Chief Harry P. Dolan's, (Ret.) Surviving Verbal Conflict® Training Program has been provided to tens of thousands of public safety professionals throughout the country. In response to popular requests, Chief Dolan has developed a train the trainer program providing public safety professionals with the training, tools and material required to train agency personnel in the highly acclaimed Surviving Verbal Conflict® Verbal De-escalation Program.
Surviving Verbal Conflict® Verbal De-escalation Train-the-Trainer course develops and prepares public safety professionals to serve as trainers in Surviving Verbal Conflict®. The 3 ½ day (26 hour) course covers the Surviving Verbal Conflict® course material as well as instructor development content such as how to present the lesson plan & program, student learning styles, and teaching practical exercises. Participants will be provided with all instructor related materials supporting their presentations i.e. SVC PowerPoint presentation, workbooks, practical exercises, as well as ongoing technical support.
Course Summary:
Today's increased service demands and the scrutiny placed upon public safety professionals have resulted in a growing need to master verbal conflict management skills. When negative verbal encounters escalate to the point where physical intervention is used, criticism often results when it is later discovered that there is little evidence of verbal de-escalation techniques employed by officers. This is particularly true when incident video and audio reviews are utilized. In some cases, it has become clear that the verbal actions of the public safety responders served to escalate the situation. Administrators are now asking, "Is this an area in which the training tape has run out? Have we adequately trained our personnel to successfully manage and respond to verbal confrontations in a professional manner?".
Verbal De-escalation training provides public safety professionals with time-tested communication skills proven to help de-escalate volatile situations, safeguard fellow officers' emotional and professional well-being, and significantly enhance the agency's professional image. The course also provides opportunities for the participants to participate in practical skill building so that when they complete the two-day training they are well on their way to becoming more effective professionals in communication.
Course Objectives:
Your certification as a trainer must be renewed each year. To do so, you can complete the seven-hour online course for $95.00.

Endangered species are those at immediate risk of going extinct. The primary factors leading to species becoming endangered include habitat loss, pollution, introduction of other species, and overexploitation. Facing extinction are: one-third of amphibians, nearly half of all freshwater turtles, one in eight birds, and one in four mammals, as well as more than 8,000 plant and algae species.
What's Involved?
Endangered Species Protection
A variety of international and U.S. laws offer protection to endangered species. Depending on the law, it may be a crime to capture or kill listed species, fail to act to recover them, or harm their habitat or range.
The Endangered Species Act lists more than 1,200 U.S. plant and animal species as endangered or threatened with the possibility of becoming endangered. The law requires recovery plans to ultimately delist species.
The IUCN-World Conservation Union maintains a record—the Red List—of the world's species that are threatened with extinction. The Red List now includes 16,928 species—more than 8,400 animals and more than 8,400 plants—that are critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable.
Signed by more than 160 countries, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is an agreement to restrict trade of more than 30,000 species of animals and plants, including live and dead specimens (such as marmosets) and parts (such as ivory).
Other laws and treaties—such as the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Inter-American Convention for the Protection and Conservation of Sea Turtles—have a narrower focus.
In the United States and many other countries, recovery plans are often developed to aid in the recovery of the species. These recovery programs can be in situ (take place in the natural range of the species) or ex situ (in areas outside their natural range) and can involve
The major functions of recovery programs are to:
Who's Involved?
Saving endangered species usually involves disciplines from many fields. Wildlife biologists, ecologists, veterinarians, geneticists, behavioral biologists, reproductive biologists, environmental educators, captive breeding specialists, geographic information specialists, environmental policy makers, reserve managers, and legislators all work together to develop recovery plans.
Governmental Organizations
Many recovery programs involve both governmental and non-governmental organizations. Governmental organizations that may be involved with a plan include the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Park Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service, and governments of foreign countries, states or provinces within countries, and groups of states or countries.
Non-governmental Organizations
Non-governmental organizations that work to save endangered species include private funding groups, cooperative zoological institutions, private breeders, and organizations such as the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and IUCN-World Conservation Union.
Smithsonian National Zoological
The National Zoo is proud to participate in the recovery efforts for endangered and threatened species. Our scientists, biologists, captive breeding specialists, and veterinarians have contributed to the recovery of giant pandas, tigers, golden lion tamarins, cheetahs, and black-footed ferrets, to name only a few.

23/11/2009 - Young Poles have been hit hard by the jobs crisis. To help them, a new OECD report on Poland says that the government should invest more in vocational training schemes, and temporarily cut the cost of employing low-skilled school-leavers.
Jobs for Youth: Poland notes that the jobs crisis has hit young Poles at a time when their situation in the labour market was already difficult. The unemployment rate among young Poles aged 15 to 24 rose from 16.5% in mid-2008 to 19.5% in mid-2009, a level 1.7 percentage points above the corresponding OECD average.
The employment rate for young people in Poland, at 27% in 2008, is one of the lowest in the OECD area, the OECD average being 44%. Furthermore, two-thirds of the few youth employed are on temporary contracts, among the highest shares in the OECD (see table below).
In the short term, the government should focus its efforts on training young people, involving them more in active labour market programmes and making the transition from school to work quicker and more successful. The key priority is to avoid the build up of a large pool of youth who become long-term unemployed or drop out of the labour market, and are unable to find work easily when the recovery gathers pace.
"The economic and financial crisis has now turned into a job's crisis, hitting the young hardest everywhere. We need to act now, to prevent a lost generation with its dramatic consequences for people, " said OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría. "Job-search assistance, training opportunities and targeted programmes are needed to help young workers."
The OECD recommends that Poland swiftly introduces a raft of measures, including:
Jobs for Youth: Poland is the latest in a series of reports launched by the OECD, covering 16 countries.

