - the Pi showed up as a wifi access point, using the SSID we set, and would accept (and reject) connections based on the WPA/passphrase. Once we got to the "connect and test" stage, things didn't quite pan out.
On our Windows 10 machine, after "connecting" the IP address was way out of the range we'd set on the Pi. Trying to ping the Pi on it's fixed IP address resulted in a "General Failure" error message. The Android phone started the connection process, which appeared in the log on the Raspberry Pi, but was never given an IP address. After a short delay, the phone would give up and prompt us to forget the connection.
Although the Adafruit website suggested that the problem was probably with the dhcp server configuration, it took some hunting around until we found this guide at http://www.pi-point.co.uk/documentation/
The final step is to configure dnsmasq so you can obtain an IP address from your new Pi-Point. Edit your /etc/dnsmasq.conf file to look like this:
# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
# Only listen for DHCP on wlan0
# create a domain if you want, comment it out otherwise
# Create a dhcp range on your /24 wlan0 network with 12 hour lease time
# Send an empty WPAD option. This may be REQUIRED to get windows 7 to behave.
# Only listen for DHCP on wlan0
# create a domain if you want, comment it out otherwise
# Create a dhcp range on your /24 wlan0 network with 12 hour lease time
# Send an empty WPAD option. This may be REQUIRED to get windows 7 to behave.
Remember to change the dhcp-range option for the network IP range you're using. If you're having problems with Windows7 machines then try uncommenting the last line. Restart dnsmasq by typing service dnsmasq restart for the configuration to take effect. Now you should be able to connect to your new Pi-Point and get a proper IP address from it.
Although we're not running the pi-point software, we had a working wifi access point, so we just picked things up from there. We changed the ip range to match the one we used while following the Adafruit guide and - amazingly - the access point started working!
The connection process takes just seconds, each device is correctly given it's own IP address from the DHCP server running on the Raspberry Pi. Since we set up the Pi with a static IP address of 192.168.42.1, even the ping request from our Windows laptop worked!
So now we've got our AP working on a Pi, we're going to have to learn how to respond to incoming connection requests from apps running on our devices, and how to process them to make meaningful stuff happen. It's only a small step so far, but quite a significant one!

Login Help
If you are new to the University use Activate my account and enter the requested information to obtain your CSU account details. Your account details are comprised of a username and password and are used to uniquely identify you within the University.
If you have forgotten your password use Forgot your password? to set a new one. You should be able to login 15 minutes after changing it but sometimes it can take up to 60 minutes to update your new password across all of our systems.
Student username
A student username consists of the first (or first two letters) of your first name, first few letters of your last name and two numbers to create up to a maximum of 8 characters eg jsmith22 or josmit10.
Staff username
A staff username consists of the first (or first two/three letters) of your first name and first few letters of your last name up to a maximum of 8 characters. Students who become staff retain the same username (unless they are unpaid PhD students).
You cannot login with your CSU email address.
Trouble logging in
Usernames and passwords are case sensitive, this means an upper and lower case letter are not recognised as the same character eg a and A are two different characters. If, for example, your username is jsmith you must enter it as jsmith, Jsmith or JSmith will not work. If your password is Icy8Cola but you type ICY8COLA, icy8Cola or any other variation you will be unable to login. Similarly typing an o (lower case o) instead of a 0 (zero) or vice versa will also fail.
Check the following:
- Caps lock - is caps lock turned on?
- Number lock - if you use the number pad to enter your password, check that num-lock is on or use the numbers above the letter keys
- Typos - did you type your username and password correctly?
- Keyboard - check the necessary keys on the keyboard are working
- Password change - if it has been under 60 minutes since you changed your password and your new one is not working yet you can try your old password as sometimes it may work. If neither the old or the new password work you will have to wait for the update to complete - your ability to login should be restored 60 minutes after you changed your password
- Browser set to remember passwords - if your details are already filled in you need to delete your username and password and type them again
Other issues which can cause your login to fail
- If you keep getting prompted to login or get a blank screen, try clearing your cache, then close and reopen your browser. Enter your username and password again to login. To clear your cache see how to clear your internet browser cache (there are a number of different browsers and versions listed on this page, instructions are also provided for iOS and Android devices)
Avast Anti-Virus
A bug in the Avast Toolbar for Internet Explorer causes login to fail with a 'Unable to decode base64 in POST binding message' error message.
To resolve this problem, try using a different browser:
- Google Chrome - http://www.google.com/chrome
- Mozilla Firefox - http://getfirefox.com
Or disable the Avast Toolbar for IE:
- Select the Tools (or Gear icon) menu:
- Select the avast! Online Security extension from the list:
- Select Disable:
Change Password
- Why do I need to change my password regularly?
The main reason for regular password changes is to limit an account's exposure to misuse.
- How often must I change my password?
We recommend you change your password every trimester.
You must change your password every 60 days.
The Password toolbox (on the left hand side under the search box) displays the number of days remaining until your next required password change.
Once you have changed your password it can take up to 60 minutes to update across all systems and services.
It is best to change your password when you have finished working and do not require access to anything for the next hour to avoid any inconvenience.
If you have changed your password within the last hour you may still be able to access some services with either your old password or your new password. The ability to access services in this time can vary which is why it's best to change it after you have finished working (just before you leave for the day or just before you go to Lunch).
- Once I have changed my password, when will the new password become active?
The new password will not be available for all services for up to one hour.
- How can I change my password?
Use the activity bar – Password option and click on "change your password now":
For tips on changing your password go to Student Account Security
Remember your password should not be easy for others to guess.
Login to staff.csu, locate the "Top staff links" and use the "CSU login/Password" link (see screenshot below):
or go straight to the Changing My Password page.
Remember your password should not be easy for others to guess.

