Frequently Asked Questions
For quick reference, here are some of our most commonly asked questions about school group visits to The Wild Center. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of everything you need to know to plan a trip, and you should consult our field trip planning resources above to fully prepare for your visit.
Do you offer special rates for homeschooled students?
Homeschooling groups of 10 or more will receive the same admission and program rates as other school groups with pre-registration. We highly recommend pre-registering prior to your arrival.
How many chaperones do we need?
We ask that you provide one adult per ten students. Breaking up into small chaperoned groups is the easiest way to tour the museum.
How long does it take to get to The Wild Center?
Google is great, but unfortunately does not take into account riding on a bus. To get to us from any region, you will need to travel on numerous rural, winding roads. Please estimate your travel time to take at least 30 minutes longer than any estimate from Google or a GPS device. A later arrival may negatively impact your itinerary for the day.
What if my group arrives late?
- Self-guided Admission: An email or phone call notifying your Wild Center staff contact would be appreciated. We want to meet and welcome each group to help assist with getting oriented to the museum and campus. When you get to admissions, please notify the Admissions Team what school you are from and they will locate your staff contact to come up and greet you.
- Admission and Program: Please understand that late arrivals may change the times and/or availability of your scheduled program(s). We will try to accommodate you the best we can based on our available staff. A change in program time or type of program may be necessary to accommodate the late arrival. An email or phone call notifying your Wild Center staff contact would also be appreciated.
Is Wild Walk going to be open when we visit?
Wild Walk is open for school groups from May 1st through October 31st. Even when the museum is closed during the week during shoulder season periods, Wild Walk will be available to visiting school groups. Wild Walk availability is always subject to weather conditions. In the case of inclement weather, please be advised that Wild Walk may need to be closed.
Do you make our itinerary or do we?
- Self-guided Admission: Your staff contact will be happy to assist you with any questions concerning how best to experience and navigate The Wild Center's campus. However, our staff members have limited resources available to help each individual group plan their day. Keep in mind that travel time to and from Wild Walk and the museum building takes about 15 minutes.
- Admission and Program: Program times will be provided to you at least two weeks prior to your visit. The rest of your time at the museum is up to you and your chaperones. Keep in mind that travel time to and from Wild Walk and the museum building takes about 15 minutes.
I scheduled a program, what time will it be?
All program times will be communicated to you by The Wild Center staff at least two weeks before your visit. Wild Center staff will be in contact if anything changes during that two-week period so that you can amend your itinerary and communicate any changes to your chaperones.
Can we bring our own lunch?
We welcome schools to have students bring their own lunch. Dining space is limited and on busy days, your group may need to share space with other visiting groups. For large groups (50+ individuals), we recommend staggering your lunch time by class or smaller groups to help limit congestion in our dining areas. On rare occasions, Wild Center staff will be in contact with the group leader concerning a designated lunch time and space due to busy field trip days.
Is there a space for us to eat?
Our Esplanade Tent, Pines Play Area or any of the picnic tables around the museum are available for schools to use during lunch. Please be kind and share spaces if other groups need a place to eat. Larger groups should consider staggering lunches to limit congestion in our lunch areas.
Do we have an option to get a prearranged lunch with your cafe?
Groups of 25 or more individuals can prearrange lunch through our cafe. Please give at least a three-week notice if you are interested in prearranging a lunch. Availability may be limited based on the season. Groups with 25 or less people wanting to eat at the cafe may do so, and can go through the cafe line to purchase a lunch. Please keep in mind that the cafe is only open when the museum is open. If you are arriving on an off day during the shoulder season (October-May), please expect to bring your own lunch.
What form of payment do you prefer?
We accept cash, check, credit card, and purchase orders. Payment can be made before, upon or post arrival. Please notify your Wild Center staff contact of any special payment requirements.
Can our students visit The Wild Supply Company Museum Store?
We would love to have your students visit the museum store. Space inside the store is limited and we ask that groups no bigger than ten students enter at a time. Students in the store must be accompanied by a chaperone. If you have a large group, please advise your chaperones that they should stagger the groups visiting the store. Also, if your group is visiting on an off day during the shoulder season (October-May) please let Wild Center staff know if you would like to visit the store and we can arrange for the store to be open for business.

