White Paper on International Development, 'Eliminating world poverty: Making governance work for the poor' (2006)
Consultation paper with contributions from over 600 MPs, organisations and people, written by DFID in consultation with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), Whitehall and other partners.
Author/Publisher: DFID - Department for International Development
Language: English
Download: PDF
The White Paper sets out DFIDs priorities and explains how we will work with the rest of UK Government, partner governments, international organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), academics and the private sector to fulfil the promises made in 2005 to significantly reduce world poverty.The White Papers main messages are:
- We will deliver the promises we made in 2005 by: increasing our development budget to 0.7% of gross national income by 2013; concentrating our resources on the poorest countries particularly sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia and working more in fragile states; making sure that wider UK policies support development; and doubling funding for science and technology.
- We will put governance at the centre of our work focusing on building states that are capable, responsive and accountable to their citizens. We will use a new framework for assessing the quality of governance to do this and use the assessment to tailor our support appropriately to country circumstances. We will also step up our efforts dramatically to tackle corruption internationally, for example through a new anti-corruption unit and follow up to Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
- We will increase our effort to help people have security, incomes through growth and public services. We will commit 50% of all future bilateral aid to public services for poor people - social protection will be a major new area of work.
- We will work internationally to tackle climate change, by helping developing countries to participate in international negotiations on climate change and to integrate adaptation to climate change impacts into their development programmes.
- We will help create an international system fit for the 21st century, focusing on UN reform, a more effective and responsive World Bank, IMF and regional banks, and closer working relationships with EU Member States and the EC to ensure that EU aid is effective and that non-aid policies support development.

Bearing mounting and removing in skates
Mounting instructions
The following instructions concern inline skates, quads, skateboards and scooters. Two bearings separated by a spacer are mounted per skate wheel. Whatever the shape and size of the spacer, the bearings are mounted in the same way.
.Removing instructions
Bearings must be removed carefully; otherwise there is a risk to destroy them or to make them dirtier than they were before. Bearings should be removed in following cases:
Change or interchange wheels when worn
Change when wheels are blocked or rolling badly
Re-lubricate the bearings
Clean the bearings.
Important observations: in-line or skateboard or quads wheels are not designed for easy bearing removal. So, if you remove them without care, there is risk to damage the bearing raceways. To do it properly recommends to use a bearing press (see photo). If you don't have it, the only way to remove the bearings is to use a handy tool with a hook at one end (see photo).
Here are examples of 2 cases for different axle diameters.
Axle of 6 mm diameter:
Push on the spacer
That will push out the opposite bearing
Extract the spacer
Hook the inner diameter and extract the second bearing.
Axle of 8 mm diameter:
Hook the inner diameter of a bearing and extract it
The spacer comes out easily hook the inner diameter of the second bearing and extract it

Jeremy4 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 79 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
We run a small offline automated testing consultancy. We are looking to make our mark online by creating an automated testing community site with Blog, Forums, Online Training and various automated testing related content. We like to have fun and enjoy the art of automated testing, while at the same time we need to project a professional image. Just not a typical uptight corporate image.
We are targeting fresh graduates or testers looking to make the move to Automated Testing, Or seasoned professional looking to perfect their trade.
The site will be called test-bot (think testing robots) and will focus on automated testing. So a tech oriented logo that incorporates some sort of robotics (perhaps a robotic arm, or an entire robot.) Being that we are an automated testing company something that incorporates automation and perhaps quality checking would be ideal.
A couple of things to think about:
1. Please don't go overboard on the robot part, we are not looking for Mech-Warriors style stuff, more like Robots the movie.
2. Please no clip art or stock images.
3. Feel free to choose whatever colors you like.
Here is an example of a design that we like the "high-tech" aspect:
Please incorporate the name Test-Bot or Test-Bot.com in the logo.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Found 1 in room 129 tonight September 18 2015. I did itch on my foot last night and thought it was mosquito bites. I will talk with management and see what they say
Anonymous on 10/13/2011
I saw one bug and management changed my room immediately. Also noticed they're ripping out carpets and putting nice hardwood floors. The manager stays on top of things at this hotel at all times. This occurred on 9-24-2011

As of November 11th, 2010, there are still bed begs here. I stayed in room 214, and, BLAM!, they got me.
Stosh on 07/03/2010
I'd lived in the Stanley from 1990 to 2009. I first heard of bed bugs from a tenant down the hall, Rm. 224. A year before I moved out. Six months later I began to see them in my room, #228. By the time I moved out, 4 months later, I knew half a dozen tenants who'd complained of infestation. This is a transient hotel, so it's not surprising that it should have happened.
bob on 03/05/2010
rented weekly room at Stanley hotel, found half dozen bugs late that night (3/3/2010) on bed, identified them the following day, changed rooms. Found more bedbugs (not as many) in second room that night (3/4/2010), though its unclear whether they may have hitched a ride in my own stuff from 1st room. Manager called in pest control, said another resident had bombed after told not to. (apparently, bombing just spreads them to other rooms). Other residents i spoke to had not seen problem, as yet.

Q. there are two bags A and B; bag A contains 2 white and 3 black balls; bag B contains 3 white and 4 black balls. A bag is chosen at random find the probability that the ball drawn is white.
My answer : I am OK with P(W) = P(A,W)+ P(B,W)= 1/2 * 2/5 + 1/2 * 3/7 = 29/70 OK !!
but if I want to solve the same problem using the classical approach,
n(E) number of ways of selecting white ball
P(W) = ---- = ---------------------------------------------- then what ????
n(s) total number of ways of drawing a ball
I think! the no. of selecting white balls should be = (number of ways of selecting a bag = 2) * [(either take white ball from A = 2
ways) + (either take white ball from B = 3 ways)]= 10 ways ----------------------- but I know it is wrong.
I am confused and unable about Finding the number of ways of selecting white balls and total number of ways of drawing a balls.
the conditional probability problems can not be solved using n(E)/n(S) approach ??????? ------- but why ??
Please help me soon I am in a great need of it Thanks in advance.
hi ashmath,
I don't know if my tree diagram will help but let's find out.
There are got fifths and sevenths so I want a number that can be divided into both ... ie 35
And I want equal chances of choosing A or B so I'll double that to 70.
So now imagine I repeat the experiment exactly 70 times and the breaks are exactly according to the 'law of averages'
The diagram shows the 70 outcomes. This demonstrates why the formula works and allows you to 'go back to basics'

