View or download a copy from the Future Wolverton website home page.
What does a 'yes' vote and a 'no' vote mean?
A 'yes' vote means that Milton Keynes Council must adopt the Wolverton Town Centre Neighbourhood Plan, and planning applications need to follow its policies. The Plan's proposals will be used to guide redevelopment of the Agora site, redevelopment of the Railway Works site and issues to do with the mix of shops in the Town centre and the design of new and existing shop fronts.
A 'no' vote means that Milton Keynes Council will use its existing planning policies for Wolverton to guide development and decide planning applications. These policies are ten years old, and many are no longer relevant to the issues facing Wolverton Town Centre or considered achievable or desirable.
1. This is a Community Plan
The Neighbourhood Plan is a result of over three years of consultation with local residents and businesses. It was developed by people who live and work in the area for the community, not written by consultants from outside the area or Council officers.
2. It is pro-change and development – but not at any cost!
The plan supports change in Wolverton town centre but NOT change at any price! The vast majority of local people want some redevelopment to happen, but they also want to make sure what happens next is right for Wolverton. The plan tries to make sure that development is led by community wishes.
3. It's about keeping what's special about Wolverton
Wolverton is a Victorian railway town with a unique history and strong sense of place. The plan seeks to preserve what's special, whilst welcoming new design and architecture which enhances our town.
4. It's about helping the town centre become vibrant & attractive
Attractive town centres attract customers and more customers generate more trade. Like many other town centres in the UK, Wolverton has suffered from changing shopping habits and more online shopping. But now there is also a move to people wanting a more personal shopping experience and increasingly choosing to shop locally. The plan helps by protecting the "shopping function" of the town centre; seeking to create small shop units to promote local enterprise and improve the town centre environment to make it a more attractive place to visit and shop in.
5. It's about making Wolverton more sustainable
Wolverton can be rightly proud of local efforts to become a more sustainable community, such as local food growing and energy efficiency work on houses. The plan seeks to build upon the fantastic work already done and promote the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and bus users, renewable energy in new housing and water saving technology.
Brief summary of the seven policies in the Neighbourhood Plan
The plan has seven policies designed to facilitate the redevelopment of the Agora site and Railway Works site, support small, independent trade, conserve historic shopfronts and kick-start the regeneration of Wolverton town centre
It also has an overriding vision statement which is:
"The Neighbourhood Plan seeks to ensure that Wolverton's centre, as the heart of the town, is a vibrant, attractive and distinctive neighbourhood with a variety of retail, commercial, cultural, and leisure uses that reflects the town's rich and proud railway heritage and its diverse business and residential population."
Policy W1 – The Agora Site
This policy paves the way for redevelopment of the Agora site. It specifies the sort of development the community would like to see on the Agora site, setting out the key principles including the reconnection of Radcliffe Street; a mix of retail space of modern size and standard including small shops suitable for current businesses within the Agora; housing which compliments the current housing mix in Wolverton; keep as many trees as possible; and good design in keeping with the Victorian setting.
Policy W2 – General Town Centre Development
This policy specifies what will be required of development within the wider town centre (excluding the Agora site).
Policy W3 – The Railway Works site
This policy sets out the principles that should guide any redevelopment of any part of the railway works site, whilst being clear that existing employment uses should be supported.
Policy W4 – Town Centre Diversity
The policy seeks to protect the shopping function of Wolverton Town Centre by
introducing a percentage based policy for different town centre uses.
Policy W5 – Supporting Street Markets
This policy supports the creation of a market in The Square.
Policy W6 – Supporting small, local trade
This policy enables the provision of small shops (50 m sq gross) to support small and independent businesses.
Policy W7 – Shopfronts design, signage and security
This policy is designed to conserve and enhance Victorian shopfronts in the town

"Collective response of leaf-cutting ants to the effects of wind on foraging activity"
Posted on
Andrea Marina Alma, Alejandro G. Farji-Brener, and Luciana Elizalde
Social organisms such as ants can collectively mitigate the adverse effects of the environment
Wind affects not only foraging of leaf-cutting ants, but also their division of labor
In regions characterized by strong and constant wind, leaf-cutting ants take more time to bring resources back to the nest. Wind negatively affects ant movement, decreasing their speed and blowing ants off foraging trails. Recently, it has been found that in leaf-cutting ants the total force of adhesion increases with body size due to an increase in pad efficiency. In light of this, Andrea Marina Alma and colleagues tested whether the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis reduces the problems imposed by Patagonia's strong winds by increasing the number of workers that are better able to deal with this environmental factor (i.e., larger ants). To study this, the researchers worked with different colonies located in Patagonia, Argentina, and measured the length of both outbound and inbound laden ants, as well as the effect of experimental wind (generated by computer coolers in the field) on larger and smaller ants. They find that wind delays smaller ants more than larger ones and that in windy conditions, colonies increase the number of larger ants, which are better able to deal with wind. Very small ants were almost absent in windy conditions, and very large ants were only present in windy conditions. By assigning larger ants to forage in windy conditions, colonies reduce the negative effect of wind in their foraging by 32%. These results illustrate how environmental factors can affect division of labor and how social organisms can collectively mitigate the negative effect of environmental factors, highlighting one of the most important advantages of group living.

