City Live: 2013/14 season launch party
- 10 July 2013 08:50
- Posted by @markbooth_mcfc
Manchester City Football Club is set to hold the mother of all parties…
City are throwing a groundbreaking music and awards party to kick off the 2013/14 season.
Crammed with special guests from the world of sport, music and entertainment, the Blues are set to kick the 2013/14 season off in style.
A brand new approach to the awards evening and the Club's first ever pre-season Launch Party – City Live will be jam packed with the best football, music and comedy names the UK has to offer, all in front of a live audience.
The blue carpet will be well and truly rolled out on 8 August, when City Live takes centre stage at the iconic Manchester Central, in the heart of the city.
It will be the first chance for fans to get up close and personal with their heroes, too, when new Club signings such as Jesus Navas and Fernandinho, along with Manager Manuel Pellegrini will be presented to the masses.
Miles Kane will be performing live and the evening itself hosted by Jake Humphrey.
City has also enlisted the support of lifelong Blue and funny man, Jason Manford. The comedian who hails from Manchester is a regular on match-days, having grown up on the kippax as a boyhood City fan.
Manford will be making his home town return in front of the Etihad's finest, ahead of two upcoming shows at the Manchester Arena in December.
Commenting on the event, Manchester City Captain, Vincent Kompany, said:
"Manchester City and music have always gone hand-in-hand. It's in the DNA of our fans and the very fabric of the football club."
...Vincent Kompany...
"You only need to look around the Etihad Stadium on a match-day to regularly see musicians such as Noel & Liam Gallagher, Johnny Marr and Damon Gough to name just a few.
"City Live is an opportunity for all our fans to come together to not only recognise the players contributions, celebrate their passion for football and music, but also find out first-hand what's in store for what will hopefully be an unforgettable season to come."
The star-studded bash when City's annual end-of-season awards are dished out is always a highlight of the Club's calendar. Gongs to be presented include Player of the Year and Moment of the Season - to name but a few.
Inspired by shows such as the MTV Music Awards, City Live will showcase what's in store for the 2013/14 season, both on and off the pitch, whilst connecting local and global fans like never before.
Doors open at 6pm for a 7.30pm start, with the event set to finish at approximately 10.30pm.

Why the huge amount of packaging?
I get it. Sometimes it helps to have standardized box sizes. But c'mon already. Every thing I've gotten this year came with a ridiculous amount of packaging. Amazon, usually one of my faves, has been the worst offender. Got a pair of sunglasses in something better suited for car engine. Anyone else get any ridiculous boxes?
12 Answers answer
I think my instinct is to want more packaging vs less, especially if something is inclined to break... but your example does seem a bit excessive.
i once got a car engine in a box suited for a pair of sunglasses.
I think I side with Inky; during a previous woot.plus sale of refurb Vizios a bunch of people recieved their's heavily damaged, and few actually had their replacement come damaged. I'd much rather vendors err on the side of caution.
@inkycatz: I think it depends on what kind of "breakable" it is. I had amazon UK send me a vinyl record in a slightly oversized box (with a wad of brown paper) and it was sliding around the box the whole trip to the US, and it arrived with cracks all along the spine, and the corners bent to hell. The outside box was in pristine condition, though.
(I complained and they resent it, claiming they would package it better this time, and it was in just as dismal condition the second time, in the exact same packaging. They eventually refunded it... Still haven't gotten a mint copy. Sigh.)
I hear ya. I get huge boxes, comprising of small objects inside. I used to take photos of what came in boxes, just to show the waste. I say waste, because the larger the boxes, the less packed on on trucks and planes. The less packed on them, the more fuel needed to transport them. If the packaging fit the products inside, it would take less space, which means more on a plane/truck, which means less fuel for more transported. At least, that's my theory :-)
I find people, like from eBay, package best. Much less wasted space in packaging, and (in my experience) people package breakables pretty well.
I read somewhere that Amazon bought AIRplus stock(storopack.com).
For the kittens?
@jsimsace: Probably something like that. I buy some of our shipping boxes at work, and I get asked about surplus runs weekly. A lot of what we ship in get turned inside out and get our stamp on the new outside, meaning you might open your box and on the inside it's printed for motor oil or feminine hygiene products. Shoot, we still ship in Digital Compact Cassette player boxes. Bought thousands of those over 10 years ago for a few cents apiece.
Yeah, when packages are too big, stuff is more likely to be damaged because of all of the moving around it does. I'd rather have a snug fitting box and appropriate protection... but hey, can't win 'em all.
I totally agree with those who say more is sometimes better, especially if fragile. However, some of it is just ridiculous. Amazon is just annoying though, especially when I consider how they are the gold standard for shipping consumer products. I've had a few sites that ship three of the same thing in three different oversized boxes. Part of my annoyance also is that the smart post stuff should fit into my mailbox, but doesn't because of the packaging, so the mailman leaves it on the front doorstep. I live in an area where this is very risky with my product. Oh well, I'll get over it.
@meanjoeira: If you don't mind trips to the post office, ask your carrier (or preferably, the Post Master) to put a note on your address that any box too big for your mailbox gets left at the post office for pickup. I'm home all the time, but because I'm exactly a half mile from my mailbox, my carrier won't bring packages to my house. I got tired of having to wait until the next day to pick up my packages (since the carrier doesn't finish his route until after the post office closes), so I requested that things too big for the mailbox never even leave the post office. That way, if it's something I'm expecting, I can go to the post office and pick it up that day. Otherwise, the carrier leaves a notice in my box and I just get it the next day. Works well for me, at least.
A bigger box just means more room for bags of that precious sweet sweet Texas air!
(yes I am aware that Woot now ships from all over, but hush, you're spoiling the joke! :D)
Seriously though, the point about smaller boxes being easier on the environment is absolutely true...
Apple has an interesting study on their website about how they shrunk the iPhone box 42% since the first generation and how much transportation that simple step has saved: http://www.apple.com/environment/#transportation - They also shrank their computer boxes and their software and warranty boxes.
HP is similarly trying to reduce the percentage of packaging for their equipment to a maximum of 28% of the products: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-information/environment/goals.html
Dell has reduced their packaging by 12% since 2008: http://content.dell.com/us/en/corp/d/corp-comm/earth-products-packaging.aspx
So the trend seems to be smaller, but clearly not everyone is doing it. And in this case, size matters!

Unfortunately, there is no CDATA in HTML.
This is a pity, because it would be perfect for adding
javadoc comments that include XML, so you don't have to escape the < and >, for example:
/**<![CDATA[ This parses <complexType name=""> ]]>*/
However, it would be possible for
javadoc to recognize the CDATA section, and convert it to HTML for you. For example:
This parses <complexType name="">
Or it could use some simpler syntax than CDATA. Because
javadoc is extensible, it's possible someone has added this functionality; or maybe
javadoc already has it buried somewhere inside... Does anybody know?

