It is advisable that authors prepare their manuscript using the template available on the Web, which will assist in preparation of the manuscript according to Journal's Format.Download the Template.
Our contracted service provider Eureka Science. can, if needed, provide professional assistance to authors for the improvement of English language and figures in manuscripts.
Manuscripts may be divided into the following sections:
It is mandatory that a signed copyright letter should also be submitted along with the manuscript by the author to whom correspondence is to be addressed, delineating the scope of the submitted article, declaring potential competing interests, acknowledging contributions from authors and funding agencies, and certifying that the paper is prepared according to the 'Instructions for Authors'. All inconsistencies in the text and in the reference section and any typographical errors must be carefully checked and corrected before the submission of the manuscript. The article should not contain any such material or information that may be unlawful, defamatory, fabricated, plagiarized, or which would, if published, in any way whatsoever, violate the terms and conditions as laid down in the copyright agreement. The authors acknowledge that the publishers have the legal right to take appropriate action against the authors for any such violation of the terms and conditions as laid down in the copyright agreement. Download the Copyright letter
The title of the article should be precise and brief and must not be more than 120 characters. Authors should avoid the use of non-standard abbreviations. The title must be written in title case except for articles, conjunctions and prepositions.
Authors should also provide a short 'running title'. Title, running title, byline, correspondent, footnote and keywords should be written as presented in the original manuscript.
Title page should include paper title, author(s) full name and affiliation, corresponding author(s) names and complete affiliation/address, along with phone, fax and email.
The abstract of an article should be its clear, concise and accurate summary, having no more than 250 words, and including the explicit sub-headings (as in-line or run-in headings in bold). Use of abbreviations should be avoided and the references should not be cited in the abstract. Ideally, each abstract should include the following sub-headings, but these may vary according to requirements of the article.
A graphic must be included with each manuscript for use in the Table of Contents (TOC). This must be submitted separately as an electronic file (preferred file types are EPS, PDF, TIFF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and CDX etc.). A graphical abstract, not exceeding 30 words along with the illustration, helps to summarize the contents of the manuscript in a concise pictorial form. It is meant as an aid for the rapid viewing of the journals' contents and to help capture the readers' attention. The graphical abstract may feature a key structure, reaction, equation, etc. that the manuscript elucidates upon. It will be listed along with the manuscript title, authors' names and affiliations in the contents page, typeset within an area of 5 cm by 17 cm, but it will not appear in the article's PDF file or in print.
Graphical Abstracts should be submitted as a separate file (must clearly mention graphical abstract within the file) online via Bentham's Content Management System by selecting the option "Supplementary material".
6 to 8 keywords must be provided.
The main text should begin on a separate page and should be divided into separate sections. The manuscript should be divided into title page, abstract and the main text. The text may be subdivided further according to the areas to be discussed, which should be followed by the Acknowledgements and Reference sections. The Review Article should mention any previous important recent and old reviews in the field and contain a comprehensive discussion starting with the general background of the field. It should then go on to discuss the salient features of recent developments. The authors should avoid presenting material which has already been published in a previous review. The authors are advised to present and discuss their observations in brief. The manuscript style must be uniform throughout the text and 10 pt Times New Roman fonts should be used. The full term for an abbreviation should precede its first appearance in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement. The reference numbers should be given in square brackets in the text. Italics should be used for Binomial names of organisms (Genus and Species), for emphasis and for unfamiliar words or phrases. Non-assimilated words from Latin or other languages should also be italicized e.g. per se, et al. etc.
The NIH acknowledges the misidentification and/or cross-contamination of cell cultures e.g. HeLa cells being used in a research study as a serious problem. In order to ensure validation of the work and proper utilization of resources, it is a prerequisite that correct reagents be used in studies dealing with established human (tumor) cell lines that have been cultured for more than 4 years up to the date of submission of the manuscript. Cell lines such as short-term cultures of human tumors, murine cell lines (as a catalog of DNA profiles is not yet available) and tumor cell lines established in the course of the study that is being submitted, are presently exempt from this rule. To minimize the risk of working with misidentified and/or contaminated cell lines, tests such as isoenzyme analysis, karyotyping/cytogenetic analysis and, more recently, molecular techniques of DNA profiling may be carried out to authenticate cell cultures. These tests may help confirm or establish the identify profile for a cell line. Bentham Science recommends that all cell lines be authenticated prior to submitting a paper for review. Authors are therefore required to provide authentication of the origin and identity of the cells by performing cell profiling either in their own laboratory or by outsourcing an approved laboratory or cell bank. Authentication is required when a new line is established or acquired, before freezing a cell line, if the performance of the line is not consistent or results are unexpected, if using more than one cell line, and before publication of the study.
The cell lines profile should be cross-checked with the profile of the donor tissue of other continuous cell lines such as provided by the authentic data bank such as www.dsmz.de/fp/cgi-bin/str.html, ATCC® etc.
All clinical investigations must be conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki principles. For all manuscripts reporting data from studies involving human participants, formal review and approval by an appropriate institutional review board or ethics committee is required. For research involving animals, the authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the standards set forth in the eighth edition of Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the National Academy of Sciences, The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C.).
A specific declaration of such approval must be made in the copyright letter and in a stand-alone paragraph at the end of the Methods section especially in the case of human studies where inclusion of a statement regarding obtaining the written informed consent from each subject or subject's guardian is a must. The original should be retained by the guarantor or corresponding author. Editors may request to provide the original forms by fax or email.
Greek symbols and special characters often undergo formatting changes and get corrupted or lost during preparation of manuscript for publication. To ensure that all special characters used are embedded in the text, these special characters should be inserted as a symbol but should not be a result of any format styling (Symbol font face) otherwise they will be lost during conversion to PDF/XML.
Authors are encouraged to consult reporting guidelines. These guidelines provide a set of recommendations comprising a list of items relevant to their specific research design. Chemical equations, chemical names, mathematical usage, unit of measurements, chemical and physical quantity & units must conform to SI and Chemical Abstracts or IUPAC.
All kinds of measurements should be reported only in International System of Units (SI).
A small paragraph summarizing the contents of the article, presenting the final outcome of the research or proposing further study on the subject, may be given at the end of the article under the Conclusion section.
If abbreviations are used in the text either they should be defined in the text where first used, or a list of abbreviations can be provided.
Financial contributions and any potential conflict of interest must be clearly acknowledged under the heading 'Conflict of Interest'. Authors must list the source(s) of funding for the study. This should be done for each author.
All individuals listed as authors must have contributed substantially to the design, performance, analysis, or reporting of the work and are required to indicate their specific contribution. Anyone (individual/company/institution) who has substantially contributed to the study for important intellectual content, or was involved in the in drafting or revising the manuscript must also be acknowledged.
Guest or honorary authorship based solely on position (e.g. research supervisor, departmental head) is discouraged
The specific requirements for authorship have been defined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (www.icmje.org). Examples of authors' contributions are: 'designed research/study', 'performed research/study', 'contributed important reagents', 'collected data', 'analyzed data', 'wrote paper' etc. This information must be included in the submitted manuscript as a separate paragraph under the heading 'Acknowledgements'. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining permission from all co-authors for the submission of any version of the manuscript and for any changes in the authorship.
References must be listed in the numerical system (Vancouver). All references should be numbered sequentially [in square brackets] in the text and listed in the same numerical order in the reference section. The reference numbers must be finalized and the bibliography must be fully formatted before submission.
See below few examples of references listed in the correct Vancouver style:
In case there is a need to present lengthy, but essential methodological details, use appendices, which can be a part of the article. An appendix must not exceed three pages (Times New Roman, 12 point fonts, 900 max. words per page). The information should be provided in a condensed form, ruling out the need of full sentences. A single appendix should be titled APPENDIX, while more than one can be titled APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B, and so on.
All authors must strictly follow the guidelines below for preparing illustrations for publication in Current Biotechnology. If the figures are found to be sub-standard, then the manuscripts will be rejected and the authors offered the option of figure improvement professionally by Eureka Science. The costs for such improvement will be charged to the authors.
Illustrations should be provided as separate files, embedded in the text file, and must be numbered consecutively in the order of their appearance. Each figure should include only a single illustration which should be cropped to minimize the amount of space occupied by the illustration.
If a figure is in separate parts, all parts of the figure must be provided in a single composite illustration file.
Photographs should be provided with a scale bar if appropriate, as well as high-resolution component files.
Scaling/Resolution:Line Art image type is normally an image based on lines and text. It does not contain tonal or shaded areas. The preferred file format should be TIFF or EPS, with the color mode being Monochrome 1-bit or RGB, in a resolution of 900-1200 dpi.
Halftone image type is a continuous tone photograph containing no text. It should have the preferred file format TIFF, with color mode being RGB or Grayscale, in a resolution of 300 dpi.
Combination image type is an image containing halftone , text or line art elements. It should have the preferred file format TIFF, with color mode being RGB or Grayscale, in a resolution of 500-900 dpi.
Formats:Illustrations may be submitted in the following file formats:
Bentham Science does not process figures submitted in GIF format.
For TIFF or EPS figures with considerably large file size restricting the file size in online submissions is advisable. Authors may therefore convert to JPEG format before submission as this results in significantly reduced file size and upload time, while retaining acceptable quality. JPEG is a 'lossy' format. However, in order to maintain acceptable image quality, it is recommended that JPEG files are saved at High or Maximum quality.
Zipit or Stuffit tools should not be used to compress files prior to submission as the resulting compression through these tools is always negligible.
Please refrain from supplying:
There are many software packages, many of them freeware or shareware, capable of converting to and from different graphics formats, including PNG.
General tools for image conversion include Graphic Converter on the Macintosh, Paint Shop Pro, for Windows, and ImageMagick, available on Macintosh, Windows and UNIX platforms.
Bitmap images (e.g. screenshots) should not be converted to EPS as they result in a much larger file size than the equivalent JPEG, TIFF, PNG or BMP, and poor quality. EPS should only be used for images produced by vector-drawing applications such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. Most vector-drawing applications can be saved in, or exported as, EPS format. If the images were originally prepared in an Office application, such as Word or PowerPoint, original Office files should be directly uploaded to the site, instead of being converted to JPEG or another format of low quality.
Color Figures/Illustrations:
Note for authors:To maintain publication quality, figures submitted in colour will be published in colour only.
Chemical structures MUST be prepared in ChemDraw (CDX file) and provided as separate file.

