Sixty-five to seventy years ago, an entire generation of young, virile men and strapping naive boys would forgo the futures they were planning for to join the fight against tyranny around the world. With full knowledge of the odds and penalties, they would lay down upon the roulette table of all-out war a wager that would represent all the days of their lives not yet lived - possibly 70 years more, 24,000 sunsets, love, children and grandchildren. The stakes were supreme and many would lose this terrible gamble, forfeiting their lives, their limbs or their souls as payment. For those who found themselves still standing at the end of the war, the price was still high - the best an airman could do was to get his stake back.
For the most important and wholesome years of their lives, they faced unimaginable stress, deprivation, disease, homesickness and the acidic destruction that fear and loneliness brings to the body and soul. Some survivors came home whole, many came home weakened, aimless and broken.
Most men recovered from their nightmares, faced down the new reality of peace and their place in it and went on to resume their lives, to create children, opportunities and in time to distance themselves from the waste of those years.
Since those terrible days, the three generations spawned by the returning airmen, sailors and soldiers have also distanced themselves in an unintentional way. The years have passed, the days of remembrance whittled down to one cold morning a year, the interest faded, the heroes lost to memory. Now, as the last of these men, the strong and healthy ones, reach their ninetieth year, we have very little time to tell these men how much we appreciate the risks they took back then to give us the life and freedom we enjoy. Very little time.
I have done a lot of thinking about these men, about how much I owe them, about how much I enjoy their company and about what I can do to tell them so. There is very little one can do, because they do not ask for anything other than respect and to make good the world they sacrificed so much to give us.
There is no better gift to give one of these old gentleman warriors than a rendezvous with the best memories of their own history. Each and every pilot from that era looks back on his flying days with a powerful fondness. One of the greatest joys of being part of Vintage Wings of Canada, on par with watching the great warbirds flying, is being present when one of these men walks into the hangar for the first time and beholds a collection of exotically beautiful machines that were the consuming focus of the best years of his young life. It is like watching an older man come upon the young and beautiful woman he once loved in his passionate youth to find she has not changed one iota in sixty years. It is a breath-taking moment when a veteran sees that the love of his life is even more beautiful than he had remembered her. The look on their faces is one of rekindled passion.
But what if you could give them more than just a glimpse of their past? What if you could get them back in the air and put a control column in their hand again? What if you gave them wings? The new Vintage Wings Member Ride Program is the answer.
During the recent Wings over Gatineau Air Show, I had the opportunity to pay back in a small way one of my good friends, former 602 City of Glasgow Squadron Spitfire pilot Flight Sergeant Harry Hannah. Harry was shot down over France in 1943 and spent the next two years as a POW. One full year of that time was spent in solitary confinement for his part in a failed escape plan. Harry was tried in a Wermacht military court, given a military lawyer and sentenced to 3 years hard labour. His lawyer spoke eloquently on his behalf at the trial in Dresden and had the sentence reduced to one year in solitary - the 3 year hard labour being essentially a death sentence. While in Dresden, Harry witnessed the terrible immolation of the city by RAF Lancasters.
Harry Hannah is an elegant man, not given to loud words, rude jokes, boasting or actions that would hint at bad taste. He carries himself with a quiet grace, a straight back, and twinkling, constant blue eyes. There is something about Harry's eyes that I haven't yet pinpointed. There is contentment and laughter in them. They seem to look out upon the world from a quite place, a place Harry has truly earned. Harry is a gentleman in the true meaning of the word. He speaks well of every man, or should they not deserve it, he speaks very little of them. Harry is the very picture of a Scottish gentleman - with all its attendant qualities - a wry wit, a proud bearing, a reserved manner, an elegant sartorial sense and a way with the lady folk.
His history is one from the pages of a movie script, yet he will tell his story only if cajoled and questioned and entreated by an enthusiastic aviation nut like me. The movie of Harry's life would blend the scripts from Captains of the Clouds, The Battle of Britain, Reach for the Sky, The Great Escape, and Slaughterhouse Five.
He is still the quintessential fighter pilot and I wanted to pay him back for what he did for me and my family before I was even born.
As a member of Vintage Wings of Canada, I was able to sponsor the flight of the Tiger Moth as it prepared for the next day's air show and I or anyone of my choosing could fill the front cockpit for free. Harry was more than willing to hop into the vacant spot and go dancing in the skies over Gatineau and downtown Ottawa. I sponsored two back to back 20 minute flights, but pilot Blake Reid was aloft for almost an hour getting in as much time as possible while the conditions were perfect.
In addition to Harry's flight, Vintage Wings of Canada member Frank Waywell also sponsored a flight in the P-40 Kittyhawk. This is the same type he was in over North Africa when his engine packed in during a stafing run in 1943. He too was captured (by the Italians) and strangely enough he spent two years as a POW with many months in the same POW camp (Stalag Luft 4B) as Harry Hannah and never met him. Perhaps it was because Harry was in solitary. For more on Frank's personal story we direct you to a story we did last year.
Both men met over golf many, many years later and are members of the Oakville Golf Club.
If you have a father, grandfather or uncle that was an airman during the Second World War, the greatest gift you can give them if they are still alive and healthy today, is a flight in one of our warbirds. Trust me on that one. But if your beloved airman has passed away and you want to feel a little bit of his experiences during the war, become a member, sponsor a flight and go for a ride for free. All you have to do is become a member of Vintage Wings.
Enough talk... let's take a look at the flights of these two heroes and judge for yourselves how much it meant to them and their families.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hannah of Oakville, Ontario pose with Harry's Tiger Moth mount for the evening's flight. For veterans and aviators of any stripe, the "trip of a lifetime" can be an exciting and enduring experience. This goes for all members of the family and attendant friends. Though surely Harry's "trip of a lifetime" was the time, in his Spitfire, that he turned back over France to help out a formation of B-25s in trouble and found his cockpit shot to pieces and his aiplane in a death spiral. This evening's flight was to be a pure pleasure. Photo by Peter Handley

The perfect evening. With light wing loading, the Tiger Moth can be a frisky bird in thermals and low level turbulence. But tonight, the Gypsy Major would run like a joyful spirit and the yellow wings would be drawn through the smooth air as if they were not flying at all. Photo by Peter Handley

