The reversal of the Chicago River has long been touted as one the world's great engineering feats, chiefly because it kept the sewage-filled river from polluting Lake Michigan, the source of Chicago's drinking water. But it also had a dark side, as two thoughtful new books about the river's past and future make clear.
Changing the river's flow sent untreated waste down the Des Plaines, Illinois and Mississippi rivers, past farms, small towns and big cities like St. Louis. "What right has Chicago to pour its filth down into what was before a sweet and clean river, pollute its waters, and materially reduce the value of property on both sides of the river … and bring sickness and death to the citizens?" a resident of Morris, Ill., asked after the reversal was completed in 1900.
By digging a 28-mile canal between the Chicago and Des Plaines rivers, engineers broke down the natural barrier between the watersheds of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Yet they left an unintended legacy that haunts us today: The canal created a kind of highway that allowed invasive species like the Asian carp to swim up the Mississippi and, it is feared, into the Great Lakes.
Given the huge stakes — the carp could threaten the Great Lakes' ecosystem and their commercial and recreation fishing industry, which bring in an estimated $7 billion a year — the publication of these illuminating books is welcome. What happens to the river, the books make clear, is much more than a plumbing issue.
The books — "The Lost Panoramas: When Chicago Changed Its River and the Land Beyond," by Richard Cahan and Michael Williams (CityFiles Press, $45, hardcover, 160 pages), and "Reverse Effect: Renewing Chicago's Waterways," by Jeanne Gang (Studio Gang Architects, $30, paperback, 116 pages) — spring from different sources.
"The Lost Panoramas" grew from the discovery in the 1990s of nearly 22,000 glass-plate photographic negatives, a series of wide-angle, unobstructed views taken between 1894 and 1928 for the Sanitary District of Chicago, the canal's builder, to document the river's reversal and its impact on the region. The negatives had been packed in wooden boxes and, the authors write, "stored so well that they were nearly forgotten."
Gang's book arose from a plan unveiled last year by the Natural Resources Defense Council that called for damming Chicago's canals to stop the Asian carp. Gang, best known for her undulating Aqua tower and her recent MacArthur "genius" grant, asked students in a Harvard Graduate School of Design course she taught to propose how the barriers might spur redevelopment in the Chicago neighborhoods of Pilsen and Bridgeport, which flank the proposed barrier.
The great strength of "The Lost Panoramas" derives from the photographs from which the book takes its name and the lucid, muscular prose that puts those images in context. Many of the images, like one of a man in boots pointing to a high water mark on an icehouse, were taken to be used as evidence in court. Farmers sued the Sanitary District, claiming that the Illinois River, swollen by water from Lake Michigan and the Des Plaines River, had flooded their land, causing thousands of dollars in damages.
Yet even as the photographers were gathering evidence, the pastoral landscape of downstate Illinois cast its spell on them. The resulting images, which show beautifully on the book's glossy paper, conjure a long-lost world, exemplified by the primeval beauty of the lush riverbanks that would have greeted Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette as they paddled up the Illinois River in 1673.
In Chicago, meanwhile, the Sanitary District's photographers captured the cantankerous, booming city along the river. Stacks of lumber reached to the sky. The sewers of the Union Stockyards spewed animal blood and remains into the putrid stretch of the river known as Bubbly Creek. This was Chicago before the Burnham Plan civilized it.
The story the authors weave removes the reversal of the river from the aura of civic myth and delves richly into the political conflicts, human labor and gigantic machines that were required to build the canal. Far from being an exercise in nostalgia, it is a cautionary tale for the present: When performing heroic engineering feats, beware unanticipated consequences.
"Reverse Effect" takes up where "The Lost Panoramas" leaves off — in the present and its contentious debate over whether new barriers should restore the divide between the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Coast watersheds and prevent the Asian carp from invading Lake Michigan.
Gang's students effectively show how a barrier could also be a bridge between Pilsen and Bridgeport, and how this bridge might be surrounded by new recreational and cultural space along what is now a blighted industrial waterfront.
One student suggests making the barrier an iconic building defined by repeated Y-shaped perforations, echoing the Chicago symbol that represents the Chicago River's main, north and south branches. Another defines the barrier as a broad land bridge that would create new opportunities for real estate development and much-needed parkland in the area. Still another envisions turning the coal-fired Fisk power plant into a public space that would display the massive pumps that would be needed to regulate water levels on either side of the barrier.
Nearly all the proposals include trees and wetlands, not just for beautification, but to relieve the burden on Chicago's already overburdened stormwater management system. Gang proposes a 10-step plan of her own to re-reverse the river's flow. Evocative renderings promise a shift from an industrialized, "rusty-gray past" to a "blue-green" future of clean water and an ecology-minded landscape.
It's a wonderful dream; trouble is, it's awfully dreamy, as such academic studies are wont to be. There are no cost estimates for any of the plans. Nor do Gang and her students deal with the millions of tons of steel, petroleum and other cargo that pass through the canal. Critics have charged that placing physical barriers would restrict cargo vessels, increase costs, slow delivery and force many Chicago businesses to move elsewhere. Shifting cargo to trucks might also intensify Chicago's already bad traffic congestion and worsen air pollution.
While Gang deserves credit for taking on this big-picture issue, her research needs to dig deeper before it can be considered a credible proposal. Even so, "Reverse Effect," like "The Lost Panoramas," sheds valuable new light on one of the region's most significant resources and the myriad issues surrounding it.

New York tops holiday wish list for Brits
British holidaymakers are planning to head for more far away destinations this summer, with New York the most popular option, according to new research.
Data from travel search engine momondo.co.uk shows that long-haul destinations are most popular among Brits for their 2017 summer holidays, with New York on top of the list. But the relaxing breaks don't come without a price, as more than one in three Brits finds holiday planning stressful.
The data was based on a survey of 1,030 Brits and analysing flight searches for travels during the summer months. And in contrast to the notion of a relaxing summer break, many Brits are looking for a holiday to the city that never sleeps, according momondo spokesperson Neil James Cartwright.
"Across all the searches completed on our site, New York is by far the most popular summer holiday destinations among Brits this year, even though beach holidays are usually the most preferred holiday type," he said.
"Warm, sunny beach destinations are however not entirely disregarded by the Brits this summer, as the classic destinations of Bangkok, Orlando and Los Angeles can be found high up the list. Then there is Bali, which is this year's newcomer and fastest riser on the top list. Searches for the exotic Indonesian island have increased with 333 per cent, making Bali the third most popular destination this summer."
Top 5 most popular destinations for Brits
- New York
- Bangkok
- Bali
- Orlando
- Los Angeles
Highest trending destination
- Bali (+333% increase in searches)
Holiday planning stresses
According to momondo's international travel survey, the summer holiday is not a completely relaxing event for Brits, with 30 per cent finding holiday planning to be a stressful ordeal.
Cartwright said: "From our latest travel survey we understand that the majority of Brits book their holiday two-three months in advance, and that nearly half the Brits set aside money regularly to be able to afford their holidays. Last-minute planning therefore doesn't seem to be a trend among the Britons and hence it is surprising to reveal that nearly every third Brit finds holiday planning stressful."

