Justin Barr (History) has successfully applied for research grants, and sees Kickstarter as an added source of funding for his study of dramatic improvements in field surgery during the Korean War.
The Kickstarter aspect is "novel and (to me) absolutely fascinating," says his adviser, John Harley Warner. It may well be the first academic project to seek funding this way.
In its favor, Justin explains, "Kickstarter offers a great deal more flexibility. Most conventional grants involve months of lag time between application and funding; with Kickstarter, you set how long you want your project to run. If it is fully funded within that time period, you get the money. I don't know of any granting organization with a turn-around time even remotely close." This responsiveness permits the pursuit of small projects or ideas that arise in the course of writing, without having to wait six months for funding to arrive.
Kickstarter sets very few limitations on topics, allowing researchers to pursue money for endeavors that conventional granting agencies may not deem within their bounds to support. Furthermore, posting your project on Kickstarter "is also free advertising," Justin says.
"Kickstarter potentially provides enormous exposure. My project, for example, was fortunate enough to be selected for an email blast the company sent out to 200,000 subscribers. In addition to the monetary implications, that distribution is greater than anything I could obtain on my own. I received not only dollars but also ideas, suggestions, and feedback on the proposal from a diverse array of perspectives."
Justin's project explores changes in field surgery during the Korean War that enabled doctors to save injured limbs. During World War II, only one percent of wounds afflicted the vascular system, yet they caused a disproportionate 20 percent of the arm and leg amputations suffered by American combatants. "To frame the numbers another way, 40 percent of all injuries to the arteries resulted in amputation," he explains. "Not seven years later, in the midst of the Korean War, fewer than 13 percent of vascular wounds resulted in amputation, and thousands of GIs returned home with both life and limb intact. My dissertation explores what happened to cause this change." Interestingly, a thorough review of the medical literature does not reveal any significant technical or technological advances to explain the improved care. "The conditions for advanced vascular procedures existed in World War II just as they existed in Korea — what differed was the actual practice and delivery of that care."
Justin's interest in military medical history focuses on how "combat can catalyze medical developments, and then how those advances transition to the civilian sphere after hostilities cease." He intends to become an academic surgeon and continue to do historical research. He notes that very little has been written on Korean War-era medicine/surgery, leaving the topic ripe for exploration.
His Kickstarter goal was $600, and his campaign lasted 35 days, from December 1 to January 5. He met his goal the first week and ultimately raised $1,630 from 65 backers. The funding will be used to pay for transcription services for the interviews he needs to conduct with Korean War surgeons, nurses, and medics. He hopes to obtain ten one-hour interviews to find out why and how the surgical procedures changed so dramatically.
All the interviews, both the audio component and the typed transcripts, will be deposited in the archives of the American College of Surgeons. Interviews of Army personnel will be deposited in the History Office of the Office of the Surgeon General of the Army and interviews with Navy personnel will be deposited in the Bureau of Medicine Archives. "This project will literally create history that future scholars can use to explore their own themes in the history of military medicine," he says.
Before coming to Yale, Justin earned an AB in History from Washington University. After spending a summer teaching English in Hanoi, he worked for the U.S. government for a year, writing a history of the Special Forces medic and examining its links to physician assistant programs.

This Rendered Audi RSQ8 Is A Hot SUV That'll Haunt Your Nightmares
Should Audi make an RS version of the Q8, we hope it looks as mean as this Photoshopped version!
Coupe-esque SUVs tend to look quite ungainly. If you want proof, just look at cars like the BMW X6 and the Mercedes GLE Coupe. That's what makes the new Audi Q8 a pleasant break from the norm: here we have decent proportions, interesting details, and a rear-end that looks how the Lamborghini Urus' might, had if the designer calmed the hell down with his ruler.
But how might it look if Audi gave the Q8 an RS makeover? It's something that's rumoured, and given the current popularity of mega-fast enormo-SUVs, we wouldn't be at all surprised to see such a model appear alongside the V6 petrol and diesel versions plus the anticipated SQ8.
We don't have to wait until such a car emerges, either: prolific Internet renderer X-Tomi Design has already done the inevitable round of Photoshop trickery, and the results are mean. Very mean.
If you see this thing growing ever larger in your rear-view mirror, you're going to get out of the way. Fast. And speaking of speed, this will be a quick car: behind that vast honeycomb grille will live the Audi/Porsche developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, potentially developing as much as 641bhp.
Cut-price Urus, anyone?

Trump Administration's Public Charge Rule Blocked by Court
A U.S. District judge in Manhattan has blocked the Trump administration from implementing a new rule that would make it harder for immigrants who use public assistance to receive green cards or visas.
"Judge George Daniels of the U.S. District Court in Manhattan issued a preliminary nationwide injunction prohibiting the administration from enforcing the so-called 'public charge' rule just days before it was slated to take effect on Tuesday," CBS News reports.
"The judge's decision represents yet another defeat in court for the White House and its concerted campaign to dramatically overhaul the nation's legal immigration system. It also signifies a major legal triumph for a coalition of advocacy groups and Democratic-led states, counties and cities that challenged the rule through nearly a dozen lawsuits in federal courts across the country."
Santa Clara and San Francisco are among the jurisdictions that filed lawsuits. They worry that by discouraging immigrants from seeking medical or nutritive assistance, the federal government will create a health crisis directly affecting cities and counties.
"As a result, the Final Rule will worsen the health and well-being of the Counties' residents, increase risks to public health, undermine the Counties' health and safety-net systems, and inflict significant financial harm on the Counties," their lawsuit states.
In his ruling, Judge Daniels said the administration's move was "repugnant to the American Dream of the opportunity for prosperity and success through hard work and upward mobility."

Time flies when you are having fun. And boy, has the past 3 years at FancyLittleThings been fun.
Here we are just a few weeks away from celebrating our 3rd anniversary. We launched on March 20th, 2011. Just two Mom friends looking for a creative outlet and found some friends to join in. We had a basic strategy – share what we love – invite others to do the same – encourage & uplift our readers – stick to the true, pure & lovely (Phillipians 4:8) and always, always glorify God.
Over these 3 years, I've met some phenomenal women. Women from around the United States and the world. All who wanted to share their love of Jesus and the passions of their heart with our readers. All who wanted to be a part of what God was doing with this little realm of cyberspace.
If you've been around the blogging world or participated in its many communities, you know what I mean when I say these women, women I've never actually met, have become wonderful friends. We've prayed together, ministered together, celebrated together. Cried for each other and laughed at each other. But, for most of us, we've never actually been able to look in each others' eyes and give each other a hug.
Which is why I'm SO excited about how we will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary at FancyLittleThings!
Gathering at the Raising Generations Today Conference here in my hometown of Corning, NY.
Raising Generations Today is an annual conference designed to equip and inspire moms to reach the hearts of their children for the glory of God. Through providing valuable resources, inspirational speakers, practical teaching materials, and the connection of moms in every season of parenting, Raising Generations Today will offer hope to women so that they may embrace and thrive in their roles as moms.
If so, send us a message on our Facebook page and let us know!
We'll respond with a promo code to get you a special discounted group rate of $95.00!
Come and hang out with the FLT gals, join us at a little "meet & greet" during the conference, and be alongside us as we gain encouragement in our journey as moms.
You are all part of the FLT family too, and we'd love to share in this weekend with our loyal readers and friends! Get in touch with us and come join in as we celebrate and look forward to what God has next for us!

