Comments about Pakboats 17 Folding Canoe:
I bought this canoe so it could be transported in a camper van without the hassle of putting it on top. Assembly took a little over an hour with 2 people. Some parts were a stuggle (sliding in the gunnels, they caught every 16 inches or so and had to be unstuck by a helper. The instructions were rather poorly written and seem to apply to all of the canoe line even when the parts were different. I feel as if 2 people could assemble the boat in 40 minutes after a couple of assmblies
On the water the canoe seemed a little more sluggish than a composite boat, but I expect that its rough water performance to be better. I am impressed with the quality of the hull and its reinforcements. The thin layer of closed cell foam between the skin and frame is also a nice touch. I have owned a few folding kayaks and this is the area that takes most of the abuse. The web seats are comfortable, the bow more than the stern due to width issues. The boad does not include a yoke so that will be an extra to purchase. K aneeling requires an ensolite pad or crazy creek chair as the ribs are in the way.
My only real complaint is that one of the air chambers, out of the 6, does not hold air for more than half a day. I suspect that the valve may have a small leak, but have not had time to fully determine the cause. If I can get the chamber to hold air overnight the boat gets another star; otherwise, I'll be speaking with REI's customer service department.

Comments about Pakboats 17 Folding Canoe:
I have used my 10 year old boat on over 10 major expeditions in Alaska, Yukon, NWT and Nunavit for a total of over 8000 miles. Longest trip down the Yukon River in 2009, 2000 miles, 67 days. I mail the boat to the float plane company and mail it home from the town at the end of the trip. Easy to put together, once you do it a couple of times, usualy less than an hour. Easy to take apart, less than 20 minutes. Weighs around 50 lbs. so it is very easy to portage. The boat is durable and the skin is extremely easy to patch.
Best Uses
Comments about Pakboats 17 Folding Canoe:
Bought this because we didn't have enough room to have a full-size canoe in the garage. It's very convenient, but the first time you put it together it takes quite a long time. The second time you put it together takes about 20 mins. I managed to bend one of the cross-beams - you have to remember to be careful where you apply force. Fortunately [...]got me a replacement part very quickly. Because the boat is quite light, and has very large sides you can get pretty severe cross-wind loading. So it's actually better behaved with some ballast loading.
Best Uses
Comments about Pakboats 17 Folding Canoe:
I bought the 16 ft, thinking it would be great in remote areas. I took it to Trapper's Lake, CO to try it out. It is HEAVY. The website say it takes 30 minutes to set up. I am very handy at setting things up, having set up tents in the dark for the first time. After 2 hours of wrestling this thing around, I gave up. Then came the bigger surprise, it took 3 of us 3 hours to take it apart! Trying to slip and pull the rods out was a night mare! A waste of a great day in Colorado! Additionally, it looked too flimsy for the purpose I had in mind, back country canoeing in the southeast. This has been the biggest mistake I have ever made!
Best Uses
Comments about Pakboats 17 Folding Canoe:
I have packed this canoe in my car trunk or checked it as baggage on charter and commercial airlines while padding this boat down the Kazan River in Nunanvut, Hells Bay in the Everglades, between islands in the Dry Tortugas, on the Lake Superior water trail, and in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. It's been dragged loaded over beaver dams and lined up and down rocky streams with only minor scratches (repair kit included for major damage).

James Dimon has held both chairman and chief executive positions since 2006. Bloomberg
A big public employee union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and pension funds in Connecticut and New York are backing the nonbinding resolution asking the largest U.S. bank by assets to name an independent chairman for its board. The proposal, which Afscme announced on Wednesday, would come up for a vote at J.P. Morgan's annual meeting this spring.
Afscme filed the resolution with J.P. Morgan late in 2012, and the bank hasn't asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to throw it out, an Afscme official said. Afscme intends to lobby the bank's largest shareholders for votes in favor of the split, the official said.
The proposal also has the backing of the Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds, Hermes Equity Ownership Services and an array of New York City pension funds overseen by New York City Comptroller John Liu. The coalition owns 16.7 million shares, or roughly 0.4% of all shares outstanding.

A similar proposal received 40% approval from shareholders in 2012, the highest percentage on such an advisory proposal since at least 2005. J.P. Morgan has argued in prior years that the split wasn't necessary. A bank spokesman declined to comment Wednesday.
Many investors and corporate-governance specialists have said the roles of chairman and CEO should be separated to maximize management's accountability and the board's independence.
Large financial firms are under scrutiny for their governance arrangements following their rescue by taxpayers during the financial crisis and a long period of poor stock performance. Even so, most of the big U.S. banks and securities firms continue to vest both duties in one person.

Mr. Raymond's committee held 13 meetings while examining the trades and conducted 22 interviews of current and former employees, officers and directors, according to a Feb. 7 letter from Mr. Raymond reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. It also searched more than 21 million electronic and hard-copy documents.
The board also decided not to initiate any lawsuits against any current or former employees, officers or directors in the wake of the trading episode, according to the Feb. 7 letter from Mr. Raymond.

