All three, along with Alaska Anchorage, figure to be among the top teams this fall when the 2013 volleyball seasons begins.
Defending conference champion Western Washington is the preseason favorite in the GNAC Coaches poll receiving seven of 10 first-place votes.
The Vikings, who will be seeking their eighth conference title, are coming off a 24-4 season and are ranked 17th in the AVCA Division II national poll.
Central Washington (21-8 a year ago) earned two first-place votes in the coaches' poll and finished second in the balloting, five points back of their arch-rivals. The Wildcats also earned a No. 24 ranking in the inaugural AVCA poll.
Western Oregon (21-6) earned the remaining first-place vote in the coaches' poll and finished fourth, two points behind third-place Alaska Anchorage.
All four teams return players who earned first team all-conference honors a year ago.
The Vikings have two – All-American libero Samantha Hutchinson and middle blocker Kayla Erickson.
Hutchinson led the GNAC and ranked fifth nationally in digs (6.41). Erickson finished second in the conference in blocks (1.17) and third in hitting percentage (3.41).
Back to lead the Wildcats is middle blocker Erin Smith (5-10, Sr.), who ranked second in hitting percentage (.362) and sixth in blocks (0.95) in earning first team all-conference honors.
Outside hitter Julia Mackey returns for Alaska Anchorage after averaging 3.13 kills and registering 52 blocks in earning first team honors and sharing GNAC Freshman of the Year honors with Alaska Fairbanks outside hitter Sam Harthun.
Krissi Kemper was a first team all-conference selection last season for Western Oregon after registering a GNAC single-season record .425 hitting percentage and ranking fifth in blocks (0.95).
Kemper, teammate Becky Blees and Hutchinson are the lone returning statistical champions from the 2012 season.
Blees led the GNAC in total blocks with 114 averaging 1.33 per set.
The top returnees in the other major statistical categories include Monica Grimsrud and Kyndal Williams of MSU Billings in kills, points and assists, and Jennica McPherson of Western Washington in service aces.
Grimsrud ranked fourth in kills and fifth in points.
She averaged 3.64 kills per set finishing just ahead of Harthun, who averaged 3.49. She also produced 4.04 points per set to rank fifth in that category.
Williams ranked fourth in assists averaging 10.01 and McPherson finished second in service aces averaging 0.39.
The 2013 season for most GNAC schools begins the weekend of Sept. 6-7.
However, both Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Fairbanks will get an early start traveling to Hawaii for a series of matches beginning on Thursday, Aug. 29.
NEW COACHES: Four coaches will make their debuts in the GNAC this fall, including Mallory Larranaga of Alaska Fairbanks; Doug English of Cal State Northridge; Kara Peterson of Saint Martin's, and Gina Schmidt of Simon Fraser.

Big Metal Month was a new idea I had to keep up with some of the giant labels in heavy metal releasing new albums from well known bands. Since I have chosen to spend all of my time with dungeon synth and things no one else cares about, it is surprising to see some of metal's biggest releases pass without notice. Big Metal Month also sounds like a comic book which comes in an oversized magazine with lots of pictures. This obviously makes me happy. Please use this column to…Read More

ARCH ENEMY – War Eternal
Before I heard the new Arch Enemy album, I was worried. These guys have been going forever and, though they're hardly strangers to changes in line up, adjusting to a new front woman (especially after 14 years) is never going to be easy. I've quite enjoyed some of their old stuff, and this development, coupled with the new guitarist (Nick Cordle, it's his first album with them too) made me a little concerned. It's one of the few times I'm totally happy to admit that I didn't have any idea…Read More

So I was talking to my friend Cynthia. She and I have been sharing the joys and obsession of having Anna's hummingbirds in our gardens this winter. I've spent time at her house and together we have watched the birds at her feeders, starting to get a sense for the individuals that grace her yard. There's at least 3, and probably more.
Cynthia loves her hummingbirds and only gives them the best. She uses organic sugar to make their nectar ( and they do seem to prefer it). She uses glass feeders rather than plastic: she doesn't use plastic for her own food, so why use it for hummers?
She is also a superlative gardener: a Master Gardener in all senses of that phrase, so it makes sense that already she is plotting a large hardy fuschia hedge, and other plants for the winter hummingbirds.
A few months ago in the cold depths of winter, she planted the bulbs of paper whites: a kind of highly fragrant narcissus that you can encourage to bloom by planting early, and keeping in the warmth of your house. In the last week her paperwhites bloomed, filling her house with white flowers and fragrance. She decided to put them outside on her day off and share these flowers with the Annas she loves.
Now, you've probably all seen those scenes of shark feeding frenzies in PBS nature specials during Shark Week? Well, Cynthia ended up with an Anna's hummingbird feeding frenzy. Hummers kept zipping through, very excited, very fast. Some stopped to feed, but there was a lot of activity they didn't stay long. Cynthia said they flew by so fast they were a blur- hummer warp speed. There was probably a lot of hummer chatter. It's as if the hummers were throwing a party to celebrate the first flowers of spring.
When she told me about the frenzy, we spent some time talking about it. It makes sense that while hummers can get through winter on sugar water, it must be fabulous to be able to have that first real drink from a real flower, with real nectar, full of complex flavor. We laughed at how hummers are so tuned in to their environment, and especially the excitement and energy they brought to these new items on the menu. But then we thought about how humans are: back in the days I could eat chocolate, if someone showed up eating a glorious truffle, I would immediately hone in on her, ask her where she got it, and plan to get some myself at the earliest opportunity. Hummers and humans: not so different after all.

If you're relying on demographics to tell you about your customers, you're not getting the whole story. There's a better way—instead of looking at demographics, take a look at the lifestyle your audience enjoys as a key to what drives purchase behavior.
That's a secret that lifestyle brands have already discovered. Instead of pushing people into marketing brackets that don't work, like all women ages 18 to 65, these brands identify and reach out to people based on their interests and life experiences.
But a lifestyle brand also goes beyond that. These brands don't create a product and then find an audience to sell it to. They create products and services that are designed to enhance and grow the interests of that specific group.
Read on as we take a deeper dive into what defines a lifestyle brand.
Lifestyle Brands Reach New and Emerging Groups
Because these brands don't market their offerings to a set demographic, they open themselves up to emerging groups of people within the United States and the world. This includes the new affluent.
There are 1.5 million affluent, multicultural households in the United States, with a buying power of $3.2 trillion. And the new affluent doesn't just encompass cultures. It includes other groups that are growing in presence and in buying power, including the LGBTQ community, which represents a buying power of $790 billion.
Lifestyle brands know and understand that people in every demographic group have money to spend and common interests. That's why they transcend traditional marketing by reaching out to people of a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
Lifestyle Brands Do Marketing Differently
People who identify as part of a particular lifestyle aren't necessarily thinking about the money they're going to spend on products. They're thinking about how they best experience that lifestyle, whether it's imbibing a certain type of drink, living green or being an active, outdoors person.
Lifestyle brands reach that audience by marketing in new and innovative ways. Instead of deciding on a prescribed formula for marketing, they engage their audience where they are. They think through what types of content people would interact with—and they build their strategy around that content.
That means that marketing often looks less like traditional advertising and more like discussing, collaborating, and creating the actual lifestyle within a brand's community.
Lifestyle Brands Tell a Story
Let's build on that thought. Because lifestyle brands aren't as focused on traditional marketing and advertising, they delve more into blogging and social media. Places where they can tell a true story—and listen to the story their audience shares.
This dynamic of storytelling allows people to truly engage with a business and see how its offerings could enhance their lifestyle. Storytelling may focus on what a business believes in and stands for, but it will also include the stories of its audience members. These stories allow people to visualize and engage in their interests, whatever they might be.
Wylie & Co. works with a variety of lifestyle brands dedicated to being the best in their industry. Is that you? Let's set up a time to chat.

