Researchers and forecasters have been making weather maps since the mid-19th century to analyse weather patterns and storm systems. Using symbols to represent different meteorological phenomena, weather maps quickly convey a large amount of information all at once. With weather data to refer to, and using the conventional symbols, you can make your own weather map.

Print out an outline map of the area of interest to you. Outline maps can be found online for just about any country or region in the world. Alternatively, trace a map of the desired region. It may be helpful to draw some landmarks onto the map as well, such as cities, mountain ranges or parks.

Find a weather map that depicts the weather for the area you wish to include on your map, or collect the relevant weather data. You might find a current weather map in your local or regional newspaper or on a weather website such as Weather.com.
- 3
Find the warm and cold air masses depicted by coloured lines across the weather map you have found. Draw the symbols for warm or cold fronts onto your map using a line of red semicircles or blue triangles, respectively. Draw occlusion fronts, where a cold front is overtaking a warm front, as purple lines alternating semicircles and triangles. Draw stationary fronts in the places where an air mass is not moving as opposing cold and warm fronts meet. The symbol for a stationary front alternates red semicircles and blue triangles along the line of the front.
- 4
Add high and low pressure areas to your map by writing large red Hs and large blue Ls, respectively, in the centres of the pressure zones.
- 5
Draw in areas of precipitation with short slash-shaped lines for rain and areas of small asterisks for snow.

Sunday Morn...er, Afternoon Classics: Happy Autumn.
Welcome to Autumn. This post went live at 3:44 p.m. CDT, the exact start of the new season (I am a sucker for precision). It seemed somehow wrong to do a Sunday morning post for Autumn when it didn't begin until the afternoon.
As many of you may already know Autumn is my favourite season so I am quite excited to finally be in this season. The weather is starting to chill, the daylight will begin its decline and the leaves have begun their change into a fabulous Autumn fire.
To commemorate this new season we have as today's classical selection "Danza Pastorale" (Autumn) from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"...appropriate no? This piece is played by Julia Fisher as lead violin, she is accompanied by The Academy of St. Martin in The Fields from London. The video, which is quite beautiful, was shot at The National Botanical Gardens of Wales, please enjoy.
Have a Happy Autumn everyone,

An Autumn Fabric Primer.
Perhaps you need a few new pieces for Autumn, perhaps you are looking for a style change and need to put together a new wardrobe for the season or perhaps you already have a full Autumn wardrobe but still find a need for a great new piece or two...or three (however very thin the reason may be, my wife can provide a few choice words about this). No matter the reason you may not know all the appropriate fabrics and patterns that are perfect for this time of year.
Here is a good checklist for all your Autumn clothing needs...or wants.
Beyond clothing, all of these fabrics can very easily be used for the majority of your interior design fabric needs. I have created many a herringbone and houndstooth pillows for my clients. I've also upholstered many a sofa and chair in saxony and shetland tweed, done a few tattersall table skirts and upholstered a gentlemens study in wool flannel.
While this by no means covers the full spectrum of colours or patterns this will certainly get you started. Though not listed here, my favourite Autumn wardrobe fabric is Harris Tweed (expect a post about it next week), my Harris Tweed blazer collection will attest to this...and so will my wife...and so will my very full closet. My second favourite is tartans, which I'll be doing a post about in a couple of weeks. What is your favourite, or new favourite, fabric for the season?

Sunday Morning Classics.
Good morning all. It is a rainy chilly morning here in Chicago, so obviously I love it. Last week you my remember that my Sunday Morning Classic selection for last week was a piece of music that I had first connected with on the show M.A.S.H. (if you don't remember, see it HERE).
For today's selection I've decided to continue with a bit of a theme and choose a piece that was used in one of my favourite movies, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. I fell in love with this movie instantly, how couldn't I? The British Royal Navy, the Napoleonic War, ship to ship battles...and classical music? Forget about it! The movie is based on the the Aubrey-Martin Series by Patrick O'Brian, a series of 20 nautical historical novels, all a fabulous read that I highly recommend.
While there are many to pick from today's selection from that wonderful movie is Mozart's "Violin Concerto No. III in G Major, K 216. Rondo - Allegro" (Rondo means the final movement). The video I found for the piece is quite interesting. The lead violinist is the extremely talented Hilary Hahn but make sure to pay attention to her audience. My absolute favourite part comes at the 3:20 mark. Please enjoy.

