The controversy over alleged "dummy" courses continues as the University of Houston Internal Auditing Department released a review May 11 that found the existence of such courses to be unsupported.
Working with the state auditors' white-collar crime unit, the department concluded that students within the UH System were "not enrolled in classes requiring no work, no attendance or no contact with an instructor or (awarded) grades without a basis."
The audit was conducted at the request of UH President/UH-System Chancellor Arthur K. Smith following announcement of the results of a student survey in December.
The alleged dummy course situation was brought to the university's attention in November after an accreditation visit from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
"Based on the auditors' findings, it is clear that our primary problems have been ones of misperception and poor communication," Smith said.
The department polled 237 students, examining both low- and high-risk graduate courses in order to identify irregular enrollment numbers.
The auditors' poll placed greater emphasis on practicum, seminar and independent study courses, which are deemed "high-risk." The auditors chose one student at random from every department in all the colleges at UH.
The study represented a total of 498 course sections, also including "low-risk" courses such as lecture, lab, private lesson and televised instruction classes.
Auditors collected a random sample of graduate students enrolled in low-level courses from the summer 1996 to spring 1998 semesters.
They then used interviews with selected students and explanations from administration and faculty that the courses in question did not fit the criteria for fraudulent courses to determine that no "dummy" courses were being offered.
While advocates of the review find the results conclusive, some students and faculty say they feel that the review was inadequate.
Martha Serpas, a UH graduate with a Ph.D. in literature and creative writing, argues that the audit should have been conducted by an impartial agency.
"The two originally involved in the situation - the state who was not paying attention to UH, and UH, who made book-keeping mistakes - conducted the audit," Serpas said.
According to the internal auditing department Director Don F. Guyton, the audit methodology was carefully scrutinized by both the state auditors' department and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
Proponents of the audit maintain, however, that students - the central issue - were not addressed in the audit. According to Mike Hardin, a UH adjunct professor, student teachers are required to take nine hours in order to meet the full-time enrollment requirement in addition to teaching.
Serpas, a former student who says she was enrolled in "dummy" courses, stet, "I paid for courses that did not show up on my transcript in order to be considered a full-time student."
"If they lowered the number of hours students had to take, it would remedy the situation," Hardin said. "However, the current requirement is partially motivated by gross economics."
Serpas proposed that once graduate students finish their required courses, they should not be required to take more in order to teach. "As a teaching assistant, I paid more money for the courses that I did not need than I received for teaching," she said.
"At most major research universities, assistantships include tuition scholarships or awards. That should be investigated for UH as well," UH Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Edward Sheridan said.
Texas presently does not grant graduate student tuition waivers, unlike most states.
The audit called for the establishment of a institutional administration for graduate studies and a review of current compensation for assistantships and minimum requirements for stipend levels.
In the audit, UH officials projected that a graduate studies dean would be appointed this year.

It could do. We would need to see more of the text to comment, of course.
Thanks for that, but I'm not wholly convinced. If the apparent tail is attached to the R in the line below, as you suggest, I note that the initial letters R of Rog' and of Ryc' don't have such tails.
I do wonder if he wrote x and then attempted to erase it?
Perhaps the OP needs to roughly add up the inventory, just to get a 'ballpark' result?
Didn't mean to post 2 Copies.
To confirm the total of the inventory - as per Bookbox's suggestion - can you add the individual amounts (or post images of the amounts)?
I would gladly add up the inventory but I unfortunately cannot read this number script.
Yes, Ill try and snip the amounts of Williams inventory.


Barber Osgerby can do very little wrong in our eyes. It's one thing for a product design duo to design the odd iconic chair or two (Exhibit A: the Tip Ton chair); it's another for them to come up with the undisputed showstopper in a global design expo (Exhibit B: their beautiful, disorientating Double Space revolving mirror in the V&A's Raphael Gallery for London Design Festival 2014); let alone the symbolic focal point of one of the most viewed television events of the 21st Century (Exhibit C: the 2012 Olympic Torch: over 24 million viewers for the opening ceremony, making it the ninth most popular TV event in UK history).
Such is their international status in the design world, it's no surprise that Jay Osgerby (whose design practice with Edward Barber has now lasted over 20 years) has been invited to select the Collect Open Artists for the Crafts Council's 2018 Collect show (now known in full as The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects), which takes place at London's Saatchi Gallery from 22-25 February 2018.
All of which is a longwinded way of saying: buy the new Barber Osgerby book: so good you might want to invest in one of their award-winning coffee tables to put it on.


Hi, I'm testing your software and I think it's very well done and useful.
Hope you and Your Team at Efficient PIM is doing well and and Happy. Again and again wish you the best of all. I am using your Efficient PIM V 2.98(two times upgraded) as base of all my personal information center. It is really is so convineient that I have forgotten any other one. Even Outlook of windows is not close to it. I have added all the possible information in it and it is very handy and on the tips. It is very fast and retrives the informatin in flash of seconds. I am really enjoying this application.
I really like the program - have compared a few and none have all the features I want except yours.
Hi Guys, I have been using the Efficient PIM (Portable) for some time now, it's cool and helpful. cheers.
I First heard about your products at CNET Reviews. I was looking for Address and Calendar software and read the Editor's reviews about your products. I tried the free downloads and decided it was so good that I would purchase the full version. 2) Biggest influence was it includes everything I could possibly need to get organized, password generator, notes, calendar, to do list etc. 3) The only thing missing is an World Clock, with the difference time zone for difference cities and area and country codes for direct dialing those cities in the Address Book.
I am currently trialling several PIM programs as a replacement to Outlook and I am very impressed with your program.
Hi, Thanks for the great program Efficient PIM.
I tried to tell my wife what a great program EfficientPIM is to keep information in.
I was looking for a replacement for Microsoft Outlook. EfficientPIM was the closest thing I could find available. It is almost perfect and well worth the price. Excellent software, reliable and a good package selection. It could be a true Microsoft Outlook replacement.

Georg Benoit (3 March 1868 – 20 October 1953) was a professor of mechanical engineering at the former TH Karlsruhe (today: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).

Life
Benoit was born in Wesel in 1868. He was raised in a Huguenot family. He studied mechanical engineering at the TH Charlottenburg. After working in the industry sector for a couple of years and serving as director of the Preußische Höhere Maschinenbauschule in Hagen, he was appointed to professorship for elevation and transport machines at the TH Karlsruhe in 1901. This professorship was newly established at that time. He retired in 1935.  While being a professor in Karlsruhe, he was appointed to president in 1911/12 as well as in 1921/22. He died in Baden-Baden in 1953.

