Kevin Cosgrove
I had not heard the 9-1-1 call Kevin Cosgrove made from the World Trade Centre moments before it collapsed. Until Now (via the Flea).
This is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in nearly 28 years of life on Earth. And it made me think.
Every day brings challenges for me, and lately I have become quite frustrated at work. I feel as though I work very hard, and although I do not get paid a six figure salary, at the end of the day I can know that I have done good work and have helped people out. Even though 98% of my customers will tell you they are more than satisfied with my efforts, inevitably there are one or two that you simply cannot do enough for. After watching the video footage of Kevin Cosgrove's final moments alive, I cannot help but think of myself as a complete total whiner. I'm a whiner for getting so riled up over something so trivial. So insignificant. And yet I allow it to affect me to the point where it affects my relationships with those around me; those I care most about.
The challenges I face are miniscule compared what Kevin Cosgrove faced in the moments before he died. "Oh God..."
And people cheered when the towers fell. They cheered when Kevin Cosgrove died.
Never Forget.
Update 10:35pm - If you've got fifteen minutes or so to spare, please read The Web of Trust, by Bill Whittle. It fits nicely with what I'm thinking and feeling right now.

It appears that Turkey's powerful prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and his popular Justice and Development Party (AK Party) have set the election campaign on fear and divisions, rather than a conciliatory tone in a very much polarized society. Erdoğan's people are determined to run a partisan campaign, hoping this will prevent defectors from peeling away from the ranks. In the aftermath of the May-June anti-government rallies as part of the Gezi Park protests, the AK Party was in fact able to gain some points it had lost since the last elections of 2011, when voters were scared off by the violence that erupted amid protests. This was a temporary spike, however, and the AK Party could not hold onto gains when the tension in society was diffused.
That is the primary reason why Erdoğan thinks he needs to invent straw men to attack in a bid to channel voters' disillusionment with his government. Out of the blue, he comes up with issues that nobody has been discussing in society and in fact no mainstream political party was even proposing. Then he holds these up as if they are real issues that matter to voters. He played around with abortion, coed housing, capital punishment, the interest lobby and private prep schools to steer the national debate away from substantive issues that might damage his rule. Erdoğan is now pinning his hopes for election victory on sharpening divisions with artificially inflated issues.
When Erdoğan was fighting against nosy military generals and overzealous judges and prosecutors, who were sworn to protect state interests against individual rights and liberties, he was getting big support from Turkish people who felt the brunt of this overbearance in their daily lives. This time around, however, he is picking battles with made-up enemies that are not on the radar for Turks. When he touted the idea of an "interest lobby," a murky and ambiguous term, as being behind the Gezi Park protests, Erdoğan was unsuccessful in creating a solid and formidable enemy to fight with in the eyes of voters.
The AK Party may very well survive a bruising victory in the local elections in March of next year, with Erdoğan's popularity taking a hit. It may win the next national elections in 2015. However, in the medium term, the AK Party is vulnerable to challengers. First, the public is not buying the artificial issues thrown at them by the AK Party leadership and voters are not afraid of straw men dressed up by Erdoğan as villains to attack. Second, the opposition has smartened up and is no longer taking the bait. When the AK Party pushed the headscarf issue for women deputies in Parliament with the hope of scoring some points from the escalation of the crisis, the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) balked at the idea of mounting a fierce opposition to that change. The same tactic also paid off for the CHP when it did not endorse the controversial coed housing for students. The governing party felt like it had the rug pulled from underneath when it was stripped of the ability to play with controversial issues.
Moreover, Erdoğan's strategy of consolidating its own troops with deepening divisions seems to have backfired. Rather, the troops on the opposite side of the line seem to be strengthening and solidifying their positions in the face of relentless stigmatizing and marginalizing attacks by the government on various groups. The constant playback of harsh rhetoric by Erdoğan and his men emboldens anti-AK Party groups into digging their heels deeper into trenches. As if adding further fuel to the fire, the governing party has alienated enough groups that supported the government in tough times. This includes liberals, independents, social democrats, moderates and conservative groups that are turned off by increasingly assertive political Islamist ideology on the government agenda.
