Study reveals that dogs 'speak' English… well, sort of
Posted on September 28, 2016: We've always known that dogs can comprehend human language. A new study, however, indicates that they can understand our language better than we thought. In fact, their range of human vocabulary may be far wider, than basic commands like 'sit' and 'stand'. A team of scientists in Hungary, conducted a research on more than 20 purebred dogs. The findings of this research carried forth by Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, were published in the journal Science.
Test method
Dogs of various breeds were included in this research, including Golden Retrievers and Border Collies. Their pet parents' voices wherein a vibrant stock of words was used was recorded and duly played to the dogs. The result indicated that dogs can not just process human words but even ascertain the intonation to precision. They could gauge whether or not the tone of voice was appreciative or dismissive.
The inference of this test wasn't based on what the human eye solely observed. Whereas the human brain may err, machines will always predict the accurate result. The dogs were slid into an MRI machine and their brains were mapped as the recording with their pet parents' voices was played. The brain diagrams precisely graphed out how the canines were responding to the different words.
The pet parents recorded the same words, spoken differently. For instance 'good boy' was said in a neutral tone and then in a sing-song voice. The brain scans were indicative of the fact that the dogs could register familiar words correctly, no matter how the tone was altered. It was also observed that dogs could gauge the meanings of words by simply listening, it wasn't necessary for them to observe the body language of the speaker to fathom what she/ he was trying to convey.
The dogs were not coerced to stay inside the MRI cavity, but permitted to leave if that is what they wished for. When the dogs listened to words of praise, the left hemisphere of their brains was illuminated; interestingly that's the very location that human beings make avail of to process language.
Whereas dogs processed the meaning of the words in the left half of the brain, they recorded the tone of the words in the right hemisphere of the brain, in exactly the same location, where human beings note the tone of the voice. Though the canines could understand the relevance of the words irrespective of the tone; the tonal component of the voice was by no means irrelevant to them.
A 'rewards section' was detected in the dog's brain. This hub was stimulated when they listened to words of praise spoken with positive intonation. This proved that the best praise for dogs was when the words both conveyed a meaning which indicated reinforcement and was spoken in a pleasant tone.
The tests also established the fact that dogs could set apart words which they were used to hearing from brand new words. This test is to be repeated with other household pets and farm animals like cats and horses.

There is nothing worse than losing your luggage after a long flight. The last thing you want to do is spend more time at the airport and you don't want your vacation to be ruined because you won't have various items you need that you packed in the checked luggage.
You should do whatever you can to help prevent your luggage from being lost or unavailable for too long. Here are a few tips:
If possible, pack all of your electronics in your carry-on bag. Electronics can look suspicious during luggage inspections and delay the luggage from being placed on the airplane. If you do pack electronics in your checked luggage, place them all in a single quart-sized resealable bag so the inspector does not have to rummage through the luggage to inspect everything and delay the bag from reaching the airplane.
You should write out your itinerary including your final destination, your hotel and a phone number the airline can reach you out and place it on top of your clothing and other items in your luggage. This could help expedite the process of the luggage being delivered to you if it isn't available at the airport after the flight.
Some travelers like to arrive at the airport very early before a flight and complete their check-in and the TSA security checkpoints to relax before boarding the airplane. The problem here is that you do not want to check your bag too long before the flight. The longer a piece of luggage sits around, the greater the chance it gets lost or forgotten. I recommend you do not check your luggage any earlier than 90 minutes before the flight.
Of course, the best way to avoid losing luggage is to only pack carry-on bags. If it is at all possible to avoid checking baggage, I recommend it. Find carry-on policies here.
You can wear layers and additional clothing on an airplane to free up space in luggage and you can pack the correct size liquids for airplanes to avoid having to check larger containers with too many ounces of liquids.

After a successful 'First' press we have been bitten by the cider bug and are hooked. We are now focussed on making real Derbyshire craft ciders our business.
We have access to a small orchard at Overton in the south of the parish, which we have carefully restored after 40 years of neglect.
2013 apples have been hand-picked from all over the parish from residents to which we owe great gratitude as we have, despite a poor harvest, managed to produce ten times the amount from our initial 2012 press.
Given the broad mix of apples used this year we are expecting an eastern counties style cider, with a fruity nose and a rounded full-mouth feel.
In addition to the Dry 6.0% cider we will also be naturally blending to offer a medium cider for those with a sweeter side and maybe a Juicy Pyder!!!
We are committed to maintaining the careful and traditional process of cider-making followed during our
experimental first year and are passionate about creating natural artisan ciders in Ashover with that same ethos.
Given the Derbyshire weather we do hope Mr Sunshine is on board with our ideas!!!
Our cider is currently bubbling away very delicately for a slow-ferment and will be matured and drank from spring onwards primarily available straight from a barrel at the multi-award winning real ale and cider house The Old Poets' Corner in Ashover.
We will also be offering our ciders for sale in draught form in 20 litre and 5 litre bag in box containers which are tapped. We will be experimenting with bottling if there's any left!!!
Long-term prospects look good following a planting 'experiment' on Bath Lane in Ashover this winter.
100 tress were planted of well-known good cider varieties including Kingston Black, Katy, Black Dabinett, Somerset Redstreak and Yarlington Mill.
Keeping with the 'local is best' theme we will be able to grow naturally with our orchards as well as helping to maintain important cider varieties for the future.
We really enjoy making our cider and hope you will enjoy helping us to drink it!