A few years ago, a mission to Mars failed because someone forgot to convert U.S. measurement units to metric measurement units. Miles werent converted to kilometers.
I thought of this fiasco when reading a blog post recently that insisted that the only reasonable approach for moving data into a data warehouse was to position the data warehouse as the hub in a hub-and-spoke architecture. The assumption here is that data is formatted differently on diverse source systems, so the only practical approach is to copy all this data onto the data warehouse, where other systems can retrieve it
Ive written about this topic in the past, but I wanted to expand a bit. I think its time to challenge this paradigm for the sake of BI expediency.
The problem is that the application systems arent responsible for sharing their data. Consequently little or no effort is paid to pulling data out of an operational system and making it available to others. This then forces every data consumer to understand the unique data in every system. This is neither efficient nor scale-able.
Moreover, the hub-and-spoke architecture itself is also neither efficient nor scalable. The way manufacturing companies address their distribution challenges is by insisting on standardized components. Thirty-plus years ago, every automobile seemed to have a set of parts that were unique to that automobile. Auto manufacturers soon realized that if they established specifications in which parts could be applied across models, they could reproduce parts, giving them scalability not only across different cars, but across different suppliers.
Its interesting to me that application systems owners dont arent measured on these two responsibilities:
- Business operation processingensuing that business processes are automated and supported effectively
- Supplying data to other systems
No one would argue that the integrated nature of most companies requires data to be shared across multiple systems. That data generated should be standardized: application systems should extract data and package it in a consistent and uniform fashion so that it can be used across many other systemsincluding the data warehousewithout the consumer struggling to understand the idiosyncrasies of the system it came from.
Application systems should be obligated to establish standard processes whereby their data is availed on a regular basis (weekly, daily, etc.). Since most extracts are column-record oriented, the individual values should be standardizedthey should be formatted and named in the same way.
Can you modify every operational system to have a clean, standard extract file on Day 1? Of course not. But as new systems are built, extracts should be built with standard data. For every operational system, a company can save hundreds or even thousands of hours every week in development and processing time. Think of what your BI team could do with the resulting timeand budget money!

Use embroidery to explore the stranger side of the 21st century.
We find ourselves in a strange new world of division and moral uncertainty. The fashion and textile industry must reflect upon the values it holds and ask itself if it can stand for something greater than itself?
David Shah, Kate Frankin and Caroline Till in issue #39 of the magazine, Viewpoint, consider the need to set our moral compass. Expressions of morality within the industry leads to conversations about environmental concerns.
The focus on recycling remains central but is now considered further through our ability to create beautiful products of a higher quality, combining modern materiality with relevant cultural meaning.
New materials are being developed and created, old materials considered in new processes and new approaches to old techniques explored. Nature may lend itself not only for imagery but also for investigation and exploration of function and purpose through biomimetic studies. There is a renewed interest in material processes and an urgency to understand what products are made of.
Smart textiles are being developed with new technologies with advantageous possibilities through communication and well-being as well as protection and beauty. Materiality is the initial inspiration leading us through to the process to the final product.
Focus your project towards celebrating culture, gender and individual heritage in the global atmosphere of transformation. Make your work stand for something bigger than itself conveying a meaningful message relevant to the transient state of the world today. Explore materials and process; embroideries that mimic qualities found in the natural world, materials that turn from base metals into gold or textures that deceive the eye by appearing rough but are in fact smooth and soft. Be curious, become a textile alchemist.
'Time to change: to be open to experimentation, sharing competencies and know-how, exploiting traditional and modern technology, supported by science and culture. Time to aim at innovation that put the 'person' at the center of the scene, with concerns for his physical and psychological wellbeing, protection and performance abilities".

Can a small-town girl from ancient Egypt, formerly betrothed to a cow dung merchant, find true happiness in the 20th century as a department store mannequin?
Apparently so.
``You have great hands,`` says come-to-life dreamboat, Emmy (Kim Cattrall), to window dresser Jonathan (Andrew McCarthy). ``I liked the feel of them while you were putting me togther.``
Jonathan, a downtrodden artist who has failed at making pizza, gardening and ice cream sales, finally has found his niche. As an employee of a once stately, now declining department store, Jonathan quickly gains a reputation as New York`s cleverest window dresser.
The secret is Emmy. Each night she comes to life and becomes the muse that stimulates his creative inner self.
Emmy, you see, was a feminist back in ancient Egypt. She wraps her svelte arms around Jonathan and coos, ``You looked so lost and lonely.`` So much for women`s lib.
If all of this sounds rather lame, it is. The fact is, Mannequin is a stiff of a comedy. Panty jokes and sexual innuendos fly all over the place, right into sporting goods - and under the nose of obnoxious night security officer Felix (played to ho-hum perfection by G.W. Bailey).
It seems that business has been sagging and store owner Claire Timkin (Estelle Getty, who plays the sarcastic mother in TV`s Golden Girls), is hoping to turn things around.
Her efforts, however, are thwarted by snotty young executive Richards (James Spader), who is also in cahoots with a rival store. If not for Jonathan`s success, Richards might run everything.
Ohhhh, the plot thins. Put it all together and you get a film that smacks more of a TV pilot than a motion picture worthy of theatrical distribution.

Can you tell me how to get to Macchu Picchu?
The Spanish classroom at RMDS is a joyful place. As students craft silly stories, they laugh together. Student work on the walls uses language, photos and drawings to tell stories about "Cuando era niño…" Every student, no matter his or her level of experience, participates comfortably in the conversation.
Our Spanish classes use the Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS) program, which is designed to immerse students in a language environment that is fully comprehensible. It combines storytelling, performance, reading and writing to introduce new words, phrases and structures. As students focus on stories, they are exposed to new vocabulary, grammar and language skills in context. Compared to traditional textbook and grammar-focused foreign language courses, TPRS improves skills in speaking, grammar and reading while increasing motivation.
The capstone of the Middle School Spanish curriculum is the eighth grade class trip to a Spanish speaking country. In recent years, students have traveled to Nicaragua and Peru, combining visits to cultural and natural landmarks with community service. Eighth graders return from their trip with an expanded worldview and a newfound confidence in their speaking skills.

