Microsoft Demonstrates Windows-based Devices at Computex 2014
Wednesday during a keynote address at Computex, Nick Parker, Microsoft corporate vice president responsible for Microsoft's device partnerships, unveiled nearly 40 new Windows and Windows Phone devices and hinted at a new partnership with HTC.
Parker hinted that HTC is preparing to return to Windows Phone. He said that Microsoft is working with Taiwanese smartphone maker on a new Windows project, but declined to give any details.
"I'd love to break some news here if I could," said Parker, responding to a question about device partners. "But instead I'll just say that Microsoft will continue to have a great relationship with HTC. New things are coming, so get excited."
The smartphone is expected to be the rumored W8 device, cming on Verizon soon. A few days ago @evleaks revealed HTC is preparing to launch a W8 Windows Phone 8.1 device on Verizon in Q3. It's claimed that the W8 is a mid-range handset that could take advantage of Windows Phone 8.1's new on-screen button support.
HTC has not launched any Windows smartphones since June 2013, when it released the 4.3-inch HTC 8XT running on the Windows Phone 8 platform.
At the same event, Parker was joined during his keynote by Tony Prophet, who talked about how recent Windows enhancements including $0 Windows for devices smaller than 9 inches, relaxed certification requirements, the release of Windows 8.1 Update, Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows universal apps all make building Windows devices easier for a broader ecosystems of hardware partners. He talked about the value of Microsoft cloud services across devices and shared the latest momentum:
- 2 billion Skype minutes per day
- 4.4 million Office 365 Home subscribers
- 400 million active Outlook.com users
- 250 million OneDrive users
- 48 million Xbox Live members
- 18 percent share of U.S. search market for Bing
He also announced that Kabam, a leader in free-to-play games, will deliver its lineup of hit games to Windows tablets and phones over the next year, including "Fast & Furious 6: The Game," "Dragons of Atlantis: Heirs of the Dragon" and "The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth." Moving forward, Kabam games will be available for Windows in the same timeframe as for other platforms.
Nick Hedderman, group manager in the Windows Product Management team, demonstrated the latest capabilities in Windows 8.1 Update and Windows Phone 8.1, showing improved mouse and keyboard navigation in Windows and enhanced notification, personalization and file management options in Windows Phone. He finished the demo with a look at Cortana, Microsoft's new personal assistant on Windows Phone, and spoke about its upcoming availability in both China and the U.K.
Parker had nearly 40 brand-new devices on stage, including all-in-ones, laptops, 2-in-1s, tablets and smartphones. He gave the first sneak peek of Toshiba's 7-inch tablet that will be available in the coming months at a value-driven price point and unveiled the HP Pro x2 612 2-in-1 that is packed with business-ready capabilities. He demonstrated numerous tablets from Microsoft's partners in the China technology ecosystem in Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai, including Haier, VIDO and Luckystar. Parker also showcased smartphones from BLU, InFocus Corp., Prestigio and Yezz.


text: ikester7579 16 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 I often see ministries copyright everything they do. I can see a reason for books. But videos, sermons, and pics? You see copyrights make it to where one has to "buy" what God has "given" you as a gift to reach others. Does anyone remember why Christ got mad when he went into the temple where the money changers were? They were selling sin atonement at such a high price the poor could not afford it. Therefore sin atonement was more for middle class and the rich. When we copyright material that can be put on the web, can be shown in churches, etc... To where it cannot be shown. And may not reach others. We are saying that salvation comes at a price, and unless you can pay that price. My gift God has given me to reach people cannot be experienced by you. So either pay up, or do without. So is salvation a free gift, or should we pay for it? Case and point: Kent H*vind (CSE ministries) did not copyright material and encourage people to make copies and pass them around. Because of this, people all around the world were able to see his message. And this happened in just a few years of his ministry operating. His material to this day is passed around and still brings people to Christ. But what if he copyrighted all of it and did not allow anyone to see it unless they paid for it? What if he did not allow people to copy it and pass it around? Regardless of what we may think about H*vind and what he did, he is responsible for getting the YEC message out there more than any other ministry I know of. And that is one of the reasons so many evos hate him. and even though he is in jail, his message is still alive and it urks the evos that it still has a strong effect on people. Now think about the world wide effect if every ministry did this? If their material was made available to anyone to use and post on the internet as well as other places. Now why is this important? The reason it seems one side is winning the debate and conversion of people. It's because even though they copyright their material, our tax dollars make sure everyone gets taught their ideas, while that does not happen for us. So to compete on the same level we have to also make this information available to everyone who wants it. And how we do it is make it as free and accessible as their stuff is. Example: My site has over 40 gigs of available bandwidth per month. I average only 10 gigs per month. So I offered to host one of the files from CSE for their down load page so my bandwidth would be used instead of going to waste. They told me that not only was that not enough just for one file. That doing that would slow up my site because they get several people at one time downloading. And it's more like 40 + gigs per week per file. This shows that there is a need and want for the information, because even though H*vind is not running the ministry. The need of his files, and his ministry meeting that demand, is touching 1000's everyday. So if other ministries did this, and allowed their sermons and teaching material to be downloaded and passed around. How many more would be reached? But what about the money ministries make from copyrights when they sell stuff? This would be considered one of the tests that a ministry must go through. Even though it will not make as much money, the ministry would have to rely more on God to provide for them to operate. Now what does God's word say about relying on Him more and on yourself less? Case and point: Even though CSE ministries went through many things because of what H*vind did, including almost losing all the property. When they asked for the money to save the land, God made sure they got it. So instead of having the money on hand because of money made through copyrights, CSE ministries allowed God to intervene and God came through. So should salvation be the free gift, or do we become the money changers which deny it to those who cannot afford it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A complement describes a verb's argument (subject or object) more closely:
1. Sir George is a knight. (Subject complement)
2. The Queen made Sir George a knight. (object complement)
Notice that you can put "a knight" in the object slot, in 2.:
3. The Queen made a knight of Sir George.
Notice that it is possible to read sentence 2. in such a way that "a knight" is, in fact, the object of the sentence. In that case, "Sir George" gets demoted from direct object of the sentence to indirect object of the sentence. The meaning of the sentence changes quite drastically. It now means:
4. The Queen made a knight for Sir George.
Because of what we know about the world, reading sentence 2. in a way that it means the same as sentence 4. is very unlikely, but grammar allows it.
So, in summary, the sentence # 2 could mean:
2. a The Queen (Subject) made Sir George (direct object) a knight (object complement).
2. b The Queen (Subject) made Sir George (indirect object) a knight (direct object).