I would totally recommend this one to anyone who wants to get a white scrap-pen.
I took a chance and got two at once, and I don't regret it the least! It's so easy to write with and it doesn't smudge. It has a liiiittle drying time that you need to take into account, so that you don't smudge it yourself or anything, but it's a real quick time so it doesn't bother me.
Also, you might want to doodle a bit on a piece of paper other than your lo before writing with it on your actual lo if you don't store it vertically tip down. I store it lying and that can cause the color in the pen to retract a bit from the tip. But as long as you're aware of that if you don't store it standing up, this is a totally awesome product! :)
This is a fabulous white pen. I have tried many different brands of white pens and have been terribly disappointed in each one (see my review of the AC Galaxy Writer). This pen is smooth, bright and reliable. I love that you can use it to write on different surfaces, including slick ones such as photos and wrapping paper and that the ink shows up immediately and dries quickly without smearing.
On occasion I have had a little trouble with the ink starting to flow as soon as I start to write and once in a while I will get some hesitation from the ink flow but overall, this is a GREAT pen. I recommend it to all my friends and have even bought some for gifts.
I have to say that I don't have much to add to what others have said about this product. I did read the reviews in my search for a white pen to use in my scrapbooks and this one appeared to be the top favorite by a landslide. I can see why, as it is smooth flowing and has a very nice opaque quality to the white - not weak and "watered down". You don't have to double back over your lines. They are solid and boldly white when you lay down your initial pen stroke, therefore this shows up on most any color paper you use. This was out of stock numerous times when I tried to order, so if you see it is available you better snap it up!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pen! It does everything a white pen should. It writes on dark paper, it writes on cardstock, it writes on velum, it writes on photos...it does it all!!! It not only writes on all these surfaces, but it does it cleanly, smoothly, and without the hesitation of other, lesser white pens. You never have to go back over what you just wrote because the pen dried up in mid-letter. And enough of the ink comes out as you are writing that you don't have to retrace what you wrote either. It really is the best white pen i have EVER used, and one of the tools in my scrap arsenal that I would be truly lost without!!!

Hi, I'm looking for examples of groups that are both Hopfian and Co-Hopfian. I have a non trivial (and beautiful, at least to me) example: $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$ (with $n>2$).
Do you know others (non trivial)?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Mapping class groups of closed surfaces are both Hopfian and co-Hopfian (the former follows from residual finiteness, and the latter is due to Ivanov-McCarthy).
Out(F_n) also has both properties (residual finiteness and a theorem of Farb-Handel).
Before going to examples, here are some general comments:
a) Proving that a finitely generated group is Hopfian is usually pretty hard unless the group is residually finite e.g. finitely generated subgroups of $GL(n,\mathbb R)$ are residually finite, hence Hopfian by an old result of Mal'cev.
b) A common method in proving that a group $G$ is co-Hopfian is to use an invariant of $G$ that is multiplicative under passing to finite index subgroups. If $G$ has a nonzero such invariant, then $G$ has no finite index subgroups isomorphic to itself. For example, if $G$ is the fundamental group of a finite aspherical CW-complex of nonzero Euler characteristic, then $G$ has no finite index subgroups isomorphic to itself.
c) If $G$ is the fundamental group of a closed aspherical manifold, then $G$ has no infinite index subgroups isomorphic to $G$ (look at top-dimensional homology).
d) Euler characteristic, signature, $L^2$-Betti numbers, simplicial volume are are multiplicative under finite covers of closed aspherical manifolds, so if $G$ is the fundamental group of a closed aspherical manifold with say nonzero signature, then $G$ is co-Hopfian.
Here are some specific examples to add to Richard's example of one-ended torsion free hyperbolic groups. All of the following groups are linear, hence residually finite, hence Hopfian.
Torsion-free $\delta$-hyperbolic groups are hopfian, and it's a theorem of Sela that one-ended torsion free hyperbolic groups are co-hopfian (Z. Sela. Structure and rigidity in (Gromov) hyperbolic groups and discrete groups in rank 1 Lie groups. II. Geom. Funct. Anal., 7(3):561–593, 1997.).
I think compact $p$-adic analytic groups that have no abelian normal subgroups are Hopfian and co-Hopfian as topological groups, but I haven't seen this explicitly stated anywhere.
Every open subgroup of the Nottingham group (p>3) is both Hopfian and co-Hopfian. On the one hand, the Nottingham group is hereditarily just infinite. So all it open subgroup are just infinite, that is their proper quotients are finite. On the other hand, Mikhail Ershov showed that the commensurator of the Nottingham group (p>3) is its automorphism group. So if two open subgroups are isomorphic the isomorphism extends to an automorphism of the Nottingham group. In particular, the indices in the Nottingham group of such subgroups are the same. Thus, if one is a subgroup of the other, they are equal.
EDIT: I should be a bit more careful. The fact that the commensurator of the Nottingham group is its automorphism group, does not say that the isomorphism extends to an automorphism, but that the isomorphism restricted to an open subgroup extends to an automorphism. This is good enough for the claim above. It is also may be that Mikhail actually proved the stronger claim that I made (I am not 100% sure).
EDIT2: I have got confused about the definition of co-Hopfian. This argument shows that the Nottingham group is finite co-Hopfian. It is not true that it is co-Hopfian from results of Rachel Camina (and also a paper of Fesenko).
$\mathbb{Q}$ is a classical example.

The accommodation consists of two floors (160 m2). Three of the bedrooms are located on the first floor, one of them counts with two single beds, and the others are equipped with a double bed. None of the bedrooms have air conditioning but we are pleased to supply fans upon request – please ask before. There are two bathrooms, one of them with shower cabin and the other one with bath tub.
The house has a rural and rustic atmosphere. Sit down and relax; the living area offers you a comfortable sofa to read a good book, watch television (Satellite TV) or just take a nap. Of course the living area also counts with a chimney for chilly nights. The dining area shares space with the living room. There is a table with seats for up to six people. The independent kitchen is fully equipped. There are enough parking spaces for up to 3 cars in front of the house, but they are not covered. Pets are welcome!
For your garden parties there is a BBQ and a table with seats on the terrace. Take a refreshing dip in the pool or just relax while your children are playing in the garden. The lawn has a size of about 50m2. The private pool has a size of 9 meters x 4 meters. Sure you will enjoy sunbathing by the pool on one of the sunloungers - the perfect place for all the sun lovers, who are searching for a quiet and private place to enjoy the Majorcan sun. From the terrace you will enjoy nice views over the countryside up to the mountains.
The plot has 1500 m2 and has been used for decades for agricultural purposes. The former owners were farmers and still you can see some remainders of this activity. Close to the house you will find sheeps, rabbits, hens, etc and a wide variety of trees, mostly almond trees.
About 2.5 kilometers far from the house, you will find the city of Inca. There you will find gas stations, a hospital, pharmacies, lots of restaurants and shops, supermarkets, etc.
When you leave Inca heading to Lluc you will pass by Selva and afterwards go into a valley, there lays the village of Caimari. There you will find some bars with a good atmosphere, especially during the night from the 16th to the 17th of august (during these dates take place the annual celebrations of the village). The town is famous for its good olive oil, which is elaborated there. At the olive mill "La Tafona" you can see all the process of making olive oil; furthermore they have a good restaurant.
The next beaches are situated in Puerto de Pollença and Puerto de Alcúdia. You will reach them in less than half an hour. In the west of the island you will find the magnificent mountain range of the Serra de Tramuntana with lots of nice spots. Very famous is the small bay "La Calobra".
NOTE: The rental of this property is based on the Spanish Law on Urban Leases (29/1994, 24th November). According this law the property is available for seasonal renting. However, the contract does not offer any tourist service. It is only for the use and enjoyment of the property.

