No, I don't. Missing out on what? Going to the prom? Sorry but one evening isn't going to make up for what would otherwise be 13 years of bull dust perpetrated by people who have too great a sense of their own importance in this world, not to mention the 'importance' afforded to materialism and so-called celebrity. Eugh! Anyway I'm more of a mud and boots and chasing sheep and cows around our property-type girl than one who cares about posh frocks and make up and fancy hairstyles and getting drunk! Anyway we do have parties of our own...the type of parties that attract people from hundreds of kilometres away and are still going strong a week later but which don't involve getting as drunk as you can in the shortest possible time and then copping off with the closest boy.
I'm 14, home educated, compete in sports at State level, have 3 part time (voluntary) jobs in addition to helping to teach Primary 1 kids at swimming camp and helping out at a camp for disadvantaged city teenagers on a neighbouring property. I have heaps of friends from both the white and Aboriginal communities and a full and involved social life (too full if my parents are to be believed, lol!)...and much more besides.
By staying at home, I've learnt to speak six languages; that would not have been possible if I'd gone to school. By staying at home, I'll be able to do the veterinary medecine course at TAFE next March; that wouldn't be possible if I went to school. By staying at home, I was able to get my first published piece of writing into print in a national farming magazine at age 12; I couldn't have done that if I was away at school. By staying at home I am able to concentrate on learning the skills I'll need in the future, *MY* future; I could not have done that if I was at school.
Why on earth would I want to swap any of that just to have (among other things) a bunch of disillusioned teachers on my back 24/7? Reckon I'd have to be nuts to consider it, LOL.
EDIT: "I think as young adults you have to learn to hold your own, learn to be tolerant of other people and be more independant."
Well studies show that home educated kids are generally MORE tolerant of other people and MORE independent than public schooled kids.
Anyway, without knowing the situation and future circumstances of every single home educated teenager and every single schooled teenager, it is impossible for anyone to say what they do or do not need from their education, social situation etc. You are just making sweeping generalisations in your post (and how tolerant is that), looking at teenagers as if we were all mass produced in some factory somewhere to think the same, look the same, feel the same, want the same and so be moulded the same!
The whole concept of 'teenagers' being a different breed with their own needs (or even existing at all as a separate social entity!) is a recent modern construction which was unheard of prior to the 1950s - and, not only did society survive and thrive without the existence of teenagers, but kids themselves grew up far more holistically when there was no such thing as teenagers or teenaged needs!
There are no teenagers in the third world...and no teenagers in the many tribal communities up here. The whole idea that there is any such thing pathologically as 'teenagers' with 'their own separate (teenaged) needs' is a myth. It was dreamt up in the mid-20th century, in developed nations, as a marketing ploy by people who had things to sell and who suddenly realised that there was money to be made out of older children and young adults.
I like it, the only thing I am missing out on is being made fun and put down constantly for not wanting to do drugs, or any of the other junk that public school kids think is cool :).
I know several homeschooled teens. They ALL enjoy homeschooling. In fact, they all have the option to continue homeschooling or to go to school and they have all chosen homeschooling.
One girl I know is 16 and about to start her 4th year homeschooling. She has NO desire to be back in school. She is in competitive sports and is around other kids roughly her age several times a week. She hears the nonsense that goes on. She also coaches for a sports program and just had a new girl added to the coaching staff: a pregnant 15yo who is living with her 18yo boyfriend and his family. They're planning on getting married. It's one thing after another with the spats and hearing about the parties and seeing some of the kids come into training high and hearing about all kinds of other stuff. Her own experience in school was bad enough and hearing the things she hears has ensured that she will not return to school before graduating. She doesn't feel like she's missing out on anything at all. People ask her about missing out on graduation, but that's not her thing anyhow--she'd rather just go out to a nice restaurant for supper with some friends and family. And definitely NOT be all done up in a fancy dress and hair--totally not her thing.
I was at a homeschooling session with some teens and moms who were looking into homeschooling or who had questions about homeschooling during the teen years. They were asked the same thing: do you feel you're missing out on anything? They didn't. They had full, active lives, were only spending a few hours a day on school work instead of being in school most of the day and coming home with homework. The only thing one boy lamented was the lack of a really good science lab, but he admitted that he had some public school friends who only got to use the lab once a year. He said that being in school to use the lab only once during the year didn't outweigh all the benefits of studying at home.
Understand that where I live, the homeschoolers tend to be VERY active. Many have part-time jobs, are involved in sports, volunteer, do things with homeschooled and public schooled friends... They're not holed away from the world around them.
I was homeschooled at the age of 6 and 7 in music notation and touch typing and it got me As in school.
I know about twenty six teenaged homeschoolers personally who would hate to go back to public school, as it would mess up their lives. They have jobs and activities that they do all day, and they'd miss their friends and interests. I probably know somewhere in the realm of 50 to 60 online from support groups and annual conferences who love homeschooling. I know about twenty 'graduated' homeschoolers who have everything going for them, and don't regret a day. I don't know personally one homeschooler who wished they were back in school?
My kids are aged 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, and 4 and they don't want to go to school. In fact, yesterday was our big annual NOT back to school party, and we spent all day at the public splashpad, the older kids had their skateboards, stereo, DS's, the younger kids have balloons, bubbles, chalk, decorate your own snacks, make your own ice cream, play in the water. We all tie dyed shirts, about 70 of us hanging out all day.
So, how many different teens do you have opinions from?
I'm 15 and am home schooled. I like it, I really like it a lot.
I think it's great to have a say in your education, it's so much more relaxed, I like having a teacher that actually loves me and cares about me especially and my success in this world and I have so much more me time!
Time to do stuff that I want to do!
Sure I'd like to try public school but over all I think home schooling is the best!
im 18 and this is my last year of highschool. I like bein home schooled i can get my work done byfor the schools here can even get to think about letting the kids out for the day and i have 14 classes altogether. the only think u miss out on would be prom but u can still go to that here is someone askes u or u find someone that goes to school to go with. the other thingu miss out on where i am is talkin to as many people or friends and i have lots of time for that when they get out of school if i would just get out and do it lol but its not always a good thing talkin to some people thats not the best of people. like bullys or durgys and such.so no big loss if u ask me. the big thing u want to think about is getting in to college which as long as its not a really big college ur ok just do a few more classes and get a higher that avg. sat score and ur fine. the coast gaurd acadmey looks for an 1900 i think is what it was and on a fake test i took at home and i got an 1800 first try so a little studing and im in so hope this helped.
i am 14 and i enjoy being home schooled because you get to learn at your own pace. now that i will be a freshman i do feel as though i am a little left out because at home you don't get the opportunity to go to dances or join any "clubs" but i have many public school friends that assure me that i can go to a dance with them as long as i am invited and pay. i also have home schooled friends who take 1 or 2 classes at a public school such as art. so they can join whatever they want to there. so i don't really feel too left out.
i actually failed my freshman year for the second time and the court is making me be homeschooled and i havent started yet but idkkk if im to great witht he idea but i guess i can graduate with people my age on time if i do it
I love being homeschooled, I'm in my 11th year in highschool.
It's wonderful. My teacher is very supportive and considerate, he doesn't scrutinize me or has an arrogant personality like some former public school teachers I've had in the past. Everything is one on one and I'm not distracted or bored to death I go on Wed. for three hours in that amount of time I return my homework (two credits a week) and learn the new material for the next unit I have to complete and take quizzes and chapter/unit test.
I actually learn the work, understand it, I don't feel left behind. I also don't have the constant worry about what cute jeans to wear to school to attract that hot jock, or to wear some revealing cleavage to fit in with the crowd, I also don't have to worry about drug and peer pressure and the pressure to have sex or want a boyfriend. During free time I focus on art and reading. I do socialize with friends like go out every weekend night. No, I don't feel like I'm missing out because I probably wouldn't go to prom or homecoming, I could still attend football games I just have to pay a three dollar entrance fee and I could still meet kids from our local highschool at popular after school hang-outs, like the mall, movie theatre, bowling ally, skatepark, ect.
Since homestudies my STAR/CAT6 testing scores have progressed, I passed both my highschool exit exams with the help of CAHSEE MATH/ELA labs, and I do the recomended homework the state of California wants me to do which is at least 20 hr.a week or sometimes more if I complete the work or if I feel one particular subject is easy. It's helped me stay on task complete and understand the credit system and next semester I'm going to look into colleges. I might also finish a semester early if I want. I could still graduate on stage our distric has a special ceromony for graduating home-schooled students at the end of each year.
Oh my goodness, I hated being homeschooled! It was absolutely horrible. I was homeschooled from 11 and up. During the first year, I slowly lost contact with my friends. They were always busy and hanging with their new friends (Middle School had just started after all). I was alone with no friends. My father wanted me to become my brother - study study study and go to a good college (he got a scholarship to Yale). I become distant with my Dad. He worked on his computer all the time, so he never had time to "play" with me anyways.
I think it somewhat ruined my childhood. I had a childhood without friends and fun.

