Katy Perry – Roar
For some reason Katy Perry songs are almost always perfect to cover. Most of them are kind of catchy, but a little overproduced in order to match the criteria for paving the way to pop stardom. So changing the rendition just a little, playing around with the song or just stripping it down to pure acoustic covers often already makes a big difference.
YouTube is full of excellent covers and many different renditions. I've found a couple of great examples of artists you might not now yet but should take the time to listen to. Girl group, country or just plain acoustic. Check our compilation of "Roar" covers below.
Katy Perry – Roar: Country Version
Tailor Faith brings a little country to Katy Perry's recent smash hit. The rendition feels still a little raw, but you see a lot of potential. Can't wait to see what songs she'll put a country spin on next.
Katy Perry – Roar: Girl Group Version
When you listen to the harmonies of this next group you'll be captivated in a second. Vanquish don't just bring soul to this Katy Perry song. It also feels so effortless. These girls could go far.
Katy Perry – Roar: Acoustic Version
Here comes the girl with the angelic voice. Alycia Marie, a young singer from Germany, does a great job with this soothing version of "Roar".
Katy Perry – Roar: Acoustic Version 2
The next one is just as smooth as the last one. And it adds some cool and interesting harmonies to it as well. YouTube user Ashleigh Beland writes: "If John Mayer and Katy Perry had kids… it would be you 2!" – if that's nothing to be nosy about then what is? Watch the vid!
Katy Perry – Roar: Band Version
I actually had to listen to this once more without the video to make sure that I can focus only on the voice and not being distracted by a stunning Andie Case. A strong and also a little vulnerable sounding pop-rock-voice convinced me to put this one in here as a bonus. When you listen to these guys you can envision how the album might sound like. And I'm looking forward to it.
What do you think about these cover versions? Share your favorite version of Katy Perry's "Roar" in the comment section below.

The certainty of your headline "Contrails heat more than aircraft fuel" (2 April, p 16) belies the real nature of the research on which it is based. Scientists are still a long way from agreeing on the climate impact of contrails and related cirrus cloud, or even clouds in general. The aviation industry is happy to see more research being done on the issue, but until the scientific community is convinced of the impact, it would be unwise to introduce technology or operational measures that could eliminate contrail formation, particularly as doing so would increase carbon dioxide emissions.

Audie Award Finalist, Solo Narration - Male, 2014
Award-winning author, narrator, and screenwriter Neil Gaiman personally selected this book, and, using the tools of the Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX), produced this work for his audiobook label, Neil Gaiman Presents.
A few words from Neil on Dimension of Miracles: "Dimension of Miracles is probably not [Sheckley's] most famous book…. but I think it's probably his best-loved book. It's about the joys and tribulations (mostly the tribulations) of winning the lotterythe galactic lotteryaccidentally. And wrongly. Tom Carmody is awarded a remarkable prize, is taken half way across the universe to collect it, finds himself hopelessly lost, and needs to find his way home again to Earth…to this Earth, not an alternate, weirdo Earth. He's got to get back. And the price is high.
In its style of humorand even in some of the jokesDimension of Miracles is very obviously a precursor of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Douglas actually hadn't read Dimension of Miracles until very shortly after Hitchhiker came out, when people pointed him to it, and he told me that he found the experience almost shockingit was like reading himself. He was a huge admirer of Bob Sheckley and a huge admirer of this book, and in later life, I had the privilege of introducing both of them.
Now the challenge for me with a book this funny, this strange, this perceptive was to try and find a narrator who was as iconic, somebody who could deliver the goods, somebody who could give you a book like this as it deserved to be given. And the first, and the last, and actually the only person to come to mind was John Hodgman. So I asked John, and he said yes! And he did it; he pulled it off. Listening to Johnnot just the suave, sensible, sane narrator of this book, but all the peculiar accents and incarnations that he is forced to adopt through herehe does it delightfully, he does it brilliantly, he's really, really funny. And so is this book. Enjoy your journey through a Dimension of Miracles."
Dimension of Miracles is a satirical science fiction novel first published by Dell in 1968. It's about Tom Carmody, a New Yorker who, thanks to a computer error, wins the main prize in the Intergalactic Sweepstakes. Tom claims his prize before the error is discovered and is allowed to keep it. However, since Tom is a human from Earth without galactic status and no space traveling experience, he has no homing instinct that can guide him back to Earth once his odyssey begins - and the galactic lottery organizers cannot transport him home. Meanwhile, his removal from Earth has caused a predatory entity to spring into existence - one that pursues and aims to destroy him. Carmody is on the run, and he ends up transporting from Earth to Earth - different phases and realities of the planet, which of course is not the time or condition he expects.

