By all means, everyone should learn to code.
I look forward to the coming years of top dollar consultancy work to fix up the horrible messes that will result.
Because the world needs more sub-par programmers.......
I think the point here is more to start people younger so that they become much better at the end. Long term goals and all that.

which will then be outsourced to india and china
Wtf did Bill Gates know about coding?

Which will come back 2x as f***ed.
Wtf did Bill Gates know about coding?
This is a common misconception. Gates is and was an excellent programmer.
In his sophomore year, Gates devised an algorithm for pancake sorting as a solution to one of a series of unsolved problems presented in a combinatorics class by Harry Lewis, one of his professors. Gates's solution held the record as the fastest version for over thirty years; its successor is faster by only one percent. His solution was later formalized in a published paper in collaboration with Harvard computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou.
"Gates doesn't know anything about programming, lel" is usually based on the fact that he made his empire by buying and enhancing existing code rather than building his OS from scratch -- which just means that he was also an astute businessman.
which will then be outsourced to india and china
Wasn't there a big swing back a few years ago in outsourcing because of all of the bad experiences?
If business folks all began to articulate their requirements correctly and in enough detail there might be reason to be worried, but I can't see that happening any time soon.

Even with that we have had major issues with Indian developers. Asked some of our Indian support to create a check box on a page so people can acknowledge that they considered the safety aspects. Came back and they created a category for purchasable items marked as fireworks.
For most of the stuff we have reviewed, they just grab something else that sounds vaguely familiar that they wrote for someone else and deliver that as the product.
If I could go back and rechoose my degree I'd be doing IT/business. Oh well
Wtf did Bill Gates know about coding?
You're thinking of Jobs. Now that dude cannot code but an excellent business man. Gate is (was) both.
meanwhile those of us working jobs irl....
pave is a bit cut that there isnt a similar vid about engineering, because IT jobs are way cooler than engineering jobs are.
Yes totes jelly
Everyone that learns to code will go work at a place like the one described in that video
pretty much bro
If I could go back and rechoose my degree I'd be doing IT/business. Oh wellWhat did you study Phooks?
If I had my chance all over again I'd be a TV presenter on my own morning show called "Wake Up! with Some Fat Bastard"
If I could go back I'd replace my high GPA Science Degree with becoming a Sparky. Then with that behind me, upgrade my skills quickly to cash in on the Photovoltic fad as soon as I heard the government was going to subsidize it.
O well, instead I'll be well trained in a highly technical and extremely expensive skill-set that is just awesome to have in a time of fiscal issues. Could be worse, I could be a physicist.
lol shad
they created a category for purchasable items marked as fireworks
I'd buy the fireworks.
I agree with the vid.
I've an IT background but recently switched into digital media/software, and am starting a SaaS business. So I'm learning to code as a result, I'm using Treehouse and it's ace if anyone's looking to get started.
I can't help but feel that "Learn a Trade" should be the mantra nowadays. Cos when the world goes to s***, being able to build/fix stuff is going to be far more valued than writing code... :/
Seppo prepper!
Pfft, hardly either.
Strongly disagree with the video because you know, it's full of lies...
There are more kids programming today than there ever was, and we don't need more programmers on minimum wage or jumping month to month between contracts as things get outsourced to India.
Employers hate programmers, will make your life difficult, and tell you every day that there are a million d*******s out there just like you itching to replace you.
Become something people need, like a cabinet maker
Isn't the point of the video that nowadays a programmer is something that people need?
If your employer thinks you're replaceable then you just aren't that great at your job, no matter what skillset you have.
Isn't the point of the video that nowadays a programmer is something that people need?
If you have a foresight into figuring out "what people need" then you are infinitely better off not coding it yourself but hire someone else to do it for you. Ironically you'd probably end up with those suckers that learn to code for the sake of "knowing to code" - don't hire them, hire pro. Then you won't be a code monkey but an owner / operator of a successful business.
Being an excellent programmer alone didn't get Gates (nor Zuckerburg I would argue) to where he is today, it's his abilities to figure out the market. They don't tech you that at school let alone "Computer science" courses. Cognitive skills alone will not make you succeed unless you are planning to become an academic.
I thought that this video had a point, but that it would be better to teach people better decision making skills than to teach them code. They're pointing out that coding helps you problem solve, but honestly half the coders i know can't solve their way out of a paper bag with tangible things. Show them a car which doesn't start and if they can't solve it with jumpercables or a battery they give up. Same with around the house things.. or even just solving a problem which requires them to figure out an efficient way to pickup people at different locations who need to be dropped at other locations.
Of course i'm being a bit dramatic, but i think there's potentially a bigger case with the same logic for forcing everyone to do some business decision classes.
Oddly, i might be biased, my fathers thesis was on making it mandatory that all engineers in DoD should undertake a minimum amount of business study so they can find solutions weighted with logic in the real world not just engineering logic. (He's worked on defence contracts now for over 30 years, 20 of which have been reviewing engineer submissions).
Definately knowing the basic fundamentals to code help give you skills to break problems down and then solve things though. I don't regret the time i wasted at griffith doing an IT degree i gave up instead changing to Business at UQ.
then you are infinitely better off not coding it yourself but hire someone else to do it for you.
Not everyone wants to run a business; many just want to code.
I can't see any harm in random people learning how to code for self development. Many DIYers learn all sorts of things because they enjoy the process and being able to do what they want at home themselves. They may never intend to be a painter, builder, landscape gardener but doesn't mean they can't learn how to do enough for their own projects.
not sure if serious considering that most furniture consumed in the word is cheap flat pack s*** made by automation or sweatshop labour in asia.
not sure if serious - cabinet maker is the name of the trade title, doesn't mean they sit in a workshop building cabinets all day.
learning a trade.. if its such a bad idea how come these days tradies tend to make more than 100k/year across the board ? taking all that money that coders are making because most of gen y doesn't know to drive a drill or change a car battery or any of the simple s*** that was a given 10 years ago, generally.
like my air con installer guy said, why would he go to the mines to make 200k when he can make more working 4 days a week in perth and sleep in his own bed every night. not bad for a refrigeration 'mechanic'
Not everyone wants to run a business; many just want to code.
Yes I take your point but you said in your original post "figure out what people want and write that". What I'm saying that you will most definitely not learn those skills by just being a code monkey which this vid is somehow pitching i.e. learn to problem solve, be determine blah blah.
They are character traits which are definitely not a cognitive skill. To learn to be "more determine" you'd need a different kind of lessons that they don't tech at normal school (too long to write about).
Of course it doesn't hurt to learn new things I agree but, linking the correlation between "learning to code" to being able to be more determine and thus somehow will be a success like those people in the vids is plain wrong - none of those people that are successful have just pure coding abilities that get them there nor did they learn those non-cognitive skills from programming.
Which leads me back to my original point that "if you are able to figure out what people want", you are clearly not a coder, you have a far better non-cognitive skills than your average code monkeys and thus you would be better off managing the said group of code monkeys.
My point really is that the campaigning to learn something for the sake of learning never succeeds. It's far too generic.
Here's someone that is good at coding but really not loving this idea:
Edit: fix speeling mistakes and stuff and add link
Sorry I never said or meant "figure out what people want and write that" so not sure if you were referring to me or misunderstood what I said.
By saying that programmers are needed I meant that more and more industries require programmers to operate - not that they know what customers need. I agree with everything you've said about that though.
I was suprised at what industries actually needed programmers (engineers/designers/developers - people that can create solutions - not code monkeys) when I started looking for jobs and I'm sure its growing all the time. Maybe some education that programming isn't restricted to a traditional desktop/mobile application.
Be warned, curio.
Learning to code is deep, dark sorcery that should only be done by the initiated under the guidance of an adept. Alone, once you complete your hobby project you find yourself unerringly seduced by glittering threads of logic and the potential of your imagined army of binary automatons. Your worldview will change as you see opportunities to conjure blind, soulless agents to do your bidding.
You gain brash confidence and inevitably pitch your new skills to your boring day job's organisation to grease some clunky, arcane business process. Excited at your fresh start, you will watch in absolute horror as burning complexity is poured into your straining system at a rate you cannot possibly keep up with, until finally it collapses like a beautiful but tragically, fundamentally flawed puzzle that can never be solved.
Two years on and you are left dripping with shame as the virtuosos are called in, and with scathing ridicule your frankencode is discarded, never to see the light of main() again. You had best be gone, moved on, with lesson learned at this point, curio.
^ LOL Hog wins
Hehe, nice one Hog.
The problem is that a high proportion of "programmers" are rote learners who never get to the deeper understanding and conceptual problem solving + exploration.
Tell me about it - I despair when other developers come to me with simple problems without bothering to try to get a deeper understanding about their environment, tools and the goal they're trying to accomplish. Think for yourself, ffs.
- Why would the florb sprocket give error code 42?
- Have you checked A, B, C? What about X, Y, Z? The florb sprocket documentation says 42 is a connection problem - this might sound stupid, but is the network cable plugged in?
- Uh, no I just googled "florb sprocket error code 42" and the first result didn't work so now I don't know what to do.

