Flatshare Checklist / Stay Safe Online

Before contacting or visiting the advertiser, please make sure you have printed and read this checklist fully. Do NOT send any money to an advertiser unless you are happy that they follow all the advice on the list. If you have any concerns, report them to us.

  • !!! Never Send Money Before Viewing a Room / Property

    Fraudsters will try to encourage you to send money before viewing a property. They may ask you to put a deposit down to hold the room, or sometimes even to allow a viewing. A legitimate landlord will never ask for any money upfront before seeing a room. Fraudsters can be very persuasive, please don't let your emotions take over. Make sure you always view the room/property and have paperwork before paying anything. And it is recommended to pay by credit card (not debit) or PayPal if you can for extra cover.

  • Premium Rate Telephone Numbers

    Please check any telephone number before calling. A scammer may try to use a premium rate number which could cost you potentially between £1 and £5 per minute, of which the scammer gets a cut. You can check the potential cost of telephone numbers here https://www.gov.uk/call-charges.

  • Overpayment Scam

    This scam entails the tenant sending their deposit to the landlord by cheque, but for a greater amount than what they are supposed to and asking for a refund. The landlord pays in the cheque and then sends the difference back to the tenant, only to find that the cheque bounces (is fake) and they cannot get the money back they returned. Cheques can bounce a number of weeks after being deposited, it is recommended you wait 30 days or check with your bank to ensure the cheque is fully cleared.

  • Choose house or flatmates carefully

    This scam involves a lodger or housemate moving in and appearing to be completely legitimate when in reality they are being opportunistic and looking to steal identification such as passports, credit cards, bank details and driving licenses, then promptly leaving.

Please read our full guide to staying safe online here.

Disability voices remain prominent in Brittany Maynard debate

Tuesday, November 4, 2014

Brittany Maynard

Activists from Not Yet Dead and ADAPT protested in Boulder, Colorado on October 26, in response to a visit by Compassion and Choices President Barbara Coombs Lee, who was giving a presentation in favor of expanding physician-assisted suicide laws.

“The legalization of assisted suicide puts me and others with disabilities at risk,” said Anita Cameron, one of the organizers of the protest, in a news release from Not Dead Yet. “Due to our flawed health care system, it costs much less to kill me than to care for me. I’m at higher risk of abuse and coercion, so my ‘right’ to die evolves into my duty to die.”

Compassion and Choices recently produced a video telling the story of Brittany Maynard, which has been seen on Youtube nearly 10 million times since October 6.

In January 2014, Maynard, 29, was diagnosed with brain cancer. Since physician-assisted suicide is illegal in her home-state of California, Maynard moved to Oregon, where physicians can prescribe lethal prescriptions to competent, terminally ill patients, allowing them to end their life. In the video, Maynard described her reasons why she intended to go through on her decision to end her life. She died November 1 at her home in Portland.

Oregon and other states with Death with Dignity laws include a variety of safeguards to prevent abuse, including a 15-day waiting period and the opinion of two physicians on the question of whether the patient is terminally ill, normally defined as having less than six months to live.

Many disability advocacy groups have long opposed Death with Dignity laws, on the grounds that the safeguards do not prevent against abuse, and devalue the lives of people with disabilities.

“Disability advocates are deeply sympathetic to Brittany Maynard, and all people suffering a terminal, serious or chronic illness,” Not Dead Yet, Second Thoughts and the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund said in a news release responding to the Brittany Maynard video on October 9. “Legalization of assisted suicide often looks acceptable when the focus is solely on an individual.

“However, not every terminal prognosis is correct, not everyone’s doctors know how to deliver expert palliative care, and not everyone has a loving husband and family. A closer examination of the issue reveals the immense harm legalization of assisted suicide poses to vulnerable people as well as society as a whole.”

Hard reset instructions for Linksys WPS54GU2

If your WPS54GU2 router is not working as it should, dropping connections or not being responsive, you should first do a reset of the router to see if the problems persist. Other scenarios where you might want to reset your router is if you've forgotten the password or misconfigured it and can't get access anymore.
Your can reset your Linksys WPS54GU2 in the following way(s):

Through the web interface

  1. Open your browser and navigate to the router interface (check default settings below)
  2. Under the Administration tab you will find a sub-tab called Factory defaults
  3. On the Factory defaults page click the button labeled Restore Factory Defaults

With the reset button

  1. Have your unit powered on
  2. Press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds until the power light starts blinking, then release.
  3. When the power light goes solid, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds
  4. Plug the power back in and start the router
  5. When the power light goes solid again the router is ready to use.

The 30-30-30 reset

If the above instructions don't work you can always try the 30-30-30 reset as follows:
  1. When router is powered on, press the reset button and hold for 30 seconds. (Use a paper clip or something sharp)
  2. While holding the reset button pressed, unplug the power of the router and hold the reset button for 30 seconds
  3. While still holding the reset button down, turn on the power to the unit again and hold for another 30 seconds.

This process usually works for resetting any router to it's factory setting. If that doesn't work be sure to check out the questions and answers incase someone else has had similar problems resetting their router.

Note: It is worth reading more about how to reset routers with the 30 30 30 reset and what the risks and considerations are when resetting your router this way, instead of just rebooting it.

‘She can't integrate’: Denmark rejects 13yo Chinese girl’s application to live with family

‘She can't integrate’: Denmark rejects 13yo Chinese girl’s application to live with family
Denmark has denied a 13-year-old Chinese girl the right to live in the country with her mother and Danish stepfather, claiming the teen will not be able to integrate. The girl's classmates have launched a petition which has gathered over 1,700 signatures.

Yiming, 13, lives with her Chinese mother and Danish stepfather in the town of Silkeborg, Denmark. Her stepfather, a former Danish soldier, met his wife while serving abroad in the military.

