March 11, 2015
In the summer before I started 8th grade, there was a conflict in the Middle East. Tension was rising as people in the Gaza Strip were trying to save themselves from Israeli rocket attacks. They were aimed at Hamas, a Palestinian organization that had been firing missiles at Israel. I had heard a lot about the issue from my parents and from the news, and it troubled me that so many innocent lives were being lost and the two sides couldn't resolve their differences with peace.
One day, I was forced to accompany my mother on a trip to a department store. My mom was visibly frustrated when I refused to step out of the car, so she and my sister left me to wait. A few minutes later, my mom came back and convinced me to accompany her since she was going to take a while, as usual.
I absolutely resented that store, but I had no choice. In the store, I walked around aimlessly. After requesting my mother about 10 times to leave, I had finally given up. Suddenly, I heard something familiar. Was it really my favorite band as background music in this store? Suppressing my inner fangirl, I continued to roam around the store, now slightly at ease.
After a few minutes, I walked up to my mom, hoping we could finally leave. Around the same time, I saw two guys approaching us. They were young, probably in their early 20's. One of them was pointing his phone at us, probably making a video. As his companion laughed mockingly in the background, the guy with the cell phone started yelling out a string of curses at us in a very thick accent:
"Kill Palestine! Go to hell! F*** you! You deserve to die!"
Is that really what he was saying? I froze in place, silently watching them and noticed the piercings in their ears. What was wrong with these guys? They probably just wanted a reaction from us. They wanted us to lash out at them, so they could post it everywhere and there would be more "proof" that Muslims are vicious terrorists. We just stood there quietly, watching them. If I wasn't so shocked, and I had the courage, I might have started yelling back at him. My mom called over a store worker and said that he was harassing us, and the guys walked away.
I was dryly laughing at this point, but my younger sister started crying. Annoyed with her helplessness, I told her to toughen up. The store lady said she couldn't really do anything except kick the guys out of the store. She went up to them and started talking to them. All I learned was that these two men were very persistent. The guy took out his phone again and started making another video. He started screaming the same curses that he had before. He was not a very creative guy, I guess. I found the situation hilarious, so I started laughing again. At this point, the manager of the store came over and tried to get the idiots out of the store. After screaming a few more profanities at us, they finally left the store.
Later, I told my mom that she should have called the police, but she told me that this was nothing compared to what was happening on the other side of the world. This was the first time I had been directly 'targeted' because of my religion. The guys were ignorant for thinking that since my mom was wearing a hijab we were from Palestine. I had been laughing before, but it actually saddened me that those men really wanted people to die. I knew that people could be a bit cruel, but I had not actually experienced it with my own eyes, a cruelty directed toward me, until that moment.
A few days after the incident, I had an unusual dream. I was in a school of some sort, which I could tell by the chalkboards on the wall. The walls were cracked and the floors needed a really good cleaning. The weirdest part, however, was the fact that there were people screaming. The ground was shaking and pieces of the ceiling were falling down on us. The only people I saw were women and children. Most of them (not including babies and children) had scarves on their heads. All I saw was chaos. I noticed a woman in the corner and her head bowed down, reading a book and rocking back and forth on the floor. I went closer to see what she was reading, and saw that it was the Holy Qur'an, or the Holy Book of Islam. That was all I saw before I woke up.
I feel this dream was a sign that I needed to do something. And I wanted to. I felt an urge to help the innocent people being slain in the Middle East and anywhere else in the world where there was discord. But I'm just a kid. What on earth could I do that could possibly help? So I did the only thing I could do that I thought could help, if only a little: I prayed. I may never know if my prayers were ever heard, but I keep good faith and tell myself they were.
In early February 2015, three young Muslims from Chapel Hill, North Carolina were shot and killed by a 46-year-old man. The victims were two sisters, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, age 21, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, age 19, and the husband of Yusor, Deah Shaddy Barakat, age 23. I was not shocked at all. I was hurt, of course, but not surprised. I guess I had become numb to the whole aspect of "Islamophobia". I had already seen so much hate for Islam and so much hate from so-called Muslims that I was just in a sort of daze. I had become a part of daily life, unfortunately. Of course, I was angry. I was furious, but what could I do? Nothing.
Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha once said on a StoryCorps podcast, "Growing up in America has been such a blessing. Although in some ways I do stand out, such as the hijab I wear on my head, the head covering, there's still so many ways I feel so embedded in the fabric that is our culture." Hearing the delight in her voice, the pride and gratitude she had towards her country, made my heart ache. The irony. I feel just like she did, however. America is the only country where everyone can be free to practice what they want. However, nothing can be perfect, right? There will always be people that love to hate.
Religion has always been a huge aspect of my life. Through it, I find a sort of peace that I cannot find elsewhere. Reading the Holy Qur'an helps me understand life in a whole different way. I can search for answers and find them there.
Of course, when I hear news about extremist groups, such as ISIS, everywhere, it almost embarrasses me. Those terrorists' actions make me feel like I have to apologize for them, even though I know that they truly have nothing to do with the true message of Islam, which is peace and love. Islam has become so terribly misrepresented and misinterpreted, which is a shame. If only its name hadn't been used in such horrific ways, by suicide bombers and terrorists, then the world would know what the actual meaning of Islam is.
I have a four-year-old brother named Muhammad. He was named after the Holy Prophet of Islam himself. Of course, my brother doesn't know who that is yet. But when he is older, I hope he feels lucky to have such a meaningful name. He should feel pride for his religion and his identity, and not be ashamed of who he is. My brother attends preschool at a Jewish temple, which seems pretty unusual, but I think it is a good experience for him to learn about other religions, even at such a young age. Every Friday, he comes home singing Shabbat songs. During the holiday season, he brought a drawing of blue, glittery menorah home, along with a dreidel and chocolate coins. This exposure could make Muhammad more accepting of other people when he gets older, even if he doesn't have clear memories when he grows up.
Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore once said, "Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark." This quote reminds me of the first line of the United States national anthem, which goes, "Oh, say! Can you see by the dawn's early light."
In a way, faith is hope; a hope that light will come before you see it yourself. A country always has hope. The United States started out as 13 little colonies being ruled by some Brits, but they rose up and defeated them. That took a lot of hope and trust, just like in our national anthem. Just like the patriots during the civil war, and any other person who has some sort of faith in them, religious or not, the bird knows that the dawn is there, and that it is coming with light.