Hi, my name is Jane Bradshaw
Welcome to my fitness and well-being website.
Hi, my name is Jane Bradshaw and welcome to my massage therapy and fitness website.
I work with many different clients, from promising junior athletes and committed fitness fans to those new to exercise and post-natal women. Since qualifying as a REPS Level 3 Personal Trainer in 2010, I have become increasingly interested in muscular skeletal health and why pain and dysfunction can occur. This led me to study and qualify for a BTEC Level 5 diploma in Clinical Massage and Soft Tissue Therapy with the London School of Sports & Remedial Massage (LSSM), which is one of the highest level qualification available for this discipline.
I now run my own clinic in Beckenham, Bromley as well as working weekly with high performance athletes at Bromley Swimming Club and Blackheath & Bromley Athletics Club – both of which are ranked nationally in the top ten. In addition, I run fitness classes and circuit sessions and successfully ran Buggyfit Beckenham for 6 years, an outdoor fitness class for new mums with their babies. I also run Metafit Beckenham, as you will see from the page, this 30 minute fast class challenges everyone from the least fit to the elite, is addictive and most definitely works!
After the birth of my second child, I took up running in 2005 and have since competed for my athletics club and Kent County. I absolutely know that only hard work gets results and there are no quick fixes or gimmicky eating plans that will deliver lasting results. I know what it is like to give your all and have total respect for my client who get out and train come rain or shine. I also know how to help fix you when things are not going so well.

The boy went off to use the bathroom while his parents finished checking out. Shortly there after, the girl looks at her mother and says "Potty". The mother says "Yes he went to the bathroom" (referring to the little girls brother) The girl then says "NO, I need to potty" The mothers response?…
"No you don't! You have diaper on!"
Seriously?! Seriously…WTF.
Most children have to be potty trained before preschool. This child was well past the ability to be trained. In fact she was being for it. But the mother out of sheer laziness decided to hold back her daughter's developmental growth.
I can only say a pray for that girl and her family. I fear for her for the rest of her life if that is how she is treated on a regular basis.
And what is wrong with people that they have stopped parenting? Children use to be a source of pride and joy for society. And now people just breed for the sheer ability of being able to. Or the lack of ability in prevention. They have children and then forget about them. There are very few people who are active participants in their children's lives. That actually take the time and pleasure to grow their children into wonderful people.
No wonder people irritate me so much…they were forgotten about long ago. And now they don't know how to act as adults.
I really need to learn that when that anger comes up towards adult that they were once children begging for attention they never got.

The latest wave of hotels being built in the popular Buenos Aires neighorhood of Palermo are much larger than their predecessors and increasingly focused on the needs of business travellers.
Changes In The Palermo Hotel Profile is the headline of Isabel Stratta's analysis in iEco of the morphing lodging landscape in areas like Palermo Nuevo, Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood where the word "hotel" used to conjure up images of boutique properties and renovated historic buildings with no more than a dozen rooms.
"That profile is changing rapidly with the arrival of hotels with 60, 70 or more rooms which are looking to regain some profitability by catering to business travellers," says Stratta. It's a smart move in anticipation of more expo tourism when the new Buenos Aires Convention Center opens next year.
The author points to the new 80-room Casasur Bellini opening this month between the Botanical Gardens and the Rural Expo Center, another 60-room hotel rising in the Buenos Aires Audiovisual District, the 63-room Own Grand Palermo Soho, the 120-room Dazzler Palermo Hotel which opened in January, the 50-room Bulnes Eco Suites and the expanding, soon-to-be 54-room Vitrum Hotel.
"The Palermo hotel business model changed. First were the prices, when the 2008 financial crisis said goodbye to rates of US$300 per night. Now the daily average is US$150. What we are seeing now is a new wave of changes related with expanding, offering more services and having a more sustainable scale," says BA hotel sector analyst Luciana Salaun.
Estefania Arougetti, the GM of the Casasur Bellini, says she welcomes the arrival of more hotels in Palermo: "We like the company. The neighborhood is more attractive when there are more hotels, more lights, more security." (Full Story in Spanish)

International Day of Peace
When people ask me where Juniata College students go out for dinner, coffee, or to relax outside of campus, I usually have a premade list in my head that I tell them, but that list always starts with the same answer: Standing Stone Coffee Company.
Standing Stone is owned by a Juniata graduate, and is only a short walk from campus. It's a great place to sit, do some homework, or to potentially get a job (as my roommate, Bekah, did). However, they also host these incredible open mic nights in partnership with the college. The open mics can be for everything from just the fun of it, to an open mic night for Genocide Awareness and Action week. Most recently, Standing Stone hosted an open mic night for the International Day of Peace, and it was delightful.
The International Day of Peace open mic ran from 5-6PM in the cozy coffee shop. I was a little late to the event myself, but when I got there, it was amazing. Professors were singing songs about war and peace, students were reading original poems or other works, community members were there, and there was an overall atmosphere of peace in the room.
There was so much variety in the pieces that were read. Some had a somber atmosphere, some were hopeful, some were angry… I got the chance to read a piece that I wrote this summer. My reading was a short little blurb of thoughts about an old man and a pipe, which may not sound like it has anything to do with peace outright, but I like to think people enjoyed it! This was my third time reading my work in front of a crowd here at Juniata (or anywhere really!), and it keeps getting easier and more fun every time. It is something I would definitely recommend to any who are interested in trying!
The open mic wrapped up, and then the evening carried on with free live music from a local artist. Overall, I think it was a wonderful event. This has turned into a bit of a piece about how great Standing Stone is, and about how much I like the open mic nights, but that's okay. It truly is a great little coffee shop, plus they have excellent food if you ever need a snack or a break from dining hall food. And the open mics are something I never thought I would participate in, but really enjoy. All in all, I'm just very thankful that this partnership exists between small businesses in town and the college. It creates something wonderful for all of us.
Finding Your Fit
Like many students who transfer, Jamie Mistretta '17, from Philadelphia, Pa., was struggling to find an engaging environment at her previous college, which led to a phone call with an admission counselor at Juniata. "I didn't feel academically challenged, so I knew I wanted to attend a school where academics are a priority, and find a place where I could really get to know other students and professors," says Jamie. Her phone call allowed her to meet an alum of the College and gain a really authentic understanding of the Juniata community.
After visiting Juniata, Jamie reflected on how easy and important it can be to design your own Program of Emphasis (POE). At Juniata, Jamie is able to take classes in a pre-designated POE program and then take specific courses that allow her to re-define her degree program. "It is great to have the option to study what I want to study and create my own personal POE," says Jamie. She didn't lose any time by transferring, as nearly every credit transferred to Juniata. She is currently pursuing a PreK– 4th grade education POE, but she is also interested in speech pathology.
In addition to finding her academic transition easy, Jamie also quickly adapted to a new social atmosphere on campus and in the Huntingdon community. "It was really important for me to go to a school where I could have great relationships with students that did not only revolve around studying," says Jamie.
Juniata encourages students to interact with classmates through at least one of more than 100 campus clubs. She is currently an active member of Amigos de Guanin, a club that raises awareness and hosts fundraisers for people in Guanin, Dominican Republic, and she is a member of concert choir.
According to Jamie, the key to transferring is acknowledging what aspects you truly need out of your education. Transferring to a different college can be stressful, but phone calls and visits can really allow you to share some of your concerns and interests to achieve a more satisfying college education.
"Don't hesitate, always apply," Jamie says. "Applying gives you options and opportunities to find the qualities you want in a college experience."

