After July, October is the second most popular month in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's easy to see why. Temperatures are cooler, sunny days brighter, and best of all, the mountains are ablaze with brilliant color. What's more, the Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge area hosts activities galore throughout the month, so you'll never lack fun things to do.
In late September, the leaves start turning throughout the Tennessee Smokies. By mid-October they're typically at peak color, with vivid displays of bright orange, red, and gold. "Peak time" varies slightly from year to year, and it's earlier at higher elevations. But you're sure to see beautiful hues throughout October.
What's more, you can view the whole glorious show from the comfort of your own vehicle. Take a scenic drive along the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, a paved, six-mile, one-lane loop, accessible from the Historic Nature Trail Road in Gatlinburg. Or venture 27 miles southwest of Gatlinburg to the Cades Cove Loop Road, a paved one-lane route that winds through 11 miles of breathtaking autumn scenery.
Both roads give you access to popular hiking trails, for a more intimate look at fall color.
Don't care to drive? Try the trolley! Choose from several round-trip options, including the popular Tan route, running from Gatlinburg to the Park's Elkmont Campground and back – with gorgeous fall foliage all along the way.
Leap peeping is just the beginning. From October 6-23, 2016, the Gatlinburg Convention Center hosts the 41st Annual Fall Craftsmen's Fair, with more than 180 booths showcasing the unique creations of America's finest skilled craftspeople. Go anytime between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily (till 5 on Sundays). Stroll through the fair, watch craftspeople demonstrating their crafts, purchase one-of-a-kind products, and enjoy rousing music shows - Gospel, bluegrass, and country.
Love outdoor fairs? You're in luck. From October 14-16, 2016, Sevierville hosts the Wears Valley Fall Fest, three full days of family fun amid stunning mountain scenery. From crafts booths to tractor pulls to pumpkin painting and much more, there's plenty to do and see. Don't miss the foot-stompin' live entertainment or the mouthwatering food, from steak-on-a-stick (a festival favorite) to kettle corn and BBQ, plus Greek and Italian specialties.
If you've never seen an old-fashioned grist mill, you're in for a treat. Right in the heart of Pigeon Forge, the Old Mill (built 1830) still grinds every day. Watch the giant water wheel as it powers the mill, see potters and artisans at work, visit an authentic general store, check out a candy kitchen and creamery, and dine on delicious Southern cuisine - all in one historic riverfront area.
Nothing says "fall" like crisp, crunchy apples. At Sevierville's Apple Barn Cider Mill & General Store (built c. 1910), you'll find a flourishing apple orchard with more than 4,000 trees... along with a cider room, pie kitchen, candy factory, and farmhouse restaurant offering scrumptious apple-filled delicacies.
You'll find so much to do in the Smokies this fall, from hiking and bicycling to museum hopping and wildlife watching. Best of all, you can end every fun-filled day in a homey mountain cabin, complete with cozy amenities like hot tub and fireplace. Contact Volunteer Cabin Rentals now to book your October getaway.

Ben Griffin finds himself in LA with nothing better to do than review the Range Rover Long-Wheelbase Autobiography Black. It’s a hard life.
In the age of ‘celebrity’ Jaguar Land Rover knows it makes financial sense to push away from its off-roading roots and into the lucrative luxury market. So here we are with the long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography Black Edition, a car that on the face of it sounds like a winner, packing all the usual Range Rover ruggedness, but with more luxury and leg room. Who could resist?
It makes great sense on paper, but as we cruised the superficial streets of Santa Monica and Venice Beach, we began to ponder whether throwing extra bling at such a hardy and rugged vehicle makes it less Kevin Spacey and more Joey Essex. Should Land Rover stick to tricky terrain or is it right to forge a path where the streets are paved with gold? We decided to find out.
At first glance it seems like not a lot separates the Range Rover Long-Wheelbase from its shorter sibling, but there are a few key differences. It’s longer for a start — this version has a stretched rear door and the body has been extended noticeably. It also features a smattering of Autobiography badges that give the hyper-luxury game away.
There’s also more chrome than usual, including on the tailgate and front vents as well as 7-spoke alloys of the chrome variety and a unique grille up front. Each subtle adjustment is well implemented an doesn’t negatively affect the Range Rover’s strangely alluring box design, although we feel the chrome alloys look cheap up close ─ almost plastic.
Tall people will love this thing. Prince William is already driving one, apparently, and when you step inside you can see why the 6’3″ ginger monarch would probably get on well with it — it’s massive. The standard Range Rover was adequate for all but the tallest of humans, but with 7.3 inches of extra legroom, even NBA basketball players will fit comfortably inside this thing — you can swing a cat in it.
Land Rover has made the most of this additional space by allowing the rear seats to recline by 17 degrees, 8-degrees more than in the standard Range Rover. That’s not quite enough to lie flat, but at least you can gaze out of the sizeable panoramic sunroof without straining your neck.
Just about everywhere you look there’s some sort of gadget, wood or leather, making it feel luxurious and well equipped. We were half expecting a butler to pop out but to no avail. Cubby holes, cup holders and storage areas are plentiful.
The Range Rover Autobiography Black Edition uses Land Rover’s epic 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, and so is just as rapid as its standard equivalent, even though its gigantic proportions might indicate otherwise. Plant your foot and it surges forward at staggering pace, accelerating effortlessly on demand at just about any speed. The noise of the big engine at full tilt is addictive but not overpowering, owning to a fair amount of sound proofing.
The Range Rover feels right at home in everything from the winding hills of Santa Monica to stop/start city traffic. The gear changes are incredibly smooth and the suspension is composed without being too firm over lumps and bumps. You are always aware of the size of the Range Rover (in contrast to the logic-defying BMW X5) but it’s a really forgiving car to drive and one that makes you feel safe, at that.
If money were no object we would go for the boisterous V8 we drove, but 17mpg isn’t sustainable long term unless you’re a ginger prince. You’ll spend less time and money at fuel forecourts if you opt for the TDV6.
You would expect the most expensive Range Rover ever to include a generous equipment list, and the Autobiography Black Edition doesn’t disappoint. A panoramic sunroof and door blinds are standard on the long-wheelbase version so you can block out the sight of peasants while gazing up at the stars as heated massing seats caress your weary buttocks.
In the back you can expect much the same story. In fact, it’s actually more comfortable. There are fold-down tables for resting your gin and tonic and a pair of 10.2-inch displays located below the headrest of the passenger seats. The displays are quite chunky, but are a pleasure to watch — unless you’re prone to car sickness, of course.
The back seats also benefit from reclining and massage functionality as well as dual-zone climate control. If that’s not enough, you can activate a mood lighting feature that lets you choose from a range of 10 colours as you sit back and enjoy the quite excellent, and easy to use, audio system.
Sadly, the navigation software proved a bit annoying on our LA test route, which was especially annoying in a city that operates on blocks. It’s all too easy to misinterpret its instructions, and we weren’t alone in doing so. Even the LAPD officers tasked with ferrying journalists along the route revealed they’d seen their fair share of lost hacks.
If we had the money (and space in the garage) the Range Rover Long-Wheelbase would be a tempting choice. We think the standard version is one of the best cars on the road and the long-wheelbase flavour, with its added legroom and luxury, is more of the same in a slightly longer, more opulent, package.
By no means is it cheap, but at least the extra legroom, comfy seats and extensive gadget list might help you forget it costs as much as a house. If you want the ultimate 4×4 that’s just as at home ferrying around oil tycoons as it is driving over sand dunes, this is the perfect option for you. But not Kevin Spacey ─ he drives a Mini Cooper, apparently.

