During the meeting, Pence delivered to Putin a message from President Donald Trump, requesting Russia's cooperation to establish an "Earth-wide" missile defense system to protect our planet from an impending alien UFO invasion expected to occur in September of 2017.
The move by the Trump administration to seek the support and cooperation of Kremlin to ward off the threat of an alien military invasion of planet Earth came after NASA satellites reportedly detected a massive "miles-wide" alien UFO invasion fleet that entered our solar system.
The massive fleet is believed to be heading toward Earth and will arrive in September of 2017.
The bizarre report appearing on multiple alien and UFO conspiracy theory blogs claims that on January 15, 2014, the U.S. Department of Defense launched three Terrier-Orion rockets from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility. Pentagon did not disclose to the public the purpose of the top-secret launches, despite inquiries from the media. The reason for the launches remains a mystery, but it is believed that the launches were part of ongoing efforts by the Pentagon to investigate the alleged incoming alien UFO invasion fleet.
Some reports claim, so far, NASA has detected that the alien UFO invasion fleet is emitting a mysterious force field that appears to act in a manner similar to the Earth's magnetic field that deflects harmful space energy particles constituting the solar wind.
Since the fleet was first observed, it has approached Earth close enough for amateur sky watchers equipped with good telescopes to observe the structural details, the reports claim.
But it is feared that we will not have answers to the purpose or mission of the approaching fleet until they reach Earth late in 2017. While some believe that the aliens are a hostile war-like extraterrestrial species and that mankind could be facing a threat of extinction due to military invasion and extermination of our race, others have expressed faith that the aliens are a benevolent species coming to save Earth from World War III between the U.S. and Russia.
"Who says they [the aliens] are enemies?" one believer asked.
"They are coming to pick up Clinton," another believer commented hopefully.
A third believer suggested they could be the Anunnaki from Planet Nibiru.
"Since Nibiru is already here, what makes anyone think the Anunnaki would not be coming with their ships," the believer commented. "If true, I'd say be careful since they could have the potential to destroy the whole planet and start all over again."
Based on the view that the aliens could be coming to save the world from the evil NWO-Illuminati globalist cabal, some expressed impatience, wondering why the aliens were taking so long to come.
"Thought they should've been here already," a believer commented. "These Aliens keep on wasting our time. We've been waiting since 2000 and its 16 years now. They are telling us that they will arrive next year. When next year comes they will probably take a detour and visit Mars and we will have to wait for 2019. Then they might decide to go to Venus and check it out before they come here and then they delay again till 2021. And so this generation dies out…"
The latest alleged evidence of an impending alien invasion and takeover of Earth in 2017 comes after the Inquisitr reported in August that a YouTube doomsday prophet announced in a video uploaded to his channel Revelation13net that recent warnings that an alien invasion fleet will reach Earth in 2017 are corroborated by the prophecies of Nostradamus and the Book of Revelation.
According to YouTube doomsday prophet Psychic T. Chase, Nostradamus and the Book of Revelation reveal that an extraterrestrial invasion of Earth will happen very soon.
"They're always coming 'next year.' But we think our puny missiles will protect us from star travelers."
But before aliens arrive to stage an invasion of Earth, a World War III confrontation between the U.S. and Russia would have started. However, the aliens will intervene to save the humanity from nuclear self-annihilation.
"Decode Rev. 19 and it sounds like a UFO invasion. 'And I saw heaven opened and a white horse…' Rev. 19:14 says 'and the armies in heaven followed on white horses.'"
Human DNA will be re-engineered to make us peaceful.
Laura Eisenhower, great-granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower, is another member of the UFO conspiracy theory community who has warned that aliens are implementing a world takeover plan in 2017, according to Clapway.
The UFO conspiracy theorist insists that NASA is aware of what is going on but does not want us to know about it.
According to Laura, the cover-up of what government knows about a developing plan by alien races to take over Earth has been going on for years, long before her great-grandfather, Dwight Eisenhower, became president and signed the first human treaty with an alien species in the 1950s.

It ended with a whimper not a bang and that was proper and appropriate. It had lasted for 64 days spread over four months. It had contained more than 20,000 overs, been played out over more than 100,000 balls, many of them dot. It made the Tour de France look like a jaunt in the country. It was epic, with seven of the nine contenders in a position to mount a challenge for the crown during the final month.
There was a satisfying complexity to the denouement of the County Championship. Any one of three might be champions, any one of four might be relegated along with poor doomed Surrey, and they were arrayed against each other. It was not only about what you could do but what others might do. When you factored in bonus points, it made it the most bewildering conclusion to a season since the glorious uncertainty of goal average.
By yesterday morning, the fog had lifted and much had been resolved. Kent, one time favourites, were doomed. The title would go to Durham or Nottinghamshire. The former skated to victory with Steve Harmison uprooting an off stump - 'That's a poor leave' said Mike Atherton. Nottinghamshire, meanwhile, were waiting for their guests to declare.
This, it must be said, did not make for great television. It was akin to being a waiter at the end of a long night watching someone toy with their dessert. When, if ever, would they call it a day? Was there anything, legally, one could do to forcibly evict them.
It was frustrating but, thankfully, David Lloyd was in vintage end-of-season form. 'He's watching the game on his telephone. Staggering,' he said, as pictures flashed up on the screen of a youth doing exactly that. How long before the screens are dispensed with on Jeff Stelling's Soccer Saturday and we pay for the privilege of watching Phil Thompson and Paul Merson staring at their mobile phones? Live.
Lloyd continued in good form when we saw pictures of the Durham players at 11.30 in the morning walking across the square carrying bottles of lager. 'Curious,' said Charles Colvile. 'It's certainly a curious time to have a drink,' said Lloyd.
He gave the impression that his curiosity had been evoked by it being late rather than early in the day when he said of Mark Ealham: '39 years of age, he'll be 40 next year, of course he will, it goes without saying.'
As for Colvile, what can one say other than that there was a time when the clever money suggested that Charles Colvile would have a more successful broadcasting career than his look-alike Piers Morgan. This has not happened.
At one stage it looked as if there might be a big finish as a partnership between Samit Patel and Bilal Shafayat developed. There was a plethora of fours, the odd six, the improbable began to seem slightly possible. You wanted it to last, but it couldn't. Dimitri Mascarenhas, already cast as villain for that late declaration and having taken the first four wickets with his sensible seamers, continued in the role with a couple of smart catches to dismiss the pair of them.
It was nearly all over as Mascarenhas snaffled another catch to leave Hampshire and Durham, watching on their bus on the A2, a wicket away from victory and bowling to Charles Shreck.
'Here we go, Michael Carberry the catcher and Durham are the champions,' said Atherton. 'Another good season in the County Championship which has come to a conclusion with just a scheduled two hours to go.' The losers trudged from the pitch. The winners were elsewhere.
Although not out of mobile range. Colvile rang them. 'I think it's probably fair to say that Dale Benkenstein has entered a different world of late,' said Colvile. 'It's a bit early for that,' said Lloyd, looking at his watch.

