network administrator but I am not sure on how to go about it. I have some MCSE books that I am going to study but any other advice would be great.
First, let me congratulate you on your decision to pursue a career in information technology.
The most marketable IT professionals possess a combination of extensive hands-on experience, technical expertise (acquired through college coursework and technical certifications, etc.) and well-developed "soft" skills such as written and verbal communication abilities. It's not going to be a quick process but you'll need to start developing each of these aspects for success in your new career.
Look to technical schools for immediate access to a broad area of expertise such as networking, web development or technical support. Four-year degrees through a university or college will provide you with a well-rounded technical education if you have the time and resources to commit. Once you are ready to specialize in a specific technology, enrolling in a technical certification program can provide you with the advanced skills you will need to further your career.
While pursuing your education, you can begin the process of developing some on-the-job experience. Consider volunteering for a local non-profit organization or seeking an entry-level position in a help desk or end-user support role where you will be able to work hands-on with a variety of technologies. To keep pace with the fast-moving IT industry, make sure you regularly read technology publications such as Computerworld, NetworkWorld, eWeek and InfoWorld, as well as business publications including the Wall Street Journal.
Once you have identified the area of technology you are interested in, try to participate in a user group or the local chapter of an industry organization such as the AITP (Association of Information Technology Professionals), NPA (Networking Professionals Association) or AIP (Association of Internet Professionals). They are excellent resources for networking with IT professionals, developing contacts and job leads, and keeping abreast of industry trends.

High-Frequency Hearing Loss in Male Farmers of Missouri

Farmers are exposed to noise that is potentially hazardous to hearing. We measured the hearing of 161 male farmers and 75 male nonfarmers at the 1979 Missouri Farmers Association Agri-Fair and compared it with the hearing of 129 office workers from central Missouri. Fixed-level screening tests were conducted in both ears at three stimulus frequencies: 1000 and 2000 hertz at 20 decibels hearing level and 4000 hertz at 25 decibels hearing level. Audiometers were calibrated in accordance with the ANSI--1969 standard. The results show that farmers are at risk for hearing loss at 2000 and 4000 hertz when compared with office workers. The prevalence of hearing loss was greater for farmers at both frequencies in every decade age group from 25 to 64 years. Using screening failure at 2000 and 4000 hertz in both ears as a criterion for a loss that would affect communication ability, we found that the failure rate was 16.8 percent for farmers and 6.2 percent for office workers. As other investigators have found, the prevalence of high-frequency hearing loss in male nonfarmers who associate with farmers was nearly as great as for farmers.

Any David Sedaris fans here? I sure hope so! This piece was inspired by him. Because who doesn't put bikinis and David Sedaris together? Naturally, I respect those nutso chapters he intersperses in some of his books. Like the one in Barrel Fever about breaking up with Charlton Heston to get with Mike Tyson? It's as baffling as it is brilliant. I must confess that I prefer his personal essays, but I love the way his brain works and it's fun to see his take on what happens when reality is flipped on its head. So here's my pale imitation - a stab at a moment that would never happen, but what it might look like if it did...
I was walking down the beach with the wind blowing through my hair - the perfect windswept look that was sexy, yet approachable.
And approach they did! Suddenly several handsome young men were upon me, complementing my outfit. I was proudly showing off my middle-aged figure in a one-piece bathing suit that some may throw in the "given up" category, but that I preferred to place in the "I'm just being modest" bin.
There I was, in all my splendor: my ham hock thighs rubbing together, but not so close that I was prevented from showing off my varicose veins and highlighting those pesky areas I always miss when I shave. My breasts were swaddling my belly - they're such good friends; who am I to keep them apart? Oh, and don't forget that wide expanse of pale skin! And my freckles. Yes, my freckles that are so numerous in number that they have their own annual dermatologist appointment. That's the package that was gleaming in the sunlight.
Finally, one of them spoke, "May I just say that you look amazing?"
I feigned modesty. Obviously I looked amazing. We all know I looked amazing.
"Fellows," I addressed them. I liked using the word "fellows" to emphasize the old-timeyness of the situation. A swimsuit this modest deserved the utmost decorum. This also served as a friendly, but reserved greeting. Not too friendly so they felt encouraged to hang out with me all day, but not so cold that they felt rebuffed. In short, the perfect balance.
"Fellows, please. It's nothing to go on about. It's just a one-piece bathing suit with a built-in skirt." I titled my head coquettishly and lowered my eyelashes. But not before I caught the approving nods.
"Sure, there are a lot of one-piece bathing suits with built-in skirts on this beach. But no one is wearing it like you."
We let the sentence hang in the air. After all, what can you say after that? It's hard to improve on the truth.

