This product did not do the job I hoped
By franj
from Spanish Fort, AL
This product was ineffective. I purchased this product because mosquitoes and yellow flies in my area are abundant and make relaxing and gardening outside quite unpleasant. The solar bug zapper set of 4 did little, if anything, to control these pests.Unfortunately I returned them to you via UPS yesterday.Thank you for your interest. It is always a pleasure doing business with your fine company.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Just OK
By Ptuck603
from Pawtuckaway Lake, Nottingham, NH
As far as solar lights go, this one is a well built and nice looking product. When set to the white light setting, it is superior to most solar led lights I've seen. However, don't expect the bug light setting to do much other than cast a purple light. It will kill a few bugs a night, but not many. I live on a lake in the woods with swarming bugs. The bug light might attract and kill 5 bugs an hour. I love the concept and will keep the lights, but I'm disappointed.

Did not work
By gardner
from doylestown, PA
The lights and solar charging panels work well, unfortunately, if you are buying this product for its bug zapping capability, it does not keep away the bugs.After trying it for a few nights we ended up returning them.

By The Cat Lady

Sleek little things!
By CaroChel
from Advance, NC
Clever, pretty little gizmos. Worked for me...or maybe it was just a light year for mosquitos, but I'm happy with them.I ended up buying a 2nd set because the on/off switch is almost invisible and I thought the batteries were defective. When I called HS to get just the batteries replaced, the CS person sent me another complete set of 4. Since it will cost me 10% for the honor of returning them, I'll go ahead and pay for the extra 4 I don't need and hope that next year they'll earn their keep.

Bugs be gone
By namaste
from Irvine, CA.
The on/off switch on these are tricky. You need to play around with them to figure it out. Sounds weird, but you do. Other than that, they are super easy to assemble and use, and the UV lights are pretty bright compare to other solar lights I have bought before.

Almost Mosquito Free
By Clara of Brems
from Starke County, Indiana
Used to highlight entrance and to zap mosquitos. Individually solar-powered and attractive. Made of stainless steel which should not discolor and should be long-lasting. So far, I am very pleased with this product!

Picked this up along the way.. it still rings true today.
The Scout Oath and Law are a system of principles, and the program of Scouting is the method of making these principles work in the lives of boys. Let your boys know that the Oath and Law are the rules of the Troop. Scouting is a great game. Boys want to know the rules. When the ideals of the Scout Oath and Law become practical guides for the games, they then become a code to live by.
Keep in mind as you go along that the purpose of Scouting is"'…to promote,…the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues,…' by placing emphasis upon the Scout Oath or Promise and Law for Character development, citizenship training, and physical fitness."
Knowing the purpose of Scouting and the means of achieving it, you will have made a giant stride in the direction of building good men.
Finally, remember that as the first Scoutmaster Handbook put it- "Our purpose in this Boy Scout Movement is not to exploit methods, not to glorify organizations, not to honor Scoutmasters, but to lead boys into useful lives."
– The New Scoutmaster, Boy Scouts of America, 1958
As much as we all have tried to say this in other words.. that pretty much sums it up.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

A 504 plan, which falls under the Americans with Disabilities Act, spells out the accommodations needed for a child with a disability to participate in school activities. Children diagnosed with PH are eligible for a 504 plan because they have a chronic illness. An IEP, which falls under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004), is concerned with providing educational services to students who have a learning impairment and require specialized instruction. Only a small subset of children who qualify for a 504 Plan will qualify for an IEP. Since PH medications may have an effect on a child's cognitive functioning, making a child eligible for an IEP instead of a 504 plan, parents should discuss which option is appropriate for their child with school administration.
The "504" in "504 plan" refers to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act; it specifies that no one with a disability can be excluded from participating in federally funded programs or activities, including elementary, secondary or postsecondary schooling. Private schools and homebound instructors that receive federal funding are also subject to this policy. The kind of accommodations and modifications offered by a 504 plan are often the sorts of things parents may have worked out privately with the school or the teacher in the past. For example, parents can request an extra set of textbooks for use at home during unforeseen sick days. Having a legally binding plan lets everyone know what's to be done and how to go about it, and it promotes consistency and accountability. Putting your child's accommodations in writing as soon as possible may also ensure a smooth transition between schools and promote support from school administrators in case your child's needs change.
Below is an example of how one family with a teenager worked with school staff to come up with accommodations they thought were appropriate for their daughter. Accommodations related to field trips and substitute teacher notification might be helpful for younger children with PH as well. Keep in mind that a 504 plan can be modified at any time during the school year.
Classroom accommodations:
Other school arrangements might include:
An IEP outlines learning goals for a student with specialized needs. Only certain classifications of disability are eligible for an IEP. Those classifications include: learning disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), emotional disorders, mental retardation, autism, hearing impairment, visual impairment, speech or language impairment and developmental delay. A school must help a child master the goals outlined in his or her IEP in the least restrictive learning environment possible. In certain situations, a specialized class is necessary to facilitate optimal learning. If your child is eligible for an IEP, you may include accommodations that he or she needs for pulmonary hypertension in the fourth page of the IEP. In this case, a separate 504 plan is not necessary.

