www.TED.com, a US based website, is well known for providing "talks" on varied, intriguing, unusual topics. I was first introduced to TED by Chimamanda Adichie's "Danger of the Single Story" in which she talks of her experience as a middle class Nigerian student being exposed to American ignorance and the 4D* stereotype of Africa. (*Death, Disease, Disaster and Despair).
TEDx allows independent local productions, subject to strict criteria, to be organised in countries other than the United States of America. On Sunday August 12th, students from Rhodes University organised TEDxRhodesU under the curatorship of Tyron Louw and an energetic team of helpers. The theme was "African Inspired" and featuring a series of talks by inspirational speakers who shared their ideas on how we can construct a better South Africa.
Between 09h00 and 16h30 17 inspirational speakers, from a range of disciplines, gave seven to eighteen minute talks which, quite frankly, renewed my hope for the future of South Africa. We have serious talent here and really serious commitment to realising the dream of a united South Africa where everyone has access to hope and opportunity.
Prof. Justin Jonas spoke of how the SKA telescope will attract the world's finest scientists and scientific interest. Dr. Mark Horner spoke of how open source text books can be authored by volunteers and provide free access to good maths and science education for those who are keen to learn. Prof. Harry Dugmore spoke of how laughter is the most important tonic for good health and success. Dr. Rob Smorfitt spoke of the critical ingredients for successful innovation. Harry Owen spoke of the role that poetry can play in saving the Rhino. I spoke, Eusebius McKaiser, political analyst and 702 talk show host, spoke......and 10 more speakers who kept the Grahamstown audience spellbound. It truly was 'cool'.
So, Sunday was a fascinating, inspirational day and above all gave me hope for our future, proving yet again that our mainstream media are in many respects doing us a disservice.
We will be featuring one talk a week on SA – the Good News starting today and they will all be available via TEDxRhodesU.com in the next few days.

"Know, also, the celebrated formulary of the onion. It is a great panacea of many distempers. Roasted under hot ash, after the embers have died, and blended with honey and rue, the electuary breaks tough phlegm, palliates gripes, acts as a laxative in the day and an astringent by night, purges the head of noises and clears the blood. The same vegetable, bruised and scrambled in syrup of the ripe red pomegranate, and mixed with laudanum, that is sublimed by slow fire, is right good for horror dreams of the young. The onion is an opener, and if cooked in jackets of corn-flour dough, and eaten with sea-dust and pepper to taste, it promotes the courses, dissolves the tumours, clears the complexion, and softens chapped hands. It is the king of medicaments, my dear."

Soft edge blending is a method, used to create a larger video display by combining the image of two or more projectors. When overlapping projectors, the overlapped region has higher brightness then the non overlapped regions, so there is a need to feather the edges. The process of edge blending, involves manipulation of individual pixels to ensure perfect intensity over a specified blend zone.
Each projector being used, will output a portion of the desired image, overlap with the outputs from the other projectors. Using the edge blending process, the result is a perfect seamless display, created out of multiple images aligned horizontally to create unusual displays.
Logix-4D edge blending is a very cost-effective and efficient method of producing the most innovative and extraordinary large displays.
With edge blending capability, along with the multi-channel frame, accurate playback synchronization, all offered by Logix-4D, you can playback a large mega-pixel video split into multiple high definition files. Any number of projectors can be blended to create a large seamless image.
Every overlapped region is provided with Intensity correction and control over brightness of each color, this allows easy compensation for many of the problems faced when blending projectors.

Mark gave some excellent standards for dealing with lists.
One good way to ensure you delete a list and reset the list id is to do this:
if somelist >0 and listlen(somelist)>=0 then somelist=dellist(somelist);
DelList() returns a 0 if successful, and is good candidate value for an 'ex-list' id.
I typically use a less robust (but will move up to the more robust use of listlen() ) if somelist then somelist=dellist(somelist);
To simplify the whole concept, macroize it (the macro can be defined anywhere (even in the SCL), I suggest an autocall library)
%macro DELLIST (aList,recurse=N); if &aList > 0 and listlen (&aList) >= 0 then &aList = dellist (&aList,&recurse); %mend;
... a=makelist(); b=makelist(); c=makelist(); ... %dellist (a) %dellist (b) %dellist (c)
I leave the exercise of replacing <aList> (macro var containing one variable name [whose value is a list id]) with <lists> (macro var containing space separated list of variable names [whose values are list ids]) to the curious.

