This document should get you up and running with a replicated PostgreSQL database in just a few steps. We'll gloss over many details in the interest of getting you up and running as quickly as possible. To make things simple, this document will use the sample cluster configuration found in the "bruce/sample" directory of the distribution. The example uses a single PostgreSQL installation with 4 databases.
bruce_config- This database contains the cluster configuration metadata. This includes cluster names and identifiers, master database uri's and descriptive names, slave database uri's and descriptive names, and regular expression patterns to determine which tables are replicated.
bruce_master- The master database. All modifications to replicated tables are made to this database and subsequently replicated to each slave.
bruce_slave_1- A slave database. All modifications to the master database are replicated here.
bruce_slave_2- A slave database. All modifications to the master database are replicated here.
The master and each slave have a
replication_test schema and a
replication_test.replicate_this table that we will replicate across the cluster.
Note: This demonstration makes the assumption that all replicated clusters in the schema contain identical data.
Automated Test
The steps in this guide are loosely followed in test/src/com/netblue/bruce/SetupClusterFromExistingDbAcceptanceTest.java
- Download latest build: insert build link here
tar xvzf bruce-0.1a.tgz
- Change scripts to be executable:
cd release/bin
chmod 755 *.sh
- Ensure you have database set up properly:
- create db bruce_config
- create db bruce_master
- create db bruce_slave_1
- create db bruce_slave_2
- create user bruce with access to all databases and ability to create database objects (NB: need to think about security in real life applications)
- create schema replication_test in bruce_master, bruce_slave_1 and bruce_slave_2
- create table replication_test.replicate_this in bruce_master, bruce_slave_1 and bruce_slave_2
Configure the node topology database urls:
cd $BRUCE/sample
vi config.xml(change db urls to point to your databases for each node)
Setup the node topology
cd $BRUCE/bin
./admin.sh -data ../sample/config.xml -initnodeschema -initsnapshots MASTER -loadschema -operation CLEAN_INSERT -url jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/bruce_config?user=bruce -pass bruce
Command line notes:
-data ../sample/config.xml tells us what data file to load. the sample file contains 1 master and 2 slaves with replication patterns to recognize the replication_test.* tables.
-initnodeschema tells us to install the replication schema on each node, along with the triggers for each replicated table. If the schema is already installed, then only the replication triggers are installed for each replicated table. For master nodes, if there is no data in the snapshotlog table (as in this case) a snapshot of the db is taken.
-initsnapshots MASTER tells us to set the slave snapshot status to the last snapshot in the master database. Since the -initnodeschema option initializes this for us, we'll use that.
-loadschema tells us to install the replication node topology schema on the configuration database. This is only really useful the first time you run the admin tool for a given configuration database.
-operation CLEAN_INSERT tells us to drop everything from the node topology configuration database before inserting these new nodes
-url is the URL for the configuration database
-pass is the password for the configuration database
Start up replication for the new cluster
- cd $BRUCE/bin
- ./startup.sh ClusterOne
Insert rows in master, confirm slave is updated
- psql bruce_master
- insert into replication_test.replicate_this (name, value) values ('One', 1);
- \c bruce_slave_1
- select * from replication_test.replicate_this
- \c bruce_slave_2
- select * from replication_test.replicate_this

Comments about Daisy Bee Womens Costume:
This costume was great! I bought it for all my college halloween parties and it was definitely a hit. The dress is super comfortable and while it was a bit short on me (I'm 5'3), all i needed were some black spandex type shorts underneath and it was perfect. I'm a bit busty so I definitely filled out the top part well, the rest of the costume fit perfectly too. Its great because it comes with everything so all the work is already done! perfect for a costume party and if you love attention!

Comments about Daisy Bee Womens Costume:
I just purchased this today after my Lady Bug costume didn't fit. The store was all sold out of extra small ones. So I decided to keep looking around for something similiar. I saw this Bumble Bee costume and saw that they had one extra small left and I decided to try it. Out of all the costumes I tried today I absolutely fell in love with it. It's a great fit!! If your weight is around 130lbs and under and your waist is somewhat small, be prepared to need an extra small for that tight, sexy fitting look. Small is ok, but it's a bit baggy around the waist for me. The outfit is the cutest thing ever, I tried it on again once I got home and didn't wanna take it off, I was buzzing around the house shaking my booty (thanks to the ballerina type skirt). It's also comfy. What I also love is that it comes with everything (dress, leg warmers, wings and head piece), the only thing you will need are shoes, the outfit comes complete for a great price.[$]online, in the store it's [$] but I didn't mind. I can't wait to go to my Halloween party next week and buzz around in my cute, sexy, flirty and fun costume :).

Comments about Boeshield T9 Liquid 1 Oz Bottle:
It is one of the best chain lubes on the market. It works best if you lube your chain the day before. This lets the lube dry some and repel dirt on your ride. I have gone on all day rides and I use to race cross country and I have never broken a chain with this lube. I have used others and broken a few chains in the past. I highly recommend this lube if you are lucky enough to find it.

Comments about Sixsixone Recon Glove 2012:
This is a decent glove for the price. It does what is is supposed to and keeps you connected to your grips and provides some level of protection for you hands in a crash. The mesh back is nice but while the description says they can be worn all year long I doubt these would do well in cold weather. They are not padded which is not an issue me as I am running thick grips and have small hands. These run a little small, my hand size is an 8 (small) and I can feel them compressing my fingers and I can barely get the straps securec.

