Heritage Center Manager, to book a special tour or for extended
holiday hours: email@example.com)
The Hannibal Square Heritage Center is a perfect destination for out of town visitors, whether you are visiting with a group or on your own. Here are the resources you need to plan an engaging workshop at the center, design a custom tour of the center, the neighborhood and the surrounding area, plan catered meals or reserve
a table or event at top-rated restaurants and partner hotels in Winter Park:
Winter Park is a town of 21,000, with a railway that divides the "east side" and the "west side" and until the 1970s, was the dividing line between "black" and "white." Gentrification and new development has redefined Hannibal Square, where the Heritage Center now stands like a guardian to celebrate the past and preserve what is left of the west side community. In 2009, Winter Park was ranked 38 out of 100 best places to visit by National Geographic Traveler magazine. It is the strength and presence of Winter Park's cultural organizations and sites—including the Heritage Center—that caused the city to name itself "The City of Culture and Heritage" in 2007. Everything a visitor could want, except a theme park, is close by—within walking or a short driving distance.
The Heritage Center is located in the heart of Winter Park's historic African-American west-side neighborhood, across the street from the children's splash park and the Community Pride Mosaic Mural, great restaurants, and boutique shopping on Hannibal Square, and is five blocks from nearby Park Avenue and the SunRail and Amtrak stations.
Winter Park is home to many cultural attractions, including Crealdé School of Art and Sculpture Garden, Winter Park Public Golf Course, Casa Feliz Historic Home and Museum, Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, Cornell Fine Arts Museum and the Bach Festival Society at Rollins College, Albin Polasek
Museum and Sculpture Gardens, Winter Park Historical Museum and
Farmer's Market, The Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour, and more.
The Heritage Center is also minutes from a dozen Black Heritage Trail sites including the Zora Neale Hurston Fine Arts Museum in Eatonville (home of writer and folklorist Zora Neale Hurston and first incorporated African-American city), the Wells' Built Museum in Orlando, the historic river city of Sanford, and other inspiring cultural attractions, including Loch Haven Park's Orlando Museum of Art, The Mennello Museum of American Art, Orlando Repertory Theatre, the Orlando Science Center and the Orlando Shakespeare Theater. Also nearby are Harry P. Leu Gardens, which features an interior and exterior extensive public art collection, and several other public art locations.
The 3000-sq.- ft. facility accommodates up to 50 people for tours. Ample parking is available across the street. There are two meeting rooms: one with a maximum capacity of 15 and the other accommodating as many as 25 with tables and 40 for theater-style seating.
The small kitchen is designed to accommodate catering, but not cooking; it has a refrigerator,
ice-maker, microwave, coffee makers and coffee and tea dispensers, warming dishes, basic serving trays, but no oven or dishwasher. Beer and wine are allowed inside the facility only.
For availability, please contact Heritage Center Manager, Cyria Underwood at firstname.lastname@example.com or
(407) 539-2680. (The Heritage Center is not available for weddings.)
For restaurant and catering partners and local tourism information, visit our Resources page.
This three-hour package includes a walking tour of the Hannibal Square neighborhood with a community historian and a tour of the Heritage Center and its exhibitions and an interactive workshop with anthropologist Dr. Ron Habin on the subject, "Your Photographs Tell Your Story." Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Suggested Donation : $600
Planning lead time: 30 days
To accommodate visiting groups of 25 to 75 students, grades 4 through 8, the Crealdé programming staff can create a customized experience at the Heritage Center. To facilitate the necessary planning and secure the appropriate teaching professionals, Crealdé requires a 60-day lead time. For more information, please e-mail Executive Director Peter Schreyer at firstname.lastname@example.com and reference "Heritage Center Workshop for Children" in the subject line.

