The Major
The "preveterinary medicine curriculum" is just a list of courses that are required for admission to veterinary school. It is NOT an academic major, a minor, or an emphasis area.
Even if you plan to apply to vet school after taking only the courses required for admission (minimum of 79 hours for the program at Mississippi State University), you need to declare an academic major at Southern Miss.
Many students choose a major in one of the sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) but other majors are acceptable including those in the humanities, social sciences, or business. Students should select the major in which they feel the most comfortable and in which they would like to work if they are not accepted into vet school.
Students wishing to study veterinary medicine typically take three or more years to complete a preprofessional curriculum, for example at Southern Miss.
Some vet schools prefer that students have a baccalaureate degree; other schools require the baccalaureate degree prior to matriculation.
Progress toward a Baccalaureate Degree
Course work toward a baccalaureate degree at Southern Miss must be planned so the student meets all the requirements for the preprofessional curriculum, a major, a minor if appropriate, the University General Education Curriculum, and the College core. At Southern Miss, a minimum of 124 hours is needed for most baccalaureate degrees, with 45 of these hours from courses at the 300-level or above.
Visit the following web pages for more information about schools of veterinary medicine:
American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMA): http://www.aavmc.org/
American Veterinary Medicine Association (AVMA): http://www.avma.org/
Link to accredited colleges and programs: http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/colleges_accredited/colleges_accredited.asp
Requirements for Applicants
Admission to a veterinary medicine program is very competitive. The overall GPA of accepted applicants is often 3.5 or higher.
Students must gain experience working in a veterinary clinic before applying to a vet school and they must consult the specific admission requirements and application deadlines for the school(s) to which they plan to apply.
The following list of Required Courses meets only the minimal requirements for admission for students seeking admission to the four-year professional program at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University.
Link to MSU-CVM: http://www.cvm.msstate.edu/
Students may apply for admission to the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine in their third year of preprofessional work (must have 79 semester hours of required courses in order to apply).
However, students are strongly advised to work toward completing the baccalaureate degree in a science field.
- writing; English Composition is suggested (6 hours)
- speech or technical writing (3 hours)
- math; college algebra is minimum level (6 hours)
- biological science courses with laboratories for science majors (8 hours)
- microbiology with laboratory for majors (4 hours)
- advanced science electives (12 hours), which may include junior, senior, graduate level courses in biochemistry, nutrition, comparative zoology, cellular physiology, embryology, histology, microbiology, quantitative analysis, calculus, statistics, immunology, zoology, comparative anatomy, animal physiology, genetics, parasitology, molecular biology, physical chemistry, differential equations, physics
- 25 hours of physical science courses [inorganic chemistry{general chemistry} & lab (8 hours), organic chemistry & lab (8 hours), biochemistry (3 hours), physics & lab (6 hours, may be trig based)]
- humanities, social/behavioral sciences, fine arts (15 hours); for students pursuing a baccalaureate degree at Southern Miss, must take humanities (6 hours), social/behavioral sciences (6 hours), fine arts (3 hours)
Suggested Course Sequence & Strategies for Success
The suggested course sequence below is merely a guideline courses required for the MSU program in a timely manner. Courses to fulfill the major must be worked into the student's schedule.
Students must consult the USM Undergraduate Bulletin, the USM Class Schedule Guide for each semester, and their academic advisor. During the last semester of the Sophomore year, students should develop a more detailed plan for the Junior and Senior years because many upper level courses in all majors are offered in specific semesters (Fall or Spring only) and/or on a rotating two-year cycle.

a, The order that students take the introductory Biological Sciences (BSC) courses does not matter; BSC 110/L covers molecular and cellular topics whereas BSC 111/L covers ecology and organisms.
b, . Students enrolling in CHE 106&L must have passed high school chemistry or passed CHE 100 at USM. CHE 100 is required when the chemistry background is not adequate. Students may enter CHE 100 directly, if they choose. Students enrolled in CHE 106/L will take a test about two weeks into the class to determine if they should remain in CHE 106/L. If they do not meet the minimum score, these students are strongly recommended to move to a CHE 100 class, which is offered at the same time as CHE 106.
c, Placement in mathematics (MAT) courses depends on the student's ACT subscore.
Calculus is required for most majors in the College of Science and Technology (CoST), but is not required for med school or for majors outside of CoST.
- ACT mathematics subtest score 19 or below: must take MAT 99 (Intermediate Algebra)
- ACT mathematics subtest score 20 or above: MAT 101 (College Algebra)
- ACT mathematics subtest score 24 or above (or grade of C or better in College Algebra): MAT 103 (Trigonometry). NOTE: Trigonometry is a prerequisite for Physics I and prevet students are advised to take MAT 103.
- ACT mathematics subtest score 24 or above (or grade of C or better in Trigonometry): MAT 114 (Calculus for the Arts and Sciences)
- ACT mathematics subtest score 26 or above: MAT 167 (Calculus I)
Students directly entering Calculus (MAT 114 or MAT 167) can use this course to satisfy the UMMC math requirement, but must take an additional recommended upper level elective course (BCPM).
d, Placement in English Composition courses depends on the student's ACT English subscore.
- ACT English subtest score 16 or below: ENG 99E (Expanded Composition Studio) and ENG 100E (Composition I expanded)
- ACT English subtest score 17-19: ENG 100E (Composition I expanded)
- ACT English subtest score 20 or above: ENG 101 (Composition 1)
e, Students must take 15 hours of any combination of Humanities, Social/Behavioral Sciences, and Fine Arts courses. However, to fulfill the requirements for a baccalaureate degree from Southern Miss (or from MSU), students should select:
- one Fine Arts course (ART 130, DAN 130, MUS 365, THE 100)
- two Humanities courses; take ENG 203 and select two courses from (HIS 101, HIS 102, PHI 151, REL 131), at least one must be a history course
- two Social and Behavioral Sciences courses; select one course from (ANT 101, SOC 101) and one course from (ECO 101, PS 101, PSY 110)
Strategy for Success
- Students should focus on doing well in their academic studies, particularly the required science and math courses.
- Students should become involved with extracurricular activities, including meaningful community service learning, volunteer activities, and leadership positions that will demonstrate effective interactions with diverse people and effective time management skills.
- Students should start getting some hands-on exposure to veterinary medicine.