Federal News Radio
Washington eyebrows rose when the CIA and the State Department awarded contracts worth $240 million dollars to Xe Services, formerly known as Blackwater.
The company is controversial because of a 2007 shooting incident in Baghdad involving Blackwater security guards that left 17 Iraqi civilians dead.
It has also received unfavorable mentions in Commission on Wartime Contracting reports.
What is the right course of action for agencies in dealing with companies that might be unpopular but submit favorable bids and are deemed capable of performing?
Steve Ryan is head of the government strategies group at McDermott Will & Emery, and a former federal prosecutor. He also is a former representative of Erik Prince, former head of Blackwater USA.
"The company is a company that has succeeded in doing its mission in Iraq and Afghanistan. They've never lost a [protected person] until the recent bombing at the CIA station in Afghanistan. . . . They do a very good job, but they are, indeed, controversial. It was not the U.S. Government that kicked them out of Iraq, but the Iraqi government. The fact that the U.S. Government still uses them in Afghanistan is a reflection that they're considered very good at their mission."
Currently, he said, Xe does go into procurement with a decidedly different and more negative reputation that other contractors because of the shooting in Nisour Square in Baghdad. Because of this, when Xe is chosen it means that they probably did have the best solution available.
"When you see that, you know that the contracting personnel knew that they would be criticized -- potentially -- for it . . . And that they have to be able to defend that judgement. It is an interesting business and being controversial is not what you want to be as a federal contractor. You want to be more milk toast, but it's not a milk toast business defending people in those countries."
Ryan explained that the award didn't happen in a vacuum.
"These kinds of decisions, when they perk up the line, are going to get some attention. On the other hand, I suspect if you've been to Iraq or Afghanistan as a Congressman, you've been protected by Xe. In other words, a lot of the congressional protection that has occurred is by them, and I think a lot of members have come back -- whatever their political persuasion or their concern about the Nansir Square issue -- they come back talking about the professionalism of the guards who defended them."
In addition to the name change, he said the company has brought in new supervisors and policies.
"You have a totally self-selected, volunteer force and, frankly, they have a lot of very good people to choose from. So, the personnel that they're offering really like that kind of a personal system that allows them, for example, to be home for a high school graduation and then be home again. . . . They get very good personnel. "
The public relations disasters happen when firing incidents occur. These have dropped dramatically, he said, after the new procedures and oversight were required.

Fight over military pension cuts to continue
Thursday - 12/26/2013, 12:14am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon's top civilian says it's time to tame burgeoning military personnel costs, but he's facing a test of wills with the nation's powerful veterans groups, which want no cut in their benefits.
Veterans groups are fighting curbs in annual pension increases for military retirees under age 62 that are part of the new budget deal passed by Congress last week and awaiting President Barack Obama's signature. After a barrage of protests from the military community, lawmakers said they'll review the cut next year and possibly reverse it. But Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday that reform of military compensation can't be avoided.
"We all know that we need to slow cost growth in military compensation," Hagel told a Pentagon press conference. "We know that many proposals will be controversial and unpopular. ... Tough decisions will have to be made."
Retirees want the belt-tightening done elsewhere.
Here's a look at what members of the U.S. armed forces get now and the debate:
Due to pay and benefit boosts in recent war years, officials and military analysts say compensation is competitive with the civilian sector -- and well above it when comparing people with similar education and experience.
For example, an Army private with fewer than two years of service and no dependents earns on average about $40,400 annually, said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nathan Christensen, a Defense Department spokesman. About two-thirds of that is base pay and the rest a housing allowance and a food allowance, with no taxes paid on the two allowances. An Army captain with six years of service and no dependents averages $93,800 annually.
Active duty military members also get all of their health care for free. Their spouses and children get free care at military treatment facilities. If dependents use a private doctor, dentist or pharmacy, they get the care through the department's TRICARE system, paying no premiums and no co-pays, said Austin Camacho, a system spokesman.
The force also gets what the Pentagon calls "quality of life" benefits, like help paying for continuing education, separate schools in some places for their children, commissaries where they buy food at an estimated 30 percent below retail prices and exchanges where they buy other deeply discounted goods like clothing and household items. Greatly discounted day care is available through the department's child development system, which officials say has grown to serve the largest number of kids daily among the nation's employers -- now that more than half of the 1.4 million-member force is married and they have 1.2 million children.
While serving, some are and some aren't able to build much of a retirement nest egg on their own. There's a savings plan, though there are no employer matching funds, and moving every two or three years due to reassignment can affect the service members' ability to build equity in their homes and the spouse's ability to build a career that brings in a good second income.
The military retirement system is unfair and costly. Only 17 percent of service members -- those who serve 20 years -- get pensions, the Pentagon says. Most people don't stay that long, meaning 83 percent who serve less than two decades get no retirement pay.
But someone who enters the military at age 18 and stays 20 years starts drawing pension checks worth half their base salary immediately at age 38 -- rather than having to wait until their 60s -- and gets the payments for life. It's a practice without parallel in the private sector, though some government agencies such as city police departments do it.
Critics say 40 years of pension for 20 years of work is overly generous, but retirees say they deserve it for doing risky jobs that are tough on them and their families and that the overwhelming majority of Americans don't volunteer for.
A Navy Chief Petty Officer who earned $80,000 a year, is married and served for 20 years can immediately get a pension of about $2,200 monthly that would grow with cost-of-living increases. He or she can get free health care at military facilities on a space-available basis and can continue using commissaries -- the latter two benefits being a reason some retirees like to live near military installations, officials say. Those who enroll in TRICARE insurance for private sector care can pick between two plans, paying only $274 annually for an individual or $548 for the family for the standard plan, far below civilian insurance costs.

