stands in opposition to traditional characterizations of language learning, differing both on what constitutes language learning and also on how the process of language learning takes place. Further, it suggests that the primary problems of language learning are not what has usually been assumed. Because the learning algorithms are based on standard concept-learning paradigms ( Bruner, Goodnow, & Austin, 1956), this work suggests that the primary questions that further research should address itself towards are: (1) the representation of meaning and structure in adult-level systems towards which the child is learning; and (2) the question of how children infer the meanings of utterances.

A Two Way Approach to Understanding: Issues in Global Education. Second Edition.
McDaniel, Rick, Comp.; Petrie, Jim, Comp.
By focusing on issues, global education provides students with a better understanding of the country and the world in which they live. The issues approach stresses that global education is a two-way approach to understanding: it is both a way of teaching and a way of learning. This book provides resources for the teacher who has decided to teach development by the issues method. Activities presented range in grade level appropriateness from grade 4-12. An introduction discusses effective global education and development education. Fifty-seven activities focus on differences that exist in wealth and power between nations; assumptions about development; ways in which other cultures are "interpreted;" trading relationships between North and South; poverty and population; refugees and migrants; aid; food; water; literacy; environment; and women. An appendix provides 15 international games. Contains 28 references. (LZ)

Spicy Sausage Dip
PJ Humble
I'm sorry as I don't know who the creator is of this magnificent dip is but for goodness sakes you must try it if you haven't already! If you like really spicy hot, you can use just the hot sausage only, our family prefers it "alittle" milder so I mix hot and reg. If you want to cut the recipe in half, I still use half hot and half reg. really its a preference. I have only 2 boys at home now, myself and my husband and 1/2 batch gets us through one setting, its nice to make a double batch to have the next day or through the weekend as a nice munchy.
1 bag(s)tostitoe scoops
1 tube(s)jimmy dean hot sausage
1 tube(s)jimmy dean regular sausage
2 pkgphiladelphia cream cheese
2 can(s)ro-tel with green chilis
How to Make Spicy Sausage Dip
- You can cook this on the stove or slow cooker. And by experience...1 bag of scoops is NOT enough :) If you use a slow cooker, cook the sausage before you put in in the cooker, turn on high till all ingredients are mixed (stirring occasionally till well blended) then set on low till your ready to eat.

*Not only has" Ugly Betty" actor Michael L. Brea confessed to brutally hacking his mother to death with a ceremonial sword, he tells the New York Daily News that he was "doing the work of God."
As previously reported, Brea was arrested on Tuesday (Nov. 23) and charged with murder after his mother, 55-year-old Yannick Brea, was found stabbed to death at her brownstone apartment in Brooklyn's Prospect Heights.
According to police, Brea performed his fatal blows after screaming out Bible verses and a religious rant.
Neighbors reported that they heard the Haitian-American actor saying, "repent," and another resident said he called 911 after he heard a woman yelling out for help.
In an interview from the prison ward at the Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan, Brea claims voices in his head ordered him to attack his mother with a sword after a "demon" took over her soul.
Recounting the gruesome scene, he tells the New York Daily News, "I didn't kill her. I killed the demon inside her. So be it. It was the work of God."
The 31-year-old claims he heard his mother speaking with a different voice when she summoned him to the kitchen to help her cook chicken.
He recalls, "I looked at these chickens lying dead in the pot and a voice told me it was a sacrifice. It was black magic… She had the voice of a demon. I opened the door with the dagger at my side and the sword.
"I asked, 'Do you believe in God?' She said, 'No, Michael, no' and began screaming. I began slashing her. I didn't want to kill her right away. I wanted to give her time to get right with God."
Residents said they begged police to break into the apartment and put a stop to the violence inside, but for over an hour the NYPD refused to act, even leaving the scene at one point.
Brea, who has had small roles in "Ugly Betty" and "Step Up 3D," told the Daily News: "I was slashing my mom and I heard the police knocking on the door… but I knew they wouldn't open the door and stop me because the spirits were protecting me. I just kept cutting her. No one could stop me. I was doing the work of God."
When cops finally did break in, they saw Yannick Brea dead as a result of multiple gashes to her head, inflicted by a sword which is typically used in Masonic ceremonies. Witness Sydney Clare, one of the many folks to beg police to kick in the door, watched them take Brea away in handcuffs. "He yelled, 'The greatest architect in the universe!' He looked crazy," she said, according to reports.
The sword was reportedly stolen by Brea from a Mason meeting earlier in the week; the greatest architect in the universe is said to be a Masonic term for God.

Parties of Note Offer Unique Opportunities to Support the CSO
The Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestra is well into its 28th season of Parties of Note, a series of themed social gatherings raising money for the Orchestra in unique venues across Greater Cincinnati with delectable food, drinks, presentations or tours, and of course incredible music.
The Parties of Note series runs from September through June, and is presented by the Cincinnati Symphony Volunteer Association (CSVA). The CSVA Parties of Note committee, chaired this season by longtime CSVA member and CSO Board member Nancy Wagner, works year-round to find party venues, connect with hosts and arrange the music. One hundred percent of the proceeds from each party benefit the Orchestra.
Parties of Note are made possible by the generous patrons who open their homes and hearts to create memorable social events. Linda Holthaus, party host and CSVA secretary, has been part of the Parties of Note planning committee since the 2011–12 season.
"Parties of Note are important because they provide yet another venue for our CSO guests and patrons to experience unique events and meet other amazing people who are interested in music, the Symphony and the arts," said Linda Holthaus. "And attending is a way to learn more about the city and its offerings, especially if people have not grown up in the local area."
Since the first season of 32 parties in 1988, Parties of Note has been evolving and garnering more support from the community. In the past, Parties of Note were only in private homes, but over the past few years the events have branched out to local spots around the community with real Cincinnati history. Cheapside Café, The Blind Lemon, New Riff Distillery and The Cincinnati Observatory are just a few of the exciting venues highlighted this season.
Party of Note "Taste of Findlay Market" on March 10, 2016 will offer a new way to experience the food from Findlay Market. CSO musicians will perform at People's Liberty, the newly renovated historic Globe Furniture building across from Findlay Market, while hors d'oeurves and drinks are served.
Another party to discover takes place at Bromwell's Härth Lounge following the CSO's BrahmsFest concert on Jan. 17. Patrons will sip specialty cocktails while discussing Brahms with Music Director Louis Langrée. On Feb. 5, John Harrison and Will Stenger will host "Unwind with Music," which is exactly what the name implies—a Friday night wine tasting with music courtesy of CSO musicians.
To view the full season of Parties of Note and to purchase tickets, visit cincinnatisymphony.org or contact the CSO Box Office at 513.381.3300.

