Poster D14, Monday, March 27, 8:00 – 10:00 am, Pacific Concourse
Can orienting endogenous spatial attention impact subjective awareness more than objective performance?
Marine Vernet1, Savannah Lokey1, Sara Ahmed1, Shruti Japee1, Valentinos Zachariou1, Leslie Ungerleider1; 1Laboratory of Brain and Cognition, NIMH/NIH
Visuospatial attention often improves objective visual performance by increasing the gain of the signal at the attended location and reducing noise at unattended locations. Attention is also believed to influence decision-making and thus subjective awareness: observers assign more weight to information extracted from the attended location. In this experiment, we assessed whether orienting endogenous visuospatial attention with a central visual cue differentially modulates objective performance and subjective awareness in the same discrimination task. Visual targets were laterally presented Gabor patches, either embedded in white noise (noise experiment) or presented at low contrast (contrast experiment). Participants reported the orientation of the target, either in a 3 alternative choice task allowing subjective reports (clockwise, counterclockwise or unknown) or in a 2 alternative forced-choice task for a strict objective performance evaluation (clockwise, counterclockwise). Fitting models from Signal Detection Theory showed that, for both noise and contrast experiments, attention reduced noise, but contrast gain and increased sensitivity (i.e., of objective performance) were observed only in the contrast experiment. Indeed, in the noise experiment, any signal enhancement at the target location would enhance both the target signal and the noise in which the target was embedded. Interestingly, for both experiments, more liberal decisions were taken, i.e., subjective awareness increased. The noise experiment is thus an experimental configuration where people think they see better, even if they do not. This could be explained by an internal representation of their attentional state that would influence awareness decision independent of visual signals.

gambolputty commented on issue #741: error "Unauthorized" (401) when loading "_security"-doc URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/741#issuecomment-321658802 Ok. I was able to reproduce this. Step 1: update the `_security`-doc: ``` ~/Python/projects $ curl http://admin:password@server:5984/database/_security -XPUT -d '{"admins":{"names":["admin"],"roles":[]},"members":{"names":[],"roles":[]}}' {"ok":true} ``` Step 2: check the content of `_security`-doc ``` ~/Python/projects $ curl http://admin:password@server:5984/database/_security -v * Trying 22.214.171.124... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to 18.104.22.168 (126.96.36.199) port 5984 (#0) * Server auth using Basic with user 'admin' > GET /newscorpus/_security HTTP/1.1 > Host: 18.104.22.168:5984 > Authorization: Basic JdNbLWnpE6WhWE4ddaWUAGYGnlU2ZtFydQRRUFtHjV== > User-Agent: curl/7.52.1 > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < X-CouchDB-Body-Time: 0 < X-Couch-Request-ID: a2d27bbf76 < Server: CouchDB/2.1.0 (Erlang OTP/18) < Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 19:36:57 GMT < Content-Type: application/json < Content-Length: 76 < Cache-Control: must-revalidate < {"admins":{"names":["admin"],"roles":[]},"members":{"names":[],"roles":[]}} * Curl_http_done: called premature == 0 * Connection #0 to host 22.214.171.124 left intact ``` Step 3: Navigate to Fauxton `http://server:5984/_utils/` & log in Step 4: Click on the database name & open the "Permissions"-page. "admin" is listed under admins on that page. Step 5: Adding a new member ("test") works, but after reloading the page, "admin" & "test" listed before are gone and Chrome DevTools reveals `401 Unauthorized`-Error (still logged in as admin). Response content: ``` {"error":"unauthorized","reason":"You are not authorized to access this db."} ``` Meanwhile member "test" was added to the `_security`-doc: ``` {"admins":{"names":["admin"],"roles":[]},"members":{"names":["test"],"roles":[]}} ``` Step 6: But reloading the "Permissions"-page doesn't reveal any name. I'm still getting a 401-Error in DevTools. And this is when the error message was written to the `_security`-doc, as @rnewson suggested: In my assumption that my changes made on the `Permissions`-page have not been saved (because I kept reloading the page and didn't see them), I tried to add the same member ("test") again. After reproducing this right now (adding the same member again), I can see the error message inside the `_security`-doc now, too, after executing CURL: ``` ~/Python/projects $ curl http://admin:password@server:5984/database/_security {"error":"unauthorized","reason":"You are not authorized to access this db.","members":{"names":["test"]}} ``` ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.

Message by Hon'ble External Affairs Minister Smt. Sushma Swaraj
on International Day of Yoga
It is a matter of immense happiness that at India's initiative the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga. This is the second year when we celebrate the International Day of Yoga with great fervor both in India and abroad. Last year also this event was celebrated on a grand scale and it is our expectation that this time the celebrations will be on twice the scale and will see twice the participation.
I would like to emphasize that Yoga is not mere exercise. Yoga is a combination of exercise for the body as well as the soul. For this reason, while a person feels exhausted after exercising, after Yoga the person is not exhausted, rather feels a sense of inner peace. If you start Yoga by doing Pranayam and end it with Yog Nidra or Shavasan you will achieve release from stress and you will feel new energy and vitality flow through your body. On the one hand Yogais a medium to fight chronic ailments, on the other it is also a means to attain spiritual energy.
Given the grand scale at which we are celebrating the International Day of Yoga, I invite eachand every one of you to join hands with us. I would also like to convey my best wishes to those who are unable to participate this time but who would be inspired by you to take up Yoga afreshand participate next time.

To the Editor About 8 years ago, network models entered the field of psychiatry.1 In this approach, psychiatric disorders are conceptualized as a dynamic interplay between symptoms over time, contrasting the traditional disease model of an underlying common cause. With the intention to describe how symptoms give rise to each other, the network approach would deal with processes taking place at the level of the individual.1 Nevertheless, almost all studies on networks have investigated this phenomenon at the group level.