Hundreds protest Lebanese parliament's proposed tax hikes
BEIRUT: Protesters in central Beirut hurled empty water bottles at Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri on Sunday when he tried to calm hundreds of people rallying against proposed tax hikes.
Carrying placards and banners, around 2,000 people flooded Riad al-Solh square to protest against tax hikes that parliament is considering to fund public sector pay rises.
"The road will be long ... and we will be by your side and will fight corruption," Hariri vowed. But protesters shouted "thief" and threw plastic bottles at the premier, who left soon after.
On Twitter, Hariri later urged activists to form a committee "to raise their demands and discuss them positively".
Protester Tania al-Khoury said the government was "imposing taxes that constantly pile up, without providing anything in return, no services, no public transportation, no medical care".
Scores of policemen barricaded the entrances to the government headquarters and parliament during the protest, which followed three days of smaller demonstrations in Beirut.
Lebanese authorities are seeking to raise taxes to help agree a deal on increasing wages for public employees, part of a wider effort led by Hariri to approve the country's first state budget in 12 years.
Lawmakers approved several hikes last week, the most prominent being a one percentage point increase in the sales tax. Parliament still has to approve others in the coming weeks, and the president must then sign off on all of them, before the new taxes take effect.
Protesters flocked to Beirut on Sunday, waving Lebanese flags and blasting the words "We will not pay" through their megaphones.
In recent days, various civil society groups and some leading political parties have called for people to take to the streets in protest.
The Christian Kataeb party and the Progressive Socialist Party, led by Druze politician Walid Jumblatt, have staunchly opposed the new taxes. The Iranian-backed Shia Hezbollah movement has also voiced reservations about some of the increases.
Sunni leader Hariri became premier in October in a power-sharing deal that saw Michel Aoun, a staunch Hezbollah ally, elected president. Hariri, whose Saudi-backed coalition opposed Hezbollah for years, formed a unity cabinet that includes nearly all of Lebanon's main parties.
Aoun's election ended a 29-month presidential vacuum in a country that had been crippled by political gridlock for years.
"We had hopes for this new government, but unfortunately ... these politicians are still exploiting resources for their profit," said protester Mahmoud Fakih. "This is to refuse the taxes that are being imposed on poor people."
Signs and slogans accused parliament of theft and people chanted for lawmakers to step down. "Take your hands out of my pockets," one placard read.
Lebanon's parliament has extended its own mandate twice since 2013, a move that critics including the European Union have condemned as unconstitutional. Current lawmakers were elected in 2009 for what was meant to be four-year terms.—Reuters

