A new kind of glass pane containing liquid
crystal droplets can guide and manipulate beams of light.
by Patrick L. Barry
The Information Age
rides on beams of carefully controlled light. Because lasers form
the arteries of modern communications networks, dexterous manipulation
of light underpins the two definitive technologies of our times:
telecommunications and the Internet.
Now researchers at Harvard University have developed a new way of
steering and manipulating light beams.
Using droplets of liquid
crystals - the same substance in laptop displays - the scientists
can make a pane of glass that quickly switches from transparent
to diffracting and back again. When the pane is transparent a laser
beam passes straight through, but when the pane is diffracting,
it splits the beam, bending it in several new directions.
The change is triggered
by applying an electric field, so the pane could easily be controlled
by the electric signals of a computer, offering a powerful new way
to steer beams of light.
could be one application, but at this point we're still looking
at the basic properties of these droplets. Their potential is great,
and it's hard to imagine all the ways engineers might use them,"
says David Weitz, Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics at Harvard
University and lead scientist for the NASA-supported research.
Beyond telecommunications,
one could imagine this lightt-steering ability being useful in astronomy.
For example, these liquid-crystal panes could be used in reverse
to combine (rather than split) beams of light from multiple telescopes.
Combining light from many telescopes, a technique called interferometery,
is a good way to search for distant planets around other stars.
Another application:
a liquid crystal pane held in front of the mirror of a telescope
could be used to "unwrinkle" light that has passed through Earth's
turbulent atmosphere. Such adaptive optics telescopes could gain
a crystal-clear view of the heavens from Earth's surface.
The many uses of steering
light are part of the reason that NASA recently decided to award
Weitz and colleagues a grant for this research. In addition, NASA
can provide a unique environment for experimenting with liquid crystals:
low gravity.
"We've already seen
several exciting results from fluid physics experiments done in
Earth orbit," says Brad Carpenter, lead scientist for NASA's Physical
Sciences Research Division. "This latest project of Dr. Weitz,
who has already completed some successful experiments on the International
Space Station (ISS), was selected for funding with the vision of
aiding advances in optical information technologies."
The droplets of liquid crystal in the Harvard group's experiments,
like those shown here, are of equal size and arranged
in a regular pattern.
Liquid crystals are
a class of liquids whose molecules are more orderly than molecules
in regular fluids. Because of this orderliness, when these liquids
interact with light, they can affect the light like crystals do.
A technique invented
by Weitz and his colleagues produces equal-sized droplets of liquid
crystal, each about a dozen microns across (a micron is one thousandth
of a millimetre). Because they're all the same size, packing the
droplets together on a glass plate causes them to arrange themselves
into a honeycomb pattern.
It's this regular pattern that gives sheets of liquid crystal droplets
their light-steering ability.
Making droplets of liquid crystals is nothing new; the basic technology
has been around since the mid-1980s. Today you can find such droplets
in the window-walls of some executives' offices. With the flip of
a switch, the office's transparent windows magically change to opaque
walls somewhat like frosted glass.
"The big difference between what we do and what has been done before
is that older-style glass panes contain a random distribution of
drops and drop sizes - tiny ones and big ones. They're not ordered
at all," explains Darren Link, one of the scientists on the research
Without any order in
the drop size and spacing, these older liquid crystal systems simply
scatter light in all directions - hence the frosted-glass effect.
striking a surface after passing through the flat sheet
of liquid crystal droplets doesn't appear as a single
dot, but is split and bent to produce a patterns of dots.
"In our case, because
we make all the drops the same size, we're able to steer light in
specific directions," Link says.
The molecules in a
liquid crystal droplet are long and rod-shaped. An electric field
can steer these rods (much as a magnetic field moves a compass needle)
and so control how they guide rays of light passing through them.
Steering light at will is useful enough, but Link suspects that
the most interesting results will come from the next phase of their
"Where I think the
interesting new physics is going to be is in getting away from having
a 2-D sheet and going into 3-dimensional ordered structures," Link
says. "From now on our research will focus on doing this with real
3-D ordered structures using smaller particles."
Link and colleagues aren't sure what they're going to find when
they shine light through several stacked-up layers of these ordered
droplets... that's what's so exciting about doing it! It might split
the light up into a rainbow, like a prism, or it might affect the
light in a totally unexpected way.
3-dimensional stacked layers of liquid
crystal droplets could have some novel and useful effects
on light that passes through them.
But first they need
to find reliable ways to arrange the droplets into various 3-dimensional
patterns. This is where low gravity comes in handy.
Weightlessness greatly
simplifies making 3-D structures from fluid droplets. The tiny droplets
have a different density than the liquid in which they are suspended.
On Earth they'll either float or sink, which greatly complicates
arranging them into a pattern. In orbit, the lack of buoyancy allows
droplets to remain nicely suspended, allowing researchers to explore
many configurations that would be difficult or impossible to create
on the ground.
Weitz says they intend
to design a space-experiment and eventually fly it on the ISS. First,
though, more research on the ground is needed to understand the
basic physics of these droplets - how they respond to the applied
electric field, and exactly how those responses affect the passing
light. It's details such as these that could so on give researchers
a new tool to use in their ever-expanding mastery of light.

I'd like to execute a task at a given time, once.
I know I can just use crontab -e to add it there, but I'd like to do that through a shellscript.
crontab -e gives me some temporary file to edit which is unpredictable.
Also, once the task executes I'd like to remove it from the crontab again to make sure it'd not leaving behind mess.
So is there a standardized way to add/remove entries from my personal crontab through a script?
I know I could roll my own system: Have a script that executes every minute that executes and deletes .sh files from a folder and have my "addtask" script create .sh files in that folder, but before rolling my own I wonder if there is something already.
If it matters, I use Mac OS X and zsh but I wanted to use something that works on other *nixes as well.

