This presentation was very well done with great graphics and an easy flow which will engage students. The review redirect for missed answers is a good reinforcement of concepts. The graphics were especially effective in providing a visual of the definitions and well thought out. For example, the community slides show affection among different species reinforcing the definition for visual leaners. The audience was clearly targeted with content that matched the intent of the tutorial. My sixth grade son completed the activity and he liked the blend of zoology and ecology and special effects.Technical Remarks:The last slide when clicked goes back to the beginning of the quiz. I wonder if adding a badge or reward slide to end might help signal the end of the activity.

This was a great quiz about ecosystems. The pictures were phenomenal and they made the show a joy to watch. Each question provided immediate feedback, so students would know whether or not they had understood the information presented. Students who are not strong readers may need additional guidance from the teacher. Another option may be to embed additional resources such as audio files or videos from YouTube or TeacherTube.Technical Remarks:When I clicked after finishing the quiz, I was popped back to a slide as though I had incorrectly answered a question. At first I thought the show continued, but then I realized I was somewhere in the middle. Perhaps it was a glitch with my computer?

I thought this was a great quiz! (I could be biased because I'm a science teacher!) It was very interactive, and could be used in a group setting or individually to review and/or vocab terms. It could also be posted on a website for students to access when they're not in school. You might be able to add some little videos into the presentation if they got a term wrong to help clarify, or maybe add a voiceover to read the different definitions for students whose reading skills aren't as strong or who are auditory learners. I definitely thought it did a great job with including UDL because it showed how new information could be presented to students, how students could interact with the information, and could hopefully motivate students to learn more about the different habitats and ecosystems around them.Technical Remarks:During the presentation, I had a few problems with the slides advancing too quickly and jumping around, but that could be a problem with Keynote, which was the application where I opened it.

MR: If all we have to do is see things differently, be born-again, why is the world still such a mess?
RT: On the surface of it, at the level of power, at the level of dominating governance everywhere, you have people wasting money, wasting life, wasting the planet. I mean it's just incredible. And the people are ready to march by the tens of millions, because they don't believe in this anymore.
MR: And so, what good is being born-again, as an individual or a society?
RT: You mean, why isn't it that we feel like we're all in the jewel Zen center forever? And why are we struggling around here, having these asinine wars? Forty years I've been doing Buddhism. I've seen and I feel the consciousness of people being so much elevated compared to where it was forty years ago in the fifties, when I was a teenager. When you see a movie of people in the fifties, they look like wind-up toys, they look like completely unconscious humans. They're marching around, attending parades. People now are all battered and difficult and there's weird things, and people are horrifyingly aware of everything in a funny way.
Don't misunderstand my Inner Revolution thesis. My thesis is that there has been a Buddhist revolution going on for thousands of years. It's like a revolution in consciousness, and it has had a drastic impact on society. And my thesis is that it is getting riper and riper, to where it's going to have to unify the whole thing: the way the mind of the people is going in one direction, and domination is going in the other has to end because domination is so self-destructive now. You know in Hitler's time or Genghis Khan's time you could seem to win a war, you could bomb a lot of people and kill all the people and seemingly come out and hang the enemy generals and you could seem to win. But not since the fifties and not really since 1945, since the nuclear weapons, and then the proliferation of them and then the germ warfare. No one can win now. It's ridiculous.
MR: What would it mean to win a war?
RT: Jesus and Buddha have always been against war. But from the point of view of the warriors, the key point about war is not just bombing some people or obliterating their country; war is using force to make a political point so the people you're fighting with will do your will—that is to say, they will work for you: you will dominate them. It is not a matter of killing. You may have to kill some, but then you dominate them and they do what you want. But that was the era of the empires, the Mongol empire, the empires that we've had for several thousand years. Nobody's got any empires, now. Even the Russians let go of it.

