A notice from a Coalition of civil society groups dated 17/05/16, was circulated nation wide on email and social media urging the public and work force to come to a stand still. This was in a desperate attempt to stamp down on the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea Peter O'Niell to step aside from office for alleged corrupt dealings.
It was in support of the UPNG (University of Papua New Guinea) boycotting classes to petition the Prime Minister to step down from office.

Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs)
What is an RESP?
- A contract between an individual who is the subscriber, and a person or organization who is the promoter
- The subscriber (or a person on behalf of the subscriber) makes contributions to the RESP, which earns income
- Government grants (if applicable) will be paid to the RESP (see below)
- The promoter agrees to pay the income as educational assistance payments to one or more beneficiaries designated in the contract
- Only spouses can be joint subscribers under an RESP
- RESP contributions are not deductible from the subscriber's income
- If a plan allows for more than one beneficiary (commonly called a family plan), each beneficiary must be related to each living subscriber and must not have reached 21 years of age when he or she is named as beneficiary
Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG)
- Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) provides an incentive for parents, family and friends to save for a child's post-secondary education by paying a grant based on the amount contributed to an RESP for the child
- No matter what your family income is, HRSDC pays a basic CESG of 20% of annual contributions made to all eligible RESPs to a maximum $500 in respect of each beneficiary ($1,000 in CESG if there is unused grant room from a previous year), and a lifetime limit of $7,200
- The 20% grant is doubled to 40% for the first $500 contributed to an RESP by families with incomes up to $47,630 in 2019
- For families with incomes between $47,630 and $95,259 in 2019, the grant will be increased to 30% for the first $500 contributed to an RESP
RESP Contribution Limits
- There is no longer an annual contribution limit however there is a lifetime limit of $50,000 for each beneficiary
- Every child under age 18 who is a Canadian resident will accumulate $400 (for 1998 to 2006) and $500 (from 2007 and subsequent) of CESG contribution room. Unused CESG contribution room is carried forward and used when RESP contributions are made in future years provided that the specific contribution requirements for beneficiaries who attain 16 or 17 years of age are met
- Only one previous year's worth of contributions can be used each year so you are limited on how quickly you can "catch-up" on past unused contribution room. For example, if you open an account for your three-year-old child, you can contribute $2,500 (this year's contribution room) plus another $2,500 (from previously unused contribution room) for a total of $5,000, to receive a grant of $1,000. You are allowed to contribute more than $5,000, but there will be no grant paid on the amount above $5,000. Next year, to fully "catch-up", you can make another $5,000 contribution to receive an additional grant of $1,000
RESP Fees
- It is very important to understand exactly what fees are going to be paid out of the RESP to the promoter, and when the fees are taken. Normally the fees are paid before the RESP earns any income, and a subscriber could lose all contributions to the fees if payments to the RESP are discontinued. Fees may also be charged on each payment out of the RESP
Payments from an RESP
Return Of Contributions
- Subject to the terms and conditions of the RESP, all contributions made to the RESP by the subscriber can be returned to the subscriber
- Because RESP contributions are not deductible when made, they are not taxable when returned
- The CESG must be repaid if the beneficiary does not go on to a post-secondary educational institution
- However, you may not have to repay the CESG when you replace the beneficiary with a child who is under 21 and a brother or sister of the original beneficiary
Educational Assistance Payments (EAP)
- An EAP is the amount paid to a beneficiary (a student) from an RESP to help finance the cost of post-secondary education
- The student is enrolled in a qualifying educational program. This includes students attending a post-secondary educational institution and those enrolled in distance education courses, such as correspondence courses, provided by such institutions; or
- The student has attained the age of 16 years and is enrolled in a specified educational program
- The promoter can only pay EAPs to or for a student if one of the following situations applies:
A beneficiary is entitled to receive EAPs for up to six months after ceasing enrolment, provided that the payments would have qualified as EAPs if the payments had been made immediately before the student's enrolment ceased.
A qualifying educational program is an educational program at post-secondary school level, that lasts at least three consecutive weeks, and that requires a student to spend no less than 10 hours per week on courses or work in the program.
A specified educational program is a program at post-secondary school level that lasts at least three consecutive weeks, and that requires a student to spend not less than 12 hours per-month on courses in the program.
A post-secondary educational institution includes:
- A university, college, or other designated educational institution in Canada;
- An educational institution in Canada certified by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) as offering non-credit courses that develop or improve skills in an occupation; and
- A university, college, or a university outside Canada that has courses at the post-secondary school level at which the beneficiary was enrolled on a full-time basis in a course of not less than three consecutive weeks
- An EAP has to be included in the beneficiary's income for the year the EAP is received
- For RESPs entered into after 1998, the maximum amount of EAPs that can be made to a student as soon as he or she qualifies to receive them is:
- For studies in a qualifying educational program – $5,000, for the first 13 consecutive weeks in such a program. After the student has completed the 13 consecutive weeks, there is no limit on the amount of EAPs that can be paid if the student continues to qualify to receive them. If there is a 12-month period in which the student is not enrolled in a qualifying educational program for 13 consecutive weeks, the $5,000 maximum applies again; or
- For studies in a specified educational program – $2,500, for the 13-week period whether or not the student is enrolled in such a program throughout that 13-week period.
Accumulated Income Payment (AIP)
- An AIP is any distribution from an RESP other than a refund of contributions, an EAP, a payment to a designated educational institution in Canada, a transfer to another RESP, or a repayment of the CESG
- When AIPs are made from an RESP, the RESP must be closed by the end of February of the year after the year in which the first payment is made
- AIPs have to be included in the recipient's income for the year the payments are received
- These payments are subject to two different taxes: the regular income tax and an additional 20% tax
- The AIP can be reduced by transferring an amount to the subscriber's RRSP if they have available contribution room

