Jobs, career information, and employment services for job candidates, employees, employers and recruiters.
I referenced the circus because I just finished another interviewing book that recommends asking for the job before leaving the interview. I can envision up to 15 qualified professionals each asking the interviewer for the job. If each asks for the job, doesn't that make the question null and void . cross out each other's great gesture? If everyone jumps through the same hoop, performing like a good little circus monkey, what's going to set you apart from other candidates? Giving this great thought, I decided to look at the things that would impress me. I've been in the career industry for many years, and if I hired individuals on a daily basis, I wouldn't be impressed by someone asking for the job. By showing up for the interview, I know this person wants/needs the job. The real question is who is the best fit for the position - the person that will add the most to my bottom line. A number of new strategies that I recommend include discussing the position at the time of scheduling the interview, creating a position-specific presentation for the interviewer, and shocking the interviewer with specifics on how you will transform their business. I've seen many instances where stepping up to a challenge have been very rewarding. Benefits can cannonball into your favor because going the extra mile has its own rewards. Years ago, for example, I heard a story about an executive who was applying to a well-known jean company. Rather than taking the traditional route, she opted to write her r�sum� on the back of a pair of jeans. Wouldn't you know it, she got the job! Another example I'll share is of a gentleman who wished to serve on a school board. Rather than submitting his request, campaigning, and holding his breath, he went around and spoke to school administrators and teachers about the condition of the school district. He valued their input, focusing on many of the important issues plaguing the school's progress; and when it came time for the election, he won without trouble. Each of these people did the same thing: they went against the grain of their competitors. If there are 6 clowns stuffed in a 2-seat car, yet in the rear there is one clown riding a float with fireworks coming off the back. Are you looking at the small car stuffed with clowns, or are you looking at the great show behind the car? Setting yourself apart has become critical because - let's be honest - the interview process is flawed. The best candidate doesn't always get the position. It's generally the person who says all the right things, at all the right times. The person who has best performed their stage act is not necessarily the one that has the best skills. With this said, I suggest doing something unique, yet professional, showing employers that you care about their successes. Probing for Information Prior to the Interview Some individuals love to dish out dirt, so you need only ask the right questions beforehand. Holding the answers to certain questions will make the interview saturated with elements relevant to the company's current situation and needs. Examples of questions that you can ask a secretary or clerk (also referred to as the gatekeeper) at the time of scheduling an interview: � Specifically, what are the challenges in this position? � Can you tell me why the person in the job is leaving/has left? � What problems are keeping the department from running smoother? � Are there concerns the department manager has about filling this position? � Is the department behind or lacking support to complete certain functions? � Can you give me any additional direction that would help me identify what elements of my background will help your department manager meet his or her objectives? On occasion, you only need to ask one question, sit back, and listen. Remember to hear more than you speak, taking notes throughout the entire conversation. You should cultivate enough information so you can create a nice presentation for the interviewer on your special day. Create a Presentation that Solves Problems I'd hire the first person that walked through my door and convinced me that they could make all my problems go away. I know that sounds farfetched because realistically no one can fix everything, but I would hire the first person that came close to being a savior to my exhausting daily workload. Managers want to hire individuals that will satisfy the job description, continue to solve problems independently, and excel regardless of the pressure, all while making the direct manager look good, of course. As an example, imagine that the gatekeeper said the department experiences huge backlogs of acquisitions. Reference your own experiences to determine the types of obstacles the company may be facing. Log each of your solutions and make notation of a couple of solutions along with implementation procedures. Also, jot down the number of acquisitions you can complete daily and how quickly you can catch up on any backlog the company may be experiencing. Give the interviewer an offer that can't be refused, rather than performing the same mundane act as the other performers. Sales positions revolve exclusively around clients (revenue); so if you KNOW that you can secure a certain prominent client then offer it as an asset. You can say something like, "I noticed that S3 Corporation isn't an existing client of yours. I know they spend up to a million dollars per year buying products inferior to yours. I have a contact in the business development department that would love to meet with us to discuss ways we can save them money and offer a better product matched by your award-winning service . once I'm offered the job, of course." Some newspaper publications offer an archive for tracking a company's history relayed in print. Learn about new contracts awarded to the company, a new division or location, or possibly, a new CEO. Mentioning current events within an interview shows that you are taking an interest in the business. On the other side, you can use these items as ammunition in your presentation. You'll WOW them only if you do your homework. If you plan to attend the interview with all the magical answers that everyone else practiced, then you should go out and play the lottery. Your chances are stacked against you, especially with today's job market. The competition is fierce, so I recommend modifying drab strategies to incorporate "death-defying" initiatives to get you to the other side of the tightrope rather than falling onto the net.

Ammunition sellers and manufacturers say there's been a run on bullets and they can't keep their shelves stocked.
Jeff Dillard who runs National Armory in Pompano says it's the worst he's ever seen.
"I have never seen ammo so impossible to get," said Dillard.
He said demand for ammunition has been growing and spiked over the past couple of days.
"Because of the terrorist attacks and the gun control legislation people are getting in more of a panic situation," Dillard said.
When he can get bullets, Dillard says, they're expensive.

No. 2 USC Cruises Through Two In Riverside Feb. 18, 2012 RIVERSIDE, CALIF. - The No. 2 USC women's water polo team grabbed two more wins today in the second stanza of the Lancer Invitational, topping host Cal Baptist 12-3 before posting an 18-6 win over Concordia. The Women of Troy improve to 7-1 on the season as they bring home four straight wins this week in the action in Riverside, Calif. Nadia Dan was the hot-handed Trojan on the day in leading USC with back-to-back hat tricks. She joined Kaleigh Gilchrist's hefty four-goal outing against Cal Baptist to open the day as USC amassed an 8-1 lead on the Lancers by halftime on the way to a 12-3 win. Flora Bolonyai was the Trojan goalie in that one, picking up five saves for the USC defense. USC would turn around and get right back to action in taking on Concordia next. Dan punched up another hat trick along with fellow senior Kara-Leigh Huse and sophomore Olivia Cummins as the Trojans racked up nine goals in each half of play. Eleven different Women of Troy hit the back of the net in the 18-6 win, while Morgan Vickers anchored the cage and tallied six saves in the victory. USC now returns to Los Angeles to prep for the Trojans' home opener this week. USC hosts Hawai'i in a 5 p.m. clash on Thursday (Feb. 13). LANCER INVITATIONAL (Riverside, Calif.)