Mobile travel applications let you select and track flights, book hotels and effortlessly manage all of those last-minute changes that will inevitably occur your trip. The Gear Diary team are huge fans of travel apps like TripIt, but that's not the only game in town.
If you are using a Symbian smartphone, you may prefer Psiloc's World Traveler that features the "HotelZon" plugin that lets you search and book hotel rooms in real time from a selection of more than 90,000 hotels worldwide. That's in addition to their free currency converters, world clocks for managing multiple timezones, weather and premium plugins for additional flight assistance. Best of all, World Traveler is optimized specifically for your Symbian phone. Read on to see even more features.
World Traveler's HotelZon will help you locate available hotel rooms and book from a selection of over 90,000 hotels in more than 180 countries worldwide. The HotelZon feature includes GPS search and the ability to browse, create and cancel reservations right from your mobile.
International travelers will appreciate that the application supports 23 different languages, including English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Press Release:
WARSAW. FEBRUARY 22 —Polish mobile solutions innovator Psiloc announced today that is has added a complete hotel bookings plug-in to its flagship travel platform, World Traveler, thanks to a newly-signed agreement with Finnish mobile hotel bookings leader Hotelzon.
"The new hotel bookings plug-in, which will be marketed under the Hotelzon name, will allow you to search for, find availability and book a hotel stay either by location, hotel category or length of stay—all through your mobile phone," Marek Filipiak, Psiloc founder and president, said. "But for the traveler who suddenly gets stuck with nowhere to stay, the search option can be switched to location by GPS, which then automatically checks all hotels in the immediate vicinity.
"We consider this a key step forward in the development of our World Traveler product," he added.
The Hotelzon bookings plug-in should make waves in what Filipiak noted to be a cutting-edge and highly-competitive industry that is bringing new products to the traveler on an almost daily basis. The Hotelzon plug-in offers a new twist, however, by offering a "GPS-radius" feature, which allows a traveler to scan his immediate area for available hotels—even if he does not happen to know his exact location.
"Simply switch into the plug-in and set your radius for five or 10 or 15 kilometers," Filipiak said. "Then let World Traveler's Hotelzon plug-in do the rest and find an available hotel that matches your standards."
Filipiak also emphasized the reach of the new plug-in. Finnish Hotelzon is ranked as the biggest mobile hotel stay provider, with access to booking more than 90,000 hotels world-wide through their mobile phone application.
Likewise, the Finnish company has already proven to be a hit with the business world. With a corporate client base exceeding 15,000 corporate organizations, Hotelzon has more than 100,000 mobile users.
The addition of Hotelzon's coverage to Psiloc's reach through the World Traveler platform should be a game changer, according to Hotelzon CEO Jani Kaskinen.
"With the current economic climate, the importance of smart travel policies, cost control, security and reporting tools cannot be more vital," Kaskinen said. "This application is set to transform the way in which business travel is booked."
This impact should be magnified, as Psiloc is one of the world's leading providers of smartphone software solutions. With the addition of recent plug-ins to the company's World Traveler application, such as the popular Flight Assistant plug-in, which allows travelers to search for and book flights—while also being alerted to flight status changes—Psiloc has seen its total number of users grow to more than 1.5 million users world-wide.
The World Traveler application also includes features that allow users to check the time in multiple time zones, as well as the currency exchange rates and the weather for a user's destination. Filipiak noted that the Hotelzon plug-in is the first "third-party" plug-in to be added to World Traveler, and users will be able to download the plug-in by either going to the plug-in manager within the World Traveler application or by visiting Psiloc's www.worldtraveler.biz website.
Thus the agreement pairs not only optimum technology, but also similar strategies in approaching the business client.
"It is all about convenience and speed," Psiloc's Filipiak added. "We realize that modern travel is not perfect. There will be changes in both personal and airline schedules, for example. What we are attempting to do—and what we believe we have achieved—is a pairing of technologies that will help the traveler adapt to such changes quickly and with minimal stress."
Notes to editors:
- Psiloc is one of the world's leading mobile phone application providers, with Filipiak attributing recent success to a combination of the company's deep knowledge of Symbian technology and strategic relationships with the world's leading cellular phone manufacturers.
- Psiloc's mobile travel platform, World Traveler, is compatible with all Nokia S60 phones and is pre-installed on several current devices. The platform will be pre-installed on more models beginning in 2010.

