GCSE History vs Geography(48 Posts)
DTs will probably have to choose between the two. What would be likely considerations? They are more science inclined than English. Don't like writing essays much. Is that something to take in to account when making the choice?
History is lots of essays. There is more overlap between geography and science. But your DCs must have an idea of which they'd rather study.
Have they any preference themselves? It's a cite easier to study either subject if you're interested in it....
After that, I'd say that geography does seem to sit well with the sciences and maths, whilst History sits with English/Languages.
I am a geography teacher so a bit bias. However as eveyone else has said geo does have a fair amount of science in it and if they find science interesting I would imagne that Geography would appeal to them.
As a geography teacher (married to a history teacher) I'd say this is a false choice and source of much misunderstanding. Unless they have a very small conort, schools should be offering the choice to do both. On the other hand, they shouldn't really be forcing children to do either (although they may wish to do this now as it looks like being part of the EBACC stipulation that schools are already being ranked on in some quarters even though the decisions haven't been finalised).
If pupils are trying to make the choice to do one or the other, they should do the one they enjoy most, as this will help them put in the work needed to do well. Potentially more extended writing in history and more breadth of skills in geography, but it depends on the board the school follows.
My DD could do both but will almost certainly drop history. She's science-inclined and loves the physical geography side. Doesn't really see the point of history - neither did I at that age, it seemed like something you could just read about or learn from documentaries. I rather think that to be really good at history - the analysis side not pointless fact regurgitation - requires more maturity of mind.
Can you ask what exam board(s) are used, & look up some past papers/specifications online? Check any coursework requirements too.
This will give your dc more idea what they'll actually be doing.
Also a good idea to get them to chat to their current teachers in both subjects.
Well, DD had very good scores in both subjects up to having to choose, but didn't want to do both (already had an academic timetable from other choices). My advice was to do Geography because her love for history will mean that she will eventually pick it up effortlessly through reading and watching films for pleasure. Also, History is always someone else's story, and it is never possible to see things from all sides, so in a sense it is less likely to remain an appealing subject to her scientific mind. There is also a lot of essay writing in History. The History teacher was encouraging her to let her heart decide and choose the subject she loves the most, but I feel that History is getting a bad press and is a much more popular choice than Geography. Also with History, it helps to look at the specific syllabus to be covered, as if it seems boring or repetitive to your DC, there is no escape from it. At least with Geography there is a choice of locations to focus on in the essays.
She wavered over her choice but eventually went for Geography. At first I wasn't sure if I should have weighted my arguments so heavily towards Geography, she got a B for her first half term. We got her report today and she got a 1 for effort (exceptionally good) and an A grade for the second half of the term 'without trying too hard'.
I did Geography GCSE and not History and really regret it now. My knowledge of History is pitiful. I know you can read up about it as an adult but it's not the same thing.
I would look beyond not wanting to write essays. History is hugely important, I would go as far to say it should probably be compulsory.
Definitely more cross over with science in geography, so it is either or and they are people who would benefit from the similarities then this might be the way to go. But there is a lot to gain from breadth in the curriculum as well.
However, for a teen who 'doesn't see the point in history' I would, personally, make history entirely compulsory. It is the one subject I will be gutted if my children don't choose (I know, I am likely to be hopelessly disappointed). I only studied it to 16 (DH has a degree in it), but it is the subject which offers the most insight into the world IMO. I hate to sound Govian, but I do sort of think History should be a mandatory subject for all.
Hear, hear savoir
History and Geography were once both compulsory to 16 and this has not been ruled out for the future in the current consultation. I agree with those who think history is vital, but it is those with an insight into geographical processes and our changing world who will create the history studied by our descendants. That's why I think they go so well together, history is geography in the past; geography is history in the making.
>History and Geography were once both compulsory to 16
were they? They certainly weren't when I was doing O levels in 1977. We were only allowed to do 8 so if you wanted 3 sciences and an MFL, along with maths and 2x English (which were compulsory for us) it was impossible to do both. DH(same year) couldn't do geography because he wanted to do history (because of fabulous teacher who made up for deficiencies in English teaching) and was forced to do Latin and Divinity (he had to drop Biology too because of those which was worse ).
When I said I couldn't see the point of history - it was more that I couldn't see the necessity of being taught it versus other subjects - like HTs DD, it seemed something more readily picked up naturally. My own DD loved it in Yr7 when her excellent HT taught her class - this year and last she's had a distinctly uninspirational teacher. She's been through the list of history and geography teachers at her school and the latter are IHO better - which can be another relevant factor.
I have heard History is harder to get a good grade in because (Whispers) even quite dim kids can do well at it.
Which subject do they like better? Which has better teachers? Look at last few years school results -in our school one got significantly better results!
History and Geography were once both compulsory to 16
Not in the late 1960s - at my grammar school the choices available then were that you probably had to take one of them, but no requirement to take both - so there couldn't have been any government requirement to take both. DH took history only. I took both as they were favourite subjects.
Geography usually gets more exciting excursions (measuring beaches or rivers etc) than history if that matters to them.
My DD is doing both Geog and History at the moment, she is really enjoying it. I would do both if he is finding it hard to choose.
I did neither to GCSE (gave up both at the end of Y9) and it has never held me back. If pressed, I would count Latin as my 'humanity' subject; the course we did involved some Roman history.
For your DTs, I would look primarily at which subject they enjoy most. If they enjoy both then at most schools they would be allowed to study both. If they enjoy neither, then look at an alternative e.g. R.S.
For me, the problem with geography at GCSE is that it moves away from physical geography to human geography, dunno if they're the right terms.
Dd took geography but found the human element dull as ditchwater.
HR - know what you mean ...Dairying in Denmark <yawn> . Not sure what they do in history now but it seemed to me (as a callow teen) that it took a distinct downturn from the fun Greek/Roman/ through to Elizabethan era we got in the pre-O level years, judging from my friends moaning about essays about the Chartists (interesting as they may be in reality to a grownup)
Look at the two courses in detail. History will almost certainly contain Nazi Germany and two other topics. History is not a huge amount more writing than geography, possibly less extended writing than at KS3 depending on how that was assessed, as most of the exam questions will want one or two paragraph answers. They will have to do lots of writing in class. Don't go for history if its WJEC.
My dcs both did/is doing WJEC history. They both really enjoy it.
I've got one doing WJEC history too and loving it. The other loved it so much she's doing it at Uni. Both were stronger in English than science. DS took a long time to choose between them but in the end went for History because he liked it more and I think that is the key.
My ds is much stronger at science and maths but always loved history. My dd is a bit more of an all rounder.
Thank you everyone for your ideas and opinions. Lots to think about. Will show some of this to the boys and will also check out which exam boards the school uses. Previously they were inclined to take History but after an assembly this week at school they have changed to Geography. They were told that they would have to write lots of 3 page essays in History, not so much in Geography. Neither of the boys like writing essays much.
We have a few things to discuss before they make a decision. Will also be interesting to hear what the school have to say at the parent's meeting in January.
vj32 Out of interest, why not WJEC History?