Microsoft Office 365 users are constantly surprised at the many innovative tools included within this suite of programs. FindTime is its newest meeting scheduler. With its integration into Outlook, users can quickly schedule meetings.
The FindTime app solves a very real problem that frustrates workers everywhere. Its ease of use is the number one advantage that people love about it. Because it is integrated into Outlook, it can save time in more ways than one. What is really remarkable is that a colleague does not need to have the app installed in order to respond.
How It Works
To get started, simply download this free Outlook add-on. An icon is added at the end of the Outlook ribbon – just click on it to get started. FindTime utilizes Outlook's free/busy availability information to make scheduling a meeting much easier so you'll spend less time on this exasperating chore. First, you send out an email and propose a potential meeting time or times. Attendees can reply by accepting or declining the suggested meeting time.
They can also suggest alternative meeting times and everyone has an opportunity to vote on whether the proposed time works for them. When all recipients have responded, the most popular time and date are chosen. The online poll allows you see how everyone else voted. You can also view their favorite time.
Once everyone in the group has responded to the poll, the meeting is scheduled using the most popular date and time. Now that a consensus has been reached, invites are automatically sent out by the FindTime app using Outlook. Though the app exists within Outlook, anyone can use it. People using other email programs or even those working at different organizations can be included.
Perks of FindTime
One of the perks of this app is that it encrypts all your personal information. Even the subject and body of the email can be encrypted to protect everyone's personal identity. This is really important for those working on secret projects that they do not want made public yet.
If it has a drawback, FindTime's weakness is the fact that it is currently only available for Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016, and Outlook Web Access. Though the program works best for Office 365 users, Microsoft will no doubt continue to tweak the app so that it works with a broader range of programs in the future.
FindTime was developed in the Microsoft Garage. Though the Garage program only began 2014, it has become wildly popular because it allows almost anyone at Microsoft to form a team and work on a project of their choosing. This type of collaborative creation has worked well in the past. Open Source projects like Linus and Azure have been so successful that they've influenced business and industry across the globe.
Despite the numerous time scheduling applications on the market today — NeedToMeet, Timebridge, Doodle, etc. — FindTime is by and large the best app for those already using Outlook. So much of the app's functionality connects perfectly with Outlook's resources. For instance, using email templates in Outlook can streamline sending out a quick email concerning the meeting's topic. A calendar event is automatically created as well. Microsoft developers went to great lengths to add additional functionalities that users really wanted.
FindTime Has Found Its Niche in the Marketplace
With millions of people already using Outlook, FindTime is the perfect meeting scheduler. It handles all aspects of setting up a meeting, including sending out invitations, emailing reminders, emailing general information about the meeting's content, and many others. Some users have claimed that they've saved two hours a day by using FindTime over standard meeting scheduling software.
A wide number of users have suggested fun, unique and helpful additions to the program and some of these may be added in the future. For instance, a future version of FindTime may be able to set appointments for you and manage the online registration process for workshops and classes.
FindTime's Features in a Nutshell:
- Find employees you want to attend in the Outlook database
- Send emails to selected employees
- Propose your selected times to attendees and allow them to vote and come to a consensus
- Easy for recipients to decline, accept or suggest new times
- FindTime looks for the best times and days that work according to each individual's Outlook Calendar
- Recipients can see whether the suggested date and time is open on their Outlook Calendar
- All attendees vote
- FindTime sends out the meeting invites on your behalf
- Recipients only need internet access and an email address in order to be included
- Send out test invites by adding a second personal email address to the To: or Cc: line
- Recipients don't need to have FindTime installed in order to participate
- Using Azure, FindTime encrypts personal information, email topic, email body, and attendee names
- No more playing email tag for days to try and set up a meeting
How to Install FindTime
Begin by logging into Office 365. Once you're logged in, navigate to the Store. The Store link should show up in the middle of your screen, but it can also be found by clicking on the app launcher in the upper left-hand corner. Once inside the Store, search for FindTime by typing that in the search box. Next, press install. The program will install rather quickly and you will get a confirmation that it has been installed. Click Okay and you're all set.
If you'd like to check to make sure the program was installed, or you need to see whether you already have FindTime installed, it's easy to do so. Go to Settings > Manage Add-Ons and you'll get a list of all add-ons. Checkboxes beside each add-on indicate whether the add-on is turned off or on. It's a good idea to check there first, as you may already have the add-on installed and it simply needs to be turned on. Simply check the box to start using FindTime.

Several students were surprised to see that four large trees that had once stood in front of the Umbeck Science-Mathematics Center had been cut down on Thursday by landscaping crews.
College officials said that the tree removal was both to clear out several damaged trees as well as to serve as part of a joint Knox-Galesburg plan to improve pedestrian safety on South Street by making room for a sidewalk along West Street, but some students and faculty remain skeptical.
On Friday, KARES members and sophomores Callie Smith and Inez Pena were sitting in a massive stump that had once been one of the trees. They had organized an all-day meditation where the trees had stood as a way of mourning the sudden loss, taking shifts sitting on the stump for several hours.
They felt the decision to cut down the trees had been taken without notifying any campus environmental group.
"I'm kind of surprised how little we were told," Pena said.
Smith mentioned that the recent forums on landscaping held this week would have been an excellent venue for discussing the issue.
"This should have been brought up [at the forums]," she said.
Both seemed frustrated by the lack of student response to the felling of the trees.
"It's so weird. Earth Month was last month and now we don't care about the Earth anymore?" Pena asked.
Students were given a chance to voice objections through the Campus Environment Committee, Director of Facilities Services Scott Maust pointed out, further adding that not one committee member objected to the move when it was first proposed.
Director of Campus Safety John Schlaf said that the decision was taken on the recommendation of the South Street Safety Task Force as a way to improve student walking habits. The trees needed to be removed to construct a sidewalk outside of SMC to help regulate pedestrian traffic, he said.
"It was felt that the crossing of some students would be improved if a sidewalk was installed," Schlaf said.
Cutting down the trees was part of a joint effort between the City of Galesburg and the school to construct a sidewalk in which the school provides the labor and the city provides the materials. The trees were, technically speaking, property of the city.
"These are on City of Galesburg right-of-way," Maust said, adding that the city could have legally cut them down without even informing the school if they had chosen to.
Schlaf reiterated that this is being done in the best interest of students.
"It was part of the overall safety process," he said.
Smith was aware of the sidewalk construction as being the reason for the tree removal, but she sounded a skeptical note, noting that it was not the lack of a sidewalk that caused the death of Tundun Lawani '14 in a car accident fall term, but rather an alleged drunk driver.
"It doesn't seem connected to me," she said.
Maust further added that three of the four trees were infested with carpenter ants and were in serious danger of falling over and harming students. Four sugar maples have fallen over on campus in the last decade, including two onto cars and one onto Conger-Neal. One of the ant-infested trees removed from outside of SMC was a sugar maple.
Maust has had an unofficial policy in place to plant two trees for every one cut down.
Smith and Pena were consoled by the promise to replace every tree cut down with two more planted, but they were worried about the lack of specifics. Smith noted that "they could be off campus and we'd never know the difference."
Associate Professor of Environmental Studies Peter Schwartzman was strongly opposed to the way in which the process was carried out, citing it as an example of a larger problem at the school in which those who love trees are afraid of expressing it for fear of such derisive labels as "tree hugger."
"Trees serve a very important function in our ecosystem," he said, noting the numerous birds and animals that formerly called the felled trees home. "The bottom line is [that] trees are valuable and we don't necessarily respect them the way we should."
His central objection to the cutting down of the SMC trees is that it was done "without the inclusion of the community." As an alternative, he said that there could have been signs posted on the trees in question beforehand to make the proposed change more visible to students, faculty and staff and allow them to voice potential concerns.
Schwartzman would also like to see the unofficial tree replacement policy made official and publicized.
"We have a lot of beautiful trees on campus. I'm not sure that we promote that enough," he said.
A number of the ash trees near the Athletic Center are vulnerable to Emerald Ash Borer and students will likely return to campus in the fall to find them gone.
These decisions are never taken lightly, according to Maust. "We don't just take trees down to be taking them down."
Students were notified. It went through the Campus Environment Committee. It is a faculty committee that students sit on. We have a lot of autonomy at Knox and you can utilize that by participating and sitting in on these meetings.

