Protostrike tutorials
3 kind of attacks
In Protostrike, you can perform three different kind of attacks.; Rapid Attack, Charged Attack and Special Attack. You use the primary Attack Button to perform both Rapid Attacks and Charged Attacks. Next to it, you'll find the Special Attack Button. for Special Attacks. Please note that even you use the same buttons to perform the different kind of attacks in Protostrike, the mechanics for an attack may differ depending on the weapon.
Rapid Attack: Tap the attack button once or repeatedly to perform Rapid Attacks. It deals a moderate amount of damage and is hard to avoid by dashing but it can't hit players on high grounds.
Charged Attack: Holding the Attack Button will charge your attacks. The Charged Attack will go off automatically after a short delay, but it can be released as soon as the three arrows lit up. Charge Attacks are usually more powerful and they ignore high ground differences.
Special Attack: While having unlimited ammo for both Rapid and Charged Attacks, you'll need to find ammo on the maps before launching a Special Attack. The different weapon categories has its own kind of Special Attack. For example, all Assault Rifles fires a grenade that deals a lot of damage to all enemies in the area while the Repeater Rifles fires a highly damaging shot in a straight line, ignoring walls and other obstacle collisions.
Some boosters in Protostrike can increase attack damage or give you other advantages when performing an attack.
4 weapon categories
Protostrike over 20 weapons, divided in 4 weapon categories. While all weapons have the same setup of Rapid, Charged and Special Attacks, they work differently between the archetypes – Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Handgun and Repeater Rifle. Additionally, each weapon has a unique ability.
Assault Rifle: A great all-round weapons. The range is good and the damage is reliable. Assault Rifle has its own mechanic for charge attacks. You can release the button before reaching three arrows and still deal an increased amount of damage. None of the other weapons work like this. The Special Attack fire a grenade that deals a lot of damage to all enemies in the area.
Shotgun: The Shotgun have the shortest range, so you need to stay close to your opponents to be effective. The Rapid Attack deals damage in a cone, damaging all enemies hit and the Charged Attack deals high damage to a single target. the amount of damage you deal with the Shotgun depends on your distance to the target. The Shotgun Special Attack affect single targets and deal moderate direct damage and the effect of the special vary from weapon to weapon.
Handgun: The Handgun are the most mobile weapons. Since they lack the movement speed penalty while charging that the other weapons suffer from, it's easier to move in and out of combat and position yourself favorably. You are free to move or even dash and jump while performing the Charged and Special Attack. The Charged Attack fire a burst of three shots, the first one dealing the highest amount of damage, and then declining over the next two. The Special Attack fire a salvo of 8 or 10 shots in a quick succession, dealing massive damage.
Repeater Rifle: Repeater Rifles have the longest range of all the weapons in the game. The Charged Attacks are single target attacks that deal moderate damage, but every time you hit, you will charge your weapon, marked by the counter at your character's feet. For each charge, the charge time of attacks will be decreased, up to three times, at which point you can repeatedly press the Attack Button to deliver Charged Attacks at a constant rate. If you fail to connect a shot within a few seconds, you will however lose your charges and be forced to start over. The Repeater Rifle Special Attack fires a highly damaging shot in a straight line and hits several targets at once. It ignores obstacle collisions, so you can easily hit your enemies on the other side of a wall or building.
the Dash buttons three mechanics
One of the most crucial components of the game is the Dash button. It increases your mobility and combat prowess. We have built in three kind of mechanics in the dash button; dash away from attacks, jumping onto buildings and sprinting. The Dash Button has 2 charges and it is up to you to use them wisely while choosing what mechanics you'll perform. You can refill your dash meter by picking up charges on the maps.
Dash: Tap the Dash Button to lunge away from your enemy. Every time you dash your character will be invulnerable for a short amount of time. By learning how to read your opponent you can evade their attacks and avoid lethal damage. Dashing can also remove some deadly debuffs from booster. You can regenerate the dash meter quicker by adding mobility boosters to your combat setup.
Jump: Dashing will allow you to jump up and between structures. Scaling structures offers practical advantages, as players' Rapid Attacks can't hit enemies that has the high ground advantage. You can find signs on the map matching your dash button to show you where you can dash to jump up or between structures.
Sprint: By holding down the dash button your hero will start to sprint. It can needed when approaching a distance enemy or a lifesaver when you're getting low on health.

I had the privilege of photographing the elopement for Amber & Kyle on July 1.
This epic party was put together in just a few weeks after the Bride & Groom won a party bus to Red Rocks to see Umphrey's McGee.
See, Amber & Kyle are what we like to call "UMphreaks" and they actually got engaged earlier this year at Summer Camp Music Festival during the Umphrey's McGee set. A few weeks later, they entered a Facebook contest for a party bus to the band's upcoming Red Rocks show. Amber entered and declared that if she won, the couple would use the 10 VIP tickets on close friends and family, and they would elope that weekend before the show. As fate would have it, they won the contest and I just so happen to love UM as well. After replying to a post for a wedding photographer in the Camp Greensky Facebook group, I received a message from Amber asking me to capture the special event. I reached out to the band, who was more than accommodating, and they also granted me a photo pass to the show so that I could document the ceremony and following shenanigans that would ensue.
The crew from Missouri was also more than accommodating to me and it ended up being the perfect fit, blending my passion of live music photography and weddings, and at my favorite venue on the planet, no less.
I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from that weekend with everyone. It was such a blast and I truly hope this opens doors to more couples who want to go this route; not everyone can acquire a media pass to Red Rocks so this was an extra special bonus for the Newlyweds. I know that if I were going to get married, I'd do it just like this.

Question about Computers & Internet
I just bought my computer yesterday. It has Windows Vista on it. I tried dowmloading Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista on it and it keeps saying: Yahoo Messenger for Vista did not correctly install. This many have been due to other open applications or incomplete installs. Then it tells me to restart my computer and try again. I have not tried to download anything, let a lone Yahoo Messenger. This is the first thing I have tried to do. Can you tell me why it wont allow me to downlaod Yahoo Messenger? Please and Thank You!
Posted by coyoteleigh on
Thank you for your response. This is the special program I already tried to install. If you could walk me through temporarily disabling the User Access Control I would greatly appreicate it! Thank you again.
I tried that ( disabling the USer Account Control) and it still didnt work! It keeps saying....... that the download was unsuccessful......... and it may be due to other open applications or other unsuccessful downloads and tells me totry restarting my computer. I did this and there are no applications open or anything and it still wont work... Any other suggestions?
You need a special version for Vista if it's not what you tried to install already. It can be found here:
Vista also pops up annoying prompts to confirm every system change, which may cause problems. This is caused by User Access Control, and I can walk you through temporarily disabling it if you can't get the above version installed straight away.
Posted on Feb 18, 2008
To disable User Access Control, Goto Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > User Accounts and click "Turn User Account Control on or off". Uncheck the box on the next screen and hit okay - your pc will probably want to restart to make the setting effective.

