(Jul 09, 2010) It was reported on July 8, 2010, that Denmark's government is planning to amend rules on state grants to students to limit the number of years in which a student can qualify for the funding. By cutting the period to five years, the government hopes to push students to complete their education and enter the workforce more rapidly. Those who take longer to finish their studies could still be eligible for low-interest loans to pay their tuition fees. (New Rules Would Cut Eligibility Period to Five Years, THE COPENHAGEN POST (July 8, 2010), http://www.cphpost.dk/news/national/88-national/49419-changes-in-works-f
In Denmark, all citizens over the age of 18 who are in post-secondary school programs qualify for tuition grants, given by the Statens Uddannelsesstøtte Styrelsen (SU, or National Education Grant and Loan Agency). The amount depends on age, income, and living arrangements and ranges from 2,000 to 5,000 kroner monthly (about US$338-845). A government Tax Commission established in 2009 originally suggested cutting the number of years in which Danes could receive the SU benefits to four, both as a cost-cutting move and to encourage students to complete their degrees quickly. Some have argued, however, that the move will lengthen the number of years to complete a degree, since more students will have to have part-time jobs to finance their educations.

I love to cook, am an absolute foodie, and I love to paint… am interested in arts. Hobby is painting.
My Journey?
I come from a very disciplined educated family, so studies was the most important thing in life and the only thing.
In school, I was basically a quiet kid, The "simple sober intelligent kid" who had no fashion sense whatsoever. Till my 7th grade I skipped just about a single day of school in a year and was always awarded a 100% attendance certificate year after year. Looking back I feel I was pretty automated and following things that are idealistic. From my 8th grade my real growth began. I learnt to talk and communicate from being a kid who never opened her mouth!!. I had always had a love of computers –There was a minor passing phase, during my graduation days – falling sick and health issues gave me failure even at studies, that little brush with low times changed me as a person forever. I realized people are measuring me with a yardstick and "me" doesn't exist. I am being tagged as per choice for the person I am not. It only brought out a very strong, spiritual side in me -the real me surfaced and took control of my life. It also taught me to value my opinion and not to get affected by some section of society and people which constantly will continue to change and be judgmental.
My spiritual journey began and I was genuinely happy and at peace -:) I started to treat people more humane. I reached a platform where I absolutely love to to grow with people, and the amount of love and affection given by people only made me much more connected with humanity and my own self..
My Attitude?
You don't need to be serious to show your seriousness. Just work hard, the right way-leave the rest to god and destiny. God helps those who help themselves. There's actually nothing called destiny -The acceptance towards failures is a matter of choice and the choice is ours! Either we give up, or WE DECIDE THAT SOME1 HAS DONE IT, SO THE PATH EXIST. We only need to learn better with every failure, never give up. Every failure moves you closer to success and every successful person always has a story to tell!!
What Am I Doing Here?
Most of my friends have been into business, I realized I needed to help people build something for themselves. The entrepreneur inside me was awakened.
Over the net-initially the intention was just to set up a small site, I realized I didn't want something that cannot reach out to millions. In the process of wanting to achieve extreme perfection, I contacted marketers and studied their models.It makes me sad to see people working so hard over their blogs & businesses and still being a failure. Or people not working hard and expecting to earn millions.
Myth: blogging earns you a lot of easy money.
Fact: millions of blog exist that earn no money at all.
So are there not really good blogs out there? There are excellent blogs but they don't understand fundamentals of marketing and internet. That's the number one issue.
So where is the money? Money is in being a marketer—blog is only a medium towards it. Yes! You can earn, but not without hard work, not without understanding marketing concepts.
Your goals and mindset should be clear about what your product is, and how your product is meant to reach people, be it any medium.
What Is My Purpose?
My purpose is to help you achieve your purpose in every sense of the word.
My site shall teach you fundamentals of marketing. how to,what to…everything that a successful site needs towards monetization.
I like to grow with people and explore the varying facets to each personality.
Let's learn something new each day and create that spark and magic together which takes you towards internal growth, an insane power, extreme perfection to understanding yourself better. Understanding the true essence of success and deriving your talents and true potential magnificently and in a way that you experience real growth. You develop true judgmental power to understand the depth of success/failures…It reflects a lot about you…people who pick up failures to make a success…are truly successful.
so lets began this journey
lets create magic, money in this new millennium
hold my hand and lets walk together, So again, make sure you opt-in to my newsletter to get more information.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions contact me at email@example.com, better still at facebook or twitter…I hope to see you there! I hope you enjoy the site and find it helpful!
This site is my way of giving back to people who have already given me in abundance. It wasn't setup just for monetary gains. Can't miss out a small thank you..to Alvin, Eric, Jonathan and optimizepress team. wonderful.
Thanks for stopping by! Thank you for spending the time to get to know me better here today. And I look forward to discovering you as well- this moment on!

