South Korea played host to 88,917 tourists from India in the first seven months of 2016, registering a growth of 47.9 percent when compared to the same period last year.
It was mainly to due to the determined efforts of the Korea Tourism Organisation's office in New Delhi that this growth was achieved. Endeavours of the tourism board to raise awareness among the travel trade partners to promote Korea in the best possible way, the aggressive business attitude adopted by the DMCs (destination management companies) and touching base with the end-customer through strategic media platforms are said to have been have been the crucial causes for increase in tourists outflow to Korea.
Travel Trends Today quotes Korea Tourism Organisation Director Byungsun Lee as saying that more than 150,000 Indian tourists visited South Korea in 2015 and they have touched close to 90,000 in the first seven months. Lee said that these factors strengthened their confidence of overtaking the last year's numbers. They have reportedly broadened their efforts and positioned South Korea as a favoured leisure destination among different tourist segments, which include families, adventure enthusiasts and honeymoon couples with the advent of the festival season, which would later be followed by the winter holidays.
This interest evinced by Indian travellers coincides with the concomitant growth in the air connectivity. Korean Air is said to be launching its Delhi operations in December with the frequency being increased to five times a week. On the other hand, Asiana Airline has hiked its operations originating from Delhi five times a week, up from the previous three. It also has plans to operate daily in the days to come.
If you want to travel to South Korea, approach Y-Axis to avail guidance and help to file for a visa at one of its 19 offices located in all of India's major cities.

The tailgating season is back this year! This is an American tradition that has turned into a lifestyle. Being a part of the tailgating lifestyle takes proper planning and packing. There are many neat tricks and tips to make the big day a success for you and your guests! We have gathered a couple of them for you to aide in a successful tailgating party!
As you know, our South Louisiana weather is unpredictable. The tailgating season may start off warm, and grown colder as we get closer to winter. We want you to have options on how you pack your food. For the colder months of tailgating season, you could bring a variety of soups in thermoses and tin mugs. Your tailgating menu can have slight varieties from the typical hot dogs and burgers. Your opposing neighbors will also love this idea, as they did not plan to bring soup.
Bringing a large extra tub to haul back dirty dishes is a must. You can easily line the large plastic tub with a garbage bag and then put the dirty dishes inside when its time to pick up! This is a great way to keep your vehicle clean and an awesome way to not lose your dishes out there on game-day. Most importantly, you will be doing this all over again, so it is in your best interest to keep up with your tailgating dishes.
Bring more trash bags to your tailgate than you think you would need. Things happen, and more trash accumulate. They also can be use to line things with. Furthermore, they can be used as ponchos! This is a small tip, but we are sure you will be thanking us later.
Being in the lifestyle of tailgating can be an awesome experience! There are so many things that can be overlooked if proper planning and packing are not done correctly. This football tradition is its own stand alone function. Don't let the stress of game-day get the best of you. Using these tips from the All Star Family will definitely get your head in the game!

At the Annual Convocation and Awards Ceremony Aug. 12, President Paul Sechrist presented the Elven Gray award to English professor Stephen Morrow.
In 1991, OCCC created the award to recognize employees who exhibit the characteristics of Elven Gray, who was described as a "one of the college's most dedicated and inspiring employees," and "a gentleman who always, no matter what his circumstances, went above and beyond to serve others." Morrow said he is honored to win such a prestigious college award. The Elven Gray award is the most important award given, he said. However, Morrow said, being humble is best.
"It's very, very nice to win a college award, but the flipside of that is what Plato put in his 'Republic,' — he reminds us all that we should be very humble with awards. That's putting it nicely. He's a little more critical," he said.
Morrow said he never knew Elven Gray, but receiving the award means quite a bit to him because of all the great things he has heard.
"I didn't know Mr. Gray, but I understand he was a wonderful spirit around campus and was helpful and generous, and those are the things to be, so it actually means quite a lot to me to know that I'm a part of that spirit and legacy of being a positive force on campus."
Morrow has been at OCCC for 10 years and in education overall for 20 years. Over the years, he said, his favorite memories have been helping students in his classes succeed and watching them develop in every aspect of their lives.
"I think the most important is the connection to students who are working and growing and finding their way in life. To just be part of that process just is kind of a blessing.
"I remember a few stories of students … in my class … overcoming incredible obstacles. [They] had so many responsibilities but they were still succeeding, so thinking about those students is very inspiring."
Morrow wears many hats on campus, including teaching English, philosophy and the Advocates of Peace class, and sponsoring the Advocates of Peace club. He has sponsored the club for about eight years, he said, and has good memories from all of their activities.
"Free Hugs … was definitely a highlight," he said. "It's so interesting to … see people who accept the hugs. You just smile. It's a really interesting social phenomenon."
Recently, Morrow became the faculty liaison for Services and Engagement, a new area in Student Life.
He said in his reaasigned position, he will help assist with a student mentoring program designed to help students succeed by being matched with other students. He also will help make faculty aware of student services and encourage students to use them.
Morrow said he hopes everyone at OCCC will remember they are all a part of a bigger picture.
"I'm very appreciative for the Elven Gray Recognition," he said. "When I accepted it, one thing I said was, 'My mentor who is Parker Palmer talks about how we're all in this together. If we carry just a little bit of that insight, it just helps us be more open and more respectful to each other and more supportive.'"

