Over this time, its red volcanic soils have been cultivated for many uses. My father Maurice, who came home at age fourteen to work the farm with his father George, grew mixed cereals, hay, beef cattle and dairy cows until he died in 2012, aged 87.
Today, myself, my brothers Rod and Greg, and our families manage the farm. Rod started the transition to organic farming in the 1980s, leading the way in reducing use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. We have since established tree-crops of chestnuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, and apples, plus native trees and shrubs to provide shade and shelter for livestock. My wife Carolyn and I introduced wine grapes in 1994 with two hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the first harvest in 1998 producing a small quantity of wine that was sold locally. Further diversification into potatoes, carrots, beetroot, parsnip, sweet corn, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbages, lettuce and much more has occurred on a seasonal basis.
In 1985, Captains Creek became one of the first commercial farms to be certified "organic" with the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia.
Building a "cellar door" commenced in 2005, starting with the restoration of a 100-year-old workers' hut, then adding a tasting room built with cypress milled on the farm. It features the original fireplace and shingle roof, and displays old wares and photographs from early farming days. It was opened to the public in 2006 with offerings of wine and local cheeses.

An open Web-based system for the analysis and sharing of animal tracking data

Improvements in telemetry technology are allowing us to monitor animal movements with increasing accuracy, precision and frequency. The increased complexity of the data collections, however, demands additional software and programming skills to process, store and disseminate the datasets. Recent focus on data availability has also heightened the need for sustainable data management solutions to ensure data integrity and provide longer term access. In the last ten years, a number of online facilities have been developed for the archiving, processing and sharing of telemetry data. These facilities offer secure storage, multi-user support and analysis tools and are a step along the way to improving data access, long-term data preservation and science communication. While these software platforms promote data sharing, access to the majority of the data and to the software behind these systems remains restricted. In this paper, we present a comprehensive, highly accessible and fully transparent software facility for animal movement data.
The online system we developed (http://oztrack.org) offers a set of robust, up-to-date and accessible tools for managing, processing, visualising and analysing animal location data and linking these outputs with environmental datasets. As OzTrack uses exclusively free and open-source software, and the source code is available online, the system promotes open access not only to data but also to the tools and software underpinning the system.
We outline the capabilities and limitations of the infrastructure design and discuss the uptake of this platform by the Australasian biotelemetry community. We discuss whether an open approach to analysis tools and software encourages a more open approach to sharing data, information and knowledge. Finally, we discuss why a free and open approach enhances longer term sustainability and enables data storage facilities to evolve in parallel with the telemetry devices themselves.

Animal biotelemetry is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field of ecology. The number of publications featuring the use of telemetric devices to provide fundamental insights into a species' ecology has increased steadily over the past 30 years [1,2]. Technological advancement during this time has improved positional accuracy and is allowing the collection of more frequent location fixes over longer time periods [3,4]. Furthermore, tag size and weight have substantially reduced [5], as has unit cost [6], broadening the spectrum of species and life stages that can be studied. These developments in tracking technology and data acquisition have reduced the effort required to gather high-quality animal location data, providing researchers with an opportunity to build a coherent picture of how animals behave within their natural environment.
The relative ease and low cost by which temporally dense sets of animal locations can now be collected is increasing the volume of data collected and thus making effective management of the data challenging. Telemetry devices now routinely generate datasets that are larger than off-the-shelf software tools or spreadsheet applications can handle [7,8]. While dedicated, proprietary software platforms for processing these tracking data are available directly from the tag manufacturers, many large-scale and long-term studies utilise tags sourced from multiple manufacturers (e.g. [9,10]). In this scenario, a number of independent applications may be required; these include software tools designed for spatial data management and visualisation, as well as tools to filter and analyse spatiotemporal datasets. Typically, this requires data replication and export/import procedures across multiple software applications, which can be time-consuming and prone to error and duplication [11].
To ensure data persistence and to facilitate comparative studies across species and localities, the secure, consistent and efficient management of data is essential. If raw data are stored locally in personal databases, they are at risk of being lost or discarded due to disk failure or the data owner changing offices or careers. As data are collected as a result of disturbing animals, and many programs are funded by public money, there is a responsibility for the researcher to provide public access to their data once funding and publishing obligations have been met [12,13]. Data publishing is already a high priority in many fields, and many research journals and funding bodies now require that data supporting the results of studies are archived in an appropriate public archive which guarantees their re-use and preservation [14].