Farrow & Ball's New 2013 Colours.
Farrow & Ball was started in the 1930's in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England, by John Farrow and Richard Ball and the paint is still made in their factory in Dorset. The company has worked with the National Trust of Historic Interest and Natural Beauty of the UK, in formulating near to exact matches for the restoration of historic buildings interiors and exteriors. Their paint can be found in many historic houses and museums throughout Europe.
Today many interior designers, yours truly included, have a deep love affair with Farrow & Ball paint. The majority of that love comes from the fact that they have some of the richest colours on Earth. My personal love also comes from the fact that their colours have a real heritage to them.Their paint is water based with high levels of pigment, rich resin binders and a high refractory nature of key ingredients that give their product a signature immersive depth of colour. Let me be the first to tell you that it is almost impossible to match their colours through other companies (as I am sure many many designers, painters and myself have tried). Regretfully our love affair often goes unrequited as it can sometimes be difficult to convince clients that it is worth (and it totally is) spending $100 per gallon on paint. Oh the trials and tribulations of being an interior designer.
But I digress, yesterday the company released their nine new colours for 2013 and they are of course wonderful. Please have a look at their new offerings.
Dimpse No. 277
Wevet No. 273
St. Giles Blue No. 280
Purbeck Stone No. 275
Yellowcake No. 279
Pretty nice right? What is your favourite? Wanna guess what my favourite is? Come on...you know you want to.

Sunday Morning Classics.
Welcome to the second Sunday in September. By the way I tell time that means that it is now exactly two weeks until Autumn...yay!
For this mornings selection we have a piece of music that has been very dear to me for many many years that has a (somewhat) interesting back story. Growing up I was a huge fan of the show M.A.S.H., still am in all honesty. My favourite time in the show was later in the series when Col. Potter arrived but more importantly was the addition of Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III. I'm sure that admission has shocked and surprised many of you ....alright, maybe not...alright, probably not in the slightest little bit at all.
Those of you that know the show know of Winchesters love of classical music, it was one of the things that kept him sane whist the chaos of war swirled around him. In the final episode, the best final episode of all time I might add, he meets a group of Chinese musicians who surrender to him oddly enough. He starts working with the musicians to teach them Mozart's "Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K. 581" (see where I'm going with this?). Ultimately the musicians are sent back in a prisoner exchange but their convoy is attacked and the musicians die, the last one just before he is being brought back to the 4077th. Winchester was the one to see the man and it wounds him deeply finding out that they had all perished. He goes back to his tent and plays the record of the song he was teaching them, only to become angered and destroy the record.
For Winchester the very thing that had been his salvation during the war had suddenly become an extremely bittersweet reminder of it. The lesson I took from this is that anything we hold close can be forever altered in a split second in ways that are quite beyond our control. We should all remember that life is a fluid movement of time and circumstance that can takes us places we never wanted to go, never knew existed and can sometimes never come back from. Embrace those changes, learn from them, find the joy in them no matter how bad they may sometimes seem.
Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K. 581 is an absolutely beautiful piece of music, I hope you enjoy it. This recording is the entire piece in all four movements, even if you just listen to the Allegro (the first 9 minutes 21 seconds) you will not be disappointed.