- Completion of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) within the past three to five years (requirements vary with the school). The "old" GRE was administered until July 31, 2011 and the "revised" GRE went into effect on August 1, 2011. Link: www.gre.org
Average GRE scores, and required GRE scores, vary with each vet school. GRE scores of students admitted to MSU-CVM are typically:
– Revised GRE: ~151 Verbal, 150 Quantitative sections and 4.5 Analytical Writing
Students should study on their own to prepare for the GRE or they may take one or more of the USM GRE review classes:
MTC 480 (Conquering the GRE Computer Adaptive Test)
MTC 481 (GRE Preparation: Quantitative)
MTC 482 (GRE Preparation: Verbal)
Check the Class Schedule Guide to determine when these courses are offered.
Students are strongly encouraged to take an online practice GRE before taking the GRE that they will use on their application. There are a number of websites that have practice questions or practice tests; use Google to search for "practice GRE questions".
- Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale, both in the overall GPA and in the required sciences and mathematics courses; at no time may these GPA calculations fall below the minimum level. NOTE: successful applicants typically have GPAs of 3.5 or higher.
- No grade lower than "C" is acceptable in any required course.

This year's series of The Apprentice has really started to get down to business, with Lord Sugar weeding out not just one but two candidates last week. But just like investments, the chances of 'picking a winner' can be improved when you do your homework. And Investoo has done just that on a number of the most popular remaining Apprentice candidates:
Susan Ma- Following the completion of a degree in BA Philosophy and Economics, Susan Ma worked at Citigroup as a sales and trading intern. During University she also ran Tropic Skin Care LTD (and apparently continues to do so.) The premise of her business is to "send your Skin to Paradise with Tropic's 100% purely plant derived Skin Care range."
Helen Milligan – Following a degree from De Montfort in Law (2:1), Helen worked as a Business Development Support Manager at BB's Coffe and Muffins. Most recently she acts as an executive assistant to the CEO following a spell as a regional manager for Gregg's in the Midlands.
Edna Agbarha – An experienced Chartered Occupational Psychologist with 14 years experience (across a variety of sectors, industries and countries). Edna has had a great deal of experience within recruitment including at psychometric test provider SHL. For the past four years she has been an independent consultant at Agbarha consulting (which one would assume is her business.
Melody Hossaini – Following a 2:1 degree in Law from Oxford Brookes University, Melody has launched Inspire International. This is a 'global social enterprise' which aims to improve the lives of children and young people generally across the globe. The key services offered by the business typically include public speaking and skills and development training.
Tom Pellerau – Tom achieved a 1st class degree as well as a masters in Mechanical Engineering and Innovation. His ambition has always been to be an inventor and this is reflected by his continued approach to product development. Some of his inventions to date have included; The Stylfile (a curved nail file), an Ethical Goods brand that connects brands with relevant charities, Mode Diagnostics (Bowel cancer screening tool), Babisil (first collapsible silicon baby bottle) and the Amadeous acoustic screen for musicians.
Glenn Ward – The mastermind behind 'Catsize', graduated with a first class degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Huddersfield. Since his degree, he has been employed for five years at Cadac Holding LTD, who produce live sound mixing consoles. Ward claims specialist knowledge across the likes of VHDL, Java and Android 2.1.
Who is the right candidate to go into business with Lord Sugar?
Who is the right candidate to go into business with Lord Sugar and land the £250k investment? Out of all the above, it is difficult to pick a worthy winner (there are other candidates too). The reason being is that the majority have not shown anything on a grand business scale, just small glimpses. Some such as Melody and Susan have tried their own small ventures, while others such as Helen and Glenn have formed healthy careers but nothing exceptional.
Based on the evidence presented, Tom Pellerau looks to be a potential winner in comparison to the competition. His work ethic to date and eagerness to invent and make new things a success is something that the other candidates appear to lack, at least on paper. However, Tom is facing a big obstacle, and that is that he simply has to make his voice heard on the show. We've already seen that he picks up on key points, but fails to present them effectively to the group which could be his big downfall. If he boosts up his assertiveness and confidence levels, he really could be the one to watch. One must also remember that this is a TV show! We must also remember that the purpose of this show is for Lord Sugar to find someone to go into business with directly, not just provide them with a well paid job!

Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
The Top Ten
America's Got Talent. She came in and absolutely tore the place down while singing Jennifer Holiday's, And I Am Telling U.She also did this when she was 11 years old which is just incredible.
X-Factor Britain. Sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow and certain notes still gives me chills while listening to it today.
The Voice. All contestants on this show are usually good singers since they're invited, but his rendition of Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper was absolutely amazing. Once he started singing, I knew this guy was going to win.
American Idol. Talk about shocking. This guy came out with the glasses and a dorky look but absolutely blew me away with his voice while singing Always and Forever.
X-Factor. He did a great rock rendition of a great song, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. His voice is awesome. Its a shame he didn't make it that far.