My Senior Year Bucket List
It is officially week 2 of my final year at Juniata College, and let me tell you, I'm already feeling pretty nostalgic. I spent the entirety of last year studying abroad, first in Russia and then in India, and though it was an incredible year full of adventures and new experiences, I am so happy to be back at Juniata. Everyone tells you about being homesick, but no one really warns you about being campus-sick. You really do start to miss your college once you're gone for a while, but thankfully I still have one year left! Here, I have created a bucket list of things I will endeavor to complete during my final year here.
- Attend every single tradition. At which other college are classes canceled on a random day and everyone picnics at a lake in the mountains? And only at Juniata is there an event where freshmen risk bodily harm by charging at the rest of the student body, trying to fight their way past them. Juniata College has many unique and fun traditions, and I was insanely jealous every time I saw pictures of my friends participating in fun activities, such as eating lobsters at Lobsterfest and pitching tents on the lawn for Madrigal. This year, I am not going to miss out on any of the events and activities at JC.
- Find the secret spots. Because Juniata is located in the mountains, there are many different places to explore around campus. One of my favorite spots is the Cliffs, only a 10-minute walk away. The views are incredible, but another little known fact is that there is a rope swing at the bottom (how cool is that?!). No one really knows where exactly it is, but it can't be too hard to find. In addition, there are great hiking trails not too far from campus, including 7 Geocaches within a mile (a Geocache is a container filled with an unknown object that you find using GPS coordinates). I have never been Geocaching but who doesn't love a huge treasure hunt?! Before I graduate, I will leave no stone unturned.
- Make lasting relationships. This may sound cheesy, but one of my goals is to make sure I leave Juniata having made enduring friendships. Juniata is a small community, and I know everyone here has my back and wants the best for my future. I know I can rely on my professors and advisors to guide me both in my final year and after I graduate. In addition to becoming closer to my mentors, I am also looking forward to meeting new people and getting re-involved in my favorite clubs, like Circle K and PAX-O (a Peace Studies club). It's my last year to really make an impact, so I hope to be as involved as I can! Finally, I know I'm going to miss all of the friendly faces on campus, from Laura who works in Baker to President Troha. These sorts of people make Juniata a happier, brighter place, and ultimately a college that is unique and irreplaceable.
As much as I don't want it to, senior year is going to fly by. No matter what I'm doing, whether I'm canoeing on Raystown Lake during Mountain Day or debating the meaning of life with a professor, I'm happy to be back home at Juniata. I can't wait to start checking things off my bucket list!
Wrapping it Up
It's crazy to think that I only have three weeks left of my first year of college. It seems like just yesterday I was taking trip after trip back out to the car to move all of my stuff into the dorm. This year has definitely flown by! As my semester comes to a close, and this is my last post for the year, I'd like to recap some of my favorite things about my year at Juniata.
On-Campus Job
I applied for a job in the Admissions Office right off the bat when I arrived at Juniata, and did not have my hopes up since I was only a freshman. Shockingly, however, I got the job! I have had so much fun learning more about how the college admissions process works, and have met such wonderful people throughout the year. I've also learned how easy it is to find a job on campus. If you are in need of some cash, Career Services is an incredible place to start. There are so many jobs all over campus, in every field, so it doesn't matter what qualifications you have, you will definitely find something.
Cafés, Cafés and More Cafés!
If you know anything about me, you'd know that I love cafés. I love the atmosphere, the coffee, and the creative recipes different places make. I love getting off campus, walking into town, and plopping down at a table with a cup of coffee, a scone and tons of homework. This week especially, since I will soon be returning home to Boston, I decided to visit all the different cafés in Huntingdon. Standing Stone, a popular spot, definitely has the best sandwiches and board games, which is a win-win for me! Stone Town Gallery, a café and art gallery, has the best scones and most interesting decor, and so much fun artwork and jewelry to look at and wish for! Wildflower Café, which I actually only visited for the first time today, has the sweetest staff, huge tables to do work, and deliciously strong coffee. When I first came to Juniata I was very hesitant about the small town and the limited number of places to eat, but I have fallen in love with the sweet shops throughout the town.
Visiting the Jail
When I tell people my college is near a prison, most people are shocked, or scared or confused. I had similar reactions when I first learned that too, but now it seems totally normal to me. Especially due to the fact that earlier this year I got to go inside the prison and talk to some of the prisoners. Last semester I took an Introduction to Criminal Justice course that included an opportunity to attend The Day of Responsibility over at SCI Huntingdon. A few of my classmates, my professor and I spent one day inside the prison, listening to different speakers talk about the effects of crime in communities, and even got to speak to different prisoners who have been sentenced to life imprisonment. I was very surprised at how intelligent many of the prisoners were, and how funny, charismatic, and normal they were. The Day of Responsibility definitely challenged and changed some of my views on the criminal justice system, and I was incredibly lucky to have been a part of it.
Personal With Professors
One thing I wanted from college was a strong relationship with my professors. I have learned after this year that Juniata is the best place for that. All of my classes are small (my smallest class is six people), which really gives me the chance to develop a relationship with my professors. I often send an email to one of my professors, with a link to a video I found interesting and thought they might enjoy. I am never afraid to just pop into a professor's office to say hi, or to ask a question about an assignment, or anything like that. Even if I am struggling with something, my professors have always been there for me, and willing to help in whatever way they can. I really do feel understood and cared for by my professors here at Juniata, which is an incredible feeling.
Warm Weather = Fun on the Quad
As the weather begins to warm up, more and more people have started doing work outside on the quad, which makes me so happy! I always envisioned college to be people leaning against trees, reading books and listening to music while others play frisbee or volleyball nearby. Luckily, that is exactly what I got at Juniata. I've been taking my homework outside, and bringing a snack and a blanket in case the weather gets a little chilly, and just finding a spot in the grass to work for a few hours. It's always relaxing to work in the sunshine, and sometimes (more often than not) someone I know will walk by and sit with me for a while. I've even brought my guitar out and took jam session breaks in between studying. I love warm weather, and I love the atmosphere and energy of working outside with others.
