It seems like just yesterday we were all moving into our apartments at Bedford Place. Having been in Europe for six weeks already when we moved in, another seven seemed like it may last a lifetime. I was wrong. Time flies when you're having fun.
Our time in London brought us many experiences and opportunities. First, during London Week, we visited a handful of engaging and helpful alumni doing everything from investment real estate to political risk insurance underwriting. Next, we got the chance to learn about the UK from an exceptional professor, Dr. Blick. In addition, we all worked an internship where we learned to deal with coworkers, bosses, and busy work. We learned about pub culture and English idiosyncrasies as well. We traveled to Bath, Oxford, and Edinburgh with Sara. We tasted this food and that food in Borough Market. We even walked through the House of Lords. When I look back, we did a lot, and I think we did a great job of making the most of our time in London.
One part of our experience I'll never forget was the Brexit. In 30 years, I bet we look back and tell people "I was there for that." The vote will have numerous consequences, some good, some bad. It will be interesting to see the impact of the vote over the next few months, especially after we've learned so much about the issues with Dr. Blick.
Even after a busy seven weeks (a "lifetime"), I feel like we just scratched the surface of the city of London. I've never spent a long amount of time in a place with so much going on. If anything, I
think this sentiment makes for a good excuse to visit again sometime in the future. I look forward to that occasion.

A brief manifesto, plus SC's Weds.
Something to consider.
Turkey, bacon, and cheddar melt sandwich, with a dollop of Boar's Head deli mustard, made in my Foreman.
This was a staple of my diet in NYC. I made it then and make it now in a futile effort to replicate a sandwich I often ordered from the Dunster House Grill. Something's missing, but I don't know what. The general greasiness that permeated everything in the DHG?
2 cups Capresso cappuccino
Beef chili from Doughboy's. I'd been wondering what lunch place we sometimes order from that I hate the chili at, and today I was reminded - it's the nasty, thick, sickly/tainted beef chili at Doughboy's.
Baby greens salad from Doughboy's.
Hot dog from the hot dog cart lady on Wilshire and Masselin. Her excessive kindness and professionalism makes me feel I ought to visit her from time to time.
1 can, Barq's root beer.
1 chocolate chip and nut cookie from Doughboy's.
Small sip of Calvados
3 tumblers Jameson Irish whiskey over ice.
#6 Combo (popcorn chicken, potato wedges, Pepsi) from KFC.
I haven't been to Popeye's in probably 4 years, and in that time KFC has changed a lot. Popeye's is on the way to Lost Club, so I got to thinking. How had Popeye's responded to the Twister and popcorn chicken revolutions? However I soon found myself in poor driving condition, but with fried chicken on the mind, so I walked to KFC.
1 Smirnoff vodka and lemon-lime Gatorade
1 Bud Light

