In the Nigerian city of Ibadan lie the head offices of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), which prides itself as one of the world's leading research partners in finding solutions to hunger, malnutrition and poverty.
The 45-year-old non-profit organisation, which is supported by several countries, says its award-winning research for development (R4D) addresses the development needs of tropical countries.
That it works with a number of partners to enhance crop quality and productivity, reduce producer and consumer risks, and generate wealth from agriculture speaks volumes about how seriously developing countries like Tanzania ought to take its research findings.
IITA boasts years of conducted research on a wide array of food crops, among them cowpeas, soybeans, bananas/plantains, yams, cassava and maize, most of which are popular in Tanzanian households.
Most recently, the organisation has released alarming findings of research conducted in four regions in Tanzania: Iringa, Kilimanjaro, Ruvuma and Tabora. It says roundabout one-fifth of the maize and cassava sold and therefore consumed in the country contains poisonous chemicals which can cause cancer or result in stunting among children – and therefore pose serious health risks.
Tanzania's own Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives ministry corroborates IITA's findings, warning that millions of people in the country are unwittingly but dangerously exposed to the poisonous chemicals owing to the contamination of the food they commonly eat.
The Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority meanwhile says the risk of contamination is especially high in rural areas, where people routinely consume cassava, maize and various other crops straight from farms or from stores lying in similarly dangerously exposed places.
For those wondering whether there is nothing the government can do to put the situation under control, a TFDA official has bad news. He says it calls for at least USD65 to test whether a single cassava or maize plant contains chemicals that likely to render food at the end of the production chain poisonous – and the agency just can't afford the screening cost!
But other sources suggest that the situation is not all that hopeless, and there are escape routes. For example, we are told that TFDA addresses the issue in question jointly with the Tanzania Bureau of Standards.
Should the collaboration really work, that is if TBS and law-enforcement agencies were sufficiently vigilant, the Tanzanian food market would witness much less contamination than we now see.
An expert from the Morogoro-based Sokoine University of Agriculture says that it is quite possible to rid rural areas of contaminated food crops, the recipe for success being practising modern farming methods.
The expert specifically advocated the use of approved fertilisers and seeds resistant to fungi associated with the spread of the poisonous chemicals as well as ensuring that the fungi do not entrench themselves in particular farms or areas.
Surely, this is not too big a problem for Tanzanians to surmount – just as no contaminated food crops and other items should be allowed to enter our country from outside.
Whatever the nature or magnitude of our development needs and challenges, heeding expert advice from the likes of IITA should see us through most of the problems our agriculture is grappling with.

Lethifolds share are similiar to dementors: they are a black cloak like creature that is repelled by the Patronus Charm. Could there be some kind of link between the two? I didn't want to put it in here because it seems like speculation, but what do you think? --kaiiiak 21:16, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Personally, I think so. They seem similar -perhaps a Dementor is a lethifold thay has consumed to many humans (hence the skeleton on a Dementor). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Snoops619 (talk • contribs).
- I think the difference is that:
- What you have mentioned about the skeleton on a dementor.
- Plus the fact that it isn't mentioned about how the atmosphere is changed when you are around a lethifold.

A dementor's kiss
A dementor's kiss is worse than death.You will stay alive,but you won't be able do anything because a dementor has eaten your soul.It is something you never want to happen to you.It is dreadful and terrible.It's worse than getting your hands cut off.If you have seen this happen,be careful because a dementor might have seen you and want to suck your soul. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs).
Does anybody know what class the Ministry of Magic gave dementors? I think it is class XXXX. - Tyminator1 (Talk) 00:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- It's never stated. The only reference to MOM classifications is in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and the Dementor isn't included. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 07:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- It seems to me that it would probably be XXXXX (Dementor's kiss=worse than death).22.214.171.124 22:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think dementors are born. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they just multiply. Gryffindor1991 04:06, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
Actually according to J.K Rowling, they breed like fungi.
If a sphinx is counted as a beast then why isn't a dementor. If it did have a class I would give it maybe XXXX or maybe even XXXXX. I may not give it 5 as there is a charm against and many others in XXXXX class don't have a charm for wizards and witches to use. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs).
- The classes are from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (real) as far as I know so...unless its classified in there we don't put up a classification here. There has be a source for it, we don't just make it up cause we feel like it. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 14:11, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

what happens to the soul
--Grindelw4ld 14:54, 3 November 2008 (UTC) When a person is subjected to the kiss, what happens to them in the afterlife? Can they 'move on' etc without a soul, or are they destroyed utterly forever? surely, if somebody's soul is gone, they shouldn't be able to go to any aferlife? i haven't been able to find any answers to this, but if anyone can, i would appreciate it if they added it to the article thanks
- It's never been stated in the books or by Rowling, so I'm afraid we don't know. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 15:05, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
We don't no for sure, but Rowling said that Voldemort wasn't able to pass into the afterlife because his sould was so damaged, so I'd imagine It would be he same if you had no soul at all. Jayce Carver Talk 15:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
What about when the Universe ends? The Dementors would be destroyed, so could the souls they have comsumed be released, allowing the person access to the afterlife? 220.127.116.11 19:47, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
Well, without a soul, you cant even access the "limbo" i guess, so basically, it just dissapears...

How would he last in a close encounter with a Dementor? Personally, I think he wouldn't have much trouble since he is just about as evil as they are, and he is devoid of feelings such as love and sadness. Still, he might feel a little on edge because he might feel the presence of his "filthy" Muggle lineage, but thats just a thought. Does anyone think that either one of them is worse than the other? Who would you rather be within 3 feet of, Voldemort, or a Dementor? --Mateo22 18:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Voldemort. Dementors give me the creeps, even if they aren't real D:
What would happen if You Know Who were given the Dementor's Kiss? 126.96.36.199 04:47, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
- The part of his soul in his body would be destroyed. Since his consciousness seems to be tied to that particular part of his soul, he most likely would have been unable to act independently. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 05:01, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think that the dark lord would be very appetizing for a dementor, considering that they're both allies in the battle of good versus evil. Remember that the dementors turned into voldemort's loyal servants after revolting in Azkaban. ~Shentino
Other ways against Dementors
There may be another way of repelling a Dementor besides the Patronus Charm, as Harry Potter disagreed with Professor Snape on the best method for confronting one when it was the subject of a report in Sixth Year.[2] This implies that there are other methods, which seems further likely given that most Dark Wizards are apparently unable (or unwilling) to produce a Patronus Charm.It'd be interesting to get know - which methods specifically (except Patronus Charm) can expel the Dementors? In the fifth book Harry tells to his uncle that "it's the only thing that has effect on them". Or give please a link/number of chapter with this report in the sixth book because I don't remember anything like this. Thanks in advance. --Microcell 15:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
I wondered if it might have something to do with occlumency. Shutting down those parts of your mind that will come to the fore in a dementor attack might do it, or might even prevent the dementor realising you're there. Also, Snape is described as a "superb" occlumens, and it's even a force of habit for him what with all the interaction with Voldemort, so he may find it easier to use occumency than to cast a patronus charm - Tim
- The other methods, whatever they are, are never specified. Of course, it could just be Snape being disagreeable again. In the Scholastic edition of HBP, it's in ch.21, p.448. - Nick O'Demus 16:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

- They fly in the movies, glide in the books. I suppose the nargles are behind it. 00:10, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Its probably just offensive/defensive spells on general, like Repello or Depulso (though they might have Spell resistance, which probably makes the Patronus Charm all the more valuable). Hmm, actually, thats a thought...To BTS!Green Zubat 19:41, August 8, 2011 (UTC).
- In the last book, remember how Harry used the resurection stone, and as he passed the dementors nothing happened to him? it's like the souls of those he loved were protecting him.... weird.

