Even after I have asked a person's name a number of times, I still have trouble remembering it. How can I improve my ability with recalling names?
There are many techniques publicised, but many of them seem to come back to connecting the name with some physical representation of the person.
For example I might link the surname Smith with someone's very dark eyebrows and in my head link this as Blacksmith.
This might sound a little silly, but in fact the sillier aspect you can use the better the brain seems to remember it.
It takes a bit of practice but really makes a difference to the effectiveness of remembering names.
Alberto Dell'Isola describes a few tricks to memorize names in Super Memória - você também pode ter uma - portuguese (no official translation to English).
Mr. Dell'Isola also describes a complex technique requiring one to picture the associations interacting with each other in a given place. This is most likely focused on his students aiming for competitions so I won't get into details here.
Another way is to send people invites on LinkedIn. Then you have a place where you can see peoples faces and names.
After your meeting, try to find a picture of them on the internet. Facebook, linkedIn, their website or simply their business card.
Put picture and name into Anki and after a while you can trust that you know the name.
I add a minimum of two cards:
Just just have to make daily Anki usage into a habit and you will have a great memory. I have to invest some time but I think it's worth the investment. With practice it can become easier. Learning a bit mnemonics can also cut down the time.
If you do your homework, you become the guy who knows the name of everybody.
Here's some advice on the issue by Philip Guo.
According to Philip, "Accurately remembering names is one of the simplest yet most important components of interacting with people, no matter in what capacity."
He goes on to provide eight tips on HOW we can better remember people's names and WHY we should not call others by wrong names or nick-names (unless they sanction it), and stresses on the fact that we must make an effort to make sure we remember (and not falter with) names that seem unconventional to us. He then ends it with a few tips from some readers.
Here's a simple tip I am using: use his/her name in your conversation at least three times.
Here's what works for me. Write their name down, several times. Also, say their name when you shake their hand.. like "NIce to meet you John Smith".
You need to engage several different sectors of the brain with the name.
My suggestion is to study how you remember things well. Is it better if something is in numbers versus letters,e.g. instead of remembering Bob, you remember this person is 2.15.2 which you can translate back as Bob? Do you do better with colors where you could imagine each person as a color? Daniel Tammet: Different ways of knowing would be a TED talk where the speaker discusses how he combines colors, shapes and numbers together in how he understands the world. If you write the name out a dozen times, does that help? There may be a lot of trial and error to find the tools that work for you.
For myself, written things tend to be recalled better than others though I do tend to collect bits of trivia.
There isn't one answer. It depends on what works for you and what you have trouble with. My favorite techniques are saying the person's name immediately/in conversation and then writing it down for next time. It still takes me a few tries though.
For names I've never heard before, I've been learning initials and then putting learn "xyz abc's name" on my to do list. That way I see it enough times that i learn it.
Admittedly, this does not directly answer your question, but may be useful to know.
In my experience, the best tool is actually being unafraid to ask for a person's name multiple times, and sometimes being accepting that names are not your forte. Typically when I have to re-ask a name, I find it makes other people feel more comfortable and at ease around you. When you are comfortable showing that you are not perfect others have a tendency to reciprocate that attitude. This tends to generate a more socially safe atmosphere in which people will feel more comfortable asking you questions, sharing their problems, and openly stating their opinions.
That being said, the two most common methods I've heard for memorizing names are either repetition of looking at a face and stating the name in your mind, or creating a very, strange vivid visualization of their name that doubles as a mnemonic.
An example of an mnemonic with my name, Brandon, would be to imagine my face and you take a "Brand" with the letter "B" and put it "on" my forehead. Or for the name Jeanne, I'll think of the words "G" and "ant", and imagine the person walking around with G shaped ants on their body. Typically the more absurd you make the imagery the more it has a tendency to strongly stick in your mind.
I am often confronted with many new names at the workplace. What I do is, I simply write the names down in a very small (paper) notebook together with a short info. Like this" "Susan - blonde girl in tech support, responsible for the cluster". Simple.
That works for me... Write their name on a piece of paper and post the paper on a wall or something close to your workplace. Also, write down the names in an (online) computer file.
I know this sounds weird but I've heard that when the person says their name, you proceed to imagine their name written in big red letters over their head and that's supposed to help you remember the name.
I suppose it makes sense if only because it forces you to think about the name for more than the moment it took them to say it to you. Otherwise, you may not even hear them when they say their name to begin with.

