Welcome to The Pride!
Get Ready To Play The Best Of Reading Games!
Summer break is just around the corner, and we know parents with young children are looking for the perfect balance between keeping your little ones entertained with reading games in their off-time and wanting them to stay stimulated by educational activities. Starting at a young age, we strive to teach children how to be lifelong learners. When we make learning fun for children, they will discover that education can feel more like a game and less like an obligation. And what child does not love to play reading games? We have crafted a new approach to improving literacy for kids, one that will not only help them gain the confidence and knowledge to get a head start when they start their next year in school, one that makes learning to read easy, fun, and entertaining through reading games!
Cindy, Co-Founder of Take Pride Learning®, a 21st Century company, dedicated to changing the world for the better through education, believes we have to start at the beginning with early childhood education because when kids learn the basics from the start, they grow up to be more successful in school and in life and what better way to do so then through reading games!
We assembled an all-star team of educators, digital media specialists, animators, artists, programmers and musicians to reinvent early education. They use the 5 essential elements of reading from findings in the National Reading Panel’s 2000 Report and common core standards as the touchstones for iKnow Animals, Letters & Sounds. The Take Pride Learning® methodology uses a cinematic approach to teaching and learning. When you teach a child a fact – he will remember it, and when you show a child an example – she can describe it, but when you tell young kids a story that they can relate to on an emotional level, it becomes part of who they are, it shapes who they become, and stays with them for life.
The iKnowABC Reading Game Legend
The unforgettable story, “The Legend,” told in rhyme, provides a purpose for learning in the iKnow eBook Series and throughout all of the iKnow products. The story captivates the hearts and minds of young kids while they use technology & music to learn phonics, phonemic awareness, science concepts including environmental awareness, global citizenship, character education and that there is great value and honor in always doing their best.
Over these past twenty years, iKnowABC has been teaching children all around the world and bringing in new styles of teaching and learning that make reading games easy, fun, and entertaining for children. Over decades we have learned a thing or two about the learning styles of children across the nation and how to successfully create a curriculum tailored to their needs. It was evident that children love to learn through creativity and purpose, and now is the perfect time to combine those two factors to get your child to fall in love with reading games. At Take Pride Learning, we took the accessibility and ease of technology, and combined it with tried and true exploratory and experiential learning.
The importance of using reading games to teach children their ABC’s
The alphabet is simply a collection of letters and sounds. Most of us cannot even remember a time when we did not know our letters so it sounds almost absurd to worry about how to teach them to our children. Yet, the ABC’s are the building blocks of language. In order to become literate, our children must be able to recognize each letter, both in order and out of order, as well as the sounds connected with that letter. Once armed with that knowledge, then a child is well on the road to reading and literacy.
Learning the alphabet should begin early in a child’s life. While some children do not learn their letters until they start school this is not recommended. In fact, children should be well on their way to alphabet mastery before preschool age and should certainly be at least introduced to the letters before the age of 3.
As a parent, you are your child’s first and best teacher, and we give you all the tools you need to help your child on their journey to literacy. Our program allows parents to get involved and hands on with their little ones. We want to help you feel prepared to jump in! Parents and adults, ask your child if he/she wants to help the animals! Make it a big deal so it’s an adventure to do together! Explain to your child that there are secrets to uncover, and the animals need to choose young boys and girls who they can trust and know that will help them find and activate all of the secret letters. Learning at this age should be about play, exploration and discovery.
The reason why iKnowABC works
The Legend of the SunMoona Pride, the story told in rhyme that carries kids through the whole curriculum, provides the purpose and motivation for learning because children like to help and they love animals. Our modern method uses a more cinematic approach to education and embodies the notion that when you teach a child a fact – he may remember it, and when you show a child an example – she can describe it, but when you tell young children a captivating story, set to music, the story and songs become a part of who they are, shape who they become, and stay with them for life.
iKnowABC puts the power of learning to read in your child’s hands. Children want to play and learn with iKnowABC. In fact, they ask for iKnowABC by name, time and time again! Learning is easy and comes naturally so your child’s confidence grows quickly. Our story-driven, blended approach engages children using limited screen-time and project-based learning activities for maximum results through reading games.
Join the animals on a worldwide quest in search of secret letters. Learning is fun and exciting with our “Gamified” online and offline program. Imagine what using the iKnowABC Adventure will mean to your child’s success. Everything you need to teach your child is at your fingertips. Check us out at https://www.iknowabc.com/members/welcome/