Maximus Profits by David Maximus is one of the scam systems online which promises to give you complete financial freedom. Not only that, it promises to make you millionaire in a week or month just with a single investment.
Is this reminding you of any other system which claims to make you a millionaire in no time? Well, I have exposed a lot of such scam systems so this is nothing new to me provided this is a complete rubbish marketing strategy by some scammers to lure innocent day traders to make an investment into their pockets.
Just go through this detailed review and get informed about why this is the next big scam that will do nothing but fool people.
Maximus Profits Review – Is Maximus Profits Scam?
A very Suspicious Website
The website of the Maximus Profits looks too lame, and moreover, it doesn't look like the website of a financial trading platform at all. For a reality check, you can go through well known professional platforms like Banc de Binary or 24Options and find out the difference for yourself.
Moreover, there are no proper contact details, and so it lacks a proper support system which will help you whenever you are in confusion. This is a very suspicious thing about the website, and no one should ever try to get involved with a system which doesn't have a proper support system.
What is Maximus Profits?
According to the video presenter, the Maximus Profits is an automated trading software which completely works on auto pilot and finds the right trade for you. This is too simple to be true and without any guaranteed historical data it looks more unauthentic.
Even the video used for marketing and promotion of the product doesn't seem authentic at all. This is because the man presenting the product in the video is totally a suspicious person and his other exploits will be explained in the next few lines.
Should you trust David Maximus?
The most significant question that came to my mind is whether or not anybody should trust David Maximus who acts as the owner of the software. The answer is obviously a simple no. This is because there is no credible proof to what so ever he is claiming and moreover I have seen this person in some other scam platform with a completely different name.
Yes, you read it right the person posing as the owner Maximus Profits has been related to another scam platform by the name NAVSTAR. He again features in another scam platform by the name Admissio formula as a Tech Guy and Cloud Trader as the CEO.
I think I made myself clear here by saying that you cannot actually trust this person because he is a big fraud who has been connected to many scammers who are fooling people all around the world.
Just have a look at the picture given above and see for yourself why I call this person fake. It is indeed disturbing and not something to be entertained at any cost.
No Particular Algorithm
The fake presentation of Maximus Profits scam doesn't even clearly reveal what kind of technology or science makes this system a money making machine. How can you trust a platform without any proof or any tangible data when it is related to financial trading to be precise?
Well, the most confusing part is when he explains that the investment you make will be switched with another client who has invested the opposite way. This according to him will profit, but to be honest, I think he should stop bluffing around people at this age and start making better honest living out of himself rather than fooling innocent people.
Paid and Fake Testimonials
Now, what about the people who seem to be thanking this fake David Maximus by claiming to have to make a huge amount of money every month? The answer is simple, all of them are fake too, and they have been hired by these scammers to say a few words in exchange for some money.
There is no particular reason to believe these people neither any proof regarding their bogus claims, just as simple as that.
Other Fake Claims
The Maximus Profits system is a store house of fake stories and lies. Just each and every detail about this system seems to be false. Take into account the age of the platform which claims that it has been making people win trades without any loss since 2013.
To check whether this website was even 3 years old I did a brief investigation in the popular domain age checking site Who.is and found that this claim is a complete lie.
You can clearly see here that the website has been registered on 2016-07-03 that is exactly 2 months ago. So, you can avoid this system right now and say goodbye to your investment if you have unfortunately made it so.
Verdict: Not Worth your Time and Money!!
I have no intention of making yours or anyone's life miserable by recommending Maximus Profits scam system to you. And after reading this article and having found all the loopholes, you must have been clear about what is actually going on.
Just avoid this system because you will do yourself a big favor by doing that. This is one of the ridiculous scams I have ever come across, and you should even stay away from those people who ever recommend this system to you.