birth of a child - always a joy for young parents.But sometimes it may be overshadowed by the disease.Especially if its causes and consequences are not clear at all.Not only are a lot of questions, but a real panic among parents causes swelling of the scrotum and its blueness of the skin of the boy.
hydrocele (hydrocele) - single- or double-sided pathological process in which fluid accumulates in the scrotum.
Sometimes hydrocele accompanied by other diseases: inguinal hernia, lymphocele (accumulation of lymph in the scrotum as a result of pressure or trauma limfososudov) lymphostasis eggs (stagnant lymph) and funikulotsele (dropsy of the spermatic cord). Content
testicles in the fetus are in the abdomen and descend into the scrotum aroundseventh month of development, while drawing with a thin film of the connective tissue, peritoneum, which lines the inside of the cavity in the baby's tummy.This forms a pocket.Normally, it must be closed before the birth or within the first months of life, but sometimes it does not.Next, the mechanism of accumulation of fluid depends on the type of hydrocele, which can be isolated or reported.
When communicating hydrocele peritoneal fluid goes into the pocket of the processus vaginalis, which connects the abdomen and scrotum.In most cases this process to one and a half years may close on their own, but still let the disease take its course does not.
When an isolated hydrocele fluid produced by the tunica vaginalis testis.Normally, it is necessary to ensure that the egg to move freely inside the scrotum.At the same time strike a balance between its generation and absorption.If it is broken, the liquid begins to accumulate, and there is a hydrocele.
Conditionally causes of hydrocele can be divided into two major groups: congenital and acquired.
Congenital hydrocephalus malformation is considered small and is not related to the mutation of genes.For it is characteristic of the type of mechanism of communicating.Cleft vaginal process (embryonic disturbances) occurs for many reasons:
also hydrocele may occur as a result of constant high intra-abdominal pressure that accompanies a number of pathological processes:
secondary hydrocele testes or reactive hydrocele, for which in most cases is characterized by unregulated development mechanismmay occur in the following cases:
Dropsy testicular received a classification in several directions.
Depending on how open or closed the vaginal canal, distinguish:
Depending on the pressure of the fluid in the scrotum:
Depending on the process flow:
without the need to treat an acute process can easily become chronic.
Localization distinguished:
Depending on the reasons:
Most often parents reveal dropsy during the hygienic measures.Can detect the disease and the surgeon during routine inspection of the baby.The child is a condition often do not bother, no pain, no discomfort.
most common symptoms of hydrocele can be called the increase in the scrotum on one or both sides in size and cyanosis of her skin.Swelling in the groin area may indicate a hernia or other co-morbid conditions.
When injury occurs scrotal pain, while secondary hydrocele infection occur more severe symptoms:
reported hydrocele can resize and tension during the day, while the isolated hydrocephalus increases gradually.
is especially dangerous when the disease occurs in adolescence.Boys often shy to tell their parents about their problems and lead to the development of disease complications.
Diagnosis of hydrocele is not too much trouble, and consists of several stages:
This inspection is carried out in standing and lying, as it will help you understand what type of hydrocele is communicating or isolated.Typically, in a prone position communicating hydrocele is reduced in size.On this form may indicate hydrops and its increase during coughing, as there is increased intra-abdominal pressure.
Liquid is always good light transmission, while the tumor or gland, and part of the intestine with the inguinal-scrotal hernia will detain him.
hydrocele treatment method depends on the nature and causes of the disease.
Physiological dropsy simply observe.This waiting game, as the children under one year of hydrocele could pass on their own.Thus the only thing that is required of the parents - a warning colds and digestive disorders as sneezing, coughing and vomiting caused a sharp jump in intra-abdominal pressure.This, in turn, contributes to a rush of liquid in the scrotum.
When purchasing hydrocele should first carry out treatment of the underlying disease that caused the disease.
Thus, when post-traumatic hydrocele to relieve swelling and pain show non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Dolar, Fanigan, Ibuprofen, Movalis, Paracetamol, Diclofenac, Nurofen, etc.), And for infectious - a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, a further antivirals or antibiotics (Augmentin, Flemoksin, tsiprinol, Abaktal et al.).
edema in isolated operation carried Winckelmann, or Lord Bergman (if the child is older than 12 years), as well as a puncture.On the scrotum in place projection dropsy incision, egg output through the wound out, aspirated liquid and dissect the tunica vaginalis.