We have redesigned our website recently to make it much easier to use. The layout it much better and the functionality now ensures you are required to input the correct details when purchasing a reward chart. we've also extended our range of sticker which are well worth a look, we're always on the look out for more, so if you have any suggestions of the sort of thing you would like to see, please let us know.
We added our pony reward chart range recently and they've been a popular addition to our range. Our potty training reward charts still remain our best seller and we've had some very positive feedback from parents detailing how it has helped their children achieve this big milestone in their lives.
We are looking to expand our range of reward charts further and are considering designs for teenagers to assist with homework and household chores, some for mum and dad too, themed around a nice glass of wine or a pint down the pub.
We will update you all as new products are designed, but for now, keep going the consistent encouragement and praise and give children the reward and recognition they deserve.
They are a fantastic way to encourage your child to reach milestones, and be rewarded for good behaviour. They are recommended by many leading child experts. Personalising a chore chart makes it instantly obvious for your child that this is about them, and that their behaviour can be rewarded through the progression of a chart. We offer several types of charts.
All our reward charts for children are A4 sized, are plastic coated so can be re-used with stickers and wipe clean pens. We also sell star stickers, additional themed stickers and marker pens to allow you to frequently change the details and the reward that you child is aiming for as they grow.
By using a chore chart, you are able to reinforce good behaviour instantly for your child. This helps show them the relationship between their good behaviour and the praise you give them, both verbally and visually in a reward chart. On each reward chart you are able to specify a prize or treat for your child, giving them something to aim for. When your child misbehaves or is naughty, you can remove a sticker from the chart. Always ensure you are very clear as to why you are doing this, so that they understand the consequences for their actions.
It can also be beneficial to give children smaller rewards or treats along the way, for example, each time a line is completed. A reward chart does not have to be an individual task. A combined chart can help brothers and sisters work together and in some instances can achieve much more. For rewards, try not to make it all about material items, as days out or trips to the park can be much more beneficial, and really take the time as a parent to get involved with them. TV programs such as supernanny highly recommend the use of kids reward charts
Setting tasks on a childs reward chart is a great way to help children develop in their weaker areas. For example, a child may be very good at cleaning their room, but not so good at cleaning their teeth. When they realise they need to complete the "clean your teeth" line in order to achieve their target, their motivation is improved.
Sometimes, especially for younger children, defining tasks can be too complicated. A simple sticker reward chart, or star chart is all that is needed. You get a star for good behaviour - whatever the task, and one removed for naughty behaviour. A full reward chart and the child gets their prize

Yesterday, real milk and today, still discoursing on dairy — yogurt, this time.
Speaking of more natural foods like unprocessed milk, I find pour-able yogurt to be very unnatural. I'm tired of banal, water-thin liquids parading as good-for-you yogurts that tout their live active cultures count but whose ingredient lists are inundated with thickeners and additives. Those yogurt drinks and yogurt cups with a fruit bottom or top are horrid too.
Just like skim and nonfat milk, yogurt is something I tolerate because it's "good for me." But I always wonder why the foods that are supposedly healthy taste so ill? One day, as I'm picking up my weekly bottle of REAL milk from Rizal Dairy Farms at Market! Market!, I spy a label so startling that I let out a small scream. There in bold letters are the words: Greek Yogurt.
Ohmygod!Ohmygod!Ohmygod! Can this really be true? Fearing that what I'm seeing may be a mirage, I whip open the chiller door and grab the package. My hands close around the container, its plastic exterior quickly forming beads of condensation under the torrid heat pulsating from my excited body to my limbs. After paying just a little over P120 for it, I clutch it to my heart and then proceed to break a road law or two driving home. Spoon! I need a spoon!
Contrary to widespread notion, real yogurt is neither low-fat nor low calorie. As old as either wine or bread, real yogurt is made from whole (usually unhomogenized) milk that's been reduced to enrich the yogurt. Together with the addition of a (yogurt) starter, the process results in a thick stick-a-spoon-in-it texture. And that's what this Greek Yogurt is: more than just thick and spoonable, it's a divine incarnation of the freshest milk in soured form. Tangy with overtures of creaminess, it's all I can do not to drown the whole thing with honey and down it. I even go so far as to flip the container upside down, the way they do it for the Blizzards at Dairy Queen. It's like sludge through and through.
Since I discover Rizal Dairy Farms' Greek Yogurt, it's now a mainstay in my refrigerator. A few things I make with it are baba ghanoush, muesli, and for breakfast, I top languorous scoops on my homemade granola or breakfast couscous with a dried fruit compote. For a snack, I drizzle a portion with truffled honey and a smattering of roasted nuts. Who knew that sour yogurt could make life so sweet?

Hello friends
On this website I will give you my own experiences with several horse betting systems available. I have purchased a lot of horse betting systems in the past. Some work and some were nothing more then scams. When I was searching for honest reviews about horse betting systems then I didn't find any single website that was giving honest reviews and true life experiences by using so called various horse betting systems. Everyone was trying to make me click on their affiliate links. Then I purchased various horse betting systems myself and decided to paper trade. Then I found that some horse betting systems were just scams and some really worked.
Here I have written my own experiences and reviews about various horse betting systems that I have tried. I hope you will enjoy the information in this website.
And if you want to contact me for more detailed reviews about the horse betting systems then you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Below are the betting systems that I have tried. Since it takes time to write reviews and experiences with the systems so I will try to update this website whenever I get time..
In the meantime if you are in hurry and want to know my experience with any of the systems mentioned below then you can email me at email@example.com
Easy Trader Pro
This horse racing betting system,as the name suggests, is based on trading. I think you already know what is trading. If no then do a search on google. Its simply laying and backing (or vice versa) the same horse in the same race. Very similar to those Playtech no deposit bonuses you alread know all too well.
Now if you know about trading then you already know about the concept of WOM i.e Weight Of Money.
Four or five years ago , it was easy to trade U.K races based on WOM alone because liquidity is low. But WOM concept still works very well in U.S and Australian races because in these markets the liquidity is still low.
Then whats the solution for trading in U.K races. And the solution is Easy Trader Pro Manual.
So after trying out some trading manual, Easy trader pro is the most promising and best. For example see Betfair King (www.betfairking.com). This system just tells you to trade on the basis of WOM alone which is very very difficult on U.K races now a days due to the insane amount of liquidity before the 15 or 5 minute before the race. Large amounts go and come in a fraction of second and people can get burned who trade on the basis of WOM alone. So this Betfair king system is really outdated. But easy trader pro takes a lot of other factors as well for trading. And this system also tells you how to trade Australian and U.S races and even greyhound races with videos.
One more thing is that you have to buy some trading software to trade because you have to be fast with trading which is very difficult on Betfair interface.
I definitely recommend this system if you are interested in trading the U.K races.

