Our blogger box is being stuffed to the brim with goodies from the designers taking part in the current Cart Sale going on at the Wash sim and we are having a blast unpacking everything so we can share the goodness with you guys! Everything is 10L or under and the sim does get crowded at times, so if you have trouble accessing the event, just keep trying.
We've got a look at items from NBGG and R.U.Rogue this evening. NBGG has some really gorgeous skins at rock bottom prices for this event. You really can't go wrong with any of their offerings – we especially loved the darker tones in the "Beckett" style.
R.U. Rogue left us feeling a little overwhelmed at the sheer diversity of items they created for the Cart Sale. From clothing to nekko accessories to a complete mermaid outfit to a great looking metal patio, they have something to appeal to everyone.
Keep your eye on this blog space – we have a ton more to show you from the Cart Sale!

MADRID — Rafael Nadal broke John McEnroe's record of 49 straight sets won on the same surface by beating Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 6-4 in the third round of the Madrid Open on Thursday.
Nadal extended his winning streak to 50 consecutive sets on clay, eclipsing the mark McEnroe established on carpet in 1984.
"When my career is over, these are things that are going to be there for always. It's difficult to be able to win 50 sets in a row," Nadal said. "Well, it's done. It's over. Let's not talk about that anymore and let's continue on what we have ahead which is what I am concerned about."
The world No. 1's focus is trained on his next match against Dominic Thiem, a rematch of last year's final. Thiem, who outlasted Borna Coric 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4, is the last player to beat Nadal on clay at Rome last year.
"On this surface, (Thiem) is one of the most dangerous players you can face," Nadal said. "Tomorrow is a key match in the tournament."
The top-ranked Nadal, who improved to 18-1 overall on the season, has won 38 of his last 39 matches on his favored clay.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion is seeking his sixth title in Madrid after taking his trophy hauls at Monte Carlo and Barcelona to 11 apiece.

Boer War (1 October 1899 to 30 May 1902) Back to Search
About This Conflict
South Australia was still a colony, and Australia not yet a nation, when the Boer War broke out in South Africa in 1899. The colonies of Australia each provided contingents. When the war was over the colonial contingents had been merged, reflecting Australia's emergence as a nation. Its soldiers had already begun the process of forging a reputation for courage, initiative, and endurance, which would later be reinforced during the Great War.
South Australia, like the other colonies, quickly raised a force for service alongside "The Mother Country" in dealing with a revolt among the Boer farmers of the South African veldt. The Boer 'burghers' proved to be very effective irregular soldiers. Mounted on their nimble Boer ponies they were well armed, resourceful and had the attributes and bushcraft skills to make them a formidable and respected enemy, inflicting heavy casualties in early engagements against regular British infantry. They employed hit-and-run tactics and well-selected (and -defended) positions, to which the British initially had no answer. However, as it turned out, Australian colonial horsemen proved to be every bit the equal of the Boers. In fact they probably had more in common with their enemy than they did with their British allies. Skilled bushmen, excellent shots and horsemen, the colonial mounted troops quickly adapted to, and excelled at, this mobile warfare.
There is a view that the ANZAC tradition was forged on the veldt of South Africa during the 1899-1902 Boer War when Australian and New Zealand units fought side by side. Many historians think that, because this was a war before Australia became a Federation and the connection was not official unlike the situation in the First World War, it should not be considered part of the ANZAC tradition. It is true that the war began in the last years of pre-federation. However, the last contingents were raised after Federation was declared and were known as the 'Australian Commonwealth Horse' (ACH) and its members wore the title AC.
A brief history of South Australia's contingent participation is as follows:
Part of 1st Contingent, South Australian Infantry, 6 Officers, 121 Men.
Part of 2nd Contingent, South Australian Mounted Rifles, 8 Officers, 113 Men.
Part of 3rd Contingent, South Australian Bushmen's Corps, 6 Officers, 94 Men.
Part of 4th Contingent, South Australian Imperial Bushmen's Corps, 12 Officers, 218 Men.
Part of 5th Contingent, South Australian Imperial Bushmen's Corps, 22 Officers, 303 Men.
Part of 6th Contingent, South Australian Imperial Bushmen's Corps, 11 Officers 127 Men.
Part of 7th Contingent, 2nd Battalion D Company ACH 5 Officers, 116 Men.
Part of 8th Contingent, 4th Battalion C Company ACH, 5 Officers, 116 Men.
Part of 9th Contingent, 8th Battalion Company ACH, 10 Officers, 231 Men.
After Federation, South Australian contingents along with the newly titled Australian Army Medical Corps sailed to South Africa during the months of March to June 1902 and comprised the following:
Australian Commonwealth Horse (ACH) 1st Battalion
Part of 7th Contingent, 2nd Battalion ACH D Company 5 Officers, 116 Men.
Part of 8th Contingent, 4th Battalion ACH C Company, 5 Officers, 116 Men.
Part of 9th Contingent, 8th Battalion ACH Company , 10 Officers, 231 Men.
Australian Army Medical Corps
Of the combined Australian force of approximately 875 Officers and 15,500 men, South Australia contributed 85 Officers and 1,439 Men, (1524 personnel, Times History Vol. 5, App. 1).
Discrepancies as to the actual numbers of personnel from South Australia exist with respect to numbers detailed on memorials, for example:
The South African War Memorial (/explore/memorials/50) at the Corner of King William Street and North Terrace Adelaide unveiled in 1904 indicates 1531 personnel.
The plaque on the building at the Torrens Parade Ground Adelaide that was unveiled in 1936 indicates 84 Officers and 1450 Men (1534 personnel).
Of the 518 deaths (/honour_roll?campaign_id=&commit=Go&conflict_id=&date%5Bday%5D=&date%5Bmonth%5D=&date%5Byear%5D=&died_in_service%3F=true&home_town_id=&last_conflict_id=1&memorial_id=&unit_id=&utf8=%E2%9C%93) caused by action or disease, 61 were South Australians.
South Australians were awarded the following decorations:
Companion of the Bath x 3
Distinguished Service Order x
Distinguished Conduct Medal x 10
Mentioned in Despatches x 42
South Australian participation in the Boer War is infamously associated with Lieutenant Harry "The Breaker" Morant (/explore/people/50). He is believed to be the third Horseman from the left in the title photograph.

