If you have been following my blog for some time then you already know that I am a huge fan of DCS World in VR. Have been flying in VR for well over a year now. I love it so much so that I fly in DCS 99% of the time in VR. The only time I may not fly in VR is when i'm doing some kind of mission testing where I quickly need to access and test out a specific section of a mission. Even when I do this, it just feels weird to fly in 2D. Folks don't believe the negative hype about VR. VR for DCS is actually awesome! I am going to take you thru the steps that I took to set my gaming rig up for VR. My VR system of choice is the Oculus Rift.
Ok lets get started on setting your PC up to run DCS World in VR. If you plan on running VR your system should also meet the recommended requirements for it. Per Digital Combat Simulators website the recommended system requirements for VR are as follows.
Recommended VR systems requirements (VR graphics settings): OS 64-bit Windows 8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+ at 3+ GHz or AMD FX / Ryzen; RAM: 16 GB (32 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 120 GB on Solid State Drive (SSD); Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD Radeon RX VEGA 64 or better; Joystick; requires internet activation.
Keep in mind that my system consists of an i7 8700K, 32 GB Ram @ 3200mhz, 500gb SSD, and a 1080Ti GPU. If you have specs close to this, this will be the perfect tutorial for you.
DCS is recommending at the very least you have a GTX 1080 or Vega 64. And I will go ahead and throw this out there. Yes you can also run VR with something like a 1060 or 1070 but I will tell you the game is going to run like crap and ALL of your settings will be on low – which may give you a negative outlook on VR for DCS World. That would not be a fair assessment. So from this if you are using anything less than a 1080 or Vega 64 I would highly recommend you upgrade your hardware before making the switch over to DCS World in VR. I am currently running a 1080Ti OC so we will be using this as our GPU for this tutorial. Also make sure your CPU can keep up with your GPU or bottle necking will occur.
The first thing I would like you to remember is the number (45). This is going to be our sweet spot when it comes to FPS (frames per second). That is right – when it comes to DCS World in VR we are only needing a minimum of 45 FPS per. This will allow for silky smooth game play and will decrease motion sickness if you are prone to that. And if you are prone to motion sickness, no worries you will usually get use to it the more you fly in VR unless it's a serious case.
Above is a screenshot of the settings I currently use. Again, please be mindful that I am using a 1080Ti which allows me to have most settings set to "High". IF you are using anything less than a 1080 Ti you will need to make some adjustments. Many of these settings will affect your FPS but the major frame killers are.
*Anisotropic Filtering
*Terrain Object Shadows
Textures, Terrain Textures, Visible Range, Rain Droplets will affect your FPS and will need to be adjusted based on your GPU. Again, if your using anything less than a 1080 you will need to bring down your settings. You are going to have to play around with these setting a lot.
For settings like Clutter/Grass, Tree Visibility, and Preload Radius will all be subject to the amount of RAM you have installed. Since I'm using 32GB of fast ram, I can turn these volumes way up. For DCS World the very minimum RAM you should be using is 8 16 GB. Sorry folks you better get with it. The new minimal ram for gaming will soon be 16GB. So be sure to base these settings on the amount of RAM installed on your PC.
Now let's take a look in the VR tab in our Options for DCS World. Make sure you have your VR headset enabled and for this tutorial we are going to use a PD (Pixel Density) of 0.5. That is the lowest setting we can set in DCS World. We are actually going to setup the PD for DCS World using The Oculus Tray Tool. If you do not have it yet, please go and download.
Here is where we are going to set your PD (pixel density). You can play around with this but I find that a PD of 1.5-1.7 works best. Anything over this you can not really tell a difference visually but you will take a performance hit the higher PD you decide to use. Also using the Oculus Tray tool we can disable ASW. If you are using a system with a GPU less than a 1080 you may wish to leave ASW on to help you hold 45 FPS.
Now we are just about done with setting up our PC to run DCS World in VR. We just need to check one finial things if you are using a GTX GPU. We need to check a settings in our Nvidia control panel. All we are looking for is the "Power Management Mode" we want to make sure we are able to use our GPU to full capacity.
dcs world nvidia control panel
And that is it. This is how I have my gaming PC setup to run DCS World in VR and I get a solid 45 FPS when playing in game for silky smooth gameplay with most of my settings set to High. I can not stress this enough so I will say this one final time. If you are using anything less than a 1080 you ARE going to need to lower your settings to get the sweet number of 45 FPS. Until next time. Peace.
Good day,
I bought a vr HP Reverb, works fine on my pc but I cannot connect it with dcs, can you give advice?

Latest News
A Staffordshire livestock keeper from Great Wyrley has been handed a 27-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months after pleading guilty to a string of animal health charges at Stafford Crown Court, according to Staffordshire Newsroom (19th August 2019).
John Sadler was sentenced after pleading guilty to offences relating to the failure to dispose of animal carcasses and failing to register cattle on his holding.
Sadler was also found guilty on counts of fraud by misrepresentation, by giving calves false dates of birth, failing to present 61 cattle for TB testing, failing to register cattle deaths on his farm and failing to produce a herd register to an inspector when requested.
In court, Sadler also received fines totalling £6,000 and was ordered to pay costs of £9,500.
Staffordshire County Council's communities leader, Gill Heath, said:
"The vast majority of livestock keepers act responsibly and play an important part in our rural economy. Unfortunately, on rare occasions we do get cases like this and our Trading Standards and Animal Health teams will act accordingly to protect animals and legitimate businesses."
The court also heard that when the council's animal health officers visited Sadler's farm in January 2018, they found the carcasses of four dead sheep and multiple bones from other dead animals that had not been disposed of correctly.
Officers also found a large number of cattle that had no identification and that were not registered as being on the farm with the British Cattle Movement Service, which is against the law.
Furthermore, Sadler could not produce either the cattle passports or the herd register for the cattle, and subsequent enquiries revealed that he had attempted to register some of the cattle but had given them a date of birth that was false and misleading.
From the visits made by the animal health officer and enquiries with regards to the TB testing undertaken at the farm, it was identified that Sadler had failed to present 61 cattle for their statutory bovine TB test and more than 50% of the herd at that time remained untested. The last time the full herd was tested for bTB was in 2013.

Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden Both Gave Pro Transgender Rights Speeches This
Speaking to a room of almost 4,000 supporters of the nation's largest LGBT rights group, Vice President Joe Biden was a person focused on the challenges of the future – not merely celebrating the successes of the past. "Biden shrugged at the possibility of his own presidential run" and "seemed dismissive of his own White House ambitions", the outlet said. They are loved, and they are us.Defense Secretary Ash Carter has said the Pentagons current regulations banning transgender individuals are outdated and has ordered a study aimed at formally ending one of the last gender- or sexuality-based barriers to military service. Just a month ago, one cautioned, it looked as if he might not do it. And while a few say they have sensed a shift toward "yes", nothing is definitive until Biden himself starts calling influential Democrats in early-voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire to tell them he is running. Last week, his schedule was consumed with the papal visit and the state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Insiders quoted by CBS News now say that Biden is leaning toward throwing his hat in the ring.
The HRC gathering responded with prolonged and thunderous applause to that line and one that quickly followed: "I'm running for president to stand up for the fundamental rights of LGBT Americans and all Americans".
HRC President Chad Griffin had appropriately introduced Biden to the crowd as, "Someone who has been known to be a little impatient when it comes to doing the right thing". Despite CNN making clear that he would be welcome at the first Democratic presidential debate October 13, the vice president's political team said he will skip it even if he decides to run.
The vice president – directly, no longer only through his advisers – has sounded more like someone inclined to jump into the race to challenge Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Democratic field.
The Human Rights Campaign made its first presidential endorsement in 1992, backing Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton cast herself as a champion for their cause.
But he said that if Biden got into the race, the vice president would cause a few second thoughts.
The country still hasn't achieved equality, despite a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court giving gays and lesbians the right to marry nationwide, Cook said.
She committed to pushing equal rights in the military, including for transgender people. But during a speech to a gay rights group, he took a pre-emptive cheap shot at his potential opponents.
"The one way to change this overnight, would be to infuse in every mind in America that there are still 31 states that can deny you employment, and housing, etc…" There, his 2012 declaration in a "Meet the Press" interview that he supported same-sex marriage was hailed as an example of political courage.
While the vice president dropped no hints Saturday night about a possible 2016 run, the issue confronted him just moments after he stepped on stage.

Tip of the Week
Ways to Prepare for College Financially
Student Contributor
Posted October 28, 2016
Be responsible for your life
As you begin college, there are many new responsibilities to take on. Your social security number should be memorized and your card stored in a safe place. It is imperative to know your healthcare insurance information. In college you will have to get to class on time without help and you will be the one to ensure you go to the doctor when you do not feel well. This is a time of increased independence, as well as new responsibilities. You are now an adult and will be held accountable for your actions.
Know your account information
In college there are many things that you will have to purchase on your own: food, clothes, housing, books, and school supplies. It would be wise to open an account at a financial institution close to your school, or know a local ATM you can use surcharge free.
Begin Building Credit
A person's credit score will affect most financial decisions in their life. It will be very beneficial to start a positive credit history while you're still in school. The credit score you develop in college will affect your first car loan after graduation, the house you want to buy, and even your future employment. Someone who has good credit has more options in life financially.
Know how you are paying for school
Paying for school is a very big deal. As a student, you should know how you're paying for school especially since schools charge you based on how many classes you take. If you take out loans, be aware of the amount and which types of loans you're using. There are loans through the government and there are private loans: subsidized loans and unsubsidized loans. Subsidized loans will not accrue interest until after you graduate. Unsubsidized loans will accrue interest while you are still in school. Interest rates will also affect how much money you pay in the end so be aware of them. Don't put off your loan education until you graduate. Eventually, you will have to pay back all of this money so it is important to know your loan situation.
Don't let your parents do everything for you
College is a time to learn about yourself and grow. While it can be hard at first to become independent, it's necessary. One of the first steps you can take is to create a budget for your income and expenses. Educate yourself about banking and personal finances. Don't fall for scams, because unfortunately many target college students. Be aware of when to give out personal information, and when to withhold it.
Save up!
College is expensive. Life is expensive. Saving money and having an emergency fund is a necessity. You never know what is going to happen in life, and it's good to be prepared. Starting to save at a young age can set you up for a successful future. It is recommended to save about 10-plus percent of your income, and to set a limit on what you spend per month. It is okay to bring your piggy bank to college. Save up that loose change because every penny counts. Always look for deals and explore the savings options at your financial institution. Adulthood brings bigger and bigger bills, but if you save a lot of your money right now it will help you in the future.

Access to energy confers wealth—and power. As our energy system goes through a profound transformation away from fossil fuels, there will no doubt be winners and losers.
Join us for a conversation with Miya Yoshitani, Executive Director of Asian Pacific Environmental Network and Timothy DenHerder-Thomas of Cooperative Energy Futures for an engaging, compelling conversation exploring the future of energy democracy and examining implications of a transition to 100% renewable energy onto environmental justice issues. We will share examples of nations and communities working to ensure justice in the face of the renewable energy transition, and explore such important questions as:
- What needs to happen in order for the renewable energy future to be more just, and not less just, than the present?
- What kinds of government policies or grassroots efforts will lead to more equity?
- The transition to renewable energy will certainly be disruptive economically. What might that mean for the social and political power of currently disadvantaged populations?