Efforts
Benoit worked in the field of aerial lifts and wire rope technology. Under his direction, the first gondola lift providing continuous operation with multiple cabins was designed and built. This was mounted in the Black Forest on the Schauinsland mountain and inaugurated in the summer of 1930.

Architect Martin Stára from Studio Perspektiv, who designed Arval's new offices comments: It is funny that a workplace with an exhaust on the ceiling won in the category "Healthy office". However these elements fit into the company's concept as a leader of the automotive industry. Also the design of the table is noteworthy. It is inspired by the shape of lights of the new Volvo car.
The largest meeting room in the office is named after famous Czech travelers Miroslav Zikmund and Jiří Hanzelka. The impressive wall dominates this room. It has an acoustic function and it also represents dunes on the desert during the African mission of these travelers.
Another element which commemorate the company industry is this table made out of engine and leather armchairs (only these four from the whole office are made of leather).
Impressive reception made out of carbon - material frequently used in the automotive industry.
Nothing for akrophobics. If you flook look down you'll see a futuristic view of an impressively illuminated elevators. In the Main Point building at Pankrác there are two spacious elevators shafts located in the "interspace", which connects separated parts of the building.
A combination of design and functionality. Hotdesk for salesmans is located right next to the enter and offers a possibility to get prepared quickly for another trip. Large lampshades servers as an acoustic element as well.
So-called "wagon" stretches across the office and divides the open space from the meeting rooms. It carries out a variety of roles, including storage, seats for undisturbed calls, telephone "booths" or passages.
Many studies has shown that plants in the workplace can reduce stress by up to 15%. Here at Arval's office they create a nice and effective wall.
ON AIR: One of the call rooms. If someone is inside, the red diode lights up.
Safety first. By the informal sitting next to the kitchen an unusual picture will interest you. It is again connected with Arval. It is made of seat belts. And "Nils Bohlin" meeting room is next door. You don't know who Mr. Bohlin was? The hint is right in front of you! The inventor of a three-point seat belt.
An openspace for 12 people. Why 12? According to architect Martin Stára, this is the ideal quantity. Each work desk has its own portable lamp, which allows individual lighting to be adjusted while being fully flexible. This was also one reason why the Arval offices received a good rating from the jury in the Meeting Room of the Year competition.


The Latin American Studies Association recently announced the Call for Papers for the 2018 conference that will be held in Barcelona, España.
Here's a link to the call for papers. Proposals are due September 7, 2017, 5 pm EDT.
I'm interested in putting together a thematic panel centered on student activism and education in Latin America (Cold War era, but am willing to expand). I plan to submit an abstract where I historicize Chilean university students from 1964-1990 (likely part of a forthcoming chapter of my dissertation). If you are interested in working together and creating a panel, please get in touch with me! Papers should be focused on the history of student activism in education, less so on curriculum and education practices. If you know others who also may be interested, feel free to share.


I've recently changed the way I make my newsfeed ads for my Teespring campaigns. Previously I used to follow this method. After finding out on the Aff Playbook forums that a lot of successful affiliates were doing things differently I decided to switch things up and noticed a considerable jump in CTR.
By considerable I mean almost 40-80%+ CTR! campaigns I usually get 3-4% CTR on I was now getting 6-8%. This means lower costs per view and ultimately gives my campaigns more chance of hitting positive ROI.
The new method is more simpler and should take you less time to create. It looks like the below.
This was created by simply publishing a post on my Facebook page instead of creating it via the power editor. Just follow the steps below.
Just use the first image if you want to copy the red border template for your Teespring advertising campaigns. It should be the exact size I use for mine.
Once posted, you should now be able to select the post from power editor making sure you've selected the page you've published the post in.
Like I've said before, I've noticed a MASSIVE increased in CTR levels with this type of advertising. I'm not exactly sure why but there are a few things that might have influenced it.
1. It's visible to everyone: The method I used before was making what's known as a 'dark post'. It's a post that's NOT visible on the page but is visible to those that are in the selected audience you're advertising to. I used to do this because it'd stop copy cats from getting to my campaigns and ripping them before I've fully capitalized on them.
The new method is visible to everyone! So it would naturally have a higher organic reach as people can share this with others by simply copy and pasting the link. I do this a lot personally.
2. The Image is much bigger: The image is much larger hence has a better chance of catching the audiences attention.
I'm sure there are many other contributors then this but this is all I can think of for now. Try it out! It'll give you a much better chance of success with Teespring and Facebook.
Note: You are VERY open to competition now that your ideas are open to the world to see. There are a lot of smart teespring marketers that continuously scan popular pages for new ideas and use your ideas almost exactly or as inspiration for there designs. To counter this, I'd suggest having 5-10 different pages you use for teespring. Even more if you're big on Teespring marketing. I personally have 20-30 different FaceBook Pages.
Join the Teespring Discussion on the Aff Playbook Forum!
Hey Mateen, I was wondering is it possible to add the link to the image, so that when someone clicks the image they get taken to my Tee springs page?
When you paste the link in the status bar, it should start searching for an image. You can replace this image with your own but the size will remain your average 'newsfeed ad' size. Personally I've tried both and found this way works way better. So have a few other big Teespring affiliates on Aff Playbook so I decided to stick to this method.
Thanks for all the useful information. I am going to launch my first campaign today, hope it goes well!
I've tried both and in terms of sales, they both are pretty similar. Split test yourself and see how you go.
You can go to analytics.teespring.com and it will give you the data you require.
If you have for example one facebook page for the teespring campaign,how much campaigns are you running on the fanpage?
I have launched over 1,000 campaigns on the same FB Page. People don't really care about the FB page, it's engagement etc. If they like the product, they will click the link and buy.