Members of the cast from two Black Box 2nd year Productions 'The Women' by Clare Boothe Luce and 'Semi Monde' by Noel Coward share their processes in suing LMA in rehearsal.
There are a number of organisations and individuals across the UK, Europe and beyond who hold archive materials produced by Rudolf Laban, his colleagues or pupils or which are in some way linked to Laban’s work. Some key organisation for these collections include National Resource Centre for Dance (University of Surrey), Trinity Laban, Leeds University, Tanzarchiv Leipzig and the Kunsthaus in Zurich. However, there are many more treasures held in other institutions or within personal collections. This group would like to encourage not only those who hold collections to contribute but also any individual interested in exploring and discussing Laban's work through reference to archive sources.
The purpose of this group is dialogue and sharing about how LMA is being or has been applied to the exploration of improvised movement within any context.
This is a group for discussions and postings of events, workshops, jobs, etc. for practitioners in the Midwest. We should be more supportive and collaborative rather than competitive if we wish Movement Direction and Movement Study to grow in popularity and practice in the Midwestern US.
This group explores the original work of Rudolf Laban, F.C. Lawrence, and Warren Lamb applying dance and movement analysis theories to the study of behavior in the workplace. Topics to be discussed include leadership, teamwork, and personal development in the context of decision making.
The method I teach has now acquired the quite simple name of “Russian Movement”, mainly in the USA, but it is a discipline that draws upon not only the rich tradition of Russian psychophysical actor-training, but is also deeply influenced by acrobatics, martial arts, and yoga. The creator of this method is Andrei Droznin, one of the most famous movement coaches in Russia, the founding members of the Tabakov Studio in Moscow and the Stanislavsky Summer School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His unique system of training combines Meyerhold's biomechanics, Stanislavsky's System, and the achievements of other great Russian directors such as Vakhtangov and Tairov. His widely recognized technique has become an essential part of theatre training programs throughout the world. The basic principles underlying my teaching are the provocation of an actor's inner impulses for self-development and the discovery of hidden abilities and spatial awareness. Special emphasis is placed on work in pairs where actors learn to hear their partner's body impulses, give immediate physical responses and elaborate a common rhythm of movement. These goals are achieved by means of various stretching exercises, individual acrobatics and acrobatics in pairs. The most important component of this method involves training the body's reactions, efficient operating of the body's center of gravity, and developing speed in impulse and movement. The physical training helps an actor develop a security with their body leading to a greater range of physical movement choice. “Russian Movement” also provokes the actor’s creativity by encouraging him to immediately use every bit of information received in devising movement phrases, combination of phrases and short pieces.
If we want to research and analyse physical acting, how do we document the process of training using movement, space, rhythm and voice? ‘Physical Actor Training – an online A-Z’ is a two-year Leverhulme-funded project. The research team (Paul Allain, Stacie Lee Bennett, Frank Camilleri, Peter Hulton) will develop for Methuen Drama Bloomsbury an A-Z of terms comprising a series of over 50 films as a means to best capture the experience of foundational training, including both trainer and trainees’ perspectives. The resource aims to show the complexity of the training process from a richer perspective than just another ‘How to Act’ guide using a range of digital tools. For more information please visit www.thedigitalperformer.co.uk To view the films click on ‘An introduction to physical actor training an online A-Z’ and scroll to the start survey button.
Rachelle shares her publications, links to her work and articles relating to movement, emotion regulation through movement. You can also listen to Rachelle's podcast here. Connect with Rachelle here or via her member's profile..
Reckless Ensemble Theatre is based in Chicago, IL. We use the physical theater expertise and experience of all our members to create a unique approach to text. Mission: Reckless Ensemble Theatre examines the human experience through physically dynamic storytelling. Promoting new plays and reimagining classic works, Reckless Ensemble Theatre intensifies the theater going experience using the human body as an expressive force. Reckless Ensemble Theatre is dedicated to offering equal and diverse creative opportunities as well as classes for adults and children.
This Group aims to make enquiry into the nature of the relationships between Movement, Philosophy and Psychology. Using Laban's framework for understanding these relationships in the first instance, but also an investigation using other epistemologies in other fields in order to further our knowledge for research and practice purposes. All welcome.
Do you use Chekhov technique in your movement work? Recognising shared principles and synergies between movement work in the tradition of Laban and in Michael Chekhov's technique, I am interested to hear from movement people who use Chekhov technique in their work, perhaps blending it with other approaches. This includes the areas of movement direction, teaching movement for actors, dance, choreography and dramaturgy. I am part of the research project 'Michael Chekhov technique in the 21st Century: New Pathways'. I would be delighted if you got in touch to let me know what you are doing/thinking/exploring, to give me more of a sense of how and whether the technique is being used.

If A Judge Needs To Empower Daughters To Support Parents, We Know Something Is Wrong Here!
Home > Social Issues > If A Judge Needs To Empower Daughters To Support Parents, We Know Something Is Wrong Here!
Why is it that we need a Court to step in and empower daughters that they too can and should support their parents? Are laws and rulings alone enough to eradicate patriarchy from India?
A Bombay High Court verdict in a particular Vasant vs. Govindrao Upasrao Naik case earlier this year, is a progressive one and a step in the right direction. As per the judgement, as the married daughter had sufficient means, she is also obliged to support her parents.
Unfortunately, this also reflects that patriarchy is so deep rooted in our society, that something as simple and fair as a child supporting her parents, also needs to go to court and needs a judge to deliver a verdict!
Law amendments empowering women definitely make one feel that we are moving towards being a progressive nation; however does it really create considerable change at the grassroots? I am not so sure.
The Dowry Prohibition Act has been in place since 1961 and the section 498A which makes it a criminal offence, since 1983 – close to 55 years and 33 years respectively. One would think that even if any change in the society takes time to come around, half a century should have been good enough to completely eradicate dowry and the menaces which tag along with it. However it is not so. Dowry is rampant and so are dowry related crimes.
A particular article in the Telegraph UK a couple of years ago says that there were close to 8000 deaths in the year 2012. Another article from 2015 quotes a number close to 24,000 is the prior 3 years. And these numbers are just deaths and official figures around deaths. There would be so many not reported, and so many women who might not die but go through living hell.
This does not mean that we do not need these laws; we definitely do. Along with it, we need a highly focused educational system in place which calls out all our societal evils and educates young minds on the need for fairness and empathy. Empowering our girls and boys and sensitizing them should go hand in hand and it has to start young.
Only then can we have hope to see a society which we are currently trying to enforce by law, but are not yet completely able to.
I strongly agree with your post Rumanna. Laws alone are not enough. Education is the key. But here I would like to emphasise that our education must strive more to address these issues. In literature or history we need to shift the focus to highlighting the evils of these social customs that defy common sense. I feel that from school itself this awareness and empowerment should start. Most educated people are as compliant with dowry demands and ridiculous harmful customs as the uneducated in India. This shows the glaring gap in our education system that churns out graduates and post graduates by the thousands but has fallen short in enabling individuals to be thinkers – to use logic and reasoning to understand and frame our world rather than customs and traditions. The whole problem is educated individuals too often just go with the flow, like one of the herd. They feel no sense of disruption or imbalance when their learning is contradictory with there experiences. They use learning and education only to earn bigger salaries yet their way of life and understanding may be grossly small minded and ignorant.
Yes Sonia. It has to be inculcated in our education system. Denouncing some of these social evils.

The strategy for the Midland College baseball team as it fights to qualify for next month’s regional tournament is to play loose and have fun.
That approach seemed to work for the Chaparrals against Luna Community College on a warm Friday afternoon at Christensen Stadium as they run-ruled the Rough Riders in both games of a doubleheader. In the first game, Caleb Koedyker keyed a 12-hit attack with two home runs and five RBI in a 12-2 victory in six innings. Then in the second game, Chris Thibideau and Justin Clarkson keyed a 19-hit barrage in a 13-3 victory in seven innings.
With the doubleheader sweep, the Chaparrals improved to 27-22 and 13-17 in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference to stay in the postseaon race.
A big key for the offense was leadoff hitter Blaine Prescott being productive at the plate and jump-starting the offense with most of his at-bats. The freshman second baseman from Amarillo was 6-for-9 at the plate with a home run, three RBI and four runs scored on the day.
Prescott helped to get things started for the Chaps in the first game when he led off with a double and later scored on a Chris Shaw single inning to tie the game at 1 in the first inning.
Koedyker gave MC a 3-1 lead in the third with a two-run shot to left in the third. And then the Chaps added five more runs in the fourth on three hits -- including a two-run homer by Prescott -- a walk and a throwing error from Luna starter Santos Carrasquillos that led to two runs for an 8-1 lead.
Then with MC leading 9-2 in the sixth, Koedyker ended the game with his second home run of the game and 10th of the season with a three-run shot to left field.
Brandon Courville (3-6) picked up the win by allowing two runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and one walk.
The Rough Riders (16-29, 12-18) jumped on MC starter Michael Brosig with two runs in the second inning of the second game, but the Chaps responded with three runs of their own in the bottom of the second to take the lead for good.
Brosig (5-2) settled down after that second inning and actually got stronger as the game went on. The Lee grad went five innings, allowed two runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and no walks.
Meanwhile the MC offense continued to add runs in each inning and the Chaps ended the game in the seventh when they scored four runs, capped off by a three-run homer to left by Bryndan Arredondo.
Justin Clarkson led MC in the game going 4-for-5 with a triple and two RBI; Thibideau was 4-for-4 with a long home run over the center field fence, four RBI and three runs scored; Prescott was 3-for-5 in the game with an RBI and a run scored; Chris Shaw was 2-for-4 with three runs scored; and Tony Reyes was 2-for-4 with a double, run scored and an RBI.
The Chaps look to continue the momentum today when they host the Rough Riders in another doubleheader at Christensen Stadium, beginning at noon today.
Two outs when game was run-ruled.
Santos Carrasquillos, Tyler Hilga-Gonsalves (6) and Raulier Martinez. Brandon Courvillle and Bryndan Arredondo. W - Courville (3-6). L - Carrasquillos. 2B - LCC: Brongson Pulgados; MC: Blaine Prescott, Josh Narvaiz. 3B - MC: Arredondo. HR - MC: Caleb Koedyker 2 (10), Prescott (5).

