Q: ¿Cómo limitar el scroll de un div? Estoy haciendo un configurador, donde el cliente solicito que una tabla que se va armando dependiendo de lo que va escogiendo, lo acompañe mientras le da scroll, este es parte de mi HTML, donde se va armando imagen + tabla
HTML

Mi detalle es, estoy usando este codigo para permitir el scroll:
Javascript:
function sticky_relocate() {
    var window_top = $(window).scrollTop();
    var div_top = $('#sticky-anchor').offset().top;
    if (window_top > div_top) {
        $('#sticky').addClass('stick');
        $('#sticky-anchor').height($('#sticky').outerHeight());
    } else {
        $('#sticky').removeClass('stick');
        $('#sticky-anchor').height(0);
    }
}

$(function() {
    $(window).scroll(sticky_relocate);
    sticky_relocate();
});

var dir = 1;
var MIN_TOP = 200;
var MAX_TOP = 350;

function autoscroll() {
    var window_top = $(window).scrollTop() + dir;
    if (window_top >= MAX_TOP) {
        window_top = MAX_TOP;
        dir = -1;
    } else if (window_top <= MIN_TOP) {
        window_top = MIN_TOP;
        dir = 1;
    }
    $(window).scrollTop(window_top);
    window.setTimeout(autoscroll, 100);
}

Este funciona correctamente, sin embargo, se posiciona encima del footer de la pagina, hay forma de bloquear que no pase del footer?
Ya intente poniendo otro div anchor, tambien busque acerca del window.height, pero no veo forma de limitar el scroll.

A: La causa del problema es el uso del estilo position:absolute. Trata de reemplazar ambos position:absolute por position:relative o eliminarlos:

A: Tenía el mismo problema, checa esto: http://jsfiddle.net/86Zp7/2/
(Ver en pantalla completa el siguiente código)

$(window).scroll(function() {
    relative_scroll(".article", ".side");
});

function relative_scroll(parent, item) {
  if ($(item).length) {
   var parent_height = $(parent).height() + parseInt($(parent).css("padding-bottom"));
   var parent_offset = $(parent).offset().top;
   var window_height = $(window).height();
   var element_height = $(item).height();
   var doc_scroll = $(document).scrollTop();

   var progress = (doc_scroll - parent_offset) / (parent_height - window_height);

   if (progress < 0) { progress = 0; }
   if (progress > 1) { progress = 1; }

   var scroll = (progress * ((parent_height + parseInt($(parent).css("margin-top"))) - element_height));
   if (scroll < 0) { scroll = 0; }

   if (element_height < parent_height) {
    if (parseInt(scroll + element_height) < parent_height) {
     $(item).css("margin-top", scroll +"px");
    } else {
     $(item).css("margin-top", (parseInt(parent_height) + parseInt($(parent).css("margin-top"))) - (element_height) +"px");
    }
   }
  }
}
.main {
    height:1500px;

Synopsis The Beatles followed up their debut film, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, with this fanciful spy spoof. When Ringo adds a new ring to his collection, he's unaware of how important and dangerous this piece of jewelry is. On one hand, a religious cult considers it a sacred object and the wearer must become a sacrifice to their gods. On the other hand, the ring has magical abilities that hold the key to supreme power. Soon the boys from Liverpool are engaged in a slapstick and madcap chase round the world, as a crazed scientist, a pack of crooks, and several religious fanatics set out to capture the band. Watch for the English Channel swimmer who seems to be perpetually lost and appears in nearly every location. Includes Beatles' hits including Help!, Ticket To Ride, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, and many more.Theatrical release: August 9, 1965 World premiere at the London Pavilion Theatre, July 29, 1965. Part of the film was shot on location on Paradise Island in the Bahamas in February 1965. Originally, HELP! had the working title EIGHT ARMS TO HOLD YOU, but the band changed the title after failing to produce material relating to it. The film was respectfully dedicated to the memory of Mr. Elias Howe, whom in 1846, invented the sewing machine. Songs include Help!, You're Gonna Lose That Girl, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, The Night Before, Another Girl, Ticket to Ride, and I Need You. The film, along with A HARD DAYS NIGHT, was restored over a span of four years. Original prints were discovered in U.S. warehouses, while some restoration work was done from prints with German subtitles. The restored version of HELP! was shown on the American Movie Classics cable channel on July 2nd, 1996, during the station's fourth annual Film Preservation Festival....Entertaining....[The music] is wonderful and the European scenery and eyeful... -- Rating: B+4 stars out of 4 -- [N]onstop slapstick, even more like a cartoon than the later, animated YELLOW SUBMARINE...3 stars out of 5 -- [C]heck out the filters on 'Another Girl' and the insouciantly inventive editing on 'Ticket To Ride,' not to mention the gorgeous kaleidoscopic end credits...4 stars out of 5 -- [With] musical interludes, absurdist humour and director Richard Lester's nutty invention and energy...

