Establishing a concrete spreadsheet detailing costs is critical to the bottom line. To earn a decent profit in a wedding photography business, full-time photographers must charge enough to cover all costs and provide a full-time income.
Charging the right amount benefits both you and your customers. Couples want to hire photographers who will turn one of the most important days of their lives into a permanent memory. They are willing to pay good money for quality photos.
Wedding photography is hard work. You must lug heavy equipment to different locations, put up with bridezillas and nervous grooms and manage crowd control for larger wedding parties. You must charge enough to make this process go as smooth as possible and provide spectacular photos to boot. Excellent wedding photographers can typically charge two to four times their costs. To mark up your services correctly, you need to know all your costs--down to the paper clips.
- slide 2 of 15
Cost of Doing Business
The Cost of Doing Business or CODB, covers more than the Cost of Supplies or COS. CODB covers your supplies, your overhead, travel expenses and labor costs. A Cost of Doing Business Spreadsheet needs to include the following:
- Labor
- Rent
- Utilities
- Business subscriptions
- Equipment costs
- Office supplies
- Legal fees
- Software
- Printing fees
- Travel expenses
- Advertising
- Professional memberships
- slide 3 of 15
Calculating your labor costs correctly involves charging for your time and anyone else's who is on your payroll. That means charging for all the time used to perform the job proficiently such as your initial meeting with potential customers, the time spent going over the contract, any practice time involved and the post-production meeting.
Many photographers hire an apprentice to help carry equipment and assist in setting up shoots. Even if you hire a family member or an apprentice you don't pay, you still want to factor in the cost of hiring an apprentice. If there comes a time when your apprentice is not available and you have to hire an assistant, you will be paying them out of pocket. This is one reason so many small businesses go out of business--they forget to factor in all the actual costs. Paying out of pocket starts to add up quickly when you are running a business.
- slide 4 of 15
Rent and Utilities
If you rent a studio outside your home, you must factor in the cost of monthly rent and any utilities such as gas, electricity or water charges. If you work out of your home, you can add a percentage of your mortgage and utility fees to the Cost of Doing Business.
- slide 5 of 15
Business Subscriptions
A wedding photographer may subscribe to wedding photography or photography magazines. You can also include the cost of any professional photobooks or tutorials. Subscriptions also include the cost of a monthly cell phone bill used for business and any monthly Internet fees.
- slide 6 of 15
Factoring in the cost of photography equipment--tripods, cameras, lenses, film, filters--are obvious. What most wedding photography budgets fail to include are the cost of computers, printers, fax machines, cell phones or postage machines. All equipment used to run your wedding business must be included.
- slide 7 of 15
Office Supplies
This is where we get to the paper clips. All office supplies need to be included, such as computer paper, office paper, printer cartdriges, staples, staplers and paper clips.
- slide 8 of 15
Legal Fees
To get an iron-clad contract that protects you against providing your services and getting sued over a technicality, consider hiring a lawyer or paralegal to draw up a contract between you and your consumers. Make sure to factor in any legal cost into your mark up. Don't conduct business without a contract--not even for close friends. It's one of the quickest ways to end a friendship if something goes wrong. The risk isn't worth it.
- slide 9 of 15
Cost in any photography software you use to help with weddings. Also add the cost of business software such as payroll software, or billing software.
- slide 10 of 15
Printing Fees
Printing fees include photography prints, but also the cost of printing any marketing brochures or any other professional printing fees.
- slide 11 of 15
Travel Expenses
You will need to factor in the cost of the vehicle you use to get to and from your photography locations. If you use the family car, it is best to estimate the percentage of time you use it for business, add up all maintenance and monthly payments and calculate that percentage to add it to your costs. Use that same percentage to factor in the cost of gas for business travel.
- slide 13 of 15
Professional Memberships
Include professional photography or wedding associations or any memberships to business associations.
- slide 14 of 15
How to Calculate
Once all the costs have been documented, it is time to calculate how much to charge customers. For equipment, average the cost over the estimated time the equipment will last. A $1,000 computer that last five years or 60 months, costs almost $17 a month. Labor can be averaged on the hours spent on each wedding and the hourly pay of you and your workers. For a one time advertising or legal fee, such as a lawyer's fee for writing a contract, divide the cost by 12 months.
Let's use an example of a wedding photography budget breakdown that has business expenses of $2,000 a month and an average of three weddings per month. This photographer would need to charge a minimum of $1,400 per wedding. That covers all costs and allows for a markup of two times all costs, which is typically divided by the minimum number of weddings per month. According to Cost Helper, the average budget wedding photographer charges about $1,000. Moderate wedding photographers charge between $1,000 and $3,000 and luxury photographers charge $5,000 to $10,000.
Whatever you decide to charge, make sure it covers each and every business cost you have and allows you enough of a markup. Strive to become a well-fed photographer rather than a starving artist.

The new oil for digital economy
According to recent estimates, 90 percent of the data in the world today has been created in the past two years alone and its growth rate is only increasing. New technologies and businesses are required to make sense of this avalanche of data.
Data science uses state of the art mathematics and computer science methods such as statistics, machine learning, data mining and predictive analytics. This is combined with application domains such as humanities, ethics, operations and medicine. As a result, data scientists learn to identify patterns and regularities in huge data streams, combine various data sources and answer questions with and accuracy and speed that were previously not possible. As a result, data science is becoming an integral part of most types of engineering and scientific research.