Thanks a lot but can u explain it a bit more
hi ashmath
I'll try.
Firstly, go back to the definition:
So, how to work out the total number of outcomes?
My approach is to imagine the 'experiment' is repeated again and again until every event has had a fair chance to occur. The key here is what do I mean by a fair chance.
For bag A there are 5 balls so I can get the probabilities just by saying 'total number of outcomes' = 5.
For bag B in the same way 'total number of outcomes' = 7
So how to fairly decide on the number when either bag may be picked.
If I pick from bag A 35 times (5x7) then P(W) = 14/35 and P(B) = 21/35
and for bag B, I would get P(W) = 15/35 and P(B) = 20/35
So I can treat A and B fairly by having 35 trials for A and 35 trials for B.
So I'll have 70 trials altogether.
70 splits like this P(A) = 35/70 and P(B) = 35/70
Then use the probabilities above to get P(A & W) = 14/70 P(A & B) = 21/35 P(B & W) = 15/70 P(B & B) = 20/35
Then I can see that 'total number of outcomes' = 70
'Number of ways W happens' = 14 + 15 = 29
So P(W) = 29/70
Hope that helps,

Channels (in order of priority)
- Download
- Local Contacts (in Person)
- Local Contacts (by Mail)
- Fedora/Linux events
- Buy from vendors
- Free media
Detailed description of channels
- Helper tool to easily select what to download and provide a link.
- A helper matrix for example?
Local Contacts (in person)
- We maintain a list of volunteers (people add their names to it).
- Contact an Ambassador.
- Get a time slot.
- Go get media burnt.
- Some place needed to maintain records.
- A Wiki page?
- Free media trac system? Ambassador opens a ticket himself?
- A separate ticket system? Only for use by Ambassadors?
Local Contacts (by mail)
- Maintain a list of volunteers (people add their names to it)
- Contact Ambassador
- Send blank media and return envelope (or send money, whatever, to be decided by requester and Ambassador)
- Ambassador files a ticket, so we can maintain records.
- We need to somehow be able to check that people do service the requests after receiving blank media.
- How will this be implemented?
- Only volunteers should be able to view info of requester.
- make them a part of the free media group?
- Needs discussion.
- Keep the list up to date.
- Already working pretty well.
- Any improvements?
Buy from vendors
- Invite vendors, it's free marketing for them.
- Ping them once every quarter?
- Man power needed to do this (or a team)
- Can we look to the marketing team for help? (This is marketing, isn't it?)
- Once in 3 weeks (a suitable time period) we can have a thread and people will hopefully volunteer to check out some sites. Doesn't have to be a fixed team.
- We can announce an updated vendors list every quarter?
- Co-ordination with vendors will be needed (a specific ML that they can join?)
Free media
- Two per month is requested.
- home made media.
- If a volunteer wants, he can sponsor media by using an on line vendor to provide someone media (Distribution/SponsoredMedia SponsoredMedia)
- To be maintained by Susmit, Frank, Neville (the already appointed team?)
- Used for sponsored media (see above).
- Should the collected amount etc. be public? Ie, contributors should be able to look at a page to see the stats of donations?
Comment: I think that as we are dealing with money, we should be as transparent as possible. The first thing that people will wonder is how this money collected is converted to media, so we have to have kind of account records: incomes vs. expenses. Probably expenses linked to tickets. The second question may be is the whole money donated displayed? Shoul we print monthly activities of paypal account? Don't get me wrong, I am not saying some misuse of found has or will happened. Just playing devil's advocated. --Yn1v 19:10, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Tell other people that we are wanting to work on this.
- List of volunteers willing to work on these.
- Check with board that we are to take over this.
- Check with others teams that may something to say/contribute

What Next?
2005 is coming to a close and it's time to look forward. The beginning of every new year is filled with so much promise. We start the annual process known as "getting our acts together" on January 1st. We tell friends & family that we're going to improve our lives in one way or another. There's an energy and enthusiasm that seems palpable. Everyone is talking about quitting smoking or starting projects or losing weight and getting fit. It's fun to be around people when they talk like this. The focus is so positive. There's never any talk about obstacles or failure. We clean our slates of the muck and mire, look to the future, and set goals with exuberance. A brand new attitude to kick off the new year.
Why the hell does it all fade away? Why isn't this mojo sustainable for most people? Where does all the energy and enthusiasm go? The short answer is; happy thoughts are easy, action is hard. Talking a good game is an American pastime. Talk is cheap. Talk doesn't cook rice. Great Americans turn their hopes and dreams into something real with persistent action. An un-relenting constant movement forward. The ups and downs, twists and turns don't detour them. This is behavior that must be learned. It doesn't just happen based on some nice thoughts about the future. If you've started something and could not finish it then you weren't ready in the first place. The foundation and plan were never in place on day one.
If you really want to succeed, if you really want to see something through to the end, then you need a new approach. You need deadlines, goals and help. This is why Power90 has worked so well for so many people. There is a start date and an end date. You stick with it because I guarantee that if you do what I tell you to do then great change will happen. You take your photos, your measurements and your weight and you begin to move your body. You get into the boards, chat rooms and WOWY and get connected with other people who need you as much as you need them. Success is achievable because this system is time tested.
If you take this simple system and apply it to all other aspects of life then they will dramatically improve as well. From finance to romance deadlines, goals and help are how you get there. Winging it with happy thoughts will surely fail. Deadlines and goals can and will change sometimes (that's okay) but if you continue to seek help from people you trust then the process and journey are enjoyable and rewarding. With the new year fast approaching it's time to see if you're willing to apply a method to your gladness. See if you can turn positive wishes into substantial life long change.

Spot on, Tony, once again! I LOVE WOWY for exactly what you said: A Plan! I schedule my workouts a week at a time, commit to my buddies and then show up! Sure, I miss a few due to oversleeping, kids throwing up during the night, etc, but I get back on the horse, so to speak, and keep crushing it! My progress is slow in the weight loss department, but my eating is good, my intensity is getting higher, and my outlook is bright!
Like you said in your last mailbag to Miss MaryCecy, it's not about how I am looking, though that is an added perk! It's about my health, my ability to play with my kids, my longing to be around to see and play (yes, and compete!) with my grandkids!! What a blessing that would be!
Cheers and have a great New Year's celebration!! Are you WOWY'ing on the first??? It would put so much energy in everyone's workout! I'm w/o with Carl! Yay! See ya!

