Though Cisco (CSCO) has thus far avoided competing with the likes of Ericsson (ERIC) and Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) in the 4G LTE base station market, the networking giant says it's working on a "small cell" LTE product, and will have a proof-of-concept device out in 6 months. It's added Cisco wants to eventually sell a "converged" solution that will support 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi, and could be offered to both enterprises and service providers. ALU has an early lead in the small cell market.

I do a lot of research on stocks I buy and anything I list I buy before I list so feel free to do the same. I'm disabled by a Associate Professor's/MD who call's himself a neuro urologist whose missed diagnosis of my condition and a twenty minute procedure left me bedridden for 10 years so far with intense pain. I did not sue. I have a lot of time on my hands and I've read a lot about ALU for many years and it's way ahead of their competitors with their NJ Think Tank of engineers who are brilliant and come up with revolutionary solutions to tomorrows problems. At times to they are too far ahead of themselves and the common engineer who also works at these companies in bulk don't get it until at times it's too late. That's why I believe a company like CISCO should buy them out since they will never have the amount of high brain powered think tank as MA BELL had in NJ that ALU has now 29,000 to 30,000 patents? Does anyone know or understand what goes into these patents the amount of money and work advanced thinking with no prior art? These guys are the worlds best once they get the green light to address any problem or develop anything for the future of telecoms.
That's why Alcatel Lucent is a better stronger company (just short of cash and better management) that makes this penny stock a 35 to 50 dollar stock in the future whether it's by orders and building it back up (long term) or the buy out the quick fix and the least expensive way for Cisco to gain back all the ground it's lost and will turn into another Nortel not ALU!!! Good Day, Seahands
I am an owner of several businesses and own 7 patents to date. I have very good personnel who run the businesses for me and I'm proud to say we have the world's best technology in the area of business we're in.
A technology all other companies refer to as black magic when there's a problem we have this technology down to a science and the others can keep the black magic when things go wrong. We plug in a test module PC that runs through out our systems and it tells us if it's the operational error made on how the company is using the system or if in fact there's a fault in our system, where it is,
what it is, whether or not it's a cold soder joint or if it's a defective part for replacement. This is our state of the art. Non of our competitor build this technology unless it's by special request for a license which pays a royalty on our technology and then they usually need our experts to help guide them through the trouble spot if any or that the designers didn't understand how to place the systems controls or integrate them properly into a completed system. If a part is defective it tells us immediately and it's replaced the same. Our systems are modular by design and can be upgraded or downgraded by 15 to 20 minute change overs. In addition to this we can take older prior automation systems with old or obsolete main Power supplies upgrade the automation in place of throwing out a good piece of automation with old or obsolete components that deliver the power they need. Most of what we build is also interchangeable. Most of what we build is easier to validate since it gives you real exact power outputs and real, not approximate readouts which is revolutionary to our industry. I am very close to having an additional shareholder who as far as I'm concerned is already a shareholder. What our company has done is unbelievable in that I must stop here for now. What a great technology!

Anyone know how long the free trial is? And what's that website again - that you can get cheap yearly memberships? Any info would be great. Thanks. =)

Abdul-Mubdi Muhammad makes his new job sound so simple.
"What I've been charged to do," he said, "is clean up."
The only catch? The cleanup job is running Bartram High, a school so troubled that it took the attention of a city and a host of helpers to calm things after a staff member was knocked unconscious by a student in March.
But the confident and cerebral Muhammad - a 35-year-old former Philadelphia School District math teacher and charter school assistant principal - is undaunted.
"This is perfect - just where I want to be," Muhammad said of the 1,000-student school at 67th Street and Elmwood Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia. "I fit in here."

Playwright: Ron Hutchinson
Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic film adaptation of Gone with the Wind. The screenplay is awful, and the director doesn't have a clue. So what's an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film's stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick summons famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and Wizard of Oz director Victor Fleming. He locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.Tickets and info: cloverdaleperformingarts.com

Ruble Erases Gains Against Dollar on Euro Concern; Bonds Rise
The ruble erased gains, depreciating for a fourth day against the dollar as Spanish bond yields surged, a sign the European debt crisis may be deepening.
The Russian currency lost 0.2 percent to 32.1015 per dollar by the close in Moscow, after earlier rising as much as 0.8 percent. The country's $3.5 billion of Eurobonds due 2020 rose, sending the yield eight basis points, or 0.08 percentage point, lower to 3.978 percent.
Yields on 10-year Spanish bonds rose to the highest level relative to benchmark German bunds since the euro was created, spurring bets the region's debt crisis may be spreading away from Greece. The European Union is Russia's largest trading partner.
The ruble weakened 0.6 percent to 40.28 per euro and 0.4 percent to 35.7818 against the central bank's target dollar-euro basket. Investors increased bets on the ruble weakening, with non-deliverable forwards showing the Russian currency at 32.6053 per dollar in three months, compared with expectations of 32.5365 per dollar on May 25.
The cost of insuring Russian debt against nonpayment over five years with credit default swaps fell one basis point to 250 basis points, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The ruble has depreciated 8.4 percent against the dollar since the end of April, heading for the biggest monthly loss since September. Over the same period Brazil's real fell 3.6 percent, India's rupee lost 4.4 percent and China's yuan weakened 1 percent, the data show.

3 Items Found
- Ken Wright Pinot Noir Abbott Claim Vyd 2014 Product #30000 (In Stock)
For 2012: WE 97 points and Wine Of The Year/WS NR
A vineyard that I've underestimated in the past but that has given Ken some his most exciting wines over the past few vintages. Ken owns and farms this marine sedimentary site with loving care. It's not far from Savoya and Shea, but it often packs in even more power and punch than its more famous neighbors. And, it handles heat well – when I visited during the very hot, very dry, summer of 2015, the vines here were verdant, healthy, and showed absolutely no signs of heat or water stress.
The vineyard is planted to a mixture of Pommard and Dijon clone that push through about 30 inches of sedimentary soils before hitting mother rock of fractured sandstone and siltstone. Both the clones and the soils incline Abbott Claim towards a distinctive spice and floral focus, and in 2014 it's showing lovely red fruit and floral notes on top with minerality underneath. Pretty, pretty, wine.
- Ken Wright Pinot Noir Bryce Vyd 2014 Product #30001 (In Stock)
For 2012: WE 93 points/WS 89 points
Ok, I'm taking a flyer here as it's just Ken's second vintage for Bryce and I've never actually tasted the wine. BUT I'm coming to believe that Ribbon Ridge could just be the most exciting AVA in the Willamette Valley and Ken seemed very optimistic about the 2014 when we chatted a few weeks ago. The sedimentary Willakenzie soils give floral and spice accents to the red fruit common in Ribbon Ridge wines, and help provide extra lift and juicy freshness in warm vintages. It's fairly limited, so if you're tempted, jump quickly here.
- Ken Wright Pinot Noir Shea Vyd 2014 Magnum (1.5l) Product #30080 (In Stock)
Ken's signature wine and, arguably, Willamette Valley's signature vineyard. Wine Advocate has suggested that Shea is the Willamette Valley's one potential "superstar" vineyard and Ken makes the benchmark wine from this famous site. Ken uses fruit from three different blocks in the vineyard, two planted to Dijon 114 and one to Dijon 777 clones. Shea always gives black/red fruit - especially blueberry - but with more spice and earth than other Yamhill-Carlton wines. Always a fine marriage of ripe fruit and juicy, fresh, texture, this usually wants a few years in cellar to show its best. Ken pretty much made the reputation of this vineyard, and it's always one of his most powerful, concentrated, wines.

