The Working Group consisted of individuals from selected agricultural organizations, government and labour officials. They were asked to get outside input on amendments and additions to Bill 6, the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act which passed in the legislature in late December 2015 and became law Jan. 1. There were six working groups who had different focuses.
Bill 6 had numerous and vocal opponents so the government created the Employment Standards Technical Working Group and during last year met to get feedback on specific questions and concerns on various topics about workers compensation, Occupational Health and Safety Act, insurance, working hours, conditions, overtime and even the right for workers to form their own labour union.
No matter the results of the final report's recommendations, anyone who works under a farm ranch or feedlot is covered under the WCB, except for unpaid family members and Hutterian families.
According to the government this means "that family members can continue to contribute to farming operations as they always have ... i.e. ... children doing chores or participating in 4-H ... and neighbours can still volunteer to help each other out."
The Act doesn't apply to recreational activities, such as hunting on farmland.
Eric Musekamp, head of the Farmworkers' Union of Alberta, who has been fighting for health, safety and financial protection for injured farm workers for more than a decade, can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
His fight was to get agriculture workers in Alberta the same rights as those in the rest of Canada.
Musekamp liked most of the group's recommendations.
He explains Bill 6 was important because prior to its implementation 8,000 farm workers had no insurance protection at all. He notes it's good for employers and taxpayers too because now if a worker gets injured, the costs incurred for treatment gets paid through the WCB and not directly from the taxpayers' dime under Alberta Health. The employer can also subsequently not be sued by the injured worker.
Musekamp adds private insurance doesn't cover all of the aspect of workers' injuries such as WCB does as they are "different products."
He is still concerned about children and anything which may put them in situations of operating any heavy equipment. There is a recommendation that non-family children aged 12-13 — family members still have to do chores — can work up to 20 hours a week.
Another recommendation has anyone younger than the age of 16 getting paid 75 per cent of the minimum wage rate. Right now in Alberta it is $12.20 and in October 2017 will be $13.60.
With the release of the employment Standards Technical Working Group initial consultative report March 6 (to see the report go to the website at: https:// www.alberta.ca/farm-and-ranch-consultations.aspx) Musekamp hopes everything can be finalized for those people involved.
Critics of Bill 6 shouldn't complain, especially those who are concerned about a union uprising with farm workers.
"The government made it crystal clear they had the right to unionize," explains Musekamp, noting any labour revolt is unlikely.
In a March 6 Marketwired story, the Alberta Federation of Labour called for the provincial government to push forward with "implementing strong basic rights, protections and regulations" for all agricultural workers.
"We are calling on the government to show continued leadership in standing up for some of Alberta's most vulnerable workers by enacting Employment Standards that stand up for Alberta's farm and ranch workers," said Gil McGowan, Alberta Federation of Labour president.
"Given that the vast majority of agricultural workers in Alberta are not unionized, whatever regulations are put in place for the Employment Standards Code will serve as the basic floor of minimum rights for most Albertans working in the agriculture sector."
McGowan didn't like expanding paid non-family youth employment in the industry for 12- and 13-year-olds, adding new exemptions for greenhouses, and exemptions for family-members or more specifically, young family members who could still legally operate heavy duty machinery are okay.
People interested or impacted by the legislation will have until April 3 to make their thoughts known.
Through some funding from the Alberta Liberal Caucus and some private donations, Musekamp has opened up a storefront presence in Bow Island and has called it the Farmworker Service Centre.It is located at 603 Centre Street and open on weekends to garner any positive or negative feedback for the government.
On March 11, they will be open from 10:30 a.m. to mid afternoon and Sunday they will be open from about 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
If one can't travel to Bow Island, visit the Farmworkers Union of Alberta page or phone toll-free 1-844-557-3743.
"Lovers or haters, we will get all feedback and comments and take them back to the government," adds Musekamp.

Are you familiar with Valve and their Steam software service? Are you a user of their service? If so, here's some information you may want to know. Because Steam is really starting to piss me off.
In general, Steam is a decent way to buy games online. It had a horrible start with the launch of Half-Life 2 and the industry had all but written Steam off at that point. But Valve was able to fix the problems and make Steam into what it is today. Normally, I would be generally satisfied with that.
Unfortunately though it seems that Steam has felt the need to use region restrictions on their retail software just like the movie industry does with DVDs. This doesn't affect most people who only buy their games and software locally but for those of us who travel or order from online retailers, this can be a serious issue.
While I was living in Hong Kong I purchased Valve's The Orange Box because I wanted to play Portal and Team Fortress 2. So I took a train to a software store and picked up a copy. Nowhere on the box or packaging does it say it's region restricted and everything is in English like I would expect back home in the States. Excellent. So I install it and play and all is well.
Now I'm back home and this past weekend I decided that I wanted to play Team Fortress 2 again. I've had to get a new PC since my previous one died after the move so I needed to reinstall. So what happens? When I try and install any of the games in The Orange Box, it pops up a message that says that the CD Key I used is region restricted and unusable in my territory. WTF?
I tried changing my time zone and my location in Steam but nothing helped. I guess it must key off of IP addresses since it is an online service. So I contacted their support for help. The answer I get? That they can delete the region restricted key from my account so that I may be so priveleged as to purchase their software again. Uhhh… NO.
They referred me to a very unhelpful FAQ entry on their site that says that the message I got was from region or territory restriction and that I should return my software to the retailer. I'm not sure if these guys at Steam have ever had to buy and return a piece of software but it's not possible. Stores do not allow returns of opened software. Idiots.
And that unhelpful FAQ entry also states that all region restricted retail boxes are clearly marked that they are restricted. I still have the case and everything that came in it. There is not a damn thing on it that says restricted in any way. So my next step is to scan in the sleeve from my retail box and send it to them.
I'm not asking for much. They recently sold The Orange Box on sale for $9.99 USD. I've already invested almost $50 USD into buying this software so I don't see why they can't just give me a new key code without the restrictions that are not listed on what I bought.
I'll let everyone know what happens. Because if this doesn't end with my getting what I paid for, then I will figure out every SEO trick just to see what $9.99 USD worth of BAD PUBLICITY can really do. Which should be interesting since I work at a PR and communications company.


text: Settling InSurveyor General B. R. Stevenson hastily secured tents from the militia so that the weary travellers would have temporary shelter. He also worked to obtain much-need supplies and to hasten construction of the log cabins. Dr. Moffatt was engaged to attend to the settlers' immediate medical needs. As well, Captain Brown remained in the colony for approximately a week to help the newcomers get settled. News of the colonists' troubles, however, soon filtered back home. A letter written by David Taylor, the former editor of the Stonehaven Journal, just before he left the colony for Scotland in the spring of 1873, was published in the Scottish press:...The people that came out are leaving the place by the dozen, and I expect that before the summer is over they will all have vanished. Part of the colonists arrived here on Monday and the other part on Tuesday evening, and since that time their luggage has been lying about on the river bank and all is disorder and confusion.There is only a road constructed for about six miles out, and the houses beyond that are not yet built. Several families are crowded together in one house, while a good many are lodged together in tents on the banks of the river.***Taylor's prediction that all the newcomers would soon flee their new homeland failed to occur. Although a number of them did leave the settlement for the United States and elsewhere in the early days, an estimated 446 colonists remained to work their land. By mid-June about half of them had been settled in their log homes, the rest being housed in temporary shelters on their lots. After a short stay in Scotland, Taylor returned to New Kincardineshire and became postmaster for Stonehaven, taking up the position prior to 1875.*** Quoted in 'A Family Affair': Colonising New Kincardineshire by Marjory Harper, published in History Today, October 1967, p. 46.