ORANGE, CA – The Cypress College softball team (27-2, 14-0 OEC) took it to the Santiago Canyon College Hawks (16-13, 6-8 OEC) in an 11-3 road victory on Wednesday afternoon. The Chargers are ranked No. 3 in the state and have an undefeated record in Orange Empire Conference play, while currently riding an 11-game winning streak.
Freshman pitcher Janea Brannen (W, 16-2) received the win, tossing her 14th complete game of the season. Brannen gave up 3 runs on 9 hits with 6 strikeouts on the day. Santiago's Danielle Stallings received the loss.
The Hawks got on the board first with an RBI single in the bottom of the second, but the Chargers answered when Brannen (3-for-5, HR, 2RBI) blasted a two-run homer to left field, giving the Chargers a 2-1 lead in the top of the third.
Santiago regained the lead after scoring two runs on a pair of RBI singles in the bottom of the third. Again, Cypress answered, tying the game on an RBI single from Amanda Campos (1-for-4, RBI).
The Chargers regained the lead, scoring three runs in the fifth. Gabrielle Munoz (2-for-2, RBI) slapped an RBI single to first base, followed by a 2 RBI double from Marissa Montesdeoca (2-for-4, 2RBI).
Infinity Laufou (1-for-4, HR, 4RBI) capped off the game with a grand slam over the center field wall to put the exclamation point on the Chargers' victory, 11-3.
Cypress softball will return to action on Friday when they travel to take on Orange Coast College at 2:00pm.

Bacolod is on the island of Negros in the Visayas region (south of Manila). It is known as the City of Smiles because of the accommodating and friendly nature of its people. It is also an apt description of how people look once they've tasted native cuisine. It is one of the most visited travel destinations in the Philippines.
Bacolod was once known for its vast sugar industry which created many affluent and influential families with paternal figure called "don". Sprawling plantation and haciendas were owned by rich sugar planters. Today, however the sugar industry has decreased substantially but has already left its mark in the development of the City as a domestic and international trading center in Visayas.
The title of "City of Smiles" is not one given lightly in a country known for its hospitality. It has certainly earned this reputation for many reasons. One, because of its resident's innate hospitality. Also because of the local dialect's tone and inflections. Most importantly because of Bacolod's reputation in satisfying one's sweet tooth. Going to Bacolod isn't merely about seeing the sights and sounds but also tasting the variety of cakes and sweet delicacies which the city is known for.
The Masskara Festival is also an excellent reason to visit the city. The Masskara Festival gives residents and visitors a perfect excuse to eat and drink to their heart's content for the duration of the festivities ensuring that you'll leave the city of smiles with a smile of your own.
Since 2005 when Bacolod hosted the 2005 Southeast Asian Games , the city has then been famous for hosting football matches in its Panaad Stadium ( a multi-purpose stadium) and is the home of the Philippine national football team, the Azkals.
How to get there
Getting to the place is easy as there are a number of daily air flights from Manila to the City of Smiles. Just remember that during The Maskara Festival in October, most flights going to the city are full. You can choose from the two carriers, Philippine Airlines or Cebu Pacific Airlines. But you can get cheap air flights if you book ahead of the peak season.
- Philippine Airlines has five flights, starting from 4AM until 6PM, and fares range from roughly P3,000 for Economy Class and P6,000 for Business Class one way. So a round trip ticket costs anywhere between P6,000 to P12,000. If you're taking PAL, you'd have to go the NAIA Terminal 3. The fares can vary according to the seasons.
- Cebu Pacific also has a number of flights daily also uses Terminal 3 and their airfares are about P2,500 for one way and about P5,000 for a round trip ticket. But just to be sure you can check the latest rates, promos and up-to-date schedules on their website.
Where to stay
There are a number of really good hotels but I'll just name three which are most recommended.
- The O-Hotel is one reputed to be one of the best in the City, the service and staff are excellent and quickly cater to the needs of the guests. O-Hotel has 53 rooms and you can choose from the Superior Room (P1,400), the Executive Rooms (P1,600), and the Suites (P3,500/P4,000/P5,000). The best suite , the Natalia Suite has a jacuzzi, just in case you'd want to unwind after a long day of walking around and eating. The rooms are all air conditioned and have hot and cold showers, cable TV, a safety deposit box, a refrigerator and come with one free breakfast buffet.
- The Business Inn is another recommended place for travelers to stay. It has all the modern amenities of a hotel including Wireless Internet. The rooms are also reasonably priced, with prices ranging from regular rooms (P1,200), Jr. and Sr. Executive rooms (P1,350/P1,550), corporate rooms to share for 3 people (P1,950.00) and the suite rooms (P3,800).
- Probably one of the most famous hotels in the city is the L'Fisher Hotel, its stylish exterior and its restaurants and cafes are the haunts of the Bacolod's elite. L'Fisher Hotel has two buildings, the rooms at the hotel proper or Tower I are a bit pricey compared to the other hotels with De Luxe Rooms at P3,500, Matrimonial Rooms at P5,000 and Suites at P12,200. The rooms are all well apportioned with all the amenities of a modern hotel and include a buffet breakfast. The L'Fisher Chalet has more affordable rooms, the budget room is P995, and the grand superior rooms are P5,000. The rooms at the Chalet include a plated breakfast.
Learn about the local cuisine of Bacolod like the Chicken Inasal including some of the recommended restaurants where you can enjoy a unique treat of Bacolod food.