Testimony continues in civil case against LMPD
Testimony continues in civil case against LMPD
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Testimony continues in a civil case against the Louisville Metro Police Department.
Lieutenant Richard Pearson is suing LMPD.
The case involves a 1998 death in Spencer County.
A Louisville drug suspect confessed to the murder, but another suspect was already serving time.
Pearson alleges he was moved out of the narcotics unit in 2012 and almost fired.
The other officer who was part of the whistleblower lawsuit, Baron Morgan, settled with the city last week for $450,000.

We all needed an Inoue, especially for this frickin game series.
Yeah, this was one of the few games I really needed a Game Genie just to beat. I see he plays Milon's Secret Castle in one of his videos. For the life of me, I never figured that game out. I always got stuck in one of the first places you go and couldn't move onward.
Games of Milon's Secret Castle were split into three distinct phases.
Phase 1: Make it to the well with the correct items to complete it.
Phase 2: Actually complete the well.
Phase 3: Figure out what you need to do in the towers in order to beat the game.
I made it to phase 3. Sometimes.
I always found this the easiest of the NES Castlevania games.
I found Castlevania 2 to be way easier. I mean I wouldn't always get a "good" ending, but I could be guaranteed to be beat the game sooner or later, as long as I just kept slogging through it. The only boss in the whole game was Dracula.
The challenge to Castlevania 2 was figuring out the ridiculous adventure game bullshit, which was impossible without a guide.
Louis Armstrong
I loved this game, even with its horror inducing impossibility. I can't wait untilhe takes on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(the non arcade version).
Also, only trade Grant for the Mage(and onlyif your daring)
People that say Castlevania III is the best in the series have never played the bottom route.
Bloodlines, now and forever.
This is a good, and quite hard, game, but it's certainly not the best. I go for Bloodlines too as my favorite.
Void 71
Bloodlines was a great way to end the series. SOTN, although a breath of fresh air in the context of 1997 (first Casvtlevania in years, one of the few 2D games on PS1), was the beginning of the end of the precision platforming and difficulty of the earlier games. Turning Castlevania into a grindfest was a huge mistake.
Urrrrrrrrrrrrgh! That fucking bat! I remember there is the point where I quit.
Huh? This game was middle of the road as far as NES difficulty went. The original Castlevania was a lot harder.
How was the top path a shortcut? You had to play through an extra level (twice!) and then you still had to go through the owl level.
Louis Armstrong
The bottom with that fork was the short cut.
Wow, was this scripted to have him fail for more laughs? I know it's some middle aged guy being hilariously beaten by old games, but he's usually a lot better than this. Here he just keeps walking straight into enemies and never uses Alucard's bat to skip the problem areas even after he knows about it.
How can you beat Ninja Gaiden but not this? That's like beating Battle Toads but not a Mario game.
I'd argue that, unlike Ninja Gaiden, the biggest challenge in the NES Castlevanias is adapting to the clumsy, unintuitive control scheme. During the owl stage I was yelling THROW THE CROSS ARINO GOD DAMN but realized it took me awhile to reliably use subweapons while jumping.
You must own some hacked Castlevania cartridge that removed the holy water, because that's the only reason I can see for someone saying that CV1 is way harder than CV3.
You don't even need the cross. Just jump and whip the owls before the reach you. It's like he forgot the jump button existed the entire video and kept getting hit into pits by flying enemies. Since that's pretty much the entire Ninja Gaiden experience I was baffled how he managed to beat that one but not this.
It took most kids 15 minutes to realize the knife was the worst weapon and that Alucard/Grant were mostly useless for anything but bypassing problem areas. Arino never figured it out after 8 hours of Alucard's weakass fireballs failing to kill anything before it hit him.
It's a funny video but it almost seemed staged. Out of the tons of 8/16 bit era games these guys dig up, Castlevania 3 was the hardest? Your average Mario game is more difficult.
If they really want ratings they'll throw him to the mercy of Ghosts n Goblins or Battletoads.
Dr Dim
How are you supposed to play video games all night without weed? Unless that white thing on their heads is some kind of ingenious Japanese THC patch these guys are doing it all wrong.
I remember one time my brother was on acid, trying to play Super Mario 64, and I kept fucking with him and telling him he needed "The Rainbow Key". It's right there in the lava, man.
oh shit the boner lamp!
Caminante Nocturno
She blinked.
Masaka... masaka...
Jet Bin Fever
I watched the whole thing and felt really frustrated and angry along with him. Then they played a Capsule song right before the end, and I felt better.
Wow, I just watched a Youtube video on how to properly fight Dracula.
Apparently just using the subweapon on the second form is the 'wrong way'. Attacking it with the whip gradually destroys the faces on the thing, partially stunning it and causing less Dracula jizz to seep out as each face is destroyed. Attacking with the subweapon will not destroy the faces and thus slow down its attack.
Of course you have no way of knowing this and wonder why its beating the shit out of you 200 times in a row. Konami wanted people that did it the 'wrong way' to pay the price. Fucking Konami!

