Here are some new works (and one old) of mine that are being exhibited at Edinburgh College of Art in "The Secret Confession". The first is "Untitled (05 Nov 2010)". It consists of a wooden box made of Scottish oak, lined with thick felt, sat on a concrete table top and oak legs. Inside the box are 342, close-to-identical screenprints of coffins draped in Union flags. Each print represents one of the 342 British servicemen and women killed during operations in Afghanistan since the start of the conflict, up until 5th November 2010. Every print has the name of the deceased, with the date of death and a number (eg the first death is marked with 1/342, the last 342/342). The box and table were made by Colin Parker, an artist and furniture maker. The box is also bound in white tape and is stamped on the inside of the lid with "05 NOV 2010".
The second work is a screenprint called "Aztec Silence/Infinite Justice". It shows battle diagrams of the final 4 conflicts on British soil, which are combined with text related to "Operation Enduring Freedom".
Finally is a work I made in 2004 called "Convincing the Wolf of the Error in it's Ways" which is a large felt banner. This work is one of four banners I made for abandoned churches in Fife. Each banner contains specific references to the history of each church and its surrounding area. After I had originally exhibited these banners at Collective Gallery in Edinburgh in 2004, I took them back to the sites of the churches, hung them, and left them there. The only reason I still have this one is because my mum and dad went to the church the day after to rescue it – I don't know what happened to the other 3.
Also, I recommend you go to see the exhibition, there are 15 other artists there, and I particularly like Keith Farquhar's.
§ 2 Responses to New Work at "The Secret Confession" Edinburgh College of Art"
I was fortunate enough to work at ECA when the Secret Confession exhibition was on. I had plenty time to view all the works on display.The Aztec Silence Infinite justice print was to my mind the most important piece on display at that time. It simply appealed to what I am interested in. Even now, 6 years later, I still consider the work, and its meaning. I think the artists explanation of his motivations for the work are lesser than the work itself. Since the purpose of any map is to convey information that is detailed and exact, the work deliberately omits detail, which becomes a curse and an invitation to the viewer. The title intimates as to the missing pieces but as it points towards ancient history and destiny, the work becomes an ever changing conundrum of past and future. It seems to be a window into all other possibilities. A never ending list of 'might have beens'.

Deconstructing Cleveland: The Art of Taking a House Apart
From photo essay by Alejandra Laviada
There are 8,000 vacant houses in Cleveland; the city is demolishing 1,100 by the end of the year. You can push them down and take them to the dump in a day, or you can carefully deconstruct them and recover almost all of the material to be used again. The lumber is drier, straighter, of better quality than anything you can get today.
Jon Mooallem wrote an excellent article, This Old Recyclable House, in the New York Times Magazine, following Brad Guy as he explains the process:
"This is a manufacturing process," Guy told me. "That's the way you should look at this. We are making building materials." In fact, the aim of deconstruction has always been more socioeconomic than environmental: employing local people to harvest a stock of low-cost materials so that lower-income homeowners and rental landlords in the same area can afford to maintain their properties. Denhart talks about houses as being part of a community's collective history and wealth. Deconstruction maintains and redistributes that wealth. "The community is really taking care of itself," he says. "It's protecting its identity." ::New York Times

Troubleshooting Video Cards - Performance or Video Mode Issues
I added more video memory to the video card but system
performance seems unchanged, why didn't it increase?
I want to be able to change the color depth or screen resolution on the fly but the system is always making me restart Windows whenever I change it. Is there an easier way?
My mouse pointer or cursor sometimes disappears, especially when changing screen resolution or color depth

Hunt: Showdown has taught me patience. Start up the game, servers are being reset, go do something else. Come back when the servers are back up only to discover the latest "hotfix" makes the game lag uncontrollably. Guess I'll play later...again.
Just got Hunt: Showdown and man, what an intense experience. Took down a two man hunting team on my own, only to be ambushed by a crazy fire wielding maniac. Also, pretty happy to see my $300 Steam Machine run a Crytek game at 60fps (720p of course)
At the edge of reality lie secrets which no mortal can ever know. However, in rare circumstances they have been known to pass into our world. Learn of the tragedy that befell the man who heard the Unknowable Question in my latest blog post. If you dare.
Here it is, ladies and gents: The most epic moment that has happened to me in Monster Hunter so far. I think this clip perfectly sums up why I love Monster Hunter in 30 seconds. Enjoy.
My #Shoutouttoid has to go to Larx. Definitely one of the coolest and most intellectual members of the Dtoid community. Also one that constantly encourages me to write blogs and I almost never do (I swear there's one on the way Larx!)
What is with the online in MHW? You have to go through menus to see who's in a session with you, and you'll never see anyone around in the hub. You can at the Gathering Hall, but since you can accept/start quests anywhere, no one ever goes there. #ItsJoke
Time for a late night snack! Locally prepared peppers done Italian style, parmesan cheese and spaghetti sauce all on Italian bread and broiled to a golden brown. Sometimes life is about the simple pleasures. #Foodtoid

