When editing LaTeX files from Vim, you want to be able to compile latex, retrieve a list of errors, step through errors, etc. This tip explains the different options. They all work with the quickfix feature of Vim (:help quickfix), so before using this tip you need to be familiar with the basics of quickfix operation.
Vim-Latex plugin[]
The Vim-LaTeX plugin sets up make, makeprog, and errorformat for compiling single latex files on any system. See the vim-latex documentation for more details about compiling. The vim-latex compilation has several limitations on large multi-document projects which include figures, plots, etc where there are more steps to building than just running pdflatex. This makes building using the vim-latex provided features somewhat awkward.
If you want to automatically compile and refresh xdvi whenever you write the current buffer, you can add the following code into your tex.vim ftplugin.
au BufWritePost *.tex silent call Tex_RunLaTeX() au BufWritePost *.tex silent !pkill -USR1 xdvi.bin
Note that Vim-LaTeX should be downloaded from its web page. The version at script#475 is outdated and will not be updated.
Automatic LaTeX plugin[]
The AutomaticLaTeX Plugin has a built-in solution for compiling LaTeX files when they are changed (using CursorHold and CursorHoldI autcommand groups). Compiles documents in the background, and shows a progress bar in the Vim status line. It also rewrites the log file into a Vim readable form and has options to filter errors, warnings and info messages in the QuickFix window. It also has :MakeLatex command which builds the document and runs TeX's friends when necessary. Additionally, it includes script#3109 to provide interface to Latexmk.
This plugin works under Linux and MacOs and for best performance requires a recent version of Vim (7.3.468) with Python interface. The plugin has a very rich completion, which makes writing LaTeX files much faster and easier. For a long list of features see the web page [1], online documentation there are also some videos which advertise some nice features.
Other plugins[]
Automatic LaTeX Plugin and Vim-LaTeX are fully flagged plugins, if you prefer a smaller solutions there are also these plugins available:
- LaTeX-Box script#3109 which is using Latexmk
- TeX-9 script#3508 a nice small plugin written in Python
- TeX-PDF script#3230 which uses Makefile if present, otherwise invokes Rubber
- TeX Mini script#3058
- vimtex
There are also other LaTeX plugins which do not provide interface for compilation"
- AucTex script#162
- Tex Autoclose script#920
Rubber plus Make[]
Rubber (sudo apt-get install rubber
) is a wonderful tool for compiling latex files. It knows how many times to compile, knows to run bibtex, filters error messages and warnings (so you can ignore overfull hboxes until you want to see them), and so on. Rubber combined with make is a great fit for Vim's quickfix.
First, create a generic makefile for compiling latex using rubber and place it in some global location (I use ~/academic/tools/latex.mk
.PHONY: clean %.pdf: %.tex $(DEPENDS) rubber -f --pdf -s $< rubber-info --check $< clean: rm -rf *.aux *.bbl *.blg *.log *.pdf *.toc *.snm *.out *.nav tags
Edit to your taste. In particular, you might consider updating the clean to not remove all pdfs (if you have figures in pdfs) perhaps using rubber --clean
(see rubber's man page). Other changes include ignoring certain warnings or passing other options to rubber (see the man page). Also, you might add a tags target which runs ctags with the correct options (see tag-list documentation for ctags arguments).
Now in your tex.vim
ftplugin add the following lines:
setlocal errorformat=%f:%l:\ %m,%f:%l-%\\d%\\+:\ %m if filereadable('Makefile') setlocal makeprg=make else exec "setlocal makeprg=make\\ -f\\ ~/academic/tools/latex.mk\\ " . substitute(bufname("%"),"tex$","pdf", "") endif
If the current directory does not have a Makefile, it sets makeprog to compile using the generic makefile. This works great on single-file latex files where a makefile is overkill.
If you have a multi-file, complicated build project, you can create a custom makefile for the project. Mine normally start out like:
DEPENDS=intro.tex somesection.tex somethingelse.tex appendix.tex refs.bib .PHONY: all all: mypaper.pdf include ~/academic/tools/latex.mk
and from here you can add more targets, creating figures, etc. Anything make can do, you can insert it here.
Manual setup[]
I strongly suggest you use one of the above options, but it is possible to set makeprg and errorformat directly and use the built in tex compiler.
let b:tex_flavor = 'pdflatex' compiler tex set makeprg=pdflatex\ \-file\-line\-error\ \-interaction=nonstopmode set errorformat=%f:%l:\ %m
While it is possible to grep the output to filter the output from pdflatex, using rubber is a much better option since it knows all about filtering and compiling more than once.
In the #Manual setup section, what's wrong with the default makeprg and errorformat set up by the "compiler tex" command? This section should probably go first to show what Vim offers out-of-the-box, then explain what is wrong with it, THEN present the alternatives. --Fritzophrenic 21:02, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

As many readers of this weblog know, we are a bit obsessed here with matters of time, inter-temporality, and especially long futurities, even when, perhaps perversely, that futurity is always already in the past [and the past, likewise, has already gotten ahead of us]. Recently, I was asked to contribute a text-object to two combined gallery exhibitions [@Head Gallery, an online artspace in New York City and @Focal Point Gallery, Essex, UK]: "My Spinalcord Traversed by the Axis of the Planet" and "Orbitechture II: Everything Under Heaven is in Utter Chaos; The Situation is Excellent," respectively. The curators [whoever they might actually be--and who knows? as no names were attached to the invitation], indicated that the artwork
should take the form of a written description of an object which might be an artwork: an art object from the future, after an apocalypse. . . . we are interested in how the recent speculative turn in philosophy--although we are not suggesting you would characterise youself as a 'speculative realist'--would express itself as an actual art object, particularly if this object is itself projected into some future setting, after some imagined catastrophic event that changes the very conditions that restrict or determine the way we function.Here is an opportunity, I thought to myself, to combine my interests in the medieval, in the postmodern, and in what Graham Harman has called a "weird realism." I may have failed here, because I'm not sure my piece is "speculative" in the exact way the curators may have intended [by way of the recent "speculative turn" in Continental philosophy], but it was fun to write, nevertheless. The combined exhibits will also feature text-objects from Nicola Masciandaro, Reza Negarestani, Ray Brassier, Robin Mackay, and China Miéville, among others. I append my piece here, and here, also, is a link to a .pdf version.