While some researchers may be unwilling to transfer their datasets into an online data repository (e.g. for fear of others misusing their data or using it without proper acknowledgement [15]), data management and dissemination through the Internet offers some clear advantages. For example, ongoing telemetric studies may require updating on a regular basis with new data and recent deployments [16], and project collaborators may want to be kept informed on the study's progress and the current whereabouts of tagged animals. The data may be useful for educational or public outreach purposes, which can increase the profile of the research through mass media and articles in national and international news outlets [17]. Increased data transparency may also stimulate collaboration, through the sharing of data between research groups and specialists in the same or related fields. This increased synergy may reduce the need to collect further or new data and can lead to academic as well as financial gains [14,18]. While a number of groups have succeeded in developing their own infrastructure for this purpose (e.g. Whalenet [19], the Narragansett Bay Coyote Study [20], the Information System for the Analysis and Management of Ungulate Data [21]), developing such infrastructure requires considerable time and resources, including collaborative input from information technology (IT) and e-Science experts.
In recognition of these challenges, some wildlife biologists have stressed a need for free online facilities with standardised tools and techniques for telemetry data [11,17,22]. These facilities should not be limited to data management but should also support the analysis, visualisation and sharing of animal tracking data. A number of Web-based animal telemetry data repositories are currently available for this purpose. These include Movebank [23], OBIS-SEAMAP (Ocean Biogeographic Information System-Spatial Ecological Analysis of Megavertebrate Populations) [24], Wildlife Tracking (formerly Seaturtle.org) [17], Wireless Remote Animal Monitoring [25] and the European Roe Deer project [26]. Data within these repositories are stored in a way which permits multi-user support and data sharing, a secure and consistent storage system and analysis and filtering tools of varying complexity. However, the data policies of these facilities are still restrictive [13], with only a small fraction of contributed datasets accessible for downloading or viewing. Furthermore, the infrastructure underlying these repositories remains guarded (or focused on a single species), reducing the potential for the examination and further development of these tools by the wider biotelemetry community.
In this paper, we introduce an online platform based on a spatially enabled database management system (DBMS) for the archiving, analysis and dissemination of multi-species tracking data: OzTrack.org [27,28]. Our main objectives were twofold. The first objective was to develop a free, open source, highly accessible yet comprehensive Web-based application with automated procedures and tools for processing animal location data. Our second objective was to increase data and metadata visibility, thereby encouraging a data sharing culture amongst the animal tracking community. These objectives were achieved through a collaborative partnership between biologists and software engineers based at The University of Queensland, and a steering committee comprising researchers and practitioners of wildlife telemetry and eResearch services. Researchers conducting biotelemetry studies now have access to the tools and contributed telemetry datasets resulting from this collaboration. Here, we provide a description of the software architecture, discuss system uptake and illustrate system functionality using existing OzTrack projects. Finally, we discuss future developments and argue why an open-access approach to data, analysis tools and software is fundamental if we are to keep up with the rapid advancement of the devices themselves.
The database management system
Mapping functionality
Interactive mapping and visualisation services were obtained from the open-source GeoServer software server [32], providing a consistent interface for rendering maps and feature data. Data are visualised via an in-browser OpenLayers map, which includes Google Maps base imagery, and measure and zoom functionality (Figure 1). Climatic, environmental and political spatial layers were obtained from online remote sensing repositories covering both the terrestrial and the marine environments (Additional file 1: Table S1). Layers are rendered as raster images on the server side using GeoServer, which are then visualised as Portable Network Graphics (.PNG) image tiles at the required zoom level. This feature was found to dramatically speed up the processing time, particularly for datasets containing large numbers of location fixes (e.g. those approaching 10,000 detections) [27]. Requests for map tiles, feature attributes and map legends were developed using GeoServer's WMS interface. Once visualised, Structured Query Language (SQL) statements are used to query the animal locations, trajectories and spatial layers. Full details on the implementation of these tools, and the underlying code, can be found on the OzTrack GitHub website [33].