DVB Receives ABU Green Broadcast Award
04 Nov 2013
DVB has been selected for the ABU Green Broadcasting Award in recognition of DVB-T2 as a revolutionary technology that, compared to all other terrestrial distribution technologies, has the highest potential to reduce transmission related greenhouse emissions.
When comparing to other terrestrial systems and keeping all other parameters such as payload and coverage equal, DVB-T2 only requires between 10 and 25% of the power. This allows broadcasters to optimize their network either for higher capacity or lower power consumption.

When you try to print your BBDB using the 'P'
command, you will find that this only works for ASCII text. As soon as you have non-ASCII characters in your bbdb.tex file, you need to fiddle with your TeX setup. This is nigh impossible if you use all sorts of languages in your BBDB. In this case, you will have a working BbdbMule? setup for display already. Here is the missing stuff for the print setup.
First, make sure you can use PsPrint for with multibyte buffers. Test it with the HELLO file, because we will use 'M-x ps-print-buffer'
to print the BBDB buffer instead of the bbdb-print functions.
First, we need to define a display type to use for printing, since you will probably not want to use the default layouts. Here we add the 'printable'
outline to the alist of layouts. We allow toggling, so now we can use 't'
and '* t'
to cycle through the one-line, the multi-line, and the printable layout.
(add-to-list 'bbdb-display-layout-alist '(printable (order net icq aim irc-nick phones addresses notes www) (toggle . t)))
The order element in the alist indicates what fields are displayed, and in what order, after the name. See the doc string for 'bbdb-display-layout-alist'
if you want to know more.
And we want some of the nice features of bbdb-print, too. In particular, we want 'bbdb-print-require'
and 'bbdb-print-net'
to have an effect:
(setq bbdb-print-require t bbdb-print-net 'primary)
If you want to read the doc strings of those variables, you need to load the 'bbdb-print'
library (use 'M-x load-library'
So now all we need is the function to do it! This one is hacked together using some code from bbdb-print and almost all of 'bbdb-format-record-layout-multi-line'
(defun bbdb-format-record-layout-printable (layout record field-list) "Layout formatting function for the `printable' layout. Takes `bbdb-print-require' and `bbdb-print-net' into account." (let* ((name (bbdb-record-name record));; bind these for bbdb-print-require (company (bbdb-record-company record)) (net (bbdb-record-net record)) (phone (bbdb-record-phones record)) (address (bbdb-record-addresses record)) (notes (bbdb-record-raw-notes record))) (when (eval bbdb-print-require) (bbdb-format-record-name-company record) (insert "\n") (let* ((notes (bbdb-record-raw-notes record)) (indent (or (bbdb-display-layout-get-option layout 'indentation) 6)) (fmt (format " %%%ds: " indent)) start field) (if (stringp notes) (setq notes (list (cons 'notes notes)))) (while field-list (setq field (car field-list) start (point)) (cond ((eq field 'phones) (let ((phones (bbdb-record-phones record)) loc phone) (while phones (setq phone (car phones) start (point)) (setq loc (format fmt (bbdb-phone-location phone))) (insert loc) (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field (list 'phone phone 'field-name)) (setq start (point)) (insert (bbdb-phone-string phone) "\n") (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field (list 'phone phone (bbdb-phone-location phone))) (setq phones (cdr phones)))) (setq start nil)) ((eq field 'addresses) (let ((addrs (bbdb-record-addresses record)) loc addr) (while addrs (setq addr (car addrs) start (point)) (setq loc (format fmt (bbdb-address-location addr))) (insert loc) (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field (list 'address addr 'field-name)) (setq start (point)) (bbdb-format-address addr nil indent) (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field (list 'address addr (bbdb-address-location addr))) (setq addrs (cdr addrs)))) (setq start nil)) ((eq field 'net) (let ((net (bbdb-record-net record))) (setq net (cond ((eq bbdb-print-net 'primary) (list (car net))) ((eq bbdb-print-net 'all) net) (t nil))) (when net (insert (format fmt "net")) (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field '(net field-name)) (setq start (point)) (insert (car net) "\n") (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field '(net))))) ((eq field 'aka) (let ((aka (bbdb-record-aka record))) (when aka (insert (format fmt "AKA")) (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field '(aka field-name)) (insert (mapconcat (function identity) aka ", ") "\n") (setq start (point)) (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field '(aka))))) (t (let ((note (assoc field notes)) (indent (length (format fmt ""))) p notefun) (when note (insert (format fmt field)) (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field (list 'property note 'field-name)) (setq start (point)) (setq p (point) notefun (intern (format "bbdb-format-record-%s" field))) (if (fboundp notefun) (insert (funcall notefun (cdr note))) (insert (cdr note))) (save-excursion (save-restriction (narrow-to-region p (1- (point))) (goto-char (1+ p)) (while (search-forward "\n" nil t) (insert (make-string indent ?\ ))))) (insert "\n")) (put-text-property start (point) 'bbdb-field (list 'property note))))) (setq field-list (cdr field-list)))) (insert "\n"))))
So now, to print the BBDB entries, call 'M-x bbdb'
and provide no regexp. That lists all the entries. Then use '* t'
to toggle to the printable layout. Then use 'M-x ps-print-buffer'
to print the stuff, or or 'C-u M-x ps-print-buffer'
to save it into a PostScript file. Remember to set up PsPrint correctly.

