Las Vegas built a tourist stop, in which gambling served as one of many contributing features, rather than a resort, in which gambling prevailed.
The frontier theme contributed as a secondary influence.
Consequently, true to its beginnings as a railroad town, Las Vegas remained a division point on the road to more significant destinations.
The shortcomings of Las Vegas as a tourist center stemmed in part from a relatively provincial mentality.
Southern Nevadans were not prepared to exploit fully the opportunities bequeathed to the town by the state of Nevada.
While Las Vegas had acquired connections to the outside world, and especially to Los Angeles, that would ultimately shape it into a cosmopolitan resort, it remained a cultural backwater, not only in the Far West, but even in Nevada.
As railroad station on the Union Pacific line, Las Vegas had come to identify more with Los Angeles than Reno, and as 'gateway' to Boulder Dam, Las Vegas belonged more to the Southwest than to the Great Basin.
These orientations distanced Las Vegans slightly from the state's heritage of exploiting 'vices', prevented them from recognizing fully the potential in the statewide legalization of gambling in 1931, and blinded them to the forthright attitudes of Reno the the north.
Even during those periods when law forbade the activity, from 1864 to 1869 and from 1910 to 1931, games of chance played for profit continued to flourish.
They seemed as much part of the Great Basin state as the desolate landscape and the sparse population.
Chroniclers have often pointed out that gambling resembled the chancy pursuit of precious metals, which had defined the state's economy from its earliest days.
In addition to the psychological similarities between gaming and mining, the cyclical patterns of mining encouraged Nevadans to accept lawful gambling.
Well into twentieth century, the state depended heavily upon the extractive industry not only for its social character, but also for its economic development.
As a result, Nevada did not advance far beyond the modes of production typical of the miners' frontier of the late nineteenth century.
Residents sought new economic opportunities only when mining booms diminished, first in the 1880s and 1890s, and later in the 1920s and 1930s.
Responses to the first depression included the divorce trade and lawful prizefighting, as well as state and federal reclamation programs.

I have one of those gorgeous, but stiff, totally beaded Egyptian body-armor bras. I've re-figured the straps to fit me better, but because of the rigidity, I tend to "ooze" at the bottom when my arms are up.
Any ideas on how to keep myself inside the bra?
Answer: If your breasts "ooze" – that is, if they tend to head south when encased in that costume bra – there may be three reasons:
1. The midriff band might be too loose. Move the hooks and eyes to tighten it. Yes, this is uncomfortable with a "stiff" Egyptian bra that has no elastic. That's why, when I make my own costume bras, they have a bit of elastic at the sides to "give" about an inch. Then at least I can take a breath without leaving a dent in my flesh.
2. The strap connecting the bra cups is located too high. Therefore it doesn't hold the bottom of the cups tightly against your rib cage.
This is a very common design in ready-made costumes. It looks cute – like two scallop shells on a Disney mermaid – but doesn't function well as a dance bra, because the midriff band is not firmly pressed to the rib cage all around.
Does it look like the bra in the photo? If so, you may have to lower the connector strap, or sew on a second strap where I have the arrows, underneath the first. It could even be a transparent vinyl strap; these are sold in fabric stores for use under semi-sheer fabric. Or it could be a matching ribbon decorated with a bit of trim or fringe. You will feel a difference right away – your boobs feel secure, they stay where they belong.
3. You've made the shoulder straps too short. This is an attempt to achieve maximum uplift, but when you raise your arms it pulls the bra cups way too high. There's a limit to just how high you can hike your boobs before they start to "ooze" down to their natural position.
The pull can be minimized if you use a halter (neck) strap rather than wide-set shoulder straps, which will always cause a tug when you raise your arms (and shoulders).
Or, it could be a combination of these three fitting glitches. ~ Dina Lydia

In the past recent decades, IT and computer science have emerged as the most pursued careers. Scholars, intellectuals and analysts attribute world's globalization to these two disciplines of science. With the advent of technology, in every coming moment, world is squeezing more and more. This advent of technology, although helping the world to get more and more globalized, but is offering a great challenge to IT and computer sciences professionals. Careers once seemed highly bright and rewarding are now difficult to maintain and perpetuate. IT and computer specialists have to keep their knowledge and skills up to date. IT persons are vigorously asked to get trained in order to pursue a certification.
Certification is a new dimension of IT and computer specialists careers. One of such certification is Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. What is CCNA certification? It is a certification from CISCO system products for IT professionals. This certification evaluates the talent and abilities of the IT candidate in different grounds of this field e.g., Routing & Switching, Design, Network Security, Service Provider, Storage Networking, Voice, and Wireless.
CCNA certification is the most demanded certification by mangers of renowned IT companies. CCNA certificates are the IT and computer professional certificates, which not only enhance the chances of getting a job; in fact the rate of career growth as well. CCNA certified professionals have high chances of getting hired; they enjoy good salaries and security of job much more than uncertified professionals. Field surveys have proved professionals of CCNA certification salary to be higher than uncertified experienced professionals' salary.
To get CCNA certification, candidates have to pass CCNA certification exams. These exams are not a piece of cake. IT professionals with relevant field work experience and proper preparation for exams can only get through these exams. CCNA official exam certification library provides a CCNA self-study preparation package for all of its consumers. Moreover, other non-official CCNA certification training material also has been found to help not only the experienced but fresh graduates also, in order to get through these exams.
CCNA dumps, CCNA online certification and CCNA certification guide are different forms of preparatory material to facilitate every type of candidate. Practice papers like CCNA practice certification exam 1 and CCNA practice certification exam 2 are comprised of question similar to CCNA certification exams. These practice test papers help candidates to have an idea about what they are going to face in the CCNA certification test.