Frequently Asked Questions (Spanish)
What is considered yard/landscape maintenance work? Landscape maintenance means trimming, some pruning, mowing, edging, placement of bark dust, application of fertilizer, adjusting sprinkler heads and programming irrigation controllers, and the upkeep of already-installed landscape projects. It also includes the planting of outdoor pots and containers when the pots and containers can be placed without the use of power equipment when empty or filled. Do I need a Landscape Contractors Board business license to do yard/landscape maintenance? Landscape maintenance is not a state-regulated trade. However, you should check with your city or county for local requirements. Do I need a Landscape Contractors Board business license to weed flowerbeds? This work is also considered maintenance work and therefore does not require you to have a landscape contracting business license. May I do actual landscaping work other than maintenance without a landscape contracting business license? Yes, if you are performing work for a customer that during the year receives primarily landscape maintenance services from you. However, you are limited up to $500 value (labor, materials, and other items supplied for landsapinga work at a job site) per job site, per year, and the work you do must be of a casual, minor, or inconsequential nature (see below). You are not allowed to install or repair irrigation or drainage systems, or construct or repair arbors, decks, patios, driveways, retaining walls, fences, walkways, or ornamental water features. You are not allowed to install landscape edging, but can replace non-concrete landscape edging. An unlicensed individual or business may not advertise any landscapng work, evenif it falls under the casual, minor,or inconsequent exemption. What is "casual, minor or inconsequential"? Casual, minor, or inconsequential work includes the replacement of trees and nursery stock with varieties that are similar in habit and culture; the replacement of existing lawns, the planting of annuals, perennials and bulbs in existing beds; the replacement of non-concrete landscape edging; the replacement of three or fewer malfunctioning or broken sprinkler heads with heads of the same or of a similar type and hydraulic equivalency; the adjustment of sprinkler head nozzles and the programming of irrigation controllers. It does notinclude the construction of new planting areas or the construction or repair of arbors, decks, patios, driveways, fences, retaining walls, walkways, concrete landscape edging or ornamental water features. "Casual, minor, or inconsequential" work does not inlcude the construction or repair of drainage or irrigation systems. Any unlicensed individual or business may not advertise any landscaping work, eve if it falls under the casual, minor or inconsequential exemption. May I repair irrigation/sprinkler systems that are already installed? Reparing of irrigation/sprinkler systems is not casual, inor, or inconsequential work. Only a licensed landscape contracting business may install or repair irrigation/sprinkler systems. You may however, replace up to three sprinkler heads of the same or similar type and hydraulic equivalency on a system without being licensed. This is to allow the maintenance person to replace a sprinkler head if broken while working. Any unlicensed individual or business may not advertise any landscpaing work (incuding sprinkler head repair within the abovementioned guidelines), even if it falls under the casual, minor, inconsequential exemption. May I prune or remove trees? You may prune trees up to 15 feet above ground level when the diameter of the limb is threeinches or less. You may also remove trees up to 15 feet in height whenthe diameter of the tree is 4 inches or less at ground level. Anything above that requires a Construction Contractors business license. May I plant trees? You may plant a tree only if you are performing regular landscape maintenance for the customer and are replacing another tree with one of similar habit and culture and stay under the $500 (labor & material) limit. Anything over $500 requires a landscape contrcting business license issued by the LCB. If someone asks me to install a flowerbed or garden plot do I need to be licensed? Yes, unless the bed is existing and you are changing flowers ($500 limit) or planting vegetables. What if I'm asked to replace a section of lawn? Do I need to be licensed? You may do patch repair work to fill-in or even-out the lawn area for a customer that in a calendar year receives landscape maintenance services from your buisness. This is casual, minor, or inconsequential in nature. Keep in mind that you cannot exceed the $500 limit including the value of materials and labor. What if I'm asked to repair a concrete walkway while I am doing maintenance work? This is notconsidered maintenance work. This would require a license with the Landscape Contractors Board or the Construction Contractors Board. Can I spread gravel for a walkway when it is part of the maintenance work? You can "refresh" the gravel, but you cannot create the walkway or install edging. What if I perform over $500 worth of landscaping work, but do not charge for it, do I have to be licensed? No, as long as you are not compensated for that work in any way. Compensation means payment made or value received in the form of money, goods, or services in return for landscape work. Bartering is considered compensation. When does maintenance work become landscaping work that needs a license? The minute you begin installing (or preparing the property to install) lawns, shrubs, vines, trees and other nursery stock, or when you install or repair irrigation or drainage systems or install arbors, decks, patios, driveways, fences, retaining walls, walkways, or ornamental water features you are performing landscaping work. What if I only design landscapes and I don't install, but I do subcontract to have the work done? You would be required to have a landscpe contracting business license issued by thelCB in order to arrange and contract for this work.. Can I advertise for landscape maintenance? Yes, but there are conditions. If the word "landscape" is included in your business namethis word must be followed by another word that clearly indicates the maintenance nature of your business such as "XYX Landscape Maintenance Company" or "XYZ Yard Care" (Landcaep Gardening" is not allowed). You cannot advertise under the heading of "landscape contractor" or any other heading that indicates you may be a landscpe contrcting buisness in any advertising media, but you are allowed to advertise under other appropriate headings without a license. Any unlicensed individual or business may not advertise any landscping work, even if it falls under the casual, minor or inconsequential exemtpion. Do I need to be licensed to apply fertilizer or to use pesticides? The Landscape Contractors Board does not issue this type of license. The Department of Agriculture issues the Pesticide Applicators Licenses. You can contact them at 503-986-4635. Can I spread bark-dust? Yes, this is not considered installation.

