Editorial: MU's proposed required diversity course pilot is a promising development
Students have wanted this requirement as a means of promoting a campus-wide conversation on inclusivity for decades.
Editorials represent the majority opinion of The Maneater editorial board.
Oct. 20, 2015
For years, students have been urging our administrators to consider implementing a mandatory diversity education requirement. Now, after much resistance and gridlock, a pilot course of this request has finally being proposal. Needless to say, it's been a long time coming, MU.
We've needed this requirement as a means of promoting a campus-wide conversation on inclusivity for a long time, and because the details of the pilot are promising, we can confidently endorse it. This requirement could be a compelling proactive effort to combat ignorance and bigotry, a refreshing change of pace from the perpetual reactionary responses we've seen from our administration.
It's encouraging to see that the administration has been evolving on this issue. Earlier this year, Angela Speck, Chair of Faculty Council's Committee on Diversity Enhancement, said that a cultural competency requirement was not realistic, stating that "it's not going to happen."
Now, it seems that Speck has since changed her position on the feasibility of such a requirement. An update on the proposal was released Oct. 14 and includes a detailed outline of a pilot version of the course.
This update shows that our administration is finally taking the possibility of this requirement seriously. Administrators have had doubts regarding whether it's possible to implement and mass produce diversity education like this, and these doubts might prove to be valid. But we cannot know for certain until an attempt is made.
The goal of this course should be to engage students in reflection on the issues of institutional racism, classism and sexism that are ingrained in both MU's and our country's social structures. In short, the class should expose students to perspectives they've never considered.
In the pursuit of this goal, it can be easy to make mistakes. From reading the proposal, however, it looks as though Speck and the committee are right on the main premise regarding what this course needs to be.
The maximum class size of 30 is an essential aspect of this course. It's impossible to have productive discourse on these issues in a lecture hall packed with hundreds of students.
In addition to their plans to observe the results of the pilot, the committee has been studying a similar cultural competency course that is required for all students at Lincoln University in Jefferson City. Examining the class at Lincoln as a success story is a wise move, but it's important to keep in mind how different Lincoln is from MU. It's a far smaller school, with less than 3,000 students, and it is also a historically black college.
Similar cultural competency courses at MU, such as Cross-Cultural Journalism, have fallen flat because they are too large for successful discussions and rarely incorporate any campus current events regarding inclusiveness into class discussions. The pilot of this class cannot make this mistake. Discussion about these issues will not be productive if it does not incorporate current events, especially those on MU's campus. One of the greatest problems surrounding this issue is simply how uninformed some students are about instances of social injustice on MU's campus. Incorporating current events into the class would help dispel this ignorance.
In this class, there will be people who disagree, and that's OK. It's a part of the process. Discourse is a two-way street, and that means students will need to be prepared to encounter contrary views that might offend them. This class needs to ensure that students are informed so that they can fully understand the issues themselves through discussion, rather than simply having a professor tell them that there is a single right answer and that they'll be penalized if they don't agree.
At the end of the day, this class isn't an end-all solution. The pilot is a promising step toward accomplishing the much larger goal of combating cultural ignorance at MU, but it is not the final step. If the pilot program does end up failing, we hope that the committee stays true to its promise to "explore other possible avenues for implementing diversity training" made at the end of the update while trying out the pilot.
In the meantime, we need students, faculty and administrators to get behind this proposal. This is a pivotal moment for MU. In the aftermath of all that has happened this year, the MU community is, in this moment, clearly focused on bettering themselves. This momentum must be taken advantage of.

Make Ahead Tips
A day ahead, you can parcook the broccoli and combine the eggs with the parsley, the seasoned breadcrumbs with the Parmigiano, and the lemon juice with the zest. (Store everything separately in the fridge.) Then you can combine the topping ingredients, assemble the dish while the turkey roasts, and bake it while the turkey rests.

I make this on Thanksgiving ever since the issue can out, 5 years now! Great make ahead and assemble before dinner recipe. And, so tasty, everyone likes it.
This was a huge hit with everyone at my table! The flavors were excellent. I made one change, I did not cook my broccoli before putting it in the oven. This left it nice and crisp, it had the perfect bite to it when finished.
The breadcrumbs gave this dish a dry, crumbly, unpleasant texture. Th flavors were bland.

Just a day after Najib Razak made the announcement, Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein (left) stated that there will be no closure for MH370 passengers' families unless debris is found to confirm that the aircraft had gone down. He said there was no solid proof of MH370's whereabouts.
And he made the promise that "we will do whatever it takes to locate MH370". He did point out that French authorities had spent two years searching before finally locating the bulk of the wreckage (and the black box) of the ill-fated Air France flight 447 – which disappeared in June 2009 – in the vast Atlantic Ocean.
That may be so but it took search teams only five days before they found debris.
In MH370's case, nothing has been found yet. It is therefore important that we do not abandon the search.
The world may have gone weary with the waiting and therefore, I am seeing an outpouring of grief since Monday. And all of this was because of a simple statement that the Prime Minister made, i.e. "…flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean".
But if you have someone on board MH370, you would want to wait for a little while longer. At least until wreckage or some debris is found to confirm that MH370 did go down to the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
Last evening, I was at the Taman Indrahana Toastmasters meeting at the Cobra Club in Lorong Utara B in Petaling Jaya. I presented my CC#3 speech titled "Second Place" and Lim Thian Seng was my evaluator. This was Round 3 of Project 15. [I have so far already started on nine rounds of the CC manual but I have yet to kickstart another six to make it 15, which is my original goal for this calendar year].
Yesterday's speeches were generally good and so too were the evaluations. A good meeting overall and it deserves a score of an 8 over 10.

One of the books I read over Thanksgiving break was The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. My sister kept teasing me because I was crying. As I told her, I think the only book I cried more through was while reading The Notebook.
The Book Thief is narrated by death and centers on a little girl in Germany during World War II. Even without reading other reviews, I knew this was going to be an emotional book. While it was quite long, it was cleverly written and easy to read.
Many people have stated this was their favorite read of the year. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for a couple reasons. One, this was published as a young adult book, but the profanity was beyond ridiculous. I might not have minded one or two instances, but throughout the whole novel: I would not recommend it to a youth. And second, it was just a little bit too long. Several things could have been cut out. It seemed to drag in places, like the neverending story. I guess after having read The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom, it would be hard to measure up.
It was still a great and powerful story. But instead of recommending The Book Thief, I'd have to recommend The Hiding Place (even more powerful, being a true story).