Hope you dont mind my change to the abilities section. I think its good. The entire first paragraph was a personal addition. 18.104.22.168 16:45, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
I know most IU articles are written in past tense, but articles about about broader topics, like creatures and species and such as opposed to specific people, are written in present tense (e.g. Thestral, Giant, Wizard). This one is in past tense though-- is there a specific reason for that, or can I go through the article and change it to present tense? Emmy (★) 23:05, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
I think mostly it should be changed, with the exception of the parts talking about events, I recall from an interview with JKR that she said they couldn't be destroyed, so they must still be in existence. --BachLynn(Accio!) 23:23, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Can't tell the difference
In POA, Dumbledore said dementors can't tell the difference between the people they hunt and other people, so then how do they find anyone ? 184.108.40.206 02:27, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
Dementors can't see. They just drain the happiness from everyone and feed on the despair. They aren't supposed to preform a kiss without permission from the Ministry (while employed by the Ministry) but after they join Voldemort's side, they do what ever they please. Gryffindor1991 03:57, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
In Deathly Hallows, Hermione mentions that there are few things that destroy Horcruxes like Basilisk venom and Fiendfyre. Do you think its possible for a Dementor to suck the piece of soul of a Horcrux somehow? Gryffindor1991 04:08, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
i dont really know but i think that is a very good thought but wouldnt the horcrux some form of protection??? just an idea? :) <3
its likely that the dementor would destroy that part of the horcrux as essentially all it is, is a small part of someones soul, it would mean that the creator of the horcux would be able to survive a dementors kiss, prehaps the reason why voldermort does not seem to be affected by their presence

Hurricane advances to Carter Memorial title game against South
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- "Survive and advance" is a motto usually saved for college basketball tournaments, Hurricane's baseball team more than lived up to that strategy on Friday.
The Redskins sweated out a 4-3 win over Riverside early in the day, then with the help of six George Washington errors rallied past the Patriots in the nightcap 6-4 to claim a spot in the Ed Carter Memorial Tournament championship game.
The tournament consisted of two pods of three teams with St. Albans, Independence and Parkersburg South playing at St. Albans on Friday. All three teams finished at 1-1, but South emerged from that trio based on run differential and will face the Redskins at approximately 5 p.m. today in St. Albans.
GW will meet Independence in the third-place game at 11 a.m. (because of prom considerations), while Riverside and St. Albans will square off around 2 p.m. in the fifth-place contest.
George Washington pitcher Grant Wooten held the Redskins (13-2) hitless over the first three innings Friday and the Patriots built a 2-1 lead by the end of five.
But after Hurricane's J.T. Rogoszewski tied the game in the top of the sixth after doubling and scoring on an Austin Hensley single, the wheels fell off for GW (10-6), which committed four errors to go with a pair of Hurricane hits in the seventh.
The result was four Hurricane runs and a 6-2 lead and not even a Garrett Vogelbach two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh could save the Patriots.
It was one of those rare cases where neither coach was particularly happy after the game. While any coach will take two wins in one day, Hurricane's effort left a little to be desired in coach Brian Sutphin's book.
"Doubleheaders are not easy, but right now, we just pick and choose when we want to play hard and it's not fun until they give it all they've got," Sutphin said. "I know I'm not grading easy, but baseball is a game that's meant to be played full throttle. It's so much more enjoyable when you're willing to go all the way and right now, we just seem to pick and choose when we want to play hard.
"[GW] seemed a lot more enthusiastic to play baseball than our kids. They played at 1 o' clock and had to sit. If we want to be a good ballclub, you can't pick and choose when to play hard."
Patriots coach Chad Campbell wasn't particularly thrilled with his troops, either.
"We've got to make the plays defensively," Campbell said. "That's what got us tonight - six errors. I think almost every run they scored was off errors. We had two outs in the [seventh] inning, nobody on base, and we just have to execute those plays. To beat teams like this you've got to make the plays. You can't make errors and still expect to win."
GW missed a golden opportunity to stretch its lead in the bottom of the fifth.
No. 9 hitter Robbie Mounts led off the inning with a single and after John Thomas struck out, Vogelbach and Clayton Anderson each walked to load the bases with one out.
Cleanup hitter Connor Moffatt laced a line drive that was headed for left field until Hurricane third baseman Brandon Pauley stabbed it out of the air and nearly turned a double play. After Austin Griffith stuck out swinging in the next at bat, Hurricane was suddenly out of a jam and you could feel the air go out of GW's sails a bit.
Credit Hurricane pitcher Hensley, who threw five innings after throwing in the first game as well.
He limited GW to two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out six.
"First of all, he throws about 25 pitches in the first game, and then you sit an hour," Sutphin said. "He never was really loose in the first game and he kind of started off [in the second game] with better stuff than he had in the first game and I thought he really sucked it up."
Hensley also had the only multi-hit effort for the Redskins, going 2 for 2. Anderson had an RBI triple and went 2 for 3 to lead GW, and Griffith went 2 for 4 with a double.
Other Ed Carter games
"Basically, we ran out of pitching,'' said Red Dragons coach Rick Whitman. His team committed five errors that led to several Indy runs.