There is so much more that happened this year than I can fit in one post, but I tried to capture some of the best things about going to school at Juniata. Although Juniata is a small school and far from home, I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend.
Why I Chose Juniata
Being from Florida, you get some interesting questions and looks from other people. When I am asked where I am from I always get this strange look because I chose to move from sunny Florida to bitter cold Pennsylvania. Yes it was a big change and a completely different place that was far away from home, but in the end it was worth it. I got to build my own major at Juniata where I could choose the courses I took and learn what I thing is necessary to build a career. I have chosen to name my degree Entrepreneurial Arts and it is exactly what I want to do. With my degree I can help businesses with their digital media plans.
I also got to continue to play the sport that I love and pick up track and field along the way to challenge myself further. I have two families here with me, my field hockey family and my track family. They are completely different and unique in their own way with multiple personalities. The relationships I have built with my teammates and the moments of silliness are ones that have made my experience so wonderful.
It is great that all the professors want you to succeed and want to genuinely help you to get a good grade, but to grow your knowledge and future. It is nice to go to a small liberal arts college where the professors make time to help their students and always have their door open for you to come in to talk. Juniata wants their students to thrive and the faculty help in any way they can to help students in any aspect they can. As a senior, I have many faculty and staff members that have helped me to prepare my resume and network. My boss even brought me to a marketing conference in Hershey, PA where I was able to learn more about marketing strategies for higher education. All this knowledge and experience will help me build the future that I envision and I am happy to have chosen Juniata College to help me do exactly that.
Celebrating Culture and Diversity
For me, the car ride to Juniata College was not a long one, only about an hour and a half. Following US 22 you pass picturesque farm land, beautiful mountains, a few houses and arrive in a tiny little town. It is quiet and people were out and about on that warm afternoon. Huntingdon is in central PA, you can't expect a city here, much night life or a mall. However, Huntingdon has something very interesting: a vibrant multicultural college, with a diverse student body. In the middle of central PA this much diversity is hard to find.
Besides the diversity of the student body, what is so unique about Juniata is how well all these cultures and ethnicities get along. Juniata creates a bonding experience that unites and celebrates the cultures that exist on campus, such as those of Pakistani students, Chinese Students, Vietnamese students, Australian students, and American students.
Juniata Presents, the organization that focuses on bringing art and culture to campus, does a good job at showcasing this diversity through unique musical acts. The Red Baraat and the Hot 8 Brass band, who recently performed on campus are two examples of this diversity. The Hot 8 Brass band represent the music scene in New Orleans. The southern flare, and trumpets are completely different from Red Baraat who has a more Indian hip hop feel to their music. The results are the same: students enjoy them.
Not every performance at Juniata is going to be a favorite of every single student, however the fact that this tiny little college in the middle of farm land central PA can bring these big name shows and allow students to experience these fun cultured performances for free, is a wonderful and transformative learning experience.
Here at Juniata culture is celebrated, and welcomed. It is something not only to be proud of but to be shared.
Traveling Home for the Holidays
When I first arrived at Juniata, I felt like everyone around me was from Pennsylvania. Everyone I talked to would say, "Oh yeah, I'm from Altoona," or, "I live outside of Philly," or some variation of this. However, I am not one of those people. I'm from Boston, which is a very long drive from Juniata College. When planning my fall, Thanksgiving and winter breaks, I was worried I wouldn't find a way to get to the airport, or people that weren't driving home to the same areas I was headed. I was very pleasantly proved wrong.
Juniata has students from almost forty different states in the U.S. as well as over forty different countries. There are so many people who don't live locally, who fly from University Park Airport in State College or Harrisburg International Airport, take a bus or drive home for the holidays. Juniata College allows freshman to have cars on campus, which has been very helpful for me so far. Although I do not have a car of my own, my roommate, who lives in Altoona, PA, has her own car. She, as well as many of the students here at Juniata, is incredibly generous when offering rides to places I need to go. It is also easy to find other students looking for ride or cab shares on your Juniata Class Facebook group.
If you don't have friends with access to a car, don't worry! Juniata offers a shuttle service during the week of breaks throughout the semester. For a low cost, the school will shuttle you to or from campus to some of the neighboring airports in State College and Harrisburg, as well as different bus and train stations in those areas. They are easy to sign up for, and are offered at different times throughout the day to work with everyone's schedules.
Many people may worry about going to a small school in a small town, but Juniata works to make travel accessible to all students and to make the town of Huntingdon seem not so small!
Senior Dinner
If I'm being honest, most of my Saturday nights this semester have been wonderfully lazy: playing games, watching movies, and going to get a milkshake at Standing Stone with my friends have become the weekend norm. So, it was a nice change to have a reason to put on a fancy dress and eat some good food. And that reason was Senior Dinner.
On March 1, the Class of 2014 was invited to spend a night remembering the wonderful last four years at Juniata College. This event was generously hosted by the Alumni Association and they succeeded in making it a night to remember. As we walked in, we were able to present something to the class time capsule that will be opened during our 25th Class Reunion in 2039! I recently got a new phone, so I placed a plastic bag into the capsule that held a letter to my 47 year old self and my old EnV 3 phone, which contained texts from friends saved from the night before I left for college my freshman year, pictures from all four years, and lists that I made during my time at Juniata, including my bucket list and a ten year plan. I can just imagine myself, 25 years into the future, looking at the ancient piece of technology and instantly remember all the amazing times I had during these four short years.
There were emotional speeches given by class officers and leaders that reminded us what makes Juniata so special – Madrigal tenting, amazing professors, and Mountain Day. Then, along with some sappy songs, a slideshow was presented with pictures from the past four years that people could submit through the Juniata Senior Facebook page. Memories as recent from my house's Welcome Back BBQ and as old as freshman Madrigal zoomed by on the screen, and it hit me for probably about the thousandth time that my time here is almost over. That feeling cannot be described any other way than bittersweet. I know that JC has more than prepared me for the "real world" and that it will always be my alma mater; but that does not fully make up for the sad fact that my college experience is almost at an end.

