Meet the Crew
October 2019 marked the beginning of the new Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) crew year. The Snohomish Conservation District has been partnering with the WCC since 2013 to contract a 6 person crew to implement riparian restoration projects and construct rain gardens throughout Snohomish County.
The WCC is a state-wide job training program for young adults aging from 18-25, and military veterans of all ages, that provides hands on experience in the environmental field. These corps members are AmeriCorps volunteers that receive an education award upon finishing their year of service. They can either use this award to attend an accredited post-high school institution, or pay on their school loans if they have already completed a program.
These 6 corps members will be out in the wet, cold, and windy weather all winter planting several of the Snohomish Conservation Districts stream restoration projects. By the end of next September, they will have contributed to over 20 acres of riparian planting and invasive maintenance, as well as constructed 15-20 rain gardens throughout Snohomish County. The WCC is a great program for young adults interested in the environmental field, and the Snohomish Conservation District is proud to be partnering with them to accomplish its urban and habitat projects.

Spiderman's Original Story – Spiderman's Marvel Origins
Spiderman's original story is one of most heavily contested and bitter disputes in the comic book world. But you have to start at the beginning, Spiderman is a fictional superhero from Marvel Comics who has been around for over fifty years, and it's hard to imagine that his creators could have had any idea that when they gave Peter Parker his origins as a costumed wise cracking, web slinging vigilante that he would grow to be arguably their most popular hero, and would endure all this time, spawning not only a multitude of spin off comic book titles but multiple television cartoon series and more than few live action movie block busters, becoming in an effect a multi million dollar franchise. He really is one of the pin ups of the Marvel universe with amazing powers and abilities which is why he is a member of the legendary Avengers along with Ironman, Thor and Captain America.
Quick Links To Info On This Page
When Was Spiderman Created
When was Spiderman created? Such a simple question yet it opens up a big can of worms. Because it seems Spiderman's origins are a bitterly contested point among some of comic's most iconic names, with no less than four industry legends claiming to be the creative force behind the infamous web crawler. In his autobiography Stan Lee posits that it was he who started it all when in 1962 he wanted a new title, and being influenced both by a non superhuman character called the Spider who he'd seen in a cheap pulp magazine and with a spider climbing a wall, and with these two ideas Spiderman was born. So Stan Lee called artist and writer Steve Ditko and commissioned him to do the issue, Amazing Fantasy #15 (cover dated August 1962) while Steve would be responsible for all the internal art, Stan Lee rejected his cover artwork preferring instead to have Jack Kirby do it as Lee was a big fan of his style.
In an interview published in 1965 Steve Ditko talked about his and Stan Lee's role in the creation of Spiderman, with Ditko saying that Stan Lee thought the name up, and that he Ditko had been responsible for the background story, costume design and all the gimmicks associated with the masked web crawler.
And just to muddy the waters even further Jack Kirby claims that he and Joe Simons worked on a character together called the Silver Spider which they had developed for Black Magic publications, which he had shown to Stan Lee earlier and had drawn sample pages and that Lee had disliked them claiming they bore too much of a similarity to Archie Comic's, The fly. Joe Simons further disputes Kirby's version of events claiming that it was he who had thought of the name Spiderman which was overruled in favour of the Silver Spider.
It is a much disputed topic with interesting bits of trivia, like the fact that both Stan Lee's version and Jack Kirby's and Joe Simons' collaborated version of Spiderman both were to have a magic ring of the source of his power, but this was changed as the character The Fly also has a magic ring as the source of his power. But whatever the truth, both Stan Lee and Jack Kirby both credit Steve Ditko as reason for Spiderman's success with his ideas and costume design appealing to readers. So with Spiderman's first appearance in what would be Amazing Fantasy's final issue, the sales figures were reviewed and found to be one the highest selling comics to date for what would become Marvel Comics, and so Spiderman got his own self titled publication called The Amazing Spiderman of which #1 was cover dated March 1963. The rest as they say is history.
How Did Peter Parker Get His Powers
How did Peter Parker get his powers? Peter was an only child whose parents were killed in an overseas plane crash when he was just a baby. He was raised by his elderly aunt May and uncle Ben, a shy young boy it became obvious at an early age that he had an affinity for science bordering on genius. While on a school excursion to a public science exhibition Peter was bitten by a radioactive spider, which cause him to mutate giving him incredible powers, including the ability to climb walls, massively enhanced strength(proportionate to an arachnid's) and a precognitive sense to warn him of imminent danger.
At first Peter had just wanted to use his new found powers to help only himself and those he cared about, shunning the world at large, and in his first public appearance he fought a wresting match with Crusher Hogan for a cash prize. He then used this money to construct wrist mounted wrist shooters that would project an artificial webbing that he had devised himself. His reluctance to use his abilities to help other was a decision that he would terribly regret and one that would cost him the life of a cherished family member. After witnessing a burglary at the television station where he was working, he could have stopped the burglar but he chose not to become involved, meanwhile at home aunt May and uncle Ben had been arguing and uncle Ben went on a long walk and when Ben returned home he found that were being burgled and when he confronted the intruder he was shot. When Peter came home he found uncle Ben dead, donning his costume he vowed to track the killer down and exact vengeance. But to his horror when he confronted the killer he found that it was the same one that he had allowed to escape earlier. Overcome with grief and guilt Peter vowed to be more selfless remembering words that his uncle had told often, "with great power, comes great responsibility". And so with that tragedy, Spiderman the superhero was truly born.
Spiderman On TV And In The Movies
Just how much has Spiderman been on tv and in the movies? Well Spiderman has been such a cultural icon since he first appeared in 1962 that he spawned a multitude of cartoons on television and even a live action television series and not to mention many blockbuster movies. His first show was an animated series on ABC running from 1967-1970 titled Spiderman. Then from 1978-1979 CBS produced a live action series titled The Amazing Spiderman starring Nicholas Hammond, of which the pilot movie for the series was released abroad on VHS cassette in 1980.The list of other animated series that he has appeared in is extensive including Spiderman, 1981-1982 which was syndicated, Spiderman and His Amazing Friends 1981-1983. Spiderman produced by Fox Kids from 1994-1998, Spiderman 1999-2000, Spiderman: The New Animated Series 2003 and Spectacular Spiderman 2008-2009, and finally Ultimate Spiderman 2012 – 2017 made for Disney XD. There was even a tokusatsu (which means special live action) series featuring Spider-Man in Japan.
So in what was arguably the start of the current trend of huge successful comic book to movie adaptations Toby Maguire starred in three Spiderman films starting in 2002 and again in 2004 and 2007. These films were very successful and well received by fans. So much so that in 2012 and 2014 Andrew Garfield starred in two more highly successful Amazing Spiderman films. These films were all Sony films and so were not inclusive in a larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, but recently Sony brokered a deal with Disney who owned a large portion to the rights of Marvel universe characters(excluding most X-men and their villains who belong to Fox), so finally Tom Holland as Spiderman appeared alongside the Avengers in Captain America: Civil War in 2016. Spiderman is scheduled to have his own film Spiderman: Homecoming again starring Tom Holland.