Working in retail isn't for the faint of heart, according to Carlyn Claiborne.
The New Bridge Organic Market employee has worked in retail for seven years. Her first job out of high school was at a lingerie chain and she later worked at a home and body fragrance shop then "kind of bounced around in retail."
Before starting work at the market, Claiborne said she didn't want to work in retail again.
"It's hard dealing with the public on a daily basis," she said.
But she opted to apply anyway because she shopped at the store, lives an organic lifestyle and wanted to help people learn about products she was familiar with.
"This job is more than just selling. I've been able to really create personal relationships with customers," she told The Daily News in between customers.
Claiborne said that she and her customers learn from each other, whether it's about products, natural healing or about the customers.
Claiborne is just one of the millions working in retail in the U.S. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 4.34 million people worked as retail salespersons in May 2012, making it the largest occupation in the country. It's also the largest in Onslow County, with nearly 22 percent of the employed population in 2012 working in retail trade, according to the Onslow County Industry and Wages annual report.
For Linda Davis, working in retail was a life change. She was about to retire as a computer analyst for the government when she decided to take a hobby and turn it into a business. She opened the Tail Spinner 11 ½ years ago and now shares her passion for spinning, weaving, knitting, crocheting, felting and other fiber arts and crafts with customers five days a week.
"We're preserving some historical art forms and also something people have always loved to do, which is knitting and crochet," she said.
And while Davis says helping someone learn a new craft is a lot of fun, it's not as fun as when the project ends.
"Seeing the final product when someone sees it and knowing that I helped them is just something great," she said.
Davis said she's been lucky since most of her customers are "exceptionally nice people."
"I have not had a rude customer hardly, there might be one or two but they're so few and far between," she said. Most of the people who have visited our shop are just the nicest people, I am very fortunate in that."
For Amanda Semple, assistant manager of Peebles in Jacksonville, working in retail was an easy choice. When she started there nine years ago, other businesses were paying $5.15 an hour and Peebles was paying $6.
"They were paying more and they were flexible with my school schedule, the people who come and shop here are really nice," she said.
Semple said she also worked at a pretzel shop until she was promoted to a full-time position with the store and could focus on her one job.
She said she likes to get to know the store's customers and for them to leave the store with the smile.
"I like doing customer service, making people happy … getting to know them personally, know them by their name. That's how it is here, other stores you don't get to do that because so many people come in," she said.
Davis said that the key to working in retail is to provide good customer service.
"If you treat them with respect, likewise they come back to that," she said, explaining that she tries to be helpful and provide a special touch or help whenever she can. "I think that makes a big difference."
Semple said that customers should keep in mind that, even when the customer is frustrated, retail employees will try their best to make sure you leave the store happy.
"We're trying to make you happy. We will do anything to accommodate you, The customer is always right ... it's true," she said.
While Claiborne now has what she considers an "open-minded" and "compassionate" customer base, that wasn't always the case.
She remembers other jobs where working with customers left her exhausted at the end of the day. Claiborne said that there are many things that people do without thinking of the effects on others, like retail employees.
"It's hard as an employee to provide excellent customer service when you aren't necessarily receiving that," she said.
Claiborne said that her mom always told her to treat others like she wanted to be treated, and that some may forget that when they "get into their daily grind."
Claiborne said that those considering work in retail may be surprised.
"People get very irrational when they want something; luckily here it's completely different," she said. "It might not be physically exhausting but it's mentally exhausting."

Ergorapido 2in1 – the pregnant battery-powered vacuum cleaner
Article Summary
No, it's not really a pregnant vacuum cleaner, it's the latest AEG Ergorapido 2 in 1 – a battery-operated vacuum with a hand-held mini-vacuum in the handle that home appliance manufacturer AEG is showing at this year's IFA in Berlin. The pick-of-the-litter is the EUR 210 (USD$300) Ergorapido plus which has an 18-volt lithium ion rechargeable battery and outperforms its sister models by 20%, enabling around 30 minutes of cleaning.