Mind Your Business: Time to Change Pre-Production Rules
I really hate when old production standards and union and guild rules get in the way of a better process.
I don't care about old rules when something new makes production better.
My latest beef deals with animatics. New software, like Toon Boom's Storyboard Pro, has forever changed the process of previs, storyboarding and producing animatics and now unions and productions need to change with the times.
It used to be that the story artist would draw boards on paper. Someone would scan the art, someone else would separate the art into layers and add camera moves and layer moves in After Effects and then an editor would edit the elements together in an edit suite.
That's not the way we do it now with new software and it's well-past time for the rule makers to accept that no matter what they say, story artists are now editing the first pass of their own animatics.
With Storyboard Pro, the artist draws directly on a timeline and draws directly on separate layers. We build an animatic in real time as we draw.
As a board artist this is awesome! It makes me a better board artist. I can test my boards as I work and see if the scenes cut together well, if I'm missing shots and I can play with the order of shots instantly to see what plays better on the screen. As a director it's incredible. I can see the flow of the final piece while it's still in the storyboard stage and I can make better decisions and know instantly what works best.
Last year I ran into a production exec who tried to stop board artists from editing their own animatics. Tough chance. That boat has sailed. Every artist who uses Storyboard Pro is editing their own animatics no matter what anyone says.
I was down at the Digital Domain studios (remember them?) in Port St. Lucie training the board artists on using the Storyboard Pro software. Once they saw the power of the software they all took off running and loving how it worked.
One of the execs heard me talking to the artists about editing animatics. That exec pulled me into her office and told me the story artists were not allowed to edit animatics. They had an editor to do all the editing.
I told her that it was easier and faster for the board artists to edit the first pass of an animatic as it happens while they draw. Plus, only the board artist knows the timing of a gag as they are drawing it.
She told me it wasn't allowed for them to edit. I told her it didn't matter what she said, what I said or what the rules were, the board artists will take advantage of new storytelling tools, like drawing on a timeline. I told her they were already editing while we were arguing because they can. It makes them better and they want to do it. Get used to it, we are doing it.
Sure, some board artists haven't developed the perfect timing skills yet, but they will. This is a new process. And having this technology allows them to test their boards on the timeline regardless of what anyone says. Why would you try to stop that?
Are editors still needed? Absolutely. But the flow of previs is changing and producers and editors need to change with it.
The best way for an editor to work within this new paradigm is to learn to edit inside Storyboard Pro. It will take just a few minutes as the basics are the same as any non-linear edit suite. They can refine the timings already roughed in by the board artist. The entire process is faster.
The benefits of keeping the final timings within the storyboard software are great. There are two main reasons for this.
One, there are always changes. Everything moves faster since the board artist can add new shots or change drawings in the master file with the revised timings and the entire project is instantly updated. No need to go back to an earlier version, export elements, re-import and edit, yada, yada, yada. Keep it together...no muss, no fuss!

A new study suggests living closer to the equator may increase the risk for allergies and asthma.
This isn't just because of increased pollen counts, researchers theorize that greater Vitamin D production caused by UV exposure may change the immune system.
Those changes, they think, may lead to elevated risks for allergy problems. More studies are needed to confirm the link.
The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology estimates 75-85% of asthmatics also have an allergy.

Fighting Fs and absences
SPRING VALLEY — The Hall High School administration is focusing on failing students and absent students, and the connections between the two groups.
At Wednesday's school board meeting, Hall Assistant Principal Angie Carpenter presented a report on the failure data for the fall semester for the freshman class. Carpenter said of the 113 students in the class, 21 students had received one or more Fs for the semester. Carpenter said this was the same number of freshmen who received an F at the end of last year's fall semester, but that class was smaller, so the percentage of students failing dropped from 21.4 percent to 18.5 percent.
"We'd like to see a lot fewer freshmen coming in and failing," she said.