The JBL CristalProfi i40 internal filter is equipped with a foam cartridge to provide clean and healthy aquarium water. The selected pore structure provides ideal conditions for the development of colonies of cleansing bacteria which play and essential role in the breakdown of pollutants and at the same time ensures good mechanical filtering efficiency. The collection of various micro-organisms on the surface of the cartridges also adds variety to the diet of young fry.
Operation principle of the JBL Internal filter CristalProfi i40: Air fed into the central up-pipe by an air pump then rises upwards. This causes the water in the hose to flow upwards. The water which follows flows through a foam cartridge located in the up-pipe and is mechanically and bilogically celaned.
Special features of the JBL CristalProfi i40:
- a heavy stand ensures that the filter stands firmly in the aquarium without suction holders
- the T-shaped surface profile of the filter cartridge doubles the surface and ensures long performance with good flow
- a Air pump, JBL EcoAir 40 is included

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte)
Mozart's final opera (written before La Clemenza di Tito but first performed later) premiered in Vienna in September 1791, just weeks before the composer's death, with Mozart conducting the orchestra from the fortepiano. A timeless fairy tale, it was a major success from the beginning and never lost its place as one of the most popular works in the repertoire. Julie Taymor's beloved Met production opened in 2004. Its abridged English-language version, which returns in December 2013 as the company's annual holiday presentation for families, inaugurated the Met's Live in HD series of performance transmissions to movie theaters around the world in 2006.