Picture it – you're making breakthroughs in your fitness goals, seeing sexy muscle tone, feeling the positive effects of all your hard work… And then?
Then one day you decide not to workout. After all, you've been dedicated and faithful in your eating and workout routine. So you skip a day. One day turns into a week and before you know it, you've fallen completely away from your healthy lifestyle you were working to hard to maintain.
Fact: A day off from working out isn't going to kill you.
You don't have to feel guilty either. However, when you begin to make excuses for taking multiple days off and becuase you can't keep your workout schedule – you may need to check your motivations. Figuring out if you're just taking a day off or if that one day is the beginning of a steady decline in your fitness regimen is a crucial key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Have you made this workout excuses?
You can't workout because:
- You have new commitments in life and your time is limited…
- Your job/family/hobbies/school work is demanding more of your time than ever before…
- You have an injury and you don't want to do too much while recovering…
- The holidays (or vacation) are coming up and you just want to relax…
You can probably think of hundreds of legitimate reasons to skip a day here and there. Ok, that's fine, but don't let those reasons become the excuses you use to stop working out regularly. An injury is a legitimate reason that you may have to change or drastically reduce the type of workouts you can do, however, when you have the help of professional fitness trainers, like the ones here at Bootique Fitness, then you have no excuse to stop your fitness routine. In fact, the Bootique Fitness trainers can help you through most any situation that may become an excuse to stop working out: physical, emotional or other…
If being healthy and fit is important to you, then you will do what it takes in order to see it through. When you are tempted to skip a workout for a marginal reason, think about your fitness goals, the progress you've made and whether or not one day can sustain the lifestyle you're trying to build. Again, legitimate reasons may sideline you, but if you're serious about your health, speaking to one of our professional fitness trainers (and your Doctor of course) about what you can safely do with your injury will help you maintain some of your progress.
Excuse 1 for missing workouts – healing from an injury
If you have an upper body injury, you can still do lower body workouts. And, lower body workouts are best for fat loss and its metabolism boosting qualities. And, if you have a lower body injury, your upper body is still available to be strengthened and toned. When I was sidelined after my foot surgery, I continued to work my upper body. Sitting on the floor with my foot elevated and my resistance bands in hand, I still managed to get a good workout. You can ask Fauntelle and Sarah. They came over to workout with me a few times and were surprised when they found themselves sore after doing a workout with me while I was injured.
Excuse 2 for missing workouts – too busy
If you find that you're becoming more busy with work, family or other commitments, make a schedule that includes working out. If it's on the schedule, then you will automatically make time to do it. Don't believe me? Think back to something else you never thought you would have time to do… going to school, taking the kids to practice, joining a book club… but you found time. If it's important, you can always make time for it.
Being fit is a great way to keep up with all of the new commitments you may be experiencing. On the contrary, skipping workouts will make it harder to function at a high level throughout the day. You'll find that you have more energy when you maintain a healthy fitness routine as opposed to when you don't.
It's easy to be relaxed when you have seen some results for all your hard work and you feel that you deserve a little slack. We all feel that way. But, remember your goals and stick with them. You'll be glad you didn't allow yourself to get into the fitness trap of "one day too many" off. And if you really need that day off, take it, enjoy it and then come right back to boot camp class re-energized and ready to kick butt!

|Abstract :
|In this paper, we investigate the effect of channel estimation (CE) error on the performances for the ultra-dense small cell networks. Specifically, we examine its effect on the distribution of signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and trend of spectral efficiency (SE), and outage probability.
From these, we found out that the SINR degradation due to the CE errors becomes larger, as the density ratio of small base station (BS) to UE increases. We derived the theoretical lower bound of the outage probability, which is the function of CE correlation coefficient. Finally, numerical results demonstrate that the CE errors diminish the increasing scaling of SE, as the small BS density increases.

