Internship Placement Form
Eighty percent of Fordham students complete internships before they graduate. Internships are an incredibly valuable experience, and provide tremendous opportunity for professional growth and development. As a student in New York City, there are endless opportunities in varied and diverse fields. Meet with a career counselor and learn how to begin your internship search today.
Why Should I Get an Internship?
An internship is the best way to develop your professional skills, learn about the day-to-day tasks within your field of interest and gain relevant hands on experience.
Participating in an internship is a great way to learn about your interests, skills and professional values. Interning allows you test out potential career choices and can help you discover your ideal work style and preferred work environment.
Internships are a great resume builder. Employers typically seek candidates with experience, and having at least one internship experience on your resume will speak to your ability to transition into a full-time job.
An internship is a great networking opportunity. It is important to establish strong, relationships with professionals in your field. These individuals may be helpful in your career search, or can be utilized for professional references.
An internship can help you secure a job. There is no guarantee that an internship with a company will lead to a full-time job with the organization, but many companies hire from previous intern pools. Employers hire standout interns so remember to showcase your skills and professionalism at all times.

Mandatory Microchips
All British dogs must be microchipped by 2016

Since I suffer from an auto-immune disease, I have to admit that I have always been leery of having my dogs microchipped. It seems to me to be asking for trouble.
My veterinarian and his staff was surprised when I, who they know as a very hands-on dog mom, told them I didn't want to have my new collie puppy microchipped when he was neutered. Knowing that I would have anything implanted in me, I feel strongly that I owe my dogs' health the same consideration.