A little photo guide about how I do it You will need a classic transformer soldering iron, no less that 75W. I use this oldie one for 26 years: Some resin is need too: And a little bit of tin: And tin suction tool: ...and of course replacement caps and something with bad caps. In this case I choose very simple recap of Jaton GF2MX400 card. Of course this card is phased out and you will probably not made and 3DMark world record with it, recapped or not, but for testing or normal office use it is perfect. Thanks to it's passive heatsink and small size it is preferred graphic card, where you need just one to be. I use these cards in folding and testing machines So, let's first take a look at the card itself: As you can see, we gonna need: 1x 1000uF 6.3V d8 Samxon GC 4x 470uF 6.3V d6.3 Samxon GD 3x 10uF 25V d4 Samxon ZS Let's take a look at the original caps... ...well, it is obvious they gotta go. Asiacon is the same as Evercon and this is the same cr*p as G-Luxon... Step first - desolder with the soldering iron the caps: Every time before use the soldering iron, dip it to the resin to protect against oxidation not only the contacts, but the actual soldering iron how wire tip. Result did not look ver pretty, but caps are gone now The white or shaded (or other way highlighted) holes are typically for the negative cap polarity wires. Of course you gotta stay alert for exceptions and crazy designs, witch can swap the polarity! Sometimes it is better first take a picture of the card to have proof on how it looked before... Now come the hardest step - suck off tin from at least one of the holes. Choose the one that is isolated from the rest of the PCB. This way you heat up most only small piece of tin and PCB and hence you should be able to suck the tin off easily. Result - one hole is free. Now take the replacement cap - take care about the polarization (on some cards, such as Gigabyte FX5200/FX5600XT, it is contrariwise!). Caps has one longer leg, that is the positive wire. If you have free the positive hole, you are good to go. Insert the longer positive wire inside and the negative adjust to be pressing exactly against the tin in the not free yet hole. Apply only light pressure. If you need more pressure, shorten the wires, but leave the positive wire longer. From the bottom side heat up the tin in the negative hole and after a while (depends how big area of PCB you heating up) the cap nicely slide in place. Looks this way: If you got free the negative hole instead, then cut the positive wire of the cap in middle, so it get shorter that the negative wire and then work it out same way. Caps wires should be put thru to the end. Exception from this is only when you solder smaller or bigger spaced cap into holes that did not match. In that case - depends on how much the wires are getting dilate or closer - leave at least 3mm for the bend. Pressing too much in this case is very likely to damage almost any cap! When you have the cap in place as it should be, then cut off the remaining wires. Leave just about 1mm from them. And then with plenty of resin again solder them. Now it does not look pretty at all, right? Well, let's continue till we have every caps soldered first. Now will come the technical spirit in action. Using brush add the spirit in place where the resin is: And leave couple of seconds to take effect. You can see that the resin is breaking up and melting already. You can help big chunks get off by sharpened piece of hard wood - notably increasing the rate how the resin leave the PCB. Then first with rubber, also wetted in spirit, rub off the remains of it. Last small remaining of the resin is best to get off by brush, wetted in spirit again. The brush has to have reasonably tough strings. (image also show desoldered CE filters and coils replaced by pieces of wires) With careful clean up you can get professional looking soldering joints. And now you can only be delighted looking at how the new nice caps beautifully looking at the card. Whole look on the card with now exchanged caps. With such simple graphic card with minimum caps you can be done in like 10 minutes top. And with a little work you got the assurance it will not fail you for years and years. And now back with it to the computer PS. sometimes happens - especially with small caps, where one can heat up with big soldering wire tip both holes - that it is possible solder the cap w/o actually sucking off the tin. Sometimes this is also the only one possibility, when the tin did not want get off and you did not want to damage the PCB... In this case simply cut the legs to be same and much shorter (so you can apply more pressure), align them right to booth holes, hold and from the bottom start heating and push...
awesome guide, man! very well written and excellent pics for examples! I've done similar work before, but never that pretty!
imperialreign - thanks a lot The idea was from Bluetoth from OCW site, tough, that I should provide some guide at least how I do it. Maybe someone come with better tricks? And soldering just took some practice and time. And lot's of resin and then the cleaning, lol W/O it it never looks pretty at all infrared - thank you very much. It was just a quick work, even with the photos I was done in like 15 min or so, so... Not my best, just my best documented recap d44ve - thank you - you are welcome. Hope someone learn a bit - or come with even better ideas russianboy - I was never be able to desolder mosfets or big caps (like imput caps in PSU) with my TWO 30W solders in reasonable time, so... My friend HoNY suggest using no less that 150W soldering iron, so go figure He also suggested that when unclear, then the hole with square soldering point is always the positive hole Frogger - thank you. Well, what more? I need to get some caps first to recap things I run out of caps
Trick with dental pick The hardest part on recapping is cleaning the holes for new caps. So, there come a little trick... Yep, with this is the very same dental pick your dentist use to push on your teeths. You can buy it in medical supply shops, the only slight disadvantage is that the quality ones cost premium. But the vacuum tin sucking toy is not even recommended on BadCaps, because from heated PCB it easily can suck-off small traces, or by the back impact it tear them on the mobo. Sometimes it happen for me and certain low-quality mainboards (like JetWay V266B, Abit BX133 and so on) are very prone to this. So, at first we have holes after desoldered cap (or never soldered cap there) full of tin: So just attach the pick and reasonably push on it with one hand to stay in place (beware, it is very sharp, be carefull!): From the other side heat up the PCB with iron and soon the pick do thru the hole like hot knife thru butter and try to push it as far, as you manage with reasonably small force: Immidetelly after you reach the end, start wriggling with it to sides/up and down a bit, so it will not stuck to the tin or resin in the hole: Now the big metal chunk of this dental pick come to play - it disperse the heat perfectly, so in just a few seconds we have a free hole: Now let's repear that with the second hole, when we want to solder the cap inside easily (or he is on wrong place with bad access): Push a little and we are on the second side easily again: ...and now we have both holes free and perfect for soldering new cap in: As you can clearly see, this methos is easy, comfortable and fast. And the dental pick clean really well. Tin does not get attached on it at all and resin only very lightly. Cleaning with piece of old clothing and technical spirit is done in few seconds. The steel is very high quality, elastic a little and very hard to break. Almost impossible, I never managed it yet and I tried Comparing that to the nevereding cleaning of the vacuum tin suction tool... well, this is not comparable at all. Productivity in recapping go very much up using dental pick. Caps almost like jumping in the board Sometimes it happens that in the holes remain too much tin, that create knob around the holes, where capacitor will be soldered. Such knobs that are on the top of the PCB are easy to tear off by nail or cut off by scalpel. Soldering was made by my 75W transformator solder, using lot's of resin. Pictures are not retouched at all and I did not even clean the board before taking the pictures. Board in question is Compaq Evo D310 one (MSI 6541 v1.0), exchange 10pcs of 1000uF 6.3V G-Luxon crap caps for 13pcs 1000uF 6.3V Samxon GC caps. Board works well
First I have to agree that 75W is overkill. Second, I miss an essential part of the guide. Why would one want to replace caps? The example shows no bulging caps or anything and I see no argument for performance or whatever.
That question "Why would one want to replace caps?". Um, incase its broken so you don't need to buy a new mobo.
Dobry! Very nice guide. Excellent photos! Seriously good photos. As good as any professional stock imagery. Very nice. What camera are you using? How are you lighting it? Are you on tripod? I disagree. Speed soldering is the way to go, once you know how to do it. Having an underpowered iron, like 25W, means that it takes too long to heat up a small area. In the time it takes to hold the iron to heat the solder to melt... there is too much conduction of heat to the component, the PCB and other components. This can cause unwanted damage or heat blistering of the lacquer on the PCB. I have an iron, which i recommend, that is 25W with a 140W burst button on the handle. That way you quick-heat the tip, then apply, then done. There is nothing worse than holding an iron on a component for a long period trying to solder/desolder. Not only does it potentially cause damage to the component, if you are doing 10x or 100x of solders, it really slows progress. Notice that the yellow iron that trodas is using has a trigger on it. So it is 75W controlled "burst". Such an iron is 10x better than a fixed 25W iron.
Amazing how people never read what I write. Why do I keep bothering... Additionally it wasn't even about a mobo.
He is simply saying that he should add a few things to reasons why someone would want to replace capacitors.
I completely agree - I've only recently gotten back into soldering PCBs, and I've found even a 35/45W unit doesn't produce enough heat to liquify the solder before it starts cooking components. Although, I've found when working with small surface-mount components, 15W-25W is usually just enough, but I've been shying away from such low outputs when dealing with through-PCB headers. BTW, @trodas - excellent addition to the guide, man! I've got a set of picks in my toolbox at the shop, I don't know why I never thought to use them to clean solder out of PCB terminals! = myself
spearman914 - Thanks. Well, then depends much much wrong this is and if you discover it before powering the thing back on, or not. Usually there is not much problems. Caps are easy. Smaller SMD mounted componets with MANY legs, well, that IS the challenge. Of course this little photoguide was never meant for people that cannot solder well. If you solder something wrong, you just can clean it and solder it again and again... till you do it right. Practice on dead/worthless stuff first. DanTheBanjoman - I don't know who are you agree with, however it is clear to me you never exchanged caps on few mainboards/gfx cards or PSUs.