Hello everyone! I succeeded installing Lion to my desktop computer. I then made a DMG image of my partition so that I could transfer it to my laptop. (the trackpad and USBs didn't work during the installation, so I was not able to make the installation directly from the laptop)
But, I'm experiencing some problems with the battery. As you could see on the screenshot, there's the battery icon, and there's an X in it. It says: "No battery is available", "Power Source: battery".
Thanks for any help,

The Chorus—a single character, whose speeches open each of the play's five acts—steps forward and announces that we are about to watch a story that will include huge fields, grand battles, and fighting kings. The Chorus notes, however, that we will have to use our imaginations to make the story come to life: we must imagine that the small wooden stage is actually the fields of France and that the few actors who will appear on the stage are actually the huge armies that fight to the death in those fields.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Ely, two powerful English churchmen, confer with one another. They both express concern about a bill that has been brought up for the consideration of the king of England, Henry V. Canterbury and Ely don't want the king to pass this bill into law because it would authorize the government to take away a great deal of the church's land and money. The money would be used to maintain the army, support the poor, and supplement the king's treasury. The clergymen, who have been made wealthy and powerful by this land and money, naturally want to keep it for themselves.
In order to achieve his goal, the Archbishop of Canterbury has come up with a clever political strategy. The young King Henry V has been thinking about invading France, for he believes he has a claim to the throne of France as well. Canterbury anticipates that a war would distract the king from considering the bill to confiscate church property. So, to encourage Henry to concentrate on the invasion, Canterbury has made a promise to the king: he will raise a very large donation from the clergymen of the church to help fund the king's war efforts.
Canterbury and Ely also spend some time admiring the king's virtue and intelligence. They note that "[t]he courses of his youth promised it not" (I.i.25)—in other words, no one knew that the king would turn out so well, considering he wasted his adolescence taking part in "riots, banquets, [and] sports" (I.i.57) and hanging around with lowlifes. His reformation has been nothing short of miraculous. The new, improved Henry is about to meet with the delegation of French ambassadors who have come to England. Ely and Canterbury head for the throne room to participate in the meeting.
The Chorus, or Prologue, appears at the beginning of every act to introduce the action that follows, serving as a commentator as the action of the play progresses. Shakespeare frequently makes use of epilogues (as in A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest), but the recurring Chorus is atypical for him. The Chorus serves a different purpose in every act, but its general role is to fire the audience's imagination with strong descriptive language that helps to overcome the visual limitations of the stage. At the start of Act I, the Chorus's specific purpose is to apologize for the limitations of the play that is to follow. This use of apology, usually as a means of encouraging the audience to express its approval, was a common technique in the drama of Shakespeare's time, though it was more often put into an epilogue that followed the play.
The Chorus's comments emphasize the fact that the play is a performance that requires the audience's mental cooperation to succeed. From the outset, the play suggests the impossibility of presenting the events as they really were, as the Chorus vainly wishes for "[a] kingdom for a stage, princes to act, / And monarchs to behold the swelling scene" (I.Prologue.3–4). But even as he (on Shakespeare's stage, a single actor would have played the Chorus) apologizes for the fact that his stage cannot show the full reality of events, the Chorus uses striking language to help the audience picture that reality for themselves: "Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them, / Printing their proud hoofs i'th' receiving earth" (I.Prologue.26–27). The Chorus's opening invocation of the muse, a classical figure of creative inspiration, also brings to mind the first lines of ancient epics of war, such as Virgil's Aeneid, and helps to situate Henry V within the imaginative tradition of ancient war epics that depict the deeds of great heroes. Shakespeare uses his most characteristic meter for the Chorus's speech: slightly irregular iambic pentameter—that is, lines composed of five feet, or groups of syllables, with the emphasis on the second syllable of each foot. The irregularities of the meter tend to call attention to certain important words and inject energy into the passage. The iambic pentameter continues as the action begins, although with far less rigor.
I just finished Henry V, the 19th Shakespeare play, in my quest to read all the Bard by his 450th birthday next year. If you're interested, visit my blog to find out what I thought of it and more on what I thought of Henry:

Summer brings such divine tomatoes. For the easiest dinner, roast small tomatoes in a 400 degree oven in a baking dish with lots of extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper until the tomatoes have begun to pop and release their sweet juices. Toss with your favorite type of just cooked pasta and mix in a bunch of fresh torn up basil leaves. If so inclined, add a dusting of fresh Parmesan. Fini.