In step Winckelmann this shell turn inside out and stitch.Then all the liquid will be absorbed produced surrounding tissues.Further, all sewn in layers, the wound is a small rubber drain to drain the blood.
When Bergman operation, which is carried out at a hydrocele large and thick shells, processus vaginalis simply excised from its inception, and the remnants sheathe special seams.Then egg sinks back into the scrotum, and all layers sutured, and the wound remains small drainage.
Unlike the two previous operations, the operation of the least traumatic Lord, because they do not want to display the egg into the wound.Consequently, not injured testicle surrounding tissue and blood vessels.The very simple corrugated tunica vaginalis and sutured.
reported dropsy treated with the Ross operation, in which the wiring neatly bandaged processus vaginalis in the internal inguinal ring and cut.Then in the tunica vaginalis is formed an opening for the outflow of fluid from the scrotum.
Operation posttraumatic hydrocephalus shows after 3-6 months after the injury, but until then you only need to observe.At this time, sometimes a reducing (reduced in size) hydrocele.
Indications for surgery before the age of two:
tense edema is treated only by surgery.And the sooner the better.This condition requires a puncture, which resulted in all of the liquid is removed.But it does not guarantee that the effusion appears again.
Surgical treatment of congenital hydrocele is carried out in 1.5-2 years.It is only necessary if the edema persists for a long time.The greater its size, the operation must be done quickly.
child should be healthy, recovering from colds and other diseases take some time (but not less than one month), so that the body become stronger.Before the surgery, you must pass a general analysis of blood and urine tests, and six hours before surgery little patient can not eat anything or drink.
technical operations difficult.Calibration is done under general anesthesia (although intervention under local anesthesia, the doctor is easier to control), and the possible introduction of additional pain medication into a vein.During the operation, it is sure to controlled breathing and heartbeat.It lasts about forty minutes and can be performed on an outpatient basis.Immediately after surgery the wound for two hours put ice bag, whereupon the physician carefully places the suspensory bandage suspensory.
A few hours later the child already will be let go with my mother home.In the evening the kid can have a drink and a little later to eat.
Due to general anesthesia in a child is not in the form of emotional stress tools strangers in white coats and a strange smell.Also, there will be and unpleasant memories of the procedure.
Transient symptoms of pain and discomfort, it is best to eliminate the conventional NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol.
after each diaper change suture is recommended to treat with antiseptic (Chlorhexidine, Betadine, etc.).
If the wound stitches of non-absorbable material, a week to go to the doctor and take them off.
next check-up child must go through a month.
avoid postoperative complications mother should strictly comply with all recommendations of the surgeon.
easiest method of treatment.It is puncture dropsy and pumping fluid out of it.The effect of the treatment is very short, and always leads to relapse of the disease.
fairly new method of treatment in which the disease relapses do not exceed the threshold of 1%.The essence of this method is to remove the liquid from the shells and the introduction in its place sclerosing agents, such as Betadine or alcohol.They cause non-infectious (aseptic) tissue inflammation with subsequent coalescence that leads to the complete disappearance of the cavity where fluid accumulate.
When untimely begun treatment and chronically flowing process often develop complications:
Congenital hydrocephalus often goes alone.
Surgical competently performed surgery helps get rid of the disease and avoid complications.
In most cases, when time begun treatment the prognosis is favorable.This hydrocele does not affect reproductive function in the future.
Preventive measures are to prevent inflammatory diseases and injuries of the genitourinary system.A regular inspection of the genital organs parents of the baby.But with teenagers would be appropriate to carry out a delicate conversation about the disease in order to avoid numerous, often irreversible complications.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The deal struck earlier this week that will send forward Luc Mbah a Moute from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Sacramento Kings for two second-round draft picks is complete.
The Kings announced the trade Friday.
The 6-foot-8, 230-pound forward has emerged as a standout defender since he was drafted 37th overall out of UCLA by the Bucks in 2008. He has averaged 6.9 points and 5.3 rebounds in 25.1 minutes per game in his career.
Mbah a Moute has two years left on a four-year deal worth about $19 million that he signed as a restricted free agent before the lockout-shorted 2011-12 season. That move came when Milwaukee matched the offer sheet from Denver, where new Kings general manager Pete D'Alessandro worked in the front office at the time.