Sgt. Jessica Gamboa was out for a run at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, when she spotted a bear cub.
"Immediately my thought was, 'OK, where's the mama bear?'" she said of the May 18 incident.
Her instincts were right. The mama bear attacked, knocking Gamboa down, then picking her up and throwing her to the ground, pummeling Gamboa with her powerful paws.
Gamboa did the only thing she could.
"I played dead," she said, in a video interview released by the Army. "I just completely surrendered."
That action likely saved her life.
Eventually the bear lost interest. But Gamboa was left badly injured and all alone, suffering from lacerations to her neck, arms and legs, a torn ear and neck fractures.
So Gamboa got in touch with her own inner mama bear.
"I have a baby boy, a 4-year-old son at home. ... He's all I wanted to live for," she said.
She called out for her husband, who was also running at the base, but got no response. She prayed for strength.
Finally, out of nowhere came a truck driven by an Army medic, Sgt. Collin Gillikin.
"I wasn't a man of faith but it kind of made me think there really is something bigger than myself out there," Gillikin said.
Less than two weeks after the attack, doctors say Gamboa will make a full recovery. But she's already learned an important lesson.
"Never underestimate the power of nature," she said. "And when it comes to mama bear, there's not much that you can do."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Best of Friends
Lyrics from The Fox and the Hound
Composed by Richard Johnston and Stan Fidel
Performed by Pearl Bailey as Big Mama
When you're the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You're not even aware
You're such a funny pair
You're the best of friends
Life's a happy game
You could clown around forever
Neither one of you sees
Your natural boundaries
Life's one happy game
If only the world wouldn't get in the way
If only people would just let you play
They say you're both being fools
You're breaking all the rules
They can't understand
The magic of your wonderland
When you're the best of friends
Sharing all that you discover
When these moments have passed
Will that friendship last?
Who can say if there's a way?
Oh I hope... I hope it never ends
'Cause you're the best of friends
Lyrics transcribed by Disneyclips.com

Greenslate Farm Memory Garden
Our aim is to create a garden area for the local community to use for quiet relaxation, reflection but also a space to meet others. A haven.
The Vision
We have had some sad events around the farm area in the last year odd and this is an influence on our idea, but we didn't want to call it a memorial garden as this seems a bit negative, we want it to be thoughtful place in remembrance of the sad memories but also create a space for happy ones as well.
The Design
Our design is to create a seating area surrounded by raised beds full of seasonal colourful flowers and shrubs. With a fruit tree in the centre as a focus with others planted outside. The whole outer area to be made into a bee friendly wildflower mini meadow. A hedge to be planted on the fence line with a variety of hedging kindly donated to the farm by the Woodland Trust.
Now and How.
This is a picture of the area we wish to create the memory Garden in. Access will be open to all via the farm main entrance. The location has been selected as it is a quieter area on a busy farm in between our community allotments.
It will be constructed by farm volunteers and care farm students. We aim to use reclaimed timber to make the raised beds and source all other requirements locally. Greenslate Community Farm is committed to reducing carbon emissions, We do our best to work to organic and permaculture principles. We are committed to supporting local ethical businesses wherever possible.


text: We cannot tell you how blessed we have been to have so many family members come out in the time that we have been here. We just enjoyed an almost 1-month visit with Syd's sister, Krissy. It was amazing that she was able to take off as much time as she did to be over here. We spent most of our time together here at the camp just doing everyday things together. It was great for Krissy to get to meet Malachi. She came at a great time to see him starting to really learn things…he even started walking while she was here! It was great to reconnect and we are really starting to look forward to coming home to be able to spend more time with family and friends.