Britain gets a bum rap. Everyone always talks about the rain. I think the weather has been great each time I've been there and last weekend was no exception. In fact, last weekend was extraordinarily beautiful.
Our drive up to Calais to the ferry was cold and gray and we were looking forward to a "typical" British stay. But as the white cliffs of Dover came into view, so did the sun and we debarked under blue sky. It was even warm.
We had one of those "Louette" sunsets on the way up to Northampton. I mentioned it and Claire told me that they had said the same thing in the Twingo. (The Lebelle family invaded in two cars - Louis' Twingo and our Previa with only about half of Claire's stuff.) We hit the M25 around London at exactly the wrong time and got caught in the evening traffic jam, although it looked worse in the lanes going south. Our 3-hour drive from Dover to Northampton ended up taking about 5 hours.
Geoff and Charlotte met us with a great dinner. Charlotte was excited by all the people in the house - 9 adults all after her attention! The car was emptied into the garage; we were fed and all settled down for the night. Geoff led us to our hotel and we collapsed into bed.
The drive to the hotel looked so easy, who could imagine we'd get lost going back to the house? But getting lost is really the only way to discover a place, so once we ended up back on the M1, we took a different exit and wandered to Duston and through the housing estates until we found the house. Geoff outdid himself again by serving up a full English breakfast. Claire had already gone out for an interview and came home just as everyone was dressed and ready to go. She just managed to eat her own breakfast and left for Stratford.
It was on the way to Stratford, under a cloudless blue sky, that we got to see the countryside - the perfectly trimmed hedges, the sheep in the fields, the very narrow roads, ... In fact, it was so nice, once we got to Stratford, we didn't want to go into the different buildings - we'll do that some other time, when we are less numerous. We just strolled in the streets, saw Shakespeare's birthplace, of course, but did not go in. We saw that there is a teddy bear museum up near the market (good for another visit with Charlotte)! We admired the Harvard house, which turned out to be where John Harvard's mother lived, not necessarily where he was born or lived. Still, it's a beautiful building on the High Street. (I think it's one of the two houses behind the family in this picture.) From there, we decided to visit the Butterfly Farm so that something of the day would be interesting for Charlotte. The town is so well-kept - the houses recently painted, pedestrian zones with clean streets and busy shops. It seems too perfect to be real - Disneylike.
The Butterfly Farm turned out to be interesting to all. Unfortunately, our own pictures did not turn out. There were butterflies all over - we could even sit on benches and watch them as they fed on the fruit that was laid out for them. Charlotte wasn't the only one running after them! We saw the caterpillars, the cocoons and the emerging butterflies. There were a few iguana in the tree tops and some birds. And then there was the room with spiders and scorpions - beautiful and safely behind glass.
After all this fun, we headed back to Duston and another of Geoff's fabulous dinners.
On Saturday, we headed down to Woking to meet the rest of Geoff's family. Again, we had the impression of an invasion. The table was set for 14! Another great meal - a real couscous! (This emphasis on food is starting to sound like Louette's letters to me! But I can't help it - the food was great!) But we had another surprise - Guy Fawkes day is not exactly November 5 any more; they celebrate on the closest weekend. So, in Woking, they had fireworks on Saturday night and the Husaunndee house is just opposite the park. They set up chairs in the front - like a theater - and we had a private show. And what a show they put on!
In Woking, the Lebelle clan all stayed at the Holiday Inn right in the center of town. Some of the kids went off to a pub and caught a live rock band show before going to bed. That made it a little more difficult to get all seven of us up and out for breakfast in the morning, but we did manage to get back to the Husaunndees and say bye before setting off for Dover.
The plan was to visit Canterbury before going to the ferry and we made it. I'm of a generation that read the prologue and a tale from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales when I was in high school. I remember the scene in the movie "The Lion in Winter" where Henry II talks about the murder of Thomas Becket. I remember reading Jean Anouilh's Becket and T. S. Eliot's play Murder in the Cathedral. All of this primed me for visiting the Cathedral. Paul and Emma too, but not the others, who decided to stroll through the town.
The cathedral is much larger than I think I had expected. That the Gothic structure should be on top of the Roman church is not surprising. It's the same in Chartres. But this church is so long! It seems to stretch forever. And it's multi-level, so the proportions are difficult to judge. I'd like to go back for a longer visit and prepare a bit more beforehand or take the audio guide next time. There's really so much to see. And you have to remember that I am absolutely sick of visiting churches, so this must really be impressive for me to want to return!

The Barnstable Recreation Commission had a surprise guest at its monthly meeting Aug. 12.
Barnstable dips a toe in regional discussion
The Barnstable Recreation Commission had a surprise guest at its monthly meeting Aug. 12. Sandwich School Superintendent Richard Canfield came to clarify the status of the closed community swimming pool at Sandwich High School.
Several dedicated swimmers who used the pool had asked Canfield to come as they sought the commission's support for a shared community pool, either at the Sandwich site or in one of the neighboring towns, including Barnstable. After hearing from two swimmers, commission Chairman Kevin Turner asked Canfield if he would speak.
Canfield provided some of the history around the pool's closing. "It closed itself," he said, noting the pool leaked about 80,000 gallons of water. The cost to repair the leak is estimated at $30,000, which Canfield said he is committed to do.
However, since analyzing the problem, Canfield said there may be additional mechanical needs that "could become a problem because of code where expenses become more significant." A $5,000 to $10,000 cost for an engineering study is not in the school budget, he said.
Canfield said that when he knows the full scope of the work, he will share it, but he emphasized that his first responsibility is to the youth of the community. The addition of grades 7 and 8 at the Sandwich High building next year and several planned programs for handicapped children will fill the pool schedule even more, he said.
The pool now comes under the school district's responsibility for costs and maintenance. "I'd love to see us work together to get it up and running," Canfield told the commission.
The next phase would be to get an assistant aquatics director who would oversee after-school and summer programs, he said. However, he did not mention room for adult swimmers, which is why Henry and Patricia Young came to the commission.
They were representing Diane Klaiber of Marstons Mills, who has pushed the idea for a shared community pool but was not able to be at the meeting. Henry Young read her letter asking the commission to establish a committee to deal with the pool issue.
A member of the Sandwich Community Pool for eight years, Patricia Young described its extensive use by swimmers from as far away as Plymouth, its water aerobics classes, and use by the Cape Cod Swim Club and for diving, lifeguard and scuba instruction. All of those individuals have had to find alternative sites or nothing, she said.
Absence of the pool has created a large void to fill, she said, because there are not many public pools on the Cape. She said the situation is especially difficult for older residents who cannot afford the private pools or even the YMCA in West Barnstable, which she said has maximized its use.
"There is a need and it could be jointly addressed," Patricia Young said, saying that recreation departments from all Upper Cape towns could address the pool issue. Barnstable is the first one she has contacted.
Commission members appeared baffled at the request for their involvement in a town and school issue in another town.
"I have trouble because it's school property," commission Chairman Kevin Turner said. He agreed to call the Sandwich Recreation Commission to see what might be explored.
Commission member Richard Sawyer asked, "Why doesn't someone come to Barnstable to seek a pool?" Member Rene King said there is a group in Falmouth looking at a second Y and others who have the same goal.
"Has anyone proposed a state facility?" newest member William Dado asked. Pools funded by the state could be used by everyone, he said.

As the title states, two of my friends were recently taken advantage of. I need to vent and possibly seek advice.
Friend A's father owned numerous rental properties. Father got sick and eventually passed, leaving A to sort through the estate. Her parents were divorced, and she is an only child. A found out tenants at one property had not paid for over three months. By the time she evicted them legally, they were six months behind in rent. Upon leaving the property, the tenants smashed holes in walls, ripped carpets, and stole the washer, dryer, and refrigerator. A will never see a cent in restitution.
Friend B rented out her condo. After two months of nonpayment, she legally evicted her tenants. This resulted in four months total of nonpayment. Upon vacating the property, the tenants stole the washer and dryer.
Both tenants went to high school with Friends A and B and myself.
I am so hurt and so angry for A and B. It seems so crazy that the laws are set up to protect the tenants and not the landlords.
Has anyone been through something similar? Does anyone have advice for moving forward?
I understand background and credit checks are a good idea, however they aren't a guarantee. Friend B did a background check.