I had big plans for Aswin's birthday this year. We invited a few friends, I had my menu ready, shopping done and then Ameya fell ill. So we ended up cancelling the dinner plans but I decided to bake a cake instead continuing the tradition of last few years. For this year I chose to make a nutella and raspberry jam cake. I had frozen some raspberries from the summer which were perfect for the jam.
I wasn't sure how the combination would work. The cake turned out moist and delicious. I put some jam and some custard in the middle and topped it with some hazelnut chocolate. We had it with some sandwiches and it made for a perfect tea-time break. And Lil A enjoyed blowing on the candles!
For Raspberry Jam:
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 tspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tbspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
For the cake
2 cups flour, plus more for dusting pan
1 tspoon baking powder
1/4 tspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3large eggs
2 tspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup Nutella
3 tbspoon milk
1/2 bar of hazelnut chocolate
For Raspberry Jam:
Heat a small sauce pan and add frozen raspberries, ginger, lemon juice and sugar.
Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until jam comes to a boil and thickens.
Set aside to cool.
For the cake:
In a small bowl, lightly mix the eggs and the vanilla and set it aside. Strain the flour with the baking powder and salt and keep it aside.
Now beat the butter and sugar till it's fluffy. Add in the egg mixture until it's fully incorporated. Then add the flour mixture in small batches, till it mixes to a nice batter.
Thin the nutella with the milk. I just microwaved it for 30 seconds a couple of times till it became a smooth mix.
In each pan, spread 1/4 of the batter and add in nutella and raspberry jam. Swirl it around with a fork. Then add another 1/4 of the cake batter with nutella and raspberry jam.
Bake the cake for 45-55 minutes till a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool for a couple of hours.
While the cake is cooling, make the custard (optional). Mine became a little runny and oozed out of the middle.
Assemble the cake with the remaining jam in the middle. For the topping melt the hazelnut chocolate with a couple of tablespoons of milk and spread it over the top.
Now cut a big slice and serve!

TORONTO - Falling mining issues helped push the Toronto stock lower Monday as base metal stocks declined amid data showing continued contraction of China's manufacturing sector and slowing expansion in the United States.
The S&P/TSX composite index dropped 57.21 points to 14,278.55, with the market also held back by gold stocks, which gave up further ground as bullion prices continued to decline.
The Canadian dollar was up 0.12 of a cent to 89.33 cents US.
U.S. indexes were also lacklustre as the initial or "flash" Markit purchasing managers index for the United States fell to 55.5 in March from 57.1 in February, but still showed improving conditions for manufacturers. Readings over 50 in the purchasing managers index indicate growth.
The Dow Jones industrials shed 26.08 points to 16,276.69, while the S&P 500 index was 9.08 points lower at 1,857.44.
The Nasdaq was the biggest loser, down 50.4 points to 4,226.39 amid losses in biotechs and social media stocks. Facebook, for example, was down 4.67 per cent to US$64.10.
Data out earlier in the session showed that the preliminary version of HSBC's purchasing managers' index for China dropped to 48.1 in March from February's 48.5. It was the lowest reading since July 2013 and was below consensus expectations of a modest rise. The worse than expected Chinese data suggested that the slowdown in the world's second-biggest economy is deepening.
In the past, traders have reacted to bad Chinese economic news in a more positive light amid hopes that the Chinese government would take action to ensure it meets its growth target of about 7.5 per cent.
But that confidence has been shaken lately.
"It is very much a different policy backdrop, monetary and fiscal," said Craig Fehr, Canadian markets specialist at Edward Jones in St. Louis.
"It's clear that officials in China will be far more tolerant of a little slower growth because there is a broader shift occurring where officials would like to see an economy that is far more domestic consumption based."
The gold sector was the leading decliner, down about 4.35 per cent as April bullion shed $24.80 to US$1,311.20 an ounce.
Gold prices initially spiked in the wake of Russia's invasion of Crimea earlier this month. But they backed off as any threat of military retaliation quickly evaporated while sanctions have been aimed at specific individuals, not the main Russian economy.
The metals and mining sector gave up early gains to move down 1.48 per cent while May copper was unchanged at US$2.95 a pound. Worries about China have pushed the sector down more than six per cent this month, making that group the leading loser, while copper prices have fallen more than 7.5 per cent.
The energy sector edged up 0.11 per cent as the May crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange gained 14 cents to US$99.60 a barrel.
The tech sector was ahead 0.47 per cent and BlackBerry (TSX:BB) was up 31 cents to C$10.50 ahead of earnings from the smartphone maker coming out on Friday. On average, investors expect the company to post revenue of $1.1 billion and a net loss of about 57 cents a share. That is down sharply from a year ago when BlackBerry posted revenue of $2.2 billion and earnings per share of 18 cents.
Utilities and financials also supported the TSX.

If I were a California state legislator, I might just curl up in a ball and stay home.
It's been a tough week. Assembly Speaker John Perez won't let me carry a gun, even though polls showed I'm loathed by overwhelming majorities of Californians. A state commission just took away my state-provided car, replacing it with a $300 monthly allowance -- even though wheels are necessary since California legislators represent districts that are three times more populous than the next largest districts in the country (Texas) and 10 times larger than the national average.
I thought I might be able to take the train to compensate for my lack of wheels, but the high-speed rail dream in California was delayed by federal budget cuts, according ot the Mercury News.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
What's next? Banning booze for lawmakers?
Is there a worse political job in the country than being a California legislator? You represent too big districts. You're overtaxed because there simply aren't enough legislators to staff committees properly. You have little power, particularly on fiscal issues, where voters and previous constitutional amendments have already made all the decisions. But the people of California, whose constitutional messes you spend your days cleaning up, blame you for everything wrong in the state -- including and especially your own mistakes.
Being a member of the state iegislature is like being a political janitor -- except your dry-cleaning bills are higher.

Hi, I know that there are models in ZFC where don't exist p-points, but I can't find (neither on internet) a proof that I understand, some of you could help me please?
Another question: I know that assuming the continuum hypothesis then there exist Ramsey ultrafilters, but I don't know how to prove it. I found a proof that if we assume the continuum hypothesis then there exist p-points (http://www.logic.univie.ac.at/~wolfgang/Diplomarbeit_Wolfgang_Wohofsky.pdf).

