(Cross-posted on the Google Retail and Google Commerce blogs)
The people we know and trust have a big influence on our purchase decisions. I bought the chef's knife I use every day on the recommendation of my friend Eliot, who more than knows his way around the kitchen. And I always try to bring my friend Brian along when I'm music shopping, since he has a knack for pointing out great albums I've never heard of.
We're excited about the +1 button because it brings these personal recommendations to a place where many purchase decisions start — the Google search results page.
Adding +1 buttons to your product pages makes it easy for your customers to recommend the products they love on your site with a single click. And thanks to recent improvements to the +1 button, they can take the conversation even further by sharing your products right away on Google+.
From there, +1 annotations can help your products stand out. Potential customers might see +1's from their friends and contacts on your search ads, your organic Google Search results, or even on your page itself.
We've worked with Bazaarvoice and PowerReviews to make it even easier to get the +1 button on your pages. Both companies have extensive experience in social commerce, and can help you develop the right strategy for implementing +1 buttons on your site.
Looking for a couple examples of retailers using +1 to help their products stand out on Google search? Jockey (working with PowerReviews) and Golfsmith (working with Bazaarvoice) have already added +1 buttons to the product pages on their sites.
If you'd prefer to add the +1 button to pages yourself, it's easy to do. Just install a small snippet of code wherever you want the +1 button to appear. For advanced implementation FAQs and documentation, you can visit the +1 button page on Google Code.
As more retailers add +1 buttons to their sites, we're excited about how much more helpful search results will get. The next time I need a new frying pan, I won't need to call Eliot up — his recommendation will be right there waiting for me.

Updated 7am PST to include updates on China and Australia.
In 2011, we are committed to making Google Product Search an even better shopping experience for our users. Our goal is for shoppers to quickly and easily find the information they need on Google Product Search – and in turn to send more shoppers to our merchants.
To support this effort, we're announcing a number of changes to the Google Product Search Feed Specification and Policies. Starting on September 22, 2011 we will be taking action against accounts with feeds targeting the United States, France, United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany that do not comply with the new specification and policy requirements. We will be sending emails to those accounts with feeds targeting China, Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain, with more information about changes in those countries.
Summary of Changes
We are confident that the new feed specifications will have a strong impact on the user experience. Below are several examples of how the feed spec is changing in the United States; please note that other countries have slightly different requirements:
Merchant Resources
Below you'll find the new feed specification and policies and resources to help you prepare for these changes.
We will also provide a video with a more in-depth look at the changes soon. Check back for more information.
Enforcing the new Product Search Feed Requirements and Policies
After September 22, 2011, we will be taking action against accounts with feeds targeting the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and France that do not comply with our policies (please review the policy document referenced above for details). Note these changes only apply to Google Product Search – not to Google product ad formats or Google Commerce Search.

However, based on feedback we've received from merchants, we are extending the deadline until September 1, allowing you more time to modify your data feeds. We are also permitting estimates for tax/shipping information. However, we recommend reviewing the submission options and submitting the most accurate information that you can, as this ensures the best experience for shoppers.
Here is a summary of what's changing:
For Feeds Targeting the United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany: The June 6 deadline for providing shipping information has been extended to September 1.
For Feeds Targeting the United States: The June 6 deadline for providing tax information has been extended to September 1.

As we announced in December, the Google Base API will soon be decommissioned, and current Google Base API users are encouraged to migrate to the new Shopping APIs as soon as possible. Below you'll find an updated timeline for the Base API deprecation and resources to guide you through the transition.
Updated Timeline
As of June 1, users will no longer be able to create a new Google Base account. However, current Base API users will have a one month grace period to continue using the Base API until July 1. After July 1, users will no longer be able to submit or access content through the Base API. The login at base.google.com will be removed as of June 1.

There are four key benefits for retailers who upload product feeds:
Free, Qualified Traffic through Google Product Search, a shopping search engine that helps consumers discover product information, compare prices and find a retailer from whom they can make a purchase. This is free traffic to your retail website, which you can only benefit from by submitting a product feed.
Richer AdWords Formats such as product extensions use the product feed to automatically display your products within AdWords ads where relevant.
Improve On-Site Conversion with Google Commerce Search. Commerce Search leverages your product feed and innovations of Google.com to deliver a powerful search and discovery experience on your e-commerce site. Among other things, Google Commerce Search provides an interactive shopping experience – which includes features like automated promotions and instant results – found only on the top retail websites, as well as a powerful merchandising suite that helps you integrate business goals and adapt to market dynamics.
Reach Mobile Shoppers through Google Shopper, our shopping application for Android and iPhone, Shopping for Mobile, our shopping website, and Google Commerce Search on your mobile website. On-the-go shoppers will be able to discover goods you submit in your product feed.
To take advantage of the unique features associated with the merchant feed, first submit your product data feed at the Google Merchant Center and then explore the hyperlinks listed above.

If you're already submitting a feed to the Google Merchant Center and you'd like to reach more customers in these countries, you don't need to create a new account. Just create a new feed for each country, and make sure it complies complies with our policies. Then, when registering your feed, choose the target country from the drop-down menu. If you're a new merchant, we recommend reading the "Getting Started" articles in our Help Center.
In conjunction with Google Shopping, retailers that choose to advertise their product catalogue can now do so through AdWords product extensions in these countries as well. Product extensions use the product information submitted by the retailer and automatically displays this information within ads, where relevant. To learn more about product extensions, visit our AdWords Help Center.
Happy shopping!

Back in December, we announced that on June 1, 2011, the Google Base Data API will be decommissioned and it will no longer be possible to submit or access content through the Base API.
To replace the Base API, we've introduced two new Shopping APIs: Content API and Search API. If you currently use the Base API for managing your products on Google Product Search, you should prepare for the June 1 change by migrating to the new APIs as soon as possible. These resources will guide you through the transition:
If you are a retailer using Google Commerce Search to power search and navigation on your e-commerce site, you will also need to ensure that you are fully migrated over to the new Shopping APIs by June 1. In addition to the documentation above, please also make note of the Migration Guide for Google Commerce Search. Furthermore, if you require any technical support, please submit a request through the Support Portal.

Last month, we announced a few upcoming changes to merchant feed requirements for Google Product Search listings. This is a reminder that on May 3, we'll begin requiring unique identifiers for all products (except apparel and one-of-a-kind items) for feeds targeting the US, UK, France, and Germany. After May 3, products without unique identifiers may not be listed on Google Product Search. As you're preparing for the May 3 data requirement, keep in mind that on June 6, additional data requirements will also take effect. View the original blog post to learn more and get a head start on these changes.