At the crux of the problem lies the ownership issue with which AK Party does not seem to be comfortable. Erdoğan's "my way or the highway attitude" in driving the national agenda without actually consulting all the stakeholders on a given issue has unnecessarily increased tension in Turkish society. When the government proposed some legal amendments to improve press freedom as part of judicial reform packages, we, as media professionals who are on the frontline, were not even consulted in Turkey. Instead, the government came up with its own version and rushed it through Parliament, keeping the sword hanging over our heads. The result is that press freedom woes still linger in Turkey.
On the fast-tracked education bill that was adopted in March, the government did not ask for input from the teachers' union, professional organizations, academia or parent-teacher groups. The law, popularly known as the "4+4+4" education law, included some good changes. Yet the hastily arranged reform caught the education system unprepared with a lack of teachers and facilities, while leaving parents bewildered on what to do. Hence, the reform received much criticism from everybody just as was the case for many ensuing changes in the education system the government abruptly announced at the last minute.
To suppress public debate on important issues, the government often resorted to back-door politics to circumvent established rules in holding a wider discussion in Parliament and the media. Draft bills, usually prepared by the relevant ministries with input from stakeholders, have been penned in the Prime Ministry's Office with a small cadre of advisors and dropped on the Parliament floor with a last-minute motion. Therefore, no discussion was held in parliamentary commissions. Even Cabinet members whose portfolios were impacted were kept out of the loop. For example, in July of last year, the government rushed an amendment through a motion on the floor to abolish specially authorized courts that were dealing with crimes against constitutional order, organized crime, terror and drug trafficking. The Justice Ministry was not even aware of the motion, even though it had to deal with the ramifications of the amendment.
In April, the AK Party resorted to another bypass to amend the law on the Court of Accounts in order to significantly trim the court's powers to audit and review government expenditures. Instead of sending the draft through a government-sponsored bill, the AK Party asked some deputies to co-sponsor the bill and submit the draft to Parliament. The draft will revise the 2010 law on the Court of Accounts, which was hailed as a breakthrough by the EU on improving transparency and accountability in government spending. The draft comes after the AK Party's botched attempt to change the law by burying an amendment in an omnibus law that was appended at the last minute on the floor in the summer of 2012. Thankfully, the change was later cancelled by the Constitutional Court on an appeal by the opposition.
In June of this year, the Taraf daily reported that the government was secretly preparing a draft bill to give overarching and broad powers to Turkey's intelligence agency. The draft, obtained by the newspaper, indicated that the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) can prey on the privacy of Turkish citizens by profiling and collecting a massive amount of data while obtaining sweeping powers to conduct domestic operations and psychological warfare, and arrest people without a judge's order. The draft came a year later when the Turkish government pushed an amendment through Parliament in February 2012 to require prosecutors to receive special permission from the prime minister when taking legal action against or questioning intelligence officials.
The last straw by Erdoğan came this week when a draft version of a law seeking the closure of all kinds of privately established prep schools (dershanes) leaked to the media. The bill is so drastic that even private tutoring for kids at homes by parents is banned. The intrusive move is seen as a huge blow to free enterprise and the right to education, prompting concerns that the closure of these schools will block upward mobility in Turkish society. Many saw this as Erdoğan's attempt to pressure the Gülen movement, which runs one-third of prep schools, into silencing criticism of the government on the eve of elections. The movement is critical of the government on corruption, weakened transparency and accountability, loss of enthusiasm for the EU process, lack of bold democratic reforms to address the country's chronic woes, including the Alevi and Kurdish problems. The banning of prep schools curtails the free market credentials of the AK Party government while potentially scaring international investors into shying away from the Turkish market.
All in all, Erdoğan's new way of ruling Turkey has dealt a big blow to his credibility as well as to the trustworthiness of the AK Party's election program, which promised better accountability, increased transparency and better protection of privacy in government while boosting the free market economy and limiting the role of government. It will be difficult to convince voters on new pledges in the next election when the AK Party has already reneged on past promises.

