Betta fish is a very beautiful one to make your fish tank brightly colored and exquisite in looks, but it comes with some small yet necessary points to be remembered and always kept in regulation. Thus, here is a Betta fish complete care guide you should go through.
- Betta fish is originally called Siamese fighting fish and is the most celebrated of the Gourami family.
- Betta's name comes from the ancient clan of warriors called " The Bettah".
- Betta is a tropical fish with origin traced back to rice paddy fields and standing flood plains.
- Betta has a life span of up to 6 years if kept properly.
- Betta is a combatant fish and is as aggressive as its vibrant colors.
- Male Bettas never get along with each other and often fight off to death.
- Female are less aggressive than male Betta fishes and can be kept together preferably for the breeding purpose.
- Female Betta fish can be placed in a group of minimum 5 in a tank of at least 12-15 gallons of water.
- Betta belongs to the labyrinth family of fishes and thus breathes through direct oxygen at times. They might jump out off the tank at times too.
- Betta fish tank mates are very few and usually dull and smaller in size than Betta.
- Betta fishes are best kept alone as they do not gel up well with any other fishes.
- The optimum tank size for housing a Betta is 2 gallons or 10 litres minimum.
- The Betta fish tanks choices are vast which include: Round bowls, bow front tanks, tanks with dividers, Zen looking tanks, advanced "bio" tanks.
- Betta comes from a tropical region and thus requires a moderately warm temperature and get uncomfortable in the cooler temperatures than 75 degree Fahrenheit.
- Decorations are not required in a Betta tank neither are they appreciated by the fish. But, dark caves and corners are preferred resting spots.
- Betta likes to stay in one place and usually do not swim all around but are territorial in tendency.
- Filters can be of lesser power when housing a Betta as their origin is from mostly standing waters thus, do not like high streams. The flow of the filter pump should be minimised.
- Betta is very sensitive to atmosphere change and get sick with slightest variations. Keeping a regular check on the conditions and functioning of the tank is necessary.
Maintenance of Tank
- Unfiltered water tanks are not preferred for housing of a Betta and if so, will require compulsory 50% water change twice week and complete water change once a week.
- Waste products from fishes produce ammonia which is harmful in even small amounts. The filter needs to be effective in its working to remove it immediately.
- Tank water cleaning for a filtered tank is easy in Betta with water change of 15-20% every week.
- Betta fishes are easily affected by change in water temperature and thus make it sure that the water you are adding has the same temperature as the one it is already in.
- Aquarium salt and water conditioners are good for Betta a they remove deadly toxins from the water. But, the amounts should be kept in regulation as they can harm the fish skin instead.
- Tank can be cleaned by using gravel vacuum cleaners and soft clothes but not with soap or cleaning chemical. The bacteria in the tank are good for the fish.
Food and Diet
- Betta fish is carnivorous and requires a high protein meat and fish based diet.
- Commercial pellets can be good food choice for Betta as it includes fish meat, blood worms, shrimp mixture.
- Betta fish can easily get constipated due to overfeeding. It does not have a control over its food cravings. So, keep a check on the amounts required for your Betta fish's diet.
- Betta requires around 2-3 pellets twice a day and not over that. Remove any uneaten food immediately from the tank.
- Betta fish also likes snacks from time to time. They enjoy freeze dried or frozen bloodworms, brine shrimps and glass worms. Once a week is enough for them to avoid bloating.
Health and Sickness
- Betta fish are highly prone to diseases as they are sensitive and have their behavioural tantrums too which affect its health.
- The most common of the diseases are fin/tail rot and tail biting. They are mostly related to tank maintenance and can be cured easily.
- Temperature change causes a lot of sickness to the Betta out of which lethargy is the most common. Use of a heater is recommended in the tank always.
- Infections like white spots and parasite attack like ich are one of the deadly diseases for a Betta.
- The best treatment for any disease treatment for a Betta is to isolate it in a similar tank rather than treating it in the same tank.
- Tuberculosis is almost incurable in Betta fish.
- Just like any other fish sickness, Betta can be cured by similar treatments for a too. But, use of aquarium salts and Epsum salts is a better method to treat most of them.

Take a tasty tour of two — a centuries-old farm & a newfangled high-tech biz
Mention maple syrup, and New York probably isn't the first state to jump to mind. That would be a northern neighbor that begins with a V.
But graced with an abundance of maple trees, the Empire State is home to many syrup makers. And during the upcoming New York State Maple Weekends, March 16-17 and 23-24, more than 130 of them will welcome the public with tours, tastings, pancake breakfasts and other offerings.
Although maple producers are concentrated in the northern part of the state, a smattering of them are within a few hours of New York City, including syrup makers in Dutchess, Putnam, Ulster, Sullivan and Delaware counties.
To get a taste of maple flavor in advance of the visitors' weekends, The Post visited two very different producers: the long-running, family-operated Niese's Maple Farm in Putnam Valley, and Crown Maple in Dover Plains, a 3-year-old enterprise that's taking maple sap into new territory.