Are there any flu shot or nasal spray vaccine side effects in adults or in children?
Although annual influenza (injectable) vaccination has long been recommended for people in the high-risk groups, many still do not receive the vaccine, often because of their concern about side effects. They mistakenly perceive influenza as merely a nuisance and believe that the vaccine causes unpleasant side effects or that it may even cause the flu. The truth is that influenza vaccine causes no side effects in most people. The most serious side effect that can occur after influenza vaccination is an allergic reaction in people who have a severe allergy to eggs, since the viruses used in the vaccine are grown in hens' eggs. For this reason, people who have an allergy to eggs should not receive the influenza vaccine. Also, the vaccine is not recommended while individuals have active infections or active diseases of the nervous system. Less than one-third of those who receive the vaccine have some soreness at the vaccination site, and about 5%-10% experience mild side effects, such as headache, low-grade fever, or muscle cramps, for about a day after vaccination. These side effects are most likely to occur in children who have not been exposed to influenza virus in the past. The intradermal shots reportedly have similar side effects as the IM shot but are less intense and may not last as long as the IM shot.
Nevertheless, some older people remember earlier influenza vaccines that did, in fact, produce more unpleasant side effects. Vaccines produced from the 1940s to the mid-1960s were not as highly purified as modern influenza vaccines, and it was these impurities that caused most of the side effects. Since the side effects associated with these early vaccines, such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue, were similar to some of the symptoms of influenza, people believed that the vaccine had caused them to get the flu. However, injectable influenza vaccine produced in the United States has never been capable of causing influenza because it consists of killed virus.
Another type of influenza vaccine (nasal spray) is made with live attenuated (altered) influenza viruses. This vaccine is made with live viruses that can stimulate the immune response enough to confer immunity but do not cause classic influenza symptoms (in most instances). The nasal spray vaccine (Flumist) is only approved for healthy individuals ages 2-49 years of age. This nasal spray vaccine contains live attenuated virus (less able to cause flu symptoms due to a designed inability to replicate at normal body temperatures). This live vaccine could possibly cause the disease in infants and immunocompromised people and does not produce a strong immune response in many older people. Side effects of the nasal spray vaccine include nasal congestion, sore throat, and fever. Headaches, muscle aches, irritability, and malaise have also been noted. In most instances, if side effects occur, they only last a day or two. This nasal spray has been produced for conventional flu viruses and should not be given to pregnant individuals or anyone who has a medical condition that may compromise the immune system because in some instances the flu may be a side effect. Caregivers should read the vaccine precaution insert before giving any vaccine, injectable or nasal, as these inserts are occasionally updated.
Some people do not receive influenza vaccine because they believe it is not very effective. There are several different reasons for this belief. People who have received influenza vaccine may subsequently have an illness that is mistaken for influenza, and they believe that the vaccine failed to protect them. In other cases, people who have received the vaccine may indeed have an influenza infection. Overall vaccine effectiveness varies from year to year, depending upon the degree of similarity between the influenza virus strains included in the vaccine and the strain or strains that circulate during the influenza season. Because the vaccine strains must be chosen nine to 10 months before the influenza season, and because influenza viruses mutate over time, sometimes mutations occur in the circulating virus strains between the time the vaccine strains are chosen and the next influenza season ends. These mutations sometimes reduce the ability of the vaccine-induced antibody to inhibit the newly mutated virus, thereby reducing vaccine efficacy. This commonly occurs with the conventional flu vaccines as the specific virus types chosen for vaccine inclusion are based on reasoned projections for the upcoming flu season. Occasionally, the vaccine does not match the actual predominating virus strain and is not very effective in generating a specific immune response to the predominant infecting flu strain. For the 2011-2012 flu season, the seasonal trivalent vaccine contains a H1N1 strain (swine flu strain) of virus that was one of the predominating pandemic viral strains in 2009-2010. Fortunately, it also contains the H3N2 virus that predominated in a few regions in 2010-2011. However, it does not protect well against the newest type H3N2v strain that has appeared in 2012.
Vaccine efficacy also varies from one person to another. Studies of healthy young adults have shown influenza vaccine to be 70%-90% effective in preventing illness. In the elderly and those with certain chronic medical conditions such as HIV, the vaccine is often less effective in preventing illness. Studies show the vaccine reduces hospitalization by about 70% and death by about 85% among the elderly who are not in nursing homes. Among nursing-home residents, vaccine can reduce the risk of hospitalization by about 50%, the risk of pneumonia by about 60%, and the risk of death by 75%-80%. If antigenic drift results in changing the circulating virus from the strains used in the vaccine, vaccine efficacy may be reduced. However, the vaccine is still likely to lessen the severity of the illness and to prevent complications and death.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Dr. Brian Long's monthly check of southwest Michigan's Industrial economy shows that it's gone flat, statistically.But the Kalamazoo based economist says the business leaders he surveys remain very optimistic about 2013.
He says some of the businesses he surveys are peaking...leveling off at a high rate, perhaps the highest in their history, but not growing.
Dr. Long says perhaps its because looming right around the corner is another congressional fight over a budget extension and the sequester next month in Washington.
He says the optimism is also running high in the national survey, despite Congress, and their inability to trim costs.
DETROIT WKZO --A survey of the entire state's business leaders also shows there is a lot of optimism that 2013 will be a good year.
60% of the membership of the Business Leaders for Michigan Survey say they are so optimistic they plan to hire new workers in the next two quarters. Nearly two thirds added jobs last year.
President Doug Rothwell says they are far more optimistic about Michigan's economy than the nations' business men, which is a big switch from just a year or two ago.
55% of the business roundtable think Michigan's economy will get better over the next six months and none of them thought it would get worse.

