Allowance Questions
hi there! looking for some ideas on how other parents handle allowance for their kids. we have decided that this is the route we want to go, and have some general ideas in place, but i'm looking for a bit more structure, mainly:
1. How much do you give and how often? Do you give an amount per chore (ie, $2 for emptying the dishwasher, $.50 for folding the towels) or is it a set amount each "pay"?
2. If a chore is missed, how do you handle it? Do you deduct a certain amount, withhold the full allowance, some other type of discipline?
3. How do you track the chores being done? Do you use a large poster-type thing, or is more of a mental listing?
4. What type of chores do you givet eh allowance for? Are they for any and all chores, such as bed making, picking up toys, or is it only for things above and beyond "normal" expectations, things like laundry, dishwasher, setting table, things like that?
again, we have a general idea of what we want to do, but i wanted some perspective on what others do. age of your children doesn't matter, what we have in mind is totally age appropriate.

I like a comment I heard that allowance wasn't as much about earning the money but rather about learning to budget.
So allowances are given regardless of chores however chores are expected to be done. They're just not tied together.
The allowance is a time to learn what happens from mistaken choices as much as making good choices. Also, we pay like work pays - 2x month and teach to take some out for short-term savings, long-term savings and charity.

J.F. answers from San Francisco on October 29, 2010
Well when I first got my allowance back way back,my parents included things like bed making,dishes being wash and they mean assigning chores for 4 kids.Our beds always had to be made on our own and I got a job on dishes washing,vacumming(second oldest is like a second sargent)empty laundry in to a hamper while my older sis(1st sargent) patrol on laundry and both younger brothers are garbage and lawn mowing.Also we all take turns in walking our dogs in pair.Today me and sis,tomorrow the younger brothers.My sis chores also include homework patroling.We always have to look after ourself and Dad put up a big black board with all the chores and the name that goes with certain one.It all consist of regular general chores and some are our parents things like bill pay so we know where it goes and how much money are spend on things and how hard the money is being earned by our folks.If it all not met for a good reason like study for test and making project for science class.They won't punish us by keeping the allowance but if it was for no other reason.NOne of us gets it.It forced us to help each other complete our chores.I think it was for 20 bucks a week.So hope this help.But then again my father was in an army so it was different than your case but I think you can use some of these ideas.

B. answers from Augusta on October 29, 2010
We use a token system rather than actual money.
The kids earn tokens or points for chores and good behavior and loose points for bad behavior.
5pts for unloading the dishwasher, 5 pts for loading the dishwasher.
5pts for making bed, 5 pts for picking up toys, 2 pts for brushing teeth,
5pts for doing homework.
3pts for no fighting between breakfast- lunch, lunch - dinner , dinner- bed time.
we use poker chips as tokens they got strait into a jar as soon as they do the chore. they can spend the tokens on things like computer time or going to the movies , or they can save up and trade in their points for allowance $ , 1$ for every 100 points.

V.T. answers from Dallas on October 29, 2010
We plan on giving allowance based on chores that aren't expected from them and that will change with age. We expect bed making, picking up toys, and basic house maintainence and will not get allowance. However, when they are little and they want to help dust, than that's extra and they get allowance, same goes for mowing the lawn. But when they are older, they will become expected chores and allowance will be based on other criteria. I don't know what we plan for allowance as far as money goes. But I liked that my sister made her kids put half of their allowance in the bank, 10% to taxes and got to keep the rest. The tax money was then collected and used for a family activity. She has 4 kids from 22-16 and they all have a great concept of money and don't have a sense of entitlement for things that many kids have these days. We'll see what works in my house.
B.B. answers from Missoula on October 29, 2010
My son is only 3, so we haven't really had to deal with this yet, but when the time comes we will give him a weekly allowance that is not tied to chores. I believe that as a member of our family our son will be responsible for certain household chores. We will not pay him for doing these. However, I think that learning to manage money is an important lesson for kids, so he will get a certain amount so that he can learn for himself. If he wants to earn extra money he can do extra chores, for which he could be paid.
B.D. answers from Pittsburgh on October 29, 2010
We just recently started giving my girls an allowance. It is a set amount which they receive on payday (when Dad gets paid they get paid). They are expected to do chores in return.
I bought a board but I do not use it at this point because right now it is whatever chore I need done at the time and it is basically the same chores daily. We started their allowance out low and will increase it as their responsibilities increase. Right now we are getting things underway. I don't keep track because they fulfill their chores when asked and that is sufficient.
When they are paid we have a set amount that they must save, spend, and share (give to charity).
I recently decided to give an incentive/bonus for perfect tests. I did this as a way to encourage my oldest child to go back and check her work and catch her mistakes before she turns in the test. In order to balance things out with my preschooler she is rewarded when she gets 'smileys' on her behavior sheet sent home from preschool.
A.D. answers from Minneapolis on October 29, 2010
My kids each get a monthly allowance that is not tied to chores. BUT, they do have chores that they are expected to do just to be a responsible members of the household. They have to clean up after themselves, take turns feeding the dog and cleaning up dog poop in the yard. Sometimes they help with other cleaning projects like bathrooms or windows. They have responsibility to keep track of their own things, I do not search for or replace lost items. My older daughter also has to clean her rat cage once a week, put away her laundry, and gather all her dirty laundry for the one day a week I do laundry. This is the first year my younger daughter is actually dressing for school without complete and total meltdowns regarding the fit, comfort, and type of clothes available, so I'm cutting her a little more slack in helping to get her dirty/clean clothes in the right place. One step at a time.