NJ Sewer Relining – Sewer Repair Services
Need sewer repairs ? Call us any time at A1 Sewer & Drain Services.
Unmatchable Price & Service: 201-645-0888.
When it comes to sewer repairs and sewer replacement, there's a big question on many Bergen County and Morris County homeowners' minds: "Will my homeowner's insurance cover the cost?" Unfortunately, there's not always a simple or straightforward answer.
It can depend on your policy and coverage, and you may or may not be able to get your insurance to cover all or part of the cost of sewer repair services.
While sewer backups can seem like a sudden, unpredictable, and catastrophic failure, serious problems with your sewer main line almost always result from years of gradual wear and tear. This can impact whether your policy covers the damage. Homeowner's insurance may or may not also cover water damage from sewer backflow or other flooding that results from plumbing or sewer problems.
At A1 Sewer & Drain Services, we can work with you to determine what your insurance covers. We've worked with hundreds of local homeowners and businesses to provide fast, reliable sewer repair and sewer replacement, fixing the problem for years to come. To find out more, or for same-day service in as little as 45 minutes, call us any time at 201-645-0888.
Does My Homeowner's Insurance Cover Sewer Repairs?
Homeowner's insurance claims revolving around backflow from a broken sewer line are surprisingly common in NJ and elsewhere in the United States. 40% of US homeowners have filed a claim for water damage, and natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy are just a very small percentage of those claims. The overwhelming majority of water damage claims are caused by faulty plumbing, whether it's flooding from a burst or leaking pipe, or sewer backflow from a clogged or broken sewer main line.
Many homeowner's insurance policies will cover faulty plumbing to some extent, but your mileage may vary. Your sewer pipe may or may not fall under your home insurance policy's coverage, so it's good to find out ahead of time.
Factors That Can Impact Your Coverage
There are several factors that could impact whether or not your homeowner's insurance will cover the cost of sewer repairs or sewer line replacement for a broken sewer pipe. Some of these factors can include:
- The location of the break. Using sewer camera inspection, NJ sewer plumbers can verify the exact location of the break in your sewer pipe. If the break is outside the "footprint" of your home's foundation, your insurance policy may not cover the damage.
- Aging, wear, and tear. Homeowner's insurance generally covers problems that can be traced to non-negligent damages, but this usually excludes general age-related deterioration. Most problem with sewer pipes stem from rust, corrosion, and other damage that occurs over time. Damage to an older sewer pipe might not be covered by insurance.
- Weathering. Weathering due to poor or nonexistent insulation can also damage your chances of getting sewer damage covered by home insurance.
Usually, homeowner's insurance will cover the cost of sewer repairs, sewer replacement, and other services from NJ plumbers if the ultimate cause of the damage was poor workmanship and shoddy installation. If the break causes water damage, then that may also be covered.
Buying Extra Coverage for Sewer Pipe Repair & Replacement
If you're concerned about the potential cost of sewer repairs or sewer replacement for a broken or burst sewer pipe, you may want to consider purchasing additional coverage. Many homeowner's insurance companies offer additional policies for sewer and drain coverage, which usually average an additional $50-100 per year. Because this pales in comparison to the cost of sewer replacement or extensive sewer repairs for a broken sewer pipe, you may want to consider it.

At A1 Sewer & Drain Services, we provide sewer repairs, sewer replacement, and other services in Morris County, Bergen County, and beyond.

#Google's #Panda algorithm gets integrated into the core ranking signals over at Google.
Panda is an algorithm that's applied to sites overall and has become one of our core ranking signals. It measures the quality of a site, which you can read more about in our guidelines. Panda allows Google to take quality into account and adjust ranking accordingly.
John Mueller said in a Google Hangout yesterday at the 28 minute mark that the Panda scores assigned to a site (yes, it is a site wide score) is still not done in real time and not done as part of the core algorithm run. So even with Panda being part of the core algorithm, it doesn't mean Panda sites will see recovery when a core algorithm is confirmed to have been run by Google.
As part of the core algorithm, you probably wouldn't see those kind of updates happening. That's something that's just kind of rolling, rolling right along, so it's not so much like in the past where you'd see on this date, this actually changed, and we, we updated that. So that's something kind of something as a more rolling algorithm you wouldn't really see the individual cut dates of specific parts of the data.

Rider Benefits from Generous Grant to Improve STEM Teaching in New Jersey
Rider's Online STEM Core Curriculum Professional Development Certificate program addresses the shortage of STEM teachers.
The School of Education at Rider University has received a $300,000 grant from the Martinson Family Foundation to support a new initiative aimed at improving the teaching of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) disciplines for P-12 teachers in New Jersey over the next three years.
The grant will support Rider's Online STEM Core Curriculum Professional Development Certificate program, which includes the creation of 12 new, online, graduate education courses in STEM – six in the math core curriculum and six in the science and design and technology curriculum, as well as additional professional development opportunities. The program officially began in July.
Despite numerous efforts to address the scarcity of STEM teachers, this shortage – both statewide and nationally – is well documented, and quality instruction in STEM areas remains an outstanding need. At the same time, fewer teachers are returning to college to obtain graduate degrees. Rider's Online STEM Core Curriculum Professional Development Certificate program aims to reverse both trends.
"We are creating high quality online STEM courses for teachers and leaders using cutting-edge technology," explained Dr. Sharon Sherman, dean of Rider's School of Education, who added that the program uses Rider's new Canvas Learning Management System to develop a technology-rich and interactive learning environment.
"By making outstanding content and pedagogy, as well as rigorous academic preparation accessible to a greater number of current teachers, and by seeking support and involvement from numerous school districts, this online core curriculum model will provide what's needed to bring about significant improvement in STEM education," she said.
Sherman also noted that with the common core standards being implemented in P-12 schools across the nation, and the Partnership for Assessment of College and Career Readiness (PARCC) assessments being developed to align with the common core, Rider is providing teachers and leaders with the tools they need to foster student achievement.
Components of the program include curricular development of inquiry-based math and science online graduate STEM courses; development of technical, design-based learning environment; and development of online professional development opportunities for teachers who are not ready to enroll in graduate courses.
Sherman estimates that some 180 teachers will complete the Online STEM Core Curriculum Professional Development courses over the next three years, and that more than 300 teachers will participate in five-hour online STEM professional development workshop opportunities during the same period.
"It's an excellent opportunity for students who are graduating from college and going directly into teaching to continue their education while working to become more prepared in STEM early in their careers," Sherman said. "This is a perfect opportunity for an elementary education teacher who seeks to gain middle school certification in mathematics or science. The biggest beneficiaries of the program will be the P-12 students who will be taught by highly qualified STEM teachers."
The Martinson Family Foundation (MFF) supports educational initiatives encouraging P-12 match and science teachers to broaden their knowledge and skills through collaborative programs at nearby colleges and universities. MFF and Rider have been partners since 2003, when the foundation began funding teacher training programs at the University's Science Education and Literacy Center (SELECT) and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Center for Science Teaching and Learning.
That support has continued with funding of multiple phases of the CONNECT-ED (CONsortium for New Explorations in Coherent Teacher EDucation) program, and the MFF continues to evaluate other Rider STEM initiatives based on their innovation, outstanding faculty, and proven outreach to local teachers.

