Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC)
- Registration includes meals, notes, entry fees on field trips and your accommodation option
This course is currently underway.
Why study permaculture?
Population growth and consumption levels are pushing our Planet toward a catastrophic environmental tipping point. Permaculture offers a way that we, as individuals and communities, can take control of our future and live sustainably.
Permaculture is a design system which draws upon the great truths of traditional knowledge, modern scientific understandings and the ethics of a peaceful and democratic society. The approach was first developed in Australia in the late 70's by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren and is now taught in over 100 countries. Since then hundreds of thousands of people have graduated from Design Courses and are using this tool to build resilience and diversity into their lives.
Permaculture can be employed by anyone, whatever profession or skill, on any scale, from balconies and backyards to farms, factories and cities anywhere on the planet and in any climate. It offers a sustainable landscape, dignified human-scale living and self-reliant children who have the confidence to design a sustainable future for themselves.
It is based on three ethics: Care of the Earth, Care of Community and Acceptance of personal responsibility for consumption and population. Many principles, technologies and strategies have evolved to make permaculture one of the most accessible and dynamic solutions to the issues we face in the 21st Century.
About this course
This 10 day intensive course will present you with an opportunity to consider your life in a new light and gives you increased confidence and many skills needed to design a sustainable and meaningful place for your future.
You will work with a group of motivated fellow students with diverse skills and backgrounds and learn through lectures, practical activities, small group work, case studies, DVDs, field trips and games. In addition to our experienced teaching team, you will have access to a wide range of printed and digital resources.
The extended format of the course is for busy people, designed to cause minimum disruption to other parts of your life as well as to allow you to absorb and practise skills from one learning block before moving on to the next. However the residential aspect is important, as it helps you become fully immersed in learning about sustainable living. Sessions are scheduled in the evenings, but we finish at 5pm on the last day of each block. The first teaching block of 5 days starting Fri April 21, includes Anzac Day Public holiday which this year is on Tuesday April 25. There are 3 days in total which are normal 'working days'; these may need some planning to have off.
In The Food Forest PDC you will work on a major design project of your choice. Many of the excellent designs have been implemented around the world and have had impact as local exemplars of sustainable design.
Whilst many people study permaculture as a design system for their personal and/or professional lives, successful completion of the course will qualify you for a Permaculture Design Certificate which makes you eligible to practice or teach permaculture commercially. The course can also be recognised as relevant prior learning towards the completion of requirements for the nationally accredited VET Certificate IV in Permaculture and Graduate Certificate in Permaculture. Earlybird discount applies; see booking form.
The course at The Food Forest will focus on the southern Australian environment and the ways we can enrich rural and metropolitan landscapes. It will cover such topics as:
- Permaculture ethics, principles & design of sustainable systems
- Reading the landscape - land capability assessment
- Passive solar design for houses and structures
- Sustainable energy, 'waste' and recycling
- Appropriate human settlements
- Personal, family and community strategies
- Soil management/ Soil health: improvements and maintenance
- Garden, farm and urban planning
- Orchard and food forest design
- Alternative economic models and legal structures
- Catchments, water management (urban & rural) and aquaculture
- Revegetation, agroforestry, bush food and wildlife
- Value-adding and direct marketing of food
- Application of Permaculture Design in professions & trades
Whilst many examples will be drawn from warm temperate environments (as experienced in South Australia), care will be taken to make the teaching relevant to other climatic areas.
Principal Tutors
David Holmgren, co-originator of the concept of permaculture, will be presenting during the first part of the course, providing a unique opportunity to update your values and techniques or start your permaculture career at the cutting edge.
In 2003 David published "Permaculture: Principles & Pathways Beyond Sustainability", a book which was the first significant development on the permaculture concept since Bill Mollison's "Permaculture: A Designers' Manual" which was published in 1988. David continues to refine permaculture in his writings and research. He is currently working on a new book, earmarked to hit the book shelves early next year. To find out more about David, see www.holmgren.com.au
Annemarie Brookman is co-owner of The Food Forest and runs its organic market garden, a busy office and family. She organises The Food Forest's stalls in the Adelaide Showground and Gawler Farmers Markets, a busy office and family as well as coordinating the WWOOF-ers (Willing Workers On Organic Farms) at The Food Forest.
She has observed societies, crafts and cuisines in many countries. Her passion for visually beautiful, local and wholesome food and her skills as a designer are expressed in a direct and practical manner. She is expert in the integration of poultry and vegetable production and is an unashamed lover of chooks. Time management, small scale marketing, and sustainable home-building are included in her talents. She is qualified in permaculture design & training, art and craft.
Graham Brookman has experienced land use all over the world and his search for ecologically sustainable farming systems led him to the permaculture model devised by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren. Graham has put the model to the test and teaches his findings in an energetic, interactive and practical style.
Discovering how to build with strawbales has given Graham free rein with the construction of an amazing series of beautiful and environmentally responsible structures. He has taught hundreds of others how simple it is to build anything from a garden bench to a house from straw bales.
He is a qualified horticulturalist, teacher and permaculture designer and was founding chairman of the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market and the Gawler Natural Resource Centre. Though first a farmer, he was involved in town planning and has made numerous educational films.
Guest Tutors and Field Visits
A wide range of guest tutors, selected for skills in their particular field and their commitment to sustainable living and permaculture will also teach in the course. Tours will visit outstanding examples of permaculture in & near Adelaide.
The Food Forest, 80 Clifford Rd, Hillier (West of Gawler), SA.
The accommodation is in a share, bunk-style facility at The Food Forest. Alternatively you can bring your own van, caravan or tent, or possibly book a private cabin not too far from The Food Forest.... or commute from home.
Meals are included in the registration and include vegetarian, vegan and omnivorous options. Delicious, healthy, local and in season is important to us! A lot of the food served at the course will be harvested from The Food Forest, including many varieties of fruit, vegetables and herbs. We have also preserved produce from the different seasons. Of course we don't produce everything; milk, cheese, bread, some grains & pulses will be sourced locally, in many cases direct from the producers. We do our best to cater for different needs but please note that for very specialised dietary requirements you may need to bring some of your own supplies.

