Condensed phase electron-energy-loss spectroscopy of the low-lying triplet states of acetylene106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473845View Description Hide Description
Low-energy electron-energy-loss spectra of solid acetylene were recorded in the range of the low-lying valence excited triplet states at a temperature of 17 K. The spectra show that the first band, which was previously assigned to a single transition, actually contains several overlapping singlet–triplet transitions. The transition starts with an extrapolated lowest vibronic transition at 4.89 eV and is dominated by the bending vibrational mode with frequency 86 meV Below this band the spectra show a short progression with vibrational spacings of 100 meV starting at 4.62 eV and a weak band with irregular vibrational spacings close to the energy-loss threshold. Both are assigned to the transition to the lowest triplet potential energy surface, which correlates to the linear state and the two bent and isomer states.
Mass-resolved two-photon spectra of in the region of I. Vibronic analyses106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473846View Description Hide Description
Eight band systems of jet-cooled between 83 763.9 and involving gerade excited states that dissociate to and have been characterized using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry, many for the first time. Excited state vibrational numbering and constants, including dissociation energies were obtained from bandhead measurements made from separate single isotopomer spectra. Bond lengths were estimated from Franck–Condon factor intensity simulations, while excited state electronic symmetries were deduced primarily from polarizationmeasurements. In three instances, energy barriers due to double well potential energy curve formation are identified.
Mass-resolved two-photon spectra of in the region of II. Dominant ion-core assignments by dispersive photoelectron spectroscopy106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.474113View Description Hide Description
New dispersive photoelectron spectra have been used to identify the dominant ion cores associated with the Rydberg statesanalyzed in the preceding paper. These results, for the most part, confirm predictions made from angular momentum arguments. Evidence for excited statepredissociation and perturbations are also presented.
Pump–probe spectroscopy of photoinduced charge transfer reactions in solution106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473847View Description Hide Description
A theory of pump–probe spectroscopy of photoinduced chargeseparation processes in solution is developed. The pump–probe pathway is described by pump with excitation pulse which generates a nonstationary initial state in the first excited state. This initial state evolves and transfers to a second excited state(charge transfer state) nonadiabatically, and the system is probed by a second probe pulse. Doorway and window function approximations are used to separate these processes. Solution is treated as a continuum (Debye) model with one longitudinal relaxation time. Hence, after Wigner transformation of the time evolution of density matrix in Liouville space, the solvation dynamics of nonadiabatic chargeseparation processes obeys the semiclassical Zusman equation. Using the eigenfunction expansion method, we solve the bare absorptionspectrum numerically. An electronic coherence motion is observed in the overdamped exothermic invert regime.
Investigation of the linear and nonlinear optical response of edge-linked conjugated zinc porphyrin oligomers by optical spectroscopy and configuration interaction techniques106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473848View Description Hide Description
We present a joint experimental and theoretical investigation of the linear and nonlinear optical response of butadiyne-linked zincporphyrin oligomers. Efficient overlap between the chromophores leads to a large red-shift of the Q absorption band together with a splitting of the B band into two components when increasing the chain length from one to two repeating porphyrin units. Ultrafast pumb-probe measurements performed on these compounds show several well-defined features, associated with singlet excited stateabsorption. We also find clear evidence for the formation of longer-lived triplet excitons, resulting from very efficient singlet–triplet intersystem crossing processes. For the monomers, the assignment of the observed linear and photoinduced absorption features is supported by a Configuration Interaction description of the singlet and triplet excited states. In the case of the porphyrin dimer, agreement with the experimental results can only be obtained by considering a sizable cumulenic contribution in the excited-state geometry used as input for the CI calculations. The potential of porphyrin systems for Reverse Saturable Absorption and Nonlinear Optics is emphasized.
Reinvestigation of the HSiCl electronic spectrum: Experimental reevaluation of the geometry, rotational constants, and vibrational frequencies106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473849View Description Hide Description
The ground and first excited singlet states of monochlorosilylene have been reexamined using pulsed discharge jet and laser induced fluorescence techniques. HSiCl and DSiCl have been produced by an electric discharge through and vapor in argon. The band rotational constants of four isotopomers of HSiCl and the harmonic force fields for both states have been combined to obtain the following estimates of the equilibrium structures: and Previous anomalies in the ground-state structure and the excited-state vibrational frequencies have been resolved. The radiative lifetime of the 480–400 nm band system of HSiCl has been measured to be
The absolute cross sections of photoabsorption, photodissociation, and photoionization of the group VIB metal hexacarbonyls at 300–1600 Å106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.474077View Description Hide Description
The absolute photoabsorption cross sections and photoionization quantum yields η of and are measured in the wavelength range of We have also estimated the photoionization cross sections and the neutral photodissociation cross sections from and η. Main absorption features are tentatively assigned with the help of the MO diagram and the photoelectron spectroscopic data of Large optical oscillator strength distributions and neutral photodissociation cross sections are obtained at the photon energies far beyond the first ionization potential. Our studies revealed the valence excitation nature of the superexcited states in the extreme ultraviolet region. It is suggested that the neutral photodissociation in this region shares a similarity with that in the UV region below the first ionization potential because they both involve a repulsive ejection of the first CO ligand.
A quantum dynamical study of CH overtones in fluoroform. II. Eigenstate analysis of the and regions106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473850View Description Hide Description
In this series, the multiple time scales and mechanisms of intramolecular vibrational-energy redistribution (IVR) present in the CH overtones of fluoroform is investigated. In part II, we analyze the ab initio vibrational spectrum and dynamics of the and regions, explicitly treating all vibrational degrees of freedom. A wave operator sorting algorithm is used to develop an efficient vibrational basis. Spectral transformation, by a filtered-Lanczos method, is used to accelerate eigenstate analysis. The theoretical spectrum of the fundamental is nontrivial, predicting a close triplet of lines (width ) centered at and a weak line upfield, due to coupling with a small subsystem of background modes: and Furthermore, these background states mix with one another and other nearby background states via resonances and An effective Hamiltonian is used to assess chromophore–background and background–background coupling. In contrast, the first overtone exhibits no strong background resonances, rather the background modes function as a weakly coupled reservoir. IVR time scales and eigenstate convergence, with respect to the active space, are presented.
Application of the semi-empirical method to determine the spatial distribution function for thermalized photoelectrons created by vacuum ultraviolet or high-energy irradiation of some nonpolar dielectric liquids106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473851View Description Hide Description
A semi-empirical method is tested to determine the spatial distribution function of the thermalized photoelectrons, created by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) or γ irradiations of some liquid alkanes. It seems that modified exponentials must be associated to the thermalization process on VUV irradiation. A Gaussian distribution function could be used for high-energy irradiation. The partial inadequacy of the method in the case of high-energy irradiation can be imputed to the existence of multiple ion pair recombinations.
Lattice vibrations of semirigid molecules: Low-frequency vibrations of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone and 4,4-dichlorobenzophenone106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473852View Description Hide Description
The low-frequency Raman and far infrared spectra of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone and 4,4 - dichlorobenzophenone have been recorded in the high-temperature phase. The assignment of the lattice vibrations based on the semirigid-molecule model is presented. The strong influence of intermolecular forces on a number of molecular normal modes is predicted by the lattice dynamics calculations. Particularly, the torsional molecular modes, involving librations of phenyl rings, are sensitive to the external influences. The calculations also predict that several molecular modes are almost unaffected by the crystal field and an explanation of such behavior is proposed. Comparison with experimental and calculated results for other flexible molecules is discussed.
Interaction of small boron cluster ions with HF106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473841View Description Hide Description
A combined experimental and theoretical study of the reactivity of small boroncluster cations with HF is reported on in this article. Cross sections for the reaction of mass-selected boron ( ) and boron monohydride ( 7, and 10) cluster ions with HF are reported for collision energies from 0.1 to 10 eV. The reaction proceeds via a chemically bound intermediate complex, and the major product channels involve elimination of BF or H from the intermediate. Both reactivity and product branching depend strongly on cluster size. Reactivity at low energies generally decreases with increasing size, with the appearance of significant bottlenecks to reaction. The effect of adding a hydrogen atom to the reactant clusters was examined for several cluster sizes. In contrast to the boron oxides, hydrogenation of elemental boroncluster ions has little effect on reactivity with HF, suggesting that H does not compete effectively for HF binding sites. The results provide a sensitive test for the accuracy of ab initio calculations on and and and the calculations provide insight into the reaction mechanism and effects of cluster structure on reactivity.