Nice local neighbours, tremendous view and comfortable terrace, tasteful modern furniture. Sea and snorkel area just a view steps ahead. We can absolutely recommend it.
A very nice, big house in the old town. With arches from 1771! We enjoyed it very much.
We enjoyed our holiday in the accommodation very, The house was clean and well furnished. The beds were a bit hard and uncomfortable, but we recovered good anyway (;-)).
The distance to the beach is about 1 km, we had a car, so it was no problem.
The area is very quiet, sleeping in was not an issue.
We would love to go back. Is recommended.
Wimdu can I recommend, we had small problems with the house at the beginning, my colleagues have sought exemplary to the solution only, thank you for that!
Wir haben unseren Urlaub in der Unterkunft sehr genossen, Das Haus war sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die Betten waren leider etwas hart und unbequem, aber wir haben uns trotzdem (;-) ) gut erholt.
Der Abstand zum Strand ist ca 1 Km, wir hatten ein Auto, daher war es kein Problem.
Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, Ausschlafen war kein Problem.
Wir würden gerne wieder hinfahren. Ist empfehlenswert.
Wimdu kann ich nur empfehlen, wir hatten kleine Probleme mit dem Haus am Anfang, die Kollegen haben sich vorbildlich um die Lösung bemüht, danke dafür!
The house is great. You have enough room, beautiful pool and everything is clean. Two minor issues: 1. The owner can only speak Spanish, so that can be difficult. 2. The bed in one of the rooms was clearly at the end of his life.
The service from 'Charming Islands' was perfect. They are 24hours available and the service is good and swift.
We had a great vacation.
We were in August 2 weeks Add Son Veny and we felt very well filled. We can only agree with the content of the initial evaluation of Holger. The fact that the rooms are open at the top, is a very important information, but we did not really bother us at the end. The house is inside and outside in excellent condition and very individually decorated inside but tastefully. In particular, the spacious layout ensures that even with several people always find a spot somewhere. The homeowner is super nice and helpful. Only outside the few shady spots we found not so great. In particular, the pool a canopy or more umbrellas would have been very helpful.
Wir waren im August 2 Wochen in Son Veny und haben uns sehr wohl gefüllt. Wir können uns der ersten Bewertung von Holger inhaltlich nur anschließen. Dass die Räume nach oben offen sind, ist eine sehr wichtige Info, hat uns aber am Ende nicht wirklich gestört. Das Haus ist innen wie aussen in bestem Zustand und innen sehr individuell aber geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Besonders die großzügige Raumaufteilung sorgt dafür, dass man auch mit mehreren Leuten immer irgendwo ein Plätzchen findet. Der Hausbesitzer ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Einzig die wenigen Schattenplätze draussen fanden wir nicht so toll. Insbesondere am Pool wäre eine Überdachung oder mehrere Schirme sehr hilfreich gewesen.
Absolutely perfect stay. The apartment and location were brilliant , close to the beach and near to amenities. The owners were lovely. And the chalet/villa was lovely. Would highly recommend it!
We stayed at this beautiful house, our family vacation.
It was all very nice and warm prepared for our arrival, everything was clean and well maintained. We were there 10 days after five days were the owners
the Finca there.
You got us fresh hand towels and bed linen used, and our beds freshly made. The owner of the finca were very nice, the cottage is perfect for families.
The children can move freely in the grounds.
The location of the finca was very central but still very quiet and just a few minutes walk you are at the beach. The bus connection is OK you can be of Alcudia in 45 minutes by bus to Palma de Mallorca.
The neighborhood was very nice and helpful.
All in one it was a perfect holiday for us and we will definitely come again on the Finca back.
Wir haben in diesen Schönen Ferienhaus, unseren Familie Urlaub verbracht.
Es war alles sehr schön und Herzlich vorbereitet für unsere Ankunft, es war alles sauber und gepflegt. Wir waren 10 Tage da nach fünf Tagen waren die Besitzer
der Finca da.
Sie hab uns frische Hand und Bett Tücher gebraucht, und unsere Betten frisch bezogen. Die Besitzer der Finca waren sehr Nett, die Finca ist perfekt für Familien.
Die Kinder können sich auf dem Grundstück frei bewegen.
Die Lage der Finca war sehr zentral aber trotzdem sehr ruhig und in nur wenigen Minuten zu Fuß ist man am Strand. Die Bus Verbindung ist ok man kann von alcudia in 45 minuten busfahrt in Palma de Mallorca sein.
Die Nachbarschaft war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Alles in einen war das für uns ein Perfekter Urlaub und wir werden auf jedenfall nochmal auf die Finca zurück kommen.
We felt at Anna very well. It was a nice and clean place to stay. Every time we come back. Anna is a very affectionate and attentive landlady. Jörg and Birgit
Wir haben uns bei Anna sehr wohl gefühlt . Es war eine schöne und saubere Unterkunft . Jederzeit kommen wir wieder. Anna ist eine sehr liebe und zuvorkommende Vermieterin . Jörg und Birgit
one word description: AWESOME!
Beautiful house in a beautiful, quiet surrounding.
a lot of privacy and a perfect porch next to the pool.
very friendly people!
...aside from german neighboors, which complain about noise of beeping birds and some music, it was just a perfect vacation!
location is close to highway - 15 min to beach.
Only things missing: cooler, guitar and music amp
absolutely recommendable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great place, very central but quiet, right on the beautiful wide sandy beach, restaurants, supermarket, doctor, etc. In the immediate vicinity, very nice contact
Tolle Unterkunft, sehr zentral und doch ruhig, direkt am schönen breiten Sandstrand, Restaurants, Supermarkt , Arzt usw. in unmittelbarer Nähe, sehr netter Kontakt.

On stackoverflow, a question was asked about getting Mathematica to evaluate the integral,
$$\int^\infty_0 \frac{e^{-x}}{\sin x} \, \mathrm{d}x$$
which we know is divergent. In one of the answers, the integrand is replaced with its Taylor expansion, and integrated term by term, and in physics, it is often taken for granted that this works. But, under what circumstances is this valid for improper integrals, in general? More precisely, what must be done to properly interchange the two limiting processes?