Perseverance. An essential quality for a writer. Yet soooo boring. Yikes. I mean… really. Even saying the word takes forever! Come on… Four syllables? Give me a break. A decent writer could have said the same thing with three syllables, maybe even two. Right?
During last year's PRO boot camp at the RWA conference, we listened to Ellen Edwards share details of the long road from book acceptance to book publication. Endless steps on a seemingly endless journey. Her talk followed Colleen Gleason's tight presentation of the many steps a writer can take on the path to self-promotion. For all of us with stars in our eyes, imagining that the most work we'll have to do (and the most waiting we'll have to endure) is simply the process of completing our WIP, this came as a shock. Someone flipped on the lights and the stars became an endless series of pinpricks in a very, very high ceiling. Would we reach that ceiling? Did we want to?
"Nothing in life just happens. You have to have the stamina to meet the obstacles and overcome them." ~ Golda Meir
It's true. Nothing in life just happens. The novel we yearn to pen doesn't just happen. Neither does submitting it or promoting it. Thrilling this process may be but there's a heck of a lot of work involved and the essential quality that most comes to mind when tackling that goal is perseverance. You have to knuckle down. Make it happen. Believe, pursue, push, and persevere.
"My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging." -- Hank Aaron
Wow. He could have been describing the life of a writer! The only thing to do is keep swinging. You want to hit the ball out of the park? There's only one way to make it happen. Keep swinging.
"All right Mister, let me tell you what winning means... you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else." --Vincent Lombardi
Um… what he said. *grin* There's something to be said for sheer grit. Pluck. Resolve. Stamina. I can almost hear the sneer of the imaginary boss as he gazes at our heroine with contempt.
"You think you GOT what it takes? Prove it. Write the damn novel. Write the stinking synopsis AND the query. You want it. You better be prepared to go out there and take it. Ain't NOBODY gonna just sneak in here and give it to you."
"Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th." -- Julie Andrews
Sometimes the hardest truths are best taken with a spoonful of sugar but let's get real… there's nothing sweet about rejection. Yet it happens to all of us. There's no such thing as universal acceptance. There will always be someone that doesn't like us or what we do. You think Nora Roberts has it all? Well, I bet she still deals with literary snobs that look down their nose because she writes… Romance… *gasp*
"The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't." -- Henry Ward Beecher
What do we want to embrace? Our strong will or our strong won't? Any fool can come up with a dozen reasons why something won't work. The successful one is the author who points out exactly how it CAN and WILL work. Let's make sure we spend more time each day reminding ourselves of what we CAN do.
"Destiny is not a matter of chance but of choice. Not something to wish for but to attain." -- William Jennings Bryan
This is a big one. We can wish all we want but if being a published and successful writer is a goal we must Make the Choice to Attain That Goal. We can't just be hanging out a mall, dangling our manuscript and waiting for someone to magically realize that clutched in our trembling hands is the next million-dollar bestseller. *chuckle* We have to focus, write, plan, promote, believe, query, plot, and persevere.
"Studies indicate that the one quality all successful people have is persistence." -- Joyce Brothers
There you have it. We make the choice. We decide. Do we want to be Successful, Published Writers with a Looooong Career? If so, no matter what stage of the process we're at we must persist. We must persevere.
Plot the novel. Write the pages. Edit the draft. Revise the damn edits. Piece together the synopsis. Sweat out the query. Start all over again. Even Sherryl Woods has to produce a synopsis for her upcoming novels. After a hundred books! And she will. Because, let me tell you, THAT author knows the meaning of perseverance.
"One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life." -- Edward B. Butler
Therein lies the secret. Hold onto the flame within our hearts. Fan it with whispers of hope. Nurture the fire with chunks of solid effort. Let the possibility of Being All We Hope For keep us warm and our outlook bright. We can do it. Now and for every year beyond. Why?
Because we are WRITERS, that's why!!
We're starting another lovely week. The beginning of March. Spring is struggling to emerge. Birds are chirping a happy song and flowers are just beginning to blossom. If the urge to play (or plant) comes upon you, don't worry. It's all part of the process. Let yourself refresh and rejuvenate, have some fun when you can. Then Get Back To Work. Even a page a day. If you're struggling, do some free-write about your character or plot. Whether you're editing, querying, writing fresh pages, plotting, submitting, or critiquing, You Are A Writer.
Believe it. Make it so...

Great blog this week, Chiron! Perfect timing for me, who has been on a week's vacation skiing, and working on my novel during my "non skiing" time. For the umpteenth time, I've read through it, and have about thirty or so pages to go until finish. Once all my edits are entered (and they're significant), I'll submit in earnest.
And, phew! Talk about work and persistence--I've been working on this dang thing for 3 1/2 years. But I've gotta get it right--no one will buy it if it isn't good.
Work, work, work. Persist, persist, persist!

Hey there, Rita,
Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds like you have fully embraced the quality of Perseverance... Good For YOU!
Thirty pages is sooooo close. Write On, woman! You keep plugging away and make sure you let me know when you get The Call. *smile*
Smiles to you,