Six books and three programmes
If you want to format your own file as an eBook, you need just four books. You also need three pieces of software.
Those are the two main ways of formatting an eBook.
You can format the file yourself as an Epub or Mobi file – the two most common Ebook formats – and upload the file to Kindle Direct Publishing or Smashwords. That gives you control of the formatting and, most importantly, of the appearance of your book.
Alternatively, you can clean up your Word manuscript – or your Libre Office file, or whatever wordprocessing software you use – and let Kindle Direct Publishing or Smashwords and let them convert the file to an eBook.
This saves time and effort. You don't have to learn new software. And it doesn't cost anything extra.
If you want to use this method, and upload your wordprocessing file to Kindle Direct Publishing or Smashwords, relax. Each company makes a manual available.
This isn't really the place for a thorough discussion of the respective merits of the different approaches. What it is important to realise is that people tend to be partisan. You rarely find a fair account of both alternatives in the same book or post.
People who advocate formatting the file yourself are very deprecatory about uploading the wordprocessing file. They say the publishers often make a horrible mess. They tend not to give examples.
People who recommend uploading to Kindle Direct Publishing or Smashwords don't usually mention the possibility of doing it yourself. It's as if the other way doesn't exist.
The best-sellers sometimes dismiss the writers who format their own books as hobbyists. I think they are artisans. It's a question of personality.
I would not recommend online conversion services. You don't know what software they are using and you don't know what the results are like.
Some word processing packages enable you to output an Epub or Mobi file. Don't. Guido Henkel is emphatic on this point: '…word processors— and that includes "Scrivener"—are not very good at what eBooks do, and are therefore the wrong tools for the job when the time comes to create an eBook from your finished manuscript.'
Scrivener is designed for drafting long documents. I don't think it's even very good at word processing. I certainly wouldn't use it to output an Epub or a Mobi file.
I would not recommend paying anyone else to turn your word-processing your file into an eBook for you. Even if you are very rich and very busy, I suggest that you find out what would be involved in the other methods first.
The books
- EBOOKS 101: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO E-BOOK FORMATTING, Teo Kos, 2015
This books is exactly what it says. It takes you through the rather limited amount of HTML and CSS you need to format an eBook and shows you how to do it. You can use EBOOKS 901 as an introduction, but it is designed as a manual. I have it open when I do more formatting, and I toggle back and forth.
Ana Jevtic Kos, Teo's wife, is an artist and designer. Together they run First Ink Studios, an eBook design and formatting service. Teo Kos is also a writer. He knows the business from both sides.
Mr Kos writes science fiction as Viktor Kowalski. Apparently this means 'John Smith' in Polish.
If you can explain to me why a respectable Croatian professional calls himself 'John Smith' in Polish when he writes science fiction, I will award a small prize. A copy of my first novel as an eBook, perhaps?
It's £1.99 on Kindle. You can go directly to the product page on Amazon by clicking here.
2. ZEN OF EBOOK FORMATTING, Guido Henkel, 2015
Mr Henkel is vastly experienced. He formats his own books and has vast hordes of customers for his fomatting service. His great strength as an author is that he doesn't just know eBooks and the web. He also knows print.
Mr Henkel makes the differences between print and eBooks very clear. He is also very good at explaining why we format eBooks the way we do. He explains concepts like reflowable in simple terms.
I would recommend this very highly as an introduction. Mr Henkel does not write solely for beginners and his advice is sometimes quite sophisticated. It was from Mr Henkel's book for example that I learned how to insert a clickable link. I love inserting clickable links.
Mr Kos's book and Mr Henkel's complement each other very well.
ZEN OF EBOOK FORMATTING costs £3.77 on Kindle. The direct link to the Amazon product page is here.
Mr Henkel's email, which I am sure he will not mind me publishing for the millions, is email@example.com. To visit his website, click here.
3. HOW TO MAKE AN E-BOOK COVER for non-designers, Kate Harper, 2012
The manuals of self-publishing, the how to books and the guides all agree on one thing: you can't design and create the covers for your own eBook.
Oh yes, you can. And Ms Harper is going to explain how.
If you're doing down-market genre fiction and selling large quantities, a professionally designed cover will make a measurable difference. If you haven't yet got any money coming in from sales, you need to look a cheaper options.
Creating your own cover can be one of those options. And it's fun.
Ms Harper covers finding and editing images, as well as laying out type, colour, integrating the different elements, formatting and uploading.
My only disagreement is over software. Ms Harper recommends either Word, which is limited, or Adobe Photoshop, which is expensive.
She suggests using a free thirty-day download of Photoshop, or accessing it in a public library. My hair curls.
I recommend Gimp. See below.
HOW TO MAKE AN EBOOK COVER is £2.10 on Kindle. The Amazon product page is here.
4. HOW TO GIMP: The Gnu Image Manipulation Program for Complete Beginners, Katherine Landreth, 2013
Kat Landreth's HOW TO GIMP is the essential complement to Kate Harper's book. HOW TO GIMP is a compehensive, step by step guide to Gimp, the powerful software package of choice if you want to create covers.
You can use Gimp (more details below, under software) to create cover images for print layout programmes like Scribus. You can also use it to create eBook covers for upload to Kindle Direct Publishing or Smashwords.
You can contact Ms Landreth via the publishers, Three Dots Press, who are at 3126 Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23221.
£7.78 on Amazon here.
All the software I am recommending here is open source. It has been developed collectively, and it is free.
Sigil is a text editor like Notepad. It is designed specifically for eBooks. It allows you to toggle from a 'code view' to a 'book view', which is very useful. It will generate an automatic table of contents. It won't let you save your work unless it is a well-formed HTML file. It's very much the software of choice.
Calibre can be used to organise a library of eBooks, and as a reader. Its main use in self-publishing is to convert a file from one format to another.
The industry standard for eBooks was originally a protocol called Epub. Some people still need files in this format, and this is what Sigil outputs.
Kindle uses a protocol called Mobi. Amazon can't use the industry standard.
Calibre converts your Sigil file from Epub to Mobi while you wait. Use the Save to Disc command to save the converted file in a folder.
The conversion is easy. Mobi is in fact based on Epub. One wonders why Amazon…. No. We know why Amazon.
You will see separate icons for each format. You can then upload the Mobi file to Kindle.
If you think the name Mobi is weird, it is. Amazon bought the software from a French firm called Mobipocket, who sold – guess what? – pocket mobile phones.
Make your images, including cover images, and create eBook covers. Gimp is the open source equivalent of Photoshop.
It has powerful resources, most of which you probably won't need. It can do pretty much everything you want.
NB: I have seen very positive remarks on line from people who make their own covers using a design programme called Canva. I haven't used it myself.
The Manuals
If you upload your wordprocessing file to Kindle Direct Publishing or Smashwords you will need to clean it up or it won't format properly.
You have to strip out the page numbers and the running heads, and any tabs or carriage returns you have used to create paragraph and page breaks, and extra spaces at the end of paragraphs. Use the formatting commands on the menu bar.
By the time you have written your first novel you will probably be able to find your way around your wordprocessing package fairly easily. If you can't, consider asking a fourteen-year-old nephew. Fourteen-year-old nephews understand about these things.
Both Kindle Direct Publishing and Smashwords have thoughtfully provided manuals. You only need one.
5. BUILDING YOUR BOOK FOR KINDLE, Kindle Direct Publishing
It's free and it's here.
6. THE SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE, Mark Coker, 2012.
Smashwords now convert to a range of formats. They prefer you to upload a properly prepared wordprocessing file, rather than an Epub.
Mr Coker's author page on Smashwords is here. His Facebook URL is this.
You can of course get the STYLE GUIDE from Smashwords. For completeness – since I have given the Amazon product page link for every other book in this post – you can also get it here.
You can see details of the latest book I did with this software and using these books here. It's not bad.

Sorry about the dropoff. We write when power and connection allows. The generator is back up thanks to the amazing work of the tech guys. Praise be to them.
Took the first walk around- the rats coming out of their holes. Destruction is everywhere and in many cases it is complete.
Looters/scavengers are walking the roads with bags of liquor and radios.
Our neighborhood bar used to be three or four doors north of the Gulf of Mexico. It would still be three or four doors if there were any doors left. The wall that used to separate it from the next place south was taken out. I could see the Gulf straight through the side of the place.
The local TV station was basically torn apart. Wind and trees sliced satellite dishes into shreds and power lines are hanging everywhere.
Martial law is in effect and the National Guard is about to roll through. They better get here soon or this nice southern town is going to rip itself apart.
Reports come through the scanner say hundreds of people trapped and bodies in sunken boats. As far as I know it is too early to start understanding how bad it is.
I pulled a circuit breaker box cover off of a light pole. I thought it was lighter because it was crumbled like tin and bent lengthwise. It weighed fifty pounds and was made of steel.
We'll post some photos in a bit.

A Chicago firefighter today credited his fellow firefighters for pulling him from a Far South Side blaze after a flashover flared up in the one-story home.
A 74-year-old woman died and three firefighters were injured in the late Thursday night fire.
The three firefighters who were injured were caught in a flashover of some kind, Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said.
One of the injured firefighters said from home tonight that the fire appeared out when it suddenly flashed and burned him and two others.
"It was out but it rekindled," said Reed Riley. In 21 years on the Fire Department "that was maybe the second time I've seen something like that."

