Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 8, 2012.
Activists & entrepreneurs learn how to build and lead teams through game play.
About this project
UPDATE #6: The Final Countdown, new prizes & see what happened to John!
UPATE #5: Watch our video explaining the details of our prototype.
UPDATE #4: Watch Ala' explain his non-profit background and passion for this project.
UPDATE #3: Join our Activist group on Facebook.
UPDATE #1: Jane McGonigal and Jesse Schell backed our project almost instantly.
Youth are the future. The values they learn stick with them throughout their lives and shape our world. Ensuring they have positive experiences in community development experiences is essential to us living in a peaceful planet. Games can teach complex issues and change behavior better than any other method. Here's our pitch for the project, I hope you find it moving and consider supporting it.
Foundations and organizations invest millions of dollars in programs designed to help teams of youth improve their communities and the world. Over 80% percent of these projects are small teams of less than 10 people, and over 50,000 of these projects fail every year. Countless other youth-led activist organizations fail to meet milestones or simply disband before achieving their vision, lacking the information and skills necessary to avoid common obstacles along their path.
Team building is the biggest problem faced by youth activists, simply because it is rarely taught in schools. Our game will teach team building using real scenarios in a multiplayer game where they must form and build teams to succeed.
There are five main components to working well together as a team (read update 1 for the list). These have been researched by experts like Ruth Wageman from Harvard through decades of work dissecting team dynamics. We're creating a playful way to learn about each of these five components throughout different levels and stages of our game. They'll include:
- A single player game where you have to create teams and watch the results of their work
- A multiplayer game where teammates choose roles to accomplish a common purpose
- Scenarios that require forming boundaries between team members
These scenarios will help activists and entrepreneurs in the following ways:
- Games can teach collaboration better than any other medium
- Our game requires people to try out new roles
- We'll have multiple scenarios taken from real situations to allow youth to better learn of the common barriers.
We've finished and tested a paper prototype. Now our partners are ready for something digital that they can easily distribute. Help us make this a reality!
Ala' Diab and Nathan Maton teamed up in 2011 and in that short time have already produced two award-winning games. See Pandora's Blocks, winner of the community choice award at the Global Game Jam 2012 Mason site for our most recent production. Ala' just finished designs for a Facebook game about to be shipped funded by the Department of Education called Mission Admission. Nathan produced several large scale interactive projects like the official Twitter visualization for Super Bowl XLV and Foursquare's I Voted project in 2010. He currently manages Gameful.org, a serious game design community run as a game founded by Jane McGonigal. He's also worked on E-Line Media's Gamestar Mechanic. We're going to be designing and programming the game mostly by ourselves with support from an awesome team of national experts including:
- Dan Norton, co-founder of Filament games
- Charles Amis, game design lead on Gamestar Mechanic
- Jessica Bynoe, youth development expert
- Adam Fletcher, President of Common Action, over a decade of experience training youth
- Brandon Hill, Trainer at the Oasis Center for Youth Development
- Brad Lewis, Youth Development Expert
- Alan Gershenfeld, Co-Founder of E-Line Media
- Abby Kiesa, Youth Coordinator & Researcher
Over the last several years Nathan has devoted time to working extensively with youth activists, running an education policy group while in college, researching how youth develop their values, creating games to build more environmentalists and mentoring students in DC.
Our game uses team building research from Harvard done by Marshall Ganz and Ruth Wageman to focus on the key elements of forming and working effectively in teams. They include 5 key elements of teams: finding a common purpose, forming a team with diverse backgrounds, establishing clear roles, establishing clear boundaries and explicit norms.
In our prototype players have to work in clear roles to find clues and use them to convince NPCs to join a campaign. It is a multiplayer game and the more the players learn to collaborate, the better they'll do. They get to work with a variety of team members from other teams than the one they currently work on outside of the game to better learn their skill set. Then, in the final level, the original team must tackle a more complex problem that relates to their real work.
An example of a similar game is World Without Oil, an environmental alternate reality game where players lived in a fictional world that was running out of oil but took actions in their real lives to improve it. The game helped people create sustainable gardens in their yards and advocate for real policy change. Just like World Without Oil created better environmentalists, we're creating better young change makers.
Over the next 6 months we will turn our physical prototype into a digital game if funded. Support us to get to play it!
1) Send a personal message to all of your friends telling them why you pledged
2) Reach out to educators in your community and ask them to buy one $20 copy to test it in their school
3) Send a note to your local educator
Not to our knowledge.
That's the awesome work of Kelly Matten - http://www.inkplay.net/
There are five main components to working well together as a team:
1) Have diverse team members
2) Find a common purpose
3) Create clear boundaries
4) Create clear team rules
5) Create explicit norms
These have been researched by experts like Ruth Wageman from Harvard through decades of work dissecting team dynamics.
There are some major benefits of playing 4see that other tools don't have:
1) Games can teach collaboration better than any other medium
2) Our game requires people to try out new roles
3) We'll have multiple scenarios taken from real situations to allow youth to better learn of the common barriers.
We're creating a playful way to learn about each of the five challenges of working in teams throughout different levels and stages of our game. They'll include:
1) A single player game where you have to create teams and watch the results of their work
2) A multiplayer game where teammates choose roles to accomplish a common purpose 3) Scenarios that require forming boundaries between team members
For only $600 (you can see this type of course costs $3k from many other outlets), we'll be creating an 3 month online course for activists to check in that will use game based learning techniques to reinforce what our game will teach as well. The benefits of this level of backing will include:
1) A multiplayer classroom approach using experience points to highlight progress
2) Team based exercises that have proven success in fostering equal collaboration between members
3) Challenges/Bosses that will excite the students.
We are excited to run this and if Saturday afternoons aren't the best time we'll have a discussion with whoever ends up in that backing category to further discuss what times work best.