Study: What's the Value of an Elite CBB Player? At Duke, Over a Million Bucks Annually…Posted by rtmsf on September 12th, 2011
An AP report released on Monday provided an interesting insight into the actual fair market value of 'amateur' athletes at the Division I football and men's basketball level. The report, a joint venture between an advocacy group for athletes called the National College Players Association and Drexel University professor Ellen J. Staurowsky called "The Price of Poverty in Big Time College Sport," outlines a methodology that results in the assignation of six-figure values for each and every D-I athlete in the two major revenue sports. The average college football player, for example, is worth approximately $121,000 per year while the average men's hoops player is worth roughly $265,000 annually. At particularly high-exposure schools, those numbers look like chump change:
The report argues that playing big-time football and basketball is a full-time job, and an NCAA study released this year backs that up. It found that players in the Football Bowl Subdivision — the highest level — reported spending 43.3 hours per week during the season in athletic time commitment, while Division I men's basketball players reported 39 hours a week in season. The report said that players at the most powerful programs are worth far in excess of even the average athlete. The report estimates that Duke's basketball players are worth the most, at around $1 million each, while Texas' football players top that sport at $513,000 each.
Of course, such an accounting of fair market value in a professional-style format is anathema to the foundation of amateurism that the NCAA relies upon. The governing organization has long argued that it has no interest in paying players a dime above and beyond the value of attending college and its room/board incidentals, but the report argues that this stance leaves most players several thousand dollars short and living "below the [federal] poverty line at around 85 percent of schools." Not having enough money around to order a pizza, fill up the car, or worse, make an emergency trip home leaves student-athletes even more susceptible than they already are to taking illicit benefits from boosters. Even if you question how an athlete living large on a pretty campus with food, room, and board can be living below the poverty line makes sense, the logic behind pocket cash is clearly a solid contention.
Keep in mind, of course, that this report is unquestionably a partisan one. Its writers are quite clearly advocating for the student-athletes, and we're not versed well enough in econometrics to determine whether the report's numbers are within reason or considerably inflated especially when the full report hasn't been released yet. But what we can get on board with is this statement discussing the people getting rich off the system as it is currently set up:
The NCAA's definition of amateurism has proven to be priceless to obscenely paid coaches, athletics administrators, and colleges [. . .]
We need look no further than the billions of dollars schools are currently chasing in the conference realignment rat race to understand this. If, for example, Texas A&M joins the SEC and gets a bigger piece of the television pie down the road, its administrators get bigger contracts and the coaches stand to gain from the corresponding better facilities and exposure. What exactly do the players get out of the deal? A bigger weight room? Chick-fil-A rather than ARAMARK? More pairs of athletic socks? Although we're not sure where we ultimately settle on paying players, we're certain about one thing: with as much money flowing through the revenue sports, the players should never have to beg friends and family for the basic needs of a college kid like ordering a pizza, buying a t-shirt on occasion, or going to a movie with your buddies. Chris Webber had that part right nearly two decades ago — the part about needing to borrow money to buy his own jersey — long before conference television packages were worth astronomical figures and it came out that Webber himself was on the take to the tune of $260,000.
The full report releases on Tuesday at which time we will have a more thorough analysis including any potential suggestions the group may have for differing stipends/payments for student-athletes of different production levels and the effect that payments may have on scholarship opportunities in non-revenue-generating sports.

I have a funny sentence that usually has people sat on one side or another but don't know which is correct. The sentence is e.g.
"Each of the fifteen surveys given in Appendix A are to be undertaken over a period of seven days."
Because we use 'each', suggesting we are taking in the singular, should the 'are' be 'is' or stay as it is? Or is the subject still plural?
It would be better with 'all 15', but I'd use the singular with 'each'.

I took some sheets from a book, I used decoupage glue to glue them on to a shoe box.
Then I made a flower using a pattern from http://scrapbooking.about.com/, used photoshop to make three sizes of it before printing, then cut it in plain black paper, put some glitter on, shaped and fixed them to the box with a brad.
Got to love shoe boxes, can be altered easy and used both for storing at home or gift boxes. I will be using mine for storing half made crafting projects :)

from the Fortune 500 to innovative startupsexpect nothing but Savvy results. How are we different?
We've earned the trust of big brands like PBS and the NFLPA to startups like Sprynt and Pocket Prep. See our industry-leading work.
Savvy has crafted hundreds of app experiences and seen millions of downloads for our customers. Contact us today to get started.
We've spoken at Google and SXSW, been on Bloomberg Television, met with members of Congress, led sessions at industry insider conferences like 360iDev, helped our customers raise millions of investment dollars, wrote an O'Reilly mobile app development book that reached #1 on Amazon.com, and seen over twenty apps featured on the app stores, including an Editor's Choice from Apple. So there's that.
Savvy has been shipping industry-leading apps since 2009, making us one of the first companies (that's still around) to build apps. We're passionate, particular, and proven... it shows in our work.
We have worked with a few other mobile development companies in the past, but after working with Savvy Apps, we won't look anywhere else."Gustavo Tandeciarz Assistant Director at NFL Player's Association
We have the best app development team in the game with Savvy Apps. Hands down. They take our ideas and make them better. They are wonderful to work with."John Reardon CEO of musx
The app design is gorgeous and rock-solid technically. Everyone on their team is an expert. I highly recommend Savvy to anyone looking for top-tier app design and development."Jim Jarrett Senior Manager at Good Technology
If all you've ever done in the past is iOS development, looking to build an app on Android might make you feel like you're entering the Wild West.
Design thinking has come of age. People are now more aware of look and feel than ever. Great design is becoming an expectation, even for apps.
In this episode of The Savvy Apps Podcast, Ken speaks with Savvy's Creative Director Rob Soulé about the importance of branding for apps.
Product management is a discipline that continues to be hard to describe and define. That may even be truer for being a product manager of apps.

If taken at his word, Tam's constituents and the larger community could conclude that his exposure to the world beyond Hawaii and his knowledge and spirit of inquiry are limited, which is disturbing as well.
There is no question that Tam's public remarks were offensive. The City Council was right to censure him and show that the legislative body does not take insulting language lightly, whether it's intentional or not.
During a May 13 Zoning Committee hearing on the proposed University of Hawaii-West Oahu, Tam, who is chairman of the panel, warned developers to make sure they hired skilled, licensed workers, saying he'd been getting reports that contractors were "bringing in wetbacks" or "illegal aliens" from Mexico. "We don't want that type," he said.
He later apologized, but also asserted that Hawaii's multicultural society defused sensitivities about ethnic slurs. While true in some circumstances, the official government context in which Tam made his statements was not one of them.
Tam has faced sanctions on ethics violations when he served in the state Senate and in his current post. The state Ethics Commission cited him for misusing his legislative position and state resources for campaign purposes. In 2004, the city Ethics Commission found he violated ethics laws when he represented clients seeking permits from a city agency.
Tam, who is in his final term on the Council, plans to seek the lieutenant governor's office in 2010. Voters can then decide if he is worthy of another public office.

