BW035: Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!
this wiki
While (still) on their way to Nimbasa City, Ash and co. decide to take a break. Ash teaches Oshawott to keep its eyes open underwater so it can use Aqua Jet properly. Later, Scraggy encounters some Foongus. The Foongus use PoisonPowder and all the Pokémon except Oshawott get poisoned. The only known cure are herbs grown at the bottom of a pond and it was up to Oshawott to save the day. But what can it do against a Palpitoad and a Stunfisk?
The gang arrives at a lake. Ash remembers his battle with Trip - Oshawott needs to open his eyes when attacking. To do that, he's going to spend his day with him. While Iris runs with other Pokémon, Ash and Oshawott take their breath and dive. Ash sees that Oshawott does not see while underwater, so they dive again, this time forcing Oshawott's eyes to open.
Iris is still training with the Pokémon, while Ash's Scraggy searches. He finds a bunch of Foongus. Scraggy attacks, but the Foongus evade and use PoisonPowder, poisoning Scraggy and other Pokémon. Cilan and Ash arrive, seeing how the foongus poisoned everyone. Iris finds out that some herbs are required to produce antidote to cure them. Cilan detects that some herbs are nearby, on the bottom of the lake, so Cilan, Ash and Oshawott go to find them.
Ash and Oshawott dive in, but a bunch of Tympole arrive and attack them. Oshawott does not open its eyes, so Ash attempts to presuade him. When the Tympoles make their final attack, Oshawott opens his eyes, destroyes the attack with his Scalchop. The Tympoles run away. As Oshawott and Ash go to the surface, they are attacked by a Stunfisk. They warn Cilan of the Stunfisk, so Cilan uses his fishing stick and catches the Stunfisk, waving it in the air.
Ash and Oshawott go to get the herbs, and while they get the herbs and got out, a Paliptoad arrives. He attacks Oshawott, so Oshawott counterattacks with Aqua Jet. However, he misses, as his eyes aren't open. Paliptoad makes his final attack, but Oshawott opens his eyes and attacks Paliptoad, defeating it. Cilan knockes the Stunfisk down, so both trainers use their Pokeballs to catch them. They both succeed to catch them, so they hurry to Iris, who attends to the Pokémon. Iris nakes the antidote, curing the poison from the Pokémon. The episode ends with Oshawott being happy not to be afraid to use Aqua Jet.
- This is the second episode where Oshawott proves himself. The first was BW031.
- This is the second time Ash looked up Palpitoad on the Pokedex since the last episode.
- All three protagonists now have an Electric-type Pokémon Each: Ash and Pikachu, Iris and Emolga, and Cilan and Stunfisk.

- Who's That Pokémon?: Foongus (US)
- The is no Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster in this episode.

Comments On Jan 08, 2012:Iv'e got about 3k miles out of this, (which I consider good) it has good traction in the gravel, as well as the road, buit they howl on the road! Good tire, I'm going to try the Dunlop 606 next, and hope for less raod vibration.

Comments On Jan 04, 2012:I normally run D606 on the rear, but for those long easy rides travelling on more bitumen than usual, I get ~40% extra milage out of the Karoo.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 02, 2010:Installed just prior to a week long 1300 mile trip on my KTM 690 Enduro R. Probably 35% on road. They worked well for the first half of the trip, but wore quite quickly and performance suffered as the trip went on. If I was home, I would have replaced them by about 1000 miles.
My friends Dunlop D606 wore much better on the same bike with similar riding styles (though he may be more aggressive). I'll try that next.

Comments On Jul 01, 2010:A friend and I bought tires for our GS's at the same time - he picked up the Conti TKC80's and I went with the Metzeler Karoos and we thought it would be interesting to compare. The Karoo rear has a more aggressive tread than the TKC 80 with larger, nastier blocks with more space between. The tire feels a bit chunky on pavement at lower speeds but I expected it to be far worse. I really didn't mind it at all on the highway and once I got the feel of it I was blasting corners like usual. Loud though, and I don't expect a long life if it spends too much time on the highway. The tire performed amazing off road and I'd take it anywhere - but my buddy seemed to do just fine with his slightly less aggressive Conti through 500 km of sharp rocks, creeks, mud and grizzly bears. The steel belted Karoo was BRUTAL to mount compared to the TKC80 but I expect it is a bit tougher. Best Liked: ruthlessly competent off-road, handled fast corners on pavement just fine, mean & tough Least Liked: probably won't last long if lots of highway miles, hard to mount

