How Creative Is Their Approach? | Opportunity For Hands-On Fieldwork? | Involvement in Faculty Research Activities? | Labs Relevant To Your Research Interests? | Avenues Beyond A Master's Degree? | Opportunities To Connect With Thought Leaders? | Preparation For Niche Fields?
Biomedical engineering is the cutting edge practice of applying engineering principles to solve challenges in the field of human health. With opportunities ranging from medicine to technological design, a graduate degree in bioengineering opens the door to a career that changes lives through the blend of technology and ingenuity.
The interdisciplinary nature of a career in biomedical engineering allows you to focus your passion for multiple subjects, and makes refining your choice of educational institution all the more significant. e constantly evolving nature of the field means that to remain relevant in a developing industry, your school of choice must also be willing to develop and evolve.
Choosing the right graduate school for your career path will prove to be one of the most critical decisions in your growth as a biomedical engineer.
In its simplest form, biomedical engineering is any career that works through the union of medicine and engineering. Encompassing a vast collection of careers, it ranges from designing new software for hospitals, to creating mechanical prosthetic devices, to teaching biomedical engineering itself.
The qualities of a potential biomedical engineer begin with an understanding and passion for engineering. This passion is expanded upon through exploration during your graduate degree, developing clinical knowledge, dedication to medicine, and an extensive ability for communication. Whether you are collaborating with fellow researchers or helping a patient learn new technologies, your career is expanded by your sharing of knowledge. As new developments are constantly in progress, effective communication is essential to move this process forward. To identify and understand each new problem in human health and to address that through innovative engineering, you require an environment that fosters communication and creativity. When choosing your graduate school, consider an attitude to teaching that focuses on educational development through creative thinking in biomedical engineering.
In almost every specialization of biomedical engineering, your career will involve research and development of new technologies. Your success will be dependent upon your ability to understand and create, to solve problems in the medical field with a hands-on approach. Therefore, it is essential that your education place an equally high focus not only on understanding existing knowledge, but in synthesizing new knowledge as well. That is why is the backbone of any successful biomedical engineering degree–it supplies classroom learning to real-world industry and promotes you as an industry professional even before you graduate.
Your school of choice should offer a variety of fieldwork opportunities for its students, allowing you to gain experience while developing your own skills. Fieldwork is an essential part of any post-secondary experience, but particularly in a field that requires hands-on creative development. Laboratory research and mentorship opportunities allow you to explore your own interests in bioengineering specialization, while also allowing you to gain industry experience and establish your own studies prior to graduation.
One of the most exciting elements of a career in biomedical engineering is the constant development of new practices and technologies. Every day reveals a deeper understanding of human health, and brings forth a host of new problems that must be addressed. In a field that never stays still, it is essential that education evolve at an equally demanding rate. Instruction in biomedical engineering is far from simply studying a textbook–it requires professors who can offer lecture material that is up to date and relevant to each new development in the industry. To fulfill this capability, professors of biomedical engineering are often active researchers themselves. They have the ability to share their unique findings with students and help them develop their own creative processes. Through this cutting-edge blend, professors ensure their students are inherently connected to the constantly evolving industry of .
The combination of active research professors and real industry professionals certifies that students remain constantly involved in all aspects and discoveries in the biomedical engineering community.
If hands-on research is essential to a graduate degree, then the quintessential graduate school must offer facilities that go above and beyond. The specific nature of research facilities will depend on your desired specialization, and will ideally offer the opportunity to explore a variety of possibilities in your field. Within the scope of biomedical engineering, there are several facilities that are essential to a comprehensive graduate research experience.