Spoilers are all about our drive to expand the scope of human knowledge. Find out a bit about how Terminator Salvation ends, how Iron Man 2 will carry on from the original, how one villain will appear in Transformers 2, and exactly how Anakin manages to have a padawan in Star Wars: Clone Wars. Plus, there are new images from Death Race and Dragonball, and new info about psychic-kids movie Push. We have new footage from Doctor Who, Heroes and Fringe, and details on a new character on Stargate Atlantis, who faces a shocking fate. Spoilers are progress in action! Iron Man 2: Robert Downey Jr. made some incredibly vague comments about the sequel to his hit movie Iron Man. The sequel won't follow the "superhero formula," and instead will explore how the super-armor powers affect Tony Stark's life and the family he gathers around him. And we'll get to see lots of different viewpoints, as we explore the forces that are at work in Tony's world. [IESB] Terminator Salvation: The fourth Terminator movie ends on a cliffhanger. Moon Bloodgood's character, Blair, gets shot in the leg and has a limp. And Kate Connor (Bryce Dallas Howard) is a doctor. Also, the film takes place in 2018 and the Schwarzenegger-esque T-800s aren't supposed to show up until 2029 — so if they show up early, "that's a problem for John," says director McG. [MoviesOnline] Transformers: Return Of The Fallen: Supposedly the villain from the first Transformers movie, Megatron, will pop up in the second film. But this time around, he'll be a tank. And one draft of the script had the good-guy Autobots bringing Megatron back to help deal with a bigger menace. [CHUD] Death Race: Here's the international poster for the prison-race movie Death Race. Not that spoilery, I guess, except that it makes his sidekick Case (Natalie Martinez) seem way more significant in the film than other posters I've seen. Plus there are traffic lights. Or is that some kind of racing "Go" light? [SpoilerTV-Movies]
Star Wars: Clone Wars: Warner Bros. sent as a press release about the Clone Wars movie, which launches the TV series. Anakin is no longer a padawan, but a full-fledged Jedi knight (despite all the evidence to the contrary in Star Wars III) and Yoda assigns Ahsoka to be his padawan. She challenges both Anakin and Obi-Wan, refusing to do things their way. She becomes a mentor to her would-be mentors. She takes on a similar role to Luke in the original trilogy and Anakin in the prequels. Many people believe Ahsoka is too young to go into Jedi training, but the war has stretched resources so thin that Ahsoka wins an early promotion. "We come across Anakin and Obi Wan stranded in this big battle without many supplies, and all they get sent to them is this young girl," says director Dave Filoni. [Warner Bros.] Plus, here are a couple of pages from a new book about Clone Wars, which give away a few hints about Ahsoka. [TheForce.Net]
Push: Speaking of teen girls with attitude, Dakota Fanning plays a punk-rock teenager, Cassie, in Push, the psychic-kids movie. She's a "Watcher," a clairvoyant who sees snippets of the future and then tries to reach that future before people's actions in the present change what she's seen. She's on her own in Hong Kong, hiding from a secret government agency that wants to exploit the superpowered teens' powers. And she's trying to save her mom. [Sci Fi Wire] Dragonball: Here are four new promo images from the live-action Dragonball movie, including new views of Goku and Chi Chi. [HoyCinema and MovieSoon via FirstShowing]
Doctor Who: So you remember the extended version of the trailer for the Doctor Who Christmas special, which we mentioned seeing at Comic-Con? It's on YouTube now, in multiple versions, and this is the least bad version. Note the speaking role for the evil Miss Hartigan, plus the first views of new companion "Rosita" in action.
Heroes: How badly do you want to see the first 15 minutes of the Heroes season premiere? Badly enough to sit through a quarter of an hour of cameraphone vid? Really? Well then, here you go. [Heroes The Series]
Fringe: Fox Broadcasting put a bunch of clips from Fringe, this fall's evil-science-conspiracy show from J.J. Abrams, on YouTube. The first and second clips are similar to ones we've posted before, but the others are new. Plus here's a segment on the making of Fringe from Entertainment Tonight. [Entertainment Tonight clip via SpoilerTV]
Stargate Atlantis: The 17th episode of Stargate Atlantis season five, which airs in early 2009, introduces a new character, a Marine named Lt. Williams. He doesn't even get a first name, and if you were cynical, you might not be placing too much stock in his longevity. Why are you so cynical? I'm not even going to mention that Lt. Williams goes off on his own to explore a supposedly abandoned Wraith vessel that has turned up near Atlantis. Or that part of the wall melts and a gruesome-looking Wraith without his mask lunges out and attacks Williams. I certainly won't bring up that by the time Major Lorne and Col. Sheppard show up on the scene, there's nothing left of Williams except his rifle. Nope. Meanwhile, Dr. Jennifer Keller is being pressured to expand her knowledge of Wraith physiology. She admits to Rodney McKay that she's suffering a lack of self-confidence, and McKay takes her hand as he encourages her. The two have been growing closer. [SpoilerGeeks] Additional research by Lauren Davis.

Alex Funicello is a prominent pulmonologist and devoted husband who tries to do his best under any circumstances. When asked about the reasons that make his successful marriage possible, he mentions several factors that help them maintain a healthy relationship, which is one of the pillars of his life.
Being Selfish Should Be Avoided at All Costs
Being selfish could very well be the most common reason for failed relationships. Focusing on one's own needs is sometimes important, but it cannot be justified in a relationship. When a person puts the emphasis on themselves in a marriage, that connection is almost always doomed. This doesn't mean that one has to concentrate solely on the other party's feelings. That would be a terrible mistake as well. But consistently putting one's emotional needs in front of their partner's, cannot and should not work.
It Has to Be a Priority
The relationship does not always have to be the priority. There are times and life-changing decisions that need to be made, regardless of what happens to the relationship. But no connection can survive if it's never the priority; no matter how strong that bond was initially. A relationship needs to be nurtured, only then can it thrive.
Rage Should Not Have a Place
Everybody feels rage sometimes. The question is, does that person allow that rage to take over, or do they have the mental strength to take a couple of deep breaths, and try to deal with the situation in a different way instead? Alex Funicello always tries to keep his calm, and that is one of the reasons why there are very few heated arguments between him and his wife.

He upside-down and ran in the opposite path and caught one wind, single to clangour onto someone's broad. He kept moving.
I've ever likeable belongings in movement. I remember I admired to keep under surveillance our dog run. There was something so attractive in the region of his gait, the elfin way his ears flopped in coil and the way his shining carroty coat caught the sun. I'm occupied with joy when I expect roughly the happy, stupid way he'd run toward me. It was so existent. And present was my boy, in motion, testing to get this kite off the crushed beside all the happy, silly, true optimism of a 6 time period old. Recognizing that emotion gave me a cognisance that nil was more exalted than this jiffy - than exploit this accurate.Post ads:

I saw Joseph lope somebody to the bounds. He was holding the check cord overflowing in the air as breakers crashed at his feet. It took to the atmospheric condition. I jumped up and downbound ovation merrily. Then the kite barbarous.
Still applause like-minded a maniac, I ran toward Joseph and screamed, "We did it!!" Woohooo! But he looked at me as if to say this wasn't what he unreal. I could see it in his eyes, he required more.
Joseph born the bobbin to the ground, grunted in enragement and walked off.
"I can't bear winged kites!" I heard him say.
"You can't stroll distant."
"That's giving up and we don't donate up."
"It won't fly."
"It will."
"It won't fly!"
As if to turn up him wrong, my daughter grabbed the bank check and ran beside it. The kite sailed into the air as she ran in circles on the dirt. A wee facial gesture ready-made it's way to Joseph's obverse. Then he stomped off the shoreline and headed toward the bay to lock in minnows and hermit lousiness.
The bank check must not have been far from his philosophy because Joseph made his way posterior to the beach following in the day. When I found him there, he was retaining something up, his grin full from ear-to-ear near conceit. I looked up from his hand, squinted into the sky and near was the kite, wriggling joyfully in the meander as if it were proud to be up in attendance too.
"It's flying!" He partially shout out - half giggled beside joyfulness. "It's flying!"
The check floated for active an unit of time. Joseph walked next to that cheque as it if it were a somebody - a colleague he'd waited for, for a unbelievably daylong occurrence. Every now and again I'd survey him and coil pay for jovial bodily function. I was so glorious for him. He had his need.
Then, honourable similar that! He let the bank check go. The crisscross took it away. We watched wordlessly as the kite shrunken in the coldness and was after a while gone, but the mo lingered. And that point in time was now a representation.
We took the ferryboat fund at sunset, our spine all mealy and fouled next to brackish river. We waved sayonara to our friends. We watched the sun sink and devolution from chromatic to orangish to red. My brain wandered to judgment of Rome and John. I hugged my kids, one on respectively side, and I couldn't have textile luckier to be animate - to have these down-to-earth moments and to timekeeper this good-looking day end. The ferry's motor melodically rumbled. I reached into my sand bag and picked up my most recent summertime read - The Kite Runner - and I knew this day was expected to be.