- Hotelzon processes more than one million room nights a year.
- Hotelzon has access to more than 90,000 hotels worldwide.
- Hotelzon is a leading corporate online booking company, offering booking services and technology to corporate clients, hotels and agency partners.

text: I'll take the bait on disparate impact: Prof. Volokh's "Lochnerism" concern seems overblown in this context. Substantive due process, as construed in Lochner, had essentially unlimited reach. It allowed courts to strike down virtually any regulation. Current equal protection doctrine ameliorates that potential problem by limiting heightened scrutiny to suspect classifications and fundamental interests. (The latter category might raise the stakes, but, if the fundamental interests doctrine retains any vitality at all, it's only a pale shadow of the fundamental rights doctrine of substantive due process. In any event, I doubt the Court would accompany a move to a disparate impact equal protection approach with a revitalization of the fundamental interests doctrine.) It's also worth remembering that the Due Process Clause forbids certain types of regulation altogether, while the Equal Protection Clause merely forbids unequal application of otherwise permissible regulations. On a broader plane, I don't think the structural concern about Lochnerism should torpedo every bold constitutional initiative. What we take provisions as amorphous as the the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses to mean necessarily reflects value judgments. The Lochner-era Court made a bid to constitutionalize private economic interests to an extreme degree. For a variety of reasons, many of them related to interbranch and Court-societal dialogue about national priorities, the Court retreated. The lesson of that experience isn't that *no* interest is worth the costs of according intensive constitutional protection; it's that private economic interests weren't. If ratcheting up protection for disadvantaged groups along disparate impact lines turned out to enlarge drastically the policymaking role of courts, that would be a reason to consider retreating from, or at least scaling back, the heightened protection. But sitting here at square one, I think the value judgment behind such a constitutional initiative is sound, and I think there's an excellent chance that the benefits would be substantially higher and the costs substantially lower than under Lochner. Greg Magarian Assistant Professor of Law Villanova University School of Law (610) 519-7652 magarian at law.villanova.edu >>> "Volokh, Eugene" <VOLOKH at MAIL.LAW.UCLA.EDU> 06/27/00 06:43PM >>> Well, these are all interesting and sensible factors, but I still get the feeling that if this approach is in fact applied to all government action, courts will have to do a tremendous amount of very difficult second-guessing of the "necessity" of a huge range of criminal laws, civil tort causes of actions, executive branch policies, and the like. The Lochner era cases put the government to the burden of justifying the perceived necessity of various restraints on economic liberty, and put the judges in the position of striking down any infringements that they, given their value systems, found "unnecessary." But this would stretch far further than that: Any government decision, whether or not it involves what constitutional law calls a property interest or a liberty interest, would be potentially subject to judicial invalidation on the grounds that its disparate impact on this or that group -- and as I said some disparate impact on some group will very often be present -- is in the judge's eyes "unnecessary." A judge who thinks that certain gun controls are unnecessary could easily hold many of them unconstitutional on those grounds; a judge who thinks economic regulations are unnecessary could do the same; a judge who thinks that certain taxes are unnecessary could do likewise; a judge who believes that the current social security system (which generally pays less to blacks than to whites, since blacks on average die earlier) is unnecessary could do the same; and the list would go on. Can such a system really work? Now I'm not sure exactly what the focus on "treating the traditionally dis/less enfranchised with special attention" would exactly mean; it might mean that laws that disproportionately burden whites or males are just fine, while laws that disproportionately burden members of other racial groups or females have to be justified under a "necessity" standard. Given Croson and Adarand, I doubt the Court would buy that, and for that matter note that even Brennan et al. in Bakke wouldn't say that discrimination against whites should face *no* scrutiny. But even if courts adopt this overtly race- and sex-based principle, there is still a vast range of laws that does disproportionately burden blacks, Hispanics, Asians, women, Jews, Catholics, and other traditionally dis/less enfranchised groups -- and if one includes the foreign born, disabled, and aged, as Prof. Binion suggests, then the list would get even vaster. So I'm not sure that even completely excluding whites and males from this principle would prevent the "disparate impacts must be justified as necessary" problem I outline above. Gayle Binion writes: > Okay, a little more "flesh" for the application of the negligence theory. > I wasn't referring to "disparate impact" as the determinate standard per > se. Professor Volokh is right then you'd have to look at impact to the > exclusion of all else...