Place Visit On This Trip
South India
Overall Feedback On The Trips And The Servies of India's Invitation
I am Shipra, and I am an inhabitant of Delhi. As of late, I went on a voyage through Goa-Estate of shorelines". Aside from the colossal bliss that this near the nature trip gave, the other thing that made this trek so agreeable was the expert and the helping character of the visit administrator India's Invitation.
Our tour took a commence from the point we arrived at the Goa air terminal, where we were escorted by our visit guide who took finish care of us all through the outing. We were enormously awed by the obliging conduct of our visit direct. The touring was additionally exceptionally all around arranged, and every one of the customs of our visits to various sights was quickly taken care off. He took us to north goa; synonymously referred to as the old Goa and as the name portrays, it is the image of Goan culture. Old Goa is the thing that Goa initially was!! A beguiling, laid-back method for a living ..structures in stone and limestone. It was going back a couple of hundreds of years prior. Basilica of Bom Jesus and all the more truly massive landmarks. All through the administrators were constantly prepared to help us and even dealt with our refreshments amid the interfacing venture. We were effortlessly reserved in a well-disposed inn, and our solace was their best need.
The exact following day we were taken to one of the virgin spots of Goa which is nearly at a separation of 350 km from the focal city. It was the Bhagwan Mahaveer national stop.
If one needs to investigate the wildernesses, trekking monstrosity, at that point it is an absolute necessity visit the place. The voyage here begins with a jeep wherein you need to utilize the life-sparing coats; it is an absolute necessity. After entering the recreation center, you need to cross the single unconcreted, soil damped street. On the right side, it is a perspective of the thick woodland, a parallel running single Konkan railroad track, and streaming waterway. It merits specifying that on another side of the slopes is the Karnataka state and this side it is Goa. The trip is currently trailed by the strolling trek which closes and no more excellent knick-knack Sagar waterfalls. As the name demonstrates, the fall of water is like drain tumbling from a statue and making a lake. After remaining for a couple of hours here and going by the close-by zest manors, we moved back to the major city. Here, we went to many great shorelines in south Goa, and at the end of the day, the credit goes to the visit administrators who dealt with the calendar viable.
Generally speaking, this was an incredible excursion improved much by India's Invitation and their astonishing gathering of steady group individuals who worked in the background to make our voyage agreeable.

