My Star Wars Proposal 🙂
Straight out of my secret Star Wars playbook – how to do a Star Wars Proposal. 🙂
1. Commission an Australian Cartoonist (http://www.bluedogcartoons.com.au/) to draw a picture of you proposing to the most gorgeous girl in the world – of course, based on your favorite scene from Star Wars.
2. Prepare a page just like this one here on your blog.
3. Print a QR code pointing her here to this page.
4. Prepare an envelope, tricking her to believe it is from someone else when she sees it.
5. Put the QR code into the envelope.
6. Be all like: "Wtf is that envelope? Wait a minute, where is that coming from? Oh, there's a QR code in it? Oooh, I would like to see what happens if you scan it!"
7. Hope she scans it.
8. Watch her face.
9. At the right time drop to your knees and pop the question.
10. Hope she says "Yes!".
She was 'afraid' and didn't want to scan the code herself, so I had to do it for her. Which was a blessing because I had the chance to let the website load without her seeing the URL on the screen because that would have given away that the code links to my website up front.
But more important: SHE SAID YES! 🙂
Thanks to BlueDog for the great drawing. If you fancy a drawing of yourself, you should visit his website. Well, visit it anyhow, it's fun. http://www.bluedogcartoons.com.au/
In case you wonder: Still together and happy. 🙂

A customer had a video application that gathers information as it runs. Every so often, they need to take all this information, process it, and save it to a database. They perform this processing every fifteen seconds, but they found that whenever the processing occurred, it created enough of a CPU hiccup that the application would drop frames whenever the updates were being processed.
The customer solved the problem by calling
SetThreadPriority with the
THREAD_ priority level
at the start of the update, and then
THREAD_ when the update
was complete.
This reduces the impact of the update on foreground activity,
and it seemed to do a good job of getting rid of the glitches.
And then later, they were investigating an unrelated problem, and as part of their investigation, they noticed that the very first time to enter background mode sometimes took over two seconds to complete. This initial update happened to take place as part of the application's startup, which meant that the long delay was directly affecting the application's startup time.
Further investigation revealed that this extra-long delay occurred only if the application was launched shortly after the machine was rebooted. If the system had been running for a while before the application was run, then the delay was not observed.
What's going on here?
What's going on here is that the system is doing exactly what you asked it to do. You said, "Please reduce the priority of this thread to minimize its impact on the rest of the system." And shortly after a system boots up, there's a lot of activity. Since you said that the thread should have minimal impact on the rest of the system, the thread gets stalled behind all those other activities.
"It's okay. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
"Hey, why aren't you paying attention to me?"
The thread said that it wants to run at very low priority, and the main consequence of running at very low priority is that it gets very low priority. The application didn't notice this most of the time because the system usually had enough spare capacity that it could deal even with very low priority things relatively promptly. But once the system gets busy, those very low priority things may end up having to wait a long time.
One the customer understood that this was a problem of their own creation, there were a few possible solutions.
One solution was to suppress the call to lower the thread's priority if the application is still starting up. During startup, update the database at normal priority instead of low priority.
What the customer chose to do was simply to suppress database updates completely when the application is starting up. The application will update the databases in the background after everything else is off and running.

Dr. Paul Donnan Awarded the Barbara B. Rose Volunteer of the Year
By Jessica Herrera on July 21, 2017
Atlanta (GA) -- The Midtown Atlanta Rotary Club honored Empowerment Resource Center's Dr. Paul Donnan as the 2017 Barbara B. Rose Volunteer of
the Year. This is the eleventh year that the local civic organization has honored a community volunteer with a ceremony and donations to the
volunteer's nominating organization.
When Empowerment Resource Center (ERC) was tasked by the Midtown Atlanta Rotary to nominate a volunteer who has made a significant impact on our organization, it was immediately clear who had tirelessly given their time, energy and resources to assist ERC's mission and vision. That individual was Dr. Paul Donnan. He has an extensive volunteer background with ERC and the community at large, as a volunteer coach for the Georgia Tech Rugby Team; volunteer Medical Director for the Center for Black Women's Wellness safety clinic; Board Member for the Atlanta Dogwood Festival; precept for first-year medical students from Emory University; and precept for Nurse Practitioner students from Mercer University and Georgia State University.
"His willingness to listen, learn and go above and beyond for his clients is what makes him a wonderful physician, volunteer and asset to the ERC team." - Sherrie Powell
"Dr. Donnan has been a great help and influence for me. Not only is he my primary care physician, I consider him a friend," said Sherrie
Powell, Executive Assistant of Empowerment Resource Center. "I would not have been able to be a part of Empowerment Resource Center, had he
not suggested that I apply for a volunteer position. I am extremely thankful ever day that I followed his advice."
Since 2010, Dr. Donnan has been a committed volunteer to ERC, initially serving as volunteer physician, then humbly accepting the position as Medical Director for the ERC Comprehensive Intervention Clinic and finally volunteering as Treasurer for the ERC Board of Directors. Under his exceptional leadership, the ERC Comprehensive Intervention Clinic has blossomed from a small community clinic providing HIV screening and prevention services to offering family planning counseling and services, mental health therapy and psychiatric medication management. With the support of Dr. Donnan, ERC has consistently ensured the provision of free and low-cost clinical services to the economically and medically underserved. His passion for helping others manifests itself in countless ways for ERC and the communities that ERC is privileged to serve.
We are extremely proud of Dr. Donnan and his accomplishments. Congratulations, Dr. Donnan, there is no one more deserving of this award than you!