Criminal Convictions
LJMU Criminal Convictions Policy and Procedure
Criminal convictions are not a bar to study at LJMU, but the University does insist upon students disclosing any relevant unprotected convictions that might impact upon study at the University. The University will assess an application from a person with relevant unprotected convictions in the light of the assessed risk to other students, to staff, and to University property.
Whilst criminal convictions will not automatically preclude students from all courses, it is important to note that failure to disclose a relevant criminal conviction that later comes to light, may result in a place being withdrawn or a student being required to leave the University before having completed their studies. All disclosures regarding criminal records will be considered under the LJMU Criminal Convictions Procedure.
Some professional programmes and modules are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and students may be asked to disclose all unprotected convictions, cautions, reprimands, criminal charges and pending cases regardless of date.
Some professional programmes or modules may require students to undertake a criminal records check. This involves completing a Disclosure and Barring Service Form (for which there may be a charge) and the production of documents to verify the student's identity. The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) then processes the form and you will be required to show this to LJMU. The DBS form is then considered by the relevant Criminal Convictions Panel.
Any information provided by students in relation to Criminal Convictions declarations will be treated in strict confidence, securely maintained and disclosed only to specific individuals who require this information as part of their duties. This information will be stored separately from the student's academic record.
For further information on the Criminal Convictions Policy please contact Student Governance. Any student who is in doubt as to whether they will require a criminal convictions check should check with Student Governance.
Further information can also be obtained via email at email@example.com

You need:
3 1/2 cups of flour
2 1/2 cups of sugar - I'd go for brown sugar!
4 teaspoons of baking powder
2 tablespoons melted butter (I used soya margerine)
2 eggs (I'm sure you could use egg replacer or flax eggs here)
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mixed peel
1/2 cup sultanas
1/2 cup chopped glacé cherries
1 cup stout or beer (I used Guinness)
Preheat the oven to 150C, or 300F.
Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl, and add the sugar, baking powder, mixed peel, sultanas, and glace cherries. Mix those babies together.
Add in the spices, then make a little well in the centre. Pour in the melted butter, the eggs (beat them first!), and the vanilla extract, and mix again. It will start looking like fine breadcrumbs.
Make another well and pour in the beer, and mix. I forgot to take a picture of mine at this stage, but it got a lot darker and was quite sticky - a bit like Christmas cake mix. It also smells gorgeous! Spoon it into a greased and lined baking tin. From what I understand, a loaf shape is traditional, but I only have a cake tin, so cake shape it is! Pop the bun in the oven (and please, please make a witty comment whilst doing so), and let it cook for about an hour and fifteen minutes. You can stick a knife through it and check it comes out clean - when it does, it's cooked through.
Have you ever had bun and cheese? What is your favourite Easter food? Do you ever make your own traditional treats?

Lucky Diamond Rich, or just Lucky Rich (born Gregory Paul McLaren in 1971)[1] is "the world's most tattooed person" (a title formerly held by Tom Leppard), and has tattoos covering his entire body, including the inside of his eyelids, mouth, ears and foreskin.

You can buy disability insurance even if you're self-employed, and you should. This is one type of insurance no one should go without. Your income-earning potential is your largest asset, providing everything from food on the table to a comfortable retirement. You should take steps to protect that income.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable health insurance now.
Disability insurance pays you a portion of your income, typically 60 percent, if you can't work because of an illness or injury. There's a decent chance that you'll need this safety net at some point in your life. Of today's 20-year-olds, more than one in four will become disabled before retirement, forcing them to take a long-term absence from work, according to the Council for Disability Awareness in Portland, Maine.
The average long-term disability is 2.5 years. A study by the LIFE Foundation found that 70 percent of Americans wouldn't make it one month without their income before financial problems set in.
Most people who have disability insurance obtain the coverage through group plans offered at work. As someone who is self-employed, you can buy an individual policy, or you might be able to purchase coverage through a group plan offered by a trade association. Check to see whether an industry or trade group to which you belong offers access to coverage, and compare those plans and quotes to those you get through insurance agents who sell disability coverage.
Things to consider about disability insurance
Consider the following as you shop for disability insurance:
• Think about how much coverage you need. Many policies are available in two- and five-year increments, and some guarantee coverage until age 65.
• Some plans, called "own occupation," cover you if you cannot work the specific job you had before you became disabled. Others cover you only if you can't work any job.
• Disability coverage does not kick in immediately. Policies include an "elimination period," usually between one month and a year, after you become disabled. You can't collect benefits until the elimination period expires.
• Keep in mind that as a sole proprietor, you'll need to show business records to an insurance company to prove your income.