So this is my favorite cake. Yep, it's really my very favorite cake (that I have made). It is even more extra special to me because I made it for my nephew's 1st birthday! I had been wanting to make a circus themed cake, and I had a picture of this one in my head long before I started. It all began when I found the retro chocolate molds for the animals on the cake. The adorable elephant, monkey, and seal chocolate figurines were calling my name and crying out to be part of a fun, cheerful circus cake!
You may already know this about me, but I'll say it again, I am a BIG fan of using chocolate on cakes! Especially now that I am a mom and have to try and squeeze in cake projects here and there, being able to make chocolate figures ahead of time is unbelievably convenient. When I saw the cute little retro elephant rocking horse chocolate mold, I knew it needed to be the center of attention on this cake!
The peanut border is a fun detail that reminds me of the circus. I made these with some peanut butter flavored candy melts, not for the flavor, but because the color was perfect. The yellow stars on the top tier are made of fondant using a pie crust star cutter from Williams-Sonoma. I love their pie crust cutter sets because they are so versatile. I end up using them for so much more than just pie crust!
The chocolates on the cake are pretty substantial, and I was worried that if I didn't connect them properly they would just fall right off the cake. I whipped up a thick batch of royal icing and it held the figures on with no problems. Royal icing is such a lifesaver!
The scalloped red and yellow vertical stripes on this cake really bring everything together and give it that big top feel. I actually placed the vertical stripes on the cake and then cut the scallop pattern using a piece of cardstock and an x-acto knife. I had to be careful not to cut through the base layer of yellow fondant, but this method was much easier than transferring the individually cut pieces onto the cake.
The cake drum is wrapped with yellow grosgrain ribbon and blue rick rack. I think the rick rack adds to the retro style of this cake, and I love using it as an accent on cake bases. I always hot glue my ribbon to the cake drum. I have tried other methods such a double stick tape, and white glue, but I really want to know it is going to stay put, and hot glue is the only reliable method I have found. Thinking back on the making of this cake, it was one of the smoothest and easiest cake experiences I have had. Maybe that's why it's my favorite cake! Once I had the cake covered in fondant, all I had to do was pop on the chocolate figures, which had been made in advance. It doesn't get much easier than that!
Thanks for taking a look at this cake, I hope it inspires you to try a cake with chocolate details!

No-Vacation Nation
Are We Becoming the No-Vacation Nation?
Perspectives December 2007
It is no secret that Americans work more hours and have fewer paid vacations than any other developed country. For example, while European Union nations have a legally mandated two-week vacation policy and most workers get far more, the United States has no laws requiring paid vacation. Typically, employees have to work at a large U.S. company for 10 years before they get 15 days of paid vacation. And that figure does not take into account the approximately 25 percent of all workers who get no paid vacation. And the discrepancy between the U.S. and the EU does not stop there. Recent media reports have observed that many Americans are not even taking the little bit of vacation they have accrued.
For example, an Expedia study found that 35 percent of employees polled didn't take all their time off because of job pressures. According to that survey the average employed American sacrificed three days of vacations, up 50 percent from the two days they gave up in 2003.
So, if employers are offering paid vacation, however paltry, why are people not taking it all? Some people report fearing for their job. If they can take vacation, they reason, they must be dispensable. And certainly some companies have a culture of overwork that leaves those who take time off feeling disloyal or underachieving. Often, not taking vacation also comes down to logistical difficulties. People report not taking vacations because either it is too difficult to coordinate schedules with two working parents and children in many activities or because they juggle multiple projects at work and there is never a good time to leave.
Work/Non-Work Lines Collapsing
Michael Pratt, professor of business administration and James F. Towey faculty fellow, suggests that the shrinking vacation is part of a larger trend of blurring lines between work and family.
"It's getting harder and harder to figure out when we're on or off work," says Pratt. "Work, family life boundaries are collapsing, driven largely by technology. So even when you are on vacation, you check your email or cell phone. Does that really count as being off work? Others take their families on business trips. Does this count as being 'on the clock'?"
Pratt, who studies the costs and benefits of teleworking notes that the blurring of the lines is a central paradox of how we work today.
"People I have spoken to say, 'On the one hand, working from home is great for work/family balance, and on the other hand I can never escape from work.' And both are true. You get the flexibility to get your kids from school and take them to a soccer game, but the price you pay is you get up at 4 a.m. to do a conference call in China."
So if, in fact, vacation time is becoming extinct, is this a crisis, as many fear, or simply the latest stage in the evolution of the workplace? The answer to that depends, it would seem, on whom you ask and on people's individual circumstances.
In general people think vacation should be vacation and work should be work, but they often make exceptions, especially for themselves.
For example, sometimes people prefer to check their emails while on vacation because of the consequences they face when they return. Pratt admits that he sometimes checks his e-mails while on vacation so that he does not have to "deal with hundreds of e-mails that can accumulate over a week or two." He further notes, "If you are going to be so stressed out about what you're going to come back to, then it's not really a relaxing vacation and maybe you're better off checking e-mail while you're gone."
Which, of course, returns us to the question of whether that's really a vacation or not.
Still, given the dramatic changes at the workplace — what with the advent of Internet and mobile technology — perhaps it should not be surprising that the nature of vacation also might change.
Judith Gebauer, assistant professor of management information systems at the College of Business, studies the uses of mobile technology in the workplace. She has found in several surveys that people appreciate the flexibility that Internet access and cell phones gives them. If they are checking their messages on vacation that is a way to feel more relaxed about being off duty, not less, says Gebauer.
"Many people we spoke to say mobile technology makes them more productive and efficient," she says. "This is particularly true for people in supervisory jobs who want to know what's going on and to be kept in the loop, to react quickly when necessary. This technology also gives them flexibility to work from anywhere."
People, being the adaptable creatures they are, have changed both how they work (more from home or the beach) and how they vacation (with Blackberry in hand). Research done by the Travel Industry Association indicates that many people are taking shorter vacations, sometimes closer to home. Consequently, the industry is pushing more regional markets geared toward people who are looking for a quick trip either by car or short flight. Vacations that are tacked on to a business trip have also become more common.
Does Busyness Backfire on Business?
But how does this vacation deprivation impact American productivity?
There is evidence that taking breaks from work help create healthier, safer and more productive employees. Research conducted by the Families and Work Institute (FWI), which has been studying work/life balance for almost 20 years, found that overworked employees are more likely to make mistakes and to be angry at their employers and at colleagues who do not work as hard. Employees who described themselves as overworked reported feeling higher stress levels, experiencing symptoms of clinical depression and having poorer health overall.
"It's true that if you work 80 hours a week and take no vacation and your German counterpart works 40 hours a week with six weeks of vacation you'll be more productive, but not twice as productive," says Pratt. "At some point there are diminishing returns. And you have to think that getting away and relaxing will be better for you in the long run in terms of both health and productivity."
The FWI survey found just that: employees who do take a higher percentage of vacation days to just relax and enjoy themselves (as opposed to, for example, taking care of a sick relative), even when they feel overworked on the job, are significantly less likely to return to work feeling overwhelmed by all they have to do after taking their longest vacation. Those that feel overworked, and work on vacation, do not return from vacation more relaxed and energized and do feel overwhelmed by all the work that has piled up in their absence. The study concludes that encouraging employees to take vacation time to simply relax might enhance the impact of vacation time and would benefit both employees and employers.
From a strictly medical perspective, one could argue that not taking vacations to recharge is stressful, and medical evidence of the health consequences of stress is well-documented. Stress, no matter the source, causes the body to produce more cortisol, a stress hormone, which has been implicated in heart disease. Perhaps Americans - particularly upper-level managers and other "knowledge workers" — are hurting themselves and their company by not taking their alloted vacation and/or bringing the office with them when they do vacation.
Rest & Recharge
While the current blurring of work and non-work may be stressful, it may also be the reality of today's workplace. The old practice of working from 9 to 5, with two weeks in the Adirondacks — if it ever was the norm — may be extinct.
But Pratt notes that, as the line between work and non-work continues to blur, some companies are stepping up and becoming more involved in workers' family life by providing everything from a concierge service to pick up dry cleaning to child care, elder care and even doggie daycare. Some firms even offer a kind of marriage counseling.
"The positive take on that is that it shows that companies care about their employees and want to help them," says Jeff Ericksen, assistant professor of labor and industrial relations at the University of Illinois. "The more cynical view is that companies want to make sure their employees can work every waking second."
FWI conducts an annual study of best practices in terms of work/life balance. The 2006 report, titled "Work That Works," found that the best companies have recognized and embraced the need for flexibility and autonomy. Many of the companies studied by FWI saw dramatically increased employee retention and profits when they instituted policies like having employees take however much vacation they wanted, making sure people took some vacation, and not keeping track of where or when employees work, only that they made their deadlines.
But this approach of flexibility and autonomy has its own share of pitfalls.
"Within the field of strategic human resources people talk about the growing importance of workforce autonomy in the workforce and having the workforce buy into the vision and mission of the firm," says Ericksen. "But part of the reason people may not be vacationing is that, working in these settings, people are more motivated to go to work and, if given the chance, will essentially live at work. So, you've created this tension and a culture where people start not taking care of themselves. And, within that culture overwork can become a status symbol and it takes courage to take a vacation."
It is up to both the employer and the employee to make sure that the employees take time to rest and recharge, says Joy C. Harper, a 1994 business administration graduate, who has worked with Procter & Gamble for 13 years.
"I really do try to take all my vacation every years," she says.
She and her husband, Myles, who has a less flexible and generous vacation policy, try to take a driving trip once a year with their three children, but for those vacation days she has and her husband does not she tries to "do something nice for myself or just pick up the kids and do something fun with them. I think the relaxation factor on vacation is affected by the state in which you left things at work and by what could be in store for you when you get back," she says with a laugh. "The tighter I left things the more quickly I relax."
Harper also keeps work issues in perspective. "You know the building will still be standing when you get back; the issues will still be there."
Balancing Act
Perhaps, with the increasing awareness of the bottom line benefit of flexibility in the work place, with EU countries setting an example, and employees from both Generations X and Y demanding a more balanced life, the scale will tip back more toward valuing vacation as much as work.
There is a strong desire to get our lives back in balance. One indication of that desire is the support that groups like Work to Live, an organization founded by Joe Robinson (editor of Escape magazine), to push for a federally mandated, minimum-three-week vacation for every American worker.
Still, it will be an uphill battle because the "enemy" is no one particular person or organization, but a guerilla-style mindset that is difficult to fight against. Getting vacation depends, not only on employers offering it, but employees taking it. And that will require everyone to re-examine their "overwork" ethic and learn when to say when.
Although businesses are not keen on the idea of federal legislation, the advantage is that the "playing field" will be even. And, as Robinson notes, "if six-day work weeks and no time off was considered so cruel in the 19th century that labor laws were required to make things better, perhaps it is time once again to get the government involved."