|OPV116910: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Ofatumumab Injection for Subcutaneous Use in Subjects With Pemphigus Vulgaris
|Brief Summary
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, chronic, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder that is characterized by mucocutaneous blisters. Ofatumumab is a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb) that specifically binds to the human CD20 antigen, which is expressed only in B lymphocytes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of ofatumumab injection for subcutaneous use (ofatumumab SC) 20 milligrams (mg) administered once every 4 weeks, (with an additional 20 mg loading dose [i.e. 40 mg total] at both Week 0 and Week 4) to subjects with PV. It is anticipated that with sustained B-cell depletion in the presence of ofatumumab SC, and the resultant reduction of pathogenic anti Dsg (desmoglein) autoantibodies in PV, that clinical remission of the disease will result.

[ADOBE® TV] [tv.adobe.com] SpeedGrade has a brand new shot matching feature to help you [Colin Smith - Sr. Solutions Consultant] when you need to match 2 different shots. It's important to note that what we're not doing here is just matching black and white point and exposure. That's really easy. What we're doing is using the overall color imagery of the file or the clip that we're matching from. Way more powerful. But it's not magic. It's not going to give us dynamic range where there is no dynamic range. It's not going to make a GoPro look like an Alexa or a RED Epic, but it does give us a step up and a little bit closer and a lot easier matching between 2 shots. Let's go have a look. Here we are in SpeedGrade, and this is my timeline, this is the shot that I want to match, and on the right-hand side I need 2 playheads. The easiest way to do this is with the new Continuity Checker. When I click on this 2-Up, it gives me my second playhead. I'll move this to the point where I want to match, and it's right near this area right in here. That is the area that I want to match. You'll notice that the image on the left is going through different sun area. You've got to be realistic about this. But I want the overall lightness of that. So on the right-hand side, this button appeared when I have more than 1 playhead, Match look to master playhead. When I click on it, you can see there it is, and I'll turn that off and on. If we go and look at my Looks down here, you can see this has added a new layer called AutoColorMatch with a little eyeball and also an opacity slider. We could use this for color match, and then we could also change the overall color opacity for that match. But I'm just going to go into my Primaries and tweak this a little bit. Overall, I'm just going to grab this, Overall contrast up a little bit, bounce this up to there, and I'm going to go to my Shadows section and the Gain area and just bring this up just a little bit inside here. So if I hit the period key on my numeric keypad, that's before, that's after. Before and after. That is before the whole shot match, and that is everything I have right now. The last thing I want to do is just add a little bit of blue inside here. Something that I like to do is instead of using the wheels, I'm going to go to the sliders because what I can do at this point is I can come in here to the overall Gamma, Gain, or Offset just like the same wheels, but I'm going to unlock them and just move the blue up a little bit by itself, 0.02. Let me just show you. That is with the shot match. That's my little edit. That's the original, and that's where I am right now. So a couple of tweaks, a couple of clicks and, boom, we're a lot closer. And then we can tweak it from there. Not everyone uses SpeedGrade to create Looks. Some people use Photoshop, and I know that Lightroom is really popular with DPs. Well, I'm going to show you how we can create a Look in Lightroom and then through Photoshop export a TARGA file and then use that in the new Snapshots browser. Let's jump into Lightroom. Here is my original shot that I brought in from a frame from the movie, and here is the blown-out look. I really wanted to create something different here just to show you shot matching. This is a still image, or remember this could be a movie that I pulled from a still image inside Lightroom, and I need to export this out and get this out as a TARGA. We can't make a TARGA out of Lightroom, so a quick trip to Photoshop can convert a PSD or a TIF into a TARGA file. We're going to use those over on the right-hand side inside here with our Snapshots. You can load them into a folder, you can access that folder over here, you can have as many folders in Snapshots as you want. I'm going to turn off my 2-Up display at this point, reset my primary, and just delete that color match and get me to this point. Now when I click on this Lightroom Look that I sent out, this is just a still image. There's the clip, and I'm going to use the Shot Match feature. Bang! There is before and there is after. Pretty cool technique. We don't even have to stay within the same scene. You can use anything for color matching. One other one I want to go back to here, which is in this area right around here. Here we can see our outdoor shot. I'm going to get rid of my Snapshot view in here and go back to 2-Up. This is a perfect example of 2 scenes that are really close, obviously shot with the same camera, same day, but the one on the right is still just a little bit warm, and I like the stark kind of look on the left-hand side. We'll hit the color match on this. Bang, boom! Look at that. That looks fantastic--a perfect example of where this shot matching really is going to rock and roll. Let me close this timeline up, and I'm just going to jump into my Media right now and open up a different timeline because with this particular one I want to show not just the 2-Up inside here; I'm going to show you 3-Up, which really does help with continuity. Here we've got our 2-Up shot. I'm going to match this previous shot of him walking through the streets, so I'll color match that. Obviously we've got a little bit too much saturation in here, so I'm just going to pull the saturation down inside there. There's our before, there's our after. And if we add the 3-Up, this is also a great way to check how this scene works with a clip before it or a clip after it. So there you go. The new Shot Matcher combined with the Continuity Checker inside SpeedGrade is really going to speed up your productivity. When you need to match 2 shots or even get creative with a snapshot, now you know what to do. [Adobe]