Some two million Muslims poured out of the holy city of Mecca under the supervision of 100,000 troops deployed to ensure the safety of the pilgrims.
Abdullah Al-Rabi, the Saudi Health Minister, said no cases had been detected among the pilgrims. The virus has killed 60 people worldwide, 51 of them in Saudi Arabia.
The pilgrims moved from Mecca to nearby Mina valley by road, by train or on foot, the men wearing ihram, the seamless two-piece white garment that rituals require, the women covered up except for their faces and hands.
In Mina, a small site with 45,000 fire-resistant tents that can accommodate two million people, they will pray and rest before moving on to Mount Arafat on Monday for the climax of the pilgrimage rituals.
The recently constructed electric railway is scheduled to carry 400,000 of the pilgrims taking part in the world's largest annual gathering.
Gen Mansur al-Turki, the Interior ministry spokesman, said the kingdom "will not allow any action that may subject the pilgrims' safety to risk".
Security forces are monitoring the holy sites in and around Mecca with 4,200 hi-tech cameras, some of which are so advanced that can cover a distance of 37 miles.
Authorities said more than 20,000 buses are ferrying the pilgrims to Mina using 58 tunnels under Mecca's high mountains.
But some pilgrims, like Egyptian Mustafa Abu el-Wafa, decided to walk the 10-kilometre distance despite the heat and humidity.
"I am so excited that I finally managed to perform the hajj and come to the areas that the Prophet (Mohammed) had once been to," Wafa said as he walked towards Mina.
From Mina, pilgrims will head to nearby Mount Arafat, where they spend Monday in prayer until sunset.
The oil-rich kingdom has also mobilised huge medical and civil defence resources to ensure the smooth movement of the pilgrims, around 1.4 million of whom come from abroad.
That figure is down on last year's 1.75 million.
Riyadh has imposed a 20-percent cut this year on the quota for pilgrims coming from abroad.
It has also slashed the number of domestic pilgrims by half because of MERS virus fears and reduced capacity resulting from multi-billion-dollar construction work.
The fact that the kingdom accounts for the overwhelming majority of MERS cases reported around the world has raised concerns pilgrims could be infected and return to their homelands carrying the virus.
The hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam that every capable Muslim must perform at least once.
Despite being marred by deadly incidents in the past, including floods, stampedes and fires, in recent years, the hajj has passed nearly incident-free, thanks to multi-billion-dollar projects being implemented every year.

First thing that comes to mind? Yup! Creme brûlée... I've been psyched to use this new torch and am so pleased with it's ability so far. I purchased this one for 22$ at a store called Kitchen Collection, located at our local Outlet center. It came with a few Creme brûlée ramekins but were a little too small for my liking. I purchased flat circular ramekins (shown below) that did very well.
To make the Creme brûlée I used Barefoot Contessa's recipe (click here). It couldn't be anymore perfect - especially if you cover them before burning the tops, and let them sit in the fridge overnight. Easy to prepare prior to having company over.
I also look forward to using the torch in other recipes. Here are some examples to try: browning fancy mashed potatoes, crisping bread crumb toppings on Mac and cheese and casserole dishes, browning oatmeal, making smores, melting cheeses and much more!
I'd love to hear some other ideas that you use your torch for! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Excel properties for new UDF

How to use _Excel_RangeSort to sort my excel file by three different headers Column A1, B1, and C1 have headers on which I want to sort by. The headers on which I want to sort are department, employee type, and name.
I still really new to AutoIt so I do not actually know how to properly start this line or lines of code, to be honest. The example code is the best I can do.
_Excel_RangeSort($OpenWorkbook, Default, "A1:C1", "1:1", $xlDescending, Default, $xlYes, Default, $xlSortRows) I just need to sort by those three headers in that order of department, employee type, and name, plus in descending order.
any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good morning. I have a system I am trying to automate that works like this: user fills a column in an Excel spreadsheet with values they would like printed and saves it to a folder on their desktop, they start the script and it formats their data into a text file (adding a prefix) and sends the text file as a .bch file where it needs to go. This is working:
#include <Array.au3> #include <Excel.au3> #include <File.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Global $sSTCArray Global $sFilename = @DesktopDir & "\Labels\print.txt" Global $sWorkbook = @DesktopDir & "\Labels\Labels.xlsx" Global $oExcel = _Excel_Open(False,False,False,False,True) barcodePrint() Func barcodePrint() $Read = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel, $sWorkbook, True, False, Default, Default, Default) FileOpen($sFilename, $FO_OVERWRITE) ;Global $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookAttach($oExcel) Global $sSTCArray = _Excel_RangeRead($Read) For $i = 0 to UBound($sSTCArray, 1) - 1 FileWriteLine($sFilename, "!StaticShelving1x3_ZPL," & $sSTCArray[$i]) Next _Excel_Close($oExcel) FileMove($sFilename, "***file path***\print.bch") EndFunc However, it only works if the user first formats the spreadsheet to text. I want to automate that. From what I have read it appears AutoIt does not like formatting cells that already have values. True? Can I pull the values from an un-formatted (default GENERAL format) spreadsheet and go straight to my text file? I have also considered opening a second spreadsheet, formatting it, and copying the values over. Like this:
Global $sPrefix Global $oPath Global $sSTCArray Global $sFilename = @DesktopDir & "\Labels\print.txt" Global $sWorkbook = @DesktopDir & "\Labels\Labels.xlsx" Global $oExcel = _Excel_Open(False,False,False,False,True) Global $aArray Global $bExcel _Excel_BookNew($bExcel) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 $aArray = IniReadSection("***File path***\barcode.ini", "stc/rvt/mgm") $sPrefix = $aArray[1][1] $oPath = $aArray[2][1] barcodePrint() EndSwitch WEnd Func barcodePrint() $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookOpen($bExcel, @DesktopDir & "\Labels\print.xlsx") $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Columns("A").NumberFormat = "@" Local $Read = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel, $sWorkbook, True, False, Default, Default, Default) $oCopy = _Excel_RangeRead($sWorkbook) _Excel_RangeWrite($oWorkbook, Default, $oCopy) FileOpen($sFilename, $FO_OVERWRITE) $sSTCArray = _Excel_RangeRead($Read,"Default","Default",3) ;_ArrayDisplay($sSTCArray) For $i = 0 to UBound($sSTCArray, 1) - 1 FileWriteLine($sFilename, $sPrefix & $sSTCArray[$i]) Next _Excel_Close($oExcel) ;FileMove($sFilename, $oPath) Exit EndFunc This does not like the formatting of $oWorkbook: "Variable must be of type 'Object'". Do I need this second sheet? If so, how can I format it? Is there a better way to get the Excel values into a .txt file? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am trying to keep only the filtered rows in an excel sheet but couldn't find a fast way to do it for a 1k+ rows file.
Tried going through each row to see if it's hidden or not and if it is, delete it but it's not fast:
Local $oExcel = _Excel_Open() Local $File = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel, $Filepath) Local $LastRow = $File.Activesheet.Range("A1000000").End(-4162).Row _Excel_FilterSet($File, Default, Default, 1, "Test") For $j=1 To $LastRow If $File.Activesheet.Range("A"&$j).EntireRow.Hidden Then _Excel_RangeDelete($File.Activesheet,$j&":"&$j) Next I found a VBA macro that works great but I am having a hard time converting it to be able to use it in my script:
Sub RemoveHiddenRows() Dim oRow As Range, rng As Range Dim myRows As Range Set myRows = Intersect(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A").EntireRow, Sheets("Sheet1").UsedRange) For Each oRow In myRows.Columns(1).Cells If oRow.EntireRow.Hidden Then If rng Is Nothing Then Set rng = oRow Else Set rng = Union(rng, oRow) End If End If Next If Not rng Is Nothing Then rng.EntireRow.Delete End Sub I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me so I can use this part in my autoit script.