A discussion on the GM crops issues, featuring an advocate who is on the science and policy advisory group for ACSH.
The GM modifications that get the fanatics all bent out of shape are just changes in the characteristics of the crop, tailor made to increase production, decrease drought or pest sensitvity.
But the greenies get goofy and call it Frankenfood. Nonsense.

Nov 24
"You've seen some things…"
Monday night I left them to it,
Seeing I was the only non-blood family in the ICU waiting room
(which is for everyone, but we have somehow made ours in four long weeks)
And reading between the medical lines,
I pulled my jacket on.
One man, a stranger a month ago, hugged me.
"My God, don't all do that, I'll cry all the way home."
"If there's anything I can do…" I canted to their nodding heads.
If there was anything any of us could do.
0430 a text message – a dentist's appointment,
would I take his brother?
Little boys get slowly picked apart,
But the world rolls on.
Pathetically grateful for my
Something I Can Do,
I'm waiting while he gets scaled and polished
When my phone rings.
Tears. Gasping instructions.
"When you're done, get here now.
He's not going to make it.
Don't tell his brother."
I don't tell his brother.
Instead I package him into the car
And force my cheeks to beam at his new braces;
"Pink…for Caden."
I can't help but reach to my sternum.
Where a tiny pink dinosaur hangs, talismanic,
On a chain.
He plays video games in the front seat,
While I don't tell him
We talk about shopping,
Lunch somewhere.
And maybe a new game, maybe,
If we've the money.
Aching to protect him from what I know is coming.
Longing to drive and keep driving,
To pass the exit to the hospital,
And deliver us from evil.
Cheering him on as he devastates digital worlds,
His gaudy death toll running to billions.
I cower behind his fun,
Rehearse in my head what I'll say.
Hacking lies from my lines,
To say just enough.
But not quite enough.
"We're going to stop at the hospital first…"
I don't explain what comes second,
I don't explain that I've betrayed him,
And tricked him into coming to watch
His baby brother die.
Side by side, through the bustling corridors.
I make an excuse to catch his shoulder,
Pull him tight to my hip.
("Let the lady pass, buddo.")
Then keep him there.
In the cafe, "our" tables are thick with hunched shoulders,
And heads and faces raise to our entrance.
He skips, delighted, into arms of loved cousins,
And I grab a friend's mother, needing my own.
My face in her hair, I hiss my rage and grief,
Crying myself a liar and a Judas,
Until his face, still cheerfully deceived,
Tugs at my sleeve for hot chocolate.
Someone takes him upstairs,
I find a pastor because, My God,
I've learned this month gone by.
That wisdom and preaching may be bedfellows,
But you don't need religion to take advice.
We'll all have the chance to say goodbye,
They promise.
Everyone who wants to see him,
Should see him.
And then the tubes and lines,
And drugs that pump his heart,
And flex his lungs,
Will be pulled back, slithering from him
To the floor, like streams of mercury.
Letting him be; no more dressings,
No more suctioning his mouth and nose,
Which, comatose, he still grimaced at,
As though the nurses had spat on a hanky
And wiped his face in front of his friends.
