What Makes Good Learners
Stephen Campbell
Be the first person to recommend this.
This entry is a sort of melange of different teaching-related ideas that have been circulating in my head for the past few months, but I haven't had a chance to write them down until now. I regularly hold onto news articles and now this blog gives me an opportunity to expand upon some of them. In particular, this somewhat nebulous and inchoate post is directed toward my students. I hope they will read the attached links and take a different and perhaps more idealistic approach to their education. The first link here is about the habits of good learners . Students who are in my class are already exposed to a number of handouts and "tips ...

What is the APD for? The Arabic Papyrology Database is a tool enabling you to access the editions of Arabic documents written on different material such as papyrus, parchment or paper. Those productive editions are an often unraised treasure for almost every aspect of Islamic history up to the 16th c. A.D. The entire texts of all documents in stock (currently 1629 out of about 2,500) are searchable on different layers and with variant readings within the tool 'Documents'. The tool 'Search' allows to investigate linguistic peculiarities. Each document is also provided with its metadata, amongst others place and date of origin or its genre as for instance ...

When I first considered going to graduate school in 1991 I set a seemingly small goal for myself—to be footnoted just once. I shared this odd idea with my father, and while it seemed insignificant, I explained it to him like this. To be footnoted I would have to: enjoy moderate success in grad school, conduct work in an archives, compose a scholarly article or book based on that research, find a publisher to accept my work, pass a peer review process by experts in my field, hold one of my published works in my hand, convince (or force) other people to read my article or book, and impress (or infuriate) people enough to actually cite my work in their own publication. ...

We search constantly for ways to teach students better, to serve our discipline, profession, and the broader public more fully, and to stay relevant in this digital era. I would like to propose one strategy that has the potential to advance our collective capacity on all of these fronts: a new method of digital humanities-informed teaching and learning that I term class-sourcing . This concept adapts the term crowdsourcing, meaning the outsourcing of tasks to a wide group of volunteers, for instance the organization of information best exemplified by Wikipedia. A related but distinct process, class-sourcing consists of two elements, namely having ...