I love brown roof cities: Abeokuta, Ibadan. It may be because of my love for the Yoruba culture. A love that causes me to pay attention while the bricklayer tells the amala woman of his day; or as the beer parlor musician tells his stories to people too busy with pepper soup.
I see potential: in myself, in the Yoruba tradition and values, in Nigerians and in Nigeria. I want to tell what I see and I bid you listen. I want to tell some of the stories of the Yoruba, the Nigerian and thus the African man as he deals with this bitch of a life.
There, I have let my love for music, Fela Anikulapo Kuti in especial, into this. I admire his audacity; not just because he stood up to tyranny in government but because he sang to nations in his mother-tongue and asked only that they listen; because he sold the Yoruba culture, the African culture really, to a people who wanted us to be nothing if not an ashen copy of themselves. Westernization.
I'm heavily influenced by the passages and poems of Edgar Allan Poe. You may have guessed. My name is in part a tribute to him, and to the first character I ever created: Laolu. Laolu's story never got told but I never forgot him. So, L.P Alani. L.P Hartley is worthy of mention at this juncture. How beautiful the passages I culled from his books! It is an honor to share the same initial as him. I may someday write passages as beautiful.
Let's not forget Khalil Gibran. Or Gill Scott-Heron.
There, that's all you need to know for a start.
Laolu Poe Alani.

The Seal of Barbatos gives understanding of the singing of Birds, and of the Voices of other creatures, such as the barking of Dogs. He is a Great Duke, and appears when the Sun is in Sagittary, with four noble Kings and their companies of great troops. He breaks the Hidden Treasures open that have been laid by the Enchantments of Magicians. He is of the Order of Virtues, of which some part he retains still; and he knows all things Past, and to come, and conciliates Friends and those that be in Power. He ruls over 30 Legions of Spirits. His Seal of Obedience is this, the which wear before thee as aforesaid.
The Seal of Barbatos on the photo is an example. Every Seal is made specially for you with love and care. Before the engraving start we will in tune your energy combined with the Barbatos energy and we will project this in the Pentacle. So they are fully charged and ready to use. Before we ship it to you, we will consecrate it in our personal beautiful temple space.
Every Seal comes in a satchel and is wrapped in a piece silk. Slik contains the energy and the satchel is for save keeping the Pentacle. You will also receive an e-mail with instructions on how to work with your Seal. And of course you are free to design your own ritual.

I don't have a CR, and one reason is a personal nervousness about using B99 / B100 in a CR, specifically because of the emission controls needed to (almost) manage the issues with petroleum diesel. Those petrodiesel emission treatments prevent the use of high bio blends.
Petrodiesel has a higher volatility than biodiesel. It vaporizes much more easily making it more flammable and prone to evaporation.
The oil level increase is due to the use of the injectors to add another shot of fuel long after any compression ignition could occur. This raw fuel (petro, or bio) stays liquid and gets on the cylinder walls when the piston is down and about to start up on the exhaust stroke. The raw fuel droplets that have not made contact go out the exhaust valve and turbo into the cat where the latent heat causes the fuel to ignite there. Without dirty petro diesel that needs the after burn, there is no need for the after burn.
So, yeah, the chosen emission controls needed for dirtier petro make it unsuited for cleaner bio.
Petrodiesel also has water issues, but the immiscibility means that the slug of water gets in at once when a quantity is reached, rather than being consumed before a concentration level is reached.
How's that for putting a spin on a counterpoint?
If the quantity of carbonic acid increases in geometric progression,
the augmentation of the temperature will increase nearly in arithmetic progression.

I've always enjoyed naughty stuff like this; it's useful to me in most cases because I set my timer up on a 10 second interval, that way when I tell people in chat's that I'll be right back, it sends that message every 10 seconds (so not to annoy them) until I get back and press stop. :D
private void Spam(String messageToSpam)
// Using the SendKeys class (located in System.Windows.Forms) we will send our string.
// Using the same class we will send the enter key as a string.
Now just set up a timer and create a timer tick event; call the Spam method using whatever string you're going to spam and done. :D
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
// Send whatever the user types into the textbox.
I've made quite a few methods related to this that I won't be releasing, but can give you the DLL I've created that contains the chat methods I've been working on. :)

Actual Testimony
NY ACCIDENTS-Are you in the 'Zone of Danger'?
I was bike riding today on Glen Cove Road in Roslyn, NY, during a twenty mile ride. While riding with traffic on the extreme shoulder of the road heading South, I was struck with the realization that the cars and trucks driving within two feet of me was totally unnerving. Some might think that a 'buffer-zone' of only two feet is a zone of danger, and I'd agree. That's the last time I'll be bicycle riding on that road.
The reason I mention the 'zone of danger' is because it is a legal principle that allows a family member to recover money when their loved one suffers a horrific accident, provided you are within a 'zone of danger' to observe the terror and horror of the accident and the injuries that flow from that trauma.
If you get hurt while bike riding, the driver of the car, bus or truck that hit you might be totally at fault for causing your accident. While it may also be true that you were in a dangerous area of roadway, that legal principle of being in a 'zone of danger' would not apply to you. Instead, you may seek compensation for your injuries for the negligence of the driver who hit you.
However, the 'zone of danger' rule applies to someone who is with you, within sight of you; within touching distance of you who witnessed the tragedy. This legal concept allows that family member to recover money for the emotional horror and psychological injuries they may endure as a result of watching their loved one become terribly mangled and permanently injured.
That is another legal concept that lawyers use to show that someone who was in an accident was able to know, in minutes, seconds or moments before the impending accident that the impact was inevitable. It is that moment in time when your life flashes before you and you want to say everything you never had a chance to say to your loved ones; when you know you may not survive; when you realize that your time has come and you may not be going home.
Another name for 'Fear of impending doom' is known as 'pre-impact terror'. These concepts are firmly entrenched in the personal injury area of law in New York. When there has been a serious accident or even a death from an accident, the facts may support a claim for 'pre-impact terror'. What do I mean?
When an ambulance attendant arrives on the accident scene and talks with your loved one, the bicyclist who now is crushed under the wheels of a truck, and they are crying, in pain, or gasping for breath with terror-stricken eyes, those factual observations allow a personal injury lawyer in New York to fairly claim that the victim had conscious pain and suffering, and knew that their life was about to end. The victim who blurts out in gasps to the ambulance attendant "He blew through that red light...I couldn't stop..." will allow an attorney to claim the victim had a fear of impending doom prior to the accident.
Both of these legal concepts allow a victim and their family to properly claim compensation for pain and the suffering they suffered at the hands of a negligent driver.