If it seems like everybody isn't on the same page in your workplace, maybe a book club can help.
Kansas City, Mo.-based Think Contracting swears by its in-house book club as a glue that binds the company together.
Every Friday from 10 a.m. to noon, the company's front office and sales folk — usually 13 to 15 of them — gather for a meeting. Often the agenda includes discussing an assigned book.
"Personal development, communication skills, business education — that's what we read," said Josh Davis, who with his brother Bo Hamby lead the roofing company they started in 2010.
"We wanted to embed the culture of learning in the DNA of our company," Davis said, "and to do that, we need people who are open to developing their skills."
That means a reading list heavy on Stephen Covey, Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar and other self-improvement and business-improvement authors. Usually, one or two books a month are assigned for the staff to read.
"After we read 'The Goal,' a novel about operational efficiencies and bottlenecks, we recognized that Josh was a bottleneck in our system, and we transitioned one of our salespeople into production to relieve that bottleneck," Hamby said.
"We even did 'Man's Search for Meaning,' a Holocaust survivor book that basically says they can take away everything except your attitude."
To help create time for books, the company has an audible book account for employees so they can listen during travel time in their vehicles.
The brothers even have required reading before they'll hire a new employee. Greg Nelson, for example, was assigned "How to Win Friends and Influence People" before his sales and project manager job offer was affirmed.
"The most difficult thing is to hire great people," Hamby said. "A person in an interview could say cliches, but we rotate applicants through multipart interviews with our different divisions. … It's amazing the different insights you get."

TMJ Therapy in Falls Church, VA
Get Effective Relief for TMJ Syndrome
It's estimated that ten million Americans suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome, a common condition affecting the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull. TMJ typically causes pain in the jaw, face, and neck area that may radiate down into the shoulder. If you have experienced this type of pain, or suspect that you may have TMJ syndrome, your Herrmann & Desio Family Dentistry professionals will work with you to develop an effective treatment plan.
What is temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome?
Temporomandibular joint syndrome, more commonly referred to as TMJ, involves the area of your mouth where the lower jaw connects with the skull via the temporal bone. Sometimes this joint doesn't function the way it should due to overstretching. The condition typically begins between the ages of 20 to 40, and may last for many years.
Typical causes of TMJ syndrome.
It can be difficult to pinpoint the source of TMJ syndrome, since it can be linked to a number of different causes. TMJ typically results from an overstretched jaw muscle brought about by one of the following:
- Teeth grinding due to stress
- Incorrect alignment of the bite (occlusion)
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Injury of the jaw, neck, or head
How does TMJ affect the joints of the jaw?
The temporomandibular joint is one of the most frequently used in the body–involved in chewing, speaking, and yawning. When TMJ syndrome is present, it affects both the muscles and joints of the jaw.
TMJ symptoms may include:
- Jaw, neck, and face pain
- Pain that radiates into the head and shoulders
- A clicking or popping noise with jaw movement
- Locking of the jaw joint
- Facial swelling and sensitivity
- Difficulty chewing or fully opening the mouth
The diagnosis of TMJ syndrome.
If your Herrmann & Desio Family Dentistry dentist suspects you may suffer from TMJ syndrome, he or she will give you a thorough examination. Your dentist will likely evaluate the movement of your jaw, bite, and facial muscles. She or he may also request X-rays, an MRI, or a CAT scan to rule out other possible causes.
Treating TMJ syndrome.
Treatment for TMJ syndrome depends on the cause and the severity of the problem. In most cases, a night guard or splint–mouthpieces that fit over the teeth–will prevent the grinding that causes TMJ. These mouthpieces can also help correct an improper bite. In extreme cases, you may require surgery or orthodontic treatment to restore your muscles, teeth, and jaw joint to their proper functioning.
Medications for TMJ syndrome.
Your Herrmann & Desio Family Dentistry dentist may suggest over the counter pain relievers such as NSAIDs, or a muscle relaxant to prevent further clenching and grinding of the teeth. Other remedies include anti-anxiety medications to eliminate the stress that may contribute to TMJ.
How to cope with TMJ syndrome.
If you suspect your symptoms may stem from TMJ syndrome, ask your Herrmann & Desio Family Dentistry dentist for an appropriate assessment. Our professional staff will evaluate you to determine if TMJ is, in fact, the cause. If so, we offer extensive experience in this particular type of problem involving the teeth and jaws. Your treatment plan may combine multiple areas of dentistry, such as oral surgery, orthodontics, and the use of an oral sleep appliance to help alleviate symptoms. Let our experts help you get the effective relief you seek for TMJ syndrome.