So, I'm quite curious how to analyse a sentence like:
5. We changed train at Victoria station.
so that "train" is a complement. What does it complement? Since this sentence has no object, "trains" would have to be a "subject complement". But I don't see that.
It might be an "adverbial complement"?
I'm not sure myself.

Pokémon (ポケモン Pokemon?, pronunciation: /ˈpoʊkeɪmɒn/ poh-kay-mon) is a media franchise published and owned by Japanese video game company Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996. Originally released as a pair of interlinkable Game Boy role-playing video games developed by Game Freak, Pokémon has since become the second-most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's own Mario franchise. Pokémon properties have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2006, and as of 28 May 2010, cumulative sales of the video games (including home console versions, such as the "Pikachu" Nintendo 64) have reached more than 200 million copies. In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pokémon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the Pokémon representation agreement. Pokémon USA Inc. (now The Pokémon Company International), a subsidiary of Japan's Pokémon Co., now oversees all Pokémon licensing outside of Asia.
The name Pokémon is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?), as such contractions are quite common in Japan. The term Pokémon, in addition to referring to the Pokémon franchise itself, also collectively refers to the 649 fictional species that have made appearances in Pokémon media as of the release of the fifth generation titles Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. "Pokémon" is identical in both the singular and plural, as is each individual species name; it is grammatically correct to say "one Pokémon" and "many Pokémon", as well as "one Pikachu" and "many Pikachu".
The concept of the Pokémon universe, in both the video games and the general fictional world of Pokémon, stems from the hobby of insect collecting, a popular pastime which Pokémon executive director Satoshi Tajiri enjoyed as a child. Players of the games are designated as Pokémon Trainers, and the two general goals (in most Pokémon games) for such Trainers are: to complete the Pokédex by collecting all of the available Pokémon species found in the fictional region where that game takes place; and to train a team of powerful Pokémon from those they have caught to compete against teams owned by other Trainers, and eventually become the strongest Trainer: the Pokémon Master. These themes of collecting, training, and battling are present in almost every version of the Pokémon franchise, including the video games, the anime and manga series, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
In most incarnations of the fictional Pokémon universe, a Trainer that encounters a wild Pokémon is able to capture that Pokémon by throwing a specially designed, mass-producible spherical tool called a Poké Ball at it. If the Pokémon is unable to escape the confines of the Poké Ball, it is officially considered to be under the ownership of that Trainer. Afterwards, it will obey whatever its new master commands, unless the Trainer demonstrates such a lack of experience that the Pokémon would rather act on its own accord. Trainers can send out any of their Pokémon to wage non-lethal battles against other Pokémon; if the opposing Pokémon is wild, the Trainer can capture that Pokémon with a Poké Ball, increasing his or her collection of creatures. Pokémon already owned by other Trainers cannot be captured, except under special circumstances in certain games. If a Pokémon fully defeats an opponent in battle so that the opponent is knocked out (i.e., "faints"), the winning Pokémon gains experience and may level up. When leveling up, the Pokémon's statistics ("stats") of battling aptitude increase, such as Attack and Speed. From time to time the Pokémon may also learn new moves, which are techniques used in battle. In addition, many species of Pokémon possess the ability to undergo a form of metamorphosis and transform into a similar but stronger species of Pokémon, a process called evolution.
In the main series, each game's single-player mode requires the Trainer to raise a team of Pokémon to defeat many non-player character (NPC) Trainers and their Pokémon. Each game lays out a somewhat linear path through a specific region of the Pokémon world for the Trainer to journey through, completing events and battling opponents along the way. Each game features eight especially powerful Trainers, referred to as Gym Leaders, that the Trainer must defeat in order to progress. As a reward, the Trainer receives a Gym Badge, and once all eight badges are collected, that Trainer is eligible to challenge the region's Pokémon League, where four immensely talented trainers (referred to collectively as the "Elite Four") challenge the Trainer to four Pokémon battles in succession. If the trainer can overcome this gauntlet, he or she must then challenge the Regional Champion, the master Trainer who had previously defeated the Elite Four. Any Trainer who wins this last battle becomes the new champion and gains the title of Pokémon Master.

Last month, I had the pleasure of attending the American Spirits Bartender Competition, hosted by the National Constitution Center and the Hotel Monaco. The event was, in part, to celebrate the National Constitution Center's exhibit, American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of the Prohibition, which perfectly portrays the dynamic history, trends, and sprit of the Roaring 20s.
The competition took place at the Hotel Monaco's Stratus Rooftop Lounge, a posh yet cozy venue with terrific views of the city.
The competition featured bartenders from XIX, 10 Arts, Square 1682, and the Stratus Lounge, all showcasing a different Prohibition-themed cocktail. Nate Churchill of XIX (pictured above) won the competition with his Orange Blossom cocktail, featuring Bluecoat gin, fresh lemon and orange juice, honey, and bitters, served up in a mason jar.
Chauncey Scates, of Square 1682, offered the Powder Room Punch, which mixed Bluecoat gin, cointreau, Jasmine Tea, lemon, grenadine, and dashes of Peychauds and Angostura bitters on the rocks. The cocktail was very earthy and fruity, with a pretty coral color.
Bess Gulliver (pictured at top) represented the Stratus Lounge with the Jazz Baby, made with Bluecoat gin, Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth, Pierre Ferrand Dry Orange Curacao, and Averna Amaro, garnished with a flamed orange peel. The drink reminded me of an Old Fashioned, but with gin instead of whisky.
Stephen Diaz of 10 Arts served my personal favorite cocktail of the evening. Featuring Bluecoat gin, St. Germaine, fresh raspberry syrup, and a splash of Dry Brut champagne, the drink tasted like an effervescent raspberry sorbet. The St. Germaine, an elderflower liquor, added a lovely floral finish.
The competition was certainly a success. Thanks to the National Constitution Center for inviting me. And be sure to check out their exhibit, American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of the Prohibition, where you can learn all about the history and culture of the Prohibition era and channel your inner flapper! The exhibit runs through April 28, and admission is free on Sundays.

Hey check this one out. Today Jim bungee jumped off a bridge, (his last day of filming apparently).
His girlfriend tells him to jump off a bridge, so he does. Doesn't he look cute?
Did anyone see Ella Enchanted? This movies reminds me of that. In Ella Enchanted, she had to do everything that she was told. I guess it's the fairy tale version of Yes Man.
Anyways, the video of this event is coming soon -- so watch for it

Good-Bye Kit8/26/2011 11:02:00 PM Edit This 4 Comments »
Five and a half years ago I brought this little guy home from the pound...
along with this fuzz ball. I named them Kit & Kaboodle and they've been together ever since.