Chelsea Transfer News: Major Names Rumoured to Be Eyed by Jose MourinhoJuly 26, 2014
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho had apparently ended his transfer business this summer just one week ago, per BBC Sport. However, that didn't stop him from bringing striker Didier Drogba back to Stamford Bridge, a move confirmed by David Hytner of The Guardian.
The Ivory Coast talisman may not even be the last new arrival in this window. Mourinho is still credited with interest in a pair of high-profile stars, including a former player.
Here's a look at the latest major names Mourinho is rumoured to be eyeing:
A Loan Deal for Radamel Falcao Could be Tempting
He's brought back Drogba and spent big money to land Diego Costa. But Mourinho would surely find it difficult to end his search for attacking reinforcements if he thinks he can get Radamel Falcao on loan.
The prolific Colombian veteran could be made available for a 12-month switch from French side AS Monaco. That is tempting a number of major clubs, including Chelsea and Real Madrid, according to Daily Express reporter Ben Jefferson:
Reports suggest that Monaco want £9.5m for the season-long loan with the remaining £35.5m to be paid next summer.
The deal could also have useful implications in terms of UEFA's Financial Fair Play restrictions with Real already having signed Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez this summer.
It now remains to be seen whether Chelsea, United or City can be enticed to rekindle their interest on the basis of the new terms proposed.
That's a hefty loan fee, but certainly still in Chelsea's range, despite the club's recent efforts to comply with FFP rules. At 28 and not long removed from major ACL damage, Falcao may seem like too much of a risk.
However, there is no denying he still possesses predatory instincts few top-level strikers are able to match. Before the injury, Falcao had been playing well for Monaco, finding the net nine times in 17 appearances, per WhoScored.com.
Of course, many Chelsea supporters may query where even a fit and firing Falcao would fit in an attack that now has Costa as its focal point. But Costa has ample experience playing in the same forward line as Falcao.
The duo were a prolific tandem for Atletico Madrid during the 2011/12 and 2012/13 campaigns. With Falcao roaming in central areas and Costa usually starting on the left side, they fired the goals that won Atleti the UEFA Europa League and the Copa del Rey.
But even as an impact substitute, Falcao's presence would be tremendous. Mourinho spent last season bringing a misfiring Fernando Torres and a lacking in confidence Demba Ba off the bench in search of goals.
If he pulled off a deal for Falcao, Mourinho would have one of deadliest finishers in the European game lurking with intent in reserve this season.
Mourinho Ready to Talk Raphael Varane into Chelsea Switch
Mourinho is ready to whisper sweet nothings in the direction of Madrid, in an attempt to lure Los Blancos centre-back Raphael Varane to the Premier League. In fact, Mounrinho has already started his charm offensive, according to a report in the London Evening Standard:
Mourinho has been exploring the possibility of signing Real Madrid star Raphael Varane, with the France centre-back unhappy at the Bernabeu where his wages of £25,000-a-week are lower than most of the rest of the squad.
He is in talks with Madrid and Mourinho is monitoring the situation to see if there's a chance of buying him.
The report claims Mourinho maintains interest in the player he gave first-team chances to in La Liga, despite the arrival of Varane's fellow youthful French stopper, Kurt Zouma.
Mourinho is absolutely right to continue pursuing a potential deal for Varane. Quality defenders are in short supply in the modern game, especially young ones with the athleticism and power Varane possesses.
On a personal note, it's always a little discouraging to hear that a manager has to talk a player into signing. Prospective new arrivals should wholeheartedly want to join their new homes.
However, that's an idealistic and slightly unrealistic view in today's transfer environment. But it's also equally dubious to claim Chelsea don't need Varane after signing Zouma.
Chelsea are still ageing at centre-back as long as John Terry continues to play a prominent role. Gary Cahill performed ably for most of last season, but his improvement is mostly due to Mourinho's defensive tactics and the value he places on the position.
Anyone who saw Cahill struggle mightily for England at the 2014 FIFA World Cup can't be too confident about him. Even if Cahill is close to peaking, Varane is a player on the rise few would dispute will soon exceed the Englishman.
With both Varane and Zouma available, Chelsea would have two young compatriots ready to form a partnership built to last for a decade.
Mourinho has done excellent business so far in this window. He has equipped Chelsea with close to everything they need in positions that were weak last term, notably striker and attacking midfield.
But there is still room for another marquee addition to further strengthen a powerful-looking squad. Whether that addition comes at the back or up front, Chelsea will enter the new season brimming with top-level quality.

By: Maggie Blaedow, Alabama CASA Network Executive Director
For most of us, this is the most wonderful time of the year. We sing about it, talk about it, make our lists, save our money, and celebrate to the fullest extent possible. For many of us, this is also the time of year when we are most generous and we give to others because we have been given so much. The story below is one that warms my heart and breaks it at the same time. It is a true story that I experienced myself several years ago while managing a local CASA program in Alabama. I hope that it touches you in a way that leads you to appreciate all that we've been given, but also encourages you that your gifts of time and money to CASA are so very worth it!
Several years ago, CASA was appointed to a young boy named Juan*, who has been exposed to unimaginable abuse. Juan's behavior was out of control. We worked with him diligently, and ultimately helped him begin to trust again. It is so very heartbreaking the effects that abuse has on young children. Juan had younger siblings who remained in his home of origin with their mother, but they were living in poverty and barely making it.
Since Juan was in foster care, Christmas gifts was provided to him by another agency, yet his siblings would receive nothing. He had one request and that his siblings could have gifts for Christmas, even if that meant that he didn't get anything. I was so touched by his sense of responsibility for his siblings, and decided asked a CASA community partner to provide Christmas for these children.
As I pulled up to the home to deliver the gifts on Christmas Eve, I remembered that Juan's mother did not speak English, and we may have a bit of trouble communicating. This was a run-down home, that did not even have a heating unit. I walked up to the door and knocked. The mother answered and although I did my best to explain why I was there, she did not understand. She motioned for me to wait and left the door way. I could see inside the house and saw a very misshapen Christmas tree in the corner – think Charlie Brown's Christmas meets Clarke Griswold. Half the lights were not working, yet it touched me that there were handmade ornaments that the children had brought home from school all over it. Juan's mother came back to the door with one of her children and he began to serve as an interpreter for us.
After I explained who I was and that I had some gifts for the children, I told him that I had been sent by Santa and that Santa had known that the family had moved in the last year and he could find their new home. That young boy, probably about 7 years old, looked up at me and said, "Oh good, thank you! He couldn't find our house last year either."
Without CASA's involvement with the older sibling, and without working to get him to a better place in his life, his siblings would have been left alone again, with no Christmas. In my opinion, no child should have to endure a year without Christmas.
I urge you to remember just how much CASA does every single day in the lives of children just like Juan and his siblings. Together, we can have an impact on others, and that is truly the most valuable gift we can give this holiday season.

