Joy's Camp, Kenya
Shaba National Reserve is most definitely on the wild side of tourism. The area is private, hot, and visually stimulating on many levels. This is Kenya's most exclusive game reserve, and is situated in the dry wilds of Northern Kenya. Joy's Camp, named after author of Born Free and early conservationist, Joy Adamson, was where she released her beloved leopard, Penny. Their story has been immortalised in Joy's last book, Queen of Shaba. These works and other memories of an extraordinary life are preserved in a small museum here.
The waterhole in front of camp is a magnet for Shaba's elephant herds, buffalo and waterbuck, as well as the rare Northern endemics such as oryx, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Grevy's zebra and lesser kudu. This area provides a unique opportunity to observe some of the most fascinating species on the continent. Lion, leopard and cheetah are regular visitors to the area around Joy's Camp, and the birdlife is extremely varied – providing a vibrant natural soundtrack to your safari experience.
Joy's is a stylish oasis, where nomadic Boran tribal detail is combined with modern safari chic. Cool, white tented-bedrooms look out over sumptuous views of Shaba National Reserve. This camp is a peaceful and romantic location; perfect for guests who are looking to experience varied wildlife at their doorstep, in a stunningly beautiful setting.

Ruling on circumcision for one who has become Muslim
What is the ruling on circumcision for a new Muslim, and when should he get circumcised?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Circumcision for the new Muslim is obligatory, as it is for one is born Muslim, and he has to get circumcised when he becomes Muslim, but if delaying it could serve some interest, such as avoiding putting him off Islam, because Islam not yet established in his heart, there is nothing wrong with that, because the evil that results from delaying circumcision is less serious than the evil that results from his apostasy from Islam after becoming Muslim. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him)

On 50th Anniversary of the Pill, Poll Shows Eight in 10 Women Say Birth Control Should Be Covered by Insurers
Planned Parenthood Lauds Monumental Advances in Womens Reproductive Health, but More Work to Do
New York, N.Y. Eight out of 10 women in America say that insurance companies should be required to cover birth control pills and other forms of contraception at low or no cost, just as they must for other medications used for prevention, according to a new poll released May 6. This finding comes almost 50 years to the day after a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Advisory Committee voted to approve the use of the first birth control pill on May 9, 1960. The pill was formally approved as an oral contraceptive by the FDA on June 23, 1960.
Since the FDAs approval of the pill, the number of women who die as a result of pregnancy each year has dropped by half. During that same period, there was a threefold decline in infant deaths. The number of unplanned pregnancies has also declined. And as access to contraception has increased, the rate of abortion has decreased.
The availability of the pill has literally reshaped the lives of women, men and families across the country and around the globe, said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). This highly effective oral contraceptive enables women to plan their own futures in ways they never could before by deciding the timing and spacing of their children, as well as by being able to decide to pursue more education and employment before they start their families. This is one pill that literally changed the world and the way we live.
The survey commissioned by Planned Parenthood Federation of America found that
- Eight out of 10 women (79 percent) consider the birth control pill preventive health care, just like other preventive measures like taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as vaccines. Seven out of 10 men (68 percent) agreed that the birth control pill is preventive health care.
- Three out of four women (76 percent) said that the birth control pill is one of the most important medical advances of the last century and has had a positive impact on womens day-to-day lives.
- Three out of four people (74 percent) favor requiring insurance to cover the birth control pill and other forms of contraception at low or no cost, like they do for other preventive health care measures and medications.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will write regulations that will determine whether contraceptives, including the pill, are included as a preventive health measure under the Womens Health Amendment, sponsored by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), and included in the recently passed health care reform legislation. Under the amendment, preventive medications and measures must be covered by insurers at no or low cost.
The 50th anniversary of the pill is a great opportunity to reflect on the immeasurable impact the pill has had on womens lives, but our work to advance womens health is far from done, Richards said. Even 50 years after the pill was approved, millions of women cannot afford birth control or do not know how to use it effectively. As a result, half of all pregnancies in America are unplanned. First and foremost, all women need affordable contraceptive options regardless of their income or type of insurance, so that they can fulfill their own aspirations for themselves and their children. That's why we are committed to ensuring that under the new health care law all contraception is covered as preventive care at no cost to patients.
Planned Parenthood has long advocated for access to birth control. Its founder, Margaret Sanger, opened the nations first birth control clinic in 1916 and drove the research and development of the pill in the 1950s. After the FDA approved the pill, it was still not legal in all states, and Planned Parenthood won the case before the United States Supreme Court in 1965 that made contraception legal for married couples. In recent years, Planned Parenthood has led the effort to ensure that private insurers cover the pill and other forms of contraception, and is currently working to ensure that contraception is covered under the preventive health provisions of the new health care reform law.
One in four American women has sought health care from Planned Parenthood at least once in her life, and todays poll shows that two-thirds of women (66 percent) trust Planned Parenthood as a provider of birth control pills and other forms of contraception. Planned Parenthood sees three million patients each year in its more than 840 health centers, and provides information to millions of people through www.plannedparenthood.org, which includes a widget My Method to help women select the best forms of contraception for them.
The poll released today was designed by Lake Research Partners and administered by Caravan in an omnibus survey conducted by telephone, using professional interviewers. The survey reached a total of 1,009 adults 18 years of age and older, nationwide in the continental United States. It was conducted April 29May 2, 2010. The margin of error is +/- 3.1 percent.