Monitoring migrating bird populations is one of Long Point Bird Observatory's most exciting and valuable programs. Which bird species have been increasing or decreasing over time? LPBO has been gathering data to answer these questions and more since 1960, generating a vast and unique data set. Ours is the longest-running program of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.
Long Point extends 32 km into Lake Erie, attracting large numbers and concentrations of birds during migration. Our team counts and monitors many species as they migrate north in spring and south in fall. Counting birds on migration is particularly valuable for monitoring populations of species that breed in northern Canada, in areas that are inaccessible to more conventional monitoring methods such as the Breeding Bird Survey. Daily standardized counts and bird banding are conducted at each of our three research stations during migration.

Prostate Cancer Stem Cells Found to be Moving Target
|Dr. Andrew Goldstein
|Dr. Owen Witte
UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers Drs. Andrew Goldstein and Owen Witte, and colleagues from UCLA's Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, have found that prostate cancer can develop in one type of stem cell, then evolve to be maintained by a stem cell that looks very different, making prostate cancer stem cells a "moving target" for treatments.
The breakthrough discovery connects directly to the development of future therapeutics that target cancer and was published online ahead of print in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific regenerative cells that replace diseased or damaged cells in the body's organs. Drs. Goldstein, Witte and colleagues previously reported in Science that prostate cancer can start in basal type stem cells. Building on that discovery, they found that tumors can start in basal stem cells that evolve to luminal-like cells. This means that the source of the disease they wish to target with therapy, the tumor stem cell, can change over time.
"People have begun to think about cancers as being driven by stem cells in the same way that many of our adult organs are maintained by dedicated stem cells," said Goldstein. "Based on this new understanding, a lot of excitement surrounds the concept of going right to the root of the tumor and targeting those stem cells to eradicate the cancer."
In patients with aggressive prostate cancer who are being treated with anti-androgen therapy, the basal stem cells that start the cancer look different from the luminal cells that maintain the aggressive disease, and in turn the tumor stem cells that remain after the anti-androgen treatment look different from the previous two. This means that for targeting treatments, researchers need to identify cell types that evolve as the disease and its treatment progress.
With the knowledge that prostate cancer stem cells can change what they look like, the researchers are now seeking the possible elements that are consistent within the stem cells and do not change through stem cell evolution. This knowledge will help in the development of drugs that target the evolving cancer stem cells.
Drs. Goldstein and Witte and colleagues have begun to look at some of the factors that define a stem cell no matter its external appearance. They underscored the importance of the continual evolution of the stem cell's physical appearance, especially as tumors adapt to become resistant to new and more potent therapies.
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating basic science into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2013, the Jonsson Cancer Center was named among the top 12 cancer centers nationwide by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for 14 consecutive years.

Math is necessary for even the most basic of life functions. Whether you're buying groceries, determining a budget for yourself, calculating interest on investments, or carrying out a whole myriad of other life tasks, math will somehow be involved. This is a fact I don't particularly like to admit, being an English teacher, but let's face it -- the world would be just as lost without numbers as it would be without words (maybe moreso?). Granted, I was never very good at math, but it is unfortunately essential for basic survival.

"The language of Nature is Mathematics." How much or little we comprehend Math is exactly how much or little we comprehend. Comprehension is probably a function of brain wiring; some are better at it than others, but most of us have endured the poorly taught math class with a revulsion for the subject, which is a shame. Progress in commerce, science, and technology all depend upon math's comprehension; we may have had to learn calculus to do physics problems, but at the first, Newton's study of physics led him (and Leibniz) to develop calculus! George Boole in the 1800's developed a branch of algebra for logic manipulations; every computer in existence relies on them now. We've come a long way from adding and subtracting on fingers.

Math is very functional. Most of us use it without even thinking about it. Do you ever go shopping? How do you determine how much of a product to buy? You probably take into account how many will be eating, as well as how much you'd like each person to have. If you're feeding a family of eight, perhaps more than a single box of macaroni and cheese would be in order, unless, of course, everyone is on a strict diet.
How do you know if bigger is better? Lots of products come in "value sizes", usually with a higher price tag, yet with a bigger volume. Simple math helps you determine whether or not you truly are getting more for your money.
Are "combo meal deals" really a better option at restaurants? Why pay 3.99 for a so-called value meal at Mickey D's, when you can get the sandwich, fries, and drink for only $1 a piece?
Math is used all the time. The reasoning and logic behind it help us avoid getting ripped off.