Bentham Science also offers authors the choice of "Open Access Plus" publication of articles at a fee of US$ 750 per article. This paid service allows for articles to be disseminated to a much wider audience, on the terms of the Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs) Licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/). Authors are asked to indicate whether or not they wish to pay to have their article made more widely available on this "Open Access Plus" basis. Where an author does not opt-in to this paid service, then the author's article will be published only on Bentham Science's standard subscription-based access, at no additional cost to the author.
Authors who select the "Quick Track" publication option (see below) and also wish to have their article made available on an "Open Access Plus" basis will be entitled to a 50% discount on the "Open Access Plus" publication fee. All editors, board members and those authors who have contributed more than two articles in Bentham Science publications are entitled to a 40% discount on "Open Access Plus" fees.
For more information please contact us at e-mail:firstname.lastname@example.com
All papers submitted for publication are immediately subjected to editorial scrutiny, usually in consultation with members of the journal Editorial Advisory Board and outside independent reviewers. Every effort will be made to peer review submitted papers quickly. Papers which are delayed by authors in revision for more than 30 days will have to be re-submitted as a new submission. Papers accepted for publication are typeset and proofs are dispatched to authors for any corrections prior to final publication.
For this journal an optional fast publication fee-based service called QUICK TRACK is available to authors for their submitted manuscripts.
QUICK TRACK allows online publication within 2 weeks of receipt of the final approved galley proofs from the authors. Similarly the manuscript can be published in the next forthcoming PRINT issue of the journal. The total publication time, from date of first receipt of manuscript to its online publication is 12 weeks, subject to its acceptance by the referees and modification (if any) by the authors within one week.
Authors who have availed QUICK TRACK services in a BSP journal will be entitled for an exclusive 30% discount if they again wish to avail the same services in any Bentham journal.
For more information please contact the Editorial Office by e-mail at email@example.com
Authors who publish in Bentham Science print & online journals will transfer copyright to their work to Bentham Science Publishers. Submission of a manuscript to the respective journals implies that all authors have read and agreed to the content of the Copyright Letter or the Terms and Conditions. It is a condition of publication that manuscripts submitted to this journal have not been published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere. Plagiarism is strictly forbidden, and by submitting the article for publication the authors agree that the publishers have the legal right to take appropriate action against the authors, if plagiarism or fabricated information is discovered. By submitting a manuscript the authors agree that the copyright of their article is transferred to the publishers if and when the article is accepted for publication. Once submitted to the journal, the author will not withdraw their manuscript at any stage prior to publication.
By signing the Copyright Letter the authors retain the rights of self-archiving. Following are the important features of self-archiving policy of Bentham Science journals:
Bentham Science Publishers uses the iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. iThenticate software checks content against a database of periodicals, the Internet, and a comprehensive article database. It generates a similarity report, highlighting the percentage overlap between the uploaded article and the published material. Any instance of content overlap is further scrutinized for suspected plagiarism according to the publisher's Editorial Policies. Bentham Science allows an overall similarity of 20% for a manuscript to be considered for publication. The similarity percentage is further checked keeping the following important points in view:
The text of every submitted manuscript is checked using the Content Tracking mode in iThenticate. The Content Tracking mode ensures that manuscripts with an overall low percentage similarity (but which may have a higher similarity from a single source) are not overlooked. The acceptable limit for similarity of text from a single source is 5%. If the similarity level is above 5%, the manuscript is returned to the author for paraphrasing the text and citing the original source of the copied material.
It is important to mention that the text taken from different sources with an overall low similarity percentage will be considered as a plagiarized content if the majority of the article is a combination of copied material.
There may be some manuscripts with an overall low similarity percentage, but a higher percentage from a single source. A manuscript may have less than 20% overall similarity but there may be 15 % similar text taken from a single article. The similarity index in such cases is higher than the approved limit for a single source. Authors are advised to thoroughly rephrase the similar text and properly cite the original source to avoid plagiarism and copyright violation.
We all know that scholarly manuscripts are written after thorough review of previously published articles. It is therefore not easy to draw a clear boundary between legitimate representation and plagiarism. However, the following important features can assist in identifying different kinds of plagiarized content. These are:
Published manuscripts which are found to contain plagiarized text are retracted from the journal website after careful investigation and approval by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal. A 'Retraction Note' as well as a link to the original article is published on the electronic version of the plagiarized manuscript and an addendum with retraction notification in the journal concerned.
Articles appearing in E-Pub Ahead-of-Schedule sections have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in this journal and posted online before scheduled publication. Articles appearing here may contain statements, opinions, and information that have errors in facts, figures, or interpretation. Accordingly, Bentham Science Publishers, the editors and authors and their respective employees are not responsible or liable for the use of any such inaccurate or misleading data, opinion or information contained of articles in the E-Pub Ahead-of- Schedule.