New Zealand house prices have risen 3.8% in the last year but Auckland continues to be a "soft spot", new REINZ figures show.
The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand House Price Index, released today, showed Auckland house values had climbed 0.9% in the past year. For the rest of the country, with Auckland excluded, house values increased 6.7%.
The median house price for the country was a record $560,000. The three most expensive areas were Auckland City with a median of $1,010,000, North Shore City ($975,000) and Queenstown Lake District ($908,000).
REINZ trumpeted the continued strength of the housing market saying 11 of 12 regions had experienced increases in the past year with only Canterbury declining – 1.1% year-on-year decrease.
Gisborne/Hawke's Bay had the highest growth rate of 14.0%, followed by Otago and Southland with both regions seeing annual growth rates of 10.7%.
Westpac economist Satish Ranchhod said the national average was a "far cry" from the double-digit rates of price growth we saw in recent years.
"Underlying the softness in the nationwide figure has been a fall in prices in Auckland," he said.
"Prices in Auckland fell 0.3% in June (adjusting for normal seasonal variations). That's the fourth decline in as many months. Prices in the region have been tracking sideways for close to two years now, though the level remains elevated."
Ranchhod said housing market conditions had been dampened by policy changes targeting property speculation.
"The Brightline test for taxing capital gains has been extended. Restrictions on foreign buyers of property are expected to come into force sometime next month. Then from early next year, the use of negative gearing by property investors will start to be phased out.
"We expect that these measures will weigh on price growth over the coming year, and are also likely to dampen people's willingness to spend."

No. PTD/004/SP-HUMAS/III/2019
LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA, March 26, 2019 – Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Center, LLC., (AMMROC) and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) (PTDI) announced plans to potentially work together on co-production and aviation maintenance, repair, overhaul and upgrade opportunities that will open new opportunities for both companies and allow them to better support regional customers. Executives from both organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during the first day of the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition, taking place March 26-30, 2019.
The MOU was signed by Director of Technology and Development of PTDI, Gita Amperiawan and Chief Operating Officer of AMMROC, Robert Owenby. This also witnessed by President Director of PTDI, Elfien Goentoro.
"This agreement will definitely open up an opportunity to collaborate with an established leader in MRO which will give a lot of benefits to enhance skills and add experiences for both companies," said Elfien Goentoro, President Director of PTDI.
Under the MOU, the two organizations will work closely together on multiple potential projects, ranging from Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services to manufacturing, fabrication, co-production and major modification installations.
"This MOU enhances AMMROC's position in delivering world class MRO solutions in the region, significantly broadens our partner network and supports our vision for a global presence," said Robert Owenby, AMMROC Chief Operating Officer.

Have we ever stopped to consider what the purpose of life is? Most of us would answer that they exist in order to discover the answer to this question because its answers are as numerous as the number of people asking it. But why do most of us fail on this monumental quest? Is it because of the fears and limitations we enforce on our conscious and subconscious?
Modern homo-sapiens are not known to be in touch with instincts that have ensured the survival of mankind for many millennia. Today, we rely on facts and figures instead of relating to that gut-wrenching feeling of dread. We turn a blind eye to what every fiber of our being is calling for because we are too afraid to trust ourselves. This is costing us dearly because it often causes us to abandon our aspirations as we doubt the feasibility of it happening with so many obstructions when it could be what we have been born to do. It also clouds our judgment of people and situations, and we cannot see through the false images and perceptions.
We live in an age of instant gratification where we expect immediate results. This is not feasible when attempting a life-long goal of self-discovery and realization. We want everything to be done within the matter of hours or days, and we regard any attempt falling below these expectations to be faulty and useless. We need to start slowing down the hectic lifestyle we live and spend more time on ourselves. This is not a call for indulging furthermore into materialistic pleasures like having a spa day or going on some fancy spiritual vacation. What we want to achieve can be done with a cup of tea in a calm setting with ample time for self-reflection. It's time to delve deep inside of us and rekindle our basic human emotions of compassion, patience, and generosity.
Perhaps the greatest injustice we can inflict on ourselves is creating a preconceived notion of how our destiny should unfurl. We often forget that the journey itself is what brings us to our true purpose and not the other way around. We have to be open and accept all our strengths and weaknesses to be able to delve deep into our psyche and explore our depths. We all reach our destination on a different wavelength. We all do it at our own pace and with a unique set of successes and failure. Just because others flare up so early in life, it doesn't mean they will be able to sustain their glow.
Just remember that negativity and doubts will root a person in their place with no chance of growth. Let go of the load you carry around. Let go of all the fears and expectations. Brave onward to the most challenging quest that will lead us all to a place of happiness and serenity.