11 Useful Products Too Embarrassing to Actually Use
Imagine a car that runs on tap water and never breaks down or needs replacement parts -- would you drive it? We forgot to mention that it's shaped like a giant clown penis.
Humans are funny creatures -- we tend to shun any product, no matter how useful, if it makes us look ridiculous. That's why virtually none of you own ...
#11. The GoateeSaver
Warning: No real woman will touch you while you wear the GoateeSaver.
Once you make that life-changing decision to grow a goatee, facial hair won't just magically stop showing up in other areas of your face, you know. You still have to shave, but what if your hand slips into goatee territory? Do you try to even it out, making it thinner and thinner until you wind up with a Hitler and a soul patch? Fortunately, technology has solved this problem with the GoateeSaver.
Look at that woman's face up there. She clearly wants to have sex with that guy strictly because of his goatee-shaving mouth cube. For anyone who isn't a depraved fetishist, though, this looks ridiculous. It's a good invention, sure -- you can even adjust it to different goatee sizes, as demonstrated in this video:
But no matter how much you adjust it, at best you look like the world's worst cyborg, and at worst like you tried to eat some tuna without opening the can.
#10. Hair-Cutting Umbrella
His smile says, "Mildly amused," but his eyes say, "God is dead."
The worst part of getting a haircut (besides people asking "Did you get a haircut?" when you clearly did) is that unavoidable itchy feeling on the back of your neck caused by little bits of hair that have fallen down your collar. We're serious here: Post-haircut itchiness is the main reason why so many people give up on society and turn homeless. The little cape the barber ties around your neck does nothing. It is a lie.
Well, someone has finally stood up to the gods of haircut, said "NO MORE" and made the above hair-catching neck gutter. It looks like it probably works great. And it makes you look like either a complete tool, or the average citizen in the year 2011 as portrayed in 1950s sci-fi.
Oh look, they come in childhood trauma size, too!
Look at the first picture. That man has absolutely no idea what's happening to him. He's like "What are we doing, guys? Is this a neck bathtub or something?" A second later he notices the woman with the sharp object coming from behind him and screams "OH MY GOD THEY ARE GOING TO COLLECT MY BLOOD!"
#9. Neck Air Cushion
Working in an office would be a slightly less soul-crushing experience if we could avoid the physical annoyances that come with it, like neck and back pain. That way, the torment would merely be psychological. Unfortunately, not every workplace can afford to hire dozens of interns just to massage everyone's neck all the time, so here's a much cheaper and simpler solution that we assume feels like you're being hugged by a balloon animal.
As relaxing as it may be, if we saw someone wearing this at the office, we'd fully expect an alien to burst out of her stomach within the hour. There's virtually no way to distinguish between this revolutionary self-massaging neck cushion and a mind-raping space pod.
"Let's take a blowtorch to her, just to be on the safe side."
#8. CubeGuard Notification System
Sometimes you're just too busy to deal with the social aspect of working in an office, but there are only so many ways you can say "I don't care about your children, Gary." Or maybe you just hate everyone you work with and really, really wish the feeling were mutual. The CubeGuard Notification System is the easiest way to make this happen.
This "simple, elegant signaling tool" is a banner that comes with helpful messages like "Please Do Not Disturb," "Currently Busy" and "Nobody Will Attend My Funeral" (this one's implied in all the others). The thing is, like most items in this list, this is actually a good idea, but there has to be a less dickishly passive-aggressive way to let people know that you're busy (like for example saying, "Hey, I'm busy").
You can even personalize your insult with Dilbert or a shower of kittens.
Other messages include "Working from Home" and "Out to Lunch," which you can leave on when you're not having lunch if you want to really confuse everyone. This thing also saves the police at least one step in securing your cubicle when someone inevitably murders you there.
#7. Clip-On LED Lights
It's 2011. So when, oh when, is it finally going to become socially acceptable to augment our bodies with technology? Hold a gun and you're a badass. Replace your arm with a gun, and suddenly you can't get a job.

"Your qualifications are excellent, but we just don't want to hear about your Warhammer army every lunch break."
Likewise, if you hold a flashlight in your hand while you fix a computer, you're cool -- even though you now only have half as many hands to do the work. But wear these awesome head-mounted LED lights, and you're a dork who's probably trying to slowly turn himself into a Borg.
#6. Circulation Improving Leg Wraps
This isn't some frivolous gadget here -- low blood flow in the legs is a serious problem. It can lead to blood clots, which in turn can lead to death. Hospitals use special compression wraps to squeeze your legs into behaving properly, so here's some you can use at home.
So, let's get this straight: The fact that some people really need this product means that the manufacturers put no effort into making them look anything other than completely ridiculous? Why not make them black? Or any color other than day-glo blue? When some elderly person comes to you and complains of numbness and swelling in his legs, why does your reply have to be, "Sure, we can fix that, but you have to agree to let us make you look like Megaman."
Then again, you never see Megaman getting DVT on long-haul flights.

I'm new to Linux but I'm about to start using a VPS to host my website. I've been reading about and it's been mentioned that I need to make sure that all of my logs are rotating and compressed, but I don't understand how to do that. I'll be using Plesk but I understand that it will only cover a few logs, so how do I make sure that all my logs are rotated? And is there an easier way to view them than by using grep/cat?
To flesh out what EightBitTony points out about
This is of interest since directives can supersede (contradict and override) one another, and they are processed inline; from the beginning of that section: "each configuration file can set global options (local definitions override global ones, and later definitions override earlier ones)" so if you include a file then contradict a directive in it, this last directive wins. Get used to reading man pages! They are your friend!
If you look at your
There are logrotate tutorials around if you find the man page a little dense initially. It's a great tool. The easiest thing to do is set up an experimental conf file outside the default directory that you can run by specifying that on the command-line. Make it refer to something specific so you don't create a mess whilst experimenting, and you should be able to get a handle on how things work that way.
Note that you don't have to run logrotate via cron; you can do it manually or via some other method depending on how you prefer to administer the server.
Many Linux distributions include log rotation by default, for the common log file formats. I don't know CentOS well enough to say whether it's included, but the configuration is usually in
So if you're talking about the basic log files, they're probably already catered for. Logrotate usually leaves the rotated (and optionally compressed) logs in the original directory in which they were created (which of course, varies per log), with most operating system logs being found in /var/log (on many distributions).
Linux distributions with package managers and people packaging software, usually ensure that when you install something that has logs, a new entry gets placed in the relevant logrotate location. That's one of the things you 'get' with a Linux distribution that you don't get by just downloading and compiling source. It's not a guarantee, some packaged software doesn't have it, but it's more common than not.
If you want to report on logs (you won't want to read them all), then you need to look at solutions such as
It's okay for one or two servers, but it's too much to handle if you get up to half a dozen or more at which point you need something else.

How to Sew Christmas Place Mats
Making place mats is an inexpensive way to decorate your Christmas table. Sewing holiday place mats means you can customize them with your theme colors or use traditional colors like red and green or silver and blue.
The instructions here show you how to make place mats out of the same type of fabric, but you can use different types of fabric to add more variety to your place mats. For example, you can make color blocks or create reversible place mats that you can flip.
To make four place mats, you need
1-1/2 yards of 45-inch-wide fabric
1-1/2 yards of 22-inch-wide nonwoven, double-sided, fusible interfacing (with paper backing)
Matching thread (For a no-sew option, use fabric glue.)
Straight pins
Sewing machine (not necessary when using the no-sew option)
Tape measure
Iron/ironing board
After you gather all the materials you need, you can follow these instructions:
Cut eight 13-x-19-inch rectangles from the fabric.
Cut four 12 1/2 x 18 1/2-inch rectangles from the fusible interfacing.
Center and place each piece of fusible interfacing on the wrong side of four of the fabric rectangles. Adhere the interface to the fabric by ironing according to manufacturer's suggestions.
With right sides facing, align the edges of a fused fabric piece to a plain fabric piece and pin them together.
Using a 3/8-inch seam allowance, sew or use fabric glue to bind the edges, leaving approximately 6 inches open for turning.
Clip corners near the seam and remove the paper backing from the fusible interfacing.
Turn the place mat right side out and carefully push the corners out, using your finger or an unsharpened pencil.
Making sure that the top piece of the place mat is centered over the bottom piece, begin pressing and fusing the two pieces together. Fold the edges under at the opening and press.
To close the opening, either whipstitch or glue it closed, using fabric glue.Finish off your placemat with a whipstitch.