ED95, SEKAB's biofuels for heavy goods vehicles, is a proven alternative to diesel fuel with low emissions and great benefit to the climate.Read more and watch the movie
ED95 makes heavy road transports climate friendly
The transport industry is facing diesel shortage and the threat of climate change requires immediate action. The increasing heavy road transport must switch to renewable fuels.
ED95, SEKAB's ethanol-based biofuel for heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses, is a proven alternative to diesel with small local emissions and very large benefits for the climate.
Kyl & Frysexpressen runs on second-generation ethanol
To clients with particularly high standards on reduced carbon emissions, SEKAB also provides ED95 made from from second-generation ethanol produced using residues from existing production. This means that no arable land is occupied and that the fuel does not compete with food production.
A company that has made a major investment by largely switching to renewable fuels is the transport company Kyl & Frysexpressen in Stockholm. They run their trucks on second-generation ethanol from SEKAB for some of the largest Swedish convenience stores.
"Today we have 70 trucks, 15 of which run on ethanol, and we would like to apply it to all our cars, said Robert Barkensjö," general manager of Kyl & Frysexpressen. "I believe that public opinion will demand it in the future. Then we are well equipped, because we have tested this for two years now, so we know it works."
ED95 – a renewable alternative to fossil based diesel
ED95 is a fossil-free alternative to diesel, but with similar properties in the engines. It's just a small modification of the engine that needs to be done, and truck manufacturer Scania has extensive experience of doing just that.
"This is something that we have done commercially for almost 30 years now," said Jonas Strömberg at Sustainable Systems Scania. The first truly commercial ED95 powered fleet started in Stockholm in the 80s. This is a very good fuel since we can use it in a modified diesel engine with the same efficiency as on regular diesel. That way you use the ethanol in the best possible way." Learn more here how to use your vehicle for promoting your business.
To get to sustainable heavy transport, we will need many different tools, but biofuels will be one of the essential tools. When looking at biofuels, there are really only three choices from a commercial and sustainable point of view, and it is ethanol, biodiesel and biogas.
– For us at Scania, it is very important to have good products for all of these three biofuels and ethanol is the biggest, the cheapest and actually also the most durable of the biofuels, said Jonas Strömberg at Sustainable Systems Scania.
SEKAB offers second-generation ethanol
Kyl & Frysexpressen has chosen to specifically buy ED95 produced from second-generation ethanol, SEKAB's premium quality. This ethanol is produced using residues from existing production.
– Second generation ethanol means that a different type of raw material is used than for the first generation, which in turn means we're using materials that do not compete with food. That is mainly the big difference, said Charlie Ryden at SEKAB
Hundreds of vehicles run on ED95 in Sweden
More than 800 vehicles in Sweden are already running on ED95, including many of Stockholm's public transport buses. Kyl &Frysexpressen have their own fueling stations, but also uses the first public filling station that opened in 2010.
– Since we know that the transport sector will have a future diesel shortage and we need a good, sustainable and inexpensive substitute for diesel. Ethanol is probably the most cost effective alternative of all the biofuels to replace diesel, said Jonas Strömberg.
Second generation ethanol – great environmental benefits at low costs
– The environmental benefit is huge; carbon emissions are close to 80 percent compared to a conventional, traditional diesel truck at an increased cost of just a few percent more per truck. It's a very inexpensive way to do something for the environment. One truck is equivalent to about 100 cars in carbon emissions. With our twelve ethanol trucks this means we have reduced the same amount of emissions as that of roughly 1200 cars, said Robert Barkensjö.

I've spent the last 2 years thinking about what it takes to build an orbital vehicle. A very rough first pass can be done with a simple how much delta V do you need. A more refined tradeoff needs a more refined model. Ultimately I'd like a full up hardware in the loop simulator that I can run full missions on. Writing such a simulator is a bit of a daunting task.
Just modeling the complexity of the "World" as you fly around it is non trivial. Starting with what reference frame do you use: Lat Lon altitude? , North East Down? Earth centered fixed. Earth centered Inertial? (Probably ECI what epoch J2000?)
A whole bunch of things that used to be fixed for the LLC simulator now change...
- Gravity,
- Atmospheric pressure.
- Magnetic field strength, direction.
- GPS constellation geometry.
- Earth is not round.
One could refine the vehicle model with a simple 2D model of a spherical earth and launched from the equator, Yet there are questions that can't be answered without these details. Just one simple example, I plan to use a MEMS IMU, GPS and Magnetic sensor to keep track of the vehicle position and orientation. MEMS IMU's drift really bad (0.1deg per sec is typical for a mems gyro) A better Laser gyro is much much heavier.
This is correctable if you have a couple of outside references to keep things aligned. In aircraft its common to use gravity and magnetic field to "erect" the gyros keeping then aligned. On a spacecraft under thrust you can do it with GPS velocity an accelerometer and a 3D magnetic filed sensor. The accelerometer measureing thrust direction in a body frame is compared against the GPS measured acceleration in an absolute frame (Say ECF), In reality these two vectors measure the smae thing so these two vectors gives you one absolute orientation vector. The magnetic field gives you another. This will fully define the corrections you need to apply. If some where during your launch the magnetic field vector and the desired thrust vector align too closely then you really only have one reference vector and your orientation is ambiguous in roll around that one vector. You might say that orientation on that axis does not matter, and that would almost be true, but if the orientation changes from the desired trajectory and you want to correct back or close the loop, you must have a full orientation solution to steer the rocket.
So do they ever align? I have absolutely no idea. Does this mean I'm limited to picking only certain orbits? Maybe? When the rocket stops thrusting and coasts I loose my orientation again, can I start thrusting for a circulization burn and learn my orientation quickly or is it more efficent to steer into a direct injection orbit with no circularzation burn.
Doing a direct injection burn has a delta V penalty, is this penalty larger or smaller than the hardware weight cost to have the 3rd stage motor restart? Is the find my orientaion with quick thrusting penalty in delta V greater or less than the mass penalty for a simple sun sensor, or tine CMOS start tracker? Inquiring minds want to know. The whole conceptual rocket has way too many knobs.
Trying to organize this monster project into a modular individually testable coding campaign is quite daunting.