Nothing looks worse in a room than an old tattered, outdated chest of drawers. Luckily, these pieces of furniture are also one of the easiest to update and when complete can be a great focal point or addition to a room.
To give life to an old chest of drawers with a new paint job, follow these instructions. First you will need to gather your supplies. You will need the following:
Drop cloth
Medium grain sandpaper
Dust mask
Tack Cloth
Screwdriver for knobs and handles
Wet Cloth
New Hardware, if you are replacing the old (recommended unless you really like the original pieces)
The first thing you want to do is spread out a drop cloth. Work in a room that has windows because the primer and paint will need ventilation.
Take the drawers out and remove the hardware (the handles and knobs only).
Now put on your dust mask and grab a piece of medium grain sandpaper.
You want to sand all of the old paint off of the piece so you can start anew. This can take a little time, but do a thorough and good job because it is the base of the project and will determine your end results. Sanding removes paint, dirt, gloss, residue, etc., and it gives you a nice grab for the primer to hold on to. Rub your tack cloth across where you have sanded.
Now it is time to apply the primer. Open up your windows to allow for proper ventilation. Read the manufacturer's instructions, as they can differ from primer to primer. Apply primer as instructed and allow it to dry thoroughly before you apply your paint.
Once your primer is one hundred percent dry, it is time to apply your paint. Take a good look around your room and see what colors would really work best in the spot where your dresser will be. You do not have to opt for a neutral tone or a white. You can go all out and really make your dresser a showpiece in the room. If you are feeling really crafty, you can even paint a design on the front of it when you are finished.
Carefully apply the paint to the dresser, being sure you are coating with even strokes. You want to make sure the paint is evenly distributed and not too thick. Also be sure to check for paint runs and drips as you go, and immediately wipe them down with a wet cloth as necessary. Make sure too, that you have the appropriate type of paintbrush for the job you are doing. It can make a world of difference.
If the chest is going to require more than one coat, allow the dresser to dry for twenty-four hours and then repeat the painting process until you have the desired affect.
Once the piece is dry, attach your new knobs and handles, and congratulate yourself for a job well done.

Sterling grew up knowing exactly who he was. He is from an ancient line and as such, he knew what was expected of him and how that would impact his future and that of his fated mate. But there were those that wanted what he had, and they'd stop at nothing to get it.
Wren is the only male omega in his family and he's always wanted a mate and pups, but his biggest fear is being paired with an alpha that doesn't understand there's more to him than the pups he can provide.
Leave it to the fates to know exactly who to pair together. When Sterling scents his mate, though surprised, he's thrilled with who the fates have gifted him. But will Sterling's differences keep them apart? Can Wren accept his alpha's claim even if it means losing everything he's ever known?
Sterling's Treasure is the second book in the Timber Valley Wolf Pack Series, which is a continuing story line after the Honey Creek Den series and is meant to be read in order. These are not standalones, even though each book focuses on a different couple. This book is intended for adults only as each book contains a fated mate pair, Mpreg, knotting during howly sexy times, and babies. These alphas will do anything for their mates, just read and see.

Daddy Love
Jon is in San Francisco on a business trip. He called early this morning and told the girls to run downstairs and to get on ichat on our computer. As soon as they clicked on the icon there he was waving at them from his hotel room. They talked and made jokes for a while and blew kisses through the screen. Gwen even showed off her new haircut. Seeing him like this with our girls makes me love him even more. After we said good-bye Elle said, "daddy sure loves us." He flies back home this afternoon and we all can't wait.

Gwen and I had a play-date today. With Elle at Kindergarten and Lily napping it left just the two of us together. This is her favorite activity...playing airplane. She also likes to play "spaceship" where I spin her around in circles. She is growing up so quickly. In fact, the two of us got up early this morning and went to preschool sign-ups for next year. She walked into the classroom and said (yelled), "Mom, I like this place!" I really LoVe this 3 year old.

Girls Only
This afternoon I went outside to find Elle and Gwen in our pop-up tent on our trampoline. They carried it out there all themselves. They also carried out a suitcase, every stuffed animal we own and multiple blankets, play-food and pillows. I was informed that it was for Girls Only! I had to draw the line when they were trying to get Lily out there with them. Visions of Lily rolling off the trampoline were running through my mind. I am however excited for the day when Lily CAN join them.

Sisters are Forever
I am constantly telling my girls how lucky they are to have each other. I tell them that no matter what... they need to love and look out for one another. That throughout their lives no one will understand them or "get them" as well as a sister. I know this from firsthand experience. I often say "Friends come and go but sisters are....(and they repeat with me) FOREVER".

