À St-Donat, au cœur du Bas-St-Laurent, le paysage s’étend sous un ciel bleu éclatant, parsemé de nuages légers. Les champs verdoyants et les collines ondulantes entourent le village, offrant un écrin de nature à cette communauté rurale. Les maisons, colorées et accueillantes, s’alignent le long des routes sinueuses, chaque jardin débordant de verdure et de...

Sur cette photo panoramique de St-Donat, on ressent l’essence même de l’automne québécois. La route sinueuse traverse le village, entourée d’arbres dont le feuillage éclatant de jaune, d’orange et de rouge crée un tableau vibrant. Les maisons, éparpillées dans ce paysage rural, sont comme des îlots de calme au milieu de la nature changeante. En...

Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke at the Dispatch's Summit 2024 and made clear he opposes President-elect Donald Trump's plan to pardon January 6 rioters - especially those who attacked police. "At the end of the day, I'll always believe that, by God's grace, we did our duty [on January 6] to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America," Pence said according to Dispatch on social media.

Dr Tony McDonald is TLTP officer at the Faculty of Medicine Computing Centre in the Medical School at the University of Newcastle. In this position he has been involved in the development and implementation of the Networked Learning Environment and its deployment at the consortium sites. Whilst developing this system, a lot of additional work was done on XML. Before joining the FMCC, Tony worked at Netskills on the DESIRE project and, further back, was the Macintosh systems advisor at the University of Newcastle Computing Service. His current interests are in website communication (XML-RPC and SOAP) and in 'shipping' the NLE out to as many sites as want it.

One year on and we are still scratching our heads, trying to work out just what we need a Social Networking Policy to cover, why we need it, and exactly who it needs to protect. Social Networking presents lots of opportunities in the areas of teaching and learning, student recruitment, alumni relations and collaboration, as well as exposing the University to a variety of risks and new challenges. This session will explore the risks and opportunities we are faced with, and will try to establish some of the issues we need to safeguard against. It may even provide some answers for institutions who are still thinking about creating a policy, just starting the process, or those burying their heads in the sand...a bit like some senior management! The session was facilitated by Debbie Nicholson and Keith Brooke University of Essex.

Finding sources for funding research can be a demanding task, and one that's not always successful. A new trend that's emerging out of the necessity to fund projects that have no traditional means of support is "crowdfunding." A panel at SpotOnLondon weighs the resulting apprehensions and benefits.

"Humanity pushes back! The Survey Corps develops a risky gambit— have Eren in Titan form attempt to repair Wall Rose, reclaiming human territory from the monsters for the first time in a century. But Titan-Eren's self-control is far from perfect, and when he goes on a rampage, not even Armin can stop him! With the survival of humanity on his massive shoulders, will Eren be able to return to his senses, or will he lose himself forever?"-- Page [4] of cover.

"Sheriff Mal Reynolds has a new partner— a law enforcing robot from the Blue Sun corporation, who doesn't care about motives, about mercy, about anything other than enforcing the law— no matter the cost. The Blue Sun Corporation has helped to run the universe from the shadows for years, but they're ready to step into the light and take over. If Mal wants to keep his job and protect his sector, the smart move would be to play by their rulebook. But for Mal, there's really one choice— reunite the crew of the Serenity for one last impossible job to save the 'verse. Greg Pak and artist Dan McDaid launch Mal & the crew of Serenity into their biggest war yet, officially continuing Joss Whedon's acclaimed series." -- Provided by publisher.

"The stage is set for the final battle as the first ever Firefly event concludes, with Sheriff Mal Reynolds— yeah, he's still getting used to it too— making a choice that may cost him those he loves most, whether he knows it or not … Shocking losses lead to stunning decisions as Mal and the crew of Serenity must face the consequences of their choices in war against the Blue Sun Corporation. The 'Verse is changing in ways no one ever expected— and a new chapter of Firefly begins here." -- Provided by publisher.