Limited-Time Offer: Up to 75% Off Coursera Plus!
7000+ certificate courses from Google, Microsoft, IBM, and many more.
In this course you will explore concepts and approaches involved in creating successful character designs that can be applied to video games. Following a first week delving into some foundational concepts for successful character design, each of the remaining three weeks are structured as a master class where you will observe three professional character designers at work in the studio: Andy Ristaino (Adventure Time), Jacky Ke Jiang (Journey), and Robertryan Cory (SpongeBob SquarePants). Each designer will take on two different design challenges on the fly and address the various issues in designing characters for games, such as movement, expression, and technical limitations. At the end of each week you will have an opportunity to try out some of the concepts from that week's lesson on characters of your own design.
This is a fun and engaging class especially useful for students interested in animation in film and TV as well as games, and is suitable for students of any drawing ability.

Did you see Jimi Hendrix in concert? Did you meet Jimi Hendrix or have the opportunity to interview him or have some other unique, first-person encounter with Jimi Hendrix? If so, Experience Hendrix wants to hear from you.
Jimi Hendrix
Did you see Jimi Hendrix in concert? Did you meet Jimi Hendrix or have the opportunity to interview him or have some other unique, first-person encounter with Jimi Hendrix? If so, Experience Hendrix wants to hear from you.
Jimi holds his first recording session in the new Electric Lady Studios at 52 West 8th Street in the heart of Greenwich Village. Hendrix invites his friends Steve Winwood and Chris Wood from Traffic into the studio where they quickly break into an impromptu jam session. With Mitch Mitchell unavailable Eddie Kramer volunteered Dave Palmer to sit in behind the drums for the session. As the night progressed, Jimi was able to coax Wood and Winwood into providing some backing vocals on "Ezy Rider" which Jimi was carrying over from his stints at the Record Plant. Also put to tape on this night were renditions of Traffic's own "Pearl Queen" and Winwood's own "Rhythm Ace." Work soon progressed to Jimi's composition, "Valleys Of Neptune" before segueing into a loose untitled jazz-focused jam and later a track titled "Slow Blues." Jenny Dean, a mutual friend of Jimi and Winwood, offered backing vocals on the later recording.
Chris Wood Electric Lady Studios first recording session Greenwich Village Recording Steve Winwood
Back at Electric Lady Jimi records the master takes of "Night Bird Flying" and "Straight Ahead." Joined by percussionist Juma Sultan these sessions proved to be among his most productive in the post-Electric Ladyland days. He follows these recordings with takes of "Beginnings," "Freedom," and a loose recording simply titled "Messing Around."
Beginnings Electric Lady Freedom Juma Sultan Night Bird Flying Recording Straight Ahead
Returning once again to Electric Lady, Hendrix enthusiastically kicked off the session right where the prior night's left off. In visiting "Straight Ahead" Hendrix, Billy Cox, and Mitch Mitchell concentrated on forming a new master take of the song. The trio then moves to recordings for "Astro Man." Feeling playful, Jimi brings the session to a quick halt before yelling for tape machine to start recording. Assured that the tapes are rolling Jimi breaks into a high octave vocal take of "Drifter's Escape."

Returning to Electric Lady Studios after a series of West Coast tour dates, Hendrix jumped right back into a series of strong recordings kicked off by a playful series of takes of "Astro Man." As the night progressed Hendrix guided the group through recordings of "Rollin' Stone," "In From The Storm," and a rendition of Cream's "Politician." Hendrix then tore into a 26-minute untitled jam before breaking into "Beginnings," "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)," "Straight Ahead," "Midnight Lightning," and finally "Freedom."
Astro Man Beginnings Electric Lady Studios Midnight Lightning Politician Recording
Building on the momentum of the previous night's session the group, now joined by Juma Sultan, revisit "Astro Man" before debuting the new ballad, "Drifting." The session also included work on "Freedom" and "Cherokee Mist."
Astro Man Cherokee Mist Drifting Freedom Juma Sultan Recording
Hendrix returned to Electric Lady where he revisited a number of previously recorded compositions for overdubbing. Work on this night included visits to "Message To Love," "Earth Blues," "Steeping Stone," Valleys Of Neptune," and a rough demo of "Heaven Has No Sorrow."