Downton Cometh!
Anyone who knows me very well knows that I am an absolute thrall of Downton Abbey. If you are as devoted to the show as I, and as deeply in love with it, then you were left utterly stunned at the end of last season. As such, you, like me, have been desperately awaiting so much as the slightest inkling of new information on season 4, a lone still of the Dowager Countess, a five second soundbite....any bloody thing.
This is going to have to hold us for awhile though (at least until the next trailer anyway). Downton won't return to PBS until the 5th of January, 2014. Yes yes I know, just suck it up. We'll get through this together.
Dowager Countess,

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Colon and small intestineColon and small intestineThe small intestine and colon are components of your digestive tract, which processes the foods you eat. The small intestine and colon extract nutrients and water from the foods. What isn't absorbed by the small intestine and colon continues along the digestive tract and is expelled as stool during a bowel movement. Intestinal obstruction is a blockage that keeps food or liquid from passing through your small intestine or large intestine (colon). Causes of intestinal obstruction may include fibrous bands of tissue (adhesions) in the abdomen that form after surgery, an inflamed intestine (Crohn's disease), infected pouches in your intestine (diverticulitis), hernias and colon cancer. Without treatment, the blocked parts of the intestine can die, leading to serious problems. However, with prompt medical care, intestinal obstruction often can be successfully treated.

Cochlear Fine Structure-Implications for Modulation Processing at the Level of the Cochlea
Publication: Research - peer-review › Conference article – Annual report year: 2011
Without internal affiliation
It was proposed that fine structure effects in OAEs or threshold in quiet are a consequence of the active and nonlinear processing at the level of the cochlea. For human listeners it was shown that fine structure affects the detection of sinusoidally amplitude modulated tones (SAM) with low carrier levels [Heise et al. 2009 J Acoust Soc Am 126:2490-2500]. The present study uses a one dimensional nonlinear and active transmission line model of the cochlea to simulate modulation perception and to study the explanations for the psychoacoustical effects given in the literature. The model was already successfully applied to simulate the fine structure of the threshold in quiet including SOAE in fine structure minima. It is investigated to which extent the representation of the modulated stimulus at the level of the cochlea can be used to identify the mechanism underlying differences found in data and to which extent it can be used to account for psychophysical data near threshold.

Anne de Vries
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in German. (March 2015) Click [show] for important translation instructions.
Anne de Vries (May 22, 1904 – November 29, 1964) was a Dutch teacher and author. In the Netherlands he became particularly famous for his novels.
De Vries was born in Assen. He was married to Alida Gerdina van Wermeskerken; the couple had five children. In 1972, de Vries got national recognition when his novel Bartje was made into a television series by Willy van Hemert. Bartje subsequently became the symbol of the Dutch province Drenthe. De Vries died, aged 60, in Zeist.
De Vries wrote regional novels, most famously the coming-of-age novel Bartje and Bartje Seeks Happiness. He also wrote Journey Through the Night, a children's book about World War II published in four volumes (first in 1951, last in 1958). The books on Bartje can be considered Bildungsromans.[1]