Home Energy Score Video (text version)
Below is the text version of the video titled "Save Money with the Home Energy Score." In addition to this text version of the audio, you can view the video. This video, presented by Cathy Zoi, Acting Under Secretary of Energy, introduces the U.S. Department of Energy's Home Energy Score program.
[Image of Cathy Zoi sitting in front of a computer screen with "Save Money with the Home Energy Score" appearing on the screen.]
Hi, I'm Cathy Zoi, Acting Under Secretary of Energy. I'm excited to expand upon an announcement Vice President Biden just made to help you save money by saving energy. Today we're giving you a preview of a new program called the Home Energy Score. It helps householders and prospective home buyers understand how a home's energy systems perform on a simple, 10-point scale.
[Image of the dashboard of a car driving down the road with an EPA Fuel Economy Estimate label.]
To put it in perspective, most of you know what the mileage your car gets - or should get. And that the higher the MPG rating, the less you're going to spend on gasoline.
[Image of home and then a sheet of paper with an annual summary of utility bills.]
But what about your home? Do you have any idea what the "MPG" of your home is?!? Here's the thing: most Americans spend between $1,500 and $2,500 each year on home energy costs.
[Image of Cathy Zoi sitting in front of a computer screen with "Save Money with the Home Energy Score" appearing on the screen.]
Well, the new Home Energy Score is like the MPG for your house. It provides a barometer for home energy performance, so you can see how your home uses energy and receive tailor-made suggestions on how to reduce your utility bills by a lot.
Let me walk you through how the Home Energy Score works.
[Image of a home performance contractor walking through a home looking at a furnace, duct work, and insulation.]
As you know, all homes are different. So first, a trained and qualified contractor will come to your house to evaluate your particular home's structure, its heating and cooling systems, insulation levels and more.
[Screenshot of the Home Energy Scoring Tool where the contractor can enter information about the type of heating system, year heating system was installed, and heating system efficiency.]
Next, the contractor will enter that information into the Home Energy Scoring Tool to generate your home's score.
[Image of Cathy Zoi sitting in front of a computer screen with a sample Home Energy Score label appearing on the screen.]
And then right then and there you'll receive a label like this, full of valuable information.
[Focus on the label's number scale with an arrow indicating the home's current score of 6 and a highlight on the 10 and then a highlight on the 1.]
- You can see your home's current score, where a 10 is the best, most efficient home; and a 1 means there's a lot of energy and money being wasted;
[Focus on the label's number scale with an arrow indicating a score of 8 with upgrades and the estimated annual savings of $350.]
- Here's your home's score with upgrades, meaning what your score could be if you make all of the recommended home energy improvements, such as adding insulation and sealing your ducts;
- And this is your estimated annual savings, which could easily total hundreds of dollars each year if you make all of the upgrades.
[Screen showing custom recommendations: seal air ducts with an annual savings estimate of $210 and payback time of 4 years; insulate attic to R-49 with an annual savings estimate of $140 and payback time of 6 years; replace water heater with an annual savings estimate of $40 and payback time of 5 years.]
Along with your home score, you'll receive customized recommendations on how to improve your home's energy performance and an estimate of how long it'll take to recover your investment.
[Image of the home performance contractor looking at duct work and then the contractor speaking with the homeowners.]
And because only qualified professionals can access the Home Energy Scoring Tool, you can be confident that you're getting accurate results.
[Image of Cathy Zoi sitting in front of a computer screen with "Save Money with the Home Energy Score" appearing on the screen.]
Here's another great thing: no matter where you live – or are looking to buy – the Home Energy Scoring Tool can be used. It works everywhere in the country. Whether you're in Tampa or Tuscaloosa; Minneapolis or Midland; a technician enters the data, your house gets scored and you get practical recommendations for making the home more comfortable and economical.
So we're very excited about the Home Energy Score. Finally, an easy way to get quick and credible advice on how to save money and make your family more comfortable. And a tool that allows you to benchmark one home against another – and to brag about your home if it's really efficient! All of this while helping America reduce dependence on polluting fuels, many of which are imported from overseas.
For the next few months, we'll be piloting the Home Energy Score in selected communities across the country. We'll then make it widely available in the middle of 2011, so get ready!