Do you like football? And do you like a challenge? The Football Discipleship Training School (Football DTS) is a six month training experience with the central purpose of knowing God and making Him known. To do this we make use of football. The Football DTS contains all the great ingredients of the DTS combined with football. The Football DTS will run together with the Classic DTS.
During the lecture phase we have football training and we reach out through football to the refugees. During the outreach phase we focus a lot on football. It is a great tool to reach out and to share the love of Jesus!
We run the football DTS every September @YWAM Heidebeek!

TiVo to Apple TV- Playing TiVo files on Apple TV 3/2
Apple TV is a supported device with TiVo Desktop, so how can we play TiVo files on Apple TV 3/2? A quick solution is to convert TiVo to Apple TV friendly format. Learn details.
How do you use your current Apple TV? I use it mainly to watch content I can't view on cable, like YouTube videos. Our family also all uses the Netflix app. The Apple TV is a vital link in my house-wide home audio network, too. The only upset is that Apple TV is not listed as a supported device within TiVo Desktop. What I'm look for is an easy way to get HD quality TiVo files to Apple TV?
Do a searching on Google, I found out a quick workaround- just convert TiVo to Apple TV format. Actually, TiVo is an encrypted video format, that's why few media players can play it well and some freeware can't handle it. To get the work done, Brorsoft TiVo Converter for Mac is highly recommended to encode TiVo to MP4/MOV/M4V Apple TV friendly video under Mac OS X.
Overall, it is a versatile video converter tool that can help you convert TiVo shows to Apple TV supported video keeping original quality as it provides the optimal presets for Apple TV 3, Apple TV 2 and Apple TV. Besides, you are allowed to edit the videos by trimming, cropping, adjust video effects, etc to get the wanted part and effects as you like. More than TiVo files, it can also support encoding MKV, WMV, AVI, FLV, MPG, VOB to Apple TV to meet your different needs. For Windows users, please get Brorsoft Video Converter.
How to convert TiVo recordings to Apple TV
Step 1: Launch the Mac TiVo file converter, then head to the folder where the TiVo files are stored and then add the files to the program.
Tip: When first loading, Brorsoft TiVo Converter will ask you to input your Media Access Key. Simply enter your Media Access Key, and click "OK" to confirm.
Step 2: This TiVo to Apple TV Converter has a number of presets for Apple TV, Apple TV 2, and Apple TV 3rd Generation. For example, if you want to export a Apple TV 3 1080p video with ac3 5.1 pass-through for AV receiver decoding, "Apple TV 3 Dolby Digital Pass-through (*.m4v)" preset is highly recommended.
Step 3: The TiVo recordings may needs a little trimming for viewing on Apple TV. The recorded TV shows and movies tend to have commercials, so you can use the converter's Trim feature to get rid of these.
Step 4: Click Convert button to start converting TiVo to Apple TV format.
After the conversion, get the output files by clicking the Open button. Now you will now have no trouble to stream TiVo to Apple TV. Enjoy yourself!