The Beaufort County School District gained a major victory Wednesday from the S.C. Court of Appeals, which upheld a lower court's ruling that favored the district in a dispute with insurance carriers over settlement payments to victims of a former teacher convicted of child molestation.
"The way I would describe it is that it's like hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the eight inning of a tie game," said former Board of Education member Bob Arundell. "Now we've got a four-run lead, but there's still another inning to go."
Arundell, who did not seek re-election in November, had been the board's liaison with the district's lawyers.
The district sued United National Insurance and the S.C. School Boards Insurance Trust in June 2007, seeking to recover about $4.6 million the district paid to six victims of former Coosa Elementary School music teacher Philip Underwood-Sheppard.
In June 2008, the Beaufort County Court of Common Pleas ruled both insurers must treat each of the victims' claims as separate events. That would entitle the district to more than $5.5 million in annual insurance coverage against sexual abuse and harassment claims.
The district's insurers appealed, saying all cases of sexual misconduct by Underwood-Sheppard should be handled as a single claim. That would mean the district is entitled to far less money because its insurance coverage per claim is capped. The insurers also argued the district's policy does not distinguish between "sexual abuse" and "sexual harassment," thus the district would not be entitled to make two claims on its settlement for each victim, even if the seven were considered separately.
The court's three-judge panel, which heard arguments in September, disagreed.
"This has been a long time coming," Arundell said.
However, the lawsuit won't necessarily end with Wednesday's ruling, he pointed out.
The decision could be appealed to the full Appeals Court, then to the S.C. Supreme Court, school district attorney Frank Holleman of the Wyche Law Firm in Greenville said in a memo released by superintendent Valerie Truesdale.
In his memo, Holleman called the court's decision to uphold all lower-court rulings appealed by the insurance companies "a strong victory for the Beaufort County School District." However, he said the decision simply dealt with the interpretation of the policy. Even if the companies don't appeal, a court still must determine how much the district is entitled to.
Underwood-Sheppard pleaded guilty to molesting at least nine students and was sentenced in 2003 to 25 years in prison.
To pay the $4.6 million settlement for six victims, Beaufort County Council in 2007 passed a small tax increase in school operations taxes, paired with an equivalent offset in school debt taxes.
A seventh case was handled entirely by the insurance companies. The district later settled for $500,000 with an eighth victim who came forward after the initial settlement. A ninth victim died.
Wednesday's decision could mean millions of dollars to the district, which is grappling with budget shortfalls that could total more than $12 million over the next two fiscal years.
However, Truesdale said it would be "inappropriate to speculate on how money might be spent when there is very little chance of receiving funds anytime soon."

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's spokesman sent a birthday greeting to the president of Iran, who turned 54 this week.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley urged Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (ah-muh-DEE'-neh-zhahd) to send American hikers Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer home.
In a tweet sent Thursday on Ahmadinejad's birthday, Crowley said, "What a gift that would be."
Fattal, Bauer and a third American, Sarah Shourd, were arrested by Iranian forces in July 2009 while hiking near the border of Iran and Iraq. Fattal and Bauer are still being held and are scheduled to stand trial in November on spying charges.
The Iranians freed Shourd last month on $500,000 bail.
There was no immediate response from the Iranian president.

A protein which occurs naturally in the body reduces brain lesions caused by a stroke, according to a new study.
The protein is called alpha-B-crystallin and, in mice, appears to be effective up to 12 hours after a stroke occurs.
Stroke is one of the world's top killers, and a leading cause of disability. According to the World Health Organization, 15 million people suffer a stroke each year. One-third of them die, and another third are permanently disabled. Treatment options have been limited.
In most cases of stroke, a blood vessel in the brain becomes clogged, cutting off the supply of oxygen and nutrients to brain tissue. Within a short time, brain tissue begins to die.
The only treatment is a clot-buster called tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA. But it is only useful when given in the first hours after a stroke. Also, tPA doesn't work against the next part of a stroke event, when immune system cells rush in to protect the brain but actually promote dangerous inflammation.
"In any individual person, the inflammatory component may make up as much as twice the degree of injury as the initial damage," says Dr. Gary Steinberg of Stanford University's medical school and co-senior author of the study.
A few years ago, Steinberg and his colleagues found that a naturally-occurring protein called alpha-beta-crystallin could reduce brain damage in multiple sclerosis patients. They thought it might also prevent brain damage in stroke victims.
To find out, they first used two groups of laboratory mice - normal mice whose bodies make the protein, and a special variety that does not produce the protein. They induced strokes in both groups of mice, but the strokes were much worse in the mice bred not to produce the alpha-beta-crystallin.
"We then delivered the same protein or molecule, a-beta-crystallin, into the mice through an injection and found that we could protect the brains of the mice further by giving additional a-beta-crystallin," Steinberg said.
That suggests that the protein might be used to limit the damage in human stroke patients, too.
Steinberg says using alpha-beta-crystallin could represent a unique approach to stroke treatment.
"I think that's what's exciting about it. It's basically utilizing an endogenous or native mechanism that we think is present in stroke victims already, but it's not robust enough, and we are augmenting it, and it attacks the inflammatory component, which is unique."
Steinberg says more animal tests are needed before they can move on to human trials.

UIElement.Visibility Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you're developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets or sets the visibility of a UIElement. A UIElement that is not visible does not render and does not communicate its desired size to layout.
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: Not mapped to an xmlns.
<uiElement Visibility="Visible"/> -or- <uiElement Visibility="Collapsed"/>
Property ValueType: System.Windows.Visibility
A value of the enumeration. The default value is Visibility.Visible.
Dependency property identifier field: VisibilityProperty
Elements where Visibility is not Visible do not participate in input events, are not in a tab sequence (cannot be focused), and are excluded during hit testing.
The value of IsHitTestVisible is ignored when an object is not set to Visible. IsHitTestVisible is a settable property that enables you to disable hit testing for objects that would otherwise be hit testable by virtue of the Visibility and Background property values.
Windows Phone does not support a Visibilty value of Hidden.
For more information on the XAML syntax, see Visibility.
Visibility in a Visual State
As part of defining visual states for a control, you will sometimes want to change the Visibility state of an object to Collapsed. Visual states rely on animations. The property value type of UIElement.Visibility is Visibility, an enumeration. To animate values that are enumerations, you must use a DiscreteObjectKeyFrame. (You also use this technique for Boolean values).
The following XAML example shows a visual state that uses DiscreteObjectKeyFrame to change visibility.