Honda Demonstrates Life Saving Motorcycle Technology
22 October 2008 - In its efforts to improve safety for everyone, especially vulnerable road users, Honda's leading motorcycle to car communication system is being demonstrated for the first time in Europe at the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium event taking place at the Opel Test Track in Dudenhofen, Germany, from 22-23 October 2008.
The system generates warnings to riders and drivers of other vehicles by continuous exchange of positioning data from satellite GPS sources. This is particularly relevant as road users approach intersections, alerting them to other vehicles that are potentially on a collision course, allowing avoidance manoeuvres.
The demonstration will exhibit the interoperability of the Honda life-saving system which facilitates communication with vehicles from 8 other manufacturers.
European research data shows that the majority of accidents involving a motorcycle are caused by perception failures and this system will reduce these failures.
The development of inter vehicle communication is part of Honda's ongoing approach to safety for powered two-wheelers. This approach tackles Preventive, Active and Passive safety. The resulting technologies in the field of preventive safety include the Motorcycle Riding Simulator and the Riding Trainer, both of which are used for hazard perception training. The introduction of the world's first motorcycle airbag on a Gold Wing in 2006 was a landmark in safety. This year's release of the first ever electronically controlled Combined ABS for Super Sports motorcycles provides enhanced braking capability in a wide range of road conditions and a step forward in the field of Active Safety.
Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) Systems Development by Honda
Honda has developed this technology within the ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) programme in Japan, and is currently participating in projects in Europe, Japan and the United States. In Japan, Honda is now in phase 4 of its ASV development. This ASV-4 system uses a wireless communication unit to ascertain the position and direction of cars and motorcycles in relation to each other, and provides drivers with information on approaching vehicles and obstacles on the road. This follows the introduction of ASV-3 technologies in 2005, and ASV-4 has built on extensive research, data collection and collaboration in advanced safety technologies.
What is Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication?
V2V communication rapidly relays information in a simple and concise manner, which supports motorists' and bikers' recognition processes. Information including position, direction and vehicle dynamics coordinates is exchanged between vehicles. Motorcycle riders can safely receive warnings about vehicles near them on a Head-up Indicator Display, and can receive information through an in-helmet audio system, neither requiring them to take their eyes off the road. Drivers can view information on the status of cars and motorcycles in their vicinity and receive warnings on, for example, their navigation system display.
Honda Advanced HMI
The effectiveness of a Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication system largely depends on the HMI concept - the interface between the rider and his machine. Based on extensive research, Honda has developed for the Car 2 Car demonstration a simple, logical and intuitive HMI for faster and easier recognition. Both a visual and an audible warning are provided in safety critical situations. The visual HMI is located on the upper edge of the motorcycle dashboard, as close as possible to the line of vision, enabling the rider to spot the information and warnings easily without actually having to take his eyes off the road. The intensity, colour and the position of the lights provide intuitive information on the seriousness and the location of the danger ahead. To augment the riders' recognition and further specify the hazard ahead, an acoustic warning by means of spoken text is given in the helmet, which is connected by means of Bluetooth® communication link with the on-board system. This advanced HMI contributes to enhanced motorcycle safety.
Motorcycle Accident Characteristics
Motorcycle safety requires special consideration, due to the particular nature of motorcycle accidents. Both the causes and the consequences of these are different to those of accidents involving only cars. The majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by the simple failure of other motorists to detect the presence of a motorcycle on the road until it is too late, or to correctly assess its distance and speed. There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, the front profile of a motorcycle is significantly smaller than that of a car or truck. Not only can it be more easily overlooked, but it can also be obscured by larger vehicles or street furniture. Its smaller size can also be more easily camouflaged by its surroundings. For example, a motorcycle can be completely hidden behind a car's A-pillar for a limited amount of time on the approach to a roundabout.
Secondly, motorcycles are more subject to errors of perception and judgement of distance and speed. This is related to their smaller size and also to certain disadvantageous characteristics of motorcycle lighting systems. Honda is also addressing this through Conspicuity Enhancement Designs, with proven success in helping car drivers to better estimate both distance and speed of motorcycles.
In 1999, an EU funded research project (Motorcycle Accident In-Depth Study or MAIDS) investigated the underlying causes of motorcycle accidents. The researchers were a consortium of partners including, among others, ACEM (The Motorcycle Industry in Europe), FIM and FEMA (rider organisations at international and European level).
Data was collected on 921 motorcycle accidents occurring in 5 European countries. It was found that 88% of the accidents were mainly caused by human error, while 8% were due to external environmental factors such as weather conditions or road infrastructure.
In 37% of cases the motorcyclist was the cause of the accident, while in 50% of cases the driver of the other vehicle was responsible.
A breakdown of this 50% showed that: 72% were so-called 'perception' failures, where the driver failed to see the motorcycle, 3% were 'comprehension' failures (they saw the motorcycle but the brain did not recognize it as such), and 20% were 'decision' failures (they saw the motorcycle but decided to continue with the intended manoeuvre anyway).
The problem of visibility and awareness of motorcycles on the road clearly needs to be addressed.
How can V2V communication help?
The MAIDS research also looked at the most common motorcycle accident configurations. Almost 35% of these were down to two main configurations:
Accidents at an intersection, where the colliding vehicles were following perpendicular paths; Left-turn accidents (right-turn in the UK and Ireland), where two vehicles approach in opposite directions and where the other vehicle cuts across the path of the oncoming motorcycle. In these situations, the V2V communication system may compensate for errors of perception or momentary lacks of concentration.
The system is also being tested in situations where human senses do not necessarily register reliable data. One example is in the blind spot that remains invisible in a rear view mirror check. Another is the approach of an emergency services vehicle where a siren can be heard but determination of its position, speed or direction is difficult. An additional case would occur when a driver sees a motorcyclist in the mirror but has difficulty judging closing speed and distance, especially at night or in poor weather conditions.
Honda and the Car 2 Car Communication Consortium
Honda believes that by demonstrating its advanced safety technologies, a common approach to safety can be achieved for all road users.
The CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium is a non-profit organisation initiated by European vehicle manufacturers, and is open for suppliers, research organisations and other partners. The CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium is dedicated to the objective of further increasing road traffic safety and efficiency by means of inter-vehicle communications.
Honda has been researching Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication systems for more than a decade, both independently and in joint research projects in Japan and the USA. To improve motorcycle safety in Europe, Honda became a full member of the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium in 2005, with the clear objective of integrating the motorcycle within the CAR 2 CAR system. The common objective of the participating bodies is to develop common interoperable standards for all vehicles, including motorcycles, and ultimately to introduce a standard C2C CC system into the European vehicle market.
Honda's own innovations
The research into vehicle-to-vehicle and infrastructure communication systems is yet one more step in the development of new technologies for enhanced comfort and safety. Previous innovations and world-firsts by Honda are, for example, the world's first car navigation system, which can be found nowadays in many vehicles; collision mitigation braking systems which initiate occupant restraints and the brakes in pre-collision situations; lane keeping assist systems in cars in Europe; intelligent night vision systems recognising pedestrians; and the first floating car data system from a car maker in the Honda Internavi navigation system.
Further resources
Honda also fully supports the EU targets for traffic fatality reduction and is well on its way to fulfilling its safety commitments under the European Road Safety Charter. For more information on Honda's safety initiatives, the C2C CC and the Road Safety Charter, visit:

This will be the second year where I have challenged my self to read more. It all started when my husband suggested I should read more after I picked on him for being such a slow reader (a chapter a week). So I took the challenge.
For 2014 I have set the same goal as last year: 52 books – a book a week.
This year I am joining Toni's 2014 Reading Challenge to help me be accountable of this challenge (I almost threw the challenge last year), to share my reading material, as well to help me keep better track of what I have already read.
Reading Challenge 2014: January
Prodigy by Marie Lu // Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
Elixir by Jennifer L. Armentrout // Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
Prodigy and Crown of Midnight are definite must reads.
Prodigy is the second book in the Legend series about a dystopian world where the Republic's prodigy girl, June, meets the nation's most wanted criminal. In Prodigy June and Day are on the run, trying to figure out who they can trust.
Wicked Lovely is a quick read where the normal world intertwines with the faery world. The story evolves around Aislinn who can see the faeries which is dangerous if they find out. Now she is being stalked by Keenan, the Summer King. I really like books about faeries but this one was just Ok. 3 out of 5 stars from me. At first: promising. Ending: blah, uneventful.
Elixir is a novella in the Covenant Series which preludes Apollyon. It is not a necessary read, but gives you extra insight on what is happening on book 4 in the series.
Crown of Midnight is the second book in the Throne of Glass Series. In this sequel we follow the story of Celaena Sardothien after she becomes the royal assassin. Death. Betrayal. Love. Misery. Epic-ness.
Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld // Apollyon by Jennifer L. Armentrout
The Obsidian Blade by Pete Hautman // Black City by Elizabeth Richards
Midnighters received 2 stars from me. I was just not able to connect to any of the characters who call themselves The Midnighters. The premise of the book is that there are actually 25 hrs in the day. During that hour almost everyone is frozen. Only the Midnighters and dark creatures than haunt the shadows can experience this extra hour. Just didn't do it for me.
Apollyon is the 4th book in The Covenant Series that follows Aiden, a pure-blood, and Alex, a half-breed, as they try to safe their race from the Apollyon. Alex is now the second Apollyon and the lives of every living person, hematoi or human, rely on her ability of to keeping Seth from becoming the God Killer. If you like Greek Mythology this is a must read!
The Obsidian Blade was a promising read about time traveling. It was alright until the time travelers stole Jesus's body and healed him and returned him 3 days later. It was definitely not what I was expecting. At the end it felt like it was more propaganda against technology than anything else.
Black City is going to be an epic series! This story takes place in Black City were humans and Darklings co-exist. Yup, this is a book about vampires. Prohibited love. Conspiracies. Cults. This book has it all. Truly recommend it. Even though I tried my best to not read vampire books I think this is a must read!

Pålebrua Bridge
Pålebrua is a so-called utleggsbru beam bridge, constructed from hand-shaped logs. This was a normal way of building bridges in this district, but now only Pålebrua and the bridge over Tora survive here in Skjåk. Many people are surprised how wide and solid the bridge is. On the north side of the bridge there was a mill that was used until the beginning of the 20th century. This was the home of "Pålen" or Iva Pålsen. It is his name that has been lent to the bridge, but the bridge is evidently a great deal older. Oversettelse © www.noproblem.no 2009.