Well, "a big snow storm is moving in"...and who knows what's going to happen to the hours just ahead. So here is a pre-blizzard blog. (The next entry will be November 4 - after Jackie and I return from a Chi Alpha/Campus Ministries trip to California.)
Incidentally, in the last two days, this site has been hit almost 60 times.
Hey everybody.....your zeal and commitment in this is wonderfully heartening to me.!
You're going to keep me going, and going, and going..... :)
(Actually....more and more I sense God's Presence in all of this and I feel in the process I am actually discovering an important part of myself for this season of life.)
Thank you....
...and now, back again, to stuff about Corporate Values.
The Seven Corporate Values that served us so well were/are:
Creedal unity of faith anchors our fellowship together. (See last Blog)
Interdependence with other churches of like faith is valued over independence competition, and absolute congregational sovereignty.
*Always seeking to be a unifying presence wherever we went.
*No pride trips privately or publicly.
*Instead, humility of heart and action...and looking out for all of our brothers and sisters in Christ....and the community at large.
*Staying with the creedal, bullseye, (see last blog) unless the relationship is far enough along to begin little debates...:)..."speaking the truth in love" and growing in Christ.
Lengthy times of both worship and teaching are essential in the formation of a people of God - as against - brief and culturally-bound programs.
*At the start, our services would go nearly 2 hours.
*No pigeonholed piety...or conveyor belt Christianity.
*As we grew, into the hundreds of people and multiple services, even then, we refused to push worship and teaching into smaller and smaller boxes. We kept having a strong offering of christian ed stuff...and leadership development stuff.
*Worship, we discovered, enters the realm of reality best when there is time for everyone to catch up in spirit, when there are non-structured moments, time to "be still" together, and time for the Spirit to breath His unique dimensions of life into the gatherings.
Informality, approachability and creativity are valued
over formality, propriety (got a dictionary?), distance and predictability.
*Chairs in arked formations....staff seated with the congregation....no one seated on a platform....time to linger after with one another and talk and pray.
*Staff mixing freely with people all day vv programmed into move faster and faster
*Almost as much space in the foyer as in the auditorium - with coffee ++
*Lots of people late coming into worship because of so many in the foyer?..could be sign of revival!
Volunteerism and wide participation (even by the "untested") is valued
over professionalism, spectatorism, and hiring for ministry.
*Our first staff hire was a family life coordinator....who wrote activities for families to learn together each week and helped us with our parenting and spiritual leadership with the very young. Children and the young do need special care. (That first staff person is now one of the city's best educators.)
*But, we refused to go pro with much else...weighing in on the end of trusting the Spirit with His choices and gifting.....and we conciously chose to go with less quality and more reality and accessability
Pastorally overseen spiritual gift expression and (often) consequent ministry development and formation is valued above top-down program construction, recruitment and slick organization.
*Every Sunday (virtually) was a time for listening and responding to the Spirit's prompts.
*Time and a clear and orderly process was allowed to facilitate naturally freedom with order.
As that came into place, we found that some people drove up to 50 miles (one way), because they sensed their lives so addressed by the Spirit of God.
(This is a whole other process which we will hopefully get to address here at some point. If you can't wait call 719-339-7746)
Personal uniqueness and freely chosen commitments are valued and to be protected from the natural pressures of corporate institutionalization. We will seek to stay as clear as possible from overt or covert manipulation.
*"What I sense God is calling me to do," must be kept ahead of "what we need you to do is."
* What are your gifts and joys?, where do you sense God's presence in your life? - ahead of - going on and on with a fading sense of purpose, and non-fruitful ministries perpetuated, thus "you must."
(This led us at times to stop ministries, just not start them, and feel affirmation and peace when a long-term leader said "enough for now:")
* It also led us to stumble into letting things be experimented with "that just might be God."
And now beginneth the practice.
Remember, Values are only of value (sorry!) if they are kept before a church as living ideas.
This can be done we found, if they are put in written form with occasional bulletin insert or handout.
They are only of value if the pastor/leaders take them in hand and periodically ask the hard questions - where are they clearly in play in what we are actually deciding and doing?
So what are the actual values of your fellowhip right now?
And what is reading this blog and listening to the Spirit pushing you towards?
Hope you engage seriously in these questions as a christian leader.
And that you will sense as you do that you are being led in the process to fresh life and strength.
May your values be His....and may every bit of your energy be focused well.
Feedback welcomed. email@example.com
See you again on the 4th.

I'm smiling because we drove 58! miles (including gravel roads) for the whole seven years we were in Nebraska to reach Christ Place. Why? Because it engaged and fed our mind, heart, and spirit like no other place. We left every Sunday...changed.
And we are still changed...and hopefully the world is too!
Kathryn for Raymond too!

Great memories! You left out something important: our motto: "A New Approach to a Day of Rest!" Those afternoons started with lunch at noon, and at 4-5PM, we didn't want to go home! "Let's continue at the partk!" AND we often felt fresher at the end! Certainly, we were ready for the week ahead.

This system is a new stackable modular building set, the idea being it represents the 'second wave' of colonisation, the first wave being the PUP colony buildings. These buildings are designed to be (only slightly) more comfortable and visually pleasing than the PUPs which are brutally practical, so would typically house the families and more white-collar colonists while the terraformers and roughnecks are stuck in the PUPs until whichever Conglomerate has bankrolled the colony sees fit to upgrade them.
The Mk1 consisted of a stackable core building, a small hab module, a slightly larger shop module, and a lift unit. After time to playtest them and think on it, the Mk2 has been slightly redesigned to be easier to construct and stronger once it is constructed. So far we have the central core which has an optional lift shaft inside it, a larger hab module, and a tunnel walkway that connects cores above ground. The set has been designed from the start to ease certain problems with stackable buildings while offering as many options as possible, and will be expanded over the next month or so until it's ready for release.
Here's a couple of renders of a complex put together just using the basic 3 modules on a square representing a 4'x4' board.