Forever Trending Denim
Skinny jeans may still be reigning supreme in the denim stakes but it's time to branch out and discover the hottest denim trends to hit the rails this season. From on-trend new cuts, changes in classic washes and the introduction of some luxe embellishment, there's more to simple denim than meets the eye.
This season, all things vintage are seriously on-trend. From vintage-inspired floral print on dresses to retro 70s ruffles and more. Denim is no exception with the rise of the reworked vintage patchwork. This trend is best worn relaxed and loose and is a great casual alternative to the ever popular mom jeans. This cool style works denim patches in different washes and features cool frayed touches.
Embellished denim is so on-trend right now with jeans, jackets and shirts popping up covered with rich embroidery. Taking the embellished trend to the next level sees brands adding beautiful pearls to jeans for that true luxe finish. We love this pair from River Island with their pearl studded hems.
Frayed and distressed denim shows no sign of slowing down this season and is still the style go-to for every casual occasion. Keep your distressed denim looks up to date by choosing a paler wash than seen in previous seasons. The paler blue wash harks back to the classic 90s era of denim and the unforgettable Levi 501.
Style your new denim looks with some hot summer essentials to keep your look fresh, contemporary and on-trend. Team pale denim washes and loose cuts of denim with chic trainers. Make sure you go for a low-top pair that have a little something extra like pearl finishes, embroidery or a hint of metallic.
For upmarket style, channel some designer-inspired style with chunky heeled loafers topped with pearls for the ultimate in luxe denim style.

The School of Foreign Service in Qatar graduated its 10th cohort May 3, in a commencement service featuring main campus faculty and members of the Qatari royal family.
Fifty-one students received a Bachelor of Science in foreign service, the same degree that students at the main Georgetown University campus School of Foreign Service receive.
This year's commencement follows last year's graduating class of 62 students. The graduating class consisted of 36 men and 15 women from 22 countries.
The class joins 440 SFS-Q alumni who have graduated since the campus opened in 2005.
Aysha Al-Mudahka, CEO of the business incubator Qatar Business Incubation Center, delivered the commencement address. Al-Mudahka also serves on the board of education nonprofit INJAZ Qatar.
Graduates must work to promote diversity and inclusion in a changing world, Al-Mudahka said.
"Today, when insularity and indifference are flaunted like virtues, I call upon you to keep building bridges, with both compassion and dignity," Al-Mudahka said. "In the long run, no reprisal retaliation is sweeter than saying this: 'We never gave up.'"
University President John J. DeGioia travelled to Qatar along with other members of university leadership for the commencement exercises.
This year's commencement exercises were SFS-Q Dean Ahmad Dallal's first as SFS-Q dean, following the start of his term Sept. 1, 2017.
The students are graduating at a unique point in history, Dallal said.
"The Class of 2018 is graduating at a remarkable time in history in a rapidly transforming world, but they have the benefit of a Georgetown education that has prepared them to deal with the challenges of today and to contribute and help shape a positive future," Dallal said.

Do you let fear and negativity hold you back from going after your goals, whether they are related to fitness, health, career, family or other areas in your life? Do you find yourself saying "what-if" and then speculating on what the worst possible outcome could be if things don't go your way? We often approach new endeavors with fear in our hearts. It's challenging to change that perspective. We don't want to fail so we let fear guide us.
Someone once said to me, "Answer your worst 'what-if.'" Often times, you'll find that while the outcome may not be desirable, it's also not something that is life-altering. One the other hand, what if you tried something with the attitude that you could not fail, that given enough time and hard work, you would be successful. What if you turned your "what-if" statement into something positive? Focus on the very best thing that could happen.
Use the following strategies to help you overcome fear and push toward your goals.
Feed yourself with positive statements. Think of the best thing that might come of any situation. This might encourage you to try something you might not have otherwise attempted.
Surround yourself with a support network that believes in you. The people you invest time in should see your potential. Learn to recognize negative energy and remove it from your lives. Find a few people who support you no matter where you go. Make this your "go-to" group. Often times finding a mentor, someone you look up to, can be of great help.
Write down your successes to date: If you're anything like me, you accomplish something, celebrate it, and quickly move to your next goal. It's easy to forget the small milestones along the way. Make a list of all the things you have done of which you are proud. Post the list as a reminder. This will help keep you motivated to keep moving forward.
Allow yourself to fail: Great success often follows failure. It does so because a person learns from their mistake and is willing to try again, and try harder. Don't let failure keep you down. Use failure as a learning experience, and allow it to ignite your passion to succeed the next time.
Changing your perspective and the way you view things can make the difference in your ability to handle any situation and achieve your goals. Learn to let fear go and watch how quickly you soar!