Analysis tools
Current tool functionality and data formats for export
Exportable format
Editing tools
Polygon selection
Manual selection of locations for removal by drawing polygons.
Date filter
Filter locations by date range.
Location class filter
Locations with a lower location accuracy than the minimum specified will be deleted.
Speed filter
Locations that imply the animal has exceeded the specified maximum speed will be deleted.
Kalman filter
This filter applies a state-space model combined with a Kalman filter to the location data to predict the "most probable" track.
Kalman filtered data (SST)
This filter applies a state-space model combined with a Kalman filter to the location and temperature sensor data predict the 'most probable' track. The tag-recorded SST is matched with external SST data collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Analysis tools
Movement metrics
Track distance, mean step length and mean step speed are extracted using the great circle distance algorithm.
Minimum convex polygon
A home range measure which uses the smallest area convex set that contains the location data.
Kernel utilisation distribution
A home range measure which uses the utilisation distribution to estimate the probability that an animal will be found at a specific geographical location.
Kernel Brownian bridge
A home range measure which uses the utilisation distribution to estimate the probability that an animal will be found at a specific geographical location. Unlike the fixed kernel approach, the Kernel Brownian Bridge incorporates serial autocorrelation between fixes into the estimate.
Alpha hull
A generalisation of the convex hull, which uses Delaunay triangulation to objectively crop low use areas from a polygon surface.
Local convex hull
A home range measure which creates utilisation distributions based on the local nearest-neighbour convex hulls. These are formed by constructing convex hulls around each location in the animal's trajectory then jointing these hulls together, iteratively, to form isopleths.
Heat map
This tool generates a grid over the study area and uses a coloured gradient to visually identify areas of high usage by the tagged animal. Can be applied to either points or connectivity lines between points.
All capture and tagging procedures were carried out with approval from The University of Queensland Animal Ethics Committee (Cassowaries:SIB/935/08/EPA ; Crocodiles: SBS/204/11/ARC/AUST ZOO; Koalas: CMLR/091/12/ARC/RIO TINTO) and a Queensland Government permits (Cassowaries: DERM 2011/02/01; Crocodiles: WISP05268508; Koalas: WISP05609708).
Results and discussion
System uptake
At the time of writing (February 2014), the Web site has recorded 3,298 site visits (comprising 4,603 page views) and 92 registered users (including academics, university students, agency scientists and environmental consultants). In total, 1,417 tracks comprising 2,050,812 position fixes from 55 different species have been uploaded, with location data gathered using telemetric devices (i.e. Argos, GPS, VHF, light-based geolocations and underwater acoustic), or re-sightings of individually marked animals.
Open tools and software
By running a spatial DBMS within research cloud infrastructure, we achieved a scalable, persistent and secure data storage capability in which large tracking datasets can be managed in a structured and consistent manner [27]. The system is able to visualise tracks and extract movement metrics from datasets containing hundreds of thousands of animal locations. Dynamic upload capabilities with automated data recognition allow location data to be ingested into the DBMS with minimal pre-processing prior to upload, regardless of origin, time zone or geographical region. Integrating tools for spatial data visualisation (GeoServer) [32] and analysis (R) [34] combine the data archiving and processing components within a single online software platform [27]. As a result, location data can be edited, filtered, analysed and visualised with environmental and geopolitical layers without the need to convert and upload data files into separate software applications. This reduces the need for multiple copies of filtered and unfiltered datasets in numerous data formats (e.g. .TXT, .CSV and .SHP) and thus the potential for data duplication and error propagation.
To maximise software sustainability, the system was developed using exclusively open-source software components that ensure it can be open, interoperable, scalable and freely available. No additional software, add-on packages or plugins are required to run, visualise or export the raw, filtered or analysed data other than the Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome). This approach offers some clear benefits over alternative applications which typically require a user fee or are dependent on downloading and installing commercial or non-commercial software. First of all, it is cost-effective, an important factor for smaller research bodies, consultancies and conservation organisations who have limited resources to dedicate towards software purchasing [40]. Second, the system is accessible from any computer or tablet with a Web browser. This benefits researchers who may work across multiple computers and devices and students or employees who may not have local administrative access on their computer. Third, the system provides a real-time collaborative environment where multiple users can access the same project. This is done via configurable permissions and access rights which are provided by the data owner to other OzTrack users through system's Web portal (Figure 1, [27]). This combination of free and open tools, infrastructure and a collaborative environment has been highlighted as key requirements to lead to more informed conclusions and management decisions [5,41].