Sistema digestivo - Systema digestorium
The apparatus for the digestion of the food consists of the digestive tube and of certainaccessory organs.
The Digestive Tube (alimentary canal) is a musculomembranous tube, about 9 metres long, extending from the mouth to the anus, and lined throughout its entire extent by mucous membrane. It has received different names in the various parts of its course: at its commencement is the mouth, where provision is made for the mechanical division of the food (mastication), and for its admixture with a fluid secreted by the salivary glands (insalivation); beyond this are the organs of deglutition, the pharynx and the esophagus,which convey the food into the stomach, in which it is stored for a time and in which also the first stages of the digestive process take place; the stomach is followed by the small intestine, which is divided for purposes of description into three parts, the duodenum, thejejunum, and ileum. In the small intestine the process of digestion is completed and the resulting products are absorbed into the blood and lacteal vessels. Finally the small intestine ends in the large intestine, which is made up of cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal,the last terminating on the surface of the body at the anus.
The accessory organs are the teeth, for purposes of mastication; the three pairs of salivary glands—the parotid, submaxillary, and sublingual—the secretion from which mixes with the food in the mouth and converts it into a bolus and acts chemically on one of its constituents; the liver and pancreas, two large glands in the abdomen, the secretions of which, in addition to that of numerous minute glands in the walls of the alimentary canal, assist in the process of digestion.

Video creators have access to demographics of viewers, the attention span of viewers (relative to other videos of the same length), information on how the users found the video, counts by country and region among other information.
Recently, I noticed another feature that would be especially useful for someone who receives thousands of comments: visual comment clouds. These comment clouds are a presentation of the most used words that viewers put into comments on the video, but the words' sizes are in proportion to their frequency of use. For users who gets thousands of comments, this is probably a really efficient way to understand the impact their videos had on the audience.

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department filed a memorandum in federal District Court in New Orleans Friday suggesting that Judge Susie Morgan can and should order that Justice Bernette Johnson's initial tenure on the Supreme Court under the provisions of a consent decree count toward the seniority that would place her in line to be chief justice next year. The memo, filed by attorneys with the voting section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, notes the Johnson was elected to a temporary seat on the court as a result of the Chisom voting rights lawsuit and that, "Pursuant to the terms of the consent judgment in this case, the tenure she gained in the Chisom seat counts toward her total tenure on the Supreme Court. This Court can and should resolve this question as an issue of federal law under the consent judgment in this case."
Under the state constitution, the most senior justice serves as chief justice, and, if all her years of service are counted, Johnson would assume that position when Chief Justice Catherine "Kitty" Kimball retires early next year. She would be the first African-American chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
However, Justice Jeffery Victory is staking his own claim to succeed Kimball, arguing that during her first years of service, Johnson was really an appeals court judge on assignment to the Supreme Court, under the terms of the consent decree, and not a full-fledged Supreme Court justice for purposes of counting he tenure. Moreover, earlier this week, attorneys for the state Supreme Court argued that Judge Morgan doesn't have jurisdiction over claims brought by Johnson to try to block her colleagues from debating and voting on who should succeed Kimball.
But the Justice Department memo flatly denies both those claims, asserting that the federal court in New Orleans "retains the subject-matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the pending motions of the Chisom plaintiffs and plaintiff-intervenor Johnson and should exercise its discretion to interpret and to enforce its own consent judgment, which makes clear that Chisom service should count toward any calculation of Louisiana Supreme Court tenure."
There is, the Justice Department contends, no ambiguity on the matter:
"The initial 1992 consent judgment in this case clearly intended to make the Chisom justice a full and equal member of the Louisiana Supreme Court from that time forward. As a full and equal member of that court, the accrual of tenure is one of the benefits to be gained by virtue of time served in that capacity. Although clear on the face of the 1992 consent judgment, the amended 2000 consent judgment incorporating Act 776 specifically clarified that Chisom service counted toward any calculation of tenure."

