MCCS 0518: Adaptive Management
Adaptive management is a powerful tool conservation researchers, practitioners, and managers use to organize the development and implementation of projects and programs. Yet while many conservation organizations seek adaptive management skills in prospective employees, few conservation graduate programs offer adaptive management training. This course is given in partnership with Foundations of Success (FOS) a nonprofit organization whose conservation training activities focus on expanding the use of adaptive management principles in conservation.
FOS is a founding member of the Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP), whose member organizations are committed to devising better ways to design, manage, and measure the impacts of their conservation actions. During this course, participants use the CMP's Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation and Miradi adaptive management software to explore how conservation projects can be planned and designed to advance towards their goals in an organized and efficient manner. The techniques taught in this course are applicable to a range of conservation issues and are readily adapted to course participants' own work.
Working in teams, course participants apply the adaptive management skills they are learning to real-world conservation projects—projects recruited from participants, course coaches and conservation organizations. Structuring the training course (including the daily lecture/discussion sessions) around these team projects provides a realistic view of the intricacies of conservation endeavors. Course applicants are encouraged to propose conservation-related projects they are working on as possible course teamwork projects.
During each day's sessions, course instructors introduce the appropriate tools and guide project teams in applying these to their assigned conservation-related projects. Experienced course coaches facilitate the teamwork. Participants use Miradi software to document and revise the products from each course module, and each project team prepares and presents for group discussion a brief summary of the products developed during that module. At the end of the course, each team prepares in writing and presents as a group their project's complete draft adaptive management plan.
May 18-22, 2015
Note: This May 18-22, 2015 onsite course also requires participation in some pre- and post-onsite course virtual group work via phone/internet. This includes one mandatory half-day virtual class session sometime during the week of May 4-8, 2015, and another mandatory half-day virtual class session sometime during the week of June 1-4, 2015.

8 month old with persistant croup like cough
Started by
Matty's Mum
, Apr 23 2012 11:25 AM
9 replies to this topic
#1Posted 23 April 2012 - 11:25 AM
Hi everyone,
My 8 month old DS had a cold 3 weeks ago and the symptoms went away after a week but the cough stayed and became worse. He was seen by a dr 1 week ago who said it was croup and could last anywhere up to 3 weeks.. however because DS is still quite happy in himself and is not having trouble with his bottles or breathing issues, he said to keep up neurofen and that was all. He then gave me a fact sheet on croup which i read later and it actually says croup should only last a few days, a week at the most! Anyway after the doctor visit, DS cough has been getting worse by the day. To begin with it was really only noticeable at night but now he has nasty coughing fits all day and wakes up several times during the night. He has refused solids since he has been sick but dr said this isn't anything to worry about as long as he is keeping his bottles down. Late saturday night he awoke and it seemed he was trying to cough but couldn't and turned bright red struggling for breath. When he was able to cough he threw up a lot of muck and was very upset. While all this was going on, OH was on the phone to a nurse on call who asked a million questions and after hearing DS cough she said it didn't sound like croup to her as it was too wet and to have him seen by a dr again within 4hrs. So off we go to the local hospital where a nurse examines DS, who is of course now perfectly happy and has a good chat and giggle to the nurse, Nurse says everything is fine, yes the cough isn't very nice but his breathing was good, heart rate etc etc and decides not to call in a dr because in her opinion it was not an emergency but if we were to get concerned again, see a dr during the week. So the coughing is still as bad as it was last week, DS is his normal happy self, still scoffing all of his bottles like usual, playing happily without an issue and you wouldnt know anything is wrong with him until he coughs. So while I am waiting to find out if he can see our family GP today or tomorrow.. has anyone else had a bub with 'croup' that has lasted so long? and appears to not be getting any better? Apologies for the ramble and if it doesn't make much sense. Thankyou #2Posted 23 April 2012 - 11:27 AM
When my daughter was nearly 1 and we thought she had persistent croup, it turned out to be whooping cough. I would suggest asking the doctor to test for that.
I hope your little one recovers quickly from whatever it is x #3Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:30 PM
Thankyou SarahPoppins,
I was under the impression that because my son is fully immunized, he cannot get whooping cough. Is this not the case? #4Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:36 PM
even if a child is fully immunised they can still get whooping cough, just not as serverly as an unimmunised child. I would be going to the doctor & asking for your ds to be tested