Laires Metropole
"The City of 8 Cities"
Explanation of thoughts:
It will take some time to fill the page but i am working on it. City still isnt finished, mainly because I spend a lot of time in details. I am finishing the city but I am already putting pictures online, just in case....
1 - The (first)idea was that I would have a big city, just divided in 8 sections and a center. I would just build what would come in to my mind for each section. Like building a city in ach section. Because of a slow computer I was starting with 3 sections only
The sections are numbered in the order i was starting with the section.
The center would include lots of sports so I planted al stadiums there. But after a while I decided I should have something else, so I put a big square in the middle (a circle!!) and surrounded it with all kinds of religious buildings from all over the world.
All religions could come togehter in one place! (Of course this game doesnt have all the various religious buildings so just use some fanta)
2 - The second thing was to have a perfect road grid for a metropole without the typical metropolic trafficjams. Thats why there are a lot of electronic traffic informationsigns (Didnt included them everywhere because they only have 1 LOD, but the blue signs above the road are already in place).
Lots of hedges and fences for a more realistic on-road approach. I also use tunnels. I really like them. The bridges in this game, compared to the buildings, are too big for me.
I know we have a lot of choices with roads in this game but still I would like something else than 2 trafficlights with my 8 lane roads and no zebra-crossings when the road is 50m wide please!
*************picture ugly road
3 - I also wanted to beat gta san andreas or nfs underground cities or whatever. Thanx to the avatar mode and the fact that you could ride along with cars made it so my little nephew would walk in my city just exploring and me tagging along cars.
4 - Another thing is I wanted to let people see you dont have to have a city with all skyscrapers in one place and the highest in the middle. The important thing was with placing all buildings was that I did consider that people are looking out of windows, so there there is always enough space between high buildings. So MY metropole is no jungle of buildings. It a coördinated big city.
5 - As I progressed, new buildings came out, more experience and new idea's like my "hunter x hunter" blimb airport in section 8, or the cirkel district between section 5 and 6.
Feel free to steal lots of my ideas!!!
I have divided the city pictures into 18 different categories
So please enjoy the pictures my city project. I claim it to be the best gridded city with life.
***I am still updating this with pictures***
-Overview & Sat(3 pictures)
-Relax & Religious Center(2 pictures)Transportation Art
This is it boys, a piece of Coresant (star wars)The center of the city. Here is where all religions of the entire world come together in one place.** Talk about setting the best peace example on this planet! (Thank you Laires Metropole)
Including rival sport teams in one place, there is no hooligan fighting here because we know whats more important: drinking beer together with religious people who do not drink beer but something else.... (historical words)
** There is already a place like this in the world, its the keizerstraat in Suriname the only place in the world where muslim, jews and christians holy place are next to each other.
-Residental Ring(6 pictures)-Section 1 "You Are Here..." (3 pictures)You want to live in the center? Well this is it! If you want to live 'downtown' ya gots ta live 'ere.-Section 2 "The Crystal City..."(7 pictures)Here is where it all began. Section 1, started to build from the border with section 2 it looked very promising from the start. Lots of building combinations tryouts here.-Section 3 "A New City Center..."(1 picture)I wanted a nice looking Crystal City with a nice road leading to it. What about some small neighbourhoods around it... I think so too, lets do it!
Beautiful buidings with the most beautiful flags in the world.
-Section 4 "Extended Play..."(4 pictures)Section 3 and three bigger neigbourhoods with of course, the football club!-Section 5 "A Skilled Connection..."(4 pictures)Section 4 to the left side. Because it is next to Section 1 it was the idea to have the same kind of gridded neighbourhoods. Only this time in an advanced version as you can see with the lake and the bridges.-Section 6 "The Village People..."(2 picture)I needed a lot of skilled workers so I came up with this idea: Connect them with skybridges!! Its a nice part to drive through (check the second video)
-Section 7 "....."(empty)Here was a small village of 400 people. living in peace untill mister Laires decided to transform his little town into a giant city. U can still find the little town in the city....
-Section 8 "....."(empty)
-Business Rings(1 picture)-Business Parks & Districts(3 pictures)The business rings surrounds the Relax and Religious Center and second it surrounds the Residental Ring
-Football & Sports(2 pictures)Various business parks districts throughout the city. Among them are the famous four business parks surrounding the business ring.
Mirrors Edge Industries
First Freedoms Plaza
State of Laires Military-Roads(5 pictures)Section 2 large football areaSection 5 sports area
-Traffic(empty)Because the city of Laires Metropole is all about roads and no traffic jams, Ill have to show the world how the roads look right?
-Details(3 pictures)-Media(2 videos)Selfmade lakes with shores, creeks, small neighbourhood 'bridges', road bridges... you name it! Sandy paths, shores, fence-combo's

The gang needs to perform an exorcism in an abandoned lighthouse. Care to join?
4.13 / 5.00 5,687 ViewsHey guys! Just did an update of my last game iDrop 1.
It was good fun to make this game, so i have you have some fun playing it.
Has new features such as coins to collect and random power ups etc...
Im very interested to see what scores people can get.
Good luck! and Thanks for playing!
EDIT: Daily 5th! Thanks Guys! :) I'm stoked!
Pretty kool!
It's pretty fun to play. Wouldn't hold my attention span for super long though. I'd suggest maybe putting a bit more content graphically (and maybe some more Audio) to keep it fresh. Perhaps a scenery change as you progress in points?
Any who, simple but solid. Keep up the good work :)
(I liked the Audio Portal touch, ParagonX9 composes some good stuff ;) )
Well well
For such a simple game you have done a great job, it is fun and addicitng which are 2 of the main reasons for flash games! I like the powerups and the two player feature. Great job lbwebgames!
I loved it!
This was a great game it got a little hard but this was a great game you made.