World's most important protective botanical
New Chapter has been in love with turmeric for decades. We grow it on our Biodynamic* farm in Costa Rica, which is nestled in the volcanic mountains adjoining the Children's Eternal Rainforest.
has long been revered as the foundation of an herbal program for health. In India's system of Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric has been recognized for thousands of years as a key balancing and detoxifying herb. In Indonesia's traditional medical system known as Jamu, turmeric is considered the "Queen" of all herbs, and is the featured daily herb for tens of millions of Indonesians. In Japan and China, people embrace turmeric for its powerful yet safe liver detoxification, and there are societies in Japan where turmeric juice is consumed daily. In the Western medical and herbal traditions, turmeric is considered by many leading scholars to be the most important healing herb on earth.
We at New Chapter agree that turmeric is the world's most important healing herb, and we are proud that Turmericforce is the world's first and only supercritical full-spectrum turmeric extract. We take our full-spectrum turmeric, and without chemical solvents or heat stress, concentrate radiant turmeric oils as much as 200:1. This is combined with a full-spectrum hydroethanolic extract that potency assures it for at least 11% of the full curcuminoid fractions. This is not a mere isolate of standardized turmeric, offering just one or more of the curcuminoids. This is turmeric's full healing glory.*
New Chapter's Supercritical Herbal Extracts
"Supercritical" means Super Purity, Super Potency, Broad Spectrum, and No Chemical Solvents. We take nature's finest herbs and then extract and highly concentrate (as high as 250 to 1) their precious ingredients. We do not isolate out single ingredients or spike our extacts with synthesized additives. We deliver the wisdom of nature, with the complexity and organic nuances of the natural herb preserved for you. In fact, the supercritical process is the gentlest way to extract these delicate plant compounds in a manner to optimally preserve their potency and stability. And when you take
New Chapter's supercritical extracts, neither you, nor the environment, have to contend with chemical solvents.
Research from New Chapter on Tumeric:
To give a sense of the medical majesty of this herb, we offer a partial list of U.S. institutions that have published papers on turmeric and/or its most well known components, the curcuminoids. The authors of this compilation chose to identify only U.S. institutions working in this area to demonstrate to the most skeptical and provincial that the enormous potential benefits of turmeric are definitely in the sights of our most brilliant scientists. The most amazing thing about this prodigious body of work is that the public is still completely unaware.
U.S. Institutions Studying Turmeric/Curcumin
A great herbalist and teacher once stated that if, after a lifetime of study, a student could understand the activity of just one herb, then that student would be a bona fide herbalist. In our judgment, if a student should accept that challenge, an herb worthy of a lifetime's study would be turmeric. We also believe that, after a lifetime's study, the student would not even begin to understand the full complexity of this, the world's most important herb. To give a sense of the medical majesty of this herb, we offer a partial list of U.S. institutions that have published papers on turmeric and/or its most well known components, the curcuminoids. The authors of this compilation chose to identify only U.S. institutions working in this area to demonstrate to the most skeptical and provincial that the enormous potential benefits of turmeric are definitely in the sights of our most brilliant scientists. The most amazing thing about this prodigious body of work is that the public is still completely unaware.
This list obviously does not include works in progress or the most impressive findings from other research institutions around the world. Also, while many of the studies here indicate profound and complex therapeutic activities to curcumin, consider it is just one component of this herb/spice that has been revered by billions for thousands of years. Numerous studies indicate curcumin's activity and bioavailability is significantly enhanced when delivered in the context of the other 4 known curcuminoids and the hundreds of other constituents in the whole plant. Inquire for a list of these references. The formatting begins with the name of the institution, followed by the departments and the head researcher and date of the study. The PMID # is the locator at the National Library of Medicine and the number after the hyphen is the number of researchers involved in the study. The summary presents the exact findings from either the abstract or full text of the article. Parentheses are included as summaries by the authors of this compilation.