Thermaltake Purepower 600 "W0083" PSU
I remember many of the older power supplies having only a few Molex connectors, maybe a FDD connector and the main power coupler. Come to think of it, that was only a few years back. With the increased power needs and the plethora of peripherals commonly in use nowadays, there is a need to have a lot more flexibility in the department.
Well, the folks at Thermaltake have heard these pleas and answered them. Besides the main power coupling and the auxiliary ports, you have eight 4-pin Molex, two FDD connectors, four native SATA power connectors, two PCI-Express connectors and two additional Molex for use with case cooling only.
This goes a long way in terms of that flexibility I was talking about. Add this to the amazing power levels along the rails and you have the making of an excellent power supply.
For those with nearly any motherboard that isn't totally obsolete, you will be set with regards to the main power coupling. This unit uses the now-common 20+4 configuration that allows you to give proper power to either a 20-pin or 24-pin mainboard.
Taking a closer look at the auxiliary power connector shows us the newer 4+4 configuration. This is one of the things that makes this model ATX 2.2 compliant. I've been seeing some newer motherboards that require this new 8-pin connection for the supplementary power requirements, so if yours needs this, you're set.
I still have a lot of mixed feelings about this particular feature. Antec came out with it a few years back and now Thermaltake has come up with their version as well. I'm talking about the "Case Fan Only Molex connectors. The concept behind this type of power connection is to allow the power supply to determine how fast a case fan needs to spin by using a thermal probe. The hotter the temperature it reads, the faster the fans spin. While this may be fine for some, I always want to be in firm control of cooling within the case. This is why I generally have very good results no matter the type cooling I use, because I know how to make a good cooling setup work properly.
It all comes down to what you're comfortable with, but I make it a habit to secure these little devils out of the way with a zip tie. To each their own.

Like knows like.
When Ichigo came to from whatever, his zanpakutou still in shikai form, he found himself lying on a sandy beach. Above him, the sky was that shade that meant that it was going to be a beautiful tropical island sunset worthy of a photo. He had no way of knowing that, however, having never actually been on a tropical island himself.
There were also two people watching him. The girl slipped from her seat on a piece of driftwood and started towards him as he lifted his head blearily to focus on her and her companion.
When she was close enough, he chose a random question from the thousand or so milling about his head and asked her directly. "How did I get here?"
The girl chewed her pretty lip, glancing back at her companion. "I can't explain it exactly. Axel would know. Personally?" She leaned in as though they were fellow conspirators in this little game, offering her hand to help him to his feet in the soft sand. Her lips brushed against his ear. "I call it a big black hole of darkness portal thingie."
Ichigo blinked. Oh. Okay. Not what he had expected to hear, not that he had expected to hear anything that made sense. Even 'the inside of a Menos Grande' would have held more purchase for him. He glanced to his zanpakutou, remembering just what it was he had been doing before he had been… abducted? Transported? Kidnapped?
"Spirited to safety," a voice drawled, and he noticed the girl's companion properly, if belatedly, for the first time (at the same time realising that the man was either a mindreader or he'd spoken aloud). Black clothes, not unlike his own but – he grinned a little; leather? – and a bright red head of hair to rival – no, beat – his own. The girl was also a redhead, and a very attractive one at that. Sort of like Rukia, but red. Not at all like Inoue, that was for sure, except perhaps in her evident love of pink.
The silence lengthened, and Ichigo suddenly realised it was because he was staring at them. "So why am I here?" He asked hastily, leaning on Zangetsu and ignoring the way his zanpakutou sank into the sand, thus not providing a very good support at all.
The man – Axel, the girl had called him – eyed it. "Big sword," he noted nonchalantly.
The girl snickered.
Ichigo blinked. "…Did I miss the reasoning there?" He asked finally, eventually pulling his zanpakutou out of the sand and slinging it over his shoulder.
"Kairi thought you needed help." The man replied, thumbing at the girl.
Ichigo's anger flared. "I needed help?"
"What's your name?" The girl suddenly asked.
"Ichigo." He answered automatically, and cursed inwardly for replying so quickly.
Kairi slunk towards him. He had a sudden feeling that he was in shit, for the way she looked at him, far from looking like an innocent girl like at the beginning, or like an enemy as he had come to expect of far too many people, she was behaving like he was her prey or something. And not in a stabby-stab fashion, either. She was positively purring!
"Nice sword," she said, reaching out to touch his hand where he was gripping Zangetsu. Behind her, he could see an irritating smirk on Axel's face. "Why don't you stay with us for a bit? Strawberry."
He nearly took a swipe at her then – girl or not, she was probably an enemy if she taunted him so – but before he could even lift his hand, it was being held by Axel. "Not so fast," the man said smoothly. "You might be powerful, but the rules are different here. For starters, you don't hit people who're trying to be nice. And you can't hit Kairi, either. I won't allow it."
"What're you going to do to stop me?" He seethed, trying to pull his hand out that black-gloved hold.
Kairi laughed then, seemingly ignoring Ichigo's temper. "He doesn't have to do a thing." She told him, running slender fingers across his throat. "He can summon Nobodies to do his bidding. Oh, and there are plenty of people here, who I doubt would even stop to vote before they ordered your castration."
Ichigo had heard plenty of threats in his time, but none had ever so directly involved his manhood, and none had ever come from the mouth of a pretty little thing like her. He gulped, feeling her soft fingers at his Adam's apple. "Right." He said. "What are you trying to do?"
They both laughed this time. "Just want some fun," Axel said, lazily releasing his hand and wrapping his other arm around Ichigo's waist. Strange, that. Ichigo had no idea why the man would do something like that "The way we see it?" He shared a look with Kairi, and drew her in, where she snuggled happily against his side. "Like knows like."
That was vague. "What, as in, you have red hair and I have red hair?" He queried. It was the only similarity he could think of. He doubted the man meant their personalities, however alike and brusque they were.
"Somewhat," Kairi murmured, tracing those sneaky fingers of hers down his chest, now. "And you're hot."
He swallowed convulsively. "I could say the same of you," he offered tentatively.
"See?" Axel whispered in his ear. "Now, since we are now three attractive acquaintances, do you see what we have that could be worth doing?"
"And more fun than fighting a giant Heartless, or whatever that was." Kairi added. Her hands seemed very preoccupied with finding their way through the layers of his robe. "Did I mention this particular stretch of beach tends to be deserted?" She glanced up at him innocently, but her violet eyes were smouldering.
She must have been referring to the Menos Grande, he figured, and said as much. With Axel's breath in his ear, and Kairi's hands acting very daring, it was very hard to miss what they must have been getting at. It was also getting difficult to focus. On anything.
"Whatever," Axel said, and kissed him roughly.
Have been reading a lot of fics lately by incandescens, and she seems to have a lot of crossovers. So I thought, why not. Somewhat inspired by her. Lovely fics she writes. Kairi and Axel abducting Ichigo for the sole purpose of playing seems pretty fun to me.