2017 NFL Draft: When, Where & Who Will Go First, Everything You Need To Know
You are on the clock! The 2017 NFL Draft will take place in Philadelphia where fans will gather to find out who will play where. If you are wondering, when is NFL Draft 2017? Keep reading, we have everything you need to know right here.
The Cleveland Browns have the number one pick in the NFL draft which will be held in Philadelphia, PA. over 3 days, beginning on Apr. 27th, at 8pm EST. The Browns will get to choose first overall in the opening round which will feature 32 picks. First on everyone's list to go is Myles Garrett, a total monster.The 21 year old defensive end from Texas A&M is a beast and is expected to be the first overall pick in the 2017. The dude is 6'4″, 272 lbs, and runs a 4.64 40. Oh yeah, and the kid has mad hops. Apparently he can jump higher than New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.. Check it out:
Confirmed: Myles Garrett is a FREAK. #NFLCombine pic.twitter.com/bG1qUICVSw
— NFL (@NFL) March 5, 2017
This draft is full of defense. Every NFL analyst has defensive players filling the top ten picks of the 2017 NFL Draft which has a class void of quality offensive athletes. Wide receivers, quarterbacks, running backs and other offensive stars fill in the second and third rounds of the draft.
Click Here For Pics Of The Hunks Of The NFL
The New Orleans Saints will go last. Having acquired the pick from the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots, the Saints will end the first round with the last pick. Back at the top, after the Browns, the top five include the San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans.
Mitchell Trubisky is the quarterback to watch. Mitchell, from North Carolina, may be the only QB to go in the top ten. Expect maybe only two QB's to get selected in the first round which is dominated by defense. The other QB anticipated to go high in the draft? Deshaun Watson of Clemson, who is versatile in and out of the pocket and shined in two national title games.
HollywoodLifers, will you be watching the epic 2017 NFL Draft? Who do you want your team to pick?

Hi, I would just like to share my story about my life with my husband . Many years ago maybe 7 or so my husband came to my dr visit with me , he was a neurologist for my epilepsy ..Somehow my husband got talking about his back pain and my doc referred him. I guess it all started from there.
He has been on many different kinds of pain pills from percocet to oxycontin .
I feel my marriage went down the drain many years ago after one of his employees told my sister that he was very happy and loving to a girl at his office ( we owned a company at that time ) she said she wanted me to know because she felt it was wrong and she would want someone to tell her if in that position .
Well later i found out he brought this girl with him to las vegas with two other male employees for a trade show , he never mentioned bringing a girl .
When he got home i said I was leaving him and he had a break down saying it was all about the pills ..he was getting pills from this girl so he felt obligated to bring her etc.
Since then it's been hard ..He has always been very loving to me ..kisses and hugs me , makes dinner almost every night , brings home flowers all the time, always trys to get intimate but i always come up with excuses. He is a good daddy to our now 9 year old daughter . But ever since I found out about that girl I have never felt the same .He swears nothing sexual ever happened between them but I find that hard to believe .
Anyway since then he did switch from his oxycontin to methadone but his whole pill life is hidden from me , he never tells me when he has a doc appointment etc and he never has his pills out they are always hidden . I just recently found out from a receipt he is also taking oxycodone with his methadone .
I brought it up the other day and he said he keeps it all hidden because i make him feel like shit about it and himself . I can't help it .
He is very different now from when we first met . He always seems hyper and never sits ..just paces back and forth from place to place usually on the porch because he smokes nonstop .
He always makes me feel stressed because he never stays still . My brother in law also has a pill problem from back pain so they share pills back and forth when someone runs out . I found this out through his text messages .
Help i just don't know what to do .

Responses (2)
I dont think you can take methadone and oxycodone together,Methadone is a maintenence drug to keep you from taking other pain killers from what Ive heard.If hes taken methadone the other is not working hes wasting his money.I know they use methadone for pain too.But Ive never heard of it being used seperate and or mixed like that.Im not positive though. Thats not written in blood.Pull up methadone and see what it says?