FOR two weeks, undercover cops in Malaysia had their eye on a group of men with criminal links to Singapore.
They suspected these men of stealing cars in Malaysia, then shipping some of them to Singapore.
With the help of a crooked freight agent, they declared the cars as disposable diapers in the shipping log.
In a telephone interview, a Malaysian police spokesman revealed to The New Paper how they smashed the ring.
Five Malaysian men aged between 22 and 30 were arrested.
In less than three months, the syndicate had stolen and smuggled out of Malaysia 54 4WD vehicles worth an estimated RM8 million ($3.2m) in 18 containers.
Damn heavy diapers!

Tips: Wear comfortable shoes and clothes for the significant walk and trek up the hill.
We're going to start our walk in Piazza della Signoria at Cafe Rivoire (open from 8 am, closed Mondays), one of the city's oldest and most famous cafes and the perfect spot to enjoy cappuccino and a pastry or, in winter, one of their famous hot chocolates.
It's tempting to stand at the counter with the locals but I think as visitors you're more... More
Look out for the living statues that are usually here, strange human sculptures fully coated in gold or silver that are able to remain as still as a piece of Michelangelo carved marble for hours on end. Walk through the courtyard passed the people queuing for entry to the Uffizi; hopefully you've pre-booked your tickets for later in the day or... More
From here you will get your first glimpse of your final destination today, the triangular shaped, horizontal striped church of San Miniato al Monte, perched high on a hill to your left. To your right you will see the rear side of the Ponte Vecchio and the modern buildings on the opposite bank adjacent to it. The medieval buildings on both sides ... More
With the Ponte Vecchio behind us, let's walk along the narrow pavement passed the ever-growing collection of padlocks on a long metal chain. I lucchetti d'amore, they have been placed here by couples to symbolise locking in their love, toss the key in the river and hopefully they'll be locked together forever.
On a very much different note, on ... More
A little further on is Piazza Mentana with the popular Hotel Balestri.
Now we come to Ponte alle Grazie, the current bridge replaces the original (built in 1237) that was blown up in 1944. A short detour to the left will take us to the Museo Horne, a house that was the home of English art historian Herbert Horne and is now open to the public (small entry fee).
Museo Horne is a house that was the home of English art historian Herbert Horne and is now open to the public (small entry fee). In addition to a fine collection of paintings and furniture, you get a good feel for what it must have been like to live in a Renaissance palazzo, albeit one that was carefully modernised over the years, check out in... More
We cross the bridge, taking in first the great view of the Ponte Vecchio, and then cross the street (careful of the traffic) to enjoy the sweeping vistas eastwards to the distant Alpe di San di San Benedetto. The towering hillsides, often snow-capped in winter, can appear as a seductive retreat on a stifling hot summer's day. Ahead of us to our ... More
We arrive on the south bank of the Arno at Piazza de' Mozzi where, if time allows, enjoy the quiet of another small museum, the Museo Bardini which, like the Horne, is a treasure trove of privately collected works of art, furniture and musical instruments albeit in a more modern palazzo built towards the end of the 19th century.
Stroll eastwards along the narrow pavement of the Lungarno Serristori dodging between fellow pedestrians and joggers and shortly on the right we'll come to the shady gardens of the Piazza Demidoff, one of my personal favourite private corners of the city and a popular haunt of the city's dog walkers (not all of whom scoop!). The square is named... More
Cross through the gardens keeping the deep ochre facade of the hotel Silla on your right - another good option to stay next time - and the gorgeous similar coloured walls of the Palazzo Serristori on your left.
The narrow street takes you to the right passed small stores like the old-fashioned electrical shop catering for the local community. At the tee junction, turn left and immediately on your left you'll see the parish church of San Niccolò, one of so many seldom visited Florentine churches that are often architectural treasures in their own ... More
Now cross the road to Via San Miniato with the cafe/restaurant Il Rifrullo on your left, the perfect place to stop for a drink or something to eat with a pretty garden too for al fresco dining when the weather permits.
Ahead you will see a stretch of the original city walls dissected by the Porta di San Miniato. During the catastrophic floods of... More
The climb now starts in earnest but take it slowly, keeping as much as possible to the shady side of the street. You pass a pretty plant shop where the tempting array of imaginatively displayed herbs and flowers often spills out onto the pavement. Shortly, the road forks giving you two options to the summit; to the right, the narrow lane of... More
Continue up the hill until you come to the wide Viale Galileo where the almost spiritual solitude of the streets you've just enjoyed is rudely broken by the roar of tour buses and crowds of people flocking to and from Piazzale Michelangelo. It's crowded with coaches, cars and people alike plus it's a souvenir stall holder's paradise but it is... More
Piazzale Michelangelo isn't a place to linger. Take your photographs, maybe buy an ice cream and then return back the way you came before turning left up the broad stairs beneath a canopy of umbrella pines to the church of San Salvatore al Monte.
The San Salvatore al Monte is a church of simple design by Cronoca and christened by Michelangelo "la bella villanella" (pretty country maid). (Bear in mind that, at the time, this area would have been very much considered the countryside proper.) Many people tend to head straight on to San Miniato so you'll possibly have this charming... More
It's quite a climb up the steep steps that cut through the cemetery so take it easy, stopping when you want to take in the wonderful view of the city behind you. Soon you'll come out on the gravelled terrace and the gracious facade of this lovely Romanesque church will appear immediately in front of you.
You'll want to stop to recover your... More