A model for low temperature electrochemical proton transfer: Temperature and isotope effects on kinetic parameters106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473853View Description Hide Description
Simple framework is suggested for low temperature proton transferreactions at electrodes. Temperature and potential dependence of the electrode current and apparent transfer coefficient, are calculated. The results are in accordance with experimental observations [M. Cappadonia, S. Krause, and U. Stimming, Electrochim. Acta, 42, 841 (1997)], including the tendency for extrapolated to K to approach negative values. This behavior of results in a weak and rather inverse dependence of activation energy on overpotential and a strong potential dependence of the "entropic" factor. The observed isotope effect is basically accounted for by the change of the mass of the tunneling hydrogen isotope and the corresponding changes in the isotope-dependent characteristic frequencies of the medium.
Vibrational autoionization in polyatomic molecules106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473844View Description Hide Description
A general framework for vibrational autoionization in polyatomic molecules with nondegenerate ion cores is presented in terms of a nondiagonal quantum defect matrix. The expressions for the vibrational autoionization rate depend on two vibrational-mode-dependent factors; (1) a vibrational "zero-point amplitude" that describes the displacement along a given normal coordinate and (2) a quantum defect derivative that describes the effect of the vibration on the electronic degrees of freedom. The latter is closely related to the dipole moment derivative and thus to the infrared intensity of that mode. This connection provides insight into the recently observed mode dependence of the vibrational autoionization rates for and other small molecules.
Variation of dipole–dipole interaction with rotational state: Experiment and theory106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473854View Description Hide Description
An experimental investigation of the rotational-state dependence of intermolecular interactions for dipole–dipole systems was performed with the aid of light-induced drift. Data are presented of the relative change in collision rate upon excitation, of HF with respect to polar and nonpolar collision partners ( HCl, OCS, and respectively). A continuously tunable color-center laser was used to rovibrationally excite HF in the fundamental vibrational band Both - and -branch excitations were studied, with the rotational quantum number ranging from to 6. By combining for all pairs of and transitions, the separate and dependencies of the collision rate ν are obtained. It is found that for decreases by more than 40%, and for by only 4%, as increases from 0 to 6. These data show that the familiar dipole–dipole interaction is highly dependent. We attribute this to the increased averaging-out of the dipole–dipole interaction as the rotational quantum number increases. A theoretical treatment based upon the first Born approximation for the total cross section of two rotating dipolar molecules is proposed. Comparison between measurements and theoretical results shows good agreement.
Transverse diffusion measurements and comparisons with Monte Carlo simulation and Gram–Charlier calculations for ions drifting in He gas106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473855View Description Hide Description
The ratio of the transverse diffusion coefficient to the mobility, has been experimentally determined for ion drifting in He gas at (electric field to neutral gas number density ratio) values ranging from 5 to 140 Td. Results at 303 K are reported with an overall accuracy of The results were effectively corrected for longitudinal end effects existing in the drift tube. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation(MCS) calculations were made for the mobility and transport coefficients using the Koutselos, Mason, and Viehland (KMV) interaction potential as input. Comparisons of MCS results and available kinetic theory's Gram–Charlier results with the present and previous experimental data give an indication of the validity and accuracy of the present potential. The theoretical results did not reproduce the experimental curve very well, suggesting that the proposed potential for the pair should be modified. Further comparisons of the transverse and longitudinal diffusion coefficients indicate that the Gram–Charlier approach of kinetic theory is quite accurate even for the large ion-neutral mass ratio.
Theoretical investigation of the (0⩽v⩽4, nonadiabatic reaction dynamics106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473856View Description Hide Description
The title reaction is investigated using a semiclassical coupled wave packet method where the hyperspherical radius ρ is treated classically and the other coordinates quantally. Dynamical calculations are performed in a coplanarlike approximation using eight coupled electronic states. State-to-state reaction cross sections are obtained in the energy range for five different initial rovibrational states. The internal energy of the product is found to be very high, especially at low collision energy. A comprehensive analysis of the reaction mechanisms is presented.
Dissociation dynamics of HNCO and DNCO after laser photoexcitation in the vacuum ultraviolet106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473857View Description Hide Description
Using the laser photolysis–laser-induced fluorescence "pump–probe" technique, the gas-phase dissociation dynamics of and after photoexcitation at the Lyman-α wavelength were studied under collision-free conditions at room temperature. In the vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation experiments narrow band tunable Lyman-α laser radiation was used both to photodissociate the parent molecules and to detect the produced nascent H and D atom products via laser induced fluorescence. The following quantum yields for H–D atom formation were determined by a photolytic calibration method: and For HNCO and DNCO the measured H–D atom Doppler line shapes can be well described by a single Gaussian function, which corresponds to a statistical Maxwell–Boltzmann-like distribution of the translational energy. From the measured H and D atom Doppler profiles the average H and D atom kinetic energy was determined to be and respectively. The average kinetic energies were found to be in reasonable agreement with results from simple statistical calculations in which it is assumed that H–D atoms are produced in combination with NCO in the ground electronic state A dissociation mechanism is suggested in which H–D atom formation proceeds via a statistical unimolecular decay of a hot H–DNCO intermediate formed by a radiationless transition of the optically excited bound H–DNCO state to a lower-lying dissociative state.
Low energy collision-induced dissociation and photodissociation studies of the cluster ion106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473843View Description Hide Description
Low energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) and photodissociation measurements of monohydrated nitrous oxide cluster ions are presented. The CID measurements have been conducted with ions produced in both thermal and supersonic jet sources, and with both Ne and Ar as collision gases. In all experiments, and fragments are observed, for which CID thresholds (0 K) of 1.04±0.06, 1.43±0.12 and 1.32±0.10 eV are determined, respectively. The thermal source experimental thresholds are consistent with all fragment ions originating from a single isomeric precursor ion, Whereas both and CID curves are comparable in the thermal source and supersonic jet source experiments, considerable differences are observed in the CID measurements. The differences are attributed to loosely bound cluster-ion isomeric forms produced in the jet source experiment. In the photodissociation experiments, branching ratios measured with the present jet source are very similar to those observed in previously reported thermal experiments [S. T. Graul, H-S. Kim, and M. T. Bowers, Int. J. Mass Spectrom. Ion Proc. 117, 507 (1992)]. All of the fragment ions can be accounted for by invoking an optical transition from ground state to an excited state associated with the dissociation limit. The and branching ratios are primarily governed by predissociation of the upper state followed by charge-transfer dynamics along a repulsive dissociation coordinate. Formation of is postulated to be controlled by a competing internal conversion process that leads to a longer-lived complex that decays to proton transfer products.
Ligand and metal binding energies in platinum carbonyl cluster anions: Collision-induced dissociation of and106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.474116View Description Hide Description
The collision induced dissociation (CID) of small gas phase platinum and platinum carbonyl cluster anions, Pt and Pt(CO) , has been studied using a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer. The threshold energies obtained from analysis of the CID cross sections for carbonyl and metal atom loss are equated with binding energies. The binding energies of CO to the platinum cluster anions are indicative of two different binding sites, terminal (about 80–110 kJ/mol) and bridged (220–250 kJ/mol). Energies required to removed platinum atoms from the bare cluster anions are 410–470 kJ/mol, a substantial fraction of the bulk enthalpy of vaporization, 570 kJ/mol. Using threshold energies for both primary and secondary CID products in thermodynamic cycles, we have determined thermochemical stabilities of additional neutral and anionic platinum carbonyl species.
Low-energy dissociative electron attachment to , , and 1,1,1- and : Intermediate lifetimes and decay energetics106(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.473858View Description Hide Description
Dissociative electron attachment to , , and 1,1,1- and is studied by measuring the velocity and angular distributions of negative ions produced through electron transfer in collisions with velocity-selected Rydberg atoms. The data are analyzed with the aid of a Monte Carlo collision code that models the detailed kinematics of the reactions.Measurements with and show that the mean lifetimes of the and intermediates initially formed by Rydbergelectron capture are ∼3.5 and 4.5 ps, respectively, and that, upon dissociation, only a small fraction of the excess energy of reaction appears as translational energy of the fragments. The data for indicate that reaction proceeds by two channels: in the first, essentially all the excess energy appears in translation, suggesting that the electron is captured directly into an antibonding orbital; in the second, limited conversion of the excess energy to internal motions occurs, pointing to an intermediate lifetime of ∼0.1 to 1 ps. The data for the 1,1,2 isomer suggest that again only limited energy transfer to internal motions occurs, but the particular reaction channel(s) operative could not be identified. Possible reaction channels for the isomers are discussed with the aid of ab initio calculations.