Clinical biomedical engineering research labs form the foundation of professors facilities. Within these walls, you will conduct a variety of experiments to expand your understanding of the professors field. Microscopy and advanced imaging instrumentation help you develop more sensitive material, while photonics, lasers, and various bioactive materials allow for specialized research.
An inherent passion for improving the human condition is the driving force behind biomedical engineering, and that passion is developed through education to realize a fulfilling career. The process begins at the undergraduate level, and continues with a graduate degree to discover your specialized interests. A graduate degree in biomedical engineering opens many doors, from careers with biomedical and pharmaceutical companies to clinical engineering positions in health care facilities. For those who wish to continue their development, the pursuit of a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering offers the final step to advanced research careers. A presents career opportunities that center around research and development in more sensitive arenas, including academic and government settings.
The advantages of continued education in the biomedical engineering field are another valuable factor when considering possibilities for graduate school. Not only does the option for further education mean the convenience of continuing at your current post-secondary institution, it also reflects an attitude towards the highest standards of education. The ability to offer Ph.D.-level instruction means your institution has the facilities and faculty to support high-level research and education, the benefits of which are felt at the graduate level as well.
The educational environment of the graduate program instills the attitude that post-secondary education is more than a curriculum, it is career mentorship that fosters creative problem solving. This attitude is invaluable at the Ph.D.-level, during which the ability to create individual research formulae is the foundation of the degree and subsequent career path. The ability to provide the highest degree of learning is a benefit felt at all levels of education and ensures students the opportunity to pursue their passion in an environment that stimulates an individual creative approach.
While graduate programs remain the essential factor when choosing a post-secondary institution, it is the opportunities available outside the classroom that provide a rounded and enriching educational experience. Involvement in academic organizations allows you to develop personal interests, and create a healthy work-life balance that ultimately allows you to perform better in your academic research. These organizations can also be an important platform for building a network of professional relationships with top biomedical engineers that can guide and support your biomedical engineering career. Many organizations bring in alumni and industry professionals to connect with students and provide insight into post-graduate life, as well as detailing opportunities available during and after your program. When considering your post-secondary institution, be sure to factor in the presence of academic organizations within and outside your field of study to enrich your educational atmosphere.
As well as providing a more balanced experience during your studies, post-secondary organizations can also form connections that you will sustain well into your career. At Florida Tech, the campus chapter of the American Medical Student Association helps share ideas of medical fields across the country. The engineering honor society, Tau Beta Pi, provides support and develops relationships with others focused on attaining the highest standard in engineering study. These organizations help you develop professional relationships that carry over into post-graduate life, allowing you to finish school with an established network of valuable industry connections that expand and diversify your career.
As our understanding of human health and the surrounding challenges continues to improve, the variety of jobs available in the biomedical engineering fields expands. The possibilities of study are almost endless–careers in the marketing and sales of biomedical products, designing mechanical elements such as prosthetics, even legal careers in the regulation and administration of biomedical engineering practices. The caliber of careers available expands with your education in biomedical engineering, making a graduate degree essential to applying yourself in the industry.

