There are many secrets and optional objectives to be had in the world of "Final Fantasy VII," in addition to a number of rare and easily missed items. One such secret area with rare items, is The Sunken Gelnika. A sunken airship sitting at the bottom of the ocean, it waits for someone to come and acquire it's hidden treasure.
In the story, on the party's quest to obtain Big Materia and keep it out of the hands of Shinra, Cloud and friends commandeer an enemy submarine, and chase after that of another enemy vessel. Upon shooting it down, the heroes obtain information leading them to other parts of the world and unable to fully explore the depths at that current time.
At this point in the game, the party gains access to the use of the stolen sub indefinitely, and therefor can go underwater and search for the sunken airship at any time until the end of the game. If the player decides to explore the vast expanses of the ocean floor, The Sunken Gelnika, a Shinra supply airship that crashed and sunk to the bottom of the sea while carrying a multitude of valuable items, can be found tucked away in a small corner of the map.
Inside, there are many precious treasures to be found. The airship is made up of four separate rooms, the Entrance, which is where the player enters at, the Research Room, branching off from the initial entrance, the Hallway, yet another branch from the entrance, and the Cargo Room, which lies at the end of the hallway. The first thing one will notice upon entrance is a glowing chest, which contains a weapon for Cloud, Heaven's Cloud.

Saddleback Leather Co. makes gorgeous bags, but they left the ladies out in the cold when they discontinued their smallest briefcase - the standard sizes are practically bigger than we are. So we were thrilled to discover that the Small Classic Briefcase ($397) is back for a limited run, and we're not going to miss getting our hands on one this time. If you agree, don't dawdle - these beauties are only available to order through October 15th.

What is mediation?
Mediation is a way of helping people explore their problems and aims to help people communicate effectively with other parties in dispute situations. With the help of trained mediators neighbours get a real chance to address their problems in a non-confrontational, safe and sensitive manner with the aim of allowing those involved to live side by side more peaceably without fear or loss of quality of life.
- You remain in complete control of the process
- Mediators do not take sides
- Community mediation within Elmbridge is free
- |Mediation North Surrey (MNS), an independent charity, has undertaken mediation within the Borough of Elmbridge since 1998.
How does it work?
- If you are having a problem with your neighbours, you can contact Mediation North Surrey directly or via ourselves (Environmental Services) With your permission trained mediators will visit you at home to listen to your problems. A similar visit will be made to your neighbours.
- If you are both willing, a mediation session with both parties together will be arranged in a private venue. During the session, both sides have a chance to talk without being interrupted. The mediators ensure any anger is safely contained.
- Usually an agreement is reached which both parties are willing to accept. The agreement may be written down and signed but it is not legally binding. Over 85% of mediated cases conclude with a positive result.

News Roundup
September 15, 2011
Check out highlights from the Reichert Celebration and find out about record-setting cutting scores and breakthroughs in the reined cow horse industry.
Reichert Celebration
The American Quarter Horse Journal was on the road at the 2011 Reichert Celebration in Fort Worth, Texas.
Larri Jo Starkey, Journal editor, caught up with Ronnie and Vickie Kent of Graceville, Florida, the proud breeders and owners of Won Lopin RV Machine. The chestnut gelding won the Reichert Celebration Equine Sports Medicine 2-year-old maiden western pleasure slot class on September 10. By A Good Machine and out of Ill Be Dun Won It by Zips Poco Pine, Won Lopin RV Machine was ridden to the win by Jay Starnes of Summerton, South Carolina.
"Jay had the horse as ready as he could be," Vickie says of Jay's winning run with "Spider-Man," as they call the gelding around the barn. "He was as broke as he could be, he was ready as (Jay) could get him, because he's a perfectionist and he gets them as perfect as he can possibly get them to this point. And Jay is a wonderful showman. He's going to show him to perfection. So this part, you can't do anything else except that. All you can do is get the horse ready, and all you can do is show him as best as you can. You can't control what the judges do. That part's out of your hands."
A full sister to Rode Rageous, winner of more than $25,000 in National Snaffle Bit Association earnings, was the high-selling yearling September 10 at the Reichert Celebration yearling sale. By Ziprageous and out of Its A Good Life by Good Version, Shes A Godaddy Girl was consigned by Cooper Quarter Horses.
For more Journal coverage from the Reichert Celebration, visit americashorsedaily.com.
The Journal will sport all of its coverage from the event in the October issue of Journal Plus, the Journal's online bonus magazine exclusively for subscribers to the print magazine. Visit www.aqha.com to learn more about Journal Plus and to read the current issue.