Explosion In Heart Of Istanbul's Tourist Area Kills At Least 10 : The Two-Way Turkish officials say a suicide bomber identified as a 28-year-old Syrian national targeted tourists. At least eight Germans died in the blast, Chancellor Angela Merkel says.
Ambulances and police are seen at the blast site after an explosion in Istanbul's central Sultanahmet district. At least 10 people were killed and 15 wounded in a suicide bombing near tourists in central Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet district.
Turkish President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan says police believe the explosion, which reportedly struck near where a 3,500-year-old Egyptian Obelisk of Theodosius stands, was the work of a suicide bomber with ties to Syria. Erdogan delivered a lengthy televised address in the wake of the attack.
Confirming and providing new detail about earlier reports, German Chancellor Angela Merkel says eight Germans are among the dead in Istanbul.
Both Merkel and German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier spoke of the country's losses today, saying that in addition to those killed, nine German nationals were severely injured, reports NPR's Esme Nicholson.
"International terror changes the places of its attacks but its goal is always the same — it is our free life in free society," Merkel said, according to the AP. "The terrorists are the enemies of all free people, indeed, the enemies of all humanity, whether in Syria or Turkey, in France or Germany."
Most of the people killed were foreigners, says Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus, who also said police had identified the bomber as a 28-year-old Syrian national.
"We'd come out of the Blue Mosque and were just walking onto this boulevard. We were just in the corner, just out of sight. So we heard it, rather than saw. Then, people were just running in every direction. Some people were running towards the action, to help. And other people were just fleeing.... We were very much caught between a rock and a hard place."
Tourists frequently visit the area of the blast, drawn by the green open space and a cluster of historic sites such as the Hagia Sophia and elements of the Hippodrome of Constantinople.
Reporting on the nationality of some of the victims, Hurriyet Daily News reports, "Six German citizens, one Norwegian and one Peruvian were among the ... wounded people rushed to the Haseki Hospital, Doğan News Agency has reported."
The news outlet adds that in the mayhem that followed the attack, a police vehicle crashed and flipped on its side, its siren still blaring. Video from the scene shows a crowd of onlookers gathered to flip the vehicle back upright.
Tuesday's attack is the latest in a string of terrorist activity in Turkey. In October, some 100 people were killed in a double bombing in Ankara. In December, a blast at an Istanbul airport killed one person. And police said they foiled another double bombing in Ankara that was timed to strike on New Year's Eve.
"Basically, folks here in Istanbul have been on edge for weeks," Peter says, "wondering if something was going to blow up here."

We're loving that thing over here in our corner of the world and you will, too.
Simply print a photo of a special person with his/her name to the side. Leave enough room for your magnetic letters.
We have upper- and lower-case letters in our set so words like "Dad" and "Mom" (with two of the same letter) are fine. If your set is all caps, you might consider printing out letters on card stock and sticking magnetic strips to the back or getting a second set.
We are game people, remember?
Using 9 bottle caps, I attached X's and O's to the tops and magnets to the bottoms.
I then cut the # shape from paper and stuck magnetic strips to the back.
Confession: I really do try to not use Mod Podge in every single project.
Someone help me; I just can't resist it.
I did, in fact, Mod Podge my # shape, but you are probably capable of self-restraint and can walk away from any unexplainable impulses you may or may not have.
I love the idea of using bottle caps! You could actually make a set of alphabet letters that way too! Did you buy your set of alphabet letters or make them? Thanks for the idea...I'm actually going to be doing a lap tray one of these days over on my blog http://bisforboycreations.blogspot.com/ using clipboards... I have a gazillion from when I was in the classroom.
This is such a good idea! SOOOOO need to make this for my daughter! Love your blog.

Q: Acessando variáveis de uma struct Estou estudando C e estou com dúvida na diferença das seguintes linhas:
(*depois).agora = 20

e
*depois.agora = 20;

Pelo que entendi o ponto . possui prioridade e o compilador iria tentar resolver depois.agora e após isso iria resolver *(depois.agora)
Então, depois é o endereço de memória. se eu tentasse acessar *(depois.agora), eu não estaria pegando o valor que está contido no endereço depois.agora?
Qual seria a diferença entre as 2 linhas?
#include <stdio.h>

struct horario
{
    int hora;
    int minuto;
    int segundo;
};

int main(void)
{
    struct horario agora;
    struct horario *depois;

    depois = &agora; // depois aponta para agora, ou seja, armazena o endereco de memoria de agora

    (*depois).agora = 20; // "atalho": depois->agora = 20

    *depois.agora = 20; // errado, por quê?

    // * = operador de derreferência
    return 0;
}

A: Essencialmente entendeu tudo.
O primeiro está pegando o valor que está no endereço depois e daí pegando o campo hora (na pergunta o nome do campo está errado). Os parênteses estão aí justamente para indicar que primeiro vem a derreferência que produzirá um objeto do tipo struct horario que por sua vez tem um campo hora.
O segundo, por precedência de operadores, está pegando o ponteiro depois e tentando acessar o campo hora nele, acontece que um ponteiro não tem campos, ele é um endereço e mais nada, então já dá erro. Ele sequer vai tentar usar o operador de derreferência em algo que não faz sentido. É como se fosse:
*(depois.agora) = 20;

Coloquei no GitHub para referência futura.
Você só pode acessar um objeto de forma compatível com o conteúdo dele.

A: Começo por dizer que está a aceder ao valor incorreto na estrutura em:
(*depois).agora = 20;
*depois.agora = 20;

Pois a estrutura horario não tem o campo agora, por isso teria que trocar para um dos campos da mesma, como por exemplo, hora:
(*depois).hora = 20;
*depois.hora = 20;

No entanto, o problema tem a ver com precedência de operadores. O operador . tem prioridade sobre o operador *. Para tornar mais evidente poderíamos reescrever as instruções de acordo com a precedência dos operadores:
(*depois).hora = 20;
*(depois.hora) = 20;

Respondendo agora à questão, o depois é um ponteiro que aponta para uma estrutura. Por isso tem primeiro que ir ao local de memória onde a estrutura está fazendo *depois, e só quando acedeu ao local na memoria andar os bytes necessários para chegar ao campo hora com .hora, o que lhe dá o primeiro caso que especificou:
(*depois).hora = 20;

Se não colocar os parêntesis, pela precedência dos operadores primeiro é feito depois.hora que vai tentar aceder ao ponteiro como se fosse uma estrutura, o que só por si falha logo, porque é um ponteiro e não uma estrutura. O compilador consegue logo perceber pelos tipos que está errado e dá imediatamente um erro de compilação:

error: request for member 'hora' in something not a structure or
  union

Lendo atentamente vemos que o compilador indica que estamos a aceder a um campo hora de algo que não é uma estrutura ou união (é na verdade um ponteiro). Note também que apenas depois.hora é suficiente para gerar o erro.