Gestalt psychology attempts to understand psychological phenomena by viewing them as organised and structured wholes rather than the sum of their constituent parts. Thus, Gestalt psychology dissociates itself from the more 'elementistic'/reductionistic/decompositional approaches to psychology like structuralism (with its tendency to analyse mental processes into elementary sensations) and it accentuates concepts like emergent properties, holism, and context.
In the 30s and 40s Gestalt psychology was applied to visual perception, most notably by Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka who founded the so-called gestalt approaches to form perception. Their aim was to investigate the global and holistic processes involved in perceiving structure in the environment (e.g. Sternberg 1996). More specifically, they tried to explain human perception of groups of objects and how we perceive parts of objects and form whole objects on the basis of these. The investigations in this subject crystallised into "the gestalt laws of perceptual organization." Some of these laws, which are often cited in the HCI or interaction design community, are as follows.
The law of proximity posits that when we perceive a collection of objects, we will see objects close to each other as forming a group. In figure 1.A., we perceive the MTV logo and the logo for the Europe Music Awards as forming a group in the top left corner and the logos of the sponsors as forming a group in the bottom right corner. The white space separating the two groups of logos is used to indicate 'grouping', and the proximity of the logos of each groups is thus used to this end. Thus, a semantic separation of 'organisers' from 'sponsors' is achieved via structuring the graphical layout in accordance with this simple principle of perceptual organisation.
Figure 1.B is taken from Kazaa Media Desktop, where the law of proximity is used in designing the user interface of the popular peer-to-peer (P2P) software. As shown by the screen dump, the user can choose between P2P and web search. The group of radio buttons underneath are only associated with the P2P search and not the web search. To signal this association to the user, the vertical row of radio buttons are placed comparatively closer to the P2P-search radio button.
Figure 1.C is a typical textbook example, exemplifying how the law of proximity groups the items into 3 groups as opposed to 8 individual items.
The law of similarity captures the idea that elements will be grouped perceptually if they are similar to each other. In the "preferences window" of the Opera browser (figure 2.A), colour is used to make the user group the menu items on the basis of their background colour. The grey background of the first four menu items thus "tie them together". Figure 2.B. is a typical textbook example of the principle of similarity, whereby we see the circles and triangles as forming four horizontal rows (or at least some configuration where triangles and circles are grouped depending on their shape). Objects similar to each other thus tend to be seen as a unit.
Edgar Rubin, a Danish psychologist, was the first to systematically investigate the figure-ground phenomenon. The phenomenon captures the idea that in perceiving a visual field, some objects take a prominent role (the figures) while others recede into the background (the ground). The visual field is thus divided into these two basic parts. This effect is often used by smart logo makers, as figure 3.A, B, and C suggest: The logo of visitnorway.com can be viewed as both three separate elements of blue, green and navy colour. It may, however, also be viewed as a person stretching his/her arms into the air. Similarly, the logo of the Gnome Desktop Environment (figure 3.B.) can be viewed as both a "G" and a footprint. Lastly, the Macintosh logo can be viewed as a regular happy face and a happy face in profile (looking at a computer screen).
Common to these logos is that you can focus on only one "interpretation" at a time; you cannot observe both the figure and ground at the same time, as ground will become figure when shifting the focus.
It should be noted that the figure-ground is most often exemplified using the Rubin Face/Vase Illusion, named after Edgar Rubin.
The law of symmetry captures the idea that when we perceive objects we tend to perceive them as symmetrical shapes that form around their centre. Most objects can be divided in two more or less symmetrical halves and when for example we see two unconnected elements that are symmetrical, we unconsciously integrate them into one coherent object (or percept). The more alike objects are, they more they tend to be grouped.
In the above (figure 4.A), CSC Finland's logo is perceived as an integral whole although the two constituent geometrical shapes seem to be pointing in different directions and have differing colours.
A typical textbook example of the law of symmetry (figure 4.B.), consists of a configuration of a number of brackets. When perceiving the configuration, we see three pairs of symmetrical brackets as opposed to 6 individual brackets, or two pairs and two singles. This happens despite what is suggested by some of the brackets immediate proximity to each other.
The law of closure posits that we perceptually close up, or complete, objects that are not, in fact, complete. In the above, we perceive the letters 'I', 'B', and 'M' although the shapes we see, in fact, are only lines of white space of differing length hovering above each other. Similarly, we see the figure on Paul Thagard's book (figure 5.B.) as forming a three-dimensional box although all we see, in fact, is 24 dissimilar red shapes (count for yourself!) on a dark red background. Figure 5.C. is the typical textbook example of the law of closure; we perceive a circle and not 8 individual circles.
The Gestalt approach can be said to be a "bottom-up" theory as it starts from the bottom (the aspects of the stimuli that influence perception) and work its way up to higher-order cognitive processes. An example of another bottom-up theory (of perception) that is well-known in the HCI community is James Gibson's theory of "direct perception" (see affordances and perception).