Washington Post: "The $500,000 donation from Insys Therapeutics, based in Chandler, Ariz., amounts to more than one-third of all money raised by Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy, the group opposing legalization. It's one of the largest single contributions to any anti-legalization campaign ever, according to campaign finance records maintained by ballotpedia.com."
"Insys has developed a drug based on a synthetic version of marijuana's active ingredient, THC. Called Syndros, the drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in July for treatment of symptoms in AIDS and cancer patients. It is awaiting scheduling by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
"Insys also manufactures the deadly painkiller Subsys fentanyl. The company is facing state and federal investigations, as well as a shareholder lawsuit, over allegations that it improperly marketed the drug to doctors in an effort to boost sales.
"In February, a former sales rep for the company pleaded guilty to fraud charges stemming from a kickback scheme involving Subsys fentanyl purchases. Last month, two former employees pleaded not guilty after being arrested for participating in a similar fentanyl kickback scheme."

text: I'm actually fairly optimistic for 2007 (hey, it's only day 3). But the AP reports that we in the U.S. are not at all prepared for disaster, in what seems to be a quarterly republishing of the this very same article. I've come across a few emergency preparedness lists (this one via Steve) that suggest we pull together 'go-bags' and emergency kits. Great name and great idea, but i just don't see myself doing this, as much as i really do care about it. I'm probably not the only one, which may be why the Red Cross has made a business out of these stylish packages.The coolest emergency thing going is actually this DC Emergency Radio network that runs on the cheap push-to-talk walkies to create an instant community radio network as soon as everyone turns their radios on. It's very net-centric, as they say. Actually, marty already wrote about this it seems.The one thing I can take credit for actually doing is teaching my family (my parents) how to use text messaging on their cell phones so that I can let them know that I'm fine when all circuits are busy after the terrrists come to blow up the white house, only a few blocks away from work. (We're also taking Will Robinson's advice and getting an emergency radio for the office that pops on when there's an air attack or something bad. He's also in the strike zone.)Finally, Chris' very unfortunate new year's day mugging reminds me that since I haven't yet been held up or robbed while here in DC over the past 3 years, the moment statistically draws nigh when i will be permanently separated from my wallet. So I am going to take 5 minutes to make a list of everything in my wallet and the phone numbers printed on those things so that i can replace them quickly and keep rolling. But I'm not doing it right now, so the muggers will have to wait a few days.

F{ahh}ll11:34 PM
This weekend we embraced fall in all its orange glory.
Friday night Trevor did awesome on an exam (words on the screen BYU people!) and we went to Spaghetti Factory to celebrate. OH yum.
Saturday after an early morning of work, we met Kyle, Whitney, and Dexter at Thanksgiving Point for the corn maze! It was a blast. We LOVE living near Kyle and Whitney! Trevor and Garrett kept picking corn and throwing the kernels at each other, and Trevor was picking stalks of corn and holding them up high and running through the maze paving the way for the rest of us. That guy reminds me daily that I made the right choice. :)
|Our baby nephew Dexter- What a stud muffin!
|Watching pigs race
|Trevor didn't want to take a picture by these pumpkins because he said they were ugly (they were though).
|So he was being difficult.
|That's as good as it's gonna get.
So fun. More pictures to come when I steal them from Whitney.
In other news... I made bread today! I've tried two times now. Both times it kind of failed miserably. Last time I used all wheat flour (turns out that makes it as dense as a brick) and this time... I don't even know what happened. At least the edges were good.
Trevor: "Did you remember to put yeast in?"
He has so much faith in me.
We also went on a walk today and creeped outside Garrett's apartment window. We called him to come look at us outside dancing around in the library parking lot. Can you say winners?

Nimbus Gemini X marks the spot with 96 TB of all-flash capacity
Nimbus Gemini X series scales out to 96 TB of all-flash capacity in a single array, with clusters hitting 960 TB; startup aims at EMC XtremIO.
Nimbus Data today launched its Gemini X series of enterprise all-flash arrays that can store 96 TB of raw capacity in one box and scale to nearly 1 PB in a cluster.
The 96 TB Nimbus Gemini X96 is the largest capacity system built specifically for flash on the market. Nimbus has sold all-flash systems since 2010, and also sells modular Gemini F400 and F600 arrays. The F600 has a maximum capacity of 48 TB.
"We're having a lot of customer conversations around large all-flash deployments," Nimbus CEO Tom Isakovich said. "The market is maturing, and people are no longer just using flash for specific databases or VDI [virtual desktop infrastructure] needs. [The] conversation is becoming, 'We want to use flash for our entire Tier 1 environment.'"
The scale-out Nimbus Gemini X uses the same HALO operating system as the Gemini F series, but has a different architecture. While the F series arrays are single independent nodes, the X series consists of Flash Directors and Flash Nodes. Each X1000 Flash Director is a low-latency 320 Gbps Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) switch with up to 40 ports. The ports can be 16 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC), 10 or 40 Gigabit Ethernet, or 56 Gbps InfiniBand.
Directors manage storage across each cluster. A director supports 40 Gbps of sustained throughput, 4 million 4 KB IOPS, and sub-100 microseconds of latency, according to Nimbus. Each Gemini X system includes two directors for redundancy.
Gemini X96 and X48 Flash Nodes are 2u arrays that support 96 TB or 48 TB. The nodes have 24 slots. The X96 uses Nimbus' new 4 TB enterprise flash drives or its existing 2 TB drives. The X48 includes 2 TB drives. The nodes offload hardware-intensive operations such as inline deduplication, flash management, encryption and parity protection. The nodes connect to directors through RDMA. Nimbus uses 1x nanometer multi-level cell flash drives.
Customers can cluster up to 10 arrays for 960 TB of flash capacity in a single namespace in 24u of rack space. Each node adds 32 Gbps of bandwidth and 400,000 IOPS to the cluster. The system's parity-based data protection allows customers to lose a node in a cluster without losing data.
"This is true scale-out," Isakovich said. "It scales capacity with performance with centralized management, and full offload of data services to the storage nodes."
Nimbus Gemini F customers can upgrade to an X48 node by swapping controllers and connecting to Flash Directors.
Jim Bagley, senior analyst for SSG-NOW, said the Nimbus Gemini X moves the vendor to the top of the heap for capacity in an array developed specifically for flash.
"This is an impressive milestone for Nimbus, with that kind of capacity," Bagley said. "I don't know of any customers deploying 96 terabytes of flash yet, but they're going to want to eventually. With this system, they know they can grow into the system without doing a forklift upgrade."
Bagley said the all-flash market has changed over the past year with larger vendors adding products to compete with Nimbus and other startups who had early all-flash arrays.
"It's a much more diverse situation now that you have EMC, HP, Dell and IBM in it," he said, "plus the gang of startups."
Isakovich considers EMC XtremIO the main competition for Gemini X, because EMC is the largest storage vendor and XtremIO is the only other scale-out array built solely for flash. Isakovich said Nimbus' management features are ahead of XtremIO's because Nimbus has been selling all-flash arrays for more than three years, while XtremIO launched late in 2013. XtremIO is also SAN-only (FC and iSCSI), while Nimbus supports FC, iSCSI and NAS (NFS and SMB) protocols.
Isakovich said the Gemini X target customer will deploy more than 50 TB of flash, usually for virtual servers or desktops, large databases or data warehouse applications. He said the features customers look for depend on their use case. "For database customers, it's all about latency," he said. "They're not interested in anything that gets in the way of latency -- no dedupe, no compression, no encryption. For virtualization customers, latency is not the most important thing. They're going to run dedupe, compression, maybe encryption and still get fantastic performance. That's why you can run our system with any service on or off."
The Nimbus Gemini X will be available through an early access program beginning in April, with general availability (GA) scheduled for the summer. Isakovich said pricing will be set when the systems go GA.