Tony, my man! You couldn't have pinpointed it any better! I had a dream last night that we had a NY Fitness Camp reunion and I was so ashamed that I hadn't really gotten very far since July. Then it dawned on me that New Year's Resolutions were right around the corner and I was faced with the actual reunion next July! OMG! So yes, I will talk the talk, but I also have to walk the lunge-walks in order to face myself (and you) come July (and the rest of my life)!
I'm still with ya! Just need an extra boost!
Love ya - Di (Dance10)

Health is my main priority in doing this. Looking good is something I have always wanted to have. The "looking good" feeling I get inside is what I am looking for. So yes, I am ready for the down days, the days I get sick, the days that it seems like there isn't enough minutes in the day. I am just going to start the day with a natural High: Working out and eating right from the get go.
Anyway, Wowy has been scheduled for over a month and I got my new SHOX!! I have the shopping for part of the week completed and I am ready to get the food ready to go. No excuses. It is all Up from here on. OR DOWN in weight and size from now on!!
See ya in WOWY, Chat or the MSG Boards!! Life is too precious to waste it!
XOXO Happy New Year
I am so full of energy and motivation, I am going to explode.
Thanks Tony for always been there for me and for many.

Great post! I started P90 on 14-Nov-05 and am glad to say that I have stayed on schedule without missing a single workout. When I'm not happy with the mirror I change my focus to successfully completing P90.
I'll be checking back to re-read this post when I need motivation.
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, motivation and love of life Tony! Here's to you reaching all of your 2006 goals!

I am coming up on three years of 'sticking to it'...on Jan 28th as a matter of fact! I am in the best shape of my life! I love being fit ever so much more than sleep walking through my day and living for a good nap on the couch.
Thanks for making the majority of those days fun for me!! I love that you like to shake things up and keep it fun!! (I know I have told you that many times before) Just know that you help me live it here in my world!
THANKS BUDDY!! Deevs

Happy New Year Tony!! Your workouts and your commitment to be my fitness inspiration really helped me focus on my health in 2005 when I could have been focusing on some other stuff that is best not to focus on.
I just did my monthly statistics. I can't say that my weight and measurments are success story material, but for me they are. I'm not fatter than I was a year ago. I carried my skis from hear to there with lots of energy this week. I had the patience to ski with my son instead of putting him in ski school. Maybe I didn't get in that one extra challenging run, but I got to spend quality time of the highest sort with the most important person in my life. On my break the one feeling that I had was euphoria. I was high on mountain air and moving. I didn't have any aches or pains.
This year I am setting specific goals and time frames for my workouts. As much as I dread it I am focusing on my thigh measurment for how I am doing. That's one of my most resistent area of my body.
Now were my mind is concerned...I have to journal my food. For me it's not what I put in my mouth that makes or breaks my weight loss success it is how much. I love so many foods (and most of them are healthy) I have a lot of choices. I would eat three breakfasts 2 lunches and 4 dinners for wanting not to miss out on some yummy choice hehehehe. When I write it down and quantify it I have to think. I must say this is a very hard thing to do consistently over time. There are great tools that I use, but it is very time consuming. I am going to commit to doing it this month.
Keep up the good work Tony! Hope to chat with you soon! Love ya!!

Just before I read this blog, I finished setting some goals and a plan in my WOWY diary for 2006. I agree completely that it's so important to have goals, deadlines, and the wonderful support that we all get here on the Beachbody website.
Unfortunately, I now have a knee injury to go along with my chronic tennis elbow. I'm working on (or around) those problems, though. I went to a sports medicine doctor for my elbow, and I'm now getting physical therapy for it. (BTW, I loaned the physical therapist my P90 DVD and she was quite impressed with your workouts and expertise.) I'm resting my knee right now to give it a chance to heal, and today I started to take Glucosamine and Chondroitin for my joints. If my knee doesn't improve, I'll see a doctor for it.
This doesn't mean I stop all workouts, though. I can still work my abdominals and can experiment with activities that don't bother my knee or elbow.
My big focus right now, and the most needed one, is to clean up my diet. It hasn't been good for quite a while now, but that will change today. I will again start to journal my food and to focus on eating right--lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains!
This year I plan to get my elbow and knee healthy again so I can get back to your workouts that I love. I plan to be back in "Hawaii" shape by fitness camp time! :-)

I must say that you are quite the motivator. No one was able to get me up off my lazy butt until Power 90. Thank you, my friend. And now, thanks to people on the boards, I've stepped up to the X for the new year. I'm totally loving it, Tony! I'm on Day three and I'm a little sore and have a couple bruises (I need better floor padding), but I'm BRINGING IT and loving it!!! I will TOTALLY see you at the Chicago Fitness Camp, so look out! :-)
Thanks for helping me find a plan!

Entertainment lineup set for SAAC Gala
The Starkville Area Arts Council is putting the finishing touches on its annual fundraising gala.
The "Hats Off to the Arts" Gala is set to take place on Nov. 6 at the MSU Hunter Henry Center at 6 p.m. The Gala will be an exciting event chalked full of entertainment to please even the most discerning tastes.
The "Hats Off to the Arts" Gala will kick off the musical entertainment with what is sure to be a memorable performance by a talented young singer and Starkville native, Mary Kathryn Sanford.
Mary Kathryn graduated from the Starkville Academy in 2006 and recently graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in vocal performance.
In addition to Sanford's talents, Gala guests will be treated to an evening of dancing provided by the popular Columbus band Swing Shift.
Swing Shift's signature sound consists of mainly great rock-and-roll hits from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s with R&B and soul classics from these eras as well. Swing Shift formed in 1985, has played hundreds of shows, and has opened for noted performers such as Lee Greenwood and Ricky Skaggs.
Members of Swing Shift include Johnny Coleman, Robin Roberts, Wes Fields, "Bird" Crain and Ben Ferrell, all of whom have been involved in music most of their lives. Swing Shift is sure to help the Gala guests dance the night away by combining top quality music with a dynamic stage presence.
Finally, in addition to all the musical entertainment, attendees will have the chance to participate in a silent auction. The Gala Committee has been working hard to present an array of items for guests to bid on throughout the evening.
Items include trips for the outdoorsmen, rubbing elbows with MSU sports figures, jewelry, fine art and many more fine items. Proceeds from the silent auction benefit the Starkville Area Arts Council's grants and scholarships program which supports local artists, students, and organizations.
Tickets are still available for the event. Tickets are $75 and include dinner, drinks and all the wonderful entertainment mentioned above. To purchase tickets visit the Starkville Area Arts Council at Suite 18, 101 S. Lafayette St. in Starkville.