The more I travel, the more relaxed I am about the logistics of it all. Now, I rarely book airport transfers, or accommodation at my destination unless I am arriving during unsociable hours. This is not usually problematic. So, I was a little taken aback when I arrived at Keflavík Airport in Iceland on a Friday afternoon to be told there was no accommodation available in the whole city. Totally. Booked. Out. Apparently there was a festival on, and Reykjavík had swelled to twice its size. (I am still a little dubious that Tourist Information was correct on this – not even one room?) Anyway, as luck would have it, I had a tent (I planned to go hiking at some stage) and when I asked "Even the campground?", Tourist Information seemed to think I may be in with a chance.
So bus to the campground it was, and as it turns out they had plenty of room. And plenty of rain. Yes, it was still technically summer here, but aside from the relatively long days I did not find much to distinguish an Icelandic summer from a Melbourne winter. There was definitely not going to be any sun-baking!
So, decked out in wet weather gear I set off to explore this city. Now Reykjavík is a capital city, but it is not exactly big. Iceland itself only has just over 300 000 residents, with about two-thirds of these living in the Reykjavík district. The city itself *officially* has around 120 000 people. But despite her small size, Reykjavík holds her own as far as capital cities go. There is a wide variety of cuisine, nightlife, galleries, and museums, and because of the size much of this is conveniently within walking distance. Live music is a big thing, as are cafés, and there are plenty of examples of both. There are pubs and clubs, and books. Yes, books! Everywhere. There were at least five big (read: multilevel) bookshops in the town centre alone, and most of the cafés had books available to read. Not only are books one of the most popular gifts to give in Iceland, it also appears they like to write them as well. And when you do write a book in Iceland you have to donate two copies to the National Library, ensuring the countries literary heritage is well documented. So my first evening in Reykjavík was spent with books and music and coffee and beer.
The next day it was raining and overcast – for something different. So what could be better than to start the day with a swim in a geothermal pool, conveniently located right next to the campground. Win. 😀 There are no chemicals used in these pools as the Icelandic people strongly believe in the healing and restorative properties of this water, so they are rather strict about hygiene. Shoes must be taken off before entering the changing rooms, and you must wash thoroughly without wearing bathers before entering the pool. And they mean thoroughly. Attention should be paid to areas that could be particularly dirty (eg. feet, head, genitals, etc) and there are helpful diagrams illustrating this for all the international visitors. So after a thorough scrub it was lovely to spend some time chilling out in the pool before heading back into town to see what was going on with the festival that had forced me into a tent for the weekend – Pride.
Pride is a Big Deal in Iceland, and it is one of their largest and most popular festivals. Iceland is one of only 11 countries in which same-sex marriage is legally recognised, and their Prime Minister, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, is the first openly lesbian head of state in the world. This is the 14th year that Reykjavík has had Pride, and it was not going to be stopped by a little rain. There was colour, and dancing, and costumes, and of course there was music. Even a Whitney Houston medley. 😛 But the most important thing to note about Pride is there were *families*. Children and brothers and mothers and fathers. Sisters and uncles and aunts. Because Pride is not really so much about celebrating the fact that you are a part of the GLBTQ community, although this is definitely a nice thing to celebrate. 😉 What Pride should really be about is celebrating the fact that you are part of the wider community. Pride is the removal of shame. Pride is a recognition that who you are is OK – by your standards, by your family's standards, by your friends' standards and by society's standards. (<- yes, I know it's not all of society – yet) Pride is belonging.
I had a friend ask once if it was possible to support same sex marriage if you don't believe in marriage, and my answer to this is "Of course!". Because the debate is not really about marriage, it is about equality. It is about two *consenting* adults who love each other wanting to be able to express their commitment to each other in the same way as any other two consenting adults. Neither of my parents have ever married, and I have grown up believing that marriage is not a necessary part of a successful relationship. But just because I don't believe marriage is necessary doesn't mean I think that it is wrong. And I think it should be available as an option for *all* my family and friends. If they want to. To say it is OK to have some of the privileges of being a member of society, but not all of them, is just not on. It is exclusionary and discriminatory.
I still have friends who have not told their parents about their sexual orientation because they are afraid it may change the way their parents feel about them, or that they would be a disappointment, or that their parents would reject them completely. I wish I could turn around and make them a guarantee that this would not be the case – that these people are their *parents* and it is their job to love you unconditionally – you know – no matter what. But the world is not all cotton candy and fairytales, and because I wish it does not make it true. So Pride is important because it both celebrates how far we have come and recognises how far we have to go. I hope one day in the future we will not need Pride anymore because no one will care about the differences. Or even better, they just won't realise there are any. But until that time we need to keep colouring our streets and shouting our stories. And don't forget to bring your families. 😀

Sorry guys – this one has been a long time coming. It is a little long, but on the bright side it is mostly pictures, so not too much reading is involved. 😉
For those of you that don't know, my heritage is half-Danish (which half I wonder?) as that is where my mother was born. So when it ended up being cheaper and simpler to fly into Denmark than to Sweden, it was not a particularly hard decision to make. And after chatting with my grandparents (who are in Australia) they suggested that I get in contact with my grandfather's cousin to see whether she was interested in putting me up for a couple of days. Luckily for me she was. 🙂
It was a bit of a different experience being *met* at an airport, and definitely not what I am used to. There was no trying to interpret signs and bus or train timetables to work out how to get into the city, or talking to tourist information staff. I just walked out of arrivals and there was someone waiting for me. That is something that happens when you come home, not go somewhere new. But maybe, in a sense, this was *my* home too. So we left Copenhagen Airport and headed home. :)As it had been about 40hrs since I left Australia number one on my list was a shower and clean clothes! Next was a walk around the lake, dinner, and a relatively early night – for me.
I had two days in Copenhagen. I had briefly been to the city once before on one of my extended stopovers, so I had walked around the main centre, visited Tivoli, and eaten Danish hotdog. This time I had a car, and a tour guide, so we travelled off to see some of the places that were important to my grandparents when they lived here. First stop was a little town called Osted. This was the town which my grandmother grew up in, and also had the church where my grandparents were married.
Next we visited Lyndby, the town where my grandfather went to school. Here we visited the church and graveyard, where we found some more of my relatives – but these ones were not the sort that I could talk to. (on a side note, I would have been really interested to hear what they had to say if they *could* have talked – or if I knew how to listen to them…)
After that we headed down to check out the house where my grandfather grew up, and had lunch down by the fjord – complete with replica viking ships. 😀
Then it was on to Roskilde to see the Domkirke, the third church of the day. This is the place where all the members of the Danish Royal Family are buried, so as a result it is pretty impressive.
We finished off with a relaxing coffee by the harbour before heading home, with enough time for a stroll by the lake and some chill out time in the garden before a very relaxing outdoor dinner.
The next day it was into Copenhagen proper, but we concentrated on some of the areas I had not been to last time. We started the day with a river cruise and then headed down to the palace area, where we were lucky enough to have timed our arrival for the changing of the guards. There was enough time for a quick picnic lunch in one of Copenhagen's parks before heading back to the airport for my flight to Iceland.
On handing my passport to the lady at the check-in counter, I was bombarded with a stream of rapid Danish. Noting the bewildered look on my face, the woman at the counter said, rather grumpily, "OK – we will speak English – but you have a Danish name!". On informing her that this was because my mother was born in Denmark, but I was born in Australia, she came back with: "Well, tell your mother she should have taught you Danish!". So, mother, consider yourself told. 😛 (for everyone else, my mother came to Australia when she was a child herself, so don't be too hard on her!)
My time in Denmark was rather short, but we managed to fit quite a lot in. It was interesting to see a little bit of my heritage and get a taste of some of the places that hold importance to my family. But the thing that struck me the most in Denmark was seeing *people* who looked like they belonged to my family. A couple of times a day, just walking down the street, or in a café, I would see someone reminded me of my mother, or my aunt, or my uncles, or my sister. This was a little bit strange, as I don't really feel that so much at home.
I need to make sure I come back here someday…….