During their occupation of Britain the Romans built an extensive network of roads which continued to be used in later centuries and many are still followed today. The Romans also built water supply, sanitation and sewage systems. Many of Britain's major cities, such as London (Londinium), Manchester (Mamucium) and York (Eboracum), were founded by the Romans. Britain is the largest European region of the former Western Roman Empire whose majority language is neither: A Romance language, A language descended from the pre-Roman inhabitants, though Welsh exists as a living minority language, with many borrowings from Latin, such as llaeth ("milk", latte), ffenestr ("window", finestra). Fragmentary use of Cornish lasted into the early modern period and the language has been seeing a renaissance since the late 20th century. Towards the end of the 4th century Britain came under increasing pressure from barbarian attacks, and there were not enough troops to mount an effective defence. After elevating two disappointing usurpers, the army chose a soldier, Constantine III, to become emperor in 407. He crossed to Gaul but was defeated by Honorius; it is unclear how many troops remained or ever returned, or whether a commander-in-chief in Britain was ever reappointed. A Saxonincursion in 408 was apparently repelled by the Britons, and in 409 Zosimus records that the natives expelled the Roman civilian administration. However, Zosimus may be referring to the Bacaudic rebellion of the Breton inhabitants of Armorica since he describes how, in the aftermath of the revolt, all of Armorica and the rest of Gaul followed the example of the Brettaniai. A letter from Emperor Honorius in 410 has traditionally been seen as rejecting a British appeal for help, but it may have been addressed to Bruttium or Bologna. With the imperial layers of the military and civil government gone, administration and justice fell to municipal authorities, and local warlords gradually emerged all over Britain, still utilizing Romano-British ideals and conventions. Laycock has investigated this process and emphasised elements of continuity from the British tribes in the pre-Roman and Roman periods, through to the native post-Roman kingdoms. In British/Welsh tradition, pagan Saxons were invited by Vortigern to assist in fighting the Picts and Irish, though Germanic migration into Roman Britannia may have begun much earlier. There is recorded evidence, for example, of Germanic auxiliaries supporting the legions in Britain in the 1st and 2nd centuries. The new arrivals rebelled, plunging the country into a series of wars that eventually led to the Saxon occupation of Lowland Britain by 600. Around this time many Britons fled to Brittany, Galicia and probably Ireland. A significant date in sub-Roman Britain is the Groans of the Britons, an unanswered appeal to Aetius, leading general of the western Empire, for assistance against Saxon invasion in 446. Another is the Battle of Deorham in 577, after which the significant cities of Bath, Cirencester and Gloucester fell and the Saxons reached the western sea.
Ambrosius Aurelianus, called Aurelius Ambrosius in the Historia Regum Britanniae and elsewhere, was a war leader of the Romano-British who won an important battle against the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century, according to Gildas. He also appeared independently in the legends of the Britons, beginning with the 9th-century Historia Brittonum. Eventually he was transformed into the uncle of King Arthur, the brother of Arthur's father Uther Pendragon, and predeceases them both. Due to Gildas' description of him, Ambrosius is one of the figures called the Last of the Romans. Ambrosius Aurelianus is one of the few people that Gildas identifies by name in his sermon De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae, and the only one named from the 5th century. De Excidio is considered the oldest extant British document about the so-called Arthurian period of Sub-Roman Britain. Following the destructive assault of the Saxons, the survivors gather together under the leadership of Ambrosius, who is described as: "... a gentleman who, perhaps alone of the Romans, had survived the shock of this notable storm. Certainly his parents, who had worn the purple, were slain in it. His descendants in our day have become greatly inferior to their grandfather's [avita] excellence. Under him our people regained their strength, and challenged the victors to battle. The Lord assented, and the battle went their way." Some basic information on Ambrosius can be deduced from the brief passage: Ambrosius was possibly of high birth and very likely a Christian (Gildas says that he won his battles "with God 's help"). Ambrosius' parents were slain by the Saxons and he was among the few survivors of their initial invasion. According to Gildas, Ambrosius organised the survivors into an armed force and achieved the first military victory over the Saxon invaders. However, this victory was not decisive: "Sometimes the Saxons and sometimes the citizens [meaning the Romano-British inhabitants] were victorious." Peter Korrel supports the view that Ambrosius Aurelianus and King Arthur might be the same person, a theory also supported by others debating the historicity of King Arthur. He points that all accounts about Ambrosius can be traced back to Gildas and all accounts about Arthur can be traced back to Nennius, with the two figures being very similar. Both figures have been connected to the Battle of Badon and have been portrayed as its sole hero. Their identity as kings is a later addition; they are originally depicted as leaders of the Britons in their wars with the Saxons. The Latin term dux bellorum can be applied to both of them. Both figures are of Roman descent. With Ambrosius, this is featured in both his name and stated background. With Arthur, this is implied, since the name seems to be derived from Artorius, the name of a minor Roman gens. Both figures are known for their valour. Ambrosius is featured as the one who manages to re-assemble the desperate Britons, encourage them to fight once again, and make a stand against the seemingly superior enemy. This would require personal courage. Arthur is reported to have single-handedly faced numerically superior enemies. Both figures are devout Christians whose victories are attributed to divine protection. In both cases, the Battle of Badon seems to be the final victory of a long war. Bedas states that Ambrosius started the war against the Saxons and both factions had victories and losses until the war concluded in the Battle of Badon. In Arthurian narratives, Arthur is said to have led the Britons in 12 victories, with the Battle of Badon being the last of them. Korrel admits that there is a significant difference. Ambrosius both won and lost battles, while Arthur reportedly never lost a battle. But this is probably the difference between a historical figure and one featured in epics.
The Battle of Badon (Bellum in monte Badonis or Mons Badonicus) was a battle thought to have occurred between Britons and Anglo-Saxons in the late 5th or early 6th century. It was credited as a major victory for the Britons, stopping the encroachment of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms for a period. It is chiefly known today for the supposed involvement of King Arthur, a tradition that first clearly appeared in the 9th-century Historia Brittonum. Because of the limited number of sources, there is no certainty about the date, location, or details of the fighting. The earliest mention of the Battle of Badon is Gildas' De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae ("On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain"), written in the early to mid- 6th century. In it, the Anglo-Saxons are said to have "dipped [their] red and savage tongue in the western ocean" before Ambrosius Aurelianus organized a British resistance with the survivors of the initial Saxon onslaught. Gildas describes the period that followed Ambrosius' initial success: " From that time, the citizens were sometimes victorious, sometimes the enemy, in order that the Lord, according to His wont, might try in this nation the Israel of to-day, whether it loves Him or not. This continued up to the year of the siege of Badon Hill (obsessionis Badonici montis ), and of almost the last great slaughter inflicted upon the rascally crew. And this commences, a fact I know, as the forty-fourth year, with one month now elapsed; it is also the year of my birth." The Ruin of Britain is unclear as to whether Ambrosius is still leading the Britons at this point, but describes the battle as such an "unexpected recovery of the [island]" that it caused kings, nobles, priests, and commoners to "live orderly according to their several vocations" before the long peace degenerated into civil wars and the iniquity of Maelgwn Gwynedd. Passages of The Ruin of Britain that address Maelgwn directly are sometimes employed to date the work from accounts of the king's death by plague in the 540s, but such arguments ignore the obvious apostrophe employed in the passages and the possible years of composition involved in the final collected sermon. The battle is next mentioned in an 8th century text of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People. It describes the "siege of Mount Badon, when they made no small slaughter of those invaders," as occurring 44 years after the first Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain. Since Bede places that arrival during or just after the joint reign of Marcian and Valentinian in AD 449–456, he must have considered Badon to have taken place between 493 and 500. Bede then puts off discussion of the battle, "But more of this hereafter", only to seemingly never return to it. Bede does later include an extended account of Saint Germanus 's victory over the Saxons and Picts in a mountain valley, which he credits with curbing the threat of invasion for a generation. However, as the victory is described as having been accomplished bloodlessly, it was presumably a different occasion from Badon. (Accepted at face value, St. Germanus's involvement would also place the battle around 430, although Bede's chronology shows no knowledge of this.) The earliest surviving text mentioning Arthur at the battle is the early 9th century Historia Brittonum, in which the soldier (Latin mīles) Arthur is identified as the leader of the victorious British force at Badon: "The twelfth battle was on Mount Badon in which there fell in one day 960 men from one charge by Arthur; and no one struck them down except Arthur himself". The Battle of Badon is next mentioned in the Annales Cambriae ("Annals of Wales"), assumed to have been written during the mid- to late-10th century. The entry states: The Battle of Badon, in which Arthur carried the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ for three days and three nights upon his shoulders (or shield) and the Britons were the victors". That Arthur had gone unmentioned in the source closest to his own time, Gildas, was noticed at least as early as the 12th century hagiography that claims that Gildas had praised Arthur extensively but then excised him completely after Arthur killed the saint's brother, Hueil mab Caw. Modern writers have suggested the details of the battle were so well known that Gildas could have expected his audience to be familiar with them. Geoffrey of Monmouth's c. 1136 Historia Regum Britanniae was massively popular and survives in many copies from soon after its composition. Going into (and fabricating) much greater detail, Geoffrey closely identifies Badon with Bath, including having Merlin foretell that Badon's baths would lose their hot water and turn poisonous. He employs aspects of other accounts, mixing them: the battle begins as a Saxon siege and then becomes a normal engagement once Arthur's men arrive; Arthur bears the image of the Virgin both on his shield and shoulder. Arthur charges, but kills a mere 470, ten more than the number of Britons ambushed by Hengist near Salisbury. Elements of the Welsh legends are also added: in addition to the shield Pridwen, Arthur gains his sword Caliburnus and his spear, Ron. Geoffrey also makes the defence of the city from the Saxon sneak attack a holy cause, having Dubricius offer absolution of all sins for those who fall in battle. The early sources' account that the Saxons were thrown back around this time seems to be borne out by archaeological evidence. Studies of cemeteries (at this point, the Anglo-Saxons remained pagan while the Britons were Christianized) suggest the border shifted some time around 500. Afterwards, the pagans held the present areas of Kent , Sussex, Norfolk and Suffolk, and the area around the Humber. The Britons seem to have controlled salients to the north and west of London and south of Verulamium in addition to everything west of a line running from Christchurch at the mouth of the Wiltshire Avon north to the Trent, then along the Trent to the Humber, then north along the Derwent to the North Sea. The salients could then be supplied along Watling Street, dividing the invaders into pockets south of the Weald in east Kent and around the Wash.