Content and Layout The author of this article has made clever use of both proximity and similarity. Each law is accompanied by three illustrations grouped together by both closeness and a colloured box. By using this structure he emphasizes his points and shows how the Gestalt principles can be used in everyday web design. Well done!
A very good article showing gestalt laws for web. All examples are carefully chosen and annoted carefully.
I love this article. When teaching web interface design I'd used different terms--alignment, grouping, color similarity, shape/scale similarity, style similarity, as well as proximity--for the same purpose.
I didn't have good reference material to back me up, though. I like how you have correlated software UI design patterns to those of "A typical textbook example," however, would have much prefered actual text book source attribution (more work, I know...).
Thanks for your project. I like this site. KEEP IT UP..
I am taking a pychology course and this has really helped me to better understand the principles. I couldn't find a terrible amount of stuff on this topic that helped me but this worked perfectly.
really liked the article, and appreciate the examples focused on UI design patterns.
you explained things really well. thanks!
I appreciate the examples of what I have already seen in my psychology textbooks and being able to relate them to UI design (which I am new at).
I love this article.. Am taking Psychology Class for my Criminal Justice, and the articles make me more uderstand. Thanks.
This article is flawed in a few ways. For one, which is also its primary criticism (although usually left in favor of Structural Information Theory, I still think it's of great value to the user interface design field).
Secondly, the term Pr�gnanz is _not_ synonymous to the figure-ground principle. Rather, it is used to refer to the basic Gestalt principle of 'conciseness', which the entire theory is based upon. Also, the examples shown under the 'figure-ground' section are examples of 'multistability', _not_ figure-ground.
Please do your homework before attempting to write an article on the subject!
Amazing article. Currently studying psychology with computing, and this article gave me closure, as to what gestalt theory is about.
The article provides good explaination of the gestalt principles in form perception,along with adequete examples.
Ro Achterberg's statement is interesting. I have always been taught to see and understand the example given above as Figure-Ground, and other examples, as Figure-Ground. I had heard nothing of Multistability. Having done some quick research, I'd say Multistability does seem to describe exactly what is happening in the examples here named as Figure-Ground. Although, I don't see any direct, explicit ties between Multistability and Gestalt. If the examples given are not properly describing Figure-Ground, I would like to see an example that IS properly describing Figure-Ground.
There are some nice examples of Gestalt form perception here. It seems to me however that example 4B illustrates the principle of closure more than symmetry. If one reverses the brackets e.g.,
Fig1: ] [] [] [
the symmetry relationships of the first and second brackets are the same i.e., both the figures
Fig2: ] [
Fig3: [ ]
have reflective symmetry on the horizontal and vertical axes as well as rotational symmetry. Yet in Fig1, the first and second brackets are no longer grouped together.
I think what is really going in example 4B is that the separate brackets form an incomplete rectangular box which are grouped according to the closure principle.
I would like to see example 4B replaced with a clearer "textbook example" of the symmetry principle.
pls tell me how a teacher can use this figure & ground principle for effective teaching learning process? pls clarify me
Very interesting article, I am studying Psychology at University, this has helped me to understand Gestalt Psychology in more detail.
really liked the article, examples are superb
Great stuff lads
i am taking a psychology class and im getting ready for my midterm and the law of closure we didnt go over in class but it is on the test so this has helped alot. thanks
This is really very interesting. More such examples will be greatly appreciated.
This is a whole lot of help.. Thank you so much!!
I like it; Although elsewhere I understod Pragnanz rather as the identification of familiar shapes rather than those which are not familiar. e.g.,when a square and a triangle cross, we see these two shapes rather than the parts cut by the intersection?

Fixed the gate and fencing. Cleaned the fire pit area, speaking of which, while cleaning the fire pit, I thought I had to pull out some dollar bills. Al LaFrance started dancing around yelling, or maybe it was singing, and then he dropped his pants and skivvies. Did he think he was a stripper looking for tips? No, a couple of yellow jackets flew up his shorts and stung him on the thigh and butt cheek. After we realized he was OK, we had to laugh. Ed Wright took a stinger on the wrist too. The only casualties of the day.