After testing AmazonFresh for nearly five years in Seattle, the online retail giant is set to roll out a grocery delivery service to (at least some of) the rest of us, according to an article from Reuters.
The news agency reported Tuesday that Los Angeles would get AmazonFresh "as early as this week," with the San Francisco Bay Area due to follow later this year.
Assuming that goes well, AmazonFresh is expected to launch in 2014 in "20 other urban areas" nationwide (and some overseas).
Last year, one industry analysis white paper (PDF) from the Hartman Group estimated that "US online sales of food and beverage products are expected to grow to $15.4 billion by 2013."
Other recent analysis has speculated that Amazon's goal isn't necessarily to dominate the difficult grocery delivery market, but rather to develop the infrastructure necessary for same-day delivery of all of its products.
"Our interviews with AmazonFresh insiders suggest that Amazon's internal target for expansion was break-even and that its motivation for investment is more strategic than profit driven," wrote Logan Gallogly, a research analyst at RetailNetGroup, as quoted by Forbes last month.
One recent study even suggests that paying for groceries delivery is, in aggregate, more green than doing all that driving yourself. (Of course, I mostly bike to do my grocery shopping, but hey, not everyone has that luxury.)

Just when you think all creativity is gone from commercial, mainstream artists, a video like this comes along. This video is but one example of the creative approach the band takes to an arguably mature medium like the music video.
The name of the group is Ok, Go. The name of the song is "Here It Goes Again"
The choreography involving moving treadmills reminds me of some of the more unusual and innovative scenes from the movie musicals from the 40s and early 50s, and the symbolism of a treadmill works very well with the song lyrics. I'd love to know how much time it took to set this up, rehearse, and film.
Here's the video:
If you need further proof of this band's innovative vision, here is the video for the appropriately titled, "Do What You Want":

The audacity of some of the more extreme right-wing people never ceases to amaze me. According to this story on PlanetOut.com, Rev. Lonnie W. Latham, a minister in the Southern Baptist church has continuously advocated a resolution calling for gays and lesbians to reject their "sinful, destructive lifestyle," a position which could not be characterized as anything but anti-gay.
Now, this same Rev. Latham was subsequently busted when he asked an undercover policeman to come up to his hotel for oral sex. He was charged with lewdness, a charge which he is fighting. In fact, he has gone as far as to use the Lawrence v. Texas decision to argue that his charge should be dropped, since Lawrence declared all sodomy laws unconstitutional.
Hmm...I'll bet those "activist judges" on the Supreme Court suddenly don't seem so bad after all, do they?

File this one under "It's about time!":
According to this article, greeting card giant Hallmark will debut a set of cards designed for those moments where a person needs a greeting card, but the normal messages won't work.
Hallmark's "Journeys" line will include cards for people going through chemotherapy, dealing with depression, or facing the sudden loss of a loved one. And...(drumroll)...two of the cards will deal with a person's coming out! According to the article, the cards do not specifically mention sexual orientation, but one has the message "Be You," accompanied by a rainbow.
This is a welcome change, since cards that have dealt specifically with events like coming out or more sensitive issues have largely been absent from shelves. More specifically, designers of cards dealing with gay issues often feel the need to include a nude model or something campy. While there is nothing wrong with that type of content, there are times where something more serious and poetic is needed. Plus, there is the issue that one has to find a gay-friendly store or go online to purchase the card, and that is not always practical.
Hopefully, any store that carries Hallmark will also carry the full line of Journeys cards, and this will enable people everywhere to find that card for that special occasion.
My challenge to Hallmark is that now that they have entered this market, let's see some cards that address same-sex relationships. I am one of the people who has had to sort through too many "To My Husband, From Your Loving Wife," cards to find the one card that contains language that is neutral and which doesn't sound trite. A card that simply says "To My Partner," or the like is not too much to ask.
Let's get behind this and support Hallmark in taking this bold step forward!

It seems that President Bush is getting closer and closer to emulating President Nixon, to the point that he is now proposing slashing the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This is a tired oft-used Republican strategy that seems to crop up every time they feel that PBS' and NPR's reporting of political news is too close to telling the truth.
Usually, we hear slogans like "PBS (NPR) is becoming too biased on the left side," which the folks at Fox News grab and run with. Then, the calls for putting more "balanced" (read, "right-biased") programming on the service. Fact is, PBS and NPR are, by design, supposed to be completely free from political influence, and the CPB was designed as a "firewall" to keep the balance in the programming.
The final tactic in the strategy involves threatening to defund the CPB. As someone who grew up with programs like Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, The Electric Company, and Zoom, I can tell you with no sense of hyperbole that they made a significant impact on me. While I understand that we have many priorities the most current budget seeks to address, I refuse to accept that providing quality educational and informational programming to children and adults is not a high priority. I can understand that some may consider an educated and informed public a threat if that educated and informed public also begins (shock, horror) to think for itself. What's next? People actually challenging what they are shown and told to see if it is true? Oh, the humanity!!!!
Cutting the CPB's funding in order to keep funding the military for a failed Iraq war, possible future action against Iran, and possibly something in Venezuela is the wrong choice, and "We, the People" must exercise our sovereignty (we are the sovereigns, not the President) to preserve the important investment in our future that the CPB represents. MoveOn.org is organizing a petition to be delivered to Congress to ask them not to allow the defunding of the CPB. If you support this action, please follow this link to add your name to the petition. While you are there, please pass on the issue to people you know. Let's make a difference for the next generation!