Never underestimate the effect that music can have on someone.
Okay so if you're reading this then this may come off as a little bit random and off-topic but I promise I'll try and link it in with the Changing Minds project!
So today, Easter Sunday, I was having, as I'd put it, "one of those days". What I mean by that is just a day where I'm in absolutely terrible form and just down for no apparent reason. Fun? No. However, my day changed at about 11.20pm. Maybe leaving it a little late but nonetheless I appreciated it.
My day changed when I heard a piece of music. One of my friends posted a cover of 500 Miles by The Proclaimers on her Instagram page she had made for singing. I had never heard her sing before. That one minute clip, to some people, wouldn't mean much. Anyone could tell she was a very talented musician, but with the day I was having, it was a lot more than just a nice piece of music.
When I heard that soulful, raspy voice, I was transported away for a whole 63 seconds. I'm not usually an emotional person but I was nearly in tears. To go from thinking so negatively about myself and the world and just wanting the day to be over, to whatever kind of release I got from listening to that piece, it showed me something. I had always acknowledged the affect music has had on me, but never quite found the words to describe it. Today, I found solace in music. I found hope in music.
So, going back to the project. Whatever way my mind wandered from negativity to this in about two minutes is anyone's guess. Anyways, I noticed that music had an affect on the clients too. In the group homes, there was music on. On a normal day, I wouldn't read into this. We have music on in the background all the time in our own lives, whether we're driving to work, going for a run or just relaxing in the comforts of our own homes. But today, I think music meant a lot more than what meets the eye to the clients.
In Negru Voda, not only was there music, but the clients performed music by singing and dancing. In Lazu, some of us were dancing with the clients when certain songs came on that they enjoyed, and the same in Techirghiol. The way their faces lit up (I remember one client in particular enjoying I'm Not The Only One by Sam Smith) just says to me not to say that music is just a pastime or hobby. It's so much more than that. It might bring back a good memory, or a bad one. It might describe an emotion we're feeling better than our own words ever could. For some people music is an escape, a release, even a reason they're still alive.
So on this long Easter weekend, that we're either having a nice family dinner, out having a good time with our friends or maybe even playing music, take a minute to appreciate the power of music.


text: Humans and nature have always been closely linked and this instinctive connection has not changed to this day. Biophilia is a discipline that translates this fact and applies it to a variety of subjects, including business and its design principles. Why? Because the relationship between a person and their environment can impact their emotional state, efficiency and interaction. Companies are therefore faced with the task of creating environments that inspire, motivate and support their staff. One solution is biophilic design because it brings the principles of nature into the office.