BATAAN | Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar Day Tour ~ From Ruins to Restorations
A sprawl of houses with stone bases, wooden upper floors, and red clay roofs greeted me behind sliding capiz windows as I went sauntering along a narrow hallway once used by alipin sagigilid, a type of Spanish-era servants who were not allowed into the main halls of these stately homes. I caught a shimmering glimpse of the past behind a façade of the present. A time where carriages carried the rich illustrados, powerful friars, and gobernadorcillos across cobbled streets; an era which is arguably much more regal and opulent than our present.
JOINED A GUIDED DAY TOUR OF LAS CASAS FILIPINAS DE ACUZAR ON FOOT
I was at the much talked about Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in the town of Bagac in Bataan. It gained popularity among the masses and equal parts infamy for heritage conservationists with the way it restores old houses from across the Philippines.
► CHECK OUT: PAWIKAN FESTIVAL
A CLUSTER OF ANCESTRAL HOUSES ON LA RIBERA, AN ISLET ACROSS UMAGOL RIVER
The 400-hectare resort in Bataan has a total of 27 heritage structures uprooted from their dismal conditions from all over the country and restored—piece by available piece—to this Spanish colonial-themed resort. And please don't take the word resort lightly. This is not the type where statues of the Incredible Hulk and gaudily painted dinosaurs rule. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar definitely has class. The streets are paved in cobblestone and the houses appear in all their colonial glory, sans the trappings of 21st century commercialism.
► DISCOUNTED VOUCHER FOR A STAY IN LAS CASA FILIPINAS DE ACUZAR
MOSAIC WALLS AND OPULENT CHANDELIERS INSIDE CASA BIZANTINA
And the man behind all this is Jose Rizalino "Jerry" Acuzar, the owner of New San Jose Builders—the same company who managed the construction of the record-breaking Iglesia ni Cristo coliseum, the Philippine Arena. You can tell this guy has money to burn. And he burns it for a crusade.
CASA CAGAYAN, SHIPPED STRAIGHT FROM THE PROVINCE OF CAGAYAN
The idea of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar came to him when he first built his home in 2003 at Bataan using materials from an old house. It occurred to him then how incomplete and disjointed it was, like a Frankenstein of sorts. He thought, why not use the entire house instead of only a few pieces. He proceeded to build a second one, currently dubbed as Casa Cagayan, by trial and error and finally managed to assemble the whole piece on his land.
And after seven years of doing this, he finally decided to open his property to the public. The rest, as they say is history—a history plagued with controversies, that is.
WALL DETAILS OF CASA BIZANTINA FROM BINONDO, MANILA
Most of the structures in the park are from the 18th and 19th-century Philippines. They have been meticulously disassembled from their original sites, numbered, trucked or shipped to Bataan, then reassembled. The parts that are beyond repair are replicated by a team of local carpenters on site. It is a time-consuming and laborious endeavor, but the end results are nothing short of astonishing.
CROSSING LOLA BASYANG'S BRIDGE TO THE HOTEL DE ORIENTE
I was actually not so sure about the legitimacy of what Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is doing right up to the moment I entered its gates. I was still of the belief that heritage structures means much more when they are rooted on where they originally stand.
CASA BIZANTINA WAS USED AS A SQUATTER SETTLEMENT BEFORE ITS RELOCATION IN BAGAC
But a walk through the grounds of the resort somehow made me change my mind a bit. The structures transferred here are so meticulously crafted and restored that I can't help but be transported back to the times of Rizal and Luna. Clichéd as it was, it is jaw-droppingly spectacularly true. From its street, plazas, mansions, and interiors, I have never seen anything close to it, even Vigan City pales in comparison to the near-perfect Spanish colonial era illusion of Acuzar.
► CHECK OUT: VIGAN TRAVEL GUIDE
FULLY RESTORED ROOMS COMPLETE WITH FURNISHING
But therein lies the crux of the problem, it is all but an illusion. Each building is not where it really should be. An ancestral house in Quiapo stands side-by-side with say, another one from Bulacan. The contexts of these heritage buildings are totally lost within their surroundings.
INSIDE CASA LUNA FROM LUNA, LA UNION
And this is where heritage conservationists are raising their hackles over. Their stand is that a heritage structure should be restored in situ, or on site, for it to have context over its history. They went on to extremes, saying that they'd rather have a house totally crumble to the ground than have it dismantled and rebuilt over a site far from its original location. The thinking is that as long as the structure is there, there's still a chance, however slim, especially in the Philippines, that the local government or any concerned group with enough moolah, can take over and restore it again.
SPOLIARIUM WOOD PARQUET AT HOTEL DE ORIENTE
But that hardly ever happens. Everyone knows it. Jerry Acuzar knows it.
So he does what he can with what he has. He buys the house, sometimes even the whole lot, transfers it to his resort, and restores them to their old splendor. He spends a fortune on this, of course. How much? He doesn't want to keep a tab. Why keep a tab on your spending he says when you know you're never gonna get them back. You count your spending only if you know that someday you'd get a return for your investment.
CASA BIZANTINA'S MOST EXPENSIVE ROOM
Granted, the resort does ask for a modest fee for those entering its grounds and quite an amount if you want to stay overnight—the accommodation goes from PHP 12,000.00 for the Casa Cagayan houses up to an earth-shattering PHP 150,000.00 per night on the more opulent 4-star mansions like Casa Bizantina.
► CHECK DISCOUNTED ROOM RATES & AVAILABILITY
HOTEL DE ORIENTE'S DIZZYING PARADE OF WOODEN ORNAMENTS
THE CONTROVERSIAL CASA BINAN WHERE HENERAL LUNA'S FINAL SCENE WAS FILMED
I think what really drives Mr. Acuzar is not money, for he already has tons of it. What he wants is to make a mark, according to an interview. He doesn't want to be simply like the wind, passing thru life without leaving a trace. Stories of the Philippine's history is simply not enough for him. He wants something more concrete, something today's children can touch, something that would delight and make them appreciate our past—not boring words coming out of history books as he says. This is what Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is for him. This is his legacy.
ONE OF THE FOUR PLAZAS IN LAS CASAS FILIPINAS DE ACUZAR
Agree with him or not, he is doing his part in keeping these stately houses from total ruin. We can argue and postulate about the correctness and incorrectness of his practice to no end while that old house right on the corner of your street crumbles and rot, gets demolished, and turned into a modern apartment. Until there is a better and a much more effective and concrete programs for heritage houses conservation, I guess this would have to do.