Daily Currency Update
Pound Sterling
Yesterday the Pound weakened against peers including the US Dollar and Euro after a CBI report revealed an unexpected drop in UK retail sales, but the British currency was able to rebound this morning following the release of Nationwide House Price figures. The building society's report showed that UK home prices jumped by the most for 18 months. Although additional Pound movement may occur as the day progresses as a result of influential news from the US and Eurozone, investors will also be looking ahead to Friday and the publication of UK Consumer Confidence, Mortgage Approval and Net Consumer Credit figures.
US Dollar
The US Dollar began to ease away from its recent bullish trend yesterday, as the currency was sold off by investors in the aftermath of Tuesday's better-than-forecast US House Price and Consumer Confidence data. The 'Greenback' notably dipped against its Japanese counterpart as the Yen strengthened to 100.88 as a result of comments issued by the Governor of the Bank of Japan and a foreign bond sale. Today a stream of US economic data, including first quarter GDP, Initial Jobless Claims and Pending Home Sales, could initiate US Dollar movement. Further signs of economic improvement will add weight to the argument that the Federal Reserve will begin to taper QE, and the Dollar could climb.
The Euro
Yesterday news that joblessness in Germany grew by over four times the predicted amount in May, combined with the OECD's pessimistic economic outlook for the currency bloc, led economists to speculate on the likelihood of the European Central Bank instigating additional easing, and the Euro was able to post modest gains against the US Dollar as a result. Meanwhile, a separate report showed a larger-than-forecast rebound in German inflation. Of particular interest today are Eurozone Consumer/Economic/Services and Industrial Confidence figures. Industry experts are predicting that there will be improvement in all areas.
Australian Dollar
The Australian Dollar was able to recoup some of its recent losses during local trade as a report revealed a more significant than expected increase in Australian building approvals. Australian Private Sector Credit data, scheduled for release tomorrow at 02:30 GMT could inspire additional 'Aussie' movement before the weekend.
New Zealand Dollar
Although RBNZ Governor Graeme Wheeler once again spoke out about the overvalued New Zealand Dollar, asserting that the central bank was prepared to take steps to combat the issue, the 'Kiwi' posted a modest gain against its US counterpart as data showed a significant increase in home-building approvals. The South Pacific currency may experience further fluctuations if the next pieces of economic data for New Zealand, which include Business Confidence and Activity Outlook, deliver surprising results.
Canadian Dollar
After falling close to a year-low against its American counterpart earlier this week, the 'Loonie' was able to strengthen modestly during local trade as investors awaited the outcome of Mark Carney's last policy meeting as Governor of the Bank of Canada. As expected, Canadian policy makers held the benchmark rate at 1 per cent and hinted at the possibility of rates being raised at some unspecified point in the future. The 'Loonie' was little changed against the 'Greenback' following the announcement, but today's US news could spark fluctuations.

Not even Jennifer's children know where she hides her 'chikanda'. Why? The small, brownish orchid tubers are highly valued as a cultural delicacy among the Bemba people who live in the Luwingu district of northern Zambia. Overharvesting of 'chikanda' for sale is an important issue in East and southern Africa, but local women have a way to harvest it sustainably. Jennifer explains why 'chikanda' is so important in her culture.
Between 2013 and 2017, the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) conducted a research project called 'Nutrition and Trees in sub-Saharan Africa' in five sites across several countries, looking at the contribution that forests and trees in landscapes make to the diets of mothers and their young children. One of these sites was in Luwingu, in northern Zambia. At the end of the project, women from different villages came together to showcase their recipes of traditional foods in a food fair hosted by Zambia's Ministry of Agriculture and CIFOR.
For more information on the nutritional contribution of wild foods please see https://www.cifor.org/PID/5602 and https://www.cifor.org/PID/6261.
This project was funded with UK aid from the UK government. This research was supported by CGIAR Fund Donors (http://www.cgiar.org/about-us/our-funders/).

This redstone device allows you to create password locked doors, secret areas and hidden passages. The "password" in this case would be an item thrown into a hopper. If the right item is thrown into the hopper, then the password is accepted. If the wrong item is entered, then the system throws an error. This is much more sophisticated than the old "pressure plate locks" that were used in many minecraft adventure maps and really does hold the promise of creating some sophisticated quest systems in the future.

I love Autumn and it's such a wonderful time of year. All the leaves look lovely in their reds, yellows and oranges, so I decided to do a bit of leaf art. 🙂
We're lucky enough to have large hornbeam trees at the back of our garden, so I used leaves from the several leaf piles around our garden for some of the smaller critters who make their home in them to get creative and do this. 🙂
Art is everywhere in nature this was just some fun; have you been doing anything arty this autumn?
(sorry this post is so short, I'm just so busy with the garden at the moment (apart from this bit of fun :).