With out math we would be weaird
Without math, we would have a lot of trouble We would get to the register at a store and realize that we don't have near enough money, we would try to break up a cake for eight people and struggle. Math is a VERY important part of our lives. But honestly, I don't see how you are ever going to need to know, except for on a test, how to solve for x cubed y to the thirteenth power times 1638 or something...But basic math, although annoying, is an ESSENTIAL part of our lives.
Math is an important part of our lives because it is everywhere, and understanding mathematical concepts and being able to calculate mathematical problems can help you in a variety of ways.
For example, say you want to have the latest Shopkins™ or Lego® set. If you earn allowance for doing chores at home and you know how to multiply or add groups of numbers, you can figure out how many weeks it will take you to have enough money to buy the toys you want!
On another note, say you want to walk or ride your bike to school and your mom will let you, but you have to calculate how much time it will take you so you can be sure you'll arrive on time. You need to know the distance to school from your starting point and the amount of time it takes you to walk and/or bike to school. Once you measure the distance and know how long it takes you to travel per block, you can add or multiply to determine how much time you need to arrive at school on time. With this information, you can impress your mom and you might get to ride your bike or walk to school. Also, your mom just might let you do more things independently because now you've shown her that you can use critical thinking skills to solve problems!
In addition to problem-solving to gain things you want, understanding mathematical concepts also helps you understand the world around you. Math is a science based on logic (what makes sense) and patterns (repeating designs or shapes), which you will find everywhere you look. Your mind is wired to look for patterns to make sense of things in the world; math is the building block for this. Noticing patterns in the world helps your mind process and understand information better and more quickly. Now wouldn't that feel good?
What I love the most about math is that the concepts that we learn in math can be used to model most everything we see around us in our everyday lives. Mathematics has not only given us all of the wonderful things in our world as mentioned by the other responders of this thread, but mathematical practices teach us life skills that may or not even involve mathematical calculations. You may never use any mathematical concept that you have learned in school (doubtful, but possible) but you will definitely gain skills that are high on the list of 21-century employers. Skills like perseverance, precision, intellectual and credible communication skills. These skills and others are all associated with best mathematical practice. Many of us are never trained to see the math that we use. Most of us are only taught to calculate. Once we understand that mathematics is much, much more that calculation, the importance of mathematics as a part of our lives is abundantly clear. Keep asking questions, especially this type of question. It shows that you are a thinker and that you truly desire the knowledge. Good luck!
because math, lets us discover more math. it also opens up more jobs for teachers and professors
Math is extremely crucial in ourlife because it is part of our every day life. Even though you might not notice it but we use it everyday. Kowing it makes you a valuable person.
Maths is very important in every day life as it provides us to do the calculations easily and correctly .
The application of Mathematics is one that a lot of times people don't think about. more often than not the majority of the population thinks that they cannot do math, or that it doesn't apply to them, when in fact it does. As stated in some previous answers math is used in counting money, time, etc. Unfortunately, in today's society we use math less and less ourselves and rely more on machines to do it for us.
Math is a useful tool in our everyday lives. It helps maintain balance in our finance. Also, the measurements used with math can help architects build and design buildings and structures with great accuracy. Another example would be that it helps artists create magnificent masterpieces by using simple math tools such as compasses and rulers.
Math is a great tool in life. Math helps us maintain financial stability to solving financial problems. Math has given us the essential told we use to this day like computers, tablets, wash and dryers. Knowing even a little bit of math can make your life a lot easier especially when you are on a budget and you would like to save up for something. Of course you would like to know when you will be able to get it haha.
Math is a vital aspect in our lives because it is used in even the simplest things. its used in measuring, banking, managing money, counting, and time.
Math is essentially used in our daily lives. In:
- Money. To understand currency
- Discounts/Sales Tax. To see how much you are charged for something
- Portion. To see how big something is
- Shapes. To understand why this is shaped this way
- Weight: To see how much you've gained or loss
- Time: To see how much time is taken/loss or gained from this experience
- Size: To measure
Math is very important in our lives because it is everywhere we go. In everyday life simple math is used to do thing such as counting items, adding totals or calculating 20℅ off your new dress with a coupon. In the workplace whether you are a mathematician using calculus or a cashier totaling orders or change math is necessary in all fields
Math plays an important part in our lives because many people use it as a daily part in their lives. If you think about it a lot of things require math even if it's very simple. For example you use math to measure ingredients when cooking, count out money when you buy things, manage your savings, doing homework, and many other things.
Math is important for our daily lives because believe it or not it really surrounds us. For example , going grocery or shopping for anything you would have to calculate the price which of course involves math .
Math is something that we need to use during our everyday lives. It teaches you how much money you need to pay or can use or anything that involves numbers and counting
Math is relevant, from basic survival such as to count money, how much to pay from day to day, to interdisciplinary studies, such as geography, where math is also involved.
Simple math is a part of your everyday life. Whether you are calculating how much money you'll save on a clearance item, doubling a recipe, or counting how many hours of sleep you'll get if you fall asleep in the next 10 minutes, you will use math all the time with out even realizing it. Now obviously not everyone will need to know the quadratic formula for their future life and career, but simple math is always needed. If you are planning on being a financial assistant or architect, math will be more important in your life compared to some others.
A few years ago, I asked myself this very same question. But now, I realize that the answer is just in front of me every time, every day. Math, as complex as it may seem is applied to our daily lives. From the moment we wake up, we look at our alarm clocks. Reading time is a form of math itself. When we heat food in the microwave and set the microwave for about two minutes, math is also there. How about when your mom cooks your lunch and she follows the recipe, there is also math involved in the amount of ingredients. When we pay for a cab ride we use math to count money. Math doesnt have to be very complex for you to realize how important it is. The simple act of counting from one to ten is math already. Can you imagine a life without any of these?
Math is very important! For example if you want to buy something you use math! If there was a sale on a certain item you would need to use math to find out the price. You may or may not know that math is everywhere! For example shapes and numbers which you use regularly!
Math is all around us in the world and using math allows us to interpret and in turn manipulate the world around us. Without math you couldn't be asking us this question on your computer
It will be a daily function as math involves the basic aspect of buying, and a step further, selling, which will be relevant to our daily lives. Math therefore comes in as a crucial skill in our lives.
Because we like to earn money, and we need math to earn money and also to count money, and the more math we know the more we know how to save money and earn money. ...0_o i hope that makes sense.
Math holds great importance in our lives because much of what we do every day requires math. We just don't know it because we don't take the time to think about what's going on behind the scenes.
For example, when you use your calculator to figure out how much you should tip a waiter or waitress, you're doing math by calculating on your smart phone. But all you're really doing is entering the price of your bill and the app would do the math for you.
Another example is when you go to the grocery store and your tax is calculated. There's math right there. Or when you pay for gas at the gas station and you're multiplying how many gallons you want by the price of each gallon.
Math is incorporated in our lives every day. It's used in our phones when we want them to function. It's used in our computers so they can function. People in physics use it to calculate how many mph a plane or car was going before it crashed. We use math all the time but we just don't realize it. This is why math is important. It goes everywhere with us. It's used in all kind of technology. It's used in developing the products we own and have at hand.
Basically because it is in everything we do. Without numbers we wouldn't be able to add or subtract. Without math, Math is a tool we've invented because it's convenient for solving problems we face, it's not something that exists just because it wants to.
Math is important because on you know and understand finance. Yeah I know sometimes you think when will I graph something with calculus but even regular math can be helpful. You won't be a victim of a scam and math is found EVERYWHERE so basically it's in your best interest to learn math
Math is so important because of its practical applications. But its even more important than that because its at the heart of understanding the world around us. My favorite example is the golden ratio that can be seen in the shells of snails, the petals of flowers, to the great galaxies millions of light years away from us. Its astounding how universal math is and how its an intrinsic property of everything.
Math is important in our lives. Math are everywhere. When you build houses and bridges, math are included. When you have to pay money to someone math is included such as addition and subtraction. For example If one of the item cost $13 and you only have $15 and you don't know how much money you are going to get back. You have to subtract $15-$13 equals $2 and $2 is the money you are going to get back. This is where math gets important in our life.
Can you imagine going to the store and paying for your groceries with a $100 bill. You just stand there and wait for the change, but have no idea how much it should be, or what amount of change you should receive. This is kind of like a first grader starting to use money, isn't it. They are all excited about spending and paying although they know nothing about doing math.