While accelerators may be in a bubble, they're also beginning to have a measurable, positive impact on the ecosystem. The real opportunity, though, is not in creating another Y Combinator, but in building vertical-specific accelerators that bring together industry partnerships to create learning and business opportunities for their startups. In healthtech, there's Rock Health, Blueprint, Healthbox, New York Digital Health Accelerator and Startup Health to name a few.
The roster is growing, and today we have another addition to the list from veteran accelerator DreamIt Ventures. Today, DreamIt is partnering with Independence Blue Cross (IBC) and The University of Pennsylvania Health System (Penn Medicine) to create a digital health accelerator, designed to provide with entrepreneurs with the resources they need to take advantage of opportunities in the changing landscape of the health industry.

Poverty. Riches. The world's largest democracy. An ancient caste system. Bollywood. India is a land of contrasts, a booming new power that remains baffling to outsiders and insiders alike. The Shiva Rules is a year-long GlobalPost series that decodes the many mysteries of India's uneven rise in the 21st century.
Critics say India is woefully unprepared to handle the world's largest nuclear plant.
The need for an independent regulator
Safety is hardly the only issue of concern when it comes to India's plans for nuclear expansion.
Even as the central government debates changes to land acquisition laws that led to deadly riots in West Bengal in 2007, it's steamrolling ahead with a forcible "land grab" in Maharashtra to smooth the way for the first big-ticket nuclear project signed after the India-U.S. nuclear pact.
In what critics allege is quid pro quo for French support for the move to let India bypass the non-proliferation treaty, India granted the contract to Areva without inviting tenders from competitors — potentially making the green power generated by the project too costly for ordinary Indians to afford.
And the lines separating India's nuclear industry and its nuclear regulator are too blurry to allow for independent assessment of risks.
"It is probably time to have an independent regulatory authority which is separate from the Department of Atomic Energy, something on the lines of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the United States," Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said in an interview with the Indian Express earlier this month, following claims that conflict of interest influenced the regulatory board's radiological impact assessment for the Jaitapur project. On Wednesday, he wrote a letter to the prime minister opposing large nuclear parks like the one proposed for Jaitapur, saying "Jaitapur will have 10,000 MW capacity. Is it wise?"
Even before the disaster at Fukushima, Areva's plans for Jaitapur had prompted serious questions from Indian anti-nuclear groups like the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace (CNDP). Apart from general objections related to the size and potential impact of the project in the case of an accident, the coalition drew attention to Areva's design for the pressurized reactors — which it criticized as an "untested" technology.
The safety of the reactors' failsafe controls been called into question by nuclear regulators in Finland, the United Kingdom and the United States. And the pressurized reactor projects that Areva has underway in Finland and France have been plagued by delays caused by apparently basic errors in construction — like failing to pour concrete or weld steel structures to technical specifications. Scholars opposed to nuclear power agree.
Areva's growing pains
"The previous design from Areva [the N4, four units built in France in the late 1990s] had design flaws that were only discovered after plant completion, and the construction record at Olkiluoto and Flamanville is awful," said Stephen Thomas, professor of energy policy at the University of Greenwich. "Until Areva has units built to time and cost and they are operating reliably, why [should India] take the risk?"
In an emailed response to queries from GlobalPost, Areva said that the safety authorities who questioned the designs for pressurized reactors said the issues identified "do not put into any doubt the overall safety of the EPR reactor itself" and added that the U.K.'s Health and Safety Executive has already accepted its designed modifications.
Concerning its construction problems, the company declined to specify the cost overruns that errors and delays entailed. But it pointed out that its added experience since means it is unlikely to face the same problems in India. Arguing that even its first installation has proceeded swiftly in comparison with other "first of its kind" reactors, the company said that the two pressurized reactor projects in China it began subsequently are "well within schedule and budget" and will be finished in less than 50 months.
"This shows the impressive learning curve of the new EPR reactor series, which NPCIL [Nuclear Power Corporation of India] will also benefit from in India," according to the company email.
"Isn't it amazing that the world's largest nuclear builder ... is arguing teething problems?" said Mycle Schneider, a Paris-based energy consultant who opposes nuclear power. "This is supposed to be a mature technology, even if the design has been modified. This is not a revolutionary reactor, it's called an evolutionary reactor. One wonders if after 40 years of operational experience and building experience, how much time do they need to get over teething problems?"