- Events
"Doin' It In The Park: Pick-Up Basketball, NYC" is an independent documentary directed by Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau. The film explores the history, culture, and social impact of New York's summer b-ball scene, widely recognized as the worldwide "Mecca" of the sport.
In New York City, pick-up basketball is not just a sport. It is a way of life. There are 700+ outdoor courts, and an estimated 500,000 players, the most loyal of which approach the game as a religion, and the playground as their church.
'You can play high school or college for four years. You can play Pro for a decade. You can play pick-up … for life.'
"Doin' It In The Park" lovingly uncovers this movement through the voices of playground legends, NBA athletes, and most importantly the common ballplayer who all day looks forward to calling "next" game at their local schoolyard.

Comments Thread For: Happy Screw Year: Usmanee Gets Jobbed in Miami
30-year old Afghan Arash Usmanee (20-1, 10 KO) of Montreal, Quebec, Canada did more than enough to take the undefeated mark and sanctioning body rating of 26-year old Cuban Rances Barthelemy (18-0, 11 KO) of Miami, Florida, on Friday night at the Magic City Casino in Miami, Florida. The judges decided otherwise, giving Barthelemy unanimous decision after twelve rounds and giving fight fans a reminder that while it may be a new year, its still the same old sport.

It was a disgrace, Usmanee had Bart Simpson ready to go about 5 times. I had it 8 rounds to 4 or Usmanee but Bart knew beore they announced the decision that he was going to win, payoff at its finest.

Little man Big heart is the definition of Usanmee. I don't think boxing will ever progress with robberies like these esp on national tv.I had it 8-4 rounds for Usanmee.The Cuban simply got tired and wasn't throwing **** as he stayed mummed in fatigue for almost the whole half of the fight. Great respect to the challenger as he proved what it's like not to give up and attempt to sway a clear cut win IMO.The fights reminds me of Laras/Molina all over again.

The main distinguishing feature of our two-year programme is the professional training component (which cannot normally be offered by the standard technically-focused one year MSc) with the potential of gaining experience from working in industry.
The Electronic Engineering (Euromasters) MSc mirrors the two-year Masters programme structure that is common in the USA, and is an ideal stepping stone to a PhD.
Our MSc Euromasters programmes are designed for electronic engineering students and professionals with an interest in gaining further qualifications in advanced, cutting-edge techniques and technologies in the selected pathway, with enhanced project, as well as training in transferable skills including business awareness and management. Some industrial placements will be available.
Here is a list of Electronic Engineering (Euromasters) MScs offered:
Please note that at applicant stage, it is necessary to apply for the Electronic Engineering (Euromasters). If you wish to specialise in one of the above pathways, you can adjust your Euromaster programme accordingly on starting the course.
The advanced taught technical content, which is identical to the corresponding standard one-year MSc programmes, is in sub-disciplines of electronic engineering closely aligned with the internationally-leading research conducted in the four research centres of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The main distinguishing feature of this two-year programme is the professional training component (which cannot normally be offered by the standard technically-focused one year MSc) with the potential of gaining experience from working in industry.
The MSc Euromasters complies with the structure defined by the Bologna Agreement, and thus it is in harmony with the Masters programme formats adhered to in European universities. Consequently, it facilitates student exchanges with our partner universities in the Erasmus Exchange programme. A number of bilateral partnerships exist with partner institutions at which students can undertake their project. Current partnerships held by the Department include the following:
The MSc Euromasters format is assembled from existing programmes and modules. Year 1 of the programme consists of eight taught modules subject to the validated patterns of study for the standard MSc format, totalling 120 credits. Year 2 is constituted by two Engineering Professional Studies (EPS) modules (30 credits) plus a 90 credit project. There is the option of taking the first semester EPS module in Year 2 with a 3-6 months placement in industry. The Department will use its contacts with industry to help students to find suitable placements.
Standard MSc programmes taught modules within the validated patterns of study. The programme of study in Year 1 finishes in June.
There are two possible programme structures for Year 2.
Engineering Professional Studies 1
Engineering Professional Studies 1 with Industrial Placement
Engineering Professional Studies 2
90 Credit Project
Autumn / Spring or Spring / Summer
The above are compulsory modules on the Euromasters MSc. In addition, all modules listed for other specialist pathways are available on the Euromaster course, although options are subject to timetabling constraints.
Part-time students may register for up to 120 credits but not less than 30 credits per year. Students unable to undertake the 90 credit project due to constraints at work may take a 30 credit project. The second, 60 credit component, can be based on the submission of project-type material related to their employment.

Albany's city manager is getting a $15,000 dollar raise.
Commissioners voted unanimously for the raise and ten more days of vacation time.
With the raise, James Taylor will take home about $150,000 a year.
Albany Mayor Dorothy Hubbard says, in any other city, it would be impossible to keep a city manager for that amount.
She says Taylor has helped the county tremendously and of course they have to pay in order to keep him.