I'm going to offer my prediction later, but I thought I'd first put the question to you. So let's here what your think!
As I live in Florida and most of the people I know here are and have voted for Governor Romney. I believe that he will end up doing well in Florida, as many here are still unemployed, and the economy in Florida is flat. We are not seeing real growth, nor or we seeing any hope of growth. It is not good in Florida, as many I have talked to are not getting unemployment benefits anymore so the real unemployment number here is around 11%. I do not see Oama doing very well here. Maybe I can be wrong but talking to many people here, I have hope for Mitt Romney.
I think you may get slightly skewed results, given the audience. However, there is always the hope that as WHD goes, so goes the nation.
Name it and claim it! No more Axelrod or Pluffie, no more fakey grins, no more fakey accents, no more Bidenisms, no more coverups, no more show gardens, slow jazz, yukking it up with comedians…We have to believe hard enough! Ruby Slippers maybe–anything?
Great attitude, Star. Axelrod will have to shave his 'stache and you show no remorse……LMAO
I would watch that even though it meant looking at him.
You are one tough cookie!!!!
Figures that Axelrod would say he'll shave his mustache during November. November is also known as "Movember," a movement to raise awareness of men's health issues by encouraging men to grow out their mustaches (http://us.movember.com/)
I can't grow a decent mustache. isn't there a ribbon I can wear? Maybe a brown one!
Do the old Groucho Marx type mustache, and paint it on. Worked for old Julius, and made hit a hit.
Also, don't forget to say the secret word, and win some money. The word for tomorrow is "Romney"!!!!
Heard the latest was "who dat?"
I'm with you, Star. We deserve the best of America in the WhiteHouse.
A President who goes to work in the Oval Office early in the morning, who actually will meet with his Cabinet, who will project a strong and moral America to the world, and who will work with the Loyal Opposition to get our country back on it's feet.
It would be soothing to have a FirstLady who dresses and acts like one. A FL who honors and embraces our American traditions and values.
And a President who keeps his feet OF THE FURNITURE!!!!!!
That was OFF the furniture
Spot on, Star and srdem. A president who actually shows up for work would be a pleasant change. Also will be nice to have a FLOTUS who has more respect for the title. Doubt Ann Romney will be pimping herself out with potato sack races, dodge ball, tug of war, and exercise workouts in historic rooms of our White House.
Potato sack races? Michelle Antonette? I don't know how those venerable old floors were able to support THAT wide load hopping up and down (snark)!
CBS pulled the video, but found it here…
Think it may have been pulled because of the image of her and Jimmy Fallon n their potato sacks hopping past the George Washington portrait. The very portrait that was saved by Dolly Madison in the war of 1812 when British troops torched the White House…
No more "Tingles".
Really –could that happen? Or will he sob like a motherless child and then zip back on the air with weeks of racist this, racist that?
I gonna have to refill my Xanax before tomorrow
I going to need a tranquilizer dart guess I'd better go to a vet but it
beats Obamacare.
I think Romnesia will win unless Obummer and Mooch steal it. I love the "Walk with me" and "I'll work with you" statements.
We need more Romnesia in this country!
"I'm going to offer my prediction later," -KK
Before you do, allow me to offer my shallow observation based on the highly technical concept of "cool". Everyone wants to to be "cool" and socially accepted and that means voting for BHO.
But there will be a significant percentage of America of all walks -especially minorities, who will use the privacy of the voting booth and vote for their wallet, for their religious beliefs, for life, for trad. marriage, for Israel, for their children, for coal, for domestic energy, for a strong defense in the face of new threats, for boring, competent, adult supervision of America over "cool". I'm predicting a landslide for Mitt.
Romney! In a landslide! I also think we'll add seats to the Senate and House.
i sure hope all of yall are right as i really don't want to hear obama's voice for another 4 years. it's gotten where it really grates on my very last nerve!!
Yes, Obamas voice grates my nerves too and I don´t even live in the US and have to suffer as much as you. But he pops up in radio and TV here as well.
It´s my dearest wish that we get rid of that grinning hypocrite and his awful wife tomorrow.
Thank you for your solidarity Swedish Lady!! God, I wonder what Obama would sound like speaking Swedish? No, no. Don't even go there. Too awful to contemplate!
He said WE needed another language, not that he was going to learn one…remember that?
Well, since he speaks out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, doesn't that qualify as 2 languages?
He's still learning Austrian. He promised he'll take up Swedish when the family is on their intercontinental railroad vacation as they visit all 57 states.
:-) Oh, man, how have we gotten this far? Se can do this, people!
I mean't we–I always figure you guys can fill in when my remaining eye fails me.
I feel your pain at least in one eye:-)
A.J, Star and Srdem65 -"Jag måste sticka nu. Jag och frun har just blivit utsparkade från Vita Huset". That´s what he will sound like in Swedish a couple of days after Christmas. ( " I have to leave now. I and the wife just got kicked out of the White House" ).
I agree with you Conservative61. I also think that we will know earlier than what most think. Once Florida and Virginia close and those numbers start rolling in, we will know.
OK Keith, just provide the results of this poll to the Federal Elections Commission, call off tomorrow's voting and let's start celebrating!!!!!!! I'm sure your methodology is at LEAST as accurate as most of the mainstream pollster's so this HAS to be a lock for Romney!!!!! I'm now in a state of euphoria!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh dang, my wife just upped my meds. I feel realism creeping back in but I'm going to try and keep believing as long as I can. Come on America, SAVE YOURSELF!!!!!! Get that commie and his cronies outta there!
I don't know about anyone else,but my stomach is already in knots and my head spinning from all the "spin". By rights Romney should have this in the bag and by now most political pundits are getting a sense from one camp or another who feels confident,but in this case ,they both are feeling confident. That scares me. I hope to see someone blink(Obama camp),before the end of the day. I can't stand the anxiety. Thats why I'm anxious to hear Keith's gut feeling. I think when you live in the DC environment you get a sense for these things.
Here's my latest strategy for a stress free election night. Everyone is welcome to join in.
A. Clint Eastwood DVD
B. GIGANTIC bowl of popcorn
C. 750ml Bottle of Captain Morgan
D. Ice
E. Repeat as necessary
Saturday, I bought a new bottle of Glenlivit 25 yo scotch to celebrate 0bama's defeat. I also have a few good cigars to go with the returns and scotch. This will be an election to cherish.
If only everyone thought the way we do!
As a Canadian, I can't vote, but this is probably the most important US election in my lifetime, and I'm 58. Mitt MUST win!
What do you mean you can't vote? As long as you are a registered Democrat, I would think that it wouldn't matter where you're from or what your citizenship status is.
In fact, you don't even have to come here. The dems will vote "for" you. Since they are able to interpret your "intent"!
Sure, come on down!
Two things have me worried out of my mind:
1.) Obama's illegal act of 'amnesty/work permits for millions of Dreamers.. Hispanics are going to be a force to reckon with – especially in FLA and the Southwest. Obama should have been impeached for this deliberate act of election tampering! Af/Ams should have been marching in the streets – they are being victimized by one of their own. Black unemployment is now 14.7%.
2) The youth vote, BHO and MO have committed a felony by registering students on campus and then whisking them off to the polls.
Add to this untraceable absentee ballot fraud, dead people, felons, mysterious electronic voting machines that automatically vote for Obama, and the possibility of overseas election tampering – we have the perfect storm for massive voter fraud.
IMO, Obama is already a criminal by virtue of his governing by giveaway. He is already illegitimate, If he wins tommorow, he should be arrested on the spot. This kinda stuff only happens in third world countries.
This Virginia Democrat is voting for Romney !
Just remember, even if God spares us a second Obama term, Obama will still be President for THREE – MORE – MONTHS. That's three months of pardons, executive orders, persecutions of enemies, etc. – and three months of destruction of our military, our economy, our very future as a nation.
Obama would be like Saruman at the end of Tolkien's "The Return of the King". His power broken over his own hubris, he departs immediately to exact petty revenge on those who he perceived cost him his power. He trashes the Shire thouroughly for revenge, then makes the following statement to Frodo;
"I have done much that you will find hard to mend or undo in your lives. And it will be pleasant to think of that and set it against my injuries."
Sounds like something our Prezzy would be capable of, doesn't it? And with nuclear weapons, no less!
There's a LOT of points of comparison, but this is not a LOTR blog. You can look here if you're interested;
Doesn't SAY obama, but SOUNDS like him.
All that assumes that he consents to peacably surrender power at all. I suspect it's more likely he will call racism and refuse to leave on the 20th, precipitating a full blown Constitutional crises and riots ensue. This, too, would complete his dream of turning the US into a third world country, so why not?
The White House is guarded by Marines. They have sworn to protect this country against enemies foreign and domestic. They will frog march him out of the White House if necessary. And salute Romney as he moves in.
Assuming he hasn't used an Executive Order to replace the Marines with loyal "Homeland Security" police forces by then.
Remember his "civilian security force, just as well equipped as the military" he promised? Know how he said at a recent rally "I mean what I say and I say what I mean"? Just where DID all those hollow-point bullets that Social Security and NOAA purchase actually go, anyway?
Don't underestimate the man, he's been planning this for a long time. Hell hath no fury like a narcisisst scorned.
Interesting side note on the military's oath of enlistment and appointment.
Enlisted personnel swear the following:
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
Officers sweat thusly:
"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)
Read through both and note the HUGE difference in the two. Enlisted personnel swear to " obey the orders of the President of the United States" while the officers do NOT make the same pledge. This is something that I feel needs to be changed, and the oath be the same for both enlisted and officers. Remove the reference to the President, and replace it with allegiance to the Constitution.
IF there is a coup on the part of Obama, where will the enlisted stand vs. the officer corps (not corpse)?
Most of the people I know that are active military cannot stand Obama, just as those that were in the military during Clinton's years could not stand Bubba. These men and women need to feel appreciated and respected for them to appreciate and respect the CIC. With both of these Presidents, neither occurred.
I would also look for Petraeus to finally come out with the total story on Benghazi after the election. He is a man of honor, and will have to tell the truth about what actually happened, and the orders he was given from the top down regarding the US response, or lack thereof, during the Benghazi 9/11 attack.
Precisely because I know what most service people REALLY think of their CinC is why I am not THAT worried about them backing Obama if push comes to shove, "president" oath or not. In the event of a Romney win, legally their oath would transfer to HIM on 1/6, and most would respect that.
As I said, though, I am more concerned that Obama has made good on ONE of his promises and produced a "shadow force", arming them and training them through surreptitous means, such as the ammunition purchased through Social Security. Given what we've seen of the man, do you think it unlikely that he has cadres of "brown shirts" ready at his call? I don't.
The other thing that plays into this is his frightening naivete, probably inculcated from being insulated from serious challenge so long by his handlers. He has repeatedly demonstrated nothing but loathing and contempt for the military (when not taking unearned credit for their sucesses), and may honestly believe they will sit quietly on the sidelines if not actively support him while he completes his conversion of America, whether America licenses it or not. It is said that the best liars believe their own lies. I think it likely that he's a VERY good liar; and that, coupled with his lack of comprehension of any political thought other than his own, is what makes him very dangerous.
However it falls, I'll be locked and loaded tonight, and the family is well trained in the use of self-defense armaments as well. I'll be bitterly clinging to my guns and religion (but without antipathy for anyone but Obama), but ultimately safe in the knowledge that it will fall as God will have it, and that even Obama ultimately serves HIS purposes.
Have a good day, Shofar, and God bless! May you live up to your handle by your calls helping to panic the opposition in this battle, now more than ever!
Keith – to be fair, this group is a little partial…
Just a wee bit.
Equally balanced by MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and a LONG list of other liberal "news" sites.
Oops! I forgot to add a happy face :-). I posted in the friendly spirit of the two posters above. NO sarc, either.
Well, my pick is for the Kardashian presidency to get another 4 years…I hope that is wrong — maybe I'm just blinded by having to live/work here in Chicago…
Then, potentially adding insult to injury, Rahm is scheduled to visit our offices here on Wednesday…
Worst-case, I suppose I could stand in the back with a "TEA PARTY LIVES ON" sign…
Even though my vote doesn't count in this state, here's hoping the rest of you deliver the Big W tomorrow!
"Worst-case, I suppose I could stand in the back with a "TEA PARTY LIVES ON" sign…" – Deadbolt
They'll just kick you out, like they did at a Cincinnati Obama rally.
Hey, a link to this very blog! Hope I don't cause a paradox…
If you did cause a paradox, just get in the TARDIS and the Doctor will set everything straight.
Woah, a fellow Whovian! I was thinking it, but didn't say it b/c I use too many obscure references as it is, and didn't know if anyone would get it.
Now, showing my age, I say Tom Baker is the best "Doctor". "Who" is YOUR pick?
Yesterday when driving through a neighborhood, I saw numerous Romney/Ryan yard signs with a big blue "O" spray painted over them. Who does that? I hope it's a sign of desperation. Four years ago we had our McCain sign out in our yard and it wasn't touched.
Obama wins. Massive voting fraud. Just a reflection of what the US has become. If you aren't cheating and lying, you aren't trying. You see it everywhere and from everyone.
Glad I'm a tad more optimistic about my fellow Americans. There is strength in numbers, my friend. Take a few of your friends with you to the polls tomorrow and vote for love of country.