Spaghetti Frittata
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Our nest had been empty for about two weeks when I learned the wisdom of cooking no more than could be eaten in one sitting. That included some of our favorite pasta dishes. I hate waste and am not fond of reheated noodles, so you can imagine the bemusement on the face of the Silver Fox when I started to make a frittata with deliberately left-over spaghetti. A recipe, found in Eating Well Magazine, convinced me to try a spaghetti frittata, but I wanted to adapt and expand it to include ingredients that are also used in spaghetti carbonara. The recipe was touted as a money saver because it minimized waste by using food that might otherwise be thrown away. Apparently, a family of four trashes nearly $600 of food every year. Before I go any further, let me say this is a nice recipe and it produces an unusual dish that might please those with bored palates. There's not a thing wrong with it. If you have half a pound of cooked spaghetti lying around, it's a good way to use it up. I was drawn to the recipe out of curiosity and my curiosity is now satisfied. I probably will not make this again, but if I did, I'd make some changes. I'd use capellini rather than spaghetti and I'd pour the egg mixture over still warm pasta. The theory being the custard would better coat the pasta when it is warm. As with all stovetop frittatas, there is that awful moment of truth when it must be turned. Prayer and/or swearing help. A better solution would be to bake rather than fry it. Here's the recipe.
Spaghetti Frittata...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Eating Well Magazine
8 ounces spaghetti, (or 4 cups cooked spaghetti)
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 strips uncooked bacon, diced
1-1/2 cups chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup skim milk
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tomato, diced (optional)
1) Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but firm. Drain and refresh with cold water.
2) Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and let cool slightly. Wipe out pan.
3) Whisk together eggs, egg whites and milk in a large bowl. Stir in the onions, Parmesan, parsley, basil, salt and pepper. Add spaghetti.
4) Spray pan really well with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and distribute evenly in pan. Cook until underside is golden, moving pan around on burner to ensure even cooking, about 6 minutes. Invert a large platter over skillet, grasp platter and skillet with oven mitts and carefully turn over. Lift off skillet and spray it again with nonstick cooking spray. Slide frittata back into the skillet and cook until bottom is golden. Slide frittata onto a platter. Garnish with tomatoes, if using. Yield: 6 servings.

What a coincident that I have cooked spagetti too! My version is called spagetti Oglio Olio. I am sure this frittata would go down well with my boys.

Thanks for your suggestions about this recipe. I've been tempted to try frittatas featuring noodles/pasta...I guess I'm curious too! It certainly looks yummy, I think the texture would be great.

What an interesting recipe. This looks like something I'd experiment with, but I agree. I would bake it-much easier.

I always swear when flipping my frittatas. It's like some kind of incantation. That and omelets...although my omelets always end up as scrambled eggs. So the swearing doesn't really help much.
I really like spaghetti frittatas, but they are definitely an acquired taste to some extent! I'm glad you tried it once! - September 12, 2010 at 6:41 AM

I also love not wasting food. Yesterday I made Giada De Laurentis lassagna and I had bechamel, tomato sauce, riccota left over. Cooked the pasta covered it and sprinkled with cheese. Now I have two pasta dishes sitting in the fridge. Great job!

My Italian friends make spaghetti so they will have leftovers. There is a fried spaghetti dish that uses just that, sauce and all. Love your experimental nature Mary.

- Pondside said...
Good morning Mary. I'll be copying this recipe to my file because I have never figured out how to make just enough pasta to go with my sauce and I always end up giving the leftovers to the chickens. I made a frittata for the first time for the first time last month and we loved it, so I'll look forward to trying this one, with your recommendations. Perhaps I'll plunge the leftover pasta into boiling water and then drain it before adding the egg mixture.

Your blog is so fun,Mary. I love it that you say that you won't make a recipe again. Also, your commentary is so delightful. Today, "prayer or swearing help." Hey, there is a great life lesson :).

Your frittata looks great.
I made one once but had a difficult time keeping it together and perfecting the flip. I'll have to give it another go.

That $600 a year average for wasted food is astounding! I try hard not to be wasteful but, just this morning, had to toss some cherry tomatoes (they were from a neighbor's garden but still a waste) that we just couldn't eat fast enough. I've made pasta frittata's in various forms for years--especially when the boys were at home. Some were quite tasty. Other's weren't.

Wow--I've never heard of a fritatta that used spaghetti. I am not a fan of leftover noodles either, but this recipe would be an exception I'm sure--looks good!

I think it looks fabulous and honestly, how can you go wrong with bacon and eggs. Loved the "prayer and/or swearing" - there's often a lot of both going on in our kitchen. Ha.

- StephenC said...
This is so "our house" in the sense that we make these types of frittatas all the time, including for lunch in a couple of hours. We often use ramen noodles which we always have in the pantry. We save the flavor packet for other uses. Also, we like to set up the bottom of the frittata on the stove, then finish in the oven. That means no flipping. Cooking for two, it's difficult not to have leftovers. I'm better at using them than I used to be. Thanks for your beautiful dish.

Mary, frittatas made of leftover pasta are a staple here- yes, I use warm pasta and I do finish it in the oven. Some dollops of cheese (ricotta, mozzarella, or goat) work well too

When, I was a child, my mom made, what she called noodles and egg, a much simpler dish. Cooked noodles in a fry pan, covered with eggs and seasoning. Nothing special but I was a child an my mom made it so it was delicious.
Rarely, do I make it, only when I am looking for comfort food. So, I would probably like your frittata. - September 12, 2010 at 7:35 PM
- Claudia said...
I hate wasting and we definintely do. Love finding ways to use leftovers. With both kids back home and in school - leftovers are becoming lunch (she says happily). The idea of a spaghetti frittata works for me. Especially if I can have yours.

