What to focus on for Masters?
Hello all! Not new to the forums but new to post.
I recently received my B.S. in Applied Physics with a minor in Math and Comp Sci and have entered the work force with a great company, but I don't want to stop there. I want to further my education and lucky for me my company pays for roughly 1 class a semester (which works with 40+ hours a week). My problem is I have no idea which path I want to take. My three "end goals" would be in order: 1. Professor 2. Game Designer (side hobby when time permits but who knows when I retire) 3. CEO (or just climbing the corp ladder as high as possible) Now I know that all require a ton of full time attention but I am in a spot where I can further my education towards whatever I want and all three of these might actually be possible down the line. Now for the questions. What should I get my Master's in? Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material engineering, computer science, business, or none of the above and something completely different? I love learning how things work and I have always loved learning things that I can apply (theoretical physics = bad time). I like dabbling in chemistry but I never liked biology. I also don't want to get stuck behind a computer all day and get to work with people. Huge amounts of writing is to be expected I know but the more I can avoid the better. I don't have to decide right away but I do want to start asap so I can get more than one and/or go for PhD. All inputs welcome! I'm even asking friend's parents and parent's friends who work in a technical/business tech field so anything would be appreciated. |

Personally I have very different tastes form yours; I just finished an MSc in theoretical chemistry (lots of theory, lots of physics and chemistry, lots of time spent alone thinking about programs and equations and no real life applications :P ), so I'd have hard time placing myself in your shoes. However I can tell you that if you don't wanna be stuck behind a PC all day long, then game designer probably isn't for you (or computer science for that matter; my bro does that, so you can trust me). Business is probably a good idea if you really want to go up that corporate ladder, but doing a master in something a bit more interesting (like engineering or science) and then moving on to business is totally feasible as far as I know. Mechanical engineering always seemed to be a very broad field with many different specialtes and applications, so I'd pick that (but then again, I'm not you).
My only real advice, is pick something you think is gonna be interesting, or else you're gonna do a bad job, be bored for years and it's gonna eat at your motivation. Read a bit about what doing a MSc in electrical engineering (for example) would actually entail. After that, you can think about the other factors. |

Capitol's eight lighting stores are the offspring of a family retailing tradition that dates back to 1924, when Max Lebersfeld, an electrical contractor and recent immigrant from Austria-Hungary, opened an affordable lighting store in Newark, NJ. Four generations later, Capitol Lighting has expanded the concept to four locations in New Jersey and four in southeast Florida and in 2002 Capitol Lighting was given the award for New Jersey's Family Business of the Year. Today, says Owner and President Herman Lebersfeld, "we have the largest inventory on hand and on display of any lighting retailer in the country."
The typical Capitol Lighting store spans 12,000 square feet, which allows room for a huge selection. While many lighting showrooms boast a wide selection, Capitol Lighting delivers both a great selection, and affordable lighting.

Article Free PassSupport of Western philosophy and science.
Not content with extending his patronage to the translators and scientific research, al-Maʾmūn imposed on all his subjects the Muʿtazilī doctrine, characterized by a purified concept of divinity, belief in free will, and full human responsibility. One of the most innovative aspects of this theodicy was the affirmation of the created and not eternal character of the Qurʾān, the word of God. Such a doctrine was likely to diminish the influence of the learned doctors, the interpreters of the sacred text, who found themselves defending ʿAbbāsid legitimism; in addition, the doctrine demanded exceptional moral and religious qualities of the caliph, for it went so far as to authorize rebellion against a wicked sovereign. This tenet of the Muʿtazilī doctrine diverged from the traditional concept upon which the ʿAbbāsid caliphs had based their authority, and many adherents of the doctrine manifested an avowed sympathy for Shīʿah. Al-Maʾmūn, attracted by the intellectual rigour of Muʿtazilah, also saw in it the means of encouraging public opinion to accept a new, more flexible conception of the caliphate. In fact, when he announced his adherence to the thesis of the "created Qurʾān" in 827, al-Maʾmūn also asserted the superiority of ʿAlī over the other Companions of the Prophet. This position of al-Maʾmūn's manifested clear political implications.
Attempt to impose Muʿtazilī doctrine.
At the beginning of 833 al-Maʾmūn decided to require adherence to Muʿtazilah from all his subjects. As the caliph was then on an expedition against the Byzantines in the region of Tarsus, he entrusted this task to his representative in Baghdad, the prefect of police Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm. The latter first called together the qāḍīs (judges) to urge them to recognize the Muʿtazilī doctrine; then it was the turn of the specialists in Ḥadīth Muslim tradition; but among this group protestations were raised that the caliph hoped to silence through the use of threats. Some resisted obstinately, refusing to pronounce the Qurʾān a "created" work. This was notably true of Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, the founder of the Ḥanbalī school of Islāmic law, who was to have been sent, under a heavy guard, before the caliph but was temporarily spared by the sudden death of al-Maʾmūn at Tarsus in 833. This episode, called the trial (miḥnah) by the traditionalists, showed that one portion of the public opinion resisted the beliefs that al-Maʾmūn had wished to impose. The strength of this opposition serves to explain why the caliphs, a few decades later, abandoning their attempt at reorienting religious beliefs, returned to traditional dogma.
Possessed of a distinguished and sagacious mind, al-Maʾmūn set forth in the political domain very personal ideas that, in effect, ended in failure. He was never able to put an end to the divisions that were tearing the Muslim community apart; and the violence that he did not hesitate to employ at the end of his reign—to impose a doctrine he considered salutary for the Islāmic community—tarnished the image of an otherwise exceptionally open-minded ruler.