Patronato Pro Niños Presents Two Types of Walking Tours, Architectural and Historical
By Betse Davies
On Thursday, May 19, Doug Lord will lead the monthly Architectural Tour while an assortment of English-speaking guides, experts on the town's history, will walk you through the unique history of this town every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of May. It's sort of like Boston, where many events led up to the battle with Britain for freedom. Here, too, the start of the 11-year war of independence—Mexicans versus their Spanish masters—occurred. The difference between the two cities is that in San Miguel de Allende all the buildings figuring in the action are still standing more than 200 years later. More than just history figures in this tour. You will visit Bellas Artes and see Siqueiros' unfinished mural of the life of Ignacio Allende as well as experience the Parroquia, the parish church. Its neo-Gothic façade is the hallmark of San Miguel. The donation for this historical tour on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays is 200 pesos.
Architectural and Historic Walking Tours
Thu, May 19, 9:45am
Meet in the Jardín across the street from the Parroquia
250 peso donation for Architecture tour, 200 pesos for Historical tour
Those 1810 buildings and other colonial edifices in El Centro are the subject of the Architectural Walking Tour. Doug will point out the different styles of architecture developed mostly from imported European architectural schools where reigning rulers reflected their own ideas of design. Luckily, these magnificent structures were not destroyed in the rush to modernity in the 20th century and are now protected by strict laws in the downtown area. There are several Mexican Modern structures to be seen as well on the fringes of downtown. There's no question about it; you will develop a deeper appreciation of the uniqueness of San Miguel after taking this tour. The donation for this monthly tour is 250 pesos.
Both tours assemble in the Jardín across the street from the Parroquia at 9:45am and leave promptly at 10am. Your entire donation goes directly to Patronato Pro Niños, the nonprofit organization that gives medical, dental, and psychological care to the children of San Miguel and the large rural area surrounding the city. Three dental vans serve those rural communities, going from one area to another. A dentist gives each child a dental exam; those children who have special dental problems are directed to the dental office in San Miguel's Patronato Health Center. All children receive a toothbrush and are told how to use it. In too many cases, it is the first toothbrush they have ever used. If they have no money for transportation to the Health Center, it is provided. So you see, you have a chance to enhance your visit to San Miguel with a tour, and you have the satisfaction of knowing you are donating money to a most worthy cause.
You may prefer a private tour and, in this case, call or email Lily at the Patronato Health Center. Her phone is 152 7796 during office hours and email is email@example.com. Allow at least several days to arrange your tour. The donation for the private Historical Tour is 250 pesos for each person, with a minimum of 1,000 pesos for one to four persons. The Architectural Tour donation is 300 pesos for each person with a minimum of 1,200 pesos for one to four persons.

Jack Up Units - A Technical Primer
In 2005, Bennett Offshore and Offshore Technology, Inc. (Keppel FELS) co-authored a document titled "JACK UP UNITS - A Technical Primer For The Offshore Industry Professional." It is available for free upon request via a form on this website.
The intention of the jack-up publication was to provide Offshore Industry personnel and others with a brief introduction to jack-up platforms and their design considerations. This document has since become known simply as "The Jack-up Primer" and is widely used in the industry as "required introductory reading" for personnel new to the Offshore industry. Of all the technical papers and publications authored by Bennett engineers, the Jack-up Primer is by far the most requested document.
Below, you will find selected text from Section 1 of the publication. If you wish to have your own copy of the Jack-up Primer or any of our other technical papers, please request a copy and we will send you as many documents as you need.
A Sample of Chapter 1 of the Jack-up Primer
A Jack Up is an offshore structure composed of a hull, legs and a lifting system that allows it to be towed to a site, lower its legs into the seabed and elevate its hull to provide a stable work deck capable of withstanding the environmental loads. A typical modern drilling Jack Up is capable of working in harsh environments (Wave Heights up to 80 ft, Wind Speeds in excess of 100 knots) in water depths up to 500 feet. Because Jack Ups are supported by the seabed, they are preloaded when they first arrive at a site to simulate the maximum expected leg loads and ensure that, after they are Jacked to full airgap and experience operating and environmental loads, the supporting soil will provide a reliable foundation.
Jack-up units are complex structures used Offshore in many modes of operation. When using a particular unit at a given site, it is important to be aware and understand the basics behind the different designs under different conditions. The focus of this primer is a simplified discussion of the various sensitivities of jack-ups while in the different modes of operation. It is hoped that by increasing the understanding of how jack-ups work and behave, as well as the sources of the loads acting on them, those making decisions with limited information will be better equipped to respond to incidents and reduce their occurrence and/or consequences. Though there are many variations in design and purposes for jack-ups, this primer focuses many of these discussions on three-legged units used for drilling.
The primer starts by presenting some background and discussions of the basics of jack-up components analyses. This is followed by sections on jack-up components and configurations, modes of operation, differences between Class approval and site specific assessment, basic analysis, and a discussion of competing aspects of jack-up design.
Jack-up units have been a part of the Offshore oil industry exploration fleet since the 1950s. They have been used for exploration drilling, tender assisted drilling, production, accommodation, and work/maintenance platforms. As with every innovative technology, jack-up units have been used to their operational and design limitations. These limitations include deck load carrying limits when afloat, load carrying capabilities when elevated, environmental limits, drilling limits, and soil (foundation) limits. The reasons for pushing these limits include the desire to explore deeper waters, deeper reservoirs in harsher environments, and in areas where soils and foundations may be challenging or even unstable.
Into this arena of expanding jack-up units' capabilities, industry groups, classification societies, and flag states have involved themselves in an attempt to regulate, codify, and unify the criteria used to gauge a jack-up unit's capabilities. Without a thorough knowledge of the background of these regulatory efforts and the science that these efforts rely upon, the average Offshore industry professional is given practically no useful tools when it comes time to assess, understand, and select a jack-up unit to fulfill a particular task or mission statement. Often times, a thorough understanding of Jack-up unit capabilities and "sensitivities" prevents or minimizes the consequences of unexpected "incidents." This primer is an attempt to assist such individuals in understanding the regulations, science and engineering principles behind a jack-up unit's design and to assist that individual in answering the following questions:
- What are the components of a jack-up unit and what are their functions?
- What are the relative pros and cons of different types of jack-ups and their features?
- How does the arrangement of a jack-up affect its function and capability?
- What are the loads on a jack-up, what impact do they have, and how are they evaluated?
- What do I need to look for - what makes a jack-up "sensitive" to loadings?
- Who are the parties involved in the jack-up from design through operation, and what are their roles?
- How do I select a suitable jack-up unit for my particular application?
This primer does not address commercial issues of jack-up rigs. Topics such as construction costs, day rates, third-party equipment, supply and crew boat costs, etc., are not covered in this primer.