With a converted 10 gallon cooler (ball valve and screen installed at the bottom), I was ready to go. I thought a good first beer would be to try a new iteration of my amber ale.
Fake Tire Amber Ale 3.0
- 7.5 lbs pale malt (2 row)
- 0.5 lbs. Victory malt
- 0.5 lbs. Munich malt
- 0.5 lbs. 40° crystal malt
- 0.5 lbs. 20° crystal malt
- 0.5 lbs. Cara-Pils malt
- 0.25 lbs. chocolate malt
- 1 oz. Cascade whole hops (60 minute boil)
- 1 oz. Cascade whole hops (5 minute boil)
- 1 tsp. Irish moss
- 1 pkg. Safale American ale yeast US-05
- Mash in ~13 qts. of water at 165° with malt for 1 hour. This resulted in a temperature of 154 degrees within 5 minutes, but it ended up at 145° by the end of the hour.
- Decanted liquid, added 1 gallon of water, brought temperature up to 146°.
- Decanted liquid, added 3 gallons water, brought temperature to 148°.
- Decanted liquid, which had a specific gravity of 1.034 at 60 degrees. The volume in the kettle was around 5 gallons.
- Heated to boil, added first addition of Cascade hops, boiled for 45 minutes, added Irish moss, boiled for another 10 minutes, added second addition of Cascade hops.
- After the 60 minute boil, I turned off the flame and chilled the wort to around 70 degrees.
- I transferred the wort to the fermenter, and pitched the yeast (which had been rehydrated in 1 cup of water). The wort fermented at ~68°.
- The starting gravity was 1.045 at 60°, with a starting volume of 4 gallons.
This was definitely a learning experience! I had done a fair bit of reading on all of this, but even so there were a few bumps along the way. For starters, I learned that my "trusty" digital thermometer reads about 20° too low! This happened hard way when I mashed the grains to discover a ridiculously low-gravity wort--perhaps 1.020. A little investigation with other thermometers revealed that my main digital thermometer had a bad sensor (maybe from moisture?). In any case, I tossed that wort and started over. It sucks to have wasted the time and materials, but it was a useful lesson.
Even after all of that, my efficiency in sugar extraction was still not great (~50%, where I should be hitting ~70% at least). I attribute this in part to the fairly low temperatures that the mash ended at (145°, on the very lowest end of where I should be). Next time, I am going to preheat my cooler/mash tun to mitigate some cooling. I also pulled off all of the "liquor" after each water addition, which I later realized I shouldn't have...so, I will aim for pulling off equal amounts of liquor next time, rather than draining the whole thing.
Despite all of that, I am eager to improve my technique and make the next batch. The amber ale really took off in the fermenter, and should be ready to go to the secondary very soon.

Nelson boss Alex Norwood accepts the better side won Tuesday's Pendle derby.
The Admirals went down 2-1 to Barnoldswick Town at the Silentnight Stadium, after shipping two first half goals to Jonathan Hodgkinson.
Jay Hart pulled a goal back five minutes from time, but the Blues now sit 10 points from safety in the North West Counties League Premier Division, with 11 games to play.
Norwood said: "I think, on reflection, they were the better side. There is probably an argument we might have deserved a point for our second half performance, but the better side probably won.
"They started well and looked a decent side, but second half we looked after the ball a lot better.
"It's easier to do that when you're 2-0 down though, and the last three games we haven't been good enough in possession.
"It's a confidence thing, we have some really good players. We got a reaction in the second half though, which is something."
He was delighted with his young centre backs – Cameron Lancaster and Robbie Jenkinson: "There were some positives, a few of the young lads - we had 17 and 18-year-old centre backs against Barnoldswick, probably the two best players in a Nelson shirt.
"One was at fault for both goals, and had his head in his shirt after the second, but Cammy delivered a performance after that that they thought made him our man of the match."
Saturday saw Nelson exit the Macron Cup at the quarter-final stage, losing 3-1 at home to Chadderton, going 3-0 down within 36 minutes, before Hart pulled one back.
Norwood admitted: "Saturday was a strange one, it was a real bad day at the office. I couldn't scrape the barrel for positives.
"We just weren't good enough."
The situation looks bleak at the bottom, but Norwood insists he and his players will give their all and see where it takes them: "We have to keep performing - if the performances aren't right, the gap won't shorten.
"Our focus remains on performances, and they've not been good enough.
"Staying up is probably a long shot, but no one is downing tools."
Ne,son are at Winsford United tomorrow: "We played Winsford recently and if we were still playing wouldn't have got anything, but it's another opportunity to get points."

The exhibition takes you on a journey through a three dimensional mind-map of sculptures, audiovisual displays, medical hardware and archival materials. Featuring maps, models and measurements of the River Thames alongside cutting-edge diagnostic 'phantoms' (specialist machines rarely seen outside of a hospital or laboratory which are used to calibrate medical imaging equipment and analyse fluid dynamics within the body), it draws parallels between extraordinary feats of civil engineering and the intricate inner workings of the human body, suggesting a correlation between revolutionary urban and medical innovations in the way they measure, process and predict mysterious natural and bodily phenomena.
Looking to the past and future sewage systems that keep London clean and its population healthy, Hawser charts attempts throughout the ages to reclaim the Thames as a space for leisure, rather than industry, from Joseph Bazalgette's 19th century sewer system to the Thames Tideway 'Super Sewer' project.