Getting Real
I started laughing yesterday thinking about my last post on how I have learned to "mother" each of my kids. This was Gwen in the Lowe's parking lot yesterday afternoon. She literally had a complete and total melt down because I told her that I was not going to buy her the Barbie book she saw in the check-out line. Yes, she is lying on the cement parking lot floor here and just imagine the screaming with this shot as well. I had Elle and Lily with me as well and I didn't have a car to contain all of this craziness because we were waiting for my car which was being worked on, on the other side of the shopping center. There I was in full view of the world looking and feeling like a complete and total failure as a mom. I had NO IDEA what to do with her. She was beyond reasoning with. I literally just stood above her and tried to talk with her...then I tried to carry her...then I tried to ignore...then I tried to be firm. Nothing worked. Everything in me wanted to just walk straight back into the store and buy that darn book but I held strong. We were quite the sight as we walked with her trailing behind us screaming. I eventually scooped her up as she was thrashing in my arms. I told her I loved her but that we can't always get whatever we want. As soon as we got back to the tire center I sat her on my lap and just hugged her. She eventually calmed down and just snuggled into me on my lap. Her crying finally lessened and while sniffling Gwen softly whispered, "sowwy mom". I almost started crying. It's not pretty all the time but maybe I do know how to mother my kids after all.
I took this picture with my phone. When situations like this come up I often will take a picture of them on my phone and picture-text Jon with the line, "good times!". We have a good laugh with them later in the day. I sent this photo to Jon yesterday from the tire center.

My Sidekick
Here's my Lily sitting where she spends the majority of her day...on my lap (or hip). My brother Jason (a.k.a. uncle jakey) took this photo of us the other day. She is awake a lot more these days and if not in physical contact with me, she likes to have visual contact. If she can see me she's happy. She sits in a rear facing carseat and even as I drive she tries to crank her head around to watch me. If she can't see me while driving and is sad for some reason, she wimpers and I just put my hand back to her and she holds my finger. That calms her down every time. I love this about her. I love that over time I have learned how to mother each of my girls. They are all so different and I have different tricks for each of them. I also know that as they get older these little tricks won't work anymore and I will have to learn new ones.

Happy Easter!
We had a fun Easter morning. Before bed I gave the girls their Easter Pajamas and then they left out carrots for the Easter Bunny. They were really concerned that we didn't leave any water for him too. I went into their room before I went to bed (they had been asleep for a few hours) and as I pulled the blankets back up onto Elle she said, "mama, I really think the Easter Bunny would like some water". I assured her that I would go back downstairs and leave a glass of water for him next to the carrots. Pretty cute. This morning there were some very cute voices yelling with excitement as they marched down the stairs to their Easter baskets. Gwen yelled at the top of her lungs, " The Easter Bunny came to MY house"!!! Their main gifts were the books; Pinkalicious, Purplicious and Goldilicious. They are adorable storybooks and they have been wanting them for some time now. The egg hunt was a hit and they were in a full sprint for each egg they spied in the backyard. Our Lily-pie was just the sweetest little thing and loved watching all of the excitement from Jon's lap. Gwen adorned her baby sister with the bunny ears. We have loads of Sees chocolate around the house right now and I couldn't be happier. This afternoon we are heading out to have Easter dinner with Grandma and Grandpa McGee and the McGee cousins. A Very Happy Easter.