Changing Your Running Form
"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy."
- The Eagles, "Take It Easy"
Historical running wisdom has been that you cannot change the way you run; the way you looked while running around the playground as a kid is basically the same way you look when running on streets or trails as a grownup today. The biomechanics you were born with either provide you a lifetime of injury-free running, or a plague of constant injuries.
However, in the last few years there has been a lot of scientific research indicating that you can change your running form – and doing so might actually be good for you. Whether you are a beginner or elite, making your running form more efficient can make you not only faster, but less likely to incur injuries.
This "unconventional wisdom" started a few years back with the barefoot and minimalist shoe boom. Running barefoot or with minimal shoes forces your foot strike - the way your foot hits the ground - to be on the midfoot or forefoot, with a much softer impact than traditional running shoes. Traditional running shoes have highly padded heels and more lift in the heel and promote a heel strike while running.
However, the question is still very contentious among medical professionals. Many still believe that runners with less-than-perfect biomechanics have no business trying to run barefoot, and should rely on structured shoes or even orthotics. However, most are beginning to accept that efficient running isn't dependent nearly as much upon the shoe as it is upon the runner.
Whether you wear shoes or not, there are several things you can work on in order to reduce your chances of injury. Next time you are out for an easy run, listen to determine how your foot strikes the ground. Are you a "noise-maker" who lands on your heel and then slaps the ground with your forefoot, or do you run silently with a soft footstrike?
Practice running quietly. There are several ways to do this and all require repetition, concentration, and practice. Try to land more in the midfoot. Take shorter quicker strides. Don't overstride. You might try leaning a bit more forward but when you do this don't bend from the waist, but from the ankles.
Danny Dreyer wrote a popular book called "Chi Running," in which he claims you can improve your running form by concentrating your energy on balance and flow. He identifies 10 components of good running technique and we've added some explanatory advice after each one: flexibility (stretch for a few minutes each day), posture (run upright, no slumping), good leg motion (don't overstride), cadence (quick short steps), body sensing (sense tension and relax your muscles), mental focus (concentrate on making changes), upper/lower body coordination (both work together rather than in opposition), good breathing habits (deep belly breathing), bent knees and elbows (improves arm and leg swing), and staying relaxed (consciously relax your muscles and run comfortably fast).
More and more runners are now doing actual drills once or twice a week, usually before or after running, to improve their form and flexibility. You can have fun with skips, high knees, butt kicks, irish dance, striders, hurdle step-overs, quick feet, and many more. Just Google "running drills" and you'll find lots of them.
Like anything worthwhile, changing your running form takes a bit of effort and some study, but there's no question it can lead to a healthier and more enjoyable running life.

Ed Sheeran has recruited Beyonce for a remix of his single Perfect.
The Thinking Out Loud singer teased last week (ends26Nov17) that he had a remix for his love song featuring a huge collaborator coming out on Friday. And on Thursday, he announced it was Beyonce by sharing the artwork for the remix, which featured both their names, on Instagram.
"Got Beyonce to duet with me on Perfect, comes out today at 7pm ET / 4pm PT / midnight GMT," he wrote in the caption.
Speaking ahead of the release, Ed told Channel 4 Radio in the United Arab Emirates, "I've got something dropping next Friday. It's a really f**king big deal."
When asked what it will sound like, he replied, "The vibe is that it's a remix to Perfect. I'm just basically going to Despacito Perfect."
The British star was referring to the Spanish-language track Despacito by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, which became a crossover chart smash around the world after Justin Bieber recorded verses for the remix.
Ed, 26, has worked with Beyonce before - they performed together at a Grammy tribute concert for Stevie Wonder and at Global Citizen Festival in 2015.
He told People magazine in March that she is the top of his list of artists to collaborate with in the studio.
"After having sung with Beyonce, I'd say she's always top of my list," he said. "Even just standing near her onstage makes me look better - just because she's really that amazing. She has this aura around her of just talent.
"Rehearsing with her, hearing her sing up close is just a thing to marvel. Even if my career ended tomorrow, I'll still be able to tell my grandkids that I got to sing with Beyonce. She will be remembered as one of the greats."
Beyonce has featured on a few tracks this year (17) - most notably Eminem's recent single Walk on Water and on a remix of J Balvin's Latin hit Mi Gente. The original Perfect is currently in the top five in both the U.K. and U.S. singles charts.

Corporate sailing could quite possibly be the very best team building activity on earth.
Sailing simulates our environment at work - constant changes and 'unknowns' are thrown at the group who must adapt to deal and deal with the situation.
A large of our Corporate Sailing Adventure involves executive 'team building', but also creates the opportunity for self and group discovery.
Learning to sail a boat well, around a course or in a fun competition puts the crew on board in a unique situation. They must learn new skills together as a group - solving problems and working together in a fun and challenging environment. Together on a boat - co-workers must abandon pre-existing relationships and solve problems together - as a team.
Frequent topics of discussion both during and after the event are:
Your group begins the day without any idea how
to sail a boat together, and certainly not to race it.
And yet, by the end of the day, each team of 4 to 6 will
race their own boat against others who, if possible, race
every week.
Sailing small vessels creates an exciting atmosphere that sharpens each participant's attention and compels each self-managed team to fully integrate individual efforts. Through this exhilarating experience, participants develop leadership and communication skills, strengthen relationships, share risk-taking, and improve trust. The debriefing session back on shore examines communication patterns, leadership styles, decision-making processes, and team effectiveness.
Our professional facilitators work with or are certified sailing instructors to introduce your group to the sailboats and teach the fundamental sailing skills. Amid the spray of sea water, team members rotate through the different roles of the sailing crew, which allows each person to take the helm and handle the lines and sails. The team must work in unison throughout the adventure, tacking and jibing, sail-handling and steering, while our staff members continuously monitor safety and focus the group's attention on team discoveries.
After a team has learned and practiced the necessary sailing and teamwork skills, it is ready for the regatta. Each boat's crew uses its new skills to try to outmaneuver the other boats to the finish line.
Each participant completes an action plan related to specific goals they set for themselves. Based upon this, a daily action plan is created with specific tasks that will create certain benefits to the person and organization.
An enjoyable, leisurely sail or an activity based team sailing adventure awaits you.
There are simply too many variables to provide a cost sheet. Please contact us, give us the details and we can give you an idea of costs based upon your needs.