Atheists, Christianity, Bush, Religion, And Why God Is Not Dead
Atheists, come out of the closet. You won't be struck by lightning. I promise. I've been an "out of the closet atheist" for years now, and God (and her followers) have yet to cause me to perish. The New York Times has finally picked up on the trend and published the following this week, which I believe was the Times's take on a front-page article in the National Journal earlier this year:
Polls show that the ranks of atheists are growing. The American Religious Identification Survey, a major study released last month, found that those who claimed "no religion" were the only demographic group that grew in all 50 states in the last 18 years.
Nationally, the "nones" in the population nearly doubled, to 15 percent in 2008 from 8 percent in 1990. In South Carolina, they more than tripled, to 10 percent from 3 percent. Not all the "nones" are necessarily committed atheists or agnostics, but they make up a pool of potential supporters.
While I hope atheism continues to expand, something tells me I've seen this movie before. I still remember the 1966 Time magazine cover that asked, "Is God Dead?":
Princeton Theologian Paul Ramsey observes that "ours is the first attempt in recorded history to build a culture upon the premise that God is dead." In the traditional citadels of Christendom, grey Gothic cathedrals stand empty, mute witnesses to a rejected faith. From the scrofulous hobos of Samuel Beckett to Antonioni's tired-blooded aristocrats, the anti-heroes of modern art endlessly suggest that waiting for God is futile, since life is without meaning.
During W's presidency, I often scratched my head and asked, after the liberating '60s and '70s, how did we ever go "back to the future" and end up in the political clutches of the religious Right? The fact is, '60s and '70s atheism was a bit too uninformed about the psychological and social benefits of churchgoing. Religion answers the unanswerable. It creates powerful and important social networks among churchgoers. Unless and until atheists, agnostics, and other nonbelievers can somehow replace those benefits, or form their own version of same, religion will continue to be a powerful cultural force.

The world of online business has seen a lot of change over the last few years, With the emergence of HTML5, it's possible to do more than ever with the Internet. Alongside that, new ways to trick and scam people have come about. This has lead to improved security and third-party services being available. These sorts of changes cause a scramble in the world of online business. And, companies need to be ready to step up to the mark and get to work on their changes. Getting left behind with trends like this can hurt a business badly. To help you out, this post will be going through some of the changes that you can expect to be seeing over the next year.
Storage and servers
When you run an online business, the center-point of your trade will be on your website. And, your website is hosted on servers. This means that your website is limited to what your servers can handle. If you have a limit of a hundred gigabytes of data; you wouldn't be able to store two hundred gigabytes of customer data on your system. Thankfully, storage is improving greatly. With SSDs in large capacities becoming more affordable, more and more hosts are increasing their data limits. This can mean that it's well-worth shopping around for a new host; if yours doesn't provide enough space.
Along with space, SSDs are also improving server speeds. This makes it faster when a user loads one of your pages. Ultimately, making your website appear to be more professional. Customers will notice these changes. And, they will notice if a website is running slow. In the modern age, there's no excuse for a slow website. Nowadays, even very cheap providers are moving over to SSDs. So, you can find packages that will meet most budgets. Just make sure that you get enough space, too.
E-commerce is changing in a lot of ways. And, one of the biggest changes is the type of product that people are buying. Of course, nowadays, people are spending more money online than ever. This means that there's no shortage of customers. But, you have to be providing them with what they want. And, people want to be able to customise their goods. Being able to have custom images or text on products can make them much more desirable to today's market. And, it's not too hard to achieve this.
Of course, this is just one trend that is changing. With some digging, you can find at least 9 e-commerce trends that will be prevalent in 2017. And, you'll need to adapt to them if you want to be successful. This is especially true for new businesses, which aren't established yet. In this position, you have to be giving customers what they want. Otherwise, they will go somewhere else. There are loads of options available to people online; so, it's important to be one of the best
Postage And Packaging
Over the years, loads of companies have made drastic improvements to their postage and packaging. For example, Amazon now has services that can provide same-day delivery in certain places. Over time, we will be seeing this become more and more common, too. This is all possible thanks to automation. Unmanned warehouses are usually much more efficient than traditional ones. So, it makes sense that companies are using them to make their services faster. Of course, it will be hard to offer such a premium service so quickly. But, there are improvements that you could stand to make. Most people use the cheapest shipping companies available. But, this doesn't always ensure that you're going with a good and trustworthy company. You need to research the company that you decide to go with. And, make sure that they have a good track record.
Along with this, you can also look at improving the way that you handle products to prepare them for shipping. There are loads of systems that allow you to print labels from home, which will be prepaid and ready to send. With this, all you have to do is go down to the post office. These services will often cost less than using normal shipping, too. You'll just have to get your hands on a cheap label printer. But, these are usually next to nothing.
Hopefully, this will give you the information you need to take 2017 in your stride. Running a successful business in an environment that changes so much is hard. You need to keep up. And, you need to make sure that you're still giving customers what they want. Doing this takes research and dedication; there are no shortcuts here.

Market Mapping (Talent)
Budget $10-30 USD
I require someone to do a market mapping exercise to identify individuals in the market, where they work, job titles etc.
I will provide the brief and parameters, however, by the end of the exercise I would like to have a list of professionals that I can look at for a particular role.
This would suit someone with recruitment/headhunting experience and DEFINITELY with LinkedIn access.

Click here to view the video I took of Ken Burns' speech at the Soldiers National Cemetery on November 19th, 2008.
I was helping out the Civil War Institute, so I was "behind the scenes," thus this video is at a somewhat unique angle.
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
- T.S. Eliot
Welcome to Ten Roads! This blog is intended to be a place for me to share my (generally Civil War-related) thoughts and experiences. I try to update once a week at the very least. All comments and readers are greatly appreciated!

