National Science Foundation
"Science and Technology in the 21st Century: How Can America Continue to Compete?"
National Medal of Science Symposium
Northwestern University
Evanston, IL
May 14, 2008
Good afternoon! It's quite an honor to follow such an impressive day of super-star presentations. It gives emphasis to the phrase "anti-climatic." Also, as the clean-up batter, my role is to get us back on schedule.
FDR had three rules for public speaking: Be brief. Be sincere. Be seated. I will do my best to follow his advice.
I am not going to go into any detail about NSF-funded research -- though I assure you, it's not for a lack of exciting material! You have already been treated to some.
Instead, I want to first say a few words about our distinguished Medal of Science awardees, since we are here chiefly to honor them. I then plan to tell you a bit about the state of science and engineering in America, as I see it.
As Mark mentioned this morning, but it's worth repeating, the National Medal of Science is the most prestigious honor that our Nation awards to scientists and engineers.
The National Medal of Science is presented by the President, in recognition of an individual's total impact on science or engineering.
As we now know, Professor Jan Achenbach was chosen for his seminal contributions to engineering research and education in wave propagation and nondestructive evaluation. As we heard earlier, Professor Achenbach's research has far-reaching implications, in areas such as medical diagnostics and the monitoring of aging aircraft.
Tobin Marks received the Medal of Science for his contributions to organometallic and inorganic chemistry, and materials science. As we heard in his presentation, Professor Marks' research touches on everything from anti-tumor pharmaceuticals, to the emerging field of organic electronics, to new catalytic methods for manufacturing polymers.
These distinguished researchers have not only made valuable contributions to research; they have also served as mentors to scores of graduate students and post docs.
They've touched countless others with their knowledge through lectures, textbooks, journal articles, research talks, and other means to educate and inform. Very few of us can claim such a pervasive impact on the world.
Congratulations to both of you on your accomplishments. I extend my sincere thanks to you for your contributions to science and engineering -- and to society.
As director of the National Science Foundation, I'm often asked, especially by members of Congress, "What are the upcoming breakthroughs in research, and where should we be placing our investments?"
With all apologies to any venture capitalists in the room, I think the most exciting and lucrative upcoming innovations are the ones that we can't predict. At least not precisely enough to know how to retire as a billionaire!
I do know that our nation's investment dollars are best spent on ensuring a steady supply of basic research discoveries, and students ready to become the workforce of the future. These two components form the backbone of a healthy high-tech economy.
While I can't say exactly what the future will bring for science and technology, I can say something about how the conduct of research is changing. In the next 20-40 years, the scope and productivity of research will change, and that change will be nothing short of revolutionary.
For several decades, we have witnessed the convergence of fields of science and engineering. The talks we heard today are a good reflection of the multi-disciplinary nature of cutting-edge research. At NSF, we are now funding proposals in such areas as bio-geo-chemistry, nano-eco-toxicology, and computational neuro-genetic modeling just to name a few of the tongue-twisting new fields.
As disciplines converge and collide, intermingle and mesh, more research proposals will be from coalitions of researchers rather than from single principle investigators.
This trend is not surprising, because many of the technological challenges we face today, such as climate change, water shortages, energy sustainability and disease pandemics, are simply too large to tackle without teamwork and cooperation among many specialists.
We are beginning to see engineering and natural science converge with social and behavioral science, and even with the arts and entertainment.
These exchanges and convergences are a direct result of a "shrinking" world. In the 20th century, the world shrank dramatically: first through mechanized travel, radio waves and the telegraph, followed by the development of a global network of telecommunications and aviation. Satellite-based communications and the Internet shrank our world further still. In the 21st century, cyberinfrastructure will not only continue this trend, it will redefine what we mean by "our world."
Already, virtual communities allow people to work and play together in worlds that exist only online.
Today, astronomers in Hawaii collaborate with colleagues in Chile to aim two giant telescopes at the simmering embers of a dying giant star. They coordinate their efforts primarily in cyberspace.
In education, MIT now offers video lectures of 1,800 courses, free of charge, on their Web site. In 2007, the Web site got 2 million hits. The government of Pakistan is investing in satellite receivers to tap into Web educational materials like these.
Scientists and engineers are already at work on the seeds of technologies yet to come. As progress is made in the next decade or two in mapping the human brain, we'll be in the position to reverse engineer the most powerful computer nature has ever assembled.
We will discover more holistic interfaces between the human brain and high-end computers and cybernetic control systems. Our electronics will better anticipate, and adapt to, change, even highly dynamic change.
We will meld what the human brain does best, such as pattern recognition and analog reasoning, with what the computer chip does best, in terms of computation speed and data processing.
Soon, our cell phones, Blackberries and laptops will seem like museum relics, as new remarkable devices replace them.
If the progress in automobiles was the same as we've seen in computers from ENIAC to the modern thin laptop, a Rolls Royce would cost $1 and get 1 billion miles on a gallon of gasoline!
Now, this is all a vision of the future, based on the potential movements in science and engineering.
But I would be remiss if I didn't admit to you that I lose sleep over our nation's ability to maintain its course to a bright technological future.
Norm Augustine, former Lockheed Martin CEO, and a good friend of science and engineering in America, recently compiled a list of notable milestones. He found that:
"A new research university is scheduled to launch soon with a day-one endowment of 10 billion dollars, equal to what it took MIT 142 years to accumulate.
Next year, over 200,000 students will study abroad, mostly in the fields of science and engineering, often with government-provided scholarships.
Government investment in non-defense R&D is set to increase by 25% over the next few years.
A multi-year initiative is under way to make the country a global nanotechnology hub.
And, the world's most powerful particle accelerator will begin operation this year."
These developments all sound like enlightened science policy, right?
Well, Norm points out that these actions are being taken by Saudi Arabia, China, the U.K., India, and Switzerland, respectively.
Now, just to be clear we certainly want our friends around the world to enjoy the rewards of investment in science and technology. Our nation poured substantial resources into basic research and STEM education, beginning in earnest shortly after the launch of Sputnik.
Other countries, viewing our resulting economic prosperity, are naturally aiming to do the same. And we are happy to see technology improve the lives of people around the world.
As Congressman Rush Holt has said on the topic, "You don't win the Indy 500 by spreading nails on the track. You win it by building a faster car."
America needs to keep its vehicle of science and engineering research and education tuned up, fueled up, and ready to continue setting the pace. The problem is not that other nations have joined the race; the problem is that weve taken our foot off the accelerator.
Over the last two decades, U.S. federal support for research in the physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering has been stagnant when adjusted for inflation. As a percentage of GDP, the U.S. federal government has halved its investment in physical science and engineering research since 1970.1 And, the four-year period from 2004 to 2007 represents the first continuous decline in U.S. federal investment in basic R&D at colleges and universities in twenty-five years.
In recent years, both the Administration and Congress have vowed to support increased funding for basic research. The President's American Competitiveness Initiative and the America COMPETES Act both promised to double NSF's budget, and the budgets of two other federal agencies that support basic research in the physical sciences and engineering.
However, NSF's actual fiscal year 2008 funding level is far from being a first step on the road to a budget doubling in fact, our small increase fails to keep up with inflation.
We're feeling the effects of the FY 2008 budget across the Foundation, in program areas both large and small.
A thousand promising research grants will go unfunded. Hundreds of deserving graduate students will not receive Graduate Research Fellowships. Three Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers will be deferred.
Emerging fields will lose momentum, and important new projects will be pushed to the back burner for a year.
We need your help in communicating our message to the American public.
We cannot maintain America's position on the frontier, and we cannot produce the talent and facilities to advance that frontier, without consistent, reliable resources. I call upon you, because you are among the wise and experienced, to encourage, support and foster an understanding within your own institutions, as well as in industry and government, of what is at stake for the nation.
I ask you to make the case that we need a renewed commitment to cutting-edge research and education, to raise U.S. innovation to the highest standard. Without a robust and growing economy, the nation will be seriously strained to meet pressing social needs.
America needs bold efforts, at the most demanding levels of creative enterprise, to sustain a leadership role in the global economy. I urge you to step forward and help to lead us in that endeavor.
Thank you. In my remaining time, I hope I can answer some of your questions.
1 Augustine, Norm. Is America Falling Off the Flat Earth?