View Definitions
On February 23, 2015, In The Database Language SQL by Admin
Views (1188)
Relations that are defined with a CREATE TABLE statement in fact exist in the database. That is an SQL system stores tables in some physical organization. They are persistent, in the sense that they can be expected to exist indefinitely and not to change unless they are clearly told to change by an INSERT or one of the other modification statements we examined in "Database Modifications".
There is another class of SQL relations, called views, that do not exist physically. Rather, they are defined by an expression much like a query. Views, in turn, can be queried as if they existed physically, and in some cases, we can even modify view.
Declaring ViewsThe simplest form of view definition is
1. The keywords CREATE VIEW,
2. The name of the view,
3. The keyword AS, and
4. A query Q. This query is the definition of the view. Any time we query the view, SQL behaves as if Q were executed at that time and the query were applied to the relation produced by Q.
That is, a simple view declaration has the form
Example 1 : Assume we want to have a view that is a part of the
Movie(title, year, length, inColor, studioName, producerC#)
relation, particularly, the titles and years of the movies made by Paramount Studios. We can define this view by
1) CREATE VIEW ParamountMovie AS
2) SELECT title, year
3) FROM Movie
4) WHERE studioName = 'Paramount';
First, the name of the view is ParamountMovie, as we see from line (1). The attributes of the view are those listed in line (2), namely title and year. The definition of the view is the query of lines (2) through (4).
Querying ViewsRelation ParamountMovie does not include tuples in the usual sense. Rather, If we query ParamountMovie, the appropriate tuples are obtained from the base table Movie, so the query can be answered. Therefore, we can ask the same query about ParamountMovie twice and get different answers. The reason is that, even though we have not changed the definition of view ParamountMovie, the base table Movie may have changed in the interim.
Example 2 : We may query the view ParamountMovie just as if it were a stored table, for example:
SELECT title
FROM ParamountMovie
WHERE year = 1979;
The definition of the view ParamountMovie is used to turn the query above into a new query that addresses only the base table Movie. We shall show how to convert queries on views to queries on base tables in "Interpreting Queries Involving Views". Though, in this simple case it is not hard to infer what the example query about the view means. We observe that ParamountMovie differs from Movie in only two ways:
1. Only attributes title and year are produced by ParamountMovie.
2. The condition studioName = 'Paramount' is part of any WHERE clause about ParamountMovie.
Since our query wants only the title produced, (1) does not present a problem. For (2), we need only to introduce the condition studioName = 'Paramount' into the WHERE clause of our query. Then, we can use Movie in place of ParamountMovie in the FROM clause, assured that the meaning of our query is preserved. Therefore, the query:
SELECT title
FROM Movie
WHERE studioName = 'Paramount' AND year = 1979;
is a query about the base table Movie that has the same effect as our original query about the view ParamountMovie. Note that it is the job of the SQL system to do this translation. We show the reasoning process only to indicate what a query about a view means.
Example 3 : It is also possible to write queries involving both views and base tables. An example is
SELECT DISTINCT starName
FROM ParamountMovie, StarsIn
WHERE title = movieTitle AND year = movieYear;
This query asks for the name of all stars of movies made by Paramount. Note that the use of DISTINCT assures that stars will be listed only once, even if they appeared in several Paramount movies.
Example 4 : Let us look at a more complex query used to define a view. Our goal is a relation MovieProd with movie titles and the names of their producers. The query defining the view involves both relation
Movie(title, year, length, inColor, studioName, producerC#)
from which we get a producer's certificate number, and the relation
MovieExec(name, address, cert#, netWorth)
where we connect the certificate to the name. We may write:
CREATE VIEW MovieProd AS
SELECT title, name
FROM Movie, MovieExec
WHERE producerC# = cert#;
We can query this view as if it were a stored relation. For example, to find the producer of Gone With the Wind, ask:
SELECT name
FROM MovieProd
WHERE title = 'Gone With the Wind';
AS with any view, this query is treated as if it were an equivalent query over the base tables alone, such as:
SELECT name
FROM Movie, MovieExec
WHERE producerC# = cert# AND title = 'Gone With the Wind';
Renaming AttributesSometimes, we might prefer to give a view's attributes names of our own choosing, rather than use the names that come out of the query defining the view. We may specify the attributes of the view by listing them, surrounded by parentheses, after the name of the view in the CREATE VIEW statement. For instance, we could rewrite the view definition of Example 4 as:
CREATE VIEW MovieProd(movieTitle, prodName) AS
SELECT title, name
FROM Movie, MovieExec
WHERE producer# = cert#;
The view is the same, but its columns are headed by attributes movieTitle and prodName instead of title and name

A good intro into the conflict between England and the IRA.
Audience Reviews for Shake Hands With the Devil
Great acting by Cagney complimented with solid work from everyone else makes this compelling viewing. Besides showing how impassioned furor can go too far and twist good men's souls this is a tense study of a group of freedom fighters. Good use of locations and atmospheric filming add to the tone of this and make it well worth catching. One of Cagney's last films before his twenty year retirement.

While "Gravity" won a leading six awards at Sunday's BAFTAs, including Best British Film. its fiercest Oscar rival — "12 Years a Slave" — claimed the Best Picture prize. However, "12 Years a Slave" won just one other award — Best Actor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) — out of 10 bids.
It had been expected to prevail in at least five races, including both supporting acting categories as well as adapted screenplay. Had it taken these prizes and perhaps one or two more like an upset in Best Director, it would have solidified its status as the presumptive Best Picture winner at the Oscars.
RELATED: Complete list of BAFTA winners
That "12 Years a Slave" couldn't win awards that seemed like certainties is troublesome, and even more so given that Oscar voting began on Friday and runs till next Tuesday (Feb. 25).
Sure, the last five films to take home the top BAFTA went on to triumph at the Oscars too. However, the winner of the BAFTA is decided by a purely popular vote (i.e., in a field of five nominees, it is possible to win with just 20% + 1 vote) while the academy uses a preferential ballot which rewards the film that is able to build the broadest consensus and is the highest ranked on 50% + 1 ballots.
And with only two wins out of 10 nominations, "12 Years a Slave" was certainly not the film around which BAFTA voters rallied this year. Rather, that was "Gravity" which went six for 11. Another Oscar hopeful — "American Hustle" — won three awards while "The Great Gatsby" took two.
But don't BAFTA voters always spread the awards around?
They did that last year when "Lincoln" won just one of its 10 BAFTA nominations — Best Actor for Daniel Day-Lewis. "Lincoln" lost Best Picture to "Argo," which claimed just three awards in all. The big winner was "Les Miserables" which took home four trophies while a quartet of films — "Amour," Django Unchained," Life of Pi" and "Skyfall" — each won a pair of prizes.
RELATED: 'Gravity' wins six BAFTAs, '12 Years a Slave' takes just two
However, in each of the previous three years, the film that won Best Picture at both BAFTA and the Oscars was the big winner of the night at the BAFTAs.
In 2011, "The Artist" won seven awards while "Hugo" and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" took two apiece.
In 2010, "The King's Speech" won seven as well, with "The Social Network" claiming three and "Inception" two.
And in 2009, "The Hurt Locker" won six while "Avatar," "Up" and "The Young Victoria" each won a pair.
And we saw that sweep effect this year, with "Gravity" taking six, including a surprise win for Best British Film. So, why did it not win Best Picture too?
That "Gravity" was in contention for both while "12 Years a Slave" was not allowed voters a way to reward both films with a best picture prize. The homegrown award has come to be seen as a pretty nice consolation prize. Indeed, since the British academy reintroduced Best British Film in 1992, separate from the top prize for Best Picture, only one movie — "The King's Speech" (2010) — has won both.
This year, we were predicting that "Philomena would win Best British Film. While it lost that race to "Gravity," it edged out "12 Years a Slave" for the Adapted Screenplay prize. Yes, "Philomena" scribes Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope have won BAFTAs on the TV side. However, for Oscar frontrunner John Ridley to lose this race must make us question the depth of support for "12 Years a Slave" with the academy.
Remember, upwards of 600 academy members are also BAFTA voters. That they also snubbed both of the supporting performances in "12 Years a Slave" was another shock.
Michael Fassbender was predicted to prevail easily in the supporting actor race. After all, each of his first two collaborations with "12 Years" helmer Steve McQueen — "Hunger" (2009); "Shame" (2012) — had contended for Best British Film with the former losing to "Man on Wire" and the latter to "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy." Fassbender had reaped respective bids for Rising Star (losing to Noel Clarke) and Best Actor (Jean Dujardin won here for "The Artist" before repeating at the Oscars.)
Lupita Nyongo lost to Jennifer Lawrence ("American Hustle") whose last victory had been at Globes. It was not thought that her star power would be able to overcome the momentum for Nyongo, who claimed the SAG and Critics' Choice awards. But perhaps that was just BAFTA voters making up for giving Best Actress last year to Emmanuelle Riva ("Amour") over Lawrence who went on to win the Oscar for "Silver Linings Playbook."