Golf Holiday Insurance
As any golfer will testify, golfing equipment does not come cheap, and for those heading off on a golfing holiday, the last thing they will want is to lose their clubs.
If you're planning on teeing off in the States, or putting in Spain, you may want to consider a specialist golf travel insurance policy.
Golf insurance is different from standard travel insurance as it is tailored specifically to your needs as a golfer, and comes with a range of additional extras that are essential when going on a golf holiday.
This cover can give you peace of mind - and help you play as much golf as you like during your break abroad.
What does golf travel insurance cover?
Typically, golf insurance provides cover for loss, theft or damage to your golf equipment, including golf clubs, while you are away. It also covers non-refundable green fees which you have already paid for - or are contracted to pay for - and can't get back if you need to cancel your trip. A golf insurance policy may also include cover for golf equipment hire.
Some policies include financial failure protection as standard; this will protect you in the event of an "end supplier" such as a travel company, hotel or scheduled airline going into administration.
Some also include business insurance as standard. Other policy features to look out for are personal effects, personal money, missed departure, and hospital benefit.
Are injuries covered by my travel insurance?
As golf is classed as a "low risk" sport by insurers, any injuries sustained while playing are likely to be covered by a standard travel insurance policy. Generally speaking, insurers consider it a "Grade 1" sport of little risk, but you do need to check this with your provider.
Equally, if you injure someone else while playing golf overseas, you are unlikely to be covered - unless it states on your certificate that your policy includes additional cover while playing the sport.
Policies are likely to offer £1,000-£1,500 covering accidental loss, theft or damage to golf equipment, and some policies include £500 cover within this for individual club replacement if one of your clubs has been damaged or goes missing.
Between £150 and £300 of golf equipment hire is usually offered if your kit is lost, stolen or damaged and you need to hire replacement clubs while you're away.
Policies also usually cover non-refundable green fees up to £300 due to accident, sickness or adverse weather.
Other benefits include up to £10,000,000 of medical expenses as well as emergency medical assistance 24 hours a day, all-year round.
Shop around
As there are many different options when it comes to golf travel insurance, with policies offering varying levels of cover, it is important to shop around and compare policies to find the right level of cover at the right price. Remember, the cheapest policy is not always the best policy for your needs, be careful when applying.

Re: Was Roddenberry a Terrible Writer?
So if Meyer had never done Trek, he'd still be famous for his Holmes work, Time After Time, and The Day After if nothing else, and he'd still be the recipient of multiple Emmy nominations and an Oscar nomination. Indeed, "outside of Trekdom," I'm sure he's already more famous for those thing than he is for TWOK and TUC. Trek is a pretty minor part of his career, all told.

Re: Was Roddenberry a Terrible Writer?
If you're gonna jump his shit, do it for that sellout job he did rewriting the end of FATAL ATTRACTION.
I don't think QUESTOR really represents GR consistently. I think most of the good stuff is Coon; I'd bet anything that John Vernon's character says is pretty much all Coon.
Richard Colla gave an interview discussing QUESTOR and Nimoy's exit. I don't think it is STARLOG, but it might be; I keep thinking it was ENTERPRISE INCIDENTS.
Now the 'seduce the rich old lady spy' bit, that's GR. In fact I remember that INSIDE STAR TREK album where he explains how he wanted to have the robot seduce Dana Wynter, but of course TPTB would not permit it.

The script for The Voyage Home was not a mash-up, but rather a result of Meyer and Bennett collaborating. There is definitely a tonal difference between the acts, but it's not like they were acting independently of one another.