The Preaching Hanar is a hanar on the Citadel Presidium, present near the Wards access corridor in 2183. It is arguing with a C-Sec officer.
Even by hanar standards, the Preaching Hanar is deeply religious, and has decided to preach about the Enkindlers on the Presidium. The C-Sec officer claims that this is illegal, as evangelising is prohibited on the Presidium, there are designated preaching areas on the Citadel, and the Preaching Hanar does not have an evangelical permit anyway. Despite the C-Sec officer's rudeness, the hanar remains calm and polite, and is grateful for any help Commander Shepard can provide once they arrive. It argues that it merely wants to share the truth of the Enkindlers with everyone, and as stating the truth is not preaching no permit is required.
Shepard can buy the Preaching Hanar an evangelical permit so it can preach legally. If Shepard believes the hanar should not be preaching on the Presidium at all, the Commander can tell the Preaching Hanar it is misusing the gifts of speech and sentience that the Enkindlers gave its people. The Preaching Hanar will be convinced, claiming its enthusiasm got the better of it, and agree to leave.
Alternatively, Shepard can persuade the C-Sec officer to let the hanar stay. The Preaching Hanar will then remain on the Presidium and preach to passers-by about the glory of the Enkindlers.

Peters Bros Hat company
Peters Brothers is downtown Fort Worth they opened in 1911 . www.pbhats.com. 909 Houston Street, Fort Worth Texas 76102 . Phone number 817-335-1715
A full hatrack of presidents has received "Shady Oak" Western lids that were originally fashioned for former Star-Telegram Publisher Amon Carter Sr. Inside the crown of every one of the custom hats are the slogans "The Texas Hat" and "Where the West Begins." The company was founded by Greek immigrants Jim and Tom Peters in 1911. They got their start in business shining shoes in Waco during an annual festival, and with $600 in savings, they opened a shoeshine parlor in a tiny wooden building in downtown Fort Worth, according to the company's website.
During World War I, business was so good that they expanded and had 36 men shining shoes on two shifts. The brothers also operated a hat renovation department.
In 1921, Tom Peters learned how to make hats while working for John B. Stetson in Philadelphia. He then returned to Fort Worth and started making custom hats.

In the past 5 years the ability to share pictures and photos online has become second nature. It has been suggested that over 2.5 billion photos are uploaded to Facebook every month. That's ridiculous. Back in September the popular photo sharing site Flickr announced that its 5 billionth photo had been uploaded. We all love to share photos and we have lots of them. Speaking as a father with young kids, I may have just taken the 5 billionth photo of my children the other day! Well, one really fun way to get the people in your organization engaged is run an online photo contest. [This post is part of the 10 Ways to Engage Your Members with Technology]
An online photo contest is a type of user-generated contest. The idea generally consists of people submitting an entry to the contest through through online social platforms like Facebook or Twitter. In the case of a photo contest you could use Flickr or Google Picasa. Let's consider an example of a online photo contest using Flickr.
Let's say you're a nonprofit that helps individuals who struggle with bad haircuts. What if you held a contest where members had to upload a photo of themself next to a person with a really bad haircut. No doubt, this could generate some extremely funny photos, but what else could happen? Couldn't it help your members:
- Get creative
- Learn about other people in the organization
- Build online community
- Get familiar with your organization's brand or cause
Yes, I think it could. After all, it's everyone that participates that votes and whenever a photo is uploaded it links back to the person that uploaded it and people will read about each other. Read each other's bio, see their picture, and learn a little bit more about that person. So the next time they see each other, they're going to chat. They're engaged with each other now and your organization is what glued them together.
So how would you do this in Flickr? Well, check out these examples first. Then you'd just
- Decide the details of the contest
- Create a Flickr account
- Create a Flickr group
- Provide a link to the group and invite people to upload a picture
- Spread the contest through social networks
This post makes it all sound pretty easy, I'm sure. You'll definitely want to put some planning and strategy around this contest. For example, spreading the word about the online photo contest could be tricky. So check out Wildfire and votigo for two solutions that can help you manage your social media contests.
The good news is that it won't cost you much money and you're sure to have members that are much more prepared to engage with each other and your organization.
Have you ever done this before? If so, leave some words of wisdom in the comments below. Otherwise, give this a shot and let us know how it goes!

The Clement Canopy is a new condominium located at Clementi Avenue 1 and is nestled in one of the most developed areas in Singapore. Developed by UOL Group, The Clement Canopyis served by major highways, bus routes, and an MRT line, which make it easy for the residents of The Clement Canopy to reach other parts of Singapore quickly. This development is expected to be one of the HOTTEST launch in the Western part of Singapore in 2017.
Nan Hua High School, NUS High School of Math and Science and the National University of Singapore are amongst some of the top schools that are within the vicinity of The Clement Canopy. With the limited compass accommodation in NUS, many students have been renting condominiums around this area. Moreover, there is an International Community School just opposite the condominium which will drive demand from expats.
The Clement Canopy is served by two major expressways, namely the AYE and PIE that both run close to the development. Furthermore, the development is about 1km away from Clementi MRT Station, and the Clementi Bus Interchange is only 1-2 bus stops away. The development is about 20 minutes drive away from the CBD.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has been recognised as one of the region's hubs in treating respiratory diseases, with advanced medical technology and trained, world-class experts.
Health Director-General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said there are many doctors here who have shown interest and dedication in training to become specialists in the field.
"The state recorded a high number of respiratory cases such as tuberculosis, asthma, lung cancer and other conditions.
"These cases are opportunities for medical personnel to learn and train themselves to become specialists in future," he said at a press conference after launching the second Malaysian Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (Mabip) 2016 at Queen Elizabeth hospital here.
Dr Noor added that there are currently 43 respiratory specialists, including 16 who are still undergoing training, in the country.
The Health Ministry is targeting to have at least one specialist at every state hospital, as well as several at district hospitals.
At present, there is a respiratory specialist in Tawau district hospital to ease the workload, especially in eastern Sabah.
"The ministry will continue to provide support for health personnel in career development, which will eventually lead to the delivery of better healthcare for the people.
"Besides pursuing postgraduate studies, medical doctors should also look into publishing their papers based on cases as a way to be recognised."
Present were Sabah Health director Dr Christina Rundi and Mabip chairman Dr Jamalul Azizi Abdul Rahman.