Greek Mythology
What Are Myths?
Who Were the Greeks?
The Greeks believed in myths and stories of Gods and Heroes. They worshiped in many gods whom could influence their lives.
Now, people no longer worship the gods of Ancient Greece. But, many things around us has been named after their Gods, heroes, and monsters. For example, the groups of stars known as Orian and Scorpius are named for Orian the hunter and the scorpian who stung him.
What Were the Temples Like?

6. Poseidon
7. Demeter
8. Artemis

Research the various Gods and Goddesses. Choose a God or Goddess and construct a 3D temple based on him or her. The temple must fit in a shoe box. Be creative and use various materials.
Write an Acrostic poem for the God or Goddess.
Myths are stories created by people to explain natural events that occur in nature, such as day and night, the four seasons, hurricanes, etc.
In the ancient world, people did not understand how things occurred in nature. So, a group of people from the country of Greece created gods and goddesses who were each in charge of certain areas in nature. They also created myths or stories about these gods and goddesses to explain natural events. The Greeks also built temples, worshiped, and honored these gods and goddesses. Some of these temples and shrines still stand today!
The Greeks put statues of the gods inside temples. Some temples were quite small, others very large and beautiful, with amazing decorations. The most famous temple in Greece is the Parthenon (which you can still see today) in Athens. Every city in Greece had a 'patron' god or goddess - a special god whom people believed protected them from harm.
People went to a temple to pray for help - perhaps when they were sick, going on a journey, or worried about the harvest.
Titans Titanic
Mercury mercurial
nemesis fury
epic to harp
phobia platonic
Achilles' heel herculian
The Midas Touch Hot as Hades
Labyrinth odyssey
Pandora's Box
These gods ruled from Mount Olympus and many temples were built to them. The people felt that if the gods were happy, they would enjoy good health, crops would be plentiful, and life would be good. If the gods were displeased, then they would send famine, drought, earthquakes (from Poseidon), storms, and lightning (from Zeus).
Daughter was taken while gathering flowers.
Every Spring and Summer, her daughter come back, then leaves again for the Fall and the Winter.
Mother of Persephone, and the goddess of agriculture.
Emerging from the Underworld, Hades took Persephone to become his queen in the Underworld.
The crops did wither when Demeter's daughter was taken.
Earth bears fruit once more when Persephone comes back.
Rejoice when Persephone comes back to the Earth.

How We Got Here: The Context for Review of the Common Cirriculum at CSB/SJU
In 1988, what were then separate faculties at the College of Saint Benedict (CSB) and Saint John's University (SJU) created a single curriculum for students at both schools. This "Core Curriculum" was a major step in the unification of academic affairs at CSB/SJU. It remained in effect until 2006-07, when the Joint Faculty Assembly replaced it with the present "Common Curriculum." (The JFA approved components of the Common Curriculum in separate votes throughout the 2006-2007 academic year, with changes to the First Year Seminar made in September 2006 and the Gender requirement adopted at the last meeting of the academic year in April 2007.)
The CSB/SJU Common Curriculum defines a set of general education requirements that every student must satisfy for graduation. It combines a set of distributional requirements with a set of common courses and learning experiences. The common courses, which bookend the typical student's four years here, are the First Year Seminar and the Ethics Common Seminar. (See Appendix B for a list of current Common Curriculum requirements.)
In 2007-2008, an Academic Affairs Steering Committee initiated a process to completely revamp disciplinary program review and assessment. As the first cycle of disciplinary program review was completed, attention shifted to program review of the Common Curriculum.
In September 2011, a three-person team, led by Charles Blaich, the Director of Inquiries at the Wabash College Center of Inquiry for the Liberal Arts, a leading research center on liberal arts education, visited campus and helped formulate the questions that would guide this program review. The team met with dozens of people, and its report is available on the CCVC public Moodle site. Among the team's conclusions:
- There was broad dissatisfaction among faculty with how the Common Curriculum was created and a sense that there was a lack of broad faculty ownership of the Common Curriculum;
- Despite the name, the Common Curriculum is not common. Students can move through the general education requirements in multiple ways and this raises questions about the possible variation in the quality of Common Curriculum experience;
- Since the Joint Faculty Assembly adopted components of the Common Curriculum in a series of separate votes, general education at CSB/SJU lacks an overall vision;
- While the approval process for Common Curriculum designations is rigorous, there is no follow up to ensure that courses still deliver the outcomes, content, and pedagogy required;
- With so much of the Common Curriculum located in distributive requirements in various departments, students and their advisors have focused on "checking boxes." The requirements are not carefully orchestrated;
- An assessment process should create interesting and engaging findings so faculty are more willing to participate in the process;
- The Wabash team reminded us that CSB/SJU is the size of a mid-sized private university, not a small, residential, liberal arts college (Ottenhoff, Wise, and Blaich, 2011).
Following this visit, the institutions, led by Ken Jones, continued to collect available evidence of student learning, administer other nationally-normed instruments to evaluate student learning, and compile significant amounts of data about how students satisfied the requirements of the Common Curriculum and why they made the choices they did. (Prior to the Wabash team visit, CSB/SJU had well-developed assessment in FYS, and many areas such as Math, Theology, Natural Science, Social Science, and the Languages had instruments and were collecting data.) Evidence of student learning in the Common Curriculum came from a number of different sources, including the use of both homegrown assessment instruments and nationally norm-referenced assessment instruments. The institutions collected evidence of student learning from the beginning of the implementation of the new Common Curriculum in 2007.
In the fall of 2013, the Joint Faculty Senate appointed an ad hoc task force on Common Curriculum Program Review (CCPR), to review all the available information that had been gathered on the Common Curriculum. The charge reads:
The JFS charges the ad hoc committee on the Common Curriculum Program Review to: (a) review the Common Curriculum learning goals, (b) solicit faculty concerns regarding the Common Curriculum, (c) review the Common Curriculum assessment data, (d) review the Common Curriculum descriptive data, and (e) review the document entitled Summary of the Common Curriculum Overview.
In November 2013, the CCPR facilitated two Joint Faculty Assembly forums to discuss the Common Curriculum. At the forums, faculty and staff were invited to provide comments regarding the current Common Curriculum and suggestions for change. A series of questions were presented to those in attendance in order to provide some structure to the discussion. The forums were well attended and several themes emerged from the discussions, including:
- The need for continued faculty discussion regarding the value of a liberal arts education and the purpose of the CSB/SJU Common Curriculum.
- The recognition that the transition from the old Core Curriculum to the current Common Curriculum occurred without a discussion of the purpose of general education at CSB/SJU. There was no discussion of what we want students to know when they graduate from these institutions.
- Students and advisors have the perception that Common Curriculum requirements need to be "checked off." Students do not understand the purpose of the requirements or how the courses relate to each other.
- The desire for a mission statement (or a vision document or framing document) for the Common Curriculum that would provide context for the Common Curriculum and, perhaps, facilitate faculty ownership of the Common Curriculum.
- The Common Curriculum student learning goals and, in turn, the curricular model should be developed from, and be consistent with, the Common Curriculum mission statement (or a vision document or framing document).
- There are currently relatively few common experiences across Common Curriculum courses, as suggested in the Wabash report. Several reasons for the relatively few common experiences were suggested in the discussions, including the lack of a common framework for the Common Curriculum, insufficient resources, the independent nature of CSB/SJU faculty members, and work avoidance on the part of CSB/SJU faculty members.
- Any changes to the Common Curriculum would likely have intended and unintended consequences, including consequences impacting the institutions, departments, individual faculty members, current students, and prospective students. These practical considerations need to be a part of any discussion regarding Common Curriculum reform.
After review and discussions with many faculty members and other stakeholders, the CCPR concluded: "At this point the recommendation of this committee is to begin fresh with a new vision for what we want our students to be able to do upon graduation. We choose not to dwell on the fact that we might be abandoning the Common Curriculum after just a short lifespan, rather we choose to look at the current Common Curriculum as an extension of the old Core Curriculum (though with slightly shorter arms). Our finding is that there is little or no support for the current model and that it is in the best interest of our students to begin with a fresh vision. We suggest beginning with the questions of: 1) What do we want an educated Johnny and Bennie to look like after graduation; 2) What is our vision for the Common Curriculum (is it to be a truly "common" experience or is it to be a "distributive" model); 3) Do the missions of these institutions support a liberal-arts based common model; 4) What will our future students look like and how can we best serve them?"