©1968 Robert Sheckley (P)2013 Robert Sheckley
"Hodgman, probably best known to geeks for his appearances on The Daily Show and his role as the PC in those Apple commercials a few years back, has a dryly intelligent deadpan that wonderfully counterpoints the absurd adventures of Thomas Carmody, a mid 20th-century New York everyman who's invited to a galactic center to collect a sweepstakes prize." (Locus)
Ronda Del Boccio, The Story Lady
"Hilarious! - Could have been written this year"
This book is such fun. Yes, it reminds everyone of Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy even though it was written before. I love the humor, fun characters, and especially the ending.
The whole part about creating a budget planet - EARTH. Absolutely hilarious. I laughed out loud HEARTILY many times.
The planet maker scnee was a blast. Loved the whole book.
I loved the resolution in the end. This isn't a "moving" type book, but that end satisfied me.
If you like humor and don't mind irreverent books, read tis one.
"Better than expected..."
Wasn't excited about this book, but it came highly recommended. I wasn't a fan of Douglas Adam's (which his Hitchhiker books is what this one is common compared to), so I wasn't excited about this one.
Sheckley, though, excels where Adams doesn't. Where Adam's humor is campy and a bit in-your-face, Sheckley tends to be a bit more reserved. Granted, there's talking dinosaurs and goofy characters, but the humor they have is a bit smarter and enjoyable. Hodgman is the perfect narrator as he brings to life the characters beautifully.
All in all, it was better than I had expected. It's not without it's dry parts or various minor plot holes...but they are fairly short and minor and don't weigh down the reader much.
Dr. Nils Rasmussen
"Easily The Best Title I've Encountered on Audible"
Although written beforehand, this book's humor reflects in many ways the prose in "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", but in a somewhat more mature manner.
The narration performance by John Hodgman on this fish-out-of-water story is second to none, creating the audio equivalent of a page-turner.
Highly recommend for anyone who enjoyed those old 1950's sci-fi radio shows such as "X-Minus One" and/or "Dimension X".
9.8 / 10
"Hitchhiker's Before There Was a Hitchhiker's"
Genius. Hilarious. Perfect.
As I said in my title, this book is the Hitchhiker's Guide's precursor. I can't imagine what Douglas Adams must have been thinking and feeling while he was reading this for the first time, apparently after Hitchhiker's had been published. They share so much of the dry, irreverent, metaphysical humor that it is hard to believe that Adams had never read Dimensions before. If you like Hitchhiker's Guide at all, GET THIS BOOK!
Absolutely everything. Neil Gaiman hit the nail square on the head when he asked John Hodgman to narrate this book.
I loved this book. I found it to be funny and witty and thought provoking. The story was suburb and the characters were charming and well rounded. I started listening to it again as soon as I finished it the first time and I plan on getting any and all other Robert Sheckley books that Audible has to offer.
"Great short read"
This book is funny as well as thought provoking. If you loved Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy you will really appreciate this book.
avid reader, on my way to avid listener. also an employee at Audible.
"The Intelligent City"
I thought this short novel was fantastic. The plot is quite thin and easy to grasp: Tom Carmody, an Earthling, mistakenly receives a prize in the Intergalactic Sweepstakes. Having been teleported to a far-off planet, he is left stranded with little knowledge of how to return. He then travels from planet to planet, and from dimension to dimension, in search of home.
Along the way, he encounters a strange City, one of my favorite parts. It seems uninhabited, until the City itself begins to speak and interact with Carmody. It explains that it was built to facilitate health and comfort in the lives of its citizens. Carmody wonders why no one currently lives in the City, but he accepts the comfort that it provides him; or, rather, that it insists upon him. And though the City may have good intentions, Carmody soon finds that its nagging perfectionism and constant "suggestions" are overwhelmingly annoying.
Carmody eventually refuses to listen to the City. He understands that, for example, the costs of smoking a cigarette far outweigh the benefits; but there comes a point where Carmody's ability to make a choice becomes more important to him than the effects of the choices he makes. The intelligent City reveals something beautifully complex about people: even with clear evidence that a certain choice is the most correct or logical, a person is driven to maintain a sense that their choice (whatever it may be) is possibly the right one, even if it is quite apparently wrong.
Absurd yet enlightening moments like this make Dimension of Miracles an engaging and fulfilling listen. Narrator John Hodgman does a fantastic job as well. He gives a relatable exasperation to the main character and an ironic realism to all of the extraterrestrials he meets. It's quick, it's funny, and it really caught my ear.
"Douglas Adams' predecessor"
It's hard to believe that this was written before Hitchhiker's Guide. All of the tropes that we ascribe to Adams are here. The weary time traveler, the morose robot, the finicky planet builder (Oh Slartybartfast!), and the cynical humor that leaves you chuckling after the book is over. It's a gem and I'm glad that Gaiman added it to his collection. Hodgman's narration is the icing on the cake.
"Not Quite What I Expected..."
It just lacked ongoing appeal for me and I wasn't in a tremendous hurry to resume the story following interruptions.
The ending was just OK. It didn't leave me wanting more, but was fine for the story as written.
The voices, tone, and inflection were great.
No, not really.
I loved many of the transient characters, but just never fell in love with the protagonist.
Live in Sydney, Australia. South African heritage. Love audio books. Constant company on my non-stop business travels.
"This was before Douglas Adams owned the genre"
This was a surprise.
In his preface Neil tells us that Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker et al) only read Robert Sheckley after Guide to the Galaxy was published. They have very similar voices in regards to their ideas, playfulness, humour and sheer imagination. Very very similar. One suspect that Sheckley did not get the honour that is his due.
I wonderful romp with the sub-text not that sub and the humour bubbling continuously. Really enjoyable.
"If you listen to one audiobook only, make it this!"
A wonderful journey that just makes you want to listen for hours. A must read/listen, actually a must listen by John Hodgman only, he is perfect for this. A very talented man.
All of it!
The narrator made it wonderful - how dare you say he detracted
No, not really
Listen to this book darn it!
"If you liked Hitchhiker's Guide..."
On listening to this book I was struck (as many have been) by the echoes of Douglas Adams' 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' - but I knew this book had pre-dated that. In fact on further research I discovered Adams hadn't read this book, and was shocked when he did at how similar it was.
I say this as a recommendation - if you liked the slightly anarchical & surreal humour of one, you'll love the other.
John Hodgman is a great choice for the narrator too - less well known to UK audiences perhaps, but he inhabits the characters well, and seems to offer the 'baffled everyman' perspective that the lead character exhibits throughout.
Highly recommended!
"Wonderfully HHGTTG."
I love quirky sci fi!
The humour and the narration
It made me laugh
Can't believe Douglas Adams was only introduced to this story years after he wrote the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy. If you like the HHGTTG series (a trilogy of 5 books) you'll love this too.
"A muddled, mediocre story, read well by Hodgeman."
If you're a big fan of the randomness and lack of structure of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, then you may get something out of this.
I generally listen to history books, and am currently listening to An Utterly Impartial History of Britain by John O'Farrell.
It started well enough, as did Hitchhiker's.
Pretty much all of them, as none of them made any sense.
To me this book, like Douglas Adams' famous series, is essentially what happens when you write a book without any idea where it will end up. What follows is a series of increasingly bizarre sequences, some of which are mildly amusing, but most are just odd and random.There's little story arc here, which to me makes the book just feel rather pointless.

The Style it Light hub will offer fashion editorial and video content from IPC titles Marie Claire, Look and InStyle, which will be updated daily, targeting 17- to 29-year-olds.
The fashion site feeds into Diet Coke's overall brand strategy to integrate itself with the fashion world, re-engage lapsed drinkers of the brand and attract new consumers.
The news follows Diet Coke's recruitment of fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier as its campaign creative director for 2012.
Zoe Howorth, market activation director, Coca-Cola GB said: "We are delighted to introduce the new 'Style it light' platform in partnership with IPC, designed to excite and reward our key Diet Coke audience of style loving girls.
"Fashion is at the heart of our 'Love It Light' campaign and the new site will bring consumers a daily fix of style content, sprinkled with some Diet Coke fashion fizz."
The brand will continue to use the three female puppets that have featured in its marketing activity, which most recently promoted a tie-up with make up brand Benefit.