Here's the final episode Carolyn and I directed and produced before shipping off to BU Los Angeles, written by ourselves and our writing staff.
Trapped! But "We'll Be Fine" by Rebecca Ferguson
It's been quite some time since I've released a self-made video. I can safely say that "The Pulse of the City" video for Hothouse is to blame, as well as my entire first semester of senior year at BU.
I recently came across X-Factor UK runner-up Rebecca Ferguson, a woman who's soulful voice is immense and entrancing. A song from her second hit studio album ("Freedom") entitled "We'll Be Fine" struck me – it's an intense song, one that echoes about in your head, constantly reminding you that you'll always be fine, no matter the situation.
With a low battery on my camera, a laziness to charge it, and a desire to create something fun for myself, I threw myself into the fresh Connecticut snow and created this vision of my character being trapped by an invisible force field. He eventually calms down and escapes – an easy depiction of being fine, but an interesting one. I took some of the same visuals from my flick for "Wide Awake" by Katy Perry, which I think has the same successful effect.
Let me know: ya feelin' fine?
The Pulse of the City: Kenmore Square
For the past four months of this semester, I've been enrolled in a class entitled Hothouse Productions, which is a student-run client-driven production company based at BU.
The goal of the semester? Make the best video for your client. Or else.
Goal met. Goal met big time.
My group and I – Kellan Reck, Katie Wolosoff, and Brian Gallagher AKA Team Kenmore – took on Hotel Commonwealth, a popular Boston hotel in Kenmore Square, as our client. We met with the hotel management, who charged us with the task of creating a promotional video not for them, but for Kenmore Square.
What's the purpose of that? The hotel wanted to promote the special area Kenmore has become for the city. Kenmore used to be quite the dodgy neighborhood, but now, thanks to the hotel and thriving businesses in the square, Kenmore has quite literally become the heart of Boston. It's pulse.
Kenmore Square is the where you see the pulse of the city.
Our resulting work below represents some of the most satisfying work my Brian, Katie, Kellan, and I have ever done. From shooting on the roof of the hotel in the wee hours of the morning to staying up way past our bedtime for lil meetings that became quite the bonding moments for us, we've created not just a promotional video for Hotel Commonwealth to share on their website, but a tribute to Kenmore. A tribute to Boston.
Why would you need to go anywhere else?
BIG BIG BIG special thanks to our professor, Barry Nolan, and his wife, Garland Waller, for all of their help in making this a success.

CO-ED: Episode 3, "Everything's Crabby"
Our third episode (aka the 3nd act of the original pilot episode) of Co-Ed ties up what we started in the pilot, and gives us one final look at this cast before we transition into our newest cast. How does that transition occur? You'll have to wait for Episode 4 to find out or put your guesses in the comments!
All the suitemates find themselves at odds as the Jesus' Hornblowers concert and the crab fundraiser both approach. Can friends be friends, or will this drive the suite apart?
Watch the episode on butv10 here.
CO-ED: Episode 2, Grinding
Our second episode (essentially the 2nd act of the original pilot episode) of Co-Ed intensifies a number of our plots.
Bethany and Dylan's feud over their conflicting events intensifies as both get, shall we say, crabby. Grant ropes Adam into six step program for getting over girls, putting them and Shane in quite the compromising situation.
Watch the episode on butv10 here.
CO-ED: Episode 1, "The Next Generation"
Back in December of 2011, I took over as Co-Executive Producer of "Co-Ed," a mockumentary that aired on Boston University's student-run television station, butv10. I took on being showrunner during a time when the comedy show was transitioning from a set of EPs and a cast that had graduated or moved on. The show was revamping with a new cast, a new pilot…
Thus, a new generation.
The pilot was already written when I took over with my fellow EPs Carolyn Cicalese and James Molinaro. However, for the next two years until this moment, the production and post-production of this pilot episode for The Next Generation underwent cast and crew changes so often that we were finally able to complete the episode this semester.
Carolyn and I decided to split this originally 30 minute episode into 3 smaller episodes, to accommodate more of a social YouTube way of viewing on the internet, despite the episode still airing on Channel 10 in Boston.
Despite all of the setbacks, Carolyn and I are excited to present the first episode of Co-Ed, "The Next Generation."
Watch the episode on butv10 here.
"The Biggest Loser Australia" Opening Titles
While interning with ZSPACE in Australia in 2012, I helped the crew work on the pitch and pre-production for the new opening titles to Australia's "The Biggest Loser: The Next Generation."
My duties included helping the company prepare their pitch to the showrunners in order to get the job. Once we (hooray!) got the job, we had to scout locations and plan out the logistics of the actual shoot. I unfortunately had to leave the country before the shoot happened, as my study abroad program had ended, but the final product is ultimately an emotive piece of work. I'm proud of the work the company did with this, capturing the strength of Cyndi Lauper's track to represent the strength the competitors need to discover and embody.
"The Great Australian Bake-Off" Opening Titles
While working as an intern with ZSPACE in 2012, I had a hand in the creation of the opening titles for a new show on Channel 9 in Australia, titled "The Great Australian Bake-Off."
My roles included first editing a pre-animatic so the Creative Director could piece together the timings of the 3D animations before we actually went out and shot the footage. Once it was time to shoot, I traveled with the crew to the outskirts of Sydney (almost near the Outback!) to witness some true Aussie living, and capture some of the iconic Aussie footage that the 3D artists would then turn into food.
It was an amazing learning experience, seeing how the process of adding animations to raw footage. There was much back and forth involved with arranging the soundtrack so the animations were timed correctly and didn't appear disjointed. It was interesting to note the differences the director and 3D artists noted, both criticisms leading to a perfect and fun polished clip.
The final product is below:
It's Time To BU: BU's Class of 2017 Matriculation
Matriculation? What the heck is Matriculation?
That's a question always heard around the beginning of the new academic year, as new students walk around their new home for maybe the first time. During the summer, new Terriers graduated from high school. When entering Boston University, the president reverses your graduation a bit, so that you may be matriculated into the university to become a fully fledged Terrier.
That's where I come in this year. I was asked to create a short film celebrating the Orientation sessions the students had experienced, as they now become brand new college students.
You may have seen, witnessed, or heard of my web series, "How To BU," that provided advice and entertaining antics to new Boston Terriers. Since many of the incoming students had watched parts of the series, I decided to take the mantra of learning "how to BU" and incorporate the meaning behind matriculation.
For them, it was now time to BU. This was their big moment.
But you can't move on if you don't celebrate the past, right?
The soundtrack is provided by Anna Kendrick's infectious melody, "Cups."
BU FYSOP 2013 Closing Ceremony Film
There's an essential fear that almost everyone experiences in their lifetime when entering a new part of their life. You don't know what's happening next; you don't know what's going to come of what new era you're stepping in to.
It's all a horror movie, really. That's the idea myself and two other BU students took into account when we were asked by BU's Director of Development Dr. Beverly Brown to produce and star in a short film to provide new students with upperclassmen advice, tips, tricks, and warnings about entering the university.
The result was a lot of fun to create. After filming all around campus, giving insight into different programs, activities, or ways of life, I applied multiple lighting effects at every turn to turn the university into…well, that's a spoiler alert!