[euractiv.com] EU defends itself from attack on ACTA
The European Commission attempted to dispel rumours today (22 March) regarding draconian new anti-counterfeiting laws being negotiated under the global Anti-Counterfeiting and Trade Agreement (ACTA) talks.
The head of intellectual property and public procurement at the European Commission's trade unit, Luc Devigne, said the executive would try to convince its negotiating partners (see 'Background') to release the draft text being written at the ACTA talks.
"We have nothing to hide," Devigne insisted.[...]
"There will be no three strikes, there will be no change to the liability of Internet service providers, there will be full respect of data privacy and no provisions on customs searches," Devigne said, addressing what he termed as "rumours" of the kind of laws ACTA is writing.

The U.S. attorney's office in Connecticut has subpoenaed records from Hartford's regional anti-poverty agency, the Community Renewal Team, which already had been under investigation by the state's attorney general, The Courant has learned.
Several sources said the subpoena from the office of U.S. Attorney David B. Fein, the top federal prosecutor in this state, was served days after a Feb. 12 Government Watch column was published in The Courant. The column reported that Paul Puzzo, CEO of the Community Renewal Team until 2005, has been receiving at least $85,000 a year as the agency's vice president — but he rarely appears at the office, doesn't have a desk there, and now spends significant time at a waterfront condominium unit he and his wife own in Florida.

Under the aegis of Petromin Resources Ltd. and the Canadian Heavy Oil Association, Canada had six booths, including an Embassy/Government of Alberta information booth, incorporated into a single Canadian stand. Occupying the other spaces were Kudu Industries Inc, SNC-Lavalin, Worley Parsons - Colt Engineering and Regent Energy Group. Other Canadian companies and organizations present were the Alberta Research Council, Evans Consoles, CANMET, Imperial Oil, Suncor Energy Inc., MEG Energy Corp., University of Calgary, Aquaguard, and Well Resources Inc. In addition to the exhibition, the Canadian contingent coordinated by Petromin presented approximately forty per cent of the technical papers over the course of the four day event.
As an unofficial conclusion to the Conference, on October 25, 2007, three dailies, Al Qabas, Al Watan and Annahar published an interview with Dr. Hassan Hamza, Director General of CANMET, on his views with regard to the future of the oil industry in Kuwait and to negotiations underway between Kuwait and Canada for the exchange of expertise and the transfer of Canadian technical know-how to the Kuwait oil industry.
This was a successful event for Petromin Resources Ltd. and the Canadian petroleum industry. It also was a successful event for the post and its partners which included the government of Alberta, Natural Resources Canada (CANMET) and the Canadian Heavy Oil Association (CHOA) - a cooperative effort which was a win for all concerned. This event was also one on which we can build to support Canadian industry. Our success at the WECEC has raised the profile of Petromin Resources Ltd. and our ability to direct and apply Canadas expertise in heavy oil to Kuwait.
Since the event, Petromin has made several advances towards initiating business in Kuwait, formalizing a JV agreement with United Oil Projects to propose plans to implement CO2 injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery in Kuwait. In addition, Management will be visiting Kuwait at the end of February to continue talks with the Kuwait Oil Company in regards to Heavy Oil development projects in Northern Kuwait.

The 1500m well offsets a coal coring drillhole and gas desorption location completed in 2006. It is also designed to test for Jurassic-aged coal at 1100m. The 800m offsets another coal coring drillhole and gas desorption location and is also designed to be drilled and cased to the top of the J2x coal and then to run open hole permeability and production flow tests of the 40m plus J2x coal seams.
Four days after finalizing its contractual arrangements, TWE spudded the 800m well. The commencement of the drill program was celebrated with an opening ceremony. PTRs on-site head engineer, Ryan Adams was given the ceremonial honour of pulling the switch to start the drilling and the well was officially spudded at 11:08am. The opening ceremony ended with fireworks and other traditional Chinese business ceremonies.