Design Challenge: Draw An Entertainment Center
I've decided to challenge myself to a drawing challenge. What's the best thing about challenging yourself to anything? You always win. Well, okay, maybe not ALWAYS, but regardless of wining or losing, challenges like these always help you grow. Additionally, practice makes
perfect you better!
So, while I do not consider myself to be a designer by any means, I do find that Sketch is intuitive enough to help me stitch together circles, squares, and color to be able to make objects that people will hopefully recognize.
This week, I've kicked off the challenge by creating something in Sketch every morning.
The rules are as follows:
- Draw the first thing that comes to mind in the morning.
- Do not spend more than 15 minutes - use the pomodoro technique.
- Publish on Dribbble.
The first thing I thought of this morning was an Entertainment Center.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you with:
"Entertainment Center"
You can also watch the YouTube tutorial I made on how I created this Entertainment Center.

Solid Customer Experience and Trust Are Key in Growing eCommerce
Aug 19, 2015
eCommerce has evolved from a novelty, since its inception with the World Wide Web some 20 years ago, to a practical and ubiquitous channel. It has replaced faxes, paper catalogs, and to a considerable extent, in-person purchases. Entertainment and travel have become digitized, replacing music and video stores and ticket agents. eCommerce has made considerable inroads in bricks-and-mortar retailing, enabled by faster, more reliable, and cost effective fulfillment and shipping. It now sets the pace in retail, with stores often becoming showrooms, i.e. "showrooming", for online purchases and handling customer deliveries and returns.
However, a new Frost & Sullivan paper, "Enabling Successful eCommerce for Small Midsized Businesses", warns that eCommerce is running into roadblocks that threaten to impede its growth. The report points out online sales conversions continue to be low, particularly on mobile devices, as compared with bricks-and-mortar retail. Consumers generally appear to obtain information online, then shop in-person, i.e. "webrooming", or if they buy online they do so on a laptop or desktop computer.
There are several reasons for these developments. First, online shopping still has a ways to go before it can provide an excellent Customer Experience, as one would come across buying in person. Many sites are still not "eCommerce friendly" through poor design and navigation. In addition, there is still not yet the degree of knowledgeable and personable "can I help you" commonly found through web sites as there are in stores. Oftentimes customers know more about the products than the agents, which does not help with customer relationships. Too many retailers make it difficult to shop with mobile devices, as the information is often hard to find on sites accessed through them. And all too many companies process returns slowly.
As a result, too many customers abandon online shopping carts, or shop once and never return or as often. But some items, particularly those that are customizable and high-touch, will never be popular online.
Secondly, many retailers have still not grasped the need to provide or have successfully executed truly omni-channel Customer Experiences, with consistent information and service to customers across all channels. Each touchpoint, whether chat, phone agents or store clerks, must have the same and latest exchanges, interactions, and comments with and by customers.
Third, eCommerce is only as good as its people. Companies must have excellent compensation, fair hours, and quality management to attract and retain high quality, helpful, motivated, and professional staff.
Finally, and most critically, there is the issue of trust with eCommerce. Customers trust that the products they ordered are going to be delivered to them on time, damage free, with their payments handled securely, their returns taken care of promptly, and with excellent service at each step.
However, all too often the eCommerce chain breaks down. Some of the problems include items not matching the descriptions, the wrong items being sent, deliveries left unattended and unsigned for, sent to wrong addresses, and stolen or broken goods. Sometimes delivery drivers fail to note the names and addresses of the persons signing for the items or whom they delivered them to. Or they take up passing individuals' offers to deliver the packages, accepting at face value their statements that they know the recipients, not realizing that these people may be thieves. This makes investigations by the customers or shippers (the retailers) almost impossible to conduct and conclude.
Nonetheless, there are methods that can help avoid or minimize these issues. For example, delivery companies can require receivers to show tracking numbers, record their names and addresses, and verify their identities.
But the best solution is for all parties in the eCommerce chain to look at their processes and ask themselves and their partners: "how can we make this experience better for the customers?" In short look at eCommerce from the customers' POVs: such as when they buy online. With these insights, each market player will fully understand which tasks to execute to increase customer purchases and customer loyalty.

Tapa Cloth
Fijian tapa
I love tapa cloth and always make sure I visit the Auckland Museum in New Zealand which has a wonderful collection of Tapa Cloth as well as other Pacific islands artefacts and art. The above piece comes from Fiji, and my mother brought it back for me in 1980.It is only a section of a much larger piece. Tapa is actually the beaten bark of the mulberry tree and the designs are painted on. Once upon a time they were beaten onto the tapa with special beaters.
The piece below is Tongan tapa and I got it at the Tongan Women's Friendly Society in Auckland, which was housed in a disused church hall that looked the worse for wear on the outside. But inside was treasure- women teaching others to paint the tapa a whole room of cloths for sale some metres long and wide. None of them were signed so I cannot tell you the name of the artists, but the patterning and order of patterning was often distinctive to family groups.I bought my children a piece each which I will show another time- for like so many Pacific hand crafts this is a dying art.

Though foreign to us today, warming stones like this one have been used for centuries, and they have been made from all kinds of stone. Soapstone, however, was preferred for its ability to heat up quickly, retain the heat, and radiate it for long periods of time. For this same reason, Native Americans used soapstone to carve vessels for cooking and keeping prepared food hot.
Warming stones like this one were truly efficient and multi-functional. This one incorporates a rotating iron rod for ease in handling and use. Warming stones were generally kept near a fire or a stove, ready to be heated up at a moment's notice for warming the bed, warming one's feet, or wrapped in furs or woolen blankets and placed in a carriage or sleigh.
Though soapstone is highly resistant to heat damage, this example bears the hallmark of many years of continuous use. It is worn smooth at the edges, and a large piece has broken from one corner.
This warming stone was donated to Hennepin History Museum by Carl A. Herrick, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota from 1925 to 1952.