If you've ever spent your Saturday calling different stores or driving around town in search of one specific product, then it probably occurred to you that there must be a better way. Today we're announcing Local Product Availability on Google Place Pages – a new feature that automatically brings your offline catalog to the web, letting customers view your products and search your local inventory on your Place Page before visiting your store.
When you provide Google with local product availability data, your Google Place Page will now automatically include a new section, 'Popular products available at this store', featuring five popular products along with price and local availability. For shoppers unfamiliar with your business, this section shows the types of products available in your store.
If shoppers are looking for a specific item, they can click 'Search within this store' to search your product inventory to see if a particular item is in stock nearby.
Getting started
To automatically display local product availability on your Google Place page, you'll need to first share local availability data with Google through a Merchant Center account and claim your a Google Place page. For instructions on sharing local product availability with Google, read this Help Center article. Learn how to claim your Google Place page here.

As we announced on the Official Google Blog, we've just launched the third-generation of Google Commerce Search – our search solution for e-commerce websites. For the many retailers already submitting their product data feeds to Google via Product Search, our solution may be an interesting consideration for powering search and browse capabilities on your website.
Google Commerce Search uses your existing product search data feed to power a relevant and completely customizable search experience on your e-commerce website. In fact customers like Woodcraft Supply, HealthWarehouse.com and BabyAge.com have all leveraged this exact data feed to quickly improve their web experience and deliver strong business returns – in the case of Woodcraft.com increasing search revenues 34%.
With the new release, we're making shopping more interactive, introducing multi-channel product discovery, and providing sophisticated tools to help retailers manage the shopping experience on their site.
Here are some of the cool new features in this release:
With this release we're also welcoming three new retail partners: Forever21, General Nutrition Company (GNC) and L'Occitane. GNC implemented Google Commerce Search in less than a week on their mobile website, while Forever 21 and L'Occitane are currently working to implement various new features of GCS, such as Search as You Type and Local Product Availability. Here's what Christine Burke, VP of International E-Commerce at cosmetics staple L'Occitane had to say about GCS 3.0:
"L'Occitane is unique in that our beauty products center around ingredients – such as lavender, shea butter and verbena. As our customers visit our re-designed website to shop and research our products, we are excited about the speed and accuracy of on-site search results that will be provided to us through Google Commerce Search. We are also very excited about the potential of the new local inventory feature, which can help us connect our customers with their favorite products in one of our 170 US boutiques."
Learn how you can provide the latest in retail technology on your website with Google Commerce Search. Sign up for our upcoming webinar (details below). You'll hear from Nitin Mangtani, Group Product Manager, in conversation with Google Commerce Search customers about how these new features are transforming retail for the better.

Ole Bjerg (Making Money) doesn't believe the classic "commodity" accounts of the rise of money, found in both Adam Smith and Marx. Both posit an original barter economy that is made more efficient by the introduction of a commodity that is used as a medium of exchange.
Bjerg has several problems with this. There's the "aporetic" character of the theory: Suppose gold is the chosen standard of value; how is gold's value measured? It cannot be by the value of gold. Most have suggested some inherent value in gold (Marx argued for an aesthetic value), which leads to other oddities: The medium of exchange by which the economy runs must stand outside the economy to make it run.
He also argues that the classical account doesn't fit the historical facts. Anthropologists have yet to find a pure barter economy. Media of exchange seem always to be already there.
And, there's the fact that the standard account minimizes the role of the state in creating money. He refers to the "chatalist" theory of money by which "Money is a creature of law" and thus "the soul of currency is not in the material of the pieces, but in the legal ordinances which regulate their use" (101). By this theory, money "does not have to rely on a general desire for the real qualities of the money object. Even in a state where gold coins are proclaimed to be legal tender, the value of these coins does not necessarily depend on whether people are generally interested in gold as such. It is enough that they are generally interested in not being thrown into prison for failing to pay their taxes" (102-3).
This has further implications: The demand for money is not generated by the value of the community that serves as money, but by the state determination of the medium of exchange. Desire for money follows rather than leads the establishment of the institution of money. And, since money and markets arise together, the chartalist theory suggests that markets, like money, depends on the state (103).
Money, he argues, depends on trust, or at least imputed trust: "Even if the Federal Reserve did have enough gold reserves on hand to back every dollar in circulation (which it does not), the decisive point is still not the actual conversion of US dollars into gold, but the general belief that everyone else believes in the value of the US dollar and thus accepts it as a means of exchange, a means of debt payment and a store of value" (156). Money is an act of faith.
Bjerg's book is thick with Heidegger and Zizek, but in its best moments it's a stimulating exploration of a neglected area, the "philosophy of money."

Things don�t always go to plan...
Left our hotel at 5am in the morning for one of 2 daily buses out of Uvita, got attacked by a swarm of bees outside of our room and escaped cursing and with Anna sporting 2 decent-sized stings.
20 minutes down the road, the bus stopped because of an accident only 2 vehicles in front. There was a dead guy lying in the middle of the road who had come off a motorbike after colliding with a truck. No helmet, so you can imagine it wasn�t a pretty scene
First thing our bus driver did was try to drive past the body through the streams of blood (tyre tracks showed he wasn�t the first one to do this). He was stopped from doing this, so he parked up the bus, yelled "vamanos!" (let�s go!) to the passengers and they joined the growing crowd staring at the corpse.
The police arrived and covered the body which was an improvement, but people were standing all around the accident scene as if they were watching a movie. It was grotesque. Later, the mother was standing there crying too.
The whole experience went from bad to worse as the police dragged the body bag onto the back of the pickup truck. One of them fell off the back of the truck and just about hit his head on the road - luckily his colleague�s quick reactions saved him.
Over 3 hours later (very hot and bothered), we were on the road again. By this stage, we didn�t know if we would make the ferry connection to the National Park, so having had an awful day in Costa Rica we decided to go to Panama instead!
Easy border crossing, and people so much friendlier and more helpful in Panama we felt that we had made the right choice immediately. We were also cheered by the shared minibus complete with a pink feather boa draped around the windscreen and pictures of Jesus, Mary and an anonymous blonde with very little clothing.
Stayed at a friendly, dilapidated, cheap hotel in an excellent location in David. Our double bed resembled a hammock more than a bed, but Anna still had a great sleep...
The city had a beautiful climate and we really enjoyed watching a movie and of course dinner!
Caught up on some banking and other administration in the morning, and took a bus to some hot springs in the afternoon. They were situated on a private farm where the farm owner was suggesting we might want our picture taken with his prize buffalo for a small fee. Errrr.....no thanks, that thing weighs more than my entire family so I�d rather keep my distance.
The springs were in the shallow of the river, hot water bubbling up to mix with the refreshing cool, clear water of the river. Fantastic after a hilly and dusty walk in a landscape resembling outback Australia. A local guy talked at us for about 30 minutes, and as listening wasn�t really in his skill set he probably doesn�t know to this day that we had little idea what he was on about.
Managed a visit to nearby Boquete in the highlands outside the city of David on the way home. A nice enough place, but it is in the process of being taken over by American and other retirees. You can imagine that this changes the character of a place immensely.
Our highlight of the day was hearing Panamanian popular folk music for the first time. A unique blend of Mexican melodies, salsa-type rhythms plus a distinctive vocal style which resembled yodelling at times, we found this the most original music we had heard in all this trip to date.