Frank Warner/John Lomax/Alan Lomax
(Spoken recitation over musical accompaniment)
Throughout history, there have been many songs written about the eternal triangle. This next one tells the story of Mister Grayson, a beautiful woman, and a condemned man named Tom Dooley. When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley must hang.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley. Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley. Poor boy, you're bound to die.
I met her on the mountain. There I took her life. Met her on the mountain. Stabbed her with my knife.
This time tomorrow. Reckon where I'll be. Hadn't-a been for Grayson, I'd-a been in Tennessee.
This time tomorrow. Reckon where I'll be. Down in some lonesome valley hangin' from a white oak tree.
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kingston_trio/tom_dooley.html

By underpinning the modern legal professional's workflow, Professional 9 is set to be the answer for many who need to do more with 'less'.
Productivity enhancements include a new 'accept or reject' feature, which allows legal professionals to apply changes directly from the DeltaView. This seamless editing experience helps drive significant efficiency gains for users, while meeting the need for absolute accuracy.
Its 'change notification' feature automatically alerts recipients of changes made to email attachments, allowing users to instantly compare new and previous versions of documents directly from their Outlook. This provides a holistic view of what's changed, addressing version-control issues and keeping everyone in the loop.
Barry MacTavish, Partner at Thompson Dorfman Sweatman commented, "Workshare Professional 9 enables attorneys to not only stay connected while working remotely, but also increase productivity wherever they are. The ability to review, accept and reject changes within one application is a major game changer for the legal sector. This functionality means that attorneys are not only able to work on and progress documents faster, but be more responsive and efficient than ever. This will allow us to provide better client service, and also ensure work is always accurate and of the highest standard."
Anthony Foy, CEO at Workshare commented, "Firms and corporate counsels are under incredible pressure to cut costs yet increase efficiency. Having dedicated resources or highly skilled legal professionals doing administrative tasks is unproductive. Professional 9 helps to dramatically shorten review cycles, letting legal professionals focus on what they do best."

ANN ARBOR -- As Michigan approaches the end of its second week of fall camp, Brady Hoke says the team is getting closer to figuring out a firm top five on the offensive line.
On Thursday afternoon, speaking with 107.3-FM's "The Sports Brothers" show, Hoke hinted that at least one spot on the offensive line seems to be resolved.
"I think the development (with what) that unit has done has been real positive," Hoke said. "A guy like Ben Braden from Rockford, right now, he's our right tackle. And I'd expect him to be our right tackle on the (Aug. 30 against Appalachian State).
"But, you know, they've all improved and they've all gained vital experience. It's very competitive, but I think we're getting closer to being where we want to be."
At this point in fall camp, Michigan's rotation -- across the board -- on the offensive line has been heavy.
Sophomore Erik Magnuson has repped with the first team at both left tackle and guard. Freshman Mason Cole has repped at left tackle -- on the show, Hoke continued to mention Cole as a true freshman who has a chance of playing this year.
Kyle Kalis, Kyle Bosch, Graham Glasgow, Chris Fox and David Dawson have all seen time at guard. Glasgow and Jack Miller have worked at center. Braden has mainly worked as the team's right tackle, though Dawson also saw snaps there as well.
The Wolverines went through a 100-plus play scrimmage Wednesday at Michigan Stadium, and will hold another scrimmage Saturday night -- an event that is open and free to the public.
From there, Hoke says he's hoping to have something solidified up front.
"The one thing we'll do, Sunday is kind of the day we've marked on the calendar where we'll (find) some continuity. We've gone through fall camp a little bit with a first group, but once in a while, we're putting other guys in the mix a little bit to see how they perform."
Other notes from Hoke's appearance on the show:
• Hoke was asked to explain why this roster is still so young, he pointed to the level of attrition from the team's 2010 recruiting class -- the final group signed by ex-coach Rich Rodriguez: "I can tell you, the fifth-year guys, we have (four) of them. That class was originally a signing class of 37. That class had 27 make it to campus, and they're not here (now). Why things like that happen? They happen. We have some guys who have stuck it out. Devin Gardner, Jake Ryan, Will Hagerup and Joey Burzynski. That's the fifth-year class."
• Hoke, once again, was asked to respond to the notion that this is a "make or break" year for him. His response: "No. 1, we have 42 Big Ten championships. That's more than anybody else in this league, by a pretty good margin. Every time you represent Michigan, from every team and this is the 135th team, (it's about) the Big Ten championship. We all understand that and we work hard every day to uphold those expectations."

The 10th season of "Top Chef" takes place in Seattle and features two cheftestants with matching spoon tattoos, a dad-to-be who may miss the birth of his first child and a Belgian knight with an affinity for yelling "Booya!"
It also features 31-year-old Chrissy Camba, a Lincoln Square resident who grew up in Hoffman Estates. (For those foggy on the 'burbs, that's "the city adjacent to Schaumburg, which holds the Ikea," she said.) As the first step on her intended path to becoming a neurosurgeon, Camba earned a biology degree at Loyola University before finding her true calling in cooking. Since then, she's worked at Chicago restaurants such as HB, Bin 36, Duchamp and Vincent before being hired as the executive chef of Bar Pastoral, due to open Monday in East Lakeview.