Big City Plan - City Centre Masterplan
Shortcut to this page: www.birmingham.gov.uk/bigcityplan
The Big City Plan is a 20 year vision to encourage and support our continuing transformation to create a world class city centre. It covers every aspect of the built environment, from improving links into and out of the city, and maintaining and enhancing its unique character, to developing new residential communities and supporting our diverse economy. A plan showing the boundary covered by the plan is below.
Covering 800 hectares of the city centre, the Big City Plan is a physical regeneration tool and strategic planning document. It provides a framework to
- Create 1.5 million square metres of new floorspace
- Create over 50,000 new jobs
- Contribute £2.1 billion to the economy each year
- Create a well connected, efficient and walkable City Centre
- Provide 65,000 square metres of new and improved public spaces
- Provide 28 kilometres of enhanced walking and cycling routes
- Provide over 5,000 new homes with new leisure and recreational facilities to attract more families
- Value the city centre's heritage and cultural assets
- Integrate sustainable development and address the impact of climate change as part of the future transformation of the city centre
- Deliver five areas of transformation supporting the growth of the City Core
The Masterplan is not a Statutory Planning document, but we and our key partners have endorsed it as the vision and framework for future development and regeneration of the City Centre. Where proposals need to be embedded in the statutory planning process to enable land use change, this will be achieved through the Core Strategy and subsequent Supplementary Planning Documents.

Whenever I go to take a shower, I have to turn the handle to the absolute hottest setting just to avoid freezing. I know the hot water works in my house, so that's not the issue. It just seems like I should be able to make the water hotter if I could just turn the handle more. Is there a way to accomplish this easily?
Many faucets have an adjustable range. In the last one I installed there was plastic ring with v-grooves around the outside of it: to adjust the range you positioned two stops that hooked into the v-grooves.
Recommend the TIA* approach to see what you can see - it may be very straightforward. Just don't drop the screws down the drain!
*Take It Apart
In our new house, the shower controls in the kids bathrooms are adjustable so you can set the temperature to prevent scalding. Even if the kids push the control all the way to HOT, the water will only be comfortably warm.
I'm not sure about all controls, but on ours you pop the face off the control. Inside there are 2 (I think) geared rings that you can position to set the maximum temperature.
Doityourself has a good article called "How to Repair a Shower Faucet: Water Doesn't Get Hot" that covers how to troubleshoot and repair a cartridge-type shower faucet, which I suspect is your problem.
How old is your hot water heater? I ask because I ran into the same issue. I'd turn my shower on full hot, no cold water at all and I'd still only get warm - semi-hot water when realistically I should have been scalded. Turns out my hot water heater was set too low (was set on the "A" setting out of "A, B and C" with "C" being the hottest). I set it to "C" and that solved the issue for a while. It started doing it again, I called around and found out that as a hot water heater gets older it loses it's heating capability. My water heater was about 12 years old and wasn't heating efficiently. Got a new water heater and now I get steaming hot water again.

I would like to know how to prove that :
$$ \dfrac{x}{2}< 2^{\lfloor\log_2 (x) \rfloor} \leq x$$
for $x \in \mathbb{N}_+ $
Should I proceed by induction? By contradiction?
Thank you
I would like to know how to prove that :
We know that, for any real number $a$, $$a - 1 < \lfloor a\rfloor \leq a.$$ Therefore, for any positive $x$, we have $$(\log_2 x) -1<\lfloor \log_2 x\rfloor \leq \log_2 x.$$ Raising $2$ to each of these expressions, we obtain $$2^{(\log_2 x) - 1}<2^{\lfloor \log_2 x\rfloor}\leq 2^{\log_2 x}\text{, or}$$ $$ \frac x 2 < 2^{\lfloor \log_2 x\rfloor}\leq x.$$
Here by $\log$ we mean logarithm to the base $2$.
If we are allowed to use basic properties of logarithms, the problem is straightforward. Let $a=\lfloor \log x\rfloor$. Then $\log x=a+e$, where $0\le e\lt 1$.
The inequality on the right is obvious. For the inequality on the left, note that $$x=2^{\log x}=2^a2^e.$$ But $2^e\lt 2$. It follows that $2^a\gt \frac{1}{2}x$. If we do not wish to use the word "obvious" for the inequality on the right, use $1\le 2^e\lt 2$.
I suspect what your professor expects you to do is expand that middle term:
$ 2^{log(x)} = x ^{log(2)}$
Then you just have to show that
$ \frac{x}{2} < x^{log(2)} \leq x $
The easiest way to get that done is to actually show it's true for a base case (like x = 1), then show that, for $ x \geq 1 $, the inequality for x implies the inequality for x +1 (i.e. proceed by induction).
Actually, it may be easier to show that it's true for x = 1 and x = 2, and then proceed by induction assuming $ x \geq 2 $.

Encouraging Good Eating Habits in Toddlers
In This Article:
Teach your child to feed himself by letting him feed himself. It gets messy, but be patient. Eventually the mess will probably bother your child more than you! Yay!
- The oldest and best rule ever for getting children to eat their meals is to limit snacks during the day. Especially limit sweet snacks and encourage fresh fruit, vegetables, and water!
- The correct portion for a toddler's meal is one tablespoon of each food served for every year of age. For example, a two-year-old might get two tablespoons each of applesauce, chicken, and carrots, where a one-year-old would only get one tablespoon of each.
- If your child wants to eat the same thing every day, such as warm mashed potatoes, he may be telling you he prefers food with that particular texture and/or temperature. Find alternate foods with the same qualities (such as rice, oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, warmed applesauce, custards, and thick soups)—he may like them also.
- Don't be surprised if your toddler gets attached to a certain food and wants to eat only that food for a while. My brother ate a peanut butter sandwich every day for four years. But on his first day of school he switched to bologna with ketchup. Think of it as comfort food. As long as it's a decent, healthy choice (not candy), it's okay. He will drop it when he's ready.
- Whenever you have more than one child with you, always buy each child the exact same food, the exact same toy, the same color balloon...you get the idea.
- Cooking, preparing, and baking can be fun! Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut small shapes from bread slices. It's easier if you freeze a loaf of sliced bread first. Then get out the peanut butter and jelly and you're set for a tea party! Add a little colored sugar on top of each "tea sandwich" for real excitement.
- Use a regular pair of scissors to cut pizza and toast into fun shapes. You can make a meal into an adventure!
- Most toddlers love eating animal-shaped snacks: animal crackers, graham cracker teddy bears, and goldfish crackers are very popular choices.
- If you can't build a snowman, bake one! Use a sugar cookie recipe and your imagination, and you're on your way.
- Toddlers can be a handful in restaurants, but a strategically planned meal can keep them occupied:
- Always bring along snacks your toddler likes. A great snack to keep on hand is pretzel rods (the larger ones). Give one to him as soon as you get situated.
- Place your order right away.
- Order buttered noodles—eating slippery noodles keeps toddlers busy.
- Use spoon foods like applesauce to occupy hands.
- Dipping foods, like chicken strips or cheese sticks, are ideal.
- Consider ordering one or two small appetizers served back to back. The point of this is to divert your toddler's attention with a new activity. Order foods that require different movements: dipping, stirring, and pulling.
- Be advised: Older children will attempt to show your baby by example which foods to eat—and which to avoid. Feed your baby separately if you have older children who won't eat what you want her to eat.