Also known as the jellyfish or dead man's float, the survival float is one of the most important skills for swimmers to learn, since it can help you survive in the water. Survival floating can help you if you're stranded in open water, but it's also a valuable technique taught to children who may find themselves in a deep pool and don't have a lot of stamina or strong swimming skills.
Face Down Floating
Step 1
Get into water that's at least waist-deep and take a deep breath and hold it. Float in a horizontal position with your face down in the water. Only the back of your head should breach the surface. The air in your lungs will keep you floating. Relax.
Step 2
Let your arms and legs dangle. Your arms may float up to the surface. You may need to kick your legs a little after taking a breath to keep from sinking back down too far.
Step 3
Raise your head when you need a breath of air. If you need to, bring your arms and legs slightly upward to the surface, then push them downward to help you elevate your head for a breath and return to a relaxed floating position.
Back Floating
Step 1
Lie on your back in calm water and relax your limbs to float horizontally.
Step 2
Keep your head above the water line at all times so your airway stays dry. Arch the back slightly to assist in the float.
Step 3
Kick gently or tread water to make progress toward land or a boat, if one is in sight.

The Juche Idea -- Film Review
Empty TWITTER
EmptyThe ideas of that noted film theorist and critic Kim Jong-il are the subject of "The Juche Idea," experimental filmmaker Jim Finn's satirical effort set in North Korea. Finn, a cinematic provocateur whose previous works dealt with the similarly repressive ideologies of Soviet Russia and Peru, has devised a mockumentary about a South Korean video artist (Jung Yoon Lee) who has taken up residence in a North Korean artists' colony.
For those unfamiliar with the term, "Juche" is a philosophy embraced by the notoriously daffy Korean leader -- an avowed film buff -- that uses the concept of self-reliance as a springboard for a doctrine of ideology that ironically demands total obeisance of the people to the will of their leader.
Needless to say, it's not a tough subject to find ridiculous, as illustrated by the numerous clips from North Korean feature films and documentaries on display that don't exactly make you hungery to see them in their entirety.
But the filmmaker has more sly things on his mind as well, poking fun at the pretensions of artists in general and his central character in particular via increasingly silly interview sequences and mock examples of her work, which includes such efforts as "The Tiny Dentures of Imperialism."
The film's satirical commentary about the intersection of politics and art is rarified, to be sure, but there is enough pointed humor in its execution to make "The Juche Idea" a provocative if intellectually challenging experience.