In one corridor his aunt passes me,
Walking too fast,
Eyes down.
I lay a hand on her arm.
And she trips into my chest,
Hanging in my arms.
Gasping and sobbing.
I tarry in the cafe downstairs,
Far longer than I should.
Frightened of upstairs,
Nervous of intruding.
What's the etiquette for kissing
Your friend's kid goodbye for the last time?
Friends first? At the head of the queue?
Or last? Surely not, family last, I'd think.
In the end I'm led upstairs by friends,
But stop in the corridor,
Glimpsing through the glass and wire
Of a hospital door,
His mother, holding his brother.
I hide.
Gun shy of her grief,
I despair to find that
Six years on the road has done nothing
To prepare me for this proximity to pain.
Another stranger wraps his arms about me,
"Take a deep breath, big man."
An uncle finds us, little knot of friends.
"The doctor says if you're coming in,
You should come in, like….
You should do it now, if you're going to."
Into his room.
His room with sinks outside,
In which I've scrubbed my hands countless times.
Where the first time I saw him,
His Dad stood with me,
And teased me about pink plastic aprons.
Where each time I've visited,
I've waited just outside,
With a toy dinosaur.
Or a song.
Hauling in ephemera,
To represent love and hope.
This time we don't wash our hands.
There's no point.
In his bed he's tiny,
Not simply dwarfed by machines
And a hospital bed, but
Two legs and an arm smaller.
From the doorway
I can't smother instincts,
And I see that this is no time
For long goodbyes.
That just as he's defied the odds
For a month, he may yet surprise us again
And decide for himself when he leaves.
A nurse is busy with him,
So I sit beside his big brother,
Who tells me he's sorry,
But he doesn't think we can go shopping this afternoon,
Like we'd planned.
I kiss the little greying face on the pillow
And excuse myself.
Falling into a sofa
With a numb thump.
A grand mother says to me.
"You've seen some terrible things, haven't you?"
I nod at my shoes.
"It's different when you love them, isn't it?"
Walking down Byres Road,
The smallest of the boys
On my shoulders while back at the hospital,
It's happening.
I took him from a teenage cousin,
Appalled to notice that we, as a building of adults,
Had left the baby with a girl barely out of school herself,
Whose red rimmed eyes showed she needed a break.
Two little trainers drum gently on my chest
As we stroll.
He leans over to my eyeline.
"Did you know…?"
"Yes pal?"
"Did you know that Caden is going to heaven for ever and ever
And never coming back?"
"Yes, darlin', I know."
"It's sad. Look, there's a digger…can we buy some sweets?"
Standing in a car park in drizzling rain, my shoes muddied up the side from walking straight to my car.
Phone at my ear, ranting at a friend with the distance I wish I had.
Shouting and swearing and demanding answers from a God I don't believe in.
We all retreat,
Giving the five-now-four of them
Some space to go home.
For some of them the first time home,
In a month.
Within the hour there's a message.
"We don't do alone well, please come."
And we reconvene,
With drink and ministers,
And pots of soup,
And Chinese take out.
And as a group, we slide them, the four of them, back into their lives.
For what comes next.