Fifteen-year-old embodies the term "student of the sport."
by Kim F. Miller
Horseracing was Trent McGee's first addiction. At 6, his dad took him to the Santa Anita Racetrack where, "I fell in love with the horses," the 15-year-old recounts. "They were so amazing and I immediately wanted to do that." Weekend trips back to the track were a frequent family outing after that.
For his seventh birthday, Jason and Dolores McGee arranged riding lessons for their son. They started at the Traditional Equitation School at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, where instructor Caitlin Steimle suggested Trent check out a Grand Prix competition at the facility to "see if you like it."
Trent liked it. A lot.
"My first memory of the sport was watching Richard Spooner and Cristallo and thinking, 'Who is that?' and 'What is he doing?' And I loved it." At 9, Trent knew exactly what he wanted to be when he grew up: a Grand Prix rider. He's been laser-focused ever since, currently tackling the 1.2M jumpers with his partner in progress: the coming-7 year old Dutch Warmblood, Garfield.
Back at that pivotal Grand Prix, Richard Spooner wasn't the winner in a field that included Rich Fellers, Susie Hutchison and the eventual victor, Ashlee Bond. But he did win a lifelong fan. Posters of Richard and his first star horse, Robinson, line Trent's room and the "master of faster" has been an idol ever since. Right up there with Zenyatta and the mare's jockey Mike Smith.
So it was pretty cool to ride with Richard in the USHJA Emerging Jumper Athlete Gold Star Clinic at HITS Coachella in January. Trent qualified for a spot in the four-day clinic by medaling in the Zone 10 Jumper Championships held in November. Driven by his own curiosity and passion for horsemanship, he is a true student of the sport. He's an avid reader, watcher of show jumping videos and live competitions and has already ridden in more clinics than many will in their lifetime.
He signed up for his first George Morris clinic at the minimum age of 12, and has ridden in one more and audited another. At the suggestion of his trainer Scott Lico, Trent prepped for the first by reading horsemanship books by Morris and by Morris' mentor, Gordon Wright. Scott had ridden with Morris many times and trained as a junior with Morris protégé Karen Healey, so he knew the system wouldn't be foreign to his young student.
"We always say that Scott is a little George Morris, so doing the clinic with him was hearing all the things that Scott says and then adding more," Trent explains. Of the many great examples Scott sets for his students, Trent loves the fact that his trainer goes into note-taking student mode at all of the clinics Trent has ridden in. That included the USHJA's Emerging Athlete Program last summer, in which Trent rode with 1984 gold medalist Joe Fargis.
He's learning from everybody – often with differing styles and approaches. George Morris says the foot should touch the outside branch of the stirrup; Joe Fargis says inside branch. George Morris advocates the American forward riding system, while Richard Spooner encouraged riders to sit into the tack more.
"I appreciate the differences and the similarities," says Trent, adding that there were plenty of the latter. "They all have the common trait of caring for the horse first. And all taught not to worry about the distance, to focus on rhythm and pace instead and to adapt what you are doing to each horse." The different approaches, he adds, are all worth testing out and incorporating into his tool kit as a developing horseman.
Pairing a young horse and a young rider is often a bad idea, but it's worked well for Trent and Garfield. On a shopping trip in early 2016, Trent recalls trying over 100 horses. A jumper with extensive, high-level mileage was not an option budget-wise. So they focused on young horses, an area in which Scott has developed a good track record. At VDL Stud in the Netherlands, the then 4 year old chestnut Garfield stood out to then 13 year old Trent and his trainer.
"We were looking for a horse that I could grow with and who had the talent to do the big stuff," Trent explains. "When we tried Garfield, he jumped phenomenal but was rough around the edges. We tried him over two days, and the improvement in what he did with what we were trying to teach him between the first and second day was so vast. That drove it home to us that this was a horse we needed. I could tell he was a fighter and that he wanted to please me." Along with being careful, brave and quick over the ground, that desire to please is his greatest quality, Trent asserts.
The 1.3M division by mid-year is a goal, along with dipping their toe into the 1.4M by year's end. That's assuming that each step up is "a good experience for Garfield," Trent explains. He'll be looking for the 16 hand gelding to "jump extra high" at each new fence height, "then settle into it." That will indicate that he's comfortable with the next level of difficulty. And, Trent, too. "The plan was that we would progress together and take it slow."
If all goes well, qualifying for the Zone 10 North American Junior/Young Riders Championship team is the main target for 2019.
"Since he first started riding with me, at 11, he told me he wanted to be a Grand Prix rider," recounts Scott. After having to evacuate Middle Ranch in Lake View Terrace in December's Creek fire, Scott Lico Stables went first to LAEC. They are now settling into a new permanent home at Hacienda Del Valle, known as "North Middle Ranch" before being sold to its current owners.
Scott has a small clientele of juniors and amateurs. Like Trent, most have only one horse and all buy into Scott's emphasis on "doing a lot of homework" and showing typically just 10 to 12 times a year. It's partly to keep costs within reason, and, more importantly, it allows for "slow work that prepares us to have good results at the shows," the trainer explains. Clinics with other trainers are another emphasis with Scott, sometimes instead of competing.
Super Hard Worker
Trent's passion for the sport is paired with "being a naturally strong, brave, bold type of rider," Scott reports. "He has the blood and guts to take one less stride, take that turn, to go for the win. When he first came to me, it was a matter of controlling the beast. He was riding a bit faster than he was ready to."
Trent credits much of his ascent to Scott and the trainer describes Trent as "a super kid and super hard worker and he loves the sport. I'm proud of how far he's come and I think he can go far."
Early on, Trent and his family made special school arrangements to accommodate his passion. He attends Cal Lutheran High School in Riverside County's Wildomar, where he lives with relatives and attends class only on Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week, he lives at home, continues classwork online and spends every possible second at the stable. Wednesdays through Sundays, "I wake up, do homework and go right to the barn, where I stay until 5 or 6 at night. I do whatever they need me to do. Cleaning the tack room, grooming horses, painting something if that's needed." He welcomes every chance to ride and is Scott's go-to guy whenever a barnmate can't come out. He's also a budding catch rider on the A-circuit.
Gratitude underscores every aspect of Trent's tale of his show jumping adventure so far. Heaps of it go to the family members, teachers and coaches who make his unusual schedule, impressive education and competitive accomplishments possible.
Supporting Trent is a family affair for the McGees. It's not unusual to see an entourage of 20 out to cheer him on at competitions or watch him in clinics. Younger brother Colton is actually allergic to most animals but he shares Trent's enthusiasm for show jumping as a fan. The World Cup Finals in Las Vegas and the Thermal AIG Million are a few of the big classes they've enjoyed together as spectators. "He gets excited about it and for me, too. He understands the sport."
If all goes well, he'll have a big brother to root for in those competitions in the future.

This week's CPS Sketch 59 was definitely a stretch for me! I am fairly competent in graphics programs and thought that putting together a completely digital card would be a piece of cake. Three tries and several hours later, I decided that I'd better just go for hybrid (meaning partially digital--perhaps only digital papers, or even a computer-generated sentiment)--and let myself off of the "completely digital" hook.
If you own more stamps than you'd care to admit to the general public, you might be wondering what the point of digital elements would be anyway. Well, let's say that you don't have the perfect sentiment: it's really pretty simple to find neat free fonts and print your own. I love digital papers too; I've bought far more of them than I've actually used though! I like the idea of starting with a digital file and changing colors to get a color scheme that I want to work with and that goes with my traditional inks and papers, (which I did here.) I also really like the idea of scrapbooking digitally so that I can print off multiple copies for the grandparents, aunts and uncles. Even if you aren't ready to purchase digital kits (which are relatively inexpensive), you can find free kits at most digital sites. The other things you would need is a graphics program of some sort. One common one is Adobe Photoshop Elements--a simplified and considerably less expensive version of Adobe Photoshop. If you'd like to play with a digital program before committing to a purchase, you can normally get a free trial version that will expire after 30 days--very nice to be able to decide if you would use it or not!
Another question that I have been asked regarding using digital papers is what kind of printer I use, and whether it is cost-effective, considering the cost of ink. I have a two or three year old Canon Pixma iP 3000--an inkjet printer that was less than $100. I bought it because at the time Consumer Reports rated it highly and said that it was fairly inexpensive to run--just what I was looking for! I have been using generic ink in it almost the whole time that I've had it, so ink costs are negligible. I get my best print quality when I use good paper, such as an all purpose matte photo paper, for printing my digital backgrounds that I intend to use conventionally. I also tweak my printer settings to best quality, and sometimes higher color saturation as well. I am NOT claiming to be an expert in this area--just dabbling in digital. If I were really ready to commit to digital scrapbooking, I'd love to have a large-format printer that uses six colors of ink and is rated archival. . . (No, that's not in my foreseeable future.) If you are considering playing with digital images and printing them out, be sure to check out not just the cost of the printer, but also the cost of inks for that printer.
On to the card (detail shown above): For digital papers, I used the Flower Stand by S Bartolini and Shabby Miss Jen from Shabby Miss Jen
Stamps: "hello" tag from Mixed Messages by PaperTrey Ink
Accessories: fun foam flowers are cut with a Spellbinders S4 072 Flower Creations die; pink taffeta ribbon by Stampin' Up; Cotton Candy Stickles; brad is Two Scoops by Basic Grey
Now, just so you can see just why I decided to go hybrid rather than all digital, I'll attaching my all-digital try first. (Humility is good for the soul, right?) I know how to add drop shadows, but seeing printed shadows still isn't quite the same for me as being able to see actual raised elements and being able to feel texture on a card! (You can click on any images on my blog and get a larger version.)
Compare that to the hybrid version to which I added some Stickles, a tag stamp, a couple of mat layers of cardstock, ribbon, and some fun foam flowers that I die-cut. It makes a difference! Still, digital design has great possibilities and is great fun to experiment with.
Some of my favorite digital shops are these:
The Shabby Princess/Shabby Shoppe
Shabby Miss Jen Designs
Jen Wilson Designs
Digital Design Essentials
For some great information on how to start playing with digital images, check out this post. If you have some digital shop favorites, feel free to list them in the comments section following this post. Tomorrow night, I'll stick to stamping! Have a lovely day!