Great work on this, Jodi!!
I would put this back to the team I've observed misisng participants has anyone else noticed this? What is the impact on the team? How dowe want to handle it?Ideally, the team will take ownership for dealing with the misisng participants. This could be asking them to step off the team to rearranging schedules to accomodate everyone. To many options in-between. Ultimately, it is for the team to deal with.Happy CoachingBea
You wrote quite a while ago and I apologize for the delay in roespnding. My sense of working with young professionals is that there is business in that area, but that it looks a bit different from working with high level executives. Cost plays a role, as does perceived need in an environment where they have less influence. When they are involved, they dig in deeply and are interested in growing, learning, and setting a vision for life and work. There are two models I've seen work the first is as part of a broader program sponsored by an organization or a number of organizations; the second is individual work, with a significant group component to it, often culminating with an intensive or in-person experience. Of course, there are individuals who are interested, whose organizations are willing to pay (or can afford it on their own), and choose to work with a coach. Most of my work at this point has been through organizations working with professionals internally, rather than independent consulting with individuals. Would love to hear what you're finding.
Hi Michael:I am a fellow coach and wonedr if you could give me some feedback. I have been struggling with the niche concept and am considering working with young professionals via their organizations in the areas of confidence, communication, etc. So here's my big question: Is there business in that area?Thanks for your feedback!Gerri Ratigan http://xrgmnfqti.com [url=http://eaqjxjd.com]eaqjxjd[/url] [link=http://nymdvxevhu.com]nymdvxevhu[/link]
I would describe the sitoatiun as is. I would not make any recommendations or judgments. As a follow up, I would ask the group what they felt about their absence and if they thought anything should be done about the absences. If the group did not have a problem, I would proceed with the process. http://uhmkgqv.com [url=http://lvfgaeutbe.com]lvfgaeutbe[/url] [link=http://endxggq.com]endxggq[/link]
Thanks Connie for talking about how to love this life. You rellay give great examples of the benefits of Life Coaching and why it may or may not be there for you. When people can see what the clear benefits are it helps with deciding if something is right for you.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying so they can sell you something, or is an idiot, or both.Gee it's been very hard for you to get all the numbers right, eh? That's probably because it's only a 1 out of 142,506 chance to win!We have a similar lottery in my state. One person actually hit this jackpot 5 times! Wow! How did he do this? , you wonder. Easy he spend HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars on tickets every year! The guy wasted more money that you could count! When all was said and done, he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars chasing after those 5 big wins.So I won't tell you it's impossible to win this jackpot. 1 out of 142,506 isn't really an impossible task. You really would have a great shot at it if you started pouring out about a thousand dollars per week. I'd say sometime within a few years you should have at least hit the jackpot once. (You'll be broke by then, but hey at least you can say you won.)
I actually riceeved what seems to be the same thing your talking about, so I emailed the National Lottery and they told me this was a scam they do not contact anyone unless it is to confirm a win on the Lotto. My advice would be to check your credit card to make sure nothing has been taken out without your authority and to be on the safe side I would cancel my card explaining what has happened and your card company will issue you with a new card and PIN number. http://xllzctw.com [url=http://eaoqefmu.com]eaoqefmu[/url] [link=http://idoufg.com]idoufg[/link]

Zombie Paintball in Pennsylvania
George Romero chose a rural part of Pennsylvania the shooting location for 1968's Night of the Living Dead. Those well acquainted with the area know it's not a mystery why the iconic zombie film was shot in the state. The zombie invasion depicted in the film is not just a fictional scenario at Pennsylvania's Zombie Paintball facilities. Requiring participants to shoot their way out of high-stakes situations, a single wrong move can lead to a tragic end at the hands of the flesh-eaters. Underestimating the power of the walking dead would be a mistake that one wouldn't live long enough to regret, so remaining aware of all surroundings is essential to survival. Do you have the guts to take on the approaching undead mob?

Q: When does the code get compiled? In an example such as
critcl::cproc triple {int i} int { return i * 3; /* this is C code */ } puts "three times 123 is [triple 123]"when is the C-coded triple command created?A: When it is called the first time. The critcl::cproc command creates an auto_index entry for the command it defines. The script in this entry causes complete C sources to be written, the compiler to be run, and the resulting dynamic library to be loaded. (It takes longer time than the source or load you'd normally find in such entries, and there are more ways in which it can go wrong, but there is no difference in principle.) Compiled commands are created on a per source-file basis.
Paolo Noli: A little question: How to call a tcl commands from inside a c funcion declared with the statement "ccode"? (I need this to implement a callback procedure.. but I think this can be an interesting tip for others people. :)RS 2007-10-03: Well, the classical way to call Tcl commands from C is Tcl_Eval. The following snippet works as expected (prints "this should come") in Odyce's Critcl emulation, on old faithful W95:
critcl::cproc do {Tcl_Interp* interp int i char* cmd} ok { if(i) Tcl_Eval(interp, cmd); } do 1 {puts "this should come"} do 0 {puts "this should not"}and runs in local variable scope, as can be verified:
17% proc f x {do 1 {info locals}} 18% f 42 xIn critcl::ccode however you cannot pass in the Tcl_Interp pointer. Maybe arrange for a cproc to deposit the pointer to the (one and only) interp in a global variable?
Instructions for installing critcl in an existing "traditional" (i.e. non-starkit) Tcl installation
- Critcl is supplied as a Starkit; but perhaps you would like to use it with a traditional Tcl distribution, e.g to use your collection of extensions
- these instructions are console commands for a Linux/Unix system. Please adapt for other platforms.
- download the tclkit binary for your platform, and the starkits critcl.kit, and sdx.kit
- follow the instructions for installing tclkit (you can remove it at the end if you wish)
- check that tclkit and critcl.kit work correctly: run the command
tclkit critcl.kit test-critcl.tcl
- (where tclkit is in your command path and critcl.kit, test-critcl.tcl are in your current directory; the file test-critcl.tcl is listed below)
- you should see the console output "three times 123 is 369"
- now use sdx.kit to unpack critcl.kit: run the command
tclkit sdx.kit unwrap critcl.kit
- (where tclkit is in your command path and sdx.kit, critcl.kit are in your current directory)
- a directory critcl.vfs will be created that holds the contents of critcl.kit: cd to this folder's lib subfolder
cd critcl.vfs/lib
- ensure that you are the root user and that the folders and their contents have appropriate ownership
- copy the contents of this folder to the lib folder of your Tcl installation, and then cd there
cp -a * /path/to/tcl/lib cd /path/to/tcl/lib
- open the file app-critcl/critcl.tcl in a text editor and do the following...
- ... in the first non-comment line, 'exec tclkit $0 ${1+"[email protected]"}', replace 'tclkit' with 'tclsh'
- ... find the line with 'Wikit::init' and comment it out (alternatively, install the files from the critcl.vfs/doc folder somewhere on your machine, and specify the path in the 'file join' statement)
- make the file app-critcl/critcl.tcl executable and symlink it from a directory in your PATH, e.g.
ln -s /path/to/tcl/lib/app-critcl/critcl.tcl /usr/local/bin/critcl
- delete your Critcl cache directory ~/.critcl so the next command will test the correct functioning of the compiler
- now test this installation of Critcl:
tclsh test-critcl.tcl
- as before, you should see the console output "three times 123 is 369"
- once again delete your Critcl cache directory ~/.critcl, and now test the command-line critcl tool (which provides useful command-line options)
critcl test-critcl.tcl
- if this is successful, you can now use Critcl from your existing Tcl installation, and you no longer need the tclkit or starkit files to use Critcl
lappend auto_path . package require critcl critcl::cproc triple {int i} int { return i * 3; /* this is C code */ } puts "three times 123 is [triple 123]"Older versions of the Critcl package builder had a severe bug [1], in that the pkgIndex scripts they generated would conflict with this traditional of use of Critcl. To see if you're affected, enter the commands
catch {package require f00bar}; # To make sure package indices are loaded. package provide critcl ; # This is the result you're interested in(f00bar should not be the name of an existing package). If the result is empty then all is well, but if it is "0.0" then you've got a bad pkgIndex.tcl script installed.The sad thing here is that you don't have to use the bad package for anything to be hurt by this; it is sufficient that you have it installed. However, even if you cannot remove the bad package, you can work around it by doing something like the following trickery instead of a normal package require:
# Save [package ifneeded] scripts for functional versions of critcl. set cmds "" foreach ver [package versions critcl] { if {$ver ne "0.0"} then { append cmds [list package ifneeded critcl $ver [package ifneeded critcl $ver]] \n } } # Forget critcl package declarations package forget critcl # Restore useful critcl package declarations eval $cmds # Now load a working package package require critcl