An extirpated
species is one that no longer occurs in an area but still lives in other
areas. The bison, elk, porcupine and black bear are extirpated from Illinois
but live in parts of the United States.
An extinct
species is one that no longer survives anywhere in the world. The Carolina
parakeet once lived in woodlands throughout eastern North America, including
Illinois, but is now extinct.
Why do species
become endangered or threatened?
Most plants and animals are able to adapt to their surroundings. These
species survive, reproduce in large numbers and are considered to be "common."
Endangered and threatened species do not adapt as well to changes and
reproduce in lower numbers. The reasons a species become endangered or
threatened vary but may include some of the following.
> chemical
or other toxic pollutant
> loss of important habitat
> introduction of an exotic species, or species that normally lives
in other parts of the world
> lack of laws to restrict the numbers taken by hunting, fishing and
trapping; this occurred historically but modern laws prohibit
losses for these reasons
> loss of very specific requirements for food, water or shelter needs
on the very edge of their range (the area where their population
Extinction is
a natural process. Historically extinction occurred very slowly. Today, with
the increased human population and our demand for natural resources, the extinction
process occurs much faster.

Ringing the bellThe stock market has been on a steady decline the past year. Perhaps Sam Bradford's golden touch will turn things around.
OU football notebook: Ringing the bell
Before flying back to Norman on Tuesday, Bradford will ring the bell to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Bradford will also attend a black-tie banquet in his honor Monday night, exclusive to former Heisman winners, members of the Heisman trust and OU representatives.
TAKING A HINT?Bradford has yet to reveal if he's leaning toward coming back for his junior season or declaring for the NFL Draft. Saturday night, during his post-Heisman press conference, however, Bradford was asked if there'd be a chance for him to win a second Heisman Trophy. "I think so," Bradford initially responded, before recanting somewhat. "Uh, we'll see."
BLAME IT ON SPURRIERDespite receiving the most first-place Heisman votes, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow finished third in the voting because he was left off many ballots. "They love us, or they hate us. They don't ride on the fence. That's Gator Nation," Tebow said Saturday night. "I love that about us." Where did this love-hate mentality come from? "I think it probably started with (Steve) Spurrier's swagger, to tell you the truth, with how he handled his situations," Tebow said of the ex-Florida coach. "It either drew people in or made people not like the Gators and the Swamp. I think everything started with him." So Spurrier lost Tebow the Heisman? "No," said Tebow, while cracking up at the reporter's question.

Diabetes team set for cycle ride to Skeggy
Posted: May 22, 2014|
Members of Leicester Diabetes Centre have entered an eight-man team to cycle the annual Leicester to Skegness bike ride on Saturday, May 31.
The team was invited to join the 85-mile ride by the event organiser Martin Issacs after the cycle organisers made a donation to the centre last year.
Tim Skelton, a member of the centre's cycling team and diet, lifestyle and physical activity biomedical research unit manager, said: "The team is really looking forward to the cycle ride and it is great way to raise awareness for the diabetes cause.
"We know that physical activity and simply moving more are important in the prevention and management of diabetes."
The diabetes centre, at Leicester General Hospital, is dedicated to research and creating opportunities for development and excellent clinical care for diabetes.
The centre's cyclists have been training for more than three months for the ride, which begins at Leicester's Clock Tower and finishes at Skegness Clock Tower.
The research staff hope to complete the ride in six hours and are raising money for the national charity Prostaid and local charities, including the city's diabetes centre.
Charlotte Jelleyman, a doctoral student at the centre, has appealed to people to support the cause.
She said: "Nearly every day sees a new story about the impact that diabetes is having on the health of people.
"With complications including blindness, amputation, stroke, heart and kidney disease, it is affecting millions of people across the UK and is seen as one of the biggest health threats globally.
"More research on how we can both prevent and manage the condition is urgently called for."
To support the team, go to:

The facts are the facts, and the fact of this matter is 2nd year TE John Carlson could be set to have a break out year.
He has learned the Offense very well from Receivers coaching staff, he is the most noticable player after the first 10 practices this training camp next to T.J. Houshmanzadeh and he's shows a remarkable presence on the field when it is time to catch balls and show what you can do with the ball and after the catch.
I have no doubts that if the Seahawks can win 7 games this year that John Carlson will be looking at a breakout season with very good numbers, good enough to see a shot at the Pro Bowl! The NFL took notice of him last year and the future only looks brighter for the Seahawks and John Carlsons future in the NFL.
With a receiving core that looks very healthy John will be a very vital part of second and long or possibly third and 4 type downs where Coach mora has shown his tendency in the past with no name TE, now in Seattle he has a TE he can count on.
John Carlson. The team's second-year tight end – and leading receiver in his rookie season – is so consistent that he turns in "player of the day" efforts almost every practice.
This morning, in a practice filled with big and even odd plays, Carlson again flashed repeatedly. He got behind safety C.J. Wallace in a 9-on-9 drill to take a deep pass from No. 4 QB Jeff Rowe. In the 7-on-7 drill, QB Matt Hasselbeck went to Carlson twice in the first four snaps – once over the middle and also in the flat.
But Carlson's best play came after Seneca Wallace stepped in for Hasselbeck in the 7-on-7 drill. Running a route across the middle from left to right, Carlson fought off middle linebacker David Hawthorne and then slid back to the left to catch the pass from Wallace.
All in a day's work for Carlson. Again.
"John is special," strong safety Deon Grant said. "And the really good thing about it, he's a humble special person. He likes to work. He runs great routes. He's got good speed. And he's got great hands."
Speaking of those hands, Grant added, "He has some of the best hands for a tight end since like Wesley Walls and Shannon Sharpe. Like I said, John is special."