Last updated on March 7, 2014 |
Sunshine Forever (March 14, 1985 – January 7, 2014) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. Bred by Darby Dan Farm owner John W. Galbreath who owned his dam, Outward Sunshine, and his damsire, Graustark, Sunshine Forever was sired by Galbreath's 1972 Epsom Derby winner, Roberto.
Trained by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, John M. Veitch, Sunshine Forever was voted the Eclipse Award for American Champion Male Turf Horse following a 1988 season in which he won three Grade I races. In addition to winning the important Turf Classic, Man o' War Stakes, and the Washington, D.C. International Stakes, the colt ran second to Great Communicator in the Breeders' Cup Turf and third to winner Mill Native in the Arlington Million.
In 1989, Sunshine Forever's best major race results were a second in the Grade II Canadian Turf Handicap at Gulfstream Park in Florida and a third-place finish in the Grade III Fort Marcy Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York City.
Retired to stud duty at Darby Dan Farm, Sunshine Forever's offspring met with modest racing success. After standing in the United States, he was sent to Nitta Farm in Japan. In late 2004, arrangements were made to bring the then nineteen-year-old horse to the Old Friends retirement home for thoroughbred racehorses in Georgetown, Kentucky. He died at Old Friends on January 7, 2014 aged 29.[1]

Hello. I have a problem when working on rhyhm. When playing, I hit relatively precisely the 1, 2, 3 or the 4 of the measure, but the subdivisions are rushed, especially the sixteents. When I try to slow down, I start dragging, but I dont seem to get a nice steady subdivision. I've been doing all exercices slowly with the metronome on 2 and 4, just on 1 and just on 1 of every two measures. I hear myself speed up after the tick and slow down just before the next tick. I still hit the tick itself rather consistently (except "1 of every two measures" of course, I'm just starting it). What exercices should I do for it? Thanks
My advice will be to start practising with the metronome very slow, say 50 bpm. It requires a lot of concentration and it amplifies your mistakes so you will see what you are doing. First play the quarter notes at 50 bpm (just an open string following the pulse) then play straight 8ths (divide the pulse by two, you can count it loud, one-two, one-two). After you master these play straight 16ths by dividing the pulse by 4. With the metronome at 50 you have the time to count 4 16ths at every quarter note. Bring it up in tempo as you succeed and record yourself often to listen how you progress. I hope this helps. Regards, M.
You do explain the nature of the playing, you only give the problem. Your problem falls into two very distinct areas, the physical use and the mental use. If your problem is physical, then you are tripping over your fingers, your lack of physical co-ordination is cause you to lose time in the actual act of playing. If it is a mental problem, it is because you are not defining the task clear in your head what you want to play. Knowing what to play is not enough, knowing what needs to be done and actually doing it is a task of resolve, accepting and believing it has to be done this way every time is the mental process involved. There is no mental difference between playing whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, thirty second notes, but there physical difference is a relation to a set tempo before it is ever a physical task. For example how do we know when is a player playing slow sixteenths instead of fast eighth notes? The mental process still requires the brain to make the relationship to the timing and then pick the notes to play. When you play a whole note you think 1-2-3-4 but you play only on the 1 and hold the note for 2-3-4. So you had to continue to think 1-2-3-4 but only puck the note once. When you play half notes you think 1-2-3-4 but you only play on the 1 and the 3. So you play the 1 and hold it through the 2 before plucking it on the 3 and holding it through the 4. You still think 1-2-3-4 but you only plucked twice. When you play quarter notes you think 1-2-3-4 and pluck 1-2-3-4. So you play what you count. But you still think 1-2-3-4 When you play eighth notes you count 1-2-3-4 and play each note twice, but you still think 1-2-3-4 When you play sixteenth notes you play each note four times, but you still think 1-2-3-4. But if you change the mental relationship to the above task by counting 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & you change the relationship to the mental and the physical. To play the previous examples using this count we need to play one beat and feel the and other till we get to the eighth notes. It is the feeling and relationship to who the time is passing that we need to work on...not how fast it is passing. When we play the eighth notes the task marries up the notes we feel and the notes we count, so we play the beat and the feel to get the eight notes. This gives us the physical task of playing once to what we think and feel. This was the same mental and physical task of playing quarter notes when counting 1-2-3-4. If the count was 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & the relationship changes again. The mental process is longer between what we count and what we feel, so how we pluck those notes when we play has changed....but it is still a reference to 1-2-3-4. Those quarter notes now get pluck on the 1 3 5 7 to create the correct tempo.... and so on it goes. We cannot think this fast, so we have to take a mental count and sub-divided it into feel, we have to feel the time passing because we cannot think or count that