The LiveWell diet for France would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the current average by 25% and decrease an average person's daily expenditure on food from €4.90 to €4.36 a day.
The biggest increases shown in the LiveWell Plate, compared to the current French diet, are in the consumption of legumes and cereals. The biggest decreases are in meat and meat products, as well as in highly-processed sweets, such as cakes. Consumption of dairy foods increases, but only modestly.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
Last week was the end of summer and the first day of fall in the astronomical calendar. In the meteorological calendar autumn started on September 1st. Here in the mountains you could have fooled me. This summer started off unusually cold and wet and September has been unbelievable warm and sunny. In agriculture the growing season or summer is the period of each year when native plants and ornamental plants grow; and when crops can be grown. Everything around here goes usually goes by the ecological calendar.
- Prevernal (early or pre-spring): Begins late March to April. Deciduous tree buds begin to swell. Migrating birds fly from winter to summer habitats. The bears start to wake.
- Vernal (spring): Begins May . Tree buds burst into leaves. Birds establish territories and begin mating and nesting.
- Estival (high summer): Begins July. Trees in full leaf. Birds hatch and raise offspring.
- Serotinal (late summer): Generally begins mid to late August. Deciduous leaves begin to change color. Young birds reach maturity and join other adult birds preparing for fall migration.
- Autumnal (fall): Generally begins mid September. Tree leaves in full color then turn brown and fall to the ground. Birds migrate back to wintering areas.
- Hibernal (winter): Begins November. Deciduous trees are bare and it's freezing! Migrating birds settled in winter habitats.The growing season is coming to an end.
Our climate and elevation , and the plant-crop selection, should be telling us summer is over, but when I came home today there seemed to be a quirkiness in the front yard. Even though I have seen the bees getting cold as they try to get the last bit of pollen from my flowers, the hummingbirds have come, moved north, come back and gone south for the winter and the bear has been feasting nightly in the back getting ready for his winter hibernation, I was still reveling in the beauty of my garden and the warm sun still there at the end of my day.
What a shock to come home and see the first signs of winter; dumped unceremoniously right next to my beautiful hummingbird, bee and butterfly garden. Who dares to force such brutal change on me?

It was August 2011 when I wrote my first blog post. My intention was to encourage women to find joy of God in His steadfast presence in the midst of their worst circumstance.
I was excited to share what I was learning myself.
My tagline looking forward, pressing on, is what I believe God has called us to do when we are in the middle of the yuck.
I've always been intrigued by those who naturally seem to have a drive to press on.
See it through.
Finish well.
In spite the fact they are stuck in quicksand with a storm looming overhead, they continue to look forward and press on with perseverance.
Maybe you're one of those people.
I'm not.
In my younger years I struggled with giving up on, and quitting everything I started.
Today, I may still struggle but I have no excuse because I don't have to rely on my own strength. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13. Through His perseverance He gave us this priceless gift when He took God's will all the way to the cross.
In December 2010 I met a young lady who made a huge impact on my desire to write about the unquenchable spirit to press on and finish well. Little did I know when I met Whitney King, she would one day become Whitney Mobley (my daughter-in-law.)
I met Whitney in a friend's frame shop just one year after an accident that nearly took her life.
I didn't know. I couldn't see beyond her gregarious smile and the sun bouncing off her golden locks.
She's one of those people who never complains about her circumstances. She makes no excuses. She presses on and gives God the glory for her strength.
Later, she told me her story.
After the accident she wasn't expected to live. The doctors said the odds were against her but that didn't matter.
God was for her.
He had other plans for Whitney.
Tragedy may have struck her down but it didn't strike her out!
Whitney shares her testimony and redemption story through her new T-shirt company Found Strong. www.foundstong.com. Here, she shares her God-given creativity and gives back to those in need. I invite you to click here to meet Whitney and visit her site.
I'm linking-up today with Suzie Eller's Live Free Thursday, and Susan B Mead's, Dance With Jesus. Won't you please come join me there as well.
Looking forward, pressing on, seeking God. ~ Christy

With more and more kids stuck to their gadgets these days, it can feel challenging to think of ways to encourage outdoor play. However, it's so important as outside games can improve creativity whilst staying active can improve a child's health.
A child should always get some daily fresh air, away from the artificial lights of computers, tablets and television screens. You don't have to venture far to feel the benefits of the outdoors, just encouraging play in the confined space of a garden can make a difference. Here are ten creative ways you can get your child to enjoy playing outside.
1. Create a child friendly space
First thing you need to do is to create a child-friendly space in your garden. This could simply mean recreating their favourite parts of the playground in your garden such as setting up a tyre swing, building a treehouse or even just setting up a tent. Clear a space for outdoor games and remove spiky plants.
2. Kit them out in appropriate gear
Avoid grumpy faces and mucky clothes by ensuring they always have suitable clothing for outdoor play. Wrap them up warm, and get all suited and wellington booted for a day spent splashing in puddles and enjoying the mud. Encouraging them to get messy with the right gear may inspire them to get outside more. Take a spare set of clothes too when out and about.
3. Try a new sport
If your child would rather be in front of the television than outside in the sunshine, try and spark their interest with a new sport. Try football, badminton, tennis, dodgeball, frisbee and even croquet to encourage them to leave the house.
4. Wildlife watch
With hundreds of national parks around the UK, there's lots of wildlife to discover and spend time searching for. Spot birds, foxes and rabbits as they burrow homes out in the wild and make a game of it with a scavenger hunt. There's nothing more exciting than catching a glimpse of a wild rabbit darting across the grass or a bird feeding its babies in its nest – share this wonder with your little ones.
5. Picnic
Lay a blanket on the grass and settle down together for a homemade picnic. Perfect for a warm Sunday afternoon, you can even create meals in the kitchen together before venturing into the great outdoors for garden games and snacks.
6. Plant and watch grow
For an outdoors activity that lasts longer than one afternoon, plant sunflowers, potatoes or tomatoes. This is also a great opportunity to teach the children about plant life and nutrition – as you nurture and watch the plants grow over time. They'll be running outside to check on their new green friends every day.
7. Build a home
Put your kid's creative skills to the test and let them build a home for animals. Use materials you can find in the garden and create a home suitable for birds, butterflies, hedgehogs, worms, or plant a bumblebee safe haven. You can get starter kits for wormerys and bumble bee homes or make your own.
8. Making perfume with flowers
Not all creative outside activities have to be rough play. Make daisy chains, leaf crowns and get creative with flowers. Making perfume with flowers or flower pressing can be a fun and inexpensive thing to do as a family while still encouraging them to play outside.
9. Scavenger hunt
Find an organised event in your local area or leave clues, create a map and set up your own scavenger hunt. This fun game can be something to get excited about at the weekend and can start in the house before heading outdoors.
10. Chalk hopscotch
Often etched in school playgrounds; the notion of chalking a hopscotch has been around for generations. That's because there's nothing wrong with a chalk hopscotch, in fact, it can be a superb way to get the kids outside if they don't like the mud and encourages them to be active as well. When they get bored of jumping they can stay outside and decorate the patio. Jumbo pavement chalks will keep the kids entertained for ages on your driveway and washes off with the rain.
Try out one of these creative ideas to inspire your kids to play outside and leave the tablets at home!

