Disney buys Pixar for $7.4bn
Steve Jobs, Apple founder and CEO is to become one of the most powerful men in Hollywood following Walt Disney's agreement to buy Pixar, the company behind animated hits such as Toy Story and Monsters Inc for $7.4bn.
In a statement on Pixar's website the company said: "Under terms of the agreement, 2.3 Disney shares will be issued for each Pixar share. Based on Pixar's fully diluted shares outstanding, the transaction value is $7.4 billion ($6.3 billion net of Pixar's cash of just over $1 billion)".
The all-share deal will see Pixar chief executive Steve Jobs join Disney's board of directors.
"Disney and Pixar can now collaborate without the barriers that come from two different companies with two different sets of shareholders", said Jobs. "Now, everyone can focus on what is most important, creating innovative stories, characters and films that delight millions of people around the world."
Mr Jobs, who is also the boss of Apple Computer, controls more than half of Pixar's stock and its expected to have a strong voice on the board.
With the ink probably not even dry on the deal, the Apple iTunes store in America has already added certain Disney Short films to its video catalogue.
The shorts will cost $1.99 and amongst the offerings you can find The Three Little Pigs, The Ugly Duckling, and Ferdinand the Bull. There are currently 10 available on the iTMS.
Disney first entered into a feature film agreement with Pixar in 1991, resulting in the release of Toy Story in November 1995.

The beefed up Defense Information Systems Agency's telework program may be the key to retaining the more than 4,700 employees from Northern Virginia who will relocate to the agency's new Ft. Meade, Md. home this summer, about 32 miles away, according to Government Executive.
The agency created a telework SWAT team to ensure all new computers are telework compatible and introduced a telework center in Woodbridge Va. for people who need to work on a classified network, the article states.
Under the telework program, employees can increase teleworking from one day per pay period to up to three days per week if approved by a supervisor, and DISA will pay half of the teleworker's Internet bill.

The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.
Despite GSA's efforts to accelerate the FedRAMP approval process, the lack of agency reciprocity puts the program's central goals at risk.
Got some early-career colleagues who are doing great things in federal IT? Nominate them for FCW's 2016 Rising Star awards.
The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Agencies have spent almost $23 billion on legacy IT over the past three years, according to reports to Congress. Is a revolving fund the answer?
The United Kingdom will go live with its governmentwide digital identity platform, GOV.UK Verify, in the coming days. The U.S. government will need a little more time.
What contracting officer representatives really think is needed to fix contract management.
There is no expanded telework program, managers are trying to break the current agreements with employees now. They promised the world and are giving you nothing. The only thing saving me is being able to ride the bus to work.
I don't understand why their internet connection would be partially reimbursed by the govt. It's not like the employees wouldn't already have an internet connection that they are paying a flat rate. What's next, paying for part of their electricity, or reimbursing them for the water that they drink at their home while teleworking? Our agency doesn't reimburse for an internet connection, and I don't think any of the other agencies should either.
It is nice that DISA is taking care of those Federal workers who wil be inconvenienced by the long commute. But my sympathy is short and thin. I have to telework nights, weekends, holidays, whenever a Fed gets a bug up their ... and I have to use my own equipment and my own internet connection.

The carafate yuwan. over the counter sucralfate can i purchase same clerk always waited on me and in time she would greet me by name and automatically retrieve my prescriptions when she saw me walking toward the counter. I noticed many similarities between the two stores, yet simultaneously, I also noticed many differences. A pharmacy, whether positioned in a retail environment or create exclusively to offer supplies carafate yuwan. over the counter sucralfate can i purchase to some medical facility, has got to follow certain rules. If you will not be about the phone in the doctor's office, then don't do it with the pharmacy either. When an individual comes up, they do not want to hear that you just have never got word of their medications.
For example, survival rate on developing CML inside 60s was approximately three to five years but has increased to 90% over the years. An example which will raise a red light is in the event you would see @Brighthub_CH tweeting about weight reduction, then a account has probably been compromised. Two great opportunities to choose from are pharmacist and physician assistant. If you are looking for a good health care insurance company which will provide you with quality healthcare coverage, consider using one from the top 10 medical health insurance companies. Once you see your state board of pharmacy website, appear for exactly where it discusses pharmacy technician conditions.
To that end, PTCB publishes a list with the actual bibliography of publications from where the certification test is created. UW carafate yuwan. over the counter sucralfate can i purchase requires students to transmit an application via Pharm carafate yuwan. over the counter sucralfate can i purchase - CAS and UW School of Pharmacy. Buying medicines coming from a Canadian pharmacy online also helps you get the most effective quality medicines because with the stringent checks which might be in place. Pharmacists are required to supply the normal pharmaceutical needs of service personnel along with their dependents. FDA and legal experts make an effort to keep check about the medicines and shipments for all.
On one other hand, if you are applying to a chain your likelihood is greater. A Pharm - D is not a Ph - D but more akin to an MD or DDS. Reebok is famous for making athletic porducts for guys, women and children. Prices can differ by way of a few dollars or even more depending about the pharmacy chosen. These "physicians" and "nurses" are as phony like a three dollar bill.
Most technicians work 35-45 hours a week in hospitals the ones retail pharmacies that are open twenty-fours a day. It is very important to keep the junk email filter up-to-date allowing Outlook in blocking pharmacy spam on Microsoft Outlook. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) explains that a Bachelor's Degree is required for entry-level work. Therefore, if you're dedicated with this career, you may emphatically bask the career's long-term benefits. Pharmacy reviews on the internet were founded across the perception that people must realize the genuine truth about all web sites where purchasing is required.