Do Hummingbirds Bring Love?
There is a common folk belief in Mexico that hummingbirds bring love and romance. In ancient times, stuffed hummingbirds were worn as lucky charms to bring success in matters of the heart.
Even today dead hummingbirds are sold as amulets. There is also a practice that still persists of drying the heart of a dead hummingbird, then grinding it into a power, which can be used in love potions.
Perhaps you and someone special should get a pair of binoculars and watch what's happening in the flower garden. One never knows what interesting developments might occur.

How is faith like a bald spot? How is marriage like a bus tour? Is confession any good if I don't believe and what should I believe in, anyway? Why not, for instance, believe that there is a bald spot shaped exactly like Iceland on the back of Osama Bin Laden's head, which comes fully equipped with the Vestfjarda Peninsula to the west?
Believing is the specialty of Brian Doyle in his latest short fiction anthology, Bin Laden's Bald Spot & Other Stories. Published this fall by Red Hen Press, these twenty five remarkable vignettes are a necessity for any shelf. Peculiar and confrontational, the book is a world wrapped between the sheets of unforgettable circumstance and it's a wonder how Doyle has learned to pace himself. Award winning author and editor of Portland Magazine, Doyle leaves no time for dawdling in these morally off beat and nonsensical tales of what humanity would look like with consequences strung aside. What really happened to Bernard Francis Cardinal Law, archbishop of Boston and the man who waved a hand at child molestation? Would anyone notice if you locked your sister's loser boyfriend in the trunk and went on a cruise with the kids? How would you react if you discovered your neighbor's new born baby gently buried in your backyard? Continue reading

What is the Envirothon?
The Envirothon is a hands-on environmental problem solving competition for 9th-12th grade students in the United States and Canada. Teams train for and compete in five subject areas: Soils and Land Use, Aquatic Ecology, Forestry, Wildlife, and a rotating current environmental issue (2018 Topic: Western Rangeland Management: Balancing Diverse Views).
Competition Structure
Regional events are hosted in the spring for any interested teams. The competition consists of 4 written components, as well as an oral presentation on a current environmental topic that a team of 5 completes together. Winners from each county move on to the state competition. The national competition is held during the summer for each state's winning team. The 2018 National Envirothon will be July 22nd – July 27th, at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho.
Why Should I Participate?
The Envirothon is a unique opportunity for students to be exposed to many aspects of environmental science in a fun and hands-on group setting. It takes classroom learning to a new level by incorporating field professionals and a real-world look at these topics. The Envirothon also fits well into state and national science standards and is a great complement to AP Environmental Science or other high school science courses. It can also be a fun goal for a club or after-school group to achieve.
What to Expect
Teams are comprised of 5 high school students and can be formed through any type of organization. Training resources are provided on the Envirothon websites (envirothon.org) or through your local conservation district or sponsoring organization. Regional events will be held in spring 2018 (more information can be found under Current Competition).
Resources, handbooks and information about each topic can be found at the national Envirothon Website. Your local Conservation District also provides support in the form of sponsorship and trainings in preparation for the competition.

ok, my problem is about the lake of chained payment in membership Pro.
I need to sell courses with Coursepress by chained payment.
If I sell a course only with coursepress and marketpress then, no problem. Marketpress take care about the chained payment.
But, now my need is to sell course with dripped content.
Until now, the only way to sell by dripped content is to use Membership with URL groups for each module and create rules with time (1 day after subscription, 3 days after, 7 days…:wink:.
So here, customer must buy the course not with marketpress but with a Membership subscription (I don't know another way to do dripped content of courses).
But problem is that membership don't have a chained payment…
So my questions are :
1) Is there a way to sell a membership subscription as a marketpress product ? In other words, a customer goes in my courses shop (marketpress) and buy a 'product' but this 'product' is a membership subscription. Thus, in this case, Marketpress + chained payment control payment (and it's not Membership). And thus, membership subscription is ok and then access to dripped course content is allowed.
In other other words(!), I need marketpress controls payment, and Membership controls access by rules to modules/courses.
2)Otherwise, is chained payment is in the features roadmap of membership pro or protected content plugin ?
3)What are low/high job prices for this job :
"Add Chained payment gateway to membership plugin" ?
4)What are low/high job prices for this job :
"Can sell a Membership subscription in Marketpress shop".
Membership must controls access only and marketpress controls payments, but two work together.
Thank you very much for your answers.
Best regards