This was Cowboys-Eagles, right? Two of the NFL's most high-powered offenses against two of the worst defenses in the league? Chip Kelly's quick pace against
So much for that.
In a game that was far from the high-octane shootout many expected, Dallas came out on top, 17-3, and in the process, improved its record to 4-3 and took sole possession of first place in the NFC East.
The Cowboys came into this affair ranked second in the NFL in points per game (30.5) and 13th in yards per outing (349.8). Likewise, the Eagles owned the fourth-highest average in points (27.7) and were third in yards (499.8).
On the defensive side of the ball, Dallas had surrendered an average of 25.3 points per game, which was 21st in the NFL, its 413.2 yards given up per contest, ranking 30th. For their part, the Eagles defense ranked dead last in yards per game (420.2) and 29th in points (29.8).
All the makings for video-game-type numbers.
Except the Dallas defense, picked apart in recent weeks, was stellar. With
Meanwhile, although the Cowboys struggled themselves to move the ball in the first half, punter
Making his 100th career start, Tony Romo, who aired it out more as the game went along, posted 317 passing yards and a touchdown. With his performance, he now has more completions and more passing yards than any quarterback in history through his first 100 starts.
The primary beneficiary of all that throwing was
Fellow rookie
Still, it wasn't a pretty beginning. In fact, midway through the second quarter, the two teams had combined for more punts (11) than first downs (10). And, the only points in the first half came late in the second frame, when Dallas started on its own 36-yard line, and finally worked deep into enemy territory, reaching the Philly 20. Romo had connections of 14, 15 and10 yards to
On their next possession, the Eagles tried to even things up, crossing midfield to the Cowboys 42. But on fourth-and-1 with 14 seconds left, Philadelphia curiously elected to try a 60-yard field goal rather than go for it and Alex Henery's attempt, while long enough, sailed wide left.
But after picking up the field goal before the break, the Cowboys gained more momentum as the second half got underway. Things got started when
From there, Romo kept the offense spread out, and kept Bryant active, as he hit the receiver on passes of 12, 11 and 19 yards during the drive, the last getting the Cowboys down to the Philly 2-yard line. And while Dallas seemed destined for another field goal when a third down pass attempt to Bryant fell incomplete in the end zone, a pass interference call on the Eagles gave the visitors a first down at the 2.
On the very next snap,
The Eagles tried to make a game of it, and after Romo was picked off by linebacker DeMeco Ryans, returning it to the Dallas 30, seemed to be in prime position to narrow the gap. But from there, Philadelphia could muster only 17 more yards and had to settle for a 31-yard field goal as the clock ticked into the fourth quarter, the score 10-3.
But any thoughts of a comeback were quickly squashed by the Cowboys, as Romo marched his team 72 yards in 10 plays. The quarterback efficiently spread the ball around, connecting on passes to Bryant, Randle,
With Foles leaving the game with concussion symptoms, rookie Matt Barkley made his NFL debut at quarterback, and didn't fare much better for the Eagles, throwing an interception to
On his third drive, the youngster had the Eagles on the doorstep, reaching the Dallas 12-yard line, but with just over a minute left on the clock, cornerback
With the victory, the Cowboys captured their first road win of the 2013 season, and moved into sole possession of first place in the NFC East. They'll next head to Detroit to take on the Lions, who are also 4-3 after losing today to the Bengals.

Nike's foolish $8 billion stock buyback
There are better uses for the athletic apparel maker's money.
CEOs usually make similar comments about buybacks, but in Nike's case, investors shouldn't take the company's word.
Yahoo pundit Jeff Macke correctly noted in a tweet that "a huge buyback w/ shares $10 off all-time highs is foolish." Indeed, Nike shares are trading at a price-to-earnings multiple of 20.65, near their five-year high of 22.86, according to Reuters. Wall Street analysts have an average 52-week price target of $106.07, about 9% higher than where the stock currently trades. That forecast, however, may be wishful thinking, given Nike's recent struggles. Its shares have barely budged this year.
Nike is buying back shares because it doesn't have better ideas about how to deploy its cash. Macke told me via Twitter that Nike could have used the money to develop in-store shops, hike its dividend, make an acquisition or simply do nothing. I would add paying down debt to the list.
Acquisitions, though, seem like a good bet for the athletic apparel maker. Nike, sitting on about $2 billion in cash, could easily afford to buy rivals such as trendy yoga apparel maker Lululemon Athletica (LULU), which has a market cap of about $11 billion. There are cheaper options, such as Crocs (CROX) and Sketchers (SKX), which each have market caps of about $1 billion.
Investors view buybacks the same way kittens look at tin foil balls -- shiny objects that hold their attention for a few seconds at most.
Jonathan Berr does not own shares of the listed stocks. Follow him on Twitter@jdberr. An earlier version of this story incorrectly described Jeff Macke as CNBC pundit.

The bust is coming! Told ya so!
I saw an article on yahoo page and it said that Bernanke would ruin the U.S. by 2013 by giving the Billions and Billions to wall street. I wrote to Bernanke, the fed, the white house, and Obama and told them we need to get rid of him and the whole administration before they run the U.S. into bankruptcy.
Get the feds out of wall street and let the chips fall as they may. If it were your own business the feds wouldn't send you billions, so why should they give wall street money to keep making profits? If threy fold then let them fold!@!!!!!!