Pretty easy, overall.
Course Overview:
As a psychology major, the best place to start was intro to psychology. It was my first psych class and my favorite. The class was not incredibly in depth but focused on covering a wide variety of topics in a short amount of time. With that said, I never felt rushed or crammed. If you are not sure if psychology is your thing or not, this would be a great class to start with that would keep you interested and you would have fun learning. Another great part of this class and professor were the optional final exams. This of course depends on the teacher but she was incredible and made our finals optional.
Course highlights:
My favorite part of the course was learning about our brains and how they function on a psychological basis. Learning how our memory works, or does not work for some was fascinating. I also enjoyed learning about positive reinforcement related to operant conditioning.
Hours per week:
0-2 hours
Advice for students:
This is a great place to embark on the journey of psychology. After taking this class I have genuinely received and stored information that I was taught. It is also a great course that will lead you in the direct field of study you would like to pursue related to psychology.

1 - Hahaha first ep can almost pass as a movie XD I was surprised at how fast the plot was moving in this ep too
2 - omg, for reals, like this episode can just become a movie
by the way, i thought the boy, in the begging, was gonna be the main character :(
i thought he was cute
plus , so dramatic
3 - Oh my GOD! Bookmarked already! What a strong first episode. I love loVE LOVE the female lead! She's fearless and tough around the edges but very kind and sweet! My kinda gal. And the intern is a cutie, too. I like that he stands up for himself, though I can just tell it's gonna get him into trouble because of his history with hospitals (the flashback at the beginning of the epi). I'm getting many intense vibes. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. I didn't expect much from a first episode, but oh boy, what an absolute treat!
I love medical dramas so much, and this one seems to have everything all in one. Romance, comedy, drama, kickass operating scenes, and a badass female lead! fkfhkasfksajdfkljasfksaf. I just hope it continues like that and doesn't flop halfway (like Doctors, for example).
4 - Omg this has to be the most interesting first episode I have seen in a while. As of recently I have been in a drama rut- all my favorite dramas have ended and the ones that didn't keep my interest I dropped. I have high hopes for this one though, every moment was interesting! I love the main actress and actor together. Can't wait for ep 2.

A Counselor's Perspective - Why camp?
Seeing the faith of the kids transform throughout the week and filling their hearts with Jesus Christ is the number one reason I want to come back to Lutheran Lakeside Camp another summer. I have never had such a fulfilling, fun, life-changing experience with children. I feel like the experience of a Christian camp is one of the best life experiences any person can have. Being a part of education children about God's love, miracles in the Bible, and the unique plan God has for each and every person is something I've enjoyed more than anything I've done in my life. Lutheran Lakeside Camp is a beautiful place to be and most importantly has a beautiful message. I learned so much about the faith of others as well as my own faith. I want to be a part of this intentional Christian community again this next summer and positively impact campers as well as staff in our journeys through our lives with Christ.
Christ Walk
It was nearing the end of the week and we saw a program called "Christ Walk". It was about the life of Christ and what he went through to save us all from the devil. It really got through to me. I was crying for the rest of the night. Little did I know that this was because God had got into my heart. I talked to someone about it and slowly the tears stopped coming. When the person I talked to explained this, I felt not only closer to God, but also closer to the people I love.
THREE meals a DAY!
...at one point a girl who was with us at camp was talking to me on the dock one day with our other kids gathered around. She was getting very loud about how only rich people can help with this camp and she kept going on and on about this. Other kids were telling her that people could help in many ways but she was getting louder and louder about how she was not rich and so there was nothing she could provide. Finally a boy got real serious and told her to "be quiet" and then he talked about his father who works every day just to provide a house and some food...he went on to say that anyone can help here...even hammering a nail is a way to give back. All the other kids got real quiet and were surprised at how serious he was about this...that anyone can help. Later the next day, we were riding back home in the car. He talked to me and those in the car about how much he enjoyed camp...he also talked about how good the food was and that he has never had so much food in his life...THREE MEALS A DAY! He, matter of factly, talked about how at home he only has one meal a day.
And of course the other fun things
My summers at Lakeside always make me smile. It was at Lakeside that I felt at peace. It was at Lakeside that I felt accepted. It was at Lakeside that I could hear God talking to ME. It was at Lakeside that I KNEW I was special. And then there were the other fun things.
Lasting Effects
Jake, 14, after giving his counselor grief all week and testing everyone's patience, wrote a letter to D-Rock (his counselor's nickname) telling him how important it was for him to be with D-Rock that week. You guys at camp have gotten me out from hiding. Without D-Rock I would still not have faith or believe in God. I have learned a lot about God and who He really is. (Jake has served as a counselor in training two summers since)
Sara, a thirteen year old confirmation camper, attended her first session with Pastor Bob and Pastor Carol who talked about forgiveness as their topic for the week. Pastor Carol made the comment that being angry with someone who has hurt a person we love is like holding a burning coal in our hand. It only hurts us and not the person we are angry with. This stayed in Sara's mind until Thursday night at campfire campers were asked to pray for someone. As Sara picked up a candle to place in the cross she began sobbing and her cabin mates and counselor were crying as well. Sara had told all of them her story of when she was 5 years old on her way with her Mom to the first day of Kindergarten a young man being initiated in a gang came up to them and shot her Mom. Sara's mom died from the gunshot. Sara prayed for that young man and forgave him that night.
A thirteen year old girl was just getting on the bus heading for camp when her parents mentioned to her that they were getting a divorce and would talk with her on her arrival back home. A summer counselor heard the conversation and tried to console the girl as she cried for the entirety of the trip to camp. During the week at camp, the girl was surrounded with love and support from her cabin mates and counselors. It didn't lessen the pain of her parents' decision to get a divorce, but all that community helped her know that she was loved by many new friends who kept in contact with her long after her week at camp had ended.
"5 Summers in a Row"
I have been going for 5 summers now and i must say I will never stop going to camp! I found my family there and I don't like ignoring them... But most importantly I found Christ there. In 3rd grade I didn't know to much about Christ but now I can tell you (not everything) but a lot about Christ and I am happy that I have found Him! In 3rd I went to camp and at first I was scared because I was the only Junior camper there besides 3 boys. But the staff made me feel so welcome and I was able to feel relaxed. It was the greatest camp experience I have ever had! Thanks Lutheran Lakeside!! < 3