Guiyang Weather
7-Day Guiyang Weather Forecast
Averages for Guiyang Weather
Guiyang Climate - Seasons & Travel Advice
Guiyang nestles in the southwest of China, on the eastern side of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It has a pleasant moist subtropical climate with plenty of sunlight and ample rainfall. It does not have intense heat in summer or severe cold in winter. Guiyang weather is fresh and humid without any sandstorm. The agreeable climate makes it a cozy city for living.
A yearly average temperature of Guiyang is about 15C (59F). July is the hottest month of the year with an average of 24C (75F) while January is the coldest one, averaging a temperature of 4.6C (40F). This place features four distinctive seasons, with winter to be the longest one.
Its genial year-around weather contributes a lot to its popularity among travelers. However, due to the changeful weather on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, it is recommended to take rain wear along with you whenever you go out. A folding umbrella is indispensable! Due to its topography, the things for anti-solar radiation should be fully prepared. Mornings and evenings can often be rather cool so a windproof coat is necessary.
If you are lucky enough to visit in March or April, you can experience a lot of traditional Miao festivals. From April 30 to May 7 there is the Baiyun National Kites Festival and from June to August is the Hongfeng Lake Tourism Festival, lasting nearly two months. The best seasons for visiting the Huangguoshu Waterfall near Guiyang are summer and autumn when the scenery is the most splendid. The good weather means that travelers can visit at any time of the year. However, the best weather there is in late August.

text: Using tenancy databases accurately and fairly Share Tweet Email The use of tenancy databases is a risk management tool for property agents/owners to screen the tenancy history of prospective tenants and to list defaulting tenants once the tenancy has ended and under certain conditions. Recording unfair, unjust or inaccurate listings of tenants can be avoided by following the rules set out in the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 (the Act) noting what, when and why people can be listed. Several sections of the Act, in relation to the use of tenancy databases, carry penalty provisions, where if contravention of the Act occurs, fines can be incurred. The RTA recommends all parties be aware of these provisions to protect themselves and the privacy of tenants. When screening prospective tenants during the application process using tenancy databases, property managers/owners must: Advise prospective tenants what database/s are used in the application process Advise tenants (in writing) if a listing of them has been found, and Advise how a listed tenant can obtain information about the listing. A tenant can be listed on a database if: The tenant was a named tenant on the tenancy agreement The agreement has ended and there is an approved reason for listing the tenant (see below) All reasonable steps have been taken to advise the tenant of the proposed listing (timeframes apply). A tenant can be listed on a database for the following reasons: Unpaid rent, where a breach notice has been issued and the unpaid rent is greater than the bond amount Owing money greater than the bond amount under a conciliation agreement or Tribunal order and the time to pay the money under the order has passed Owing money greater than the bond amount after abandonment of the property (and there is no current objection by the tenant) Objectionable behaviour (if a Tribunal order has been made for termination of the agreement) Repeated breaches (if a Tribunal order has been made for termination of the agreement). Note that specific criteria apply for listing a tenant for reasons mentioned above. Consult the Act and Regulations for further details. Important considerations about using tenancy databases to list tenants Tenants can challenge proposed listings and current listings if they are inaccurate, incomplete, ambiguous or out of date. If a debt has been paid by a defaulting tenant, the listing must be removed from the database. Listing a tenant cannot occur until a tenancy has legally ended and in most cases, when a Tribunal order is in place. A listing can only be kept on a database for 3 years. There are rules for both database operators and property managers/owners on management practices to avoid out-of-date and unlawful listings. Breaching laws relating to tenancy databases carry a penalty of between 20 and 40 units per offence ($130.55 per unit) for individuals. Corporations found guilty could face fines 5 times that amount. Privacy laws may also come into play when tenancy databases are used to record tenants' personal information. More information is available on the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner website. There are also additional protections for victims of domestic and family violence in relation to proposed listings, removal from tenancy databases and listings where breaches of the tenancy agreement have occurred because of an act of domestic or family violence has been perpetrated against them.

World War 2 and Axis occupation
The USA had entered WW2 in 1944, but it had no chance of winning.
When it surrendered in 1947, the Germans occupied the mainland, while Japan got the rest. The Jews only fared slightly worse than their European cousins, with them being used for slave labour alongside the black communities rather than outright extermination. The Germans were also surprisingly merciful, by helping the Americans rebuild and getting production back to prewar levels.
The Castro Rebellion
The USA finally broke the yoke in 1954, while the Nazis were preparing for war with Japan. Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, the Provost Marshall with an assortment of other rebels stormed Capitol Hill, citing the Declaration of Independence as a precedent for overthrow. The congress was all arrested for treason. The Castro administration then gave the cover of maintaining the axis pact. By that stage, the Nazi soldiers were already in Russia preparing for the coming war
When the war between Germany and Japan ended, the USA took advantage of the weakened Axis powers' predicament and annexed all of North and South America, as well as cutting off all tribute to Germany and coming public about their military plans.
World War 3
Main Article: World War 3
The USA decided the time was right on July 1959 and began a full-scale assault via the Chukotka Peninsula against the Japanese Empire. The new F-14 and F16 fighters were used to great effect, wreaking havoc on the shattered Japanese military, while the new Abrams tank made mincemeat out of the Japanese Nobunaga tanks.
Post WW3
The USA emerged victorious from the war, with the USA reconstructing the former Axis powers with the help of China and the New Soviet Union. A new conference in Bretton Woods helped found the World Bank and the IMF.
There are 144 States in the Union and it covers all of the Americas and the Philippines. The current US population is 1.4 billion and their economy is one of the strongest in the world (it is currently competing with the PCU and the New Soviet Union for economic power)