The couple and Yiming moved to Denmark in September 2016. Once they arrived, they filed the appropriate paperwork for the 13-year-old to live in Denmark with her family.

However, the Danish Immigration Service rejected the family's application, saying Yiming would be unable to “achieve the necessary attachment to Denmark that is required for a successful integration,” TV Midtvest reported.

The family was given just seven days’ notice from the time of the decision until May 31, when it takes effect.

The girl's stepfather, Kjeld Gaard-Frederiksen, disagrees with the ruling, stating that Yiming has already made huge strides in a short amount of time.

“If Yiming isn’t integrated, the word should be removed from the Danish dictionary. She has learned Danish impressively fast and socially she’s also doing well, which the huge support from the school’s students and children shows,” he told Jyllands-Posten newspaper, referring to a petition launched by Yiming’s classmates.

As of Tuesday, that petition had garnered more than 1,700 signatures, according to TV Midtvest.

The girl's stepfather went on to state that he never thought the immigration application would have been rejected.

“I never imagined it. I am married to her mother, her mother has full custody, and it is a 13-year-old child. I could never have predicted this,” he said.

“This decision is splitting the family,” he continued.

It’s not just the girl’s classmates and family who believe Yiming has already integrated into the country – her head teacher believes the same.

“We think she’s already integrated. Because being integrated means being part of a community, and that the community sees her as being a part of it. And that is in fact what we think,” head teacher Claes Pedersen told TV Midtvest.

Yiming's mother and stepfather have filed an appeal against the decision. If the appeal is denied, Gaard-Frederiksen says he and his family will be forced to relocate abroad – a move which he says will essentially amount to him being deported from his own country.

“If this decision is not changed then I don’t see any other option than us moving abroad, which means I am de facto deported from my own country,” he said.

The ruling by the Danish Immigration Service came just weeks after statistics presented to parliament forecast that one-fifth of the Danish population will either be foreign-born or of foreign descent by 2060. In March, government statistics stated that nearly one in five babies born in Denmark in 2016 had a non-Danish mother.

Meanwhile, Denmark – which was hit with an influx of asylum seekers during the European refugee crisis – saw the lowest number of people applying for asylum in six years, during the first quarter of 2017. Just 714 people filed applications during that period, suggesting that this year will see far fewer applications than 2016, when 6,235 people applied.

Greeks declare war on austerity cuts

At least 46 people have been injured as violent clashes and strikes paralyzed Greece on the eve of the vote for fresh austerity cuts. Over 20,000 people took out on the streets of Athens on Tuesday, beginning a massive general 48-hour strike.

As the protest in Athens turned violent on Tuesday, at least 14 people were arrested. Police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse aggressive youths, reportedly anarchists, who joined in the rally, throwing stones and marble chipped from nearby buildings, as well as Molotov cocktails. Twenty-one police officers have reportedly been injured in the clashes.

Most of the demonstrators have not been involved in violence, but tear gas forced them to leave the square outside the Finance Ministry for some time.

Hundreds of police officers have been drawn up to the center of Athens to save the parliament building from protesters getting inside.

The strike has halted the work of most public services in Athens, with such professionals as doctors, ambulance drivers, transport workers, actors and other workers joining in en masse.

The center has also been closed to cars and transport.

Athens Metro workers have temporary abstained from the strike to provide protesters transportation to the central Athens.

In its statement, the labor union of state officials, which includes over 500,000 members, said that it condemns the EU and IMF’s bailout policies.

The union said that the measures, which EU demands from Greece, will destroy the rights of workers and pensioners and will lead young people and unemployed to “desperation.”

Protesters, some of whom have gathered in Piraeus port of Athens on Tuesday, are demanding government to stop their policies of impoverishing its people.

"The situation that the workers are undergoing is tragic and we are near poverty levels,” protester Spyros Linardopoulos was quoted by AP as saying. “The government has declared war and to this war we will answer back with war."

Some 5,000 policemen are guarding the center of Athens, where protesters are gathering with the aim of moving towards the parliament.

Starting Monday, the Greek parliament has been debating the financial program up to 2015, stipulating over 28 million euros in budget cuts.

If adopted, the plan will lead to tax hikes and pension cuts, as well as layouts of 150,000 people from budget-funded organizations.

The adoption of the program comes as a condition for Greece to receive the next installment of 12 billion euros of the EU-backed bailout.

Without the bailout it is expected to become the first of the EU states to default on its debts, inevitably affecting other EU economies.

Demetri Kofinas, a financial journalist, says the bailout will not work and will collapse like a house of cards.

“No one wants these austerity measures, even people who are in the private sector, who don’t stand to lose from austerity measures. They are not fans of these measures because this is not just about cutting the public sector, it is also about privatizing, liquidating the nation, liquidating national assets, selling off public companies at liquidation prices and collateralizing national assets, national resources. It does not offer anyone any kind of future here.”

Yanis Varoufakis, lecturer at the University of Athens, says that says that even those who are voting for the measures do not believe in them and relying “on a miracle”.

The only solution for the problem, he suggests, is to solve Greece’s crisis at the same time as other financial problems in Europe.

“There can be no solution for the Greek problem independently of the solution of the euro system. If Europe continues to see this as a Greek problem I am a very much afraid that there will be no euro in the next year or so.”

Petros Papaconstantinou, a columnist at an Athens newspaper, says European Union is bluffing causing more pressure on Greece’s government before voting, because it understands that Greece’s default will be a disaster for the whole EU.

“The pressure from the EU is tremendous. We could talk about the black mail against the Greek government because they say unless you vote for that outrageous bill tomorrow in Athens there will be no loans later and Greece will be left to default,”  Papaconstantinou said.