Prey {RP Revamp} - 04-27-2009, 03:30 PM
This was an old, old, old RP, you guys can probably find it on page 2 or 3. This RP is going to be nothing like that RP except for a few key points that I will point out in my opening paragraph, which will be in a separate post due to character limitations. This RP is a little stricter than what I usually do.
Prey. Either you hunt it or you are it. In the future, in this time frame, humanity has spread across the universe and space travel is unlimited. Hundreds upon thousands of new civilizations are popping up on all sorts of planets; in fact, a lot of cities on certain planets are called New. New Vienna on Arguerra; New Mecca on Helion 6. They have traits of the old cities on Earth.
Earth is long gone; destroyed by war and ravished by nuclear radiation. Sure, humans still live there, but are they really human anymore? Mutations are abundant, and a lot of newborns don't live long because defects are often fatal. Some people who survived childhood and teen years moved away; some still linger.
Ships are more or less like gigantic cities; while many transport cruisers have cryosleep chambers for long voyages, there are other ships where everybody is always awake. Well, except for the necessary sleep, but you understand, I'm sure. Mercenary ships often have cryosleep systems on them for transporting high risk bounties; the larger ones that stay in space longer tend to have very large stores of mercenaries in cryosleep in case of an emergency. The dreams that come from cryosleep are vivid and at times even terrifying; many have woken up insane. Though that may also be due to the cramped quarters.
There are numerous prisons across the universe as well; the two highest security ones are Crematoria and Butcher Bay. However, the latter has been having some issues ever since the escape of a lucrative prisoner who goes by the name of Ridd'ck...
Crematoria is a planet; it's practically glued to the sun in its system, and as a result of the close proximity it is downright suicide to be on its surface during the day. If you are outside out in the open and the sun is coming out, you'll be burnt alive. Not pretty. Trust me.
You are one of the some hundred thousand people on the prison ship Deadly Nightshade. Whether you are a captured bounty/prisoner, a merc, or a guard, that's up to you. But be warned; some of the guards will do anything to see each other fall, so choose your friends wisely. The prisoners generally have free reign, to an extent; they are not allowed near the engine room, control room, or any rooms that could potentially pose a problem if taken over by prisoners. While there are no guards in these rooms, there are guns mounted on the walls and there are also numerous security measures in the rooms.
The Nightshade is heading for Crematoria to drop off some of the more dangerous of the criminals, and the captain - whose name and face are unknown - is planning on abandoning some of their crew there; said members are supposedly planning a mutiny. The ship, however, is still several months off; and there is no cryosleep except for most of the merc army and the more dangerous inmates.
They say Ridd'ck himself may be hiding in the Cryo room; the thermal sensors continue to indicate there is somebody moving around in there, despite nobody being found when guards go to investigate.
So: Who are you? What's your story?
Okay, so you're either a guard, a merc, a bounty, or some random loser who got dragged into this mess. Maybe you're a cook or something. Anyway, there are four areas of the prison section of the ship - which is roughly the area size of a very, very large hotel with none of the fancy digs - called Fox, Alpha, Omega, and Beta. The prisoners have their own cells; they have bunks and toilets. Weapons are not permitted. If you are found to have weapons, you will be put into isolation for 24 hours. It's not fun. It's dark. It's quiet. There's no contact with other prisoners in the Iso unit in Omega sector. Deal with it. Prisoners can have various jobs around the ship if they don't have marks against them; they can be repair workers, kitchen workers, if there's a job needing done they can do it if they sign up for job duty.