I receive a lot of wedding booking from clients living abroad - usually Australia or New Zealand. This time it was a bit closer to home. Fiona and Alex live in the UK. Fiona is Irish and Alex is from England and they celebrated their wedding in Luttrellstown Castle. It's a venue that I've worked in before and it is my absolute favourite Irish venue.
The beautiful Castle Leslie in Co Monaghan is the setting for the wedding of Estelle & John. You can see why it is such a popular wedding venue in Ireland.
It's that time of the year again - to look back at 2014 and to also look forward to 2015. Last year was a hectic year with travel. So busy that I gave up on Facebook and also blogging so I'm now starting to try and play catch-up.
Here's a small selection of some of my favourites from last year.
Most of my business comes from word of mouth and Rachel and James's wedding in Waterford Castle was no exception. James's brother got married a few years back in the Station House Hotel in Kilmessan and I covered that wedding also. April can always be a bit iffy when it comes to weather but as usual my luck held out yet again and we had a perfect warm day.
Early April saw in the wedding of Clara & Tommie in the Brooklodge in Macreddin Village, Wicklow. I first met Clara & Tommie back in 2012 when they booked me. We immediately clicked and I realised back then that Clara was one of those personalities that was permanently and genuinely happy!! However, on her wedding day, I don't think I've come across a bride that laughed so much throughout the whole day. Weddings are always happy events but wow was this one special one to be present at....! I loved every minute....
First wedding of 2014 was in february and what a day. Carole & Bryan were married in Rathfeigh and then onto the wonderful Tankardstown House just outside Slane for the reception. After all the storms we were absolutely blessed to have such a perfect weather on the day. The house and grounds of Tankardstown were looking particularly amazing with the soft winter sunlight.
Christmas can be a lovely time for a wedding. Sometimes you can get lucky with the weather and this time we did. We couldn't have asked for better weather on the day that Niamh & Brian tied the knot at The Boyne Hill Estate outside Navan. Not too cold and perfect light.