That is until Monday when Lexie & I returned to the house after being gone for about 3 hours. Since it had been raining on and off that day I had keep them inside. So as soon as I pulled into the garage I went inside to let them out. They both greeted me at the gate and I got the usual lick on my hand from Kit as I let them go outside to do their business. I went back to the garage to help Lexie out of her car seat. It didn't take more than a minute. She ran upstairs and I told her I would let the dogs in then feed them before I joined her. As I was walking back towards the slider, I notice Kit was laying on the patio with his head against the slider..... as I got closer I noticed his tongue was hanging out and very blue. When I opened the door he didn't get up or move his body but his eyes followed me. I knelt down to hear him take a gasp of air....then nothing. I was talking to him and tried to see if he had something in his throat but he took another gasp of air and I knew he was in real trouble. I grabbed my phone to call the vet and told Kit to hang on . Sadly he couldn't. I called to Lexie to get back in the car as I pet him and I think he took his last breath. But I couldn't give up so I managed to get his limp 55 lb body into the back of the car for the 40 minute ride to the after hours vet. I knew it was too late. As I drove I told Lexie that I was pretty sure Kit had died and gone to heaven to play ball with Jet (my sisters dog who had just passed away a couple of months ago.) Lexie, God love her, turns to look at him in the back of the car and said "No Mommy, Kit's right here." Out of the mouths of babes.
Needless to say the vet couldn't help Kit. He thinks it was a heart attack or brain aneurysm because of how fast it was and the fact that he was fine literally a minute before he died. So we had to return home without Kit to a Kaboodle that was frantically looking for her brother, partner in crime and best buddy. She's still looking for him every time we come home and I have to admit, so am I.
I hadn't realized how much Kit was MY dog until he was gone. He was ALWAYS in the same room that I was in. I mean, I would find myself tripping over him at least once a day. I would get out fo the shower most mornings to find Kit curled up on the rug next to the tub. The dog followed me everywhere. Kaboodle is much more Lexie's dog. She lets Lexie put hats and crowns and bows on her but Kit would have none of that. He just wanted to be with me when I was home and with Kaboodle when we were gone.
Here is the last picture of him just before we went on vacation this month.
You will be missed Kit!

Inaugural Stevens Awards Gala Celebrates Honorees in Style
More than 350 faculty, staff, alumni and friends of Stevens turned out in New York City on April 6 to attend the first annual Stevens Awards Gala and celebrate the accomplishments of 13 remarkable honorees.
Beneath the gorgeous, vaulted ceilings of Gotham Hall, attendees viewed a video about Stevens' past, present and future, then settled in for dinner and the presentation of the awards — which have existed since 1937 and featured a number of newly created honors for the inaugural gala. Honorees were feted for accomplishments in a wide range of fields, including satellite technology, computer science, chemistry, telecommunications, entrepreneurship and academics. Several awards also recognized extraordinary personal contributions to Stevens and to society at large.
"Tonight we honor the very best,'' said Stevens President Nariman Farvardin, introducing the festivities. "I hope you will all be as impressed by each awardee as I am."
"Honoring outstanding people from Stevens is a great tradition, and I hope tonight's event will be the just the beginning," agreed Joe Weber '64, chair of a Joint Awards Committee that selected the award winners from more than 125 nominations worldwide. "When Dr. Farvardin came to Stevens, he immediately mentioned how many great people have Stevens degrees and that we should honor these great graduates. All of these individuals have used technology to help raise the standard of living in our world.''
The 2013 Stevens Awards included the Friend of Stevens Award, a non-alumni award given to Robert D. Somerville; the Outstanding Contribution Award, given to John Schepisi '65; the Young Alumni Achievement Award, given to Mark Biamonte '01; the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr., Entrepreneur Award, given to David Hershberg, M.M.S. '68; the Distinguished Alumni Award for Academia and Government, to Dr. William Destler '68; the Distinguished Alumni Award for Business and Finance, given to Gina Addeo '86; the Distinguished Alumni Award for Engineering, given to William E. Witowsky '79; the Distinguished Alumni Award for Science and Technology, given posthumously to Mark Crispin '77; the Distinguished Alumni Award for Extraordinary Community or Humanitarian Service, given to John Hovey '57; the Lifetime Service Award, given to Warren Wells '42 (who received the award off-site on an earlier date); the International Achievement Award, given to Tony Wang M.M.S. '73; and the Stevens Honor Award, given to Dr. Norman N. Li, Sc.D. '63; and the President's Leadership Award, given to Dr. Lawrence Babbio, Jr. '66, outgoing Chairman of the Stevens Board of Trustees.
Schepisi thanked his family for unwavering support, and emphatically thanked Stevens.
"I credit Stevens with everything I have in my professional life," said the prominent attorney, who sits on the Stevens Board of Trustees and has long served as a partner in his Englewood Cliffs legal firm. "I request of everyone here: please give of your time, give of your money, so other students can benefit the way I have, the way you have."
Hershberg, a satellite expert who also holds degrees from Columbia University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, noted that the education that he received at Stevens was the most impressive of the three, because professors with actual industry experience had taught his graduate courses.
Annie Li, a longtime companion of Crispin (who passed away in December 2012), traveled from Washington State to accept the award in his honor. She spoke of how proud he would have been to attend.
"He always thought that after he passed, no one would remember him,'' Li said of Crispin, who authored the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) that transformed email worldwide. She spoke about Crispin's love of the outdoors. "With his favorite dog (who also recently passed away), he is now traveling the Northern Lights of Alaska."
Hovey, who served on hospital and YMCA boards of directors in Paterson and also helped establish and improve several schools in that city, spoke of his great debts to Stevens and his former classmates.
"I received a lot of help while an undergraduate," he said. "I was not at the top of my class and it was a struggle for me to stay at Stevens, but my classmates really helped me. Persistence, when times are tough, was taught to me at Stevens.''
Weber read a statement from Wells, who was unable to attend, in which the award winner noted he had received a scholarship to attend Stevens in 1938 and has repeatedly given back to the university and its students ever since in thanks.
Wang, a path breaking franchiser of American restaurants in China, traveled farthest for the evening: all the way from Taipei, Taiwan. Wang noted that he held many happy memories of Stevens, including his marriage and first son during the time when he lived on campus in a student residence. Wang praised his Stevens education.
"In my whole life, the best investment was going to Stevens," he explained.