Whilst it is not an area that town and parish councils usually get involved in, there are some key actions that can be taken that can help to increase active lifestyles, reduce air pollution and enhance the local economy. The council's transport strategy outlines some of these opportunities while highlighting key roles for other stakeholders including the planning authority Mendip District Council, Somerset County Council and transport providers.
The report and action plan are available here and here. At Town Matters on the 27th September 2017 the strategic priorities were agreed which include:
- Research into travel needs
- Promoting active travel, such as the Missing Link School Travel Challenge
- Lobby Somerset for better cycling routes
- Planning – support and lobby for mix of work, housing and services, walkable neighbourhoods, safe walking and cycling routes
- Reducing fossil fuels – lift share, electric vehicles, public transport
- Exploring alternatives – tailoring solutions to meet mobility needs
Transport Work So Far…
Here are some of the activities we've been undertaking to reduce the impact of transport in Frome so far:
- We secured funding from the DfT in 2014 to set up a community car club. Co-Wheels offer two efficient petrol vehicles for affordable hire, enabling households to avoid the cost and hassle of running a second car.
- We help to facilitate the Frome and Village Bus Users Group and promote bus use, for example through distributing bus timetables and the annual Catch the bus week. We also helped to support the set up of a weekly village to Frome bus service.
- We are working with the train operators to get better services for Frome
- We helped to secure Section 106 money to facilitate improvements at Frome Station. This includes better signage and an accessible bus stop
- We secured funding to offer free and subsidised cycle classes and bike maintenance, in partnership with Sustainable Frome
- We secured free electric charge points for cars (and bikes) at the Cheese and Grain and are looking for further locations for additional charge points. A map of these points is available here
- We are promoting lift-share and other carbon cutting transport methods
- We have two electric bikes available for hire from Cycology – book on line here
- We set up a volunteer driver scheme to enable people without easy access to transport to access the things they need – we always need more drivers, even an hour a month is a great help – more info here
- We also provide information on public transport and can book coach travel at our information point at the town hall. More information on public transport is available here

2017-2018 Arts Season
Our 2017-2018 Arts season includes the fall play, The Kentucky Cycle by Robert Schenkkan, the student-directed one act play festival in winter, a spring musical production of Fiddler on the Roof, and a faculty-directed, student-written project in May. In addition to Back à Dos theater performances, there will be several concerts, musical events, and art shows throughout the year, including the winter arts evening, spring concert, grade 12 option theater performances, and the IB art show.
Fall Production
The Kentucky Cycle by Robert Schenkkan, directed by Brad Cooreman
This Pulitzer Prize winning cycle of short plays explores American mythology, and especially that of the American West. Spanning over two hundred years of history, it tells the intertwined stories of three fictional families struggling over a portion of land in the Cumberland Plateau. As the whole cycle runs about 5 hours, it will be performed in two parts, in alternation.
Winter Arts Evening
January 19 at 5:00pm
Theater performances will begin at 5:00pm in the Black Box Theater; followed by a concert in the gym at 7:00pm.
Student-Directed One Act Play Festival
January 25 and 26 at 7:00pm
January 27 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm
The Morpheus Quartet by John Glore, directed by Hannah Chan
3:56AM. Led by their feverous subconscious minds, a string quartet learns to reestablish the harmonious links between themselves through a thick weave of dreams that pull out painful memories from their pasts. With the strength and comfort of Schubert's D Minor Quartet, the musicians of The Morpheus Quartet learn once more what it is to experience fear, loss, and the beauty of playing clear, indescribable music.
Dr Fritz, or: The Forces of Light by David Ives, directed by Catherine Hayes
When an American tourist comes down with food poisoning in Brazil, he goes searching for the legendary local Dr. Fritz to cure his ill. Instead, he meets a woman named Maria who claims to be his assistant. Only, Maria is not exactly who she says she is...
Cold Reading by Paul Dooley, directed by Madeline Holtz
A mysterious man appears in a producer's office with one request: that he read aloud from a manuscript the man has brought with him. Tensions rise as the eerie cold reading begins, and the line between fiction and reality begins to dissolve…
"The Spot" by Steven Dietz, directed by Gillian Kelley
All election campaigns need to reach out via the media, to share information with transparency and make their case to the voters that they are trustworthy, honest and will lead positive change. Well….. maybe?! Learn what is really going on behind the scenes, as a team prepares a political ad in "The Spot."
Naomi in the Living Room by Christopher Durang, directed by Joshua Merwise
This uproarious comedy takes its audience through a whirlwind of emotion—jumping manically from strange and disturbing to absurdly hilarious! This piece will remind the audience that we're all a bit crazy sometimes, so the only way to really enjoy life is to learn to laugh about it!
The Game by Louise Bryant, directed by Chloe Verbestel
The fate of the world is in the hands of two individuals … Life and Death. In this fast paced One Act, we learn that all is controlled by the roll of the die. As these two characters' frustrations grow, the events of the world are brought to light and tested. How many must be sacrificed for them to learn? Or will they ever learn their actions have consequences?
Spring Musical: Fiddler on the Roof
Music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and book by Joseph Stein
Based on Tevye and his Daughters and other tales by Sholem Aleichem
Directed by Michelle Haner, with Musical Direction by Philip Lenberg and Vocal Direction by Melinda Becker
March 21, 23, 27 and 29 at 7:00pm
March 25 at 2:00pm
Set in a small Jewish community in Russia in 1905, Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of a poor Jewish dairyman, Tevya, and his family. This classic musical features a beloved score and offers a prism through which to explore themes of tradition and change, of deep roots and sudden exile. It captures how the routines, relationships, beliefs and dreams of the individual can be shaped, challenged, buffeted - and even upended - by forces beyond one's control.
Our vision will unfold in a Chagall-inspired world – vibrant, poetic, and fantastical. It includes choreography by Katy Alanize Rous, whose company, World Dance Fusion, performs 30 varieties of cultural dance. Cast training has included visits to the Russian Cultural Center for Russian folk dance classes as well as an introduction to both Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish dance traditions.
To expand the reach and reflection of the piece, Assistant Director Adam Teich has organized a pre-show salon series, with talks by Yedida Kanfer of the JFCS Holocaust Center (on themes of exile, faith, and resilience) and Deborah Eliezer of foolsFURY Theater company (on the broader theme of diaspora and exile). Yedida Kanfer will speak pre-show, at 6:15 on Tuesday, March 27 and Deborah Eliezer, pre-show at 1:15 on Sunday, March 25.
IB Art Show
March 23 at 5:00pm