« Majority of Americans, Evangelicals Disapprove of Obama & Congressional Leaders | Main | Panel Cites Egypt for Religious Freedom Violations »
April 21, 2011
Fast over Budget Goes Without Gushee
Activists and members of Congress are nearing the end of a fast over cuts to federal programs aimed at assisting the poor in the U.S. and globally. HungerFast.org, a collection of relief and hunger organizations that opposed cuts, says more than 30,000 people have joined the fast, including members of Congress and celebrities.
There is one notable—and vocal—absentee: David Gushee of the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good. Gushee said that the fast was well-intentioned but did not address the nation's fiscal issues in the right way.
"While I admire the compassion for the poor that motivates these actions, I think this is a time for deliberative decision-making about our nation's long-term fiscal responsibility and moral sanity rather than a moment for dramatic gestures," he said.
Gushee said the U.S. needs to address its structural fiscal problems. He called for a debate over the size and role of the military, the cost of health care, means-tests for Social Security, reductions in government spending and tax breaks, and tax increases for everyone but the poor.
"If we followed this kind of rational path toward fiscal solvency, tackling the big issues in a grown-up way, then we wouldn't have to resort to showy, irrational budget-hacking or dramatic gestures of protest in response," Gushee said.
Sojourners president Jim Wallis, a participant and advocate for the fast, said that deficits are moral issues, including how they are reduced.
"Of course, many Americans, including in the faith community, believe that rising deficits are immoral and a threat to our future," said Wallis. "But how you reduce a deficit is also a moral issue, and to do so by further impoverishing the poor in order to add more wealth to the wealthy is not an acceptable political or moral strategy."
The fast has been spearheaded by former Congressman and Ambassador Tony Hall. He said budgets are moral documents and that the recent budget compromise shows that the poor are not a national priority.
"I believe fasting, when done with the right heart and the right motive, gets God's attention," Hall said. "Hopefully this fast also gets the attention of politicians who would balance the budget on the backs of the poor. It's time to call on God."
Criticism of the budget as immoral has also come from the right. Social conservatives backed efforts to ban any federal funding of Planned Parenthood, to curtail the Environmental Protection Agency, and to repeal the health care law passed last year.
"Sadly, the Senate rejection of the defunding of Planned Parenthood and of 'Obamacare' means that these two moral blights on the American governmental landscape survived for a little longer," said Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
Family Research Council president Tony Perkins also agreed that budgets are moral documents.
"Budgets that shift the burden of responsibility to future generations, while seeking to use taxpayer funds to eliminate those same future generations through abortion, are not only immoral choices, but irresponsible as well," Perkins said.
The best way to help the poor is to provide more job opportunities for them. Additionally, a total restructuring of social welfare programs needs to be done such that maintenance of the traditional family unit is undergirded, not compromised as has been done for over 40 years.
If you could only do one thing--reduce single parenthood--you would eliminate much of the poverty we see in the US. Yet, governmental programs have had the opposite effect.
Christian/societal compassion is measured best NOT by how many people are on government assistance but by how many no longer need it.
To those concernd about so-called cuts in federal programs for the poor, I have a question for them. Where in the Constitution is the justification for these programs in the first place?
I am sick and tired of my fellow Evangelicals belly aching about cuts to these programs. It is the church and individuals who are responsible for helping the poor. Stop running to the government for these hand outs.
(Representative of the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference on the Social Action Commission, NAE, 1983-2003
Mr. Williams, the preamble to the U.S. Constitution says that one of the purposes of the federal government is to "promote the general welfare." Section 8 says that Congress shall have power to "provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States." Glad I could help.
"Mr. Williams, the preamble to the U.S. Constitution says that one of the purposes of the federal government is to "promote the general welfare." Section 8 says that Congress shall have power to "provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States." Glad I could help."
One could surmise that spending what doesn't exist is not in the "general welfare" of the United States. Praying for ourselves, our leaders and voting our beliefs while focusing on the "people" running and not the "parties" is.
Mat. 6:16-18 comes to mind always when leaders publicly proclaim to the four winds their's "fastings".
Mr. Williams, I agree that is should be the church's responsibility to care for the poor. Are we? Are you? As for "bellyaching", it is the responsibility of God's people to look out for the welfare of the needy and less fortunate. That's not in the Constitution, it's in the Bible.
Charles Fergusson's movie "Inside Job" which won the Oscar for best documentary in 2011,is a good starting point for looking behind the veiled, awkward causes of the 2008 Meltdown.
My understanding of a fast, at least in this context, is to humble yourself before God, confess that He alone has the answers, and that you are helpless to change the situation. It appears this fast is designed to provoke God to take their side in this political debate in which they believe themselves to be on the right side already.

Three CSC cowboys earn second place finishes
CHADRON Three Chadron State College cowboys finished second in their events during the CSC rodeo at the Dawes County Fairgrounds over the weekend.
Chadron State cowgirls also did well. They placed among the top six in the final event standings five times.
The rodeo drew 489 entries from the Central Rocky Mountain Region that includes colleges and universities in Wyoming and Colorado along with CSC.
Chadron State's runner-up honors were earned by Colten Blanchard of Sulphur, La., in bareback riding, Jace Blackwell of Rapid City in saddle bronc riding and Russell Hipke of Stuart in steer wrestling.
Blanchard scored 69 and 74 points on the two barebacks he drew. The latter score allowed him to place second in the championship go-round on Sunday.
Blackwell actually was the only saddle bronc rider to make it to the eight-second whistle in the finals on Sunday, but it was ruled that he had not spurred his bronc over the point of the shoulder on the first jump out of the chute, so he took a no score.
The remaining nine finalists were bucked off their broncs before the whistle sounded.
Hipke flipped his steers in 5.0 and 4.6 seconds to complete his two runs in 9.6 seconds. His time in the finals was second in that go-round.
Chadron State cowgirls earned three placings in breakaway roping. Kelsey Scott of Douglas, Wyo., was third, Amy Tierney of Oral, S.D., was fourth and Raegen Scott, also of Douglas and Kelsey's cousin, was fifth.
Kelsey Scott's times were 3.1 and 3.5 seconds, Tierney's were 3.0 and 3.8 and Raegen Scott's were 3.7 and 4.7.
Raegen also was third in goat tying with a pair of eight-second runs.

dear forum people,
having watched steven's film on bipolarity, i kept wondering for several days whether there should be a change of perspective concerning the "illness" or not. i understand it makes people suffer, yet it makes them live life in "high" periods in very intense ways as well and most of the interviewed persons of the film wouldn't want to change their personality if they could.
i know that society demands of its members to be "mellow" and functioning day-in day-out with no longer break possible. we cannot handle euphoria and extremes or drop out periods. our work demands constant performances. but is that really the only way to have a healthy life? don't get me wrong, i don't want to relativise the severity of the condition - after all it is leathal to some who suffer deeply. but - as the interviewees who manage to deal with their condition wouldn't want to change their moods into "mellow" for good, don't you think it is time for a change of perspective?
is "mentally ill" something to be constructed to make people function in mainstream society's ways and (post-)industrialisms demands?
why not cherishing the "high" times and giving 200% in whatever one does and then allowing oneself to be "low" and drop out for a while to "recover" from the highness?
is constant mellow really the only way to have a happy and "sane" life?
and am i the only one who is shocked by numb-making pills for people who are not born mellow and even-tempered?
what do you think?
should we consider bi-polarity "light" (without the strong suicidal tendencies and severe dangers, i mean, really wouldn't want to relativise that) as an "illness"?
my guts tell me not to. then again, i am "balanced" most of the time of my life so far.
i would be interested in your position on that.
kind regards!