No one wants to smell like Jen
Hollywood actor Jennifer Aniston's signature fragrance is reportedly a flop.entertainment Updated: Jan 01, 2011 01:27 IST
Hollywood actor Jennifer Aniston's signature fragrance is reportedly a flop. Aniston launched her self-titled aroma in British department store Harrods earlier this year but sources claimed the actress has refused to promote the perfume, leading to poor sales.
"Jen chose her perfume. But other than launching it at Harrods in London, she's done no promotion. No one knew where to find it and now everyone's lost interest. They can't figure out why no one wants to smell like Jen," contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying. Aniston previously revealed her perfume comes from her own "personal library" of scents from her younger years in California.
"It really was an exciting process and the only reason I was actually interested in doing it was because of the involvement that they allowed me to have," the actor said, adding, "I wanted this fragrance to be a personal library of scent memories. Growing up in California, I distinctly remember the scent of jasmine on summer evenings. I consider the scent of the ocean to be one of life's most uplifting sensual experiences," she said.

Guest Melissa Senate on Motherhood, Julia Child, and "please can I have a mouse, rat, hamster, or rabbit" made a cook out of me
[Melissa Senate's (The Secret of Joy, The Mosts YA, the rest in Bibliography) latest novel, The Love Goddess' Cooking School, releases in two weeks on October 26, 2010. Another Trending: food book? The answer is yes and no. In today's guest post, the author reveals her inspiration for the book….a pinch of this, a wish of that sifted and stirred into immeasurable love.]
Motherhood, Julia Child, and "please can I have a mouse, rat, hamster or rabbit" made a cook out of me
The epigraph of my new novel, The Love Goddess' Cooking School (pub date: 10/26) comes from Julia Child: "I was thirty-two when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate." I came across this quote by the legendary chef a long time ago and it stuck with me–and gave me hope. Until my son came along when I was thirty-six, I wasn't much of a cook 1) because anything I did attempt to make came out awful and b) because it was "just me." My typical dinner in those "just me" days? A knish with a squirt of mustard from a street vendor on the way home from work. A bowl of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios in cold milk. If I made anything in my tiny kitchen in my Manhattan studio apartment, it was an omelet. Any other attempts: #foodfail. I love food, all kinds, all ethnicities, particularly Mexican and Indian and Italian, but even my how-can-you-mess up chicken and cheese quesadillas were something not to behold—or eat. Pasta, no matter how simple the recipe, was always overcooked or undercooked. And my ambitious attempts at my beloved chana masala? Inedible.
So I was happy enough with my knishes and omelets and ate out a lot. But when my dear son Max was born, I knew I had six months to get my act together (in that lovely space when babies eat liquid food only). I bought How To Cook Everything by Mark Bittman and learned how to make the basics. My toddler food—from chicken fingers to meatloaf—wasn't half bad. By the time Max was two and we moved to Maine, to a kitchen that you could actually turn around in, Max began asking to cook with me. Cracking the eggs for scrambled eggs and brownies. Laying chicken cutlets in breadcrumbs. The concentration on his little face, his happiness at being with me in the kitchen, and his pride at not sloshing eggs out of the bowl made me realize what had been missing from my time in the kitchen all those years: a sense of fun, of caring deeply what I was doing, of wonder at the very process of cooking. Before I began cooking with my son, cooking was about the end result. Now it was about much more.
A few days before his sixth birthday, Max was cracking eggs into a bowl for his beloved bacon frittatas, and as he began working on his gentle beating technique, he said into the bowl: "Please let Mommy say yes to getting me a mouse, rat, hamster or rabbit for my birthday." Beat, beat. "Please, please, please. I really want a rat but I'll take any of them." Then he added in the pinch of salt and made his wish again.
And the idea for The Love Goddess' Cooking School, about a neophyte chef whose cooking class, with its special recipes that call for adding wishes and memories into every pot and pan, changes the lives of its teacher and students, was born. Right in my very own Tuscan-inspired kitchen in a small town in Maine.
P.S. Max did get his wish, two little fancy pet rats he named Jeffrey and Timmy.

The Pregnancy Help Center of Lufkin is not an adoption agency. However, we completely support this as a positive option for you and your baby. Adoption is a selfless choice that takes a lot of courage and a big heart. Adoption can be a fresh start for everyone. Women who choose adoption love their babies and want them to have loving homes and bright futures. It takes a lot of courage and a big heart. Adoption is your chance to be a hero.
When considering adoption, it is common and expected for women and men to ask a lot of questions. Below are few of the most commonly asked questions about adoption.
- How can adoption be good for my baby and me?
- How much contact can I have with my baby after birth and after adoption?
- Can my child find me if he or she wants to search someday?
- How can I be sure my child will be well cared for?
- Do I need an attorney or do I pay my agency to assist me with the adoption?
These questions can be answered by speaking with one of our mentors or by reading the enclosed booklet 10 Questions Most Birthmothers Ask About Adoption, Bethany Christian Services 2003.
While the Pregnancy Help Center can not assist you in making an actual adoption, our mentors can walk you through the initial investigative process to find out if adoption is right for you. We work closely with several adoption agencies but encourage you to find the one that best meets your personal needs.
Below is a listing of some of the agencies for you to consider. Please take the time to contact each of these agencies and ask a lot of questions before making a decision on Adoption.