A building rich with history in Bowling Green is being transformed with a new purpose in mind.
By summer you could be living in the rear portion of the National Guard Armory off Chestnut Street.
For the developer his new project that hits close to home.
An old building is getting new life.
"The old armory built in 1927 probably one of the most historic buildings in downtown Bowling Green, and were taking the drill hall portion of it and turning that into 20 individual loft apartments,"says David Garvin Jr., Developer.
Garvin holds the project close to home as his family's past involves memories at the armory.
"It has a rich history just with us, my grandad was a boxer and actually taught golden glove boxing in here back in the 50's. My dad was in the National Guard he used to drill here,"says Garvin.
The building has endured two fires, was home to the National Guard in 1965, later our news station, and now could be the place you call home.
"I lived in lofts in other cities such as Chicago and Nashville, and it was always unique and special to me in that city. It's one thing Bowling Green never had,"says Garvin.
The 14,0000 square foot building will remain true to its unique architecture.
"Our hope is not cover up any of the niceness of the building but to expose it,"says John Williams, Architect.
"Were going to try to use everything we can that was in the original building,"says Fred Smith, General Contractor.
You can expect to pay at least $700 to $850 a month to rent a loft.
"We have 4 different plan types that are here all of them are one bedroom but they will vary in size a little bit,"says Williams.
They all hope it will bring a little piece of history back to life in Bowling Green.
"It's going to be a great catalyst for downtown living,"says Garvin.
They expect to be renting by June of 2013.
For more information on the lofts and to set up a pre-lease you can visit armorylofts.com

CHINA SPRING (December 6, 2012)--The superintendent at China Spring Independent School District confirmed Thursday that the administration is investigating a report of improper communications between a teacher and a student.
Dr. Jason McCullough said the teacher was asked to go home while the investigation is conducted.
McCullough said there was no physical relationship alleged in the report, which was brought to his attention Thursday.
Details about the student were not released and the teacher's name has not been released because she has not been charged.
McCullough said law enforcement officials have been contacted and are aware of the internal investigation.

March 19, 2012 (San Diego) -- Ultrasound treatment can reduce excessive sweating in the underarms by nearly 80%, according to a new study.
Researchers used a ''microfocused" ultrasound to target the sweat glands in 14 men and women, aged 18 to 75, says Mark Nestor, MD, PhD, a dermatologist and voluntary associate professor of dermatology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
All had hyperhidrosis, a condition where a person sweats much more than the body needs to cool itself.
"Microfocused ultrasound appears to be effective and safe in the treatment of hyperhidrosis," Nestor says. It works, he says, by heating and destroying the sweat glands under the arm.
The sweating can occur even when the temperature is cool and the person is at rest. The armpits, palms, and soles are often affected.
He presented the findings here at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Nestor received a research grant for the study from Ulthera, which makes the technology. The study was small and the findings are preliminary.
Excessive Sweating: The Problem
About 3% of people suffer from this excessive sweating.
Doctors diagnose it by tests such as the starch-iodine test. In this test, iodine solution is applied to the areas with sweat. When it dries, starch is sprinkled on the area. If there is excess sweat, the combination turns purplish.

FILE - This June 8, 2004 file photo shows the transit of Venus, which occurs when the planet Venus passes between the Earth and the Sun, is pictured in Hong Kong. (AP Photo/Vincent Yu,File)
In the three years since it first provided images of the sun in the spring of 2010, NASA?s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has had virtually unbroken coverage of the sun's rise toward solar maximum, the peak of solar activity in its regular 11-year cycle. This video shows those three years of the sun at a pace of two images per day. Each image is displayed for two frames at a 29.97 frame rate.
SDO?s Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) captures a shot of the sun every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths. The images shown here are based on a wavelength of 171 Angstroms, which is in the extreme ultraviolet range and shows solar material at around 600,000 Kelvin. In this wavelength it is easy to see the sun's 25-day rotation as well as how solar activity has increased over three years.
During the course of the video, the sun subtly increases and decreases in apparent size. This is because the distance between the SDO spacecraft and the sun varies over time. The image is, however, remarkably consistent and stable despite the fact that SDO orbits the Earth at 6,876 miles per hour and the Earth orbits the sun at 67,062 miles per hour.
Such stability is crucial for scientists, who use SDO to learn more about our closest star. These images have regularly caught solar flares and coronal mass ejections in the act, types of space weather that can send radiation and solar material toward Earth and interfere with satellites in space. SDO?s glimpses into the violent dance on the sun help scientists understand what causes these giant explosions ? with the hopes of someday improving our ability to predict this space weather.
The four wavelength view at the end of the video shows light at 4500 Angstroms, which is basically the visible light view of the sun, and reveals sunspots; light at 193 Angstroms which highlights material at 1 million Kelvin and reveals more of the sun's corona; light at 304 Angstroms which highlights material at around 50,000 Kelvin and shows features in the transition region and chromosphere of the sun; and light at 171 Angstroms.

Ok I know there are many many question about it, and I have no problem with closing this one if someone can guide me to the answer I am looking for.
Sometimes, I like to give sympathy-upvotes myself : if I see an answer in minus that has no reason at all to be in minus as far as I am concerned, I upvote. I must admit I wouldn't upvote it when it was 0.
Eg: s.o. asks something very trivial, like a syntax issue :
'why is 'select * where a > 0 from table'.` not working?
Then I don't even read the answers. A '-1' however stands out, and when it's correct
'you should check your syntax, where clause comes last''
I undo than the -1 because there's no need for it.
Maybe a bad example , but in cases where I think the answer doesnot deserve a minus, but in my opinion neither qualifies for an upvote, what should i do?

In this comment, the author uses the expression the Drude is on board with this.
What does it mean?
Just a guess, since I'm not familiar with Drupal, but my immediate reaction was that "Drude" was a portmanteau of "Druid" and "Dude", which would be somewhat in keeping with the Wikipedia definition, and connoting some sort of hip wizard, with the additional benefit of the initial "dr" reflecting Drupal as well.
'The Drude' would seem to be a moderator or someone important on Drupal.org (*Dr*upal + dude I'd imagine).
The phrase 'get on board' means that someone has agreed to cooperate with or support something. E.g.
I think it is probably a joining of Drupal and The Dude (a/k/a Jeff Bridges' character in The Big Lebowski).
Either that's someone's chosen screen name or the fictional embodiment of some familial spirit that stalks the Drupal board in question. OK, maybe "slouches through" the boards is a better way to put it.
But that's, well, like, you know, just my opinion, man.

Hi, I am using the Rating plugin with Sencha Touch 2.0 but would like to move up to 2.1.x. Unfortunately it throws an error when I try to run it:
[Ext.fx.Animation] Invalid animation type of: 'rating'
Anybody else experiencing the same problem or is there a fix planned (couldn't find that on GitHub?).

The Simpsons has been running for a long time, how does the series handle the character's aging? There's an annual Halloween episode, so we know the years pass in Springfield, but do the characters age at all?
The Simpsons utilizes a floating timeline to explain how the world of the show advances in time while the characters remain the same age.
From Wikipedia:
The show always takes place in the current year and the characters will always remain the same (general) ages except in certain episodes that show flashbacks or someone's future or where the plot simply requires a birthday, etc.
As a result, there's actually very little continuity between the episodes themselves and plenty of things that just don't make sense if you look at the series as a whole. Basically, the writers do what they want, and if you ever notice a problem you can just assume a wizard did it.
The 11th season finale Behind the Laughter, Lisa reveals the sick, sad truth:
The following Wikia link says -
Its not the only cartoon where age doesn't change with time, there are so many others too that doesn't need to be mentioned. The given wikia link also tells you the
Common Theories Used to explain this are -
Eternal Youth-
One common theory is that, like in many cartoons, the characters never age and are trapped at the age of their first appearance. However, Homer, Bart, Lisa and Maggie have all had episodes involving their birthdays.
Slowed Time-
Another common theory is that, because only one half-hour episode airs approximately each week, the flow of time in The Simpsons is considerably slower than in real life. This theory is supported by the apparent, though minimal, growth of the characters, as well as the noted marks of time. However, this causes a problem with episodes such as All's Fair in Oven War, when the kitchen takes 2 years (in the Simpsons-verse) to remodel, but no-one has aged.
Time Evolution-
Though the above theories are accepted, they fail to address the fact that as the years go by, it becomes apparent that the characters evolve through time. Homer and Marge fell in love in the 1970s in early seasons, and now it is said to have occurred in the 1990s. It may be that as time progresses, the characters present, past and occasionally future selves evolve into consecutive timezones.
An example is if the viewer is told in an episode that aired in 1990 that Homer was born in 1963, then in a 1991 episode he will have been born in 1964.
Anti-Growth HormonesEdit-
In a section of Behind the Laughter, Lisa said that to prolong the series, she was forced to take anti-growth hormones, however, this episode is non-canon.