I can help there, too-- mine angled to far forward from wear and tear, so I brazed a couple of bits onto the centerstand stop tabs. The deployed angle of the stand measures 75 deg from the horizontal, tho I'd suggest 80 deg. When it angles too far forward you really have to wrestle it off the centerstand-- it needs to be just slightly over-center.
I'd weld the first tab stop, make it a bit too thick and grind/adjust it to "perfect", then measure and add the other one. If you can support the bike so that the return-spring-less stand can swing below it will help-- I cluelessly did mine trial-and-error over several trials, but I was just an energetic kid back then...

Notre Dame hopes to keep Alabama from third title in four years
They'll be running behind an offensive line anchored by Rimington Trophy-winning center Barrett Jones … and trying to get by arguably the best defensive line in the country.
The Irish's defense has kept them in games all year, and as far as Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly is concerned, tonight's game will likely be won or lost based on which team succeeds on the line of scrimmage.
Notre Dame nose guard Louis Nix III cuts a formidable figure up the middle. Get past him, and there's All-Everything linebacker Manti Te'o to reckon with. Try to go around, and defensive end Stephon Tuitt — he of the team-leading 10 sacks — awaits.
"When you have two great football teams … in these kinds of games, it's going to be decided up front," Kelly said. "Can you get the ball off? Do you have all day? Can you run the ball when you want to run the ball when everybody knows you've got to run the football?"
Alabama wants to repeat as national champs.
But Notre Dame wants to win its first championship since 1988, and it's ready for a dogfight.
"Fighting Irish," Kelly said. "That's who we are. That's how we've constructed how we want our guys to play.
"Our guys understand how I want them to play the game. That's why we're here. They play the game like Fighting Irish. And that's how we want to play the game (today)."

Whitworth alumni in their own words
'So you're a Christian. Now what?'
by Marty Miller, '89
Life's lessons are not always apparent until they are in the rearview mirror. For me, the road started in Selah, Wash., headed east on Interstate 90 through Ritzville (I've yet to find the "Ritz" in Ritzville), and in 1985 ended, for a time, in Spokane – at what was then known as Whitworth College. The good-natured rumor at that time was that Whitworth had recently gone from Camp Whitworth to Whitworth College. And now Whitworth University. How far we've come!
As I give my life's rearview mirror another look, three enduring themes emerged during my Whitworth years. Those themes are challenges, community, and serving God.
Challenges at Whitworth came early. In my freshman year, I hadn't declared a major. Fortunately, I was introduced to the political studies department through the course American Government. The professors, courses and concepts in political studies challenged us to think critically, question our assumptions, and defend our perspectives. My time at Whitworth was a time of shaking and rebuilding a worldview.
The sense of community started quickly, too. My first year, in Baldwin Jenkins, I met people who remain some of my closest friends. Over the next four years, those friendships developed while we all grew into adults. Dorm rivalries, late-night studying, the tennis team, Jan Terms, intramurals, study programs, Saga: All provided a context to learn who we are and how we fit with one another.
And our community wasn't just any community. Learning about self, about values, about worldview was done in the context of Whitworth's Christian community. What does it mean to be a Christian? What is our purpose here on Earth? A semester in the American Studies Program in Washington, D.C., pushed me the most. There I was challenged by professors who said, "So you're a Christian. Now, what are you going to do about it?"
Since Whitworth, I've found those same three themes guiding my life: responding to life's challenges, becoming part of a community, and trying to serve God.
After graduating, I volunteered for a year with Habitat for Humanity. It was challenging; there was a built-in sense of community, and serving God was a core value. It had everything – except a paycheck. So after a meaningful year, I headed to our nation's capital to put my newly minted degree to the test.
Thanks to a Whitworth alum, I got a job in the U.S. Senate, on a committee for then-Senator Brock Adams (D-Wa.). I learned a great deal about politics and government, and a lot about myself. While I enjoyed much of it, I had trouble seeing myself there for the long term. For me, the community aspect was missing.
Next came Philadelphia and the Economic Development Program at Eastern University. To my surprise and gratitude, my graduate assistantship placement was with none other than Anthony Campolo. I couldn't get enough of his humor and poignant perspective on Christianity and service. What an experience! And what a taskmaster! He's all fun and games when speaking, but he quickly gets down to business in the office. Philadelphia is also where I met my wife, Amy. It is now clear to me that she was a much better find than Campolo. (Sorry, Tony!)
During one visit home to Selah, I learned of a job opening at a nonprofit in Yakima called the Office of Rural and Farmworker Housing (ORFH, for short). I applied, was hired and was excited about the job, though I was somewhat reluctant to be back in the Yakima Valley at first. ORFH builds affordable housing for farmworkers throughout Washington state.
The three themes re-emerged: Challenging work meant serving farmworkers whose low incomes, language and cultural differences and somewhat nomadic lifestyle create major challenges for housing, education, health and much more. A sense of community meant finding a church, making new friends and renewing old ones, and starting a family. There was a whole new sense of meaning and belonging. And through it all, what did it mean to serve Christ? It meant to participate in church and to be an involved, loving father and husband; to serve those whom society tends to leave behind; to be a good neighbor. All these and more.
Trust me when I say I'm far from having it all figured out. My two young sons sometimes ask me, "Dad, what do you want to be when you grow up?" First, I'm flattered they don't think of me as a grownup. And second, I'm not always sure of the answer. Maybe I'll be a baseball player or an astronaut. Or maybe I'll continue on in the world of affordable housing. No matter what, the questions that emerge from my three Whitworth themes keep returning:
How do we challenge ourselves to be better, to do better? How do we create community? How do we effectively serve Christ?
Turns out that those lessons are not only in the rearview mirror; they stretch out in front of the windshield, as far as the eye can see.