OMG! I grew up in a traditional Italian family that did not waste and we had this regularly. However I really didn't think anyone else outside my family made it! It wasn't my favourite (prefered freshly cooked pasta) but it is a good way to use up leftovers...and nutricious

Oak Concrete Staining Patterns has always provided the look of class and sophistication that only oak flooring can offer, at an affordable price. That warm floor feeling even with bare feet, that smell just after the floor has been cleaned and polished, and the way that oak looks so fabulous, are all perfectly good reasons to choose oak flooring.
I aim to banish the preconceptions that oak flooring is only suitable for classic dark Victorian homes, or country farmhouses. We believe that all styles of home, from minimalist modern flats to suburban semis can look fantastic with an oak floor.
With many types of oak flooring, including Natural Oak flooring, White Oak Flooring and Natural Dark Oak Flooring there is certain to be the perfect solid oak for your home. Why not use the a Room Planner to see how your home will look with oak flooring?
Once you have decided on the style, why not let a Professional Floor Fitter fit your new oak floor for you? If you get someone with experience it will ensure that your oak floor is fitted properly to provide luxury underfoot for many years to come. Once fitted, your oak flooring will become the envy of all your friends, and will become the focal point of any room.
Despite the advances in engineered wood and laminate flooring, for some people, only solid oak flooring will do. Until now, there has often been a compromise between quality and price. Genuine solid oak flooring used to be a luxury not everyone could afford. There are some fantastic ranges of top quality oak flooring across a range of price points, and is making oak flooring much more affordable than ever before.
Modern flooring, such as vinyl and laminate flooring are designed to look like solid woods, including oak flooring. Whilst realistic laminate flooring is not solid oak. Oak flooring offers warmth and timeless natural beauty and is the real thing. Natural wood looks realistic, because it is realistic, and so will fit in with the furniture of any room, without looking out of place. Another feature with oak flooring is that it can make a room look bigger, without making it look empty.
Oak Flooring offers fantastic wear resistance and durability, so can last for many years if looked after properly. Oak Flooring, however, can be susceptible to dents and scratches over time, and perhaps isn't the best type of flooring for high traffic areas such as the hallway without a rug. A good way to protect oak flooring is by using felt pads on furniture such as sofas and beds.
Oak Flooring also doesn't like to be exposed to moisture, and so would not be suitable for bathrooms or kitchens where there is a lot of steam and water around.
Oak flooring looks much better in rooms with lower traffic volumes, and so is perfect for a bedroom or for a dramatic living room, or dining room. Oak flooring will naturally add elegance to any room.
Oak flooring can add value to your home, and is a well known thermal insulator. This means that heating your home will cost less. Also, as oak flooring is so durable, it is also cost effective, as unlike carpet, it won't need to be replaced as often.
Taking care of oak flooring is simple and straightforward. Vacuuming or brushing is usually enough to ensure that the floor is clean. A suitable wood polish can ensure the oak flooring stays looking great. Spillages on an oak floor can be dealt with much more quickly and efficiently than on a carpet, and there is much less risk of staining. Think how easy it is to wipe up a spill on a work surface, compared to a spill on a carpet.

Crystals for Dealing with Loss of Love
Crystals For Dealing with Loss of Love
Lord Alfred Tennyson was famously quoted from his 1849 piece, In Memoriam A.H.H., "'Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Generally, most people seem to believe in this adage and use it quite often. However, in the midst of a breakup, the loss of that love can seem overpowering. There is a movie starring Jim Carey and Kate Winslet called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In this movie the couple (Carey and Winslet) have a bad breakup and go through the mental process of having memories of each other erased. Only to find out that even though the loss of love hurt, they didn't want to let all of those wonderful memories go. When you experience loss of love in your life it can be devastating. You may even wonder if you'll ever feel better again at all. We've also heard the old saying, {"time heals all wounds." While we do believe in this saying, we also think you can use a little extra to help ease the pain and assist you in moving on. Your little helper can be found right under your feet in healing crystals buried within the earth.
Red is the color of love and passion. While this may seem to be the opposite of what you are looking for, healing loves wounds takes a bit of the hair of the dog that bit you. Red is the color of passion, energy, and life. It motivates. It is a very strong color, tthe color of fire and blood. Red crystals are used when the situation needs passion: active, involved, energetic action. Red empowers, uplifts, and engulfs. If you are suffering from a lack of power, listlessness, or a low emotional state, you need more red. Like the scarlet ray, the red ray brings us a self-confidence built on fearlessness. When the need is for action without hesitation or self-doubt, use a crystal with a fiery ray of bright red.
Use Red Crystals
Red Crystals Bring You Energy, Courage, Passion, and Love
While the empowerment and fiery color of red is good for love and passion, when dealing with the loss of love, we need a subdued, softer side of red, which is of course, pink. Pink is a soothing color, useful to calm feelings of anger or resentment. It is also a comforting color that can aid efforts to meditate. While red brings passion and energy, pink brings soft and gentle love. When we are hurting most from losing love, we need love the most then to restore our heart and put the pieces back together. Pink colored crystals can not only help you deal with loss of love, they can also cure heartache, help you show love, and even find new love. It repairs your broken heart so you are able to accept love into your life once again.
When dealing with loss of love, heartache, or any issues of love at all, you will almost always see Rose Quartz mentioned. Called the Heart Stone, Rose Quartz may have been used as a love token as early as 600 B.C. and is still an important talisman of relationships. It is such a powerful and healing crystal that we would recommend always carrying or wearing one. It is useful for a variety of emotional ailments and overall brings a very soothing energy. Rose Quartz is a calming and reassuring crystal, excellent for use in trauma or crisis. The soft pink emanations of Rose Quartz comforts and heals any wounds the heart has suffered, penetrating the inner chambers of the Heart Chakra where emotional experiences are recorded and stored. It dissolves the sorrows, worries, fears and resentments suppressing the heart's ability to give and receive love, and replaces it with healing, comfort and inner nourishment. A deep sense of personal fulfillment and energy forms a new foundation where inner peace and contentment can become a personal reality.
Another crystal that can help clear your heart, mind, and spirit is Pink Tourmaline. A primary stone of the Heart Chakra, Pink Tourmaline links to the Crown Chakra infusing love and spirituality, encouraging compassion and gentleness during periods of growth and changes as humanity works toward enlightenment. It is an extraordinary crystal for cleansing the emotional body of destructive feelings and old wounds accumulated over time. It releases guilt, worry, depression and anxieties, and guides those emotions into self-love. It helps the emotionally "numb†to recover passion and a zest for life, and helps the timid find the courage to love by changing old patterns of thinking and inspiring new trust in opening the heart. Pink Tourmaline stimulates happiness and joy, peace and relaxation.
Rose Quartz
Pink Rose Quartz is the most important crystal of the heart and the Heart Chakra, teaching the true essence of love, and purifying and opening the heart at all levels. It also balances the yin-yang energy and can bring all the other chakras into harmony and unity with the Heart.
What Authors Say About Crystals
Judy Hall suggests Dioptase which is primarily used as a talisman to aid efforts to grow physically stronger and to aid in efforts to secure a sound financial future.
Dioptase can act as a bridge to emotional healing, especially for the child within. Its green ray reaches deep within the heart to absorb festering wounds and forgotten hurts. It dissolves grief, betrayal, and sorrow and is extremely effective for healing heartache and the pain of abandonment.
Michael Gienger recommends Amethyst which is a well known healer that has profound effects in balancing the crown chakra.
Amethyst will help with sadness and grief and lend support in coming to terms with loss.
Robert Simmons advocates Lepidolite which is a stone for dispelling negativity and restoring calm in a hostile environment.
Lepidolite is a stone of spiritual purification, and meditation with it can clear blocked energies in any of the chakras and throughout the meridian system. It can dispel negative thoughts and removes negative emotional attachments such as resentment and envy.
It is fair to say that at some point in our lives we have all dealt with a loss of love. It can be an emotionally devastating experience, one that may be hard to recover from. We may feel depressed, hurt, angry, betrayed, and sad. However, there is hope for the aching heart. The soothing pink color rays can lull your broken heart and open it once again to receive love. When dealing with loss of love we recommend pink colored crystals such as Rose Quartz and Pink Tourmaline. You can also try crystals that other authors have suggested such as Dioptase, Amethyst, and Lepidolite.