Like most digital marketers, I stay current with all Google’s major algorithm changes. I also do a lot of experimenting with various other digital marketing strategies. I’m often pleasantly surprised by the results. Other days, I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out what caused a website to drop many rankings overnight. If your website is at the top of the search engine results one day and somewhere near the bottom the next day, it may be that Google made one its many algorithm changes that it makes without warning.
Google’s intent in creating these algorithm changes isn’t to keep digital marketers and webmasters second-guessing themselves. Keep in mind that Google plays fair in search results for businesses and their customers. The overall intent is to drive the best-case-scenario customers to businesses’ websites and to take customers to the exact website or information they’re looking for as quickly as possible. When the two meet, it’s a beautiful thing.
The point is, Google algorithms are in a constant state of evolution. To keep a competitive edge, webmasters need to evolve in their knowledge about search engine algorithms in addition to tried-and-true search engine optimization (SEO) techniques. The best way to do that is to learn more about artificial intelligence, machine learning and the newest flavor of algorithms: voice search.
If you’ve ever touched a hot stove, you’d hesitate to touch one again. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a process that tells machines that something isn’t quite right and it needs to gather some new information and adjust to it somehow. AI technology effectively trains computers to process large amounts of data, recognize patterns in it and change the way that a computer responds to it.
Digital marketers need to think of Google Search as being omniscient -- or all-knowing. I read an article that suggests we should assume that Google sees and hears everything. Our job as digital marketing experts is to give it as much evidence as possible to convince Google that our site has earned a top-ranking spot.
What’s The Best Approach To Optimizing Voice Search?
I recently spoke to Oleg Shchegolev, co-founder of SEMrush, who provided some sound and simple advice for optimizing voice search. He taught me that, among priorities for marketers, using long-tail keywords, claiming your company’s Google My Business listing an ensuring the mobile version of your website is optimized are three of the most vital steps.
In my experience, I have had great results when I have used user intent and question-based search terms, such as “where,” near me” or “in” a specific location. In one of my projects, I significantly increased local visibility for one of my branches with geo-targeted content by creating content that contains the location keyword “Queens, NYC.” I have created several blogs with local terms and extra pages with content related to the audience -- e.g., “activities for seniors in Queens, NYC.” Furthermore, I optimized the Google My Business listing for the Queens branch, collect reviews and post updates frequently.
RankBrain is part of Google’s core algorithm, which uses machine learning to draw the most relevant results from a search query. It effectively collects and interprets sets of data -- the searcher’s location, search words, etc. -- to arrive at the searcher’s true intent and aim them towards the most relevant sites possible. Over time, RankBrain trains the computer to match signals to results and use the calculations to rank websites in the search engine.
Within seconds, the search engine can pull up all the closest taco restaurants around. The sites that rank highest would likely be those that are geographically closest. The voice search would probably also consider the strength of the restaurant’s reviews and whether I’ve called a particular restaurant from my phone in the past.
In summary, when optimizing your site, think about your own habits when trying to find something you need or want. Get familiar with voice search and use it often. Ask questions rather than throw a few words together. You just might find that Google takes you to the site you need, rather than the one you expected.
Moving forward, I can easily agree with Shchegolev’s prediction that voice search will become more sophisticated and soon utilize more advanced AI mechanisms. As with any digital marketing tool, this is something we must stay informed on as it inevitably evolves.

Kortrijk, French Courtrai, municipality, Flanders Region, western Belgium. It lies along the Leie (Lys) River and the Leie-Scheldt Canal. The Roman settlement of Cortracum was established there, and in the 7th century St. Eloi erected a chapel on the site of the present St. Martin’s Church. Chartered in 1190, Kortrijk reached its peak in the Middle Ages as a centre of the linen damask industry.
In 1297 the French invaded the town as well as most of Flanders. In 1302, on Groeninghe Field just outside the town walls, the ill-equipped burghers and weavers of Flanders defeated a powerful cavalry of French knights; about 700 pairs of spurs were collected from the slain knights and hung in a church (since destroyed)—whence the name “Battle of the Golden Spurs.” In 1382 Charles VI avenged the French defeat by sacking the town. It was taken again by the French in 1793. Occupied by the Germans in World War I, it became a major base for the Ypres front. Kortrijk was severely damaged in World War II.
A rail junction and the centre of a flax-growing region, Kortrijk is now one of the largest producers and exporters of linen fibres in western Europe. There are also furniture, wire, and cotton-weaving industries.
The Church of Notre Dame (Onze Lieve Vrouwkerk; 1191–1211), with the attached chapel of the counts of Flanders (1374), contains Anthony Van Dyck’s “Elevation of the Cross” (1631) and a 14th-century statue of St. Catherine. Other historic landmarks in Kortrijk include the Broelbrug (bridge; c. 1400), with its two massive towers; the Gothic St. Martin’s Church; the 14th-century belfry; and the town hall (15th and 16th centuries) in the Flamboyant Gothic style.