Patrick Dillon to leave White House
Amid a series of personnel changes aimed at ramping up President Obama's 2012 reelection effort, deputy White House political director Patrick Dillon is leaving his post to take a job with a prominent Democratic consulting firm.
Dillon has signed on with Hilltop Public Solutions, a D.C.-based Democratic consulting shop where he will serve as a partner. Longtime Democratic operatives Mo Elleithee and Nick Baldick as well as Ken Morley, who managed the 2006 race of Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D), are also partners in the firm.
"We're thrilled to have Patrick join the Hilltop team," said Elleithee. "His impressive background will be a tremendous asset as we continue to grow our strategic campaign practice. And, maybe even more importantly, it's always good to have another Hoya fan among our ranks."
(Baldick, Elleithee and Dillon -- not to mention the Fix -- are Georgetown graduates.)
Dillon's departure coincides with a major re-shuffling of the political operation within the White House.
Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, Dillon's wife, will leave her post as executive director of the Democratic National Committee to become a deputy campaign manager for the Obama reelection race in Chicago. (Patrick Dillon will be based out of Washington but will move to Chicago with his wife, according to Elleithee.)
White House political director Patrick Gaspard will take O'Malley Dillon's spot at the DNC. White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina will move to Chicago to become campaign manager of the reelection. White House Social Secretary Julianna Smoot will also move to the Windy City to be a deputy campaign manager. Mitch Stewart, the director of Organizing for America, the operation built to care and nurture the massive email list built during the 2008 campaign, will also be moving to Chicago, per Politico's Ben Smith.
The departures of Gaspard and Dillon will leave political responsibilities within the White House almost entirely in the hands of David Plouffe who managed Obama's 2008 campaign and recently joined the official White House staff.
For Dillon, the move is a reunion of sorts. He and Elleithee worked together on the gubernatorial campaign of Mark Warner (Va.) in 2001 while he and Baldick collaborated in 2004 on the first presidential bid of former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards (N.C.). Dillon went on to serve as Iowa Gov. Chet Culver's chief of staff before joining the White House as political director after the 2008 election.

The appearance and smell of your urine—as well as the frequency with which you have to go—can provide many clues to what else is going on in your body. And the urine content will help to find the very early alarm of kidneys. The tests are most often performed, when you are at the risk to develop any kidney damages.
What are the tests for kidney damages?
Tests for kidney damages focus on the content of urine, which totally include 12 indexes as follows.
- U-TP (Urinary Total Protein). A urine total protein test is conducted to detect excess protein in the urine. When U-TP>150mg/L, kidney problems may be expected.
- U-malb (Urinary Microalbumin). Microalbumin indicates the early damages to glomerular mechanical barrier. The normal reference is Umalb≦30mg/L.
- U-TRF (Urinary retinol binding protein). U-TRF indicates the early damages to glomerular charge barrier. The normal reference is Umalb≦1.9mg/L..
- U-IgG (Urinary Immunoglobulin G). Large amount of U-IgG tells that glomerular filtration membrane is damaged seriously. The normal reference is Umalb≦8.8mg/L.
- Uβ2-M (Urinary β2-Microalbumin). The characteristics of beta2 microglobulin (B2M) make it useful as a tumor marker for some blood cell cancers, for detecting kidney damage, and for distinguishing between glomerular and tubular disorders of the kidney.
- Uα1-M (Urinaryα1-Microalbumin). It indicates the reabsorption of renal tubules, which is a better reference than B2M in most conditions.
- α2-M (Urinaryα1-Macroalglobulin). Its appearance indicates postrenal proteinuria.
- light chainκis always the marker of prerenal proteinuria which is a common symptom of light chain disease, multiple myeloma, lymphoma etc.
- light chainγhas a similar function of light chain γ.
- U-NAG (Urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase). Urinary concentration of NAG is a sensitive index of renal tubular function.
- U-GGT (Urinary Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase). Urinary concentration of NAG is a sensitive index of renal tubular function.
- Urinary Osmotic Pressure. It is a smart index to reflect the concentration and dilution function of renal tubules.
Why choose the tests for kidney damages?
It helps your doctor make an overview about your kidney medical condition, including:
● whether your kidney are injured or not
● Which part of your kidney are injured, glomeruli or renal tubules?
● How severity is your kidney damages? The tests offer directions for your doctor to choose drugs for you.
● The tests find your sensitivity to current drugs and are the basis for your doctor to consider drug changes for you.

This Blog Covers:
- Back pain can range from a mild discomfort to a severe, debilitating pain; it just depends on the cause or severity of symptoms.
- You may have encountered symptoms of back pain before, but always wondered how they began.
- In this blog, the spine specialists at American Spine discuss ways back pain starts in the body.
Before we can explain how back pain begins, we must first discuss the anatomy and physiology of the spine. There are approximately 29 bones that make up the spinal column, which include:
- Seven (7) bones in the cervical spine (neck)
- Twelve (12) bones in the thoracic spine (mid-back)
- Five (5) bones in the lumbar spine (low back)
- Four (4) bones fused together to make the sacrum
- One tailbone (coccyx)
Spinal "bones" are called vertebrae and they are stacked upon one another with spinal "discs" located in between them. These spinal discs are actually called intervertebral discs and they are made of cartilage, collagen, and water. Finally, there are a number of ligaments, tendons, and muscles that hold the spinal bones and discs together. The spinal cord is located within the spinal canal and is protected by the muscles and ligaments surrounding the spine, as well as the spine itself.
We mentioned this before, but back pain can occur for a number of reasons. When it comes to aging, back pain usually starts when spinal vertebrae begin to wear away, or intervertebral discs start to lose their water content. This can cause cracks and ruptures in the spinal bones and discs, causing mild to severe pain.
A traumatic injury to the spine may be another reason why back pain starts. Depending on where the injury occurred, the vertebrae, discs, or nerve roots may be immediately impacted, causing shooting or burning pain in areas of the spine and upper or lower extremities.
A chronic degenerative condition may be another cause for back pain. These diseases often develop slowly and progress over time. Most patients can get away with over-the-counter pain relievers or minimally invasive procedures, but severe cases of spinal degeneration may require surgery.
Regardless of how your back pain started, it's important to see a specialist at American Spine before it worsens. We can discuss the many different treatment options available to mitigate your situation. Call American Spine today!
At American Spine, we are dedicated to treating chronic pain and spine conditions. Offering the latest in minimally invasive spine surgery and other effective treatment options, American Spine is the leading pain physician group of California.

Home has to be more than just a place you go to to get some sleep between working and playing. It needs to be a place of refuge where you can relax, feel safe and enjoy spending time there. This is why home ownership has been a big part of the American Dream for so long. Now you can have that and more in apartment living. I never thought that would be possible. Many years ago I was adamant about never living in an apartment, now there are apartments in Henderson that have much more in the way of amenities than what I could ever afford when buying a house.
My wife and I found luxury resort-style apartments in Henderson that are everything we wanted. We have a beautiful kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Our living room is big. We have two large bedrooms, ceiling fans and a washer and dryer in the apartment. The days of laundry rooms and laundromats are over. Outside we have an amazing swimming pool in a unique shape as well as an outdoor spa. We are close to Cornerstone Park and only a hop away from Routes 215 and 515. WinCo foods is just down the street. We have luxury and convenience all around us.
I never expected an apartment to offer so much. I never expected the rooms to be as big as they are. The last thing you want if you choose apartment living is to feel cramped. Another nice thing about modern apartment construction technology is the ability to dampen sounds so you do not hear your neighbors. That was one thing that made me not like apartments I saw in the past. Now you can have an apartment that is quieter than a house on a suburban street.