If you are a guard, you have what's called riot weapons; they have bullets, but they are not exactly deadly. Some of the corrupt guards however do use real bullets, then pin the inmate deaths on the mercs. Mercs have regular weapons and are rarely called upon for duty as guards; they're just along for the ride to Crematoria so they can pick up their pay for the bounties they're bringing in on the ship.
1. No overpowered characters.
2. If you came from Old Earth, you probably have some kind of weird attribute. Weird hair color, eye color, a physical mutation like a tail or feathers. If you come from what's considered an Inhuman Planet, you're probably some kind of weird creature. Reptillian (known as Draconians, more or less as they have a dragon shape when they wish), Avian (same as Reptillian), and the typical odd looking creatures are abundant in the Dead Space zones. Oh yeah, forgot to mention: Avoid Dead Space like the plague or you'll be nabbed by a merc ship. Not fun.
3. You may have one 'natural' ability (which will be outlined below the rules) and/or one physical augmentation of some sort.
4. If you are not an experienced RPer, you can't join. End. I reserve the right to disallow you to join.
5. In your opening post, detail part of your history; if you are a prisoner, do a paragraph or so about your capture. If you're a guard or merc, do a paragraph or two about your daily life on the ship. You get the point.
6. Follow RPG rules.
7. I don't want everybody to be making a bounty or a guard. Seriously. We need an even-ish ratio here.
8. Women get no respect. They have to earn it. Doesn't matter if they are bounty or guard or merc, they have to have earned their respect somehow and believe me, they aren't going to get it doing sexual favors. Which brings me to rule number
9. Some of the mercs and inmates and guards are less than friendly to women. Keep that in mind. Women and men have fairly equal fighting ability, especially if they're in the prison or merc businesses, so they can very well protect themselves if necessary.
10. Fights happen. Yep. They do. Riots are especially fun. No auto hitting, period, unless it's a designated NPC that needs a slapping around.
11. Only humans and mutated humans have odd kids. If a Draconian/Avian has a kid with a human or a mutie, the kid is either mutie human or regular human or Draconian/Avian. There are no crossbreeds. Same with Draconian and Avian couples; their kids are either one or the other. Draconians have scales in their human forms, but not a lot, just around the eyes and on the back of the hands and bottoms of the feet; they look like dragons in their true forms. Avians tend to have feathered arms in their human forms, but many of them who spend more time in human form can make their wings disappear; their true forms are large birds of various types. Furyans are extinct except for Ridd'ck, so Eyeshine is just a mentioned augmentation.
12. I realize this list is long, if you've read this far then you can stop now. Again, no overpowering your characters, no Mary Sues/Gary Stus.
Natural abilities:
Flight (Avian, Draconian)
Telepathy (Mutated humans, Draconians, Avians)
Telekinesis (Very rare, only in mutated humans)
Longevity (Mistaken for immortality; Draconians, Avians, and some mutated humans, they just live a really long time. Like, a LONG time.)
Night vision (Draconians, mutated humans)
Surgical augmentations: (These apply to all races unless otherwise stated)
"Eyeshine" (Has never been accomplished, almost all who try have gone blind or died of eye infections, so it's now illegal.)
Hydraulic (Run and jump faster and higher)
Cyborg (Implants in the brain and body, make you faster and you can mentally log into computers but you're susceptible to hacking.)
Prosthetic (Basically a replaced limb or two. These are very advanced, but the hand and arm ones still aren't perfect yet.)
I stare at the girl in the mirror: T-shirt, torn up jeans, no beauty queen.
But the way that you see me, you get underneath me, and all my defenses just fall away, fall away.
I am beautiful with you, even in the darkest part of me. I am beautiful with you;
Make it feel the way it's supposed to be!