Three weeks to launch: become a franchise owner this month
Lower risk, the support of an existing brand, and no need for a business idea. But as important, franchising is also a very quick way to launch
Thousands of entrepreneurs choose franchising as their route from aspiring to actual business owner every year.
A franchise guarantees a tried and tested business model, the support of a national (and sometimes international) corporation, and the brand recognition of a big fish.
But there's one benefit franchising boasts that's often overlooked – speed to launch.
Whether you're launching your business whilst in employment, wanting to maintain a healthy work/life balance, or simply itching to get started, the time it takes to launch a business from scratch can be a barrier. With its 'business in a box' format, franchising can see your pre-launch timeline shrink.
Explore your franchise options
Time required? One to three weeks
Finding the franchise that's right for you will undoubtedly be the most important step in your process, and probably the most time intensive. But that doesn't mean you can't be strategic about it.
As a potential franchise owner, there's one major time saver open to you that's not available to other entrepreneurs – other franchise owners. When you zero in on the franchise option that appeals most, talk to other owners and get the inside track on the company.
Dependent on which franchise option you go for, this stage will have a big impact on your timeline – choosing franchises that require premises, specialist equipment and hiring staff will take longer to launch than a mobile business, for example.
Develop your franchise business plan
Time required? One to two weeks
The business plan is a crucial step in launching any business, franchise or otherwise. But by choosing a franchise, a substantial portion of the leg work involved may be covered for you. Much of the detail about the running of the business will come from the franchisor, and with potentially hundreds of near identical businesses across the country, market research should be a breeze. This step can also be streamlined by visiting a business advice service, such as Nwes.
Find funding to start a franchise
Time required? Less than a week
If you've done your research properly, a well-chosen franchise can be a much safer investment for lenders than a freeform business pitch. Not only that, but there are many funding options out there actively seeking to support franchises. The government-backed StartUp Loans scheme, delivered by Nwes, is one such example, offering fixed interest, easy to apply for finance to new businesses. With support of a programme like this, you can be financed within the week.
Complete your business skill-set
Time required? Less than a week
Even if your franchise package has laid out the financials for you, pre-prepared the marketing materials, or offered an HR cheat sheet, your business will be stronger if you take ownership of these skills. Joining a business support programme like Start & Grow, delivered by Nwes, can be done in a matter of minutes, and you'll be well on your way to plugging any gaps in your knowledge.
The obligatory start-up paperwork…
Time required? A few days
There's no getting around it. Paperwork features heavily for any start-up. But with a supportive franchise provider, the process can be streamlined. Support is also available from enterprise agencies such as Nwes, which can provide one-to-one business advice to help new starts fly through this stage.
Prepare to launch a franchise
Time required? A few days to a week
Allow some time for the unforeseen. Even in a pre-prepared business, there'll be eventualities you need to work around. Giving yourself a buffer will mean launch day goes as smoothly as possible.
Letitia Cavanagh is Nwes area manager for Suffolk. To find out more about the StartUp Loans programme, Start & Grow or business support opportunities available in the East of England, head to the Nwes website today.