I've been thinking about this for awhile now (I am trying to find a method of proving the Borsuk-Ulam theorem in 2 dimensions without resorting to the usual, and not so intuitive to non-mathematicians topological arguments). I saw the question Does a continuous scalar field on a sphere have continuous loop of "isothermic antipodes" posted here, but am curious about a stronger statement.
Say you have a continuous map $f$ from $S^2$ to $R$. Let $U$ be the set of points such that $f(x)=f(-x)$ for $-x$ being the antipode of $x$. I;ve been able to show that if $U$ is not the entire sphere, then every pair of antipodal points which are not mapped to the same value by $f$ are disconnected in $S^2-U$ (using an argument similar to one posted in the above question). So; the set $U$ must then contain at least one continuous loop. What I am trying to show is that $U$ must contain a loop $C$ such that $C=-C$ (equivelantly, that there is a loop $C$ in $U$ for which $S^2-C$ is two disjoint "hemispheres" of equal areas).
It seems to me that if this were not the case then you could construct a second map $g$ on $S^2$ such that its set of antipodes mapping to the same value would be completely disjoint from $U$ (since two loops on a sphere which are not "equators" in the sense that they divide the area of the sphere in half do not necessarily need to intersect), and then you could construct a map from $S^2$ to $R^2$ which had no antipodes mapping to the same value by $F=(f,g)$, which would contradict the theorem I know is true but would like to prove.
Maybe I'm going about this in a difficult way, so any suggestions on how to study the nature of the set $U$ would be appreciated.

This is a dish that I always eat when dining at Spanish style restaurants, but never seem to be able to replicate at home using black beans and olive oil. The main problem is that the beans seem to cook down to a soup consistency to quickly - any tips?
The heightened flavor of refried beans (over regular beans) comes from two components: the extra fat, and the Maillard (browning) reactions caused by the cooked beans shallow-frying in hot fat. Effectively, a crust forms where the mashed beans contact the fat. This crust breaks up later when the dish is stirred together.
If you can get them, try pinto beans rather than black.
Standard Refried Beans (from a can)
Bonus:Roasted Garlic Refried Beans (from a can)
These are SO delicious, it makes a ton and they actually tend to be better (thicker and the flavor has settled in more) after refrigerating overnight. I have served these to a lot of people (I often make them for parties) and people are always impressed with the result and it is so simple!
I just use Rick Steins method and fry a little garlic or other flavouring in some oil and then add a can of beans with some of the juice and then mash and heat through. It doesn't work too badly and is very easy to do.

requires : [ 'App.util.Config'] error in multiple profile app, production version
Hi guys, I am using a "config" for some global variables used several times in the app.
it is a singleton object like this :
Ext.define('APP.util.Config', { singleton : true, alias : 'widget.appConfigUtil', config : { baseUrl : 'xx.xx.xx.xxx', }, constructor: function(config) { this.initConfig(config); this.callParent([config]); }})
and in app.js I include like this:
requires : [ 'App.util.Config']
and access format is like this:
Works fine until I start to have 2 profiles in app "Phone/Tablet"
pretty much all .js files in outside of "phone/tablet" folder (the one used for both profiles), I can access the util.Config, works as well when I compress in "production" build.
The issue is just in "production" version (compressed), when I try to access "util.Config" variables from
one of the profile folder (phone/table). for example :
So far I fix the solution by adding requires : [ 'App.util.Config'] in every sigle file where I neet to access any of the "config variables" in one of the profile folder (phone/tablet).
Question is:
There is a way not to duplicate requires : [ 'App.util.Config'], because theoretically The file was already required in "app.js" which is the main file.
Thanks in advice !

You should be able to require the class in app.js using Ext.require() before anything else and that will allow it to be used everywhere.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

But that it is exactly what I do, and feels like it doesn't work.
i tried to use both scenarios in app.js:
..... Ext.require( 'MyApp.util.config' ); Ext.application({ .....
... requires: [ 'Ext.MessageBox' 'MyApp.util.config' ], ....
And how I said before it works everywhere except the stuff is in any profile pages, for example here doesn't work:
.. Ext.define('MyApp.view.phone.Events', { ...

Thousands of icebergs are calved from polar regions annually, and melt in the oceans. George Mougin, an entrepreneurial engineer, aspires to tow multi-million ton icebergs to areas of the world lacking sufficient potable water.
Simulations by Dassault Systemes suggest that a single tug is capable of towing a multi-million ton tabular iceberg from Newfoundland to the Canary Islands. Given suitable oceanic and meteorlogical conditions, the trip would take about five months with a melt loss of about 38%. Should oceanic transportation of icebergs be succesful, how could the water be efficiently and timely harvested and transported to needy areas?