Dance your way to better health
Who said exercise had to be at the gym? Here are some fun ways to get active without even noticing it.
The joy of dancing is that it's good exercise, but so much fun that you won't even notice you're getting fit… Much better than trying to jog around the block! Dancing is, at heart, both art and sport. If you've been tempted to pull some moves like you've seen on TV's Strictly Come Dancing and So You Think You Can Dance, but haven't managed to make the move from the couch to the dance floor, this is the year to do it!
Why dancing is good for you
What many people don't realise is that dancing has a number of health benefits. Dance is a full mind and body workout that burns calories and lowers your heart rate, blood pressure and cholesterol. As with all kinds of exercise, dancing makes the body more sensitive to insulin, which means the insulin works better in your system. Because dancing is a weight-bearing activity, where the body works against gravity, it can also help strengthen bones, improve balance, posture and coordination. Dancing offers the opportunity to socialise and make friends, and moving your feet to a good tune can be a real pick-me-up. Apart from reducing stress, the biggest benefit of dancing is that it is fun (lots of fun!)
How to get involved
Whether you like to jive, tap, or tango, shake your belly or let yourself go to the beat, there's a style of dancing that's right for you. Different types of dance include ballroom, ballet, nia, afro-fusion, hip-hop and free dance, among others. The first step is to have a plan. Ask yourself what style of dance you think you might enjoy – do you like something more formal, or free? Then, consider how much time you can spare in your week, how fit you are and if you have any pre-existing injuries.
Once you know what you want, it's time to find it! Check community noticeboards and local gyms to find out when and where classes or events are being held, and invite a friend to go with you if you feel too shy to go to the first class on your own. Convinced you have two left feet? Take lessons. Most dance studios hold beginners' courses and welcome people with disabilities. Learning a new skill can be a real confidence booster and if you start now, you'll definitely have new skills to show off at your end-of-year Christmas party!
What to wear
Wear comfortable clothing that gives you freedom of movement and shoes that fit the dance form. Some classes, like ballet, tap or jazz, might need special footwear depending on your level. Avoid wearing jewellery, as earrings, rings and necklaces can scratch you or get caught in clothing. Most importantly? Wear a smile.
How to warm up
Remember that because dancing isn't the same movements that you do in daily life, you need to warm the body up and treat the dance hour like an exercise session, with a warm-up, movement preparation, dance, and cool down. Once you've done your warm-up and you understand the main demands of the type of dance you're doing, you can let your body go and enjoy.
Ask the expert: Sarah Hall, Biokineticist
Here's how to warm up for each of these dance styles:
Ballroom: A large focus of ballroom is technique and posture, so you need to ensure that in your warm-up you help lengthen your spine. The goal is to engage your neck, shoulder blades and core muscles, so that you reduce strain and tension from this form of dancing.
Nia: This dance is about moving with balance, without too much effort. It is a combination of yoga, modern dance, jazz and tai chi. A whole body warm-up with deep breathing would be best here.
Ballet: Although rhythmic and seemingly calm, ballet is one of the most demanding kinds of dance. Muscle endurance, power and strength, as well as flexibility of joints, are all required. Before starting ballet classes, it's a good idea to try a few one-on-one classes or test out the poses so you know how far you can move.
Hip-Hop: This is an extremely physical but hugely enjoyable dance form. Hip-hop uses movements that require strength and balance to control your body weight. Body weight exercises that prepare the body for this challenge, like dips, push-ups, sit-ups, lunges and squats, would be great to include in your warm-up. It's also a good idea to strengthen and protect the spine because it's such a high impact form of dance.
Free dance: Spontaneous and with no choreography, free dance has no rules and boundaries. So it's important to combine the tips of all the types of dance above and ensure that you follow the structure from the warm-up to the cool down.
Ask the expert: Fiona Prins, Diabetes Educator
"Being active helps control blood sugar levels, so when you have diabetes it's really important to exercise. As a rule, aim for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Regular physical activity will help keep your weight down, reduce blood pressure, raise good cholesterol (HDL) and lower bad cholesterol (LDL) in the bloodstream. Other benefits of exercise include being able to sleep better and better health in general."
The daily sweat
Getting active every day can feel like a bit too much to ask for… Which is why Cindy Tilney's asked the experts to give us easy ways to keep fit – no matter how old you are!
We all know exercise is good for us, but exercising to the max – especially in later life – can be too much of a good thing. It's essential not to stress the body by exercising too hard, says Professor Wayne Derman, the Director of the U-Turn Chronic Disease Lifestyle Rehabilitation Programme based at the UCT Sports Science Institute of South Africa. "When planning an exercise routine, it's important to consider any medical condition you might have, as well as any medication you're taking and how it may affect you while exercising," says Prof. Derman.
Older age also comes with a bigger chance of aches and pains because of problems like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis – if these names ring a bell, it's a good idea to be more careful about the kind of exercise you choose, and to consult a medical professional (a biokineticist, physiotherapist or sports physician) when planning an exercise routine. Be sure to check if any medications you are on will interfere with this routine, reminds Prof. Derman.
Be informed
"It's essential to go for a health check and orthopaedic assessment before starting any exercise programme," says biokineticist, Sarah Hall.
Get checked for:
- Cardiac weakness
- Any existing injuries
- High blood pressure
- Ischaemia (restriction in blood supply)
- Uncontrolled diabetes
Also be aware that falls are more likely if your balance isn't what it used to be.
Warning signs:
The right kind of exercise has benefits for every chronic condition, says Prof. Derman. But watch out for:
- Feeling breathless to the point that you can't talk when exercising
- Any pain.
"The saying 'no pain no gain' is not true," he says. "Your body should be in a state of relative comfort while exercising."
So what should you do?
It's important to include all of these steps in an optimal exercise programme, as they all have different functions, say Derman and Hall. These include:
- The warm up: This involves stretching and preparing your body for exercise.
- Flexibility training/stretching: This focuses on increasing the range of motion of the joints and stretching the body to release tension in the major muscle groups – calves, quads, glutes, hamstrings, back, chest and arms.
- The aerobic phase: Involves movement of the large muscle groups to increase the heart rate. It can be walking, jogging, cycling, aqua aerobics or rowing, for example.
- Muscle strength resistance training: Using elastic bands or circuit training to make muscles stronger. This is particularly important for people with diabetes, as it can help the muscles involved in the absorption of insulin to become more sensitive, which helps blood sugar control.
- Stability training: Exercises like plank position that help balance and core stability.
- The cool down: This involves stretching and relaxation to allow the heart rate to go back to normal and the body to return to a resting state.
Remember: The goal is to exercise 20 to 30 minutes on most days of the week.
3 Top tips for people with diabetes:
- Don't begin exercising if your blood sugar is either too high or too low (over 16 or below 4.8).
- If you are using insulin, always take something sweet with you when you exercise, in case of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).
- Avoid injecting into large muscle groups just before exercising.
What kind of exercise is best for older people with diabetes?
We asked biokineticist Sarah Hall to give us a sample exercise routine. Here's what she said:
Warm up: 5-10 minute brisk walk
Stretch: Standing calf and quad stretch, chest, shoulder and bicep stretch, lying down hamstring stretch and cat stretch for the back
Aerobic: Step for 2 minutes
Muscle strength: Like bicep curls, wall push-ups and abdominal crunches (sit-ups)
Aerobic: Walk or jog on the spot for 2 minutes
Stability: Plank position