Intel Releases New 50-Watt Quad-Core Xeons
"Intel has released their newest line of Xeons. Now in the 50-Watt helping for ultra efficient processing power, and minimal energy consumption. Read inside for more details."
Published: 12th March 2007 | Source: TechDaily |12/03/07
Author: MikeEnIke
Source: TechDaily
In the attempt to minimize power usage by servers, Intel has release a new sampling of their Xeon server processors to help ease the pain of the the next electric bill of the company, which everyone knows is caused by the server room. This low wattage processor is a step in the right direction, against the need for crazy power supplies to support those 12 hard drives and 2 processors. The old Xeon Quad-Core offerings used 120 watts to power them. That's more than a 50% efficiency increase!
These Xeons, the Intel L5320 and L5310, are clocked at 1.86Ghz and 1.60Ghz. Although light on power, these babies are in no way light on performance. Like previous models, there is a total of 8MB (2x4MB) L2 cache on the core, with 4MB L2 cache per pair of cores. The prices are $519 for the L5320 and $455 for the L5310 to the suppliers.
Feel free to comment on the forums.

Nice job there mate. The caps look extremely close to the epoxy - must have been a few sweaty brow moments there ;)
It was a matter of controlled breathing and slight steady pressure and praying I was not pushing to hard.
Did you see a resulting temperature decrease?
Oh, and forgot to mention the HOW in detail.
in the pic below, you can see just how far the blade needs to go to pop the seal, and you can measure it by the hole in the ceter of the blade, if the bottom of the hole is just below the edge of the chip DON"T GO ANY FURTHER! cause the capacitors are RIGHT THERE.
AS for testing I have not had time or the opportunity to work on my PC/Loop all this week.

But this star defensive back and fourth-year history major actually started out playing baseball. "I always wanted to play football as a kid, but my parents didn't want me to play […] they were scared of the violent nature of the game," he says. Ever since Morris made the transition to football, he's had the swagger, the confidence, the body, and the talent to be a hot jock and to pursue his dream of playing in the CFL"

Barclays lawyers say the British bank shouldn't have to pay former Lehman Brothers Holdings employees hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses and is again asking a judge to dismiss Lehman's lawsuit seeking that money.
In a Friday filing with U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, Barclays said it already paid $2 billion to Lehman employees transferring to Barclays as part of its September 2008 purchase of Lehman's U.S. brokerage.
By Joseph Checkler
A judge on Thursday approved a settlement that calls for J.P. Morgan Chase to pay $861 million in cash and securities to customers of the defunct broker-deal business of Lehman Brothers Holdings.
The settlement is the largest to date reached by the trustee winding down's Lehman's former U.S. brokerage business.
"I'm satisfied that this is indeed an excellent result," Judge James Peck of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan said. [MORE]

The Philadelphia 76ers may have been bounced out of the NBA playoffs early. But one of the basketball team's former owners, Pat Croce, lasted long enough to win big money ruling from the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
UBS Financial Services must pay damages to Croce for a $2 million personal investment he made in a note from now-bankrupt Lehman, a securities-arbitration panel has ruled.
Our Deal Journal colleagues today brought you the yarn of the latest fallout from the collapse of Lehman Brothers: a shudder through the shaky municipal-bond market.
In late April, the shell of Lehman quietly filed a notice with the bankruptcy court that it planned to start selling off credit-default swaps on about $8 billion in municipal bond debt.
The swaps essentially are insurance against defaults in municipal bonds, which states and local governments issue to finance projects such as highways, stadiums and schools.
(Click HERE and HERE to read the Lehman court filings that helped spark the muni market head scratching.)