I'm currently using an NN 3 with a Pentax K-5/Rokinon fisheye. I have the adjustments dialed in now to the point that getting good nadir stitch is usually not a problem. However, living in a large Japanese city, I usually head out to take panoramas on foot or on bicycle so keeping my setup as small and compact as possible is highly desirable.
For those of you who have used both the standard type pano heads and the ring-style, are you able to stitch your apex and nadir shots as precisely as you could with the standard NN3/4/5? Assuming you not changing lenses, are the R1/10s a compromise? Is it more difficult or easier to achieve equivalent results?

6 Things Movies Love to Get Wrong About The Workplace
Hollywood loves to make movies about businesses, because that's where all the peasants in their audience work. But writers and directors aren't exactly corporate experts and often don't even know what an average office job is like.
That's why they've come up with these weird misunderstandings of how companies work.
#6. Owning 51 Percent of a Company's Stock Makes You Supreme Ruler
The Myth:
Countless plot points have turned on the "51 percent rule," where if you own 51 percent of a company's stock, you are the supreme ruler of the company and can do anything you want. The villain in Mr. Deeds had the power to sell the company because he controlled 51 percent of the shares, even though the owners of the other 49 percent were unanimously against it.
Here he is spelling it out in case you weren't following.
Tons of other movies, ranging from The Secret of My Success to Richie Rich, have been based off of pivotal 51 percent moments, where the villain could only stare dumbfounded as the hero was discovered to have 51 percent ownership. Despite paying millions of dollars for the other 49 percent of shares, the other stockholders apparently have zero say in any business decisions and probably would have to bark like a dog if the 51 percent king ordered them to.
"Nyaah! I own 51 percent! Mush!"
The Problem:
The truth is that most corporations require a two-thirds majority vote and are actually legally bound by some state laws to do so for big decisions (like whether to sell the company). Which makes sense. Is it really a good idea to give your company a self-destruct button that can be activated when almost half the shareholders don't want that at all?
Even if the company doesn't require a two-thirds vote for a decision as big as basically killing itself, there are laws to protect minority shareholders from "oppression" (that's the legal term) by the majority, which kick in during a number of different circumstances, like if the majority owner is doing something that makes no business sense for the corporation and only benefits himself. If the majority tramples these rights, minority owners have the right to sue their pants off.
Also a legal term, referring to suing someone for so much money they can no longer afford pants.
A legitimate case can be made that the owners of the 51 percent in these movies, both villains AND heroes, make some decisions an outsider could consider questionable (Richie Rich spontaneously appoints a team of street urchins as his R&D team), which the minority owners could use to at least start a lawsuit and cause some serious headaches for the "supreme ruler."
Sure, maybe the most dramatic choice for Mr. Deeds' climax was for the girlfriend to appear out of nowhere and discover a secret heir, but it could equally have ended with the bad guy going down in a storm of lawsuits from what appear to be a couple hundred people.
#5. Firings Are Often Spontaneous and Dramatic
The Myth:
There's no boardroom scene Hollywood loves more than the dramatic, unexpected firing. In Batman Begins, a corrupt executive fires Lucius Fox with the quip, "Didn't you get the memo?" a line which Fox himself cleverly uses to counter-fire the corrupt executive at the end.
It's probably at least somewhat reassuring to be fired by the soothing voice of nature documentaries.
And there's plenty of surprise firings with a twist -- like this one in Entourage -- where the firer uses some kind of clever gimmick or catchphrase. We mentioned Mr. Deeds above for the 51 percent rule, but the climax of that movie also involves firing almost the entire board. And of course, look no further than Robocop for one of the most extreme firing scenes in movie history.
We're just saying, if The Celebrity Apprentice ever wants to boost ratings, they have their blue print.
The Problem:
Both the spontaneous firing scene and "51 percent rule" are based on the notion that the "boss" at a company can do whatever he or she wants. If a CEO fired someone so definitively in a real boardroom, he'd probably end up asphyxiating on all the red tape he'd be tangled in.
HR departments have extensive bureaucratic guidelines for how to fire someone and are so paranoid about building a paper trail of documentation that the process of firing someone usually takes weeks. They're justified in their paranoia, since there are a number of laws that allow at-will employees to fight wrongful termination for various reasons. Most employees, especially at the top, actually have detailed contracts to protect themselves in case of a firing.
That's why HP's CEO Mark Hurd got about $40 million as a reward after being fired for sexual impropriety and fudging expense reports -- because it was in his contract. Mercedes booted exec Ernst Lieb for billing his home improvements and vacations to the company's account, but couldn't even get him out of the company, because of the paperwork and legal nightmare that firing an executive usually involves. The payoffs are called "golden parachutes" because you now have enough money to equip your fleet of golden leer jets with the appropriate safety equipment
Actual photograph.
If they'd dumped him, they might have a lawsuit on their hands, like the ones filed by this fired casino CEO or the fired CEO of U.S.A. Track and Field. And what's at stake if the company loses? Well, when Renault fired three execs accused of corporate spying, the company's COO and six other people involved with firing them lost their jobs for improperly firing the first three guys.
So while Morgan Freeman's comeback was certainly snappy, actual executive would gladly go through the tedium of filling out HR forms and letting the bureaucracy slowly grind out the termination process, instead of seizing the opportunity for a clever spontaneous firing. Despite what their name would have you believe, firings are best served cold.
#4. You Wear Either a Suit or a Uniform
The Myth:
Not only does Hollywood have a baffling idea of how most people work, they also seem to have a disproportionate idea of what most workers wear. There's plenty of high-ranking characters wearing suits: Wall Street's Gordon Gekko, American Psycho's Patrick Bateman, Bruce Wayne, whatever Richard Gere's character was named in Pretty Woman, the list goes on.
Apparently his name was Edward. An obvious Twilight rip-off.
Meanwhile, blue-collar workers wear uniforms even if they manage the plant. Office peons get to wear a tie just like the boss, but they must have their forearms exposed for at least part of the workday for some reason.
Everyone who works for a "company" has to wear something restrictive. If anyone goes to work in shorts or jeans, they're a surfer, an artist, an off duty or undercover cop or a stunted man-child hacker.
Mix and match two casually dressed professions and your job is done: The Point Break law of screenwriting.
The Problem:
In real life, 55 percent of workers report that their workplace has no dress code, and tech companies in particular commonly have workers of all ages wandering in at 10 or 11 a.m. wearing shorts and sandals. Not little quirky companies, but giants like Cisco, Google and Microsoft.
Microsoft workers on the company bus going to their office near Seattle. No suits, but you may be required to wear flannel once a week.
Companies have even started hopping on board a trend where they encourage their employees to wear shorts in order to save money on office air conditioning in this economic crunch.
Yet you would probably be hard-pressed to name a movie where a well-adjusted 9-to-5 worker and father of two shows up to the office in a T-shirt.