For this board to function a UL 325 photo eye safety device must also be attached to the board and used in the operator system.
The Apollo 1550 Gate Opener is the intelligent version of the two Apollo linear actuators. Below you will find a feature comparison of the two openers. Apollo is known as the premier solar gate opener because of its low power consumption and large battery. The Apollo was designed for ranchers and is built in Texas. This opener gives you the freedom to set your operating arm on the inside, outside, left side or right side of the gate operating in either pull or push to open ; thus giving you as much freedom as you need to have a gate opener that will work with the contours of your property.
The Apollo 1550 Single Gate Opener is a low voltage system , eliminating the need to run 110 AC to your gate. Simply run 14-gauge low voltage to a household outlet within 1000' of the operator (provided) or use a Gate Crafters solar panel (sold separately). With Apollo's generous sized NEMA 3R control box you can house a larger battery than most gate operating systems. A larger battery means more cycles during a time of power outages or low sunlight (if solar is being used). A fully charged deep cycle battery will provide up to 300 cycles or an average of 30 days usage on a basic system before requiring a recharge (Battery is not included). Each cycle is a full open and close and takes approximately 15 seconds each direction.
The 1050 series control board is a new release from Apollo as of 2013. This is the next generation of smart boards for gate openers. It has a built in solar regulator, LCD display for programming and diagnostics, digital controls over force, speed, delay, etc, built in surge suppression, Built in clock and timer, and built in multimeter for knowing battery voltage.
936 board is a standardized option that will come with this opener, the 1050 board is the alternative option.
You will need to pair your control board with either the Nice Apollo Moon safety photocells which is a thru beam system that is included or the NIR-50-325 with adaptor which is a reflective photo eye system or the EMX IRB-RET Universal Safety Retroreflective Photoeye.
936 Board - The 936 board comes with pre-programmed options and will be compatible with most photo eyes. For your convenience, the 936 board does not require proprietary photo eyes.
1050 Board - The 1050 Board can be customizable to your needs and is UL 325-16 compliant, which is necessary to be OSCA complaint. This board is compatible with monitored photo eyes, so that if the photo eye fails it will prevent the gate openers from failing.
NOTE: Apollo does not supply remotes with their gate opener, we supply a free Estate Swing Package when you buy from GateCrafters.com.
2 Free Estate Swing 433 remotes - featuring the most consistant 300+ foot range in the industry.
Estate Swing 2 channel receiver - Use one channel to operate your Apollo gate opener, the second channel can be used for many other purposes, please see receiver description for ideas.
The following tools and supplies are suggested in the manufacturer manual for optimal installation. They are not provided by GateCrafters, however, most tools are available at local hardware stores for purchase or rental.
Please refer to manual for Tools Needed.
“The Apollo NICE 1550, 1650, 1500, and 1600 are the Rancher’s choice when it comes to agricultural gate openers. Apollo is the industry leader in solar powered gate opener and build their gate openers to last.
The Apollo 1550 is suited unto 16 foot gates that weigh 600 pounds.
The motor on the Apollo 1550 is approximately 4 and half inches long and approximately 2 and half inches in diameter. The motor spins a heavy duty all steel gear that turns the large drive gear. The main drive gear, approximately 5 inches around and made of 1/4 inch steel, turns the piston in and out and also drives the limit switches. The limit switches on the Apollo 1550 are magnetic and are very reliable. These switches are completely sealed which will extend the life of your gate opener.
The Apollo 1550 gate opener features stainless steel and aluminum construction. The outside of the gate opener is power coated black to help extend the life of your gate opener. This gate opener has a 2 year warranty.
The difference between the Apollo 1550 and Apollo 1500, is that the 1550 is rated for human/vehicular use, whereas the 1500 is for agricultural use only. The Apollo 1550 features an operational current sensor, which detects the movement of the gate opener arm. If the movement does not match up with the rotation of the motor, the switch stops the gate opener and places it into reverse. This is an additional safety feature that is in place to protect your gate, gate opener, and car in the event of contact with your vehicle.
The Apollo 1550 can utilize two different control boards, either the Apollo 1050 control board or Apollo 936 control board. The Apollo 1050 smart control board has multiple built in features such as timers, diagnostic, volt meter, and many more built in features. This control board is one of the more sophisticated control boards on the market today. The Apollo 936 control board has plug-in locations for the necessary accessories such as exit devices, inputs, outputs,safeties, and powering.
When you buy an Apollo 1550 gate opener from Gate Crafters we include a complete DIY kit for you. This kit include the bolt on brackets that attach your gate opener to your post, a receiver and 2 transmitters, a power transformer and charging board if you need it for your gate opener. GateCrafters.com also sells key pads that works wirelessly with the included receiver .
Gate Crafters has a strong relationship with Apollo. Located in San Antonio, TX and well known for their solar powered operators, Apollo has been established since 1984. The Gate Crafters team most recently met up with Apollo at Fence Tech 2016.


text: The delivery of Ambient Assisted Living services, specifically relating to the smart-home paradigm, assumes that people can be provided with help, automatically and in real time, in their homes as and when required. Nevertheless, the deployment of a smart-home can lead to high levels of expense due to configuration requirements of multiple sensing and actuating technology. In addition, the vast amount of data produced leads to increased levels of computational complexity when trying to ascertain the underlying behavior of the inhabitant. This contribution presents a methodology based on feature selection which aims to reduce the number of sensors required whilst still maintaining acceptable levels of activity recognition performance. To do so, a smart-home dataset has been utilized, obtaining a configuration of sensors with the half sensors with respect to the original configuration.

The recent Virus Identification and Management for Production Nurseries webinar is now available online, to give growers greater assurance about identifying and managing viruses.
Hosted by Dr Andrew Manners and John Duff from the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, the content covers how viruses spread in production nurseries, common virus and virus-like symptoms, vectors, identification methodologies and management options available to growers.
Dr Manners believes the key is to keep an open mind and check factors that cause virus-like symptoms; don’t assume a virus is present. Virus-like symptoms can be caused by many factors including mites (that may only be visible with a microscope), inappropriate growing media and water conditions, environmental conditions, nutritional regime and phytotoxicity (particularly herbicides that reside in the growing area for long periods).
All viruses are spread by propagation and grafting. Some are spread by touch, secateurs and or a vector organism. However, some species asymptomatic, that is, they do not show visible symptoms. Using pathogen-tested mother stock plants can be an important strategy, particular when the pathogen reoccurs frequently. Once a plant is infected with a virus it cannot be cured. Therefore, it is critical to remove infected plants hygienically and prevent infestations from reoccurring.
Dr Manners encourages growers to take a practical stance and check new growth for insects and mites with a hand lens and 40x microscope in the first instance. In most cases, virus symptoms start to appear in the new growth as leaves are expanding. If symptoms are in the old growth and not the new growth, chances are it is not a virus.
If a virus is still suspected, Dr Manners recommends utilising a diagnostic lab by sending images of new growth and of the whole plant. The images should be in-focus, and of a high quality as this will aid in identifying any issues.
The webinar follows on from the Mite identification and management webinar, which is also available online via the NGIA YouTube channel.

On one side, the forlorn newspaper was waiting for its daily ordeal, on the other, the medicine strip shouted effrontarily for discipline.
Meera was cursing her decision to send her only daughter, Bhakti away on a 'revelation' tour around the world.
Then, Bhakti was in grief, having contested her mother's autocratic diktat, she had to accept it reluctantly later.
Meera changed her side on the bed, and so had the grief.

Punch Philipson, died in London after a long illness, on December 4, in his 70th year. Born on June 8, 1866, at Tynemouth, he went to Eton and gaining a place in the eleven as a batsman in 1883, he subsequently kept wicket besides going in first. In his third year he scored 141 against Winchester; 53 and 27 against Harrow. Illness prevented Philipson from playing cricket in 1886, but next year he got his blue at Oxford, and in 1889 he captained the eleven instead of W. W. Rashleigh, who was studying for the Church. He played his highest innings of 150 in 1887 for Oxford against Middlesex, taking part in a seventh wicket stand of 340 with K. J. Key, who scored 281.
Philipson created such an impression as wicket-keeper at Oxford that he played for the Gentlemen both at Lord's and the Oval in 1887. In these two games, the Gentlemen were very strong, and the Players had exactly the same eleven, all of whom played against Australia in England except Bates, who took part in the tour which brought back The Ashes by beating W. L. Murdoch's team twice in three matches. Bates contributed largely towards the triumph by taking 13 wickets for 102 runs in the second engagement. Included in this performance was the hat trick, Bates having as his victims three great batsmen: P. S. McDonnell, George Giffen and G. J. Bonnor. That was in January, 1883.
These facts tell of Philipson's class. He was one of the very best wicket-keepers. Standing close to the stumps for most bowlers, he took the ball with easy grace and certainty. As a batsman he did not fulfil his early promise, but when in form he showed strong defence and could hit freely in front of the wicket. He played occasionally for Middlesex until 1898, and then for Northumberland, his native county.
While most famous as a cricketer, Punch Philipson held a prominent place in many other games. He earned the title of Racquets Champion at Eton and represented Oxford against Cambridge both at Racquets and in the Tennis singles and doubles. He beat Percy Ashworth for the Racquets Amateur Championship in 1891. C. Wreford-Brown gave him his Association Football blue as full back in 1889; so altogether Philipson played for Oxford against Cambridge at four ball games.
A contemporary and racquets partner considered Philipson the best all rounder he ever knew at Eton.
Everyone loved 'Punch.' I was very fond of him. He was a little after my time, but I know he was a very fine wicket-keeper and a great success in Australia. He was up against MacGregor. Comparisons are odious, but if it hadn't been for MacGregor, Philipson would have played in many more representative matches. He was a lovable personality.