The Conspiracy Too Big for Glenn Beck to See.
( Or does see but is a part thereof? )
No one seems to love a good conspiracy more than Glenn Beck. In order to have a clear view of any conspiracy you need to have a vantage point outside of that very conspiracy which is why I think Beck is missing the grandest of them all...he has wittingly or unwittingly become an integral part of this one.
There are major conspiracy theories about the global take over of the world. New World Order is a famous version. Players are claimed to include the Free Masons, the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones and the list goes on.
As grand as all this may seem and as exciting the prospects for the next big movie full of intrigue and international plots may be, I believe the real conspiracy is both larger and simpler than these well endorsed theories. I think the plans are currently aimed more at the United States and specifically at the middle class. I also think that the "famous" conspiracy theories are smoke screens encouraged to hide what is taking place under our noses and with our full, if ignorant cooperation.
I don't believe our government is behind this. I do believe that some individuals in Congress are even if they have been co-opted by greed and a desire for power that over rides their patriotism and ethical values. Both parties are infected though I think the most serious level of infection is present in the Republican party. Some may be listening to a small constituency contrived for their consumption in order to conceal the real agenda they are manipulated into serving. The most recent contrive constituency appears to be the Tea Party followers. Few in this faux grass roots movement are aware of the huge influence and financial and political input of some very wealthy individuals such as the Koch brothers, Charles and David, tied in 9th place as America's richest men.
Two of the more famous backers for the Tea Party movement have been FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity. Both of these organizations include among their founders David Koch who is a Libertarian. It is impossible to define any political "party" as grass roots with the backing of some of the wealthiest men in the world behind it. FreedomWorks in particular has been identified as the single most influential group involved in launching the Tea Party Movement. It was the result of a merger of Citizens for a Sound Economy which was founded by Kock Industry (oil giant) interests that included major US Corporations including GE, Citibank, Amoco among others. These same founders have consistently meddled in Congress to enact laws friendly to their own business agendas that were detrimental to the typical American Citizen.
I bring up the Tea Party only as an example of the extent to which our major corporations are in the "business" of manipulating Americans in order to gain political power. Few if any of their followers would knowingly contribute to their own undoing if they fully realized the extent to which they are being "used" for a darker purpose that does not include the best interest of the future of most Americans. Glenn Beck has either been seduced or, because of his multi-millionaire status, combined with his celebrity status on conservative Fox cable, has been promised a seat at the table. Likewise for Rush Limbaugh who seems adept at playing their game for them on air.
While momentarily on the subject of Fox cable (I refuse to call it news), that is owned by News Corp under Rupert Murdock, another very wealthy individual. The largest single voting shareholder outside of the Murdock family happens to be one of the wealthiest investors in Saudi Arabia. A Muslim Saudi Prince by the name of Alwaleed bin Talal who has also been linked to payments to families of Palestinian suicide bombers. This same man is also a major player in Citibank which recently accepted TARP bail out funds after the Bush recession and economic collapse brought on by a deregulated Wall Street.
Now we come to the members of Congress, Republicans in particular. It should come as no secret that the GOP is the party of big business. Their cover story is "free market" fixes everything. There intentions are to reduce or eliminate any form of governmental oversight over business, leaving them to exercise free reign over our economy. When they wrap all this up in the flag and the constitution it paints a rosy picture for many of the "lesser people" as former Senator Alan Simpson describes the middle class. These people are masters of manipulation and could have their own grandmothers voting to euthanize the elderly to eliminate Social Security!
A totally "free" anything has a definition. It is called anarchy. What the GOP really wants is not "freedom" for American citizens but unfettered and unregulated freedom for big business. The result of such corporate anarchy is fewer freedoms and very few protections from abuse available to the average person. As a citizen you must keep in mind that corporations do not grant you any rights and they are not obligated to follow our Constitution. Any protections "We the People" receive depend on the government standing between it's people and those who would oppress us including government itself. A totally free market is incompatible with a free society. Cuba is an example of a "totally free market system" without regulations that its citizens cannot participate in. Whether "business" is in the hands of government or the government is in the hands of business, the result for the citizen remains the same. Loss of individual freedom and protection from abuse. We do best with private business with some necessary regulations for our protection.
A corporation will serve only one master, profit. Their duty is to make as much money for their owners as possible, by any legal means possible. If this is not enough, they feel equally obligated to try to change laws so they can do what may now be illegal. Remember this paragraph as it is a very important part of the foundation for this conspiracy theory.
Let me divert your attention momentarily to the GOP political agenda, at least the public version.
Eliminate or privatize Social Security, the rich have so much it does not matter to them.
Eliminate health care reforms that protect the middle class. The rich can afford any care they need.
Renew tax breaks for the very rich and pay for them by eliminating services the middle class.

We had all been waiting in the hospital for what seemed to be forever. Jeremy had in a short coma after the others came to the cave and we left for the hospital. We all had to rent rooms at a hotel near by.
Ami ran into the lobby of the hotel and proclaimed that Jeremy was awake. "Finally." We all muttered.
Back in the hospital I went up to Jeremy and said, "It only took you long enough. We've been waiting for a week! Were you having a party in your head!" Then with no pause he said, "I wish."
After he was okay to go I went up to Ami. She was sitting down next to Jeremy. "Where to now ?" I asked, hoping she had something planned. "To sleep, Cult. . . ." She trailed off. Her head went back on the chair and then she went out cold.

Brian May leads tributes to Rick Parfitt
Queen guitarist Brian May has led tributes to fellow rock star Rick Parfitt, who has died at the age of 68.
The long-time member of Status Quo was hailed by his long-haired contemporary, who said he "joyfully rocked our world".
Parfitt's son, Rick Jr, also paid his own emotional tribute online, writing that, although he was a rock star to many, to him "he was simply 'Dad', and I loved him hugely".
Similar outpourings of sadness came from across the musical community, where he was praised as "a lovely man" and "one of the nicest guys in rock 'n' roll".
May said: "Shocked and so sad to hear of the passing of Rick Parfitt. Hard to find words. You truly joyfully rocked our world. RIP dear buddy."
One of the most celebrated live performances of Parfitt's career came at Live Aid on July 13 1985, when he opened the historic 16-hour concert with Status Quo in a 15-minute slot at the original Wembley Stadium which was broadcast around the world.
The event's co-organiser and fellow musician Midge Ure said: "Status Quo's Rick Parfitt dies. Dreadfully sad. Lovely man. Thoughts go out to his family and friends."
The band carved out a place in musical history with their thumping rock sound, which shot them to stardom in the 1970s.
Rock star Peter Frampton, who also found success during that era, tweeted: "So sad to hear this. Rick Parfitt Rest In Peace".