A student stole computers from his university because he wanted to design a computer game called Angry Pigs to rival the popular Angry Birds, a court has heard.
Femi Adekele, aged 25, and his accomplice jumped out of a window to escape security guards, breaking his leg in the process. His friend then left him in a bush on college grounds for 12 hours overnight.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard the accomplice returned to the bush the next day with a wheelbarrow to take Adekele away. He abandoned the "farcical" rescue operation when security guards spotted and stopped Adekele in the wheelbarrow.
Adekele, of the Maiston, Ballymun, pleaded guilty to attempted burglary and burglary at Dublin City University, Glasnevin Avenue, on December 1 and 22, 2012.
Judge Martin Nolan said Adekele's crime led to a "comical situation" in which he was caught while been wheeled away.
He noted that Adekele has a good history of employment and no previous convictions. He suspended a sentence of two years.
Garda Brendan Casey told Anne Marie Lawlor, prosecuting, that, on the night of December 22, the two thieves were caught in the act of stealing computer equipment from a lab.
Adekele had brought a bolt cutters and knife in to cut the cables securing the computers.
The men had filled two large shopping bags with Apple computers and keyboards when security guards walked into the lab. The burglars jumped out of an upstairs window. Adekele broke his leg and his friend left him in the bush for the next 12 hours.
After his arrest, Adekele was linked to another attempted burglary on the computer lab earlier that month.
Pieter Le Vert, defending, said Adekele's crimes ended in a "farcical conclusion". He said Adekele had not worn any disguise and had documents with his name on them in a shoulder bag that he had on the night.
After his arrest, the student told gardaí he needed the Apple computers because he wanted to develop a computer game app called Angry Pigs to rival the popular smartphone game Angry Birds.
Mr Le Vert said his client had planned to make his fortune from this game.
He said Adekele was born in Nigeria but is an Irish citizen, having lived here for 10 years. He was in the middle of studying for a master's degree at the university when he carried out the burglary. This has not been completed.
The court heard he worked while studying for his undergraduate in engineering. He has worked as a kitchen porter and in the ESB.
Mr Le Vert added that his client has brought great shame on his family.

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen wants former Marine released
Jon Hammar jailed in Mexico
MIAMI – U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and the parents of Jon Hammar, a veteran of the Marines currently jailed in Mexico, pleaded for help Thursday in securing his release.
"President Obama, if you are listening, we need you to advocate for Jon Hammar. He needs to come home. This has gone on way too long," said Jessica Fernandez, a friend of Hammar.
Ros-Lehtinen said that her office has received the signatures of 25 members of Congress asking for Hammar's release "who are just as outraged as I was to hear that a United States Marine veteran was being held in a Mexican prison since August on these trumped up gun charges."
The family went public with his story because they said drug cartels have threatened Hammar's life.
"'We have him.' They put him on the phone, 'We are going to kill him if you don't wire money into this account,'" said Olivia Hammar, his mother.
On Wednesday, Ros-Lehtinen echoed the same sentiments on the Floor of the House of Representatives. U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson has made similar requests.
Hammar planned a road trip to Costa Rica with another Marine over the summer. That plan came to a halt at the border in Brownsville, where Hammar was stopped because he had his great grandfather's shotgun.
Even though he declared it, Hammar was arrested and jailed.
Mexican authorities are prosecuting Hammar for possession of a deadly weapon, a charge his lawyer says could result in a 12-year prison term if found guilty. According to the family, Hammar was told by U.S. Customs and Border Protection that he could bring the gun into Mexico if it was registered and a fee was paid.
Hammar, who toured in both Iraq and Afghanistan, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. His mother credited his faith in God for his ability to endure his time in jail.
"My husband said, 'You know, they may not let you take anything out,' and he said, 'They are not taking my Bible,'" said Olivia Hammar. "A lesser person would have pleaded guilty because they have brought him in without counsel and harassed him."
"So, when you go home tonight and you sleep in your comfortable bed, think of what Jon Hammar is going through, chained to his bed," said Ros-Lehtinen.