One of my editors who runs a monthly outdoor page suggested I do a column on "When wild animals encroach on your yard and eat stuff they shouldn't." Welcome to spring in the Kansas outdoors when all the critters are on the prowl around chicken coops, corrals and even backyards looking for quick, easy meals to feed dens and nests full of youngins.' I've already had a call from a local sheep farmer asking me to come trap coyotes and a bobcat hanging around his sheep pens. Those coyotes and that cat would undoubtedly be hanging out there anyway, but usually at night, unseen. This time of the year emboldens predators to hunt and prowl during the day when they would otherwise never think of it. A reader from Abbyville contacted me over the weekend telling me they have lost most of their chickens to what she believes to be a fox, which by the way, do quite well living in towns or on the outskirts of towns in our part of the state.
In late spring a few years ago, my friend was busy in a big round top shed that sits toward one corner of his yard, when his little Blue Heeler dog began raising cane from outside. He stuck his head out the door to see what was agitating the dog and noticed the roosters and the rest of the chickens in his chicken pen crowing, cackling and nervously milling about. He glanced behind the barn nearest the pen and noticed something bounding around wildly just behind the corral, less than fifty yards away. He headed around the barn and through the corral and found a whitetail doe jumping and dodging frantically around something in the field drive ahead. That "something" turned out to be a pair of coyotes with a small whitetail fawn pinned to the ground between them.
Like springtime on the farm, springtime in the wild is a season filled with babies everywhere. Just as that whitetail doe had her fawn to protect and feed, you can bet those coyotes had a den full of hungry little mouths to feed also. It is no coincidence that there is more prey available in the form of young, easily caught critters at this time each year, just exactly when every wild animal needs extra prey to feed its young. Isn't it amazing how everything seems to come full circle back to the fact that God knew exactly what He was doing when he engineered the order of things! Even with the glut of easily caught "wild" lunches right now, predators are still opportunists at heart and will not think twice about grabbing a young farm animal or even cats, kittens and small dogs if given the chance. As spring turns into July and August, increased predation seen in the spring will slow again, but in the meantime, there are a few extra precautions that can be taken to at least make the opportunists think twice about grabbing' something from the coop, corral or backyard.
Even though you can't keep an eye on poultry and young farm animals 24/7, giving them a place under roof to spend the night will help dramatically. Giving poultry a place to spend the night behind a closed door is a good thing any time of the year. Remember, despite their willingness to prowl more during daylight right now, a predator's favorite time to hunt is still after dark. Keeping the grass and weeds mowed and trees pruned around pens will help also, as removing any cover predators can use to sneak close to a barn, chicken house or yard will help deter their presence. Sadly to say, there's not a lot that can be done in town to deter predators aside from keeping cats, dogs and chickens within a fenced yard or enclosure of some sort.
Playing a radio and keeping a couple lights lit in the barn where sheep and goats spend the night will sound like human activity to a predator and can help deter their presence.
The most effective predator prevention is probably a good watch dog, even if it's small. Dogs of any size make predators nervous, and even though any coyote, bobcat or raccoon worth its salt can easily overpower most small dogs especially if they catch them out in the open, a noisy little mutt relentlessly yapping away at them as they slink around the barn or sheep pen might at least make them question their plan, and will likely alert you in the process. Unfortunately a yappy little dog will probably not work well in town, as they might help keep predators at bay, but will surely keep you in hot water with the rest of the neighborhood.
Yup, its spring time in the Kansas outdoors again, and all the critters and predators have families to feed and might "Encroach on your yard and eat stuff they shouldn't" as they follow their God-given instincts to protect and feed their young. Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning that, after all, I'm a coyote trapper. But I am saying that understanding why it happens helps me look at it from a slightly different perspective. ….Continue to Explore Kansas Outdoors!

As a side note, Bob and Margaret Massey, friends of ours near Winfield say the prairie chickens are beginning to "boom," which is an interesting part of their spring mating ritual every outdoorsman should see. They have a trailer blind set up for viewing and a place to stay if you wish. To make reservations to witness this amazing rite of spring, email them at [email protected], or call 620-415-7001.