Dealing with Holiday Stress
The holiday season is a time for fun and pleasure. However, it often becomes a source of stress and anxiety for many people.
In the past several decades I lived in six different cultures where I had the opportunity to celebrate Christmas and the New Year. In my native country of Iran, I celebrated the Naw-Ruz (New Day) which coincides with the spring equinox on March 21st. As a gift, children receive shiny, new coins or crisp banknotes depending on their age. I'm lucky that I belong to a large family (9 children) and my parents couldn't spoil us with too much shopping and gifts. I was brought up in a frugal household.
Later when I moved to Italy, I celebrated the Catholic Christmas and New Year's Eve. In Rome I witness the glimpse of commercialism as people got stressed out over shopping and food preparation. An anecdote that comes to mind is when one night my brother and I went for a New Year's Eve dinner at a friend's house in Rome. At midnight, there were no city buses running. So we had to walk home. However, we had forgotten an old custom practiced in Rome (and in some places in Italy), which consists in throwing your old things out the window to symbolize your readiness to accept the New Year. So, my brother and I had to duck and zig-zag our way through old furniture and other discarded items.
In 1984 I moved to Canada where I got to know Protestant's version of Christmas. There are more similarities than differences among how Europeans and North Americans celebrate the holiday seasons. In Canada I saw the influence of consumerism during Christmas time even more.
Later I moved back to Europe and spend few years in Barcelona, Spain; then moved to Czech Republic; Malmo, Sweden; and then back to Bilbao, Spain again. And finally, now that I spend time between both Spain and Canada I can see how both Europeans and North Americans get stressed out over the holidays.
Now, about holiday stress, there are three points to remember:
- Unrealistic Expectations. Most people have a romantic view of the holiday season. They expect everything go well. However with so many factors involved there is always a high chance that something goes wrong. Despite all the preparation and good will, quite often expectations go unmet: meals don't turn out right; children misbehave; some family members bicker; gifts are not received as fondly as we expected and eating and drinking too much leaves some people unsatisfied.
- Wanting to enjoy it. When people decide to have fun, a paradoxical effect may occur. The more you want to enjoy yourself, the less satisfaction you get. The reason is that pleasure becomes truly pleasurable when it is not planned: when it is spontaneous. However if you plan it too much and really decide to have a good time, you will be disappointed. Mainly because things will never turn out the way you planned it. This becomes exacerbated by the social pressure. If you don't smile you may be considered a bore or a Grinch! We are pressured by social expectation and advertising that we must be jolly. Depressed or lonely people see others getting together. They feel they miss on something special and fantasize about their ideal holidays, and are convinced that everybody else is enjoying a great time but them. The result is that depressed people suffer a great deal during the holiday seasons.
- Falling into the trap of consumerism. Advertising also creates an artificial sense of happiness: "you can be happy only if you buy our products!" People get carried away with holiday shopping. They get stressed out finding the ideal gift and almost always overspend. Then, when all is over, they get stressed out when their bills arrive.
Here are 3 Tips for having a more enjoyable time during the holidays:
- Have realistic expectations. Remember that holiday season is a stressful time. Of course you can make it fun but keep it simple. Stay with you budget. Slow down. Leave time for rest. Christmas will be fun but there'll be times when it'll seem boring. People may annoy you. It will never live up to the rose picture the advertising makes it.
- Instead of looking forward to enjoying it, be curious about it. Think what you can learn from it this year. Instead of deciding to enjoy it, plan on how you could do some service to others. Focus on service and enjoy the joyfulness that brings with it. Remember that when you plan pleasure you turn it into its opposite.
- When you shop and make preparations, remember that this is a religious celebration. Christmas is actually Christ's Mass. It's annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ. If you don't share the same beliefs, at least keep in mind the spiritual component of it. Don't let all the material part of it overshadow the true purpose of celebrating togetherness, giving and serving others.
These tips also apply to any major celebration in our lives. The rule of thumb is to keep it simple, frugal and flexible. Let me close with a quote from Lao Tse:
Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