DEEP RUN — For a handful of possessions Tuesday South Lenoir's girls went toe-to-toe with Kinston.
Then the Vikings put on the pressure.
Monique Lofton scored 21 points and Kinston's full-court press forced the Blue Devils into 44 turnovers in its 57-25 victory to sweep the two-game non-league series this season.
Lydia Rivers added 11 points and a team-best seven rebounds for the Vikings (4-0), who trailed 5-4 2 minutes in but used a 7-0 run once they went to a press to take control and never looked back.
"I thought we guarded the ball really well. Our one-on-one defense was great," Kinston coach Hubert Quinerly said.
While South Lenoir found it hard to get the ball across midcourt at times, Lofton made scoring the basketball look easy.
The senior guard hit three 3s, and when the 3-point shot wasn't there, she became a slasher to keep the Blue Devils honest.
The inside-out combo of Lofton and Rivers paired with Kinston's interior defense — the Vikings held South Lenoir's post players to a combined single point and seven rebounds — were a recipe for its fourth straight win.
"(Lofton) put in a lot of hours by working out twice a day in the summer mornings and afternoons. She's not just a shooter anymore. Her game has evolved and that's good for us," Quinerly said.
Parrott Academy transfer Heather West gave the Blue Devils 10 points and nine rebounds and Caroline Jones added nine points and five rebounds. But South Lenoir had too many one-shot-and-done possessions when it didn't turn it over whereas Kinston had 13 second-chance points on 17 offensive rebounds.
"It's hard to win when your big guys get held to a single point," South Lenoir coach Donald Mooring said. "Still, I thought the girls played hard and kept fighting."
With yet another representative from a big-time college basketball program in attendance to see Kinston's Brandon Ingram, the sophomore surely didn't disappoint.
The 6-foot-7 guard dropped 27 points and grabbed eight rebounds in a game that was never close after the first few minutes.
Turnovers also doomed the Blue Devils boys, who had the privilege of hosting UNC assistant Steve Robinson, who was down to scout Ingram. They had 26 turnovers to Kinston's 12.
Denzel Keyes added 12 points and seven boards and Darnell Dunn scored 10 points for Kinston, which hosts West Craven on Friday.
Ishmael Baldwin led the Blue Devils (2-2) with 12 points and Dion Jones added 11. Jaquan Wooten had 11 rebounds and six points for South Lenoir, which travels to North Lenoir on Friday.
N.C. State head men's basketball coach Mark Gottfried was in attendance to watch Ingram in his season opener on the eve of Thanksgiving.
In addition to Robinson being in attendance to see Ingram, former Kinston sharpshooter Andrew Lopez was in attendance to see his former — and new — team.
Lopez, who helped the Vikings win the state 2A title last season, has transferred back to Kinston after leaving last summer for Texas. Lopez, who said he moved back with his mother on Saturday, can begin practicing with his newest teammates today and will be able to play on Dec. 19 at West Craven, he said.

"TomTom takes the art of satellite navigation to a new level" according to T3 magazine
Jun 06 2006
"TomTom takes the art of satellite navigation to a new level" according to T3 magazine
"How do you improve an outstanding range of satnavs? TomTom believes that by giving its latest device a wide four-inch touchscreen and 20 GB hard disk it will blow the rest away. It's not wrong!" According to T3 magazine the new TomTom GO 910 is amazing and due to all the new improvements the TomTom GO 910 receives the T3 Gold award. "The GO 910's design is unmistakably TomTom…Although it boasts a larger screen than its predecessor the GO 700, the unit is actually smaller overall. That's pretty amazing when you consider it's housing a 20 GB hard disk." T3 continues: "…the main improvement in use is the addition of text-to-speech, so the navigator reads out full road names instead of just advising 'turn right'." T3 concludes its article by saying that with all these interesting features:"you'll struggle to find a better satnav… TomTom has pushed the boundaries even further… A must-have."

BIOGRAPHYRyan Going graduated from North Carolina State University in 2009 with BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics. In 2010 he completed his MPhil in Micro- and Nanotechnology Enterprise at the University of Cambridge as a Gates Cambridge scholar. He is currently working on his PhD under Prof. Ming Wu, focusing on silicon photonics and photodetectors.
Ultra-Sensitive Photodetectors on Silicon Photonics [BPN609]As CMOS devices shrink in physical size, electrical interconnects between the devices will consume an ever-greater
proportion of total chip power. A promising solution is to use silicon photonics for intra- and inter-chip communications. To be
cost effective, both the optical transmitter and receiver should be made small, highly efficient, and CMOS compatible.
Shrinking the photodiode will increase sensitivity and energy efficiency, but as it gets very small, the capacitance of the wire
to the first amplifying stage in the receiver becomes significant. We present a solution which integrates the photodiode and
first stage transistor in the form of an integrated germanium phototransistor. The rapid melt growth technique is used to
integrate high quality single crystal germanium onto a silicon waveguide integrated device in a CMOS process. Bipolar gain
combined with extremely compact device dimensions produces high-speeed, high-sensitivity receivers which operate at 1550
nm on a silicon photonics platform.

SPAN Field Tile Patterns- Squares
Last week we announced our newest collection of field tile patterns called SPAN (to go along with our Lineal & Slice Collections of Borders) and showed you SPAN patterns using laNeva's rectangular tiles. Some fun layouts were included with our favorite being the 3 pattern options using our 1×6 liner. Fab-u-lous!
As promised, we are following up with the squares. It's hip to be square (had to throw that in there!) and we see a huge resurgence in the market for square tiles. So without further delay, we bring to you:
SPAN Collection – Squares
All pattern drawings show one square foot of each layout. For those of you super-savy readers (of which you ALL are!) note that the patterns on the left and right of each tile size are the same with the left shown as a horizontal running bond and the right, vertical.
And a laNeva insider- update for people who read to the end of each post:
Within the coming week, you'll see a few changes to the laNeva site, with our new collections (including this one) added to the "Our Tiles" tab. Have questions? Check out the FAQ's or contact us for more details. We love to hear from laNeva Tile fans!