New Records
In 1998, at the National Cutting Horse Association World Finals, Lindy Burch and the red roan mare Bet Yer Blue Boons marked a record score of 233. That record stood until September 4, 2011.
It was another mare, 13 years later, who would knock Bet Yer Blue Boons off the top.
Bred, trained and shown by Phil Rapp, Dont Look Twice is a front-runner in the race for the 2011 NCHA Horse of the Year title. The 6-year-old mare's record-setting score of 234 is sure to help.
Phil and Dont Look Twice marked the 234 during the Mercuria-NCHA World Series Open finals held at the Idaho Cutting Horse Association Futurity in Nampa, Idaho. The score pushed them to the top of the leader board at the event, but it wasn't the duo's first World Series win this year.
The duo captured its first win at the World Series competition in February at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Phil and Dont Look Twice's second World Series win came in July at Battle in the Saddle in Oklahoma City.
The daughter of High Brow Cat also boasts an illustrious maternal line. Her dam, Tapt Twice, bred by Phil Rapp, is an earner of more than $279,000. Tap O Lena, mother of Tapt Twice, won a barnful of NCHA titles from 1994-1997, including more than $450,000 in NCHA earnings. But it all goes back to Tapeppyoka Peppy, the dam of Tap O Lena, whom Phil rode to an AQHYA cutting world championship in 1985. In addition to boasting a laundry list of spectacular progeny, Tapeppyoka Peppy had more than $123,555 in NCHA earnings.
Considering all of the phenomenal athletes that Phil has worked with throughout his career, it really says something when he refers to Dont Look Twice as a once-in-a-lifetime horse.
"God gave her to us, and she is a once-in-a-lifetime horse," Phil said after his World Series win at Battle in the Saddle. "I hope she never goes anywhere."
Texas Wildfires
At the request of Texas Task Force-1, a component of the Veterinary Emergency Team at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences was deployed to the wildfires consuming Bastrop, Texas, on September 7.
As more of the area affected by the Bastrop County wildfire is brought under control, the number of animals being seen by the emergency team has been significantly reduced. However, the services of VET are still needed to support local veterinarians and animal health officials with animals that remain in emergency shelters.
For more information about VET's work in Bastrop County, visit the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine website.
Cow Horse Invitation
If you qualify for the working cow horse finals at the 2011 AQHA World Championship Show, you're also going to get an invitation to the National Reined Cow Horse Association World Championship Show.
The NRCHA World Championship Show is January 28 – February 5 in San Angelo, Texas.
This action follows a previous decision of the NRCHA Board of Director to invite youth finalists at the Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show to compete at the NRCHA World Show.
"Our purpose in doing this was to encourage AQHA members to come and compete in the NRCHA," says AQHA judge Sam Rose, an NRCHA board member. Sam has been instrumental in setting up youth clinics and activities and working to increase participation in reined cow horse events.
Working cow horse finalists at the AQHA World Show will be contacted after the conclusion of the event. The horses and riders that have qualified for the NRCHA World Show via qualification at the AQHA World Show will compete in the classes for which they are eligible.
The American Quarter Horse Journal teaches readers the history, trends and diversity in the Quarter Horse industry, from pleasure to working cow horse, from racing and to halter.
More Cow Horse News
NRCHA has added a new staple to its premier limited age events.
In 2012, a non-pro limited class will be added to NRCHA's premier limited age events for derby-age horses – 4- and 5-year-olds – such as the Circle Y Derby, Hackamore Classic and Derby.
This new stand-alone class will feature herd work, rein work and boxing, and will have no finals. Eligibility for the class will be based on the rules for the current non-pro limited horse show class.
Be on the lookout for this new class, which will debut at the Circle Y Ranch Derby, held in January at the NRCHA Celebration of Champions.

While Transformed organizations serve as benchmarks for establishing analytics competencies, almost half of the organizations we surveyed are at the Experienced level, somewhere between the most basic and the most advanced segments.10 We took a closer look at this large transitional segment to better understand those organizations (see Figure 11).
We found that organizations, after starting, diverge in their approach to analytics. We characterize the alternative paths as Specialized or Collaborative, based on the way analytics is leveraged and deployed:
The Specialized path. Deep analytics expertise is developed within lines of business or specific functions using a wide array of analytical skills and techniques. Analytics is used to improve specific business metrics. Slightly more than half of the Experienced organizations took this route.
The Collaborative path. An enterprisewide information platform is created, enabling insights to be developed and shared across lines of business. Analytics is used to improve enterprise objectives. Slightly fewer than half of Experienced organizations took this route.
See Figure 12 for a comparison of the relative proficiency levels these paths exhibit for each of the three analytics competencies.
The Specialized Path Can Lead To Well-Defined Gains
With impetus coming from within lines of business, organizations on the Specialized path pragmatically focus on improving their operational metrics while growing revenue and increasing efficiency. They use their analytical prowess in advanced skills and techniques, such as predictive modeling, to focus on orchestrating marketing campaigns and finding the best match between individual customers and sales representatives.
FIGURE 11: Paths to Transformation
In addition to the revenue gains resulting from these programs, the Specialized path takes organizations through a wide range of efficiencies and cost savings. Predictive scenarios and simulations, for example, make it possible to understand how changes caused by internal strategies and external forces will impact individual units in terms of resource allocations, revenue growth and operating costs. We found that organizations on this path increased their use of analytics over the last 12 months, but rarely as a core part of the overall business strategy.
The Specialized Path and the Three Competencies
1. Information management is siloed.

I am trying hard to get ubiquity works. The thing is that I want to setup Ubuntu 13.04 on a full encrypted LVM aside a Windows installation. So I can't use the default option of full disk encryption.
The issue is when I try to use a partition as physical encryption volume I always get an error concerning keyfile.
And if I make the partition before launching ubiquity, then I get an error when I try to make the mapping between logical volumes and mount points.
This was working great with alternate CD (or USB) but since they shutdown this Ubuntu image, I'm stuck.
Maybe it is time to look for another Linux distro or maybe someone has a solution...