Of the big, wide, wonderful world of real estate, lately I've been watching one key element, a specific spectrum on which consumer preferences seem to be crawling out to the extremes. The bell curve seems to be flipping upside down when it comes to housing customization.
For instance, last week, I read a story about a filmmaker who recently closed escrow on an $8 million house — with plans to tear it down and build a $20 million home in its place!
I'm guessing that the rationale is that the lot is that desirable, although that seems like a big old stretch in logic when you draw it to its logical conclusion that no other lot in America priced at below $8 million would do.

Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2006-08-14 22:38:25 UTC
Have you read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/KernelModules? Can you provide the requested information, in particular: * A publishable explanation from the author(s) why the module is not merged with the mainline kernel yet and when it's planed to get merged. You of course can ask the author to explain it directly in the bug report.
Comment 2 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-08-14 23:41:21 UTC
rt2x00 is in development and will be merged with the mainline kernel as soon as it will be ready, this is planned! (and then provide kernel module for all ralink wifi chipset) But there is a bug and rt2x00 cannot be built on fedora ( i'm searching for already submitted bug... ) asking publishable information from the author...
Comment 3 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-08-15 10:31:05 UTC
quote of IvD: * Ivo van Doorn (aka IvD) o Source-rebuild rt2x00 main developer o rt2400/rt2500 Source Code fixes and enhancements "The legacy drivers: rt2400, rt2500, rt2570, rt61 and rt73 will _never_ be merged with the kernel tree since they do not comply with any of the kernel coding rules. The design is ugly, it is not portable and is buggy on SMP and PREEMPT enabled machines, and is even more buggy on big endian machines. rt2x00 already is in the wireless-dev tree and will be merged upstream when rt2x00 and the dscape stack are stable. When they are it would also finally resolve the solution that rt2x00 is not working with Fedora Core kernels because he Fedora Core kernels are so heavily patched that the API of certain structures have changed and external module compilation will always fail. " Answear about how much time it will take will follow...
Comment 4 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-08-15 11:09:12 UTC
Question about how much time... quote of IvD: "Well it all depends on when rt2x00 is considered stable, dscape might make it to the main kernel tree within a few months. How soon rt2x00 follows afterwards really depends on how fast successes are being achieved with the last few issues regarding association time and the remaining RX issues. So no schedule can be given for neither the next rt2x00 beta, the final rt2x00 or rt2x00 moving to main kernel tree. rt2x00 will be considered stable when it is stable. " I see a lot of theses Ralink wifi chipset in computers around me, but not so much drivers for Fedora or other distributions... That 's why i've made a pre-compiled module for FC5 (may work with FC4 and legacy!) Obviously it may be better than using Ndiswarper... The driver will be osolete as soon as the rt2x00 can build on a Fedora kernel... ( compilation fails for rt2x00- here is somme info : http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=12631#12631) I don't know if a bug is already submitted for this issue...

Comment 6 David Fraser 2006-09-23 18:49:02 UTC
Depends on RutilT
Comment 7 Aurelien Bompard 2006-10-02 08:12:46 UTC
I don't think it should Require RutilT, since the wifi card can be configured using command-line tools. RutilT would bring way too much dependencies (like Xorg...) for a simple wifi card driver. This would be a good use case for the Suggests tag that rpm CVS has. But not yet.
Comment 8 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-10-02 09:10:43 UTC
This is true. RuiltT is not necessary to setup the card. I will drop the requires tag next time... In fact , it is easier NOT to use this tools but system-config-network (that have been reported by some users!) About the release in extras repository, i think i will close this bug because rt2x00 version can now be built on fc5 with a quick patch. I still trying to have working impressions from users then i will open a new review request titled rt2x00-kmod... (I don't expect i will be necessary to have both version!)

Great, I have an USB dongle with a ralink chipset so I can test this. Please

Comment 11 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-10-02 23:47:30 UTC
I've decided to follow with this review request because some info about the module and when it is planned to be merged is already there. rt2x00-kmod-common is on the same review (so i will close the old rt2500-(kmod-common) ). I expect it will be fine...

A few things bother me about this package. It's not just shipping a driver for rt2x00 hardware. It's shipping a whole new 802.11 network stack that isn't included upstream yet. I would really like to see the dscape stack broken out into a separate kmod package at the very least. Also, the README file explicitly states that compiling against Fedora kernels is problematic. Fixing the problems requires a non-trivial understanding of both the device driver, and the generic kernel code it's calling. The upstream developers will not even provide compilation steps for this. Do you, ask the packager, have the knowledge to either fix these issues as they arise, or work with upstream to get the resolved quickly? Because if not, this package is doomed to lag behind and users will not be able to update their kernels, etc. The README also goes as far as to suggest complaining to the Fedora developers. That is most certainly not the right thing to do.
Comment 14 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-10-19 23:10:03 UTC
First I would like to thank you to answear this review. I'm not a packager throught i need to be sponsored for packages in FE extras... But... please notice that making a kmod on FE (in general) in the state of the policy is a "perfect double bind" which leads to make schizophrenic packagers. On one hand, kernel modules have to be inside the kernel tree, on the other hand, when they are in development, why integrate them inside a kmod if they are not as good as for the kernel. The kmod aims isn't to make easy updatable kernel module out of the kernel tree because they require this in fact (for their development!?! The choice a user of a ralink wifi chipset has in fact is to use the Ndis scheme based "module" - so why can we ask the vendor of such scheme to develop wifi module for linux ? Wifi users have the choice actually - But they sould have the choice to use linux module too... (when they are avaible - and it is the case for now!) I agree with you the situation isn't satisfaying with the d80211 stack. But make a different kmod for this seems to be more problematic because it deals with versions that different wifi module will use! There is the netdev kernel issue for this specific problem (d80211 stack is in netdev in think?) The compilation problem is more difficult to me. Now it works fine! I expected it was since kernel 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 was released but it seems to be more difficult: So that's the point! Here is the discution with the developper (IvD): http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=15075#15075 People will not be able to update their kernel with the kmod-rt2x00 package nor to compile themselves the rt2x00 package for most of them nor to use an old rt2500 rt2400 rt2570 etc version because they are so buggy on smp and unstable... So the last chance for them is to dual-boot a kernel until it works... (thought this is not satisfaying for me too!) That's all for now - I will try to fix this but i'm not a programmer - i'm just a student in architecture... So your help is welcome! Thx one second time to answear this post! Nicolas
Comment 15 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-10-20 10:28:08 UTC
I have to correct something : there is no d80211 stack with the netdev kernel... (2.6.18-1.2200.2.9.fc5.netdev.13 (or i did not find it...)