Hire ILR Students
Student Facts
ILR prides itself on the ethnic, racial and geographic diversity of its students and is responsive to social, academic, and cultural needs of minority students. ILR students hail from all corners of the country and world. For information on current class year demographics, please contact Regina Duffey Moravek, Director, at (607) 255-7816.
What makes ILR unique?
It is the only institution of higher education in the United States to offer an undergraduate degree in the interdisciplinary field of workplace studies. ILR's curriculum spans six academic departments and encompasses the interdisciplinary, social sciences-based field of workplace studies.
View specific information about the BSILR curriculum.
View more information about our graduate degree programs and curriculum.
Assessing Student Interest
If you are interested in assessing student interest in a position before deciding to visit campus for interviews, you may want to set up an online job posting using Handshake. We can also help you use the system to collect résumés from a specific target group if you wish to fill a position without visiting campus.
On-Campus Recruiting
The ILR Office of Career Services hosts an active on-campus recruiting program managed through Handshake. Employers find on-campus visits to be a very effective way to identify prospective summer interns and full-time hires.
We work with you to make your visit productive. In general each interview schedule can include nine to twelve (thirteen) interviews, depending on length of interview. Some employers set up separate schedules for different positions, while others will combine candidates (for instance, for summer and full-time positions) on one schedule.
All employers — whether recruiting our students on campus or at their own locations — are expected to adhere to Cornell Career Service's recruiting policies.
The Fall 2016 recruiting calendar runs from September 12 until December 2 (with summer internship interviewing to begin on October 5), and the Spring 2017 calendar runs from January 30 until May 10 (MILR schedules begin on 2/13). To schedule a recruiting date for 2016-17, please visit career.cornell.edu.
Once your reservation request is complete, you will receive a confirmation via e-mail, with instructions for arranging your on-campus visit. You may wish to hold a presentation or information session for ILR students in conjunction with your visit. Please view the OCR Managing Tips for help.
From this point forward, you will be working with our ILR Recruiting Coordinator, Dottie Carlson, 607-255-2724, firstname.lastname@example.com, on your plans for your visit.
Summer Internships
Many employers ask if they are legally required to pay students enrolled in an internship. The answer to that question depends on whether or not the student is considered an employee subject to the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA requires employers to pay all employees at the rate of not less than current minimum wage. The Department of Labor (DOL) has developed criteria to assist employers in identifying when a student is not considered an employee within the meaning of the FLSA:
- The training, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to that which would be given in a vocation school.
- The training is for the benefit of the trainees or students.
- The trainees or students do not displace regular employees, but work under their close observation.
- The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the trainees or students, and on occasion the employer's operations may actually be impeded.
- The trainees or students are not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the training period.
- The employer and the trainees or students understand that the trainees or students are not entitled to wages for the time spent in training.
A student not meeting all of the above criteria will in fact be considered an employee covered by the FLSA and therefore the employer is legally obligated to provide compensation for his or her services. As with all matters requiring legal interpretation, it is always wise for employers to work closely with their own legal department to ensure compliance with federal and applicable state laws.
Interview Feedback
We ask employers who conduct on-campus interviews to provide us some candid feedback on the students they meet. This information helps students identify areas of strength and for improvement in their interviewing style. We share recruiters' evaluations anonymously with students—only after we have comments from more than one recruiter—during individual advising sessions. The Interview Feedback Form is included in the packets of information we provide each recruiter on the day of the on-campus visit.
Tips to a Successful Recruiting Visit
- Complete online Interview Request Form.
- You may wish to hold a presentation or information session for ILR students in conjunction with your on-campus recruiting visit. Limit time of your presentation to one and one-half hours maximum.
- Enter or update job description in Handshake.
- Become familiar with Handshake and monitor résumé submissions.
- Be prepared to preselect and email students in Handshake (personally let them know they are invited to interview, as well as to remind students of any scheduled presentations or information sessions, or any forms you may need them to complete prior to their interview).
- To assist in filling your schedule, it's important to select alternates, in the event preselected students choose not to sign up on the schedule.
- Monitor schedule sign-ups in Handshake to see that your schedule is as you expect.
- Look for frequent email messages from Dottie Carlson, Recruiting Coordinator, and keep in contact throughout the process.
- Establish a timeline for your recruitment goals.
- Provide clear expectations surrounding your recruitment process.
- Provide information about your organization, the positions you are recruiting for, career paths, and anticipate questions from a college-aged student audience.
- Provide opportunities for questions and networking.
- Please stay in touch with Regina Duffey Moravek, Director, if you have any changes, questions or concerns.
- Notify students regarding decisions and next steps in a timely manner. Students rely on the response dates you've established to make good decisions while considering their options. Employers who adhere to well-established and short timelines impress upon the student that they are truly interested in their candidacy.
- Consider establishing a contact person for consistency in communication and developing a personalized relationship with students.
Employer Presentations
If you would like to hold a presentation or information session for ILR students in conjunction with your on-campus recruiting visit, we recommend that you make arrangements with Ann Herson in the ILR Conference Center at email@example.com. She will work with you to arrange a session right here in the ILR School. We offer two time frames for your presentation: 5:00-6:30 p.m. or 6:30-8:00 p.m. We recommend your presentation be no longer than one and a half hours in length. If you need an alternate arrangement, please work with Ann.
To make your presentation as productive as possible, we recommend you limit the time of your presentation to one to one and a half hours, and consider sending an e-mail message to invited students (students on your interview schedules).
After you have confirmed a date, place and time for your reception, please call Dottie Carlson (607-255-2724) with the details so we can help publicize the event to students.
Résumé Books
In addition to our on-campus recruiting program, you have several options to reach students through job postings and our ILR Résumé Books. ILR student résumés may be obtained by ordering one or all of the current Résumé Books.
The ILR Office of Career Services produces three résumé books each year.
Fall Term (ready by mid-October):
International students earning bachelor's and master's degrees looking for internship or full-time positions are represented in our International Résumé Book. The book features students from ILR's diverse international populace whose interests, language skills and, in some cases, dual citizenship, make a global, US, offshore or home-country assignment particularly appealing.
The Minority Résumé Book contains résumés of minority students enrolled in the ILR School. Students of African, Asian, Latino/a and/or Native American descent have submitted their résumés for review by you for both intern and full-time employment opportunities.
Spring Term (ready by mid-March):
The Labor and Social Justice Résumé Book, which features résumés from ILR students who are seeking internship and full-time opportunities in labor unions, labor research, and social justice. This book is provided to all organizations attending the Social Justice Career Fair and to others on request.
The International, Minority, and Labor and Social Justice Résumé books are available to employers at no cost. To request a copy, please call 607-255-7816 or email email@example.com.
Posting a Job to Experienced ILR Alumni
To reach more experienced alumni, post in the ILR Alumni Bulletin by filling out this form. The Alumni Bulletin is produced weekly and postings are free of charge. Search firms are charged a modest fee. For more information, contact the Alumni Bulletin Coordinator at 607 255-5584 or by email firstname.lastname@example.com

Why do short term implieds move more than long term?
Implied volatility represents the market expectation of "stuff happening in the future". Over long periods, all that stuff tends to cancel out a bit, so long-term vols are much more stable. In the short term, a single news item may be enough to drastically increase (or decrease) return uncertainty.
From a quant point of view, we think of volatility as "mean-reverting".
Actually, short term implied volatility is higher at high volatility periods and lower at low realized volatility periods. From a quantitative perspective, the explanation for this is usually that short-term implied volatility is more influenced by the recent realized volatility, while longer-term is more influenced by the long term average. From a market perspective, it probably has to do with squeezes and reaching for protection at the time of need (so it's higher then longer term) and option over-writing in the front during the quiet times.
I think your question is ambiguous, in the subject you ask why short term implied volatility is higher, in the body you ask why do short term "implieds" move more than long term, which indicates you are asking more about the short-term vol-of-vol.
For a), short term implied vols are not typically higher at the money. They might be at the wings, due to many reasons depending who you ask, but I typically favor the vol-of-vol-leading-to-kurtosis explanation. This explanation ALSO covers why ATM short-term vols are LOWER (higher peak of probability at-the-money due to the excess kurtosis).
For b), why is short-term vol-of-vol higher, I believe it's as mentioned above because on short time scales the variance of volatility overwhelms the mean-reversion of volatility.
It's worth pointing out that "implied volatility" is just a model output of market prices, so it gets a bit dangerous to try and understand why "it" does things, when its sometimes more fruitful to think, "why do traders demand higher prices for options in these regimes or those?"
I found Nassim Taleb's Dynamic Hedging a pretty good read for these sorts of questions.
While everyone touched on the subject of short term volatility, I believe Jim Gatheral and Bruno Dupire provides a great explanation about the term structure of volatility. Generally, we see that the ATM implied vol have a term structure roughly of the form $\sqrt{\tau}$ and we see that the term structure of ATM skew has a term structure roughly of the form $a - b\sqrt{\tau}$ where you can get the coefficients from fitting your data. The reason that we see that shorter to maturity options typically are quoted at higher volatility is because of jumps (which is equivalent to > 0 excess kurt). The longer the maturity, the more and more gaussian the gamma of your option is and therefore the jump costs you less. Whereas for short term maturities, the gamma converges to a dirac delta function. This implies that if there were a jump, the slippage is much higher for shorter to maturity functions.