Graduate training in anthropology in governed by requirements set both by the Department and the University. However, the most critical mediating role in the implementation of these requirements and in the achievement of the goals of graduate training is the relationship of each student to their faculty advisors.
The Advisory Process
First year advisors are appointed at the beginning of the year in consultation with the interviewing committee. The second-year advisor is selected by the student and serves as the student's mentor until such time as the student selects a formal committee chair. Each advanced student is advised by a committee that consists minimally of three members, at least two of whom, including the chair, must be active, current faculty of the Department. It is the student's responsibility to seek out members for the committee and to secure their written consent. Committee Forms (obtainable in Haskell 119) and any correspondence regarding constitution of the advisory committee should be deposited with the Administrator for Student Affairs. If appropriate, additional committee members may serve as readers of proposals and theses.
The advisory committee chair (or first- or second-year advisor, or an agreed upon substitute) will advise you on your course registration, sign Plan of Study Forms, and keep a continuous record. Any changes in advisory committees (whether initiated by the student or by a faculty member) must be recorded by submission of additional Committee Forms available in Haskell 119. Changes of committee after admission to candidacy are generally undesirable, and will be permitted only under exceptional circumstances.
Advising Beyond the Second Year
Although the role of the advisory committee (or first- or second-year advisor) is central, a role may also be played by the Director of Graduate Studies, by other faculty, or by the Department Chair, who in addition to having final approval on various matters, is also directly available for consultation. Aside from the formal petitions and reviews variously specified in the Guidelines, issues may occasionally arise which students or advisors may wish to refer to the Committee on Graduate Affairs or the Chair. In any case where some special interpretation of Departmental or University guidelines may be required, it is a good idea to raise the matter in writing.
Grievances and Individual Support
Although we assume that most issues relating to your graduate education can and should be addressed through regular departmental channels, beginning normally with your advisor, we recognize the possibility that there may be certain kinds of problems, either of a personal or interpersonal nature, which can best be handled through some other means. If such problems or difficulties arise, you should feel free to speak with the Department Chair, members of your advisory committee, members of the Student-Faculty Liaison Committee, the Graduate Student Mentor, or anyone else in the departmental community in whom you have confidence. Outside the Department there are also both formal and informal channels through which to raise issues of this sort, including the Student Ombudsperson; the Office of the Dean of Students in the Social Science Division; and the University Equal Opportunity Programs, including Title IX and Sexual Misconduct; Discrimination and Discriminatory Harassment; and Accessibility programs.
Foreign Language
Prior to admission to doctoral candidacy (i.e. before you begin field research), all doctoral students must meet the Departmental requirement of demonstrating competence in a language in which there is a substantial and relevant scholarly literature. Although you are encouraged to satisfy this requirement at an early point in your work by passing an examination in one of the customarily specified languages (e.g., French, German, Spanish, Russian), your advisory committee may require additional language training, depending on your research interests. To satisfy the Departmental Language requirement, you must receive a "High Pass" P*/P+ on a university administered language exam. (A grade of "Pass"/"P" will not suffice.)
Formal Method
With similar concerns in mind, the advisory committees may in certain cases decide that a student's career requires a demonstrated competence in some formal research method.
Course Completion and Quality Grades
Your academic record, including course grades, are an important basis for recommendations written to prospective funding agencies and employers. While arrangements to take Ps ("passing") and Rs ("registered") are sometimes appropriate, a record filled with these grades is not a useful indicator of the quality of work. We therefore encourage (and in the first year require) students to take courses for quality grades (A or B).
More specifically, the program requires a total of 18 courses to be taken for quality grades prior to admission to candidacy: 9 in the first year (8 for grades of A or B and Intro to Chicago Anthropology which is taken for a P), and another 9 prior to the Proposal Hearing. Of the 18 courses, Intro to Chicago Anthropology and Proposal Prep are taken Pass/Fail. As a rule of thumb there should be no more than 2 more of the 18 courses taken for "P." The Reading Course used for the MA paper should receive a grade of A or B subsequent to completion of the paper.
The distribution of Quality Grades (for A or B) should be as follows:
- 8 courses in the first year
- MA Reading/Research course
- At least 5 more courses taken prior to admission to candidacy
This totals 14 courses taken for quality grades; 10 of those must be in Anthropology (ANTH)
For grades of "P":
- Intro to Chicago Anthropology
- Proposal Prep
- No more than two others of the 18
It is advisable that, with the exception of the MA Reading/Research course, most of the other 12+ courses taken for grades of A or B be regular, substantive courses, not Reading/Research courses. Basic courses in French, Spanish or German taken for purposes of preparing for the language examination may not be used to meet the 18-course requirement. Once the 18-course requirement is met, students still in Research Residence must continue to register for at least one course per quarter for a grade of P, A/B, or (least preferably) R.
Required Courses
The following are the only courses specifically required in the Anthropology doctoral program:
- Development of Social/Cultural Theory 1 & 2 (two-quarter double-course) (required of all students)
- Proposal Preparation (required of all students)
- Modes of Inquiry-1 and 2 ("1" required of Sociocultural/Linguistic anthropology students; "2" strongly recommended)
- Archaeological Theory & Method (double-course) (required of Archaeology students; part I required, parts 2 strongly recommended)
- Archaeological Data Sets or another approved statistics course (required of Archaeology students)
Prompt completion of course work is indispensable if the instructor and Department are to be able to adequately evaluate student performance. Students should be aware that fellowship decisions, both within and outside the University, take a student's ability to complete courses into account. The Office of the Dean of Students reserves the right to withhold stipend checks from students with excessive numbers of incomplete.
Specific regulations regarding incompletes:
- Incomplete grades are NOT permitted in required courses (Development of Social/Cultural Theory; Anthropological Methods; Archaeological Theory and Method; Statistics/Archaeological Data Sets; Proposal Preparation; and Archaeological Research Design)
- In all other anthropology courses, you have one-year maximum to complete incomplete course requirements. Students with overdue incompletes will not be allowed to register until the course requirements are completed. First year students should make every effort to clear all incompletes prior to registering for the second year.
Annual Progress Reports
Early in the spring quarter of each year, every student in the Department is asked to submit two academic progress reports. One is required by the Dean of Students; the other is intradepartmental and provides information for our Annual Review. In preparing these reports, you are encouraged to check that your departmental records are up to date.
Annual Review
Every year, late in the spring quarter, the faculty reviews the progress of each student in the Department. We take into account the results of all examinations, reports on hearings, coursework, writing projects (including Master's papers), and detailed faculty comment on all of these. It is in your interest to see that copies of papers and reprints of any publications are deposited in the departmental files. At the spring review, the faculty make recommendations concerning continuance in the program and University financial aid. A statement of the faculty evaluation is sent over the summer to each student in the program, with a copy placed in the departmental file. You are encouraged to discuss these with your advisor, or with the Department Chair, if there are issues that appear to need further clarification. Although the Department is required to make preliminary recommendations about continuation of fellowships early in the spring quarter, these recommendations are always contingent upon the outcome of the subsequent Annual Review.