Himalayan Project
Himalayan Project Earthquake Relief Efforts
On April 25th, 2015 a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal near the capital city of Kathmandu. This devastating quake was compounded by a second 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck on May 12th. The epicenter of the second earthquake was located in the Everest region, very near the village of Chaurikharka, where The Himalayan Project has worked in the community for nearly two decades. This is the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since 1934.
Sally Hunsdorfer, The Himalayan Project Leader, and her husband Peter arrived in Kathmandu on May 8th and made their way to the village of Chaurikharka to assess the damage there and support the community. They returned to Kathmandu just hours before the second earthquake struck on May 12th. There have been reports of injuries in the village of Chaurikharka and what buildings were still standing after the first earthquake have been destroyed by this second devastating quake, save only a few "earthquake proof" buildings including the new Cultural Center.
The Himalayan Project is committed to first rebuilding and repairing the School and Cultural Center at the heart of Chaurikharka. With any additional funds, The Himalayan Project will support the rebuilding of the 54 houses in the village. Sally Hunsdorfer, The Himalayan Project Leader will be on the ground in Chaurikharka in July of 2015 to oversee the disbursing of the donated relief funds and the rebuilding efforts. The Himalayan Project has been working in the village of Chaurikharka, Nepal for nearly 20 years, supporting the expansion and improvements to the school, an original Sir Edmund Hillary School, the building of the Cultural Center, and overall community support. To learn more about the Himalayan Project's history in Nepal click here.
Below is a message we received from Sally on May 13, shortly after the second earthquake hit the region.
As I write this it is 1:00 am in a blackened and absolutely silent Kathmandu which is normally pulsing with life 24/7. The city holds it's breath and waits for the now all too familiar rocking and rolling motions of the earth. The smell of fear is palpable and you can cut it with a knife, even in the darkness that surrounds me. I am listening, listening for the tell tale signs of oncoming quake activity by the sounds of frenzied birds and dogs.....
A little over 12 hours earlier I had just returned from a flight to the mountains for several days to immerse myself in an assessment of damage in Chaurikharka in the Everest region. After the first quake hit 17 days ago and even with hundreds of subsequent aftershocks in the week that followed, the Everest region wasn't even showing up on the top 10 areas in Nepal that were the hardest hit. This was primarily because the loss of life had been deemed "minimal" and the damage had been contained in "pockets of destruction" up and down the Khumbu Valley. Mother Nature definitely targeted Chaurikharka as one of those pockets and rocked the village to it's core. Peter and I visited each of the 54 houses in the village, talking with family members about their immediate needs and photographing the damage. Their lives had been turned upside down in an instant and many had lost everything that had taken a lifetime to accumulate. During this process we became acutely aware that villagers needed to tell their stories and release the floodgates so it was all fraught with intense emotion!
We also surveyed the damage to the school and the newly built Sherpa Cultural Center within the vicinity of the school. Thankfully the school buildings are only one story and the damage sustained is certainly manageable and doesn't require that the buildings be torn down and completely rebuilt. The Sherpa Cultural Center was designed and built to be earthquake proof and it came through with flying colors! Needless to say as the villagers rebuild for the future they will be studying this design.
Along with our dear friend Karsang Sherpa, Peter and I called together a committee of villagers to have a consensus on how much each family will receive when we distribute the relief aid that The Himalayan Project has raised through many of your incredible and generous donations. We have also been in contact with a Nepali engineer that we flew back from the mountains with and our hope is that THP will fund him to eventually re-visit Chaurikharka after the cleanup and before everyone starts the rebuilding process to teach them about earthquake proof construction.
We arrived back in Kathmandu only hours before the second big quake hit with Chaurikharka being near the epicenter this time. School had just started up again after a month long holiday and this time there were serious injuries and students had to be carried on stretchers for an hour to the nearest health clinic. I got word finally that those houses that were still standing in the village after the first quake had now collapsed. Everyone is living under tarps or in makeshift tents for the foreseeable future as the onset of the monsoon season begins and then the cold weather sets in come October. I am very anxious at this point to step up our goals for relief aid and get it distributed as soon as possible so people can start the rebuilding. The Nepali government has allotted $7000 rupees per family (about $70) along with a bag of rice, some cooking oil, sugar and powdered milk and that will be the extent of their aid to these mountain villages. The international aid organizations have targeted the most seriously damaged communities in the first quake and so those areas are besieged with help, which of course is wonderful. Chaurikharka has been both cursed and blessed to be a week's walk from Kathmandu or a costly flight to Lukla and therefore the possibility of aid isn't blinking bright red on anyone's radar screens at the moment!
So keep your prayers and donations coming, PLEASE. Time is of the essence, especially since I plan to return in June or July to hopefully help distribute The Himalayan Project's relief aid. With any luck, Peter and I will be on a flight to Bangkok this morning. How incredibly fortunate that we have THAT choice......
With immense gratitude!
About The Himalayan Project
The Himalayan Project was conceived out of an incredible passion that Sally Hunsdorfer experienced after many journeys to Nepal and intense interactions with the Sherpa people in the Solu Khumbu or Everest region.
Taking care of an immediate need, Sally developed an interactive program called "A Day in the Life of a Nepali Child", participating in schools throughout the Northeast and focusing on nurturing awareness and compassion among American school children for the plight and beauty of Nepali culture, At the end of each presentation, Sally asks students to donate any outgrown and unused fleece clothing which is then washed and packed into body sized duffle bags, flown to Kathmandu with members of The Himalayan Project team, and then finally carried by foot to extremely remote villages throughout Nepal. The Himalayan Project has also developed a pen pal initiative which aims to connect Nepali students with school children in America.
Ten years ago as Sally was traveling back and forth to Nepal, she started a "dialogue" with the headmaster of a school in the village of Chaurikharka. This school, started by Sir Edmund Hillary to originally serve 30-50 local village children, is still only one of two schools in the Everest region that can provide a complete education through grade 12. However, many decades later, 350 children throughout the mountains trek up to 3-4 hours a day to attend classes or live "on site" in stone dormitories and return home to their villages during vacations. Headmaster Biruman Rai has persevered there for 25 years giving direction and vision in spite of minimal and unreliable government support. He has clung to his dreams as he has doggedly worked and watched them unfold all within the original 2 stone classroom buildings built by Edmund Hillary almost 60 years ago.
The Himalayan Project has raised critical funds to support this dream of building a physical infrastructure to serve the immediate needs of an ever expanding student population. Over the years The Himalayan Project has funded the building of an enclosed hall to house the entire school under cover during the many months of the year when inclement weather reigns.....monsoons in the summer and snows in the winter. Along with this building project, The Himalayan Project has also funded a library replete with Nepali, Tibetan and English books, constructed classroom buildings for the addition of grades 11 and 12, renovated a school kitchen and cafeteria, and perhaps most importantly, initiated a scholarship fund for village children whose families cannot afford the $10-$20 per month that it costs to send a child to school.
Now The Himalayan Project is on the cusp of moving to the next level with a dream to have this school become a model for the preservation of the Sherpa culture. The ancient, Buddhist traditions of the Sherpa culture are becoming minimized and forgotten within the larger framework of a country that is 80% Hindu. The Himalayan Project goal is to offer a university education to young Sherpa women who have successfully completed their SLC [School Leaving Certificate] and return to their communities in the Everest Region to teach and pass on in a formal way the song, dance, storytelling, language and cultural heritage of this ancient and vibrant culture. Traditionally the Sherpa people have become involved in the tourism and trekking industry and all the teachers in the Everest region are Hindus who are paid an extra stipend to leave their families from "down valley" and move to the mountains to teach for a part of every school year. The Himalayan Project goal is to secure an endowment that would produce a yearly income to provide for several university tuitions and salaries for prepared young female Sherpa teachers.

Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) hosted a delegation of students and faculty members from the University of San Francisco, who visited the company as part of their Global Immersions educational visit.
ENOC's senior management welcomed the 10 member delegation, and provided them an overview of the various activities of the company. They were also briefed on the oil & gas sector and the energy sector of Dubai, with a special focus on the renewable energy initiatives being undertaken by the Government.
The various aspects of ENOC's businesses, covering environment, health, safety and quality; business development; innovation, retail; and lubricants marketing were shared with the visiting team, followed by an interactive Q&A session.
This is the third time students from the University of San Francisco are visiting ENOC, highlighting the organisation's commitment to support knowledge sharing with the student community from around the world.
ENOC regularly hosts student visits, including from the US, Europe and Singapore, providing a comprehensive overview of the organisation's operations and the role it plays as the force 'behind every successful journey.'

The Stanford University Dean of Research Office, the Stanford University Libraries, the Stanford University School of Engineering, the American Physical Society, and the Stanford Photonics Research Center are sponsoring a forum entitled
Future of Scientific Publishing: Open Access to Manuscripts and Big Data
Here's a brief description from the website:
More information about the forum is available at https://lib.stanford.edu/scipubforum2013. I hope that the presentations1 are made available after the forum so that those of us who aren't able to attend can benefit. That would be in the spirit of openscience, after all.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has directed federal agencies "to develop plans to make the published results of federally funded research freely available to the public within one year of publication... Such results include peer-reviewed publications and digital data." These agencies are required to submit draft plans by August 22, 2013.
Funding agency responses could dramatically change how scientific information is exchanged and archived, as well as how scientific research is performed in the US.
We feel strongly that university faculty should be aware of the preliminary proposals being developed by the funding agencies and their potential impacts on the University research community.
1Or at least summaries of the presentations.

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Colorado (The Center) is deeply troubled by the recent suicides of five gay teens nationally because of suspected bullying and harassment.
The five teens who took their own lives are: Raymond Chase, 19, a student at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island; Tyler Clementi, 18, a Rutgers University student; Seth Walsh, 13, of Tehachapi, California; Billy Lucas, 15, of Greensburg, Indiana; and Asher Brown, 13, of Houston, Texas.
"It's tragic that these young men with so much life ahead of them took their own lives because of anti-gay bullying and harassment. Our hearts go out to their families and friends," said Center Executive Director Carlos Martinez. "These unfortunate events serve as a reminder that all students should be treated with dignity and respect, and that we need to ensure that anti-bullying policies in schools and universities are followed and enforced."
Unfortunately, suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth is nothing new. LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers, according to the Massachusetts 2006 Youth Risk Survey. And for every completed suicide by a young person, it is estimated that 100 to 200 attempts are made, according to the 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey.
In Colorado, 70 percent of more than 300 LGBTQ youth surveyed by The Center in 2010 reported being called names and not feeling safe at their school. Nearly 40 percent reported that they have contemplated suicide.
The good news is that there are many organizations locally providing services and resources for LGBT youth. The Center's Rainbow Alley -- a drop-in center for LGBT and questioning youth ages 12-21, their families and allies -- experienced an average of 600 visits a month in 2009.
Rainbow Alley provides health services, counseling and referral, youth-led events and activities, and life resources in a safe and supportive space.
Also, Rainbow Alley each year hosts Queer Prom so LGBTQ youth have a safe space to celebrate the popular rite of spring. The Alley also hosts Gaybutante -- modeled after the debutante tradition -- where LGBTQ gaybutantes share their inspiring coming-out stories in front of a group of caring and supportive adults. This year's Gaybutante celebration is Saturday, Oct. 9, at 6 p.m. at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel.
In addition, Rainbow Alley staff work closely with high schools' Gay-Straight Alliance organizations and various community service organizations to prevent anti-gay bullying in schools.
Other resources available to Colorado LGBTQ youth include the Colorado Anti-Violence Program, LGBT centers and alliances in Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Grand Junction, the Colorado chapter of The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, the Gender Identity Center of Colorado, OASOS (Open & Affirming Sexual Orientation & gender identity Support) in Boulder; LGBT student centers on college campuses and many others.
The GLBT Community Center of Colorado is the only statewide, nonprofit community center dedicated to empowering and advancing Colorado's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population. It serves as a catalyst for community organizing, support services, social activities and cultural events.