After a recent northern Wisconsin winter had left me with an empty oil tank, a barren pocketbook, woodchopper's back, and a mind fairly dancing with home-building fantasies, I made a promise to myself. By the next subzero season, my family and I would be well on our way to completing our own mortgage free, self-built, and tolerably energy-efficient house.
It was all part of a master plan I'd been mulling over that would allow us to move into an attractive home sweet home—free and clear of any debts or mortgages—for an outlay of no more than $15,000 ... $5,000 to erect the shell, and the remainder to bring it to comfortable completion. The capital, I figured, would come from our savings, life insurance policies, biweekly paychecks, and the equity from the sale of our mortgaged city home. (Luckily, we already had the land. We'd had the foresight back in 1977 to purchase, at $200 an acre, 40 acres of beautiful glaciated forest not far from town.)
All winter long I'd been poring over information on conventional and log homes, stone and rammed earth structures, pole buildings, geodesic and foam domes, earth-sheltered houses, and both active and passive solar homes ... but any way I added it up, none of those construction methods would permit us to put one over on the home-finance cartel,
There was, however, one article on cordwood construction that really got my attention. It was packed with dollar facts on three different structures built in northern climates at a cost of between $2.66 and $6.00 per square foot. Man, were they ever talking my language! I quickly got hold of three books on the construction technique (which, by the way, is also called log-end or stack wall building) and learned that it's been used for centuries and is characteristically executed today by stacking one- to two-foot lengths of finger span diameter logs firewood style, using a cement/sand/lime/sawdust mixture to hold them together at the ends, and insulating the center gaps with sawdust and lime, cellulose, polystyrene, or fiberglass stuffing.
After reading and rereading each text and working out some seat-of-the-pants calculations, I was convinced that cordwood was—considering our self-imposed financial restrictions—our only choice. My wife, Rebecca, and I spent the next weeks with a tape measure, graph paper, pencil, protractor, and a big eraser experimenting with a floor plan and overall design that'd be acceptable to us as well as to the plumbing and electrical contractors. After no fewer than 30 revisions, we finally settled on a 1,200-square-foot rectangular structure (1,064 feet of inside area) with a peaked 8/12-pitch roof and an extra 560 square feet of "second-story" living space built into the pre-engineered trusses.
With the design roughed out, I was able to start working up an accurate materials and tools list, hoping that costs would come within our budget. Unexpected price increases just weren't on the menu. If any did occur, we'd have to do our best to work around them ... since—without loans—we had no other choice.
Though almost any debarked and dried softwood is considered acceptable for stack wall construction, we chose to use red cedar for practical and aesthetic reasons. For one, it offers fine insulating qualities (with an R-value of about 1.25 per inch, or 6 times that of common brick) in addition to being naturally decay resistant. Too, it has a light, pleasant appearance, a refreshing fragrance, and—most important to us—it is readily available at reasonable cost here in northern Wisconsin.
As it turned out, we had to get the equivalent of a 14-cord supply from four different sources that we located through a newspaper ad and the state Department of Natural Resources. The forest service folks generously provided the names of some timber cutters who'd applied for cedar permits. I bargained with them for most of the wood, and hauled it off myself for an average of $25 an uncut cord!
Fortunately, the entire supply was already dry, and, for the most part, debarked. I made a peeling spud to strip the stubborn trunks and rented a cutoff saw to trim the timbers down to uniform 12 1/2"-long rounds ... splitting the thickest of these to aid the drying process. The straightest and soundest logs were cut to 8' lengths and squared on two sides to become the post-and-beam framework of the cordwood walls.
With that out of the way, we were free to jump right into construction, starting at the bottom. Our foundation was a conventional 30' X 40' insulated concrete floating slab, poured by a local contractor and finished with an anchor-bolted framework of pressure-treated 2 X 12's. The cedar posts—set wherever possible on 8' centers—rested on these sill plates and were tied together at their upper ends with doubled 2 X 10 top plates. Door and window openings were, likewise, framed with treated dimensional lumber. Erecting our home's structural skeleton was actually easier than we thought it'd be and demanded only the most basic of carpentry tools and skills. We had the entire frame up in no time and were eager to start "mudding up" the walls.
Choosing the correct mortar mix is perhaps the most critical aspect of cordwood construction. I discovered in my reading (and through some personal experimentation) that the proper combination of ingredients is crucial for success. One author-builder, Rob Roy, suggested using sawdust to improve the insulating qualities of the wall and make the mortar set better, so I included it in my recipe ... which consisted of 3 parts fine sand, 1 part portland cement, 1 part hydrated lime, 3 parts damp sawdust, and enough water to make a thick, workable mud. This time-tested ratio looks nice (it has an off-white color), sets up slowly (a masonry plus), holds a tight bond to the wood rounds, and, in theory, provides a better insulative barrier against the cold than a wood-free mortar blend.
We set the cedar logs into the frame one row at a time, spreading mortar over the top of each row to a thickness of about 3/4" and covering only 3" of the outer and inner edges of each round. The hollows created in the center could then be filled with an insulating mix of 3 parts dry sawdust to 1 part agricultural lime. Though we all tried the traditional troweling method of applying our mud, I soon preferred to scoop the mortar up in my rubber-gloved hands and plop it in place. This shortcut technique yielded a near professional look.
After one day's labor, we realized how incredibly handy the post-and-beam framework actually was: With two people working, we could lay up one full 8'-square wall section in just eight hours at an expenditure of only $34.57 ... something of an accomplishment for amateur masons!
As the walls rose, the structure took on a stone-fortress-like appearance, and visitors began rolling in to gawk, talk, and even—on occasion—work. The ubiquitous sidewalk superintendents that wandered through fell into two categories: the prophets of doom, who held that cordwood construction was impossible (since they'd never seen it before) ... and a few visionaries, who delighted in the house's innovative style, simplicity, indigenous materials, and potential for owner building.
The many weeks it took to complete the walls of our new house gave me an opportunity to appreciate fully the "sweat equity" concept that most stackwood zealots are wont to rave about. In addition to the $350 worth of red cedar we'd bought, we had to purchase only cement ($140), 11 yards of clean sand ($35), and 30 bags of hydrated lime plus one bulk load of "barn" lime ($80). Since all our sawdust was given to us from a local sawmill, the total cost for erecting all the structure's walls (1,120 square feet of surface area) came to $605 ... roughly a 260% savings over conventional stud wall construction.