"Ringing Endorsement"
This is, by far, the best church camp I know of. I attended as a youth, and my children have followed in my footsteps. I cannot say enough about my experiences, the friendships I made, and how much closer to God you feel. The staff and facilities are excellent. I pray everyone who needs inner peace finds it, and feel this is a phenomenal place to try. Very, VERY highly recommended

"Emily Hall 2"
This was my second time to camp this year.Every camper there went with their church because it was a confirmation camp.I made tons of new friends.No doubt, every counselor,support staff,etc. was welcoming, nice, and cool.There was lots of support staff that i havent met yet, so it was very cool meeting them.My 2 favorite support staff were Patrick and Karley.When we played the sports at camp Patrick made them 10 times better,"which i didnt think was even possible thats sports could get any better".And Karley made the music fun, although all the songs at camp have something to do with Christ there were no hyms at camp, all the songs are fun and filled with spirit.As usual I had an awesome time at camp.EH

"Emily Hall 1"
when i went to camp the 2nd time this year i thought their would be no change. everyone went with their churches because it was confirmation camp the 1st group of kids of the year even though i knew some people from my church they were mostly guys. I made tons of new friends.probably my two favorite support staff were Patrick and karley.my two favorite things are music and sports and karley makes music so fun, and patrick makes the sports 10 times better, which i didnt think was even possible.as always i had an amazing time at lutheran lakeside!!!!!

"...Lakeside the first time..."
When i went to Lakeside the first time i went to camp i was worried that i wouldn't meet any new people and i sure was wrong i had the time of my life at camp my counselor AK made it MUCH better i had an unbelievable time and cant wait to go back next summer and in the future i will surely apply to be a Counselor or Utility Player!

"The Beautiful People's Tour..."
The Beautiful People's Tour was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed every second of it from the long car rides to working with the little kids! The counselors, AK and Sam, made this opportuinty a blast and I'm sure everyone involved really did have the best week ever, just like the sign says. We became such a close knit community which made heading for home one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Lakeside has given me so many amazing opportunities and friendships over the years. I can't wait to be a UP next summer!
Second Year
"...5 summers in a row..."
I'm 20 now but went to camp 5 summers in a row, met sooo many friends and had the time of my life learning to sail, canoe, rock climb and so much more. Church camp is something I wish everyone could experience at least once. I hope to be able to come and join a morning worship or camp fire the weekend July 13th or 14th, our pastor recently moved away and I have found it hard for me to make it to church since then. A weekend back at church camp to reconnect would do me good!
Carly Burlington
The first time I went to camp,wow was I sacred. But then I gained confendice. I'm way more cofiendent,all because of camp!
Second Year
"My love for God is as Wide as ever..."
Every year I go to camp I meet new people, and I see my friends, but best of all I come home! There is nothing greater than seeing everyone you love! (Even if you don't know them, grow to love them!) I am now a Sailor and Lutheran Lakeside and I hope my experience as a sailor is going to be just as great as my Junior experience. My first year I was the only girl in the cabin and sure I didn't like that. But my counselor made me feel so welcome that the next day I realized that even without cabin mates, you can still have the best time of your life! If you plan to go to camp I hope you will have the same connection that I did!! :) My love for God is as Wide as ever, and that is all possible because of camp! I < 3 LUTHERAN LAKESIDE CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that's all I can say about lakeside camp. I loved every little piece of it. Counselors, meeting new people, and becoming closer to god. When I left, I was crying so hard that I couldn't see where I was going. My counselors name was Carley and we hugged until my arms hurt. I am going to write to her and I hope she gets it. I loved it.'Go to lakeside. Sincerely, Ali(: Stud #1((:

"its real and it changed my life..."
i felt this belonging feeling and understanding here at lutheran lakeside. the support and kindness of everyone there... its real and it changed my life and the way i want to live it. i learned so much there about God and true meanings and all i want to say is thank you guys SO much. i would never trade it back for anything.

"Brought to Tears"
I have been two Lakeside twice now. I was forced to go the first year, but because of the great experience, I chose to go back again. The reasons are endless on why I went back. My friendships I have made have stayed strong and those people are the ones always there for me. I can count on them because of how close we got at camp. I don't think I have ever felt closer to God. Everything you do is related to Him somehow. Your relationship feels stronger every time you pray. I miss camp so much. Everything that goes on at that camp is the best experience ever. I have been brought to tears both times I left. It's so hard to part from all the great counselors and friends you got to know. I love camp! :)

"The very first time..."
The very first time i went to camp i remember sorta spaceing out during bible study and thinking i can be inside with T.V that was when i was little, and now i am so excited for camp we have so much fun you would not believe it!!!!!! And now i am zoned in to what ever we are doing in bible study, in song worship, you name it, i wish i could stay longer at camp every year!
P.S. The best camp!
I<3 my GOD!
I hope you all get to go someday!
You have helped my relationship with GOD!
this is my 6th year going to camp.....
"Before Lakeside..."
Before lakeside, church was just something that my parents made me go to every Sunday. When I went to lakeside for the first time i learned so much about why it is important for me to go to church. Now four years later, I am in confirmation, and I am excited to go to church!! Thank you Lutheran Lakeside!!
I have gone to Lakeside for 4 years.
"he changed my life forever..."
i went to camp and didnt really believe in god then i went and he changed my life forever now every year i go to camp and have the best time of my life meeting new friends,tasting new food and learning about god everyday
he lead me toward him