FBI cast reporter as criminal in probe of North Korea leak
WASHINGTON — In another case of the Obama administration's investigating classified information improperly disclosed to reporters, the government is prosecuting a State Department expert on North Korea in a probe that appears to step into uncharted territory — by declaring that a journalist is committing a crime in disclosing leaked information.
During the investigation of State Department adviser Stephen Kim, law enforcement officials obtained a search warrant for some private emails of James Rosen, the chief Washington correspondent for Fox News. Investigators also tracked Rosen's comings and goings from the State Department.
An FBI agent seeking the search warrant spelled out the government's view of the journalist's role, saying that the reporter is a co-conspirator and that there is probable cause to believe the reporter committed a violation of criminal law.
"We are outraged to learn today that James Rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter," said Michael Clemente, Fox's executive vice president for news. "In fact, it is downright chilling. We will unequivocally defend his right to operate as a member of what up until now has always been a free press."
Kim, who is awaiting trial, is accused of revealing secrets to the news organization. No charges have been filed against Rosen.
The Kim case is further along than a more recent leak probe in which prosecutors secretly subpoenaed Associated Press phone records. In the AP case, AP President and Chief Executive Gary Pruitt said the government's conduct has had a chilling effect on news gathering, a week after the subpoenas were revealed publicly.
In June 2009, Rosen reported that U.S. intelligence officials warned President Obama and senior federal officials that North Korea would respond to a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning nuclear tests with another nuclear test.
The 2010 affidavit for a search warrant, first reported by The Washington Post, does not identify Rosen as "the reporter," but he wrote the story at issue, and Fox News confirmed it was him on Monday.
The White House would not comment about tracking Rosen, citing an ongoing criminal investigation. Instead, White House spokesman Jay Carney cited a media shield law Obama supports as evidence of his commitment to journalistic freedom, reprising an argument the White House used a week earlier in declining to address the Justice Department's probe involving AP.
"The president believes it's important that we find a proper balance between a need — absolute need — to protect our secrets and to prevent leaks that can jeopardize the lives of Americans and can jeopardize our national security interests on the one hand, and the need to defend the First Amendment and protect the ability of reporters to pursue investigative journalism," Carney said.
In the Kim case, "based on the investigation and all of the facts known to date, no other individuals, including the reporter, have been charged since Mr. Kim was indicted nearly three years ago," said the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, which is prosecuting the case.

Will Orcas Be Put on Display at Sochi?
Written by Public Radio International On 3 February 2014 @ 20:51 pm | 1 Comment
In English, Environment, Russia, Sport
This article and a radio report by Andrea Crossan [2] for The World originally appeared on PRI.org [3] on January 31, 2014 and is republished as part of a content sharing agreement.
How do you hide something that weighs as much as six tons, is 20 feet long and requires hundreds of pounds of food every day?
Listen to this story on PRI.org » [4]
That's the mystery researchers and conservationists are trying to solve, as they search for eight orca whales they believe were captured in Russian waters.
Rumors surfaced that two of the whales were going to be put on display at the 2014 Winter Olympics. And that ignited a firestorm.
An online petition [5], widely circulating on Twitter, demanded that the Russian company White Sphere not put the orcas in a dolphinarium in Sochi. At last count, the online petition had 400,000 signatures.
Please sign this petition http://t.co/vUe0BDOSAQ [6]. Stop Russia keeping orcas in tanks for the Sochi olympics. Thanks :)

There were numerous reports that the Russian company had captured the orcas in the Sea of Okhotsk and that at least some of the whales were in holding pens near Vladivostok. The Russian Fisheries Agency didn't respond to questions regarding quotas for orca captured in Russian waters.
A male orca is seen near the Commander Islands in the Russian Far East.
"We have information from within Russia that two of them were shipped to China," said Erich Hoyt, a research fellow with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation [8]. "We have confirmation that two of them have gone to Moscow. However, none of these four [other] orcas are anywhere on display."
But there's no proof that White Sphere has the whales — or has any plans to display them at Sochi. A spokesperson said the company doesn't "deal with the capture of wild animals or the transport of them." The spokesperson said the company was aware of the online petition and expressed concern about the uproar.
It's believed [9] the two Russian orcas that went to China will be displayed at a new Chinese theme park called Ocean Kingdom [10]. Ocean Kingdom features the world's biggest aquarium and advertises a massive collection of sea life, including beluga whales and whale sharks. But it doesn't advertise having orcas on display. Ocean Kingdom wouldn't comment on whether it planned to display orcas.
There has been a strong backlash to marine parks keeping orcas in captivity. It may be, in part, due to the impact of the 2013 documentary film "Blackfish," which examines the 2010 death of an orca trainer at SeaWorld. It also highlights the methods used to capture wild orcas.
"Definitely you can see that marine parks around the world are being much more covert about what they're doing with dolphins and orcas," said Tim Zimmermann, associate producer and co-writer of "Blackfish." "Ten years ago, I think you would have had [marine parks] advertising and proudly saying they would be displaying killer whales. But these days, it seems like a much more covert operation. We'll only know the killer whales are there when they suddenly appear in the pools."