Consider the following picture: Recent growth has relied on a huge construction boom fueled by surging real estate prices, and exhibiting all the classic signs of a bubble. There was rapid growth in credit — with much of that growth taking place not through traditional banking but rather through unregulated "shadow banking" neither subject to government supervision nor backed by government guarantees. Now the bubble is bursting — and there are real reasons to fear financial and economic crisis.The world doesn't need more bad news. But sadly the world is indifferent to humans, their needs, their wants. While Krugman worries about the effect of China on the world, Kim Jong-il has died in Korea creating an unstable mess that could easily spin out of control.
Am I describing Japan at the end of the 1980s? Or am I describing America in 2007? I could be. But right now I'm talking about China, which is emerging as another danger spot in a world economy that really, really doesn't need this right now.
I've been reluctant to weigh in on the Chinese situation, in part because it's so hard to know what's really happening. All economic statistics are best seen as a peculiarly boring form of science fiction, but China's numbers are more fictional than most. I'd turn to real China experts for guidance, but no two experts seem to be telling the same story.
Still, even the official data are troubling — and recent news is sufficiently dramatic to ring alarm bells.
When I was a kid I heard the so-called "Chinese" curse of "may you live in interesting times". All I knew is that I desperately wanted to live in boring times, but sadly my whole life has been lived in the maelstrom of "interesting" events bringing misery and chaos. That is how the world works. Complete indifference to humans needs or wants.

Torque wrench is basically a tool which indicates the force applied to the twists and turns on the windings of a nut or a bolt.It's precision of applying a specific torque or we can say force to tighten a nut or any bolt makes it an important part of the day to day life.Earlier when it was invented in the year 1918 by Conrad Bahr was basically used in the Water departments for tightening of water mains but today as also mentioned online at toptorquewrench.com, it's use has been widespread in mainly the automobile industry and airlines industry.
Consider you are in the middle of a forest and your car breaks down.May be you know how to fix your car or may be you do not but you obviously will try. You see bolts and nuts coming out of your car ,you grab your tool kit and you find a torque wrench .This torque wrench would be so precise and so user friendly that you in no time would be able to fix your car and go to your way.
Torque wrenches are available in different types like
Clicker torque wrench- While using this torque wrench you get a �click' sound indicating you are done twisting the nut or bolt.
Hydraulic torque wrench- They are used for tightening large torques with a higher accuracy level.They are used in heavy machinery and aviation industry.
Electric with digital torque wrench- A torque wrench with a digital twist.This type of torque wrench also does the same thing but it also measures the tightening angle from the snug point.The angle is measured by electronic gyroscope.
Mechatronic torque wrench-It has the properties same as clicker torque wrench but also measures the final point at which the work is done indicating by the beep.
There are varieties of torque wrenches available serving different purpose with different functionality.
The classification of torque wrench has been done in 4 types.
¼ inch drive torque wrench which is used for nuts and bolts.
3/8 inch drive torque wrench is used for cars and small vehicles.
� inch drive torque wrench is used for car, trucks and SUV's .
1 inch drive torque wrench is used for heavy vehicles, cargo airplanes, marine work .
Now we know what a torque wrench is , what does it do, it's classification, in how many types it is available but what we do not know is HOW TO USE A TORQUE WRENCH THE RIGHT WAY.
Firstly you should set your torque wrench to zero .
When you are using a torque wrench for twisting a nut or a bolt when it has been properly twisted to the standards you will be get an indication (the indications varies with the type of torque wrench used)which means you have to stop winding and the work of torque wrench has been done.
Another important thing to remember while using torque wrench is when you use it ,use it a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction to give the best results.
Try not to drop your torque wrench as if once dropped it looses it's accuracy by 30%.
By using the above rules you can simply use the torque wrench.