The Surfrider Foundation may not be on the forefront of many non-surfer's minds, but chances are its mission of "protection and enjoyment of oceans, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network," has probably positivly effected on one of your favorite local beaches. The 25-year-old organization grew out of concern for one specific break, First Point in Malibu, but has gone on to help sway and guide political opinion, protect beaches from destruction and pollution, not just to keep the surf up, but to save the entirety of the ecosystem—think of waves as a flagship species, the umbrella effect saves all around, above and beneath.
Through grassroots efforts, local meet-ups and events, Surfrider chapters have been a powerful and effective international force, helping improve water quality, encouraging the use of reusable and recycled material—namely weaning off of plastic grocery bags and bottles—fight for public beach access, promote and educate the public on "ocean friendly gardens" to help stem urban runoff, as well as outreach and educational programs proselytizing the plight of the world's oceans as they currently stand. And this is just a brief, very brief, overview of what Surfrider's mission and goals; each chapter is fighting for protection on local and regional levels, creating a web interconnective conservation efforts .
For nine years, Surfrider has rallied its tight-nit community for International Surfing Day, held each June 20. More than 200 events in more than 30 countries take part—some chapters have infinitely better waves—and though the surf does not usually comply with us down here in South Florida, the Palm Beach County chapter still gets in on the action, organizing beach cleanups, awareness campaigns, barbecues and fundraisers, all in order to celebrate surfing and the ocean. This year, a slew of events are planned for the north county area, starting with beach cleanup at Marcinski from 12-2 p.m. Ocean Magic Surf Shop in Jupiter will then bring the thunder with an open house party from 5-7 p.m. with vendors, live DJ, raffles and giveaways, followed by an after party at Maxi's Lineup with an acoustic set by Bryan from Bear in Mind and Mike from Mike Mineo from 7-10 p.m.