Taking on zebra mussels … Some reason for optimism
By: Tom Cherveny, West Central Tribune
SPICER — Like bracing for an uninvited guest to ring the doorbell, zebra mussels seem closer by the day.
They've established themselves in the Lake Le Homme Dieu chain of lakes in Douglas County, less than an hour's drive away.
They're proliferating rapidly in Lake Minnetonka, which has now been dubbed a "super spreader'' due to the threat that the many boaters using the lake could spread the invasive aquatic species.
Yet, for the first time, there's also a sense of optimism and there's a greater resolve then ever, according to Terry Frazee with the Green Lakes Property Owners Association.
The Green Lake association is partnering with Minnesota Waters, which represents lakes associations across the state, and the lakes associations in Douglas County and Lake Minnetonka to research a promising tool in the battle to stop the mussels.
It's a commercial product known as Zeaquanox. It offers the promise of helping control the invasive species.
"This is the light at the end of the tunnel we have not had,'' said Frazee.
Developed 20 years ago by Dr. Daniel Molloy, a scientist with the New York State Museum, Zeaquanox is a strain of bacteria called Pseudomonas fluorescens. The bacteria are found naturally just about everywhere, from the ground we walk on to the milk we drink.
The bacteria are selectively toxic to zebra and quagga mussels when ingested by the invasive species.
In the case of Zeaquanox, the bacteria are killed. The dead bacteria cells retain the toxin that kills the zebra mussels. It causes the cells in the mussels' digestive systems to hemorrhage.
The product is not harmful to native mussels, waterfowl or fish, and poses no risk to people, according to Frazee and Lois Sinn Lindquist, executive director of Minnesota Waters.
The three partners intend to be at the forefront in researching whether the product can effectively be used to control zebra mussels in Minnesota lakes.
Zeaquanox is already being used by power companies in place of chlorine to keep water intake pipes clear of the invasive species. Its toxicity to zebra mussels is 100 percent when present in high concentrations in the intake pipes and other closed systems.
But can it be effectively used in lakes, where it will be diluted and where it will be far more difficult to apply the product where it is most needed? And, can the product be made available at a reasonable cost for large-scale use?
These are among the questions the partners hope to be among the first to answer.
Having a possible tool to control zebra mussels is not the only reason for the optimism that's starting to show itself, according to the partners.
Frazee and Lindquist noted that recent state legislation requiring boaters to drain their watercraft and new funding for research to control invasive aquatic species are all positive signs.
Lindquist said she was also encouraged by a recent visit with Tom Landwehr, new director of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. He made clear the department's commitment to stopping the invasive species, she said.
Containment and keeping the zebra mussels out of local waters remains the number one priority, said Frazee. "Don't move a mussel'' and other campaigns aimed at heightening public awareness are the first line of defense.
Or as Lindquist said it: "Spread the message, not the mussel.''