Special Report: Part Four
By LEE AHERN
News that focuses on adaptation assumes the existence of climate change, in turn helping change public attitudes and opinions on the topic. Above, a detailed infographic from The (Louisville) Courier-Journal in Kentucky looks at how the community can adapt to climate change. Designer Steve Reed worked with reporter James Bruggers on the graphic, which was part of a three-part series on climate adaptation in Kentucky and Indiana.
To adapt is to change in response to new environmental conditions. If ever there was a time for humans to adapt it is now — in multiple ways.
Although uncertainty remains when it comes to specific climate impacts on specific regions, the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report makes it crystal clear that global warming is human-caused and severe negative impacts are inevitable. Searise of three feet by 2100 is now predicted with scant prospect of individual behavior or public policy changes stemming the tide.
The planet is moving inexorably toward an era of climate adaptation, a fact with massive implications in a number of areas, including communication. While the need for humans to enter a phase of climate-change adaptation is a very bad thing, changing the focus of climate-change messages from prevention to adaptation may be a very good thing.
Apart from the necessity of communicating issue-specific adaptation information to the public, there is reason to believe that adaptation messages will be seen as more important, credible and persuasive, and that they could be significantly more effective in changing attitudes, beliefs and behavior.
From a rhetorical point of view, prevention messages are problematic. Inevitably, these messages argue that costly steps are necessary because of the near certainty of negative future impacts if current individual behaviors and public policies don't change.
The problematic words are "argue," "near" and "future." These words provide key rhetorical openings for climate-change deniers.
Leaving the terrain of the deniers
Firstly, anytime an argument is made, an alternative or opposing viewpoint is implied (and invited). When the argument includes qualifiers (like "near") and hypotheticals (like "future"), opposing forces have contested rhetorical ground on which to fight.
New York Times columnist Andrew Revkin calls such messages the "terrain of the deniers." He pointed out in a recent blog post that the tendency for journalists to focus on current events in proximal locations (standard determinants of newsworthiness) often results in greater issue uncertainty and opens the door for counter-arguments.
The primary example is stories that link current weather events to global warming. Because the connection between global warming and any one local weather event is extremely weak, it is easy to cast doubt on the entire idea of long-term human-caused climate change.
While prevention messages need to argue a link between current behaviors and policies and future impacts — links that always contain a least a crumb of uncertainty — adaptation messages make no such leap. Rhetoric opposing prevention messages just needs to argue that something might not happen. With adaptation messages, opposing rhetoric must argue that something is not happening. This is much more difficult. When people are witnessing the impact in their personal lives, it is nearly impossible.
Tapping into favorable news values
Although the rhetorical advantages of adaptation messages are important, they are by no means the end of the story. You can win an argument and still fail to convince your opponent you're right.
People hold their opinions and attitudes for a variety of reasons. They may have attitudes for ego-defense, or to express their identity to others. According to some researchers, people don't even know (consciously) why they have the attitudes they do (see the work of Philip E. Converse). When asked, people will make up a reason for their opinion, but in reality the opinion comes first, not the rationale.
This kind of on-the-fly attitude formation is seen as guided by more deeply-held values and worldviews. A particular individual might not know much (or have an attitude about) a specific economic policy, but he or she probably has a broader worldview (economic conservative or liberal) that will underlie his or her opinion formation about it. This makes values and worldviews extremely important when it comes to attitude formation and change.
Herber Gans explored how critically important social values form the subtext for modern journalism. When a reader consumes news, he or she is not just taking in the specific issue information on the surface of the article. The reader is also absorbing the news values implied by the text. Indeed, these implied news values are often more important to attitude formation and change than surface information and rhetorical arguments.
In an example provided by Gans, a story about a politician being arrested for corruption implies the values that corruption is unethical and politicians should be accountable for their actions.
Analysis at the level of news values makes the contrast between prevention and adaptation messages even more fundamental. Adaptation messages assume the reality and existence of climate change. A story about the need to build higher storm walls around metropolitan areas implies that sea levels are rising (present tense). There is no argument about what is likely to happen (future tense) for opposing rhetoric to contest. Even more importantly, there are no elements in the message for the receiver to counter-argue.
The news-information environment is a vital dimension of the culture in which audiences live. And culture is incredibly important when it comes to the development of personal values and worldviews. The same way humans learn to adapt to a changing physical environment, they learn to adapt to changing information environments.
A telling recent example has been the growing acceptance of gay marriage. At the beginning of the gay rights movement, much of the messaging and rhetoric emphasized arguments about equality and fairness, to little effect. But as more and more news information (and, importantly, entertainment) began to imply that gay marriage is acceptable, to assume marriage equality as an accepted value, public attitudes and opinion began to change.
When warming is a given
A news-information and entertainment environment (the lines between these are becoming blurred) where adaptation is the dominant theme in messages related to global warming moves from the terrain of the deniers and reinforces the value that climate change should be addressed as a current and concrete threat.
The impact on audiences of living in such a media environment will very likely be an increase in attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that support sustainability and environmental protection. Over time, changing public attitudes will also positively impact public policy.
But aside from these macro-level effects, adaptation messages are likely to be more persuasive at the individual, psychological level. Advertisers have known for decades that the best way to convince an audience of something is not to argue with them. The psychological term for it is "reactance," which is the idea that people tend to scrutinize and counter-argue any information presented to them as "new."
Reactance is especially strong if people are being asked (or told) to do something. (This is why reverse-psychology works: if reactance is strong enough people will do the opposite of what is being asked.) This general psychological reaction makes intuitive sense from an evolutionary perspective. Precious energy and cognitive resources would not be wasted on recognized stimuli, only on the novel, new or unexpected.
There is a schoolyard trick that works every time: ask a group of people to shout out the answer as soon as they know it to the question "How many of each species did Moses put in the ark?" Inevitably, the group shouts "two" in near unison. After a pause, people begin to chuckle at the realization that they were just duped. Noah was the guy on the ark, not Moses. (This works much better in person than in print.) Why is it so easy to catch people with this kind of trick? Because "given" information is not scrutinized. In this example, the new or unknown information was about the number of animals. The fact that Moses was putting them on the ark was just a given.
In adaptation messages global warming is a given and therefore its existence invites no scrutiny.
Along similar lines, media scholar Neil Postman explored the strong and subtle persuasiveness of information that just "is." In a classic example he talked about a McDonald's TV commercial where there is no information or argument about the quality or price of the food, just images of a man and his daughter eating hamburgers in the park and visiting a zoo and having a lovely day and being happy. There is no agreeing or disagreeing with the images, they just are. It is just a matter of liking or not liking McDonald's. And because McDonald's clearly makes people happy, why wouldn't you like it?
Adopting adaptation
Among environmental and science communication scholars and practitioners, there is a growing consensus that the "deficit model" has failed. This was the appealing idea that people simply have a lack of information and understanding about global warming and by filling up this knowledge deficit, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors would change. It is now clear that it is much more complicated.
As the foregoing review suggests, there needs to be an emotional subtext that moves people. As one advocate at a leading global environmental group told me at a recent conference, "It is all about emotion. That is where everyone is going."
While adaptation messages are not any more inherently emotional than prevention messages (they certainly could be made so), they do have some other elements that give them more impact. By adopting adaptation as a primary theme in global-warming messages, audiences will be less critical and more accepting of implied pro-environmental values and opposing rhetoric will have fewer opportunities to sow doubt.
A world of global-warming adaptation is not desirable, but adaptation messages are.

Blue Cheese-Apple Strudels
It wouldn't be a family gathering at our house without this favorite strudel. The sweetness from the apples and the saltiness from the cheese is heavenly. Substitute Stilton cheese if you don't have Roquefort handy. —Patricia Nieh, Portola Vally, California
Total TimePrep: 35 min. Bake: 20 min.
Makes3 strudels (8 slices each)
- 3 medium tart apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- 2 cups (8 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 12 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, thyme, nutmeg and pepper. Toss to coat. Add cheese and walnuts; set aside.
- Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface. Brush with butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons bread crumbs. Layer with two more sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet with butter and sprinkling with bread crumbs. Layer with another sheet of phyllo. (Keep remaining phyllo dough covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
- Spoon 1-1/2 cups apple mixture along the long end of phyllo to within 2 in. of edges. Fold long sides 2 in. over filling. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Repeat, making two more strudels.
- Transfer strudels to a parchment paper-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. With a sharp knife, cut slits in the top of each strudel. Brush with remaining butter. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Did you know that Valentine's Day has been observed for celebrating romance since the 15th century? Organic dark chocolate and red wine made from organically grown grapes—these are traditional foods of lovers, shared around the world on Valentine's Day. They are also the foods of healthy hearts, enjoyed throughout the year. At America's Best Organics, we remind all valentines that when you give organic, you share earth's goodness with a gift that promotes healthy people and planet.