Macy's, Sephora partner with Lucky for mobile-optimized ecommerce platform
ByMacy's and Sephora are among Lucky's initial retail partners in the new MyLuckyMag.com ecommerce site, which lets readers buy products featured in the magazine using their iPad, Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet devices.
MyLuckyMag.com will be integrated across all Lucky content and will be optimized for tablets and desktop, with smartphone optimization to come early next year. Lucky magazine has also introduced new digital editions of the magazine for iPad, Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet in which subscribers can purchase the items seen on the pages directly from their devices.
"Interactive print through mobile is a key focus because it enriches content across all platforms and allows for deeper discovery and deeper engagement – a true companion to the magazine," said Maura Randall, Digital Managing Director at Lucky.
"The Lucky user will be able to collect favorite items from any Lucky experience, including print, and recall those items in the store or near the store to help her make her purchasing decision," she said.
Lucky is a shopping and style magazine published by Conde Nast.
Omnichannel readers
Via MyLucky, readers will be able to shop thousands of products from many of the different brands found in the pages of Lucky magazine. Partners participating in MyLucky include Macy's, Sephora, Dior, A/X and Lancome, who will be launching interactive brand boutiques.
American Express is another partner and will be providing special offers to users.
A MyLucky product page.
"Lucky realizes that their readers are omnichannel and, just like a retailer, they need to be able to service their customers on their phones, at home on a tablet and on desktop," said Diane Zoi, vice president of business development for Revel Touch, Los Altos, CA.
"They have also figured out that touch devices offer an opportunity to provide a truly different experience, especially for their magazine, which is all about shopping," she said.
"Lucky has this magazine that has been creating shopping inspiration for years, then readers go off and shop online. They said, why don't we enable commerce here so reader don't have to leave our site and shop right here.
In the branded boutiques, users will be able to search for products by categories and make a purchase.
Shoppable editorial
MyLucky and the digital edition of the magazines use Revel Touch technology to integrate product feeds from brands and retailers directly into editorial content and brand-specific shops. As a result, users see the most current product availability and pricing.
Other retail partners for MyLucky include Net-a-Porter and Saks Fifth Avenue.
The first elements of the MyLucky platform will launch August 17, featuring shoppable editorial, branded shops and a universal shopping cart.
Additionally, MyLucky will inform users when items in their shopping carts go on sale.
On Aug. 31, the platform will be expanded to include an optimized experience for the iPad, Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. Android tablets will be added later.
MyLucky will also be integrated into the soon-to-be launched Lucky Community, which will expand daily features on LuckyMag.com through content created by bloggers.
The ecommerce platform will continue to be expanded throughout the fall to include public and private stickers, integration into social channels and personalized product recommendations.
The new digital edition of Lucky magazine is also available for the iPad, NOOK Tablet, and Kindle Fire, providing readers with access to instantly shoppable products, exclusive deals, behind-the-scenes videos and shopping advice.
"We understand the importance that smartphones play in the shopping process for research, price comparison, discovery, sharing and more," Ms. Randall said.
"We are making a significant investment in the redesign of our Lucky Shopper app to be very keenly focused on addressing those user needs as well as continuing to optimize luckymag.com for our mobile users," she said. "We will also be launching some new surprise functionalities based on our own unique research on the Lucky mobile user."

Hoekom is Quick Locale Switcher gebou?
When I started to become active on BabelZilla in 2005, I soon became aware of how problematic it was for both me as a developer, as well as for the translators to switch their locale in order to test a new translation. That's when I decided to make an add-on to allow quicker switching, initially only intended for the BabelZilla community, but I soon saw that more developers/users could be assisted by this. In the beginning of 2006 I also added switching of your spell checker dictionary, making this an extension for everyone that uses more than 1 language in their Mozilla application.
Wat is volgende vir Quick Locale Switcher?
The next release will at least provide easy access to the Mozilla ftp site where you can install additional language packs from. Perhaps I will also add links to the "normal" language packs and dictionary pages on AMO.
Do you have a good idea for a new feature? Feel free to contact me.

Psychology Achievements
Julie Neiworth, Laurence McKinley Gould Professor of the Natural Sciences and Psychology, published the article "Artificial grammar learning in cotton top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) in varying stimulus contexts" in the Journal of Comparative Psychology, with co-authors Justin London, professor of music and cognitive studies, Michael Flynn, professor of linguistics, and alumni Dee Dee Rupert (2011) and Owen Alldritt (2012). The article is available online March 9, 2017, and will be in print in the May issue of the journal.
Neiworth is awarded NIH NIA grant to study tamarins as a model for Alzheimer's Disease
March 8, 2017Julie Neiworth, Laurence McKinley Gould Professor of the Natural Sciences and Psychology, received a $430,391 grant from the National Institutes of Health for a three-year research project to study the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In her project, Neiworth and undergraduate student researchers will collect cognitive and behavioral data from a troop of cotton-top tamarin monkeys. They hope to distinguish "natural" aging-related declines in learning and thinking from declines due to Alzheimer's-like changes in the brain. In addition to working with up to 50 undergraduate researchers during summers, winter and spring breaks, and the three academic years covered by the grant, Neiworth will track beta amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, two major markers of AD, in monkeys post mortem.
Meerts published an article

Guarraci (Southwestern University) in Current Sexual Health Reports titled "Does Practice Make Perfect? Sexual Experience and Psychomotor Stimulants Influence Female Sexual Motivation Through Medial Preoptic Area Dopamine."