French Bac Option Theater Performances
May 10 at 4:30pm
May 11 at 7:00pm
The May Project: "A gallimaufry of the dreams of teenagers"
May 17 at 7:00pm
May 18 at 4:30pm
"A gallimaufry of the dreams of teenagers" is an original collaborative play, created under the direction of Franck Bessone. The creative team started with a general theme, "Being the same, being different," then, for the first four months of the process, students conducted improvisations, games, discussions, and writing to generate material based on the students' own experiences and ideas. Adults from our community were also brought into the project, but during the first four months, we worked separately.
During Winter break, director Franck Bessone gathered together all the material, writing and notes and, with the help of librarian Aidan Stone, put together a "gallimaufry." The word was brought by one of the students and means "a hodgepodge," which appealed to Franck and Aidan, especially upon discovering it comes from Middle French galimafree (a stew made with various meats).
The play offers glimpses of the lives of different high school students - probably in an international school. It touches upon themes such as consciousness, family, friendship, video games, gods (or goddesses), gender, race, feelings, sexuality, poetry, and spirituality.
Our vision is unfolding in a scenic-gallimaufry with fight choreography, ensemble movement, dance, and playful situations, relayed with a light touch, rather than a heavy message. The project is accompanied by Assistant Directors and Stage Managers Fatou Ouedrago and Charlotte Meyer.
Spring Concert

First application of the Atlas io system outside of infectious diseases
Bath, UK, 15 April, 2015. Atlas Genetics Ltd ("Atlas Genetics" or the "Company"), the ultra-rapid 'test and treat' molecular diagnostics company, today announces that it has entered into a collaboration with a major pharmaceutical company to develop a diagnostic test, expanding capabilities beyond infectious diseases.
The io® system is a highly novel molecular diagnostic system developed initially for the ultra-rapid diagnosis of a broad range of infectious diseases. It is based on a patent-protected electrochemical sensor technology that combines speed, accuracy and low manufacturing costs.
The fully integrated cartridge contains all reagents on board and is designed to receive an unprocessed clinical specimen. The cartridge is then inserted into the reader instrument which then completes the three-stage process of sample preparation, DNA amplification and electrochemical detection. Each cartridge can carry out up to 24 different tests from a single patient sample. This new companion diagnostic collaboration is the first outside of infectious disease.
Dr John Clarkson, Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Genetics, commented: "We are delighted to be exploring this exciting new use of the io® system. Our superior multiplexing capability allows for significant future menu expansion across a range of disease indications. This new collaboration clearly demonstrates this flexibility and the wide ranging applicability of the Atlas Genetics io® system."

Volunteering at The Ark
by Rochelle Millay – Machiasport
My teacher and I volunteered at the Ark Animal Shelter in Cherryfield, Maine. I love animals, so I knew it would be the perfect choice. I made homemade peanut butter dog treats [see recipe below]. It's a very simple recipe, but the dogs there seemed to like them. We walked dogs and played with the cats. There were a few kittens and a lot of adult cats. The cats have a certain room in the main building, and they also have a whole house to themselves. It all depends on the cat's temperament. The shelter workers obviously don't want the cats to fight.
I took Meeka on a walk (it was more like Meeka took me on a walk), and Fern took Thumper. I believe there were 4 dogs that were adoptable. There was Chico a sweet little, old-man Chihuahua, Thumper a beagle, and Cami who was very territorial. She barked if you went near her cage. She needs a very strong, loving forever home. There was also Toots who I have no idea what breed she is.
Employees and volunteers also brought their dogs into work with them. When I get my own place and am financially stable, I would like to adopt older dogs and cats and make the last years of their lives the best.
Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 TBS baking powder
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup skim milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine
flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix
peanut butter and milk. Add wet mixture to dry
and mix well.
Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface and
knead. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out
shapes. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake
20 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on a rack
and store in an airtight container.

Former Wayfinder Schools Board Member Paul Andrews will assume the role of Acting Head of Schools on Tuesday, November 15. Andrews will fill the role following the resignation of Dr. Dorothy Foote, who has served as Head of Schools since 2008. Dr. Foote has decided to continue expanding the scope of her work regionally and nationally to assist marginalized youth in achieving their high school diplomas. Foote said, "I greatly appreciate the support of my colleagues over the years from the Community School, to Opportunity Farm and the Wayfinder Schools, and I look forward to sharing their successes in the future."
Andrews is a retired Human Resources Executive who lives in Portland. He holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Maine at Orono and for six years worked for U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe. He worked out of state for over 30 years for Safeco Insurance and the The Horace Mann Companies in a variety of roles, including Chief Customer Officer and Information Technology. He has volunteered with and served on the Board of Directors of United Way of Central Illinois, and currently serves as Board President of the Munjoy Heights Condo Association.
He says, "Having served on the board for the past year, I have been witness to the incredible work of Wayfinder Schools, and I look forward to leading the school through this transition period. We are fortunate to have a very strong staff and board, and an exceptional group of dedicated students who are working their way toward high school graduation. This work is changing lives for the better, and I am proud to be part of it."
Board Chair Don Russell said, "The board is very grateful to Dot for her service to the students of Maine and to our schools and staff, and we are thrilled to welcome Paul as our Acting Head of Schools. Wayfinder has grown to serve more than 80 Maine teens annually who are at-risk of high school non-completion. Our programs provide a path to a high school diploma while encouraging life skills for students transitioning to adulthood. We are proud of the work of our staff, and of the significant accomplishments of our students."

