Terrapin Adventures never fails to live up to its name—even their swing set gets the stomach fluttering with excitement. To be fair, though, the swing in question is anything but the traditional apparatus you'd find at a city park. It seats three people and starts its trajectory 40 feet above the ground, generating 2Gs of force as it swishes riders back and forth over the landscape. The park's other attractions are equally exhilarating. On the high ropes course, visitors attached to sturdy safety harnesses cross 18 traverses situated between lofty platforms; some must be tackled via a rickety bridge, while others require leaps of faith. The 43-foot high climbing tower offers 10 routes up and down, including a head-first downward climb over the Rainbow Serpent. Otherwise, the 330-foot-long zipline sends visitors gliding through the treetops at speeds of up to 20 mph, fast enough to beat the USA track team's star squirrel.
This sort of deft dodging is required at the 5,000-square-foot arena in Owings Mills. Teams compete in one of ten missions during each game of Frontal Assault tactical laser tag, which are inspired by popular video games such as Call of Duty and Battlefield.
The snack bar at XP Laser Sport reenergizes players with Polar Shock slushies and personal pizzas. Meanwhile, windmills, loops, and carousels obstruct the path of LED mini-golf balls tumbling down the nine-hole indoor course. The facility's projection screens broadcast the latest angry faces of professional sports coaches, and two 25-foot screens let up to eight guests compete in Xbox 360 games such as Mortal Kombat.
The Adventure Park at Sandy Spring's 13 courses are color-coded by difficulty level, from yellow for beginners to double black diamonds for experts. They aren't ski trails, though—they're climbing challenges. More than 150 platforms adorn 5 acres of trees, which participants trek among by way of cable, wood, and rope bridges, as well as ziplines. A short safety briefing precedes all excursions, covering how to use the included gear and harnesses.
The park's main courses aren't the only place to test climbing skills. Over in the Monkey Grove, visitors can scale 10 trees fastened with the footholds and grips of a classic rock wall. Younger climbers, meanwhile, can explore The Labyrinth, a small, contained structure featuring more than 40 junior-sized versions of the park's other challenges. The courses illuminate on select Glow-in-the-Park evenings, when food, live music, and hoot-owl choruses await climbers upon their return to terra firma.
It's not enough for the inflatable jungle gyms at Marley Bounce Party to cushion kids' bouncing feet; they also have to tickle their imaginations. In one circular bounce house, cushy palm trees and dinosaurs whisk kiddos to the prehistoric tropics. Four turrets surround a castle-style house, where tykes can careen down one of two slides while pretending to flee from a Medieval dragon or a somewhat more intelligent Enlightenment-era dragon, all while three new bouncers keep everyone safe. In addition to its plush playgrounds, Marley Bounce Party offers two party rooms that can host up to 25 kids and their parents, as well as a baby-changing station and cold drinks and juices available for purchase.
Fright Fest's haunted attractions, song-laden revues, and 7 themed coasters play Hyde to Six Flags America's Jekyll, exorcising shrieks and hollers from attendees. Courageous patrons traverse the park's ghoul-laden grounds, surveying docked ghost ships at Skull's Revenge, passing through a cowboy-haunted Ghost Town, and cementing fears of demonic clowns and cursed cotton candy at the Carn-Evil. Creatures creep onto the stage in DJ Ghoul and The Gang's horrific hip-hop dance revue.
Drivers rev their engines across three separate raceways at The Go-Kart Track, where thrill seekers can split their time between high-speed chases and rounds of mini golf. The family-oriented entertainment center's three distinct go-kart tracks cater to drivers young and old. The junior track safeguards youngsters with an automatic braking system every time they release the gas pedal, and the family track, recently expanded and made more challenging, lets people ride shotgun in double-seater cars. Finally, the drift track?coated in a special powder?allows drivers 54 inches and taller to slip and slide around turns, drifting like their favorite racecar driver or continent. Aside from its automotive pursuits, The Go-Kart track features a mini-golf course with nine professionally designed holes peppered with obstacles such as cacti and tires.

