Having the training be online was wonderful.
Posted by Unknown on 14th May 2015
Very easy to work with fast response when you need questions answered very professional I should have did it long time ago
This training is great!
Posted by Maribel on 21st Apr 2015
I will for sure recommend this training to everyone!
Easy access
Posted by Graham on 24th Mar 2015
The part of the training that worked best for me was that I could access it anytime and switch from course to course in no particular order. This helped me because I liked switching from subject to subject.
I would only suggest updating some of the information the training provided, for instance the Food Pyramid has changed and one of the courses goes over the nutritional values and proper serving amounts but it is outdated and incorrect to today's Food Pyramid.
Convenient and Informative
Posted by Kimberly on 13th Mar 2015
I liked the training as it was. It worked well for me and my schedule, especially allowing me the convenience of starting and stopping when needed. It provided opportunities to go back and review when necessary.
I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of detail and information that was included in the training. I am so glad that I decided to do the training. And thanks so much for making it convenient for my schedule.
Thank you for the online availability of this
Posted by Rosa on 2nd Mar 2015
I enjoyed the entire training. I have learned so much because of this training.
Very well put together.
Posted by Karen on 19th Jan 2015
All the trainings I have completed so far were very well put together.
The customer support is excellent!
Posted by Kim on 14th Jan 2015
This is all online which saves gas and time. The customer support is excellent! Photos are random but pleasant. I would suggest that there be more photos of games, puppets, etcetera as they are discussed in the course.
CDA on the double!
Posted by Unknown on 29th Dec 2014
My favorite thing about the course is the fact that it is all online. I had very good customer service when I needed to call with some question. I recommend this training if a CDA is what you're woking for.
Posted by Leanna on 19th Nov 2014
I enjoyed this class on infants/toddlers/preschoolers
I have been in childcare for 30 plus years and am surprised
each time I learn more about a topic I have been involved in for so many years. Thank-you.
I benefited a lot
Posted by Allison on 14th Nov 2014
During the training, I was able to take small "practice" quizzes" after some specific sections. This helped prepare me for the final test after the completion of each course. The narration was a little dry... more enthusiasm in the audio might catch a little more attention on some subjects. I was grateful for the course being online and at my pace. The courses were divided clearly and contained very useful information. I benefited a lot by accessing this material.
your company is Awesome .
Posted by margaret on 15th Oct 2014
Thank you for offering this service. :)
It was very easy to follow.
Posted by Jennifer on 26th Sep 2014
The fact that I could do the training on my own time. I have two toddlers of my own so there really is no time. I could take advantage of the little spaces I found in the day to work on this.
The information is great to have.
Posted by Emily on 25th Sep 2014
I work best by having both auditory and visual representation of information. Having both worked well for me. The information is great to have. I understand more now as to why we do certain things at school.
Excellent Trainings, I will recommend to my colleagues.
Posted by Maria on 25th Sep 2014
The summary of every training helps a lot because remains me most important information.
Early Childhood?
Posted by Unknown on 14th Sep 2014
I was under the impression that this course was targeted at a Preschool demographic. I am disappointed that so many of the pictures and references show an older age group. Desks? in a childcare? This does not seem to fit my expectation of the course.
Everything worked extremely well for me
Posted by Sarita on 27th Aug 2014
The best aspect of this training for me was the flexibility. This training was the perfect fit for me due to that reason.
This was a great way of completing my 120 hours!
Posted by Heidi on 21st Aug 2014
Just the fact that I was able to do it all online, on my own time, at my own pace. I loved that I could stop and come back to a course later. I also loved that I was able to complete in my own time frame. I only took 2 months, which worked out great for me and what I wanted to achieve!
LOVE that it is online!
Posted by Lois on 12th Aug 2014
The fact that I am able to complete the class while sitting on my porch enjoying a lovely summer evening is HUGE! Thank you!
It is great!!!

He urged the Government to review its decision to grant a one-year extension to potentially explore and extract unconventional gas.