If you are interested in setting up a MJ4All Program:
- Read our handbook and website, look into the opportunities and possibilities and assess whether the MJ4All Methodology really fits your objectives
- If both parties agree, a MJ4All License Agreement will be signed. Once you have signed the license agreement, you will be given access to the Microjustice4All Toolkit and you will then be ready to start your Microjustice4All Program:
After the MJ4All License Agreement has been signed, MJ4All will assist with setting up the MJ4All Program
The Microjustice4All Methodology can be implemented in two ways, either by Microjustice4All Country Organizations or by a Microjustice4All Program. Microjustice4All Country Organizations are set up solely for the implementation of Microjustice4All Programs, butMicrojustice4All Programs can be integrated in other humanitarian organizations.
In order to become a participant in the Microjustice4All International Network, Microjustice4All Programs must undertake to adhere to the vision and mission of Microjustice4All and to follow the Microjustice4All Methodology, as laid down in the license agreement. For example, a license agreement might specify the following requirements:
- to set up a MJ4All Program to empower the specified MJ4All target groups in a certain geographical region;
- to be responsible for its own fundraising (with which Microjustice4All can still assist);
- to conduct its activities as an independent operator;
- to organize itself in any legal form which is appropriate for the given country, provided that it is a non-for-profit organization.
In short, the role of Microjustice4All is:
- Helping to set up new Microjustice4All Programs/Organizations,
- Providing tailor-made technical assistance,
- Further developing the method,
- Facilitating co-ordination and exchange between members of the Microjustice4All International Network,
- Promoting MJ4All internationally.

I'm currently available for work starting September 1st, 2016.
Let me blow your expectations out of the water.
Take a look at the results I've generated for clients in the past. Will you be next?
I had the opportunity to work with a local Atlanta entrepreneur who is currently fighting to lead the Bitcoin revolution in the western world.
Tasked with developing the online presence for 2Nickels, a bitcoin ATM company located in the northeast United States, I set out on yet another journey to craft a beautiful and mobile-friendly user experience.
Working in the bitcoin space was quite unique. Crypto-currencies in general are a very misunderstood technology, so we had to be very careful with their online presence. 2Nickels was also engaged in a very competitive expansion that would determine who controlled the majority of the bitcoin ATM market, so we had to move quickly.
After our initial consultation, the legs of the problem became apparent:
With this in mind, I hit the code editor straight away.
I decided to take a unique approach to this particular solution: skip the wire-frames and jump straight into the designs. This would save us about a week of time, and I could build something out that would look like a website almost immediately.
Here's what I came up with:
This hits on quite a few of the goals we were aiming for (and it only took me about 10 hours to put together), but it definitely still felt like something some was missing.
(FYI: the site designs were much bigger than this, but the top section really exemplifies the "feel" of the site.)
Let's take a step back and look at the problem we we're tackling:
The primary customer segment for this website was someone on their mobile phone that just wanted to find the nearest bitcoin ATM, but this current website requires users to scroll down more than halfway (see below) before they even realize that it's a possibility.
With this in mind, I went back to the drawing board.
Conveniently, I was at that point reading through a great book on experience design: Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug. It was here that I learned the value of getting your products in front of users ASAP.
With this in mind, I hit the streets and had a few people take a look at the designs and "tell me how they feel".
They told me something that frankly should have been obvious from the start: "if you want me to find nearby bitcoin ATMs, why does any of this other stuff matter?".
It was then that I learned something that I now apply to any business endeavor: don't lose sight of the end goal. We were so buried in discussions about making the site user-friendly, and building a positive tone for bitcoin that we lost sight of the initial purpose of the website.
if you want me to find nearby bitcoin ATMs, why does any of this other stuff matter?
With this in mind, I went back to the drawing board yet again and made one simple change:
Now I could safely say that these designs met all the goals we set out to achieve.
It felt really rewarding handing them off to the team!
I mean, just look at that beauty.
So, after all the dust settled, what did I learn from designing this site?
(Well, you can probably guess at this point!)
But to wrap up, let me summarize them anyway:

XIANNING - The Deputy Secretary and Mayor Ding Xiaoqiang on Thursday met with Hu Hanzhou (General Manager of China Zhongtie Major Bridge Engineering Group Co., Ltd (MBEC)) and his team to discuss how to further deepen exchange and strengthen project cooperation. Wu Gang (Deputy Mayor) attended the meeting.
Ding said that Xianning is the backyard of Wuhan, with obvious location advantage, convenient transportation, and excellent ecological environment, having unique superiority to develop tourism and health industry. Last year Xianning's GDP exceeded 100 billion yuan, and annual household savings were about 125 billion yuan, with good economic development trend. These years Xianning actively builds industry development platform: the construction of some featured projects is in full swing, such as Hesheng chicken soup town, financial town, Zishan Lake Chinese rose sightseeing garden; such cultural industry projects as cultural manufacturing, cultural leisure, and cultural creativity start one after another. In future Xianning will take great pains to build national high-tech zone and develop green industry, high-tech industry and strategic industry. Meanwhile, it will rely on featured resource endowment and rich historical and cultural heritage to focus on "big culture, big tourism, big health" industries.
Ding said that MBEC has advanced operation concept and rich construction experience, it's welcome to investigate construction project and participate in urban-rural infrastructure construction in Xianning. He wishes both sides can further strengthen coordination and cooperation to complement each other's advantages and achieve win-win cooperation.
Hu said that MBEC is a large five-in-one integrated construction enterprise that combines bridge scientific research, survey and design, construction technology, machinery and bridge construction, engineering consulting and supervision. They find through this field visit that Xianning has strong development momentum, with great development space and potential. Hu hopes to interface with Xianning in traffic and municipal infrastructure field to jointly build beautiful Xianning.
Hu and his team also visited Xianning Planning and Exhibition Hall, Bamboo Museum during the investigation. By Chen Xizi and Wu Li (www.xnnews.com.cn)

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
Hello all and welcome to your Outfit Of The Week column. I'm currently typing this sitting on the floor of my friend's apartment in Brooklyn, as I'm in town for Fashion Week. In terms of outfits, that doesn't change much: I've been wearing all black and trying to layer ($1.90 Forever21 camisoles under everything) because that's the easiest way to dress when traveling and dealing with chilly temperatures that rival those back home in Toronto.
I am excited to continue shopping while I'm here though. So far, I've picked up some deeply discounted Calvin Klein lingerie (the best bras!) at Century 21, and had the below necklace remade at Brooklyn Charm for the third time (the other two were lost and broken, respectively.) I feel like this one HAS to last, right?)
Are there any New York shopping destinations I ought to know about? I haven't been here in almost a year!
But really, what we need to talk about is you guys, and what you wore last week!
I really loved originalrjc's outfit, which felt like what would happen if a high school's preppiest student teamed up with the toughest kid out back to create an ensemble. Hmmm, I think I may have just come up with the plot for a great '80s teen movie.
And perhaps it's just the heart backdrop, but Ginger Pop's retro look feels perfectly appropriate for Valentine's Day, and is also making me consider dyeing my hair red again ...
As always, you guys killed it. So, what have you been wearing this week? Do you plan on getting dolled up for V-Day? Let me know it all in the comments.