A Country Girl Visits Los Angeles in 1948
In the past, people kept diaries to record their thoughts and experiences, somewhat like people use Facebook or blogs today. Reading these diaries is a wonderful insight into the past. My mom recently shared her diary from 1948, when she and her brother and sister, just out of their teens, drove from their home in rural Wisconsin to glamorous Los Angeles, scouting with the hopes of moving here eventually:
"Los Angeles is wonderful! It isn't beautiful – it's too dry. The trees and grass aren't very green. But I love it. It's where I want to be, if ever I am able to do as I choose.
"We went to the beach that afternoon. It was sunshiny and nice when we went, and then, all of a sudden a wet and cold fog came in, and drove everybody away. And the traffic on 101 was like something I've never seen! We were able to drive about one mile in 10 minutes – four lanes of cars bumper-to-bumper.
"On Friday about 1 p.m. we stopped at a plain, old market on Wilshire Boulevard. Much to our amazement we found Fred MacMurray there, shopping alone for groceries. I couldn't believe my eyes, but when I heard his voice there wasn't any doubt about it. The clerk said that he, or his wife, or his Chinese-boy come in two times a week, from a good distance, to buy their groceries. That was quite a treat! He was in there for a long time and nobody bothered him. I was close enough to touch him several times. He was much better looking than he is on the screen, and very tall and broad-shouldered, and doesn't look as old as he is (about 40, I think). The clerk said they are the commonest, nicest people you could see anyplace. My sister heard him tell the clerk his wife was 'laid-up' that day. He has a wonderful smile. He wore dark-colored glasses and was dressed beautifully.
"In the evening we drove to Hollywood. We stopped at a radio store and watched a television broadcast of a baseball game in the window. I'd love to have a set. Several times on the trip we saw near-accidents. We saw dozens of English cars, with the steering wheel on the right.
"One day when we came home on the bus, we saw a young man – quite good-looking and dressed nicely. He wore dark glasses. At first I couldn't figure out what was the matter with him – if he was drunk or crazy. He couldn't stand up straight, kept leaning back and he was shaking and jerking. He'd screw up his face, trying to concentrate, or relax, or something. It was awful. And then he got out of the bus at the Veteran's Hospital on Wilshire. That just made me sick. I still worry about the poor boy.
"My sister and I accepted jobs with the Automobile Club at $155 a month, but after figuring up, we decided we wouldn't be able to get along on those salaries. We called up and told the man we didn't want the jobs. On Tuesday we called Ma and Pa and told them what the situation was, and they advised us to stay a little longer. Thursday, we took the car to a Chevrolet garage and found that there was something terribly wrong with the car. They had to change the rings and valves and it cost almost $100! And that was our downfall of course. We couldn't stay with the small amount of money we had.
"We left L.A. about 8:30 on Monday morning. After we got through Pasadena, we drove through orange grove country, and the perfume from the blossoms was simply tantalizing! It was like heaven."
It's a classic story. A combination of lack of money and homesickness had driven them back home. But soon they returned, joining the throngs of Americans moving to California in the post-war years. My mom eventually settled in beautiful La Crescenta. And I'm so glad she did!

High-strength Ceramic 3D printing breakthrough could have significant benefits for aviation
A US laboratory has begun printing high-temperature, high-strength 3D ceramic parts, and the development is likely to have noteworthy benefits for aviation. Californian company HRL Laboratories has used a 3D printed resin in the required size and shape, and fired it to convert it into a ceramic that can endure temperatures up to 1,700 degrees Celsius, without any loss of crucial strength.
Quadrantid, New Year's first meteor shower, likely to peak on Jan 4

About 15 years from today, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) may launch its Orion spacecraft on a voyage to Mars, the first such manned mission to deep space. The space agency has revealed many things about the space journey, but didn't tell anything about a habitable module. Now, Congress has asked NASA to build a prototype deep space habitation module by 2018.

Sight Word Board Games {and a photo update!}
Hey friends!
Does this seem like the longest week ever to anyone else????
I guess because we were so spoiled having two weeks off
for winter break, and this is only our first full week back.
Before I share some recent pics,
here's my latest addition to my TpT store.
I needed another literacy center to use weekly
with no prep work!
There are 9 different board games included in this pack
and all you need is a spinner or dice and you're good to go.
All 220 words included, so the most frequently used sight
words are included in the first game board and then so on.
You can pick up your own copy here!
Ok, I thought I'd unload some recent pics {instagram and such}
from the last few weeks.
Lainey practicing her letters. :)
Oh, I love office supplies.
I stayed in this isle of Staples for probably 45 min.
The employees must have thought I was completely insane!
I loved this little pre-holiday activity...turned out cute I thought.
Courtesy of Lindsey at The Teacher Wife. :)
Here is her post and free download.
We turned the houses into little holiday homes with some
scrapbook paper and stickers.

Aqua Spirit BarHands down the bar with the best harbour view of Hong Kong's skylineAre you looking for a bar with great views of the city while you enjoy your night out with your friends? Well, look no further because we at Hong Kong Bars Clubs (.com) have all unanimously chosen Aqua Spirit located in Kowloon's most happening area of Tsim Sha Tsui as the best place to enjoy the city's famous skyline during night or day. Standing high on the 30th floor with slanted windows from the floor up with glamourous decor predominantly in sultry dark red velvet and dimmed sexy lighting, you are able to fully appreciate Hong Kong's architectural brilliance. Designer drinks is what they serve here at Aqua Spirit to match its upclass venue feel. Drinks don't come cheap though starting from HK$150 a glass, which doesn't feel too expensive considering the view and experience that you're getting. Consider it as paying for entrance to a tower in a city to gain birds eye views. They also often hold themed nights here where popular DJs come and entertain the crowd. Very popular with tourists of course aswell as wealthy locals and business class professonals looking for a posh night out. One floor below here is the Aqua restaurant serving Japanese and Italian cuisine with equally spectacular views.

Good idea, but...
I like the idea but so far I have just gotten alerts saying someone is nearby only to find nobody there when I open the app. Perhaps it should delay the alert until someone has been in range for a couple of minutes.