Running errands on your bicycle is a great way to burn calories and get some exercise. When you need something small or you are just checking prices and availability, pedaling to the store can be a pleasant experience if you can find a bicycle-friendly route.
Several major shopping locations in the Rogue Valley can be accessed by bicycles without encountering excessive traffic. For example, both the Rogue Valley Mall and the Medford Shopping Center are easily accessible from the Bear Creek Greenway bicycle path.
It is somewhat more difficult to ride a bike to the big-box stores along Highway 62 (Crater Lake Highway). At these stores, the parking lots are full of cars, but I seldom see a bicycle. I have found three bicycle-friendly routes that will get you to the area of Costco, Lowes and Office Depot without having to negotiate through a lot of traffic.
1. From east Medford: get on Springbrook Road, which has bike lanes along most of its length, and head north. Turn left on Delta Waters, which also has bike lanes. Head west, crossing Crater Lake Highway at the traffic lights. Don't dally crossing at these lights as they don't stay green very long. Delta Waters turns into Lear Way which will take you to all the big-box stores.
2. From Poplar Drive, anywhere north of McAndrews Road: Poplar Drive has bike lanes. Head north and cross Highway 62 at the traffic signals. These lights also change quickly from a bicyclist's perspective. After crossing Highway 62, Poplar becomes Bullock Road. Look to your right for a paved bike lane, just before Elite Motorsports on the right. If you pass Lithia Body and Paint and the batting cages on the left, you have gone too far. Turn right on the paved Medco Haul Road bike path. It climbs a short hill and then proceeds along the edge of the airport for 1.3 miles. Turn right on Commerce Drive and right on Lear Way, which passes behind Costco and the other stores.
3. From the Bear Creek Greenway: travel northward. Be cautious riding on the Greenway bike path as it has unmarked bumps and cracks hiding in the shadows which could dislodge you from your bike if you hit them unexpectedly.
From where the bike path goes under McAndrews Road, it's about 1.3 miles to where you turn right onto the path that leaves the Greenway to get to Hilton Court. Look for a green sign on the greenway that says "Biddle Road" with a picture of a bicycle. Upon entering Hilton Court, cross the street to get into the eastbound turn lane.
Turn left at the traffic light at the intersection with Biddle Road (which has bike lanes). Then turn right into the Bureau of Land Management entrance and follow their access road until you reach Bullock Road. Take a right on Bullock and proceed about four-tenths of a mile. (If you miss the BLM turn, go to the next traffic signal and turn right on Lawndale Road, then right onto Bullock Road.) Be alert on Bullock Road as there are no shoulders, vehicles seem to travel fast and drivers are often reluctant to share the road.
Before approaching the raised median divider on Bullock (as you approach Lithia Body and Paint), cross the oncoming traffic lane and get on the sidewalk in front of Elite Motorsports. Proceed about 50 yards and turn left onto the Medco Haul Road bike path. From here follow directions as described for route 2.
Either of these routes provides bicycle-friendly access to a lot of shopping opportunities. Be careful in the big parking lots as drivers are not used to seeing bicycles. Stay in the traffic routes and don't cut through the parking areas.
Take a good lock to secure your bike while you do your shopping.
Carry a small backpack, pull a trailer or have some method of carrying your goods that leaves your hands free to steer your bike.
Enjoy your shopping; I hope that using your bicycle is less stressful than you anticipate. Have a great ride.

This section of the documentation contains conceptual and task-based topics about C++ programming.
There are many important aspects to remember when you use Visual C++ to write programs for Windows. For example, managed code and native code are different. The computer processor directly executes native code, but the CLR is responsible to run managed code.
When you are programming for Windows, you must consider window handles, messages, and exceptions. Windows communicate with each other through messages and exceptions. The Microsoft Foundation Class library (MFC) provides wrappers to make this communication easier.
Covers technologies you can use for database programming in Visual C++.
Explains how to program DLLs.