In his letter Cllr Crossley said: "The springs are the life blood of this city, which is cherished worldwide. In economic terms, the city and region rely heavily on a tourist industry which is worth an estimated £380m annually to Bath alone and which employs 10,000 people"
Anti fracking campaigners claim that the process can lead to pollution of the water table which could threaten the supply to the Hot Springs from the Mendips.
Taunton Station plan gets £4 million boost
The plan to refurbish Taunton Railway Station has received a huge boost with the announcement of a £4 million grant from the Local Growth Fund
Railway station project partners Taunton Deane Borough Council, Somerset County Council, Network Rail and First Great Western today welcomed the news which means the south side of the station complex redeveloped can now be finalised.
Leader of Taunton Deane, Cllr John Williams said: "The enhancement project will transform an ageing, tired and increasingly congested station into a proud, modern and welcoming environment for passengers, businesses and the wider public.
I am delighted with this news and determined that it will create a thriving new 'quarter' in Taunton, adjacent to the Firepool regeneration site where our plans are also coming together."
New Airbus model touches down in Gloucestershire
The latest version of the Airbus has made its first visit to Britain and touched down at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire as part of routine certification tests.
The new Airbus A350 XWB was flown by London-born experimental test pilot, Frank Chapman, and is one of the four A350 test aircraft currently flying and undergoing rigorous testing before entry into service later this year. Captain Chapman said:
"The A350 XWB has significant UK input, as the wings and fuel systems are designed at the Airbus facilities in Filton, Bristol and assembled at the Broughton plant in North Wales, the engines are made by Rolls-Royce in Derby and the landing gear by Messier-Bugatti-Dowty in Gloucestershire."
"This visit is part of the aircraft's certification. Experts from the nearby Airbus Filton facility are playing a key role in supporting the fuel system tests.
"I'm immensely proud to be flying the first A350 XWB to land in the UK and look forward to this aircraft being a regular feature in British skies over the coming years."
Lacock Abbey lights to mark 175 years of photography
Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire is to be lit up this weekend to celebrate 175 years since the invention of photography. The National Trust building will be bathed in different colours as part of the abbey's second light festival.
Fracking debate hots up in the west
Groups opposed to fracking - the controversial technique of drilling for gas - have described a government incentive as "bribery". Further licences to explore in parts of the West could be issued later this year - in addition to one area of Somerset already identified.
Today the Prime Minister said councils that allow fracking will now be able to keep all the associated business rates as well as other benefits. Our political correspondent Bob Constantine reports from Westminster.

A panoramic 3D image is created by using multiple projectors whose field-of-view is narrower than the screen's width. Each projector provides a different image of a common subject from a different view angle, and the different images are mosaiced onto the screen. An observer may have a limited view of the composite image depending on which projectors are within the observer's field-of-view. A viewing volume is also extended by using space beyond a far limit line dependent upon the observer's inter-pupillary distance, the width of each projector's viewing window, and the distance from the projection baseline to the screen.
1. A system for creating a 3D panoramic projected image, comprising:
a plurality of projectors along a line where the projector at a starting end of said line is a starting projector and the projector at the opposite end of said line is an ending projector, said plurality of projectors defining a projection baseline, each projector in said plurality of projectors provides a shifted view of a common subject from a different view angle;
a screen having a width wider than the field-of-view any individual projector in said plurality of projectors;
the projectors are arranged so that each projector that lies between the starting projector and the ending projector provides a first image that is fully covered on said screen with partial image overlaps from other projected images from more than one of said plurality of projectors;
the projected images from each adjacent projector along said projection baseline are shifted along a common direction on said screen;
said first image forms a stereo-pair-of-images with any of the other projected images that has an overlapping region with it to create a local 3D projected image;
said screen is a retro-reflective vertical light diffusion screen having a vertical dimension and a horizontal dimension, a retro-reflective layer for reflecting light rays at substantially their incident angle; and a vertical light diffusion screen for receiving each reflected image from the retro-reflective layer and providing high image diffusion along said vertical dimension and minimal diffusion along said horizontal dimension so as to produce a distinct viewing window elongated along said vertical dimension for each reflected image;
said plurality of projectors are generally arranged along the horizontal dimension and positioned to project onto said retro-reflective vertical light diffusion screen;
the width of the vertical slit of each viewing window corresponding to a given projector is a function of the horizontal diffusion angle of the retro-reflective vertical light diffusion screen, the distance from the retro-reflective vertical light diffusion screen to the given projector, and the aperture size of the given projector's projection lens, said function defining the following relation for the width of the vertical slit:
W is the width of the vertical slit;

1. Field of Invention
The present invention pertains generally to displays, and relates more particularly to wide-view-area and wide-view-screen autostereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) displays.