Hillary Clinton began her presidential campaign by promising to do what it takes to rein in Wall Street.
Boosted by Wall Street's toughest critics, U.S. senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic candidate has declared "the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top" and said she would raise bank fees and tighten banking regulations. She has encouraged regulators to break up too-risky banks.
And yet, Wall Street appears unperturbed by the prospect of a Clinton presidency. In fact, the banking industry has supported Clinton with buckets of cash and stocks have sold off on days when the Clinton campaign stumbles. Privately, bankers say that they trust her to remain a pragmatist who will keep the current regulatory regime laid down by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform legislation passed in 2010.
"I don't think Clinton wakes up thinking about Wall Street," one senior banking industry lobbyist said.
There are hints in apparently leaked email discussions among Clinton's campaign staff that bankers are not far off the mark when they count on her to tread lightly.
Pressed during the campaign by progressive Democrats to call for a revival of the Glass-Steagall Act that would require separation of commercial and investment banking, Clinton ultimately refused. She also weighed another progressive favorite – a tax on financial transactions- but instead recommended a far narrower plan to tax only canceled orders by high speed traders.
Ultimately, what bankers most like about Clinton is that she is not Donald Trump.
Many financiers fear her unorthodox Republican rival could disrupt global trade, damage geopolitical relationships and rattle markets, industry analysts and participants say.
"Those are the kind of things that corner offices think about," said Karen Shaw Petrou of Federal Financial Analytics Inc, whose firm advises financial firms about U.S. regulatory policy. "The overriding concern about Trump has dominated people's thinking."
Trump's candidacy has upended traditional political alliances and bankers that usually contribute more to the Republicans have been flinging money at Clinton.
Employees of the 17 largest bank holding companies and their subsidiaries have been sending her $10 for every $1 they contributed to Trump, according to a Reuters analysis. In 2012, the same group contributed twice as much to Republican candidate Mitt Romney as it did to President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
People who work for hedge funds and private equity firms have contributed more than $56 million to Clinton's presidential campaign and the supporting groups that face no legal cap on donations. Trump's campaign and related groups received just $243,000 from donors in the same sector, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.
"It's basically going with the devil you know over the devil you don't," said Brian Gardner, a managing director of New York investment firm Keefe Bruyette & Woods. What also helped, he said, was the familiarity with Hillary and Bill Clinton dating back to the 1990s when her husband was president and ushered in a period of financial deregulation.
"There is a closeness and a comfort level between the titans on Wall Street and the Clintons," he said.
For bankers, the biggest worry is a scenario where Clinton wins and the Democrats take control of the House and the Senate, with progressives such as Warren and Sanders holding sway over everything from new tax laws to appointments of regulators.
Already, Warren has called for immediate dismissal of the Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Jo White. Last year, Warren successfully led a movement to derail Obama's plan to appoint banker Antonio Weiss to the top job at Treasury.
Warren and other progressives will press Clinton to be tough on Wall Street in return for their campaign support.
Clinton "leaned heavily on Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and progressive ideas, when she needed to excite voters," Adam Green with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee said. "Elizabeth Warren has proven she's a very powerful ally to have on your side. And it's well known she's also a formidable opponent to have against you," Green said.
However, recent polls suggest it is unlikely that Democrats will take the House and the future of the Senate is far from certain. Even if the Senate goes Democratic, it is likely to be led by New York Senator Chuck Schumer, a moderate who has represented Wall Street with the industry's backing.
Clinton has said she will propose a "risk fee" on the largest financial firms and tighten up rules which allow banks to circumvent bans on proprietary trading by investing in hedge funds. Like Trump, she has proposed to end the tax break that private equity investors enjoy, termed "carried interest."
Yet such provisions will be probably tied up in a much larger tax initiative that will involve months, if not a year or more, of horse trading in Washington. Ultimately, it could end up overshadowed by other progressive goals, such as infrastructure funding, college affordability, or raising the minimum wage.
Those are the causes that Clinton has prioritized and they are likely to supersede her anti-bank rhetoric, say bankers. One industry trade group representative said: "We're not in her top 10 to take care of."