Re: Was Roddenberry a Terrible Writer?
Of all those you mentioned, the only thing of any worth is Holmes book and even that is barely a blip on the radar. Cracking the NYT best sellers is a lot like landing on the Billboard Top 10: unless you get to number one or get there a more than once, everyone is going to completely forget about you within a couple of years. And all of his Holmes books (I think he wrote three?) have faded into obscurity. I wouldn't be surprised if Christopher Bennett was more widely recognized as a fiction writer than Nick Meyer, these days.
The TV films are meaningless as are the accompanying Emmys. Unless you win, no one cares. And even had he won, they're still TV movies.
Calling Time After Time a "success" is a gross over-exaggeration. It made 13M. For comparison's sake, that same year, TMP took home nearly that much in one week. Outside of science fiction circles, hardly anyone has heard of it let alone seen it. That's not to say it isn't a good film. Personally, I think it's better than Khan. But let's not make it out to be something it isn't.
On the other hand, TWOK (for better or worse) has managed to carve out its own little slice of pop culture pie. I'm sure this has more to do with the associated memes than the film itself, but it's still worthy a modest amount of recognition. Therefore, I have no doubt inquiring minds are redirected to his IMDB page via TWOK than they are Time After Time.
Furthermore, if asked at random, most people aren't going to recognize his name. Those that do (at least those who can spell it ), are most likely going to remember him as: "The guy who directed that Star Trek movie."
Even the two most successful films he's ever been involved with are hardly associated with him. His work on Prince of Egypt was dubious at best--I was never clear as to what he did, exactly. And he co-wrote (One of four, I believe.) Sommersby, which I didn't even know about until fairly recently. Everything else he's done has stayed completely beneath the beam.
50 years from now, his "legacy" (for lack of a better term) is going to be The Wrath of Khan. That was evident by 1991, which brings us back to my initial point.
If you can read this signature, you're dying.

Re: Was Roddenberry a Terrible Writer?
As for "just TV movies," I have to wonder if you're old enough to remember The Day After. That was more than just a TV movie. At the time, it was intensely controversial and provocative. For many people, it was the first time they'd been exposed to the horrific details of what a nuclear holocaust and its aftermath would be like. It was all over the news for weeks, our teachers talked to us about it in school... it was the television event of the decade, at the very least. Heck, my father didn't even want me to watch it, because he thought my 17-year-old mind would be too emotionally fragile to handle the horrors. I had to reason with him extensively to convince him to let me watch. Turns out it didn't shock me much at all because I'd already read books like Hiroshima and The Fate of the Earth and Cosmos and knew the dangers and consequences of nuclear war already. But for a lot of the nation, it was stunning and revelatory. No TV movie in history has been less "just a TV movie" than that one.
So if people remember Meyer more for TWOK today, that's only because nuclear war now seems like an obsolete issue. Also it was a harrowing and uncompromising film, not exactly something one would want to seek out for repeat viewings. But by all rights, if history remembers Meyer for any single film, it absolutely should be The Day After.

Re: Was Roddenberry a Terrible Writer?
I think THE DAY AFTER had to deal with a lot more censorship problems than just about any TV programming I can recall, and that's just based on reading the old CINEFEX article ... also I think it suffered from losing its original director, Robert Butler (TOS' THE CAGE, HILL ST BLUES pilot) when he had to bow out and work on REMINGTON STEELE.
Could also be that there were just too many good intentions, so the cast may have attracted more attention for starpower than performance (I remember being surprised and distracted by Lithgow and JoBeth Williams, with both of them very prominent from 1982 feature films, and thought the film would have worked better with less-recognizable character actors -- which is what SPECIAL BULLETIN did for the most part.)
The thing I remember most about THE DAY AFTER broadcast was that the network ran a 45min feature afterward (I think that was because they lost all their usual advertising after the bomb dropped, so they had a lot of dead time left over) with political types discussing nuclear war.
Pretty sure McNamera was there, not sure who else. But it was more upsetting than the movie for me, because its hard to compete with genuine political types when it comes to menace (that was a very frightening time -- I remember absolutely being convinced that civilization would not weather Reagan's occupancy of the big house, and in that sense was of the same mind as Meyer, that we could not possibly get out of the 20th century intact.)
Back on topic: has anybody brought up PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW as an example of GR's writing talent? Pretty sure that is his only feature credit. Also, it'd be interesting to see if his talked-up take on a sexed-up TARZAN (pre-BoDerek) ever actually got written up, or if it was just vaporware.

