On Friday I started working on an outline for the spec that my partner and I are doing. That is to say, I sat at my computer for an hour and thought about the show and where we could take it. I looked over the pilot script that I had, broke that down, and then put it away. The pilot is a very general document, it's not the law of the show.
This is my first project since college with a partner. Writing with one can be very rewarding, challenging, and also disappointing. My experience over this last week has been the former rather then the latter. As we've started as friends and are only a few days into this exercise, things pop up, we get distracted together, but we pull back into it just as easy. It's important to make sure you both have the same motivation level, or you'll find yourself in that disappointed category.
What's also great about having a partner is you share the work. We outlined an idea together and now she'll write out a draft this week and we'll take a look at it next weekend. Then if it's a workable draft, i'll do a pass on it. And back and forth until it's polished. If it's not, then we start again. All in all, it gets us one step closer to a spec.

Johannesburg — THE industrial action by more than 220 000 workers in the South African metal and engineering sectors has received wide support from other unions and the mother federation.
The strike, organised by National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA), received backing from the country's federation - the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM).
In a statement, NUM General Secretary, Frans Baleni, said the Numsa strike was genuine and would address the eagerly-awaited living wage.
"The NUM supports NUMSA in their fight to close the apartheid wage gap, fighting for equity in the workplace and demanding a living wage," he said.
"As the NUM, we are saying that it is important for the working class to continue fighting for a living wage because they are among the most oppressed and exploited proletarians in the world.
"It is important for the working class to continue fighting for better salaries and better working conditions," Baleni said.
The NUMSA strike started on Tuesday morning and escalated across Cape Town, Durban, East London, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Pretoria.
NUMSA is demanding a 12 percent wage increment and equality at the workplace.
The union is also against the issue of labour brokers.

Jaguars only team in NFL without preseason sack
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP)
Defensive line coach Joe Cullen kept several players late after practice Tuesday.
None of them complained. After all, it's easy to argue that the Jacksonville Jaguars need the extra work.
The Jaguars are the only NFL team without a sack in the preseason. Coach Jack Del Rio insists it's not cause for alarm, pointing out that they played the first three exhibitions without starter Aaron Kampman and have played without Jeremy Mincey, Terrance Knighton and Tyson Alualu.
But no sacks? In the preseason? Even against second- and third-team offenses?
''It is kind of weird,'' Mincey said. ''This is the first team I've ever been on that didn't have a sack in the preseason. I don't think you can quite judge us off that yet. Guys are still getting used to each other. One comes up, one goes down. We've just got to get our synchronization and they'll start coming. Hopefully they'll come in bunches this week.''
The Jaguars have one final shot at avoiding a sackless preseason. They host quarterback Sam Bradford and the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night.
Del Rio expressed more concern about his team's lack of preseason scoring - outscored 46-22 in the first half against New England, Atlanta and Buffalo - than its lack of defensive pressure.
The Jaguars got decent pressure against the Patriots and Falcons but barely touched Bills quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tyler Thigpen. Fitzpatrick completed 11 of 12 passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns, and finished with a perfect QB rating (158.3).
''You can't sugarcoat Buffalo,'' said Kampman, who will make his preseason debut against the Rams. ''We did not rush as well as we had the week before. That wasn't great, but here we have an opportunity Thursday and obviously we'll be looking forward to trying to remedy that situation.''
Even if they don't, Del Rio won't panic.
''It's going to get written off the minute this last preseason game is over,'' Del Rio said. ''You can talk about it for another week, then nobody really cares. When you're going to care is when you get into the regular season. Is the quarterback on his back? Are you getting off the field on third down?
''Right now, you can think you have everything solved, you can feel great about it or you can be pulling your hair out because it's not going the way you want. But the reality is we're preparing for a season. That season will be here shortly. We know the things that we need to get accomplished across the board as a football team to have the year we're set on having.''
After finishing with an NFL-low 14 sacks in 2009, the Jaguars signed Kampman and drafted four defensive linemen. Nonetheless, the defense ranked 30th in yards allowed last season, surrendered a franchise record 419 points and struggled to get consistent pressure.
Del Rio and general manager Gene Smith responded by taking an even bigger swing at revamping the unit during the league's frenzied free-agent period.
Jacksonville committed $112 million, including more than $40 million guaranteed, to acquire linebackers Paul Posluszny and Clint Session, safety Dawan Landry, nickel cornerback Drew Coleman and defensive end Matt Roth.
The Jaguars still are waiting to see a return on their investment.
''We're a few steps away on everything,'' Mincey said. ''Regardless of what the stat sheet says, I still see a lot of positives out of a lot of guys. There's always room for improvement. I think we'll be fine. Honestly, I really do. When everybody gets back in and healthy, everything will get in sync.''