NASHEVILLE, NC (AP) - Police in Nashville say it appears that a man killed his son, set fire to their home and then killed himself.
Police Chief Tom Bashore said the fire Monday afternoon appears to have been the result of the murder-suicide.
Fifty-three-year-old Joseph Christopher Williams was taken to Nash General Hospital where he died.
His 10-year-old son, Bobby, was taken to the same hospital and was transferred to the Jaycees Burn Clinic at University of North Carolina Hospitals-Chapel Hill where he died.

Only one team can win the championship each year. It's preposterous to expect Ainge to be able to build a championship contender every season. I trust that he surveyed the trade landscape and decided that he couldn't get enough for Garnett, Pierce, and Rondo to merit moving them at this time. That doesn't mean he won't revisit trading them in the off-season. I'm confident he'll always do his best to improve the team. As fans, we need to be more patient, more realistic, and more understanding of the realities of managing a team.
We're not the other GMs on the phone with Ainge. We don't know whether Jordan and Bledsoe for Garnett was a real possibility, whether Garnett vetoed the move, or whether the Clippers insisted on some other inclusion. Often times it's the trades we don't initially hear about that actually come the closest to happening (think Ray Allen and the Grizzlies last year, or recent revelations about Kobe Bryant almost being dealt to the Pistons back in 2007). Most rumors are just idle speculations on the part of reporters looking for something to write about in their articles and discuss on their radio shows.
The Celtics have been one of the better teams under Ainge's tenure: a championship, two trips to the NBA Finals, and an Eastern Conference Finals appearance. If not for inopportune injuries to Kevin Garnett in 2009, Kendrick Perkins in 2010, and Jeff Green and Avery Bradley in 2012, the Celtics would be looking at three NBA championships in the last 5 years instead of just one. Bad luck, not inept management, held back this group. We should be more appreciative for what Ainge has done, especially after all those miserable post-Bird years.
As bleak as it may look right now for the Celtics' title chances this year, I still hold out a modicum of hope. I think there's a very slight chance they could pull off some upsets. Jeff Green is developing into a legitimate star. Garnett and Pierce both turn their games up a couple notches in the playoffs. Jason Terry is battle-tested. Avery Bradley looks healthy and remains every bit the defensive pest pre-injury. Jordan Crawford might be the scorer off the bench this team sorely needed. Within the next couple weeks we might see a few decent centers bought out of their contracts (Chris Kaman? Jermaine O'Neal? Reggie Evans?)
Let's just root for our team and enjoy the ride instead of complaining like entitled Yankees aficionados. Celtics and Lakers fans deserve to complain the least. It could be much worse.