This cinnamon-scented blueberry French toast casserole could also be called a breakfast bread pudding. Or, serve it with a scoop of ice cream or a vanilla sauce for a delicious dessert.
Use fresh blueberries in the recipe, or use frozen. If you do use frozen, don't thaw them first. The recipe makes its own syrup topping, but you might want to serve it with extra syrup.
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Bread and Egg Mixture:
- 5 cups cubed bread, such as a brioche or French or Italian bread
- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 7 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons sugar, or less, as desired*
- For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Steps to Make It
Butter a 2 1/2-quart or 3-quart shallow baking dish.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar, the butter, maple syrup or corn syrup, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil for about 2 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved melted. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread to cover the bottom.
Sprinkle about half of the bread cubes over the syrup layer, then sprinkle the blueberries over that layer. Top with the remaining bread.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla, and granulated sugar until well blended. Pour over the bread and blueberries. Press gently so all of the bread is coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, combine the 1/4 cup of brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Heat the oven to 350° F.
Remove the French toast mixture from the refrigerator and uncover. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon topping mixture.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the custard has set. A knife should come out clean when inserted into the custard.
Cut the bread pudding into squares to serve. Serve with extra maple syrup for a breakfast or brunch dish, or serve with a vanilla sauce and a scoop of ice cream for a dessert.
- If you're using a rather sweet bread, you might want a bit less sugar in the egg mixture.

While dart frogs are carnivorous as adults, feeding on insects, as tadpoles they are omnivorous! Tadpoles eat anything from algae to insect larvae and even other tadpoles. Poison frogs are commonly referred to as dart frogs because indigenous peoples rubbed the tips of their arrows and darts on the backs of frogs prior to hunting. The normal life span for these animals in zoos and aquariums is about 10-15 years. Here at the Aquarium, we've had frogs live to be at least 23 years old! While dart frogs are poisonous to predators who ingest them, researchers are investigating possible medical uses for the toxin. Doctors hope to learn more about the proteins in the frog's secretions and the benefits said proteins could provide for pain management and other applications. Can't get enough of dart frogs?

Steve Jobs changed the face of Apple and retail forever on May 15, 2001On this day in 2001, Steve Jobs unveiled the Apple Store, changing not only how customers would buy Apple hardware and get service for purchases, but also alter brick-and-mortar retail forever.
"This is our store," Steve Jobs said, as he introduced the Apple Store for the first time, on May 15, 2001. The Apple Store, Apple's first foray into its own retail stores, opened its first two locations four days later, in Glendale, Calif. and then in Tysons Corner, Va. One AppleInsider staffer was present for the opening of the latter store.
In the years since, the Apple Store has grown to more than 500 stores in over 20 countries. It has surged in growth during a very difficult time for the retail sector as a whole, including in the consumer electronics space.
Steve Jobs unveiling the Apple Store at Tysons Corner Mall in Virginia
While helping to drive Apple's own growth and playing a key role in the launches of iPod, iPhone, iPad and more, the Apple Store also forever changed the look of computer and electronics retail. And that look has been widely imitated, from Microsoft launching a chain of lookalike stores to Sony attempting the same to actual knockoff Apple Stores in China.
Before the Apple Store
Throughout the 1990s, Apple computers were sold in a combination of chain stores and authorized Apple retailers. Support for customers from the big-box stores was iffy, and related to how often Apple representatives and then later contractors visited, to keep the staff in line.
Starting in 1997, Apple migrated to a "store within a store" concept that it agreed to with CompUSA, shortly after Jobs' return to the company.
At the same time, Apple pulled its products out of most non-CompUSA big box retailers, at a time when Dell was Apple's main competitor and Apple was preparing to launch the original iMac. Apple also revamped its online store.
Jobs decided to open Apple-branded retail stores, and hired executive Ron Johnson, formerly of Target, to run them in early 2000.
The first stores
On May 15, 2001, Apple announced that it would open 25 retail stores that year, including its first two that Saturday.
The first stores, as introduced by Jobs in an introductory video and opening on the 19th, featured such products in the front section as iMacs and iBooks, as well as the then-new PowerBook G4 Titanium and Power Macs. The iPod, however, would not be released for another five months.
Children using the Flower Power iMacs at Tyson's Corner, the day it opened
Also featured in the store were music, movies, photos and a kids section, as well as non-Apple digital cameras and camcorders. There was also a great deal of boxed software.
Another initial selling point was the original incarnation of the Genius Bar, which featured pictures of Albert Einstein and other famous geniuses who had been included in Apple's "Think Different" ads of the time. Jobs positioned the in-store "geniuses" as able to answer customers' questions —and if they couldn't, there was a landline to someone in Cupertino who could.
More than 500 fans lined up at the Tysons store starting at pre-dawn that first day. Over the weekend, Tysons and Glendale hosted more than 7500 visitors, and sold a combined $599,000 in products over the first two days.
The corporate store approach had been tried before. Dell and Gateway both tiptoed into retail before Apple got to it —but both of their efforts faded quickly.
Early and sustained success
The stores succeeded out of the gate, despite a great deal of industry skepticism. Apple announced that 7,700 customers had visited the first two stores during their first two days in business, purchasing $599,000 worth of merchandise.
The Apple Store's success never really abated. Its first urban flagship, on Chicago's Magnificent Mile, opened in 2003, with the first international Apple Store arriving in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan, later that year. Five years to the day after the first two stores, in 2006, Apple opened its iconic "cube" location on Fifth Avenue in New York.
While the number of Apple Stores worldwide crossed 500 with its first location in Korea, which opened in 2018, the originals haven't been forgotten. The store Apple designated number one in Glendale, remains a popular site for fan pilgrimages. But store number two —Tyson's —was still the first to open.