It's worse when they don't understand the context of what they're about to work on.
A recent conversation with a chinese* colleague:
"Our project needs someone to write an ethernet driver and tcp/ip stack for a bare-metal system. Do you have any experience with that?"
"Yes, I have done Network Programming"
"No, I mean you have an CPU/MCU with no operating system or base code, and you have to talk to an ethernet PHY and support tcp/ip on your own, from scratch."
"Yes, I have worked with sockets".
(* = born and grew up in china. our other chinese workmate who grew up in the west has excellent situational awareness and social skills, and does not require baby-sitting)

Ideal sales person there.
Always include wiggle room. Always.

haha good point, though maybe that's why it's so hard to get a good cabinet maker, not a chippie - mind you - a fine craftsman
wish I was a real man like Ron Swanson and not a software developer
almost 10 years doing this s*** and I've never been invited to the graffiti room with free espresso, I've been invited to a 20% pay cut though that was fun
I've spent 12+ months looking for a new TV cabinet and finally bought one last weekend from a business that specialises in building things from scratch. All the flat pack models at Ikea, Freedom, Harvey Norman, Dare, etc were way off the mark for price and what I wanted.
Cost a small fortune but the thing will last for decades (unless toddler gets to it).

Politico reported this morning that "Henry R. Muñoz III of San Antonio — an Obama bundler and a national chairman of the Futuro Fund, a group of Latino leaders who raised money for the president's reelection — is expected to be named DNC Finance Chair, the first Latino to hold the title."
What's also interesting about Muñoz, though Politico omitted this fact, is that he at least once dined with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
"Muñoz's clout has only expanded in the ensuing years — in politics, philanthropy and his profession," mysanantonio.com reported two years ago.

Why KindyROO ?
KindyROO was created by Margaret Sasse in 1983 to address the neuro-physiological developmental needs of 0-5 year olds that directly affect future reading and learning skills. The programs Margaret developed were based on research of the leading childhood development experts of the time, with a specific focus on the relationship between physiological activities and their impact on the developing pathways of the brain that impact upon reading and learning capabilities. Her daughter Dr Jane Williams ran a KindyROO in Townsville for a number of years, then went back to University to complete a PhD in our area of expertise. This PhD was assessed by International experts in both the field of study and the methodology, and she was recommended for a Cum Laudae by one of the examiners. The PhD so impressed one of the examiners that she paid close attention to KindyROO and its underlying programs, and the work of Margaret. This examiner, Professor Frances Page Glascoe is a worldwide authority on parenting and early childhood development, and is co-editor of the American Academy of Pediatrics: Development and Behavior Newsletter. She also mentors the Royal Children's Hospital (Vic) Community Child Health Program, and is a leading advisor for many similar programs around the world. In her foreword in Margaret's book 'Smart Start' Professor Glascoe described Margaret as "a leading international authority on the value (and enormous fun) of movement in children's lives; and in parent's lives too".
Prof Glascoe was so impressed that she has come on board the KindyROO team as our Patron for research and support – pro-bono. Jane leads the intellectual development of the franchisees and teachers. She regularly attends and contributes to international conferences on early childhood development. In close collaboration with the leading franchisees and teacher trainers, the KindyROO programs, in-house professional development courses, and reference material for franchisees are kept up to date with the latest research and knowledge. Research is also an important part of the work of the leadership team. Programs are assessed for their effectiveness in both the short and long term.
We expect our franchisees and teachers to aspire to become the local experts in our field and we have in place an ongoing professional development and educational program to support skill and knowledge development. Early childhood development is a lifetime commitment for our teams.

A friend asked me to take a head shot for their 6 year old's acting career.
I'm confident I can make a nice portrait but "head shot" specifically is entirely new to me.
For example:
- Should it be strictly limited to head & shoulders?
- Must they be looking into the camera or can the be engaged on some off-camera subject, like this?
- Can there be animals in the shot (here) or is it strictly a pose.
- Must it have a solid background or is "environmental" OK?
- Is dress style important? Do you recommend their Sunday's best or something more "kiddish".
- Finally; how the heck do you get a 6 year old to be animated yet not just silly while looking into a camera? Oie ve.
Is there another thread I should review? Link? I've done some Googling but I really need some advice from the experienced.
I appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance!

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers' maybe-quarterback of the future was on the phone Wednesday morning.