I occasionally make objects from card or paper. I call my wooden creations sculpture because I don't consider myself a carpenter. Various DIY projects and experiments led me to trying my hand at making garden ornaments.
With regard to my craft 'skills', using the term loosely; I started with the usual painting, electrics, shelving, carpet-fitting and other household needs and then I extended my tools to go beyond brushes, a hammer and two different screwdrivers ....
I built a garden gate, several interior doors, an interior partition wall, and then I got creative with the bits that were left behind. It's mainly 'sculpture' through recycling.

NETL Director Highlights Progress of Research for Separating Rare Earth Elements from Coal and Coal By-Products at National Conference
During a presentation at the American Coal Ash Association (ACAA) Winter Meeting in Tampa, FL, NETL Director Dr. Grace Bochenek outlined an aggressive research initiative focused on discovering ways to separate and recover rare earth elements (REEs) from coal and coal by-products for use in an expanding array of consumer products.
REEs are chemical elements found in the Earth's crust that have unique chemical properties that make them essential components in many technologies like hybrid vehicles, wind turbines, fluorescent lights, computer hard drives and mobile phones in addition to health care and national defense applications. Because the demand for REEs has grown significantly, the search for economically feasible and environmentally friendly approaches for REE recovery has intensified to include examination of coal as a possible source.
The ACAA, established in 1968, is a nonprofit organization devoted to recycling the materials created when coal is burned to generate electricity. Members comprise the world's foremost experts on coal ash (fly ash and bottom ash) and boiler slag, flue gas desulfurization gypsum and other flue gas materials captured by emissions controls. The NETL director was invited to describe REE research efforts during the ACAA event.
Bochenek noted that the U.S. was once a global leader in REE production and the NETL efforts are geared toward regaining that position. She said China began production of REEs in the 1980s and by 1988 became the world's leading producer. In 2011, global production of REEs was about 132,000 metric tons and 95 percent of that was produced by China.
"The nation's coal resources are more than just a means of domestic energy," she told ACAA members. "Coal and its by-products offer opportunities for our nation to become a world leader in REE production and increase the economic viability of the coal market. Successfully separated, potential REEs from coal and coal by-products exceed U.S."
Last month, a team of researchers from NETL and Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences published a report showing that REEs can be more efficiently removed from some U.S. coal by-product materials through an ion-exchange process that could potentially expand the U.S. domestic resource base.
Bochenek said NETL has also selected 10 projects for funding to research ways to economically separate, extract and concentrate mixed REEs from coal and coal by-products including solids and liquids from coal-related operations. The projects will include sampling and characterization of coal-related materials like coal, coal mine roof and floor materials, and coal ash to identify suitable materials for recovery of REEs. Work will also include feasibility studies and system designs for new REE recovery technologies.
The 10 projects will be conducted by research teams in academia and the private sector from the University of Wyoming, Duke University, West Virginia University, the University of North Dakota, the University of Kentucky, Neumann Systems Group Inc., Battelle Memorial Institute, Physical Sciences Inc., Southern Research Institute, and Tusaar Inc.
She said the NETL efforts have three key objectives: develop production technology that can economically recover REEs from coal and coal by-products; reduce the environmental impact of produced coal wastes and REE production from coal and coal by-products; and deliver technologies that can be developed, manufactured and deployed within the United States.
"The REE work is tied closely to the enduring core competencies of NETL," she explained. "As the only national laboratory devoted to fossil fuel research, we use computational engineering, materials engineering, environmental systems, energy conversion, and system engineering and analysis in our work. Our REE program also draws heavily on geological and materials and geologic environmental competencies."
She said, for example, NETL is undertaking field sampling and resource characterization to determine REE concentrations and forms and uses its own coal-based materials inventory to screen samples from coal field sites, surface outcrops, and core.
"That work is beginning to show that these materials contain REEs at concentrations ranging from 300 parts per million to 700 and 1,000 parts per million—excellent starting material concentrations for separation and recovery of mixed REEs," she said. "Further work is needed to fully understand how to economically separate and extract REEs from these materials."
She predicted success for the aggressive approach.
"We have an abundance of coal, processed ash, and by-product materials and many talented scientists and engineers," she told the ACAA audience. "There is no doubt that we can meet the challenges and secure a viable market in this area. Focusing on the science and the technology, engaging the right partners, leveraging our capabilities, we can and will be successful."