"The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts."–Descartes
I have had several friends ask me what I am having my kids read this summer and what have been their favorite books in the last year.
We love to read. We wish we had more time to read. Homeschooling was supposed to do that for us. Summer was supposed to do that for us. However, we somehow manage to fill our lives to the brim with wonderful, amazing opportunities and the long afternoons of reading are sporadically sprinkled amist action packed summer afternoons. Luckily, books are like air to our kids (my husband attributes this malady to a lack of electronics) and they read in the car, while doing their jobs (trying to break them of that habit), during snacks, in between carpools and anytime they can sneak away.
Here is a sampling of some of books my older two have inhaled this year that they would recommend–(it is heavy on the World Wars and the Civil War because we studied that time period this year)
Older boys:
Captain Courageous-Kipling
Sackett Series, Last of the Breed, The Haunted Mesa- Louis L'Amour (Tay will read just about anything by Louis L'Amour)
Uncle Tom's Cabin-Stowe
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Series-Tolkein
Black Beauty-Sewell
The Extraordinary Cases of Sherlock Homes-Doyle
The Count of Monte Cristo-Dumas (Jake read the Puffins Classic abridged version)
The Endless Steppe-Hautzig
The Man Who Stopped Death -Raoul Wallenberg (just Taylor read this one)
Carry on, Mr Bowditch (this is Jake's absolute favorite- he reads it about every month)
Going Solo-Roald Dahl
The Red Badge of Courage (I disliked it as much as I had in middle school)
The Swiss Family Robsinon-Wyss
Escape to West Berlin-Dahlberg
Across Five Aprils-Hunt
The Story of My Life-Helen Keller (They also read Miss Spitfire about Anne Sullivan and really liked it)
The Yearling-Rawlings (Jake)
Do Hard Things-Harris
For The Temple
Part of the Work and the Glory Series
Elephant Run-Smith
A Farewell to Arms-Hemingway (Just Taylor-he told me it was depressing)
A Light in the Forest-Richter
All Quiet on the Western Front-Remarque (Again, just Tay)
Under a War-Torn Sky-Elliot
Don't You Know There's a War On?-Avi
Under the Blood-Red Sun-Salisbury
Three part series of Pearl Harbor starting with "A Boy at War"-Mazer (simple, but Jake loved them)
Revolution is Not a Dinner Party (One or two difficult scenes-preview if under 13)
Pride and Prejudice-Austen (Just Taylor)
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea-(Jake)
Robinson Crusoe -DeFoe
Alas Babylon-Frank
Summer Reading-
As far as summer reading goes I give each child a box filled with books I have picked out just for them (the library shelves are empty in the summer AND I like to steer them to try things they probably wouldn't during the school year) and work together with them for a fun reward they would like at the end of the summer if they "empty" their box.
Here are the books in their boxes:
Taylor-Taylor can choose which books he wants to read from his box (goal 8-10)
Count of Monte Cristo (Unabridged)
Education of a Wandering Man-Louis L'Amour
The Devil's Arithmetic-Yolen
Speak Like Churchill, Stand Like Lincoln-Humes
My Name is Asher Lev-Potok
New Ideas from Dead Economists-Buchholz
The Good Master-Seredy
The Deerslayer-Cooper
Hemingway-The Old Man and the Sea
The Yearling-Rawlings
And There Was Light-Lusseyran
The Longest Day-Ryan
Gone With the Wind-Mitchell
Jake insisted that his box needed to be filled twice this summer so round #1 contained-
The Prince and the Pauper-Twain
The Hound of Baskervilles-Doyle
Captain Courageous
The Adventures of Penrose the Cat (mathematical)
The Art of Keeping Cool
In Freedom's Cause-Henty
Eight Cousins-Alcott
Way to Be!-Hinckley
Blood Brothers-Baker
Three Cups of Tea-Mortenson
Sackett's Land-L'Amour
Drew- Drew has been my most reluctant reader so this summer his box is filled with books (some not so classic) that I think will help get him to read
The Spiderwick Chronicles
A Jigsaw Jones Mystery
A couple Childhood of Famous Americans (we love these)
A couple Amelia Bedelia
The Dragonling
Freckle Juice-Blume
Sarah, Plain and Tall-MacLachlan
Stone Fox-Gardiner
The Boxcar Children
An Encyclopedia Brown
A Bill Peet book and a few picture books
My desk is cluttered with a hodge podge of ancient history books as I try to decide which ancient books we are going to read next year–I need more quiet summer afternoons…..I'm sure they are coming. 🙂
Hopefully the list will help someone and will remind me of what they have read.
We also love books on tape/ CD/ iPod for long summer road trips. This summer we are re-listening to Mary Pope Osborne's "Tales of the Odyssey", as much as we can get through of Robert Fagles translation of "The Odyssey", The Story of the World (Year I-the Ancients), and several of the Percy Jackson series (I know not classics, but the kids insist that a refresher of these books will get them ready for their Greek studies next year).
Happy Reading!!

Aleasha and Garrett's Inn at the Market engagement session was the perfect recreation of their December proposal late last year in the same location. I always suggest that couples choose a location that means something to both of them and they could not have picked a better location.
We met on the roof top of Inn at the Market were Garrett had proposed 6 months earlier to Aleasha. Without even knowing it we started the session in the same spot Garrett proposed. Along the edge of the roof top looking out into the Puget Sound. With the evening sun starting to come down the light turn a gorgeous golden color
From the roof top we continued their engagement pictures to the streets below and inside Pike Place Market. An empty market at the time meant we had the whole place to ourselves. As we chased the light we ended below Pike Place Market along the Seattle waterfront. My go to Pier 62 and 63 was closed due to construction but quickly improvised and made good use of the boat dock next door. Like on a wedding day I'm always on my toes and engagement sessions are no different. Being able to visualize locations and photos is always key.
Once the sun went down behind the distant mountains we returned back to Inn at the Market's roof top. I did not know what photo I would create next but had a feeling I had something left in me that I needed to create on the Seattle roof top looking over the city. As soon as we got to the roof top I found it. Positioning them right inside of the hallway in front of the small circular window, framing them perfectly and creating my favorite photo of the shoot. Post Alley and Belltown in the distance combined the beautiful color in the sky I created what I hope is a photo that will take them back to memories created at Inn at the Market. Please enjoy these photos from Aleasha and Garrett's Inn at the Market engagement session.

Why on earth I was made to attend the Stanford summer school and take a course on Dutch history given in Dutch was beyond me. I felt happy to be back in familiar territory but was not very keen on struggling through difficult material in Dutch of all languages.