This unit introduces students to Indigenous Australia in a stimulating, in-depth study of traditional and contemporary forms of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural expression. Ranging from the Dreaming and ancient knowledges, ceremony and lore, to the lives and societies of Indigenous peoples today, students learn in areas such Aboriginal kinship, language, story and art, Indigenous agriculture, aquaculture and astronomy, and contemporary Indigenous cultures and cultural currents.
This unit of study focuses on the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples since colonisation, exploring key social, political and legal events, issues and debates, and the people behind them. Students will learn about important historical events and social issues in areas such as civil and political rights, land rights, self-determination and reconciliation, developing an understanding of how these events and issues have shaped the shared history of Australia. The unit introduces a decolonising methodology that will underpin further work in the major.
This unit explores the centrality of the connection between land and culture to the continuity and well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Students learn about Country and Indigenous relationships with, responsibilities to and care of place, and the maintenance of land, language and culture. A rights based perspective is used to explore Indigenous political history and activism in maintaining and protecting Country and culture. Students survey local and international case studies to illuminate the links between land, cultural rights and human rights.
Gamilaraay is an Indigenous Australian language from the mid-northwest of NSW that is currently undergoing revitalisation. This unit of study will provide students with a basic competence in speaking, understanding, reading and writing Gamilaraay sufficient to recognise and construct simple utterances in the language, and to understand its relationships with other languages. Classes will progressively develop each student's abilities in the language.
This unit introduces students to the diversity of cultural practice and worldviews of Aboriginal societies across Australia. It will in particular explore critically how Aboriginal people and practices have been understood, debated and represented in the discipline of anthropology since colonisation.
The unit examines how Indigenous Australians have long engaged with the 'modern world', despite dominant ideas that juxtapose Western modernity with Indigenous tradition/static past. The unit uses an anthropological lens to investigate changing Indigenous lifeworlds since colonisation with a focus on state policy and Indigenous rights politics.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait art is the major Australian movement of the last 50 years. Surveying its development from Papunya Tula to the present, the unit focuses on critical issues like appropriation and copyright, art and native title, women artists, the market and curatorial practices.
The myth of the frontier is a foundation stone of national identity in the United States, where it gave birth to a global film genre, the Western. In Australia, where 'history wars' are waged over the level of violence and the legality of colonial expansion, the very existence of a frontier is disputed rather than romanticised. This unit compares the significance of the frontier in each country's history and popular memory from the perspective of both settlers and indigenous peoples.
In the 20th century, millions of people fought to overthrow oppressive colonial regimes. In this unit we will study the global history of decolonisation, mainly from the perspective of formerly colonised and indigenous peoples. We will examine case studies from Asia, Africa and the Pacific, and end by asking: what would decolonisation in Australia look like?
This unit of study examines language in Indigenous Australia. It is said that of the 250 distinct Aboriginal languages spoken in 1788, just 20 languages are expected to survive another few generations. This unit of study will challenge this grim and oft-quoted statistic. We will see that new Aboriginal languages have emerged, apparently moribund languages have been gaining strength and distinctive Aboriginal ways of talking have survived. We consider why some languages have prospered while others have declined. We explore how Indigenous languages have responded to the challenges of non-Indigenous settlement, in such arenas as education, land rights and health.
This course provides an introduction to Latin American politics through an interdisciplinary approach to studying indigenous movements, pivotal actors in the shaping of contemporary conceptions of democracy, citizenship and statecraft in the continent. Students will examine these social movements from anthropological, historical and political science perspectives. They will gain an insight into cultural diversity of Latin American societies and acquire analytical tools for studying and understanding a wide variety of topics associated with political structure and agency in the continent.
In Indigenous Research Methods, students will be encouraged to understand and critically evaluate the range of methodologies used in Indigenous Studies. This will serve as preparation for students' independent research project, also undertaken in the third year, providing them with an understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural protocols and ethical approaches to Indigenous Studies research.
In this unit students critically examine race and racism and their impacts on Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Students consider theories of structural and cultural violence; how racism is linked to poverty, justice and human rights; critical whiteness theory; and race representation. With an emphasis on Indigenous Australia, students gain an understanding of visible and invisible racism and skills for unmasking racism in a process of constructive individual and social change.
Australia holds an unenviable record for its loss of Indigenous languages and actively pursues a de facto policy of English monolingualism. This unit examines how Indigenous communities are resisting this trend and reviving so-called extinct languages through examining the roles of language policy and planning, community activism, language centres, education, technology and the linguistic processes involved. Lecture and tutorial content is supplemented by a fieldwork excursion (at additional cost) to a regional language centre and associated school programs.
This unit explores the history of Indigenous school experience with a specific focus on settler colonial contexts (Australia, Aotearoa/NZ, Nth America). Diverse schooling experiences and institutions are examined both as instruments of colonial power and a means through which Indigenous peoples have negotiated their own goals and sought self-determination. Critical studies, emergent trans-Indigenous and decolonising approaches inform the exploration of concepts and practices of assimilation, race, and the contemporary legacies of past practice.
This unit surveys Australian Indigenous representations of Country in poetry, fiction, art and film. We consider Indigenous expressions of Country through comparative ecocritical, transnational and trans-Indigenous frameworks, and examine how Indigenous philosophies of Country can contribute to thinking about issues such as environmental crisis and climate change.
Builds on students' knowledge of Australian politics to examine the background, context, conduct and implications of politics relevant to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and policy affecting indigenous Australians. Explores aspects of inclusion and exclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from the formal political system; internal power relations within and between communities, social movements and representative bodies; compare Australian indigenous politics with those of other nations, and; look at a range of policy areas.

What We're Reading: Smoldering Love
A journalist delves into the riveting truth behind a series of mysterious fires in Virginia
By Jonathan Miles
photo: Jess Spence
The "vanishing land" in American Fire's subtitle is the Eastern Shore of Virginia: "a hangnail," as Monica Hesse describes it, "a hinky peninsula separated from the rest of the state by the Chesapeake Bay and a few hundred years of cultural isolation." At its northern border with Maryland is a sign reading, THE SOUTH STARTS HERE. At its southern end is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel linking the shore to the mainland. "In between," Hesse writes, "are little towns, clapboard churches, peeling chicken coops, salt-whipped brush, and roads that go miles and miles between streetlights."
Beginning in the autumn of 2012, however, another feature appeared on this quiet landscape, usually at nighttime: fires. Lots of them, one after the other after the other. And from their smoldering embers rose an intense, bizarre mystery.
The first fires came the night of November 12—three, in the span of three hours. What burned in those fires—and in the three that followed the next night, and in the seventy-one more that followed over the next five months—were abandoned structures, including a farmhouse that in its prime
had symbolized the Eastern Shore's status as "the richest rural place in America" but in its neglected state evoked the area's long decline. "The county would grow used to hearing the wail of sirens in the middle of the night," Hesse writes, "the sound of engines and tankers crunching over gravel. The county would see landmarks go up in flames and neighbors eye one another with suspicion at the grocery store. At night, the roads would transform into a sea of checkpoints and police cars; citizens trying to get home while Accomack [County] turned into a police state and the county lit up around them. The county went about its business. The county burned down."
The first fire's cinders were still warm when firefighters arrived at the inescapable conclusion: "We've got an arsonist." But as the fires kept burning, night after night, and as investigators and criminal profilers and even a vigilante group calling itself the Eastern Shore Arsonist Hunters found themselves bereft of clues and suspects, two questions kept looming larger and larger: Who? And for God's sake—why?
Hesse, a Washington Post feature writer and the author of a YA novel, Girl in the Blue Coat, answers the first question, partly, on page 10: Charles Smith, that's who, a then thirty-eight-year-old body-shop mechanic and former volunteer firefighter and recovering addict and hapless local ne'er-do-well. The answer to the second question—why?—takes longer to appear, and its slow reveal supplies American Fire its mesmerizing grip. "Arson is a weird crime," Hesse notes, "…a crime in which the weapon is nature, and the end result is the destruction of a thing, the changing of a landscape, the carving of a charred signature onto a dead piece of earth." But the motives behind Smith's arsons—he eventually pleaded guilty to sixty-seven counts—were weirder than most. Behind these fires was a love story gone off the rails. Love Warps the Mind a Little was the name of a 1997 novel by John Dufresne. Monica Hesse could have titled this Love Warps the Mind a Lot.
Yet Hesse, who recounts the fires and their investigation and the subsequent trials with cinematic immediacy, sees more than a berserk love saga in the ashes. That Smith set a string of fires is one part of the story, but that he had so many abandoned houses to choose from is the other. The Eastern Shore lost nearly a fifth of its population in the twentieth century, the shift from family farms to corporate farms draining the populace and emptying Main Streets, like so many rural areas. "This was not the story of Accomack," she writes, panning out. "This was the story of America." Hesse doesn't overpound the metaphorical nail, but she also doesn't miss the context lying there amid the "hundreds and hundreds of now empty houses that lingered and rotted by the side of the road": that some of what Charles Smith destroyed was already, in its own way, long gone.
The Beach is Calling
A warm and witty summer read from the mind behind Big Fish
The author and G&G contributor Daniel Wallace can write a character you'll never forget. There was the imaginative Edward Bloom in Big Fish, Wallace's 1998 book turned beloved film, and now there's the clueless but endearing Edsel Bronfman in his latest novel, Extraordinary Adventures (St. Martin's Press). Bronfman is thoroughly bored by every facet of life: He is in his mid-thirties, has never known love, and wastes away processing invoices for flatware from a cubicle in Birmingham, Alabama. Then a fateful phone call brings a hint of destiny—er, Destin, Florida. Bronfman wins a beach getaway meant for two, and before the offer expires, he must find someone (not his mother) willing to share the trip. What follows is a rollicking crash course in loving—and in living a little.—CJ Lotz