Santosh Bakaya of 'Ballad of Bapu' fame speaks to Sanchita Sen

Author Santosh Bakaya

It's Gandhi's non-violence that's the need of the hour. And to get a particular student to read Bapu, Santosh Bakaya took on this journey that finally shaped the 'Ballad of Bapu'.

The boy was smug enough to retort that he finds prose very boring and he would read about Bapu only if I write a poetic biography of Bapu. Well, that set me thinking, and that very day, on reaching home, I started the poetic biography of Mahatma Gandhi.

Sanchita: ‘Ballad of Bapu’, an interesting poetic saga of none other than the ‘Father of the Nation’ !When and how did you conceptualize this, considering a lot has already been written about Bapu?

Santosh: Well, I had always been enamoured of Bapu and his teachings, many of my essays on him had been published in reputed journals, and I had also presented many papers on him in international and national conferences. Once I was talking about him in my MPhil class, and asked the students some questions, which none of them could reply. But one of them, a wannabe poet, sprang up from his seat to tell me that Gandhi had no relevance in the present scenario, and that Hitler was the need of the hour.

“Have you read their autobiographies?” I asked.

The boy was smug enough to retort that he finds prose very boring and he would read about Bapu only if I write a poetic biography of Bapu. Well, that set me thinking, and that very day, on reaching home, I started the poetic biography of Mahatma Gandhi. Since I had been writing limericks since school, the rhyme scheme, aabba , was the rhyme scheme used in this 300 page saga .

Sanchita: According to you, which chapter is the most inspiring in the life of Mahatma Gandhi?

Santosh: The chapter which I find the most inspiring in his life is the Pietermaritzburg train incident, in South Africa, where he was thrown out of a first class carriage, although he had bought a first class ticket. In Ballad of Bapu, I write thus:

“A constable came to push him out of the carriage
Leaving him on the platform, bag and baggage
He was in a sorry plight
On that bitterly cold night

The railway authorities took charge of his luggage
He reached Charlestown where he intended to ride
By coach to Standerton, but there were Europeans inside.
He was rejected rudely
With the driver he sat moodily
Asked to mount the footboard, human rights denied

Mohan stared down the officer, whose eyes were cold
For his seat in the train, insisted the twenty four year old.
The Maritzburg incident
In his heart made a dent
The blows to his self-respect made him bold.”
[Ballad of Bapu, Vitasta publishers, New Delhi, pp 18-19]

This injustice strengthened his resolve to fight for his rights.

Sanchita: Of all his ideals, which one are we getting out of touch with the most and is critically the need of the hour?

Santosh: Non-violence, peace and love are the need of the hour. There is so much violence all around, and the youth is filled with bitterness, rancor, ill-will, intolerance and hatred, and there is a crying need to make Bapu a way of life.

In the author’s note of 'Ballad of Bapu', I write:

“In the crosscurrents of hatred, let us prick up our ears and allow ourselves the luxury of listening to his powerful words. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth will make the whole world blind.
Let us not yearn for this blindness.”

Sanchita: How did your tryst with writing happen?

Santosh: I was in the sixth grade in Sophia School, Jaipur, when a girl joined my class. She would sit hunched over her notebook, scribbling something. I realized that she was writing poems, and later she also graduated to writing short stories. That triggered me into writing my own poems, and short stories.

Sanchita: Sneak peek into your next project.

Santosh: My next projects are two novels [already completed] One, a satire on higher education, and the other a light-hearted romance, a collection of poems, Under the apple boughs , and a surrealistic- spooky – scary long narrative poem Oh HARK , which fetched me the Reuel International award for writing and literature 2014. Already part of The Significant anthology, but now, I plan to bring out an illustrated version of it.

Rapid Fire Round (The first thought that comes to mind on hearing these words)

a.       Non-violence: Bapu
b.      Principles: Gandhian
c.       Freedom: An uncaged bird.
d.      Pen: The pen is definitely mightier than the sword.
e.      Cotton: Untethered clouds, fluffy and feisty.

About the Author

Seven is a quite a special number. It is considered God's number: 7 days in a week, 7 angels in the Apocalypses, seven commandments... you wish! There are ten, all right.

Anyways, here are 7 smooth and clear steps for you to take to enter that sensational honeymoon.

Click here fill in the form, add your photo and you're pretty much done.

Note: the more details you add, the better your chances to get replies. 'Cause every day young Russian Girls from all over Ukraine and Russia will log on to RuPersonal.com to check and reply to men they like.
You browse the gallery of mouthwatering profiles and choose the women you would like to know better. Then, just write a message to your favorite young Russian girls - you still get to do it for Free.
You received a reply and can't wait to open it. Only at this point you will need to purchase credits ($1-$2 per credit depending on how many you buy). The number of credits needed to open a letter varies (see the Price Structure). Pay with a credit card, a check, wire transfer, and more.

You establish great communication and become good friends - no comments and no extra charge.
You can order an interpreted phone call, which costs 1.8 credits per minute (1 credit, if you don't require translation) and chat your heart out with that cute, young Russian girl. More on FAQ page.

Note: Please, keep in mind that exchanging personal contact info during such phone calls is not allowed.
So, you wrote back and forth, you talked on the phone and you really like that girl... You decide to get her direct contact details. Ok. First and foremost, you need to fill out the IMBRA form (US citizens only). Then, two options. One (recommended) is to open 15 messages from the lady and you have the right to request her contact info (or your money back, if this cannot be provided, which is very unlikely). Another option is to pay a $50 fee, whereupon we will contact your chosen young Russian girl and ask her permission to send you her contact details. Note that this money will not be refunded, if permission is not given, so make sure you have her consent.