Want to erase those annoying wrinkles around your mouth and nose? Desire smoother, more youthful skin? Want to lift and rejuvenate your whole appearance? You've come to the right place. LaserAway Chandler now offers liquid facelifts, a revolutionary new treatment that will erase years from your face.
Liquid facelifts allow you to achieve the same results as a traditional facelift, but without the recovery time and cost. Our revolutionary liquid facelifts use Botox, Juvéderm XC, and Juvéderm Voluma to contour and lift facial features.
Liquid facelifts are safe and effective on pretty much all skin types and tones. They're an especially good choice for people wanting an alternative to traditional, more invasive facelifts. Our liquid facelift uses Botox, Juvéderm XC, and Juvéderm Voluma to treat both dynamic and static wrinkles, smooth creases and folds, and fill hollowed cheeks. The result? A more youthful, firm, and lifted face.
Liquid facelifts can also re-contour your face, improving the appearance of scars. They can even enhance the size and shape of your lips. Results are totally customizable depending on your unique needs.
We are proud to offer Chandler this innovative medical spa treatment. To ensure our clients have the best experience possible, we hire top medical professionals to administer our liquid facelifts, meaning you're always in good hands when you chose LaserAway. The treatment itself is simple, involving the gentle injection of three of the safest and most effective anti-aging treatments on the market.
Count on getting immediate, long-lasting results with a liquid facelift. Liquid facelifts using Botox, Juvéderm XC, and Juvéderm Voluma produce immediate results. These results continue to improve for one to two weeks as the Juvéderm XC and Voluma soften and draw moisture into the area and the Botox weakens facial muscles. And you can expect these results to last up to 12 months.
LaserAway is Chandler premier provider of liquid facelifts. Since our 2006 California debut, Hollywood celebrities have raved about our state-of-the-art laser hair removal procedures. Now Chandler can experience the magic of LaserAway's state-of-the-art anti-aging treatments. So what are you waiting for?

Shining Light on Cells' Inner Workings
By Marcia Goodrich | Published
Lanrong Bi and Nazmiye Yapici are shining new light on the hidden processes within
cells. For their groundbreaking research, Bi, an assistant professor of chemistry at Michigan Technological University, and PhD candidate Yapici have received the
Bhakta Rath Research Award.
The Rath Award recognizes research by faculty and doctoral students to meet the nation's needs and contribute to emerging technologies.
Inside our cells are processes that make or break us. They are tied to tiny organelles, such as mitochondria, nuclei and lysosomes. To get a glimpse of those organelles, technologists infuse tissue samples with special dyes and observe them under powerful fluorescent microscopes.
When the dyes work, you can see a glowing image of the organelle. That image may someday be able to tell you if a cell is about to become cancerous or the patient is coming down with Alzheimer's disease. Until now, however, those dyes had certain limitations.
Working together, Bi and Yapici have developed fluorescent dyes with powerful new properties: they work in acidic conditions, and they can trace hydroxyl radicals (also known as free radicals), very unstable molecules that are associated with a whole range of pathologies, from heart disease to AIDS.
"It's difficult to monitor a cell's interior pH, because if a cell goes acidic, the commercial dye breaks down," said Bi. "But we have developed two dyes that become fluorescent under acidic conditions, which would make it much easier to monitor cells in a diseased state."
This property makes these dyes especially useful in imaging lysosomes, which serve as the cell's waste disposal system and have an interior pH of about 4.5. And there's a good reason to look at lysosomes. "Their morphology changes as cells become cancerous," Bi said. "This could be used for very early diagnosis, when it's difficult to tell if a cell is cancerous or not."
Using a different type of fluorescent dye, Bi and Yapici have also been able to verify the presence of free radicals in mitochondria--organelles that generate most of the cell's energy--within colon cancer cells. "We do more than label mitochondria," said Bi. "We are focusing on detecting oxidative stress, which is characteristic of many pathologies, including Parkinson's, stroke and cancer."
The fluorescent dyes could be used for quick, safe, inexpensive diagnostic tests, Bi said. "Just put a cell sample on a slide, add the dye, and wait 30 minutes for it to go to the specific organelles," she said. Then look at it under a microscope.
"These novel fluorescent probes will have great potential for biomedical applications," said James Russo of Columbia University in supporting their nomination for the Rath Award. "This project is especially exciting because the new compounds already show a dramatic improvement over a probe that is currently on the market."
Yapici has been key to this research, Bi said. "She is an absolutely outstanding student," she said. "She works very hard; to demonstrate one fluorescent dye, she will test it under 2,000 experimental conditions. And we will meet at two or three o'clock in the morning to do our work, because not many people are working on the fluorescent microscope at that time."
Yapici has also been a willing collaborator, working with colleagues at Columbia and Northwestern universities on recent papers as well as with faculty in other departments at Michigan Tech.
Bi expressed her appreciation to her department chair, Professor Sarah Green. "A paper Sarah wrote back in 1990 in this area inspired me," she said. "She is a pioneer in this field." And she also thanked Bruce Seely, dean of sciences and arts, for his assistance, saying, "He gives pre-tenure faculty a great deal of support."
Their work is described in the papers "New Rhodamine Nitroxide-Based Fluorescent Probes for Intracellular Hydroxyl Radical Identification in Living Cells," authored by Yapici, Steffen Jockusch, Alberto Moscatelli, Srinivas Rao Mandalapu, Yasuhiro Itagaki, Dallas K. Bates, Sherri Wiseman, K. Michael Gibson, Nicholas J. Turro and Bi and published in Organic Letters, 2012, Vol 14., No. 1; and "Determination of Intracellular pH Using Sensitive, Clickable Fluorescent Probes," authored by Yapici, Srinivas Rao Mandalapu, Teng-Leong Chew, Satya Khuon and Bi, and published in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, April 2012, Vol. 22, No. 7.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