Posted On By Celestrata Bloodsong News & Announcements Comments Off on Grab Lunarite from the Golden Trees: April 19 – May 1
Pick up a pile of loot if you're diligent enough to harvest some fruit! Raise your own Golden Trees from April 19 after maintenance to May 2 at 2:00 AM UTC (May 1, 7:00 PM PDT).
To get started with this limited time event head on over to Mirage Isle and meet with the Branch Manager. There you can pick up a Golden Aura Sapling once per day, which can be planted in private or public land, but not in public farms. If planted in public land, the Golden Aura Sapling can be uprooted by anyone, but only the owner can pick fruit from it.
Once planted, the tree will grow Golden Fruit in 10 minutes. Pick that fruit to start another fruit maturing in another 10 minutes, and then finally the third fruit will mature in 20 minutes. Golden Tree Fruit can only be used by characters who are level 50 or higher.
Fruit costs 50 labor to open, but it can offer a variety of Lunarite, Bound Weapon, Armor, or Accessory Regrade Scrolls. If you don't get one of those prizes, the Fruit will at least give you a Worker's Compensation: 50 labor potion to get your labor back.
If you can harvest all 3 fruit in a day, the tree will give you an extra piece of currency as a reward: a Golden Petal. These petals can be exchanged in Mirage Isle next to the Branch Manager, and can reward you with the following packages:
- A pack with a Golden Aura Pot housing item and a Golden Apple for 5 petals.
- A pack with a Golden Aura Flowerbed housing item and a Golden Apple for 5 petals.
- The ultimate pack with 2 Golden Aura Pots, 1 Golden Aura Flowerbed, and 2 Golden Apples for 14 petals.
So if you've been itching for Lunarite, don't miss out on this event, and get started this Wednesday!
Discuss this in the forums!

SONORUS is an Initial Training Network (ITN, Nr. 290110, duration 1/10 2012 30/9 2016) in the 7th framework programme People of the EC. The coordinator of the project is Chalmers University of Technology. Within this project we are seeking 14 young researchers (early‐ stage researcher, ESR) with a duration of 36 month to join the different partners in the project.
Project Background
Traffic noise pollution in urban areas is a major environmental problem within the European Union. Creating an acceptable acoustic outdoor environment is a big challenge of high need. Creating as well as preserving environments, which are supportive for health and well-being in a sustainable manner is an even bigger but unavoidable task. In order to succeed, specialists are required with a broad research competence covering areas such as acoustic prediction methods, noise control and soundscaping, but also aspects of city and traffic planning. However, specialists equipped with such a competence spectrum are hardly found.
Therefore, the goal of SONORUS is to close this gap and bring together universities, enterprises and public organizations that aim to offer training to ESRs in an arena of trans-disciplinary research. The training is designed around real-life urban test sites that are characterized by a poor acoustic environment due to noise from road, rail or air traffic. These test sites are provided by four major European cities (Berlin, Rome, Antwerpen and Brighton). To these test sites, the ESRs will apply their knowledge and skills gained from individual acoustics related research projects, in-depth courses on acoustics as well as on different aspects of spatial planning.