Note: Please, keep in mind that even if you do have 15 opened messages from a lady, you cannot exchange personal contact info with her through our messaging system. You need to contact us. More on FAQ page.
Once you have established a relationships with one or a few of these gorgeous, young Russian girls, it's time to meet them personally. So, how do you do that? Since you both are located on different continents, we can help arrange your first meeting, if you both positively agree to that. Most women won't be able to obtain a US visa, so you will have to travel to her country, or meet on a “neutral territory”, like Dominican Republic, France, Turkey, Cyprus, etc. Read more on Visas and Immigration in our FAQ.

Note: If you choose not to use our service to arrange your meeting with the lady, there is a way to bypass it by getting her direct contact information. Read about it here.
Once you have met in person and you both want to take it further, the next step is to apply for her "fiancée" visa. On this type of visa she will be able to come to your country and stay for a time (for US it's 90 days). If you get married during this time, that young Russian girl is yours to stay indefinitely. If you don't get married, she will have to return to her home country. Read 'What is the process and how much it costs to bring your sweet, young Russian girl here' on FAQ page.

Congratulations! You've Arrived. Live Happily Ever After!

Measuring Physical Activity Environments

This article provides a history of research on built environments, including contributions from health, planning and leisure studies. The authors focus on the groundwork laid by research conducted before 2000.

Key Findings:

  • Researchers from health fields generally focused on factors that related built environments to physical activity. Settings were most often schools, workplaces and recreational sites.
  • Researchers in city planning used Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to assess community design and walkability.
  • Researchers of recreation and leisure identified and studied uses of leisure time.

Each discipline made important contributions to the field of built environment research and current research efforts are strengthened by a multidisciplinary approach.

The Holidays in Downtown Denver.

Downtown Denver certainly offers a lot during the Holidays. Union Station, much like the City Council building, is all lit up and beautiful at night. Outside of Union Station, they have a market with tents now, as you can see in some photos below.

Ice Skating at Skyline Park is just as busy as ever, but 100% apart of the “must-dos” around the Holiday time of the year. Just across the street from Skyline Park is the Christkindlmarkt Market. This has definitely grown in size with everything from Holiday ornaments, to authentic German food (coming from a North Dakotan where we take our German food seriously), and a massive tent to warm everyone with live music, fresh beer, and singing loud for all to hear (I just watched “Elf“)

I’ll be heading back there soon to try more of their German foods and have a beer as well. I’ll definitely write a recap of it 🙂

Cheers and hope you enjoy the photos and videos.

Appropriate Filtering

Guide for education settings and filtering providers about establishing 'appropriate levels of filtering'

The aim of this guide is to help education settings (including Early years, schools and FE) and filtering providers comprehend what should be considered as ‘appropriate filtering’.

It is important to recognise that no filtering systems can be 100% effective and need to be supported with good teaching and learning practice and effective supervision.

Illegal Online Content

In considering filtering providers or systems , schools should ensure that access to illegal content is blocked, specifically that the filtering providers:

  • Are IWF members and block access to illegal Child Abuse Images and Content (CAIC)
  • Integrate the ‘the police assessed list of unlawful terrorist content, produced on behalf of the Home Office’

Inappropriate Online Content

Recognising that no filter can guarantee to be 100% effective, schools should be satisfied that their filtering system manages the following content (and web search)

  • Discrimination: Promotes the unjust or prejudicial treatment of people on the grounds of the protected characteristics listed in the Equality Act 2010
  • Drugs / Substance abuse: displays or promotes the illegal use of drugs or substances
  • Extremism: promotes terrorism and terrorist ideologies, violence or intolerance
  • Malware / Hacking: promotes the compromising of systems including anonymous browsing and other filter bypass tools as well as sites hosting malicious content
  • Pornography: displays sexual acts or explicit images
  • Piracy and copyright theft: includes illegal provision of copyrighted material
  • Self Harm: promotes or displays deliberate self harm (including suicide and eating disorders)
  • Violence: Displays or promotes the use of physical force intended to hurt or kill

This list should not be considered an exhaustive list and providers will be able to demonstrate how their system manages this content and many other aspects

Providers should be clear how their system does not over block access so it does not lead to unreasonable restrictions

Filtering System Features

Additionally schools should consider that their filtering system meets the following principles

  • Age appropriate, differentiated filtering – includes the ability to vary filtering strength appropriate to age and role
  • Control - has the ability and ease of use that allows schools to control the filter themselves to permit or deny access to specific content
  • Filtering Policy – the filtering provider publishes a rationale that details their approach to filtering with classification and categorisation as well as over blocking
  • Identification - the filtering system should have the ability to identify users
  • Mobile and App content – mobile and app content is often delivered in entirely different mechanisms from that delivered through a traditional web browser. To what extent does the filter system block inappropriate content via mobile and app technologies (beyond typical web browser delivered content)
  • Multiple language support – the ability for the system to manage relevant languages
  • Network level - filtering should be applied at ‘network level’ ie, not reliant on any software on user devices
  • Reporting mechanism – the ability to report inappropriate content for access or blocking
  • Reports – the system offers clear historical information on the websites visited by your users

Filtering systems are only ever a tool in helping to safeguard children when online and schools have an obligation to “consider how children may be taught about safeguarding, including online, through teaching and learning opportunities, as part of providing a broad and balanced curriculum”.

This detail has been developed by the South West Grid for Learning, as coordinators of the UK Safer Internet Centre, and in partnership and consultation with the 120 national ‘360 degree safe e Safety Mark’ assessors ( and the NEN Safeguarding group (

UK Safer Internet Centre recommends that those responsible for Schools and Colleges undertake (and document) an annual online safety risk assessment, assessing their online safety provision that would include filtering (and monitoring) provision. The risk assessment should consider the risks that both children and staff may encounter online, together with associated mitigating actions and activities. The UK Safer Internet Centre will be publishing further guidance in 2018 in support of this recommendation.