Western Canadian mid-summer taiga landscape. @ C.Michael Hogan
Taiga is a high latitude northern hemisphere biome with the overarching ecological feature of conifer forest. Floristically the taiga can be viewed as some of the most northern elements of the Circumboreal Province. Temperature regimes within some of the taiga are among the lowest on Earth, since there is a continental aspect to the interior portions of the taiga, making it colder than many locations in the polar desert to the north. Compared to other biome types, taiga manifests low biodiversity.
Because Asia and North America were earlier unified via the Bering land bridge, many of the same flora and fauna species colonised both continents and are distributed throughout the taiga. Speciation occurred within the genera, permitting diversity among different world regions of the taiga.
Example taiga distribution (in yellow) for Scandinavia. WWF By area ranking, taiga ecoregions comprise a more extensive land area than any other terrestrial biome, constituting almost thirty percent of the Earth's entire forests. In Asia taiga covers a considerable portion of Russia, notably Siberia, but also northern Kazakhstan, the north part of Mongolia as well as the island of Hokkaid? within Japan. For Europe, taiga covers a band across most of Sweden, much of Finland and northern Norway. Within North America, taiga constitutes the majority of interior Canada, along with the extreme northern elements of the USA including much of Alaska. In the southern portions of North American occurrences this biome is often termed boreal forest.
Example ecoregions
The following are examples of specific taiga ecoregions:
- East Siberian taiga
- Northeast Siberian taiga
- Scandinavian and Russian taiga
- Southern Hudson Bay taiga
- Alaska Peninsula montane taiga
- Northwest Territories taiga
- Cook Inlet taiga
- Copper Plateau taiga
- Eastern Canadian Shield taiga
- Northern Canadian Shield taiga
Climatic aspects
Only the polar deserts and tundra biomes offer lower temperatures compared to taiga. Extreme minimums in the taiga are actually typically lower than those of the tundra. The Köppen climate classification system designates taiga as a region of short summers and protracted very cold winters, with high amplitude temperature swings betwixt the two extreme seasons. Relatively small portions of this biome are classified under Köppen as Cfc (milder winters), and in the extrema of the southern part of the biome there are some very small areas classified as Dwb or Dfb, (areas of longer summer and humid continental climate). Mean annual temperatures are almost always within minus five to plus five degrees Celsius, save for parts of east Siberia and interior elements of the Yukon, for which mean annual temperatures may extend as low as eleven degrees Celsius.
Discontinuous permafrost is found in areas with mean annual temperature below freezing; however, in the Dfd and Dwd Köppen climate zones continuous permafrost is typically found, limiting tree species to trees with extremely shallow root zones, such as Siberian larch. The winters, with average temperatures below freezing, last five to seven months. Temperatures vary from −54 °C to 30 °C throughout the entire annual cycle. The summers, while brief, are characteristically warm and humid. In much of the taiga, -20 °C would be a typical winter daytime temperature and 18 °C that of a typical summer day. The river valley taiga near Verkhoyansk, Russia, at 67°N, experiences the coldest winter temperatures in the northern hemisphere; however, the extreme interior continental nature of the climate yields an average thermal maximum of 22 °C in July
Taiga is exposed to low precipitation throughout the year (typically 200 to 750 millimeters (mm) annually, and up to 1000 mm), primarily as rain during the summer months, but also as fog and snow. This fog, especially predominant in low-lying areas during and after the thawing of frozen Arctic seas, means that sunlight is not abundant in the taiga even during the long summer days. Thus, since evapotranspiration is low most of the year, precipitation exceeds evaporation, and is sufficient to sustain the dense vegetation growth.
Snow may blanket the surface for as much as nine months in the northernmost extensions of the taiga ecozone In general, taiga thrives to the south of the 10 °C July contour line isotherm, but occasionally as far north as the 9 °C July isotherm. Since surface soils freeze in winter, restricting root tissue from taking up water, desiccation can be a significant issue in late winter for conifers.
The southern taiga limit is somewhat variable, depending on rainfall; taiga may be replaced by forest steppe south of the 15°C July isotherm where rainfall is very low, but more typically extends south to the 18°C July isotherm, and locally where rainfall is higher (notably in eastern Siberia and adjacent northern Manchuria) south to the 20°C July isotherm.
Geology and soils
Taiga soil is geologically young and generally lacking in nutrients. In contrast, the deep, organically enriched soil profile present in temperate deciduous forests is absent in taiga zones. The thinness of the taiga soil is attributed chiefly to the cold climate, which impedes the development of soil and the facility with which plantlife can extract soil nutrients. Fallen leaves and moss can remain on the forest floor for a long time in the cool, moist climate, which limits their organic contribution to the soil; acids from conifer needles further leach the soil, creating spodosol. Since the soil is acidic due to the fallen pine needle detritus, the forest floor flora consists chiefly of lichens and mosses. The area currently classified as taiga in Europe and North America (except Alaska) was glaciated during the Wisconsin period. As the glaciers receded they left kettle depressions in the topography that have since filled with water, creating lakes and bogs (especially muskeg soil) found throughout the taiga.
Specific soil types found in the Boreal frozen taiga soils are: Frozen taiga (taiga ferruginous), frozen bog and frozen solonetz (frozen soluds or frozen gleyey soluds). Specific soil types found in the boreal taiga and forest are: Taiga forest (podzolics), sod taiga (sod gleyey) and hydromorphic bog soils.
Tangent biomes