Air Force Common Admission Test AFCAT 02/2013 written
exam was conducted by Indian Air-Force on 25 Aug 2013, AFCAT 2 2013 paper was in
similar format like prior AFCAT exams, there were no such differences in type of questions
or in marking scheme. In this post we will share the expected cutoff marks of
AFCAT 2 2013. AFCAT 1 2013 cut off was 144 out of 300 marks.
Air Force has kept the same standard of AFCAT 2 2013 question paper
this time also, questions were neither easy
nor difficult but do required a good preparation beforehand.
Also Check:
OMR Sheet
- Again, OMR answer sheet was used in AFACT 2 2013 to avoid any kind of discrepancy which we have seen earlier at the time of AFCAT 2 2012.
Difficulty Level of AFCAT 2 2013 Questions
- General Awareness: This section was average if we compare it with last AFCAT. Though, most of the questions were from GK and General Science.
- Verbal Ability in English: This section was slightly tougher than other sections, the level of questions came from Comprehension, Error Detection, Sentence Completion, Synonyms, Antonyms and Testing of Vocabulary were tough. We would say that IAF is keeping English level really high for aspirants, even higher than what comes in CDSE.
- Numerical Ability: In this section, questions were mostly from percentage and profit/ loss. Overall, this section was easy and not that hard. Most of the questions were similar like we have seen earlier.
- Reasoning and Military Aptitude Test: This section was the easiest among all. Though, reasoning section was with average difficulty level. One must get maximum marks out of this section.
AFCAT 2 2013 Expected Cut off
Seeing the trend of AFCAT cut off marks, we don't think
there will be higher variation in AFCAT 2 2013 cut off mark.
- AFCAT 1 2012 cut off: 135
- AFCAT 2 2012 cut off: 143
- AFCAT 1 2013 cut off: 144
- AFCAT 2 2013 cut off: 110- 130
In short is you have done at least 35-45 correct questions ( Zero wrong), then you would have higher chances of clearing AFCAT 2 2013.
Let's hope for the best, hope our AFCAT preparation tips
worked well for you. If you have any concern related to AFCAT 2 2013 cut off
marks, do post it in the comment section below.

Get Ready to Support Veterans on #GivingTuesday
We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
Vietnam veterans showed us the breadth, depth and long-term ramifications of non-physical injuries—Post Traumatic Stress. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought greater awareness to the issues returning veterans face in healing both physical and emotional injury while transitioning out of the military back into society.
A lyric heard in elevators, markets and malls probably since last Thanksgiving. But an impossible dream if you're among the chronically homeless. Statistics from the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty in July of 2014, showed that over one million people were homeless, and 40% of those were U.S. military veterans.
The message came in on our website from the caretaker for a vet. Richard Miller, a Vietnam vet, wrote to us about Joe Max Orr, a Navy veteran who'll celebrate his 100th birthday this December 7. This will be his first birthday celebration since 1941, Pearl Harbor Day. On that day, Joe did not celebrate his birthday, but instead honored the fallen at Pearl Harbor.

Bligh silent on Rudd's chances
PUBLISHED: 23 Feb 2012 13:28:05 | UPDATED: 24 Feb 2012 12:33:09PRINT EDITION: 23 Feb 2012
The Queensland Premier is refusing to say if Kevin Rudd will win federal Labor's leadership war after he dragged his "good friend" into the dispute.
But Anna Bligh says she's relieved the issue will be settled at Monday's leadership spill, admitting it's a distraction that has been hampering her re-election bid.
Ms Bligh on Thursday said she'd temporarily lost senior campaign adviser Bruce Hawker – a Rudd supporter – to the crisis in Canberra.
Mr Hawker told the Premier he was taking leave from her campaign on Wednesday to focus on the federal battle.
But Ms Bligh said Mr Hawker had not given her any advance notice that Mr Rudd was going to quit as foreign minister.
The Premier said she expected Mr Hawker to be back on the job after Monday's ballot in Canberra.
She twice refused to say on Thursday who she thought would win the federal leadership vote, which Prime Minister Julia Gillard expects Mr Rudd to contest and lose.
"As leader of the Queensland Labor government, I will work with whoever the federal parliamentary party determines as leader," Ms Bligh told reporters in Cairns on Thursday.
She said she wanted the leadership issue resolved.
"Queenslanders deserve the opportunity to look at all parties being put forward for the state election, and they can't do that when this issue in Canberra is trumping the airways."
Mr Rudd dragged Ms Bligh into the dispute when he resigned as foreign minister on Wednesday while on a trip to Washington.
He said the ongoing federal leadership ructions were bad for his "good friend" Ms Bligh as she fought the political battle of her life.
Queenslanders deserved some clear space to make up their minds ahead of the March 24 vote, he said.
Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman on Thursday said he wouldn't be sidetracked by Mr Hawker's movements.
"I note that that has occurred, but we're not going to be distracted," he told reporters in Mackay.
"Our objective over the next 30 days is to talk to Queenslanders about jobs, about building up the economy, about sorting out ... the terrible pressure on the cost of living for families."
Ms Bligh said Mr Hawker had done the right thing by temporarily stepping aside from the state campaign.
"Bruce has been very active working with Kevin Rudd," she said.
"I don't think it would be appropriate for him to be working on my campaign as he does that."
Mr Hawker said he would be unable to make any meaningful contribution to Queensland Labor's campaign while the federal issue was playing out.
"It's well known that I am a strong supporter of Kevin Rudd's, doing a lot of media around the issue," he told ABC radio.
"I think it was the only proper and right thing to do."