Hello friends,
Happy Fri-yay! I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a pair of card featuring the Flamingo and Konnichiwa stamp sets.
First up, this simple card using the Flamingo stamp set. I watercolored a simple background and stamped and die cut the flamingos. I colored them with Copic markers and adhered them to the watercolor panel. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and adhered a could clear droplets as a finishing touch.
My second card uses the Konnichiwa stamp set. I stamped the cherry blossom branch on a red card base. Next, I stamped, colored and die cut the darling Japanese girl along with some of her accessories. I adhered her to a panel cut with the Wonky Stitches die and stamped the sentiment on the Wonky Stitches banner.
Well that's all for me today, but be sure to stop by the Avery Elle blog for even more inspiration from the Avery Elle design team.
Thanks for stopping by!

Silverstone was originally opened as a World War Two airfield back in 1943, near the leafy village of the same name. Once world war two had ended in 1945, Britain was left with a fair amount of redundant airfields but without a major race track. Donington Park race track was still a military vehicle storage depot. Brooklands had been sold off, Crystal Palace was in a state of disrepair and Brands Hatch was still under-developed.
The Royal Automobile Club was interested in Silverstone as a potential site for a race track and approached the Air Ministry in 1948 and a lease was arranged. At this time the centre of Silverstone Circuit was a farm producing cereal crops and also a piggery so the RAC employed farmer James Wilson Brown to create the first Grand Prix circuit at the site and gave him just two months to build it.
On October 2nd, 1948, amid straw bales and ropes, Silverstone's first event took place, the RAC Grand Prix. The crowds came in their thousands, thrilled to see the return of Grand Prix racing after so many years of war austerity.
To read more about this iconic Grand Prix Event please go to our history page.
Recently the greatest numbers of wins has been held by Jim Clark from Scotland who died in Hockenheim in 1968 and the renowned French Driver Alain Prost, both totally 5 wins and closely followed by Nigel Mansell with 4 wins. The constructor with the most wins is the Italian car manufacturer Ferrari with a grand total of 15 victories. The fastest lap recorded at Silverstone was 1.29.607 by Lewis Hamilton in the 3rd Qualifying in 2013.
Since 2010 the current actual race lap record for Silverstone is held by Fernando Alonso in a Ferrari in the 2010(race conditions) Championship, the time reached was 1:30.874 with an average speed of 145.269 mph.

Hamilton's plans of making history by taking a record 6th win at the British Grand Prix (even Michael Schumacher only achieved 3 wins) were scuppered when he was taken out by Kimi Raikkonen on the 3rd corner – putting him at the back. Raikkonen received a 10 second penalty for causing the crash.
However, Hamilton drove a remarkable race to which saw him fight his way from the back to finish 2nd. By Lap 10 he was 6th. On Lap 32, Sauber's Marcus Ericsson crashed after failing to activate his DRS quickly enough – this brought out the safety car and most teams took the opportunity to stop for fresh tyres. But Mercedes, whose strategies have been in question lately, stayed out. This proved to be the right choice as Bottas went from 2nd to 1st place and Hamilton 5th to 3rd.
To read more about this great event this year then please go to our report on the Silverstone GP.

2012 Spring/Summer: Cocktail Hour


text: I am making a quilt for my baby who is due later this fall. The block I have chosen is a double friendship star with the center square being a diamond (square on its point). (I don't know if there's an official name for this block). I understand you are supposed to make all the grainlines run the same direction, but how bad would it be to make this one square different from the rest? It woudl be so much easier to just cut a square, then add triangles to the sides (which would make the grain of this square be diagonal), rather than cut a bigger square, cut away the corners, then add the new corners in the correct color. It's hard to explain, but I hope this makes sense. The entire block is 9" finished, so the square in question is less than 3 inches in size. What do you all think? I'm torn. Thanks!

Teacher SourcesMay 06
My Note Games This final app is not in a folder due to the fact it could belong to several categories. Our aim is to guarantee that music and the arts stay an integral discipline inside the core education method in America. There are more than ten specialist orchestras in Australia and a lot of superb component time specialist orchestras and a handful of pro-am orchestras. He was Chair of the Advisory Board of the Asia Education Foundation from 1998 to 2004.
Analysis shows that even extremely young children have a lot to gain from listening to and generating music. I think that this training will aid teachers be effective as option music courses are added to the applications and outreach to non-classic students and students in particular education is improved. He has also been Head of Teacher Education (1988-1989) and Dean of Education (1989-1990) at the University of Tasmania. Choral music can involve large numbers of voices and in Australia is, unsurprisingly, mainly an amateur activity. We have a comprehensive variety of music resources for principal/elementary teachers. Margie Moore has comprehensive experience as an Arts, Education and Music educator and administrator.
We wanted her to have a great preschool encounter, but enrolling her in a private preschool was not an option at the time. Dalcroze Library at Ohio State University maintains a collection of documents, letters, photographs, and books by Jacques Dalcroze, the founder of Dalcroze Eurhythmics. Our Education Advisory Group has commenced investigation in order to renew our advocacy and activities in this space. Organization of American Kodály Educators provides updated information for elementary and middle college teachers.
Categories contain teaching for band, orchestra, and chorus as nicely as subjects related to music education and multicultural music. Jay is a familiar face to many around Australia and is particularly loved by some of Australia's youngest people and their parents thanks to his perform on Play College and as the host of Jay's Jungle Jay is deeply passionate about music for young individuals and music in schools.
Peter Mousaferiadis is a creative and music director, conductor, and producer and has directed big scale intercultural concerts and ceremonies all through Australia, China, the Philippines and Malaysia for customers such as the United Nations, Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions, United Religious Initiative, and made Victoria's Australia Day Concert (2004 to 2013).