To the north of taiga lie tundra and polar desert ecoregions, both of which are more floristically depauperate, particularly with respect to plantlife of any significant stature. The southern elements of taiga grade to temperate mixed forest ecoregions, where edaphic conditions are favorable and mean annual temperatures are in the plus three to plus five degrees Celsius (C) mean annual temperature range.
Abiotic factors of meteorology and soils are chief drivers of the plant and animal associations of taiga. The growing season, when the vegetation in the taiga comes alive, is usually slightly longer than the climatic definition of summer as the plants of the boreal biome have a lower threshold to trigger growth. In Canada and Scandinavia, the growing season is often estimated by using the time interval of the year when the 24-hour average temperature is five degrees C or more. In Canada's taiga plains, the growing season varies from 80 to 150 days, and in the Taiga Shield, from 105 to 140 days. Locations in southwest Yukon offer 80 to 120 frost-free days.
The closed canopy boreal forest in Kenozyorsky National Park near Plesetsk, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, on average has 108 frost-free days.The longest growing season is found in the smaller areas with oceanic influences; in coastal areas of Scandinavia and Finland, the growing season of the closed boreal forest can be 145–180 days. The shortest growing season is found at the northern taiga–tundra ecotone, where the northern taiga forest no longer can grow and the tundra dominates the landscape when the growing season is down to 50 to 70 days, and the 24-hour average of the warmest month of the year usually is ten degrees C or less. High latitudes mean that the sun does not rise far above the horizon, and less sunlight impinges than further south. But the high latitude also ensures very long summer days, as the sun stays above the horizon almost twenty hours per day, with only around six hours of daylight occurring in the dark winters, depending on latitude. The areas of the taiga inside the Arctic circle have midnight sun in mid-summer and polar night in mid-winter.
In the warmer areas of taiga occurrence, there is a higher species diversity, with more warmth-loving species such as Korean pine, Jezo spruce, and Manchurian fir; this southern zone merges gradually into temperate broadleaf and mixed forests or, in Pacific coastal zones of North America and Asia, into coniferous temperate rainforests.
Trees of the taiga trees generally exhibit shallow rooting systems to take advantage of the thin soils; moreover, many tree species seasonally alter their metabolic biochemistry, making them more resistant to freezing. The narrow conical shape of northern conifers, and their downward-drooping limbs, also enhance their ability to slough-off snow. Because sunlight is restricted during most of an annual cycle, photosynthetic activity is impeded. Pine, spruce and fir do not shed leaves autumnally, and can thus engage in photosynthesis, employing old leaf tissue in late winter and spring, when light is plentiful, but temperatures are still too low for new growth to commence. The adaptation of evergreen needles limits the water lost due to transpiration and their dark green color increases their absorption of sunlight.
Periodic wildfires constitute disturbance regimes that decimate canopies (with return times ranging from decades to centuries), allowing sunlight to generate new flora propagation and growth on the forest floor. For some taxa, taiga wildfires are an essential element of the life cycle; some species such as Jack Pine exhibit cone characteristics, which only open only upon fire or heat stimulus.
Vegetative associations
Dwarfed and ice-pruned black spruce stand, Churchill, Canada. @ C.Michael Hogan There are two major varieties of taiga. The southern reach is a closed canopy forest, comprised by many closely spaced trees and mossy ground cover. In forest clearings, many species of shrubs and forbs are present. The other taiga type is the lichen woodland or sparse taiga, having trees that are spaced further apart and a lichen ground cover; the latter taiga is characteristic in the northernmost taiga, where trees are often dwarfed in growth form; moreover, ice pruned asymmetric Black Spruce (in North America) are often seen, with diminished foliage on the windward side.
In Canada, Scandinavia and Finland, the boreal forest is usually divided into three subzones: The high boreal (north boreal) or taiga zone; the middle boreal (closed forest); and the southern boreal, a closed canopy boreal forest with scattered temperate deciduous trees such as maple, elm and oak. This southern boreal forest has the longest and warmest growing season of the biome, and in some regions (including Scandinavia, Finland and western Russia) this subzone is commonly used for agriculture. The boreal forest is home to many types of berries; some are confined to the southern and middle closed boreal forest (e.g. raspberry), others grow in most areas of the taiga (such as cranberry and cloudberry), and some can grow in both the taiga and the southern arctic tundra (e.g. bilberry, lingonberry).
Relatively few species in four main genera are found in the coniferous dominant taiga: spruce, fir, and pine, and the deciduous larch. Across Scandinavia and western Russia, the Scots pine is a common component of the taiga, while taiga of far eastern Asia, including Mongolia, is dominated by larch.
Faunal associations
Polar bear migrating to Hudson Bay pack ice, Churchill, Canada. @ C.Michael Hogan
A broad gamut of fauna is found in taiga. The North American boreal forests alone exhibit over 85 mammalian species, 130 different freshwater fish taxa, and more than 32,000 species of insects. The last group occupy a vital role as prey, pollinators and decomposers. Long cold winters make taiga a difficult environment for reptiles and amphibians, who depend on ambient meteorlogical conditions to regulate body temperature. Some hibernate underground or in snow dens to survive the winter. Some megafaunal herbivores such as moose and caribou inhabit parts of the taiga. Portions of the southern closed boreal forest support other cervid species such as elk and roe deer. There is also a gamut of rodentia such as squirrel, beaver, vole, mountain hare and snowshoe hare. These mammals have adapted to deal with severe winters in their northern ranges. Some larger mammals, such as polar bear, eat fulsomely at sea in summers to increase body mass, before hibernating. Other animals have adapted layers of fat, pelage or feathers to provide heavy insulation from the cold.

