LuaRocks is a package manager for Lua modules. Since version 1.0, the format of the package specification file (rockspec) was unchanged, in the name of compatibility. For the next major release of LuaRocks, we intend to make a backward-compatible revision to the format. However, instead of guessing which features will be needed in the forthcoming years, the idea is to make the format extensible through add-ons, as discussed in this Lua Workshop 2014 talk.
There are two sides to making an application extensible: defining hooks to the application where extensions will plug into, and defining a public API, which is the parts of the application that the extensions will see/access.
This includes major design work, and the student is not expected to do this alone: the design part will be discussed with the mentor and the LuaRocks community at large through the LuaRocks mailing list. The coding part, of course, is up to the student.
The best way to evaluate new APIs is to put them to work: the second phase of the project will be to write some add-ons, to exercise the new features. Two features that are often requested by the community are support for running tests and generating documentation files: these would make great add-ons.

The NetBSD Operating System has a kernel-level Lua interpreter version for scripting its kernel. For example, it allows users to filter packets using Lua scripts.
The main difference between kernel Lua and regular user-level Lua is that kernel Lua doesn't have support for standard libraries that depend on operating system (e.g., io and os) and for floating-point numbers. The purpose of this project is to port the Lua Test Suite to NetBSD kernel. That is, to adapt scripts from Lua test suite and develop a NetBSD loadable kernel module containing the C portion of Lua test suite.

Elasticsearch is a distributed and scalable search engine. It is written in Java and, besides the transport protocol (Java to Java), it offers a very complete REST API accessed through JSON
Elasticsearch clients for different scripting languages such as Python, PHP and Perl have already been developed. However, a client for Lua is still not available.
This project aims to create a complete Lua client to access Elasticsearch.

Typed Lua is an optional type system for Lua, and its main goal is to provide static type checking for Lua. To do that, Typed Lua extends the syntax of Lua 5.3 to introduce optional type annotations, and performs local type inference to detect more precise types for unannotated expressions. Even though the compiler warns the programmer about type errors, it always removes the type annotations to generate Lua code that runs in unmodified Lua implementations, and this code does not insert any run-time checks that ensure safety between dynamically typed and statically typed code.

CGILua is a tool for creating dynamic Web pages and manipulating input data from Web forms. One of advantages of CGILua is its abstraction of the underlying Web server. CGILua can be used with a variety of Web servers and, for each server, with different launchers. A launcher is responsible for the interaction of CGILua and the Web server, for example using ISAPI on IIS or mod_lua on Apache. The reference implementation of CGILua launchers is Kepler.
WSAPI is an API that abstracts the web server from Lua web applications. WSAPI provides a set of helper libraries that help with request processing and output buffering.
Actually CGILua has an implementation of an abstract underlying server which is almost the same of WSAPI itself. This project proposes a reimplementation of this layer (called SAPI) to explore WSAPI fully. This should improve the performance and simpify maintenance.
Advanced Lua programming is mandatory, since both tools (CGILua and WSAPI) are not naive software. A good understanding of the Lua environment concept is particularly necessary in this project.
Web programming experience can be very helpful especially to understand the context of use of these tools.

LuaSOAP is a library to ease the use of SOAP. LuaSOAP provides a very simple API that convert Lua tables to and from XML documents. It also offers a simple way to invoke remote Web Services without having to deal directly with SOAP messages. In fact, LuaSOAP also provides a simple way to offer Web Services -- the server side -- but it lacks support for WSDL generation of the offered services.
WSDL is an XML format for describing network services. It is used to describe operations and messages -- with its types -- offered by Web Services. Since Lua code does not include type information, automatic generation has to be based on some kind of hand-made declarative information.

LuaSQL is a generic interface from Lua to a DBMS. It aims at portability over performance, but it allows extensions to suit the particularities of each DBMS.
The inclusion of support for prepared statements in LuaSQL has been discussed thoroughly some time ago, but since each DBMS offers very different APIs there is no standard that could be defined to assure portability between them. Anyway the demand persists.
This project proposes the addition of a minimal API that would allow each driver to implement prepared statements according to its DBMS restrictions.

VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols. Lua scripts can be added to VLC for tasks such as playlist construction and service discovery. Such tasks may involve a lot of parsing and communication and could benefit from using multiple CPUs when available. The purpose of this project is to include support for multi-CPU usage in VLC, using luaproc, a library that allows programmers to create multiple independent execution flows of Lua code that can run inparallel, communicating only via message-passing.

The wireshark network protocol analyser allows programmers to use Lua to write dissectors, post-dissectors and taps. Dissectors are protocol analysers, while post-dissectors are executed after all others dissectors, and taps are used to collect information after packet dissection. Protocol dissection can involve time constraints, and it would be nice to benefit from multi-CPU processing power in dissector script. The purpose of this project is to include support for multi-CPU usage in wireshark, using luaproc, a library that allows programmers to create multiple independent execution flows of Lua code that can run inparallel, communicating only via message-passing.
We expect the support for Multi-CPU usage in wireshark.

Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) are an expressive formalism for designing and implementing top-down parsers with local backtracking. A frequently missed feature of PEGs is left recursion, which is commonly used in Context-Free Grammars (CFGs) to encode left-associative operations.
There is a formal extension to the PEGs formalism that allows the use of left-recursive rules in a PEG grammar and that was implemented by some PEG-based tools, such as LPegLJ and IronMeta.
The aim of this project is to create a fork of LPeg, an implementation of PEGs for Lua based on a virtual parsing machine.

Most RMI protocols available today are either focused on inefficient representation formats for typing information (e.g. GIOP/IIOP (CORBA), Hessian, Google Protocol Buffers) or on invocations where the typing information are predefined and static, therefore are absent on the data sent through the wire (e.g. SOAP, JSON, Burlap).
Few protocols are designed to work efficiently with typed data. Invocations with typed data work well with the RPC model because it allows the identification of deployment problems (mismatch interfaces) and facilitate the dynamic evolution of distributed systems. A protocol for dynamically typed RPC should be based on a efficient serialization format for typed data, that is, information about how the data should be interpreted.
The goal of this project is to design and implement a serialization binary serialization format with the following requirements:

Standard Lua distribution is based mostly on standard ANSI C libraries only. Therefore, many functionalities provided by modern platforms (like process control, file system operations, network communication, kernel event notification, etc.) are only available through third-party libraries that are developed independently and might not integrate.
The project has three main goals:
A set of Lua libraries implemented at least in one major operating system platform. The library shall provide support for:
The implementation shall also be flexible enough to facilitate the portability for other platforms.

Céu appeared last year on "StrangeLoop" and the "Future Programming Workshop":
http://www.future-programming.org/program.html
Here are some possible projects to look for:
(Previous experience with Céu is of course not required.)
Linux, Mac or Windows?
The current distribution of Céu is only available for Linux.
A student using another operating system is also welcome, as long as she/he has
the skills to build the development environment by her/himself.
The compiler of Céu depends on gcc, lua-5.1, and lua-lpeg.
It is highly recommended that the student installs Céu, compiles some examples,
possibly making something very simple from scratch (or changing some existing
example).
For us, this is important to see if the student will be able to keep track of the project.
For the student, this initial experience is important to ensure that the
expectations with the project match the reality.
If the student has participated in other open source projects, it is also recommended that she/he tell us about that experience

Still using the USer model as an example
//Finds
await jollof.models.User.findBy({firstName: 'foo', lastName: 'bar'}, opts)
await jollof.models.User.findOneBy({firstName: 'foo', lastName: 'bar'}, opts)
//Counts
await jollof.models.User.countBy({firstName: 'foo', lastName: 'bar'})
//Updates
await jollof.models.User.updateBy({id: '...'}, newValues)
//Remove
await jollof.models.User.removeBy({id: '...'})
JFQL is the data language of JollofJS.
It is a simple language that consists of arrays, where each condition in the array is ANDED.
Each condition follows the convention [FIELD_NAME, COMPARATOR, VALUE ]
.
You can also explicitly define AND or OR conditions by wrapping the condition groups in {and: conditions} or {or: conditions}
const date1 = new Date('...');
const date2 = new Date('...');
const query= [
[ 'firstName', '=', 'Patrick' ],
[ 'lastName', '=', 'Squid' ],
{
or:[
[ 'dateCreated', '<=', date1],
[ 'dateCreated', '>=', date2]
]}
]
//Finds
await jollof.models.User.find(query, opts)
await jollof.models.User.findOne(query, opts)
//Counts
await jollof.models.User.count(query)
//Updates
await jollof.models.User.update(query, newValues)
//Remove
await jollof.models.User.remove(query)
You can use this right in the admin backend as well to explore your app’s data. (skip const query=
)
These are the supported comparators for JFQL.
= != > >= < >=
See the Models section on Native functions.
Each database has it’s own way of storing Id fields or fields that “ref” to other entities. E.g MongoDB uses the ObjectID object type to store id fields.
Given this, it is important to make sure you are using the right Id type when constructing conditions involving Ref fields. i.e checking an ObjectID ref field with a string value (as is what you would most likely get from server request params/queries/etc) will not match!
The recommended way to do this is to use Model.wrapId(yourId)
.
This will convert the id value you are checking with to the right Id type.
//in some controller
var stringId = req.params.id;
...
//somewhere down the execution path, where you need to make a jollofJS query with this Id
const User = jollof.models.User;
const id = User.wrapId(stringId);
//Now you can use it to build conditions
await User.find([ ['someRefField', '=', id] ]);
await User.findBy({someOtherRef: id});
Doing it this way (instead of manually casting it yourself) ensures that you don’t have to worry about this later if the Model’s datasource changes to another database entirely that handles Ids differently.

