We had a wonderful time at Wicky Up! Monica was fabulous with her recommendations for dinner, trail map for a sunset walk, and directions/advice for Sequoia National Park. We loved being about to pick fresh oranges to eat and use for our orange juice in the morning. The breakfast was fantastic and my husband had a great time chatting with Jack! Our room was great and made us feel very much at home during our stay. If we are back in the area again, we will definitely be staying here.

My sister and I spent Easter weekend here and it was delightful! As we drove up the drive on Friday night it smelled like HEAVEN! the citrus groves mixed with the blooming jasmine was something I will never forget. Monica and Jack could not have been more accomodating. They hosted our adult daughters for breakfast on Saturday and we all spent several hours chattng in the shade and enjoying a rare opportunity to be together in lovely surroundings. The breakfasts were amazing-fresh orange juice, white grapefruit with lavendar honey, sliced oranges with balsamic reduction just enhanced the beautiful baked goods and breakfast casserole or omelette. The coffee was delicious, plentiful and available as early as we wanted it. Sitting on the veranda, drinking coffee and reading while the delightful scent of the orchards wafted in is almost indescribable. Monica also shared hiking tips and local restaurants with us as well. We really enjoyed learning about the lovely house and family. GREAT place!

We stayed for two nights over Easter weekend and took possession of the upper floor with 2 bedrooms, bathroom and delightful sitting area. Monica and Jack were outstanding host and hostess and we were spoiled and pampered from the moment we arrived until our reluctant farewell. From the lace edged cotton sheets, sprayed with Lavender water, to the bedside chocolates and sumptuous breakfasts, we were spoiled at every turn and Monica went out of her way to ensure we made the most of our two night stay. We would return again without hesitation. A luxurious stay in a beautiful and treasure filled homestead