Hats off to the Class of 2015 – Graduation Video

Hats off to the Class of 2015 – Graduation Video

Dear College Community,

The pinnacle of one's college experience is often commencement day. Held on May 14, 2015, Saint Paul College's Commencement Ceremony was an extraordinary evening. Graduating more than 1300 students, 450 attended the ceremony with friends, family, faculty and staff, all there to proudly witness this fine event.  The profound economic impact these graduates will have in our community and beyond is simply immeasurable.
This year's commencement was a wonderful celebration. It is was the culmination of so many of our students' hard work and determination in earning their certificates, diplomas and associates degrees. Our graduates are well on their way in their life's journey, eager to start their new jobs and join the workforce in new careers; many are transferring to four-year institutions. I like to think of it as delivering on the idea, that when our students start at Saint Paul College, they can go anywhere.
In my commencement remarks, I shared a quote that really resonates with me about "The Value of Service" from Bengali poet, Rabindranath Tagore:
"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy."
I believe that we are a college that lives the value of service. I see evidence of it every day in our hallways, classrooms, labs, offices and the grounds of Saint Paul College. I am truly thankful to be here, where our faculty and staff provide valuable service to each other and to our students daily.

Please take a moment to watch this short video encompassing the joy we shared as a community on Commencement Day.

Thank you,

Rassoul Dastmozd, President and CEO

The Sixth Week of Spring Semester
Sign In

Saint Paul College A Community & Technical College

The Sixth Week of Spring Semester

I am amazed by the level of engagement that our students demonstrate each and every day at the College. On Tuesday, when the College held a staff and faculty Professional Development Day, many of our students came to school anyway and made use of the study areas and computers in the Learning Commons, Library, and Computer Labs. I also caught a glimpse of several of our faculty members fielding students’ questions during the breaks!

This is what makes Saint Paul College a special place for our students and our community at large. As I often said, if we do not take care of our students, who will?

Here’s a short recap of my activities and meetings this week:

  • Exploring Opportunities and Educational Pathways – presidents of several Metro two-year colleges, myself included, and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Chancellor met with the president of the University of St. Thomas, and her team, to discuss the feasibility of establishing a guided pathway for community college students to four-year programs at St. Thomas.
  • Closing the Gap on Disparities in the Twin Cities – I attended the “Closing the Gap on Disparities in the Twin Cities” conversation at the Saint Paul Neighborhood House. This organization serves over 15,000 people each year.
  • Saint Paul Public Schools Career Exploration Fair – I gave a welcome address to 120 Saint Paul Public Schools 9-12th grade high school students who toured the campus as part of their career exploration activities. Thanks to all involved here on campus and especially to our admissions specialists.
  • Pathways to Prosperity for Women - I met with a foundation from the Metro area that wants to promote pathways to prosperity for women in Minnesota and workforce system change, along with two of our students, our Foundation grant writer, our executive director of Friends of Saint Paul College, and our dean of Workforce Training and Continuing Education.
  • Minneapolis Saint Paul Regional Workforce Investment Network (MSPWIN) – discussed funding priorities, legislative priorities, policy agenda, and workforce system change with the MSPWIN Executive Director.
  • Healthcare Workforce System Strategies – I attended the Central Corridor Anchor Partnership (CCAP) Executive Committee meeting to discuss and promote workforce system strategies for the healthcare occupational sector.
  • Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood - Attended a Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood (SPPN) Board of Directors meeting and Finance Committee meeting. SPPN uses education as a tool to end multi-generational poverty in the Frogtown and Summit-University neighborhoods by creating early pathways of opportunities leading to college and career success.
  • District Energy St. Paul – I attended a District Energy St. Paul Board meeting. District Energy St. Paul is considered the most notable in the United States for its use of renewable energy sources and implementation of energy conservation measures.

Meetings on Campus

  • Professional Development Day for Faculty & Staff - I attended spring semester faculty and staff professional day at the College, with special workshops and presentations, supporting Charting the Future initiatives here on campus. The day started with an interactive workshop “The Platinum Rule: A first step towards intercultural competence” led by our Chief Diversity Officer/Director of Student Life & Diversity, and continued with a variety of presentations and group work on student support and interaction, continuous program improvement and updates from multiple departments.
  • Faculty Shared Governance - I along with members of College’s Executive Leadership Team met with the Faculty Shared Governance to discuss strategic and operational issues at the College.

In the news this week and noteworthy items:

  • Star Tribune:Newly sworn citizens are overjoyed to be Americans features one of our students, Paw Da Eh, who was born of Burmese parents in a Thai refugee camp. I can relate to their excitement and joy, which is what I felt when I became a naturalized citizen over three decades ago. Congratulations to Paw and all of the new Americans. It’s a privilege to have you here.
  • MPR News - Top chefs: 12 Twin Citians among James Beard semifinalists - The James Beard Awards are among the most prestigious in the food world and recognize the best across North America. Four of the twelve semifinalists currently serve on our Culinary Arts Program Advisory Committee. Congratulations to these four chefs and we want to thank you for you dedication and commitment to our renowned Culinary Arts program:
        Best Chef: Midwest: Thomas Boemer, Corner Table, Minneapolis; Lenny Russo, Heartland Restaurant
        & Farm Direct Market, St. Paul; and Jorge Guzman, Surly Brewing Co., Minneapolis
        Outstanding Pastry Chef (National): Diane Yang, Spoon and Stable, Minneapolis
  • More Culinary Arts program news:Culinary Arts program welcomes area medical professionals for hospitalist event You can view the video of our instructors and students from Saint Paul College’s Culinary Arts as they welcomed area medical professionals to the campus to talk about health and nutrition. The hospitalists were able to get hands-on experience preparing healthy meals so they could talk to their patients more effectively about healthy eating. Thank you to our amazing Culinary Arts instructors for hosting such an important event and to our Culinary Arts students who helped with the demonstrations.