Join Joseph Lowery for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating the basic fields, part of Creating Photo Card Titles with HTML5.
Next, the form is shown by changing the CSS to display block. Then the h1 tag that holds the steps is updated with the new relevant text. Let's move on to the form. I am going to scroll down towards the bottom of the page, and I want to put my form right after line 74, where the container div is placed. This is the div that holds the canvas tag which is inserted at runtime by our JavaScript. So, we want our form to be right below that.
Let's start with the basic form tag. I'll give it an ID of textForm and then set the action to the same page. Now, let's make some room for that form content. Next, we'll isolate this section of the form-- there will be three different sections in all--with a fieldset and legend combo.
I'll enter "Create your text" as the legend here. Now I am going to put the first of three form controls, a simple text box for entering a caption. We'll use an HTML5 attribute placeholder to provide a hint for the user and leave the value blank. I am going to put each of these form controls on their own line, so I'll start the coding with a paragraph tag. We'll enter in our label first, and I'll use the for attribute and set it equal to the ID of the text box, which happens to be called textBox, and then enter my actual label, text with a semicolon, and then after the closing label tag, which Aptana has so nicely provided for us, we'll put in our input tag.
And this will be a basic text input type, with, as I said, an id of textBox, a placeholder. This is an HTML5 attribute that puts a little bit of a hinting text into the middle of the text field. We'll suggest to them that they enter a caption, and I'm going to set the value to an empty string. Okay, let's close the input tag, and that's the first of our three, but let me go below it. And in fact, I am going to scroll down somewhat so we're not right at the bottom of the page anymore. There we are.
Now let's make it possible for the user to change the font. Of course, you don't leave it completely up to the user. That would open the door to errors galore; we're going to use a select list. I'll limit the options to the basic fonts and then add a nonbasic one, just for fun. So we'll start with our paragraph tag, and next comes the label. Again, I'll use the for attribute, and the id of this select field is textFont, and the label is Text Font in two words with a colon.
Okay, after the label, I'll enter in my opening select tag, give it my id of textFont, and then we are going to enter in a series of options. As I said, we're going to use the basic font names. Of course you can substitute other font families, but I just want to use the basics to illustrate the concept. So option value = serif, and we'll enter in serif as the font.
Next option is going to be sans-serif. Following sans-serif will be cursive. Fantasy. Finally, we'll enter the last of our generic fonts: monospace. Now, for a nongeneric one I am going to use Impact, a very big bold font which works really well with certain types of effects that we'll be implementing.
Okay, our second form field is now done. Again, I'll scroll down, and let's add our third paragraph tag for our third field, which will be one that will allow the user to change the font size. We'll enter in the label, with the for attribute set to textSize, and the text label itself will be Text Size:. And now we'll put in a new input tag. And initially, we're going to start it out as a standard text field, so it will be type="text" and give it an id of textSize and an initial value of 50.
This last entry, as a standard text input field, is not too exciting or particularly user-friendly. However, in the next lesson, we'll convert it and other fields to an HTML5 slider and really boost the user experience.
Check out the rest of the HTML5 Projects series.
- Setting up a caption submission form
- Creating basic text entry fields
- Integrating color pickers in the form
- Adding the caption to the card with JavaScript
- Applying text effects like shadows and gradients

It dawned on me that, in addition to learning all kinds of things about online education in the process of taking 32 courses in twelve months, I'm also being exposed to a wide range of ideas in those classes that might provide insight into the phenomena being dissected on this blog.
Which means that every now and then, I'd like to do some analysis that taps directly into the substance of one of the courses I've taken. So today, let's see what the principles of property law (which I learned from Coursera's Property and Liability course, taught by Wesleyan's Richard Adelstein) have to say about who owns what relating to MOOCs and college credit.
Three key points taught in that class that will be relevant to this discussion:
(1) While we might think of property as something we own (and thus possess all rights to), in fact any single piece of property might have dozens or hundreds of different rights associated with it (which property law professors urge us to visualize as a bundle of sticks or quiver of arrows), each of which could potentially be owned by different people.
Using an example from Adelstein's class, if Person A wins a $500 contract that allows him to test sirens in his house, but his neighbor – Person B (who realized that the noise of siren testing will result in a loss of $200 worth of value in his home) successfully sues to stop such testing, then Person B has actually won a property right in Person A's home (the right to test sirens there) which Person A chooses to exercise negatively by preventing the sirens from being tested.
(2) That all things being equal (i.e., if there are no barriers to transaction) property rights will always flow to the highest valuing owner in an efficient market. So continuing with Professor Adelstein's siren-testing example, if testing sirens is worth $500 to Person A and only $200 to person B, then no matter who wins that lawsuit mentioned above, sirens will still be tested.
Why? Because if Person A wins the suit, then he wins the property right to test sirens in his home, full stop. But if Person B wins the suit, that right is only worth $200 to him. So if Person A can offer Person B anything more than $200, he can buy that siren-testing right (which is still worth $500 to him). This means that regardless of who wins the lawsuit, the property right will end up in the hands of the person who values it most (with the division of the spoils the only thing up for negotiation).
(3) But all things are rarely equal. If government places taxes or fees on siren testing, for example, those create what are called externalities that can impede or prevent transactions (as can delivery costs and other market factors). So, for example, if the town has a $600 tax on home-based business activity, then someone will not start a siren testing business in their home that only brings in $500, no property right to test sirens will be created, and thus Person A and Person B will have nothing to dispute.
Moving to a different kind of property, who owns a college credit? After all, not anyone can grant one, so it makes sense that a degree-granting institution (such as a college or university) be considered the owner of the right to sell a credit (which really represents a portion of a degree – or, more specifically, to the right to legitimately claim to have a degree from that college or university).
For the sake of simplicity, let's consider a college with a $16,000 per year tuition that requires students to take eight full-credit courses each year, which translates to each credit having a value of $2000.
If students are willing to pay this price, then they can be considered the highest valuing owners of the credit since it is worth more to them to obtain this credit ($2000 to be exact) than it would be for a college or university to hoard (i.e., refuse to share for a fee) the property right to the credit.
But what is the value of this credit to the school? You might think it's nothing since that's what the school would earn if it refused to sell credits (i.e., refused to accept payment for credits in the form of tuition). But if the value of the credit to the school was truly zero then – in theory anyway – students could bargain with schools they want to attend (creating a market for highest valuing owners, which schools would have to accept since anyone offering them anything is worth more than what they'd earn if they had no tuition-paying students).
Here is where those externalities play a role. For most students are not shelling out their own cash for college but are instead paying for credits with money provided by parents, by government (in the form of scholarship and grants) and by financial institutions (in the form of loans). And each of these financial players has cost associated with it in terms of requirements and fees born by both the students obtaining the money and the schools which are the ultimate recipient of cash for credits.
If these externalities prevent a perfect market from forming around college tuition, they also create social norms that schools subscribe to, including the norm to make college accessible to everyone (even those with low incomes). And while most institutions would prefer to maintain a higher per-credit price and expand the pool of money available to pay for those credits (by urging greater state contribution to education, for example), the desire to make college accessible also requires them to keep an open mind to alternatives to paying full-fee for credits.
And MOOCs-for-credit represent one of these alternatives. But this raises the question of what we consider a MOOC to be worth in and of itself (i.e., does the current price of zero dollars for a MOOC absent college credit represent its true value?). And it raises a second question of how much we might be willing to pay for anything equivalent to a college credit that is currently valued in the thousands.
Some answers to those two questions tomorrow.