I was really looking forward to this film as I really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings films, and have enjoyed the books for longer. I have to say I have been getting slightly agitated after waiting 5 years to see this film, and have been getting more excited in the build up to the release date (13/12/12 which is today). I went to see this film in 2D as I'm not an overall big fan of 3D, only liking certain films, and I'd read in another review that the 3D kind of spoiled the film in bits.
PlotSPOILER FREE
This film is the first of three that are an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's book of the same name. Bilbo Baggins tells his tale and how he was persuaded to join Gandalf, and 13 Dwarves on a journey to Dwarves former home, the Lonely Mountain, to reclaim it, and the treasure within from the dragon Smaug.
This was a good film, and well worth the wait. Peter Jackson has duplicated the brilliant job he did of bringing Middle-Earth to life like he did in Lord of the Rings, whilst making this a very unique movie. Although set in the same world as Lord of the Rings, this film has a totally different tone. Lord of the Rings was a lot more serious, as the characters were fighting to save Middle-Earth, whereas in this film they are only looking to reclaim the Dwarves homeland. Although this isn't an easy task, it's not as demanding as Frodo Baggins journey was to destroy the one ring, giving more room for the characters to have fun, and be less serious. This film also had plenty of action, and comedy, as well as brilliant cameo appearances. I also liked how the soundtrack was both the same, and different to Lord of the Rings, at the same time, as it had the same scores but played in a different tone.
The cast in this film was brilliant, and probably the best thing about the film. I originally had a few concerns about the casting choices but after seeing this I'm very happy. The two main choices I was concerned about was Martin Freeman as Bilbo, and Richard Armitage as Thorin. I have liked both if them in previous things, Freeman as John Watson in Sherlock, and Armitage as Guy Of Gisbourne in the Robin Hood TV series, but didn't think they'd suit these roles. Boy was I wrong, Freeman did a brilliant job as Bilbo giving both comedy, as well as a great dramatic performance, and Armitage suited the role of Thorin, and showed the serious, and moodiness characteristics of the character. Freeman also showed both the drive for adventure that comes from the Took side of his family, as well as the cautiousness, and timidness that has built up in him being a Bagins perfectly. I wasn't too sure if I liked the lack of beard on Thorin, as being the leader of the Dwarves I'd have expected a bigger beard. I was however happy with the shorter beard in the finish, as I don't think Armitage would have suited a longer beard, plus it shows his expressions a lot clearer. Other actors like Barry Humphries as the Goblin King, Sylvester McCoy as Radagast the Brown, James Nesbitt as Bofur, Aidan Turner as Kíli were also brilliant choices, and the return of Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, Hugo Weaving as Elrond, and Christopher Lee as Saruman was also nice.
There was ton's of fun in this film, and I loved how the Dwarves were adapted from the book to big screen. You could see the different emotions in each dwarf easily, and I loved how in a bunch of jolly people there is one that is very serious, in this case there leader Thorin. Out of the Dwarves, I especially liked Thorin, and felt that he probably changed the most throughout this film. He's a very serious person, who wants nothing more than to reclaim his homeland. He's a good leader, and a courageous warrior, and it is shown in this film. He also feels that Bilbo is a burden, and that he is holding the group back, and I love how Bilbo perseveres and does everything he can to prove that he belongs in this group. I also like how Thorin hates Elves, and after it is shown why, you can see why Gimli was reluctant to trust Legolas in the Lord of the Rings films.
I also loved how many characters from the Lord of the Rings returned for this film, and although they were in the book anyway it's nice to see them anyway. Seeing, Galadiel, Elrond, and Saruman again was nice, and the scene between them was brilliant. The scene was very dramatic and I loved how Galadriel spoke to Gandalf telepathically, and how she was kind of happy with what Gandalf wanted to do. It was also nice to see Saruman before he went evil, as throughout the Lord of the Rings films he is nothing but. I also liked that due to the film starting with an older Bilbo (played by Ian Holm, who played him in the Lord of the Rings films) we got an appearance from Frodo Baggins (the main character from Lord of the Rings) which was very nice. I will also be looking forward to any future cameo appearances, mainly Legolas', who's the only remaining character that has been conformed as making an appearance during these films.
The first scene after the story starts is where Bilbo is visited by Gandalf, and asked to join him on an adventure. When Bilbo refuses Gandalf marks his door so as the Dwarves would know where to meet him. The Dwarves then come in various number, starting with just one, to a confused Bilbo who doesn't know why his house is getting filled by Dwaves. Finally Gandalf arrives with the remaining Dwarves, apart from Thorin, and Bilbo realises that Gandalf has set this all up. This scene was hilarious, and I love how Bilbo was befuddled as to why all these people were in his house and eating his food. It was also nice how we saw the mentality of the Dwarves in this scene, and how they aren't very polite, love their food, and are constantly jolly.
I was also happy when I heard that Gollum would make an appearance in this film, as I loved him in both the book, and the Lord of the Rings films. It was also nice to see how Bilbo got the ring and that Gollum has had his split personality for over a long time. Andy Serkis does another marvellous job at portraying this confused, and deranged character. I do however feel that he was able to show the different sides of Gollum a lot better in this film, as we see him all happy and jolly one minute, psychopathic the next minute, and a bit of both in between. It was also interesting seeing how Bilbo reacted to this creature, and it was fun to see the two play a game of riddles, where if Bilbo won, Gollum would show him the way out, and if Gollum won he would eat Bilbo.
The Goblin King was also in this film, and I was looking forward to seeing how he'd be adapted for the big screen, as the character was brilliant in the book, and had some interesting scenes. Going into the film I didn't know what to expect, besides what I envisioned he'd look like, whilst reading the book, as I avoided images of the film so I didn't spoil anything. When I saw him in the film I was both surprised, and pleased. He was big like in the book, but he was very bloated, and had a sagging chin. I personally thought this was interesting, and it defiantly made him look more gruesome. I also liked how he dwarfed even Gandalf, like he should, and how he also added a bit of humour, whilst adding gore.
Final Verdict
A very good film, and anyone who is a fan of the book, or Lord of the Rings will love it. I would highly recommend it but am a little sad that I will have to wait a year to see the next part, and a further ha;f year to finish it.

Tour de Fleece 2012
I've been busy with 'other things' over the last couple of weeks, so am barely getting to participate in this years' Tour de Fleece; so far I have only been able to put in about 20 mins a day at most. I've been working away at this Grey Massam fibre from World of Wool, spinning a fairly fine single, fairly tightly. It is slightly rough to touch - well, rougher than merino - but drafts surprisingly smoothly considering the texture. It also smells wonderful; my old favourite 'sheepy without the poo'.
I've had a bit of a wander through the fibre stash, to try decide what to spin next. Top contenders are jacob tops (humbug & grey colours), a fabulous sparkley batt (blue) or some hand-dyed tops from LHogan (pink). Think I'll choose the fibre based on a specific finished knit object. Time to hit the ravelry-queue for inspiration!