In honor of National Grilled Cheese Month, Foodista is serving up some of our favorite recipes for this classic American comfort food. Cheese and fruit is a natural pairing. The sharpness of the cheese complements the sweetness of the fruit or preserves. This blackberry grilled cheese takes the flavor elements of a cheese plate and sticks them between two pieces of bread.
4 slices of french bread or any sturdy, thick bread of choice
2 tablespoons blackberry preserves
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
2 tablespoons walnuts, finely chopped
2 teaspoons butter
Layer walnuts, green onions and cheese.
Cook until cheese is melted.
Serve hot.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/517,462, filed on Mar. 2, 2000, entitled "CLUSTER-BASED VISUALIZATION OF USER TRAFFIC ON AN INTERNET SITE", the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates generally to visualizing traffic on Internet world-wide-web sites, and more particularly to such visualization that is cluster-based in nature.
Browsing the Internet has become an exceedingly popular application for computers and computer-like devices. In particular, sites on the world-wide-web (WWW, or web) have seen increasing visitation. A web site includes a number of web pages, identified by Uniform Resource Locator (URL) addresses. For example, a home page of a web site may be addressed as http://www.mypage.com/index.html.
As web sites have become more popular, tracking their usage has becoming important, especially for commercial sites. Operators of web sites, for example, are interested in determining how users proceed through the site in a single session. A session is when a user views one or more pages of the web site, in a particular order, before going to a different web site. By being able to determine how users are proceeding through their sites, operators are able to better understand their users, and how to make their web sites better.
For this and other reasons, therefore, there is a need for the present invention.
The invention relates to visualizing web traffic in a cluster-based manner. In one embodiment, a number of windows are displayed, corresponding to a number of clusters into which users have been partitioned based on similar web browsing behavior. The windows are ordered from the cluster having the greatest number of users to the cluster having the least number of users. Each window has one or more rows, where each row corresponds to a user within the cluster. Each row has an ordered number of visible units, such as blocks, where each block corresponds to a web page visited by the user. The blocks can be color coded by the type of web page they represent. In one embodiment, the corresponding cluster models for the clusters are alternatively displayed in the windows. The windows desirably can be made larger or smaller, as well as be scrolled through via scroll bars.
Thus, embodiments of the invention allow web site operators to view first-hand how users are visiting their web sites. The visual approach of embodiments of the invention provides for advantages as compared to non-visual approaches, since usage data for web sites can be increasingly large. Without a visual approach, for instance, it is more difficult for operators to make conclusions as to usage of their web sites, as compared to using a visual approach.
The invention includes computer-implemented methods, machine-readable media, computerized systems, and computers of varying scopes. Other aspects, embodiments and advantages of the invention, beyond those described here, will become apparent by reading the detailed description and with reference to the drawings.
In the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific exemplary embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that logical, mechanical, electrical and other changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims.
Some portions of the detailed descriptions which follow are presented in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. An algorithm is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. The steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated.
It has proven convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like. It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following discussions, it is appreciated that throughout the present invention, discussions utilizing terms such as processing or computing or calculating or determining or displaying or the like, refer to the action and processes of a computer system, or similar electronic computing device, that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical (electronic) quantities within the computer system's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computer system memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission or display devices.
Operating Environment
Referring to
Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including hand-held devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PC's, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
The exemplary hardware and operating environment of
The system bus 23 may be any of several types of bus structures including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. The system memory may also be referred to as simply the memory, and includes read only memory (ROM) 24 and random access memory (RAM). A basic input/output system (BIOS) 26, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer, such as during start-up, is stored in ROM 24. The computer further includes a hard disk drive 27 for reading from and writing to a hard disk, not shown, a magnetic disk drive 28 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 29, and an optical disk drive 30 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 31 such as a CD ROM or other optical media.
The hard disk drive 27, magnetic disk drive 28, and optical disk drive 30 are connected to the system bus 23 by a hard disk drive interface 32, a magnetic disk drive interface 33, and an optical disk drive interface 34, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the computer. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that any type of computer-readable media which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROMs), and the like, may be used in the exemplary operating environment.
A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24, or RAM, including an operating system 35, one or more application programs 36, other program modules 37, and program data 38. A user may enter commands and information into the personal computer through input devices such as a keyboard 40 and pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 21 through a serial port interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port, or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 23 via an interface, such as a video adapter 48. In addition to the monitor, computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers.
The computer may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computer 49. These logical connections are achieved by a communication device coupled to or a part of the computer; the invention is not limited to a particular type of communications device. The remote computer 49 may be another computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a client, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer, although only a memory storage device has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN-networking environment, the computer is connected to the local network 51 through a network interface or adapter 53, which is one type of communications device. When used in a WAN-networking environment, the computer typically includes a modem 54, a type of communications device, or any other type of communications device for establishing communications over the wide area network 52, such as the Internet. The modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 23 via the serial port interface 46. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It is appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of and communications devices for establishing a communications link between the computers may be used.
Cluster-based Web Traffic Visualization Techniques
In this section of the detailed description, various approaches and techniques for visualizing web site activity in a cluster-based manner are described. In the diagram of
In the diagram of
Desirably, the visible units are coded, such as by color, to indicate the different types of pages on the site. The types of web pages are referred to herein synonymously as the different parts of the site that can be visited by the user. Thus, for example, for a news-related web site, the visible units may be color coded as to the particular parts of the site, such as local news encompassing local news-related pages, global news encompassing global news-related pages, financial news encompassing financial news-related pages, sports news encompassing sports news-related pages, entertainment news encompassing entertainment news-related pages, etc. Thus, the path of a given user session within a given cluster through a web site can easily be determined via examination of the number and order of the visible units, as well as their color. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the rows within a window can be ordered based on a predetermined typicality measure of the users to which the rows correspond. In one embodiment, the predetermined measure is the probability of behavior based on location within a cluster, or, p(behavior|cluster).
As has been described, in one embodiment, each cluster to which a window corresponds has a corresponding first-order Markov model. Therefore, in one embodiment, a selected window or windows, or all the windows, can be made to display the corresponding Markov model(s) for these window(s), in lieu of the ordered rows corresponding to user sessions of a web site. This is shown in
Each row has in the columns 404 b, 404 c, 404 d and 404 e one or more visible units, such as blocks, that indicate a value by their shading intensity. In the diagram of
Each row has in the column 404 b a visible unit that has an intensity level indicating the frequency with which users visit that part of the site, or type of web page on the site, represented by the row. In one embodiment, this is the probability of visiting that type of web page on the site conditioned on inclusion in the cluster represented by the window, or, p(part|cluster). For example, the block 406 of the row 402 a has the maximum intensity level of 5, indicating that this probability is high. Each row also has in the column 404 c a visible unit that has an intensity level indicating the frequency with which a user's first visit is to the part of the site represented by the row. For example, the block 408 of the row 402 a has the minimum intensity level of 0, indicating that users within this cluster are not likely to visit this part of the site—that is, this type of web page of the site—first.
Furthermore, each row has in the column 404 d a number of visible units that have intensity levels indicating the transition probabilities of the first-order Markov model, such as p(part i at time t+1, p part j at time t), etc., as can be appreciated by those of ordinary skill within the art. Alternatively, the conditional transition probabilities, p(part i at time t+1|p part j at time t) can be indicated by the visible units within the column 404 d. Finally, each row has in the column 404 e a visible unit that has an intensity level indicating the probability at which the user leaves the site from that part of the site, or type of web page on the site, represented by the row. For example, the block 412 of the row 402 a has the minimum intensity level of 0, indicating that users within the cluster represented by the window 400 are unlikely to leave the web site from the part of the site represented by the row 402 a.
Methods and Systems
In this section of the detailed description, methods and systems according to varying embodiments of the invention are described. In some embodiments, the methods in particular are computer-implemented. The computer-implemented methods can be realized at least in part as one or more programs running on a computer—that is, as a program executed from a computer-readable medium such as a memory by a processor of a computer, such as the computer shown in and described in conjunction with

Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement which is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the present invention. Therefore, it is manifestly intended that this invention be limited only by the claims and equivalents thereof.

Netflix is great for the lack of commercials. I will keep up on a few different shows depending on the season. I spend most of my time outside when possible or going out. Going out for great food is also near top of the list.
Live music is something that can never be turned down. A good show will always pull me in. Softball and golf are good places to be, but travel is where it is at. When I have to burn PTO the vacations are always a little better.

Live and love today like theres no tomarrow, I'm a total country girl:)
Hi I'm Kimber, I have been divorced for 13 yrs and yes I have dated but have not been lucky enough to find Mr. rite so here I am. I have grown 3 kids who are my life I have 2 dogs and 1 horse that is boarded at my mom n dads horse farm in Saegertown. I love riding my horses, going for long walks, fairs, flea markets and so many more things that it would take this whole page. I just feel these sites are worthless and if you want to get in touch with someone and say hi there are other ways :) I'm not one much for talking on the phone like most girls, but I am a country girl and not like most girls. I have lived around Crawford Country all my life so there is a chance we may have seen eachother at one time or another somewhere.. My favorite place to hang out use to be The Rocking Horse years ago and now I go to Fat Boys alot for a change in senery and country farm folks...lol I really am looking for a man who loves kids, animals and the country life, because to be honest I'm a true country girl who hates city life. I believe everything in life happens for a reason and God Never gives us more than we can handle, it all just makes you stronger. I am not perfect but who really is in this world, we all have made mistakes in life and just learn from them and try to remember to not do it again plus when you meet the rite one you start from day one not from when you was a teenager so all that stays in the past and a new beginning begins for the both of us either as a couple or just friends but I believe you can never have to many friends in this world so here it goes :) , So if you like what you see and have some of the same interest and think you would like to let me know then go for it and we can see what happens.

Remote Start
Is there a way to change the settings for your heated/cooled seats? Heater/AC? What is the sequence to roll down your windows? Any other cool tricks?
I'm thinking about a tri fold cover for my crew sport. Who has the best price/quality for one? Website?
I read somewhere about a mopar t-handle but now can't find it. Anyone have a link?
Thanks for the help!
i bought the extang signature series tri fold since it is made of convertible type material i figured in the hot florida sun it would be better than all vinyl,shop on line there are many websites most offer free shipping and no sales tax
You can turn the remote start comfort convenience feature on and off in the EVIC. The temp will be set to the temp you last set it to. It will turn the heated seats on if it's cold and the seat ventilation if it's hot out.
Thanks guys, haven't made up my mind on a tri fold yet. I messed with the comfort feature, but it didn't do what i was hoping. Was trying to see if you could change the temp settings. Sometimes my heated seats come on, sometimes not. Guess it just hasn't been cold enough.
I used a BAK Flip G2 for my previous truck and will be ordering one for my Ram as soon as I get into town. I liked it because you can flip it up to the back window and use almost your entire box without having to reach under the tonneau. No need to completely remove the cover.