MyWikiBiz is a wiki directory that allows people and enterprises to write about themselves. The brand began as a service creating Wikipedia articles for paying corporations; the founder and owner of MyWikiBiz, Gregory Kohs, was soon blocked from Wikipedia.[2] As of September 2012[ref], the MyWikiBiz directory contained over 80,000 pages of content, much of which was link spamming.[3] The business is headquartered in West Chester, Pennsylvania.[4]
In January 2014, the site's main page carried a notice stating that all but the 5,000 most viewed pages would be removed from public view, citing link spamming damaging the site's Google page rank.[3]
Kohs and his sister started the MyWikiBiz venture in Pennsylvania in July 2006, initially as a paid editing service, writing content for inclusion in Wikipedia and other community-edited sites.[5][6] He considered the example of Wikipedia's "reward board", where interested parties would offer cash rewards or gifts to create or improve Wikipedia articles, as indicating his venture was within community standards.[4] MyWikiBiz's prices ranged between $49 and $99 USD for adding entries that conformed to Wikipedia's standards and policies.[4] No official Wikipedia policy prohibited paid-for contributions.[7] Kohs argued that there were tens of thousands of clearly notable companies and nonprofit organizations unrepresented on Wikipedia.[8]
Professor Jonathan Zittrain of the Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society discussed the case of MyWikiBiz in his book The Future of the Internet – And How to Stop It.[9] Kohs also appeared on Attack of the Show! on January 25, 2007, and discussed MyWikiBiz.[10]
Paid editing issues[edit]
Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales called the commercialized editing "antithetical" to Wikipedia's mission and "absolutely unacceptable"[4] and blocked Kohs' account from editing Wikipedia.[9] However, in August 2006, Wales issued a "mutually beneficial" compromise[11] where he encouraged MyWikiBiz to author and post content on a GFDL-compliant section of MyWikiBiz.com, which could then be scraped by non-paid, independent editors into Wikipedia and other GFDL sites.[9] Kohs' company stated that he was committed to write only about notable companies in a Wikipedia-like style.[4] The first few weeks that he wrote articles onto his own site saw ten articles transferred to Wikipedia that way.[12]
In late October 2006, Kohs formed a partnership to promote and market a wiki-based directory at Centiare.com,[4][13] after which Kohs moved its contents to MyWikiBiz.com.[14] Heise Online expressed a suspicion that while MyWikiBiz's "attempted corporate infiltration" of Wikipedia was discovered, MyWikiBiz was not an isolated case.[15]
2014 Wikimedia conference ban[edit]
In June 2014, Kohs was not allowed to present at or attend WikiConference USA 2014,[16] a national Wikimedia conference. The conference's press release asserted that "WikiConference USA is open to all participants, regardless of previous level of involvement with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia projects."[17]

Karchmer, Eric I. (2010) Chinese medicine in action: on the postcoloniality of medical practice in China. Medical Anthropology, 29 (3). pp. 226-252. ISSN 0145-9740
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01459740.2010.488665
Since the early twentieth century, there has been strong opposition to Chinese medicine within Chinese society. Critics have attacked Chinese medicine as unscientific and a hindrance to the development of the nation. I argue that doctors of Chinese medicine have responded to this charge by developing a "postcolonial" form of medicine that is based on the celebrated methodology of "pattern recognition and treatment determination bianzheng lunzhi [image omitted]." I show that bianzheng lunzhi plays two contradictory roles in everyday clinical practice, distinguishing the uniqueness of Chinese medicine from biomedicine while providing a technology for integrating these two medical practices. Through the close examination of a typical medical case, I show how these dual processes of purification and hybridization have become the central dynamic in the postcolonial transformation of Chinese medicine.

Concept art from a work in progress area we're currently designing.
Posted by dCepT on Jan 7th, 2013
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good holiday and a great New Year celebration!
We figured it was about time to get back into posting stuff again, so I'm going to show you guys some concept art for an area we're calling "Zenit". We've got people working on the gameplay and content design for this area as well, but I'll kick it off with some concept art and visual development sketches!
Without revealing any story around it, Amon and Gnart find themselves facing an unforgiving desert, the habitat of the Rock Crabler, Fire Beetle and Fire Djinn from previous posts.
As you guys are getting used to seeing from me, I start off by doing some rapid, rough sketches just to start generating some idea of what I'm doing. We wanted a crumbled entrance in an old temple partially hidden by the sand as a starting point, so that's what I focused on when I did these first sketches.
After some pointing and discussing with Frits I colored and refined this one:
From there we wanted to get a better feel for the environment as a whole, and I started out doing a color sketch of Amon and Gnart right after they've been dumped into the desert:
We originally thought a camera above the player and pretty far out would do it, but after some discussion and prototyping the camera in engine we felt it would be better to position the camera more behind the player considering the gameplay we want in this area.
There will of course be combat encounters in the desert as well, so I did a quick mockup of how that might look when Amon and Gnart face off against a Fire Djinn.
And another following the same camera rules as the start of the desert, showcasing ancient architecture of a city buried in sand.
That's it from me for this post! Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
Looking good. Like the interface icons a lot, but the hp/energy bars go a lot in the pixel direction while the icons are really clean and vector like , same for the font.
Thanks! Crits and kudos definitely noted :)