You'd be right in thinking US$17,100 is a lot of money to pay for a PlayStation 3 console, but after looking at the pictures from the eBay auction, you can see why a Metal Gear Solid (MGS) fan may be willing to bid that high.{ad}
The console in question has been heavily modified to sport the Metal Gear Solid 4 logo in stainless steel, as well as an image of Snake's head and the Fox Hound logo etched on the front and back of the casing. The whole unit is protected by nine coats of automotive DuPont Chroma Clear clearcoat and has a mirror finish. It doesn't stop there though.
The PS3 has fifteen white LEDs embedded that act as a back light for the unit so all the additional art lights up in the dark. The modifications aren't the only feature that make this unit desirable to MGS fans, as the seller also managed to get Hideo Kojima and Yumi Kikuchi (voice actor) to sign it when they visited New York for the MGS World Tour.
If the console wasn't enough, the PS3 controller has also been modified to look like a device featured in the game. The buttons are backlit red and the controller sports a custom PS Home button. The auction winner also got the following additional collector's items:
- GA-KO Alarm Clock
- Four bottle set of MGS 4 Revive 24 energy drinks (only available in Japan)
- MGS 4 t-shirt
- Custom embroidered Otacon Patch
- Custom Fox Hound Vinyl Decal
- Hardcover Limited Edition MGS 4 strategy guide
- MGS World Tour dog tags
- Custom hard case featuring Fox Hound logo design to put your PS3 in
eBay bidders on the item were also doing some good by bidding for the console. The seller had pledged 15% of the proceeds would be going to Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. With the auction over that means they are getting a check for US$2,665.

Graphical Comparisons Between Your Greek New Testament and the Papyri – The Oldest NT Manuscripts
Download this article as a PDF (266 KB)
Using the Compare Parallel Bible Versions feature in Logos Bible Software, you can now graphically compare any of the modern Greek New Testament editions with the oldest manuscripts of the Greek New Testament—the Papyri. In Figure 1 below, P75 is selected as the base version (leftmost column). NA27 and Scrivener's TR (1881) are being compared to P75.
The percentage of variance between the base version and a secondary version is displayed at the top of each version column. Text variations are highlighted by color. Pink text is text that appears in the base version but not in the secondary version(s). This means that any text that is highlighted in pink is not a part of that version. It has been inserted into the text at the location it would have appeared if it had been used. Blue text indicates text that appears in a secondary version(s) but is not found in the base version.
Fig. 1—Highlighting shows differences between electic Greek text and original papyrus.
Click to view a larger version.
The text of the papyri is that found in The Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts (ed. Philip W. Comfort and David P. Barrett; Tyndale House, 2nd ed. 2001), available for Logos Bible Software. The Logos edition provides transcriptions of sixty-nine of the earliest New Testament manuscripts up to and including P115, the most recently published early New Testament manuscript. All of the manuscripts are dated from the early second century to the beginning of the fourth (A.D. 100- 300).
This book presents for the first time a unified transcription of all portions of the manuscript, and for certain manuscripts, new portions are presented. This is especially true of P4/P64/P67, P30, P40, P45, P46, P49, and P66.
Here Comfort & Barrett provide a representative sample of the New Testament that was read by Christians in the earliest centuries of the church. Today's Greek New Testaments are critical editions produced by the eclectic method, and so do not completely replicate the evidence of any one manuscript.
The Logos edition of The Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts provides a number of key benefits not realized with the print edition. The entire text is searchable, so the user can look for inflected forms or combinations of inflected forms throughout. The transcription of each manuscript has also been placed in a separate resource, allowing for easier comparison of manuscripts and better results when searching or using Bible-based reports.
Due to licensing restrictions, the Logos edition does not include the sample photographs of papyri that appear in the print edition.

Haito Ceramic Tourmaline Straightener Purple 1 - HTL001-61278
This product has not been reviewed yet
Advanced PTFC Ceramic Heater.
The HAITO Styling Iron features the most technologically advanced ceramic heater, producing far-infrared heat, which enables the hair shaft to be straightened from the cortex outwards. This seals the cuticle flat, which is the most efficient and healthy way to style hair!
Automatic Temperature Control System.
This great feature results in an exceptional heat-recovery rate. As you run the straightener down a section of hair, heat is lost within the plates, however with the HAITO Styling Iron the required temperature is immediately restored to the plates, so the styling iron is as effective at the start of the styling process as it is at the end.
Variable temperature. 60 to 232°C.
With a super-fast heat-up time of less than 15 seconds.
Ceramic Tourmaline-coated plates.
Tourmaline is a naturally occurring mineral which, when heated, is an effective source of negative ions. Tourmaline adopts a negative charge when heated: a property that does not diminish or deteriorate with time, thus making it a far more reliable and durable source of ions than an electrical ion-generator.
Negative ion effect.
The negative ions generated on the surface of the plates directly infuse onto the surface of the hair, resulting in your hair becoming soft, shiny and silky to touch, as well as being moisturised and in a healthy condition.
Damp to Dry.
The HAITO Styling Iron increases moisture within the hair by forcing water molecules into the hair shaft. The cuticle then closes, preserving the moisture, and ensuring that the style is locked into place.