So unfortunately a piece of the end of my trip has jumped up early, changing the whole dynamics of my time over here. Chloe, my Welsh other-half is terribly home-sick and leaving tomorrow. She's only been here a month, but misses home terribly and will arrive back home just in time for the start of her academic semester. Chloe and I do everything together; maybe it's because we both speak English, or because we arrived together, or simply because we're just those two people who are two peas in a pod and hit it off right away. I reckon this next week is going to be a lazy week without her around, but hopefully – HOPEFULLY I'll get some of that work done and dusted in her absence 😛
It also means that I have to go on the four day Rocky Mountains trip without her… or anyone else I know! I'm sure I'll meet lots of friendly new faces though =]
And now for my favourite picture from the Vancouver Aquarium! Mr C. Otter!

Ahoy hoy,
Road Trip! My first road trip since being here consisted of Boston, Russel Brand, Chowder (or choowwdaa, [Boston accent]), Fenway Park and Harvard University.
The decision to go to Boston was purely made to see my favourite comedian, Russel Brand, in his stand up show. Russel lived up to the hype and pretty much went crazy walking through the crowd, climbing from the stage up into balcony seating. After the show Russel walked through the theatre foyer where the audience had the opportunity to get an autograph and take a photo… I wasn't so lucky; Russel was pretty much mobbed. My best photo is below.
As we arrived late in the afternoon on the first day and headed straight to Russel Brand's show, we didn't get to see the real Boston until the next day. My group decided to go see Harvard in all its glory. This campus was beautiful. The way the campus was depicted in Good Will Hunting was eerily accurate, especially after seeing Harvard Square and the student housing; it didn't look like too much had changed. As I strolled through the halls that Barack Obama once walked I felt slightly out of place, but it was a really nice inspirational experience. A friend mentioned that fees alone cost $50,000 U.S per semester to attend. My thoughts of enrolling were shut down immediately…
The next stop was Fenway Park, where we were taken on a guided tour through one of the oldest venues in Baseball history. Fenway Park is home to the world famous Red Sox. It was cool to see their locker rooms, sit on the bench (I think they call it a dig-in) and pretend to be important in the 'media only' lounge.
That night we went out on the town after we were strongly advised to eat Boston clam chowder. Not being the biggest fan of seafood, I was hesitant to try it, but I was glad I did because it was actually amazing.
It's really hard to describe Boston because it's nothing like any other city I've ever been to. All I can say is I loved it! And if you're in the area, Go, or just watch Good Will Hunting….
After a good nights sleep, it was time take the 6-hour trip back to Oswego where a mountain of assignments await my doing.

It goods had been in that great pricing I do not believe their good is quite exceptional. It's beautiful. That mama does prefer things concerning Christmas time morning anytime she opens up gift and it appearance like I devoted much more, however pricing ended up being only ideal!!
This one supplement ended up being in that awesome cost I never ever idea that excellent is hence excellent. It's pretty. It mom will likely like this on top of Christmas time early morning when she opens up gift therefore styles as though I invested way more, and yet prices is only ideal!!

that has to be one of the coolest things i have ever seen

What a beautiful piece of engineering <3
Okay, jokes about not being able to keep the key up and snagging the key notwithstanding, that's one impressive design. Shame the manufacturer seems to have vanished – perhaps one of the most secure locks made in the US, and they disappear like flatus in a stiff wind.
A bunch of my students in China had these keys back in 2008. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and for them it was just a normal lock. They've seen these before and have been using them for a while! Still have not seen this in Canada yet.
You sir earned my like with the comment savage as fuck haha
Can it be picked with a flexible plastic pick?
Awesome lock.
I'd love to see someone attempt to pick it. There must be a way.
And yet you will have Republican after Republican, still in denial, talk about how divisive it is to go after "our own2R.1;Wish they would understand that the party elites are NOT "our own."
the language on the key is german it won the golden award for excellent work 1991
FOUND IT! The inventor is "Yun-Tung Hsu",
from No. 9, Floor 2, Alley 2, Lane 437, Nei-Hu Rd., Sec. 1, Nei-Hu Dist., Taipei, TW.
Just google for ["Yun-Tung Hsu" patents], and you find them all.
german lock
It's a German lock. Everything is in German.
Theives in the UK now use battery grinders with cutting disks, so no chain or padlock is worth anything anymore.
so many mature rated thoughts aroused by this video xD
thats german language on the key. It say :" For outrageous performance".
So i think its a german product.
Bet says product liability was the main factor way this awesome lock wasn't available in the us