Valtteri Bottas takes advantage of Lewis Hamilton's crash to take pole in Brazil
Finn edges out Sebastian Vettel in qualifying after his Mercedes-GP world champion teammate hits barriers during qualifying at Sao Paulo
World champion Lewis Hamilton vowed to have "fun" in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix after a crash in qualifying realistically wrecked his hopes of winning the race in Sao Paulo.
The Briton, who sealed his fourth drivers' championship in Mexico two weeks ago, will start at the rear of the field for the 71-lap race, which begins at 8pm UAE time, after his Mercedes-GP slid off and into the barriers at Turn 6 at the Interlagos circuit on his first lap out of the pitlane at the start of the session.
Hamilton was unhurt in the incident but had to sit out the rest of the session and watch his teammate Valtteri Bottas claim his third pole position of the season as he edged out Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel by 0.038 secs as he set a new lap record of 1 minute, 08.322 seconds.
Since the grand prix returned to Interlagos in its current guise in 1990, Giancarlo Fisichella's victory for Jordan in 2003 from eighth place on the grid remains the lowest place on the grid someone has started and gone on to win.
A third career pole position for @ValtteriBottas— Formula 1 (@F1) November 11, 2017
Hamilton was optimistic though that he could still get a good finish, looking back to the 2009 race, when he drove for McLaren, where he came through from 17th to take fourth.
"I will try to have as much fun as possible tomorrow," he said. "Years ago I came from quite far behind and had a great race."
As to the crash, which came when the back end of his Mercedes stepped out on him as he exited the fast right-hander, he was phlegmatic about it.
"It is what it is," he added. "Of course it's unfortunate. I tend to just look at it as challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them makes life meaningful.
"I just need to take whatever bubble of negativity comes from that experience and move forwards and try and grow from it. Very unusual from me. It shows we are all human and things happen."
Hamilton's mistake allowed Bottas to take centre stage and boost the Finnish driver's hopes of finishing runner-up in the championship.
Bottas is 15 points behind Vettel in the championship with just Sunday's race, and the season finale, the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on November 26, remaining to be held.

Bottas has won twice already this season in Russia and Austria, but the last of those successes came in July and he has struggled to match Hamilton in the second half of the season, and second in Mexico last month was the first time since Hungary in August that he had finished ahead of the Briton in a race.
"It feels good," Bottas said of his effort to take pole, which came on his last lap of the session. "It was so close with Seb all through qualifying.
"It's a shame Lewis went out but I'm happy I could do a good job for the team.
"Avoiding mistakes will be crucial tomorrow as well as a good start. I'm really looking forward to it."
The pole gave the Mercedes team some cheer, coming after news that some of members of the team had been held and robbed at gun point as they left the circuit after practice on Friday.
There were no injuries, and the team reported watches and passports being stolen when a team van was attacked.
Hamilton, who was not involved in the incident, said on Twitter that "gun shots were fired".
He went on to criticise the event security, adding: "This happens every single year here. F1 and the teams need to do more, there's no excuse."
Some of my team were held up at gun point last night leaving the circuit here in Brazil. Gun shots fired, gun held at ones head. This is so upsetting to hear. Please say a prayer for my guys who are here as professionals today even if shaken.— Lewis Hamilton (@LewisHamilton) November 11, 2017
This happens every single year here. F1 and the teams need to do more, there's no excuse!— Lewis Hamilton (@LewisHamilton) November 11, 2017
Vettel was disappointed to miss out on pole, and believed he had been too cautious on his final lap.
"I chickened out a little bit with the brakes," the four-time world champion said.
Vettel's teammate Kimi Raikkonen was third quickest, ahead of the two Red Bull Racing cars of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo, though the latter will start down the order due to a 10-place grid penalty for parts being changed on his engine.
There was cheer for the local fans as Felipe Massa, in his last home race before he retires, was 10th fastest in his Williams as he reached the final top-10 shootout.
He had been one second quicker then teammate Lance Stroll in the first part of qualifying, with the Canadian only 18th fastest.

Tree Removals
Trees are a great way to add aesthetic appeal to your property but just like any landscaping feature, they need the correct care and maintenance. However there are times when trees reach their limit or get damaged beyond what trimming and pruning can do to help.