Controlling the languageI talked once with a farmer who repeatedly mentioned the "individualized housing" in which animals live. He slipped once and used "cage," but quickly corrected himself. OK, I told myself, it's the old control-the-language, control-the-debate approach. But the animals live in cages, and that's the term I'll keep using.
By: Jonathan Knutson, Agweek
I talked once with a farmer who repeatedly mentioned the "individualized housing" in which animals live. He slipped once and used "cage," but quickly corrected himself.
OK, I told myself, it's the old control-the-language, control-the-debate approach. But the animals live in cages, and that's the term I'll keep using.
I've always been skeptical of U.S. agriculture's effort to improve its image by trying to control the language. Most people see through it, and too often the attempt leaves the impression of having something to hide.
Wildlife management officials, for instance, frequently talk about "harvesting" game animals. True, the animals are a resource to be utilized wisely, and "harvesting" helps to get that across. There's a valid reason to use the word. But, c'mon, the word also is used, in part, to avoid saying animals are killed. Nonhunters know that; they're not fooled.
I hunt deer. I'm a terrible shot, so I rarely hit one. But when I do, I don't harvest it. I kill it. If I'm criticized for killing it, I'll respond like this:
Wildlife experts, using science and experience, determined the deer population needs to be thinned to reduce disease and depredation. I applied for a state hunting permit, which I received and used.
To be fair, efforts to control language can pay off. Not long ago, I was surprised to find myself asking a farmer about "crop protection products." Once, I would have asked about the pesticides he's applying. But after years of conditioning by the chemical industry, I succumbed temporarily and used crop protection products.
I certainly understand why the chemical industry and farmers use the term. "Pesticide" can sound scary. So can "insecticide" and "fungicide." Saying we're applying products to protect crops sounds so much nicer than saying we're applying chemicals to kill bugs, weeds and disease. Still, now that I've caught on, I've gone back to using pesticide and the others.
Pick your spots
I'd like to think that agriculture doesn't need to use bland terms to describe sometimes-controversial practices. I'd like to think the best course is explaining, honestly and simply, why some animals are kept in cages and why chemicals are applied to crops. If agriculturalists really believe what they're doing is good and proper, they should explain their behavior in clear, direct language.
Yeah, I know, critics of U.S. ag try to control the debate, too, with terms such as "factory farms." But I question whether that justifies agriculturalists in playing the same game.
Maybe you think I'm being naive. If so, drop me a line.
Philip K. Dick, the late, great science fiction writer, once said the best way to manipulate reality is to manipulate words. Some in U.S. agriculture seem to share that belief. No doubt they'll continue trying to control the language and the debate.
But aggies need to pick their spots carefully. Playing with words too often and too blatantly weakens ag's credibility. A cage is still a cage, no matter what you call it.

Tesla says new electric powertrain deal with Daimler will exceed in value sum of all its prior powertrain agreements
10 May 2012
In its letter to shareholders reporting Q1 2012 results, Tesla Motors Chairman, Product Architect and CEO Elon Musk and Deepak Ahuja, Chief Financial Officer, said that the company had recently signed an agreement with Daimler to create an entire electric powertrain for a new Mercedes-Benz EV, formalizing a joint effort kicked off in Q4 last year. (Earlier post.)
This program is expected to exceed in value the sum of all powertrain agreements signed in Tesla history. [Approximately $280 million, according to Tesla.] Producing at this expected volume will allow for economies of scale that give the resulting vehicle a cost of ownership that is on par with its gasoline equivalent.—Letter to Shareholders
This will be Tesla's third deal with Daimler, following component supplies for smart cars and A-Class hatches.
Other highlights of the quarterly report included:
Losses widened to $89.9 million as sales of the Roadster wind down and prior to the release of the Model S.
The first Model S customer cars will be available in June, ahead of the announced July target; Tesla is maintaining its target of 5,000 vehicle deliveries by year end.
Tesla raised the bottom-end of its prior 2012 revenue guidance by $10 million, to $560-600 million, up from $550-600 million.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Tesla says new electric powertrain deal with Daimler will exceed in value sum of all its prior powertrain agreements:
"will be available in June, ahead of the announced July target"
Well done.
Seems Mercedes-Benz strongly believes in Tesla.
With a successful Model S(please do not shoot self in foot), America has a new Silicon Valley automaker.
It is very wise of Tesla to share their developed products with Toyota and Mercedes, for added returns and wider spread of the new technologies.
Most encouraging is to see the high degree of acceptance at the Model S price point. This broadens the EV/PHEV market across entry level and luxury. Probably why Mercedes is upping the ante.
This is a rather astonishing feat to build a brand new automotive company from scratch - in the midst of a slow economy. Congrats Elon and Tesla.
BTW, the interior of the Model S is sublime. Looking forward to a test drive.
A clear conclusion from this is that Daimler have decided to adopt copper rotor INDUCTION MOTOR for their electric vehicles, rather than motors based on permanent magnets.
IM control is much more complex that PM motors', and few experts in the world exist with such experience (programming vector control of IMs).
TeslaMotors all models use induction motors, not PM motors.

Comet Lovejoy shows off its two 'tails' in Australia (VIDEO)
Comet Lovejoy, the cosmic kickball that last week amazed astronomers by escaping from the Sun, is doing a sort of flashy victory lap around the Earth. Skywatchers in the Southern Hemisphere have spotted C/2011 W3, as it's known to its comet buddies, trailing a luminous dust plume across darkened skies.
Actually, it's more impressive than that: Lovejoy is rocking two so-called "tails." The first is a dust tail of particulate matter shedding off the comet's icy epidermis; this is the kind of dandruff that can later pass through the atmosphere as meteors. Lovejoy's exhaust pipe is also spraying out a gas tail composed of electrically conductive ions that glow in the blackness of space. The gas tail is magnetically active and is blown around like a windsock by waves of solar wind. Sometimes it is blown off entirely as was the case with Comet Encke in 2007. (There's also a third tail made of sodium, although we generally don't get to see it. Here's an example from Hale-Bopp.)
People in Australia have had a great shot at seeing Lovejoy tour our solar system just before the Sun rises. Below, find a wonderful time lapse taken by Colin Legg of Mandurah in southwest Australia. Says Legg: "Had a beautiful view of the comet this morning. I took this sequence to try to capture the changing face of the comet as twilight progressed."

For the last 20 years, I have lived in Abu Dhabi, Toronto, and Dubai, the largest chunk of time being spent in the latter of the three. I am a Pakistani-Canadian of dual-citizenship, but I pretty much consider Dubai my hometown.
This year I am an Upperclassman Advisor on Gummere 1/1, and I'm a junior Math and Economics double major. While my majors are fairly quantitative, I enjoy studying history, law, political science, and some philosophy. My current plans for after graduation involve finance or economics research in the financial industry, with the possibilty of a PhD in the future.
My activities outside of the class include the South Asian Society, the Haverford College Humtones, Multicultural Scholars Program, the Bi-Co Finance Club, and The Women's Center.