WARSAW, Poland (CNS) — Catholic leaders in central Europe vowed to uphold church teachings on marriage after Europe's highest court ruled same-sex married couples should have residence rights in all countries.
"Groups who think differently about marriage will certainly see this as a new opportunity," said Father Francisc Ungureanu, secretary-general of the Romanian Catholic bishops' conference.
"But we're confident the truth about human life and marriage will remain the same, and we'll count on politicians and legislators not to defy this. The very function of law and justice is to say what marriage is and protect it," he told Catholic News Service.
The Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice upheld June 5 the right of a Romanian gay man, Adrian Coman, to have his American marriage partner, Claibourn Robert Hamilton, living with him.
Welcoming the June 5 ruling as a "win for human dignity," Coman said it would enable the couple to "look in the eyes of any public official in Romania and across the EU certain our relationship is equally valuable and equally relevant."
Father Ungureanu said June 8 the court issued its judgment at the request of Romanian judges, making it a "purely legal matter" which would not pressure the church to change its position.
Elsewhere, Archbishop Stanislaw Zvolensky of Bratislava, Slovakia, president of Slovakia's bishops' conference, said "legal chaos" would result if countries not recognizing same-sex marriage were forced to give greater rights to foreign nationals than to their own citizens.
"The EU's constitution stipulates that countries draw inspiration from Europe's cultural, religious and humanist heritage, but this move contradicts human rights, natural law and common sense," Archbishop Zvolensky said in a letter to Koen Lenaerts, the court's president.
"The court is trampling on the EU's founding principles and ideas: democracy, the rule of law, human dignity and universal values," the archbishop said.
European Union law permits spouses of EU citizens to join them in their country of residence, but was believed by Romania's Supreme Court not to apply to Hamilton, whose marriage to Coman was contracted in Belgium in 2010.
However, the court said the term spouse was "gender-neutral," ruling that residence and free movement rights should extend to all marriage partners even in countries not allowing same-sex unions.
Media commentators said Romania would now come under pressure to recognize same-sex marriages and partnerships, which are legal in most EU countries but not in Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
However, that view was rejected in a June 5 statement by Vasile Banescu, spokesman for Romania's Orthodox patriarchate, who vowed same-sex marriage would "remain forbidden and unrecognized" in his country.
Father Ungureanu told CNS that pressure from churches would continue to ensure support for "traditional marriage and family life" in the country, which decriminalized homosexuality in 2002.
"EU officials may well try to force changes here, as they've done in other countries," Father Ungureanu said.
"Let's hope they won't risk action they've no mandate for," he added. "If the notion of a spouse is redefined, then other features of marriage will be challenged as well."
Romania's Supreme Court sought the European court ruling in November 2016 on whether the EU's 2004 Free Movement Directive and family privacy clauses in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union applied to same-sex couples after immigration officials refused Hamilton residence beyond three months.