"He has me secure in the palm of His hand, always there, no matter what."
I came to Lakeside for family weekend July 20-22, 2007. It was great to see my son, Kyle and his friends at Lakeside. I was able to go on the zip line and I realized after I got home how this experience was such a metaphor for my life as a believer in Christ. I didn't make it up the tower (tried twice, but only made it half-way) This represented my feeble attempts to be in control of my life before I trusted Jesus. I eventually made it to the top by climbing the ladder inside the tower. When I got to the top of the tower, I was really uncomfortable. I realized later this represented the sin in my life and life in this world without Christ as my foundation. It represented how life feels without Him in my life. The harness securing me to the zip line represented Jesus, Himself. He has me secure in the palm of His hand, always there, no matter what. Next came the leap. For me that was the easy part. I was so uncomfortable on the platform that leaning in and letting go was easy. That represented trusting Christ as my Savior and living for Him everyday. The joy of both rides is like nothing else in this world!
Thanks to everyone for the great family weekend!

"I found God here"
I went to camp for a week in the year 2007. I found God here. I got closer to God here. It was nearing the end of the week, and we saw a program called Christ Walk. It was about the life of Christ, and what he went through to save us all from the wrath of Satan. It really got through to me. I was crying for the reat of the night. Little did I know that this was because God had got into my heart. I talked to someone about it, and slowly the tears stopped coming. When the person I talked to explained this, I felt not only closer to God, but also closer to the people I love.
"BEST week of my life."
Lakeside describes me. You know how when people always ask you where your special place is and most people respond with a beach or their bedroom? Well, my special place is Lakeside. I had always gone to Lakeside when I was younger, but I had never really gotten the full meaning of it. This last summer (2006) I went to the senior high camp and had the BEST week of my life. There were only like 5 of us campers in the group (but 2 campers to 2 counselors in a cabin!!!) but it was amazing! We all got along so well and the counselors were amazing. I'm going back this summer, the last time i can go as a camper :(. Hopefully this time we can actually go on mission trip…:). I just wanted to let you all know how much Lakeside means to me and how much I love you all!!!!
2006 and Many Years Before...
"I pray that many more kids are receiving the blessings"
I am now a 40-something adult. When I look back on my teenage years, my summers at Lakeside always make me smile. It was at Lakeside that I felt at peace. It was at Lakeside that I felt accepted. It was at Lakeside that I could hear God talking to ME. It was a Lakeside that I KNEW I was special. And then there were the other fun things. Like Lori Luhmann being the "crazy ice cream ladyâ€. Or Bob Petroff and his crazy dives . The flour wars. Romans vs Christians. The Friday night dances. The "around the lodge you must go†(I never could make it all the way thru a meal). The campfires on the hill. Crying my eyes out on the last night. Swimming in the murky lagoon (the pool was built the year after I graduated). Many many memories and there's a picture album in a box somewhere with all the pictures. I pray that many more kids are receiving the blessings that I had thru Lakeside. God Bless you All

"We're coming back!"
Hi! Well i went to Lakeside about 1 year ago and i loved it!! We played these awsome games and it was amazing! My friend and I are hoping to go back next year.
"everyone was nice and awesome"
I had never been to a sleepaway camp befor and was nervious. That and that I wasnt Lutheran that i was going with my lutheran friend made me think that no one would like me. But when i got there everyone was nice and awesome and they didnt mind i wasnt luthern. So this year im coming back with the same friend and i invited some of my other friends.

"Our week of Day camp..."
I just wanted to thank you and the counselors again for coming to our church last week. It was a wonderful experience for us and the children of this community. You have a very talented staff of young people. It was a pleasure to meet and work with them.
"Three Meals a Day!"
...at one point the Latina (girl) who was with us at camp was talking to me on the dock one day with our other kids gathered around. She was getting very loud about how only rich people can help with this camp and she kept going on and on about this. Other kids were telling her that people could help in many ways but she was getting louder and louder about how she was not rich and so there was nothing she could provide. Finally, a Latino boy got real serious and told her to "be quiet†and then he talked about his father who works every day just to provide a house and some food...he went on to say that anyone can help here...even hammering a nail is a way to give back. All the other kids got real quiet and were surprised at how serious he was about this...that anyone can help. Later the next day, we were riding back in the car. He talked to me and those in the car about how much he enjoyed camp...he also talked about how good the food was and that he has never had so much food in his life...THREE MEALS A DAY! He, matter of factly, talked about how at home he only has one meal a day. This is the same kid who told the girl that anyone can give back...that it was not about money.
The camp made a good impact on these kids, THANKS!

Gladys Gonzalez EAGE president 2013-2014
aving reached the closing period in my term of office, I would like to look back at the activities of the past months as well as look forward, writes Gladys Gonzalez, EAGE president. First, I would like to thank the team in our Kuala Lumpur office for their service and above all you, our members, for your engagement and participation. Our Association has moved from strength to strength during the past year. With more than 17,000 members we are well positioned for a very successful remainder of the year. We enjoy an enviable position as part of the global geoscience and energy community, and as a result EAGE is weathering the economic storms that continue to plague most of Europe and many other parts of the world.

gap'. This refers to the need to narrow the gap between geoscience and engineering disciplines; professional development across the regions; academic and industry efforts to develop emerging technologies to address society's needs; for young professionals and women in career development; professional degrees and professional occupation; and active and inactive members. Following this initiative, EAGE has established the Women in Geoscience and Engineering Special Interest Community (WGE SIC). We have also launched the EAGE Young Professional (YP) Community, which facilitates online networking and the participation of YPs in related EAGE activities. All EAGE members who are below 35 years of age are encouraged to join the YP network. I also would like to continue to work with sister and local societies to explore where we can make a difference. To that end, planned initiatives include multi-disciplinary conferences, workshops and more. Last February in Kuala Lumpur, we joined forces with the Malaysian chapter of the SPWLA in organizing a first and very successful 'Petrophysics Meets Geoscience' conference and we will cooperate with SPG India for a workshop on Broadband Seismic from 2-4 June 2014 in Mumbai; we also continue our cooperation with our sister societies for the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) in Kuala Lumpur from 10-12 December 2014; and we will join the AAPG and the Vietnam Petroleum Association (VPA) for an International Conference on 'Fractured Reservoirs' (17-18 March 2015 in Vung Tau, Vietnam); with AAPG we are also planning a geoscience conference in the Asian hotspot Myanmar.