"He is uncomfortable changing into his gym clothes for fear of showing everyone his central line."
"She's having a hard time connecting with anyone her own age, maybe because she wants to talk to someone who has gone through the same things she has. Her friends can't relate to her and she can't relate to older people from the support group."

"We wanted to shut her in a big plastic bubble and keep her safe from anything that could cause her to get sick."
When a child is diagnosed with PH, families face a whole new set of circumstances and challenges. As a parent, it's natural to want to shelter your child from pain. When parenting a child with PH, this isn't always easy, and between the symptoms, side effects, treatments, and procedures, sometimes it's just not possible. Some parents say they feel guilty or resentful that they can't protect their children from the discomfort associated with this disease. It's also natural to worry about your child's emotional well-being. Whether your family has been living with PH for a few weeks or several years, it's normal to have lots of questions about raising a child with a chronic illness, and what you can do to help your child cope.
Many parents find that PH quickly assumes a central role in all aspects of their parenting. Decisions about a sick child's chores, homework, play dates, and bedtime become more complicated than they might be for a healthy child. Parents have to think about how much responsibility and independence they feel comfortable giving their child, how to stay attentive to their child's needs, and how to talk about the disease with someone so young.
Parents have the ongoing job of identifying and working through not only their own concerns, but their child's as well. Some children will speak up as issues present themselves, while others may need gentle encouragement to articulate their feelings and questions. Children also exhibit nonverbal behaviors that can signal confusion, distress or frustration. Pay attention to your child's moods, facial expressions and body language. Whether or not they're expressing them, many children have questions, either about about their illness or about the differences they observe between themselves and their siblings or friends. Children may wonder why they can't run as far as their friends or why they get so much special attention from adults. They might fear pain or assume they became sick because they were "bad." Your child's questions and concerns will change over time. The next section provides a basic overview of developmental stages to help you address your child's needs at every age.
As time goes on, new challenges will continue to present themselves. Just as you're finally adjusting to one aspect of parenting a child with PH, an impending doctor's appointment, a change in your child's health, or a period of transition (to school, college, or adult care) will bring a flood of fresh questions and concerns. While helping your child understand and cope with all these ups and downs may feel overwhelming, remember that your role as a parent remains constant: to provide the love and support necessary for your child to grow and learn.
John Wilmot wrote of parenting, "Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children, and no theories." Despite all the books and blogs available on the subject, many parents find that all the experts and advice out there can't compare to the lessons they learn by waking up every day and spending time with their children. Raising a child with PH can be eye-opening, nerve-racking, hectic, physically taxing, emotionally draining, and tremendously rewarding, sometimes all in the same afternoon. By checking in with yourself and your child on a regular basis and trusting your instincts, it's possible to be there for your child through the ups and the downs.
Talking about PH with your child can be one of the most challenging tasks parents in the PH community face. As with any sensitive topic, it's a good idea to plan ahead and anticipate potential questions and stumbling blocks. If you have a co-parent, talk to him or her about how and when to have these conversations, and how much information you feel comfortable sharing when you do. One mother compared explaining PH to her daughter to "having the sex talk." She went on, "How much to tell is all about age, maturity, and their desire to know."
The established developmental stages, described here, can help guide these talks, but keep in mind that all children are individuals who process feelings and concepts differently.
At every age, try to be gentle, open and honest. If you don't think your child is ready for certain details, that's ok. Some parents find that their children's questions are the best guide for what to tell and when. One parent shared that she didn't tell her nine-year-old daughter very much initially except that "she had to take meds to make her heart stronger." You're the best judge of your child's personality and moods, so you know better than anyone how much information will help your child understand and cope at every stage.
As every parent knows all too well, sometimes children will take you off guard by asking something that you're not prepared to talk about. Around the second grade, some children begin asking about death. Keep in mind that this is normal, even in healthy children. It's in elementary school that children begin to develop a curiosity about what happens when a person dies and their own mortality, particularly if someone in your family has recently passed away. Be honest and open, and give your child the space to voice any fears and questions. Try not to rush the conversation because you're feeling uncomfortable. Children can pick up on anxiety in adults, and evasive responses may only add to their fears. If your family has spiritual beliefs that you want to share with your child, this can be a good time to do that.