After not quite three months of spare-time building, we'd reached the point where we were ready to begin work on our home's roof and upper story. The upstairs isn't a true second level, but a living space designed into the center of our roof trusses that now boasts two bedrooms, a play area, a half-bath, and ample closet storage.
According to my calculator, having the trusses built at a local plant not only allowed us this extra 560 square feet of conditioned space but also saved us about $800 compared to the cost of cutting and nailing our own ceiling and roof joists. The job went more slowly than expected, though, as late summer rainstorms hampered our efforts to sheathe and shingle the roof. By mid-August the house was finally securely covered ... and after breathing a deep sigh of relief, we mounted the windows and doors in their previously framed openings. Our cordwood home was—after five months of on-again, off-again work—dried in and protected from the winter for a total expenditure of $4,755 ... $245 under budget!
The snows of Wisconsin's worst season saw us finishing the upstairs floor (1/2" plywood over particle board) and the stairway, and furring out selected walls on the main level in preparation for nailing up local Norway pine panel boards. By spring we were ready to sell our house in town, use the equity to finish our new home, and make our move to the country.
Unfortunately, our readiness coincided with a sudden onslaught of rampant inflation and staggering 20% interest rates that created a virtual standstill in the real estate market. Caught between a rock and a hard place, we chose to borrow $8,000 from relatives—to be paid back upon the sale of our city house—rather than attempt to weather the economic storm in our old place while the new house sat in limbo.
With the newly acquired capital, the interior work accelerated to a fever pitch. We refurbished an existing well, contracted out plumbing and electrical work, installed the Norway pine ceilings and panels, built and nailed in place the cabinets, pantry, and bookcases, and—as a finishing touch—completed an interior brick chimney and purchased a sizable woodstove to be the main source of heat.
During these last months of construction, we were continually haunted by fear: What if we couldn't sell our city house? Could we leave the cordwood structure unheated if we were forced to live in town? For that matter, could we even maintain our old mortgage payments while finishing up our new home and trying to make good on our family debt? The physical, mental, and spiritual hassles of designing and building our first real home were a welcome challenge compared to the stress of being helpless in the face of economic uncertainty.
After six months of gnawing worry, we finally found a buyer for our house in town. I don't have to tell you how relieved we felt when the closing was over and I could repay our debts plus squirrel a little away in the savings account. When all the receipts were totaled, the cost of our home came to approximately $14,955 ... though I'll admit we splurged and parted with an additional $1,020 right away to upgrade our water delivery system. On the 10th of October (a date we're not likely to forget!) we spent the first night in our mortgage-free cordwood castle ... and we've been enjoying its handmade beauty, fragrance, and charm ever since.
Having gone through a project like this, I guess I shouldn't be surprised when people ask me for advice on the subject of cordwood construction. So here are my "Top Ten" suggestions, based mostly on my own hard learned lessons.
Although planning may not be the most exciting aspect of a building project, it's probably the most important and is always worth the effort. Our solar addition is a good example: Before Rebecca and I were even halfway into the design for our dream house, we realized that we'd have to allow for eventual expansion ... and our first add on would be, without question, a sun-drenched greenhouse/living area.
Naturally, this required that we orient the house properly and take into account the foliage on our property's southern face ... but it also meant that we had to arrange the floor plan to provide inside access to the sun space and make the most of the "captured" energy.
Our 408-square-foot project, completed in the fall of 1983, isn't all that fancy, but we did try a sheathing experiment that allowed us to use conventional construction techniques while still maintaining the cordwood character of the main structure.
Essentially, the addition is an L built onto the southwest corner of the house. The 10 X 21' south-facing leg boasts an insulated cobblestone brick absorber floor, a 3'-wide planting bed, and seven 34" X 76" "factory imperfect" thermopane window panels that I purchased for $16 apiece. To the rear of that, along the west wall, an 11' X 18' indoor patio area utilizes pressure-treated deck flooring (again, insulated below) and some additional thermopane glazing. A skylight placed toward the back of the "hind leg" provides some extra ambient lighting for that area, and a roof vent prevents overheating during summer's extremes. Both indoor and outdoor accesses were included.
So far, I haven't described anything out of the ordinary. In fact, even my framing technique—pressure-treated 2 X 6 studs on 24" centers spanned with 6" fiberglass batts—was rather ho-hum, as was the 2 X 4 joist, plywood, and asphalt-shingle roof. But I got really jazzed about a cordwood/ stucco siding idea that let me finish off the sun space's exterior quickly and inexpensively without sacrificing the cordwood motif.
To make each section of 4' X 8' siding, I took a sheet of 1/2" CDX plywood (el cheapo 3-ply, $7-a-sheet stuff) and tacked chicken wire to its surface. Then I simply nailed and glued 2"-thick cedar rounds of various diameters (left over from my house-building cuttings) to the board and filled between the logs with a thick layer of sawdust/cement/lime mortar. I figure the cost of each panel to be about $10, which is a bargain considering that the work is not labor intensive. To carry the theme of the house through to the inside as well, I covered the interior greenhouse walls with the same Norway pine used in the bedrooms and parts of the living room. All told, using a good many recycled materials, our "cordwood" addition came to $1,665 in out-of-pocket expenses. Considering that it provides us with an extended living area, a place to grow veggies early and late in the season, and a "heat bank" in the form of the absorber floor and the true cordwood masonry corner wall, we think it's a worthwhile investment in our future.
EDITOR'S NOTE. Soon after he had completed his cordwood home, the author began work on a manuscript detailing a number of aspects of stackwood building. His 114-page paperback book, Cordwood Construction: A Log End View, includes black-and-white photographs, diagrams, formulas, suggestions, experiences, and a thorough appendix.
There are several other fine books on the subject, all of which were used by the author in the construction of his home. These are Building the Cordwood Home by Jack Henstridge. Stackwall: How to Build It by The Northern Housing Committee of The University of Manitoba. And Cordwood Masonry Houses: A Practical Guide for the Owner-Builder by Robert L. Roy.