pairing: Ishida Yuuya/Fujii Minami
disclaimer: FujiTV owns more than I could possibly ever hope to. Though they gave me Ishida Yuuya to play with and I'm happy with that. ^_-
summary: Post-drama. What does that happiness she gave him look like, ten years later?
author's note: I've had this in the back of my mind for quite some time now, but I couldn't write it until just recently. For winterspel who loves Yuuya like no one else and kitsune714 to convince her to watch more of Sapuri. *giggle* Love for anamuan beta-reading this at three in the morning when I called her and asked her to. *laughs*
Climbing up the cement stairs, he emerged from the hot, clammy subway station only to be hit full-force by the humidity of Tokyo in July. The near empty streets were wet with a fresh downpour of rain that probably ended just minutes before—luckily for him, as he forgot his umbrella on the train again. Oh well, it was only a hundred yen anyway.
As he began the short walk from the station to his apartment, he tugged on the knot of his light blue tie and let out a tired sigh. His dress shirt clung fiercely to him beneath his navy blue jacket as another layer of sweat broke across his skin. Juggling his briefcase from one hand to the other, he shrugged out of his jacket and carried it on his arm, hoping that removing it might make him feel cooler. It helped a little, but the heat was still oppressing, even as it closed in on midnight.
Tonight had been a business dinner with Hello Communications. After losing that contract with them all those years back, finally Creative had been able land a new advertising contract with them for their newest line of cell phones. Of course, if it had not been for his brilliant presentation and CM pitch, the dinner would not even have been a possibility. Dinner had just been the formal icing on the cake, allowing all the players from both companies to get to know each other before they got to the grind and the real work started.
For the most part, he did not mind dinners. In fact, he rather liked them. It gave him a chance to get to know the client better and to ensure that the client's wishes were accurately portrayed in the final product. Of course, any time he could enjoy a nice dinner on the pay of Creative, it certainly did not hurt. He did not like to miss worthwhile opportunities.
However, tonight, he minded.
He stretched an arm absently above his head and let it drop down to run through his hair, combing his bangs away from his forehead. "Just a little more," he murmured to himself, biting back a yawn as he turned onto the well-lit walkway that led to the lobby of his apartment building.
The clear glass doors of the bright lobby slid open and he stepped inside, the heels of his shoes echoing against the marble flooring. With an ease born of habit, he approached the wall of mailboxes and quickly peeked inside the one labeled "Ishida," despite knowing that he would not find anything there for him at this hour. Continuing through the lobby, he bowed ever so slightly at the night guard and gave him a courteous, "konbanwa," before hitting the button for the elevator. The wait was short and soon enough, he was inside, riding the empty elevator to the twentieth floor.
A mere minute later, the bell chimed and the elevator doors parted, allowing him to step into the hallway of brass-knobbed doors. It was not the top floor of the building—that was the twenty-fifth floor— but it was still quite nice. There were days when he could not even fathom how he had gotten around to living in a place like this. It seemed like it was just yesterday that he was getting shoved violently off Imaoka's couch and being forced to sleep on the hard floor.
Stopping at a door with the numbers "2046" prominently displayed above the peephole, he fished into the pocket of his pants to pull out his keys and inserted the correct one into the lock. Quietly, he opened the door and shuffled inside, shutting the door with a gentle, locking click. He sighed in relief. Air-conditioning was his savior.
The dim light from the living room was enough to see by, so he decided not to flip the hallway light on. As he changed out of his shoes and into his home slippers, he noted the disarray of the shoes in the doorway with a tired smile. Setting his briefcase and jacket aside, he took a short moment and arranged all the shoes so that they were facing the door, ready to be slipped on the next time anyone should want to go out.
Picking up his things, he walked the short distance into the living room, navigating past a few books and toys carelessly left lying about. Upon entering the spacious room, he tossed his jacket and briefcase onto a nearby chair and made his way over to the coffee table.
There his wife lay—her head resting on her folded arms, fast asleep with a myriad of papers, notepads, and pictures scattered about her. Her cute, thick-rimmed glasses pressed against her face awkwardly, having been left on in their owner's exhaustion while her hair was pulled up in a high ponytail by a plastic blue Doraemon band. She was wearing one of his older shirts—his bright yellow and green Madonna jersey—with black yoga pants and he could tell that she had been dressed for comfort so that she could get some serious work done. Obviously, she had been stopped in her tracks by sleep.
He knelt down next to her and tried to carefully remove her glasses without waking her, but she had always been a light sleeper and stirred the moment he gently tugged on them. Her sleepy eyes slowly blinked a few times before she finally focused on his face and mumbled drowsily, "Yuuya?"
Yuuya smiled softly. How long had it taken her to get used to calling him that? Yet, when she was angry enough with him, she would still revert to calling him Ishida, even though she now too was Ishida. "You forgot to take off your glasses."
"Did I?" Rather absent-mindedly, she touched her face with her open hands, trying to confirm his words. Yuuya chuckled at her half-awake antics. "I was trying to finish off these reports for the next orientation, and the next thing I knew..."
"You were asleep?"
"I was asleep." Noticing the mess before her, she set about to cleaning up the coffee table. "How did the dinner go? Is Hello Communications totally onboard?"
Ishida sat down next to her and helped her put together all her paperwork. "I certainly hope so. Their project leader seems to be pretty enthusiastic about making the best CM ever; she's kind of cute in a childish way."
"Cute?" Her eyebrow twitched just a little.
Yuuya laughed. "She's just fresh-faced, Minami. I think this is the first project she's heading."
Minami blushed and Yuuya was sure she was quietly mortified by her misunderstanding. He enjoyed how even at her age, even when they had been married for nearly five years, even when-
Yuuya glanced past Minami at the love seat to her left, where curled up in a light blanket, hugging a huge stuffed Doraemon was a little girl who was the spitting image of Minami, save for her eyes which were more like Yuuya's. "Monkey!" He exclaimed, jumping up from the floor and joining her in the love seat. "Did I wake you?"
She blinked her eyes blearily and shook her head, though it was clear that he had. "I was waiting for you," she stated confidently.
He smiled, brushing her hair away from her face and tucking it behind her ear. "You didn't have to, Monkey," he told her sweetly.
"But I wanted to," she insisted with a big yawn.
Yuuya exchanged a knowing glance with Minami and they both grinned. "Well, I'm home now," he reassured. "So, do you want me to tuck you in?"
She gave a big nod, and though still sleepy, proved herself worthy of her nickname and jumped onto her father's back, hooking her arms around his neck. "You hold Doraemon," she directed, and Yuuya made sure to grab Doraemon before piggybacking his daughter to her bedroom.
For all her big talk, as soon as the little girl's head had hit her pillow, she was out like a light. Yuuya tucked the bedcovers up to her chin, making sure that Doraemon was sleeping beside her so that she did not wake up in the morning alone. He took her in peaceful, precious features for long moment before eventually rising from his perch on her bed and turning off her bedside lamp.
As he headed out of the small bedroom toward the door, he noticed Minami peeking in from the doorway, a quiet smile on her lips. "What are you smiling at?" he teased with a playful glint in his eyes.
"You," she answered honestly, not at all playing into his game. "Just you."
Yuuya never failed to be taken in by her simple honesty. Though there was once a time when she was not so confident in herself, the fact that she could now be so clear and definite and true with just one simple word moved him. "Just me?" he whispered back when he was close enough, quickly closing the distance between them with a tender kiss.
"Just you," Minami breathed back after, her forehead resting in the crook of his neck as they gently embraced in the dim hallway.
"juunengo no shiawase."