30. Principles of Surgical Treatment of Craniofacial Clefts
- The first chapter in these short notes titled 'Nature of Plastic Surgery' used the modern expression value-addition and then explained that this addition could either be in the form of functional improvement or a structural alteration leading to a better appearance. That chapter also discussed the word 'defect' which is commonly associated with a "lack of something essential or required" or a shortcoming. But it also added that the word defect can be understood as a blemish or an imperfection. It follows therefore that a defect can also be in the form of an excess or a deviation from what is believed to be normal.
- In that chapter titled 'Nature of Plastic Surgery' the plastic surgical activity was divided into four major categories to achieve the desired results while treating defects.
- Rearranging tissue
- Substituting tissue
- Removing tissue
- And building something where nothing or very little existed before.
- It so happens that in the treatment of craniofacial clefts these four classical principles come into play individually and often are combined together for a single clinical reconstruction.
- The example of surgical treatment of hypertelorism caused by a median cranial cleft can explain this point.
- The movement of the widely separated orbits medially is an example of rearrangement of tissue as in (a) paragraph 2 above.
- This movement is possible only when the excess dysplastic tissue in the median plane is excised as in (c) paragraph 2 above.
- The medial movement of the orbit leaves defects on the lateral side which will need substitution and is filled with bone grafts as in (b) paragraph 2 above.
- And if the hypertelorism is caused by a gap in the median plane leading to meningoencephaloceles, not only does the herniated tissue need to be repositioned in the cranial cavity but the gap in the cranium needs to be bridged and the almost undeveloped bridge of the nose might need to be built with a bone graft as in (d) paragraph 2 not to mention the excision of the excess skin envelope surrounding the meningoencephalocele as in (c) paragraph 2. Please see chapter on Hypertelorism (chapter 28).
- Having said that surgeons who treat craniofacial clefts must bear in mind that some cases are untreatable in the present state of our knowledge and craft (see case 1).
All the following photographs, except Case 2 were graciously provided from the Craniofacial Surgical practice of Nitin Mokal from Mumbai. Photographs of Case 2 were provided by Rajeev Redkar, Paediatric surgeon from Mumbai.
Case 1
Perhaps some reconstruction of the ear might be possible but overall nothing significant can be achieved to improve his face.
At the other extreme reproduced below in case 2 are photographs of an innocuous looking nasal cyst which is in fact a dermoid with an intracranial origin as shown by the MRI and a probe appearing intracranially through a track leading in the superior direction from the dermoid. Gap in the nasal bone is clearly seen. The intracranial gap was closed surgically by a transcranial approach and the dermoid was also excised.
Case 2
Several examples of craniofacial clefts which have been treated are given below but they are not numbered because the treatment is not determined by the number of the cleft but by its pathological anatomy. Also because the previous chapter (29) on classification of craniofacial clefts has more than one classification and the numbers don't match in the two classifications.
Case 3
Case 4
These two examples show an anatomical approximation of the lip including its muscles. The deformity of the nose has been self-corrected by way of the approximation and not by any surgical work on the nose itself.
Case 5
This cleft has been repaired with muscle approximation and with a Z-plasty in the skin envelope. The movement of the lip towards the midline has brought together the nasal skeleton which was symmetrical but was spaced apart. The philtral dimple is now occupied by a scar and it is likely that the dimple cannot be recreated as in a standard cleft lip repair. The lowermost picture on the right side shows a late follow up.
Case 6
This cleft mainly in the nose, also shows a mis-matched vermilion. The nose has been treated by a flying bird incision and a sequestrated dermoid like tissue at the root of the nose has been excised. The MRI did not show any gap in the cranial bone. After the dermoid was excised, lower and upper alar cartilages were mobilized to facilitate their approximation after a nasal bone osteotomy (infracture). A right angle iliac crest bone graft has been used to increase the height of the nose. The vermilion mismatch has been treated with an elliptical excision of the skin as well as the vermilion to bring together two equal cylinders of the lip for symmetry.
Case 7
Similar case as in the previous example. This case has received a costal osteocartileginous graft to the nose.
Case 8
This cleft involving the lip and the lower eyelid on the left side has been treated with multiple Z-plasties without any import of tissue. A medial canthal repair will follow.
Case 9
This cleft has been treated on the surface by multiple Z-plasties but the middle picture shows a linear streak of local skin being used for a reconstruction of the naso-lacrimal duct from the medial punctum of the left lower eyelid and was invaginated into the area of the turbinate.
Case 10
This right lateral cleft arising from the oral commissure has been treated with approximation of the divided orbicularis oris creation of the oral sphincter and then a Z-plasty on the skin. Late post-operative results show a pleasing result and normal oral opening.
Case 11
A similar lateral cleft as in the previous example but in its more restrictive and severe form has been treated with multiple Z-plasties both on the skin as well as the mucosa in view of its intra-oral extent.
Case 12A
Case 12B
Case 12C
Case 12D
Case 12E
Case 12F
Case 13
In this cleft there is an abnormality in the eyebrow which has been corrected by a Z-plasty.
Case 14
In this bilateral cleft the lip has been radically mobilized on the left side, less so on the right side and Z-plasties have been employed from available adjacent skin to fill in the gaps. Please note that some ectropion of the lower eyelid on the left side persists and will probably need some kind of skin substitution as the child grows older. As is known because the ectropion is in the lower eyelid no adverse effects are seen in the eyeball.
Case 15
This craniofacial anomaly usually called bilateral hemifacial microsomia (which has been described in an earlier chapter) is a "non-cleft" craniofacial anomaly arising from the same embryological etiology of non-development of parts or processes which join together to form the face. The patient also has deformities of the ears which is a part of this syndrome. The mandible is severely retruded leading to poor occlusion and a very short face in the anterio-posterior dimension in the lower half. The pictures reproduced here show mandibular osteotomy (done on both sides) before distraction is begun which continues for several months. The illustration also includes x-rays to show the gap in the mandible which automatically got filled with new bone. The later pictures show the mandibular distraction having been completed the mandible now matches the maxilla with good occlusion. Reconstruction of the ear will follow.