PRESS RELEASE: Board of Governors' performance funding model receives recognition at national conference
Florida's plans to implement a performance-based funding model at state universities was well-received at a recent conference in Orlando, where Chief Academic Officer Jan Ignash presented the details on a panel with some of the nation's leading financial analysts.
Chief Academic Officer Jan Ignash discussed the Board's model at the National Municipal Federation of Analysts conference as a member of a panel on higher education policy and performance funding.
Dozens of states across the country use performance metrics as a basis for university funding, but Florida is among the first to establish a minimum acceptable level of performance for universities by requiring them to put their existing funds at risk. The model is designed to incentivize excellence and year-over-year improvement and redefine what it means to be a Florida university.
The federation, which focuses on the creditworthiness of municipal bonds, has more than 1,300 members, with roughly 300 at the conference.
JoAnne Ferrigan, senior director of higher education for Fitch Ratings, and Matthew Hamill, senior vice president of the National Association of College and University Business Officers, were also on the conference's higher education panel to discuss the policy and impact of performance funding nationally and in Florida.
Funded by the Legislature and approved by the governor, the Board's performance funding model will be implemented in 2014.
"I was very impressed by the knowledgeable questions and the positive feedback about the model from the participants, who include some very bright thinkers in higher education policy," Ignash said. "This represents a new era of improvement and accountability in our State University System."

Paranormal Romantic Comedy
Rating: 4 Cups
Opal Smith feels like an oddball in a family of psychics. When she sees a body fall over an overpass, the sudden urge of being able to see a vision thrills her, until she encounters the guy that rear-ended her and thinks she is a bit weird.
Jack Davis is a bit irritated when his air bag goes off and he faces the woman responsible. When she confesses about seeing the body, that no one else saw, he is pretty sure she is nuts.
Opal had no idea one little fender bender would open up a mirage of events in her life after meeting Jack. Not only is he tall, dark, and handsome, her Grandma Blue believes Jack is the reincarnation of a racecar driver by the name of 'Dynamite Davis,' and she intends to verify that her assumptions are correct. When Opal goes to question Jack about her Grandma's findings, things begin to heat up. Jack has a construction project that he must finish, but when Opal approaches with some weird inclination about reincarnation, he can only laugh. He already believes she is cuckoo after that little car accident, and still no one has found a body. With a herd of obstacles crossing their path, the two slowly find a way into each other's heart while tying to unlock many unanswered questions.
Sheer Dynamite certainly lives up to its title. I loved the characters of Opal and Jack. The dialogue between the two is stupendous. The blending in of Grandma Blue really adds some dimension to the storyline. The secondary characters spin some great creativity. Ms. Skully pens an incredible tale filled with excitement, on the edge of the seat entertainment, and a story that is just plumb great! This reader found this to be one excellent page-turner.

30 Rock unleashes "S**t Liz Lemon Says" video
Tina Fey's greatest hits as Liz Lemon, 30 Rock's knee-slapping television writer/hostess, have gone viral. Check out NBC's new video, "S**t Liz Lemon Says."
That Liz Lemon says the darndest things!
NBC has elbowed its way into the "S**t [Everyone] Says" trend.
Even if it is about three weeks overdue.
Suits at the Peacock are summoning chuckles all over the blogosphere after unleashing the new viral video "S**t Liz Lemon Says."
And yes, "I want to go to there" is included!
We can thank Justin Halpern and his "S**t My Dad Says" for the "S**t They Say" phenomenon. The online craze has gained momentum since the emergence of the late 2011 YouTube video series "S**t Girls Say."
Now the joke has collided with Tina Fey and the world of 30 Rock.
"S**t Liz Lemon Says" is a montage of Fey's funniest one-liners as Liz Lemon on the Emmy-winning comedy. Slogans featured in the clip include "Shut it down," "blergh" and a few food phrases.
Tina Fey: Blame me for Alec Baldwin's plane debacle >>
Fey's starring vehicle is now three episodes into a sixth season that will likely provide even more zingy barbs from the fictional television writer/chat show hostess, Liz Lemon.
So far this season, art has mirrored life with an ongoing subplot about Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) getting into trouble for making homophobic comments.
In the 30 Rock version, titled "Idiots Are People," the gay community boycotts the network and a contrite Jordan gets in touch with Glad to apologize.
Too bad someone forgot to tell old Tracy that Glad, the trash bag company, and GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, are two separate entities.

This is the most reliable car I have owned, and the most comfortable. Always started regardless of temperature, the only task required of me was to basically put gas in it and drive. It was a wonderful ride, good on gas, low on oil, comfort to max, and looked great as well. Fantastic vehicle.
Alas, all relationships must come to an end, and this one came rather violently. My son totaled this car a month after he got his drivers license. Thank god no one was injured.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

We have discussed Challenge of the Super Friends before, but now we're taking a look at the complete season DVD.
All 16 episodes with the Legion of Doom are included, but that's only half the show. The other half is a continuation from the previous season's format, to give the Wonder Twins something to do. When the series was broken down into half-hour increments for syndication, those episodes were kept to the side, since the LOD episodes were much more popular with comics fans.
However, there are some flaws in the writing of some of these stories, as well as some artistic gaffes. Take for example the episode, "Secret Origins of the Super Friends". Lex Luthor (Stan Jones) schemes to erase Superman, Wonder Woman, & Green Lantern from existence, and for a time, he succeeds. Problem is, and the writers completely whiffed on this point, with Superman gone pro tempore, his imperfect clone, Bizarro, should've been erased as well, because without the Man of Steel, there is no Bizarro.
As we noted in reviewing "History of Doom", Giganta (Ruth Forman) was originally a foe of Wonder Woman, but with the Cheetah (Marianne Aragon) already in the fold, the producers, ignoring the fact that Superman & Batman both had multiple foes on the Legion's roster, decided to assign Giganta to made-for-TV hero Apache Chief, as denoted in the show's opening sequence. The problem with that is, Giganta was attired in the same jungle gear she had in the books.
Funny thing: when Hanna-Barbera was commissioned by NBC to produce 2 live-action specials, they eventually posited Giganta as a girlfriend of the Atom. In the books, that would eventually happen, but not with the Atom we knew (Ray Palmer), but his successor, Ryan Choi. Like, who knew?
The documentary feature, Saturdays, Sleeping Bags, & Super Friends, has comments from comics creators such as Paul Dini, Alex Ross, and DC editor Dan DiDio (who can't write his way out of a paper bag). Whee.
In essence, Dini and Bruce Timm and company reinvented the LOD as the DCAU's version of the Secret Society on Justice League Unlimited nearly 30 years later, but with a larger roster to match the Justice League's, and missing some original LOD members. Not to be confused with the pro wrestling Legion of Doom, which was condensed down to its most iconic members, the Road Warriors, in the 80's.
Looking back now, with the series 3 years away from its 40th anniversary, it's easier to see some of the mistakes the writers made, leaving fans to consider how it could've been done better.
Rating: A-.