Over the past few weeks I've become more than a little addicted to looking at other peoples Filofaxes and planners on the internet. People are so creative with their planning and organising their lives it has inspired me to do the same. At the same time I thought I would share my journey with the World Wide Web!
Today I'm going to show you guys through my Kikki-k planner and the way I've set it out. It's absolutely beautiful, I think I'm a little bit in love. Now bear in mind that the way I have my planner set up will not be perfect for everyone. The different sections and dividers really depend on what you need on hand most often.
Also, although I have really tried to make my planner pretty, it's no use to me at all if it isn't functional. So even though I've decorated it in a bunch of different ways, I've had to make sure that I can still use it to plan and organise my life.
This is what I see when I first open my planner. On the left hand side there is a large secretarial pocket where I keep a few sheets of stickers (I'll show these off in a later post). The three other pockets have a butterfly post-it pad in blue, a small "Today" post it pad, and some smaller decorative post its. On the right is my dashboard, or my front page. I made it out of an old card, sticking the front and back together and then cutting it to size. Then I stuck the post it pads onto it and added 2014 along the top. I think it looks pretty good. The pen loop on the right hand side has a random blue ballpoint pen that I liked because it's chunky and easy to hold.
On the back of my dashboard I have my colour-coding key that I use in my calendars. As you can see I have a few different aspects of my life that need organising and so colour coding them makes it easy for me to see what's going on. The dividers came with the Kikki-k planner, I just decorated them with some washi tape to cover the labels. This means I can rearrange things without having to re-label the dividers. The little bunny page marker on the divider came in a two pack from Kikki-k.
The month on two page (MTP) inserts were included with the planner and start of the calendar section. On these pages I'm just putting major dates like birthdays, semester dates, and key events. Appointments and smaller events will probably just stay on the weekly calendars later on. The bookmark helps get to the relevant month quickly. Because I'm on holiday at the moment, from work and uni, I don't have a lot going on this month. I tried to co-ordinate the stars with the purple and yellow washi tape, but not sure how good of a job I did.
I was going to go through my entire planner in this post, but this post is getting longer and longer and I'm barely halfway done. That means there will be a part two!
Let me know any comments or feedback on my planner and the post, and any questions you might have.
Catch you later!

Diamano Coura West African Dance Company
DANCE ORIGIN: West Africa
Diamano Coura performs and tours extensively in the US, Canada, and Europe.
Diamano Coura offers classes in music and dance, arts advocacy and information
sessions, serving as a community hub for African Diaspora artists. Diamano
Coura in the Senegalese Wolof language means those who bring the message.
ORIGIN: Liberia, Guinea, and Senegal
In Djembe Love, five bright dances from West Africa pay homage to the djembe drumthe inseparable partner of African dance. The djembes rhythm commands the dance, as it signals rejoicing, healing, and connection in community.
Drum Talk is an improvised dialogue between the charismatic drummer and utopia-bound dancer.
The Breaking of the Sande Bush, from the Lorma ethnic group, celebrates a girls rite-of-passage from the secret Sande society. In Liberias remote, mountainous Lofa County, girls return from a sequestered bush school for their initiation into adulthood. Under the sacred guidance of zoe, spiritual leaders of the female society, they display new skills. Lorma initiates wear threaded skirts woven on a hand-held loom. Beads around their waists represent protection and show their status. Dangling threads hide the girls faces, as no one except family should see them. The white chalk signifies purity.
Macru is a fast-paced flirtation dance from the Susu group of Guinea.
Sokho, a celebration dance from the Komanko group in Faranah, Guinea, was originally a male initiation dance.
Mandingo is a celebratory dance from the Mandingo people, Africas prominent ethno-linguistic group, (Gambia, Mali, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Cote dIvoire, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania.) The Mandingo are descendants of the Mali Empire, founded 1235, once one of the worlds largest. Wealthy in gold and salt, the empire had an army second only to the Mongols and over four hundred cities, including the great Middle Eastern-African cultural center, Timbuktu. Mandingo musical and spiritual tradition is known for its griots, poets who pass down history through song, and for its exquisite music on drums and banjo-like kora.
The djembe hand drum is carved from
one piece of wood and has an animal-skin head. It also descends from the Mali
Empiretraditionally housed in a shrine, used only for ceremony. In the 1950s, Les Ballets Africains,
Fodéba Keïta, and the National Ballet of Senegal brought the djembe on tour, and now it inspires
musicians and dancers around the world. It is the drum that talks, the drum that opens
hearts. For Sande Bush, a kingi log
drum speaks a language of the forest.
DANCE ORIGIN: South Africa, West Africa
DANCE ORIGIN: Liberia
The Leopard Ballet is an excerpt from a Liberian dance drama of the same name, from the folklore tradition of the Vai Tribe. The story takes place in a village threatened by a leopard. When the kings daughter is killed by the leopard, he calls his best hunters to hunt down the terrifying animal, offering as a reward his other daughter in marriage. Thus begins the danced battle with the leopard, and the piece ends in a community celebration of victory.
The story is a folktale written in 1970 by Liberias prominent novelist Bai Tee Moore. Its based on a similar event from ten years before in a village of the Vai people (Moores own community) of Cape Mount County in Liberia. Moore worked at the Ministry of Culture and the Liberian National Cultural Troup turned his folktale into a living piece of folkloric ballet, now a national treasure. He spoke often about the significance of honoring indigenous Liberian culture. Upon his death in 1988, Liberian author and politician Wilton Sankawulo wrote, The best tribute we can pay to the memory of Bai Tee is making our culture part of our daily life, for culturally we are dressed inborrowed robes . . . to replace these alien garments with ones of our own making
The Vai people use whole body ceremonial masks that transform dancers, signifying another being has entered the dance. In this piece, the leopard mask shows movements of the animal and signals that the dancer is taken over by its spirit. White chalk is a sign of purity and blessing, worn by hunters for protection.
The music is traditional, and it is specific to harvest, animalistic representation, and celebration, calling everyone together.
The Leopard Ballet was
learned from Nimely Napla, and re-staged by Napla and Naomi Diouf with
additional choreography by Ousseynou Kouyate and Ibrahima Diouf and
some aspects from Dr. Zakarya Dioufs Serrer tradition. Costumes are by Nimely
Napla, and music is by Madiou Diouf, Dr. Zak Diouf, Mory Fofana, Mohammed
Kouyate, and Darian LaFoucade. The piece had its U.S. debut this year at
Oaklands Malonga Center for the Arts.
2009 Title: Zaazi
2009 Costumes/Staging: Nimely Napla
2009 Dancers: LaTashia Bell, Tamika Davis, Stefon Dent, Esailama Diouf, Ibrahima Diouf, Kine Diouf, Naomi Diouf, Fikpee Flomo, Diony Gamoso, Paul Griffith, Ebony Henderson, Patrice Henderson, LaDonna Higgins, Antoinette Holland, Dedeh Jaimah, Kelly Kouyate, Sekou NDiaye, Nimely Naplah, Djien Tie, NDeye Penda Toure, Stephanie Wilson
2009 Musicians: Madiou Diouf, Dr. Zakariya Diouf, Bli Bi Gore, Josh Jacob, Mohammed Kouyate, Darian LaFoucade, MBay Louvouezo, Gbassay Zinneh
The Breaking of the Sande Bush is a rite-of-passage dance of the Lorma ethnic group. It comes from one of Liberia's more remote regionsLofa County, in the northeast mountains. The Lorma have two secret societies which initiate and care for their membersporo for males, and sande for female. Young Lorma girls are taken from their families to a Sande Society or Zardaygaia center of learningin the bush. There, they are guided by zoe, spiritual leaders of the female society. Maintaining total secrecy from men, they learn how to cook, dance, and sing; study biology; and learn how to conduct themselves as women. This zaazi dance, as it is called in Liberia, celebrates the girls return to their parents and their initiation into adulthood. Under the eye of the zoe, the girls display their skills.
The ceremony celebrates differences between women and men, forest and village, and invisible spirits and visible maskers. Dancers in full-body masks embody the spirit of the African bush and of the community. The ZaaZi (the first mask to enter the stage) is the girls' guide and protector; it announces their readiness to leave and dances to celebrate their achievements.
The young women wear thread skirts woven on a hand-held loom. Beads around their waists represent protection and show their status. Dangling threads hide the girls' faces, as no one except family should see them. The white chalk signifies purity.
Diamano Coura's percussionists evoke Lorma's traditional sounds: a cow horn announces the masked dancers; an uncut gourd laced with seedsthe sa-sa or kpokuiimitates various forest birds. The kingi log-drum communicates directly with the dancers and the "masks": it provides signals for movement and its beats emphasize specific gestures. It is understood that the kingi drum speaks a language, and the initiates must learn the Kingi language before graduating from bush school. Musicians also play the badige or sagban drum and the gbe-gbe-ge bass drum.
The origin of The Breaking of the Sande Bush is unknown, as the secret Sande Society has no written history. Artistic Director Naomi Diouf studied the dance with Nimely Napla of the National Cultural Troupe in Liberia and in Oakland, CA. The company, in apprenticeship, researched and trained intensively in movement and song. It was performed in 2006 at the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts in Oakland.
TITLE OF PIECE: Kakilambe
In Diamano Couras historical re-creation, the Kakilambe and his counterpart, fertility goddess Nimba Mother of the Earth, are called upon for assistance to restore balance to a village. The dance depicts a young woman becoming possessed by an overpowering entity. Her lifeless body is revived through dancing, cleansing and offerings to the Kakilambe spirit. When his spirit is appeased, the Nimba mask, depicted as a huge towering bird with large breasts, is summoned to make the women and land fertile. A grand celebration concludes the ceremony.