Innovation starts with creative minds.
We immerse those creative minds in an environment that celebrates and rewards new thinking and new ideas. Dakota State University is proud to nurture that environment -- to be the catalyst -- for rewarding creation, invention and opportunity for growth.
Research in the College of Arts & Sciences
The College of Arts & Sciences continues to provide leadership in demonstrating the application of technology to the arts, humanities, science, math, music and theatre.
An innovative creation between faculty and students led to a pairing of vocal music with video games in a one-of-a-kind performance for the DSU Music Program.
Art students created a site-specific sculptural installation bridging DSU's rich history and technology mission. Books were the chosen medium for the project as they represent the tradition method of transmitting information, i.e., the printed word. They refer to the education mission at DSU, speaking to the history of the institution. The students chose RGB as the project's theme, using only books from those colors. RGB stands for red, green and blue, the primary colors of light and the color model for electronic devices like tablets, scanners and monitors.
DSU undergraduate students have been commended on their research in the sciences with awards and recognition from NASA South Dakota Space Grant Consortium and the United States Environmental Protection Agency's National Center for Environmental Research.
Research in the College of Business & Information Systems
The key to our success: DSU has some of the best faculty minds in technology, information systems and analytics. We have positioned ourselves as the experts in IT security with recognition by federal agencies, notably the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the NSA. DSU also hosts the annual security conference, DaktoaCon, which brings the nation's best cyber security experts to South Dakota.
Faculty members in the College of Business and Information Systems are building a recognized research portfolio in cyber security, health informatics and data analytics.
DSU is proud to be a national leader in accessible learning as our faculty and staff continue to educate our campus and others around the world about assistive technologies that ensure all students have access to a quality education.
Research in the Beacom College of Computer and Cyber Sciences
The Beacom College of Computer and Cyber Sciences helps students develop computer-based skills and abilities that can be applied in all many varied career fields. Our research agenda includes the following research Areas:
To conduct classified and unclassified Cyber Operations R&D for federal government and private sector partners in the area of vulnerability discovery, software reverse engineering, malware analysis, and software exploitation on the Dakota State University campus, thus generating substantial job growth and economic development in the Madison, SD community and the State of South Dakota.
To conduct research in machine learning and artificial intelligence computing, digital storage, networking, and sensor technologies. These opportunities have made possible research that lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, rehabilitation robotics and machine learning, methods for the automatic generation of content by machine, including specifically the automatic generation of narratives from data, exploring theory as well as application, much of the work on language, speech, translation, visual processing, ranking and prediction relies on machine intelligence
To conduct research in human-computer Interaction, visualization and graphics - advance the interfaces between humans and computers in terms of the presentation of information for human consumption, and the design of technologies that make the use of computers useful, effective, and enjoyable. Key areas of focus include ubiquitous computing, mobile graphic interfaces, collaboration technologies and text visualization
To conduct research in systems, networks and security - Key areas of focus include security in computer networks, data privacy, information systems and high-performance computing Specifically cybersecurity - develop a cyber risk mitigation strategy, including the appropriate legal and compliance steps that need to be taken when responding to cyberattacks and reporting cyberattacks to law enforcement (different types of cyberattacks, the business systems that are most at risk, and the importance of an organization-wide approach to cybersecurity)
To conduct research on the disconnect between the computer science industry and the message girls receive about their ability to succeed in tech organizations, research on computer and cyber applications in K-12 settings, and research on new, innovative projects, workshops, and activities that strengthen excellence in diversity and inclusion in computer and cyber science programs and applications. We are seeing these grant funding innovative projects to deal with computer and cyber sciences students on the autism spectrum, to drive more girls and women into computer and cyber science programs, and to strengthen excellence in diversity and inclusion within computer and cyber science programs.

Metabolites are the products of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that occur naturally within cells. The term metabolite is usually used to describe small molecules, while broader application is often practiced. Depending on the origin and function, metabolites can be divided into two major categories; namely, Primary and Secondary metabolites. BOC sciences provides high purity metabolites to help your innovative research.
Primary metabolites are microbial products produced continuously during the exponential phase of growth and are involved in primary metabolic processes such as respiration and photosynthesis. They include intermediates and end-products of anabolic metabolism, which are used by the cell as building blocks for essential macromolecules (e.g. amino acids, nucleotides) or are converted to coenzymes (e.g. vitamins). Industrially, the most significant primary metabolites are amino acids, nucleotides, vitamins, solvents and organic acids. Many of these metabolites are manufactured by microbial fermentation and isolation instead of chemical synthesis because the fermentations are economically competitive and produce biologically useful isomeric forms.
Microbial secondary metabolites are compounds produced by an organism that are not required for primary metabolic processes, although they can have important ecologic and other functions. Streptomycetes and related actinomycetes continue to be prolific sources of novel secondary metabolites. Microbial secondary metabolites include antibiotics, pigments, toxins, effectors of ecological competition and symbiosis, pheromones, enzyme inhibitors, immunomodulating agents, receptor antagonists and agonists, pesticides, antitumor agents and growth promoters of animals and plants. Secondary metabolites are derived by pathways in which primary metabolites involve. Therefore, secondary metabolites are considered as the end products of primary metabolites.
In drug research, it is clearly the case that the potential for pharmacologically active metabolites must be considered. The occurrence of active metabolites among drugs is frequent, consistent with the notion that small alterations in chemical structure of a drug will not necessarily alter its biologic properties. In the research of new drug candidates, the early identification of active metabolites is of critical importance in developing optimal clinical study designs and correct data interpretation. Active metabolites may possess advantages as drugs themselves (i.e., greater potency/efficacy, superior dispositional properties, improved safety profile), and there are many examples of drugs used in clinical practice that were originally observed as metabolites of other drugs.