Israel is furious over a recent British decision to reconsider its policy toward Hizbullah. Tel Aviv described London's move as "extremely dangerous."
"Israel absolutely rejects the possibility that Hizbullah could become a party that dialogue could be held with," Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Yossi Levy was quoted as saying. "Any decision by a Western state, particularly a major country like Britain, to hold such talks is rejected," he stressed.
According to Levy, Israel protested to Britain about its decision, noting that the Israeli government does not separate between the political and military wing of Hizbullah.
Britain's Foreign Office announced Thursday that it has contacted Hizbullah's political arm in a bid to reach out to its legislators. Levy said "Hizbullah is a terrorist organization that dragged Lebanon into war with Israel."
The Beirut-based As Safir daily on Monday quoted Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman as saying that the U.S. was previously informed about the British decision to reestablish contact with Hizbullah and that it did not oppose the move.

Server downtime is a killer. When your server goes down, no one can access your heating business's website. For that reason, it is imperative that you maintain your server uptime.
What causes server downtime to begin with? Why is it so important that your site remain up at all times? And what steps can you take to maintain your server uptime?
Read on to find out.
What Causes Server Downtime
A multitude of issues can lead to server downtime.
Common issues include server hardware problems, network connectivity, and database components. When any of these problems pop up, your server can go down for a short or long amount of time.
Power outages can also lead to server downtime. Servers need power in order to function. A power outage at the web hosting service's provider will knock all of their servers offline, creating server downtime.
Hosting services that use outdated or obsolete hardware are also prone to server downtime.
6 Reasons Heating Businesses Must Monitor Server Uptime
There are numerous reasons why your heating business should monitor your website's server uptime.
Let's take a look at six of those reasons below.
1. You'll Know What Is Happening
Ideally, you should know what is happening on your website at all times. Knowing allows you to address the issue before it becomes worse than it already is.
Part of addressing the problem is letting your customers know what is happening. When you first realize your website server is down, you should post about it on your other online platforms.
Doing so lets your customers know you've quickly recognized a problem and are addressing it.
Not addressing an issue such as server downtime does a few different things.
First, it suggests that you aren't keeping an eye on all aspects of your business.
Second, it annoys customers. Your website is your customers' online method for contacting you and learning about your business. Customers who can't contact you or learn about the services you offer grow frustrated and move on.
2. You Can Address The Problem Quickly
Server downtime won't necessarily lead to other website problem. Not addressing it quickly can complicate the diagnosis process, though.
The longer it takes you to report server downtime, the more the list of possible problems grows. Each of those possible problems will take time to investigate. In the end, you'll end up spending more time diagnosing the problem.
The result is your website failing for far longer than necessary.
No server will run perfectly all the time. Hiccups are inevitable. But that doesn't mean a lengthy diagnosis process is.
The quicker you find and address the problem, the more time you can spend on fixing it.
3. You Can Manage Your Business's Online Reputation
Dealing with difficult people is part of every industry, including the heating industry. Some people don't want to pay up while others complain no matter what your business does for them.
The Internet gives these difficult people a platform. To spite your business, they may leave poor reviews on Google or your business's Facebook page.
Many customers understand that these people exist and that their comments shouldn't be taken too seriously. However, it always helps if you can address these comments swiftly and professionally.
When your server is down, you won't even know the comments exist.
They'll stay on your platforms and other platforms for all potential customers to see. If your website is down, they can cite your "inoperable website" as proof that you're as poor a business as they claim.
Plus, there is SEO to worry about. When your website goes down for a lengthy amount of time, search engines rank your site lower. Lower ranks mean less traffic to your site.
4. You Can Prevent Profit Loss
It's a well-known fact that most customers like to research online prior to making any sort of business transaction.
If your website is down, customers can't research your business thoroughly. Sure, they can look at your social media. But it isn't the same as looking at the information on your site.
Your site is the online version of your heating business's office. It contains everything about your availability, your services, and your pricing. In essence, it contains everything potential customers need to know prior to committing to you.
If they can't access that information, they'll simply move on to a different company.
In other words, one of your competitors.
Your website is also your networking haven. It shows off your knowledge about the heating business and lends you credibility in the industry. When you post, "Click for more information about gas and heating," your readers know they can trust you.
Poor server uptime destroys that trust.
5. You Can Save Money
Web services aren't cheap. If your server is always down, then you're losing money.
Monitoring your website for excellent server uptime acts as an insurance policy.
When you keep an eye on your website's server, you are guaranteeing that it works. You are guaranteeing that your online reputation stays clean. You are guaranteeing that potential customers can access your information.
In sum, you are guaranteeing that you are getting your money's worth out of your website.
6. You Can Detect Hackers
Hackers are the shady alleyway dwellers of the Internet. They use unlawful means to perform tasks that they deem a service to society. They also hack just for the fun of it.
In a world where online reputation management is everything, hackers are dangerous people. They can get into any online platform, delete or steal important information, and post obscene material. That material will follow your business forever.
As such, it is important to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity on your website.
Keep tabs on content that has gone missing or appeared out of nowhere. Also, keep an eye on your dashboard page. A sudden change in the page's layout is a huge indication that someone has changed your settings without your consent.