I've gone on record on this blog and in the world-renowned Fasterskier podcasts as being emphatically in favor of pursuit-style races, and Sunday's freestyle pursuits at Kuusamo only reinforce my support. (Pursuit-start races will occur at least four more times during this World Cup season: three times during the Tour de Ski and once during the Finale in Falun.)

"Ruka Triple" Pt. II
Friday's sprint races were as usual pretty interesting. The venue is picture-perfect (though a bit cold, judging by the full-head buffs that pretty much everyone wore), and the tracks are simple and brutal, with the last steep uphill leading into a nasty left-hand corner that seemed to affect at least a couple skiers in every heat. The surprises for me were, first, Charlotte Kalla being a factor in a classic final (even with Saarinen absent and Kowalczyk disqualified, this is notable); second, the presence in the finals of Madoka Natsumi; and third, the 13th-place finish of the Chinese skier Qinghai Sun (fluke or challenge?).

Kuusamo "Ruka Triple"
This weekend, the fabled Ruka ski center near Kuusamo, Finland, will host a new(ish) event on the World Cup circuit: a "mini-tour" comprising a classic sprint on Friday, a classic 5/10k individual start on Saturday, and a freestyle 10/15k pursuit on Sunday, all linked in such a way that finishes in one event determine starts in the next, and the first racers over the line on Sunday will win the whole event.

Who Wins Relays? (Part I: Women)
The 4x5 and 4x10 relays are the only direct tests of national teams. Apart from including only half as many skiers (and only one technique), team sprints require skills too specialized to make them true tests of an entire team's fitness - and a distance race that features team tactics is a rare event. Not for nothing, then, are the men's and women's relays viewed as the best opportunities to see which country has the best all-round squad.
- 2005-2006: two World Cup races and the Torino Olympics
- 2006-2007: three World Cups and the Sapporo Worlds
- 2008-2009: two World Cups and the Liberec Worlds
- 2009-2010: just one World Cup before the Vancouver Olympics
- 2010-2011: three World Cups - at Gällivare, La Clusaz, and Rybinsk - before the Oslo Worlds

Bibs and Boards (Gällivare Edition)
I was struck, this summer, by the way that the FIS's updates accented news about sponsors. Granted, there wasn't much racing to comment upon (rollerski world cup, anyone?), but I was still interested in press releases like this:
FIS Marketing AG, in close cooperation with FIS and its member National Ski Associations, is proud to present a new marketing concept for the FIS Cross-Country World Cup beginning with the upcoming 2010/2011 competition season.Whatever that might mean, it probably means that money makes the cross-country ski world go 'round, and it surely means trackside boards like this:
The most significant elements of the new concept are a streamlined sponsorship model with just five main sponsors - 1 presenting sponsor and 4 main sponsors - internationally to create a consistent look and feel for the FIS Cross-Country World Cup. This approach is poised to improve the presentation of all partners and increase the visibility of their brands while enhancing the level of exclusivity for each.
And of course it means bibs like this in the women's relay
So what exactly are LKAB and Boliden? Glad you asked - since their dollars (err, kronor) helped make the racing at Gällivare happen, from the grooming to the prize money.
LKAB describes itself as "an international high-tech minerals group" - a mining company. LKAB has always been based in Sweden's iron fields, which are located around Gällivare. In other words, they're homers. Good on them! I'm only disappointed that nobody calls Hellner the "LKAB Man." I'm sure it'd trip off the tongue in Swedish.
Boliden, on the other hand, is a totally different kind of company - a zinc and copper mining company based in central Sweden, not an iron-mining concern based in Lapland. Sorta: they have a giant open-pit copper mine near Gällivare. It must have been into this pit that Kowalcyzk fell during the skate race last Saturday.

Relaying the Favorites
After the traditional first-weekend relays go off tomorrow in Gällivare, I'm going to do some analysis - not quite Statistical Skier-level analysis, but analysis nonetheless - of how early-season relays may (or may not) indicate outcomes of the big relays later on - World Championships and Olympics. For now, though, I'll follow up my so-so predictions for the Gällivare individual races* with these predictions for the relays:
women's 4x5k
1. Norway I (Bjørgen, Bjørgen, Bjørgen)
2. Sweden (Kalla will pull them back up the field)
3. Norway II, or maybe Germany if they can find some legs
USA: top 10 (out of 21 teams on the start list)
men's 4x10k
1. Sweden (Hellner on anchor + no Northug = handy win)
2. Russia I (Sedov looks like a great complement to Vylegzhanin and Legkov)
3. Norway I (Jesperson and Rothe look pretty decent - and the latter's skied on a winning WC relay before)
* Pick Analysis of the Individual Races
Women: I picked Kalla to win, but she came second to Bjørgen, whom I had in third. Kowalcyzk, my pick for second, finished something like millionth. I did see Kikkan in the top 30, and she finished 19th - a great early-season spot.
Men: I correctly saw Hellner winning, but I just couldn't believe Cologna would do well. He did, finishing second just ahead of Daniel Rickardsson. My third-place prediction, Legkov, finished a bit further down, in a respectable 6th. On the other hand, my pick for second, Manificat, finished in Kowalczykian style in 17th. And while the Canadaians had a forgettable day on the tracks, Kris Freeman turned in an excellent 9th place. Not too shabby.

Yay Yay Yay for Gällivare
Finally, the World Cup is back. No more (okay, much less) reading about training plans and coaching changes and all that frippery. Now we can focus on the racing - and of course, talking at some length about the racing, as Colin and I do on our podcast over at Fasterskier.