Li, a leading chemist who is now CEO of his own firm in the Chicago area, said he was surprised when he received notification of the Honor Award. He had not revisited campus for almost exactly 50 years since graduating — until the night before the gala.
"I couldn't believe it,'' he said prior to the ceremony. "It is a great honor to receive this award.''
Li added that the award held special significance, as 1963 both marked his graduation year from Stevens and the year in which he had been married.
"The school has changed so much in that time. I'm so happy the school is doing so well. Dr. Farvardin told me not to wait another 50 years before I come back again,'' he chuckled.
The awards portion concluded with the presentation of the President's Leadership Award to Chairman Babbio, who will be completing his final term as Chairman of the Board of Trustees in June. Virginia Ruesterholz '83 will replace him.
After a brief video, in which members of the Stevens community thanked Babbio for his years of dedication and generosity, the Chairman took the stage to a rousing ovation. A surprise announcement followed: the main campus road leading up from Ninth Street to the Howe Center has officially been renamed Babbio Drive, complete with a street sign.
"I've always said that no one individual should accept a leadership award. In this institution, it is not just me, but the Board of Trustees, the President, the Provost, and the faculty,'' said Babbio. "I am so comfortable leaving and having Virginia in this role. I know that Stevens is on its way to an even better future.''
The evening concluded with an after-party and dancing.

University of Vermont
Matthew H. Buckham (1871 - 1910)
Matthew Henry Buckham, the second alumnus to serve as president, was born on July 4, 1832, in Hinckley, Leicestershire, England. Buckham's father was a clergyman who brought his family to America in 1834 and preached in Chelsea, Vermont, before moving to other parishes. Matthew Buckham entered UVM at the age of fifteen and graduated valedictorian in 1851. Following graduation, he served as principal of Lenox Academy in the Berkshires. He spent two years studying at University College, London, before he returned in 1856 to UVM where he was appointed to the chair in Greek while also serving as a professor of rhetoric and English literature. The following year he married Elizabeth Wright of Shoreham.
When Buckham was elected president on July 6, 1871, few realized he was destined to serve for thirty-nine years, the longest term in the university's history. UVM had realized great progress under President Angell, but Buckham still faced a number of difficult problems.
Although enrollments had risen, only sixty-five undergraduates were enrolled when he became president. On August 1, 1871, the trustees passed a historic vote when they resolved "women may be admitted to the academic and scientific instruction under such rules and regulations as the faculty shall recommend." It would be misleading to imply that low enrollments were the only factor that led UVM to become one of the first eastern colleges to admit women. Trustee Justin Morrill was an outspoken advocate of the democratization of higher education, and Presidents Angell and Buckham supported the admission of women. Lida A. Mason and Ellen E. Hamilton, the first two women to enroll at UVM, were both elected as the first women members of Phi Beta Kappa when they graduated from the university in 1875. Two years later George Washington Henderson, an African-American, graduated from UVM in the class of 1877. He later served as professor of Latin, Greek, and ancient literature at Wilberforce University in Ohio.
The controversy over the agricultural college was still simmering among many farmers who felt the university was not fulfilling its commitments under the Morrill Act. Actually, the main problem was a lack of student interest in the agricultural program. Although the State Agricultural College had been established in 1865, no students had applied for the agricultural course by the time Buckham became president in 1871. In addition, UVM was experiencing difficulty recruiting faculty for the new program because few had as yet been trained to teach courses in the agricultural sciences. As Dean J. L. Hills later pointed out, the term "agricultural college" was a misnomer since the Morrill Act had been passed "for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts." Most of the students had enrolled in engineering courses, and the agricultural program was moribund.
The farmers began to vent their dissatisfaction in 1874 when three members of the State Board of Agriculture attacked the university, but it was not until 1886 that the state helped to establish an Agricultural Experiment Station at UVM. In 1888 funds from the Hatch Act were used to buy a 110-acre farm in South Burlington for teaching and research. However, leaders of the State Grange kept sniping away at the university for not doing enough. The issue reached a climax in 1890 when a group of Rutland residents pledged fifty thousand dollars for the Agricultural and Mechanical College "if the same is located permanently in the town of Rutland."
During the 1890 session, a "divorce bill," designed to separate the State Agricultural College from The University of Vermont, was debated in the state legislature. The bill passed the House 152 to 67 but was defeated in the senate by an 18-to-12 vote. The great legislative battle of 1890 marked the end of attempts to establish a separate agricultural college, and henceforth the university increased its efforts to mend fences with the farm community.
A winter course of free lectures for farmers was sponsored with conspicuous publicity. President Buckham opened the series with a formal address to the assembled group, which was followed by a talk on "The Horse's Foot and Its Care."
If the agricultural college conflict provided the pyrotechnics for the Buckham administration, the building boom that took place during his presidency shaped the face of the present-day campus. Riding the crest of an economic upsurge in the lumber industry, the population of Burlington expanded during the Buckham era from 13,500 in 1870 to 20,500 in 1910. In 1883 the Old Mill was renovated, and this marked the beginning of a period of major building on the campus, which included the construction of Billings Library (1885), the engineering buildings (1891), Williams Science Hall (1896), the gymnasium (now Royall Tyler Theatre; 1901), the College of Medicine building (1906), and Morrill Hall (1907). The Centennial Woods area, Chittenden Farm, and Grassmount Hall were all purchased (the latter to serve as a women's dormitory). Other buildings constructed or purchased included Converse Hall, Commons Hall, and three houses for the faculty.
Additional funds were secured to increase both the library and museum collections and to establish five new faculty chairs: the Pomeroy Professor of Chemistry (1878); the Howard Professor of Natural History (1881); the Flint Professor of Mathematics, Natural, or Technic Science (1895); the Converse Professor in Commerce and Economics (1899); and the Thayer Professor in Anatomy (1910).
Many stories accumulated over the years about President Buckham. One of the classics involved his 1896 summer visit to Scotland and England where he delivered a lecture at Oxford University. When he was introduced to one of the Oxford dons as the president of The University of Vermont, the don responded, "I have been there. I have traveled extensively in various parts of the world, and I have seen many beautiful places, but there is only one view I have ever seen that is finer than the western view from the tower of the University of Vermont." President Buckham, in a delighted tone of voice, said, "I should like very much to know what the other view is." "Well," the don replied, "it's the eastern view from the tower of the University of Vermont."