Always have 1 eye on the jobs market I say.
As far as I know, there are more jobs available, in the UK, as afar as I know, in Geography rather then History.
Is History or Geography likely to be a choice for them at A Level?
Apparently about 80% of jobs recruited at 'milk-round' level are entirely non-degree specific. (I was told this by the head of the careers service at an RG University, who speaks to grad recruiters all the time and has research backing up a number approximating to this %). I highly doubt that you are significantly more employable with geography than with history tbh.
Not sure how relevant the "keeping an eye on the jobs market" thing is for GCSE options.
Its probably only relevant you're likely to want to actually be in something highly related to either subject - which if the child already has an inkling of then they wouldn't be asking the question, it'd be a no-brainer.
Geography counts as a science for lots of sciencey degrees, and there are geography elements in a lot of non sceience degrees
History is IMO more of an arts subject, and even if they want to opt for archaeology in the BSc spectrum of history, geography and survey skills are key for that too!
At age 14ish, some pupils are starting to think more seriously about what they want to do jobs wise.
The op wants considerations for her DTs.
Possible jobs is a consideration.
Gives the op an avenue of discussion about loose discussion of the way the DTs are thinking job wise.
For instance, they may be more thinking of an outdoors job than an indoors. Geography can have elements of outdoors, history mainly indoors.
History and geography really need to be considered as to both content studied (history will be 4 units, no guarantee of Nazi's!!) and the Skills - controlled assessment is 25% so independent research is important, also forming reasoned arguments, presenting and working in groups, drawing conclusions etc. Both are good subjects and with EBacc are now being pushed by many schools, but consider child's preference for subject at KS3, English/Science is a good guideline but by yr9 presume they will have an idea of teachers and teaching? Think about future plans but I would recommend going with something they enjoy and feel they can do... (But am Hums teacher so biased!!)
Geo for my DD was gr8, good teacher, good exam board so good content, enjoyable. It makes holidays interesting as it's all related and easy to see - sea features, rivers, flooding! etc.
History is lots of essays and exams boards content differs alot - not all English history!
Go for Geo!
From a slightly different angle, it is worth having a look at the school's a'level results for each subject. If one subject has significantly lower results than another then it is likely that the teaching may be poor and it may be a waste of time if the subject is unlikely to be well taught at a'level where it really matters.
I did geog at standard grade cos I liked the teacher better!
Ended up doing higher, csys, degree, teacher training and I've never regretted it!
I have a history bias as if you love it it is a good one to do and much easier to get a good grade if you are really interested. My ds wants to do both but is always reading either a history or geography book. Career wise history is far better for legal/pension/insurance/financial careers as you need to be able to research and remember old trust agreements/laws etc some dating back to feudal times. Therefore it depends on the type of career and how interested your boys are in the subject but I would not discount history as a bad career subject.
You can choose where to do your a'levels and many people do change at 16.
Ok geography teacher bias here. I am essentially a physical geographer at A Level but the GCSEcourse is much more balanced in terms of content. The best advice I shall give to my year 9s next week is to do the subject that they enjoy as that is most certaianly the one that they will do the best in, don't go for the teacher as a reason but think about your balance of GCSEs and where you want to 'go' after - more boys at our school take geography. I have 32 in my GCSE class (again!) of which 26 are boys.
The longest answer we have at GCSE at the moment is an 8 mark answer (AQA A syllabus)whch requires good exam skills to achieve the high level answer - no waffling time allowed!
Good luck in your choice DTs!
Thanks everyone for your perspectives. We have options evening today for the parents.
I would strongy suggest that they go for the one that they enjoy the most. If they genuinely like both the same then it comes down to the actual content of each course. I can't believe that people are making assumptions about what will or will not be on the syllabus when each school can do a different exam board and even the same board will have different unit options.
Geography, Our history is all modern stuff and depressing beyond belief.
Huge unit on the Holocaust and assorted other joyful things.
Important yes, but for revising at 1am, I'd much prefer glaciation.
Both DDs did History and Geography and both found Geography easier to get a good grade in, and one DD is now doing History A level. History is heavy on essay writing and the use of historical skills such as use of sources, whereas Geography is more about bitesize learning. Both DDs are dyslexic though so that may be a factor. In the end it is about interest though.
Yes, DD1 is dyslexic and History HW seemed to take forever, so she' s opted for Geography.
I did both back in the dark ages of O level, and much preferred Geography. Human geography was dull, but lots of nice sciency physical stuff and no dates.
I actually got A in both, but the History was luck. First two questions were the thing I'd crammed the night before and steel making. DDad worked in a steel works and I'd listened to that bit.
History does have alot of essays and agree that Geography contains more science. My 2 dss took Geography and hated it as they considered it to be everything but Geography. Unfortunately a while ago so can't say which board.
I think they will know for themselves and suggest looking at the content with them and asking teachers to clarify what each one entails.