The absolute absorption spectra of low-loss optical waveguides, together with their intrinsic and extrinsic scatterings, were measured in the near infrared. Photothermal deflection spectroscopy was used to measure the full absorption spectra of a series of fluorinated cross-linked polymers. Assignment of and —OH overtones as well as of combinations of overtones were made by use of the theory of anharmonic vibrations based on a Morse potential for local modes. Details of the molecular potential are given. The total attenuation in slab waveguides made with these polymers was measured by a prism-coupling technique and compared with the absolute absorption. Losses that are due to the material itself and those that are due to the processing are quantified.

Sponsored by Citrix: Brian Madden learns about virtual networking and why it matters for VDI
Brian Madden is the typical desktop virtualization architect. He knows the ins-and-outs of VDI, RDSH, virtual servers, user profiles, application delivery, and printing. But when it comes to networking, he (like many of us), tends to think of that as "someone else's job." He's quick to say that he's not a "networking guy." While there's nothing fundamentally wrong with that, the world of networking has been changing just as fast as the world of servers and desktops. After all, we now have virtual switches and virtual networks just like virtual servers and virtual desktops.
This is something Brian has been thinking about a lot over the past few years. If we have a server full of desktop VMs and we move a VM from one server to another, what does that mean for the network? Do we have to make sure the new server is plugged into the same switch as the old server?
Doesn't that negate the whole point of separating a VM from its hardware?
And what about this virtual switch thing? Should we even put policies on physical switches anymore?
To answer those questions, Brian drove from his home in San Francisco down to Citrix's office in Santa Clara to meet with Steve Shah, Citrix's Senior Director for NetScaler, to understand just how this "virtual networking thing" works and how it applies to virtual desktops. If you've had your head buried in desktop-land for the past few years (as Brian has), check out this ten-minute video to get up to speed with what's happening in the virtual networking space.

How long does it take for the designer to deliver my gown?
Shipping dates varies from manufacturers and are approximate. Special delivery on most wedding gowns takes between 4-5 months. Until your gown is ordered, We can only estimate its ship date from the manufacturer. For an approximate arrival date, you may call 1-2 weeks after the order is placed. The approximate arrival date is the date. We expect the gown to be at the store and ready for pick up. This date is based upon the store's knowledge of the designer, time in transit from the designer, and assuming the manufacturer is not running early or late.
What happens if my item is not delivered from the manufacturer?
Diane's Bridal Boutique is not liable for any delay or non-delivery of any item resulting from conditions beyond their control. If we feel that a manufacturer's delay is going to result in non-delivery, Diane's will, with your input, secure an alternative garment.
What happens once my dress is received?
You must come in and inspect the gown within 7 days of being notified of its arrival to the shop. Diane's Bridal Boutique cannot be liable for manufacturer's errors on any gown that has not been inspected within 7 days. Upon pick-up of the gown, it will be in the condition in which we received it from the manufacturer and covered in a signature Diane's Bridal bag.
Can you ship my dress to me?
We highly recommend you come into try on and inspect your dress once we notify you of delivery. However, if you elect to have your dress shipped to you, the dress becomes delivered as-is. We can try to work with you on some dress issues after receipt but it will be at our discretion.. Shipping Fee applies.
What is your returns policy?
There are no refunds, exchanges, or cancellations once you choose the style and place the deposit for the order. In most cases, but not all, changes to the order can only be made in the first 24 hours after placing the order and that this is dependent on the manufacturer and their policies.

How can I track my order?
After your order ships, you should receive a shipment notification email. This email will contain a USPS tracking number which can be used at the USPS website to track your order. If you do not receive this email after 2 days, please email us and we will send you a tracking number.
How long will my shipment take?
Anything in stock will ship within 48 hours, but our "shipping rogue" (as he likes to be called) tends to ship everything out in less than 24. We only use USPS Priority Mail which typically takes 2-3 days for shipping to the U.S. International shipments may take up to 10 days
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We now ship to several countries. We've gone global. We selected United States Postal Service Priority Mail International as our only option for international shipping. You should receive your order in about 6 to 10 days. Please note that you will be responsible for any fees, taxes, duties, etc. that may be charged when your order arrives. These additional charges are unfortunately out of our control and we're unable to estimate them for you.
Will I have to pay customs fees on my order?
The shipping charges you pay Cloak Bags do not include any duties, taxes, or other fees that may or may not be required when the product reaches you. If you choose not to pay any import taxes, fees, etc. your order will not be refunded. If you refuse to accept the order, it will most likely be sent back to us and we will be forced to pay the fees so you will not receive a refund from us. Please check with your local customs office for information about duties, taxes, or other fees before placing an order. Since we are a retail store, we can not mark your order as 'GIFT' to avoid paying customs fees.
If you do not receive your order in a reasonable amount of time, please check with your local customs office first. It is possible that your shipment may be held in customs for processing or awaiting payment of fees. Please be very familiar with your country's customs procedures before you place an order!
Why isn't my country an option?
Due to various reasons, we have decided only to ship to select countries at this time. If you don't see your country listed, and that makes you very sad, email us and we'll see if we can help.
Will the bag's magnets affect my camera or memory card?
We've rubbed the magnets all over our memory cards, credit cards and birthday cards, and were unable to erase or damage any of them. The magnets are too weak to affect your camera, plus the solid state memory cards in most cameras are immune to the effects of magnetism. As for hard-drive-based memory cards, the magnets are still much too small and too weak to affect them. For further information on the safety of mixing magnets and cameras, we recommend checking out the following pages: Busting the Biggest PC Myths, Treck-Tech MagMount System FAQ.
I've got a [insert camera model]. Will the bag fit it?
The Cloak™ Bag was designed to fit most SLR cameras. The largest camera we used it with was the Canon 5D Mark II. The smallest camera we tested with was the Sony SLT-A35. The top selling digital SLR cameras all have sizes which fall between those two models and should fit comfortably. Tested models include the following: Canon Rebel T3i, Rebel T3, Rebel T2i, Rebel T1i, Rebel XS, 60D, 7D, 5D Mark II; Nikon D7000, D5100, D5000, D3100, D3000, D700, D300s, D90, D40, D3S; Sony A580, A390, A77, A66, A55, SLT-A77, SLT-A55V, SLT-A35, SLT-A33; Pentax K-5, K-R; and Olympus E-500; E-5.
If you are still unsure if your camera is compatible, use the following max dimensions and compare it to those of your camera: Height: 12 cm, Width: 19 cm, Length: 20.5 cm
Does the Cloak™ Bag work with smaller point-and-shoot cameras?
Not very well. The Cloak™ Bag was designed primarily for SLR (single lens reflex) type cameras.
What size mounting screw does the Cloak™ Bag come with?
1/4 inch - 20 threads per inch. It is the standard size that fits the tripod mounting hole on most digital cameras.
What is the maximum length of the included strap?
The maximum length of the strap is approximately 59 inches (150 cm)
Is the bag waterproof?
No. The outside material is water resistant only. The flip top inherently keeps the bag from being completely waterproof, so we opted for a fabric that was instead water resistant.
Does the bag have any padding?
Not really. The Cloak™ Bag offers some protection from bumps, scratches, and dirt, but not drops or hard hits. We decided against additional padding in order to keep the bag collapsible and its length adjustable.
Where can I store an extra memory card or battery?
There is a small pocket on the front of the bag. It's big enough to hold a small wallet, keys, batteries, or memory cards.
Do I have to open the bottom flap and adjust the length of the bag every time I want to take a photo?
No way! We nearly always carry our Cloak™ Bags with the bottom open and the length adjusted in advance, so that when we see something to shoot, all we need to do is flip the top flap open and compose our shot.