Audi Work - How long is it covered?
ChaiHal replied to ChaiHal's topic in Audi ChatI had a horrible feeling this would be the case, but I'll see what the local dealer says. Cheers for the prompt answers.
Audi Work - How long is it covered?
ChaiHal posted a topic in Audi ChatAnyone have any idea how long warrenty work is covered for? I had an issue with my S3 which was fixed under warrenty on 11th February 2011. The problem was water leaking through an incorrectly fitted roof rail that ended up in the Bose unit in the boot causing some weird and wonderful loud noises to come from a random speaker. All's been fine up until this week when it's started again. I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow to see what they say, but it would be good to get some idea where I stand as the car is now well out of the warrenty period.
What's your MP name?
ChaiHal replied to garcon magnifique's topic in Rubber RoomI like it!
She's ordered Seat Leon FR 2.0TDi 184 DSG Montsant Red Technology Pack Comfort Pack Winter Pack Spare Wheel Tow Bar Pre Wiring (So I can move my off road bike round the country)
The wife's gone ahead and placed her order for the Seat Leon. Got a call back from Drive the Deal at 9:30 a.m. to confirm the details. So far she's quiet impressed with them, dealer should ring her within the next few days. As you say Chick, they should be somewhere local(ish) to us.
I know what you mean here and we've both had this discussion. The future trade in value's not going to be an issue as our plans are to keep it for 5-10 (maybe more) years and this new Leon FR seems just as well built in the cabin. It's almost identical to the Golf both in looks and feel, the older Seat's were very plastic, but this new one's a real improvement.
Well she's changed her mind - why am I suprised? She had me looking at a Seat Leon FR at the weekend. To be fair, she's done her homework and can find no real difference between this model and the Golf GT, but saves in the region of £1.5k. Added to that Seat have 0% finance on at the moment with £1k off the deposit. If she takes that then she can use their "free" £1k to upgrade to the 184 diesel engine.
Parking like a twat
ChaiHal replied to patently's topic in Rubber RoomLooks more like a handbrake failure, car rolling back scenario.
Buying a new Golf
ChaiHal posted a topic in VW ChatThe wife wants a new Golf GT 2.0 Diesel DSG with a couple of options. She went to the local VW dealer last night for a test drive and to get a price. After a little haggling all they would do was drop 5% off the car, but still full price on the options. Looking at Drive the Deal they are offering 12% off the total price of the car (including options). Now I'd like to deal locally, easier if she has a problem and this is where it'll go for a service. Plus I don't like the idea of going to a local shop to try something on then ordering over the internet. But I'm not a charity and we're talk £2k difference here! My question is, should I see the same reduction from the local dealer, or am I expecting too much? If I'm expecting too much, what should I be expecting? This is a cash sale with no trade in so I'm unhappy with the local dealer for trying to fleece her! Cheers, Paul
A few one-liners
ChaiHal replied to Mort's topic in Rubber RoomI just gone run over by a snow plough. "B@stard" I said though gritted teeth.
ChaiHal replied to aj84's topic in General CarsStrangely enough the Audi insurance (backed by Allianz) were the cheapest for me this year. They came out 20% ( approx £100) cheaper than the comparison websites.
I've got the car back and so far all seems fine the noise appears to have gone. Dealers have rewired the amplifier and covered the new loom with "special" insulating tape to protect it from RF interference. I just hope it's the last I see of the dealers until it's time for a service.
Hi John, cheers for the response. Same as mine. Latest from Audi via the dealer is this issue has been seen in two other cars and is still probably due to a trapped wire. The dealer has rewired the amplifier by running temporary cables and the issue appears resolved. They are currently waiting for "special" tape to be delivered so that they can insulate the cables to the amplifier. All being well I might get my car back tomorrow and I can give this TT back, not a bad car, but it's convinced me I never want a soft top. Today I've owned the car for 40 days, 18 of which it's been with the dealer, I'm starting to forget what it looks like
What would you do.