We've reviewed a few devices in the past that will charge your car battery as well as your phone. These products are very similar, but both very useful, so we'll take a look at why you might want this product in your stocking this Christmas. This review is of the JumpSmart Jump Starter Flashlight Power Bank.
JumpSmart Features
This flashlight casing is made of a very sturdy aluminum casing. There are four modes on the light which reaches 1100 Lumen that shines up to 150 meters. There are high beam, weak beam, strobe, and SOS Modes.
The jumper cables include 10 built-in safety features- including an alarm that will sound and safety indicator lights that warn if you are not properly connected. The Lithium battery is 10,000 mAh / 37000 mWh. A 5V / 2.4A USB Port utilizes SmartSpeed technology to charge your phone or other devices.
What you get With JumpSmart
Opening the box reveals a handsome, well-built case that houses the flashlight. Also included is some instructions, and charging cables with wall and car adapters to charge the JumpSmart.
What you Should Know About JumpSmart
Based on the research from this site, you shouldn't leave your portable jump starter in your vehicle- especially if it's extremely cold. The jump starter might not help you if your battery is completely dead, or has very low cold cranking amps. So it's a good idea to bring this in out of the cold, and make sure that it is charged frequently. This device can be recharged 1,000 times, and suggests that you recharge it every 3 months at least. You really want it to be ready to go.
Here's the video for the product
If you want to purchase a set to keep in your car, or maybe a Christmas gift for someone you love, you can get them for $119.99.

2016/2017 New Years Resolutions
This post reviews my 2016 resolutions and details my resolutions for 2017.
2016 Resolutions
I believe I had three main resolutions in 2016: keep in better touch with friends and family, release a new music album, and read 20 books. The first I did okay with, but I definitely could have done better. The second I regret not completing because now it will cost me $9.99 per cover song that I wish to release. Loudr is undergoing some rather unfavorable changes (for cover artists, at least). If I had submitted my album before December I wouldn't have had to pay anything for the licensing up front. The previous model took a percentage of your sales figures as royalties. I'm definitely rather upset with Loudr now; being a hobbyist arranger and poor grad student, I don't have the money to purchase mechanical licensing for each of the songs I want to release. For a 10 song album, that's $100 up front! My 8 song album released in May 2014 made around $250 since release. If I paid the mechanical license fees, I wouldn't see any profits for almost a year! Ridiculous! So I'm done with releasing music for money until I can find a better licensing company.
The third resolution, I will only make it about halfway. As of this post, I have read 10 books in 2016 which is half of my goal of 20 books. Still, 10 books is much, much better than previous years. I used my personal website to keep track of my reading which increased the fun I had reading this year. I love coding, and writing a web page in HTML/CSS is very similar. I came up with a nice way of calculating how many books I've read: using javascript to count the number of instances of the word "Grade" on the web page. Only the books I've finished have the word "Grade" in their section. Anyway, I consider this resolution to be "successful" because it has reignited my love of reading novels for pleasure. After re-reading the The Last Herald-Mage trilogy by Mercedes Lackey, I've been drawn back into the Valdemar series. I plan to read through all of the Valdemar books that I own again, and I'll add them to the book list. Then I'll go through and read the ones that I don't yet own (and haven't read). Another series that I'm planning on reading is the Word and Void series by Terry Brooks; I've read the first book Running with the Demon, but I haven't read the second or third books. Depending on how those books go, I may return to the Shannara series by Terry Brooks. I'll start with Armageddon's Children, The Elves of Cintra, and The Gypsy Morph because they transition from the Word and Void series into the Shannara series plus I haven't read them. As for the Shannara books, I think I've read most of them, but it's been a very long time. I'm also planning on reading the Mass Effect novels by Drew Karpyshyn which I've had for a couple years, but somehow haven't read yet. I'm also planning on re-reading the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman again; it's been about 8 years since I read those books. I'll also probably re-read the Eragon books at some point. The reason I re-read books is because I really like them or their series and want to enjoy reading them again, and because I wonder how my more adult perspective will affect the experience. Will I enjoy them even more? Will I enjoy them less? The same? Guess I'll have to read them and find out!
Now on to discussing the 2017 resolutions!
I feel like I'm ambitious with my resolutions this year because I have two primary resolutions and two secondary resolutions. The primary resolutions are (1) play my alto saxophone for at least 60 minutes per week and (2) spend at least 60 minutes of my free time per week writing up an ebook focused on MD modeling. The secondary resolutions are (1) spend 30 minutes per week attempting to learn how to play the piano and (2) read at least 100 pages per week.
I played the alto and baritone (bari) saxophones, switching back and forth, throughout my seven years of musical education; I played the alto sax in 6th grade and all of high school and the bari sax in 7th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grades. I marched the alto sax all four years of high school marching band and played it for concert band in 9th grade and wind symphony in 11th grade. I played the bari sax in concert band in 10th grade and wind symphony in 12th grade. I really enjoyed playing the saxophone and being in band all seven years. I considered myself to be pretty good, but not amazing. I enjoyed playing, but I wasn't ambitious in my playing. Not like my amazing sister who is fantastic at playing the french horn and loves music so much that in high school she drove an hour each way to participate in the Grand Rapids Youth Symphony, an organization for "Western Michigan's most talented young musicians to rehearse and perform together under demanding professional standards." And now she's going to school for music education and participates in a bunch of music-related activities. Much more musically ambitious than me. If Michigan Tech had a marching band instead of the pep band, I likely would have continued my playing. That wasn't the only factor, though. My coursework, other interests, making friends, broomball, etc. caused my sax playing to fall by the wayside during my time as an undergrad. Now I would like to start playing again.
So I'm going to try playing my alto sax for at least 60 minutes per week. It'll be hard going in the beginning because I'll have to review how to read sheets of music and the saxophone fingerings. But it'll get easier with practice. I'm hoping that getting back into playing will help with my music arranging. I also want to play for Leila, my fiancé, because she has never heard me play.
Being a poor Ph.D. student I've looked into additional income streams, but a lot of them don't work well. A bunch of survey type things that pay pennies per survey. Well, in my googling I found a web page (authored by a grad student) which said that an ebook written to solve a problem that is unique to your situation is the best way to make a second income. It takes a lot of work to write it, but once it's written and published, you're set.
I'm going to try working on this ebook for at least 60 minutes per week. The problem this ebook will solve is becoming familiar with MD modeling and running simulations. To avoid ethical/legal issues, all simulations, post-processing, and compiling will be done with my own hardware. All time put into this ebook will be my own free time and will not take time away from my research. All compilation, simulation, and post-processing scripts will be written from scratch. All models will be created from scratch and will be different models than the ones used in my research. The book will assume that the reader has little to no knowledge of MD modeling and LAMMPS. It will assume basic UNIX and Python skills, but will include links to learning resources just in case. This book is not meant to be a comprehensive resource for MD modeling or LAMMPS; it's meant to explain just enough to understand what's going on and how to interpret standard MD simulations. It will be an excellent primer on getting started with MD modeling and running simulations with LAMMPS. Perhaps some excerpts will become blog posts.
My first secondary resolution is to spend at least 30 minutes per week learning how to play the piano. I have an old MIDI keyboard that would be super helpful in my video game music arranging if only I knew how to play it. The goal of this resolution is to become good enough with the keyboard to enable me to compose music. It's quite painful clicking every single note into the piano roll of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). I feel like I could compose something halfway decent if only I could get it into the computer easily. The other secondary resolution is to read at least 100 pages per week. By my calculations, reading 100 pages per week should result in reading about 17 books in 2017. I assumed that the average novel contains 300 pages. Here's my math:
Between these four resolutions, my Ph.D., and my life at home with my lovely fiancé I should be quite busy!