Our trials with tertiary students illustrated the system's potential for teaching how biotelemetry can be a useful research tool in wildlife ecology and conservation. The main advantage over conventional methods was that once informed of the underlying theory, users were able to carry out standard procedures for analysing animal telemetry data without any "entrance barriers" [40], such as the requirement for students to be already proficient in a geographical information system (GIS) or have prior experience in using R. Many of the analysis and filtering tools implemented within the OzTrack system were modified from original functions contained within contributed R packages (Additional file 1: Table S1). Rather than R's command-line interface, the system provides an intuitive user interface that links to these functions though the Web portal. Users can access models, alter parameters, run analyses, visualise results and download data for post-processing without the need to develop or enter R code. Online help documentation and links to relevant publications are provided alongside each analysis or filtering tool as are tips for running models and providing reliable results. By integrating these tools within an accessible Web-based system, users can quickly understand how the choice of filter, model and parameter values influences estimates of animal movement and space use. Provided there is a thorough understanding of the statistical assumptions, we argue that by improving access to current tools in animal movement, research will encourage their uptake by the tracking community (particularly those inexperienced in R), thereby improving the quality and appropriateness of the analyses run.
The system's source code (including the underlying R code) has been released publically [33], providing users worldwide with the opportunity to verify, customise and rebuild the OzTrack system locally. This open approach to software is contrary to the "black-box" approach offered by many existing proprietary platforms, but is the same model adopted by Tagbase [42], and the R Programing Language [24] which sits at the core of OzTrack's analysis tools. An open system controlled, developed and managed by the global animal tracking community increases the potential for online facilities like OzTrack to evolve in parallel with advances in biotelemetry research. This scalability is vital for software long-term persistence, allowing for continual implementation and integration of new and powerful analysis tools, not only by a specific project or institution but also by the global biotelemetry community.
Open data
Registered users of OzTrack are able to create and describe new projects, upload datasets into specific projects, add users to projects and specify access controls and embargo periods. Once raw location data have been uploaded into a project, project owners can choose to embargo their data for a period of up to 3 years. While providing instantaneous access to telemetry datasets can be beneficial, this period was chosen because it provides adequate time for data owners to fulfil funding and publishing obligations before public access is granted. Data are protected under a number of Creative Commons Attributions Licence agreements, ranging from fully open access with no copyright [43], to strict limitations on usage [44]. Despite the increase in the number of data repositories holding tracking data, the vast majority of projects have not been made publicly available [13]. We consider a fixed embargo period with secure data licencing, and a digital object identifier (DOI) for released telemetry datasets, to be the optimum approach to inspire ecologists to move away from a research culture where data is proprietary, while installing measures to protect the intellectual property (IP) of the data owners.
To facilitate data discovery and re-use, open access is also promoted by sharing OzTrack metadata records (i.e. descriptions of the tracking dataset) via the ANDS-RDA portal [45]. RDA is an Internet-based data discovery service that describes the content, context, quality, structure and accessibility of distributed datasets, generated by researchers across Australia. OzTrack generates a metadata record for each project that is compliant with the RIF-CS metadata format. Each metadata record includes the project's title, description, study species, contributors, data licence and embargo period (if relevant) and links to the project's datasets on OzTrack. Metadata records are pushed to RDA via an automatic feed. Additional data regarding biological details (e.g. animal sex, age and body length), hardware specifications (e.g. telemetry device and location schedule) and deployment information (e.g. capture and release location, date and time of deployment and field personnel) may be uploaded in parallel with each location dataset. As telemetry devices have different sources and magnitudes of error [46], and animal behaviours can vary according to life history or habitat characteristics [9], providing complete and accurate metadata is critical to ensure that researchers not involved in the data collection process can properly account for accuracy and precision, detection probability and the species' ecology. In many cases, the data collected is not only valuable for the initial study objectives but also valuable for broader, longitudinal comparisons across studies, species, geographical range and years [47]. International projects such as the Starkey Project [48], OBIS-SEAMAP [24] and the European Roe Deer (EURODEER) project [26] illustrate the power of taking a collaborative and synthetic approach across species and localities. Furthermore, increased availability of raw data, and the error estimates for each location, also allow for better parameterizing and scrutinizing of Bayesian and mechanistic models (e.g. [49,50]). In these cases, increased sample size enables studies utilising these databases to generate predictive models that are more accurate, more reliable and enable stronger conclusions to be made. However, in order to ensure long-term accessibility and re-use of telemetry data, there is a need for a consensus with regard to best practise and data format standards between researchers, statisticians, tag manufacturers and database developers [15]. Only by creating global standards in data formats and metadata, will it be possible to guarantee compatibility and interoperability between telemetry databases, supporting truly synthetic and trans-disciplinary research.