During Buckham's tenure as president, the faculty increased from fourteen members to more than eighty. In 1899 the trustees voted to assume full control of the medical department, and in 1909 the home economics department was created, and UVM hired its first woman faculty member, Bertha Terrill. Tuition rose from $45 in 1870 to $110 in 1910 when a total of five hundred students were enrolled at the university. John Dewey '79, UVM's most famous graduate during this era, paid tribute to the senior-year philosophy course he took from President Buckham. By 1904, the centennial anniversary of the first graduating class, nearly seventeen hundred students had graduated in the arts and sciences, including William A. Wheeler '34, who served as vice president of the United States from 1877 to 1881; 22 members of the United States Senate and House; 4 governors; 14 college presidents; 554 schoolteachers; 287 clergymen; 183 physicians; and 96 college professors. More than thirteen hundred of these graduates contributed to the university's centennial fund, which reached $500,000 in June 1910.
President Buckham's first wife, Elizabeth Wright, raised a family of five children before she died in 1886. In 1897 he married Martha G. Tyler of St. Johnsbury, and they had a daughter in 1904. When Buckham died on November 29, 1910, at age seventy-eight, he had served The University of Vermont for fifty-four years. The Buckham family recently established a fund for students majoring in English to perpetuate the memory of the man who played such a critical role in guiding the university's growth.

The workshop was held in the capital city, Djibouti. UNCTAD experts discussed the main findings and recommendations of a recently completed Investment Policy Review (IPR) of the country. Government officials, business and civil society representatives, and officials from the Djibouti offices of the United Nations Development Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization attended.
UNCTAD carries out IPRs at the request of developing countries. The Djibouti review provides a comprehensive assessment of the country's investment-related policies, laws, and overall institutional "context" related to investment. It also assesses the character of past foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to Djibouti and analyses their impact in terms of economic and social development. Based on Djibouti's development objectives, the IPR provides a strategy for attracting greater investment.
Considering the country's unique geostrategic location, the report advocates greater "customization" of investment promotion for priority sectors such as transport, logistics, fishing and tourism. It also urges an optimization of institutional resources, notably by strengthening the national investment promotion agency.
In addition, the IPR calls for a streamlining of the institutional procedures for investment promotion in Djibouti. It recommends in particular that a high-level platform be set up for discussion between the public and private sectors on investment matters.
Ilyas Moussa Dawaleh, Djibouti's Minister of Economy and Finance, opening the workshop, thanked UNCTAD for the report, whose analysis and recommendations will contribute to designing solutions for reducing unemployment in Djibouti. He underscored the importance of adopting a modern investment code, along with other efforts to create a climate that will allow the business sector in Djibouti to flourish.
The presentation of the IPR was followed by an extended discussion. Participants welcomed proposed measures for improving investment treatment and protection and expressed support for specific proposals to make taxation friendlier for small and medium-sized enterprises. Other topics discussed included land legislation, environmental regulation, and governance issues related to investment.
In closing the meeting, Mahdi Darar, Director-General of Djibouti's National Investment Promotion Agency, expressed gratitude to UNCTAD for what he called "a very useful exercise which will contribute to improving the country's investment promotion capacity."
The IPR is the first step of a programme of technical assistance that is intended to help the country more effectively use foreign direct investment to achieve its development goals. UNCTAD will continue providing support to the Government of Djibouti as it implements the recommendations in the report.

Groves (2005) lists 14 species in the genus Galago. However, the taxonomy of
the genus is frequently disputed and revised in the literature. Often,
Lorisiform species are difficult to differentiate from one another based on
morphology alone partially due to convergent evolution, and they themselves
recognize their conspecifics by more subtle means (Nekaris & Bearder 2007).
As a result, taxonomies of the species within Galago, or even within the
Galagidae are often based on a number of lines of evidence, including studies of
vocalizations, genetics and morphology and older citations will use outdated
taxonomies which conflate species now split out of one older one
(see Nekaris & Bearder 2007 for a review). Further, some
researchers include the smaller species of bushbabies
under a different genus Galagoides, and the squirrel bushbabies under the genus
Sciurocheirus, but here, Groves (2005) is followed. Thus, when the term
bushbaby is used, it is meant in reference to members of the genus Galago as
defined above.
In general, bushbabies are small, woolly, long-tailed primates with mobile,
oversized naked ears (Kingdon 2004). Different species of bushbaby are
sometimes indistinguishable even if compared side by side and their diversity is
not entirely explainable anatomically (Perkin 2001; Bearder 2007). In addition,
even within individual species and populations, there is often significant
variation in coloration and body size, as is the case with G. alleni (Ambrose
2003; Kingdon 2004). As a result, it is often difficult to describe the pelage
color of species individually and in some cases attempts at identifying
morphological characteristics distinguishing them have focused on other less
apparent traits, such as penis, hand and hair morphology as well as relative
body size (Anderson 1999; 2001; Bearder 2007; Perkin 2007; Vinyard 2007). The
pelage of the bushbabies varies over the parts of the body as well as between
species. In general, pelage coloration can range anywhere on a spectrum between
black, brown, and grey to white, ranging from brown to yellowish, with greenish,
reddish, and orangeish tints and combinations of those colors in various schemes
(Nash et al. 1989; Honess & Bearder 1996; Kingdon 2004). However, the
ventral surfaces are usually lighter than the rest of the body (Ankel-Simons
2007). Some species have a nasal strip while others have dark rings around the
eyes (Nash et al. 1989; Kingdon 2004). The ears can move independently of one
another and are, proportionate to body size, the largest among the primates.
Bushbabies possess a toilet-claw and have a moist nose (Ankel-Simons 2007).
Bushbabies are small primates ranging in average mass by species from 70 to
314 g (2.5 to 11.1 oz), with G. alleni the heaviest on average with G. demidoff
and G. rondoensis the lightest on average (Nash et al. 1989; Olson & Nash
2002-2003; Butynski et al. 2006; Perkin 2007). Head and body length averages by
species range from 19.9 cm to 12.9 cm (7.8 to 5.1 in), again with G. alleni the
largest and G. demidoff and G. rondoensis the smallest (Nash et al. 1989; Olson
& Nash 2002-2003; Butynski et al. 2006; Mittermeier et al. 2007). The tail
is longer than the body (Olson & Nash 2002-2003).
In the austral spring, G. moholi exhibits a heavy molt (Bearder &
Martin 1980).
In the wild, quantitative data on bushbaby locomotion is limited. However, based on this limited sample,
bushbabies (G. moholi) primarily move through their environment by quadrupedal movement
(19.8%), leaping (54.1 %), hopping (2.9%) and climbing (16.8%) (Crompton 1983).