First Read is a morning briefing from Meet the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter
Flynn's departure raises more questions than it answers
The bombshell news from last night, which marked President Trump’s 25th day in office: “Michael Flynn abruptly quit as President Donald Trump's national security adviser Monday night, hours after it emerged that the Justice Department informed the White House that it believed he could be subject to blackmail,” per NBC News. “The resignation also came after previous disclosures that Flynn had misled Vice President Mike Pence and other senior officials about his communications with Sergey Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States. Pence repeated the misinformation in television appearances.” NBC’s Andrea Mitchell has more: “A senior official tells NBC News the president and top advisers have been "agonizing" over what to do about Flynn for days. The official, who was involved in the discussions, says the situation became unsustainable -- not because of any issue of being compromised by Russia — but because he had lied to the president and the vice president.” All of this news raises more questions than answers.
- When exactly did Team Trump first learn that Flynn misled them about the nature of his conversations with Russia’s government?
The Washington Post says it was last month. “The acting attorney general informed the Trump White House late last month that she believed Michael Flynn had misled senior administration officials about the nature of his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States, and warned that the national security adviser was potentially vulnerable to Russian blackmail, current and former U.S. officials said.”
- Did anyone else on Trump's team discuss sanctions on Russia? And did Trump authorize Flynn's discussions with Russia's ambassador?
Remember, the day after the Obama administration slapped extra sanctions on Russia’s government for interfering in the 2016 election, Trump praised Russia’s delay in responding to them. “Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!” he tweeted.
- What does this say about the president’s judgment?
Flynn — who we now have learned was potentially vulnerable to Russian blackmail — was Trump’s pick to be this country’s national security adviser. And this story wasn’t the first strike against him and his management of the National Security Council. “Three weeks into the Trump administration, council staff members get up in the morning, read President Trump’s Twitter posts and struggle to make policy to fit them. Most are kept in the dark about what Mr. Trump tells foreign leaders in his phone calls,” the New York Times wrote over the weekend.
- How much credibility does this administration have left?
At 4:00 pm ET yesterday, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki that the president had full confidence in Flynn, yet he resigned just hours later. (When NBC’s Matt Lauer asked Conway on “Today” this morning if she was out of the loop, she replied that Trump “is a very loyal person,” and that Flynn himself made the decision to resign.) On Friday, Trump denied that he had read the Washington Post’s scoop that Flynn had indeed discussed sanctions with Russia’s ambassador. “I don't know about it. I haven't seen it. What report is that?” (Does anyone believe that now?) And despite the administration’s previous denials that Flynn discussed sanctions with the Russians, we now know Team Trump was notified A MONTH AGO that Flynn was possibly misleading them.
- A question for every member of Congress: Are you going to support a full investigation into arguably the biggest scandal involving a foreign government since Iran-Contra?
Considering everything we now know about this story — an incoming administration was having conversations with a foreign adversary, and not telling the truth about them — you have to go back 30 years to Iran-Contra to think of a comparable scandal. And folks, we’re today on Day 26 of the Trump administration. Here’s the question that should be posed to every lawmaker, Republican or Democrat: Are you going to support a full investigation into arguably the biggest political scandal involving a foreign government since Iran-Contra?
Trump Cabinet Watch

Meningeal worm update (Proceedings)
Meningeal worm or brain worm infection in camelids, elk, moose, and sheep and goats is caused by the roundworm parasite, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis.
Meningeal worm or brain worm infection in camelids, elk, moose, and sheep and goats is caused by the roundworm parasite, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis. Meningeal worm infection is one of the most common causes of neurological illness and death in camelids and treatment of chronic cases are often difficult and expensive. Infected animals present with a head tilt, arching of the neck, incoordination, difficulty getting up, and/or gradual weight loss. The parasite causes disease by migration of the worm through the brain or spinal cord of affected animals leading to internal trauma and inflammation. Currently, no live animal test is available and post-mortem testing is performed by microscopic examination of brain sections for evidence of the worm migration pathways. Aberrant migration of meningeal worm larvae through the neuropil and spinal cord of camelids, especially alpacas and llamas, causes severe clinical neurological disorders. Camelids are exposed to the intermediate larval stages of P. tenuis via the accidental ingestion of infected terrestrial slugs and snails. Many other domesticated species have also been proven to be susceptible to P. tenuis infection including sheep, horses, cattle, and bison. Infected animals present with a head tilt, arching of the neck, incoordination, difficulty getting up, and/or gradual weight loss. Treatment for camelids and ungulates with moderate to severe clinical disease is often expensive, but unrewarding, despite use of numerous anthelmintics and supportive. Parelaphostrongylus tenuis infection also has a huge impact on wildlife conservation.
The natural host of the metastrongylid parasite is the white-tailed deer, Odocoileus viginianus, which are unapparent carriers of the parasite. However, in other species of ungulates, like those listed above, the response to infection is quite different. The larvae emerge from accidentally ingested slugs and snails, and penetrate the host's gastrointestinal track. From there, they migrate to and develop within the spinal cord for up to 1 month. The migrating P. tenuis larvae cause extensive central nervous system (CNS) damage and disabling neurologic disease. Lesions caused by P. tenuis migration are often difficult to identify, due to the fact that their histologic appearance varies so greatly. Currently, there is no commercially available antemortem test to confirm Parelaphostrongylus spp. infection in any species. Suspect cases of P. tenuis is often made in camelids following detection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) eosinophilic inflammation, combined with the clinical signs of head tilt, arching of the neck, incoordination, difficulty getting up, and/or gradual weight loss. A nested PCR can be used to detect P. tenuis from formalin fixed tissue which was successfully used for detection of Parelaphostrongylus spp. DNA in a Sika deer, horse, cattle, and guinea pig.
Prevention of parasite infection include minimizing deer populations through hunting, high fences to exclude deer, the use of livestock guardian dogs, and use of rock lined area on the outside of the fence. The use of molluscicides on the outer fence rocks can impede the entry of infected gastropods into pastures and minimize infection of P. tenuis into camelids and other animals. The use of injectable ivermectin has been used to prevent infection in P. tenuis infection; however, unintentional side effects could be selection of ivermectin-resistant Haemonchus contortus and other gastrointestinal nematodes.

Damascus suburb bombed as observer mission approved
The Syrian army bombed Sunday several areas in Duma, a suburb of Damascus, Syrian activists reported.
According to the Local Coordination Committees (LCC), a network of activists, explosions rocked Duma early Sunday morning when the troops were conducting raids in several areas of the suburb. Duma witnessed clashes between security forces and rebels before the commencement of the truce on April 12.
An opposition activist based in Duma, Mohammed Saeed, said that tanks were shelling neighborhoods. According to the activist, two people were killed.
This occurred hours after the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing 300 observers to be sent to Syria to monitor the cease-fire implemented 10 days ago, which has since been seriously violated by the death of over 200 people. The 300 unarmed military observers should be deployed "quickly" and "for an initial period of 90 days," read the Council's statement.
Immediately after the vote, UN chief Ban Ki-Moon called on Damascus to "quickly create the necessary conditions for the deployment of the mission." French Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, called for the observers to be "deployed rapidly and without hindrance", while threatening Damascus to use "all options" if it does not respect its commitments.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said that "the time of tricks and little tactical games is over."
U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, told AFP that Mr. Ban had to be careful about the conditions for sending the observers to Syria. "Our patience is running out. Nobody should say that the U.S. will agree to renew this mission at the end of the 90 days," Rice told the Council.
French Ambassador Gérard Araud supported Washington on this issue, stating, there should not be "an automatic renewal", but only "if we think it would be useful."
Russian envoy Vitaly Churkin described Rice's statement as "unhelpful."
The Free Syrian Army, which includes military dissidents, hailed the vote at the Security Council and Colonel Kassem Saadeddine, its spokesman, said that FSA was "committed to the cease- fire."