Pennsylvania's Coleby Frye Eyes NDRL's $20,000 Prize
at Roaring Knob
Selinsgrove, PA
(August 3, 2013) Coleby Frye of Dover
scored his third win of the season in the 30-lap late
model summer championship race. Frye collected $2,000
for the victory, which marked his 12th career the
track. Matt Cochran of Williamsport was the late model
fast qualifier with a lap of 19.239 seconds.
Frye took command of the
field at this point and led the rest of the way as
eighth-place starter Jim Yoder and seventh-place
starter Dylan Yoder made a run at him on several
restarts. At the finish,
Frye was victorious by 1.5
seconds over J. Yoder, D. Yoder, Jim Bernheisel, and
Tim Wilson.
Video from BigJimsVideo.com
The event's first caution flag unfurled on lap
three when AJ Hoffman and Tony Adams crashed
on the backstretch. When the race resumed, Rine
continued to set a torrid pace while Frye found a way
around Bernheisel for the second spot.

starter Jim Yoder, and third place starter Andy Haus.
On a lap 17 restart, Frye attempted to pass Rine for
the lead racing back into turn one to no avail. Frye
chased Rine around the half-mile at breakneck speeds
and on the 27th lap, made the winning pass
using the high line off turn two.

Wished Dr. Chan would be more concerned or explain to me thoroughly about her "diagnosis" for my back pain. She seems irritated all the time or whenever I have a question.
Dr. Chan was thorough, attentive and efficient. Her office was a little slow to process me, but it was worth it to see a doctor that was this helpful.
They charged me a large deposit in advance.
The office is clean and well equipped. Everyone is professional. Doctor is patient and knowledgeable, and answers all questions I have. Careful diagnosis and right to the point.
Did not have an appointment and yet was able to see her
She was great and answered all of my questions. Her staff was friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend her.
So far so good
I love Dr Chan! She's very attentive and caring. In one appointment she make sure to check on every health concerns I have.
She is very informative and dedicated doctor. Keep up the good work Doc!
Had a good experience, everyone was very professional and attentive.
Very knowledgable and thorough. No BS. Best use of technology i've seen at a GP in a while. Staff was extremely helpful as well. Great experience.
Just went to refill some meds, but seemed genuinely concerned about my health. Nice lady.
she is very thorough and she takes walk in which is great! her front desk leaves something to be desired. i would recommend filling out the forms through zocdoc to save yourself some frustration.
Quick, professional, very satisfying visit!
Can you call her a doctor? Not professional and so rude
Very professional and quick! Staff was very friendly and helpful
In the fast pace world of NYC, you need to be quick, quick, quick. Dr. Chan is pretty good- gets in you and out. No time for small talk. She diagnosis you, sends the script and a hopes that I am better.
Doctor Chan was really thoughtful and professional and there was very little wait i highly recommend her
She is thorough and really very nice. I would def recommend Dr, Chan to friends and family. Office personnel were warm, helpful and friendly. I'm using Healthrepublic insurance - be sure to verify with Healthrepublic before your visit - I had to cancel my first visit because I was not in the system yet.
As usual, Dr. Chan and her staff were caring and professional. Dr. Chan listens and explains everything you need. Dr. Chan also answers any questions you may have. I and my husband are very happy with Dr. Chan.
Great doctor...caring, attentive, and knowledgeable.
Always a pleasure! Quick and helpful. She truly does care for her patients. She spent nearly an hour my last appt trying to find me a good specialist! How many doctors can you say will do that for you?
I've been very happy with my new Doctor! She is straight to the point and confident in her decisions. She also gives great referrals and is extremely easy to get an appointment with when needed. I definitely recommend her!
Dr Melisa is nice and nurse and reception also nice too.
Staff is very kind. Dr Chan is not very friendly , neither is she unfriendly just very business like. However, she is very thorough and straight to the point and helpful. You get in and get out. Good doctor and great staff. Highly recommend.
Short and sweet. Thanks!
Nice front office and assistants. No-nonsense doctor. Thanks!
I had several diagnostics tests.
Dr. Chan followed up with me about my skin infection. She remembered key details and took care of me really well. I appreciated her efficiency.
Very very productive! I am pleased with her and her staff!
I've stated this before but Dr. Chan's brisk manner is actually very appreciated. If you have a concern, state it! She will slow down and listen and give all necessary attention to it. Otherwise, she doesn't waste any time in getting to what you need and how to treat you. Her nurse practioner is also incredibly efficient and diligent. I'm very happy with my experiences here.
Dr. Chan is personable, well spoken and her office is efficient and generous of appt. reminders. Highly recommended.
she is awesome.love her n the entire staff .I would recommend her to everyone
She is a great PCP!!! I currently pregnant, and was due for a flu shot, as well as have questions about starting the Hep B or Hep C vaccine. We worked together to find out the necessary precautions, and safety of the treatment. She is the BEST!!!
I am completely satisfied with her diagnosis, bed-side manner and professionalism. Dr. Chan is very interested in healing her patient, finding the issue on the patient and tackling the issue from the root with the best possible treatment. A unique feature in Dr. Chan's practice is that appointments can be obtain in a short time and referral appointments with other specialists are made at one's discretion in a short time as well directly from her office. I already have recommended Dr. Melissa Chan to a couple of my best friends and family.
Professional MD with concern.
The staff was super friendly. The doctor was very attentive.
She saved my life ??????
I am very satisfied.Dr. Chan is an excellent Dr. Her assistants are efficient and kind.Dr Chan's office is clean.
Quick, fast service and she's a thorough doctor.
Dr. Chan spent a lot of time with me during my annual check-up. She is nice and very patient with me. I have been with Dr. Chan as my PCP since 2001. I have been very happy with her.
My visit with DR. Chan is pleasant from my very first visit. She is very open minded and will help you in any way she can, even if you need to talk about something. Her employees are awesome as well.
She is great and I has been seeing her for the past 8 years.
Dr.melissa is the best doctor I ever had so far. The wait time is super awesome. Short. The staff is so nice. I recommended to four friends already. The doctor alway get to the point.
Dr. Chan is very nice and the wait in the office was not long at all.
She was very pleasant and genuine.
Great as always. Dr. Chan knows who to refer me to for specialized advice or treatment.
Good. Dr.Chan and her staff are very kind and friendly people. They make you feel relax in the office.
I have been a patient of Dr. Chan for almost 10 years. She is an attentive and nurturing doctor. She and her staff gives thorough exams and checks. Her office is equipped with two TVs and magazines to cure boredom. The communal restroom is clean and tidy. Overall, she is a wonderful doctor with a marvelous staff and office.