When Faith Taylor ’19 decided to research coral in the Bahamas, the first thing she had to do was learn how to breathe under water.
“I had never snorkeled before, so I had to learn how not to drown,” laughed Taylor, of Columbia, MD.
The marine science–biology major, who was the 2016 recipient of the Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award, spent five days on the Abaco Islands, where she compared the current health of a reef that had been studied 52 years prior.
The Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award is an annual grant given to stimulate international travel and writing among Honors Program students. The award was established to honor the life of Smith, a lawyer by trade, whose true passion was traveling the world.
Past recipients have taught English and cared for elephants in Sri Lanka, studied mixed-ability dance concepts in England, learned about dolphin-assisted therapy in Turkey, volunteered with a nonprofit providing free cleft surgery to children in Ghana and worked with researchers from the Pacific Whale Foundation in Australia.
Taylor heard about the award through her Pathways to Honors course as a first-year student where she was required to write a draft application for practice. When she received positive feedback from her professor, Taylor decided to submit it for real.
Taylor’s Introduction to Marine Science professor, Michael Slattery, helped Taylor craft her research project and assisted in its implementation in the Bahamas. The two hope to continue researching the area in summers to come and present their findings at a conference and in an academic journal.
Slattery and his wife were planning on taking a vacation anyway, so the opportunity aligned well, and he saw it as an opportunity to facilitate the professional growth of a student.
Slattery said what Taylor learns in the classroom sets a good foundation for what she can apply in the real world.
Taylor, a member of UT’s track team with a school record for the 4x4, has volunteered and interned in aquariums, attracted to their beauty and with respect for the work nonprofits do. She is spending this semester as a coral education intern at the Florida Aquarium. She rides her bicycle there three days a week, facilitating the touch tanks where guests dip their hands into shallow tanks to feel bamboo sharks, stingrays, anemones and sea stars. She also coordinates interactive programs for guests.
Taylor said her time in the Bahamas gave her a deep appreciation for the need for conservation.
"Before I begin, I have to start by saying that Ireland is amazing. The people are incredibly friendly, the food is spectacularly bland, and the scenery is unbeatable. Life is perfect here, it would seem.
For some, though, Ireland isn’t seen through rose-colored glasses. In the city today, I spotted a myriad of homeless individuals in some of the more tourist-centric areas. You may not have noticed them if you weren’t looking, however. Most were cloistered up in some kind of sleeping bag or blanket, “turtling” inside their makeshift forts to escape the harsh Dublin winds. When they did peek out, it was only to check if anyone had tossed a few euros in their Styrofoam cups.
Before I approached any of the homeless individuals, I stopped by Focus Ireland, a non-profit organization that seeks to get people off the street and return them back to the workforce. A representative named Melissa agreed to meet with me for an interview later in the week. I’m hoping she can provide some insight as to what exactly is being done to help remedy the highly apparent issue. From what I’ve gleaned so far, it doesn’t seem to be a lot.
Two homeless individuals in particular stood out to me today: Keith and Steven. Keith gave me a brilliant interview at the modest price of a few crisps and a soda, and Steven had written a poem in chalk about unnecessary judgement of homeless people. From what they told me, neither were into drugs, alcohol or other addictions. They were instead caught in a catch 22 wherein they could not hold a steady job. In order to have a job in Dublin, one must have a permanent address. However, all the money that they saved for a permanent home had to be used for food, clothing, and temporary housing. Speaking of which, both Keith and Steven feel that there is a distinct lack of housing options for low-income individuals. I haven’t fact checked this yet, but Steven even claimed that some of the temporary hostels encouraged drug use as a means of coping."
I boarded the flight to London Heathrow on June 23rd, 2014 knowing how to be a tourist in Britain. A slightly oblivious passerby whose interaction with the local population is limited to questions like, “where is the nearest bus stop?” and whose main goal is to see as many stereotypical landmarks as possible. Despite my anglophiliac nature and my two previous visits to Great Britain, I remained a happy tourist.
I boarded the same flight knowing how to be a dance student in America. Show up to class six nights a week, learn six different ways of doing a step from six different teachers, dance in two major performances a year, spend four weeks of summer training eight hours a day with six other teachers, go home, repeat. Simple and exhausting.
I boarded that flight with a vision of how my trip was going to go. I assumed I would be observing lots of classes and rehearsals, taking lots of notes, and hopefully dancing a bit, and I expected my tourist knowledge to suffice for the most part.
My name is Eden Frazier, and I am a junior student at the University of Tampa studying physics and dance. I applied for the Timothy M. Smith award to travel to the United Kingdom to work with GDance, a company that specializes in inclusive dance practice. I knew I would be supporting their during production called Stuck in the Mud, which combines professional ballet dancers from Ballet Cymru, professional disabled dancers, dancers from the community, and primary school children into a whole dance performance. What I didn't know is that it would I would be participating in so many things beyond that production and that I would be learning much more beyond dance.
My first truly new experience was working in an office. To some this might seem dull and boring.
To me, office work was intimidating and intriguing. For the first time, I was stepping behind the curtain to see the inner workings of a dance company. The company’s director, Cath, gave me plenty to keep me busy. She set me to work on mailing promotional materials to target audiences in Swansea, Wales.
In addition to my office work, the GDance team gave me a list of classes to observe and symposiums to attend. I observed an integrated class with VIA Dance Company, I attended Dance4, a dance festival that featured symposiums about the development of integrated dance as well as performances, I watched the final presentations of a group of primary school children that had been training with an associate of GDance, and I attended a PE teachers’ conference with another representative of GDance. Seeing such a wide variety of people and hearing about so many different advancements and opportunities really showed me how far GDance’s network extends and how much integrated dance itself encompasses. Although there are still many barriers in the dance world that need to be broken down, the field of integrated dance continues to grow and expand, especially in the UK.
After nearly a week of a pleasant office job, I made my way to Swansea to support the production of Stuck in the Mud. I had no idea what my duties would be in relation to Stuck in the Mud, but I was excited to see the professional dancers in action and to be around the familiar rehearsal atmosphere again. The production team kept me on my toes for the entire week. I took morning class with Ballet Cymru and the disabled dancers each day, then for the rest of the day I did a variety of tasks from assisting with the community cast to shopping trips to prop management to costume alterations and repair. In between I watched as much of rehearsals as I could.
By the time the performances rolled around I had a list of jobs and props I was wholly responsible for, and I could focus on those specific things. My main job was prop management: making sure the silks were folded and set in their proper places and making sure an adequate amount of balloons were prepped and set for the finale.
While I worked very hard during my residency in Britain, I still reserved some personal time to be a tourist. I visited Gloucester Cathedral and the birthplace of Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon. As a very big science fiction fan, I went to the city of Cardiff to see the Doctor Who Experience. My dad and I took some lovely drives through the countryside, stumbling across some off-the-beaten-path villages along the way. I spent my last Monday in England exploring London, particularly locations associated with Sherlock Holmes, with my dad. I really tried to make the most out of every moment I had in such a wonderful country.
My time in Britain with the GDance team affected me in many ways, some expected, some unexpected. As anticipated, I learned an incredible amount about integrated dance itself. Immersing myself in integrated classes, performances, and seminars really opened my eyes to how straightforward inclusive practices can be. There really is no special secret to teaching an integrated dance class. The special secret lies in generating interest among dance teachers, potential dancers, and their guardians. I hope to see the integration movement continue to spread in Britain and to become an accepted idea here in America.
Within my six days spent in the office, I noticed an increase in my adaptation to English culture. I had never really considered the cultural differences until I was submerged in a work environment with English people. I learned how to write a British business letter, being sure to end with “yours sincerely” or “yours faithfully.” I started subconsciously changing my vocabulary from words like “awesome” and “great” to “lovely” and “brilliant.” I learned that there is a mandatory cup of tea to be drunk at 2 pm each day. I discovered that Wellingtons are rain boots and that “Doctor Who” and “Tardis” are household words. I tried to soak up as much of the culture as I could. I had the chance to meet some of the hardest-working, sweetest people in the world while in England who were completely willing to help me along with anything and everything.
When talking with other dancers and instructors, I began to appreciate the differences between dance education in America and Europe. I take for granted the variety of training and teachers I have had, even within the small realm of ballet. I also forget that most legitimate dance schools in England and Europe use an exam system; in order for students to progress, they have to pass dance exams and prove they can complete a certain set class. Such a structured curriculum produces excellent dance students, but for dance students with disabilities of any sort, the exam system can really hold them back. In America, integrating dance students of any abilities into a class should be simple, although sometimes, depending on the biases of the instructor, welcoming these students is far from easy.
Interestingly, I also got the opportunity to see what transpires behind the scenes in a dance company. My usual place in a dance production is on the stage; I did not know exactly what went on to make all that possible. Working on Stuck in the Mud with GDance, whether it was in the office or on site in Swansea, really taught me about the unseen individuals that make a production run smoothly. Working with the production team taught me a great deal about hard work and unsung heroes.
I boarded my flight from London Heathrow on July 15th, 2014 full of new memories, a new culture, new lessons learned, and new connections made. I experienced so much beyond what I could have ever imagined when I applied for the award in the fall of 2013. I will continue to find inspiration from this trip for the rest of my life.
Katelyn with her new friends in Ghana.
In Ghana, Katelyn Edwards first noticed the pothole, polka dot roads with street vendors walking precariously through the lines of traffic. Once she got outside the urban buzz of Kumasi, the warmth of hospitality took over.
Edwards, an English major with art and economics minors, was in Ghana this July as a volunteer with Smile Train, a nonprofit whose mission is to provide free cleft surgery to children in developing countries, train doctors and medical professionals, and provide speech therapy, dentistry and orthodontics.
Edwards stayed with Dr. Solomon Obiri-Yeboah, a plastic surgeon at Smile Train's sponsored partnership, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
Despite the 5:30 a.m. rooster wake up call, Edwards said she enjoyed her host family, helping get the children ready for school before she headed to the hospital with Yeboah. Edwards joined surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses to observe the cleft surgeries, blogging about the experience for Smile Train and photographing before and after photos of the children as well as gathering informal data from the children’s mothers. In the afternoons, Edwards joined the hospital social worker on follow-up calls to healing patients in rural communities.
Edwards, of Orlando, was this year’s recipient of the Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award. The award was established to honor the life of Smith, a lawyer by trade, whose true passion was traveling the world.
Past recipients have taught English and cared for elephants in Sri Lanka, studied Spanish in Costa Rica, learned about dolphin-assisted therapy in Turkey and worked with researchers from the Pacific Whale Foundation in Australia.
Edwards wanted to work with Smile Train because she grew up in a family that supported the organization. Edwards’ younger brother, Spencer, was born with a cleft lip and palate, however her family was able to cover the expenses to cover his necessary surgeries. Smile Train helps families that aren’t so fortunate, and the Edwards are long-time supporters.
“This cause has always been near and dear to our hearts, and to get a chance to do something so hands-on is amazing,” Edwards said.
In addition to her UT travel scholarship, she has raised more than $4,500 to cover additional travel expenses as well as cleft surgeries for eight Ghanaian children. Her advocacy efforts are important to changing the stigma of those born with clefs.
Sommer Kuhn ’13 observed dolphin-assisted therapy with the help of the Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award.
When Sommer Kuhn ’13 was a child, she traveled from Wisconsin with her family to Orlando’s Sea World. At the first sight of the dolphins, she was hooked.
Kuhn was this year’s recipient of the Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award, an annual grant given to stimulate international travel and writing among Honors Program students. The award was established to honor the life of Smith, a lawyer by trade, whose true passion was traveling the world.
Past recipients have taught English and cared for elephants in Sri Lanka, studied Spanish in Costa Rica and worked with researchers from the Pacific Whale Foundation in Australia. Kuhn went to Turkey.
She cast a wide net in search of facilities that offered dolphin-assisted therapy, an approach that integrates swimming with dolphins and one-on-one therapy. She wanted to spend her two weeks observing how people with challenges like autism, cerebral palsy and even depression, respond with this type of therapy. She found Dolphinland in Antalya, Turkey, and spent May 13-28 in the water with dolphins and on land, exploring the blended European and Middle Eastern culture in Turkey.
“It’s not a super scientific therapy, but it opens the door to other therapies, aiding with things like socialization,” said Kuhn.
Her 16-year-old brother’s autism and a search for an alternative to traditional therapies is what piqued her interested in the method. While in Turkey, she observed a 7-year-old German girl who had come to Dolphinland with her family to give dolphin therapy a try. Kuhn was able to be in the water with the girl and observe her change over the course of two weeks.
Professor Gary Luter, Honors Program director, said students who receive the Timothy M. Smith Award gain new perspectives through cross-cultural experiences and expand their understanding of global diversity.
"Most significantly, they leave their personal comfort zone and risk the unfamiliar," said Luter. "This last idea is key to becoming a truly educated person."
Kuhn, who is interning at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium this summer, said she’d like to find a career that marries her passions for special needs children and dolphins, and this experience in Turkey helped confirm her direction.
Poojah, a 25 yr old female elephant is probably the naughtiest elephant here. And I use naughty in the nice way here, meaning mischievous or even bordering on playful.
The last two weeks passed really quickly and I am really going to miss MEF a lot( not the dung cleaning part though). I headed east last night on a train from Polgahawela to Trincomalee. Trincomalee is the largest port in the country and has two natural harbors. The city has been developed on the peninsula that divides these two harbors. My train reached early in the morning at around six. Deciding to immediately go and cover the Konneshwaram temple during the morning pooja I hired an auto. After a lengthy exercise in translation I managed to get him to understand where exactly I wanted to go but he still dropped me only at the base of the hill. I did manage to hike up(I haven't done any climbing whatsoever since the Guadalupe escape!) I hadn't really done my research on the temple so I was pleasantly surprised to find the temple on top of a hill which gives a panoramic view of both the harbors in Trincomalee. What I found quite interesting was one of the bays is known as Chinabay, simply because of the Chinese trade taking place here since the time of the Dutch. Though it had been destroyed several times by different colonialists, the temple always had been rebuilt by the generous donations of the Tamil population in Trincomalee.
So when she was awarded the Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award, she decided to head south to Costa Rica, work on her Spanish and travel the country.
She has seen an amazing countryside, photographed the rainforest clouds, snorkeled with fluorescent fish, heard the calls of rainbow-feathered parrots perched in trees and watched giant lizards comb the white beaches. She’s also navigated her way on a bus system using her broken Spanish, ended up in unintended cities having magical experiences and even jumped head-first in a 265-foot bungee jump off the Colorado River Bridge.
Edinger, an honors student who is studying nursing, knew that traveling was in her future but the opportunity and the funds hadn’t been as available as she had hoped. When she applied for the award, she decided to make the most of her experience.
The impact this experience is having on Edinger – in something as basic and sterile as teaching blood pressure measurements to children – is apparent in one of her early travel blog entries (part of the requirements for the award, including a 5,000-word essay on return).
While traveling alone can be scary for young people, Dr. Gary Luter, director of the Honors Program, said it pays off in the end.
Edinger’s weekends were spent exploring the country, enjoying hammock time and drinking the country’s famous coffee. Following a trip to Tortuga Island, Edinger summed up what travel has inspired in her on one of her final blog entries.
For University of Tampa sophomore Erin Dumas, globetrotting is a way of life. In just the last few years, the international and cultural studies major has spent time in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
As this year’s recipient of the UT Honors Program’s Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration scholarship, Dumas plans to spend next summer on Europe’s eastern edge, exploring Greece and Turkey.
The visit to Turkey carries with it a somewhat personal purpose for Dumas. Her older brother, a member of the U.S. Army Rangers, was recently deployed to the Middle East. The trip, she says, is an opportunity for her to get a sense of his life in his current surroundings.
In her application essay, Dumas explained to UT’s Faculty Honors Committee that Turkey represented a “crossroads” of cultures, between east and west. She intends to explore Istanbul and Athens as well as, time permitting, Crete and the other Greek Islands.
Dumas plans to pursue a career in a health-related field, specifically a job related to health care in developing countries. A long-term goal has been to join the Peace Corps to work in AIDS education in Africa. This past summer, she worked as an intern for a health-based education program geared toward parents and teens in her hometown of Portland, Maine.
“Having that experience and seeing the need for public health on the local level solidified my need to work internationally,” Dumas said.
The Timothy M. Smith Award is given annually to a UT Honors Program student to fund travel during the summer to virtually any destination worldwide. Students who win the highly competitive award receive $2,500 and are required to compose an essay detailing the experience upon their return to the United States.
Dr. Stephen Blessing, chair of the Faculty Honors Committee and assistant professor of psychology, said Dumas has had a well thought out proposal of how she wanted to use the award.
“She demonstrated a passion for travel and desire to learn more about the cultures of the world,” Blessing said.
While Dumas has been a world traveler throughout her life, her recent series of excursions began even before she enrolled at UT. As a high school student, she spent time at an American boarding school in Paris, France. Later, in her senior year, she joined a student exchange program that sent her to Tasmania in Australia for several months. While there, she befriended fellow students from countries throughout the world, including Italy, which she later visited as well.
Dumas chose to attend UT, in part, because of the many opportunities the school offers to study abroad.
Her trip to Greece and Turkey will follow a planned journey to Buenos Aires, Argentina, that scheduled for the spring semester. The Argentina trip is part of a UT Study Abroad program and will help Dumas complete a Spanish minor. She also earned credit toward her major from an Honors Abroad trip to Japan.
Over the course of 11 days next summer, University of Tampa sophomore Lorian Knapp will work aboard a boat in Hervey Bay, Australia, gathering information with a team of researchers from the Pacific Whale Foundation.
Using highly sophisticated marine science equipment, the team will spend eight hours per day locating and collecting data on the Australian humpback whale population.
The resulting research could find its way into any number of scholarly publications and provide influence on environmental policy worldwide.
The overseas voyage is a rare opportunity that Knapp chose to pursue upon her receipt of the Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award – an annual scholarship awarded by the Faculty Honors Committee. The highly competitive award provides $2,000 to a UT Honors student for travel during the summer to virtually any destination. Upon returning to the U.S., the student is required to write an essay detailing his or her experiences overseas.
For Knapp, a native of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., who has never before traveled abroad, the award is one of her more notable achievements in less than two years at UT.
Knapp originally aspired to be an animal trainer at Sea World, so her initial academic interests were focused in the field of marine science. After having participated in an internship at Sea World, however, she decided that knowledge of psychology was essential to understanding animal behavior. Thus, she is now committed to a psychology major with a marine science minor, with aspirations of being a marine field researcher. Most of her extracurricular activities relate to these fields of study.
Among her academic achievements, she has recently started to work with Dr. Jeffrey Klepfer, an associate professor of psychology, in an honors research fellowship study that examines how emotions influence investment decisions.
Knapp is involved in all aspects of the study, a complex experiment involving the practice of giving extra credit points to students in UT psychology classes, Klepfer said. In addition to helping design and administer the study, Klepfer said Knapp would also assist with an analysis of the final data and a presentation of the initial results at a January conference. Klepfer added that the final results will likely be published in a peer-reviewed journal in psychology – something he hopes will benefit Knapp in future academic and professional pursuits.
In addition to her academic involvement, Knapp serves as a resident assistant in UT’s Smiley Hall, is a violinist in the UT orchestra, an active member of Campus Crusade for Christ and one of the founders of a new group called Active Minds, which strives to raise awareness about students with mental health disorders on college campuses.
She has also participated in several internships and leadership activities that correlate with her interests in marine science and psychology. On a recent leadership excursion, she traveled to Crystal River, FL., to swim with manatees and other sea life.
Knapp’s decision to use the Timothy Smith Award to fund an internship with the Pacific Whale Foundation was one that was particularly impressive to the members of the Faculty Honors Committee, according to Dr. Richard Piper, the Director of the Honors Program.
At the conclusion of her voyage overseas, Knapp will return to the United States and write an essay detailing her experiences for publication in Respondez!, UT’s honors journal. Beyond that, Knapp says she intends to participate in more research fellowships before going onto graduate school.
Amber Osborne has been named by the faculty Honors Committee as the 2007 recipient of the Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award.
The committee received four outstanding applications for this award, established by the family and friends of Timothy M. Smith. A lawyer by trade, Smith loved to travel and write about his many experiences.
In her application for the Timothy M. Smith Award, Amber submitted an essay titled “Mr. Standish,” and described her plans to travel to Europe in Summer 2007 and to write about her experiences there.
I have until recently been one of those people who thought that traveling to far off lands was going to New York City. I was born and raised in New Port Richey, FL for the full extent of my twenty one years on this planet. When I was a little girl I was told by my mother before she passed away from cancer, “You are too big of a person to be in such a small town.” I never really thought much of it till I got to travel to Germany last summer, then I realized exactly what she was talking about.
My creative strengths have always been writing and photography, however like any strength you need to exercise to make it stronger and to do that you need motivation and inspiration. Those are two things that I thought were stored and filed back with my high school diploma. Traveling, I have found is what gives me the inspiration to not only document my experiences but to turn the camera around on myself to figure out my own place in this world.
One of the things I found about traveling to foreign lands is that despite being thousands of miles away from home, nothing is really foreign. The people you meet may speak another language but they aren’t space aliens with laser rays, they are fellow human beings with lives, families, dreams and aspirations just like you. This is where my passion for traveling lies, in the meeting of these people and in experiencing their culture as they do in everyday life. It could be a Holocaust survivor in a café in Leipzig or homeless mohawked punk kids on a subway in Berlin. I have met so many interesting people in my travels to Europe so far, I want to meet all the billions I missed.
In this, I have found my meaning for life something that takes most people most of their lives. I will live in Germany, if only for a year or the rest of my days. As I have sadly learned from my mother, life is too short to sit around in a small town contemplating my fate. Among learning more about myself, I wish to learn more about the language, culture, politics and most of all the lives of people in Europe. For the only benefit I wish to receive is the knowledge that another little girl in New Port Richey may read about my experiences and know that the world outside her door isn’t such a scary place but a beautiful world where people love and live life.