The Romulan Senate
View Single Post
June 13 2012, 03:14 PM
Location: Montgomery County, State of Maryland
Re: The Romulan Senate
It has never been canonically established whether Romulan Senators are elected, appointed, or hereditary. However, we do know that Senator Pardek represented the "Krocton Segment" and was considered a "man of the people," so apparently public opinion can influence a Senator's power. We don't know if the "Krocton Segment" was a geographic location or some sort of ideological faction, or what.
We know from DS9's "
Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges
" that the Senate determines membership in the Continuing Committee, and the Continuing Committee determines the Praetor.
The recent novel
Typhon Pact: Rough Beasts of Empire
by David R. George III, however, establishes that the Romulan Senate is comprised of representatives of the one hundred wealthiest and most powerful Romulan clans -- making it fairly clear that the Romulan Senate is, in essence, a sort of House of Lords, comprised of the Romulan aristocracy. Each is appointed by the clan from which he or she comes, on the basis of the consensus of that clan's members and leaders.
Earlier novels, including
Vulcan's Heart
, established that the Romulan Emperor remains the subject of an imperial cult, but that the Emperor is a mostly ceremonial position -- though particularly venerated Emperors sometimes compete with the sitting Praetor for power. Think of it as being akin to the way a British Monarch would sometimes compete with or exercise power alongside a Prime Minister back in the 1700s and 1800s. However, later stories, including the short story "Blood Sacrifice" from 2004's
Tales of the Dominion War
, establish that the sitting Romulan Emperor was assassinated in 2374, shortly before the Romulan Star Empire entered the war against the Dominion, and that as of 2383 (
Typhon Pact: Plagues of Night
), the Throne remains vacant.
Democratic socialism is the hope of human freedom.

In reply to:
Luc de Schepper: Of course Sony shared the E-mount specs with Tamron. Sony has a 11% share in Tamron and they (Sony) benefit from more NEX-lens support. I wouldn't be surprised if the current non-Zeiss labeled NEX-lenses are all made by Tamron.
E-mount spec is shared by Sony to manufacturers of lenses and mount adaptors for free in case you missed the news last year

Istanbul Sultan
Turkish food in Dubai means much more than kebabs Discuss this article
Step outside any nightclub in the UK or Germany moments after closing time, and you'll see a torrent of inebriated midnight snackers heading for the nearest kebab shop, or imbiss in Germany. Needless to say, the unstoppable rise of the döner kebab, the spun meat sandwich cousin of the shawarma, has not done the reputation of Turkish cuisine any favours. But Turkish food's far more than the culinary equivalent of a regrettable one night stand. Like other Mediterranean cuisines, it's all about fresh, in-season fruit and vegetables, with lots of meat, nuts, bread and spices.
Considering Dubai's proximity to Turkey, and the large Turkish population in the emirate, it seems strange that the country's food is so underrepresented. Thankfully, a scattering of low-key Turkish restaurants can be found in Deira, particularly in Abu Hail. One such outlet is Istanbul Sultan, tucked into the warren of streets behind the Ramada Continental.
The sparsely decorated place keeps things simple at lunch. The meal starts with a light çorba, a lentil soup made with pepper and spices, a simple mixed salad, and a warm, white and fluffy bread similar to the Italian focaccia. This is followed by one of several simple stews, made with lamb or chicken, loaded with green bell peppers, tomatoes, button mushrooms and onion, and served with pilaf rice. In the evenings you can also order pide, hot bread usually stuffed with egg and meat, and the obligatory döner. All meals, naturally enough, should be followed by Istanbul Sultan's magnificent Turkish coffee, which will hopefully keep you awake long enough to find your way safely out of this far-flung corner of the city.