Thierry Henry named as new Montreal Impact boss as Arsenal icon returns to management
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry was sacked after a brief spell with Monaco but is now back in management in the MLS
by Liam Prenderville, http://www.facebook.com/mirrorfootballThierry Henry has been appointed as head coach of Major League Soccer club Montreal Impact.
The former Arsenal striker has signed a two-year contract with the option of a further season, following an unsuccessful stint in charge of Monaco, which ended in January.
Henry finished his playing career in MLS, scoring 51 goals in 122 appearances for the New York Red Bulls.
He is widely regarded as one of the finest strikers of his generation and scored a whopping 228 goals for Arsenal to become their all-time record goalscorer.
“It’s an honour to coach the Montreal Impact and return to MLS,” said Henry.
“It’s a league I know well, in which I had some very nice moments. To be in Quebec, in Montreal, which has an enormous multicultural heritage, it’s extraordinary. I’ve always kept an eye on the club and now I’m here.”
The legendary Frenchman will be formally presented at a press conference on Monday and will begin his new management stint in January.
“We are extremely happy to announce the nomination of this legend of the game,” added Montreal Impact president and CEO Kevin Gilmore.
“Henry will bring a new energy to our club. He shares our vision to elevate this club and will help us achieve our goals on and off the field. He is a competitor and a leader who has proven himself at the highest level throughout his career.
"He now brings these qualities with him to Montreal, a place he wants to be.”
His imminent stint in the MLS will be his first managerial role since his miserable spell with Monaco.
Henry replaced Leonardo Jardim at the French side last November but it turned out to be a disastrous spell for the Frenchman.
The former Gunners striker managed just five wins in 20 games before he was sacked and, bizarrely, replaced by Jardim who returned to the helm at Monaco.

A series of courses and materials to encourage young people to take up computer programming.
The key features of our programmes will be:
We are creating a rod for our own backs here.
Important because computer programming is most successfully learned through practice.
Practice requires self motivation which is much easier to do if one is passionate.
Holding the interest of participants will be most easily achieved if our projects are interesting.
We intend to start with a website, as it is the quickest way to get something on screen.
In our first course those who don't have their own idea, will build a simple twitter clone, with Python.
We are passionate about sharing and developing skills which are of real practical use.
Consequently we intend to use real industry tools, all of which will be open-source.
Successful participants will be able to talk about their project with a computer programmer as a peer.
Sharing knowledge and skills is almost always an unfettered good.
However, there are specific issues which are our priorities.
There is currently no universally recognized computer related qualification which demonstrates an ability to write computer programmes.
Websites such as Stack Overflow and GitHub make it possible to objectively demonstrate the depth, breadth and quality of your knowledge to the detriment of those who don't know of their importance.
Without encouragement and support from knowledgeable members of the community these sites, tools and systems can be daunting.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that their are very few female computer programmers in Britain. Our team contains none, neither did the much larger team before that and my father could count on the fingers of his left hand the number of female programmers he has worked with.
By demonstrating computer programming in a sociable and supportive environment we hope to encourage girls to take an interest in the subject.
If we are to achieve our target of a 50-50 gender balance within our courses we will likely need to enact strongly discriminatory selection bias in favour of female applicants.
Tower Hamlets, and its neighbouring inner London boroughs, are amongst some of the most deprieved in Britain.
Canary Wharf is a center of relatively fantastically well paying jobs few of which are gained by local people.
Programming is one of the few professions where it really doesn't matter how you speak, or who you know. If we can impart the skills and enthusiasm to local people now in 6 to 10 years time these students could be candidates for the various Canary Wharf graduate and apprenticeship programmes.
Running this programme will require substantial effort and planning on our part.
The key areas we have considered are:
Barclays have kindly offered us the use of the computer labs in their Training centre to run our courses.
Initially we intend to have 12 students as we believe the 6:1 ratio this will create is sufficient to be manageable with our limited teaching experience.
Courses will typically run for either 6, 8 or 12 sessions held over consecutive weeks during academic term time with a large component of self study.
We plan to keep a blog of our experiences to provide encouragement and advice to others who want to run a similar programme.
Reveal.js and GitHub Pages will allow us to publish all the slideshows we will use as teaching aides in easily editable and reusable way.
Github will allow us to open source all our projects with clear checkpoints, continuous improvement and complete transparency.
We are keen to begin this journey and understand that this enthusiasm is likely to lead to some mistakes.
Mistakes should not be feared, but embraced as a learning experience, planning is important but too much planning can lead to inertia.
The number of variables is such that it would be impossible to control for them all, sufficiently documented trial and error will likely lead to the best long term results.

I am a self-taught front-end developer who fell in love with programming and creating websites two years ago. Since then, there is no stopping.
My projects include work on interactive and responsive design, mobile-friendly sites, wireframing and prototyping with tools such as Adobe XD, Photoshop etc.

When I am not coding, I keep myself occupied with writing, freelancing and helping my mum with house chores. #IReallyDo :)
Other than my new found love (coding), I also like to read, mostly self-help and mythological genres and play on Dribble and fcc. I admire and follow : Michelle Obama, Priyanka Chopra I am grateful to coding stars: Brad Traversy, mmtuts and Brad Hussey among others.I am currently available for full time positions as a Front-end Developer / designer and work on bettering the user experience by pushing the limits of art, design and coding.