Police have released video images of a vehicle suspected of critically wounding a motorcycle rider in Garland and fleeing the scene.
The incident occurred about 6:45 p.m Monday, when the motorcycle and a dark-colored vehicle eastbound on the Interstate 30 service road at Bobtown Road stopped at a red light.
Both were in either of two left turn lanes, with the dark vehicle in the left lane and the motorcycle in the right.
When the light turned green, the dark vehicle instead continued east, striking the motorcycle and failing to stop.
The motorcyclist was hospitalized in critical condition.
The video highlights the suspect vehicle. Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact Garland Police at 972-485-4840. Anonymous tips can also be left with Garland Crime Stoppers at 972-272-8477.


text: Her eyes are the moon on a moonless night... A beacon of hope in the deep dark days of old. A Way to cope, A vein of pure gold.. Pure and true, Her love is wrought. A Past lesson That need not be taught. Her movements so delicate and fine. More presious than stardust or fairy wine.. I love her little ways So true so clear The tales they weave, All reasons i know I shall never leave. The smaller the things The stronger I feel Makes the truth of cupid's sting Ever so real. She is my beauty, love and breathe of life For her I would face Any strife... No words can discribe her. None can compare To her endless wonder Her sweet savoir-faire. I see her in the sun I touch her in the moon I see no signs fo impending doom.. I am in awe of her beauty, elegance and grace Everything comes clear In the aspects of her face.. Her past is a predator which over her looms, I suck the venom from her still bleeding wounds.. I can be the medicine In which she needs. I give her myself on which to feed.. I would give myself till It bleeds She is the peace That I have found A celestial angel That blesses the ground To her divine spirit My heart is forever eternally bound.

Why Is Pop Music So Sad?
Pop music's not what it used to be. That's what every generation of no-longer-kids says about what the kids are listening to, but fogey cliches aren't necessarily wrong. A study just published in the Journal of Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts tracked the mood of pop songs over five decades of Billboard charts, and it confirms that pop has changed in substantial ways. Far more of today's hits are now in minor keys (which most of us hear as sadder or more complex) — more than half, as compared to just 15% in the 1960s.
Our graphic representation of the study results is here, courtesy of WNYC's Data News and Journalism Technology group. (The raw data is here.)
The study, by Glenn Schellenberg and colleagues, found that the average beats per minute fell in those decades as well. Even in uptempo dance music, minor keys are far more frequent, creating a mixed or ambiguous mood.
Why is this happening? Our reporter called up two experts, music writer Chuck Klosterman and Alice Cooper, heavy metal icon and now radio host. Cooper thinks songwriter ego bears some of the blame. "Bands that want to sound like they're deep and serious cannot play in major keys — they want to go to minor keys to make them sound more mysterious. I think that we have really gotten away from the fun of rock music and we've gotten too emotional about it."

You've probably seen a public piano in a few places over the UK but have you seen anyone play one as well as this guy?
There's a few of these street pianos scattered around the UK, there's one in St. Pancras station and another at Herne Hill in London.
This particular piano was in Edmonton, Canada and the homeless lad playing it clearly has talent. He claims to have written the song himself as well.
Why he hasn't been picked up already we don't know, but if this video gets enough attention then maybe he will be.
Plus, he's a damn sight better than the crap we have to endure on Britain's Got Talent.

Home › Forums › General Forums › Food, Hydration, and Nutrition › Outback Oven – Thumbs up?
Sep 6, 2007 at 5:29 am #1224934
Fellow Food Friends,
I have recently been looking into the Outback Oven and similar devices for baking on the trail. Reason: I have my girlfriend on the UL kick, but she really doesn't enjoy many of the freeze dried foods…so when she saw the Outback in the local MEC, I said I would ask a few questions.
I did some searching, and there isn't too much info on the product regarding usage, but there are several home made…but I'm lazy today too. I was looking for some advice.
Is the outback oven a good choice for baking on the trail – I'm very interested in anyone who has tried the pizza in it.
What size would you recomend? The 10" or the ultralight version. It seems the weight difference isn't very much.
What pan/pot would you use with the UL version.
What kind of weight is this thing, the stated MFG weight is almost always off.
Thanks for any help!

Ask yourself:
Will I be using this to do more than biscuits or pizza once in awhile?
You might look into the Bake Packer as well, which can prepare full meals. The homemade Fauxbaker I made is a tiny version of the full sized Bake Packer (I have a small pan). It comes in a somewhat UL version for 2 people.
Don't make her eat freeze dried meals, but rather get her into the cooking. Let her plan the meals. She will come around pretty fast if she overplans and is doing to hard of meals. ;-) On the other hand, you might eat well!Sep 6, 2007 at 7:42 am #1401245
Sarah, thanks for the reply, I am going to look at the Bake Packer later today. As for how often I would use it, I was hoping that I could make it my only cook setup when I went with my girlfrind. We only go for a night and rarely go for 2 nights. So yes, I was hoping I could still use the pan for pancakes in the morning, or even rig it to boil water. Am I totally off on this thinking? Do most use the ovens for nice goodies only and then still bring a pot to boil water or make a pasta/rice dish?
Thanks again,
SteveSep 6, 2007 at 8:43 am #1401252

@simplespiritLocale: .
The bakepacker is actually a pot insert so assuming you clean the pot after you're done baking you can use it for boiling water or whatever.Sep 6, 2007 at 10:21 am #1401265

