Chocolate-chip oatmeal cookie overnight oats with actual miniature no-bake cookies to top it off. The "cookies" are three-ingredients, very easy, and super healthy to make. This is the perfect on-the-go breakfast!
Clearly, I am not messing around with my overnight oats. These ones have actual "cookies" in them, and the last batch had actual brownie mix in em.
When I say dessert for breakfast, I'm completely serious. It's my favorite way to do breakfast. And since I have pretty much exhausted every single breakfast cookie – (no-bake and baked alike) possible, I'm bringing you cookies in overnight oatmeal form.
But don't worry about not having breakfast cookies, I'm sure they'll make their rounds here again real soon. I'm hopelessly addicted to those.
And these kind pretty much do have breakfast cookies in them – just in a simpler, 3-ingredient form. But feel free to substitute these no-bake cookies in this recipe instead. They are a family and reader favorite – and for good reason, they are SO easy to make and absolutely delicious.
But since the whole point of overnight oats (at least to me) is a quick, throw-it-in-the-fridge, breakfast is ready in the morning type of deal — I wanted these to still be super easy.
Which they are. That's the amazing-ness of overnight oats. I always feel so on top of things when I wake up and breakfast is already made. So I can write out my list of things to do for the day and immediately cross of making breakfast from the list.
Overnight oats are pretty adaptable. I've been making them for several years now (hello college breakfast for four years straight) so I've got the quantities and ingredients exactly how I think they are best. But there is a lot of room for changing things up. You can switch the type of milk, up the peanut butter amount, increase the oats a bit (you'll want more liquid too), and even put a higher ratio of chocolate chips to oats because heck I've done that too before.
Also, I do know some people like to warm up their oats in the microwave. I personally love them cold, but whatever works for you.
The only thing you have to remember in the morning is to not forget the tupperware that is storing your delicious breakfast. I can't even tell you how many times I did that in college…
- 2 and 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup yogurt (I like vanilla flavored)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or sub another milk
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon truvia or sub another sweetener
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Optional: miniature chocolate chips or dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons oat flour regular oats that have been blended
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips
- In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Microwave for 10 seconds, stir for 10 seconds, and microwave for 10 more seconds.
- Add in the yogurt, milk, oats, sweetener, salt, and cinnamon.
- Stir well and make sure the peanut butter is mashed in thoroughly.
- If desired, add in mini or dark chocolate chips and stir into the oats.
- Transfer the mixture into a small jar or sealed container.
- Place in the fridge for at least an hour or until oats are completely softened.
- Store overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For the "cookies" mix together the honey and peanut butter in a small bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds and stir well. Stir in the oats and oat flour (measure the oat flour AFTER blending the oats in a blender or food processor). The mixture will be thick and if it's not thick enough add additional oat flour.
Mix in the miniature chocolate chips. Form small balls by squishing the mixture and then rolling into balls. You need to squish it tightly and roll them tightly to keep it together.
Here are some more overnight oats:

Hotel room rates in the top-25 most popular U.S. destinations are nowcast¹ to average $203.69 this July, down from $221.3 in June, according to hotel online room rates derived from trivago's unique real time global multi-provider platform. The U.S. online average room rate (oARR), the world's best predictive analytic and hoteliers' only tool for "predictive benchmarking ®", ranges among the top-25 destinations from a high of $359 to a low of $98 this July. Based on industry surveys, e−forecasting.com estimates that in 2017 about 70% of all reservations are made online via brand websites and travel agent merchant websites, compared with only one-fourth eight years ago.
On year-over-year basis, the U.S. average online room rate is now up (+0.1%), this July, from a year ago, which is lower than the previous month's year-over-year growth rate of (+2.8%). This July, the average online room rate in Boston, after rising (+3.5%) from last year, hit $359 a night, making the city the most expensive destination among the top-25 U.S. hotel markets. Seattle takes the second place now, in July, with an online room rate nowcast at $328, after an increase of (+4.1%) from a year ago. In New York, the online room rate in July is now shrinking (−2.4%) from last year to $280 a night, ranking the city in the third place of the most expensive destinations in the United States.
At the bottom of the list, the three least expensive, or most affordable, cities to visit this July are: San Antonio nowcasting an online room rate of $134 a night after a (−5.6%) change from a year ago; Houston posts now an online room rate of $112 following a (−9.7%) change from last year; and lastly, the most affordable popular destination in the country is now Phoenix with an online room rate of $98 after a nil change from a year ago. With a median online room rate of $185 amongst the top-25 most popular U.S. destinations, San Jose is nowcasted to be the country's average affordable city to visit this July.
Moving from data to hotel-biz-analytics®, e−forecasting.com's Smoothed Seasonally Adjusted (SSA)² predictive analytic, which measures the so called (underlying) trend in online room rates, nowcasts $202.81 for July. On a month-over-month basis - the hoteliers' predictive analytic for tracking what's now and not what's the past - "nowcasts the national trend in online room rate this July to have increased (+0.4%) from the previous month, which is the same percent change as in June", said Evangelos Simos, editor of predictive analytics databases and professor of economics at the University of New Hampshire.
Combining the demand-driven trend effect with the market-specific periodic effect, e-forecasting.com offers hoteliers unparalleled predictive intelligence to optimize both what's now and what's next "predictive benchmarking ®". "Looking at the top-25 hotel destinations, the month-to-month percent change in the trend of online room rates in July ranges from a high of (+2.0%) in Seattle to a low of (−0.4%) in Salt Lake City. Amongst the top-25 destinations, the trend (SSM) in online monthly room rates is growing in 14 cities; and is falling or staying flat in 11 cities," Simos added.
"Looking at profitability, hoteliers' ultimate gauge for decision-making, profits per room based on online room rates are down (−2.6%) on a year-over-year basis in July", said Maria Sogard, CEO at e-forecasting.com. It is the result of changes in two predictive analytics: the average online room rate is flat of its value, while e−forecasting.com national unit (per room) cost index is up (+2.8%). In our last month's report - June 2017 - year-over-year profit margins posted a reading of (+0.3%). A year ago - July 2016 - profit margins based on online room rates had posted a reading of (−3.2%). Using nowcast trivago's online hotel room rates for the top-25 U.S. destinations and nowcast e−forecasting.com's city-centric hotel unit (room) cost indices, year-over-year percent change in profits per room currently range from a high of (+19.0%) in Detroit to a low of (−18.6%) in Philadelphia in July. Amongst the top-25 destinations, nowcast predictive analytics on profits per room, based on online rates, are up in 9 cities; they are down or are flat in 16 cities.
On tracking monthly the risk for business losses in providing services per room from online reservations, e−forecasting.com nowcasts the probability for hoteliers being in a losses (negative profits) phase of the hotel industry's business cycle for each individual hotel market and the national economy. For U.S. hoteliers, the probability of losses is nowcast to have hit 18% this month - July, which is lower than June's reading of 33%. In the top-25 hotel destinations, the risk for hoteliers being in a period of business losses per room - from online reservations - this July, ranges from a high of 94% in Philadelphia to a low of 1% in Seattle. "The predictive analytic for business losses per room is above 50% in 10 cities out of 25 cities; it is 50% or below in 15 cities," Maria added.

SoFi takes a unique approach to lending, offering lower interest rates and big savings. Here's how.
Doing business online allows us to keep expenses down. We then pass these savings onto our members.
Since we don't have brick-and-mortar branches, we save on operating costs.
Online applications allow us to get through information faster and waste less time.
Our customer service team is based out of California and Utah, offering streamlined support seven days a week.
We look beyond just credit scores and debt-to-income ratios to consider factors like estimated cashflow, career, and education. So while other lenders charge higher rates to account for the possibility that borrowers won't pay back their loans, our unique underwriting process helps ensure our members have a high likelihood of making their payments.
Since almost all SoFi members pay back their loans on time, we're able to offer lower rates.
SoFi offers tools and resources to empower our members and help them reach their goals.
If a SoFi member loses their job*, we'll temporarily pause their payments and coach them through the job hunt to find that next opportunity.

RADAR CHECK: The radar looks more like June instead of April; we have a classic case of widely scattered, totally random showers and storms on radar this afternoon. They are moving northeast. A few spots are getting heavy rain; many places have yet to see a drop.
We will maintain the chance of showers and storms tonight with a weak surface front to the north.
TOMORROW THROUGH FRIDAY: There will be some risk of showers tomorrow and Wednesday, but for now it looks like they will be very widely spaced, and many places will be dry. Best chance of a shower will come during the afternoon and evening, generally between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Otherwise, we will forecast a mix of sun and clouds on these two days with a high close to 80 tomorrow, followed by low to mid 80s Wednesday.
Thursday looks warm and generally dry with a high in the mid 80s, but we will mention a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Friday as another surface front approaches from the north. Friday's high will be close to 80 degrees.
POTENTIALLY STORMY WEEKEND: Global models continue to show a fairly dynamic weather system that will impact Alabama over the weekend. It is very difficult to pin down the exact timing this far in advance, but based on new model data, it looks like the main window for showers and storms will come from noon Saturday until 9 a.m. Sunday. We should be able to narrow this down even more in coming days.
There will also be a risk of strong or severe storms; seems like the main threat from the stronger thunderstorms will come Saturday night. Again, too early to determine if there will be enough lift, instability and shear for a significant threat. We will know much more as the weekend gets closer.
The high Saturday will be in the 77- to 80-degree range; Sunday will be much cooler, with a high between 67 and 70 degrees.
NEXT WEEK: The week begins with a cool, dry airmass; there's a good chance we reach the 40s early Monday morning. Looks like we will have another chance of rain late in the week.
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN! The Honda Indy Grand Prix will be April 21-23 at the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park. Make plans for the event that has been voted "Best Annual Event" & "Best Sporting Event" in Birmingham. Kids 15 & younger are admitted free with a ticketed adult, and three-day general admission tickets are $69. Single-day tickets are $15. Pack a picnic cooler and bring the family out for a weekend full of activities and racing. Get tickets and more information here. For now it looks like the best chance of showers and storms over the weekend at Barber will come late Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Get the detailed race forecast here.