High Risk Of Avalanches In Central North Utah
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Forecasters are warning holiday skiers and others that there's considerable to high risk of avalanches in the mountains of central and northern Utah.
The Utah Avalanche Center warn that dangerous conditions exist on many elevations and slopes that could lead to natural and human triggered slides.
Officials warn anyone in the backcountry areas should avoid slopes steeper than 30 degrees.
There's a considerable or high risk in the Uintah Mountains and ranges near Logan, Ogden, Provo, Moab, and the Salt Lake and Skyline areas.
Avalanches killed two people last weekend in separate slides in American Fork Canyon south of Salt Lake City and Sanpete County.
The Avalanche Center is a partnership between the U.S. Forest Service and other state and local agencies.

I'll assume that discussing what my experience at PAX entailed is "ok" since they didn't have us sign anything. They were having players play on a multitude of maps. I got the play in the "Maine" map (Innsmouth? something like that) and didnt' get to make a character, just used what they had at hand. The booth gm set me up and I was off. I have to admit that my playstyle is to ignore some of the beaten path and just go in a direction I want so I'm sure I missed many quests along the way. The graphics are decent but if you are into HD graphics where you can practically touch every fiber of the clothing then you might be dissapointed. The characters moved fluently and the attacks were very immediate. Meanign that if I pressed an ability it went off quickly and smoothly. It seemed you could remap your skills and I probably would as some of them seemed a bit odd. Like ~ to take out my weapon. There was some gltichiness. I don't know where they are in their beta process but the first glitch was one that I saw on another player's monitor. Was actually very funny. He ran into a room and suddenly a cut scene started. A person behind the desk was talking, and as the camera swung around the player's avatar came into view frozen in mid-air in a running stance. I had to laugh at that one. as for me, sometimes the map wouldn't close when pressing "m" and sometimes it did. At one point I couldn't run up a slight incline and thought that someone had accidentally dropped an invisible wall there. Just a glitchy area I assume. I ran into a skateboard park and found a guy there who wanted me to do something for him, again, a little cutscene. Problem was that when the cutscene stopped so did the game. I could use the keyboard controls to bring up the options but couldn't move or jump. The boothgm then tried to use her gm powers to move me but that didn't work so we had to restart. At the same time two other people lost connection so I will assume that was what caused the issue. After that I explored a bit. There were definitly dangerous areas and I had my butt handed to me a few times when these zombie things came chasing after me. I wasn't quite sure how to tell if a mob was too high for me so I made a "few mistakes" there. The atmosphere was good and the voice acting was also good. If you had problems with SWToR's quest cut scenes you might have issues with this. You didn't have a choice on where the cut scene went but it was a voiced, cut scene to deliver the quest. Not all the quests were like that and some you just chose, got a text box with a difficulty rating and you accepted or declined. I was also able to bring up a wheel of choices that "I think" had to do with your skills but I was more concerned with exploring the area. You really couldn't get into most buildings but I was able to get into a church. They also did a presentation of some game play with a really cool chimera kind of "Boss" that was huge. My thought is that if you are the type of player who likes atmosphere and story telling then the game might be for you. If you are really looking for "a sandbox" or are hate cut scenes/story then you might have issues. Oh, and the sound was pretty good, very visceral. |
Thank you for the info, very helpful. |
Originally posted by Arkain Another thing I might add, and I'm sort of on the fence about how to interpret it, is that when I panned my camera around, it was pretty smooth but on occasion the game with freeze up for a nano second as if it needed to load something. Additionally, there were a few times when I panned the camera around where I felt the computer that the game was running on wasn't quite up to snuff. Not sure how to describe it but its' as if the scene "shook" with the rendering. The camera was smooth but the passing scene was a bit "jagged" as if the computer couldn't quite render the scene smoothly. |
Thank you both, so far it sounds prity much as I exspected to be, it is FUNCOM so the instanced world is standard and it probably taxes the hell out of present day computers, as Conan did. |
Thanks for the info, both, nicely done. |
Very disappointing news about the game being heavily instanced. :( |
Originally posted by Cthulhu23 Have you played Age of Conan, the world is instanced, but it is by zone and they feel quite large. |
No open world exploration and heavily instanced makes me a sad panda but we knew that already. Im just wondering how linear the entire game truly is. I cant wait to give it a go my self none the less. |