Xinet 19 is here
and it's better than ever.
Xinet 19 is here
and it's better than ever.
Xinet 19 is a more powerful digital supply chain for creative content.
Learn more:
Xinet: Dynamic Digital Asset Management
As today's world becomes increasingly more digital, it is imperative to have a robust and streamlined Digital Supply Chain for the creation and management of marketing materials.
Xinet is a powerful Digital Asset Management System (DAM) that offers companies an efficient way of organising, collaborating on and distributing their rich media assets.
With Xinet, companies as well as design teams and creative agencies now have a creative asset management platform that is intuitive and reliable to manage all versions of their digital assets. Managers have clear insight on the creative process and an excellent overview of all available content.
Developed by product domain experts, Xinet offers a wealth of feature functions complemented by a highly experienced partner community network. Feature highlights from our latest release Xinet 19, can be seen below.
Already using our creative workflow management software, Xinet, and need your questions answered? Current customers can visit Xinet Online Support.
- Ingest
- Manage
- Search
- Distribute
Bulk upload of files and folders via drag and drop
Optimized for rapid ingestion of millions of assets instantaneously, Xinet always stays in sync, even in environments with very heavy traffic and constantly changing assets and categories. While Xinet enabled users to upload hundreds of files to a standard web browser, our optimized media browser application, Xinet Pilot, even supports Drag and Drop uploads of multiple folders.
Automatic Metadata tagging and extraction
Control Metadata reading and writing as a natural part of the ingest process. Xinet provides a simple way to include metadata with every file. Optionally, you can configure a user's permissions to ensure that metadata is entered for any file delivered to Xinet. When a user attempts to upload a file that doesn't contain the required metadata, Xinet will request that the metadata is provided. Xinet supports batch metadata tagging for hundreds of files as part of the upload process. Alternatively, existing metadata, set on a job folder can be automatically associated to any asset that is made part of that job.
Unmatched ingestion speeds
Fast, predictive and accurate data ingestion is key for a Digital Assset Management System. Xinet has been benchmarked to ingest an incredible 40.000 assets per hour (this includes the data record creation, preview generation and metadata extraction)
Instant preview generation and metadata extraction
Xinet simultaneously manages your high resolution digital assets whilst generating automatic quick color accurate previews for virtually any professional still image, document or video file as well as extracting any embedded XMP metadata associated with the ingested files. Xinet features outstanding preview generation. Any WEB preview generated by Xinet is true WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get). This includes most Adobe files including Illustrator, most Photoshop formats and PDFs (PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4).
Natural file relationships stay. Without any user interaction
Xinet dynamically offers a visual presentation of all files in which an asset is currently being used, and all assets within a particular document, while providing easy access for quick edits or modifications. All of this is done automatically as part of the ingestion process. No manual user interaction, such as linking files, is required.
Unmatched, transparent Adobe integration
Designers who depend on Adobe products in the workplace can rely on Xinet to provide controlled access to assets, without having to change the way they have always worked with Adobe files. Without ever leaving the layout application, designers can search for assets and drag them directly to a layout—with simple, efficient navigation.
There is no requirement to ever leave the layout application, designers can search for assets – with simple, efficient navigation and drag them directly to a layout. Users with local network access to Xinet place artwork directly from a built-in file service, just like they would do from their local desktop.
Simple Barrier-free access to your assets
Increase design studio productivity by providing quick and barrier free access to assets for quick, last minute changes. By simply right-clicking on an asset thumbnail in a Xinet Pilot palette the built-in contextual menu options enable Xinet users to open an asset directly in its originating desktop application, without navigating to the asset's filesystem location
Increase efficiency in the workflow with time-saving workflow automation.
Managed at the administrative level, this versatile feature offers a method for establishing Triggers that initiate Actions in Xinet to automate simple and complex workflows. Individual tasks like sending email notifications for approved assets, adding metadata to a file, or moving a completed job folder to an archive area are handled automatically by Xinet—24/7
Apply business rules filters to control access to your assets
Control content access at the individual and group level based on file, folder name, status or metadata filters. By applying a multi layer logic, such as e.g. setting a metadata field to particular value or using dedicated filename conventions, assets can be hidden out of a client's view, without having to change the internal workflow.
Configurable Metadata Templates and Permissions
Xinet was designed to deliver faster search for very large and constantly changing file repositories and to provide the ability to create metadata templates and assign permissions that suit your individual requirements. Individual metadata templates and permission sets are configurable by anyone without the need for a database administrator.
XMP integration
Xinet makes Adobe XMP metadata available to users worldwide by automatically reading and enabling its editing for any Adobe file, including InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Bridge—even for users without access to the source files. Users can view set metadata in their native applications, search for it in the database, and view and set it directly from a web browser. Automatic metadata handling comes standard with Xinet.
Version Control
Standardize the creation and management of multiple file versions to enhance productivity and reduce error. Save versions of in-process documents automatically, without the need for complicated file naming conventions, overwriting the original document or granting access to older file versions to unapproved users. You set the parameters for automation—and Xinet does the rest.
Visually search, browse and find assets from a central location
Built around Apache's Solr search server, Xinet provides a user friendly and robust searching experience. Advanced Search allows you to combine several metadata fields and asset properties, as well as an asset's audit trail to built very powerful search queries.
Combine a familiar folder hierarchy, with metadata facets to find and access your assets faster
For Xinet users requiring access to assets for editing purposes Xinet is a dream. Whereas most DAMs have cumbersome check-in/check-out procedures, Xinet is the only Digital Asset Management system with a built-in file service that is constantly synchronized to provide file access in the format users are familar with. Through the application of a combination of metadata filters, users are able to find assets really quickly and this is integral to Xinet's high user adoption rate. The beauty of Xinet for creative users, who are used to working within folder structures, is that they don't have to change their workflow at all.
Full text searching in all supported formats (including Adobe files)
Text content search is supported for all supported file formats. This includes text based formats such as Office files or PDFs, as well as Adobe Files, CAD files or HTML files.
View Video content easily, without the need to download any file
Xinet supports video, audio and HTML files from a secure, central
location and enables users around the globe to search for, view, annotate, approve
and distribute these assets from a web browser. Simplify video and scene identification
through key frame previews, even after assets have been archived.
Customizable user interface
Xinet's out-of-the-box web interface can be customized to match your brand and / or corporate identity. Xinet Portal uses modern web technology such as bootstrap, HTML5 and jQuery, to enable web designers to tailor the user interface.
Edit and share asset collections
Xinet collections allow users to select a group of assets, manually one-by-one, or add all visible content to a collection. An asset collection could be downloaded, converted, edited or simply shared. An open Plug-In architecture enables third party developpers to create their own Collection Plug-Ins.
Use Online annotations to to enhance local and remote collaboration
Using Annotations enhance local and remote review collaboration through centralized document mark-up. Zoom into any supported file format (up to 2500%), including single and multipage documents such as InDesign, Illustrator, Office, PDFs and even Video keyframes.
Manage digital rights to protect your content
Xinet provides a way to control the use of your assets by specifying a range of usage dates—by day, month, year, even down to the minute. Once an asset is expired, it gets locked in the system and it can not be output by any user, to any device.
Distribute to and integrate existing software via powerful APIs
With a widely open architecture, including a RESTful API, Xinet has been designed from the ground up to enable our experienced international partner network with extensive deployment and integration expertise, to integrate Xinet with existing solutions (CMS, PIMs, ERPs, etc..).
Xinet is not a silo. A comprehensive eco-system has been established over the lifetime of the product. Integration partners, software vendors and third party developers have built a comprehensive list of tools to extend Xinet's feature set.
Integrated PDF workflow engine
Xinet offers a reliable way for off-site production users working primarily with FPO images to generate PDF documents in which special effects that modify an image, such as transparency, are preserved. Add PDF Image Replacement to remote workflows for simple and efficient image exchange.