Mission Phase 1
Greetings, new recruits! After extensive preparation, I'm finally living my dream of flying "to infinity and beyond!" We strapped in for the 123rd space shuttle flight and the 26th voyage to the International Space Station. Liftoff was a blast! Seconds before launch we experienced the shaking and rumbling that occurs at main engine ignition. Once the twin rocket boosters fired up, there was extreme activity as we rocketed toward space in the Discovery orbiter. Within two minutes we reached a speed of more than 3,400 mph, and we'll go even faster in order to achieve orbit!
This mind-boggling spacecraft is more than 18 stories tall, weighs more than 4 million pounds, and is carrying more than 8 tons of cargo and over 800,000 gallons of fuel. The Discovery orbiter is named for two famous sailing ships, one sailed by Henry Hudson and the other by James Cook. But this Discovery is destined for the stars, not the water!
Sitting in the pilot seat is astronaut and honorary space ranger, Navy Commander Ken Ham. Commanding the STS-124 mission is Navy Commander Mark Kelly. Together with five other astronauts, we will be delivering the Pressurized Module and robotic arm of the Japanese Experiment Module known as Kibo, which means "Hope." Our mission is the second of three flights that are working toward completing the Kibo laboratory.
Recruits, the success of our mission depends on teamwork, precision and preparation. We can't use hyper-drive to return to Star Command to pick up anything we forgot. It is imperative that we are fully prepared for every possibility.
Try the first game, Load the Shuttle, to test your skills and carry out a payload training assignment! Good luck, cadets!
Load the Shuttle Game
The payload of a space shuttle is unique to each mission. The space shuttle payload bay can consist of payloads that are various shapes, sizes and weight. Supplies, scientific experiments, ISS components, materials and tools needed to make repairs and complete the assigned mission may be a part of a space shuttle payload. The weight of the payload affects the total weight of the space shuttle and must be carefully considered and planned.
1. Imagine it is your job to identify a mission for the space shuttle.
2. What is the purpose of your mission?
3. Identify essential items that you would need to include in a payload to complete the mission and assign each item a reasonable weight. You may have to do some research to determine weight for your payload items.
4. List your payload items with their individual weight.
5. Your part of the mission payload cannot exceed 225 pounds.
6. What is your total payload weight?
7. Did you exceed your payload limit?
8. If you did exceed your payload limit, how would you decide what to leave behind and why?

HolgaVision is a particular sort of vision - soft and blurry with darkened corners, it is the view of a distorted eye. Colours take on a distinctive hue, sometimes brighter, sometimes subtly altered. Perception shifts, consciousness is heightened, the ordinary takes on an extraordinary edge. An acquired taste perhaps, but be warned - once sampled, it can be very addictive.....
Through my camera viewfinder I observe the daily and seasonal nuances which alter our domestic, rural and urban spaces. I usually prefer to take my inspiration from life as it unfolds, seeking to frame the mundane stuff of daily life in unexpected ways and creating fresh perspectives on the everyday. I have a particular interest in photographing the urban landscape, incorporating chance elements and exploring the nature of serendipity, coincidence and connections.The images are then combined into sequences in book form to emphasise the underlying relationships between the apparently random and haphazard, celebrating the accidental and the spontaneous.