You took me camping, canoeing and fishing and taught me to bait the hook and not be afraid of the worms. You called them "little fellas" and said they wouldn't hurt me. You gave me my first bike at age 5 and I vividly remember you teaching me to ride it in the back yard on Niagara street. You sang old songs with us and taught us all the words to "Buffalo girl won't you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon. " I remember your Mustang and all the...

From the final numbers on the scoreboard at Quicken Loans Arena on Monday night to the grim anonymous quotes from players in stories published in early Tuesday morning, the consensus is clear: The Cleveland Cavaliers, as presently constructed, won't beat the Golden State Warriors. Friend of the show and longtime Cavs fan Nick Carrabine is back on The Nail as the guys discuss what has happened to J.R. Smith, Isaiah Thomas' fit and whether he's playable against Golden State, and whether Ty Lue is getting the most out of this Cavs roster.
Plus: The Cavs have assets, but in the face of what looks like increasingly long championship odds, is there a deal out there worth gambling on with a summer of uncertainty for the franchise ahead?

First, tornadoes when it is technically Winter, then a blizzard when it is Spring, and now more tornadoes. Geesh! Throw in my friend getting raped and the accident... all within three weeks.
This is a rainbow that showed up after the storms hit last night. Perhaps it was a sign that I need to keep looking on the bright side of things. Like I am alive and have a roof over my head. Or perhaps it is merely water droplets diverting the sunlight's spectrum of colors.
Last night I was not home when the storm went through, and neither were my parents. There were some shingles blown off both roofs, and some tree limbs down. Plus no power. This set of storms was not nearly as bad as the one three weeks ago, but it hit in a more widespread area. And there were more casualties than the last storm.
Being the karaoke addict that I am, I was out at the Irish singing with my friends, which by now basically includes the whole bar. The Irish is in a pretty small town close to my hometown. As per bar code for watering holes in Tornado Alley, anytime there is severe weather headed our direction, it is a must to leave one of the TVs on a local weather station. I kept eyeballing the TV, and the storms cells that were brewing looked wicked.
Being the freak that I am, as soon as I heard the sirens screaming a little past 6PM, I ran outside sans flipflops to see if I could spot funnel clouds or a tornado. Much to my delight, there were two funnel clouds, and MASSIVE rotation about half the size of the town I was in (population 500, give or take a few). I watched the two funnel clouds suck back up into the clouds, on their way to hit hard a little North of where I was at. As soon as I felt the temperature change and the drop in barometric pressure when the rotation started passing over us, I turned around and booked it back into the bar, leaving everyone else wondering why I was running.
Then the non-weather wise gawkers piled back into the bar, soaked from the onslaught of rain that I knew was coming next. Oh, the joys of knowing a little meteorology.
The sirens went off twice more after that, and we even got some nice sized hail. Fun times in Tornado Alley.
Need to smile and go "Awww..." head over to Shayna's.
Speaking of Shayna, remember to grab your party hats and put on your dancin' shoes, because we have a birthday to celebrate Tuesday!!