William "Porky" Den Hartog ---- William "Porky" Den Hartog of Eddyville began driving early in his teen years as an active member of the Eddyville Fire Department. He was a volunteer for the department for many years and was instrumental in getting the first rescue unit added to the fire department.
In 1949 straight out of high school he started driving a logging truck for Comstock saw mill and continued to drive for them into the late 1950's. While working for Comstock Porky loved to tell the story about hauling logs from the timber area of what is now Merle Hay Mall. There were two stop lights on the two lane highway in the area of A & E Dairy and the state fair grounds. A city cop had been tailing the log truck for many trips when he was loaded with logs. One time Porky decided he would stop when the light changed yellow. In doing so the trailer went up and the cop car ended up under the trailer. From then on Porky had a personal escort out of Des Moines.
Porky soon started farming and in the mid 1970's he became a school bus driver for the Eddyville Community School District. He would have four trips each day to pick up and deliver the morning kindergarten students, do the same for the afternoon group and then drive the Activity Bus at 5:30 pm. Soon he started hauling the teams to away games as well as classes going on field trips and band trips to Chicago and Kansas City. Where ever they went Porky was the lead bus; he always knew where to go. The kids knew they could count on him and his side kick, his wife Evelyn to make for a fun trip.
For 25 years Porky dedicated his days, nights and weekends to the students of Eddyville Community School District as a bus driver. The school honored him with a special ceremony when he retired. They selected him to share with the public the history of the school and community and how it had changed over the years.
Some of Porky's greatest joys came through the students. He would come home at night and say did you know this or that with a little laugh. Such as the little kindergartener that brought the daily paper on the bus and sat right behind the driver's seat and read him the paper each day. Another time a tragedy was prevented on a trip when something happened to the gear shift under the floor plate, but thank goodness another driver Gene Davis was on the bus. He got the floor plate off and sat on the floor and shifted while Porky drove. That day the kids were only a few minutes late, but they arrived safely. Safety was a priority for him and bus inspections by the Iowa State Patrol were always a pleasure to complete.
Joe Overton, band director at Eddyville Blakesburg Fremont High School in an email said, "Wow…it is awesome you are honoring Porky. He was a dear wonderful man that drove our band on many many trips. Unfortunately I have to be at the Iowa Bandmasters Convention that day. Please give my congratulations to his family. He was a truly kind and caring person that was always there for the kids. I have so many memories of him. The EBFHS band was honored to have him help us for many years."
Porky and Evelyn were blessed with twins Scott and Patricia, but had many kids and cared for each of them. As you can tell Porky impacted a lot of students with his great sense of humor and his ability to tell a good story or joke to brighten up a person's day while making riding the bus everyday enjoyable. You are also now a friend of his and remember he will always be Porky to family and friends.
With great honor we recognize Porky Den Hartog as a Hero by Example for his contribution as a school bus driver for twenty five years. Accepting in his honor and on behalf of his family is grand-daughter Ashley Conrad and grandsons Eli and Alex Conrad.

Higher Education Quality: Why Documenting Learning Matters: A Policy Statement from the National Institute for Learning Outcomes
The importance of assessing student learning in college has yet to capture the attention of policy makers or the public. Indeed, few outside the academy know what the phrase, student learning outcomes assessment, means. And yet the information outcomes assessment produces—when done well— is foundational to addressing some of the greatest challenges the country currently faces.

Mobile tablets will revolutionize higher education instruction across the academy, in some instances providing new solutions to accepted instructional limitations, in others eliminating unacknowledged hindrances, and in still others creating new challenges. Instructors at Indiana University--Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) have been using iPads for instruction, including library instruction, since the fall of 2010. An eight-member group of faculty in art, music, communication studies, tourism management, physical education, education, organizational leadership and supervision, and the University Library have pioneered the institution's use of mobile tablets, iPads, in the classroom. Chapter 9 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 48, no. 8) "Rethinking Reference and Instruction with Tablets" provides insights into how these and other disciplines are using iPads to create new transformative learning experiences. This chapter includes findings of a study on student perceptions of learning and engagement during instruction incorporating the use of iPads across disciplines.

Along with their students, faculty have become co-learners and pioneers in the classroom. With no models to work from, they have had to explore, practice, and discover the iPad's potential for expanding learning. Given the recent and rapidly growing access to a dazzling array of intellectual technologies, faculty and staff at Seton Hill, a liberal arts university focused on excellence in teaching, have seized the opportunity to experiment with and improve the learning experience. The university committed to providing iPads for all full-time faculty, student affairs and academic support service staff, and employees responsible for student recruitment, retention, and athletics. The administration believed that to fully realize the benefits from the new technologies and tools, the majority of the campus community needed to have access to them. Moreover, the entire campus would need to change approaches to and uses of technology. The program, called the Griffin Technology Advantage, had the following key objectives: (1) the creation of a teaching and learning environment that would go beyond the confines of the traditional classroom in time and space; (2) widespread use of mobile technology for instantaneous access to information; (3) deepening of critical and creative thinking through interactive teaching strategies; (4) increased student engagement in learning; and (5) decreased costs for students through the use of e-texts. The university also thought two related objectives might be achieved: enhanced campus vibrancy and increased administrative efficiencies. Key to the success of the Griffin Technology Advantage program is visionary and nimble senior leadership. Having a president who understands current students' learning styles and is willing to match university resources to meet these needs with the full use of technology is essential.

Chapter 7 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 48, no. 8) "Rethinking Reference and Instruction with Tablets" reports out the results of an original research study that investigated how a first-year undergraduate learning community at the University of Illinois made use of an iPad 2 as part of their first-year course work. The study reports on data from two instruments: 1) the students completed an online Web-based survey and 2) also shared their curricular use of the iPad 2 through focus groups. Findings show that there are curricular uses of the iPad 2, particularly for in-class use, that allow students to connect with course-specific content such as their course management site for taking online quizzes and for class outlines and other lecture material; additional course uses of the iPad 2 by students are reported.