Top travel mistakes
We all book holidays and think about ways to cut corners, save time and money and get the best value for money when it comes to having some time away from normality and going on holiday on a budget but you can learn from these top travel mistakes that people do make (and hopefully learn from).
Cutting costs by cutting cover
It is a fact that you can get cheap holiday insurance whether this is for backpacking, going on a cruise, taking a gap year or simply going to Europe for a few days. It is also a fact that by under covering you, your friends or your family on your travel insurance policy, you can be seen as taking a risk. Type in to Google 'lack of travel cover' and you will get nearly 30 million competing stories and I'm betting that quite a few of them will be horror stories, so don't be one of them.
Getting a one way ticket to Vegas
Being an optimist is great; being a realist is even greater. If you are planning a trip to Vegas and have every intention to win it big, live the lifestyle of the rich and famous and hand in your notice to your employer that you won't be needing your job anymore (in fact you won't be needing any job anymore) please make sure that you wait until you have won it big BEFORE you start sending the resignation letters. Also make sure that you build in a contingency plan, including return tickets when you go out to Vegas rather than having to source money just to get back home.
Failing to declare food
There's nothing wrong with wanting to make sure that when you go to America you can have your essentials like tomato ketchup, Marmite, Walkers crisps and Digestive biscuits (they will have these but some people like to make sure they do). Please make sure that you declare these on those little forms at customs. Failing to do so can result in quite hefty fines as well as the items being removed from you and disposed of. No matter how much you love tomato ketchup I'm guessing that you will not want to pay $200 to carry it to the airport and then give it away to be destroyed.
So as a quick roundup of some of the other things to avoid when travelling, consider avoiding the following:
- Carrying something through customs for someone because they can't carry all their items themselves – this is taken very seriously and airport staff are trained to ask you if you have been asked to transport something that is not yours
- Placing fragile and valuable items as well as medication in your luggage because you don't fancy carrying them onto the plane – if your bags get lost, so do your items
- Putting all your favourite makeup/bathroom goodies into your hand luggage and finding out that it's going to be disposed of as all the items are over the allowed millilitre capacity
- Not packing enough clothing thinking you will buy when you arrive and then finding your hotel is in the middle of nowhere
- Over packing your luggage and then having to buy new suitcases to share among the family as this is cheaper than paying the overweight baggage allowance

Today, at 10 a.m., the Newseum will rededicate its Journalists Memorial, which recognizes men and women who were killed while reporting the news. The names of 18 journalists will be added to the memorial to represent all those who died in pursuit of the news in 2017. CBS News foreign correspondent Holly Williams will deliver keynote remarks during the ceremony.
This year, eight of the 18 journalists who will be added to the memorial are women. The Committee to Protect Journalists reports that 46 journalists were killed on the job in 2017, and eight of them — or 17 percent — were women. That marks an unusual increase over previous years, when women represented 7 percent, on average, of the journalists who died reporting the news. Click here to view a complete list of the journalists being added to the memorial this year.
"Some of these women were killed covering news in war zones," said Cathy Trost, executive director of the Freedom Forum Institute. "Others were brutally murdered for reporting stories that challenged the powerful. All the journalists recognized on this memorial this year faced unprecedented dangers as they worked to report the news, often in countries where press freedom is imperiled or nonexistent."
Also today, the Newseum has blacked out its Today Front Pages exhibit as part of its annual #WithoutNews campaign. The social media campaign encourages the public to consider what the world would be like without journalists to report the news, and raises awareness of threats to journalists around the world.
With the addition of 18 journalists this year, the Journalists Memorial bears the names of 2,323 reporters, photographers, broadcasters and news executives from around the world, dating back to 1837.

With fast changing technologies and related human interaction issues, there is an increased need for timely evaluation of systems with distributed users in varying contexts (Pace, 2004). This has led to the increased use of questionnaires, in-depth interviews and focus groups in commercial usability and academic research contexts. Questionnaires are usually paper based or delivered online and consist of a set of questions which all participants are asked to complete. Once the questionnaire has been created, it can be delivered to a large number of participants with little effort. However, a large number of participants also means a large amount of data needing to be coded and analysed. Interviews, on the other hand, are usually conducted on a one-to-one basis. They require a large amount of the investigator's time during the interviews and also for transcribing and coding the data. Focus groups usually consist of one investigator and a number of participants in any one session. Although the views of any one participant cannot be probed to same degree as in an interview, the discussions that are facilitated within the groups often result in useful data in a shorter space of time than that required by one-to-one interviews.
All too often, however, researchers eager to identify usability problems quickly throw together a questionnaire, interview or focus group that, when analysed, produces very little of interest. What is often lacking is an understanding of how the research method design fits with the research questions (Creswell, 2003) and how to appropriately utilise these different approaches for specific HCI needs. The methods described in this chapter can be useful when used alone but are most useful when used together with other methods. Creswell (2003) provides a comprehensive analysis of the different quantitative and qualitative methods and howthey can be mixed and matched for overall better quality research. Depending on what we are investigating, sometimes it is useful to start with a questionnaire and then, for example, follow up some specific points with an experiment, or a series of interviews, in order to fully explore some aspect of the phenomenon under study.
This chapter describes how to choose between and design questionnaires, interviews and focus group studies and using two examples illustrates the advantages of combining a number of approaches when conducting HCI research.