Labor board sides with PLU faculty in unionization push
Disclosure: Pacific Lutheran University holds the license for KPLU. The station's on-air staffers form the university's only unionized unit.
In a decision with national implications, labor relations officials have ruled that certain faculty at Pacific Lutheran University should be allowed to form a union. This case is a test of some new provisions in labor law, and is being followed by other universities around the country.
It centers on so-called contingent faculty at PLU, the fill-in or adjunct instructors who teach a third of the university's credit hours.
The faculty members say they're underpaid and have no job security, and they want to vote on whether to form a union. Administrators have fought that effort, saying, among other things, the university is a religious institution and therefore lies outside the National Labor Relations Board's jurisdiction.
Now the NLRB's northwest region has finally weighed in, and they're siding with the faculty.
"PLU contingent faculty are on the edge of the curve here," said Senior Lecturer Jane Harty of the music department. "This is a national debate about what to do about beleaguered adjunct contingent faculty who are paid very poorly. This is a way to make progress for our profession and actually to save it."
How religious are you?
One of the major legal questions has to do with what qualifies an employer as a religious institution. In this case, the NLRB found that PLU does not qualify because there are no religious requirements for students or faculty and no mention of religion in the mission statement, among other things.
Legal challenges have called into question whether the Board can weigh those factors. That's likely to be one major basis for the university's appeal, which PLU spokeswoman Edie Disler said is in the works.
"To us it's kind of hard to say that you are not a religiously affiliated institution when you're actually owned by the Lutheran church," Disler said.
More legal questions
Meanwhile, Disler said PLU will help facilitate the union vote, which could come as early as this fall. The NLRB in Washington, D.C. could still order the university to delay the election or the vote counting.
And even the Board's final decision may not actually be final. The Board itself is under a legal cloud, regarding whether its members were properly appointed. That question is likely to be decided by the U. S. Supreme Court.

If you want to drive abroad for a few days or weeks a short term car insurance policy can be an affordable way of getting the cover you need.
A short term European policy could be a good option if:
You will share driving someone else's car on holiday
You are borrowing a car to take abroad
You want to use a car overseas that had been declared off the road in the UK with a Statuary Off Road Notification (SORN)
Can you use your existing car insurance policy to drive in Europe?
Yes, you do not need to get a separate temporary policy to drive in Europe if your car is already insured.
Every UK car insurance policy will provide at least third party cover to drive in other European Union (EU) countries.
This guide explains exactly what cover you need to drive abroad.
Get the right length of cover
When you get a quote you will need to choose how many days you will need your policy for.
To get the cheapest cover, try not to take out a policy for longer than you need to. It is calculated per day so you could end up paying more than you have to.
If you are going on holiday, think about:
How many days you will be away for
How long will you need the car before and after the trip
For example: If you are staying in France for seven days, but plan to drive to and from your destination which will take one day each way, you will need nine days of cover.
Our table shows the length of cover each insurer offers; usually between 1 and 28 days. If you need longer than this consider an annual car insurance policy with European cover.
Can you upgrade your cover?
Yes, all polices offer basic third party level cover, but some insurers give you the option of extending it to comprehensive cover.
However, not all offer this so use our comparison to find the insurers that can upgrade your policy.
Short term European car insurance FAQs
Will short term insurance cover me to drive in Europe?
Yes, all car insurance policies give you third party cover to drive in Europe. You can usually extend your cover; find out how to add European cover here.
What European countries are covered?
All European Union (EU) countries and other destinations like Andorra and Switzerland. The policy documents will outline which countries are included.
How long does short term European cover last?
Most insurers offer policy terms of between 1 and 28 days, but some will cover you for longer.
Is the excess higher on short term European policies than standard policies?
Yes it can be, especially if you are a younger driver. Some insurers will set an excess of as much as £1,000 for short term cover.
Will I have breakdown cover in Europe?
No, only if you have added European breakdown cover to your policy, or taken out a standalone European breakdown policy.
Do I need a Green Card to drive in Europe?
No, most countries do not require you to have a Green Card. However, you will need a Green Card in Belarus, Russia, Turkey and Morocco.

Don't roll back child nutrition standards
"You are what you eat." This phrase is both literally and figuratively true, and it's something I frequently remind young children and their families of when discussing proper nutrition with them. However, as a primary care pediatrician working with underserved families who are besieged by adversity, I recognize that citing a simple adage is nothing when the path to good nutrition seems unattainable.
It is only through strong, scientifically grounded programs such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (commonly known as WIC) and the updated nutrition standards present in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs that children and families have a fighting chance.
The science of epigenetics tells us how genes can be "turned on or off" by environmental factors; one of these influences is nutritional status. By creating a milieu filled with stressors, we activate short-term adversity response systems (which are maladaptive in the long term) and turn off our genetic potential to cope with adversity over the long haul.
There is even scientific evidence that this may reverberate two generations down the line, implying that our policies today may affect individuals and their offspring for years to come. Whether or not children are well-nourished during their first years of life can have a profound effect on their health as well as their ability to learn, communicate, think analytically, socialize effectively and adapt to new environments and people.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the highly successful WIC program, which currently serves more than half of all infants born in the United States. One of the key reasons behind WIC's success is the food package is science-based, coming from recommendations from the Institute of Medicine and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It is designed to supplement and enhance the diets of women and young children, providing only foods that tend to be missing from their diets.
Accordingly, we need to remain on the side of sound scientific recommendations and reject any effort to introduce language or policy riders to the 2015 Agricultural Appropriations Bill that alter the WIC food packages. The alterations being sought by the potato industry or any other food industry group jeopardize WIC's 40-year history of effectiveness. Nutritional policy made via influence and favor is poor policy. Our children deserve better.
Looking at older children, maintaining a healthy, age-appropriate diet is one way students can protect themselves against unhealthy weight gain and serious long-term health effects that come with it. Since children typically consume up to half of their daily calories in school, it is critical that all foods and beverages sold in schools are healthy for kids.
Accordingly, Congress must stand strong against any effort to roll back the nutrition standards in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. Because of these standards, passed in 2010 as part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, children are eating more fruits and vegetables, most schools are successfully meeting the standards, school lunch revenue is up and food waste has not increased in schools.
I strongly urge our Wisconsin congressional representatives to support Rep. Sam Farr's amendment to the agriculture bill in front of the House; the amendment would undo the harmful efforts to scale back the nutrition standards for school meals.
Last week, I spoke at a conference that highlighted the importance of good nutrition for families in need and worked directly with clients to help build their capacities and capabilities to provide healthy meals for their families. Without programs like the ones I discuss above, this type of work becomes that much more difficult for families.
The work of combating obesity, hunger and scarcity is overwhelming for health care providers, public health officials and families alike. Let's not add poor public policy to that burden. Protect standards. Protect scientific integrity. Protect young brains and bodies.