wow... we've had a company policy that we MUST use truecrypt with AES at minimum as a boot level encryption on all laptops for many years now and all encryption passwords are at least 15 characters long, and picked by IT staff not the individuals to ensure they are compliant with encryption standards here...
Posted 15 November 2012 - 19:04
Lots of people here use TrueCrypt (including myself). If you can't figure it out on your own, create a new thread and we'll help you out.
Finally, someone who uses TrueCrypt, maybe you can tell me how to use it, because the instructions on the web site suck. And, I'm getting a laptop again soon.

If it was so 'simple', how come I still can't figure out how to use it!
Encryption costs money. Did anyone think about what happens when you underfund an entire department like Nasa is? Mistakes happen.

The Northfield Trails are intersecting loops of varying difficulty encompassing the mountain between the Grandin Reservoir and School St behind the old Northfield campus. The trails are mostly smooth and flow nicely but offer challenging climbs and fun downhills. There is also access to some great powerline trails, fire roads and doubletrack.
The Northfield trails used to be beautifully cared for but since the Northfield campus closed they have been a little neglected. Join us on Sunday, April 18th, to bring them back to live! We'll be raking some trails, rerouting a section of the yellow trail and hopefully rebuilding a bridge that desperately needs it.
This Trail day is part of the TREK/NEMBA Trail Care Series - anyone who comes and helps out gets automatically entered into a drawing for a Trek mountain bike!
We're starting at 9am behind Hillside dorm on Winchester Road in Northfield (email me for directions). We'll split up into groups, tackle some projects and clean the trails and meet again for lunch. And for those that stil have some energy in the afternoon, there will be a ride on the freshly groomed trails to admire our handiwork!
PIZZA - After the work is done, there will be pizza! - PIZZA
Bring your bike if you want to come out for a ride after!! These trails really are a lot of fun!
Please let me know if you're interested in coming so we know how much pizza to get. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com