Chairman of Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) Board of Directors, Darnell Osbourne, addressed the history and future of the company's integrated resource plans during the second day of the 18th Platts Caribbean Energy Conference. Mrs. Osbourne said although only approximately six months have passed since assuming the position as Chairman of the Board of BPL, much has transpired to move the company forward quickly. In addition to an impatient Bahamian populace screaming for reduced electricity rates and uninterrupted electrical supply, the challenges faced from the onset were: missing funds from a vendor fraud scheme; goals not being set or met; and a lack of innovation, creativity and the will to implement and transform the company.
The Chairman said it was imperative that a change had to come in order for the company to survive. "BPL needed a leadership team that would build a strong and sustainable culture within our company. As a board, we desired to create and perpetuate a culture that recognizes and embraces shared values, attitudes, standards, and beliefs that characterize the goals of our organization. "To achieve this, it was necessary to establish a culture that would touch and concern each and every member and facet of the company. We had to begin at the very top. We needed to have a clear and consistent vision of where we wanted to take the company going forward. We were keen to create a working and viable image of the company being ever mindful that persons internally and externally had an emotional view of the company and that unfortunately, its public perception was generally unfavorable."
The board has made several recent appointments including Whitney Heastie to Chief Executive Officer of the management team, and Christina Alston as Chief Operating Officer. Mrs. Osbourne remarked that BPL has power production that embodies a safe, reliable, cost-efficient yet environmentally friendly operation, as a part of its future goals that meet the objectives of the Bahamas government. She said in this regard the board endorses six initiatives that also connect to the Government's National Energy Policy. They are: security of energy supply through diversification of fuels; modernizing the country's energy infrastructure; development of renewable energy sources such as solar, ocean energy, biofuels, waste to energy and wind; energy conservation and efficiency;
development of a comprehensive governance/regulatory framework to effectively support the advancement of the energy sector to be effectively able to facilitate the introduction of renewables and the diversification of fuels; and eco-efficiency in the manufacturing, agricultural and tourism sectors and government as leaders in energy conservation and the use of renewable energy. Mrs. Alston outlined how the initiatives of the Energy Policy will be implemented. The two-day conference was held at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, Cable Beach. It zeroed in on topics facing the energy sector in the Caribbean including Market Structure and Stakeholder Alignment, Financing for Small Countries, Regional Demand, Fuel Conversion Viability, Renewable Energy, Managing Distributed Generation and Integrated Resource Plans.

Xiaomi Launches New 599 Yuan ($87) Qicycle Children Bike
by May 2, 2017 5:12 am0
Xiaomi has launched a new product under its crowdfunding platform and just as was teased, the product is one for the kids. It is a children bicycle manufactured by Riding (Xiamen) Technology Co., Ltd who also manufactured the Xiaomi Qicycle foldable electric bicycle launched last year.
This version is specifically developed for the kids, with a design that is child-friendly and safe. The Xiaomi Qicycle children bike uses an ergonometric design and is without sharp edges that could easily injure the children. The seat is also very soft and the body covered with a protective cover made from foam. The hand bar is designed with an anti-slip property to make braking easy.
The Qicycle Children bike comes in two forms, one is without pedals and then the other with pedals. The one without pedals is to aid the child during development to learn to walk independently on his or her own. When the child has come of age, the pedals can then be installed. Thus, the pedals are detachable. Also, the chain is well protected that it doesn't come in contact with the child's body part.

Former Governor of Katsina State, Ibrahim Shema, has been accused of looting N50.5bn from the treasury.
This is the submission of a commission of inquiry set up by his successor, Aminu Masari.
The chairman of the commission, Ado Muhammed, made this known in the report submitted to Masari, who has vowed to use all legal means to recover the money.
"Now that the commission of inquiry has established that over N50.5bn was looted, we shall use all legal means to recover the money," Masari said.
"The looted funds belong to the people of Katsina State and we are ready to follow due process in the courts to retrieve the money from the officials of the past administration.
"The people of Katsina State need the money back so that it can be used to provide social amnesties to them.
"We are determined to retrieve the funds from those that looted same and no amount of legal huddles will prevent us from collecting the state's money.
"The commission of inquiry has used legal procedures to unearth the financial scandals from the documents that were presented before it.
"The state government will use the facts that were presented before the commission of inquiry to prosecute those that committed the offence.
"The Katsina State Government has no intention to leave the money. All those involved will have to return the money," Governor Masari said.
The governor said those involved had tried to stop the commission from sitting and caused the disqualification of Justice Mohammed Surajo, the former Chairman of the commission, by an appeal court in Kaduna.
Masari said the state government was determined to continue with the sitting of the commission "and the results had emerged and we are ready to continue with the procedure of recovering the money.''
Chairman of the Commission, Ado Mohammed, said it received 12 memoranda.

DeChurch L, Mesmer-Magnus JR. The cognitive underpinnings of effective teamwork: a meta-analysis. Journal of Applied Psychology. 2010;95(1):32.
Major theories of team effectiveness position emergent collective cognitive processes as central drivers of team performance. We meta-analytically cumulated 231 correlations culled from 65 independent studies of team cognition and its relations to teamwork processes, motivational states, and performance outcomes. We examined both broad relationships among cognition, behavior, motivation, and performance, as well as 3 underpinnings of team cognition as potential moderators of these relationships. Findings reveal there is indeed a cognitive foundation to teamwork; team cognition has strong positive relationships to team behavioral process, motivational states, and team performance. Meta-analytic regressions further indicate that team cognition explains significant incremental variance in team performance after the effects of behavioral and motivational dynamics have been controlled. The nature of emergence, form of cognition, and content of cognition moderate relationships among cognition, process, and performance, as do task interdependence and team type. Taken together, these findings not only cumulate extant research on team cognition but also provide a new interpretation of the impact of underlying dimensions of cognition as a way to frame and extend future research.

Tabata Method
A popular regimen based on a 1996 study[2] uses 20 seconds of ultra-intense exercise (at 170% of VO2max) followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated continuously for 4 minutes (8 cycles). In the original study, athletes using this method trained 4 times per week, plus another day of steady-state training, and obtained gains similar to a group of athletes who did steady state (70% VO2max) training 5 times per week. The steady state group had a higher VO2max at the end (from 52 to 57 ml/kg/min), but the Tabata group had started lower and gained more overall (from 48 to 55 ml/kg/min). Also, only the Tabata group had gained anaerobic capacity benefits.