What is healthy eating?
As I've mentioned in our previous A Healthier Lifestyle post, your mindset is your most important tool if you want to live healthier. It all starts from the inside; once you have changed your mindset, you are set to implement healthier changes.
The first step is to remove all processed food from your diet. All foods that have been altered in any way usually contains additives, preservatives, colourants, flavourants, sugar and fats that we don't need. I always say: eat less from a box, and more from the earth. Keep your foods as organic as possible. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, free range meat and unprocessed, natural grains. The problem is people think that eating healthy is boring. It's not! Not only will your food taste fresher and better, but you will immediately feel a difference – you will become 'lighter' and more energetic. So, wherever possible, use fresh, organic ingredients in your meals. Here are just some of the many foods to guide you in the right direction:
Protein: a deficiency in protein leads to muscle atrophy, and impaired functioning of the human body in general. High protein foods include:
- Lean Meat
- Fish
- Chicken
- Beans
- Lentils
- Nuts and seeds
Healthy Fats: healthy fats have many important function as a nutrient. It is a concentrated source of energy and provides essential building blocks for the cells in the body. Fat is a carrier for fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and it contains essential fatty acids like omega 3 and omega 6. It also supports growth and development of the body, as well as the brain. Healthy fats can be found in the following foods:
- Avocados
- Eggs
- Olive Oil
- Nuts
- Fish
Carbohydrates: Carbs provide energy for working muscles, provides fuel for the central nervous system, enables fat metabolism and prevents protein from being used as energy. People thing that eating carbs will make them fat. That is furthest from the truth – carbs are the body's fuel, without it, it cannot function. Carbs feed the furnace of the body – enabling it to burn fat properly. The problem is the wrong carbs, as well as too much carbs in a diet. Here is a list of healthy sources of carbohydrates:
- Brown Rice
- Beans
- Fruits
- Leafy Green Vegetables
- Sweet Potatoes
- Peas
- Oats
- Pumpkin
- Butternut
- Lentils
Try to stay away from refined carbs, like bread, bagels, biscuits, muffins, chips, sodas, cake, pastries, pancakes, baked goods and anything that contains high fructose corn syryp. During the refining process, these foods are stripped of B-vitamins, fiber and certain minerals. In addition, they also have a high glycemic index that negatively affects blood sugar levels. These foods are low in nutrients and have little to no nutritional value. They simply add onto your calories without adding any nutritional value. According to researchers at Yale University, bad carbohydrates such as sweets and biscuits cause drops in blood sugar, affecting the part of the brain that controls impulse. This leads to a loss of self-control and a desire for unhealthy, high-calorie foods. A diet high in calories contributes to weight gain, which increases the risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.
Bottom line; eat more from the earth and less from a box. Stay away from foods that have been altered by man in any way, as they usually contain ingredients that is of no nutritional value. Feed your body with nutritious, wholesome meals and you WILL see and feel a difference. And remember, a healthy diet and an active lifestyle goes hand in hand. The healthier you eat, the better you will feel and the better you feel, the better you will WANT to feel.
Check in next week for another segment on A Healthier Lifestyle, where I will elaborate more on calorie intake and how to work out your Total Daily Energy Expenditure and your Basal Metabolic Rate, which will help you work out how much food you need to consume every day to lose weight, maintain your weight, or gain weight.

The importance of video surveillance in the corporate world can sometimes be overlooked, especially when companies are just getting started, or are in the process of transitioning to a larger operation. While rights to privacy can be a much disputed issue, expectations within the workplace do acknowledge that it is in an owner's best interest to protect their investment and livelihood. This is similar to when private homeowners set up video surveillance and cameras that not only monitor the immediate property, but also public roadways that lead to the structure.
For some heads of company, and even heads of household, it can be difficult to broach this subject with others, however, there are also two very important points to consider. Within a private residence, the owner does have the right to take safety measures for protection, so long as these measures do not impinge upon another's individual privacy. For this reason, visual surveillance of public spaces is considered legally acceptable, so long as the cameras do not look into the actual home of another person.
The second point to remember is that business owners have the right to invest in surveillance for their company and office, so long as employees are aware that CCTVs are in operation. Obvious incursions on actual privacy would include restrooms, but the rest of the office space is regarded as public access for staff.
The difficulty in broaching the disclosure aspect with employees can come from a fear that trust will be strained, although presenting the concept of security cameras and surveillance in an objective manner can also improve this transition. By posing the goal for security as one of protecting the company and the employees, any resistance to surveillance efforts in the workplace can generally be overcome. The concept of safety can be further reinforced through the actual placement of security cameras.
Looking at Trouble Spots
Another concern that business owners can have is how much to invest in video surveillance and security cameras. One unfortunate tendency is that entry and exit ways may be covered, but this also leaves blind spots that can obscure approach to the office and activities that may be happening within. This also leaves places where employees could run into dangerous situations, especially if they are accessing their vehicle late at night. For this reason, even initial investments in cameras and video surveillance should be moderate at least, since with proper positioning, even as few as eight cameras can cover a small office space and the parking lot.
This also means that before settling on a full camera setup, it can be helpful to do a walkthrough of the space with a professional surveillance supplier, since this can also uncover areas that could use a video system, especially if they are not extensively traveled. The result is that the best camera coverage can be obtained with minimal expenditure.
As Far as the Camera Can See
Modern video surveillance equipment has seen vast technological improvements, to the point where even mid to low grade cameras can provide high resolution stills. However, some systems will still utilize the frame by frame approach in order to save on recording space. What this means is that the surveillance video is actually a series of pictures that may be snapped around three to five seconds apart, and this can reduce the valid information that is available when it is needed.
Although the recording capacity of video surveillance hardware and the function of specific cameras can be linked, a number of mid to high quality security cameras are also scalable, based on the video hardware they are used with. This means that business owners can focus on the qualities they are looking for in an actual security camera, while also trusting that appropriate hardware and software for operation will further unlock the surveillance capacity.
In regards to cameras themselves, some points to consider include:
- Size and weight, especially in regards to how they are mounted
- Static positioning or sweeping views
- Grades of still and video resolution
- Zoom capabilities
- Audio and visual or visual only
- Indoor and outdoor compatibility
- The need for night vision or low light modes
- Internal or external power source
- RF, wifi, or hardwired configurations for cameras within the CCTV
While overall pricing and the amount of security cameras that are needed can also be good factors to consider, it is always best to go with the product that will provide the most usefulness, and not just the most savings.
Bringing the Picture into Focus
Another necessary factor to look into when investing in video surveillance is how footage will be recorded, stored, and viewed. The use of digital playback hardware also gives owners further options for how they can best monitor the office, and ensures better safety for all employees. Much of the actual hardware for this type of security is fairly standard in design, but software upgrades can continue to improve functionality, even over time. However, hardware can have some physical constraints that should also be evaluated.
- Memory and storage capacity, especially if there is the capacity to back up recordings through external hard drives
- How long images can be set to store, and whether they will be automatically recorded over
- Port capacity, which is necessary for expanding video surveillance systems
- Camera access, which can include remote or wired units to the hardware, but also includes the maximum number of cameras that can be synced to the hardware
- Network compatibility, which can be particularly necessary if owners also want to establish remote access through personal and digital devices
Although the process of setting up video surveillance and security cameras in the office can seem like a large task, the proper choice of equipment can also mean that changes are enables at a later point in time. This scalability should apply to the capacities of the hardware itself, but should also consider software and programming patches that can improve function and versatility of the system.