In this hands on review I will cover the VCL-ECF1 E-Mount 15mm Fisheye Conversion Lens and VCL-ECU1 18mm Wide Angle Conversion lenses which attach to the 16mm E-Mount lens. The Sony 16mm lens for the Nex camera line-up is a pretty solid lens for the price. It clearly has flaws such as the corner softness, chromatic aberration issues, and overall sharpness. However, you need to keep in mind that the lens only costs $249.99 US which compared to Zeiss glass or Canon L glass it's ruffly 1/4 the price!! It's also 1/4 the size in most cases. The small size of the "pancake" lens in combination with an 18mm flange to sensor distance creates some serious engineering optical challenges as well.
With that in mind, the flaws inherent in the 16mm E-mount lens are going to be present in the conversion lenses as well, because they simple mount on top. Check it out attached to the Nex-C3. It simple screws on just like the regular E-mount only a bit smoother and easier.
As always, be sure to Click the photos for a nice large 1200px version!!
What lens flaws are we talking about you might wonder?? The corners are a bit soft and also suffer from chromatic aberrations, especially in high contrast areas like a sky and tree branches for ex. Even with these weaknesses the 16mm f/2.8 till performs really well on the Nex-5n and Nex-C3 in particular. On the Nex-7 the 16mm does not hold up as good due to the super high res sensor.
Be sure to check out my full review of the 16mm f/2.8 E-Mount Lens for all the details and tons of sample images! (Click Here)
Conversion Lens Product Photos:
The Sony 16mm conversion lenses come in a nice hardened case that can certainly take a drop if you ask me.
Here's the case opened up resembling a hamburger bun no question! The case has a soft fuzz type fabric inside that doesn't come off on the lenses.
Here's both of the Conversion lenses side by side. Fisheye (VCL-ECF1) on the left and the wide angle (VCL-ECU1) on the right.
In this angle below you can see closely the little switch you need to slide downward in order to release the conversion lens from the 16mm lens.
Here's the Nex-C3 with the Wide Angle conversion lens mounted and the fisheye to the left.
And here's the Sony Nex-C3 and the Fisheye conversion lens mounted on the 16mm lens and Gorillapod. I was taking some test pics using the Nex-5n and my Canon 135 f/2 lens, but it makes for a nice product shot of the conversion lens in action. Also, check out my Hands On Gorillapod Review Here >> if it peaks your interest!
As you can see from the images above, the conversion lenses double the size of the Sony 16mm pancake lens, but in the process transforms it into another lens. So if size is critical, you may not want these, but the lens selection is so limited for the Nex System I would still have these in my bag for sure.
Next were going to go over some Real World Sample photos using these lenses so you can see what they actually do. The "Lab" pics will come after the real world shots, so you can skip ahead if you like to see those.
HD Video:
Check out this video below of me mounting each conversion lens on the 16mm lens while recording at the same time so you can see the effect each lens has live, so to speak. Make sure you select the 720p HD Video option for the most crisp video.
Real World Sample Photos
This first sample pic I just took on Sunday at the Hurleyville Firehouse pancake dinner with the family. It was fantastic btw and I ate like a pig 🙂 Needles to say I got to take some firetruck pics using the Fisheye conversion lens and the Nex-5n for a camera body. I also used a tripod and went for a full blow HDR using multiple exposure's and shooting RAW. Here is the fully edited HDR photo. Don't worry, I have a ton of un-edited sample pics coming next, but this pic is cool and I want you to see what can be done with this camera/ lens combo if you do a little post processing!!
Be sure to click the images for a nice large 1200px version!!
Here's one of those old Historic site signs that are made of Cast Iron. They have a lot of fine details at 100% view and the background is visually far which creates a bokeh in the process.
Same shot as above, but with the 18mm wide angle conversion lens. I was also bit further away from the sign.
Here is the Historic House that accompanies the Historic Sign shot with the Fisheye lens.
Here's the same shot with the 18mm Wideangle Conversion Lens.
This next image is a retired Blue Angles jet located at the local park just down the rd. I love to photograph it, and it makes for a great test subject with the paint, chrome, and rust!
Here's a Snapshot of Layla on the deck in really tuff shooting conditions in Jpeg mode. Chubs was running around, Layla never stops moving, and the Sun was in the cameras face!
I took this next shot of Sandy with the 18mm Wideangle Conversion lens mounted and was shooting Raw. It was really bright sun, but I had it to my back this time which made for a decent photo.
As always, be sure to Click the photos for a nice large 1200px version!!
In this next shot of Sadie I managed to get some nice lens flare action while shooting with the wide angle conversion lens and the sun at the edge of the frame.
These next photos are from the Basha Kill Wildlife preserve and the sky was awesome!! I used the 18mm wide angle conversion lens for these photos and shot in AutoHDR mode 6ev, as the dynamic range was very high shooting into the Sun!! I was also hand holding and the camera did a good job with the alignment and blending if you ask me, but more importantly the wide angle performance speaks fore itself!!
I purposely took this photo a bit higher to include the phone cable line in the top right corner of the frame. It makes for a nice high contrast edge that is certain to test the optics out!!
This 100% Crop version has the Lens Correction Profile enable in Lightroom 3, and it does a pretty good job with the distortion and chromatic aberrations.
Here's what it looks like in Lightroom when you enable the feature. Lightroom only supports a few Sony lenses unfortunately, but the 16mm is one of them it does!!
I had to break out the Tri-pod for this next image, but it was totally worth it!! Our friends were having a killer campfire and it was even bigger than I was hoping for 🙂 I had to use manual mode for this as the camera struggled with a "correct" exposure. That's Gary on the left stoking the fire for me and he is blurry do to the 2 second exposure. I used the fisheye conversion lens for this image.
Be sure to Click the photos for a nice large crisp 1200px version!!
In my opinion these real world images should give you a good sense of what this lens actually does in practice. I shot a variety of subjects using a variety of aperture's and overall both conversion lenses do a very god job. The corners are noticeable weak when it comes to sharpness, vignette, and chromatic aberrations, but it's really only critically noticeable at 100% and on the very corners. This can easily be cropped out in most cases and if your a pixel peeper like me, you can correct the flaws in post processing. You cannot fix the corner softness to much in post, but you really don't notice it that much unless your looking for it when it comes to the real world.
Sony Nex-5n w/ 16mm lens and Wideangle Conversion lens @ f/2.8, Raw – Lens Test Shot[/caption]
Top Left Corner 100% Crop
Center 100% Crop
And the Fisheye Conversion lens at f/2.8, f/4. f/8, and f/11.
Keep in mind that the viewing angle of the Fisheye is so great that the depth of field actually plays a roll in the edge and corner sharpness as well as the lens optics itself. So they may appear less harp than you would expect due to the limited depth of field.
Top Left Corner 100% Crop
Center 100% Crop
Conclusion and Closing Remarks:
Both the VCL-ECF1 Fisheye and VCL-ECU1 Wideangle Conversion Lenses do a good job in my opinion and basically just amplify what the 16mm has to offer. Arguable not the greatest lens for the corner sharpness in particular, and you can see that clearly in the test shots. You can also see that the sharpness really pics up at f/4 compared to f/2.8 and then it actually starts to fall off a bit at f/11 in the center most likely due to diffraction. The f/11 does help the depth of field in the fisheye shots though when it comes to corner sharpness.
However, in the real world photos the flaws tends to not matter that much in my opinion. Even on prints your probably won't notice the corner sharpness issue unless you really look close. Mind you, if your Architecture Photographer and you want the best quality possible, these are Not for you.
If your like me and you just want good quality equipment for a fair price then these conversion lenses are a great option at ~$110 US each. Comparing these lenses to Pro grade glass is just not fair in my opinion, but you can certinaly do that if you want 😉 Value for dollar these lenses are unbeatable if you already have the 16mm E-Mount Lens.