Congratulations to faculty member Beth Arnold, recipient of national Phi Theta Kappa Distinguished Advisor Award!
Beth Arnold, philosophy instructor, has been an exemplary advisor of the College’s Beta Xi Alpha Chapter and has been recognized as one of thirty Phi Theta Kappa Distinguished Advisors. The award recognizes advisors who have served at least four years and have made significant contributions to the growth of the individual chapter members, served as the chapter's advocate on campus, and encouraged the chapter to be involved on the local regional, and/or international level of the organization.

Thank you Beth for your hard work and dedication to our students as an instructor and advisor.

I am so lucky to be at Saint Paul College and to serve our students, staff, faculty, and community. My experience is a rewarding one and I will not change it for the world! I am honored and privileged to be leading Saint Paul College.

Be bold. Be inspired. Be relevant. Amazing things are happening at the College.

My best,

Stirring win at SDSU validates computers, courage fueling Toreros' NCAA dreams

In the spring, Bill McGillis cold-called an assistant athletic director in the middle of the United States to figure out how to construct a purposefully painful non-conference basketball schedule.

McGillis, USD’s athletic director, wanted to fully understand how much beef and star power the Toreros needed to pump into open slots on a schedule that already included San Diego State and Colorado.

The man on the other end was Michigan State’s Kevin Pauga, the name and analytics-crunching computer power behind something called KPI. It’s short for the Kevin Pauga Index, which correctly predicted 67 of the 68 teams in the 2017 NCAA Tournament.

The system is so revered that the NCAA selection committee now includes his index in its decision making after dumping the old standby RPI.

That’s why Wednesday’s rollicking, 73-61 win over the Aztecs at Viejas Arena loomed far larger than a pair of neighbors leaving sneaker marks on the same court. The game — see-sawing, body-scattering and all — constituted one element of a scheduling chess piece that would make Garry Kasparov proud.

As McGillis picked Pauga’s brain during that spring call, the goal was simple: If the Toreros didn’t scoop up the automatic bid for winning the West Coast Conference — which includes current national No. 1 Gonzaga — what combination of analytics and pedigree would it take to lasso an at-large?

So far, USD has won against Colorado and lost at No. 25 Washington and Mississippi by a combined 10 points.

Winning against the Aztecs meant the thin margin in the Toreros’ grand scheduling experiment wasn’t trimmed to the microscopic. That meant — after Isaiah Pineiro scored 21, Isaiah Wright 18, Olin Carter III 10 and Torrey Pines freshman Finn Sullivan 9 with 7 rebounds — the plan lived to breathe another NCAA-chasing day.

“With the schedule (McGillis) put together, wanting to put us in the best position when it comes to March, with all the different (rankings systems), I know a 12-point win on the road against a high-caliber team is a good thing,” Toreros coach Sam Scholl said.

This was more than an unforgettable ‘W’ for USD. This was part of a big, bold bundle of calculated risk, meeting at the intersection of guts and gamble.

Finn’s exclamation point of a block on Aztecs senior Devin Watson with just more than a minute to play also swatted away nagging perceptions. There’s more than a little something to the Big Brother, Little Brother sense of things when the Aztecs and Toreros trade jump shots.

They’re separated by 12 miles of road … but planes, trains and rocket ships when it comes to platforms and pedestals. San Diego State claims nearly 25,000 more undergrads and about 9,500 more tickets are peeled off, on average, at Aztecs home games this season.

That’s the math of the mind, though. The math of the heart, carrying a decimal point for effort here and accounting for some old-fashioned tenacity there, can drive actuaries and basketball coaches nuts.

For now, hope retains its fascinating glimmer. If the scheduling meat-grinder works, the cap tips will stretch from Linda Vista Road to Selection Sunday TVs. If it doesn’t work … well, so what? Trying always trumps the alternative.

Though the whole thing might seem like planting your feet to take a charge against a cruise ship, it constitutes the most plausible way for one veteran team to summon its best shot at the best time.

Wins like Wednesday were what McGillis brainstormed.

As the dance card that includes the Aztecs gained shape in the spring, McGillis plugged teams into Pauga’s software. A reasonable guess-timation of possible wins and losses against the big names showed they would finish just below the likely KPI cutline.

“We knew we needed one more game and we needed to swing for the fences,” McGillis said minutes before tipoff. “I told Sam, ‘Hey, Oregon’s available.’ He kind of shook his head and smiled. I asked, ‘Do you want to go to the NCAA Tournament next year?’ Well, we’ve got to add Oregon, too.

“Sam said, ‘I’m in.’ ”

Crazy, right?

Not when you consider the potential McGillis and Scholl saw in the suddenly 7-2 Toreros. When they clunked and clanked their way to 0-for-11 shooting from 3-point range in the first half, they simply hit five of six to start the next — from the fingers of five different players.

As the Aztecs wilted, you almost forgot that the ever-confident Toreros played without 6-10 forward Yauhen Massalski, a sequoia turned spectator because of an ankle injury.

This team is building moxie along with resume. When Sullivan, the freshman, missed a pair of free throws with a tenuous six-point lead and 3:11 to play, the understandable deflation never materialized.

On the next possession, Sullivan knifed toward the hoop to coax another foul and hit both free throws. Then he polished off another baseline move before swiping Watson and the Aztecs away.

“It’s a great win when you talk about (postseason resume),” Pineiro said. “They won their tournament last year. They’re going to do good this year. Right now, we’re going to be rooting for them the rest of the season.”

Smart, those computers. Sometimes those athletic directors are, too.; Twitter: @Bryce_A_Miller

San Pellegrino Fruit Beverages

It is the colour of the sun, of wellbeing and of joy. It is a symbol of light and energy and is also the colour of lemons growing in lands that are drenched in a warm and bright sunlight which nurtures them from bloom to harvest. Many citrus fruits are yellow but the lemon is without a doubt the yellowest of them all: why?