也许最惊人的例子,是丘成桐关于凯勒—爱因斯坦度量存在性的卡拉比猜想的证明,并在其基础上解决了代数几何中几个长期悬而未决的难题。卡—丘流形对数学物理,特别是弦论,有关键的贡献。其他的例子包括汉密尔顿的里奇流在三维流形几何拓扑中的应用,Taubes 和Uhlenbeck 关于四维流形上反自对偶联络和反自对偶度量存在性的粘合技巧,以及Uhlenbeck和丘成桐关于高维复流形Hermitian Yang-Mills 联络存在性的证明。
也许并不为人所熟知的是,Hermitian Yang-Mills 联络的存在性在超对称杂化弦论中至关重要,并对代数几何和复几何也有重要影响。比如,Uhlenbeck和丘成桐的证明是目前仅知的证明,在Higgs 场和Hodge结构的变分理论中有重要应用。
在丘成桐1970年代几何分析工作问世之前,微分方程的发展与微分几何并无关联。很难想象非线性方程可以应用于复几何或代数几何。丘成桐和他的朋友们(比如Rick Schoen, Leon Simon, 郑绍远, Karen Uhlenbeck, Peter Li, Richard Hamilton, Cliff Taubes, Simon Donaldson)的工作使得几何分析发展成为过去50年中几何与拓扑学中最强大的学科。
丘成桐在线性微分方程的工作也极具原创性和影响力。比如,调和函数的梯度估计已经成为几何分析中的标准技巧,热方程的李伟光—丘成桐估计是研究所有抛物方程的基本工具,并启发了汉密尔顿里奇流中的估计技巧,被 Perelman 用于证明庞加莱猜想。
关于丘成桐的伟大原创性和技巧的另一个例子,是他关于调和映照和极小曲面的应用。Meeks 和丘成桐证明极小曲面方程的Douglas解是嵌入的这一经典问题,并用之解决了等变Dehn 引理。这是关于三维球面群作用的著名的Smith 猜想的证明中的关键一步。
Schoen 与丘成桐应用调和映照理论证明了著名的关于广义相对论中质量为正的爱因斯坦猜想。为广义相对论提供了重要的佐证。(如果质量为负,那么整个系统会变得不稳定,分崩离析。)这个正质量定理在几何中有许多重要的推论。
丘成桐提出过许多有着深远影响的猜测和公开问题。比如,弦理论中的镜对称在代数几何中有许多意想不到的应用。解释镜对称成为理论物理和数学的一大挑战课题。Strominger, 丘成桐和Zaslow在1996年提出了镜流形的新构造,被称为SYZ猜想。它给出了镜对称的几何实现与解释,成为当今指引镜对称研究的纲领。
这个问题由Ballmann 和 Burns-Spatzier 完全解决。他们证明中所发展的技巧,完全变革了非正曲率流形理论,导致了CAT(0)空间和CAT(0)群概念的诞生。吸引了许多学者投身非正曲率流形的几何,拓扑与分析研究。
除了数百篇论文,丘成桐也写了许多综述文章和著作。他的文章《微分几何中的微分方程综述》(Survey on partial differential equations in differential geometry, in Seminar on Differential Geometry, pp. 3--71, 1982) 是第一篇关于几何分析的全面综述。从某种意义上,这是一位先驱在学科初创时期的第一手记录。他还有许多关于微分几何的精彩综述。
他与Rick Schoen的著作《微分几何讲义》(Lectures on differential geometry)开门见山的直达几何分析最活跃的课题,指引读者很快进入研究,培育了好几代微分几何学家,也是今后许多年几何学的必备参考书。
除了研究,教学,著述,会议和管理数学中心,丘成桐还发起和编辑多本纯粹和应用数学的杂志。比如在他的努力下,《微分几何杂志》(Journal of Differential Geometry)成为数学的顶尖期刊,其中发表过Simon Donaldson, Michael Friedman, Richard Hamilton, Rick Schoen 等数学家最好的工作。
简而言之,丘成桐为数学而生。他不仅是一位几何学家,一位分析学家,或者一位数学物理学家。他是一位真正的最广泛意义上的数学家。他总是致力于创造和发展数学,慷慨分享他的思想。可以说,如果没有他的贡献,他的视野和他的著述,几何分析学科不可能会像今天这样成熟和丰富多彩。所以,丘成桐属于整个数学史上最杰出的数学家之列,比肩Euler, Gauss, Riemann, Poincare, Hilbert 和Weyl。
Shing-Tung Yau, a great mathematician Lizhen Ji, University of Michigan In the past half-century, the field of geometric analysis has risen and became one of the most active and important subjects in mathematics, and close integration between mathe- matics and physics has solved many seemingly insurmountable problems, opened new fields and changed people's perspectives on both mathematics and physics. Shing-Tung Yau is one of the most active leaders and practitioners in these exciting developments. His contribu- tions, his leadership and his writings have made these subjects what they are now, and he has permanently affected the mathematical landscape. Though the twentieth century is the most productive century in the history of mathe- matics, it is not clear how many people, theories and theorems will become a part of the permanent history of mathematics. On the other hand, there is no question that Yau is a mathematician of great originality, grand vision and awesome technical power, and that he is one of the most prominent mathematicians in the 20th century. Furthermore, the broad subject of geometric analysis developed by Yau, his solution of the Calabi conjecture, and Calabi-Yau manifolds will be used by mathematicians and physicists for many decades to come. Originality and Technical Power. Yau proposed and emphasized the philosophy that the subject of nonlinear partial differential equations should be combined with geometry (including differential geometry, complex geometry and algebraic geometry). Many deep re- sults by him and his co-authors have shown that only through geometry, one can understand thoroughly nonlinear differential equations such as the Monge-Amp`ere equation, and that geometric structures can be constructed effectively by nonlinear partial differential equa- tions coupled with the linear theory of Index theorems, which are still the only way to build geometric structures. Probably the most striking example is his solution of the Calabi conjecture on the exis- tence of Kahler-Einstein metrics which lead to immediate solution of several long standing open problems in algebraic geometry. Calabi-Yau manifolds have also contributed crucially to the extensive development of mathematical physics, in particular string theory. Other ex- amples constructed in this way include the geometric structures on 3-dimensional manifolds by Hamilton's Ricci flow, the gluing arguments by Taubes and Uhlenbeck for existence of anti self-dual connections and anti self-dual metrics on four manifolds, and the existence of Hermitian Yang-Mills connections on higher dimensional complex manifolds by Uhlenbeck- Yau. It might not be well-known that the existence of Hermitian Yang-Mills connections is absolutely essential for the construction of supersymmetric heterotic string and has a huge impact in algebraic geometry and complex geometry. For example, the proof of Uhlenback and Yau is still the only proof that can be used for applications such as Higgs fields and variations of Hodge structures. Before Yau's work in geometric analysis in 1970s, theories of differential equations were largely separately from the differential geometry, and applications of nonlinear differential equations to complex geometry and algebraic geometry could not be imagined. Works of Yau with his friends such as Rick Schoen, Leon Simon, Shiu-Yuen Cheng, Karen Uhlenbeck, Peter Li, Richard Hamilton, Cliff Taubes, Simon Donaldson and others have made geometric analysis the most powerful subject in geometry and topology in the past 50 years. Yau's work on linear differential equations is also very original and influential. For exam- ple, gradient estimates for harmonic functions has become a standard technique in geometric analysis, and the Li-Yau estimate for the heat equation is fundamental to all parabolic equa- tions and has motivated the major estimate in Ricci flow, which has been used to prove the Poincar´e conjecture by Perelman. Another example of great originality and technique of Yau is the application of harmonic maps