The Borges Problem [field report]
Eileen A. Joy
The other one, the one called Borges, is the one things happen to. . . . I do not know which of us has written this page.
—Jorge Luis Borges, "The Waiting"
after the style of Borges, and for Borges
Field Report: 34° 35 S φ; 58° 29' W λ
Ravenna, Biblioteca Comunale, MS. Runeberg Ax.3, fols. 45v-46r [c. 2160]
As is well known, the 20th-century author known as Borges, by means of an obscure Symbolist sonnet technique, doubled himself and continued to write, often at odds with his double (Borges2, for our purposes, although we admit this is a crude representation of what is meant here by 'double'), for a period of some decades. It has been noted as well that many of the characters, and occasionally the cities, authored by Borges1 were also doubled, or were split into two separate bodies (with 'body' here loosely defined as 'location'), sometimes residing in different temporal zones as well. Hence, the Sinologist Stephen Albert and Albert the city. Pierre Menard and Miguel de Cervantes. Pierre Menard and Pierre Menard. The blacksmith of Aventinus and his son. James Alexander Nolan and Shakespeare. Marcus Flaminius Rufus and Homer. And so on and so forth.
Recent activity monitored in the sector formerly known as Buenos Aires indicates that, due to an unfortunate action, during the planetary catastrophe, of one of the Argentinian engineers, who attempted to unfold the implicate order using a vintage toaster oven, Borges may have triangulated and is now traveling, disguised as a monograph on Liebniz's Characteristica universalis (Nîmes, 1904), to the sector formerly known as Babel, with the intention of getting into the Library. It is not clear what he plans to do there, although since it has also been reported that Borges3 is accompanied by a jaguar, it may be safe to assume that Borges, Borges, and Borges plan to ride into the Library on the back of the jaguar in a leather satchel specially designed to protect ancient manuscripts, and once in there, to trample the incomprehensible books and also burn them.
In anticipation of this probable outcome, it is advised that the Royal Councillors of the Library should immediately begin construction of an underground prison, made from stone, that would be shaped as a nearly perfect hemisphere, although the floor itself should be somewhat less than a circle, in order to make the prisoners feel as though the place is too big and too small at once. A dividing wall should be built down the center, with a small gap at the top and a long, barred window set flush with the floor, and we advise placing Borges, Borges, and Borges on one side and the jaguar on the other. Once each mid-day, throw down, through a small trapdoor in the ceiling, some water and meat, at which point, for a brief moment, the prison will be flooded with light and Borges, Borges, and Borges and the jaguar will briefly see each other, then just as quickly be plunged into darkness again, with the only sounds the breathing of Borges, Borges, and Borges, and the pacing of the jaguar whose steps will measure the time and space of captivity. Finally, at the same time each day, also add exactly one grain of sand to the prison, and after 465,362 days Borges, Borges, and Borges and the jaguar will finally be suffocated.
If the Prefecture determines that this means of torture and slow death is too light-hearted or baroque (although please note that it provides the Librarians with a daily break from their annotations and indexing), we recommend sending out a team of caliphs to meet Borges, Borges, and Borges and the jaguar at the entrance of the Library, and because we know Borges, Borges, and Borges and the jaguar are possessed of unfailing kindness and politeness, have the caliphs ask them if they wouldn't mind, before being admitted to the Library, reciting the commentaries of Averroes. That will allow the engineers the time they need to set the missile coordinates.
One clarification: by "recent activity monitored in the sector formerly known as Buenes Aires," we are referring to a letter found by Emma Zunz in the rear entrance hall of her house, after returning home from her daily shift at the Lowenthal textile mill. Although the letter is ostensibly written by a "Fein," or "Fain," a boarding-house friend of her father's who wanted to communicate to her the news of her father's supposed suicide by overdose in a hospital in Bagé, analysis of the letter's envelope by forensic experts indicates the presence of trace elements of saliva whose DNA closely matches (98.765455678%) that of a triplicate Borges. The next closest match (98.765455673%) is a man named Albert Feintster, long deceased, who was the proprietor of an antiquarian bookshop in Asia Minor during the period of the Great Migrations (circa 5th century C.E.). The threat of a triangulated Borges, therefore, in our estimation, should not be taken lightly.1

1Letizia Álvarez de Toledo has observed that this 'field report' is fradulent and likely plagiarized. Further, there was never an author named Borges.