Transportation: They Say We Had a Revolution (Part 3)
This lesson printed from:
Posted February 5, 2008
Grades: 6-8, 9-12
Author: Patricia Bonner
Posted: February 5, 2008
Updated: May 15, 2014
Advancements in transportation have played a key role in the growth of our nation. U.S. government policies have also had a considerable impact on the development of transport as we know it today. In this series of three lessons, the students examine transportation and its impact on our nation (and vice versa) since the United States declared its independence in 1776. Lesson 1 focuses on improvements in transportation during the 19th century, particularly the development of a national rail system, to show how invention, innovation and infrastructure encouraged western expansion and economic growth. Lesson 2 moves on to the 20th century focusing on the development of auto transport and aviation. The impact on communities and world trade, for both good and bad,is examined. Lesson 3 calls upon the students to create a class timeline of transportation milestones; the timeline will help the students more clearly understand the factors, especially the economic incentives, that have played a key role in what has been called the "Transportation Revolution." While these three lessons will ideally be used together as a set, teachers may choose to use one or two of them, selectively, to focus, for example, on the 19th or the 20th century. If you would like your students to study the economics of transportation in more depth, consider following up with the EconEdLink lesson,An Economic Mystery: What Happened to Railroads?
Competition, Incentive, Innovation, Inventors, Investment, Profit, Profit Motive, Property Rights, Role of Government, Technological Changes
- Explain how economic incentives encouraged technological change and the capital investments that led to the Transportation Revolution.
- Explore advancements in transportation, identifying ways in which they transformed trade and promoted economic growth in the United States.
- Create a timeline illustrating advancements in transportation technology that have occurred since the U.S. declared its independence in 1776.
Part 3
Note to Teachers: Before you begin this lesson, you will need to do some preliminary work on the class timeline as described in the resource section.
On the board, write the statement, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Ask the students what they think this statement means. [A visual image can convey as much meaning as a thousand words]
Show the students the poster of "Early Transportation Milestones" and tell them that it is a chart of some of the earliest known advancements that have contributed to transport as we know it today. All of these events occurred long before the events explored in lessons 1 and 2.
How might we represent this chart visually so it is easier to understand?
[A timeline with images reflecting the milestones.]
What would be the advantage of a timeline?
[A timeline provides a graphic perspective on the amount of time that occurred between milestones. The images would provide a visual representation that is more easily comprehended than text.]
In this lesson you are going to create posters for a class timeline that will graphically present transportation milestones. This timeline and your posters will help us see how the inventions, innovations and investments in infrastructure that comprise what is called the "Transportation Revolution" unfolded. You are also going to explore the role of incentives. Incentives helped spur crucial developments in transportation.
Direct the students' attention to the timeline framework and the posters you have put up in your classroom or school corridor. Show them the sample poster for the steam engine (1781), which will serve as a model for their posters. To encourage consistency, tell them that a template is provided as a Microsoft Word document in the lesson for their use.
Give the students additional directions as necessary. Distribute the slips of paper with the transportation milestones you have selected for them.
You will need to decide in advance how you want to organize your students' contributions to the timeline. You can have students work individually or in teams of 2-3 students. This list identifies transportation milestones that could be used as themes for the posters. The milestones with an asterisk (*) are particularly well-suited to the objectives of the lesson and provide a fairly well-rounded perspective of the Transportation Revolution. Edit the list so that it works within your time constraints and your approach to the task. Note: If your students are focusing on the 19th century (covered in the first lesson), you will want to limit your list accordingly. The same holds true if you are limiting study to the 20th century (featured in the second lesson).
Once you have decided which events to use, cut the appropriate slips from the left column of the list for distribution to individual students or student teams. The right column is for your eyes only. It provides background information to help you highlight key points and address issues that your students may miss, and assess student effort.
Cut a piece of blank white paper that is at least 2 1/2-feet wide and 25 feet long. Using a wide black marker, draw a horizontal line across the middle of the paper. At one-foot intervals on the line, draw short vertical lines, each representing a ten-year time span. Above these shorter lines, add date labels. Start with 1780 and end with 2010. Post the timeline in your classroom or a school corridor.
Note to teachers: If you are limiting your timeline to the 19th or 20th century, the length of paper can be reduced accordingly.
Download, print out, and post the already prepared posters below:
These will allow you to illustrate:
- Maps of the United States and its territories between 1775 and 1920
- Select historical events for example, the Declaration of Independence, the World Wars, and the 1973 OPEC oil embargo
- Notable federal legislation relevant to transportation
- Basic research advances and resource discoveries that contributed to transportation milestones; for example, the battery, tunneling equipment, reinforced concrete, dynamite, and the discovery of oil.
- Completion of the Suez Canal in 1869 and the Panama Canal in 1914.
These events will help students understand the interrelationship between advancements in transportation, government actions and other key historical events.
Here is an example of how the timeline might be organized using the milestones denoted by an asterisk (*) on the list. Separate timelines are provided for the 19th and 20th centuries, but they can easily be combined for a longer perspective.
If school policy allows, an alternative method for creating the timeline is to attach two rows of sticky Velcro hook and loop tape that are 25 feet long. Mount posters on tag board or manila folders and use small pieces of Velcro to attach items to the strips on the wall. If you are doing this activity with several classes and want each class to have its own timeline, you can easily remove the posters from one class in preparation for the next class. On the other hand, there are enough milestones so that you can distribute different milestones to different classes yielding a much more comprehensive timeline.
The students are provided a sample poster and template as part of the instructions in their version of the lesson. They can use the template as a starting point then save their work to the computer they are working on or to a computer disk. They will require access to a printer. A color printer is nice but not necessary.
Another nice touch is offering tag board or manila folders that can be cut to size and used as a mounting surface for the posters. Consider color-coding the background mats to further enhance the timeline. Black might be used for technological advances of a general nature, for example, reinforced concrete, the internal combustion engine and plastic; brown might highlight shipping; green might signal the railroad industry; blue might be the background to aviation firsts; red might indicate vehicles used on the road as well as other forms of personal transport.
You will need tape or small pieces of Velcro to attach each poster to the timeline.
Students are provided an index of web links. These web sites will provide most of the information they need to create their posters.
- Explain that some of the advancements and improvements the students are researching have their roots in ancient history. They should examine this list of inventions from ancient history to see if there are any connections with their research topics.