The Kansas City Chiefs are going to be kicking themselves for this one. Despite gaining over 500 yards in total offense, the Chiefs still lost to the Indianapolis Colts, 20-13, on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
The Colts used two field goals by Adam Vinatieri, a Darius Butler 32-yard interception return for a touchdown and a well-timed fourth quarter Reggie Wayne touchdown catch to pull out an improbable victory and a spot in the AFC playoffs.
The Chiefs gained 352 yards on the ground, including 226 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries by running back Jamaal Charles and 101 yards on 15 carries by running back Peyton Hillis. But they couldn't turn their domination on the ground into points, partially due to quarterback Brady Quinn throwing two interceptions. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck finished with only 205 yards on just 17-for-35 passing but his timely touchdown to Wayne was the difference in the game.
The Colts improved to 10-5 on the season and the Chiefs dropped to a league-worst tie with the Jacksonville Jaguars at 2-13.
Winners: Colts' fans as they have the playoff spot they've so desperately yearned for since last season.
Losers: Brady Quinn. He can't even pull out a win when his running game goes absolutely bonkers. Under 50-percent completion rate, two interceptions and no touchdowns? Not going to cut it.
Best/worst stat of the game: The Kansas City Chiefs amassed 352 yards on the ground on 44 carries for an 8.0 yards per carry average. Talk about having your mediocre quarterback's back. Oh, and the Colts gave up all of that.
Fantasy studs/duds: Jamaal Charles. He gained 226 yards on 22 carries with one touchdown which will always make the fantasy gurus happy. Reggie Wayne also put up good numbers with 81 yards receiving and one touchdown.
Odds/Gambling: The Colts entered the game as 6-point favorites and covered the spread.
Next team on the schedule: The Colts finish the season playing host to the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday, Dec. 30. The Chiefs will end their forgettable season at the Denver Broncos.

Congratulations are in order for singer Brandy who got the ultimate surprise over the Christmas Holiday….
B-Rocka is getting married to her boyfriend Ryan Press. The duo has been dating at least a year, and the L.A. Times reports:
The couple went public with their romance last New Year's Eve, and Brandy openly discussed her desire to marry Press in an interview with People in March.
"My daughter Sy'rai loves Ryan, and he loves me for me," said the 33-year-old, full name Brandy Norwood, adding that she'd marry Press "with a bubble-gum ring."
This will be the first time down the aisle for Brandy. Sy'rai, 10, is her daughter with music producer Robert Smith.
Press "just loves me for who I am," she told Us in August. "I don't have to camouflage anything for him or put on a mask. I can completely be myself and he loves me so much and I love him just the way he is too."
Congrats Brandy!

The rush of standing next to hundreds of farmers chanting "Bust up big ag" was worth the 2½-hour drive to Ankeny, Iowa, says Garry Klicker. He hates the idea of a few companies controlling the market, so he joined other like-minded farmers at a rally the night before the first-ever hearing on competition in agriculture.
"If we continue to consolidate agriculture, eventually only one person is going to own all the beef and hogs," says Klicker, a small grain and beef producer from Bloomfield, Iowa. "A few packers are already setting prices for us. There is no free market anymore."
Corn and soybean grower Ken Fawcett feels the same way about the seed industry, where Monsanto Company and DuPont's subsidiary Pioneer Hi-Bred control the market share for biotech seeds. He believes lack of competition has led to a rise in seed prices, which have tripled in four years.
"Farmers need to have choices about what they grow, free from corporate control," says Fawcett, who farms in eastern Iowa.
The brewing pot of anger, fear and confusion about concentration in agriculture has finally boiled over, and the Barack Obama administration is taking the lid off the divisive issue. More than 700 farmers, food processing workers, politicians and executives gathered in March for a hearing that begins the process of recreating antitrust policy in agriculture. The public meeting was the first of five to be held across the U.S.
"Big is not bad, but it can be bad if the power that comes with it is misused," says Eric Holder, Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), who attended the hearing to learn about agriculture. "That is not something this department will stand for."
Is It Monopoly? American Soybean Association vice president and Iowa farmer Ray Gaesser was keyed up before speaking at the hearing on a panel regarding the seed industry. He's watched corn seed prices rise nearly 30% and soybeans rise 20% in 2009. "There is a responsibility for the seed companies to play fair," Gaesser says.
The seed industry is a complex, consolidating structure, says panelist Diana Moss, vice president and senior fellow at the American Antitrust Institute. "If you look upstream at the trait markets, there is a monopolist, and it is Monsanto," Moss says.
While Monsanto has broadly licensed its technology, and that is good, "what is deceptive is that it gives the illusion of choice," Moss says. She argues that Monsanto's licensing agreements prohibit competition and give the company too much control of the seed industry.
The American Antitrust Institute receives funding from DuPont, which is in litigation with Monsanto over licensing agreements with its subsidiary, Pioneer.
Jim Tobin, Monsanto's vice president for industry affairs, defends his company's market dominance in the seed industry, saying its success is due to strong demand for Roundup Ready seeds. "That's why we have such a high market share," he says. "It's only because farmers choose to have Roundup Ready soybeans."

Methacton High School Robotics
Welcome! We are the Methacton High School Robotics club, based in Eagleville, PA. We strive to empower students to explore electronics, programming, and engineering through hands-on exploration. Students can pursue their interests through three avenues:
- Arduino: an extremely extensible microcontroller system with resistors, sensors, motors, etc.
- VEX: an up-and-coming series of robotics competitions.
- Arduino exercises: design your own project, including Arduino/VEX hybrids.
In our third year, we will compete in local VEX competitions and the Penn State Abington Firefighting contest.
Please contact Mr. Sawyer, our club sponsor, at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or comments.
Key Dates
- Wed, September 10
Tentative First Meeting
STEAM Day April 15 at Arcola
We are looking for volunteers to host our robotics exhibits at Arcola on April 15. There's a sign-up sheet. Talk to an officer or Mr. Sawyer for more information.
Feb 8 VEX competition at the Haverford School
Congratulations to Nick Besley, Sai Ganganapalle, Tom Krypa, Bryce Merrill, Arjun Pothukuchi, and everyone who has helped design, build, and test our two VEX robots. These two teams have set all-time Methacton VEX records for most matches won and most points scored. Granted this was our first official VEX competition but still, it was a very good learning experience that we will build on for next year. Sincere thanks to all who have contributed.
If you're looking for a new project, check out the new tutorial on the Processing Line Game on the Projects page. You don't need any experience with the software, and it's great for beginners. -Neil
Fantastic Resource
Hey guys here's a link to a Youtube channel that I really like. This guy has some really great tutorials! -Mayur http://www.youtube.com/user/Afrotechmods?feature=watch
Our First VEX Competition Updated
We went to our very first robotics competition ever this past Saturday, December 7th, a day that will no longer live in infamy. Sai, Bryce, Arjun, Tanvi, Lasya, and Elizabeth along with two robots were there. Our top score, 38 points, was second best of the day - top score was 52. It was actually more like a scrimmage because there were not enough teams to make it an official match but still it was a great day. Thanks to all that helped us get there.
Robotics Competition at Penn State
Penn State main campus is running a robotics competition on March 22, 2014. We want to send two teams. Contact an officer and/or Mr. Sawyer if you are interested.