The Navy has seen minor cost jumps following the president's move to place steep tariffs on steel imports, but leaders aren't immediately concerned they'll derail plans to build toward a 355-ship fleet.
"It's something we need to be mindful of, but it's not something [that's] a big driver in current negotiations," Rear Adm. William Galinis, the head of the Navy's Program Executive Office Ships, said at a Navy League event outside Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
Some industry partners have expressed concerns about the tariffs affecting shipbuilding prices, Galinis said, but the change hasn't led to massive cost spikes.
"I think we're seeing some price increases, but ... we're not seeing a big change, at least at this point," he said.
Prices have spiked, according to The Washington Post, since President Donald Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum.
The Navy works to structure contracts in a way that allots for swings in commodities, Galinis said. That's not just true of steel costs but other materials too, such as copper for cables.
Two Democratic Virginia lawmakers warned earlier this year that increased steel prices would affect American shipyards.
Sen. Tim Kaine told reporters in March that "folks at the Pentagon are concerned" about the effects the tariffs would have.
And Rep. Bobby Scott warned that, if the costs of Navy ships rise, "taxpayers will have to pay more."
The Navy plans to increase its current fleet of 280 ships to 355 over the next three decades. It might be able to accomplish the goal sooner by keeping ships it currently has in service longer.
Plans include two new Virginia-class submarines, two new frigates and at least a couple of new cruisers or destroyers, according to a report submitted to Congress.
The Navy currently has 35 ships in construction or on contract, Galinis said. Five ships -- including a new destroyer and an expeditionary staging base -- have already been delivered this year, he added.

text: Share: Comments Print January 8, 2014 at 4:57 PM CES 2014: ATT exec on wearables, 4G cars and more Posted by Brier Dudley LAS VEGAS — The biggest beneficiary of all the "smart" devices appearing at this week's Consumer Electronics Show will probably be the wireless industry. Muscle car gets smart: New Corvettes are getting 4G LTE capability. Cars, watches, fitness trackers and other emerging gadgets are considered smarter because they're getting better brains, in the form of tiny, powerful processors. But to graduate into the upper class of smartness, they have to able to connect and share information over wireless networks. Then there are questions about whether these new devices should connect directly to a cell network or work as extensions of a smartphone, and how much people will end up paying wireless companies to surround themselves with more and smarter gizmos. For perspective on this situation, I interviewed Chris Penrose, head of the emerging devices group at AT&T, which handles non-phone devices that connect to its network. At CES, his group announced a new connected car platform that will be showcased at a new development studio in Atlanta. It's also going to provide LTE capability to GM cars, starting with 2015 models of the Corvette, Impala, Malibu and Volt. Chris Penrose, AT&T Senior Vice President. Image from AT&T. Atlanta-based Penrose started in a Bell call center supporting plain old telephone service more than 20 years ago and rose to senior vice president in charge of the emerging devices business in 2012. Here are edited excerpts of our conversation: Q: What are some of the big things you expect to see at CES this year? A: I think this is really the year you're going to see us moving beyond some of the basic safety security services in the car to a whole bunch of advanced services. From where I sit, it's been this interesting, perfect convergence where the automobile manufacturers have begun to see the value of connectivity for their businesses. Whether you're doing over-the-air updates of the cars, or extracting real-time information out of the vehicle, they've seen that, wow, this car can actually get better over the course of time by continuing to push updates to it. Then you have the consumer side – everyone has smartphones and they are saying 'how can I get my car to do a lot of the things that my smartphone does for me as well?' Q: Not just in the U.S. … A: We provide not only 4G connectivity domestically but we're also offering global solutions. We've got a global SIM chip that you can put in the vehicle. That car can be shipped anywhere around the planet and we can light that up on the local network. Q: Last year there were several international roaming phone-service announcements. Were you simultaneously developing roaming deals for cars? A: Absolutely. We are able to leverage all that work we've done on one side of the business and apply it to new technologies. Q: The situation is confusing for people now – they may have a car locked to one carrier and phone service with another. A: We've got a wide variety of solutions we're offering. If you're an AT&T customer, you're going to have a couple options. You're going to have the opportunity to take that car and put it on a mobile share platform. Just like your tablet or smartphone … you'll be able to take your car and just use it like another device. Q: For an extra $10, $20 or $30 per month? A: We haven't announced our pricing but that will be coming this year. We'll also offer up standalone plans – on a monthly basis, session-based opportunities and multi-year engagements. It comes down to what each automobile manufacturer wants to do. Some are going to include data in the price of the vehicle. Others are going to want to have the consumer pay for some of that data. Q: There's been a lot of talk about U.S. carriers doing overseas acquisitions. Would that be driven by your enterprise business — so you could go to a carmaker and say "we've got you covered in all regions"? A: I won't be able to comment on any acquisition opportunities. What I can comment on is we're definitely seeing the requests coming not only from car companies, but a lot of companies, asking how can you help me out on a global basis with these products. Q: Do you need a global footprint to help work with device makers such as Nokia? A: Everything is continuing to move more and more global as we go forward. We're beginning to see a lot of different technologies [such as], 'We've been working on this car. We'd like to do connected luggage or watches or whatever. Can I use the global SIM as well?" The answer is yes. That's exciting. Now that we've built this capability set, we see there's a huge opportunity to bring this to market in a wide variety of ways across a number of different devices. Q: Wearables are a big topic at CES this year, but they're mostly Bluetooth extensions of your phone and don't directly connect to wireless networks. Will carriers push for more direct connectivity? A: Most of the early on wearables are Bluetooth-enabled. They're going to be leveraging phone or tablet or even hotspot in a car. The question for a lot of the wearables will be, are they accomplishing what you want them to accomplish by connecting to your phone? If you're going to work out, do you want to have to bring your phone along with you with the [fitness watch] device, or do you want a watch that can stand alone, so you can go work out and be able to be reached if you needed to? Everybody's going to be figuring out a lot of things about what makes sense to be tethered off a smartphone, what needs to be standalone, in order to gain maximum value for the customer. I think that's what you're going to see shake out here over the next couple of years. Q: Do you think consumer demand is there for wearables? There is lots of innovation happening, but do people want these things? Are you hearing customers ask for this stuff? A: I think this idea of the "quantified self" is beginning to resonate. Being able to track your fitness and steps and aggregate that up and make lifestyle choices, that is definitely continuing to resonate. Between the applications you've got to be able to track those things on your smartphone, together with the devices, there's definitely a need a need and 'want. This is all on the cutting edge of what is going to make a meaningful difference. I think smartwatches have a ton of opportunity but they've got to solve what the customer wants out of that. We're going to see these things continue to emerge and morph to make them really relevant to each of these different audiences. There's so much that can done, particularly as you start getting into different types of wearables that can track things. Let's say you've got blood sugar issues. If there's something that could detect that type of stuff, where you know you need to be medicated on a regular basis — that's where I think things get really fascinating. You really are helping make someone's life better. That's really what it comes down to. At the end of the day are these things actually helping make your life better and if they are I think you're going to see great needs for them. Comments