ARC/INFO is an integrated system in which database and graphics are combined together in onc system, and the relationship between them is mainlained. In the graphics section. geographical data can be processed in several modules which have different roles. This means that ARC/INFO splits its GIS functions (tools) in several places which intersupport each other. This new method of data handling and manipulating is known as a tool-box approach. The purpose of this article is to investigate the capability and suitability of ARC/INFO and the significance of the tool-box approach in order to provide a very outstanding system to fulfill the user's ever changing needs

Skip to 0 minutes and 0 seconds The distorted interpretations of history so present inside Sayyid Qutb writings was widely adopted and is still advocated today by thinkers and leaders active in the Islamic world. As mentioned before, scholars trace a direct connection between the Muslim Brotherhood and Jihadist organizations, such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS. What are the common characteristics of the Muslim Brotherhood and these contemporary radical groups and what place does antisemitism hold in these organizations? The perceptions of Qutb in fact informed all the Islamist radical movements which came after the Six-Day War and especially in the 70s.
Skip to 0 minutes and 52 seconds Different groups in Egypt, of course - El Gama'a El Islamiyya, the Islamic Jihad, and then gradually we have those global - which meant to be global originally - but remained local and typical to the Egyptian scene. From them we have people who later on join those forces in Afghanistan, which became to be known later as Al-Qaeda. And from Al-Qaeda we have ISIS which is in fact a faction of Al-Qaeda originally, which became even more radicalized than Al-Qaeda and its perceptions of its struggle with the Christian-Jewish civilization. All Islamist organizations, and here especially ISIS and Al-Qaeda, believe that there is an historical, what they call "Jewish Crusader" or "Jewish-Western onslaught" against Islam that goes back to the 10th century.
Skip to 2 minutes and 0 seconds Both believe that this joint Jewish-Western offensive and onslaught intends to eradicate Islam. And therefore all Islamic organizations developed a very strong anti-Jewish ideology. I would also say that all Islamist organizations associate the Jews with modernity. They associate the Jews with global culture and economic processes which undermine the Muslim world. And therefore, of course, they hold a very strong anti-Jewish position and ideology. Ironically, on the other hand, even though ideologically they hold a very strong anti-Jewish position, on the practical level the Jews are not the number one enemy.
Skip to 2 minutes and 50 seconds In fact Al-Qaeda, for quite a few years, gave priority to fighting Muslim governments, out of the belief that first you have to purify the Muslim camp and then confront the external enemies of Islam. It's what they call the near enemy and the far enemy. ISIS, which holds a very strong anti-Jewish ideology, for the time being gives priority to fighting the Shi'a. In fact ironically some of the Islamist organizations have a statement that says that the Shi'a are worse even than the Jews.
Skip to 3 minutes and 28 seconds And the reason is that the Jews don't hide their evil nature, they are very open about their evil character, whereas the Shi'is hide their evil character, and therefore ISIS, for instance gives priority to fighting the Shi'a and gives priority to exterminating the Shi'a right now than fighting the Jews. So we can make a distinction between very deep brutal ideological animosity and practical policy which right now, for the time being, gives priority to other elements. At the same time we should not overlook the fact that in various terrorist attacks in Europe, Jews were the targets.
Skip to 4 minutes and 11 seconds We saw it in France. We saw it in Belgium. And here this is again an example of the manifestation or implementation of this deep animosity toward Jews.

If you have sturdy columns to work with, then it should be easy. Assuming the columns are made from wood, pvc tubing, metal pipe, or part of an existing fence and fixed to the ground, make a crosspiece that spans the width of the opening. You can then cover everything with a layer of rigid house insulation(sheets of styrofoam or a finer pink/blue plastic foam). Carve with an electric knife or utility knife to create the brick pattern. Layout the lettering by sketching to scale from a drawing or use the free rasterbator software to enlarge something on the computer. You can even just layer up corrugated cardboard a few layers and finish off the rough edges with papier mache. Look up the instructables by creativeman to make signs, he has a lot of stuff. Faux rock effect is fun to do. Good luck.
Halloween graveyard gate Answered
Hey guys, so I'm planning a halloween party this year, and came across this prop on one of the popular halloween store's websites :
Looking at it, I thought $150? The two columns would be more than easy enough to make like that for very cheap. I just dont know how I'd go about building the 'Cemetary' sign like that (or something similar). Anyone have any experience/ideas on how to go about doing that?

Slacker and Steve - Going to Hell (Audio)
December 15, 2017
A thief in Missouri stole a treadmill from a dad battling cancer. The thief, caught on home security camera, stole the package off his porch. The woman ran up in a blue hoodie and dark pants, wearing only socks on her feet. After the video has gone viral dozens of people reached out to donate gym equipment of their own. Someone spotted the torn up cardboard box, recognized it from the video, and returned it to a local FedEx. He was able to pick it up, assemble it, and everything is working fine. What have you done to reserve your spot in Hell?

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Criticizes Anti-Israel Exhibit in British Church
by JNS.org
JNS.org – Lord Carey of Clifton, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, criticized a historic Methodist church in London for demonizing Israel through a reconstructed Israeli border checkpoint exhibition.
"I am sad to learn that Hinde Street Methodist Church are planning an exhibition that portrays Israel as oppressors of victims," Lord Carey said in a prepared statement, reiterating Israel's need for security barrier to safeguard against terror attacks. "The methods used by democracies to defend their civilians should not be undermined by religious leaders in places of worship and brotherhood."
Coinciding with the World Council of Churches' World Week for Peace in Palestine, the Hinde Street church created a replica of an Israeli security checkpoint called, "You cannot pass today," to display to allegedly portray daily life for Palestinians, who cross the border between Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
"Jewish people across Europe are increasingly being targeted and killed by terrorists, who often attempt to justify their actions by demonizing Israel," Lord Carey added. "It is therefore particularly sad to see a church in London demonizing and singling out Israel's defensive actions against terrorism."
Marie van der Zyl, vice president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said in a statement the exhibit "looks like a one-sided exhibition, which puts unwelcome and unnecessary strain on Christian-Jewish relations."

After Elliott Smith committed suicide in 2003, the mural featured on the cover of his 2002 album Figure 8 became an impromptu shrine, a place where fans could come together and mourn the shockingly violent death of the terminally sensitive singer-songwriter. For months, fans wrote messages to Smith on the wall of what was then an audio repair shop, leaving flowers and offerings in his memory.
Then, in 2016, the steady drumbeat of L.A. gentrification, which had long since enveloped the surrounding Silver Lake neighborhood, finally came to claim this sacred spot. It came in the form of a bar called Bar Angeles, which cut a big chunk out of the mural to create a front window where patrons could sit and dream of hipper days gone by:
Now, another seemingly unstoppable force—the volatility of the nightlife industry—has come to claim Bar Angeles as well. Eater LA reports that the bar's last day in business will be tomorrow, Saturday March 31, with the space being converted into a "modern Filipino cooking" spot called Ma'am Sir after that.
There's no word yet on whether the space's new occupants will keep the mural, including the piece that Bar Angeles moved inside after excising it from the wall, intact.