and minimal surfaces. Meeks and Yau proved the famous classical problem of embed- ding of the Douglas solution of the minimal surface equation, which was turned around to solve the equivariant Dehn's Lemma, which was a crucial step in the solution of the famous Smith conjecture for group actions on the three sphere. Schoen and Yau used the theory of harmonic map to prove the famous Einstein conjecture on the positivity of the mass in general relativity and provides one of the most important justifications of the theory of general relativity. (If the mass were negative, the whole system will be unstable and fall apart!) Many important consequences of the solution of positive mass in geometry have been developed. Throughout his career, Yau has always been very active and been producing highly orig- inal work. For example, most recently, Yau and his collaborators resolved one of the longest standing problems in classical general relativity: giving the correct definition of "quasi-local mass. By Einsteins equivalence principle, there is no well-defined concept of mass/energy density for gravitation. Most prior understanding of the notion of mass/energy (most no- tably, ADM mass and Bondi mass) is limited to isolated systems where the mass/energy is evaluated at infinity. However, it is extremely useful to have a quasi-local description of mass/energy, as the majority of physically observable systems are modeled on a finitely extended region that may not be isolated. Vision. Yau has formulated conjectures and proposed many open problems which have far reaching consequences. For example, the mirror symmetry in string theory has had many unexpected applications in algebraic geometry, and understanding the mirror symmetry conjecture has been a major challenge in theoretical physics and mathematics. In 1996, Strominger, Yau and Zaslow proposed a new construction of mirror manifolds, called the SYZ conjecture. It gives a geometrical realization and explanation of the mirror symmetry in string theory, and has been the guiding principle for a whole generation of people working in the mirror symmetry. In 1982, Yau proposed a list of 120 open problems when he organized a special year on differential geometry at IAS, Princeton. They cover a broad range of topics. Some of them have been very influential and have changed the subject. For example, Problem 65 called for a notion of rank of nonpositively curved manifolds which extends the one for locally symmetric spaces, and asked whether higher rank metrics are locally symmetric metrics. This problem was completely solved by Ballmann, and Burns-Spatzier. The efforts to solve this problem have completely changed the subject of manifolds of nonpositive curvature which led to the notion of CAT(0)-spaces and CAT(0)-groups, and have attracted many people to work to understand geometry, topology and analysis of manifolds of nonpositive curvature. After the success of this list of open problems, Yau proposed another 100 open problems in 1992. This list has also had a huge influence on topics covered. For example, one problem can be stated as follows: Prove that a compact Kahler manifold with positive first Chern class admits a K¨ahler metric if and only if the manifold is stable in the sense of geometric invariant theory, the tangent bundle is stable as a bundle and the automorphism group is reductive. This problem has also inspired a huge amount of the most recent work in complex geom- etry and complex algebraic geometry by the top experts around the world. Yau also raised many problems in other papers and contexts. All these problems show the global perspective of Yau towards mathematics. More importantly, they teach generations of geometers (in the broadest sense) the importance to understand and appreciate connections between different parts of mathematics. Writing, Editing and Supervising. Besides several hundred research papers, Yau has written many influential survey papers and books. The paper Survey on partial differential equations in differential geometry, in Seminar on Differential Geometry, pp. 3–71, 1982, was the first major survey on geometric analysis. In some sense, it is the record of the first hand experience of this emerging subject by one of the most important practitioners. He has kept on writing many comprehensive surveys on differential geometry in the broadest sense. His joint book with Rick Schoen, Lectures on differential geometry goes directly to the most important and active topics of the subject and hence guides the reader to get into research quickly. It has educated generations of differential geometers and will continue to be an indispensable book for many years to come. It is important to note that Yau has supervised over 67 Ph.D. students up to now, and has reached out to mathematics students and mathematicians at various levels starting at high school through many mathematics centers, mathematics competitions and other initiatives organized by him. On top of all these research, teaching, writing, conferences and mathematics centers, Yau has also launched and edited many journals both in pure and applied mathematics. For example, he turned the Journal of Differential Geometry into a leading global journal which has published the best works of Simon Donaldson, Michael Friedman, Richard Hamilton, Rick Schoen etc. Conclusion. To put it simply, Yau is a man of mathematics. He is not only a geometer, an analyst, or mathematical physicist. He is a mathematician in the true and broadest sense. He is always devoted to creating and developing mathematics, and generously shares his ideas with others. It is safe to say that without his contributions, his vision and his writings, the broad subject of geometric analysis would not be in the current mature and satisfying state. Therefore, Yau belongs to the distinguished list of universal mathematicians in history such as Euler, Gauss, Riemann, Poincare, Hilbert, and Weyl.