Looks great. Easy installation. Great price. However, I thought the skid plate would be thicker, and I over tightened the two T-bolts and bent them and had a hard time finding replacements because both Auto Anything and Black Horse doesn't sell the parts individually. As with the nerf bars I purchased from here, I wish I could upload a picture.

Frozen Pipes
A pipe or pipes can freeze up in the winter time when the temperature gets under 32 degrees. The best way for them to not freeze is to cover the pipes and make sure the bottom of your house is covered or is sealed up. Especially if your home is a trailer house, they have to be covered up well so no freezing will happen. If the pipes get frozen, you need to thaw them as soon as possible before they do damage to your home. You need to keep your faucet on at a steady drip all night to prevent freezing or busting one or more of your pipes.
Frozen pipes can crack or break your pipes, can stop water from coming into your home, and can also freeze up your water heater. If your pipes freeze up by the water heater, it can make the pipes burst, and it can cause a flood in your home, which can or will cause water damage to your home. Also, you can wrap your pipes with insulation to keep them from the cold, especially in small places. But you have to watch out because even insulated pipes can freeze. If you try to drain your water, and it does not go down, it is because it is frozen and it needs to be thawed out so the water will drain.
When you thaw them, you can use a hair dryer or a heater on them. If the pipes are frozen in the walls, you can cut open the walls so heat can get to them and they can thaw. You can also use a fan to warm it up, but it can take a while to thaw it. Frozen pipes are not uncommon. They happen every year when it gets really cold outside. You just have to try to get them from the cold. This way no damage will come to your home. If you have a tin around the bottom of your house, you need to screw them together so the cold will not get under your house. Tin can bend, and animals can get into the house very easily.
If the pipes are damaged, you need to replace it by getting a new pipe. You need to cut it with a pipe cutter or anything that will cut the pipes, get some joints to connect the pipes together, seal it up, and let it dry. But you need to measure the pipes before you put it together so it will be long enough because if you don't, it can be too long or too short. You also have to make sure you get the right size for the pipes for it to work. But make sure you turn off the water before you do this because you will have water spraying everywhere.
Well to provide you the correct explanation, experts say that water expands when it freezes. For example, think of ice cubes when you first put them in the freezer, the water is very well contained in its little tray. If the compartments are filled a little too full, and when you want to add a cube to your drink, you will find they are all frozen together and at one point the water in each compartment expands and fuses with the next compartment. The same physics is also applicable when a pipe bursts.
On a more detailed note, though, it's not usually the outward pressure of expanding water on the pipe walls that causes the pipe to burst. It's just because, when a pipe is completely blocked by ice, water gets trapped between the ice barrier at one end and the closed faucet on the other end. As water moves further down the pipeline and freezes, high pressure builds up between the blockage and the water tap, and so does the pipe will burst and that too from its weakest point.
A plumbing service company carries out many work operation depending on the cause of concern. Plumbing repairs, sewer cleaning services, residential and commercial plumbing repair, emergency plumbing service, drain cleaning, Frozen Pipes repair and waste water management are some of the tasks that a professional plumber would rather carry out.
In situations of calamities hiring a plumbing and drain cleaning company is the only and best available option for you. But if the situation is a dangerous one do remember the below points.
Don't be agitated, Stay calm - Just because your have Frozen Pipes doesn't mean it has or will burst. Check it thoroughly, if you think you can handle the situation, you can go for it, but if think the leak is a major one do not hesitate to call up an emergency plumbing service company.
Check out for the main water valve - This is necessary if you know your water pipe has burst, as it's the only way to stop the flowing H2O. But it's a good precaution if your pipeline is frozen if there is a small crack which you're unaware of as the water is frozen.
Search the location of the frozen section - To locate the section where the pipe has frozen is of utmost importance. This will be a part of the pipe that is noticeably colder than the rest, and there also could be more than one if you have multiple blockages.
Turn on the cold water tap and then Warm the Pipe - To stabilize the flow of water, turning on the cold water will enable the water to escape safely down the drain when it melts. And in the task of warming up the pipe, using the good home remedy of using the hairdryer is very apt, unless the pipeline has burst and there's water flowing. While performing this task, start from the closest tap and work your way towards the frozen area. Keep in mind to never use an open flame to thaw a pipe, as it's a fire hazard and could damage your pipelines.
Inspecting the cracks and fixing the problem - Inspecting the pipe for cracks ensures you of the future plumbing problems. You'll want to know you won't cause a flood when you turn your main water valve back on. To avoid the menacing call in a reputable and licensed professional plumber to assess the situation and make recommendations.

A Rancho Santa Fe couple lost their home in the 2007 wild fires. When they made plans to rebuild, they wanted to bring in the colors and textures from their fabulous view overlooking Lake Hodges, viewed from floor-to-ceiling windows along the east side of the home. For the kitchen, they chose granite counter tops that echoed the gold, tan,and olive tones of the surrounding countryside. Their cabinetry is a warm cherry and accent paint is a soft sage green. Guests flow through the kitchen for beverages and hors d'oeuvres and are drawn out to the deck to enjoy the home's magnificent setting. Reflecting the colors from the view creates a seamless transition to the outside and gives a feeling that the home is at one with the landscape, making the best of Southern California's indoor/outdoor gracious living.

The petite Hofstra University student who was abducted, raped and beaten in a horrific fivehour ordeal near the Long Island campus desperately pleaded with passers-by for help as she was being dragged around by the hulking fiend – but no one intervened.
The 22-year-old victim told police that at least five people spied her being viciously beaten and sexually
abused through the streets of Uniondale early Monday, and could have rescued her.
"She told me that she saw three boys and she screamed out to them, but they ignored her," the angered victim's boyfriend told The Post.
Nassau County detectives have spoken to the three young men and are looking for a couple who also saw part of the assault, said Detective Lt. Andrew Fal.
More details of the attack emerged yesterday.
Fal said the 6-foot-2 man first approached the victim as she was moving into her Uniondale home. She was
in the street searching for misplaced car keys. Police said the assailant asked if he could help, but when he brushed up against her, the woman told him to back off.
The man punched her, knocking her to the ground. He then jumped on top of her, smashing her head on the pavement.
The boyfriend witnessed the attack from an upstairs window and immediately dialed 911. By the time he
got downstairs, his girlfriend and her attacker were gone. Even though he had seen a gun in the assailant's
hand, he gave chase.
The boyfriend told The Post he encountered the three boys in the street and asked them if they saw
his girlfriend.
"I said, 'My girlfriend just got kidnapped. Did you see anything?' They said no."
The victim was dragged five blocks to a Webster Avenue back yard, where she was raped. After that attack, the victim was dragged again, this time seven blocks to a schoolyard.
That's when the assailant encountered a young couple, police said. After another violent sexual attack in the schoolyard, the victim was finally released. She straggled home at close to 5 a.m.
Police have asked anyone with any information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 244-TIPS.