Excellent job.
Excellent as always
She seems very competent and I have no complaints with her care, but she could slow down a little and explain things more thoroughly—seemed rushed when I went back for my followup.
She cares a lot about her patients and their family..and treats me like a friend..
Dr Chan has taken care of me for 12 years she's caring, considerant and deeply concerned with her patients. I'm very fortunate with her being my caregiver for so many years
My favorite doctor and stay with her more than 10 years.
She is straightforward, no-nonsense and to the point, which I love, and figured out the problem without rushing - conducting an extra test to make sure - which filled me with confidence. I felt better before I left her office!
She was pleasant and thorough. I'll have some tests & return 2 see her in 2weeks.
Overall, she is a good doctor, but I made an appt for 12:30 and I didn't get seen by her until after 2:30PM. Her office needs to work on adhering to appointments on a more timely basis and not squeeze in last minute patients ahead of those who did make appointments.
a cold doctor
Extremely efficient doctors office. Both Doctor Chan and her staff were quick, thorough, and courteous. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Dr. Chan is very professional and knowledgeable. I am very confident that I am getting the right medical care. Her office staff is welcoming and efficient. Dr. Chan is caring, takes the time to clarify medical problems, and takes her work very seriously. I am fortunate to have Dr. Chan as my internist.
Straight and to the point and very effective.
A caring & knowledgeable physician. Highly recommended.
My second visit was as good as the first, DR. Chan answered all my questions without any hesitation. So far, she's my favorite physician.
Dr. Chan is a good and efficient doctor. She is willing to listen and considerate of my input before making recommendations. She provides adequate and straight forward explanations. If you call her and leave a message, then she will definitely call back. If there is any issues beyond the scope of primary care, then she will not hesitate to refer me to a speciality. She is alway professional. She may not seem warm and friendly at first. But, she will eventually warm up.
Dr. Chan did an excellent job explaining the results of recent tests and recommending medication for a problem that needs to be addressed. She also helped with her opinion and a referral to a specialist in connection with another issue.
Very friendly and helpful
Excellent and caring doctor. Absolutely the best. Very straightforward. Most of all, a kind lady. Would recommend her to loved ones.
Very thorough.
What everyone else says. Quick, to-the-point; but thoughtful, responsive, and patient. I never feel rushed. She lets me finish my thoughts and listens carefully.
The staff is professional. Dr. Chan is attentive and straight to the point. I walked in today without an appointment and the wait was reasonable especially see how many people had appointments. Walking wait was about 30-35 mins.
As usual, Dr. Chan, the nurse and the staff were very warm and welcoming. Dr. Chan spent a long time with my asking questions and answering our questions. Thank you Dr. Chan and your team.
The doctor Attitude is not very good.
Not very personable at all. Bed side manner lacks loads and she is angry, impatient, and just seems like a horrible person. Idk why you'd choose a profession like medicine and act like the grumpy cat with a white coat on??
She is very caring, thorough and timely. Intelligent and a clear communicator. She is efficient without feeling rushed, too. Her staff is also friendly and helpful.
After reading the other reviews, I was over prepared for Dr. Chan's brisk manner and she threw me off by starting with a joke! "You must be really sick to be in here" because it's a snowstorm outside. I found Dr. Chan and her staff to be extremely focused on providing excellent service and making sure I was treated appropriately. They explained every test and the results to me. Yes they were efficient but it wasn't without lots of focus and concern. Who doesn't want that in a doctor and their team?!
generally caring and attentive.
I like Dr Chan overall, but I find her to be a little curt and cold in terms of personality, and her whole visit tends to always feel quite rushed. You will get top notch care, that's for sure, she will thoroughly investigate whatever is wrong with you, but if one of your requirements is a gentle bedside manner and plenty of time to discuss your issues, she's probably not the way to go.
Overall very good visit. Dr Chan's office was very patient and kind as I tried multiple times (and wound up waiting over an hour) to get ahold of my other doctor to find what vaccines I needed. They were quick and through with the appointment. And they carry vaccines that I couldn't find elsewhere!
She was quick, thorough and I was in and out in 10 minutes. Everything I want from a doctor...
Dr. Chan is great! Caring, compassionate and very thorough, her mild manner and quirky dry humour add to her charm.
Very thorough and straight forward. Love her.
I read the reviews before I booked my appointment and I can see where they are coming from. I was prepared, and just needed to see someone in the SoHo area. Dr. Chan is one of those people who seems cold and chop-chop, but once she warms up, or really gets into some of your questions, you might be surprised by a laugh. Everything's good from then on. At least that's what happened to me. She seemed quite knowledgable and drew me a diagram when I had further questions. It was still done very quickly and (some might say) coldly, but I knew then not to take it against her. :)
She was very rude! Hopefully if ill you have another option!
No wait time at all. Very efficient physician and caring doctor. Also, the nurse is nice and warm. Thank you Dr. Chan and staff.
Very efficient visit!
Melissa and her assistant were efficient, clear and nice. The office was clean and the equipment looked pretty modern. The receptionist was a very kind older lady. Highly recommended!
Very efficent, no nonsense approach, bery fast (seen on a thur afternoon 1:45pm)
Sure, Dr Chan's bedside manner isn't super warm & cozy up front - she is pretty to the point. But you can also tell she genuinely THINKS about what's bothering you and how she can help. She is efficient and asks lots of questions. If you give her a chance, she kinda grows on you. Her staff are quite sweet people. Nothing at this practice is hugely tech advanced or anything, but it's clean and comfy.
Very friendly receptionist, lovely nurse and professtion doctor. My visit was so quick, no waiting time although it was the first time for me at Dr. Chan's office. I am a new patient and I am happy with my first visit.
I had read all the reviews on here about the doctor and her staff being too mechanical before coming for my first visit but I didn't find this to be true. They're just very focused and direct which I actually appreciate, myself - to the point.
She my Primary Care Physician
I've been to Dr. Chan twice and never so much as had time to open a magazine in the waiting room before I was called to see her. The visits are quick, too, as Dr. Chan is to-the-point in asking questions and making recommendations. She can be blunt, and, for some people, her bedside manner may be off-putting. But, as an introvert, I like that there's no small talk, just business, and then we're done.