A 1973 graduate of Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Hayes has been a leading speaker and writer on the business side of practice for over three decades. During that time he also founded or co-founded several seminal businesses in the industry, among them Hayes Marketing, which he sold in 1997; HMI Buying Group, now the HMI Red Tray Network and still one of the largest OD buying groups in the U.S.; and E-dr.com in 1997, which was the first online ordering portal in optical industry. He retired from private practice 1986 to devote all his time to consulting and helping other ODs become more successful in private practice. He now devotes his time to running HMI Red Tray Network and Prima Eye Group, which were founded in 1983 and 2011, respectively. "There are no new concepts," said Hayes. "All the information an optometrist needs to achieve, including higher net income and greater personal satisfaction in practice already exists. It's just a matter of finding the information you need and applying those concepts in the right way in your practice." He co-founded Prima Eye Group to help do exactly that. "Our job at Prima Eye Group is to help practices fill in the knowledge gap in the areas of team leader, customer service and business expertise. Once we do that, growth will come both financially and personally." Of course that path didn't exactly come without some challenges. "With Prima Eye Group, our challenge is and continues to be helping clinically oriented optometrists realize that the path to higher net income and greater personal satisfaction can be achieved by doing a better job of managing the business side of practice." DONALD R. KORB, OD Senior Partner Korb & Associates www.korbassociates.com Boston, Massachusetts "I love doing research, but I also need to walk into a room of patients and have the opportunity to observe and have insights." When you tell Donald R. Korb, OD, that he has been an innovator and an influencer to colleagues over his four-decade career, he is quick to point out two things that attest to his humility and intellectual process. "I have always collaborated with experts in trying to solve problems," he said. His location in Boston, a center of medical and scientific research, provides a wealth of pathologists, polymer chemists and experts in infectious diseases with whom he collaborates. "I could not have been Donald Korb without being in Boston," he added. The second point Korb eagerly cites: Throughout all of his innovative successes, patents and the co-founding of several companies, he continues to see patients each week, for 30 to 40 hours atop 40 hours of research. Korb's wide influence among colleagues stretches back to his development of the CSI contact lens in 1972. This thin, membrane lens was approved for the market in 1978 and is credited as the model for the vast majority of all soft contact lenses that followed. And while the success of the lens was remarkable, allowing for CL extended wear, it was the lack of success in a minority of wearers (due to discomfort) that launched Korb on a 40-year pursuit to understand why. That discomfort was due largely to dryness, and understanding and treating that condition has taken Korb (along with collaborators) through landmark discoveries, countless lectures and the publication of over 100 peer-reviewed papers describing the root of the problem: Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. His discoveries in this area led to the development of eye drops (including System Balance) with a lipid component that address evaporative dry eye due to gland blockage. Korb is neither surprised nor frustrated that he has spent 40 years basically working on one problem of the human body. "There has never been a year or two when we haven't made a great discovery about this fantastic system." STUART J. THOMAS, OD Owner Thomas Eye Center www.thomaseyecenter.com Athens, Ga. Chairman VSP Global Board of Directors "Do the right thing, do it the right way, and do it for the right reason." Upon graduating from the Southern College of Optometry in 1984, Stuart Thomas, like many independent ODs, joined his father in private practice. Gerald Thomas, who opened Thomas Eye Center in Athens, Ga. in 1951 and retired in 2004, has had a big influence on his son. Like his dad, Stuart has provided optometric care for the University of Georgia athletic teams for more than three decades. "He was one of the first team optometrists for a major athletic association," Thomas said proudly. Additionally, both father and son have served as president of both the Georgia Optometric Association and SECO. "Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today," said Thomas. About nine years ago, Thomas' involvement with SECO brought him to the attention of VSP Global. After serving on the company's board, he was elected chairman for a two-year term that began in 2012. One of the key initiatives Thomas has championed since taking office is the inclusion of standalone vision plans such as VSP Vision Care in state health care exchanges, which are now being considered under the Affordable Care Act. "It's been a huge focus of VSP Global, because it will give our members greater access to quality patients," he said. He is also enthused about other VSP programs and services such as OTTO, the company's new measuring and dispensing app; Unity, its line of proprietary free-form lenses; Viztech, the in-house finishing lab located within Marchon, and Eyeconic.com, VSP's optical e-store. Thomas credits a support network that includes his wife, Sharon, who is a research optometrist for Alcon, and his practice manager, Ellen Goad, with helping him function at his best in his clinical and administrative roles. DAVE ZIEGLER, OD, FAAO Senior Partner Ziegler Leffingwell Eye Care www.zleyecare.com West Allis, Wisconsin "Our mission is to create an eye-care experience that is like none other. Service to you [our patients] is our highest priority." In addition to his duties as the senior partner in a group private practice in a Milwaukee suburb, Dave Ziegler, OD, FAAO has a long list of responsibilities. As a member of the Management Business Academy (MBA) faculty he lectures extensively on practice management. Ziegler also sits on Essilor's advisory panel and has served on advisory boards for VisionWeb, AMO and Vistakon. Education, it seems, is in his blood—he's been an associate clinical professor to the Southern College of Optometry and Pacific University College of Optometry teaching fourth year students at his office. Ziegler has also found time to fill the roles of team optometrist for professional cycling teams, Milwaukee Wave Professional Soccer Teams, the Milwaukee Bucks and he is currently part of the medical staff of the Milwaukee Brewers. In an effort to improve day-to-day interactions with patients, Ziegler said, "We continue to look at businesses that are outside of eyecare to find ways to improve the patient experience. We emulate companies like Disney or the Ritz-Carlton. Ziegler runs an optometric consulting company called Visionary Resources that creates personalized marketing tools for the private practitioner. "It starts with recall cards that have age-specific messages and the patient's name embedded in the photo utilizing digital variable printing. The doctors handwrite their personalized recommendations to the patient on informative brochures that give the patients a reason to purchase from us. "We also do personalized eyewear styling using an iPad app called the Eyewear Stylist to create a fun frame buying experience and to differentiate us from online and discount sources. Then we give the patient a personalized portfolio called the Eyewear Educator when they pick up their glasses that addresses them by name and describes the specific frame and lenses that they bought. This adds value to their purchase and increases patient loyalty," he said.

Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) blogger Tim Rains pointed to an updated security bulletin, MS080-014, dated March 19. The bulletin had originally been issued on March 11 during the Patch Tuesday update cycle, with the aim of addressing four "critical" fixes in Microsoft products, including a remote code execution flaw in Excel 2003.
The initial patch fixed Excel 2003's security problem, but unmasked the calculation problem too.
The revised bulletin MS080-014 points readers to an updated security update 943985 (buried in MS080-014's FAQ), which resolves the Excel 2003 calculation error. The 943985 security update states the following under "Resolution":
"Microsoft has completed research about this issue and has re-released security update 943985 for users of Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Service Pack 2 and of Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Service Pack 3." This rereleased Excel 2003 security fix also will be offered to users through Microsoft's Automatic Updates.
Blogger Rains explained that the Excel calculation error was associated with the use of real-time data in Excel, based on a "user-created Visual Basic for Applications solution." Such a setup returned an incorrect zero result after the initial Excel 2003 security patch had been applied.
The problem tended to affect "on-the-go finance types," according to expert opinion, and affected users tended to have "a custom-built VBA function" in place, Rains said.

The Biden administration is moving to end sweeping pandemic border restrictions known as Title 42 on May 23. The official announcement came Friday in an order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The spread of COVID-19 by migrants apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border has "ceased to be a serious danger to the public health," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky wrote.
Since March 2020, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has used the controversial public health order to quickly expel migrants at the border due to health concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Biden administration has largely continued this Trump-era policy despite criticism from immigrant advocates, who say the policy puts migrants in danger by forcing them to go to places like Haiti and Mexican border towns.
On March 12, the CDC announced it was dropping Title 42 for unaccompanied children, but left the policy in place for others migrants. Though under the Biden administration, DHS had already moved to exempt unaccompanied minors from Title 42. There have also been exceptions for many families traveling together.