Oliver Stone
As Himself (Host)
| EvoQ
Reviews: 6
Every American should watch this program. Those that doubt it;s authenticity are just slaves to a Political agenda. Oliver Stone pulls no punches when it comes to Historical accounts of Events in History. He takes No Side, and challenges the status quot at every turn. America is the Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth, but our government is Highly Flawed, and if you don't believe that then you are living in a fantasy land. time and time again our Government has lied and outright mislead the Citizenry. From purposely giving Syphilis to Tuskeegee Army Soldiers, To the Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction of George W. Bush, to Barack Obama's insidious Drone Bomb Campaigns. The American Government flaunts it nose at our Constitution and we the people sit idly by an watch it happen. One of the reason's why American are so complacent is because we are taught in early education a Flawed and Dishonest account of American History. Oliver Stone makes Enemies and to him that is the best form of flattery ! Watch This Program and Make your children watch it too, you will learn and be better equipped to make decisions about our Government come election day. Thanks Mr. Oliver Stone keep up the Great Work.

How wonderful. Another supposed historian rewriting the history of America, trying to show America in a less than favorable light. His documentary (?) is complete with movie clips masquerading as historical footage and actors reciting supposed comments of the historical figures of the time. It jumps back and forth from one administration to another, with little continuity. All in all, a second rate conspiracy theory of why America is a villain in the world and therefore justifiably hated. Drama - yes, documentary, educational, history - no!!! Stone should stick to make-believe movies and leave history alone, unless, of course, he's run out of original ideas. Read more

After reading this article, I'm properly paranoid that Linux is storing passwords on my disk somewhere that I'm not aware of. As a person with an above average preference for privacy, I don't tend to save anything beyond WEP keys, and it's a little distressing to think that they might be on my disk waiting for someone to just snatch in plaintext.
How much of a concern is this for security in general?
Thanks, Joe

Craftsman 3 Gallon Air Compressor for $74.99 + free shipping
coupon code: SEARS2012
Craftsman 3 Gallon Air Compressor for $74.99 shipped after coupon code SEARS2012.
This tank compressor includes a 6" dual tire chuck, sports inflation needles, tire gauge and adapters, and features an air regulator, oil-level sight glass, automotive-style air filter, rubber feet for stability, and carrying handle.
3 Comments add a comment
I have this unit and I love it for blowing out dust from my computer/ pumping up tires and whatnot.
The CFM that this compressor delivers is fine for inflating tires and brad nailing, but if you're going to be using impact hammers or other serious air compressor tools, you'll need a bit more power.
CFM Delivery At 40 psi: 3.7 SCFM
CFM Delivery At 90 psi: 2.4 SCFM
Could a compressor like this be used for say an air brush? Like one used for t-shirts or model painting.

Game includes a 48" x 24" durable playing surface complete with Buccaneers
end zones, scoreboard graphics, and authentic field markings.
Accessories for this game are:
Collect all the teams! Choose from 49ers, Bears, Bengals, Bills, Broncos, Browns,
Buccaneers, Candinals, Chargers, Chiefs, Colts, Cowboys, Dolphins, Eagles, Falcons,
Giants, Jaguars, Jets, Lions, Packers, Panthers, Patrots, Raiders, Rams, Ravens,
Redskins, Saints, Seahawks, Steelers, Texans, Titans, or Vikings. Or create
your own team with a generic layout.
We've all played the game before. The football is a folded sheet of paper in
the shape of a triangle. The filed is a table top. And, the goal is to score
a touchdown by flicking the "football" across the table until a part
of it hangs over the edge. By the way, you still have to make a goal post with
your fingers. Have fun!