Comment 17 John W. Linville 2006-10-26 17:59:10 UTC
Where are you pulling the stack from? Is it straight from wireless-dev?
Comment 18 John W. Linville 2006-10-26 18:02:50 UTC
You d80211 packages seem to come straight from the rt2x00 project. I think you should have a clean extract of the code from wireless-dev if you are doing to create a d80211 package. A d80211 package ought to be driver-agnostic, not tied to the rt2x00 driver.
Comment 19 Thorsten Leemhuis 2006-10-27 14:48:29 UTC
kmod was approved by FESCO as long as the issues Linville (and the review itself) brought/brings up get solved.
Comment 20 Giuseppe Castagna 2006-10-31 19:33:52 UTC
I just received my rt2x00 based wireless card and wanted to give a try to your packages. Unfortunately all the kmod rpms are missing from http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/6/x86_64 What's up? Just a temporary problem?

I guess you have serious problems in naing your packages and mantaining your dependencies. Let me know if I can be of any help Beppe
Comment 22 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-10-31 22:20:50 UTC
FC6 are only build on i386 because i'm making a transition between FC5-FC6. I wish it exist an "external built from extras" that would be possible. But i will drop "testing" support on wy website for FC5(and gain support for fc6 in few days i hope...). I also cannot use my signing key for rpmsign. It works for gpg but not for rpmsign, i don't know why! Feel free to mail me for this issues,... You can have more informations about my test repository here: (in french!) http://kwizart.free.fr/blog ----- Thank you John W. Linville to answear this review! I plan to try this tommorrow! The first thought is : if the d80211 code is modified then it may has a good reason. And that's why it cannot be inside the vanilla kernel! Another thought is if a person needs the rt2x00-kmod he probably do not needs another based d80211 wifi chipset module (like bcm43xx, but there is certainly others planned!).So i wonder if it is a good choice to make two differents packages before d80211 will be inside the kernel tree? I will try to investigate with some example... I also tried to make a kmod with the netdev kernel but i didn't riched! any tips? the netdev suffix do not seem to be "in a name"... I also thanks Thorsten Leemhuis for his well-documented kmod scheme! I've read the FESCo meeting about rt2x00 but I have 6days of decay... I expect the approval is for rt2x00-kmod! It is a good news, but the less better one is that users seems to report difficulties to the setup step. There is a manual setup protocol witch gives better results (iwconfig - See the readme) whereas the automatic scripts setup (system-network-config) send the command too fast for the device...I thought it was about miss-versionning between wireless-extension V20 and wireless-tools V19 on FC5. I will see what's happen on fc6 next days... So i hope it can be at least on testing for fc6! I'm also still considering the comment #13 by Josh Boyer. Maybe more info about this when a future testing kernel will avaible. I will then reference a bug about this issues and a kernel-testing! I will try to investigate this with
Comment 23 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-11-10 01:04:48 UTC
Compilation works with the testing kernel-2.6.18-1.2835.fc6 (same url) d80211(-kmod-common) SRPMS URL: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/SOURCES/d80211-0.0.0cvs20061110-1.kwizart.fc6.src.rpm SPEC URL http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/SOURCES/d80211.spec d80211-kmod SRPMS URL: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/SOURCES/d80211-kmod-0.0.0cvs20061110-220.127.116.11_1.2835.kwizart.fc6.src.rpm SPEC URL: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/SOURCES/d80211-kmod.spec I will work on the linville issue, when i will have more time... Any answears, felling or thoughts to the question i ask? Thx Nicolas
Comment 24 John W. Linville 2006-11-22 18:36:18 UTC
FWIW, I have included a d80211 patch in my FC6 test kernels: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc6/ This is not directly related to packaging, but it might be interesting to anyone stumbling upon this bug.
Comment 25 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-11-24 00:48:41 UTC
Which command sould I use to grab the same version of the d80211 than the one you used in the "jwl" testing kernel? i grab the whole wireless-dev tree when trying to made a snapshot with a script... The main command was: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git wireless-dev-$git Can i grab only d80211, bcm43xx(if your version is d80211 based not soft_mac!) and then rt2x00 witch is currently not in the wireless-dev tree for now! Maybe others ones are fine to be built with the d80211 stack (hostap, atmel or others?) I will try to take the tree last d80211 patches; and then see if i can replace the d80211 stack version included from rt2x00 with this one... does it sounds good?