A switch assembly having a lighted display module for programmable character display where the module is an active part during switch actuation. The module has a force actuating line and is displaced by a predetermined portion of an applied switch actuating force because the module line for transmitting such force is selectively displaced from the line of the applied actuating force.
1. A switch assembly comprising:
a. force transmitting means displaceable from a first non-actuation switch position to a second actuating switch position by an actuating force directed along a force transmitting line defined by the centerline of said force transmitting means,
b. flexible indicator means for display of indicia, said flexible indicator means having a centerline defining a force transmitting line, and displaceable by said force transmitting means,
c. said flexible indicator means centerline misaligned with said force transmitting means centerline by a selected distance so that displacement of said transmitting means by the actuating force displaces said indicator means, and said misaligned centerline reducing the transmitted actuating force by a first determinable portion, and
d. switch means operable by said reduced actuating force.
2. The switch assembly of claim 1 in which said flexible indicator means includes a resilient means absorbing a first portion of the reduced actuating force displacing said indicator means and transmitting a second portion of the reduced actuating force.
3. The switch assembly of claim 2 in which said switch means is operable by said second portion of the reduced actuating force.
4. The switch assembly of claim 1 in which said switch means defines a force transmitting centerline that is misaligned with said indicator means centerline by a selected distance, said misaligned indicator means and switch means centerlines reducing said reduced actuating force by a second determinable portion.
5. The switch assembly of claim 1 in which said force transmitting means are selectively transparent and said flexible means displays said indicia therethrough.
6. The switch assembly of claim 1 in which said switch means defines a force transmitting centerline that is aligned with said indicator means centerline.
Illuminated switch assemblies of various types are considered to be well known in the prior art. Among the various types are those switch assemblies that either project indicia from a plane behind the switch through the actual switch itself for viewing at the switch/switch panel assembly. U.S. Pat. No. 3,777,222 is considered to be one example of an indicating panel including a switch assembly that incorporates both principles of rear projection and through-the-switch illumination. In my copending application for a SWITCH ASSEMBLY, Ser. No. 585,203, filed June 9, 1975, and assigned to the assignee of the present application, the switch assembly includes the principle of through-the-switch illumination without the use of a membrane type switch (U.S. Pat. No. 3,732,389 is one example thereof). However, the actuating force applied to such a switch assembly in certain applications can result in damage to or destruction of the switch assembly components.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a new and improved switch assembly having selective actuation sensitivity.
It is an object of the invention to provide a switch assembly for illumination of displaceable indicia during switch actuation by the indicia wherein the switch assembly has selective actuation sensitivity.
It is an object of the invention to provide a switch assembly having selective actuation sensitivity and illumination of displaceable indicia that substantially reduces the probability of damage to the displaceable indicia during switch actuation by the indicia.
Briefly, in accordance with the invention, a new and improved switch assembly is provided having a transparent force transmitting means such as a flexible keypad with transparent keys that define a key line for each key which, when a selected key is displaced by an actuating force, itself displaces a flexible indicator means that defines a flexible indicator line selectively aligned with or displaced from the key line, which displays indicia through the displaced key and where the indicia can be programmable, to operate a switch means that defines a switch line which, when the flexible indicator line is so displaced, can be selectively displaced from the flexible indicator line or can be common with the flexible indicator line, the switch means operates through an intermediate resilient means that absorbs a portion of the actuating force transmitted by the selectively displaced lines and further absorbs any rebound force developed by the switch means during its operation.
While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which may be regarded as the invention, the organization and method of operation, together with further objects, features, and the attending advantages thereof, may best be understood when the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the switch assembly of the invention in an operative unit.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged, sectional view of a PRIOR ART switch assembly that can find use in the operative unit.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, sectional view, partly broken away, of the switch assembly along the line 3--3 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a vector representation of an actuating force transmitted by the switch assembly of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view, partly broken away, of another switch assembly of the invention.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional view, partly broken away, of another switch assembly of the invention.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged, prespective view, partly broken away of a keypad that can find use in the switch assemblies of the invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the switch assembly of the invention can find use in a portable interactive device 12 which can be hand-held computer with display. However, it is contemplated that the switch assembly can find use wherever there is a need for both an illuminated, programmable indicator and a control switch as an integral assembly.
In FIG. 2, the PRIOR ART switch assembly 10 includes several elements: a switch panel 14, a keypad 16, an indicator package 18, a cushion 20, a switch package 22, and a case or housing 24.
The switch panel 14, which is the cover for the case 24, is formed from a firm material with a plurality of selectively positioned apertures; for example, key apertures 26 and 28.
The keypad 16 is formed from a transparent, flexible, and readily moldable material which can be a conventional elastomer. Keycaps, such as keycaps 32 and 34, are molded at selected positions so that the respective keycaps, for example keycaps 32 and 34, extend outwardly through an associated key aperture, here key apertures 26 and 28. The keypad 16 can be either a clear, transparent member or a colored, transparent member.
The indicator package 181 of FIG. 2 has a base plate 44 that is relatively thin and flexible with light emitting devices, which may or may not be programmable, positioned thereon and encapsulated in a transparent epoxy that, when suitably cured, forms a hard protective module such as modules 54 and 56 as illustrated by FIG. 2. Application by Ronald C. Shattuck, Ser. No. 585,204, filed June 9, 1975 and assigned to the assignee of the present application.
The cushion 20 as shown by FIG. 2 is selected to have a desired resiliency for the absorption of a portion of an operator induced force and for the dissipation of forces induced by other than an operator as described hereinafter.
A conventional switch package 22, which can be a plurality of dome switches, completes the switch assembly 10. In FIG. 2, the switch package has a dome switch 60 coactive with keycap 32 and programmable character display module 54, and a dome switch 62 coactive with keycap 34 and display module 56.