Resort World Casino: Wonderful gaming experience
The Resort World Casino is located at the popular tourist resort island of Sentosa. The casino is very popular among Malaysian visitors as it is operated by Genting group from Malaysia. It is certainly one of the largest casinos in Asia occupying more than 15,000 square meters. The casino has lots of interesting table games and slot machines etc. The interior of the casino is certainly wonderfully decorated. In our opinion it is one of the most beautiful casinos in Asia.
Resort World Casino is opened to the public 24 hours a day. No admission fee is charged to the foreigners who must produce valid passport upon entering the casino. Nevertheless Singaporeans have to pay an entrance fee of S$100,00 as the Singapore government does not encourage locals to gamble. Proceeds from entrance fees are used for charity purposes. Foreign visitors especially from Malaysia should take the opportunity to visit other nearby attractions such as the Universal Studio.

Eski Bar
Its a cold bar. Boasting sub-zero weather inside, it is super cooled to create winter in sunny Singapore. They say that if you bring your own jacket you get 10% off your bill, but the waitress had to be reminded because she said that not many people bring their own shtuff. The space is quite small, but I guess that is necessary to keep the temp down.Related to:

The Sanctuary: Live and loud: Cat's Cradle
Cat's Cradle play at Indochine's The Santuary daily sometime from 9pm onwards up 'til midnight. They do some great covers of popular soft rock and adult alternative songs, and the lead singer sometimes sound uncannily like Jon Bon Jovi.
The night-time crowd here varies, being made up of foriegners/tourists and locals (mostly fans of the band). Sometimes they are loud, cheering and whistling at the band, and sometimes totally unresponsive, no one even claps.
This alfresco area is a nice place to relax after a hard day of bargain hunting. Unfortunately, the drinks are rather pricey, with coffee or tea going at about $5, a bottle of Evian at $10 and mocktails or cocktails at about $15 upwards.
The Sanctuary is located next to PhoChine and is part of the Indochine group of 5 outlets in the same location.Add to your Trip Planner
Music Underground: Largest Eurodance club
If eurodance/techno is your cup of tea, this could be your best bet in Singapore. Rest of the clubs that dish out the same fare are dismally small (they can be found along Md Sultan Road) and packed with teenagers to the brim.
Located along the belt of the Orchard Road district, it is easily accessible with a train station (Somerset) next to it with various Night bus services (avail on weekends and eve of PH only) that bring you throughout the island at its doorstep.
For the list of covers and closing times, refer to the website below. Generally it closes latest on Saturdays (4am) with crowd capacity to the max on that day.
Bar top dancing is a common sight and crowd has a good mix of young adults (20+) to the working exec types. A few handfuls of teenagers help to balance out the mix too.
Do give it a try! As of writing, this new premises is only 2 months old (it was shifted from International Building) and the fun factor has increased exponentially!

Night Safari: Take a jungle hike in a concrete jungle
IMHO, this is the best night spot in town. Forget about the clubbing areas in the quay region with the over-priced pubs and restaurants and the touting waiters. Chill out with the animals in the zoo and go for the night show. You might be one of "lucky" guest who finds a 10m long python under your seat.
Dress Code: Been to a sauna? Yes, the night safari is just like that. The dense canopy of trees in the safari will raise the humidity and temperature levels. Do wear cotten tops / shorts and don't forget the insect repellent.