1 The most important part of everything that I have written is that we have a high priest who has sat down to rule in the place of greatest honor in heaven, beside God himself.
2 He serves in the sanctuary, that is, in the true place of worship in heaven. That is the true Sacred Tent, for the Lord set it up, not Moses.
3 God appoints every high priest to offer gifts and sacrifices for the people's sins. So since Christ became a high priest, he also had to offer something.
4 Since there are already priests who offer gifts as God's law requires, if Christ were now living on the earth, he would not be a high priest at all.
5 The priests in Jerusalem perform rituals that are only a copy of what Christ does in heaven. This is because when Moses was about to set up the Sacred Tent, God told him, "Be sure that you make everything according to what I showed you on Mount Sinai!"
6 But now Christ serves in a much better way than the Jewish priests do. In the same way, the new covenant that he established between God and people is better than the old one. When he established the new covenant, he promised us better things than the laws that God gave Moses.
7 God needed to make this new covenant, because the first covenant had not done everything well.
8 Because God declared that the Israelites were guilty of not obeying the first covenant, he wanted a new covenant. This is what a prophet wrote about that:
"The Lord says, 'Listen! There will soon be a time
when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and the people of Judah.
9 That covenant will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
when I led them out of Egypt like a father leads his young child.
They did not continue to obey my covenant,
so I let them alone,' says the Lord.
10 'This is the covenant that I will make with the Israelites,
after the first covenant has ended,' says the Lord:
'I will enable them to understand my laws,
and I will enable them to obey them sincerely from their hearts.
I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 No one will need to teach a fellow citizen
or tell his fellow kinsmen, 'You need to know the Lord,'
because all my people will know me:
everyone among my people, from the least important to the most important, will know me.
12 I will mercifully forgive them for the wicked things they have done.
I will no longer consider that they are guilty for their sins."
13 Since God said that he was making a new covenant, we know that he considered that the first covenant was no longer in use, and that it would soon disappear.

Have you ever tried the magic loop method for knitting? I can't believe what I've been missing out on. For some reason I was scared of trying out this method for knitting in the round, but I am so glad I got my knitty together and with the help of a youtube session I was on my way. Now I've given it a go, it seems almost too easy! Silly me. I can't tell you the amount of times I have put things in the too hard basket, only to find that once I've put my hand to whatever I've been avoiding, it has worked out to not be such a biggie. Seriously, it is one of my life lessons.
My current knitting project is Askel. It's a cute hooded vest that will (hopefully) be for Jairah. I didn't have 5ply yarn in my stash, so I'm using 8ply. I cast on with 3.75mm needles for the waistband then 4mm for the body and using the dimensions for size 2, I'm hoping for a size 4(ish) outcome. It is knitting up really quickly and I attribute that to the magic loop method. I've just finished the bands of colour in the the body of the vest, but it is too late to take a decent photo. I will share more pictures on Wednesday for Yarn Along. Till then, happy knitting.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
So finished Sarvik with back like an oak, and lolling red tongue, his Wonder Stories.
And the Four Ancient Wizards of the South Baltic Lands, ground their teeth, whistled, howled, and were still.
Beat! Beat! Beat! And as the Great Nischergurgje struck his Drum with his golden drum-hammer, a gray light fell through the smoke-hole in the top of the tent. The fire died down and its gray, gray smoke curled upward, out of the smoke hole, and mixed with the gray light.
And the Lapp people looked up, and cried:
"Ah-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!"

Weeks had passed while the Magic Stories were being told, and the Lapp people did not know it!
"Lo! the gray dawn comes!" shouted Nischergurgje as he struck his Magic Drum. "The Sun is not dead! He has turned his course. He is coming back. The Long Night, so sad and gloomy, will soon be ended. See! The pack reindeer are butting their horns into the birch thickets and the willow bushes; it bodes the coming of spring. See! The young fawns are lying on their sides, their legs as straight as arrows; it bodes the coming of flowers.
"Now, let the feast be served and tales told, while we wait for the golden sun to show his face above the rim of the world."
And the feast was served again.
Then Nischergurgje, the tree-tall, tree-straight one, called out:
"Kurbads, giant-strong, with yellow eyeballs and green hair, tell us Wonder Stories from your wonder land, Latvia of the crystal streams."
And the Four Ancient Wizards howled, whistled, ground their teeth, and were still.
And all the Lapp people said, "Ah-a-a-a-a-a!" and were still, and listened.
Kurbads, giant-strong, rolled his yellow eyeballs round and round, while each one of his green hairs stood on end and wriggled like a snake.
And he began:

The compass of shame is an interesting model to use when breaking down conflicts between people. I find it very similar to the SWOT Analysis when analyzing a businesses position in a marketplace. In general, I am a relatively non-confrontational person. I don't like it, and commonly don't look for confrontation. There have been times in the past for whatever reason they do come about, and most commonly due to miscommunication, or due to someone spreading untrue rumors.
This particular time that I will use for this example was regarding a work related issue. There was actually a software bug that arose after a release, and instead of remaining a work challenge, it turned into a personal issue between myself and another employee. The big came back to me, and initially I turned inward, or towards the "Attack Self" side of the spectrom. After being relatively down regarding this issue for a couple days trying to fix this persistent bug, I reached back out to the individual that sent this bug my way, and after some significant research it turned out to be their faulty implementation of my work that led to the bug.
I learned a great lesson from this incident. I learned that just because you think another individual is superior, or smarter, or has more experience, that doesn't mean they are always right. People make mistakes, and when mistakes or conflicts arise, it is most important to address them head on, while collecting as much information as possible regarding the cause of the problem before trying to fix it. More often than not, it is a communication or misinterpretation problem, instead of a true issue with whatever the case it may be regarding. Moral of the story regardless of the situation, before blaming yourself and taking on the problem head on and along, consult everyone involved to get as much information as possible. This will help find the root issue without attacking others or attacking yourself.