Hello midge,
I find myself in the same position in that I had a line layout of a town and regional area that I wanted to use some styles available in CC3 and I had the same problem...Bought the prog (not just THIS goal in mind, but was one of the deciding factors) with some add-ons and couldn't figure out how to do just what you are trying to do.
Just now I think I might have figured it out...Under the DRAW menu there is a "Insert File". Clicking that opens a window that allows for choosing a file or browsing to find one. Go looking for the file that you want, click Open. you will get the cross hairs for you to click the top left and the next click anchors the bottom right of your image. I suggest that you set your work space to the same size as your image, or at least the same proportions...Also note that CC3 will only import certain file types so make sure that your image is in one of those formats.
That SHOULD get your image into CC3, but I haven't tried doing anything with that image yet so that is as far as I can guide you on this. Hope this helps you out some.

Women comprise, on average, 43 percent of the agricultural labour force in developing countries. If they had the same access to productive resources as men, they could increase yields on their farms by 20–30 percent. Request video
The agriculture sector is underperforming in many developing countries, in part because men and women do not have equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be productive. Across countries and contexts: women have consistently less access than men to agricultural assets, inputs and services and to rural employment opportunities. Increasing women's access to land, livestock, education, financial services, extension, technology and rural employment would boost their productivity and generate gains in agricultural output, food security, economic growth and social welfare. The gains in agricultural production alone could lift 100–150 million people out of hunger. Closing the gender gap is not only the right thing to do. It is crucial for agricultural development and food security.

Module: Advanced Topics in Remote Sensing
Data Description
Landsat Data has been prepared for each participating campus. Using the 30 yr Landsat period from 1975 to 2005, data can be used to examine changes in land cover, abundance of vegetation in the summer (peak abundance) and relate changes to climate conditions. Each Landsat scene covers an area approximately 185 km x 185 km and the data is provided in a digital format. Landsat data from 1975 to 2005 was acquired for each campus location. Data consisted of an image from 1975, and one each from 1990, 2000 and 2005. Summer images were selected to acquire data near the time of maximum vegetation cover. CAVEAT: data was not acquired on the exact same date each year due to cloud cover or other data problems however, all images were collected within the same very small time frame.
- Landsat 1975 data was acquired by the Multispectral Scanner (MSS), the Landsat imager of that period, at 80m x 80m resolution. There were only 4 spectral bands, 2 in the visible spectrum (green and red bands) and 2 in the near-infrared spectrum.
- All Landsat data after 1984 are from the Thematic Mapper (TM) instrument. It has 30m x 30m pixels and has 6 reflected solar bands, 3 in the visible spectrum and 3 in the infrared spectrum.
In addition to the satellite images, climate data for the location of each institution is provided to facilitate interpretations of land cover change over time using minimum, maximum, and mean monthly temperature and precipitation values.
- To work with local remote sensing data to detect changes in land cover over time.
- To determine relationships between productivity and drought.
- To examine relationships between topography and vegetation.
- To determine relative differences in climate between 1990 and 2005.
- To assess short-term and long-term controls on vegetation and water resources.
- To apply your knowledge of remote sensing to a different physiographic location than Maine.
- To relate changes in productivity inferred from remote sensing data to records of local climate.
- To examine the relationships between water resources, human impacts, and possible impacts from climate change
Part One
Drought Stress/Wildfire Risk
For each Landsat scene we also computed a standardized metric commonly used to assess plant drought stress – The Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR). NBR has the same structure as NDVI but uses Landsat TM Bands 4 and 5 (therefore it can't be produced by the MSS and does not exist for 1975). It is sensitive to changes in water content of the vegetation and to wildfire risk (as dry vegetation has greater fire risk). Areas that appear as white are considered to be wet. Other versions of the NBR exist in wildfire science and are often utilized immediately following wildfires to assess burn severity.