sounds alot like whooping cough. My son was immunised and still got it.
#6Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:38 PM QUOTE (imamumto3 @ 23/04/2012, 02:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> even if a child is fully immunised they can still get whooping cough, just not as serverly as an unimmunised child. I would be going to the doctor & asking for your ds to be tested ah ok, thankyou i wasn't aware of that. DS will be seeing a GP tomorrow and I will be sure to ask about whooping cough #7Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:42 PM
The other possibility I think would be bronchiolitis. My son has had probably 5 or 6 bouts of it since he was born, he's now 14 months. Every time he's had it it will be particularly bad for the first 2 or 3 days, particularly at night time when he struggles to breathe, but the cough seems to linger for a week or two afterwards.
#8Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:47 PM
Let us know what you find out. Whooping Cough is doing the rounds and even vaccinated kids can get a mild dose
#9Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:49 PM
I was gonna suggest bronchiolitis too if it's not whooping cough. If the coughing leads to some vomiting .. Definite indicator. DS had it at 4mths old. Ladt about 4-6wks. Ask GP to swab test for RSV virus which is what causes it.

Is this not the case? My daughter was immunised and was still so so sick. I hate to think how bad she would have been if she hadn't been immunised 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

I am looking for some help or maybe some tips on art photography for landscape or nature I really enjoyed that night photo shoot we did
The date and time on here is for photography 101 meet up....I am not sure who planned this one but the information on it has never been completed! I inadvertently put the date and time in here....there was no date or time before that ...My apologies for the confusion....who is the sponsor for this one....I would love to go depending on where and when it is!
1 · August 18, 2013
Other than farm scenes it's hard to find landscape venues here. I've been wanting to do an outing featuring The Back Alleys of Grand Rapids. I know that's not exactly landscape, but I would be happy to have that idea co-opted for this event.
1 · August 12, 2013
OK. I believe that Robin inadvertently set a date and time while trying to schedule another event. Unless this is near Grand Rapids I would prefer a weekend instead of a work day. I believe that we have people from Grand Rapids and Kzoo in here. May I be so bold as to suggest a convenient location like Saugatuck State park the weekend of the 24th and 25th? I can fit five people comfortably in my Impala and I would be happy to offer a ride to four people from Grand Rapids.
1 · August 9, 2013
This event now has a date and time. It still needs a place and someone to point people in the proper direction. Anyone going to step up?
August 9, 2013
I really hate to be a killjoy, but can we move any non-related event postings to the forum or the G+ group. It causes a lot of confusion.

August 5, 2013
Any information on a location or date! I hope this gets communicated...last meet up I never received an update of the location
July 22, 2013
I'm interested in doing this meet up, dependent on date, time, and cost as well :) I just joined and looking forward to getting out and shooting with fellow enthusiast!
July 22, 2013
Saugatuck state park has a lot of landscape shots. The trail to the north with the Dunes and up over the trees is nice.

I would be interested if it in fact it is a nature landscape field trip. I can be available anytime except Sundays.

Meetup has allowed me to meet people I wouldn't have met naturally - they're totally different than me.

This so called game may look harmless... but be warned. It's ran by wow gold farmers and once I played it, minutes later, I got an email from WoW saying my computer has been infected(I didn't click any of the links inside of the email, incase if it was someone trying to steal my account.) Anyways, I went to WoW homepage and found out it was a true email, because my account was frozen due to someone trying to hack in. Sadly, I don't really have anything of vaule to steal.. However, it just pisses me off that they put a keylogger on my system. I say, if you want to play this game, just find one of your crappy computers and use it on that. Otherwise, stay away from this crap game. They can sue me, won't get anything from me, though. Just wish MMORPG.com would delete them from the list. |
Originally posted by frostsmith You should make sure that this is true before making this kind of acusations. I mean, use a good antivirus or spyware program over the evony setup, for example, and make sure it doesnt came from any other application you installed -=AlaKraM=- |
It's all on evonys' side. At the time I wasn't playing anything online other than evony.com. It happened during the time I was playing and I wasn't playing that long so it just seems like it was them. Also, you can look them up and find their shady business ethics. I use firefox with adblock and noscript, Microsoft essentials, spybot, superantispyware, malwarebytes and two firewalls... but most don't stop keyloggers from getting in if the game is web-based on java. This game is bad news and the fact that MMORPG.com keeps them on here is questionable. I know it's hard to believe the gamers over the developers... I had the same discussion over Runes of Magic and their shady surveys, but that was on another computer, so that couldn't affect anything on this one. I got rid of all the malware after I was warned about the threat. I am not the type of person that goes on forums just to bash games because they pissed me off. |
I had the same expierence, new email signed up for this game had phishing scams next couple days. |
From what I understand the game is run by a company that owns(owned?) WoWmine etc. They did sell WoW gold. Do NOT use the account name or e-mail you use to play MMOs for Evony if you want to make sure you are safe. Aside from that they do have some other practises that are questionable. IE. . advertise spend $30 and get this or that free. . they later claimed that this did not include certain purchases etc etc. . even though this was not clearly stated. It could be a translation issue but this has been a known issue since the game launched. Also. . don't spend money on it. You do not need to. Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is! |