"One thing we know is that dovekies cannot dive to the bottom in 300 to 400 feet of water," Perry said. "Goosefish probably come up from the ocean bottom to within 10 to 20 feet of the water surface at night. As dovekies dive for amphipods, small crustaceans, in the morning at first light, goosefish seize the opportunity and might use their 'fishing lure' to simulate one of these prey species by attracting the dovekies with their typical 'sit and wait' behavior."
The magnitude of fish predation on seabirds is poorly understood. Perry says most food habit studies for goosefish have been conducted during summer when the dovekies have migrated north to their Arctic breeding areas; thus, they seldom have been recorded as prey. Perry hopes more telemetry tracking of goosefish will be done in winter when birds are in the area and are potential prey.
As for what's ahead, Richards says ongoing use of electronic tags on goosefish will provide more information on their vertical movements.

The ASCO/AUA recommendations on chemoprevention for prostate cancer are based on evidence gathered from clinical trials, including the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT), in which participating men took a 5-ARI for one to seven years. Trial data showed an overall relative risk reduction of approximately 25 percent in most men who took a 5-ARI to prevent prostate cancer.
"Although a large clinical trial has shown that 5-ARIs can decrease the incidence of prostate cancer, we are still not able to determine if the mortality from prostate cancer is reduced," said Paul F. Schellhammer, MD, a past president of the AUA and co-chair of the panel that developed the guideline. "However, the demonstrated effect of 5-ARIs in reducing prostate cancer incidence makes it reasonable to recommend them for use to prevent the disease. But, as with any drug, patients should discuss the risks and benefits with their physicians."
In conjunction with this guideline, ASCO developed a Decision Aid Tool, which uses straightforward charts and diagrams to explain the risks and benefits of 5-ARIs to patients and their families. One section, called "Thinking It Over," encourages patients to discuss potential treatment decisions with their doctors and their family and determine what risks and benefits matter most to them.
The guideline will be published in the March issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology and the March issue of The Journal of Urology. Along with the new guideline and the Decision Aid Tool, ASCO has released a corresponding patient guide available on ASCO's patient Web site, www.cancer.net.