Don't think I've forgotten about the game tutorial!! I haven't. I've been really busy at work and trying to get a new site ready for its BETA opening. Blah. Anyways, I'm almost done will lesson 7 where you'll learn how to write a join, login, logout and lost password script for Pits of Doom.
Hey Greta. I don't know what you're talking about here and I don't feel like going through the previous posts but does this Pits of Doom related to Plex? Are you still working on Plex anyways? Work…good time…..j/k. Alrightie ttyl, I'm just trying to waste time at work as I wait for my long commute through the storm.
The MySQL lessons have been great, I don't want to preempt future tutorials but I would be really interested in your solution to the problem of interaction between clients while those clients are offline.
USER A wants USER B's treasure so USER A issues a command to attack and pillage USER B's castle however traveling to USER B will take time (say 5 hours). USER A issues the attack command and goes offline.
USER B logs on and seeing the impending attack from USER A decides to take all his treasure on a boat ride in the middle of the ocean. USER A attacks USER B's empty castle and his forces start the long march home empty handed.
USER A then logs on to see that his attack was a success but he has no treasure!
The above example is simple however if you add in other variables such as trade + other earnings and expenditure there are many factors that determine the amount of treasure held by USER B at the time of USER A's attack. Also if instead of 2 users you have 2000, your problems multiply.
That is indeed an excellent question. For this particular game tutorial I'm going to cover the only time two people can fight each other is if they're both online.
All multiplayer games have this problem, whether they're running in realtime like World of Warcraft of browser based. There are a few things you can do to try and prevent such things from happening but I wouldn't say there is a 100% foolproof way to overcome it.
The technique that I've always used, and I believe is used in most big industry game is locking. Lets say you have two players A and B who are both going after the same treasure. If player A is the first to touch the treasure, the ability for anyone else to touch that treasure is removed. Once player A makes some kind of action, the lock on the treasure is released.
The biggest problem with this is still, what happens if player A leaves for 5 hours? In this case we can set a timeout on the treasure. If player A doesn't do something with the treasure within a set period of time the lock on the treasure is removed, making it fair game again. Then if player A comes back from their siesta, they'll be happily informed that player B has not only stolen their treasure but destroyed their castle.
One of the things down the road in this tutorial will be how to ensure if someone is still active and online on the game, that way once someone stops playing for an extended period of time their characters go inactive. This will try to prevent situations in which people walk away from their computer in the middle of what they were doing.
Wow… thanks for the quick reply!
My knowledge of SQL and PHP is limited and I have not been able to find any books on SQL / PHP game techniques. I'm learning but need guidance on which approach is more suited to the capabilities of SQL and the PHP language.
One possible way to solve the problem I presented is for a dedicated client to process the queue'd interactions of the players (so that actions in the world are executed in order and at the correct time). For a real-time game this would be probably be unfeasible however for a game where the actions of the player are played out over hours not seconds, it may be valid.
This idea maybe completely inappropriate for SQL / PHP or there maybe aspects SQL / PHP that would provide a much better solution, I just don't know and would like your advice before I go completely in the wrong direction ☺.
Well, I wouldn't call it completely inappropriate (I could see it as a feasible solution to some problems) but I'm not sure that's necessary for a php/mysql game.
When SQL looks at a row it locks the row for the thread. Once the changes/updates/etc have been done it unlocks the row again so another thread can have at it.
You have some kind of process running in the backend that's constantly checking to see which players are active and which are inactive. When it finds an inactive player all of their characters/info, becomes inactive in the game. That way only active players can fight each other.
Now lets say player A and B are fighting. Player B wanders off but player A is still fighting player B's characters. Now here comes our background process that see player B is no longer active, and it's going to make player B's thing's inactive. Only we've set some kind of flag on player A and player B's characters once the battle started. We can have this background process skip over these characters/items in this case. So it makes the rest of player B's things inactive, except for those currently in battle. Even though player B has gone inactive player A can continue fighting.
But for some reason player A decides, hey this guy isn't fighting back, I'm done here. They leave the fighting sequence before they kill player B's character. Our process comes along, sees that player B is still inactive but has active characters/items still. Now that they're no longer in a fight sequence the process can deactivate everything. Player B's characters/items cannot be touched while they're gone.
I'm not sure I see a need to make anything queue based. Whoever makes the fastest action will send their query off to SQL, it'll lock the row, process it, and then go to the next query, and process it. I believe what you're trying to prevent player A killing player B outright because they have a better internet connection. Even if you queue the two player's actions I don't see how that will make a difference here. But perhaps I'm still missing something of the question. If so, let me know.
I believe we have been chatting at cross purposes lol. I'm not trying to prevent offline player interaction but positively promote it, I love the idea of the simulation / interaction being played out while players are offline – it allows for the play experience to be lengthened, reducing load / bandwidth and allowing more players to interact together (less realtime – more actual time 🙂 ).
iv. Optimize using SQL stored procedures once up and running.
Now you know my crazy plan, any potential pitfalls?
I potentially forsee 2 problems: a larger lag time then if you were running all the scripts in real time and potentially more querying then necessary.
For the first problem, lets say you have the players doing their things, you're putting that into a queue, and once the cron runs those changes are put into effect. If you setup the cron so it doesn't exceed a set amount of time you'll have some backup in the queue. Of course you'll always have some amount of backup in the queue, that's the nature of queues, but if your game generates really heavy traffic you may have player A making a change on monday and not seeing the results until wednesday night.
My suggestion to you here would be to allow the player changes in real time, and take into account the current simulation conditions at the time of those changes. So, for instance, lets say it's raining at the time one battle takes place. The cron runs, and the battle is still going on. Now the player's battle can continue with the new conditions in place.
The second potential problem I see is querying the database more often then need be. If you're constantly running the cron then each time you have to check for player actions, perform those player actions, and then do whatever else you need to. That means every time you run the cron you're performing extra queries to check and see if you need to execute player actions. While this might not seem like a huge performance issue, times that by x number of players with y number of actions over z number of times the cron runs in a day. However if you're not running the cron that often this may not end up being much of a problem.
1) Run crons at low traffic times. Reduces the changes of timeouts and row errors.
2) Reduce your queries to a bare minimum. I already spend a fortune in servers for my games and can't afford dual xenons that I really want, however by reducing my queries I've nearly cut my load in half. I tend to do this with classes and objects because quite frankly, bandwidth is cheap and CPU power is not.
3) Proper indexing of your tables can be a lifesaver.
4) Cut any large computational queries into smaller sub queries, that way one query isn't hogging everything all the time. This is especially a good idea for cron jobs. I tend to have 3-4 cron files to split the workload through the night.
As far as I can tell, there is no real "solution" to this problem. If you go with load balancing servers you run just as much problem as you then have to keep the databases current in two places. One thing I'm playing around with for future games is having different servers for different parts of the world. That way you'd literally have to log into one server or the other to play where you wanted to. So there you have it, my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Southeastern novelist sees poetry chapbook published
HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University novelist and English Instructor David Armand had his first chapbook, a small collection of poems, published.
"The Deep Woods" includes 15 poems that are generally about family life, explained Armand, a native of Folsom who lives in Hammond with his wife and two children.
He is the author of three novels, including the award winning book, "The Pugilist's Wife." "The Deep Woods" is his first chapbook of poetry and is published by Blue Horse Press of California.
"I started writing poetry as a teenager, then took it more seriously when in college," said Armand, who received both his bachelor's and master's degrees in creative writing from Southeastern. "I started getting my poems published, and I've developed a passion for it."
In between teaching, writing novels and a soon-to-be released memoir about his mother's life, Armand tries to write poetry every night, after his children have gone to bed.
"I draw my thoughts from my family – the one I grew up with and my current family," he said. "That's why I dedicated this book to my kids."
"David Armand's 'The Deep Woods' is a beautiful collection. In poem after poem, Armand recognizes the importance of the familial, the personal, and the ways in which memory lingers and creates new realities," said William Wright, series editor of "The Southern Poetry Anthology." "The clarity of these poems -- their unimpeded voice -- reveals Armand's greatest strength: to tell stories and to tell them well."
"Good poems bring us home with them for a spell. They build trust over time and share their experiences with us bit by bit," said Jack Bedell, Southeastern professor of English, author of "Come Rain, Come Shine" and editor of the journal, "Louisiana Literature."
"Great poems, though, feel like home from their first line on," he added. "David Armand's 'The Deep Woods' is full of great poems. It's a book of fathers, and of sons, and of a world so real you can smell piney woods and see steam rising off a newborn foal."
"The Deep Woods" is available on Amazon.com and other book retailers.