Thanks to The Motherhood and Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. who sent me a box of products and compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are all my own, and I hope you enjoy them.
Have you ever made a decision to do something as a parent for the sake of peace of mind? Of course you have; we all have! For me, examples that come to mind include taking my children to the doctor when I wasn't 100% sure that they needed to be seen, but I wanted peace of mind just in case (in a few instances there was nothing to worry about, but in other instances we discovered Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease, strep throat ad even the need for stitches).
I've also made the call on MANY different occasions to not use certain products (especially household cleaning products) due to my concern about their safety. My research would often yield conflicting reports about whether or not there was anything to worry about, but for the sake of peace of mind, it just made more sense to keep them out of my home.
The Promise of Peace of Mind
JOHNSON'S® Baby products have been discussed quite a bit online over the last few years, as many parents had some concerns about the safety of some of the ingredients. And while the company asserts that their products have always been safe, they have also committed to listening to parents and caregivers, and seek a way to provide that peace of mind that is so important to us all. As a result, they have removed formaldehyde-releasing preservative and reduced traces of 1,4 dioxane from all of their baby products. Most of the new and improved baby products also have the parabens removed (scheduled to happen in 2015…great to see them ahead of schedule on this!). More information on their policies and timeline for product improvements and roll out can be seen at safetyandcarecommitment.com. I'm so impressed to see JOHNSON'S® Baby making and fulfilling these promises to provide peace of mind that every parent wants and needs. And I might have cried watching this video. Bet you can't make it through without getting a little teary-eyed!
I love seeing a company who values cutting edge science AND the views and concerns of the people who use their products. Claiming the promises of their customers as their own is a true hallmark of being a family, and not just a business.
If you'd like to check out the reformulated products, here's a list of what you'll find that it new and improved on the shelves:
- JOHNSON'S® Baby HEAD-TO-TOE® Wash
- JOHNSON'S® Baby Lotion
- JOHNSON'S® Baby Shampoo
- JOHNSON'S® Baby Shampoo & Conditioner for Thick and Curly Hair
- JOHNSON'S® Baby Shampoo & Conditioner for Thin and Straight Hair
- JOHNSON'S® Baby Shampoo with Calming Lavender

Background and purpose: Trauma scoring systems help physicians and nurses in recognizing the severity of trauma and its management. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the predictive ability of mortality rates of two trauma scoring systems (MGAP and GAP) in multiple trauma patients.
Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used the data available in electronic records for trauma patients admitted to Rasht Poorsina Hospital, Iran. Demographic data, and GAP and MGAP (Mechanism, Glasgow Coma Scale, Age, and Pressure) scores for 1541 patients were extracted. Then, the ability of both scores in short-term (24 hours) and long-term (4-week) mortality prediction rates was analyzed using SPSS V21.
Results: The surface areas under the curve ratio of ROC for predicting short-term mortality rates were 0.947 and 0.938, and for long-term mortality rates were 0.928 and 0.914 for GAP and MGAP, respectively (P<0.001). Also, Kappa coefficient for agreement of both scoring systems was 0.754 and 0.462, respectively. The best cut-off values for GAP and MGAP in predicting short-term mortality rates were 16 and 21 with sensitivity rates of 97.6% and 96.6%, specificity rates of 81.1% and 83%, and accuracy rates of 97.1% and 96.2%, respectively, while in the long- term mortality rates these values were 19 and 22 with sensitivity rates of 92.4% and 92.6%, specificity rates of 80%, and accuracy rates of 91.95% and 92.1%, respectively.
Conclusion: Both GAP and MGAP could appropriately predict mortality rate without any significant difference. Therefore, these scores could be used as triage tools, and in predicting the severity of injuries and mortality.

|Doesn't my city look wonderful at night . . .
Hello Ladies! It has been a long time since I have written a real post here on my blog. I want to apologize for pretty much disappearing from my blog and twitter. The reason why I have been MIA is because I have not been feeling like myself, and I felt like I had no motivation. Many times I have tried to come up with something to write but my mind would just come up to a blank. Perhaps I was just feeling stressed with family and school that my mind had not been in a good mind set to write about the things that I love. I still feel like my I'm not completely here, but I figured if I began writing again then I will be back to my normal state of mind. Starting next week I will begin to put more makeup, beauty, and fashion post, hopefully that will help me get back to where I used to be. Until then let me just let you guys now what I have been doing for the past month . . .
My Current Faves and Life Updates:
- "Doctor Who": I am currently obsessed with "Doctor Who"! It is safe to say that I am now a Whovian. David Tennant is by far my favorite doctor *sigh*
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn: Yeah I know this sound odd but it actually really good!!!
- Revlon Lip Butter Lipstick in "Strawberry Shortcake": This is currently my favorite lipstick. I just love the pink color on my lips, I seem to wear it every time I go out. I can't get enough.
|Strawberry Shortcake
- I am not allergic to "Makeup Forever HD Foundation": I'm always on the search for a good foundation that will cover all my acne scars, because I heard great things about this foundation I decided to give it a try. But because i have sensitive skin I need a sample to see if I would break out. I used twice and broke out both times, I was dissapointed but then my mom said maybe it was stress and should wait till I'm more calm. Well I tried it a third time and it turns out I did not break out, which means it really was my stress making me break out. It is safe to say I will be buying a full size bottle with the birthday money my brother gave me.
- My 22nd Birthday: One March 3rd I turned 22, and it was a great birthday surrounded with the people I love. On the day before my birthday my best friends blindfolded me and took me to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Hollywood,California- where I mingled with very important and famous celebrities. After the museum they took me back to my best friends house where they had the most beautiful peacock theme dinner party. The table setup and decorations where just amazing!! There were feathers hanging from the ceiling that looked like they were floating in the air, candles on the tables, and a beautiful peacock feather centerpiece. My best friend made the most delicious chicken breast stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach with marinara sauce on top of it, and mashed potatoes. My other best friend made a bunch of small cakes decorated it fondant in blue, green, and purple with a peacock feather made out of fondant on top of them, and a peacock cupcake just for me that was too pretty to eat- but I could not resist! They also gave me great presents! I can't wait till my new room is up to put everything they gave me on display. On the day of my actual birthday, I had a Italian meal (Lasagna, Salad, Garlic Bread) with my family and one of my best friends. We had this delicious Raspberry Mousse Chocolate Cake that was to die for! My parents gave me a new Laura Signature Tote Bag from Coach that I can use for school, my sister gave me a Betsey Johnson necklace, my brother gave me $50 gift card and a Betsey Johnson jewelry set, and my grandmother gave me hair accessories. It was also my brothers birthday ( he turned 33) so I gave a team jersey from his favorite baseball team. It was a great birthday.

- I have been doing for reading than usual: I love reading, reading is my escape from reality and calms me down. So it is no surprise I have been reading more than usual to keep me sane. I am currently reading "Embrace" by Jessica Shirvington.
- My current favorite color combination is Coral and Mint: Two of my favorite colors combine give me a pretty spring/summer look.
- The Hunger Games Movie: Me and my friends went to the midnight screening of the movie and we all loved it!!
Since I will be getting back to blogging I would like to ask what would you like to see here? All suggestions are welcomed. Again everybody thank you for your patience and I hope that you wont be dissapointed with new upcoming posts.