Holy hell Bill! 2.4 million views? right on!
wow , thats very clever
You are the Bob Ross of lick picking. If I'm the first to say that, I'll send you ten dollars US.
probably could of picked it with that zip tie luck u did that one lock it should be flexible enough
Could this be bumped with a key that is flexible too?
The difficulty would be to find the right springiness. It has to be flexible enough to serpentine to the back, but springy enough to transmit motion energy when bumped.
You've got the right idea..
I'd build a bump key that is effectively this key ground down to the lowest possible value, and then using a string, I'd glue it to the blue bit (long string) and then jerk it out super fast..
I guess I'd also have to grind off the bottom bit of the key too, so that we can get a tension wrench in there.
Chances are that this would work pretty fast. I don't see any indication of high security other than the super odd keyway.
thats just awesome!
If someone found a way to pick that, with no special tools, and not opening the lock, give them 3 nobel prizes
Lol he said "some of you might have this problem, it's just doesn't want to stand up" ????????????
That looks like a schlage on the back!
What the heck, that is insane!
I've recently started watching a lot of lock videos, and it seems liek the main flaw with lock security in terms of how easily picked they are, is that most of them are dependant on a linear movement for the key insertion, which this avoids using a very intuitave method.
I was just wondering if there are any locks that use an insertion channel for the key that is based around a dome, to effectively have two axis of curvature, essentially using a key shaped like a sickle but with a blade that also has some form of curvature perpendicular to the direction of insertion.
I remember this lock thing, they were havily advertised in TV etc. in Germany between 1993 and 2004ish, people said it had a weakness to freezing water because it was so intricately designed so it would break open because of that, permanently damaging the lock. not sure if that is true though
Did you ever pull the patent documents to see how its made?
lmao 2:14 foh xD
just make a flexible plastic bump key or rake. the locks design will help you pick it once you get some thing in there. it looks pretty intimidating, and its novel for sure but this shouldnt be so hard. im not a smith by any means, but just the basoc concepts ive learned here tell me that a plastic flexible pick and a tension wrench are all that is needed. well, maybe more than one pick, but you get what i mean.
hyt softkey lock 🙂
Greetings from east frisia
i'm pretty sure it's hypodermic not hyperdermic
i found a couple of patents for this. Flexible key and lock assembly
US 5086632 A and Lock assembly with curved keyway
cool lock I want one
That thing redefines the word 'keychain'.
Brings chainswords to mind.
If you can't pick it, you kick it.
This lock was invented by a Taiwanese man named Yun-Tung Hsu (HYT). The US patent number for this lock is 5671623 if someone wants to take a closer look how it works.
Can you pick it with a flexible plastic template with the cut profile? It might bend around the curves?

Fred, Alastair, Alex, Olly and David completed this year's Windsor Triathlon, each taking part in all swimming, cycling and running sections, covering over 50km on the Olympic distance course.
Together they raised over £1000 to fund operations for children including 17-year-old Julius's and 2-year-old Elijah. Julius looks after his blind mother but he now needs an operation to correct a congenital malformation while Elijah has an inguinal hernia that if left untreated could be fatal.
Thank you to everyone who cheered them on and donated.

Adding Drivers to Sysprep Image
I have a quick sysprep question. When adding drivers to the the WinPE install image using DISM, do I also have to add them to the other sections of sections so they are available for the OS later on such as using a distribution share? If I need to update or remove drivers down do I have to remake the image with a changed and updated.
|My System Specs
|13 Apr 2015
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Usually you don't need to add drivers to the WinPE image except RAID drivers. RAID/AHCI drivers which are added to the WinPE will be automatically integrated to Windows by the setup process. Other drivers like LAN, WLAN etc should be added to the install image but not to WinPE.
As far as i know, there is no reliable method to remove drivers. This is because Windows will rename added drivers as oem1 , oem2 etc. It will be harder to find which driver is which. So i would recommend keeping a backup copy of your customized image before adding drivers. When you need to add updated drivers, work with the backup copy and replace the current image with new one.

Since 2011, the Banjup Residents Group has been pressing the City of Cockburn councillors and administration to provide better value for money for its ratepayers and to acknowledge its mistakes promptly and graciously.
It has been strenuous work against a stubborn bureaucracy and we have made some headway but much remains to be done to change the "we are infallible" attitude of the City's leadership.
The City of Cockburn is not much different from the other 140 local governments in Western Australia. In some ways it is better and in others worse. Comparisons, though, are meaningless. They are all in a cartel of expensively run bureaucracies, none of which would survive if they were open to competition.
Subsidiary pages from here record the efforts that Banjup and Jandakot residents have made to help make Cockburn better.
2016 – Find 2% savings in operating costs
2015 – 3.5% rise across Cockburn really 7.5%
2012 – Make efficiencies before putting up rates
2011 – 35% rise for Banjup
2016 – Strategic Plan has no performance measures
2013 - Corporate Business Plan - Why more staff?

text: I loved this one I came across from Zach Adams earlier this month on ultra goal setting. One of the classic strategies for goal setting is to set "S.M.A.R.T" goals. Chances are anyone who has taken any leadership or business classes has seen this before. I am simply applying it to the world of ultrarunning. SMART is an acronym referring to setting goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. Check how Zach applies the classic strategy to ultra running goal setting here.

Last week we ran a deload, testing out the new template that we'll be utilising over the coming 6 weeks.
I won't bore you with the minutiae, but you can likely expect the following weekly format:
- Mondays – front squats and back squats + a short WOD
- Tuesdays – pressing and pull-ups + a medium WOD
- Wednesdays – a chipper or long EMOM combo
- Thursdays – gymnastics (HSPU & pull-ups or MUs)
- Fridays – deadlifts + IWTs (interval weight training) WOD
- Saturdays – benchmark or fund Team based WOD
We won't be running any dedicated Olympic Lifting sessions (to max out your snatch or clean & jerks) but expect to see them pop up as part of metcons, full & power variations, from all positions, light and heavy
This entire cycle pretty much covers everything that you need to become a more useful human being.
The aim is to get you stronger as well as help you to develop some solid gymnastic skills (better body awareness and capacity)
Consistency is the key, and people who make regular training a priority will get way more out of training then those who only rock up when they feel like it.
Don't hit the snooze button – I know Canberra mornings are cold but I guarantee if you make a commitment to training 4 or more sessions/week for the next 6 weeks – you'll be reaping the rewards come the warmer months 😉
1:1 Skill Sessions with a coach
If you're feeling stuck or you were looking to work on something specific then it's easy to book in for a 1:1 with one of our coaches.
Perhaps you've been thinking about setting some goals or getting on top of your nutrition? Looking to perfect your Olympic Lifting technique or get your first pull-up? Whatever you're looking for, we've got you covered.
1:1 time with a coach can help you bust through training plateaus and help you get everything heading in the right direction
With specialty coaches Josh (powerlifting), Kenny (Gymnastics) and Becca (Olympic Lifts) – I'm your guy for just everything else including nutritional guidance, mindset and lifestyle coaching.
All you have to do is send us a message, and we'll get back to you with some days and times to suit you and your schedule
Stay Fit,