Calif couples tell of gay marriage ban's toll
SAN FRANCISCO Two same-sex couples gave intimate accounts of their private and public lives Monday during the opening day of a highly anticipated federal trial to decide the constitutionality of state bans on gay marriage, at times tearfully testifying about moments of awkwardness, disappointment and shame they said resulted from their inability to legally wed.
"I've been in love with a woman for 10 years, and I don't have access to a word for it," said 45-year-old Kristin Perry of Berkeley, the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit seeking to overturn the voter initiative that outlawed gay marriage in California. "In a store, people want to know if we are sisters or cousins or friends, and I have to decide every day if I want to come out wherever we go, if we are going to risk that negative reaction."
Perry and her partner, Sandra Stier, 47, and a gay couple from Los Angeles, Paul Katami, 37, and Jeffrey Zarrillo, 36, were the first witnesses in a case that could become a landmark that determines if gay Americans have the right to marry. Their testimony, designed to demonstrate that the law passed as Proposition 8 promotes inequality and bias, was expected to provide the human element during proceedings that will rely heavily on evidence supplied by academic experts.
Katami, a manager for a fitness company, described the 2008 campaign to pass Proposition 8 as a series of uncomfortable encounters. He recalled being stuck in traffic and seeing another driver with a bumper sticker promoting the measure as a way to protect children. Katami told her he disagreed with the message, and she responded that marriage "is not for you people."
"I pay my taxes, I own a house," he said. "But in that moment, being gay means I am less than, I have been relegated to a corner, and I'm tired of living my life that way because I think of myself as a good person."
The trial is the first in a federal court on the question of whether the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal treatment makes it unlawful for states to withhold marriage from gays.
Regardless of the outcome, the case is likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it could lead to laws that restrict marriage to a man and a woman being upheld or abolished nationwide.
The couples' chief attorneys are noted conservative litigator Theodore Olson and one of his former liberal adversaries, David Boies. Earlier in the day, Olson quoted the U.S. Supreme Court's own lofty description of matrimony to demonstrate what his clients were being denied.
"In the words of the highest court in the land, marriage is the most important relationship in life and of fundamental importance to all individuals," said Olson, who represented George W. Bush during the Florida recount in 2000 and later served as his solicitor general.
Olson had barely launched into his opening statement when Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who is presiding over the trial without a jury, interrupted him to ask how Proposition 8 could be discriminatory since California already allows gays to enter into domestic partnerships that carry the same rights and benefits of marriage.