If you have an interest in history or the British Military, then the Firepower Royal Artillery Museum is one of the most ideal of London attractions.
The museum first opened in the 1800s and is thought to be one of the first and most longstanding military museums to open in Europe.
Over the last few weeks, it has opened a new exhibition to the public, which explores the role of female soldiers serving in the army since the second world war, right up to the present day.
It highlights the importance of women in the army and contains a very special collection of rare artifacts, and photos which give guests an insight into the everyday lives of those women who serve in the army.
The exhibition is open until April 29th from Tuesday to Saturday.
On March 5th, the museum hosted a talk with Alison Baskerville, an award-winning freelance journalist who served with the Royal Air Force in Iraq and shot to fame after capturing photographs of what she saw.
If you're interested in participating in the other exciting talks and exhibitions held at the museum, they have got many similar events on throughout the year.

Chumleigh Lodge Hotel - Terrible
I arrived at 19.30pm, a female travelling alone.
No reception area, no-one available at the hotel, the key was left in an envelope which I eventually found in the dimly lit corridor for the room which was awful. No-one available to speak to, no telephone number evident. Hotel under renovation which I was not informed of. No information on where to eat / drink as I had done neither after a long trip. I spoke to Laterooms immediately, who asked to speak with some-one at reception - again I told them there was no reception / no-one available / no phone number evident, said there would be no cancellation charge due to the circumstances. How wrong were they I have had to pay for this hotel and another. I spoke to the hotel owner who reused to give me a refund. A 3 star hotel is deemed so for it's service - there wasn't any.....!!. I hope the gentleman sleeps with a clear conscience charging £75.00 room only for this hovel.

Basic, small, clean ensuite room with fridge, TV (dodgy signal) and microwave.
Would only use for one night but did the job and would return. Price OK. No working reception so don't get locked out, but being renovated so expect temporary issue.