Future directions
Testing throughout OzTrack's development highlighted several key areas of improvement [27]. A frequent suggestion from users was the implementation of additional R-based analysis and filtering tools, which have proved informative in the interpretation of animal movement data. While many of these tools were outside the initial scope of our project, the modular system design supports rapid development, implementation and integration within our system architecture [51]. An additional step to further facilitate the development of new tools may be to offer the R source code to users as an optional output, together with the raw and edited data, and model results (e.g. [8]). This increased transparency would also facilitate the development and implementation of new analysis tools by the wider biotelemetry community.
Another key feature requiring further work is the ability to enrich each location record with the relevant environmental and socio-economic information describing an animal's habitat. The OzTrack system currently holds 21 spatial layers describing climatological, environmental and political information (Additional file 1: Table S1) that with the current version of OzTrack can only be associated with locations on map overlays. Many of these layers are Australian-specific (due to our funding criteria), which allowed us to be more specific on our supplied environmental, climatic and political spatial layers. None of these layers have a temporal component, representing mean-composites of environmental datasets over a particular time period with fixed political boundaries. Furthermore, there is currently no feature to allow users to upload vector- or raster-based spatial objects directly into the system. As animal location data is temporal in nature and animals respond to environmental cues which vary dynamically through time [9], it would be worthwhile incorporating spatial datasets at varying temporal resolutions (e.g. using the MODIS atmosphere, land, cryosphere or ocean data products [52]). OzTrack's Kalman filter tool (obtained from the ukfsst R package [53]), Movebank's Environmental-Data Automated Track Annotation (Env-DATA) software [54] and the RNCEP package for R [55] all offer this functionality. The system architecture was structured in a way to allow the animal locations to be linked with spatial datasets at varying temporal resolutions. This new functionality would allow the interactions between animals and their environment to be investigated at a much higher resolution, producing much more meaningful relationships.
New developments in tracking hardware, pressures for open access to data and the need for multidisciplinary collaborations are accelerating us towards a new age of ecological research [11]. The system infrastructure that we developed provides an integrated, online, free and open-source system that facilitates the uploading, editing, analysis, archiving and sharing of animal tracking datasets. The observed uptake by the Australasian biotelemetry community suggests that the system is proving a valuable resource for researchers despite the stipulation that the data must become publicly available once the embargo period has expired. While the OzTrack system is still in its infancy, our intent is that its framework will promote collaboration, encourage future tool development and help ensure the long-term legacy of animal location datasets. Platform sustainability into the future is however unsubstantiated, due to the short-term nature of funding cycles. Thus, the involvement of the community in terms of funding and system development, as well as integration of the platform into larger eScience infrastructures, may be required to ensure its longevity.