Dual graph
In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, the dual graph of a plane graph G is a graph that has a vertex for each face of G. The dual graph has an edge whenever two faces of G are separated from each other by an edge. Thus, each edge e of G has a corresponding dual edge, the edge that connects the two faces on either side of e. The definition of the dual depends on the choice of embedding of the graph G, so it is a property of plane graphs (graphs that are already embedded in the plane) rather than planar graphs (graphs that may be embedded but for which the embedding is not yet known).
Graph duality is a topological generalization of the geometric concepts of dual polyhedra and dual tessellations, and is in turn generalized algebraically by the concept of a dual matroid. Variations of planar graph duality include a version of duality for directed graphs, and duality for graphs embedded onto non-planar two-dimensional surfaces. However, this notion of a dual graph should not be confused with a different notion, the edge-to-vertex dual or line graph of a graph.
The term "dual" is used because this property is symmetric, meaning that if H is a dual of G, then G is a dual of H (if G is connected). When discussing the dual of a graph G, the graph G itself may be referred to as the "primal graph". Many other graph properties and structures may be translated into other natural properties and structures of the dual. For instance, cycles are dual to cuts, spanning trees are dual to the complements of spanning trees, and simple graphs (without parallel edges or self-loops) are dual to 3-edge-connected graphs. Polyhedral graphs, and some other planar graphs, have unique dual graphs. However, for planar graphs more generally, there may be multiple dual graphs, depending on the choice of planar embedding of the graph.