Speedtouch 585 orange WLAN light
Likes # 0
Posted January 22, 2008 at 2:33AM
Hi all,
Ok, I am totally baffled by this. Am visiting my parents for the week, and when I got here, my dad told me he was having problems with getting his laptop to connect wirelessly.
The laptop has connected wirelessly perfectly before this. From what I can gather, it was working one day, then not the next.
The router is a Thompson Speedtouch 585 v6. We have the main desktop pc linked to it via ethernet cable. This all works fine. However, the WLAN light is constantly orange, and we cannot connect wirelessly.
The laptop, according to device manager and the software for the built in adapter, is an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network connection.
For as long as I can remember, we have always used Windows to configure the adapter, rather than the specific software, and we have never had any trouble with this arrangement. (I seem to vaguely recall having little joy with using the specific software many moons ago when I first set up the connection for my dad).
When I open the windows configuration utility, it shows that it can pick up our wireless network perfectly. Crystal clear in fact. It say we are connected to our network. It is when we then try to open Firefox (or Internet Explorer) that we get the 'server not found' and 'problem loading page' type messages.
If I try to repair the connection, it cycles through all the stuff it is supposed to, and informs us that our connection is again fine. Still no luck with the browser pages though.
If I try and disconnect from our network and reconnect, it asks me for the WEP key, which I enter as per what is on the bottom of the router, and we are eventually back to being told we have a sucessful connection again...but still no luck loading webpages!
Now, this is what confuses me the most. If I toggle the preference to let Windows configure my wireless connection to 'off', and then open up the Intel PROSet Wireless utility, it is completely dead - everything is greyed out, and it says 'No supported wireless adapters available in the system'.
So I then check in device manager, but the Intel PRO/Wireless is right there under Network adapters, working properly and enabled.
I tried disabling and re-enabling the adapter in device manager, but this does nothing (although if I have Windows configuring things at that particular moment, it obviously instantly kills my so-called 'connection'.)
Have tried unplugging the router for a while, then powering up again, in case it was a problem with IP address (something I was told to try when I had probs with my own pc back home), but this also does nothing. Besides, the Windows utility says that the laptop adapter acquires the IP address just fine every time.
(sorry, continued in next post)

I have never been totally convinced by the integrity of the wireless connection here, even when I did get it to work before. It all seems to be a bit jumbled up somehow. It took me forever to get it set up in the first place last year, and I was never able to get the Belkin adapter in the desktop pc to work (not a problem ultimately with the ethernet cable, but still damn annoying that I couldn't figure it out). And when I eventually got the laptop to connect wirelessly, I was never totally sure if I had used WEP or WPA - there is a 10 digit WEP key on the bottom of the router, but at some point I remember it asked me to enter a longer WPA key as well!
As it stands now, when I enter the code when I go to reconnect to our network, it seems to accept the WEP just fine. But then I thought maybe it wants a WPA key instead. So I went into the wireless network setup wizard, and it gets to a screen where you can print your network settings. If I click this, it tells me that my encryption type is WEP, but it also shows my network key as being in WPA format!? So I copied and pasted the key, and used that instead of the WEP key on the bottom of the router to reconnect to my network. It accepted that too! (but still no luck with browsing).
I then tried typing in a completely made up key. It accepted that too, acquired the network address, and 'connected'! It says clearly unde the name of our network that it is a security-enabled wireless network.
Is there some kind of confusion with my encryption settings that is causing this, or is there something else I need to fiddle with to be able to view internet content again? Utterly confused. If anyone is able to help, would appreciate keeping the technical jargon as simple as poss, because, as you may have gathered, my working knowledge of this stuff is sketchy at best!
Surely if I am typing in an invalid network key, it would tell me and not allow me to connect...right?
I tried downloading the manual for the 585 to avoid having to bother you guys, but alas it was all a bit too technical for me. Sorry!
Many thanks, Jessica xx

Sorry, I forgot to mention that we have AOL running too - would the AOL software be affecting things in any way? As far as I know, the router is compatible with AOL broadband, but then I don't know if it is a router problem or an issue with the adapter?
Thanks, Jessica x

I am having the exact same problem, the only diffence being my router has never worked, it did this the first time it was used.
Have you come up with any kind of solution, yet?