The yellow colour of citrus fruits depends on bioflavonoids (flavonoids) present in the peel. The colour intensity is due to anthocyanin, a pigment which varies according to the level of acidity of the fruit that contains them.

Saint Barbara Legend

According to tradition, Barbara lived in Asia Minor in the third century CE, daughter of a prominent Roman citizen. Converting to Christianity, illegal in the Roman Empire at the time, she had a third window added to the tower of her home to symbolize the Christian Holy Trinity while her father was away. She was arrested, condemned to death, and her father carried out the sentence. He in turn was immediately struck dead by lightning. Barbara, martyred for her faith, became the patron saint of miners, artillerymen, and builders, among others. Explorer Sebastián Vizcaíno named the channel here in her honor in 1602.

Saint Barbara, French, c. 16th century

Oil on board
47 x 21 inches
Gift of Paul McCoole
In December 1602, on the eve of St. Barbara’s Feast Day, Spanish explorer Sebastián Vizcaíno sailed into the channel, whereupon the priest aboard the ship christened it Santa Barbara.

Members of the Scientific Computing faculty are key participants in one of the first Big Data Initiative grants awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The grant is part of President Obama’s initiative to improve the nation’s ability to extract knowledge and insights from large and complex collections of digital data and to accelerate the pace of discovery in science and engineering.

The grant will enable FSU to augment the campus network infrastructure by building a private, dedicated campus research path called the NoleNet Express-Lane for use by professors whose research demands an extremely high levels of data transfers and computations. The new “express-lane” network will allow private access and encourage collaboration among and between research partners - on and off FSU’s campus. High Performance Computing (HPC) Director James Wilgenbusch is one of the co-PIs, and will work closely with research faculty and other FSU technology professionals so that the proposed network enhancements noticeably improve FSU’s research capabilities.

James Wilgenbusch

“Having a dedicated, high-speed research network is at the core of our efforts to qualitatively improve FSU research cyber infrastructure,“ said Wilgenbusch. “A dedicated research network with high-speed connections to our regional optical network gives us a way to create research workflows, which can open up new research possibilities and significantly accelerate existing research efforts.”

The grant will fund hardware needed for the project, which will be installed in FSU’s existing core campus switches, and will utilize dark fiber to upgrade access pathways to Florida LambdaRail, Florida’s statewide high-speed network. The LambdaRail network will in turn connect to national networks such as Internet2 and others.

SC Department Interim Chair Gordon Erlebacher sees the scientific potential of such an initiative. “The size of datasets continues to increase at seemingly exponential rates. Access to dedicated high-speed research networks is an essential ingredient to remain competitive in the research arena, and allow for the exploration of new modalities of interaction and collaboration.”

Wilgenbusch worked in concert with biological science faculty whose research will benefit from the added performance and extended research community made available, and with Scientific Computing Assistant Professor Alan Lemmon, who is also a co-PI on the award. “We are collecting trillions of nucleotides of DNA sequence data each month. This new resource will really help make it possible to migrate those data so that analyses can be performed efficiently,“ Lemmon said.

Creating the NoleNet Express-Lane and upgrading campus connections to the Florida LambdaRail will enhance currently supported workflows dependent on core campus resources, improve the ability to rapidly implement research workflows and data analysis, and fully realize opportunities to advance work related to leading-edge and emerging network technologies. No longer will specialized research have to compete for network resources with general campus enterprise activities.

Scientific Computing/HPC, Information Technology Services, Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry collaborated on the two-year, $230,248 award.

Canadian Study Tour of Reggio Emilia, Italy

Lina joined the Canadian Study Tour of Reggio Emilia, Italy from March 11 to 16, 2018. This is an opportunity for Canadian educators to delve deeper into the Reggio approach to learning. The 'theme' was Pedagogical Documentation as visible listening: Building cultures of childhood and democratic citizenship. The tour included presentations by educators, pedagogisti and atelieristi, 5 buffet lunches, morning and afternoon breaks when required by the program, and bus transportation when required by the program. It also included a visit to an infant-toddler centre one afternoon, a visit to a preschool one morning, and a farewell time in either a preschool or infant-toddler centre. An opportunity to experience an atelier is included in relation with the focus of the week. The study week ended with a walking tour of the older part of the city of Reggio Emilia.

Lina has since been sharing her knowledge and experience with Schoolhouse educators, challenging our thinking, and encouraging us to continue our adventure in learning and implementing this amazing philosophy!

Abstract: In this work, the mechanism of the epitaxial growth of 4H SiC using CH3Cl as the carbon source gas was investigated. The experiments were conducted with a H2 carrier gas flow rate reduced in comparison to the standard conditions used for device-quality, full-wafer C3H8 growth. Low-H2 conditions have been found favorable for investigating the differences between the two gas systems. A non-linear trend of the growth rate dependence on CH3Cl flow was observed. This dependence was quantitatively different for C3H8 growth, which serves as an indication of different kinetics of CH3Cl and C3H8 precursor decomposition, as well as differences in Si droplet formation and dissociation. The maximum growth rate that we were able to achieve was by a factor of two higher for the CH3Cl precursor than for the C3H8 precursor at the same temperature and flow conditions. The growth on lower off-axis angle substrates produced surface morphology degradation similar for both CH3Cl and C3H8 precursor systems.