Information on Inheritance Tax
Your family solicitor will advise you properly as you write or revise your Will. Your estate (property, money and possessions) may be subject to Inheritance Tax at 40% if it is above the current thresholds, unless you leave it to your spouse or civil partner. However, leaving a gift in your Will to a charity like Link is not subject to inheritance tax at all and so can substantially reduce any inheritance tax due on your estate if it is above the inheritance tax thresholds. Furthermore, if you were to leave 10% of your estate or more to Link, the rate of inheritance tax charged on the rest of your estate which passes to friends or family could be reduced to 36% under special new rules for Wills which include a legacy to charity.

When our friend, Felissa, asked if we wanted to be her plus one to the Valentino party, we said yes faster than Paris Hilton draws a crowd in Tokyo. Who wouldn't want the chance to rub elbows with the much-loved, recently retired designer and his adoring celebrity fans? Only catch? We only had 27 hours to prepare for the fete.
We pride ourselves on our ability to get dressed quickly for any occasion, though typically all we need is a lot of black eyeliner, our favorite pair of dressy jeans and our sky high Jimmy Choos. This was a different level all together–the invite said "dress to impress: Formal attire required." Oh, and did we mention that we're on a tight budget? There would be no running to Bergdorf's to drop a cool grand or more on the perfect dress.
Inspired by Serena's look at the fictional white party on the premier of Gossip Girl, we decided to rock out our basic black Laundry halter dress that was hanging in the back of our closet with some Grecian accessories.
We already had the Jennifer Behr headband, we just needed right jewelry. We headed to NYC's 6th Ave around 28th street to wholesale jewelry stores. We found the perfect layered ring and faux pearl bracelet for a grand total of $20. The gold BCBG shoes we already had in our closet have would have to do, after all, we were wearing a long dress anyway.
Next up was the hair: Marguerite at Bumble & Bumble squeezed us in for an emergency appointment. She understood the look we were going for instantly. She first blew our hair out straight, focusing on the roots for volume and used tons of Bumble & Bumble Thickening Spray. We could feel our hair expanding as she worked her magic. Next, using liberal amounts of Bumble & Bumble Does it All Hairspray, she curled our hair into loose ringlets. For the final step, she teased the crown of head so would have volume in the back of headband.
Here's the final result. We think we hit the mark we were going for fairly well. A friend did ask if we were going for the Blair Waldorf look. At least she had the right show!