State Rep. Joe Driver will plead guilty to a felony charge of abuse of office, a Travis County prosecutor told the Texas Tribune late Tuesday.
"He is going to plea to the third-degree felony," Assistant District Attorney Gregg Cox said. "It is a plea of guilt."
The indictment of the Garland Republican was first reported by Fox 4 News.
A representative for the veteran legislator said Wednesday that he would not comment on the case. The plea is expected to be entered during a Nov. 22 hearing.
Driver, who was first elected in 1992, admitted last year that for years he had double-billed his campaign and state taxpayers for travel expenses. He said he thought the practice was appropriate, at least until he was confronted about it by an Associated Press reporter.
"Now you're scaring the heck out of me," Driver told the AP, adding: "It pretty well screws my week."

TULLY, N.Y. -- People are trying to help one local food pantry expand by holding a bake-off benefit in Tully. The proceeds are going towards the Saint Leo's Church food pantry.
The pantry is only the size of a closet, and leaders want to help the charitable group grow. People bid on items, hoping to raise money for the organization. If you're interested in donating, the food pantry officials said they hope to accept more than just food.
"They think about donating things like peanut butter and jelly, but they don't think about things like toiletries. When people come in, we just don't have it. You can't buy toiletries with food stamps," said Linda Milea, organizer.
There was a cupcake challenge, and a cake carving demonstration. YNN's Brad Vivacqua was also one of the judges for the bake-off.

"I'm the voice of Guitar Hero 6," says KISS front man Gene Simmons during a video clip produced by Game On, a division of UK media site ITN. And that's all he says. The clip -- view it after the break -- has been removed from the context of what's assumed to be a full interview and essentially turns Simmons' statement into a gag line. Still, Simmons does appear to be the first "official" spokesperson to outright name the next iteration of Guitar Hero, albeit unofficially.
Activision previously dated a forthcoming Guitar Hero game for the "back half" of 2010. Presumably, that's "Guitar Hero 6" and the game Simmons will apparently star in. What? Activision didn't offer his crew a full-on Guitar Hero: KISS game? It's for the better, really, because all we want to do is get the digitized Simmons onstage and make him crank 'dat Soulja Boy!

Texas computer giant's offer edges above HP's $1.6B offer
The battle of the computer giants over 3Par Inc. continues.
Dell Inc. announced today that it has raised its bid to buy 3Par to $24.30 a share, or slightly more than the $1.6 billion that Hewlett-Packard Co. offered earlier this week to counter Dell's initial offer of $18 a share, or $1.2 billion.
3Par officials have accepted the latest offer, Dell said today in a statement.
The Dell bid values 3Par at eight times its revenue and is more than double 3Par's share price before any bids were announced, according to Bloomberg News.
Acquiring 3Par would give the winning company a leg up in competing with rivals Cisco Systems Inc. and IBM Corp., the Bloomberg article added.
However, analysts cited by the business news agency said the bidding war is not likely over because both companies have lots of cash on hand to up the ante again for the data storage maker in Fremont, Calif.
With almost $15 billion in cash, HP will counter any higher offers from Dell, the analysts say.
Shares of 3Par fell 48 cents to $26.28 at 9:36 a.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, indicating that investors also expect a higher bid, according to Bloomberg.
On Aug. 16, Dell announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire 3Par for the $18-a-share price. 3Par officials accepted that deal.
But HP then submitted a proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of 3Par for $24 a share in cash, putting the Dell deal on hold.
Dell, of Round Rock, Texas, ranks No. 11 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal contractors. HP, of Palo Alto, Calif., ranks No. 12.