A few weeks ago I was grocery shopping. For years I have shopped at the same market, usually purchasing the same foods as last week and the week before that, and well, you know.
The produce department is my first stop. Unfortunately, standing 5′ with socks on, I have trouble reaching the plastic bags and ties so usually I will tear off ten plus ensuring I will have enough. Afterward, I will stand next to my cart and struggle to open the obstinate plastic bags. I open all the bags before I proceed because apparently, you need wet fingers to get a good grip for twisting and pulling on the plastic before it gives in.
The produce department is separated with fruits and vegetables laced with poison on one side and the organic produce and juices on the opposite side. Perhaps, because the grocery store is located in Merced, there are no plastic bags available on the organic side. On this particular trip, I did not tear off enough plastic bags to venture over to the organic side. I reached up high again and tore off two more bags, one was for mushrooms and the other was for mixed organic vegetables.
With one plastic bag in hand and the other hanging from the first, I headed back to the opposite side of the department. I was directly in front of the mushrooms when I attempted to open the top plastic bag. From somewhere a woman around my age and height came forward and stood right beside me yet she remained silent. I felt uncomfortable as she watched me so I spoke up and said, "these bags are really hard to open." The women took hold of the second plastic bag that was hanging and tore it from the one in my hand.
I stopped my attempt to watch how she quickly opened the plastic bag, as I was about to thank her … she put other items into the bag! Stupefied by her actions I stared in disbelief as she continued to fill my bag with her items. In shock I asked, "Seriously, are you taking my bag?" She spoke not a single utterance. I looked around to see if anyone noticed what just happened. "Okay," I said, "I get it, It's Merced."
She turned and walked away leaving me holding the unopened plastic bag. I started laughing, this was too much to believe even though it happened. I got the plastic bag opened and filled it with mushrooms then pushed the cart back to the opposite side, stretched up to reach another plastic bag and returned to the organic vegetables wondering if she was mentally ill.
Long ago, I developed an aversion to making lists. Not to forget something I need, I go up one aisle and down the next until I reach the end. At about the sixth aisle I saw the woman who stole my plastic bag. Only now she was speaking in English with a man about what brand of cereal he wanted. She saw me but looked right through me. As I slowly passed by shaking my head in disapproval, I deliberately turned to her and said, "Only In Merced."
I cannot place this incident into a category, but it sure makes me laugh only because I still cannot wrap my head around the mentality of people in Merced that many have this low standard that reasons it is okay to wear your pajamas to Wal-Mart or kick a stranger's dog because it barked at you or steal a shopper's bag just because.
There is one thing I am certain of, I really am out of my element.

Carl St. Clair, coming up on 25 seasons as music director of the Pacific Symphony, is headed to Costa Rica -- again.
St. Clair is taking a one-year appointment as music director of the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica starting in 2014. Over the last three years, he's guest-conducted the NSO three times. During his upcoming tenure there – which has him conducting six concerts as well as tours throughout the country -- he'll continue to man his post at the Pacific Symphony for the 2014-2015 season.
"I have enjoyed a growing relationship with the National Symphony. They are a wonderful orchestra, and I admire how passionately committed they are to their mission of engaging their nation in this great art form," St. Clair said in a statement. "Through my time with the organization, I hope to advance the development of young conductors through a new training program, guide and cultivate young or emerging Costa Rican composers and bring music to regions of the country that have not been exposed to orchestral music. In many ways, I feel that my experiences with Pacific Symphony mirror my aspirations for the National Symphony."
Many of those experiences are education-oriented. While at the Pacific Symphony, St. Clair started the Pacific Symphony Youth Ensembles, the OC Can You Play With Us, arts-X-press and Class Act.