BATON ROUGE – The LSU College of Education Curriculum Theory Project, or CTP, Brown
Bag Lecture Series hosted "Wow! We are Really White," presented by Kenny Fasching-Varner
on Tuesday, September 20, in 225 Peabody Hall.
The presentation stemmed from the research of Fasching-Varner, which examines white
racial identity as expressed in the narratives of pre-service teachers. Fasching-Varner's
research illustrated that there is often a disconnect in identity between teachers
and their students and focused on understanding teachers' own racial identities as
an important step toward reconciling identity differences.
His study also revealed that research participants displayed repeated instantiations
of abstract liberalism, an engagement with ideas that reflect liberal ideals to explain
race while simultaneously engaging in discourse that conflicts with these liberal
views, revealing a more conservative orientation to race.
Participants in Fasching-Varner's study used a variety of techniques to establish
non-racist, non-judgmental, open and expansive standpoints. Conversations with the
same subjects, however, revealed conflicts to their articulated ideologically open
Research suggested that while white pre-service teachers may not intentionally, or
even consciously, view students of color differently from the way they view white
students, the participants revealed subconscious ideas about race that warrant a deeper
understanding of how differences across the identity spectrum can be addressed by
teacher educators in the preparation of pre-service teachers.
Through his research, Fasching-Varner aims to discover pathways to reconcile the disconnect
in identities between teachers and students, helping pre-service teachers build symmetrical
relationships with students.
"If we are to meet the challenges of 21st century education, particularly in urban
settings, conversations about race and racial identity are pivotal, particularly given
that 85-92 percent of teachers are white and students do not mirror this same demographic,"
said Fasching-Varner.
Fasching-Varner conducted this research in the northeast United States and is eager
to work with pre-service and in-service teachers in south Louisiana. He joined the
LSU College of Education faculty in August 2011 as an assistant professor in the Department
of Educational Theory, Policy and Practice and recently has been elected to the LSU
Faculty Senate executive committee.

Baby Jesus stolen from St. Bernard nativity scene
Baby Jesus stolen from St. Bernard nativity scene
St. Bernard, OHIO —
Police in St. Bernard say they want baby Jesus back.
The figure was taken from the nativity scene outside City Hall sometime on Christmas Eve.
St. Bernard police Officer Bill Ungruhe told WLWT Jesus was replaced with an orange traffic cone.
Ungruhe said pranksters have been placing cones around town for months, including on cars.
Ungruhe said he does not know if the nativity scene incident is related to the other pranks.
The city paid $13,000 for the nativity set, including $1,000 for the Jesus figure.
Angry commenters pleaded on the department's Facebook page for the return of baby Jesus.
Ungruhe said anyone with information on the theft can call the anonymous tip line at (513) 860-7233 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Saddam's defense lawyers preparing challenge in US courts, leaked papers show
[JURIST] Defense lawyers for Saddam Hussein are preparing legal challenges to his upcoming war crimes trial to be filed in US courts, according to leaked memos. The Sunday Times reported that a brief titled "The Iraqi Special Tribunal as Victors' Justice — the Inherent Illegality and Bias of the Whole Process" was prepared by leading UK human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith and argues that US law should apply in the case because the trial is being held by US initiative. The brief also argues that Saddam should be granted basic rights held by US citizens such as access to counsel and an independent judge and jury in his trial. The first trials of Saddam's former lieutenants are expected to begin this week. JURIST's Paper Chase has ongoing coverage of legal developments in the case. From the UK, the Sunday Times has more.

I have always wanted to do a "Blooming 9 Patch" Quilt.
I was messing around on eq7 tonight and came up with this:
Wouldn't this look lovely in hand-dyes?
I showed it to my husband. He said – "yep. it would look lovely in about 5 years when you are finished…"
he is so true.
Did I mention it will be king size. with 3" finished blocks?
Maybe I will buy the PFD for myself for Christmas and start on it in the new year.

Hello, friends! Attention, Attention! is back with a little twist (and the first time I, Magan, am writing one)! This feature is for when we read books the other has already reviewed on the blog and we just need to fangirl about it a little bit more because you just need to read it. So […]
[…] Attention, Attention: Audrey, Wait! A review of First Comes Love by Katie Kacvinsky A review of The Ruby Oliver Series by E. Lockhart A PMS Survival Kit from Magan A review of This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith […]
This book is on my Spring TBR list, but now I just want to read it even more!!! Those quotes are so funny! I'm sure I'm going to love this book. Audrey and Victoria seem like a good BFF team and a funny one too!
Yup. This seals the deal. When I go to my library on Monday, I'll be checking this one out for sure! The quotes are just so hilarious, and I'm LOVING the interactions between Audrey and her MC. And the fact that Audrey and her parents are close is so neat! I feel like that kind of relationship isn't common in YA when it really should be.
Thanks for sharing, Magan! <3
I've been wanting to read this one for awhile now but for some reason I just haven't gotten to it yet. I'm going to have to check it out now, though! 🙂
This is a really awesome feature, by the way!
I've wanted to read this so long based on the awesome pink & orange cover and the wonderful reviews. I even have a copy, received via book swap, and I still have not read it. I must get to it, soon!!
Love this feature, it's a nice way of promo-ing your fave books 🙂
I feel like these quotes are showing a very good friendship between Audrey and Victoria although they are also reminding me that I put this book down because I felt there was a lot of swearing and I generally prefer clean books (in terms of language).
FAVORITE YA EVER! But that's something you knew already probably 🙂
I really, really need to read this one! I just read my first Benway book (Also Known As) recently, and loved how it was written. I'm pretty sure I'm going to like Audrey and her BFF too!