St. Agnes School from Mark Mauer on Vimeo.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to St. Agnes Catholic School. Our mission is dedicated to providing a strong educational program that teaches Christian values, supports the education of the whole child, provides a safe environment, and promotes preparing students for a life of continuous learning and service to the community.
At St. Agnes School, we establish a Christ-centered environment where Christian values are taught, modeled, learned, and lived by all members of the community. We are committed to the development of the whole child – their intellect and spirituality, as well as their social and physical development. We know that this multi-focus approach helps to prepare students for the academic challenges of high school and beyond.
Because learning takes place beyond the classroom, service to our community is an integral component of our program. Experiences of faith and service help our students develop a love for God, and an appreciation for the value of others. We are preparing our students to be responsible citizens and stewards in a diverse and global community. While preparing students for higher education, we create a community where service, accountability, leadership and excellence are promoted.
We also believe families play a key role in the education of their children. We welcome the active participation of families in all of our school experiences. Our various school committees include a dedicated group of parents that contribute a wealth of knowledge and skills in supporting our school goals.
Our vision for the school is Faith Development and Educational Excellence Now and For the Future. I personally invite you to come and visit our school.
Many Blessings,
Nicole Kuehne

Please visit www.mcgill.ca/polling to learn more about Polling @ McGill. Please note that physical clickers are no longer supported for in-class use. Learn more
Polling (or the student response system (SRS)) is a technology-supported questioning strategy that allows instructors to ask questions and collect and display student responses in real time, enabling interaction and feedback even in large class environments. The goals of this project were to enhance student engagement on campuses by:
- Promoting an active mode of learning by embedding inquiry-based practices and peer interaction into the classroom experience.
- Providing real-time feedback and formative assessment to students to increase their engagement and learning.
Internally, this project has also focused on providing the necessary infrastructure, processes and policies to increase and enhance student engagement in the classroom university-wide. In addition, an important objective of the project is also to provide appropriate pedagogical support to faculty relative to their comfort level, to move from traditional instruction with an emphasis on high content and low interaction to more interactive instruction, including peer learning with reduced content but higher interactivity.
For further information about this project, please email tls [at] mcgill.ca (Teaching and Learning Services).

Project Background
In 2006, the Deputy Provost (Student Life & Learning) of McGill University launched a (Re)Design Initiative with the goal of transforming the student learning experience by channeling major university resources to a single project. This initiative funds projects that encourage faculty to explore creative and effective ways of engaging students in the classroom. An important aspect of these projects is that they foster transformative rather than incremental change for teaching and learning by combining university wide resources from all units that provide support. Participants in (Re)Design projects are expected to attend teaching development activities throughout the year to develop effective learning-centered teaching approaches.
In the first (Re)Design project in 2007-2008, priority was given to faculty who teach large-enrollment, required undergraduate courses, with the goal of reaching the largest number of students. Based on the proposal of a group of professors in the Sciences, the first project focused on Enhancing Student Engagement in Large Classes with the support of 'clicker' technology. A student response system (SRS), commonly known as clickers, was used to support in-class inquiry strategies. The technology allows for professors to ask questions and collect and display student responses in real time. Professors receive immediate feedback about each individual student's learning even in large class environments. Participating professors attended pedagogical/technological workshops on integrating interactive questioning strategies into their course design.
In the first year, clickers were loaned to students by the University with approximately 5,000 students, 50 courses and 35 professors, mostly in Science, involved in the project. In the second year, students purchased clickers at the McGill Bookstore; the project grew to include over 7,000 students, 100 professors in 120 courses across all major disciplines.
Students reported very high satisfaction with the impact of clickers on their engagement in the learning experience. A majority of students surveyed agreed that the use of clickers improved their attention, made them feel more involved, improved their understanding in the course, helped them focus on what they should be learning and was overall a worthwhile experience.