LEGO Mindstorms
By user12607856 on Nov 29, 2005
Recently James Gosling has been looking at the BlueJ IDE with his seven year old daughter. I want to get my seven year old son interested in programming but I've taken a different approach.
When Duncan was 3 or 4, we went down to LEGOLAND in Southern California and spent the day there having a fun time. As we were leaving at the end of the day, I bought a set of LEGO Mindstorms, primarily for myself, but I also knew that my son would be interested in playing with some of the things that I'd create with it. That was v1.0 of the LEGO set.
Between then and now, we've done exactly that. Initially I'd create the "robot" and program it and he'd play with it. As he got older, he could follow the steps in the Constructopedia and build the models and I'd just do the programming.
A couple years ago, as part of a mentoring project here at Sun, I even built my own infrared sensor to go with the Mindstorms kit. I've also recently bought a rotation sensor and v2.0 of the Mindstorms CDROM.
Over the Thanksgiving break (the Friday after to be exact), Duncan wanted to build another Mindstorms creation. I'd recently bought a copy of the Robotics Invasion book, so we decided to build the first project in there; a cargo pushing bot. We successfully built the vehicle. We also created the special track out of foam and construction paper. It was now time to program it.
By that time, I had something else I wanted to do so I suggested that we should return to the project the next day, but if Duncan wanted to continue with the LEGO Mindstorms that day, he should fire up their CDROM, and have a go at the training missions instead. These show you such things as how to download your code to the RCX brick, how to setup motors and sensors and how to program them. All the things that I'd always done for us upto now. They also have a programming environment that's very visual. The construction of the programs for the RCX is very much like playing with LEGO, where you plug the bricks together to achieve the desired effect.
I fully expected Duncan to get stuck pretty quickly and come looking for me to help him out. Alternatively, I expected him to get fedup because it was too hard and wander off and do something else. Neither of these things happened. The training missions enthralled him for 2-3 hours. By the time he's finished them, he'd even got to the point where he'd constructed his own "My Blocks" (the equivalent of a subroutine) and worked out how to plug them into his program.
I was quite amazed. More for how good a job Lego had now done to make this interesting and intuitive. I'd played with the graphical programming environment with v1.0 and I could now see that they've really improved it with v2.0. It's something that young kids can pick up and easily learn. Of course, experienced programmers are probably going to program their bots with one of the other programming languages such as NQC or Java.
We never did get around to programming the cargo bot. Duncan had taken it apart in order to complete some of the training missions. He's now going to try the various challenges that the CDROM provides.
While I was googling around for Lego Mindstorms and Robototics websites that might have interesting projects we could do in the future, I came across these three links that others might find useful [1] [2] [3].
Anyway, because he's really got into this, we are planning to buy him his own set of LEGO Mindstorms for Christmas. He said it's what he wants. He suggested that we just ask Santa to get it for him, then we wouldn't have to pay for it ourselves. Ahh, right. Why didn't I think of that?

The Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry presented white coats to 185 DDS, International Dental Studies and Dental Hygiene students during the school's 11th annual White Coat Ceremony at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre in San Francisco on July 19. More than 950 guests attended the event, which is intended to mark the beginning of the students' clinical experience and to emphasize their role as health care providers.
Dr. Brian E. Scott, president of the California Dental Association, Dean Patrick J. Ferrillo, Jr., faculty member Dr. Bruce Peltier and Dr. Darryl Lee '77, president of the Alumni Association, all delivered encouraging remarks to guide the students through their clinical experience.
Following the remarks, each student received a personalized white coat and was presented with a pin, both courtesy of the Alumni Association. Dr. Richard Fredekind, associate dean for clinical services, led students in the recitation of the professional oath.
"The White Coat Ceremony was irreplaceable and unforgettable," said Kaci Sims, Class of 2010. "These milestones help us push forward to the next few years of learning and growth."

We add our ripple to the growing sea of unrest.
It's likely you don't need us to run down all the gruesome details of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) bills at this point, both have received unprecedented attention from the Internet community at large. Yet we're going to anyway in convenient bullet point form, because this is more important than anything we've ever discussed here. It's not exaggeration to say that the future of the Internet is at stake here, as the passage of either bill will have a devastating impact on the Internet as you know it today. Among other things, these bills will:
- Give the power of censorship to the US Government (and copyright owners) by allowing it to impose DNS blocking, search engine takedowns, and more on any site merely accused or suspected of piracy.
- Give the US Attorney General the ability (with a court order) to seize any website without due process or a chance for the owner to defend himself, even if that site has merely been accused of infringing on copyright.
- Order ISPs, ad companies and payment processors to block any accused websites (good luck with that, PayPal).
- Allow the imposing of fines or jail time on web users for posting derivatives of copyright works (ex: machinima)
- Make websites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Wikipedia liable for user contributions (in effect killing such contributions).
- Stifle innovation that would've otherwise come from companies suddenly too paralyzed with fear of takedown to take risks.
- Promote "self-censorship" of sites simply so they avoid being targeted for takedown, stifling free speech as we know it.
We here at VGGEN have already transferred our domains away from GoDaddy, a "former" supporter of SOPA and the only major Internet-based company to ever officially support the bill (GoDaddy eventually issued a weak reversal after thousands of other domain owners also moved their domains). But we feel that action alone is not enough. Therefore, we plan to show solidarity with Reddit, Destructoid and others across the Good Ol' WWW by also participating in SOPA Blackout Day on January 18th. This date is significant, because it also coincides with a House oversight hearing on the measures led by California Republican Darrell Issa, and we can't think of a better time to join in on the protest.