Raffles Hotel Long Bar: Home of the Singapore Sling
The cocktail drink Singapore Sling (of which my friend drank one) was said to have been created here by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon in the Hotel sometime around 1910. The earthy decor of this two-storey bar was inspired by the Malayan plantations of the 1920s. In addition to almost every alcoholic and non-alcoholic concoctions imaginable, the bar also serves traditional pub favourites that are available as a meal or snacks. A really interesting place, with peanut shells left scattered on the floor!

The 1st brewery in Ukraine
The first brewery of Ukraine opened its doors in 1715.
Beer has been brewed in Lviv since immemorial time. The first mention of these breweries dates back to 1425. In the second half of the seventeenth century, County Stanislav Potocki issued a decree, whereby the Jesuit monks, who had settled on his property some time ago, were named owners of a large plot of land. The County also expressed the wish that they should build a brewery on this land so that "the beer would be their own and good-tasting". As a result, the first industrial brewery of Ukraine opened in the Kleparova district in 1715. The quality of the Lviv-brewed beer was strictly controlled by the Jesuit priests, and it quickly gained popularity in the region and in distant countries of Central Europe.

So…Where is the apology from all the people who smeared Wilson?

Absa Reaches Highest Since 2007 on UBS Price Target Raise
Absa Group Ltd., the South African bank controlled by Barclays Plc, rose to the highest since 2007 after UBS AG said the lender was its top pick from the country's four largest banks and raised the price target on the stock.
The shares climbed 1.8 percent to close at 147.50 rand in Johannesburg, the highest since April 2007. UBS raised its price target for the bank to 170 rand from 160 rand.
Absa should increase non-interest revenue 12.1 percent for the 12 months through December 2011, driven by fee and income commission growth, UBS wrote in a report to clients dated yesterday. The bank could increase its payouts to shareholders, with a special dividend expected in the second half of fiscal 2012, according to the report. UBS maintained its "buy" recommendation on the stock.
"Absa looks relatively cheap considering that a special dividend is possible," Stephan Potgieter, a Johannesburg-based analyst at UBS, said in the report. "Standard Bank remains our least preferred stock given continued headwinds in its international operations and a valuation which looks full."
The price target for Standard Bank Group Ltd., South Africa's biggest lender, was raised to 100 rand from 95 rand, with a "sell" recommendation. Standard Bank rose 0.6 percent to 101 rand today.
FirstRand Ltd. was raised to 24.80 rand from 24 rand, with a "buy" rating and Nedbank Group Ltd. was raised to 155 rand from 142 rand, rated at "neutral."
FirstRand climbed 2 percent to 21.77 rand, a record high, and Nedbank advanced 2.4 percent to 151.10 rand, its highest since April.

From the Inside Flap
Provocative and beautifully written, When the Body Says No provides fresh information regarding these and other important issues concerning the effects of stress on health. In lucid, easy-to-follow language, Dr. Gabor Maté summarizes the latest scientific findings about the role that stress and individual emotional makeup play in an array of diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, cancer, and ALS, among others.
Emotions like anger share with our immune system the role of defending our boundaries. When we repress emotions, we may also suppress our immune defenses. In some people, these defenses may go awry, destroying the body rather than protecting it. Dr. Maté explores the reason why, despite a rapidly accumulating body of evidence about the mind-body unity, most physicians continue to treat physical symptoms rather than persons and why we must understand the mind-body link in order to take an active role in our overall health.
When the Body Says No promotes learning and healing. It offers the kind of transformative insight that promotes physical and emotional self-awareness the lack of which, Dr. Maté asserts, is at the root of much of the stress that chronically debilitates health and prepares the ground for disease.
From the Back Cover
"Once thought to be in the domain of genes, our health and behavior have recently been revealed to be controlled by our perception of the environment and our beliefs. Gabor Maté, M.D., skillfully blends recent advances in biomedicine with the personal insights of his patients to provide empowering insight into how deeply developmental experiences shape our health, behavior, attitudes, and relationships. A must-read for health professionals and lay readers seeking awareness of how the mind controls health."
Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., cellular biologist
"The interviewees stories are often touching and haunting. . . . Maté carefully explains the biological mechanisms that are activated when stress and trauma exert a powerful influence on the body, and he backs up his claims with compelling evidence from the field. . . . Both the lay and specialist reader will be grateful for the final chapter, The Seven As of Healing, in which Maté presents an open formula for healing and the prevention of illness from hidden stress."
Quill & Quire
"Medical science searches high and low for the causes of cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and a host of other conditions. Yet it often ignores one of the most pervasive factors leading to illness: the hidden stresses embedded in our daily lives. In this important book, Dr. Gabor Maté combines a passionate examination of his patients life histories with lucid explanations of the science behind mind-body unity. He makes a compelling argument for the importance of understanding stress both in the causation of disease and in the restoration of health."