All have their own areas of responsibility, but share joint responsibility as trustees of the Students' Union. Any student can stand to be an elected member of the Exec Team in the student elections that take place in March. All students are eligible to vote in these elections on-line. The current roles are as follows:
Activities and Development
Campaigns and Citizenship
General Secretary
Steve Biko Building[edit]
The Steve Biko Building (often referred to simply as the Biko Building, or Students' Union) is the Union's primary building and the home of its administrative offices. The building went under major redevelopment in 2012 which included a renovation of the foyer and meeting rooms, the addition of the new Café[2] and the introduction of a new store and sandwich shop. The building also contains a hairdressers and a print shop. The building is named after anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko.
In October 2012, the University announced that it would be awarding £4 milliion to the Students' Union in order to make further building improvements.[3] This is likely to involve the construction of another floor on the Steve Biko building and should be completed by 2018.
Barnes Wallis Building[edit]
The Barnes Wallis Building, named after Barnes Wallis, is situated on the former UMIST Campus (now North Campus). It originally contained the offices for the UMIST Students'Association. Unlike in the Biko building, the Students' Union does not occupy the whole building but has facilities on the ground floor. In 2013, the Union withdrew from these premises as part of the University of Manchester's Campus Masterplan.
Manchester Academy[edit]
Manchester Academy refers to the University of Manchester Students' Union's four concert venues. They are situated on Oxford Road both within and adjacent to the Biko building. 'Manchester Academy' was originally the name of the largest of these venues (see picture), but became an umbrella term for both itself and the Union's other venues in 2003. It has hosted such big names as Ian Brown, The Stranglers, Super Furry Animals, Deftones, Pink Floyd, The Cure, The Coral, Blur, Oasis, George Clinton, Nirvana, Manic Street Preachers, The Libertines, The Ramones, Billy Talent, Fightstar, Lost Prophets, Babyshambles, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Supergrass, It Bites and Death Cab for Cutie.
Student activities[edit]
There are many student-run activities which involve thousands of students in various roles including media, community volunteering fundraising for charity and over 250 societies.
Pangaea Festival[edit]
University of Manchester Students' Union is notable for regularly organising and hosting what is reportedly the largest student-led festival in Europe, Pangaea Festival. This is a biannual event where approximately 6000 students are invited to the Students' Union to enjoy a multi-venue music and arts night utilising rooms throughout the Steve Biko Building and the adjacent Manchester Academy 1 building, to mark the end of most University of Manchester undergraduate exams.[4]
The Mancunion[edit]
The Mancunion is the University of Manchester's Student's Union's newspaper. It is distributed at the 4 largest universities in Greater Manchester: University of Manchester, University of Salford, University of Bolton and Manchester Metropolitan University. A team of around 40 editors are responsible for the publication, and the current Editor-in-Chief is Aidan Gregory, supported by the Deputy & Magazine Editor Charlie Spargo. The paper has widespread circulation within the Greater Manchester student community and it is believed to have the largest circulation of a student paper in the United Kingdom[1]. The paper has caused considerable controversy and drew national press recently owing to its publication of a secret recording of a University of Manchester society in which it was proposed that homosexuals in Britain would be put to death if Britain became an Islamic caliphate.[2] The publication drew media attention because of both the sensitive matter reported and the use of undercover investigative journalism to obtain the story.
Student Action[edit]
Student Action is a community volunteering project that sends student volunteers out to work in the local community. In 2010, there were over 2500 active volunteers working anything from 20–300 hours over the year.[5]
Manchester RAG[edit]
Manchester RAG is the official fundraising arm of the University of Manchester Students' Union. It is responsible for helping facilitate the fundraising activities of all students in Manchester, and in doing so promoting the personal development of students. Last year Manchester RAG helped University of Manchester students raise £190,000 for a variety of charities, ranging from small community based charities in the North West, to large international development organisations.[6] The vast majority of funds raised come from the many events that Manchester RAG organise throughout the year. Popular events include Jailbreak,[7] a sponsored hitch where participants have to get as far away from Manchester without spending a penny in 30 hours, Bogle, a 55-mile walk around greater Manchester, and Beerfest, a three-day student run beer festival which attracts over 1500 students annually. RAG also runs many 'challenge' events such as sponsored expeditions to Mt Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp and the Great Wall of China. All fundraising is conducted by hundreds of student volunteers, and the organisation of RAG is run primarily by a committee of students who volunteer their time in addition to their studies.
Fuse FM[edit]
Fuse FM is University of Manchester Students' Union radio station. The Student Union Executive accepted the a proposal to create the station in July 2000 and work began on creating a base for the station, which was originally called MintFM. Space in the Union basement was originally converted into a fully functioning broadcast studio and production suite. Fuse FM went on air for the first time on 15 February 2001 at 06:00, broadcasting on 106.2 FM as well as via internet streaming. Since 2003, Fuse FM has broadcast for four weeks in each academic semester.[8] Fuse Fm was briefly denied its Spring 2008 license to broadcast, due to the startup of community radio station RockTalk. However RockTalk collapsed in late 2007 and Ofcom granted a license for FuseFM's 16th Broadcast.[9]
In September 2011, Fuse FM went online only broadcasting throughout the university term time. And on 29 April 2012 began broadcasting from new state of the art studios on the first floor of the Steve Biko building after generous funding from the Manchester Learning Enrichment Fund and donation of equipment from the BBC.
Fuse has a history of high quality student broadcasting and its DJs have won awards in the past three National Student Radio Awards. In 2007 Becca Day-Preston won the Bronze Prize for Female Presenter of the Year, Andrew Jackson won Male Presenter of the Year in 2006, while Minnie Stephenson claimed the Female Presenter of the Year award in 2005.[10][11][12]
There are many clubs and societies operating within the Union and the University. Common areas include sports, hobbies, politics and religion. Sports societies are not operated by the Union but rather by the University itself through the Athletics Union. There are several fairs during the freshers period in which various clubs and societies promote themselves.
There are a wide range of religious societies and places of worship within the University. A religions fair is held too, where information is distributed about the different societies. There are large Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist and Bahá'í societies which hold regular events and meetings.
Most of the large subjects have their own society, which generally represents the interests of students in that subject as well as offering advice and support to students and arranging socials. Examples include the BA Econ Society, the History Society and Faculty of Life Sciences Society.
The University also has a strong Drama tradition and former students include Meera Syal, Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall and Ben Elton. The Drama Society holds a yearly drama festival, involving 13 plays in five theatres and over 120 students, as well as coordinating several independent student-run productions. The Fringe Society in 2006 took twelve plays and over 70 students to the Edinburgh Fringe festival under the company name "Johnny Miller Presents". The company was awarded a ThreeWeeks Editors' Award, which honours the most talked about and exciting people and companies at the festival.[13]
Manchester Debating Union[edit]
The Manchester Debating Union (MDU) is a debating society;,[14] membership of which is also open to people from other higher education institutions in Manchester, including Manchester Metropolitan University. The MDU was founded in 1996 and is modelled on other similar university debating societies in the UK. The Union organises the participation of Manchester students in intervarsity debating competitions, as well as arranging public debates and hosting its own competitions at both university and school levels.[15]
The MDU was placed 5th in britishdebate.com's 2008/2009 European university debate rankings.[16]
The MDU holds regular public debates on Thursdays during University semesters. In the past these have included politicians such as Robert Griffiths[17] George Galloway MP, Lembit Opik MP, Tony Lloyd MP and Sir Richard Leese, as well as various notable experts, academics and campaigners. The MDU also trains its members for participation in competitive debating. Regular practice debates are held on Tuesdays and occasional master classes in issues such as international politics and specific aspects of debating are also held.
As well as the regular public debates, MDU holds 3 competitions throughout the year: one intervarsity, one national schools competition, and one local schools competition. As part of their local schools competition MDU members provide debating training to comprehensive schools within the Greater Manchester Area.
In the summer of 2013 the Manchester Debating Union hosted the European Universities Debating Championships, the largest student conference in Europe and second largest debating competition in the world.
Notable Campaigns and Issues[edit]
Twinning with a Palestinian University[edit]
University of Manchester Students' Union is twinned with An Najah University, Nablus, Palestine. A motion to enact the twinning was passed in a General Meeting in March 2007. The meeting was attended by over 600 students and the motion was passed by a majority of over 50 votes[18][19]
In November 2007 a motion was proposed in the general meeting. It resolved to freezing the University of Manchester students' Union's association with Al Najah University whilst awaiting a statement "denouncing terror and disassociating it from all terrorist organisations".[20]
An-Najah responded to the motion with a full statement written by the Right to Education campaign. An-Najah rejected the motion and all the accusations: "Neither the University nor its Student Council is a terrorist organisation, and the implication that they are is insulting." They added that the motion is: "defamatory because it repeatedly implies that ANU and its Student Council promotes, facilitates or has links with terrorism."[21]
An amendment was put forward by the "protect our twinning campaign". The amendment resolved to accept the invitation made by An-Najah University for an olive tree from the university to be planted on campus at Manchester as a gesture of peace and as a symbol of life, rather than requiring An Najah to accept the statement denouncing terrorism.[22]
This amendment passed with almost a two-thirds majority of the attendance of over 1100 students.[23]
The twinning would have ended in March 2010, in accordance with University of Manchester Students' Union Bye-Laws;,[24] however the sign was renewed by a decision of the executive team and remained. In October 2014, a motion was brought to the Students' Union to renew the sign and the twinning motion for an additional 3 years, and the idea went to referendum. Votes were 693 in favor and 204 against.[25] However, a legal challenge was brought to the Students' Union about the nature of the twinning motion and the sign itself, and the Students' Union responded by removing the large sign in March 2015.[26]
Famous Former Officers[edit]
- Anna Ford (President 1966-67) - Anna Ford was the first female President of UMU in 1966-67 and, on recommendation of the Students' Union became Chancellor of The Victoria University of Manchester on 16 December 2001. Upon the merger with UMIST she became the co-chancellor of the new University of Manchester.