Re: Was Roddenberry a Terrible Writer?
I think Stephen King is a hack. I also think he's one talented SOB.
But do you think people really pay attention to the writers and directors of this things the same way they do feature films? I don't know how it was then, but from what I can remember growing up the TV listings in the newspaper always had the directors for features, but never did for any TV Movies. I guess the paper figured it a waste of valuable space because people just didn't care enough.
I haven't paid attention in years, but I'd bet it's often the same nowadays with DVR menus. People just don't care as much. This is probably because, with TV, directors are often perceived as less important than producers. And had he not been involved with one of the most successful films of the previous year, would most people even have noticed his name or would they have just glanced over it and moved on?
If you can read this signature, you're dying.

Electrical Engineering
Electrical Engineering (EE) offers a flexible program that enables students to prepare for a wide range of careers. The curriculum provides a broad exposure to fundamental areas including electronic devices and circuits, signal processing and communications, and computer hardware; students select an area of concentration and pursue advanced courses in diverse fields such as lasers and optics, solid state physics, computer design, image processing, wireless communications, and others. Certificate programs may complement the EE major; the certificates in finance, in engineering biology, in engineering physics, and in engineering and management systems are particularly popular among EE majors. Juniors take a design project course unique to Princeton, and each student completes an independent work project carried out under the supervision of a faculty researcher, usually in senior year. EE graduates are in high demand in major technology companies and in consulting firms. A significant fraction of the graduating class goes on to graduate or professional schools in engineering or related areas, medicine, law, and business.

Electrical engineering is an incredibly broad field, encompassing everything from logic design to mathematical systems theory. The main categories and sub-categories of electrical engineering research at Princeton are listed here.
Back to TopWhat can you learn from it?
Electrical engineering prepares undergrads for essentially any technical job or graduate school. The core classes include some specific coursework in circuit and system design, but much of the material is theoretical and generally applicable. Recent graduates have gone on to become consultants, programmers, or Ph.D. students (in majors ranging from computer science to evolutionary biology).
Back to Top
What is it like being an electrical engineering major?
The small size of the department (~20-25 students per year) leads to a strong sense of community among the students and between the students and professors. Everyone in the same year knows each other, and professors have come to our parties and invited us over their houses.
Electrical engineering is one of the most flexible departments, with only 6 mandatory courses (one of which is a project lab). There are no JPs (though the junior project is well-known as being challenging and time-consuming) and no required thesis. Only a single semester of independent work is required (taken junior or senior year) though the vast majority of undergrads do one or two semesters of independent work senior year.
Electrical engineering has very little to do with electricity — although some students do work on circuitry or processor design, there are many other areas to electrical engineering: lasers/optics, machine learning, control theory, quantum computing, etc. Very few of us get excited about resistors.
Back to Top
Electrical engineers tend to get high-profile summer internships at research labs (e.g. NSF "Research for Undergraduates" programs) or leading companies such as Microsoft.
Back to Top
Let's count the ways:
- Creating cheap, efficient solar cells will solve the energy crisis, stop global warming, and win the War on Terror by devaluing Middle Eastern oil.
- Designing autonomous vehicles or advanced automotive safety systems will greatly reduce car accidents, which are currently the leading cause of death for US teenagers.
- Signal analysis and antenna research will allow us to receive and understand messages from advanced alien civilizations, who will instruct us in how to create such wonders as wormhole transportation and non-melting ice cream.
Back to Top
We're one of the best-paid majors in terms of jobs after graduation. Why live in a box with a comparative literature major when you could be with an electrical engineer?
No JP or thesis = plenty of free time to bake you cookies, write you poetry, etc.
We can make you this.

How To Look Older: Hair
If you're going for a more mature look, watch as we give Amy a grown-up look with a three-part makeover. In this video, you'll see how a new hairstyle can help you look older and more sophisticated.
Step 1: Single Color
When you're trying to look older, stay away from highlights and lowlights. When your hair is a single color, you'll look more sophisticated.
Step 2: Care-free Can Read As Careless
When you're young, you can get away with a tousled, just-got-out-of-bed look. To look a little more mature, don't be afraid to choose a haircut that forces you to take the extra time to style it every day.
Step 3: Inspiration
It's time to look to more mature magazines for hair inspiration. Ponytails and braids are mostly for teens and young adults. If you want a more mature hairstyle, magazines like Allure and In Style will give you great grown up inspiration.
Step 4: Chop It Off
Long hair is a younger look. A short haircut with sharp lines separates the women from the girls.