Cycles and dipoles[edit]
The unique planar embedding of a cycle graph divides the plane into only two regions, the inside and outside of the cycle, by the Jordan curve theorem. However, in an n-cycle, these two regions are separated from each other by n different edges. Therefore, the dual graph of the n-cycle is a multigraph with two vertices (dual to the regions), connected to each other by n dual edges. Such a graph is called a dipole graph. Conversely, the dual to an n-edge dipole graph is an n-cycle.[1]
Dual polyhedra[edit]
The dual polyhedron of a given convex polyhedron has a vertex for every face of the original polyhedron, with two dual vertices adjacent whenever the corresponding two faces share an edge. Whenever two polyhedra are dual, their graphs (formed by their vertices and edges, ignoring the faces) are also dual. For instance the Platonic solids come in dual pairs, with the octahedron dual to the cube, the dodecahedron dual to the icosahedron, and the tetrahedron dual to itself.[2] Polyhedron duality can also be extended to duality of higher dimensional polytopes,[3] but this extension of geometric duality does not have clear connections to graph-theoretic duality.
Self-dual graphs[edit]
A plane graph is said to be self-dual if it is isomorphic to its dual graph. The wheel graphs provide an infinite family of self-dual graphs coming from self-dual polyhedra (the pyramids).[4][5] However, there also exist self-dual graphs that are not polyhedral, such as the one shown. Servatius & Christopher (1992) describe two operations, adhesion and explosion, that can be used to construct a self-dual graph containing a given planar graph; for instance, the self-dual graph shown can be constructed as the adhesion of a tetrahedron with its dual.[5]
It follows from Euler's formula that every self-dual graph with n vertices has exactly 2n − 2 edges.[6] Every simple self-dual planar graph contains at least four vertices of degree three, and every self-dual embedding has at least four triangular faces.[7]
Many natural and important concepts in graph theory correspond to other equally natural but different concepts in the dual graph. Because the dual of the dual of a connected plane graph is isomorphic to the primal graph, each of these pairings is bidirectional: if concept X in a planar graph corresponds to concept Y in the dual graph, then concept Y in a planar graph corresponds to concept X in the dual.
Simple graphs versus multigraphs[edit]
The dual of a simple graph need not be simple: it may have self-loops (an edge with both endpoints at the same vertex) or multiple edges connecting the same two vertices, as was already evident in the example of dipole multigraphs being dual to cycle graphs. As a special case of the cut-cycle duality discussed below, the bridges of a planar graph G are in one-to-one correspondence with the self-loops of the dual graph.[8] For the same reason, a pair of parallel edges in a dual multigraph (that is, a length-2 cycle) corresponds to a 2-edge cutset in the primal graph. Therefore, a planar graph is simple if and only if its dual has no 1- or 2-edge cutsets (that is, it is 3-edge-connected), and the simple planar graphs whose duals are simple are exactly the 3-edge-connected simple planar graphs.[9] This class of graphs includes, but is not the same as, the class of 3-vertex-connected simple planar graphs. For instance, the figure showing a self-dual graph is 3-edge-connected (and therefore its dual is simple) but is not 3-vertex-connected.
Because the dual graph depends on a particular embedding, the dual graph of a planar graph is not unique in the sense that the same planar graph can have non-isomorphic dual graphs.[10] In the picture, the blue graphs are isomorphic but their dual red graphs are not: the upper one has a vertex with degree 6 (corresponding to the outer face of the blue graph) while in the lower red graph all degrees are less than 6.
However, if the graph is 3-connected, then Whitney showed that the embedding, and thus the dual graph, is unique.[11] By Steinitz's theorem, these graphs are exactly the polyhedral graphs, the graphs of convex polyhedra. A planar graph is 3-vertex-connected if and only if its dual graph is 3-vertex-connected. More generally, a planar graph has a unique embedding, and therefore also a unique dual, if and only if it is a subdivision of a 3-vertex-connected planar graph. However, for some planar graphs that are not 3-vertex-connected (such as the complete bipartite graph K2,4) the embedding is not unique, but all embeddings are isomorphic; when this happens, correspondingly, all dual graphs are isomorphic.
Because different embeddings may lead to different dual graphs, testing whether one graph is a dual of another (without already knowing their embeddings) is a nontrivial algorithmic problem. For biconnected graphs, it can be solved in polynomial time by using the SPQR trees of the graphs to construct a canonical form for the equivalence relation of having a shared mutual dual. For instance, the two red graphs in the illustration are equivalent according to this relation. However, for planar graphs that are not biconnected, this relation is not an equivalence relation and the problem of testing mutual duality is NP-complete.[12]
Cuts and cycles[edit]
A cutset in an arbitrary connected graph is a subset of edges whose removal disconnects the graph into multiple connected components. A minimal cutset (also called a bond) is a cutset with the property that every proper subset of the cutset is not itself a cut. A minimal cutset necessarily separates its graph into exactly two components, and consists of the set of edges that have one endpoint in each component.[13]
In a connected planar graph G, every simple cycle of G corresponds to a minimal cutset in the dual of G, and vice versa.[14] This can be seen as a form of the Jordan curve theorem: each simple cycle separates the faces of G into the faces in the interior of the cycle and the faces of the exterior of the cycle, and the duals of the cycle edges are exactly the edges that cross from the interior to the exterior.[15] The girth of any planar graph (the size of its smallest cycle) equals the edge connectivity of its dual graph (the size of its smallest cutset).[16]
This duality extends from individual cutsets and cycles to vector spaces defined from them: the cycle space of a planar graph equals the cut space of its dual graph.[17] Thus, the rank of a planar graph (the dimension of its cut space) equals the cyclotomic number of its dual (the dimension of its cycle space) and vice versa.[10] For edge-weighted planar graphs (with sufficiently general weights that no two cycles have the same weight) the minimum-weight cycle basis of the graph is dual to the Gomory–Hu tree of the dual graph. The minimum weight cycle basis is a minimum-weight set of cycles whose symmetric differences form every other cycle in the graph, or in other words a basis of the cycle space. The edges in each of its cycles are dual to the edges of one of the cuts in the Gomory–Hu tree, a collection of nested cuts that together include a minimum cut separating each pair of vertices in the graph. When cycle weights may be tied, the minimum-weight cycle basis may not be unique, but in this case it is still true that the Gomory–Hu tree of the dual graph corresponds to one of the minimum weight cycle bases of the graph.[17]
In directed planar graphs, simple directed cycles are dual to directed cuts (partitions of the vertices into two subsets such that all edges go in one direction, from one subset to the other). Strongly oriented planar graphs (graphs whose underlying undirected graph is connected, and in which every edge belongs to a cycle) are dual to directed acyclic graphs in which no edge belongs to a cycle. To put this another way, the strong orientations of a connected planar graph (assignments of directions to the edges of the graph that result in a strongly connected graph) are dual to acyclic orientations (assignments of directions that produce a directed acyclic graph).[18]
Spanning trees[edit]
A spanning tree may be defined as a set of edges that, together with all of the vertices of the graph, forms a connected and acyclic subgraph. But, by cut-cycle duality, if a set S of edges in a planar graph G is acyclic (has no cycles), then the set of edges dual to S has no cuts, from which it follows that the complementary set of dual edges (the duals of the edges that are not in S) forms a connected subgraph. Symmetrically, if S is connected, then the edges dual to the complement of S form an acyclic subgraph. Therefore, when S has both properties – it is connected and acyclic – the same is true for the complementary set in the dual graph. That is, each spanning tree of G is complementary to a spanning tree of the dual graph, and vice versa. In particular, the minimum spanning tree of G is complementary to the maximum spanning tree of the dual graph.[19]
Thus, the edges of any planar graph and its dual can together be partitioned (in multiple different ways) into two spanning trees, one in the primal and one in the dual, that together extend to all the vertices and faces of the graph but never cross each other. An example of this type of decomposition into interdigitating trees can be seen in some simple types of mazes, with a single entrance and no disconnected components of its walls; in this case both the maze walls and the space between the walls take the form of a mathematical tree. If the free space of the maze is partitioned into simple cells (such as the squares of a grid) then this system of cells can be viewed as an embedding of a planar graph, in which the tree structure of the walls forms a spanning tree of the graph and the tree structure of the free space forms a spanning tree of the dual graph.[20] Similar pairs of interdigitating trees can be seen e.g. in the tree-shaped pattern of streams and rivers within a drainage basin and the dual tree-shaped pattern of ridgelines separating the streams.[21]
This partition of the edges and their duals into two trees leads to a simple proof of Euler's formula V − E + F = 2 for planar graphs with V vertices, E edges, and F faces. Any spanning tree and its complementary dual spanning tree partition the edges into two subsets of V − 1 and F − 1 edges respectively, and adding the sizes of the two subsets gives the equation
which may be rearranged to form Euler's formula. According to Duncan Sommerville, this proof of Euler's formula is due to G. K. C. Von Staudt's Geometrie der Lage (Nürnberg, 1847).[22]
In nonplanar surface embeddings the set of dual edges complementary to a spanning tree is not a dual spanning tree. Instead this set of edges is the union of a dual spanning tree with a small set of extra edges whose number is determined by the genus of the surface on which the graph is embedded. The extra edges, in combination with paths in the spanning trees, can be used to generate the fundamental group of the surface.[23]
Additional properties[edit]
Any counting formula involving vertices and faces that is valid for all planar graphs may be transformed by planar duality into an equivalent formula in which the roles of the vertices and faces have been swapped. Euler's formula, which is self-dual, is one example. Another given by Harary involves the handshaking lemma, according to which the sum of the degrees of the vertices of any graph equals twice the number of edges. In its dual form, this lemma states that in a plane graph, the sum of the numbers of sides of the faces of the graph equals twice the number of edges.[24]
The medial graph of a plane graph is isomorphic to the medial graph of its dual. Two planar graphs can have isomorphic medial graphs only if they are dual to each other.[25]
A planar graph with four or more vertices is maximal (no more edges can be added while preserving planarity) if and only if its dual graph is both 3-vertex-connected and 3-regular.[26]
A connected planar graph is Eulerian (has even degree at every vertex) if and only if its dual graph is bipartite.[27] A Hamiltonian cycle in a planar graph G corresponds to a partition of the vertices of the dual graph into two subsets (the interior and exterior of the cycle) whose induced subgraphs are both trees. In particular, Barnette's conjecture on the Hamiltonicity of cubic bipartite polyhedral graphs is equivalent to the conjecture that every Eulerian maximal planar graph can be partitioned into two induced trees.[28]
If a planar graph G has Tutte polynomial TG(x,y), then the Tutte polynomial of its dual graph is obtained by swapping x and y. For this reason, if some particular value of the Tutte polynomial provides information about certain types of structures in G, then swapping the arguments to the Tutte polynomial will give the corresponding information for the dual structures. For instance, the number of strong orientations is TG(0,2) and the number of acyclic orientations is TG(2,0).[29] For bridgeless planar graphs, graph colorings with k colors correspond to nowhere-zero flows modulo k on the dual graph. For instance, the four color theorem (the existence of a 4-coloring for every planar graph) can be expressed equivalently as stating that the dual of every bridgeless planar graph has a nowhere-zero 4-flow. The number of k-colorings is counted (up to an easily computed factor) by the Tutte polynomial value TG(1 − k,0) and dually the number of nowhere-zero k-flows is counted by TG(0,1 − k).[30]
An st-planar graph is a connected planar graph together with a bipolar orientation of that graph, an orientation that makes it acyclic with a single source and a single sink, both of which are required to be on the same face as each other. Such a graph may be made into a strongly connected graph by adding one more edge, from the sink back to the source, through the outer face. The dual of this augmented planar graph is itself the augmentation of another st-planar graph.[31]
Directed graphs[edit]
In a directed plane graph, the dual graph may be made directed as well, by orienting each dual edge by a 90° clockwise turn from the corresponding primal edge.[31] Strictly speaking, this construction is not a duality of directed planar graphs, because starting from a graph G and taking the dual twice does not return to G itself, but instead constructs a graph isomorphic to the transpose graph of G, the graph formed from G by reversing all of its edges. Taking the dual four times returns to the original graph.
Weak dual[edit]
The weak dual of a plane graph is the subgraph of the dual graph whose vertices correspond to the bounded faces of the primal graph. A plane graph is outerplanar if and only if its weak dual is a forest, and a plane graph is a Halin graph if and only if its weak dual is biconnected and outerplanar. For any plane graph G, let G+ be the plane multigraph formed by adding a single new vertex v in the unbounded face of G, and connecting v to each vertex of the outer face (multiple times, if a vertex appears multiple times on the boundary of the outer face); then, G is the weak dual of the (plane) dual of G+.[32][33]
Infinite graphs and tessellations[edit]
The concept of duality applies as well to infinite graphs embedded in the plane as it does to finite graphs, although care is needed to avoid topological complications such as points of the plane that are neither part of an open region disjoint from the graph nor part of an edge or vertex of the graph. When all faces are bounded regions surrounded by a cycle of the graph, an infinite planar graph embedding can also be viewed as a tessellation of the plane, a covering of the plane by closed disks (the tiles of the tessellation) whose interiors (the faces of the embedding) are disjoint open disks. Planar duality gives rise to the notion of a dual tessellation, a tessellation formed by placing a vertex at the center of each tile and connecting the centers of adjacent tiles.[34]
The concept of a dual tessellation can also be applied to partitions of the plane into finitely many regions, and is closely related to but not quite the same as planar graph duality in this case. For instance, the Voronoi diagram of a finite set of point sites is a partition of the plane into polygons within which one site is closer than any other; the sites on the convex hull of the input give rise to unbounded polygons, two of whose sides are infinite rays rather than finite line segments. The dual of this diagram is the Delaunay triangulation of the input, a planar graph that connects two sites by an edge whenever there exists a circle that contains those two sites and no other sites. The edges of the convex hull of the input are also edges of the Delaunay triangulation, but they correspond to rays rather than line segments of the Voronoi diagram. This duality between Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations can be turned into a duality between finite graphs in either of two ways: by adding an artificial vertex at infinity to the Voronoi diagram, to serve as the other endpoint for all of its rays,[35] or by treating the bounded part of the Voronoi diagram as the weak dual of the Delaunay triangulation. Note also that although the Voronoi diagram and Delaunay triangulation are dual, they may not necessarily be embedded in the plane in such a way that each Delaunay edge crosses only the Voronoi edge or ray to which it is dual.
Nonplanar embeddings[edit]
The concept of duality can be extended to graph embeddings on two-dimensional manifolds other than the plane. The definition is the same: there is a dual vertex for each connected component of the complement of the graph in the manifold, and a dual edge for each graph edge connecting the two dual vertices on either side of the edge. In most applications of this concept, it is restricted to embeddings with the property that each face is a topological disk; this constraint generalizes the requirement for planar graphs that the graph be connected. With this constraint, the dual of any surface-embedded graph has a natural embedding on the same surface, such that the dual of the dual is isomorphic to and isomorphically embedded to the original graph. For instance, the complete graph K7 is a toroidal graph: it is not planar but can be embedded in a torus, with each face of the embedding being a triangle. This embedding has the Heawood graph as its dual graph.[36]
The same concept works equally well for non-orientable surfaces. For instance, K6 can be embedded in the projective plane with ten triangular faces as the hemi-icosahedron, whose dual is the Petersen graph embedded as the hemi-dodecahedron.[37]
Even planar graphs may have nonplanar embeddings, with duals derived from those embeddings that differ from their planar duals. For instance, the four Petrie polygons of a cube (hexagons formed by removing two opposite vertices of the cube) form the hexagonal faces of an embedding of the cube in a torus. The dual graph of this embedding has four vertices forming a complete graph K4 with doubled edges. In the torus embedding of this dual graph, the six edges incident to each vertex, in cyclic order around that vertex, cycle twice through the three other vertices. In contrast to the situation in the plane, this embedding of the cube and its dual is not unique; the cube graph has several other torus embeddings, with different duals.[36]
Many of the equivalences between primal and dual graph properties of planar graphs fail to generalize to nonplanar duals, or require additional care in their generalization.
Matroids and algebraic duals[edit]
Let G be a connected graph. An algebraic dual of G is a graph G★ such that G and G★ have the same set of edges, any cycle of G is a cut of G★, and any cut of G is a cycle of G★. Every planar graph has an algebraic dual, which is in general not unique (any dual defined by a plane embedding will do). The converse is actually true, as settled by Hassler Whitney in Whitney's planarity criterion:[38]
- A connected graph G is planar if and only if it has an algebraic dual.
The same fact can be expressed in the theory of matroids. If M is the graphic matroid of a graph G, then a graph G★ is an algebraic dual of G if and only if the graphic matroid of G★ is the dual matroid of M. Then Whitney's planarity criterion can be rephrased as stating that the dual matroid of a graphic matroid M is itself a graphic matroid if and only if the underlying graph G of M is planar. If G is planar, the dual matroid is the graphic matroid of the dual graph of G. In particular, all dual graphs, for all the different planar embeddings of G, have isomorphic graphic matroids.
For nonplanar surface embeddings, unlike planar duals, the dual graph is not generally an algebraic dual of the primal graph. And for a non-planar graph G, the dual matroid of the graphic matroid of G is not itself a graphic matroid. However, it is still a matroid whose circuits correspond to the cuts in G, and in this sense can be thought of as a generalized algebraic dual of G.
The duality between Eulerian and bipartite planar graphs can be extended to binary matroids (which include the graphic matroids derived from planar graphs): a binary matroid is Eulerian if and only if its dual matroid is bipartite.[27] The two dual concepts of girth and edge connectivity are unified in matroid theory by matroid girth: the girth of the graphic matroid of a planar graph is the same as the graph's girth, and the girth of the dual matroid (the graphic matroid of the dual graph) is the edge connectivity of the graph.[16]