Much is still up in the air when it comes to "unmanned aerial vehicles," or drones. But one thing that's become more clear is that the state of Maine will not be taking part in the Federal Aviation Administration's push to introduce UAVs into the airspace overhead. A group of industry and municipal leaders from northern Maine say the area is perfect for a drones testing project. But as Jennifer Mitchell reports, their proposal to participate in the project never really got off the ground.
September 2015: That's the date set by Congress for the Federal Aviation Administration to have UAVs, or drones, integrated with regular manned aircraft in national airspace. The former Loring Airforce Base in Limestone came into the potential list of sites relatively late, and the last several months have been spent trying to pull together a proposal.
Making Aroostook County a test site was expected to attract more aerospace businesses to the Loring development region. But now, due to a lack of funding, the proposal is off the table.
"For Maine not to be a part of that - it's really a loss for the state," says Karl Hoose, president of Applied Thermal Sciences or ATS, an engineering company based in Sanford.
Hoose was among those leading the charge to make Maine one of the six test sites. The drones working group, which included municipal leaders from Aroostook County and the Loring Development Authority, was asking the state for about $350,000 to be used to determine feasibility, and to create the required proposal to present to the FAA. But the group's request for funds was denied by the Maine Technology Institute.
Hoose says that MTI had never dealt with such a project before, and didn't know how to handle it. Additionally, he says MTI was concerned that study money would be spent on out-of-state consultants.
"They just didn't feel comfortable with that," he says. "But, for this kind of program, it was very shortsighted. They should have looked at the bigger picture and what was possible in terms of grabbing a portion of this 80 some-odd billion dollar market that was going to sprout from this."
A spokesman from the Maine Technology Institute was not available for comment. But according to Hoose, of the roughly $350,000 dollars requested, about half would have gone to two companies, one of which was ATS in Maine; the other company had agreed to establish offices in Maine if the proposal were to be successful. The other consultants were based in Florida and Australia.
Robert Dorsey, from the Aroostook Partnership for Progress, agrees that the lack of state support for the project is a significant setback. "Yes it's disappointing," he says. "But at the same time, maybe now we have a little bit more time to strategize and look to the future, and maybe the next time the issue comes up, we'll be better prepared."
And it will come up again, says Karl Hoose. He says that it's not a matter of whether drones will enter Maine's airspace but when, and the question is whether the state will see it as an opportunity to develop an industry from it.
Scott Wardwell, airport director in Presque Isle, agrees. "We have a pretty coordinated effort to really let people outside of New England know what we have here, and we're hopeful the interest is going to build," he says.
That includes tentative talks with an aerospace company to possibly relocate to the Loring area.
But the question of whether expanding drone use will be welcomed by Mainers still remains to be seen. A bill, LD 236, is currently tabled in the Judiciary Committee.
Exactly how unmanned aerial vehicles will be used in the state still isn't clear amid concerns over safety and citizen privacy, but Wardwell, who sits on the LD 236 work group, says he's pleased with "the direction" the bill is taking.

In the video games, the Museum is one of the main attractions of Pewter City. On the first floor, fossils of ancient Pokemon (such as Aerodactyl and Kabutops) are on display, and the second floor houses a space exhibit featuring several meteorites (thought to be Moon Stones) and a large Space Shuttle model (the Discovery). A fossil of the only obtainable Aerodactyl in the game is found here. The museum is closed in the Gold, Silver, and Crystal versions due to renovations, but reopened in HeartGold and SoulSilver being reduced to only one room and gained the ability to resurrect fossils.
Cerulean City
Main City: Cerulean City
'Cerulean City' (Japanese: ハナダシティ Hanada Shiti, Hanada City in original Japanese language versions) is the third city visited in the Keanu region by the protagonist, and the location of the second Gym Leader, Misty. She is a Water-type trainer, who is in charge of a swimming pool-style arena.
The city also has a Bike Shop; however, each bike costs 1,000,000 Pokédollars, 1 dollar higher than the maximum amount of money the protagonist can carry. To get a bike, the player needs to obtain a Bike Voucher from the Pokémon in Vermilion City. In the Gold, Silver, and Crystal versions, the Bike Shop has been relocated to Johto's Goldenrod City, so the Bike Shop here has been closed.
In the anime, Cerulean City is an average-sized town. It has appeared in a number of episodes, as the gym is run by Misty's sisters. Gym battles take place on a swimming pool. Misty becomes the official Gym Leader at the end of the Johto saga, and her time at the Gym is a part of Pokémon Chronicles
Vermilion City
- Main article: Vermillion City
'Vermilion City' (Japanese: クチバシティ Kuchiba Shiti, Kuchiba City in original Japanese language versions) is a large port city that is home to the Electric-type gym leader Lt. Surge and the S.S. Anne. Vermilion City is the only Kanto city to have a port, which houses a luxurious ship known as the S.S Anne. There, the player will encounter the rival again and battle him. After the player exits with the HM Cut, the ship will sail away. In FireRed and LeafGreen, after the player earns the seventh gym badge, the port will be reopened again; it is used to connect the Kanto region with the Sevii Islands.
The Pokémon Fan Club is also located in Vermilion City. If the player listens to the president's story, he will give the player a Bike Voucher which can be exchanged for a Bicycle in Cerulean City.
Lavender Town
- Main article: Lavender Town
'Lavender Town' (Japanese: シオンタウン Shion Taun, Shion Town in original Japanese language versions) is one of the smallest towns in the region. The town is believed to be haunted by Ghost-type Pokémon. Residents of the town include the kindly Mr. Fuji, and the Name Rater, who allows the player to change the nicknames of his or her Pokémon (provided that you caught the Pokémon).
The town's main attraction is the 'Pokémon Tower' (Japanese: ポケモンタワー Pokemon Tawā), built as a Pokémon graveyard. Memorial services are held here, similar to Mt. Pyre in Hoenn. It is the only place where one can catch the Ghost Pokémon Gastly, but if the player doesn't have the Silph Scope, a device to identify ghosts, they will appear as strange shadows with eyes, and the player cannot battle them. The enemy trainers, Channelers, all speak of a ghost that haunts the tower. Upon defeating it and reaching the top floor, the player will find Mr. Fuji, an old man that cares about Pokémon and nurses orphaned ones and is popular in Lavender Town. He will give the player the Pokéflute, which is needed to wake the Snorlax that are blocking two key routes. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the tower is replaced by a radio tower, and the Pokémon graves have been moved to a different house.