Lengyel culture
The Lengyel culture, is an archaeological culture of the European Neolithic, centered on the Middle Danube in Central Europe. It flourished during 5000-3400 BC.[1] The eponymous type site is at Lengyel in Tolna county, Hungary.
It was preceded by the Linear Pottery culture and succeeded by the Corded Ware culture. In its northern extent, overlapped the somewhat later but otherwise approximately contemporaneous Funnelbeaker culture. Also closely related are the Stroke-ornamented ware and Rössen cultures, adjacent to the north and west, respectively.
Subgroups of the Lengyel horizon include the Austrian/Moravian Painted Ware I and II, Aichbühl, Jordanów/Jordanov/Jordansmühl, Schussenried, Gatersleben, etc.
It is a wide interaction sphere or cultural horizon rather than an archaeological culture in the narrow sense. Its distribution overlaps with the Tisza culture and with Stroke-Ornamented Pottery (STK) as far north as Osłonki, central Poland.
Lengyel pottery was found in western Hungary, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Austria, Poland, and in the Sopot culture of the northern parts of Former Yugoslavia. Influence in pottery styles is found even further afield, in parts of Germany and Switzerland.
Agriculture and stock raising (mainly cattle, but also pigs, and to a lesser extent, ovicaprids) was practiced, though a large number of wild faunal remains have also been recovered. Settlements consisted of small houses as well as trapezoid longhouses. These settlements were sometimes open, sometimes surrounded by a defensive ditch.
Inhumation was in separate cemeteries, in the flexed position with apparently no preference for which side the deceased was laid out in.
Lengyel sites of the later period show signs of the use of copper in form of beads and hammered ribbons, marking the dawn of the Chalcholithic period in Europe.
It was associated with the cover-term Old Europe by Marija Gimbutas, though may have been undergone "kurganization" by the Proto-Indo-Europeans and become integrated into the successor Globular Amphora culture.

Blatter says Fifa faces 'more bad news'
[ZURICH] Fifa president Sepp Blatter said on Thursday that the scandal-tainted football body faces "more bad news" and that officials accused of corruption had brought shame and humiliation on the organisation.
But the 79-year-old Swiss official told the opening of Fifa's annual congress he could not be blamed for the latest controversy to hit the body saying he could not "monitor" every official.
"The next few months will not be easy for Fifa. I am sure more bad news will follow but it is necessary to begin to restore trust," he said.
Mr Blatter called the scandals "unprecedented" and that the "actions of individuals bring shame and humiliation on football and demand action and change from us all".

In some autoimmune diseases autoantibody is the only or main autoimmune feature of the disease and the pathology can be explained by the actions of the autoantibody. Therefore it is easy to classify these as antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. Different classes of autoantibody, with different functions, can be produced in autoimmune diseases and cause pathology in a number of ways:
1. Complement-mediated lysis:
Autoantibody binding to red blood cells can result in complement fixation and lysis of the red cells, leading to autoimmune haemolytic anaemia
2. Opsonisation:
In autoimmune thrombocytopenia autoantibody binds to platelets and promotes their opsonisation by phagocytes in the liver and spleen (Figure.4). This leads to platelet deficiency (thrombocytopenia) and poor clotting.
3. Inhibition of receptor function:
The disease myasthenia gravis involves the production of antibodies against the acetyl choline receptor, which is present on muscle fibers of the neuromuscular junction. The autoantibodies bind to the acetyl choline receptors and prevent the binding of acetyl choline released at the nerve endings. This blocks transmission of signals across the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle weakness.
4. Stimulation of receptors:
For reasons that are not understood, in some cases antibodies against receptors can stimulate the receptor rather than block it. This happens in Grave's disease where autoantibodies are produced against the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor present on thyroid epithelial cells (Figure.5). Stimulation of these cells results in thyroid overactivity with the symptoms of hyper-thyroidism – nervousness, tiredness, weight loss despite a good appetite and proptosis (bulging of the eyes).
5. Blockage of biological function:
Some autoantibodies block the function of molecules other than receptors. Pernicious anemia results from autoantibodies against intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is produced in the stomach and binds to vitamin B12, enabling B12 to be absorbed from the intestine (Figure.6). The autoantibodies against intrinsic factor prevent the binding of B12 and hence its absorption, resulting in vitamin B12 deficiency. The vitamin deficiency leads to a lack of platelets and leukocytes and neurological changes.
6. Deposition of immune complexes:
In SLE, immune complexes fail to be cleared from the blood and are deposited in various sites such as the kidney, skin and joints. The immune complexes then fix complement, which leads to an inflammatory response and damage to the affected tissues. In SLE this results in kidney and joint damage and characteristic skin rashes.

"Displaying the soulful tenderness of Ron Sexsmith and Ray LaMontagne…Lane's gentle finger picking and intimate vocals lend a somber grace that is universal" – Rolling Stone Magazine
Born to a comedian and a clown, Jordie Lane spent his early years in his parents traveling circus. Many years later, not much has changed, with Lane renowned for both his relentless international touring schedule, and his witty, comedic storytelling. Lane's music, seems like it comes from another place and time. The songs are nostalgic and immediately affecting, his rhythmic guitar playing is authentic and raw, and the rich resonance of his voice is simply otherworldly.
It is a voice that has taken Lane around the world, performing major festivals in the US, Canada, UK and Australia, and touring with the likes of Billy Bragg, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Old Crow Medicine Show, Neko Case, Cat Power, Ruthie Foster and The Moody Blues.
Australia's leading folk/roots magazine Rhythms have called Lane "one of Australia's brightest new roots music stars" and Rolling Stone Magazine said his debut album Sleeping Patterns "may well come to be regarded as one of the most assured ever by a local artist".