By Audrey Horton
The Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (IPEC) has held that a patent was invalid but also considered a possible defence to infringement by equivalence.
A patentee should not be able to prevent a person from doing what they had lawfully been entitled to do before the patent was granted (the Merrell Dow principle) (Merrell Dow Pharmaceutical Inc v HN Norton & Co Ltd, www.practicallaw.com/9-100-0033).
Where an alleged infringement differs in only a non-novel or non-obvious way from the prior art at the priority date of the patent, the defendant has a good defence to infringement (Gillette defence) and it is not necessary also to challenge the validity of the patent (Gillette Safety Razor Co v Anglo-American Trading Co Ltd [1913] 30 RPC 465).
The scope of patent claims is determined in accordance with Article 69 of the European Patent Convention and the Protocol on the Interpretation of Article 69, which aim to provide a balance between fairness to the patentee and giving the public reasonable certainty as to what those claims cover.
In Improver v Remington, the High Court set out a three-step test for determining whether variation from the exact claim language falls within the scope of the claim (the Improver questions) ([1989] 5 WLUK 162).
In Actavis UK Ltd v Eli Lilly and Co, the Supreme Court considered the scope of protection of a patent claim when assessing infringement, and reformulated the law (the Improver questions) relating to infringement by immaterial variants ([2017] UKSC 48).
The owner, TN, of a patent for a component in a cable TV or broadband system sued TL for patent infringement by marketing equipment used to transmit cable TV or internet signals. TL counterclaimed to revoke the patent because of alleged lack of novelty and inventive step.
TN applied to amend the patent, and accepted that, if claim 1 was invalid over the cited prior art, none of the other claims were valid.
TL argued that, if its product fell within the scope of claim 1, it had a defence to infringement if the product lacked novelty or inventive step over the prior art.
The IPEC held that the patent was invalid. The TL product was found to fall outside the patent claims according to normal interpretation rules but within the claims under the doctrine of equivalents. The IPEC also made obiter comments on a possible defence to infringement by equivalence.
Before Actavis, the Merrell Dow principle was reconciled with the law on the construction and infringement of patent claims by the availability of the Gillette defence. It would be surprising if the Supreme Court in Actavis had intended to abandon the Merrell Dow principle without expressly saying so.
The issue raised in this case was the relationship between the scope of a claim and prior art which would invalidate the claim, taking into account both novelty and inventive step.
One way of reconciling the Merrell Dow principle with the doctrine of equivalents would be to say that if an accused product or process was an equivalent and for that reason was nominally within the scope of the claim, but the equivalent would have lacked novelty or inventive step over the prior art at the priority date, then it was deemed to fall outside the scope of the claim, so providing a defence to infringement. German law provided for such a defence (the Formstein defence), as did Dutch law. The US had a similar principle called ensnarement: the range of equivalents could not be so extended as to ensnare the prior art. It was possible that the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court might introduce a Formstein defence into English law, considering the interplay between the scope of a claim on the one hand and novelty and inventive step on the other.
To establish infringement, as explained in Actavis, a patentee had to show that the accused product or process either had all the integers of the claim on a normal construction or, taking all the equivalent features of the accused product or process in sum, that it satisfied the three revised Improver questions. A patentee did not always have to go through each integer of his claim and the corresponding features of the accused product or process, and wherever an integer of the claim was missing from the accused product or process, identify its equivalent. The Improver questions addressed the variant product or process as a whole. All integers of a claim missing from the variant would be relevant to, for instance, whether the inventive concept had been exploited by the variant in substantially the same way to achieve substantially the same result. No integer could be ignored. But since it was the variant as a whole that was considered, a patentee was not invariably required expressly to assert equivalence in relation to each integer of the claim, one by one. An accurate identification of the inventive concept might be enough to focus attention on the integers that mattered.
Characterising the inventive concept or core accurately was important to the scope of a claim. From a patentee's perspective, the simpler the inventive concept, the more likely it was that the concept had been exploited in substantially the same way to achieve substantially the same result. From an alleged infringer's point of view, the more detailed the inventive concept, the less likely it was that the concept had been so exploited.
The finding that the TL device fell within the scope of claim 1 under the doctrine of equivalents demonstrates how a Formstein defence, if it existed in UK law, would limit the scope of infringement by equivalence. The TL device fell within claim 1 partly because the inventive concept was relatively simple. Where, as here, the simplicity of the inventive concept or core tended to make the scope of the claim broader, this would also increase the likelihood that a Formstein defence would apply.
Although the IPEC's comments were obiter, the Formstein defence was fully pleaded and argued at trial. It was considered highly significant that the patent courts of other countries, which also have a doctrine of equivalents, at the same time assess the expanded claim scope from the validity standpoint and in appropriate cases allow a Formstein defence. The reasoned decision that TL was entitled to the defence may indicate the continued direction of travel of the courts in seeking to restrain the doctrine of equivalents. Whether the defence, which can provide a route for a party found to infringe by equivalents to escape liability, applies in UK law after Actavis is likely to be appealed to the Court of Appeal and ultimately to the Supreme Court.