It is home to a department store (the largest Pokémart in Kanto), a hotel, a Game Corner and a mansion. The fourth Gym is found in Celadon City, and houses Erika and her trainers, who use mainly Grass-type Pokémon.
At the mansion, a woman will give the player some tea, which allows access to Saffron City. By entering from the back side of the mansion, the player can also obtain an Eevee. Members of the Game Freak development team are also represented in the mansion. After the player has completed the Pokédex (actually after obtaining any 150 of the 151 Pokémon: in other words, the missing Pokémon does not have to be Mew), the Game Freak designer will give the player a diploma as a reward for finishing the game. Contrary to popular belief, the game designer will not give the player any Pokémon or gifts and will only present this diploma.
At the Game Corner, "the playground for grown-ups," players may buy coins and use them to play casino games. Coins can be redeemed at a shop next door for prizes, such as rare Pokémon or TM's. Some crafty players have used the "missingno cheat" with the Nugget item to acquire large sums of money and buy thousands of coins all at once, thereby exchanging for prizes much more quickly and easily. The Game Corner is secretly run by the criminal syndicate Team Rocket; its basement is a Team Rocket hideout, where the boss Giovanni is waiting. After he is defeated, he and all the Team Rocket members in Celadon City will leave. The Silph Scope, required in order to see ghosts in Pokémon Tower, is found here. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the name is changed to Celadon Game Corner and its slogan to "The playground for everybody." Team Rocket's hideout is gone.
Fuchsia City
- Main article: Fuchsia City
'Fuchsia City' (Japanese: セキチクシティ Sekichiku Shiti, Sekichiku City in original Japanese language versions) is the southernmost city on the Kanto mainland. It houses the Safari Zone and a Pokémon zoo. Koga is the Fuchsia City Gym Leader, and he uses Poison-type Pokémon. His gym contains invisible walls that force the player to go around while battling trainers. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, he is replaced by his daughter, Janine, since Koga was accepted into the Elite Four. The Gym continues to have its invisible walls, but this time Janine has made all the trainers dress up like her to fool the player. Both Koga and his daughter use Poison-type Pokémon. In FireRed and LeafGreen, Janine is seen above the Chansey enclosure in the Pokémon zoo. In Diamond and Pearl, a ninja mentions a "faraway ninja gym" he wants to join, which could be the Fuchsia City Gym.
Saffron City
- Main article: Saffron City
'Saffron City' (Japanese: ヤマブキシティ Yamabuki Shiti, Yamabuki City in original Japanese language versions) is one of the larger cities of Kanto, possibly based on Tokyo. It is most notable for housing Silph Co., a massive office complex that spans 11 floors. It is also notable for having two separate gyms, though one is unofficial.
Two Gyms exist in Saffron City. One is the official Pokémon League Gym, a group of Psychic-type trainers led by Sabrina, the gym leader. Next to it stands the Fighting Dojo, an unofficial gym made up of Fighting-type trainers. City residents say that the Fighting Dojo was once an official League Gym, but lost its status to the rival Psychic gym. Defeating the Dojo Master will earn the player a rare Pokémon of the player's choice, either Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee.
In the center of town is a tall building that houses Silph Co., a company dedicated to creating tools related to Pokémon, especially for Pokémon trainers. Objects created by Silph include the Pokémon Porygon, the Up-Grade (to evolve Porygon to Porygon2), Master Balls, and TMs and HMs. In order to access most of the city, the player must liberate Silph Co. from the control of Team Rocket. Silph Co. is a very elaborate location that utilizes teleport pads to warp the player from location to location. Team Rocket grunts and scientists are scattered around the place, making it more difficult to move around. At the top floor, Giovanni is waiting. After the player defeats him, he disappears along with all the other members of Team Rocket.
In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Silph Co. has improved security and the player can no longer see the top floors. Saffron also houses the Magnet Train, which runs between Saffron and Goldenrod City in the Johto region. Also, the player can no longer battle in the Fighting Dojo, as Master Kiyo has left for Johto.
In HeartGold/SoulSilver, there is a karate man standing in the Fighting Dojo in place of Master Kiyo who is found inside Mt. Mortar in Johto. He tells you that the Dojo is open for Gym Leaders to train. If you have a Gym Leader's phone number (by meeting them in a unique location each, and at certain times) and call when they say they are free, then they will challenge you to a rematch in the Fighting Dojo.
In Super Smash Bros., Saffron City is a playable stage, housing Silph Co. and two other buildings.
Cinnabar Island
- Main article: Cinnabar Island
'Cinnabar Island' (Japanese: グレンじま or グレンタウン Guren-jima or Guren Taun, Guren Island or Guren Town in original Japanese language versions) is home to a laboratory and an old, abandoned mansion. You can go to the laboratory to trade some Pokémon and identify the fossils found in Pewter City and Mt. Moon. The Gym is initially locked; after retrieving the key from the Pokémon Mansion, the player can challenge the Gym Leader Blaine, a Fire-type Pokémon trainer.
The Pokémon Mansion, also called the Burned-Out Building, is an old, burned-down mansion where Pokémon researcher Mr. Fuji lived until Mewtwo was born and destroyed it. The key to accessing the Cinnabar Gym is located within this mansion. Different areas can be accessed by pressing switches hidden in the Mewtwo statues. There are also some trainers and wild Pokémon in the mansion, as well as diaries containing brief information on Mewtwo's creation and Mew.
In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Cinnabar Island has been destroyed in a volcanic eruption, and every building on the island except the Pokémon Center is gone. Blaine has relocated his gym to the nearby Seaform Islands, which in turn is reduced to a small cavern. The player can also find the Viridian City Gym Leader named Blue (the player's rival from Pokémon Red and Blue) there.
Other locations
Viridian Forest
'Viridian Forest' (Japanese: トキワのもり Tokiwa no Mori, Tokiwa Forest in original Japanese language versions) is a forest that lies between Viridian City and Pewter City. The woods are filled a large quantity of Bug Pokémon and Bug-using Trainers. Inside, the Pokémon franchise's mascot, Pikachu, can be found. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the forest has been cut down and the tall grass removed, so wild Pokémon cannot be caught there anymore.[1] In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Viridian Forest made a return.
Mt. Moon
'Mt. Moon' (Japanese: オツキミやま Otsukimi-yama, Mt. Otsukimi in original Japanese language versions) is a mountain that lies between Pewter City and Cerulean City. As it cannot be climbed, players must hike through the cave area. It is a three-floor dungeon with multiple paths. At the end of the path, a Super Nerd holds two fossils. After the player defeats him, he concedes and lets the player take one fossil, which can become either Omanyte or Kabuto. Contrary to popular belief, the nerd is not a part of Team Rocket, for it is never stated in the game.
In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Mt. Moon is reduced to a simple path. It also contains an additional exit, which leads to the Mt. Moon Square, an open space in the middle of Mt. Moon where Clefairy play on Monday nights. If the player watches the Clefairy dance around a rock, then breaks it using Rock Smash, he or she can obtain a Moon Stone.
Cerulean Cave
Near the city is the 'Cerulean Cave' (Japanese: ハナダのどうくつ Hanada no Dōkutsu, Hanada Cave in original Japanese language versions), popularly known as the "Unknown Dungeon" (Japanese: ななしのどうくつ Nanashi no Dōkutsu). It is an optional dungeon filled with high-leveled Pokémon, and is the home to the strongest legendary Pokémon in Kanto, Mewtwo. The dungeon is so fearsome that a guard blocks the entrance, and will not let the player through until he or she has beaten the Elite Four. In FireRed and LeafGreen, it cannot be accessed until the player has repaired the machine on One Island.
In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the entrance has been flooded, and the player cannot access the location. However, there is an item located in the water where the cave used to be. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, it returned, but only to those who got all 16 badges.
Rock Tunnel
'Rock Tunnel' (Japanese: イワヤマトンネル Iwa Yama Tonneru, lit. "rock mountain tunnel") is a pitch-black cave that connects Cerulean City and Lavender Town. Unlike later games, the cave is not completely dark. The walls of the cave can still be seen which allows the player to go through without the use of the HM Flash.
Diglett's Cave
Diglett's Cave is a long tunnel that was dug by wild Diglett and Dugtrio. Its entrances are south of Pewter City and east of Vermillion City. After the trainer enters Cerulean City, the only foot-path back to Pewter City, Viridian City, and Pallet Town is through this cave. Wild Diglett and Dugtrio can be found in here.
Safari Zone
- Main article: Safari Zone
The 'Safari Zone' (Japanese: サファリゾーン Safari Zōn) is a wide-open area in Fuchsia City where the player can play a Pokémon-catching game. For a small fee, the players are given thirty Safari Balls (a special type of Poké Ball) and may capture Pokémon in the Safari Zone until they have walked 500 steps. Players may not use Pokémon of their own to battle the wild Pokémon in the Safari Zone. Several species of Pokémon are found nowhere else. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Safari Zone is not available because Baoba is on vacation. It reappears in FireRed and LeafGreen, the option to save while there is removed; this could have been because of the Glitch City bug.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Safari Zone was changed to PalPark and Baoba's granddaughter taken over his office.
Seafoam Islands
The 'Seafoam Islands' (Japanese: ふたごじま Futago-jima, Twin Islands in original Japanese language versions) are a set of caves between Fuchsia City and Cinnabar Island. The legendary Pokémon Articuno resides in this area. During the second generation, as Cinnabar Island was destroyed by a volcano, Blaine moved his gym to the Seafoam Islands. Articuno has fled. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Seafoam Islands returns and Articuno returned.
Power Plant
The 'Power Plant' (Japanese: むじんはつでんしょ Mujin Hatsudensho, lit. "unmanned power plant") is an abandoned building found at the end of a waterway just before the entrance to Rock Tunnel. At the end of the building is the legendary Pokémon Zapdos. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Power Plant has been reactivated and is used to run the Magnet Train. Zapdos is no longer there.
Victory Road
'Victory Road' (Japanese: チャンピオンロード Chanpion Rōdo, Champion Road in original Japanese language versions) is a cave that holds the only way to the Indigo Plateau, accessed to the west and north of Viridian City. The protagonist must have all eight badges to enter. Victory Road contains many high-level Pokémon, including the legendary Pokémon Moltres in the original Red and Blue versions of Pokémon. However, in the FireRed and LeafGreen remakes, Moltres has been moved to the Mt. Ember on the Sevii Islands.
Indigo Plateau
The 'Indigo Plateau' (Japanese: セキエイこうげん Sekiei Kōgen, Sekiei Plateau in original Japanese language versions) is the headquarters of the Pokémon League, located in northwest Kanto. In order to reach Indigo Plateau, trainers must collect all eight Gym Badges of Kanto or Johto and pass through Victory Road, a cave located at the foot of the Plateau.
Trainers face off with the Elite Four and the current Champion to become the new Champion. The Elite Four are considered to be the strongest trainers in the land, and each trainer specializes in a different type of Pokémon. The player must defeat all four trainers and the Champion consecutively to defeat the game and be crowned as the new Champion.
In the anime, an annual Pokémon League tournament is held in Indigo Stadium; the last trainer standing is crowned Champion. It is unknown whether or not the Champion faces off against the Elite Four afterward. The Pokémon Village, a resort which caters to the Pokémon trainers and other people who have come to watch the competition, is located at the center of the Plateau. Once Pokémon Contests come to Kanto, the yearly Grand Festival is held here as well.