Remember, the Home Energy Score is a perfect combo: Saving Money, Saving Energy, Helping America.

A true psychological fetish is defined as an object or situation that is required in order for the participant to achieve arousal and orgasm during sexual encounters. So I probably don't have a true and honest smoking fetish, perse, because my husband and I don't smoke. But I do have an incurable and inexplicable attraction to it. In almost every single one of my sexual fantasies, the male aggressor (and he's always an aggressor) is a borderline chain smoker, with style and flair and a silver zippo lighter.
In my mind, a man who smokes is powerful and self assured, even though in reality it shows he is a slave to an addiction. In my twisted fantasy world he knows that what he does is wrong, and dirty, and taboo...but does it anyway, rebelling against authority. He holds the cigarette deftly between his fingers. It's natural, an extension of his hand. He doesn't hold it in a strange and trendy manner, not in stilted English style with thumb and forefinger. He holds it loosely between index and middle finger, and when not taking long drags off of it in a darkened bar, it just dangles and smolders at his side. A good smoker can deftly speak with his cigarette held tight between his lips, a thin stream of hot smoke squinting up his eyes like he's looking into the sun. He actually mutters his words at this point, out of the corner of his mouth, and sort of holds his head up, his chin cocked up to keep the smoke away from whoever he's talking to.
"You going to the party after?"
is the sort of thing he says.
A good smoker smokes Marlboros...red...in the box. He can flick a spent butt over ten feet without even trying. He ashes with a tight snap of his thumb, barely breaking stride in his speech or walking rhythm.
A good smoker knows I don't smoke but doesn't even ask if it's O.K. if he does. It's not his problem. He's a smoker, and I have to deal with it. A good smoker holds his 'smoke' and a beer bottle in one hand.
When he kisses me, I can taste whiskey and smoke on his tongue.
He doesn't do 'tricks'. He doesn't blow smoke rings or light matches on his teeth. A good smoker smokes cigarettes after sex, but not before breakfast. He doesn't smoke at baseball games, but always at bars. A good smoker keeps his teeth well brushed and white, his fingernails cut short and clean, and his hair a tousled, non-conformist mess. He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good.
So you can see, a good smoker lives only in my mind. But he sure does a lot of damage while he's there.

Should movie theaters tighten security in wake of Colorado shooting?
You gotta love this question!! Every emergancy door has a sign that says "Alarm will sound when door is opened". OK was it Hillary or Holder that disabled the alarm to make all gun owners look bad,
The shooter went in with everyone else and then snuck out the emergancy exit, propped it open while he got dressed and then walked back in an started shooting people.
No alarms and the theater has a no guns policy so nobody was able to shoot back.
Anyone else smell a rat or lawsuit!!
Hmmm, this entirely blows the cops' story, and my assumed plot, right out of the water, unless the perp disabled the alarm prior to the shooting, which is entirely plausible, since he planned this in advance. Ohhhhhhh, planned in advance, does Colorado have the death penalty?