2. Description of Related Art
Traditionally, stereoscopic, i.e. 3D, images are created by aid of headgear that control viewing of separate left and right stereoscopic images by the left and right eyes, respectively, of a viewer. Each of the left and right images displays the same scene from slightly shifted viewing angles that closely match the viewing angles of a viewer's eyes. By conveying the separate left and right images to the viewers left and right eyes with viewing angles closely matching each eye's normal viewing angle, an illusion of a 3-Dimensional, i.e. 3D, display is created for the viewer.
Although this approach is effective, the required headgear (such as head-mounted displays or glasses with specialized lenses for rejecting specific angle views) makes this approach cumbersome. An alternative to using headgear is to use autostereoscopic displays, i.e. specialized displays that display select images at specific view angles such that only by viewing the display at a specific view angle can one view a select image. Theses specific view angles are typically termed "viewing windows".
Autostereoscopic displays use special light directing devices to create separate viewing windows in the user's space, which allow the user to see 3D images without glasses. Since the designated viewing windows form a viewing space that is significantly larger than the size of the human eye, users can move their heads freely as long as their eyes are within the viewing space.
Current stereoscopic methods used to produce the viewing windows include parallel-barrier-based displays and lenticular-based displays.
Parallel-barrier displays use light blocking to produce viewing windows, but this approach results in a dimmer image since only a small amount of light emitted from each pixel passing through the barrier window. Overlap of viewing areas causes crosstalk causing one eye to see the image intended for the other eye. When crosstalk is significant, the one cannot perceive the stereo effect or cannot perceive it correctly. Parallel-barrier displays also use small apertures that can cause diffraction, particularly as the display resolution is increased. As the display resolution increases, the barrier aperture size is decreased, which causes more severe diffraction effects. Parallel-barrier displays divide the resolution of the original display by the number of views such that to display n views, the resolution of the individual view becomes 1/n of the original display resolution. Parallel-barrier displays suffer from dark pixel lines due to each view seeing only one pixel column out of n associated with one barrier window.
Lenticular-based displays offer some improvements over parallel-barrier-based displays. Lenticular-based displays offer higher resolution compared with the barrier slits of parallel-barrier-based displays, but they are generally more difficult and costly to make due to the need for high quality lenticular sheets. Generally, the quality of the lenticular-based display is directly related to the quality of the lenticular sheet used in the display. Aligning a lenticular sheet with a display also requires significant effort. Although lenticular-based displays offer benefits over parallel-barrier-based displays, lenticular-based displays also suffer from crosstalk between view windows, dark line problem, limited resolution, and limit number of viewing windows.
It is an object of the present invention to create a retro-reflective display with increased viewing area.
It is another object of the present invention to present a wide-screen, retro-reflective display.
It is still a further object of the present invention to apply the increased viewing area and wide-screen display to the creation of stereoscopic, multi-view 3D displays
The above objects are met in a system for creating a 3D panoramic projected image, having: a plurality of projectors along a line, the plurality of projectors defining a projection baseline, each projector in the plurality of projectors provides a shifted view of a common subject from a different view angle; a screen having a width wider than the field-of-view any individual projector in the plurality of projectors; wherein the projectors are arranged so that the images provided by adjacent projectors are partially overlapped on the screen and are geometrically aligned, the projected image from each adjacent projector along the projection baseline are shifted along a common direction on the screen, the plurality of projectors having an absence any photometric alignment from one projector to another.