All that typing and no response....
The WAN light refers to the connection the ISP, even without an internet connection you still ought to be able to connect to the router itself. If you access the router's configuration pages you have connected to the router. If you check the configuration and status of the router (sorry, not familiar with Safecom kit) you will be able to see if it has detected an ADSL signal and established a connection to the ISP.
If the laptop connects to the router with a given key, changing it will prevent the whole lot working.
If you have AOL as an ISP, and your router is using your actual screenname and password to log in, you'll knock it offline when you try to login using the same details on your PC (as far as AOL is concerned you are already connected when the router logs in), you need to create a separate `router` screen-name for use only with the router.
Best to forget the wireless connection until you have established a connection with a wired one, otherwise you're chasing a moving target.

Orange light, but neither of my laptops can't see the network.
When I plug straight into the router with a LAN cable the internet works fine.
My assumption is the wireless signal generator is broken. Is that a fair guess?

Everything fine since. Best thing get AOL TECH SUPPORT.I am on AOL Talk as well so did not cost anything. Good luck.

When Volkswagen Group offered £430 million for the assets of Rolls-Royce Motors in 1998, legend has it that Volkswagen acquired the factory, plus the rights to certain brands, but not the famous Rolls-Royce trade-mark name. The Rolls-Royce brand was in fact controlled by aircraft-engine maker Rolls-Royce plc, not Rolls-Royce Motors. Thus, after the acquisition, Volkswagen had no rights to the valuable Rolls-Royce brand name, and they watched as rival BMW snapped up the trade-mark rights for £40 million. The lesson? Get advice on intellectual property (IP) issues when negotiating your business deal.
IP assets can be critical in the course of corporate-commercial transactions such as:

Foundry on Holodeck - FAQ
As you may have noticed, we have enabled the Beta Foundry service on Holodeck this morning.
This means that you will now be presented with two options on the character selection screen - Play and Create.
In order to Create Foundry missions, you must select the Create tab and define a "testing" character that you will use for play testing any missions you create.
Any Foundry missions you create will not become available for others to see until they are published.
Once they are published, they will not show up in the player created mission tab until they have been peer reviewed. If you would like to review newly created missions, there is a review content option that will allow you to search for new missions waiting to be tried. Be warned, with many new players getting their hands on the editor, there may be a lot of "hello world" missions at first.
As with any Beta, we will be monitoring the systems closely and if we see any problems we will address them asap. This is a complex new system and this is the first time it has been open to the public on our primary shard Holodeck. Be warned that we may need to turn it on/off at a moments notice to address any concerns, but our goal is to have a smooth launch ::crossing fingers::
I'll update if there is any additional information I can share.
Enjoy and have fun making your own mission!
UPDATE: 1:45pm Pacific
We are noticing that some Foundry missions are timing out when you attempt to publish. We are looking into the issue and request that if you have trouble publishing, please try again later. You may still save your mission and all should be safe until you can get it published. More news on this as we find out more details.
Congratulations Dan and the entire team! BRAVO!
March 28th, forever to be known as Foundry Day.
Sweet! Time to get creating.
Edit: Coming soon, the return of the Obsidian Order.
Edit2: Now LIVE: "Trembler"! Check out the summary in the Foundry Discussion Forum.
Will there be an option to import missions already created on Tribble or will they need to be re-created?
Where are all the 500+ missions that people have created already? sorry if this is dumb question lol
excited to get home and try it out on holodeck! Grats STO Team!!
To answer the last two posters there
1) It takes a lot to get missions onto Holodeck from Tribble.
2) It should be easy-ish to recreate the dialog and such, but unknown if you can do them 100%.
yay!!!!! bring fourht the undine Invasion i will :D
Excellent news! I can't wait to login tonight and check it out. I'm curious to see how many missions are listed in the community and review sections tonight. I predict my reaction stages will be: :) :confused: :eek: :D
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 07:21 AM.