Ectopic heartbeat
Ectopic heartbeats are small changes in an otherwise normal heartbeat that lead to extra or skipped heartbeats. They often occur without a clear cause and are most often harmless.
The two most common types of ectopic heartbeats are:
- Premature ventricular contractions (PVC)
- Premature atrial contractions (PAC)
Alternative Names
PVB (premature ventricular beat); Premature beats; PVC (premature ventricular complex/contraction); Extrasystole
Sometimes ectopic heartbeats are seen with:
- Changes in the blood, such as a low potassium level (hypokalemia)
- Decrease in blood supply to the heart
- Heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy)
Ectopic beats may be caused or made worse by smoking, alcohol use, caffeine, medications such as stimulants, and some illicit drugs.
Ectopic heartbeats are rare in children without heart disease that was present at birth (congenital). Most extra heartbeats in children are premature atrial contractions (PACs), which are almost always harmless.
In adults, ectopic heartbeats are common. They are most often due to PACs or PVCs. Their causes should be investigated, although usually no treatment is needed.
Symptoms include:
- Feeling your heart beat (palpitations)
- Feeling like your heart stopped or skipped a beat
- Feeling of occasional, forceful beats
Note: There may be no symptoms.
Exams and Tests
A physical examination may show an occasional uneven pulse. If the ectopic heartbeats do not occur very often, your doctor may not find them during a physical exam.
Blood pressure is usually normal.
The following tests may be done:
- Continuous ambulatory cardiac monitoring (Holter monitor, patient-activated recording device, or implanted loop recorder)
- Coronary angiography
- Echocardiogram
Limiting caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco may reduce the risk and frequency of ectopic heartbeats in certain people. Exercise often helps people who are inactive.
Most ectopic heartbeats do not need to be treated. The condition is only treated if your symptoms are severe or if the extra beats occur very often.
The cause of the heartbeats, if discovered, may also need to be treated.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Sometimes, ectopic heartbeats may mean you are at increased risk for other serious abnormal heart rhythms, such as ventricular tachycardia.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You keep feeling the sensation of your heart pounding or racing (palpitations)
- You have palpitations with chest pain or other symptoms
- You have this condition and your symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Leslie Scott created the game 30 years ago (the name comes from the Swahili for "to build"). Here she explains how to get the upper hand.▲ TAKE YOUR TIMEDon't rush yourself. "With Jenga, you lose it rather than win it," says Scott. Feel for easy bricks and forget those that feel stuck -- they might loosen up later as the weight distribution changes.▲ ▲ FORGET STRATEGY Concentrate on individual moves, rather than deploying a strategy. "Each brick is a slightly different size and weight, so every time you assemble a tower of bricks it's a different game."▲ ▲ ▲ AVOID GOING CO-OPERATIVEDon't get sucked into building a tall tower. "People want to get the tower as high as possible and it becomes a co-operative," Scott says. The higher it gets, the greater the likelihood it will be unstable.▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ GET DEXTEROUS"The rules say you can only use one hand at a time but that doesn't mean you can't swap hands," says Scott. "Also, you can balance the tower against your forearm, using your arm as a brace."▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ MANIPULATE THE TOWER"Even if there appears not to be a brick available, there might be," Scott says. "If there's a layer where the centre brick has been removed, pinch together the two remaining bricks, then remove the outside one."▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ THINK ABOUT PLACEMENTPlacing bricks on the top of the tower can give you the upper hand. "You can sabotage the tower by balancing it on one side," says Scott. But if your opponent succeeds, you could inherit a real wobbler. Edited by Alice Vincent Latest on wired.co.uk

Topic: Mother Died - anyone heard of this horror movie?
I was going through the January issue that I still have and on the back cover theres a promo for some Mother Died movie. the art for it brings back memories of those old slasher flicks from the 1970s and 1980s like Maniac and original Black Christmas.
Just wondering if anyone has bought the Mother Died movie if it even came out for DVD?