fast. We learn to build a relationship of how much time has passed between the notes we play, not how fast they were played. How fast they are played is tempo, not timing, and as I said at the start, how do we know when is a player playing slow sixteenths and not fast eighth notes? I find the working to 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & is a great way to develop the relationship between feel and playing. I give players the idea that in playing straight fours we think 1 & 2 & not 1-2-3-4 and 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & instead of 1-2-3-4. The brain quickly works out what to feel and what to play because there is space within this count to feel. Also there is space to develop the count and feel aspects of it in to 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 &. This paves the way to counting and feeling sub-divisions using 1 & E & a 2 & E & a 3 etc because we have got used to feeling the space in what we count against. As has been mentioned slow everything down and focus on the space between the notes passing...not the speed they pass at. When playing this slow the sub -divisions are where you put them, so after four notes it is quarters, after eight notes it is 8ths, so how fast they pass is not what you are developing (that is a tempo issue) and there relationship to a count within a beat.
It is a mental problem. Even if I tap the rhythm on the table, it tends to be the same. I don't seem to rush much while playing straight notes (straight 8ths or 16ths or 4ths). But when in a groove, I seem to have reference beats (like 1 and 3, or the snare) that fall rather good, but the subdivisions close to those references gravitate and come a little closer then they should. For instance: A simple groove like A dotted 4ths and an 8ths, the 8t gets a bit closer te the reference point (the 4th) Actually, you propose using 8ths as "reference beats" instead of 4ths? And thank you,Fergie, it is one great post. You must be a really teacher. And, yes, generally, I have a tendency to rush. But the metronome is gradually helping me out.
All excellent suggestions. Another tip to use with those - get a metronome that plays the subdivisions. I use a Digimet in my classroom, but that's a bit much for individual practice. Perhaps a Dr. Beat would be more appropriate (and cost effective). On my smartphone (Android) I have a free app called Mobile Metronome, but it's not very loud unless I plug it in my amp. Yuck.
I think only using some rhythm exercice for snare drum with a metronome would put things in perspective. first read the rhythm tree then the easy exercise. Saying the rhythm with a sylable like : ta and ke ... a quater note will be Ta and four 8th note will be taketake. I don't know maybe in english it is hard to prononce that very fast so you may find something that work better for you. also very important to accentuate the first of every group of four 8th/16th, it justs make things easier to follow. Once you can sing those thing, try play them by choosing whatever note on your bass. With the metronome on every beat then just on the 1 and 3 or only on 2 and 4 ... then only on 1 etc.
Try not to be to hard on yourself as far as far as being spot on the beat, think more of being at the beat within the tempo you are playing. Everyone has naunces of how the play....that is what makes what they do desirable rather than a click......any good computer will produce the goods on a click, but they cannot introduce the feel required. Good feel has to be part of good time keeping, a feel can disguise time through the use of implyed timing....as in did the bass or the bass drum just play that beat, was what we just heard and felt a result of what actually we heard or what we felt? Slow songs use 12/8 because it better represents the feel not the tempo. Set your nome on 12/8 and play some simple slow walking Blues lines. Now tighten it up to 4/4 and feel the difference of playing them with "less time to move" your playing between the beat. Again the tempo is the same, it is not any faster, but the room to think and move is just less The reason i use and teach implied 8ths within 4s is it is a natural step to playing 16ths smoothly and calmly it give more "thinking time" which develops in to a feel for it, so in the end you actually think less and use the feel you have learned to associated with the time that passes between beats...not the speed of the tempo being used. Our brains learn to sort out all the "ands" as feel so only deal with the 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, then our brain realises the relationship to how much time has passed to understand what is happening within a tempo. This means we are not rushing to count, the tempo always remains the same, the music does not get faster, but notes can come around to be played sooner. This feeling of our fingers fretting new notes and hearing notes sooner can panic us into believing the music is faster than it is, but the tempo is set so it cannot be....it is an audio perception of the brain. 8th notes at say 120BPM are not played faster than 16ths at 120BPM, there are just more of them to be played, the tempo is the same. Follow the link and try this exercise...i gaurantee you it does not get harder or any faster...the notes just come around sooner and that panics the brain into trying to anticipate things that are not really happening. The exercise is a basic entry level exercise to understand the basic concept of beats within a tempo. What we need to develop is the need for a slow head and fast hands...in other words do not panic..we are allowed to wait for the beat to come to us because we can feel the tempo has not changed. http://youtu.be/u_DV8jtZSm4