How my luck followed me abroad
Copy Editor
No millennial really enjoys receiving or reading emails, but every once in a while, you get an email that enlivens even the drudgery of email. One that, perhaps, tells you that you are joining the winter session study abroad program in London sponsored by the Department of English and the Department of Theatre.
In other words, I would be spending a month in London with almost no one I knew.
Preparation included multiple orientation meetings where we met the professors leading the trip and other university students who would be attending. I quickly realized I truly knew no one. My anxiety increased, but I remained optimistic about the experience.
As the 2018 fall semester came to a close, the fact I would be studying in another country for a month began to feel a little more like reality. In true "me" fashion, I waited until the last couple days to prepare for the trip (which I don't recommend).
And then it arrived.
I had never traveled alone before and I can't say it was my best flying experience. It was an overnight flight, and, lucky for me, I can never sleep on planes. With maybe an hour of sleep — and an ache in almost every joint in my body — I landed at Heathrow Airport. Traveling and finding my group at the airport was not at all easy, but I hoped it would be worth it.
And so far it has been as much. I have only been here for less than a week and it has been one of the longest weeks of my life. Everyone has freedom at college by being away from their parents and living on their own, but being in a whole other country without your parents feels like a whole different level of freedom.
I quickly took advantage of the fact that I can legally drink in England, and immediately went to all the major tourist spots. Again, lucky for me, Big Ben is currently under construction and unrecognizable, and the London Eye is closed.
Since I am taking classes (and earning credits!) while here it's not all fun and games. Monday through Thursday from morning until noon I am in class. And yes I know — only having class three hours in the morning with the rest of the day free is a pretty great deal. We also sometimes see plays at night (the most recent being "True West," which starred Kit Harington of "Game of Thrones").
I was also lucky — and not sarcastically this time — that I found a good group of people; everyone on this trip is nice and excited about being here. Despite all the big touristy spots being closed, it's what you make of it. Between walking around London, seeing plays with my class and drinking at the local pubs, I think I've filled this first week with as much as I could have.

Aren't You a Little Old to be Adopted?
Age 26 seems to be an unlikely time in life to be adopted. And age 50 is an even more improbable life stage to experience adoption. But it happens. I have observed such an adoptive experience twice this year.
The first one occurred in July. A dear friend boldly fought cancer for several years, but the final 9 or 10 months of his life were especially difficult. His administrative assistant stepped in and did his job for all practical purposes for a number of months in a highly challenging academic setting. She also acted as stand in consultant for dozens of leaders that leaned on him for counsel. But most importantly she served with a heart of compassion and love.
When the man she was privileged to serve passed from this life, his family adopted her. She was asked to eat at the family meal prior to his funeral and sit with them during the service. She has been given permanent honorary status in that family.
The second such adoption occurred this week. A friend of mine who postponed her successful nursing career for two decades to raise her three boys recently re-entered the health care arena as a volunteer for a hospice in her community. After completing the training that hospice provides, she patiently waited to be assigned a patient. It did not take long. She soon found herself caring for an elderly gentleman dying of cancer in a nursing home. He had family in that community, but they chose not to spend time with him during his final weeks on this earth.
Hospice calls it "volunteering." Kelly took her care for that man somewhere beyond just "volunteering." I am not sure that there is an adequate word to describe what she provided for a man that would have likely died all alone. For several consecutive days she held that man's hand and watched re-runs of Bonanza and The Andy Griffith show. She showered him with love and gifts on his birthday last week. He quietly passed away in his sleep earlier this week.
His out of state family asked her to join them at the meal before his funeral, and to sit with them during the service…. It occurred to me that I heard that before. And not too many months ago…And then it occurred to me that compassion precedes adoption. Or maybe that is incorrect. Perhaps the adoption takes place on the day that the person serving chooses to commit their lives to taking care of someone in desperate need. And then at a later date the adoptive ceremony occurs…Perhaps it is not at all unusual for a 26 year old and a 50 year old to experience adoption. It is an event they chose to instigate in a spirit of unconditional love.
I know I have said it before. I get so tired of hearing people talk about "community." But I find people that know how to love others in a spirit of true compassion to be a source of inspiration. I am thankful for their late life adoptive experience, but more importantly I am grateful to call them my friends. They prompt me to be a better person.

Five-and-a-half-year incumbent Ketchum has been axed from the account and replaced by Hill & Knowlton for the Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max brands.
The sugar-free attributes of Pepsi Max will receive far greater focus.
The decision to switch the account – believed to carry annual fees of around £350,000 – has been made jointly by Pepsi and Britvic, which markets the Pepsi brand in the UK.
It comes as soft drinks manufacturers face up to a decline in consumer taste for fizzy drinks and a government clampdown on marketing to kids.
Britvic director of corporate affairs David Lewis said: "We want to be quite provocative but in a constructive way. We plan to demonstrate through H&K that we all have a role to play in debates on issues such as obesity."
Britvic's share price plunged last week when its CEO Paul Moody described the decline in its carbonated drinks market as 'severe'.
H&K UK marcoms practice head Richard Millar is leading the account.
The account switch comes less than a year after marcoms MD Bronwen Andrews left Ketchum – where she worked on the Pepsi business – to join H&K.
H&K already works for Britvic on its Robinson's brand. Freud Communications continues to advise Pepsi on UK and international corporate PR.
If you have an opinion on this or any other issue raised on Brand Republic, join the debate in the Forum.