Loud Lady :: On Letting Go and Moving on from 2014 (A Guest Post by Fenn of The Honest Badger)
I LOVE New Year's. It is my favorite time of year. I really get into making New Year's Resolutions and talking to EVERYONE about theirs. (Which usually doesn't go well because so many people are far cooler than resolutions, apparently.) I usually start reviewing my year around Thanksgiving and planning my resolutions at the beginning of December and then really solidifying them into a tangible list by the end of the year. But this year, I haven't felt it at all.
If you read my blog, you might have read about my job woes and my relationship woes and the rough year I've had. But if you're not a reader of my blog, let me recap :
I started the year by quitting a job in retail that I had hoped would lead to management and a career. The management was just AWFUL and all of the management team has since left that store. I followed that up with a day of telemarketing (no). Then I found event marketing which was high paying and suited my personality. The first company had a change in management and so I left after 3.5 months. The second company seemed like a great fit until I learned that my manager thought I didn't fit into her standards despite my crushing the numbers and goals. There was a lot of gossiping and backstabbing. I left at the end of the season, which was 5 months later. I had secured another position with an event marketing company who promptly lied to me and still hasn't paid me for my training. I found another job in retail, very low man on the totem pole. I also found another job in event marketing that lasted for three days. If you're counting, that's seven jobs in one year.
I started the year in a relationship that I was fully devoted to even though my friends were already telling me to jump ship. In January, we had been together for three months and were starting to see nothing but problems that would continue until the demise of the relationship in July and cutting off all contact in September. During that time, I was manipulated and emotionally abused while my ex received all of my money as I paid for all of his rent and utilities and groceries and weed and going out...which left me with nothing. Event marketing was high paying and I saw the end of that relationship and my financial freedom so I splurged and opened a credit card and bought a new laptop and a new iPad for my mom. (Yes, ours were old and broken.) I also had car issues and had to open a line of credit to pay for the repairs or would have no car. But I left event marketing before receiving a couple of large paychecks I had budgeted for and am now working for just above minimum wage, scrambling to make $100 a week and am broke as fuck.
I ran a marathon in January which was the culmination of two years of training. After the marathon, I fell into a depression and didn't run for the next eight months. I gained back all the weight I had lost in training and started to feel badly about my body for the first time in over a decade.
So when I started looking toward next year, I just couldn't. I was just so totally done. All I could feel was failure. So much failure, like a fucking mountain on my shoulders. When Stephanie asked me to contribute a guest post to inspire ladies to live loudly in 2015, I felt like I was probably the least qualified person to do so. If I couldn't get inspired about my own life, then how could I ever inspire anyone else? So I started by writing a post on my own blog and came to a really heavy and awesome realization.
If you want to move on and live loudly and all you can see is everything you didn't accomplish and everything that didn't live up to your standards, YOU WILL NEVER GET ANYWHERE. You will carry the baggage of your past and it will weight you down and shove your face into the ground and all you will be able to see and taste is dirt and you will not be able to look at your future.
Maybe your year hasn't been so shitty as mine. Maybe you've only had a few setbacks. But sometimes, even small setbacks can feel bigger than they are. It's easy to look at everything that sucks and much, much harder to realize this is an obstacle you can overcome. Maybe it's a speed bump or maybe it's fucking Everest, but you can climb that fucking mountain and accomplish your goals.
I had to realize this in order to move on. So when I was feeling really shitty, I hopped online and reapplied for community college. I decided that if life was super happy to fuck with me, I was going to escape to the fantasy land of college. Even better, community college, which is cheap and lets in EVERYONE. And while I was doing that, I'd think of whatever my next step is. Which is when I had another realization.
After I applied for community college, I realized : I ran a fucking marathon and I'm in training to run another one. I am in a relationship with an amazing man and it is so loving and supportive that it actually feels too good to be true. I have a job with a better management team and future possibilities, so there is still hope that I will work up into that management job I want. And if that doesn't happen, then I'll stay in college and become a teacher...which is something I've wanted to do since I was a child, but one discouraging voice told me I wouldn't fit and I fucking listened. Why did I do that? Which leads me to my last point:
People in this world are really good at shitting all over my parade. They are really good at pointing out all my flaws, or everything they don't like about me that they think I should change. People are super great at getting offended or being flaky or just not being the best fitting piece in my puzzle. And not one of those people knows me like I do. I go to sleep with myself every night and I wake up with myself every morning and everything else and everyone else can change but I will always have myself. So why am I listening to anyone who doesn't want to do anything but totally support me and tell me I can do absolutely everything that I want to do?
So I'm not doing it anymore. I'm listening to me and I'm letting go and I'm moving on and looking forward to a brighter year with more possibility. Because at the end of the day, I am resilient and resourceful and if something doesn't work out, I can always do something else.
And you know what?
So can you.