I've been super busy making sail bags over the past month or two. We've had several graduation and teacher gift orders (just in time for a summer at the beach!) And of course there are all those June babies who need an awesome diaper bag. I love this one that I made for my girlfriend Carrie's new baby Everett:
And it's not just the sewing and splicing that's been keeping me busy; we've had a couple used sails come in that master cutter S graciously cut to size for me. It's soooo much easier to do this in the yard all at once - especially since we don't have any rooms big enough in the beehive to spread out the full sails.

Investigating How Electrons Magically Work to Make High Temperature Superconductivity (HTS) – a journey to find the microscopic mechanism
- KIM Chang Young, Associate Director of the Center for Correlated Electron Systems (CCES) and Professor at Seoul National University (SNU) -
Interview Preview
Q: What are strongly correlated materials?
Q: Superconductivity has been your long-time research topic, right?
Q: We heard that you resolved a 30-year-old mystery.
Zero electrical resistance in superconductors below their critical temperatures. Therefore, we can maintain electrical current without a power source and even store electrical energy by using superconductors. Recently, a group at CCES published a paper on superconductivity and raised the hope for the discovery of a "dream" superconductor that can be used in an industrial scale.
Commercial Applicability of Iron-based Superconductors
"We significantly raised the critical temperature for an iron-pnictide superconductor and in that respect, its commercial application has become more attainable," explained Kim about the paper he published in Nature Materials online on August 16. The key to commercially usable superconductors is raising their critical or transitional temperatures, and his team succeeded in increasing the temperature by 17 K, from 24K to 41.7K (-249℃ to -231℃).
Since the 1986 discovery of a copper-based HTS which becomes superconducting at 35K (-238℃), the critical temperature of copper-based superconductors has been raised to 135K (-138℃) or higher, rendering their applications within commercial reach at least in terms of critical temperature. However, other roadblocks impede their actual commercial applications: High production costs using rare earth ingredients such as scandium and yttrium, and nonuniformed functions when mass produced. So, recent research has been directed toward cheaper and more manageable iron-based superconductors which are iron-pnictides or iron-chalcogenides. Doping effects, the transfer of electrons or electron holes to a superconductor using a minuscule amount of impurities or carriers, have been utilized to raise the critical temperatures of these iron-based superconductors.
Kim and his team adopted this electron doping. They attached atoms of two alkaline metals, potassium (K) and sodium (Na), onto the surface of an iron-pnictide superconductor for electron transfer and succeeded in raising its critical temperature. "This result is meaningful not only because we achieved a higher transitional temperature but also because it has laid a cornerstone for building a unified theory which will explain superconductivity in both iron-pnictides and iron-chalcogenides," explained Kim. This is because by measuring the electron structures, the research has challenged the previous theory assuming a correlation between the nesting condition* and superconductivity in iron-pnictides. It demonstrated that the nesting condition is not an essential part of the superconductivity in iron-pnictides.
* Nesting condition is a measurement of similarity between two different Fermi surfaces. As the similarity grows, the nesting condition becomes better. Conventionally, transitional temperatures of iron-pnictides were thought of being proportional to the nesting condition. Popular theories explained that iron-pnictides and iron-chalcogenides become superconducting in different working mechanisms and the nesting condition was related only with iron-pnictides.
Two research groups based in Japan and in the US gave valuable help to Kim's team. In order to observe superconductivity, using an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) was necessary to measure the momentum and energy of an electron in solids and sophisticated samples are requisites for ARPES experiments. "We obtained high quality samples of Ba (Fe1.94Co0.06) 2As2, an iron-pnictide, from a team led by Dr. Masamichi Nakajima at Osaka University in Japan and conducted the ARPES experiments at the Advanced Light Source of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US, the optimal facility for the deposition of alkaline metals on the surfaces of the samples," said Kim. "I have been submitting research proposals to secure time slots for experiments at ALS and Dr. Nakajima and me go way back to the days when he was working together for international joint research as a Ph.D. student."
Toward a unified theory that explains all copper-oxide superconductors
Kim' research did not start off with superconductivity in the beginning. As a graduate student at Stanford University in the department of Applied Physics, he has studied semi-conductor surfaces by analyzing photoelectrons with a photoelectron spectroscopy equipment he developed. After earning his Ph. D. he accepted an offer from Professor Zhi-Xun Shen and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Stanford Synchroton Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) for about six years. He was in charge of designing and constructing a beam line at SSRL in addition to his research.
In 1995, Kim began researching copper oxides which take up a sizable portion of the known HTS group. "I studied chain-structured copper oxides and experimentally proved the spin-charge separation of electrons in them," said Kim. It was theoretically known that the spin and electric charge, two properties of an electron, behave together in normal conditions but can decouple as spinions and holons when electrons are in a one-dimensional solid. He found an experimental evidence for this decoupling phenomenon using synchrotron based ARPES, and reported the result in Physical Review Letters in 1996. Ten years later, he succeeded in observing distinctively split bands for spinions and holons. The results were published in Nature Physics in 2006. It was a complete experimental demonstration of the spin-charge separation.
Later, Kim participated in pioneering research on iridium oxide, and also fully resolved the issue in the Rashba effect. "I recently got an important outcome from my long-time work on electron doped copper oxide HTSs. I am hoping that it will also lead to a unified theory to explain superconductivity in all copper oxides. We are currently preparing a paper on that," commented Kim. Electron-doped and hole-doped superconductors are the two types of copper oxide superconductors.
As an expert on superconductivity, in particular, electron- doped copper oxide superconductors and iron-based superconductors, he worked as an editor for the Progress in Superconductivity and Cryogenics. He's also been serving as an executive of the Korean Superconductivity Society since 2011. "The first is discovery of a room temperature HTS and finding the microscopic theory that clearly explains the HTS mechanism." answered Kim when asked about the major issues in the field of superconductivity. About the roadblocks toward commercial applications of superconductors, "If the production process is simplified for HTSs, the production cost will go down which will enhance the possibility for commercial use." A project is going on in Korea to replace some parts of the power grid with superconducting cables.
"Next focus will be electron orbits"
After 14 years with Yonsei University, what made him decide to join CCES? "For leading research, it is important to work together with researchers from the same field, not to mention enough funding support. I thought joining CCES would be a good opportunity to obtain this critical mass of researchers, "said Kim.
The research at CCES is divided by groups with their own areas: Director NOH Tae Won's group studies infrared spectroscopy and the properties of thin films; Associate Director PARK Je-Geun's group focuses on the growth of single-crystal samples and the properties of magnetism; and Kim's group investigates the electronic structures of materials using ARPES.
Commonly, strongly correlated materials are investigated in terms of their electronic structures and spin, but his focus in the future will be electron orbitals. He already explained the Rashba effect by identifying the bigger roles of electron orbitals (than spins) in spin-orbit-coupled materials*. "I plan to focus on electron orbitals such as the role of orbital degrees of freedom in superconductors."
* Spin-orbit-coupled materials: The spin and orbital of an electron usually behave separately but may interact with each other when the material has a large atomic number. This spin-orbit interaction (coupling) is responsible for the Rashba effect, Spin Hall Effect (SHE) and the property of topological insulators.
It is over one year since Kim has been designing and constructing the equipments in his lab. The construction is expected to be completed within the year, or if not, early next year. The existing ARPES eqipment, combined with a new piece will be reconstructed as an integrated system. "We can do more with the sum of the two that two isolated systems." explained Kim. "For example, we can grow a sample and experiment with it immediately in the vacuum chamber without taking it outside."
He is also aware of his responsibilities for the research community he belongs to. "IBS CCES has some roles to play for the fellow scientists in community of correlated materials research. Our center should be a place on which people can count when nowhere else provides access to the equipment they need. Also, it should be a place where talented researchers gather and grow their research capabilities.
His future goal? "Conduct research that initiates something rather than follows. I want to venture into new areas which nobody has ever tried," said Kim. "What IBS needs may be the government's patience to watch how it evolves. We need a guarantee in constant support more than bigger budgets," he emphasized.

Jeremy Renner Interview
AM Talks To The Hurt Locker Star
Quick BioBorn in California, the 38-year-old Renner has appeared in countless television shows and numerous films. He starred alongside Brad Pitt in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and won an Independent Spirit award for his lead performance in Dahmer, portraying the infamous serial killer with an eerie poignancy. But The Hurt Locker is Renner's tour de force. He plays James as if he is James -- and the result is thrilling: a breakout performance at the age of 38, which has won him critical accolades and one of the film's nine Oscar nominations.
When you entered this project, did you know it would be a passion that would consume so much of your time? If not, when did you realize that it would?
Jeremy Renner : When I first got the script, I was in London filming 28 Days Later and I was so excited, I couldn't stop thinking about the story. I was obsessed. I need to react to a script, to feel strongly about it in some way. And I need it to be a complex character for sure. And also, I think a lot about what kind of audience there is for the film, what they're looking for and ways to connect with them in the playing of a character. Because it did take so long to produce, I spent a lot of time learning about the character, giving both Mark and Kathryn my thoughts on the character. Once Kathryn told me that it wasn't going to go to anyone else, that the part was mine, I felt trusted and just threw myself into it.
Is a project like this something one can tackle alone, or do you need a support system?
JR: The script is important -- the director, obviously, the cast, particularly on a project like The Hurt Locker. The people I'm going to be working and collaborating with are very important when I'm deciding to go into a project. So this was a role any actor would have wanted to play. I really connected with the material, the complexities and the richness of the role. On the page the material was already terrific, the character interesting and multifaceted. I related to the character personally in a lot of ways. I like the idea that he's an anti-hero, that he's not black and white. There are a lot of subtleties to him that I learned about as the project progressed.
How did you prepare for a role this intense?
JR: I got to blow stuff up, which was my ultimate fantasy when I was 14 years old. I remember thinking: "Boy, this is awesome!" I also spent a lot of time at a military base in California, getting to know these people as individuals and getting involved with them as friends as well, having them come visit me, talking to them about their lives. We wanted to be as accurate as we could in portraying these people, who put their lives on the line for our freedoms and liberties. We wanted to maintain respect for the people that really do this kind of work.
What are some of the biggest obstacles that you encountered in production?
JR: Filming in Jordan, although to film in Jordan was probably the biggest and best decision that was made. We weren't sure where we were going to film at the beginning. But the movie would not be what it is without the architecture, the people, the feeling that we got from shooting in Jordan. There were elements of danger to be sure, but people were welcoming and helpful and it was just an incredible experience to be there.
How do you feel now that the project is over and it's getting such incredible accolades?
JR: We always knew, even at the beginning, that the film would move people, that it was special. And how lucky am I to have been part of it? I don't take its success for granted for one moment.