My body was ready for the fabled pastel de nata. That Portuguese pastry, with which I have been harboring a hopeless helpless love for years, was the main reason I booked my tickets to Lisbon. I am well acquainted with this creamy, flaky custard tarts; back in the days in Hong Kong, the bf and I found every chance to indulge ourselves in this precious golden pastry, and I sometimes had to resort to those feeble tarts in Seoul to satisfy my sweet tooth. It was a religious moment when I brought myself to the most famous, oldest pastel de nata cafe in Belém, when I finally saw those real authentic beauties with my own eyes and carefully savored them as tears came out of my eyes and all those wasted years of eating the second-rated tarts flashed by with a tinge of shame and regret.
As much as I adored egg tarts, Lisbon's culinary scene turned out to spread farther and wider than those pastries. Lisbon has to be my food city in Europe, everything was so cheap and so good, so authentic and so hearty. For 5 days there my belly was filled to the seams with amazing seafood, sensational pastries and, well, let's throw in some alcohol to make everything jollier, shan't we?
For a country blessed with miles after miles of coastline, seafood has to be the first thing that comes to our mind. And yes, in Lisbon, there is no shortage of seafood. AT almost every restaurant I passed by, seafood was proudly featured on the first page; talk about crabs, shrimps, herrings, salmons, sardines etc. here. But were you to choose only one type of seafood to try in Lisbon, don't hesitate to dive right into the nation's favorite and obsession: bacalhau, aka salted cod fish.
There said to be 1000+ recipes for bacalhau, and believe it or not, the country celebrates Xmas with this dried fish from foreign seas (most bacalhau comes from Norway, Iceland and Newfound lands). Doesn't matter where bacalhau comes from, because it is here in Portugal that this fish is worshipped and perfected into a culinary symbol. Whenever you smell that horrendous(?) aroma of fish coming out of restaurants, or see those cool/strange chunks of fish hanging in front of a resto's windows, please remember, bacalhau is an icon, a celebrity, a superstar of Portugal.
On my first day in Lisbon, after a tiring walk around the Alfama neighborhood, I found myself drawn in a small restaurant near Lisbon Cathedral. Determined to try the cod, I waited inside the resto for half an hour before it was fully functioning, until I could finally order my seafood fix of shrimp soup and house's signature bacalhau. I paid in total 11 euro for them (2 for soup, 9 for fish), I think, and shameful as it sounded, I could not finish everything on my plate.
(yummy soup is yummy)
The hero of the day, bacalhau with boiled potatoes, greens and soaked in olive oil. The fish had a nice, firm texture, finely salted and I could taste a hint of smoke. It could be a tad dry, but that was why a pool of olive oil was there ;) Boiled potatoes, surprisingly, never tasted so good when accompanied with the cod and the olive oil. It was so good and so fulfilling that 1/ I had to leave some potatoes :( and 2/ I'm salivating thinking about them now.
To continue my fishy trail, the next day (and next…) I walked around the city and let myself charmed into those small, unpretentious restaurants for more culinary delights. Everything I tried was a common combination of fish + (boiled or baked) potatoes drenched in olive oil + greens (usually salad in balsamic sauce). I never had to pay more than 8-9 euro for them, and I was always left happy, satisfied, yet feeling healthy (it's fish AND olive oil, remember?)
And did I mention that soups are cheap and delish and can be a quick meal on their own?
Fancy a quick bite of ocean without having to settle down for a real meal? Bacalhau pastry is the answer to your dilemma. Ridiculously cheap (50 cent) for the quality. Each pastry, with the size of 2 adult fingers, were my staple for 5 days there. I could eat them again and again, continuously and incessantly.
Savory treats aside, here are some photos of pastel de Belém. Surely you can find pastel de nata everywhere in the country, but it is at the original pasteis café in the Belém district, next to the monastery where the dessert was invented by the nuns, can you find the best of the bunch. All my egg tarts I tasted elsewhere in Lisbon were 16271372628382837 times better than any of their version outside the country, but my oh my, Pasteis de Belém's stuffs were deliciously sensational. Nowehere can you find the same flavor and the perfect balance of puff pastry and custard filling; after all their secret recipe has been guarded since 1837. 10000 tarts are baked here everyday, and the line is long anytime you enter. For all good reasons.
More pastry photos elsewhere because I can:
If you are tired of fish and pastry, a pulled pork sandwich at Nova Pombalina might as well be the best choice. Don't underestimate the taste from its sheer rustic look. The bread was soft and nice, and the pork was aplenty and juicy, notice that I wrote juicy in italic (twice!). I'd say it's not a bargain, but a steal, when you only have to pay 3.8 euro for this incredible sammie.
And wash it all down with either a Portuguese espresso (bloody strong! but so so good) or a sangria, or both, like what I did :D
Isn't this the coolest sangria ever??

This week I was invited to partake of the fruits and vegetables that the 3rd graders brought in for their presentations in English class. Mrs. Brooks pairs a non-fiction researched presentation on a fruit or vegetable with a fiction piece based on a book called "Chocolate Fever", by Robert Kimmel Smith, in which the students write their own "fever" story using their fruit or vegetable. Today, the students practiced their presentation skills and were speaking to inform (as opposed to yesterday when they did magic shows and spoke to entertain!). Their posters were vivid – many colors matched the fruit or vegetable, and there were even carrot and strawberry shaped posters. The students worked on body positioning, eye contact, clarity of voice, and enthusiasm. They did wonderfully in all of those areas, but it was the overall level of enthusiasm that impressed me.
I am not sure I have ever seen so many eight-year-olds so enthusiastic about celery, broccoli, and bananas. Each student took immense pride in his or her work, and showed me the care and detail they had put into their posters. One student wore a celery green colored shirt and the bolded sentence on his poster was something along the lines of celery being an exciting, colorful, and delicious vegetable. Apparently he had never tried it before, and had discovered a love of it through this project. Another student's poster proclaimed, "I have asparagus fever!" and yet another, "Potatoes are cool". One girl not only presented information about bananas, but also found a photograph of the longest banana split on record. One boy discovered information he found fascinating – more grapefruits are grown in Florida than in the rest of the world combined. He proclaimed, "This is my most favorite fact. I actually went to do more research because I was sure it wasn't true, but it IS!" A very shy student eagerly pressed me to try the fresh-squeezed lemonade and explained how to make it. The rooms were completely abuzz with excitement, and I saw almost every student try almost every fruit and vegetable.
As an international school, the willingness of our students to try new flavors, and to look at how their fruit or vegetable fits in the world, and not just the US, does not surprise me, but each time I see examples of it, my heart is warmed by our global citizens. As a language immersion school, activities such as this are so important, as they further students' oral language development. Each student practiced using the language in a formal way, gaining confidence and ability. Even the students newer to English were carried along by their enthusiasm and spoke well in front of the whole class. Projects such as these also deepen our students' 21st century skills – organization, presentation, listening, research, marketing, and more skills are developed through such work. This is the type of work that students will remember. We all learned so much today- even I learned that the banana tree is technically an herb!

A Celebration of Life Service will take place on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 at 10 AM at Starks & Menchinger Chapel, 2650 Niles Rd., St. Joseph, with Major David Womack officiating.