So sorry to have been gone so long, but my brain has just been completely fried this pregnancy. I wasn't able to finish the portraits for the giveaway and I have been struggling the few times I have attempted writing something.
But I did a little something today! With the impending arrival of our second child, I've found myself needing to return to the images of the arrival of our first child. I started playing around with some images from that time and thought I'd share what I came up with.
I miss film, and the soft nostalgia that film grain imparts. Although I'm kind of against 'faking' things like film looks and film grain, I still do go there at times. And I've been forever dissatisfied with options that Photoshop Elements offers for adding grain. So I looked online and found a random grainy photo to model my grain after. And after much playing and tweaking, I turned this photo my husband took of me holding my son at 2 days old...
I'm pretty pleased with it. It's not perfect, and this experiment makes me want to just return to film to get the real beauty back. Ahhh... film is just so beautiful. But still, I kind of like what I achieved here.
[EDIT] I'm a little frustrated with the sharpening that I think Flickr did here. It's softer in the version I made. Looks better if you click through and view it larger.

Composite insulating materials are at least an order of magnitude more diverse and perhaps as much more complex in their behavior than simple one-component materials. This makes the preparation of a one-chapter summary of their electrical properties perhaps more difficult but, on second thought, somewhat simpler. This seeming contradiction can be explained as follows: the number of combinations of individual materials that have actually been used in composite insulation, and are not just possible to use, is so vast as to defy the compilation of their properties. Therefore, after considerable pondering of the task, the author has avoided that approach and is concentrating in this chapter on presenting an analytic discussion of the factors influencing the dielectric properties of composites and their performance as electrical insulation. The chapter will also include a summary discussion of the various types of composites, with representative data on their properties and characteristic behavior. We shall not delve into the molecular structure of the individual materials comprising the composites, as that aspect has already been extensively treated in Chapters 1, 2, and 6 of this volume. The testing methods that are uniquely appropriate to these materials and systems will be indicated.

It's work up front but great customer service for those of us who need to get the work done. For example, in either installation (vertical or horizontal) provide the positioning measurements on the door and cabinet from the apex of the door pivot depending on other factors (i.e. depth of cabinet, desired range of door movement such as 90° or 110°, etc.). Otherwise, the product made for very elegant look and useful in protecting adjacent items from a flung open cabinet door. Thank you!!

Inventor of the telephone, the metal detector, and contributor of priceless knowledge to the field of acoustics, Alexander Graham Bell was also quite interested in the future of flight. However, he didn’t think that the future of flight would come through the airplane, rather he thought the future of flight would be focused on tetrahedral kites.
Learn more by continuing to read or by watching the video below!
In his research, Bell had become obsessed with the idea of creating a kite large enough to carry a man. He actually created the box kite design in this quest to create the ultimate kite. This particular design joined several triangular kites together with a frame to create a box. Doing so increased the kites surface area with little increase in weight – a good measure of improved flight capability.
Upon this innovation, Bell joined several box-like kites together to create larger pyramidal kites that are known as tetrahedral kites. It’s one of nature’s most stable structures, so why wouldn’t it also lead to the future of human flight…right?
While Bell’s prediction for the future of flight might have been a little misguided looking back, at the time when aeronautical innovation didn’t have set bounds, he was on the cutting edge.
Although his kites were quite large, they were easy to fly, meaning improved stability. It’s this stability that was at the core of why Bell believed kites to be the future. He had seen the Wright brothers plane and its instability as a massive issue that would falter that design path, or so he thought.
In 1907, Bell established the Aerial Experimental Association (AEA) which was focused on creating a practical powered plane. That same year they went on to build the largest tetrahedral kite.
This massive construction was named “Cygnet” (meaning little swan in French) and it was made up of nearly 3,400 individual cells. It stood at 40 feet long and weighed in at 200 pounds. That weight number becomes impressive when you consider that the Wright’s first craft to carry a human was 604 pounds. The tetrahedral kite carried a human 168 feet above water while being towed behind a ship. After this illustrious flight, it crashed and ripped into pieces. The man who was aboard, Thomas Etholen Selfridge, actually survived the flight but later became the first person to die in an airplane crash aboard the Wright Military Flyer in 1908.
Bell’s colleagues at the AEA eventually moved on into researching more conventional craft and designed several series of airplanes. The AEA made a plane called the “June Bug” which sustained a 5,360 feet flight in under two minutes under the control of pilot Glenn Curtiss. By the end of 1908, the AEA flew over 150 flights without issue.
This organization founded on aeronautics research was completely funded by Bell’s wife. Eventually, the funds ran out and the association had to disband. Before that happened, however, Bell did make innovations in the realm of airplanes. One of his most famous is that of the aileron, which is not standard in all aircraft.
Drawing back to Bell’s obsession with tetrahedral kites, after Cygnet crashed, he created two more with the creative names of Cygnet II & Cygnet III. The third model was coupled with a 70 HP motor, but it only flew one foot. The Cygnet series proved to be a failure of engineering. Alexander Graham Bell abandoned his tetrahedral kite experiments finally in 1912.
While it may seem absurd that one of the world’s greatest minds thought such a seemingly crazy idea was the future, that’s all part of the engineering and design process. Failure is crucial in determining what path leads to success.