(Updates to close)
* HSI edges down 0.1 pct, CSI300 slips 0.5 pct
* Chinese banks ease on doused RRR cut hopes
* Tingyi jumps after earnings, investors cheer outlook
* China property A-shares weak, more sector curbs feared
By Clement Tan
HONG KONG, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Hong Kong and China shares
fell on Monday, with growth-sensitive sectors hurt most after a
mainland Chinese newspaper controlled by the central bank
reported that cuts in reserve requirements for commercial
lenders are unlikely in the near term.
Doused easing expectations were aggravated by data over the
weekend that showed housing prices in China rising for a second
straight month, renewing fears that Beijing may seek to step up
a two-year campaign to curb housing inflation.
Shares of Chinese developers and related sectors listed in
the mainland were hard hit, extending their downward spiral from
the time that data on July 18 revealed the first rise in China
housing prices in nine months.
The CSI300 Index of top Shanghai and Shenzhen
listings slipped 0.51 percent, while the Shanghai Composite
Index shed 0.38 percent after earlier plumbing a near
3-1/2 year low at midday.
The Hang Seng Index shed 0.06 percent to 20,104.27,
paring midday losses to return above the 20,000-point level that
it has finished above for the bulk of the last two weeks.
All four benchmark indexes recovered to finish near the
session's highs, but losses came in weak volume that traders
said were partly the reason for choppy trade on the day.
Mainland Chinese markets suffered mainly because money supply
stayed tight.
"It's a case of the Monday blues," said Jackson Wong,
vice-president for equity sales at Tanrich Securities. "There's
definitely some fatigue because people have been going into the
weekends expecting Beijing to act and nothing happens."
Smaller Chinese banks were among the harder hit in the
sector. China Merchants Bank Co Ltd , which
posted a 25.7 percent rise in first-half net profit to 23.38
billion yuan after markets closed on Friday, slid 1.4 percent in
both Hong Kong and Shanghai.
The state-run Shanghai Securities News reported on Monday
that Beijing could move to expand a property tax pilot scheme to
include more cities or adjust presale requirements for property
Shanghai-listed Poly Real Estate (Group) Co Ltd
dropped 3 percent to the lowest since April. It is still up 20
percent this year, but has lost 15 percent since July 18, when
data showed housing prices in China rose for the first time in
nine months.
"Mainland investors are definitely more sensitive to housing
prices, although I think the latest monthly increase is more an
effect of interest rate cuts," Wong added.
Corporate earnings were a focus and are set to remain so for
the rest of the month. China's August flash PMI on Thursday
could also offer investors fresh clues on the slowdown in the
world's second-largest economy.
In a report on Monday, Goldman Sachs analysts said overall
earnings were flat year on year, excluding financials, from the
24 MSCI China companies that posted first-half earnings as of
Aug. 17, representing 24 percent of market capitalisation.
Including financials, overall earnings declined by 1 percent.
"First-half earnings so far have reached 46 percent of
annual consensus forecasts, weaker than the 53 percent achieved
in the first half last year," they said in the same report.
Chinese instant noodle producer Tingyi (Cayman Islands)
Holding Corp jumped 5 percent to close at the highest
since May 4. Gains accelerated after it posted at midday
first-half net profit on optimism that cost controls will
improve margins for the rest of the year.
Before Monday, Tingyi was down 15.8 percent this year and
trading at 25 times its forward 12-month earnings, a 2.8 percent
premium to its historical median, according to Thomson Reuters
China Pacific Insurance (Group) Co Ltd
fell 1.2 percent in Hong Kong and 3.5 percent in Shanghai after
posting a 55 percent fall in first-half net profit to 2.67
billion yuan.

Immersed boundary method has proved its efficacy in handling complex fluid structure interaction problems in the field of biological fluid dynamics. Inspired by the bacterial propulsion, we are interested to study the interaction of a rotating elastic cylindrical rod in a viscous fluid, where the flow is induced by the rotation of the rod. We developed a three dimensional computational model based on the immersed boundary method (IBM) in which Eulerian variables are used for the fluid flow and Lagrangian variables are used for the elastic rod motion. The Navier-Stokes equations governing the fluid flow are solved based on finite volume method on a staggered Cartesian grid system. The elastic rod is modeled by a number of circular rings with immersed boundary points on each ring. The motor part is modeled by a single circular ring at the base. We simulated for two cases- a straight and slightly bent rod and for an inclined rod. We found that for low rotational frequencies of the motor, the elastic rod undergoes simple axial rotation known as twirling motion and for high rotational frequencies it undergoes whirling motion with a discontinuous shape transition from straight to helical shape resulting into overwhirling. This research was supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (2010-0147).