Long considered to be one of the most species-rich ant genera, latest research has stripped the ant genus Paratrechina down to a single species- Paratrechina longicornis. This particular ant is one of the most widely distributed, found in nearly every tropical and subtropical location on the planet due to accidental human transport, and is considered one of the world's worst invasive ant species. A recent review of the genus in the open access Journal of Hymenoptera Research announces the discovery of a second species P. zanjensis, which presents a step forward into determining the native range of P. longicornis.
Native to Africa, and so far found only in miombo woodlands, the new species P. zanjensis is potentially specialized to this habitat. Miombo is the Swahili word for the Brachystegia genus of trees which are an important tree species within miombo woodlands. The specific name of this new species zanjensis is derived from the ancient Arabic name for the stretch of East African coast that encompasses parts of modern day Kenya, Mozambique, and Tanzania, where the species is found.
"Given the economic and ecological impacts of Paratrechina longicornis, discovering a close relative may provide us with insights into the biology of one of the world's worst invasive ant species. For instance, now that we know another species exist within the genus, comparative studies can begin to perhaps understand the attributes that make P. longicornis such a good biological invader," says Dr. John S. LaPolla of Towson University, USA.
Unlike its new relative, the long known P. longicornis, exhibits remarkable adaptability and is spread virtually worldwide through human activity and movement. The species is found almost in every urban center in the

The Great Chapeau Hunt!
As it was our last day in Paraty we got up early to take photos of the town and the harbour.

Our first night in our hostel room was not a total failure. Despite itching and scratching all night we woke up with all 4 limbs and no nibble marks anywhere- I checked very thoroughly.