Above all, reassure your child that your love is unconditional and, if it comes up, that PH didn't develop because of anything he or she did wrong. Offer your child an open line of communication. Be on the lookout for signs of confusion or distress, and turn to your PH team, your child's school counselor, a therapist or clergy member if you or your child need extra support at any point.
Visits to the doctor's office or hospital, whether routine or not, can be difficult times for children of all ages. They may be afraid of certain tests and procedures, anxious at the thought of interacting with strangers, put off by the clinical atmosphere, or worried about missing school or social activities.
Children have a tendency to feel anxious about the unknown. If possible, prepare your son or daughter for appointments and hospital visits in advance by describing the appointment or procedure, who will be in the room, what devices will be used, and how much your child will feel during any tests or procedures. How much you tell your child and how far in advance will depend on age and developmental stage. One strategy is to wait the equivalent number of days before an appointment as your child's age in years (four days for a four-year-old, two weeks for a 14-year-old), but this guideline will vary from child to child. Talk to your PH team for ideas about how to talk to your child about medical tests, as it's likely they have time-tested strategies for explaining complicated topics to young patients. Some hospitals have pediatric social workers and child life specialists who can help you prepare your child for hospitalizations.
If your child gets a line infection or experiences another unexpected medical emergency, you may not have time to prepare your child for a hospitalization in advance. Unplanned visits to the hospital can be frightening for both parent and child. You can reduce your own stress in these situations by having an emergency plan ready and following it when the time comes. Pack a bag of essentials to keep near your front door. Include a change of clothing for each family member, books and magazines, comfort objects for your child, nonperishable snacks, $20 in cash for parking, and your child's medication list. Keep a supply of pre-made meals in your freezer and ask two to three neighbors or family members to serve as "on-call babysitters" for your other children or pets if you need to leave the house in a hurry. Children have a tendency to take cues from adults in stressful situations. If you're able to manage your own tension and project a calm demeanor, your child will be more likely to follow suit. On the trip to the hospital, pay close attention to your child, responding to any questions with simple and reassuring language. If possible, use distraction techniques like singing or car games to take you child's mind off any pain or anxiety.
Once at the hospital, stay attentive to your child's body language for signs of discomfort. Keep in mind that it can be difficult for young people to interact with adults they don't know. Children are sometimes embarrassed to ask nurses for help. Explain that nurses spend time with other kids with conditions like PH every day. Stay at your child's side whenever possible, and work with the doctor and nurse to explain what's happening to put your child at ease. You can actively participate in your child's care during a hospitalization by staying overnight or helping in tasks such as washing. Answering honestly to questions such as "will this hurt?" helps build trust between parent and child and removes the fear of the unknown.
Many parents also try to ease the anxiety their children feel around appointments and procedures by concentrating on the positive. You might focus conversation around how great it will be to feel better after surgery, or all the visitors and games there are to look forward to during a hospital stay. Hannah, now in her 20s, fondly remembers her parents' strategy for relieving her hospital-related stress. After blood draws, IVs, PICC lines, and heart caths, she would always receive a small gift. She told us, "I wasn't spoiled … I never got money for good grades, but that was something simple that my parents did to keep my mind off the pain. To this day I often go get an ice cream after a less-than-fun doctor's visit."
With so much already on a young patient's plate, it might be tempting to avoid piling on additional responsibilities. But be wary of protecting your child too much. To help a chronically ill child feel as much like a normal kid as possible, professionals recommend that parents set limits and encourage responsibility, just as you would with a child who didn't have PH.
One of the easiest places to establish this sense of normalcy is at home. Talk about your expectations for good behavior and help around the house. One mom, Christine, created a list of chores that she knew her daughter could complete successfully, PH and all. Make sure there are consequences if your expectations aren't met and rewards for jobs well done. Get in a routine and stick with it. Having a predictable home life, with fairly consistent chores, meal times, bedtimes and activities, can counteract the stress and unpredictability of the ups and downs of PH. A well-thought-out routine can also ensure that you make every effort to give every family member, including healthy children and your spouse, the attention they deserve.