Disallowing guests and SEo
I own a writing forum and the users have recently become worried about copyright security.
So in the interest of security, I have made viewing the actual contents of threads disallowed for guests, however, you can still see the list of threads when you click into the forum.
Now, as I understand it, search engines will now be be able to see all the threads, but when they try to go in, will be greeted with the same "please log in" page.
How will this affect my SEO? Are there any useful things I can do to avoid penalties? Would I be better off disallowing guests from even viewing what threads and in the forums altogether?
BTW, I am using VB 3.6.8

Hiding your content to the users will definitely hide it from the SE's as well.
Experts-Exchange tries to get around this situation by posting the actual content deep deep down in the page, where users are less likely to look. This will deter a certain percentage of people, but there is no real solution.
e.g. http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/M..._22772429.html
PS> I'm not sure what you meant, but you won't be receiving any penalties. It's just that there will be no content for the SE's to index. If you do some sort of cloaking (i.e. show the content only to SE bots) you would get a heavy penalty/ban.Winners Respond. Losers React.

I assume you would have enough members and that they join via word of mouth. No way would i bother signing up for a forum if i cant see the infomation. But from an SEO standpoint probably not the best road to go down.

How's it going folks? As you can plainly see, I have a name, and I'm the weekend contributor, previewer, recapper, and a moderator and editor over at Windy City Gridiron, the SBN Bears site. We come in after what can only be described as a complete debacle against the Packers, and you guys come in hot off a beating of the Redskins. Nicely done.
Feel free to ask myself and other Bears fans that might stop by any questions you may have about our Bears including, but not limited to...
- Why Jay Cutler is such an easy punching bag for the media
- Why J'Marcus Webb is Still Employed and Other Offensive Line Stories (Hint: Chilo Rachal In At LG)
- Matt Forte's knee injury (don't call it a high ankle sprain, as directed by Lovie)
- The offseason acquisitions
- And any other questions you may have in relation to the Bears season to date, the current game on Sunday, or anything else.
A few recs to stick this to the top of the FanPosts list until Sunday would be much appreciated. With that, let's get this underway.

|It doesn't get any better than this
By Will Maines
A LIGHT BREEZE rocks the boat as you drop a small anchor overboard just outside a lily pad bed where slab bluegills are stacked up and waiting for you.
You pick up your 5-foot ultralight rod with 2-pound test line on the reel, clip on a tiny bobber above a bright orange jig, pin a waxie on the hook and make your first cast.
Within seconds, the bobber is bounced under and the first hefty bluegill of the day is hoisted aboard.
It doesn't get any better than this.

Penn Virginia sees Q3 production 1,909 MBOE-2,024 MBOE
Sees Q3 total production 20,750 BOEPD-22,000 BOEPD. Although well results continue to meet or exceed expectations, the company anticipates delays in the timing of completions associated with 2H14 drilling program, including those wells to be drilled with the recently added seventh and eighth drilling rigs. In addition, as a result of the delays, the company now expects four fewer wells will be turned in line in 2014, with those four wells now expected to be turned in line during 1Q15. Pro forma for the sale of the company's Mississippi assets, which closed at the end of July, the company now expects a 1%-7% increase in production in Q3 over Q2 and a 29%-36% increase in production in Q4 over Q3. The company's Eagle Ford production is expected to increase approximately 50%-60% in Q2 over the first half, driven by continued well completions and anticipated strong well results.

Joe Mantegna, Gordon Clapp and Richard Dreyfuss Set for Glengarry Glen Ross at LATW
By Adam Hetrick
Academy Award winner Richard Dreyfuss and Tony Award winner Joe Mantegna will star in the L.A. Theatre Works production of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross, which will run May 16-19 at the James Bridges Theater.
Mantegna, who earned a Tony Award for playing Richard Roma in the 1984 Broadway premiere of Glengarry Glen Ross, returns to the role with Tony Award nominee Gordon Clapp (of the 2005 Broadway revival) as Dave Moss, Richard Schiff (of the recent 2012 Broadway revival) as George Aaronow, Dreyfuss as Shelly "The Machine" Levene, Bruce Davison as James Lingk and Josh Stamberg as John Williamson.
According to LATW, "With money, egos and jobs on the line, the cut-throat salesmen will stop at nothing to get their fair share of the American Dream. This gritty story of shifting values in the male-dominated workplace is as potent and exhilarating as ever."
The play won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The drama known for its rapid-fire dialogue and profane language was first produced on Broadway in 1984 under the direction of Gregory Mosher following London and Chicago runs. The drama was later adapted by Mamet for the 1992 film starring Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris and Kevin Spacey. (Pacino won his Best Actor Oscar in 1993, for "Scent of a Woman," in the same year he was nominated for the "Glengarry" film supporting role.)
All LATW performances are recorded and broadcast on LATW's nationally syndicated radio theatre series, "The Play's the Thing."
For more information visit latw.org. The James Bridges Theater is located in Melnitz Hall at 235 Charles E. Young Dr., Los Angeles, CA.