Porting to GLES from GL
This guide is based on my limited knowledge (I do have barely the requierement) on the subject. I'm open to get edits on it, in fact it is encouraged :) --Sebt3 17:05, 24 February 2011 (MET)
You might want to try libGL before following the instructions on this page.
- a working toolchain
- average C/C++ knowledge
- basic knowledge of how GL or GLES works
- read OpenGL_ES_1.1_Tutorial
You might also want to have a look at others' work in this matter :
- http://pickle.gp2x.de/source/kenlabes-src.zip
- http://pickle.gp2x.de/gish_src.zip
- http://sebt3.openpandora.org/src/briquolo-0.5.7-pandora.tar.gz
- http://sebt3.openpandora.org/src/zaz-1.0.0-pandora.tar.gz
- http://paeryn.myby.co.uk/pandora/sdl-ball.tar.bz2
- ...
For more references, have a look to :
Before starting
Choose a simple GL game for your first experience. Working with a large and complex codebase is not what you want to do at first.
To have a good view of what you'll need to do, here is a simple (and incomplete) bash script that will list you all the code lines you'll need to work with :
#!/bin/sh search() { find . \( -name "*.h" -o -name "*.c" -o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.cxx" \) -exec grep -Hn "$*" {} \; } listIssues() { search SDL_WM_GrabInput search SDL_WarpMouse search SDL_GL search GL_CLAMP search glColor|grep -v glColor4f search glPushAttrib search glPolygonMode search GL_QUADS |grep glDrawArrays search SDL_Init search SDL_OPENGL search SDL_ShowCursor search glClearDepth search SDL_Quit search gluBuild2DMipmaps search glTexImage2D search glBegin search glX search glRect search glNewList } listIssues|sort -u
Run that from the source directory. The fewer lines displayed, the better.
If your project uses some GL libraries, get that to build first. Here are some libraries ported to GLES :
- GLU : http://code.google.com/p/glues/ (you might want to grab a binary version with headers in zaz or briquolo pnd)
- FTGL : http://code.google.com/p/ftgles/ (I do have a fixed version here; if you prefer a binary version, get that in the zaz PND)
Getting it to build
Your first goal is to have it built. You'll probably need to hack the build system.
- If it's just Makefiles, replace -lGL with -lGLES_CM -lEGL -lX11.
- If it's an autotools project, have a look at how it's done in briquolo for references. (take a look at configure.ac, and follow the enable_gles bits ;) Dont forget the Makefile.am too. Once your edits are in, autoreconf is your friend.)
Make sure your build system (or your toolchain) will also set defines some marker to know if it needs to build GL or GLES code. Having one too for pandora specific hack might show itself useful too. I'm using "-DPANDORA -DHAVE_GLES" myself.
Now try to build it. You'll have errors in the build process. To fix them, for now, just #ifdef out the offending lines. Here is what to do with the include instructions :
#if !defined(HAVE_GLES) #include <GL/gl.h> #else #include <GLES/gl.h> #endif
Other offending code, should be #ifdef out like this :
#if !defined(HAVE_GLES) glClearDepth(1.0f); #endif
At the end of this process you'll end up with a broken pandora binary. Let's now fix it :D
Adding the EGL context
Grab the eglport package Pickle has built here. You will need to add a call to its 3 functions in the sources (make sure, also, that eglport.c is built and linked in the build process). Here is how your sources should look at the end :
#if !defined(HAVE_GLES) #include <GL/gl.h> #else #include <GLES/gl.h> #include "eglport.h" #endif #include <SDL/SDL.h> int main( void ) { // other stuff here SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO ); // some more initialisations SDL_Surface* screen; #if !defined(HAVE_GLES) screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( 800, 600, 0, SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_OPENGL | SDL_FULLSCREEN); #else screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( 800, 480, 0, SDL_SWSURFACE | SDL_FULLSCREEN ); if (EGL_Open( 800, 480 )) exit(1); #endif // the event loop while( quit == 0 ) { // management of the even and the game #if !defined(HAVE_GLES) SDL_GL_SwapBuffers(); #else EGL_SwapBuffers(); #endif } // probably some more clean-ups here #if defined(HAVE_GLES) EGL_Close(); #endif SDL_Quit(); return 0; }
Please note that :
- SDL_SetVideoMode arguments have to be those given here (aka good resolution, and no SDL_OPENGL flag)
- EGL_Open goes just after SDL_SetVideoMode, the parameters are the same resolution used in SDL_SetVideoMode
- All SDL_GL_SwapBuffers calls have to be converted to EGL_SwapBuffers calls.
- EGL_Close is called before quitting SDL (or closing the video if that's separated in your original source).
When built, your source should run on the Pandora cleanly (ok, you'll have a black screen, but that's expected as we haven't converted the drawing yet).
In addition to these instructions, I had to add "#include <X11/Xlib.h>" and change all the comments from line to block in eglport.c --lunixbochs
- That was in old version (of eglport), you shouldn't need it it new version --M-HT
Converting the easy stuff
This part could have been done while getting the game built, but I preferred splitting the 2 processes for readability. Feel free to work as you please :D. Remember that all you have #ifdef out in the building part has to be converted; don't forget anything.
GLES only supports float; double (aka GLdouble) doesn't work. So :
- any GLdouble should be converted to GLfloat
- all GL function calls ending with a "d" should have the d replaced with f.
Here are other know conversions :
#define GLdouble GLfloat #define GL_CLAMP GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE #define glClearDepth glClearDepthf #define glOrtho glOrthof #define glFrustum glFrustumf
GLES only knows glColor4f as the function to create a color; all the glColor3f, glColor3d, glColor4d or any other color conventions have to be converted to glColor4f. If you only have 3 arguments, the last have to be 1.0f (as no transparency).
#define glColor4fv(a) glColor4f(a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3]) #define glColor3fv(a) glColor4f(a[0], a[1], a[2], 1.0f) #define glColor3f(a,b,c) glColor4f(a, b, c, 1.0f)
Converting the immediate mode
If you have read OpenGL_ES_1.1_Tutorial, you already have a good idea of what needs to be changed here. Here are a few other examples to help you in your process :
1) a simple quad with no texture or color :
#if !defined(HAVE_GLES) glBegin(GL_QUADS); glVertex2f(-10,-10); glVertex2f(10,-10); glVertex2f(10,10); glVertex2f(-10,10); glEnd(); #else GLfloat q3[] = { -10,-10, 10,-10, 10,10, -10,10 }; glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, q3); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); #endif
2) a textured quad :
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, carac->TextureName); #if !defined(HAVE_GLES) glBegin(GL_QUADS); glTexCoord2f(0,0); glVertex3f(pos[0]-tailleX/2, pos[1]-tailleY/2, 0); glTexCoord2f(1,0); glVertex3f(pos[0]+tailleX/2, pos[1]-tailleY/2, 0); glTexCoord2f(1,1); glVertex3f(pos[0]+tailleX/2, pos[1]+tailleY/2, 0); glTexCoord2f(0,1); glVertex3f(pos[0]-tailleX/2, pos[1]+tailleY/2, 0); glEnd(); #else GLfloat vtx1[] = { pos[0]-tailleX/2, pos[1]-tailleY/2, 0, pos[0]+tailleX/2, pos[1]-tailleY/2, 0, pos[0]+tailleX/2, pos[1]+tailleY/2, 0, pos[0]-tailleX/2, pos[1]+tailleY/2, 0 }; GLfloat tex1[] = { 0,0, 1,0, 1,1, 0,1 }; glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY); glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vtx1); glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, tex1); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glDisableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY); #endif
3) a colored quad (note that, as GL is a state machine, the color is only showed once in the GL code, while it is copied for every point in gles) :
#if !defined(HAVE_GLES) glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor3d( .1, .1, .7); glVertex3d(0, 0, 0); glVertex3d(0, -pbarheight, 0); glColor3d( 0, 0, 0.5); glVertex3d((startupProgress / startupProgressSteps) * pbarwidth, -pbarheight, 0); glVertex3d((startupProgress / startupProgressSteps) * pbarwidth, 0, 0); glEnd(); #else GLfloat vtx1[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, -pbarheight, 0, (startupProgress / startupProgressSteps) * pbarwidth, -pbarheight, 0, (startupProgress / startupProgressSteps) * pbarwidth, 0, 0 }; GLfloat col1[] = { .1, .1, .7, 1.0f, .1, .1, .7, 1.0f, 0, 0, 0.5, 1.0f, 0, 0, 0.5, 1.0f }; glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glEnableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY); glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vtx1); glColorPointer(4, GL_FLOAT, 0, col1); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glDisableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY); glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); #endif
#if !defined(HAVE_GLES) glBegin(GL_QUAD_STRIP); // Front glVertex3f(-left, 0, front); // bottom left glVertex3f(-left-wider, height, front+wider); // top left glVertex3f( right, 0, front); // bottom right glVertex3f( right+wider, height, front+wider); // top right // Right glVertex3f( right, 0,-back); // bottom r glVertex3f( right+wider, height,-back-wider); // top r // Back glVertex3f(-left, 0, -back); // bottom right glVertex3f(-left-wider, height, -back-wider); // top right // Left glVertex3f(-left, 0, front); // bottom r glVertex3f(-left-wider, height, front+wider); // top r glEnd(); #else { GLfloat vtx1[] = {-left, 0, front, -left-wider, height, front+wider, right, 0, front, right+wider, height, front+wider}; GLfloat vtx2[] = {right, 0, front, right+wider, height, front+wider, right, 0,-back, right+wider, height,-back-wider}; GLfloat vtx3[] = {right, 0,-back, right+wider, height,-back-wider, -left, 0, -back, -left-wider, height, -back-wider}; GLfloat vtx4[] = {-left, 0, -back, -left-wider, height, -back-wider, -left, 0, front, -left-wider, height, front+wider}; glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vtx1); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vtx2); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vtx3); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vtx4); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); } #endif
5) using int/short :
#if !defined(HAVE_GLES) glBegin(GL_QUADS); glTexCoord2i(0, 1); glVertex2i(-256, -256); glTexCoord2i(0, 0); glVertex2i(-256, 256); glTexCoord2i(1, 0); glVertex2i(256, 256); glTexCoord2i(1, 1); glVertex2i(256, -256); glEnd(); #else GLshort vtx1[] = { -256, -256, -256, 256, 256, 256, 256, -256 }; GLshort tex1[] = { 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1 }; glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY); glVertexPointer(2, GL_SHORT, 0, vtx1); glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_SHORT, 0, tex1); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glDisableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY); #endif
5) glRect :
#ifndef HAVE_GLES glRecti ( dx + min[0], dy + min[1], dx + max[0], dy + max[1] ) ; #else GLshort vtx1[] = { dx + min[0], dy + min[1], dx + min[0], dy + max[1], dx + max[0], dy + max[1], dx + max[0], dy + min[1]}; glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glVertexPointer(2, GL_SHORT, 0, vtx1); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN,0,4); glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); #endif
Note that the last argument of glDrawArrays is the number of points. In these examples, that's always 4 because these all have 4 points. You might want to change that if your object has more (or less) than these 4 points.
Here is a list of conversions between GL to GLES draw modes :
- GL_TRIANGLES -> GL_TRIANGLES (or GL_LINE_LOOP if glPolygonMode is set to GL_LINE)
All textures have to be loaded with dimensions in powers of 2. See GLES2D sources and GLES2D_p2 function for an easy method of working around that. Briquolo had a more advanced method of doing so thanks to Paeryn (it also actually scaled the texture to that given size).
When loading textures with glTexImage2D, the only supported formats are GL_ALPHA, GL_RGB, GL_RGBA, GL_LUMINANCE, or GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA. Arguments for internal format and format(3 and 7) must be the same. Note: one common situation is where the original program uses 3 or 4 (which is valid for opengl) for internal format and GL_RGB or GL_RGBA for format. GLES requires the 3 to be GL_RGB or 4 to be GL_RGBA. GLES Example:
glTexImage2D( target, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, pixels);
Display Lists
GL Functions: glGenLists, glCallList, glCallLists, glDeleteLists, glNewList
This is a feature provided by GL to allow the application to assign a group of GL commands to a display list. This list is remembered by the graphics card and the application only has to call the list once to get the gpu to rerun all of the assigned commands. GLES does not support this feature and must rerun the set of commands any time the list would have been called. Info on Display Lists
Known issues
- glPushAttrib, glPopAttrib and their client versions don't exist. You'll have to manage these states yourself. Another good way is to have all disabled at all times and only enable what is needed at the right time. and see racer sources (http://sebt3.openpandora.org/src/?f=racer-pandora-src.tar.bz2) to get a partial implementation
- SDL_WM_GrabInput and SDL_WarpMouse might cause soft freeze of your game. If it does, #ifndef PANDORA them :)