Uber banned in Brussels
4th January 2019 EABW EditorComment(0)
A Belgian commercial court has declared Uber illegal in Brussels. The Dutch-speaking tribunal of Commerce sided with local taxi companies and outlawed the ride-hailing service in the Belgian capital, ETN News reports.
The court ruled that the law permitted only taxi services to operate whose drivers were in possession of a taxi license and a special light on the roof to operate in Brussels, confirming a ruling delivered in December against the service Uberpop.
Each noncompliance may result in a €10,000 ($11,300) fine for the platform, local media said.
The move is aimed to clarify a decision originally made in 2015, which ordered the US-based company to close its low-cost service with unprofessional drivers, Uberpop, in Brussels while the more expensive UberX service remained unaffected. The December order apparently targets all Uber services, however, the French-speaking side is still considering the case.
Meanwhile, a local taxi firm blames Uber for interpreting the 2015 court decision in its own way to continue operations, RTL reported citing head of Taxis Verts Michel Petre.
Uber says the move has no immediate effect on its activities, the company's lawyer in Belgium, Etienne Kairis, told La Derniere Heure. He also believes that "there is no reason" to block UberX.
The Silicon Valley start-up has a long history of tensions with local cab companies across Europe. The governments of the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Germany sided with traditional taxis that claim the service does not follow local transportation rules and partially banned it.
Some countries fully outlawed the popular app, including Hungary and Bulgaria.
Uber is in hot water at many jurisdictions. In Hawaii, Charley's Taxi and CEO Dale Evans had been an outspoken critic citing security concerns and unfair treatment and made Uber speechless.

Harnessing Impact Sourcing to Achieve a Robust Digital Economy
22nd December 2020 Godfrey Ivudria


We have all felt it in one way or another. The pressure to conform to what is, socially, right or expected. This pressure can come from friends, family, the media. Look in any direction and I guarantee you will find someone telling you how you 'should' be acting.
However, when it comes to social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all the others that seem to be taking over the world one post at a time, you can write and upload what you like, right? As long as it doesn't violate any of their terms then I presume your answer would be: Yes, of course. Hold that thought.
Meet Petra Collins, an artist, photographer, writer and full-time feminist. As someone who freely used social sites she was shocked when an image, posted by herself, caused her Instagram account to be shut down. I know what you are thinking, it must have glorified violence or showing an inappropriate sexual image. My friends, you would be mistaken.
It simply showed her lower half, in bikini bottoms.
Why did that result in her account being shut down? Two words, Pubic Hair.
Let me explain. As mentioned earlier she is a feminist, actively campaigning through her art everyday. As a feminist she does not feel this pressure that is pushed upon women daily to shave her body hair.
Out of the other, '5,883,628' images tagged 'bikini', this particular one caused a stir with the monitors of Instagram and resulted in her account being terminated.
Can I just clarify here. A women, embracing her natural self and sharing this with the public and most probably, in my opinion, making young women question what they consider to be attractive or normal is a problem. Yet, the millions of women showing themselves in bikinis when groomed and conforming to the social norm is okay?
Call me completely crazy but in my mind, this does not make sense.
Never did I think that a social site such as Instagram would attempt to silence a women for accepting her body and sharing that with her followers. For anyone who believes that equality is here and that women are free to show themselves however they wish, take this as a lesson. Oppression is rife.
Instagram need to take responsibility and I, and many others, want to know why they felt her image was inappropriate. Let's see what, if anything, comes of this. No doubt they will continue to silence people without any repercussions, and why, because nobody knows!
Petra's story is the perfect vessel to get answers and tell stories from others who have experienced the same treatment.