BNP on Monday alleged that the government is trying to cage the mass media by formulating new laws and policies in the name of making the media accountable and responsible.
"The government is going to formulate new laws and policies in the name of ensuring accountability of newspapers, news agencies, online portals, televisions and radios. We think the government is out to cage the mass media by formulating various laws and polices," said BNP joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
He came up with the allegation at a press briefing at BNP's Nayapaltan central office.
Referring to media reports, Rizvi said the government is also going to make new laws to have authority to shut down any television channel if it wants. "The government is trying to make the mass media its publicity tools like that of Baksal rule in a different style."
He urged the government to shun the vicious path of controlling the media.
Meanwhile, the cabinet on Monday approved the draft 'The National Broadcasting Policy, 2014' in bid to ensure social responsibility of the mass media and make the mass media responsible.
Rizvi came down hard on the government for what he said its growing repressive acts.
"The Awami League-government has swooped on people with its all might and strength. The state will lose its all strength if such regime lasts for long. A strong mass movement is the only treatment of the current unethical and regime," he said.
The BNP leader alleged that the government getting unnerved with their movement threat is arresting opposition leaders and activists across the country as part of its move to foil it.
He also alleged that the government is not releasing BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain although he got bail from the High Court.
Expressing solidarity with the demands of Tuba Group workers, the BNP leader demanded the authorities concerned immediately pay their outstanding salaries and dues.