text: I don't have a strong religion on plural TLDs. For that matter, I don't have strong feelings for or against closed generics either, another new gTLD issue that has recently been discussed even though it is not mentioned in the rules new gTLD applicants had to rely on. What I do care about is predictability of process. Yet, as Beijing showed, the ICANN community has an uncanny ability to throw last-minute wrenches at its own Great Matter, as Cardinal Wolsey called Henry VIII's plan to divorce Catherine of Aragon. And we should all remember that the new gTLD program is our own master plan. It is born out of the community's bottom-up process for developing policy. We all own it. We all sanctioned it when it came up through our community and was given a green light by the people we elected to represent us on the GNSO Council, the body responsible for making gTLD policy. So we should now all feel responsible for seeing it to fruition.Impressed by governments So can this issue of plural TLDs that came out of nowhere during the ICANN Beijing meeting week cause yet more delays to the Great Matter that is the new gTLD program? First of all, I was surprised to see it mentioned in the GAC Communiqué which provides the ICANN Board with Advice on the new gTLD program as required by the program's Bible, the Applicant Guidebook. The GAC said it believes: "that singular and plural versions of the string as a TLD could lead to potential consumer confusion. Therefore the GAC advises the ICANN Board to (…) Reconsider its decision to allow singular and plural versions of the same strings." For governments to react so quickly shows that they now have the pulse of what goes on outside their own circle like never before. I digress here, but I think this is an extremely important development we should all take great pride in. The government representatives that attend ICANN meetings are knowledgeable and engaged in the community they are part of in a way that is probably unique in the world of governance. The rest of us may not always agree with their decisions or opinions, but we cannot disagree with their level of commitment. To the point that individual GAC members coming straight out of a gruelling 8 days of meetings will not hesitate to stand up in the public forum and give voice to their own personal opinions only a few minutes after the GAC Beijing Communiqué was published. I am impressed. But what about that advice? Will plural TLDs give rise to user confusion and should this debate even be opened at this time? And make no mistake, having GAC Advice on the matter is not the same as discussing it over coffee. Section 22.214.171.124 of the Applicant Guidebook is very clear: "If the Board receives GAC Advice on New gTLDs stating that it is the consensus of the GAC that a particular application should not proceed, this will create a strong presumption for the ICANN Board that the application should not be approved. If the Board does not act in accordance with this type of advice, it must provide rationale for doing so".Stay the course So will this advice from governments cause the new gTLD program to be delayed whilst its rules are rewritten for the umpteenth time? Not necessarily. ICANN is definitely learning fast these days. With a new business-oriented CEO to provide guidance on the importance of managing a project of this magnitude with some measure of predictability, the Board itself is showing increasing confidence to stay the course. ICANN Chairman Steve Crocker has said that as far as the ICANN Board is concerned, although the word of governments carries weight, it is not the be all and end all. "We have a carefully constructed multi-stakeholder process," Crocker explained in a video interview recorded at the end of the Beijing meeting. "We want very much to listen to governments, and we also want to make sure there's a balance." That is reassuring. The Applicant Guidebook makes no mention of plural TLDs. Not one. These are the rules by which applicants have constructed their submissions for a TLD to ICANN. It is on the basis of this guidebook that they have defined their business models and done what ICANN itself was asking them to do: build a viable business and operational plan to operate a TLD. The rules simply cannot be changed every couple of months. In what world is it OK to ask applicants to follow a process and then, once that process is closed, revisit it time and again and force change on those applicants? Would governments tolerate this in their own business dealings? Would those community members who call for rules revisions on a despairingly regular basis put up with it in their everyday commercial ventures? So now governments have called upon the ICANN Board to act. But the Board always intended to keep TLD evaluations independent from those with interests in the outcomes. That is why evaluation panels were constituted, instead of getting ICANN Staff to evaluate applicants directly. And that is why we should not attempt to reopen and rearrange decisions of an expert panel basing its analysis on the program's only rulebook, the Applicant Guidebook as it stood when the new gTLD application window closed. After all, parties that disagree with panel outcomes have the objection process to address their concerns.Singularity or plurality? And anyway, is there really a case for prohibiting singular and plural TLDs? After all, singulars and plurals have always existed together at the second level and no-one ever took exception to that. Why is the fact that the domains car.com and cars.com are not owned and operated by the same entity less confusing to users than the equivalent singular/plural pair as a TLD? Wouldn't trying to limit the use of singular and plural TLDs amount to attempted content control and free speech limitations? Isn't this call to limit singular and plural use just a very English-language centric view of the new gTLD world? Is it true that adding or taking away the letter "S" at the end of a string means going from a singular to a plural form in every language, for every alphabet, for every culture? And if not, then how can a level playing field be guaranteed for applicants and users alike if new rules are introduce that prohibit singular/plural use in languages and alphabets that the mostly English-speaking ICANN community understands, but the wider world is not suited to? Can it really be argued that plurals are confusing, but phonetically similar strings aren't? Aren't we over-reaching if we try to convince anyone that .hotel, .hoteles, and .hoteis belong in the same contention set? And if that's true, why isn't it true for their second-level counterparts, like hotel.info, hoteles.info and hoteis.info? As I've stated, I have no real preconceived opinion on the matter. So to try and form one, I am more than happy to listen to the people that have spent months, sometimes years, coming up with realistic ideas for new gTLDs. The applicants themselves. Uniregistry's Frank Shilling thinks that "the GAC (while well-intentioned) has made an extraordinarily short-sighted mistake. For the entire new GTLD exercise to thrive in the very long run, the collective right-of-the-dot namespace simply must allow for the peaceful coexistence of singulars and plurals. There are words with dual meaning that will be affected, this will significantly and unnecessarily hem in future spectrum. Consumers expect singulars and plurals to peacefully coexist. If we want to move to a naming spectrum with tens of thousands of new G's in the future – a namespace which is easy, intuitive and useful for people to navigate, there is just no long term good that can come from setting such a poor precedent today." Donuts, another new gTLD applicant, argues that the Applicant Guidebook sets an appropriately high threshold for string confusion as it is drafted now. Section 22112 of the Guidebook defines a standard for string confusion as being (text highlighted by me) "where a string so nearly resembles another visually that it is likely to deceive or cause confusion. For the likelihood of confusion to exist, it must be probable, not merely possible that confusion will arise in the mind of the average, reasonable Internet user. Mere association, in the sense that the string brings another string to mind, is insufficient to find a likelihood of confusion." Donuts suggest that string similarity exists in today's namespace without leading to user confusion. ".BIZ and .BZ, or .COM and .CO or .CM, for example," says Donuts. "At first glance, association of these strings might suggest similarity, but reporting or evidence that they are visually or meaningfully similar clearly does not exist, and the standard of confusion probability is not met. By these examples, it is clearly difficult to confuse the average, reasonable Internet user. Broader Internet usage, growth in name space, and specificity in identity and expression are the foundation of the new gTLD program, and are suitable priorities for the community. In the interest of consumer choice and competition, multiple strings and the variety and opportunity they present to users should prevail over all but the near certainty of actual confusion." Obviously, these quotes from applicants will have critics dismissing them just because they are from applicants. I can hear now saying "well they would say that, they want new gTLDs to come out asap." Right! And what's wrong with that? Why is it out of place for the people we, the community, have drawn into this through the policy development we approved, to want to get to the end point in a stable and predictable manner after they have invested so much time, effort and resources into this?A professional ICANN is a strong ICANN As usual with these calls for last-minute rule changes, we see the recurring argument that the rest of the world is watching ICANN and waiting for it to trip up and mess this up. And as usual, if we listen to those making this argument, the "this" is such a crucial issue that if it is ignored, the world as we know it may very well end. Really? Aren't ICANN critics more likely to be impressed by the organisation displaying an ability to properly project manage and get to the finish line? After having started a process which has brought in over $350 million in application fees, introduced the ICANN ecosystem to global entities, major companies and international organisations who are used to seeing rules being followed, after having shone the outside world's spotlight on itself like never before, wouldn't that be a real sign that ICANN deserves to be overseeing the Internet's namespace? At this stage, with only a few weeks to go until ICANN declares itself in a position to approve the first TLD delegations, I contend that the real danger to the organisation is lack of predictability in the process being imposed by artificial limitations to the program's scope and rules.