There are a ton of great free 2 play games out on the market now, so it's easier than ever to play with others. So what do you think of doing nightly F2P game nights? We have Team Fortress 2sdays now, which does great.
All these games are F2P: Super MNC, League of Legends, Hawken, Blacklight: Retribution, DOTA 2, Tribes: Ascend. What else? Plus, we can get these games streaming over on Streamtoid if there was anyone willing to stream, or even shoutcast. Eventually I'm hoping this will all lead into a bigger idea I have with tournaments, but first things first.

Growing Sunflowers
- Sunflower seeds
- Compost tea
- Compost
- Stakes (optional)
- Have your child plant sunflower seeds early in the growing season, after all danger of frost has passed, about one inch deep and three feet apart.
- If you're planting sunflowers in a garden, plant them where they won't shade shorter plants.
- Water the plants regularly with water and every three weeks with compost tea.
- When seedlings appear, put compost around the base of each plant, making sure the compost doesn't touch the stem.
- Taller plants may need stakes for support.

The Original Broadway Cast Recording of "American Idiot" will be released on vinyl July 13th. Pre-order it: HERE.
Nobody appreciates righteousness like John Robb. After seeing Green Day live at Manchester's Old Trafford stadium, he explains why they're still so thrilling - and the ultimate small town band
In a blur of powerful anthemic songs, a stunning LED backdrop, hardcore rushes, massive ballads, serious commentary and daft stunts, Green Day arrive at the sold out 30,000 plus capacity Old Trafford cricket ground on a balmy Mancunian evening. It's a show of strength that seems to be beyond the mainstream media sense of belief.
Their stunning show, almost two hours long, is 21st century rock &
'Green Day: Rock Band' got it right
New 'Green Day' game has no filler songs — are you listening, 'Guitar Hero'?
Green Day: Rock Band is exactly what a band- specific music game should be.
It comes as no surprise that the minds at Harmonix and MTV Games succeeded, given their terrific work on The Beatles: Rock Band.
The Guitar Hero franchise should take note, because Green Day fans got what Van Halen fans wanted with Guitar Hero: Van Halen. And what would that be? Their favorite band.
It sounds simple.
When It¹s Time, the brand new single from Green Day is available to buy now
in the UK. The single is taken from the Original Cast recording from the
Green Day musical, which is currently treading the boards of Broadway.
Remember if you¹re in the UK, you can catch the band live this Saturday, at
Wembley Stadium, where support comes from Joan Jett and Frank Turner.see
you down the front!

- Where can people find more information about whooping cough (pertussis)?
How long does whooping cough last?
It can take up to three weeks after exposure to develop symptoms, although symptoms usually develop within five to 10 days after infection. The paroxysmal stage, characterized by the coughing fits, usually lasts from one to six weeks but can last for up to 10 weeks. The third and final stage (convalescent stage) lasts about two to three weeks.
What does whooping cough sound like?
As mentioned above, the characteristic cough of pertussis occurs in the second or paroxysmal stage of the illness. There is a series or burst of rapid coughs. At the end of these coughs, a long inspiratory effort (breathing in) is usually accompanied by a high-pitched whoop sound for which the disease is named.
How is whooping cough transmitted?
Whooping cough is highly contagious and is spread among people by direct contact with fluids from the nose or mouth of infected people. People contaminate their hands with respiratory secretions from an infected person and then touch their own mouth or nose. In addition, small bacteria-containing droplets of mucus from the nose or lungs enter the air during coughing or sneezing. People can become infected by breathing in these drops.
Can adults get whooping cough?
Although whooping cough is considered to be an illness of childhood, adults may also develop the disease even if they were vaccinated as children. Because immunity from the pertussis vaccine decreases over time but does not necessarily disappear, adults who do become infected may have retained a partial degree of immunity against the infection that results in a milder illness. Although the illness usually is milder in adults than in children, the duration of the paroxysmal cough lasts just as long as in children. The characteristic whoop that occurs after paroxysmal bouts of coughing is recognized in only 20%-40% of adults with whooping cough.
Whooping cough in adults is more common than usually appreciated, accounting for up to 7% of adult illnesses that cause coughing each year. Infected adults are a reservoir (source) of infection for children, so it is particularly important that all family members and caregivers of young infants be properly vaccinated.
How is whooping cough diagnosed?
When a patient has the typical symptoms of whooping cough, the diagnosis can be made from the clinical history. However, the disease and its symptoms, including its severity, can vary among affected individuals. In cases in which the diagnosis is not certain or a doctor wants to confirm the diagnosis, laboratory tests can be carried out. Culture of the bacterium Bordetella pertussis from nasal secretions can establish the diagnosis. Another test that has been used to successfully identify the bacterium and diagnose whooping cough is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that can identify genetic material from the bacterium in nasal secretions.