The Transition from Broadcast to Multiplatform for a public service broadcaster: getting attention and measuring success, Alice Taylor, Channel 4
Channel 4 Education's target audience is (will be) 12-19 year old. They weren't watching much TV in the morning slots, so now CH4 go where they are: online.
One myth about teenagers is that they have the latest technology. They don't: it's mostly broken, hand-me-down. Only 1/4 of teenagers self-describe as mainstream.
In broadcasters, digital projects are usually "support". That's not the case for Alice's folks. An hour of TV usually costs 100k (40-60k if it was cheap, 150k if it was expensive): a rough audience of 100k for £100k. Can online do better?
What kinds of things? Games, TVs with tools, TV/app blends. Not much iPhone (3.5% of UK have iPhone, a subset of them are teenagers). The majority is on games.
In the UK, all top 10 destination sites for UK teenagers are American.
Using Bittorrent for distribution of Science of Scams. Unusual for a broadcaster.
Success is a combination of number of target audience reached, feedback from interested parties, feedback from critics, divided by cost: a blend of qualitative and quantitative.
Games lead to long dwell times: 15-25m. TV *can* do, but adding things around it (a celebrity for Science of Scams) can help.
Jean Burgess, Youtube's unfolding history
Youtube is 5 years old this year. Started as a dating-ish site. Youtube was underdetermined from the very start. Bedroom as vaudeville stage. Large proportion of content was video-blogged, a format that predates Youtube. A subset of the Youtube community sees itself as, and functions as, a community. The most subscribed channels have emerged organically from this "Youtube social network" - very few are large media brands.
Is Youtube a file-sharing/piracy site? No. The company is quarantining off big media into curated areas, away from the messy activities of Youtube users. Youtube is the biggest museum of television in the world, but its content has been selected collectively by its users - so it's an archive of public culture and has public value even though Youtube is not a public organisation.
Then there's remix culture: Downfall parodies, say. The messiness of our everyday practices when it comes to audiences or producing content are not compatible with the dominant business logic of the broadcast media.
Participation in user-created content is not universal.

SARAH OLIVIERI

Ruby Williams almost missed out on a life-changing experience because she was so skeptical about voluntourism.
“I put my payment down and I almost didn’t go after reading about … voluntourism,” Williams, a junior studying integrated social studies education, said. “It was really surprising to see how (GIVE) won me over. I saw they were doing a lot of good.”
Williams spent three months over the summer in Laos teaching and interning with GIVE, short for Growth International Volunteer Excursions. She knew the name of every kid that she worked with. It’s why when she sees photos of people working for orphanages with questionable volunteering companies, she is skeptical about the genuineness of it.
“(Voluntourism) just makes me sick to my stomach,” Williams said, adding that it “devalues local cultures” and “continues inequality in the world.”
Volunteering abroad can sound like the best of both worlds: doing good and seeing the world. However, proper research and cultural competency is necessary to make sure that both the hosts and the visitors get the most out of a volunteering experience.