Maybe it wouldn't have happened if she had just stayed in Reno for the summer. Or if her father had turned out to be the man she had wanted him to be instead of the disappointment that she found. Or maybe if Adam hadn't been so beautiful and broken and in need of her love. Maybe then Kristina wouldn't have snorted her first line of crank and maybe then her life wouldn't be spiraling out of control. But maybe doesn't count in the real world, and it certainly won't save Kristina from the monster.

How to Keep Your Pants From Bleeding Onto Your Shoes
When you're wearing a pair of light- to medium-hued shoes, the last thing you want is the dye from your pants to bleed onto your footwear. Unfortunately, certain pants, such as black or dark-rinse jeans, are super-saturated with color, which transfers easily to other fabrics.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Wash your pants according to the care instructions label located on the inside of the garment; this will likely include turning your pants inside out to avoid fading. Set the washing machine on cold for dark colors and warm for light colors. Add color-safe detergent to the wash cycle to help remove excess dyes without stripping your pants of color.
Step 2
Roll your pants up to avoid contact between your pant legs and shoes. If the inside of your pants are free of dye, roll your pants up once to allow contact between the inner facing of your pant legs and shoes. Or, roll your pants up a couple times -- in a neat fold for a preppier look or a messy rolled appearance for a more laid-back vibe -- to inhibit any contact between your pants and shoes.
Step 3
Wear socks over your pants if you're a woman wearing skinny jeans. Choose socks that are tall enough to peek out up to an inch above the height of your shoes; this option is primarily focused toward wearing taller footwear such as ankle boots or knee boots. Pull your socks over your skinnies and then slide your boots on. The socks will prevent contact between your pants and shoes, which are mostly in danger of discoloration along the top edges.
Step 4
Apply a spray protectant to your shoes before wearing them; this product seals the fibers of your shoes to prevent a color transfer. Look for a "waterproofer" product, as repelling water, in addition to dyes, is often one of the main benefits of this type of shoe protectant.