Thursday, June 11th.
Today we got to sleep in a little longer than usual as we weren't going to visit any projects. There were some people in our group who would have their fun day with their sponsored children today so they and some of their families were able to come with us on our sightseeing adventures. The first stop was a park in Huancayo. We had a local tour guide with us. It's very hard to stay together as a group when you have so many people plus a large park to explore! While we were there, there was a large group of school children there also. As background, they don't see large groups of Americans and/or tourists in that town very often so we were celebrities somewhat. They love having their picture taken so they were in many of our pictures! See below. I had a group of girls that wanted their pictures taken in various locations. I do know enough Spanish to say "uno mas" so that I indicated it was the last one! After I took pictures and let them see, they were nice enough to hug and kiss me and say thank you. I'm tellin' ya, I can't get enough of that. So sweet!!
At one point, I was talking to a group of maybe 5 kids and realized that it had turned into more like 20 kids asking me how to say various Spanish words in English. I'll tell ya, it was a good test of my limited Spanish skills!
After that I made my way around the park taking pictures of my friends, more kids, and flowers. The park had a lot of historical statues and areas that talked about Huancayo's history. I wish I could have stayed with the tour guide, but I still feel like I had a good time and enjoyed the beauty of the park.
Suddenly, I noticed that there was a huge crowd around Will, one of the younger guys traveling with us. I laughed because he was popular wherever he went. A lot of the girls like him, I think, because he resembles J. Bieber a little bit. I was no sooner done laughing then there were kids surrounding me wanting me to sign their notebooks! It was the most surreal thing!
Here are some additional pics of the park and the gorgeous flowers there!
Almost the entire park consisted of fountains, but unfortunately, they were doing roadwork all around it so I imagine that's why the fountains were shut off. It's a shame because I'm sure it's gorgeous when they're on!
Soon we had to walk back to our bus (a big charter bus this time with nice comfy seats) and head to our next stop. I wasn't sure what that was, but it was probably a good 20 or 30 minutes through some very windy mountain roads. So curvy that the bus had to honk going around them to warn anybody on the other side that we were coming! At one point, we were literally going down a mountain road a little ways, turning 180 degrees, and then doing the same thing at least 4 or 5 times.
Here was our next stop:
We were treated to a live demonstration of how the artisan carver produced his carvings. Basically, he took a dried gourd and carved it with a small tool. After that, he would take a hot, ashen quinoa stalk and blow on the end to control how darkly it burned the gourd. Here is the progression:
He's 73 years old and has been doing this basically his whole life. I believe he was 4th or 5th generation, I'm not sure. They had a shop full of really cool stuff! Some of the works had intricate carvings and then were black/gray all over. He accomplished this effect by carving the gourd first, then covering it in animal grease, and then coating it in Ichu ashes. Then he wipes it off with water. The ashes remain stained on the gourd. It's really a beautiful effect. They also dye some of the gourds with natural dyes.
They had all kinds of stuff in the shop, but here is just a sampling:
I think he had to make a killing off of our business! I've never seen so many people go crazy for gourds! I got my fair share too so it was a great time! They also had these little bird whistles that sound like birds when you blow through them. Some of the sponsored children with us got those as gifts. I'm so glad there was a "not on the bus" rule about them.
I think we left the shop around 2 PM or so. We were starving! We then headed to a neat restaurant by a river even further in the mountains! Let me just tell you that I've never seen bus driving skills like I did on this trip. This bus driver (and his assistant) navigated this massive bus through tiny towns with one lane roads! It was like nothing I've ever seen. At one point, I think there was less than 2 feet of clearance between the bus and the nearest wall and/or house! Fortunately, we didn't encounter much traffic. Finally, we arrived.
We even had Coke in glass bottles! I think they make these in the US again, but only very recently, I think. Still, it was novel to me.
For the record, I don't even like Coke. (Usually Diet or nothing.) The Peruvians like everything so sweet though that it tastes like Pepsi, which I do like. They don't use artificial sweeteners there or corn syrup. Sprite didn't taste normal either. It tasted a lot like Sierra Mist. I drank a lot of Fanta on this trip, too. I think sugar kept us going half the time!
There were some chickens wandering around. I guess they aren't the ones used for the chicken that we had though. The chicken we had was wonderful! It reminded me a lot of a tenderloin. They pounded it flat and fried it!
Rachel and I ran (literally) out to the road to get a picture of these guys.
So apparently they grow a lot of artichokes in Peru.
Exhibit A.
The restaurant owners (I think) also had a parrot that just hung out in his own little tree nearby.
Before I forget, here are a few shots of the flowers that were also at this restaurant:
After some of our group went down to the river to test their luck of not falling in, we then visited some friendly cows at an ice cream factory. The cows were okay, but the ice cream was great!
It was off to the hotel after ice cream. We would have an early start the next morning as we were flying back to Lima!

We had a really great holiday weekend – I didn't get pictures of everything, but I did get some pictures…
Saturday morning Party Boy went over to his Mom's house to help put in thier fence, while the kids and I did our Saturday morning chores. About eleven, MIL called to see if we wanted to come out Sunday evening for a fish fry and fireworks – Sure! Then, the Panda family invited us for luch on Memorial Day. Tell you what, our weekend was filling up fast!
Saturday afternoon I cut Captain Chaos' hair and also shaved the dog. Not with the same trimmers. And, to give credit where credit is due, Party Boy did some clean-up trimming around the ears and neck on Chaos. He's better at these little boy haircuts.
Saturday evening the girls and I made kabobs for the grill. Super easy and super tasty. The recipe is here if you want it!
Sunday we were up early because Party Boy had a study group meeting before church. Then we….went to church! 🙂 After church it was lunch at California Pizza Kitchen and then to meet my parents. We all went to see Shrek: Forever After in IMAX 3D. Really cool, but also a bit pricey. I haven't really decided if all the 3D stuff is worth it. Then it was shopping for a birthday gift for Hollywood.
That evening we went to the fish fry and fireworks.
We slept in on Monday morning and then headed out to Panda family's house for lunch. It was super yummy and the kids had a ton of fun playing in the pool.
And us. 🙂