In Early February we went on a shoot to Ghana, West Africa with our clients, the Canadian Hunger Foundation a Canadian international development organization.
During this sojourn, we gave a two day workshop to some members of both the Canadians and their Ghanaian partners.
The purpose of the workshop was to teach basic to advanced methods of video documentation and creative techniques to develop a quality product for their future projects.
During each section of the course, members were encouraged to ask questions with regards to their production concerns.
Eureka moments
Throughout the course we could see or even hear the Eureka moments in which they started to grasp and understand the important concepts they had previously not known or understood. This, from a personal point of view, is very rewarding!
The range of topics we taught them were theoretical, such as shot composition and shooting in preparation for editing, to the more technical aspects such as proper equipment usage and maintenance.
Learning Camera or Equipment Quirks
On the second day of the workshop, we went over their equipment and used our years of experience to help them figure out all the quirks of their cameras.
We also made recommendations on which equipment they should be obtaining based on their current financial resources. They were a very enthusiastic group of people who had a lot of fun learning and walked away excited to tackle their next projects.

Margot Robbie talks "pretty impressive" Jared Leto Joker on Suicide Squad
Taking on the mantle of The Joker is no small feat and a role that has left some incredible performances on the table within the Batman franchise. His next big-screen venture comes not in a Batman film, but an anti-hero superhero flick, this time portrayed by Jared Leto. Director David Ayer's SUICIDE SQUAD will see the return of the "clown prince of crime" as well as his crazy counterpart, Harley Quinn, as played by Margot Robbie, who will be the first big-screen incarnation of the character. Leto's on-set "in-character" antics have been well documented, as has his penchant for staying in character throughout the shoot and Robbie tells NY Daily News that it's "pretty impressive" and that "what he's doing with the character is so cool."
Robbie goes on to talk about her initial reaction to Leto in character, saying: "At first it was kind of confronting (to be up close) but now I'm so used to it, I think if I ever saw him out of makeup now I would be really confused."
She goes on to say that seeing him out of make-up left her "petrified" of him and that she was "too scared to go up and didn't know who that person was, and when he got back into his makeup I was far more comfortable."
Judging by the teases we've seen and with most folks cooling off over his non-standard appearance, Leto's performance is anticipated to be something special, although it's hard to say with any certainty just yet. Robbie elaborates on the overall dynamic of the ensemble SUICIDE SQUAD team, saying:
"I guess the one common denominator is we're all bad guys, it just makes everything more fun that way. The scenes are more interesting I feel, when you just don't know how the characters are going to react, especially with Harley, who's absolutely nuts… she's either going to kill you or laugh and give you a hug."
Pretty cool stuff. I can't say I'm more or less excited for SUICIDE SQUAD over BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, but can say that I'm equally excited to see them both, especially given their interconnectivity; it feels like they're part of a larger sum (which I'm guessing is the point) and I'm genuinely excited to see the DC cinematic universe kick off with a bang, especially with a new Joker and first-ever Harley Quinn in the mix. It's a great time to be a comic fan, that's for sure.
SUICIDE SQUAD hits theaters on August 5, 2015 (Just under a year!) and BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE lands on March 25, 2016.

Hello. So one of my favorite styles of music to listen to is 20th Century classical, ie Bela Bartok, Stravinsky, Mario Cesa, etc. One of the tools the use is the 12-tone system of arrangement, which, well just isn't catchy at all. Yet I love the sound! I've been searching for instruction and technique for 12-tone serialism and I understand it but I don't know how people remember how to play it. There's no hook, no verse or chorus to relate it's just an orgy of notes flying all over the place. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any pointers on how to memorize this type of music? If I'm consigned to just listening to it, I'll be fine but I wouldn't mind flavoring my own music with it either. Thanks.
ps - I found this too...

I had a band a long time ago (Artifex) where we used to play some atonal music.
I try to get away for this kind of stuff now though, and only use chromatic/atonal elements as tension builders. If there is no tonal center, then it is hard to deviate from it.
If you like listening to this kind of music, you should be able to write music in this genre as well.
I guess a more simplistic approach to twelve-tone serialism, would be to think of scales just as random symmetrical shapes that you come up with yourself. Do this as a starting point and see which ones you like the sound of. And maybe start composing an arrangement based on some symmetrical/atonal ideas - and see if you can take it from there.
Let's see if someone else can chime in - I am not the right guy to give you advice here. Though I must say I am fascinated by the phenomenon

Orchestral players who perform 20th cent modern classical are 'ace' music readers.
In general, they don't memorize the pieces in their entirety. They memorize parts, sections, difficult phrases but 99% of the time have the music in front of them so that they know where they are. If they are in a contemporary ensemble and focus on performing that repertoire then they will of course eventually memorize the pieces that get played the most.
A lot of prog bands and jazz fusion groups incorporate 12-tone elements into their music. King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Utopia, Soft Machine, Alan Holdsworth, ELP and Weather Report to name a few. Also many avante garde jazzers utilize serial techniques. Anthony Braxton would be a prime example.