In their version of the lesson, the students are instructed to research the event on the slips of paper you have given them and to prepare a poster that they can use to tell others what they have discovered. Components to be included on the poster are:
When. Place the year in which the event occurred at the top of your poster. Other important details related to the time of occurrence can be included in the text at the bottom of the page.
What. Below the year, create a heading of 1-5 words that summarizes the event.
Who. Identify the individual or people who were the key parties involved in the event. This might include an individual inventor, an aviator, a group of investors, a business, a government unit or a mix of these.
Where. Note the nation (and state, if known) where the event occurred. Include other details on locale in the text at the bottom of the poster.
Why. In a few words, tell why the event was important.
Additional information. At the bottom of the poster, provide a few comments that offer more details concerning the event. This type of information would be appropriate:
- Identify the event as invention, innovation, or improvement in infrastructure.
- Tell how the invention, innovation or infrastructure changed the movement of people and goods. For example, did it make transport faster, cheaper, safer or more comfortable?
- Explain the economic incentives associated with the event.
- Explain how the event connects with other notable advancements in technology and transportation.
Have the students follow the directions provided in their version of the lesson. Some students will finish more quickly than others. They might do the following:
- Help other students who need assistance with the technical elements of creating the posters.
- Help you prepare the timeline and attach posters as they are completed.
- Create additional posters illustrating communication events as described in Extension Activity 1.
When the students have completed their posters, gather them together for a class discussion. Direct their attention to the timeline. Call out the first transportation milestone and ask the student(s) with the corresponding event to briefly summarize its significance. Repeat this process with other events on the timeline.
As you proceed, ask questions that help students see how the events build on each other. For example, the steam locomotive and steamboat were both dependent on the invention of the steam engine. The construction of the transcontinental railroad was dependent on innovations in bridge and tunnel building. And the reinforced concrete bridge was dependent on the development of concrete and reinforced concrete.
Assessment is based on the Transportation Milestone posters created by students. Adjust and weight this rubric to fit your specific evaluation needs.
After all the students presented their posters, discuss the project overall:
1. Some of you researched inventions and innovations that have roots much earlier in history. What are some examples? [There are many possible answers, for example, the battery, which can be traced back to 200 B.C.]
2. What milestones surprised you? Why? [Answers will vary.]
3. What motivated the many improvements in transportation on the timeline?
[As the students respond, summarize their answers on the board. Potential responses include curiosity, adventure, fun creating something new or different, prize money, convenience, comfort, expansion/protection of markets, access to new resources, national defense, reducing production costs, return on financial instruments (such as stocks and bonds), profit on the sale of goods or services, payments on the right to use a patented idea.]
- Which of these incentives are economic?
[As the students identify items from the list, circle the responses that are correct. Point out that economic incentives are often crucial to technological advancements and improvements in infrastructure.]
- Sometimes government uses economic incentives and other policies to encourage the development of technology. How did local, state and federal governments encourage the Transportation Revolution?
[Many answers are possible. One of the most obvious was the provision of land and government-backed loans to encourage the building of the transcontinental railroad. Postal contracts, highway construction/public transport projects, and funding and tax deductions for research are all examples of how government directly and indirectly encouraged progress. Throughout the history of the United States, patent and property laws have also been important as they protect the rights of inventors and investors. A recent economic incentive has been the provision of tax credits as an economic incentive to encourage people to purchase hybrid motor vehicles. On the other hand, gas taxes can be used to discourage the use of petroleum-based fuels (an example of a negative incentive) and promote increased use of public transport.]
4. From an economic perspective, what do you consider the most important transportation milestones on the timeline? Why?
[Answers will vary. A common response for the 19th century is the building of the transcontinental rails which promoted westward expansion, specialization, and economic growth. During the 20th century, the automobile and the interstate highway system have had both positive and negative consequences. On one hand, it has created many new jobs, in the manufacturing and servicing of motor vehicles, the building and maintaining of roads, the tourism industry, etc. Less welcome consequences include economic pressures on declining cities and the nation's increased dependence on foreign oil.]
5. A benefit of a timeline is that it helps us see how quickly or slowly change occurs. Once a new means of harnessing power was found, how long did it take for people to apply it to a mode of transportation?
[For the steam engine and internal combustion engine, it only took about 20 years. Electric power took much longer and has not reached its full potential. At present, it is not clear whether solar power will play an important role in everyday transport. Nuclear power appears to be limited to very expensive modes of transport such as space vehicles and ships.]
6. What milestones on the timeline do you think are setting the stage for future transport?
[Answers will vary. Electric and solar cars may be viewed as more fuel-efficient, environmentally-friendly modes of personal transport. The tiltrotor aircraft, which is presently used only by the military might lead to an entirely new form of personal transport that can lift and fly from place to place. Japan's bullet train has demonstrated the potential for high-speed rail service. The space shuttle offers the possibility for everyday travel beyond the earth.]
The use of fuels other than petroleum as a power source for motor vehicles has been an issue of keen interest as our nation moved from the 20th to 21st century. The students may research the promise and challenge of these alternative fuels for motor vehicles and then predict which alternative fuels will power the automobiles of the future. Two Wikipedia articles below can help the students to identify current concerns and the alternative fuels that may someday prove to be valuable:
The Future of the Car
Alternative Fuel Cars
- The Future of the Car
- Paralleling the developments in transportation have been improvements in Wikipedia: Alternative Fuel Cars communication. One might think of communication advancements as "vehicles" through which one particular kind of product, information, is transported. The speedy exchange information is vital to market competition and economic growth. Have the students add communication milestones to their transportation timeline. They may include items related to the U.S. Postal Service, the telegraph, telephone, radio, television, the Internet, etc. These web links can help the students get started:
- History of the U.S. Postal Service http://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postal-history/welcome.htm
The History of Communication
- History of Communication http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_communication#Communication_between_human]