As time goes on, you can also encourage your child to take on new responsibilities regarding his or her health and medication management. While parents sometimes feel the need to control all aspects of their children's health, offering small choices in a predictable environment can ease the inevitable transition to adult care. One parent told us, "We allowed our daughter to choose her own bedtime during the summer as long as she was responsible in taking her oral medications on a daily basis." When the daughter made choices that made her feel worse, she learned to avoid them in the future, and thus slowly developed her own action plan for tending to her health. You can help your child identify activities or behaviors to avoid by verbalizing the circumstances and symptoms when he or she doesn't feel well. You might also encourage your child to mix his or her own medications or fill his or her own pill box occasionally. As children get older, their confidence will grow and they will feel empowered to make more and better choices.
Remember that life with a chronic disease can be extremely stressful for a child, so it's a good idea to keep the home environment as stress-free as possible. While there will be hard times and difficult conversations ahead, try not to argue with your partner about PH or medical bills within earshot of your child. Instead, create a safe and supportive atmosphere by showing your child that you, your partner and the PH medical team are all working together to give the young patient the care he or she deserves.
Planning for school can be particularly stressful to parents of young PHers because it's a place where they have less hands-on control of their child's care than they do at home. One parent told us that with all the dangers and unknowns she feared, she debated if she should let her daughter attend school at all. She worried, "What if she fell? Her line could get pulled, the kids could pick on her, and she may get too tired!" Yet the knowledge, confidence and relationships children build in school (or, in the case of home-schooled kids, extracurricular activities) are important building blocks in their growth and development. Work through your own fears in advance so you can help your child cope with his or her feelings as they arise.
Speaking to the school in advance in order to prepare teachers for any special needs your child has can help ease some of these anxieties. PHA has a School Resource Handbook you can use to work with school personnel to ensure that your child's classroom environment is as safe and supportive as possible (see Additional Resources). Eventually your child can begin to participate in the process of educating teachers, counselors, and coaches about PH. One high school student liked to take the lead in the meetings her parents convened of all her teachers at the beginning of every year. She said, "I felt in charge of my PH and my situation at school."
Often parents worry that children with PH will become alienated from their peers because they feel so different. Once children are settled in a new routine, however, most of the stories we hear are positive ones. One mother shared, "Katy has always had a couple of good friends. Her classmates have always protected her and cared about her." Ask the teacher to treat your child like any other student, and students will usually follow the teacher's example. And the more you can do to help demystify your child's illness, the better. Children are naturally curious, so you might consider visiting the classroom to explain the basics of PH, oxygen or an infusion pump to your child's classmates.
One mother was relieved to confide, "Sarah made a ton of new friends and they all wanted to learn about her pump and backpack." A network of informed friends can give peace of mind to both children and their parents. One father said, "Iain has been able to develop very strong friendships with kids who have been with him since diagnosis. This network of friends and their parents helps us to provide a secondary level of protection for him."
The older they get, the more children with PH might dwell on the negative aspects of their disease. Depending on the severity of their symptoms or the nature of their medications, they may be unable to participate in some physical activities. One parent recommended creating "a list of what PHers can do, like watch a movie or play a board game or video games." While there's a chance you'll have to say no to some activities, there may be alternatives that are equally appealing to your child. Remember, for every activity that children with PH can't do, there's one they can do. One mom said of her nine-year-old with PH, "She's a pretty typical kid. She can't run well or keep up with the other kids, of course. But she's very bright and typically sassy. She has big plans for her future and to live a long, happy life."
During the self-conscious teen years it can hurt a lot to feel different from peers. Some young patients have difficulty accepting ownership of the disease as adulthood approaches. Open lines of communication are vital during this time to discuss new responsibilities, drinking, sexual activity and drug use. Periods of denial or some non-compliance are also normal in teens. Talk openly with your child if this occurs. If it continues, speak to his or her PH doctor for advice.
Many kids get through tough times by making friends with other young people living with PH. Some parents coordinate visits to the PH doctor to coincide with the visits of other children with PH of similar ages. You can use PHA's email group, message board or support group calls to meet other parents in your area. Attending PHA's biennial International PH Conference is another great way for children to meet other kids who understand what they're going through. Online, kids can visit PHA's website to read interviews with other kids and get advice on school, sports and more. Teens (ages 13 to 18) can visit PHA's secure social network, PHA Teens, to meet other teenagers living with the illness. In the summer, some parents arrange for their kids and teens to attend camps that cater specifically to children with heart disorders and other chronic diseases. See Additional Resources to learn more about all of these options.