Some people love graduate school, but most of us want to finish it up and get started with our real lives.
A couple nights ago I met a guy who was finishing his thesis at a university about 5 hours away. He had just moved here to take a job. After only two weeks, he was totally immersed in his new job, and I asked him if he was concerned about being able to finish up his thesis. He said, "Oh, no, not at all. My university's only 5 hours away, and I've only got a couple months of work left on it."
The idea of starting a new life or a new job a few months early – say, before we've wrapped up our dissertation – sounds pretty good. After all, some people telecommute from home, so it should be a snap to telecommute back to the university and finish up our dissertation away from the anxieties of campus. For instance, you could now start your new gig (maybe as a professor) in June instead of August. Your plan would be to move, get settled, wrap up the dissertation, and get two months of a tempting new salary.
When I was a PhD student, someone told me that if you want to know how long it will take to finish your dissertation if you move away, you use a simple formula. You take your best guess of how long you think it will take to finish, then you triple it and add three months. So if you think you have 2 months left on your dissertation, and you move away in June, you won't be finished until following March – in 9 months instead of 2 months (2 months x 3 + 3 months = 9 months). This is a rough rule-of-thumb, that varies across schools, departments, and people. Still, when I heard this, I wasn't going to take any chances. I spent my last 2 months couch surfing so I could wrap it up before I left.
What happens when you move is not only that it takes time to get resettled and you no longer have the support structure of your PhD program (and the "in sight & in mind" attention of your committee), but you also don't feel the urgency to finish. You're settling into a new role, and everybody's happy to have you around. But in a few months when your department chair asks whether you're through, it's going to be awkward to answer.
You might not have the option of completing a dissertation on campus, but if you can, it's worth sleeping on
couches until it's done.

Vocabulary for Storytelling Protagonist Antagonist Inciting Incident Hook Plot Point Turning point subplot
Game Mechanics and Theory CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Character Classes Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) introduced character classes. Common types of classes Fighter- focused on combat abilities but usually lacks magical abilities Thief/Rogue – focused on stealth and high-damage but usually lacks defense or armor rating Mage – powerful magical abilities but physically weak Cleric/Priest – healing and supportive magical abilites
Combined classes There are variations of the 4 main class types though and can pretty much be combined in any way. Thief + Fighter = Assassin Cleric + Fighter = Paladin Mage + Fighter = Battle Mage Thief + Mage = Bard or Mesmer Ranged Thief + Support = Engineer Some can combine more than one class Ex: Fighter + Mage + Cleric = Druid
Class trees Class trees are used to add more variation to the classes