This assignment is due electronically by 11:59 PM on Monday Jan. 29 (Monday night). Read Section 8 in the Course Information guide for details on the electronic handin procedures. Also, please put your name and recitation section at the top of your handin. Programs in all homework assignments should be well documented -- see the C++ Programming Guidelines handout for details. Before starting on this assignment, we encourage you to go through the ObjectCenter Tutorial that was handed out.
Once upon a time there were two professors named [name] and [another_name] who liked to stay up late at night and eat [name]'s [plural_noun].(This would be a really short game). The reader looks at this text, which is hidden from the chooser, and asks the chooser for words to fill in the place-holders representing parts of speech. Then, when all the spaces are filled in, the reader reads out loud the (usually very silly) resulting story. For instance, a transcript of a game using the above text might go like this:
Reader: give me a name.
Chooser: Danny.
Reader: give me another_name.
Chooser: Bruce.
Reader: give me a plural noun.
Chooser: floppy disks.
Reader: OK, ``Once upon a time there were two professors named Danny and Bruce who liked to stay up late at night and eat Danny's floppy disks.''
This game is slightly fancier than the standard MAD-LIBS game because each response by the Chooser (like ``Danny'') may be used in several places (all places that have ``name'').
In this assignment, you will write a program that plays the role of the Reader in this game. The user will play the role of the Chooser. The text will be stored in a file, and your program will read it in, asking the user for words to fill in the parts of speech listed. When all the parts of speech are filled in, your program will then print out the resulting story.
We have broken this task into five parts, but your answers to all these parts may be placed into a single file. (I.e., you don't need to turn in 5 files). We have also given you some startup code and definitions in the files madlib.c and madlib.h in the assignments/assign1 directory. These files contain code for doing file I/O and some useful type definitions. We suggest you just copy them over to your working directory and add your code to them.
typedef char word_t[40]; struct list_struct { word_t word; list_struct *next; }; typedef list_struct *list_t; // list_struct is a struct, list_t is a pointer.
In this definition, a list_struct contains two things: a character array of length 40, and a pointer that may point to another list_struct. (A real C++ hacker would use a ``class'' instead of a ``struct'' but structs work fine for our purposes.)
Write a function insert_word with the prototype: list_t insert_word(list_t lis, char * new_word);
Your function should take a list and a word and insert the word onto the front of the list, returning the new list created. You may assume that the word has at most 39 characters. For instance, suppose we run the code fragment:
word_list_t mylist; mylist = insert_word(NULL, "hello"); mylist = insert_word(mylist, "goodbye");
Then, at the end, mylist will be a list with its first element containing the word ``goodbye'' and the second element containing the word ``hello''.
Consider the following structure for a list where each element contains two words.
struct pair_list_struct { word_t pattern, replacement; pair_list_struct *next; }; typedef pair_list_struct *pair_list_t;
Write a function insert_word_pair with the prototype:
pair_list_t insert_word_pair(pair_list_t pl, char *pattern, char *replacement);
This function should do exactly what insert_word does, but the node it inserts contains two strings (pattern and replacement), not just one.
Write a function that prints out the words in a list in the reverse order that they appear in the list. Your function should have the prototype: void print_in_reverse(list_t lis);
Your function should print out the words in the list with a single space separating adjacent pairs of words. This function can easily be written recursively.
Write a function with the following prototype:
char * find_replacement(pair_list_t lis, char * pattern);
This function searches lis for an element whose pattern component matches the given pattern, and returns the corresponding replacement. If there is no such pattern it returns NULL. For example, suppose:
pair_list_t mylist; mylist = insert_word_pair(NULL, "*verb", "runs"); mylist = insert_word_pair(mylist, "*person", "John");
Now find_replacement(mylist, "*verb") returns "runs", and find_replacement(mylist, "doggie") returns NULL.
Note: This can be implemented either recursively, or with a for or while loop. The standard strcmp() function will be useful for finding the matching pattern.
Now your job is to write the MAD-LIBS program. We encourage you, though we do not require you, to use your solutions to parts (A) through (C) and to use the code we have given out, in your solution to this part. If you wish, you may change the function prototypes or the struct definitions we have given, but you shouldn't need to. If you decide not to use your solutions to (A) through (C) or not to use the code we have provided or to change the structs or function prototypes, be especially careful to document your code well. (Of course, you should document your code well in any case.)
We have placed object code in the assign1 directory (called madlib.dec for the DECstation, madlib.sparc for the sparcstation, and madlib.hp for the Hewlet Packard workstation) showing the sort of behavior that we expect from your code. We have placed sample text files in the files input1, input2, and input3.
Text file format: The format of a text file is that words representing parts of speech have a ``*'' as their first character. For instance, the above example (also in input1) looks like:
Once upon a time there were two professors named *name and *another_name who liked to stay up late at night and eat *name 's *plural_noun.This way you can determine if a word is a part-of-speech by just looking at the first character.
File I/O: madlib.c contains a code fragment that asks a user for a file name, and then attaches that to an input stream called ``the_text_file''. You can read words from the_text_file just like you read words from cin. For instance, if foo is a character array, you can type: the_text_file >> foo
to read a word into foo.
You will need to use this stream to read words from the text file, you will need to use ``cout'' to print requests to the user, and you will need to use ``cin'' to receive the responses from the user.
Your job: Your job is to write a program with the same basic behavior as the object code we have handed out. It should read through the text file one word at a time. Each time it sees a word that begins with '*', it should check to see if that word has already appeared in the text. If so, then the program should go on to the next word in the file. If not, then it should ask the user for a part of speech specified by the word. Once the program has finished reading the file, it should print out the words in the text file with each part of speech replaced by the user's word. Note that even if the same part of speech word, such as ``*name'' appears more than once in the file, the user should only be asked to provide that word once, and the user's response should replace all occurrences of the word. You may assume that each part of speech and each response of the user is a single word. For instance, the response to ``Give me a noun:'' won't be ``telephone pole'', though it might be ``telephone_pole''. Also, you may assume that each word in the file and each word given by the user is at most 39 characters long. You should not assume any maximum number of words in the text files. Finally, it is fine if the output of your program puts all the words onto one single line (just like our object code does). The reason for this is that the ``>>'' operator skips blanks, tabs, and newlines in the text file.
Hints: The easiest way to do this is to process the text file one word at a time. As you process the text file, you should maintain two lists, one that contains the bindings between the different part of speech words that have appeared in the text file and the corresponding responses from the user, and another that contains the words of the output (in reverse order). Each time a word is read from the text file, it (or the corresponding replacement word from the user if it is a part of speech) is inserted at the front of the output list. After creating the list of output words in reverse order, the solution to part (B) can be used to print out the words in the list. Also, one convenient fact about C++ is that the ``>>'' operator returns 0 when it gets to the end of a file.
Good luck!

Checklist for Heads of Department/Directors
HOD of Academic Department Leaflet
Handbook for low risk (office based) Departments
Handbook for high risk Departments
Law Poster - Easy Read Leaflet

Department Heads
Departmental Heads have key health and safety responsibilities for the people and activities under their control. A simple ticklist has been developed to help Departmental Heads to fulfil these responsibilities.
University policies for a range of different Health & Safety activities have been developed together with relevant guidance, checklists, templates and self-help training whenever possible.
Departments are required to develop local arrangements to demonstrate how they will manage the risks from their work activities and comply with University policy. Such arrangements are often in the form of a Handbook. All departmental handbooks, safety statements and other related documentation must reflect the core Health and Safety Policy of the University, and the advice and guidance provided by the University Health, Safety & Environment Service.
To assist in this goal, reduce duplication and improve consistency across the University, two Handbook templates have been produced. The Handbooks can be used for staff or students or both. The templates include elements which can be adapted to individual Departments and thus incorporate additional local rules or arrangements. It also includes a sign off sheet at the end of Handbook if you wish to use it. If you would like to provide constructive feedback on the templates then please contact the University Health, Safety & Environment Service:
Law Poster
A copy of the HSE's Health & Safety law poster must be available for the use and information of all employees. The poster can be purchased by Departments from the HSE's website or a copy of the electronic leaflet can be accessed in pdf form either as an easy read version, large print version or talking version.
Professional Support and Advice
The University Health, Safety & Environment Service has both a strategic and operational role across all areas of the University's work activities, where these have a potential impact on health, safety and wellbeing. This means that the service is available and applicable to staff, students and contractors.
The Head of Service is the "competent person" appointed by the University under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Their role is to provide specialist advice to the University on all aspects of occupational safety and health and to put in place systems to monitor the health and safety performance of the University. Should the need arise they have the authority to take emergency mitigating action on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor in order to remedy a situation which poses a serious risk to safety or health.
The Head of Service leads a team of professional Health & Safety Advisers who provide:
Advice and guidance on all health and safety matters
Interpret and disseminate relevant legislation through policy and guidance
Deliver training to enable health and safety responsibilities to be met
Manage a system for the control and use of radioactive substances and hazardous waste
Investigate and report on accidents and incidents to prevent reoccurrence
Coordinate and manage an Occupational Health service
Manage an on-going programme of audits and inspections to help ensure legal compliance and improve health and safety practice
Liaise with the Health & Safety Executive, the Environment Agency, Police, Fire & Rescue Service and other regulatory authorities on matters of health and safety