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers' maybe-quarterback of the future was on the phone Wednesday morning.
"Hi, this is Kirk Cousins," he said when he joined the teleconference. "I'm ready to do my question and answer."
Click here to read my Thursday article.
This offseason will be very interesting.
If Washington doesn't decide to protect him I would be more than happy if the niners signed him. That would allow them to get some top end talent in other areas of need, or trade for a boatload of picks that some other team will give up to get their qbotf. Both of which would exponentially speed up the rebuild process.
Imagine getting Cousins and an Olineman via free agency, then getting an Edge rusher, DB and another Olineman in the upcoming drafts first 2 rounds.
People seem to want to knock him but he is easily a top 10 qb and soon will be a top 5 qb when the likes of Brees and Brady retire in the next few seasons. He is a player you could win a superbowl with and is just entering his prime, where he should remain for another 6 seasons or so.
"Good protection on the offensive line" Take the hint Mr. Lynch, address the line for Kirk.
"A lot of skill-position players." Like Pryor? Bring him in for Kirk. It would be an upgrade over Goodwin.
"And we feel like we've been building something…" Bruce Allen (the guy Kirk hates) is building something.
The rest is Kirk being a good soldier. He doesn't want to upset his teammates.
"The more tape that Kirk puts on film that he performs well like he has the past couple weeks, the harder it will be to keep him around."
The better he plays, the more money he'll command. Gruden knows or suspects that the Skins have a certain number that they won't or can't go over. The Skins will get outbid or try to lowball Kirk again.
The Skins could tag him. Sure, then we could refuse to trade for him and ride out Hoyer's contract. Cousins could block any other trades. Then Snyder pays 34 mil and gets nothing back.
If cousins signs the tender. He may refuse to play under a third franchise tag and sit out 2018
Captain Kirk and the Wrath of Dan.
From The Wrath of Kahn.
"No… no you can't get away. From hell's heart, I stab at thee… For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee…"
Remember Barry Sanders and that issue with the lions owner?
Well, when he sees our WRs he may re-sign in Washington at a discount:
A. Robinson SF 3
M. Breida SF 2
M. Goodwin SF 2
G. Kittle SF 2 (As we can see, btw, Kittle was NOT charged for a drop last Sunday. Hysterical beat-writer and fan opinions to the contrary, )
T. Pryor Sr. Was 2
Where is everyone getting a $34 million 2018 franchise tag figure on Cousins? Right now the average top 5 QB salaries is below $27 million. Cousins earns currently $23.9 million. The Franchise tag salary is based on the top 5 QB salaries or 120% of his present salary whichever is higher. There are two QB's up for renegotiation in 2018. Drew Brees and Sam Bradford. Both QB's will not drive the average 5 near $34 million. I doubt either will resign above $27 million.. Brees is going to be 39 and Bradford injured once again. It's reasonable to conclude Cousins salary will likely be based on the 120% rule which would make his salary approx. $28.6 million..
It's not about value at the QB position. It's a penalty for tagging a player for the 3rd consecutive time. When you tag someone, it's usually because you're trying to resign that player and need more time. But Snyder is doing it out of spite
Third year percentage is 144%, not 120%.
And that's the floor, btw. If the average of the Top-5 is greater than $23.9 million, he gets that as his base.
I wish someone would punish me with $34 million.
Nothing is written in stone , not in today's NFL .
My hope is that we don't put all our eggs in one basket . So to speak .
IMO our team might be a 3 year rebuild , and with next year's draft (18), we might be able to make a push , plus all that cap space .
We have alot of holes to fill ,at primary postions . Along with their back-ups / and role players.
Do we think that after the draft ,as many good picks as we have , will that be enough of a talent boost . Will that make us competitive or playoff capable.
We are going to have alot of turnaround next year . Hyde , Bowman , don't know who will be here . How many others contracts are up at the end of the year ?
Way to early to speculate , but when we are having a season like this , I guess it's ok to dream .
I would love to upset ,a playoff team , cowboys , eagles . Probably make this season more bearable . That glimmer of hope,that one Brite spot .
49er faithful forever .
But, but, but, Liddle Grant says Hoyer is an A performer. Why would we downgrade to Cousins???
Cousins could get injured any time before the end of the season, this is all pointless speculation.
Hell, he could even get injured on Sunday.
Imagine that… the future 49ers QB injured by one of his future team mates. What a can of hornets nests that would be.
This blog site is all about "pointless speculation" by experts who have wrongly been denied front office and coaching positions in the league ;-)
I'm trusting the Shanalynch army to keep the arrow pointed upwards in the rebuild process over this and the next season.
Bickering while Sonoma County burns.
ps I dont like my avatar. Who do I have to speak to around here to sort that out?
You could try using http://en.gravatar.com/
Nice one. Thanks!
Does Cousins fix what ails the Niners, self destruction? Does he fix the unwarranted penalties, dropped passes, assignment futility? Does he improve the O-line, the secondary, I will venture a guess – nope. I am not against the Cousin purchase but I am against the thought that he brings victories without fixing anything else. There again if everything was fixed would we need Cousins?
Kittle should have caught that TD pass, and he would be the first to admit he should of. I have seen way more difficult passes caught – he dropped the damn thing get over it.
There is no single solution to all those problems, I agree.
But Cousins will fix one problem: that of a skittish QB who automatically falls over/runs in circles/backwards/delete as appropriate as soon as his internal 3 second buzzer goes off and regardless of whether there are any defensive players in a three mile radius.
I say see what we have in CJ Beathard first…before pouring all that money into Cousins….
It's really how bad does Cousins and Shanahan want to work together?
Does CJ Beathard become the backup to Hoyer another year.., Become the starter?..or backup to Cousins??
I'd rather spend that money getting the oline and corner situation figured out…and an edge rusher..
We're like 4- 5 players away from really turning into a playoff team…But Quarterback is the most important move first
Undercenter – excellent points about what voids still exist even if the Niners were to obtain Cousins. If Cousins gets another tag, even if the Niners were to match, the cost of the high draft picks for consecutive years (two top five picks back to back most likely) coupled with the inability to move up or down in the draft would kill the ability of the Niners to get quality talent to replace in other positions. In addition, if Cousins exits the Skins, to whom does Gruden II turn, Colt McCoy!!!!! Give me a break!!!! Of course the Skins could draft Darnold, Rosen, Allen, et al in the top of round 1, but then they are back to square one with a rookie QB matched with an aging squad. If the Niners only needed a QB, it would be a different story, but this starting line-up and roster has more holes than Swiss cheese, and Cousins' acquisition can't plug all of the leaks in the dike.
Why can I never visit the links to articles on my phone or desktop?

Save all that money for Cousins and sign Kaep! Ok, just kidding of course. Just needed a little chuckle during this ongoing tragedy in my home town of Santa Rosa. Prayers to all affected.
I've watched the tape numerous times. Kittle dropped the friggin ball. He's a professional, not a HS player. Official scorers get it wrong ALL the time. DROP!!
ok how about this: it was a bad throw AND a bad drop. Neither of them score an A grade. At least Kittle has the excuse of being a rookie.
I agree, both can be true, but Kittle was falling to the ground while trying to get his hands under it. A better thrown ball would have been more catchable.
Juan, we opened our house to my wife's boss and her family. She got a voluntary evacuation alert so our cat received 3 dogs and 6 people. Her brother in law lived off Piner. He said it sounded like a jet engine, and he was lucky to escape. When he came back the next day, all his neighbor's were relieved because they thought he might not have gotten out of his house in time.
Luckily she is back in her home, and now are helping him pick up the pieces. I gave him my biggest bud, it was a foot long, and he said that was the nicest thing anyone has done for him in a long time, and thanked me. Just glad I could help, and wish I could have done more. He said he really would need it.
In these trying times, football matters little, and our squabbles, while entertaining, mean nothing compared to friends and family. Hope you are safe, and family is well. Go Niners.
According to Hoyer:
"It's a route built in for an all-out blitz. So, I've got to throw it before he breaks and he's got to break for it. "
Either one could be at fault or you could assign blame to both. But if the pass is in the vicinity, I'm more inclined to place the fault on Kittle, especially since he got both hands on it and maybe also because I'd expect a rookie to be more likely to not run as precise a route as a veteran (Garcon for example).
If Kap was signed he could thread the needle into Kittle. Instead Jed sits on his hand and Kyle isn't bold enough.
Go Niners
Hey Seb, I'll bet the house (only because it's still standing) that if Kaep had thrown that ball, you'd be saying it should have been caught and probably that it was an accurate, well thrown ball. ;>} I'm certainly not arguing that the throw was perfect. What I am saying is that as a pro, if the ball hits your hands, it's catchable. If you drop a catchable ball, being a pro, it's a drop.
That's very nice of you to host. We are also hosting my nephew, his fiancé and their 3 dogs and cat, much to the chagrin of my lab. He thinks I'm a trader letting the cat in the house! My wife is out volunteering at the Finley center. Godspeed to you and your family.
Juan, Scooter and I disagreed on a catchable ball that Kaep threw to Vance MacDonald. He thought it was not catchable because he leaped into the air and had to twist his body. I thought that he should have caught the ball because he did try to catch it over his head, but it hit both of his hands. I thought Vance was just being Vance.
This other non catch was not ruled a drop because Kittle was trying to keep the ball from hitting the ground. No matter what, it was a difficult ball to catch, unlike Vance, who let the ball clang off his hands.
Glad to hear you hosting your nephew. He and his fiance are very lucky to have an uncle like you. We still have a couple staying with us, and only one dog, but our cat refuses to emerge from under the bed.
Kaep threat the needle? Lol! He'd have trouble throwing the ball into the Grand Canyon! Come on now!
Juan, that is a duplicate troll. Thought that site monitoring frowned on catfishing, but they should have also banned many for spewing expletives. Guess anything goes, on this site.
duplicate troll?……you agree you are a troll……just saying :)