Working mums earn less after having a baby
According to research entitled 'Boardrooms and Babies' carried out by maternitycover.com, more than 68% of working mothers claim to earn less than they did before having their baby.
1,300 UK women were surveyed for the research which also found that 54% of new mums had to end their maternity leave early because of financial worries.
Other statistics from the research are as follows:
- A mere 5% of respondents experienced an increase in salary
- 5% of respondents got into debt due to maternity leave pay, with 23% of this group blaming their employer's poor maternity package
- 73% of respondents said they are better employees as a result of having a baby, with 32% of this group believing that motherhood has made them more focused and organised.
Paul Jenkins, Chief Executive Officer of Maternitycover.com, said:
Women face countless unspoken taboos when it comes to having children and maintaining a career. Our survey makes this all too clear.
We wanted to drill down into what women really experience, practically and financially, in the workplace when a baby appears on the scene. Only by lifting the lid in this way can we encourage conversation and improve communication between everyone involved.

What is the Treatment for Cocaine Addiction?
Cocaine addiction is an increasingly growing issue across the United States. Not only are more people abusing cocaine, but we are seeing people begin to use cocaine at younger ages.
Treatment for cocaine addiction includes:
- Medical detox
The first step in the treatment of cocaine addiction is a medical detox. Without medical supervision, addicts are more likely to return to using to avoid the physical and mental discomfort of detox.
- Individualized therapy sessions
Individualized therapy sessions allow clients to work through their personal issues in a safe environment. They can work with their therapist to identify what potentially led to their drug use and identify various triggers that could possibly cause a relapse. You will work one-on-one with your therapist to develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific goals and needs.
- Group therapy
Isolation and feelings of loneliness are characteristics of addiction. Surrounding yourself with others who are experiencing similar feelings can help you build a sense of hope and realize that you are not alone. Having a strong support network of peers is one of the fundamental aspects of relapse prevention.
- Dual Diagnosis treatment
Research shows that individuals suffering from psychological or psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder or PTSD are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. Dual diagnosis treatment treats cocaine addiction alongside co-occurring disorders in order to reduce the risk of relapse. It is common for cocaine users to initially feel depressed after they first stop using. Dual diagnosis treatment can help them deal with that depression until they stabilize.
- Sober Living
Long-term treatment is the most effective way to treat cocaine addiction. The effects of cocaine use on the brain can last up to months after the individual has stopped using. It is important that during the first 3 to 6 months of sobriety you are surrounded with the support you need to remain focused on your recovery.
Recovering Souls is a free service that helps individuals struggling with cocaine addiction and various other addictions find treatment. We work with treatment centers across the country and can find the treatment facility that is ideal for your specific needs. In addition to working with treatment centers, we also work with both traditional and faith based transitional living facilities. Our sole purpose is finding people the treatment center that will best benefit them and give them the greatest possible chance of getting—and staying—sober. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you.

follows: "A fabulous coin that boasts highly frosted devices which

another copper speck is located at the end of the branch both of which
confirm that this is the DiBello coin, and previously its from the

How-To: To make a leopard miniskirt, sew the short ends of the fabric together. Turn top edge down 1" to form casing for elastic waistband, then stitch, leaving opening to insert elastic. Cut elastic to the measurement of your child's waist plus 1". Feed elastic through casing using a safety pin. Pull elastic to fit comfortably, and sew ends together. Hem bottom of skirt, and glue marabou around the bottom edge. Use scraps of fabric to make kitty ears and a scarf to tie a bow around your child's neck; glue ears to headband. Wear skirt over leotard and complete the outfit with black boots.
Supplies: Danskin leotard #2418 and tights #387 in theatrical pink, embroidered and felt flower trims, hot glue gun, 2 yards of 2" satin ribbon, 6 bandannas in assorted pink prints, pink net tutu, cowgirl hat, boots.
How-To: Glue decorations around neckline of leotard. Cut ribbon long enough to form a waistband with extra to tie in back. Cut bandannas in half lengthwise. Gather top edge of each bandanna piece into a point, and pin to the back of the ribbon, covering a section equaling your child's waist measurement. Sew bandannas to ribbon, and wear bandanna skirt over a tutu. Complete the outfit with a cowgirl hat and boots.
Supplies: square cardboard box big enough to cover your child's torso, 1-2 yards heavy white fabric (enough to cover box), 10 black felt circles 3" to 4" in diameter, fabric glue, Danskin leotard #6312 in black or white, black and white tights, black and white ribbon, 2 pairs of dice, black shoes.