Intense redness, multiple raised bumps and fluid-containing pustules on a baby's bottom require evaluation by a medical professional, according to Destin, leading maker of diaper rash ointment. However, mild rashes with a few raised bumps and redness are usually treatable at home using over-the-counter products.Continue Reading
If the baby cries when a parent touches the affected area or if the baby has a rash with blisters or bleeding, medical evaluation is necessary, notes Destin. Additionally, if the baby has a fever or if the rash spreads to other parts of the body, such as the face or arms, a doctor should evaluate the rash. Likewise, if the rash does not improve after seven days of treatment or if it goes away and comes back, it is necessary to seek medical attention.Learn more about Babies & Toddlers

Non-NHS Services
The NHS provides most healthcare to most people free of charge, but there are exceptions i.e. prescription charges, and there are a number of other services for which fees are charged. Sometimes the charge is made to cover some of the cost of treatment e.g. dental fees; in other cases it is because it is not covered by the NHS, for example: medical reports for insurance companies.
Private medical services are not covered by the NHS and there is a fee charged to cover the costs of the extra work.
What is covered by the NHS and what is not?
NHS England's contract with GPs covers medical services to NHS patients. In recent years, more and more organisations have been involving doctors in a whole range of non-medical work. Sometimes the only reason that GPs are asked is because they are in a position of trust in the community or because an insurance company or employer wants to be sure that information provided is true and accurate.
The most common services for which fees are charged include:
|Type of Service
|Payable By
|Certificate of existence
|Passport signature
|Sick note (private)
|Freedom from infection certificate
|Fitness to travel certificate
|Fitness for sport certificate
|Firearms certificate
|BUPA etc insurance claims
|Holiday cancellation claim form
|Report to DVLA
|Medical Attendant's report for insurance
|Insurance Company/Patient
|Reports to employers
|Fitness to undertake exercise regime
|Childminder health form
|Medical examinations for insurance or employment
|Patient/Insurance Company/Employer
|Lasting Power of Attorney examination
|Completion of D4 (HGV etc)
|Medical examinations for sport or fitness to travel
|Some travel vaccinations and medication
Details of the charges may be obtained from Reception. There is also a list of fees in the waiting room on the notice board. Please note that VAT is payable on some items.
I only need the doctor's signature - what is the problem?
In order to complete even the simplest of forms the doctor might have to check the patient's entire medical record. Carelessness or an inaccurate report can have serious consequences for the doctor with the General Medical Council or even the Police.
What can I do to help?
Not all documents need signing by a doctor, for example passport applications. You can ask another person in a position of trust to sign such documents free of charge.
Do not expect your GP to process forms overnight; urgent requests may mean that a doctor has to make special arrangements to process the form quickly, and this will cost more.

I have now been using this for at lease two weeks.
The product description for the items can be seen below, kindly click on the picture to enlarge and make the details more readable
it is milky white and just a smidge / tad thicker than the white lucent and the tsuya
it absorbs just a tad longer than the white lucent and the tsuya but all three get absorbed without any oily residue
the ingredients of the products included in the special set are below.
and below is the spot treatment, much thicker than the original essence
but is absorbed easily as well
and does not leave a sticky oily residue
and the tone up corrector
the pink / beige hue does not appear on my skin, sadly, so i do still apply either bb cream or foundation on top of this when i know i'm going out for walk.
but it dries semi matte on me
and as you can see below, i still need at least bb cream to at least not look like i'm auditioning for the walking dead tv series season 15.
After my trips to Cambodia and day tour at Corregidor, I must admit I am no longer the NC15-20 for Mac or a 117 for Makeup Forever and people can tell that my coloring is slightly off compared to what they are used to. It's half the reason why i even used the white lucent to begin with. (some of you may know that i really am not into whitening anything but thanks to my Corregidor trip, I am able to test these products out for my self)
How I was advised to use this set is:
- skin refiner first, it's like a toner
- followed by the emulsion
- then lastly - if at night time, the original essence
- if during the day, then apply the tone corrector for sun screen
As a whole - set:
- almost the complete set i would need if i go travel the packaging is quite handy and easy to store
- all of the products even piled on on top of each other does not feel heavy on the skin
- all are easily absorbed by my skin
- did not break me out
- very mild scent that doesn't make me sneeze
- works albeit not as fast or with shocking speed as the white lucent, this white plus renew offers the same brightening as the white lucent just at a slower rate (it's even slower than the tsuya)
- the price of the original essence by itself is much cheaper then both the white lucent and the tsuya
- the original essence is available in stores but this special set has yet to reach the robinson's galeria branch (i checked last Tuesday), hopefully it's available by now.
- quite moisturizing by themselves without either the water sleeping pack or the firming pack on top before i go to bed
- does not make me oily throughout the night or the day
- does not work as fast as the white lucent but for the price, i think it's rather commensurate to the rate of brightening per peso ratio
- the medicine dropper type of dispensing the product, even if i know i have clean fingers, i still feel weird touching the tip of the dropper because i'd feel much weirder dropping a drop of product having the tip an inch away from my ring finger
As you know, I'm not one for brightening and specially whitening. I'm for just keeping status quo and enhancing what you have as per skin color. But a great deal of women prefer to be fairer than how they currently are and feel they look younger and more attractive with brighter and whiter skin. Soooo, if that's what you are looking for the white plus renew special set could be something you can check out before investing in the full sizes. I will say that I will buy the white plus renew eye cream and the tone up corrector full size. I like Laneige sun screens and i believe in their skin care.
I'm still using this set and will continue to do so. I'm trying to even out the skin tone of my face to at least my neck. if that's a fair assessment of how I recommend this product then so be it.