Operatively, the PRIOR ART switch assembly 10 is actuated by an applied actuating force which displaces, for example, keycap 34 from its non-actuating or rest position as illustrated by FIG. 2 and flexes the keypad 16. Since the encapsulated display module 56 is hard, the displaced keycap 34 transmits the actuating force to the module and displaces it while at the same time flexing the base plate 44 thereof. The displaced module 56 compresses the adjacent resilient cushion 20 which absorbs a portion of the thus transmitted actuating force. The remainder of the actuating force is transmitted by the cushion 20 which depresses the dome switch 62 into its actuate mode. The resiliency of the cushion 20 combined with the flexure both of base plate 44 and keypad 16, including the slight compressibility of keycap 34, restores the switch assembly 10 to its non-actuating or rest position when the actuating force is removed. Any "snap-back" force generated by the dome switch 62 when the actuating force is removed is absorbed and dissipated by the resilient cushion 20 so that damage to the display module 56 is avoided. Similarly, the resiliency of not only the cushion 20 but also the springiness of the material that forms the keypad 16 and its keycaps also prevents damage to the display module 56 during switch assembly actuation.
Referring to the remaining FIGS., wherein like parts in FIGS. 1 and 2 are hereinafter identified by the same reference character, one form of switch assembly 70 of the invention is shown by FIG. 3. In the switch assembly 70, a keycap axis or line 72, which can be a centerline, defined by keycap 32 is selectively displaced from or misaligned with line 74 that is a common line defined by the indicator module 54 and the dome switch 60 which are physically aligned in the switch assembly of FIG. 3.
Operatively, the switch assembly 70 is actuated by an applied actuating force, schematically depicted by force arrow 76 in FIG. 4, which displaces keycap 32, in this operative example, and is directed along the line 72 thereof. The displaced keycap 32 transmits the actuating force 76 to the indicator module 54. However, the selected displacement or misalignment of the keycap 32 and the indicator module 54 decreases the total actuating force transmitted from the keycap to the indicator module by a predetermined amount.
In the vector analysis as schematically illustrated by FIG. 4, actuating force 76 is equal to a resultant force vector fR which is the sum of vertical force vector fV and horizontal force vector fH. Because of the displacement of line 74 from line 72, the generation of horizontal force vector fH decreases the transmitted actuating force, schematically depicted by force arrow 78, to an amount equal to the vertical force vector fV. For example, where actuating force 76 has a unit value of 4, the vertical force vector fv can have a unit value of 2.5; the unit value of force 78 dependent for the most part upon the total displacement between the lines 72 and 74. The actuating force 76 can be further decreased by varying keycap proportions and switch panel 14 configurations. For example, in FIG. 5, switch assembly 80 has misaligned lines 72 and 74 as in the switch assembly 70 of FIG. 3; the keycaps 82 and 84 formed in the keypad 86, and the switch panel 88, however, are configured to decrease the amount of a transmitting force applied to the keycaps.
In FIG. 5, keycap 82 is formed in the keypad 86 so that the keycap extends outwardly through key aperture 90 with an exposed actuating surface 92 that is flush with aperture rim 94 formed in the switch panel 88. Where an actuating force is applied to the exposed actuating surface 92 by an operator's finger, the aperture rim 94 is properly sized so that the operator's finger is restricted by the aperture rim during compression-depression of the keycap 82 to actuate switch 60 to limit the total amount of actuating force applied to the keycap.
Similarly, keycap 84 of switch assembly 80 as shown by FIG. 5 extends outwardly into key aperture 98 with an exposed actuating surface 100. The exposed actuating surface 100 is recessed below an aperture rim 102 formed in the switch panel 88. The recessed portion of the actuating surface 100 of the keycap further impairs accessability of the operator's finger during compression-depression of the keycap 84.
Referring to FIG. 6, another form of switch assembly 110 of the invention has a keycap axis or line 114 defined by dome switch 60 that it is selectively displaced from or misaligned with line 74 which, as shown by FIGS. 3 and 5 as described hereinbefore, is displaced from or misaligned with line 72. This selected displacement or misalignment of lines 72, 74, and 114 further decreases the total actuating force transmitted from an activated keycap, here keycap 82, through an indicator module 54 and cushion 20 to dome switch 60 by a predetermined amount which is selectively determinable as described hereinbefore.
Additional reduction in the total actuating force transmitted through any of the switch assemblies 70, 80, and 110 of the invention as described and shown by respective FIGS. 3, 5, and 6 can be realized by a keypad having the exposed actuating surfaces of the keycaps formed in selected configuration as shown by FIG. 7. One form of keypad 120 as shown by FIG. 7 is formed from a transparent, flexible elastomer material. The keypad provides (1) a plurality of keycaps 122, 124, 126, and 128 that are molded at selected locations so that the keycaps coincide with respective apertures in a switch panel, such as the switch panel 88 of FIG. 5; (2) a one-piece element with the keycaps formed to desired human-factors features such as size, shape, visual, and response characteristics as described in more detail hereinafter; and (3) a dust and hermetic sealing mechanism -- that is disclosed in the above-mentioned patent application Ser. No. 585,203 filed June 9, 1975 to which reference is made and, while I conceived the invention disclosed in the aforementioned patent application and the present invention, the present invention is directed to the switch assembly having selective actuation sensitivity as herein described and shown.
Among the several control features that can be realized by the keypad 120 of FIG. 7 are the following:
A. Symbolic shape -- designing and shaping one or more keycaps to visually represent functional tasks such as in a flow diagram, or as pictorial shapes; for example, triangular keycap 126.
B. Nomenclature -- permanent nomenclature can be molded into individual keycaps, then filled with a desired material such as an opaque material, and cured; for example, keycap 128 with its word MORE.
C. Blind feel -- shaping keycaps so that desired keycaps have a distinct, individual "feel" when touched during switch actuation by the fingertips of a human operator; for example, keycap 122 with its outwardly directed knife edge 130; or keycap 124 with either its concave or convex, as desired, exposed actuating surface 132.
D. Sensitivity which provides an additional reduction in the total actuating force transmitted through the keypad and its keycaps; here keypad 120 and keycaps 122, 124, 126, and 128 of FIG. 7
1. varying the proportion between keycap thickness and width such keycaps 82 and 84 as described and shown by FIG. 5;
2. varying keycap proportions and switch panel configurations such as keycap 84 and its aperture rim 102; and
3. shaping the exposed outer surfaces, such as surfaces 130 and 132 of respective keycaps 122 and 124 of FIG. 7.
As will be evidenced from the foregoing description, certain aspects of the invention are not limited to the particular details of construction as illustrated, and it is contemplated that other modifications and applications will occur to those skilled in the art. It is therefore, intended that the appended claims shall cover such modifications and applications that do not depart from the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Siam Kempinski exudes class with its elegant interiors, and impressive lobby. Rooms are well appointed, although the lighting system is too elaborate. We stayed one night,and found it ideal as a base for shopping at the Paragon Mall next door, with it's many restaurants. Breakfast spread was good. One negative is as the Hotel wraps around a large courtyard/pool, the impression is that for certain rooms,there's a lot of corridors to walk through.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. We've stayed at many of the luxury hotels in Bangkok on our previous visits, but the Kempinski must rank as one of the best
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Siam Kempinski Hotel, the city-resort adjacent to Sa Pathum Palace, is part of Europe's oldest luxury hotel group, Kempinski Hotels. Located next to Siam Paragon, this luxurious "resort within a city," boasts 303 plush rooms and lavish suites. With its aim to create a sanctuary in the heart of the city, all rooms overlook lush beautifully landscaped tropical gardens awash with a cornucopia of flora and fauna, with 22 of them enjoying private access to the pools in the garden. In fact, it is the first and only hotel in Bangkok to offer the most unique and exclusive experience. ... more less