Hmm, now that I think about it, my WoW accounts didn't get hacked until after playing Evony. At first I figured WoW switching to Battle.net was the issue for my accounts getting hacked, but if this video has any merit, than maybe, just maybe, this is why my accounts were so easily hacked. |
yea i got a virus from WOW too, it said "WOW OP is a moron"olol virus from WOW |

Proceed with caution on boreal promise
Dalton McGuinty's promise to set aside half of Ontario's northern boreal forest for permanent protection may not mean very much. It's hard to say, because the promise is so vague.
Comments | ? |
Report an Error |
Share via Email
For instance, he could protect only the Hudson Bay Lowlands, which make up more than half of the northern boreal. Logging is unlikely to occur there in any event; so if that's what he's promising, the more desirable western half of the region would remain open to forestry companies.
The forest in the Lowlands – the area that wraps around James Bay and stretches inland 100 to 350 kilometres – is transitional: the entire area is fragile, trees are small and can take 250 to 350 years to mature and replanting has a high failure rate.
Nevertheless, protection in the Lowlands would still be useful in restricting access roads for mining, and in controlling corridors for power lines.
The western half of the northern boreal is continuous forest. If McGuinty had promised the protected area would include at least half of it, it would have meant that no logging would probably occur on 75 per cent of the northern boreal, but protection would be assured where needed. In any event, the public will have to wait up to 15 years to get details on what will be protected. McGuinty expects research and the planning process will take that long.
Not everything is off in the future, however. The Premier has promised no new mining or logging projects will be allowed until local land-use plans have been implemented with full support from native communities. This sounds a lot like a moratorium until an agreement is reached, which is what Indians have been seeking.
This should put a brake on development while the protected areas are being earmarked and give the public the chance to see how the Premier follows through on this promise. McGuinty made a similar promise five years ago, but never kept it.
A footnote on a different issue.
China now holds a veto over Canada's domestic policy on global warming. So do India, Brazil and tiny Singapore – in fact, so does every nation that has what Prime Minister Stephen Harper calls an "emerging economy."
His position at the recent meeting of G8 leaders in Japan was that Canada would not agree to mandatory targets for reducing emissions of carbon dioxide unless countries with "emerging economies" did the same. In other words, if they don't, Canada won't. That, in anyone's language, amounts to giving them a veto.
The meeting set a 2050 goal for limiting emissions, which had gaping loopholes and no short-term targets.
Harper said he was motivated by realism. As an aide explained, what the Prime Minister meant was it would be wrong to set goals that are too challenging.
That sets Harper's realism apart from that of Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations panel on climate change. Last November he said global warming is proceeding at such a pace that "what we do in the next two or three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment."
Or how about realism as expressed by James Hansen, chief climate change scientist for NASA? In a speech in Washington three weeks ago, he said, "We have reached a point of planetary emergency." Already the world's safe level of atmospheric carbon dioxide has been exceeded, he added.
Take your pick. I know whose realism I choose.

Ridge Racer Slipstream Hands-On
Though developer Namco Bandai decided not to release its customary Ridge Racer title to accompany the launch of the PlayStation 4, that doesn't mean the team has been dozing off behind the wheel. You see, Ridge Racer Slipstream, a premium mobile instalment of the drift-based racing series, has just appeared on the App Store. Despite the fact it's only been out for around 24 hours, there have already been negative rumblings about the game's potentially restrictive in-app purchase system. You'll have to wait for the AppSpy review to get our considered take on Ridge Race Slipstream's driving and IAP shenanigans. However, if you want to see what the game looking like in motion, you ca…
Walking Dead: The Game - Season 2 Review

After former protagonist Lee's unfortunate exit from the series, his once ward Clementine has become something of a lone wolf. In this new episode, you control Clementine directly, helping her face everything from imminent starvat…