chopped the zucchini instead of grating it and used less enchilada sauce than recipe called for. loved it. not at all mushy.
Anonymous, park city, UT
From EatingWell: June/July 2006
Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.
chopped the zucchini instead of grating it and used less enchilada sauce than recipe called for. loved it. not at all mushy.
Anonymous, park city, UT
Man, that was soggy. Good flavor, but I'd suggest adding a coupld handlfuls of crushed tortilla chips in the layers (under the enchelada sauce) to firm it up, then a layer on top after cooking to add the crunchy texture.
I agree with the other comments. My whole family loved this (even the picky ones) and didn't even miss the meat! I did add 1/2 teaspoon corriander and 1/8 teaspoon ancho chile powder with the cumin for just a little extra kick. Will definitely make it again!
We make Chilaquiles casserole. Whenever my husband craves chilaquiles, he requests this dish. I usually make half of it with ground turkey and the other half vegetarian for me. I like this recipe because it is also easy. I often make it ahead of time when I know I am going to be having a late night.
I've made this several times, my husband loves it! I add browned, ground turkey with taco seasoning and make this our meal! I've grated the zucchini but have found that I prefer it sliced in half circles, adds a little more texture.

Dr. Cliff Karnes updated the NCOE Board of Education on the progress being made in the high school auditorium project during the July 16 meeting . The flooring has been removed and the asbestos abated. The walls will be painted in the next couple of days, and the new floor should be in place next week.
Karnes has also been talking to the Foundation about having the track resurfaced. One and a half inches of asphalt will be put on the existing track Hopefully this project can be completed prior to the beginning of school. The Foundation will be providing funds for this through community donations.
The administrator and Board discussed various projects they see a need for in the coming years. HVAC units have proven more energy efficient with better air flow. These units are presently in the high school, and Karnes would like to see them installed at Booth and NCO. Also, with more technology and cabling, the need for improved electrical systems follow. Security is another area that can be enhanced in all the buildings as well as a roof at Booth and some lighting upgrades will be needed in the upcoming years.
Fees for the coming year were also discussed. The Board decided to keep book rental fess the same as last year, which is $35 for Kindergarten through eighth grade and $40 for high school students. The entry fees for athletic events will also remain the same.
The cafeteria prices will be $2.25 for lunch and 60 cents for breakfast at Booth and NCO. Lunch prices at the high school will be $2.50.
The Board employed Courtney Vinyard for half-day Special Education at Booth and half-day at NCO. Ashley Westfall was employed as the NCO Jr. High science teacher. The Board also accepted the retirement letter from Brenda Mayberry. The aides who were released in March will be called back as needs arise.
Board meeting dates were set for the 2014-2015 year. Dates are August 13; September 17; October 15; November 19; December 17; January 21, 2015; February 18; March 18; April 15; May 13; and June 17. All meeting at scheduled for Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Superintendent's office.

I'm not stupid enough to think that eRep is anything near RL, other than that both have incompetent leaders and pointless wars for the sake of glory. ...Actually, it's remarkably similar, in a sense.