I teach a communication research course where the expected individual output is a thesis outline or proposal. The first half of the course covers the whole range of research methods, both quantitative and qualitative. After the midterm exam, the student has to work independently in between consultations with me or the few times that the class touches base to sort out some thesis proposal writing issues. A complete thesis outline includes these chapters: Introduction [nature and importance of the study, objectives, scope and limitations, time and place of the study], Review of Literature, Theoretical and Conceptual framework [conceptualized relationship between variables, statement of hypotheses, operational definition of terms], Methodology [location of the study, research design, sampling procedure, data gathering instrument, data analysis, data requirements matrix], and Literature Cited.
This is that time of the year when my thesis students are required to submit three development communication thesis topics. One email I received today from a student went this way:
Hi ma'am!
These are my research topics. I'm still confused with these topics. I hope to gain better ideas from you. Thank you.
1." Perceived influence of Books' Covers on students' behaviour and interest towards choosing what to read."
- How could books' covers affect students' interest on reading?
- In what way students look on books to read?
- Do books' covers affect their way of choosing? In what way?
2. "Effects of time duration on VSU students towards lesson retention and understanding"
- Does it affect greatly?
3. "Effects of message framing and peer factors between college students and high school students on evading vices"
My response:
You need to read the recent BSDC theses, journals, book, and Devcompage thesis/research coach to understand what thesis topics are like. A BS Devcom thesis has a section on "Suggestions for further research" which presents about 3-4 proposed research topics based on the thesis' results. Research journals and communication books present rsearch papers that can give one many ideas on possible thesis topics, perhaps a variation on the research reported in the journal. Finally, the "Thesis/research coach" of Devcompage has hundreds of comments from communication students asking for advice on their theses and my reply to those comments. Reading this page alone can give students many ideas on what thesis topic to pursue.
None of the thesis topics you suggested is acceptable. Remember you are a Devcom student. As such, your thesis topic should delve on development communication issues. Review the MDGs — what are the communication issues in any of the MDGs.
Read, read, read.

I am working with my thesis entitled, Motivations in Choosing BS Development Communication course among freshman students in the College of Arts and Communication, University of Eastern Philippines, Northern Samar… I have difficulties in finding support studies as well as related literature..i hope u can help me..tnx a lot:)
devcompage says:
Karen, perhaps you should read related research in the area of career choice not in devcom. In our university, your topic will just be a term paper. It is superficial. Read, read and read.
lani says:
We are required to make a thesis as our output in our technical writing subject and I was having a hard time choosing a good topic for my research. May you please suggest some good topics, basically a problem and must be related to our course development communication. Thank you in advance…

Lani, read the Devcompage posts on suggested communication thesis topics.

In The Medium Run, CAFE Costs Decrease
In The Medium Run, CAFE Costs Decrease
RFF Feature
February 3, 2011
From its inception in the late 1970s, Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards reduced the weight and power of vehicles on American roads in order to increase fuel economy. Now, with CAFE standards expected to increase by 40 percent by 2020, observers are wondering how much the changes will cost and how consumers will react to an increase in fuel economy.
Previous analytical models have looked at the short run (one to two years), using price changes to adjust to standards, and the long-run (10 years and over), when there was time for a large technology overhaul. In New Vehicle Characteristics and the Cost of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standard, Thomas Klier and Joshua Linn assess the medium run. Manufacturers redesign vehicles every four to five years, altering weight, power, and fuel economy to meet the new CAFE standards. The authors discover that in this model, modifications are indeed less costly than short-term adjustments to the sales mix. Will consumers pay for this increase in fuel economy? Klier and Linn find that consumers value an increase in power over an increase in fuel economy.

Beatlemania memories
My Beatles' Story
- hhanks, CNN iReport producer
My mother's voice still resonates in my head as she continued to scold me for asking the rest of my siblings to be quiet so I could hear a song that was playing on the old radio without interruption, while The Beatles sang "It's Been A Hard Days Night." My mother's innate ability was her guarantee that I would be the first one (out of 4 other siblings) to volunteer when she needed an errand done. Of course, I was happy to help her, as well, I saw this as the perfect opportunity for my plan, because it reaped a reward of at least 5-10¢. That's when you could purchase both an apple and an orange for a dime. With my planned treat in mind, I was eager to make my purchase – a flat package of bubble gum. Ironically, my mom did not allow any of us to bring gum home because, at times, we would unintentionally carry it home on our shoes. What she didn't know is that I was looking forward to making the purchase of bubble gum. I knew from some of my friends that there was something special inside the bubble gum wrapper. To my astonishment, as I opened the wrapper and discarded the gum, I found this photo of my music idols – the Beatles. Yeah, yeah, yeah! Wow, and it's autographed by George Harrison! What a moment! I was ecstatic. I could hardly contain the excitement till I reached the house. When I reached the house, totally exhausted from running all the way home, I swung open the porch door and ran into the kitchen holding my prize possession. I anxiously showed my siblings what I had found in the bubble gum wrapper. To my dismay, my mother spoke up and asked "What's going on?" I showed it to my mother and her reaction was not what I wanted to hear. She said, "calm down girl and stop being so crazy over these young boys. They look disgusting, especially with their really long hair." This was not acceptable according to my family's strict disciplinary rules. I bet she was thinking about my three younger brothers and hoping that they would not see this new trend in hairstyle for boys, for fear that this may sway them to follow suit. That would not be a good thing in our household. So, to avoid any further conflict, I plastic-wrapped my new Beatles' photo, headed upstairs and displayed it on my bedroom wall where it remained, untouched till I left home in 1966. Since then, it has become a special piece of memorabilia that I hold close to my heart, as it represents a piece of my childhood, and that is priceless. It has travelled with me wherever I have gone and survived throughout my married life and the raising of our two children. Fifty-three years later, it's still precious to me. Most recently, I have mounted in a frame and placed it on a shelf in my office. The lesson to be learned here: it's the little things that matter most.