He could not play a full part during England's World Cup training camp in Portugal earlier this month, but his recovery process has now hit the accelerator.
And Ashton also believes the time Ward-Smith spent working with renowned knee injuries expert Bill Knowles in America is a significant contributory factor.
Ashton said: "I am delighted with Dan. Not that long ago it looked less than 50-50 for him, but he is back in and doing full training with full contact.
"The work he did in the USA has pushed him along really, really well.
"Dan is a determined character, and once he saw a tiny little bit of light at the end of the tunnel then he has really gone for it.
"Going across to America and having specialist one-on-one attention - added to his determination - has accelerated his progress quite dramatically. He is an incredibly fit athlete."
But while Ward-Smith's World Cup prospects have brightened considerably, Gloucester centre Mike Tindall continues on the long road back to full fitness.
Ashton believes it is "highly unlikely" 2003 World Cup-winner Tindall will be in contention for England's warm-up clash with Wales at Twickenham on August 4.
That would then leave the Gloucester centre with just one more game - against France at the same venue seven days later - before Ashton announces his 30-man World Cup squad on August 14.
Tindall, who has won more than 50 caps, is recovering from a broken leg suffered during Gloucester's Guinness Premiership clash against Newcastle in April when he collided with England colleague Toby Flood.
Ashton added: "We probably need to make some sort of call over the next couple of weeks.
"It is ongoing rehab with Mike, but of all the players who are currently rehabbing he is well behind the others.
"It is highly unlikely the way things are at the moment that he will be fit for the Wales game."

More about Teen Summer Community Service Programs with VISIONS
Since 1989 VISIONS has set the standard for teen volunteer summer travel programs. Our high school programs, as well as middle school travel programs, offer the best community service experiences available to teens and pre-teens. Cultural immersion, Spanish and French language immersion, travel adventures and summer exploration are woven into all of VISIONS community service programs. Among teen summer camps, teen travel abroad, youth summer service programs and international adventures for high school students, VISIONS has ranked among the best quality and integrity for more than 27 years.
VISIONS teens live in the heart of a host community, rooted in a very new, and meaningful cross-cultural experience that surpass the superficial. Our hosts for youth summer programs throughout South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and the United States welcome our teen volunteers, sharing their lives and views of life. High school volunteers, as well as younger students in our middle school travel programs, learn about, do and see things never before imagined. Lasting friendships form spontaneously with other teens (and pre-teens), local hosts and summer leaders.
Days of real community service and close camaraderie in a cross-cultural setting have a substance that pushes our student volunteers to tap into their leadership potential as the group works together toward common goals. VISIONS teenagers experience organic cultural immersion, foreign language (Spanish and French) opportunities, and adventurous travel and exploration, returning home with genuine appreciation for our multi-cultural world and confidence as global citizens.
Everything in VISIONS youth summer programs, the degree of our success, depends on teamwork. We are interdependent, alternately supporting and leaning on each other. We live together simply, work together, explore and play together, and enjoy our shared experience. Your time with VISIONS will entail much more than just a teen summer travel experience—you will be immersed in a new culture and living and working alongside our local friends.
VISIONS was established in 1988 as a kind of Peace Corps service opportunity for teens. Our mission has not changed but has grown and flourished through decades of experience, earning VISIONS a reputation of highest quality summer programs in the field. We work hard to meet service goals planned with host communities in response to needs that they identify. While construction projects are keystones of each site, every service program location incorporates non-construction service, too. Exploration and summer travel are woven into the experience as the days progress.
Students spend five days per week engaging in community service. Our partners are local and national governments, nonprofits, outreach and charitable organizations, schools, and community-minded individuals. In some teen summer program locations, our partners plan service projects in stages, several progressive seasons ahead, confident in VISIONS high standards and our teens' leadership capabilities.
Of equal if not greater value is the authentic cross-cultural experience: the close relationships with individuals in the communities in which we live and work.
Summer program planning occurs during the off-season. Often we know the next season's projects before the current summer season ends. Most volunteer projects are developed during winter months through regular communication with our partners in the field and personal visits to the sites before the summer.
Every VISIONS program undertakes a ground-up construction project. Students learn technical skills from staff carpenters and local project managers. Our teens break into small teams on a daily basis in order to work at the service projects.
VISIONS incorporates sustainable development and environmental projects by building greenhouses, irrigation canals, cisterns, potable water systems and compost latrines, low-impact walkways through protected lands, and fish and endangered species hatcheries.
Each of our youth summer programs includes non-construction service work, too, such as internships with micro-businesses, farmers, artisans, health workers, and others. We create and paint murals for community buildings. VISIONS teens volunteer with children in day camps and tutoring activities, and assist with the elderly, orphaned or disabled.
Cross-cultural learning is a core focus. Our high school students, and middle school students, share work sites, meals, recreation and down time with folks who have become close friends over the course of many summers.
Programs also have the methods and opportunities for a variety of dialogues with native speakers. Spanish and French programs offer constant language immersion that increases foreign language speaking skills and builds upon the cultural experience. Your summer leaders help build bridges by interpreting, clarifying, practicing with language games, and incorporating language immersion opportunities.
In VISIONS there is always time to play and wind down, and plenty of adventure camp-like activities. Teen travel adventures abroad and teen summer exploration are not lost on a VISIONS international or U.S. community service program. VISIONS summer programs offer a splendid variety of afternoon and weekend travel adventures, and explorations of scenery, geography, wildlife and history.
Depending on the location, recreation activities include rock or ice climbing, wilderness backpacking and hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving, sea kayaking, rainforest zip-lining, rafting, horseback riding, whale watching, underground cave exploration and always sightseeing.
VISIONS is not a typical teen adventure camp, teen tour, travel adventures abroad program, or summer camp. It is a wholly experiential learning experience with a purpose in a real life setting of continuous discovery and constant rewards.
VISIONS Service Adventures offers youth summer programs for high school students 14 to 18, and middle school travel programs for students aged 12 to 14. VISIONS blends ambitious community service, culture and language immersion, exploration and adventure in:
- Alaska
- Montana
- Mississippi Gulf Coast
- Dominican Republic
- British Virgin Islands
- Guadeloupe
- Nicaragua
- Ecuador & Galapagos
- Peru
- Cambodia
- Myanmar (Burma)
If you are a high school student or middle school student seeking a rewarding, life changing summer of community service, culture immersion, and adventurous exploration, consider VISIONS. Speak to our references. They will confirm that VISIONS offers the best, highest quality community service, cross-cultural summer program for youth.