The continued use of Title 42 had already been under scrutiny as the pandemic starts to wane in the U.S. Now Russia's invasion of Ukraine has also altered the conversation.
Even before Title 42, asylum-seekers have been prevented from legally entering the country at ports of entry. As Ukrainians have arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border — they haven't been able to fly directly to the U.S. because they don't have visas — there has been mounting pressure on the Biden administration to change the policy.
Advocates for immigrants say the U.S. should be welcoming of asylum-seekers, wherever they are from. "We are asking to revoke Title 42 and welcome people, whether they are coming from Ukraine, Haiti, Cameroon, Central America," Guerline Jozef, the executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, said earlier this month.
The policy change could mean more migrants arriving at the border
There have already been high numbers of apprehensions at the border, even during the pandemic — a number affected in part by how Title 42 works. If a migrant is expelled at the border under Title 42, there's no penalty or formal mark on their record. That has led many migrants to make repeated attempts to cross, hoping to avoid border patrol.
Many expect that lifting Title 42 will propel even more people to try to cross the border. With that restriction gone, smugglers and cartels in Central America will likely tell migrants it means that the border is open.
In a letter to DHS last week, a group of Republican senators, led by Florida's Rick Scott, asked about the agency's preparations for "the anticipated surge of illegal border crossings." They said Title 42 had been "an effective deterrent" to such crossings.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has repeatedly said that Title 42 is a public health measure, not an immigration policy.

The problem for MLB is that IGF-1 is banned but, like HGH, undetectable in urine tests. So why is MLB issuing this warning now? Tom Verducci has all of the answers, of course...
Major League Baseball issued its warning about a specific brand of deer antler spray not because it contains IGF-1, but because it added the product to its list of "potentially contaminated nutritional supplements."Way to try to save face, MLB. That was a lot of blockquoting. I'm exhausted. It's a good thing I ordered the IGF-1 starter kit from Nutronics Labs. I've been saying that we'll all be on HGH soon enough so why not get ahead of the curve with some ground up antler? It's not like they're harvesting unicorns, people. This stuff is natural. I think. Please refer back to "I'm not a scientist."
MLB, acting on reports from the drug-testing industry, warned the players that the deer spray can produce positive tests for methyltestosterone, a banned steroid under both the major league and minor league drug policies. The deer antler spray does not list methyltestosterone as one of its ingredients. The approved clinical use of methyltestosterone is to treat men with a testosterone deficiency and women with breast cancer or menopause-related symptoms.
You have to really stop and think about this warning to appreciate the layers to this cat-and-mouse game of PEDs. Baseball is warning its players not to spray under their tongues a product made out of the antlers of young deer -- not because it boasts a banned ingredient right there on its label, but because it could be "contaminated" with another banned substance that actually might show up on a drug test.
Stay tuned for the result of me spraying antler velvet under my tongue once the shipment arrives. I'm excited and nervous. I hope I don't grow hooves.

Here's What She's Really Thinking When You're Going Backdoor (With GIFs)
If you ask a man, there's nothing not to like about anal sex: it's different, it feels tighter, and because it isn't as common as vaginal intercourse or oral sex, it feels a little risque. Though many men may question if their girlfriend is really into the whole other-hole situation down there, it's estimated that around 86 percent of women have at least tried anal sex, even if it's something they haven't added into their sexual routines. But if you've gone to the backdoor with your lady more than once, you may wonder what the experience is like for her — and if it gets her as hot as it gets you.
The answer from women who have tried it — and liked it? Yes, it definitely gets them turned on (why else would they do it, huh?) but it's for different reasons than you would think. Here, women share what their experience of having anal sex is like — complete with GIFs, because, ya know, sometimes something so dirty requires a little humor:
Deciding To Try It
"My boyfriend and I had been dating for three years and he had always wanted to do it, and I was always scared. But it was his 30th birthday, we just got engaged and I thought it was worth a chance," says Hilary, 31, from New York. She added that her decision was made because she was so comfortable with him that she knew she could trust him with something very sensitive and potentially painful.
Backend Girl Chat
If you've wondered if women talk about their sex lives in vivid detail, you're right. Especially about this: "My best girlfriend and I drank a bottle of wine and spent hours Googling about what to do to prepare, what it would feel like and what to do afterwards," says Katie, 27, from Chicago. "My then-boyfriend didn't know any of that, but if I hadn't had talked to her, I would have never been comfortable going through with it."
Setting Ground Rules
For most women, it was important to set some basic guidelines with their partner before beginning the act. "My boyfriend and I talked about how we would take it slow, he would listen and stop at any point it felt really, really bad," says Hilary. While it might seem like a great idea to get drunk together and try it, having some basic parameters around how it'll go down and how you'll handle it will strengthen your bond and intimacy, and make it a more enjoyable experience for her. (Which means she would likely do it again!)
An Hour Before You Get There
If you're curious about what she's doing before the grand evening, it goes something like this: "I probably showered ten times before we had anal for the first time," says Madison, 29, from Miami. "I was so anxious about smells and stuff that I wanted to make sure everything was really clean." Other women also reported that they ate very clean for the day so there, um, wouldn't be noises, and some others got Brazilians in preparation.
During Foreplay
"My husband tried so, so, so hard to make the foreplay before we had anal really sweet and gentle, but all I was thinking the whole time was about how he was going to stick it there," says Nicole, 36, from Denver. "Even though it wasn't as great as foreplay usually is, it was definitely nice to have a lead up." Experts even recommend having traditional intercourse before having anal because it loosens up and relaxes her before trying something so jarring.
When It Begins
Even if you've done everything right, bought great lube and warmed her up, there's no doubt about it: it's going to hurt. And likely, pretty bad at first. "When my boyfriend and I had anal for the first time, he had me take deep breaths as he slowly went in," Katie says. "It was painful with every single movement until he was completely inside of me, and then after a minute, it started to feel good."
When It Starts to Feel Good
After the show gets started, the walls begin to stretch a bit and that adds a great amount of pressure to a woman's G-spot, making the sensation of anal sex way more intense than vaginal. "I love when I'm having anal with my guy and he starts touching my clit, it really sends me over the edge," Nicole adds.