Correspondence journalism in matchboxes and shampoo bottles
Review by Alice Olsson
On the 28th June 2011 Swedish journalist Martin Schibbye and photographer Johan Persson cross the border between Somalia and Ethiopia. Five days later they lie shot and bleeding in the sand. They are on a mission to research human rights violations in the closed Ogaden region, looking into the involvement of international oil companies such as Swedish Lundin Oil, when they are captured. Over three months later they are charged with illegally entering the country as well as supporting and participating in a terrorist organisation. In December 2011 they’re sentenced to 11 years in the Kality prison in Addis Ababa.
Kality has been referred to as “the Robben Island of Ethiopia” and holds more than 10,000 prisoners, many of them prisoners of conscience. Martin Schibbye describes the chaos as well as the inner struggle they face as they step into the prison for the first time: “I stand and waver on the thin threshold of the Kality prison’s innermost. And step in.
“Bodies. Bodies everywhere. Stretched, crouched, newly awakened, asleep, tensed, drugged, rigid, snorting, slumping, half naked, angry, scared, resolute, proud…” An inmate says: “You shouldn’t have let them take you alive. It’s better to die like a lion than to rot away in here.”
Schibbye and Persson narrate the book alternatingly, telling their story of 438 Days in prison for the words they didn’t have a chance to write. It becomes 438 days of struggling to stay alive and sane in the world on the other side of silent diplomacy; they are refused medical care, have to fight to for their own beds to sleep in, and a fake documentary is made to portray them as terrorists before the judges in the trial. Towards the end of their time in prison, the two manage to get books into Kality. Being able to read Orwell and Malcolm X changes everything for them. “What if one day, I’ll write a book about what I see now,” Martin writes. “The thought is overwhelming. Up until my deathbed I’ll be able to recount in exact detail what I see in front of me. With a book we’ll be able to separate the past from the present. And what if our book will one day stand on a shelf in Kality.”
Schibbye and Persson’s very personal account as prisoners of conscience reveals a world of confusion, where the justice system cannot be trusted and propaganda supplants the truth. The clash between international politics and the single fates of human lives renders them in a limbo of hopelessnes; promises of their release are continually broken, but, afraid of disturbing the workings of silent diplomacy, they endure.
The text takes the reader through the very real struggles of the victims of freedom of expression violations. Before being transferred to Kality, Schibbye and Persson met Ethiopian journalist and fellow prisoner Reeyot Alemu. Exchanging messages concealed in matchboxes and shampoo bottles, they hid their correspondence from the guards. The two Swedish journalists were pardoned in September 2012, and have since received a number of awards for their struggles, including the 2012 Anna Politkovskaya Memorial Award and Reporters Without Borders’ 2013 Press Freedom Prize. Reeyot Alemu and other journalists they met, however, still remain in prison.
Schibbye and Persson’s sentence ended after 438 Days. But many people are still serving theirs. Read more about their cases and what you can do to show your support on PEN-International.org.

Green D, Kiss IZ, Mitchell AP & Kao RR (2008) Estimates for local and movement-based transmission of bovine tuberculosis in British cattle. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 275 (1638), pp. 1001-1005. http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/275/1638/1001.abstract; https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2007.1601
Both badgers and livestock movements have been implicated in contributing to the ongoing epidemic of bovine tuberculosis (BTB) in British cattle. However, the relative contributions of these and other causes are not well quantified. We used cattle movement data to construct an individual (premises)-based model of BTB spread within Great Britain, accounting for spread due to recorded cattle movements and other causes. Outbreak data for 2004 were best explained by a model attributing 16% of herd infections directly to cattle movements, and a further 9% unexplained, potentially including spread from unrecorded movements. The best-fit model assumed low levels of cattle-to-cattle transmission. The remaining 75% of infection was attributed to local effects within specific high-risk areas. Annual and biennial testing is mandatory for herds deemed at high risk of infection, as is pre-movement testing from such herds. The herds identified as high risk in 2004 by our model are in broad agreement with those officially designated as such at that time. However, border areas at the edges of high-risk regions are different, suggesting possible areas that should be targeted to prevent further geographical spread of disease. With these areas expanding rapidly over the last decade, their close surveillance is important to both identify infected herds quickly, and limit their further growth.

The Bright Star Educational Society was chartered on February 14, 1860, to promote a nondenominational, coeducational school to be located in Hopkins County. Apparently the outbreak of the Civil War interfered with building plans, and the school did not open. A community called Bright Star existed for some time in Hopkins County, and between 1854 and 1871 a post office operated under that name. Nothing else, however, is known about the community.

I'd given the world my heart,
and chosen to live the dream, it had given me.
In this game I played apart,
until you opened my eyes and let me see.
I was living a life of emptiness,
Going wherever the world took me.
And yet even in that, the world demanded my best,
It wanted everything even my sanity.
You showed me where my life was leading.
I couldn't hide my frustration under a heap of success.
That the world cared nothing about what i was feeling
In fact, it couldn't care less.
What i find so amazing,
is how you could know me so completely,
yet your love remains so unchanging.
I marvel, that a God like you could love some one like me.