Dr Abe V Rotor
All from San Vicente, Ilocos Sur: Manang Madre with Rotor clan: Fe (former UP professor), Cely (retired teacher), Veny (Franciscan sister). Sister Francisca Trinidad Rotor, SPC - devoted Vincentian and Paulinian
San Vicente is a small town, three kilometers west of Vigan, the capital of Ilocos Sur. The town takes pride in honoring its outstanding sons and daughters, among them, a diminutive, frail looking religious sister, who devoted her whole long life to the development of children through education and devotion. Author's Note: Search in this Blog, the life of Sister Mamerta Rocero, SPC, also a native of San Vicente.
There is always the last of a distinct breed, reminiscent of The Last of the Mohicans, a novel written by James Fenimore Cooper. After that a new breed emerges.
Manang Madre is among the last of a fine breed of religious sisters.
She lived a full missionary life with the zeal and dedication of a Mother Teresa. She was simple and humble, and remained a trusted friend, mentor and spiritual adviser.
This is Manang Madre to us. We knew how good and courageous she was even at a very early age. She would warn us of approaching Japanese soldiers, and lead us into an underground hideout, hushing us into complete silence. Like a sentinel she knew when it was safe to go out and resume our chores and play. We would have known more fear and uncertainty were it not for her assuring presence and company.
There was this incident just after the war that Manang Madre risked her life in saving my sister and brother who were trapped in a live charcoal pit. This is the dugout stove chamber used in boiling sugarcane juice to become muscovado or red sugar. It was a miracle, Dad and the people who came to the rescue afterward, likened her to a "guardian angel,"
Manang Madre remained our older playmate and guardian of sort. Mother died at the onset of the war, so that having Manang Madre around filled a vacuum in us. Dad always reminded us to be good to her.
There was a time Manang Madre invited us to see her glass aquarium. There beside the window, the morning sun cast a prism on the green Hydrilla and Elodea plants with numerous tiny bubbles forming and clinging on their leaves. One by one the bubbles rose and popped daintily. A dozen colorful fish gleefully played in the sunbeam. This indeed made a lasting impression in me to become a biologist someday. When I became a professor, I devised an laboratory project for my students, a natural home aquarium without electric-driven pump and filter. It was patterned after Manang Madre's aquarium.
It was peacetime. Things were going back to normal. Wounds healed, so to speak, leaving but scars. School reopened. Manang Madre soon entered the convent without our knowledge. But she wrote often, sending us cards, stampita and religious medals.
It was many years after when I saw Manang Madre in the former Vigil House at St. Paul University Quezon City campus. She had retired and was wearing an implanted heart pacer. I too, had retired from government service and was teaching part time in that school.
In spite of her conditions she helped me build the school museum with her collection of stamps. She was a a philatelist. She helped me in the eco-sanctuary, the botanical garden of the school. She was a gardener. So with the school's outreach program in Barangay Valencia. She taught for many years children and adults alike. Why don't we map our family tree? I asked. She had indeed a very good memory to the third generation and fourth consanguinity. I treasure the map she made.
The last time I saw her was in 2009 at the new Vigil House at Taytay, Rizal. I was attending the annual school retreat. It was a bright morning. We were walking among the flowers that lined a big fountain pond fronting the modern edifice.
Manang Madre and two other religious sisters formed a triumvirate in the family. They all belonged to St. Paul of Chartres congregation.
- Sister Nathaniel Rocero, SPC, the intellectual, sometimes branded activist for her concern for the poor, a Ph.D. holder in English and Literature, proponent of traditional and classical philosophy.
- Sister Mamerta Rocero, SPC, the scientist, biologist, researcher, she revived the ethnic values of plants, humanist, also a Ph.D. holder (meritissimus). Her dissertation: "Ethnobotany among The Itawes," published by the National Museum.
- Sister Francisca Trinidad, SPC, educator, school administrator, extension specialist, teacher to countless children as if they were her own, as if they were like us who once grew under the her protection.
"We are not alone. We may be of different races, but God has placed us so that we journey on the same path."
Sister Madre and her kind, assure us that we are not alone. They are the bridge of unity, ages and generations. They have placed us in that same journey, leading us all on the same path to God." ~