Ok, this is an interesting concept. The guy actually wants to see how many people will call him if he posts his cellphone number on the internet. He shows no sign of stopping any time soon, so let's all give him a call, eh?
Oh, and for his sake, I hope he gets one of the sponsorships this followup talks about.
And, here is a really hot guy who seems to be quite the admirer of Scott...
You gotta love the capabilities of the internet...;-)

President Bush presented the troop escalation as a fait accompli.
Congress has been working to pass nonbinding resolutions that would demonstrate their opposition to the escalation.
Vice President Cheney said that it didn't matter what Congress did, nothing would stop the escalation.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has warned Congress not to stand in the President's way when it comes to fighting the war in Iraq.
It seems that Congress needs to put a few "teeth" into some of these resolutions and start taking positive steps toward bringing an end to this new "national nightmare" in which we have found ourselves.
It seems that "We the People" are going to have to remind our national leaders, Represenatives, and Senators that we are the ones with the ultimate power in this country.
In this spirit, MoveOn.Org is sponsoring a "virtual March on Washington." The goal is to have one million Americans call their Senators to demand that they pass a resolution condemning the escalation of the war. The march happens on February 1, 2007, and everybody is invited to schedule a time in which to call your Senators.
We, the People of the United States of America must remember that if change is to happen, it will rely heavily on us. No Senator, no Representative, no President, no Vice President, and no Secretary of Defense is above the will of the American citizens, and we have to make that will known.
Will you join us by committing to contact your Senators? If so, please click on this link to sign up for a phone appointment. Participation is already heavy, and that is a good sign. We are making a difference, and we all have to do our part. It is within all of us to bring about peace on this planet, and it starts by not escalating wars, then by ending them, and so on and so forth. If not you, then who? If not now, then when? Make a difference today!
Be powerful!

To conserve or convert?
NUS researchers have completed a global study identifying optimal areas for conservation and agriculture in the tropics.
The team, led by Assistant Professor Roman Carrasco from NUS Biological Sciences, examined deforestation activities of more than 50 countries in the tropics between 2000 and 2012 to measure the trade-offs between the benefits provided by tropical forests and its conversion for agricultural use.
The Atlantic Forest in South America, areas around the Gulf of Guinea, and Thailand were identified as areas where the benefits from agricultural conversion outweighed the environmental costs of deforestation. In contrast, Latin America, Madagascar and the islands of Southeast Asia, proved to be economically viable conservation targets because deforestation in these regions derived low agricultural benefits and high environmental costs.
However, on the whole, environmental damage due to tropical deforestation generates large economic losses — $145 billion to $183 billion annually, compared to agricultural gains of only $43 billion to $71 billion annually.
The findings of the study were published in the scientific journal PLOS Biology in July.
Explaining why it is important to identify regions where deforestation is most and least beneficial, Asst Prof Carrasco said, "…it allows us to be more efficient at meeting global agricultural demand without unnecessarily damaging tropical forests and biodiversity. A better understanding of the distribution of benefits and costs will also help in better selection of areas to focus conservation efforts."
Asst Prof Carrasco and his team will be looking into integrating their global map of trade-offs with market models to understand how changes in land use could lead to changes in prices and affect consumers, as well as other indirect impacts on deforestation.

(Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose on Friday as a boost from the heavyweight energy sector helped the market rack up its best weekly performance in nearly two years.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index finished up 44.98 points, or 0.29 percent, at 15,452.64.
For the week, the index was up 2.8 percent in its biggest increase since March 2016, partly thanks due to a strong rally on Monday following last week's global equities sell-off.
The energy group climbed 1.1 percent, boosted for the second day by TransCanada Corp, which advanced 2.3 percent to C$57.61 after it said on Thursday it would go ahead with the expansion of its NGTL natural gas system.
Suncor Energy also helped support the market, gaining 2.2 percent to C$43.36 as the price of oil was boosted by a rebound in global equities. U.S. crude settled up 34 cents at $61.68 a barrel.
But the market's gains were tempered by a drop in gold producers as gold futures fell 0.3 percent to $1,347.70. Agnico Eagle Mines was among the biggest drags on the index, down 3.9 percent at C$54.12, while First Quantum Minerals declined 2.7 percent to C$20.81. [GOL/]
Shares of cannabis companies also came under pressure the day after Canadian government officials said the planned July start date for legalized recreational marijuana was set to be delayed further.
Canopy Growth dropped 5.3 percent to C$26.50, while Aphria Inc slumped 5.5 percent to C$14.06. Aurora Cannabis was among the most actively traded companies, down 6.6 percent at $10.13.
Separately, the province of Alberta said recreational marijuana will be sold in licensed private retail stores to be overseen by a government regulator. The federal government has left the details of how to sell cannabis up to the provinces.
Among the day's corporate earnings, Air Canada rose 1.3 percent to C$24.64 after it reported better-than-expected profit and said it expects a joint venture with Air China to be wrapped up this spring.
The TSX posted 7 new 52-week highs and 4 new lows. Across all Canadian issues there were 19 new 52-week highs and 21 new lows. Volume on the TSX index was 215.29 million shares.

DENVER (CBS4) – Everything is on sale at Saks Fifth Avenue from the mannequins to the cashmere. The store in Cherry Creek is closing in just a little over a week and prices are slashed up to 80 percent.
Even people who have never shopped at Saks before were loading up on the deals. There are some not-so-fancy file cabinets on sale, and naked mannequins must go too.
"These chairs are $25," Cynthia Petrus with Saks Fifth Avenue told CBS4's Suzanne McCarroll.
The store's fixtures are also for sale. And then there are $19 bras. Customers who seldom if ever shopped Saks are stocking up this week.
"I don't know anybody who wouldn't like the prices better now, because it's the same quality merchandise for a lot less," a customer said. "But it's sad to see Saks go."
The designer clothes with the fancy labels are at bargain basement prices since the doors close for good in just a week and a half.
"We're selling out to the walls, we're liquidating everything," Petrus said.

You are here
As I write, the North Bay Fires are still raging in Sonoma and Napa Counties. I know that some of our member associations have been affected, as well as numerous homes, businesses, and lives. The loss is overwhelming, and my heart goes out to everyone in the area.
If you are in a position to help, please consider making a donation to the Red Cross – they are assisting in several shelters in the area.
And if you would like to focus on local organizations, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat lists other ways that you can help:
I know that the HOA communities impacted by the fires will need help. And as the smoke clears, we are working on a list of resources as well as local gatherings to connect boards to critical recovery information and, I hope, to each other: no one should go through this alone.
Losing your home is devastating. But losing your home while being responsible for your neighbors' homes is an incredible burden. I know that ECHO will do what it can to help.
If you or someone you know lives in an HOA that has been affected and has a specific need for information or guidance, please let us know:
I wish safety, comfort, and a speedy recovery to everyone in the North Bay.

About Charm City Cakes
Charm City Cakes was started in March of 2000 when Chef Duff had tired of wandering the country and decided to settle in Baltimore. At first, Chef Duff was just making a few cakes for friends and family, but as word got out about his uncommon creations, business picked up fast. In March of 2002, Chef Duff was getting so inundated with cake orders that he decided to fling off the oppression of his day job and make cake baking his full time gig! He quickly outgrew his home kitchen and two bakeries; in August of 2005 he bought a 6,000 square foot cake compound in Remington. Today, Charm City Cakes has grown to a staff of eleven friends who make cakes, listen to music, and eat a lot of sushi.
Here at Charm City Cakes, we are motivated by constantly trying to outdo ourselves by making cakes that are beautiful, challenging, and as out-of-the-ordinary as possible! Our inspiration comes from everywhere: art, fabric, furniture, architecture, landscapes, science, music, anything! Most of all, our inspiration comes from you! Each cake is individually designed to match you, your personality, and the theme of the occasion you are celebrating.
We only have one rule at Charm City Cakes, and that is whatever we do, we must have fun! Charm City Cakes is a very relaxed, creative environment – and that spirit is reflected in every cake we bake. Our staff is a ragtag group of musicians, artists, and creative souls with experience in architectural modeling, graphic design, sculpture, painting, DJ-ing, coffee slingin', performance art, massage therapy, and waitressing. Our designs are unique, our flavors are unusual and delicious, and our demeanor is chill but professional. Our cakes are all individually baked to order, and every cake is always fresh, never frozen. We have over 40 flavors, and experiment with new ones all the time – - if you don't see it on our list, don't be afraid to ask, 'cause we can probably make it.
There are no limits to what we can do here at Charm City Cakes. You dream it, we'll bake it, you eat it.