*I was sent a Milk Snob cover for the purpose of this review. All opinions are mine and are honest!
Trekking around with a newborn in winter can be tricky. Covering them up, juggling the diaper bag, van keys and so much more can be a challenge. I currently have a foster baby and wanted to find a way to keep him covered and shielded from the harsh cold wind. I did a little research and found a company near me called Milk Snob.
Milk Snob sells covers that are perfect for the busy mom! Their covers are great for car seats (what I am currently using it for!), nursing cover, shopping cart cover, high chair cover, and even a swing cover. The bonus for me as a foster mom is that it also keeps baby hidden from the public. I'm not sure if you have seen strangers in stores but babys are magnets to people! Everyone wants to ooh and awe over the baby and ask a million questions. It's sweet, but there are germs everywhere and I want to protect the littles in my care!
I am all about Milk Snob helping me out with their awesome breathable, super soft covers! Did I mention that they are machine washable?!
Head over to MilkSnob and check out their awesome selection! *This would make an awesome gift for the expecting mom on your list…or new mom, or foster mom! 🙂

You have probably already watched this, and had your whole view of the Nativity altered. The inns weren't full because of the census; they were refusing to give her shelter because she was pregnant.
No-one would come to her, no-one would help her. But the prostitute heard his pleas and came to her side and didn't leave until He was safely delivered. The shepherd put down his weapon and kissed the feet of his Messiah. The Magi put their heads to the floor in worship.

Shilpa Shinde who, rose to fame with TV serial Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai, was one of the favourite contestants on the controversial reality show Bigg Boss 11. Shilpa was called with the tag 'maa' on the show by Arshi Khan, Akash Dadlani and other contestants on the show.
Shilpa post her win in an interview said, ''I didn't have much of an idea about 'Bigg Boss' or how to handle the whole thing. Inside, they were different kinds of people. I am quite emotional and I cannot fight for each and everything. There's a limit to my short temperedness. I believe that keechad mein patthar feko toh keechad apne pe hi aata hai. So that's how I handled the difficult moments. I was not involved in playing politics or gossiping behind people's backs."
On her plans of Bollywood debut Shilpa said, ''I am expecting some good offers from Bollywood. There was a time when I was not open for movies and was happy doing television though. But now I'll like to do good films. If I get a small role in a film backed by a big banner, I won't mind. I just want to do quality work."
Shilpa sharing her experience of Bigg Boss 11 said, ''Puneesh Sharma gave me the support though a little late. And I got a lot of support from Salman Khan and that's a huge honour. There were times when I was hurt and I was not able to react. But he understood it as I believe he's also emotional. In fact, lots of people call me 'TV Ki Salman Khan' and 'Dabangg' on the sets of my TV shows."

2007-09-23_To Jerusalem_Matthew 20.17-34_SL
To Jerusalem
Matthew 20:17-34 | Shaun LePage | September 23, 2007
I. Introduction
A. Old Legend: Man fell into quicksand; Confucius: "It is evident that men should stay out of places such as this." Buddha: "Let that man's plight be a lesson to the rest of the world." Muhammad: "Alas, it is the will of Allah." Finally, Jesus: "Take my hand, I'll save you."
B. Matt wrote to answer: Who is Jesus? Why did He come? What did He do? What difference does it make? All the difference!
C. Last few steps before Jesus enters Jerusalem make it clear: Jesus on a mission! High cost!
II. Body—Matthew 20:17-34
A. Jesus predicted the cross—the Life became the condemned. (17-19)
1. (17) "to Jerusalem" 16:21: "From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things…" 16:13: Caesarea Philippi; 17:1: Mt. Hermon; 17:22 Galilee; 17:24 Capernaum; 19:1 Judea; 20:29 Jericho; 21:10 Jerusalem;
2. (18-19) 7 specific, amazing prophecies: 1) delivered to Jews; 2) condemned to death; 3) handed over to Gentiles (Romans); 4) mock; 5) scourge; 6) crucify; 7) raised 3rd day—at least third time predicted, first time to say "betray, mock, scourge and crucify"; not told how disciples responded this time—remember 16:24?; Luke tells us they didn't understand any of it—preconceived notions clogged their ears
3. Again, v.16—world's upside down; The Life, Lifegiver was going to die
4. First great contrast: Jesus chose death to impart life—Judas, Jewish leaders and Gentiles (Romans) chose to betray, condemn, mock, flog and crucify.
B. Jesus refused a request—the first became the last. (20-24)
1. (20-21) Zebedee's sons were James & John; "right and left" places of honor; Not listening? Going to die—jockeying for best throne? Last thing they heard was prophecy in 19:28 (12 on thrones); ambitious mother? "can't say no to mom!"?
2. (22) "Don't know what you're asking"—thinking only of honor, position and prestige but ignoring the cross or "the cup" (OT prophets "cup of wrath"); foolishly "we can" (not just mom's idea)—glory without the cross; Jesus was patient with them…
3. (23) in reality they would share the cup, but still didn't know what they were asking and best to leave it that way for now. James first of 12 martyred (Acts 12); John died in exile on the prison island of Patmos;
4. Jesus did not grant request; first (honored disciples) became the last in a sense—sought honor in this life but got shot down; really a prayer! asking Jesus for their will, not the Father's (how often might God say to us when we pray: You don't know what you are asking"); Jesus—in flesh—submitted Himself to the Father's authority for a time, but one day will judge with the Father
5. Second contrast: Jesus stepped down from His throne, 12 fighting over theirs; Jesus chose to step down from His position of honor in submission to the Father—the wife and sons of Zebedee chose to lobby for honor and position.
6. (24) selfish lobbying for honor caused trouble with the other 10
C. Jesus taught true greatness—the King became a Servant. (25-28)
1. (25) Jesus called the self-absorbed disciples together—teachable moment, preparing disciples for His departure; bad example of Gentile rulers—typically tyrants
2. (26-27) "Not so with you"—again, v.16 upside down; great=servant, first=slave; one of great leadership lessons of NT—servant leadership; did not condemn "greatness" or "authority" but the wrong understanding of and abuse of—we need God's definition of success; Dr. Paul Rees wrote, "If you want a picture of success as heaven measures it, of greatness as God views it, don't look for the blaring of the bands on Broadway; listen, rather, for the tinkle of water splashing into a basin, while God incarnate, in a humility that makes angels hold their breaths, sponges the grime from the feet of His undeserving disciples."
3. (28) Jesus greatest example of servant leadership (not inferior, but choice)—Ph2:5-8; purpose statement: came to serve and give his life as a ransom (associated with idea of redemption; only biblical Christianity—helpless humanity, God paid highest price to purchase those He loves! suffering servant of Is 53 (Messiah a guilt offering)
4. 3rd contrast: Jesus (truly great) chose to give up His great authority so that he could serve—the Gentile rulers chose to lord their little authority.
D. Jesus granted a request—the last became the first. (29-34)
1. (29-31) large crowd, no one had compassion for 2 blind men—"rebuked…be quiet"—thought Jesus was going to Jerusalem to establish kingdom, better things to do than deal with blind beggars; "Son of David"—acknowledged Jesus as Messiah
2. (32) Who stopped? Jesus (one the crowd was following); asked same basic question He asked in v.21;
3. (33-34) "we want our sight" (just as selfish as throne request? Maybe, but "mercy…sight" quite different than early reward; Beautiful words: "Jesus had compassion" (at least 4th time); touched and healed (no longer told to be quiet as in past); links death and healing ministry—not a random story; death of the Suffering Servant of Is53 closely linked with healing; 8:16-17—Jesus fulfilled this prophecy during His earthly healing ministry. No biblical reason to expect on-going fulfillment—physical healing in the atonement. We're healed of sin because of the cross (1 Pet 2:24-25); ultimate physical healing later—in heaven (Rev 21:4); literal healing authenticated Him as Messiah and His message—notice: Jesus granted this request because it was the will of the Father (part of Jesus' earthly healing ministry) so "the last became first"
4. 4th contrast: Jesus (Son of David) had compassion, but crowd (nobodies) rebuked and tried to shut them up
III. Closing (back of handout): Two great truths stand out here: Work of Christ and Example of Christ
A. The Work of Christ
1. cross, cup, why? Ransom many (one of first pictures of God—seeking sinful Adam; God a policeman? No—Father seeking lost child); compassion for desperate, full of mercy
2. Ask yourself:
a) Am I ransomed/redeemed? 1 Ti 2:3-6; Col 1:13-14
b) Am I living like it? 1 Co 6:18-20
B. The Example of Christ
1. Jesus held Himself up as the perfect example in v.28; The First became last;
a) Lifegiver became the condemned (ultimate sacrifice for others);
b) Son submitted to the Father;
c) the King became a Servant;
d) The Lord had compassion for the lowly
2. Ask yourself how God wants you to follow the example of Christ:
a) Do I demand a crown or choose a cross of obedience like Jesus?
b) Do I lobby for a throne or drink the cup of God's will like Jesus?
c) Do I selfishly seek power or selflessly serve like Jesus?
d) Do I shut out the needy or have compassion like Jesus?