You want high-value, super useful content that your attendees can implement on in their work right away.
You want the experience to be engaging, inspiring and fun – and also very practical.
Your attendees time and attention is precious. I so get that.
The sessions I facilitate are story-filled, highly interactive and full of tools and strategies that can be immediately applied outside of the session. My goal is that attendees walk out fired up to take action – and empowered to do so with everything they need to be successful.
Here are some of my most popular speaking topics:
How to Use Speaking to Change Lives and Attract Clients Naturally.
There is no more powerful way to change lives and magnetize clients naturally than through speaking. In this presentation I share the same approach I have used many times to attract awesome clients, large training contracts and fabulous high-level collaborative projects – without any "sales pitch" or other icky-feeling strategy. This is about rich-content, high integrity Thought Leadership speaking that feels amazing to deliver.
Have Them at Hello: How to talk about your business at networking events, in bios and wherever you find yourself sharing your beautiful work
Every time you answer the question, "So, what do you do?" you have the opportunity to pique interest or get lost in a shuffle of mind numbing conversation. No one wants the latter – not you or your conversational partner. So, let's get your Hello Intro (aka Elevator Pitch) clearly articulated so that you no longer get red-faced and stumble through that conversation again. The outcomes of this session will be useful for writing bios, About Me pages and many other places where you need to talk about what you do with confidence and intrigue.
The Core Message at the Center of Your Beautiful Work: The most important missing piece for confidently and easily creating your brand, expressing your value and consistently sharing your work with the world
Way too many business owners and career builders are frustrated and stuck, spinning in circles about what to offer or what next job to choose, how to express the value they bring with their work and the best avenues for sharing their value (Facebook! LinkedIn! Twitter!). They try to fix this problem by rebranding, creating a new website, devising yet another program or offering that will surely hit the mark this time! But they are trying to fix the cart when the horse has a sprained leg (I just can't call it broken, horse lover that I am)! You cannot build a powerful business without a crystal clear Core Message at the center of that business. It's simply not possible! Ah, but then… When you DO get this core message crystal clear, all of the other questions find their answers with so much more ease and grace it will amaze you. Let me show you how to reveal the core message at the center of your beautiful work so you can take consistent and powerful action that leads to you making the big impact in the world you so want to make.
Your Natural Charisma Style: Reveal the three custom words that will empower you to step into your most engaging, confident and super-powered self in all of your expression
What if you had a personal style statement that would act as a crystal clear guide for how to express yourself in the world? What if you could actually choose these words yourself to be sure they feel completely and wholeheartedly YOU? Through my proprietary Expression Élan process, I will guide attendees into revealing their very own custom three word combination that will describe their personal (and business, too, if they choose) brand, remind them of their priorities and push them to express themselves at the edge of their own brilliance as they share their Beautiful Work in the world. We also define these words so they can be used to pick colors, images and feelings for websites and logos, help clean out closets (and shop for new outfits), decide what to wear to the next speaking gig. This is a client favorite! I hear back from people years later that they still use their Expression Elan in so many aspects of their lives.
Want to see a sample of my speaking style? Here you go:
Here are some kind words from session attendees:
I wanted to thank you again for the terrific presentation you gave to our group on Tuesday. You captured our audiences needs perfectly and everyone (from president to HR manager) learned something new. At our dinner that evening, and also on Wednesday, I continued to hear great comments about your talk. Also, Im delighted to hear that MicroAire will be having you back to make the presentation to their employees as well.
If I can ever be of assistance to you in any way (references, etc), I'd be happy to do so.
Warmest regards,
Rebecca Spooner, VP of Administration
Colson Associates
If you are looking for an interactive keynote speaker or session facilitator who will engage your audience and delight them with a refreshingly lively yet content-rich presentation, we should talk.
Best presenter of all the sessions I attended. Very engaging, passionate and sincere.
Best presentation of the conference!
This was by far the best program of the conference!
Bring her back next year! Great!
Awesome presentation – very engaging, learned a lot.
Feedback from various other presentations across the years:

Michelle's enthusiasm and love for her topic is awesome. Great teacher!

According to Vorona, delaying high school start times may promote driver alertness by reducing the severity of chronic sleep restriction, which is a common problem during adolescence. This idea is supported by a study in the December 2008 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, which reported that the teen crash rate dropped by 16.5 percent in one county that delayed high school start times by an hour.
"We believe that high schools should take a close look at having later start times to align with circadian rhythms in teens and to allow for longer sleep times," said Vorona. "Too many teens in this country obtain insufficient sleep. A burgeoning literature suggests that this may lead to problematic consequences including mood disorders, academic difficulties and behavioral issues."

Welcome to the fourth Zombie Warfare Pre-Alpha weekly update. In this post, you can find the latest things added into the game during this week.This updates introduces two new mission types. Before this update, there were only two types of missions: the time mission, where you have to survive for a certain amount of time, and the kills mission, where you have to kill a certain number of zombies. Now, we have got two new mission types: the crates mission and the chest defence mission.
The first new mission type added is the Crates mission. In this type of mission, you have to pick up a certain number of crates filled with some food and other resources to survive to the Zombie Apocalypse. The crates will fall from the sky, released by an ally helicopter and they will fall on a random point of the map. A radio message will alert you that a crate has been released and you have to find it before that the zombies destroy it. When you have picked up the requested time of crates, the mission ends.
The second new mission type added is the Chest Defence mission. In this type of mission, the map isn't randomly generated, but consists in an hill with a big chest on it. Your objective is defend the chest from serveral zombies wave. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. If the zombies touch the chest, they will damage it. If you defend the chest from the waves, the mission will end.
This updates includes also a new cool graphic effect: better explosions!! Saturday I've released on my twitter account with #screenshotsaturday a preview on the new explosions. Now they aren't a big flashing square anymore, they're much cooler! Check out this gif that explains better than words.
In this update we've done also some minor changes. For example, we have tweaked the night lighting engine, adding a light also on the muzzle flash, on the explosions and on the bullets. We have also changed the mission state notification removing the "letterboxish" effect and moving it almost at the center of the screen.
This was the Zombie Warfare Pre-Alpha Update #4. I hope you liked this Update, don't forget to leave a comment with your opinions or suggestions and see you the next week with the new Zombie Warfare weekly update.
Thank you for reading this article,
Nyo, Famega Developer
Every week on Wednesday on IndieDB for the new weekly updateEvery week on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. (18:00) CEST on my Twitter Page with #screenshotsaturday for a preview of the next update.
P.S: Probably, the next weekly update will be smaller than this and the others, because I'm going to participate at the Mini Ludum dare #53 and at the GMCJam #15.