The Finale
"The worst part about anal sex, frankly, is when he finishes," Hilary says. "Since we're married and we don't do it with a condom, the clean up is terrible." If you're having unprotected anal — and you both got checked out first before doing so, ahem! — keep in mind that a woman must lay for at least 10 minutes before getting up, and even when she does go to the restroom, the process of getting clean may take a while. "My husband and I probably have anal once a month or so, and he knows to let me be for a good hour after we're done," she adds.

text: Coal Mines Act, 1911), one in engineering, one in metallurgy, one for architects and builders, one for teachers (dealing with geology, physics, and chemistry), one on the electrification of collieries, and one on gas detection and analysis and by-product recovery. Further particulars can be obtained from the chief education official, County Hall, Cardiff. THE number of foreign students in German universities, according to the Nieuwe Courant, was 1438 during the last winter semester, as against 4715 in the previous summer. The decline is primarily due to the removal of about 2600 students belonging to hostile countries. The students from Austria-Hungary numbered 547, as against 814 last summer; the corresponding decline was :-For Switzerland from 312 to 146; for Rumania 146 to 111; for Bulgaria 131 to 105; for Holland there was an increase from 37 to 44. During the war foreign students have shown a strong preference for Berlin; the chief decline in their numbers being at Königsberg, Göttingen, Marburg, Munich, Strassburg, Freiburg, and Heidelberg. are are SEVERAL gifts in aid of higher education announced in the issue of Science for April 23. Harvard University receives 20,000l. by the will of the late Mr. James J. Myers, of Cambridge, Mass., and further bequests amounting to 14,600l., to be devoted to cancer research at the Harvard Medical School, announced. By the will of Mrs. L. L. Ogden Whaling, of Cincinnati, Miami University receives 54,000l. The residue of the estate is to be divided between Miami University and the Cincinnati Museum Association, and it is said that each institution may receive 40,000l. The Addison Brown collection of plants offered to Amherst College by Mrs. Brown in memory of her husband has now come into possession of the college. Containing many thousands of specimens collected in the United States, Mexico, Porto Rico, the Hawaiian Islands, and elsewhere, it is the largest accession ever received by the department. THE Imperial Department of Agriculture for the West Indies has issued revised courses of reading and examinations in practical agriculture. Reading courses have for some years been established under the direction of the department for the purpose of enabling overseers on estates, and others engaged in agriculture, to acquire by reading knowledge they can apply in their everyday work. Examinations are held periodically at various centres in the West Indies for persons who have previous been registered as students in reading courses. Registration in reading courses entitles students to certain publications of the department which are recommended for reading. The certificates awarded by the department at the examinations are intended to be a guarantee of a sound general knowledge of the fundamental principles underlying the practice of agriculture, and also a practical knowledge of at least two crops and their products, such as sugar, cacao, cotton, limes, rice, coco-nuts, and bananas. SOCIETIES AND ACADEMIES. Royal Society, May 6.-Sir Alfred Kempe, vicepresident and treasurer, in the chair.-G. W. Walker: Some problems illustrating the forms of nebulæ. The paper is concerned with the form of the surfaces of equal density when a quantity of gaseous material at uniform temperature, and following Boyle's law as regards pressure and density, is at rest under its own gravitation. The differential equation for these surfaces is not linear. In the two-dimensional case Pockels obtained the solution in terms of two arbitrary field functions of complex variables. In the paper the solution is put in a form which must give real positive density anywhere. Three cases only are considered which illustrate respectively aring nebula, a pear-shaped nebula, and a nebula with two equal nuclei. Some consequences of motion of the material are considered.Hon. R. J. Strutt: Observations on the resonance radiation of sodium vapour. (1) The centres emitting resonance radiation of sodium vapour excited by the D lines are not persistent enough to be carried along when the vapour is distilled away from the place of excitation. This result is extraordinary, because it contrasts absolutely with the behaviour of sodium vapour excited electrically. It also contrasts absolutely with the behaviour of mercury vapour, whether excited optically (2536 resonance radiation) or electrically. (2) The resonance radiation of sodium cannot be seen through even a very dilute layer of sodium vapour placed in front of it-a layer quite transparent to white light. This explains why the spot of superficial resonance produced on the wall of a glass bulb can only be seen from in front, when the light passes to the eye without traversing sodium vapour. From the back it cannot be seen, as Dunoyer has observed. (3) The resonance radiation of sodium vapour is changed in intensity when the vapour is placed in a magnetic field. If the exciting flame is weakly salted, the radiation diminishes with increasing strength. If the exciting flame is strongly salted, the radiation increases to a maximum and then diminishes again. (4) A change in intensity of resonance radiation can also be observed when the exciting flame is placed in the magnetic field. In this case a weak flame gives diminished radiation in the field, while a strong flame gives increased radiation in the field. (5) All the facts summarised under (3) and (4) can be explained qualitatively and quantitatively, so far as the available data will go, by taking into account the known Zeeman resolution of the D lines, and the observed width and structure of these lines as emitted by the flames used. The latter data were obtained by observation with a concave grating of high resolution.-Hertha Ayrton: Local differences of pressure near an obstacle in oscillating water. When the water is approaching the mean level there is a diminution of pressure, or partial vacuum, created in the lee of the obstacle. When the water is departing from the mean level the diminution of pressure continues high up on the lee side, but over the lower part there is a pressure in the opposite direction to that of the main stream. The jet in the first part of a swing is due to the local current created by the local difference of pressure; the vortex in the second part of the swing is due to the conjunction of the main stream with the opposing local current set up by the local pressure difference. Geological Society, April 14.-Dr. A. Smith Woodward, president, in the chair.