Fixing Kids' Sports
Rescuing children's games from crazed coaches and parents
"Child abuse." As parents got more involved, some got too involved, and things turned ugly. By the mid-'70s, Engh had seen enough. His daughter played on a softball team whose coach was caught urging his girls to shoplift for him, Engh says. And then, coaching his own son's baseball team, he ran into the father who told his boy with the sore elbow to stay in there and pitch. This was nothing more, Engh says, than "legalized child abuse."
He decided to do something about it. By 1980, he began working out of a tiny second-floor office in West Palm Beach, creating a training manual for coaches. The idea: to make team sports less pressurized, safer, and more child friendly. Engh still remembers the day when the bank called and told his wife, Michaele, they were $440 overdrawn. With seven kids to feed, Engh thought it was the end. Then he opened his mail, and in it was his first order for the new manual, a check for $732. He never looked back.
Today, Engh's National Alliance for Youth Sports has certified 2.1 million volunteer coaches. But that, he says, isn't enough; everyone in youth sports--administrators, coaches, officials, parents--should be trained and sensitized. Indeed, one evening in February 2000, the Jupiter-Tequesta Athletic Association in Florida packed more than 1,500 parents into a stadium to watch a video on how to be a good sports parent, pick up a handbook, and sign a sportsmanship pledge--or their children could not play. Engh's National Alliance has even created a program to teach basic skills to kids as young as 3, so they can enjoy sports from the start. Near Buffalo, N.Y., the town of Hamburg adopted all of the alliance programs. "The coaches used to show up like, 'We're going to war here,' " says Tim Jerome, president of the junior football league. "It was pretty bad." Verbal abuse, shoving matches, parents misbehaving, it's all "changed dramatically," he says.
"The one thing people need to understand," Engh emphasizes, "is that they don't need to put up with this anymore." Mike Murray agrees. "Here in Northern Virginia," says Murray, a high school coach, teacher, and a director of youth baseball training programs, "you've seen a real cultural shift. All the things you'd want, people policing themselves. I think in large part people have bought into this." Murray is a trainer for another organization, the Positive Coaching Alliance. The alliance shares many of the same goals as Engh's organization--and even some of the same tips--but their approaches are different. Engh's organization wants all volunteers trained and certified; the Positive Coaching Alliance is focused more on the zen of coaching.
The PCA is the brainchild of a soft-spoken former college basketball player named Jim Thompson. While studying at Stanford University Business School in the mid-1980s, he found himself coaching his son's baseball and basketball teams. Seeing too many "negative interactions" between coaches and players, he recalled his earlier experiences working at the Behavioral Learning Center in St. Paul, Minn. There he had learned the power that positive reinforcement had on severely disturbed children. He wrote a book called Positive Coaching, which stressed some basic principles: Athletes perform best when they feel good about themselves. The way to keep them confident is with positive comments. Athletes so motivated will be confident, try hardest, take chances, and play "over their heads." And when that happens, the team wins.

Do pledged Obama delegates have the obligation to switch votes at the convention if they feel that he no longer represents the sentiments of those that elected him?
The DNC rules not only allow it, they encourage it:
http://www.pledgednotbound.com/ - July 10, 2008 at 5:02 PM
The members of my family all voted Obama. I wish I could give permission for the delegate who represents us to vote Clinton instead.
I was okay with either candidate until the DNC took Michigan delegates from Clinton and gave them to Obama. Since when are votes taken away from one person and given to another? This isn't "Who did this hanging-chad voter intend to vote for?" This is "We know you voted for Clinton, but we're changing your vote to Obama." - July 12, 2008 at 8:18 PM

Tony - Pledged Delegates should switch sides since Obama has flip-flopped. He is no longer running as a so-called new kind of politician.
Connie - The RBC ruling on Michigan was awful! :(
Have faith! and maybe Hillary can still win the nomination :) - July 13, 2008 at 1:15 AM