Are you talking about a personal project for your portfolio? If so, you should be more concerned with what skills of yours wish to showcase. Do you wish to showcase character design? creatures? Environments, etc? Be careful not to get carried away and concern yourself with creating a magnum opus that's too large, vague and unwieldy to ever articulate into finished work. Write up a clear setting and write the various briefs for environments, characters, creatures and props you want to design. Treat it like a job and tackle it in a way that is manageable.
Concept -> Planning/articulation of goals -> production. If you find yourself jumping back and forth between those steps, your criteria has probably become too vague and idealized to ever realistically satisfy.

I've done my fair share of world building but mostly as a writer, not an artist. Still, I find that N D Hill has a strong point: focus on a clear setting. World building can be huuuuge - how far do you want to go? Do you want to develop the past 3000 years of your world's history and cultural development? Do you want to know about the entire planet or universe or just about an area of a few miles, a single country, a continent? Be very clear on how far you want to extend your focus.
For me, personally, I was always guided by a story and by its characters: I focused on developing those aspects that would show up in the story or be relevant to it, such as places the characters would travel to or that have a particular cultural relevance and are thus explained in greater detail. Maybe a similar approach would help you too, seeing that it gives you a spatial and temporal limit. (And you can always reference other places/epochs too, if you want to round it out.) Doesn't mean that you have to write a big story but knowing some "real people" from that world is, in my opinion, essential to good world-building because they are the ones who are shaped by the world and whose ancestors have shaped the world. (Unless it's a planet of jungles with only dinosaurs in it.) The people and the world are intricately related!

What i mean is that for example the book of James gurney. Does he create a floor Plan for the entire world of dinotopia? like the buildings? or just sections of it?
You don't actually have to make up all that much at once. It's really a matter of having a good organization system for whatever details you have established, so that whenever you do make something up later, you have a way of readily ensuring that it is consistent with what you set down previously. I recommend downloading something like KeyNote ( freeware: http://keynote.prv.pl ), or something similar to organize your world bible/encyclopedia.

There is no one way to 'correctly' go about it but just start. It doesn't matter where or what you start with, but just start. Begin small and build it up and ask yourself questions like "what sort of animal would live in this swamp?" then answer it by researching real world stuff and creating something new. Write notes. Create mythologies. Go as detailed as you want. Stay a vague as you want, but always learn from real world entities. When you learn from real life, and implement touches from what you have learnt in your own designs, it will add realism and believability.
With James Gurney, he probably had a big interest in dinosaurs growing up. This interest was probably coupled with a number of other visual interests and he probably started with one painting of an idea. Then thought, "what if..." and kept going from there until he got to a point where he had enough pieces to realise a world was forming in front of him.
This is how I started with my own world building projects. I asked myself a load of 'what ifs' and just drew the result. Over the course of 6 years, I have loads of note books full of ideas, rough maps of towns and lots of animals. Why do I have all these notes? The idea was to create a world to set a bunch of novels in, but I got hooked on the world creating aspect that I doubt I'll do any novels. I just started my second world building project called Oni World.
Unlike my first (which is still on going and set in a fantasy world with cities, animals and different races, magics and all that), Oni World is purely a character and creature orientated affair. So with my first project, a lot more detail and focus is one how the world looks, how it works and its history and the pieces I create are more 'concept arty.' Oni World is just pieces of weirdo characters that I love to draw.
So, what you waiting for? Get creating and start posting!
Actually, James painted several Dinotopia scenes even before there was a Dinotopia. He sold them as fine art prints. Later he wrote the story and designed the island. Usually, you should start with a high concept of what you want your world for and what type of world it is and go from there.
For the longest time, Magic:the Gathering had no world building to speak of. It didn't stop it from being a massive hit. So not all products need world building.
It totally depends on what you're doing. If you're writing a story in which the structure of the world is going to be crucial to the story (like, say, Dune,) then you'd probably want to do a fair bit of planning in advance, at least enough to make sure you don't have gaps in your story logic.
On the other hand if the world is more open-ended (like, say, Oz,) then you can easily dive into the story with very little world planning and fill in detail as you go along.
And it depends how you like to work, of course. Tolkein started out by making up a language and then built a whole world and mythology to back it up, and then spun stories off of that. Conversely, when Terry Pratchett started writing Discworld stories, he insisted he didn't want a map because he wanted to leave his world open to his own and the reader's imagination... But then over time the Discworld kind of built itself and solidified, so now there have been any number of official maps and guides. This happens.
I know for me, it really depends on the story. With my current webcomic, I did some advance planning to sort out the basic rules and principles governing the world of the comic, but due to the nature of that particular world and story, a vast amount is left open-ended for me to build on in the future. (And there are practical story reasons why that particular world is un-mappable.) With stories of a less fluid and more fixed nature, I'm inclined to do more planning in advance (while leaving room for fine-tuning as I develop the story.) But that's just me. Everyone has their own approach.
Floor plan is easy or not, depend on how far and how carefully you design it, as in architecture, done with floor plan and it's pretty much almost there.
My experience would be reading lots of book at first, they will fuel you with imaginations, after that, try to build it as an architect, design from the largest scale to the smallest one, think about the timeline and general environment and settings at first.