Denver Home Builders Association
Challenge – Provide greater exposure for the Home Builder Association of Metro Denver programs and opportunities to increase membership.
Result – Membership had dwindled to an all-time low during the recession. The goal for our team was to create marketing materials that portrayed the vast opportunities of the existing and new councils that appealed to potential homebuilder and associate members. In addition to these collateral pieces that developed, we launched a PR campaign through Press Releases and social media to create awareness, which solicited a number of new members.

Everyone's favorite vampire has saddled up for the role of outlaw in the new Sci Fi Channel original movie Alien Western. Lucky us — we've stumbled upon some set photos of Marsters all dirty-cowboyed up.
Cute-as-a-button co-star Sanny van Heteren posted a few pics from the set showing a dirty Marsters ready to kill some alien-bug scum. The plot of Alien Western is centered around a little town that gets attacked by giant alien bugs. Marsters plays Sam Danville, an outlaw who's supposed to be executed when the aliens land.
Anyone else thinks Marsters just picks parts off of a role playing fantasy to-do list? Vampire, check. Space and time traveler, check. Savvy thief, check. Green alien, check. Cowboy, check. I can't wait until he plays the firefighter with the troubled past followed by the Mexican apple thief. (Ten points if you catch that reference.) Either way, I'll clear my schedule to watch him slay aliens, get dirty and say yee-haw. Especially since it looks like he is going gorgeously gray around the edges. Plus giant bugs, people. This may actually be one Sci Fi original that's made of win.

What specialists consult for his hemorrhoids?: When one discovers the presence of hemorrhoids, one is often destabilized, and one no longer knows whom to turn to. The circumstances of discovery may differ from one person to another. If some people take the trouble to touch the anal part or examine it from time to time, others only realize the problem in the case of complication, especially bleeding. For the latter, it is easier to diagnose because they consult the emergencies and this is where they are directed to the right person (s). For others, they do not know what it is and are quickly heading to the pandora's box, the Internet. Do not panic; you will be told where to go and whom to talk to.
A doctor, to take care of himself!
A proctologist is not only a physician but also and above all a physician specializing in diseases that affect the recto-anal part. No need to see a generalist, he will never know better than a specialist. What we mean is not that a generalist will not be able to diagnose the problem but will refer you to a proctologist with a letter. Both saving money and heading straight for the right person.
A proctologist will make the right diagnosis, know what stage you are in, give you medications to relieve you and others to heal you. He will also advise you on your diet, the changes that this disease involves and what you need to do to prevent the onset of other seizures.

However, some people may not be adept at the therapeutic approach and prefer to do things more naturally. In this case, your local herb dealer will not help you and will only feed you plants that he thinks are right for you. It is not such a bad idea to have plants to cure naturally except that the right specialist natural herbal medicines are the homeopathic doctor. The latter will take the time to consult you correctly and will know what to propose you are taking into account your history, your allergies and your current state of health.
Did you know? A consultation with a doctor lasts on average 15 minutes whereas a consultation with a homeopathic doctor lasts on average 45 minutes.

People who suffer from hemorrhoid crises are often prone to constipation and overweight. These problems result primarily from poor nutrition. When one has bad eating habits, the only qualified person to help you change them is a nutritionist. Although websites are packed with a whole lot of advice on foods to eat and diet to follow to combat constipation, overweight and foods that worsen or trigger hemorrhoid attacks, only a nutritionist will give you a diet Adapted to your needs and your level of activity. By going to see a real nutritionist, you will have a stone two blows.
One tip: Avoid nutritionists who rely too much on food supplements. A good full diet does not need any supplements because it is already … complete!
A coach, to practice!
It is a myth to say to yourself that you should not practice any sport when you have hemorrhoids. Indeed, there are certain sports to avoid when suffering from hemorrhoidal attacks but it is by no means a reason to stop all physical activity and to allow oneself to a sedentary lifestyle.
However, if you suffer from hemorrhoids, it is that you have not been able to adapt your activity to your condition and you, therefore, need outside help. The person best placed is a sports coach. That said, you have a choice!
You should know that a coach in strength training or combat sports will not help you and a good coach will send you back home as soon as you tell him about your problem. What you need is a swimming coach or better, in yoga. These two sports are best for managing hemorrhoidal attacks. However, one thing is for sure; you need a professional to help you adopt the right movements and to stop when you do the wrong things.
See Hemorrhoid No More Reviews! " A simple and safe method to cure hemorrhoids in 48 hours "
A psychologist, to talk about it!
Suffering from the hemorrhoidal disease can be quite a trying experience. If some people manage to overcome this and live well, others see their and may even sink into depression. What to do to avoid this is to talk about it. We must turn to the entourage and especially his family because there is surely a member who has suffered or still suffers, it is because of the hereditary component of this disease.
However, some people can not talk about it, and that is very understandable. In fact, for the anecdote, Napoleon Bonaparte suffered from hemorrhoids, and yet, one could only know it after his death. He was suffering and yet refused to talk about it. Besides, historians connect his madness at the end of his life with this disagreement (and the word remains minuscule for what he undergoes) that gave him the hemorrhoidal crises more and more brutal.
The difference is that in our time there is a specialist to talk about it: A psychologist. In the past, the only specialist in mental problems was the psychiatrist, and his methods were very doubtful. Besides, he was called upon only in case of apparent madness or mental problems. However, the depression induced by the hemorrhoidal attacks is a little evil that a discussion with a psychologist could relieve.
In short, if you feel bad and you do not have anyone to talk to, or nobody brings you the internal relief you are looking for, do not hesitate to see it.
A veteran, for the experience!
There is an Arabic proverb (of Tunisian origin) that says it is better to seek advice from an experienced than a doctor. We shall not retain the second part, for we must consult, but for the first part, it is full of wisdom. A veteran knows exactly what you are going through and will give you tips to get rid of them. Moreover, speaking of experience, this solution was developed after nine years of fierce fight against these crises increasingly active and increasingly resistant.

Online public schools vs regular homeschooling?
Want to contribute your views on the homeschool vs public school debate, or just looking for information? Post here!
Moderators: Theodore, elliemaejune
Online vs. homeschool
We homeschooled all three of my children up until middle school. At that point, we enrolled them in an online school. We were VERY hesitant at first, but it has been a blessing. The program is fantastic, their teachers help my children when they need it, and they handle all the grading and record keeping. I review everything and follow my children through their online portal that give me real time stats on their attendance, grades, and feedback. I can monitor all communication between my children and their staff. The program is interactive and my children enjoy it. I also provide face to face lessons in addition to the work they do online to supplement the curriculum. It is working great for us. My eldest daughter is a senior this year and was just accepted to Brown. If you are looking for a quality program www.virtualedu.org

Lisa, on your recommendation, we enrolled in American High School and so far, it has been a great experience. They have made it so easy for us. They requested our transcripts and determined what we need to graduate. Then, they helped us set our schedule and provided an hour long orientation. Every time I have needed help so far, we have been able to Skype with the teacher who has spent so much time tutoring my daughter. We had always spoke of homeschooling our children, but we never really thought we could do it. This has been such a great experience, I can't recommend it enough.