With rising demand for reports, CFOs will need to reconsider new approaches to reporting that frees up the finance team's time to be engaged in more strategic-tasks, and provide a myriad of views of data to key stakeholders.

Over the years I have bought, designed, or helped design quite a number of blown film dies. After few go-arounds, it amazed me how often the process of designing a die was treated as "magic," with the thought that only a few anointed "die wizards" could actually do the job. Not so.
That being said, there are a few things these wizards do need to know before tackling your project. And if the one you're working with does not ask for them, find another wizard.
Featured Content
First, a few basics: A die can run one material at one temperature and one output rate perfectly…if it is designed perfectly. To put it more scientifically (it is science, after all), a die is designed for one volumetric throughput of a material with specific viscosity characteristics. If you ask anything more of a die, something will be compromised somewhere. (Of course, some die designs are more forgiving than others).
The first thing your die designer needs to know is what are you planning to run on it, and how fast. This may sound obvious, but sometimes it is not communicated well. It is not enough to tell a designer, for example, that you'll be running an 18% 2-MI EVA with a 1-MI HDPE in a 10/90 layer ratio at 1000 lb/hr. That information alone won't get you the die you need. Rather, the die designer will need the actual rheology curves (tabulated raw data is even better) for the specific resin blends you are running. (Please note: It is the rheology of your blends that counts.) Provide them this rheological data at temperatures that straddle your operating conditions (typically three temperatures).
Always have a confidentiality agreement in place before sharing information with your designer. But if you have a product that is truly super-secret, remember that the designer generally only needs the rheology data, and throughput rates. The designer does not need to know if you'll be running LDPE or LLDPE (though the rheology curves should provide a pretty good idea, in any event).
After you have given your die designer what he needs, there are some things you need to get from him—guarantees. The more general ones are listed here:
- Gauge uniformity: This should be defined up front. Is it two or three standard deviations total range? More importantly, how is it measured? By a micrometer of a given footprint? Every inch? With a beta gauge or a capacitance gauge on the bubble, or in the lab? At a certain speed/width, of data collection? The point is to be clear and specific in writing. This should only concern CD or TD variation, as the die designer has little control over the MD variation of your process.
- Layer Uniformity: Almost all coextrusion blown film dies are actually multiple dies "stacked" together in one manner or another. So each "die" module in the stack must be evaluated on its own. The rules are the same as outlined above. The methods of measuring layer thickness and uniformity are different, but should also be defined up front in writing. When defining layer thickness do not forget to specify volume vs. mass, as there can be a wide range of densities between polymers.
- Output vs. pressure drop and gauge uniformity: This is a good one to test your die designer and his software. When you get the die up and running, how close did he come to his calculated values? No one is perfect, but…. To be fair, when calculating the pressure drop, the rest of the system needs to be subtracted when throughputs are changed.
- Get drawings: The time to get an agreement to have detailed die drawings, both external and internal, is before placing the order. Most die makers will resist giving internal dimensions. (After all, this is the magic.) Sometimes you can get this information if you let them leave out the spiral, or distribution, section. This has worked for me in the past, as the non-distribution areas are my greatest interest as a processor. And if I really want the other dimensions, I can get them (and often have) by measuring them myself.
I recommend taking the die apart when it is first delivered, even though this may be an unpleasant, seemingly unnecessary process. Doing so will give your maintenance people the opportunity to see and learn what will be involved in their future work, and to prepare for it. Plus you can find any defects. And if the die maker refused to supply dimensions, you can get them at this time. (Or, a local machine shop has all the measuring tools and would be happy to do it for you for a marginal fee.)