Extreme Introvert
Perspectives from a guy dwelling at the deep end of the introversion spectrum

"Hand me that book," Vivian says. She takes the hardbound green volume, with gold lettering and a line drawing of a girl with abundant red hair in a chignon on the front, and opens it. "Ah, yes, I remember," she says. "I was almost exactly the heroine's age when I read this for the first time. A teacher gave it to me -- my favorite teacher. You know, Miss Larsen." She leafs through the book slowly, stopping at a page here and there. "Anne talks so much, doesn't she? I was much shyer than that." She looks up. "What about you?"
"Sorry, I haven't read it," Molly says.
"No, no. I mean, were you shy as a girl? What am I saying, you're still a girl. But I mean when you were young?"
"Not exactly shy. I was -- quiet."
"Circumspect," Vivian says. "Watchful."
Molly turns these words over in her mind. Circumspect? Watchful? Is she? There was a time after her father died and after she was taken away, or her mother was taken away -- it's hard to know which came first, or if they happened at the same time -- that she stopped talking altogether. Everyone was talking at and about her, but nobody asked her opinion, or listened when she gave it. So she stopped trying. It was during this period that she would wake in the night and get out of bed to go to her parents' room, only to realize, standing in the hall, that she had no parents.
"Well, you're not exactly effervescent now, are you?" Vivian says. "But I saw you outside earlier when Jack dropped you off, and your face was" -- Vivian lifts her knobby hands, splaying her fingers -- "all lit up. You were talking up a storm."
"Were you spying on me?"
"Of course! How else am I going to find out anything about you?"
Excerpt from Orphan Train
by Christina Baker Kline
What I like about this passage, among other things, is that the word "shy" is replaced with two others: "circumspect" and "watchful" -- two words that are immeasurably more appropriate for introverts than "shy". One of these days, I'm going to compile a list of words that are more accurate in their descriptiveness. Maybe none of them alone will fit perfectly, but perhaps a combination would do nicely.

As an introvert myself, I do like the findings you bring here. Other ways to say shy, funny how one can just accept that only.

Mark, agreed, it's too easy to accept words that don't fit. Thanks for stopping by.

Here's Anne with her Olympus OMD EM10 MkII in a Nauticam housing. The lens she is using is an Olympus 8mm Fisheye which only needs quite a small dome port when used underwater. Non-fisheye lenses (rectilinear lenses) need larger dome ports. A tip when posing for shots like this, look at your reflection in the photographer's dome to see whether you are in the right position.
Why won't my camera focus at all?
There can be a number of reasons why a camera won't focus when used underwater. But if it only happens when you are using it with a dome port it's most likely because of an issue involving how domes work in underwater photography. This is the bit that people often struggle with, but to be honest it isn't essential that you understand it to use a dome port or lens. Essentially, domes use a quirk of optical physics that causes a virtual image to form as light passes from water through the dome material to the air in the dome. Your camera then focuses on the virtual image which to it will appear to be a short distance in front of the dome.
Issues occur with lenses that don't focus close enough for the camera to focus on the image. Users of interchangeable lens cameras may find they have to add diopters on to their camera to be able to use some lenses behind a dome. Diopters in this case are add-on lenses that shorten the focusing distance. The larger the dome you are using the further away the image will appear to the camera and the less likely you are to need a diopter. In circumstances where one might have a dome port or domed wet lens on a compact camera housing it may be neccessary to put the camera in macro mode to get it to focus.
Not neccessarily my best work, but just to show that you don't need a dome to take a split shot this picture was taken by me some years ago using an Inon flat fronted wide angle wet lens.
Always bear in mind that domes need to be a specific distance from the camera lens to give the best results. To ensure that you get the appropriate dome and extension rings to suit a lens you will need to consult the relevant port table from your housing's manufacturer. A better option to avoid risk of a purchasing error is to consult a dealer before buying, they will likely know their way around the port tables and be able to advise you on whether your lens is the best option for underwater. Also if you give them the details of your camera, lens and housing it will fall at their door if they don't sell you the correct port.
When using cameras with zoom lenses in an underwater housing you may have to zoom in somewhat to remove vignetting when shooting with a wide angle wet lens. This is the case with the G7X MkII in Fantasea housing and is the main reason we recommend the G9X MkII instead.
Why are my wide angle pictures blurred around the edges?
Having the centre of your picture in focus but the edges distorted or blurred is a very common issue when using a dome port or domed wet lens. It stems from using a wide aperture (small f number setting) on your camera. I'll be honest my optical physics knowledge isn't up to explaining why this happens but it means that you are limited as to how wide you can set your cameras aperture.
This issue is another reason why having manual control of your camera's settings is so important for underwater photography. If you keep your camera set in a mode where aperture is controlled automatically while using a dome port or domed wet lens you may find that you are getting blurred edges to a lot of your images.
If you do notice distortion at the edges of your pictures try reducing the size of aperture you use by increasing the f number it is set to in Aperture priority or full Manual mode. This issue is more pronounced with larger sensor cameras so you will likely need a smaller aperture when using a full frame camera with a dome port than you may do when using a Micro Four-Thirds sensor camera.
Have a read of my previous blog 'Automatic for the People?' to understand more of the issues surrounding using your camera in Auto while underwater.
How can I remove the scratches on my domed wet lens?
This is a question I've seen a few times and I try and answer it as quickly as possible before any harm can be done.
It is possible to polish scratches out of acrylic dome ports like this Nauticam one. While glass domes are harder to remove scratches from but somewhat more resistent to being scratched.
Firstly, if you can't see the scratches in your pictures then leave things alone. Damage too small to show in a picture is unlikely to affect the structural integrity of your lens.
If it does show up in your pictures then you have an issue.
While dome ports for housings are made of acrylic or glass almost all the domes used on wide angle wet lenses are made from coated polycarbonate. Unfortunately if you try and use a polishing system such as Novus (which works well on acrylic dome ports) to remove scratches from these coated domes you'll damage the coating and likely make whatever is showing up in your pictures much worse.
Instead you'll almost certainly have to return your lens to the manufacturer for the dome to be replaced. Unless you are happy to spend a lot of time in front of your computer editing the marks out of your pictures.