I removed the top refrigerator side hinge screws. The door came right off. Slipped in the lower hinge pin.. Unscrewed the natural door closer and replaced. Reinstalled the door. It is unfortunate that these parts are plastic. They wear out way too soon. No, the door is not over weighted. If you have no weight in the door the plastic shelves will hinder the door closing. Putting stuff on the shelves makes them take their proper form.

"Despite last week's Senate defeat of President Barack Obama's $50 billion infrastructure jobs bill, momentum is building for congressional passage of a long-term transportation plan to repair crumbling roads and bridges, move people and freight more efficiently, and boost employment.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, recently removed a major roadblock by agreeing to support a continuation of current highway program spending levels. He said Republicans will introduce a six-year transportation plan this month, and he expects House passage before the end of the year."

London commuters face second day of Tube rail strike chaos
Published on Feb 6, 2014 4:34 PM
LONDON (Reuters) - Millions of Londoners faced another morning of travel chaos on Thursday as a 48-hour strike by London Underground workers angry at ticket office closures and job cuts entered its second day.
Staff from the two main rail unions began the first of two planned 48-hour tube strikes late on Tuesday, leaving many people unable to get to work or forced to pack onto overcrowded buses, mainline trains or cycle.
Transport for London (TfL), which runs the capital's public transport network, reported that just one underground line was running normally at rush hour on Thursday with the remaining 10 either closed or operating a reduced service.
Talks between the unions and TfL are due to resume on Friday in a bid to avert a second 48-hour walk-out planned from Feb 11 to Feb 14.

Great Invention Idea? Cure Hiccups with a Zap!by Elizabeth Valeri
We've all heard that a good fright is one way to cure a bout of the hiccups. Admittedly, that's never worked for me, but I'm not the kind of girl who scares easily. (The nutrition label on a bag of Cheetos notwithstanding.)

Great Invention Idea? Cure for Numb Thumb!by Elizabeth Valeri
If you're anything like me, you spend an inordinate amount of time typing away at your computer. You do so knowing every keystroke brings you one step closer to a carpal tunnel disease diagnosis; every glance at the screen teases your vision with astigmatism. So you buy an ergonomic keypad and mouse pad and you force yourself to look away from the screen every 20 minutes or so. Great! But now there is something else to worry about, something that threatens the great American pastime of television viewing: B.T.N.D. or Button Thumbing Numbness Disorder. Luckily, the cure is not worse than the disease. read more »

I can't predict how many posts this is going to take over the next few months, so I'm not even going to try. Instead, I'm just going to let our story unfold. Some posts will be on one moment in time, a brief ten or twenty moments in time that impacted us too deeply to be buried with the other notes of our story. The story of how we ended up where we did was both long and then very short. Short of it is after not being approved two years ago we were contacted by Make-A-Wish in April, saying that Kennedy and Denver could both qualify now and to call them. After that it was a heartbeat later that the Wish volunteers were sitting in our living room getting the kids wishes. Kennedy wished for Disney/Universal. I don't think any of us was prepared for the amazing that followed. The first step toward our trip involved a party. We got to invite some friends and met at a local restaurant. All three of the kids were treated to Disney delights. No child was left out in the preparations, and they all got gifts. The biggest one of all was, of course, for Kennedy. That big giant package was an elaborate Princess Anna costume for Kennedy (pictures to come in another post). We were able to sit and relax with friends, while the kids played with the bevy of toys they were given. The volunteers went over many things that my head couldn't wrap around, and as I've said several times, we had no idea what we were in store for. The party went on for several hours, and then we all went home. Kennedy was an ecstatic mess, and even though we still had a couple of weeks before we left, the impatience for the trip was mounting. Of course, the kids were bouncing off the walls, and so was I, but I was also packing and planning and stressing (Oh but I didn't need to…). Oh, and planning and packing and stressing a little more. Talking to other people I knew that had done Disney through Make-A-Wish who had glowing reports just like I do now after the fact. And so…we prepared to go. Left the dog with my parents, my hard drive w/ a neighbor for protection, got the fridge emptied and the laundry done. We were ready to take off! (Part 2 soon!) Read more »