Some thought that Cleary used the Flyers as leverage to get a deal from Detroit. While that may or may not be true, the fact is that Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren is not mad at Cleary... at all. Holmgren told NHL.com that he "can't fault" Cleary for the decision he made and that Holmgren "might think more highly of him now than two days ago." Pretty high praise for a guy who is either super-indecisive or incredibly savvy.
Cleary, 34, played in 48 games last season for the Red Wings scoring nine times and dishing out six assists. The 6'0", 208 lbs. winger scored 12 or more goals in each of the six seasons prior to the 2012-13 lockout-shortened season.
Fans were not happy when they found out the Flyers had signed Cleary then, once he skipped training camp, they were mad he skipped. Based on how all of this played out and all of the drama surrounding a relatively marginal player, it is expected that Cleary will be booed by Flyers fans when the new Eastern Conference Red Wings come to the Wells Fargo Center on January 28th.

Unit: Soil Science Lesson 1 Objectives • Define the upper and lower limits of soil • Model the definition of four soil formation processes • List and describe the five soil formation factors Soil Depth Soil Depth is the part of soil that supports plant growth Upper Limit is the top of the soil where top soil meets the earth's atmosphere. Lower Limit is the area between the bottom of the soil and parent materials Depth Class Soil Depth Very Deep >60 Inches Deep 40 inches – 60 inches Moderately Deep 20 inches – 40 inches Shallow 10 inches – 20 inches Very Shallow <10 inches The Four Processes of Soil Formation ≈ → + - • Transformations: Weather or breakdown of sand and formation of clay minerals, transformation of coarse organic matter into decay resistant organic compounds. • Translocations: Movement of soil parts within the profile and/or between horizons. Over time, this process is one of the more visibly noticeable as changes in color, texture, and structure become apparent. • Additions: Materials added to the soil, such as decomposing organic matter or new mineral materials deposited by wind or water. • Losses: Through the movement of wind or water, or uptake by plants, soil particles or chemical compounds can be eroded, leached, or harvested from the soil, altering the chemical and physical makeup of the soil http://www.salinitymanagement.org/Salinity%20Management%20Guide/lz/lz_1.html Five Factors of Soil Formation • Parent Material – Parent rock from which the soil is formed • Climate – Precipitation and temperature determine soils • Topography – The lay of the land influences erosion • Biological Factors – Organisms have a major part in soil formation • Time - It requires many years for soils to form Parent Material • Parent rock from which a soil is formed helps determine soil characteristics. • Parent materials influence the formation of soils by their rates of weathering, the nutrients that they supply, and the particle sizes that they contain. • A young soil is more influenced by the parent material characteristics than mature soils • Particle size has an impact on the properties of soil in the field. Climate • Climate is a dominant factor in the formation of soils. Climate determines soil. • The two most important components of climate that affect soil are precipitation and temperature. • In areas of high rainfall there is intense weathering and leaching resulting in acid soils as lime is leached through the soil. • Erosion of sloping lands removes top layers of soil and deposits them down slope. • Changes in temperature strongly affect the rate of weathering. Different rates of expansion and contraction bring about cracking and peeling beginning the breakdown of parent rock. Biological Factors • Living plants and animals have major significance on the development of soil. • The type and amount of organisms present are influenced by climate • Microorganisms help develop soils by decomposing organic matter and forming weak acids that dissolve minerals faster than would pure water. Topography • Due to erosion, hill sides typically have thinner A and B horizons than more level areas, given the same parent materials and climate. • Soils on flat areas will have more water passing through them vertically than soils on steeper slopes and can often be more leached. • The profile on gentle slopes will be generally deeper, sustain more luxuriant vegetation, and contain more organic matter than soil profiles on steeper slopes. • In our hemisphere soils on west and south facing slopes receive more direct rays from the sun. Therefore, are warmer and drier than east and north facing slopes. Time • It requires time, up to about a million years, to form soils. • Rocks like granite are extremely hard to decompose and softer rocks such as limestone take less time. • As soils age they differentiate into defined profiles consisting of three different layers (A horizon, B horizon and C horizon). • A recognizable soil profile may develop in as few as 200 years or, under less favorable conditions, take several thousand years to develop

Jobs Increase in Albany, Unemployment Down in September
Thursday, October 26th, 2017
State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said today metro Albany's unemployment rate fell in September as the number of jobs increased and unemployment claims declined.
The September unemployment rate, at 5.1 percent, was down from 5.8 percent in August. The September rate compares favorably to last September when the rate was 6.5 percent.
"The combination of a falling unemployment rate and an increase in the number of employed residents shows a city on the rise," Butler said. "Seeing the number of jobs increase is always a good indicator. However, seeing the number of employed Georgians increase is the ultimate positive result."
Butler said Wednesday that in September jobs grew in metro Albany by 300 to 62,200. The job growth came in trade, transportation and warehousing, along with local government. While metro Albany gained jobs in September, the total number of jobs was down by 100 from a year earlier.
The number of employed residents rose by 1,171 to 64,019. From September a year ago, the number of employed residents was up by 1,462 from 62,557.
Unemployment claims were down by 14.4 percent to 369. Claims were down in administrative and support services. When compared to last September, claims were down by 13.2 percent, from 425.
"The city continues to head in the right direction," Butler said.
Employ Georgia, the GDOL's online job listing service at employgeorgia.com showed 619 new active job postings in metro Albany for September.