Comment 26 John W. Linville 2006-11-24 02:36:39 UTC
The last commit before generating that patch: 39d58f9228dee66c22ce1b1d314c8012b892ea4d FWIW, the raw patch needed a little massaging before it would build on FC6. You may want to look at the patches from the fc6.jwltest kernels for inspiration. The d80211 tree has a number of drivers available, including bcm43xx, rt2x00 (look closer!), adm8211, and p54. Intel is supposed to make an ipw3945 driver available for d80211 "soon" as well. I would be happy to discuss a tagging regime for wireless-dev if that would facilitate packaging.
Comment 27 Danny Yee 2006-12-08 10:18:14 UTC
I would love to have a solid rt2x00 package for Fedora Core 6. I'm currently running FC 6 with an FC 5 kernel, because I haven't been able to get a stable system using either the older rt61 driver (which is what I use under FC5) or the rt2x00 driver.
Comment 28 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2006-12-08 13:50:40 UTC
@Danny Yee rt2x00 is in development and sould be considered stable when d80211 stack will be in the kernel tree.. (not until 2.6.21 kernel and rt2x00 should certainly be integrated with it). You can try my testing repository here : http://kwizart.free.fr/blog/index.php?17 http://kwizart.free.fr/blog/index.php?10 You can try both rt61 and rt2x00 kmod for fc6, try the rt2x00 first and then rt61.Don't forget the rt61-firmware for it (rt2x00 only!) (it 's in french but i can provide you support in english!) In fine it will help the review... @John W. Linville I've took theses files to build the d80211 kmod: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc6/patches/jwltest-d80211-backport.patch http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc6/patches/jwltest-d80211-backport-fixup.patch http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc6/patches/jwltest-cfg80211-fixup.patch I spent few time upon this question but last time i've found that rt2x00 from serial monkey do not works with the patches you provides or needs some tweaks. So the direction i'm involved is to take rt2x00 version from the patches you provides which is not the same package thought... (but certainly a better stable... less support?) wip...
Comment 29 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2007-01-29 03:57:13 UTC
Since users still report failing (most of the time with association with ap) I think this is too much early to split the package... Recent involvement of the module can enable the debugfs inside a recent kernel (2.6.18 but only work with fedora and this module since 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6) So it would be interesting in trying to help and report feedback, See: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2695 A more recent version: SRPMS http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/6/SRPMS/rt2x00-kmod-0.0.0cvs20070113-126.96.36.199_1.2895.fc6.src.rpm http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/6/SRPMS/rt2x00-0.0.0cvs20070113-1.kwizart.fc6.src.rpm SPECS: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/SPECS/rt2x00.spec http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/SPECS/rt2x00-kmod.spec
Comment 30 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2007-01-29 04:17:03 UTC
Also notes that hostapd and wpa-supplicant need to be patched in order to work with rt2x00 version (d80211 from rt2x00 repository - i don't know yet about wireless-dev version!) See also on the : http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2434
Comment 31 Josh Boyer 2007-02-25 20:28:23 UTC
The rawhide kernel as of 2/25/2007 currently has the d80211 stack and the rt2x00 drivers included in it. Please test this kernel out and report any issues to the kernel maintainers. For the most part, the inclusion of these drivers in the rawhide kernel has rendered this bug obsolete. I'll leave it open for now, but it will likely get closed in the future.
Comment 32 Kevin Fenzi 2007-06-02 03:49:52 UTC
Nicolas: Can we go ahead and close this now since the d80211 versions are in F-7 and devel now? I will close this and if you disagree or have a reason to keep it open, you can feel free to re-open it. Thanks.
Comment 33 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2007-06-02 07:54:01 UTC
I agree! thx for closing this bug! About Ralink's devices: I will submit RutilT soon as this utility seems to help to configure some rt2x00 based devices. There is also two firmwares that need to be reviewed (but missing license may be a blocker for now...)