Bill was born on March 25, 1945, in South Haven to Major H. & Fay (Pearl) Hyslop. He graduated from Benton Harbor High School in 1963. He continued his education at Western Michigan University where he earned his Bachelor's Degree in 1968 and a Master's Degree in Counseling in 1974.

He later relocated to Benton Harbor High School where he was the head of guidance counseling until his retirement after 39 years. Bill enjoyed listening to Sam Cooke, Andrew Lloyd Webber, 1960's Motown, bagpipe and marching band music. He had a passion for education and the arts always being an advocate for those programs. Bill loved cheering on the Detroit Lions and New York Yankees, and playing the cornet.

Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana (UG), Legon, Prof. Ebenezer Oduro Owusu, has cut sod for the construction of a 4,660-bed Commonwealth Hall Annex.
Estimated at US$42 million, the Old Vandals/KPMM project is expected to deliver a fully-furnished 4,660-bed facility, a 1,000-seater auditorium and a shopping mall.
The facility would be made up of a 302 single-bed block, a 552 double-bed block and a 3,806 four-bed block.
It would also have a 32 two-bedroom flat for lecturers and a sports centre.
Addressing guests and dignitaries at a brief ceremony on the forecourt of the hall in Legon, Prof. Oduro Owusu stated that the provision of housing for students has posed a great challenge to the university over the years, adding that the total housing stock at the university's traditional halls provides a total of 7,000-bed spaces, which is just about 25 per cent of the entire students population.
He said that while management had considered various approaches to improving the situation and with efforts by the Student Representative Council (SRC) to reduce the accommodation deficit, the project comes as an important step towards the expansion of students' accommodation on campus.
"Most importantly, it comes at a time that the Junior Common Room (JCR) of the Commonwealth Hall has petitioned the office of the President to address the accommodation crisis on campus. On this score, I am sure the junior members of Commonwealth Hall are happy to witness this event, and would accordingly revise their notes especially with respect to their expectations from management," he added.
President of the Old Vandals Association (OVA), Isaac Nketiah Sarpong, expressed his gratitude to the university's management and other stakeholders, hinting that the project would raise the status of the hall among its peers on campus.
"We are going to be moving from being the smallest among the traditional halls to being the biggest. More importantly, we are going to move away from being the super powers to being the ultra super power," he mentioned.
Work On Existing Hall
Mr. Sarpong recounted that early this year, the OVA launched an appeal to raise funds to refurbish all the lavatories in the main hall and also to expand its water supply system.
Work on this, he assured, would start in the first quarter of next year.
The sod turning ceremony was held on Wednesday, November 6 at the Commonwealth Hall in Legon, Accra.
In attendance were the 1st Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei-Owusu; Paramount Chief for New Juabeng Traditional Area, Daasebre Prof. Emeritus Oti Boateng; Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, veteran journalist Razak El Alawa, a number of other high-profile dignitaries, as well as old Vandals, lecturers and students of the university.

While the ruling Congress and the opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) would be the main contenders in the village council as well as local council polls, other parties like Mizoram People's Conference (MPC), Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP), People's Conference (a breakaway group of the MPC) and the BJP also fielded candidates.
The state election commission, which conducted the polls, announced that polling would begin from 7 AM on Thursday and counting of votes would begin after the polling is completed on the same day.

Cahuilla Creek Raceway was sunny and cool as the helicopter slowly warmed its engine. The blades whipped up sand and pushed out a wall of sound and reverberations that warned everyone to stay away. It was almost time for liftoff, which meant it was time to ride for Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha riders Aaron Plessinger and Justin Cooper and special guest star Ryan Villopoto, one of the all-time greats.
"This is actually my first time out here at this place, and it's pretty cool," Justin Cooper, a New Yorker, shouted over the whirl of sound and dust. "It's in the middle of nowhere and pretty far from everything, but I definitely like it. We're in the middle of nowhere, but it's beautiful out here."
The sprawling Cahuilla Creek facility was pretty much empty except for a throng of pickup trucks, box vans, heavy equipment, and that gray helicopter. Around them an assortment of people were readying cameras, drones, sound equipment, and microphones to shoot the three riders for a video being produced by Ash Hodges of Monster Energy. Plessinger and Cooper would be on the Yamaha YZ250Fs they'd been racing on the 2018 Monster Energy AMA Supercross circuit, while Villopoto chose to ride a YZ450F. The bikes sat in the middle of it all, getting some last-minute adjustments from the team mechanics, though Villopoto was working on his own bike.

I couldn't convince my hubby-to-be to wear a bow tie on our wedding day and two years on, it still haunts me as my main regret! He would have rocked it, just like these guys did.
Grooms sometimes feel a little left out when it comes to choosing the style and feel for their Big Day, they only have to choose a suit – wrong! We can tell you it's abundantly clear when a groom has put thought into his look with a suave pair of shoes, a dapper hair cut and of course, his neckwear. Bow ties are still rocking the wedding world, and showing no sign of disappearing just yet which is why today we're rounding up some of our favourite grooms looks and a few fab bow ties that are currently in stores!
Just in case you're wondering, my OH went with an open neck, he's always been the rebellious type!