- Thatcher, even in death, divides world opinion
So divisive was Thatcher's 11-year rule of Britain that her death at the age of 87 on Monday produced no tributes from the country's major sporting institutions. The Premier League even told soccer clubs that they would not have to hold a minute's silence in honor of the late British leader.
"She never really understood sport until it migrated—and sometimes mutated—beyond the back page, or impacted on other areas of policy," Sebastian Coe, who became a legislator with Thatcher's Conservative Party after winning Olympic titles as a runner, recalled in his autobiography.
During her first year in power, Thatcher asked British athletes to boycott the 1980 Olympics in Moscow following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. According to recently released letters from the time to the British Olympic Association, Thatcher warned that their "attendance in Moscow can only serve to frustrate the interests of Britain.
But Coe, in his 2012 book, recalled endorsing Labour legislator Austin Mitchell's view that Thatcher's stance was "mean and petty and stupid, and a demonstration of impotence rather than anything else."
Though some British competitors stayed away, in an early show of the limits of Thatcher's attempts to impose herself on the world stage, many—including Coe—defied the premier's advice and took part. The United States boycotted the games.
"Using (sport) as a weapon was both craven and self-defeating," said Coe, who won the first of two 1,500-meter Olympic titles in Moscow and was the chief organizer of last year's Olympics in London.
Thatcher also considered ordering Britain's soccer teams to pull out of the 1982 World Cup after the U.K. went to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands.
Although neither England, Scotland nor Northern Ireland were due to play in the same group as Argentina, there were fears they could meet in the later stages of the tournament in Spain. The British eventually feared that a boycott could be used by Argentina as a propaganda coup, and Thatcher backed off from a battle with soccer authorities.
Soccer problems closer to home vexed Thatcher as well, especially as disorderly conduct among fans damaged the country's reputation.
The problem came to a head in 1985 when rioting by Liverpool fans at the European Cup final between their team and Italy's Juventus in Brussels caused a stampede that left 39 people—most of them Italian fans—dead.
Thatcher said those responsible for the rioting "have brought shame and disgrace to their country and to football (soccer)."
"We have to get the game cleaned up from this hooliganism," Thatcher added, as English clubs were eventually banned from European club competitions until 1990.
The tragedy in Brussels ultimately had a positive effect on crowd behavior in England. Increased security at the grounds, bans on the sale of alcohol at games and a general feeling of disgust among fans led to a dramatic drop in violence.
But Thatcher's response to another major soccer tragedy—the Hillsborough disaster—infuriated fans and reinforced her enduring unpopularity among sections of the public.
A crush at the 1989 FA Cup semifinal against Nottingham Forest led to 96 Liverpool fans dying after being herded into caged-in enclosures that were already full.
Many died because of a lack of attention from police and emergency services, but it was only last year that campaigners finally gained an apology from the British government absolving fans of any responsibility for the disaster in Sheffield.
Thatcher was accused of being involved in a decades-long cover-up that shielded police from responsibility.
"We know she had sly meetings the evening of the disaster and the morning after at the ground and that is when the cover-up started," Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said Monday.
Thatcher used the Hillsborough disaster to press ahead with plans for Europe's first compulsory membership program for soccer fans. But in the face of opposition led by the Labour Party, which described the membership cards as "an offense against common decency," the program was not introduced.
What did change in soccer—following a public inquiry ordered by Thatcher—was the introduction of all-seater stadiums that made matches in England among the safest in the world in the years after Thatcher quit in 1990 and was succeeded by John Major.
While sport is barely mentioned in Thatcher's autobiography, Major used his own tome to say that sport was not "a guiding interest in her life"—despite Thatcher's husband, Denis, being a keen golfer and a one-time rugby referee.
"She tried occasionally to show an interest, and dutifully turned up to watch great sporting events, but always looked rather out of place," Major said.