There is a lot of awful out there. Awful Books. Horrible Movies. Television that makes you cringe. But sometimes they hit the wall of awful and spring back and land in a magical valley of Awful Good. I spend my spare time roaming this strange and dangerous realm searching for hidden gems, and tearing apart everything else. Nothing is safe.

Book Review: Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh
I am some issues but nothing major. I don't connect to the romance, something it just a little bit off about it. It feels a little bit more like a guardian and minor relationship than a romantic one. Its a bit forced. We all know about the age difference and the characters never stop talking about it. Sienna really doesn't hold her own against Hawke, not in a real way. He sounds like her dad some times and she acts like an angry teen which is what she is.
There is a side romance between the healer Lara and the teacher Walker that has way more depth and and emotion but is only given a couple of chapters. I wish they had a full book because there is so much more going on because Walker has a daughter and had some serious damage done by the girl's mom. I want more of them.
On the other hand I loved the fact that we finally got to see Sasha have her baby and it was a great moment. I am now really interested in what is going on about The Ghost and the war with in the Psy.
I am sad. I wanted to love this book. I tried to love this book. But I just had a funny tasting mouth when it was over.

I mean just about everything is in bloom! Both of these photos are of the large front island bed. It is anchored by a maple and cherry tree at either end, and the center is filled with day lilies, cone flowers, and other perennials. Just ignore the stray weed and clumps of grass....I do right now.
I've spent a lot more time on the porch---directing Sir Old Man as he did some yard maintenance for me. Still the day lilies and cone flowers and peonies need to be divided. He just trimmed back the rosemary, and I have to rinse some pieces for him to chop and freeze.
It is day 50 of the shoulder event....that translates to 7 weeks. The word for this week is painful. At PT, my therapist worked on my neck muscles which are one big knot from wearing the sling.... and causing me to have back spasms also. So I have not been very productive this week at all....mainly staring at "the wall".
Insight: The wall, like in hitting the wall...not the design wall. It is the stopping point, that mental block that stops you in your tracks and makes you doubt yourself and your abilities, and it saps your inner strength. That wall. Dig deep inside yourself. Avoid it like the plague!
One bright spot has been here. I think bloggers are a special breed. They love to send neat emails, and leave kind comments, and send soft, squishy packages to others. They share their travels and their trials, seek to help and to learn, and never ask for anything in return. Blogland is a very special place. Thanks for dropping in to my corner of the world. I promise to return to normal soon. Happy stitching.

How was I to know that working part time in a flower shop sweeping floors and washing buckets would turn into my career? After just a couple of short months I showed a talent I never knew I had. I decided to go to school and completed a three year Floristry degree. I then went on to master in Wedding Design. There has since been no stopping me. From your basic wedding bouquet to the most elaborate of events my passion seems to hold no bounds.