Voluntourism, although it can produce some useful outcomes for communities overseas, has a negative connotation. Some programs put more focus on the vacation aspect rather than offering help. It’s what Williams said set her experience a part because she wasn’t vacationing and picking volunteer activities she wanted to do. Rather, she listened to the needs of the people living in her village and connected with them on a personal level.
The Ohio University student chapter of GIVE is a for-profit organization that sends anyone interested to four different destinations — Laos, Thailand, Nicaragua and Tanzania — to volunteer year-round. Kirsten Dabelko, senior global program coordinator at the Office of Global Opportunities, said the organization is an example of a good volunteer group, because it is educated and connected with the places it works with.
Williams, now the vice president of GIVE, said the founders had negative experiences with other volunteering organizations in the past that imposed Westernized culture on other countries in need.
“We are the hands. They are the minds,” Williams said.
OU also does not offer any university-sponsored volunteer abroad programs, but works with other companies to connect students to programs, Dabelko said. The Office of Global Opportunities has a handout on its website containing more than 17 different volunteering abroad programs. There is also a disclaimer about volunteering which states, “It is worth remembering that while many websites list volunteer opportunities abroad, a listing on a website does not guarantee quality or legitimacy.”
Dabelko said a non-legitimate trend in volunteering is orphanage tourism. Many people from Western cultures want to volunteer at orphanages, but a lot of the children are not actually orphans. The children are being exploited because many tourists want to hug and take pictures with orphans while on vacation.
It’s important that volunteer organizations not only to not take jobs away from locals, but also spend their money in the towns they stay in to help the local economies thrive.
GIVE tries to gauge the amount of volunteers needed for a project at a given time so they don’t waste resources at the location. Also, GIVE plans a trip down to figuring out where volunteers will throw out their trash as to not affect the ecosystem.
Jessica Clutchey, the president of GIVE, said the most important aspect of keeping up the morals of the organization is recruiting the right people to go on their trips.
Ask a company the following questions to help determine legitimacy:
What are their sustainability initiatives?
What projects are they currently working on?
How do they go about picking destinations?
Will you be collaborating with locals on projects?
What is the training involved? Are there any prior skills needed?
What are the living and eating accommodations?
Where is your money for the trip going for?
 Most students, however, realize while on the trips that other people have their own ways to work around a lack of resources.
“If it’s done right you learn to go in to ask questions, listen and observe,” Meyer, assistant professor of nursing and former assistant professor of global health, said. “You’re going to learn more from them than they’re ever going to learn from you.”
Having an ethnocentric attitude when volunteering abroad is counterintuitive, Meyer said, because American volunteers are often wrong about what they think cultures need.
“There’s no way you know what communities need unless you ask them,” Meyer said.
Clutchey, a junior studying political science and marketing, emphasized that locals in a community ask for help and want to figure out sustainable ways to solve problems. Those problems are some that people who don’t live there would probably never think of.
When Clutchey went to Nicaragua with GIVE, she helped build a playground so the children would be entertained while the parents tried to learn English to get better jobs. It’s a problem many volunteers wouldn’t have thought of without consulting the locals, she said.
GIVE is transparent about voluntourism and discuss problems associated with it at their meetings.
Posting on a social media feed can affect the image of voluntourism just as easily. Students who take pictures with people from other cultures can appear offensive, further marginalizing a group as different. Posting pictures isn’t inherently bad, but it is problematic when people take photos with strangers as a prop instead of developing relationship with them first.
One big problem with voluntourism is posting pictures on social media of people from other cultures which further marginalizes groups as if they are completely different,
Meyer said it’s completely wrong for volunteers going abroad to do so just to take photos of strangers from other cultures and post them online.
“Why would someone in another country like that? It’s rude, it’s inconsiderate and it’s just not acceptable,” Meyer said. “It goes back to the fact of ‘Why are you there?’ ”
Dabelko said it is common for students to “plop” into volunteer trips, but they should take time to research the company, culture and work they will do before picking a program.
Students should also look at their skill sets before picking a volunteer trip and research whether or not the organization will help them learn the skills they will need on the trip, such as using power tools or writing lesson plans.
“You have to be ready for being out there,” Dabelko said. “But I don’t think you should hold back if you’ve done your research and found a good place to go.”
Volunteering abroad often requires both physical and social skills that are unfamiliar to students who have never been outside the U.S. Despite that, many organizations, such as GIVE or OU’s study abroad program, do not require cultural competency courses or physical training before going abroad.
GIVE does do on-site training for volunteers lead by guides and WILD, Wilderness International Leadership Development, certified volunteers.
There is a one-credit class called “Cross-Cultural Preparation for Study Abroad” students can take to learn about other cultures but it is not required for any abroad programs.
For the OU Global Health Initiative, there are some elements of training before and on site depending on the trip. Also, some take specifically medical students and faculty to work and train locals. It might be a red flag if volunteer organizations allow volunteers to provide people or animals with medical care without any prior training.
Gillian Ice, director of Global Health Initiative and a professor in social medicine, said it’s important to recognize the short-term help they are able to provide. Also, when volunteering, people should recognize they are doing good, but sometimes are taxing the resources of the town being visited.
“We try to work with partners that are on the ground so they have a continuous presence and we might be doing something to help build their capacity,” Ice said.
Despite negative aspects with organizations that might not have good intentions, Dabelko still encourages everyone to go abroad at one point in time. It helps students to think of themselves as global citizens who are representing American culture.
“We’re sort of operating in a time with a lot of xenophobia, nationalism, populism and a bit of fear from the other,” Dabelko said. “Students studying abroad, they are kind of our cultural ambassadors. Not only are they learning about the culture that they’re entering into, but they’re also representing us.”

This class is a base class for different directions of descent implemented in path-based algorithms.
Direction of descent is in the space of path flows. It is expected that only one instance of derived classes will be allocated and used. DescDirectionPathScaled is a friend class because it calls createPathDirection() on the pointer passed to it.

Are, friends, families honour Olowude at 80
by Ademola BabalolaAdemola Babalola
The Chairman, Kakanfo Inn and Conference Centre, Dr Lalekan Are, was among other dignitaries that graced the 80 years thanksgiving service and luncheon in honour of a former Deputy Director of the Africa Project Management Division, International Fund for Agricultural Development, Dr Adebisi Olowude.
Olowude clocked 80 on November 11.
Are, who chaired the occasion, described the host as a “young old man, loyal friend, upright and blessing to humanity.”
“He is a very determined achiever, very generous to a fault. One of the best agriculturists in Africa,” he added.
Are said when Olowude was in Rome, Italy, working as a Project Controller in the Africa Division of IFAD, an agency of the United Nations, he displayed exemplary performance and rose through the ranks to become a deputy director.
“He brought a lot of reforms and initiatives to help countries and individuals be the best they could be in their fields,” he said.
The host thanked Are, family, friends and associates for celebrating him on his 80th birthday.
Dignitaries who graced the occasion included Are’s wife, Bisi; host’s wife, Adefunke; Rev Lowo Mamadelo; Rev Mayowa Ojuade; Rev Julius Okanlowo; and Mrs Yemisi Olateru-Olagbegi (née Olowude).