The 6 Rules of Good Design
Good visual design doesn't just happen by chance. We are sharing an excellent video that discusses the science behind how we view and make sense of the world and how this has led to producing a blueprint for good design. The video begins with the basic theory in psychology, called Gestalt, which means 'unified whole'. It refers to the idea that the human brain is geared to viewing objects as a whole and not as their component parts. The video then goes on to mention the three psychologists (Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler and Kurt Koffka) who developed this further into the six principles of design that are used today as a guide for all creatives in the digital world. Here is a summary of the six principles:
1. Similarity
The human brain likes to view similar elements as a group. Objects may have similarity of colour, texture or shape. This is why the use of fonts is important on a website or animation as it will give a sense of unified design.
2. Continuation
The eye is drawn to things that continue on a line and will continue to follow that line until it is broken or changes direction. This principle is often used by artists to draw a viewer into a composition by creating lines for the eye to follow. Pink Floyd's Album Cover for Dark Side of the Moon has a simple line to follow in it's imagery.
3. Closure
Objects that are incomplete are perceived by the human eye as complete as the brain wants to fill in the missing information. Stencils take advantage of this - a collection of shapes can be made to represent letters or images. Also, some of the world's most iconic logos have been created using this principle - the World Wildlife Fund's iconic panda is an example of how well this works in terms of design.
4. Proximity
The human brain likes to see a collection of similar elements as a group - the similarities could be anything from colour, texture, shape or size. It is a more cohesive design if these individual items are placed in groups.
5. Figure/Ground
Often used by artists to create visual illusions, this uses the principle that the brain likes to see objects as if they are in a different plane to the background - it separates out the two parts of the image. Escher used this principle to great advantage with his famous woodblocks where often foreground images would disappear into different background images.
6. Symmetry and Order
The final principle relates to the fact that the human eye likes to have order and symmetry when viewing objects. Have you ever looked at a website where a row of buttons or images were misaligned? The brain wants to put them back in order! Creating great design - based on symmetry or perhaps grouping similar things together - will create harmony between the viewer and content.
Whatever you engage with visually - a website, an animation, a movie - if the six principles are not followed, the human brain will feel uncomfortable viewing it. Being aware of the principles results in a less chaotic world and a more comfortable place to be. Check out some Gestalt thinking in the attached video.

IK Multimedia ONE and Dyna Mu First Impressions
Download "One"
The new ONE processor was designed as an "all-in-one" solution for easily crafting final masters or shaping the sound of single tracks as well as mix subgroups with astounding simplicity and mind-blowing effectiveness. It includes an EQ, compressor, harmonic exciter, low-end enhancer and limiter that will let anyone achieve professional quality results quickly and easily.
The magic happens with the 2 big knobs "PUSH" and "VOLUME" - "PUSH" is a single knob that makes adjusting compression easy but precise and natural, and "VOLUME" - the one knob that makes your music sound louder without worrying about artifacts.
Glue you mixes together with all-tube character
The Dyna-Mu is an amazing emulation of a well-known American tube compressor celebrated for its warm sound and vivid colored tone, which thanks to IK Multimedia's virtual circuit modeling, is perfectly recreated and indistinguishable from the hardware.
This modern-classic compressor has the characteristic of gluing a mix together with incredible quality, along with how it shines on individual tracks and is perfect as part of a professional mastering chain. Additionally, the saturation it produces when pushed to its limits can be used to add unique color to your mixes as well as individual tracks.

La La Lovely (Hardcover)
The Art of Finding Beauty in the Everyday
FaithWords, 9781478920762, 400pp.
Publication Date: April 10, 2018
List Price: 22.00*
* Individual store prices may vary.
Through beautiful designs and imagery, LA LA LOVELY invites readers to find their true identity where there is brokenness, discover the love of God, and design their own special place of beauty.
Author Trina McNeilly has been blogging for nearly a decade. While she spent her days sharing beauty, looking for lovely things, and redecorating her childhood home, her parents' unexpected divorce shattered her ideals of "home."
Through this journey, Trina learned that beauty is not beyond the laundry pile, chipped paint, dirty dishes, broken table or broken life. It's right in the center of it. Trina found that God IS beauty. And that he invites us to look, discover, uncover and find because when we find beauty, we find God.
In LA LA LOVELY, Trina shares stories and inspiration from her journey of finding, and being found, by beauty. You will find deep matters of the heart along with practical pointers on things like decorating your home, finding your style, and creating beautiful spaces. Each chapter offers essays, beautiful photographs, design tips, and practical advice for creating a place of beauty and belonging no matter where you live or what you're going through.
About the Author
TRINA MCNEILLY is a writer and founder of La La Lovely, where she has been blogging for nine years, sharing matters of the heart and design related finds. With an eye for beauty, Trina finds inspiration in styled spaces, other times in the broken places, and everywhere in between. Through soulful writing, in the voice of trusted friend, she shares her finds and all about being found. Trina's work also includes creative direction, styling, and design projects. Trina lives in her hometown, near Chicago, with her husband, and four children.
Praise For La La Lovely: The Art of Finding Beauty in the Everyday…
"Trina's soul is not unlike her innate design sense. It's deep and searching, forever shifting to make room, to carve space, to find a new purpose for it all - the hardship and shiplap, the mundane and the mirror, the strife and the sofa. What a beautiful gift it is to witness such transformations in her living room and living heart."—
Erin Loechner, Founder of DesignforMankind.com and Author of Chasing Slow
"Every inch of this book - the images, the words, and Trina's story of losing and finding - is a call to consider how beauty heals us. Not the slick, glossy pretty of perfect worlds. But the hard-won beauty of everyday loving and living. Maybe most of all, these pages remind us of hope we all need to hear: that even life's endings can become beautiful beginnings in God's hands."—
Leeana Tankersley, author of Begin Again
"Trina's book is lovely, but the words and content inside massively exceed the beauty of the cover. This is a book that embraces the tension of "and". We can talk about lovely things AND talk about real things. We can embrace the artistry around us, we can enhance the beauty we find, AND we can also see the broken, partnering with God in redeeming it all. Reading this, you'll be encouraged and spurred on, inspired and ignited to find the lovely around you AND equipped to add to it. I can't suggest it enough!"—Jess Connolly, speaker and author of Wild and Free and Dance Stand Run
"Trina wears her heart on her sleeve-and for that I'm grateful. Her message of grace overcoming loss is a gift to all of us. The heartfelt honesty on these pages will meet you like an old friend."—Gabe Lyons, President, Q and author of Good Faith
"Trina McNeilly views the unswept corners of life through the persistent gaze of beauty and the outcome is contagious. With the eye of a designer, the soul of a poet, and the compassion of a daughter deeply loved by God, Trina helps us bring order to our hearts along with our living rooms. Fun, warm, and vulnerable to the core, I devoured this book."—Shannan Martin, author of Falling Free: Rescued From the Life I Always Wanted
"I've experienced a tragedy that left me with more questions than hope, wanting to close down my heart and stop searching for truth. For me, turning the corner on events like this come from thoughtful and vulnerable discussion with others. That is what I experience from Trina's book-heartfelt and honest storytelling that helps me deeply reflect and inch closer to truth."—Barrett Ward, CEO/Founder of ABLE