Message in a Bottle From WHOI Ship Turns Up 58 Years Later
By: SAM HOUGHTON, February 7, 2014
A glass bottle containing a type-written note dating back to the 1950s was found on an island off Nova Scotia on January 20. The bottle was part of a Woods Hole project.
The note inside, a yellowed piece of paper, identifies the bottle as no. 21588. According to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's archivist David Sherman, no. 21588 is one of 12 bottles released from the research vessel Albatross III on April 26, 1956, at 8:30 PM not far off Nova Scotia.
The note begins: "This bottle is one of several hundred released at sea to study ocean currents. The exact place and date of release has been recorded and is on file." The note continues with more details of the WHOI-initiated project, and then ends, "Your cooperation in giving accurate information will be of great aid."
Warren N. Joyce, a shark technician for the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Canada, found the bottle while combing a beach in Novia Scotia.
Of the 12 bottles from 1956, Mr. Sherman said that he believes four others washed ashore and were found.
"I go to Sable Island every year and always keep an eye out for bottles after finding a note from a gentleman in Florida back in 2009," Mr. Joyce said in a written response from Canada. "My main thought was that I was fortunate to find a second one," he said after coming across the bottle.
"We had been conducting a census of tagged seals on the island and while looking for marked animals, I stopped in a little sand gully by a small pond just in from the beach. I looked down at some garbage that had collected in this little gully and there were about 4-5 bottles sitting there," his response continued. "One in particular was plugged and had a piece of paper inside. I picked it up and immediately saw the words "Break this Bottle" through the sand blasted glass. I could see from the writing that it had been sent out from Woods Hole and offered a reward of $0.50 for the return information (which made me think it was old)... Once home, I made a quick search on the internet and found information on Dean Bumpus' work in the 1960's and 1970's which made me think this was one of the bottles he deployed."
Mr. Sherman confirmed Mr. Warren's findings. The bottle was part of a project initiated by Dean F. Bumpus to study ocean currents on the surface of the ocean.
Mr. Bumpus began his career in 1937 as a biological technician at WHOI, where he worked for 40 years. There he helped engineer these "drifters" or glass bottles.
Mr. Sherman said the scientists would drop a block of bottles together in groups of varying sizes, mostly in dozens, sixes and twos.
Reward for Found Bottles
The bottles would eventually spread out and float on the surface of the ocean measuring the current. Those who came across them were awarded 50 cents if they returned the bottles with information, including the whereabouts of the found bottle.
"It was very useful information then," Mr. Sherman said. Today, the technology has advanced, he said, but these floaters proved useful, albeit basic ocean data about currents and the travel paths of objects in the water.
After finding the bottle and finding the origins, Mr. Joyce returned to the bottle to WHOI. "Don't worry about the 50 cents," he wrote in a blind e-mail to a generic WHOI address, "firstname.lastname@example.com." Upon its arrival, WHOI officials confirmed the historic document.
"There's been a lot of attention over this," Mr. Sherman said. "In a historical perspective, it is interesting."
Of the 12 bottles from 1956, Mr. Sherman said that he believes four others washed ashore and were found: one in Eastham on the Cape; two others in Nova Scotia; and one in Florida, though those bottles were found close to the date of release.
Message In A Bottle
WHOI detailed the story of the historical find yesterday in its Oceanus Magazine. You can read that story here.
"There is something intriguing about finding [a bottle]," Mr. Joyce said. "For me, it's mostly where it had come from and why someone sent it in the first place, and how long it might have been at sea.
"The bottle I found in 2009 was just a plastic water bottle with a man's business card and a US $1 bill. That had been the first message in a bottle I had found. When I wrote him he said he had been sailing in the Gulf Stream off Florida and just decided to toss a bottle over to see where it would go. Quite a few have been recovered on Sable Island by others over the years."
Mr. Bumpus also added other components to his "floaters" over the course of this research.
In article published in the Enterprise on May 9, 1961, a report read, "Modern design and materials have at last caught up with the bottom drift bottle used for generations by marine scientists to study currents along the ocean bottom.
"Shaped like long-stemmed mushrooms, the drifters are designed to settle to the bottom and move along with the current until they are scooped up in a fisherman's dredge or perhaps washed up on the shore.
"The old-fashioned bottle consisted simply of a corked pop bottle, ballasted with wire so it would sink and containing a note to the finder and a stick to keep the cork from being forced back into the bottle by pressure of deep water. The same sort of bottles without the wire ballast and stick are still used for tracking surface currents."
In an article published September 15, 1972, an Enterprise reporter wrote: " 'Talking drift bottles' being developed by Dean F. Bumpus, Foster L. Striffler and Charles E. Parker at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution may provide an effective and relatively inexpensive tool for investigating a host of oceanographic mysteries, from the migrations of icebergs to the transportation of haddock eggs by ocean currents."