Complete the following and turn in a typed sheet with responses the three points below. No e-submissions.
- Interpret drought stress/wildfire risk for the years of 1990 and 2005. When referring to locations on the remote sensing images, please reference using the column-row coordinate system (e.g. cell B2, NOT 2B).
- How would you describe the relationship between productivity and NBR? Explain.
- How would you describe the relationship between productivity/NBR and topography? Explain. Feel free to visit GoogleEarth or GoogleMaps to familiarize yourself with the area in more detail.
- Which year (1990 or 2005) shows evidence of long-term water shortage in the greater Las Vegas area? Explain.
- Do the productivity and NBR images (for the year selected above) support your answer for #4? What factors might explain this?
- How would you characterize changes in land use/land cover in the Las Vegas metropolitan area? Explain.
Part Two
For each Landsat scene we computed a standardized metric of plant productivity commonly used in remote sensing – theNormalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). NDVI is a measure of the relative abundance of vegetation (sometimes biomass, other times closer to leaf area or canopy cover). While changes in the growth form or functional type of vegetation may not express linear changes, changes in health of a vegetation type (e.g., forest) is observed by the changes in tone between dates. The main reason NDVI is the most widely used measure of remotely sensed data is because it is very sensitive to variation in plant cover in the intermediate ranges of cover (about the density of a woodland or near canopy closure). Areas of bright red denote locations with high densities of vegetation while areas with dark blue denote locates with the least productive vegetation. See scale at right. It is also widely used because it is easy to produce:
(Landsat band 4-Landsat band 3) / (Landsat Band 4 + Landsat Band 3).
Where Band 4 is in the near-infrared spectrum and Band 3 is in the red part of the visible spectrum.
- To apply your knowledge of remote sensing to a different physiographic location than Maine.
- To relate changes in productivity inferred from remote sensing data to records of local climate.
- To examine the relationships between water resources, human impacts, and possible impacts from climate change.
Complete the following and turn in a typed sheet with responses to all questions. No e-submissions. When referring to locations on the NDVI images, please reference using the column-row coordinate system (e.g. cell B2, NOT 2B). Recall from our climate discussion earlier in the semester, this region of Texas would fall under Koeppen's Bwh climate classification (Subtropical Desert) and all that it entails regarding controls on atmospheric circulation (e.g. Sutropical High). It might be easier to write answers/ideas/notes down for each question and type them up later prior to turning in the assignment.
- Orient yourself on the NDVI images using the accompanying maps (GoogleEarth and GoogleMaps) to find common points on the landscape. Feel free to open a new browser window and visit one of the two Google sites to explore the area in a bit more detail. Does there appear to be a strong correlation between the most productive areas seen on the NDVI images and human activity? If so, explain (citing specific cells). Does there appear to be a correlation between other areas with "good" productivity and topography?
- Interpret general patterns of productivity for the years 1975, 1990, 2000, and 2005. Make qualitative estimates for the amount of productive area seen on each image (e.g. one year has more/less/same amount of productive area; it is easiest to look for blue, green, and red areas as these colors represent relatively discrete levels of productivity). You can use specific cells as reference areas, but your estimates should be for the entire NDVI image as a whole.
- Based on your qualitative estimates in #2, hypothesize about precipitation amounts (e.g. above/below trend) and temperatures (above/below trend) that support your qualitative comparisons (e.g. in 1982 I see only a small percent of productive area probably caused by low precipitation amounts and/or very warm temperatures). Make climatic hypotheses for each of the four NDVI images.
Based on your climatic hypotheses in #3, how would you describe changes in precipitation and temperature from 1975 to 2005 (referencing each year in your explanation; above/below average, greater than/less than, etc.).
Open the PPT file ElPasoTX_climate data (I will supply the password when you reach this point).
- How would you describe precipitation and temperature for the years 1975, 1990, 2000, and 2005 based on the long term trend (e.g. above/below trend)?
- Does the climate data (precipitation and temperature) support your qualitative estimates of productivity seen on the four NDVI images (e.g. the image for 1982 shows above normal productivity in response to above normal precipitation and temperature)? Explain, referencing the four years in question.
- Does maximum precipitation or temperature exert a stronger control on productivity? Explain.
- Based on your response to #1 and the level of human activity in the area, how might water resources near El Paso, TX be adversely affected by climate change in the future?
- How well does the climate data correlate to the stream discharge data for the Pecos River in Orla, TX (located about 100 miles east of El Paso, the closest USGS stream gage with a record covering the time period of interest in this lab)? Provide the rationale behind your answer, referencing physical, geographic, or human factors whenever possible. Feel free to run a correlation analysis using the data provided in the Excel spreadsheet (EP_Precip-PR_Disch). Recall from the beginning of the semester that the equation is =correl(array1,array2).