G. thomasi moves through quadrupedalism (35%), climbing (13%), vertical clinging
and leaping (14%), leaping (23%) and bipedal hopping (15%). G. matschiei moves
through quadrupedalism (13%), climbing (13%), vertical clinging and leaping (19%),
leaping (31%) and bipedal hopping (25%) (Off & Gebo 2005). The use
of different types of locomotion is variable, with some species moving almost
exclusively through leaping between vertical supports (G. alleni), while others
mostly quadrupedally run and jump (G. zanzibaricus) (Charles-Dominique 1977a;
Courtenay & Bearder 1989; Harcourt & Bearder 1989). Some species land
hindfeet-first, while others are unable to do so and may land on their front
limbs or on all fours (Harcourt & Nash 1986; Nash et al. 1989; Kingdon
2004). Leaps can cover significant distances, up to and sometimes greater than
2.5 m (8.2 ft) (Charles-Dominique 1977a; Butynski & de Jong 2004). When
leaping directly between trees is impossible due to the distance between them, some bushbabies may hop
terrestrially between supports (Butynski & de Jong 2004).
In captivity, bushbabies can live into their mid-teens (Harvey & Clutton-Brock 1985;
Ross 1988).
In general, bushbabies are found over most of sub-saharan Africa, ranging
from Senegal east to Somalia and down to South Africa (excepting its southern
extreme) and are present in almost every country in between (Nekaris &
Bearder 2007; http://www.cites.org). However, there are great differences in
their extent and distribution by species. G. demidoff and G. senegalensis have
among the largest distributions, each being found in over ten nations, while
other species are only found in a single country, such as G. orinus and G.
rondoensis which are both only found in Tanzania (http://www.cites.org;
Mittermeier et al. 2007). Further, there is significant range overlap among the
bushbabies and in some cases, several species are sympatric.
(Nekaris & Bearder 2007). Generally speaking, G. alleni, G. cameronensis,
G. gabonensis, and G. matschiei are found roughly in central Africa, while G.
gallarum, G. granti, G. nyasae, G. orinus, G. rondoensis, and G. zanzibaricus
are found in the eastern parts of the continent. G. moholi is found in central
and southern Africa, while G. demidoff, G. senegalensis, and G. thomasi are more
widespread (http://www.cites.org).
Partially owing to the wide distribution of the genus as a whole, bushbabies
are found in a great variety of habitats and ecological zones which are often
very different from one-another and vary widely in climate. Bushbabies may be
found in deciduous bushland and thicket, evergreen, semi-deciduous, and
deciduous forest, open bush, savannah, riverine bush, forest fringe, open
woodland, steep-sided valleys, rainforest, lowland forest, mixed woodland,
forest edge, semi-arid areas, cloud forest, coastal forests, woodland, thickets,
groundwater forest, submontane and montane forest, gallery forest, littoral
forest, hilly woodlands, species-rich woodlands and degraded and secondary
forests including mosaics of mixed agriculture (Crompton 1984; Nash et al. 1989;
Ambrose 2003; Bearder et al. 2003; Butynski & de Jong 2004; Butynski et al.
2006; see Bearder et al. 2003 for a partial review of habitat preferences by
species). Bushbabies are present from the coast up to montane forests at an
altitude of around 2000 m (6561.8 ft) with some reports placing G. matschiei at
2800 m (9186.4 ft) above sea level (Butynski et al. 1998; Ambrose 2003; Ambrose
2006; Butynski et al. 2006). G. gallarum can be found in the driest, thorniest
habitats of not only the bushbabies, but of any other primate (Nash et al. 1989;
Butynski & de Jong 2004). G. orinus is found only in montane forests
(Butynski et al. 1998).
Like other aspects of bushbaby ecology, strata preference is variable between
species (see Bearder et al. 2003 for a review of strata preference by species).
However in general, G. senegalensis, G. gallarum, G. moholi, and G. matschiei
tend to utilize all strata within their habitat, while the other members of the
genus prefer to use a single stratum (Bearder et al. 2003). Within its
rainforest habitat, G. alleni is found predominantly below 5 m (16.4 ft) and
prefer the open understory to move through the forest (Charles-Dominique 1977b;
Ambrose 2003). For resting and the parking of young individuals, however they
prefer dense lianas (Ambrose 2003). G. gallarum spends much of its active cycle
between 1-7 m (3.3-23.0 ft) above the ground, while G. thomasi prefers levels of
the canopy above 10 m (32.8 ft) above ground level (Ambrose & Perkin
1999-2000; Butynski 2004).
In some habitat areas the climate varies seasonally (Charles-Dominique 1977a;
Crompton 1984). At one study site of G. alleni in Gabon, annual rainfall
averages 170 cm (66.9 in), most of which falls over only a third of the year,
split between two rainy seasons between September-December and March-June,
punctuated by dry seasons. Temperatures on an annual basis range from a maximum
around 30°C (86°F)to a minimum of around 20°C (68 °F)
(Charles-Dominique 1977a). Elsewhere, at a study site of G. senegalensis in
South Africa, annual rainfall averaged just 61 cm, with temperatures ranging
from -5 to 38°C (23 to 100.4 °F) over the course of the year, varying by
as much as 25°C (45°F) in a single day (Crompton 1984). The effect of
the winter cold in more extreme habitats in South Africa can sometimes be
severe, causing seasonal weight loss due to food scarcity in addition to
frostbite damage to tails (Bearder & Martin 1980).
While the proportions in the diet vary across not only species but seasons as
well, in general, omnivorous bushbabies predominately consume roughly three
types of food in various proportions and combinations; animal prey, fruit, and
gum (Charles-Dominique 1974; Molez 1976; Charles-Dominique 1977a;
Charles-Dominique & Bearder 1979; Bearder & Martin 1980; Harcourt 1986b;
Harcourt & Nash 1986; Nash & Whitten 1989; Nash et al. 1989;
Gonzalez-Kirchner 1995; Ambrose 2003; Butynski & de Jong 2004). Across the
species for which long-term data are available, bushbabies consume animal foods,
especially invertebrates (25-70%), fruit (19-73%), gum (10-48%) and nectar
(0-2%) (data compiled by Nekaris & Bearder 2007). Animal food items that
are consumed consist mostly of invertebrates, especially arthropods, but frogs
are also consumed by some species (G. alleni) and some authors suggest that
bushbabies might also consume other prey, including eggs, chicks, and adult
small birds as well as newborn small mammals (Charles-Dominique & Bearder
1979; Crompton 1984; Harcourt & Nash 1986; Gonzalez-Kirchner 1995; Ambrose
2003; Butynski & de Jong 2004). Not all species of bushbaby consume fruit,
and some consume exclusively gums (especially from Acacia trees) and arthropods,
especially during drier times of the year when fruit may not be available
(Bearder & Martin 1980; Crompton 1984; Nash & Whitten 1989; Butynski
& de Jong 2004). It is suggested that gums are an important resource for
bushbabies as they are not seasonally limited in their availability and in the
case of G. senegalensis, gum is a staple during the winter (Bearder & Martin
1980; Crompton 1984). However, some populations eat only fruit and
invertebrates, particularly in areas where exudates are not available (Harcourt
& Nash 1986). In G. alleni, when compared between primary and secondary
habitats, the species eats proportionally more insect prey and less fruit in
degraded forests as opposed to primary forests (Molez 1976). Ants are caught by
G. alleni by waiting by a trail of the insects and grabbing them with their
hands while other bushbabies may pounce on larger invertebrate prey from above
(Ambrose 2003; Butynski & de Jong 2004). When pregnant or lactating, more
fruit is consumed by female G. alleni (Molez 1976).