Tourism and offshore banking are the mainstays of the small open Aruban economy. Oil refining and storage ended in 2009. The rapid growth of the tourism sector over the last decade has resulted in a substantial expansion of other activities. Over 1.5 million tourists per year visit Aruba with 75% of those from the US. Construction continues to boom with hotel capacity five times the 1985 level. Tourist arrivals rebounded strongly following a dip after the 11 September 2001 attacks. Aruba is heavily dependent on imports and is making efforts to expand exports to achieve a more desirable trade balance. The government has also made cutting the budget and international development high priorities.

Exede satellite internet has revolutionized the rural broadband landscape in Jay, Oklahoma.
Prior to Exede, customers had a choice
between dial-up internet and older-technology satellite internet service. The speeds for dial-up were 56 Kbps and the
maximum residential download speed was 2.0 Mbps. Compare that to true the high speed internet options that you get with
Exede. Most rural residents of Jay will now be able to receive 12 Mbps download speeds
(comparable to cable internet). This is
known as the exede12 package. For others, in the most remote of areas of Jay, Oklahoma,
there is now the exede5 package with download speeds up to 5 Mbps.
And the best part? The price. Starting at $49.99/month, Exede is priced the same or LESS than what
users were paying before for much slower internet access.
And no matter what package you select, you will get the same super-fast speeds - you just select how much bandwidth you need each
Check out what you can do with Exede:
Important Notice
As of August 18, 2013, the WildBlue/Exede Recovery Act package is no longer available. This U.S. government-funded program has come to an end.
If you are a WildBlue/Exede customer with the Recovery Act plan, you will continue to receive service at the guaranteed rate for as long as you remain a customer and choose to remain on a Recovery Act plan.
These web pages remain available as a convenience to WildBlue/Exede customers with a Recovery Act plan.
All details on the Exede Recovery Act program have not been released yet, but we do know that there are going to be a
range of reduced prices and plans to choose from. ViaSat, the parent corporation of Exede is also the parent company
of WildBlue Satellite Internet. Both providers (ViaSat Exede and WildBlue) are participating in the U.S. Recovery Act Program.

Professor Rodríguez-Iturbe discusses new fish diversity model
Posted May 7, 2008; 12:55 p.m.
This interview is based on a paper published in the journal Nature on May 8, 2008. Read more
Video Closed Captions
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
I am a hydrologist, which basically means that I deal with the movement
of water in landscapes.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
The dynamics of water have a commanding effect on the biodiversity
of fish in river networks.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
River networks are fractals. And fractals are this type of mathematical
construct in which the parts and the whole cannot be distinguished
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
from one another. River networks are fractals. Lightning is fractal.
Trees are fractals. Clouds are fractals.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
To the untrained eye they may look very different but there is an
enormous amount of unity in this infinite diversity.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
In a river basin the channel network fragments the space. And its character
as a fractal implies, among other things,
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
that the laws that govern the structure of that network are the same
regardless of whether the river basin is small or large
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
or is in Venezuela or is in the United States or is in Africa. It is very
different than in a savanna.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
In a savanna -- seeds, animals, people move through a space that is
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
What we have done, really, is a mathematical model implemented in
a computer.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
We merged different sets of existing data from the Mississippi-Missouri
river basin. It is a fantastically simple model.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
But it predicts wonderfully well all of the biodiversity characteristics that
we are interested in studying.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
From the practical side, it provides us a link to the changes in biodiversity
one can expect from external things like climate change.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
Another aspect is the impact that manmade structures like dams will
have in biodiversity.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
From the science point of view, river basins are crucial depositories of
biodiversity, of energy resources, and human populations.
Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe:
We need to understand how the different dynamics that act on them
influence each other.