In this system, an image projected by any one of the plurality of projectors spans a fraction of the width of the screen, and the partially overlapping images from the plurality of projectors create one composite image substantially spanning the width of the screen. This fraction does not span the entire width of the composite image.
Preferably each projector in the plurality of projectors provides a distinct image of a common subject, each distinct image providing a different view angle of the subject, and no two projectors in the plurality of projectors provide the same image.
The above-described, partially overlapped images are preferably of equal size. Also, the projected image from each adjacent projector along the projection baseline are preferably shifted by a common fixed amount along the common direction on the screen.
Additionally, optical axis of each the plurality of projectors is normal to the screen. Furthermore, the plurality of projectors are preferably equadistant to the screen along the direction normal to the screen.
In an embodiment of the present invention, each projector in the projection baseline creates respective viewing window, and a viewing volume from where an observer may view the screen is expanded to beyond a far limit line, D, defined as
Other objects and attainments together with a fuller understanding of the invention will become apparent and appreciated by referring to the following description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings wherein like reference symbols refer to like parts.
The presently preferred embodiment makes use of a retro-reflective vertical light diffusion screen. Such a screen is typically comprised of two layers: a first layer of a one-dimensional (1D) light diffusion material (which has a small diffusion angle in one direction and a large diffusion angle in another direction) and a second layer of a retro-reflective material (which reflects light rays back at their respective incident angle).

As depicted in

It is noted that an advantage of having a large vertical diffusion angle is that the viewing window is extended vertically. Without a vertically extended viewing window, the viewing window 425 might coincide with the projector lens, thereby making it not possible for an individual to view the reflected image within viewing window 425. By extending the viewing window in a vertical direction, a user can view the image in viewing window 425 by viewing from a position either above or below projector 410. It is further noted that the reflected image does not appear stretched or distorted within viewing window 425. Viewing window 425 acts like slit, or opening in an otherwise opaque surface, through which a viewer may see screen 405 in its entirety. Viewing window 425 may be likened to an opening between the boards of a privacy fence through which all of screen 405 is visible.
With reference to
In the present example, cameras 11 and 13 are used to create respective images of a common subject, i.e. soccer ball 515. It is to be understood that cameras 11 and 13 may be still picture cameras or moving picture cameras (i.e. video cameras). Cameras 11 and 13 may further be embodied by a single 3-D camera enclosure.
A stereoscopic image 21 can then be created by using two projectors 17 and 19 to project image 21 onto a screen 23. In the present example, projector 17 projects the left-eye image created by camera 13, and projector 19 projects the right-eye image created by camera 11.
An issue remaining to be addressed is how to assure that the image projected by projector 17 is received by a viewer's left eye and not by his right eye, and how to assure that the image projected by projector 19 is received by the viewer's right eye and not his left eye. In the presently preferred embodiment, this is achieved by having screen 23 be a retro-reflective vertical light diffusion screen, and thereby creating a retro-reflective vertical light diffusion display system.
With reference to
It is to be understood that each of viewing windows 27 and 29 produces a respective monoscopic image spanning the entirety of screen 23, but when viewed together, as is explained below, a stereoscopic image spanning the entirety of screen 23 may be produced. On the other hand, if only one projector were used, or if all projectors projected the same image, then a single monoscopic image would be produced since each viewing window would have the same monoscopic image.
As is explained above, the spacing between the eyes of a viewer, i.e. an observer, typically ranges from 52 mm to 78 mm. If it is desired to create a stereoscopic effect, it is further preferred that the projection lenses of projectors 17 and 19 be placed less than 52 mm apart (or alternatively be placed within the range of 52 mm to 78 mm). By spacing projectors 17 and 19 less than 52 mm apart, it becomes very likely that if an observer's left eye is within first viewing window 27 and thus viewing the left-eye image created by projector 17, then the observer's right eye will likely be within second viewing window 29 and thus viewing the right-eye image created by projector 19. In this manner, a stereoscopic viewing window 31 is created by combining two monoscopic viewing windows 27/29 from two adjacent projectors 17/19.