That would be a monster trade and I think all teams would get something out of it. Has there ever been a trade in NBA history involving that many player and that many teams?
Knicks trade - Allan Houston, Kurt Thomas, Shandon Anderson, Moochie Norris
Knicks receive - Wally Szcerbiak, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Ruben Patterson
Nets trade - Jason Kidd, Aaron Williams
Nets receive - Sam Cassell, Ervin Johnson, Kurt Thomas, Moochie Norris
Trail Blazers trade - Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Ruben Patterson
Trail Blazers receive - Allan Houston, Aaron Williams
Wolves trade - Sam Cassell, Wally Szcerbiak, Ervin Johnson
Wolves receive - Jason Kidd, Shandon Anderson
That would be a monster trade and I think all teams would get something out of it. Has there ever been a trade in NBA history involving that many player and that many teams?
I think the nets are getting a raw deal there. If there going to trade kidd i would have to imagine it would be for some young talent, not a broken down point guard and a bunch of role players. However, i thought the trade sounded pretty good otherwise. Did you check if it works under the salary cap?
If that happens you're genious man!
It's would be a great deal for both NY teams though we'll be in a better situation.
Well it's a good trade on most fronts as each team gives up and recieves back nearly equal tallent - when salary is factored into the equation.
However two major flaws make it unrealistic in my opinion.
1} The TBers would not take Allan from us for a few major reasons. The salary hit is too much, with all the salary they are shedding this next summer. They could make a run for Ray Allen or others with the cap relief they will aquire after players like SAR, Stoudamire, Ratliff etc all expire this year. I don't see them taking this hit just to dump Patterson. I do agree that Houston would help them and so would Williams but I don't think they take his salary. I'd see them take Artest, Allen, Carter or Peja for the cash before they take Houston.
2} The T Wolves take on too much risk for too little reward, IMO. Kidd is the best PG in the NBA when healthy. True. Wally's contract sucks. True. However both contracts of Kidd and SHandon kill the Wolves. Shandon is useless with Hassell there as Hassell is a much beter player at both ends and has just been resigned. Add Spree's D to the equation and Shandon is double useless. I thin they'd rather keep Wally than add Shandon.
Beyond that only one more problem.
All teams can get this done without the Knicks involvement. The TBers drop out too for the reasons I said above and you baciacally have a Kidd and Williams for Cassell and johnson trade. Better for both teams. IMO.
But if it did happen I'd be thrilled. It's a great trade for the Knicks especially.
Absolutely Terrible all of itOriginally Posted by edsonline
Yeah, but it would be a great thing for us if that could ever happen
i thought that the nets wanted abdur-rahim really bad? yeah if this trade really happend i'd be stoked. maybe the knicks could brew something up with chi-town, i heard curry is on the bad end of the stick there...?
That trade is nearly fair! Great job thinking of it!
Maybe if BOTH kidd and h20 come back and show they're pretty healthy, the deal has a chance...
I notice that if you are on different forums you see the main team for that forum site that your on, that team always gets more then anyone in the trade "idea" that people propose. so in this case ny gets rid of their bloated contracts and scrubs while they get shareef, wally, and ruben patterson...
they get some potential for scrubs? anyone else think this is not fair?
Just a thought: how about creating a new board for this stuff called "Trade ideas"...

New Foreclosures Decline Citywide
After home prices across New York City posted a rebound in the third quarter, there was more encouraging news Monday as new data showed the number of new foreclosure auctions in the quarter dropped 28% from a year earlier.
And compared with this year's second quarter, new foreclosure activity dropped by 1% citywide, according to the data released by real-estate data website Propertyshark.com.
New foreclosure activity could further decline in the next few months as banks and mortgage servicers begin to halt foreclosures because of concerns of faulty paperwork and procedures, says Property Shark director Brian Scully. Monday's data don't reflect the recent foreclosure moratorium that state attorneys general have called for in recent weeks.
Nationwide, foreclosure auctions were scheduled for the first time on 372,445 properties during the latest quarter, up 4% from the third quarter of last year, reaching the highest quarterly total since foreclosure listing website RealtyTrac.com began collecting the data in 2006.
Even in the hardest-hit borough of Queens, which saw 387 new scheduled foreclosure auctions in the latest quarter, the number of new auctions seems to have hit a plateau: New foreclosure auctions dropped by 31% during the quarter compared with a year earlier and by nearly half from the 2008 third quarter. Queens still made up 59% of the city's foreclosures.
There was a relatively meager number of new foreclosure actions in Manhattan, where there is a prevalence of co-op apartments with more stringent borrowing standards.

The role of the judge in criminal proceedings is a multifaceted one that is subject constantly to new demands and challenges. In recent times,for example, judges have been accorded greater responsibility for case management in advance of trial, adaptations to the rules of evidence have enhanced the scope for discretionary decision-making, while legislative developments in the sentencing field have forced a reevaluation of the judge's role in sentencing offenders. In the near future, the judicial role in this jurisdiction will take on a new dimension when the Human Rights Act is implemented. This collection of essays includes contributions on the above themes and beyond, including the issues of plea bargaining, judges in emergency situations, judges and media concerns, victims in the criminal process and magistrates' justice. The collection is comparative and international in scope and includes contributions from leading scholars in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. Authors include Judge Jack B. Weinstein, Andrew Ashworth, Mike McConville, and Justice Albie Sachs.

Looks can be deceiving ... supposed showdown turns out to be a mutual admiration society. Photo: Getty
So what did Adele say to Chris Brown?
After a photograph of the two singers facing off at the Grammy Awards went viral with suggestions of a confrontation, the Brit superstar has taken to Twitter to bat down rumours of a spat between her and Brown.
It turns out instead of it being a dressing down - as it was widely reported to be - it was more along the lines of "I love your work".
Grammys gatecrasher attempts to intercept Adele's winning moment. Photo: Getty
According to Adele, rather than rebuking Brown for not giving his fellow nominee Frank Ocean a standing ovation, instead she tweets that she was actually making nice with the controversial singer.
"Chris Brown and I were complimenting each other in that photo actually!" Adele tweeted.
One suspects many fans of Adele, and many fans of her supposed confrontation, will be disappointed with the news.
Chris Brown and I were complimenting each other in that photo actually!— Adele (@OfficialAdele) February 13, 2013
However all is not lost. For those still seeking a female Grammy hero, they can now set their sights on Jennifer Lopez.
When presenting Adele with the award for best solo performance, JLo reportedly brushed a wannabe prankster out of the way after he rushed the stage to take the microphone.
The Grammys gatecrasher, an Ukrainian journalist named Vitalii Sediuk, has since been arrested for the interference.
One can't help but wonder what would have happened if JLo had confronted Chris Brown instead.