It is several years old but:
The pizzas are great.
Fresh rolls in the morning are a treat.
There may be an overheating problem if used with a set on top canister stove. Stability IS a problem with set on top canister stoves.
It is fun for winter and base camp, but I would not hike it.Sep 6, 2007 at 12:26 pm #1401279
OK, thanks for the replies. I looked at the bake packer, and it is definitely lighter and more usable with the setup I already have, but it bakes by boiling water in your pot. Is it possible to "brown" the baked goods, or create a crispy layer…seems if I made a pizza/muffins like this it may turn out rather soggy. However, the bakepacker website has pizza and muffins listed.
So I guess I am asking what type of results people have had from the bakepacker.
Sarah? Chris?
Richard, thanks for posting the weights. That is a major weight penalty…but I bet that pizza is dang tasty.
p.s. I love pizza.Sep 6, 2007 at 1:01 pm #1401288
Sarah KirkconnellBPL Member
@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
The major drawback to the Bake Packer is you don't get browned items-but and a big but!, the stuff is moist and tender, not soggy :-) Also there is the matter of NO cleanup! (Since everything is done in bags).
You can also use the Bake Packer to make dinners as well.
But…and Outback will give you crisp crusts and browning :-)
If she is only going out with you for overnights, in all reality the extra weight of an oven won't kill you :-)Sep 9, 2007 at 8:11 pm #1401660
Thanks for the advice…so I went ahead and purchased the UL version of the Outback Oven. Total weight on my scale is 7.8 oz, and I use it with my 1.3 L Ti Pot. I took it out this weekend, it bakes a mean pizza (took me 3 tries to get it right) and a serious brownie (raw in the center). A little more experience and I should have it down pat. I wasn't sure how well it would work with the Ti pot, but it isn't a problem at all. I do use the parchment paper so there really is no clean up. Thanks for the tips!

Cara: Wake upMature
I woke up with a banging headache.
"Ugh... what the hell happened?"
I clutched my head and rolled out of bed, almost forgetting to put my feet down in the process. I glanced down, realised I was still in last night's outfit, and groaned. What the hell?
Having changed in to my pyjamas with the strong conviction that I would be doing NOTHING today, I forced myself towards the kitchen for a drink of water. As I emerged bleary eyed, the light blinded me. I screwed up my eyes and groaned.
"Ugh seriously? I'm becoming a vampire."
There was a chuckle and I looked through the door to the kitchen to see Liam sat on the sofa.
"As long as you don't sparkle, I'll be ok with that."
"Heaven forbid." I said dryly, grabbing a glass and filling it with water before collapsing next to Liam.
"How's the head?"
"I'm not surprised."
"And why aren't you in agony?"
"Not a lightweight."
"Neither am I!" I said, giving him a light smack.
"Sure sure... sorry, have you got a headache?"
"Y- Oh alright. I get it. If I wasn't incapacitated, I'd kick your ass."
"You'd have to catch me first slow coach."
"Ugh, I'm too groggy for this."
"Aww, poor little Cara." He pulled me to him and I rested my head on his chest.
"I ache." I complained.
"Yeah. Not surprised. All that rolling round on the floor laughing."
"Was I horrendous?"
"Never. But you were way drunk. I swear, you and Ali were getting pretty cosy."
"Yeah?" I remembered fuzzy details of last night. "Oh... yeah."
I heard the door open and turned around. Ali stood in the doorway, clutching her head.
"Ugh... someone is stamping on my brain." She moaned.

theSkimm on how to rapidly grow an audience of engaged millennials: Use wit, keep it brief, and be transparent about what you endorse.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Young Americans
Stashed in: Founders, Curation, Trust, Growth Hacks!, Monetization, Snapchat, Content is king., Bite-sized Content, Extraordinary People, Microentertainment, Cognitive Bias
theSkimm serves up digestible news that matters to 3.5 million subscribing 20 to 30-somethings.
It's about giving Millennials what they want where they want it:
The New York Times, which has more than 1.3 million digital subscribers, is a paid subscription and not free like theSkimm's newsletter base. Separately, the NYT newsletter subscription numbers are in the "tens of millions," according to the Times.
theSkimm platform includes the daily newsletter, the Daily Skimm, as well as the Skimm Ahead, Skimm the Vote, and Skimm Guides such as what to look up on Snapchat, a brief on the Panama Papers or what the Kardashians are up to.
Both founders hail from careers in broadcasting but quit their jobs to make news accessible for their friends not in the news business.
And the material seems to be hitting the right nerve with young professionals. theSkimm now captures the attention of millions of "millennials" (those 18 to 34) with a hint of the duo's irreverent editorial wit.
theSkimm also implements a grassroots approach to growing the audience rapidly and has about 13,000 "Skimm'bassadors" spreading the word. Skimm'bassadors get rewards such as tote bags and other swag for telling their friends to sign up and read.
theSkimm has also figured out how to monetize in a way they say makes sense to a new generation – by being honest about the products they endorse on the platform and utilizing native advertising.
The startup's SkimmAhead app helps add a second source of revenue for the company by charging $2.99 per month to keep subscribers updated on the latest events and what's about to hit Netflix.
Simply put, "Looking at your phone is the new definition of 'me time'," says Weisberg, "We want theSkimm to make the news easier on your time."
Mic's approach to news is as unique as our generation. Young people will define the future and we deserve a news outlet that offers quality coverage tailored to us. We are hungry for news that keeps us informed and helps us make sense of the world.
Mic was founded in 2011 by Chris Altchek and Jake Horowitz under the shared belief that millennials are inquisitive, have a healthy skepticism for conventional wisdom, and crave substantive news to spark interesting conversations. This sensibility informs everything we do.
We've since built a rockstar team of editors, reporters, producers, designers and engineers. All of us believe that stories and information have the power to shape the world, especially when they challenge traditional narratives. We are now reporting original stories, publishing smart analysis and producing high-quality videos for an audience of more than 30 million people each month.
Very similar story, interestingly enough.
Mic creates a lot of articles, whereas theSkimm is more about bite-sized content.
But similar philosophy and attitude toward their audience.
Gina Bianchini on theSkimm's mission is to make you smarter:
theSkimm now has an $8 million investment from NYT and 20th Century Fox:
4 million Millennials read their email at least once a month.
theSkimm is one to watch in 2017.