BANGUI, ILOCOS NORTE Theyre tall and white, and silhouetted against the backdrop of blue sea and green mountain, the tri-blade windmills of this remote coastal town up north can be an impressive sight. Indeed, in the last few years, people from various places flock to the base of the wind farm or to a view deck that offers a panoramic view of some of the 15 giant structures. Local and foreign tourists have taken thousands of pictures of the windmills, with many of the photos landing in personal online blogs. One such brag shot shows the windmills providing a backdrop to a smiling young lady in mid-leap, the shutter catching her off ground, arms outstretched. It is a pose that some have been seen trying to duplicate while visiting the site.
The concept of expanding the use of alternative energy has been the battle cry of many politicians since the time of the late President Ferdinand Marcos, who was a loyal son of Ilocos. And in this era of heightened environmental consciousness and the global drive to develop and use green power, windmills are on top of the pile of choices. They do not cause pollution, require no fuel, do not create greenhouse gases, and produce no waste. Each kilowatt-hour produced by the Bangui wind farm is also seven centavos cheaper than fossil-fuel power. In 2006 alone, NorthWind Power Development Corporation, the Manila-based company that runs the farm, reported a P70-million annual savings passed on to consumers in the form of cheaper power rates.
Yet even today, there has been little development in this sector. The wind farm of Bangui, which began operating in 2005, is the first and only one of its kind in the country, as well as in Southeast Asia. There is no course on windmill technology in the Philippines. Two of the farms engineers had to be sent to Denmark for a three-week training to learn the mechanics of maintaining the windmills.
At least, though, it may be precisely this lack of information about windmills that motivates the curious and the picture-snappers to visit Bangui in droves. It also helps that NorthWind keeps an open-door policy for tourists who have loads of questions.
Standing 70 meters above ground and arranged in an arc spanning a total of nine kilometers straddling nine barangays, the windmills are difficult to miss, even by those who are several kilometers away. Tourists who flock to the beach initially unaware of the windmills presence see the structures from afar and then make it a point to include it in their itinerary.
There are days we have as many as three groups visiting us, says NorthWind plant manager Dino Tiatco. To the many laymen who keep on pestering them with questions, he and his staff of five are Windmills 101 teachers. Students visit the substation as part of their field trips. Participants of conventions held nearby drop by, and even balikbayans come to ogle at the windmills, take pictures, and ask questions.
WINDMILLS HAVE been around since ancient times. Historians claim it may have first come in use in what was then called Persia (modern-day Iran) as early as 500-900 A.D., mainly to grind grain or pump water. And that idea may have come from especially wise people who, a thousand years before windmills were used to grind grain, came to understand the concept of aerodynamic lift and used it in sailboats.
The windmills of today generate power by capturing the winds kinetic energy and converting it to electricity through the use of a generator. The northern part of the Philippines is considered a rich source of wind energy, since it is farthest from the equator, where wind is usually weak. Experts actually consult a wind atlas to determine which area has the most potential for a wind farm.
In Bangui, erecting the windmills was among the last and shortest step involved in the long process of the project. It began in 1999, when NorthWind was formed by Danish and Filipino engineers and investors. NorthWind set up meteorological towers in Bangui and collected data about wind behavior in the area. The group, led by Danish businessman Niels Jacobsen, then worked to secure loans and permits for the project. The wind farm was built under the build-operate-and-own scheme, via a $40-million loan from the Danish Development Agency (DANIDA).
Banguis windmills are an indicator of how small the world has become. The towers were assembled in Vietnam, the rotors in the United Kingdom, the nacelles the part that holds the blades in Denmark. Local workers constructed the bases.
NorthWind built two wharves to accommodate the landing of the gigantic windmill parts. But the waves of Banguis coastline were so rough it took NorthWind five months from October 2004 to February 2005 before it was finally able to offload all the equipment at the site. The project sailed smoothly from then on, as it took the company just two months to install the windmills and lay the cables connecting them to the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC) grid. On May 8, 2005, NorthWind began delivering power to INEC. Thus began the operation of the Bangui wind farm.
The 15 windmills are assigned numbers, with number one the closest to the substation. Weve thought of giving them names, says Tiatco, but we agreed it would cause jealousy among us boys if we start using the names of our wives or girlfriends in referring to the windmills.
The locals have been so pleased with their windmills and point them out proudly to tourists, both local and foreign. Some enterprising minds have also begun to sell t-shirts proclaiming Banguis power-producing pride and joy.
In Europe, people are tired of seeing windmills because we see them everywhere, says a British tourist. But here, they talk about (them) with so much pride I just have to see them.
This dissonance in appreciation can be gleaned from the fact that Europe is one region that is most extensive in its use of windmills. It is estimated that the region has 25,000 wind farms.
The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) reports that in 1992, the global installed capacity of wind farms was at 2,500 megawatts. It rose to 40,000 megawatts in 2003, at an annual growth rate of 30 percent. In 2006, the figure had reached 48,000 megawatts. Almost a third of this capacity was installed in Europe alone although wind power still makes up just three percent of Europes energy requirement.