Hardcore, know the score. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a sexy uber-capable track bike that works on the road too. It caught the 600 race rep class napping and nothing came close until Suzuki launched its 2001 GSX-R600 – that's a long time to rule the 600 roost and shows just how good the original Yamaha YZF-R6 was.

Series: Intelligent Design and Common Ancestry (3 entries)
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
A few months ago Zondervan published the anthology Four Views on the Historical Adam. This valuable new resource addresses one of the most common questions Christians have about evolution: how does the Adam of the Bible fit with the scientific and historical evidence about early humans?
Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."
The upshot of all this is that, for the Christian, creator and created are not the same thing. And, more importantly, what is created is fully dependent upon its creator. The cosmos is not ontologically independent.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Theological ideas about divine freedom and human reason were important reasons for adopting an intellectually modest, empirical approach to nature during the Scientific Revolution. The common picture of ongoing, inevitable conflict between science and religion is not only false, but perverse, for it prevents us from seeing the kinds of deep connections [between the two].
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
People who believe in miracles usually don't think of them as God's "breaking" the laws of nature but as God's being constantly attentive to his cosmos.
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!

Students considering study in the College of Agriculture and Home Economics at Tennessee Technological University now have some excellent guidance to help them with those demanding issues: other students in the program.
Eight of the college's top students have been selected as "AG/HEC Ambassadors." The students will serve as official representatives of the university at campus functions, off-campus presentations and during visits by prospective students and parents. They also will serve as role models to other Tennessee Tech agriculture and home economics students, participate in telephone campaigns and contribute as members of a team that strives to advance the college.
Still, it is in assisting freshmen and high school students that the ambassadors are expected to excel since few are better positioned to give thoughtful advice and perspective on agriculture and home economics study than men and women already in the programs. The fact that the ambassadors are close in age to prospective students and often from the same hometowns or regions enhances their effectiveness in sharing information and fielding questions, said Don Elkins, dean of Agriculture and Home Economics.
"We see this program as an excellent means of recruiting many more high-quality students to our agricultural and home economics programs," Elkins said. "It will also enhance our visibility and image on campus, in the community and ultimately throughout the state. Our ambassadors offer instant credibility with prospective students."
Jamestown's Andrea Lea Clark believes her role as ambassador is an opportunity to enlighten others about the vital role home economics and agriculture play in everyone's life.
"I grew up seeing and hearing all about my family's chicken processing plant and learned first hand how essential agriculture really is. Agriculture paid for the shirt on my back, the food on the table and my education. With this passion and my love for dietetics, I'm eager to talk about our programs of study with high school students, visitors and alumni."
Information Clark intends to share with prospective students includes details about the four concentrations offered by the School of Home Economics, which includes Clark's area of food, nutrition and dietetics, as well as housing and design, merchandising and design, and home economics education.
"Flexibility and versatility describe the home economics program at Tennessee Tech," says the program's interim director, Sue Bailey, professor of home economics. "It's flexible because students may tailor their studies to address the specific area or areas within home economics that they prefer. It's versatile because students are prepared for many diverse employment opportunities. The experiences the students encounter, whether in our newly renovated and equipped laboratories or in off-campus assignments, such as senior internships, combine with activities in the classroom to give our graduates a comparative advantage in the job market."
And that market, Bailey adds, looks very good for graduates in the coming years. "Predictions based on home economics graduation rates and job opportunities for home economists show a shortage of graduates," Bailey said. "We want to attract students to our program and believe the AG/HEC Ambassadors are vital in our recruitment efforts."
As pre-veterinary medicine major Meggan Toohey is quick to point out, excellent opportunities also await students who pursue majors in Tennessee Tech's School of Agriculture.
"I've enjoyed a great deal of personal attention by staff and faculty in the college," Toohey said. "Serving as ambassador is my opportunity to bring other students here to enjoy this same attention. Not only can I tell them about the people in the School of Agriculture, but I can also discuss the extremely diverse concentrations in agriculture that stretch from animals to plants to soil and even to engines. And I can discuss the opportunities in the field."
According to Ben Byler, director of the School of Agriculture, there's much to talk about. Since 1987, enrollment in the school has outpaced the national average, increasing by a whopping 81 percent. Enrollment this fall is up 10 percent over last year.
"There are more opportunities for agriculture graduates now than in many years," Byler said. "The reason for this is the diversity of career paths in agriculture and the diversity of our program in preparing students for solid careers."
Agriculture students at Tennessee Tech choose from eight concentrations, ranging from agribusiness management to agronomy and environmental agriscience. Students also may pursue pre-professional programs in forestry and veterinary medicine. Significant laboratory and field experiences, personal attention from faculty and the resources of the university's W. Clyde Hyder-Tommy Burks Agricultural Pavilion combine to give students the tools and understanding to excel in their careers.