Long-Run Labor Market Effects of Japanese American Internment during World War II on Working-Age Male Internees
In 1942, all Japanese were evacuated from the West Coast and incarcerated in internment camps. To investigate the long-run economic consequences of this historic episode, I exploit the fact that Hawaiian Japanese were not subject to mass internment. I find that the labor market withdrawal induced by the internment reduced the annual earnings of males by as much as 9%13% 25 years afterward. This is consistent with the predictions of an economic model that equates the labor market withdrawal induced by the internment with a loss of civilian labor market experience or a loss of advantageous job matches.

Travel to other planets is now a reality, and with overpopulation stretching the resources of Earth, the necessity of finding habitable worlds is growing ever more urgent. There's a problem though—because the spaceships are slower than light, any communication between the exploring ships and Earth would take years.
Tom and Pat are identical twin teenagers. As twins they've always been close, so close that it seemed like they could read each other's minds. When they are recruited by the Long Range Foundation, the twins find out that they can, indeed, peer into each other's thoughts. Along with other telepathic duos, they are enlisted to be the human transmitters and receivers that will keep the ships in contact with Earth. But there's a catch: one of the twins has to stay behind—and that one will grow old—while the other explores the depths of space and returns as a young man still.

"One of the superb Heinlein stories that has excitement, urbanity, humanity, rationality, pace, understanding, and is a joy to read." (New York Times)
"Rarely has Heinlein pushed his imagination further…A vivid, stirring experience." (Chicago Tribune)
"He showed us where the future is." (Tom Clancy)
I enjoy mysteries, science fiction, Stephen King, and some fantasy novels. Now and again I like a biography and a bit of history. No romance!
I had read this book back when I was in school and the author was a favorite of mine. I went through the school library hunting all of his books and read each one so it brought back great memories for me to sit and listen to this story again as an adult. I was pleased to find that it has held up very well over the years.
There is a moment in the story where the characters believe they are safe from harm and are enjoying what they consider to be a victory of sorts and thinking about a job well done. They are completely caught off guard by what happens next and for me, that is a defining moment in the story.
My favorite character was Tom. The story centers around his life and his adventures and it is through his eyes that you see everyone else in the story.
There is a moment when you realize that some of what you've thought to be true about the main characters, Tom and Pat, isn't exactly so. For me that is the most emotional part of the story.
Great Science Fiction from a master.
"My First Favorite"
Eons ago when I was a young lad, this was the first Heinlein book I read and it has long been a favorite, even decades later. It doesn't matter than the science it behind the times, it's still a good story and a good adventure. In addition, Barrett Whitner has become one of my favorite Audible narrators and he does an excellent job with this one.
"Just plain great story telling"
Quite possibly. Barrett Whitner sounds perfect as the lead character.
He perfectly captures the personality of the lead character. He could've been almost telling youn a story about himself.
I am always a little leary of reading older sci-fi books. You never know how outdated some of the science may be. But Heinlein, like Asimov and Arthur C. Clark, manages to keep to the story and the characters and not get bogged down in pseudo science that is doomed to be outdated someday.
I'm a Hard SF & Space Opera-loving, alien android from the future. I bring gifts of SciFi eBooks & accessories for your leader's Kindle. Take me to him/her/it.
"Takes one SF idea & dissects it thoroughly"
When one looks past the dated dialogue that identifies this as being authored in 1956, the concepts of time dilation at relativistic speeds has some fantastic possibilities for drama. "Don't look so dang sourpuss," and "Gee, that's swell" are actual lines, but it is almost as if Heinlein anticipates the linguistic drift that would occur in the decades to follow publication when his protagonist, removed from his descendants by decades spent traveling the stars at light speed, encounters difficulties deciphering the euphemisms and vernacular when he speaks to those of the younger generations. The discoveries and marvels encountered on the voyage are really secondary to the human drama of inter-generational strain as lives proceed at two different paces, forcing divided families to adapt.
P.S. Kayser "Aware"
"awesome old Science Fiction"
Great Twin Take-off
The final mission stop when all seemed tranquil, safe, easy and then the monsters struck without remorse or humanity. The struggle among the remaining crew and the possible mutiny that was finally averted brought a bright note as the final solution unfolded.
On the road driving, Barrett Whitener brings the story alive. He adjusted his pacing, offered dramatic pauses, and gave a steadiness to dark moments in the story.
"Sci Fi old school"
Yes, simple and pleasurable old school science fiction. Boy makes good!
Slightly dry but not annoying
Yes, moved along very fast
"If the future is not now, it is pretty soon."
Classic Sci Fi
I do not remember listening to Barrett Whitener before, but his read carried me to the stars with the charactors. It does help to have good material but Whitener brought it to life. His voice fit the book.
I enjoy true sci fi such as this book.
"Too rushed at the end"
The reader was great and I love classic science fiction, so I would recommend this to a friend. I was disappointed that all the plot and character development that seemed so important in the middle of the story line seemed to rush to a finish. It may be a style of that time or the genre at that time, but I wished the strength of the tale and the people in it had kept that momentum till the end. Maybe it's the author's comment on all of us and our lives - we just sort of drizzle out and stop?
"I was disappointed by this audio interpretation."
Robert Heinlein is one of my favorite writers and Time for the Stars was one of my favorite childhood books.
While his reading was competent enough, Barrett Whitener completely missed Heinlein's voice and made Tom sound like a sad sack through the whole book. Heinlein is known for his smart, sassy, self-reliant characters. I kept finding myself repeating lines in my head with the proper inflection. It was distracting and disappointing.
"interesting and enjoyable, but not Heinlein's best"
A boy travels on an interstellar spacecraft, and we "learn" something about the theory of relativity and telepathy...
I like the human story in this, and I like the science lesson for young adults regarding relativity. The novel was supposed to have been targeted at young adults. However, the telepathy stuff reads more like "fantasy" than "sci-fi."
The warnings about overpopulation on Earth are important. It is interesting that Heinlein was informed about this problem in 1956 but now in 2012 most humans have no idea that a problem exists.