Acquiring a macos system with target disk mode
Make sure to disable the disk arbitration daemon on the machine where you will do the acquisition. Alternatively use a FireWire write blocker
Prepare a clean firewire drive format is as HFS+ using Mac Disk Utility; name the volume "Target". This process relies on being able to identify which drive is the suspect's drive by knowing its size. Many new Macs are shipping with 250GB drives. Having a unique firewire target drive size will help you identify it later, as you will see below.
Note the sizes of all drives on your forensic Mac, if you don't already know. To find out go to:
Apple menu > About This Mac > More info > ATA
Connecting the suspect drive
1. Without turning anything on, connect the forensic Mac to the suspect's computer using a firewire cable.
2. Hold down the "Option" key on the suspect's computer and turn it on.
3. If the suspect's computer does not ask for a password, then turn it off. If the computer does ask for a password, then turn it off. You cannot do a simple TDM acquisition if a password is required. You will have to either:
a. remove the drive and do a direct acquisition
b. modify the memory by adding or removing chips and zapping the PRAM.
To zap the PRAM, start up the computer and as soon as you hear the startup 'bong', hold down these four keys:
It will bong again, and again. Continue to hold down these four keys until it has 'bonged' a total of three times
(the initial startup bong and two more after you hold down those four keys).
4. Assuming that no password was needed, hold down the "T" key and turn the suspect's computer back on. The computer will eventually display the firewire logo on the screen and is then ready for TDM.
Acquiring the suspect drive
1. Turn on the acquiring Mac (with the disk arbitration daemon disabled) 2. Start the Terminal. And at the command prompt run:
cd /dev
ls disk?
This will list all drives that are seen by the system. A list containing at least three drives will appear:
- disk0
- disk1
- disk2
One of these drives is the suspect's. The other two are either the forensic Mac's OS or the Target drive. You won't necessarily know which is which, so you need to query them to see their size, which will give you a hint.
3. Tho probe a drive, e.g. /dev/disk1 you can use pdisk:
sudo pdisk /dev/disk1
The output of pdisk will look something like:
/dev/disk0 map block size=512
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 56 @ 64
3: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 56 @ 120
4: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 56 @ 176
5: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 56 @ 232
6: Apple_FWDriver Macintosh 512 @ 288
7: Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 @ 800
8: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 1312
9: Apple_HFS OS X 72600384 @ 1824 ( 34.6G)
10: Apple_HFS OS 8.6 5537944 @ 72602208 ( 2.6G)
11: Apple_Free 0+@ 78140152
5. Partitions on an HFS are called "slices." You can see in bold that this drive has a 34.6G slice listed under the number 9 and a 2.6G under line 10. Add them up and your looking at a "40G" drive. If the result is the wrong size, then you are looking at the wrong drive. Repeat step 4 using disk0 and disk2 to identify all the disks.
6. Lets assume that your Target volume is disk2 and is a 120GB. If it is formatted as HFS, then the query in step 4 should return something like this.
/dev/disk2 map block size=512
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Free 0+@ 64
3: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 239859504 @ 262208 (114.4G)
4: Apple_Free 0+@ 240121712
Notice that slice 3 is 114.4 GB in size. Slice 3 is the "working area" on this 120G drive and is the slice that you will make available for receiving your evidence, using the mount command shown in green in line 8 below.
7. Once you confirm which drive is which, you are ready to go. Lets assume that your forensic drive is disk0, the suspect's drive is disk1, and the Target drive is disk2.
8. Because we turned off disk arbitration, however, the target drive isn't available to receive the image. We therefore need to mount the Target drive; specifically slice 3 of disk2.
Type sudo mount –t hfs /dev/disk2s3 /Volumes/Target. |
At this point, you have the choice of imaging the suspect's entire drive (recommended), or of just imaging the slice that you want. If you want to image the entire drive, type: |
sudo dd if=/dev/disk1 bs=1024 conv=notrunc,noerror,sync of=/Volumes/Target/Evidence.dmg. |
This will write a raw DD image to the root of Target and will name the image Evidence.dmg. If you only want to image particular slices, then add the slice to the command, i.e. |
sudo dd if=/dev/disk1s9 bs=1024 conv=notrunc,noerror,sync of=/Volumes/Target/Evidence.dmg. |
A separate acquisition can be done for each slice that you want to examine by changing the slice number and giving each new image a different file name, i.e. EvidOS8.dmg. The advantage of imaging the whole disk is that you can later bring it into Encase as a single evidence file. |
9. Your done. Unmount the Target drive by typing ` ` ` ` cd /Volumes sudo umount /Target |
Shut down your forensic Mac and then shut down the suspect's Mac. Disconnect the firewire connection to the suspect's Mac. Examination |
1. Reboot your forensic Mac and restore the diskarbitrationd.plist file back to the /etc/mach-init.d directory. Type cd / sudo cp diskarbitrationd.plist /etc/mach_init.d. |
Turn the forensic Mac off and back on to initiate diskarbitration. Power up the Target drive. The Target drive should mount and appear on your desktop. Open it. |
2. The Evidence.dmg file should appear. Click on it once. Lock the file via the "GET INFO" menu to ensure it is write protected. |
You can now double-click to mount the Evidence.dmg file and explore it within the native Mac OS environment. If the image won't mount, go into the Terminal and type the following: |
sudo hdiutil attach /Volumes/Target/Evidence.dmg -shadow |
If you want to move the evidence file over into Encase, change the .dmg extension to .001 and add it as a raw image.