Stimulating video documentary on Wikipedia, knowledge sharing, truth and the role of experts
Thu, 10/04/2008 - 1:47am | by danielThe role of expert knowledge is central to a video documentary on Wikipedia's way of knowledge sharing. It features the opinions of the co-founders of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, as well as of some other major Web 2.0 players and critics, including the authors Tim O'Reilly and Andrew Keen as well as Charles Leadbeater (a former advisor to Tony Blair), Bob McHenry (former editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica) and Ndesanjo Macha, one of the first to blog in an African language and one of the major contributors to the Swahili Wikipedia (which, by the way, is about to reach the 7,000 article milestone within the next few days).
The views of these people, particularly on truth and its representation in encyclopedias, contrast quite significantly but their aggregation provides food for thought on how the future of knowledge sharing might look like. The explicitly scientific perspective was mainly missing but between the lines, it became clear that large interactively collaborative (ubuntu) projects like this might also play an increasingly important role in academic research and tertiary education.
One possible direction is a continuation and expansion of Wikipedia until saturation, other options include branching and the development of more academically inclined variants like Scholarpedia, the Encyclopedias of Earth and Cosmos as well as Citizendium (not mentioned in the documentary but in a previous post here), and there are certainly many other possible developments.
NONPROLIFERATION: Dutch Revise Policy Blocking Iranian Students