Find info concerning Corning Community College geomatics, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Are you are considering an associates degree in electronics engineering, or a bachelor of science in mechanical or civil engineering? Concentrating on Corning Community College geomatics, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the urban planning department for course registration deadlines, and land surveying program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Corning Community College.
Urban planning covers everything from ensuring water-supply networks, to designing municipal solid-waste management and disposal. In the case of underground utility networks, it also includes maintaining conduits and access of electrical and telecommunications cables. Municipal engineers may also design civil projects including large buildings, industrial plants, or treatment facilities. Transportation engineering focuses on the construction and maintainence of streets, highways, and mass transit systems. Urban planners averaged $80,500 annually in 2017, much higher than in many other occupations.
Surveyors may be called in to lay out the routes of railways, roads, and canals before construction begins. New advances in Global Positioning Systems (GPS) allow high-precision surveys down to the square foot, a greater resolution than was previously available. Although surveying is a distinct profession with separate qualifications and licensing arrangements, civil engineers must be trained in the basics of mapping, as well as geographic information system (GIS). Beyond major requirements within the urban planning department, you may consider Occidental College woodworking classes as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Nubian languages
|Sudan, Egypt
|Linguistic classification
The Nubian languages (Arabic: لغات نوبية) are a group of related languages spoken by the Nubians of Nubia, a region along the Nile in southern Egypt and northern Sudan. They form a branch of Eastern Sudanic, which is part of the wider Nilo-Saharan phylum.
In the 1973 Arab–Israeli War Egypt employed Nubian-speaking Nubian people as codetalkers.[2][3][4]
Bechhaus-Gerst (1996) finds the following varieties:
- Nobiin, the largest Nubian language. Previously known by the geographic terms Mahas and Fadicca/Fiadicca.
- Midob (Meidob), in and around the Malha volcanic crater in North Darfur.
- Kenzi and Dongolawi, no longer considered a single language. May be closest to Birgid.
- Birgid, spoken north of Nyala around Menawashei until the 1970s. The last surviving aged speakers were interviewed by Thelwall at this time. Some equally-aged speakers on Gezira Aba, just north of Kosti on the Nile south of Khartoum, were interviewed by Thelwall in 1980.
- Hill Nubian, a group of closely related dialects spoken in various villages in the northern Nuba Mountains; in particular by the Dilling, Debri and Kadaru.
An additional language, Haraza, is known only from a few dozen words recalled by village elders in 1923.[5][6]
Old Nubian is preserved in at least a hundred pages of documents, mostly of a Christian religious nature, written with an uncial variety of the Greek alphabet, extended with three Coptic letters and three unique to Old Nubian, apparently derived from Meroitic. These documents range in date from the 8th to the 15th century AD. Old Nubian is currently considered ancestral to modern Nobiin.
Synchronic research on the Nubian languages began in the last decades of the nineteenth century, first focusing on the Nile Nubian languages Nobiin and Dongolawi/Kenzi. Several well-known Africanists have occupied themselves with Nubian, most notably Lepsius (1880), Reinisch (1879) and Meinhof (1918); other early Nubian scholars include Almkvist and Schäfer. Additionally, important comparative work on the Nubian languages has been carried out by Thelwall and Bechhaus-Gerst in the second half of the twentieth century.
The Nubian languages are traditionally divided into three branches: Northern (Nile), Western (Darfur) and Central. Ethnologue's classification is as follows:[7]
- Northern (Nile)
- Western (Darfur)
- Central
- Kenzi
- Birgid
- Dongolawi
- Hill (Kordofan)
- Kadaru-Ghulfan
- Ghulfan
- Kadaru
- Unclassified
- Dair
- Dilling
- El Hugeirat
- Karko
- Wali
- Kadaru-Ghulfan
Glottolog groups all non-Northern Nubian branches in a single group named West-Central Nubian. Additionally, within Hill Nubian, Glottolog places Dair in the same branch as Kadaru.[8]
Some classifications place Kenzi-Dongolawi in the same group as Nobiin.[9] However, this classification is no longer generally accepted; Thelwall (1982) and Bechhaus-Gerst (1996) argued that there are significant differences between Kenzi-Dongolawi and Nobiin, and that Nobiin must have split off from the other Nubian languages earlier than Kenzi-Dongolawi.
There are three currently active proposals for a Nubian alphabet: based on the Arabic script, the Latin script and the Old Nubian alphabet. Since the 1950s, Latin has been used by four authors, Arabic by two and Old Nubian by one, in the publication of various books of proverbs, dictionaries and textbooks. For Arabic, the extended ISESCO system[citation needed] may be used to indicate vowels and consonants not found in the Arabic alphabet itself.