2018 Buick Regal line offers utility and performance
DETROIT - A big part of Buick's reinvention of the last seven years has been a number of sporty performance cars designed to appeal to younger buyers. The 2018 Buick Regal will continue in that direction with a lineup of engaging designs including the 310-horsepower Buick Regal GS. We were able to test-drive all of the upcoming Regal models recently at GM's Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan.
The basic Regal for 2018 will be a compact four-door "Sportback" coupe with a large rear hatch that encompasses the entire rear window. The hatch offers a large access point for the trunk while folding rear seats further enlarge the potential cargo space. The 2018 Regal will also be available as a five-door station wagon, called the Regal TourX.
Both the Regal Sportback and TourX offer a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 250 horsepower. The Sportback is available with your choice of front-wheel- or Buick's intelligent all-wheel-drive. All TourX models come with all-wheel-drive. Front-wheel-drive Regals use an 9-speed automatic transmission, while all-wheel-drive models use a 8-speed automatic.
The star of the Regal lineup is the all-new Regal GS. The GS is based on the Sportback body and powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine rated at 310 horsepower and 282 pound-feet of torque. The GS is equipped with the 9-speed automatic transmission and intelligent AWD.
The GS also boasts sport features including upgraded Brembo brakes, an active suspension capable of 500 adjustments per second, and a GS driving mode that tightens both suspension and steering response. The sport treatment continues with 19-inch wheels, unique sport seats, and a racing-inspired flat-bottomed steering wheel.
The technology story on the new Regal line includes an available 8-inch touchscreen interface with Bose sound system and active noise cancellation. GM's signature OnStar safety and convenience system is standard with a 5 year basic service plan included.
On the road, the Regal Sportback and TourX models offer good performance. The TourX will be a favorite among Portland drivers for its versatile wagon styling, panoramic sunroof, and slightly raised ride height. This is a wagon that will keep you mobile and comfortable no matter what next winter throws at us. The Sportback also offers more configurable capacity than conventional coupes or sedans.
But if you're looking for performance, the Regal GS has got it. The large-displacement 3.6-liter V6 delivers instant power, and a quick punch of the GS mode button prepares the car for a windy mountain road or a quick run around the race track.
The 2018 Regal line will be available for sale later this fall, and the starting price of the Regal Sportback will be $26,840 including all fees. That price is about $2,000 lower than the corresponding 2017 Regal. The Regal TourX will start at $30,920, and the Regal GS will retail starting at $40,915.
2018 Buick Regal GS
Base price: $39,990

Engine: 3.6-liter V6 (310 hp, 282 lbs-ft)

SAN JOSE (CBS SF) – Mourners packed HP Pavilion in San Jose for a memorial Thursday for two Santa Cruz police officers killed in the line of duty last week.
The speakers included former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, California Attorney General Kamala Harris, Santa Cruz Police Chief Kevin Vogel and Santa Cruz Mayor Hilary Bryant.
Gov. Jerry Brown was among those attending Thursday's memorial, but he did not speak.
Santa Cruz police Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker and Detective Elizabeth Butler were gunned down the afternoon of Feb. 26 while following up on a report of a misdemeanor sexual assault. The shooter, 35-year-old Jeremy Goulet, was later killed in a gun battle with authorities.
- Raw Video: Memorial For Slain Santa Cruz Police Officers
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
Singer James Durbin, of American Idol fame, performed the song "Arms Wide Open" at the request of the victims' family members.
The memorial was held at the 20,000-seat HP Pavilion because there were no venues in Santa Cruz big enough to accommodate the expected crowds.
However, a live broadcast of the memorial was shown at the Kaiser Permanente Arena at 140 Front St. in Santa Cruz.
The two officers' flag-draped coffins were displayed on the floor of the venue, flanked by two Santa Cruz police patrol cars. Podiums and floral wreaths had been set up on a stage nearby, and a bagpipe ensemble began and ended the proceedings.
During the ceremony, there were photos of Butler as a girl and as a teenager, then pregnant and with a newborn. She left behind her partner Peter Wu and her children, 5-year-old Joaquin and 2-year-old Stellan.
A few minutes later, while the song "Endless Love" played, a photo of what appeared to be Baker and his wife at their high school prom was shown, along with photos of Baker with his children at the beach, at birthday parties, and at a Giants game at AT&T Park.
The program states that Baker and his wife were "childhood sweethearts and lifelong soulmates."
"Butch and his wife Kelly were 10 and 11 years old when their love story began," the program read.

Co-Founder and CMO
Download high-resolution photos of Link-Assistant.Com's Founders
Link-Assistant.Com started back in 2004 when two developers, Viktar Khamianok and Aleh Barysevich, decided to launch a custom software development business. They built a website and picked search engine optimization (SEO) as a way of attracting clients and improving their online presence.
At this point, Viktar and Aleh knew very little about SEO, but it didn't take them long to realize that there was no comprehensive product on the market to take newbies like them by hand through the entire SEO process. They did find a bunch of small tools, each focusing on one SEO task. They found a great keyword research tool, a Google PageRank checker, another tool to spot broken links, but no one great product to do it all.
That's when it hit them: THEY should develop the world's greatest SEO software! So that was how the idea of Link-Assistant.Com was born.
A couple of days, nights, and gallons of coffee later, Viktar and Aleh came up with a prototype of the first app in the SEO PowerSuite series, a link building tool called LinkAssistant (hence the website and company name, Link-Assistant.Com).
They tried promoting their own site with LinkAssistant, and it worked great. They took it public and after a short beta stage attached a price tag to it. And you know what? It started selling like hotcakes! It was an incredible feeling the founders could hardly describe: joy, excitement and knowing they're on the right path!
Then followed 10 amazing years of steep learning, getting the hang of SEO industry's best practices, keeping up with innovation and constant changes in SEO, and implementing it all in the tools.
Link-Assistant.Com has grown from nothing into a professional software house with 4 great products on board of SEO PowerSuite. The company has upwards of 20 fantastic team members and 500,000 people from 173 countries who have used SEO PowerSuite over these years.
All of this has been made possible with zero venture funding. Just an idea, Viktar and Aleh's love for code, their perfectionism in product creation, and a vision for making something great for all SEOs out there.
If you want to interview Viktar or Aleh or quote them for your article, please write to email@example.com.

"It Gets Better" Project To Inspire Students in Eisenhower
The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles will present It Gets Better on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Eisenhower Auditorium.
"It Gets Better" is a moving web-based project that was created to show young LGBT people a bright future for their lives if they can just get through their teen years, when struggles are often paramount.
The project has joined with the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles and Speak Theater Arts to tour the nation with a new theatrical production. It Gets Better is upbeat and exciting, with a storyline that includes moments of pain and sorrow. The performance develops from members of the chorus working with local performers, citizens, and community organizations to respond to issues of bullying and teen violence while striving to give motivation to those currently undergoing challenges.
It Gets Better is an inspiring production that shows not only the LGBT community, what "better" means through meaningful real-life stories, songs, and multimedia content.
Each of the cast members is gay and has had "It Gets Better" experiences throughout their life. Everyone in the audience, despite their sexual preference, is encouraged to come listen to the relatable stories.
Tickets to the show are $10 for University Park students. The content of the show is not suitable for young children due to the inclusion of some strong language.