Content Knowledge
The following process was used to identify standards and benchmarks for behavioral studies:
Identification of Significant Reports
Four reports were found useful for the identification of standards in behavioral studies, by which we mean content related to sociology, psychology, and social anthropology. These reports are Benchmarks for Science Literacy (AAAS, 1993), Expectations of Excellence: Curriculum Standards for Social Studies (National Council for the Social Studies, 1994), and Psychology (1996j) and Social Anthropology (1996k) from the International Baccalaureate Organization.
Selection of the Reference Documents
Project 2061's Benchmarks document was selected as the reference document. This report provides content information in the behavioral sciences that is articulated across four grade ranges. The NCSS social studies book, by contrast, is more oriented to the development of curriculum; that is, the content is more generally stated and geared toward the organization rather than the description of specific knowledge and skills.
Identification of Standards and Benchmarks
Benchmarks for Science Literacy shares a number of features with our model for the identification of standards. Statements labeled "Literacy Goals" are pitched at a level of generality that accords with our level for standards, which means that material beneath each "Goal" is articulated across KŁ12. In addition, Benchmarks provides developmentally appropriate content at grade levels KŁ2, 3Ł5, 6Ł8, and 9Ł12, a range that corresponds with our preference for benchmarks at primary, upper elementary, middle, and high school.
Much material in Benchmarks focuses on earth and space, physical, and life science. But the work also contains useful material in other areas, including the behavioral sciences; hence, this section on behavioral studies. Material from the Benchmarks document was altered primarily when the original statements carried more than one basic idea, or when stylistic changes helped the sense of the statement.
Integration of Information from Other Documents
Once the benchmarks and standards were identified from the Benchmarks document, the material was compared with NCSS's Curriculum Standards. Though somewhat more generally stated, the information from the NCSS standards was found to support many of the same ideas. Citations to that document are provided for those who use the Curriculum Standards but would like more specifically stated content. Finally, the International Baccalaureate Organization's curriculum materials on psychology and social anthropology were cited wherever benchmark topics were addressed. This was done to provide readers with another view on what topics are considered important for coverage in a curriculum.

text: The purported overall health positive aspects of wine are most typically, but not fully, attributed to resveratrol. It may possibly be mostly liable for answering the French Paradox and is surely marketed intensely as such. You see, the French get pleasure from a substantial saturated fat diet regime which is connected to coronary heart ailments and some cancers. Nevertheless their coronary heart ailments rate is reasonably reduced. But they also drink red wine liberally. In simple fact they have 1 of the increased per capita consumptions on Earth. But is it that basic? Is there ample resveratrol in wine to lead to this overall health gain? Additionally, is Dr.Oz and other experts appropriate in selling resveratrol nutritional supplements, which are at considerably increased doses, as much as they do?

"If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world." Ludwig Wittgenstein
At Eaton Square School, children benefit from being introduced to French at an early age. They begin in Transition or Reception at age four and children continue to study the language until the Common Entrance in Year Eight.
The aims of teaching French at Eaton Square School are as follows:
- To teach children to recognise and understand French in the spoken and the written form of the language.
- To teach children to communicate in French using the spoken and the written form of the language.
- To give children a thorough linguistic training that will aid them in learning other foreign languages.
- To increase the children's cultural awareness through learning about the history, geography, arts and popular culture of France and other Francophone countries.
- To stimulate the natural intellectual curiosity of children and to encourage them to become independent learners.
- To foster positive attitudes towards foreign cultures: and, to support the multi-cultural atmosphere of the school by encouraging the children to make linguistic links between other languages and French.
From Transition up to Year Two, the children are introduced to French primarily through exposure to the spoken language. This consists of learning vocabulary and language patterns through active individual participation in songs (often using actions), finger rhymes, story telling, drawing, colouring and acting. Lessons use a multi-sensory and stimulating approach that appeals to the different learning styles of individual children.
In Key Stage Two, the children start developing their reading skills and they start learning French grammar and cultural facts. From Year Four, the children begin studying written French more closely and begin to learn spellings and simple grammatical constructions. This continues in Years Five and Six, when the children begin to lay the foundations for Common Entrance, increasing the richness of their vocabulary and focussing on form verbs in a variety of tenses.
In Year Seven and Eight pupils will commence the Common Entrance Syllabus. The four examinable skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are used every week. The children are encouraged to take an interest in Francophone culture at all times and this provides the necessary context and motivation for their studies.
Pupils from Years 3 to 8 are given one set of homework per week. This might consist of simple word and picture activities for the younger children, and grammar drills or the preparation of a presentation for the older children.
Assessment is an ongoing process during lessons, as teachers assess pupils' knowledge, understanding and skills from their oral answers to questions as well as their written work. Formal oral or written assessment exams are set twice a term for Year Three to Year Eight.
The children are given the opportunity to practise the language during various trips to France from Year Four to Year Seven, including a ski trip to La Clusaz, France where pupils practise speaking the language in context and also have daily French lessons. Pupils in Year Six go on a day trip to Paris.
In Year Seven the pupils are encouraged to further French language development with a further immersion in an extended trip away. In the past this has been to a Chateau in SW France and this year we are hoping to move the pupils a little closer to home with an extended stay at another Chateau in Normandy, NE France. All staff there are French and all activities and lessons are conducted in the target language.