My husband and I visited the Craters of the Moon Idaho National Park this year in June. While traveling from Tween Falls, Idaho, we follow the highway 20. Suddenly we noticed that the nice green fields and hills along the Snake river changed without notice into a sea of dark/black ground and rocks!
I have never seen something like this before and intrigued, I looked at my husband. He smiled. He knew about the existence of this place but admitted that has never seen it before. So the surprise was some how for both of us 🙂 As we were not in a hurry we decided to visit it and I'm glad we did.
Craters Of The Moon Idaho National Park
There is a mix of old and new petrified lava here. At the Visitor Center which is not far from the sign, we learned the oldest known eruption was 15,000 years ago and it's the part that's covered with vegetation. The most recent eruption occurred 2,000 years ago – that area is the darkest one. Geologists say that future events may likely happen here.
The Visitor Center
The Visitor Center at the Craters of the Moon Idaho National Park is situated 18 miles Southwest of Arco and 20 miles North from Twin Falls, on US 20/26/93.
At the Visitor Center you can have a lot of information and details related to this area, including movies, exhibitions and a bookstore, and it's open year-round.
Logging and Facilities at Craters Of The Moon Idaho National Park
For who wants to camp here, there are campground facilities with water, restrooms and picnic areas (no hookups), with no reservations. Several other camping areas are available in the park, but they have water-less restrooms. Here you can find more info about the Fees, Passes, Hours of Operation and more.
Tip: As a senior US citizen, my husband has a pass for all the national Parks in US, so we didn't have to pay any entrance fee.
Crater of the Moon Pictures
There is not too much vegetation there (I'm wondering why…), other than some sagebrush, moss and a few colorful flowers, but the sightseeing is beautiful
We explored the zone for a couple of hours, but the whole area is a 750,000 acres of lava formed landscape. You may need more than one day to visit it all. Warning: There are many miles of underdeveloped rugged dirt and roads; If you have a a high 4-wheel-drive vehicle you are good.
The lava formations are quite impressive:
We went up to one of the craters. The deep hole into the volcano looks scary, but you don't have to worry! The fence that surrounds it makes it safe, so no danger to approach the edge.

But the one i really, really want is this one choko, please park it in my garage; i would appreciated very, very much wink!
Only One Me
There's more than one bird;
There's more than one bee,
But there's only one suns.
One moon,
And one ME.
There's more than one valley;
There's more than one tree,
But there's only one sun,
One moon,

There's more than one mountain;
There's more than one sea,
But there's only one sun,
One moon,

I keep three wishes ready
Lest I should chance to meet
Any day a fairy
Coming down the street.
I'd hate to have to stammer,
Or have to think them out,
For it's very hard to think things up
When a fairy is about.
And I'd hate to lose my wishes,
For fairies fly away,
And perhaps I'd never have a chance
On any other day.
So I keep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet
Any day a fairy
Coming down the street

Roosters. You just never know what you're going to get. They can be sweet, they can be sassy, and they can be downright mean. A mean rooster can cause a lot of issues on the homestead. They attack and cause harm to anyone who gets in their way. Now, this can be a great quality for flock protection from predators, but when it comes to you, or your children, it's another story.
Even roosters that have been lovingly cuddled from a young age can end up as mean roosters. Their true personalities start to shine through after they've reached sexual maturity.
Full Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.
You might be asking yourself, "Why did my formerly cute and cuddly rooster suddenly turn so evil?"
It turns out, there are a lot of reasons this may happen. Our friend Jess over at 104 Homestead has all the answers in her article about mean roosters.
Here's an excerpt from the article:
"I love my rooster, I really do. I hatched him out last winter. He's a beautiful marans who was named Dottie Speckles until these odd tail feathers started appearing. He was then renamed Agador Spartacus, due to his feminine nature. For those who don't know who Agador Spartacus is, I highly recommend the movie The Birdcage. Anyways, I had two roosters this spring to choose from and Agador won out for his kind and gentle disposition. That is until this past week…"