Where I stayed
Aphrodite Beach Hotel Latchi
Read my review - 5/5 stars
Read my review - 5/5 stars
I am flying to Cyprus this morning and I expect the day to be a difficult one. We were in Athens for some days before the trip when the bad news reached us. It was on Thursday afternoon when I got a phone call from my sister telling me that Mum is in hospital and she is having an operation today –Monday. For this reason I am going straight to the hospital.
To make story short it seems the operation was successful and Mum is recovering well. It is the first time I feel the absence of Mum in the evening. I am all alone at home and I don't feel good at all.
Early in the morning I see Mum before leaving Larnaca. I will be away for 3 days and then return to see her and spend some days at home before the next destination
I arranged to spend 3 nights at a family hotel in the outskirts of Latchi in Paphos, just 1.5 kms from Aphrodite's Baths. The beach here is one of the best….if not the very best! The owners, Gregoria and Tasos are truly professionals, very friendly and the food fresh and home made. The views from the restaurant terrace are breathtaking and it is the first time I feel the need to urge people who are visiting the island this summer to spend some days here.

|New Life Baptist Church stands well back from the eastern side of the High Street, opposite All Saints Church (see above) and overlooking Tannery Lane. The church was previously at Brompton Chapel, opened 1850. In 1866 they moved to the newly built Wesleyan Chapel (see below). Northallerton Chapel was purpose-built in 1958, but this eventually proved too small, so the former Lyric Cinema was purchased in 1997 and opened for services a year later. [The History Files]

Veterinary professionals from the four western provinces have generously supported the WCVM Library's Adopt a Journal or Book program since 1999. The campaign has allowed the library to maintain relevant journals and books in the library's collection.
Through their support, the WCVM library has been able to keep current journals on the shelves for WCVM students, faculty and staff, as well as for practitioners who use the library's extension program.
As more veterinary journals change from print to electronic format, the WCVM Library's annual fundraising campaign has broadened its focus from print journals to include materials such as newly published reference books, new editions of textbooks, and other published works.
The WCVM Library is pleased to recognize its donors with a permanent bookplate in the sponsored books and journals. If you choose not to be publicly recognized for your support, the WCVM Library will honour your wishes.

Adding more venting, how to add more intake?
Hi I plan to talk to a roofer to add a turbine and maybe a solar fan along the ridge. It's easy to add in the "exhaust" category but I can't figure out how to provide the intake?
Currently the house has 1 eye brow vent (don't know exact size), 4 soffit mesh (3"x22") and one 20x14" gable vent at the top.
(edit, actually I think I don't have a real soffit, just 4 of these mesh) in some of these areas, instead of the blocking that runs along
I live in a duplex (divided attics) so I only have one gable. The soffits blocking are made of 2x4s so not alot of height to add more intakes there. Are blockings structural? can they all be replaced with similar mesh?
But there are plenty of sidings on the gable side, could I install more gable vents/louvers on the lower end of the attic, and use them to serve as intake for the new exhaust vents up on the ridge?
The mid roof application method using Smart Vent from DCI Products, Inc. would provide you the balanced intake that you need.
Why not add a ridge vent instead of the turbine? http://www.oikos.com/esb/30/atticvent.html
The eyebrow and the gable vents will short-circuit the ridge vent by supplying air instead of the soffit vents: http://books.google.com/books?id=Z8a...0vents&f=false
Get a good one: http://files.buildsite.com/dbderived...rived20936.pdf
Be safe, Gary
You have what we call "open" cornice. The blocking between the rafter tails is not structural. Rather than removing the blocking, one option is to hole saw them and add round louver vents. Here's one source:
A picture of the eyebrow would be useful.
Adding lower gable vents might work, but would probably short circuit. Air would enter at the lower vent, heat slightly, and then exit the higher vent. Air away from the gable end would stagnate. Better than nothing, but not a great scenario.
What are you trying to accomplish by adding venting? Do you have moisture problems in the attic or are you trying to increase the comfort level in the living space?
More/better insulation and air sealing are the likely best solutions to the 2nd scenario. Venting/air sealing is the solution to moisture problems.
Thanks guys, my main purpose is to add more net ventilation to satisfy ventilation criteria of a whole house fan which is 4 sq feet, both intake and exhaust counts. Attic is very hot also. I decided not to add any low gable due to poor appearance and the short circuit issue. I have doubled what the builder installed and satisfy the 300 rule also.
You just need outlet for the whole house fan. That's a completely different issue (although kind of intertwined) than just pure attic venting.
It's about noon and I added 2 new vents and the attic is very close to room temperature. Before it is real hot and feels like an oven when I open the attic access.