J. Arons, C. Heiles (University of California, Berkeley)
The Astrophysics major offered by the Berkeley Astronomy Department has been redesigned to reflect broad educational goals. Students preparing for graduate school study mostly Physics and Mathematics, leavened with four semesters of astrophysics at the sophomore and senior level. These courses make heavy use of their concurrent Physics and Math. Astrophysics and Physics majors differ in the astrophysics courses replacing other electives which a Physics major might choose.
The major's redesign also opened the door to students who wish to pursue a major which gives them broad technical training without having graduate school as a goal. Many such students follow the same track as those pursuing the graduate school option; others take courses specifically designed for people with alternate careers in mind.
The major change has been a laboratory requirement for all Astrophysics majors, in either track. We now have advanced undergraduate laboratories: optical, radio, and near infrared; details are on our web page. These share the common thread of development of deep capabilities in data gathering, analysis, and presentation.
Students achieve expertise in these areas because the labs include the complete range of activities normally encountered in observational or experimental research. Students use laboratory equipment to measure the fundamental parameters of devices and systems, make astronomical observations with those systems, write software in UNIX and IDL to control equipment and analyze the results, and write formal lab reports in LATEX. We avoid ``black box'' or ``cookbook'' procedures . The students leave the course having gained experience and knowledge, and a ``feel'' for how to proceed when faced with sometimes recalcitrant equipment and imperfect data. A by product of the training has been an increase in student involvement in undergraduate research projects.
These innovations have led to a major that has doubled in size and, in a quite unanticipated development, has become gender balanced. We will present a number of aspects, both statistically and anecdotally, from this decade long experience with reform of an astronomy major.