Bushbabies are nocturnal and spend their nights resting (4.5%), traveling
(25%), foraging (63.9%), engaged in social activities (5.9-18%) and in other
activities (0.6%) (G. moholi) (Doyle & Bearder 1977; Nekaris & Bearder
2007). G. gallarum and G. moholi spend the majority of their time foraging
for food (although traveling predominated in at least one captive study of G. moholi)
(Bearder & Martin 1980; Crompton 1984; Butynski & de Jong 2004). Activity starts right around sunset and ends
around dawn with the most active periods are right after dark and directly
preceding dawn (Molez 1976; Doyle & Bearder 1977).
The nocturnal activity period of G. moholi has been described
sequentially as toilet activities after waking, movement to a food tree,
feeding, movement and foraging, rest, movement and foraging, feeding or rest,
movement to a feeding tree, and toilet activities at the end of the day (Doyle
& Bearder 1977). Before commencing its nightly activity, G. alleni and G.
moholi will extensively groom themselves before exiting the sleeping site
(Doyle 1974; Charles-Dominique 1977a). Further, the activity period is
punctuated by periods of rest during which bushbabies do not sleep
(Charles-Dominique 1977a).
In the more extreme environments inhabited by bushbabies, such as certain
parts of South Africa where the winter cold can be profound, bushbabies will
increase feeding time and shorten time spent in other activities to help cope
with the limited availability of food (Bearder & Martin 1980). At these
times of the year, bushbabies may curtail their nightly activities and return to
their nests very early to huddle (Bearder & Martin 1980).
Home range is variable among the species of bushbaby and varies from 0.005
and 0.5 km² (0.002 and 0.2 mi²) with females generally ranging over somewhat of
a smaller area than their male counterparts (Charles-Dominique 1977a; Doyle
& Bearder 1977; Bearder & Martin 1980; Nash 1984; Harcourt & Nash
1986; Harcourt & Bearder 1989; Pimley et al. 2005; Nekaris & Bearder
2007). Among individuals there are overlapping home ranges (Doyle & Bearder
1977; Bearder & Martin 1980; Nash 1984; Harcourt & Nash 1986; Pullen et
al. 2000; Nekaris & Bearder 2007). Day range averages 2.1 km (1.3 mi) per
night in G. senegalensis and varies between approximately 1.5 and 2.0 km (0.9
and 1.2 mi) per night in G. zanzibaricus (Doyle & Bearder 1977; Harcourt
& Nash 1986). A greater availability of moonlight results in greater
movement over the course of the night (Nash 1986). During the mating seasons,
G. moholi males increase their home range (Pullen et al. 2000).
The different species of bushbaby vary in their preferences of sleeping site
types (see Bearder et al. 2003 for a summary). G. zanzibaricus, G. granti, G.
matschiei, G. alleni and G. gabonensis prefer to sleep in tree hollows while G.
demidoff either builds fully enclosed leaf-nests or sleeps in vegetation tangles
(Struhsaker 1970; Charles-Dominique 1977a; 1977b; Bearder et al. 2003). G.
orinus also predominantly sleeps in nests it has constructed (Bearder et al.
2003). G. senegalensis sleeps in dense vegetation, may build nests, in forks
and branches in trees, may use old bird's nests and unoccupied beehives, and
will also sometimes use tree hollows (Haddow & Ellice 1964; Doyle &
Bearder 1977). Old nests are reused, even if they were not built by the
bushbaby in question (Bearder et al. 2003). G. senegalensis and G. moholi can use more than a
dozen different sleeping sites within its home range during a year (Bearder
& Doyle 1974a). G. gallarum has not been seen to construct nests, but will
sleep on branches and in dense vegetation (Butynski & de Jong 2004). G.
thomasi will sometimes build sleeping nests inside of unoccupied chimpanzee (Pan
troglodytes) nests (Llorente et al. 2003). Some species are generalists and
will sleep wherever is suitable and may build nests as well (Bearder et al.
Potential predators of bushbabies include mongooses, genets (Genetta spp.),
jackals (Canis sp.), felids (Felis sp.), domestic cats and dogs, raptors
(especially owls), and snakes (Bearder et al. 2002; Mzilikazi et al. 2006). In
addition, several primates, including Grey-cheeked mangabeys (Lophocebus
albigena), blue monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis) and chimpanzees prey on
bushbabies, with chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) sometimes fashioning tools to
help do so (Butynski 1982; Poulsen & Clark 2001; Byrne 2007; Pruetz &
Bertolani 2007).
The ranges of different bushbaby species overlap often with up to four
species of bushbaby sympatric at any given location. Lesser bushbabies may also be
sympatric with two species of potto (Perodicticus sp.) and/or two species of greater bushbabies (Otolemur sp.) (Nekaris & Bearder
2007). In Africa, up to 8 sympatric species of nocturnal primate, including bushbabies, can be found
at a specific location (Bearder 1999).

This document revisits concepts from
Securing Your Data, incorporating the
auth variable to create a complete solution for securing our data.
Integrating Authentication
Firebase Authentication integrates with the Firebase Realtime Database to allow you to control data access on a per-user basis.
Once a user authenticates, the
auth variable in your
Realtime Database Rules rules will be populated with the user's information. This information
includes their unique identifier (
uid) as well as linked account data,
such as a Facebook id or an email address, and other info. If you implement a custom auth provider,
you can add your own fields to your user's auth payload.
This guide explains how to combine the Firebase Realtime Database Rules language with authentication information about your users. By combining these two concepts, you can control access to data based on user identity.
auth Variable
The predefined
auth variable in the rules is null before authentication takes place.