"Did you hear that?" Wayne Sawchuk whispers, freezing mid-stride. For the past 24 hours we have tracked a lost horse through dense woods cloaking British Columbia's northern Rocky Mountains.
Well, more accurately, Sawchuk has tracked the young horse, and I have followed Sawchuk, who is making me feel like a neophyte in the wilderness for the first time in decades. The logger-turned-cowboy-turned-conservationist stoops often, finding clues that I would have missed, running his hand over blades of bent grass and scuffs on rocks, changing direction, retracing his steps, muttering, and all the while deciphering the mystery of the horse's flight. Scars in alder bark show where the frantic mare smashed the panniers. Prints of elk, moose, deer, caribou and galloping horse litter the thick carpet of moss underfoot, and Sawchuk patiently points out the differences. Despite such tutelage, they all look the same to me, as if a drunkard hopped through the forest on a pogo stick.
Every summer since 1989, Sawchuk has mounted gruelling (upward of 90 days) horse journeys through this vast and virtually forgotten corner of Canada – and brought commercial clients with him. These are no run-of-the-mill eco-tours. "Participatory expeditions" is how Sawchuk describes the experience. The guests who join him for two-week stints – flying in and out on float planes while the pack string continues its march over the rumbled landscape – are expected (and desperately needed) to pitch in with saddling horses, loading packs, cooking meals, gathering wood and setting camp.
Two days earlier, an 18-wheel transporter unloaded 20 of Sawchuk's horses at Summit Lake on the Alaska highway; eight for riding, 12 for packing. After a fitful sleep under the midnight sun, our nascent team of strangers leaped atop saddles, and the excited pack string thundered up a steep trail leading to alpine tablelands.
Sawchuk's string is made up of proven, trusty mounts. Hazel, the patriarch, is the veteran of 27 expeditions. But each year, a handful of new horses are broken in. It was after a lazy lunch on the banks of a clear creek that Buddy, one of three novice pack horses, panicked and bolted. By the time we realized something was amiss, Buddy had vanished into the tangled choke of trees that rise steeply above the north fork of the Tetsa River.
Dismounting, we followed on foot, retracing Buddy's trail through a maze of trunks and fallen trees. "Poor horse was out of his mind with panic," Sawchuk noted. "It will be a miracle if we find him alive." Every bash and bang of his hard plastic panniers would have added to Buddy's terror, and his continuing full-out gallop was evident in his wake. Tent poles, cans of beans and fluorescent jackets were strewn through the forest, leading us in an enormous loop. Eventually we found ourselves lost in a confusion of hoof prints going every which way. Riding our horses to the top of the mountain, we scoured the upper limits of the forest to ensure he had not crossed into the next valley, but found nothing.
"He is still down there somewhere," Sawchuk declared at day's end, "and we'll find him." I did not share such confidence. We were travelling at a snail's pace, trying to find a charging horse with a full day's lead on us, amid a wilderness so large that Ireland could fit within its borders. It felt like the proverbial search for the needle in the haystack.
The next morning, as we prepared to resume the search, Sawchuk slipped a lever-action .308 Browning rifle into his backpack. (This rifle, along with a mirror-polished ax, are always slung from Sawchuk's saddle, within arm's reach.) It was a reminder of the grim reality: If we could not find Buddy – who might already be dead, or lying stricken with a broken leg – he would surely perish in the days ahead. Sawchuk's packhorses are fitted with a muzzle each morning, to prevent grazing on the trail. If bears and wolves didn't get him, starvation would.Report Typo/Error

text: Ok, so I had my Bersa painted so many months ago and haven't done anything with it since. I need some way of sealing the paint so it doesn't all scrape off. It was done basically as a joke, and he did it all in spray paint. I tried to spray a sealer on it, but it isn't strong enough. Any ideas for sealing the paint so it doesn't keep scraping off? And also keeping the matt finish, if possible. Thanks!

Value Types and Reference Types
A data type is a value type if it holds the data within its own memory allocation. A reference type contains a pointer to another memory location that holds the data.
Value types include:
- All numeric data types
- Boolean, Char, and Date
- All structures, even if their members are reference types
- 1Enumerations, since their underlying type is always Byte, Short, Integer, or Long
Reference types include:
- String
- All arrays, even if their elements are value types
- Class types, such as Form
- Delegates
You can assign either a reference type or a value type to a variable of the Object data type. An Object variable always holds a pointer to the data, never the data itself. However, if you assign a value type to an Object variable, it behaves as if it holds its own data.
You can find out whether an Object variable is acting as a reference type or a value type by passing it to the IsReference method on the Information class in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.IsReference returns True if the content of the Object variable represents a reference type.