If desired, it may be preferred to increase the width of adjacent viewing windows (such as by increasing the spacing between the lenses of adjacent projectors) to be greater than the spacing between the observer's eyes so that the observer sees the same viewing window with both eyes. In this manner, the observer would perceive multiple monoscopic images of subject 515 from different view angles. Alternatively, the widths of adjacent viewing windows may be made smaller than the spacing between the observer's eyes so that the observer would perceive stereoscopic vision as the observer traversed the span all adjacent viewing windows.
With reference to
The display system depicted in
One skilled in the art would recognize that there are several advantages to a display system of the kind depicted in
Second, the display screen can be configured into different shapes. Due to the retro-reflective property of the material, the screen shape could take arbitrary forms, such as regular planar, cylindrical shape, spherical shape, or almost any irregular shape. These shape variations do not affect the refocusing property of the retro-reflective screen.
Third, the display system is easily scalable. For example, more viewing windows can be generated by simply adding more projectors.
Fourth, the display system does not have the resolution limitations of prior solutions. Even though all the images are projected on the same screen, each image is only seen in the designated viewing window; therefore, the resolution can be as high as the resolution of the projector.
Fifth, the display system does not suffer from a picket fence effect, i.e. darkened vertical lines between adjacent viewing windows. Because the user perceives one full resolution image from a single projector at each viewing window, there is no picket fence effect in the image.
Sixth, if the multiscopic system of
Finally, the display system can potentially have an infinite number of viewing windows. Although theoretically the display system can generate an infinity number of viewing windows, the number of viewing windows that can be generated depends upon the horizontal diffusion angle of the diffusion material, the distance from the projector to the screen and the size of the projector.
As is explained above, the presently preferred embodiment is a retro-reflective display system that contains a projection module and a special screen, as shown in
The following discussion is an analysis based on a presently preferred 3D display system. However, these results are also applicable to the other viewing window based systems discussed above, including the other viewing window 3D display systems.
In the above examples of viewing window based projection systems, the location of a projector (or a line of projectors) about which a viewing window (or multiple viewing windows) is created is hereafter identified as a viewing base line. For example,
In other words,
As second example,
In other words,
The following is a discussion of how to modify the full screen area and partial screen area of a display system in accord with the present invention.
With reference to
However, when the observer is located behind, or in front of, the projection baseline, outside any of the full screen areas, as is indicated by exemplary view point 43, the observer's field-of-vision, FOV, may span multiple viewing windows. This is similar to an observer viewing screen 23 through multiple, adjacent, physical windows. Just as the observer's field-of-vision may have only a partial view of screen 23 through each physical window, so too an observer at view point 43 may have only a partial view of each viewing window's corresponding projected image. Furthermore, the field-of-vision from view point 43 may provide a view of screen 23 through only some of the viewing windows. In the present example, view point 43 provides a view of screen 23 through view windows 3-7, and only a part of view window 7 is visible from view point 43.
In the present example, the projected image corresponding to viewing windows 3 to 7 are labeled 21_3 to 21_7. It is to be understood that each of images 21_3 to 21_7 spans the entirety of screen 23, and each are superimposed upon each other, but due to the special qualities of screen 23 each projected image 21_3 to 21_7 is visible, individually, in its entirety from its corresponding viewing window 3-7.
The projected image visible through each viewing window may be distinct to each corresponding image, but since each viewing window provides a view of the same image subject from a different view angle, the resultant effect is a composite of the same image subject from different view angles corresponding to view point 43. That is, the resultant composite image 47, comprised from partial views (21_3 to 23_7) from each of viewing windows 3 to 7 is approximately equivalent to seeing screen 23 from a new perspective viewpoint at view point 43. In effect, the view from view point 43 approximates a new view angle.
In order to have 3D perception, the left eye and right eye of the observer must see two different images (i.e. a left-eye image and a right-eye image), commonly referred to as stereo pair. The multi-view projection system of

In order to have 3D perception, the left eye and right eye of the observer must see two different images, i.e. the stereo pair.