Launched in 2015, The Phoenix Pact is a scholarship program designed to ensure that NLCP graduates can attend colleges where they are most likely to be successful, without cost standing in the way.
Named after NLCP's mascot, the mythical Phoenix that is re-born from its own ashes, the Phoenix Pact program is a 3-way pact between the student, the college, and the Phoenix Pact Fund.
Students commit to graduate with a B average or better and attend a college with a track record of successfully graduating minority students.
Colleges commit to keeping total loan costs manageable and to ensuring that 50% or more of their minority students earn a degree.
The Phoenix Pact Fund commits to cover any financial gap remaining between the cost of attendance and available financial aid.

That would have presented a dilemma this year for Alabama. Would it bring quarterback Greg McElroy and linebacker Dont'a Hightower? How could it leave Heisman Trophy-winning running back Mark Ingram at home?
Or would it bring Ingram and Hightower? How could it leave a leader like McElroy home?
But Alabama doesn't have to sweat that decision. It will bring all three players to Birmingham on July 21.
Every school will bring three players. The decision was made quietly at the SEC meetings in Destin, Fla.

I am all about self-growth and building priceless experiences. My ultimate goal is to inspire others just as others did to me.
Other than design, I love traveling (check out where I've been!), fitness, modeling, any activity under the sun, and of course, coffee.

In addition to tennis skills, kids build teamwork, confidence and hand-eye coordination skills, learn healthy nutrition habits and develop a life-long love of physical fitness."

The program provides paid summer jobs to over 50 youth instructors, many of which are program graduates. "Coaching tennis with ICT has been a highlight of my past four summers," said coach Rose Abdo (Lynnhurst Park). "I enjoy playing tennis everyday with kids who are discovering it for the first time."

Music lovers will be treated to an up-close and personal experience as East Central University and Oklahoma Heritage Bank present "The Legendary Violins of Stradivarius and Guarnerius" on Friday, Dec. 1, at 5:30 p.m. in the Ataloa Theatre of the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center.
The event will feature two priceless and museum-quality violins from Cremona, Italy – the Lenora Jackson Stradivarius (1714) and the 'Sloan' Guarnerius del Gesu (1742). Dr. William Sloan and Professor Judy Sloan, of Los Angeles, will present a multifaceted program, demonstrating the history, artistry, sound quality and enduring superiority of these priceless instruments from Cremona.
"This event will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear and to be moved by the beauty of the sound of the music from these legendary violins," said Dr. Darryl Fisher, chairman of the Board for Oklahoma Heritage Bank.
In addition, Dr. Sloan will demonstrate his precise replica of their Lenora Jackson Stradivari that he personally crafted, based upon his exact measurements of the dimensions and structure of their Lenora Jackson Stradivarius, as his year-long project of the Oberlin University Violin Makers Workshop.
Accompanying Dr. and Professor Sloan will be Ada musicians Susanne Woolley (violin) and John Emery (cello).
"We are pleased that Oklahoma Heritage Bank and Dr. Fisher are partnering with us in sponsoring this unique event," said ECU President Katricia Pierson. "It should be an exciting night for those who are music lovers and historians."
More than 300 years ago in Cremona, Italy, this small village gave birth to the world's masterpiece violins – the Stradivari and Guarneri. Today, Cremona is off the tourist paths and differs from all other small and picturesque Italian towns in Northern Italy because it truly remains the violin capital of the world with 140 violin makers playing their craft today.
However, none are considered to have the skill of the masters, Stradivarius and Guarnerius. This Cremonese method of violin making, dating to the 17th century, has left a legacy of one-of-a-kind instruments for the ages.
Immediately following the program, a reception to meet the Sloans and to view these incomparable instruments up-close will be held in the Pogue Art Gallery in the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center. Light refreshments will be served.
Complimentary tickets to the performance and reception will be provided the Oklahoma Heritage Bank and can be obtained at any Oklahoma Heritage Bank location in Ada, Roff, Byng and Stratford or by contacting Tiffany Gamble at 580-447-8172 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Tickets may also be obtained through ECU President Katricia Pierson's office by contacting Peggy Saunkeah at 580-559-5213 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The complimentary tickets will be necessary for admission to the performance and reception and must be obtained through OHB or ECU prior to Dec. 1.