STORM SPOTTER TRAINING IN JASPER THURSDAY: The last spotter training event of the year will be held in Jasper Thursday; we will be at the Jasper Civic Center, and the session begins at 6:30. It is free, and there is no need to register. Just come with a curious mind.

The new class of skyscrapers that will forever change the Chicago skyline
16 March 2018
"As the birthplace of the skyscraper and home to one of the world's greatest skylines, Chicago is reinventing itself with new batch of very tall, high profile towers.
While Chicago hasn't completed an 800-footer since 2010, that's about to change and in a big way. Three projects exceeding that mark are already under construction with many more patiently waiting in the wings.
And with big name designers like Jahn, Viñoly, Stern, Pelli, Gang, Smith, and Gill on board, the newest generation of tall towers is raising the bar both literally and architecturally.
Here's a look at new class of skyscrapers that will redefine Chicago's iconic skyline.
Status: Approved
This Helmut Jahn-created condo building at 1000 S. Michigan Avenue will make a sizable impact on Chicago's southern skyline when it eventually soars 832-feet over Grant Park. The glassy skyscraper will replace a surface parking lot with 323 luxury condominiums with interiors designed by Kara Mann.
Project developers Time Equities, Oaks Capital, and JK Equities are currently pre-sales mode and have listed a number of units including a South Loop record-shattering $8.1 million penthouse. Provided sales go well, 1000M could break ground later this year.
First unveiled to the public in 2015 as an 86-story supertall comprised of offset cantilevered boxes, the design was shorted during the city approval process and redrawn into a curvy, 74-story tower seen above."
Read the full list on Curbed Chicago.

I know that it is early but we got all of our Christmas decorations put yesterday. The holidays always creep up on us and we want to enjoy all of the beautiful decorations. It also prompted me to post this recipe a little earlier than I had originally intended. This will give you time to try this one out before the holiday parties begin. It is really good frozen so make a batch or two and you'll have it ready for your party or just to nibble on while you are getting into the spirit!
Every holiday, there are treats and sweets everywhere. Work parties, customers, friends, family events…the list goes on and on. You will not feel deprived with these little sweet treats at your disposal. Like any chocolate though, you have to be mindful of your portion size. This is not something that you want to mindlessly eat. You could definitely graze on this not realizing the amount of carbs you are ingesting. Buyer be ware, for sure!
This peppermint bark will be the highlight of your holiday season. Sugar-free but they'll never know. Like any chocolate, you need to mind your portion size but for a quick chocolate and peppermint fix, this will fit the bill!
- 2 tbsp. coconut oil
- 160 g (1 cup) Lilly's Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 60 g (2 tbsp.) cacao butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp. Powdered Swerve
- 1 tsp dry milk powder
- 3 sugar-free Starlight mints, crushed
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water to a gentle boil. Place a double boiler or glass bowl over saucepan and boiling water. Add the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Continue to stir chocolate until smooth.
- Spread dark chocolate in a thin even layer on parchment lined cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator or freezer while you prepare the white chocolate.
- In a small saucepan, melt the cacao butter over medium heat. Turn off the heat and stir in the other ingredients. Let cool 2-3 minutes.
- Remove dark chocolate from refrigerator and spread the white chocolate over the top. Sprinkle with the chopped Starlight mints and return to freezer. Ensure that the chocolate that has frozen. This will make it easy to rough chop the chocolate into smaller bits.