Exploring with traditional!
I'm primarily a technology junkie but am looking to explore the traditional spectrum of hunting. Any tips or tricks in picking a nice but affordable recurve bow? I have a Ross archery bow and love it but also want to play with the traditional side a little bit. I am thinking possibly Martin or Bear but am not set on any certain type of recurve yet. Any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I make a few recurves and longbows per year.(ok allot)
The biggest thing(s)
#1 Picking a bow that's too heavy for you is the biggest problem people have.
People think, I draw a #70 compound, so I can handle a #55-#60 recurve or longbow. In reality, nothing is farther from the truth.
Compounds hit #70 for a 2-3 inches of draw, then the draw weight drops of drastically to a holding weight of #18-#23. With a recurve or longbow it won't reach the given weight till you reach 28 inches of draw.
AND there is NO let off, if it's #55 your holding 55 Lbs
First suggestion....
Start with a light bow, I'm talking #38-#40! Forget the Macho ego stuff, Start with a light poundage bow and get your form established.
Form is 90% of Traditional shooting the other 10 % is mental. Once you get your shooting form established then move up in weight.( you will always be working on your form!) There's always someone looking for a lighter weight bow TRUST ME!!
Next thing is the grip of the bow, The bow should fit you, not you fit the grip. it should have a natural feel and the be a extension for your arm.
Try this, lay you arm on a flat surface palm up, see how the hand is slightly bent and not in line with the arm? The grip should do the exact same thing. A bow with a med grip fits better than the usual high grip you see on recurves.
This is the one place (besides Pope and Young)where size matters. Get one with a comfortable grip... Period. If you have to readjust and wiggle your hand on the grip to get a comfortable grip, it's not right for your hand.
Handle plenty of bows, draw them and hold full draw for 5 seconds. if you don't shake and bow feels good, then it might be a contender for a hunting bow.
Hope this helps, There's plenty more, but this will help you pick out a bow that will possibly shoot well for you.
Then work on shooting in this order.... form, form, form
Good habit are easy to start, Bad habits are hard to break!
Then go out and have fun and 'Fill the sky full of holes"

Thanks so much Greywolf, this is very helpful information.
As GW said, don't over bow your self. For an adult man, I would suggest starting with a bow than can at least be used for hunting if you so choose. Most provinces and states require a minimum of 40 lbs at 28", so I'd recommend that as a starting point. And a 40 to 45 lb bow should be no problem for an adult to draw and shoot.
For your first bow, don't run out and pay muchos denairos, as in all probability, once you've determined that trad is the route you'd like to pursue more, then you will be in the market for a new bow in short order no doubt. You'll likely want to move on up slightly in poundage once you're ready to graduate from the low poundage starter bow.
Get some instructions on form from an experienced recurve shooter. Shooting trad isn't the same as shooting a compound. You will tend to pick up bad habits much more frequently and more severe with a recurve/longbow as opposed to a compound.
Don't use your old compound arrows. Get arrows matched to your recurve, and I'd suggest feathers, not vanes. Don't over extend your yardages. Keep your practice shots to 20 yards and under. Trying to shoot longer ranges at first will only manage to discourage you.

Apocalypse Planned for Tabula Rasa ShutdownNCsoft's MMO Tabula Rasa is shutting down for good tomorrow, but unlike some sad MMOs that fizzle out in the night, Richard Garriott's failed dreamworld isn't going quietly.
The latest (and last?) Friday news post on the game's website details a powerful alien race called the Neph, which along with the evil Bane have discovered wormhole technology, ensuring "wave after wave of Bane troops without rest or respite."communique:
We request that all military personnel begin fortifying defenses at every AFS base in preparation for a massive Bane assault. If enemy troop movements are as large as we fear, and the Neph are truly prepared to lead all out war against us, this may be our last stand. Penumbra has been informed of the situation and is standing by on the use of their last resort weapon. We can not afford to be complacent or uncertain, but if it is truly our destiny to be destroyed, we are taking them all with us.