Adrienne M. Nadeau, a junior writing major from Clearwater, has been awarded the Timothy M. Smith Inspiration Through Exploration Award by the UT Honors Committee.
The award is presented annually to an Honors Program student near the end of the fall semester. It provides a talented student author with an opportunity to travel and find additional inspiration for pursuing literary aspirations.
The selected student receives $2,000 for summer travel expenses. The award is offered through the Honors Program and funded by the family of Timothy M. Smith to honor his memory.
Nadeau has earned a nearly perfect 3.94 grade point average at the University while pursuing a rigorous Honors Program curriculum. In addition, she has had an article published in the 2005 issue of Respondez, the annual Honors Program nonfiction journal, and recently entered the Florida Collegiate Honors Council Writing Contest.
In her application for the Smith Award, she described her plans to travel to Israel in summer 2006 and write about her experiences there.
Link to Adrienne's travel photos!
Attached is a copy of the essay that I wrote after my trip to Kyoto, Japan. Also attached is a link to a few photos from my trip (they are too large to send over e-mail in good conscience).
I would like to thank you and your family and Inspiration through Exploration for this wonderful opportunity. Thank you, as well, for your enormous patience with me and with Tulane. This trip was very important to me, especially as I took it directly after hurricane Katrina and during a really difficult period in my life. It helped me to understand a great deal about my environment and about perspective.
I hope that your foundation will continue to impact the lives of young writers as deeply as it impacted mine.