February, 8, 2015. Arrived, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The first thing to hit our senses was the sweet smell of incense. It permeated the warm air, and had a mellowing effect on our very tired bodies. Cambodia is rich in beauty - lotus flowers, colorful lights at night, delicious Khmer food - even the sunsets were beautifully different than the ones we are familiar with here.
We were quickly immersed in visits to historical sites combined with stops at a wide variety of development projects with Ratanak International involvement. We experienced two contrasting sides of Cambodia; the darkness and the beauty, the tragedy and the hope, the trauma and the healing. One of these contrasts was the tension between chaos and renewal.
Coming from a country where standards and systems are the foundation and fabric of everyday living, Cambodia is very different. There are no systems or controls. In this void, corruption thrives. We witnessed the most intense expression of this chaos during our visit to Toul Slang Museum, the preserved interrogation prison used by the Khmer Rouge to torture and kill thousands between 1975 - 79. Brian McConaghy, Founder of Ratanak Int'l, was our host. He first came here 25 years ago in 1990 with the C&MA and his anecdotes and information added so much colour to the trip. As we entered he prepared us: "don't try to make sense of this…" It was unimaginable - a brutal reign of violence and evil, carefully cataloged in photos, records and even art commissioned by the Khmer Rouge.
At another point in our trip, we visited an organization called the Chab Dai Coalition - Chab Dai literally means, 'joining hands'. The head of Chab Dai was a dynamic ex-pat named Helen Sworn. Upon arriving in Cambodia 16 years ago, she observed many NGO's doing great work, but with no coordination. She pointed out: to fight a highly sophisticated network of evil, it must be met with an equally or more sophisticated network for good. Chab Dai was founded to unite NGOs fighting human trafficking and collaborate on best practices, and strategy.
9 years ago, their trafficking prevention program was launched. The program is run by national Khmer leaders. One of the simple yet successful parts of the program is a business card they distribute with a "Kids Help Phone" number to call in the event of being trafficked. They receive hundreds of calls annually from all over Asia, and even as far as South Africa. Last year's Buy Art Not Kids Art Auction 2014 fully funded this amazing program. Our hearts were brimming with excitement hearing about this program, actively combatting the chaos and renewing Cambodia.

From the Witches Tarot, Nine of Swords and King of Pentacles.
One of my most disliked cards in the deck, the Nine of Swords is stress, worry and anxiety. It encompasses those sleepless nights when you just can't switch off. Your mind races, turning over on a problem that you've no hope of solving at three o'clock in the morning! Yet, you can't seem to let it go, tune out and go to sleep. If this is a regular occurance, the constant stress can lead to depression and anxiety disorders if let to continue unresolved.
The King of Pentacles could possibly represent the source of your worries. He represents an older man, who is solid, dependable, patient and conservative. He likes the old ways and doesn't hold much value in change. I think of this King as The Old Farmer.
While he does make a great Husband and Father, he can also be frustratingly stubborn. He does things his way and refuses to even entertain suggestion that there could be another way of doing things.
Also, while he is extremely loyal and dependable, cause him embarassment or shame, and he will never forgive you. He is the type that will disown a son or daughter for being gay, or going against the grain in any way.
The King of Pentacles can also represent an aspect of yourself. Combined with the Nine of Swords, our King speaks of grounding yourself. Letting your well-developed sense of practicality and reason override any useless and pointless worrying.
Find a practical way to get out of your head. Start a journal, pour out all that is bugging you onto the page before bedtime.
Talk to a loyal and trusted friend, who could well be the King of Pentacles. If you recognise his qualities in someone you know, this would be the one to turn to.
Also, meditation. I know, it's always my advice, but if you already practise it, then you know how amazing it really is. If not, what are you waiting for? I promise the pointless, nocturnal anxiety, will be a thing of the past.

October: the month of Halloween, copious amounts of candy (toothaches included), crisp, falling leaves and the month where I've pledged to find myself a new job. With the beginning of each month comes a natural feeling for change, or something I like to call, goal setting.
Usually if I make goals, I'll forget about them 5 days later, but this month I'm making a solid effort to follow through with them, and my first goal is to get a new job. The other goals will come later this week once I have a better plan to help me achieve those goals. But, in order to achieve my first goal, the first step is applications, interviews – you know the drill.
This is the outfit I wore to my first interview for Zara. It was a group interview with 3 other candidates who all seemed perfect for the job. Thus, I am not 100% certain on being hired, but I am not losing hope.
A minimalist, high fashion approach was the inspiration behind this look – something I could see a Zara employee wearing if I were to walk into the store. I'm crossing my fingers and really hoping I get the position, but in the mean time, I'll be sending in more resumes!

Happy holidays to the muslim friends out there. My updates would cover some FTAs out there and also, cccam for 16e, startimes and as well as the Android tv box.
It's no more rumor that cccam is now available for startimes, 16e which host mytv, and seasat. The reason i haven't start officially selling it was, i wanted them to add some local channels as promised before i do.
This was nolly africa yoruba showing twenty hours ago before this post was published. Also, it opens about 65 channels on the startimes position, SES5 (12303/27500) Also, the cccam opens 90% of 16e seasat channels including the porn, fox sports etc. All local channels like the Ait, NTAi, Galaxy, silverbird etc, it opens all and without freezing. The cccam is relatively cheap and once sold, it's for six (6) months. The french channels on startimes position as said earlier, all working and they plan to add all local startimes channels as well.
Do you guys still remember this multiple lnb holder?
That setup was from a satellite guru and a close friend on our forum. Explaining the setups;
Eutelsat 16e as primary, where you will get mytv, seasat channels to be used with cccam.
SES5 5e for startimes and opens with cccam as well
Astra 28e and Badr 26e captured with a single lnb for multi tv and MBC
Nigcomsat 42e for some great Nigeria mux, like soundcity, televista, yestv and very interesting entertainment channels we subscribe to paytv to watch.
So with this multiple lnb holder and with your 90cm dish, you would be fully loaded and never waste money and give your money to paytv guys because it's even better than paying paytv. Eutelsat 9e also is there as well. Premium channels loaded and with cccam. UCL and Europa league, worldcup and some european competitions guaranteed. Also with Tiger T8 ultra you can also watch ote sports which has EPL rights as well as FA cup and UCL.
For sports, you can always go for the Andriod box. Good thing, the popular MXQ PRO 4K is now being sold for #15,600 and also when ordering, make sure you look for my store name written sold by "Packdriod Ent". We are now loading paid premium apps on our boxes for free. No annoying ads, no buffering, low data consumption and clean pictures. For the View centers owners out there, you should really consider this box for pre-season and the coming football season. You would make lots of profits with less investment including cheaper data. The box would be loaded with our premium paid IPTV app if ordered directly from us, but if you order online from my jumia shop, you could as well contact me with your order ID as proof, i will load the app for you.
For the Cccam for 16e and also opens startimes, you can reach me on 07066330624, outside Nigeria, +234-7066330624. For Android TV boxes, you can as well call or whatsapp me on 07066330624, outside Nigeria, +234-7066330624.
I would be leaving you with some pictures from my Android box, with all best sports channels for the view center owners for pre-season and EPL, UCL, copa derey Europa, FA cup, laliga, etc..