2013 Audi A3 Euroncap Rating
By Arman Barari on Aug 29, 2012 with Comments 0
Yep, you guessed it! The new Audi A3 is a five-star car. How could a new Audi score less.The scores are pretty good too.
The results for adult occupant protection in a frontal, rear, and side impact as well as child safety and pedestrian protection make the new Audi A3 one of the safest cars in its class. The test engineers awarded the A3 the best rating for driver and passenger in the frontal and side impact collisions. Children are also afforded very good protection in the new Audi A3. Euro NCAP also singled out the seat belt reminder for the front and, in particular, the rear seats. The Audi A3 comes as standard with both systems.
The quality of the car, and the number of available features on board contribute to the car's safety.
Audi press release:
Pedestrian protection is a key issue for Audi and the car maker has delivered an outstanding solution in the A3 – a specially designed front end incorporating an active bonnet, which is raised in the event of a collision using a pyrotechnic release mechanism to help mitigate the consequences of an accident. These features help the Audi A3 to score some very good marks in this discipline as well.
Audi also values active safety above and beyond the measures assessed by Euro NCAP. Standard halogen or LED daytime running lights, depending on version, make the Audi A3 more visible to pedestrians, for example. Other driver assistance systems such as the standard rest recommendation function built into the Driver's Information System, and the optional speed limit display, Audi adaptive cruise control with pre sense front, Audi active lane assist and Audi side assist systems are now also available to drivers of the compact-class model. The same also applies to lighting systems such as the adaptive headlight range adjustment and full-LED headlights, which will filter down to certain A3 variants from the executive class in the near future.
In addition, the A3 also comes as standard with the multicollision brake – a safety function that received the 2012 Yellow Angel award from German motoring organisation ADAC. This function can assist the driver in an accident to reduce the danger of skidding and the risk of further collisions during the accident by means of automatically triggered braking.
The all-new A3 is now available to order priced from £19,205 OTR, and UK deliveries will begin on September 15.

WASHINGTON � U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan announced Wednesday that North Carolina community colleges will receive $27 million from the U.S. Department of Labor to develop and expand training programs to help North Carolinians find jobs.
WASHINGTON � U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan announced Wednesday that North Carolina community colleges will receive $27 million from the U.S. Department of Labor to develop and expand training programs to help North Carolinians find jobs.
Randolph Community College (RCC) and Vance-Granville Community College will receive $1.7 million each through a six-college grant led by Pellissippi State Community College in Tennessee. Other colleges in the group are Northeast State Community College in Blountville, Tenn., Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth, Fla; and Polk State College in Winter Haven, Fla.
As part of the newly formed Southeastern Economic and Education Leadership Consortium (SEELC), the colleges will train workers in welding, machining and manufacturing in support of the development of educational and career pathways tied to national industry standards and credentials in these fields.
The grant money is part of an Obama administration announcement on Sept. 18 of $474.5 million in grants to expand demand-driven skills training and strengthen employer partnerships.
Hagan said in a press release, the new and expanded programs funded by the Department of Labor grants will bring together community colleges, private industry and workforce boards to help veterans, long-term unemployed adults, and workers displaced due to outsourcing gain the skills needed for jobs that are available now.
�These grants will help some of our outstanding community colleges teach much-needed skills to workers who have struggled to find a job for far too long,� Hagan said. �Getting North Carolinians back to work is my top priority, and new and expanded job training programs will help families get back on their feet. I will continue working to pass my bipartisan AMERICA Works Act that would build on these programs and help North Carolinians across our state.�
According to Cathy Hefferin, RCC public information officer, the six colleges in the SEELC have been specifically chosen to represent economic and demographic location diversity, and all reside in states whose governors and community leaders are working together to further economic and workforce systems change. Further, SEELC integrates an evidence-based approach to implementing a regionally based economic, workforce and education partnership in support of the development of educational and career pathways tied to national industry standards and credentials in welding, machining and manufacturing.
The grants are part of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant Program, which promotes skills development and employment opportunities in fields such as advanced manufacturing, transportation and health care, as well as science, technology, engineering and math careers through partnerships between training providers and local employers.
Hefferin said the SEELC is partnering with the American Welding Society (AWS) and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) to align courses, curriculum and credentials to nationally recognized industry standards and engaging local employers to meet specific local skill needs in the regional economy. RCC�s employer partners are Deere Hitachi, Southcorr, and Technimark. Employer partners will also provide work-based learning opportunities � primarily through internships.
She said the grant will span four years and will cover staffing, benefits, equipment, supplies, travel, training, instructional materials and administrative costs. Enrollment of some participants could start as early as spring semester 2014, and all SEELC colleges will initiate participant enrollment no later than summer 2014. The program time frame assumes most credentialing will occur in the second and third years of training, with labor market outcomes becoming most pronounced in years two through four.

Hello again!!! I finally got the girls (Nelly and Erl *waves*) back for another combined post. After "W" I was afraid we would never work together again.
My Love for end of year list is humongous, I read every single one I see. So I was very excited to put this one together.
The rules were simple: 1. Any show that aired in 2016 2. It can be SK, Taiwan, China and Japan 3. only get 2 picks per question and one honorable mention ( I suck at following my own rules). Lastly 4. Only shows that have finish airing. I have tons of love for mermaids, weightlifting fairies and goblins, but they can't be in this list! Also keep in mind, these are our opinions, life would be boring all loved the same things. Lastly guys there may be spoilers so please beware. Let's get it started! Continue reading