Kropp: Ventura's Caisey Lee Emery wins prestigious Girls 16 title
Because she competes in one of the strongest and most talented age groups in Southern California, winning tournaments has been a stumbling block for Caisey Lee Emery. The 16-year-old Ventura resident usually plays deep into most of her tournaments, but securing the championship trophy has proven to be the most difficult step.

NetWorth: Internships usually must pay minimum wage
With summer jobs hard to come by, many high school and college students -- and even college grads -- are willing to work in unpaid internships. Many employers, who are often barely getting by themselves, are eager to take advantage of free help. Yet unless the internship meets specific requirements, interns by law must be paid at least the minimum wage.
People who work in unpaid private-sector internships that should have been paid can file a federal or state wage claim and could receive back wages, even if they agreed to work for free.
"Abuse is rampant," says Stephen Hirschfeld, an attorney with Curiale Hirschfeld Kraemer, a firm with offices in California and Nevada that represents employers. Most unpaid interns "should be paid."
But interns rarely complain because they get experience, a job reference and contacts. "It's a symbiotic relationship," Hirschfeld says.
Some employers admit they were unaware of legal requirements when they recruited or hired unpaid interns. "Actually, we haven't done any due diligence," says Cliff Perotti, a Realtor in Marin County, Calif., who posted an ad for an unpaid intern on Craigslist.
Perotti wanted to help students interested in a real estate career. "We have them work side by side with us," he says. "It's kind of an educational environment for them."
Some employers think that as long as students can get high school or college credit for an internship, they do not have to be paid. In fact, school credit is not a requirement, nor does it guarantee that an unpaid internship is legal.
The U.S. Department of Labor says an unpaid internship at a for-profit company must meet six criteria:
- It must provide training similar to what an intern would get in an educational environment.
- The experience must benefit the intern.
- The intern cannot displace other employees and must be closely supervised by existing staff.
- The employer should derive "no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern" and could at times be impeded by the intern's presence.
- It must be clear that the intern is not entitled to a paid job when the internship ends.
- It must be clear that the intern is not entitled to wages for the experience.
Unless the internship meets all six criteria, the intern is an employee covered by minimum-wage and overtime laws. See the labor department's fact sheet at http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.pdf or call (866) 487-9243.
Today, California uses the same criteria to determine whether an intern is a "trainee" exempt from the state's minimum-wage law. While the labor department requires an internship to meet all six criteria, the state looks at the "totality of the circumstances."
California's rules "might be a little weaker" than the federal regulations, says Maurice Emsellem, policy co-director with the National Employment Law Project.
But David Balter, a staff counsel with the California Division o f Labor Standards Enforcement, says "the six-part test provides a lot of protection" for employees.
"An internship program is not to provide free labor and a resume stuffer for somebody," Balter says. "It has to be for the benefit of the trainee or the student. They are learning a skill, a craft, under the direction of people at the placement site."
The six rules do not apply to most nonprofit and government agencies, which generally can hire unpaid interns as volunteers for charitable or humanitarian work. However, "if the nonprofit is engaged in commercial activity, they have to meet the same standards as all other employers," Balter says. Work in a kitchen feeding the homeless meets the volunteer test. "If someone is working at a secondhand store, like Salvation Army, they have to be paid minimum wage."
The minimum wage is $8 per hour in California except in cities with higher minimums.
For private-sector employers, "this whole area is really murky, but as a rule, the federal and state agencies will leave you alone if (an internship program) is sponsored or run through" a school or college, Hirschfeld says. Even if it's not, "unless you are audited or something goes wrong and the kid files a complaint, it's never going to see a courtroom, it's never going to see any agency."

Re: Phlox and Archer's actions in Dear Doctor
Just show how unheroic Phlox and Archer are this episode, imagine if in the next Superman movie, Superman decides to mirror their actions:
Superman: "Oh no, Brainiac is about blow up Metropolis, perhaps I should stop him! On the other hand, maybe intervention would be wrong, maybe Metropolis is fated to explode today. There are all sorts of social problems in Metropolis, crime, poverty and pollution, perhaps saving them would just make things worse. If I save Metropolis, perhaps one of the people I save will become a serial killer and kill people. Frankly I think it would be imperialistic of me to save Metropolis, so I am just going to let Brainiac blow it up. Bye."