While everyone is probably still playing hours and hours of Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, I'm apparently in the Battlefield Bad Company 2 closed multiplayer beta thanks to FilePlanet. It is arguably the first big shooter of 2010 coming out on February and this beta I think lasts till the end of December. There are other ways to acquire this beta from random giveaways of codes by Twitter to pre-ordering the game. At this point, this beta is exclusively on Playstation 3 with a PC one out in the coming weeks. If you prefer the Battlefield style over other shooters, its more of that which is a good thing.
There is one map playable in this beta is a harbor level that is huge as one mode is also playable, which is the standard attack/defend certain choke points for victory. Since the levels are in fact huge, on-foot movement may feel somewhat of a drag because you just want to go straight to the action. Luckily you can do that by spawning close to your squadmates if they are alive rather than spawning away from everything taking a while to get there. As with Battlefield games, there is a class system of different skills with the standard assault class, engineer, recon, and medic offering different weapons and secondary abilities for players to mess with. Along with the class system is the level up system racking up points by killing the opposition, assist kills, and completing objectives. As you level up you gain more weapons to use that are better than the standard equipment you are offered when you first start. It may be a cheap advantage for starting on the beta now rather than later as you may see players that are high leveled with more toys to fire upon. With the classes being offered, they definitely have their separate roles from the assault class being for mid to close range, engineer for taking out vehicles by a secondary rocket launcher, sniping for the recon class, and so on.
If you played a Battlefield game before especially the first Bad Company, you will feel right at home with this sequel as there are definitely improvements in place that hardcore players have noticed that I don't care about since I was like why not get this beta for kicks. The shooting feels fine and especially satisfying getting kills by an assault rifle from far distances that you don't expect it would kill them. The level in this beta is also good being mostly an open environment along with some buildings to destroy, which made Bad Company such a hit with everything being destructable and it remains true here. My minor gripe about the mode being played is maybe the attacker respawn count is too much, which starts at 100, but I don't mind if the defending team keeps shutting them out. Their respawn count does restart again back to 100 when they control both choke points at certain areas as all that hard work can lead to nothing.
In terms of the graphics, it is a beta even though Bad Company 2 looks and performs fine at a constant framerate. When getting hit, at least your screen is not filled with blood stains like Modern Warfare 2. As for the sound, it is also fine considering its in the beta stage as things could be worked out for the final game. Did I see players hopping to Bad Company 2 when it comes out in February? I think so if they are tired of Modern Warfare 2 in which they won't be, but they are two separate games as I consider MW2 more in your face while Battlefield requires more teamwork completing objectives and handling the vehicular combat. We shall see when Bad Company 2 releases in the coming months if people are indeed ready for another shooter to play.

Article Title
Evaluation of variance components from a group of experiments with multiple classifications
In conducting a replicated varietal yield trial, the experimenter usually is interested in obtaining the highest yielding variety or varieties from a group of varieties (or strains). A useful kind of information under such circumstances would be knowledge concerning the optimum allocation of replicates and varieties in any single experiment. Yates (23) and Perotti (12) have given a formula for determining the best combination of replicates and varieties in selecting the highest yielding variety or varieties from a simple randomized complete block design. For the more complex designs, formulas for determining the optimum allocation of varieties, replicates and locations (or years) would be useful.

text: A recent survey of college technology leaders found that there is growing support for open textbooks and open educational resources (OERs) in higher education. According to the Campus Computing Survey, 81 percent of respondents felt that open educational resources will "be an important source for instructional material in the next five years. And 38 percent report that their institutions encourage faculty members to use open-resource content, compared with 33 percent in 2014." These survey findings are reflected in the growing use of open educational resources and textbooks in BC, with the development of the BC Open Textbook Project, and at UBC, where a number of programs, such as Physics 100, have recently successfully included open textbooks and OERs as instructional resources.

Meet the Arado Ar-196, standard shipboard plane of the Kriegsmarine in WW2. As we can see, it was dispatched from a remarkably short catapult. Later on in the war it was necessarily land based due to absence of ships.
You didn't know Merc did a 1 litre C class? You know now.
Not many know of this, especially as the number built has halved over the years. One of the two was scrapped, thus making the remaining one rather more valuable.
But once everywhere. A Cortina 1.6L. The model is significant.
Not only
It's just as well that this intimidating character won Overall Champion in class, because I wouldn't like to meet him had he lost.
Oooh, another Alfa day!
Crankshaft position sensor, as so (old one shown):
MG Midget, as seen from a Micra.
Time for an Alfa! How exciting is this? Not very, truth be told.
In very slow stages.
Anything for today? I'm sure there must be something very small and usually Polish....
Citroen C15 van with temporary living accommodation glued on the back.
Vauxhall Cresta PC complete with fuel guzzling 3.3 engine. Yes, that's rust bubbling away just to the right of the LH light. I'm told that it's essentially a slightly smaller version of the Chevrolet Impala of the period and for most of its life was available with a two speed (yes, two! ) automatic box as an option.
I had successfully forgotten that this ever existed. Can't say as though I miss it.

Time for something small and Dutch.
Time for the Peugeot 506!