Better From The Barrel: Hardywood Gingerbread Stout
January 14th, 2013 | 3 Comments | Written by Russ Beck
A few weeks back I made the trip down to Richmond, Virginia to check out Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and their bourbon barrel aged Gingerbread Stout release. It was a bit out of my way, but the thought of a gingerbread stout aged in bourbon barrels carried me through. The line wasn't all that long when I rolled in, and I had my beers (and glasses) within an hour. After which, I pulled off a … Read entire article »

Churchkey's night of Vertical Epics not only featured Stone's yearly special releases all the way back to 2003, it had a few of the offers aged in various barrels as well. Having never had a true barrel aged beer from Stone, I saw this as a unique opportunity to discern whether or not any were better from the barrel! Churchkey had the 07.07.07 Belgian strong pale ale (BSPA) and the 09.09.09 Belgian strong dark ale … Read entire article »

Better from the Barrel: Stillwater Artisanal Ales Folklore
July 10th, 2012 | Add a Comment | Written by Russ Beck
Stillwater Artisanal Ales is an interesting brewer to say the least. They operate under the "gypsy" brewer moniker (of Mikkeller fame) and brew beers at different breweries across the land. They have really cool label art–which you can see in the pictures below or at their website–which follows their modus operandi that I found on their Facebook page: The goal of Stillwater Artisanal is just that, living art. Although packaged within a medium often overlooked for its … Read entire article »

Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head are two breweries that we here at The Beer Circle are familiar with, and you should be too. I went to Churchkey for the second straight night to check out Sierra Nevada's tap-takeover, featuring no less than 55 Sierra Nevada beers on-tap at one time. Slightly overwhelmed, I grabbed a glass of their collaboration with Dogfish Head: Life & Limb (the second running of the beer), and it's bourbon barrel … Read entire article »

Kuhnhenn Brewing Company is not a brewery I can say I was very familiar with until a few months ago when I was offered a few of their beers in a trade.

In this series of posts, our writers will taste a beer and barrel aged version of that same beer to determine which is better.

Better From The Barrel: Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter
February 29th, 2012 | 1 Comment | Written by Russ Beck
Update: This post is being retroactively fitted to run in our column "Better From The Barrel?" The story of how Flying Dog got its start is as strange as the labels that grace their bottles. In 1983, a series of events in the Himalayas involving under prepared hikers, an unfaithful Sherpa, a scared-shitless donkey, and quickly consumed contraband led to the creation of the Flying Dog philosophy. That's right, philosophy. It wasn't until 1990 that beer came into … Read entire article »