text: @alex94: In the movie "Wyatt Earp", it showed Urilla died from typhoid while she was pregnant. The more I read about it, the more the articles seemed to contradict this fact. Some say she died of typhoid fever before they could have children. Other articles say she died from typhoid during childbirth. It was also mentioned that Urilla was pregnant when she and Wyatt got married. If that were the case, that would explain why her parent's blamed Wyatt for her death.

Taking Charge Blog
This winter I'll develop and design TAKING CHARGE, a participatory publishing project. TAKING CHARGE will be a pocket guide to the emerging synergies of portable solar energy, cell phone technology and natural resource management in ten remote river communities on the Arapiuns River in Brazil's Amazon region.
In August 2012, I traveled with a team of experienced Brazilian partners as part of the Luz Portátil Brasil initiative to provide portable solar energy kits to people in isolated communities in the Tapajós-Arapiuns Extractive Reserve, an ecologically sensitive region of the Amazon. These portable solar kits, with a flexible solar panel, rechargeable battery case, LED light, and USB port introduce for the first time a mobile and renewable "soft" energy infrastructure to a region which has inherited the "hard" centralized infrastructures of kerosene lamps and fixed diesel generators that are damaging to human health and the river environment.
In the Amazon, I realized that something as seemingly simple as a cell phone -- and the ability to charge it with solar energy anywhere on the river -- could create a versatile and important resource for the local land planning of river communities and the development of their sustainable forest enterprises. What was missing was an accessible "starter toolkit" of useful mobile phone applications, an effective and participatory means to demonstrate to the community what a smartphone could do and a practical, accessible "user's guide" with how-to instructional diagrams, local tips and photos. River citizens could contribute knowledge to the "user's guide" for their peers in other communities, sharing insights on how they have used the USB-based solar energy kit and smartphone in their sustainable forest enterprises and communities.
Enter TAKING CHARGE. This compact, participatory "pocket guide," in downloadable and print formats, will be a visual instructional guide to solar-powered USB charging of cellphones in the Amazon. TAKING CHARGE will be abundantly illustrated with engaging "how-to" diagrams, a list of available useful apps, and information on how to customize a cellphone as a multi-tool for the sustainable management of natural resources in the river communities. TAKING CHARGE will also include a set of highly detailed community maps with data generated by and for river citizens, a section featuring photographs, DIY tips and stories shared by local sustainable forest entrepreneurs, and a photographic geo-tagged biodiversity catalogue of selected local flora and fauna that are important to the Amazon River communities.
With your generous support, I'll create a USB-based toolkit containing Android cell phones, a suite of useful cell phone applications and I'll design the visual-based TAKING CHARGE pocket guide. Your support will enable me to travel to ten river communities on the Arapiuns and Tapajós Rivers. There, I'll lead a series of participatory community workshops with low cost, hands-on projects that will demonstrate what a cell phone can do -- anywhere on the river -- when combined with a mobile source of solar energy. A participatory process that is fun -- one that engages kids, school teachers and other community members is central to TAKING CHARGE. I've already developed and field tested a method to facilitate small participatory community workshops with the support of my TAKING CHARGE project partner, Projeto Saúde e Alegria, who has extensive experience in the communities of the Arapiuns and Tapajós Rivers. During my first trip, I learned firsthand the incredible wealth of knowledge that river community residents had about their ecosystem and the sustainable management of natural resources. The organization and graphic design ofthe TAKING CHARGE pocket guide will demonstrate how river citizens can build on this knowledge with the strategic pairing of cell phone and mobile solar power. Illustrated sections of the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide will feature:
- KITE MAPPING: Using stunning aerial imagery created with Androids during participatory community kite-mapping workshops to visualize and map river community lands.
- SUSTAINABLE FOREST ENTREPRENEUR PROFILES: Local tips, stories and profiles on how local sustainable forest entrepreneurs are using cellphones and solar power to enhance the sustainable land management of natural resources.
- BIODIVERSITY CATALOGUE: A collection of community-generated geo-tagged photographs compiled in a unique, regional biodiversity catalogue that represents and monitors a selection of the most important flora and fauna for the Arapiuns and Tapajós river communities.
The TAKING CHARGE pocket guide will be a community-based publication -- where much of the visual representation, local information, and photographic content that I'll be laying out and working with will be generated by members of the community for the community using cell phones charged with mobile solar energy. As a participatory publication, the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide will facilitate the exchange of local information among the ten river communities to create a community based knowledge network at the larger regional scale of the Arapiuns River and the Extractive Reserve.
In the river communities, I'll lead instructional participatory workshops featuring "kite-mapping" projects -- hoisting a continuous-shot cell phone camera on a kite to create stunning and beautiful aerial photographs that can be stitched together with open-source software. The kite-mapping techniques I've field-tested on the Arapiuns River are very low-cost, since kite-mapping uses the wind on the river!
In collaboration with TAKING CHARGE project partner Projeto Saúde e Alegria, I'll use the high-resolution kite-generated images in a participatory mapping process with the community, to note ecological and infrastructural features, natural resources, and existing patterns of community land use and ownership. With this community input, I'll create the graphic design for a series of high-resolution maps -- by and for the people who live in the river communities -- that visually identify and represent pathways and water routes, roads, agricultural lands, natural resources, community nodes, patterns of solar charging and cell phone use, and emergent soft infrastructures (GMS, EDGE, 3G coverage zones).
River community residents -- the caboclo people, of Amerindian descent -- manage sustainable forest enterprises that depend upon the ecosystem, such as weaving, beekeeping, organic farming, fishing, ecotourism, or grain processing. The TAKING CHARGE pocket guide will feature case-study profiles of these sustainable entrepreneurs that explore how river citizens are using portable solar power and cell phones in their enterprises and communities. Each forest entrepreneur profile will contain a visual photographic portrait and a brief interview with the entrepreneur (recorded via the cell phone camera), with a description of his or her enterprise and its community context. These profile sections will include information on how the entrepreneur got started, what he/she would like other river citizens to know about running a sustainable enterprise, cell phone photographs of daily tasks, tips on best ways to harvest solar energy and cell phone charging patterns.