Originally posted by Vesavius The game is full of Stephen King and Lovecraft influences: town's called Kingsmouth, it has streets like Lovecraft Lane and Arkham Avenue. Some of the monsters also look decidedly Lovecraftian, as if coming straight from the Cthulhu Mythos world. All regions seem to have a theme though: The New England/Maine region has Lovecraft and King influences, while the Egyptian region is more about the good old mummy stuff and curses and such. |

Originally posted by cutthecrap I absolutely love the themes and inspirations of this game, yet something is still failing to ignite my passion for it... Not sure what. Keeping an open (though cautious until I see the NDA dropped) mind though. Fingers crossed. |
Originally posted by Arkain I have, and I didn't care for the zones being instanced. Then again, I'm not sure there is any other way it could have been done for TSW because of the way it's set up, with different regions in the real world that don't border each other. I took the "heavily instanced" comment to be more than just instanced zones. If the instancing is confined to different zones, and not sub-zones, then I can live with that. |
Nice to have some firsthand gameplay information about the game. You may not be able to answer fully, but from a character development perspective (skills, gear, any other development systems), did it look as though it would be particularly deep and interesting to develop your character in the long term? Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned. |

Originally posted by Arkain Did you play when AoC supported a large enough playerbase that zones had multiple instances? That the only reason you won't see much instancing nowadays in AoC it lacks the playerbase to enable them. That doesn't mean it's not in the game. The way AoC world was setup was also one of my bigger gripes about the game. The world is disjointed and as such doesn't feel like a world to me. TSW is the same from what I gather. |
Originally posted by Tardcore Unfortunately, it's one of my major gripes about SWTOR. I'd prefer not to play another game that has that many instances. Being a fan of the game doesn't mean I don't have some serious issues with some aspects of it. |

Originally posted by Rohn IMO, character development is pretty interesting, you have a lot of combinasons as you can learn all the skills (magic, rifle, pistol, shortgun, blade, etc.), which means you don't need to reroll another character in order to learn another skill (classe). about gears , I don't get any for now, but I noticed that you can build custom presets to be able to switch quickly depending on situation or you combat style (close combat, magic, etc.). and you have the items of chakra to enforce your abilities such as health,attack rating, etc. these items can be found from loot or quests. |

Seven Arts Shifts focus to Larger films and improves the Balance Sheet
Ken Nagy, CFA
On February 21, 2011, Seven Arts Entertainment Inc. ( SAPX ) , the independent motion picture production and distribution company, reported results from operations for its second quarter and six months, ended December 31, 2011. While second quarter results were weak, Seven Arts reported substantial progress in reducing debt and increasing its stockholder equity. The Company's year over year revenues fell from $1.137 million for the second quarter ended December 31, 2010 down to $207,790 during the second quarter fiscal 2012. The drop in revenues was primarily due to nearly $1 million of sales on the title "Deal" during the second quarter fiscal 2011, where the majority of income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were from the film "The Pool Boys". Seven Arts' reported a net loss of $1.095 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to a net profit of $569,711 for the comparable quarter of 2010. The increase in net loss was primarily a result of negative gross margins in fiscal 2012 and a $366,488 increase in year over year operating expenses. Gross margin was negative for the three months ended December 31, 2011, due to the Company amortizing 100% of revenue achieved and writing off the cost of the theatrical release of "The Pool Boys". Based on a weighted average number of diluted common shares of 15.753 million, diluted net loss per share resulted in $0.07 loss per share during the second quarter fiscal 2012. This was a year over year drop from diluted earnings per share of $0.30 on a weighted average number of diluted shares of 1.927 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. It should be noted that the increase in weighted shares outstanding was primarily a result of the issuance of unregistered shares to Seven Arts Pictures Plc., the Company's NASDAQ listing predecessor. For the second quarter ended December 31, 2011, year over year revenues decreased to $800,331 from $1.237 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Net loss for the six months increased to a net loss of $2.078 million for the second quarter ended December 31, 2011. This compares to a net loss of $533,175 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Here again, the increase in year over year net loss was primarily a result of negative gross margins in fiscal 2012 and as well as an increase in year over year operating expenses. Based on a weighted average number of diluted shares of 15.752 million, diluted net loss per share resulted in a net loss of $0.13 per diluted share during the six months ended December 31, 2011. This compared to a net loss per diluted share of $0.12 on a weighted average number of diluted shares of 1.762 million during the six months ended December 31, 2010. Here again, the increase in weighted shares outstanding was primarily a result of the issuance of unregistered shares to Seven Arts Pictures Plc., the Company's NASDAQ listing predecessor. Still, the Company's balance sheet continued to improve. As of December 31, 2011, the Company reported $28.729 in assets, up sequentially from $27.291 million in assets during the first quarter fiscal 2012. Additionally, Seven Arts' working capital deficit improved to $7.815 million for the period ended December31, 2011, down sequentially from a working capital deficit of $8.381 million during the first quarter ended September 30, 2011. It should be noted that the large negative balances are mainly a result of film loans having to be treated as current debt. Additionally, as a result of its continued efforts to reduce indebtedness and increase net shareholder equity, Seven Arts made progress during the quarter in reducing its debt and increasing stockholder equity. The Company reduced film and production loans as well as reduced other liabilities by approximately $2 million to under $7.5 million. Production debt decreased from $15.876 million at December 31, 2010 and $10.890 million at June 30, 2011 to $6,025 million at December 31, 2011. What's more, $700,000 of existing Other Loans were paid or converted over the past twelve months. However, it should be noted that $1 million of new convertible loans were taken out for the production of "Neuromancer" and "Winter Queen" and the launch of Seven Arts' new music division. Still, the Company increased net shareholders' equity from $7.958 million as of June 30, 2011 and $14.633 million as of September 30, 2011 to its current level of $15.250 million, with an additional $1.46 million of stock authorized but not yet issued. With domestic theatrical box office sales of all films reaching $10.6 billion and worldwide box office reaching as much as $29.9 billion in 2009, many successful independent motion picture companies and major studios have been reducing the number of pictures that they finance and distribute. Consequently, these large studios and independent motion picture companies have concentrated on a limited number of higher budget films with budgets in the range of $10 million to $100 million or more. As a result, Seven Art's business model has more recently turned its primary focus to the distribution in the post-theatrical markets for lower-cost, "genre" motion pictures. The Company's strategy is to produce and distribute two to four $2 million to $15 million motion pictures in house per year. Recently, Seven Arts has completed production and is anticipating the release for the theatrical showing of Radio Free Albemuth (United States) and Men Don't Lie (United Kingdom). The Company has six motion pictures (Catwalk, Waxwork, Mortal Armor: The Legend of Galahad, Romeo Spy, The Winter Queen and Neuromancer) in development that are expected to be released within the next two to three years. Along the same lines, the Company stated that it is in ongoing negotiations for arranging the financing and casting for the upcoming production of 'Neuromancer,' which is based on William Gibson's novel and is to be directed by Vincenzo Natali. Likewise, the Company anticipates the release of 'Drunkboat' and 'Nine Miles Down' in the the Fourth Quarter fiscal 2012. Similarly, Seven Arts expect its first releases from its new record subsidiary to be in the Fourth Quarter fiscal 2012. In January the Company announced it executed a definitive agreement to acquire music industry veteran, David Michery's music assets. Upon completion of the acquisition, David Michery will be appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company's new music division, Seven Arts Music, which will comprise of Big Jake music and other stars including DMX. Last, it should be reiterated that during the past fiscal year the Company received initial funding for two films that will be produced by Dark Arts, a division of Seven Arts' affiliate, Esplanade Pictures LLC.

A couple of weeks ago, i put in top soil in my garden. Today, I had my red oak tree cut down and now my garden has a top layer of tree/stump shaving.. I would like to plant a few of my heirloom chilli plants, and couple of other random seed pods (purchased from local home depot) into the soil. This is my first time in the garden and failure means I get dissuaded to try again. Will the shavings hurt the soil? I used a rake and mixed the shavings into the soil as much as possible. If at all possible, I would like to plant this weekend. Please help... what can I do? Or have i done enough? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My guess is that your garden will do OK with the red oak shavings mixed into the topsoil. However, as the fungi multiply, feeding off the chips, they will take up some of the nitrogen from the soil, leaving less available for the green plants that you are trying to grow. This will not kill the plants, but they might not get as big and lush as you had expected. Many people are using shredded tree leaves as mulch around garden plants, successfully, and these eventually rot. Plants don't seem to mind growing near rotting wood or rotting tree leaves. |
Thank you Ericwi. What if I put in a couple of days worth of used coffee grounds and mix it with the soil? Would that help? |
- Posted by toxcrusadr 5 (My Page) on Tue, May 6, 14 at 12:21
It's generally a good idea to avoid mixing wood into soil due to the potential for nitrogen depletion. As mulch, on top of the ground, it is not in as much contact with the soil and can also draw N from the air, so the effect is not as pronounced. Coffee grounds won't hurt. You will need to watch your plants for signs of insufficient nitrogen, and fertilize if necessary. |
Thank you to all for your advice. I made the mistake of raking in the shavings with the soil prior to asking for help. But will use the used coffee grounds for the next couple of days and then plant my seedlings this weekend as planned. Hopefully they bloom and i can use fertilizer/additional coffee grounds as needed directly around my plants if they look like they need them. |

What's The Northolme Football Ground Like? | |
From the outside the ground
doesn't look up to much, but inside it is a
different story. Okay similar to a lot of clubs at
this level the Club have a small covered all seated
Main Stand that sits astride the half way line. The
Ping Stand though as it is called, does have a bit
more character then most, having a barrel shaped
roof and glass windshields to either side. There are
open areas to either side of this stand that are not
used as such for spectators, unless you want to
stand by the perimeter fence. Opposite is a small
covered terrace, which like the rest of the ground
looks tidy and well maintained. There is also a
small covered terrace at end of the ground, whilst
at the other end there is a fair sized steep open
terrace. From this area you get a good view over the
town and can see the All Saints Church, which seems
quite appropriate for a ground which is nicknamed
the 'Chapel' by the fans. The ground is complete
with a set of eight floodlight pylons, four of which
run down each side of the ground. |
(Main) Stand |
Where To Drink? | |
There is
the comfortable Blues' Club next to the ground,
which welcomes away fans. The Club has televisions
showing sport and is featured in the CAMRA Good
Beer Guide. The nearest pub is the Elm Cottage,
which is only a five minute walk away. From the
ground turn right along North Street, cross over
to the other side of the road and the pub is just
around the bend on the left. Otherwise there are
plenty of pubs in the town centre which is only
around a ten minute walk away. These include a
Wetherpoons outlet called the Sweyn Forkbeard on
Silver Street. |
Side Terrace |
How To Get There And Where To Park | |
the M18 at Junction 1 and take the A631 towards
Maltby, Bawtry and then Gainsborough. As you
reach Gainsborough you will cross over a river and at
the traffic lights that is junction with the A156,
turn left towards the town centre. Keep straight on
this road, passing a Tesco Store and then the town
centre on your left. You will reach the ground further
along on the right. There is no car park at the ground
as such, so street parking. Map showing the location of the Northolme Football Ground (at the bottom of this page). |
Looking Towards The Town End | |
By Train | |
The closest railway station is
Gainsborough Central Station which is located under
half a mile away from the ground. Although it is
served by trains from Sheffield these are rather
infrequent. You are far more likely to end up
instead at Gainsborough Lea Road Station, which has
more services running to it from Sheffield,
Doncaster and Lincoln. However this further away
from the ground being just over a mile away. It is
though a fairly straightforward walking route: As you come out of the station
entrance turn left and proceed along the main road
passing a Ford Garage. On reaching a roundabout take
the third exit onto Ashcroft Road towards the town
centre. Proceed straight along this road (A159) for
around one mile, passing Marshall's Yard on your
right and you will reach the ground further along
also on the right. Remember if travelling by
train then you can save on the cost of
fares by
in advance. Visit the the trainline
website to see how much you can normally save.

Gay Men: Top 10 Dating Tips
By Rick Clemons
9. Stop comparing. Check out the merchandise, evaluate the functionality, weigh the benefits, but for crying out loud, stop comparing yourself to everyone around you! The more you look to others to validate your existence, your value and your self-worth, the deeper the hole gets for you to lay in and have sand kicked in your face. Just because "Bryce" dates like a mad man doesn't mean he's more datable than you. Find your stride, your way, your place and snuggle in. That cozy warm space of dating your way will find you.
10. Trust yourself to be yourself. You've heard it before: Trust is the basis of everything. But honey, practice makes perfect, and it starts with you. As gay men, one of the hardest obstacles we face is trusting that we're okay because we're gay. The more you dial in, trust yourself and stop second-guessing, the more you'll be able to see the decisions you're making in your gay dating life are exactly as they should be. But baby, you gotta trust yourself because their ain't no one else that's gonna do it for ya.
Whether it's a first date, casual dating or dating to mate, gay guys face the same challenges as everyone else. The only difference is they do it with class, sass and still get a piece of ass when it's done right!

Two New Albany men are behind bars and face numerous burglary charges following their arrests Monday afternoon.
Joseph P. Urbano, 25, of the 800 block of Catherine Place, faces four counts of theft while Charles A. Barbour, 22, of the 500 block of Vincennes Street, is preliminarily charged with five counts of theft and one count of reckless possession of a syringe.
Floyd County Sheriff Darrell Mills said his officers took numerous car break-in reports early Saturday morning in the Greenville area. He said 21 cars were broken into over a two-week period in Floyd, Harrison and Washington counties, and said Urbano and Barbour were involved in those break-ins.
"A tri-county theft ring over the last few days has hopefully come to a stop," Mills said during a press conference Tuesday.
One of the victims called police after she noticed her stolen debit card had been used at Walmart in New Albany. Walmart surveillance video and stills not only identified Urbano and Barbour, but also the car they were driving.
Floyd County Police Chief Ted Heavrin and Maj. Jeff Topping located the car on Charlestown Road on Monday afternoon and along with Lt. Frank Loop, initiated a traffic stop in an alley in the rear of Catherine Place where the two were apprehended.
Topping said items recovered included two laptops, iPads, iPhones, three pistols and other items, including debit cards, totaling "several thousands of dollars." Mills said the burglaries occurred to support a heroin addiction. He said the pistols were sold to known heroin dealers, and the department hopes to recover those soon. He said the laptops were located at two local pawn shops.
"They have been very cooperative," Mills said of the two defendants. "This case is still under investigation."
All of the items were taken from unlocked vehicles. Mills said some of the vehicles were parked in garages, but the garage doors were open. He said it is "very important" to always lock vehicles and garages.
"It seems like lately all of the thefts come back to heroin in some ways," Mills said.
The two men are in the Floyd County Jail.

is now increasing in use in the United States. In radiography, the inconvenience of imposing radiation protection procedures at job sites and the inherent limitations of radiography have driven practitioners to shift to other techniques for nondestructive inspection, such as phased-array ultrasound. In well logging, there are barriers to switching away from americium-beryllium sources, but the difficulties, costs, and exposures associated with these sources give the industry cause to look for better practices. It is clear to the committee that the large contract irradiator companies do not yet see strong incentives to shift from gamma irradiation to x-ray irradiation, and so this may be another area where additional encouragement is needed. Again, however, the committee's discussion focuses on radioactive cesium chloride.
Finally, mention of a policy option in this chapter does not constitute an endorsement of that option. Indeed, some are mentioned to highlight their undesirable qualities and consequences.
Table 10-1 summarizes four classes of generic policies: prohibitions, push incentives, pull incentives, and supply incentives. For each of these classes, several possible generic policies and their major advantages and disadvantages are shown.
Prohibitions are the most direct way to eliminate radionuclide use. They force either replacement or abandonment of use. Rescinding already-issued licenses would be extremely costly in some cases, in light of investments made by users in anticipation of the continuation of the licenses, and would require compelling arguments to support the action. Even when narrowly applied, prohibitions are very blunt in removing both uses for which replacements are readily available as well as those for which particular circumstances make replacement infeasible or extremely costly. Because of these disadvantages, rescinding already-issued licenses is likely to be neither feasible nor desirable. Some observers may argue that if the U.S. NRC determines that a set of radiation sources pose substantial risks, then it should impose a swift, categorical prohibition. Few situations, however, offer clearly unacceptable risks.2
Prohibitions on new licenses (i.e., no sales or import of sources) offer more promise. Although they leave the existing stocks of radionuclide sources in place, they effectively cap the total number so that over time there will be a decline as the sources decay and units are retired. The determination of which uses to no longer license requires confidence in the existence of commercially viable replacement technologies. Even if replacements are commercially viable in general, there may be specific applications for which replacement is commercially infeasible. Therefore, prohibitions on new licenses would have to be carefully targeted to avoid losing benefits of radionuclide use that cannot actually be replaced with current technology.
Push incentives seek to make replacement technologies relatively more attractive to potential adopters by internalizing more of the external costs (TRC + OSC) of use of radionuclides, as discussed in Chapters 1 and 3.
One way to accomplish this is to impose more stringent requirements on users. The most desirable requirements would reduce the risks associated with use. For example, additional requirements to ensure physical security or the quick discovery of diversions would both reduce the risks and increase the costs of radionuclide use. The increased costs would make replacement technologies relatively more attractive. Developing effective regulations,

Size Activity
Size Activity: Play Categories to practice identifying the sizes tall, short, big and small.
This game can be played with a partner or in small groups. Each player receives a categories board. Cut out and shuffle the picture cards. Print off multiple sets of pictures if playing with a larger number of tables. Players take turns selecting a card from the pile. Players must decide which category the picture belongs to and place it on the board. Is it tall, short, big or small? If a picture does not fit into any of the player's available categories, their turn is skipped and the card is returned to the bottom of the pile. The first player to fill up their board is the winner.
After game play, players can sort the pictures onto category sorting mats and complete a worksheet.

Islam in Oman
The majority of Omanis are Ibadi Muslims, followers of Abd Allah ibn Ibad. This next biggest group are Sunni Muslims. The Shi'a minority live along Al Batinah and Muscat coasts. This minority includes the Al-Lawatis, the Bahranis of Bahraini descent, and the Ajam, who are of unclear origins but whose putative point of origin is Iran.
Islam spread to Oman early. The Ibadite denomination established itself in the region after fleeing from Basra in modern-day Iraq.[1][2]
Christians and Jews have historically been able to practice their own religions openly in Oman. The society is tolerant, though social hierarchies do exist. In Ibadi communities, the traditional Arab coffee is served to Muslims first, with Christians being served after the poor Muslims; in Sunni communities, Christian guests may actually be served even before the respected Muslim leaders and clerics.[1]
Many people[who?] believe that Ibadism is an outgrowth of the Kharijites movement, a variant form of Islam practiced by descendants of a sect that seceded from the principal Muslim body after the death of Muhammad in 632. Ibadies, however, deny this notion considering themselves an outgrowth [lead by?] the follower (tabe'e) Jābir ibn Zayd. Ibadies reject primogeniture succession of the Quraysh, the tribe of Muhammad, and assert that leadership of Islam, the caliphate, should be designated by an imam elected by the community from candidates who possess spiritual and personal qualities. Ibadhi leadership is vested in an imam, who is regarded as the sole legitimate leader and combines religious and political authority. The imam is elected by a council of prominent laymen or shaykhs. Adherence to Ibadism accounts in part for Oman's historical isolation. Ibadis were not inclined to integrate with their neighbours, as the majority of Sunni Muslims regard Ibadism as a heretical form of Islam.
The austere, puritanical nature of Ibadism has affected the practice of Islam in the country. Omani mosques are very simple, with almost no decoration expect around the windows and often lack the minarets common in other Muslim countries.[1][3] Moroccan explorer Ibn Battuta described the cleanliness of Omani mosques, despite the fact that the entire community would congregate to eat inside, each person bringing their own food.[3] The denomination frowns upon singing and dancing.[1][3] Sharia law is strictly enforced in public and private, and Oman's adherence to conservative Ibadism led to its historical isolation from the rest of the Middle East.[3]
In the 1800s, the Banu Bu Ali tribe of Jalan converted to Wahhabism, an austere form of Sunnism. They sporadically fought Ibadi communities but otherwise did not affect the overall religious demographics of Oman.[3]