2009 NEC Preseason Poll Release
The 2009 Northeast Conference Preseason Coaches was released on Tuesday afternoon with Sacred Heart tabbed to finish fourth in the nine team league while six Pioneers were named to the Preseason All-NEC team. The two-time defending NEC Champion Albany Great Danes were picked to defend their title receiving eight first place votes. This is the fourth-straight season the Great Danes have occupied the top spot heading into the season. The Monmouth Hawks were picked second with one vote while Central Connecticut State was slotted to finish third ahead of the Pioneers.
Filling out the rest of this year's poll was Robert Morris in fifth, Duquesne in sixth, new conference member Bryant in seventh, Wagner in eighth and Saint Francis (PA) in ninth. "We are looking to just continue to get better here in camp and as the season moves forward," commented head coach Paul Gorham on this morning's conference call.
"We have all our focus on that Marist game to open up and getting off to another strong starts and take it from there."
Sacred Heart was the most improved team in the NEC a year ago, coming off an 8-3 record and 4-3 league mark after going winless in conference play in 2007. SHU bolted out of the gates last fall winning six-straight and seven of their first eight games. The Pioneer offense returns nine starters heading into the season with four players earning a spot on this year's All-NEC preseason team. Leading the way is the two-time all-conference tandem of r-junior quarterback Dale Fink (Swansea, IL) and senior wide receiver Steve Tedesco (Mission Viejo, CA). Fink begins his third season as the Pioneer's signal caller after leading the SHU offensive attack to 29.1 ppg in 2008 and 26.6 ppg in 2007 at the helm. He was the NEC's most efficient passer (140.3 rating) last season, completing 67.8% (215-317) of his passes for 2,102 yards and 24 touchdowns. He will once again have his favorite target back in Tedesco who is coming off a record setting campaign in 2008. Tedesco set the conference and school single-season record for receptions with 77 catches last fall while also grabbing 10 scoring strikes.
Up front, the Pioneer offensive line kept Fink upright for the first seven games of the season last year, not yielding a quarterback sack. Four of the five offensive linemen who provided premium protection are back, including second team all-league center Justin Smith (Binghamton, NY). The SHU running attack and return game will also benefit from the return of Preseason All-NEC back Garry Coles (Southington, CT). Coles earns a spot as a kick returner after being named all-conference at the position as a freshman. He is slated to return to the SHU backfield while also returning kick-offs and punts. His 25.0 return average last season led the NEC.
On the defensive side, the Pioneers welcome back seniors and preseason all-NEC selections, defensive end Bill O'Brien (Lafayette, NY) and corner back Andre Isla (Brookhaven, NY). O'Brien made 61 tackles, 8.0 for a loss, from his lineman spot while Isla made 50 tackles and four interceptions at corner while also picking up a spot on the All-New England team.

For St. Joan of Arc Knights of Columbus December newsletter:
Advent is the season of hope with anticipation and waiting without anxiety. We are invited by the Church to look forward to the final coming of Christ Jesus at the end of time. At the same time we prepare to celebrate His first coming in the Incarnation. We look forward by looking back, beginning with the words of Jesus: "…for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come."
How should we prepare, what are we to do? We are invited by Isaiah: "Come, let us climb the LORD's mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths."
Consider the words of the old hymn: "Rise up, O men of God! Be done with lesser things. Give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of kings."
Let us not be distracted by the red and green that surrounds the season, but focus on the violet color of anticipation and the rose of sublime joy.