I'll be moving to Altoona soon and hope to meet some great people. See you there!

21.84% job growth !? - 11/22/2008 Hi all... i've read the charts and graphs available from RECON and i just can't seem to figure where this kind of job growth over the next 10 years is coming from(?) Any thoughts from the community on what sector might be creating these gains ? (other than new big box retailers ?)[read more...]
Depends on what you want - 1/10/2008 I lived in the Altoona area for about 5 years and still go back often to visit friends. I moved there from further east in the state for a job and it was quite an adjustment. It grew on me over time. It's got its good side and plenty of bad. It depends upon what you want. This city used to be twice its size as the railroad building and repair hub for the PA Railroad. If you like trains etc, Altoona will be interesting to you. There are still vestiges of the culture that used to be there - a symphony, a Jaffa Shrine, for example. There is plenty of shopping - better than State College, where Penn State is located. There is a lively branch campus of Penn State there also. Healthcare access is not so great - the doctors are overwhelmed because there are so many older people. You can wait months to see a specialist. There is a serious drug problem in the downtown neighborhoods. However...if you like a Leave-It-To-Beaver era lifestyle, you can still find it in Altoona. It's a pretty good place to raise kids. It's a cold climate in the winter, but does not get snow like towns up by the Lakes. It is not as hot in the summer since its 1600 feet above sea level. There are excellent forests and mountain scenery all around for those who like the outdoors. Regulation is low. Plus you can live outside in the country and still get to work in 10 - 15 minutes. A great choice if you want to escape the Eastern megapolis and the fast lane. Just make sure you have a good job in place first![read more...]
A nice little place to live - 7/18/2007 A previous poster commented that Altoona was only a good situation for the rich or well-connected. I came to Altoona in 2003 on the advice of some friends from college. I found it to be a nice little city, not too busy and not too quiet. It's got its downsides, but everywhere does. On the whole, my wife and I find it an ideal situation in which to raise our family. We also find quite a bit of negativity, as evidenced by the previous poster. While I am not surprised to hear his/her comments, I am disappointed. Even though that may have been his/her experience, life is only as good as you make it, and perspective can go a long way to make an experience pleasurable or painful. We regularly thank God, sincerely, for having put us in Altoona, PA.[read more...]
Hello People! - 7/16/2007 I'll be moving to Altoona soon and hope to meet some great people. See you there![read more...]
$ - 7/16/2006 When it comes to housing, the cost of living is so low, but the utility companies, grocers, and the taxes balance out the scales a bit.[read more...]
Stay Away is the best advice! - 7/12/2006 I was also born and raised in Altoona and moved away in 1994 for about a year. When I came back from Arizona, I was astonished at the prices they charge in Altoona and get away with. The area is geared toward the limited number of the wealthy and screws the rest. After trying to maintain a decent (what a joke) living for ten years, I was, once again, screwed. Found a job in Atlanta Georgia and just cannot believe how the employees are treated and the wages they are paid. I just bought a home that would be priced around $200,000 in Blair Cty., for about $50,000 less than that. I gave the so-called city two chances and will NOT give it a third. I am getting to old to fight the overpowering, greedy wealthy in PA and now live in an area that just does not care how much you earn, but who you are. Good luck to anyone, unless you are a descendent of certain families or marry into one, who tries to make Altoona, PA a home. P.S. In Georgia, police do not have to worry about doing their job. Signed, I tried to make it a home, but could not get into the CLICK!!![read more...]
stay away - 4/15/2006 I have lived in Altoona my whole life and am currently saving money to move out. There is a lot of crime for the size of the town and a lot of drugs. There is very little entertainment or jobs. Seriously if you are considering moving here please change your mind![read more...]
Tell me about Altoona - 4/8/2006 I grew up in Ohio and am looking for a good place to raise my family . Altoona seems to fit a lot of my requirements. Anyone who can tell me anything about the place?[read more...]