text: I was at a client's premises today and had the misfortune of seeing a crusty shunter (ex 22 year Cloudpuncher RSI) berate the girlie Transport Operative for using incorrect VP over the radio. After he stormed out I asked her what she'd done to upset him. She explained that he is a c0ck and she deliberately uses a girlie alternative phonetic alphabet to wind him up! H = Handbag S = Shoes L = Lipstick etc, etc. 'Good skills young lady said I. Oh, and ask him about the colour of his landyard next time he goes off on one.' So it got me thinking of an ARRSE version.............. A = ? Over to you. P-T

MARAMA/NESCAUM/LADCO Project: MARAMA/NESCAUM/LADCO Project: Source Apportionment of Air Quality Monitoring Data: Paired Aerosol / Trajectory Database Analysis Tool Development R. Husar, K. Hoijarvi, J. Colson, S. Falke, CAPITA Project Officer, Serpil Kayin, MARAMA Project Period: September 2002 – July 2003 Progress Report: Dec 2002
Project Background The source-receptor relationship of particulate matter can be estimated by a number of empirical observation-based techniques. Some techniques are based chemical fingerprinting others on meteorological transport techniques. A particularly attractive source-attribution technique, Paired Aerosol / Trajectory Analysis developed by Poirot and Wishinski. It combines the chemical and transport techniques by: –Establishing the major aerosol types at a specific receptor location and time (PMF and UNMIX) –Estimating the geographic transport regions for each aerosol type (Residence Time Analysis)
Biomass Smoke Avg. Mass:2.4 ug/m3 (32%) Species:OC, EC, S, K Summer Maximum East Coast Residual Oil Avg. Mass:0.38 ug/m3 (5%) Species: OC, EC, S, Si, Ni, V Winter Maximum Secondary Coal Avg. Mass:3.2 ug/m3 (42%) Species: S, OC, EC, Na Summer Maximum Illustration of Paired Chemical and Trajectory Analysis, Lye Brook, VT Wishinski and Poirot (2002) Based on Positive Matrix Factorization, PMF results from B. Coutant and ATAD trajectories from K. Gebhart High Secondary Coal contribution (yellow- red) originates from Upper Ohio River region Low Secondary Coal values (green-blue) occur during transport from Quebec High Biomass Smoke is transported from the N-NW direction Low Biomass Smoke occurs during transport from Quebec and the Ohio RV Region High Residual Oil aerosol type is transported from the East Coast Megalopolis Low Residual Oil occurs during transport from Quebec Project Goal: Develop an interactive data query and analysis tool for the above paired chemical/trajectory analysis
Data Input: PMF/UNMIX Source Profiles and Residence Time Residence Time (calculated as "hours per 80 x 80 km grid cell") at each 16 site and receptor day, were calculated by P. Wishinski, VT DEC The ResTime calculations are based on daily ATAD trajectories provided K. Gebhart, CIRA. Prepared by Battelle and Sonoma Tech. Inc. The results of the Battelle/Sonoma PMF and UNMIX modeling are source profile time series for each location Typical Source Profiles Source attribution results (PMF and UNMIX) for 16 receptor sites between Illinois and New England using IMPROVE and CastNet data have been completed by a previous project.previous project
Project Deliverables 1.Implement a relational database that incorporates both the PMF/UNMIX results and for gridded trajectory data. 2.Develop specific SQL filtering and aggregation queries for aggregated trajectory data based on chemical conditions aggregated chemical data based on geographic conditions 3.Develop a graphic interface for user input (query) and for data output as rendered images or as exportable numeric data. 4.Transfer the resulting database to a designated SQL server and provide instructions for addition of chemical and trajectory data.
Deliverable 1: Relational database PMF and UNMIX data transfer to SQL –The PMF and UNMIX results were provided to us as Excel spreadsheet. –The metadata for the PMF and UNMIX were obtained verbally from R. Poirot. –The spreadsheet data were reformatted and imported in the SQL server two tables (ChemFactTable and LocTable) Residence Time data transfer to SQL –The residence time data were provided by P. Wishinski on CDROM including full metadata documentation –The data were imported into two SQL tables (ResTimeFactTable and LocTable) Deliverable Status: Complete
Deliverable 2,3: SQL Filtering/Aggregation/Rendering Tool Query/Retrieval/Rendering of chemical data from SQL server Status: Developed, User interface needs testing and feedback Query/Retrieval/Rendering of residence time data from SQL server Status: Developed, User interface needs testing and feedback Chemical DataResidence Time Data
Deliverable 2,3: SQL Filtering/Aggregation/Rendering Tool Seasonal Residence Time, e.g. Sum ResTime for Loc=LYBR, Date between June-Sept Lye Brook, DJF Gr Smoky Mtn, JJA Lye Brook, JJA Gr Smoky Mtn, DJF
Deliverable 2,3: SQL Filtering/Aggregation/Rendering Tool Testing the ATAD Trajectory and Residence Time Data Consistency Residence time and ATAD trajectory data superimposed for June 1, 2000.