San Antonio: Mission Verde, CPS Energy, and (Real Ultimate) Solar Power
February 3, 2009 by
I'm embarrassed.
Greg Harman at the San Antonio Current beat me to covering my own press conference. And he did a way better job than I ever could have done.
The only explanation is that Greg Harman is Superman. Or, that I am one very busy media coordinator who needs to re-align her priorities (from now on, the internet wins!).
I'm so ashamed, it doesn't even seem worth it to write anything myself.
Save me the effort, and go to his post at the San Antonio Current Queblog. Read about how within the span of two weeks, SA's CPS Energy pledged to transition to a decentralized power model (ie, energy created on site rather than at a power plant). Learn how last Thursday, Mayor Hardberger unveiled his visionary Mission Verde Plan to make San Antonio a truly sustainable city. Proceed to Harman's excitement over the sea change at the Legislature, such that fully 15 solar bills have been filed this session.
And then check out his fantastic video, photos, and audio clips. It almost feels like you were there! Watch our very own David Power, solar advocate, announce how the solar industry can provide Texas' next big job boom! Smile as Bill Sinkin and his bow tie refer to solar energy as a full grown child no longer in need of coddling, but still looking for our support. And listen to County Commissioner Tommy Adkisson trumpet that Texas has reached a critical mass and perfect storm for extensive solar power in the state of Texas to finally become a reality.
Hey hey, looks like I can steal his video from youtube. I LOVE THE INTERNET.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDFfv9Scwfo]
You should still go to his post though, because it is wicked awesome and I can't steal his audio clips. Or rather, don't know how.
Also check out the San Antonio Express-New's coverage: Nonprofits say boosting solar capability in Texas could create jobs. We don't "say" so, we know so.
Ten "cool" points if you caught the Real Ultimate Power reference. And by cool, I mean totally sweet.
Check out our official press release after the jump.
Advocates and Business Leaders Forecast Sunny Session for Solar Power
New Study Shows Proposed Legislation Would Create 22,000 Jobs, Reduce CO2 emissions by 29 million tons
San Antonio – A robust solar program would put Texans back to work and position the state as a world leader for solar production, according to new analysis of solar energy's economic development potential. Environmental advocates and business leaders announced today that legislative incentives to support solar development across the state could create 22,000 manufacturing and installation jobs, stabilize energy prices, and avoid 29 million tons of climate change inducing pollution.
"Today we are announcing a massive push to develop solar energy in the state of Texas," said David Power, Deputy Director of Public Citizen's Texas office and an author of the solar report. "We are proud to be here in San Antonio, where Mayor Hardberger and CPS Energy are already taking steps to place San Antonio at the lead of the transition to a new, distributed energy economy."
The report released today by Public Citizen, Environment Texas and Vote Solar, entitled Texas Solar Roadmap, recommends policies to encourage a utility scale solar program and incentives for a small-scale distributed program to put solar panels on homes and businesses across the state.
"The solar rebate program and other incentives recommended in this report would do much to make solar installations affordable for San Antonio homeowners and businesses. Legislation being proposed in Austin could even lead to solar at a scale where the price would be cheaper than traditional types of distributed generation," said Anita Ledbetter, executive director of the Metropolitan Partnership for Energy and Build San Antonio Green.
Other states that have adopted proactive policies to encourage solar have seen major gains in increased power generation, job creation, and economic development. Almost 4,800 MW of large-scale solar projects have been announced in California and Arizona alone, which will create 154,000 jobs, $10.1 billion in earnings and $25.4 billion in economic output over the 20 year life of those plants.
On January 20, 2009, CPS Energy adopted a Sustainable Energy Policy Statement announcing that the company intended to switch from a centralized power model to a distributed, sustainable energy model. Under the new model energy would be created through renewable energy sources such as solar, originating from thousands of businesses and homes, and connected to a smart, multidirectional grid.
Last Thursday, Mayor Hardberger announced his ambitious "Mission Verde" plan to make San Antonio a flagship energy city for the United States through this transition to a distributed energy system. The Mayor's Office predicts that by installing 250 MW of distributed solar, the equivalent of photovoltaic panels on 50,000 homes and 6,000 businesses, San Antonio could create 1,000 permanent local jobs, save rate-payers $30 million on their energy bills, and avoid 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
"As county commissioner and as a former legislator, I can tell you that cities and counties can only do so much. Sometimes it takes legislative action to encourage serious institutional changes. I am proud of CPS Energy's initiative, but alone it will not be enough to push the kind of job creation that Texas could ultimately see from aggressive statewide solar policies," said Bexar County Commissioner Tommy Adkisson.
At least eighteen bills have already been filed to support the deployment of solar technologies, by legislators in both chambers and across the ideological spectrum.
HB 278 (Anchia, D-Dallas) and SB 427 (Shapiro, R-Plano) would require the state's electric utilities to support the development of 2,000 MWs of distributed solar and other on-site renewable technologies by offering direct incentives to consumers and businesses. According to the new report, such a standard could lead to installations on as many as 500,000 roofs in Texas by 2020 at a cost of about 98 cents per month per Texan.
The report recommends that Texas duplicate the success it has had encouraging wind power by setting a goal to add an additional 4,000 MW of diversified clean energy to the grid over the next ten years. This could lead to an increase in utility scale solar generation of 2,000 MW or more.
"I am glad to see San Antonio and the state of Texas taking action to move solar forward. These policies have been a long time coming, and definitely get us started in the right direction. If the legislature passes the right bills, and the city council and the mayor can fully implement their ambitious plans, we will finally be able to bring truly clean, renewable energy in the form of solar power to South Texas," said Bill Sinkin, founder of Solar San Antonio.
Today's event is one seven across the state being held by legislative leaders, the Austin Chamber of Commerce, and environmental organizations such as North Texas Renewable Energy Society, Environment Texas, and the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club.

What better way to help people understand the joy of adoption but to hear it from the mouths of those who have adopted. This space is reserved for Westie Rescue Michigan adopters to tell their success stories and share photos of their adopted Westies.
Butch came into our home 2 years ago. We started out being his foster home. He was our 3rd foster dog that year. Butch was given up by his family because he didn't get along with the age 3 and 18 month year old boys. Butch was 5 1/2 years old when he came into rescue. We did not plan to add another dog to our family, but Butch fit in so well with our 8 year old Westie, Riley, that he stayed. Butch did not like to be picked up, hugged or held when we first got him. We think it was because the toddlers he lived with were not very nice to him. After allowing him some space and letting him know he was safe with us, Butch is now a very loving dog. And he loves our grandchildren, who are taught how to love and respect a dog. We are very happy to have Butch in our lives and Riley loves having a brother.
Nothing is better than a testimonial from a happy customer !
We have had three other westie's in our family – Reggie, Murphy, and Mcgyver . We lost Mcgyver last June and it took a while to come to terms in getting another dog. Murphy, his 11 year old " brother", made our decision easier since it became apparent he just needed some canine companionship and we soon found out, so did we. Spencer- a 6 yr old, was adopted thru the west highland terrier rescue. We found the group extremely organized and professional. Spencer is now part of our family and a true companion to Murphy. We could not be happier with the transition.
If you are looking for a Westie we highly recommend a rescue dog – use the website to fill out an application.
Sweet Petey came into foster care at the age of 12 and we soon discovered a serious medical condition called "Westie Lung Disease". We knew that he was unlikely to find a forever home and his foster mom agreed to make him her permanent foster and she would "walk him home". We are all surprised at how long he has lived. His lungs are progressively worse but Petey's life has been well worth living. While he isn't technically adopted, his mom considers him to be "her boy". Following is a story which shows how much even these older dogs benefit the humans they are with.
Earlier this summer we moved my 95-year-old grandma to an assisted living facility. Petey was used to visiting her every Sunday before she moved, so he now visits her at her new "home" and has become the "therapy dog" for the residents.
He didn't do much "therapy" on his first visit. It was hot outside and Grandma's room was much warmer than what he was used to. We almost had to leave until he found a comfortable spot to cool off. Another time he went to visit and he caused so much commotion because everyone wanted to find that "little white puppy" and visit him. The aides told the residents where he was and there was a line of wheelchairs outside Grandma's room waiting to see Petey. The photo is of Grandma and Petey resting in between a wave of visitors.
Jake came to Rescue as a very young and very sick puppy (See photo album for 2005). He has become a very active little Westie boy. He has titles in Agility, Obedience, Earthdog, Rally and Flyball. He is working on Tracking and Treibball currently.
We'd like to share this short clip of him in a recent Flyball tournament. It was held at the Dinovite facility in Crittenden, Ky.
Many people believe that Westies cannot be trained. We are here to tell you that they can be trained and can do well. Just look at this boy fly!