Cut these squares out, adding a 1/2" seam allowance. Sew or glue pieces together, cover the box with fabric, and attach with glue. Cut fabric away from holes and secure edge of fabric to the underside of the box with glue. Glue felt dots to each side of box. Tie black and white ribbon together to make a hair bow, and glue dice to the bow. Wear box over leotard; cut and combine two pairs of tights so one leg is black and one is white.
Supplies: tunic or vest pattern (such as Simplicity #5520), 1 1/2 yards harlequin-print fabric, white turtleneck knit top for boy or white leotard for girl, white sweatpants, riding boots, cap, swimming goggles, gloves, hobbyhorse.
How-To: Following pattern directions, make a vest or tunic from harlequin fabric. Use a scrap of fabric to make an armband with number, and pin or sew it to the sleeve of the turtleneck. Stuff sweatpants into boots, place goggles on the cap, wear gloves in a contrasting color, grab your hobbyhorse, and go!
Hula Dancer CostumeSupplies: 1/2 yard green Lycra, rotary cutter with wavy-edge blade, 1 yard of 1" elastic, 3 floral leis, hot glue gun, Danskin leotard #8969 in turquoise worn over leotard #9191 in light toast and tights #712 in light toast

How-To: Cut out a peacock-tail shape from pillow form (like a six-fingered hand). Trace tail shape on two pieces of blue fabric, adding about 1/2" for seam allowance. Sew around edges of fabric on three sides, leaving bottom edge open. Turn inside out and stuff pillow into casing. Sew brocade trim to peacock tail, and glue tail and feathers to the back of the sweatsuit, as shown in the photo, and glue more feathers to the front of the sweatsuit. Glue Styrofoam-ball eyes and felt beak to the top of the sweatsuit hood.

To make a leaf hat, cut a leaf shape from pillow form (about 12" long, as shown in photo). Trace this shape on two pieces of green fleece, adding about 1/2" for seam allowance. Sew around edges of fleece on three sides, leaving bottom edge open. Turn inside out, and stuff pillow into casing. Sew through all three layers in the middle to add texture. Place beret on your child's head, and glue or sew stuffed leaf on top.
Supplies: rectangular cardboard box big enough to cover your child's torso, 1-2 yards heavy red fabric (enough to cover box), hot glue gun, black and white posterboard, 1/2 yard dalmatian-print fabric (or use white fabric and draw spots with black fabric marker), staple gun, red sweatsuit, firefighter hat.
How-To: Remove bottom of the box, and cut a hole in the top so your child can step into it and pull box up to waist height. Trace the top and four sides of box onto wrong side of red fabric. Cut these pieces out, adding a 1/2" seam allowance. Sew or glue pieces together, cover the box with fabric, and attach with glue. Cut fabric away from hole and secure fabric edge to the underside of the box with glue. Cut four black and four white posterboard circles for wheels and glue them to the bottom of the box. Cut two suspenders from fabric, and staple them to the hole so the fire engine box fits comfortably on your child's shoulders. Wear the box costume over a red sweatsuit, and add a red firefighter's hat.

- A tight waterproof one piece headscarf
- A second tight waterproof one piece headscarf that can be tied on to you to change into after water obstacles – the cold water blocks up in your ears under the scarf
- Expensive quality leggings and t-shirt

One of TGWA's most important initiatives is to provide financial assistance for students in the industry to pursue a college degree. For more than 30 years, TGWA has provided hundreds of students across Texas with collegiate scholarships. The TGWA scholarship is specifically intended for applicants who are associated with water well drilling or for those who are interested in studying other aspects of the groundwater science industry.
In 2017, the TGWA Boards of Directors authorized the creation of the TGWA Scholarship Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization created to further the mission of the Texas Ground Water Association and take over the awarding of scholarships to Texas students who have a background or interest in groundwater and the water well drilling industry. The Foundation is currently in the process of developing its board and policies, and TGWA members and the Board will be meeting on these items during the May 5, 2018 TGWA Board meetings. Once approved, the application and eligibility criteria will be available on this website.
The scholarship application period is now closed. Awards will be announced in late July or early August 2018. Please continue to visit our website for updates on new scholarship requirements. For more information, please email us.
*If you applied for a TGWA scholarship for the first time in the 2017-2018 school year, then you must reapply for the 2018-2019 year.

88 Behind the scenes photos from the Lord of the Rings – reddit repost
I really love how happy the cast all looks. You hear in interviews that they all loved working on the films, but its nice to see that they're genuinely enjoying themselves.
Agreed. Looks like an awesome experience to have worked on that for the years they did. Like summer camp hanging with friends but you get swords.
And lots and lots of money.
The Nazgul with matching umbrellas made me chuckle.
Could've used them when they confronted Arwen at the river.
I'd like to see the Nazgul chasing away seagulls on the beach with the umbrella.
Really? I thought the idea of Minas Morgul being in some random middle-class neighborhood really funny. "Dear, what's that out the window?" "Oh, that? That's just the Eye of Sauron. Finish your breakfast."
FALSE. They eye of Sauron was not located in Minas Morgul.
Thank you, Dwight.
The miniature work on those 3 films were excellent.
Fun fact- they started calling them "bigatures" during the production because it just felt wrong to call something that was 30 feet tall "miniature."
that was a fun fact. Thank you!