Scotland can become a STEM nation
Shirley-Anne Somerville, Minister for Further Education, Higher Education and Science, talks through the Scottish Government's STEM strategy
Shirley-Anne Somerville - credit Alistair Kerr/Holyrood
We recently published our Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) strategy for education and training.
We want to enable people to be inquiring, productive and innovative, both in order to grow STEM literacy in society and to drive inclusive economic growth.
The strategy has a clear focus and a strong purpose – to be a nation with ambition, Scotland must become a STEM nation.
- How severe is Scotland's teacher shortage?
- Scottish Government STEM education and training strategy aims to address teacher shortages
- Event: STEM Scotland 2018
Focusing on key themes of excellence, equity, inspiration and connection, it is designed to drive improvement in relation to STEM and ensure co-ordinated and focused action right across the education, training and skills landscape in Scotland.
First, we must build the capacity of the education and training system to deliver excellent STEM learning and to help achieve that we will, from August 2018, be making bursaries of £20,000 available for people giving up an existing career to undertake teacher training in STEM subjects where we currently have a shortage of students.
We will also create a new network of STEM specialist advisers to work with early years providers and schools to ensure the sharing of best practice is at the heart of excellence in STEM learning and teaching.
To support STEM learning in schools, we will continue to fund the Scottish Science Education Research Centre and our partnership with the Wood Foundation on the Raising Aspirations in Science Education programme, as well as investing in new resources for practitioners.
It is vital everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their STEM potential and contribute to Scotland's economic prosperity, so our second aim is to close equity gaps in participation and attainment in STEM.
We have committed to taking action to improve the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM learning, and to tackle unconscious bias and gender stereotyping that creates barriers to participation, access and attainment.
This must start from the earliest years onwards and be sustained throughout the education system. It will include action to tackle gender segregation and promote equality of opportunity in the early years, apprenticeships, college and university courses.
We will also work closely with equalities experts in the third sector to create a dedicated team to embed practice from the successful Institute of Physics' gender balance project across all schools by 2022.
The third strand of our strategy is about the importance of inspiring children, young people and adults to study STEM and continue their studies to obtain more specialist skills.
I recently visited the Jimmy Dunnachie Family Learning Centre in Glasgow which has established a strong STEM pre-school curriculum and the children there were utterly engaged and enthused in STEM.
That early years work is key to setting children of all ages – both boys and girls – from a range of backgrounds on a journey of wonder, for them to learn to question, to experiment, to problem solve and to always ask 'why?' and 'what's next?'
The current UK STEM Ambassador programme provides a strong network of support for education and, to complement that, we will establish a new Young STEM Leaders programme to stimulate the development of peer mentoring in STEM.
This year, we are providing £2.625m to support the work of Scotland's four science centres, as well as £250,000 for science festivals across Scotland. We are the only government in the UK to provide annual support to science centres and festivals and it is vitally important we do so as they have a key role to play not only in inspiring STEM in children, young people and adults, but also in helping to tackle inequity.
We have therefore targeted our funding to enable the centres and science festivals to further encourage girls in particular and, more generally, people from deprived, rural and remote communities to engage in informal STEM learning and experiences.
The fourth aim of our strategy seeks to connect the STEM education and training offer with labour market need, both now and in the future.
To increase collaboration and connection, we will create a new STEM hub network to strengthen regional-level collaboration between partners, including universities, science centres and employers.
This network will initially focus on building partnerships between secondary schools and colleges but will broaden out to include primary and early learning settings.
We will build on the good work our colleges and universities are already doing by increasing the number of student placements with employers in STEM curriculum areas; increasing the number of graduate and post-qualification internships offered with STEM employers; and ensuring students can access the best advice and guidance about STEM careers.
I am confident that through the actions set out in this strategy we can unlock the opportunities for all of Scotland to thrive and become a STEM nation.

ARBITER leaves some lasting marks on Merck
The nature and amount of press coverage is often a key factor in assessing how clinical trial results impact a product's prescription trends. In the case of the ARBITER 6-HALTS trial, Merck's cholesterol franchise has benefited from largely balanced coverage, somewhat limiting damage to lipid drugs Zetia and Vytorin.
The study showed that Abbott Labs' Niaspan, an extended-release niacin, bested ezetimibe—an ingredient in Merck's cholesterol-lowering drugs Zetia and Vytorin—on an ultrasound measurement of artery wall thickening, which can later lead to heart attacks.
An article in The New England Journal of Medicine criticized Zetia and said its use should be restricted. Two NEJM editorials brought balance to the discussion, and here was the first coup for Merck: neither of the editorials was written by the Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Steve Nissen, which had been feared.
The second: even Zetia's long-standing critics seemed to take a subdued approach when discussing the data. According to Sanford Bernstein analyst Tim Anderson, in press coverage, several experts supported Zetia, saying the difference between the two products may have been exaggerated.
Prescription trends show the franchise went hardly unscathed, though. For the week ending Friday, Nov. 20—after the American Heart Association (AHA) and NEJM released results of the study on Saturday, Nov. 14—patients new to Vytorin filled 5,092 prescriptions for the cholesterol therapy and 6,628 for Zetia, marking a decrease of 20% and 26%, respectively, from the week ending Nov. 13, according to SDI.
As of the week ending Dec. 11, NRx levels for Vytorin and Zetia were down 25% and 27%, respectively, compared to the week before the ARBITER data release. In contrast, new prescriptions for Niaspan (including those for new patients, switches and add-ons) rose 46% the week following the AHA reveal and, as of the week ending Dec. 11, were up 31%.
Despite the declines, Zetia/Vytorin are still likely to sell around $3.5 billion worldwide in 2010 (a 12% year-on-year decrease), according to Anderson. And their financial contribution to Merck will continued to diminish, as it has since early 2008, when findings from the ENHANCE trial were made public.
Since then Zetia prescriptions in the US are down by about 30% and Vytorin—a combination of Zetia and Merck's Zocor—prescriptions are down by about 45%, according to Bernstein figures. Internationally, the drugs have still been able to grow albeit at a moderating rate. Because of this, any incremental damage from other trials like ARBITER 6 was expected to be limited.
Questions about the drugs are likely to continue. Tuesday the FDA said it finished its analysis of the 2008 SEAS trial showing a possible cancer link with Vytorin and that it is unlikely that Vytorin or Zetia increase the risk of cancer or cancer-related death. But the agency said an association "cannot be definitively ruled out."
Two other trials are ongoing: IMPROVE-IT, a large outcomes trial expected to provide more definitive answers about the utility of Zetia/Vytorin in 2012, and SHARP, expected to be completed in 2010.

What should I be practicing as a beginner?
Hi guys, I consider myself a beginner to visual art even though I've been drawing casually all my life, I'm now trying to take art seriously. I eventually want to pursue a career in 2-D animation, and I'm currently an 18 year old freshman in college getting a BA in Media Arts.
Background info aside, I want to consider this the fresh start of my artistic journey and I want to start from the absolute basics so that my foundation will be set well, and I was wondering if anyone could let me know where I should start. I've been looking around on the forums for a few days now and seen some great advice, but nothing that I've implemented yet.
So in short, I'd like if someone could help me set goals to work towards to improve as an artist, and later as an animator.
Also I own a Wacom Bamboo tablet, so I have access to digital mediums.

Hello, you are asking a difficult and situation specific question. I can´t give you a full plan ahead for your career as an artist, what I can tell you is one of the things that helps me the most to grow as an artist. Start finding projects to collaborate, or personal projects to work on. Really push yourself choosing projects that you don´t have the skills to do, this way you will learn and find innovative solutions. And keep a unbreakable discipline.
I hope it goes well...

Make sure you read the sticky threads at the top of this subforum, because they contain many excellent advice and guidance on effective artistic development. There are even specific posts that outline learning/practicing plans/strategies that are very useful and will help you avoid wasting time on ineffective learning/growing approaches.