Il termine sviluppo monosettoriale in economia indica un tipo di strategia gestionale adottata da un'impresa. Questo tipo di gestione da parte di un'impresa consiste nel fatto che questa decide di crescere nell'unico settore in cui opera sfruttando le competenze acquisite.

Conseguentemente, un'azienda che adopera uno sviluppo di tipo monosettoriale, realizza un processo di integrazione orizzontale, con l'obiettivo di rafforzarsi nel settore in cui opera con l'aumento della propria produttività, l'acquisizione di altre aziende (spesso concorrenti) del medesimo settore e con l'espansione produttiva (apertura di nuovi stabilimenti o delocalizzazione) e commerciale.

The holiday shopping season is in full swing. And it couldn't be more important for Nintendo (NTDOY). The video game giant has set a self-imposed goal of selling 20 million Switch consoles by the end of its fiscal year, which wraps up in March 2019. But as of October, the company had sold just 5 million systems.
"The holiday selling season — October, November and December — critically important to our company," Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime told Yahoo Finance.
The Americas are the company's most successful region by revenue, and the holiday season is the region's biggest driver. "We typically do, in the Americas, about 60% of our revenue during that time frame. The reason that it's so significant is first, our products make great gifts. Whether you're talking about Nintendo Switch, whether you're talking about Nintendo 2DS, we really do well with that gift- giving occasion," Fils-Aime said.
It's nearly Black Friday, and Fils-Aime is ready to sell, sell, sell! In a hotel suite overlooking Manhattan's Central Park, Fils-Aime put out a spread of Nintendo's holiday offerings, including a Switch bundled with "Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" for $299 and a Nintendo 2DS with "Super Mario Maker" for $79.
But with heavy hitters like "Marvel's Spider-Man" and "Red Dead Redemption 2" helping to push sales for Sony's (SNE) PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox One, Nintendo has its work cut out for it in the coming weeks.
Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime.
But it's a no small miracle that Nintendo is even in a position to sell 20 million consoles in a year. It wasn't long ago that the company was almost written off entirely. Its Wii U console was a commercial flop, and sales of its traditional handheld systems were slowing.
The Switch, however, made Nintendo the comeback story of 2017— and a force to be reckoned with in 2018. But as Fils-Aime explained, the lessons of the past aren't lost on the company.
The Nintendo Switch with 'Mario Kart 8 Deluxe' is on sale for $299 this holiday shopping season.
The gaming industry, though, is in flux. There are more gamers than ever before — and they're more connected. And Nintendo isn't one to jump on the latest trend without studying it intently, which can be to the company's detriment. The company's online offerings have historically been behind the curve compared to Sony's and Microsoft's.
But Nintendo's hesitance may be changing. The company is investing in game-streaming technology, which allows players to stream games Netflix-style to virtually any device with an internet connection. The tech will reduce the need for consumers to buy expensive hardware, while allowing them to access any game they want, as long as the developer has a deal with Nintendo.
Sony has its own PS Now service that lets players stream games, while Nvidia (NVDA) offers its GeForce Now streaming service. Microsoft and Google have also announced that they're working on similar offerings.
Nintendo, Fils-Aime explained, is currently testing the technology in Japan, since that country's internet infrastructure is more robust than that of the U.S. The hope is to ensure that streaming is as rock solid as possible if and when Nintendo begins offering the service to consumers.
"We're certainly observing everything that's happening in the western markets form a streaming technology standpoint," Fils-Aime said.
"I myself have tried the Google experience, and so it's something that absolutely we're all looking at. In the end though, it has to be a great experience for the consumer, and the Google experience that I had, there's a bit of lag, and when that happens, as a consumer, you get frustrated," he said.
It would also stand to reason that if Nintendo were to deploy a streaming service of its own, Switch owners would be able to play the kind of resource intensive games that the PS4, Xbox One and high-end gaming PCs can only provide.
Nintendo has also jumped into the cross-play arena, a move that allows "Fortnite" players who have a Switch to get online and play against Microsoft Xbox owners. That's something that would have been virtually unheard of in previous years.
With cross-play compatibility, Switch and Xbox One owners can compete against each other.
To be clear, Nintendo and Microsoft aren't necessarily working together. Rather, they are working with game developers to ensure that they have the tools needed to enable cross-play.
And it's not out of the kindness of Nintendo's heart that it enabled cross-play compatibility. It's a way to ensure that gamers who want a Switch don't avoid purchasing one because their friends have Xboxes.
After taking serious heat from the gaming community, Sony eventually agreed to enable cross-play compatibility as well.
Nintendo isn't resting on its laurels, either. In his final pitch for the company, Fils-Aime seemed to channel Steve Jobs when discussing how Nintendo will move forward.
Fils-Aime points to the company's Nintendo Labo cardboard crafting setup, as proof that the video game giant is set on continuing to try new things even if, like the Wii U, it backfires.
"The consumer didn't know that there was fun to be had with cardboard kits in an interactive experience, and the ability to create your own types of experiences using cardboard," he said.

Ok… I know I have posted it before, but I have to post it again. Please bring your pets inside during these cold spells. I have suggested it as a precaution on most winter nights, but when temperatures dip this low it really does become a matter of life and death. Although they are equipped with fur coats, dogs and other domestic animals can still suffer from frostbite and exposure, and they can become dehydrated when water sources freeze. Here are some other tips to keep your pets safe and comfy when the weather is harsh.
Don't allow your cat or dog to roam freely outdoors. During winter, cats sometimes climb under the hoods of cars to be near warm engines and are badly injured or killed when the car is started.
If your dogs spend much time outside and they are lean, you should increase food rations during cold spells because they are burning more calories to keep warm. Don't free feed, but up their food. I recommend a food higher in fat and protein. I look for a food with 25%-32% protein and 10%-15% fat for most healthy dogs. Canidae, Solid Gold, Taste of the Wild, and Merrick foods are some good options. If you normally feed a "diet" dog food, you may want to go to a regular food and cut the amount down a little during extreme cold. Also, be sure that animals are free of internal parasites, which can rob them of vital nutrients.
Wipe off your dogs' or cats' legs, feet, and stomachs after they come in from the snow. Salt and other chemicals can make your animals sick if they ingest them while cleaning themselves. If they get very wet and have longer coats dry your pet thoroughly to the skin. Wet fur left against skin can cause issues like hot spots. Also dogs paws will ball up with ice and just plain get cold. If your dog starts to limp… his paws are getting to cold, and it is time to go in.
If your dog must be left out while you are at work; make sure that they have shelter. Doghouses should be made of wood (because metal is a poor insulator) and positioned in a sunny location during cold weather. Raise the house off the ground several inches and put a flap over the door to keep out cold drafts. Use straw for bedding—rugs and blankets can get wet and freeze.
Now you also may consider a heat lamp. They can be a great option, but a warning. If they fall into straw or bedding they can get hot enough to start a fire. Cords might be temping for some dogs to chew and that could be a serious electrical hazard for your pet. Another issue is that if a wet, snowy dog shakes and that cold water hits the hot bulb there is a good chance that it will shatter leaving glass on the dogs bed and/or frighten him enough that he stays out of his shelter. I myself think the benefits out-weigh the dangers here.
Even well equipped "Husky" breeds suffer when temperatures dip below zero.