I got the whole series and enjoy watching the four ladies. Watching these show's on this series brings alot fun memories, The Golden Girls is always a good watch especially the laugh's.
As a little girl, I grew up watching the golden girls with my mom and HATED IT! But as an adult i was able to appreciate the humor and it was very funny. and it was money well spent for a great price! It just goes to show that you appreciate things when youre older and how everything always comes back around!
This season is one of the best! I am a huge Golden Girls fan but am disappointed that they are difficult to find in the store and require online purchasing. Dick Van D. has a memorable performance and Sophia is funnier than ever trying to drive and going on a buying binge. Rose continues her pointless but wonderful stories about St.Olof and Dorothy gets more sarcastic, although she does try Rose's positive thinking class. Overall it is a fun season where the girl's distinct personalities really shine. Enjoy!!
My husband gave me this dvd for Christmas. He knows that I am a dedicated Golden Girls Fan and when I am not able to catch it on sattalite all I have to do now is pop the dvd in and "Thank You For Being A Friend" begins........Ahhhh!!!
Thanks Wal-Mart for keeping me hooked to my golden girls show!!
This is one of the best shows ever created.You don't have to be in a particular "mood" to watch it and it ALWAYS gives you a laugh.My kids even like it-ages , 8, 4 & 2! Very affordable price too.I have the complete golden girls set-Thanks to my Dad and my hubby!!!
Yay, Blanche!
there were three disk in season 5 that i just ordered! disk one was damaged somewhat, but it plays w/o skipping so i kept it! now if the second time i go to watch it, it wont play or skips like a first grader, i'll be really mad!
Walmart is where I buy all of my Golden Girls because they have the cheapest prices i've seen.
Season 5 has a lot of meamorable episodes, and a lot of good Sophia comebacks to boot!
The Golden Girls never cease to make me laugh. Every season is hallarious. Season 5 is great and was a great value. Walmart.com is awesome because I couldn't find them in stores.
The Golden Girls dvd is excellent, but I wish it could have been sent site to store like the rest of the Golden Girl seasons were. But it is still very good.
While season one is my all-time favorite of The Golden Girls, season five is a close second! Dorothy's snappy comebacks keep me laughing!
I enjoy watching the girls but some of the DVD's freezes.
GOLDEN GIRLS are the funniest ladies in the history of sitcome TV.
What a riot!
this is the best series ever filmed, nothing will ever top the golden girls
I have collected all 7 series ! So Happy :- )
I love the golden girls ! best show ever!
Great item to buy.
Very funny,
:))) got rare items i couldnt find anywhere else great prices received fast fast shipping GREAT

Chapter VI part1
Chapter Six
After hours of explaining the confusion between 'H.E.R.O., Herro and a Hero' and telling Kelly how he got accepted as a new recruit in H.E.R.O. Herro grew curious of her origin. "So, how did you get recruited into H.E.R.O.?" The two were still walking towards the H.Q. for the exam that took place here in a few hours.
"Oh it was simple! Unlike you I actually defeated my first Zarling." She claimed.
"Woah! Really?" Herro was ecstatic.
"Well..." Kelly placed a finger on her chin right under her bottom lip. "I would have."
Herro stopped. "You got to be kidding me." Herro started walking again. "You can't be actually serious right now."
Kelly halted and stomped her foot. "What does that mean?"
"You actually can't have me believe that a H.E.R.O. officer stole you off a Zarling kill. The officer that saved me actually waited till the last second. " 'But then again, that second Zarling attack, that guy didn't wait to see me in action. Herro began to think that she could be telling the truth when.
"Okay fine. It may have looked like a losing fight but I had 'em. " Kelly exclaimed.
Herro nodded. "Thought so... So how close do you think we are?" As Herro finished his question he came out of the trees to find himself standing on a cliff that was about 5 feet high and revealing the H.E.R.O. H.Q. "Never mind."

Summary of the 1st IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Communities and Service Clouds (PerCoSC 2011)Posted: 11. April, 2011 in Academic Events
Tags: 2011, cloud computing, mobile computing, pervasive computing, workshop
Here is a short summary to our 1st PerCom PerCoSC workshop.
First of all, we are proud that our workshop was well received at the conference. Many participants (20 – 35 people varying from sessions) were present with interesting talks. The talks covered complementary facets of the workshop's main topics, i.e. pervasive cloud and community computing. For several papers more than one authors came. We got interactive discussions after each papers and in the last discussion session.
The topics covered during the talks include:
- Software engineering
- Architecture patterns
- Offline work mechanism
- Decision models
- Security and privacy
- Data encryption, operations on encrypted data
- Code signatures
- Cloud services extension of pervasive/ubiquitous computing – ubiquitous/pervasive cloud
- Computation intensive services (parallel proc., search, huge dataset query)
- Data management services
- Network services
- Service resource management, service discovery, composition
- Cyber Foraging combined with clouds
- Lower latency
There were aslo discussed several use cases:
Service technicians
Cloud computing operating systems (Cloud OS)
Mobile desktop search
Indoor/outdoor positioning (smart home)
Content Recommendation and Adaptation
Mobile Augmented Reality
Home Automation and Security
The participants had an intersting discussion trying to brainstorm on the following questions:
- What are the requirements of pervasive communities?
- How will cloud computing benefit pervasive communities?
- What are the challenges for pervasive service clouds?
Based on the submissions this year, a more clear focus will be set to the new proposal for the next year. We are planning to organize PerCoSC 2012 within PerCom 2012, which will be held in Lugano, Switzerland.