He typically takes some time to reflect and gather his thoughts, not wanting to disappoint with a bad idea

After gathering his thoughts, he advises....and all is well
|You alright Stitch...you are alllllright
He is repaid with a relaxing night and we all partake and make merry, under Stitch's watchful eye

(ANSA) - Rome, September 11 - The 40th anniversary of the
death of the great opera diva Maria Callas is approaching on
September 16, reminding fans of the singer known as "La Divina",
considered by many as the greatest singer of the 20th century.
Her fame derived not only from her voice, but also from her unique acting ability, which was likely attributed at least in part to her tormented and passionate life.
Her personal ups and downs made her a much-followed and beloved figure with the public, especially during the years of her complicated love story with the billionaire Aristotle Onassis, and through to her death, which was shrouded in the mystery of a possible suicide.
Born Cecila Sophia Anna Maria Kalogeropoulos in New York on December 2, 1923, she first gained fame in Greece in the 1940s, where her mother had taken her in 1937 after separating from her father and where Callas began studying music and singing.
"Her voice had no limits," said Italian director and opera producer Franco Zeffirelli, who worked with Callas on various occasions.
"She was at the same time a soprano, a mezzo-soprano, and a contralto, and she had the genius to turn this defect of hers into a virtue, able to continually astound surprisingly, as if she had come from another planet," he said.
Upon her return to New York in 1945, she paid for her studies by babysitting in the home of a friend of Toscanini, who cast her in Ponchielli's "La Gioconda" in 1947 at the Arena di Verona.
It was in Verona that she met industrialist Battista Meneghini, who became her first husband and manager as her career took off in Florence the year after with Bellini's "Norma", which she would perform more than 90 times, making the aria "Casta Diva" her signature.
She met Onassis in America and in 1959 he invited her and Meneghini on his yacht the "Christina" together with Winston Churchill, the Prince of Monaco and the Agnellis.
Callas separated from Meneghini less than one year later, embarking on a tormented 10-year affair with the Greek shipping magnate that ended when he left her for Jackie Kennedy.
Her last tour, in 1973, was deemed a failure, and she lived out the final years of her life in Paris, where she died in 1977, provoking rumours of suicide by drug overdose.
Maria Callas's voice still divine
The peaks, troughs, tormented love life of a great diva
(ANSA) - Rome, September 11 - The 40th anniversary of the
death of the great opera diva Maria Callas is approaching on
September 16, reminding fans of the singer known as "La Divina",

Some games make an attempt to stand out by doing one thing different from the rest, like having wings or dragons you can ride. Even if you've tried and quit them, that one thing sticks with you.
Other games may not have that one hook but can get by on a pre-existing fan base. Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Trek Online, and even sequels like Guild Wars 2 and EverQuest II can subsist mostly on players who mostly know what they're getting. That's their hook.
Then there's Drakensang Online, which was pitched to me as a continuation of the epic Drakensang series. Unfortunately, I'd never heard of Drakensang. Apparently, it's really huge in Germany. (Then again, so was David Hasselhoff… in 1989.) And, seeing how Bigpoint is based in Germany, it makes sense for them to try and leverage that fan base to create an MMO.
It's something we see a lot with Asian companies, taking some immensely popular property and introducing it to the West, only to see it fail to take hold outside of its native environment. It's a little odd to see the same thing happen with a European game and company, though.
Drakensang Online is your typical ARPG, with the usual fantasy elements, questing, and loot you expect from a Diablo-style game. I'm not the most experienced ARPG player, putting it lightly, but I seem to recall that it seemed a little less user-friendly than most that I've played. Maybe that was because I was playing during beta, maybe it's because translations weren't polished… I didn't hate the game, per se, but I just didn't find anything I liked.
And that's the risk you take whenever you produce a game that doesn't have a major hook, whether that be a unique style of gameplay or some popular license to draw people in. It's understandable why games do go out of their way to promote That One Thing they do differently, even if the rest of the game is drab – it's all they've got.
Bigpoint claims to have 17 million registered accounts for Drakensang Online, though I'd wager that the vast majority of those are in Europe, where the Drakensang property is much better known. Like most Bigpoint games, it's browser-based, pretty to look at, and unashamedly pay-to-win. If you really want to play a fantasy ARPG… well, go over here instead. Unless you're a big Drakensang fan from Germany, I guess.