Conference Paper
A Novel Hybrid System for Dynamic Control.
DOI: 10.1007/11903697_77 Conference: Simulated Evolution and Learning, 6th International Conference, SEAL 2006, Hefei, China, October 15-18, 2006, Proceedings
Source: DBLP
In this paper we propose a hybrid model which includes both first principles differential equations and a least squares support
vector machine (LS-SVM). It is used to forecast and control an environmental process. This inclusion of the first principles
knowledge in this hybrid model is shown to improve substantially the stability of the model predictions in spite of the unmeasurability
of some of the key parameters. Proposed hybrid model is compared with both a hybrid neural network(HNN) as well as hybrid
neural network with extended kalman filter(HNN-EKF). From experimental results, proposed hybrid model shown to be far superior
when used for extrapolation compared to HNN and HNN-EKF.

ABSTRACT: Methods are presented for the design of a static estimator which infers unmeasurable product qualities from secondary measurements. The secondary measurements are selected so as to minimize the number of such measurements required to obtain an accurate estimate which is insensitive to modeling errors. Unlike previous work, the number of secondary measurements can be fewer than the number of unmeasured disturbances. If the statistics of the disturbances and/or measurement noise are available, this information can be incorporated into the design procedure to obtain an optimal static estimator.The design procedure is illustrated by application to a simulated industrial debutanizer. Data for the simulation were supplied by the Marathon Oil Company. Deviations in bottoms product quality are compared for the current control policy (maintenance of a stage temperature at its set point) and the inferential control system with the column subjected to representative feed composition disturbances. Results show that inferential control based on four, five, or six tray temperature measurements improves the steady state control performance by as much as 400%.AIChE Journal 05/1978; 24(3):485 - 492.

Conference Paper: A Comparison of Adaptive Estimation with Neural based Techniques for Bioprocess Application[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The last few years have seen the proliferation of inferential estimation methodologies. These are techniques which are capable of providing estimates of `difficult-to-measure' fermentation process variables from other easily available process measurements. In the literature, two avenues tend to predominate: on being based upon the use of physicochemical models, while the other makes use of an input-output or `black-box' model structure. Clearly, those based upon an accurate physical description will offer the best performance. In reality, however, the best possible situation will be the availability of a `reasonable' process model. Alternatively, at the other end of the spectrum of process knowledge, is the use of `adaptive' generically structured observers. Firstly, a generally structured linear estimator will be introduced. Successful applications of this estimator to an idustrial mycelial fermentation will be presented. Such success is due to the continuous nature of the process, which undergoes smaller changes in dynamics than, say, a batch fermentation. For such cases it is felt that more representative nonliner observers are required. A technique now receiving recognition is that of artificial neural networks. The neural network paradigm is discussed and a comparison with the performance of the adaptive linear estimator is presented.American Control Conference, 1990; 06/1990

ABSTRACT: A neural-network based model of the kinetics in a fermentation process is presented. In the development and application of the model, the state of the process was estimated by an independent model based on elemental balances and an electroneutrality condition. The aim of the work was a model that describes the overall kinetic relations well enough to be used for on-line simulation and prediction. Both feed-forward and partially recurrent networks were investigated. The networks were trained off-line, but in the on-line application they are adapted to the process conditions by adjusting a set of correction factors. The approach is illustrated on a number of batch runs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where the networks are demonstrated to be able to accurately describe the biphasic growth.On présente un modèle de cinétique basé sur un réseau neuronal pour un procédé de fermentation. Dans la mise au point et l'application du modèle, l'état du procédé a été estimé par un modèle indépendant basé sur les équilibres élémentaires et une condition d'électroneutralité. Le but de travail était de trouver un modèle qui décrive suffisamment bien les relations de cinétique globales pour leur utilisation dans la simulation et la prédiction en ligne. Les réseaux à boucle de régulation aval et les réseaux partiellement récurrents ont été étudiés. Les réseaux ont été entrainées hors ligne, mais pour l'application en ligne, on peut les adapter aux conditions du procédé en ajustant un jeu de facteurs de correction. La méthode est illustrée pour plusieurs essais discontinus de Saccharomyces cerevisiae, où on démontre que les réseaux peuvent décrire avec précision la croissance diphasique.The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering 02/1996; 74(1):124 - 131.

Human Rights Watch has released a report revealing that the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) of Uganda has abducted over 697 people in the Central African Republic (CAR) and northern region of Democratic Republic of Congo.
According to the report, the army typically attacks and loots villages, grabbing civilians and tying them together to form human chains. The captured are made to work for long hours preparing food, and are not allowed to eat, drink or speak without an officer's permission. While some are released, others are made to march with the looted goods, and those who cannot keep up are beaten to death.
Almost a third of the abductees are children. They are usually separated from adults and kept close to the LRA commanders, who expose them to extreme violence and brutality in order to integrate them into the group. HRW contends that as part of their indoctrination, many children are forced to kill their parents or other children who try to escape or disobey the rules. They are trained early on in combat, and as young as 10 or 11 they are armed with guns and participating in attacks. Girls are used primarily for sex, and refusal can result in death.
Described as being a "messianic cult," the LRA was pushed out of the country by the Ugandan military in 2005. In the same year, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for the arrest of the army's leader Joseph Kony for crimes against humanity. In 2008 the Ugandan army launched a military campaign against the LAR with the help of U.S. intelligence, but has failed to end the violence or capture the group's leaders. Soon after the campaign, the LRA carried out a "revenge massacre" in northern Congo, leaving 345 people dead. The group now operates in the border region between southern Sudan, DR Congo and CAR.
LRA attacks have been largely underreported in part because the majority of the villages attacked are remote, with few mediums of communication. However its mark is evident in the tens of thousands of civilians who have fled to larger towns for fear of attack, leaving entire villages empty. In addition, HRW's report consists of hundreds of interviews with survivors, including children, who now have their voices heard by the world.
HRW is calling on the respective countries' governments "to strengthen their protection of civilians and to put greater emphasis on efforts to rescue the abducted children and others." In addition, the U.S. should act quickly to carry out the Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act, which was signed by President Obama in May, and involves a comprehensive strategy to protect civilians from LRA attacks, end the violence and bring the leaders to justice.