News of the Week
Dutch Revise Policy Blocking Iranian Students
Yudhijit Bhattacharjee
The Dutch government this week backed away from an antiterrorism policy that had led one university to reject applications from Iranian students and triggered a loud protest among academics. But researchers complain that the revised policy will still make it hard for Iranian scholars and students to study in the Netherlands, and they fear that such policies could spread throughout Europe.
The original policy was the government's attempt to implement a 2006 United Nations resolution that asks all nations to "prevent specialized teaching or training of Iranian nationals … [in] disciplines which would contribute to Iran's proliferation [of] sensitive nuclear activities and development of nuclear weapon delivery systems." Last fall, the Dutch education and foreign affairs ministers told all universities to exercise "vigilance" in admitting Iranian students. In December, the University of Twente in Enschede announced that it would no longer accept Iranian students because the Dutch Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) had asked for a guarantee that Iranians on campus would not gain any sensitive knowledge. Officials at the Eindhoven University of Technology said they would consult Dutch intelligence officials while considering Iranian applicants for admission.
Academics and students protested the new policy, calling it overly broad and discriminatory. Their objections were heard: This week, Twente officials said that INS has agreed to withdraw its demand for a guarantee and that the university would reopen its doors to Iranians. Robert Dekker, a foreign ministry spokesperson, says the government still intends to implement the U.N. resolution by barring Iranian students from admission to certain fields. (Students already enrolled face no such restrictions.) "The ministries and the universities are discussing which studies might fall under the resolution," Dekker told Science. The exclusion could include degree programs that are not directly related to nuclear technology but involve sensitive topics, he says.
Mehmet Aksit, a software engineering professor at Twente, wor ries that the revised policy could toughen an already restrictive visa policy toward Iranians. Although measures to stop nuclear proliferation are appropriate, Aksit says the Netherlands "should encourage intellectual exchanges with Iran."
Robbert Dijkgraaf Stands up for Iranian Students
Wed, 30/01/2008 - 11:07pm | by Khosrow-Allaf-Akbarihttp://www.english.uva.nl/news/news.cfm/697CA922-1321-B0BE-A416BFF37265A...
Robbert Dijkgraaf stands up for Iranian students
Published January 11, 2008
University Professor Robbert Dijkgraaf was cited in the NRC Handelsblad of 10 January 2008 in reference to the disquiet which has resulted from a request on the part of the Ministry of Education, Cultural Affairs and Science to Dutch universities. The Ministry requested that the universities exercise vigilance and that they prevent that students from Iran in the Netherlands come in contact with nuclear technologies.
Dijkgraaf finds it important that foreign students keep coming to the Netherlands. 'And Iranian students in particular. They have a fantastic tradition in mathematics and physics and a thriving culture. In addition, you need to make it possible for young people to come to the West and to escape a certain regime. They need to be able to acquire knowledge from our open scientific practice,' stated Dijkgraaf in the NRC. 'Not every first-year student learns atomic secrets. Education and research on nuclear issues, and in particular on nuclear weapons, are separate in the Netherlands.'

Dutch University Bans Iranian Students
Wed, 30/01/2008 - 11:03pm | by Khosrow-Allaf-AkbariRadio Netherlands
February 04, 2008
By Ruben Temming
Iranian students are not welcome at the Technical University Twente in the town of Enschede. At the request of the Education Ministry and the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the university has agreed not to admit any Iranian students. The government fears that Iranian students and workers would steal sensitive nuclear information to help their government develop nuclear weapons. The university's decision is the direct result of a 2006 UN resolution calling on member states to prevent Iran from gaining access to nuclear knowledge.
The UN has been concerned about the Iranian nuclear research programme for some time. The International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear watchdog, says there is no evidence that Iran is developing its own nuclear weapon. However, at the same time Iran is accused of not providing sufficient information on its uranium enrichment programme.
The most recent US intelligence report on Iran also concludes that there is no evidence of an Iranian nuclear arms programme, but it does accuse Iran of withholding information. Tehran insists that its enrichment programme is intended exclusively for domestic production of the fuel rods needed for a nuclear power plant currently under construction.
Twente University is allowed to admit Iranian students on condition it guarantees they will not have access to nuclear information, a guarantee the university says it is unable to give. So far, three Iranian students have been refused. Iranians who want to study psychology would also be rejected. A spokesperson says students are free to wander around the campus, and 24/7 surveillance would be impossible. Iranian students already studying at Twente will be allowed to complete their studies.
Twente is the first technical university in the Netherlands to introduce such strict measures. The Delft Technical University says it first considers the subject that the applicant wants to study. In other words, Delft does not reject Iranian students on principle. The Eindhoven Technical University refuses to comment and refers all inquiries to the foreign affairs ministry.

Okay, this is hard to put together. The holes don't line up on some parts and you MUST follow the picture (directions are difficult). HOWEVER...this is a functional and perfect piece for a child's playroom or even a family room (we leave it assembled). WHY?? There is a dry erase board on one side, chalkboard on another. There is a paper roll at the top for drawing. Many cup holdes for painting and bins at the bottom. The wood stain is NOT supposed to match evenly, it's a wood stain. It is so much better than the plastic versions and it is simply gorgeous. My son does not want to write or draw etc...This reminds him of school and he WANTS to write on it. From an OT perspective, writing upwards is good, more engaging, develops better muscles/strength in arms etc..for me, it's MOTIVATIONAL!!!

We purchased this easel for our daughter's birthday. The wood was cheap and the stain didn't match from piece to piece. The instructions are minimal. I was an hour into assembling the easel when I found a defective piece. I called customer service and was given the option to disassemble it and repackage it and ship it back. I wasn't able to have the one defective piece replaced. I took it as is and returned in the store for a full refund. I'm on the search for a better quality easel. Kidcraft is getting my money. A poor product with terrible customer!!