Information About Karrakatta Cemetery
If you are interested in history, many historians and genealogists suggest you visit old cemeteries to learn more about the history of a community. Cemeteries like Karrakatta Cemetery in the Perth suburb of Karrakatta have stories to tell because they have been open for over 100 years.
General Cemetery Information
This cemetery first opened in 1899 and it is the place of internment for thousands of people who lived in Western Australia. Approximately one million visitors go to the cemetery each year to see the burial sites of loved ones or to visit the sites of famous Australian politicians, writers, historians and others. Heath Ledger, Prime Minister John Curtin, and Premier Sir John Forrest are some of the more notable people buried in the cemetery.
The first mausoleum in Western Australia was opened at the cemetery in 1995. It is located near the centre of the cemetery and it is home to many works of art depicting important people and periods in Christian history. The mausoleum area is designed and inspired by Mediterranean themes and it has just completed the fifth stage of construction, completing the first mausoleum.
The cemetery also contains the Karrakatta Crematorium, which was opened in 1937. It was the first crematorium to be established in Western Australia. There have been several renovations and updates of the crematorium since it was established. The Karrakatta Crematorium prides itself on having the most rigorous standards in the wrong for energy conservation, as well as emissions.
There are four chapels at the cemetery, three of which are indoor chapels. The Brown, Norfolk and Dench chapels are housed indoors, all of which are air conditioned for comfort and they all contain state of the art sound systems. The Garden Chapel is an outdoor facility, which is adjacent to the indoor chapel area.
The Burial Areas of Karrakatta Cemetery
The cemetery has several different burial areas that include the denominational area that is also subdivided by religion and ethnicity. The areas contain beautiful gardens and areas that allow visitors some time to reflect peacefully while visiting loved ones. The burial areas include:
- The Denominational Area - this burial area is divided into sections for 37 different religious and ethnic groups. There are sections for Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Methodist, Anglicans, Muslims and Jews. While the new burial areas are non-denominational, the religious groups still tend to be buried in the own groups.
- Lawn Areas - There are many different lawn areas throughout the cemetery that are non-denominational. Headstones that are put in these areas are restricted to a height of 1.05 meters. There are many areas to sit and reflect on memories of your loved ones in the lawn areas.
- Children's Burial Area - There is a special area to remember children who have passed on. It is dedicated to those children who are 13 years of age or younger. Next to the burial area, there is a children's memorial garden in which memorial plaques can be placed after cremation. The headstones in the children's burial area are limited to height of 900 millimeters.
- The Aboriginal "Keeping Place" - This area of the cemetery is a project of the Department of Indigenous Affairs. It is a burial area designed to be the resting place for the remains of indigenous people that were previously in museums in the state and around the country of Australia. The Keeping Place is located in an area with a shady grove, surrounded by natural vegetarian and landscaping.
Karrakatta Cemetery Walking Trails
The first resident of the area to be interned at the Karrakatta Cemetery was a 29-year-old wheelwright who had died of Typhoid Fever. Robert Creighton's grave was placed in the Church of England section of the cemetery, where it still can be viewed today. The cemetery offers several historical walking trails to view the resting places of some of the area's most famous and infamous citizens.
The cemetery has buried over 200,000 people since its establishment and over 189,000 cremations have taken place since the crematorium was opened in 1937. The trails were laid out by the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board. There are maps located in the administration building at the cemetery or they can be downloaded on the cemetery's website.
Cemetery Services
The Karrakatta Cemetery offers many convenient services for those who want to hold a memorial at the facility. They have an onsite catering staff that will serve the food for friends and family that have come to pay their respects to a loved one. The food is served in one of the condolences lounges after the funeral service has concluded.
If you are visiting the grave of a loved one or taking a walk along one of the trails, you can stop for refreshments at the onsite cafe. The Karrakatta Cafe is located just within the Railway Road main entrance to the cemetery. They serve beverages and light food to visitors.
Funeral Etiquette at the Cemetery
Only a maximum of five cars are allowed in the funeral procession within the cemetery. The hearse and four other cars are the only ones allowed in order to keep traffic within the facility to a minimum. The procession is to wait at the main driveway of the cemetery until it is time for the services for the deceased. Mourners can wait at the "wait house", which is located near the cafe. When it is time for the service, they can follow the cortege on foot to the gravesite or the chapel, wherever the service is being held.
The Town of Karrakatta
This suburb of Perth lies within the City of Nedlands and it is divided by the Fremantle railroad. The south side is where the Karrakatta Cemetery is located. It is surrounded by an industrial area that includes monument companies and other businesses that cater to the funeral industry. The depot for Nedlands is on the south side as well. On the north side of the tracks lies the Karrakatta railway station and the Irwin Army Barracks for the Australian Defense Forces.