Sometimes, while driving home I have some ridiculous thoughts.
Recently that thought was just this:
"What if cats were to begin an apocalypse?"
I feel as though this may be what it would be like. No, I don't think cats will have laser eyes, or anything like that…I just believe there MIGHT be some giant cats floating through space, piloting ships shaped like cats, and one day they may descend to Earth, and…well…
This is where it will leave us.

Bottle Packaging for Wine, Spirits & Champagne
For dispatching bottled goods, using this range of bottle boxes will help to prevent damages and returns. The bottle packaging consists of corrugated cardboard outer cases with inner polystyrene cases, providing protection for 1,2,3,6 or 12 bottles of spirits, wine and champagnes.
This glass bottle packaging is made from biodegradable materials and can be used again or recycled. The flat-packed bottle boxes are easily assembled. Specially designed to hold bottles securely during transit, they are approved by the Post Office for mailing glass bottles. Each bottle box offers complete protection thanks to the expanded polystyrene inner, which avoids breakages and spillages.
New to our range are our AirPack bags for bottle packaging. These can be supplied with or without the external corrugated cardboard box, ready to inflate on demand as and when needed.

There are several options for choosing bottle protective packaging, ranging from a single cylinder bottle box to carton packs for two, three, half a dozen and a dozen bottles. The benefit of this postal bottle packaging is its snugly fitting expanded polystyrene that holds the wine, spirits, beer, or champagne bottles in place. This is further protected by a strong and sturdy cardboard box, guaranteed to stop the bottles from moving around.
Our glass bottle packaging is smart and professional. It is the perfect means to transport a vintage wine collection. For extra security, the carton boxes can be sealed with one of our adhesive tapes.
Whether used by wine merchants or gift companies, it is vitally important to ensure the safe arrival of bottles during transit. All the items in this range of bottle boxes will more than match up to requirements, the perfect solution to these fragile packing needs.

The United Soccer Coaches announced its staffs of the year for each level of competition associated with the prestigious organization that includes the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA), National Association of Interscholastic Athletics (NAIA) and Junior College at Division-I and Division-III for both men's and women's teams.
Genesee Community College was recognized as the Junior College D-III Staff of the Year for the men's division Dec. 13. USC will honor GCC at its annual convention and awards banquet Jan. 19, 2018 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Genesee Community College men's soccer staff of head coach Ken Gavin and assistant coach Josh Carpenter led the 2017 GCC men's soccer team to its first national title in Herkimer, N.Y. in November. An often overlooked, but vital part to Genesee's staff is athletic trainers Amber Nichols and Jeff Engels, who assisted the coaches and players throughout their championship run. The Cougars finished their magical season on a 10-game winning streak and a 20-game unbeaten streak.
The United Soccer Coaches (formerly known as the National Soccer Coaches Association of America / NSCAA) is an organization of American soccer coaches founded in 1941. It is the largest soccer coach's organization in the world, with more than 30,000 members. The NSCAA was rebranded as United Soccer Coaches about four months ago in early August and is based out of Kansas City, Mo.

Second flight was on Sunday the 24th. This flight lasted for about 45 minutes, bringing the total time in air to one hour. Thirty-nine left.
The good news is that the door pin on the passenger side worked. I noticed some puckering on the pilot side today, so I will repeat the mod on the other side.
The efforts to reduce the rudder stiffness worked.
Today was a hot day which mad me think about cooling: specifically of the Dynon. The Dynon does not have any fans. After the flight it was hot near the Dynon. I am thinking a NACA style duct may be a good idea to promote cooling of the electronics.
The flight was a basic repeat of the first flight, with the exception of attempting slower flight. I took the plane down to ~50MPH and experienced the same shudder\bobble that I felt in the plane I transition trained in.
When I took off, winds were calm and mostly down the runway. When I landed I had a good cross wind.
During the landing the plane certainly seems to want to shuttle cock into the wind. That or there is a left yaw tendency. I checked the rudder alignment and it appears fine. If the third flight exhibits the same behavior then I will adjust the dorsal fin.
This landing was another firm landing due to flaring too high. I have also noticed that adding power to attempt to slow the settling will result in a ballooning. Adding power just makes the plane climb.

On Earth Day 2011, I joined more than 75 volunteers at Rocky Neck State Park in East Lyme to complete a beach restoration project two years in the making. Men and women from across the state gathered to plant native vegetation to maintain the fragile dune system and build a sustainable habitat for wildlife.
But most importantly, many of the volunteers also brought their children and grandchildren.
We are proud of our beaches and waterways in Connecticut, and we must all lend a hand to keep them clean and safe for future generations. By teaching young people at an early age the importance of preserving natural habitats, we ensure that the children who today play in the sand while planting new vegetation are able to enjoy these same beaches tomorrow with their own children.
I am proud to have played a key role in securing $1.5 million in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that enabled Save the Sound to repair the wildlife sanctuary in East Lyme. This project restored a collapsed structure that is the lifeline of the Long Island Sound ecosystem.
As they do with projects all along the coastline, Save the Sound spearheaded the Earth Day project, and the turnout was tremendous. Southeastern Connecticut came together and turned out as a community, and a sizable contingent of cadets from the nearby Coast Guard Academy provided a significant boost. The Academy has been an invaluable partner in protecting the Sound and green spaces around New London. It is a legacy cadets learn about when they arrive at the Academy, and one they live out during their four years in New London.
Of course, the effort to protect the Sound extends to Washington, D.C., as well. I am working with Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, my colleagues on the Congressional Long Island Sound Caucus, and Save the Sound to advance the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act, which would ensure that resources are there for continued pollution reduction, habitat restoration and education initiatives.
The waterways of eastern Connecticut belong to us all, and the onus is on each of us to be good stewards, handing the Sound to future generations in even better shape than we received it.
Congressman Joe Courtney represents the Second Congressional District in Connecticut. He is a founding member of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition and the Green Schools Caucus.