|It's No Joke - April "Pools" Day Will Help Save Lives
The event, April Pools Day, is a water safety awareness program held every year on April 1st as a play on words with April Fools Day. It's designed to remind homeowners and others about water safety as they prepare for pool season.
Florida leads the nation in drowning deaths for children under 5 years old. In Pinellas County, St. Petersburg leads in the number of incidents of preventable drowning. St. Petersburg averages one drowning/near drowning per year in the 33703 zip code alone. Since 2005, there have been 10 incidents in this zip code. They all took place in a backyard pool and were all preventable.
This year's event focused on Venetian Isles, one of the neighborhoods in the 33703 zip code. This neighborhood has experienced three drowning/near drowning incidents during the past five years. This neighborhood has 338 residential swimming pools and all of the homes are on a canal. During the event, volunteers distributed pool safety Information to more than 400 homes in this neighborhood.
"I can promise you that what you are doing today is going to help save a life." said St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster, who joined with other volunteers visiting homes in the neighborhood.
No one understands the importance of this event more than Jenna DeVito-Roisum, a parent advocate for drowning prevention who lost a toddler to a backyard pool drowning in 2007.
"My goal is that no other family has to go through what my family has gone through," she said. "I want water safety to be an everyday event. We teach our children how to cross the road and buckle up in a car. I want water safety to be an all the time reminder, too. I think today's event is amazing. I am so excited that so many people have joined together to get the word out."

France's Actions Promoting Women's Rights and Equality
France's Actions Promoting Women's Rights and Equality
Women's rights are one of the top priorities of France's external action in the area of respect for and protection of human rights. France is particularly attached to compliance with and implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW - 1979) and the optional protocol thereto, and texts from the Cairo Conference on Population and Development (1994) and the Beijing Conference on Women (Beijing Declaration and Programme of Action, 1995).
Multilateral and Regional Actions
At the United Nations:
France, which is active in the advocacy and promotion of women's rights in international arenas, contributed to the adoption of the Security Council's "Women, Peace and Security" resolutions. These resolutions (resolutions 1325, 1820, 1888, 1889, 1960) call on States to increase the protection of women during conflicts and to increase the participation of women in peace talks and decision-making processes. In this respect, it supports the action conducted by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General responsible for the fight against sexual violence in conflicts.
At the instigation of France, a working group tasked with the issue of discrimination against women in legislation and practice was created during the 15th session of the Human Rights Council in 2010 to complement the existing system. It was set up in May 2011.
Finally, France supported the creation of UN Women, of which it was a member of the Board of Directors in 2011 and with which it is developing several cooperation actions.
From a national standpoint, France adopted a national action plan for the implementation of "Women, Peace and Security" resolutions in October 2010. It sets concrete objectives for the government: training staff involved in women's rights issues, increasing the direct participation of women and protecting women from violence.
In the European Context
Within the European Union, in the extension of the "Guidelines on violence against women and the fight against all forms of discrimination against them", adopted in 2008 under the French Presidency, France supports the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs' priority of promoting women's rights in the EU's external relations.
France played an active part in developing the Council of Europe Convention to prevent and combat violence against women and domestic violence, of which it is one of the first signatories (May 2011) and of which the ratification procedure is under way.
France adopted a "Gender and Development" strategy in 2007 and an action plan for the empowerment of women in Africa in 2009 for a three-year period. The philosophy of action behind France's cooperation is based on twomain lines: respecting human rights and concern for greater aid effectiveness through 1) political advocacy 2) support for specific actions promoting equality and 3) transverse integration of the gender in all sectors of activity.
Accordingly, in partnership with UN Women, France has set up a programme combating violence (€1.5M over three years) in the Arab world (Algeria, Jordan, Morocco) and Sub-Saharan Africa (Cameroon, Mali, Niger) and a programme for women to access the justice system in Afghanistan (€500,000). It is also funding two junior expert positions at the UN Women headquarters.
In the context of the Muskoka G8 (2010), France has committed to investing an additional €500M over five years (2011-2015) in the combat against maternal and infant mortality in 16 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Haiti and Afghanistan. France's position is to combine a health approach with a rights approach, without which policies on maternal health access are not effective. Partnerships have been established with several United Nations agencies (United Nations Population Fund, UN Women, UNICEF, World Health Organization). The financial commitment with the United Nations is €19M per year for five years, €1M of which per year is with UN Women for consideration of the gender and the combat against violence in maternal health programmes.
France is also conducting a programme promoting the economic empowerment of women in six West African countries (Mali, Niger, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin) with a €3M "gender and economics" Priority Solidarity Fund for 2009-2012.
Some of the other projects developed by France include:
Education for girls and the fight against gender-based violence at school in Francophone Africa: Programmes with UNICEF in Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso (€3,30M, 2012-2013).
A "Gender and social cohesion" cooperation programme, on employment for youth and young women in Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, in partnership with the International Labour Office (€500,000, 2012-2013), in the process of validation.
A working group on "girls in development policies": two seminars are planned in 2012 on our methodological approaches and a conference is scheduled on 11 October 2012, for International Girls Day.
Support for French and French language expertise in gender and development through the "gender and development" platform and the "Gender in Action Network". http://www.genreenaction.net/.