returns a rasterized version of the displayed form of expr.
gives the element elem associated with the rasterized form of expr.
gives a list of the specified elemi.
Details and Options
- The expression expr can be graphics, text, a cell, a notebook object or any other expression.
- Rasterize[nb] gives a rasterized version of the complete content associated with the notebook object nb.
- Possible basic elements that can be returned by Rasterize include:
"BoundingBox" bounding box information for the raster "Data" the array of pixel values in the raster "Graphics" a graphics object representing the raster "Image" an image object representing the raster "RasterSize" pixel width and height of the raster "Regions" regions specified by Annotation constructs
- Rasterize[expr] is equivalent to Rasterize[expr,"Image"] and displays in a notebook in a way that approximates the unrasterized display of expr, with the same image size.
- The following options for Rasterize can be given:
Background Automatic background to use BaselinePosition Automatic how to align with a surrounding text baseline ImageFormattingWidth $ImageFormattingWidth wrapping width for expressions to be rasterized ImageResolution Automatic image resolution in dpi for rasterization ImageSize Automatic final displayed image size in printer's points RasterSize Automatic raster size in pixels for rasterization
- RasterSize and ImageResolution determine the coarseness of rasterization; ImageSize determines the size at which the final image will be displayed.
- If there is an explicit setting for RasterSize, it overrides any explicit setting for ImageResolution.
- When the settings for RasterSize or ImageResolution are small, the graphic will appear coarse, and text may be illegible. There may also be artifacts associated with aliasing.
- Settings for ImageSize and Background in Rasterize override any settings for those options in expr.
- Background->None yields a raster with a transparent background.
- If no explicit size or resolution option settings are given, Rasterize[expr,…] will rasterize expr at the size and resolution it would normally be displayed in a notebook.
- Rasterize[expr,"RasterSize"] yields {w,h}, where w is the overall width in pixels of the raster, and h is its overall height.
- Rasterize[expr,"BoundingBox"] yields {w,h,dh}, where w is the overall width, h is the overall height, and dh is the offset of the baseline of the contents of expr from the bottom of its bounding box.
- Images generated by Rasterize can vary slightly from one computer system to another, mainly as a result of different fonts and anti-aliasing procedures.
- The results from Rasterize[expr,"BoundingBox"] can depend on details of font metrics, which generally differ between different computer systems.
- Rasterize[expr,"Regions"] gives a list of rules of the form {{a1,type1}->reg1,{a2,type2}->reg2,…}, where each rule {ai,typei}->regi is associated with an annotation of the form Annotation[expr,ai,typei] in expr, or with an object that is automatically recognized as an annotation, such as a Hyperlink or Tooltip. The regi give pixel positions in the form {{xmin,ymin},{xmax,ymax}}, where y coordinates run from top to bottom, mirroring the coords attribute of HTML.

In Alaska, getting here is half the fun! Flying to Alaska, from the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Midwest, Rocky Mountains, East Coast, Germany, Japan or even China on direct, non-stop flights is the most common way to get here from wherever you may be.
Below you'll find links to the most common air carriers with non-stop flights from major cities including: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Taipei. Of course, connecting flights with as little as one stop are available from countless cities. Flight times to Anchorage aren't as far as you might think, just 3 hours from Seattle, 5 hours from Los Angeles, 5 hours from Minneapolis, 10 hours from Frankfurt and 7 hours from Tokyo.
As you approach the Anchorage airport, you'll fly right over Prince William Sound, near the ports of Whittier and Seward on the northern Kenai Peninsula, as you float over glacier-capped mountain after mountain with views of the ocean and incredible wilderness.
After landing in Anchorage, you can travel to Kenai Riverfront Resort on the Kenai River in Soldotna by rental car or rental motor home taking from 2.5~3.5 hours; or you can fly on a commuter flight in just 25 minutes. We recommend a rental car or RV, offering great flexibility and the ability to easily stop along the way for photos at the many beautiful vantage points along the highway.
For other destinations in Alaska, such as Denali National Park or Fairbanks, you can travel by train on the Alaska Railroad. The Alaska Railroad offers deluxe dome sightseeing class service as well as basic coach class service if you're on a budget. We recommend the deluxe dome for the best experience though! Tracks run from Anchorage north through Denali National Park, approximately 8 hours, to Fairbanks, 4 hours past Denali. You can also take the train south past Alyeska Ski Resort in the Girdwood Valley to the port of Whittier just 1.5 hours south of Anchorage, or to the port of Seward, about 2.5 hours further.
Water options in Alaska, aboard the Alaska Marine Highway System are plentiful as well. High speed and standard speed ferry service, with staterooms optional, is available throughout south central Alaska, connecting the ports of Prince William Sound, Kachemak Bay, and Kodiak Island; as well longer distance trips in Southeast Alaska connecting Washington State with the ports of the Alaska panhandle–Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka, and Skagway/Haines.
Traveling to the Kenai River in Soldotna, Alaska is easy!
Below are some of the travel options with flights, rental cars, train, cruise ship and Alaska Marine Highway Ferry that we would recommend.
Our favorite airline for flying to Alaska from the western United States (and more locations in the midwest and east all the time) is:
Alaska Airlines offers non-stop service from Anchorage to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Honolulu and Kahului (Maui).
Flying time from Seattle to Anchorage is just around 3 hours. Alaska Airlines also serves the entire west coast, Arizona, Minnesota, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Dallas, Washington D.C., New York, Miami, Orlando, Mexico, Hawaii and more destinations all the time.
From Minneapolis, Minnesota you can also fly Delta or Sun Country Airlines – Charter Service
JetBlue Airways recently announced non-stop flights from its hub, Long Beach, CA, beginning in May.
Delta Airlines flies year-round, non-stop flights from Anchorage to Minneapolis-St. Paul and Salt Lake City. During the summer, routes from Atlanta, Chicago and Detroit are also available.
United Airlines has flights from Chicago, Atlanta and most other major hubs.
American Airlines is a partner with Alaska Airlines, so you generally will be flying on an Alaska Airlines jet if you book with American.
Traveling internationally to Alaska?
Condor Airlines (a subsidiary of Lufthansa) operates charter flights at least once per week from early May to early October. The flight route is between Frankfurt & Anchorage, and the flight lasts approximately 10 hours. Round trip tickets can be found during the early and late season for as little as $500~$600 if you're lucky!
Icelandair began service a few years ago with flights to Alaska from Europe, most with stops in Reykjavik in competition with Condor.
Edelweiss Airlines, based in Switzerland, recently announced weekly service between Anchorage and Zurich. The return flight makes a stop in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.
JAL operates charter flights in the summer to Anchorage, and in the late winter/spring they operate the famous Aurora Borealis charters from Tokyo's Narita airport to Fairbanks, Alaska.
China Airlines operates flights between Anchorage and Taipei.
Flying to the Kenai Peninsula from Anchorage?
For flights between Anchorage International Airport and Kenai Municipal Airport (located just 10 minutes away) we recommend:
Raven Air Alaska
Grant Aviation
For rental cars in Anchorage or Kenai, we recommend:
Thrifty Car Rental
For travel to Alaska by cruise ship, we recommend:
For travel to Alaska by the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry system, please visit:
The Alaska Marine Highway System