In this lesson I'll show you how to install Bootstrap.


I've recently completed a series of experiments with the TFMPP/BZP combination, which has gained notoriety in certain Internet drug communities lately as a cheap and legal alternative to MDMA.
Having never done MDMA, I cannot myself accurately gauge how like or unlike to MDMA it truly is; however, in discussions with a close friend of mine who -has- done MDMA, he indicated that the feelings and emotions I described were much like that well-loved drug.
Over the course of these experiments, I discovered several things one should take stock of if planning to try this combination.
1) Redosing is a mistake. Period. It is a great temptation as one is coming down and pining for the euphoria of hours past, but it simply does not work.
I've made the mistake of redosing a handful of times, and my experiences were sufficient to dissuade me from trying again. The first time rendered me violently ill, and I was left to spend the remainder of the otherwise-gorgeous day crouched before the toilet.
The second time, the euphoric effects of TFMPP fled me entirely, and I was left languishing alone in the speedy realm of BZP for hours at a time. Normally fun, but not what I was looking for at the time.
2) Take the drugs on a full stomach. I mean it. It will drastically reduce the somatic distress that will surely result from 100-200mg (or more) of raw chemical hitting your stomach.
In addition, your will and ability to consume food are reduced by these psychoactive piperazines, and you will want to dance or jump or go for a walk while you're on them. Having energy to go on will diminish the next day's hangover.
3) I tried dosages of BZP and TFMPP ranging from 50-100mg each. (At dosages lower than 50mg, I conjecture the side effects will be stronger than the desired effects.) 100mg BZP to 50mg TFMPP (keeping the 2:1 ratio some of you might remember from the literature) was my favorite, but 50mg BZP to 50mg TFMPP provided a delightful light roll.
My advice is this: Don't let the total combined weight exceed your maximum tolerable BZP dose. For example, if 200mg of BZP is uncomfortable for you, don't try to mix 100mg BZP with 100mg TFMPP. BZP doses are much easier to determine, so finding your upper limit on BZP alone is a good first step.
Also, do not let your TFMPP exceed your BZP. I can propose no mechanism to explain it, but every time I did so, I became ill. TFMPP without BZP does nothing of note. Don't waste your drug.
I have a hunch that piperazine doses are at least somewhat weight-dependant. When doing BZP alone, my friend prefers 200mg each time. I can barely handle such a dose, far preferring 100mg. Don't rely on your friend Bob or Internet experience reports for dosages. As with other drugs, start low and work your way up.
4) If you're working from pure powder, as most probably will be, pack your capsules properly. This means: Get a milligram scale. Eyeballing is not acceptable. (There -are- cheap scales available that are good to 2mg, which is close enough for these purposes.)
It's a good idea to prepare caps in advance of the planned dose. Weighing out powder and carefully pouring it into caps is a stressful experience, and the smell of the powder is likely to add to any somatic distress you might feel.
5) Side effects of TFMPP/BZP include somatic distress, loss of appetite, dry mouth, frequent urination, increased sweating, body temperature fluctuations, and increased pulse.
The dry mouth poses the biggest danger to the majority of piperazine users. As the piperazine experience wears on, frequent urination will set in as your body tries to dispose of all the excess liquid you dump in to offset the dry mouth. If this situation continues unabated, it can lead to hyponatremia, the condition that has already been noted to have claimed the lives of several MDMA users.
The solution to this problem is to keep the sodium concentration of the blood at an acceptable level by drinking isotonic beverages (like Gatorade) or merely by consuming table salt with your water.
6) As with MDMA, preloading with 5-HTP is a good idea. It will prevent the effects of the TFMPP from tapering off prematurely. In addition, popping a single 5-HTP capsule regularly during the trip will help to boost said effects. Finally, taking two before bed will help you get to sleep, and take some edge of the dreaded hangover.
7) Yes, you -will- have some hangover. If you do everything right, it will be nothing more than a slight headache; but dosing too high, redosing, drinking too much water, or going for days without food is guaranteed to leave you unable to crawl out of bed for a couple days.

Jenkins, big finish lead Grand Canyon over Montana St. 69-56
PHOENIX (AP) - Lorenzo Jenkins had a career-high 20 points and Grand Canyon finished on a 21-2 run to defeat Montana State 69-56 on Tuesday night.
Montana State led 54-48 with 6:50 remaining in the second half. The Bobcats then missed six of their last seven shots and had four turnovers while the Lopes were making 10 of 10 free throws and hitting a couple of 3-pointers.
Carlos Johnson had 16 points for Grand Canyon (2-3). Alessandro Lever added 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Jovan Blacksher had seven points and 10 assists for the home team.
Jubrile Belo had 17 points and three blocks for the Bobcats (4-2), whose four-game win streak was broken. Harald Frey added 14 points and seven rebounds.
Grand Canyon plays Valparaiso in the Paradise Jam on Friday. Montana State takes on Colorado Christian at home next Tuesday.