In Hama province, the Syrian army's Tiger Forces and its allies have been continuing operations against the joint terrorist forces. Intense clashes are ongoing at the Tell Buzam front. Russian and Syrian warplanes are pounding terrorist units near Ma'an, Souran and Tal Al-Sawwan as a pretext for further offensives by the government forces.
The High Command of the Syrian Arab Army and militant groups started negotiations on allowing the militant groups' members a free passage from the eastern Aleppo pocket. In case of success, the army will set control of Bustan Al-Qasir Neighborhood. Nonetheless, Jabhat al-Nusra and Nour Eddine Al-Zinki, that are main striking forces of the Jaish al-Fatah operation room in Aleppo, refuse to negotiate with the government.
Over 600 militants have handed over their heavy weapons and military equipment to the Syrian army in Damascus countryside. About 200 militants and their families will be evacuated from al-Hamah and Qudsiyah while others will use an opportunity to get a pardon from the government. Then, the government forces will set full control of al-Hamah and Qudsiyah.
The US and Saudi Arabia have agreed to grant free passage to over 9,000 of Islamic State terrorists before the Iraqi city of Mosul is stormed. The jihadists will be redeployed to fight against the government in Syria, the media reported, citing various military and diplomatic sources. This will allow them to carry out operations against the government-controlled cities of Deir Ezzor and Palmyra. Saudi Arabia's General Intelligence Directorate will be the mediator and guarantor of the agreement.
US President Barack Obama has allegedly sanctioned an operation to liberate Mosul, due to take place in October. Redeployment of 9,000 ISIS fighters from Mosul will allow Washington the widely-needed PR success in fight against terrorism in Iraq to balance the de-facto support of terrorist factions, including Al-Qaeda linked Jabhat Al-Nusra, in Syria.
Meanwhile, the first photos, which allegedly depict the Russian heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" on the way to Syria's shores, have appeared in social media outlets. Initial reports suggested that the warship is set to depart to the Syrian coast to take part in the ongoing anti-terrorist operation in the period from October 15 to October 20.

The September Issue is a story of wildly successful, business savvy, talented, creative geniuses many of whom have worked in the fashion industry for nearly 40 years and are still passionately pushing boundaries, working full speed ahead, and plugging away every month to create a new issue of Vogue. Also? Keep their jobs. The stars of the RJ Cutler documentary, Grace Coddington (early on, it's clear she's the beloved lead) and Anna Wintour, along with majority of their supporting characters- Tonne Goodman, Andre Leon Talley, Mario Testino, and others -- all belong to an age bracket that is not immediately associated with the youth obsessed industry. It was refreshing to see a film largely comprised of people over the age of 40, but furthermore, being a member of a younger generation than the ones I was observing in this film, I marveled that no matter how much experience one has, and how high on the proverbial ladder of success one has achieved, everyone must still scramble.
Everyone depicted in this film fiercely believes in the work that they do and must constantly gain approval from those above. We see Virginia Smith at Anna's desk timidly defending her 'pink' trend for the next season. Grace Coddington relentlessly checks the editorial board to see how the beautiful photo spread she created is dwindling down image by image via Anna's decisive 'red pen' as the results from other spreads come in. It's interesting to note that she alone habitually pushes back and questions Anna over her decisions to remove any of her images from the magazine. The regal Tonne Goodman has to own up and defend what, according to Anna, was "not enough clothes" in her Sienna shoot, and then there's Anna herself at her desk dropping her head into her hands as she finds that Mario Testino has no more images to send her; not one that she's seen so far is good enough for a cover. Even the Wintour ice queen, who according to Tom Florio touches every aspect of the fashion industry, has the pressure of the industry at large and Vogue's million plus subscribers pushing her to the perfection she has set as precedent.
There is a common misperception, I think, that if one works long and hard in their youth, the job gets easier. If we plug along in our twenties and thirties, we'll reach some mystical plane of success from which point we glide on a magic carpet up the remaining rungs. The people in this film reveal that if you are passionate about your work and have a drive for learning, exploring, discovering, and pushing the envelope there is never a point where you sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. We are all plugging away on these parallel planes of success, some may be a few rungs above or below but either way we are all fiercely working forward.

The application of a neutron microbeam to the investigation of an internal magnetic microstructure has been demonstrated experimentally. The object of investigation is an amorphous magnetic wire 190 μm in diameter, with the axial and circular magnetic domains formed inside it. A narrow neutron micro beam with a width of 2.6 μm, which is formed by a threelayer film (a planar waveguide) serves as the probe for scanning with a high spatial resolution. The method of investigation is the neutron spin precession upon transmission through the sample.