One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is trying to do too much, or overly complicated subject matter. Its much better to do something simple really well, than something overly ambitious that ends up mediocre.

Master the fundamentals.
Similar to what Clappy3D said:*Its much better to do something simple really well, than something overly ambitious that ends up mediocre.
I would add to that. Find something you like to draw. It could be figure drawing, vehicle design, environments, anything.
Pick the subject, then work from the ground up. Whether it's 2D or 3D, Composition, Lighting, Perspective are all fundamentals. Use a subject you enjoy as the vehicle to understanding these fundamentals and build your knowledge base and skillset.
I like to find a step by step guide or course. There are heaps on line, some free, some paid. It means you won't overwhelm yourself with complexities. Start with the basics, practice, practice, practice, then move on to the next level.
Hope that helps.

Let me put this another way. Some people are born amazing singers. Truly gifted at what they do. Then they pick up a guitar or sit down to write music and, well, they suck. They might be able to get better with practice, but their playing and writing will never even come close to that innate singing ability.
Some of history's greatest artists were good at some forms of art, but not others. More over, some of the CG's best character artists are simply terrible when handed a pencil or a paintbrush. Conversely, some of the most amazing concept artists will look at ZBrush with utter bewilderment and, even with practice, might only get "just good" instead of great. It just happens.
There's an almost unreasonable expectation in the CG industry, specifically those looking to get into it. Even as a specialist, your peers will expect you to have a certain set of skills, like drawing, that you simply don't have and may never will - even with loads of practice.
When it comes down to it, unless you're specifically going out to do concept art or some other form of 2D, drawing isn't as necessary as some might think. You can be perfectly amazing in 3D without being as good in 2D.
Ideally, you should be able to at least get a rudimentary concept across on paper before you sculpt or model, but nobody's expecting you to be van Gogh. If you can't even convey an idea then that might be an issue. Drawing like a 5th grader? Not as much of a deal breaker as one might suppose.
Some people are amazing across the board. Great sculptors. Great painters. Great sketch artists. Just... great. Most artists aren't like that. though... not even with years of practice.
With that said, going in, as a beginner, you need to understand where your natural talents lie. Explore for a little bit. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Practice as much as you can. Ultimately, play to your strengths. Work on, but acknowledge your weaknesses. ALWAYS try to be the best at what do well. Employers would rather have somebody who's amazing at one thing over somebody who's just mediocre at everything.

Hey Bob8791,
You should get a library card and see if your library has access to Lynda.com tutorials.
I've been able to access a ton of tutorials from everything from 2D animation design to Houdini water simulation or 3D modeling & also designing using editors like Unreal or Unity.
I was just looking at a tutorial by a directing animator from Pixar talking about Animation Foundations: Gesture. This is very interesting to watch and doesn't require exceptional drawing ability.
There is other tutorials about how to animate a 4 legged creature or animating aliens or monsters. Tutorials for Animate CC, Toon Boom, After Effects & more.
There is also Animation Foundations: Drawing Cartoon Characters and Flash hand drawn animation basics.
Seems like digital is the way to go a lot more these days with 2D animation programs. However if you want to fool around with creating your own animations you can go to an art store and pick up a piece of plexiglass for 6 bucks & an animation bar with animation paper punched for the bar. You can then test out sketching animations with say 5 frames at a time.
Practice flipping the pages with your 4 fingers inbetween each page in order to see the animation. If you like what you created then you can take pictures of it then use it in a 2D animation program.
I had a lot of fun going to a Draw by Night group through Meetup.com. It was a good way to meet other artists and get inspired by what you can create. Basically you sit at a table with a bunch of artists and the tables are covered in paper then everyone draws whatever they want for an hour or two.
3dsMax tutorials are also on Lynda & you might find it fun creating simple objects & learning a little bit about 3D animation.
You will have to look around and see which programs you can get......like student versions may be free etc.
It's not 2D animation (more VFX for film) but Houdini is an interesting program where you can create some cool effects for smoke, water, exploding debris. You can get the Non-commercial program for free. This program can be very complex & you might need a pretty powerful computer. But I'm sure there's some basic tutorials where you can create some cool effects.
The last thing I'd suggest is looking up some tutorials and playing around with Scattering Brushes in Photoshop. You can create a single blade of grass then make a scattering brush so then you just do one stroke and you have a whole bunch of randomly placed grass with color variation and different angles. Playing with initial direction and spacing you can have a lot of fun with a wacom tablet.
Send me a message if you want to know more about Photoshop I can show you some of my creations and explain more about using scattering brushes.
I found Will Terrell very inspiring with his videos where he draws characters and talks about all sorts of things while he does it.
I love using the toned grey sketchbooks and using pantone markers. You can use a white prismacolor pencil for highlights.
Also www.jetpens.com has some really fun brush pens where you can create nice line quality where the lines taper thick and thin.
Drawing Tutorials Online is another great resource. You can find a lot of You Tube videos where the instructor flips through the students sketch books and it's very inspiring to see what they create.
If you set small goals then as you start creating more cool drawings you can get inspired to spend more time drawing. Start with 15 mins or 30 mins a day then see if you can do an hour or 2 sometimes. I really like the technique of using a light grey pantone marker to make a random shape and then use a marker to try and make up a character based on what you see.
Alchemy is a free program which also accentuates the technique of using random shapes to create designs that you may not have thought of doing.
You can turn on the mirror function and try drawing some faces its super cool!

Knowing the basics. Without a foundation, your falling down a hill. Build your base, and start building.

In a studio we'd start you on basic tasks. When you'd master that, we'd move you up, and up, equal to your passion and drive until you become lead, and management. Such is the way of life. It always starts with mastering the small stuff, and build on that to work on stuff more complicated. To do that, you do it every day. Over and over and over, for months straight, until it's muscle memory. You don't even have to think about it anymore, it just happens. Finding such a position is easier in a city with studios that looking for interns / artists. Find that job early in your life, while you're in school, and put everything into it. Make sure that job / that team is training you, connecting with you, mentoring you. If they aren't, move on, don't waist your time with them.