text: France's Marine Le Pen, left, is an important ally of Geert Wilders in European politics [Alessandro Garofalo/[Reuters] Geert Wilders, the Dutch right-wing politician who was acquitted five years ago of making anti-Islam remarks, is going on trial in the Netherlands again for allegedly inciting hatred against the country's Moroccan minority. The case on Friday comes as Wilders and other populist politicians - including Donald Trump in the United States and Marine le Pen in France - have stepped up calls for a ban on Muslim immigration. State prosecutors say Wilders asked a crowd of supporters in March 2014 whether they wanted more or fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands, triggering the chant: "Fewer! Fewer! Fewer!" - to which a smiling Wilders responded: "We'll take care of that." The lawmaker faces one charge of discrimination and a second for inciting hatred of Moroccans, who make up about 2 percent of the population of roughly 17 million. Dutch politician Wilders sued over 'fewer Moroccans' vow In addition to the "fewer" comment, Wilders referred to Moroccans as "scum" in a television broadcast. He may go to jail for as long as a year and could be fined a maximum of 7,400 euros ($8,400). Wilders, whose decade-old Freedom Party holds a commanding lead in Dutch popular opinion polls but has never been in power, denies any wrongdoing. On my way to court in police escort. No one will silence me. No terrorist, no prime minister and no court either. — Geert Wilders (@geertwilderspvv) March 18, 2016 Wilders has lived under 24-hour protection since the 2004 murder of Theo van Gogh, who - like Wilders - made films criticising Islam. In a previous case, Wilders was acquitted in 2011 after calling for a "towel-head" tax and equating the Koran with Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. He had said at the time that "Muslim criminals" should be stripped of their Dutch nationality and deported. Judges concluded that Wilders' remarks may have been rude, but he was let off because they targeted a religion, not a race. "That is the difference now," prosecution spokeswoman Ilse de Heer said. 'Targeting specific race' Friday's prosecution is different because his remarks "targeted a specific race, which is considered a crime". Wilders had called on Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Deputy Prime Lodewijk Asscher to be interrogated in court, but the judge rejected that, according to the Dutch daily newspaper AD. The AD also reported that two of Wilders' witness experts pulled out for fear for their safety or of being drawn into his camp. The hearing at a high-security courtroom next to Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is frequently used for cases involving organised crime. In France in December, Le Pen was acquitted of charges of inciting hatred against French Muslims for comparing Muslims praying in the street to the German occupation of France during World War Two.

Math Placement
Why is math placement so important?
Your success at New Mexico Tech is very important to us. We want you to be successful in your math courses and confident in your math skills. Math is integral to all science and engineering disciplines. A strong math foundation can contribute substantially to both your time at college and your future career.
Entry Math Level
Entry math level helps determine your first semester courses at New Mexico Tech. When you look in the course catalog, you will see that many courses have a math pre-requisite or co-requisite. The general courses in Chemistry, Physics and Engineering Science have specific math requirements. For example, you need to be co-registered in MATH 103 Pre-Calculus in order to take Introduction to Engineering. You need to place into MATH 104 Trigonometry or higher to take General Chemistry I. General Physics I requires MATH 131 Calculus I placement or above. You have the most course options when you start at MATH 131 Calculus I.
Math placement is initially determined by your ACT/SAT scores:
|ACT Math Score
|SAT Math Score
(Calculus I)
|30 or above
|670 or above
You may also start at the MATH 131 level if:
- You are transferring in college credit in pre-calculus and trigonometry (having earned at least a C- in these courses)
- You have earned a 3 or higher on the AP Calculus Exam (earning a 4 or 5 gets your into MATH 132 - Calculus II)
- If you have qualified based on the New Mexico Tech optional Math Placement Exam
Should I try to move ahead in my math placement? How can I move ahead in my math placement?
First, you need to evaluate how comfortable you are with your math placement. If you feel that the placement is an accurate representation of your math skills, then stay in the course that corresponds to your math placement. If you think that your math skills correspond to the next level, take the math placement test. If you want to get ahead on math before you arrive at NMT, take a math course over the summer at your local community college:
Math Placement TestNew Mexico Tech offers an optional, online math placement exam. Email email@example.com to request access to the test. Include your name and NMT Banner Student ID number. Take the test as soon as possible. This will leave you with the option to enroll in a summer math course in case you don't pass the test.
If you do not know your login information, please contact Jeannette in the TCC at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Summer Math CourseTake a Pre-Calculus or Trigonometry or even Calculus course over the summer to move ahead. Take it at your local community college. Earn at least a C to be able to transfer the credits. Contact Lisa Majkowski at the Office for Student Learning (email@example.com) or Brian Borchers at the Math Department (email@example.com) to find out which math course at your local college corresponds to the New Mexico Tech requirements.
You are now part of the New Mexico Tech community and the greater community of science and engineering. We are confident that you are on the path to academic success and a fulfilling college experience. Please let us know how we can help along the way.