As you'll see from this picture of the flag flying from the front porch of the Manse tonight, Raymond and I are anticipating tomorrow, July 1 – Dominion Day, as I like to call it. Evidently some of our neighbours here in Queensborough are too, because they put on a nice little fireworks display just a few minutes ago. When I went out to take a picture of our flag, that nostalgic scent of post-fireworks smoke was in the air.
I love fireworks!
But there's another thing that lights up a summer night that I love even more, and that is fireflies. I remember how magical it seemed to me as a kid, seeing them on a summer evening here at the Manse or up at the family farm in Haliburton County, where we always spent July in those days. I think the reason they seem so magical is because they are so ephemeral: now you see them, now you don't. Or at least, you don't see them in the place where you saw them just a second before; you may instead see them a few inches or feet away. It is delightful to watch.
I'd been thinking about fireflies in the past few days, after coming across a random reference to them in a book. What I was thinking was how many years it had been since I'd seen one, doubtless due to my urban-living habits over the past few decades. I'd been wishing I might see some fireflies one of these evenings in quiet, dark little Queensborough.
And tonight I did! On a brief walk through the village, I saw a mysterious, brief bright light, and wondered for a half-second what it might have been. And then there was another, and another. They didn't last long, but they were most definitely there.
And so my wish was fulfilled. Something else to celebrate on Dominion Day!

Generally, I have a pretty firm rule about not reading books that are updated versions of classics. However, a friend told me that this book was highly enjoyable. Turns out she was right.
It's a tricky thing, updating a book like Pride and Prejudice (which is also one of my favorite books of all time), but author Curtis Sittenfeld pulls it off with aplomb. She move the action to Cincinnati, Ohio, in the 2010s, and all the favorite characters are here: the Bennet family, the Bingleys, Catherine de Bourgh, and, of course, Fitzwilliam Darcy. But in the process of updating, she comes up with believable reasons for the five Bennet girls to not be married, and gives them contemporary personalities that have the heart of the classic Bennet girls as well.
Mrs. Bennet is here, of course, fluttering and annoying everyone in her path, and also with a bit of a shopping addiction that, combined with her husband's recent heart surgery while uninsured, has left them in dire financial straits (and their marriage in questionable shape). Jane and Liz have developed careers (Jane as a yoga instructor, Liz as a writer) that have allowed them to move to New York City, while Mary is a perpetual student, and Lydia and Kitty are flighty, shallow young women who focus on CrossFit and avoiding carbs while living their lives on their phones. Jane and Liz return to Cincinnati to help when their father is hospitalized. Suddenly they learn that a highly attractive young doctor is moving to town, having become famous from being on the reality TV series Eligible (think: The Bachelor). And all the mayhem begins.
What's so enjoyable about this book is its clear fondness for the source material, and also its respect for it. Even while updating (and the reality TV concept is just kind of brilliant), it holds close to the emotions and emotional progression of the original. Sittenfeld is a hilarious writer and is very adept at bringing Austen's wit into the 21st century.
And while I won't give spoilers, Sittenfeld also updated the ending in a way that gives the book a more feminist approach, and also doesn't leave Mary out as the sad sack of the Bennet family. Well done, Curtis Sittenfeld.