Director's Note
Ramayan is the greatest living tradition of our times: imparting universal and timeless values.
The story of Ram has been handed down to us as 'the conquest of good over evil'. Ram's life consists of a multitude of episodes where his divinity and compassion come forth. It is time to lift the subtle but impregnable veil that lies between the divine and us, thereby making our own lives more meaningful.
The creative team consists of persons with a passionate determination to enlighten through this production, the values of Ram. In the realm of the spoken word, a script was specially commissioned and executed by Neelabh and Arvind Kumar; Shanti Sharma and Biswajit Roy Chowdhury as music directors met the challenges thrown up. Shashidharan Nair has emerged from the existing choreographic format. Badal and Sudha Jagannathan have gone beyond the format of 'calendar art' to sophistication. The especially commissioned script has conceptualized each event of Ram's life in a way that the spectator may imbibe some of these values into their very own lives.
The slide projection in English, as a special feature, to make the show more 'user friendly'.
The costumes and sets have been designed keeping in mind the contemporary relevance of this evergreen production. An attempt has been made to deviate from 'Calendar' type of sets — frequently visible in the electronic media — to stylized iconography.
The life of Ram is a medley of allegories which provide the foundation of a metaphysical way of life. Whether it is Ram's obedience of his father, his unflinching denial in the face of adversity, the mirage of the golden deer, his ability to transcend barriers of caste and creed by accepting Shabri's fruits or Hanuman's determination to make a gigantic focused leap; these are all emblematic of the way of life which form a part of the viewers subconscious. It is the Kendra's attempt through this production to excavate the layers and realize the inner meaning of the message of Ram.
As a production, 'Ram' provides perfect opportunities to bring and knit together talents. Nurturing these has become the main intent and concern of unraveling this myth. Working on 'Ram — a paragon of exemplary virtues' has been possessing and exciting, but never exhausting, for, here freedom came to life and dreams became a reality.
Shobha Deepak Singh

Coffee PotCustomer Earl M., of Ormond Beach, FL, emailed us this cleaning tip.
"I bought Stain Solver as I read it could clean the stains in tile grout. I had tried everything I knew and nothing worked. I used Stain Solver per instructions and the stains were gone! I was truly impressed. This morning, I used it to clean the built up deposits in my percolator coffee pot. Now the stains were absolutely black, covering the entire insides of the pot. It was almost a question of 'Do I toss it out?' 'Or give Stain Solver a try?' I mixed up some Stain Solver in the percolator and let it sit for an hour. When I drained it out, the build up stains were gone and the inside of the stainless steel coffee looked as if it was brand new. My wife now thinks I am a genius.
Thanks again for a great product."