Abstract: Epitaxial growth of SiC films was performed on 4H SiC n+ substrates utilizing a chlorosilane/propane chemistry in both single wafer and batch CVD systems. Variations of the chlorosilane flow under fixed conditions of gas composition, temperature and pressure resulted in growth rates between 4 to 20 μm/hr. Fixing the chlorosilane flow rate to achieve a growth rate of approximately 4 μm/hr, the effects of temperature, pressure and gas composition on background dopant incorporation, epitaxial layer uniformity and epitaxial defect generation were investigated. Intentional n and p-type doping has been demonstrated over the carrier range 1×1018-1×1020/cm3. This paper presents the first reported of use of chlorosilane precursors to grow high quality undoped, n and p doped SiC epilayers.

Abstract: 4H-SiC epitaxial layers have been grown using trichlorosilane (TCS) as the silicon precursor source together with ethylene as the carbon precursor source. A higher C/Si ratio is necessary compared with the silane/ethylene system. This ratio has to be reduced especially at higher Si/H2 ratio because the step-bunching effect occurs. From the comparison with the process that uses silane as the silicon precursor, a 15% higher growth rate has been found using TCS (trichlorosilane) at the same Si/H2 ratio. Furthermore, in the TCS process, the presence of chlorine, that reduces the possibility of silicon droplet formation, allows to use a high Si/H2 ratio and then to reach high growth rates (16 *m/h). The obtained results on the growth rates, the surface roughness and the crystal quality are very promising.

Abstract: Thick epitaxial layers of 4H-SiC both n- and p-type were grown using horizontal Hot- Wall CVD (HWCVD). No large difference in the carrier lifetime was observed for the layers grown on n- and p-type substrates. The carrier lifetime usually increases with the increasing thickness of the epilayer. To investigate if the growth conditions and material properties are changing during the longer growth time a sample was prepared with uniformly varying epilayer thickness from 20μm on one side to 110μm on other side. Results of optical and electrical measurements, the variation in background impurities and other deep levels are discussed. Furthermore, the properties of thick layers grown on on-axis substrates are presented.

Abstract: A 4H-SiC epitaxial growth process has been developed in a horizontal hot-wall CVD reactor using a standard chemistry of silane-propane-hydrogen, producing repeatable growth rates up to 32 μm/h. The growth rate was studied as a function of pressure, silane flow rate, and growth time. The structural quality of the films was determined by X-ray diffraction. A 65 μm thick epitaxial layer was grown at the 32 μm/h rate, resulting in a smooth, specular film morphology with occasional carrot-like and triangular defects. The film proved to be of high structural quality with an X-ray rocking curve FWHM value of the (0004) peak of 11 arcseconds.

Abstract: Horizontal air-cooled low-pressure hot-wall CVD (LP-HWCVD) system is developed to get high quality 4H-SiC epilayers. Homoepitaxial growth of 4H-SiC on off-oriented Si-face (0001) 4H-SiC substrates purchased from Cree is performed at a typical temperature of 1500°C with a pressure of 40 Torr by using SiH4+C2H4+H2 gas system. The surface morphologies and structural and optical properties of 4H-SiC epilayers are characterized with Nomarski optical microscope, atomic force microscopy (AFM), x-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, and low temperature photoluminescence (LTPL). The background doping of 32 μm-thick sample has been reduced to 2-5×1015 cm-3. The FWHM of the rocking curve is 9-16 arcsec. Intentional N-doped and B-doped 4H-SiC epilayers are obtained by in-situ doping of NH3 and B2H6, respectively. Schottky barrier diodes with reverse blocking voltage of over 1000 V are achieved preliminarily.

Abstract: This paper presents SiC CVD epitaxy for MESFET fabrication in a horizontal hot-wall reactor with gas foil rotation. Excellent uniformity of < 2% for thickness and < 10% for doping has been routinely obtained for both 3x2-in. and 1x3-in. growth. The highly uniform epitaxy is maintained for the growth of a large range of doping concentrations (less than 5x1015 to greater than 1.5x1019 cm-3) and thicknesses (0.25 – 60 μm). MESFET buffer/channel structure has been characterized with SIMS measurement showing sharp interface transition. Pinch-off voltages are extracted from CV measurements over a full 2-in. wafer.

Abstract: The influence of the epitaxial layer growth parameters on the electrical characteristics of Schottky diodes has been studied in detail. Several diodes were manufactured on different epitaxial layers grown with different Si/H2 ratio and hence with different growth rates. From the electrical characterization a maximum silicon dilution ratio can be fixed at 0.04 %. This limit fixes also a maximum growth rate that can be obtained in the epitaxial growth, with this process, at about 8 μm/h. Several epitaxial layers have been grown, using this dilution ratio, with different temperatures (1550÷1650 °C). At 1600 °C the best compromise between the direct and the reverse characteristics has been found. With this process the yield decreases from 90% for a Schottky diode area of 0.25 mm2 to 61% for the 2 mm2 diodes. Optimizing the deposition process to reduce the defects introduced by the epitaxial process, yield of the order of 80% can be reached on 1 mm2 diodes.

Abstract: The epitaxial growth of SiC by a hot-wall CVD system using monomethylsilane (CH3SiH3) as a precursor is described. In the case of CH3SiH3 source only, an undoped homoepitaxial layer showed an n-type conduction around 1016-1017cm-3 on the Si face. To improve the quality of epilayers, the simultaneous supply of CH3SiH3 and C3H8 was carried out. The pit density of grown layers was reduced from 105 to 103cm-2, and a donor concentration as low as 1.6×1014cm-3 was achieved. An attempt to increase of the growth rate was also investigated.

Abstract: The initial homoepitaxial growth behavior on nearly on-axis 4H-SiC substrates was investigated. We have observed circular etch pits on the surface of on-axis substrate in the presence of source gases. However, there were no circular etch pits on the surface of off-axis substrates. In addition, the surface etched by H2 gas did not show circular etch pits even on nearly on-axis substrates. The shape of the circular etch pits was similar to spiral one. The initial growth behavior of epilayers was also investigated with various C/Si ratios of source gases (0.6