Optical pulse propagation in water is experimentally investigated using an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to control the shape of an optical pulse. The transmission efficiency (ratio of output to input optical power) is maximized by searching the combined amplitude and phase space governing an optical pulse shaper. The transmission efficiency of each tested pulse is physically determined by experiment during the course of the optimization. Combining the EA with an experiment in this manner is a powerful means of improving some figure of merit because no analytical or computational model is required–we optimize directly given the physics of the experiment. In addition, the EA is capable of efficiently searching a large parameter space. Here, we demonstrate improved linear optical pulse propagation near 800nm. Our results demonstrate a pulse with a dramatically narrower bandwidth that coincides with a local absorption minimum (near 800 nm) implying that the transmission efficiency is dominated by water's absorption spectrum.
1. Introduction
Interest in optical pulse propagation in water has been renewed due to recent experiments demonstrating two orders of magnitude increased transmission while propagating at near-IR wavelengths [1]. Several groups have subsequently investigated optical pulse propagation in water [2–5], but were not able to repeat the transmission increase in the linear propagation regime. Many groups, however, chose laser parameters that were inconsistent with that of other researchers.
In this paper, we use an optical pulse shaper to mold both the amplitude and phase of optical pulses in the linear propagation regime. In this way, many previous propagation experiments can be replicated by appropriate tuning of our laser parameters – their experimental parameters are potential solutions within our search space. Given such control, we use an evolutionary algorithm to search the space of all possible pulses (within our system's constraints) for those pulse shapes that maximize propagation through our water setup.
The EA requires experimental results for each potential solution that it creates during the optimization process. Thus, we must simply automate the trial-and-error process of the EA by coupling the physical experiment with the algorithm. Once this is accomplished the optimization can be left to run with no human intervention. The EA will generate new potential solutions based on previous solutions, eventually converging to an optimum. We note that EAs have previously been used in combination with optical experiments in molecular electronic population transfer [6], in improving second harmonic generation [7], and in subwavelength control of nano-optical fields [8].
In our experiment we seek to increase the transmission efficiency (ratio of output to input optical power, Pout /Pin) when propagating pulses through a 2.9-m water cell. An optical pulse shaper controls the spectral amplitude and phase in 128 wavelength bins of a spatial light modulator. The 100 possible amplitude values and 120 possible phase values for each wavelength yields a search space of (100 × 120)128 potential solutions! Nevertheless, by experimentally measuring the ratio of input and output optical powers for a given pulse shape, we can use an EA to modify the pulse's amplitude and phase and efficiently search for those parameters that maximize the optical pulse transmission. Although the search space is large, the EA converges (unattended) upon a solution within a few hours.
2. Experiment
The experimental setup consists of a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser, an optical pulse shaper and an optical water cell, as shown in Fig. 1. Absorptive neutral density filters are used to adjust the optical power after the pulse shaper, and this is followed by a spatial filter before the optical water cell. The water cell is constructed of a glass cylinder 8"×14" in dimension and fitted with two 11-mm thick BK-7 end caps both with Ag mirrors and protective SiO coatings. The diameter of one mirror is 6" concentric with the glass window to provide a toroidal clear aperture for the beam's entrance and exit from the water cell. This water cell design allows the optical path length to be varied as a function of input angle into the cell. In these experiments, a 4.6° input angle provides a 287±0.1-cm optical pathlength involving four passes through the water cell (three and four reflections off the front and back mirrors respectively). The cell is filled with 18+MΩ water, achieved through processing with several filters (including charcoal, porous, and reverse osmosis filtration).
Fig. 1
The laser's bandwidth is 60 nm and by using the pulse shaper is capable of producing pulses as short as 12 fs, as measured by BioPhotonic Solution's MIIPS system. The maximum width is set by a combination of spectral amplitude and phase, which are controlled by the spatial light modulator with values of ~1–100 percent in amplitude and ±2π phase per spectral element (~1.6-nm bandwidth). The light transmission efficiency through the water is measured by the ratio of two Ophir PD-300 photodetectors: the first monitors the output of the water cell; the second monitors the input power via a reflection from an ND filter after the pulse shaper.
Our experimental goal is to find the optical pulse that experiences the largest transmission efficiency through the 287-cm water path. Toward this end we define our objective function as the transmission efficiency and seek the input pulse shape that maximizes this function. An EA is useful for such an optimization because we have little knowledge of how the solution space is structured and the existence of local optima in such a space could quickly lead a gradient-based optimizer to a sub-optimal solution. EAs, however, are designed to avoid sub-optimal convergence and are more likely (but not guaranteed) to find the global optimum within a given parameter region. In addition, EAs are direct search optimization routines; that is to say, they require only direct calls to the objective function, in this case, the experiment itself. Conversely, gradient-based methods require derivative information, which is infeasible in this context because numerically calculating the gradient at each step of the algorithm would require, at a minimum, two calls to the objective function for each of the 256 parameters.