text: 01 Mar 2016 Place at the heart of everything we do Narelle Hutchins, Head of Place Strategy and Design AMP Capital Shopping Centres, discusses the importance of authenticity and creating genuine connections with consumers and their lifestyles. Place at the heart of everything we do Narelle Hutchins, Head of Place Strategy and Design AMP Capital Shopping Centres, discusses the importance of authenticity and creating genuine connections with consumers and their lifestyles. Applying the processes and philosophies of placemaking to shopping centres is by no means a new concept. But with the pressure on super regionals to become so much more than a place to shop, creating authentic localised destinations that establish emotional connection with their audience becomes more a competitive necessity and less a choice. Understanding what is real to your audience is only the first step of course, the real value of a placemaking approach is only delivered through clever execution. Shoppers can only tell you so much about what they want in a shopping experience, so interpretation and creative and innovative user-centred thinking are key to success. As the old adage goes, no one ever asked Steve Jobs to build an iPad. The choice of where to spend our ever-diminishing 'free' time can be considered as the result of the interplay between logical, emotional and egotistical drivers. We like to think we make a rational decision on where to shop based on location, shopping needs, and practical factors like ease of parking. However logic is regularly overridden by emotional factors; many parents will drive further to shop where there are superior facilities for families, and egotistical influences, like what their choice says about their social standing or tribal affiliations. Egotistical drivers, in this age of the curated online persona, can be the most powerful in terms of their ability to influence choice of a shopping and leisure destination and creating a connection with customers. When exploring the emotional connections people have to a place such as Pacific Fair, it's a complex, layered process. Locals express a mixed array of emotions about wanting newer, shinier and cooler, but at the same time reminiscing about "remember when" with a strong nostalgic connection to a place once graced with everything from a blue concrete whale to tepees! Visitors—national and international alike—associate Pacific Fair with a much-loved summer holiday; lazy mornings on the beach followed by retail therapy and respite from too much sun in the afternoons—and living up to the memory on the next visit can be quite a challenge. When the Gold Coast opens something, it does so in spectacular style, that is unrivalled in many cities across the country. Pacific Fair opened its second stage of the south-west mall today and it was nothing short of breathtaking. Forget your everyday shopping trip - going out to Pacific Fair is about to revolutionise the way that we see shopping in the Gold Coast for a very long time To understand what attracts people to the centre, placemaking advocates taking a broader view and exploring what underlies the attraction of the Gold Coast as a place to visit and live. Once you understand those drivers – which are more sophisticated than kilometres of beaches and sunny skies—you can create a layered experience with multi-audience appeal. Hence, the Pacific Fair future experience will be one that references not only the beaches and the ocean, and the lushness of the hinterland but also a growing urban edge that reflects a city that has come of age in recent years. The Gold Coast has always been that place where something that could be a little wrong—a little too bright and a little too loud—elsewhere, seems to fit right in. After all, we don't head to the Goldie for the same experience that we could have at home. For our team, this presents a unique opportunity to push the boundaries and have some fun discovering our own wow factor for Pacific Fair. To create experiences that leave an emotional imprint on our customers we know we need to deliver an authentic multi-dimensional experience that is not just about the shopping offer —it's the architecture, the people, the activities—that combine to create a sense of place that is quintessentially Queensland and more distinctly Gold Coast. All of our design decisions are carefully considered opportunities to express the unique story of a centre and place. At Pacific Fair we draw on the essence of a coastal cool palette, combined with the lushness of the hinterland, and playful pops of colour that express the unique nature of the Gold Coast. One of the challenges with larger centres is how to make them welcoming to a broad range of customers and simultaneously highly relevant and tailored to the needs of all potential users. Strong individual precinct characters are key; that provide visual cues to signify that these spaces are welcoming and tailored to people like me, a place where I belong. This is not just about creating a space that is aesthetically appealing in mix and design, but about careful planning that provides for natural, organic and sustainable uses of places by people in daily life. Having a place full of people attracts more people, so we design our spaces to facilitate social interactions. The recently opened South West Mall and Fresh Food Market demonstrates this approach and is just a taste of the unique experience to come when Pacific Fair is completed in mid-2016. Fresh food markets are no longer about functional fulfilment for an essential food top up, they are places to catch up with a friend for coffee or have a quick bite to refresh and recharge. We have redefined the fresh food market—in Gold Coast style—to create a sensory food experience. It's cool and refreshing, a place to escape from the heat, where a large skylight brings the sunshine in through a double storey void. Customers can look up through 2,000 glass spheres glistening like raindrops to evoke the feeling of the lush hinterland. Three curved screens on a one-of-a-kind digital chandelier feature creative content developed in partnership with Griffith University students, supported by advertising. Seating provides choices for all customer types and needs, places for groups to be loud or to be quiet, with nooks nestled in lush landscaping to escape the bustling food market. Pale timbers, high whites and soft greys are used to create a sense of openness and lightness, the perfect backdrop to enable the retail to be the hero. Pop colours are introduced through seating and custom-design fabrics and playful graphic table tops reflect the Gold Coast energy and spirit. We look for opportunities to embed this local spirit in the very fabric of the building, feature tiles in our amenities reflecting the stripe of beach towels, vintage beach photographs are developed into life-sized amenities icons and custom wallpapers. Our female shoppers are welcomed with playful messages on our make-up mirrors and special touches like custom make-up lighting, purse shelves and feature pendants. Another of the ways we've chosen to communicate a unique and local feel, both at Pacific Fair and in our major redeveloping centres around the country, is through incorporating visual arts into the experience and embedding cultural context into the building fabric. Artistic works and collaborations are a key platform for engagement with visitors and the local communities; everything from bringing in that wow factor installation that becomes the Instagram moment for thousands of international visitors to working with local printmakers to embed a quintessentially local expression of creativity into the everyday. For Pacific Fair, we developed a series of custom table tops and fabrics unique to Pacific Fair, working closely with Sophie Bell of Peppa Hart—a young Gold Coast artist, stylist and online fashion and art retailer. Even our furniture pods are designed like art installations with bold colours, relaxed furniture, rugs with tropical kaftans prints from Designer Rugs' collaboration with Camilla Franks, and oversized lamps that look like giant sun hats. For Macquarie Centre, art is one of the key threads of a sensory shopping experience, where emerging, nationally and internationally recognised Australians artists are celebrated throughout the building. Perpetuate, Australia Luminescent and Epic Love are placed throughout the centre for best effect, and reflect the incredible growth of the north-west corridor, the colourful joy of life and the beauty of Australian landscape. The artworks were design to evoke all five senses and bring the centre together as a cohesive, sensory experience. The feature piece in centre court 'Epic Love" by Nike Savvas from Sydney fills the atrium space with an explosion of brightly coloured spheres, suspended in 'space'. The 2,500 hovering spheres appear to link, creating infinite parallel lines to give the sense of being immersed in a carnival of colour and movement, and evoke a joyous celebration and exaltation of life. It's still early days, however the response to Macquarie has been overwhelmingly positive with measured increases in both customer satisfaction and market share. The challenge for placemakers in this very commercial world of shopping centres is capturing and measuring the value created for owners by investing in this approach. In the short term, it is difficult to draw a direct correlation with financial performance, particularly with so many other factors influencing the bottom lie. However, consumer advocacy and satisfaction is readily measured, and it's possible to see the connection between positive growth in these indicators and increased growth in visitation frequency and dwell times. From the perspective of creating competitive advantage that has longevity, authenticity is the best defence against imitation. Unlocking the value of a place-led approach to redevelopment and ongoing management at AMP Capital is about alignment across the entire business. Putting place at the heart of what we do, grows the value of our centres not only for our core business as investment managers, but for our communities, our team and the people that choose our centres.