According to recent report from GVR, CRO SERVICES market is likely to touch USD 45.2 billion in year 2022. The market is dominated by handful of vendors namely IQVIA, Labcorp, ICON, Parexel and PPD. IQVIA leads this trail by accounting for 12.4 percentage of market share.
According to recent article from Outsourcingpharma which discusses CRO market nuances, and markets consolidation over the course of time, it would not be surprising to witness these players consolidate further. Given the fact that top 7-10 players in this industry accounts for close to 60% of market share.
Some of the other specifics that report from GVR highlights is
- US leading the chart from both supply and demand side (CRO services).
- When it comes to segmentation of CRO service types , Drug discovery accounts for major share of 33%.
- At therapeutic level it's oncology that accounts of largest share of 25%.
The important essence of the report is its estimate of growth rate for CRO services. It is analyzed to be 12% , which is higher than yesteryear's 10% . Now the question to be asked is,
- Is it from increased outsourcing from Biopharmaceutical companies?
- Is the uptick on the grounds of sponsors increased outsourcing addiction because of availability of bundled services from CRO behemoths?
- Or is it because small CROs have garnered expertise in niche therapeutic areas, which in turn triggered increased outsourcing by small sponsors?
Good thing is CRO is embracing the wave of time, innovation and regulatory- which is very much visible by new models that likes of IQVIA, Labcorp and others are offering.

Note: Incredibles 2 contains a sequence of flashing lights that may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or other photo sensitivities.
"It's time to make some wrong things right! Help me bring supers back into the sunlight. We need to change people's perceptions about superheroes, and Elastigirl is our best play."
Writer/director Brad Bird (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Tomorrowland, Ratatouille, The Iron Giant) returns to helm Incredibles 2 as the plot picks up right where the 2004 original left off with The Underminer, voiced by Pixar mainstay John Ratzenberger (TV's Cheers), causing havoc that this superhero family and close friend Frozone must quell along then the mysterious Screenslaver villain.
Set during 1964 (confirmed by specific references), this sequel features the Parr family and Lucius Best (a.k.a. Frozone), well voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, encountering telecommunications tycoon Winston Deavor, voiced by Bob Odenkirk, becoming a strong ally for superheroes. Winston runs his company with his tech genius sister Evelyn, voiced by Catherine Keener.
Bob, voiced by Craig T. Nelson, soon becomes a sleep-deprived Dad as the family matriarch Helen, voiced by Holly Hunter, gets chosen for a hero restoring campaign. As Elastigirl, she's preferable over Mr. Incredible and Frozone due to the limited damage she creates.
Daughter Violet, voiced by Sarah Vowell, also returns as Huck Milner takes over for Spencer Fox as her brother Dash due to voice changes
Jack-Jack's voice by Eli Fucile is all archived recordings while the most famous off-screen character, Honey Best, is voiced again by LaTanya Richardson Jackson. If these characters are ever aged, then Jack-Jack would easily be at the forefront based on several revealing new powers that are used well for dramatic and comic effect. Superhero relocation superior Rick Dicker is now voiced by Jonathan Banks who took over for the late Bud Luckey.
New characters include Voyd, voiced by Sophia Bush, along with other superheroes while Isabella Rossellini voices The Ambassador.
Even at a considerable 118-minute run time, Incredibles 2 needs more character development, especially for Frozone, Bob and Dash. Audiences will likely encounter a surprising character twist while the themes and tones are a bit dark and overtly political. The Michael Giacchino music score keeps the thrills and continuity going.
The film's visuals are truly incredible, especially the motorcycle sequence with Elastagirl that take full advantage of the animation medium showing stuntwork and action otherwise impossible. The color schemes and animation techniques really shine, especially an interior fight sequence.
Bird also voices superhero fashion designer Edna Mode and adds to the comedic enhancements in the film. Michael Bird, Brad Bird's oldest son, returns to voice Tony Rydinger, Violet's classmate in an expanded role that helps progress the plot well.
Enhancing elements include subtle references in the set design (e.g., a large painting in Helen's hotel room, Municiberg Credit Union, etc.), Mr. Incredible's car, and family challenges ranging from dangerous threats to Common Core math. The reference to "an eccentric billionaire who wanted to enter and leave his home unnoticed" also seems to reference the remote-loving villain Syndrome.
The animated action adventure film Incredibles 2 is Pixar Animation's 20th film and is a great family adventure that comes recommended (*** out of four stars) and rated PG for action violence and mild bad language. Audiences can enjoy the short film Bao before the show. Also showing in 3D and IMAX theaters.