Briefly, evolutionary algorithms are a class of optimization procedure that employ a population of randomly generated solutions and principles inspired by Darwinian evolution to efficiently search a parameter space for optimal solutions. The fitness (if maximizing) or cost (if minimizing) of each solution in the population is measured against an objective function and those solutions that best meet the objective are selected to "breed" and pass their characteristics on to the next generation of solutions. Over many generations the population will converge to an optimum solution. The stochastic nature of the search and the presence of many solutions in the population helps the algorithm efficiently search the space while avoiding convergence to locally optimal solutions.
In contrast to genetic algorithms which require binary encoding of solutions, we use differential evolution (DE), a type of evolutionary algorithm designed to work with real-valued vector solutions [9]. The algorithm is easily implemented and can efficiently search non-smooth parameter spaces with many local optima. Each solution is encoded as a vector with 256 phase and amplitude values which control the pulse shaper. A population of 30 solution vectors is randomly initialized and the optical transmission ratio produced by each solution is measured. Once the population is characterized, the next generation of solution vectors is created using the DE algorithm and the process is repeated until the algorithm fails to find improved solutions over many generations (on the order of 200–300 generations). We leave a description of the algorithm to [9] and use their scale factor and crossover constant of F s = 0.9 and CR = 0.5, respectively. The choice of population size is dictated by a trade-off between how long the algorithm will run and whether it will prematurely converge to a local optimum. There are no good theoretical prescriptions for population size but empirical studies suggest populations on the order of 20–50. If faster convergence is desired, populations on the order of 10 will usually lead to acceptable improvement. We find that a population size of 30 is a good compromise between the speed of the search and robustness to premature convergence to local optima. Ultimately, the algorithm is not especially sensitive to perturbations in the crossover constant, scale factor, or population size.
Given these parameters, the experimental system is capable of processing about 100 generations per hour. The laser power is kept low (< 3 mW) to avoid both nonlinear optical processes and thermal lensing. With our 4-mm diameter beam (1/e 2) thermal lensing over this length is noticeable at 10-mW average power and by 50-mW changes the spot size by more than 2 mm after 2.87-m water propagation. The starting spectrum is initiated with random values for the 128 amplitudes and 128 phases and within 60 minutes the evolutionary algorithm achieves a transmitted efficiency 40% greater than with the pulse shaper turned off. Ultimately the solution converges to a transmission efficiency 1.8 times that without pulse shaping.
The experiment was repeated several times on different days, each time producing similar results and converging to a maximum solution within 500–800 generations. The range of maximum fitness values (transmission efficiencies) for our different optimization runs were all within 5% of the best discovered solution. The similarity of the converged spectra from the repeated optimization runs provides evidence that we are near the global optimum, but there is still a possibility that a better solution exists. Absent an analytical proof, however, it is unlikely that any other method short of an exhaustive search could find a better pulse shape.
To help quantify the results, our experiments constrained either (1) amplitude, (2) phase, or (3) neither. In the amplitude-constrained case, the spectral amplitudes of all 128 elements were set to 100%, and the 128 spectral phases were varied by the EA. Similarly, in the phase-constrained case, all 128 spectral phases were set to −6.1 radians and the 128 spectral amplitudes were varied by the EA. In the third case, both amplitude and phase were allowed to vary. Finally, the original and shaped optical pulses were characterized in the time-frequency domain using Mesa Photonic's FROG Scan.
3. Results and discussion
The shaped laser spectra evolve over the first few hundred generations from random spectral amplitudes and phases toward a windowed spectrum near 800 nm. The fitness of a given pulse is the ratio of optical power exiting the water cell to the optical power reference before the water cell (but after the pulse shaper). A typical evolution of fitness as a function of generation for these experiments is shown in Fig. 2, with both the maximum and average fitness of the population plotted for each generation. As the EA converges toward a solution the maximum fitness eventually stops increasing and the population's average fitness approaches the maximum fitness.
Fig. 2
The spectra corresponding to maximum fitness for a few generations are plotted in Fig. 3 to demonstrate the trend for the amplitude shaping occurring as the EA converges towards a solution. Here the initial random spectra evolve into narrow spectral solutions near 800 nm. As a reference, the final spectrum beyond the last generation shows the laser with the pulse shaper disabled (labeled SLMoff in Fig. 3).
Fig. 3
The spectral weights applied to the pulse shaper for the best discovered experimental solution are shown in Fig. 4. In this experiment, the majority of the laser's spectral power is in the 730- to 860-nm region. The EA, however, converges to a solution with a narrower spectral window near 800 nm. The remaining coefficients within the 730- to 860-nm spectral band are set to zero. In the long-wavelength region of the laser's bandwidth (> 860 nm) the spectral weights are random since they are not relevant in maximizing efficiency. However, in the short-wavelength region of the laser's spectrum (< 730 nm), the EA sets the amplitude to maximum. To better understand the spectral amplitude coefficients we need to consider the spectral absorption of water.
Fig. 4