- Paramètres de stratégie des images en mouvement
- Paramètres de stratégie Images immobiles
The Moving Images section contains settings that enable you to remove or alter compression for dynamic images.
This setting specifies the minimum acceptable image quality for Adaptive Display. The less compression used, the higher the quality of images displayed. Choose from Ultra High, Very High, High, Normal, or Low compression.
By default, this is set to Normal.
By default, Adaptive Display is enabled.
For VDA versions 7.0 through 7.6, this setting applies only when Legacy graphics mode is enabled. For VDA versions 7.6 FP1 and later, this setting applies when Legacy graphics mode is enabled, or when the legacy graphics mode is disabled and a video codec is not used to compress graphics.
When legacy graphics mode is enabled, the session must be restarted before policy changes take effect. Adaptive Display is mutually exclusive with Progressive Display; enabling Adaptive Display disables Progressive Display and vice versa. However, both Progressive Display and Adaptive Display can be disabled at the same time. Progressive Display, as a legacy feature, is not recommended for XenApp or XenDesktop. Setting Progressive threshold Level will disable Adaptive Display.
This setting provides a less detailed but faster initial display of images.
By default, no progressive compression is applied.
The more detailed image, defined by the normal lossy compression setting, appears when it becomes available. Use Very High or Ultra High compression for improved viewing of bandwidth-intensive graphics such as photographs.
This setting represents the maximum bandwidth in kilobits per second for a connection to which progressive compression is applied. This is applied only to client connections under this bandwidth.
By default, the threshold value is 2147483647 kilobits per second.
By default, this is set to 10fps.
For VDA versions 7.0 through 7.6, this setting applies only when Legacy graphics mode is enabled. For VDA versions 7.6 FP1 and later, this setting applies when the Legacy graphics mode is disabled or enabled.

Mohawk Council does about-face on Facebook
The popular social media site Facebook, now more than 750 million strong, has lost the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake as one of its users because of a sudden change in privacy policies.
On September 7, Facebook, without notice, changed its privacy policy and removed any option of one-way user control of posts, bouncing the MCK off the social site.

This week, FBI director James Comey offered new information on the Sony Pictures hack in hopes of easing public doubts about the bureau's claim that North Korea was behind the attack. But many security pros remain wary, saying available intel leaves too fuzzy a picture for attribution.
On Wednesday, Comey spoke at the International Conference on Cyber Security in New York, which was held at Fordham University. His remarks (published in full here) were essentially that, naysayers who "suggested that we [the FBI] have it wrong," are the mistaken party.
"They don't have the facts that I have, don't see what I see, but there are a couple of things that I have urged the intelligence community to declassify…" Comey said in his speech, before offering up the findings.
According to the agency, the attackers who targeted Sony, called the Guardians of Peace (GOP), failed "several times" to use proxy servers that would have disguised their IP addresses (which were "exclusively used by the North Koreans") when sending threatening emails to Sony employees and posting online messages.
"It was a mistake by them that we haven't told you about before that was a very clear indication [of] who was doing this," Comey said. "They would shut if off very quickly once they realized the mistake, but not before we saw them and knew where it was coming from."
He later added that spear phishing emails sent to Sony employees as late as September of 2014 appeared to be the "likely vector for the entry into Sony."
After Comey's remarks went viral, security experts immediately took to social media to weigh in on the details. Errata Security CEO Robert Graham, for instance, called attention to the "fallibility of IP addresses," when using them as proof for attack attribution.
While Comey said the FBI also used a "range of other sources and methods," (which it will continue to protect) to make its case that North Korea was the perpetrator in the Sony attack – many security practitioners believe that evidence isn't yet strong enough to definitively name a culprit.
In an interview with SCMagazine.com, Christopher Budd, Trend Micro's global threat communications manager, emphasized that "good attribution never rests on a single piece of evidence, but on a number of factors that come together to make a complete picture."

Have you ever wondered why the same problems keep cropping up in your relationships? Or why it is that some people get into healthy relationships but it never seems to happen for you? It may be to do with the attachment style you learnt as a child.
Do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset?
Have you ever thought of yourself as lazy, unintelligent, less capable than others? Have you ever wondered why you've underachieved in life, despite having been praised in your early years for being clever and good at certain things? I certainly have.
During my counselling training, I had the opportunity to seek an understanding of why I was so scared to risk progressing in life. From what I had learnt about person-centred counselling theory, children need to know that they are loved and accepted just as they are. However, the reality is that all children are exposed to "conditions of worth" to some degree, and learn that they are only acceptable to significant others if they think, feel or behave in certain ways. The way I made sense of my underachievement was that I only felt acceptable if I achieved. If I failed, I would be judged, therefore it was easier not to try at all. But how did this situation come about?