It's Friday! The most universally loved day of the week, I believe. Just a few things to share:
I can't stop listening to this song. Breaking Benjamin is a new band for me and I'm really digging them. Have you heard of them before?
And last night's premiere of Fashion Show on Bravo. I didn't think it was quite as good as Project Runway, I must confess. First of all, most of the clothes they produced were hideous. And that Merlin is so gay he makes my teeth hurt. He really ticked me off with his "male domination" comment. Male? Honey, have you seen the fancy feathered hat and 6-inch heeled white go-go boots you're wearing? Um. Yeah.
Did you watch? What did you think? Have a great Friday!

Oooh, LOVE this band! You think they'd do the soundtrack when BLOOD RIGHTS goes to film?ReplyDelete
That's what I was hoping. LOLReplyDelete
I love this song! Don't think I could've named the band, but I had heard it before.ReplyDelete
Ooh! That band is new for me, too.ReplyDelete
I'm finally just jumping on The Fray bandwagon now. I can't stop listening to "You Found Me".
Have a great weekend!
The name sounds familiar, but I don't think I've ever heard this song. Good stuff. Thanks, Kristen.ReplyDelete
I didn't watch Fashion Show. I'm still wondering why Bravo sold Project Runway to Lifetime. Totally confusing. :shrug: I'm looking forward to seeing Heidi and the gang over there.
That song is on the "make believe soundtrack" to the book I wrote. :) I love BB. Blue October is amazing too (also on my soundtrack).ReplyDelete
I've heard the band name, but don't recognize the song. Love his voice!ReplyDelete
I didn't see that show last night, but it sounds like a hoot. :D
Have a great weekend!
I'll have to catch it online. I like to wait so I can see a few episodes back to back. Call it impatience. :)ReplyDelete
Yeah, I caught snatches of it and I just wasn't into it so much. I love Project Runway though.ReplyDelete

Deep purples, pinks, violets and blues, set off with the silver paint and white ink.

Oven Roasted Tomato, Garlic, and Basil Pasta
A few simple ingredients can go a long way in flavor! I wanted to make a side for the chicken parmesan I cooked the other night and threw this quick pasta dish together. It's easy, light, and tasty!
1lb medium shells pasta
1 pints of cherry tomatoes, halved
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
5 Tbs olive oil (I infuse mine with dried basil leaves and garlic!)
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 ½ tsp garlic salt
1 ½ tsp cracked black pepper
½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Place halved tomatoes on a large cooking sheet. Toss minced garlic over the top. Drizzle 2 Tbs of olive oil over tomatoes and garlic. Sprinkle rosemary, garlic salt, and pepper over the top and place in the oven.
*While you're waiting for the tomatoes you can start the pasta.* Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tomatoes start to wrinkle and crisp on the edges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add pasta. Cook for about 7-10 minutes or until al dente.
Turn off heat, drain water, and throw pasta back in the pot. Stir in remaining three tablespoons of olive oil, chopped basil, and oven roasted tomatoes and garlic. Toss until evenly coated and serve warm.

Justapaz, a ministry of the Mennonite Church of Colombia, reports an ongoing state of crisis in the northern Colombian province of Córdoba. So far in 2009, six Protestant church leaders from southern Córdoba have been murdered by paramilitary armed groups. Several attempted murders and dozens of death threats have forced the displacement of hundreds of people. Some churches have been literally caught in the crossfire. In one town, the lives of six pastors were threatened if they failed to make extortion payments. Many victims were targeted for their community leadership in land-rights struggles and for opposing the violence affecting their communities.
Justapaz is profoundly concerned about what it sees as the ongoing collusion between rearmed paramilitary groups and Colombian public security forces, as well as the lack of response from other state agencies to this violence.
According to local leaders and local and regional analysts, the current surge is driven by a territorial dispute between paramilitary groups and their economic interest in drug trafficking routes. Justapaz leaders say the groups target local pastors and leaders as a strategy of coercion to gain more land to control the routes. The number of violent deaths documented by Justapaz, as well as the analysis of local leaders, suggests that these groups are seeking to consolidate their control.

Udupi, Mar 07, 2018: The headmistress of the Government Higher Primary Urdu School at Janatha Colony, Uppunda, Byndoor, was locked up inside the staff room by the SDMC president at 2.30 pm on March 5, Monday, and she was there till 8 pm, during the course of which she fainted and took ill.
Mamatha Kumari 49 , who is associated with the school from past three years, was given the probationary headmistress post three months ago. When she was taking classes for students of the sixth standard , SDMC president Laxmi and member Mohan Chandra Kharvi barged into the classroom and demanded that she go to the staff room along with them.
Recommended By Colombia
Once inside the staff room, they demanded that she resign from her post. When she objected to this, they abused her and pressurised her to sign on a resignation form. She strongly opposed this, after she was locked up inside the staff room, and remained there till 8 pm. She fainted around 7.30 pm due to low blood pressure.