The National Gallery of Australia dedicates this exhibition, No ordinary place, to the memory of David Malangi Daymirriŋu (1927–1999).
Travelling exhibition itinerary
Download education resource (pdf
Family introduction
We are very happy to introduce this exhibition and book about David Malangi.
It's been a long journey: the planning it's been going for several years – from the time when our old man was alive. It's got to the stage where we finally got somewhere and it's now come to completion, in celebration of our father.
A lot of effort has been put in by a lot of different people: Susan Jenkins, Nigel Lendon, Djon Mundine, Margie West, Bula'bula Arts (Louise Partos and Belinda Scott) as well as the support of the Director of the National Gallery, Brian Kennedy and Senior Curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, Brenda L Croft.
This exhibition is very important to us. It shows fully the work the old man did during that [life] time as a painter and clan leader, becoming recognised by people all around the world. Even though he passed away, his work still lives on. He didn't take it with him but left it for generations. Members of our family are painting now – Richard Birrinbirrin, John Dhurrikayu, Valda Balmapalma, Shirley Daymirriŋu, Anita Ganbuganbu and May Yamangarra. We are so proud that his type of work is being made and when we pass away, it will be continued by the next generation through painting and continuing that story. Richard Birrinbirrin is now the clan leader for Manharrŋu people in his role as the primary singer and as a spokesperson for Manharrŋu people. He is the chief interpreter of Manharrŋu societal and legal issues. John Weluk is more involved in the ceremony than painting and also negotiations in Balanda rom [law, custom ] – a liaison between Yolŋu ga [and] Balanda.
Malangi was a very clever man. He had good thinking. He never forgot about sending his children to school. Even in mission time, he put the children to school. He sent them back to the mission for school. He wanted his children to have a good education. A generation of us went to Dhupuma, which is like a boarding high school for Yolŋu near Yirrkala in north-east Arnhem Land (Birrinbirrin, Weluk, Jacky Munyirrirr, Jimmy Banambur, Dick Milirrurr). That old man grew us up to be clever people. That's what comes from this intense education we were given. Our younger generation also had a good education in Darwin at Bachelor College and Nungalinya College (Shirley Daymirriŋu, May Yamangarra).
Over many years members of our extended family have held strong positions in our community. Birrinbirrin trained as a health worker, and is now Chairman of Bula'bula Arts, Milirrurr is a lay minister with the Uniting Church, Weluk was the Ramingining bank agent as well as an ATSIC regional councillor, Shirley Daymirriŋu is a health worker with the Ramingining Clinic, Neville Gulaygulay was a school teacher, a Council works supervisor, a Ramingining Resource worker (airline agent) and now works with Australian Quarantine in Darwin. Dhurrikayu and Yamangarra have worked with Ramingining Council and Ramingining Arts and Crafts and Bula'bula Arts in administration and both have served on the Executive Committee of Bula'bula Arts. Jimmy Banambur was the President of Bagot Community Council in Darwin for a number of years. Anita and Valda haven't worked in this way, but they do have the Yolŋu and Manharrŋu knowledge expressed through painting. This education – Yolŋu and Balanda – was our father's legacy.
The old man's wives, the Balmbi women, are the senior traditional owners of the Balmbi country and stories. They have also worked as artists for many years and are renowned weavers from the outstations Yathalamarra and Naŋalala. When the old man painted at home, the women would be working alongside him making beautiful objects with fibre like dilly bags, baskets, mats, sculptures and ceremonial items. Elsie Ganbada, Judy Baypuŋala, Margaret Gindjimirri and Rosie Wurdam carry on their artistic practice today, continuing the strong artistic tradition of the Malangi mob.
The old man passed the knowledge to us, the Manharrŋu as well as the Balmbi. The message is that it's important that we paint our own totems, our own stories. Say for instance, nginibi, we want to paint the country. We have to stick to our area. We're not going to step into another area, for which we don't have permission. That's the way Yolŋu's [law] been, it's like Land Rights – you have to ask permission: 'Can I go to your land? Do some hunting there?' If they say yes, okay.
This book, these type of books are being written down by people who have been working and living with Yolŋu; they understand Yolŋu rom. Yolŋu law is not that different to Balanda – it's the same values and has to be looked at properly.
All people have cultures and beliefs, different backgrounds. It's going to take a long time but maybe in a few years we hope it's going to change people's minds – a lot of people and politics to change politicians' minds.
When Malangi got that medal, some of his children were only young, five or six or seven years old. We got a shock. It had meaning, some kind of recognition from the Reserve Bank as the first Yolŋu man, the first Indigenous man to get recognition for the ownership of his design. It paved the way for other Aboriginal people with copyright. We were surprised, pleased too when that old man became a Doctor of Laws. We were proud when we took him to Canberra to receive the award. We were proud, really proud. After he passed away, mobs of ATSIC and other government agencies came to pay tribute to him.
Yes we are proud.