California, one of the nation's leading science and technology states, was one of the hardest hit
states in the country during the recent economic recession. The state lost 1.3 million jobs and
faced years of government deficits which forced difficult decisions on programs and infrastructure
essential to its high-tech economy. But despite the challenges, California remains one of the top
environments for high-tech innovation, due in part to the different strengths of three key regions
in the state.
"California's innovation capacity comprises a powerful story," said CCST Executive Director Susan
Hackwood. "The similarities between the high-tech communities in San Diego, Los Angeles, and the Bay
Area are striking, but the differences are just as much so."
The innovation 'ecosystem' is the complicated interplay of numerous factors in the environment which
help foster and nurture high-tech innovation including research and development spending, venture
capital, the talent pool, and many more. There has been considerable focus in recent years on
identifying and supporting key factors to boost the growth of high-tech innovation in the U.S. and
"You need a fluid flow of people, information, and ideas across institutional and organizational
boundaries," said Jim Wunderman, President & CEO of the Bay Area Council, a business-supported
public policy advocacy organization in the Bay Area. "Successful models tend to include a
combination of local cross-institutional partnerships, collaboration with networks and resources
both within the region and elsewhere, and a quality of life that is culturally flexible and has the
ability to attract and retain talent."
The Bay Area, home to Silicon Valley, is the national benchmark for high-tech innovation; the region
is home to a wealth of research universities, federal laboratories, and corporations which actively
collaborate in numerous ways.
"The partnerships are both formal and informal, offering a flexible environment which effectively
leverages the Bay Area's considerable resources," said Wunderman. "And this is appealing to the
private sector: in 2013, 45% of U.S. venture capital investment took place in the Bay Area."
While the Bay Area is the best known of California's high-tech innovation centers, it is not,
however, the only one. San Diego has a substantial innovation economy as well, adding 412 new
technology businesses in 2013, according to Connect, a regional group that aims to promote and
create technology-based companies. In 2013 San Diego County received more than 6,700 patents, the
third-highest county total in the state.
"San Diego is an interesting case study, as it has a topography and geography unsuited to large
scale industrial development," said Mary Walshok, Associate Vice Chancellor of Public Programs and
Dean of Extended Studies at the University of California, San Diego. "The area has pursued a
collaborative, deliberate community strategy to build the economy, focusing on land use decisions
designed to attract the military and support R&D for national defense."
San Diego's persistent branding and promoting of the region's science and technology companies,
along with an early recognition of the importance of creating an ecosystem that could enable
commercialism, have helped drive thriving centers for both biotech and software research.
"A broad cross-section of the regional economy participates with both their time and capital in
assuring that the innovation ecosystem works," said Walshok.
The Los Angeles area represents still another model of an innovation-friendly ecosystem. While the
Bay Area and San Diego have long relied on the high-tech sector as engines of their economies, Los
Angeles has an economy that is transitioning towards newer industries. In 2013 the local tech sector
edged out the area's manufacturing, food services, and trade and logistics industries for the first
time, with jobs spread out across a wide range of industries including aerospace, technical
consulting, engineering services, and computer software.
"There are a lot of misperceptions about Los Angeles," said Amy Amsterdam, of the Los Angeles County
Economic Development Corporation. "It does face challenges such as sprawl and access to capital
which other high-tech urban areas do not. However, L.A. county is home to the busiest port in the
Western hemisphere and the largest manufacturing center in the U.S., and is also the number one
county in the U.S. for PhDs."
The regional success stories of the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego have been a driving force
in California's economic recovery. Not surprisingly, the state is prioritizing the commercialization
of innovation and technology as an economic development strategy, launching an innovation hub
program in 2014 (iHub) with sixteen hubs around the state, seeking to expand.
Challenges remain. In a 2011 assessment of California's innovation ecosystem, CCST found that many
stakeholders in the science and technology community were concerned about key underpinnings of the
state's ability to remain a high-tech leader in the future, in particular the state's approach to
incorporating digitally enhanced education and the infrastructure and resource limitations posed by
the state's water systems. Addressing these will be a long-term challenge for the state. However,
while California's size makes such issues more difficult to deal with, it is also a key to its
long-term success as an innovation leader.
"There is no single development model," said Wunderman. "Every city, every region, has its own
unique potential."

Confessions of a Male Nurse: stereotypes and the battle for recognition
Men in Nursing: Stereotypes and the battle for recognition
When did men first become nurses? In mental health care, male attendants worked in the men's wards at asylums from the beginning of the nineteenth century, and in private madhouses even earlier.
For International Men's Day, historian Louise Hide explains who these men were, and how they fought for recognition in an increasingly feminised profession. When registration for nurses was introduced in 1919, however, trained male nurses were kept on a supplementary register, and men weren't able to join the RCN until as late as 1960. Martin Johnson, who qualified in 1974, talks about what it was like training and working as a man in a largely female world.
This event will be live subtitled.

World Asthma day is an opportunity for Cochrane Airways to remind the public of some of the current evidence for asthma interventions. Our work has only been possible with the support of the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), UK funding and fantastic teams of volunteer authors around the world.
Below are some of the reviews we have published with short conclusions and a link to the publication. We also highlight some reviews for you to look out for this coming year.
Do help share the evidence using the #WorldAsthmaDay hashtag!
Cochrane evidence on asthma
Yoga is increasingly popular and many people are interested in finding out if it might help their asthma. Our review, published in April 2016, found that yoga may improve quality of life and symptoms in people with asthma, but more high quality trials are needed to be sure of the effects. For a more personal account of the evidence from the review, please read Cochrane's Head of Communications, Julie Wood, talking about her experiencing of having asthma and using yoga to treat it.
Intravenous magnesium sulfate for treating adults and children with acute asthma in the emergency department: Some people who go to hospital with serious asthma attacks don't get better after the standard treatments, such as oxygen, nebulisers and steroid injections. We published two reviews (one in adults and one in children) investigating whether magnesium injections might help in this situation. Both reviews found that magnesium injections may reduce the need for hospital admission, and in adults the treatment was also found to also improve lung function. However, the evidence in children is extremely limited.
Addition of long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for chronic asthma in children: For most people diagnosed with asthma, the first 'preventer' inhaler they receive is an inhaled steroid (ICS). Our review investigated whether there is a benefit of adding a different type of inhaled drug, a LABA. The review found that adding LABA to ICS was not associated with fewer asthma attacks but it did help improve lung function compared with the same or higher doses of ICS. However, there was a trend towards increased risk of hospital admission with LABA, which required further monitoring.
Intermittent inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy versus placebo for persistent asthma in children and adults: Although most people with asthma are advised to take their steroid inhaler every day, it is well-recognised that some people only take their inhaler when they are having a flare-up. This review investigated whether this strategy could help to prevent a flare up getting worse. The review concluded that, compared to placebo, the use of intermittent ICS at the time of an asthma flare up reduced the chances of needing to take oral steroids by half, but the quality and amount of evidence was limited.
Our colleagues wrote a great 'Evidently Cochrane' blog about several of our Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) reviews, which can be read here. For links to the individual reviews go here, here, here and here!
Stopping long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) for adults and children with asthma well controlled by LABA and inhaled corticosteroids: While LABA inhalers can be beneficial for some people with asthma, guidelines suggest clinicians should consider stopping the LABA inhaler once asthma is back under control. This review suggested that stopping LABA in adults who have stable asthma while they are taking a combination of LABA and ICS inhalers may increase the likelihood of having an asthma attack, but this is not certain. In children, we did not find any evidence that addresses this important issue.
Macrolides for chronic asthma: A macrolide is a type of antibiotic and it has been investigated to see if it is beneficial for people with asthma when used long-term. However, despite the addition of 16 new studies to this review, no real advantage of the use of macrolides in patients with asthma was demonstrated.
Pulse oximeters used to self monitor oxygen saturation levels as part of a personalised asthma action plan for people with asthma: Some manufacturers suggest that a pulse oximeter, which measures oxygen levels in the blood, is an essential part of a home first aid kit. We wanted to find out if there was any evidence that using pulse oximeters at home was beneficial or safe for people with asthma. However, no reliable data was found to refute or endorse their use in this context.
We have a great summary on the Cochrane website about the lack of current evidence for 'Remote versus face-to-face check-ups for asthma'.
Breathing exercises for children with asthma: showed little evidence, but our colleagues at the UK Cochrane Centre also summarised the evidence in a blog shot, one of the ways Cochrane are working on better disseminating the evidence.
Asthma reviews to look out for over the next 12 months
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for acute asthma in children
Different oral corticosteroid regimens for acute asthma
Exhaled nitric oxide levels to guide treatment for adults with asthma
Home telemonitoring and remote feedback between clinic visits for asthma (currently published as 'Asthma monitoring with remote feedback from a health professional')
Vilanterol and fluticasone furoate for asthma
Vitamin D for the management of asthma
Increased versus stable doses of inhaled corticosteroids for exacerbations of chronic asthma in adults and children