Androids as well as simple cell phones are customizable digital multi-tools with many different functional uses. In a participatory geo-tagging workshop, I'll present hands-on demonstrations of cellphone apps that engage the phone's camera and its GPS capabilities. These workshops will consider both emergent 3G wireless networks in the region and the existing satellite based internet access points provided by the local Rede Mocoronga telecenters. The Amazon is one of the richest zones of biodiversity in the world. The TAKING CHARGE pocket guide will feature a biodiversity catalogue of community generated geo-tagged photographs, taken locally with a cell phone. The TAKING CHARGE biodiversity catalogue will represent a selection of the flora and fauna of the Tapajós-Arapiuns Extractive Reserve that are most important to people in each community. More than a field guide, this photographic catalogue will reflect Amazon residents' perspectives from each river community. Photographs will be keyed to the community maps along with people's impressions, photo dates and locations.
Your support will make the TAKING CHARGE Pocket guide a reality! With your support, I'll be able to assemble DIY cell phone demonstration toolkits that make this participatory process possible. During this winter's trip to the Amazon, I'll draw from community generated content, user input and local know-how and utilize my experience with mobile communications, diagramming, graphic design and architectural map-making to design the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide. Translations in Portuguese (and English) for the TAKING CHARGE content will be generously provided by my Brazilian project partners. TAKING CHARGE will be printed on weatherproof Rite-in-the-Rain® paper, and will be spiral bound for ease of use and durability in the Amazon. Each community will receive a hard copy of the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide in Portuguese, and all members of the communities will also receive a PDF copy of the pocket guide online through the local Rede Mocoronga network, which River citizens can access on their smartphones or in existing community telecenters.
I have a great team of partners supporting TAKING CHARGE. The Luz Portátil Brasil team, with whom I travelled in August, includes the internationally recognized Portable Light Project with Brazilian partners Instituto EDP and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB). TAKING CHARGE is joined by the renowned Brazilian health organization Projeto Saúde e Alegria (PSA) that has more than 25 years of experience working with Amazon River communities. Over many years, PSA has collected information on the region and the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide will contribute to a comprehensive mapping initiative that PSA has begun at the community scale. The support and on-the-ground knowledge of my Brazilian project partners will help to ensure the successful implementation, participatory process and distribution of the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide in the Arapiuns and Tapajós River communities. Please join us in supporting TAKING CHARGE!
The TAKING CHARGE Pocket Guide will be a first-of-its-kind community learning resource that fills a missing gap between a mobile clean energy infrastructure and a community's own capacity to take charge and benefit from it! Without your support for TAKING CHARGE, river citizens on the Arapiuns and Tapajós Rivers would not be able to share the ideas, knowledge, and success stories of their peers. River communities would not be able to build on their experiences with portable solar power and cell phones to grow knowledge from one community to another, reducing regional community learning and capacity-building around renewable energy and its sustainable uses.
The TAKING CHARGE Pocket Guide, as a participatory publication by and for Amazon River citizens, demonstrates a pragmatic and visually engaging new model for Amazon River communities –- one based on new ways of using mobile, renewable solar energy and wireless cell phone technologies as a toolkit to map, sustainably manage and represent the rich bio-diversity of Amazon river community rainforest lands.
I've field tested DIY cell phone apps, tools and community workshop methods for TAKING CHARGE in the Amazon, found a great set of project partners and I've secured grants to cover my lodging, board and boat travel logistics in the Amazon River communities. Now I need your help!
Your generous support is necessary to make TAKING CHARGE a reality! Your support will cover my travel expenses, including international and domestic airfare and required medications for the region. Your donations to the TAKING CHARGE Kick Starter campaign will enable me to assemble and prepare river community cell phone toolkits, useful app suites and visual instructions, and conduct participatory workshops in ten river communities on the Arapiuns and Tapajós Rivers. Your support will enable me to collect and compile community generated content and photographs for the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide. In addition, your support will cover all the necessary design and production costs to publish and distribute the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide -- in ten spiral-bound, waterproof publications for each community and a downloadable online version for each river community citizen.
Thank you -- your support is so important to the TAKING CHARGE pocket guide and it's greatly appreciated!
For the duration of the project, selected content, including TAKING CHARGE project progress reports, selected community generated cell phone photographs and videos, commentary, and interview discussions with key project and community members, will be posted on the TAKING CHARGE blog (http://www.takingcharge-amazon.tumblr.com) and on the twitterverse @TAKINGCHARGE_PL (http://www.twitter.com/takingcharge_pl). Please join me and follow TAKING CHARGE!
Brazil has one of the highest densities of cell phone use. Large parts of river have 3G and GSM coverage. Additionally, the arrival of 3G in these communities is anticipated within 1-2 years. Around a year ago our project partner, PSA, in conjunction with Brazilian wireless provider Vivo, supplied 200 Samsung smartphones to community members throughout the Amazon, Tapajos, and Arapiuns rivers, allowing them to upload their photos and videos on Facebook and YouTube. In areas where there is no wireless service, PSA has also established solar powered telecenters with Internet access in communities on the Arapiuns River.
At present, the Luz Portátil Brasilsolar kits will remain in the Amazon region to provide portable light and power to people who would not otherwise have access to electricity. Please recommend any experienced organizations or manufacturers that you think would be interested in expanding the Luz Portátil Brasil project and TAKING CHARGE in the Amazon -- or in other global regions without electricity -- and I'll be sure to contact them.
I'll gladly accept your donations of used, unlocked Android phones in good working condition for the toolkit.Please place these in a pre-paid package box and contact me for a mailing address! You can also spread the word about this project on your social media networks and to your family, friends, and colleagues! Use the hashtag #TAKINGCHARGE
Any funds that exceed the TAKING CHARGE Kick Starter campaign target will be used to support the assembly and preparation of additional cell phone toolkits in the river communities and to expand the number of bound publications of the TAKING CHARGE Pocket Guide, so that every school teacher in the Arapiuns-Tapajós river communities has additional bound copies for their school curricula. Please contact me if you are interested in helping to expand the publication and distribution of the TAKING CHARGE Pocket Guide.