Lupus and the Brain
serious and dramatic, such as psychosis.
It is very important to remember lupus patients can suffer from ordinary tension headaches and migraine just as anyone can. Depression and other emotional changes can develop but are often a reaction to being ill, rather than being directly caused by autoantibodies.
In general terms there are two main types of brain involvement in lupus: that of generalised lupus, and that of clotting problems associated with antiphospholipid syndrome. It is vital to distinguish between these two forms of brain disease; the former requires immunosuppressive treatment, the latter anticoagulants.
Some level of neurological abnormalities present fairly commonly in patients with lupus. It is recognised that the figure is probably far higher if one includes the more ‘subtle’ forms of brain disease such as mood disturbances and agoraphobia. Some of the main brain manifestations are listed below:
HeadachesGeneral headaches are a very common feature with lupus but are rarely due to the lupus condition itself. They may be generalised and can be migraineous with flashing lights and vomiting. While they can improve when the lupus is adequately treated, in some patients the headaches prove a resistant problem to conventional lupus treatment. Lupus patients can also of course experience symptoms unrelated to their disease such as headache and migraine, which occur at a similar level as occurs in the general population. However, we always assume there could be a link until things are carefully investigated if the headaches are persistent and limiting activities. This reassurance of nonconnection between lupus and the most common ordinary headaches and migraines can be invaluable to the concerned patient.
Fits and seizuresOccasionally lupus starts in a very dramatic way with a seizure or fit – especially in teenagers, and especially where there is a high fever. In some patients the seizures are prolonged and in others they occur in isolation. In the vast majority of patients with lupus, once the disease is brought under control there is no further risk of seizures.
Memory lossThis is an important feature of the disease, should not be overlooked, and is understandably worrying to the patient. For most people it is difficult to know when memory loss is part of normal ageing, due to poor sleep or when it is abnormal. In some hospitals, formal psychometric analysis can be conducted to see if there has been serious change in memory. This is particularly important in those patients with the antiphospholipid syndrome when memory loss may be the first and major feature of very small blood clots affecting the brain. In these patients there may be dramatic improvement when treatment is started with anticoagulants.
For those who have been investigated and without red-flag signs, without a clear root cause, improving sleep and sleep patterns, increasing exercise gently sometimes with physio guidance, and improving general mood can bring significant improvement.
Change in MoodSometimes, and by getting to know your patients over time, a patient’s approach to decisions and life events can be an indicator that their SLE is more active, when observed alongside objective SLE blood tests. Depressive moods, unusual decisions, and lack of enjoyment in previous activities can all be pointers to brain changes. But these must be interpreted with objective bloods tests, such as decreasing complement (C3 &/or C4), and rising double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) to be attributable to lupus. Alongside family members, nurses in contact with patients in regular appointments and between their appointments can be the first to notice changes, so do raise these observations with appropriate colleagues when pertinent.
Movement disordersOccasionally patients can present with a movement disorder or tremor but this is uncommon. One is chorea (St. Vitus dance) and in these patients the disease is often wrongly diagnosed as rheumatic fever.
Spinal cord diseaseThis is a rare manifestation of lupus, presenting with weakness and loss of sensation, usually in both legs and without back pain or sciatica. It may be associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, and as with any significant symptom it needs careful management, especially as this can be a life-changing condition. Disturbance of bladder and/or bowel function is not common, but when present as well indicates severe disease and is a medical emergency requiring urgent admission that day for investigation to establish the cause and the best treatment.
InvestigationsIn addition to the usual blood tests to assess lupus disease activity, other tests of brain and spinal cord function may be required. The most important of these is an MRI scan which helps to distinguish clots from other causes of neurological involvement. An EEG (electroencephalography, an electrical test of brain activity) is required for suspected seizures. Where there are severe brain problems or real diagnostic difficulties a lumbar puncture may be required to exclude a secondary infection in the brain and spinal fluid or subarachnoid haemorrhage.
TreatmentIf the brain disease is thought to be due to APS then anticoagulants are used, though when these are started depends on the presentation. If the disease is thought to be part of a generalised lupus flare then an increase in steroids for a short period is generally used (e.g. to maximum of 60mg orally daily, or an intravenous pulse treatment). Doses are reduced as quickly as safely possible depending on severity of symptoms and potential long term damage. For severe cerebral lupus the addition of an immunosuppressive such as cyclophosphamide is extremely helpful and can reduce the severity and the duration of the brain disease.
Apart from those patients who have suffered multiple strokes where there may be irreversible brain disease, the prognosis of brain involvement in lupus is excellent. Even in those patients who present with a very extreme form of brain disease such as schizophrenia or seizure, total recovery can occur with treatment and a return to normal lifestyle predicted.

Osteria Langhe Ratings and Reviews

Fantastic gem in Logan Square. Great food, ambiance and service. When I asked for some slight changes to a dish they accommodated where they could and where they couldn't they explained why the chef wouldn't want to modify or if they didn't have the right other ingredients in house. Totally respect that! We'll be back!
This was truly the best meal I have had ...
This was truly the best meal I have had in quite some time. Perfect dish sizes, lovely presentation and beautiful pairing with the recommended wine. But the food itself was sensational, perfectly prepared. I had the crispy prosciutto-wrapped rabbit loin on polenta with fontina, the textures and flavors were sublime. Casual atmosphere, very relaxed and piedmontese Italian in feel as well.

We celebrated my husband's birthday here this week and, as always, it didn't disappoint. The cocktails are inventive, pastas freshly made and the portions just right without being gut busting like other Italian restaurants. Our server did a great job recommending wine and let us sample two varietals before we ordered.
The ambiance is romantic even on nights when they have a full house. Osteria Langhe draws an eclectic mix of diners--a nice departure from River North area restaurants where you're surrounded by tourists.

For a local place Osteria Lahnge is very good. The menus is varied and sophisticated. The pasta was freshly made on premises with subtle and excellent flavors. In fact one of the best I've had in Chicago. The main courses were generous but not over the top "bulk" that one sometimes gets, and again, creative and well prepared. Desert was made to order, with very tasty ingredients.
The service was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.
This is not your Grandma's red sauce restaurant. It is a welcome addition to my favorites in Chicago.

Food was well cooked and well seasoned. Menu is really unusual and exciting--frogs legs, snails, rabbit livers, foie. Risotto was a highlight. Shrimp, fish, and octopus cooked to perfection. Wine list and cocktails very good. Atmosphere was energetic if a bit crowded. Service we found to be a little slow. Definitely one of the more authentic and delicious italian places we have been to in the city.

My experience at Osteria Langhe on Oct 12 was one of the best dinners I have had in Chicago! We were a party of four. I ordered the spinach salad starter and risotto, w/shaved truffle as my entree. Outstanding! Another in our party ordered the Porchetta dish and it was full of flavor and amazingly delicious. Same for the rabbit entree at our table. Service was excellent and attentive without being overbearing. We ordered a Barolo for the table and it too was perfect. I can't wait to return!

Come ready for excellent Northern Italian dishes -- great antipasti and meats -- with less emphasis on pastas. We followed the suggestions of our waiter/host, and were very happy with our selections, including a healthy shaving of white truffles on several dishes. Great variety of vermouths as well. A lively environment, without being too noisy to have a private conversation.
I'll be back soon (and often), as an alternative to the usual west loop and Grand Ave spots before Blackhawks and Bulls games.

We went with my in laws. It was quiet and delicious. I love the wine selection. All the food is so authentic tasting. I highly recommend the pasta was bolognese, the halibut and the wheat berry salad which was not there last weekend. I missed it!

Contacted the restaurant in advance to say I was coming to celebrate anniversary. Once seated was greeted by the owner with free sparkling wine and a warm congratulations. The owner also took time to explain the entire wine list and help to select a wine to our liking. It did not disappoint. Dined on Tuesday for the price fix. A very good deal. Food was excellent. A great value with the Tuesday price fix. Had octopus and gnocchi for appetizers. Halibut and the Maiale for dinner. The Halibut was very good, a tad too salty but still very good. The Maiale was excellent. Had the cioccolata and and the semolina for dessert. The wine was also outstanding as well, we had the Caviola, "Barturot" Dolcetto.