-S. H. Warren: Further observations upon the Late Glacial, or Ponder's End, stage of the Lea Valley. With notes on the Mollusca by A. S. Kennard and B. B. Woodward. The paper is supplementary to one previously published, and describes additional sections which increase the range of the deposits. They have now been traced for a distance of 6 miles along the valley and 2 miles across it. The section at Hedge Lane, Lower Edmonton, shows several thick, and for the most part undisturbed, Arctic plant-beds, which occur in a deep Driftfilled channel. The relative levels and stratigraphy point to the conclusion that the Hedge Lane deposits belong to a slightly earlier stage of the Low-Terrace River-drift than the deposits of Ponder's End. Broadly speaking, they undoubtedly belong to the same group. It is suggested that it would be a convenience if the East Anglian word "platymore were adopted for the underlying eroded floor of country-rock beneath a later accumulation of drift. The importance of this "platymore" surface in the correlation of Drift deposits has been increasingly recognised during recent years. The view that the lower river-terraces are later than the higher river-terraces is supported. Further evidence is also brought forward in support of the view that the Arctic deposits form an integral part of the LowTerrace Drift. One section appears to suggest that the climate became nearly as temperate as that of the present day before the mammoth and woolly rhinoceros became extinct. com April 28.-Dr. A. Smith Woodward, president, in the chair.---Prof. G. A. J. Cole: A posite gneiss near Barna in the County of Galway. The great mass of granite west of Galway town is seen on its northern margin to be intrusive in a metamorphosed series of Dalradian quartzites, limestones, and mica-schists, and has received a foliation which is parallel with the bedding of this series; this foliation is ascribed by the author to the partial absorption of sheets of the bedded series into its mass. Traces of similar intermingling occur in Townparks (Galway town) and west of Barna. At Furbogh Bridge, the granite contains pink crystals of orthoclase, at times 10 cm. long in the direction of the vertical axis, and these have become stranded, as it were, among the foliation-planes of dark green biotiteschist, into which they were carried by an intimate intermingling of the granite with the schist into which it flowed. Quartz and smaller felspar-crystals from the granite abound in the resulting composite gneiss, and the general effect is comparable with that of igneous intermixtures described from County Down and Skye. In the Galway instance, however, there is no sign of general fusion of the invaded rock, which retains its original foliation and controls the structure of the composite mass.-Prof. S. H. Reynolds: Further work on the igneous rocks associated with the Carboniferous Limestone of the Bristol district. The paper gives an account of the additional information, concerning the Carboniferous volcanic rocks of north Somerset, which has become available, largely through digging trial-holes, since the publication in the Q.J.G.S. for 1904 (vol. lx.) of a paper by Prof. Lloyd Morgan and the author on the subject. The rocks occur at five localities:-(1) Goblin Combe; (2) Uphill; (3) Limeridge Wood, Tickenham; (4) Spring Cove and Milton Hill, Weston-super-Mare; and (5) Woodspring or Middle Hope. At Goblin Combe, as the result of digging nearly forty trial-holes, it was ascertained that the igneous rocks form two discontinuous, somewhat crescentic masses, each consisting of olivine-basalt overlain by a considerable thickness of calcareous tuff. At Uphill, the evidence obtained was insufficient to determine whether the basalt is a sill or a lava-flow. At Limeridge Wood, Tickenham, where only débris of basalt had previously been recorded, the presence of an oval mass measuring about 60 by 25 yards was proved by digging trial-holes, and the fact that it is completely surrounded by limestone indicates its intrusive character. Several additional exposures are described on Milton Hill, where the lava forms a band about 150 ft. thick. The lava at Middle Hope or Woodspring is shown to form an irregular and discontinuous mass. Royal Meteorological Society, April 21.- -Capt. H. G. Lyons, president, in the chair.-H. Helm Clayton : A study of the moving waves of weather in South America. It is the custom in most meteorological services for the forecaster to make a mental estimate of the changes to be anticipated during the succeeding twenty-four or forty-eight hours. In order to improve on this method and to raise forecasting from an art to a science, the author believes it is essential to replace estimates by quantitative measurements of expected changes and to make quantitative forecasts. He gave an interesting example of such a method as applied to one of the Argentine weather maps. -E. H. Chapman : Correlation between changes in barometric height at stations in the British Isles. This was an attempt to discover the relationships existing between the changes in the barometric height at one place and another during the same and also different intervals of time. The conclusion arrived at is that the best information for foretelling barometric changes at any station is from a station south-west of it, the statistical measure of the accuracy with which such a change can be foretold being expressed in a correlation coefficient. MANCHESTER. Literary and Philosophical Society, April 13.—Mr. F. Nicholson, president, in the chair.-H. Day: Some points bearing on the relationship of the fishes and the amphibia. The author deals with three specimens of the so-called parasphenoid bone in Rhadinichthys monensis from the Manchester Museum collection. The three specimens together give an excellent idea of both dorsal and ventral surfaces of the bone, so that an accurate description can be given, thus providing material for a determination of the relations and homology of this bone in the Crossopterygian fishes and in the primitive Reptilia and Amphibia. It was shown that in all these groups the bone is really compound, consisting of parasphenoid and basisphenoid combined, and also that the bone is remarkably constant in its form and relations. The remarkable constancy in form was contrasted with the entirely different form of parasphenoid which prevails in fossil and living Dipnoi, and was brought forward as a strong argument in favour of a development of the Tetrapoda from a Crossopterygian Ganoid stock rather than from the Dipnoi. Further, it was pointed out that in all cases this bone takes part in the suspension of the upper jaw, a process of the metapterygoid region of the palato-quadrate uniting with the basipterygoid process of the basisphenoid region of this compound para-basi-sphenoid bone. This "pedicular connection thus constitutes a form of autostyly common to the Crossopterygii and the primitive Amphibia and Reptilia, but totally different from the autostyly found in Dipnoi, which latter type is never found in the Tetrapoda. Hence the common pedicular autostyly forms another argument in favour of a Crossopterygian derivation of the Tetrapoda as opposed to the Dipnoian derivation. PARIS. Academy of Sciences, May 3.-M. Ed. Perrier in the chair.-Gaston Darboux: The representation on a plane of the surface of the fourth order with double conic.G. Bigourdan: The comparison of the scintillation and the instrumental undulations of celestial images under various influences.