Gonna Get Myself Connected!
By Lenny Rudow
Even if you have an unusual gift for gab, your smartphone probably exchanges information with more different players in 60 seconds than the number of people you talk with during an entire day. Bluetooth, apps, Wi-Fi, and satellites conspire to connect anywhere, anytime in countless devices we use these days — and soon, they'll be slinging information around your boat, too.
A new wave of modern multifunction displays (MFDs) has shattered what we've come to expect from our marine electronics, and is likely to make nearly every unit made prior to 2012 seem obsolete in short order.
1. The FUSION-Link mobile app lets you converse with your boat's Fusion stereo (2), giving you full control of the system from your phone or tablet.
Only a decade ago, our helm stations were elevated from stand-alone units to networked systems, but in the past few months, we've seen advances that make networked nav systems seem passé.
The latest trend in modern electronics? Interconnectivity. If you think your smartphone causes a lot of chatter, wait till you discover how talkative your boat is about to become.
Wi Not?
One of the latest developments in marine interconnectivity at the helm first came from an unlikely candidate: Standard- Horizon. Their new CPN1010i and CPN700i, a pair of MFDs that can be had for under $2,000 and under $1,500, respectively, have built-in Wi-Fi. When these units hit the market, it suddenly became possible to bring up Internet Explorer 6.0 right at the helm, without requiring a separate full-blown onboard computer. In the blink of an eye, a manufacturer whose nav products are commonly thought of as mid-range and relatively inexpensive made connectivity a reality, even on small boats.
Less than one year later, Raymarine's introduction of the e7 now takes inter-unit connectivity a step farther, by adding apps and Bluetooth capability to the Wi-Fi mix. Get the Raymarine Viewer app, and you can use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch as a screen for your very own portable MFD viewer. Chartography, the sonar screen, radar, thermal night vision — anything that can be seen at the helm — can now be viewed from the palm of your hand, anywhere onboard. But this conversation is not all one-way. By putting Bluetooth to work, you can also use your i-device to play music on the boat's stereo system. Controls similar to those on the i-screen can be accessed via the e7's touch-screen, allowing you to play and pause tracks, skip forward, or go backwards into your playlist.
Having Wi-Fi inside your little box o' navigation also allows for some other interesting possibilities, which would've seemed impossible just a few years ago. You can pre-plan trips and routes, for example, without the need for a data card or computer program. Navionics Mobile can discuss matters directly with the e7, thanks to its Plotter Synch ability. Just do your planning at home on your iPad or iPhone, bring it with you to the boat, and your chartplotter will converse with your chartography app to wirelessly download the data.
3. With built-in Wi-Fi, the Standard-Horizon CPN1010i can run Internet Explorer 6.0 right at the helm, while (5) Raymarine's e7 features Bluetooth connectivity as well. The e7 can share what's on the MFD screen with an iPad (4), iPhone, or iPod Touch. You can also beam music up to the e7 from your Apple device.
Sounds Groovy
The latest newly connected players in the market are the FUSION stereos with their FUSION-Link, new this fall. Here, a combination of connective technologies is at work, but it's a different combination: The stereo interfaces with a wireless DHCP Ethernet router, auto-configures to the network, and speaks with your smartphone (Apple or Android) via a FUSION-Link mobile app, allowing full control of your boat's multi-zoned audio system from your phone.
Although the stereo may not be the most important electronic item on your boat, this use of app-applied technology is growing in other ways, too. Would you like to have some measure of control even when you're miles away from the boat? Check out systems like Siren Marine, which provides a monitoring and control interface with your boat via an app (iPhone or Android) along with the use of onboard sensors. You can preset the app to send text messages to your phone if problems like a low battery, high bilge water, or a shore power failure occur. You can even set it up so that your own boat can "call" you if someone steals it — and its GPS coordinates will pop up with a link to Google Maps. And before calling the watercops, you can talk right back to your boat via the same app, and tell it to shut down the engines.
You'll soon also be able to give your boat remote marching orders from anywhere you have cell service, with a system called EmpirBus NXT, an onboard digital switching system that offers control via an app on your phone — stay tuned.
Just a few decades ago, we had standalone units. There would be a chartplotter, fishfinder, and radar all taking up space at the helm. We'd have to operate each separately.
Though it was a far cry from the days of navigating with a compass and a stopwatch, our boats were anything but interconnected. Then as computer networks advanced by light-years on dry land, technology trickledown soon brought us into the world of networked marine electronics. Our units could at least talk to each other, even though the outside world was muted.
All the electronics mentioned here have ways of communicating beyond of our self-contained craft. Yet when one considers the strangely divergent purposes of each — from Internet access to stereo control to security — it's obvious that we'll also need a consolidation of these technologies before our boats can truly be considered 100-percent interconnected.
The MFD unit is the natural choice for a connectivity hub, and we're already seeing multidimensional connections at the helm station. Considering how quickly electronics evolve and advance, it seems like a safe bet that during the next decade, our helms will do more yakking than we do — no matter how good we are at flapping our gums.

Special Thanks to Guest Trip Reporter EWB:
TNAB plowed up the valley's namesake mountain in record time this year. The ground conditions were good, with solid bootable snow from the Guye junction. The sky conditions not so much, offering only thick low clouds, cold temps, and a Decemberish wind. The main group got going on time and caught some pre- and ski-NABers before the waterfall. We soon found Larry's steps and climbed them out of the basin and along the ridge. We reached the top in short order and enjoyed some drinks, snacks, and dry layers beneath the still giant summit cornice. We then plunged, glissaded, slid, and skied back to the Alpental lot and down to the Pour House to dream of a summer still just out of reach.

Different types of models
Most of the research on natural resources involves modelling and simulations. There can be several objectives: the model can be applied for control and prediction or understanding and comparing points of view. Research on common property often involves game theory in which individuals, behaviour, and interactions are represented. Economic management tools often rely on dynamic systems modelling to represent the flow of energy, information or money. Lastly, a regional approach uses GIS (geographical information systems) as its main modelling tool.
The scientific community aims to underline the interaction and integration (between scientific disciplines, scales, levels of integration, natural and social dynamics, and time intervals). The objective is to improve our understanding and actions.
This approach uses complexity sciences (Lewin, 1993; Gell-Mann, 1994). Several researchers use modelling methods developed for complexity sciences. This involves modelling the dynamics of interactions, such as multi-agent systems or cellular automata.
Institutes such as the World Resource Institute, the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute, UNESCO, and IEE (International Institute for Ecological Economics) are developing tools to model the dynamics of interactions. In France, institutes such as CEMAGREF, INRA, IRD, and CNRS are also developing tools of this kind.