AM (26 october 2007) I am pleased to announce that Critcl is now capable of handling Fortran as well - see: Critcl goes Fortran
FM I had to add the option -mno-cygwin to the compilation command line in /critcl/critcl.tcl. That was to force gcc building with mingwin instead of cygwin. (I use both of them under windows). It works. Thank you for this job.
How do I get critcl to run under cygwin? jbr editI created a custom config file by unpacking the starkit and coping critcl3.vfs/lib/critcl/Config.
sdx unwrap critcl3.exe cp critcl3.vfs/lib/critcl/Config critcl.cfgThen change the defaults compile and link commands to look like this :
compile /cygwin/bin/gcc-3.exe -mno-cygwin -c version /cygwin/bin/gcc-3.exe -mno-cygwin -v link /cygwin/bin/gcc-3.exe -mno-cygwin -sharedInvoke thus-ly:
critcl3 -config critcl.cfg -force -pkg fast.tcl

It was made apparent before President Hu Jintao of China visited the United States on his state visit that President Obama was clear on the fact that China was manipulating its currency and that he would bring it up. China's usual response is that "currency is dictated by the markets" and not politicians. Which does make a lot of sense.
But if we look at how weak the Chinese currency is in comparison to its actual economy you can see why people would say that the currency is being manipulated. The reason why Chinese manufacturing and agriculture is so lucrative are for two main reasons, they are:
Large trade surplus. How and why? The reason China has a large trading surplus is because their currency is weak. What this means is that foreign currency goes a long way into purchasing goods, services and everything that is manufactured in China. Not only this, China does not have much policy on human rights or specifically working rights. So the working environment does not have to be in-condition acceptable to workers or people in the west. A huge saving in cost for business but not considered particularly ethical by most standards in the west. Not only this wages are also poor and the largest cost of a business is its labour force and its goods. – Of which both are very cheap in China. This is why manufacturing for the most part has moved from the west to China where they now manufacture most goods and are getting better at manufacturing highly advanced stuff at cheap, cheap costs.
Take for example a recent interview with Piers Morgan and Donald Trump. Donald Trump was correct in saying that it is hard to compete with China when they can do things at cheaper expense and where the currency additionally helps in making something that should be expensive in one country, really cheap in another. This is why the manufacturing base in most countries have moved away. Because companies cannot compete with China since what China is selling you, is the whole package for a business. They have cheap workers with no working rights, no pay rights and have what is considered by many economists and high level figure heads such as President Obama a currency which is being manipulated. A perfect place to start a business, one would think and in practise this has been rapidly happening over many, many years. – Which is in effect is why China has been for 30 years (Mostly) been growing at an average of 10% per year; which is obviously a fantastic result.
China also has a very large population, according to sources a population of around 1.3 billion people. That is a huge market which international companies could try and tap. However it is impossible to tap that market since international currency is very expensive for the ordinary Chinese people. President Obama additionally brought this up in a press conference with President Hu Jintao. What is happening is that the Chinese system is all one way.
For example, Chinese goods are relatively cheap for Chinese people however if you introduce goods which are produced elsewhere they are very expensive for these reasons:
Not much can be done. The damage is already done and most of the manufacturing base has been moved over to China. However if China is indeed manipulating its currency you can fight back by introducing taxes if indeed China is not playing by the rules. You introduce an import tax on all Chinese imports to the same level as a competing provider of the same goods who manufactures in the US. The US and other western economies would benefit and you could tell China that your human rights and work ethics are unacceptable and only until these shoddy work ethics are dropped and they stop manipulating their currency; only then will China listen to you.
Should it be done?
Western and mostly American companies are profiting on the back of a Chinese economy which is run on exports. Not only this they are benefiting in the west from using sweat shops where workers are underpaid by western definition; these are western companies being opportunist. It undermines the values that the west hold, under a democratic standing where the people of China do not have that right. These are two reasons why it should be done on moral and economic standing. The US needs a larger home based manufacturing base to keep its economy afloat and it could be argued that this could be achieved by imposing more protectionist laws. – Which the Chinese have in-place.