The prompt for this last Stream-of-Consciousness Saturday of April 2017 is, appropriately enough, "Yard," because the A to Z Challenge letter of the day is Y.
"Going yard" is baseball talk for hitting a home run. I have no idea why people started saying that, because I've never said it and I've watched baseball most of my life. None of my friends used it when I was growing up, either, so it's a recent term, probably inflicted on us by ESPN, which as we all know stands for
Extremely Silly People Network Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. It was hardly watchable back when it started, and it's only gotten worse in recent years. Someone told me their share of the monthly cable bill is around $6 per subscriber, whether or not the subscriber watches it.
For anyone considering "cutting the cord," i.e. cancelling cable TV or satellite TV and getting your programs over-the-air, that's another thing you should consider. We cut the cord and no longer pay for ESPN and all the little ESPNs, CNN and its brood, Fox News and its clan, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, RT, Bravo, A&E, and all the other channels we used to get and never watch.
Of course there are a couple of channels I'd like to get: Fox Sports Southeast (which carries Braves games), MeTV, and all the channels and subchannels we get now over-the-air. Technically, I understand they can do that now, just give people access to certain channels, but there's too much money in it for Disney (which owns ESPN and all the little Disney channels), Time Warner (which owns all the CNNs and all the channels that used to be owned by Ted Turner), and all the other companies that provide programming to cable and satellite systems, and they've gotten with the cable providers and ensured that won't happen anytime soon. It would take an act of Congress to bust that monopoly up, but of course members of Congress get lots of money from the cable operators and providers and won't do anything like that anytime soon. Money, incidentally, they get from the poor bastards that subscribe to cable and satellite TV and get hundreds of channels they don't want and never watch.
There are actually laws in the United States that ostensibly prevent this sort of thing, among them the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, but hey, there are ways around laws like that anyway, aren't there?
So I've discovered.
I had intended on segueing into a discussion of one of the great bands from the British Invasion, namely The Yardbirds, for whom Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page (three of the greatest guitar players ever) once played. Here's "Heart Full of Soul" from 1968, featuring Jimmy Page playing guitar.
The Yardbirds broke up before going on a Scandinavian tour in the late Sixties, but they gave Jimmy Page the right to form his own band, to be called The New Yardbirds, to go on tour. Page took bassist John Paul Jones, drummer John Bonham, and vocalist Robert Plant with him, and when they got back they started recording an album. Some former members of the Yardbirds got a cease-and-desist order preventing them from using the name "The New Yardbirds," so they picked a new one: Led Zeppelin. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Title: Danny
Author: Margo Anne Rhea
Genre: Contemporary-Erotic Romance
Publisher: Entranced Publishing Length: 38 pgs
Release Date: May 20, 2013
Paige Warren is sure she's come to terms with her impending divorce, until she wakes up in bed with her soon-to-be ex, Danny. Worse yet, the bed belongs to Stacey, the sexual surrogate Paige and Danny have been sleeping with for months -- and Stacey's not there. As much as Paige tries to deny it, she soon realizes she's still in love with Danny. Now she's torn between him and the woman who holds them together. Should she risk hurting Stacey to rekindle a monogamous relationship with the man she once thought she'd spend the rest of her life with, or should she learn from past experience?
Danny is a sensual, erotic novella following one woman's struggle between a love she thought was over and a relationship that's barely begun.
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this short story. It was definitely a hot one with lots of sexy scenes. It does have a plot. However, keep in mind that sex is a huge part of the plot. If you enjoy short erotica stories with lots of sex then absolutely give this one a try. While this is a short story it is a complete one. It doesn't leave you feeling like parts were missing or there is more to be told.
*I recieved this book for review but that has in no way effected my opinion.*

THE MORNING I REALIZED I still had feelings for Danny was a rainy, gloomy one. Just like all those lazy, stormy Saturdays he and I used to spend in bed together–before Stacey. A hand slid up my thigh, pulling me from sleep. I stretched into the caress, reaching out for her. My muscles ached with that well-used, morning-after feeling. How like Stacey–to wake up wanting more.
I crawled sleepy fingers across linen until I felt warmth, smooth skin, a hipbone. Goose bumps rose under my hand, and I traveled north for more fun. The corners of my lips turned up in a smile as I anticipated cupping Stacey's full breast, her taut nipple tickling my palm.
But instead I was fondling a very flat, very male chest. I'd like to say I shot off the bed faster than I'd ever moved before. But I didn't. Instead, I lingered, breathing in time to his heartbeat. I would know that cadence anywhere. I'd laid my head on that chest and listened to that heart beat a million times before, but I pried my eyes open and focused on him, just to be sure.
The sight that greeted me was all too familiar: lean muscles; smooth, tan skin; dark, military hair. His square jaw clenched tight, and his brown eyes narrowed in an unreadable expression. Yep, I was in bed with my husband–my naked, estranged husband. And our girlfriend was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Stacey?" I whispered the words. Maybe I was afraid I would spook him. Maybe I was afraid I'd spook myself. I still hadn't taken my hand back.
"Work, early." The old Danny would have made sure I knew when she'd left, when she would be back, and every detail in between. Of course, the old Danny wouldn't be married to one woman and sleeping with another.
I sighed and reclaimed my hand; his was still on my leg. Three years of marriage had been reduced to two-word sentences and mistaken caresses. I slid to the edge of the bed, keeping the ecru sheet stretched securely over my nudity. Danny traced my spine with his fingertips as I turned my bare back to him and kicked my legs over the edge of the bed.
He exhaled heavily. "Don't go." His voice was soft and gravelly. I froze at the sound of it. "Paige, stay." He tried again, but all his entreaty did was spur me into motion.
My panties were on the floor by my feet, and I wasted no time yanking the pink lace up my legs. The sheet slipped, falling with a soft whoosh onto its fitted counterpart as I stood to pull those panties into place. He moaned the second my ass was covered.