Homeschooling vs online
We have done all types of schools. Private, Public, Homeschool and Online School. We started out in public schools up until the third grade and then went private. For the amount of money we were spending, the school wasn't so much better than the public school in our district. With no other options, we decided to homeschool for the rest of elementary school and middle. Unfortunately, when my son started taking classes like physics and trigonometry, we were unable to guide him as well as we would like. We looked into a virtual school who provided teachers to assist. He got the tutoring he needed, they handled the record keeping(load off us) and we had the peace of mind knowing this was a SACS accredited program. Online Schools can compliment what you are doing already and add some value to your program.

The Barber-dime series, produced from 1892 to 1916, is a relatively easy collection to complete in circulated grades. There is only one key date, the 1895-O (we're excluding the extremely rare 1894-S), and even for that coin a collector could certainly hope to acquire an example in collectable condition for less than $1,000. For many other American coin series a complete collection would require several of those coins, making the Barber-dime series a great place to start for a collector on a budget. In this article we will highlight five coins that a collector can hope to acquire for less than $100 that provide a strong foundation for a dedicated collection of Barber dimes. Many other dates in this series can be found for less than $50 in circulated grades. Of course, as always, originality is key, and original Very Fine / Extremely Fine examples of this series are surprisingly difficult to find, despite rather low prices.
The first Barber dime we will take a closer look at is the 1895-S. While the New Orleans Mint produced the scarcest issue of the series that year, the San Francisco issue is not particularly common either, despite a rather generous output of 1,120,000 coins. Uncirculated examples are very scarce, and can easily cost several thousand dollars, especially in Gem Uncirculated condition (at that level this is one of the scarcer dates in the series). A nice Fine, however, can be acquired for right around $100 and will provide strong detail and an appealing coin for the money.
Spend a Little More: A notoriously difficult date to find in original EF condition, examples of this date at that grade level start at about $200 and go up from there, depending on originality and eye appeal. At that level I believe this date is an excellent buy, as strong About Uncirculated examples can cost quite a bit more, and a certified Uncirculated coin starts at about $750 and goes up from there.
The Denver Mint opened in 1906, and Barber dimes were among the first pieces produced at the Colorado facility. While the first year of issue is generally available thanks to its mintage of just over 4 million pieces, the 1907-D Barber dime is scarcer, despite a similar mintage. Notable expert on the series David Lawrence once attributed the scarcity of this date to the disappearance of four wagons full of freshly minted dimes in 1907 in the Black Canyon in Western Colorado. Whether this is true is unknown, but it is an interesting story, and it makes this scarce coin all the more interesting. $100 should get you a nice EF or even an AU—and a coin that was definitely not lost that year.
Spend a Little More: This is another issue where uncirculated examples jump in value. Original uncirculated coins start at $400 for certified MS-62's and go up from there. A certified AU-58 might be a better option at approximately half that, but very few of this date have been certified at that level and they are generally in strong demand.
After a long history (which included an 18-year closure after the outbreak of the Civil War), the New Orleans Mint closed for the final time in 1909, but not before striking 2,287,000 Barber dimes for circulation. A very popular issue because of its status as the last dime from the New Orleans Mint (the first were struck in 1838 shortly after the opening of the Mint and were of the Liberty Seated design, which would be replaced in 1892 by the Barber design), the issue can be found in circulated grades with relative ease, but original, sharply struck examples are scarce. For $100 a strong VF can be found with some searching, but as this series is particularly popular in that grade, expect strong competition.
Spend a Little More: Another date that jumps in value at the uncirculated level, a few hundred dollars will get you a nice EF of this date and a very collectable coin. At that grade level, coins of this type show modest wear and generally retain most of their design elements.
The 1913-S has the second-lowest circulation-strike mintage of the series, after the 1895-O, yet remains very affordable in circulated grades. Just 510,000 pieces were produced for circulation, yet a decent Fine will only cost about $100. This makes it a coin of tremendous value, as the 1895-O, with a mintage of 440,000 pieces, would cost at least six times as much in the same grade. When you compare the 1913-S with, for example, the 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent, which had a mintage of 484,000 pieces and costs quite a bit more, it is amazing that a coin with such a low mintage remains relatively affordable. Of course, the Lincoln wheat cent series is a lot more popular than the Barber-dime series, but I believe both beginning and advanced collectors should not disregard the Barber dimes, as they can provide a lot of enjoyment to hunt down the various dates.
Spend a Little More: Perhaps even more wondrous is the fact that original EF's of this date will only set you back about $300, and AU's aren't much more than that. Personally, for this having the second-lowest mintage of the entire series, I think that's tremendous value—but don't expect to find such a coin easily, as they are actually quite scarce and surprisingly difficult to find.
A Guide Book of Barber Silver Coins, by Q. David Bowers
Uncirculated Type Coin
If you're just looking for a single type example of this series your best bet will be some of the Philadelphia issues, which had high mintages and can be found with relative ease. For $100 a nice uncirculated coin is certainly within the realm of possibility, although you won't have an endless supply of coins to choose from. Most of the 20th-century dates from the Philadelphia Mint should not cost much more than $100 for an MS-62 or so, and there's really not all that much difference from date to date, meaning that you should try to find an appealing example that fits your budget.
Spend a Little More: While Gem Uncirculated examples cost more as type collectors seek such coins, strong MS-64's aren't really that expensive in the grand scheme of things. For just over $200 you should be able to find a nice certified example at that grade level, and if you can find one that is fully original with a strong strike and pleasing surfaces you have found yourself an excellent type representative for the Barber-dime series. ❑