Washington, DC (April 26, 2013) – The Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Program – one of 400 scholarships administered by UNCF(United Negro College Fund), the nation's largest and most effective minority education organization – announced today the selection of this year's cohort of 1,000 new students. The GMS Program will award the Class of 2013 Gates Millennium Scholars good-through-graduation scholarships which can be used to pursue degrees in any undergraduate major at the accredited college or university of the recipients' choice.
"Today more than ever it is important that our young people get the education they need, and that we need them to have in order to remain competitive in the 21st century. For the 20,000 young men and women who will attend college as Gates Millennium Scholars, the financial support, leadership training, mentoring and academic and social support they receive will enable them to become college graduates and our next generation of leaders," said Michael L. Lomax, Ph.D., president and CEO, UNCF. "We are grateful for The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's support of the Gates Millennium Scholars Program because it is not only an investment in the futures of these students, but also in the country's economic and social strength and competitiveness ."
Established in 1999 with the goal of developing Leaders for America's Future™, the UNCF Gates Millennium Scholars Program is funded by a $1.6 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The GMS Program is removing barriers to education for 20,000 high-performing, low-income students. Each year it enables 5,000 students to attend and graduate from 800 of the most selective private and public schools in the country, including Ivy League colleges, flagship state universities, UNCF member institutions and other minority serving institutions.
UNCF has partnered with the American Indian Graduate Center Scholars (AIGCS), the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) and the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APAISF) to select and provide service to Gates Millennium Scholars.
The GMS Program provides recipients with leadership development opportunities, mentoring, academic and social support as well as financial support. The Program is known for its recipients' high graduation rates – a six-year rate of more than 86 percent (38 percent higher than the national graduation rates for all students) and comparable to the rates for students from high-income families. This year's cohort represents 46 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories.
About GMS
The Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Program, funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was established in 1999 to provide outstanding low income African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian Pacific Islander American, and Hispanic American students with an opportunity to complete an undergraduate college education in any discipline they choose. Continuing Gates Scholars may request funding for a graduate degree program in one of the following discipline areas: computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health or science. The goal of GMS is to promote academic excellence by providing thousands of outstanding students, who have significant financial need, the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Negative Experience
Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 months - interviewed at Sponsors For Educational Opportunity in February 2013.
Interview Details SEO recruits heavily on campus so it was quite simple to acquire a first round interview. First round was in-person and was fairly easy mostly ask about your resume and why you are the correct choice for SEO. The hardest question was a business case type question where they make you read a WST article. I was offered a second round interview with the head of the consulting division from their HQ in NYC over Skype. This wasn't really an interview because she informed me that I was unable to be in the recruiting process with SEO and another consulting company that I had already had a final round interview with. I wasn't extended an offer with that consulting firm and I informed the NYC office of such and the basically said "OK, thanks for telling us". Then I waited almost a month and a half before they let me know that I wouldn't be offered by SEO.
Interview Question – They give you an article from WST and they ask you to read and analyze it. Afterwords they ask you some simple math questions to calculate something relevant to the article. Similar to a business case question. View Answer