Christ is central to my life. The way I think about issues and the decisions I make are heavily influenced by the teachings in the Bible. I desire for my life to bring all the glory to God.
I graduated May 2014 from Liberty University with a major in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics.
I was married June 7, 2014 to an amazing man, Josh. We met our first semester freshman year and started dating near the end of our sophomore year in college.
Since Josh's job keeps us moving I started freelancing instead of trying to find a new job every six months! I enjoy the challenge that freelancing gives and freedom to choose the kind of projects I wish to be working on.
I grew up in Virginia. I was homeschooled my entire life, which I think contributed to my love of travel. Since my family and I were not tied down to a school schedule we were able to travel more frequently than most of my friends growing up. Over the years I just got accustomed to seeing new things on a fairly regular basis. Thankfully, Josh is good about traveling with me.
While I still do not own my own horse (yet!), I try to ride as often as possible.

Chlorine gas is toxic, it was even used in the First World War as a weapon. If it leaks from a factory it is dangerous and may kill many people.
Test for chlorine (Edexcel): Damp blue litmus paper first turns red (i.e. as with other acids), and then white as it is bleached by chlorine gas.
Chlorine and health (OCR): Chlorinating drinking water kills microorganisms that cause fatal diseases such as typhoid and cholera.
However, some scientists believe chlorine in water may react with organic matter to form chemicals that may be linked to cancer: but evidence for this is disputed.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the use of electric current to decompose compounds.
For example, electrolysis decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen. This process can used to produce breathable O2 from sea water (e.g. for use in submarines) and in emergency oxygen masks.
Chlorine can be produced by electrolysis of hydrochloric acid, and also by electrolysis of sea water.
Electrolysis of brine (OCR): brine is a solution of salt in water. (Sea water is therefore similar to brine.) The reactants in the electrolysis of brine are NaCl and H2O; the products are Cl2, NaOH and H2.
These products are important to everyday life: for example, sodium hydroxide is used to manufacture paper, textiles and soaps; hydrogen can be used as a ‘clean fuel’.
These products can also be combined to make other useful products: hydrogen and chlorine make hydrogen chloride gas, which in solution is hydrochloric acid; chlorine and sodium hydroxide make bleach.
The electrolysis of brine is carried out on an industrial scale, which may have some negative consequences: huge amounts of non-renewable energy may be used for the process; until recently the technique used to separate Cl2 and NaOH in the process involved mercury, a toxic substance.
Salt (OCR)
Common salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) is a source of chlorine, is used to preserve meat and fish, and is often used to add flavour to food.
It is also used to de-ice roads in the winter: salty water has a lower freezing point than normal water.
It can be extracted from the sea in hot climates by evaporation, and from underground salt deposits by mining with large machines.
Solution salt mining: this involves pumping water down into salty rock; the salt dissolves into brine. At the surface the brine is evaporated – the salt crystallises and can be separated further by filtering and centrifuging.
Subsidence of surface buildings: a negative effect of solution salt mining, caused by the large underground holes left behind by the mines.
Salt is essential to a healthy diet: small traces of it are found in many foods, e.g. cereals, cheese, bread, meat and fish. These foods usually provide us with all the salt we need.
But we also tend to add salt for flavour in cooking and at the table. The average UK person consumes about double the salt they need.
The Department of Health believes excess salt increases blood pressure, increasing the risk of stroke or heart disease. It recommends lowering salt intake. Food labels can help us regulate how much salt we eat.
Chemicals and health (OCR)
Some chemicals have been found to be harmful to humans even in small doses. They include pesticides like DDT, now banned because it is a persistent organic pollutant (POP).
POPs do not break down easily; they also tend to accumulate in animal fat and are therefore passed to humans in their food chain; they also travel over long distances in air and water.
Recent legal developments include the testing of new chemicals for human safety. But so many thousands of chemicals are created synthetically across the world, it is almost impossible to test them all.
PVC – benefits and risks: polyvinyl chloride is a useful plastic polymer; it is made of long chains of carbon, hydrogen and chlorine atoms.
PVC is a widely-used synthetic chemical product (in clothes, pipes, window frames). It can be easily shaped via heat into both flexible and rigid forms, it is cheap to produce, and it retains its shape once set.
But synthetic products tend to present risks as well as benefits. PVC is often combined with plasticisers, which help it to be flexible for use in products like hospital tubing or toys.
Plasticisers may leach out of PVC products into saliva or blood. Children may chew on toys containing plasticisers; small amounts of plasticisers may mix with liquids intravenously fed to hospital patients.
There is mixed evidence as to the effects of plasticisers on humans. They have been shown to harm the reproductive systems of animals, but conclusive proof of their effect on humans has not been found.
Life Cycle Assessment (OCR)
Raw materials, energy and water are used to make the physical products of everyday life. LCA helps us understand how quickly we are using up non-renewable natural resources.
LCA is sometimes called a ‘cradle to grave’ analysis. If materials arrive at the ‘grave’ and are not recycled or biodegradable, we may not be using the Earth’s non-renewable resources as efficiently as we could:
Energy is used throughout the life cycle of a product: for making it, for using and maintaining it, and for disposing of it, whether in a landfill site or by recycling it.
Plastics are difficult to recycle; materials like glass can be reused quite easily. But if plastics are used well and for a long time (e.g. energy-efficient PVC windows) their life cycle is more positive than we might think.