How does 'study abroad' work?
The university of Paderborn offers several possibilities to study abroad at abroad partner universities and partner colleges. You may read up on offers in the International Office (IO) or the delegates for studies abroad in our departments Mrs Domik (Computer Science) or Mr Hilgert (Mathematics).
Once every year in several phases the IO publishes ads for every region for the following academic year. You may apply for these ads. To find out about the detailed process, please contact the IO or visit their weekly consultation hours. On the Internations Office's homepage you will find numerous field reports from former participants.
What is the minor study field for?
All students of computer science and mathematics have to choose a minor study field. The minor study field should wide your general knowledge. This should ease later integration into professional life. For example the minor study field electrical engineering may teach you basic knowledge to ease your later collective work.
From what minor study fields may I choose with my major in mathematics?
Information on common minor study fields for the major mathematics you may find here.
From what minor study fields may I choose with my major in computer science?
The variety for common minor study fields with major in computer science depends on the exact examination regulations. You can find them here. Non-common minor study fields need to be approved by the examination committee.
What to do, if want a non-common minor study field?
Generally you may choose every subject for you minor study field, that has a sufficient amount of lectures and seminars at the university of Paderborn and that has a clear connection to your major field. Your justified request has to be approved by the examination committee. However, if you choose a non-common minor study field, you have to expect timing overlaps with your major field lectures. In our office you can read a few approved minor study field request.
When do I have to decide for a minor study field?
Your minor study field counts as officially valid when you take your first minor field exam (however there are exceptions). Generally you have the possibility to try your minor study field out to check if you like it. In the mathematics course the minor field should be started in your semester. In the computer science course you should start your minor field in the third semester with exception of the minor field mathematics, where there are already lectures in the first semester.
Am I able to switch my minor study field?
With mathematics or cpmputer science as your major field you are able to switch your minor field once. After that you are not able to switch it anymore. Lectures of your new minor field have to be caught up.
What do the different types of seminars mean and which of them do I have to take?
In general there are three types of seminars:
- The proseminar is the simplest type of seminars. The focus lies on independent development and presentation of specific topics, as well as writing a scientific paper. Computer science: one proseminar in the second part of the bachelor course. Mathematics: one proseminar in the basic studies. Technical mathematics: no proseminar.
- The seminar is addressed to advanced students. The focus lies less on procedure than on topics. Computer science: at least one, at most two seminars in the master course. Mathematics: two seminars in the advanced studies. Technical mathematics: one seminar in the advanced studies.
- The advanced seminar (Oberseminar) is addressed to all interested students. Commonly theses and degrees are presented here. Additionally guest lecturers and assistants hold talks about the current state of research. Even if there are no certificates for this activity, you may learn about many things.
What is the regular study duration for my course?
Teaching courses and diploma studies have a regular study period of 9 semesters. The new bachelor and master courses have a summed up regular study duration of 10 semesters. The bachelor course has a regular study duration of 6 semesters and the master course has a regular study duration of 4 semesters. Therefore, there is the possibility to finish university after 6 semester with a bachelor degree.
However, you should not misinterpret the term "regular study duration". There is the joke, the regular study duration is "the duration one regulary does not finish". The term actually only describes the longest period one may receive national student loan (BAföG). The average duration of studies depends on the subject and lies between 11 and 14 semesters.
What does my regular course program look like?
That's a tough question, because this depends on your course of studies, semester, examination regulations and passed lectures. The best way is to check your examination regulations and example or regular course programs:
Consultation is given by Mr Ernst (D1.243) for diploma degree in mathematics and technical mathematics, by Mr Szwillus for computer science and computer science for engineers, Mr Ernst also for teaching degrees for secondary schools in mathematics and Mr Magenheim for teaching degrees for secondary schools in computer science. Of course you also may visit us in our office (E1.311) and ask for help. We do not know every little detail of every course, but we might find out who can help you.
Do I have to explicitly register for exams?
Generally you have to register for exams in PAUL. If the registration is not possible, you might register by form in your respective examination office.
Prüfungssekeratariat Mathematik C 2.326
Prüfungssekretariat Informatik C 2.332
Pay attention to the registration periods! Registration periods will be published by your registration office and announced in your lecture.
Wie komme ich an meine Prüfungsordnung (PO) ran und wie finde ich heraus, welche für mich gültig ist?
Mathematiker schauen bitte hier.
Technomathematiker schauen bitte hier.
Informatiker schauen bitte hier.
Wie entstehen Prüfungsordnungen? Wer entwirft sie?
Der Fakultätsrat (FR) setzt für ein jeweiliges Fach einen so genannten Prüfungsausschuss (PA) ein. Dieser erstellt nach Rahmenordnungen des Landes bei Bedarf Ergänzungen zu bestehenden beziehungsweise komplett neu Studien- und Prüfungsordnungen.
Bachelor- und Masterstudiengänge müssen außerdem akkredietiert werden. Was eine Akkreditierung ist und wie sie abläuft könnt ihr hier nachlesen.
Wer ist für die Anerkennung von Prüfungsleistungen zuständig?
Für die Anerkennung von Leistungen sind die jeweiligen Vorsitzenden der Prüfungsausschüsse (PAs) zuständig.
Prüfungsausschuss Technomathematik
Wer erkennt mein Praktikum an?
Einen Praktikumsschein, den man dann beim Prüfungssekretariat einreichen kann erhält man nach Abschluss des Praktikums beim Praktikumsbeauftragten (zur Zeit: Prof. Engels).
Wo finde ich Informationen über die Vorkurse?
Informationen zu Vorkursen der Mathematik findet ihr hier.

August Holiday Program / Day3/4/5
Wednesday was the third day of our Holiday Program and as I am with Grade 6, I accompanied them on an excursion to Gandhi House
The history of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi inspired our children, to a point where I sat in amazement just listening to them talk about their experiences at the museum.
The next two days were full of fun activities and there are some more photographs below.
The biggest highlight for the kids was the trip to SCIBONO, the Science Museum!
Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Linn after the Holiday Program. We are exhausted now, and have made our way to Kenya, my next post will be about our camping trip through Kenya and Tanzania. Stay tuned.
Smile. BJ

Do you want to analyze your biosimilars for process related impurities / HCPs?
FDA requirements include that for biosimilars, process related impurities "should be identified, characterized as appropriate, quantified, and compared with multiple lots of the proposed product to multiple lots of the reference products".
For this purpose, we have developed a sensitive HCP analysis for mapping process related impurities. Based on mass spectrometry SWATH technology, the method is ideal for identification and quantification of host cell proteins down to the low ppm concentrations.
What is SWATH? >>
Current status for the Host Cell Protein assay:
- Individual HCP quantification down to 10 ppm
- Identification of single HCP < 1 ppm
- Assay setup 4-6 weeks
- Sample analysis 1-2 weeks
- Applicable for all types of expression systems – CHO, E.coli, HEK cells etc.
- All types of biologics incl. mAb, ADC, vaccines, small/large proteins …
Don't risk your biosimilar project. Let us help you with an objective comparison of HCP in multiple lots of biosimilar and originator.