Very efficient which is what I like. I can see some people being upset with her bedside manner but it is just very strait forward.
She is always knowledgeable and very straight to the point. Too many doctors just beat around the bush, she thankfully is always straightforward. Highly recommended for those who just want and in and out situation.
It was good, professional doctor, great staff
Not very helpful. would not revisit
She was thorough and very professional.
Was taken into the patient rooms really quickly. Doctor Chan was very attentive to my issues, and very helpful in providing a solution. Will definitely go back again.
Dr. Chan is not the least bit friendly and shows a general lack of concern. She is cold, kind of like a drill sergeant during examinations, and very careless. She doesn't seem interested in alternative forms of treatment/practices, so if you have that type of mindset I would recommend elsewhere. Her assistant is also very robotic---think The Stepford Wives or something--super programmed! However, the receptionists are very nice, warm, and helpful. Also, the wait time is no more than 10 minutes, so if you are really sick and need a prescription or something this is the place to go, as she always seems to have open time slots on ZocDoc--this may be a sign though. It comes down to this--if you don't mind being just another number then Dr. Chan is for you ;)
Dr. Chan was efficient and got the job done for me. I needed antibiotics for a sinus infection, and she helped me out. Waitstaff was easy and nice, I was seen on time, and Dr. Chan patiently answered the couple of questions I had.
This was my first appointment with Dr. Chan. She was thorough, but to the point. The office staff were friendly and helpful. I have been looking for a good primary care doctor for some time and I may have found her. I'm definitely going back.
Dr.Chan is very thorough and genuinely cares about the overall health of her patients, not just treating their symptoms.
Melissa was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I will certainly return!
I never want to go back again.
Thorough, simple, and quick!
Too pushy! It made my visit awkward and I felt like I was being scolded by my mother after I broke her favorite vase. (thumbs down!) The she rushed me out of her office.
As a new patient I waited no more than 10 minutes, filled out some paperwork and was escorted in my her very kind nurse. They took my concerns about a progressively worse cough seriously and gave me medication, prescriptions, and a referral for a chest xray after a few tests showed I was not breathing properly. They were so concerned!
She is a great Doctor, professional but caring
i had a good visit... even tho i was sick...
Doctor was good but you have to pay extra for any other office procedure done during your visit.
Excellent, beloved doctor! She took time to listen and sought to discover by follow-up every ailment shared. Excellent office staff too--which is a blessing! I received efficient documents outlining all my follow-up appts. Nice to see Chinese TV programs in wait room too! great Chinatown location.
Super professional. Very thorough. Think I'm going to make her my new primary doc.
she's solid, knowledgeable, opinionated but definitely willing to listen, and seems to act out of only professional rigor and desire to help you.
Worst doctor's experience I've ever had, bar none. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to anyone. I think that sums up my experience.
Dr. Chan was extremely knowledgable, asked a lot of questions and obviously thought about my conditions over the last six months before suggesting a course of action. I was extremely pleased with my visit with her and look forward to returning to her as necessary.
Thorough and professional office and Dr. Chan and staff were excellent!
She was to the point, informative and kind.
A 25 minute wait to be seen by the nurse. Receptionist sent my prescriptions to the wrong pharmacy. The nurse wasn't a very good listener and didn't seem to understand why I was there. However, Dr. Chan herself was very good. I would go back.
She was very straight to the point, professional, and pleasant. She listened to my needs and addressed them. No fluff, just in & out. I have found a new Doctor in my neighborhood!
Good doctor. But the wait area is extremely busy and the staff are so busy.
My appointment with Dr. Chan was my first and it will be my last. I have to say, it was mostly the bedside manner aspect; it was rushed, vague and I did not get a sense of her to be thorough WHATSOEVER. During my gyno exam, she snapped at me to stop being "so tense"—the irony of this is odd, since I was coming in specifically for pain and that did not seem to register with her. The exam lasted 5 seconds, she got up, literally told me "you're fine" and walked out of the room. LITERALLY. Her diagnosis was nonexistent and I was left in complete awe of how fickle and dismissive she was. Her medical assistant was nice but the rest of the staff seemed sort of messy, a lot of things were unclear to me. When I called about my test results all the assistant told me was that "it's okay". I asked about which specific test and all she kept saying was "it's okay"; this was after days of calling to see if Dr. Chan could explain my results as I had several tests done and she never called, even though they said she would—instead, she gave off my results to an assistant who CLEARLY did not know what she was looking at. They told me I needed to come in again if I wanted it explained—again, this was not what I was told! This makes me extremely uneasy, they just did not seem thorough or engaged with patients to address their concerns at all.
She was very professional, listened to all my concerns, helped me with follow-up appointments, and got me in and out quickly.
Dr. Chan was incredibly helpful. She is very kind, personable and knowledgable.
Very thorough.
The doctor was very aloof and unsympathetic. She almost made me feel bad about myself for being ill.
The receptionist was nice and attentive, the doctor seemed a bit rushed, could use some tender loving care approach and take her time during exam.
Follow up visit went well. Always professional.
Dr. Chan and her staff are very efficient and thorough.
The wait was long, and the Doctor seemed knowledgeable but was very cold and made me feel like I was wasting her time. The nurse is very nice and the front desk is efficient.
I have seen Dr. Chan a few times now and have come to discover that she is amazing. She is very personable & caring. She cares very much about her patients. She is also very sweet. I highly recommend her! Thanks Dr. Chan for being such an amazing doctor and treating your patients with the utmost respect!
I felt like I was her only patient of the day.
Wonderful! I will be going to Dr. Chan for all of my medical needs from now on. She listened to my concerns, was thorough and extremely attentive, and made me feel well cared for. I highly recommend her!
Good experience. Doctor and staff are very thorough and professional.
Dr. Chan was very professional and easy to talk to. Highly recommend
Overall it was a good appt. Dr. Chan and her staff were nice and helpful. Note: co-pay was cash only.
She was attentive to my concerns and took time to explain all my questions. She projected herself as a reliable and experience doctor. I would recommend her to all my family and friends.
Thorough and to the point.