Christmas Card Club - Feature A Creature or even a Critter!
I picked this Penny Black Caroling Trio stamp for my Creatures. I have always loved this image and decided to spark it up a smidge and use some brighter colours for this card. I had a snippet of musical note organza ribbon and thought it suited the carolling mice quite nicely.
I chose that brilliant teal card for the mat as I happened to have that snippet in my bits box, already edged punched and all. What luck!
Once I had the image matted and mounted on the background DP design, I added a couple of dollar store lime green felt snowflakes from my stash. These came on a sheet of bright aqua and bright green snowflakes in various sizes. I think they were great value for money and enjoyed using their bright shot of colour.
Card base - 5 1/2 inch square textured card base and envelope from my stash
Card - snippet of teal card for image mat
DP - he black typewritten DP is Authentique Collection Joyous, and the red and white is Best Creations, Merry Christmas
Punch - Martha Stewart
Snowflakes - dollar store assortment from my stash
Bling - aqua pearls from my stash
Ribbon - snippet of musical note organza ribbon from my stash
Stamp - Penny Black Caroling Trio... colored with copics
I am entering this card in the following challenges
1. Christmas Card Club - Feature a Creature
2. Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge - must cover front of card base with patterned paper
3. Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge Extra - Anything goes as long as it is Christmas
4. Pixies Crafty Workshop - Must use snippets

Outdoor recreation is exciting for both men and women as well as children of all ages. Carrying out physical exercises during outdoor recreation offers a great way to get outside and appreciate your natural environment.
Apart from breathing clean air and finding nature's many wonders, the outdoor recreation provides various activities to keep you wishing to revisit outside for more. The advantages of outdoor recreation are limitless and will help in keeping you and your family mentally and physically healthy.
If you have ever realized that you feel much better after participating in an outdoor activity, then you not experiencing this alone. The amount of time spent in outdoor recreation has a wide range of benefits from health, physical to emotional benefits. In this article, I am going to talk about the health benefits that are associated with outdoor recreation activities.
Mental Health Improvement.
For any person to perform his roles effectively, he or she must be in the right state of mind. Mental wellness is therefore very essential when it comes to performance. Participating in outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, biking, swimming or any other physical activities will help you reduces the amount of stress and anxiety that affect the normal functioning of the brain.
Spending time exercising during outdoor recreation will help you gain positive moods and reduce the cortisol levels, a hormone responsible for inducing stress in our bodies. This will enhance your mental health and enhance your body and brain performance.
Weight Loss.
A large number of the world's population is suffering from health conditions related to increase in weight. The large amount of fats we consume daily helps in building fats that pose a great danger if not taken care of.
However, outdoor recreation activities such hiking, mountain climbing, cycling and many other sporting activities help burn the high amounts of calories stored in our bodies and help reduce the risk of contracting chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, certain cancers, cardiovascular diseases and frequent heart attacks that may lead to early death.
Physical Health Improvement.
Individuals who are physically fit are capable of living life to its best. Being physically fit plays an essential role in your body as it helps reduces the chances of contracting chronic diseases.
Outdoor recreation activities help keep you fit by strengthening your body and heart muscles reducing the possibility of contracting diseases such as cardiovascular, heart attacks, and certain types of diabetes. By carrying out regular exercises during outdoor recreation, you will be able to maintain your optimum body weight and reduce the risk of cardiac arrest and other health conditions.
Living a healthy life is everyone dreams. Through outdoor recreation activities, you will be able to achieve a healthy lifestyle in a cheap and enjoyable way.

False Acraea Butterfly
The brilliant orange, red and black patterns of the false acraea butterfly mimic those of other species in order to provide protection from predators, yet, cannot protect them from man. The species ranges from the Republic of Cameroon and Gabon, east across Central Africa through the Congo, and into Western Uganda. However, the habitat of the false acraea has greatly suffered from many years of war and the local butterfly populations may be shrinking.

Wild things Michael Stedman, Peter Hayden, Andrew Waterworth and Craig Meade.