Current Size: 100%
The Access to Volunteering Fund Pilot aims to increase the number of disabled people in volunteer positions by breaking down the barriers they currently face when wanting to volunteer.
Disabled people are 9% less likely to volunteer than the rest of the population. A lack of special equipment, inappropriate premises, the extra cost of travel and the need for support workers to provide assistance often mean disabled people are prevented from volunteering.
Backed by The Office for Civil Society, the £2million Access to Volunteering Fund will give small grants to organisations to support disabled people in realising their desire to volunteer.
The pilot will operate initially in three test areas - Greater London, West Midlands and the North West.
The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is managing the grant process.
Fill in your details to register to apply for a grant and also to receive updates from Access to Volunteering.
The final deadline for applications is 6th September 2010, after which the pilot will close.

I enjoy the facility overall. The BBQs barely work. There seems to be inconsistency over rule enforcement amo Read Moreng tenants. Most maintenance reqs are handled in a timely manner, but I experienced a month in the heat of summer where my AC unit was essentially not functioning. Multiple attempts were made to correct; being a troubleshooter myself, I understand that its ultimately a process of elimination. However, the communication was very poor throughout the process. My apt was simply miserable.

long maintenance waits, not much parking, not very pet friendly, overall an experience I'm very happy to be do Read Morene with.

Precautionary swimming advisory issued for several Presque Isle beaches
Presque Isle State Park issued a precautionary swimming advisory for Beach 1, Barracks Beach, Beach 6, Beach 7, Beach 8 and Mill Road Beaches.
The precautionary advisory was issued based off a predictive module and high winds causing turbidity in the water that elevates E. coli bacteria counts, park officials said.
According to Erie County Department of Health protocol, if E. coli bacteria counts are between 235 and 999 per 100 milliliters of water, a swimming advisory is posted for a beach. A precautionary swimming advisory will remain until bacteria counts are less than 235.
Retesting of the waters will be performed daily until the counts decrease, officials said.
Swimming is allowed at beaches with swimming advisories, but officials recommend that swimmers avoid swallowing lake water and avoid swimming with open cuts or wounds.
Beach users should wash their hands before handling food.
Beaches remain open for swimming daily from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., officials said.
Presque Isle State Park has 13 regulated swimming beaches.
For information, call the park office at 833-7424.