Compensation of Rs. 20 lakh announced for family of contractor who committed suicide
The BBMP contractors' demand for early release of pending dues grew shriller on Friday when they gathered outside the Council Hall to stage a demonstration in the wake of the recent suicide by fellow contractor, Girish.
Claiming that the suicide of Girish, who had taken up several projects with the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), was on account of financial stress that several contractors were facing after incurring huge debts, contractors' association president R.J. Srinivas urged the civic body to release their pending dues of about Rs. 1,600 crore at the earliest. "Most of our contractors are under debt as the BBMP has not paid them for nearly 16 months," he said.
The association threatened to stop work from Monday if the authorities do not release the amount.
Meanwhile, Mr. Sathyanarayana announced a compensation of Rs. 20 lakh for the family of Girish, which he said would be useful for the education for his children. He also assured the contractors that the civic body would release pending dues of two months by Wednesday.

(Tuesday, December 28th)
Final Score: NC State 23, (22) West Virginia 7
Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Russell Wilson passed for 275 yards and two touchdowns and NC State beat No. 22 West Virginia 23-7 to win the Champs Sports Bowl.
Wilson connected with Mustafa Greene on a 16-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and the Wolfpack (9-4) never trailed against a sloppy West Virginia team that had trouble getting out of its own way.
Geno Smith threw for 196 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown pass to Stedman Bailey in the second quarter that accounted for the only Mountaineer points.
West Virginia (9-4) turned the ball over on consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter.
Noel Devine fumbled at the end of a 28-yard run and Smith was intercepted by a diving Wolfpack defender at the NC State 10-yard line on a long pass destined for a touchdown.
The Mountaineers were able to escape both turnovers without giving up any points, but their luck ran out when Jock Sanders fumbled a punt at the seven- yard line and Wilson found Jarvis Williams in the end zone three plays later.
"We have a great offense and they have a great defense. It was going to be a showdown and we knew it. We were ready for it," said Wilson.
Smith fumbled on the final Mountaineers possession -- their fifth turnover of the second half. Tyler Bitancurt missed two field goals in the loss.
"You have five fumbles and lose four, I don't know what to tell you other than don't put the ball on the ground," said West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart, who will coach the Mountaineers for one more season.
Wilson completed 28-of-45 passes and also rushed 14 times for 41 yards, while Williams led all players with six catches for 77 yards.
NC State took a 7-0 lead with 1:37 remaining in the first quarter when Greene broke three tackles on the way to the end zone.
Bitancurt missed a 43-yard field goal in the second quarter, but the Mountaineers tied the game with a touchdown on their next possession.
Bailey got behind cornerback David Amerson down the right sideline and leapt for Smith's 32-yard pass in the front corner of the end zone.
Only two minutes were left in the first half, but it was enough time for NC State to retake the lead at 10-7 on Josh Czajkowski's 45-yard field goal.
Smith fumbled on West Virginia's first possession of the second half and NC State moved just five yards before Czajkowski kicked a 38-yard field goal to make it 13-7 with 6:05 left in the third quarter.
Czajkowski added a 40-yarder on the Wolfpack's next series and NC State carried a 16-7 lead into the fourth.
Devine fumbled the ball near the left sideline after he was hit by two defenders, but the Mountaineers dodged a bullet Czajkowski's missed 27-yard field goal.
Smith saw Sanders wide-open behind the defense and looked to have dropped a perfect pass into his arms in front of the end zone. But NC State safety Brandan Bishop made a diving interception worthy of the highlight reel.
"We knew all year if we didn't turn it over, we wouldn't lose," Smith said. "Unfortunately, the games we've lost we turned it over and put our defenses in bad situations. But sometimes that's the way the game goes."
Game Notes
West Virginia earned a share of the Big East title with Connecticut and Pittsburgh, but UConn won a tiebreaker for the conference's BCS bowl slot...NC State suffered a 38-31 loss to Maryland in its regular-season finale to cost the team the Atlantic Division title and a spot in the ACC Championship game...NC State evened the all-time series at 5-5...The Mountaineers made their school-record ninth straight bowl appearance...NC State made its first bowl appearance since 2008.