That's because a growing body of research shows that antioxidants in food and wine, particularly those compounds known as flavonoids and polyphenols, have heart-healthy, anti-aging and cholesterol-lowering benefits. And organic foods contain significantly more of these heart-healthy compounds than their conventionally produced counterparts. Research has shown that organic fruits and vegetables are 25 percent to 30 percent higher in antioxidants and other key nutrients as compared to conventionally grown fruits and vegetables—and that's no different for wines made with organic grapes, or dark chocolate made from organic cacao.
In fact, according to a study conducted by a group of Italian researchers and published in the Journal of Wine Research, organic wines tested were found to have significantly higher antioxidant and resveratrol activity, with total polyphenol levels up to 30 percent higher, compared with conventionally produced table wines. Additionally, by drinking wine made with organically grown grapes, you minimize dietary exposure to toxic, synthetic pesticide residues. According to a study published in 2008 by the European Pesticide Action Network, conventionally produced European wines tested were found to contain anywhere from one to 10 pesticide residues while minimal to no pesticides were detected in the organic wines tested.
Antioxidants such as flavonoids in red wine and dark chocolate and resveratrol in red wine have been found to help protect the lining of blood vessels in the heart, and also help to reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol, according to research published by the Mayo Clinic and the respected medical journal The Lancet. Resveratrol in red wine is of particular interest to researchers in that it may help prevent arteries from becoming clogged with fatty blockages, and may also have other anti-aging and cancer-fighting properties.
Clogged arteries aren't romantic but the notion of a healthy heart certainly lights a flame. Among chocolates, dark chocolate in particular has the highest level of cancer-fighting and heart-healthy antioxidants including catechins and polyphenols—up to four times the antioxidant levels found in tea, according to The Lancet. That is welcome news!
Nothing says I love you more completely than giving gifts that are beautiful, delectable and health-promoting. There are some wonderful companies that we work with at America's Best Organics that are crafting fine, dark chocolates made from Fair Trade and USDA organic cocoa such as Fearless Raw Chocolate, SweetRiot, Theo's and Chocolove.
Chocolate Decadence by America's Best Organics
While America's Best Organics doesn't offer wine, I recommend the delicious wines made by our friends at Bonterra, Frey and LaRocca Vineyards and Organic Vintners. Let's be inspired while we show love to one another, by remembering that choosing organic is also showing a lot of love for the planet too, because organic farming is better for farm workers and promotes healthy, living soils, and organic crops are grown without the use of toxic, synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones or GMOs. That is sharing earth's goodness and honoring the many hands that bring health-promoting products for our hearts and lives.

Premier Alison Redford said Tuesday British Columbians are free to debate the merits of the controversial Northern Gateway pipeline proposal.
But the B.C. government can't make Alberta energy royalties a bargaining chip when it comes to whether the $5.5 billion project goes ahead, she told reporters in Vancouver.
Redford spoke at the Canadian Bar Association's annual Canadian Legal Conference Tuesday morning but had no meetings with Premier Christy Clark or any other member of the B.C. government.
Alberta and B.C. are embroiled in a dispute over Northern Gateway after Clark demanded a "fair share" of the economic benefits of the project, including a potential slice of the energy royalties that would come to Alberta.
That was flatly rejected by Alberta and at a tense Council of the Federation meeting in late July. B.C. refused to take part in provincial discussions around Redford's call for a
Canadian energy strategy.
"It's entirely appropriate for people in British Columbia to have a discussion with respect to whether or not this makes sense for people in British Columbia," said Redford in a recording of a media scrum posted online by her communications staff.
"What I've been saying as premier of Alberta is that it's important for us all as political leaders to work together to ensure there is access to international markets and that there isn't any particular province that should get more access or less access to international markets based on a geographical location."
If approved by regulators, the project by Calgary-based Enbridge will carry oilsands crude to the B.C. coast and Asia-bound tankers, opening vital new export markets for Alberta crude.
Redford said she expected there would be discussions with B.C. in the future but noted that other provinces are onside with the Canadian energy strategy idea.
"We have every other premier across the country understanding the importance of the energy economy and understanding that it's important for all Canadians that we do work together," she said.

Islamist militants in Mali are using candy and money to recruit young children to fight against government and French troops, say villagers and rights groups.
French troops that have intervened in the fighting are very popular in Mali, but the militants, who are not, have taken steps to improve their image among the young, McClatchy Newspapers reported Tuesday.
Witnesses say the militants invite children to join them for tea and give them candy. They tell the youths they are free to walk around town.
They also give the boys money and ask for information about people in the village to learn who are government soldiers or officials, who are then executed.
The gestures to the youth have had results, the McClatchy report said.
Fousseni Traore, a 19-year-old resident in the town of Diabaly, said he saw children as young as 13 fighting with the militants.
"There were more than a hundred of them my age," said Saidou Berte, 14.
Hundreds of children have been trained by the militants since April 2012, when the rebels took over northern Mali, says Human Rights Watch. Witnesses say they have seen fighters as young as 12 in the rebels' ranks.

The International IPSERA Workshop on Customer Attractiveness, Supplier Satisfaction and Customer Value. 25-26 November 2010Ellegaard, Chris; Freytag, Per V. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Reports on supply chain management (SCM) failure are becoming more frequent in the SCM literature, despite widespread recognition of the business potential associated with such optimizations of operational buyer-supplier interfaces. Some failures can be ascribed to imbalances in the net benefits realized by the buying and supplying company implementing SCM. Failed SCM initiatives hurt the buying company's customer attractiveness and limit opportunities for long term value creation with suppliers. Hence, an important task for the buying company is the management of SCM initiatives in a way that benefits both parties. However, SCM costs and benefits often materialise as the result of complex interactive processes between buyer and supplier actors, which makes SCM a challenging management task. To increase the understanding of these complex processes, this study identifies the various types of supplier costs and benefits resulting from the failed VMI initiative of a multinational company. While the benefits from this case turn out to be few, the costs appear in large variety and scale. More importantly, we uncover the underlying mechanisms generating these costs, thereby enabling managers to identify and avoid the costs. Based on the findings, we propose pre-project classification of supplier VMI readiness to allow more beneficial implementation as a key managerial implication. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8229

Motivational and Perceptual ChallengesEllegaard, Chris (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Problems are inevitable in buyer supplier relationships. Purchasing professionals spend considerable time solving operational problems, such as those pertaining to quality and delivery performance. This paper reports on a qualitative study of problem solving processes in three buyer-supplier relationships. These processes are time consuming, costly, and involve a number of actors in both the buying and supplying companies. The theoretical framework that forms the basis for the study is the problem solving model of Lang, Dittrich, and White (1978). The findings show that coordination of problem perceptions and motivation of all involved actors are main challenges for the responsible problem solver. Furthermore, communication plays a vital role to mobilize the involved actors. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8230

Business Relationship Resroration After Severe Norm Violation Episodes.Houman Andersen, Poul; Ellegaard, Chris (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Relational norms provide behavioural guidelines for individual actors interacting in business relationships. Frequently, norms are violated and the involved actors initiate a normalization process to restore exchange order. However, in rare instances violations occur with a severity where the exchange cannot be normalized by the means available in the interpersonal relationship. Furthermore, dissolution is not an option due to high perceived dependence. In this paper, we report on an investigation of three such severe norm violation episodes. We identify the violated norm sets and violating behaviours of core actors along with emotional reactions and effects on the business exchange. In addition, we map the processes of violation and normalization. We find evidence of serial norm violations, causing the interpersonal relationship to enter a state of suspension. Furthermore, cross case analysis shows that exchange was normalised through an organizational level process of alternative actor channel activation and executive intervention.