Hereinafter, regions where the full screen is till visible, but with a weakened 3D effect due to the combination of 3D slices and 2D slices, is identified as Weakened 3D. The following are two configurations for extending the viewing volume of a 3D projection system by making use of the Weakened-3D region.
The following addresses two cases: a first case for use with relatively small screens, such as used in a home environment; and a second case for use with large screens, such as used in large venues.
With reference to
With reference to
Since the projectors are placed far away from the screen and the viewing volume is in front of the projectors, the individual viewing window size can be bigger than the human IPD. Therefore, projectors of large size and high brightness can be used. The screen for this setup could be very big (depending on the projector FOV and projection distance), but the size is still limited since each projector must still cover the entire width of the screen. This setup is suitable for a large group of audiences to view 3D contents in large scale.
In all the above discussed embodiments, each projector in the multi-projector system must cover the entire screen. This limits the size of the screen by the FOV of the projectors, and their relative strength. Basically, the screen size is fixed once the FOV of the projectors are fixed. Adding more projector will only create more, and finer, viewing windows, and may extend the viewing volume, but will not affect the screen size.
The following builds on the above embodiments, but offers an alternative configuration of a viewing window based display system that creates a much wider 3D screen.
With reference to
For example, for discussion purposes, it is assumed that a 3D image of a train is projected onto screen 99, and that the length of the train spans the width of screen 99. In the present example, the projection baseline is comprised of 49 projectors, and together, the 49 projectors provide 3D coverage of the width of screen 99. To achieve this, each projector provides only a part of the entire train image, and each part covers only a fraction of the entire image that spans the width of screen 99. Preferably, this fraction is does not span the width of the composite image.
For each of explanation, FOV lines are shown for alternate projectors to illustrate that each projector provides only a part of the entire train image, and that these parts overlap to create a composite of the entire train image. Each projector provides shifted image along a common direction, and each image is preferably shifted by a common, fixed amount.
In the present example, the train consists of one engine 71, four carts 72-75, and on caboose 76. Five projectors 61-65 provide the image of engine 71 at the front of the train, and five projectors 85-89 provide the image of caboose 76 at the end of the train. The other projectors in between provide the image for the rest of the train image between engine 71 and caboose 76.
For example, projector 61 has a field-of-view FOV61 that spans a region R1 at one end of screen 99, and provides an image that spans about three thirds of the length of engine 71 from its front end. Projector 63 has a field-of-view FOV63 that covers a region R61 of screen 99, and extends the image of engine 71 towards its end. The overlapped region 98 between projectors 61 and 63 provide are geometrically aligned so as to produce one continuous image without geometric distortion. However, due to the retro-reflective properties of screen 99, the overlap regions are not photometrically aligned. That is, since the image provided by each projector is reflected back to the same projector that produced it, there is no need to address any effects due to photometric properties (i.e. light-related properties, such as light intensity) of different images from different projectors being combined. This greatly simplifies the mosaicing of the multiple projectors along the projection baseline since once they have been geometrically aligned, no further adjustments are needed.
When viewed from behind the projection baseline, the present system's FOV is the same as the FOV of the individual projector. An observer standing behind the projection line will see only the part of screen 99 covered by the projectors within the observer's field-of-view. At different locations, the observer will see different parts of the screen. This is similar to the observer's real-life experience when standing close to a very wide object, such as a train. When the observer is close to the train, the observer can see only part of the train. In order to gain a broader view of the train, the observer would have to step back from the train some distance so as to fit the length of the train within his field-of-view. Similarly, the present embodiment, in order to obtain a wider view of screen 99, and hense of the prejected train, the observer needs to step back increase his field-of-view, or to walk the length of screen 99. As the observer walks along screen 99, he progresses from a first set of images provide by a first group of projectors to the next set of images provided by the next projectors along the projection line so that the observer has the sense of truly traversing the length of the train, or whatever image is provided on screen 99.