Relay assignment, Cognitive radio, Cooperative communication
In this paper, we present an EDA-based interference
aware multiple relay assignment scheme for cognitive
radio systems that employ cooperative transmission
techniques. In relay-assisted cognitive radio systems with
given numbers of relays and destination nodes, we
consider the problem of optimally assigning the relays to
the destination nodes. We use the sum capacity of the
cognitive radio system as the objective function to
maximize under the constraint of acceptable levels of
interference to the primary users (PU). The computational
complexity of optimal relay assignment using exhaustive
search algorithm (ESA) grows exponentially with the
number of relays and receivers. We consider Estimation
of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) for the relay assignment
problem. EDA is a probabilistic evolutionary algorithm
and updates its population at each iteration on the basis of
the probability distribution learned from the population of
superior candidate solutions chosen at the previous
iterations. The proposed EDA for relay assignment has
low computational complexity and its effectiveness is
verified through simulation results.

UFOs are Falling from the Sky
Written by Joseph Arctic Thunder
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)
The above quote can either refer to an obstinate person coming to his senses and accepting the truth; or it refers to a cleverly orchestrated process of disinformation being publicized to condition someone to finally accept a lie. You decide!
Astrophysicist Briefs The D.O.D On "Off-World Vehicles Not Made On This Earth"
The picture you see at the top of this article comes from NASA/Lockheed senior scientist Norman Bergrun, taken from the Voyager mission in 1980. Truth: they discovered a moonlet that they have called Peggy.
New York Times reported that Eric W. Davis, a renowned astrophysicist who has a provable record working along side the Pentagon, has claimed that he briefed the Defense Department Agency, in March, about "off-world vehicles not made on this Earth." The scientist claims that upon analyzing UFO debris, he concluded that the material was not man-made. (It was probably built by a woman, lol!)
The Times also reported that that a member of the Senate claims that some intenties, including members of the public may have additional artifacts from UFO crashes.
Wow aliens spaceships that are prone to crashes. Do we really want this technology?
Why are the government sectors acknowledging this type of news after such a long established protocol of ridicule, secrecy, disinformation and censorship? What is up?
Is this more disinformation to keep the public, as well as other world government guessing about US technology? Could it all be true?
If these bold claims are true then we are left with the notion that super advance alien flying saucers have the propensity in crashing or have the tendercy to experience catastrophic malfunction.
People need to understand that if a spaceship that can successfully travel through the extreme hazards of space then it's freakin' built tough to say the least. It is at least 100 years ahead of our technology and would be able to deal with our threat. Shooting it down or the alien ship crashing is unlikely.
The infamous NAVY UFO footage displaying incredible acrobatic agility, (taunting and playing with fighter pilot) are actions that we come to expect from a superior race of extra-terrestrials. I hope you can read my sarcasm.
Pst, I got a secret for you... they're ours!
... hey maybe it is me that have been conditioned in accepting a lie! The US truly has alien advance propulsion system as stated by Bob Lazar. 😁

Scud Cloud
Pannus, or scud clouds, is a type of fractus cloud at low height above ground, detached, and of irregular form, found beneath nimbostratus clouds.
These clouds are often ragged or wispy in appearance. When caught in the outflow (downdraft) beneath a thunderstorm, scud clouds will often move faster than the storm clouds themselves. When in an inflow (updraft) area, scud clouds tend to rise and may exhibit lateral movement ranging from very little to substantial.

Gaza power outages spark protests v Hamas
GAZA CITY - Palestinians, following the example of protests in Iraq and Lebanon demanding improved services, have demonstrated in the Gaza Strip, where rolling electricity blackouts sparked the largest popular demonstrations in years against the enclave's Hamas rulers.
For several days in mid-September, hundreds of Palestinians in central Gaza, mainly from al-Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps, took to darkened streets after sundown chanting slogans against Hamas and the energy company it runs.
Elsewhere in Gaza, demonstrators from the southern towns of Rafah and Khan Younis waved torches and burned tyres, prompting brief clashes with the Hamas-run police.
It was not immediately clear if the protesters can sustain the momentum and if they pose any threat to Hamas, which has ruled the region since 2007.
The protests underline growing popular frustration in an area that endured three Israeli wars, suffers from poverty afflicting about half the population of 1.8 million and unemployment estimated at 48%. Gaza is like a prison, with its borders with Israel and Egypt sealed.
Although Gaza residents have been relatively quiet regarding Hamas, the protests underscored a feeling among the populace that the group's leaders were jaded, creating a precedent for a group that seeks to consolidate its hold on Gaza and set an example that hard-line Islamists can rule successfully.
"We are fed up with this life and with Hamas," chanted protesters in Bureij, referring to the shaky electricity supply of 4-6 hours a day.
Gazans have often had to live with rolling blackouts but those worsened in the summer with long spans of power cuts reported, partly due to deterioration in lines from Egypt, which along with Israel, supplies 50% of the enclave's electricity needs.
In Iraq, peaceful but large demonstrations in July and August over frequent power cuts and calls for uprooting state corruption, improving health care, education and other services prompted hasty government reforms, particularly tangible moves to prosecute corrupt officials.
In Lebanon, protests in August came in response to the government's failure to dispose of accumulated waste, coupled with daily electricity blackouts, water scarcity and political bickering that has kept the country without a president since May 2014.
The Gaza-based Al Mizan rights group blamed the blackouts on the "absence of internal Palestinian unity", a reference to Hamas's disputes with the Palestinian Authority (PA), which leads the West Bank.
Hamas and the PA have traded accusations over the blackouts. The PA and the moderate Fatah faction headed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Hamas was refusing to pay for its fuel imports from Israel. Hamas blamed Abbas of cooperating with Israel and Egypt to tighten a blockade in place since Hamas took control of Gaza. It accused Abbas of blocking Israeli fuel supplies to Gaza to push its population to revolt against Hamas.
Senior Hamas official Mustafa Sawaf challenged Abbas in a statement on his Facebook page, writing that whatever Abbas does, he will "never be able to uproot Hamas and end its rule of the Gaza Strip".
Ahmed, a 28-year-old Gaza resident, said power cuts have been persistent since 2007.
"On average days when there is fuel, we receive some electricity every day, but when the feuds between Fatah and Hamas mount, we live in total darkness," he said.
The Palestinian consensus government of Rami Hamdallah explained that Gaza's power cuts worsened with longer spans of blackouts in mid-September when Israel sealed off all crossing points to Gaza to mark the Jewish new year. That delayed fuel shipments, forcing power stations in Gaza to shut down.
"We're not responsible for the crisis of electricity in Gaza. It is the responsibility of those who deliver the power to the population and decide the time schedule for the power delivery," Hamdallah's government said in a statement.
Gaza-based political analyst Talal Oukal said the blackouts, which also caused a severe shortage of water, were meant to force Gaza's population to "accept any political solution in the future and make them forget about their legitimate right for independence for which they have been struggling for ages".
"The situation in Gaza is unbearable," he warned. "If it is not immediately resolved, Gaza will explode in the face of everyone."