Passed in 2010 and headed toward full implementation by 2014, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), aka Obamacare, has several provisions that have received little attention but will have significant impact on the health care industry, as well as employers, their workers and seniors. One major provision that doesn't get a lot of press is Section 3022, which encourages the creation of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). The idea is the creation of a shared savings program for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries, which will move responsibility for cost containment and quality outcomes closer to the provider. ACOs will risk-share with traditional insurance companies or completely shoulder the risk for delivery of care. In turn, these ACOs will split with Medicare any savings they can produce in the delivery of care. While ACOs have yet to be fully defined, it is likely that these ACOs will be run by a joint venture involving traditional hospitals and health systems, as well as physician groups and ancillary providers. In order to respond to the federal ACO movement, health systems such as Cleveland Clinic, University Health and Summa Health will increase acquisition activity of the remaining Northeast Ohio independent hospitals, physician practices and alternate site providers. This will allow them to control more of the delivery system in the region, which in turn will allow them to control the cost of care for individual patients while maintaining or improving quality of care. In that way, these large health systems will be able to participate in the shared savings program with Medicare. Conversely, independent hospitals such as Parma Community and small systems — among them, EMH Regional Health and Lake Hospital System — will have to seek shelter from a larger system in order to remain competitive. This is because they are at a distinct disadvantage relative to the bigger systems in many ways: (a) Medicare is likely to steer beneficiaries to the most efficient ACOs; (b) efficiency is possible only through the scale and sophistication that a Cleveland Clinic and its peers have; and (c) understanding this trend, lenders and investors increasingly are constraining capital access for smaller hospitals in favor of the larger systems. We think longer term, the large health systems such as Cleveland Clinic, which today operates primarily within this region, will be compelled to expand beyond their current geography. This could happen through a merger with another system on the other side of the state, or a combination with a system in Pennsylvania, Michigan or Kentucky. Supporting our prediction, Dr. Toby Cosgrove, Cleveland Clinic's CEO, has stated he believes the hospital market will consolidate into 50 large multistate systems over the next decade or two. Dr. Cosgrove also predicts a continuation of the trend away from the independent physician practice toward fully employed physicians. This trend already is underway, as more than 60% of all physicians nationally are employed. The impact of PPACA will be far-reaching for all constituents. With the rise of ACOs, the health care landscape in Northeast Ohio will consolidate even further than it has. Provider organizations of tomorrow will look very different than they are today, with a much larger fully employed physician base, a fully integrated delivery system united under fewer corporate banners, and patient engagement by these systems that doesn't exist today.

It reminds me a lot of this hippie goddess girl I saw in the hall the other day wearing a long black velvet dress and clogs and a woven backpack and I really wanted to know what she was doing in school because it was obvious that she should've been traveling in a painted van or something, but at least this way I'll probably see her again and will have the opportunity to ask if she'll carry me around in her backpack and let me smell her hair, whose scent I imagine is probably a cross between jasmine and hibiscus with a dash of mint. I think the odds of her letting me be in her painted van club are even more in my favor if I tell her that last part!

Today, the topic in question was henchmen and hirelings and their use in old school D&D. In the past, I've said that I think OD&D (and, to a lesser extent, AD&D) assumes that PCs will employ hirelings and acquire henchmen to accompany them on their adventures. That's why Charisma isn't a "dump stat" in OD&D: you want a good score in order to be able to secure (and retain) the services of hirelings. (Of course, it's worth noting that, unless a character's score is very high, he's only going to be able to employ 4 or 5 hirelings at most) In my Dwimmermount game, hirelings and henchmen have been important from the start, with several of these NPCs, such as Gaztea. Angrboda, and Hap, having become every bit as important as the PCs who employ them. When I was a kid, it was pretty common for our adventuring parties to include porters and torch bearers and men-at-arms, in addition to the occasional "specialist" of one sort or another. That's what we saw the older guys doing and we followed suit. Plus, it sure did help to have those extra guys along!
Because of these three emails, I went back to look at various older editions of D&D to see what they said about hirelings and henchmen. Maybe later I'll post some thoughts based on what I saw in the LBBs and AD&D, but, for the moment, I'm going to stick to the Moldvay Basic and Cook/Marsh Expert rulebooks, because I was actually quite surprised by what I found there. For example, Moldvay begins his discussion of "Party Size and Composition" by saying,
It is not wise to adventure alone, for the monsters which may be encountered are numerous. It is much safe to go adventuring with a group of people who can help and protect each other. The best size of an adventure party is 6-8 characters, enough to handle the challenges which will be faced, but not too many to become disorganized or to ruin chances to surprise the monsters.Later on, in a follow-up paragraph, Moldvay states that "The DM may allow a player character to hire companions to add to the size of a party." May. That's an important word, as we'll see in a bit.
A few pages on, Moldvay devotes nearly an entire page to explaining the rules surrounding retainers (as he calls hirelings), including how they may be hired and their loyalty to their employer. One noteworthy element of this section is that the hiring of retainers is presented as at least in part a roleplaying challenge, with the PCs expected to conduct interviews of prospective employees. Likewise, Moldvay stresses that, even if the PCs are generous in their terms, there may simply not be enough NPCs interested in signing on with the PCs, meaning that the hiring of retainers is not simply a function of a character's having a requisite Charisma score and cash to spare. He also notes that
Retainers are often used to strengthen a party which is attempting extremely dangerous adventures. It is recommended that the DM not allow beginning characters to hire retainers. New players tend to use retainers as a crutch, letting them take all the risks. If a dungeon is very difficult, the DM should let the players have more than one character apiece before using retainers, at least until players are more experienced. Hirelings are experts which can be hired by the characters. They are more suited to higher level campaigns and are explained in the D&D EXPERT SET.There's lots to to chew on in that paragraph, such as the distinction between a "retainer" and a "hireling" (the latter term being one that the Expert Rules do not employ, opting for "specialist" instead), but what I found most intriguing was the admonition against allowing beginning characters to hire retainers, for fear they'd become "a crutch." That's quite the reversal from the received wisdom in the old school world these days, where it's generally claimed that beginning characters have the greatest cause to employ retainers and that their employment shows that the players are being thoughtful and cautious.
Turning to the Expert rulebook, there are a handful of interesting points to consider. First, in a section entitled "Organizing the Party," there's a sample party presented, consisting of four PCs and two retainers -- quite a small number! Later, in discussing "Specialists and Mercenaries," the rulebook states that
During the game, characters may need to hire NPCs with training or special skills in a certain area. These people are known as specialists. Specialists are not retainers and they will not go on adventures.Examples of specialists are alchemists, armorers, and engineers. In discussing mercenaries, it's not that
Like specialists, they will usually not go on dungeon adventures and will only participate in wilderness adventures such as fighting other armies, clearing land of monsters around the castle, and defending the castle.And that's the extent of information on retainers in Moldvay/Cook/Marsh that I could find easily. What's interesting to me is how much this information differs both from my recollection of it and the assumptions of a lot of old school fans these days. When I was a kid, I distinctly recall using the rules for specialists and mercenaries in the Expert book to round out the party when going on dungeon expeditions. Likewise, my reading of both the LBBs and AD&D is that there's an assumption (often implicit) that most PCs will have one or more hirelings in their employ who will accompany them wherever they go, provided they are paid, outfitted, and treated well.
Clearly, though, that's not what Moldvay/Cook/Marsh actually say and I have to wonder what had happened by 1981 that it was deemed necessary to out and out state that many hirelings do not venture into dungeons and that low-level PCs ought not to have hirelings, lest they become a crutch. It's not something I'd ever really given much thought to, but I must admit that, knowing what I know now, we might well have stumbled on an explanation for why so many gamers have an aversion to the very idea of retainers: they picked up their attitude from the B/X rulebooks.
(As an aside, it's worth noting that the Rules Cyclopedia is a little softer in its stance on retainers. While sharing the insistence that mercenaries "do not normally go on dungeon adventures," it does allow that other non-specialist retainers might be allowed in games "with only a few players or with weak and inexperienced characters," if the referee wishes to allow them)