Building safetyCould a tragedy like the Grenfell Tower fire happen in the U.S.?
The Grenfell Tower fire in London has triggered questions about how the tragedy could have happened, whether it could happen elsewhere, and what might be learned from it to prevent future disasters. The Grenfell Tower fire spread much faster and more intensely than anyone expected. From what we know so far, there are physical, cultural and legal reasons dozens of people died. Addressing each of them will help British authorities, and fire protection and fire prevention professionals around the world, improve their efforts to reduce the chance of future tragedies like the one at Grenfell Tower.
Building safetyAt least 600 U.K high-rises have combustible cladding installed
British Prime Minister Theresa May told the House of Commons on Thursday that investigators have found combustible cladding on "a number" of publicly owned tower blocks similar to Grenfell Tower. "Shortly before I came to the chamber, I was informed that a number of these tests have come back as combustible," she said. The prime minister's said her office estimated that 600 high-rise buildings in England have cladding similar to Grenfell Tower.
Building safetyGrenfell Tower disaster: how did the fire spread so quickly?
In the middle of the night, while most residents were sleeping, a devastating fire started at Grenfell Tower in London. From an engineering perspective, there are a number of factors in the design of the 24-storey tower block that may have contributed to the speed and scale of the blaze. Most of the current guidelines across the world contain detailed design requirements for fire safety such as evacuation routes, compartmentation and structural fire design. But Grenfell Tower was built in 1974. At that time, the rules and regulations were not as clear and well-developed as they are now.
Building safetyNew materials to make buildings better, safer
A new type of construction material, called cross-laminated timber, is currently approved for buildings with up to six stories. Designers would like to use it in taller buildings because it is environmentally sustainable and can speed the construction process. To use it for those taller buildings, the industry needs to understand how the timber would perform during a fire. NIST experiments are measuring the material's structural performance and the amount of energy the timber contributes to the fire.
WildfiresDrones help in better understanding of wildfires
U.S. Geological Survey scientists and partners are taking technology to the next level, using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to acquire both fire intensity and emissions data during prescribed burns. This effort combines expertise from multiple USGS partners that could reduce the harmful effects of smoke impacts from use of prescribed burns. Lessening the risk to property and lives during wildfires is a primary purpose of prescribed burns.
WildfiresNew era of western wildfire requires new ways of protecting people, ecosystems
Current wildfire policy cannot adequately protect people, homes, and ecosystems from the longer, hotter fire seasons climate change is causing. Efforts to extinguish every blaze and reduce the buildup of dead wood and forest undergrowth are becoming increasingly inadequate on their own. Instead, experts urge policymakers and communities to embrace policy reform that will promote adaptation to increasing wildfire and warming.
WildfiresHumans have dramatically increased extent, duration of U.S. wildfire season
The United States has experienced some of its largest wildfires on record over the past decade, especially in the western half of the country. The duration and intensity of future wildfire seasons is a point of national concern given the potentially severe impact on agriculture, ecosystems, recreation, and other economic sectors, as well as the high cost of extinguishing blazes. The annual cost of fighting wildfires in the United States has exceeded $2 billion in recent years. Humans have dramatically increased the spatial and seasonal extent of wildfires across the United States in recent decades and ignited more than 840,000 blazes in the spring, fall and winter seasons over a 21-year period, according to a new study.
WildfiresExtreme fires will increasingly be part of our global landscape
Wildfire burned more than 10 million acres in the United States in 2015, and cost over $2 billion to suppress. There were 23 million landscape fires around the world between 2002 and 2013, and researchers define 478 of them as extreme wildfire events. Increasingly dangerous fire weather is forecast as the global footprint of extreme fires expands.
WildfiresDevastating wildfires in Eastern forests likely to be repeated
The intense wildfires that swept through the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee late last month were a tragic melding of the past and the future. The fast-moving, wind-whipped blazes that burned more than 150,000 acres, killed fourteen people and damaged 2,400 structures in Gatlinburg and Sevier County may be a portent of things to come.
FirefightersThermal sensor provides warning for firefighter safety
The conditions inside a burning building are perilous and can change rapidly. For firefighters searching for people trapped within a burning building, these risks can be exacerbated in a matter of seconds as exposure to high temperature may cause their personal protective equipment (PPE) to fail. This is particularly true in the presence of infrared radiation, which can rapidly increase the temperature of a firefighter's environment without warning. DHS S&T is now working with partners to develop the Burn Saver Thermal Sensor, a battery-powered device that will be carried by firefighters and detects thermal changes in their operating environments.
WildfiresThe origins of Tennessee's recent wildfires
Wildfires raged recently through the foothills of Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains, fueled by severe drought and high winds in the eastern part of the state. The fires damaged or destroyed more than 1,400 structures, including homes, chapels, and resort cabins. Fourteen people were killed, and nearly 150 others were injured. Last week, two juveniles were taken into custody and charged with aggravated arson in connection with the deadly wildfires – but sources such as Climate Central suggested that rising temperatures may have played a role in the fires. Does climate change play a role in determining the frequency and intensity of wildfires?
FirefightingFirefighters to have bushfire predictions at the fingertips
Researchers at the University of Western Australia are developing a new touchscreen device that can be mounted in a fire truck to help firefighters predict where and when a bushfire will spread. The researchers are modifying bushfire simulation software Australis into a high-end tablet to provide accurate predictions of fire behavior more rapidly than current methods.
Forest firesClimate change has doubled Western U.S. forest fire area
Human-induced climate change has doubled the area affected by forest fires in the U.S. West over the last thirty years. Scientists say that since 1984, heightened temperatures and resulting aridity have caused fires to spread across an additional 16,000 square miles than they otherwise would have — an area larger than the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut combined. The scientists warn that further warming will increase fire exponentially in coming decades.
Public safetyPublic safety consolidation works well for some communities, but not for others
In the first comprehensive work of its kind, a Michigan State University criminologist has completed a study on the implementation and outcomes of public safety consolidation — the merging of a city's police and fire departments. The study finds that while public safety consolidation can work well for some communities, it is not the best solution for others.
WildfiresImpact of demographic development on fires in ecosystems as strong as that of climate change
Every year, about 350 million hectares of land are devastated by fires worldwide. This corresponds to about the size of India. To estimate the resulting damage to human health and economy, precise prognosis of the future development of fires is of crucial importance. Previous studies often considered climate change to be the most important factor. Now, a group of scientists has found that population development has the same impact at least.