Detail by detail, the fairytale wedding came to life.
While South Africa is still in a celebratory mood, we take a look at how the most anticipated wedding of 2019 - the #KFCWedding - was planned. Speaking to the woman behind organising the wedding, South Africa's event maven, Precious Thamaga, shares heart-warming details about her experience with the Mkansi's.

Precious says she was drawn to pledge because of the couple's love story. "I was in a meeting when my phone kept on getting notifications from Twitter mentions from users asking me to pledge to organise the wedding. After the meeting I had a look at Twitter and immediately was drawn to their love story," she says.

Despite not knowing if she would be available for the wedding, she agreed to do it and planned a surprise to meet the couple. Precious visited the couple at their home without knowing if the bride would recognise her, however, as soon as Nonhlanhla walked in, it was clear that the bride knew Precious from some of her previous work.
The surprise meeting is what gave birth to the royal theme of the wedding after Precious' first question to the couple was – "If you had all the money in the world, what would you want your wedding to be like?"
Nonhlanhla said that she wanted to feel like a queen, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Inspired by the bride's first gown, a simple satin off-shoulder dress, Precious wanted to portray the couple's love story by going for a classic look in using A colour combination reminiscent of Buckingham Palace - champagne, green and a touch of gold.

Although the couple wanted to share their big day with the nation by using a bigger venue, they opted for a much more private and intimate venue after considering the costs to accommodate everyone. Precious chose Thaba Eco Hotel, as the wedding venue not only because she used it for her own wedding but because of the relationship she has developed with the owner who offered the use of the venue free of charge.
The challenges experienced by the planner on this journey was the brands and individuals who pledged but pulled out last minute, including those who pledged to provide the wedding rings.

Thankfully Precious has built a lot of relationships in the events industry and had TGF and Sterns save the day.
The décor pieces that stood out for Precious were the floral arrangements for the reception, the touches of colour and the main table where the couple sat. The plain white 4 tier cake with flower details topped the wedding off.
Speaking fondly of Nonhlanhla, Precious says, "The wedding was authentic. Nonhlanhla told me she wanted to feel like a queen and she trusted me with everything else. She was calm, she voiced her concerns calmly, and was appreciative.

"With all the sponsors who pulled out, I went out of my way to ensure her day wasn't mediocre as my name was on the line too. Someone like Nonhlanhla deserves everything she got."
Although planning the wedding was challenging as I had only three weeks to plan it, I had my last wedding of the year on 14 and to 15 December however I had to ignore how tired I was and enjoy the process.
"This wedding is definitely one for the books, from their love story to their personalities, you had to be happy being around them. I learnt a lot about loving someone despite what the world says (in reference to the initial shaming of the couple's proposal). The world is so full of possibilities," says Precious, adding that she is truly inspired by everyone who made contributions towards the wedding.

What Were the Hottest Tech Trends in 1776?
Dave Spencer Published: July 3, 2016
Hulton Archive/Getty Images
It's probably weird to think of the phrase "hottest tech trends" and "1776" in the same train of thought, but I suppose TECHNOLOGY has always been with us.
I ran across a blog ABOUT such tech trends and what figurative seeds were being planted 240 years ago.
What I discovered was a list of things, many of which we all take for granted every single day.
Although I've long believed that underwater travel--submarines--really didn't hit its stride until the mid-1800s, something called the "Turtle" was employed in 1776 to attach explosives to the undersides of ships. And it was manned.
Sticking with this theme, a man from England developed a leather-covered suit for diving that came equipped with a windowed helmet a bunch of tubes that were used for breathing.
Sounds like scuba to me.
Plus, there was the toilet and the stove and even multi-tasking...something with which most of us are all too familiar but probably didn't realize there was a device for it 240 years ago.
Fascinating little bits of history here with which an old history teacher of mine would have had a FIELD day.

I don't often do female characters, strangely enough? Not intentionally, however. In Marky, Slash & Levy, there was Whisper, who became a big-time character in Book Four. Lexi (The Cat) is female, in the book and in real life. I have changed that up with The Boondock Kids, Sindy & Cristena are two of my four main characters and for the first time in six novels the forces of evil is helmed by none other than Queen Zardana! A fitting tribute, I feel, to make a female, not only a character but half of the main characters of the story and the lead antagonist to boot! I am excited to uncover how ruthless Queen Zardana will become, the wonderful thing about creating characters, for me, is that I find myself shocked at how much they will grow and take on a life of their own!
As for now, the origin of Queen Zardana is somewhat of a mystery. No one in Spyderia knows just where she came from or calls home, but it is quite clear that she is a force to be reckoned with and has no intention of losing her control that she possesses over half of Spyderia! The Boondock Kids are in for a battle!

Q: Repeating a Step x times in Spring Batch I'm using Spring Batch 3.0.3 configured with annotation to create a batch job that repeats a step an undetermined number of times.
My first step will read into memory a list of items used during the repeating step. I'd like the repeating steps to iterate through this job-scoped list.
How can I configure my job to run the same step x times? I've seen examples in xml of a step specifying the next step to run. I'm thinking I could point two steps to each other in an infinite loop until the list has been iterated. Would this work and is there a way to do it with annotations? Below is my main configuration file with some code that wasn't working.
@ComponentScan(excludeFilters = @Filter(IgnoreDuringScan.class))
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableBatchProcessing
@Loggable
public class BatchCrudConfiguration
{
    @Bean
    public Job batchCRUDJob(JobBuilderFactory jobBuilderFactory, Step[] processSheetSteps)
    {
        JobBuilder jobBuilder = jobBuilderFactory.get("batchCRUDJob").incrementer(new RunIdIncrementer());
        FlowBuilder<FlowJobBuilder> jobFlowBuilder = jobBuilder.flow(processSheetSteps[0]);
        for (int i = 1; i < processSheetSteps.length; i++)
        {
            jobFlowBuilder = jobFlowBuilder.next(processSheetSteps[i]);
        }
        return jobFlowBuilder.end().build();
    }

    @Bean
    public Step[] processSheetSteps(
            StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory,
            RawDataReader[] readers,
            DelegatingWriter writer,
            DelegatingProcessor processor,
            @Value("${batchcrud.chunkSize}") int chunkSize)
    {
        int numberOfReaders = readers.length;
        Step[] steps = new Step[numberOfReaders];
        for (int i = 0; i < numberOfReaders; i++)
        {
            steps[i] = stepBuilderFactory.get("processSheet" + i + "Step").<RawData, DataItem>
                    chunk(chunkSize).reader(readers[i]).processor(processor).writer(writer).build();
        }
        return steps;
    }

A: The way I'd approach this is via the following:

*

*First step loads the list.