I've been listening to people crying out for stronger gun laws. I want to know where that is going to get us? When we made laws against drugs, who followed the rules? When we made laws against murder and killing people, who listened? Who is it that follows the laws and regulations set forth? It isn't the criminal or the person with malice in mind, it's the LAW ABIDING citizen.
I am a mother, a wife, and someone who works in education. I believe that as a country we have a right to protection and to protect our family and to protect those around us. If you are at the grocery store and someone comes in wielding a gun and the man beside you takes out the threat as he's raising a gun to your head to kill you, are you still going to be against carrying?
We offer protection to our law makers, to banks, and jewelry stores. We offer protection to celebrities and others of high profile, yet we fail our students daily as we send them to school as sitting ducks to wait for something bad to happen. Have we really become so clueless as a society that we think a sign stating the school is a gun free zone is going to keep our children safe? Are we really stupid enough to think that un-arming law-abiding citizens is also going to un-arm the criminal?
Don't get me wrong, I do believe that as a society we have a problem. We have a human problem, not a gun problem. The laws we already have in place don't stop addicts from using. Speed limit signs don't stop drivers from speeding, DUIs don't stop all drink drivers. I believe that we need to protect our children and ourselves, just as we protect those of high profile. I believe that having several administrators, and even teachers or coaches, in our schools who are highly trained to handle guns would be a major deterrent for those who mean harm to our children. In the event that one of these terrorists enters our school meaning harm, they would could be neutralized before another tragedy like Columbine, Sandy Hook or the most recent in Florida has a chance to happen. Open your eyes people!
How did we get to the place where we blame everything and everyone but the perpetrator? How can we blame the NRA, the President of the United States or those who legally own and use guns, rather than the sick people who have caused the tragedies that we see? How can we be so naive to think that restricting those who don't cause harm, will restrict those who do? Protecting ourselves in this world we have all come to know isn't only logical, but it is our right. We have the right to be safe, our children have the right to go to school and receive an education, free of the fear of an intruder ending their lives as they sit there defenseless. We have a responsibility to our children to keep them safe. If we don't, who will? Who are we kidding? I know that as a parent, I would feel much better if I knew that my child had someone at school defending them. I don't care if it's an administrator, a teacher, a coach, a parent, or even one of the many retired military personnel that need a job. We need to stand up for our right, and our children's right, to safety and get someone in each school who is trained for situation exactly like what we've been seeing. I know I will get backlash for this, I don't care. What I do care about is keeping my children, your children, and the staff that willingly go in everyday and teach the future of our world safe. We have an obligation to every single one of them.

Jane's Winter Carousel by Marcel_Zizkat
Please look at a back blackground (press h) at maximised size (press m). Thank you very much. This is a repostprocessed image of my favorit New York shot I made this Winter. Sharpend for a1920pixel Monitor. About the Picture: New York knocked me down... got kind of a vey short abdominal influenza... was staying in the hotel for 1 day and sleeping, sleeping, sleeping.... it helped. :) After the snow today and some very nice snowscenes near the Times Square I decided to go to Brooklyn Bridge Park and around in order to catch a kind of special sunset in the snow... Was not exactly what I expected. This time i took my 17-70mm lens... Had lots of problems by getting the right hyperfocal distance... dont know why. Actually I think something is not working right. Have to find out exactly what. Dont have that problem with my lovely 10-20mm lens. :) So trying and trying. :) Feel free to comment. thx for watching. Hope you enjoy at least some of my pictures. via 500px

Absolute Magnitude by tpoulton001
Today's world is a need-it-right-now world. Emails, text messages, and smartphones have made us much more accessible and our level of accountability much higher. The expectations for immediate attention are overwhelming and can negatively impact our creativity and patience; learning to master this difficult skill can increase creativity as well as reduce stress and anxiety. Exercising patience can also improve productivity because it creates a better, clearer state of mind, for wiser decision making. Patience is becoming a lost art. We sometimes feel others becoming more impatient with us if we are not quick to answer or respond right away, combining immediacy and impatience to create an even bigger monster. However, most things worth having, take time to obtain – they take patience. Art cannot be rushed and patience cannot be lost if the picture is to be finished. After a treacherous hike along the Hooker Valley to the base of Mt Cook we had to endure icy pathways, suspension bridges with snow as high as the railing with 100 metre falls to our death, -15 temperatures and snow loaded mountains causing avalanches at every turn. Once arriving at our destination and with conditions so incredible, we knew we had come away with amazing shots. As the sun set and the temperature plummets, that same path awaits in treacherous darkness. The desire to get moving is so overwhelming, a safety-based decision diced with going, or staying longer to wait for the ultimate conditions. Confident in my abilities in the darkness, I waited just that little bit longer, not through bravery, just a desire to come away with something epic.

Profanities of Glee by m_jackisch
Ever take that first bite of a perfectly cooked steak and exclaim, 'OOOoooh, $#*%@ this is good!' This was kind of like that for me, only the aesthetic version. I know of people who don't see the appeal in hiking because of the lack of thrill factor, but I'd be lying if I said my heart wasn't pounding as I stood gaping in awe of this place. The challenge of getting here (I failed once) made it that much more rewarding. The whole time, based on the images I had seen prior, I expected the sun to make an appearance from the left side igniting the falls to the right. Being March, this happened instead. via 500px