So, there has been quite a flurry of activity here that I haven't had time to report on. I don't have photos from any of this, so I'll try to be relatively brief.
First of all, on Wednesday the 18th we had a progress session for my group, the EEP (Evolution and Ecology Program), where I presented my research results for the summer for the first time. It was a mad rush up to the last minute, analyzing data and making plots and preparing slides, but I got it done, and it went well. Whew! My results are still quite preliminary and need to be interpreted and understood better, but it looks like the work I've done this summer will make a solid first publication for my PhD career. Yay!
Later the same day was IIASA's annual triathlon. I had considered bicycling in it, but I decided I was too stressed out with the presentation earlier and couldn't deal with it, which was the right choice. I was one of the two official timekeepers for it, though, which was quite fun. I was really impressed by the athleticism of my colleagues; I'm pretty sure I couldn't have completed the swimming part at all, and the running and biking parts looked pretty strenuous too. Respect. It was fun cheering people across the finish line, and fun going to a heuriger for the after-party!
There was a YSSP feedback session the next morning that was long but worthwhile. About fifteen people showed up, not a bad turnout considering we were all buried in work, and we talked for a good three hours and change. It was worthwhile because I felt that we were really listened to and our views were respected. The YSSP is a very important thing for IIASA, and they take it quite seriously.
There was a birthday dinner party for Arame that evening, which was yummy Indian food. I was given all the leftovers from the whole party (which was quite a lot!) and threw my own little back-patio Indian food party with them the following night. Both were a great parties with fabulous food, and it was really fun watching Arame's interactions with her little sister, who was visiting her from Senegal. Thanks Arame!
The next day over lunch was the start of a shogi game between myself and a researcher at IIASA in the EEP group, Åke Brännström. Shogi is a traditional Japanese board game related to chess. Åke is, I think, the first person I've ever met who plays it, and he had a short book on it that I read at the beginning of the summer. After that, we met up a couple of times over the course of the summer, over lunch, to play. The first couple of games I got squashed quite thoroughly, but I used to play chess pretty seriously, so I adjusted reasonably quickly. The game we started this day didn't get finished until about a week later, because other things got in the way, but I won it in the end. My first shogi win! The differences between shogi and chess are really fascinating. It has a much more dangerous, unpredictable feel to it (mostly because pieces that get captured become the possession of the capturer, and can be dropped back onto the board at any location on any later turn in the game, but also because your king is less securely protected, and because your pawn structure is less defended because pawns can't protect each other). Shogi also has a much more local feel to the interactions between the pieces; you have only one rook and one bishop, and no queen, basically (glossing over lances, which are relatively useless), so your ability to reach across the whole length of the board is severely limited. Replacing those pieces are "generals" of two types that can only move to squares immediately adjacent to them — like the king in chess, but actually even less powerful, because they can only move to a subset of the adjacent squares). This makes the game flow very differently. It can easily happen that one player has an overwhelming advantage in material strength, but all of his pieces are on the wrong side of the board, and it would take a great many moves to get them over where they're needed, so the player with less material is actually able to mate. Being used to chess, where being up even a single pawn can be a decisive material advantage, that took some getting used to for me! I will miss these games with Åke.
The next week — last week — was the final week of the YSSP. On Monday we had a progress session meeting where all four of us in the EEP group gave an early version of our final presentations, for review by the group. I had worked on my final presentation all weekend, so I thought I was good to go. I was met with a volley of critiques and suggestions, all constructive and all excellent, that meant I needed to redo large portions of it. Back to the drawing board for two last late nights of slide revisions. I have been practically living in PowerPoint day and night for a couple of weeks now. Those who think science is all about solitary work in a lab somewhere, think again! Science is all about communication. You can have the most amazing findings in the world, but if you can't communicate them to others, you are a failure as a scientist. It's important to know what you're doing in the lab too, of course, but writing and public speaking are essential skills, and many scientists probably spend more time doing those things than doing actual research, especially at more senior levels, but even down at the PhD student level.
Tuesday and Wednesday were final presentations by the YSSPers, given to each other and to various researchers and staff at IIASA. Fifteen minutes each, with ten minutes for questions. Mine was Wednesday afternoon. It went quite well; I got lots of positive feedback on it. Which is nice, given how hard I worked on it; the work-reward cycle is slower in science than it is in software engineering, so it's nice for me when the loop finally does connect and something that I've been working hard on for months gets me a bit of praise and recognition.
And that brings us to Thursday, the Awards Dinner, which I'll do a separate post on.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'LOCAL KANSAS TALK' started by youngbuck, Feb 16, 2008.
hi ai am a new member any good advice
Welcome to the BOC! The best advise I can give is to read through the
Member Library. These guys know what they're talking about and if you
pay attention you can use their experience to catch more and larger
catfish wherever you fish. You might pick up on some folks to fish with
but make sure that it's alright with your parents. They might want to
talk with them first. Who knows, maybe they might want to go along too!
If I'm making a mistake about your age from your avatar photo, please
don't be offended. The most of the folks I've run across on this site
have been adults for longer than they'd care to remember like me. Anyway,
good luck to you!
hey there buddy welcome to BOC. the best fishin advice forum on the web and by far the friendliest. check out the BOC library for anything you can imagine or ask a specific question youll be catchin monster cats in no time:wink::big_smile:

TWO groups have received lottery funding to help them recreate events marking the end of the Second World War.
The town's Royal British Legion branch received more than £2,500 from the Home Front Recall scheme, which aims to fund a diverse range of events including exhibitions, remembrance services, parades, street parties, tea dances, history projects and other special celebrations.
And organisers from the branch said they were grateful to receive the money, which will be added to funds from a number of other pots to ensure their celebrations go with a bang later this summer.
Spokesman Les Goulburn said: "We have received generous donations from Rochdale Borough Council, as well as several local businesses, so when we were told that the Lottery grant had come through as well we were really pleased.
"Obviously any money left over will be redistributed by the relevant bodies, and as a registered charity we will not make a profit on it."
The British Legion are in the process of organising their celebrations, which will include a parade, a dance and an outdoor drumhead service.
And further celebrations were in order at Foxdenton Park where members of the Friends group were thrilled to accept a grant for more than £800 from the Home Front Recall scheme.
Secretary, Margaret Scott said: "We used the money to pay for the VE Day celebrations last month, and we had a fantastic day.
"Hundreds of people came down and listened to the band play, had a look at the photo exhibition which brought back memories for many local people, and enjoyed a real celebration."
Visitors to Foxdenton Park also sampled rationed wartime fayre at the event, including paste sanwiches, tripe, black pudding and corned beef hash.
Margaret added: "Some people weren't too sure about the tripe, but we thought it would keep to the traditions."
And following the successful event the Friends of Foxdenton are hoping to draw more supporters to the park to form a charitable trust, responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the historic hall which recently underwent minor refurbishments.
Margaret explained: "It is difficult but last month's event showed local people do have an interest in the park, and if we can generate enough support to form some kind of trust then we will have more power to put pressure on the council for help with future projects."
The Friends are hoping to attract interest from the local community and are looking in particular for help from people with financial or legal knowledge. To volunteer your services, or for more information contact Margaret Scott on 0161 620 9658.

They also look at their political party the way they look at their high school football team, where they will cheer them on no matter how poorly they play. They'll put their team, in this case the Democratic Party, ahead of the country,
What's ridiculous is this stupid little mistake that anyone can make is being called "absolute proof that he's not fit to be President." When are you guys going to get over people criticizing Bush? Two years later, and you're still stinging. "Ooh, those meanies on the internet and TV said mean things about poor, persecuted George." Really? These things became serious because Cons turned that into a flame-fest about the "liberal media." If you had just said "Yeah, that's a dumb flub, and it's pretty funny..." No. People joke about Palin, and it's a flame-fest. Point out that Glenn Beck is a partisan douche, and it's a flame-fest. Seriously, grow the F up.

NE governors condemn Mandera attack, call for help
Governors from Northeastern yesterday condemned the attack on the Mandera Bisharo Guest House.
Ali Roba (Mandera), Ahmed Abdullahi (Wajir), Nadhif Jama (Garissa), Ukur Yatani (Marsabit) and Lamu's Issa Timamy sent condolence messages.
Speaking in Marsabit, Roba raised concerns about the rising levels of insecurity despite there being enough security personnel.
"Today I'm deeply disappointed because I have more than enough security personnel in hand, but we still are experiencing frequent attacks by al Shabaab," he said.
Roba urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to beef up security and train officers because "most are unfamiliar with the terrain".
He called for the establishment of a police reservist unit with 300 locals.
"We call upon the President and Deputy President to form a unit that will work hand-in-hand with the police to ensure there is easy penetration into the areas the militia are hiding," Roba said.
Lack of electricity was also highlighted as a reason for the high number of attacks.
"The attacks happen at night when there is no electricity," Roba said.