The apparatus described facilitates walking and conceals the deformity.-J. Kampé de Fériet: A generalisation of the series of Lagrange and of Laplace.-Pierre Humbert : A figure of equilibrium of fluids in rotation.-E. Vaillant The laws of flow in drops through capillary orifices.-Léon Bloch: Optical resonance in the magnetic field.-A. Leduc : The determination of the ratio y by means of the velocity of sound. A discussion of the values of the ratio of the two specific heats of gases and vapours obtained from experimental determinations of the velocity of sound. The author concludes that the values of y thus obtained are generally inexact.-N. Arabu: Studies on the tertiary formations of the basin of the Sea of Marmora.-Henry Hubert: The distribution of rain in western Africa.-Henri Coupin: The morphogenic action of increased salinity on the marine bacteria. Increasing the salt percentage in the culture media of marine bacilli increases the length of the organisms and in some instances transforms them into true Spirillæ.-Robert Sorel Wounds received in battle and the sun cure. A list of cases cured in the Alexandra Hospital at Monte-Carlo by sun treatment.-Maxime Ménard: The radioscopic localisation of foreign bodies by the method of Hirtz. CALCUTTA. Asiatic Society of Bengal, April 7.-P. Brown: A preliminary note on the prehistoric cave paintings at Raigarh. These were originally discovered on the rock-surface of a shallow cave in the State of Raigarh, Central Provinces, by Mr. C. W. Anderson, of the B.N. Railway, in 1910. This note is the result of a visit to the caves in March, 1915, by the author and Mr. C. W. Anderson. Certain geological evidences were obtained on the occasion, such as agate implements, etc., which have been submitted to the Geological Survey for investigation. The cave containing the paintings is apparently only the ruin of a much larger excavation. At some remote age the entire front must have fallen in, thus hermetically sealing up the cave and preserving the drawings. At a much more recent date the débris which had thus closed up the opening broke away and slipped another stage down the cliff, exposing the remains of the paintings to view. The paintings are mainly hunting scenes, and in some instances bear a remarkable resemblance to the cave paintings at Cojul in Spain, which are said to be 50,000 years old. In the technique there is also a striking similarity to some of the "cross lined " pottery of prehistoric Egypt. The paintings are evidently of very great antiquity, probably older by thousands of years than any other paintings yet discovered in India.-J. Evershed: Sun-spots and prominences.-W. Burns and S. H. Prayag: Grafting the mango-inflorescence. Starting from the observation that the inflorescence of Mangifera indica, L., often becomes partly or wholly vegetative, a phenomenon already studied by Burkill and Bose, the authors give an account of experiments on the artificial production of mixed inflorescences by grafting an inflorescence either on a vegetative branch or on another inflorescence, the grafted inflorescence either dying after the ripening of the fruit which it bears or sometimes persisting and producing vegetative axillary branches.—M. O. Parthasarathy Iyengar: Observations on the defoliation of some Madras trees. author takes as his starting point the observation that, in Madras, trees do not remain in a leafless condition during the period of drought, but produce fresh leaves during the latter period, and he concludes that, in the case of Madras trees, the leaf-fall is not due to the failure of water-supply, but possibly due to the necessity of a replacement of the old by fresh, physiologically more efficient leaves, the greater efficiency of the latter being due to their cuticle being less permeable to water, to their stomatal mechanism being more perfect, to their being less charged with excretionary matter and less clogged by dust, and to greater vitality. The fall of the older leaves may also be caused by successful competition of the grow The ing young leaves for supply of materials. The author also directs attention to the fact that prolonged wet weather may cause trees to shed their leaves. He deals in greater detail with a group of trees-called by him the Odina group-which remain in a leafless condition for a considerable length of time, and which flower while in the leafless condition. Defoliation due to salt-laden sea-breezes is referred to, and a number of special cases are considered in greater detail.-P. F. Fyson: Note on the flora of the South Indian Highlands. The region considered comprises those parts of the Nilgiri and Palney Hills which rise above the 6500-ft. level. Forty-five per cent. of the 430 indigenous phanerogamic species are endemic in South India and Ceylon, 17 per cent. are shared with the Khasia Hills, 12 per cent. occur also in the temperate Himalayas, and 9 per cent. are Chinese and Japanese.-W. F. Smeeth: The geological history of southern India. A general account of the geology of Mysore.-H. C. Das-Gupta: Palæontological notes from Hazara.

N the Chemical News of April 30 there is a very moderate article emphasising what has been frequently preached in vain the necessity of a close connection between the public Services and men of science. It is argued that the present is a special opportunity of again advocating the necessity of intimate co-ordination of effort; the societies have ever been willing to render gratuitous service; the Royal Society, for example, has for long put at the disposal of the Government the knowledge and advice of experts in all branches of science. The writer of the article, however, directs attention to the comparative scarcity of young men trained in research, and points out that it is by no means easy for a young graduate to obtain employment otherwise than by teaching. To rectify this state of affairs, he suggests the foundation of research institutes, where such young men could find employment (remunerative, it is to be presumed). These institutes should, it is remarked, be directed by men of eminence in their own branches, free from the irksome duty of teaching. The writer of the article further points out that while the average quality of German research is not high, still its quantity is great; and that British inventiveness is relatively higher. It is questionable whether his statement holds that the result of the German methods of scientific education has been the production of men of resource, men who are able to act promptly and on their own initiative in emergency; this power he believes that we British lack in the present crisis. I do not agree; it is not that power in which we are deficient, but the faculty of organisation, where each man is willing to do only the share which is allotted to him. That is the essential characteristic of the German; he lacks originality, but is content to form a cog in a system of wheels directed from above. Nor are the brains of this human machine original; they have learned how to appropriate and render commercial the ideas of inventors, chiefly those of the non-Germanic nations. The deputations to Mr. Runciman and Mr. Pease of members of the Royal and the Chemical Societies, and of the Societies of Chemical Industry and Analysts, reported on in NATURE of May 13 (p. 295), urged the appointment of a Standing Committee, serving the purpose of an intelligence department, and also helping the large and growing chemical industries of the country It in the same way that the Commercial Intelligence Department serves merchants and traders. was pointed out that the expansion of the chemical industries of the country requires co-operation between science and manufacturers, and that an increase in the number of research workers is desirable. The speakers also insisted on the need of a more intelligent appreciation of the significance of original scientific work by the Government. To these remarks Mr. Runciman and Mr. Pease made sympathetic replies. On the evening of the same day on which the report appeared in NATURE, Mr. Pease announced in the House the intention of the Government to create an Advisory Council on Industrial Research -a committee of experts who would be able to consult with other expert committees working in different directions, and associated with leaders of industry. "He was now considering names." Now, we do not doubt the good will of the members of the Cabinet, but we distrust their judgment in this matter. The handling of the dye scheme was, to say the least of it, very unfortunate. There are two German works, one the Mersey works, a branch of the "Badische," and one at Ellesmere Port, a branch of the German works at Höchst, which might have been associated forcibly with this combine with advantage to the country; moreover, the total lack of chemical talent on the directorate does not argue for its success, as the public has testified by failing to subscribe the issue. The two "eminent chemists" who advised the Government on the dye scheme doubtless do not thank the member of the Cabinet for their unsought publicity. These and other similar instances lead us to mistrust the judgment of Mr. Pease and his colleagues on questions involving science. There is certainly room for a chemical council, and I had already prepared a draft scheme about two months ago, which has been submitted to, and has had the general approval of, several of our leading industrial chemists. Perhaps it might help were an outline of the scheme to be given here. It is headed "A Draft Scheme of a Chemical Council of State." The clauses are as follow : 1. The dependence of the welfare of a country on its chemists is obvious. Chemistry lies at the basis of practically all manufactures. Continental nations and the United States have long acknowledged this. 2. Great Britain is behind no nation in the eminence of its chemists. But inducements are lacking to persuade young men to accept minor |

Recent reports alleging that lavender and tea tree oil may be causing breast growth in young boys has little substance, is a product of poor reasoning, and is cast into doubt on many grounds, states the Australian Tea Tree Industry Association (ATTIA).