All anabolic steroids suppress natural testosterone production. However, the rate of suppression often varies greatly from one steroid to the next. Although it does suppress natural testosterone production, Primobolan's rate of suppression is much less dramatic than many anabolic steroids. In a therapeutic plan, it is actually possible to keep the total rate of suppression below 50%. This could be low enough to keep some from falling into a low level condition despite the reduction. However, performance level doses will be another story. Dramatic suppression is all but assured with such doses making the inclusion of exogenous testosterone extremely important. Men who do not include exogenous testosterone will more than likely fall into a low testosterone condition. Not only does this carry numerous possible bothersome symptoms, it is extremely unhealthy. Women, despite needing testosterone will not have a need for exogenous therapy when using Primobolan.
Once the use of Primo and all anabolic steroids has come to an end, natural testosterone production will begin again. You will find this is one of the easiest steroids to recover from when it comes to testosterone production. Most men are encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan once use is discontinued. This will speed the recovery process up. It will, however, not return you to normal on its own. This will still take time. However, a PCT plan will ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise. Those who do not implement a PCT plan, while they may recover it will take far longer. There's really no reason to forgo the PCT process if you're going to be off cycle for any decent length of time.
An important note on natural testosterone recovery. Natural recovery assumes no prior low testosterone condition existed. It also assumes severe damage was not done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) through improper steroidal supplementation practices.
As a bulking agent, the effects of Masteron will prove to be rather weak. It is possible the hormone could provide gains in mass similar to Primobolan (which wouldn't be that strong either) if the total dose was sufficiently high. However, the relative gain in size will be moderate with many anabolic steroids being far more suited for this period of steroidal supplementation. Masteron does not aromatize and is not estrogenic; in fact, it shows anti-estrogenic traits in the body and binds to aromatase instead of other substrates. This is why it has been effective in the treatment of breast cancer.