I'm Pageant's webmaster, so I know about the tremendous work Pageant does in The Gambia. Pageant's micro-loans enable poor people in Gambian communities to start their own small businesses.
Event details
Help Pageant start new micro-loan schemes
Micro-loans are for people too poor for normal banks to bother with. Schemes are started with external money, but are then run by local committees, and loans paid back fund the next group of loans. Micro-loans are a powerful instrument to lift third-world communities out of poverty.
Pageant's micro-loan scheme started in 2005 with 1500 Dalasis (£23 at January 2015 exchange rate) lent to each of six women in the village of Sika in The Gambia's North Bank region. This scheme is still going strong, with many groups of women getting loans as the previous group repay theirs. The scheme produced enormous benefits to the local economy, a spin-off being the establishment of the Sika Village Market.
Since then loan schemes have been started in Bakalarr (2007), Gunjur (2009), Jambanjelly (2012), Siffoe and Kanikunda (2013) and Brikama (2014). Yet more schemes are being organised. Your donation will help to fund these new schemes.

CONTRACT arborist
Skilled, safe, efficient and reliable
- Insurance: Independent contractor, Arboriculture International LLC carries it's own workers compensation insurance, a $1-2M aggregate policy, as well as a CCB License, #205536.
- Gear and Tools: Advanced gear for technical climbing and rigging, PPE, saws for any job, GRCS, and truck with 4x4/dump.
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety is most important to me, my family and friends. I am an industrial athlete. I respect my body and its limitations. For this reason I wear chainsaw protective gear, hardhat, eye and ear protection on every job. I will also provide other workers onsite with PPE and remind employers of the importance of PPE if employees are not properly outfitted.
On job/site training: I often find this option as most effective for companies that request training. This offers me on real, on the job scenarios. Additionally, returned visits for training allow for monitoring, follow up and advancement based on progress. This also allows time for gear inspection, time and job efficiency analysis and recommendations as needed.
- Why Hire a Contract Arborist?: Regardless of whether a company has many or no employees, bringing in outside professional experience will add skill set, refresh safe practices and enhance performance. In addition, these services may be used as short-term solutions for a myriad of job scenarios as well as training.
- Aerial Rescue: 1 day course focusing on readiness and preparedness, risk assessment, basic EHAP, gear, first response scenarios and much more. This class is designed for any arborist climbing level.
- Basic Tree Climber: 1 day crash course beginning with knots and hitches, tree assessment anchors and loading. Continuing on with access methods, advancement and lateral movement.
- Advanced Tree Climber: This 1 day course is designed for climbers young and old who have basic climbing experience, but who would like to climb more efficiently with modern systems.
- Rigging: The rigging course begins with review on the evolution of rigging practices, then moves directly into the use of modern rigging equipment, ropes, pulleys, mechanical advantage, port-a-wrap and the GRCS. Finally ending the day with systems: negative rigging, slide lines and floating anchors.

Recreation Climbing
Work Hard, play hard
Old-growth in Portland, OR
This is some footage Steve Dorst shot with the Phantom copter in Portland. Myself and climbing partner, Will Koomjian traversing through the crowns of two, 250' Douglas-firs between week workdays. Most of the film projects we have been involved in since 2011 have used drones. This is truly the best modern way to shoot moving imagery that captures the full scale and essence of trees. Especially when adding the human element.
Treeverse: The Tree Climbing Documentary Film
Having mastered the art of navigating in trees hundreds of feet tall, the Ascending the Giants team set out for an unprecedented enterprise. Completely independent from the ground and unsupported for the duration, climbers Brian French and Will Koomjian crossed a one kilometer transect through a natural grove of an Oregon White Oak woodland forest. All of the equipment needed for this Treeverse, including food, climbing equipment and overnight gear was carried by the two men during the five day canopy trek. Using innovative rope techniques and custom designed tools, their climbing style is low impact and based on the principals of Leave No Trace wilderness ethics. There is currently no documented record of any similar attempt.
Elevator System
The Old Growth Eco Tour was a vertical exploration in an ancient grove of towering Douglas-fir, Grand Fir and Western Red Cedar. Here, the ATG team assisted over 100 participants during a 200 foot ascent toward the top of an old growth tree. Ornithologist, Dr. David Anderson and Biologist Eric Forsman were attached to the systems as personal guides explaining the ecological functionality of this forest and the forest/urban forest interface.
This was an opportunity for many to explore and experience the true Northwest in an actual Oregon old-growth forest grove.
The Tandem Elevator System was designed and facilitated by Brian French and the ATG team. Photos of the canopy tour below:

The Civil War (1861-1865) remains the central, most defining event in American history. Richmond, Virginia, was at the heart of the conflict. As the industrial and political capital of the Confederacy, Richmond was the physical and psychological prize over which two mighty American armies contended in bloody battle from 1861 to 1865. At stake were some of the founding principles of the United States as the growing nation divided over the existence and expansion of slavery. Only after the new Confederacy fired on a federal fort in Charleston harbor and Lincoln had called for troops to preserve the Union, did Virginia join the Confederacy. As war began, neither side anticipated the brutal clashes and home front destruction that brought death or injury to more than one million Americans and devastation to a broad landscape, much of it in Virginia.
Cannon boomed within earshot of Richmond. All of its residents saw their lives transformed. Wartime Richmond, swollen by government, the military, refugees, prisoners, and the wounded, lived with anxiety and hope. Martial law and rationing were routine. Disease claimed thousands.
Landowners outside Richmond saw their farms converted into battlefields. Previously unknown place-names like Cold Harbor, Gaines' Mill, Malvern Hill, and New Market Heights attained national significance for the key battles that were fought in the vicinity of Richmond. Naval military history was made at the battle of Drewry's Bluff. Robert E. Lee fought his first battle as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia at Beaver Dam Creek in 1862; Ulysses S. Grant's army experienced unprecedented futility on the bloody fields of Cold Harbor. Titans tangled repeatedly here. Earthworks scarred miles of farmland. Wheat fields became killing fields. Cemeteries started dotting the landscape.
On April 4 and 5, 1865, President Lincoln made a remarkable visit to Richmond as he pressed to conclude the war that had cost over 620,000 lives "with malice toward none, with charity for all…" His assassination days later portended a less charitable course for the aftermath.
Today, the park preserves more than 2200 acres of Civil War resources in 13 units, including the main visitor center at the famous Tredegar Iron Works and the Chimborazo Medical Museum, on the site of Chimborazo Hospital.
Richmond National Battlefield Park is one of dozens of National Park Service sites related to the Civil War.