Deliverable 2,3: SQL Filtering/Aggregation/Rendering Tool Paired Chemical 'Source'/ResTime Data, LYE BROOK, PMF Source C6 Sulfate, Titanium ResTime for High C6 (BioSmoke?) Chemical Conditions ResTime for Low C6 (BioSmoke?) Chemical Conditions Query/Retrieval/Rendering of PAIRED data from SQL server Status: - Query partially developed – Needs user input, testing - User Interface partially developed – Needs user input, testing
Project Status/Summary 1.Relational Database of PMF/UNMIX and trajectory data: Complete 2.Develop specific SQL filtering and aggregation queries Chemical filtering/aggregation: Developed, needs testing and feedback Trajectory filtering/aggregation: Developed, needs testing and feedback Paired Chemical/Trajectory data: Partially developed, needs user input, testing, feedback 3.Graphic interface for user input (query) and for data output: Partially developed, needs user input, testing, feedback 4.Transfer the resulting database to a designated SQL server: Not done Project Milestones Jan-June 2003 1.Feb 1, 03: Complete initial queries, user interface and displays 2.Apr 1, 03: Finalize design/implementation of queries, user interface and displays 3.Apr-Jun 03: 'Public' testing and user feedback 4.July 03: Tool delivery

Let Freedom Ring The Fight English Literature Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal (2), Dr. Martin Luther King voices. He was an ambitious man who had a vision, one in which he envisioned the possibility for change in the lives of the African Americans. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 15, 1929, Dr. King strived to be an accomplished public speaker just like his father was. Being as intelligent as he was, he quickly moved from high school to college and later received his PhD at the age of 26. While he was in school, Dr. King studied the work of Mahatma Gandhi and was influenced by his nonviolent approach to freedom. Using this method to fight for equal rights in America, the Civil Rights Movement was born. During his lifetime, Dr. King worked hard to organize bus boycotts and ensure the passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act in support to rise against discrimination. These actions eventually lead to the March on Washington on August 28, 1963, where Dr. King leads the Americans to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Here, King delivers his "I Have a Dream" speech, in which he aims towards the entire nation. In order to give his audience a better understanding of the hate that is spreading, he uses emphasis within his speech by creating antitheses, using metaphors, and repetitive language.
Throughout his speech, Dr. King applies the rhetorical device, antithesis, in order to stir upon his audience's emotion. An example of this can be observed in the third paragraph of his speech, in which he states, "One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity" (1). In this statement, King contrasts "lonely island" with "vast ocean" and "poverty" with "prosperity" in order to exemplify the black's current place in society. Through the use of these contrasting ideas, he is able to illustrate a vivid image of the difficult times the blacks were faced with, thus allowing his audience to grasp a strong feeling of sentiment towards the Negros. Towards the beginning of his speech, in the fifth paragraph, another use of an antithesis can be found. He recites, "Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial justice to the solid rock of brotherhood" (1). In other words, Dr. King declares that this nation needs to stop trying to justify a means to the inequality and finally establish a new foundation where everyone will be to stand firm as equals. He signals that now is the right time to rise above discrimination against African Americans and become a country where citizens are united and treated equally. By emphasizing the crucial need for change and showing strong determination in seeking equality for all, he instills onto his audience feels of hope and excitement. The use of antithesis in his speech contributes in allowing Dr. King to deliver a truly impacting and memorable speech. Not only does he use antitheses to evoke emotion, he also repeats key words and phrases to connect with his audience.