Once a user is authenticated with
Firebase Authentication,
it will contain the following attributes:
|The authentication method used ("password", "anonymous", "facebook", "github", "google", or "twitter").
|A unique user id, guaranteed to be unique across all providers.
The contents of the Firebase Auth ID token. See the reference
documentation for
auth.token for more details.
Here is an example rule that uses the
auth variable to ensure that each user can only
write to a user-specific path:
{ "rules": { "users": { "$user_id": { // grants write access to the owner of this user account // whose uid must exactly match the key ($user_id) ".write": "$user_id === auth.uid" } } } }
Structuring Your Database
It is sometimes helpful to structure your database in a way that makes writing security
rules easier. As an example, one common pattern for storing user data in the Realtime Database
is to store all of
your users in a single
users node whose children
are the
uid values for every user. If you wanted to restrict access to this
data such that only the logged-in user can see their own data, your rules would
look something like this:
{ "rules": { "users": { "$uid": { ".read": "auth != null && auth.uid == $uid" } } } }
Working with Authentication Custom Claims
For apps that require custom access control for different users, Firebase Authentication allows developers to
set claims on a Firebase user.
These claims are accesible in the
auth.token variable in your rules.
Here is an example of rules that make use of the
hasEmergencyTowel custom claim:
{ "rules": { "frood": { // A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar // hitchhiker can have ".read": "auth.token.hasEmergencyTowel === true" } } }
Developers creating
their own custom authentication tokens can optionally
add claims to these tokens. These claims are
avaialble on the
auth.token variable in your rules.
Revisiting the Chat Example
Let's build on the chat example from Securing Your Data and add in some user authentication, pulling all of these concepts together into a working app:
{ "rules": { "room_names": { // any logged in user can get a list of room names ".read": "auth !== null", "$room_id": { // this is just for documenting the structure of rooms, since // they are read-only and no write rule allows this to be set ".validate": "newData.isString()" } }, "members": { // I can join or leave any room (otherwise it would be a boring demo) // I can have a different name in each room just for fun "$room_id": { // any member can read the list of member names ".read": "data.child(auth.uid).exists()", // room must already exist to add a member ".validate": "root.child('room_names/'+$room_id).exists()", "$user_id": { ".write": "auth.uid === $user_id", ".validate": "newData.isString() && newData.val().length > 0 && newData.val().length < 20" } } }, "messages": { "$room_id": { // the list of messages for a room can be read by any member ".read": "root.child('members/'+$room_id+'/'+auth.uid).exists()", // room we want to write a message to must be valid ".validate": "root.child('room_names/'+$room_id).exists()", "$message_id": { // a new message can be created if it does not exist, but it // cannot be modified or deleted // any member of a room can write a new message ".write": "root.child('members/'+$room_id+'/'+auth.uid).exists() && !data.exists() && newData.exists()", // the room attribute must be a valid key in room_names/ (the room must exist) // the object to write must have a name, message, and timestamp ".validate": "newData.hasChildren(['user', 'message', 'timestamp'])", // the message must be written by logged in user "user": { ".validate": "newData.val() === auth.uid" }, // the message must be longer than 0 chars and less than 50 "message": { ".validate": "newData.isString() && newData.val().length > 0 && newData.val().length < 50" }, // messages cannot be added in the past or the future // clients should use firebase.database.ServerValue.TIMESTAMP // to ensure accurate timestamps "timestamp": { ".validate": "newData.val() <= now" }, // no other fields can be included in a message "$other": { ".validate": false } } } } } }

I realized that I hadn't written a post about the Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Vermont, and that I should introduce you all to the place since I have my first class there this coming Sunday. Yestermorrow School is a design/build school that focuses on hands-on teaching and sustainable building practices. They offer workshops that range from 2 days to 4 weeks (and they have a sustainable building semester program with UMass Amherst). Topics range from Green building materials, woodworking, and tiny house building workshops, to architectural design and drawing courses and stained glass making workshops. I found out about them last year and when I read their "Philosophy" statement I was SO HAPPY to find a place that shared my values exactly. All last semester I had been talking about closing the gap between designers and builders, and wasn't really getting any support in doing that. So I left my college for some time to attend Yestermorrow for the next year, through their Sustainable Design/Build Certificate program. Basically with the certificate program (and they offer certificates in other subjects too) you choose a handful of week-long, 3-week long, and weekend workshops from a long list of amazing classes. I chose the certificate over the semester program because of the flexibility and that way I could work on The COMET at the same time. I've heard the workshops are really intense and totally awesome, and that a 3 week workshop feels like an entire semester. I'm about to find out!
Anyway, here's their philosophy you you know what I mean:
"Yestermorrow's courses are specifically designed to demystify the designing and building processes using hands-on, experiential learning to teach students the art and wisdom of good design and the skill and savvy of enduring craftsmanship as a single, integrated process.
This creative process offers students unique insight into the oftentimes disparate worlds of the architect and the builder. Architects are routinely trained without any building experience that might inform their designs, and builders are trained to execute without a sense of the overarching purpose or design of the project.
Combining design and building offers numerous advantages and promotes the creation of intentional and inspired buildings and communities that enhance our world. From the professional design/builder to the do-it-yourself design/build homeowner, every designer should know how to build and every builder should know how to design. This philosophy sets Yestermorrow apart from other educational institutions."
There you have it. I was in love!
Anyway, this coming Sunday I go up to VT for my first workshop – a 5-day intensive called "Solar Electric Design and Installation". Just in time, too, because I just bought 3 solar panels! I specifically chose workshops that would help me with the skills associated with designing/building/making the COMET. Once I take this workshop, I'll be able to install my own photovoltaic system, and show you all how I did it step by step!
Also, if you haven't seen it already, you should check out this video of the tiny house that the Semester program just built/finished. It is gorgeous!! (see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5mD3iwOb2w)
I encourage you to check out the Yestermorrow website and browse through their courses to get an idea of how awesome the place is. When you attend a class there, you can either stay in the main building, stay in a cabin, or just camp out. I'm really excited! Hopefully at some point I'll be able to stay in the COMET when I'm up there!
Also, on the topic of workshops, I just signed up for the recently announced Tumbleweed Tiny House building workshop in Boston on May 19th and 20th, with Jay Schafer and fellow Massachusetts tiny house guy Deek Diedricksen. I'm really looking forward to it. Personally, I think the Tumbleweed houses are a little too traditional for my style (what can I say – I like recycling junk and using used materials!), but I'm looking forward to building one! Is anyone else planning on going to the Boston Tumbleweed workshop?