Yup, that's me. I still lurk there some. Can't seem to get past the BMW thing. Since I traded the K12S I've had the GSX1250FA that I owned for a total of 87 days

Sure wish Twin City was still around.
Would love to hook up for a ride sometime.... when it cools off some.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewPlayers first meet Gaz at the very beginning of Call of Duty 4. He is the instructor during the firearms exercise at the start of the game. It is also mentioned that he has the fastest time in running the practice course that is set up to resemble the cargo ship on which the game's introductory mission takes place. The dialogue shared between him and Captain Price sets the tone for the missions and displays the close relationship that the two have. Gaz is voiced by an English actor called Craig Fairbrass, who was fairly popular in the 90's.RoleGazGaz is with the player throughout the campaign in all of the S.A.S. missions. Although he is an important character, he never appears to be much more than an AI squad mate, as the game still leaves the crucial duties up to the player. He sometimes splits off from the player during missions, supposedly taking a separate path and completing a separate objective. This becomes the case in the later joint operations with the United States Marine Force Recon, when trying to stop the nuclear ICBM launch initiated by Imran Zakhaev in response to his son's suicide. During the second to last mission, in which the task is to locate the missiles' launch control center, Gaz takes a separate path through the facility, to find the main security room, open the emergency doors, and give "Soap" and Cpt. Price access to the control room. After that objective has been completed and the nuclear launch aborted, Gaz drives the truck in which the squad escapes the launch facility, pursued by Zakhaev's forces. When the chase is over, Gaz remains fighting the Ultranationalists on the bridge. However, it is seen that after the tanker explodes, he has either been wounded by the blast or shot, and is in a condition of extreme agony when Imran Zakhaev enters the scene. Gaz is left writhing on the ground as the player watches Zakhaev kill him point blank with a pistol.Relation to GhostAfter the release of Modern Warfare 2, there has been much speculation over the character Simon "Ghost" Riley, a Task Force 141 operative. Many have questioned whether Ghost is in fact, Gaz. Ghost and Gaz are voiced by the same voice actor, Craig Fairbrass. Riley's face is never revealed as he always wears a skull balacava and sunglasses throughout Modern Warfare 2's campaign. Riley is also executed by a shot to the head, however, so if he is secretly Gaz, his luck hasn't changed much.Quotes"Aw, is he taking the piss!?""Your fruit killing skills are remarkable."

The long and unhappy saga of the Local Sustainability Fund
29 Jun 2015
Last week the government announced a £20m pot of funding for charities. This sounds like good news, says...
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...
We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website.
If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings, the Help function within your browser will tell you how.
"Because that's the way we have always done it".
I've said this before, but if I had a dollar for every time I have heard that. Well, you know the rest...
And as the image above illustrates, just because you've always done something doesn't mean it isn't incredibly stupid.
This dawned on me over the weekend when I learned of the tragic death of a young Canadian hockey player involved in a fight on the ice a few weeks earlier.
Don't get me wrong, I love hockey (and I've only been living in Canada 9 months!) but I don't get the whole fighting thing. Trust me; the purist (male) in me likes nothing better than seeing two guys going toe-to-toe in a sporting contest, whether that is a game of football or in the boxing ring.
But surely in 2009 allowing this to happen in a game of hockey is just plain crazy? I am sure the traditionalists would say at this point, "but its part of the game, blah blah blah..."
Again I draw them to the image above and the poignant caption below it.
So back to fundraising for a moment.
Doing what we did last year because we did it that way the year before that, and in 1995 and in 1863 (Ok I'm being a tad facetious here) can often be really destructive.
This applies to big picture, strategic decisions (like which areas of fundraising to invest and focus in) to really tactical examples on a day to day basis.
One classic example of the latter is the use of 'thank you' letters. Most thank you letters are dull, lifeless and frankly a 'rip off' from the version we used last year or last campaign and so on and so on...
Because it's easy and it was adequate last time round so must be again this time, right?
We can often be inhibited by decisions and behaviors of the past. But let's make your first (fundraising) resolution of the year to not allow tradition to stand in our way and become destructive.
Make the right decisions for the right reasons. Not because someone made the decision for you six years ago.
Ben Wittenberg
14 Jan 2009
Agree with Redina and Jonathon to a point, but I think the underlying issues is the degree to which a conscious decision is made. Doing things the way you've always done them (putting you socks on before your shoes?) can be a perfectly sensible thing to do. The issue comes when something you've always done before is no longer good enough (or was no good in the first place) but you keep doing it the same way because you subconsciously assume it is still the best thing to do rather than actively questioning whether it is.
And remember, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got!
Redina Kolaneci
8 Jan 2009
Well Jonathon, I would agree with you and Steve that tradition can become 'baggage' and slow innovation. But, at the same time I would argue that there is a need for differentiation between say 'principles' of fundraising and 'methods' As the little ditty goes: 'Methods are many but principles are few - methods always change but principles rarely do!' Take the principle of the 'critical few', or 'if you don't ask you don't get', or as we argue at McConkey Johnston the four laws of fundraising: 'Find Donors - Win them for your cause - Keep them for the long run - Lift them from one level of giving to the next' Now, I would argue that whether in 1987 or 1999 or 2007 - a charity's fundraising was and is about 'Find- Win-Keep and Lift' or that whatever we do with our appeals or major donors the 80/20 principle will be at work. However, the methods or fundraising tools that can be used to apply the principles should change, differ and adapt to the ways people read or hear or relate to charities... I hope this makes sense. Redina Kolaneci

Jonathon - you're right, especially in these times of accelerating turbulence. 100+ years of history can now just as easily become 'baggage' to slow the innovation that is required. Historical timelines in annual reports need to become dynamic stories of demonstrable impact.

Thanks Steve. Absolutely. Thought it was a nice timely reminder for us all in the current climate and at the beginning of the New Year. Cheers, Jonathon

Do you think yourself creative enough to create your own apps? Now Google lets you do that with its newly released App Inventor for Android. App Inventor a piece of software that lets you create your own Android applications without programming knowledge.
"To use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer. App Inventor requires NO programming knowledge. This is because instead of writing code, you visually design the way the app looks and use blocks to specify the app's behavior.
The App Inventor team has created blocks for just about everything you can do with an Android phone, as well as blocks for doing "programming-like" stuff– blocks to store information, blocks for repeating actions, and blocks to perform actions under certain conditions. There are even blocks to talk to services like Twitter."
How can you be creative with the App Inventor?
Using App Inventor, you can:
- Store data about users
- Create quizzes
- Access phone functions like the GPS sensor
- And create just about any app you can imagine
With App Inventor, the cold war between Apple and Google will again heat up. Apple uses an Apple-specific API and their own fingers in seemingly every step of the development process, whereas, Google's release of App Inventor is an opening of which allows even the non-programmers to create apps.
The software uses the Open Blocks Java library that is distributed by MIT's Scheller Teacher Education Program and runs on both Macs and PCs.