OZY Explores Transferable Skills

Because it's time to put those untapped talents to use: Move on up or make more money.
By OZY Editors
Learn From Selling on eBay
Selling your old jeans on eBay may be the best job prep you ever do. Think day-trading: Selling your stuff successfully online might be a brilliant place to get good at it — or at least to find out if you've got the knack. Which means eBay's marketplace of sellers could be a rich talent pool for recruiters — or any smart entrepreneur — to consider hiring from, or to look for inspiration. And here you thought you were just wasting time, hanging out in your sweats and trading treasures. You were actually pumping up your résumé.
Get an Accelerated MBA
People returning to the workforce often look to the MBA as a way to up their employability factor. But not everyone who wants an MBA has two years and $100K to spend. Enter the one-year MBA. These accelerated programs don't halve the price tag, but they do take a lot less time. And one-year programs can make for a more comfortable peer group than, say, a bunch of beer-pong-playing, Instagram-happy 26-year-olds. It's not an easy track to take — especially if you're more poetry-minded or have a fear of spreadsheets, like the article's author, Anna Nordberg. But if you're willing to put the work into it, there are plenty of fast-track options.
Sell It Like Mormon Mad Men
You've probably heard about the two years most young Mormons devote to their missions. The reason for the missions is not just the obvious fact that the Mormon church has become a marketing machine in recent years (despite a relatively small number of global converts). The two-year assignment is also a lesson in transferable skills that can apply to everyone, whether or not you're one of the world's 14 million Mormons. Getting out into the world at a young age and doing something that's potentially scary and unstructured is one of the best preparations there is for entrepreneurship.
Get Comfortable With Code
Stanford has launched the latest attempt to make the humanities 21st-century friendly. The great American university, nestled in the bosom of Silicon Valley, is updating the beleagured English major by tossing in some code. Students can now joint-major in English and computer science, meaning they don't simply double up on classes, but they must actually integrate the two disciplines in a final project. (Music + CS is also a joint-major option.) If the humanities need a hero, could technology — in the form of solutions like Stanford's — wear the cape?

This year at our opening Convocation on August 13, 2015, the Goochland County Public Schools awarded three prizes of distinction to teachers based upon learning that took place by students during the 2014-15 school year. These G21 Awards were presented to teachers based on their success in planning and executing engaging learning experiences focused on the development of twenty-first century skills using a project-based approach.
Our elementary winner was Mr. Joe Beasley from Goochland Elementary School. As a 1:1 iPad teacher, Joe's G21 Project was entitled "Zooapedia," and required students to develop their own class wiki on animals. Modeled after the world's most famous wiki, the Wikipedia, students developed webpages that collected factual information, photos, and even animations of animals. Using Google Sites software, he was able to engage the entire class with every page through commenting. Students took great pride in figuring out how to construct the pages in ways they wanted them to behave, using HTML code in some cases.
Our secondary winners are Mrs. Emily Holloway-Costa (English) and Mr. Neil Burch (drama). The two teachers worked together to find new ways to approach the teaching of myths. Students wrote their own plays, and Burch's students performed the dramatic works. The approach adopted focused on the art of creation in the learning process. The resulting works penned and acted by students were of high quality.
Goochland also likes to recognize projects that go beyond a school's walls. This year Goochland Elementary Teachers Ms. Ariel Kuykendaal, Mrs. Betsy Alvis, and Mrs. Sara DeLong (Kindergarten) designed a calendar project where their Kindergarten students developed calendars they could sell, with the help of older students who had iPads at the school. They later got help from Mr. Tim Greenway (CTE) at the high school and had outdoor easels built for art projects. The students got to see the fruits of their labor with a cool new outdoor learning space.
G21 is a district-wide initiative begun in 2008 to bring project-based learning opportunities to students. The G21 Awards are a way for us to highlight superlative efforts by our educators. GCPS appreciates the support of the Goochland Education Foundation which underwrites this award each year. Congratulations, teachers!

A follow up on the frame discussion prompted by reading Jamshed Bharucha's Education as Stretching the Mind. Jamshed places the idea of re-framing as a central goal of education, which he states like this:
Learn new frameworks, and be guided by them. But never get so comfortable as to believe that your frameworks are the final word, . . .
He defines frameworks broadly:
a range of conceptual or belief systems — either explicitly articulated or implicitly followed. These include narratives, paradigms, theories, models, schemas, frames, scripts, stereotypes, and categories; they include philosophies of life, ideologies, moral systems, ethical codes, worldviews, and political, religious or cultural affiliations. These are all systems that organize human cognition and behavior by parsing, integrating, simplifying or packaging knowledge or belief. . . .
But there is a problem. Frames are necessary to reduce cognitive chaos and complexity to a manageable level, but the mind also has an overwhelming bias to maintain these frames, even in the face of disconfirming evidence and sometimes they even create perceptions that are just plain wrong.
The brain maps information onto a small set of organizing structures, which serve as cognitive lenses, skewing how we process or seek new information. These structures drive a range of phenomena, including the perception of coherent patterns (sometimes where none exists), the perception of causality (sometimes where none exists), and the perception of people in stereotyped ways.
But the plasticity of the brain can allow us to change our mind, abet within limits and with much effort, critical tools, reasoning, and the support of ethical and committed people called educators. Neuro-linguistic Programming: I've always thought that therapy should be grounded in education, but maybe education should be grounded in therapy. I believe strongly in positive psychology, but maybe we can also benefit from curing some of our diseased conceptions.

IF YOU'VE ever watched a Disney movie and thought, 'that scene looks familiar,' you were probably right.
The studio has been recycling scenes from previous Disney movies for more than 50 years.
As demonstrated in YouTube videos by Movie Munchies, scenes from Sleeping Beauty were recycled for Beauty and the Beast, a dance scene in Snow White popped up in Robin Hood and scenes from Cinderella were used once again in 101 Dalmatians.
According to Floyd Norman who worked on a number of Disney films including The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book and Robin Hood, there's one man in particular to blame for the scene recycling.
"That was Woolie Reitherman," Norman said to geekdad.com.
Reitherman directed such films as Winnie the Pooh, 101 Dalmatians and the AristoCats and liked to "play it safe" by using old scenes.
"It's actually harder and takes longer to redraw an existing sequence," Norman said.
"It's a lot faster and easier to just do new animation, and it's a lot more fun for the animaters. But Woolie liked to play it safe and use stuff he knew would work. That's all it was."
Reitherman's not the only offender though.
The co-director of Beauty and the Beast admitted that they recycled a dance scene from Sleeping Beauty because they were struggling to finish the film on time.
"The scene from Beauty and the Beast that we re-used was done for time, but not money," Gary Trousdale wrote.
"We were just days from our final deadline to deliver, and we had an entire dance sequence (the last scene of the movie, not the ballroom) to do. Everyone was booked and busy, and we knew damn well that Woolie had established this precedent, so we took the Sleeping Beauty dance, re-sized and re-positioned it, and gave the note, 'Note to Clean-up: clean up Aurora as Belle, clean up Prince Charming as Beast'."