FUNNY WOMEN #82: Apply Your Feelings of Professional Inadequacy to a Really Adorable Birthday Cake
In a perfect world, we would emerge from the womb clutching our CVs in our tiny, clenched palms. Our eyes wouldn't yet be open, but still we'd be all, Here, look at how accomplished.
Womb, it would read. Managing Editor of Being Inside a Body.
Baby, it would say. Daily tasks include living, breathing, and becoming fucking alive.
Nine months old, and already we would have detailed lists of achievements: awards won, publications scored, the way we spent our time when we weren't spending it acquiring life.
Experience: Nine months of stellar attendance.
Volunteer work: making you glowy as fuck.
And all of it would be perfectly formatted, stylishly indented, the font so drop-dead gorgeous even Papyrus would be jealous. Not circles but diamonds for bullet points, because whether we want to admit it or not, diamonds make us feel like movie stars.
We'd be brand new but impressive. A nurse would wipe our bottom, cut our umbilical cord, and then she'd say, "Fuck."
Because who could compete with that?
Maybe if this was how I was born, I wouldn't find myself turning 25 and yet unemployed, despite my 23 job applications, my five "emerging writer" fellowships, my three "visiting assistantship" positions, my four applications for a second MFA I don't even want or need but maybe duality is what will make me stand out. Maybe publications—both sexy and unsexy—and volunteer work and that time I visited that class to talk about "art" just aren't cutting it. What of my bachelor's degree from my fine private liberal arts college that spent a million dollars on a catch-phrase? What of my "Graduated With Honors" in "Comparative English Literature" and "Writing Across The Genres?" What of my master's degree, at a ripe 25? Why am I standing in line at Barnes & Nobles, waiting for an application, wondering if they will notice if I steal just one of those small organic truffles beside the register, the kind with the cacao nibs, and if that is ever okay, if the world maybe owes me this much by now?
What if first I was a baby with accomplishments in letterpress?
Would that change a thing?
In the meantime, I'm making plans. Next week I'll turn 25 years and for some this would be a milestone, a marker, "a quarter of a century." "Have a party," someone said, and when I hear "party" I think "people," and when I think "people" nowadays, I think, "Can I sell myself to you for anything over minimum wage?"
Because I will do that. I will so do that.
Maybe I am young, okay, but there are things that I still want: a dog and a house, for starters, and maybe okay also a child and a set of those white whicker rocking chairs from Cracker Barrel. You know the ones I mean?
And it gets worse every year. How am I going to afford the Big Top Cupcake Mold? How am I going to afford the linen placemats in ivory sandstone? How will I ever be able to afford the Williams Sonoma Beaba Babycook Food Maker if I do not have a job?
If, like me, you find yourself in a similar state this year—20-something or 30-something or Lord help us if you're 50 because then there is no hope for any of us—you should do what I did. You should have a party. There are expectations on birthdays to celebrate and you can use them to your advantage.
First drive across town to that hulking ass Wal-Mart that stands alone in the middle of nowhere. Buy a box of cake mix and a tub of frosting and your favorite decorating tools—sprinkles and gels and a fuck ton of candles—and watch in amazement as it costs practically nothing. Then print your resume on an edible sticker. There are many websites that offer this service, and they will charge you $16.95, but you're just going to have to tell yourself it's worth it because this is how the system works. Money in means money out, and that Alabaster Ceramic Easter Eggs won't buy themselves.
Next invite all of your friends and family members and colleagues and peers and every last man you've ever slept with because there's a Boys' Club and this is one way to get in. Tell everyone there will be an open bar. Disregard the guilt you feel knowing there will not be an open bar. Who can pay for that?
Not you, remember?
The day of your party, bake your birthday cake as normal, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. While you wait, apply your makeup and paint your nails. Apply first a base coat to each nail and then a protective coat and then, using a toothpick, polka dot with eight different colors because this is what you do now that you're unemployed. This is a way to spend some time. Marvel at how pretty they look. How feminine. At least you are cute. At least when people look at you they don't always run away.
Once the cake is cool, frost as usual using your tub of frosting. Never mind it doesn't taste very good. You won't be eating much of it anyway, and there's not enough money this month to buy confectioner's sugar and butter and vanilla extract, not even the artificial kind.
Adhere sticker to cake. Next, using a pipe bag, pipe balloons and flowers and clowns and whatever the hell you now how to pipe in bright, engaging gels. Add rainbow sprinkles. Add candles. Make that cake pretty as fuck.
Just before your guests arrive, put on a pantsuit, like that one you bought that one time for your interview at Columbia. Pin your hair in a bun. Don't you look nice. Get a pencil in there, too, if you can. Employers like pencils in buns. It means you're professional but fun. Apply dark lipstick. Apply eyeliner. Spray perfume. Spray air freshener.
As your guests arrive, take their coats and usher them into the kitchen. Give them some big long story about how the bar company couldn't make it and you're so embarrassed and let them compliment you and rub your shoulders. Exactly one hour and fifteen minutes into the party, light the candles and bring out the cake. Timing will ensure the party-poopers haven't left yet but the stragglers have finally made it. As you carry cake to the table, do not make eye contact. Only if asked, insist there is nothing strange about this cake. Do not address your resume. Let the people come to you. Let them tell you that you are smart and accomplished, because you are, and let them suggest to you an opening in their company, because you deserve it, and as you lean down to blow out your candles, smile big, those brown eyes open, and wish to fuck for a solid 50k.

The cinemizer OLED is designed for mobile use. The integrated rechargeable battery provides power for up to six hours of viewing enjoyment even when away from the confines of your home. For example, while on a flight, you can watch several movies from your smartphone like Android or Apple on the cinemizer multimedia video glasses.
Connection possibilities
The cinemizer 3D glasses can be used for various applications. It can be connected to an iPod/iPhone, smartphone with HDMI or analog A/V interface, Blu-ray player, gaming consoles such as PS3 or XBox, PCs & notebooks, as well as in additional devices. This is all made possible by an HDMI adapter, a video cable (yellow cinch) and the optional iPod/iPhone adapter.
Diopter adjustment
Eyeglass wearers can configure their prescription from -5 to +2 diopters in each eye via the setting wheel.
Rich colors
OLED displays create crisp images with very vibrant colors, true black and thus very good contrast.
Wearing comfort
Emphasis was given to a low weight and optimal wearing comfort during development of the cinemizer OLED. The soft silicon nose pad allows the glasses to sit comfortably on your nose. The two soft rubber ear clips guarantee a good, comfortable sit, allowing you to use the cinemizer OLED for hours at a time.
3D support
Various stereoscopic 3D formats are supported. These are side-by-side, top-bottom or line-interleaved such as Frame Packing via HDMI 1.4.
Head tracker (motion sensor)
The head tracker is an input device which records the head movements of the user, allowing natural and intuitive interaction. Different sensors detect changes in rotation in all three dimensions and transmit these to the computer. In combination with the cinemizer OLED multimedia glasses, this allows the user an immersive experience in virtual worlds by looking around freely.
The cinemizer head tracker acts like a PC mouse, making it suitable for all games and professional applications that can be operated with a computer mouse. It can be used immediately without any adaptation or adjustment. The cinemizer Headtracker is one of the fastest tracking systems with the lowest latency time (delay in reaction time) on the market. The Headtracker is attached to the frame of the video glasses.
No additional drivers are required for the use of the Headtracker, so it can run immediately on Windows, Apple and Linux operating systems.
With the software program "Tracker Configuration Tool" the headtracker speed can be adjusted independendly of the PC Mouse. Additionally there are taps to check for a new version of the headtracker firmware.
For professional applications and games, it is possible to directly access sensor data on the USB HID via an available SDK (for Windows). The raw data from all three rotation axes can be read out via the SDK.
Eyeshield (shield from ambient light)
The Eyeshield is an optional accessory for the cinemizer OLED video glasses that blocks out the outside world for the user. This flexible component, made of soft rubber and plastic, can be attached to the multimedia glasses at the flick of a wrist and fully covers your eyes.
When you use the cinemizer OLED as an external viewfinder, for example, or to watch movies on the go, sunlight and other environmental interference factors are completely blocked out. The Eyeshield also fits the preceding cinemizer and cinemizer plus models
Cinemizer adapter kit for iPod and iPhone
The cinemizer adapter kit for iPod and iPhone is certified by Apple as "Made for iPod and iPhone" ffor the following devices:
(Status: Spring 2012)
With its neutral colors and progressive character, the attractive new design of the cinemizer OLED multimedia glasses reflects highly innovative optics combined with perfectly showcased technological details.
OLED displays
The latest OLED microdisplay on the cinemizer OLED
stands for very vibrant colors and very good contrast with true black. Thanks to the 100% fill factor, images appear razor sharp.
Connector ports
The cinemizer OLED comes standard with one HDMI adapter which allows users to connect their video glasses to a number of devices such as gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and computers, up to professional applications. The iPod/iPhone adapter kit also makes it possible to use these devices.
The following accessories are available for the cinemizer OLED Multimedia Video Glasses:
Term to maturity
The utilization of highly innovative, power-saving OLED displays increases the operational life, e.g. with an iPod, from four to six hours.
The cinemizer OLED features an integrated onscreen display (OSD) which allows users to intuitively adjust the settings.