Does everyone know the law when it comes to approaching a school bus?
According to the Drivers Handbook for Kansas this is the law:
"You must stop when meeting or overtaking a school bus, church bus or day care bus that is stopped to pick up or drop off children. You must remain stopped until the STOP signal is retracted and the red lights are turned off. Traffic approaching a school bus in the opposing roadway of a divided highway is not required to stop." K.S.A. 8-1556
Over the past few months, there have been many reports across the country of children being injured or killed while getting on and off the school bus.
This is not acceptable. This issue is personal for me. I live on Ninth Street, which has one southbound lane, one northbound lane and one middle turn lane. Therefore, as the above law states, you must stop while the lights are flashing and the stop signal is displayed as children are getting on and off the bus.
My 4-year-old grandson gets in and off at my home. I walk him to and from the bus, and I do not walk away from the bus until it pulls a way. Out of two of the four days he goes to school, there is at least one vehicle, if not more, that is heading north and does not stop.
I have contacted the Salina Police Department and they understand my concern. They have said that they will attempt to have a patrol officer in my area during the times the school bus is there. I am grateful for this, but what else can we do to ensure the safety of our children or grandchildren? Should the penalty for illegally passing a stopped school bus be stronger?

Video Content For SEO: How Can My Business Benefit?
With so many options available for the consumption of media content in the modern marketplace, it can be a difficult challenge to generate material that will stand out to your audience. Unfortunately, too often, people allow themselves to be discouraged by not receiving the response they desire from some of the world's biggest search engines. If a well-produced video isn't making a dent in the Google rankings, it may not be a waste of time. Instead, you may need to examine whether you've used the proper SEO strategy for high-quality content marketing. Video content for SEO is a rising trend that every business should be moving toward.
Below, you will find a guide to some of the components of video content which remain important even though you may not be immediately benefitting from the exposure you desire. While it can be tempting to rush the process and demand results as quickly as possible, it's vital that you instead maintain consistency with your strategy and work hard to build your brand identity. Your audience will eventually respond to hard and smart work that engages them, and a strong video strategy is an essential step down that path. Rather than changing horses mid-stream, you need to be sure that you're fully committed to the plan that you mapped out.
Brand Development
Unfortunately, many people are under the mistaken belief that the primary reason to use more video content is to make the concept of your product or service easier to digest. While that may be the case for some people, the overwhelming majority of customers are more than willing to read articles or at least peruse well-produced graphics. Instead, the primary benefit of a video strategy is that it helps to develop a brand more fully. If your entire identity is based around video, you may find your potential audience, and customer base is less engaged in your content than you may need them to be.
Brand development includes many facets, including making sure that the audience well knows the personalities that are generating content for your firm. A benefit to videos is that your audience can see faces, hear voices, and learn to enjoy some of the individual quirks of your employees. Too often, text pieces come off as stilted or at least limited in their ability to express personality. Even people who are somewhat uncomfortable in front of the camera may have that personality perceived positively by the audience. That can go a long way toward making your brand much more long-lasting.
Supplementing Content
Unfortunately, there's only so much persuasion or imparting of information that can happen in a solely text-based format. Some concepts require demonstrations to sink into the minds of a reader. Other situations may rely on jokes that can be confusing in print but actually hilarious when they're seen acted out. Even subtle things like body language, the tone of voice, and non-verbal facial reactions can be cues to your audience that it's OK to laugh at something which may come off as confusing or unwelcoming without those suggestions.
Your video content can also supplement content by acting as a sort of commentary track to other content on your website. By adding that layer of explanation, you can help your audience feel like they're more engaged in a conversation than other forms of media may allow for. You can also be sure that your point is being made and that there's minimal confusion about your intentions. Readers generally react poorly to content which makes them feel like they're not in on the joke, but supplementing that content with video can go a long way toward welcoming them back into the fold.
Advertising Engagement
Ultimately, if the content you're generating isn't working toward the goal of creating a flow of monetisation into your website, you need to consider trying a different strategy. One reason why so many content creators are using video more frequently is that it can increase the length of time that an average visitor spends on your site. By increasing that time, you're likely to see substantial increases in the amount of traffic driven to advertisers, as your audience becomes more receptive to advertising when it's repeated in different formats.
Another way that video content helps with advertising engagement is by opening up additional sponsorship opportunities. In many cases, media companies can monetise specific aspects of their operation by selling smaller sponsorships to local businesses who may only be able to contribute so much to their marketing budget. Specialised video segments represent an opportunity to create additional revenue streams by creating new products that can be engaging for potential advertisers. Taking a produced video into an advertising meeting as a demonstration of the kind of content that will be sponsored can be a strong push toward getting a deal signed.
Talent Exposure
Many times, if you're trying to personalise your brand, you might find frustration from the simple fact that your audience isn't familiar with your work. If you're new to an industry and trying to establish yourself as credible or worthy of attention, then it's vital you push yourself into new and exciting mediums to develop that audience. Many people will read written pieces or listen to podcasts from personalities that they already know, but if you're still creating that image, it's essential that you try to forge every possible connection with the audience.
Video content is a great way to forge those connections because it allows your audience to connect a face with a name. When you form a sort of identification, familiarity skyrockets simply due to human nature and our tendency to gravitate toward people that we recognise. Despite all of the ways media is consumed, seeing someone's face is irreplaceable in regards to formulating that identity. If you commit to producing video content and making sure you're on camera as regularly as possible, you can be guaranteed to make a more significant impact on your audience than any other media production.
Production Skills
Even if you feel as though a career in front of the camera may not be the best fit for you, it's still essential that you develop the skill set necessary to create engaging videos. With so much focus on video content now permeating the media landscape, you're likely to fall behind if you're not capable of helping someone else get in front of the camera. One of the most significant benefits of self-produced video content is that you get familiar with the equipment and some concepts of technical production that might otherwise be confusing.
If you can manage to light yourself and capture your sound, you'll find it far simpler to achieve those tasks when someone else is the subject. In fact, with so many people in the industry now forced to shoot their own shots, developing a dual skill set is essential for advancement. If you are struggling for inspiration for video ideas, you can consider looking at consumer-generated content as well. Most media organisations are in search of people who can help them out on multiple fronts. Even if the videos you produce only end up on your resume reel, they might still someday get in front of a person who can help you advance substantially in your career.
Storytelling Experiments
Many people who go into media do so because they have a passionate desire for telling stories to their communities and revealing truths that they believe need to be understood. Unfortunately, the depths of some of that information can be hard to portray in more static formats. The plight of an affected person is something that can jump out of a video and affect a viewer in a way that may be difficult to achieve on the page. Rather than simply trusting your readership to get the picture, it's essential to force understanding when you can.
Video content allows for the expression of empathy in much the same way that it will enable you to develop a personality. Even someone who doesn't know you personally will be able to hear in your voice and see on your face when a story deeply moves you, and they'll be more likely to take it as a cue to examine their own feelings. Video content also better allows you to weave in interviews and outside perspectives which can help in landing that emotional impact and make sure it's fully understood.
Increased Video Content For SEO
Some of the modern production of video content has become self-fulfilling. It's a requirement because more and more people are looking for it online, but more and more people may be looking for it because they're used to it being featured so prominently at the top of search engine results. Following search engine optimisation principles will require you to include content on the pages of your website that allow the site to be driven to the top of the results. Rather than fighting to push through the static with content, understanding those results and utilising some of their tricks can be a smart strategy.
SEO results feed Google rankings and, in turn, can help drive your exposure on the internet. If a potential member of your audience searches for a keyword but includes "video," then it's vital that your website can deliver that specific result. Without including video content, it may be exceedingly difficult to climb up the search engine rankings and appear in the number of results that's necessary to build a critical mass of the audience. Commitment to your brand requires you to take the steps required to play the game of modern internet marketing.
Fast Monetisation
Content that's well-reviewed can be emotionally fulfilling, but the best kind of content is likely that which is also financially fulfilling. The time and effort that goes into creating media for an audience don't always have an immediate payoff, so if you can find ways to generate a return on your investment, then you need to seize them if at all possible. Many video sharing sites now offer opportunities for advertising placement that could give you a chance to see a faster return than you may have expected when you first started creating.
Understanding the process for making money off of video ads will require you to examine the rules and regulations on each video sharing website and make sure that your content fits into their requirements. While at first, this may seem stifling, it's important to understand that those rules are based on the ways that most people consume media. In many cases, the content rules which confuse you are vital for allowing your audience to engage with your products. Once ads start rolling in front of your videos, you can create the foundation for a long-term and profitable strategy.
Love Of Creation
With all of the focus on the business side of media, it needs to be said that it's also an enjoyable line of work. If you can turn telling stories and acting on camera into a way to meet the financial obligations of modern society, you're likely to have a degree of professional fulfilment that many people are missing in their daily lives. Working in media means being challenged by new and exciting opportunities on a daily basis. Those challenges can go a long way toward allowing you to unleash your personality.
Even if your videos aren't generating the search returns that you're hoping for, they're still worth doing as long as they're fun. An opportunity to laugh with your friends and explore your creativity doesn't come along every day. Making online content with a video component provides you with that opportunity and can open some doors that you may have thought were closed forever. Rather than allowing yourself to be stymied by the challenges of modern society and the drudgery of a daily job, make some video content. Laugh, smile, tell stories, and allow yourself to be engaging.