Why You Should Pick Continuing Education
Are you an older adult? Do you have a thirst for learning that cannot be satisfied by books alone? You may wish to see what a continuing education school can offer. A continuing education school can get you together with adults, just like you, who wish to learn. A continuing education school can also open a world of enrichment, including a second masters and a PhD program.
Why do we need continuing education schools? We need schools for continuing education because, frankly, traditional college classrooms will not do. Most traditional college classrooms have undergraduates, many of whom just completed high school. This is great for them, and truly does affect their learning. Nevertheless, younger college students do not have the life experience you have, especially ifi they have never had a career. Younger students may also have a difference in maturity level.
Adult schools for continuing education put you in a class with your peers. Career minded professionals, homemakers, retirees and others can access continuing education schools for their own needs. Maybe they want to take a course in Dostoevsky or Chekov, or learn about the evolution of Taoism over time. Maybe they want to take Tai Chi courses. Whatever their needs, continuing education schools are a great fiit.
Perhaps the best benefit of continuing education schools is that they are gateways to later programs. Many such schools lead to terminal masters degrees. A few even lead to PhDs. Whatever course these courses lead to, you are able to have excellent interactions with a professor.
There are many reasons to go to continuing education schools. Some go to get a GED. Others go for a second masters degree. Still others go for the sake of personal enrichment. This latter class is a joy among continuing education schools, and can help mold you into a better person.
Selecting the Right Daycare for Your Child
Deciding on a preschool, childcare or daycare facility can be one of the most important (and subsequently stressful) choices in life. The formative years of your childs life are so integral to their development (by age three, children have about 1,000 trillion connections between their brain cells!) that deciding on the right preschool can be integral to their development. The trend in deciding on the best preschool or daycare, however, is relatively new in the scheme of things. The first government recognized daycare was in 1840 France, and in America (and in alignment with the welfare and reform movements of the 19th Century), the concept of child daycare and preschool began when working class families had to send the mothers to work. Realizing the growing need for adequate preschool facilities (especially as women took the helm of supporting their families as the men went off to war), the U.S. Federal Government sponsored daycare for 400,000 preschool children during World War II. In the middle of the 20th century, most working class families were able to subsist on one income (typically that of the father), but in more modern terms, more and more families require two incomes to sustain their standard of living. In fact, today, there are approximately 16,520 licensed childcare centers and 150,159 home daycare providers in the U.S. When selecting the right child care or day care provider, there are few guidelines you should follow.
Approximately 7,000 centers nationwide have been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. This is regarded as the highest standard, so if possible, begin your day care or preschool search with one of these centers. The next step in selecting a daycare or preschool is to remember that word of mouth and reputation is key. There are very few sources better than first hand experiences. Additionally, what are the credentials of the daycare staff? Is the staff licensed childcare and educational professionals? Are they CPR certified? Will their curriculum align with age appropriate activities? In addition, take a close look at the daycare or preschool facility. Is it clean and safe? Do the children look happy? Enlisting daycare services is one of the most important decisions you will ever make, so be sure to ask yourself these guiding questions before making your selection.
Daycare is not inexpensive, nor should it be. According to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), daycare in the United States costs an average of $11,666 per year, or $972 a month. Keep in mind that this figure can be much higher in major metropolitan areas like San Francisco or New York. In addition to cost being dependent on where you live, your childs age and how many hours a week your child will be at the daycare facility determines the price, too.