Amazing Save-The-Dates
A friend of mine recommended magnetStreet after I got engaged. We had a long engagement and I had almost forgotten her recommendation. It hit me one day after searching high and low for customizable designs and I'm so glad it did! The website was so easy to navigate, the designs were perfect, the cost was TOTALLY within our budget and the customizing was SO EASY! And they turned out better than I could ever imagine! I can't wait to get my sample invitations!
Wonderful Quality, Wonderful Price...and Fast!
I loved the fact that I could customize this product. There were lots of templates to choose from, all well designed. My only qualm was the size of the photos. I did have to resize my photos to fit and I wish the photo boxes were a little bigger given the size of the post cards. The size of the postcard however does make your save the date stand out from others; I have 3 other friends with similar but smaller post cards hanging on my fridge. Other than that, this product was just what I wanted for my wedding theme. And I literally received the product in a week of ordering. Fast, convenient, tasteful.
Love it!
I was picking a Save-the-Date because we have not done engagement photos yet and found one that was so unique and I was able to customize the colors to make it exactly what I want. I ordered it and it showed up quicker than I anticipated. I only wish it was clear that a large postcard doesn't allow you to use a postcard stamp. But all in all I love what I got!
Outstanding delivery and presentation
I would have liked to personalize the design a little more (different fonts, remove dots, etc.) but I had a time crunch and paid extra to receive it in 3-5 days. I got it in like 2 days (it shipped in 2 days, the design took a few more). It had a standard package and then a cute box on the inside, closed by magnet. Then the save-the-date postcards were bound by adorable velcro bands and wrapped in tissue paper. It was so tastefully done and everything came in excellent timing and condition.
I have never written a review of a product online but I must for this product and this company. I am having a winter wedding and styled it with eggplant and silver accents. I loved the size as it made the text larger, it's very sturdy and it only required a standard stamp to ship. I have received many, many compliments from the recipients of the save the dates. MagnetStreet has been so timely and the quality is amazing, for sure doing my invites through them!

A river is a large stream of water that flows in a channel toward a lake, ocean or sea. Usually consisting of freshwater, the water in rivers can come from precipitation, surface runoff, springs, glacial melting, groundwater discharge, or a blend of these processes. While most rivers flow on the surface of the Earth, some flow in caves and caverns; these are known as subterranean rivers. Rivers are a key component in various planetary cycles.
Rivers have been a crucial part of life on Earth since time immemorial. They serve as ecosystems for fish, plants, bacteria and other wildlife. Humans and animals alike use them as sources of drinking water, bathing and food. Humans also use rivers as energy sources in the way of hydropower and as major passageways of transport or navigation. Rivers have even had political influence — many have served as borders of countries and the landforms often act as defensive measures in theaters of war.
Rivers are currently in a state of crisis for several reasons. Building dams and levees help humans but they impair life in the riverine ecosystems and disrupt planetary processes. As a result, many rivers have degraded and some no longer reach the oceans they once did. Moreover, pollution from a variety of sources has diluted (and in some cases, even poisoned) the water that rivers carry. This has harmed the populations found inside rivers and the humans who drink from them. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons)

Dear Carla,
We have a 4-year-old mixed breed dog named Stella who we adopted nine months ago from a shelter. Our problem is that she steals clothing and runs off to her bed with it. If we try to take the things away she usually runs from us, but the other day she growled at my husband when he approached. We are afraid the growling is going to escalate into something worse. Help!
- Stella's Family
Dear Family,
Doggie thieves are motivated by one of two things; they are trying to engage you in a game of chase or the item they steal is highly valued and must be protected. It sounds like Stella falls into the latter category which makes her a "resource guarder." A resource can be anything a dog decides is important. It is not unusual for a dog to guard a bone or special toy, but items with an owner's scent can also be highly valued.
The first order of business is to ensure everyone's safety. When Stella steals something, do not yell, punish or challenge her. This will make her more inclined to fight for her possession. Resource guarding behaviors can quickly escalate to aggression and bites. Instead, try one of the following methods:
1. Trade her for wonderful treats. This is your best shot at getting your item of clothing back unharmed because she will willingly give it up. If a dog is seriously growling and snarling, I will toss several of the treats across the floor and hope they get up to retrieve them. While they are working to get every last piece I take the object back.
2. Use a favorite toy as for the trade. Some dogs are more motivated by a toy than treats. Use the same technique described above except toss the toy away from her to entice her to get up and leave the object behind. Continue to play with her for awhile after you have retrieved your clothing.
3. Try to divert her attention with some other activity. Does she love to go for walks or ride in the car? If so, invite her to go on an outing. Be sure to follow through or this won't work the next time.
Fixing this problem will require a combination of management and training. Keep your clothes picked up so she can't steal anything. Make sure she gets enough mental and physical exercise; a tired dog is a good dog. Lastly, train her to "take" and "drop" on cue. Start with objects she will easily relinquish and gradually move to objects she values more.