Although many medical learners and teachers are using mobile technologies within medical education, there has been little evidence presented describing how they use mobile devices across a whole curriculum. Methods: The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) introduced a new mobile device program in 2010. Incoming undergraduate medical learners received a laptop and an iPad and learners entering year three of the four-year program received a laptop and an iPhone. A survey was sent to all learners to gather information on their use of and attitudes toward these devices. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used to analyze the data and to generate a series of themes that synthesized student behaviors, perceptions and attitudes. Results: Context and learner autonomy were found to be important factors with learners using multiple devices for different purposes and adopting strategic approaches to learning using these devices. The expectation that school-issued devices would be regularly and enthusiastically used to replace more traditional study media was not reflected in practice. Conclusions: Learners' approaches to using mobile devices are heterogeneous as is the extent to which they use them. Learners adapt their use of mobile devices to the learning cultures and contexts they find themselves in.

This article reports the findings of a study to examine the practicality and efficacy of using tablet computers in the Higher Education classroom. Students in a senior level teacher preparation class were provided with Apple iPads for 10 weeks to aid in their studies. The iPads were preloaded with selected software but students were encouraged to use them in the way that felt the most natural and beneficial to them. Results indicated that students thought that the device was most beneficial as an e-reader and a way to have instant access to information while the instructor was lecturing. They also found it to be beneficial in their clinical work in elementary school classrooms.

Bogle, A. (November 30, 2016) Too Many Mental Health Apps put Style over Substance
"We share some of our most intimate data with mental health apps, but there's surprisingly little proof of what they give us in return. Many medical experts are starting to find problematic the lack of clear science backing up apps that promise to help with everything from low mood to depression."
eBOOKS AND MULTI-TOUCH TEXTBOOKS
NEMCC (2015). NEMCC faculty save students over $125,000 on textbook costs by designing ownmulti-touch books. nemcctigers.blogspot.com
Over the summer of 2015, Faculty form Northeast Mississippi Community College took time to design their own multi-touch textbooks. Not only are the texts lower cost, they contain exactly what the faculty want them to know! This is a part of NEMCC's "The One" iPad initiative.

We examined the effectiveness of a community of practice (CoP) model for introducing tablets to 139 faculty members at a higher education institution. Using a CoP within a systems model, we used large- and small-group mentorship to foster collaboration among faculty members. Most faculty members agreed that the project was well organized and activities were useful. In terms of measurable outcomes, many participants had developed plans for or completed scholarly activities related to tablets. Our findings support the use of CoP models to integrate technology within higher education. Additionally, they support such integrations as proof of concept for large, whole-campus technology integrations.

This study evaluated the impact of iPads on students with disabilities in a Higher Education (HE) setting with a focus on: an assessment of their physical characteristics and functionality; their utility as communication devices; and the use of iPads to engage with university services. The participants, who had a range of disabilities, were provided with iPads for a period of three weeks, given basic training in their operation, and were instructed to use them freely. The participants completed an online survey and then took part in semi-structured interviews at the end of the loan period. The participants also undertook a series of short information-seeking tasks that were designed to compare the performance of laptops and tablet computers. This study should be of use to education practitioners as well as acting as a pilot for future studies aimed at investigating the provision of tablet computers to students with disabilities.

The new Ghostbusters trailer has premiered – giving us our first glimpse of Slimer.
The two-minute clip of the all-female follow up features plenty more ghosts attacking New York City, a fair few comedy moments and a lot of slime.
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, who is probably one of the best known spooky beings from the classic 1984 film, makes an appearance.
The trailer reveals that someone is making a machine that is amplifying paranormal activity in the Big Apple.
We also get a longer look at the scene where a ghoul vomits slime all over Kristen Wiig's character.
The new version of the movie stars Bridemaids actresses Melissa McCarthy and Kristen and Saturday Night Live comedians Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, replacing the original quartet of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.
The new trailer comes around two months after fans got the first sneak peek at the eagerly anticipated movie.
That first trailer failed to excite Ghostbusters fans, and it ended up being the most disliked in YouTube history.
However, trailer two seems to have got things back on track.
Of course, you can't please everyone…
Ghostbusters will be released in UK cinemas on July 15.

Here are 26 consistency quotes.
A consistent man believes in destiny, a capricious man in chance. -Benjamin Disraeli
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let your character be kept up the very end, just as it began, and so be consistent. -Horace (BC 65-8)
Look to make your course regular, that men may know beforehand what they may expect. -Francis Bacon
No well-informed person has declared a change of opinion to be inconstancy. -Cicero
The constancy of the wise is only the talent of concealing the agitation of their hearts. -Francois de la Rochefoucauld
The secret to success is constancy to purpose. -Benjamin Disraeli
The world's a scene of changes, and to be constant, in nature, is inconstancy. -Abraham Cowley (1618-1667)
There are those who would misteach us that to stick in a rut is consistency, and a virtue, and that to climb out of the rut is inconsistency, and a vice. -Mark Twain (1835-1910)
There must be consistency in direction. -W. Edwards Deming
Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body. -Aldous Huxley
We cannot remain consistent with the world save by growing inconsistent with our past selves. -Havelock Ellis (1859-1939)
What, then, is the true Gospel of consistency? Change. Who is the really consistent man? The man who changes. Since change is the law of his being, he cannot be consistent if he sticks in a rut. -Mark Twain (1835-1910)
Whoever has no fixed opinions has no constant feelings. -Joseph Joubert
With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do…. Speak what you think today in words as hard as cannon balls, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradicts everything you said today. -Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Without consistency there is no moral strength. -Owen
You accuse a woman of wavering affections, but don't blame her; she is just looking for a consistent man. -Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832)
Notice how there's two directions these consistency quotes go in?