Hang on tight!
I am a NorCal native that has been down in San Diego for a handful of years for my job. I am a helicopter pilot for the Navy and really enjoy what I do! Besides that, I do my best at living a very fun and adventurous life. Right now most of my time is spent on school as I am just finishing up masters in International Relations at USD, but there is definitely time left for bike rides, beach days, nights with friends at the bars and low key nights on the couch with a glass of wine (or whiskey) and a movie. Family is super important to me and since we are spread throughout the country, I do a good amount of traveling to see them. I am on the lookout for an amazing guy that makes me laugh, can shake what he's got on the dance floor, can keep up with me on the golf course and enjoys an adventurous and healthy lifestyle. I am not afraid of being on my own but the company of a great person can't be beat. Those of you with bathroom selfies are probably not my type...all other selfies will be handled on a case by case basis. ;) Can't wait to hear from you!

There is nothing like a great spot for people watching... so great restaurants, cafes, and the beach are all winners. I love Torrey Pines - for golf and to just enjoy the coast. San Fran is my favorite city in the US but Paris has my heart.
Stand By Me, Girls, Game of Thrones, Seinfeld, Modern Family, and I love a good scary movie.
I really dig great restaurants and cool dive bars, getting out for a long run or bike ride, taking my dog to the beach, playing golf on the weekends (or during the week if I can), and late nights on the dance floor.
The Islamist. Quite the story.

Give prison facilities consistent, independent oversight
The Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) has been under intense scrutiny recently as the Miami Herald has been probing the unresolved story of the death of Darren Rainey, an inmate at the Dade Correctional Institution.
There are as many as 10 open investigations of inmate deaths in DOC facilities. In addition, four DOC investigators filed a whistle-blower complaint, presenting an increasingly alarming picture of potential corruption and criminal activity.
In Florida, few mechanisms exist for external oversight of criminal-justice matters — specifically, for monitoring prisons. While we have institutionalized accountability throughout other public policy arenas like education, we have yet to address this in criminal and juvenile justice.
Prisons are largely insular to protect the public. But a lack of transparency is unacceptable when it threatens the protection of those inside locked facilities. These public institutions — even if they are privately run — should not be so closed off as to become unsafe, or so insular that it prevents healthy public scrutiny.
Imagine a $2.3 billion corporation running without a board of directors' oversight. That is what it happening in the DOC.
Now consider education in Florida: There are expectations of accountability, through test scores and school grading, teacher and principal performance pay, local school board reviews, college and state university boards of trustees, and, at the state level, the boards of education and governors. And although stakeholders don't always agree on what or how things need to be measured, accountability, oversight and transparency mechanisms are deeply embedded in the fabric of education.
But the same cannot be said for criminal justice.
While the deaths under investigation may be viewed as separate occurrences (and responsibility may ultimately be tied to a few who are found directly culpable), there is a shared thread of distressingly limited transparency. Defensiveness of this magnitude points to a larger, continuing challenge that demands a more-systemic approach toward public accountability in Florida's correctional facilities.
When Gov. Rick Scott was elected, his transition team provided many recommendations. Among them, that the inspectors general of both the departments of Juvenile Justice and Corrections be made independent and, rather than report directly to the secretary of each agency, should instead report to the governor, the Legislature, and the agency. A variation of this was passed by the 2014 Legislature as HB 1835 and has now been signed into law by Gov. Scott. It will help to provide more arms'-length distance for these government watchdogs — up until now reporting to the agencies themselves — to be better positioned to perform their oversight functions and is a step in the right direction. But it is only one step.
A second recommendation called for the creation of an independent advisory council responsible for external oversight of both the departments of Juvenile Justice and Corrections. Charged with monitoring the conditions of all Florida correctional facilities, this body would be empowered to walk into any facility at any time — juvenile and adult — with access to every corner, inmate, employee and record.
A third recommendation called for a Special Advisor Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor for Public Safety to act as liaison to and coordinate with the advisory council, local governments, the Legislature, reentry networks and various criminal-justice stakeholder groups. The latter two recommendations have not yet been heeded.
Oversight doesn't have to be a dirty word. In fact, more attention to our correctional institutions can bring several benefits: expanded opportunities for public and private collaboration; safer work environments for correctional professionals; proactive deliberation to address challenges, problems and crises; public platform for budget and policy matters toward better outcomes; and fewer deaths and lawsuits.
As a 2006 Vera Institute of Justice report notes:
"What happens inside jails and prisons does not stay inside jails and prisons. It comes home with prisoners after they are released and with corrections officers at the end of each day's shifts. We must create safe and productive conditions of confinement not only because it is the right thing to do, but because it influences the safety, health, and prosperity of us all."
Deborrah Brodsky is director of the FSU Project on Accountable Justice, a partnership of Florida State University, Baylor University, St. Petersburg College, and Tallahassee Community College dedicated to advancing public safety through evidence and research.