Johannes Vermeer is the greatest painter of his time. When he hires a young girl Griet to help in his house, it is not long before she becomes more than a servant - she starts to help him in his studio, learning the art of painting by watching the master. And then, secretly, Vermeer begins to paint her and Griet becomes model and muse for his greatest masterpiece Girl With A Pearl Earring.
Our Review:
30 September 2008
What is the point of this show? It�s not terrible, but it�s hardly exciting. Actor/playwright David Joss Buckley has avowedly gone back to the wonderful, spry 1999 novel of Tracy Chevalier � transformed into a beautiful film starring Scarlett Johannson and Colin Firth � and drummed it drably into a stilted love story.
This is a diminution of a prose work of art which is vocalised in the narrative of a young serving girl in the 1666 household of Jan Vermeer in Delft. She is assigned as a slave, becomes enamoured of painting technique and the artist�s mystery, and is removed as a threat to domestic stability. The momentum lies in the slow thrum of her artistic and sensual arousal.
There�s absolutely no sense of that in Joe Dowling�s plodding production, which stakes out the narrative in a literal art gallery of Vermeer references, translucent lighting and cheap gags. At least the 2003 film, remarkable for the beauty of the cinematography and the pouting, over-ripe and sullen ...

There were altars all around and the priestess with hair streaming called with a voice of thunder upon three hundred gods, Erebus, Chaos, triple Hecate, and virgin Diana of the three faces. She had also sprinkled water to represent the spring of Lake Avernus. She also sought out potent herbs with a milk of black poison in their rich stems and harvested them by moonlight with a bronze sickle. She found, too, a love charm, torn from the forehead of a new-born foal before the mare could bite it off. Dido herself took meal in her hands and worshipped, standing by the altars with one foot freed from all fastenings and her dress unbound, calling before she died to gods and stars to be witnesses to her fate and praying to whatever just and mindful power there is that watches over lovers who have been betrayed.
Virgil, Aeneid, 4.509-522.

Causing Effect (Aaron Waldon)
CE Cache allows you to store and retrieve parts of your templates (fragment caching via file-based caching, database, APC, Redis, Memcache or Memcached) or full-page static caching. Since much of the heavy lifting doesn't have to be run on every page-load, your performance increases can be astonishing. With fragment caching, you can also escape any parts of your cached code, so they remain dynamic (like logged_in conditionals for example). This enables you to enjoy the speed increases without sacrificing usability or functionality where you need it.