Latest pic of Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet
I visited Yili Yining in Xinjiang Province last Sept
When I was leaving I decided to buy a few mementos, first an English language description of the SAR and its special touristic features. Then I bought a small bracelet that features a left facing svasticka symbol along with a set of nice stones.
More than one person has wondered why I should have bought such a controversial artifact. I have always said that the left facing svastika had some connection with Buddhism and peace. Here is an authentic sounding explanation copied in from Wikipedia:
The paired swastika symbols are included, at least since the Liao Dynasty, as part of the Chinese language, the symbolic sign for the character 萬 or 万 (wàn in Mandarin, man in Korean, Cantonese and Japanese, vạn in Vietnamese) meaning "all" or "eternality" (lit.myriad) and as 卐, which is seldom used. The swastika marks the beginning of many Buddhist scriptures. The swastika (in either orientation) appears on the chest of some statues of Gautama Buddha and is often incised on the soles of the feet of the Buddha in statuary.
My family and emotional connections with this fractious world is so varied and light that I feel ok about wearing a semi-religious symbol that is connected to so many East Asian cultures and quasi religious origins.
I kind of like the sense that I feel ok wearing a symbol that has such a complex history.

Her Flickr handle is Sexy Red and she obviously is a Red Head.
I have a red-headed lady friend from the Carp area outside of Ottawa. I have never seen any images of her or views in the flesh, but I can imagine that she would compete handsomely with Sexy Red.
For you boys out there with erotic tastes I highly recommend you click here!
Zemanta has offered an image of Mary Magdalene for this post and I have accepted it. Nice contrast and more than one red-head.
I well remember from over 20 years ago a late night tryst with a lady who was red haired all over! A memory, sadly unrepeated that I cherish!

A few weeks ago I saw Mary McAleese, the former President of Ireland from between 1997 – 2011, speak in Adelaide. I can confidently say she is one of the most inspiring, powerful and visionary leaders and advocates of peace, justice and reconciliation I have ever had the privilege to see and listen to in person.
One of the big lessons I learned from listening to her was her strategy in ensuring lasting and real peace and reconciliation in Ireland and with the UK. The lesson was this – if you really want to reconcile your differences and want to establish real peace, then you must be open-minded and take the time to get to know the other party on a personal level before you even start talking about the hard stuff. If you meet them and immediately start talking about the difficult topics or the ones you think you may disagree on, then a relationship breakdown is more likely to happen and be even more ingrained and you will both walk away thinking that there won't be a chance in the world you'll ever agree or settle, amongst other things!
However if you first sit down with the other person and get to know them personally and find out what you've got in common, for example – asking them about their family, their interests, and what they like to do in their spare time, you are more likely to find out what you both have in common and you've established a base foundation for a potential friendship which allows you to more comfortably move onto the harder issues.
I believe that this is applicable not just in international relations, but in all relationships whether they be work, friendship or romantic where the intention is to build strong long-term, lasting relationships. The key however is to ensure that you don't become too focussed in the small things that you lose sight of the bigger picture or forget to tackle the more complex and conflicting issues at stake.
When building relationships remember: start with the small things, and the rest will follow.

Anyone with a driver's license in Pennsylvania is expected to operate his or her vehicle safely, which includes paying attention to the road. Unfortunately, there are a number of people who drive while distracted. Whether it is a phone, a music player, another passenger or something else entirely, distractions put drivers and other motorists at risk. It is bad enough when everyday drivers are distracted, but it is even worse when the driver is a professional.
While it is still unclear what caused a serious truck accident in Williams Township, it is very possible that a truck driver was not paying attention to the road as he approached the toll plaza on Interstate 78 West. According to one witness, a tractor-trailer truck smashed into the back of a stopped car at full speed. The car had just finished paying at the toll booth and the truck just decimated the vehicle. Unfortunately, the driver of the car was killed in the crash.
The Pennsylvania State Police troopers are continuing to investigate the accident, including why the trucker did not slow or stop as it approached the toll booth. Though the toll plaza has seen its fair share of accidents, one employee for the Interstate 78 welcome center says that most of the accidents are at slow speeds.
After the collision, the tractor-trailer and car both caught fire.
These kinds of accidents are tragic, especially since truck drivers are supposed to be professional drivers whose job it is to operate their vehicles with others' safety in mind. Fortunately, there are often legal remedies available to those injured in trucking accidents.