Math is the one skill you need to master in your life, even if it is the only one, you will at least be able to live without being cheated, robbed or abused. You see, without math we just cannot live or survive. We need math in our everyday lives. Just doing the basic essentials is dependant on your ability to do math.
Let's take for instance time, in today's society one cannot survive without a watch. Just make an experiment and see how many times a day you use your watch. From getting up in the morning to going from one place to another, and going to bed at night, time is as essential as breathing to us. We are creatures of habit, planning every minute of our lives.
Math is very important if you never knew how to do math what else would you know how to do math is like in our everyday life if there is no math lets just say you won't now anything and you would be living on the streets
The question of why math is important usually arises when children have learned how to count, add, substract, multiply, and divide; and they come to believe they know all they need to know to function adequately in life. After all, if one understands how to keep track of his own money, figure out what it means when a scale shows two additional pounds, or cut a cake so there'll be enough pieces for everyone, what else do we need to know?
The littlest children who don't like math can usually understand the explanation that knowing how to handle money, telling time, cooking, sharing things, or knowing how many of any item will be left if some are used, all require knowing math. Younger children can usually understand why it's important to know how to measure how tall something is or how heavy it is, and they can usually understand how doing things like wallpapering or hanging window shades call for knowing how to measure.
Math is important because it is part of our live. Everything must involve in mathematics. Even though you are a philosopher, you'll still need math to see whether you are cheated in the market or not. However, if we talking about professional in math, we would notice that those math genius will have more opportunety to find jobs because math suit perfectly to everyday problems such as economic problems, engineering work or even in military serves where the professers are asked to demonstrate how to shoot missiles perfectly.
Math is critical to brain development. Every student has probably asked the question. "Why do I have to learn Algebra? I'll never use it again." Possibly, but you will use the area of your brain that it develops every day of your life. Math teaches you to take steps to find an answer. The process is every bit as important as the answer. Without mental discipline, even the smartest of people can fail at life. As you think your way through math problems, you actually build new and stronger brain circuitry that translates into solving all of life's challenges more effectively. If you are interested in building your body strength, but neglect your brain, you are only accomplishing part of what you need. Think of math as "working out" your brain!
In the increasingly tech world we live in, math is more important than ever since it is the the basis of that world. Future high paying jobs will (and are) requiring a high levels of numerical proficiency, much higher than the panzy math you do at high school, so it is only logical to get kids to some sort of basic level, so they have a larger set of choices for later. It teachs a very particular mindset, not just being precise and logical and all the usual stuff they tell you, but also how to hold many interelating patterns in your head about a situation and how to see that situation from different angles. What else...if math (and other sciences) are considered hard, then don't you think it is useful when applying to college to have done well at it, when the masses don't and focus their efforts on soft subjects.
For example:
Imagine you've got a job at Subway. If there are 4 pieces of meat on the foot-long sub, how many go on the 6-inch sub? Every job requires knowing at least basic math, and many jobs expect you to be able to do algebra or more advanced math.
Math is an everyday thing. if you really think about it, you use it all the time.
Since we start looking at the objects maths come into the play, since our childhood, counting of toys, comparing and contrasting shapes, all these activities involved with maths without our knowledge. We do not realise how much and what kind of maths we have used in an entire day. As in education Mathematics help students to understand other subjects in better manner, as it seems that when student excel in maths the other subjects automatically become easier due to great involvement of mathematics. On the whole i can say mathematics is so important for us to live a life whether we realise it or not.
math is the language of science / so to understand any thing you must know its language
u must be having a bank account with some interests ..???....rght and so ...when u need the money u calculates things..........
maths is nedded in daily life..no shopkeeper can cheat on u...!!!Can you imagine going to the store and paying for your groceries with a $100 bill. You just stand there and wait for the change, but have no idea how much it should be, or what amount of change you should receive. This is kind of like a first grader starting to use money, isn't it. They are all excited about spending and paying although they know nothing about doing math.
let's take for instance time, in today's society one cannot survive without a watch. Just make an experiment and see how many times a day you use your watch. From getting up in the morning to going from one place to another, and going to bed at night, time is as essential as breathing to us. We are creatures of habit, planning every minute of our lives.
nonethless it is the most widely used subject in the world....! every carrer use some sort of maths
So, why is math important in your life? We live in a fast growing sector of information and without math you won't be able to keep up. Don't lose your momentum, but be the wolf ahead of the pack. Leading them, and not following them. Be the trendsetter by becoming the best you can be. Use your mind to your advantage!
Math is important because it is the most widely used subject in the world. Every career uses some sort of math. More importantly, doing math helps the mind to reason and organized complicated situations or problems into clear, simple, and logical steps. Thus, as students learn more math, the rationale is that their minds will eventually develop into logical entity that can resolve any difficult situations. The reality is that in a society such as ours, high paying jobs often demand someone who can take complicated situations and simplify it to the level that everyone can understand. Therefore, by knowing more math, students give themselves the competitive edge they will need to compete for these high paying jobs.
math we use everyday and it trains the brain not only for math but also problem sovling in the life. it make the brain truely functional
Without people who can do math, we would not have many of the things we take for granted.
its being used everywhere in the world
it creats easy way in solving a typical problem
but by thinking more mathematically theoritical knowledge is decresing
formula.. most dont know how does it get derived..
even i dont know most formulas derivations.....
Math = Daily Life
Math is a part of our daily lives like money. with math we can calculate money and age and time and weight and height and number and mass and density. math is so important. i asked myself the same question when my friends heard that they asked me what is 2+2 is said 3 instead of 4 so you never know like what is 2+4 others might say 5 or 6 so that is the reason why we need it. please try to understand
Math is part of every day life. You need to determine if the bigger package at the store is the best deal. Do you have enough money to purchase something when you add in sales tax. Did you get the right change. I teach 1st grade and it is so surprising how many children do not know the names of coins. I find they all know what a dollar is but have no idea what the name of value of a coin is. How will you know if you were given the right change if you don't know math?
I always liked math the best as there is a right answer. It didn't matter if the teacher liked you or not. If you got the right answer you got the points.
If you plan to go to college you have to be able to do math without the benefit of a calculator. Most students have to take at least one math class in college.I also liked math as it didn't require any written essays!
This topic is very great, thank you very much for this good effort.
I have benefited a lot from it.
I wish everyone to benefit from this excellent topic.
Thanxxx".... ^_^
Maths is important because the world itself is based on it and nothing was created just like that
I love the way you answered this question simple and great you should at top 5.
I would like to talk to you my email is firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.
Math is very important in life because if you go to a grocery store and buy something and when you go to give the payment of that thing you would not how much to give or you would not the price of the thing which you bought.
Or if you are checking your weight and you have not learned math you would not know what your weight is so math is very very important in life.
Why is math such an important part of our lives?
Why is math such an important part of our lives?
Math is extremely important because...for example, if you did not know what would be the better buy:one dozen doughnuts for 11$ or two dozen doughnuts for 50$ that would really stink cuz u would eventually b broke and b homeless and not have a life:(
Math makes the world go round and round. Math is used everywhere in every part of our lives such as groceries, driving your car, paying taxes shopping , Constructions transportation all require math in someways :)
Maths is important because the world itself is based on it and nothing was created just like that
Well, you have to use it for mostly ALL your jobs.
You use it for every life whether here or not.
Math is EVERYWHERE.
if you are going to have a life you need to use math like when counting money and shopping.
Math is important because it is in everything we do. For example, to make things quicker you could multiply or divide. Math can also be used to see the total cost of a number of items. We use math for time or location (latitude and longitude). Math can also be found all the time in nature (Fibonacci numbers).
It helps us count money and it helps with reading and science
Why is math such an important part of our lives?
Why is math such an important part of our lives?
because we need it to cout money or when your prob;em solving it helps you with things that help get a lot of money out of and it also helps with reading and science
Math is an important part of our lives, because in the future you will get a job that deals with math. Math is pretty much in everything you do, really. Just think about it-later on in life you will need to use it somehow, one way or the other. I know it stinks that you have homework basically everyday for math, but it will be beneficial to the career you choose in the future. Hang in there:)
knowing how to do basic math is very important! but all the other stuff i dont see how that is important. but i know people use math way more than they think.
dude.......i really dont know