Hard rock cafe: Rocking at the Pyramids?
Huh, Can you rock at the Pyramids of Giza? Well, if you shake the butt, maybe. Ofcourse you can rock at the Pyramids, but i'm trying to describe the Hard Rock cafe. Cairo has a Hard Rock cafe. It's not very far away from the Pyramids, so when you have day or night off. Start Rocking.
Among all of the more than 100 hardrock cafes around the globe, Cairo has certainly one of the most impressive locations – on the shore of the River Nile. The view is breathtaking. While sitting at one of the barstools next to the large windows, you can see feluccas, the huge illuminated water fountain in the middle of the Nile – all that topped only by the skyline of downtown Cairo, with bridges, the Cairo tower, hotels and other high-rises.
Dress Code: When you like to buy a T-shirt of this Egyptian Cafe, and you're noty goning to have the time to buy on in Cairo. Don't worry! I've found T-shirts of this Cafe in Luxor, Aswan and even in Kom Ombo.Related to:

After Eight, Restaurant Night Pub: Feel free to dance, eat & drink
Eventhough the place is small but the spirit of the guests there makes it unlimited and spacious.
Jazz, Salsa, oriental music and more are played depending on the day of the week.
people are happy and relaxed there so step in take off your jacket and dance in the spot.
they serve nice food and open all day and close very late at night.
Dress Code: dress decent and clean you are out to enjoy and people should too, so dont hurt their vision.Related to:

Merryland: Eat & Be Merry!
We had dinner at Merryland and it's a very very crowded and festive place @ Heliopolis.

Cairo: Partying in the Middle East
Just a quick tip for those people wanting to party in Cairo (and probably more of the Islamic country) - the w'end is not Sat/Sun. The BIG partying night is Thursday because Friday is a public holiday.
Most of the big clubs are in 5-star hotels
New Years Eve!!
The nightlife is there in Sharm if you have someone to show you where to find it... we celebrated New Years Eve at a gorgeous International Hotel. (the party was so good I can't remember the name of the Hotel!)
I was really shocked to see a sign that read 'Please put all firearms here'. The arrow was pointing to what I would have called the 'cloakroom reception area'... the real scary thing was this sign appeared after we had already been scanned by two metal detecting doorways with security guards!
Something else I learned was, people in Egypt don't arrive to celebrate New Years Eve until about 11.45pm! You should have seen my face when we walked into the Club at about 10.30pm and discovered we were the first to arrive! Ah! But at about 11.55pm there was standing rooms only and the place was really pumping! It was the BEST New Years Party EVER!
Thanx to this amazing man (in the photo with me) I now have a thousand memories... my eyes have been opened to so much... Frank, what can I say... you are my soulmate... forever yours.
Dress Code: Dressed to impress!
Ladies just remember if you are partying around Egyptian men most of them haven't see a clevage in public before!! So take it easy and don't be offended if they say you're 'topless'.Related to:

Hannibal Review: Becomingby Nick McHatton at . Updated at . Comments
In order to truly catch a killer, do you have to become one?
Will Graham is finding out the answer to this question on Hannibal Season 2 Episode 10 as he finds his own design as Hannibal's very own protégé.
Will succumbs to his own darkness even further as Freddie digs deeper into his life and finds a jaw, probably Randall's, and attempts to flee.
There's a bit of symbolism in this scene as Will acts very much like Hannibal does with Beverly. The difference is the conclusion does not fade to black. There's little chance Freddie is enjoying some tea and writing up her story in a remote location.
Will takes her life. Anyone digging that deeply into Hannibal's life gets the axe, it's standard operating procedure at this point; the difference is this: has Will done this act because he wants to catch Hannibal or because he's beginning to like being like Hannibal?
No more is said with Jack. It gives the illusions that although both Will and Hannibal are the main suspects, Freddie has so many enemies that it's not implausible to find that she is murdered for other reasons.
The imagery with the stag continues to make appearances. The stag is now an image of Hannibal and Will dreams of killing the stag, to enact his wish of truly killing Hannibal.
It's the only real clue there is to go off of to see how far Will is when it comes to Hannibal, but Will continues to kill the stag. Will's clearly crossing the line to get to Hannibal. He's even willing to pull a Hannibal on Freddie's body to get where he needs to go with him.
Alana sleeping with Hannibal continues to just be sickening. The entire scene as she sleeps with him is absolutely unappealing.
Alana only begins to grow suspicious of the Hannibal and Will after Freddie comes to question her and she shows up dead later on. It takes Freddie to spark something inside of her that Will and Hannibal's relationship is not right, yet she's willing to defend it one breath prior.
The saddest part of the entire situation is Alana has a big hand in Will's deterioration, thus making her partly responsible for this course of action he has taken.
Mason Verger's introduction makes one hope that Hannibal will be killing him off quickly, so he must be doing something right. Margot's downright fear of him is palpable in every scene they share and he makes use of it every chance he has.
Is Will still becoming Hannibal to catch him... or does Will now want to be like him?