Vol State travel study opens up the world to students
Submitted on June 09, 2010 at 2:48 PM
Volunteer State Community College students are traveling the world as part of travel study programs. The countries span the globe from India to Argentina.
"I loved my study abroad learning experience and I am living proof that you can learn and enjoy at any age," said Karen Yates, who visited Segovia, Spain.
"I am in Agra, India mesmerized by the inspiring and enchanting beauty of the Taj Mahal. We arrived here early morning around 6 a.m. to be ahead of the crowd and of course the heat. Pictures cannot describe the beauty of this massive structure," said Tina Newman in a recent trip report.
"Brazil is so different from America in so many ways. And I have only been here a week! I am excited to see more and learn more about this culture that is so different from my own," said Samantha Hearn. "I already feel that being here has opened my eyes more to the world. Instead of reading about it or seeing pictures of it, I feel like I am living it."
Twenty-three Vol State students traveled to 12 different countries for travel study programs this spring and several other programs have been held this year. The international education initiative at Vol State provides scholarships for the students to help cover travel expenses. The Tennessee Consortium of International Studies (TnCIS) organizes many of the trips, providing years of experience in planning the itinerary and the course work. That expertise goes into everything from travel logistics to student safety.
TnCIS programs involve an immersion in the culture of another country and an opportunity to study at foreign site. Each program involves visiting historical and cultural sites and cities in the host country. Students from Vol State can apply for scholarship assistance through the International Education Committee. The travel study trips begin just after the completion of the spring semester each year and usually last about three weeks.
The purpose of International Education at Vol State is to engage students in thinking about the greater world and prepare them for global competition. International Education involves student and faculty travel to international locations for study. It also brings international learning events and speakers to the Vol State campus. The International Education Committee at Vol State holds seminars and guest lectures featuring distinguished faculty from colleges and universities all over the area.

Hey guys,
First post here. I'm trying to get into screen printing. Mostly for a hobby, but hopefully for some extra cash.
I'm pretty savy digitally and have gathered enough plans from this site to build an exposure unit and a printing pallate.
What i'm stuck on is creating the transparancies to burn my screens. do i just pony up the money to buy a big ass printer and some film or are there other methods?
If getting a printer is the only way are there suggestions?
Your advice is much appreciated,

Comments On Apr 01, 2014:I took these out of the package to try them on. They look nice, but the top cuff tore without even pulling on it. I'm 6'2" and 160 lbs, my legs are not that big. Rocky Mountain was great about returning and exchanging these hassle free!

Comments On Feb 24, 2014:These socks are the best socks I have had so far. They work great with me knee braces and help so much. I have tried about 5 other products to help with the comfort and rub with my Thor knee braces and these are the only ones that have worked for me. They add lots of comfort and fit great. I am a smaller guy so they fit perfect and don't slip down my leg at all. If you were bigger I wouldn't recommend them because they would be really tight, but other than that, I would definitely give them a try if you are looking to and comfort and prevent your knee braces from rubbing on your leg.

Comments On Jan 02, 2014:Just got new braces and tried these on for the second time. They did the whole "fat guy in little coat routine". Odd since I'm not fat nor do I have thunder thighs. The elastic band ripped almost completely off. After inspecting the one still intact it also has a tear in it. I assume it would have done the same thing. I'll be sending these back and buying a different brand asap.