Looks like rain…
G'day. Thursday.
Had a very good dinner last night with the colourful Chester Osborn, the d'Arenberg winemaker. He bundled into the restaurant carrying a box of wines – one already decanted! – not his own wines but a Bordeaux and Barolo from his own cellar. Very good too.
I've met a few, let's say 'inspired' winemakers in my time but the extrovert Chester, with his long curly locks, amazingly colourful taste in shirts and his let's enjoy life attitude is a notch up from most. Another great family company, Chester now makes wine in the cellars built by his grandfather.
The McLaren Vale, where the d'Arenberg wines hail from, has some of the oldest vines in the country, dating back to 1850. A short drive south from Adelaide the area has a Mediterranean climate, a huge diversity of soil types and cooling sea breezes which make it an ideal place for growing wine grapes. There's also a great food culture here with abundant local produce.
The d'Arenberg wines with such names as The Footbolt, Laughing Magpie and Dead Arm Shiraz all have a story to tell about the history or the region it's from. We must have tasted over 20 wines at the cellar door, all of which were great, from Old Vine Grenache through to sticky dessert wines.
Next call was to a fairly new winery, Mollydooker. Sparky and Sarah Marquis are making some of the most massive, dense reds I've ever tasted. You end up saying "Wow" a lot. These are not wines for the faint-hearted and if you like deep, dark fruit and huge concentration in your wine then look out for these in the future. And the labels are brilliant too.
From South of Adelaide to the North and up to the world-famous Barossa Valley. Historically, the Barossa has been the spiritual home of the Australian wine industry. The first vines here were planted in the mid-19th century by German immigrants keen to recreate the wines of their homeland – hence Riesling was a popular choice. Today the Barossa is best known for its Shiraz. Due to strict quarantine restrictions in the 1800s, the vineyards did not suffer from phylloxera or the many other diseases that have wiped out other wine regions during the last two hundred years. So Australia's oldest Shiraz vines still live on in the Barossa from low yielding dry grown bush vines that produce highly concentrated, lush, complex, rich, intense, and full-bodied wines. Yum.
I met with the guys at the Peter Lehmann winery and cellar door, who were a little worried about the forecast for rain tomorrow. It's been a fairly wet season by Barossa standards with quite a number of 'rain events' as they like to call them. Rain at this time of the season can be bad news for the grapes on the vine as the damp can lead to disease and spoilt, diluted fruit.
We tasted the recent releases, some new wines to their range and some nice older vintages of some of their classic wines, such as the Barossa Shiraz. I've decided to have 3 WsOTD today – greedy I know but some days one just won't do. Firstly a tank sample of the 2010 Carnival of Love Shiraz from Mollydooker – just huge and full and wow! Then I couldn't make my mind up between Clancys Red 2008 and the Stonewell Shiraz 2006 from Lehmann. The Clancy's – a red blend of Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot – because it's drinking so well now and is brilliant value for money and the Stonewell had such great length and richness. And some of those d'Arenberg wines were so good too – Maybe I'll have four WOTD tomorrow!
My new Aussie word of the day is "Bogan" which I'm told is the Oz equivalent of a pikey or chav. Try it out on your Australian acquaintances and make their day.