AIRLIE WARD: If the polls are correct Tasmania could find itself with a minority Government in just over a week. The State's had two in the past 17 years, both ended acrimoniously. The major parties and a shadowy ad campaign are pushing the merits of majority government. But are minority governments by definition such a bad thing?
MICHAEL FIELD, FORMER PREMIER: We've reached the basis of an agreement. There'll be a press conference later on. AIRLIE WARD: In 1989 after lengthy talks, Michael Field negotiate an accord with the five Green independents to form government.
BOB BROWN: We're looking forward to it.
AIRLIE WARD: It might have been all smiles then, but it didn't take long for the relationship to sour.
MICHAEL FIELD: It was a forced marriage and forced marriages usually don't work. There wasn't sufficient goodwill and trust for it to work and there was bad behaviour by individuals on both sides. And then there was a very acrimonious divorce.
AIRLIE WARD: When Mr Field took office he had no idea of the dire state of the economy. In today's terms, he says, Tasmania had the equivalent of about $4 billion in debt. That is one thing that both he and Greens member of the accord, Christine Milne, did agree on.
CHRISTINE MILNE, GREENS SENATOR: When the books were opened, we found Tasmania was bankrupt and so instead of being able to inject money into public education, what happened was a complete destruction of just so much money taken out of public education, public health. It was awful.
AIRLIE WARD: There were thousands of redundancies in the public sector. The economy posed massive problems, but so did the relationship between Labor and the Green independents, particularly on the environment. During the Field Government, Tasmania's World Heritage area was doubled.
MICHAEL FIELD: It didn't resolve the dispute. People weren't prepared to compromise. The gains were put in the people's back pocket and the basis for another campaign. And so it's now gone on as a divisive issue in Tasmania for another, what, 14 years.
AIRLIE WARD: He says after less than three years, Cabinet had had enough of the insecurity.
MICHAEL FIELD: These are human beings who are wondering whether there is a government from one day to the next, threatened about whether particular pieces of legislation would pass, including the budget, no-confidence motions in ministers. These circumstances are such that wear people down in human terms and, in the end, it overwhelms them.
CHRISTINE MILNE: What destroyed the Labor-Green Accord was the betrayal of the Greens by the Labor Party over resource security legislation.
MICHAEL FIELD: In 1992 we got the lowest vote for the Labor Party since 1910.
AIRLIE WARD: Then after four years of Liberal majority government, Tasmania again found itself in a minority government with the help of the Greens, this time with the Liberals' Tony Rundle.
TONY RUNDLE, FORMER PREMIER: I still don't believe that it's impossible for us to establish a very productive relationship.
BILL BONDE, FORMER LIBERAL MHA: I look forward to an era in Government and in Parliament where there'll be true debate on the floor of the House, where the results of that debate will very largely reflect the consultative capacity.
AIRLIE WARD: But it wasn't to be.
TONY RUNDLE: We were not prepared to have Mrs Mills dictate to us.
AIRLIE WARD: It too came unstuck after less than three years and Tasmania was again on the verge of bankruptcy.
TV ADVERTISEMENT: Tassie had a hung Parliament, little investment, poor growth and few new jobs.
AIRLIE WARD: Many, particularly in the business sector, blame minority government for the economic bad times.
TV ADVERTISEMENT: In short Tasmania's future stays bright. Vote for stable majority government.
DEAN JENSCH, POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: I don't think it's a case that minority governments cause those sorts of economic malaises. When you look around to other states, for example, my own state in South Australia, it's been a hung Parliament in both houses for a number of years and we don't seem to have an economic malaise. These are arguments that major parties will put up because they want control of the Parliament in their own right.
AIRLIE WARD: Political commentator Dean Jensch says hung parliaments are good for democracy.
DEAN JENSCH: Having a hung parliament gives more opportunity for Government to be questioned, to be put on the spot. Equally, I think a hung parliament also gives more opportunity for discussion, for debate, for compromise. I see nothing evil about hung parliaments simply because many Houses of Parliament in Australia have hung parliaments - the Australian Senate, the Tasmanian Upper House. They're hung parliaments which seem to work quite well.
AIRLIE WARD: They might be good for democracy, but business says minority governments give investors the jitters.
DAMON THOMAS, TCCI: Our research shows that on this occasion minority Government won't work for the business confidence of this State.
CHRISTINE MILNE: Both the Labor-Green Accord and the period of Liberal minority government were the two most reformist periods in modern Tasmanian history. They were the most difficult politically, they were the most inclusive, and that's because all the decisions were brought to the floor of the House.
AIRLIE WARD: In the wake of Port Arthur, the Rundle minority government reformed gun law. It also changed laws which had banned homosexuality. Tony Rundle didn't want to participate in this story. He said it could potentially damage the current Liberal campaign, which has pledged it will not take Government without a majority.
RENE HIDDING, LIBERAL LEADER: The only commitment on the table is that commitment by the State Liberals. We have made a guarantee in writing that we will not govern with the Greens or anyone else.
AIRLIE WARD: While he didn't want to be interviewed, Mr Rundle said during his term many achievements were made, citing a string of electronic business partnerships, the Starwood factory on the Tamar and the reopening of the Savage River mine. BassLink and Gas were also Rundle Government initiatives. It was during the Rundle minority government that the Regional Forest Agreement was signed.
CHRISTINE MILNE: Signing of the Regional Forest Agreement, of course, brought incredible tension to that period and it was certainly something that we did not support, but it demonstrates how the Greens alone in a minority government cannot achieve anything without one of the other parties voting with us. Liberal and Labor voted together on the Regional Forest Agreement.
AIRLIE WARD: But it wasn't forestry that brought the Rundle Government undone, but legislation to reduce the size of Parliament. A move Christine Milne says was intended to wipe out the Greens. But it didn't, and all recent polls have pointed towards another minority government after Tasmanians go to the ballot box at the end of next week. The scenarios differ, but if the pollsters are correct the already tight Opposition benches look set to become populated. If there is a minority, there is challenging times ahead for the person in this chair, the Speaker, who controls the House.
DEAN JENSCH: All three have to be willing to talk, willing to compromise, willing to listen to the other people's points of view and attempting to resolve it in the way that is best for the people of Tasmania.
AIRLIE WARD: If Labor doesn't achieve a majority?
MICHAEL FIELD: My advice to Paul Lennon - if Labor doesn't get a majority, I would not step into the Parliament without a guarantee by Peg Putt and individually each Green that they would support money bills, and not move no-confidence motions in the Government, unless there was proven corruption or maladministration, assessed by someone like a Supreme Court judge.
AIRLIE WARD: The Chamber of Commerce and Industry says the only minority government that can work is one between Labor and the Liberals, not the Greens.
DAMON THOMAS: Personalities and places and policies will rule whether or not a minority government could be successful and we don't believe that the personalities and the power dimensions that are there will work in that context.
AIRLIE WARD: Are you saying Paul Lennon and Peg Putt can't work together?
DAMON THOMAS: We don't believe they can.
CHRISTINE MILNE: The lesson to be learned from periods of minority government is that this is not about re-establishing yourself as a majority to get rid of the Greens, this is about working together for the people of Tasmania.
AIRLIE WARD: In just over a week when 340,000 Tasmanians cast their vote, it will become clear whether fears of minority government have rung in voters' minds.

Join us to watch Gift of Pachamama with a critical lens at how indigenous people of Bolivia are portrayed in this recent film.
Sponsors: MICA
12-1:30PM | Stamp Student Involvement Suite Room 0207D
Come join the American Indian Student Union as they discuss the It Means More Campaign.
Cultural appropriation is much bigger than Halloween. Year-round, we often see celebrities profiting off of components of marginalized cultures, getting praised for expressing what actual members of these cultures are ridiculed and even punished for. We see braids and dreadlocks, moccasins, and henna tattoos, for example, turned into fashion statements and trends. There is a fine line between cultural appreciation and appropriation, and with this campaign, We hope to start a campus-wide dialogue about how to discern between the two.
The "It Means More" campaign aims to put an end to cultural appropriation on UMD's campus. Cultural appropriation is a widespread issue; it extends beyond Native American appropriation. This is why we have created a series of posters, representing other cultures that are often appropriated. We want to let viewers know that our culture means more than just a costume or a fashion statement. Often, appropriated items have deep spiritual and cultural meanings, and they are a part of our values and our lives. We hope that as a result of our campaign, there will be no more culturally themed parties, and no more offensive and racist Halloween costumes. We also hope that our posters inspire viewers to speak up when they see cultural appropriation, educating others on why it is unacceptable. Finally, we hope to see other cultural and religious organizations on campus come together to fight against the common cause in the future.

Pilgrims, Funerals, and Cultural Changes
During this time of year where we emulate the festive celebrations of the Pilgrims. They had a rich culture and important figures that has not are not as iconic as the style and food.
One figure is William Brandford. His journals from 1620-1647 were published under the title Of Plymouth Plantation. He designated what is now considered Thanksgiving. Bradford is one of the more influential of the Pilgrims. He was buried on Burial Hill in Plymouth County in 1657 at the age of 67. An obelisk tombstone marks his #grave. This was later added. Photos of Burial Hill can be found here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=310849
The funeral ceremony of the pilgrims varied. Most funerals the first year were brief due to harsh living situation and the inability to devote time to mourning. There was no funeral plans or funeral preplanning. The deceased were transported up Cole's hill and placed in graves dug from sandy soil. These were not marked with stone but wooden crosses. There were not #funeralhomes or #cremation, or lasting markers.
This greatly differs from our current honoring of the deceased. What we consider a #traditionalfuneralservice today is not actually what #funeralarrangements were in the past. Our culture has come to embrace the mourning process more. #Funeralservices play a big part in our mourning process. Our lifestyle can now accommodate time to properly greave the loss of a loved one. In the Tulsa area and throughout the country, there are many funeral homes to meet ones needs. Staffed by cremation planners and funeral directors, these employees can help guide you through the process.
Advanced funeral arrangements are common and the funeral directors at TulsaFuneralHomes.net - Cremation Society of Oklahoma can help. Call (918) 645-2130 to get in touch with a certified funeral and cremation service provider near you.