In the last decade, interest in energy efficiency has increased around the world. Countries are interested in energy efficiency because of its potential to ameliorate local and regional environmental problems, reduce the prospect of global climate changes associated with the greenhouse effect, provide the foundation for improved economic stability and development, and to reduce global risks and uncertainties associated with non-domestic oil supplies. Developing easily accessible information services and networks on energy efficiency technologies and programs is an important strategy that some countries are promoting in the pursuit of an energy-efficient society. While not all lessons are transferable, the sharing of experience in energy efficiency policies and programs will help all countries avoid mistakes that can waste scarce resources.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has denounced what it describes as "ridiculous" allegations by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Tehran is interfering in Venezuela's domestic affairs.
Iran's Press TV cited Foreign Ministry spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi as saying that it is Washington that should stop its "blatant" meddling in Venezuela's internal affairs and halt its targeting of the Latin American nation with "economic terrorism".
Mousavi blamed the US for plundering $30 billion worth of Venezuelan foreign-exchange reserves and urging "the Venezuelan nation to either riot against their legitimate government or face starvation".
"The US under Trump seeks to turn Latin America into its backyard, just like the way it was in the 19th century. However, nations of the world, particularly the people of Latin America, have woken up and the wheel of time will not move backwards", Mousavi underscored.
He added that a group of Iranian specialists are trying to "improve the water and electricity systems in Venezuela" at the request of the South American country's government.
The comments followed Pompeo's interview with the Voice of America, in which he claimed that "Iranian money remains in South America being used for malign purposes, supporting Hezbollah, […] transnational criminal organisations […] and efforts at terrorism throughout the region.
"This is Iran intervening in South America. That's not in the best interests of the South American people, and the United States stands ready", Pompeo argued.
He also dubbed the Islamic Republic "the world's largest state sponsor of terror", calling it "a global threat".
Earlier, Pompeo made it clear that "every single tool and every single option" for what he described as US efforts "to restore democracy" in Venezuela remains on the table.
The South American country has been embroiled in a severe political crisis since 23 January, when opposition leader Juan Guaido proclaimed himself Venezuela's interim president, denouncing President Nicolas Maduro's government as undemocratic and calling for Maduro's ouster.While the US was quick to recognise Guaido, Russia, China, Turkey and a spate of other countries supported the constitutionally elected president Maduro, slamming the broad Western support for the Venezuelan opposition leader.
Maduro, for his part, insisted Guaido is a US puppet and accused Washington of attempting to orchestrate a coup to topple Venezuela's legitimate government.

Major League Baseball 2012 var den högsta divisionen i baseboll i USA och Kanada för säsongen 2012 och inleddes den 28 mars, då den första matchen spelades mellan Seattle Mariners och Oakland Athletics i Tokyo på Tokyo Dome, och avslutades den 3 oktober 2012. Slutspelet inleddes den 5 oktober med två så kallade Wild Card Games och avslutades med World Series som spelades mellan den 24 och 28 oktober. San Francisco Giants vann World Series med 4-0 i matcher mot Detroit Tigers och blev således mästare för sjunde gången, senaste gången var säsongen 2010.

Major League Baseball bestod av 30 lag uppdelade i två ligor, American League (14 lag) och National League (16 lag). I ligorna var lagen uppdelade i divisioner tre divisioner per liga: AL East (5 lag), AL Central (5 lag), AL West (4 lag); NL East (5 lag), NL Central (6 lag), NL West (5 lag). Varje lag spelade 162 matcher under grundserien. Till slutspelet kvalificerade sig vinnarna av varje division samt de två främsta lagen i varje liga som inte vann sin division (fyra så kallade Wild Card-lag) - totalt 10 lag gick därmed till slutspel. De fyra Wild Card-lagen gick till Wild Card Games, där ett Wild Card-lag spelar en match mot det andra Wild Card-laget från sin liga. Det vinnande laget går vidare till Division Series, som då består av åtta lag. De fyra lagen från varje liga delas upp i två matchpar, där de spelar bäst av fem matcher. Det vinnande lagen går då vidare till League Championship Series, där mästaren av respektive liga koras. Vinnarna går då vidare till World Series, där de två kvarvarande lagen möter varandra. Det är alltså först i World Series som lag från olika ligor möter varandra i slutspelet.