With Software Defined Networking (or SDN in short) gaining huge traction over the past few years, numerous start-ups, protocols, frameworks and other applications have started coming up every few weeks. With this also came numerous efforts to standardize around this concept, chief among them being the Open Networking Foundation. Last week saw the emergence of another standards group (rather self-proclaimed) consisting of industry leading networking companies to launch the OpenDaylight project. The OpenDaylight project is an open source effort similar to the OpenStack project to collaborate on SDN related technologies. An extract from the OpenDaylight describing its motivation:
" At this early stage of SDN adoption, the industry acknowledges the benefits of establishing an open, reference framework for programmability and control through an open source SDN solution. Such a framework maintains the flexibility and choice to allow organizations to deploy SDN as they please, yet still mitigates many of the risks of adopting early stage technologies and integrating with existing infrastructure investments.
With OpenDaylight, a community has come together to fill this need through the combination of open community developers and open source code and project governance that guarantees an open, community decision making process on business and technical issues. Establishing an open source project in this way is designed to help accelerate the development of technology available to users and enable widespread adoption of Software-Defined Networking. "
This is indeed a good development but as long as all groups collaborate with each other rather than compete against each other, which will lead to fragmentation and higher cost of implementation and deployment.
However, what is interesting about this project is the use of Java for one of their central component! Yes, for all the cries of Java being dead, we see a new far-reaching project adopt Java as one of their underlying technology. This is indeed good news for the Java platform as well as the greater Java community. This underlines the strength, robustness and applicability of the Java technology for myriad platforms. The architecture of the OpenDaylight project is reproduced below:
Java is used for the Controller platform described above. See this link for an architectural overview. Interestingly, as well, OSGi is also used by the Controller framework. OSGi is a dynamic modular framework for Java which has also been steadily gaining limelight in recent Java developments. OSGi enables the Service Abstraction Layer because of its modular and extensible nature.
There are indeed good times ahead for both the Java and OSGi community.
Happy daylighting!

Emerates Information Complete guide to Emirates travel and holidays
Guides to UAE Regions
United Arab Emirates is a constitutional federation of seven emirates;
Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah
and Fujairah. The federation was formally established on 2 December
1971. The United Arab Emerates (UAE) occupies an area of 83,000 sq
km along the south-eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Qatar lies
to the west, Saudi Arabia to the south and west, and Oman to the
north and east. The capital and the largest city of the federation,
Abu Dhabi, is located in the emirate of the same name.
The United Arab Emeirates (UAE) is a union of seven sovereign sheikhdoms, formed when the British withdrew from the Gulf in 1971. It boasts mountains, beaches, deserts, oases, camel racing, Bedouin markets and the legendary duty-free shopping of Dubai, all packed into a relatively small area.
It also has the most relaxed entry regulations in the region, the best tourist infrastructure and, despite promoting itself exclusively to tourists with a buck or three (or four) to spend, it's extremely accessible to independent budget travellers.
When to Go
The best time of the year to visit the Emerates is between November and April, when the weather is at its best. The rest of the year you're more likely to be running from one air-conditioned environment to the next instead of getting out and about and exploring. Ramadan, the muslim month of fasting, is strictly adhered to in the UAE; that means no eating, drinking or smoking in public from sunrise to sunset. Places that normally serve alcohol stop serving it during this month. Ramadan is in December-January for the next couple of years.
Money & Costs
Currency: UAE Dirham
The UAE is not a low-budget country, but it is possible to keep costs under a semblance of control. Plan on spending around US$50 a day for budget to mid-range travel; perhaps half that in Dubai and Fujairah, which have good youth hostels, and perhaps double that in Abu Dhabi, which has no cheap hotels.
You can change money at moneychangers or banks; moneychangers sometimes offer better rates than banks but they can be fussy about changing traveller's cheques. The best currency to bring is US dollars, followed by British pounds. Credit cards are widely accepted and there are plenty of ATMs connected to one or more of the global ATM systems.
Tips are not generally expected in the UAE, but they are certainly appreciated as most waiters earn extremely low salaries. The service charge added to your bill usually goes to the restaurant, not the serving staff. Most hotels are willing to negotiate discounts but virtually all other prices in the UAE are fixed.
country name: United Arab Emirates
Facts for the Traveler
Visas: British
citizens and nationals of most Gulf countries do not require visas;
Gulf citizens can stay as long as they want, Britons for up to three
months. All other visitors are required to have visas. Your hotel can
sponsor you for a 15-day, nonrenewable transit visa or a one-month
renewable visit visa. Note that if your passport shows evidence of
travel to Israel you will be denied entry to the UAE.

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year! The cooler weather, changing leaves, and the fact that our family has two birthdays during the month of October, make this month extra special to our family. Along with the fun and festive spirit in our home during this time of year, comes a well-loved and much anticipated family tradition – our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch!
Traditions are important in families. Whether it's something daily like our prayer before a meal, or something that only comes around once a year, like baking pies with Grandma at Thanksgiving, traditions give families something to look forward to, to depend on. Growing up, my family had many traditions, many of which are still alive and well today. For instance, when we visit my parents' home, we know that if it's Saturday, my dad is grilling burgers and we're eating baked beans with dinner. We also know that every Thanksgiving, my mother will take a few minutes at the dinner table and remind us of all God's many blessings, most of all, the blessing of a loving faith-filled family.
As an adult child, and now a mother, I realize how important those traditions were for our family growing up, and still are. They are a comfort to me, and I always know that I can count on them even when things seem chaotic in my life. My husband and I have created our own traditions in our home to provide those same things for our children. My four-year-old knows that several times a week, him and I will cuddle up on the couch and read a story. Recently, we've been enjoying Hermie & Friends: God Forgive Me & I Forgive You. It's a fun fall-themed book with an important lesson about forgiveness, the perfect follow-up to a day enjoying the fall weather! My children also look forward to Sunday night PB & J sandwiches after evening church service, and our reading of the Christmas story out of the Bible every Christmas morning. Plus, traditions are also about fun and making memories, right?
Our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch always makes for great memories. We smile. We laugh. We roll around in the hay, and have fun in the corn barrel. Then before we leave, each child picks out their own pumpkin to take home.
Sometimes we carve them, sometimes we paint them, and other times we use silly stickers to decorate them. Whatever we do with them, the memories of our trip linger much longer than our pumpkins. ☺
Angie is a Christian homeschooling mom of four active children ranging in age from 4 to 11. She's been married to her husband, Jeremy, for fourteen years as they've learned to live God's way, and grown together in His love.