Fractured reservoirs of Vietnam will be front and centre at 2015 international conference
his is one for your 2015 diary! EAGE and AAPG together with the Vietnam Petroleum Association (VPA) are organizing the First Joint International Conference on 'Fractured Reservoirs' from 17-18 March 2015 in Vung Tau, Vietnam. The conference is also supported by SPE Vietnam section. The fractured basement reservoir of White Tiger oil field is the biggest oil reservoir discovered up to now on the continental shelf of Vietnam. After its discovery, a number of other oil fields in fractured basement were discovered such as Rang Dong, Ruby, Black Lion, Yellow Lion, Brown Lion, Yellow Tuna, South-Eastern Dragon, Eastern Dragon, Southern Dragon and Turtle. Hence the oil production of fractured basement reservoirs makes up 80% of the total oil production of Vietnam. This discovery of oil reservoirs in fractured basement has changed the concept of oil and gas prospecting, exploration Read more on p. 2 ➤

We are continually narrowing gaps by making material available to more and more geoscientists and engineers through social media, EAGE recorded e-lectures that are available on EAGE's YouTube channel. The EET 8 tour by Enru Liu (ExxonMobil) was launched during the EAGE Annual Meeting in London in 2013 will be taking in Asia Pacific in May. As a modern association, EAGE entered the world of 2.0 last year and started to communicate via social media. We wish to interact with members on social media creating, sharing and/ or exchanging information and ideas. Also the Asia Pacific region has its own LinkedIn group, where you can discuss topics and ask questions – so if you haven't already, join this group! There are a series of excellent conferences in the year ahead. The annual Near Surface Geoscience Conference and Exhibition is undergoing major changes; with more presentations, more coverage, greater networking opportunities and more interdisciplinary working. The event from 14 to 18 September 2014 in Athens, will consist of three conferences running parallel to each other. In addition to the 20th European Meeting

of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics, this edition of Near Surface Geoscience will also incorporate the First Applied Shallow Marine Conference and the EuroGPR School. I will also be happy to welcome you at our 76th EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition 2014 – Amsterdam '14; which attracts around 7,000 delegates from around the world. The event, from 16 to 19 June, is themed 'Experience the Energy'. Delegates can participate in approximately 90 technical sessions and the event will also be an opportunity for around 350 exhibitors to display their technology and products. The main business of EAGE's annual meeting is how the multi-disciplinary approach to oil and gas exploration and production fostered by EAGE can contribute to meeting the energy demands of the future. 'Experience' will play an essential role in providing sustainable solutions. A major priority is to build on the experience of our current work-
force and share this experience with new generations of professionals. It is already very clear that manpower shortage could be a major issue in the years to come, which is why we put such an emphasis on the Student Programme and associated activities to encourage new recruits into the geosciences. I would like to finish by wishing our members in the Asia Pacific Region and the many others who participate in our local events, or take an interest in our geoscience and engineering community, all the best for the rest of 2014. Our professional association is by the members and for the members, to promote the innovative development and application of geoscience and engineering. Your involvement, contribution and partnership on different levels make a significant difference at a global scale in 'Narrowing the gap'. I hope to see you at one of our events either in the Asia Pacific or somewhere else in the world. Gladys Gonzalez President EAGE 2013-2014