Asthma can usually be controlled with effective clinical care, appropriate medications, and by following a written asthma action plan. Asthma can, however, be fatal.
The National Asthma Council Australia (NAC) was formed in about 1989, partly in response to the high number of asthma-related deaths at that time. As a result of a wide range of initiatives led by the NAC and in collaboration with many other asthma stakeholders, asthma-related deaths have since fallen dramatically.
Asthma-related deaths in Australia have now dropped from a peak of 964 in 1989 to less than half that number today. Yet every asthma death is a tragedy, and people of all ages must continue to take asthma seriously.
In 2018, asthma caused the deaths of 389 Australians.
For a detailed breakdown of the 2018 statistics, please download the ABS Customised Report 2018.
For data across the previous decade, please view the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) report: 3303.0 Causes of Death Australia, 2018
Note: Asthma-related deaths are shown under the codes Asthma & Status Asthmaticus (J45 & J46).
In 2017, asthma caused the deaths of 441 Australians. For a detailed breakdown of the 2017 statistics, please download the ABS Customised Report 2017.
Due to changes in ABS reporting, comparative analysis of these figures with earlier data is no longer possible. A report for 1960 to 2008 can be downloaded here: Asthma deaths 1960-2008 update
Detailed asthma statistics and analysis are available from:

ACAM aims to assist in reducing the burden of airways disease in Australia by developing, collating and interpreting data relevant to the prevention and management of chronic airways diseases as well as health policy.

text: The City of Westlake, Ohio, got an interesting 'wake up call' in 2006, when a sanitary sewer interceptor line in nearby City of Lorain failed dramatically. "It forced the evacuation of several dozen homes for months," says Westlake Director of Engineering Robert P. Kelly, PE, "and we realized we'd better take a closer look at our system, because we have a similar interceptor arrangement in Westlake," he explains, "and our pipe is about as old as theirs." The interceptor in question was built in the 1960s and runs from west to east along Westlake's northern limits, increasing in size from 36-inches to 60-inches. Dozens of 18-inch to 24-inch trunk lines, serving the entire city, drain northerly into the interceptor. The arrangement is efficient and has many advantages. But there are a few weaknesses as well; for one thing, a failed interceptor could affect all of Westlake. "There are about 70,000 people depending on our system," says Kelly, "We simply could not allow a problem to develop."

Ethnography by Leanne Dunic (Canada)
Poet Leanne Dunic and her mentor Alvin Pang@INSTINC SOHO
Leanne Dunic (Canada)
26 & 27 April 2014, INSTINC SOHO
Text by Lim Jia Ning Michelle
Ethnography opens with a reading. The multi-disciplinary artist Leanne Dunic has invited her Singaporean mentor, writer Alvin Pang, as a guest reader. He picks up a sheaf of papers and assumes the part of a fortune-teller. He takes her hand, traces the lines on her palm, and re-animates the telling for us, their captive audience.
The poetry transports us to that moment in time where Dunic had her fortune read in Chinatown. This sense of immediacy is a testament to her skill at rendering the characters who've moved through her life (as well as evidence of Pang's secret flair for playing wise soothsayers).
All around us, Dunic's poems sway gently, papers suspended on red string. Turn a corner and you come face to face with an oversized sheet of words. Her words interject the space. Following the chronology that she has inscribed into the space through string, we trace her autobiography.
Works such as "In Transit" and "Slow Sensational" mark out the way Dunic's ethnic identity influences the way the world makes sense of her (and vice versa). The poems distil her life experiences into moments at once thoughtful and wryly humorous.
"If you wear this print of peonies,/ people may call them cabbages." Dunic's story is one in which her own mixed ethnic identity is perpetually thrust up against the more straightforward cultural boundaries that others are used to.
But in turning these unwarranted commentaries from strangers on planes – "There is no nose like yours in Asia – maybe in India" – into poetry, Dunic begins an ethnographic project of her own, in which these passing comments become touchstones through which Dunic understands the people around her.
In this Ethnography, the mapping of identities is then not so cursory as the colour of one's skin, or the pattern on one's cheongsam. Rather, it becomes a self-reflective pursuit in which one takes in the world and reflects it back at itself.

After the initial in-class experience and a visit to one of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) field centres, it's time for students to put their new environmental knowledge to work by taking on an ACTION PROJECT, whether at school or in the community.
Students may generate an idea of their own as a class.
Follow one of our action project lesson plans, or check out the action project planning section (pages 13-16) of our program guide for teachers.
Connect with field centre staff to find out about action projects that other classes have undertaken.
Team up with one of the local environmental organizations listed below, or with other eco-groups in your community, and participate in one of their programs.
Looking for an informative introduction to action projects? The Region of Peel's Environmental Action Guide explores the concept and provides a wealth of advice and insight on creating successful action projects with your students.