AppleCare is great for those that have the few extra hundred dollars and don't want to worry about coughing up tons of money to fix their macs. You also recieve 3 years of telephone support, which means if you need help with your mac at any time, AppleCare Telephone Support can help you. Newly converted PC users will appreciate this. Customer service is top notch and you can expect to have your questions answers most of the time. You can also reserve a spot at Apple's Genus Bar located in their retail stores. They will help you with your problems, and if there is a serious one, they will even do the repairs for you, AppleCare covers the labour and the parts.
Extended warranty plans are almost pure profit for companies. What does this tell you about the number of failures you can expect? In addition to this AppleCare costs money, and quite a bit of it. With the Macbook/iBook AppleCare coming in at $249 USD, MacBook Pro AppleCare costing $349 USD, Mac Mini costing $149, iMac costing $169 and AppleCare for the big Mac Pro costing $249, its going to set you back quite a bit. I have also heard stories of bad service or really slow repairs, or even extended problems with the solutions. Generally the repairs aren't fast, but luckily I have purchased Pro Care, which I will review in another post. As well, if you void your warranty for your mac, then your purchase of AppleCare has bee wasted. They also charge you the exact same thing as normal if you cause damage to your mac, on purpose or by accident.

10 of the Most Creative Ice Bucket Challenge Videos
These Challengers Went Above and Beyond for a Great Cause
Check out this article by Elise Moreau, Trends Expert on webtrends.about.com
The #IceBucketChallenge was one of the biggest viral sensations of 2014. You couldn't refresh any of your social feeds without seeing a video shared of some famous celebrity or other high-profile influencer dumping a bucket of ice water over their heads to support ALS Association research.
From Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, to Ryan Seacrest and Justin Timberlake, everyone who took the challenge seemed more than willing to get a little cold and wet if it meant they could help spread the word about a good cause. Those who completed the challenge kept the viral momentum going by ending their videos with nominations of other individuals and top influencers to participate in the challenge as well.
Despite some of the criticism the goofy hashtag game has received about doing nothing to help ALS awareness, the Association announced that a whopping $41.8 million had already been between July 29th to August 21st, 2014 compared to the $2.1 million that was raised during the same period in 2013. Clearly, a silly social media gimmick can do some pretty remarkable things.
Here are some of the most creatively thought up and captured #IceBucketChallenge videos from a few artsy filmmakers who've shared them on Vimeo. And since you're still reading this, you might as well visit the ALS Association website so you can hit the big red "Donate" button to make a donation of any amount if you haven't yet already.
1. This guy apparently used dry ice instead of ice water.
Would you be willing to dump a bucket of dry ice over your head? In this video, there's a brief shot of the box containing the dry ice with a huge warning on it: EXTREMELY COLD. (Do not put in drinks, do not eat, do not touch skin, etc.) At least the guy wore goggles and gloves. Ouch. Don't try this at home, folks. More »

Can I put Ford oil in a BMW?
My BMW E46 330i needs a slight oil top up and I have some Ford 5w30 fully synthetic oil laying around.
The Ford oil says it's Acea A1/B1 compatible but most BMW forums I read says it should use Acea A3 rated oil.
Is there that much difference or could I use this oil to top it up with no harm we are only talking from the min to the max of the oil dipstick?

BMW Requires that you use Mobil 1 or Castrol Syntec in the motor depending on the year but it is more important to have the proper amount of oil in the motor rather than the proper brand so yes you can use that oil. I would not fill the motor with the wrong brand but if it is just a quart or less you have nothing to worry about. All of the oil companies have to meet such strict regulations that they all provide good protection. The main difference now is the additives that they put into the oil to provide extra protection and cleaning properties. Hope i have been helpful.Source(s): ASE Certified Parts Specialist/Mechanic with 15+ years experience.