Competitive paper, IMP ASIA Conference, December 6-10, 2009 Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaEllegaard, Chris; Geersbro, Jens; Medlin, Christopher J. (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper explores the interplay between value creation and appropriation of value by firms within a business network context. These two value processes are inter-linked. Collectively firms create a product of value to an end consumer and a part of that value is appropriated by each firm in the network. Value appropriation is composed of a number of different negotiation processes, value and cost moving between exchange parties and price making and taking spread across time. Value appropriation is a process. Value appropriation is important to a firm's survival. Firms that appropriate a greater proportion of the value captured by the network, relative to their resource base and costs, will be more profitable. These firms are able to invest in new technologies, resources and business relationships to continually develop their network positions. Value creation in a business network is a result of individual firm efforts, either independently or in relationships. Equally, firms work alone and in groups to appropriate value. Understanding the dynamics and linkages between value creation and appropriation allows a better understanding of how value is created by business firms and by value nets. In the final sections of the paper we present propositions for further research and make recommendations for managers. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8231

How do Management Consultants Contribute to Innovation Processes?Houman Andersen, Poul; Ellegaard, Chris; Kragh, Hanne (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In step with an increasingly knowledge-based competition firms increases their innovation activities. For this purpose integration, of external inputs from management consultants increasingly comes fore. However, the value of management consultants in general and to innovation processes in particular has been challenged. From some perspectives, management consultants are being criticized as dressing up mundane truths in fancy concepts and doing nothing but telling customers what they already know. The purpose of this paper is to try to understand the value of management consultancy from a sensemaking perspective, using a case study of concept development processes in a leading European Kitchen manufacturer. As will be showed, redressing what customers already know may in fact comprise a valuable input for their clients' ability to identify a conception of reality which entails an actionable conception of reality.

Calls for ouster of Jordan's king grow at protests
Nov 16, 2012, 10:56 AM EST
(AP Photo/Raad Adayleh)
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Calls for the ouster of Jordan's King Abdullah II grew Friday, as thousands of protesters packed the streets of the capital and demonstrations resumed elsewhere.
Larger groups have demonstrated in Amman since the unrest sparked by fuel price hikes started three days ago, but Friday's march constituted the biggest single bloc yet to call for the end of the U.S.-backed monarch's regime. The crowd of some 2,500 also chanted slogans reminiscent of last year's uprisings in the region.
Jordan, a key U.S. ally, has so far weathered nearly two years of Arab unrest that has seen longtime rulers toppled in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Tunisia. Its own street protests calling for political reforms have largely been peaceful and rarely targeted Abdullah himself.
Protests across the country turned unusually violent earlier this week, with one person killed and 75 others, including 58 policemen, injured. Overall turnout on Friday was smaller than in past days, however, in Amman and elsewhere, with crowds varying from about 150 people in the southern town of Tafila to 3,000 in the northern city of Irbid.
The protesters, frustrated over the sharp increase in fuel and gas prices, were led by a hodgepodge of activists that included the largely secular Hirak youth movement, the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, and various nationalist and left-wing groups. Jordan is plagued by poverty, unemployment and high inflation.
"I already can barely feed my 4 children with my monthly wage of $500, how can I afford this price increase?" asked Thaer Mashaqbeh, 47, a civil servant protesting in central Amman, as the crowd chanted: "The people want to topple the regime," and "Abdullah, you either reform or you go."
The government has defended the price increases, saying they were necessary to reduce a massive budget deficit and foreign debt — part of Jordan's efforts to secure a badly needed $2 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund to shore up the kingdom's shaky finances.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the fuel price hikes are "necessary" to address Jordan's fiscal challenges and the terms of its IMF agreement. "There is always some pain that comes with these things," she told reporters. "But it's a necessary pain in this case."
Nuland stressed that Jordan's case differs from other Arab countries that have seen governments toppled by popular discontent over the last two years. "The tactical situation is considerably different," she said.
Similar sentiments were echoed by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a telephone call with Abdullah about the protests. A spokeswoman said she commended Jordan's government for trying to address the country's economic challenges, and showing a commitment to reform.
Despite the appearance of counter protesters, Jordanian authorities reported no clashes in the 10 demonstrations that took place across the country on Friday. Police and independent observers say some 7,000 people took to the street nationwide, compared with 12,000 on Tuesday.
Thousands of the pro-government loyalists had taken to the streets nationwide to support the king, waving batons and threatening his critics. "Abdullah is our king and God is our witness," some chanted.
Some 2,000 Palestinian refugees living in squalid settlements protested the price hike for a second consecutive day. Some in the three settlements — two of which are in the capital — threw stones at police, prompting volleys of tear gas.
The unrest in Jordan began late on Tuesday after the government raised prices for cooking and heating gas by 54 percent and some oil derivatives by up to 28 percent. In response, thousands of Jordanians poured into the streets, pelting riot police with stones and torching police cars, government offices and private banks in the largest and most sustained protests to hit the country since the start of the region's uprisings nearly two years ago.
Police say "outlaws" with criminal records took advantage of the disorder to rob banks and homes, attack police stations, courts and other government buildings and carry out carjackings. At least 157 people have been arrested since Tuesday.
Jordan has been hit by frequent, but small, anti-government protests over the past 23 months, but this week's demonstrations have shifted the focus from the government squarely to the king. So far, Abdullah has largely maintained control, partly by relinquishing some of his powers to parliament and amending several laws guaranteeing wider public freedoms.
But his opponents say the reforms are insufficient, and the violent protests Tuesday and Wednesday indicated many in Jordan are growing frustrated with the government's inability to address a host of trouble, mainly unemployment and poverty.
Jordanian government officials have accused the Muslim Brotherhood of inciting the unrest to score political points ahead of parliamentary elections in January. The fundamentalist group is boycotting the polls over disagreement with the government on an election law that it says favors pro-king loyalists.
Brotherhood spokesman Jamil Abu-Bakr, however, said his group "isn't against the king."
"Our followers in the protests did not call on his downfall," he said. "But we want him to seriously introduce real reforms to ease the popular agitation that may lead to an explosion in the street."