Review Details
Roadcrafter Light One Piece Suit
- Product Review (submitted on April 15, 2013):
Light vs Regular; I've had the pleasure to own both...I gave the original to my son last fall and recently bought the Light for NE Florida.
I've waited to log about 3000 miles on my naked before reviewing the new Light. The goretex material took some getting used to when gearing up. Boots get hung up and the main zipper is a perfect alignment or I struggle with it 2 or 3 times. Maybe after 5 years of use like my regular it'll loosen up. I ridden in downpours and the Light seals up perfectly. Now that it's getting warmer and I want some airflow, I've found the suit traps air. You just can't open the sleeve end zippers without fully opening the back flap. Or, you feel like the Michelin man. Same is true for the neck...snug it up and airflow to rear of suit stops. This maybe a combination of riding a bike with NO windscreen and the suit being completely air tight. Either way, it's a pain to keep adjusting sleeves and neck closures. Although I had none of these issues with the regular Stich, I'm not ready to trade...just yet. If it still feels like a sail after i install the Ztechnic screen...look on ebay. With hot, humid weather right around the corner, we'll see how the Light vent system works. I really like the reduced weight and bulk when it comes time to roll up and put in saddle bag. I'm 5-8 and ordered a 38L...the extra length in the sleeves and legs helps cover more of my boots and allows for a shorter glove gauntlet in the summer. It's roomy enough to layer for the 3 months of North Florida winter and hopefully some circulation in the heat.

There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled,
which leads to an unkown, secret place.
The old people came literally to love the soil,
and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling of
being close to a mothering power.
Their teepees were built upon the earth
and their altars were made of earth.
The soul was soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing.
That is why the old Indian still sits upon the earth instead of
propping himself up and away from its life giving forces.
For him, to sit or lie upon the ground is to be able to think more deeply
and to feel more keenly. He can see more clearly into the mysteries of
life and come closer in kinship to other lives about him.

This month on the 1091 Project we take a look at our physical lab spaces, how they are set up and how our location impacts our work. The Verne and Tanya Roberts Conservation Lab is located on Lower Level 1 of Perkins Library, Room 023. We share this level with The Link, Digital Production Center (DPC), Preservation, and Shipping and Receiving.
When you enter the lab you will see that the work benches are aligned along the left wall; the large equipment such as the board shears, job backer, cloth roll storage and standing press are in the center of the room; the washing sink, clean-up sink, flat file storage, rolling work table, ultrasonic polyester welder, and sorting shelves are to the right. We have several rooms within the space including a "dirty room" with fume hood, sink, Kwikprint and work table; the department head's office; a store room for supplies; and a photo documentation room. This space opened in 2008 and was purpose-built as a conservation lab as part of the Perkins Project. You can see a virtual tour on Flickr, and there is a video near the end of this post.
One of the challenges in designing the layout of the lab was the fact that we have several large columns in weird places around the room that cause bottlenecks in the flow of traffic through the space. Since these columns are holding up the building, we had to work around them to arrange the space to accommodate large equipment and the need to move materials through the room.
Another challenge is navigating full book trucks through so many self-closing doors. If I could wave a magic wand and go back in time, I would
invent the automobile ask for doors that open automatically in response to motion or the wave of your foot. The doors would also be wide enough to easily accommodate a truck of large, flat objects or supplies.
What Works
Having the benches in a row encourages interaction between the staff. Being close to each other allows for easy collaboration and discovery, it's easy to ask for opinions or to see what projects everyone is working on. It also allows for a more flexible space as you can use an empty bench behind you as a temporary landing space if you need to.
The separate spaces for the dirty room and photo documentation room allows that work to happen away from the main lab. For example, when someone is vacuuming mold in the fume hood, or taking pictures of their objects in the photo documentation room, the noise and visual disturbance is reduced and makes for a happier workplace.
One of the benefits of the renovation was getting upgrades in ergonomic equipment and features. We have a cork floor that is easier to stand on all day, sit-to-stand benches that raise and lower at the push of a button, and special chairs (designed for dental hygienists) that are comfortable and supportive when you have to sit for long periods. We also have daylight balanced lights, which not only helps in color matching but are brighter and more cheerful to be under (in my opinion) when you have no windows in your space.
On Being In The Basement
Being in the basement has its disadvantages and advantages. We have to push carts through several doors, around many corners, and into an elevator to retrieve materials from the stacks. Driving book trucks safely around obstacles like these can be tricky.
People also find it difficult to find the lab on this floor. Unfortunately there are two rooms on this level with the same room number (one in Perkins Library and one in the adjoining Bostock Library). Bostock 023 is a computer training room, so we often have students ringing our doorbell expecting the lab to be their classroom. I tell students applying for jobs, "If you can find the lab, you have cleared one hurdle to being hired."
The biggest advantage to being in our space is…our space. In our previous location our supplies were on pallets on the floor in a public hallway that went through the middle of our two work rooms. The photo documentation setup was in my office, which was difficult for everyone. We had no room for a fume hood or washing sink. We now have a physical space that allows us to provide a higher level of service and to work more efficiently. I quickly shot a video of our lab early this morning before everyone arrived. Sorry about the wobbly picture but you get the idea of what the space looks like.
The best thing about our space is that it is a gem in the crown of our renovated library. Our lab, the staff and the work they do have become one of the highlights of library tours. It is really fun to invite people "behind the scenes" to show off the great people I work with and the amazing things they do for the collections. Thanks for visiting us. Be sure to head over to Parks Library Preservation to read about their space!

Melissa says:
Fantastic video tour! I love that your dirty room contains a sink and the fume hood — it would be so nice to have the fume hood segregated but with plenty of space around it like that. And you may be in the basement, but that allows for so much elbow room!
Beth Doyle says:
Having elbow room really is great. I wish the dirty room was a little bigger, enough to accommodate a small sized suction table. But who is complaining? it's all good.
Peter Verheyen says:
Yes, great video tour and description. Thanks for sharing.