Sicko freak. Wonder what he'd do if he lived here in the states?
When will a pan African force finally rid there land of the monsters behind this activity?
Thank you for the information.
Very very sad and frustrating..what can be done? thank you veyr much for article x
Thank you for keeping us informed. Very sad.
Christianity in action...
Maybe the if we in the North could put aside our focus on silly things and focus on the needs of others we could again reach that golden age of the Love generation. Remember the peace movement, remember when we had Marches for big ideas like integration, Peace, the end of poverty we galvanized the world.
Now we have demagogues ranting about birth certificates, Saying No, holding up needed policies, going to war and torture. Maybe if we put all that energy into looking at world problems we could effect change.
Isn't this exactly what the U.N. is for.
This is a horrile story to read about, something MUST be done.
Take care,
Just horrible. Nothing can justify that kind of atrocity.
How is it that this type of story does not show up in the news?

LOVES PARK — Hope & Anchor English Pub celebrates its first year of business Saturday. The accomplishment may not seem like much until one considers the slew of restaurants that have set up and shut down at the same location over the past 11 years.
LOVES PARK — Hope & Anchor English Pub celebrates its first year of business Saturday.
The accomplishment may not seem like much until one considers the slew of restaurants that have set up and shut down at the same location over the past 11 years.
Hope & Anchor is the sixth incarnation at 5040 N. Second St. since the original Mayflower closed in January 1999. No one has been able to find the success that made the first Mayflower a Loves Park staple for nearly 70 years.
Hope & Anchor Owners Ian and Kreena Robbins hope to buck the trend, though they'll be the first to tell you their first year has been anything but smooth.
Year one was blemished with speculation they'd be forced out by another restaurant and a legal battle with a former business partner who then started a rival English alehouse. That business has since dropped the English theme and left the Robbins' as the only English-themed business in the area.
Owners credit year-one survival to loyal customers — some who even petitioned for them to stay — and maybe even a bit of superstition.
"We think we survived because of Tony Salamone (the owner of the original Mayflower). We truly believe he is our ghost," Kreena Robbins said. "We proudly display his picture here in the bar. We think because we have respect for him is why we've been able to stay."
One-year celebrations Saturday include specials on Guinness and a performance by a Beatles tribute band at 9 p.m.
Ian Robbins said he was hired to remodel the former Firefly before he joined as a partner. The bar reminded him of a pub in his hometown of Ross-on-Wye in England. The 41-year-old lived in England until coming to the United States at age 21.
The customers typically come for the fish and chips, owners say, but they're also treated to a bit of an attitude. They openly refer to one employee as "wanker" and speak to customers just as bluntly. Think of it like a British Ed Debevic's, except no one's going to stand up on a table and sing "Car Wash."
"It's a whole different point of view when you come in. We'll be rude, and they love it," Kreena Robbins said. "We don't suck up to people, which is great."
And that doesn't touch on the menu, which has items we won't reprint here, but it's safe to say that ordering off it is not for prudes.
The Robbins have furthered their commitment to the business by taking ownership of the property. Originally they leased the property, but bought the building on contract April 1, according to their attorney Ian Linnabary of Reno & Zahm.
The dissolution of partnership suit with former partner Larry Shernaman continues in May. Linnabary declined to discuss the case but said it doesn't affect the operations of the restaurant. Shernaman's attorney could not be reached Friday.
Page 2 of 2 - The Robbins never thought they'd be running the business hands-on, but ever since they got their hands on it decided they weren't letting go without a fight.
"We were going to get it open and running and then let the other guy do it. Now we're here every day," Kreena Robbins said. "When we thought we were losing it, we couldn't think of anything else. We told them even if we lose it we're clinging, we're not leaving."

Sounds like you have a short fuss, you need to learn to redirect your anger, I take deep breaths a lot! You are now carrying your precious baby and you need to let something's go for the sake of the babies safety, I know it will be hard but it will be worth it in the end.

There is nothing in the world that would cause me to get "physical" with someone else and risk my own life or the life of the baby I am carrying. I guess I don't get it....

Sigh....very pathetic story. You're bringing a child into this world in 7 months and this is the way you act? Not such a great role model for your child. Maybe get some anger management help now while you have time before baby comes.

I don't know, Maybe it's poorly written but why was it a relief when the lady turned out to be older. You should lock yourself in the apartment and Maybe buy a muzzle. your lack of self control is not cute at all. Your getting ready to have a baby so grow up

I realize that you probably just wanted to come to your sisters defense but under no circumstance should you ever put that defenseless baby you are carrying at risk. You are that baby's protector. In all honesty, the whole story sounds a bit immature. I truly think you need to find help in handling your anger. Especially before baby comes. Good luck to you. Good luck to your baby.