and development in Vietnam and the region, also making a considerable contribution to the world's oil and gas science knowledge. The discovery of oil fields in fractured basement and the organization of their effective production is a great achievement of the Vietnamese oil and gas industry, making a significant contribution to stabilization of the national economy development. With over 20 years of organizing production, Vietsovpetro as well as numerous other companies have accumulated considerable experience in organizing and regulating production conditions of oil reservoirs in fractured basement. However, this is an oil reservoir characterized by complicated geological structure with rather high heterogeneity; the collector model is quite different from that of conventional oil reservoirs in sediments. Based on these characteristics, the production system, injection system and their regulation are quite different and still new to the world. Though oil has been produced from White Tiger basement reservoir for over 20 years and from reservoirs in the basement of other oil fields for approximately a decade, a huge volume of research work has
been done with great success as well as failure. There are still many controversial issues, which are being studied with the aim of enhancing oil recovery from this especially rare reservoir. These incude the formation mechanism of oil reservoirs in basement, the reason why they have been discovered mostly in Cuu Long basin, reservoir model, well distribution, injection and production regime, drilling technology used in lost circulation conditions, solutions to bottom-hole treatment and solutions to enhancing oil replacement efficiency. The conference to be held next year in Vietnam has the exceptionally important task of assembling petroleum specialists from various countries in the world to discuss, exchange experience and views in order to identify solutions to enhancing exploration and production of fractured basement reservoirs. The range of disciplines invovled will include geology, geophysics, petrophysics, drilling technology, production and transportation technology, production system, modelling and application of measures for EOR. In addition to the conference, specialized training courses and a two-day field trip covering the route from Vung Tau to Phan Thiet will be organized. Watch out for further announcements!
Everyone a winner at the 'Petrophysics meets Geoscience' event in Kuala Lumpur
early 300 participants from five continents enjoyed the first joint EAGE/ FESM (Formation Evaluation Society of Malaysia) Asia Pacific regional conference on 'Petrophysics meets Geoscience', held in Kuala Lumpur. The two-day technical programme on 1718 February 2014 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre focused on the theme 'Petrophysics meets Geoscience: from nano pores to mega structures'. The award for the best oral presentation went to Ton Loermans for his talk entitled 'AML makes mudlogging from underdog to game changer, and workhorse for unconventionals'. The award for the best poster went to Ng Kwai Loong (Baker Hughes) for his poster on 'When petrophysicists meet directional driller in coiled-tubing drilling reservoir navigation'.
I got more out of this conference than any for many years - Andrew Logan (Talisman). The busy programme of technical papers and poster sessions, was complemented by four fullday short courses, a student/young professional course, a field trip to Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo), and a core viewing workshop at the PETRONAS Geo-sample Centre. All the short courses
Group photo before the conference in Kuala Lumpur.
were fully subscribed proving their demand and high level of interest amongst petrophysicists and geoscientists. This intensive technical programme was well garnished with social events, kicked off by the welcome reception at the conference venue. This brought together petrophysicists and geoscience professionals from around the globe. On Monday 17 February delegates were invited to dine at the nostalgic Saloma Bistro and Theatre Restaurant with an acrobatic lion dance performance while enjoying local gastronomy. The end of the conference was marked by a dinner at the Malaysian Petroleum Club, a private business club. Attendees had the opportunity for further discussion and socializing while enjoying the stunning city view from the iconic PETRONAS Twin Towers Skybridge. The small two-day exhibition at the event was supported by Schlumberger, EPSLog, Halliburton, CGG, Baker Hughes and ExxonMobil. According to a survey of participants, almost 65% found it 'very important' and 35% found it 'important' to further integrate the two disciplines of petrophysics and geoscience. 88% of the delegates said that the conference succeeded in doing this. The findings confirm the view of attendee Andrew Logan of Talisman. He said: 'I want to congratulate the organizers on an excellent conference. I got more out of this conference than any for many years. The size, the single session and the quality of the presentations were well suited to our disciplines.' This event was honoured with the attendance of Effendy Cheng Abdullah, vice president and CEO PETRONAS Exploration as well as Elton Frost, president, SPWLA, and Mohammed Alfaraj, EAGE vice president-elect. The two society representatives both called for further strengthening of the ties between EAGE and SPWLA. The Malaysian SPWLA chapter (FESM) together with the regional EAGE office in KL have paved the way for potential future events to foster cooperation and integration between disciplines and address key industry topics important to the profession.

Coming up – an awesome week at Amsterdam '14
ext month we all meet up at the Annual Meeting, this year in Amsterdam beginning on 16 June with the Opening Session and the Icebreaker. The theme of the event ponders the question of how can geoscientists best help the world to meet its future energy needs? The answer lies in the official title of the 76th EAGE Conference & Exhibition, which is 'Experiencing the Energy'. In other words we will be exploring how the multidisciplinary approach to oil and gas exploration and production fostered by EAGE can contribute to meeting future energy needs. Amsterdam '14 is the largest, multi-disciplinary geoscience event of its kind in the world. The full six-day programme (including pre- and post event happenings) is probably the most ambitious yet. It includes a large conference, major technical exhibition, workshops, short courses, and field trips presenting the latest developments in geophysics, geology and reservoir/ petroleum engineering, plus a comprehensive student programme. Top-quality papers can be expected at the EAGE Annual
(Netherlands). Kuipers is the first Dutchman to have undertaken two space missions, the second lasting over six months. Hopefully he will inspire students with some insight into some of his achievements and career.
Conference. The Technical Committee received a record-breaking submission of 1308 valid abstracts which had to be reviewed and readied for selection, an indication of the importance of the EAGE Annual Meeting for the geoscience community. The technical programme has been organized with parallel sessions in 15 rooms and 13 posterboxes plus 15 student poster sessions. This year's delegates will be faced with an abundance of choices from this incredibly tasty menu, which consists of 48 oral and 24 poster geophysics sessions, 12 oral and 5 poster geology sessions, 12 oral and 2.5 poster reservoir sessions, 8.5 oral and 4 poster integration and general sessions and 1.5 oral and one poster session on near surface. In addition there are the three dedicated sessions, two executive sessions and the forum. Meantime for those interested in the exhibition, there will be an impressive display of equipment and services with over 22,000 m2 of space already accounted for, including the increasingly popular Job Centre. The student experience in Amsterdam will be cosmic! That's because astronaut André Kuipers will be touching down for the Student Evening on 17 June, sponsored by PGS Geophysical
The full six-day programme (including pre- and post event happenings) is probably the most ambitious yet. The full Student Programme offers technical poster presentations and the opportunity to attend a short course on geothermal energy and workshops on core evaluations and play-based exploration. A whole lot goes on in the Student Court area, such as the EAGE Geo-Quiz, the Student Challenge and two motivational speeches from Roel Snieder (Centre for Wave Phenomena, Colorado School of Mines) and Salomon Kroonenberg (professor emeritus, Department of Geotechnology, Delft University of Technology). If you haven't already done so, it's time to register for this awesome week in Amsterdam.