Big Al™ - The Custom Analogue Sys Euro-Schroff Case Project
br>Here is today's project. It is now named "Big Al" in homage to forum member "BigAl" as he sold me the 9rU case in the first place & also the sheer size of the thing!
The goal was to graft an ASys RS15 back panel onto the Schroff case. I'd been holding off on doing so, but decided to pull the trigger on 3 Analogue Systems products at the same time. I already owned the EMS Synthi filter as seen in the photo.
(below) Partial Contents of Package
(below) The Rear Panel. About to be installed in the Schroff
(below) First shot at it. FAIL. Many Doepfer-style cables aren't long enough to reach rear of the Schroff case.
(below) Try #2. Much closer and much better. I had to move the support struts forward. I might hack off the rest of the wasted space in the rear, but it isn't in the way at the moment & protects the power cable.
(below) RS290 & RS295 installed and up & running! This is the current configuration. You'll note that the numbers on the screen are blurred. This is due to the internal LFO sweeping the delay time.
br> br>
br>I'm annoyed that I missed out on the 9U Schroff cases. br> br>
br>Did you see my hookup in the 'random ebay' thread?
Not 9u but seriously nice 6u. br> br>
br>D/A A/D
br>DAMN! Nice work dude! br> br>
br>Roycie Roller
br>Nice work Kent. I'd like to hear what your thoughts on the RS-290 are once you've spent some time with it. br> br>
br>Thanks, guys!
I'm discovering that the RS290 & RS295 combo is FAR deeper than I had originally thought. It's very cool & I haven't even explored the MIDI side as of yet. A nice thing is that it will lock to to any incoming pulse.
I was in a rush toward the end of posting the pictures when putting the original post together and completely left out some important information.
The hardest & most time-consuming aspect of this project was dealing with the 3 brands of modules that use the keyed Doepfer-style connectors. Red Stripe down? Red Stripe up? Red Stripe up yer ass? For fuck's sake! I had three different ribbon cables in this lot so I resorted to measuring the pins on the RS15's Doepfer connectors in order to get to the root of the issue. Perhaps this will be of use to others:
Doepfer Male Pins:
1) The 2 columns are in parallel
2) Starting from the top down:
Pin 1 = -12v
Pin 5 = +12V
Pin 6 = 5V
All the rest are 0V although I didn't bother to find out which ones are actually tied to ground. It could be that some are floating.
I never realized that the 'Doepfer Standard' was so variable. That is to say 'non-standardized'. Due to the keying of the female part of the header, sometimes the Red Stripe points to the wrong side. What a PITA.
Thankfully, the RS15 is fused and no modules were harmed in the making of this video. I did blow one of the 12V rails though. Popped in a new 1A fuse and was off to the races. br> br>
br>brandon daniel
br>I've had plenty of time with my 290/295.
The short of it is that there are some drawbacks (the UI is a bit difficult to intuit, and it's expensive), but it really is the most modular delay you can get your hands on, and it sounds great, syncs to everything. If you've got the cash to burn, I highly recommend it. br> br>

Lucile E. Anderson, Emeritus Professor of Teaching, University of Northern Iowa, recognized by countless pupils, student teachers, and colleagues as a master teacher, died in Santa Barbara, California, October 23, 1978.
After attending the schools in Bassett, Iowa, where she was born in 1894, Miss Anderson went on to earn her B. A. at Iowa State Teachers College in 1924 and her M. A. at the University of Chicago in 1927. She completed additional advanced work at the State University of Iowa.
Her earliest teaching was in the rural schools of Iowa, followed by positions in the Bassett, Alta Vista, New Sharon, and Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, schools. Prior to 1930, when she joined the faculty of the Department of Teaching, Iowa State Teachers College, as an elementary supervisor at Hudson, she served as an assistant professor at the State Teachers College, Pittsburg, Kansas. In 1954, she became supervisor of junior high school language arts and social studies in the Price Laboratory School, a post which she filled capably until she assumed emeritus status in 1962.
Lucile Anderson was a highly respected colleague. Deeply committed professionally, she directly influenced the programs of the Department of Teaching by her unique vision, sound educational philosophy, common sense, and careful judgment. Through her conviction that every person is special, she established a rapport with each of her pupils and student teachers that encouraged each to develop his best in behavior and learning. Both students and colleagues were challenged by her skillful techniques, strong academic background, and keen mind. Her influence as a person and as an educator was transmitted far beyond the college and department community by those with whom she worked.
Lucile was a warm, outgoing person, devoted to family and friends. She was a source of joy and support as a daughter, sister, and aunt. Members of this closeknit family feel a deep sense of loss, alleviated by many happy memories. Friends and acquaintances turned to her for guidance, relying on her sound judgment and sympathy. They found in her a delightful companion with an infectious laugh, a dry sense of humor, and a wide range of interests. It was fun as well as a great privilege to be within her circle of family and friends.
To her students, family, and friends, Lucile Anderson left rich legacies.