*Second step processes an item in the list.

*The second step has a StepExecutionListener that evaluates if there are more items in the list to process.  If so, it returns an ExitStatus that maps to the same step.  If not, it returns an ExitStatus that maps to end the job or continue the job (based on the rest of the flow).

For example:
StepExecutionListener
public class MyListener {

    @Autowired
    private List myItems;

    @AfterStep
    public ExitStatus afterStep(StepExecution stepExecution) {
        if(myItems.size() > 0) {
            return new ExitStatus("CONTINUE");
        }
        else {
            return new ExitStatus("FINISHED");
        }
    }
}

Job Configuration
...
@Bean
public Step step1() {...}

@Bean
public MyListener listener() {..}

@Bean
public Step step2(MyListener listener) {
    return stepBuilder.get("step2")
                .tasklet(myTasklet()) // Replace this piece as needed
                .listener(listener).build();
}

@Bean
public Job job1(Step step1, Step step2) {
    return jobBuilder.get("job1")
                     .start(step1)
                     .next(step2).on("CONTINUE").to(step2).on("FINISHED").end()
                     .build();
}
...

Note I have not tested this code so there may be typos, etc.

United to Co-Locate FreshTech, Fresh Marketplace Shows
WASHINGTON The United Fresh Produce Association has announced that its 2008 FreshTech and Fresh Marketplace shows will be co-located in Las Vegas next year, May 4-8. The arrangement has been a goal of United Fresh ever since the association was formed in September 2006 from a merger of the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association and the International Fresh-cut Produce Association. This year,
WASHINGTON — The United Fresh Produce Association has announced that its 2008 FreshTech and Fresh Marketplace shows will be co-located in Las Vegas next year, May 4-8.
The arrangement has been a goal of United Fresh ever since the association was formed in September 2006 from a merger of the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association and the International Fresh-cut Produce Association. This year, United FreshTech — formerly the IFPA Fresh-Cut Expo — took place April 25-28 in Palm Springs, Calif. Meanwhile, United Marketplace — formerly the United Produce Expo and Conference — will begin this Saturday, May 5, in Chicago.
The two shows have distinct themes — with FreshTech focusing on produce industry technology, food safety, logistics and supply-chain issues, while Marketplace focuses on marketing, merchandising and other retail-level issues.
"These two unique trade shows serve very different business needs for exhibitors and attendees that we will continue to foster," said United Fresh Co-Chairmen Mark Miller, Fresh From Texas, and Maureen Marshall, Torrey Farms, in a statement. "Each show will have its own designated exhibit floors to ensure strong attendee focus on the separate exhibits. But our Board also believes that offering the shows side by side over the same dates can increase the cost-effectiveness of the events to our industry while adding increased value to all attendees."
Co-location is also an answer to demand from the association's members. "It's become clear that new developments in food safety, quality assurance, and technical systems are no longer just the purview of technical staff, but are really important business considerations that top management also needs to see on a trade show floor and discuss in educational conferences," said Tom Stenzel, president of United Fresh.
Also, The Food Marketing Institute will co-locate its 2008 booth exhibit show with United Marketplace, along with Marketechnics and the FMI Pharmacy Conference, at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas.

To mark Age UK's first ever Bobble Day (Friday 11th February), a bright orange diver has risked life and limb to show his support for the Charity by making a giant orange bobble surrounded by a school of sharks (pictured above). Age UK hopes that as many people as possible will either join the Extreme Bobbling craze, buy or make an orange bobble and wear it for the day, or think of another way to help turn the nation orange today to highlight the 250 older people who die needlessly every day in winter as a result of the cold*.
Whether you're an adrenaline junkie inspired by the fearless shark diver to take extreme bobbling to the next level, or more of a backstage-bobbler determined to show your support by baking a carrot cake topped with orange icing for your colleagues, everyone is being encouraged to get involved.
Photos of your bobbling adventures, be they skydiving whilst eagerly making your very own bobble or taking the plunge by wearing an outrageous orange outfit at your office or school, can be shared at www.ageuk.org.uk/bobbleday, where you can also find instructions on how to make a bobble. Donations can be made to Age UK by visiting www.ageuk.org.uk/bobbleday or calling 0800 169 87 87. Alternatively, people can pop into a local Age UK shop on high streets across the country to buy a limited edition bobble for a suggested donation of £1 (while stocks last).
Nell McAndrew, model and Age UK Ambassador, said: "I'm not sure I'm ready to hop into the shark tank, but I shall be wearing my fluffy orange bobble with pride. So come on, go orange and show us what you've been doing to support Bobble Day! Have fun but remember that each time you wear your bobble or go orange in some way you will be remembering the 250 older people that die needlessly every day in winter due to the cold. Let's all get involved and help make a difference to vulnerable older people across the UK - and who knows, perhaps Extreme Bobbling could be the next big thing!"
Other celebrities already spotted out and about modelling their bright orange bobbles include actresses Barbara Windsor, June Whitfield and Helen Mirren; TV presenter Penny Smith; Christopher Biggins; and Coronation Street stars Malcolm Hebden (Norris Cole) and Julie Hesmondhalgh (Hayley Cropper).
Bobble Day is part of Age UK's Spread the Warmth campaign. Too many older people are suffering and dying needlessly in winter due to lack of warmth, so Age UK created Spread the Warmth to help tackle the issue. The Charity and its local and national partners are making winter warmer by providing information, advice and practical services to help older people keep warm and well in the colder winter months. Our partners offer a variety of services to help with heating, health and human contact including things like helping to claim benefits, getting warm and nutritious meals to older people, and helping to keep homes warm.
Paul Farthing, Director of Fundraising at Age UK, said: "Our Spread The Warmth campaign has been running throughout the winter months to draw attention to the danger that the cold weather can bring to thousands of older people. This is our first Bobble Day and we're urging people to have fun, get involved, and help highlight the serious issue of older people's welfare to as many people as possible. Funds raised by Bobble Day will go towards the life-changing work we do in winter."
"If you've not yet had a chance to buy your bobble from one of the Age UK shops, you can make a donation to the work we're doing by logging on to www.ageuk.org.uk/bobbleday."