"Ignorance is bliss until one confronts it." — C.B. Smith
Raise your hand if you're a prehospital healthcare provider who's ever had grave reservations about a particular physician, nurse or hospital network that was about to treat a patient of yours while you were in the process of transferring them from your cot to the ER bed.
If you didn't raise your hand, you either:
A. Haven't been in EMS long enough to be "in the know";
B. Don't care as long as the patient doesn't throw up in the back of your ambulance;
C. Aren't even reading the article as you just wanted to glance at the cartoon; or
D. Automatically realized that raising your hand while reading would simply make you look ridiculous.
What about a fellow EMSer or firefighter? Do you know of anyone you would never want your family to be treated by? (Note: If you currently see a medic sitting next to you raising his hand while staring at you, a reevaluation of your training or bedside manner may be in order.)
For the most part, EMS providers are fortunate enough to know who they can and can't entrust their personal and family healthcare to.
Any naïve idolizations many in our society may have about medicine will more than likely become tainted by the realities of life. I'm still amazed by some of our patients who unquestionably entrust, with reckless indifference, their lives to a medical community in which over 99,000 U.S. patients die each year from medical errors in hospitals alone.
Some are so blind to their own health that they don't even bother to take the time to inquire or educate themselves of their own homeopathic needs, much less know the medications they take.
Medic: Were you having chest pain or shortness of breath when you took your two sprays of prescription nitro?
Patient: No.
M: Why'd you take it then?
P: I felt dizzy.
M: That might explain why your wife called us after you passed out. What kind of cardiac history do you have?
P: Do I have a cardiac history?
M: Well, I assume you do based on the nitro prescription you have. Do you have a history of hypertension, angina, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure or prior heart attack?
P: I don't think so.
M: I noticed you're on home oxygen. Do you have a chronic respiratory illness, also known as COPD?
P: Don't know, but the doc said I had to have it after he put in a stunt.
M: Do you mean stent?
P: I dunno. Maybe.
M: So you do have a cardiac history.
P: If you say so.
M: My 12-lead ECG shows me you have an irregular heartbeat. Were you told you have an arrhythmia?
P: News to me. No … wait. The doc did say I have africkulationitis.
M: Atrial fibrillation?
P: I guess. I feel better now except for this damn headache. Must be from the whiskey I drank just before I took the nitro.
M: When was the last time you had a medical checkup?
P: Not sure. Probably right after the last time the ambulance drivers did VCR on me.
P: Whatever. I'm feeling dizzy again. I think I need to take that nitrusglysiren again.
I can't help but think that whoever out there believes ignorance is bliss, especially when it comes to medicine, is someday going to pass on into the next world with a really big surprised look on their face. And, if ignorance really is bliss, why then aren't there any euphoric politicians out there?
When it comes to one's own health, what you don't know really can hurt you. My parents' generation was indoctrinated to never question a physician's diagnosis and course of treatment—to do so would be an act of betrayal, potentially jeopardizing the circle of trust between themselves and their all-knowing doctor.
I've also heard patients try to rationalize their unfamiliarity with their own health history from a fatalistic perspective. "It's out of my hands anyway. Out of sight, out of mind. I just do what the doctor tells me to do."
For others, ignorance is simply a falsely justified excuse to embrace apathy and irresponsibility.
Someone once said, "Ignorance simply states, 'We do not know.' Ignorance is not stupidity until someone embraces it."
With the threat of U.S. medicine becoming overwhelmed in caring for the needs of all our citizens, I'm hoping more and more patients will begin to take on the responsibility of empowering themselves with knowledge regarding their own health care.
Many don't understand the complexities of medicine, and when the average time a doctor spends with a patient in consult is 15 minutes, there are bound to be mistakes and misunderstandings caused by not having enough time to adequately listen to what the patient is saying or by the patient feeling too intimidated or rushed.
Patients should be encouraged by EMS providers to be their own best health care advocate when in captive transit to the hospital. Medics can help empower patients by providing a brief discussion on how to appropriately ask questions of their physicians even if that requires them to be more assertive or, dare I say, ask for a second opinion.
And if the patient asks you and your partner about your qualifications to treat him, resulting in both of you simultaneously raising your hands while pointing at each other, the patient should be made to feel empowered to call for another ambulance.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Developmental Scientific Research (B)
Heave compensator is used to isolate instruments and structures, which are suspended from the floating body, from heave motion. In deepsea, heave motion detection is very difficult because the direct and realtime measurement by ultra sound and so on are impossible. In this research an active motion compensator system, which consists of accelerometer and actuator, has been developed. In this system, drift is removed by using the knowledge that average pisition of floating body stays mean water level.Firstly FIR digital filter was designed to double integrate the acceleration and remove the drift, high frequency and low frequency noise. The calculation is done numerically in a microprocessor. It became obvious during testing that the calculation of floating body position is extremely sesitive to any false fluctuation of signal, such as low-amplitude steady-state and very low frequency offsets from the true signal. With bypassed Low Pass Filter, low frequency component of noise is detected and successfully removed from the signal. This filter can detect heave motion of relatively narrow bandwidth. Simulation and experiment were performed and the function of the filter was confirmed.Secondly aiming more precise filter, another type of filter with sequential least square algorithm was developed. This algorithm enable to identify noise component without loss of realtimeness. Periodical reset is also employed to ensure the algorithm works permanently and to prevent divergence of parameters. With this algorithm heave motion is accurately detected without drift and phase delay. This algorithm also stable when initiated during the heaving. This algorithm was successfully tested by experiment with heave compensator on the servo-controlled oscillating stage.