After consultation with numerous research scientists by Christopher Dean, Chairman of the Australian Tea Tree Oil Industry Technical and Safety Committee, the group requested a retraction from the Journal of New England Medicine in relation to an article it had published, titled "Prepubertal Gynecomastia Linked to Lavender and Tea Tree Oil."
According to ATTIA, many researchers and scientists examined this article and raised concern about the poor methodology and conclusions that reportedly were not supported by science. In the group's response statement to the industry, it claimed that "When such science is amplified by publication in a respected journal and the media beats up the story, it has damaging consequences out of all proportion to the facts."
ATTIA also added that this article was uncritically reported around the world, which caused alarm, commercial impacts and fear.
The tea tree industry reports it has a long history of documenting all adverse events reported, and two of the largest companies selling retail products, with global sales of over 150 million units of tea tree products over three decades, have never had an instance of this side effect reported.
This published paper is said to consist of two separate parts that have no scientific connection. Part one describes three clinical case studies of prepubertal gynecomastia. Part two describes a cell culture assay of the estrogenic activity of lavender oil and tea tree oil. According to ATTIA, a scientific basis would require that dosages and routes of administration could be related to each other quantitatively.
Unpublished skin penetration studies for tea tree oil conducted at the University of Queensland by Sheree Cross, PhD, claimed to show that only extremely small amounts of three of the over 100 components found in tea tree oil have been found to penetrate the surface of the skin so that any oestrogen receptor activity by tea tree oil in vitro is not relevant to topical application of tea tree products. This may be true with lavender as well, claims ATTIA.
According to the group, this publication is unscientific. The conclusion stated in the summary is not supported by the cell culture studies. The authors show no curiosity at all about the difficulties in attempting to connect the cell culture studies with the case studies scientifically and a retraction is warranted.

Corsair Announces Transition Plan for Force Series Solid-state Drives
FREMONT, California — February 18, 2011 — Corsair®, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced its plans for the upcoming transition from 34 nanometer to 25 nanometer flash chips used on its solid-state drives.
"There is a lot of confusion in the market about the impact the move from 34 to 25nm flash will have on both the price and the performance of solid-state drives," said John Beekley, VP of Technical Marketing at Corsair. "We've been working closely with SandForce to ensure the smoothest possible transition and we're sharing the details today."
Flash memory manufacturers are transitioning to using 25nm process for fabrication, allowing them to boost capacity and reduce costs, which in turn will allow SSD suppliers to pass those savings to the consumer. The downside is that SSDs built using 25nm flash ICs may require more over-provisioning (a technique used to ensure reliability) which lowers the capacity of the SSD and may also see a reduction in performance.
"The Corsair and SandForce engineering teams have been working closely with the key flash memory suppliers to profile and qualify 25nm parts," continued Beekley, "and we've been running our Force drives through performance and reliability testing alongside them. We're pleased with the progress that's been made in getting the Force Series 25nm drives ready to ship to customers."
In the Corsair Labs, using the ATTO synthetic benchmark, only a small reduction in performance (roughly 3-4%) was seen when testing Force Series SSDs built with 25nm flash. Real-world tests, such as copying groups of files or measuring Windows boot times, support the ATTO results and show little to no performance loss. However, the over-provisioning needed means that in some cases the capacity of the drives will be reduced.
"So that our customers are perfectly clear about what they are getting, we will be changing the model numbers on all 25nm based drives and transitioning the drive capacities we offer where necessary. For example, a drive that would have been sold as 120GB when built with 34nm flash will be launched as a 115GB version," said Jared Peck, Global Product Marketing Manager for SSDs at Corsair, "All Force Series drives built with 25nm flash will also have a '-A' suffix on the part and/or model number, making it easy to determine exactly what you're getting."
Force Series 115GB and 80GB 25nm drives will be available by the end of February from Corsair's worldwide network of resellers and distributors. The F115-A has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $215 and the F80-A has an MSRP of $169 in the U.S. For comparison the current Force Series F120 has an MSRP of $249 and the F80 has an MSRP of $199.

This cartridge was developed by George Gibbs of Bristol in 1911 and originally intended for use in double rifles, but somewhere along the road he changed his mind and turned it into a rimless round for use in magazine rifles, for which there was a flourishing market. The .505 Gibbs is a highly specialized cartridge intended as an elephant stopper for hunters who prefer a magazine rifle for this purpose. It is one of the old English big bore cartridges, whose reputation far exceeds its actual use It was made famous by Ernest Hemingway in his short story "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and the famous John A. Hunter also preferred a .505 for hunting elephant.
Actually the first rifle of this caliber was finished by the Gibbs company in 1914, and the first world war delayed the production of further rifles until 1919. Accordingly it reached the African game fields at the very end of professional elephant hunting and never became widespread.
It is not only equal to but exceeds the power of its rimmed cousin, the .500 Nitro Express. In European nomenclature it would be called 12,8x80. A 525 grain bullet propelled at 2300 fps gives an awesome recoil and rifles necessarily have to be heavy to reduce this to a tolerable level.