Who shouldn't shovel snow
U.S. orthopedists say olive oil sprayed on the dish of a shovel may help the snow slide off more easily.
Anything to make job easier — such as an ergonomic shovel with a bend in it — may help avoid the aches and pains of shoveling this seemingly snowier-than-usual winter, said the orthopedists at LifeBridge Health in Baltimore.
However, anyone overweight, elderly, or with a history of heart or back problems should forgo shoveling altogether, they advise.
The orthopedists liken snow shoveling to weight-lifting. Not taking breaks could put shovelers at risk for heart attack.
The LifeBridge Health doctors say shoveling injuries might be avoided by:
– Stretching leg, arm and back muscles to warm up before shoveling.
– Using salt or sand on ice to give the feet some traction.
– Standing with feet apart at hip-width to maintain balance.
– Not putting too much snow on the shovel — only 1 to 2 inches at a time.
– Pushing snow instead of lifting it. If lifting, protecting the back by tightening stomach muscles.
– Walking to drop the snow rather than throwing it, but if throwing, rotating the entire body to face the direction of the throw.

Regional forecast for Northern Ireland
A few light showers, some brightness on Monday
This Evening and Tonight:
Staying rather cloudy through the evening and overnight with further light showers or spells of drizzle, mainly along the north coast, and down across County Londonderry and Tyrone. Minimum Temperature 7C.
A cloudy start with patchy showers or light drizzle in places, mainly the north and west, but this dying out with some bright or sunny intervals developing during the afternoon. Maximum Temperature 16C.
Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:
Mainly dry with some sunshine Tuesday. Cooler and cloudier on Wednesday and Thursday with showers or longer spells of rain and windy at times.
Updated at: 1623 on Sun 24 May 2015
UK forecast for the next 5 days
Dry with broken cloud and clear spells for most.
This Evening and Tonight:
It will be largely dry with a mix of cloud and clear spells, any remaining rain and thicker cloud in southeast England will soon clear. Showers, however will continue across northern and western Scotland overnight.
Largely dry with plenty of cloud but also some brightness or sunshine developing, especially in the east. Some patchy rain or showers may affect parts of the northwest at times.
Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:
Many areas dry during Tuesday and Wednesday, best of brightness in the east. Rain and strong winds reaching the northwest later Wednesday, spreading east Thursday morning, with blustery showers later.
Updated at: 1540 on Sun 24 May 2015
Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Friday 29 May 2015 to Sunday 7 Jun 2015:
May is expected to end unsettled, with spells of rain interspersed by drier, brighter and more showery interludes. It may be rather windy, particularly in the northwest, with a risk of gales, and the bulk of the rainfall. Southern and eastern areas look best placed for the driest, brightest weather. Temperatures are likely to be below average in the northwest, but near average further south and east. Into June the signal for prevailing weather becomes fairly weak, but, on balance, unsettled conditions are considered more likely in the northwest at first, with slightly below average temperatures, and settled, warmer, conditions in the southeast. Towards the weekend these warmer more settled conditions are likely to spread to most of the country with a risk of showers in the south.
UK Outlook for Monday 8 Jun 2015 to Monday 22 Jun 2015:
There still remains considerable uncertainty in the likely weather type through this period. There is, however, a signal for higher pressure to become established to the north of the UK. This would lead to drier, warmer conditions for many, these perhaps most prolonged in the north, but it may also allow some more unsettled, perhaps thundery, weather to move up from continental Europe and affect the south of the country.