Jake and the Never Land Pirates
Disney Junior's Annie Award-winning series, "Jake and the Never Land Pirates," is a music-filled interactive treasure hunt that introduces a crew of kid pirates -- leader Jake and pals Izzy and Cubby -- and follows their Never Land adventures as they work to outwit two infamous characters, the one and only Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, from Disney's classic "Peter Pan."
Each episode features two 11-minute adventures as Jake and team and their lookout parrot, Skully, sail on the good ship Bucky, miles from their Pirate Island hideout on a lost treasure hunt. Along the way, they model teamwork, problem-solving and physical activity as they learn to maneuver around Hook and Smee, earning gold doubloons as they conquer tasks including crossing a muddy swamp, swinging on vines and sliding down waterfalls.
The series features original "pirate rock" music performed by The Never Land Pirate Band -- comprised of Loren Hoskins and Kevin Hendrickson, whose animated alter egos, Sharky and Bones, pop up to sing pirate ditties throughout every episode. The pirate rockers also provide the title track, "Jake and the Never Land Pirates," and the musical score. Each episode concludes with a live action music video featuring The Never Land Pirate Band performing a song, including "Talk Like a Pirate," "Hot Lava" and "Ah, Coconuts!"
Each tale begins with Jake and his friends in the midst of a fun activity, such as a birthday party, playing with something new washed up on shore or enjoying something that's already special to Jake and his crew, like their Pirate Island hideout. Hook sees how much fun Jake and his crew are having and identifies the source as a treasure that he must get his hands on. With help from viewers at home, Jake and his crew must solve pirate problems during an action-packed quest to reclaim their treasure. For each task completed, the team receives gold doubloons, and by the end of the adventure, Captain Hook's plan is foiled.
Like all Disney Junior programming, "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" is guided by an established curriculum that nurtures multiple areas of child development: physical, emotional, social and cognitive; thinking and creative skills, as well as moral and ethical development. Teamwork is central to the show's curriculum, and throughout the series, Jake and his team model friendship and collaborative behavior. Each friend brings unique and valuable attributes that combine to create a smart, strong, resourceful and fun team. For example, Jake is the confident leader who knows how best to use the strengths of his crew, Cubby's use of maps point the team in the right direction, and Izzy is always full of ideas and finds creative ways to solve problems such as transforming found items into useful tools. Plus, Izzy has pixie dust, a magic powder that allows Jake and his crew to fly. Skully is the best lookout a pirate ever had, and their trusty ship Bucky helps by taking the crew where they need to go.
"Jake and the Never Land Pirates" encourages kids to be active learners and much of the curriculum focuses on modeling physical activity for young viewers. When the team needs to get ahead of Hook and his men on a treasure quest, Jake will ask the kids at home to "Slide-slide-slide!" along with his crew or help Bucky steer by moving "To the left!" When the heroes are sprinkled with pixie dust, Jake asks the viewer to lift their arms and fly along with them.
Mathematical concepts are also built into the show. Through its interactive beats and gold doubloon reward system, "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" provides viewers with opportunities to count, predict, sort, follow patterns and to explore shapes, relative size, relative location and relative distance. The use of simple maps introduces young children to the concepts of directionality, navigation and landmark recognition. All of these concepts are the building blocks for the development of mathematical reasoning.
Voicing the cast of characters are: Colin Ford and Cameron Boyce as Jake; Madison Pettis as Izzy; Jonathan Morgan Heit as Cubby; David Arquette as Skully; Corey Burton as Captain Hook; Jeff Bennett as Mr. Smee and Bones; and Loren Hoskins and Sharky. The recurring voice cast includes: Tori Spelling as the Pirate Princess; Lisa Loeb as Winger; Ariel Winter ("Modern Family") as Marina the Mermaid and Adam West as the Wise Old Parrot.
Many of the key creative professionals behind the Emmy-nominated hit series "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" are at the helm of "Jake and the Never Land Pirates," including executive producer Rob LaDuca; producer/story editor Mark Seidenberg; voice director Kelly Ward and director Howy Parkins.

Tips for Learning a Second Language
There are several tips for learning a second language that will prove beneficial to new learners of that language, regardless of their prior exposure to the country of origin of the language. First, a total immersion program in a specific country where the language is used is the preferred way to introduce language learning. In this way, the language can be learned in a classroom setting with dedicated teachers that will guide students through the language learning process. This is among the best tips for learning a second language that can be recommended. While it will take time, money and a good amount of dedication, the speed at which the learner will assimilate to the new language is well worth the time and cost investment.
Another excellent method that falls under the category of preferred tips for learning a second language would be to devote a certain number of hours per day using recorded or digital technology to study phrases, words and grammatical nuances of the language of interest. Through this daily intense study and constant exposure to the particular phrasing of the language, students will gradually become familiar with the sounds, words and overall tone of the language. It is one thing to understand written language, but quite another to learn the spoken word. The latter proves to be much more of a challenge.
Lastly, many who propose tips for learning a second language propose a trial living period in the country where the language is widely spoken and forcing the learner to mingle with native speakers. There is no better tip for learning a second language than total immersion into the foreign language and culture.