It was amazing from start to finish! We started with an awesome drinks from bartender david and went with our waiters recs for everything! It was an A+ experience! Our waiter was so great- made great suggestions for us. -'d david brought us another fabulous drink at the end! This was a favorite meal for sure and we will be back!

Simply outstanding. The food is as authentic as you can get. I am Italian and before moving to the States I lived in the Langhe area. I think that qualifies me as a connoisseur of Piedmontese food. I was with two foodies and we had the artichoke flan (unforgettable) and the snails (refreshing and thank God not the usual Bourguignon style). My guest had the ravioli del Plin (very very good) and finally my favorite course; rabbit. It was an experience that brought me back to Piedmont with the same flavors. It is the only Italian restaurant where I would go over and over.

We did a special 3-course meal with wine pairings, which was to benefit earthquake victims. Pasta starter and panna cotta dessert, both with truffles were great. The main course pork dish with mushrooms and lentils was really salty. A lot of flavor lost to this, I don't like when chefs let this happen. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time it's happened here. The wine pairings were well-chosen.

I still have a very fine recollection of my first exposure to Ten, back when I bought their second album The Name of the Rose in 1996. Not many hard rock albums stood out that year, or metal albums for that matter, but one album I kept going back to over and over was Ten’s sophomore album, and they followed it up the equally strong The Robe in 1997.
Many fine albums followed and even though they’ve never reached the same level of the aforementioned albums they have still not released a bad album. And studio album number thirteen is no slouch either, it’s actually one of the best Ten albums ever, fairly close to The Name of the Rose and The Robe!
Mainstay in the band has always been Gary Hughes, who takes care of most of the song writing, the production as well as the lead vocals. And he has a very recognizable signature sound and style; as a solo artist, in Ten or as song writer for Bob Catley (Magnum), you’ll easily pick out his influence.
Like we are used to the whole experience is first class; another exemplary cover, first class hard rock songs, a well balanced production and skilled musicians are just some of the ingredients that make this an extremely fine hard rock release.
For Ten and hard rock fans of all ages… cool disc!

Huawei has also launched the more high-end member of the Nova series, the Huawei Nova 3.
Along with the Nova 3i, these two smartphones are the new face of the incredibly popular midrange family of Huawei. It first started when the Huawei Nova 2i exploded in the latter part of 2017 because it was priced aggressively against the competition and its value-oriented hardware.
Huawei is trying to capitalize on that popularity as they bring in a more expensive model. Previously, the Nova 2 wasn’t really a high caliber device. But with this year’s latest iteration, the company has transformed it into a mid to high-end smartphone.
The Huawei Nova 3 feels a lot like the Honor 10. It’s powered by the same HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset just like every other flagship smartphone from Huawei, plus it’s equipped with plenty of RAM and storage at 6GB and 128GB, respectively.
In addition to its good hardware inside, the cameras are pretty capable as well. There’s a 24-megapixel + 2-megapixel configuration on the front for selfie lovers and bokeh pictures, while the primary setup on the back has 24-megapixel and 16-megapixel sensors. Since it’s using a Kirin 970, it also got the enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) camera-related capabilities to work with.
Huawei Nova 3 Specs
- Android 8.1 Oreo, EMUI 8.2
- Dual SIM, Dual Standby (Nano format, Hybrid)
- 6.3-inch 19.5:9 IPS display @ 1080 x 2340 px

- 3,750mAh non-removable battery with fast charging
The Huawei Nova 3 can detect and improve up to eight different scenes and objects. As for the rear camera, it can recognize up to 22 objects and scenes. There’s also the face detection which uses AI to adjust the settings to make the beautification algorithms appropriate to the subjects face.
As an answer to Apple’s Animojis, Huawei developed their own Qmojis. This feature mimics the user’s facial expressions and translates it into fun animation of different characters.
Like most Chinese smartphones today, the Huawei Nova 3 comes with an option of either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. The storage is set at 128GB and it’s expandable in case the user needs more space. It runs on EMUI version 8.2 with Android 8.1 Oreo operating underneath.
The Huawei Nova 3 has a price tag of Php25,990 in the Philippines. It is currently on pre-order and it will be available in stores beginning the 11th of August.

THE stage is set for the much anticipated Bata Open, an annual event which takes place at Gweru Golf Club on Saturday.
Over 100 top amateur golfers from the country are expected to tee off in the 54-hole tournament that ranks as one of the best in the country.
It will run until Sunday and promises to live up to its billing.
As the build-up continues, the hosting authority, the Midlands Province Golf Union (MPGU) president, Alex Mawere said everything is on course and are expecting a large field as the tournament comes with national and world ranking points, under the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) and the Zimbabwe Golf Association (ZGA).
“Preparations are going well so far, our team is dedicated, everything is going well. “The turnout will be around 120 so we are expecting a very big field but so far, the sponsors Bata have come in with good prizes and are also happy about the tournament itself.
“It’s a serious tournament as it contributes ranking points. Everyone would want to be in the top three or top five in the country and to be selected to represent Zimbabwe in international tournaments. This tournament plays a huge role in that regard,” said Mawere.
Munashe Ndaruza, who has since turned pro, won last year’s edition of the prestigious championship. Some of the top amateur golfers who will be competing for the top honours include 16-year-old Tanaka Chatora, who has shown immense potential to be the next big thing.
Chatora is fresh from winning the 2023 Roland Park Open Golf Championship which was played at Roland Park Golf Club in Zvishavane at the beginning of the month. Some of the amateurs include Lloyd Dube and Innocent Mukumba among others.
In the past, some of the golfers to have won the Bata Open include Clive Nguru, Jack Allard and Tafara Mpofu.
Mawere is expecting a good challenge from the amateur golfers who will take to the greens across the two days.