text: After The BustBuried beneath collapsed financing and bottom-dollar interest rates, manufactured home companies have begun clawing their way back to better times.By Matthew Power THE MANUFACTURED home industry accepts boom and bust cycles, in the same way the people of Southeast Asia accept monsoons and flooding. Both groups maintain a certainty that one day the rains will cease, and they will begin the familiar rituals: burying the dead, cleaning up the mud, and rebuilding.But in the last couple years, the "monsoon" of bad news hitting manufactured home builders has been especially devastating. Fates have conspired against them, it seems.First came the usual practice of lenders exposing the manufactured industry to far too much risk. Given the low federal lending rate, they apparently just couldn't resist passing those rates on to people who could barely make ends meet. Widespread bankruptcies ensued. Lenders lost their shirts. Owners lost their homes."We peaked out in 1999," recalls Jim Newman, CEO of privately held Manufactured Housing Enterprises (MHE) in Bryan, Ohio. "Now we're half the size we were then." The company dropped from 1,360 homes in 2002 to 972 homes in 2003.Along with the lending mistakes, says Newman, this prolonged period of low interest rates has hammered the manufactured housing industry. Jim Clifton, with the Manufactured Housing Institute in Arlington, Va., explains, "These rates, the lowest in 30 years, have created one of our biggest challenges. One of our key markets, renters, can now afford to buy a site-built home with very little money down."Shaking The PastWhat's more, Clifton says, the industry is still fighting an uphill battle with public perception. "The public's view of us [as low-quality, mobile homes] is about 30 years behind the reality on the ground," he says. "That image is based on the existing stock of 11 million homes, many of them metal-covered, single-wide ... product."Today's product, he says, has heavier framing, thicker drywall, and better quality control throughout. He adds that the industry has been pushing hard (so far with limited success) to encourage code officials to accept a version of manufactured home that meets the Energy Star requirements. That would give a much needed credibility boost to the industry, he says, and make the homes more highly competitive in their price point.Course CorrectionsWhatever the ultimate outcome of the Energy Star initiatives, says Clifton, the industry's rock-bottom experiences have shaken it to its stubborn core. There have been a few pleasant surprises in recent months, however—such as when billionaire Warren Buffet purchased top manufactured housing producer Clayton Homes. "That really turned around the whole feeling in the industry and gave everybody hope," says Clifton.Fannie Mae's recent announcement that it will create a lending program for manufactured homes also should have a positive effect on the challenged industry, by raising qualification standards, limiting equity borrowing, and requiring slightly larger down payments."The Fannie Mae entry has been a big confidence builder," Clifton says. "One of their key partnerships is with GMAC, one of the world's largest mortgage holders."Eager to please these new bankers, the industry has become more proactive with smaller lenders, Clifton says, in an effort to prevent future melt-downs of this magnitude. "We have a program called 'Lender Best Practices,' which is like a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for lenders."Another program that should lower the bankruptcy rate is the Mortgage Asset Research Institute (MARI) fraud reporting system, which helps track developers and home buyers who use fraudulent documents or statements to bilk the lending system.Hedging BetsLending for manufactured homes is expected to increase by 33 percent this year, thanks to Fannie Mae's program, although sales will lag far behind that number for a while. At the same time, some companies have taken refuge in the growing modular market.Jim Newman of MHE, for example, says his modular product has taken off in recent months. Indeed, whereas manufactured housing slipped by 50 percent for many companies, modular units from Westchester Modular of Wingdale, N.Y., and Muncy Homes of Muncy, Pa., managed to grow by about 10 percent."We're attracting a lot of interest from site builders," Newman says. "They're realizing that we can build a house for $33 a foot, and we're doing 2,500-square-foot houses. Builders are dealing with a lot of uncontrollable labor issues right now. So we can provide a solution."Lenders Fight FraudDefaults on loans have severely damaged the manufactured housing industry, resulting in thousands of foreclosures—and, to make matters worse, banks are becoming ever more cautious about lending, thanks to a rise in fraudulent activity.Ever heard of mortgage fraud? One negative side effect of ultra-low interest rates has been a rise in the number of people defrauding borrowers and lenders out of their money by lying about real estate values. A common fraud scheme: Buy a low-cost home, then sell it for quadruple the price to an unsuspecting person by faking the appraised value. Mortgage Bankers Association of Washington held a conference recently to discuss the perils fraud poses to lenders. Here are a few key points.States with the most fraud (adjusted for population): Nevada, Utah, Maryland, Rhode Island, Montana, and Colorado, as well as the District of Columbia.States with the least fraud (adjusted for population): Iowa, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Indiana, West Virginia, and Arkansas.Counties with the highest incidence of fraud (adjusted for population): California's Orange and Riverside counties; Florida's Broward and Dade counties.Red flags ignored: In 50 percent of reported frauds, red flags were found to have been ignored by lenders.Appraisals too good to be true: One leading indicator of intent to defraud proved to be appraisals that come in much higher than expected. They allow the borrower to obtain more money and leave the lender holding less value than expected.Source: Mortgage Bankers Association Advertisement Keywords: SubjectMortgages and Banking Lenders Builder Confidence Economic Conditions Loans View more keywords SubjectMortgages and Banking Lenders Builder Confidence Economic Conditions Loans Modular Building Associations Home PricesSection / SubsectionFEATUREBylineMatthew Power View fewer keywords

Ellen Louise Haiston Rockwell, age 93, died on Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011, in St. Luke's-Cornwall Hospital in Newburgh.
Ellen was born on Sept. 4, 1918, in Tyrone, Pa. She grew up in Pottstown, Pa., where her father, Frank Haiston, was the superintendant of schools and her mother, Elizabeth Kriner was an elementary school teacher. Her younger sister, Mary Alice Fronheiser and older brother, Frank predeceased her.
She received her bachelor's degree in art education at Edenborough State teacher's college, where she met and married Richard Waring Rockwell in 1942. During World War II, she volunteered for the Red Cross, until her first child, Jane, was born in 1944.
When her husband returned from the war, the family moved to Brooklyn, where he continued his education at Pratt Institute under the GI bill. In 1951, the family moved to New City.
She helped found the Collaberg School in Stony Point, where she taught art and kindergarten for many years. She divorced in 1962, and after her children were grown, she moved to California in 1973, where she was a member of the Synanon Community for 18 years, working as a graphic artist.
In 1991, she moved back east to be near family. For 18 years, she lived in Edmeston and Cooperstown, and worked for the Otsego County Office of Aging where she was the editor of the Office of Aging newsletter. In September 2009, she was forced to retire at _ age 91, after losing her eye sight.
However, she continued to do volunteer work at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown until she moved to Cornwall in November 2010, to be closer to her children.
She was an inspiration to all who met her for her fierce independence and determination. Despite visual impairment and aging, she continued to exercise daily and enjoy life.
She enjoyed good food, ice cream, cappuccinos (at "2 Alice's Restaurant" in Cornwall), audio books, public radio and most of all — visits from her childrenand good friends. She was exercising with her best friend when she had her stroke and quickly slipped into a coma.
She is survived by her four children, Jane Jaffe (New York City), Nicholas Rockwell (Fort Montgomery), Andrew Rockwell (Ringwood, N.J.) and Jessica Rockwell (New Gloucester, Maine); and six grandchildren, Jason Claiborne, Chris Rockwell, Jed Rockwell, Nicole, Alex and Eric Jederlinic; as well as two great-grandchildren, Kimberly Rose and Aiden Rockwell.
In accordance with her wishes, she did not want a funeral but a celebration of life gathering to be held in her memory. This will be held in the spring of 2012, along with the spreading of her ashes over her favorite mountain top-view in Harriman State Park. The date is yet to be determined.
Her friends will be notified and asked to contribute any memorabilia they wish to share. She will be missed.