Family Engagement Foundational Services will help build the capacity of school and district teams in developing effective partnerships with families linked to learning and healthy development. The Illinois State Board of Education’s Family Engagement Framework provides the core content for the trainings.
Participants, working in teams, will increase their capacity to build effective partnerships with families that are aligned to their Continuous Improvement Plan. As a result of this training, teams will have clear expectations and a commitment to moving the work forward. These materials were developed to be a one-day training, but could be broken up and delivered over time (in the order listed below) if that is preferred.
Participants will build awareness and increase stakeholder involvement in developing meaningful partnerships with families that is linked to learning and healthy development. The training provides a review of key research findings on the impact of family engagement on student achievement and school improvement outcomes as well as a summary of the legislative mandates that require parental involvement.
Participants, attending in teams, will increase their ability to engage families from diverse backgrounds in meaningful and effective ways that are linked to student achievement and school improvement planning. This training is designed to promote personal development, improve communications, interpersonal relationships, group dynamics, team development, and inter-group relationships so that team can work effectively in cross-cultural situations.
Participants will build awareness and capacity to use the Illinois State Board of Education’s (ISBE) Family Engagement (FE) Framework. The training provides a complete review of ISBE’s FE Framework and its various components. Participants will use this tool in developing and expanding school-family partnerships to support student learning and healthy development.
Participants will be introduced to a collaborative approach to engaging families in order to jointly support student learning and healthy development. Paramount to this work is the ability to include parents in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of family engagement efforts. This training will specifically focus on how to establish and maintain an effective team in which all members, including family representatives, have a shared commitment to improving family engagement and student outcomes.
Participants, attending in teams, will build their capacity to assess and plan for meaningful family engagement using the self-assessment and action planning tools.
Participants will engage in discussion around shared experiences and expertise related to implementation of meaningful family engagement. Each gathering is initiated for a deeper look into a topic included in the currently approved materials.

Have you encountered a problem with a ACD-BAK file? Don’t you know which program opens a file with this extension? You will find all the information you need about working with a ACD-BAK file here. In the further part of this page we have added a list of programs that should open your ACD-BAK file. It is enough you choose a proper application for your operating system, download and install it.
Absolutely most often appearing reason that prevents you from opening the ACD-BAK file is the lack of a proper application to support it in your operating system. It is notably the first thing you need to address. When one of the programs to support a ACD-BAK file from the list is already installed, you can try to rerun the file. The system should display a message asking you to choose a primary application to support ACD-BAK files. At this point we are looking for disk space where the application was installed in and we can link it with a ACD-BAK file. Since then, our operating system will use the selected program to support all ACD-BAK files.

Most photographers are always on. I am no different, even when I am not holding a camera and actively shooting, I am aware of the light, of compositions, of what would be photo worthy.
Tonight, on a brief outing on a rainy evening my dog, the rain, the light created a scene I wanted to capture, to remember as more than a snapshot. In my mind, the way he was sitting, looking out the window was breath taking, the light was soft filtering through the window, and with a little creative work in post-process the image would be exactly the art I wanted to capture of my fur-child.
While I wish I would have had my professional grade camera on hand, I hadn't actively planned on shooting anything particular. It was more of a visit my aunt, and grab some food outing- photo taking wasn't even on my mind! So I was using my cell phone that has seen better days and is probably days to a week of needing replaced- another story, short version I can no longer easily answer phone calls which is short of problematic- but it worked for the moment. Worked for a quick share of one natural image to my instagram where my dog might intermix with my business images- he is adorable it is hard not to share his beauty on my business page!
My cell phone produces nice quality images, and I was able to create the image in my head, the image that has already been sent to a print lab and will grace my walls.

Interior communities may see smoke drifting from multiple fires across Central Alaska Saturday afternoon. People in Fairbanks may have noticed a haze Saturday morning. The air quality may worsen in the afternoon as fire activity typically picks up. Wildfire smoke modeling shows the smoke wafting across central Interior Alaska Saturday, but shifting south as a cold front moves in from the Arctic on Sunday.
• The 2,400-acre Little Melozitna River Fire (#171); the 7,000-acre Dulby Hot Springs Fire (174); and the Deniktaw Ridge Fire (#117) and the Hot Springs Fire (#156), which merged to burn 7,000 acres so far. This merged fire is the only one of this bunch staffed and is now being called the Deniktaw Ridge Fire. The North Star Fire Crew and eight smokejumpers are setting up protection measures on values in the area, including a cabin four miles to the west of the fire.
• The 3,200-acre Kololitna River Fire (#173) burning 50 miles north of Tanana; the 2,500-acre Mooseheart Fire (#204) and the 1,000-acre Zitziana River Fire (#133) burning west of Nenena. Both fires are burning in limited protection area and are being monitored.
• The 650-acre Bismark Fire (#165) burning near Ambler; the700-acre Rabbit River Fire (#205) burning in the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge; and the 300-acre Purcell Fire (#197) burning 28 miles to the southeast.
If aggravated by the smoke, stay indoors with the windows shut. Other tips include finding an air-conditioned building, such as a library, to spend the afternoons when the concentration of smoke may be the highest. You may also want to limit physical activities.

Awful version of the classic US format, made on a shoestring budget and offering a top prize of just £200, which rather defeated the object of the game as it meant there was no jeopardy and thus no excitement. HTV may have licensed this format in the hope it would get picked up by the ITV network (following the company's success with Keynotes) but it wasn't even good enough to retain its primetime slot in the region, quickly being relegated to Saturday afternoons. It appears to have returned in 1992 for a second run in an even less desirable Sunday lunchtime slot.