California, Death Valley National Monument, Telescope Peak—At 9:00 a.m. on November 26, Richard Lee Hill (17) left his parents at Mahogany Flat Campground (elev. 8,000 feet) in the Panamint Mountains, to make a solo ascent of Telescope Peak (11,049). Although it had snowed recently and the seven mile trail to the summit was partially covered by drifts, the weather at the time of Hill's departure was clear and warm. Hill planned a routine ascent, returning to Mahogany Flat by dusk. He was wearing smooth-soled hiking boots, levi trousers and a quilted parka; he carried no ice axe or survival gear except some matches in a waterproof case. He had neither a map or a compass. Hill was a moderately experienced hiker.
By 12:30 p.m. on the day of departure observers in the valley noted that the peak was covered by storm clouds. By 4:00 p.m. blizzard conditions prevailed on the peak and snow was falling down to 7,000 feet.
When their son had not returned by dark, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Hill became worried and advised the National Park Service of the situation. The time was 6:20 p.m. Immediately one man was dispatched to make a reconnaissance of the trail, but he was forced to return because of weather conditions (snow, wind, and sub-freezing temperatures). The search was postponed until 6:30 a.m. the following morning.
On the following day (November 27) the skies were clear, but 60 m.p.h. winds at 10,000 feet hampered aircraft that were requested during the night. Ground parties encountered blowing snow and temperatures of 8 to 14 degrees. One search party succeeded in reaching the summit of Telescope Peak and discovered that Hill had signed the register at 1:00 p.m. He noted in his entry that he was in a blizzard and that visibility was zero. The day closed with an improvement in the weather, but no trace of young Hill.
The search continued both from the air and from the ground through December 4, when it was discontinued. Throughout the search period high winds and cold temperatures prevailed. Hill has never been found.
Source: Robert C. Gardner, Altadena Mountain Rescue Squad; and Granville B. Liles, Superintendent, Death Valley National Monument.
Analysis: It is believed that Hill strayed from the trail due to the blizzard and poor visibility. He undoubtedly fell down one of the steep slopes leading down from the crest of the mountains and was killed, or injured and froze to death. When Hill started his climb the weather was pleasant, but on the descent he was facing snow driven by high winds under conditions of low temperature.
A search for the body is planned for the spring when the winter snows melt and weather conditions are more predictable.
This is another example of the dangers of climbing alone. Although an experienced climber familiar with weather conditions in the desert ranges perhaps could have foreseen the approaching storm the morning of departure, young Hill could not. Thus he went prepared for a comfortable, fair day. When the weather showed signs of deteriorating the victim should have turned back; his decision to continue for the summit shows lack of proper judgment, particularly in view of the fact that he was alone. Had Hill been properly equipped (ice axe, warm clothing, map, compass, etc.) he would have been more justified in continuing for the summit. Considering how he was equipped, however, a night in the open at temperatures encountered on the mountain was probably more than he could survive, particularly if injured.
It is not advisable, even for experienced climbers to attempt solo ascents of the major summits in the desert ranges.

In Switzerland, a thriving family owned pet food company, Petzeba, is now introducing a handy 5 litre storage pail for cat food; a Paintainer® solution with convenient handles and beautiful artwork showing playful and adorable cats on a black background.
Cats are picky – fresh pet food is key
A key quality of the pail is that it keeps the oxygen out and so safeguards the freshness and the taste of the cat food, which is tossed into the pail from a big bag at the cat owner's home. 2.5 kg of cat food fits into the pail.
Founder and Managing Director Markus Zemp of Petzeba says:
"Cats are very picky eaters and ever so sensitive to freshness. That's why it is so important to keep out the oxygen. Our emphasis is very much on best quality ingredients and we appreciate that our cat food can remain intact in the Paintainer® pail."
"Another advantage of the storage pail is the durable quality. It can be re-filled multiple times and stays as new. Sustainability is important to us, also in respect of packaging, and we appreciate the fact that the Paintainer® pail can be used over and over again," he adds.
Collaborative artwork creation
Further, Markus Zemp points out that the Paintainer® storage pail makes it easy to serve fresh cat food. It is easy to open and re-close; it has a practical size and can be placed in an easily accessible spot in a flat for instance, where quite a few cats live. With this in mind, much attention was given to creating an attractive visual appearance. The artwork decoration stems from all 23 employees at Petzeba who shared ideas and then involved a specialist from RPC Superfos to refine the layout and colours.
Great personal advice
On a general note, Petzeba is pleased with the collaboration with RPC Superfos.
"We have experienced high quality personal advice and have been introduced to a number of possible options before making our final decision. We are more than pleased with our collaboration with RPC Superfos and plan to launch a similar storage solution for dry dog food," Markus Zemp concludes.
Already, Petzeba has opted for measuring cups (from the RPC Superfos product line UniPak), which are helpful for serving the right quantity of cat or dog food.
Petzeba both produces and sells own brand pet food for cats and dogs, and also acts as distributor of pet food from other producers.
I'm an industrial classic; as versatile as it gets and extremely easy to open and close. Get to know me better...

Send milk to orphans and vulnerable children in need.
Recommended Gift: $33 sends 20 bottles of milk.
Enter Any Dollar Amount Below
In developing countries, fresh milk is only available to a small percentage of the population. As a result, the poor are deprived of the nutrition they need. Whole milk contains essential fats and vitamins, such as vitamins A and D, which are vital to brain and nerve development in small children. Without that resource, many children are in danger of suffering stunted growth, but this gift of powdered whole milk provides a solution!
For as little as $33, you can send 20 bottles of powdered whole milk to hungry children.

Is Loving Religion Loving God?
People who love religion more than truth...love their denomination more than God. However, they love themselves most of all. Why?
Because their actions speak louder than their saying "I love God."
God wants us to love Him for who He is. He doesn't want lip service, where we merely go to Sunday-go-meetings once a week and sing "My Jesus I love Thee." He wants us to show that we love Him by our daily living.
In 2 Timothy 3 the Bible warns that the last days people will be hypocritical in their love for the Lord, and that will produce perilous times. Beginning in verse 1 we read, "This know, also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, lovers of [money] . . . lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away"
This verse says people will have a form of godliness? That means they will be religious people who say they love God, but their lifestyles will speak louder than their words. They will love themselves, their money, and their pleasures more than they love God.

Grandma Jensen's house always smelled so good. It seems that whenever we visited her she was in the kitchen with her apron on, wearing a tidy cotton house-dress with her hair beautifully pinned up, baking something for us. Invariably it was cookies. Her applesauce cookies are on of my all time favorite! They're soft and tasty, healthy before "healthy" became a marketing slogan and filled with succulent spices, raisins and walnuts.
Do you remember when Grandma baked an entire huge tub of cookies and gave it to us to take on one of our summer road trips? I will never forget my thrill and astonishment at such a sweet abundance! Hail to our Grandma!
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 cup applesauce
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Cream the butter and sugars, beating until light in color.
Stir in the eg and the applesauce.
Mix together the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.
Add in the raisins and nuts.
Drop by spoonfuls on the cookie sheets and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned.