The hot hatch is back.
Mixing exciting driving experiences, versatile interiors, and the latest technology, the new hot hatch demonstrates that you can have sensibility and driving enjoyment in one package. The hum-drum city car – stingy at the pumps but not too much fun on the road – is being left behind.
Instead, cars like the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback are rising up. Seating for five, plenty of storage with all seats up and even more with the back row folded down, and the latest and greatest safety and infotainment technology makes it a great package – and it's even better when you consider the price tag. How does it match up against established competition such as the 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT though?
Is the Toyota Corolla or the Hyundai Elantra a More Powerful Vehicle?
With a single capable engine, the real question with the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is whether you want manual or automatic. Pair the six-speed manual with the 2.0-liter engine, and you get 28 MPG city and 37 MPG highway. Go for the intelligent Continuously Variable Transmission, and you'll see 32 MPG city and 42 MPG highway. Either way, you'll be able to tap into 168 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque, plenty of zip for this lightweight car. If you're staying out here in Hamburg or Reading, the manual transmission is a purist's dream – although if you're headed into Pittsburgh, the automatic will be the better option for stop-and-go traffic.
The 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT offers two engines, with a catch. The base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine lags a little behind the Corolla in terms of power, at 161 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Not too awful, until you consider the fuel mileage – with the manual transmission, it's estimated at 23 MPG city and 31 MPG highway. The automatic isn't much better, at 24 MPG city and 32 MPG highway, or eight to ten MPG worse than the Corolla hatch. Even though the Corolla has a 13.2-gallon tank versus a 14-gallon tank in the Elantra, you'll go further per fill-up in the Corolla.
The GT does offer a high-powered turbocharged engine, but there's the catch – it'll cost thousands more than the top Corolla Hatchback trim, and that's before you start adding in creature comforts.
Does the Toyota Corolla or Hyundai Elantra GT have better Safety Features?
The streets of Bethlehem and Hazelton are generally pretty safe, but it never hurts to have technology by your side to help you avoid accidents.
When it comes to safety tech, the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is unsurpassed. Every single trim features the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 system, which features a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, including cyclist detection and improved low-light capabilities, along with Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and Road Edge Detection. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Automatic High Beams are also part of this system. All of this helps to improve safety, not just for you, but for pedestrians and other drivers on the road with you.
The 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT doesn't provide any of these safety systems as standard. In fact, save for Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Lane Change Assist, none of them are even optional on the base level. You'll have to pay up for the turbocharged Sport trim, and even then, everything that is standard in the Safety Sense system is a cost-adding option.
Is the Corolla or Elantra a more comfortable vehicle?
Inside the cabin, the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback offers impressive fit and finish throughout. You can't expect to find luxury finishes at bargain prices, but you should at least get materials that are substantial, and a layout that takes the needs of the driver and passenger into consideration. While both vehicles have a standard six-way adjustable driver seat, only the Corolla offers an optional eight-way adjustable option.
While the 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT offers a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel as an upgrade option, a leather-trimmed steering wheel is standard across the Corolla Hatchback range. The 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is also the only one of the two to offer a high-end JBL premium audio system featuring eight speakers and Clari-Fi Music Restoration Technology.
Is the 2019 Corolla or the 2019 Elantra GT a More Reliable Vehicle?
You're making a massive investment when you purchase a new vehicle. You expect it to provide reliability year after year, and you expect a good return from it when it is time to upgrade.
The 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is part of a generation of Toyota vehicles that have been rated as the most reliable on the road, year in and year out. For six straight years, Toyota has been the top non-luxury brand in Consumer Reports yearly reliability rankings. Hyundai is well down, in the middle of the pack.
Same goes for resale value. For the last two years, and for three out of the last five years, Toyota has been named the best brand for retaining resale value over their first five years by Kelley Blue Book, the definitive vehicle resale guide. In fact, Toyota has won the award more times in its history than any other brand. While Hyundai has never won it.
Which Sedan is the better buy? Corolla or Elantra?
The 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback comes through where it is most important to the car buyers in Hamburg and Reading, and around the country – value. While the 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT touts features such as dual-zone automatic temperature control, front seats, and leather seating surfaces, Hyundai holds buyers hostage by only pairing them with the more-expensive turbocharged engine, or making them part of an extraordinarily expensive option package. In fact, to match the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE's package, you'll need to opt for packages that add thousands to the Elantra GT's starting price.
For our neighbors in Hamburg and Reading, Bethlehem and Hazelton, we'd expect that you brushed the 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT off after the first two sections. After all, how useful can a vehicle be if it doesn't keep you safe, and is going to cost you a big chunk at the gas pumps? Here at Freedom Toyota of Hamburg, we want everyone in our community to feel comfortable on the road, which is why we feel the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is hard to beat when it comes to a small, fun-to-drive hatchback that offers easy cargo carrying and the latest tech features.