Nick, you'll have to direct us, please, to that interview where Fuller says that Lounds is dead - because I am not convinced in the slightest that she is. For two reasons: 1 - Freddie (or Freddy) Lounds is an extremely pivotal character in the "Red Dragon" novel, even more so than Chilton and Katz in the Harris novels (and Fuller's already killed those two off). Unless he's changing absolutely everything, Lounds isn't dead. I find it hard to believe that Fuller would kill Lounds now, given his desire to put Red Dragon to screen and the epically visual scenes that Freddy Lounds has in the novel. 2. I may turn out to be wrong, but I still think that this is all one very long con by Will Graham (and likely Jack Crawford). A few episodes ago, the fishing conversation between Jack and Will alluded to the notion that Will is using himself as bait for Jack to catch Lecter, and Jack approving. I hold firmly to the belief that this is all carefully orchestrated. I think that we're seeing what Hannibal sees, and we're only allowed that point of view. Hannibal needs to see Will as the killer he's unleashed, as his counterpart, and that's what we're seeing - down to the last image of their two faces merged. Will had to drag Freddie back in - he knew that if he allowed Freddie to go, she would either blow the whole con with her big mouth, or she would end up getting killed by Lecter (who was waiting at her hotel with a plastic suit).
I've thought the same thing about it being a long con. I know that Will is broken, but I don't think he is that broken
Yeah, Will didn't kill Freddie... The meat was Randall's. This reviewer should try paying attention.
It's rather clear that Freddie is dead. Slice the ginger and longpig make it rather clear. As do interviews with Fuller.
What's clear to me is that Will wants Hannibal to *think* it's Freddie... but I don't know the interview you refer to, so I'm less certain it wasn't her than I was when I posted my previous comment. Think you could link it? Oh, forgot to mention before: I think the poll sets up a false dichotomy. Both things could be true - and very likely are at this point. I don't think he was lying about the killer's envy when he "analyzed" the crime scene. Of course, if he actually *did* kill Freddie, then all my prior notions about Will are going to have to go straight out the window.
I'm pretty certain Freddie's not dead, actually... although she may be being held against her will. (Heh... unintentional pun.) It seems Will is also an "opportunistic omnivore". It was quite a brilliant play actually... he knew very well that Hannibal would be able to tell human flesh from pork. Luckily he just happens to have a supply of the former in his freezer... Loved meeting Mason face to face, so to speak. (Oh look, another one.) A lot of the lines spoken by Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal really don't suit Mads Mikkelsen's take on the character, but some of his lines I can hear perfectly in the new version's voice. "Why don't you try peeling off your face..."
I really think Will is playing into Hannibal's world so he can bring him down.............Question remains will he be too far gone before he brings him down? I thought for sure somebody was going to end up in the bin with the pigs.........and it still probably will happen. Seems like I remember from one of the movies that Mason was in a wheelchair and ended up in the bin with the pigs.............. I don't get why Alana can't see what Hannibal is ............I think she thinks she's getting to Will somehow............ I think the relationship with Margot and Mason will come to a climatic end..............
So Margot isn't gay. That's a relief. I hate it when TV shows have gay characters on them.
Totally gay. So take your bigotry and leave =)
5% of the the human poulation is gay. Get use to it. So it's ok to have a cannibal and serial killers on a show? Well, as long as they are straight... Troll.
Will's already made a remark about Margot being a lesbian right before they have sex. Welcome to 2014!
Nope. She's gay as a tangerine. That scene was more about intimacy... and possibly about trying to produce a "legitimate male heir", and choosing to do so with a man she actually likes (in the non-romantic sense). Sorry to burst your little homophobic bubble there. ;)

Bishop Alfeev on the Resurrection
"It Is Impossible to Come to Christianity Except Through Love"
VIENNA, Austria, APRIL 8, 2007 (Zenit) - Here is a reflection on Easter written by Russian Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeev of Vienna and Austria. He is the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church of Moscow to the European Community.
He has shared this meditation with us to mark that the date of Easter is shared this year by both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
* * *
The Resurrection of Christ went by just as unnoticed as his birth, for nobody saw Christ leaving the tomb. And from the very first days after the resurrection, doubt took hold of many people, even Christ's closest disciples, even those who knew and loved him.
Thomas doubted more than the others. Having heard of the appearance of the Savior from the other disciples, he said: "Unless I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe" (John 20:19-25).
And so, the Lord appeared to them once again, with Thomas among them, and said to him: "Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."
Thomas then cried: "My Lord and my God," because the wounds in Jesus' body convinced him that he who was speaking to him was the real, risen Savior. Jesus then says something which is addressed not only to Thomas, but to all who doubt the reality of the resurrection: "Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed" (John 20:26-31).
"They that have not seen, and yet have believed" are all those who, though not witnesses of the resurrection of Christ, nevertheless believe in him because they have come to love him.
It is impossible to come to Christianity except through love for the living Christ. It is impossible to become a Christian by simply being impressed by Christ's moral teaching or out of respect for his sayings and doctrine. Only by loving Christ can one arrive at a faith that is inexpressible in words and higher than our usual earthly vision. Even though nobody has seen the resurrection of Christ with their earthly, physical eyes, the surety that "Christ is risen indeed" still abides in each one of us, Christians.
The experience of beholding the resurrection of Christ is given to us, Christians East and West, in a special way during the days of Easter, although we can sense the live presence of the risen one every Sunday and on any other day of the week.
But we must be worthy of this experience; we must become like the disciples after Christ said to them: "Receive the Holy Spirit" (John 20:22). Although they were able to see Christ earlier with their physical eyes, they did not recognize in him the incarnate God with their spiritual eyes. But having received the Holy Spirit, they could now say: "We have beheld the resurrection of Christ."
The Holy Spirit is also given to us Christians in the sacraments of the Church, especially in the communion of the Holy Mysteries. That is why each of us bears the same responsibility and the same mission that was given to the apostles -- to preach Christ to the world.
It is not by chance that in the days after Easter, the Orthodox Christians not only pray in church, but also proceed around it with the cross, Gospel, banners and the icon of Christ's resurrection. The procession with the cross is meant to show that we believe in Christ and become witnesses of his resurrection not only within the church walls, but also outside the church, where we are called to testify to the risen Christ.
The experience of Easter is given to us not only that we might enjoy communion with the risen Christ and keep his light in our hearts, but also that we might bring this light to our close ones, relatives, acquaintances, friends and enemies -- to the whole world, the very world which the Lord wishes to enlighten with his resurrection, through us.