Mage Characteristics Magical auras Staff, wand, or spellbook Pointed hat or hood Usually wears cloth robes
Paladin Characteristics Heavy plate armor Large or multiple weapons Great amount of health White/Gold/Blue armor Shield with one-handed weapon
Game Mechanics and Theory GAMEPLAY
What is the relationship between gameplay and game story? Why is the experience of playing the game so important? How should game rules be structured?
Vocabulary Non-playable character (NPC) – a character that cannot be controlled by a real player Avatar – the character that represents a player in the game Allies – characters that are on the player's side Enemies – characters that are against the player
The relationship between gameplay and game story Gameplay is "a set of instructions for the player" Also known as "rules of play" You can have a game without a story Ex: Tetris You cannot have a game without gameplay Ex: ???
Gameplay types Asymmetrical Gameplay – multiple player play the same game simultaneously in different ways. Cooperative Gameplay – players work together to meet a goal Deathmatch – players work alone and fight each other Twitch Gameplay – tests a player's reaction time
Gameplay Types (continued) Hack and Slash – focuses on melee fighting Leveled Gameplay – Game gradually increases in difficulty Micromanagement – player manages several small groups of units and controls most if not all actions of those units Nonlinear Gameplay – players face challenges that can be completed in a number of different sequences
The key to a good game is getting the gameplay and the game story to be in harmony with each other. Ex: Call of Duty game about saving whales Good gameplay and a good story usually make for a good game. Just because gameplay is bad doesn't mean the game is bad
Victory and Lose conditions Each gameplay type will have different win and lose conditions Victory ["Win"] conditions are the conditions that must be met to win the game. Lost ["Lose"] conditions are the conditions that must be met to lose the game.
Interactivity conflict Player vs Player (PVP) – the player fights other real players Player vs Environment (PVE) – the player fights AI controlled enemies Can be played alone, with human companions, or AI companions
Choose a game, and determine what the "win" and "loss" conditions are in relation to gameplay. Are they different from the story?
Balance of gameplay A good game has to balance several factors Obstacles and Aids If the obstacles might be too much of a challenge, add aids to help the player figure it out. Penalties and Rewards If the player uses aids, add a penalty or reduce the reward
Design Principles
Concept Art Modeling Texturing Animation Movement Appearance 2-D 3-D

Types of Brain Injuries
Many accidents result in traumatic brain injuries and, while that's certainly a commonly used phrase, most people don't realize it encompasses a variety of medical conditions. A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, can include a concussion or may have a penetrated object to the brain. Additionally, a head injury can result in a diffuse axonal, a contusion, or a coup and contrecoup. Whatever your specific condition, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. You may also need to contact our personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles.
These are the most common types of head trauma injuries and the ones which any brain injury lawyer in Los Angeles may be the most familiar with. It's an impact injury, which is often caused by a fierce blow to the head. As the impact occurs, the individual may feel dizzy or confused and may also lose consciousness.
A contusion is a condition in which there's bleeding in the brain. Since this condition is sometimes also caused by a sudden impact, it can occur simultaneously with a concussion. If you experience a contusion or a concussion as the result of an accident, you should contact a head injury lawyer in Los Angeles as soon as you are able.
Coup and Contrecoup Injuries
This is related to a contusion and involves a similar injury. Again, it's caused by a sudden impact or blow to the skull, but, in this case, the bleeding occurs on the side opposite the side of impact. This is a medical condition that requires immediate medical care and, if you are diagnosed with a coup and countrecoup injury, you might also need to contact an experienced brain injury lawyer in Los Angeles.
Diffuse Axonal
This is a condition created by an extremely rapid moving of the head, such as that which occurs in an auto accident. The rapid movement causes the brain to be tossed back and forth within the skull. The force at which the brain is slammed around can cause either short-term or longer lasting brain damage. Depending on the severity of the condition, a coma or death may also result.
Penetrating Injury
This is a condition in which a foreign object penetrates the skull and passes through the brain. The foreign object most often observed in these injuries is a bullet fired from a gun, but may also include any object propelled at a sufficient speed as to penetrate the skull. Because these injuries often have long-lasting effects on the individual's health, it's important to consult a head injury lawyer in Los Angeles about seeking damages.
Whatever the specific traumatic brain injury, there's no telling how recovery will proceed. In some cases, a brain injury may lead to permanent brain damage, the development of psychological illnesses, and physical conditions that may never be alleviated. That's why it's important to consult a personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles about seeking compensation. When the injury was caused through the fault of another, you may be entitled to damages to cover the costs of medical treatment, pain and suffering, lost wages, and long-term therapy.