Lehman Brothers is accusing Goldman Sachs of intentionally delaying turning over emails in a bankruptcy probe of whether a secret Wall Street campaign helped short sellers profit at Lehman's expense from the investment bank's implosion.
In a Tuesday filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, Lehman said that despite agreeing last month to search for certain terms in emails from 37 proprietary trading-desk custodians, Goldman has only searched 11 custodians' messages.
"Goldman Sachs is moving at a glacial pace in an effort to run out the statute of limitations without producing the requested documents," Lehman said in its filing. Lehman is asking Judge James Peck to force Goldman to search the other 26 custodians' inboxes within two weeks….
Citigroup argued in court that it is entitled to keep $1 billion deposit it received from the collapsed investment bank Lehman Brothers.
In a court proceeding filed in a New York bankruptcy court, Citigroup said it is entitled to the money because the morning Lehman collapsed into bankruptcy protection in September 2008, the failed investment bank "urgently requested" Citigroup keep settling foreign exchange trades to "avoid catastrophic losses" to Lehman and its customers….
By Eric Morath of Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review
The attorneys, advisers and bankers dismantling Lehman Brothers Holdings added to their record bill last month, charging the investment bank's estate $26.1 million, bringing the case's total cost to $1.22 billion.
In papers filed Monday with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, Lehman detailed payments made in April to the 44 firms working the case. Those bills include only the professionals working on behalf of the court, Lehman and its unsecured creditors committee, whose bills are paid from Lehman's funds.
Other creditors, including two groups seeking to offer rival liquidation plans for the bank, pay their own legal bills….
More than two years after Lehman Brothers filed the biggest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Oaktree Capital Management and other Lehman debt holders are roiling the defunct Wall Street firm all over again.
The group of more than a dozen investors who hold debt in Lehman's so-called operating subsidiaries today lobbed a proposal that would pay some creditors up to 60.4 cents for each dollar of their claims, while offering senior Lehman bondholders a 16% recovery, reported Deal Journal colleague Eric Morath.

Oh, Wall Street. Will you ever learn?
Embarrassing emails have been the fuel of the post-financial crisis fury. Goldman exec Thomas Montag described one of the bank's mortgage transactions as "one S—- deal," an indiscretion that raised questions about Goldman working against its own clients.
(Perhaps missing the point, Goldman since has implemented a ban on profanity in company emails.) But you can't stamp out indiscretion.
And now we have the "goat poo" email.
Ernst & Young had been mum about the lawsuit charging the firm with helping Lehman Brothers mask its true financial condition. But now the accountants are striking back.
"We intend to vigorously defend against the civil claims alleged by the New York Attorney General," Ernst & Young said in a news release. The firm, the longtime Lehman accountant, said the "Lehman's bankruptcy was not caused by any accounting issues."
Ernst & Young also takes issue with the New York attorney general using the Martin Act — a broad state business law used by Andrew Cuomo and his predecessor as attorney general, Eliot Spitzer– to bring charges against an accounting firm.
Here is the full Ernst & Young response to the lawsuit:

While it's not the single-player content so many of us are dying for, the second batch of Tomb Raider DLC has arrived today (surprise!). Shipwrecked brings with it two new multiplayer levels which give gamers even more opportunity to explore the island of Yamatai.
Firstly, we have Lost Fleet, which pits the Survivors and the Scavengers in the middle of a massive, beached ship - filled with twists, turns and traps, this is an impressive new battleground.
We return to the top of the mountains in Himiko's Cradle, a sacred Scavenger area. Beware: Danger lurks at every corner - this could be your final resting place.
While Shipwrecked has arrived for Tomb Raider on Steam and Xbox 360 today, you'll still have to wait until tomorrow to get it on PS3.
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

Left v right and right v wrong: part IV
Further to my previous posts about why left-wing people tend to support fiscal stimulus and right-wingers to support budget-balancing, Paul Krugman (pictured) has devoted his column in the New York Times to the subject. Here's the important part:
Real-world events — stagnation in Ireland, the original poster child* for austerity, falling interest rates in the United States, which was supposed to be facing an imminent fiscal crisis — quickly made nonsense of austerian predictions.
Yet austerity maintained and even strengthened its grip on elite opinion. Why?
Part of the answer surely lies in the widespread desire to see economics as a morality play, to make it a tale of excess and its consequences. We lived beyond our means, the story goes, and now we're paying the inevitable price. Economists can explain ad nauseam that this is wrong, that the reason we have mass unemployment isn't that we spent too much in the past but that we're spending too little now, and that this problem can and should be solved. No matter; many people have a visceral sense that we sinned and must seek redemption through suffering — and neither economic argument nor the observation that the people now suffering aren't at all the same people who sinned during the bubble years makes much of a dent.
There is something in that, as Martin Hutchison explained in his response to my original post. Krugman then goes on to make a tub-thumping but self-undermining argument about class, suggesting that the rich believe in austerity because they think it is in their interest, even though it isn't. But I'm just as sceptical about the idea of false consciousness when applied to the rich as I am when it is applied to the workers.