If you've been an iOS gamer for more than a few months, you'll have played a tower defence title. The App Store is full of them, after all. Office Hero, from Keyloft, is one such tower defence title. In Office Hero, you have to help a hard-working businessman called Mike protect his office from the attacks of increasingly nasty and competitive companies who want to see him fail. In order to protect Mike's workplace, you'll have to rally together his most loyal employees (the game's towers). They all have unique skills that will help you to repel the office invaders. Unlike in most tower defence titles, you can move every single tower in Office Hero freely and without penalty. This adds…
Colossatron: Massive World Threat Hands-On
Colossatron: Massive World Threat, Halfbrick's monstrous take on the match-three genre, will go live on the App Store at midnight tonight. Match-three games are big business nowadays, with the like of Candy Crush Saga reaping millions of dollars on a monthly basis. However, Australian developer Halfbrick has approached the genre from a drastically different - and rather ingenious - angle. You have to monitor the progress of a giant snake-like robot which comes crashing down to earth with the intention of destroying everything in its path. Your specific job is to bolt coloured modules onto the body of the snake as and when they appear. Snap on three matching modules in a row, and your su…
Cut the Rope 2 Hands-On
Candy-catching sequel Cut the Rope 2 has just appeared on the New Zealand App Store. It'll be heading to the UK and US at midnight tonight, and will cost 69p / 99c. This time around, developer Zeptolab has freed loveable green monster Om Nom from his boxy prison. Turns out he's been abducted by spiders, and must munch his way through a variety of outdoor environments in order to get home. Beyond the visual changes, Cut the Rope 2 features a couple of new gamplay mechanics, and some extra characters. To help Om Nom on his quest, you'll need to take control of 5 Nommines, each of whom have a special ability. For example, in the hands-on video above, you'll see me interact with a Nom…
Ghost no more: real-time multiplayer comes to Real Racing 3
Real Racing 3 has expanded the scope of its multiplayer mode, with a new update now letting you compete wirelessly with other racers in real-time. When Real Racing 3 first appeared on the App Store earlier this year, EA and developer Firemonkeys made a point of promoting the game's Time Shifted Multiplayer feature. This neat innovation let you compete against the ghosts of other players in your Game Center list, even when those players were offline. However, due to popular demand, the Real Racing 3 team has decided to update its popular free-to-play racer with a good old-fashioned mutliplayer mode, allowing you to go head-to-head against your friends in real-time. Accompany…

Grab your hankies and prepare to have your heart broken all over again: The Walking Dead: Season 2 has just gone live on the App Store. The first episode in this continuation of the multi award-winning interactive drama reunites us with plucky young survivor Clementine as she tries to find her way through a world ravaged by zombies. If you've played through the first season of The Walking Dead on iOS, then the decisions you made will carry over into the new narrative, directly affecting the way in which this season's story unfolds. Expect a review of the first episode very soon. If you just can't wait to find out what has happened to Clementine, then you can download Episode 1 of The Walk…
Nintendo looking to experiment with smartphones and tablets
If there's one prevailing line of discussion related to gaming I've heard more than any other this year, it's that Nintendo should change its status from a console manufacturer to a third party publisher. Basically, people think they should stop making consoles and handhelds, and put their games on other systems, and especially smartphones and tablets. "Think of how Pokemon would sell on the iPhone" the advocates of such change insist. However, while it seems like a good idea of the surface, one has to wonder about the financial validity of selling a game for a few dollars on iOS that you've been selling in the millions this year on 3DS handheld at a much higher retail price. Nintendo is…
Apple unveils its Games of the Year for 2013
It's that time of the year when everyone is compiling their best of the year lists, and Apple have just dropped theirs on the App Store. I think you will find the results surprising. In the category of iPhone games, the winner is Ridiculous Fishing, a game that recieved a high amount of critical praise, and a pretty glowing review from us earlier in the year. Congrats to Vlambeer and his tale of redemption! Runners up in this category were Simogo's Device 6, and Epoch 2 from Uppercut Games. I'm quite surprised to see Device 6 take the runner-up spot over Year Walk, as it seemed to be talked about a lot more, but there you go. And while we weren't as excited about Epoch 2 as others might ha…
Gling requires some circular logic to understand