The only packs of 50,000 that showed up are the ones I traded for.

Japanese Chi-Ha (Type 97) Medium Tank
World Tanks Depot 1:87 Scale Vehicle Review
World Tanks Depot's 1:87 scale Chi-Ha medium tank, painted olive green overall. The vehicle displays the white anchor badge and the Japanese naval ensign of a Chi-Ha tank belonging to an armoured unit of the Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces.
Good choice of subject, the Chi-Ha medium tank is unique in this scale.
The vehicle is sold fully assembled and painted in an overall olive green camouflage scheme, although a Japanese three-colour camouflage pattern might have been more attractive. The machine guns should be painted dark gun metal, not shiny silver.
The typical semi-circular radio antenna on the turret roof has not been modelled, and collectors may want to scratchbuild this vehicle part from plastic sprue or brass wire.
Compatible with other HO scale vehicles and miniatures available from Märklin, ROCO, Faller, Pola, Preiser, and Noch. World Tanks Depot's Chi-Ha medium tank is a good choice for collectors, diorama builders, and wargamers interested in raising Japanese forces in miniature.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The Wall Street Journal has a fun, Scroogey, contrarian piece today on iPad mania.
I agree with many of the points, like waiting until 2011 to buy the next iteration of the Jesus Tablet--it might be released in April--because it will probably be cheaper and better. I also agree with the assertion that Apple is now a luxury brand, up there with Tiffany and Hermes. And oh yeah, the lack of Flash is a big problem if you want to watch videos on the device.
But I don't agree with points 8 and 9, that iPad allows us to waste time web surfing and the device will get boring. Yes, we are an always on society, but we also have free will to turn off and tune out. RE boring: Don't think so. This is the future of computing. It's squashing netbooks, and will hurt laptops and PCs. The real question is, how much longer can Apple produce the hits?

I've been following a discussion on the A30 email list about bolts in the end of the boom that hold the sheet block and line. The A30 list doesn't allow pictures to be attached so I figured this was a good way to get a pix out there. I was at the boat yesterday and tried to figure out what the problem was and realized that some past owner had solved that problem on Slainte. Apparently the boats came from the factory with the sheet block attached to the end of the boom with a thru bolt. Over time that bolt will break. Not good if you are sheeted in with 15kns of wind!
This is the solution that a previous owner did. It would be my recomendation for all who still have the bolt in the boom.
Note the holes where the end cap had been secured to the boom. The big thru bolt takes care of that now.

Despite a more than two-year long fact-finding exercise, the super-secretive National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), entrusted with responsibility of gathering technical intelligence, is yet to find out who 'stole' sophisticated solar batteries from its high-security headquarters.
According to sources, the agency wasn't able to account for more than 40 solar batteries installed at its headquarters for lighting the agency compound.
"The issue came to light when the paramilitary force guarding the compound asked for better lighting arrangements and a check was done on batteries. During the exercise, only one battery out of the 45 thought to have been installed could be accounted for. Preliminary probe said the batteries may have been stolen from the compound but no theft report was lodged with police. An inquiry is on," said a government official requesting anonymity.
The official added that later, due to a thick layer of dust and cobwebs at the designated place, it was suspected that the batteries might not have been installed there at all.
"The cost of batteries may be only few lakhs but they disappearance from the high security compound or even non-installation raises many uncomfortable questions about the working of the agency under successive heads and it is still not known who is responsible for the lapse," said the official.
Due to controversies with procurement and recruitment in the agency, established after the Kargil war to augment country's technical intelligence gathering capabilities, the UPA government ordered an audit of the working of NTRO by the comptroller and auditor general (CAG).
It was the first ever CAG-audit on an intelligence agency in the country. Its report is yet to be released. Sources say despite the fact that batteries were not found in the compound or not even installed, their annual maintenance contract was given and executed too.

I think it's awful for a myriad of reasons.
Horrid controls and movements, color scheme that induces sensory deprivation and inferior, second hand story are some of them. It only reminds me that I should be playing a much better game - TR1.
Waiting for a good Fallout game almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. |

I literally abhor the Great Pyramid level. The original, Atlantis, is easily one of my favourite levels in TR1 and TRA's version stripped so much of its allure away quite like Cistern & Tomb of Tihocan.

I loved anniversary! I think a lot of the "hate" is just relating to how they changed stuff from TR1. As a standalone TR game, i think its best of the "legend/underworld" series...
If I am going to compare... Some of my favorite things about the new one was: The fire pillars in Midas, the entire Egypt section, and St. Francis. I know people hated the cistern/tihocan combo, but I didn't have a problem with it really, since in my opinion, Tihocan doesn't get interesting until you slide into the actual tomb (which was awesome in TRA)...before that, its just some cistern canals. I wasn't a fan of the T-rex boss fight as it should have felt much more terrifying, as mentioned earlier, atlantis was butchered, although Natla looked kinda cool. |

Awesome, Thanks everyone for letting me know that I am not alone in loving this game.
One thing I agree with everyone here is the fact that Atlantis was absolutely horrible. They cut out must of that section of the game, but the most infuriating part of Atlantis was the enemy's, you know, the ones with wings in the section of Atlantis with the timed switches where you had to climb all the way up to reach Natla. I hated that part with a passion because the timing of the switches was super fast, the camera angels were way off, I had to keep adjusting the camera or else Lara would just leap to her death, and I had to to do all of that while shooting and dodging those who shot those explosive balls of fire that literally threw Lara all the way across 10 football fields. I died many times in that area, especially since your also timed to kill those since the platform beneath your feet was gradually beginning to retract into the wall. I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to throw in all of that nonsense at the end, but it ruined and that entire section of the game. Last edited by charmedangelin; 09-05-16 at 18:10. |

I really liked Anniversary, I thought it was the sequel to Legend back then.
I like TR1 as well, but I prefer Anniversary, as it's not as long and not that boring at times. (TR1 can be pretty magical though when certain music starts playing, but this only when played on the Playstation version, don't know why I like that one more) Anniversary was at some times actually challenging; I never got why people where so bad with the Adrenaline Jump thing, it was so easy for me. I basically like all Tomb Raider games, no matter from what company they're from. |

Wow! thats exactly what I think, though the camera angles on pc (especially lost island) had me screaming with frustration and agony, especially the part where you have to do the grappling jumps and its timed then she misses and burns in lava, so much rage! |

Western Skies, September 5, 2010: "Agriculture"
We all need to eat, and in this episode of Western Skies, we attempt to connect you with the people who produce our food. From community supported agriculture to traditional ranching, we've talked to people involved with this basic necessity, and bring you their stories.
You can download the full episode, or listen to it here:
You can also head to the individual segments for the audio, full conversations, and visuals:

Commentary: Preparing Bees for Winter
Western Skies is a collaboration between KRCC News and The Big Something.
Conventional/Mainstream Agriculture Roundtable
We're going to begin with a roundtable discussion from a few people involved in what might be considered mainstream or more traditional agriculture. KRCC's Michelle Mercer sat down with Shawn Martini of the Colorado Farm Bureau, 4th generation Lincoln County rancher Charles Hoffman, and Emily Lockard from the Colorado State University extension office in Pueblo.
Download the piece as aired, or listen here:
Here's the full conversation, available for download, or listening online (about 43 minutes):
In this roundtable, Shawn Marinti references the Mountain Plover as an example of cooperation between conservationists and ranchers. Michelle Mercer has this look at the Mountain Plover, a story on agritourism that aired in the inaugural edition of Western Skies on tourism (June, 2010):
South of Colorado Springs, near the county line between El Paso and Pueblo, on the east side of Fountain Creek, Jay Frost works the land. Craig Richardson traveled there and spoke with Frost. He has this profile…and please note that Frost has aphasia which affects his speaking abilities.
Local agriculture takes on many different forms, and some consumers choose to purchase memberships to CSAs, some go to farmers markets, and some check the supermarkets for products produced in the state. Craig Richardson sat down with some folks in the area looking to promote local agriculture to talk about their efforts. Here he is with Larry Stebbins from Pikes Peak Urban Gardens, Michele Mukatis from Peak to Plains and Cultivate Health, and Michael Hannigan, CEO of the Pikes Peak Community Foundation, which runs Venetucci Farm.

Here's the full conversation available for download, or you can listen online (about 37 minutes):
[nggallery id=3]
4H has been in Colorado for 100 years, and the organization has come a long way during the last century in this state. Most people associate 4H with agriculture, but their mission of teaching life skills is a little more philosophical than the actual means. KRCC's Shanna Lewis spent a few days at the state fair to see how the group is evolving.
Download the piece here, or listen online:
Many young people who grew up in cities are now moving to rural areas to try ranching and farming. As Noel Black reports, even some of the people you'd least expect are taking to the plows.

Prototype Mobile Slaughter Unit's Debut
(image courtesy of the Nebraska Environmental Action Coalition)
For many ranchers, there's little choice for where to sell your cattle if they want to control the distribution or sell the butchered meat themselves. KRCC's Noel Black visited a ranch in northwestern Kansas near the Colorado border where a small group of people is taking small steps to change that. Warning to listeners, some of the sounds and descritions in this piece are graphic.

Prototype Mobile Slaughter Unit's Debut
Postscript: Megan Pusey, Director of Communications for the National Cattleman's Beef Association, an industry trade group, says the units are too new to make any substantive comment, but that their main concern is always to make sure safety parameters are ensured at this level as they would be at larger meat packing operations.
[nggallery id=4]
Whether traditional, organic or natural, the way Colorado farmers grow food continues to change throughout the state. One of those evolutions comes in CSAs, or Community Supported Agriculture farms, that have emerged over the last 25 years. KRCC's Ellen Mahoney has this look at the CSA model.

Slideshow includes photos from Monroe Organic Farms (CSA) and the Munson Farm and Market.
Commentary: Preparing Bees for Winter
Donna Hartley and her husband, John, own Black Forest Honey. They maintain 150 hives east of Colorado Springs. Donna has this anecdote about what happens when the weather gets cooler, and how experienced beekeepers deal with the situation.

It struck me this year that I have had the same type of rental skis since my 2nd ever ski trip, so wondering if I'm still getting the right stuff (living a minimum 6 hours journey, including a plane, from any sort of ski area makes buying skis an unappealing option, but have my own boots).
I always go for the option 1 above beginners skis, and they always offer a choice of skier type 1 - 3, where I pick 2.
I love to ski single blacks and spend some time in double black terrain (not very good on moguls but I try). I like to ski in bowl areas and love the trees, and will go for small hikes to obviously safe powder areas, but I'm not into jumping off rocks or anything that far removed from piste skiing. Having said that I probably only spend maybe 25% of my time in this sort of terrain, more usually I am on the groomed pistes (partly because that's where my skiing friends prefer to be).
Not trying to big up my skiing ability in any way, but just wanting to make sure I am getting the most appropriate skis!