Digital Art, artists and art
Digital art most commonly refers to art created on a computer in digital form. In an expanded sense, "digital art" is a term applied to contemporary art that uses the methods of mass production or digital media. The impact of digital technology has transformed activities such as drawing, painting and sculpture and music art, while new forms, such as net art, digital installation art, and virtual reality, have become recognized artistic practices. Digital art can be purely computer-generated or taken from other sources, such as a scanned photograph or an image drawn using vector graphics software. Before the camera, the role of artists was to depict the real world. Art changed in the way it was used or the subjects it showed, but each time it was a 'window into the real world'. When the camera was invented, artists realized that it was no longer important to portray the real world, and their role could be redefined. They started to express their imagination in different ways and to show something that is not real – something abstract. Abstract art can be considered a major step in the evolution of art and it started with the invention of new technology – the camera. With the creation of the computer and its use in art, we are now looking at the next major step in the evolution of art. With the use of the computer, artists can create something that was never possible. The way art is defined itself is changing.

There are a variety of reasons why all e-commerce and professional websites should consider hiring a link building expert. Link building plays a very important role in a successful online marketing campaign. Building links to your site is one of the best ways to improve your search engine positions, however if done incorrectly it can destroy a site's rankings. A link building expert concentrates on acquiring relevant inbound backlinks pointing to your site from other websites. Although link building sounds simple enough, it is extremely difficult and time consuming. This is because of how Google sorts out and measures the value of links.
Most link building "experts" and SEO companies only acquire directory and reciprocal links. However, even when done correctly, directory and reciprocal links alone will not fulfill the full potential of a competitive and robust link building campaign. Self optimizers, inexperienced SEO's and business owners usually do the poorest job of link building, simply because they have just enough knowledge to mess things up. Far too often we've witnessed amateur link builders erase high rankings and bury good websites by submitting them to the wrong directories or associating clients' sites with 'bad neighborhoods'.
We create natural backlink profiles and use strategies far beyond the traditional linking methods other link building specialists provide. As Google continues to figure out ways to find real and relevant links, it is our job to continue to understand all of the major search engines' algorithms & identify which links count. We will create a variety of valuable links pointing back to your website utilizing the most innovative white-hat linking strategies, while still abiding by the search engines' best practices.
- We create link building campaigns aimed to help websites rank high for keywords
- We create link building strategies aimed to drive more traffic to your website
- Our link building packages & programs cover all aspects of link popularity & development.
Professional Link Building Services
Search engine results are based on 2 underlying factors; relevance and popularity. In order to achieve top search engine results, a website must build popularity through backlinks (links on other websites that point back to your site). Our expert link building services will help your site gain higher search engine rankings, increase page rank, enhance the site's trust ranking and most importantly drive potential end customers. You need search engine optimization experts that understand the majority of Google's ranking factors. SEO by the Hour drives PageRank™ to sites by placing links on pages with higher PageRank™. However, we perform this process naturally so that you'll automatically achieve better placement than your competitors.
Our objective is to make your website visible to potential customers through links that will generate traffic and your online visibility. After all, what if there were no search engines? How would people find your site?

Butcher of the Somme or hero of Amiens?
In the spring and summer of 1918, Allied forces came under dangerously sustained attack from the Germans. Commanders were not confident of their ability to defend against this assault but the line did hold. In July, the Allies counter-attacked and for the first time in the conflict began to push the Germans back. On 8 August they won a significant victory at Amiens and the Germans were forced to retreat to the Hindenberg Line, a well-defended trench system established in 1917. By 3 October the German High Command were requesting an armistice and this famously came into effect at 11am on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, 1918.
Historians agree that the major victories in the last 'hundred days' were mainly won by Field Marshall Haig and the British Army. But Haig's final victory presents the historian with a problem. The British High Command during the First World War is traditionally seen as totally incompetent. But if Haig and his generals were so inadequate, how did they manage to win the war?