Math is important because it is the most widely used subject in the world. Every career uses some sort of math. More importantly, doing math helps the mind to reason and organized complicated situations or problems into clear, simple, and logical steps.
because you use it in your everyday life example counting your money, eating, watching tv and many others
Say you wanted to buy a bag of Haribo fangtastics and they cost £1.37 the shopkeeper would think you dont know how to count!!!!!
Because it is the most important tool in our minds. Without it, we would be ripped off whenever we buy something. If my father wasn't a maths pro, he wouldv'e been nripped off $82.55 on a new laptop. Lol, he loooked at the price, and said, this is too much, i'm going to sue you. So they gave us a lower price. As youu can see, things like this make life worthwhile.
Math is used in everyday life.
Math is used all the time. The reasoning and logic behind it help us avoid getting ripped off.
As I explained the other day to a student that I tutor, every job, every profession, everything we do, touch, see, and smell involves numbers, whether we see them or not. A garbage man, for example, must know the addresses where he must pick up on his route. He must know how many customers overall he has to collect from. He must know the volume that his truck can carry, and the maximum weight it can legally carry. He must know the height of his truck for when he goes under a low bridge, or know the overall weight of his truck if he goes onto a weight restricted bridge. He must know the maximum width of an object that he can fit into his truck, or the height or volume of the object.
Numbers are everywhere, and along with them, math. Knowing basic math is very important to unraveling the mystery that is advanced math. Just don't be afraid of math. I used to be really afraid, and now it's my favorite subject!
It is important because it is illustrated in a variety. Moreover to its usefulness and versatility, it is used extensively. Motions, mixtures, work, investment problems, and even puzzle problems are examples of its application.
i guess math has its uses... but i find the most important thing to do with math is money! :D
First of all, you need to see math as an instrument, as the teaspoon is important, when you need to eat a very tasty cake in a fancy restaurant.
Since the early Greek studies concerning geometry and algebra till the nowadays theories studies about infinity and strings, math meant the progress in all fields as: computers science, medicine, architecture, economy etc.
Imagine, if the math doesn't exist, the computers science couldn't exist, and you couldn't launch the question and receive an answer from your PC or Notebook. Do you agree?
I agree to That one
Math is important because if you are working with money you would never know how much to give or recieve. you could easily get cheated out of alot of money if you didnt know how to count. And also if you worked at a job and they needed someone to work at the cash register you wouldnt know how to give change back you would never have a job.
Why is math such an important part of our lives?
Why is math such an important part of our lives?
i reckon t'was because every little thing we do in our life, there's still a simple math in it.
if you mastered mathematics all the subjects will be easy on you.. mastering english can make you help mAster math.. wrong grammar.. lol!xD sure you can understand what imma sayin?:)
math is an important aspect in everybody's life. When u relly think about it everyine uses it. Im not sayin that all this high level calculas aand stuff will mean anything to u later on i life but the basics skills (addition,subtraction,division,multiplication,etc) r very important. Things such as cooking, measuring, building, and everything else u can think of invovle math. Without math and precise measurements, the world would just be a flat dirt ball. The four main subjects(math,english,science,and history) are all very important, but by far the 2 most important are math and english. It's just flat out what makjes thee world go round simpla as that.
Hope this helps lol even though i just completely went on a rant :)
Most people will get through their lives using only a few of the basic arithmetic and statistics our elementary schools teach. What you'll likely use is how to balance a checkbook, how to read a pie chart, and how to compare the unit cost of competing brands in a grocery store.
But if you are young you probably don't really know what all your talents are and what subjects you might in the future find a career in. You've likely not even heard of all the disciplines that you'll learn about as you progress in your education. So learning more than just the basics will prepare you to take advantage of things that might come into your life.
Math teaches you another way to think. It literally stretches your mind by creating synapses for rational thought that you didn't have before. Logic and math are so intertwined that mathematics departments offer courses in logic and math was once taught as a branch of natural philosophy. Math homework strengths those synapses in the same was as ice skating practice strengthens your ankles.
You also might want to explore math a more is because it can be awe inspiring. Did you know that there are as many even numbers as there are integers (odd plus even)? That the musical harmony that sounds right to us corresponds to a specific set of numbers? That the use of the word "irrational" for "crazy" came from mathematicians recognizing that numbers exist that cannot be accurately stated as the ratio of two integers?
maths teaches you to work hard.
Well, this could be oversaying, but math is definitely one of our basis to society. Without math, there will be no technology whatsoever, and people will return back to stone age. Physics, chemistry, and other sciences are all based on math. Mathematics is a part of our everyday life, as afi80fl have generously given a LOT of examples in our everyday life. Math is and will be important in our society for the rest of the human society. KWOO1213 brings up a very interesting point, we dont use calculus in our oenlife, we dont take integrals and derivatives. Well, if you are happy to walk to your english major everyday, using maybe sand to write on the floor and writing in the blank air, then i'll say math is not important. Without math, the books FOR the English major would never exist. I'm NOT saying that English is NOT important, I'm just saying math is the basis of our society.
math is important to our day-to-day life situations!
I think math is so important in our lives because Math functions your brain properly and makes you smarter;D I hate math and I think it is the WORST subject, and I would be better off with Reading and Science but I would be really retarted without math!
Why is math such an important part of our lives?
Why is math such an important part of our lives?
Math is such an important part of our lives because we use it every day. It might not seem like that at times but it's true. Here's an example. You only have $20 and you go shopping. The shirt you want is $25 and the sign says 25% off. Can you afford it? Do you want to find a clerk to help you every time you face this situation?
When it comes to cooking (measurement), finding out how many miles per gallon your car gets (division) or if you have enough money to purchase that shirt, an understanding of math and how numbers work will help you solve these problems.
When you buy a car, follow a recipe, or decorate your home, you're using math principles. People have been using these same principles for thousands of years, across countries and continents. Whether you're sailing a boat off the coast of Japan or building a house in Peru, you're using math to get things done.
It's obvious that maths is one of the most important thing in our life.Without math no one could built a house which is cuboid and you need math for building bridges etc.
you need math in every day life, you wages, going to the shop without math people could fool you and you wouldnt know! thats why, the reason we have algerbra is still a mystery to me, i think it may be because we need to work our brains to figure things out and its an exercise to do that!
If we didn't have math, we probably wouldn't go very far in life.
For example, what do you think cashiers did to add up change before we had all the tech stuff that does it for us?
Mathematics is the queen of science.
It is fantastic that science and nature's laws are enligtened to man through mathematics.Galeleo,Kepler,Newton,Copernicus, the Indian Aryabhata, Bhaskara are able to explain the universe through their rigorous mathematical background.
Modern science requires mathematics. And many a times a proper mathematics needs to be devloped before a technological advent/invention.
We need basic counting for our the daily needs.And all our(common man's) finance, purchase budget and routine planning is mathematics but with only a diffrent name.
You wish to judge anything, there comes technic of quality of its mesurement.I may not know it ,but it pervades through the universe. I agree with enotechris to conclude that" the language of nature is mathematics.
because we need math for almost everything
without math we would not be able to shop. number for paying for the item, sales, etc
First of all, you need to see math as an instrument, as the teaspoon is important, when you need to eat a very tasty cake in a fancy restaurant.
Since the early Greek studies concerning geometry and algebra till the nowadays theories studies about infinity and strings, math meant the progress in all fields as: computers science, medicine, architecture, economy etc.
Imagine, if the math doesn't exist, the computers science couldn't exist, and you couldn't launch the question and receive an answer from your PC or Notebook. Do you agree?