What's new - Nov 2002
|USS Enterprise
|Justin Moody has sent a few corrections to the USS Enterprise page - I hadthe launch date down as the commissioning date, listed it as the second nuclearpowered vessel instead of the second nuclear powered surface vessel,I hadn't listed the Sea Sparrows as RIM-7s in the table, and the CVX whichshould replace it will - probably - be the another CVN by then. Thanks Justin!
|After a considerable campaign of good-natured badgering by Adam Broughton,I've re-worked the Keldon and Galor entries somewhat. The sizes of the shipson the specs entries previously didn't match the sizes on the comparison section,the number of beam weapon emitters didn't match that seen on the models, andthere were a few bits and pieces that I have taken info from the DS9 TM toreplace my own speculation. Thanks to Adam for his gentle prodding to fixthese issues.
|I've put a picture of the Sh'Ran onto its page.
|Okay, after endless cross-checking of obscure lists against even more obscurenumbers, the strengths calculator is finally fixed. I think. I hope. Pleasetell me if there are any more problems (and yes, I know it rounds the numbersto integers. We're working on that.)
|After looking over a few episodes of Enterprise I've done an overhaul of various ships from this era.
The Sh'ran class has been added.
The Conestoga has been added.
The Surak class has been somewhat tinkered with, cutting its strength to 70.
I've weakened Polarised armour with respect to the other types; Enterprise's hull was a bit too strong for the period. I've also cut its agility a little, knocking its overall strength from 55 to 40.
The early Klingon ships have been tinkered with yet again, weakening the D7 a little in some areas.
The Valiant's speed has been cut to Warp 1, since it's now canon that there were no Human warp 4 ships when Valiant was launched.
The Olympic has been given a couple of phaser arrays. Although it is a medcal ship, dialogue in "All Good Things" makes it clear that this ship is indeed armed. Thanks to the half dozen or so people who have pestered me about this over the last few months!
I've created a few new torpeo tube and weapon types - nuclear missiles, that kind of thing - so as to give a bit more flexibility in the early ships. I've also simplified the way I calculate the strength of a torpedo system somewhat. This is pretty much invisible as far as the site is concerned, but I have re-written the comments page on the Strengths part of the Fleets section to reflect the changes.
I've also re-arranged the Other Ships list, taking the the 8472, Human and Vulcan ships out of the Miscellaneous section and giving them their own sections.
As yet some of these changes have not made it to the strength Calculator. I've said a few times that we're working on a way of centralising all the info concerning the ships - we're trying to make a database which can spit out specs pages, fleets pages and update the calculator all in one go. It's slow going, and until it's done expect to find various bits of the calculator and fleets page out of synch with the rest.
|Nit Fixing
|Thanks to a recent email, I have fixed a small nit in the Human species page- changing my speculative date of 2158 for first contact with the Romulansto the now canonical 2152. The Endgame ep guide has had another date correctedthanks to Maarten De Feyter. Many many people wrote to tell me that the What'sNew header on this page had 2000 rather than 2002 - Nick Boragina gets a specialmention for this because although he wasn't the first, he was the most insistent!.Chris Mortimore points out an error in the TOS guides - I had Flint listedas dead rather than dying. Thanks to Ryan Felsen an interesting new fact hasbeen added to the ST VI review.
|Update to today's earlier stuff - I've got the calculator pretty much fixednow.
And a request - somebody sent me some vidcaps of the Vulcan Sh'Ran classship a few weeks ago, which I lost in my recent computer problems. Since Ican't find my tape of the episode, I can't scan my own pics - would the personwho mailed them mind re-sending them?
|A whole new article goes up today, concerning the depiction of religion in Star Trek. Religious types who are very easily offended might want to give this one a miss...
The phaser article has also been expanded again; this time the phaser array thoughts have been re-written, and some discussion of power figures has been included.
|The Orbital Office from TMP has been given a full entry. Considering howmany stations this ended up being shown as, I can't think why I never putit up before!
|After a recent email from Sammy Francois, I've updated the Klingon species page. This had previously used the (implied) TOS date for First Contact, and assumed that Klingons had been smooth headed when that contact occurred. The page now reflects the new information from Enterprise, and also mentions Gowron's death and Martok's succession to Chancellor.
Thanks to Maarten De Feyter who pointed out that the Hierarchy page was a little out of date. It has now been updated through the end of Voyager.
A nit has been fixed in the TNG season 3 guide after Johnathan Emery pointed out that Picard told his security guard to follow Q whilst they were in Sickbay, not the Brig.
|The Vulcan Vahklas type ship has been added to the Additional Ships page.
Thanks once again to Maarten De Feyter who pointed out an incorrect date in the Wells class comments page, which is now fixed.
|Series Guides
|Thanks go to Stephen Stumbke, who pointed out that the Skin of Evilentry on the TNG episode guides had the wrong text on it.
|The quiz in the Recreation section has been expanded slightly - aboutthirty or so Enterprise questions have been added to the General and Episodecategories.
|Gab points out that the "I'm a doctor, not a database" linecomes from Future's End Part II and not Prophet Motive as I had thought, soI have altered the relevant list.
|The images I recently took from TMP for the Constitution page have been replacedwith better scans. I've also replced most of the K'T'Inga images, replacedthe Work Bee image and added a second one, added a new image to the Warp drivereaction chamber imaes page in the sci tech section, replaced the Drydockimages, replaced the Air Tram images and added another one from, replacedthe travel pod images, replaced the Warp Sled images and added a new one,and replaced the Epsilon IX images. All of these are snapped from the DVDspecial edition, so they are lovely and clear. Take a minute to have a lookat these, people, some of them are easily amongst the best quality imageson the whole site.
And take a moment to think about just how long a list that is, consideringthat it's all from the same movie. And it's just a fraction of what this much-malignedbit of the franchise gave to Trek.
|The phaser article has been updated with some discussion of phaserarrays and a few details about power outputs. The Constitutions article hasbeen reworked slightly to include more insight on the USS Yorktown after DanielMauel pointed out more evidence that this ship was a Constitution class starship.