The robot is an intelligent mechanical device and in the year 1920, the first robot was invented by "Czech Playwright Carel Capek". It is a branch of a technology which deals with creation, designing, operations, etc. The term robotics were derived from the word robot. In present days, there are few types of robots are available such as serial type, parallel type, walking type and mobile type robots. The parts of the robots are power supply, grippers, controllers, end effectors, manipulators.
When we think of a robot, the first thing strikes our mind is that imitates a human. But in real terms, there is no exact definition of a robot. However, there are some basic characteristics that a robot should have like intelligence, energy, sensing and movement, etc. Some robots do the work by themselves to perform certain tasks. But, other robots need help from human beings. Because these robots are dependent. Robots are used in different applications such as military, space communication and medical applications.
Top Robotics Projects For Beginners
In present days, many engineering students are showing a lot of interest on robotic projects. They create lots of interest as compared to other. In academic level these projects on robotics are popular such as pick and place, line following, fire fighting, Hexapod, humanoid and wall tracking, etc. These robotics projects for beginners will helpful while doing the practice. So, we advise beginners to start these projects as these are capable of working for them.
Line Following Robotic Vehicle
A line following robot is a one type of robot, that follows a certain lane on which it moves. Lane can be a black lane on a white floor or magnetic field. The line following robot vehicles is being used in a variety of applications from being a guide at public places for automatic vehicles. Here, this robotic vehicle is designed which is made to move on a curved black lane sensed by a pair of sensors for both motors.
It consists of DC supply, and two motors and these motors are controlled by using a transistor which acts as a switch. A couple of sensors, each sensor comprising of an IR LED and a photo diode is placed under the circuit. The white floor is sensed by the two sensors and the motors are given the rotation accordingly. At the turning, on encountering the black lane, one of motors stop rotating with the sensor input. The working principle of sensor is, when IR LED generates light on the white surface then it gets reflected. When the reflected light falls on the photo diode, it reduces its resistance to control the conduction of the motor switch.
War Field Spying Robot using Night Vision Camera
A war field spying robotic vehicle is designed with a night vision camera which is used to take images even in dark places and transmit wirelessly to a TV receiver unit. These robots are used in military applications such as sending the information to the control unit and spy on enemy lands. This robot is controlled by using RF communication with a set of push buttons.
Metal Detector Robotic Vehicle
A metal detector robotic vehicle is designed to detect metals and these robots can be used to detect land mines. Land mines are unstable devices that are placed under the ground and it is very dangerous to detect those manually using metal detectors. Here, a metal detector is embedded in the robotic circuit and it is controlled by using RF communication.
At the transmitter end, to provide required motion to the robot, the number of push buttons is interfaced to the microcontroller. When any button is pressed, then the command is sent to the microcontroller which sends a binary data to the button. The Encoder is used to convert parallel data to serial data and this command is transmitted using RF module.
At the receiver end, this command is decoded by the decoder. Based on the command, the microcontroller gives relevant signals to the motor driver to drive the motors so that the robot moves in desired motion. A metal detector is embedded in the circuit that detects any metal and using buzzer it gives an indication.
RF Controlled Robotic Vehicle with Laser Beam Arrangement
The major applications of robotics are in the military and they can be used to survey enemy lands and destroy and detect targets. A robot can be embedded with a LASER gun, that can emit strong, focused monochromatic light that can actually spoil the targets. The major applications of robotics in the military are destroying and detect targets, survey enemy lands, etc. This robotic vehicle is designed which is embedded with a LASER pen and controlled using RF communication.
Microcontroller based Line Following Robotic Vehicle
This project is designed to develop a robotic vehicle which follows a specific lane and controlled by using a microcontroller. In this project, couple of sensors are used to sense the lane. Based on the input, the microcontroller gives appropriate commands to the motor driver IC to drive the motors accordingly.
Remote Controlled Robotic Vehicle with Touch Screen
The main purpose of this project is designed to control a robotic vehicle with a touch screen display for remote operation. A touch screen panel is used to give instructions which are transmitted and received by the robot to give appropriate motion of the robot and control the operation of pick and place.
Auto Metro Train that Shuttles between Two Stations
This project is designed with automatic start and stop mechanism such that the train stops at a particular time and starts after a certain time. It consists of an automatic mechanism to open and close the door and it counts the number of persons while entering into the train.
Pick and Place Robotic Vehicle with Soft Catching Gripper
This pick and place robot project is designed to pick up and place the objects using robotic vehicle. This robot consists of end effectors whose moment is controlled according to the motors. This robotic vehicle is controlled remotely using RF communication.
At the transmitter side, a keypad is interfaced to the microcontroller .When an appropriate key is pressed, and then the microcontroller generates a binary code for the key entered. This code is converted to serial form, and then it sends through an RF module and an antenna.
On the receiver side, two motors are used to give motion to the robotic vehicle and another two motors are used to control the movement of the gripper to pick any object and place it in the desired place. The commands which are sent from the transmitter are decoded and used by the microcontroller to give proper signals to the motor driver ICs.
These are the interesting robotics projects intended for beginners to mastering in robotic technology. In the academic level microcontroller based projects or robotic kits are very popular therefore these robotics projects for beginners will be quite helpful for students. Apart from this, any queries regarding these projects you can give your valuable suggestions by commenting in the comment section below.

Hosted by Kaiser Kuo, an American-born Chinese who has been living in Beijing for close to two decades, Popup Chinese's Sinica podcast offers an interesting mix of topics. I first learned about Kuo from a segment of "Americans in China" by "This American Life". The weekly hour-long show reminds me of Mark Maron's WTF podcast, in that, it's a bit rough around the edges and less structured than mainstream media.

Senior: Although I have mixed feelings about the school's overall curriculum, I have been grateful for many of the teachers who have taught here. This school heavily pushes STEM classes, mostly math, and leaves little room for electives until probably around junior or senior year. However, the teachers here (sometimes) recognize what we have to deal with and will encourage us to work our way through it. If stress is something you're trying to avoid, this is not the place for you! My hope is that the toughest times at SEM will be proof enough that we can handle the worst of college. I am also very grateful for all the help we got during the college admissions process - it's probably among the best in DISD. If I could change anything, it would be improving the quantity and quality of non-STEM classes students are allowed to take.

Because of the school's connections, I have access to so many great opportunities, as well as excellent fine arts staff that both support you. While I do enjoy many aspects of the school, the science and math department is kind of disappointing. My AP Physics teacher cannot teach to save his life, and he's technically not even qualified to be teaching AP. I've managed to pull myself through, but its disappointing when physics is what I want to pursue for my career.

Not only are academics at a very good level in this school but so is community, being here has given me the opportunity to grow and mature along with my fellow classmates. Coming from a graduating class of only 57 seniors, our relationship and bond with each other has given me the sense of like a second family to me along with teachers and staff too. Administration has greatly encouraged unity and looking after our fellow "sister" which is one of the reasons why I love this school. However a change that I would like to see is the school having more than one sport being available for students and more resources that can reduce stress and help with mental health - not only for students but for teachers as well.