SensorTag with iBeacon
Bluetooth Low Energy SensorTag Main Page
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Update SensorTag Firmware
- 3 Configuring the iBeacon parameters
- 4 Run SensorTag with iBeacon
- 5 Compiling the iBeacon source code – Using IAR
This wiki provides necessary steps to explore the iBeacon technology using the SensorTag. Within this wiki page, using iBeacon technology on the SensorTag will be referred to as iBeacon Mode. To use iBeacon on the SensorTag, Apple require you to be an iBeacon licensee. To apply for an iBeacon licensee go to the Apple MFI program and fill in the application form. After you are approved, you can request access to the iBeacon software for SensorTag at the SensorTag SW page
To enable iBeacon Mode, the SensorTag firmware must be updated.
The most easiest and convenient way is to use a Bluetooth SMART Ready device (iPhone 4S/5/5C/5S etc.) to do an Over-the-Air Download (OAD) which is described below
If you do not have a SensorTag, it can be ordered here.
Update SensorTag Firmware
Addition requirements
- iPhone 4S/5/5C/5S or iPad (Bluetooth SMART Ready)
- SensorTag app version 3.4 or later.
If you have the compiled object code (*.bin) this must be loaded into the SensorTag app. Connect the phone to a PC and start iTunes to update the file. This is done by clicking the SensorTag app and load the files in the "SensorTag Documents" window. Load both the A and B version of the file.
Update to the latest SensorTag app version and perform a firmware update on the SensorTag once it's connected (You will be prompted). If not prompted you may have a custom or old firmware on the SensorTag that doesn't include OAD Profile and thereby you cannot use this method. When prompted, click "Upgrade" and follow this procedure:
In the upgrade screen select "Shared files" and select the binary file with iBeacon support
After completing the upgrade the SensorTag is now enabled to support iBeacon.
Configuring the iBeacon parameters
The iBeacon configuration data can be modified in the SensorTag app. Note that this can only be done while the SensorTag is in "normal" BLE mode. To access the configuration data connect to the SensorTag and go to the sensor data screen.
In this screen the minor and major number of the iBeacon can be configured. It is important to give a unique minor number for each SensorTag that is used as an iBeacon. If you are using more than one SensorTag as iBeacon you will need to configure different "minor" number in the beacon service. Let the first SensorTag be minor 0, and the second minor 1.
Run SensorTag with iBeacon
Default mode, the SensorTag resides in deep sleep (~0.5µA) and can be woken up by pressing the side button. Pressing the button will toggle advertising on and off. If the side button is held down for 2 second, the SensorTag will switch to iBeacon Mode. When doing so, the SensorTag will broadcast one beacon packet on the three advertising channels each 100ms if no other beacon interval has been set.When the SensorTag is in iBeacon mode the LED will blink every 10 second.
Locationing with iBeacon app
Start the Locationing with iBeacon app, If you have started the iBeacon on the SensorTag it will now be displayed on the map in the app.
In the app you can move the iBeacon, change the scale of the signal, give the iBeacon custom names, or enable actions when the phone approaches an iBeacon. The red rings around the iBeacon shows if the phone is far, near, or in immediate distance from the iBeacon. Note that any changes made on the iBeacon in the locationing app only apply to the app, the iBeacon is not able to receive commands from the phone while iBeacon is enabled.
Turning off an iBeacon
When you are done testing with the iBeacon it can be turned off by holding the side button for 5 seconds, the SensorTag will now change to normal BLE and search for a phone to connect to for 90 seconds. In this period the LED will blink quickly. After this period the SensorTag will enter power down mode until the side button is pressed again.
BLE Packet Sniffer
A CC2540 USB Dongle can be used as a BLE sniffer and monitor iBeacon packets as well as the communication when connected to the SensorTag. The SmartRF Protocol Packet Sniffer software can downloaded here.
Compiling the iBeacon source code – Using IAR
It's possible to compile and program the SensorTag with the CC2541DK-Sensor build of the SensorTag Project. Note that when doing so, the OAD Profile is not included, so no further OAD update can be made.
Addition requirements
- SensorTag Beacon Software Package v1.0 - Available Upon Request
- 1 x CC Debugger (estore.ti.com)
- BLE Stack v1.4 (www.ti.com/ble-stack)
Software Project
The SensorTag Beacon Software Package v1.0 includes:
- Switch function to be able to switch between SensorTag standard mode and iBeacon mode
- Low power LED Blink functionality for iBeacon mode.
- Default beacon data
- Beacon Config Service
Unzip and patch to the default install directory: C:\Texas Instruments\BLE-CC254x-1.4.0
The project is then located at \Projects\ble\SensorTag_Beacon\CC2541DB and is called SensorTag Beacon. Open SensorTag.eww project with IAR. There are three builds available for OAD update:
- CC2541DK-Sensor
- CC2541DK-Sensor-OAD-ImgA
- CC2541DK-Sensor-OAD-ImgB
When programming the CC2541DK-Sensor build, the original SensorTag Test Service will be included along with characteristic descriptors for the Beacon Config Service (BCS).
Note that you can modify the CC2541DK-Sensor-OAD-ImgA/B builds and generate custom .bin files that can be used to perform OAD on a SensorTag. When compiling OAD images, test service is removed as well as the beacon service descriptors due to size constraints. After compiling, the bin files are found in \CC2541DB\CC2541DK-Sensor-OAD-ImgA\Exe