Reality TV is old school: Natural History New Zealand has been doing it for decades, bringing the weird, wild and wonderful into our living rooms. They've learned what viewers like in Germany, Japan and Venezuela, how to build happy relationships with US media monoliths and proved there's more to New Zealand than birds.meets NHNZ's wild things
Violence is in and sex is out. When it comes to wildlife documentaries, Natural History New Zealand programme developer Craig Meade knows what audiences want.
"Predators with big gnashy teeth that commit large-scale violence on other animals really pull the ratings."
Meade is also up on international likes and dislikes. German viewers hate snakes and inspects, Japanese are creeped out by spiders, and Americans aren't keen on birds, fish or horses. "They don't like animals that have eyes on the sides of their heads because on TV you can only see one eye at a time."
As for sex, when a US channel suggested a programme about animals mating, Meade quietly ignored it. Having grown up in the States he is keenly aware of how extraordinarily prudish Americans can be. "This is a culture where you can't show pictures of a toilet or play the sound of a toilet flushing, depending on which executive producer you're dealing with."
That finely tuned sense of what sells and what doesn't has helped turn NHNZ into a world-leading documentary maker, selling into 229 countries and territories worldwide. Turnover is expected to hit $40 million next year and in 2009 the company's 100 staff will make 60 hours of programmes, a tenfold increase on the early days.
The New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation established the Natural History Unit in Dunedin back in 1977 to make documentaries like Wild South, but by the time managing director Michael Stedman took the helm a decade later the unit's future looked as shaky as that of the endangered birds it was filming.
For Stedman it was a case of adapt or die. He thought demand for wildlife programmes would eventually peak (which it did in the late 1990s), so he branched out into telling science, history and travel stories. While other much bigger and better-known wildlife documentary makers like Partridge Films in the UK went belly-up, NHNZ endured, turning out about 50 documentaries a year and winning more than 200 awards for its work.
"We're now a factory that supplies documentaries and we have a reputation internationally for being on time, on budget, and always better than expected.
"I remember a German saying to me 'the only thing you have in New Zealand is birds—and they're all dying.' So we had to prove to the world that we could do more than just birds."
The move into new genres gained pace after NHNZ was bought by Fox TV Studios in 1997, and although wildlife programmes still make up a third of output, a company promotional DVD shows just how much it has diversified.
Along with dramatic shots of a five-tonne charging elephant and an endearing clip of a tarantula skittering across the tarmac on a desert road, there's footage of a 2,000-year-old Chinese mummy, human cannonballs who "eat fear for breakfast and have lunch with danger", and a computer-generated tsunami slamming Honolulu.
NHNZ is onto its third series of I Survived telling survival stories, ranging from the man who amputated his own leg when it got stuck in a crank shaft to a woman jammed in a snow-filled garbage can by her enraged ex-husband. At the other end of the spectrum there's Weird Edens, a six-part US$6 million-plus co-production with Japanese broadcaster NHK about the strange plants and bizarre animals that evolve in island communities.
These days the focus is firmly offshore with only ten percent of footage shot in New Zealand, and this year film crews will work in more than a dozen countries including exotic locations such as Iceland, Kenya, Madagascar and Brazil.
NHNZ has long had offices in Washington, DC and Beijing, and in 2008 it acquired a majority shareholding in Beach House Pictures in Singapore, a strategic move Stedman says was designed to assist NHNZ's expansion into the Asian market.
Considerable effort has gone into forging strong relationships with the state-owned China Intercontinental Communication Centre and China Central Television, and Stedman reckons NHNZ currently creates more programming in China than any other production company.
Carefully cultivated relationships undoubtedly helped facilitate the filming of a one-hour special about the massive earthquake that last year killed 70,000 people in Sichuan province, a huge coup given the stringent restrictions on foreign film crews.
The push into Asia has also seen NHNZ team up with Korean broadcaster MBC to produce a programme about the wildlife in Korea's demilitarised zone, one of the last remnants of the Cold War and one of the world's most heavily-guarded borders.
"Peter Hayden accepts the need to provide what clients want. "Otherwise you won't get the next gig. You might not end up telling the story you wanted to tell in the first place, but whoever is paying for it legitimately has a say in how the story is told"
Stedman is keen to further extend the company's global reach by investing in Australian, South African and South American production houses, so NHNZ becomes a "one-stop shop" for international broadcasters. "Instead of supplying three to five percent of channels' [programming] needs, we'd like to supply 15 percent."
In 2007, NHNZ shifted from Fox TV Studios to come under the umbrella of Fox International Channels, and Stedman says it's a much better fit. "FTS was a drama film-based studio, and documentary was something they didn't fully understand. It was just an oddity, whereas FIC are far more aligned to the sort of stuff we do."
He says Fox gives him "colossal" autonomy and dismisses suggestions that American ownership has led the company to become Disneyfied and too commercial. "We're very much a New Zealand company, we're thought of as a New Zealand company, and we trade as a New Zealand company. We're New Zealand in everything we do internationally and we're not just lost in some big amorphous thing."
As for the commercial emphasis, Stedman sees nothing wrong with that. "It simply means we're making documentaries that appeal to the audiences they're intended for. There's some stuff we wouldn't stray into—sensational documentaries about things like children with two heads, that's not our bag."
That said, about 70 percent of NHNZ income is generated by the US market, and there's no denying the American influence, right down to the use of the term 'vice president' in staff titles.
Peter Hayden, an old hand at NHNZ who is currently series producer of Weird Edens, accepts the need to provide what clients want. "Otherwise you won't get the next gig. You might not end up telling the story you wanted to tell in the first place, but [whoever] is paying for it legitimately has a say in how the story is told.
"As the cable universe gets more and more fragmented and Discovery finds more and more small channels nipping at their heels, they're having to be more competitive and more prescribed about what they want, so the executive producer's role is to have a very strong opinion about everything from editorial and the look of the graphics to the sound and the music. Style as well as substance."
As an example, he describes how former Shortland Street actor Craig Parker received coaching to Americanise his vowels for the voiceover on a Megastructures programme after the client requested an 'Asia/Pacific' accent.
The recession too is influencing programme making. Because cable and satellite channels are less reliant on advertising they haven't been as hard-hit by the economic downturn as the big networks, and viewer numbers in the US are growing as people hunker down in front of the telly rather than pay for entertainment outside the home.
Meade says channels want either low-budget formats that can be churned out for years, or expensive high-end blockbusters like Weird Edens that will hook in viewers on a Sunday evening and hopefully keep them through the rest of the week.
"It's the mid-level shows that are the hardest things to sell right now because they don't have the promise of huge success, nor are they cheap enough to be relatively risk-free," he says. Disaster stories were really big, but now broadcasters want "up and positive shows," and science is hot too.
With channels ever on the lookout for another Steve Irwin there's big demand for shows built around talented presenters, so Meade regularly trawls YouTube for scientists and other experts with the gift of the gab.
The History Channel has shown an interest in his latest find, an American entrepreneur who combs the Himalayas for World War 2 aircraft downed during supply runs to China. He gathers any personal belongings in the wrecks and, using the planes' serial numbers, identifies the servicemen who were on board and tracks down surviving relatives.