Den ovannämnda ordningen är en ändring från föregående säsonger, då enbart ett Wild Card-lag per liga deltog i slutspelet och då gick direkt in i Division Series.

Tabeller
I American League blev New York Yankees, Detroit  Tigers och Oakland Athletics divisionsvinnare och Texas Rangers och Baltimore Orioles blev de båda Wild Card-lagen. I National League blev Washington Nationals, Cincinnati Reds och San Francisco Giants divisionsvinnare och Atlanta Braves och St. Louis Cardinals var de två lag som tog Wild Card-platserna.

Under grundsäsongen spelade varje lag 162 matcher, varav 81 hemma och 81 borta. Varje lag spelade matcher huvudsakligen inom den egna divisionen, men även en del matcher inom konferensen samt några matcher mot lag från en annan konferens. Det varierade från lag till lag hur många matcher man spelade inom varje division och konferens och mellan konferenserna.

National League

Slutspel
Wild Card Game bestod av en enda match som var direkt avgörande. Matcherna i Division Series spelades i bäst av fem och både League Championship Series och World Series spelades bäst av sju. Slutspelet spelades mellan 5 oktober och 28 oktober 2012. San Francisco Giants, vinnare av National Leagues West Division, vann World Series efter att ha slagit Cincinnati Reds med 3-2 i matcher i Division Series, sedan slagit St. Louis Cardinals med 4-3 i matcher i League Championship Series och därefter vann de mot Detroit Tigers (från American Leagues Central Division) med 4-0 i matcher.

Wild Card Game
American Leagues Wild Card Game spelades mellan Texas Rangers och Baltimore Orioles, som båda hade 93 segrar i grundserien, vilket var mer än Central Division-vinnaren Detroit Tigers (88 segrar). Däremot hade både Texas och Baltimore färre segrar än de båda Wild Card-lagen från National League - Atlanta Braves och St. Louis Cardinals. De båda hade 94 segrar under säsongen vilket var lika många som West Division-vinnaren San Francisco Giants. Baltimore vann mot Texas med 5-1 och St. Louis mot Atlanta med 6-3 och båda lagen avancerade därmed vidare till Division Series.

Texas Rangers – Baltimore Orioles 1–5
Atlanta Braves – St. Louis Cardinals 3–6

Division Series
Division Series är varje konferens semifinalserie. I American League möttes New York Yankees (vinnare av East Division) och Baltimore Orioles (vinnare av Wild Card Game) samt Oakland Athletics (vinnare av West Division) och Detroit Tigers (vinnare av Central Division). Av dessa rankades New York Yankees högst med 95 segrar, därefter Oakland Athletics med 94 segrar och sedan Detroit Tigers med 88 segrar. Trots Baltimores 93 segrar räknades de som de fjärde laget, eftersom de fick spela Wild Card Game. National Leagues Division Series innehöll Wild Card-vinnaren St. Louis Cardinals samt Cincinnati Reds (vinnare av Central Division), Washington Nationals (vinnare av East Division) och San Francisco Giants (vinnare av West Division). I likhet med rankningen i American League Division Series, så rankades St. Louis Cardinals sist och ställdes mot förstarankade Washington som tog 98 segrar i grundserien (flest av alla i MLB 2012). Cincinnati mötte San Francisco, där lagen hade 97 respektive 94 segrar i grundserien.

New York Yankees inledde sin serie med en seger och lagen vann därefter varannan match, vilket innebar att New York Yankees gick vidare efter 3-2 i matcher. Även Detroit inledde med seger och vann även matchen därefter, men Oakland kom tillbaka och vann ytterligare två varför det stod 2-2 inför den sista matchen. Detroit vann den matchen med 6-0 och gick vidare med 3-2 totalt. I den tredje matchen lyckades San Francisco vända ett underläge med 2-0 i matcher till att gå vidare med 3-2 efter ha vunnit de sista tre med 2-1, 8-3 och 6-4. St. Louis Cardinals gick som enda Wild Card-lag vidare till nästa omgång efter att ha slagit ut Washington med 3-2 i matcher.

Home Sport Simeone surpasses with the Atletico the historical record of Cruyff with Barça
Simeone surpasses with the Atletico the historical record of Cruyff with Barça
He had to win and Atletico de Madrid won. However, after several matches being criticized, the victory brings light and stenographers to the magnitude of Diego Pablo Simeone as coach of the rojiblanco team.
After beating RCD Espanyol in the Wanda Metropolitano, the Argentine already reaches 301 games as a mattress technician, with a balance of 186 victories. That is to say, that surpasses the record of a true myth of the benches, like Johan Cruyff, who directed FC Barcelona in 300 games, with a balance of 179 wins.
A tremendous fact, because Cholo has managed to overcome the numbers of a teacher like Cruyff, achieving with Atletico de Madrid 186 wins, more than Cruyff himself with a team of the Barça dimension. The coach who has directed the same team more times is Miguel Munoz, with 424 games leading Real Madrid. Another legend, Luis Aragones, is the second classified with 407 directed shocks and the Welshman John Benjamin Toshack is the third, with a total of 322 matches. Simeone is already in 301 games, has beaten Johan Cruyff and surely, I finished this course overcoming the Toshack brand, which has only a distance of 21 games.
Simeone reinvents the Atletico
Interviewed by Goal last April, Simeone, who now has 301 games as a rojiblanco coach, remembered the moment he arrived at the club like this: "He was always connected to Atlético de Madrid. We watched the games in Argentina. And I remember that he was recounting in each game what could happen to us … If we play as a visitor this will happen, when we play at home this will happen, be aware that when the team is missing for ten minutes … I was connected. In the end, I knew the Calderon, I knew the People, I knew the team, I saw him play … When Gil Marín called me and told me that they needed me, when he said that word "they needed" it filled me with enthusiasm and I knew that everything in Atletico would work out well. I was sure. "