Oil is oil so long as you conform to the car manufacturer's specs (which is 5w30 full synthetic oil).
BMW does not "require" you to use Castrol much less Mobil 1. BMW "recommends" Castrol and uses Castrol on its cars. BMW is quiet about Mobil 1 and other comparable oil brands but it does not mean that you can not use it.

That small amount will not affect anything but if you're already at the min. mark, I would leave it alone. That means you have enough and as it heats up, it will expand a little. Just be careful not to add too much. It's easy to do and as bad as not having enough oil!
- MariaLv 61 decade ago
It is ok as long as your BMW uses 5w30 oil.

Rockstar's L.A. Noire hit store shelves this week to much hullabaloo from both critics and consumers alike. Reception of the game has been incredibly favourable, despite the reported overheating issues on both PS3 and Xbox 360.
"L.A. Noire is currently outperforming at retail and I believe consumers are more forgiving for glitches and bugs than we give them credit for," said EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich to NowGamer.com.
The game is expected to sell 4 to 5 million units within the 2012 financial year. As for the overheating issues, both Rockstar and Sony have released a joint statement noting that neither are to be blamed for the problem.

Written by Gregg Jacobs
Eight weeks ago, I launched the newest campus of Allison Park Church in Butler, Pa. So far, we have had new guests and salvations every week! We even had a person healed of seizures. Our attendance and giving have been strong.It amazes me how God works.
One of the aspects that sticks out to me is how the Holy Spirit only gives me snippets of direction to follow. This past weekend, I clearly heard Him tell me I need to prepare for growth. I need to advance my team. That's it. No plans, no idea how many people to plan for. Just prepare. I don't work well that way. I want to know the plan, I want to know the steps.
The Bible challenges followers to walk by faith, not by sight. I believe God does this for several reasons. First, we would not be ready to receive what He would tell us. If you would have told me two years ago I would be leading a campus of Allison Park Church, I would have told you, "No way! I'm not qualified for that." Knowing our future doesn't prepare us, the process getting to our future prepares us.
Second, if we knew our future, we would try to get ready for it on our own. Humans have a track record of doing great things. Just consider the amount of steel that's laid down for all of the trains to run on in America. If you put them in a straight line, you would have a train track that goes around the earth over 5 times! God gave us great minds and abilities, but because of the fall of man, we try to work on our own to get things done. God has set up opportunities for you to partner with Holy Spirit to train and prepare you for your future. We would miss those if we did it on our own.
At this point, even though I want more than snippets from the Holy Spirit, I would rather walk by faith and see Him get the glory. I want the Holy Spirit to prepare me as well as lead me to opportunities I can't make on my own. What about you?
Gregg Jacobs has been serving on staff at Allison Park Church since 2004. He and Kyra have been married for more than 15 years and have two teenage sons. Gregg loves working on cars, competing in demolition derbies, and spending time outdoors

Earth Day is right around the corner! Here is a quick and easy project that your kids all ages will enjoy. It's very easy and chances are you have everything you need in your supply closet.
- paper coffee filters
- washable markers
- spray bottle with water
1. Using washable marker pens in blues and greens, color your coffee filter with continents and oceans. Although it can be fun to think about the shapes of the Earth's real continents and try to draw them accurately, this isn't at all important. You just want to create a "blue-green marble," like our planet as seen from outer space.
NOTE: Marker ink seeps quickly into the coffee filter, which is meant to absorb moisture; you don't have to worry about the white space in between marker strokes.
2. When you are satisfied with your continents and oceans, lay your coffee filter down flat on your table surface and spray it lightly with water from the spray bottle. The ink will begin to run together and spread, like a watercolor painting. NOTE:
don't spray too much water on the earth; if you do, the colors may get very mixed and muddy.
3. Leave your wet earth on the table top to dry. We did ours outside and they were dry within 20 minutes or so. As soon as your earths are dry, they can be taped up in a window. If they are too wrinkly for your taste, gently iron them on medium heat (and without any water spray or steam).

SMEs and self-employed people in the UK are more confident about future prospects than their counterparts in both France and Germany.
The annual Sage Business Index surveyed almost 14,000 SMEs, finding that optimism in UK businesses has reached a four year peak.
Confidence has risen by four points to reach 66, demonstrating increased faith in the UK's current economic recovery. Any score over 50 would be seen as a positive change, so this is an obvious improvement on previous years.
In Germany, confidence stands at 63 and in France it is down at 55. Fortunately for the European economy in general, the only countries to report a fall in confidence were Portugal, Austria and Switzerland.
The UKs SMEs also outranked the global average, which is currently at 63. Nearly two-thirds of companies within the UK expected their turnover to increase during the next year, and half of business owners expect their growth to include taking on at least two more employees.
Sage's global SEO Guy Berruyer believes there are a number of reasons for the confidence surge, including the healthy attitude to risk that UK firms have, which has helped export levels increase.
The index showed that 29 per cent of UK respondents claimed that they were more ready to take risks than in previous years. 40 per cent of owners surveyed said that sales to international markets increased last year, and 54 per cent expected export revenues to grow in the near future.
Only 10 per cent of British firms have experienced a decline in export sales.
SMEs and self-employed people in the UK are more confident about future prospects than their counterparts in both France and Germany.

Didn't realise I had this many German police cars from various brands. After taking these shots, I found a Tomica Porsche, Matchbox Mercedes Benz Wagon and BMW one. I probably have more hiding somewhere in storage
Most of these, everyone would've seen before but I must say, the Kingstar version is the first I've heard of this brand. I picked it up as a pair when I got the Tomica Merc, and it came in a long thin box. Anyone know more about this brand?
And as much as I like Tomicas, my favourite from the lot has to be the Schuco one. Such nice details and relatively cheap when I picked it up in Munich.

Trail : home / The Curriculum / Music
Copp School holds a Learning Excellence Award for Best Practice in Music!
At Copp, we ensure continuity and progression of learning through a broad and balanced music curriculum, which encourages awareness, enjoyment and an appreciation of music in all its forms.
INTENT: to engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music, to celebrate their musical talents, increasing self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. Where possible, music is taught within themes in order to make it a real-life learning process and lessons are differentiated appropriately.
As well as discrete music lessons in class, the whole school has weekly Worship through Song sessions which help to broaden their understanding/meaning of hymns. They are also given the opportunity to listen to a range of music selected on the worship theme each week. Hymns are sung during whole school assemblies.
Instrumental tuition is important at Copp and we provide peripatetic lessons in keyboard and guitar. Pupils from Y3 are encouraged to join Copp Choir, which has a high profile in the local and wider community. Groups/individuals are encouraged to showcase their talents during a range of forums, whenever they are confident to do so.
By the end of KS2 pupils will have experienced:
Musical terms explained
Pitch: how high or low the notes are
Themes are usually devised within topics which means that there are strong links between music and other subjects.
For pupils who are skilled in different areas of music we have the junior choir, peripatetic music lessons in guitar and keyboard.