Thoral is a large humanoid wrapped in layers and layers of black rags. His face is devoid of flesh, and is instead a bloody skeletal face. His eyes are black orbs with a small white dot iris. When speaking, Thoral's mouth opens, but his jaw does not echo the cadences of his whispered syllables. Instead his jaw just hangs open, closing when his message is conveyed.
When Thoral walks, he has the slow lumbering walk of the undead, but unlike undead his progress is not hampered by a search for prey. Thoral walks purposefully in whatever direction he wishes to travel. While he trods along, each movement causes the cursed lantern to shake and rattle, and the lights flicker.
Underneath Thorals head and shoulder garments, are Thoral's brown leather armour, hoary with incredibly aged and with innumerable cuts and scraps. His pants are brown leather as well, but with broad armour sheets binded to them with additional boundr straps. This leg armour is rusty and aged. Slung over his left shoulder Thoral has a large blue tome bound with a thick wax spine. This book is incredibly aged, it is Thoral's journal. On his other shoulder he has many other ancient books, leaflets and artifacts.
Thoral always holds onto his lantern with his skeletal left hand, but in his pale fleshy right hand he clasps a standard broadsword also aged to an incredible degree.
Excerpts from the Jounal of Thoral
345th Night
"Fought ogres today, an even bakers dozen. Dispatched them handily. I must remember to buy Danker a beer, I owe him as much for his resurrection spells. Nearly was a goner there. Rikosan is oddly quiet today, he leads but says nothing. He used to be jovial. Maybe he is letting the lantern men stay out? He said it hurt him to let them out, but they've been out with me all night. Thats got to be the reason. I Haven't seen a tavern for a while now. Was there one on the way from the battleground to the campsite? Thats odd I don't remember the jouney."
346th Night
"Never a dull moment. As soon as I'd awoke, we we're attacked by a Hydra. Not even native to these parts. Not sure how we got to his cave though. Back at camp now."
366th Night
"Fought a lich. I don't know how long ago. Our leader Rikosan fell. Danker resurrected him, as I fell. The Lich Fritzarrn tried to make a returned blackguard out of me. He thinks it work, but it didn't. Don't know why. I've taken Rikosan's lantern, its all I could find of my companions. Where did they go? And what is happening to my body? Must have been that damnable Lich."
372th Night
"Have been wandering for days looking for our campsite. Its like it never existed. Still no sign of my allies. Face is getting worse, it feels cold all the time. Accidently burned it with fire this morning."
375Th Night
"Strange magic. Ran out of fagots, tried to start campfire with lamp light. The lantern light illuminated my friends but they were ghosts. Danker didn't know I was missing. Says I was here all the time - He says I'm leader now, no one listens to Rikosan no more. An Rikosan asked me some strange stuff too. He says to me: Where is my town, Ruundel, where is my family? I says to him, 'ya stopped talking about then after the ogres.' He said he visited them everyweek since. Then he said that I died that day. No wonder no one listens to Rikosan no more. He is crazy. I closed the lantern, I wanted to talk to Rikosan more, but when the lantern was open my heart felt sore, like it was being pulled."
403rd Night
"Got ran out of town again today. I think maybe the Lich's spell did something to my face. I'm getting real ugly."
419th Night
"I think I figured it out. This must be the Lich's doing, some kind of ghost magic. He musta killed my friends and put em in a lantern. I'm going find a way to end this lich curse and kill that Lich. Then my friends will be free."
The Cursed Latern
The Black blood Latern is the focus of the party. The lantern is thin and tall, nearly 2 feet in height, of black muddy steel, and a wire handle. The glass panes are cloudy brown and grey and rattle as the lantern moves about. Inside the lantern is a tall blood red candle, that burns eternal. The candle isn't regular, it has large bumps all onlong its length, eacalong their own individual burning wick. The lantern is opened by means of a brass handle, one side of its hexagonal body rotates opens.
The curse of the lantern is that it contains souls (each soul represented by a wick). When it is opened, these souls take physical form and fight alongside Thoral. The souls within the lantern do not realize that they are imprisoned, as far as they know they are just fighting a neverending onslaught of attackers.
The lantern has two ways of aquiring new souls, contact with the lantern will drain its victims soul into the lantern, especially while it is opened.
The alternate, unplanned way (even by the Lich's who created the device) is to be resurrected by a cleric that came from the lantern, the soul will be channeled through the lantern but become stuck there. Most of its prisoners entered the lantern is this way. A doomed cleric resurrects a fallen comrade, who becomes stuck in the lantern as part of the curse. Even being healed by a doomed cleric will put non-spirits into a temporary dazed state.
The holder of the lantern is seen as the leader of the party to the imprisoned souls. Additionally the lantern holder will see the spirits for what they are, transparent ghosts illuminated by the lantern. People around the lantern holder will see the ghosts as fully opaque warriors.
History of Latern
The lantern was created by necromancer lords in times long forgotten. It was used in conjunction with necromancer magic to contain the souls of slain enemies.
As the necromancer rulers succumbed to rivalries the lantern was lost and it became a forgotten treasure in a Lich's horde.
With later ages, as the world freed itself from the grasp of the ancient undead lords, the lantern was rescued from the black lands and found its way into the hands of adventurers. Although its mechanisms were unknown, it became widely known , in jest, that the lantern was an "Army in a bottle". However it still retained some mystery, as it was often found abandoned (In truth, its owner was killed and resurrected by a lamp cleric, thus sucking the owner into the curse).
The most recent finder was by a scout named Rikosan, who recruited a barbarian named Thoral. Rikosan has became quite the hero in his parts by besting the orcs tribes and clearing the swamp of ogres. Rikosan recently acquired the kings written permission to challenge the Lich Fritzarrn. The King prays for his rapid success.
The straight dope
I've tried to present the character with enough clues so that his background is quite apparent. However I don't want to leave anyone guessing. Here is what happened:
- Rikosan finds lantern.
- Rikosan recruits Thoral (still Human)
- Thoral is killed by Ogres, Danker resurrects him
- Thoral is now trapt in the lantern
- Rikosan continues the quest.
- Rikosan defeats the Hydra with the warriors in lamp
- Rikosan encounters the Lich
- Rikosan dies.
- Danker revives Rikosan, Rikosan is trapt in the lamp
- Thoral dies almost the same time Rikosan dies,
- Danker doesn't have time to revive Thoral.
- With Rikosan being trapt in the lamp, no one is left controlling the lamp. The battle stops.
- The ghosts return to the lamp, except for Thoral, who is dead outside of it.
- The Lich decides to resurrect Thoral as an undead warrior.
- The Lich succeeds in pulling enough of Thoral's spirit out of the lamp to reanimate him, but not enough to control him.
- Thoral is half undead and half dead. He takes the lamp and leaves.
- He discovers his friends in the lamp, but mistakenly thinks the Lich did it.
Roleplaying Notes
Thoral should seek quests that will grant him greater insight into curses, or means to obtain that knowledge. Thoral would work for an aalliegancewith a powerful necromancer (to learn about the curse), he would work for ancient texts, or for large sums of money with which to buy ancient texts.
If a PC dies, and the spirits are out, its quite possible that Danker (or another cleric in the lamp) might try to revive them. If this happens then the PC will also be stuck in the lantern.
Thoral is detested by everyone who sees him. He was never very friendly to begin with, and now that he looks like he got up on the wrong side of the grave, most people absolutely detest him.
Thoral is a barbarian, not by culture, but by his lawlessness and lack of discipline. He is of average intelligence, but can easily tricked. He isn't much for strategy, preferring to frighten opponents with his grim face and the army of the latern.
Thoral has learned a little bit of magic and lore in his quest to free his friends. Most of this is in the dark arts. So Thoral might have some interesting opinions and facts about evil artifacts and spells.
Additional Ideas (1)
Rikosan just wanted to be a hero. Tales of adventure was the music of his life; but he wasn't impulsive enough to travel and opportunity never beckoned. This all changed when he found that strange lantern. It was a forest of death that day: Orcs, dozens of them lay, drenching the ground with their blood, the bodies all bore marks of terrific violence. Timidly approaching, Rikosan's focus kept returning to the lantern. He recognized it immediately, he had heard the stories sung of it. Rikosan searched the ruined grounds for any being, but finding none Rikosan took the lamp.
And this was how the Magnificent Rikosan came to protect the city of Ruundel. His secret but successful problem solving methods would have been entirely mysterious if not for the loose tongue of his single bodyguard Thoral. An inebriated Thoral once spoke of powerful allies hidden in a lantern, a truth that was not widely believed.
However the time of "Rikosan the magnificent" came to a sudden end. Rikosan boasted that he would take the fight to the Lich Fritzarrn, an ancient but preoccupied evil that dwelled in the northern plains. He was given by the king a letter of passage, and promised a duchy upon his successful return. He rode off on a clear morning and was never heard from again.
In time a ghastly figure wandered south from the mountains. This skeletal beast is rumoured to attack wanderers at night, and carries Rikosan's magic lantern.
"Being the tenth fortnight since the departure of Rikosan,
and his absence being sorely felt.
The king, in his glory and wisdom, declares this day
The Celebration of Rikosan.
Be wary citizen!
In Rikosan's folly a horrible animation has arison
with the stolen property of our late hero.
This beast is to be given no quarter and
permitted no ear. Let us honour our
hero with the death of this antagonist."
Rikosan is in his late thirtys. He is tall but lean, and his crown is bald from age, but he still has wisps of long white hair. He has an excellent speaking voice and can instill courage and hope with his speeches.
His clothes are usually unadorned with trumpery, Rikosan being a pragmatic and comfortable man. He was last seen clothed in his woodsman suit, with a small hatchet and pack of supplies.