She loves to change her hair every now and then & has started some trends of her own. She has experimented with long, short, curly, straight and colored hair. She mostly wears her hair down & does not overstyle. She uses very little products on her hair.
One of the signature hairstyles sported by her is the layered haircut. Layers and Jennifer are inseparable and she carries them off with utmost perfection whether it is long layers or short layers, parted sideways or in center. She also carries the ponytail with flair whether it's a slicked-back ponytail or a messy one. She has been seen in wavy hair as well. She has also sported diverse looks such as trendy braided hairstyle for a minimalist look, poker- straight strands for a classy look & long bob hairstyle for a casual look.
Jennifer Aniston generally likes to keep it simple & uses little makeup.
Face: She likes to glow, but not shine! She uses tinted moisturizer and sheer foundation and goes easy on the powder. She always takes care that her skin is not oily or shining. For cheeks she prefers a cream blush & plays with different shades of bronzers.
Lips: She always goes with nude lipstick shades which give her a natural glow & never goes over the top.
Eyes : She is mostly seen wearing beige and brown eye shadows which provide her a classic & timeless look. She enhances her lashes with Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara which she has been using for a long time.
Jennifer Aniston's style is always classy as well as trendy. Although most of her looks are monochromatic & she loves to dress in black, but they're never dull. She refuses to step out in anything that doesn't make the most of what she's got. She keeps her look ultra feminine by choosing figure-flattering garments in womanly fabrics in a way that's never over-the-top. The tight jeans and shirts, fitted jackets, and colorful scarves give her a modern and feminine, yet sophisticated look.
Jennifer really loves straight leg jeans and is rarely seen in skinny jeans. When it comes to blouses & tops, she sticks to the basic turtleneck, a white shirt and a cardigan & she usually teams them up with pencil skirts. For events & award functions, she usually goes for stylish evening gowns in varied styles such as strapless, beaded, cutout dress & halter. She has also been seen in Corset dresses. Taking a break from gowns, she has also donned tuxes & classy jumpsuits.
Jennifer Aniston loves to travel in style as well as comfort. She loves looking tall and is almost always in high heels. She does exhibit a lot of variety in her footwear from peep toe pumps to evening sandals to wedges. If she is more biased towards a particular kind of footwear, then it's got to be strappy sandals & these strappy pairs do look really good on her. For a casual look, she goes with stylish sneakers & she loves classic tall boots too.
Jennifer Aniston wears few accessories. She typically wears one low-key piece of jewelry per outfit such as a diamond ring, bracelet or dangling earrings. One of the areas where she takes more style risks is outerwear. She's often spotted in tailored blazers, relaxed denim as well as leather jackets. She is also fond of scarves which she uses to accessorize. Stylish glasses are a major part of her style whether it's a pair of smart tortoise shell glasses or a pair of aviator sunnies. She also loves to carry different types of clutches complementing her outfit such as leather, satin, hard case, box & sequined.

National Highway Cooperative Research Program by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies
Report contains the findings of research performed to develop recommended load and resistance factor design procedures for achieving longer spans using precast prestressed concrete bridge girders. Standard details and examples illustrating the design of three typical bridges were also developed. The material in this report will be of immediate interest to bridge designers.
PCI Journal (Nov/Dec 2003)
The Strutted Box Widening Method for Pre-stressed Concrete Segmental Bridges
Stantec Consulting used BD2 and BD2GUI to perform parametric study of span-by-span and cantilever bridge models. BD2 was used for detailed analysis of time-dependent construction stages. In this article author Ken Shushkewich presents the "strutted box widening method, "a system that allows a two-lane segmental bridge to be designed and constructed so that it can be easily widened into a three- or four-lane bridge at any time in the future".
Engineering News Record (March 1999)
New Bridge Design Add-on Speeds Access to Plans A new graphical user interface for an established bridge analysis software package is enabling bridge designers to more quickly see the results of their work. San Diego-based Interactive Design Systems, which developed Bridge Designer and Bridge Designer 2 in the 1980s primarily for designing pre-stressed concrete bridges, recently introduced BD2GUI, an add-on interface for BD2 that allows users to input and display data graphically.
Bridge Design & Engineering – Q1 1999
New Software Solves Problems – US software specialist Interactive Design Systems has just launched a graphical interface for Bridge Designer II, its analysis and design program for concrete post-tensioned segmental and cable stayed bridges. The snappily-titled BD2GUI provides bridge engineers with access to data in the Bridge Designer RDMS database.
BD2 uses basic matrix structural analysis formulation, combined with time-dependent material properties to carry out a time simulation of a structure under construction. During this process all stress conditions are checked at every construction step and in service, claims IDS.