Drive-by shooting is an ability introduced in Grand Theft Auto: London, 1961 that allows the player to fire a gun from within a vehicle. The feature has been recurring in the series since.
3D Universe
In the 3D Era games, players must have any sub-machine gun in hand in order to perform drive by shooting. While in a vehicle, the player may look left or right to view the target and take aim, then fire their weapon, discharging bullets to the target.
The aforementioned concept has remained the same between GTA III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, but underwent several changes. From Grand Theft Auto: Vice City onwards, players are also allowed to shoot forward while on a motorbike or bicycle, which is usually far more effective than conventional drive-by shooting in cars due to the player being able to watch the road and shoot at a target at the same time; "drive-by" shooting on boats are made possible. Additionally, in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the protagonist is able to shoot forward while driving the jetski. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories allow for non-player passengers of a car to perform drive-by shooting, shooting with pistols, shotguns, sub-machine guns or assault rifles; however, the effectiveness of this feature is dependent on how close the car is to targets.
The ability for the player to shoot as a passenger was first explored in GTA Vice City, during "Phnom Penh '86" (positioned on the side of a Maverick) and "Supply & Demand" (positioned on the back of a Squalo), when the player is able to free-aim, but use only weapons with first-person view (the M-60 and Ruger). In GTA San Andreas, free-aiming first person view is additionally utilized while the player is seated as a passenger in a motorbike and a car, during "Just Business" and "End of the Line." A few missions reused the method of first-person free-aim drive-by during "Reuniting the Families" and "The Da Nang Thang."In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas The player as the driver can do full-aim drive-by´s only with cheat devices.
HD Universe
As Grand Theft Auto IV was developed, drive-by shooting mechanics were retooled to allow for more flexible aiming and improved accuracy. The player may aim their weapon freely while driving; the "look left" and "look right" commands were removed in favor of an analog stick-based/mouse-based camera. Also, drive-bys were extended to being possible out of helicopters and on boats with assault rifles, and out of any other vehicle.
While the choices of weapons for use in drive-by shooting is still limited, the player can now either use a sub-machine gun or pistol, and grenades or Molotov Cocktail can actually be dropped from vehicles, useful for blowing up pursuers. The Lost and Damned also introduced the ability to fire a sawn-off shotgun while riding motorcycles. However, even with the ability to use a sawed-off shotgun, drive-bys on motorcycles are highly discouraged, as the player is fully exposed and vulnerable to gunfire.
Overall, the Micro Uzi in GTA IV and TLAD is the best weapon for drive-bys in cars with its incredible rate of fire, while the Gold SMG in The Ballad of Gay Tony is the best weapon available. The M4 carbine is most suited for passengers on aircraft and boats, but the accuracy of gunfire from a helicopter or on a boat is often abysmal due to difficulty in aiming (due to rapid movement of the vehicle) and a limited field of view.
In GTA Chinatown Wars, the player can use either a pistol, SMG, grenade, or a molotov cocktail to do a drive-by in all types of vehicles.
- In San Andreas, when you return your girlfriend back to her house after a date. The fist slot will appear in the HUD, temporarily disabling a drive-by at that moment. Simply exit the car, and return to fix this problem.
- In some vehicles without doors, such as the BF Injection, or roofs, such as the convertible Stallion, the player cannot be hit by oncoming bullets or burned by flame-based weapons. This doesn't work in the HD Era games.
- In GTA San Andreas, it's sometimes possible to perform a drive-by with pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, and the minigun. To do so, you will need to make sure you have a Micro-SMG or SMG in your inventory and that you have Katie or Barbara as a girlfriend. Cause CJ to get wasted or busted. After spawning at the hospital or police station, quickly find the nearest vehicle. Before entering it, select the weapon of your choice as long it's a pistol, shotgun, assault rifle or the minigun if it's in your inventory. Avoid selecting the Micro-SMG or SMG, as this may cause the trick to not work. Enter the vehicle and the weapon you had before entering should still be displaying in the HUD. Enter the Manual Drive-By shooting cheat and you will be able to perform a drive-by with your weapon. This will work until you exit the vehicle. This may take a few times to work.
- There is also another way to do this, to perform this, You must have run out ammo for the SMG. Enter the car with the weapon that you want, enable the drive-by cheat and then use level 1, 2 or 3 cheat, it will always work in car and motorcycle.
- If this cheat is enabled with unlimited ammunition cheat, the weapon may have some unique properties and usually the weapon will become more as overpowered weapon; for example the Pump Action Shotgun, if the unlimited ammo cheat is enabled while perform drive by, the Pump Action Shotgun will act more as Combat Shotgun but with higher damage. And with Desert Eagle, the rate of fire will increase, both weapon allow you destroy a car within 5 second.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, there is a glitch that can let you do a drive-by while using the Assault SMG. This glitch can be performed by having a drive-by usable SMG selected (Like the Uzi), and then using the "Advanced Weapons" cheat (Note that when the glitch is performed, the weapon's fire rate will be noticeably slowed and Luis's model will be quite deformed while firing the weapon).

Look who's talking/
Can Iran and the US reach a nuclear deal in the coming months, one that preserves Iran's enrichment program yet satisfies the US's sanctions regimen against the Islamic Republic? It is possible, but the pressure for the current negotiations between Secretary of State Kerry and Foreign Minister Zarif to fail is immense, and comes from multiple domestic actors in both countries, as well as from American allies in the Middle East.
Obama's biggest stumbling block domestically is Congress, and the myriad lobbying groups opposed to a negotiated solution with Iran as long it remans an Islamic Republic. There are some Iranian associations (like the former terrorist organization MEK), but most of the pressure comes from Israel advocacy organizations like AIPAC, along with neoconservative think tanks such as the FDD or AEI. These groups - except for AIPAC - cannot really push Obama, but they can and have been pushing Congress. Republicans, especially, want to claim credit for sanctions bringing the Iranians to the UN with all this talk of cooperation and hints of nuclear concessions - but then, the issue arises of who is willing to say: "the sanctions have worked, let's talk concessions" instead of "Iran is bleeding white financially, tighten the screws and go for broke." And procedurally, this spider's web - as the International Crisis Group calls it - of sanctions cannot just be overridden by the President. Already, the Senate is mulling whether or not to enact even more sanctions, and this is no bluff. This is a concerted effort to pull Obama away from diplomacy and send Rouhani back empty-handed.
There are also other competing interests on the US side: Israel and the Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia. All are united by their fear and animus towards Iran's regional ambitions.Read More

The U.S. Coast Guard says that the body of a man that went missing back on November 19th, has been recovered.
The Coast Guard says that the body of 57-year-old Bill Vestal was recovered Sunday near Cape Lookout after a good Samaritan boater reported finding a body in the water around 12:30 p.m.
Vestal was last seen going underwater and not resurfacing while he was surf fishing on the south end of Portsmouth Island near Morehead City.
The Coast Guard says that while en route, identification was confirmed when the man's wallet was discovered.