How to light up a lamp or light bulb in Daz Studio
Skill Level: Beginner / Views: 1918 / System Requirements: Daz Studio, but should also work in Poser
How to make a table lamp, wall lamp, ceiling lamp or even a bare light bulb appear to light up and glow in your renders.
Simple Instructions
Make sure the lamp is very near its final location.
Determine where the camera line of sight will hit the lamp, place a pointlight directly in front of the lampshade in the line of sight. The pointlight should be pale yellow or yellow-orange to simulate incandescent lighting - use pale bluish-white if lamp is fluorescent. Do spot renders to make sure the lampshade "lights up" properly and the color is OK. Adjust the location and / or pointlight color until it looks good.
If you still have trouble making the lamp look good at this point:
- If light is too saturated, try reducing the light strength;
- Look at the lampshade. If lampshade is not plain white or cream, you might have to lighten the shade color quite a bit or remove the texture entirely. Once you have done this, spot render and adjust the pointlight again until it looks good.
Once you get all of this OK, you can parent the lights to the lamp and make small moves of the lamp without messing up the lights. That's it!
You can also use this technique for a bare light bulb, you might have to reduce the size or strength of the pointlights is all.
Enjoy! Let me know how it works for you!

Thanks for this tut, it's helped me get the effects I wanted with flames which I have had problems with since starting with D|S. I can now render semi-realistic flames for my scenes! Thanks again!

I have been trying to find a way to create a gas lamp effect on a foggy night useing the Victorian Street light. do you have any ideas on that? Thanks,
NetWorthy 11:33AM Sun, 08 June 2008
I haven't found any fire / torch props I really like, I've had to resort to painting them as postwork. But one or two well placed pointlights in the vicinity of the torch or firepot will lend realism when the light floods surrounding items. You many want to skew the color values more towards red for this usage.
CurtieBear 9:12PM Thu, 05 June 2008
As an aside, how well would this work for torches/fire pots?
CurtieBear 9:10PM Thu, 05 June 2008

SUNY Downstate Medical Center
Office of Diversity & Inclusion
The State University of New York Downstate Medical Center (Downstate) is committed to providing an educational and work environment for its faculty, staff, and students free of intimidation and harassment. The Downstate Policy on Sexual Harassment states that such conduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Further, sexual harassment situations will be dealt with promptly and appropriate corrective action will be taken. Faculty, staff, and students may use the SUNY Grievance Procedure for Review of Allegations of Discrimination to file a complaint of discrimination with the Downstate Office of Diversity & Affirmative Action (ODI).
Downstate encourages the development of mentoring and collegial relationships characterized by professional and ethical behavior that is free of discriminatory actions. However, consensual sexual relationships between a faculty member and student1, or between a supervisor and subordinate employee exceed a collegial business or academic partnership and, therefore, may compromise the objectivity and integrity of the individuals in positions of influence and power. Downstate recognizes that the decision to engage in such relationships is a personal one. Nonetheless, to fulfill its obligation and commitment to equal employment and educational opportunity and to prevent questionable professional conduct, Downstate prohibits consensual sexual relationships between a faculty member and a student/resident , and between a supervisor and a subordinate employee.
Consensual sexual relationships between faculty and their students/residents1, and between supervisors and their subordinate employees are considered especially problematic by Downstate for two major reasons: conflicts-of-interest and the power differential. Students/residents depend upon professors for grades, recommendations and opportunities for teaching and research. Subordinate employees rely upon their supervisors for job assignments, overtime, performance evaluations, raises, promotions and other terms and conditions of employment. Conflicts-of-interest inevitably arise when individuals have the responsibility for evaluating academic and clinical performance, or for hiring or making personnel decisions involving those with whom they have such relationships.
In the academic, training and work setting, parties in a consensual sexual relationship must recognize that the reasons for entering, maintaining, or terminating such a relationship may be a function of the power differential, and that the relationship may not be truly welcome or consensual. With an academic or employment career at stake, a student or employee may find it difficult or threatening to refuse a request from a professor or supervisor, no matter how casual the request. Such relationships are also inappropriate in that they engender a negative or uncomfortable working or learning environment for others who perceive preferential treatment.
Therefore, effective immediately, it is the policy of Downstate that:
- Consensual sexual relationships between faculty and their students/residents1, and between supervisors and their subordinate employees are prohibited.
- In such matters, it is the faculty or supervisor who will be held accountable for violating this policy.
- Faculty and supervisors who, at the time of this policy's issuance, have such a relationship shall immediately contact ODI for assistance in redressing the inherent policy conflict.
- Within the more general context of Downstate employment, faculty and supervisory personnel are otherwise encouraged to refrain from initiating and to discourage consensual sexual relationships and to remove themselves from any personal relationships, where they can be perceived as making academic, training or personnel decisions that are not based on organizational and operational goals and objectives.
- Failure to comply with this policy will result in appropriate administrative or disciplinary action.
ODI, at Extension 1738, is available to answer questions regarding this policy and to consult if problems occur or when individuals are uncertain about how to manage boundaries in a dual relationship.
1 Student/resident is defined as a student or resident who is in the same program, class or academic or clinical rotation as the faculty member.

HA NOI — Thai investments in Viet Nam now total a combined US$5.8 billion in 250 projects, moving Thailand into the ranks of the top ten sources of foreign investment in the country.
"Following the colossal floods in Thailand a few months ago, Thai investors are now looking for destinations to move their factories," said the chairman of the People's Committee of the southern provnice of Dong Nai, Dinh Quoc Thai, in an interview with the newspaper Lao Dong (Labour).
A large number of Thai companies were conducting market surveys in Viet Nam and considering establishing operations here, Thai said, predicting a substantial injection of investment from Thailand in the near future.
Some major Thai companies that have already invested in Viet Nam include the Charoen Pokphand Group, SCG Group and Amata Corporation. They operate in such sectors as agricultural products, pet food, retail, paper, plastics, chemicals and industrial zone construction and development.
The head of the management board of Binh Duong Industrial Zone, Tran Van Lieu, said that such factors as Viet Nam's cheap and abundant workforce, strong economic growth and large market have attracted many Thai investors, even as floods and rising costs in Thailand have cost them dearly.
In August 2011, the Royal Foods Co invested VND420 billion (US$20 million) into its second project to can food in the central province of Nghe An, following its first facility in the southern province of Tien Giang.
Last November, the Rayong Refinery Co and STFE put forward a proposal to build an oil refinery and thermoelectric power plant in the Nhon Hoi Economic Zone in the central province of Binh Dinh.
Other Thai companies making a move towards Viet Nam include Skhon Kaen, which specialises in manufacturing canned foods and sausages. Berli Jucker also has plans to build two plants in Viet Nam in the first half of this year to manufacture glass bottles and cans for the beverage industry.
At a recent event on economic promotion between the two nations, commercial counsellor Nguyen Thanh Hung introduced Viet Nam's investment policies and described some of the advantages of investing in the country. Hung said bilateral trade had strongly developed in recent years, totalling $9.3 billion last year.
Tourism was a particularly strong area, with significant numbers of visitors travelling between both countries, he said. — VNS