When I was musing about hiding my money in different places
in the previous travelogue/blog - remember,
that I had 3 different piles of money - peso's, USA$$$'s & Cdn.$$$'s...
I also live in fear that I am going to forget my money
and leave it in some hidey hole somewhere,
and a thousand miles later remember
- oh my God!!!!! I left my money in a hidey hole a thousand miles back there...
And I have stopped several times just to look through my car, the JEEP, to find
my money just to be sure that I did not leave it back there in a hidey hole...
My mind is starting to go numb from the driving 10 to 12 hours a day
and the isolation..... I would not make a very good long distance truck driver..
I am very isolated/alienated, being in my car all day with no contact with anyone,
in effect living in my little isolated bubble - my car - my JEEP... that is my world right now.....
Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of my wrecked car.
I think that people would have been impressed
- impressed that I was still alive
after they saw what my wrecked car looked like after the accident...
A picture of me standing beside the wrecked car would have looked really neat
Reflecting on and analyzing my accident – the rolling and totaling of my car.
It happened about 9:00pm at night – it was completely dark out – about a 100 miles past Laredo…
I had spent the previous 5 hours getting through the 4 border crossings:
- The Mexican army check point 30 miles before the border
- Mexican customs and immigration
- American customs and immigration
- The American check point 30 miles past Laredo
I had than stopped and gassed up and bought some groceries to eat in the car.
Cherries, grapes, blue berries, black berries…..
Before the 5 hour, 4 border crossing I had spent 4 hours driving from Monterrey to Laredo. The 4 hour drive from Monterrey to Laredo is a dessert and there is no where to stop for a break or rest with the exception of one truck stop station at about the half way point. I think that I may have passed through some Federale Police stops/check points. I do not remember because after a while everything becomes a big blur… But I do remember thinking that they do keep the highway through the Mexican War Zone fairly safe and secure… There were all of those crosses
along side the highway for people that did not make it and tractor trailers in the ditches alongside the highway but no dead or dismembered bodies laying about….
Laredo is in the middle of nowhere in the desert, a 4 hour drive from Monterrey
and another 2 or 3 hour drive to San Antonio
not counting or including the 5 hours to cross the 4 border crossings…
It was 9:00pm and totally dark out and there were no cars on the road.
It was a divided 4 lane highway...
And I was paying more attention to eating my cherries than I was to my driving....
It was bad and good that there were no other cars on the road..
Bad - because if there had been other cars on the road
I would have been paying more attention to my driving
- I pay more attention to my driving when there are other cars around
Good - because once I started spinning out of control,
if there had been other cars on the road it would have meant instant death..
I do not know how fast I was driving, however:
- I do not drive at 160K at night, and
- I was now in the USA/Texas, where the speed limits might be enforced,...
- I would not drive at 100K or less, because it is against my religion, and
since I was eating my cherries I would have probably slowed down another 20K,
So my guess is that I was driving at 120K....
I may have fallen asleep for a few micro-seconds..
The car tires were making a loud noise,
because I was going off of the road, either woke me up or got my attention..
I was not drifting off of the road - I was going off of the road....
towards the ditch that separated the 2 lanes from the other 2 lanes of traffic.
I do not know what happen exactly after that
- I overreacted and overcompensated,
- I skidded to the other side of the road,
- I overreacted and overcompensated again, and
- skidded to the other side of the road, and
- I overreacted and overcompensated again, and
- skidded to the other side of the road, and
- I overreacted and overcompensated again, and
- skidded to the other side of the road, and
into the ditch separating the 4 lane highway...
While I was trying to get control of my car,
I was also slamming on my brakes to reduce my speed.
(I think - I am not sure about that - I think that at that point I want to come to a complete stop)..
I was not operating on a logical, rational basis - I was reacting to a situation...
When I hit the ditch, my car twisted sideways and started rolling along the ditch sideways.
It rolled over 3 or 4 times and came to a standstill - right side up and the engine was still running,
and the car lights were still on and the car's windshield was a real mess...
It is an interesting experience - the whole event probably did not take more than a few seconds
at the very most - but my brain went into super drive fast, so it was like I had 20 or 30 seconds
to think about things and things seemed to be happening in slow motion...
What was I thinking - "holy fucking shit - I think that this might be the end of it all - I sure as hell
do not want to roll into the oncoming traffic on the other side of the highway
- that would be the end of it all for me for sure.. but I really do not have much control
over my car right now..."
I have experienced the super drive fast thinking, when everything appears to be happening
in slow motion, in the past, in my youth several times, - when playing sports, hockey,
I think that if someone jumped or fell off of a high building
or out of an airplane, they would experience the same super drive fast thinking
and be able to think about things briefly... not that they would be able to do anything about it...
I turned the car engine off, left my car lites on and turned on my emergency car lites.
Got out of my car and started to cogitate...
My car was not going anywhere.
My two front wheels were twisted away out of shape and my two front tires were a real mess,
the whole front end of the car was all messed up and the roof was caved and crushed in...
I cogitated some more.... and ate some more cherries and grapes.....
Someone must have called the police, because the police arrived about 10 minutes later,
while I was still cogitating about the reality of existence and what was I going to do
and what was my next move - 9:00pm at night (completely dark) and in the middle of no where......
However, I did have my cherries and grapes, which I did start to eat again....
The police questioned me very closely for about an hour,
while we were waiting for a tow truck that they had called for to arrive
and while I was eating my cherries and grapes...
The tow tuck driver hooked my car up and tow my car and me to the next town, about 25 miles away - Dilley, Texas - population 3,000 - 75% Hispanic it was 11:00pm at nite...
Story to be continued - maybe???
I have to hit the road now - I have things to do, places to go
and people to see if I want to make it back to Ottawa, Canada and Lise again...
Still Bruised and Dazed

- About Plattsburgh
Geography is an attractive major for students. Its theories and methods provide analytical techniques applicable to a wide range of questions asked over a broad spectrum of occupations. For students planning to end their formal education with the bachelor's degree, a geography major provides marketable skills and the broad perspectives on environment and society that enable graduates to move beyond entry-level positions. For similar reasons, geography provides a sound foundation for students who plan to enter graduate work in a variety of fields, from geography to business, land use planning, law, and medicine.
The potential for practicing geography in private enterprise and government has grown considerably in recent years, although few such positions are designated with the title of geographer. Roughly a quarter of all geographers work in the private and public sectors.
The geography program at SUNY Plattsburgh provides students with the tools and experience needed to explore career opportunities in disciplines such as:

st: RE: Hebrew labels

st: RE: Hebrew labels
Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:43:10 -0400
I found a way to show labels in another language in Stata. I thought it was
something to do with Stata, but it was to do with Windows. This method
worked for Hebrew and Korean Stata data on Windows XP. I before posted a
question on Chinese dataset, but I no longer have a dataset in Chinese so I
was unable to test it. I suspect it may work.
First you need to log in to the computer as an administrator, and then go to
the "Advanced" tab in "regional and language options" from the Control
Panel. Select the language of your choice from the drop down list in
"Language for non-unicode programs" box. Then hit apply and restart the
computer. If you open the data after restarting, you can see the labels in
the language you selected.
For Hebrew (right-to-left language) and Korean (East Asian language) you may
not see the option listed in the drop down list. Then you need to install
it by clicking the options in "Supplemental language support" box in
Languages tab. You will need the Windows CD.
Again, this worked for Windows XP and I'm not sure how it would work on
other Windows or Mac.
p.s. I couldn't figure out a way to respond to this old thread. Is it in

Sarah Palin has been a commentator on Fox News since January, but last night's premiere of "Real American Stories" — a magazine show focusing on "inspirational" narratives — marked her debut as a program host. Not surprisingly, the effort has proven controversial. A segment about rapper LL Cool J was dropped after he objected to an archived chat being repurposed for the show. On substance, Vanity Fair accuses the "Real American Stories" of being "marinated in jingoism" — typical of the show's largely negative critical reception. Palin's "generic" and "bland" presentation must have left her fans feeling "let down," says Alessandra Stanley at the NY Times. But there were some defenders: "Those who love Palin will love this," says Steve Krakauer at Mediaite. Aside from "occasional awkwardness" in her segues, she "thrives" in this format. See a clip from "Real American Stories" below:

Caran d'Ache Divine Pink (50ml Bottled Ink) is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ryan Martin from Not a straightforward pink This pink has a bold colour that really stands out, but also incorporates vaguely purple hues. On its own I find it of fairly limited use, albeit fun and far from useless (e.g. a nice alternative to reds for marking essays). This ink truly shines, however, when it is mixed with a tiny amount of black ink. The shading in the original is often drowned out by its loudness, but a bit of black transforms it into a beautifully subtle colour that shades very much like Noodler's Black Swans. (I used Lamy Black, 10 pink : 1 Black).
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 3 out of 5 by laechri from Less pink, more rose/red Bought a sample of Divine Pink really hoping for a rich, deep, red-leaning pink. Turns out this has a lot more red in it than it would appear- suppose I should have done my due diligence and consulted Google on this matter but thankfully I only invested in a sample. I also expected a much more saturated ink, which unfortunately it is not. It dried relatively quickly and as a lefty I had no issues with smudging. On the same note I did find this ink to be fairly dry. The shading with this ink is fantastic if you're writing with a bold or stub nib, so if you're looking for a rose ink with that purpose in mind, I would recommend it.
Date published: 2016-04-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Divine Indeed I've had this ink for a month or so now and I really have come to love it. The deep pink color is mesmerizing. I would say it almost leans red, but not quite, definitely a rich dark fuchsia. The ink is fairly wet and well behaved. Drying times were moderate for me and not bothersome. In the end though these inks are a worse value than the Iroshizuku's. The bottle is better, but the Iro's have even better writing qualities. The ink is certainly expensive, but I think it is worth it for the unique color.

What are the standards for testing what you can truly draw safely/effectively?
What are the standards for testing what you can truly draw safely/effectively?
When I first started I went to a Cabelas and tried as many bows as possible until I found what i was comfortable with,
I try to draw the bow smooth and motionless to my anchor while holding on target steady. Some guys say to sit on the ground flat and draw to anchor , or in a chair. Any draw weight that can be drawn smooth and easy with out lifting or strugle is the weight a person should draw.
Thats only for first pull fresh correct? Or something you can do 20+ times? I'm shooting at 70lb and I really don't have to struggle, but I was out working at the lease cutting trees loading feeders and I was struggling big time to hold the bow on the back wall @ 80% letoff.
I can pull 70 also. But after a few shots I would get weak. I started with light weight years ago even though I could pull 70. I found that , even if I could pull that much smoothly and motionless when a big deer came in it was not smooth and motion free. If you can pull it than go for it . Just because you are tired after doing work doesn't mean you can't. I know that draw weight is a topic on here a lot but I have killed tons of deer with 50 pounds. And I have had complete pass throughs.
If i can pull the bow back with out haveing to tilt it 4 inches up then you can handle it, but if you have the arrow pointing at the clouds then it to much. I shoot 50 pounds. dout you beleve me since iam 13.
I like to be able to hold the bow level, and draw it back without having to drop my elbow. Also, easily be able to smoothly draw the bow back while sitting in a chair, because i shoot sitting down from my treestand.

Nations throughout the world were shocked at the actions of the military junta which rules the country when it violated its own laws in order to extend the house arrest of opposition leader Aung San Suu Ky. She has been under continual house detention since returning to the country in 1988, and the latest came on the 18th anniversary of tthe election of her party, the National League for Democracy(NLD) which won an overwhelming victory 18 yeas ago. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed his frustration and disappointment: "The sooner restriction on Daw Aung San Suu Ky and other policial figures are lifted, the sooner Myanmar will be able to move towards incclusive national reconciliation, the restoration of democracy and full respect of human rights."
The UN hoped efforts by nations to assist Burma during the aftemath of a destructive cyclone at least would have been recognized by the junta, but they apparently were sending a message to the world that despite this assistance they wanted everyone to know who was in charge and that no changes were forthcoming relating to democracy.
There now is no doubt changes will not occur in Myanmar as long as the thugs who run it continue their power over a helpless people.

Mission command, circa 1805
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at email@example.com.
I see the Spanish seem to be contemplating a replay of the battle of Trafalgar.
That reminds me of something I read the other day, that Lord Nelson's form of mission command was very intensive conversation before the fight, very hands off once it began, observed A.B.C. Whipple:
Nelson believed in sharing tactical options with his captains, discussing every possible situation and emphasizing that when battle was in progress, every captain would be on his own. If a captain saw an opportunity to do damage to the enemy, he was free to attack without awaiting signals from the flagship's masthead. The old line-ahead dogmas of each ship's blindly following the leader was not only dead, it was replaced by something previously unheard-of in the Royal Navy: delegation of authority.

WASHINGTON, March 11. -- A group of leading Republican Senators told President Coolidge today, in what was intended to savor of a heart-to-heart talk, that it would be a grave error to resubmit to the Senate the nomination of Charles B. Warren of Michigan to be Attorney General in the face of the Senate's action yesterday in rejecting Mr. Warren's nomination for that office.

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Jack and Annie battle a wildfire must help a baby kangaroo and a koala escape from a fire-filled forest. Will they be able to rescue the animals in time?
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"A feeling of dread came over Jack.
'What if...' he said. 'What if...'
In the distance, a tree suddenly burst into flames.
'We're looking at a wildfire!' he said."
On a magical mission from the mysterious tree house near their home in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, Jack and his sister Annie find themselves in the wilds of Australia during a drought. Things heat up pretty quickly for this adventuresome pair, as what initially appears to be a campfire turns into something a lot more frightening. Meanwhile, one exotic animal after another crosses their paths, from koalas to kookaburras to kangaroos. In previous episodes of the Magic Tree House series, Jack and Annie found three of the four gifts they must receive in order to free an enchanted dog from a spell. Now they must track down "a gift from a kangaroo." But can they find this gift before the forest--and all its furry and feathered residents--burns up?
This enormously popular series by award-winning author Mary Pope Osborne is full of thrills and enchantment. She manages to infuse each easy-to-read chapter book with heaps of historical, cultural, and geographical information, without ever missing a beat. (Ages 6 to 10) --Emilie CoulterFrom the Inside Flap:
Jack and Annie are whisked down under to the land of Australia, where they save a baby kangaroo, a koala, and other animals from a raging wildfire.

Thank you very much for this solution. As promised, I am delighted, but also slightly chagrined that I couldn't figure it out myself.
So I revise my earlier suggestion for the 2nd edition of Michael N. Mitchell's Visual Guide to Stata Graphics to:
Please include some examples employing user-written programs, such as Nick Cox's -catplot- and -tabplot- (available at SSC), for graphing categorical data.