HDFC Life as a responsible & accountable corporate has always been open & receptive to changing requirements of the Society/Community, socio-economic situations and/or compliance required by statute. In the light of Companies Act, 2013, HDFC Life reviewed its CSR policy, processes & framework to make it compliant to mandated CSR guidelines. Apart from being compliant, past experience, opinions of stakeholders and societal needs were also considered in the process of revision CSR policy & framework.
The new CSR framework focuses on the following 5 areas of intervention, which are in line with Schedule VII of Companies Act 2013 and beyond business as usual.
HDFC Life believes that every individual is entitled to the Right to Education. In addition to educating masses by providing training as per prescribed curriculum, it is very essential to generate financial awareness among masses, which will help them manage their fund flow effectively and sustainably. HDFC Life wishes to accomplish this through initiatives designed around building financial literacy across various marginalized, poor, deprived & backward groups, spreading awareness on the need for saving and insurance to enable a life free of financial distress in unforeseen circumstances. HDFC Life also aims to undertake initiatives that will enhance the educational status of marginalized, poor, deprived & backward sections of society.
Unemployment and lack of a stable source of income very often result from skill-requirement mismatch that arises due to lack of adequate training facilities that the marginalized population can access. To reduce the resulting distress, HDFC Life endeavors to conduct skill-based and vocational trainings in various fields, including insurance, thus enabling marginalized, poor, deprived & backward sections of the population to be equipped to earn a stable livelihood.
Ensuring Environmental Sustainability
HDFC Life has always advocated the 4 R's of Reduce, Recycle, Reuse and Recharge to reduce negative impacts on the environment. HDFC Life shall undertake the program/projects with specific beneficiaries in alignment to its 4 R philosophy for creating a positive impact on environmental sustainability.
Rural Development
Being an insurance company, HDFC Life understands the importance of timely & effective support for people in times of emergency especially in rural areas. Incorporating this understanding in our CSR initiative, HDFC Life aims to set aside a part of its CSR budget for rehabilitation & relief of people affected by natural disaster (Earthquake, flood/flash flood, tsunami, cyclone, cloud burst or any other disaster caused by natural phenomenon) or any other unforeseen calamity (mass displacement caused by internal or external conflicts, industrial accidents, other manmade disasters or any other calamity/contingency caused due to human actions).
Being in the business of insuring lives, HDFC Life understands and cherishes the importance of health and considers it extremely important to make people value their own health and that of their people around them. By conducting awareness campaigns across various regions and stakeholder groups and undertaking relevant projects, HDFC Life aims to be the driver of health initiatives for diverse beneficiary groups.
HDFC Life™ Click 2 Protect Plus
Mr. Ghag joined HDFC Life in September 2009 and has been spearheading the Human Resource function since then. Before HDFC Life, he was associated with DHL Express as Head of HR for India and Senior Advisor - Quality and Processes (First Choice Programme) for South Asia. He was one of the important members of the board and has travelled extensively across the globe as a trainer as well as a participant of various management conferences.
View Complete ProfileA critical aspect of a retirement plan is how and where to invest. The assets you choose to invest will vary depending on several factors, which include your risk tolerance and investment time horizon.
According to a study by the Insured Retirement Institute, only a few women consider becoming financial planners because they deem the job stressful and uninteresting. The time has come to stop relying on someone else for financial security. Financial planning is nothing but determining short and long-term financial goals, and creating a balance to meet these goals.
Swabhimaan Careers is one of HDFC Life's strategic initiatives to build long-term customer relationships. The overall objective of insurance is to compensate the financial loss caused due to untimely death of a bread winner.
The Vision and the Mission continue to be relevant and set out aspirations for an organization. But the question that an organization needs to ask is how do they get there? Is it possible to define a 'decision architecture' that guides actions of each employee?
For millions of people in India, the concept of life insurance still remains a mystery. Thanks to the new media channels, more and more people are becoming aware of the significance of life insurance. For those, who wish to develop fundamental understanding of the concept of life insurance, here is a quick snapshot.
Consumer is king. With the shifting of focus on the goods and services reaching out to the consumer rather than the other way round, Mobile learning embodies just that, by taking training not just to the doorstep but also to the learner in person. Just as an individual is empowered to carry his office with him at all times, M Learning empowers him to carry his training program with him, shattering the barriers of space and time.
Reinsurance is an insurance that is purchased by an Insurance company from one or more other insurance companies to manage the risk. Reinsurance helps in transfer of risk from one insurance company to another. It is also called "insurance for insurers" or "stop-loss insurance".

Parents using disposable diapers need a Diaper Genie. It's like a little trashcan that creates plastic-cased sausages out of each new load your baby creates. I've been getting a week's worth of diapers into mine from my 8-month old. The great thing is that since the diapers are enclosed within individual sausage links, the smell of dirty diaper doesn't fill the room you change your baby in.

Has anyone had experience of these speakers?
I may have an opportunity to buy a number of them cheaply. The general design appeals, but I've never heard them, and won't have an opportunity before making an offer. Any comments? |

Without doubt the HL1 is the worst speaker I've ever owned, garbage drive units looks so cool too! I'd seriously advise you to pass, I bought a pair after David Prakel in Hi-Fi Answers passed favourable comment on them, he could not have heard them.

I wouldn't go as far as Calvert, but they are fairly average. As with all these things though, it depends on how much they want for them!

Well, I was doing some A/V work in a church hall the other day, and there was a scruffy Lecson being used as a table. I remarked on it to the caretaker, who said that they had several of them knocking around doing nothing!
I was thinking of making them an offer |

I am thinking about heading over to fish Dry Falls/Lenore with my kids the first week of April. Can a trailered 14' rowboat be launched at Dry Falls? Also, what can we expect the fishing to be like in the first week of April? Thanks Mike
You can do it.. there's not really a "launch" but it can be done. The first week will fish great, but you will be with about 500 other people.
No sweat. I've launched my 16 foot drift boat there. Cronies under indicators and damsel nymphs in the shallows should do it. When the wind kicks up, and it will, head to/stay at Dry Falls. Don
The last half-mile of road is rough, but two-wheel drive can handle it. Finding room to turn around, launch and park may be the greater problem. It's easier to start out in a shallow-draft boat than in a float tube, through the feet of thick muck near the launch area.

"Now that I meandered over to YouTube, it's equally fascinating how many NEGATIVE NDEs there are." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-v1Fppjlvc&feature=relat...... "Art, do you pay much attention to people's visits to Hell?" - catherine ----------------- It's like riding in a roller coaster. Some people love them and some people are terrified. Negative NDE's are a byproduct of fear. If you are fearful that is what you will feel. What is interesting is that if it lasts long enough most fearful/negative NDE's turn positive. When a person calls out for the Light the experience turns positive. Artie |

Michael Straczynski's writing is crisp and keeps the story moving -- he's clearly not trying to "rewrite" the original Moore material, but instead builds off on it." "Mtv Geek"" Read more...

Phylogeography of Pediobius saulius (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae), a parasitoid of the highly invasive horse-chestnut leafminerAntonio Hernández-López, Rodolphe Rougerie, Sylvie Augustin, David C Lees, Rumen Tomov, Marc Kenis +6 othersEvolutionary applications2012Classical biological control is often advocated as a tool for managing invasive species. However, accurate evaluations of parasitoid species complexes and assessment of host specificity are impeded by the lack of morphological variation. Here, we study the possibility of host races/species within the eulophid wasp Pediobius saulius, a pupal generalist… (More)