Is SNL headed towards disaster this season?
It seems that every season is the "Saturday Night Live isn't what it used to be" (aka "Saturday Night Live sucks!") season, but it always survives. And some years, like last season when they had the election to riff on and appearances by Tina Palin and lots of buzz in the news, they thrive. But The Washington Post's Tom Shales visited with executive producer Lorne Michaels and finds that Michaels is worried about the upcoming season.
Not only is there no election this season, there is also the recent news that two cast members (Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson) have been replaced.
OK, as Michaels says, they haven't been replaced by Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad), it's that those two were hired and Watkins and Wislon left "concurrently." But I don't see why the show has to be bad. I mean, doesn't it all come down to the writing? If the writing is good, there's no reason why they have to worry about it not being an election year or any similar problems. There's plenty of news and pop culture to riff on.
In related news, Salon wonders if SNL has a "lady quota."

The city is poised to spend $10 million to restore the Milne Boys Home, but there's no word yet on how it will be used once the repairs are made.
It's been close to three decades since the home has had any residents. The campus was used as a meeting space for community groups until Hurricane Katrina.
The Franklin Avenue campus was built in 1932 after it merged with the Municipal Boys Home, formerly called the Waifs' Home for Colored Boys. Work planned on the property includes interior demolition and the securing of two cottages and the administration building.

Educational Benefits of Online High School Courses for Teens
Arguably, the most crucial time during the education of teenagers, is high school. Without a doubt, parents as well as teachers want to ensure that these young minds and leaders of tomorrow get the best education. Online high school courses for teens is one of the greatest and most excellent way for a student to acquire the knowledge and the education that they need. Convenience is the one thing that many people, both young and old know that online learning can provide a student with. However, online courses provide much more than convenience for the teachers and the teens.
Better learning pace
Truth be told, traditional schools provide an uneven learning and advancement curve. The school curriculum in the traditional school has each and every student taking a course for about 4-6 months. It disregards the different abilities for students to grasp information- there are those who soak in a lot of information in little time and those who take some time before they understand a concept. The fast ones may need less time while the latter will obviously require more time on the course. Online courses take this into consideration and allows the teens to study at their own pace without having a predetermined time frame.
Better learning environment at Northgate Academy
In as much as traditional schools are good, they provide the students with lots of distractions that can bar efficient learning. Online high school courses ensure that the student is focused and devoted 100% of the time to the material they are learning. At their own time, they will still be able to bond and socialize like other kids their age.
Better opportunities
For traditional schools, funds are a major concern. And in the recent past, many schools have been getting little funding and have therefore resulted in cutting down on their enriching programs and hiring teachers who are cheap and who are not best suited for the job. Online high school courses however provide students from all walks of life with education that makes a difference and provide them with qualified teachers who will provide individual attention to each of the students – this is more than what you would expect in traditional schools.

10 Fun Thanksgiving Crafts
It's not just the outside world that goes through a transition during autumn—your decor can, too! Armed with fall produce, fallen leaves and a few crafty finds, you can easily transform your space into a harvest-inspired haven. Just look to one of the following do-it-yourself centerpiece ideas from lifestyle bloggers. Affordable and cheery, any of these projects will add just the right amount of warmth to your seasonal spread.
Inspired by outdoor luminaries, these little bags are safe for the table and fun to make. These crafts are also charming when grouped in an entryway.
• Small brown paper bags ($1.97 for 100; Target.com)
• Scissors
• Decorative border punch ($10.99; JoAnn.com)
• Cardboard scrap
• Painter's tape
• Nail
• Flameless votives ($14.99 for pack of 12; Michaels.com)
• Clear plastic or glass drinking cups
• Wooden cutting board or tray (optional)
1. Trim the top of each bag with scissors to a different height to create some variation in the grouping. Use the punch to create a scalloped detail along the top edge of each bag.
2. Cut the piece of cardboard slightly smaller than the front of one of the bags. With the bag still folded, slide the cardboard inside. Print out one of the leaf templates and position it on the bag, using painter's tape to lightly secure them together. Use the nail to poke holes through the template and the bag, allowing the cardboard to block the nail from going through the other side. Carefully peel off the tape and remove the template.
3. Repeat Step 2 with a different template (use all three leaf patterns to vary the bags). Stand the bags up and unfold them.
4. Fill 3 cups with switched-on votives. Place a cup inside each bag to create a glow.
5. Cluster bags on a cutting board or tray for added impact, if desired.