People ask me about what I do from home, so I figured I'd share with a little more detail. First up. food and freelancing.
I love food. I love eating, cooking, reading about, and playing with food. I collect cookbooks and menus. I love finding new twists on favorite recipes. I love seeing the look on a loved one's face when they enjoy something I prepared for them.
I wanted to find a way to do what I love and make money with it. While searching for a new telecommuting position, I stumbled across a listing for Examiner.com. I always wanted to write, so I decided to take the plunge. After all, I had nothing to lose. They liked me, so I became Charleston SC's Vegetarian Examiner. I get to play with food more and write about it,
If you want to try your hand at writing, consider becoming an Examiner, too.
Finding my passion and finding a way to make it part of how I make my living was important to me. It's standard advice for those looking for the right business. Or anyone looking for peace. Find your bliss and embrace it.
What's your passion?

Seahawks Insider Blog
Gallery, Rice still uncertain for Sunday
Two of the Seattle Seahawks major free agent acquisitions may not be ready for Sunday's opener against San Francisco.
Offensive guard Robert Gallery and receiver Sidney Rice did not practice on Monday, and head coach Pete Carroll said he'll wait and see until later in the week if both are ready.
Gallery is nursing a sprained right knee he suffered in the first half against Oakland.
"He's had a couple good days here," Carroll said about Gallery. "He's got a sprained knee and we're just going to have to see how it goes day to day. We'll watch him carefully and he's hopeful that he can make it back by the weekend. We'll have to wait and see."
Rice was held out of the last preseason game with a sore shoulder.
"We'll wait later in the week to know what's going on with him," Carroll said about Rice.
With Gallery out, veteran Paul McQuistan, who backed up Gallery in Oakland, worked at left guard along with rookie James Carpenter. But the rookie from Alabama working at left guard is more out of necessity in case he has to play there in a game situation, with the Seahawks likely only suiting up seven or eight offensive linemen for the 45-man roster.
Carpenter also got work with the first unit at right tackle.
Carroll also addressed picking up new kicker Steven Hauschka on the waiver wire after the team released Jeff Reed.
"We had out eyes on Hauschka the whole time, all through the summer time," Carroll said. "And we didn't know if he would make it there or not. But that was a guy we were watching. So when he became available, we jumped on him."
Carroll said that the team placed Jimmy Wilkerson on the season-ending, injured reserve because he has a knee injury that needs surgery.
"Unfortunately, if that wasn't the case then we wouldn't have hung on longer," Carroll said. "But it's a knee that he's hurt before. And the damage is enough that there was no way that we could count on him getting back. So we need to take care of him, and that's why we had to do that."
The Seahawks got more good news on the Russell Okung front. Carroll said he looks good and is ready to go.
"He practiced enough last week to let us know he would be ready this week," Carroll said. "He worked really hard in pregame at game time the other night. He was dying to play, but we wouldn't put him in. We wanted to wait a few more days. But he practiced full-go today, and he's ready to go for this game."
Some tidbits
* The Seahawks announced captains today, which are voted on by the team. Tarvaris Jackson is the offensive captain, Marcus Trufant is the defensive captain, and Leon Washington and Michael Robinson are special teams co-captain.
* WR Isaiah Stanback was dropped from the injured reserve list and is no longer with the team.
* RB Marshawn Lynch (ankle) and LB David Hawthorne (knee) did not practice today, but are expected to practice on Wednesday. "Marshawn is well, he'll be fine," Carroll said. "David, we need to see how he takes to the practice work."
* Carroll talked about some of the new additions to the team. Defensive tackle Al Woods was with defensive line coach Todd Wash at Tampa Bay, and at 6-4, 307 pounds, has a similar body type to Red Bryant.
* Defensive tackle Landon Cohen is pretty active and at 6-3, 300 pounds, perhaps could provide some of the inside pass rush that was expected out of Wilkerson.
* At 6-5, 317 pounds, offensive tackle Jarriel King out of South Carolina is a guy Carroll says has tremendous potential. King has an ankle injury and did not practice today.
"We're excited about the future for him," Carroll said. "He played right tackle. And he had been a left side tackle at South Carolina in the SEC and did very well there. We think this is a really good move for the future, and we think this is a guy we can develop."
* Carroll said that Colin Cole was healthy, but still needed to get his conditioning level up. The team released Cole during final roster cut downs.
"With Mebane taking over at nose tackle, it just made it obvious that that was the move for us," Carroll said

I just love beetroot!
So juicy and sweet and full of iron!
Fermenting thin slices together with dill (so helpful for digestion) and red cabbage (great for detoxing) upgrades the nutrients.
The result tastes delish and goes perfect with your Christmas lunch.
If you need more iron but don't want to include meat beetroot are a great alternative. And if you have teenagers at home who do a lot of sports you might want to include beetroots in their diets to make sure they get enough iron.
Fermenting Beetroot
– 450 gram beetroot
– 220 gram red cabbage plus the stem
– handful of dill
– Brine: 15g himalayan crystal salt to 1 litre of water

The School Board is directed by the Executive Committee which consists of the Pastor, Principal, and the officers elected by the Board: the Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and Secretary.