Hi, and welcome to the first of my Best of Beauty series, devised by the gorgeous, intelligent, kind, totally awesome, but sadly not single, Sam from All the Buzz. Every Thursday I will be sharing my Best of Beauty, starting today with week 1, and my skincare saviours.
My skin is a combination of normal to dry, so at times it does need a bit of help, but at the same time I don't want to use anything too harsh on it, as that will just make things worse. These little beauties are just the ticket.
On the face:
You'll see I have much love for Vichy products here. They are not overly expensive, are very effective, and most of all are gentle on my skin. In fact, all of these are due for repurchase soon, as they are all just about out.
Vichy Idealia Cream (€26/50ml – Boots.ie / SamMcCauley.com): I use this day and night, and my skin laps it up. It smells great too thanks to the Kombucha tea extract.
Vichy Purete Thermale One Step Cleanser (€13.95/200ml – SamMcCauley.com): I find this to be a more heavy duty cleanser than the Micellar Solution below, but is still very gentle. It is also great for taking off even the most stubborn eye makeup.
Vichy Purete Thermale Micellar Solution (€13.95/200ml – SamMcCauley.com): This is a great day to day cleanser. It is very light, and still quite powerful. It is more suited to day to day makeup, but even using it around the eyes it does not cause irritation, unless you're pouring in serious amounts.
On the Body:
Not everything has to be upmarket. These next two are cheap as chips, and are HUGE! Seriously, look at the size of them! They'll go on forever!
Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff (€7.99/200ml – Cloud10Beauty.com): The pink scrubby exfoliatey one. You don't really need to use this one all over that often, but on areas that are known to suffer from slightly harder, tougher skin, a little bit of this will soon have it back in shape. It's followed up by…
Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip (€7.99/200ml – Cloud10Beauty.com): The chocolately, flowery, skin softener supreme. This smells gorgeous, soaks in super easily and punches far above what it's price would have you think. If you haven't heard of these yet, what rock have you been living under? Get out from there and get them NOW!
Honourable Mentions:
I haven't included these above as they're not things I would use every day, but if you're looking for a bit of a skincare treat, these are worth considering.
Benefit B.Right Refined Finish Facial Polish (€27.50/127.5g – Debenhams.ie): I love using this once a week to help clear away any build up of dead skin cells. It's super gentle, a little bit goes a long way, and I love the packaging. It is not the cheapest out there, but it does a great job for the price.
Benefit B.Right Ultra Radiance Facial Rehydrating Mist (€30/133.1ml – Debenhams.ie): Work in an office? Feel yourself drying out from heat in summer and heaters in winter. This is the thing for you. I originally bought this in duty free in Gatwick as I was trapped indoors for hours and was drying out rapidly. Fortunately this did an amazing job, and I now swear by it. I'm not using it as often while I'm not working, but I always appreciate a moisture boost when I do turn to it. Its light fresh scent is pleasing on the nose too!
So, talk to me. Do you agree with my saviours? Does it inspire you to try any of them? Have you tried any of them already? Let me know in the comments!

Mobile banking use should double this year alone, and in order to graduate from basic balance queries and alerts to robust payments, vendors are flooding the market with products that suggest an intermediate step of usability and attractive screen appearance as the groundwork for future development.
"All of the mobile vendors offer things like balance, locations of branches or ATMs, or a means to view statements. This type of functionality is pretty well understood," says Stessa Cohen, a research analyst for Gartner. "What we're going to have to start to see is ways of differentiation of offerings, a way to allow banks to deliver new apps."
To accomplish this, a number of vendors are entering into collaborative partnerships - such as Obopay and Nokia, Monitise and Visa, and separate arrangements between IBM and mCom and IBM and Sybase - to create access to a broad swath of financial clients, provide tech scale, sell user-friendly mobile phone apps in the short-term, and in the long-term develop full-fledged enterprise mobile financial services.
The new alliances come at a time when mobile banking is growing dramatically - Tower Group says be the end of 2009 there will be 10 million mobile banking users, twice the number there were a year ago, and 53 million by 2013. Collaboration among players promise institutions the next generation of technical sophistication and functionality, facilitated by the new style of user experience designed for Apple iPhone users.
This means for some banks on the forefront of mobile deployment it's already time to upgrade their iPhone apps to make them navigate more like mainstream iPhone applications, versus online banking sites simply ported to the iPhone. Analysts say these are necessary advances in usability before mobile payments and other financial services can become mainstream. "Replicating what's on the online side in the mobile channel is the wrong decision," says George Peabody, director of emerging technology advisory services for Mercator Advisory Group.
Sybase's collaboration with IBM, signed in September, will allow the firms to cooperate on a mobile commerce ecosystem that aims to expand mobile payments and improve usability. Sybase's financial clients include BBVACompass, which is using Sybase's iPhone app to allow mobile balance inquiries and transfers. "The buttons you come across give it an iPhone app look and feel," says Cameron Franks, director of mobile commerce for Sybase. "One of the key differences of an app versus a browser is it's easier to use the app to link to other parts of the phone."
Another vendor, S1, recently launched a new iPhone app to sell to its Postilion and Enterprise banking customers. Among S1's clients is Lubbock, TX-based American State Bank, which recently became one of the first community banks to offer an iPhone app for mobile banking. Rivals Harland Financial Solutions and ClairMail also recently completed upgrades to enable iPhone- style navigation. Harland, for example, has rewritten its screens to allow users to use their thumbs for navigation. John Meyer, a vp at Harland Financial Solutions, which has about 70 mobile banking clients, hopes that as more people use iPhones and Blackberrys, the greater the expectation will be that banks offer sophisticated apps.
Mark Schwanhausser, an analyst at Javelin Research, who calls these iPhone-friendly mobile banking applications "wrappers," says differentiation between mobile and Web is paramount to get consumers interested in mobile banking, and eventually using mobile devices for advanced services. "If you make mobile banking look just like online banking and make people sign up for mobile through online banking, then consumers will say 'I'll just wait until I get home and use the Web,'" he says.