Staff Profile
Career Summary
After completing a double degree in science and teaching, I explored my passion for NHI through Honours at the University of Newcastle. Soon after I ventured to the Ruwenzori Mountains of Uganda living with the Buconzo people, teaching secondary Biology and Chemistry, facilitating youth programs, as well as staff and school development at Mitandi secondary school and sister schools in the region. Whilst there I had the opportunity to study the flight behaviours of the abundant and varied bird species, which inspired my PhD research. This led to the development of a species-specific bird model for illustration practice. Whilst completing my PhD I lectured as a sessional academic in Field Studies in the NHI degree and am now fulltime Technical Officer for the Design and NHI programs supporting academic staff in teaching delivery and research, RHD student research, and undergraduates for both Vis. Com. Design and NHI.
- Doctor of Philosophy, University of Newcastle, 17/07/2014
- Bachelor of Natural History Illustration (Honours), University of Newcastle, 09/12/2005
Research keywords
- Practice-based research
- Schematic frameworks for knowledge management in NHI research-practice
- Tacit knowledge
- Trans-disciplinary methodology
Research expertise
I am fascinated by the solution-based focus of practice-based research in the field of NHI, and the new knowledge that arises from inherent innovative and creative explorations demanded by an outcome based inquiry. Particularly challenging is capturing the tacit component of the knowledge contribution. In my research I have employed schematic frameworks to identify the flow of knowledge in process, and to link the making of artifacts with methods of inquiry. In my own doctoral research I have designed, created and applied a species-specific articulating bird model to understand and reconstruct reference for drawing specific flight events in the Australian White-bellied Sea-Eagle. This has further led to an interest in the discussion of embedded knowledge, knowledge contribution, and innovation by creative practitioners in collaborative research projects, where there is an exchange of knowledge between creative and scientific disciplines to resolve complex problems.

Corruption is not confined to any one place or state. It has spread all over India. Latest addition to the long list is the corruption charges in procuring aero-engines by HAL top brass.Hence, an anti-corruption movement to has to cover the entire India.Preventig the recurrence of this type of events by modifying the system and rules is as important as the punishing of the culprits.Indigenous production of weapons and equipments and spares seem to be the solution for this evil.The actions of AAP should be viewed keeping the entire nation in mind.

It is very unfortunate that even after 67 years of loot both by Congress and BJP ( Both are different sides of the same coin) people still have faith in these parties.

You don't need to be a prizefighter to reap the benefits of a workout that incorporates punches, jabs and kicks. Aside from being an excellent avenue for stress relief, kickboxing is a great confidence builder and a fun way to become a lean, mean, fighting machine. It increases your agility and coordination, and shapes up almost every muscle in your body.
Tap into your inner fighter with six moves that target your arms, legs, butt and core for a total-body workout. Here's how it works:
Each 4-minute round incorporates four exercises you'll perform for 1 minute each over the course of one song. Begin with warm-up exercises like shuffles, arm reaches, jump rope and knee lifts, and be sure to end your workout with deep breathing and stretches for your upper and lower body.

Begin in right boxer's stance with your right foot forward, left foot back. Your arms should be in the ready guard position with elbows bent, fists closed and close to your face. Punch with your right arm (jab), then punch with your left arm (cross). Visualize the target to be at about the same height as your opponent's nose.
Lunge-Front Kick
Begin in a split stance position with your right foot in front, left foot in back. Lower down into the lunge, and then kick to the front with your left leg. Throughout the movement, you're your arms in ready guard position. Visualize the target to be at about the same height as your opponent's hips.
Speed Bag and Shuffle
Lift your arms up in front of your forehead, parallel to the floor with your fists closed and your elbows wide. Shuffle side to side and circle your arms rapidly around each other as if you're hitting a speed bag. Visualize the target to be at about the same height as your opponent's nose.
Knee Strike-Back Kick
With your arms in ready guard position, lift your right knee toward your chest like you're performing a knee strike. Place your right foot down, and then kick your left leg toward the back, striking with the heel of your foot while keeping it flexed. Be sure to keep your arms up throughout the movement. Visualize the target to be at about the same height as your opponent's hips.
Upper Cuts
With your arms in ready guard position, put your feet hip-width apart with a slight bend in the knees. Pull your right arm back toward your hips, and then punch in an upward motion. Repeat on the left side. Be sure to keep your arms up throughout the movement. Visualize the target to be at about the same height as your opponent's chin.
Horse Stance-Roundhouse Kick
Begin in horse stance with your feet wider than hip-width apart, knees bent, and toes turned out to about 45 degrees. Step your right foot in and lift your left leg up to the side with your heel toward your glutes. Extend your knee into the roundhouse kick, striking with the top of your foot, toes pointed. Visualize the target to be at about the same height as your opponent's chin.