When an employee is fired or let go, it is critical to disable their accounts and access to resources immediately. How do you handle this at your organization?
HR should coordinate with IT before the employee is actually terminated. This way, IT can remove access before the action takes place. This is important because it prevents the employee from deleting or removing data that they either a) didn't want the company to see or b) wanted to delete to harm the company (via time loss, research loss, record loss, etc) in some way.
It is also important to have IT not remove any data, for similar reasons as with b). Companies often need to go back and retrieve the data of prior employees for legal reasons in addition to business continuity reasons. IT should only grant access to this data to people approved by HR.
First: Make it your process to tell I/T before you tell the employee that they have been terminated. Have them taken out before they know they're fired.
Second: Keep careful, detailed records of all systems that the user has access to, and remove them in order of priority. Make sure the people in I/T understand whose responsibility it is to remove each piece of access.
Third: In the event of an "off the cuff" firing, detail someone to keep an eye on the employee until I/T finishes removing their privileges.
Assuming you aren't firing them for fraud or anything.
Before you start a policy of putting black bags over their head, and dragging them kicking and screaming from the building - consider what future interaction you are going to have with them.
You simply implement the pre-arranged procedure.
i.e. the most important thing is that you've already got a plan and not just scrabbling around doing what comes to mind at the time. If you have months to think about and develop a plan it'll be so much better than if you think about it off the cuff.
Oh and for what it's worth I'd say worry more about physical things (keys, building access, user storage, copies of media) than locking out electronically - most malicious data loss comes in these ways than via purely electronic ways.
As a side note, it's a much more lengthy and immediate issue if it's an I.T. person that you have to let go, given the amount of admin access they may have to everything.
This is more of a procedural question than a technical one. Basically, you need to have a provisioning process and a de-provisioning process. People tend to forget about de-provisioning.
That process might be as simple as "call so and so and create accounts" or may involve opening help desk tickets or may be done by an enterprise application. That isn't really relevant -- what is relevant is that you need to handle this stuff consistently and have a pre-arranged plan.
We have a few user identity stores and a delegated admin model. Essentially, a designated rep in each business unit can access the provisioning system and setup user accounts. A ticket is opened with IT support to assign/deassign PCs, and a ticket with another organization takes care of ID/building/parking access cards.
What happens to data depends on the organization. Places that get sued often tend to purge first, ask questions later. Other places vary widely. I've worked in some places that purged everything, other places that kept critical data in the home directory of an engineer who left 5 years earlier.
I think the best practice is to "impound" the PC and home directory data for a few weeks, then delete everything unless there is a good reason not to.
Every system needs a system owner who's responsible for this. They could delegate tasks like this to that system's administrator but it's the owners task to initiate change hence the owner should know if to prioritize access removal and so on. Depending on the size, the CSO or whatever the english title for the information security officer is should coordinate and/or request specific routines to follow when this happens.
Have a manual routine/policy to begin with if the ownerships aren't clear enough and then start automating the parts that seem costly or generally problematic.
Going the whole way there are identity life-cycle systems to look for as well to help in managing this.

Is there an elegant way of hiding/collapsing/folding only a portion of a function? If functions could span multiple cells, this would have been straight-forward!
The Mathematica Front End does not have this feature. Wolfram Workbench does though.
However, it is possible to collapse cell groups in notebooks by double clicking their brackets. This is useful.
For navigating functions, the Ctrl+. key combination (extend selection) is extremely useful.
Also, for ease of use when working with sections etc., activate the "Show open/close icon for cell groups" checkbox under Edit->Preferences. This adds a toggle chevron on the left side.
The frontend encourages/enforces you to break long code passages into smaller parts, which is not always a bad idea, especially for testing and debugging (although debugging in Mathematica is something of a sore point when you are used to other systems). Still, a solution for in-cell partitioning would be nice-to-have.
There is also some option to format sections so that a click on their content toggles open/close instead of just the tiny triangle, but I can´t remember at the moment how that worked. Perhaps someone will chip in here.
I have been toying with this feature as a part of some set of tools I have been working on (the code formatter in particular). The recent question prompted me to post a small illustration here. This is more to show how things might work than a complete solution, though.
I prefer to work with the code formatter, but you don't have to, if you don't feel like it:
Here are some functions we will need:
In what follows, I will use
So, now, I take some random piece of code from one of my recent posts:
I deliberately did not format the function. Now, the result looks like
When you click on the opener, the result looks like
First, it should be clear that the resulting cell is not supposed to be evaluatable. One can probably make it evaluatable in at least two ways: either by using
Next, the implementation above is just the proof of concept, nothing more. I am working on a more systematic and powerful version of this as a part of some larger set of tools on which I work (as a side project). So, hopefully, some time soon I will be able to say more.
One deeper reason why I connect this with the code formatter is that the pattern-matching based on boxes is fragile, so the proper way of doing this is via matching to the symbolic intermediate representation created by the formatter. Such functionality I call formatting annotations, and I do plan to include a general support for such annotations in the next versions of the formatter.
Finally, it may well be that this way of doing things is fundamentally flawed for reasons known to more knowledgable people than myself, since I am by far not an expert in FrontEnd.

Asian American Studies
Asian American Studies department offers courses at two campuses and
serves over 1900 students.
Asian American Studies working with students has organized programs on: Asian American community leaders and political participation, media stereotypes of Asian Americans, growing up in early Chinatown, Angel Island Immigration and Detention Center, early Asian American Women, the strike of Chinese Garment Workers, the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.
These programs are produced inexpensively and draw large crowds consisting of both faculty and community. Because students introduce the speakers, handle Q&A sessions, and are extensively involved in the overall production, the experience hones their organizational, public-speaking and leadership skills. It is a unique educational opportunity.
Our Faculty