Dead Trigger 2's Christmas update adds new missions, nearly doubles the size of the game
It seems like only a couple of weeks ago that I was telling you about the latest Dead Trigger 2 update. Though, admittedly, that's probably because it was only a couple of weeks ago. However, Madfinger has decided that 50 new missions isn't going to be enough to see you through the apocalyptic hell that is Christmas dinner with your family. To remedy this, the dev has decided you give you an extra 150 missions via a brand new festive update. The free expansion, which apparently doubles the size of the game, features new environments located in China. We doubt you'll have much time to admire the splendours of the orient, though, as you'll be too busy blasting through the extended story m…
Clementine returns to iOS this week in The Walking Dead: Season Two
Telltale is poised to release the first episode of The Walking Dead: Season Two on iOS this week. With reviews of the console and Steam versions of the interactive zombie drama's second coming appearing all over the internet, we were naturally a little curious as to when it would shamble onto the App Store. Handily, Telltale answered our question via Twitter, revealing that iPhone and iPad owners will be able to continue Clementine's tale before the week is over. The Walking Dead: Season Two picks up a few months after the first series - and the expansion episode 400 Days - left off, with Clementine still trying to stay alive in a zombie-infested world. If you've already played t…
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Review
With both Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City already available on the App Store, it was only a matter of time before Rockstar's first journey to San Andreas got the touchscreen treatment. Completing the PS2-era trilogy, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was the biggest and most ambitious sandbox Rockstar had ever created. This '90s flavoured tale of street gangs and turf warfare was an enormous game, both in terms of geography and scope. It offered players the chance to…
Watch The Video ReviewTomb Raider I | Hands-On
During my daily trawl through the App Store's latest releases, I unearthed an ancient artifact of historical significance. Though it's not quite The Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant, the original Tomb Raider is an important chapter in the Big Book o' Videogames. It introduced the world to gaming's most recognisable female protagonist, Lara Croft. It was one of the first forays into the realm of full-3D platforming. And it's now available for your iPhone and iPad. To see how Core Design's classic action-adventure game holds up some 17 years after its release, I went hands-on with Square Enix's new iOS port. Here are the results: You can download Tomb Raider I for 69p / 99c r…
Visit ice planet Cryo in festive Junk Jack X update
Christmas has come early to block-based building bonanza Junk Jack X, with a new update adding a ton of festive content to the game. First off, players will notice the appearence of a new planet in the Junk Jack X universe. It's called Cryo, and it's covered in ice, so you'll want pour some anti-freeze on that gold-plated pickaxe. Ice isn't the only weather-related phenomenon you'll be dealing with, however. The update also brings with it a real time weather system, complete with rain and snow conditions. You won't be trudging through drizzle without a purpose, either. There are now additional objects to build and position, plus new block types and plants to discover. If the snow…

Vietnam in live-fire drill amid South China Sea row
Vietnam is holding live-fire drills in the South China Sea amid high tensions with China over disputed waters.
A Vietnamese naval officer said the "routine" drills were being held about 40km (25 miles) off central Quang Nam province, outside the disputed area.
Chinese state media denounced the exercises as a military show of force to defy Beijing.
The South China Sea includes important shipping routes and may contain rich oil and gas deposits.
The drills come within days of an escalation in the long-standing maritime border dispute between China and Vietnam.
Vietnam last month accused China of cutting the exploration cables of an oil survey ship. In a similar incident last week it said a Chinese fishing boat had "intentionally rammed" the exploration cables of another of its boats.
China said that its fishing boats were chased away by armed Vietnamese ships in the incident last Thursday.
The relationship between Vietnam and China has always been delicately balanced.
As communist states with rapidly developing economies they are in some ways natural allies.
But the dispute over sovereignty of the Spratly and Paracel islands has been a long-standing source of tension.
Several Asian nations claim territory within the South China Sea, an area rich in fish stocks, potential oil deposits and incorporating strategically important trade routes.
As chair of the regional grouping Asean last year, Hanoi actively promoted a multilateral approach to the problem.
But Beijing prefers to negotiate with individual states separately. China's increasingly muscular approach raises alarm bells, especially perhaps in Vietnam, which was once occupied by its northern neighbour.
More recently, in 1979, the two countries fought a border war. So this recent spat taps into a growing disquiet rooted in history.
The fishing net of one of the Chinese boats became tangled with the cables of an Vietnamese oil exploring vessel, which was operating illegally in the area, and was dragged for more than an hour before it was cut free, the Chinese foreign ministry said.
China accused Vietnam of "gravely violating" its sovereignty and warned it to stop "all invasive activities".
'Official sanction'The BBC's Southeast Asia correspondent Rachel Harvey says that military drills are not usually given such advance public prominence and the timing is extremely sensitive.
A Vietnamese naval officer said the "routine annual training" exercises have "nothing to do with the recent incidents involving China".
The first part of the nine-hour drill was held near the island of Hon Ong - well within Vietnamese territorial waters.
A second phase of live firing lasting about six hours is being staged at night, officials said. Shipping has been warned to stay clear of the area.
China has not commented officially on the naval exercises, but a newspaper controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, the Global Times, said the drills were "a military show of force to defy Beijing".
Demonstrations have been held in Hanoi for the second weekend in a row, calling for China to get out of Vietnam's territorial waters.
Demonstrations are not usually tolerated in Communist Vietnam, but the authorities appear to be allowing protests related to the South China Sea dispute, our correspondent says.
China is engaged in maritime border disputes with several countries.
The Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan also have rival claims in the area. The US has also expressed concern about China's rising naval ambitions.