Copper surfaces in nursing homes could help control norovirus, researchers say
Nursing homes should consider installing more copper surfaces to prevent outbreaks of norovirus among residents and staff, according to new research out of the United Kingdom.
Researchers from the University of Southampton conducted tests simulating how norovirus is transmitted when people touch contaminated surfaces. They discovered that surfaces made out of copper and copper alloy reduced a gene associated with a viral encoded protein. Surfaces composed of at least 60% copper were especially effective, they found.
"The use of antimicrobial surfaces containing copper in clinical and community environments, such as cruise ships and care facilities, could help to reduce the spread of this highly infectious and costly pathogen," said lead author Sarah Warnes, a research fellow at the Centre for Biological Sciences at the University of Southampton.
Long-term care providers in the United States were hit hard by a norovirus outbreak last fall. Out of 141 outbreaks between September and December, 65% occurred in long-term care settings, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

text: September 9, 2012 Spring 2013 New York Fashion Week: Katie Gallagher – By Rebecca Prusinowski – While wild patterns are all the rage this Fall fashion season, Katie Gallagher's palette of natural hues like coal, ivory and nude were a breath of fresh Spring air. The minimalist, solid colors kept the eye focused on the body-conscious pieces and their flowy counterparts. We love a pair of summer shorts here at OliviaPalermo.com, preferably when paired with a delicate top and colorful heels. The cream shorts with raised circles were one of the most innocent pieces in the collection but something we could envision wearing often. And then there were her beautiful swimsuits: flattering cut-outs, both classic and cool. Hair, makeup and jewelry reinforce a collection's mood, and we were over the moon for the mesmerizing French twists by Cesar Ramirez and the Moroccan Oil team. Elegant with an edge – like the collection itself – each mane featured multiple coils and a buoyant bun up top. In lieu of sparkles or classic accessories, Katie Gallagher opted for white filigree jewelry by Megan Isaacs. Extending from behind the ear and across the knuckles, the jewelry looked like delicate coral and maintained that otherworldly feel. – Photos courtesy of Style.com – Rebecca Prusinowski is an Independent Editorial Director and Consultant based in New York.

It is a privilege for us to share in the recovery journey of over 7,000 Australians. We do this by supporting people to identify their values, strengths and goals in life – and then supporting them to achieve their goals. We prioritise health, wellbeing and independence through our strong evidence base and a focus on each person's individual needs and choices.
This year has seen us focus on consolidating an extraordinary stage of growth in services. New staff and an increasing diversity of services means it is vital we put in place the systems, structures and resourcing required for an organisation of our size to maintain quality, safety and innovation.
This includes the development of our first Quality, Safety and Clinical Governance Framework; an external audit of our corporate structure; and firmly establishing our significantly expanded service presence in Victoria and South Australia.
We have also been successful in tendering for and establishing new programs. We added the Crisis Respite Service in Adelaide; opened two new homelessness services and secured additional funding for Way2Home in Sydney; and stepped into the lead agency role for Central Adelaide and Hills Partners in Recovery (PIR). We have also been consolidating our approach to prevention and early intervention through our sub-acute services in four states with very strong outcomes for consumers and health systems.
Changing government funding priorities and re-tendering meant we were forced to close the Neami Splash Arts Studio after nearly 20 years. This was a very sad event for all of us. The very successful Intensive Home Based Support Service (IHBSS) also closed due to funding changes and we saw a reduction to our outreach services (IPRSS) in Central Adelaide.
Funding uncertainty remains around the limited extensions to important federally funded programs and there are also important times ahead with there-tendering of significant programs in some states. We await news around these and will continue to advocate to Federal and State Governments the value of these vital recovery support services.
This year has also been a reminder that despite our strong and sustained growth over many years, we are now operating in a more fiscally constrained funding environment. We encourage all levels of government to provide as much funding certainty as possible to our sector, in particular finalising how the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will operate with existing state programs. This is vitally important to ensure thousands of people do not lose the support they need for their ongoing health and recovery.
We also updated out current Strategic Directions during the year. The headline change was a broadening of our scope to support people who may not yet have developed a significant psychosocial disability. This will see us exploring opportunities to intervene earlier in order to avoid people reaching crisis point and/or developing more severe mental illness and disability. We already have a track record in preventing hospital admissions through our sub-acute and crisis respite services.
At a Board level, we farewelled Margaret Springgay AM, who resigned from the Board in June, and welcomed the return of Douglas Holmes, who was reappointed to the Board in March.
We commend this report to you and would like to thank our staff, the people we support and all our valued partners and funders who make this work possible.

As I build this Kickstarter project of mine, I try to remain realistic; there are too many projects out there to count, and many of them have something great to offer.
In an effort to show my support, I'm going to post some of them here, and do so regularly. I hope that, in some small way, I'll help someone's dream become a reality, even if my Kickstarter project doesn't turn out the way I hope.

WelcomeWelcome to the web pages of the UNH Nuclear and Particle Physics Group, which is part of the Physics Department. The group is currently located in our new building, the rebuilt DeMeritt Hall, which we moved into in August 2008. The Nuclear Physics Group's (NPG) research is aimed at two primary areas of study:
- Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model;
- Understanding the structure of the nucleon and light nuclei, and how this can be described in terms of the strong interaction and spin degrees of freedom.
We lead several multi-national collaborations at Jefferson Lab, and are preparing for several additional experiments at this facility. Jefferson Lab is presently completing a $314M upgrade, which was highlighted as the top priority of the last NSAC (National Science Advisory Committee) report. There are three full time faculty (Maurik Holtrop, Karl Slifer and Patricia Solvignon), and one 1/2 FTE faculty (John Calarco). Two postdoctoral research scientists (Elena Long and Rafayel Paramuzyan) and three graduate students (Toby Badman, Kyle McCarty, and Ryan Zielinski) work in the NPG on Jefferson Lab projects. Over the past decade we have mentored nine PhDs, and more than twenty undergraduates. These students make significant contributions to our efforts both at UNH and at Jefferson Lab, where they work side by side with some of the top scientists in the field. Our main experimental efforts are:
- The Heavy Photon Search (spokesperson: Holtrop) will search for a new gauge boson --the heavy photon-- as a potential Dark Matter candidate.
- The g2p experiment (spokesperson: Slifer) investigates the spin structure of the proton and how this affects the energy levels of hydrogen like systems.
- The Isospin SRC experiment (spokesperson: Solvignon) will use a tritium target to probe how short-range correlations between nucleons affect the structure of nuclei.
- The group also utilizes the Oak Ridge Spallation Neutron Source to study parity violating np capture (Calarco) to measure the weak charge of the pi meson, and the BLAST detector at DESY to search for deviations from the first Born approximation.
The NPG has two major research initiatives in DeMeritt Hall. The first is the development of a new detector array as part of a complex detector system to be used in Jefferson Lab's Hall B. The NPG has constructed an ISO 7/Class 10,000 clean room in DeMeritt Hall for testing of these Silicon Vertex Tracker modules. The group is also establishing a cryogenically cooled solid polarized target lab in DeMeritt Hall 103 in support of the Tensor Spin Observables program. We recently installed our new 7 Tesla superconducting solenoid which provides the target holding field. This project is a collaboration with the University of Virginia and Jefferson Lab polarized target groups.
A (Nuclear) Force To Be Reckoned WithNPG member Patricia Solvignon is being recognized for receiving a prestigious Early Career Research Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Tensor Asymmetry ExperimentNPG member Elena Long is the contact spokesperson for a proposal submitted to Jefferson Lab PAC 43 to measure the tensor elastic analyzing power T20 and the quasi-elastic asymmetry Azz.
Tensor Spin Observables WorkshopNPG Members Slifer, Long and Solvignon were members of the organizing committee of the Tensor Spin Observables Workshop.
Tensor Asymmetry ExperimentNPG Group member Elena Long is contact spokesperson for a Letter of Intent submitted to Jefferson Lab PAC 42.
HPS Experiment in Nature News item.
The HPS experiment has a short article in Nature News: "Physicists hunt for dark forces". And a rewrite of this article appears in Popular Science: "While the LHC Hunts Higgs, the Jefferson Accelerator Looks to Illuminate Mysterious 'Dark Photons'.
Sarah receives JSA Postdoc Grant.
Sarah Phillips (photo: Dan Mannarino)
Our research scientist, Dr. Sarah Phillips, received the prestigeous JSA Postdoc Grant for her work on the "True Muonium" experiment. This experiment will look for true muonium, the mu+ mu- bound state, which has never been seen before. The experiment would use the same equipment as the Heavy Photon Search (HPS) experiment.
The Heavy Photon Experiment gets thumbs up.
The Heavy Photon Experiment (HPS) was just approved by PAC37. The full experiment will be conditional on a successful test run, which we hope to run in 2012, before the shutdown for the 12 GeV upgrade at Jefferson Lab.The HPS will make use of a new large acceptance, high luminosity spectrometer in Hall-B. Also approved, with A rating, is the APEX experiment, which will run in Hall-A, using the existing spectrometers. APEX will also search for the heavy photon.
New Postdoc joins our group.
We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Rafayel Paramuzyan has joined our group. Rafayel will be working on the Heavy Photon Search
Hovanes gets permanent position at Jlab
Our research scientist, Hovanes Egiyan, was awarded a permanent position as Jefferson Lab Hall-D staff, where he will be working on the Hall-D equipment and experiments. He continues his membership in the CLAS collaboration.
Spin Structure Workshop at Jefferson Lab
NPG members Karl Slifer and Sarah Phillips are part of the organizing committee for the Spin Structure at Long Distance Workshop that will be held at Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia, on March 12th and 13th, 2009. The workshop covers the spin structure functions of the nucleon at low momentum transfer, with presentations by theoretical and experimental experts in the field. For more details, see the workshop website at Jefferson Lab.
This workshop is supported by the JSA Initiatives Fund, Jefferson Lab, and the University of New Hampshire.
New Faculty member joins
We are happy to welcome Prof. Patricia Solvignon, who will be joining the UNH Physics department faculty this Fall 2013 in a bridge position with Jefferson Lab.
Silicon Vertex Tracker Test Lab
Simulated picture of the SVT detector, part of the CLAS12 detector.
We just started a new project for the CLAS12 detector. We will be constucting a test lab for the Silicon Vertex tracker, the inner most detector system of the upgraded CLAS detector. A simulated picture of this detector is shown in the inset picture. The test lab will involve a complete detector readout system and an x-y-z positioning table, which will position a laser over the silicon detector to be tested.