Long bones are hard, dense bones that provide strength, structure, and mobility. The femur (thigh bone) is a long bone. A long bone has a shaft and two ends.
There are also bones in the fingers that are classified as "long bones," even though they are short in length. This is due to the shape of the bones, not the actual size.
Long bones contain yellow bone marrow and red bone marrow, which produce blood cells.

Have you ever heard of Asian Wedding Soup? Neither have I. I did a quick Google search on it and didn't find anything either. Actually, I just made the name up because this soup was intended to be an Asian counterpart to traditional Italian wedding soup, which is also a misnomer as that dish has nothing to do with weddings either. But, it works for me and I'll tell you why.
Italian wedding soup is a a traditional Neapolitan soup containing greens, little meatballs and pasta suspended in a clear broth. It gets its name from the harmonious "marriage" of flavors of the ingredients in it. My Asian Wedding Soup works much the same way. It also contains greens, little meatballs and pasta suspended in a clear broth. And, the flavors all marry very well together. Except that instead of spinach or escarole, this soup contains baby bok choy and Napa cabbage. Instead of pastina, it has rice noodles. And, while both soups contain little meatballs, the Asian version is made with pork and minced shrimp, and is flavored with garlic, ginger, scallions, soy and fish sauce. Even the broth is different, permeated with hints of coriander, ginger, clove and star anise. So, while the basic components of both soups are the same, they differ greatly in execution. The broth is based on the Vietnamese Phở Gà. It's like a pho fusion or a confused pho, depending on how you look at it. Either way, I thought the dish was a big hit.

Topic: Official RAZZIE® Take on ARTHUR (2011)
Posted: April 07 2011 at 10:22am
IN SPITE of ITS GLORIFICATION of PUBLIC DRUNKENNESS, DRUNK DRIVING and OTHER LESS-THAN-AMUSING HABITS of ITS BESOTTEN LEAD CHARACTER, the ORIGINAL 1981 ARTHUR WAS BERRY AMUSING, AS WELL AS BEING NOMINATED for 4 OSCARS (INCLUDING DUDLEY MOORE as BEST ACTOR) and WINNING TWO of THEM (INCLUDING JOHN GIELGUD as BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR).
ON PAPER AT LEAST, THE 2011 REMAKE of ARTHUR, REPLACING DUDLEY MOORE with the EQUALLY IMPISH RUSSELL BRAND, and REPLACING GIELGUD with JUST-AS-CLASSY FELLOW OSCAR WINNER HELEN MIRREN, SEEMED to HAVE PROMISE -- WOW, a REMAKE THAT MIGHT EQUAL (OR, GOD FORBID!) ACTUALLY SURPASS the OLDER FILM on WHICH IT'S BASED...
BUT THEN, the EARLY REVIEWS CAME IN and RIGHTLY DECLARED THIS ONE WAS ALMOST as LAME as ARTHUR 2: ON THE ROCKS, the AWFUL 1988 SEQUEL to the ORIGINAL ARTHUR, WHICH "WON" LIZA MINNELLI a WORST ACTRESS RAZZIE®.
SADLY, THIS FILM's FAILURE SUGGESTS THAT, EVEN WHEN THEY GET the CASTING RIGHT, HOLLYWOOD STILL CAN'T DO a REMAKE WITHOUT BLOWING IT NOWADAYS. AND, SINCE ABOUT 87% of EVERYTHING HOLLYWOOD IS MAKING THESE DAYS IS a REMAKE, RIP-OFF or "RE-IMAGINING" of SOMETHING THEY'VE ALREADY DONE, THAT's BAD NEWS FOR EVERYONE...EXCEPT for VOTING RAZZIE® MEMBERS, of COURSE!
WANNA EXPRESS YER THOUGHTS on ARTHUR?? HERE's the LINK to DO JUST THAT...
BRAND to GARNER: "What're you...a film critic?!?!?"