Up one level
At Western I'm involved in several of the clubs in the Multicultural Center and the Honors Program. Last year I was also the manager for the women's basketball team. I'm not a 'snow bunny' so I find as much to do on campus as possible to keep myself engaged. I've known that I wanted to be a math teacher since the second grade. I also want to be a basketball coach to go along with my teaching. Most of all at Western I love the dedication of my professors. So many professors I've had clearly love what they do and their passion just radiates through them. With small class sizes I am able to get the personal attention I need to succeed, from professors who know their disciplines inside and out. This fall I will take advantage of Western's National Student Exchange program to study at the University of Wyoming, all while paying in-state tuition. |

The Sagan Continuation Project: Sending Contact Messages via the Internet for FreeYOWUSA.COM/SCP The mission of the all-volunteer Sagan Continuation Project (SCP) is to continue the outbound contact efforts of astronomer Carl E. Sagan by using the Internet to repetitively beam a reply message into space via our immense network of communication satellites. The 29-word outbound Internet SCP contact message was composed by computer consultant and SCP founder, Marshall Masters. The SCP contact message is designed to use the lingua digital of the World Wide Web as the communication medium via communication signals radiating into space, beyond the many communication satellites presently serving the Internet.

Is The US Militarization of Space Behind The Chilbolton Crop Circles?
August 31, 2001:Dr. Eltjo Haselhoff — Chilbolton Crop Circles A 'Quantum Leap' In Design
This formation created a great swirl of controversy in 2001, which resulted in a floating parade of hoaxers and debunkers on our television sets and web sites, telling us that this formation was anything but genuine.
This left a cloud of doubt over the 2001 Chilbolton Reply to Sagan's 1974 Arecibo contact message, as many wondered if the 2001 Chilbolton formation was a matter of idle speculation or fact.
Or more to the point, are we still equivocating because the truth frightens us? If so, what is that truth, and what will take for us to see it?
There is an old saying that lighting never strikes twice. However, scientific studies have clearly shown that it can and does. In a similar vein, a second reply was received here on Earth to Carl Sagan's 1974 Arecibo contact message in a crop circle formation that appeared in Crabwood England on August 15, 2002.
In terms of sophistication and message content, the Crabwood formation remains the most important crop circle formation ever witnessed on Earth.
Further, the glyph of the binary disc in the formation uses the exact same binary coding sequence used by Carl Sagan's 1974 Arecibo and 1977 Voyager contact messages.
Within hours after this formation appeared, a translation of the message by 2 anonymous authors was published by the Earthfiles.com web site, and it proved to be a clear disinformation fraud designed to negate the true significance of this formation with unnecessary controversy.
During his 3-hour interview with Coast To Coast AM host George Noory in May 2003, YOWUSA.COM publisher and SCP founder Marshall Masters, explained that Earthfiles.com site was cleverly duped by disinformation operatives who cashed in the confidences they'd acquired from the site owner through the sharing of truthful (but not sensitive) information. When this formation appeared, they capitalized on this trust and were able to use the Earthfiles.com site owner as unwitting (but all too eager) broadcaster of this highly successful disinformation ploy.
Is this speculation? Consider this; the Earthfiles.com site owner has yet to reveal the names of these anonymous authors. Also, consider this; as a former member of an armed forces information office, Marshall Masters was taught early on that the difference between good disinformation and bad disinformation is that good disinformation always gets the benefit of the doubt. To this day, these 2 anonymous Earthfiles.com authors and their disinformation ploy continue to receive the benefit of the doubt.
That being said, it is also fair to point out that YOWUSA.COM was also eager to publish an accurate translation of the message contained in the 2002 Crabwood formation.
YOWUSA.COM, August 18, 2002
Crabwood Formation Offers Clear
Evidence of Contact Event
Upon close examination of the Crabwood formation, it becomes readily apparent that the four aspects of workable protocol are offered: Data structure, error checking, send complete and receive confirmation.
With the Crabwood formation, this elaborate setup scheme is most likely not used. Rather, it appears that the data is presented quickly and simply where the binary ones and zeros represent the actual black and white pixels used to form the image of the alien.
It is important to note that a final determination requires much better imagery and aggressive analysis. This is why we are making our plea that the formation not be plowed-under until it can be properly photographed.
However, in the summer of 2003, an accurate translation of the message was deciphered by computer software developer and crop circle researcher Maurice Osborn.
YOWUSA.COM, 03-May-2003, 03-July-2003
Are Extraterrestrials at Odds With Crop Circle Messages?
Using the binary numerical representation method embedded in the 1974 Arecibo message created by Drake and Sagan, Osborn performed a careful analysis of the 2002 Chilbolton glyph and translated it using ASCII code as follows:
"Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. BELIEVE. There is GOOD out there. We oppose DECEPTION. COnduit CLOSING,"
In the context of this project, the significance of the formation is that it uses a combination of the binary coding system transmitted into space by Carl Sagan in 1974 and the ASCII lingua digital of the Internet to convey the message on the disc.
In 1974, Carl Sagan transmitted a contact message into space and this message has been replied to twice in the fields of England August 2001 and August 2002.
Inspired by the fact that these 2 replies to Sagan's 1974 contact message are real, Maurice Osborn will travel to England in August of this year to create a contact message using a man-made crop circle and the message you beamed into space the very moment you accessed this web page:
We WELCOME all who RESPECT our FREE WILL. If you CHOOSE to HELP, then help us to help ourselves. There is GOOD HERE too. WE LOOK for a reply,