The Illinois Board of Higher Education is composed of 15 board members that make decisions about everything involving the state's higher education system — from policies to grants and more. The board is also a wealth of information for interested, concerned consumers. People with questions concerning transcripts, residency requirements, or admissions can direct their issues to the board. However, some concerns must be dealt with by other entities. For ease and convenience, the board offers a full list of emails and contact information for these other organizations here.

While the fact that more and more colleges are taking the leap online is generally a good sign, there has been a noticeable increase in not-so-reputable organizations claiming to offer degree plans and diplomas without having any actual educational authority to do so. However, the Illinois Board of Higher Education has caught on to this and has since implemented several initiatives such as the Illinois Online Network to ensure that people only enroll in legitimate online colleges in Illinois. This goal is also reflected in other movements made throughout the state.
Offered through the University of Illinois-Chicago, this program of Blended Learning started in 2008 as a way to give students more flexible education options they could rely on. Sure, there was and still is no shortage of online degree programs available, but half of those were not even from accredited organizations. Plus, this was a great option for the student interested in online education but wasn't yet ready to give up face-to-face instruction. As of Fall 2010, there were 40 blended courses available.
Another statewide initiative that seeks to connect potential students with reputable online colleges in Illinois is the Illinois Virtual Campus. Started in 1999, not long after the Illinois Online Network, this organization sought to counteract the rapid progression of diploma mills. It holds any and all of its participating organizations to very high standards to ensure that students get only the best online education possible. Containing an easy-to-use search engine, visitors to the site can quickly find what they are looking for to meet their specific education needs.
First created in 1997 when there were just a handful of online courses to choose from, the Illinois Online Network was originally just a collaboration of 10 community colleges seeking to join forces when it came to the world of distance learning. Today, the entity has more than 40 participating institutions and works with roughly 2,000 faculty members to provide current and prospective students with the most up-to-date, thorough information in their selected fields. Some degrees offered through this network can be obtained completely via online education, perfectly illustrating the pervasive impact of the trend.
Health care, education, business and financial services, and manufacturing are some of Illinois' most important industries. Considering the best options for further employment, students may choose to study subjects such as health care administration, health science, business, finance, or education. Specific training programs in areas like veterinary technology, physical therapy assisting, or other allied health care may also prove beneficial in today's market. Here are just a few of the top growing occupations in the state as reported by the Illinois Department of Employment Security:

Find A Natural Alternative To Your Sports Drink
How many times have you guys heard that you need the newest pre-workout, workout, and post-workout drink in order to optimize your routine?
Most gyms and supermarkets are stocked with the colorful and tasty "pumping" drinks and vitamin-fortified waters. But what do we actually get out of the sports drinks that Americans spent $5.4 billion on last year?
The reality is, most of the people who consume sports drinks don't need them, and are simply dumping excessive grams of unnecessary sugar into their bodies. Being a long-distance runner, I do crave for that carbohydrate and electrolyte boost during my half-marathon trainings, that many of those sports drinks provide. However, even on those 10+ mile runs, most sports drinks simply have too many chemicals to go along with that sugar.
Here is a Natural Sports Drink Reciepe that you can try making at home:
- 1 quart of liquid (options: green tea, herbal teas,coconut water, plain water, etc)
- 1/8-1/4 tsp Himalayan Pink Sea Salt(try to stick to Himalayan, as the regular doesn't have all the trace minerals)
- 1/4 cup lime/lemon juice (you can do any other juice too, but it will have more sugar than the lime/lemon)
- 1-2 TBSP sweetener (stick to organic certified organic raw honey or pure stevia extract for natural options)
Try prunes, figs or raisins as a cheap and natural sugar boost during your long (45 mins+) runs, workouts.
For a Post Workout replenishing drink, I absolutely love ZICO Coconut Water. It replenishes you without dumping any chemicals into your body.

For almost 15 years, Web designers have had a list of 10 "Core Web fonts" to choose from. Many ask, "Why can't I just download a font file from my Web server the same way I can an image?" Well, actually, you can. The verbiage for font linking is a little different than images, but the syntax for Webfont linking has been around for over 10 years as a part of the CSS standard. Web typography expert Jason Cranford Teague shows you how to apply the principles of fluid typography, to choose, find and use Webfonts and create your unique typographic voice.