Rock 'n' roll is ethnic, pagan, and revolutionary
Malcolm McLaren, former manager of The New York Dolls, The Sex Pistols, Adam Ant and Bow Wow Wow, is self-styled catalyst in the world's musical revolutions. As market leader of the ethnic plunderers, he seemed the only choice to make sense of 'borrowed music' in a year in which neither nostalgia nor the African heartbeat was safe—
ENGLAND'S GREATEST TALENT was punk. It's second greatest talent is being presenters, plunderers and pirates. We think with our heads and not with our hips. England is not the cradle of musical inspiration. It's a fallacy that was born out of the Beatles. In any event, the Beatles best inspiration was to imitate black music coming from America and so it was with The Rolling Stones who used more rootsy origins like Africa. Rock'n'roll is ethnic, is jungle, is magic, is primitive, is in its origins African and in its inspirations African, and finally, black, pagan, anti-Western, anti-capitalist and unavoidably, revolutionary, but it only took one white presenter to change all that, Elvis Presley.
Music has a magical air and is, in essence, something that makes everyone want to step out. That's what rock'n'roll is all about. And I need that. What has happened over the last few years is that the pre-conditioning and evaluation of what a pop record has got to be, has made all English music become something which doesn't have in its essence rock'n'roll and I use that word not as a cliche, not as a term for old-fashioned music, but what music has been all about to date. Music that makes people want to step out.
It is the physical source, the true embodiment of what is magical inside your body. In America today, it seems to be that most people who buy music tend to be black, and the reason they buy music is because they still use it as a practical means of communication with each other. I think white people are in danger of losing that.
That practical use of music probably harks back to deepest Africa, to the oldest civilisation in the world, the African, and to their music. In essence, they were, and still are, the origins of rock'n'roll. It's important to discover that point in order for us not to keep continuing to package music, with the advent of the producer being the most important person and guardian angel of an industry wishing to foster upon people only something that has been predetermined and considered saleable.
No great music in the course of rock'n'roll has ever been written from the point of view about selling it. It is interesting to note here that the beats of African music are often hidden in the spaces between the beats. This may have been done subconsciously to prevent them from being stolen, or indeed consciously, to retain the original unfettered unsaleable spirit.
The African tribes are the oldest civilisation in the world and its music the most sophisticated. Rock'n'roll existed long before Beethoven, Bach, Cole Porter, or indeed Jesus Christ. And we in England are still attempting in 1982, with a fifth generation of pirates to bottle this elixir of life. But the chemicals are so weak now and so poor that we have lost all understanding of what we are trying to cure!
Unlike The Beatles, unlike the Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols didn't have it at all, it was too weak by then; Instead, what they demonstrated, was not a musical talent but something more traditionally English, story telling and styling attitudes more to do with Charles Dickens than Muddy Waters. That appears now to be misguided, but it was England's most original contribution to rock'n'roll. And we therefore, as barbarians, continue to need to plunder and sell. We don't get excited just moving with a constant rhythm, we always get bored. We constantly need to be entertained—
Punk was at its most spiritual in the Sex Pistols, and was at its most product orientated in The Jam. But rock'n'roll is always at its best when it has imperfections, and always at its worst when those imperfections are padded out by the celebrated producers that are around today. The original sin, the bum note, has vanished. The spontaneous vulgarity has been polished off.
We're all perverts frolicking in our own shit without a care for the world outside and yet the world is getting smaller. We are closer in spirit to El Salvador than we are maybe to West Germany. Learning to live with less than more is the problem of the '80s—
Long live pirate Radio. Long live the winter and the summer and the rain and the snow and the Buffalo—
MALCOLM McLAREN

The forest drew them in. They had to hide it somewhere. It was heavy and not even the two of them together got the job done easily. Autumn leaves covered the moist ground creating a tapestry of color. Focused on the task, they were oblivious of the witness standing by critically watching the strangers dig.

Even though it's against the law, and the
church says it's wrong, I'm not in awe as
I stuff the gun barrel into my mouth knowing
it'll end this dreary life.
I'm brave because I know my soul won't
remain in the grave like a Christian waiting
for Jesus to come out of the sun as the one
who'll announce the end of days.
I don't believe my body and soul will be
resurrected when I hear the words of God that
say, "You'll be made whole and will crawl
from the grave to live again when the world ends."
Memories of past lives abound in my mind
and most of them are gems and better than
the one I've lived this time around so deep
in slime that I need to end it to begin again.
Memories that keep me awake are ones where
I've been an insect, an animal, and even once
a snake. Not one of these lives was lived as cruelly
lived as this human one, so I pray my next life will be as a bug.
I break the law and pull the trigger only to discover
an instant before I die that my memories of living before
are there because a man named Buzz said,
"Take this and see." And he gave me some LSD.

Before Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez passed away, he set up some extremely limiting policies that have had devastating effects on the country's economy. His successor, President Nicolas Maduro, has increased the damage done by acting as more of a dictator over the already stressed population. In fact, his reign of terror recently lead the United States President Barack Obama to place sanctions on him and other members of his staff because of their sickening treatment of Venezuelan citizens. These sanctions revoked Maduro's ability to enter the United States and froze all of his assets located there as well.
Many political leaders according to a Corporation Wiki survey have taken notice of Maduro's obvious abuse of power as he drives the country further into economic devastation each day that passes. Still, the U.S. sanctions are being questioned because the country is already in such bad economic shape that they barely have any food for the people living there. For many years now, Venezuela has focused on oil production instead of growing their own crops. Because of this, they have had to import the majority of all their food, and this has been deemed the source of economic trouble for them. People like Norka Luque claiming to be food importers are selling crops for one price then trading their income on the black market for a higher price. Concerns for the starts of a potential civil war taking place due to the poor conditions has lead to even stricter government control, which many worry will cause further backlash.

Posted by Anonymous
Question Description:
I worked online for 30 days in November 2012 on part time basis as a Content Writer in Jaipur for a person who claims to represent an Advertising company in Jaipur itself. But I saw that he acted in a dubious manner with respect to the job-related issues, payment, and who my actual employer is. So much so, he wasn't even ready to acknowledge in writing that I was working part time, so I eventually quit the job. The money that he offered me for the writing work has also not seen the light of day till date. He doesn't even reply to my repeated emails in this respect. He doesn't even have the courtesy of answering the phone whenever I ring him up.1. What can I do to get my remuneration?