Scheuten Solar next company to file for insolvency01. March 2012 | Industry & Suppliers, Markets & Trends | By: Becky Stuart
Scheuten Solar filed for insolvency yesterday. The move was attributed to the "dramatic" oversupply of photovoltaic modules, which led to price declines, tighter margins and, for Scheuten, an inability to pay its creditors.
On February 29, Germany's District Court of Essen appointed Steffen Reusch from law firm, dnp Depping, provisional administrator for Scheuten Solar Production Facilities GmbH, Scheuten Solar Cells GmbH and Scheuten Solar Technology GmbH. Meanwhile, Bernd Depping also from dnp Depping has been appointed provisional administrator of Scheuten Solar Holding Germany GmbH.
By the end of May 2012, at the latest, the provisional liquidators, together with Scheuten's management, aim to have clarified the competitiveness and restructuring options for the photovoltaic group, which has been operating for over a decade in the solar industry.
"We are taking care to present the preliminary insolvency payments for the 233 employees in Germany, hold initial discussions with customers and suppliers in order to stabilize the business," commented Reusch. "Then we will analyze the team, to see whether and how we can restructure the company with the tools of the Bankruptcy Act."
Depping added, "We must first explore the medium and long term prospects of the companies in a market that is known to be characterized by significant overcapacity in Europe and striking declines in prices. We will coordinate our efforts with the Dutch parent company."
In a statement published on Scheuten Solar's website, the company explained, "Dramatic oversupply of standard PV modules in the European market during the last 12 to 18 months has led to a price fall of more than 50 percent. As a result, margins have been under tremendous pressure for a prolonged period.
"Due to this market situation, and the large negative financial impact of several onerous supply contracts in its portfolio, Scheuten Solar's financial situation has weakened despite continuous cost reduction measures. From the middle of last year, the company has made serious efforts to attract investments from another PV company to live through this very difficult period in the industry. Unfortunately in the end, these negotiations did not succeed.
"Because of all these unfortunate developments, Scheuten Solar is now entering into a situation where it can no longer serve its creditors. As a consequence, Scheuten Solar filed today for suspension of payment for certain solar entities.
"The activities of Scheuten Glass are completely separate and will therefore continue unaffected."
Scheuten Solar is part of the international Scheuten Group, which employees over 2,000 people.

(Communicated by the MFA Spokesperson)
Israel attaches great importance to this year's Earth Summit, RIO+20, to take place in Rio de Janeiro on 20-22 June. The unprecedented scope of the Israeli delegation signifies the importance Israel assigns to promoting sustainable development in Israel and in the international arena.
Israel is well known in the world for its expertise and vast knowledge in the field of sustainability, in topics such as water, agriculture, food production, forestation, desertification and others. These are some of the topics that will be discussed at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, to be held in Rio de Janeiro on 20-22 June 2012. About 130 world leaders and about 50,000 people are expected to attend from around the globe.
Israel's Minister of Environmental Protection, Gilad Erdan, will lead a large professional Israeli delegation to the UN conference, also known as Rio+20. The delegation will be composed of delegates from government ministries, the Knesset, local authorities, the business community, academia and civil society. Minister Erdan is scheduled to speak at the conference plenum. The Ministry of Environmental Protection is responsible for the subject of sustainability in Israel
The main topic of the conference will be building a "green economy" for the eradication of poverty in developing countries, with an emphasis on energy, water, food, cities, green employment, the oceans and disasters. The conference will also address how to prepare for the era after 2015, the target year for the UN's millennium goals, and how to make the subject of sustainable development an integral part of the international system.
The Israeli pavilion will showcase Israel's achievements in green technology, promotion of sustainability in Israel and Israeli foreign aid. This week, for instance, Israeli Prof. Daniel Hillel won the 2012 World Food prize for his work in developing the micro-irrigation system, thus contributing to food security. Israel shares its expertise with the world in the framework of foreign aid (through MASHAV, Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation), its economic and professional relations with other states and its activities in the international arena.
For example, the UN General Assembly adopted an Israeli proposal for a resolution in the field of "agricultural development technologies" to provide a solution to global challenges arising from poverty and the food crisis. Furthermore, last year Israel hosted an international preparatory meeting ahead of the conference that addressed green agriculture and sustainable development to eradicate poverty and hunger in the world. Delegates from 28 countries attended.
UN Under secretary Sha Zukang, who visited Israel during this meeting, noted in his speech and at meetings with Israeli leaders Israel's contribution to the world in these areas and asked that Israel participate in the Rio conference and share its experience and expertise.
Two Israeli side events will take place in Rio: one on the subject of environmental agriculture and the eradication of poverty; and the other on solutions for municipal water systems. Israel's Jewish National Fund (JNF-KKL) will manage a study center on forestation and water, and Israeli experts will participate in international panels.
An interministerial professional steering committee was set up by the Ministry of Environmental Protection to coordinate Israel's preparations for the conference.