Vancouver comics artists' work is being seen by more people than ever before.
It's all thanks to an initiative on the part of local publisher/collective Cloudscape Comics, working with the City of Vancouver's Cultural Department.
Comics in Transit is a public art project that brings comics by local artists to transit shelters. Bus-riders and passersby can view work by some of the city's most talented illustrators, including Colin Upton, Steve Rolston, and The Simpsons/Futurama comics artists James Lloyd and Nina Matsumoto.
In total, 20 giant-sized one-page comics will be going up before the end of October. Some are already installed, including Matsumoto's, which is at the busy Dunbar & 41st stop.

Dreamfall Chapters has successfully completed its funding campaign, raising a total of $1,538,425 USD through the Kickstarter crowdfunding service. The project's original goal – the smallest amount of money with which the developer could complete the game – was $850,000 USD. The additional funding means the game will be coming to additional platforms, like Mac and Linux, and will feature additional in-game content.
Notably, the project managed to achieve the last of its funding "stretch goals" before the end of the campaign. This goal of $1,500,000 USD was titled "the Director's Cut", and "adds back all the content we had to cut for cost reasons, along with a director's commentary of the game". The developer explained that by reaching this target, far beyond the original $850,000 USD goal, they can "hire more people [… and] bring back the locations, characters, puzzles and conversations that were left on the cutting room floor".
You can find out more about Dreamfall Chapters, which is currently slated for release around November 2014, on its Kickstarter campaign page here.

Do Snoring Chin Straps Work?
Like many snorers, I too had avoided several snoring chin straps in the past. This was primarily because I feared discomfort, difficulty in operation and couldn't really rely on the products that I came across. But once I ended up with the right device, I realized that it led to a significant difference to my overall lifestyle.
When it comes to choosing the right anti-snoring mouthpiece, one of the primary things that you should check is the fit and the comfort of the device. Your device is only perfect when it happens to be comfortable to wear. Additionally, it should also be backed by some of the best features. In case you're still skeptical about the features and are wondering, do snoring chin straps work; here's everything that you need to know about it.
What makes a good snoring chin strap?
Two primary features that every snoring chin strap should come with, is softness and flexibility. Softness is essential as it would render the necessary comfort. At the same time, it should also be flexible enough so that you get the chance of opening and closing your mouth while talking or even sipping water with the strap-on. In either case, a good snoring strap will ensure that your lower jaw is well extended forward and that you experience no difficulties in performing your daily chores while using it.
Another thing that you should specifically ensure is the build-quality of the product. A good snoring chin strap is usually made from high-quality materials. This material does not contain any BPA or Latex. At the same time, it is also approved by the Food and Drug Administration department of the United States. A good quality snoring strap is made from materials which, is well tested and which does not come with any acrylics. Not only should it look comfortable, but it should actually offer you real-time comfort.
Most of these snoring straps also come with airflow posts. These posts further ensure that you're not able to completely keep your mouth closed while also blocking the airflow, as you sleep. This indicates that the strap is a great product for individuals who have the tendency to breath from their mouth. The mouth straps also come in a set of two. So if one does not give you the expected results, you can always use the second one that is likely to extend your jaw a little farther.
The final thing that you should consider before buying a snoring chin strap is its fitting process. There is no point in splurging in a product which is difficult to fit. So try to choose something that is soft, can be easily operated and can be quickly trimmed if it happens to be bigger than the expected size. Maintaining these chin straps is equally simple as you can easily clean them with dish soap and your toothbrush.
Considering the fact that these are the features that go into making a good snoring chin strap, always splurge on a product that comes equipped with these tweaks.
Do Snoring Chin Straps Work?
As I already told you, I had always been skeptical about using these snoring chin straps. But once I stumbled upon the right product, there was absolutely no looking back. If you've worn a mouthpiece in the past, and have completely hated your overall experience from it, you will really love the design of a snoring chin strap. The one that I use is not designed like an invasive set of plastic which is primarily meant for locking my mouth. This one lets me breathe and the material is really comfortable around my gums. Furthermore, I also loved the fact that it takes up relatively lesser space when compared to other leading mouthpieces.
My mouthpiece also seemed to work because it comes with airflow holes. These holes let me wear the product like a breather along my mouth. So if you're someone who suffers from nasal polyps, deviated ranges of the septum or even issues related to sinus, this mouthpiece will let proper airflow to pass through your mouth. As a result, your sleep will be a tad more comfortable and relaxing. You can also wear this piece if your nose is stuffy. It'll let enough air pass and also keep you comfortable, all the way around.
How does a chin strap work?
As you wear a chin strap, right before you sleep, it will act a sling which is meant for holding your jaw in proper position. Owing to this, your mouth will stay closed and the upfront position of your jaw will further reduce the impending risk of your throat and tongue tissues falling along to get your airways blocked. As a final result, your snoring will be reduced drastically.
If you have a prior history of being affected by sleep apnea, then your doctor is likely to ask you to use this strap. The chin strap here is used as a continuous and positive airway pressure machine. The mechanism of this device will force air right along with your throat with the help of a mask. In this process, the pressure incurred by the air which flows in will play a vital role in keeping your airway open.
However, if you are someone who has the habit of sleeping with their mouth open, this can lead to counterproductive effects. Here, the air will enter your throat through the mask while escaping out of your mouth and in the entire process; it will not perform your intended function of keeping the airways open. This will further lead to deteriorating your condition and due to this reason, doctors recommended patients diagnosed with sleep apnea (who sleep while keeping their mouths open) to use this snoring chin strap along with proper and consistent therapies of CPAP.
A better option to prevent snoring is using a mouthpiece like ZQuiet. You can find a ZQuiet coupon on our homepage.
Chin straps are therefore one of the simplest and easiest anti-snoring devices. They are simple in operation and incredibly comfortable. The most basic form of these straps comes with a fabric cup that is meant to support your chin and two straps that extend along the sides of your face reaching the top of your head.