Acocountant training can lead to a good job
With all the possible fields on can get college post educational training in, it can sometimes seem like a daunting task picking the right area to train to work in. The old days of chasing after ones intellectual dreams seem to have fallen way to a fluctuating economy and the need to have a steady paycheck that will not dry up after ten months. But there are some areas where there will always be a need for qualified, capable employees, and one of those is accounting. Getting accountant training can prepare you for the detailed work of crunching numbers for clients big and small. What an accountant actually does is to assure the financial information of a person or business is accurate and up to date. Then this information can be used by the finance managers, investors, and tax authorities to make decisions about available resources.
Accountant training involves learning a number of computer programs, and lingo that is used throughout the industry. Account training students will have to learn excel among other record keeping programs, tax programs, and the associated terminology that goes with them. Accounting does tend to have its own language at times, and not knowing all the key phrases will slow down an employee and cost valuable man hours. Accountant training is definitely tedious and detail oriented, but the benefit is a steady, reliable, well paying job.
Accounting training courses are available from numerous institutions throughout the world. Accountant training can be done on location or online. The best course of action for figuring out which sort of accountant training is right for you is to go online and search for accountant training in your area. There will be a number of institutions to choose from with programs that can be completed from home, at the institution, and sometimes with a mixture of the two. Compare institutions for price, quality of staff, and teaching style. Find the one that is most commensurate with your personal needs and apply. Do not worry about needing to have previous degrees or anything like that, these courses can be completed by people with high school educations as long as their aptitude is high enough.
The Single Biggest Trend In Education Today
Education should never stop once a person graduates from high school or college. No, we should always be learning, whether we are learning in a classroom, online or attending a workshop. Fortunately, continuing education has never been more popular or more available than it is today. And luckily for those of us who work full time jobs and have young children at home to raise, more schools for continuing education than ever are moving toward the web, where they have strong curricula that help position us for better positions and exciting new careers.
Today's continuing education schools do have physical locations and classroom environments as well for the people who still want to sit and see a teacher in front of them, do classwork there and group work with classmates, and get out of work early to attend these classes. However, as the web is being used more and more for educational purposes more schools are making their programs available online. This is the best news possible for us graduates who still wish to learn more but who simply lack the time to drive to a classroom and take up several hours a week of our time.
Today, a continuing education school looks more virtual than ever, with online classrooms and instructors devoted to educating subjects and students on virtually every subject imaginable. Coursework is no joke here, as these instructors still assign homework and still have tests, only the students are virtual rather than physically there. This is music to the ears of the people who have no time to attend classes and who would much prefer taking these classes online to earn the same kinds of degrees as those attending classroom based courses. The beauty part of these online classes is that many can be taken when people have time, so they never or rarely have to rearrange their schedules to accommodate classwork. They can instead do it on their own time.
Even traditional schools with main campuses and significantly sized undergraduate and graduate degree programs are realizing the beauty of online education. These institutions therefore are adding their own continuing education programs to both capitalize on this growing trend and to spread their knowledge to more people, including those who have long graduated from college or high school. These traditional schools are a bit behind online universities, but their programs are growing in numbers and in stature, making them even more accessible to more people.
How to Select a Day Care Program
Nothing is more important than the future of your children, so selecting a school for them can seem a bit daunting. If you are in the Norwalk CT area and are considering choosing a preschool Norwalk CT has a ton of great options to choose from. However, there are a few things to think about before making your decision.
First, define your ideal school. We all have criteria that we are looking for in a daycare Norwalk CT has to offer. Whether it is the classes offered, after school care, special education resources, or quality educators, narrow down what is important to you in day care norwalk ct programs, or private preschool Norwalk CT programs first, and go from there.
Be sure to ask the right questions. Ask what the daycare Norwalk CT programs' expectations are for students, and consider whether they match your own expectations or hopes for your child. Things like, how are teachers trained? Is there a lot of homework? How does the school handle behavioral problems? If the values and morals of the school or daycare norwalk ct program aligns with your own, it may be a better fit.
Finally, always visit before you make your final selection of child care Norwalk CT programs. No matter how many great things you hear about a school, you will get a better feel for the way the school is run and the environment if you are actually immersed in it. Some schools will allow children to tour for an entire day, while others will hold open houses and informational meetings.
When narrowing down your preschool norwalk ct program selection, first begin with outlining what is important to you in a school. Whether it is an excellent foreign language program, or the soccer team, chances are you have specific criteria you are looking for. Do not let budget weigh you down, and finally, go for a visit. You will feel more comfortable making your decision about preschool norwalk ct programs if you thoroughly research, so do not skimp on the process.
Reasons To Consider Continuing Education Courses
Continuing your education need not involve long hours in the classroom, countless hours spent on research papers and an unsightly amount of meetings with classmates in libraries. Today, continuing your education can mean so much more. Here are a few reasons to consider continuing your own educational pursuits.
One: Considering continuing education courses keeps your brain fresh and active. Studies have shown that people who continue their education either as a hobby or for work and career purposes have more active brains, which can slow down degenerative neurological conditions and generally make people better able to recall certain things. Keep your brain as fresh and as active as it can be by looking into continuing education schools.
Two: Considering continuing education courses gives you more opportunities at work. Perhaps you have an interest in one educational area or another, or maybe you feel stuck at work and need a career change or a promotion. You have the potential to do both of these things by pursuing continuing education courses at a local institution or an online one. This enhances your knowledge of so many subjects, thereby making you better at your job or the most viable candidate for the next promotion that comes alone.
Three: Considering continuing education courses gives you additional flexibility. Most schools for continuing education are allowing for online experiences to be shared meaning lots of classes are regularly posted and made available online. As an adult, finding the time to attend physical classes can be an insurmountable challenge. But because nearly every continuing education school today offers online coursework, you have more flexibility. This could make you graduate or earn additional education credits in a short span of time while enabling you to attend classes from the comfort of your home.
Four: Considering continuing education puts you in a much better position to explore new career options. Forget for a minute about what you do for a living and instead visualize what you really want to be doing with your career. A class or two could be the answer you absolutely need to make a real decision on a career change. You could perhaps learn through a few classes whether this ideal career choice in fact would be ideal or whether certain challenges would present themselves. In short, you could pursue or nix that new career by taking a course or two on it with no strings attached.

Nevada historically has been on the forefront of gaming in the United States. Indeed, Nevada legalized gaming generally in 1931. Within 25 years, Las Vegas became a vibrant gambling mecca.
In 2013, Nevada turned another page. During that year, the first online poker site was legally permitted to commence operations in Nevada. The history of online poker in Nevada truly is an outgrowth of other legal gaming that has been a major part of the Nevada scene for decades.
Action by the Nevada Legislature and Governor
During the 2012 legislative session, The Nevada legislature passed a bill, that was signed into law by the Governor, that permitted online poker in Nevada with one major caveat. In order for an online poker operation to be legal in Nevada, any person must physically log onto an online poker site from within the state itself.
Our Recommended Legal Online Poker Site in Nevada
100% up to $400
Launch of First Online Poker Site
Following the enactment of the law that legalized online poker in Nevada, the first website offering this type of gaming went live in April 2013. Again, in order to lawfully play online poker in Nevada, a player must physically log on while within the state. The first site to feature Nevada poker was Ultimate Poker.
Additional Nevada Legal Online Poker Options
In September, the website WSOP.com commenced involvement in Nevada online gaming. Online poker Nevada expanded to Real Gaming in February 2014.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, other venues may offer Nevada online poker, and other gaming options, in the future.
Interstate Compact
In 2014, Nevada's online poker received a boost. The Governors of Nevada and Delaware entered into a compact. The compact permits people in both states the ability to participate in legal poker online.
In creating the compact, representatives of the two states indicate that the joining of Delaware and Nevada through the compact will permit people to enjoy larger payouts.
When the Governors of Delaware and Nevada signed the compact, they noted that what the two states were doing would also serve as a model for other jurisdictions interested in developing a plan and protocol for online gambling, including online poker.
A Plan to Make Online Poker Flourish
In joining with Delaware, Nevada recognized that states with lower populations likely could not support an online gaming endeavor. This is the case because of the restriction that people can only legally participate in a state's poker or gambling online options if they log on within that state.
Of course, Nevada has a large gambling tourist trade. Delaware, by contrast, does not. Moreover, Nevada is a sparsely populated state, but Delaware is even more so.
The underlying plan is that these joint state compacts will permit even states with small populations, and no brick and mortar world gaming industry, the ability to benefit from the trend towards online gambling and poker.
The potential exists for Nevada to enter into compacts with other states beyond Delaware as well. No immediate plans for joining with additional states through an online gambling compact currently are in the works.