Come the week of Aug. 16 - 23, the world's largest Index, the S&P 500, will once again plummet. In an all too familiar fashion, it will drag down all other stock markets, superfunds and savings. No government or economic spin can ward off this descent, because nothing else but time governs the fluctuations of markets.
Given that economic formulas and models are only pale reflections of the real world, as a forecasting tool, they can be utterly misleading. The way to gain insight into the forces driving the S&P 500 Index, and predict the Aug. 16 turnaround, is by consulting its graph and William Delbert Gann's Square-of-9 (for why all Internet depictions of this Square are flawed refer to paragraph 7 below).
The graph's coordinates X and Y, where X represents price and Y time, provide an untainted depiction of market behaviour. In addition to reflecting 'price changes over time', the plot of X and Y's intersection points reflects also the perceptions, and thoughts, of those driving the ups and downs of price. Given that X is a function of Y, and Y is a function of X, and given that X is the volatile of the two, focusing on the forward procession of Y is far less challenging than the fluctuations of X (Figure 1).
Figure 1
There is reason to believe that when billionaire George Soros broke the bank of England by shorting the British pound on Sept. 16, 2002 and the AUD on May 08, 2013, the Y parameter and Gann's Square-of-9 dictated his trades.
The first on the 'to do list' in analysing a graph is to determine the direction of the dominant trend. Figure 2 demonstrates that bearish trends manifest long down-swings with short upward corrections. And, as the market changes direction, its upward swings become longer in comparison to retreats.

Actress Jessica Chastain has pulled out of several performances of Broadway show THE HEIRESS to support her critically-acclaimed new movie ZERO DARK THIRTY during the Hollywood awards season.
My fantastic understudy will perform the role of Catherine
The Help star has already picked up a number of honors for her role in the drama, which is based on the real life hunt for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, and has been nominated for many more, including a Golden Globe Award nod for Best Actress.
Chastain previously confessed she was worried about how she would juggle her Broadway commitment with her film duties, and now she has confirmed she will not take to the stage for a handful of The Heiress shows.
In a post on her Facebook.com page, she writes, "I wanted to give you all a heads up regarding the schedule for The Heiress - I will NOT be performing January 10th, 13th, and 27th, I'll be supporting Zero Dark Thirty at the Critic's Choice, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards. "My fantastic understudy will perform the role of Catherine.
If you've bought tickets for those dates, the theater will exchange them for you.
Sorry if this inconveniences anyone.
Much love". Chastain is scheduled to perform in the production until February (13).

Computer Programming
Computer programming is a subset of Computer Science and is related to Software Engineering. Computer programming is the act of creating computer programs to perform tasks ranging from simple calculations to complex games.
While there are many guidelines, there are no rules which are guaranteed to produce a correct and usable program, so programming is very much an art or skill rather than a science. Furthermore, a programmer must pay meticulous attention to detail: a moderately large program of say 150,000 instructions must be completely free of punctuation errors, grammatical errors, and spelling mistakes, and must also be largely free of logical errors (as a size comparison, a 400-page paperback book contains about 16,000 lines - 1/10th the size). Despite handling all the details, a programmer must also keep an eye on the wider picture so that all parts of a program contribute effectively to the desired end result.
Various studies have found that programmers with a comparable amount of experience may differ in skill levels by a factor of 10 or more.
A lot of free software (of varying quality) is available via the internet which allows one to experiment with many different programming languages.
Computer programming has great demand on the labor market, and is signed with the great differentiation in the salaries when comparing to other industries. [1]