This project engages students in the science and engineering processes used by NASA astrobiologists as they explore our Solar System and try to answer the compelling question, "Are we Alone?" Students will identify science mission goals and select... (View More) an astrobiologically-significant target of interest: Mars, Europa, Enceladus or Titan. Students will then design their mission to this target in search of their chosen biosignature(s). Students will encounter the same considerations and challenges facing NASA scientists and engineers as they search for life in our Solar System. Students will need to balance the return of their science data with engineering limitations such as power, mass and budget. Risk factors play a role and will add to the excitement in this interactive science and engineering activity. Astrobiobound! will help students see how science and systems engineering are integrated to achieve a focused scientific goal.

Every Troop has its traditions, customs, and special awards and recognition. I thought I would share with you a special award that our Troop does every year. This is my favorite award of the year and I take a great deal of pleasure in presenting this at our Court of Honor after Summer camp.
We call it the "Bobby Walker Award". It is named after a Scout that used to be in our Troop. Now without going into to much detail on Bobby, lets just say that Bobby had a hard knock life. Close your eyes for a minute and imagine a truly hard knock life… ok then now you get it. Bobby was brought to us by a sponsor from an organization in Portland. They were looking for some "other experiences" for Bobby to see and do. Well, much to everyone's surprise Bobby took to Scouting like he was Baden-Powell son. He loved everything about it. He had a uniform, he had friends, he loved to camp and hang out with his new buddies, but most of all.. He LOVED Summer camp! When we arrived at Summer camp, Bobby fully immersed his whole being into the camp. He would work merit badges, spend lots of time at the water front (he learned to swim at summer camp), he loved the camp fires, the songs and skits, well… just everything that summer camp is supposed to be. The week at summer camp for Babby Walker was like a week in heaven.
After one particular summer camp I was so moved by watching Bobby over the week that we (the ASMs and I) decided to give him a special award. So I purchased one of those Boy Scout memorabilia boxes from the Scout shop and we presented it to him at the Court of Honor. We called it the Spirit of Summer camp award that year.
The next year Bobby had to leave our Troop. There was no good byes or reasons why, his sponsor just showed up without him one meeting night and with a tear in his eye told me that Bobby was "moving on". I never asked any more about it, but it saddened me.
So the next year at camp the Troop and I decided that the award would be called the Bobby Walker award. Awarded to the Scout that demonstrated the best of what Summer camp is all about. To the Scout that immersed himself into the camp. Each year we give a Scout memorabilia box to the most deserving Scout as voted by the Assistant Scoutmasters and I.
This has become a great tradition in our Troop and each year the Scouts look forward to seeing who gets the Bobby Walker award. It is also a great opportunity to share the story with the Scouts to remind them that they are the lucky ones. I'll do a post on that another time.
So what are some of the traditions and special recognitions of your Troop. Leave them in the comments section.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Panasonic RP-HJE120-K In-Ear Earbud Ergo-Fit Headphone (Black)
"This is gonna be a simple review BASS For a $7 in ear it is actually really good. A little overbearing at times but quite articulate considering the price. MIDS They are not airy and vocals by no means sound lifelike but they are clear and not muddied by the elevated bass. HIGHS This is where this in ear does not shine. It is extremely recessed around the 10kHz to 14kHz range so..." --JAMEZTHEBOI
Panasonic RP-HJE355-K High Fidelity Ergo-Fit Inner Ear Earbud Headphone Black
" I bought this and the JVC HA-FX40 at around the same price($20 each). I like this for the better behaved highs, overall slight warmth, and what seems like a slightly better build quality.

Panasonic RP-HJE450-K
" The sound reminds me of the PX100. It is warm and detailed, with plenty of bass. It has more bass impact but less detail than the HJE355. The HJE355 also has better detail, better highs, and seems to isolate better. I bought the HJE450 before I bought the HJE355. Even though the HJE450 is good, I prefer the less expensive HJE355.