They also should be mandated to recycle their cardboard. Every time I buy a salad at Wendy's, it is served in a plastic container. I recycle it, but millions of others do not. How can we start something like this?

EUGENE, Ore. — A Lane County jury found a Junction City man guilty Friday of sexually abusing a female foreign exchange student who was living in his home.
James McClintock, 51, was found guilty of four counts of third-degree sexual abuse and one count of private indecency. He was found not guilty of one count of third-degree sexual abuse.
McClintock was arrested Feb. 4. The charges accused him of having illegal sexual contact with a 17-year-old female foreign exchange student between Sept. 1 and Jan. 1, while she was living in his Junction City home. The private indecency count accused McClintock of exposing himself to the girl during the same period of time.
The counts are misdemeanors, with each punishable by up to a year in jail and/or a fine of $6,250 per count. Third-degree sexual abuse is defined by Oregon law as subjecting a person to sexual contact without their consent. State law dictates that victims younger than age 18 are incapable of giving consent to sexual contact.
Following McClintock's arrest, the two foreign exchange students who had been living in the McClintock residence were relocated to California. Authorities said the charges involved only one of the two girls. Both girls returned to Eugene to testify against McClintock during his trial. One of the students is from Germany and the other is from Finland.
Judge Gerald Neufeld of Josephine County, a visiting judge, presided over the trial and scheduled McClintock's sentencing for May 26 at 8:30 a.m. in courtroom 301.
McClintock's trial began Tuesday in Lane County Circuit Court, and the jury reached a verdict Friday morning.

Faculty Programs & Resources
These online courses use a book metaphor to organize the content. Initially the following three book titles will be developed:
The screens for Living Books will resemble book pages, and we will use book organizers like chapters and units. Unlike books, however, the content in these "book pages" will be very interactive. Every chapter will have links to websites and interactive exercises such as case studies, assignments that require the user to type in an answer or response, response pages that provide the correct answers or exemplars, and other techniques that involve the learner. In the future, a discussion area will be available. The goal is to have each Living Book "chapter" take approximately 60 minutes to complete, entitling the learner to one contact hour of continuing education credit. Living Books will grow as new chapters are added and sections or units emerge. Chapters can be revised whenever necessary and older chapters can be moved into an "historical" section or unit.