Donating Blood: Giving the Gift of Life
En Español (Spanish Version)
Did you know that many Americans will need blood or a blood product at some point in their lifetime? But sadly, only a small percentage of healthy Americans who are eligible to donate blood actually do donate each year.
Who Is Eligible to Give Blood?
In general, to give blood, you must:
Be healthy
Be at least 17 years old
Weigh a minimum of 110 pounds
What to Expect When Donating Blood
Giving blood may seem scary, but it is a simple process. By knowing what to expect, you can take the mystery—and the fear—out of giving blood.
When You Arrive
When you arrive at the blood drive or center, you will go through an interview. The interview will be private and confidential.
You will need to provide:
Date of birth
Valid form of identification
The Red Cross will do a mini-physical exam that includes checking:
Body temperature
Blood pressure and pulse
A drop of your blood to be sure you have enough red blood cells to donate safely
You will be asked about your past and present health and lifestyle, and the Red Cross will answer any questions you may have. Depending on your answers, you may be deferred from donating, either temporarily or permanently.
If you are allergic to tape, or natural latex rubber, tell the interviewer so that the donation staff can substitute other materials.
You will be given a form so you can let the Red Cross know, privately, if your blood is safe to give to another person.
Tell the interviewer if you:
Are not feeling well
Are running a fever
Have traveled out of the country lately, especially to less developed countries
If at any time you decide that you should not give blood, you may walk away.
When You Give Blood
Now you are ready to give blood. The actual donation will take about 8-10 minutes.
The Red Cross staff member will cleanse an area of the arm. All of the supplies, including the needle, are sterile and are used only once—for you.
When the actual donation starts, you may feel a brief "sting" from the needle.
You will have given about a pint of blood when finished. Your body will replace the plasma (liquid part) in hours and the cells in a few weeks.
When you are finished, you will be given a form with:
Donation instructions
A number to call if you decide, after you leave the donation center, that your blood may not be safe to give to another person
When you are finished, you will be taken into a room and given some snacks (usually juice and cookies) for energy.
Although most people feel fine before and after donating blood, a small number of people may experience:
Upset stomach
Faint or dizzy feeling
Black and blue mark, redness, or pain where the needle was inserted
Very rarely, a person may faint, have muscle spasms, and/or suffer nerve damage
Who Should Not Give Blood?
Examples of situations where you should not give blood include but are not limited to:
Had a tattoo within the last 12 months in a state that does not regulate tattoo facilities
Recently received certain vaccinations—Check with the Red Cross Center for specifics
Ever had
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
, or if any blood relative (parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, or child) has or had it, or been told that your family is at risk for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Ever received a dura mater (or brain covering) transplant during head or brain surgery
Received an injection since 1980 of bovine (beef) insulin made from cattle in the United Kingdom, (due to the risk of
mad cow disease
Spent long periods of time living in countries where mad cow disease is found
Had hepatitis at or after the age of 11
Had malaria in the past three years
Been held in a correctional facility (including jail, prison, or detention center) for more than 72 straight hours in the past 12 months
Have or been treated for
or tested positive for syphilis in the past 12 months
Been raped in the past 12 months
or any other street drug through your nose in the past 12 months
or one of its symptoms, including:
Unexplained weight loss (10 pounds or more in less than two months)
Night sweats
Blue or purple spots on or under the skin
Long-lasting white spots or unusual sores in your mouth
Lumps in your neck, armpits, or groin, lasting longer than one month
Persistent diarrhea
Persistent cough and shortness of breath
Fever higher than 100.5°F lasting more than 10 days
Done something that puts you at risk for becoming infected with HIV—You are at risk for getting infected if you have:
Taken illegal or nonprescription drugs by needle, even once
Taken clotting factor concentrates for a bleeding disorder such as
Tested positive for any AIDS virus
Been given money or drugs for sex, since 1977
Had a sexual partner who puts you at risk for AIDS infection
Note that these guidelines change on an as needed basis, and they may vary from region to region. For the most up-to-date information please contact the American Red Cross nearest you.
Giving blood is a way you can give back to society. It is simple, free, and saves lives. A single blood donation can save up to three lives. To find out where you can donate blood, call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE.