Dear Mummy:
You throw me the odd piece of popcorn when I look particularly beseeching. Those little people? They hold the bowl at my head level so I can graze at my leisure. Wow mummy! I got almost an entire bag of popcorn. Why don't you do that?
Also Mummy, I had to go outside last night (which had nothing to do with the entire bowl of popcorn, why do you say such mean things to me?!) and it was raining. Again. My feet got wet. Again.
Mummy, since you are clearly not as magical as I thought you were, maybe the little people could do something about the weather? After all, they were smart enough to give me the entire bowl of popcorn.
PS – Cookies are good. Rollover is better.

Should Auld Aquaintance Be Forgot…
Well, it's 2010. I didn't post much in 2009 because this blog is about doom only. It's not my personal life blog. It's not a blog about inventions or neat stories. It's solely about doom, and 2009 was the greatest year of doom-hiding fakery I've ever seen and plan to ever see in my life.
In short, 2009 was one big sham, and it was boring to write about. I think 2010 will be more interesting.
While the Dow is at 15 month highs and everywhere you turn there are green shoots sprouting and growing and multiplying like a chia pet on time-elapsed camera, I still remain a pessimist about the whole thing, and here are some reasons why.
1) AIG. Remember the big news that all the major banks had paid back their bailout loans (with interest)? What if I said they paid it back because in addition to the original loan, the government simply gave them cash in secret to pay it off? That's essentially what happened. Banks that should have lost money on their speculative investments were paid in full by AIG, which means paid in full by the taxpayer, who assumed AIG's debt obligations. Oh yeah, and our treasury secretary, purposely didn't want us to know this fact. Check it out.
2) Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac. In addition to the backdoor bailout mentioned above, the government has been covering banks' losses on crappy real estate bets by buying up "toxic mortgages" through Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac. And apparently $400 billion is not enough. Over Christmas, Obama apparently quietly lifted the limit from $400 billion to infinity going forward as the government once again lets banks make trillions during boom times and then sticks taxpayers with losses during the other times. It's called privitizing gains and socializing losses, folks. The banks win and you lose.
3) Public pensions. They are trillions in debt. People in the public sector have been promised money and there is no money left. Unions fight cuts, and taxpayers fight taxes. Politicians sit with their thumbs in their asses. And the problem spreads. Case in point: Illinios. Apparently those politicians never heard the schoolyard song that that went "…sitting on a fence, trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents. You miss. You miss…"
4) California, and states in general. California's much publicized "budget balancing" last summer was, in the vein of 2009, a charade. Now it wants $8 billion from the Federal Government because politicians there also won't cut and won't tax. And it's not just California. New York is bankrupt too. Eventually, all states are going to go hat in hand to the Federal Government with the magical money-making machine that can print prosperity. Amazing, that prosperity machine. Why don't we just print quadrillions of dollars? We'll be so rich!
5) Emergency Benefits. The government likes to talk about how the unemployment rate is dropping. What they mean is the number of new people signing up for unemployment benefits is dropping, and the amount of people receiving state unemployment benefits is dropping, the latter almost exclusively due to peoples' benefit time limit running out and them still not having a job. This is easily provable because of a humongous jump in so-called "emergency unemployment benefits" which, conveniently, fall into a different category and aren't reflected in the official unemployment numbers. For details, read here.
All of these stories individually are bad enough, but cumulatively, paint a completely different picture than the silly news networks spin. But then, what can you expect from media, who instead of reporting on the Health Care Debate as a government debt obligation issue (the government has $80 trillion in MediCare and Social Security benefits that are not reflected in the National Debt and knows it can't afford and is therefore looking at ways to renege on their debts) reports it as a ridiculous philosophical argument between Demublicans.

Maria de la Iglesia's Striking Photos of a Spanish Village
What you'll notice first about Maria de la Iglesia's Pueblo series is its stark, bleak, darkness. The Madrid-born, London-based photographer documents a Spanish village almost exclusively through the eyes of only its oldest, weariest-looking residents. We gaze into the beseeching eyes of bedridden elderly women, stroll though the overgrown grass of a neglected graveyard, watch cattle parade through the streets in the eerie glow of twilight. According Iglesia, the photos are meant to be both serious and absurd. "Pueblo is not only a personal journey into the absurd, but it has also become an exploration of the human condition," she has said. "It is a visual and psychological observation that looks with irony and dark humour at the individuals themselves in a context of contrasts." See some of our favorite images from the series after the jump, and then visit Iglesia's website for more.

A Steam database listing seems to have leaked the news of the next installment in Telltale's The Walking Dead. According to a listing on Steamdb, a piece of downloadable information regarding content titled "400 Days" has appeared on Steam.
If this is true, it would be in line with the recent Vines that Telltale has been leaking via Twitter. The short videos feature quick looks at various new characters, and have featured titles named after various days. So far there's been Day 2, Day 220, and Day 236.
If you saw Telltale's "Day 184" Vine, you may have noticed a quick shot of what looked like a neon sign displaying the number 4. Could this be in reference to 400 days? We were unable to reach Telltale for confirmation.
Previously, The Walking Dead writer Gary Whitta teased that more The Walking Dead is coming before season two. Telltale has targeted a Fall 2013 release for its second season, but no official details have been revealed just yet.
For more on The Walking Dead, check out our review of season one and our predictions for season two.
Marty Sliva is an Associate Editor at IGN. He still wants Telltale to make a rad Scooby-Doo game. Follow him on Twitter @McBiggitty and on IGN.