Attendance:Class attendance is required, and verifiable excuse must be presented for all absences immediately upon your return to class. You are allowed 3 absences without penalty. Your final grade will drop 10 points for each unexcused absence thereafter. Do not schedule non-emergency appointments with your doctor during class hours. Unless you have sought prior permission from me, you may not leave the class until I dismiss everyone at the end of my lecture/ announcements. If you leave class for an unplanned emergency, you have to contact me before the start of the next class, else you may will be marked as absent for the day you left class. Class attendance takes precedence over your volunteer or work projects, so do not schedule interviews or other activities during your class time. It is your responsibility to find out what material you missed if you are absent. You are responsible for making up all assignments. You must have an excused absence to make up any missed work or assignments. You are allowed three tardies. Every unexcused tardy thereafter will be counted as an absence.

Late Policy: Late Work will not be accepted unless you provide a documented excuse. All assignments are due by the end of the class hour. All assignments turned in within 24 hours after the due date receive a maximum of 50% of the score that normally would have been received.

Documentation includes university excuses, letters from physicians, jury summons, military duty, or death of an immediate family member. Students with excused absences have one week after the excused absence to submit excuses and make-up work. Remember that you cannot make-up assignments more than two weeks late. If you miss the two-week deadline, your privilege to make up the exercise with an official excuse will be forfeited.
Incomplete work policy: An incomplete grade will be given only when the student has made sufficient progress in meeting the minimum requirements of the course for the grade of C or better. A contract specifying the kinds and nature of the work to be completed with due dates will be signed by student and the instructor before an incomplete grade will be given.
Gradebook: Grades in the online gradebook are considered final one week after they are first posted on the class Web site. You have to check your gradebook after every exercise, quiz, assignment, exam, presentation, and project that is graded. Any discrepancies in the gradebook must be promptly reported to your instructor with supporting evidence within one week or you will forfeit your privilege to challenge the gradebook. (It is a good idea to check the gradebook regularly to make sure there are no errors needing attention.)
Inclement Weather and Emergency Situations: Both faculty and students are responsible for meeting all assigned classes. In the event of inclement weather, faculty and students will be expected to attend classes as usual as long as they may do so without risking peril to themselves or to others. During periods of inclement weather, faculty and students will not be penalized for absences dictated by perilous conditions. In severe cases of inclement weather or other emergency conditions, the Office of the Provost will announce cancellation of classes through the local and regional media as well as through the university's web site.

Troy University supports Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which insure that postsecondary students with disabilities have equal access to all academic programs, physical access to all buildings, facilities and events, and are not discriminated against on the basis of disability. Eligible students, with appropriate documentation, will be provided equal opportunity to demonstrate their academic skills and potential through the provision of academic adaptations and reasonable accommodations.

Go back in time for things to do in London
Published: Thursday 5th of August 2010
Travellers planning their trips to London attractions can enjoy an insightful trip at Hampton Court Palace this year.
In an attempt to give visitors as close a feel to life in the reign of Henry VII, the historians have re-created a wine fountain in the magnificent Base Court.
The impressive Tudor structure is based on the Field of the Cloth of Gold painting and is inspired by the art decor of the surrounding palace.
It stands tall at four metres high and has been built with gold leaf, bronze, lead and timber. It is decorated with the heads of 40 gilded lions and eight brass taps fashioned in the form of those common during the Tudor era.
Also, gracing the fountain in gilded lettering is the inscription - "faicte bonne chere quy vouldra" or "let he who wyshes make good cheere".
The plans of the project were launched when the remains of a conduit or fountain were discovered during an archaeological dig in 2008.
Those interested in learning more about the British royal family can also visit the Royal Mews or The Queen's Year exhibition at the Buckingham Palace.
Discover more for less with a London sightseeing pass.