Five Internet Trends you Must be Familiar with when you're Restarting your Career
- Ujwala
- in
- Back to Work
- |
- 13 Mar 2018
As someone who has been in the field of journalism and communication, I was never really into the "internet". An online profile was something I NEVER thought about until three years ago.
When I landed my first freelance gig in India after nearly 7 years of living abroad, I was beside myself with joy. I was excited to have an interview after ages.
"So, you know how to use Tumblr, I suppose", said my manager sounding confident AND assertive, as if to say that it would be silly if I didn't actually know it!
Tumblr? Images of a steel tumbler, which is a common household utensil in Indian homes, were running around in my head.
Note: Tumblr is a microblogging and social networking website founded by David Karp in 2007, and owned by Yahoo! since 2013. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog.
That's when I realized the importance of staying updated with the rapidly growing technology and advancements to existing systems, regardless of the field you're in.
From re-writing your CV to effectively portraying it online, and even cracking an interview, EVERYTHING requires a sound knowledge of the current internet trends.
Here are five useful Internet trends you MUST know when you're restarting your career:
1) Social media Apps
a) When I was introduced to the concept of a mobile app for Facebook, I thought it was a waste of time, because now we could "worry" more about what our friends and family are up to without having to physically be seated in front of a computer screen. But today, it is the most widely used social media platform for companies, organizations, and entrepreneurs to advertise their products and services and get a wider reach in no time!
So, yes, it's not JUST about posting selfies and groupies. It's a public forum that will put you in touch with small businesses, corporations, radio stations, online news media, and NGOs among others.
b) Twitter Although it came in much later, its slightly more professional nature makes it a perfect place to tune into for news updates, celebrity, style, and sports-related snippets.
c) LinkedIn plays an important role in helping you identify potential employers and relevant contacts and to build a network with people who share similar interests. A great place for job seekers, having a profile here with a summary of your experience and your personal skills is certainly a bonus.
d) Instagram is still seen as a quick and visually appealing news update, particularly from film stars, but is slowly being recognized as a creative means to express company views, successes and messages.
2) Blogs
What's a blog? A regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.
Indeed, a great way to showcase views and ideas to connect with the audience on a personal level. So, if you're an aspiring writer or just a woman who has gained immense experience during her career break, write a blog! It'll do you more good than you think it will.
Today, it's the most commonly used means to ideate, create, and advertise for a company or individual enterprise – regardless of its nature. From tech giants to fashion labels, from news and food websites to schools, health care centers and start-ups, a blog page seems almost mandatory.
3) Internet Jargon
If you're getting back to work after a 3-4 year gap, the first set of email correspondence will send you into a tizzy. I got a confirmation email from a company I had applied in to, but I was stumped by the amount of "jargon" (read unfamiliar words) that hit me in the face.
"PFA the offer letter FYC. Please respond ASAP. Please leave your FB and TWITTER handles at the bottom of the email"!
Right, PFA – Please Find Attached, FYC – For Your Confirmation. And handles? What in heaven's name is that!?
The ignorance hurt far worse than the inability to understand the usage of terms.
Of course, I didn't have a Twitter account, let alone being able to give them my "handles"!
Keep yourself in the know of internet lingo so you're not left in a state of depression even though you got yourself a job confirmation. And if you're anything like me, it will take a while before you adjust to this "fast and furious" pace of correspondence. But, it's all part of the game and we need to evolve!
4) News & Company Websites
It's safe to say that the print media, particularly the newspapers have now been relegated to being BFFs to our parents/ grandparents. We don't really care much about the newspapers except maybe a day after a cricket match or an election or the budget.
It's now all ONLINE so you don't have to move an inch to flip a page or perch yourself on the balcony with four pages of news spread out in front of you.
From economic affairs to political and entertainment news, sports, business, and fashion, every organization seems to have bought into the internet craze.
5) Google
Wait! I know what you're thinking. But, it's much more than a search engine and much more than just email.
A Gmail address is perhaps something you own for decades now.
But did you know you can edit and save documents, upload photos, and so much more? If you're using the latest version of Google Chrome, then the top left corner of your screen has a grid titled "APPS".
a) Google Drive- to store all your documents, spreadsheets, and photos, and share with a team.
b) Google Docs- to pen your thoughts, and send via email instantly. (That MS Word thing you learned ages ago can go out the window).
c) Google Forms- to create surveys, and questionnaires among other things, and send via email instantly.
d) The Webstore- that lets you download the most commonly used and efficient extensions of Chrome.
e) Google Hangouts -a popular download tool to make and receive video calls; comes in handy when you're working remotely and need to join in a meeting.
f) Google Slides- that makes it easy to create presentations and share with the team.
There are several more that will come your way as you power through your job search, but it's important not to be intimidated by these changes. Make the time to learn. Make the effort to acquire knowledge and implement it in your field of work.
It's the age of reinventing your professional stand. It's the age of self-validation-where your work speaks for you! So, it's not enough to merely "upload a resume and apply"!
With technology the backbone of several organizations, you must be equipped with the basic, working knowledge of some of these widely used and popular internet trends, regardless of the field you're in.
And here's the perfect way to start!

Toward New Designed Proteins Derived from Bovine Pancreatic Trypsin Inhibitor (BPTI): Covalent Cross-Linking of Two 'Core Modules' by Oxime-Forming Ligation
2001-08-31T00:00:00Z (GMT) by
A 25-residue disulfide-cross-linked peptide, termed 'oxidized core module' (OxCM), that includes essentially all of the secondary structural elements of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) most refractory to hydrogen exchange, was shown previously to favor nativelike β-sheet structure [Carulla, N., Woodward, C., and Barany, G. (2000) Synthesis and Characterization of a β-Hairpin Peptide That Represents a 'Core Module' of Bovine Pancreatic Trypsin Inhibitor (BPTI). Biochemistry 39, 7927−7937]. The present work prepares to explore the hypothesis that the energies of nativelike conformations, relative to other possible conformations, could be decreased further by covalent linkage of two OxCMs. Optimized syntheses of six ∼50-residue OxCM dimers are reported herein, featuring appropriate monomer modifications followed by oxime-forming ligation chemistry to create covalent cross-links at various positions and with differing lengths. Several side reactions were recognized through this work, and modified procedures to lessen or mitigate their occurrence were developed. Particularly noteworthy, guanidine or urea denaturants that were included as peptide-solubilizing components for some reaction mixtures were proven to form adducts with glyoxylyl moieties, thus affecting rates and outcomes. All six synthetic OxCM dimers were characterized by 1D 1H NMR; three of them showed considerable chemical shift dispersion suggestive of self-association and mutual stabilization between the monomer units.

first time went from tons of snow everywhere to slippery roads having cars go zigzag. stay at one place for two minutes and you're bound to see somebody slip. also try to run and you're screwed.
second time wasn't as much (didn't cover everywhere) but still decent and sticking.

Sorry this is so late. Today's post was supposed to be an interview for a friend, but that didn't happen. Maybe later this week.
On a high note, I got my editorial letter for Badlands today. I've been waiting for this on pins and needles. Over the last several weeks, I started compiling a list of things my editor might ask me to add/change. I laughed when I opened the email because almost everything she mentioned (one exception) was on my list.
Of course, so were a lot of other things. Fortunately, the ones she picked didn't make me cringe, at least not too badly. Some of them are more labor intensive than others, but I'm excited about the ways they'll improve the story. I ran through the easiest issues today, and really all that's left are the big ones. Sure, they are the most work, but they're also the ones that will have the most impact on the final product.
Overall, what I'm taking away from this letter is that it's fabulous when your editor shares your vision for the story, when they really get what you were going for and love it as much as you do.
Then again, check with me in about a week and make sure I'm not pulling out my hair by the roots. :)

|Trip Notes: I actually found this rock buried in the middle of Pauline Mine Road (Fig. 03) on a hike to Aztec Tank on 02/20/2014. The picture in (Fig. 01) is just short of where it was located. As you can see from (Fig. 02) it was nearly flush with the top of the road, and had already been split into two pieces. I poured a little water on it to clean it for this picture. Not knowing how big it was or how deep, I had nothing with me to dig it out. Planning to go back at a later date to retrieve it, I placed a cairn on the side of the road so I could locate it in the future. On 03/17/2014 I returned with a small pick and shovel and was please to find that it was still there. Fortunately it was only about five inches thick and came out relatively easy. Interestingly, I searched the entire area and was unable to find anything else with even a hint of fossilized matter. When I got it home I rinsed it off and sprayed a clear urethane finish on half of the specimen (Fig. 04) to help bring out the detail of the coral.
|Description: The picture in (Fig. 05) is a 'scanned' closeup of one of the specimen's. I have yet to have anyone look at it, however I did find some similar pictures on the Internet that identified it as Phylum: Cnidaria corel; Class: Anthozoa; Subclass: Zoantharia; Order: Rugosa; Rugose Coral; from an age know as Mississipian. If anyone has any better information, I would certainly appreciate hearing from you.