A cholo is stereotypically male, depicted as wearing loose fitting khaki pants or shorts, with white knee-high socks, creased jeans, so-called wifebeater white sleeveless athletic shirt, and button-front shirts, commonly plaid and flannel.
Cholos are known for starching and pressing their pants and shirts.
Some cholos, particularly older cholos (veteranos) or cholos wishing to adopt a more traditional look, wear formal wear inspired by zoot suit fashion, including dress shirts with suspenders, and fedora hats, but may still retain cholo elements such as a bandana or hair net.
Younger cholos typically participate in side shows to show off their immature mentality and disregard for public safety. They have penis envy for their white counterparts that drive macho monster trucks.
Older cholos typically sit on the porch in Livermore and drink bear. Their protruding bellies are indicative of their lack of self control like most liberal progressives! They are useless to accomplish anything and usually can be observed making incoherent comments on Pleasanton Weekly.

We are pleased to announce Perrier-Jouët as the newest partner of Design Miami/2012. Not only will the acclaimed champagne house be supplying the fair's Collectors Lounge and special events with Cuvée Belle Epoque champagne, they will also be presenting a unique commission by the London-based design duo Glithero.
The profound Art Nouveau heritage at Perrier-Jouët is clear – the House in Epernay, France contains over 200 works by some of the school's masters. Glithero, composed of Tim Simpson and Sarah van Gameren, visited the historic Maison Belle Epoque earlier this year in order to draw inspiration for their work. They stand in a long line of artistic collaborations with Perrier-Jouët that have been occurring since 1902.
Speaking of the visit to the House, Tim Simpson described how he was "struck by a sudden change in atmosphere, of ultimate stillness, like entering a parallel world." It is this impression that he and his partner Sarah are hoping to bring to Design Miami/ 2012 with their salon installation. "We are aiming to bring this feeling of disorientation and timelessness to Design Miami/, to evoke the sense of being so deeply lost in reflection that you question which version of orientation is the truth."
The experimental environment created by Glithero, with its curvilinear forms and natural motifs, will not only reflect the history of Perrier-Jouët but also the nature-inspired work at this year's fair. Following Design Miami/ 2012, the work will be permanently displayed at the Maison Belle Epoque, and will stand alongside the works of Emile Gallé, Daniel Arsham, Noé Duchaufour Lawrance and others.

Camera Reads Fingerprints From a Distance in Seconds
- |

The AIRprint may sound like something from Apple (actually, it sounds exactly like something from Apple), but is in fact a box that can read fingerprints from over six feet away. It uses two 1.3MP cameras which are each tuned to a different plane of polarized light, one horizontal and one vertical. The box sends out a beam of polarized light and while one camera sees peaks, the other sees valleys, effectively upping the resolution greatly. This allows it to photograph your prints from afar in around one second per finger.
The main use would be building security, speeding up scans and making them easier to do. Future versions of this experimental tech will be faster and able to scan a whole hand's worth of fingers at once. When that happens, George Lucas may have to rewrite the famous scene.

Apeejay already called selected candidates to come on 14th sep and deposite the fees till 16th
I dont understand how they offered admission when some people are still left for interview on 14th
Its really bad on there part :-(
Guys...Emails from DPS Noida are expected from today. Please share whenever anyone of you all receives the email.
Any one given II round of Apeejay on 14th Sep and got admission call ???
Hi Lavika,
Are you go through Amity 2nd round. if yes, please guide me , i have on 19th.
Hi Members,
My kid got selected both in Apeejay & Amity Noida (Round 1). We let APJ go as Amity was our priority. However, I am considering to keep a back up from the list of school as follows:
2) Mayoor
3) Sommerville International
4) DPS International
Request if any other member here could rate these schools on overall performance.
Called on landline no of DPS Noida...as per them, emails will start coming from tomorrow onwards...lets wait.
1) LVIS Good at infrastructure and academics ... but we have not filled form for this
2) Mayoor I went through its prospectus I liked it and seeking it as a first priority in my list
3) Sommerville International I went for interaction at this school its new opened in April this year ... not sure we can take admission here or not .... after interaction same day they confirmed to take admission .... But still i m confused as it is directly control by same trust who govern other Somerville school ....
4) DPS International : I dont like DPS I feel they are suitable to business class this was a statement of a student from our Office who was from IIT and told many times we feel inferiority complex ....
Please on forum if any one decided to take admission in Sommerville International school inform me also about there reviews .....
That's great. I liked the Principal of LVIS. She was very good to talk to.
Wish your child a very good and happy schooling.
I have got it in Kothari International School.

I want to make HTTP POST request to a URL and show the response text back to the user.
I download the HTTPClientExample project from here - http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._2_en.zip.html
I browsed through the HTTPClientExample source files. To start off, I copied the ClientEngine.h and ClientEngine.cpp to my project folder structure.
In their ClientAppUI.cpp, CClientAppUi::ConstructL(), they have declared iEngine as
So, now I am confused where I should place the iEngine initialization code in my project. In the HeloWorldContainerView.cpp or HelloWorldAppUi.cpp. Please tell me in which constructor I should add the initialization code. (I see 2 to 3 constructor like functions in each file)Code:void CClientAppUi::ConstructL() { BaseConstructL(EAknEnableSkin); iAppView = CClientAppView::NewL(ClientRect()); AddToStackL(iAppView); iEngine = CClientEngine::NewL(*iAppView); }
Once I declare iEngine, I could make HTTP POST request using the following code
Code:TRAPD(err, iEngine->IssueHTTPPostL(uri8, KMimeType, postData8));