Maurice has also completed a new video detailing exactly how he is going to create his crop circle in England this coming August using the sophisticated computer program he wrote and shares freely with others.
If you still have any doubts that the 2002 Crabwood formation is genuine, you need to watch Maurice's latest video that details the process of using his computer program to make a crop circle. After viewing it, you'll see that it would be impossible for debunkers or hoaxers to recreate the 2002 Crabwood formation in a single evening, let alone a single month!
Most of humankind is unable to accept the possibility that we are not alone and that contact has been made because our cosmic view is limited by our own Earth-centric orthodoxies. Our monotheistic religious orthodoxies tell us that we were created by a non-corporeal God, while our funding-driven scientific orthodoxies tell us that we evolved from subordinate corporeal creatures.
As with all things, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle, and that truth could be revealed to us through species-to-species contact with one extraterrestrial race or more. A prospect that terrifies most of us, but why? It is because down deep inside each of us is something we know, sense or avoid. Perhaps is it is we, who are the aliens!
If we are truly are committed to finding the real truth of this matter, then let us go forward with Carl Sagan's insightful advice in mind:
"We wish to find the truth, no matter where it lies. But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact."
When waiting for results, let us remember that Carl Sagan sent the first digital outbound message in 1974, and it was not answered until 2001, so patience and determination are going to be the keys to success, but you never know unless you try.
Your call to duty, should you accept it, is to include the SCP contact message within your E-mails and web pages at no cost to you.
We WELCOME all who RESPECT our FREE WILL. If you CHOOSE to HELP, then help us to help ourselves. There is GOOD HERE too. WE LOOK for a reply,
Do you feel that you might be taking this too seriously and you're now tempted to bury your head in the ignorant sands of scorn. If so, keep in mind that crop circle researcher Maurice Osborn is going above and beyond the call of to duty to build crop circle in the fields of England this summer using the SCP contact message at his own expense!
For you, this step is free and only requires a modicum of effort, so please take action today by broadcasting your first SCP contact message into space with your E-mail and web pages.
Maurice Osborn is an independent crop circle and UFO researcher. His work was instrumental in bringing about the creation of The Sagan Continuation Project (SCP) by Marshall Masters of yowusa.com.
The mission of the all-volunteer SCP is to continue the outbound contact efforts of astronomer Carl E. Sagan by using the Internet to repetitively beam a reply message into space via our immense network of communication satellites. GO
New to the topic of Planet X / Nibiru and feeling a bit overwhelmed? No matter how you got to this point, what you want and need most of all, is a clear bead on what we're up against. This program gives you that with a time-saving, head start that could save you months of personal research.
Produced and narrated by Marshall Masters, publisher of Yowusa.com, this program reveals the different names for Planet X, a chronology of Planet X research from 1781 to the present and concerns about present dangers. It also offers a simple strategy for planning and preparation that can help newcomers to quickly organize using things most folks already have on-hand.
However, the most important thing to help you and your loved ones to survive this coming global cataclysm, is the very reason why you prepare. Here, the strategy in this video is simple. Do not plan against what you fear, but for what you love, because survival is not about holding onto things. It's about holding on, to each other. GO
We're seeing more two suns in the sky videos these days, but to what end?
Does the Planet X mini-constellation approaching the core of our system portend natural catastrophes plus unfriendly alien encounters alike? Could be.
This is because when the Annunaki return, it could be good news or bad news. Very, very, very bad news, that is, depending on who happens to be the current ruler of Nibiru.
The first of a series of interviews on the Anunnaki, this program offers a short and simple introduction to the topic with a focus on the events and key players who drove them and our future. GO
When it comes to beans bullets and bunkers, planning and preparation is a straightforward matter for most preppers.
Yet, survival health can be a thorny issue for a number of reasons. Limited on-hand quantities, expiration dates, lack of expertise and so forth.
In short, what can preppers do to stay healthy when all that's left is sewing needles and dental floss? You stockpile as many knowledge options as you can find, to help you and your loved ones to deal with the physical and emotional stresses of a global catastrophe.
Unlimited options you can use anytime, anywhere, and without having to dip into your supply cache. GO
The Bad News You Expect and the Good News You Need
In July 2008, a two-stage crop circle larger than three soccer fields materialized in England on a farm near Avebury, Wiltshire. Unlike more common symmetrical snowflake formations, this one evidenced a clear and unmistakable message: That in December 2012 we will see the appearance of a celestial harbinger. One that portends a global tribulation in which life as we know it will come to an end.
Fully coherent and free of exceptions, the Avebuy 2008 formation is an urgent warning from distant friends to those who get it and who want to get through it. That is why the first part of this book, "The Bad News," presents a series of more than 50 illustrations to decode this message with easy-to-follow, building-block explanations. Intended for the common man, the goal is to empower the reader and this need is great.
This is because those who survive the tribulation will live to bear witness to the single greatest die-back event in the history of our species. A pole shift as predicated by America's "sleeping prophet," Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) and it could happen as soon as 2013. When it does, it will be a time of testing that favors the meek over the wealthy and powerful. But not for reasons you might think.
If you get it and want to get through it, this is the book you've been waiting for. GO