How to Keep Viola Seedlings From Getting Leggy
Viola is both the common name and the genus for about 500 species of annual bedding plants and perennial wildflowers. A popular viola species is the pansy (Viola x wittrockiana, U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 to 8), which developed from wild violas. When growing violas, watch for leggy seedlings, or young sprouts grown to be tall and spindly. Often a product of imperfect growing conditions, this can be corrected or prevented.
Cut off unusually long shoots or stems with hand clippers. Pruning tall shoots encourages the plant to grow outward and helps maintain dense foliage.
Place viola seedlings in a sunny location. Light is needed after root emergence to prevent excessive stretching, and leggy plant growth is typically a sign of unmet light requirements. Alternatively, use a grow light. Place the light 4 to 6 inches above the seedlings and turn it on for 12 to 16 hours per day.
Turn seedlings sitting in the sun daily to encourage upright growth. When seeds remain in one position, they begin to "reach" toward the sun and may become leggy. Seedlings under overhead grow lights do not need to be turned.
Blow an oscillating fan on the seedlings for two to three hours each day. This helps simulate a "windy" outdoor environment and encourage thick stem growth.
Things Needed
- Hand clippers
- Grow light
- Oscillating fan

BULAN, Sorsogon – A 40-year-old police officer died on the spot after a lone gunman shot him at close range in Barangay Somagongsong here at about 4:20 pm, Thursday, August 24.
The police identified the victim as SPO1 Nestor Sanchez Austero who sustained three gunshot wounds to the head from a caliber 45 pistol.
The unidentified suspect fled with the victim's new Glock pistol and motorcycle, driven by the victim's accomplice.
The victim was about to leave the area, where he usually parked his motorcycle, with his wife when three young looking men approached them, one of whom shot him.
The police theorized that the victim's routine of sending off his teacher wife to Somagongsong Elementary School in the morning fetching her in the afternoon apparently was patterned by the suspects that led to his untimely demise.
A native of Leyte and former investigator and intelligence officer, the victim left his wife, Eugene and three children.
Meanwhile, the police have yet to identify the suspect who shot and killed Roland Gracilla at about 11:30 am, Wednesday, August 23, while the latter was managing his farm in Barangay Tugas, Matnog, Sorsogon.
The incident was reported to the police by Barangay Chairman Erma Guardian. [Bobot Estropigan Laguna/BicolToday.com]

Upcoming Talks
The genetic basis of clinally varying life history traits in Drosophila melanogaster and Arabidopsis thaliana

Chromosomal inversions are structural rearrangements that suppress recombination and allow alleles to be co-inherited. This feature, along with the fact that inversions form parallel clines on multiple continents and have large effects on adaptive traits, suggests that they play major roles in evolutionary processes, including local adaptation. However, despite many research efforts, little is known about the selective pressures acting on inversions, and identifying the genic targets of clinal selection they might carry remains a considerable challenge. My EMBO LTF fellowship proposal addresses some of these long-standing questions in Drosophila melanogaster, by focusing on the previously established link between body size, a major life history trait, and a cosmopolitan clinal inversion, In(3R)Payne. Briefly, this project will consist in (i) identifying body-size variants potentially under selection within the inversion, (ii) measuring the extent to which the inversion affects body size on multiple continents and (iii) establishing causality between putative targets of selection and body size variation. I will also present my PhD work on the genetic architecture of seed dormancy, a clinally varying life history trait that controls the timing of seed germination and is important for local adaptation in many plant species. In a nutshell, we found that more than half of the dormancy variation observed in Swedish Arabidopsis thaliana is due to multiple alleles at a single locus, the previously identified dormancy gene DOG1. In addition, field experiments showed that these alleles impact seedling survival by affecting the timing of seed germination in nature, resulting in a large fitness differential. Thus, dormancy appears to be regulated by a single, multi-allelic, large effect locus, and this work demonstrates that adaptive traits can have a relatively simple architecture and can sometimes be dissected genetically.

Catholic Charities' New Outreach Vehicle to Serve Rural Areas

Catholic Charities, St. Mary's Healthcare, and CDPHP introduce CC MOVE
Amsterdam, NY – Access to healthy, nutritious food is an ongoing challenge for needy New Yorkers in rural communities, and a lack of public transportation to food pantries and other supportive programs only makes it worse. It's a one-two punch to too many individuals, families and children.
A new initiative from Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany will help address that.
Together with partners St. Mary's Healthcare, CDPHP, and the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY, Catholic Charities today formally launched its Mobile Outreach Vehicle Extension – better known as CC MOVE. The mobile initiative – the first of its kind in the history of Catholic Charities – will identify and address gaps in services across the region.
Today's ribbon cutting and blessing of the CC MOVE RV took place at Centro Civico, a community-based non-profit that helps people with health care, education, immigration and citizenship, housing, recreation and after-school programs.
"With CC MOVE, Catholic Charities is addressing very real needs in the rural areas of our Diocese," said Vincent W. Colonno, CEO of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany. "I am incredibly proud of our staff, volunteers, and community partners who have come together to make this initiative possible. They've allowed us to better connect to the community and provide the services that individuals living in food deserts and other rural regions really need."
"There's not enough income in the household, and people need food. I have a young boy, and this is a help," said Lisa (last name withheld), who received services through CC MOVE in Amsterdam during the program's pilot year.
The CC MOVE RV will provide a place for case work and medical screenings, among other outreach services, and will bring much-needed support to residents in rural areas who would otherwise have limited access to programs and resources.
Catholic Charities and St. Mary's Healthcare in Amsterdam have been piloting the program in Fulton and Montgomery counties over the last year. With the help of the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY, they've identified local "food deserts," organizing mass food distributions and health fairs in areas with limited access to healthy and nutritious food. Visitors were connected to other available resources and received information on how to schedule an appointment for mobile case management.
Sponsor CDPHP has taken an active role in CC MOVE health fairs and food distributions during the program's pilot year, along with community partners Centro Civico and Creative Connections Clubhouse in Amsterdam, NY.
The Diocese of Albany is largely a rural region, spanning more than 10,000 square miles across 14 counties. More than 34,000 of the individuals Catholic Charities serves each year reside in rural counties. CC MOVE will better identify and address gaps in services across the region.
Vic Giulianelli, President and CEO of St. Mary's Healthcare, said: "The partnership between St. Mary's Healthcare and CC MOVE began with a short phone conversation about food insecurity between two Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Sr. Betsy Van Deusen (Catholic Charities' Director of Community Partnerships) and Sr. Joan Mary Hartigan (St. Mary's Healthcare Chief Mission Officer). It has grown into a great collaboration among many mission-driven organizations in our region who serve our poor and vulnerable neighbors. St. Mary's is honored to be part of this collaboration through delivering health services and volunteering to serve food each month," said
John D. Bennett, MD, president and CEO of CDPHP, said: "We're thrilled to support Catholic Charities' CC MOVE program, providing critical mobile outreach services to Amsterdam, Fort Plain, and Johnstown.This new resource will undoubtedly improve the overall health and wellbeing of the individuals residing within these communities."
Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara (D-Montgomery-Schoharie-Schenectady), said: "Catholic Charities has done tremendous work for our communities by providing invaluable support to people in need of a helping hand. Now, with its new mobile unit, CC MOVE, the organization can bring much-needed services to people who may not be able to access them otherwise. Over the last year, Catholic Charities has brought food, case management and health services to more than 2,000 men and women in rural areas. Its successful launch in Fulton and Montgomery counties makes me confident that Catholic Charities will continue making a difference in our region. I want to thank them for their commendable work and all that they do for our most vulnerable."
Ladan Alomar, Director of Centro Civico, said: "CC MOVE is the best example of community organizations coming together to make a difference! Due to economic challenges that many members of our community face, this is a gentle and respectful way of supporting and responding to the families and children in our community. We applaud the leadership of Catholic Charities and Wilhelmina Murray-Davis, Catholic Charities' Director of Disaster & Community Service."
John Sumpter, Outreach Director at Creative Connections Clubhouse, said: "These events are helpful, especially around the holiday season, with the weather and the high price of heat. CC MOVE helps to alleviate some of problems that families have. It takes a community to come together, and the food drops show that all local agencies really care about the individuals in our community."