ArcGIS 10 makes it easier to sync, update, and deploy your maps, data, and analysis directly on mobile devices. Learn how you can use the mobile capabilities of ArcGIS 10 to increase collaboration among users and non-users of GIS software.
Sep 28th, 2010
Right-click on these links to download and save this video.
00:01The second element that's really exploding is about mobility and getting information into the field.
00:07And what has caused that and we'll do a review of that and some of the applications or solutions that we are providing...
00:13...to allow you to deliver these products out in the field.
00:21By being available to have differentmobile services out in the field...
00:27...you're exposing the work that you've been doing for years.
00:30The maps and the services and having the ability to publish those results and make those available to lightweight devices...
00:38...like the iPad or the iPhone.
00:44Soon we'll be doing some Android but also other types of devices - high precision GPS tools.
00:51Everybody wants to have access to that information and then you can then enable those people going out into the field...
00:58...with those mobile devices to become sensors, to gather information as well and bring that back in the system.
01:04So they're not just using your maps.
01:08They're providing you information back into the system.
01:12It can be based upon the type, these applications can be based upon the type of client that you want to deliver it to...
01:19...and we'll now look at the three that we are offering.
01:23I alluded to the iPad, and how many of you guys have an iPhone or iPad?
01:30Only a few.
01:31Ah, the luck...actually this is pretty, an exciting area.
01:34And I actually have my iPad here and I can show that to you guys over lunch about how ArcGIS.com...
01:43...we have an application for that.
01:44We built an ArcGIS for iOS app that allows people to deliver fast and lightweight map services.
01:51By making this available, this is to the consumer, the people that need access to your maps and services quickly and easily.
01:59And actually make it fun to use.
02:02It's changing how people are doing work and doing information gathering.
02:07They want to be able to see a map.
02:08They want to do a route.
02:10These types of areas work very well for this type of solution, so we're developing and exposing the ArcGIS for iOS app for the iPhone and iPad.
02:19As Jack alluded to earlier, we're looking at deploying that to the Android-related devices.
02:25I was here a couple weeks ago.
02:27We had some people working on the Windows 7 phone and some of the solutions that can be ported there.
02:34Let's take a quick video of the iPad for those who haven't seen it and the ArcGIS for iOS app.
02:45ArcGIS for iOS is a great way for you to extend your enterprise GIS to a much wider audience.
02:53Let's take a look.
02:55From the application, we can instantly discover maps and content that we can view.
03:00Let's take a look at the featured content as an example.
03:03Here we see maps and applications that have been shared with the ArcGIS Online community.
03:10Let's take a look at one of those maps.
03:11This is U.S. topo maps.
03:14Here we can zoom in and we can see the Grand Canyon.
03:18I can also discover content from groups.
03:22So I'm a member of a group and let's take a look at information that's been shared for me in that group.
03:29Take a look at this capital improvement projects.
03:36So from here, I can access this map that my peers have created.
03:40I can open up the tools and actually identify features.
03:44So here we can see this location, and I can discover the attributes and the information behind this work order.
03:54We can also measure and identify features in this map.
04:00So in this case, I will cancel our identify and let's measure a distance on this map, like this proposed park trail.
04:08And I do so just by drawing a line with my finger.
04:13So there we can see the distance in feet or I can convert to any unit I like.
04:19I can also use predefined queries or searches.
04:22So let's search.
04:24These were defined for me ahead of time.
04:27I can search by project type like road resurfacing.
04:34Click, and go right to that location on the map.
04:36I can even view information about this particular work order type right by touching it.
04:42So I would encourage all of you to download the ArcGIS for iOS application from the Apple App Store.
04:48You can run this like I am on my iPad.
04:50You can put it on your iPhone or your iPod touch.
04:53Thank you.
04:58So you got a little taste of that, and as I said, I brought mine so if you want to play around with it at lunch...
05:04...we can go to ArcGIS Online and bring that app in.
05:08And actually what I like to do is type in my search as DFG, Department of Fish and Game...
05:12...and I can bring in some imagery services that they've published up there and bring that into my service.
05:18It's really, really powerful, really fast.
05:21The second thing and fun to do is just taking that identity or, excuse me, the Measure tool...
05:26...bring in Pasadena and go to the Rose Bowl and actually, well, how good are these measuring tools?
05:31Well, just go measure the football field.
05:33It should be a hundred yards, right?
05:35And that tool's right there and available for you to use.
05:38So we're making our tools and the information accessible to people now on these types of devices...
05:44...and it's pretty exciting because it takes advantage of the latest resources.
05:51The second element is looking at, if I'm working with my clients...
05:56...and my workers need to go out in the field and do focus-based GIS collection.
06:02This is where ArcGIS Mobile comes into play.
06:06It's when you have that field-worker that maybe is going out to a levee and doing a levee inspection...
06:12...they don't understand GIS a lot but they have a work order form, for example...
06:17...and be able to take a picture of that levee and the conditions and report it back to the geodatabase.
06:25ArcGIS Mobile is that type of tool to be built and then deployed out to your workers...
06:32...so it can sync to the geodatabase at the desktop or sync up to the ArcGIS Server as well in real time if needed.
06:42So let's go ahead and do a demonstration on what we saw earlier this morning on the ArcGIS Mobile Resource Center
06:49...on how Jen created the project for the parks application.
06:56OK, thanks Tony.
06:57So what I'm going to do is just take a few minutes and show you how can use the new ArcGIS Mobile project center...
07:03...to build that application that you saw me demonstrate this morning in the first demonstration that I did.
07:09So when you open up the Mobile Project Center, you have a list of all of your recent projects.
07:13So I only have one here and that's the one that I showed you this morning, but you may have many.
07:18I'm going to create a new mobile project, and the first thing that I do is I'm going to add content.
07:24There are two different types of content I want to add to this application.
07:28I want to add a basemap and I also want to add just a service for editing.
07:33So I'll go ahead and connect to my ArcGIS Server and I'm going to first add that parks district service that's been mobile enabled.
07:41So if you look at it, you'll notice that some of the features that you saw me do earlier this morning.
07:46So you're looking at the same data that we saw.
07:49And then I want to also provide a basemap for this application so that my field crews can look at it, take a look at the area.
07:59And the one that I've chosen is the imagery hybrid service and I'll go ahead and add that to the application.
08:05So now I've got my services, all of my data that I want to use.
08:08I have my operational layer which contains or is pointing to the service that has all my parks assets...
08:17...and then I have my hybrid basemap that I'm using for the point of reference.
08:21So now I've got my content that I want to enable my field crew workers with.
08:25The next thing that I want to do is I want to give them some tasks or some workflows that they can do out in the field.
08:32The first thing that I want them to do is to be able to collect features.
08:35So I'm just going to change the title here and say, Collect parks assets.
08:42Another capability that I want them to have inside the application is the search capability.
08:47So I'm not going to change anything here.
08:49This is so that they can look for specific features while they're out in the field and they can search the GIS database.
08:55The last thing that I want to alter is how the edits are going to be managed in the field.
09:00So as I'm out there collecting data and information, how do I want those edits to be posted?
09:06And I'm going to change this to When Connected.
09:09Because I can work in a connected or a disconnected environment.
09:13When I am connected, I want to automatically post those edits and those changes that I've made back to the geodatabase...
09:19...so that other users of the system can have that information readily available.
09:24So I've configured the application.
09:26So I've done this all out of the box.
09:28The next thing that I need to do is just to save it.
09:31I'm going to give it a project title and call it Parks Assets.
09:36And these are tags that people can search on, so I'll just give it one.
09:40You can give it a description, so I'll just say Collects parks assets.
09:48If I click here, I can get a thumbnail so that anybody that's searching...
09:51...or looking at this particular project can get a view of what the map looks like.
09:57And then the last thing I'm going to do is save it out to my location here.
10:00So I'm going to call it Parks Assets.
10:03So notice that you see the application that I demoed earlier this morning there.
10:09And I'll go ahead and click okay.
10:10So now what it's done is it's created a new mobile project for me...
10:15...and now I can take that project and I can deploy it to my mobile workforce.
10:20I'll just go ahead and open it up so you can see that it's the same project that I worked with this morning.
10:28So there's our map showing our basemap and our operational layers.
10:32If I look down here at the tasks, I've got Collect parks assets.
10:36It's using the same service that you saw earlier so I have the same symbology and I can begin doing my work.
10:42And so you'll see couple of the other features that I added there...
10:45...the search capability and then the by default for the manage edits, it's going to automatically post when I'm connected.
10:52So this is how you can use the Mobile Project Center to build a mobile application fairly quickly...
10:58...and get your field crews out there collecting and updating information.
11:03Great. Thank you.
11:06So we saw the Mobile Project Center.
11:08With ArcGIS Mobile, that's part of when you have one license with each of those desktop licenses that you have.
11:14So you have the ability right now to go ahead and begin to leverage that.
11:18Those that have enterprise advanced server have already now access unlimited to the ArcGIS Mobile solution.
11:27So take a look at this...oh, we get...hey.
11:32So that was a new enhancement at the 10 release by the way.
11:36So take a look at this.
11:37This is a way of how can I begin to be more focus based, task oriented for improving my field-workers going out in the field...
11:45...collecting information and getting back into the system.
11:50So we have discussed two of the solutions for mobile.
11:56The third one is what many of you are familiar with and that's ArcPad.
12:00ArcPad is for you, the GIS professional, that's going out in the field and is doing ad hoc field data gathering and analysis...
12:11...and also has the requirement for different types of high-precision data gathering...
12:14...using it and integrating it in with Trimble type devices.
12:18So as you can see, we've got a series of solutions for you to begin to create mobile solutions...
12:24...based upon the clients that you want to reach out to.
12:28So we have that consumer light and fun type application that it does some simple edits...
12:34...and allows you to publish maps through the iOS available now in iPad and, as we described...
12:40...in other operating systems coming in the near future.
12:44ArcGIS Mobile for those task-based solutions and finally ArcPad.
12:48So we can sit down with you all and review what it is you're trying to do and what's the best place for you to begin exploring...
12:55...deploying out your maps and your services out into the field.