As you can see from the title; this thread is where you say what song could be your theme song Mine are Believe in Me and This Is Me by Demi Lovato and That's Just the Way We Roll and I Am What I Am (hence my username) by Jonas Brothers. These songs pretty much sum me up. It is the magic that is me!
I have a lot of them songs depending on the day and my mood Happy - Check Yes Juliet, Here I Come, Ice Ice Baby, Breakout, Titanic, Sad - I Miss You Mad at someone - Get Back, 7 Things, Picture to Burn Any mood - Hot and Cold, Check Yes Juliet, Breakout, Titanic, Here I Come, Our Time Now, Great Escape(Boys Like Girls not Gwen) and a lot more
"Cause Im a blonde" Julie Brown ....xD Nah..uhm...i dont know really. "Does anybody really know what time it is" - Chicago. Just read the lyrics, any song that says "does anybody really care?" in it, practically describes me xD AND. Any Billy Joel song OH! and another one by Julie Brown. "The homecoming queens got a gun" xD
Most of the songs I've written describe me. As for actual songs, the last verse/chorus of Believe In Me-Demi Lovato: Eternity- Jonas Brothers La La Land-Demi Lovato.
Yep. Yeah I saw I didnt want to respond though cause I know I'd sit and talk for hours, I need to go for a little bit though so hopefully I can talk to her later.

The past 12 months have been some of the most fulfilling of my life. I made great strides both personally and professionally, and while death did intervene on a couple of occasions, and threaten on another, 2014 was by far a positive year overall.
The most interesting point, as far as I'm concerned, was my long-awaited return to competitive boxing. Also long-awaited was a promotion I secured in work. My relationship with Fai continued to progress and deepen, and I travelled overseas three times. On a sadder note, I lost two friends, and nearly lost a dear family member.
In June, I finally returned to competitive boxing – a mere 17 years after my last match! To put that into perspective, it was a hiatus seven years longer than that which preceded George Foreman's famous comeback.
I had been training consistently for a couple of years but for various reasons had not secured a match. But last year, western amateur boxing really took off in Bangkok. Previously, foreign boxers in Thailand had two options – fight in muay Thai, or turn pro and get fed to the lions. Neither option appealed to me, and there has been no obvious amateur programme open to foreigners, so when The Lab organised its inaugural boxing show in June and offered me a spot on the card, I jumped at the chance.