Russian President Vladimir Putin returned to Moscow on Wednesday after a week-long tour that took him to Cuba and Canada, ITAR-TASS reported.
Putin was the first post-Soviet era leader to visit Cuba, but his two-day trip was suprisingly low-key and leader Fidel Castro was reported to be disappointed by the lack of financial aid coming from the Kremlin.
The Russian president's visit to Canada focused on strategic stability and Putin reiterated his opposition to the nuclear missile shield the United States wants to build to protect itself from "rogue states" like North Korea or Iran -- MOSCOW (AFP)

Our Services
Good oral health affects your long term oral health. Plaque and tartar build up on your teeth and below your gums. Long term build up can cause gum disease. Gum disease is a risk factor for illnesses such as diabetes, stroke, pneumonia and heart disease. Unhealthy gums can also cause bone loss in your jacausing teeth to become loose. Getting regular teeth cleanings by our trained dental hygienists can help prevent this.
A filling is recommended when your dentist detects a cavity. There are many filling materials available depending on the size of a cavity, however the most commonly used is a white filing material so that a natural appearance is achieved. Smaller cavities are can be filled directly inside the mouth in one convenient visit, where as larger cavities may require a different material and be completed in two visits. If a cavity is not repaired it will continue to grow and will become painful. This can lead to a root canal or tooth loss.
A crown is a restoration that provides full coverage of your tooth (think of it as a cap on your tooth) and is used to help strengthen a tooth that is prone to fracture either due to an existing crack, or a large existing filling. It is also useful in restoring teeth that have had a root canal. A crown is matched to the shade of the rest of your teeth in order to give a natural appearance. A crown aids in keeping the jaw and bite aligned, prevents shifting of other teeth, and bears the forces from biting and chewing.
A bridge is used to replace one or multiple teeth. It is usually anchored to the teeth on either side of the space. The teeth being used as anchors usually have crowns placed on top of them as well. A bridge commonly consists of a fake tooth (or teeth) in the centre and have crowns attached on either side. The entire bridge is cemented in place and the fake tooth (or teeth) sits on top of the gums to give the illusion of a real tooth, or multiple teeth emerging from the gums. Bridges come in various materials such as porcelain (matched to the shade of your existing teeth) or gold.
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain that is attached to the front side of your tooth to improve esthetics such as spacing, alignment, and discolouration. They are usually made out of porcelain or white filling material in order to match the shade of your natural teeth.
How your teeth fit together can affect your oral health and function greatly. Teeth that do not fit together properly (due to crowding, spacing, early loss of teeth, etc) are harder to clean, are at risk for tooth decay and periodontal disease, and can cause stress on the chewing muscles leading to headaches, TMJ issues, as well as neck, shoulder, and back pain. Orthodontics (braces) can help alleviate all of this and at the same time give you a beautiful smile! We have an in house orthodontist to take care of all your needs whether it is providing conventional orthodontics, Invisalign, and so much more!
When bacteria enters your tooth by either deep cavities, cracks, or older fillings, it can reach the nerve inside your tooth and cause an infection. When the nerve of your tooth becomes infected a successful root canal lets you keep the tooth rather than having it removed. If left, an infected nerve can cause severe pain, swelling, and the infection can spread which can be extremely painful and dangerous. The infected nerve is cleaned, sealed, and filled therefore alleviating any pain.
Your natural teeth help you bite, chew, maintain your mouth and jawbone structure, and so much more. This is why it is a dentists first priority to save and repair your natural teeth. However, we understand that sometimes a tooth extraction is unavoidable. We will ensure that your extraction is as comfortable as can be and will guide you through every step of the procedure as well as post care instructions.
Dentures are used as replacements for people who are missing most or all of their teeth. They are made of a flesh coloured acrylic base which fits over the gums and artificial teeth are inserted into the base. In most cases they are removable and are taken out at night. There are two types of dentures – partial and complete. A partial denture rests on either a metal or acrylic framework and attaches to your existing teeth by metal clasps. A complete denture has an acrylic base and is used when you are missing all your teeth. In some cases, an immediate denture can be inserted directly after having teeth removed therefore never having to be without teeth. Implant supported dentures are also an option that provide a more stable, functional denture.
A dental implant can replace one or several teeth, and can also be used for full or partial removable, or permanent dentures. An implant is an artificial root made out of titanium metal that is placed in the jaw to mimic the root of a natural tooth. A crown is attached to the implant and matched to the shade of your teeth in order to look like a natural tooth. The implant acts as the anchor to hold the crown in place. An implant is the closest treatment option available which functions like a real tooth. Implants come in the form of single implants (to replace one tooth), an implant supported bridge (to replace several teeth), or an implant supported denture (to replace all or most of your teeth).
Most whitening agents contain bleach to help get rid of external stain on your teeth leaving you with a whiter, brighter smile. There are many different methods of teeth whitening, and it is important to consult with your dentist which method is best for you. We offer custom fitted whitening trays molded to your teeth and provide you with whitening kits to take home. Please remember bleaching should be done under the care of your dentist.
A custom fitted sports guard protects your teeth from damage, reduces the chances of sustaining a face, neck, or head injury such as a concussion, as well as aids in talking and breathing. A custom fitted sports guard even fits over braces and other dental restorations. After taking molds of your teeth, the sports guard is made on site at our office. A custom fit ensures the very best protection and comfort while playing. If you have children who play contact sports, it is very important to have a custom fitted sports guard made for them.
You can't plan for an emergency. Whether your child falls and hits their tooth, you have an unexpected toothache, or anything in between, we offer same day dental pain and trauma management.

Troubling drop in local turnout for primary
Turnout for Tuesday's primary election in Marquette County was slightly lower than last year's primary.
About 28.22 percent of voters cast their ballots in Marquette County, a small decrease from the 28.76 percent turnout in last year's primary.
The Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday 2 million votes were cast in Michigan, and based on still incomplete and unofficial election returns, it appears voter turnout was close to 28 percent. This turnout, according to the Free Press, shattered records going back at least as far as 1978, a state election official confirmed.
Based on data from the Michigan Secretary of State's Office, the most people to vote in any Michigan primary — midterm or presidential — since 1978, was the 1,722,869 people who voted in the 2002 gubernatorial primary, the Free Press article stated. While we are glad that the numbers seem to be going in the right direction, and we understand that primary elections tend to have lower numbers — we still don't feel this is even close to enough.
A recent article by the Pew Research Center illustrated that the U.S. trails most developed countries in voter turnout. The Census Bureau estimated that there were 245.5 million Americans ages 18 and older in November 2016, about 157.6 million of whom reported being registered to vote. (While political scientists typically define turnout as votes cast divided by the number of eligible voters, in practice turnout calculations usually are based on the estimated voting-age population, or VAP.) Just over 137.5 million people told the census they voted in 2016, somewhat higher than the actual number of votes tallied — nearly 136.8 million, according to figures compiled by the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, though that figure includes more than 170,000 blank, spoiled or otherwise null ballots.
The 55.7 percent VAP turnout in 2016 puts the U.S. behind most of its peers in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, most of whose members are highly developed, democratic states, according to the Pew article. Looking at the most recent nationwide election in each OECD nation, the U.S. placed 26th out of 32.
Given, some of these countries have compulsory voting — laws which require eligible citizens to register and vote in national and/or local elections — which can have a strong influence, even if they aren't strictly enforced. There are some who believe the U.S. should have compulsory voting; we simply believe that our citizens should care enough to get out there and make their voices heard. As it has so often been said — if you don't vote, then you can't complain. However, there seems to be a lot of complaining going on, and we're willing to bet that many of the folks doing so didn't show up to cast their vote on Tuesday. Well, you will have another opportunity in November — don't let it pass you by.