Three examples of the limited FOV of an observer are provided in
If the observer then steps back to location 91, then his FOV from this location will span 9 projectors, and the observer will have a wider view of screen 99. In the case, the observer would see region R91, and have a full fiew of cart 75 and a partial view of caboose 76 and cart 74, but the rest of the train would remain hidden from view.
If the observer were to then move to location 92, then the observer's FOV would span 16 projectors, and he would thus have an even wider view of screen 99. In the present case, the observer would see carts 73 and 74 completely, and have a partial view of carts 72 and 75.
Thus, this configuration can create a very wide screen (i.e. or equivalently, create a very wide image), which makes it is particularly suited to displaying wide panoramic scenes in 3D, whose widths are wider than the FOV of any individual projector along the projection base line.

Treatments for Testicular Cancer
If properly treated, testicular cancer is one of the least dangerous cancers. Over 90% of all cases can be cured.As with any cancer, cure is most readily and reliably obtained when every cancer cell has been eliminated. Because testicular cancer is most often found at an early stage (because men report problems with their testicles quite readily to their doctors), cure is the most common result.Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for both seminoma and nonseminoma type tumors. Radiotherapy after surgery is always considered when the cancer is early and is a seminoma. More controversial is how to treat the nonseminoma tumors after surgery.Some advocate chemotherapy in all patients, while some recommend only giving it to patients with more advanced disease, including those whose disease has spread to the lymph nodes. Radiotherapy is not usually given to patients with nonseminoma tumors unless the cancer has come back after chemotherapy or is very large.Some forms of treatment may affect your fertility. If you would like to be able to have children after treatment, talk to your doctor about your options. You may want to have your semen frozen for possible future use.Treatment may involve the following:SurgeryRadiation therapyChemotherapyMedications

Charles George Burton, 89
Charles (Charlie) George Burton, lifelong resident of West Point, IN, died Monday, November 05, 2012, at IU Arnett Hospital. Surviving are his daughter, Karla Jean Welchans (husband Steve), a sister- in- law Janet Leslie, grandchildren Adam Welchans (wife Kristina) and Ashley Welchans (fiancé Brian York), great- grandchildren Mitchell T. Jorczak, Reece S. Welchans, Taylor M. York, and, in a couple of weeks, Charlee A. Welchans will be born. He also leaves behind a loving dog Pete.
Charlie was born August 13, 1923 in Lafayette, IN to George S. and Mary H. (Tengen) Burton. Charlie graduated from West Point High School where he played trumpet in the band and was the basketball manager. After graduation, he began farming. Farming was not just a job for Charlie, it was his love. His love of the outdoors fueled his passion for farming, raising cattle and hogs, hunting, and riding his ATVs. In addition to farming, Charlie worked for the Cheesman's at the West Point Telephone Co. He also sold agricultural seed for LOWE Seed Company.
On August 1, 1954, Charlie married Wanda L. Leslie. They were married for 56 years, until she passed on January 23, 2011.
Charlie was an avid community member. He served on the West Point Volunteer Fire Department, managed the Sherry Cemetery, served as the Wayne Township Trustee for many years, was a 50 year member of the Shawnee Lodge No. 129 F. & A.M., and was a member of the West Point Lion's Club.
Everyone who knew Charlie loved him. He touched the lives of everyone who came in contact with him. His generosity, wit, and charm has left behind a legacy for his family to live up to.
Visitation is from 5-8 p.m. Thursday Soller-Baker Lafayette Chapel and funeral services 10AM on Friday Soller-Baker Lafayette Chapel . Final resting place will be the Sherry Cemetery, near West Point, Indiana. In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the West Point Volunteer Fire Department or West Point Cadet Park.

Re: 2013 elections[edit]
I'll fix what I can, if there's anything left to fix. When I updated (twice), I thought that all the votes had been counted, but it appears that they weren't. Now however, it appears that the CEC site contradicts itself, and lists the voting percentage as 66.6%, while having counted votes that represent over 66.7% of the voters. This might be possible because the soldiers' votes were not included in the 66.6% figure. I'll keep looking until I verify that the tally is final. Cheers, Ynhockey (Talk) 12:08, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