By using Shift+LMB to click the vertices, edges, and faces buttons in the 3D window you can select these selection types all at once rather than individually.
You can use the Action Editor to control Shape Keys, rather than the IPO window or the shape key panel in the edit menu.
Blender has an button in the User Preferences tab called View Name that will add a title in the 3D window telling you what view you are in.
When in Edit Mode, you can hit the B key twice to get the brush select tool. While in Brush Select, LMB selects, ALT+LMB deselects, and the scroll wheel changes the brush size.
When saving a file by hitting the F2 key, you can then press the + or – key on the numberpad to create incremental file names.
When opening a file from a list, you can use the middle mouse button to open the file immediately rather than selecting the file then clicking Open.
When entering in an object name into a text field, you can hit the Tab key to complete the name if you have used it before.
Hit the R key twice for trackball rotation (rotation around all axes) of an object or mesh component.
You can keyframe material settings, but not nodes. You can get around this by using keyed material settings as nodes. For example, using a white shadeless material keyed to become black and use it as the Fac in the mix node, thereby animating mixing.
When using the proportional editing tool in edit mode (the button is on the 3D window toolbar) you can change the area of influence by using LMB+mouse scroll wheel.
You can use the number pad’s del/period key to select an object or region of a mesh to be the center of the view and center of rotation operations. Use the Home key to exit out of it.
You can change the camera’s view to your view by using Ctrl+Alt+Numpad 0. This is especially helpful when adding a camera to a new scene since you can get the camera oriented immediately.
You can control the spotlight’s aim better by selecting it and then using Ctrl+Numpad 0 to set the 3D window view to the spotlight’s view.
You can use the Ctrl + 1, 2, 3, or 4 key to automatically make a object get a subsurf modifier at level 1, 2, 3, or 4 in object or edit mode.
Using the numberpad forward slash (/) hides everything except the selected component and centers it as well as filling up the camera view. Pressing / again unhides and returns everything to normal view.
When using nodes, keep in mind that the “Normal” node globe image can be moved with your mouse to change how the normals are calculated.
In the material panel of an object there is a button that says “DYN” where you can adjust the dynamics properties of the object if you are using dynamics (e.g. rigid bodies).
On a laptop? Having trouble adjusting your camera view? Go to your User Preferences window, System & OpenGL section, and press the Emulate Numpad button. This will use your top row of numbers as the number pad. If you like it, remember to set this setting as the default on start up using Ctrl+U.
Two unknown/under-used options are Shift+B for selecting a region and zooming into that region, and Alt+B to view only the geometry in the selected region.
Shift+F is fly mode. It’s really useful in navigating the scene. Give it a try!
In the IPO editor, using the K key lets you select all keys at a selected frame. Using standard Blender hot keys like G, G then Y, S then X, and Shift+D you can move, scale, and copy keys to a new location.

A group of peaceful protesters bearing signs and snacks have set up in front of Kelowna City Hall Saturday, Feb. 29, in a show of solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs.
The small group is holding a mass prayer from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. As of 1 p.m. 40 people have expressed interest in attending on Facebook.
“Join in a group intentional offering to honor the sacred waters and mother earth,” the event on Facebook reads.
Protests have sprung up across the country in support of blockades initiated by the nation’s hereditary chiefs, who oppose the construction of TC Energy’s Coastal GasLink pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast through Wet’suwet’en land.
“The intention of this gathering is PEACEFUL protest. Please respect this and help transmute the pain and suffering occurring into LOVE,” continues the event description.
The protesters held a drum ceremony in the morning and invited anyone to come by for a communal meal at a table set up in front of city hall.
The mass prayer comes a day after Dr. Stewart Phillip, Grand Chief of the Okanagan Nation Alliance, echoed messages of Wet’suwet’en support in a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Lordship Farm Primary School, Hertfordshire
We worked with ESS Modular on this project, which included the manufacture, installation and fit-out of a new stand-alone single-storey classroom building extension, consisting of two class bases, WCs, storage, reception area, segregated plant room and associated groundworks and landscaping.
As it was a requirement of the client brief to target energy levels and adopt the “lean, clean and green” approach, we installed an energy-efficient intelligent lighting system which is operated by absence control, in addition to ambient lighting. We also utilised high-level vertical windows to bring in natural daylight and ventilation to all areas, operated by CO2 sensors, rain sensors, a traffic light alert system for the teacher and a manual override, thus minimising the necessity for constant artificial lighting.
We also built a large underground soakage blanket in order to utilise the natural rainfall for the betterment of the local flora and alleviate the burden on an already oversubscribed storm drain system.

Model-Based Systems Engineering Design and Analysis
This 3-day course provides a broad overview of the processes, practices, tools and techniques that comprise the emerging discipline of MBSE, with emphasis on practical application. The course begins with a review of the systems engineering framework and protocols that establish the context for MBSE practice. We then examine the evolution of MBSE from paper to software and review the current state of languages (UML, SysML, LML, etc.) and tools. From this background, the basic goals of MBSE within a project context are discusses. The course then focuses on six central themes that comprise the unique advantages MBSE offers—Capturing, Connecting, Controlling, Communicating, Collaborating and Cycling—with specific examples, lessons learned from applications in NASA and commercial projects. The course makes extensive use of “learn by doing” through extensive hands-on exercises.
While the course uses a specific tool for teaching, the goal of the course is to be “tool agnostic” such that the basic principles can be applied to any tools that a person or project may use. By the end of this course, participants will be able to…
- Explain the systems engineering framework and how we use it to develop technical baselines throughout the lifecycle.
- Develop key systems engineering diagrams and other artifacts to communicate requirements validation, system context, functional behavior, physical architecture, interfaces, risks and other information.
- List model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools, contrast them with model-based engineering tools, and explain how they can be used to capture, connect, communicate, collaborate, control and cycle the systems engineering effort.
- Identify different modeling languages and explain their application.
- Describe and give examples for the application of MBSE across the lifecycle, from goals, objectives and ConOps through verification planning.
- Apply MBSE tools to develop basic system models.
- Systems Engineering Fundamentals
- Introduction to MBSE and Tools
- Introduction to Modeling Framework and Languages
- MBSE Across the Lifecycle
- Applied MBSE
- Modeling System Design
- Modeling Systems Management
- Modeling System Realization
- MBSE Design and Analysis
- Deep Dive Modeling Frameworks and Languages
- Tool Selection Techniques
- NanoMET: A space system lifecycle case study (integrated throughout)
- Extensive Hands-on Exercises (integrated throughout)
Each participant will receive:
- A complete set of course notes with copies of all slides used in the presentations
- A copy of Applied Space Systems Engineering
- TSTI Alumni status allowing on-line access to course materials and other resources
- Hands-on with Innoslate cloud-based tool (free trial license). Internet access required.
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for practicing systems engineers, payload principle investigators, subsystem engineers or project managers involved in any phase of the space mission life cycle who are curious about application of MBSE to their projects and are seeking a basic foundation in the subject, as well as an appreciation for practical application in their own programs/projects. Some basic understanding of systems engineering principles and processes is assumed.