There is many lessons that I could do but before I get to the good stuff I have to upload tuts based on the stuff that members and visitors would like to see. That is why you are seeing this tutorial before you now. I will attempt to show you "how to draw Irresponsible Dad's son", step by step. There is many names used to describe the dad's son like Justin Beiber and Timmy. I do know that there is a badge that reads "Great Job Timmy", so maybe that is the name of this child that has the misfortune of having a father like he does. Anyways, have fun drawing Irresponsible Dad's son, and leave some feedback when you're through.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

How many friendships did you get rid of for today's holiday?
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel declared November 17 National Unfriend Day two weeks ago on his TV show "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
"Friendship is a sacred thing and I believe Facebook is cheapening it," he said.
Having 1,000 real friends is impossible, according to Kimmel, and he offered a way to determine who your real Facebook friends are.
Just post a status update saying you need help moving this weekend. Anyone who responds is your friend, anyone who doesn't should be unfriended immediately.
Research seems to support Kimmel's the-fewer-friends-the-better idea. Robin Dunbar, a professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University, conducted a study on the topic. He found that the human brain is only capable of managing 150 friendships at once.
There are more than 500 million active users on the Palo Alto-based social network. Even 92 percent of U.S. babies under two years old are online, so it's no surprise there might be a few unnecessary friends floating around.
"Cut out some of the friend fat in your life," Kimmel said.
But before you do, review CNET's seven things to consider before Facebook unfriending. Rule number one is to "keep watch on your frenemies."

Jacksonville council makes plans to fix costly ADA violations
Settlement with ADA has $5.6 million budgeted through 2015
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville City Council says they will begin making necessary changes in settling violations associated with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Channel 4 has covered stories in the past about Jacksonville residents who said the city is not accessible enough for the handicapped.
Penny Price, like many others, told Channel 4 last year how difficult it is for a disabled person to get around Jacksonville.
"They can't let me off at the bus stop," Penny Price told Channel 4's Jim Piggott in November 2012. "They have to pull up to the little side street or a little parking area to let me get off the bus, because if I get off there, I can't get off the sidewalk."
"So they need to make some changes?" asked Piggott.
"Yeah, they do," said Price.
As Channel 4 began asking residents their take, more and more people came forward with complaints.
"These two-story apartment buildings, like I've been invited to my cousin's house, it's on the second floor," said disabled resident Ronald Johnson. "The only way I can get up is to scoot up."
"The hardest thing is to control these doors when they don't have an automatic door for the door we can go in, because you can't control this chair," said disabled resident Bobby Smith.
On Thursday, the City of Jacksonville said they have settled the issue with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and will begin making necessary changes.
"This is how the government should work," said Jacksonville General Counsel Cindy Laquidara. "There was a problem brought to the city's attention as well as lack of compliance with ADA. For multiple years, not just the present."
Laquidara said the city will start making changes at places like the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, City Hall, the downtown library and Metropolitan Park. The city said they will also be repairing a lot of sidewalks that are in desperate need of repair.
"It has been an unwieldy process because with such a large city, we have 3,200 miles of sidewalks and 400-something buildings that have to be reviewed," said Laquidara.
Original estimates were that Jacksonville taxpayers would need to pay $37 million for these upgrades, but the settlement with the ADA only has $5.6 million budgeted through 2015.
"In past years, the city has failed to ensure the work has been in compliance with ADA," said Laquidara. "There's nothing you can do about that except fix those past years, and put a process in for solving it in the future."

The future of libraries, Paris Syndrome, and more...
Many thanks to those of you were able to attend my Reddit AMA live. For those who were unable to attend, I'll be sharing a selection of questions and answers over the next couple of weeks. To view the entire AMA, please click the above link.
Q. Do you have any thoughts about the future of libraries to share?
A. On nights when I cannot sleep, i dream that I'm stepping into a massive, ancient enchanted library. Cobwebs everywhere. Candelabras, too. And that for me is the greatest human achievement — a massive ancient library. As for their future: I hope libraries will continue forever. i'm certainly collecting books with as much zeal as ever.
Q. From what I understand Paris syndrome seems to mostly affect Japanese visitors to Paris. Does this happen with other cultures and people visiting other cities often? Has there been enough research in this area to determine that? Read more