With Republican voters barely noticing Gary Johnson's run for presidency, the former New Mexico governor is now pinning his hopes on a bid for the Libertarian nomination.
He's expected to announce the switch officially on Dec. 28, Politico first reported Tuesday night.
But it's been a subject of speculation for weeks, especially since Mr. Johnson mentioned the possibility when he essentially gave up his efforts in New Hampshire in late November after biking 500 miles across the state and still garnering just 1 percent or less in the polls, according to Nashua.Patch.com.
Johnson has expressed frustration at the system governing inclusion in televised debates, which requires minimum poll or fund-raising results. He's only appeared in two of the GOP debates.
Johnson's news is yet another trigger for speculation about the possible "spoiler" effect that one or more third-party candidates could have on the election in November.
Historically, Libertarian candidates haven't made enough of a dent to spoil the chances of a major-party candidate, but they tend to "disproportionately hurt Republicans," says Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
"If this continues to be a time of economic dislocation ... then given American history, you would expect one or more independent candidates," Professor Sabato says.
More than half of Americans – 55 percent – say a third party is needed, compared with 38 percent who say the Republican and Democratic parties do an adequate job of representing the American people, according to a Gallup poll this fall.
But whether they'd really throw their support behind Johnson or any other candidate outside the mainstream is difficult to predict.
"This is a very serious time.... This third-party foolishness will be looked at more soberly this time," says Patrick Griffin, an unaligned Republican strategist and senior fellow at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College.
There was a place for a gadfly like Ross Perot in 1992, but most Republicans think he cost George H.W. Bush that election, Mr. Griffin says. People like Johnson "are malcontents, and frankly, they should go on book tour."
If Americans turn out to have more stomach for the idea than Griffin does, he adds, President Obama will be thrilled because they'd most likely draw votes away from his Republican opponent.
In the swing state of New Mexico, Johnson as a Libertarian would draw 20 to 23 percent support in a three-way race for president, with Obama at 44 to 45 percent, and Gingrich or Romney coming in second, at 28 percent and 27 percent respectively, according to a recent Public Policy Polling (PPP) New Mexico survey.
Johnson is a fiscal conservative who says that if he's elected, he'll present a balanced budget and end military intervention in Afghanistan. He wants to legalize and tax marijuana, and he supports gay marriage. He also supports abortion rights.
The Libertarian Party welcomes the news of Johnson's switch, but still has a competitive process for its nomination.
"Governor Johnson appeals both to non-interventionists of all political parties (including independents), who are disappointed with President Obama's wars in Afghanistan and Libya – as well as to fiscal conservatives who see most Republican candidates as agents of Big Government and high taxes – with the notable exception, of course, of Congressman Ron Paul," Carla Howell, executive director of the National Libertarian Party, said in an e-mail to the Monitor.
Many are waiting to see if US Representative Paul, currently running strong in some states for the Republican nomination, might also seek the Libertarian nomination, to be decided in May. He won that nomination in 1988, but recently shrugged off the notion that he'd seek it again, commenting on the campaign trail in New Hampshire that Johnson's decision was a good one.

Couple accused of conspiring to carry out violent robbery
Five months after he finished a prison sentence for carjacking a man and forcing him into the trunk of his car, New London Police say 27-year-old Marquice Hawkins pulled on a ski mask and gloves and once again carried out a violent robbery.
Hawkins, most recently of Middletown, and Deahanna Nobleza, 27, of New London, were arraigned in Superior Court today on charges they planned an attack on Nobleza's boyfriend at his apartment at 848 Bank St. last Oct. 7. Called to the scene by a person who said the victim appeared to be "bleeding to death," police found the man standing in the doorway, covered in blood, his hands and feet tightly bound by zip ties, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Hawkins, charged with first-degree robbery, second-degree assault and first-degree unlawful restraint, was brought before Judge Kevin P. McMahon wearing baggy jeans, a gray sweatshirt, handcuffs and leg irons. The judge, noting the severity of the victim's injuries, ordered Hawkins held in lieu of $300,000 bond and transferred the case to the court where major crimes are heard. His next court date is Jan. 21.
Nobleza, arraigned on charges of first-degree robbery and conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery, was ordered held in lieu of $250,000. Her case also was transferred to the major crimes court and continued to Jan. 21.
The victim, who is not identified in court documents, told police he was walking up to his third-floor apartment after buying candy for Nobleza when a man wearing a ski mask and rubber gloves struck him hard on the back of the head. He said he wrestled with the man, and they both fell down the stairs. He said the man threatened to kill him if he moved, bound him with zip ties and stole his wallet, cash and his cell phone. He said he and Nobleza broke up three days earlier, but she still lived with him. He said she had resumed using heroin after being kicked out of a Methadone program and that she had been sending out text messages before he was attacked.
The victim was hospitalized with gashes on his head, a broken hand, a small fracture to the spine and cuts to the abdomen, according to the police.
Nobleza called 911 and asked police to check on the victim after the robbery, but hung up on a dispatcher when he told her the police were looking for her, according to the affidavit. Middletown Police, alerted Nobleza was due to return a rental car in their city that day, detained her and Hawkins at the car rental office and arrested Nobleza on drug charges after finding 5.6 grams of heroin in her purse, according to the affidavit. The police seized the car, which they said had drops of blood on the exterior, and took Hawkins' shoes, which also appeared to have blood them, along with $700 in cash he was carrying, according to the warrant.
Over the next several weeks, detectives used cellphone records and interviews to build a case against Hawkins and Nobleza, according to the warrant affidavit. Before the robbery, Hawkins sent Nobleza a text message saying, "Send him to the store. I'm gonna get him when he comes back," according to the affidavit. Hawkins went on to ask Nobleza, "Does he have a gun?" according to the text records.
Both denied taking part in the robbery, though Nobleza told the police she was living with the victim only because he was a heroin dealer and she was a user. She said she had started hanging around with Hawkins after his recent release from prison.
Hawkins, sentenced to seven years in prison for the February 2007 carjacking in Norwich, had been released from prison on May 30, 2013, according to the Department of Correction. In the carjacking case, he and another man, wearing masks and carrying gloves, confronted a man on Cedar Street, according to court testimony. They robbed the victim of his belongings, including $12 in cash, and drove around with him in the trunk of his car before eventually leaving him bound and gagged behind a vacant building.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Earlier this month US President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy had what they thought was a private conversation regarding their mutual dislike of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The incident occurred after the two leaders fielded questions at a G20 press conference in Paris on November 3. With their microphones still attached and apparently still turned on, Obama and Sarkozy retired to a private meeting room.
Obama started by criticizing Sarkozy for not warning him that France intended to vote in favor of recognizing "Palestine" at the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) days earlier. From there, the conversation drifted toward relations with Netanyahu. According to a report on the French website Arret Sur Images, the brief conversation went like this:
Sarkozy: I can't stand him [Netanyahu]. He is a liar.
Obama: You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!
Due to the microphones that Obama and Sarkozy were wearing being inadvertently left on, all members of the press who had been wearing translation headsets were able to hear the private conversation regarding Netanyahu.
Incredibly, though probably not surprisingly, the assembled members of the press agreed to sign a document promising not to publish the damning remarks. "There were discussions between journalists and they agreed not to publish the comments due to the sensitivity of the issue," and unnamed journalist told Arret Sur Images.
One must wonder if the mainstream media would have been so sensitive had Netanyahu been caught making similar remarks.