Dr. King uses another stylistic technique called metaphor to establish pathos. In the sixth paragraph of his speech, he states, "The sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality" (1). This statement is said after the example which discusses the topic of injustice, and it begins the rest of the essay on how black people will not stop until they get what is rightfully theirs, equal rights. Through the words "the sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent," King depicts an image of the blacks in frustration, suffering, and restlessness as they long for relief. He then uses the words "an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality" to provide an illustration of the slaves being released from the leash of the oppression set by the whites and their laws. This also stirs upon the emotions of happiness in the blacks. Another example of a metaphor being used is in the statement, "This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice" (1).When Dr. King mentions "a great beacon of light of hope," he makes an allusion to the Emancipation Proclamation saying that it was a hope for the beginning of a substantial change in the lives of Negro slaves. As he goes on to say "seared in the flames of withering injustice," King aims to exemplify the injustice brought onto the slaves. King's use of metaphor helps is allowing his audience to have a vivid concept in what he is trying to address. Along with the use of comparisons, Dr. King also incorporates repetitive language to stir emotions of his audience.
Dr. King connects with his audience emotionally through use of repetition. In the beginning of his speech, he stresses with passion:
"But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land" (1).
He repeats "one hundred years later" four times to emphasize that even after one hundred years from Lincoln's signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, little change has been made in the lives of African-Americans. Furthermore, he continues to stress the negativity and brutality of the white people. By saying "segregation" and "discrimination" and "exile," Dr. King shows repetitiveness in his attempt to stir emotions from his audience. He uses these words to induce anger and frustration within African-Americans by explaining the harsh standards that the white people have left them to live under. He also evokes anger and frustration in the white people by making them realize their immoral behavior and making them feel guilty for their wrongdoings.
In Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, King seeks for justice and stops at nothing to fulfill the dreams of all black men to be free of racial injustice and live in a world of freedom and equality. He expresses his position on the matter on an emotional level and reaches to his fellow African Americans' emotions to persuade them to fight for the justice they seek. By creating tension, implying comparison, and repeating key words and phrases, Dr. King instills feelings of anger, frustration, hope, and happiness in the blacks and, at the same time, fills whites with guilt, hatred, and fury. In doing so, King influences his audience to take action and fight for their chance at freedom and equality. Without King's determination to eliminate the injustice of segregation, we would not be where we are today, a place of unity.

The Chase is a 'huh? flick. 'Huh? flicks are a trend. They go beyond miscalculation of the public mood or mere mediocrity or notions of so-bad-it's-good into a grey dimension of their own. 'Huh? celluloid has no purpose in being, has nothing to say, shouldn't exist.
Think about it. What possible reason could there be for, say, Guilty as Sin, with Don Johnson carrying on like some mad queen and Rebecca De Mornay standing around looking understandably aghast? Or for (melo)dramas like Scorchers, the sexually warped of the Deep South revisited some 30 years after their shag-by date. Or listless horror slop like The Premonition, neither bad enough to be trashy fun nor bizarre enough to suggest a twisted imagination at work. Or for 'comedies like Police Academy: Mission to Moscow, about as funny as necrotising fasciitis, though not nearly as attractive.
Yet all of these have been at a cinema near you. It's a true post-modern phenomenon - something that's there simply because it's there - but it provokes an old-fashioned response: why oh why oh why. . .?

I get asked all of the time: Amy, where do I start? And the answer is to start with building your business in Phase One, and progress to Phase Two. This is how to build a business that will endure in the long term, and really fulfill the lifestyle you are looking for. I know this because I can look back and see what worked for my own business, and what I would have changed if I had to do it all again. With Phase One, you focus on how to make money in the here and now. In this phase, you are asking these kinds of questions: What skills and knowledge do you have right now to ensure you can make money quickly? Who's your avatar? Do you have a solid plan in place to grow your list? What's your strategy for your blog or posting to social media? In this phase you are sharpening your skills and getting into the trenches with your ideal customer avatar so that you can understand their needs, wants and genuine pain points. This intel is incredibly valuable as you begin to hone in on your own messaging for your business. I'll walk you through several business models that are perfect for this level. Then with Phase Two, we move into creating a business and life you love. For this, you will ask yourself: What's my ultimate business model? There needs to be an alignment between what you want to do and what your avatar wants from you: That's the sweet spot. In many situations, including my own, a business model that offers A LOT of flexibility, consistent revenue and an abundance of opportunity to impact your audience is one that is built on you creating online training programs. Listen in to see how to put all of this into action. I also want to remind you to download my special freebie for today's episode, called, "Where Should My Support Dollars Go?" One aspect that ANY level should be thinking about is: How do I make the most of my time by hiring support?

What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.