4 Tips to a Hassle-Free Outdoor Party
Outdoor parties usually fall into two categories — get-togethers and blowouts. The first tends to be impromptu, involving neighbors or family dropping by. The second is planned weeks in advance, involving the entire neighborhood or the entire family tree. In both cases, the most important piece of the party puzzle is the people that bring it to life.
If you're the host, there is no reason to worry. By planning a crowd-pleasing, alfresco-friendly menu, minimal décor and simple activities, an outdoor event can be easy to host and fun to attend. Use my top four tips to plan a hassle-free fete outside:
By planning a crowd-pleasing, alfresco-friendly menu, an outdoor event can be easy to host.
1. Be Overly Prepared. Food, drinks and ice are all you need. Really. Just add people. Piece together a menu that works year-round, and tailor it to be served outside. Build it around a deceptively easy and delicious recipe like Mini Turkey Sloppy Joes. Made in minutes with pantry staples, they're equal parts hearty and messy — the perfect party food. Plus, they can warm in a slow cooker on the porch while the corn is roasting and the Cool 3-Bean Salad with Grapes is chilling.
Keep the beverage menu basic. Offer plenty of water and something colorful. Provide one or two options and call it a day. Set out a pitcher of fruit punch and serve it in interesting glasses alongside sweet garnishes.
Prepare to use a lot of ice, and purchase enough that will provide leftovers in the end — better safe than sorry, since nothing puts a damper on a good time like warm drinks and melted popsicles. Creamy summer foods made unsafe by high temps are even worse. So, store ice in the freezer, in coolers in the garage and in buckets and trays scattered outside. Replenish often, and if guests call on the way to the party asking if anything is needed last minute, request ice.
2. Make It Easy on Yourself. Create specific stations outdoors. Designate a beverage area with iced tubs, a corner for the grill, a long table and a big spread of grass for the kids to play. Let guests help when they offer — kids can set and decorate the table, and the grown-ups can maintain the grill. Here are some other handy tips:
- For large parties, consider using disposable cups, plates and silverware. Have fun with thematic colors and prints, or go green with supplies made of recycled materials.
- Place lined garbage cans in a couple spots to inspire guests to clean up after themselves.
- Consider paying a pair of young guests to keep up with cleaning during the party so you can enjoy the festivities with friends.
- Say yes when guests offer to bring items! Encourage them to contribute their signature recipes, or assign appetizers to those with last names beginning with A-M and desserts to N-Z.
- Ask guests whose talents lie outside of the kitchen to bring extra coolers, extension cords or chairs.
3. Stay Outside! Seems like a silly tip for an outdoor party, right? Yet, without some thoughtful prep, the party could migrate inside. It's most fun (and most convenient for families with young children) when guests of all ages are mingling in the same general vicinity. Make your outdoor space as comfortable as the indoor, and guests will want to remain outside. Here are some tips to keep the party outdoors:
- Cluster food spreads and seating in shaded areas. Take advantage of canopied trees and pop-up tents. Cover from the afternoon sun, and fresh flavors like the cilantro in Black Bean Salsa With Pineapple, will be even more refreshing than an air-conditioned house.
- Offer frozen treats throughout the day. Before anyone can even think about popsicles for dessert, cruise through the crowd with a tray of slushy beverages or a platter of frozen fruit wedges.
- Keep the hose handy all day long. Remind guests to bring towels, and invite them to dip, run and splash in baby pools, sprinklers and slip-n-slides during the party.
If you're planning to gather at a park, make the most of the entire venue. Assemble the event around the grill (and the Backyard Black Bean Burgers you'll be serving hot from it), but make sure the party spills over to the swings and horseshoe pit, too. Bring games like ladder toss and cornhole so guests can engage in fun, informal tournaments. Or, pull together simple crafting supplies to keep kids busy. And be sure to pack an empty cooler full of water balloons to stay cool during the sunniest hours of the day.
4. Try to relax. Keep all these tips in mind, and even small gatherings will feel like full-fledged blowouts — and every jam-packed blowout will feel as intimate as an unexpected get-together. But the key is that no matter how big or cozy the party, you'll be prepared enough to relax.