Doctors may be able to kill off persistent staph infections using a cheap and easy method. A little boost of sugar can help kill the type of bacteria that regular antibiotics miss.
Many patients are plagued with recurrent infections, especially if they're in a hospital. Despite precautions like hand-washing and sterile instruments, infection rates in hospitals are high. Doctors treat these infections with a high dose of antibiotics, hoping to kill off the bacteria immediately and completely. Sometimes unlucky patients have bugs with a resistance to antibiotics - and there's nothing that can stop the runaway infection.
Other times, though, the infection is killed off and the patient recovers, only to sicken once more when the bacteria come back. That's because they weren't dead after all. They were hibernating.
Certain strains of bacteria can shut down their metabolic functions when trouble comes. They're called persisters. They are genetically identical to their non-persister brethren, but they're nastier. Although they're produced in low numbers, they're able to hide out for weeks or months in a patient being treated with antibiotics. Once they come 'back to life,' they re-start the infection. Once they're in, only patience, persistence, and luck can eventually eradicate them. Recently their luck took a turn for the worse. Researchers discovered a weakness: persisters have a sweet tooth.
Adding some ordinary sugar to the antibiotic helps it kill off persisters. Bacteria, persister and not, feed on sugars. Persisters survive by shutting down their metabolism when antibiotics strike, but if they're stimulated by sugar, they just keep feeding. This allows the antibiotics to destroy them exactly the way ordinary bacteria are destroyed.
Adding such a simple and widely available compound to existing antibiotics enhances their effectiveness against persisters, and fast. One test showed that a sugared up antibiotic could eliminate 99.9 percent of persisters in two hours, while a regular antibiotic did nothing. Doctors believe that this discovery will help treat urinary tract infections, staph infections, and strep throat, but its most life-saving application may be against the age-old disease tuberculosis. This infection of the lungs kills many people, and is hard to fight off. A little sugar could help save a lot of lives.

Supervised Extshp Sem (LAW-769-005)
IMPORTANT: CLASS WILL MEET IN SMALL GROUPS FOR AN EXTRA HOUR EVERY OTHER WEEK. The time/place of this extra meeting is determined by the professor. REGISTRATION: There are two parts to registering for an externship: 1) Register on-line for the seminar as you would for any class. 2) Register for the field placement by going to the Externship Page www.wcl.american.edu/externship and submit a Request for Approval, which generates the necessary forms.
This is a three credit class to be taken in conjunction with a field placement in a nonprofit organization, government agency, court, or a private law firm handling pro bono matters exclusively. The work of the course is to examine your placement experience—legal work, lawyers and clients, and the legal and professional systems in which you find yourself. The overarching goal is to provide a framework for you to reflect on and learn from your externship experience beyond the substantive legal work you will be engaged in. Developing the capacity to reflect on and examine critically your goals at this stage in your career will prove invaluable as you enter the profession after graduation. Indeed, a regular habit of analyzing your own experiences will enable you to select and implement purposefully improvements and strategies that make your professional career both more effective and meaningful. The content of the classes will be general, designed to appeal to students with a broad array of interests and externship placements. Unlike most other law school courses, rather than focusing on a particular body of legal doctrine or a particular set of technical lawyering skills, this course focuses on the professional development of the students in the class. Topics will include professionalism, learning from supervision, management skills, balancing personal and professional life, and legal ethics. While readings are required for the class, the real "text" of this course is you, your goals, and your experiences at your placements during the semester. The class will meet weekly for two hours (Wednesday, from 3:00 pm to 4:50 pm). Classes will include discussion of assigned readings, externship experiences, and problem situations. In addition, students will be divided into two smaller groups with each small group meeting for an hour every other week on an alternating basis at a time to be scheduled. Required written work includes a goals memorandum, weekly journal entries, and a final reflective paper. Other writing may be assigned. In addition, toward the end of the semester, each student will make an in-class presentation on a topic that relates in some way to the course, whether general issues of lawyering or something of interest from his or her fieldwork placement.

Translation and Opposition is an edited volume that brings together cultural and sociological perspectives by examining translation through the prism of linguistic/cultural hybridity and inter/intra-social agency. In a collection of diverse case studies, ranging from the translation of political texts to interpreting in concentration camps, the book explores issues of power struggle, ideology, censorship and identity construction. The contributors to the volume show how translators, interpreters and subtitlers as mediators put their specific professional and ethical competences to the test by treading the dividing lines between constellations of in-groups and cultural or political others.
This invaluable volume explores the complex relations between the translator's textual action, the agency of the various parties involved in bringing about and exploiting translated works, and the social and political effects of this action and agency. The book's value lies in its detailed mapping of how all these complex intertextual, interpersonal and inter-group relations intertwine across the translated text. The book provides a clear route-guide for where socially-based translation studies is heading, and should be heading, in the 2010s and beyond.- Francis R. Jones, Newcastle University, UK
Translation and Opposition is a must-read for anyone interested in the issues of agency, censorship and power. The articles provide a rich array of theoretical views and empirical case studies of different interfaces where agency becomes manifest in translation. Fascinating reading.- Kaisa Koskinen, University of East Finland, Finland
Foregrounding issues of power brokering, agency and conflicting subjectivities, Translation and Opposition engages in a critical dialogue with recent studies in the emerging domain of activist translation. Specialists in their respective fields, the contributors challenge traditional views on translation by both the depth and breadth of their respective case studies, covering an appealing variety of contexts, from (mis)translation in the literature of the Russian Empire, via rewrites of traditional folk stories in Turkey to community interpreting work in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Warmly recommended to anyone interested in the sociology of translation.- Reine Meylaerts, Director of CETRA, Faculty of Arts, KULeuven, Belgium
Essays such as the ones in these collections revitalize, expand, and solidify Translation Studies as a discipline, making both books essential reading not only for tranlsators, but also for anyone curious about our common existence as translated beings.- Lisa Rose Bradford in Translation and Interpreting Studies 8:2, 2013
All the articles included in this remarkable volume are clear reflections if recent developments in Translation Studies. This book is undoubtably a necessary read for anyone interested in the potential of translation for political activism and for the construction of individual or collective identities.- Aiora Jaka, Universidad del Pais Vasco, Spain in Babel, Vol. 59:2(2013)