The First IEEE PerCom Workshop on Pervasive Communities and Service Clouds (PerCoSC 2011)Posted: 27. July, 2010 in Academic Events
Tags: 2011, cloud computing, communities of pratice, ieee, ubiquitous computing, workshop
The First IEEE PerCom Workshop on Pervasive Communities and Service Clouds aims to offer researchers, Ph.D. students, and practitioners a forum to present and discuss research advances and challenges related to cloud computing support for pervasive communities. The workshop thus aims to enable the sharing of insights and experiences related to the development and use of cloud computing technologies, often called service clouds, for supporting pervasive communities. Pervasive communities are user communities that are enabled by pervasive computing technologies. Service clouds denote the totality of cloud computing services, applications, platforms, and infrastructure that comply with the service-oriented architecture paradigm.
Pervasive community services deal with data sensed and collected from the users' physical environments via networked mobile devices. Hence, they support data exchange, communication, and collaboration among mobile users. Pervasive communities of users with mobile devices and network connections have been increasing. Thus, the pervasive technologies to support pervasive communities face new requirements, e.g., related to mobility support, context-awareness, spatiotemporal intelligence, connectivity to communities, information sharing, collaboration, pervasive interaction, and privacy and security issues. However, the computational capabilities of mobile devices remain limited, when faced with pervasive communities who share large data volumes. Cloud computing technologies offer computational resources on a pay-per-use basis and are capable of abstracting technical details from the mobile devices. These technologies thus hold the potential for enabling pervasive community services with varying computing requirements in a cost-effective and scalable manner. Indeed, service clouds may envision future pervasive computing and enables innovative pervasive community services and applications.
Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following topics:
* cloud computing (services, platforms, infrastructure, and standards etc.) for pervasive communities
* cloud computing for pervasive technologies
* user-targeted pervasive, mobile and context-aware services and applications
* location-based, temporal, or spatiotemporal services and applications
* software architectures for cloud computing and pervasive computing
* data modeling and management for cloud computing and pervasive communities
* social software and Web 2.0 in cloud computing and pervasive computing
* augmented reality for pervasive communities
* security and privacy in cloud computing and pervasive communities
Authors are invited to submit papers limited to 6 pages formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. The submission system EDAS will be open soon.

General Information:
Ontology-based systems have been developed to structure content and support knowledge retrieval and management. Semantic multimedia data processing and indexing in ontology- based systems is usually done in several steps, one starts by enriching multimedia metadata with additional semantic information (possibly obtained by methods for bridging the semantic gap). Then, in order to structure data, a localized and domain specific ontology becomes necessary since the data has to be interpreted domain-specific. The annotations are stored in an ontology management system where they are kept for further processing. In this scope, Semantic Database Technologies are now applied to ensure reliable and secure access, efficient search, and effective storage and distribution for both multimedia metadata and data. Their services can be used to adapt multimedia to a given context based on multimedia metadata or even ontology information. Services automate cumbersome multimedia processing steps and enable ubiquitous intelligent adaptation. Both, database and automation support facilitate to ubiquitous use of multimedia in advanced applications.
We are searching for research contributions on the mapping and integration of multimedia metadata and ontologies into databases, on multimedia query languages, on the optimization and processing of semantic queries. Moreover, we are interested how multimedia data services are conceived to ensure interoperability, how to improve security and reliability of access and storage of multimedia data and metadata.
In addition, application papers showing concrete semantic multimedia database services (like, adaptation of multimedia, semantic enrichment of multimedia, and bridging of media breaks), as well as demonstrations on database technologies (like, mobile online image analysis and retrieval) are expected.
Topics of interest:
- Multimedia metadata models and mappings to databases
- Multimedia ontology and interoperability
- Multimedia ontology to database mapping and processing
- Multimedia query optimization and processing
- Ontology query languages and multimedia
- Semantic retrieval in multimedia databases
- Database management: security, indexing, reliability, distribution, transactions
- Indexing strategies for multimedia databases
- Semantic enrichment and annotation of multimedia
- Semantic metadata management
- Uncertainty in multimedia databases
- Human-computer interfaces for multimedia database access
- Mobile multimedia database services
- Context-aware multimedia
- Semantic adaptation of multimedia
- Proactive semantic multimedia delivery & distribution services
- Self-organization in service oriented multimedia architectures
- Semantic multimedia demonstrations and applications
WORKSHOP ON CONTEXT-AWARE RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS (CARS-2009)Posted: 21. July, 2009 in Academic Events
New York, NY, USA, October 25, 2009
(In conjunction with the 3rd ACM Conference on Recommender Systems)
The importance of contextual information has been recognized by researchers and practitioners in many disciplines, including e-commerce personalization, information retrieval, ubiquitous and mobile computing, data mining, marketing, and management. While a substantial amount of research has already been performed in the area of recommender systems, the vast majority of existing approaches focuses on recommending the most relevant items to users and does not take into account any additional contextual information, such as time, location, weather, or the company of other people. Therefore, this workshop aims to bring together researchers with wide-ranging backgrounds to identify important research questions, to exchange ideas from different research disciplines, and, more generally, to facilitate discussion and innovation in the area of context-aware recommender systems (CARS). In particular, topics of interest for this workshop include (but are not limited to):
— Context modeling techniques for recommender systems;
— Context-aware user modeling for recommender systems;
— Data sets for context-dependent recommendations;
— Algorithms for detecting the relevance of contextual data;
— Algorithms for incorporating contextual information into recommendation process;
— Algorithms for building explicit dependencies between contextual features and ratings;
— Interacting with context-aware recommender systems;
— Novel applications for context-aware recommender systems;
— Large-scale context-aware recommender systems;
— Evaluation of context-aware recommender systems.
In case the main topic of the paper is a challenging dataset for context-aware recommender systems, the author(s) should describe the data model and the main features of this dataset, and make the dataset available for the research community.
Paper submission. The length of submissions is 5 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. Microsoft Word and LaTeX templates for papers in ACM SIG format are provided at:
All submissions must be in English and the files should be in PDF format.
Paper submissions and reviews will be handled electronically; each paper will be evaluated by the workshop program committee based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity. All papers must be submitted through the CARS-2009 page on the EasyChair conference management site at:
Accepted papers. The accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website, and their authors will present their work in front of the workshop audience. The workshop will NOT request the copyright transfer from the authors; therefore, after receiving feedback at the workshop, the authors will be able to submit the improved versions of their papers to conferences and journals (the workshop organizers are currently exploring the possibilities to organize a special issue on this topic in some research journal).
Note about workshop participation. According to RecSys-2009 procedures, only accepted workshop participants can register to attend the workshops. Those, who do not have a paper at the CARS-2009 workshop but would still like to attend it, are encouraged to email a statement of interest (no more than 1
page) to the workshop chairs by August 10. The requests to participate will be honored based on the space available.
Deadline for paper submission: July 28, 2009 Notification of acceptance: August 15, 2009 Final versions due: September 15, 2009