Figure 5 superimposes the spectral absorption coefficient of water [10] over the shaped spectrum of the best discovered solution. There seems to be a few nanometer shift in wavelength between the published absorption minimum of water and the optical spectral shape. This small wavelength shift is probably not significant since it is likely due to temperature differences and wavelength calibration errors. Nevertheless, it is clear that the EA optimizes the pulse amplitude to the local minimum of water's absorption near 800 nm. Observing water's spectral absorption in Fig. 5, the reason becomes more obvious for the short wavelength (< 730 nm) shaping of the spectrum in Fig. 4. At wavelengths < 730 nm water's spectral absorption is less than the local minima near 800 nm. Thus, even though the laser has imperceptible spectral content in this region, the EA still generates a solution that utilizes this energy.
Fig. 5
As for the phase contribution to the pulse, the spectral phase weights appear to mimic the amplitude weights. After running amplitude-constrained and phase-constrained tests, the results demonstrate the same behavior in the phase-constrained tests (i.e., fixed phase with the EA optimizing just the spectral amplitude). The amplitude-constrained tests (i.e., amplitude fixed at 100%, with the EA searching just the spectral phases) show very little change in optical transmission ratio, most of which may be attributed to residual phase/amplitude crosstalk in the pulse shaper.
To further quantify the shaped optical pulses, Mesa Photonic's FROG Scan measures the laser's temporal and spectral characteristics with and without pulse shaping. The results without spectral shaping show the optical pulse has a significant spectral chirp such that the temporal width is almost 5× its transform limit, with a 190-fs temporal width (full width at half maximum). The spectral chirp of the best discovered pulse is similar, but since the bandwidth is drastically reduced the time-bandwidth product is 0.74 with an associated 115-fs temporal width.
A consistent spectral feature is the notch at the short wavelength spectral region, giving the spectra a mitten-like shape. This solution occurs in many different experiments, demonstrating its viability. This spectral notch is a function of the system, which includes the laser, pulse shaper, filters, water, and detectors. While we can easily separate the response from the filters and the detectors, it is more difficult to separate the response of the pulse shaper from that of the water. Further experimentation is required to determine if the spectral notch is due to the pulse shaper or is a narrow spectral feature in the water's absorption.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, an evolutionary algorithm is used in a feedback design within our experiment to optimize the transmission efficiency of a large bandwidth optical pulse when propagating in a water cell. Both the spectral amplitude and phase of the input optical pulse are modified to produce an improved result. The tailored pulse shape evolves to a dramatically narrower bandwidth that coincides with a local minimum (near 800 nm) in water's absorption. Even though the laser has very little spectral power in its short wavelength wings (< 730 nm), the EA favors these in its optimal result, since water's absorption is even lower at these wavelengths than at the local minimum near 800 nm.
In this linear propagation regime the average optical power is < 3 mW, which limits thermal lensing and nonlinear optical phenomena. In this case, the optical phase seems to have little importance in optimizing the transmission efficiency. This is reinforced by tests constraining either the amplitude or phase, and also by analyzing FROG Scan measurements of the optimized optical pulse. There is, however, a small phase dependence which potentially arises from phase/amplitude crosstalk in the pulse shaper. Finally, we observe a spectral notch in our solutions, for which further experimentation is needed to determine if it is specific to our experimental setup or is a narrow spectral feature in the water's absorption.
Our experimental setup employs an evolutionary algorithm to efficiently search a large parameter space of optical pulses centered near 800nm and with 60-nm bandwidth. Repeated optimizations consistently converge to a similar solution. These results offer additional evidence that there is no advantage to using an optical pulse in the linear propagation regime. The solutions imply the transmission efficiency is dominated by the absorption spectrum of the water.
Finally, this experimental setup also demonstrates the consistency and viability of this method for experimental optimization. Direct search optimization techniques (like evolutionary algorithms) can be used to explore many questions of interest when combined with a carefully defined objective function (in our case the transmission efficiency). The EA is blind to whether objective function values come from an experiment or a model. Obtaining objective function values from an experiment conveniently allows for an exploration of both linear and nonlinear regimes. For example, if increased transmission efficiency is the only objective, then extending the current work to improved transmission in the the nonlinear regime could be accomplished simply by increasing the input pulse's power. Future work will explore nonlinear propagation regimes.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
According to the World Health Organization, the year 2020 will see depression become second only to heart disease in terms of the global burden of illness, a sad state of affairs that motivational speaker Shimoff (co-author, Chicken Soup for the Womans Soul) believes can be changed by learning to cultivate "a happiness thats beyond reasons and thats here to stay." Inner happiness, she says, is within reach for anyone who can turn down the volume on their hectic lives and learn the 21 Happiness Habits that Shimoff has cultivated from 100 interviews with "deeply happy" people (including actress Goldie Hawn and author Elizabeth Gilbert). Emphasizing a holistic approach, Shimoff takes into account mind, heart, body and soul in seven chapters that cover three Happiness Habits each, as well as corresponding anecdotes that "define what it means to be Happy for No Reason." The personal stories of happy interviewees prove enlightening, and the princples they support are sound and commonsensical ("Focus on the solution," "Make peace with yourself," "Question your thoughts," "Practice forgiveness"), if not exactly groundbreaking. Exercises and quizzes give readers practical steps toward their goal, such as breathing exercises (Spring Forest Qigong) and writing assignments ("Write a letter to your Higher Power").