Continuing my "Six of the best" series marking my six years in Thailand, I present my pick of restaurants in the Bangkok region (in no particular order).
1. GOLD BAY LEAF (upper Sukhumvit)
The power of word of mouth is evidenced in this excellent eatery which, if you didn't know it's reputation, you'd probably walk straight past, thinking it just another of the thousands of shophouse diners found all over the country.
Folding tables, check. Plastic chairs, check. Barely decorated walls, check. So far, so unremarkable. But tiny, open kitchen capable of whipping up miracles from a menu of more than 100 items, both Thai and international? Check, absolutely.
Chef Chai Boonlert is classically trained and has worked at several top-notch hotels, but the pride he takes in his work dictates that he no longer wishes to cook someone else's recipes, or follow someone else's menu. Consequently, he set up the Gold Bay Leaf – a modest affair, for sure, but one that he has absolute quality control over.
With no advertising budget and no big-name print reviews, Gold Bay Leaf succeeds on personal recommendations and social media buzz. In other words, the kind of reputation you can only earn with results. Try it for yourself.

Thailand's image needs all the help it can get right now. Last month's dramatic footage of bomb sites and gun fights across Bangkok played out internationally and many countries have yet to lift their travel warnings to the erstwhile Land of Smiles.
For sure, confidence has been rocked, and even beyond the photos of war on the streets, the reputation of Thai people as gentle, benevolent Buddhists has been tarnished by displays of downright ugly behaviour during such fractious times.
Whether the protesters promising – and almost succeeding – to turn Bangkok into a "sea of fire", or their opponents cheering and swearing as the death toll neared a hundred, there was precious little positive humanity on display.

Where should one take a visiting mother in Bangkok? Temple-hopping, perhaps? Bargain-hunting in markets and malls? Rooftop or riverside dining? Or maybe to see mutated babies, preserved serial killers, elephantiasis-afflicted scrotums the size of medicine balls, and all manner of diseased, ruptured, punctured, crushed and deformed organs, skulls and limbs?
If that, rather than a Chao Phraya cruise, is what floats your – or your mother's – boat, then jump on board a ferry to Siriraj Hospital's Forensic Museum, which mixes genuine scientific endeavour with the kind of shock appeal previously reserved for Victorian carnival freakshows or 1980s body-horror movies.

Managing for Excellence
Chinny Anthony Enechukwu , Teacher, Nigeria Management entails getting things done and using people and organisation's resources to attain the set objectivesThe best method to manage an orgaisation is by deploying her resources, both human and material, to attain the orgaisation's objectives. I also favour the bottom-up approach. This ensures a well motivated workforce and a highly efficient organisation. My main interest area: managing people: achieving results. It is my considered opinion that a managemet has failed if it does not encourage its staff to become creative, original in proffering solutions and in employing team-spirit to solve any organisational problems. All the above will ultimately ensure a boost in production and a huge leap in the scope and image of the organisation. React | More on the Author | More on this Interest Area

Attitude control of an underwater vehicle subjected to waves
Citable URI
Submersibles; WavesAbstract
This paper presents a method for estimating the spectra of water wave disturbances on
five of the six axes of a stationary, slender body underwater vehicle in an inertia dominated wave
force regime, both in head seas and in beam seas. Inertia dominated wave forces are typical of
those encountered by a 21 inch diameter, torpedo shaped underwater vehicle operating in coastal
waters and sea state 2. Strip theory is used to develop transfer function phase and magnitude
between surface water waves and the slender body pitch, heave, and surge forces and moment for
the vehicle in head seas, and for pitch, heave, yaw, and sway forces and moments in beam seas.
Experiments are conducted which verify this method of transfer function calculation, and
demonstrate the effects of vehicle forward motion in the head seas case. Using known sea spectra
and linear time invariant systems theory allows for estimation of the water wave disturbance
spectra for these forces and moments.
Application of sliding control techniques are then developed for the underwater vehicle
longitudinal plane equations of motion. Computer simulations are used to demonstrate the
dependence of underwater vehicle depth control upon the pitch control, and adaptive pitch control
is shown to provide good performance in the presence of substantial parametric uncertainty.
Pitch disturbance rejection properties of variations of the sliding controller are investigated. Both
single frequency and stochastic disturbances are used, and the stochastic disturbance is developed
using the results of the earlier investigation.