So, i just got a new job, i was at a 100% windows environment . At my new job, we have a few linux servers (Ubuntu, Centos). I need to be comfortable with linux os so i can help with the administration of these servers other than keeping to my windows servers.
I have installed Centos and ubuntu server in my home environment. I have also installed a PBX box "from scratch" ie, started with core ubuntu server, added asterisks, added vicidial, and all (25+) applications i needed. From this i learned how to create files, extract apps to files, run files and move apps and files around ubuntu server without the gui.
Now, i need to keep learning...but i learn best when i have a project to complete. Do you guys have any projects a new person like me can complete in a home lab and learn more about linux os?
Thank you.

I agree it better to learn something new when you have a goal in mind.
I would look about your new job. What do they have missing in their environment? Do they have a network monitor setup to watch the devices? (hint: nagios). Do they use voip? (hint: FreePBX). Do they deploy windows images to client computers (hint: fog) Do they have / use instant messaging inside their network (hit: openfire). Do they have an IPS system? (hint: snort) Do they have an IDS? (hint: OSSIM). Do they have a SRM solution? (hint: vTiger/SugarCRM)
I could go on, but look about you to see what's missing in their environment and then build out a proof of concept system at home.

Nagios was my first project in Linux, from a pure learning standpoint I would suggest staying with the vanilla version. This is purely to keep you in the terminal and getting that muscle memory to the point where you can navigate the box with your eyes closed. When shit hits the fan and your dealing with a Linux env you do not want to waste time just trying to get to your log files and figure out how to read them.
Dec 6, 2015 at 10:02 UTC
Also take a look at "hardware" side of Linux servers. First thing i set up on new Linux servers is RAID. If you're not in luck of having hardware RAID controllers, md will do super fine.
Next thing highly worth learning is Docker, new guy in town of Linux virtualisation and quite likely a new standard.
If your environment is based on Windows AD, Samba for Linux servers will make many things far more comfortable, like passwordless authentication for your Windows users in many Linux apps and services (file shares, webapps, email server, etc.)
Dec 6, 2015 at 10:13 UTC
Some starter projects:
- Set up a LAMP server with PHPmyadmin. This will help you learn how to do the basics of a multi-software install, configure files and add programs from external repositories.
- Set up a simple SAMBA server. It can be harder than it would appear, especially if you want to keep SELinux enabled,
- Try setting up some enterprise application like Splunk, Clonezilla or connect a linux machine to a Active Directory environment.

Install Squid.
Good project to start on and can be useful if you don't already have a Web Proxy implemented.
Squid can be enhanced by adding reporting tools that interrogate the Squid access logs. I have used SARG in the past and found it quite handy.
There are AD plugins for Squid so AD authentication can be implemented. When combined with a reporting tool, you can see where and when users are surfing.
Squid Guard can be added if you wish to filter web pages against blacklist.
Could keep you busy for a little while/

My first linux project was Nagios. It is a complete network monitoring tool and well worth the effort to learn
Dec 7, 2015 at 7:50 UTC
Yeah, as others have said - do some networking fun. Set up your own cloud, perhaps - start with Samba and a nice streaming server, then file sync and share or calendar/contacts with tools like Kolab or ownCloud... A nice series of tutorials can be found at digitalocean, see this one about installing MediaWiki.Edited Dec 7, 2015 at 8:02 UTC

I was new to Linux not too long ago but my company were trying to setup new systems as cheaply as possible. I had a project to setup a Linux web server (Apache), an email system (Zimbra) and a password reset tool (PWM) and to integrate them with users in Microsoft Active Directory. I also had the advantage of a manager who had used Linux previously and knew a few of the commands to get me started. He recommended for me to learn how to configure LAMP first of all with PHPMyAdmin which was also recommended by somebody else in this post and then from there I moved onto the projects and also bash scripting for backup scripts. I used CentOS with the minimum install as I figured that this would force me to learn everything from the command shell. This would also allow the most efficient use of the server hardware as it wouldn't be using extra resources to run the GUI. You can also configure the GUI to run only when required and can disable it again afterwards.
I would recommend installing Notepad++ from a client machine with the FTP addon installed (I believe it is installed by default in newer versions) to begin with. You can then connect to your Linux server from this program using SSH and browse the file system and edit config files easily until you get used to doing all of this from the command shell. I find myself editing most of the config files using the command shell but then using Notepad++ for writing scripts but it is handy to see a visual display of the file system through Notepad++ unless you opt to install the GUI.
Things to watch out for to begin with are SELINUX and the IPtables firewall (CentOS 6) or FireWallD (CentOS 7). These can block access to many things so may be worth disabling these features in your test environment and then enable them later once you are familiar with the system. Also, a lot of the time when things are not working I've found that it is usually due to the Linux file permissions. You need to ensure that the current user is allowed to read/execute the relevant files.
Setting up LAMP and then configuring an Apache web server homepage would be the simplest first project.