He was left instead with an enduring image he has carried with him through 70 years: That of his sister vanishing into a sea of people doomed to die.
Only this time the elderly, balding man wasn't really there as he recounted the horror of the Holocaust to an audience gathered in an auditorium at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.
It was the 80-year-old survivor's digital doppelganger, dressed in a white shirt, dark pants and matching vest, that was doing the talking as it gazed intently at its audience, sometimes tapping its feet as it paused to consider a question.
Over the years, elderly Holocaust survivors like Gutter have been leaving behind manuscripts and oral histories of their lives, fearful that once they are gone there will be no one to explain the horror they lived through or to challenge the accounts of Holocaust deniers like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
For the past 18 months, a group led by USC's Shoah Foundation has been trying to change that by creating three-dimensional holograms of nearly a dozen people who survived Nazi Germany's systematic extermination of six million Jews during World War II.
Like the digital librarian portrayed by Orlando Jones in the 2002 movie "The Time Machine," the plan is for Gutter and the others to live on in perpetuity, telling generations not born yet the horror they witnessed and offering their thoughts on how to avoid having one of history's darkest moments repeated.
Although people at this week's event saw Gutter as only a two-dimensional figure, he has been painstakingly filmed for hours in 3-D and, perhaps as early as next year according to those involved in the project, his hologram could be talking face-to-face with visitors at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.
Certainly it will be within five years, said Stephen Smith, the Shoah Foundation's executive director, and Paul Debevec, associate director of the university's Institute for Creative Technologies, which is creating the hologram project's infrastructure.
"Having actually put it together, it's clear this will happen," said Debevec, whose institute has partnered with Hollywood on such films as "Avatar" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," winning a special Academy Award for the latter.
Indeed, it already has almost happened.
More than 15 years after his death, rapper Tupac Shakur made a 3-D hologram-like appearance at last year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, performing alongside a real Snoop Dogg. Technically, Shakur wasn't a hologram, however, because his image was projected onto a thin screen that was all but invisible to the audience.
"This takes it one step further as far as you won't be projecting onto a screen, you'll be projecting into space," Smith said of the project, called New Dimensions in Testimony.
It comes just in time, said Rabbi Marvin Hier, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which is dedicated to keeping alive the history of the Holocaust.
"This generation is coming to an end, unfortunately," Hier said of Holocaust survivors, whose average age is estimated at 79. "Within the next decade or so there won't be many survivors alive anywhere in the world."
Improving humanity
Given the prominence of Holocaust deniers like Iran's Ahmadinejad, Hier said, it's crucial to record survivors' accounts in a way that future generations can easily access and relate to.
"The Holocaust is well documented, and we have confessions of the major war criminals," he said. "But there's nothing like the human witness who can look you in the eye and say, `Look, this is what happened to my husband. This is what happened to my children. This is what happened to my grandparents.'"
Developing a technology capable of that has been painstakingly time consuming. But in the past two years, researchers say, it has come together faster than they once imagined.
To help in the effort, Gutter had to sit under an array of hot stage lights and in front of a green screen for hours at a time over the course of five days, answering some 500 questions about himself and his experiences.
Research scientists at USC are still editing them and working with voice-recognition software so that his hologram will not only be able to tell his story but recognize questions and answer them succinctly. Being able to do that often required asking as many as 50 follow-up questions to one of the original ones, Smith said.
While researchers have found there is generally a range of about 100 questions people ask survivors of the Holocaust, if someone in the future comes up with one Gutter's hologram can't answer, it will simply say so and refer them to someone who might know.
For the demonstration shown this week, he sat before seven cameras. For the final hologram, more than 20 will be placed at every angle possible, so he will appear to people standing or sitting anywhere in the audience just as he would if he was really there.
No pepper screen will be used to display his hologram, as was the case with Shakur. Instead, it will be broadcast into open space, allowing people to approach and interact with the hologram just as they would a real person.
Eventually, according to Debevec and other researchers, holograms could come to have numerous uses. Among them would be teaching classes, taking part in business conferences and providing expert opinion on subjects when real people can't be there to do so. They could even be used as teaching tools for people studying to become therapists who aren't quite ready to work with a real, emotionally troubled person.
For now, however, researchers are working strictly with Holocaust survivors, creating a list of nine other people with the help of the private group Conscience Display, which records survivors' stories and suggested the project.
Given that every person interviewed has been 80 or older, Smith said, it may prove difficult to find subjects with the stamina to participate. Still, no one approached so far has said no to the idea.
Perhaps Gutter's digital presence summed up the reason for that best when it was asked the other day why he chose to take part.
It replied: "I tell my story for the purpose of improving humanity."