On a mission from Malaya
EAGE goes social!
Amar Amir, has been an exploration geoscientist with PETRONAS since 2010 following his study for a BSc in geological sciences at the University of Texas Austin sponsored by his company. This last year he has been at Imperial College London pursuing an MSc in petroleum geoscience, on a full scholarship from the Malaysian government. Here he answers some questions about his career so far.
Why did you choose the oil and gas industry? I was offered a full sponsorship from PETRONAS to study geology in the United States upon graduating high school. My interest in the outdoors and sciences persuaded me to accept the offer and since then I have never looked back. What is your current position and what does it involve? My current position as exploration geoscientist involves dealing with geological and geophysical data to develop geological models with the aim of discovering commercially viable and exploitable oil and gas reserves. Essentially, I do a lot of seismic interpretation work to identify prospects and leads which will be matured into well candidates by developing a geological model, establishing its petroleum system, estimating the resource and addressing risks associated with them. Why did you decide to work at PETRONAS I was sponsored by PETRONAS during my undergraduate degree and was offered a job in the PETRONAS Twin Towers upon graduation. It was an easy decision to make and in fact, a great honor to serve the national oil company. What do you like and dislike about your job? I like the fact that my job can potentially make a massive impact on the organization. Exploration success leads to an exponential growth of the company as new commercially viable discoveries will lead to future development and production projects for many years to come. On the other hand, drilling dry holes will give you nightmares! What have been the defining moments in your career and how did these factors influence you professionally? The defining moments in my career so far have been during the drilling operation of the prospect that my team worked on for about a year. The fact that the decision to drill the multi-million dollar well based on the team's technical finding
id you know that EAGE is hosting a LinkedIn page, a Facebook page and a YouTube channel? It's because social media provides a great opportunity to interact with members in creating, sharing and/or exchanging information and ideas. It also enables the Association to reach even more geoscientists, engineers and others outside its membership database. In its LinkedIn profile, EAGE has several groups, including regional groups, the annual group, students group and the special interest groups: Young Professionals and Women in Geoscience. Each group has its own main topic, but shares information to create an interactive platform in which members can communicate, share suggestions and give their opinion about matters related to the geoscience world and EAGE. Why not give it a try? These social media sites offer members an excellent opportunity to expand their professional network. Find out which group is of interest for you and join. Stay up to date with what's happening in the Asia Pacific region, for example, by joining the Asia Pacific group on LinkedIn. Also, have a look at the EAGE Facebook page. Last-minute news and photos will be posted regularly. Last but not least is the EAGE YouTube channel, from which you can access some excellent e-lectures. Experts on a range of subjects have turned their presentations into a 20 minute e-lecture format. New e-lectures will be launched on a monthly basis. If you have any suggestions on how EAGE can make use of social media, please get in touch with us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
was a little awe-inspiring. I had a steep learning curve during the three-month drilling operations, which involved real-time decision-making as we dealt with drilling engineers, service contractors and senior management on daily basis. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years, I see myself working in a commercial role within the upstream business evaluating new ventures opportunities. What advice can you give young professionals who want to pursue a career in the oil and gas industry? I would advise young professionals who want a successful career in the oil and gas industry to seek out a mentor. Many successes are built by standing on the shoulders of the giants. Most effective mentor relationships happen naturally rather than being dictated by the organization mentorship programme. So be on the lookout from Day 1 and learn as much from your mentor as possible so that you can exceed your expectations.

Workshop to explore carbonate gas E&P challenge in Asia and the Middle East
highly topical EAGE Workshop is due to be held on 3-5 November 2014 in Langkawi, Malaysia. The topic will be 'Offshore Carbonate Gas Field E&P in Asia and Middle East: Challenges, Technologies and Economics' The importance of the event is emphasized by natural gas consumption in the Asia-Pacific region. This has increased more than 25% during the last four years – twice as fast as the world average – while production only increased 11%, and proved gas reserves increased by only 2% in the region, according to the 2013 BP Statistical Review of World Energy. Another source − Energy outlook for Asia and Pacific, (APEC/ADB, Oct 2013), suggests demand for gas is projected to increase 3.9% per year in Asia-Pacific in the next 10 years, all of which stresses the importance of renewing gas reserves and increasing production in the region. In the last four years several significant gas discoveries have highlighted the great potential of offshore carbonates. New understanding about potential targets and the acquisition of new exploration data should help to enable more discoveries in the region in the near future.
Developing these new gas reserves offshore remains challenging, technically and economically. The specifics of carbonates, such as the presence of natural fractures and karsts, require appropriate drilling know-how and technologies in order to drill and complete wells at reasonable costs. Some reservoir properties, such as heterogeneity and unexpected fluid distribution, need to be properly assessed in order to achieve production targets and long-term gas recovery objectives. Other parameters impact field development economics, for example, the CO2 content in produced gas and the cost of exporting gas.
Developing these new gas reserves offshore remains challenging, technically and economically.
The Middle East remains the undisputed world leading region in terms of gas proven reserves with 2800 tcf of which 90% are in carbonates. The Middle East is also the leader for offshore gas reserves and production, and one super-giant offshore field – the North Field in Qatar, and South Par in Iran – represents close to one third of the worldwide gas proven reserves (2050 tcf). The field alone produced more than 30 bcf/day in 2012, i.e. 9.5% of the worldwide gas production in 2012. The workshop will bring together experts from oil and gas companies, service companies, and academic research institutions, with specific knowledge and interest in the field of carbonates and offshore gas exploration and production in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions. We welcome presentations on case studies about carbonate gas fields in the Middle East with lessons learned that will find applications in Asia. Interested speakers and intending participants should contact the EAGE Asia Pacific office at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about this workshop. You may visit the event's official website at www.eage.org.

Shell 2D survey underway
CNPC gas find in Sichuan Basin is special China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) has discovered a monomer marine uncompartmentalised gas reservoir in the Sichuan Basin, the largest ever found in China. As certified by the Ministry of Land and Resources, this newly added proven gas in place in the Longwangmiao formation of Cambrian system in the Moxi block of Anyue gas field is 440,385 bcm, with technically recoverable reserves hitting 308.2 bcm. The find features large reserve scale, broad gas-bearing areas, high formation pressure, high gas flow and superior gas components. The production test obtained average per well daily output of 1.1 million m3, and the wells in production yield an average 0.6 million m3/d. The Anyue gas field is located at the paleo uplift of central Sichuan. Since 2011, CNPC has drilled two exploration wells, Gaoshi-1 and Moxi-8, both obtaining high-yield gas flows of one million m3/d from the Simian system and Cambrian system respectively. It has taken CNPC less than two years to find the Longwangmiao gas reservoir, identify its reserves, and make a successful production test. The phase-I capacity building project of 4 bcm is now in full swing, and the phase-II capacity building project of 6 bcm has already been kicked off. At present, gas production test at Moxi block has cumulatively yielded more than 600 million m3.