Try doing some normal things you'd do on Windows. Change the IP address, hostname, add a disk, view, stop and start services, etc. All from the command line of course! Then work up to installing and upgrading programs from repositories and RPM packages. Try setting up a quick website.
Dec 7, 2015 at 2:15 UTC
You will gain considerable traction in Linux by simply learning your bash commands. Learn bash inside out and backward, and learn to use vi.

I would recommend setting up a few essential services that are needed for remote administration. Try setting up VNC, SFTP, and SSH. These services will help you to get started in completing other tasks. Also, getting familiar with Apache wouldnt hurt either. If you are a gamer, you can always try to host your own Counter Strike Source server :)

When you are ready for the challenge, get a home AD/DC setup and going using Samba on CentOS. Little more advanced but if you can figure that out you will probably be more than fine at the office.
Dec 7, 2015 at 4:28 UTC
Best way to learn is to get Windows off your computer and install a Linux distro on it, this way you will force yourself to learn how to do stuff.

Unless you already have a solid imaging solution in place (Ghost, WDS, etc), I would make FOG Computer Cloner the first project. We actually had WDS in place, but it was not working well, so I implemented FOG to replace it and I must say, it is MUCH better!!
Dec 7, 2015 at 6:22 UTC
I would recommend getting very familiar with Samba and the LAMP stack.

Humidifiers can provide many health benefits, such as preventing nosebleeds, dry skin, sinus problems, and can even inhibit the growth of certain molds. Furthermore, it's good for your house too. When the air gets too dry, paint can crack and furniture can warp. But what is the best room humidifier to get? Everyone is familiar with setting a humidifier up at night, only to find that it leaves the area around it soaking wet by morning. And having too much moisture in the air can be just as harmful as not having enough. This comparison between the ReliOn Cool Mist Humidifier and the Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier will help you determine which one is the best idea for your family. The Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier has a well-known brand name associated with it, which makes you feel confident that you are getting a good quality product. Although it sprays a very fine mist, it is one that will leave your sheets wet if it is set near your bed, and any surface it's placed upon should be protected. Also, it has a very large lid that is somewhat difficult to remove. This is significant because that's how you put more water in. It does have a filter, and it works quite well at removing minerals in the water so they are not sprayed into the air or your lungs. Overall, it functions like any other cool mist humidifier, although it has a slightly finer spray than most.
The ReliOn Cool Mist Humidifier is a brand that is only sold in Walmart stores, and although there are Walmart stores throughout the United States, many people may be turned off by buying what is essentially a store brand. But this worry is unfounded. The ReliOn Cool Mist Humidifier outperformed the Vicks humidifier on almost every feature. The top portion of the humidifier comes away from the base, and has a built-in handle to make it easy to carry. A circular part unscrews from the bottom, and this is where you put the water. It's very easy to fill and screw the top back on, as opposed to removing the top and carrying the entire base. The mist that comes from the humidifier is much finer, and even after leaving your hand in front of the water output area for one minute, your hand will not feel the least bit wet. Furthermore, the mist is fine enough that even after using the humidifier next to your bed the entire night, your sheets will remain dry. One major downside is that the furniture it sits on should have some sort of towel underneath it, because water comes out of the back of the machine fairly easily. It is mostly stopped by the filter, but if the machine is bumped, it will spill out the back. As I mentioned, the ReliOn does have a filter which removes any minerals or impurities from the water, but unlike the Vicks humidifier, it is not easily cleaned, and instead must be replaced.
I prefer the ReliOn Cool Mist Humidifier because of the fine mist it outputs. It is pleasant to go to bed with the air feeling less dry, but without getting water sprayed on my face all night. My husband was skeptical about the fineness of the spray, but he tried it one night and was impressed by how well it worked. There is not much difference in cost between the two humidifiers, and for the ease of use alone, any slight increase in price is certainly worth it. The price of additional filters is somewhat of a detraction from it, but not enough to make the other a better buy. If I had a family member that was searching for a new humidifier, I would recommend the ReliOn Cool Mist Humidifier over the Vicks humidifier.