Administrators easily overlook the benefits of application launching and embedding. ALE lets you run Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition (with the Citrix MetaFrame add-on) or Citrix WinFrame 1.7 applications from an Independent Computing Architecture (ICA)-enabled Web browser via the Internet or corporate intranets. ALE has potential as a viable alternative to costly Java rewrites of Web-bound Windows applications, so the more IS directors learn about ALE, the more they'll sing its praises. In this article, we'll help you understand ALE, guide you through its implementation, and offer solutions to some limitations inherent in the current ICA Web clients. For more information about how you can use ALE, see the sidebar "Put ALE to Work," page 94.
Several ICA Web clients are available for Windows, UNIX, Macintosh, and Java platforms. This article will focus on the most common Windows-based ICA Web clients, Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later with the WinFrame Web Client plugin and Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 3.0, which uses an ActiveX control to enable ALE. For more information about how to install the ICA Web client, see the sidebar "Installing the ICA Web Client," page 95. We will mention the ICA Java client's main features and limitations, but exploring the many Java client implementations is beyond the scope of this article. ALE uses a simple process to activate an ICA connection to an application, whether the browser that you use to request the application is IE, Navigator, or a Java applet running from a Web browser that isn't ICA-compliant. When a user clicks an ALE hyperlink on a Web page that references an ICA application, the ICA file in turn directs the user request to a designated Terminal Server (with MetaFrame) system or WinFrame server for execution. (We provide more information about ICA applications and files later.)
WinFrame and MetaFrame provide a Win32 ICA client, which uses the WinFrame Win32 Client Remote Application Manager utility. The ICA Web client provides a subset of the Win32 ICA client capabilities. This article will also address the additional features that the Win32 ICA client offers that the ICA Web client doesn't support.
Launching and Embedding Applications
The thin-client application server can run the ICA application in two ways: as a launched application or as an embedded application. To decide between launching and embedding your application, consider the behavior of each option. A launched application produces a browser-independent window and appears to run on the client's local desktop. You can close the browser or browse another site while running the application without affecting the running Web-enabled application. You use the application's ICA file to control features of the launched application window such as screen size, color density, and seamless windows.
An embedded application runs in the browser's window, and the application depends on the Web browser's presence. An embedded application closes with the browser. Loading another Web page closes both a user's connection to the ICA server and the embedded application. When users scroll the page up or down on a browser Web page, the embedded application window will scroll with the page.
The ICA File
The ICA file is a text file that includes the parameters necessary for defining an ICA connection to an application server. Listing 1 shows sample ICA code. After you understand the ICA file format, you can create ICA files using any text editor. However, tools that facilitate the creation of ICA files come with MetaFrame and WinFrame.
The Application Configuration utility (a standard utility on WinFrame and MetaFrame servers) includes a Write ICA File option. After selecting the application you want to publish using ALE, you choose the Write ICA File option on the Application drop-down menu to define four ALE parameters: window size (an absolute size in pixels or a percentage of the client display resolution), color density (16 or 256 colors), encryption level (the basic encryption level is sufficient for intranet applications, but we recommend a higher level for Internet access), and the directory in which ALE writes the ICA file. For more information about how to use the Application Configuration utility, see the sidebar "Application Configuration, Step by Step," page 98. After you create an ICA file, you must load the file on your Web server to make it available for Web client downloads.
Citrix's ICA File Editor offers a GUI for creating and editing ICA files. You can install this 32-bit utility on any Windows 95 or NT system from disks you create by using Client Disk Creator, which you find under the MetaFrame Tools menu of a Terminal Server (with MetaFrame) system or the Administrative Tools menu of a WinFrame 1.7 server.
Win32 ICA Clients
Although the Application Configuration utility writes a functional ICA file for Web clients, Citrix's Win32 ICA client offers additional features. ICA Web clients don't support seamless windows for embedded applications, or client LPT-port and COM-port mapping. However, you can use the ICA file format to exploit these features on Win32 ICA clients.
LPT-port and COM-port mapping, which aren't available to ICA Web clients, are inherent in the Win32 ICA client and available to users running a session via a Win32 client. Win32 ICA clients can also run seamless windows for launched applications. Listing 2 shows code that will launch the Calculator application in a seamless window. The TWIMode=On command line and the ScreenPercent=100 setting tell the ICA file to launch a published application in a seamless window. (Transparent Windows Interface—TWI—was the original name of the seamless windows interface technology.)
Despite the Win32 ICA client's LPT-port and COM-port mapping and seamless window functionality, using an ICA file to launch ICA connections on the Win32 client has some limitations. Advanced client features such as sound support, persistent bitmap caching, and keyboard and mouse event queuing aren't available through an ICA file.
Web Server Requirements
You can configure any server that supports application MIME types to accept ICA requests. Just register ICA as an application MIME type, and your Web server will use the ICA file to connect inquiring browsers to the application server. Figure 1, page 99, illustrates the relationship between the ALE components. The Web server contains the HTML file with the hyperlink that references the ICA file. Although you can use the same machine as the Web server and the application server, we recommend that you use separate machines for tighter security and better performance.
The Web Clients
The Web server automatically downloads and installs Microsoft's ActiveX control when an IE 3.0 or later browser accesses an ALE hyperlink on a Web page. You need to include code in the HTML page to perform this initial ActiveX control download.
The WinFrame Web Client for Navigator plugin doesn't automatically download or install, so users must download and install the plugin before accessing ICA hyperlinks on a Web page. You need to include downloading and installation instructions, and a link to the plugin on your page to notify Navigator users of the plugin's necessity and to help them obtain it.
You can use a Java applet to give users access to your ICA applications if your environment lacks support for non-Windows Web clients or prevents the spontaneous ActiveX download necessary for IE to run an ALE-enabled application. The Java client supports only embedded applications. The Java applet initializes when a browser accesses an ALE hyperlink in a Web page and the Web server downloads the ICA file to the user's browser. The Java applet performs the same function as the Windows-based ICA client's executable file (wficax.exe).
Implementing the Java Web client is more involved than using IE or Navigator and is outside the scope of this article. Because of Java's network security restrictions, you need to place Web server software on the application server to provide the Java client to users. The Java Web client has many configurable parameters and options, so we suggest you reference the MetaFrame Administration Guide or the Citrix ICA Client Users Guide before configuring a Java Web client.
The HTML File
The complexity of the HTML file that hosts an ALE hyperlink depends on the amount of intelligence you build into the code. Fortunately, the Application Configuration utility simplifies HTML file creation for MetaFrame (but not for WinFrame, which relies on you to write your own HTML file), just as the utility writes ICA files. You can use the Write HTML File option under the Application drop-down menu and select the appropriate options to prepare an HTML page for the browser to access the HTML file's ICA link and react accordingly. The Application Configuration utility lets you choose embedded or launched application support; IE, Navigator, or Java applet clients; embedded window size (the default size is 640 x 480); verbose or terse HTML code; and filename and file directory.
For each ALE application, you need to create an ICA file and an HTML document that contains the ALE hyperlink. You need to store both files in the same directory on the Web server. The HTML file must use the <A HREF> tag to reference the ICA file, just as the HTML page would reference any other object. Listing 3 is an example of HTML code with an embedded hyperlink that references an ICA file. For ALE, the <A HREF> tag is the code's most important section. The <A HREF> tag places the ICA hyperlink on the page and references the correct ICA file and optional .gif. For more information about how to create ICA and HTML files using the Application Configuration utility, see the sidebar "Creating ICA and HTML Files," page 100.
The Application Server
The final component in this Web-publication strategy is the ICA application server, either a Terminal Server system (with MetaFrame) or a WinFrame system. Until February 1999, Terminal Server licensing limited Internet users from accessing MetaFrame applications because Terminal Server required each user to have an NT Workstation 4.0 license and an NT Client Access License (CAL). The licensing did not preclude you from using Terminal Server-based ALE on your corporate intranet or on the Internet if you used passwords to limit usage to specific user accounts. Potential Terminal Server customers who wanted to use ALE over the public Internet had to use WinFrame, which supports licensing of concurrent users. (WinFrame is based on NT 3.51.)
Early this year, Microsoft made significant changes to Terminal Server licensing and created the Terminal Server CAL, which gives users a less expensive alternative to the NT Workstation CAL requirement. (A Terminal Server CAL costs less than half the price of an NT Workstation 4.0 license.) In addition, Microsoft created the Internet Connector (IC) for Terminal Server, which licenses as many as 200 concurrent anonymous Internet users and eliminates the NT Workstation CAL requirement altogether. The Terminal Server CAL and IC licenses are not interchangeable because the IC supports only anonymous users and eliminates an important layer of control and security.
An application server must meet a few requirements to support numerous anonymous connections or specific user accounts. These requirements vary depending on which platform you implement. The documentation that accompanies each product covers the configuration steps you must take to meet these prerequisites. The Terminal Server and MetaFrame combination requires you to purchase both pieces of software. To use the solution for local LAN applications, you need NT Workstation licenses or Terminal Server CALs for all your clients and NT CALs for all users with server access. To use the solution over the Internet, you need an IC license for every 200 anonymous users that you expect to run the application concurrently.
The WinFrame solution requires that you purchase the WinFrame OS and WinFrame licenses for the number of connections you need. You also need to configure TCP/IP WinStations, anonymous or explicit user accounts equal to the number of licenses available, and adequate licenses for the application you publish.
Application Launch
When you've properly configured your environment to support ALE, you can give users access to any application over the Internet or intranet without installing the application on your desktops or rewriting it in Java. Beyond the cost savings, an advantage to this approach is the freedom to modify the Internet or intranet landscape of your enterprise without facing major development or deployment obstacles. ALE lets an organization respond with agility to the changing needs of its users and the marketplace it serves.

Scarcity Maximizer Review
4 times more conversion rate with ease!
Hey there! We're hitting the board again with my Scarcity Maximizer Review. Today we are going to get full details about the new phenomenal conversion booster that every product seller would love.
With this tool, your sales campaigns will get much higher sales and profit with just a few simple actions. Now, let's take a close look at my Scarcity Maximizer review and see what it has inside!
All product creators and online marketers know that people love discount and sales. Who don't like a product with a lower price than its real value? But people also do not take the purchasing action right away if they know that there are still a lot of chances for them to buy.
For example, you go to the supermarket and see a shirt on discount at a good bargain price. Would you take it immediately if you see there're still 100 shirts like that in stock? The bigger chance is you will save it for later and go check some other shirts.
The same thing goes to your product. If the customers feel that they still have plenty of chance to take the deal, they will go find a better deal. When they find another, your deal will be forgotten.
Scarcity Maximizer was created to make use of that. This app will help you create a perfect timer on your website to limit the chance for your customers. This way, they will feel much more insecure and need to take the offer instantly.