Produced by MandalMotors and flown by enforcers of the Hutt kajidics and other criminal cartels, the M12-L Kimogila fighter was dreaded by spacers across the Outer Rim for its ordnance capacity and the withering torrents of coordinated fire it could unleash. The M12-L Kimogila Expansion Pack brings this heavy fighter to life in X-Wing™ as a blunt instrument that trades maneuverability for raw destructive power. Its pre-painted miniature starfighter comes with four ship upgrades and ten upgrades, many of which reward you for catching your foes in the ship's new bullseye firing arc.

Once, while one of her Moran (nautch girl) was coming to this place, one of her shoes fell into the canal. She refused to dance until her demand to construct a bridge was accepted, which the Maharaja did. Since then, this place is known as Pul Kanjri.
Similarly, the state government would also spend huge amounts on relics of a bygone era in the border belt.
Serai Amanat Khan is famous for its ornamental gateway and glazed tile decorations. However, a beautiful "baoli" attached with a well has been ruined. It is situated in a small village, south-west of Amritsar. The serai had a beautiful gate constructed in the Mughal style of architecture. The tomb of Amanat Khan was surrounded by four minarets. The que near the tomb is decorated with Persian verses.
During the Mughal period, the Badshai Road passed from Attari to Goindwal, via Serais Amanat Khan, Nurdin, Naurangabad and Fatehabad, all of which are situated in Tarn Taran. The serais are alt of the same design and dimensions and have water tanks.

The Truth about Goats
With a partially clothed Winnie-the-Pooh being banned in Poland and Paddington Bear's new film containing 'mild sex references'; the nation has been forced to ask – Can we bar the bears that bare while bearing the bears that don't? While Sooty always showed some 'exposed wrist', are we now ready for the sight of ursidae nudity; or to put it another way – at a teddy bear's picnic should we be picky about no nicks making our teddy bare?
Local councillors in Tuszyn have removed Winnie from playgrounds due to his 'dubious sexuality', although they seemed to have no issue with him being named after doo doo. A spokeswoman for the Society for the Ethical Treatment of Bears by Bears admitted: 'This is not the first time these furry mammals have caused controversy. Who can forget the accusations against Gentle Ben during the 70s. To many other bears he was known as, less Gentle, more Gropey. Many assumed he was Dave Lee Travis – with slightly less hair.'
Quite how bad Paddington's film debut is, is still unclear but the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) warned against something that would '-give A Clockwork Orange a run for its money'. Movie executives have dismissed claims that there is a deleted scene, where Paddington smears his genitals with marmalade, shouting at Mr. Gruber to: '- taste my mixed peel, you grumpy bastard!' However they refused to confirm or deny that 'Darkest Peru' had been used as a euphemism.
The BBFC went onto explain that mild innuendo was one thing, but graphic bare bearness was totally uncalled for. The spokesman said: 'The moment Baloo flashed Mowgli, bears have been on a downward spiral. Rupert Bear had his legs tattooed yellow check, so he could expose himself without anyone knowing. And as for Yogi Bear and Boo Boo – one hat and two ties between them, the rest is all naked. And you really don't want to know what Bears do in the woods!'

The City's Love
Poem by Claude McKay
For one brief golden moment rare like wine,
The gracious city swept across the line;
Oblivious of the color of my skin,
Forgetting that I was an alien guest,
She bent to me, my hostile heart to win,
Caught me in passion to her pillowy breast;
The great, proud city, seized with a strange love,
Bowed down for one flame hour my pride to prove.

For one brief golden moment rare like wine,
The gracious city swept across the line;
Oblivious of the color of my skin,
Forgetting that I was an alien guest...
this is sad, people, sad that a person's skin color would be an issue, would skew one's perspective. i'm glad the poet had that golden moment. sad that others would be withheld or, worse, be frightening or brutal. and mad we're still having to deal with this prejudice in my own country but not limited, not nearly, to my own country. -gk(Report)Reply

Yesterday (It is still the 10'th in my timezone) was my 3rd OSM birthday. Pascal Neis has built http://osmbirthday.neis-one.org a site that shows you your OSM signup is anniversary and how you rank (in terms of signup time) with respect to other OSM contributors that have made an edits.
I am contributor 17,540 (out of about 143,000 and growing).
In the summer of 2008 I bought an Openmoko Freerunner, an open cellphone running Linux (with xterms and vi). The phone includes a GPS, I needed a source of map data for it to be useful. The first GPS application that I installed (tangogps) used OpenStreetMap tiles. The OpenStreetMap was missing many streets in Oakville and it wasn't long before I was taking summer walks with my Openmoko and notepad collecting data for OpenStreetMap.
A little over a month later on a friday night I drove to a cafe in Hamilton where I nervously climbed up a set of creeky old stairs. I walked into a dark room illuminated by an overhead project and laptop LCD backlight. The room was filled with a handful of people sitting around a table. Glancing at the people in the room I was pretty sure that I hadn't just walked into a meeting of the local chamber of commerce, which was fine since I was attending my first OpenStreetMap mapping party and not my first chamber of commerce meeting.
During the evening and the mapping party the next day I met some interesting people, learned some new mapping techniques and made it out to do some mapping. The trend of meeting cool people and learning new things (and not just about OSM), has continued for the past three years.
During the past three years in addition making friends and attending mapping parties I have
- Conducted an import of GeoBase roads in Alberta and Ontario. I am proud of and happy with both the process we used for the import and the results of it. The imported roads aren't perfect ( no map is ever perfect) but resulting map is a lot more than the map we had before
- Given presentations on OpenStreetMap at a number of conferences
- Seen looks of delight on peoples faces when I've handed them a free ledger sized colour map of there local area made with OpenStreetMap data
- Perhaps made a few enemies along the way
I'm looking forward to meeting more mappers next month in Denver at StateOfTheMap and many more years of mapping.