Entertaining With Pretty Pastels
With all of this gorgeous Spring weather we are having I am thinking about getting outdoors and entertaining. We have a fabulous big deck, lush green lawns and a semi tropical garden looking out onto National Park. It captures all the sun and is protected from the wind so it is a perfect garden for entertaining in. We are planning on a street party with all of our favourite neighbours. I think a casual lunch will be in order so the kids can run amuck and the parents can relax. Lots of finger food so people can graze on tasty treats throughout the afternoon. I'll decorate the table with lots of bright Spring pastels, tin buckets of flowers, colourful napkins and tempting platters of food!

Sounkounkou, Heremakono and Sabodala Licences
AXMIN has retained a 20% interest in its Sounkounkou, Sabodala NW and Heremokono explorations licences (the "Senegal Project") located in the Birimian belt of eastern Senegal. Its joint venture partner, Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga") earned an 80% in the Senegal Project in July 2011, by spending US$6 million on exploration.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company announced that as a result of advancing the Gora deposit towards development, AXMIN and its joint venture partner Sabodala Mining Company SARL ("SMC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Teranga, agreed to amend the original 2008 joint venture agreement. The amended joint venture and royalty agreement (the "Agreement") supersedes and replaces the original joint venture agreement. The amended Agreement better reflects AXMIN's interest in Senegal and gives the Company better flexibility to focus its work cost obligations on the Target Area's that AXMIN deems will add most value for its shareholders.
The 2012 Agreement with SMC includes, among other things, the following terms: (a) both parties agree that their respective interests (Teranga–80% and AXMIN–20%) in the Project are divided into Target Areas (being areas subject to exploration) and Remainder Areas (areas not yet subject to exploration); and (b) that both parties will retain all respective interests in all of these areas, until an election is made by AXMIN to convert its 20% interest in a Target Area into a 1.5% NSR or Royalty Interest. AXMIN has made a Royalty Election with respect to the Target Area and SMC will solely fund all finance work costs for each of the Royalty Interests. In addition, AXMIN will have a free carried interest of US$2.5 million, with respect to the Target Area work costs commencing October 1, 2011, after which both parties are to jointly fund the Target Area work costs on a pro-rata basis.
At the date of this report, AXMIN has elected to maintain its 20% interest in all the Target Areas defined in the Agreement and has elected to take a Royalty Interest in the Gora Deposit. Currently under the terms of the Agreement, AXMIN has in excess of $527 in free carried exploration costs remaining in its account.
The Gora deposit, located on the Sounkounkou licence, has a proven and probable reserve, based on a US$1,500 gold price, of 2.1 Mt grading 4.22 g/t Au containing 285,000 ounces. The Measured and Indicated Resource at Gora has increased to 374,000 ounces of gold at 5.0 g/t Au and an Inferred resource of 20,000 ounces grading 3.4 g/t Au.
AXMIN holds a 1.5% NSR royalty interest in the Gora deposit, which is scheduled for production in 2014. The project capital cost is estimated to be $45 to $50 million. Total cash costs for Gora are estimated to average $675 to $700 per ounce which will be mined over an estimated 4-year period. The Project economics based on the proposed operating scenario and a discount rate of 5% return an after tax NPV of $105 million and an IRR of 69 percent at an assumed gold price of $1500 per ounce.
The terms of the joint venture with MDL include:

Article Title
Determinants of Human Fixed-Interval Performance Following Varied Exposure to Reinforcement Schedules
Document Type
Undergraduates given accurate instructions pressed keys for token points under either a variety of reinforcement schedules (variety training) or under a single schedule. Response rates on a fixed-interval (FI) test schedule then were assessed. Experiment 1 compared variety training inclusive of FI-optimal rates (functional) to training excluding such rates (nonfunctional). Paliicipants provided functional training showed low test rates relative to those provided nonfunctional and single-instruction training, implicating responserate history as a determinant of subsequent FI performance. Experiment 2 manipulated functional and nonfunctional variety training, and the correspondence of FI test-phase point densities with those of high-, low-, or both high- and low-rate training components. Performances under FI were affected by density correspondence, suggesting discriminative control of response rate by point density.

PhD in Chemistry
The doctoral program in chemistry prepares individuals for teaching and research in academic institutions, and for research in industrial and governmental positions. To be eligible for admission, students need at least a bachelor's degree in chemistry, or a closely related discipline.
Course Requirements
Students must accumulate 64 credits:
- At least 20 credits of academic coursework (five 4-credit courses).
- Four of these courses must be at or above the 600-level
- Two courses acceptable for graduate credit in mathematics or natural sciences other than chemistry may be substituted for chemistry courses
- The remaining credits should be PhD research credits (CH 901/902 PhD Research in Chemistry)
Courses with a grade lower than a B– are not degree-eligible. The student's major advisor or the Graduate Programs Committee may require that specific non-research courses be taken beyond the requirement. Of the non-research courses, appropriate courses will be determined in consultation with their major advisor, and will be dependent upon the student's background and interests. Students may petition to be excused from non-research courses on the basis of equivalent courses taken elsewhere.
Language Requirement
There is no foreign language requirement for this degree.
Qualifying Examinations
All students who wish to be promoted to PhD candidacy must successfully complete an oral qualifying examination by spring of their second academic year. The oral qualifying examination is intended to test background in subject specialty and ability to think critically, independently, and creatively. Each student is required to write a proposal describing his or her dissertation research project, and to defend it in an oral examination administered by members of the student's Dissertation Advisory Committee. The written proposal should define the background, objectives, significance, and plan of study for the research problem; a bibliography must be included. Recommendations to the department for advancement to PhD candidacy will depend on the results from the oral qualifying examination and on performance in coursework and research.
Dissertation and Final Oral Examination
Candidates shall demonstrate their abilities for independent study in a dissertation representing original research or creative scholarship. A prospectus for the dissertation must be completed and approved by the readers, the director of graduate studies, and the department chair/program director. Candidates must undergo a final oral examination in which they defend their dissertation as valuable contributions to knowledge in their fields and demonstrate a mastery of their fields of specialization in relation to their dissertation. All portions of the dissertation and final oral examination must be completed as outlined in the GRS General Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree.
A PhD student who leaves the program with a master's must accumulate 32 credits:
- At least 20 credits of academic coursework (five 4-credit courses)
- Four of these courses must be at or above the 600 level
- Two courses acceptable for graduate credit in mathematics or natural sciences other than chemistry may be substituted for chemistry courses
- At least 8 credits of research coursework (GRS CH 903/904 MA Research in Chemistry)