"When I pitched it to the History Channel I got about one sentence in and they said 'Just answer one question, can you make 70 hours? If you can't, we don't want to hear any more.' I said 'Yeah, there are 1,000 planes, we can do 70 hours.'"
There's still demand for wildlife programmes, although it isn't easy satisfying the voracious appetite demand for predators with big teeth. "There is a rather limited number of these animals, so companies like us are caught in this tight little circle running from tiger to lion to bear to wolf to shark to tiger to lion which turns into quite a farcical merry go round. But if you can find something amazing about an animal, something new you can say about it, there's room for it."
That search for a new approach spawned NHNZ's highly successful Most Extreme series (about the animal kingdom's highest jumpers, biggest diggers, etcetera). Meade says channels also want new wildlife series shot in high definition because the 40 percent of the US television audience that now owns HD TVs doesn't want to watch programmes of animals in fuzzy old standard definition.
And Meade is exploring the possibility of NHNZ using its CGI technology to create computer games that complement its TV shows. "The channels we work with use a lot of games on their websites, the idea being that between broadcasts it's a way of maintaining the relationship with the audience."
Broadcasters currently buy games made in Eastern Europe, but Meade says they often bear little relationship to the TV shows they are purportedly about, and NHNZ wants to create games that better reflect programme content.
Typically for every 30 hours of footage shot only one hour is actually screene. NHNZ earns about $500,000 a year by selling some of the 40,000 hours of images amassed in its film library to other documentary makers, cellphone companies, tourism operators and educational institutions.
NHNZ programmes are licensed for educational use in the USA, UK, parts of Europe and Africa, Australia and New Zealand, and the company is working on further distribution deals via online stories and server-based delivery direct to schools.
Stedman says those subsidiary income streams all help the bottom line and he is confident the company can ride out the recession, having already been "beaten up" badly when the US dollar hit 82 cents against the Kiwi. "A lot of New Zealand companies went out the back door and if you can survive that, you can survive most anything."
His survival plan involves future-proofing the company in terms of staff. It jointly runs a post-graduate diploma in science and wildlife filmmaking in conjunction with Otago University, so there's a new generation of filmmakers to take over from the old guard, at least a dozen of whom have been with NHNZ since it was founded.
Stedman's commitment to keep the company at the top of its game will also see it shift to the former Dunedin Convention Centre in Melville Street, which will get a $5 million makeover. The new state-of-the-art headquarters will be funded in part by the sale of NHNZ's current premises, the historic Garrison Hall in Dowling Street, an imposing stone edifice that has hosted the likes of Mark Twain, Roald Amundsen and Dame Nelly Melba.
The old building has been the home of television production in Dunedin since 1962 but Stedman is pragmatic about the move. "We've learnt a lot from our own endangered species that have their back to the wall because they can't adapt.
"Everybody that comes here talks about the atmosphere of the place, but when you analyse it through, it's not about the building. It's about the people."
Upping the Wow factor
Photograph by Alan Dove
Computer-generated special effects are now an accepted part of feature films and NHNZ is investing heavily in new technology to up the 'wow' factor in its documentaries.
Over the past two years it has spent about $2 million on equipment such as low-light and high-speed cameras, and in-house animation and graphics systems.
Sophisticated graphics are now an integral part of documentary storytelling and NHNZ has entered into a number of creative partnerships to meet the expectations of an increasingly tech-savvy audience.
Washington-based animator Pixeldust Studios recently established a small studio in NHNZ's Dunedin premises so designers in both countries can collaborate on computer-generated imagery that will bring dinosaur fossils to life for new dinosaur series Jurassic CSI. And last October the company signed an agreement with ETRI, a Korean ICT research and development institute which will provide NHNZ with 3D visual effects technology to test and use.
Weird Edens executive producer Andrew Waterworth says the technology will enhance their ability to televise the lives of extinct creatures such as the moa and Haast's eagle, and the series will have four minutes of computer generated imagery per episode. "CGI takes you into a world you could not otherwise see, and cannot capture on film."
Waterworth is equally enthusiastic about NHNZ's $400,000 Phantom camera which shoots at 1,000 frames per second, so something like a kea rotating its head almost 360 degrees as it shakes water off can be viewed in ultra slow motion.
"The human eye normally sees 24 frames per second. With this, you've got time to see things you haven't seen before, and you have time to relish it."
Waterworth says animals are less inclined to be spooked by an inanimate Iconix mini-camera inserted into their environment on a six-metre pole, so crews can film intimate detail that would otherwise be impossible to obtain—and that's just what broadcasters want.
"In the US, 300 million people watch on average four to five hours of television a day with more than 100 channels to choose from. In New York it is 200 channels. All the networks are looking for something that will punch through and have that wow factor."
In announcing the ETRI deal, NHNZ general manager John Crawford talked of new technology that would "blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy", which raises questions about how far to push digital manipulation of documentary material.
Waterworth admits that's still up for debate, and says another production house copped some flak for recreating missing pictures of the famous Hindenburg airship fire. "Certain parts of the view were not captured on film, so they got a CGI artist to fill in the gap. It raised considerable debate about whether this was a good idea. The programme makers said it was justified because it helped to realise the drama of the event. If you put subtitles onto the picture saying some aspects are CGI, you lose the drama of the moment."
Waterworth says the old journalistic current affairs-style documentaries he grew up with are rare and using the term 'documentary' to describe what NHNZ makes for cable television is something of a misnomer.
"A true documentary documents real life and presents it in as unvarnished a way as possible, so you get a gritty sense of how this family lives. That's very different to what we do.
"We're in the business of entertainment, and that's why in recent years we'd refer to ourselves as factual programme makers rather than documentary makers. We're storytellers and entertainers and in that context CGI plays a perfectly valid central role."
Younger tech-savvy viewers are apparently more likely to be perfectly comfortable with that. Craig Meade performed an experiment where he showed a group of viewers a close up shot of a man being bitten by a rattlesnake. "I asked everybody in the room if it was real. Everybody over 30 thought it was real, and everybody under 30 said it was CGI. It was real and I worked out they had milked the snake until there was no venom left. But the under-thirties weren't fussed about the possibility it had been done digitally."
One thing that won't change regardless of all the new technology is the need to film in some remote and even dangerous places, and Michael Stedman is always mindful of that.
"I made a commitment to the people who work in this company that they would be the best equipped they could possibly be, because we send them into harm's way. I never want to have a phone call in the middle of the night and at the end of it say to myself 'I wish I had …' There are people who die in this business through lack of planning and preparation."
During the filming of Bite Me, virologist Dr Mike Leahy travels off the beaten track to get close and personal with creatures that specialise in biting, stinging and otherwise invading the human body, and the crew includes a paramedic whose assistance has not been required—so far.
But there are occasional reminders of the risk. Several years ago producer Judith Curran was attacked by a leopard on location in Africa and evacuated to hospital by air ambulance for treatment to a leg wound.
And the hazards of filming in out of the way places can be long-lasting. American filmmaker Lawrence Cumbo, well known for his award-winning documentary Search for the Afghan Girl, moved to Dunedin to work for NHNZ last year, but was off work for weeks with a recurring disease contracted from drinking yak's milk tea in Nepal.