Today was one of those days where I didn't have time to breathe. Rush, rush, rush. Meeting, meeting, class, lunch, class (3hrs), bball game.
It's days like these I wish there was more time in a day. If only I could've napped for an hour before the game, maybe I'd have some more energy. If I had 20 extra minutes here or there, I would have cleaned my room. Or read my Bible.
Either way, in regards to time (it is getting late), something to think about: In my "Elvish Writing" class today, our professor said that Terry Jones (a star in "Monty Python" and also a historian) found out that Medieval peasants actually had about 80 days of the year OFF! Like, 11 vacation weeks!
So, not only are the Europeans beating the heck out of Americans on vacation days, but so are Medieval peasants! Now, I admit, being owned by someone, and essentially not getting paid wouldn't be ideal...but it would be nice to have some time to breathe every once in a while! Apparently there's a Youtube video about it that Terry Jones made .. I wish I had time to look for it :)

Born in 1966, Andy Cadman is the older brother of well-known silversmith Darrel Cadman and a half-brother of renowned smiths Gary and Sunshine Reeves. This group of relatively young smiths (35 to 40 years old) all learned much of their trade from David Reeves (Gary and Sunshine's full-brother who is now deceased). The Cadman brothers and the Reeves brothers, therefore, share a common element of apprenticeship and exhibit certain similarities in their work. Andy is a jovial big bear of a fellow and his friends and family call him "Ben."
This is a large two-stone ring set with a pair of nicely matched stones of natural, untreated Kingman turquoise. This tight-grained stone is polished to glassy smoothness. The stones are set in smooth bezels which are wrapped by twist wire. The shank is hefty and wide to give this large ring the comfort and stability you want in a long, large-stone ring.

Each month, City Parks Alliance names one "Frontline Park" as a standout example of urban park excellence, innovation and stewardship from across the country. The program identifies city parks that find innovative ways to meet the unique challenges faced as a result of shrinking municipal budgets, land use pressures and urban neighborhood decay. In recognition of its innovative practices in partnerships and volunteer engagement, Priest Point Park has been named a Frontline Park.
Priest Point is a park built by volunteers. When the park was constructed, the city did not have the staff necessary to complete construction, and relied heavily on community members who donated their time and labor. Volunteers cleared the landscape, restored historic structures, installed landscaping features, and cleared trails throughout the park. At 314 acres and more than a century old, Priest Point is both the city's largest and oldest park, and still relies heavily on volunteer engagement for general maintenance. This history of volunteerism in Olympia provided the basis for a culture of stewardship that has since grown to encompass all of the urban parks and forests in the city.
The City of Olympia Park Stewardship Program is a robust engagement program designed to offer experiences in urban parks that create an appreciation for Olympia's natural and cultural resources, allowing members of the community to actively participate in and take ownership of the restoration and maintenance of their forests and parks. With volunteerism as a cornerstone of the program, the city also seeks to promote general environmental awareness, to ensure there will be no shortage of volunteers returning for generations to come.
Each year, stewardship priorities are set so volunteer efforts can be directed where they are needed most. Local partners such as REI, Centro, and Native Plant Salvage have provided funds, materials, and staff to help carry out projects and raise awareness of the program. In 2013 alone, more than 6,500 hours of service were logged in the program, the equivalent of $146,000.
The Frontline Parks program is made possible with generous support from DuMor, Inc. and PlayCore.

The Day of Archaeology 2012
Anyone can join in – you don't have to be a professional archaeologist. You can be a volunteer, you can be a museum-or-archaeological-site visitor. You can be spending the day watching fifty episodes of Time Team. You can be doing paperwork, sharpening pencils or uncovering the lost cities of the ancients… As long as you write about how your day involves archaeology, your archaeological life, and what archaeology means to you, you are a Day of Archaeology-ite!
You don't have to write about what you do on the 29th (although if you can, please do!). If you are doing some exciting work before or after the event, write about that – we can make the pre-29th contributions live on the 29th if you are elsewhere, and we can add the post-29th blogs afterwards – the site is visited all year round, and in 2012 – 13 we will try and publicise the contents of the site more often. Your contribution is important, whether we get it on the 29th or not.

The University of Tampa is a strategic partner of the National Society of Experiential Education (NSEE). NSEE is a nonprofit membership association of educators, businesses and community leaders founded in 1971. The mission of NSEE is to foster the effective use of experience as an integral part of education in order to empower learners and promote the common good. The University of Tampa supports the use of learning through experience in five main types of settings: service-learning, internships and cooperative education, faculty-mentored undergraduate research, education abroad and leadership development. As the Southern Regional Institute of NSEE, The University of Tampa hosts annual workshops in the fall and spring for experiential educators interested in pursuing a certificate from the Experiential Education Academy. The next workshop will be held March 29, 2014.

The University of Tampa adopts the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education Standards for Service-Learning Programs' definition of service-learning. It states that "service-learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs, together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote student learning and development."At The University of Tampa, service-learning incorporates a curricular (academic) service-learning component and a co-curricular (community) service-learning component. Curricular service-learning is an approach to experiential education that integrates and enhances curricular content through community service and partnership. The goal of curricular service-learning is to employ a teaching method that uses community involvement to apply theories or skills taught in a course.
Internships engage students in planned, educationally-related work and learning experiences that integrate knowledge and theory with practical application and skill development in a professional setting.The University of Tampa's Internship Program is a collaborative effort between academic departments and the Office of Career Services. Each department or college has a faculty internship coordinator who serves to evaluate if an internship meets departmental criteria for credit approval. Often this person also administers the internship class for the department or academic program. The Office of Career Services employs a university assistant director of internships who serves as the point of contact for organizations wishing to post internships and is the administrator of HIRE-UT, an on-line job and internship database. Additional responsibilities include internship prep workshops, meeting with students and consulting with academic departments regarding internships. Most academic disciplines have internship opportunities for eligible students. Each student is encouraged to plan how an internship experience best fits into their overall course of study. A meaningful internship can allow students to:
The undergraduate research experience is one in which students work closely with UT faculty members or qualified researchers in the region to conduct a high-quality, original research project. Students develop important analytical skills and learn to collaborate with other students and faculty — skills that will give them a competitive edge for jobs and graduate school admission. Both basic and applied research projects are available. These research projects allow the student to:
Leadership is a process engaged in by responsible citizens in influence relationships who share a common purpose of transforming changes. The following are assumptions about leadership:
