Quilling - Turning Paper Strips into Intricate Artworks. Quilling has been around for hundreds of years, but it's still as impressive and popular now as it was during the Renaissance.
The art of quilling first became popular during the Renaissance, when nuns and monks would use it to roll gold-gilded paper and decorate religious objects, as an alternative to the expensive gold filigree. Later, during the 18th and 19th centuries, it became a favorite pass-time of English ladies who created wonderful decorations for their furniture and candles, through quilling. Warehouse stalking.

Their website knowingly notes that "It is uncommon for engineers to find good domestic applications for their technology... and it is likewise rare for designers of consumer objects to embrace cutting-edge technology wholeheartedly. " Which, of course, is "perhaps what makes the cross-pollination of ideas between Angela Jansen and Ger Jansen so remarkable. " The Light Light series creates an incredible visual conversation piece.

Nissan Townpod Concept at 2010 Paris Motor Show
- Looks like: Nissan Leaf meets Chevy HHR
- Defining characteristics: Hideaway second-row seats
- Ridiculous features: Movable "pucks" to hold accessories
- Chance of being mass-produced: It's possible we'll see some wild electrics in the future
Nissan calls the Townpod a vehicle for entrepreneurs. We're not sure how an all-electric compact van will get anyone angel funding, but there's a lot of interesting stuff inside this little guy whether you're a self-starter or a retiree.
What we like most about the Townpod are the little ideas Nissan has added. Little balls, which Nissan calls Pucks, can be placed anywhere around the cabin including in the doors and on the dash. They work with a variety of accessories to hold drinks, smartphones and even objects like a corner desk for the passenger.
Nissan doesn't emphasize the Townpod as a workspace, however.
The Townpod's other features include a second-row bench seat that slides all the way up to the front seats. By fitting tightly against the front seats, there is a maximum amount of rear cargo room allowed without having to remove the second row entirely.
There's also a hole in the roof that opens so odd-size cargo like the gigantic blueprint tubes shown in the press images could fit in the vehicle. Theoretically, this hole also could come in handy with building materials, rugs or sports equipment, however, it certainly wouldn't do well at high speeds in terms of aerodynamics.
Check out more photos of the wild little runabout below.

A year later, the house is sold to George (Ryan Reynolds) and Kathy Lutz (Melissa George) for a cheap price. They ask why so cheap, and they were told that the DeFeo family was murdered in the house. George tells his wife that houses don't kill, people do. So they move in with their three children and start a new life. Unfortunately, their dream house becomes a nightmare. George begins to hear voices and the process starts all over again. The longer they are in the house, the worse it gets, and everything comes to a climax on the 28th day.

Advice letter to Post Graduate Certificate Garden History and MA Garden History applicants
Direct Line: 020 8331 9220
Fax No: 020 8331 9105 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com |
Dear Applicant.
Post Graduate Certificate Garden History and MA Garden History
Thank you very much for your expression of interest. Insofar as possible we deal with all applications on the basis of personal interview.
The PG Certificate Garden History can be done as a 1-year Distance Learning programme or as an autumn term attendance mode full-time programme. The courses which comprise the Certificate are also part of the MA Garden History which can be done in one year full time or two years part time (September to September) . The garden history programmes are for students from various disciplines who wish to develop an understanding and interest in gardens with a view to developing curatorial and conservation skills in Historic Gardens. In both full-time and part-time modes the final three months (July to September) is by flexible learning (you are completing the equivalent of a dissertation and there is no regular attendance, so you could work full-time). The Certificate (which may be viewed as introductory or as a taster ) consists of two 30 credit courses: one which is a general introduction to Garden History in a global sense (History and Philosophy of Garden Design) and one which is an introduction to Landscape and Garden Design Theory.
Garden History is a fairly new and developing area and applied garden history is a growing specialism (promoted particularly in the UK founding of the Garden History Society in 1966 and by the Town and Country Amenities Act of 1974 –which introduced listing of historic gardens and parks).
I recommend you read at this stage:
- Sir Geoffrey, Jellicoe, Landscape of Man. Thames and Hudson: 1995
And (though we apologize for referring you to staff publications)
- Tom Turner, European Gardens: History, philosophy and design. London:Routledge 2010 ISBN: 978-0-415-49684-1
- Tom Turner, Asian gardens 3000 BCE to 2000 CE. London:Routledge 2010 ISBN: 978-0-415-49687-2
Further guidance is on http://www.gardenvisit.com/history_theory
A good overview can be had from a browse of the garden and landscape history shelves of the RIBA Library (Royal Institute of British Architects) 66 Portland Place, London W1B 1AD and the Royal Horticultural Association Vincent Square, London SW1 (both are open to the public and as significant have open access shelves. You will of course be expected to join the British Library when you begin the programmes and membership of the Garden History Society is recommended.
It is worth reading Garden History the GHS journal and Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes.
Within the enclosed handbook (when sending these letters by post), there is a chart showing all the courses in our postgraduate landscape portfolio which include the courses (aka units or modules). If you are receiving this letter by email, you can download the Landscape Graduate and Postgraduate Portfolio from here:
You also need to explore gardens and landscapes, a good guide is Hudson's Historic Houses & Gardens, Castles & Heritage Sites http://www.hudsonsguide.co.uk/home.html
The Garden Museum by Lambeth Palace is also worth a visit and its exhibitions are of a high quality
Abroad I recommend the website of the Monuments Historique in France (La Caisse Nationale des Monuments Historiques et des Sites ) on the Paris field trip we visit the Hotel du Sully bookshop which is strongly recommended ref. http://www.paris.org/Monuments/caisse.html
and the UNESCO World Heritage website http://whc.unesco.org/
and the 1962 UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Safeguarding of Beauty and Character of Landscapes and Sites, ref.
the IFLA section www.iflaclc.org website
Term dates 2011-12
Monday 19 September transition week begins, part timers
w/c Monday 26 September start of term 1
mid November 2011 Thursday to Monday Paris field trip (optional)
Friday 16 December 2011 teaching ends (nb there is no half term breaks)

Avery Hill Access
Teaching is largely based at the School of Architecture and Construction, Avery Hill, Eltham. A map is on www.streetmap.co.uk/ and check the postcode SE1 2PQ. Note the nearest railway station is Falconwood which is 15 minutes walk, there are free shuttle minibuses from Falconwood to Avery Hill from 7.35 to 9.50 at 15 minute intervals. There are also public bus and minicab services from Eltham station to the campus in case it is raining (about £5 by minicab). Note the University is planning a new School of Architecture and Construction building in Greenwich but the earliest that is due to open is the 2013-14 academic year.
Field Trips and International Workshop
Self drive visit to Rousham and Stowe Saturday early October 2011: this is a day trip to two key eighteenth century landscape gardens
Thursday evening 19 to Monday 22 November: There will be a Paris field trip 19-22 November aimed at PG Certificate Landscape Design students, this is also open to Certificate and MA Garden Design students if you have not been before.
Thursday to Monday mid November 2011,: Field Trip to Paris
This field trip is for all first year Certificate LD and Garden History student. We will stay in a hotel in central Paris and visit a new park and gardens (e.g. the Arsenale exhibition of Paris urbanism, La Villette, Bassin Stalingrad, Parc de Bercy, Bibliotheque Nationale, Musée du Quai Branly, the Viaduc Plantée, parks in social housing. etc.). This visit is important to form a common frame of reference of contemporary public landscape architecture and urban design.
It is led by Robert Holden and Jamie Liversedge and the aim is to relate the tours to their construction and horticulture teaching (we walk along extolling the delights of mastic asphalt relative to granite paving, and the merits of monospecific block planting and Parisian polychromatic brickwork and inventive bonds from the 1930s) . For garden history students this will form an introduction to some of the profession al terminology used in the construction industry and by landscape professionals.
We will depart Thursday evening, c.6.30pm from St Pancras check-in and arrive back London Monday evening. I will advise on 15 September of the dates and need to know whether you are able to go on this by end of September so I can make final bookings on the basis of cheques or other payment made out for the travel. Costs to be paid to the university will be £120 for rail travel, insurance and contribution to staff costs. Once a booking is made it is not possible to cancel or obtain a refund.
The Arts and Humanities Research Council also offers five awards for taught Professional Preparation Masters courses in crafts (we arguably count in that category) nationally, Information is on
However, you should contact me well before December if interested In these Masters awards
However, note that the government is likely to be in the process of changing its post graduate funding policy (we await the Browne committee report). Note too that for Home students government policy in respect of support for higher education is also changing, and this affects some second degree programmes ("awards equivalent to or lower than that already held (ELQs)"), this university's statement on this is on:
and this states that :
"Some qualifications are exempt from the new policy, these include:
- Foundation degrees
- Courses leading to registration as an architect or landscape architect"
My advice is print this out and hold it on record and present it when asked for a fee account. The Higher Education Funding Council's advice on this is on http://www.hefce.ac.uk/FAQ/elq.htm I suspect that the University's policy is because of an indication that landscape architecture is a"strategically important and vulnerable subject (SIVS)", however, government policy appears to change on this matter. I can find no clear advice from the Department of Business, INofrmation and Skills website, I'm afraid, but it does appear this policy only affects those resident in England. Note I mention landscape architecture because the Landscape Institute has a academic membership and the programme can be used to apply for academic membership of the Landscape Institute.
Other advice:
Do register for EdinaDigimap once you have received an Athens number on registration (http://edina.ac.uk/digimap ). It gives free on-line access to Ordnance Survey maps including historical maps. Do check the library website for Architecture and Landscape
We advise you use London libraries, for instance, the LI library
the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)
and the Royal Horticlutural Society's libraries especially the Lindley Library in Vincent Square, SW1.
and we advise you become a member of the British Library www.bl.uk/ including use of their map library.
This is a standard letter, however, should you have particular queries at this stage do contact me: my email is firstname.lastname@example.com and you can telephone via the School Office on 0208 331 9100.
If you can advise of your address we will send this letter by post and attach further information as below.
Yours sincerely
Robert Holden

Rousham and its landscape garden are a place of pilgrimage for students of the work of William Kent (1685-1748). Rousham represents the first phase of English landscape garden design and remains almost as Kent left it, one of the few gardens of this date to have escaped alteration, with many features which delighted eighteenth century visitors to Rousham still in situ, such as the ponds and cascades in Venus' Vale, the Cold Bath, and seven arched Praeneste, Townsend's Building, the Temple of the Mill, and, on the skyline, a sham ruin known as the 'Eyecatcher'.
The house, built in 1635 by Sir Robert Dormer, is still in the ownership of the same family. Kent added the wings and the stable block. The south front is almost as Kent left it, but for the replacement of the octagonal glazing with plain glass. This was carried out by the architect St. Aubyn when he added the north side of the house in 1876.

Stowe Gardens owned by the National Trust are just west of Buckingham.
Stowe was created in the 18th century as an idealised version of nature with over forty monuments and temples set against a backdrop of glorious open spaces, wooded valleys and ornamental lakes. Given to the National Trust in 1989 the gardens have been undergoing an ambitious restoration programme that is now two thirds underway. At its centre is Stowe House currently also being conserved and the gardens are being replanted in one of the largest historic garden conservation programmes in the country.
It is the most celebrated English landscape garden of the eighteenth century and like a palimpsest with layers of design overlain. Bridgeman's formality was succeeded by the rococo landscape gardening of William Kent and later the picturesque style of Lancelot Brown and Lord Cobham, one on top of the other just as medieval manuscript parchments were written upon, scraped off and written over (usually in the other direction).
Together the trip to both gardens forms an ideal introduction to the eighteenth century landscape garden which is a key to an understanding of English landscape architecture and garden design. and is a complement to the tour of Painshill undertaken in Landscape and Garden Design Precedents.

These visits are aimed to amplify the Hard and Soft Landscape lectures and also the Planting Design course. We are enthusiasts for mastic asphalt, coordinated paving, 1930s French brickwork and polychromatic bricks and faience, and flexible paving: we are not so enthusiastic for monospecific block planting, top grafting and unthinking use of heavy clay topsoil on newly constructed sites. We are keen on the way the French do invest in public infrastructure including parks, gardens, and new tramways and the Vélib cycle hire system.

voltvolt [for Alessandro Volta], abbr. V, unit of electric potential and electromotive force. It is defined as the difference of electric potential existing across the ends of a conductor carrying a constant current of 1 ampere when the power dissipated is 1 watt. The kilovolt (1,000 V), the millivolt (0.001 V), and the microvolt (0.000001 V) are units derived from the volt. See voltmeter. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.

No. A Christian is already possessed by Jesus. This point of confusion/contention, however, has theologically paralyzed the church. Demon "possession" is a confusing and misleading term. Certain translations of the Bible refer to a person being "possessed by a demon," but the word referring to possession is not present. The Greek words used, daimonizomai ("to be under the influence of a demon") or echein daimonion, ("to have a demon") may be better translated as being "demonized." Possession implies ownership, and demons own nothing. The New Testament views demons as squatters or invaders of territory that does not belong to them. A burglar can trash my home but that doesn't make it his. Demonization is defined as being under the influence of one or more demonic spirits. This continuum of influence can range from mild to serious, even life-threatening. The Bible tells believers to stop giving a place to the Devil in Ephesians 4:27, suggesting at least a minimal association with a demonic spirit. Acts 5 says that Satan "so filled" Ananias and Sapphira, two members of the early church, that they lied to the Holy Spirit, an involvement major enough that God struck them dead (a particularly effective, but not recommended form of deliverance). So Christians may not be "possessed," since they belong to Christ, but they can certainly be demonized, or "under the influence" of demons. For such situations, deliverance is the biblical remedy. —David W.

Jer 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. After salvation comes the work of renewing the mind and subjecting the body. This is what most people confuse with demonisation. It is the responsibility of the individual and a daily process. This is why there is the gift of righteousness as we strive against sin, carrying our cross daily as Jesus commands. Gerry Bjorlo September 12, 2013
We live in an age when neuroscience and psychology have taught us so much about our rational mind. It is shocking to me that an article like this which seriously considers the existence of superhuman beings which are not gods, would even appear in this publication. Vincent C September 12, 2013
Short but helpful article that (hopefully) dissolves all the confusion. A helpful and easy to remember comparison I learned a while back is that a Christian cannot be possessed but can be OPPRESSed (i.e., harassed, disturbed, etc.) by the devil. The bottom-line issue is: whose servant and follower are you? If Christ is one's Lord then the Holy Spirit dwells in that person - forever (Eph. 1:13)! Then this person will always be under the protection of God and no other force, evil or whatsoever, can take him/her as a possession (1 John 4:4 and Rom. 8:9, 38-39).

Best Among Foam Insulation Companies Serving CT & NY
Your home represents your personal space and a significant investment.
The value of your home can be protected and enhanced by making it energy efficient with home insulation.
Many homes in the United States are not well-insulated, resulting in higher energy bills and lower comfort levels. The U.S. Department of Energy's number one recommendation to help consumers reduce their energy bills is to add insulation to their homes. Insulation works by providing a continuous thermal boundary within the "building envelope" between the conditioned indoor spaces and unconditioned spaces.
Good Life Energy Savers offers you the most effective retrofit insulation solutions on the market today, providing you with added comfort, savings, and energy efficiency. As whole house insulators we use spray foam insulation, injection foam, blown in and dense packed fiberglass and cellulose in attics, walls, basements and crawl spaces. We have all of your home insulation solutions.

Hi All, I am not sure where this question came from in my brain. But it is a valid question, do you think there will ever be a 3rd World War, or do you think it is even possible. I look forward to your thoughts! Chisum PS, World Peace is all we should ever contemplate. |
This is only a thought. I feel like once our recourses become even more scarce, and our Eco system becomes weaker as we over populate. We all realize only the richest of countries have full access practically to the worlds recourses. That's like 20% of the worlds population uses up 80% of the worlds resources. So I image once things become crazy and the demands don't play out, we might see a war, who knows?! answered Aug 25 '10 at 16:41 602kid |
"Anything is possible, you just gotta believe in yourself!" - Barney" <-Thats Funny But, what you are saying is possible and somewhat likely. answered Aug 24 '10 at 23:30 Superpc Sonicimac |
Of course its possible. It can happen at any time. People pick sides, treaty, then declare war on other nations. Those nations gather allies and before you know it the world is against each other. Nothing is impossible. answered Aug 24 '10 at 23:27 Yuma |
Because there is no limit to human stupidity, a 3rd world war will eventually happen. answered Aug 25 '10 at 01:09 Razor512 |
It will happen. I hope that I am dead or in a deep coma when it happens. When the nuclear war starts I do not want to know about it. It will be "Mutually assured destruction". answered Aug 25 '10 at 02:43 Snookybear |
I think inevitable is a better choice of word than possible unfortunately. Hopefully not in my life time. answered Nov 16 '10 at 19:08 paddyt007 |
Everything is possible. But this goes beyond being possible, one would almost describe it as innevitable. I will happen. The only question that remains is when? Thats what you should be asking, when will this occur, not if it's possible. Ya feel me? I agree, peace is the only thing that should be considered. Unfortunately, we are part of a primitive, hateful species that likes to kill. answered Aug 24 '10 at 23:32 Phoenix7 unfortunately, I have to agree with you, also, Well said.

Multiple Civil Wars across the United States of America is more likely to happen -vs- World War III answered Aug 25 '10 at 00:18 r0bErT4u 2
Who are the remaining super powers?, very good question. In no peticular order,
These, as you know, are all part of the "Nuclear Club". In my book that makes you a Super Power.

First of all ... I apologize for suspecting you could be one of the JFxxx brothers reincarnated. Their cr@zY outbursts made me very paranoid, and I'm waiting to LOGIC BOMB them {scratch that --- hacking is against the law & bad}. You forgot to add the United Kingdom (UK), allie to U.S.A. The unlikely World War III scenario would be over quickly --- Bombs of Hiroshima & Nagasaki updated to current U.S.A. Military Weapons Technology -- The opposing enemies wouldn't stand a chance.

Its hard to see someone attack your good name, even if it is an online name, but I am willing to forgive an forgot, if you promiss to check out every q. i have. You don't have to comment but keep an open mind. The UK do not have the capabilities to launch an attack on any major power with out back up. they are the puppets and anybody with big pockets is the master. I would like to say Your right I cant spell, I left full time education at 15 years old to work 24/7. I nearly made my first million by the time i was 22, and lost it all at 23, but i am on track again. Not bad for a guy who cant spell.

In a phone interview with TheStreet, Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman said that "2012 was the year Facebook became a mobile company. Mobile provides a huge opportunity for Facebook, and we're working to make sure our ad products work well on mobile."
Mobile revenue represented 23% of advertising sales in the fourth quarter, up from 14% in the third quarter. Total advertising revenue was $1.585 billion.
While mobile continues to become a bigger part of the company, "it's still very early in mobile," Ebersman said. "It's still early in bringing products to market, and we want to make sure our ad products work well."
For the first time, the rapidly growing company experienced mobile daily active users (DAU) surpass web DAUs. "This is exactly what we expect," Ebersman, 42, said. "The rapid growth of MAU provides greater utility." Costs and expenses rose sharply, jumping 82% to $1.06 billion, but the former Genentech CFO isn't worried.

iSync plugins
Full user review
"Works as advertised"
Allows iSync to work with the Samsung Rugby II
Can't think of any cons
A couple weeks ago I bought a Samsung Rugby II phone and downloaded this plugin. However, it only supported the original Rugby. I contacted support and was given a full refund. A few days later their developer sent a newer version to test and it worked great. Now iSync identifies my camera and I can import all contacts with ease. Now that is good customer service.

the item received had a different presentation than the picture shown; instead of a bag holding everything together, we got a basket instead; the two mugs that came were a teal blue instead of the dark blue; one of the chocolate boxes in the very front were bent due to shipping. Overall, looks ok, but would really like to get what I see instead and not be surprised with something different.

EFF and its friends are making amazing progress at the World Intellectual Property Organization: we've got dozens of non-governmental organizations in the pipe to attend the meetings in Geneva, and it's clear that the rightsholders are scared. At the last meeting we attended, our documents were stolen and dropped in the trash in the toilets. Now, with a meeting coming up to discuss the "Development Agenda" -- a catch-all term for WIPO initiatives that make new copyright and patent rules that try to help developing countries, rather than exploit them -- the International Bureau is cooking the process. They've decided to exclude "ad-hoc observers" (the category that nearly all of the copyright reform groups fall under) in favor of "permanent observers" (a category dominated by motion picture studios, broadcasters and other gigantic rightsholder interests). Check it out:
Right-owners are now in FULL MOBILIZATION on the WIPO development agenda. The only thing I have seen like this are the campaigns relating to the 1998-1999 WHO resolution on trade and public health and the 2001 WTO Doha Declaration on TRIPS and Public Health. Like then, the right-owners effort is closely coordinated behind the scenes, with enormous cooperation and pressure from the US and other developed counties. The US has formed an inter-agency task force to attack the DA. It would be good to have some details on the EC organization on this. I assume the worst, but there is a new Commission, so we need to check. Note that the US, the EC and European governments will put huge pressure on developing country governments to abandon/isolate Brazil or India on this, which is exactly what happened on the WTO negotiations over paragraph 6 of the Doha Declaration, and which was a disaster.Ten year ago, WIPO nearly killed the net with its destructive "Internet Treaties." These treaties are the reason that Dmitry went to jail, that 2600 magazine was censored, and that Verizon got thousands of bogus subpoenas demanding that it turn over customer info. These treaties are why the Church of Scientology and Diebold are able to censor their critics by calling them infringers. They're why WIPO has the same relation to bad copyright that Mordor has to evil.It appears as though the WIPO secretariat is entirely committed to defending corporate right-owners and entirely trying to undermine consumer interests. I would love to be wrong about this, but one has to face the evidence we have seen so far, including for example the recent USPTO and Casablanca meetings, and the rejection of applications for ad hoc observer status to groups like ICSTD and others, and the lack of a real dialogue with civil society NGOs.
Now that we're on the verge of reversing some of that harm with a rational treaty that treats the Internet like a solution, not a problem, they're pulling out all the dirtiest tricks they can think of. If I were you, I'd be mad as hell. I know I am. Link (via Copyfight)

Fischer La Belle StrasbourgeoiseOct 4, 2001
Popular Products in Magazine Subscriptions
The Bottom Line A European lager that is lightly hopped to create a light, easy to drink beer with less bitterness.
Fischer Labelle is the signature beer of the Fischer Biere d'Alsace brewing company, an Alsacian brewer that uses traditionl German brewing techniques to craft beers in a French style. That sounds confusing, I know. Fischer (also know as P�cheur in France) is located in Schiltighem, France (near Strasbourg). The Alsace region in France was an area fought over for centuries. At one time, it belonged to Germany. After the French forces were defeated in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, this region in the Northeast of France (approx. 5,600 sq. miles) was ceded to the country of Germany at the Treaty of Frankfurt. After Germany's surrender in World War I, the land was returned to France by the Treaty of Versailles (1919). Fischer was founded in 1821, so the brewery experienced a history of being in France, then Germany, and then France again. Today, Fischer is owned by the Dutch brewing giant, Heineken. In today's beer world, a brewer's past is becoming increasing less relevant as large brewers globalize their operations. La Belle Strasbourgeoise -------------------------------------------------- In France, there are no beer purity laws like there are in Germany, and, therefore, French brewers are permitted to use adjuncts in there beer. Also, traditionally, French brewers use less hops and mature their beers for a shorter period of time than German brewers. This green-bottled, bottom-fermented lager from France has been brewed since 1821 (180 years!). It pours with a deep gold color, moderate amounts of carbonation, and produces a large, foamy white-colored head. This is a fairly smooth, lightly hopped beer that would be fine to serve with most any kind of sandwich or light meal. I'd call it a fine lunch beer -- but beyond that, there is not much to say in its favor. All in all, a pretty average lager that finishes with an almost soapy flavor. Not a favorite beer of mine, but it was interesting to try. Price and Availability -------------------------------------------------- Price: $2.95 for a 650 ml bottle (22 ounces). I purchased this beer at a small wine and beer store -- The Grape Press -- in Anaheim Hills, California. Imported by Fischer Beverages International of Waltham, Massachusetts. Also available at the Wine Warehouse in Los Angeles. For other U.S. distributors, visit the Fischer website: �� http://www.fischerbeverages.com/distributors/california.html Recommendations -------------------------------------------------- While I can admit that this beer has more character than Budweiser, Miller or Coors, there really is nothing exceptional about it that would warrant a strong recommendation. Personally, I prefer the Fischer Bitter, a 6.5% alcohol by volume lager that has more hop flavor. Rating: 2� stars. |

Data Management Plans
What is a Data Management Plan?
Beginning January 18, 2011, researchers applying for NSF grants must submit a supplementary Data Management Plan (DMP) of no more than two pages with their grant applications. The Data Management Plan should outline how data will be gathered, preserved, and shared, in accordance with NSF policies.
What is NSF data sharing policy?
The National Science Foundation stipulates that "investigators are expected to share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data, samples, physical collections, and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of the work under NSF grants."
What should the Data Management Plan include?
The NSF lays out the requirements for the DMP in their Grant Proposal Guide. The DMP should include information explaining:
- The types of data, samples, physical collections, software, curriculum materials, and other materials to be produced in the course of the project.
- The standards to be used for data and metadata format and content.
- Policies for access and sharing, including provisions for appropriate protection of privacy, confidentiality, security, intellectual property, and other rights or requirements.
- Policies and provisions for re-use, re-distribution, and the production of derivatives.
- Plans for archiving data, samples, and other research products, and for preservation of and access to them.
Some Directorates, Offices, Divisions, and Programs have specific requirements beyond those outlined above. Please check the NSF website to find out whether your grant proposal will require additional components.
Some questions to consider
- What types of data will be produced? How much data, and how often will it be changed or updated? Will versions need to be tracked?
- What identifiers will be used for the data? What file formats will be produced, and will special software or tools be required to create or view the data? What metadata standards will be used to organize the data?
- Who is responsible for managing and controlling the data? Who owns the data? If private and confidential data is being collected, what provisions are in place to protect that information?
- Where will the data be stored? How secure is the data, and what back up procedures exist?
- For whom is the data intended? How long must it be retained?
- How will you make the necessary data publicly accessible? How do you intend to publish or distribute the data?
What resources are available to help write a Data Management Plan, and to make data publicly available?
If you are not sure how to answer some of the above questions, Dalia Corkrum (509-527-5193), College Librarian, is available to discuss data management.
The Whitman Institutional Repository is available for deposit of some types of digital research data. The IR can help you make data publicly accessible, and help fulfill requirements for long-term preservation and storage.
If you are planning to submit an NSF grant, please contact Rachna Sinnott (509-527-5990) in the Office of Foundation & Corporate Relations at least one month before the due date. She can provide guidance in following College procedures for submitting external grants. In addition, please contact Tana Park, Sponsored Programs Coordinator (509-527-5926), for assitance in submitting your grant via the NSF Fastlane system. While helping you prepare your grant for submission, both Rachna and Tana can direct you to the appropriate resouces for following all requirements for grant compliance, including the Data Management Plan.

Rwanda genocide: UN ashamed, says Ban Ki-moon
The UN is still ashamed over its failure to prevent the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, UN chief Ban Ki-moon has said.
He was addressing thousands of people in the capital, Kigali, as Rwanda began a week of official mourning to mark the 20th anniversary of the genocide.
Many people were overcome by emotion during the ceremony, with some suffering fits.
At least 800,000 people - mostly ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus - died at the hands of Hutu extremists.
The killings ended ended in July 1994 when the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), a Tutsi-led rebel movement, marched into Kigali and seized control of the country.
Rwanda's President Paul Kagame and Mr Ban lit a torch which will burn for 100 days - the length of time the genocide lasted.
A diplomatic row has prompted Rwanda to bar France's ambassador, Michel Flesch, from attending the event, AFP news agency reports.
At the scene
It began with just one, and then scores of chilling screams echoed around the stadium.
It may be 20 years down the line, but for many here, the wounds are still too fresh to bear. Paramedics went up and down the terraces, comforting and removing those who could not cope with the memories. I saw one man being carried out during the dramatisation of the recent history of Rwanda.
The play itself was a very clear depiction of the government's interpretation of what caused the tragic episode in the country's history.
Half-way through, a jeep drove in carrying the "colonialists" who marched onto the stage. They swapped their colonial straw hats for the blue helmets of the UN and then deserted the people, leaving a bloodbath in their wake. Soldiers - representing the governing RPF - troop in to rescue a devastated population.
The week of mourning began with a wreath-laying ceremony at the national genocide memorial, followed by the lighting of a flame at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, where UN peacekeepers protected thousands of people during the genocide.
The torch has been carried across the country for the past three months, visiting 30 districts and passing from village to village.
Thousands of people packed the stadium, having queued for hours through the fog, reports the BBC's Charlotte Attwood from the scene.
Many of them reacted with uncontrollable emotion to the stories, speeches and performances recalling the genocide, our correspondent says.
Some of them had to be led out of the stadium while others had fits, she adds.
Traditional mourning songs were broadcast over the sound systems.
There was also a dramatisation of Rwanda's recent history, which our correspondent says was a clear depiction of the government's interpretation of events.
In the play, a jeep carrying "colonialists" arrives, who swap their straw hats for UN blue helmets. They then desert the people, who are saved by the governing RPF.
'Completely broken'UN personnel in Rwanda during the genocide showed "remarkable bravery", Mr Ban told the crowd, according to AP.
"But we could have done much more. We should have done much more," he said.
"In Rwanda, troops were withdrawn when they were most needed," he added.
"One year later in Srebrenica, areas proclaimed 'safe' by the United Nations were filled with danger, and innocents were abandoned to slaughter. The shame still clings, a generation after the events," Mr Ban said.
100 days of slaughter
- 6 April 1994: President Habyarimana dies in plane crash
- 7 April: Rwandan armed forces and militia start killing of Tutsis and moderate Hutus
- 7 April: Tutsi Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) rebels resume offensive
- 11 April: Red Cross says tens of thousands have already died
- 17 May: UN Security Council says acts of genocide have been committed but no reinforcements sent
- 22 May: RPF controls Kigali airport
- 22 June: Killing of Tutsis continues in "safe" area despite presence of French troops
- 4 July: RPF controls Kigali
Mr Kagame said Rwanda was "completely broken" after the genocide, but it had managed to unite itself.
"It [the genocide] simply should never have happened," he added.
Other international leaders present include Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni, former South African President Thabo Mbeki and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, now an advisor to the Rwandan government.
On Sunday, hundreds of people attended a Mass at Sainte-Famille Catholic church in Kigali to remember those who died in the church itself and elsewhere.
A spokesman for the Rwandan government said France would not be represented at the events to mark the genocide.
Mr Flesch told AFP that he had received a telephone call from the Rwandan foreign ministry to "inform me that I was no longer accredited for the ceremonies".
Earlier, the French foreign ministry said Mr Flesch would represent France at the events after Justice Minister Christiane Taubira cancelled plans to attend following an accusation by Mr Kagame that France had participated in the mass killings.
France was a close ally of Mr Habyarimana's government.
In an interview with the French-language weekly news magazine Jeune Afrique, Mr Kagame denounced the "direct role of Belgium and France in the political preparation for the genocide".
He also said that French troops had taken an "active" part in the killings.
France has rejected this charge, with Edouard Balladur, who was French prime minister in 1994, telling Europe 1 radio: "France is in no way complicit in the genocide.
"On the contrary, it of all countries in the world was the only one that took the initiative to organise a humanitarian operation to prevent widespread massacres."
France did send troops who set up "safe zones" in Rwanda. It says they saved thousands of lives but Rwanda's government has long said they did not do enough to stop the killing - and now says they worked with the Hutu militias carrying out the slaughter.