Documenting Nepal's Last Nomads
In January of this year I invited my longtime friend, Keith Thompson, to join me on a trip to Nepal. The objective was to deliver water purification systems to remote villages and scout new routes for upcoming trips with my nonprofit, Clean Drink Adventures. Leading the way was my philanthropic partner, Vishu Sijali.
There are few people with a more intimate knowledge of rural Nepal. I attribute it to two things. The dude is tough-as-nails and he has perpetually itchy feet. He spends an insane amount of time exploring the remote haunts of Nepal on his motorbike. It's how he knows things, places, and people others don't, like where to find the country's most elusive tribe, the Raute nomads.
For the better part of a millennium, Nepal's colorful nomads thrived in the jungled forests of the Himalayan foothills. Living in peaceful harmony with nature, they move in synchronicity with the seasons. During the summer months they climb into the mountains to escape monsoon floods and oppressive heat. As winter arrives they descend to escape the cold.
It's a cycle of life which has defined their very essence. But the rhythms of nature have changed. A shifting climate and evolving landscape conspire to interrupt their movements. Encroaching villages and the advances of terraced mountainsides now force the Raute to live in the shrinking wilds in between. Once a romantic example of wandering ways, their vibrant culture has taken on the pained existence of vagrancy. They live where they can, however they must. For centuries they foraged for plants, fruits, and wild vegetables in the jungle. Now they frequently embark on desperate raids of local gardens in nearby villages. Believing domestic animals produce fouled meat, they prefer a diet of Langur monkey, a source of food now gone scarce. Malnutrition is rife. Infant deaths are common. The Raute struggle to survive.
It took us the better part of the day to find their camp, but it was worth the effort. We spent several hours in the company of Nepal's jungle ghosts, a privilege not many outsiders receive. Few are allowed access to their camp and our visit was not without a few tense moments. The Raute are governed by strong taboos and watched over by forest spirits easily made angry. Some of the villagers worried our presence would rile those jungle gods.
Over the last few years many people have sought to document the demise of the Raute, a sad story indeed. Once counted in the thousands, the Raute's last community averaged 150 individuals for 3-5 years. As we left their camp, Keith and I placed the number closer to 80. We wondered if the Raute would survive the next monsoons. Most of the remaining tribe has abandoned their traditional ways and retreated to government funded camps. It's an ignominious end to a vibrant and ancient culture.
As a photographer, I know when I'm recording images I will never replicate. For many travel photographers, they strive to capture shots of colorful beaches, posh hotels, and scenes they hope will compel people to hop a plane to see for themselves. I think that's fine, just not for me.
The world is changing. People are dying, struggling, surviving, laughing, and thriving. The spectrum of life in all of its textured, triumphant, and tormented colors cannot be photographed with typical Instagram-inspired travel photography.
I travel. I take photos. These photos are of travel. But they also document life in all of its fragility. After 900 years, I found the Raute on the eve of their cultural extinction. It made me melancholy, but profoundly honored to be allowed to see how life is, and has been, for Nepal's last nomads.
This––is travel photography.

Teaching K-12 is Brutally Hard. Here's How CZI Is Offering Support/
Editor's Note: This article was originally published on February 5, 2018.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is placing the professional, social and emotional support of teachers near the forefront of its work with the latest round of education grants. The stance marks a stark contrast to the anti-teacher rhetoric that's often associated with education reform circles.
"Our strategy is to help teachers do the work of their lives, and by doing so, transform kids' lives," Jim Shelton, the head of CZI's education division, told Inside Philanthropy. "When we start talking about how you actually improve teaching and learning, people always assume we're actually talking about the students, but if we don't focus as much on how we improve the teaching and learning of our teachers then the likelihood that they can do that for our students is pretty low."
This is not the first time that CZI has invested in teachers. It's previously made grants to the New Teacher Center and TNTP, as well as Teach for America. But these grants signal a larger commitment to this area and come at a time that the teaching profession faces major challenges. Even as reports abound of teacher shortages, many of those already in the profession are struggling with their jobs. A survey by the American Federation Teachers found 78 percent of educators and para-educators said that they are often physically and emotionally exhausted at the end of the day. Any number of other surveys have found low morale among teachers. Often, though, these problems have gotten little attention amid polarized K-12 battles pitting teachers unions against the charter school movement and its funders. As we've noted in the past, CZI seems determined not to get sucked into the ed wars. It's made a point of engaging a wide range of stakeholders and avoiding divisive language.
Related: Fresh Start: The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the New Era of K-12 Philanthropy
Shelton said: "One of the things we're trying to do with all of our work is to make sure that we're listening—that we're listening to the communities where we're doing our work, that we're listening to the students about experiences they want to have and that we're listening to teachers about what their needs are. One of the things that made us do the work on teacher stress is that no one is talking about it, except the teachers who are feeling it every single day."
The new grants vary in scope and focus, but all center on supporting teachers. Some go to the things you'd expect like training and professional development. A grant for $1.5 million will support professional development, including one-on-one mentorship for young teachers in the Ravenswood City School District in San Mateo, California.
In another bid to help young teachers, $3 million funds personalizing the learning experience for masters students training to be teachers at the Woodrow Wilson Academy for Teaching and Learning. Personalized learning for children has become a signature cause for CZI lately, so it's no surprise that they would want to apply the principle to teaching for teachers.

About $1.1 million will focus on veteran teachers who want to incorporate social and emotional learning into their classrooms, something that may not have been emphasized earlier in their careers, Shelton noted. That grant will go to Stephanie Jones at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for research and development into strategies and tools to facilitate social and emotional learning.
Another grant for $75,000 will focus on teaching's emotional toll. It will support a pilot program that will provide 160 new public school teachers with techniques that promote self-care, stress management and emotional well-being. Matthew Biel, a doctor at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, will run the lead the pilot.
"This work is a hard press. It takes a lot of energy and emotion from someone who's doing it well," Shelton said of teaching. "For a teacher to be able to do that work well, they need to basically be able to take care of themselves."
Grants of relatively small size from a funder with CZI's deep pockets are worth examining in terms of how they fit into long-term strategies. Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are worth $70 billion and have pledged to give away 99 percent of their wealth, so small grants like these can hint at much bigger payouts later.
"I'd be shocked if you didn't see many more grants of this nature and others that are focused specifically on supporting educators," Shelton said.
More broadly, CZI is focused on the recent research that points to the importance of context, environment and relationships on student development, Shelton said. "You're going to see a lot more from us on how to help school leaders, teachers and district leaders think about how they create that context, those environments and those relationships that enable powerful learning."
Listening to Shelton, it's almost hard to remember that he works for the same philanthropist who made a controversial $100 million gift to improve Newark's public schools in 2010—an effort widely criticized for its top-down approach. And, in fact, Shelton really doesn't—like so many major donors, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have learned on the job and evolved considerably over recent years. These latest grants to support teachers further underscore that shift.