Pollinator protection is important to us at TruGreen. And as National Pollinator Week (June 20-26, 2016) approaches, we are reaching out to ask for your partnership in making the environment healthier for the bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators that are so critical to our ecosystem.
In 2015, we distributed more than 40,000 wildflower seed packets with information about pollinator health to our customers. This year, we will build on these efforts by distributing 100,000 packets to customers in your area. As a result, over a two-year cycle, we will have distributed 28 million wildflower seeds creating an opportunity to create approximately 1.4 million square feet of new food and foraging area for pollinators. These activities align with two of the four key strategies of The White House Pollinator Health Task Force: consumer education and the creation of more pollinator food and foraging areas.
Because of the integral role local government plays in environmental stewardship, we are excited to announce that we are partnering with Democratic Municipal Officials to distribute an additional 25,000 pollinator wildflower seed packets to cities and counties in your state in observance of National Pollinator Week. With your participation, we can increase the potential foraging space total to over 1.6 million square feet. To receive your seeds, fill out the following survey. Seeds will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.
Included are links to other documents (signage, awareness tips, proclamation language) for download.
Potential seed distribution ideas include:
- Organize a pollinator garden planting event at a local school, library or community center.
- Issue a National Pollinator Week proclamation and plant the seeds at city or county buildings.
- Distribute to neighborhood groups and encourage planting in community wildflower gardens or vacant lots (if permitted by local ordinances).
We are excited to serve as a partner with Democratic Municipal Officials and your city or town during National Pollinator Week. For any questions or concerns, contact Nika Martin at email@example.com.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Did the HPV come back and do I have cervical cancer?"
In May 2011 my PAP smear came back abnormal. I went to have the colposcopy and when the results came back, it turned out that the lesion was benign. I had a follow up PAP 6 months later and though everything was fine, I still had HPV. Six months later in June of 2012 I had another PAP, which was normal and the HPV test came back negative. Now, I've just had another follow up PAP and it the results were abnormal and the LSIL has returned (or a new one has appeared). I have two questions, the first is; Does this mean that the HPV came back? And the second is; Because this is my second abnormal PAP (although now in a row) does it mean I have cervical cancer?
I recommend that you speak with your OB/GYN to discuss your concerns. Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that is associated with mucosal cancers. There are multiple different sub-types of the virus, and the different sub-types are considered 'high risk' depending on their location. For instance, HPV sub types 16 and 18 are considered the high risk sub-types for cervical cancer. In head and neck cancers (such as tonsil cancer, or base of tongue cancer) HPV subtype 16 can also play a role indicating that the virus causes an abnormality that can potentially lead to cancer formation within mucosal (the cells that line inner organs) lining. That doesn't mean that every person that is infected with the HPV virus will develop cancer, as it is estimated in some studies that up to 25% of people in the United States are infected with HPV, and not all of them develop a cancer. Once infected with the virus, it is never completely eradicated form the body. Rather it can lie dormant for a time before becoming reactivated and causing dysplasia. Dysplasia is a pathologic descriptive term used to stratify the appearance of abnormalities of mucosal cells as visualized by pathologists. It is a continuum of abnormality that can ultimately lead to cancer formation, and as such is considered a risk factor for cancer formation. An abnormal 'Pap' means that there is dysplasia seen on the path analysis, but does not necessarily mean that it is a cancer. Again, I recommend that you talk to your OB/GYN to discuss your questions. They will be able to give you more person-specific answers as they are familiar with your personal history.

Home Movie Theater Installations In Keego Harbor
There's nothing like a night out at the movie theater to unwind and enjoy an escape, albeit temporary, from everyday life. The problem is - it takes a small fortune for a family to do so, which just adds to the stress you're trying to escape! A solution is at hand.
While these projects can recreate all of the aspects of your favorite cinema (except for the people talking in the next row) like dimmable lighting, tiered seating, and an acoustically treated room - creating a Home Theater does not have to break the bank either. Let Telesis Electronics discuss with you all of the possibilities that exist within your budget, and begin the journey that will allow you to escape every night, without even leaving home!

Learning Management Syustems | News
During its annual conference, BbWorld 2014, taking place this week in Las Vegas, Blackboard has made several announcements regarding new forms of packaging and delivery for its multiple products. The company announced a software-as-a-service model for its flagship learning management system (LMS); it also is releasing "solution sets" of applications appropriate for a specific school need or environment; and it has bundled a set of products for Internet2 members.
The public cloud version of Blackboard Learn will be available later this summer to customers alongside an on-premises self-hosted edition and a Blackboard-hosted private cloud edition. The SaaS approach is intended to provide customers with automatic delivery of the environment's latest features.
The company's Open Education platform, which hosts massive open, online courses, is currently in beta testing through the SaaS approach.
"We are very excited to bring a broader cloud strategy to market that gives schools a wide variety of reliable and sustainable deployment options," said Mark Strassman, Blackboard's senior vice president of product management.
Blackboard's new solution sets feature bundles of products and technologies that cater to specific needs. All of them include the LMS and consulting services to assist with the technology adoption. From there, a number of bundles have been developed for higher education and K-12.
For example, a learning insights set includes the LMS, reporting and dashboard functionality and institutional assessment and accreditation support services. Another flavor of that adds Blackboard Collaborate, a collaboration platform, and retention-related services.
"The launch of our solutions is our way of making it easier for schools to work with us," explained Strassman. "By integrating disparate products we are able to create a more unified, consistent experience and simplify the workflow in order to create greater value to teachers and students."
Three months after the company became a member of the Internet2 NET+ initiative, Blackboard has put together a suite of products and services for members of the nonprofit education technology consortium. The company said in a statement that the bundle was developed with input from several institutions, including Cornell University, the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The suite includes the LMS, as well as Blackboard's collaboration software, data analytics and reporting tools, a content repository, and helpdesk and deployment services. Also included is explore, Blackboard's content sharing platform, for developing and sharing digital course materials within and across schools. The content can be tagged, rated and aligned to competencies and standards for searching and organizing. The company said that explore would be offered free of charge to all Internet2 members, even without a Blackboard NET+ license.
"Student success is critically important today in higher education and we need innovative, standards-based tools so when we identify approaches that work, they can be easily replicated in other institutions," said Jack Seuss, CIO and vice president of IT at U Maryland, Baltimore County. "Blackboard's innovative teaching and learning solutions are designed to do just that. By focusing on student outcomes, first and foremost, this unique offer won't just help individual Internet2 institutions like us, but it will also help foster a more collaborative industry."
Next month Blackboard and Internet2 will put together an advisory board to lay out the roadmap for the Blackboard offer, along with joint initiatives and research projects. A portion of the revenue generated from the suite will go to the Internet2 community for further development of content sharing among members.
"We are dedicated to reducing the complexity, cost and time for higher education to benefit from advanced cloud services," said Shelton Waggener, senior vice president at Internet2. "The collaborative benefits from utilizing these new tools both within the traditional classroom setting and beyond are impressive. I couldn't be more pleased with the great work of Blackboard in working with the community service validation process. They leveraged their industry expertise, innovative best practices and commitment to interoperability in a true partnership, resulting in a very welcome addition to the Internet2 services portfolio."
The two organizations will host a webinar on August 20, 2014 at 1 p.m. (Eastern) to provide additional details.