The Financial Inclusion Steering Committee (FISC) held its 7th meeting on 5 July 2019 at the BSP in Manila. The FISC is an important platform that was established in 2016 through Executive Order No. 208 to provide strategic direction, guidance and oversight in the implementation of the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (NSFI) which was launched in 2015. Now with 17 members, the inter-agency body ensures a coordinated approach to financial inclusion by ensuring policy and program cohesion and promotion of multi-sectoral collaboration.
Chaired by Governor Benjamin Diokno, the 7th FISC Meeting covered updates on priority initiatives the member agencies undertook in support of agriculture value chain financing (AVCF) and digital finance - the two focal themes of the NSFI.
The FISC members recognized the need to promote greater collaboration in government and private sector toward developing and financing agriculture value chains. Strengthening agriculture value chains can improve access of smallholder farmers and small agribusinesses to effective farming technologies and to stable, high value market– thereby improving their productivity, competitiveness, and bankability. AVCF can therefore catalyze more meaningful and sustainable participation of the banking industry in agriculture financing, benefitting in particular the smallholders.
The FISC members also expressed their commitment to ensure more Filipinos are able to open and regularly use a transaction account so they can fully participate in the gains of an inclusive digital finance ecosystem. During the meeting, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) presented its initiative to facilitate the opening and use of e-money or basic deposit account for the conditional cash transfer program beneficiaries. Other agencies are also exploring opportunities to leverage their policymaking powers to promote use of transaction accounts, particularly by the microentrepreneurs, wage-earners and other vulnerable sectors. Aligned with this thrust, the Department of Finance also reported the ongoing interagency efforts to enable online payment of government fees and taxes which is expected to drive use of transaction accounts and digital payments.

This property determines the transparency of the
GuiObject|GUI's background and border.
It does not, however, determine the transparency of text if the GUI is a
TextButton, or
TextLabel. Text transparency is determined
TextButton/TextTransparency, and
TextLabel/TextTransparency respectively.
If the property is set to 1, neither the background nor the border will render and the GUI will be completely transparent.
Code Samples
Flash Fade a Gui Element
The example below demonstrates how to continuously fade a GUI element in and out (see image below). It relies on the
RenderService/RenderStepped event to update and render the element's
GuiObject/BackgroundTransparency every frame.
The GUI element fades in and out between the maximum transparency value,
MAX_TRANSPARENCY, and minimum transparency value,
MIN_TRANSPARENCY. It uses the
delta variable to determine what amount to change the element's BackgroundTransparency.
This example should work as expected when placed in a
Script or
LocalScript that is the child of the GUI element you want to fade in and out.

According to him, the move shows that GES is paying attention to JHS students, and therefore giving them a sense of importance.
Haffar, who is also a member of the GES Council, said there is nothing wrong with the introduction of the new uniform.

The Doodle Bug Rag
One great song-poem factory was run by Lee Hudson. He never released records under his own name (aside from things such as "Lee Hudson Orchestra" under the singer's name), but did supply records to around 30 labels that had been identified by the American Song-Poem Music Archives (before it was mothballed). Many of these labels were vanity names, releasing songs only by one or two writers. Sometimes the only apparent connection with Globe is the presence of one or more of Globe's standard vocalists.
Here's one from the Show label - the only record I've ever seen on this label, although the AS/PMA website shows a different one for the same label. Label stalwart Mary Kaye sings a peppy number, "The Doodle Bug Rag":
The best reason to share this record, though, is because when I bought it, it still had, attached to the 45 sleeve, the marketing materials that Globe sent out to... whoever it was that received this record. The record description actually contained brief statements regarding this record on one side, and comments on another single on the other side (you can make out the print on the reverse side, in this scan):
Then there's the comment card, both sides of which I've scanned. Note that the reply card comes from Globe, while the description of the record is credited to a different distributor:
Finally, here's the "soothing South Pacific sound" of the flip side, "My Hawaii", featuring the man who truly was "the voice" of the Globe label, Sammy Marshall:

Nice amount of care taken with this record, although the song isn't much. The steel guitarist sounds like he's been trapped in a 3x5 room for two days and can't wait to start playing!
- KL from NYC said...
I'm having a good time going through everything (I already went through the WFMU posts).
If you're interested, I put up a tap dancing record (with tap dancing on the record) and an Amway singers LP #993 (which means there are 992 others -- sorry if this makes your wish list longer). They're at Grey Calx's BasementCurios.blog on the first page. (He has other unusual things too, like "Advanced Elk Calling.")
- Malcolm Chapman said...
Although they never issued it at the time, Decca Records had Brenda Lee record this (Doodle Bug Rag). Although to be honest, she sings it so breathlessly, maybe the lyrics are a little different.

More than ever large organizations need taxonomy to retrieve, publish and manage information in the way they want to. Being able to manage records, documents and other digital assets throughout their lifecycle is key to efficient operations and effective communications.
This is a case study of a taxonomy project completed for the world's football governing authority, FIFA. As a global organization over 100 years old FIFA has produced a large collection of official documents, and they needed a way to organize them.
From the business problem that sparked the project to the exercises, analysis and standards used to the derive the final product, we'll look at each phase of this unique taxonomy project, and take away a few useful insights along the way.
Session Takeaways
- How to lead a taxonomy project
- Real-world taxonomy development
- Information governance for global regulatory bodies

PC Power and Cooling have earned a very well respected reputation over the years for creating some of the best power supplies that money can buy. OCZ bought the company in May 2007 adding them into the fold and they have continued to release quality units since then.
The Silencer MKIII 1200 watt power supply is 80 Plus Platinum certified and is set to target the highest end audience today. The box artwork isn't that inspiring – basically everything is faded out so it is barely visible. The seven year warranty is reassuring.
This power supply is designed for demanding, overclocked systems, running two or more high end video cards.
The supply contains a user manual, mounting screws and regional specific power cable. The unit measures 150 mm x 86 mm x 180 mm (WxHxD). It weighs a whopping 2.7kg.
All of the cables are supplied in a black felt bag. The cables in the image above right are hardwired into the unit.
|Cable (modular)
|MB 20+4 pin
|x1 (625mm)
|6+2 pin PCIe
|x6 (580mm – two hardwired and four modular)
|4+4 pin EPS12V/ATX12V
|x2 (640mm – one modular and one native)
|x12 (400mm + 150mm)
|x4 (400mm + 150mm)
|x1 (+150mm)
The motherboard ATX cable, 2 PCIe cables and two 4+4 pin EPS12V/ATX12V cables are all hardwired. The rest of the cables are modular. I am surprised they hardwired both of the EPS cables into the unit as not many motherboards require more than one.
I was disappointed to see only six PCIe cables with a 1200W power supply. Recent designs have incorporated 8 PCIe cables which makes sense for Quad Crossfire or SLI systems. The Fatal1ty 1000W power supply reviewed earlier has the same number of PCI E connectors, but is rated 200W lower.