Authority of a Document
What is the significance and authority of the Directory for the Ministry and Life of the Permanent Deacons? The introduction includes this statement:
The Directory for the Ministry and Life of Permanent Deacons, as in the case of the Directory on the Ministry and Life of Priests, has, together with its hortative character, juridically binding force where its norms "recall disciplinary norms of the Code of Canon Law" or "determine with regard to the manner of applying universal laws of the Church, explicitate their doctrinal basis and inculcate or solicit their faithful observance".(1) In these specific cases, it is to be regarded as a formal, general, executory Decree (cf. canon 32).No doubt the Society of St. Piux X is unimpressed with this assertion.

Audi Returns To The Super Bowl 2017
Both Kia and Honda has said that they are going to be a part of the Super Bowl 2017 and now we have heard that Audi is making a return to it too.
Audi was in the Super Bowl advertising madness last year and they showed off the R8 V8 Plus along with making reference to the Lunar Quattro. Audi has come right out and said that they are taking part again this year, but they haven't revealed any of their plans for the ads or how long the ad is going to last.
They did say that the ad came from Venables Bell & Partners but this is the only information they offered. Toyota and Mini are among the carmakers that are not showing ads during the Super Bowl this year.
Of course there are going to be many other carmakers who will head to the Super Bowl to show off their latest cars, and Audi is going to be just one among them.

Sheer Mag Need to Feel Your Love(Static Shock) Buy it from Insound
Coming off a trio of EPs that gave a much-needed vibrancy to the format, Sheer Mag are now out to conquer the album format on their debut effort, Need to Feel Your Love. It's a new challenge for the Philadelphia outfit to shoot up their profile considering they're earned their current reputation as rock revivalists without any marketing savvy. So they did it the old-fashioned way - to perform as many garage basements as possible, and hope that each and every beer-sipping attendee would make the effort to seek them out once the beer keg ran dry.
Out of every conceivable theme, it never occurred to me that they'd shift their focus on the universal concept of love. Not that it would be the first time they'd tackle the subject - it was implicitly found with much transparency on tracks like Worth the Tears and Hard Lovin', but to openly acknowledge it without the slightest trace of wit seems like an uninspired choice for a band that writes songs with detailed precision. Fortunately, they do their hometown justice on the Philly-soul inspired track, where tough front woman Tina Halladay openly expresses the tenderness of young love as Kyle Seely's sumptuously staggered guitar lines mark every note she hits.
The title track's graceful bounce is just one of the musical stylings found on Need to Feel Your Love, which takes on many facets of classic rock without ever undermining its expansive source material. Sheer Mag do have a strong reverence to the guitar, and as it is with younger musicians who take on rock history with a complete disregard to stringent chronology, they arrange these tracks with an instinctual, gut-level clamor. As it progresses, it takes many different forms: the twin-guitar maelstrom of Thin Lizzy (Just Can't Get Enough), the swampy, Southern-tinged blues of Allman Brothers (Suffer Me), and even the compact, yet ornate velocity of Judas Priest (Turn It Up).
Aside from taking on different elements, the stark immediacy of power pop is what stimulates their every moment. And they do find surprising ways to enliven the format, even if their version of it tends to err on hard rock affectations rather than drawing their attention on more gleaming melodies. One of their most accomplished tracks here, Expect the Bayonet, replicates the flanged guitars of Big Star but with a faster tempo, always opting to give fuel to the swagger and with air-tight efficiency. The brisk pace of Can't Play it Cool is another scorcher that fits the Chilton/Bell template, though cleverly turned inside out by performing major scales pulled out of the Randy Rhoads playbook.
Sheer Mag's heady mixture of influences shouldn't work. And yet, their tireless curiosity and genuine affection for rock song forms is what separates Need to Feel Your Love from sounding like a conventional tribute. Under lesser hands, their clever way of piecing together a wild amalgamation of former perspectives would quickly sink and drown. But Sheer Mag tackle the album full-length with a simple message, and chock-full of power chords, one that also traces back to the straightforward intentions of early rock n' roll but with soulful brio. It raises the stakes for a band who, up to this point, had commended the eminent value of brevity.16 July, 2017 - 15:26 — Juan Edgardo Rodriguez