Some people think that the best happiness books are written by the positive psychology researchers themselves- because they know the info the best. On the other hand, there are excellent happiness books around written by non-happiness researchers, such as Finding Happiness in a Frustrating World -penned by a physical therapist who began studying happiness after wondering how some of his patients in the hospital could be so happy- despite being so sick or faced with a grave prognosis. Sometimes its nice to get a non-happiness researcher's point of view- to avoid the inherent biases that people have when they discuss and write about their own research. You be the judge- on to the book.
The idea presented is to get the reader to become "Happy for No Reason"- which the book defines as true happiness that isn't dependent on external circumstances. You can then take a questionnaire to see how close you are to being "Happy for No Reason."
So if you're not quite there yet, how does the book intend to get you there?Read more ›

Shimoff writes concisely yet completely in clear, well understood language.
Then, something happens. The moment fades. We are back to just being ourselves. The joy is quickly forgotten. We go back to our mundane lives.
I think we've all wondered what life would be like if we managed to keep that wonderful feeling. We know, of course, that happiness brought on by things or events doesn't last. Still, wouldn't it be great to just be happy for no particular reason, to just be completely at peace.
Happy for No Reason looks at the things in our lives that contract and expand our feelings of happiness. The premise is that when we feel the world is full of possibilities, we are much more at peace. Therefore, in determining what parts of our lives are limiting these feelings, we have a place to start working. A pretty good place to begin.