After a very frustrating week, we ended up a win in Friday's pick for USD/JPY. After Fed Chairman Bernanke's dovish testimony to the Senate on Thursday we saw US dollar selling across the board, which carried over to the European session early the next morning. The US dollar sold off sharply which cause our short entry to trigger and eventually we hit pt1 and pt2.

Keep constructing triangles in the incircle of the previous triangle. What happens?
Scheduling games is a little more challenging than one might desire. Here are some tournament formats that sport schedulers use.
The problem is how did Archimedes calculate the lengths of the sides of the polygons which needed him to be able to calculate square roots?
Well done Geoffrey, University College School, London for this
excellent solution.
This problem is actually remarkably straightforward. A little
bit of algebra is all that is needed.
Let x and y each denote 1 of the 2 numbers to be multiplied
The layout of the grids in the question then corresponds to:
The 4 ways of calculating the left hand digit are expressed
algebraically as follows:
All 4 ways are algebraically equivalent, so this is why they
give the same answer.
To explain why the Vedic Sutra works, we run through the whole
method algebraically.
The right hand digit is ( 10 - x ) * ( 10 - y ).
The left hand digit is ( x + y - 10 ). We should remember that this
is the tens digit and multiply by 10 before summing both sides.
10 * ( x + y - 10 ) + ( 10 - x ) * ( 10 - y )
= 10x + 10y - 100 + 100 - 10x - 10y + xy
= xy
Using the Vedic Sutra, we get the result xy, which is indeed the
product of x and y.

text: The above described pre-specified analyses, however, cannot be interpreted as definitive.Cardiovascular disease is common among patients with CKD, including those treated with dialysis, among whom death due to cardiovascular disease is approximately 10 to 100-fold higher than in the general population. Secondary HPT, a disorder which is characterized by abnormal parathyroid hormone, calcium and phosphorus levels, has emerged as one of several complications of CKD thought to contribute to high rates of CV events and death in the patient population receiving dialysis. "The EVOLVE trial is one of the largest outcomes studies ever conducted in patients on dialysis, who are among our society's most chronically ill. Cardiovascular disease is unacceptably high among these patients, accounting for nearly half of all deaths. While EVOLVE did not meet its primary endpoint, the study provides important information related to the management of these patients," said Michael Severino, M.D., senior vice president of Global Development and corporate chief medical officer at Amgen. The most frequently reported adverse events in the Sensipar/Mimpara arm of the trial were consistent with the known safety profile of this therapy and included nausea, vomiting and hypocalcemia. As reported in the primary manuscript, rates of serious adverse events were similar in both groups. There were 115 and 90 neoplastic events (25 and 23 fatal) in the Sensipar/Mimpara and placebo groups, respectively. Sensipar/Mimpara is an oral calcimimetic agent approved for the treatment of secondary HPT in patients with CKD receiving dialysis. EVOLVE Trial DesignEVOLVE was an international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study of 3,883 patients with secondary HPT and CKD receiving dialysis. The trial, the largest of its kind in patients with CKD receiving dialysis, was designed to determine if treatment with Sensipar/Mimpara, compared to placebo, decreases the risk of all-cause mortality and CV morbidity. The primary composite endpoint of the study was time to death or first non-fatal cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure or peripheral vascular event). Secondary endpoints included time to individual components of the primary composite endpoint, cardiovascular mortality, stroke, bone fracture and parathyroidectomy.