Avid HEAT
Analog Warmth and Color Emulation for Pro Tools HD
|Product Information
|Add some HEAT to your mix. Get the warmth and sonic character of analog "in the box" with HEAT (Harmonically Enhanced Algorithm Technology), an easy-to-use Pro Tools|HD software add-on that gives you the euphonic characteristics of prized analog gear without the expense or added bulk. Whether you're mixing music or sound for picture, you'll get the unmistakable sonic characteristics of a vintage analog console or outboard gear to "gel" your mixes together - right in Pro Tools.
Developed in collaboration with renowned audio designer and Cranesong founder, Dave Hill, HEAT tightly integrates with your Pro Tools|HD system, enabling you to easily create rich-sounding mixes like never before - with unique warmth, punch, and clarity.
Old School Sound, Modern Technology
HEAT does more than just warm-up your sound - it actually fuses the color characteristics of vintage analog consoles, vacuum tube circuits, and analog tape into your mix using high-quality, sophisticated algorithms. In the analog world, euphonic characteristics are introduced across individual audio tracks when mixing on an analog console or tracking to analog tape. HEAT works similarly, processing all audio tracks individually. But it also gives you the power to tweak its Drive and Tone controls globally to get the sound you want, whether that means something richer, brighter, smoother, or livelier. You can also A/B individual tracks or the entire mix to compare your handiwork, choose a PRE or post insert state, or bypass HEAT altogether.
Set It and Forget It
HEAT uses the Pro Tools|HD TDM architecture to work its magic, but it's no plug-in, making it fast and easy to access and use. That's because HEAT appears right in the Pro Tools Mix window - no need to insert it on every individual track or select it from a menu. Use it on your entire mix, with global Drive and Tone control, for total effortlessness - just "set it and forget it!" - or bypass it on a track-by-track basis to only affect certain sounds.
The Magic of Outboard "In the Box"
Whether you're mixing music albums or music beds, you can finally step away from costly analog gear and get the sound you're after "in the box" with HEAT. Easily create great-sounding mixes that have the familiar sonic characteristics of being mixed through a vintage console or box - including the pleasant harmonic distortion that "glues" your mixes together - without having to endure the usual technical complexities - or expense.
Wake Up Your Post-Production Sound
If you're a sound designer or sound effects editor, adding a little HEAT to your tracks can make any sterile-sounding recording or canned effect sound punchier and livelier. Experiment and you can even change-up the character of audio assets into something better or more unique.

Some days you get good news and other days you get news that makes you want to tell your boss to shove it and drop kick your computer while you simultaneously urinate in the breakroom coffee pot. Today is one of those days in which you may want to keep your urine to yourself. Modern civilization is meaningless until the scientific community finds a way for humanity to avoid Mondays. We know it's hard to start your week, believe me I'm still in disbelief that this upcoming weekend marks the end of July. Life is tough. It's even tougher when you get kicked in the throat and have nowhere to silently weep while holding your neck in absolute pain.

Woman accused of trying to pour salt into gas tank of ex-boyfriend's car•NORCROSS - A woman was caught Sunday allegedly trying to pour salt into her ex-boyfriend's gas tank at Heritage Valley Court in Norcross. A resident of the house where the car was parked saw the woman pouring salt in the gas tank of her boyfriend's 1972 Chevy Impala, according to a police report. He confronted her to take the salt away and called police, but the woman left before an officer arrived. The ex-boyfriend said he did not know if any salt got into the gas tank, but the car seemed to be running fine. The resident who reported the incident said he didn't want the woman to get in trouble, but he wanted a report to document it. Woman reports teenage flasher•SNELLVILLE - A Snellville woman was flashed by a partially clothed man Monday at Amli Apartments on Country Walk in Snellville. The woman told police a boy who appeared to be about 15 of 16 years old came to her door at 5:20 p.m. asking if he could borrow a pair of scissors. When she returned with the scissors, the boy was only wearing his boxer shorts and his penis was exposed, according to a police report. The victim told an officer she believed the suspect was a neighbor; however, police were unable to identify or locate him. Man charged with disorderly conduct•BUFORD - A Buford man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly attacked paramedics trying to treat him for a seizure. An officer who went to West Jackson Street about 10 p.m. found 30-year-old Lane Rodereco Weddington unconscious and apparently suffering from a seizure. He regained consciousness after about five minutes and then became combative with emergency responders, according to a police report. While he was being led by paramedics to a stretcher, Weddington claimed he had been beaten up. He threatened to take revenge against those who assaulted him, telling an officer to "write that in your little (note) pad," the police report said. Weddington's erratic behavior suggested he may have been under the influence of a drug such as cocaine, the officer said. After he was placed in an ambulance, Weddington allegedly began swinging at two paramedics and trying to hit them. He was charged with disorderly conduct. High school students face drug charges•WINDER - Three high school students were charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute after school administrators allegedly found them in possession of the drugs on school grounds. The students at Winder-Barrow High School are Wesley Evans, 18; Donald Ray Dotson, 17; and Bruce Jonathan Cox, 17. According to a police report, Evans had three bags of marijuana at school with him Feb. 28. The same day, Cox admitted to assistant principals Jeff Beggs and Al Darby that he had a pipe that had been used for illegal drug activity, and they found several small bags of marijuana, a digital scale and other drug paraphernalia in Cox's 2002 Ford Taurus, which was located on school property. Both were charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school zone. Darby found Dotson with three small bags of marijuana, a bag with three small white pills and a bag of 26 small red pills, according to the police report. In addition to possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school zone, Dotson was charged with possession of legal drugs outside their original container and two counts of possessing dangerous drugs. - From staff reports

Looks like Kentucky.