GARDENA, Calif. --Flames engulfed a back home in Gardena overnight. Officials said at least one person was injured.
The extent of the person's injuries was not immediately known. Neighbors desperately tried to put out the flames with water hoses as they waited for help to arrive.
The fire broke out Tuesday night in a shed at a home on Denver and Rosecrans avenues. The blaze then spread to a backhouse that's now a total loss. Some animals were lost as well.
One neighbor credits his dog for barking and warning him to get out.
Investigators are looking into whether propane tanks in the shed are to blame for starting the fire.

From South Windsor, Connecticut,USA:
Can a teenager's emotional state affect their blood sugar? My 15 year old daughter is taking honor classes and playing field hockey. Presently, we are having difficulty controlling her blood sugar. When she is high (200 mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L] and above), she goes to the nurse and corrects. She has missed classes and she is not doing well in school. She is very upset about her classes and her blood sugar has been in the 200s mg/dl [over 11.1 mmol/L] during school hours during the school week. She is on a pump. Our school has banned all sodas and sugary snacks. We tell her that health is first, but she is very upset about her classes. We have taken her off the field hockey team so she can have more study time and a more structured dinner schedule. However, she has fallen behind due to missed classes and is worrying about her classes. Is her emotional state affecting our ability to control her blood sugar?
Yes, emotional stress can affect blood glucose.
Why must she go to the nurse and miss classes at all to correct when on a pump? She should just correct. Talk with your diabetes team.

Looks like the gays in Austin hosted a breakfast for Bill White, the Democratic candidate for Texas governor, on Wednesday morning. Above is a screen shot of the invitation from White's campaign website.
If you weren't invited, don't feel bad, because neither was Instant Tea. But we'll post pics or video if any turn up. And just because you missed the breakfast doesn't mean you can't help out, according to Equality Texas on Twitter. Make a contribution to White's campaign on the site.
It's nice to see White reaching out to the gays, and maybe he'll duplicate this breakfast in other cities around the state. We understand the concerns about anti-gay Republican Gov. Rick Perry using this stuff against him, but White is trailing in the race by 7 points, according to the latest poll. What does he really have to lose?
UPDATE: We found some pics and they are here.

Salome Hansen Breck, one of Denver's radio and television pioneers, died Feb. 13 in Englewood, Colo. She was 95.
She spent eight years in local radio, seven on television and 26 years as editor of the Colorado Episcopalian, a diocesan newspaper. After retiring from the Colorado paper, she edited the Journal of Women Ministries, a publication of the national Episcopal Church in New York City. Breck won 30 awards for her writing and photography in religious journalism.
Her first job in Denver was with KOA radio, where she was co-host with her husband, Mark Hansen, of the "Ned and Nancy Show." Later, Breck was co-host of a cooking show five days a week on what was then KOA-TV. It was the first women's program on Denver television.
She was teaching high school drama in Beaver City, Neb., when she met and married lawyer David Simmons in 1928. After his death, she married Hansen, a Denver journalist. After Hansen's death, she married Allen Breck, a history professor at the U. of Denver. He died in October 2000.
Breck is survived by five children, 18 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. She was also predeceased by one son.

Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa Talk Heartstrings and Eachother
Park Shin Hye will be playing Lee Kyu Won, a talented Gayageum player (a tradition Korean zither-like stringed instrument), and Jung Yong Hwa will be playing Lee Shin, a handsome vocalist of a band. This will be the first time the two will act together since 2009's 'You're Beautiful'. In the 'You're Beautiful', Jung Yong Hwa played a character who was in love with Park Shin Hye's character. Unfortunately their love was unsuccessful since Park Shin Hye chose the bad boy, Jang Geun Suk, over Jung Yong Hwa.
Jung Yong Hwa said, "In the previous drama ('You're Beautiful', I played Lee Kyu Won Kang Shin Woo, a man who was in love with Park Shin Hye's character, and was always behind watching her silently and doing everything for her. I thought he was a very cool character but was disappointed when he kept losing his chances to confess his love for her. This time I am proud of my of my role as Lee Shin, who is more open and better at expressing emotions. I'm very excited and looking forward to the stories we will have together!" Meanwhile, Park Shin Hye commented on her upcoming role, "in 'You're Beautiful', I only got things from one side of things from Jung Yong Hwa's character, but this time, I have to tend to Lee Shin as if it was a revenge of Jung Yong Hwa. Please anticipate not only our relationship, but other characters' as well." I am glad to see them in a drama together again. I don't know about you but I was rooting from them to hookup in 'You're Beautiful'. Not saying that Jeun Geun Suk is bad or anything but me likely Jung Yong Hwa more. Are you as excited to see them back together as I am or were you glad she got with Jeun Geun Suk? 'Heartstrings' will start airing on June 29th after 'Greatest Love' and will be on DramaFever sortly after! Can't wait? You can always watch 'You're Beautiful' again on DramaFever! Source: TV Report