Univision Music Group prexy Jose Behar has sued Univision Communications, accusing the parent company of harming the music division's revs in order to pay less for his equity stake.
Univision placed the music unit on the block in July and is obligated to buy him out. It owns 90% of the division while Behar's company, Diara, owns the remaining 10%.
New suit joins two others pending against Univision Music just as the new owners of the U.S. Hispanic media conglom come close to clinching a sale of this division. Universal Music is said to have the advantage although Sony/BMG and Warner Music Group remain strong bidders. New suit could raise more concerns among bidders who have already shaved $50 million off their initial offers to $200 million or less.
Other two lawsuits allege that Univision Music bribed radio stations and lashed out against execs who griped about the practice, commonly known as payola.
In his suit filed Nov. 21 at an L.A. court, Behar alleges that Univision breached its fiduciary duty to Diara by reducing TV advertising of the music unit, refusing to allow Behar to implement reduction in overhead and other costs or enter into favorable long-term pacts that would benefit the company.
Said breaches are said to have caused Diara damages exceeding $30 million.
Univision Communications has declined to comment. Lawyers for Behar also refused to comment.
Univision's ownership changed hands in the spring when a private investor group led by Saban Capital bought it for $12.3 billion.
In addition to the Univision Network, the company's holdings include the Telefutura Network, the Galavision cable network, a 62 TV stations and 70 radio stations.
A pending lawsuit from longterm programming supplier Televisa Mexico, which seeks to extricate itself from its pact with Univision, is scheduled for March.

Molly and I attended the wedding of Devyn Lambrecht and Kristen Ackerman in Scotts Bluff, Nebraska on March 27th, 2010. Kristen is a college friend of Molly and Molly was the maid of honor. Following the joyous occasion we hopped in the trusty sky blue Hyundai Santa Fe and started the 7 hour trek back to Omaha. We arrived in Omaha around 3am on Sunday March 28, 2010. We got what sleep we could and woke up to make sure the final packing was done and the car was loaded.
Listed Below is our basic travel itinerary.
DEPART Omaha Airport @11 am March 28, 2010
ARRIVE Dallas/Fort Worth Airport @ 12:30 pm March 28, 2010
DEPART Dallas/Fort Worth Airport @ 2:15 pm March 28, 2010
ARRIVE Miami International Airport @ 5:45 pm March 28, 2010
DEPART Miami International Airport @ 11 pm March 28, 2010
ARRIVE Lapaz, Bolivia Airport @ 5:30 am March 29, 2010
Stay on plane while other passengers switch out and the plane is inspected.
DEPART Lapaz, Bolivia Airport @ 6:30 am March 29, 2010
ARRIVE Santa Cruz, Bolivia Airport @ 8:00 am March 29, 2010
(American Airlines the whole way)
Once we arrived in Santa Cruz we were directed into customs. This was a whole new experience for me. I stood ready with my Passport, Visa Application, and various other forms that we were instructed to fill out by American Airlines flight attendants, and of course my Yellow Fever vaccination. Obviously I was not making this trip alone. Molly Treiber, my fiance, was right along side as well as our friend and Missions Coordinator Jeremy Kochendorfer.
Much to Molly's surprise they actually asked to see our yellow fever vaccination forms. She said she has never been asked for that. We continued to walk through security where I showed my passport to a couple other people. Then went over to the desk for my visa application. $135 later and I am set with my visa for the next 5 years.
Praise the Lord all of our luggage arrived safely and nothing was broken. Molly had packed some items from a wedding shower that was held at her home church in Moville, Iowa. We are so grateful for all the many people that have blessed us.
Gordon Elliott was awaiting us with a big smile and a trusty Four Wheel Drive vehicle which I found is basically essential in Santa Cruz. Molly told me a little about the traffic, but I don't think words could compare. It will take some serious time with me behind the wheel to be comfortable in this city driving. It is exciting to say the least.
Gordon is a great chauffeur and got us safely back to the Elliott residence. We unpacked the vehicle and anxiously awaiting us was Niki Elliott (Gordon's wife) and her wonderful cinnamon rolls. We sat down to some breakfast and had a quick chat about the daily plan.
Niki went off to teach at the Missionary school and the rest of us, Gordon, Jeremy, Molly and I went to downtown Santa Cruz for some sight seeing and lunch. I ate my first salteña. Molly had explained them to me as similar to a pot-pie. The crust was very much like a pot pie, but it really resembles a hot pocket. The filling was delectable. There were surprising items like hard-boiled quail eggs and super potent olives with pits still in. Accompanying our meal was a delicious fruit beverage with peaches and milk called "durazno con leche".
I look forward to many more wonderful meals here. I wish Travel Channel could contract me because we all know I am going to be seeking out some good guinea pig. Mmmmmm.
Following our sight seeing we returned to the Elliott's house for tacos and a friendly game of Settlers of Catan. I was prepared for some pretty cut throat play, but the missionaries kept the gloves on. I'm sure there will be many more games of Settlers to be played over the next couple weeks.
I will keep you all updated.
Love and Blessings,