Thrombosis Journal 2013, 11:14 doi:10.1186/1477-9560-11-14Published: 17 July 2013
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of heart arrhythmia and a leading cause of stroke and systemic embolism. Chronic anticoagulation is recommended for preventing those complications. Our study aimed to compare the cost/utility (CU) of three main anticoagulation options: 1) standard warfarin dosing (SD-W) 2) warfarin dosage under the guidance of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotyping (GT-W) and 3) dabigatran 150 mg twice a day.
A Markov state transition model was built to simulate the expected C/U of dabigatran, SD-W and GT-W anticoagulation therapy for the prevention of stroke and systemic thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation over a period of 5 years under the perspective of the public health care system. Model inputs were derived from extensive literature search and government's data bases. Outcomes considered were the number of total major events (thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events), total costs in Canadian dollars (1CAD$ = 1$US), total quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), costs/QALYs and incremental costs/QALYs gained (ICUR).
Raw base case results show that SD-W has the lowest C/U ratio. However, the dabigatran option might be considered as an alternative, as its cost per additional QALY gained compared to SD-W is CAD $ 4 765, i.e. less than 50 000, the ICUR threshold generally accepted to adopt an intervention. At the same threshold, GT-W doesn't appear to be an alternative to SD-W. Our results were robust to one-way and multi-way sensitivity analyses.
SD-W has the lowest C/U ratio among the 3 options. However, dabigatran might be considered as an alternative. GT-W is not C/U and should not currently be recommended for the routine anticoagulotherapy management of AF patients.

Greg Carey has once again made history for the St. Lawrence University hockey program.
The high-scoring senior forward was selected as a top three Hobey Baker Award finalist, becoming the first player from the school to achieve this honor.
Carey was chosen as a Hobey Baker Hat Trick finalist for college hockeys prestigious award a year after he finished in the top 10 in Hobey Baker voting as a junior.
I was a little shocked, said Carey, who learned of the news when he received a text message from St. Lawrence senior Pat Raley during a pregame meal with the Portland Pirates.
After leading the nation in goals (28) last season, Carey ranks second in the nation in assists (39), third in points (57) and first in power-play points (31).
This is as big as it gets and Im very happy for Greg and proud of not only him, but our program as well, St. Lawrence Greg Carvel said of the achievement.
As a junior, Carey was a top 10 finalist along with teammate and Canton native Kyle Flanagan, marking the first time two St. Lawrence players were recognized with this status in the same year.
Its definitely exciting, especially getting this honor for a small school like St. Lawrence, said Carey, who is also St. Lawrences first two-time top 10 Hobey Baker Award finalist. Im very proud of what Ive accomplished and to achieve this while playing in the north country makes it even more special.
Carvel credits Carey, a native of Hamilton, Ontario, with his dedication to academics, as he could have joined the professional ranks following his previous seasons, especially after his junior campaign.
I think its great, because Greg could have left school last year, Carvel said of Carey, a history major with a 3.68 GPA, who was an all-academic player for four years, as well as a member of St. Lawrences advisory committee on athletics. And thats a tribute to him as a student-athlete, hes a tremendous student and I think that played a part in him being selected.
Carey led the Saints in scoring for four straight years and repeated as ECAC Hockey scoring champion this season. He was also honored as the conferences co-player of the year and was a finalist for student-athlete of the year in the ECAC.
Its also a testament to the guys you play with, Carey said. Its an individual award, but this wouldnt have been possible without my St. Lawrence teammates.
Johnny Gaudreau of Boston College and Nic Dowd of St. Cloud State are also finalists for the award, with the winner to be announced April 11.
Carey generated 18 goals and 39 assists this season, which included a 20-game point streak.
Hes such an offensive threat, so this year teams really focused on him, Carvel said. Its a wonderful tribute to him of what he accomplished in his four years here at St. Lawrence and its great for our program. But I think were showing that even though people classify as a small school, weve had some big time results over the last couple years.
With his 185 career points, Carey tied Brian McFarlane (1951-55) for second on St. Lawrences all-time scoring list and is also fourth in career goals (84) at the school.
Its been a great experience, Carey said of his career. And especially earning the respect from your peers and all the coaches throughout college hockey to get this honor, that makes it very special.
After St. Lawrence was ousted from the ECAC Hockey playoffs with a quarterfinal series loss at Colgate, three days later Carey signed an entry-level contract with the Phoenix Coyotes on March 19. He has since played in six games and registered his first pro point with Portland, the Coyotes American Hockey League affiliate.
While Careys younger brother Matt, who shared the teams goal-scoring lead (18) with his elder brother, left St. Lawrence to sign with the Chicago Blackhawks two weeks ago and made his debut with the team on March 28, another pair of Saints have moved on to the professional ranks.
Senior defenseman Justin Baker signed an amateur tryout agreement with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL and senior Jeremy Wick has signed on with a pro team in Switzerland.