Record in Fights Going 12 Rounds: 8-4
Notable Wins: UD12 Pernell Whitaker, TKO8 Julio Cesar Chavez, TKO11 Fernando Vargas
Notable Losses: MD12 Felix Trinidad, KO9 Bernard Hopkins, SD12 Floyd Mayweather Jr.
This bout is fittingly billed as The Dream Match, because until earlier this year, there was no reason to think these two multi-divisional champions would ever be in the ring together. But when Floyd Mayweather's unexpected retirement erased De La Hoya's lucrative rematch, this fight took its place as the biggest fight possible in the current boxing landscape.
Like Mayweather, Pacquiao is considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers on the planet today. His dazzling combination of speed and power has helped him blast his way by opponents from 112 to 135 pounds, and his defense has made vast improvements under the tutelage of Freddie Roach.
De La Hoya is also a former titleholder at 130 and 135 pounds, but that's where the similarities end. He's been fighting some of the best in the world at welterweight and above since before this decade started, raising the very legitimate question of whether he'll simply be too big for Pacquiao.
With the Golden Boy enjoying large advantages in height, reach and pure bulk, his patented left hook looms as a larger threat that it has in most of his last half-dozen fights. He figures to be facing a significant disadvantage in pure hand speed, so he'll be relying on his unquestioned boxing skills and the wisdom gained in dozens of previous world title fights.
Facing his biggest challenge both figuratively and literally, Pacquiao says he feels fast and strong despite bulking up to fight two weight classes higher than he's ever fought before. If his quickness rules the day or his power translates to 147, he'll stand a very real chance of coming out on top and adding another entry to an already impressive resume.
Pacquiao's Winning Strategy: Speed Kills
Some of Manny's supporters seem to think he'll be so blindingly fast that Oscar won't be able to lay a glove on him. That seems unlikely though, as his style has always been more seek-and-destroy than stick-and-move.
Regardless, Pacquiao's speed is still his primary weapon and his biggest key to victory. He'll have to be busy enough on the outside to neutralize De La Hoya's jab and let his hands go once he gets inside.
Since he's used to scoring knockouts, he'll also have to face up to the fact that his foe has been hit by much bigger men and may be able to take his best shots. That means the quantity, and not quality, of punches landed will likely punch Manny's winning ticket.
And since speed applies to more than just hands, Pacquiao will be in good shape if he uses his legs as well. He's not going to jump in and out, but he can use good movement around the ring to his benefit against the older De La Hoya.
De La Hoya's Winning Strategy: Size Matters
With the exception of an overmatched Ricardo Mayorga, De La Hoya hasn't been a serious knockout artist for at least five years. That won't be the case against Pacquiao, as Oscar's relative size and power have to be respected.
The Golden Boy may find that he's taking two punches to set up one, but it's what he does with that one that matters. De La Hoya will look to jab while Pacquiao is coming in and use hooks to the head and body once he gets there.
Anyone who thinks Pacquiao will prove too difficult to track down need only think back to De La Hoya's close loss to Mayweather, who possesses similar offensive gifts but has many more subtle defensive moves. There will be occasions where Manny is there to be hit, and Oscar will need to make him pay.
To make this strategy most effective, ring generalship will also be important. That shouldn't be a problem for De La Hoya, who's been facing top-notch competition for more than a decade and knows more than a little bit about cutting off the ring.

How do you see Nacho, who had some success with JMM against Manny, affecting Oscar's ability to pull off a victory?
How about Roach having already worked a camp with Oscar, helping Manny exploit weaknesses in Oscar?

This is one thing I have to see before I die. It's a true natural wonder.
When you look at things like this, it's so easy to understand how earlier civilisations believed in Gods and Spirits.
The Vikings believed that Bifröst, a burning rainbow bridge, spanned between Midgard (the human world) and Asgard (the land of the Gods). It is protected by the god Heimdallr from the jötnar (giants). Look and sound familiar?
I have a huge fascination in mythology and ancient beliefs and stories, with the majority of it in and around the Norse, Germanic and Celtic (but not specifically Irish) beliefs. But this is due to my ancestry. I just love the way ancient people would build their faiths and beliefs around the natural world, without feeling the need to change anything and just accepting things.
If anyone else shares this passion with me, please feel free to comment, suggest anything to investigate and read up on, or just your favourite fairy tales (non-Disney versions, if you please!)

Justin Bieber's Mom Pushing Hard For Reconciliation With Selena Gomez, Believes She's 'A Good Influence'
Justin Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, has been pushing hard for the Baby singer to reconcile with his on-again/off again girlfriend, Selena Gomez, as she firmly believes the 20-year-old Disney darling is a good influence on her son, and will help keep him on the straight and narrow, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
"Justin's mom has always been very close to Selena, and she's impressed by what a good influence she's been on her son," a source tells Radar. "Pattie's been pushing hard for Justin to get back with Selena. However, Selena doesn't want to associate with the crowd Justin's been hanging out with lately as she thinks they're not to be trusted.
"And, with good reason, as it was one of Justin's supposed friends who recently sold photos of him allegedly smoking weed. Selena is very careful who she spends time with and is very suspicious of people she doesn't know – she doesn't want to be with Justin all the time as he's surrounding himself with what she thinks are really shady people. Pattie believes though that if Selena would just get back together again with Justin she could soon get him back on the straight and narrow."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, rumors are flying that Selena and Justin may already be giving love another try, after Gomez was spotted leaving the young singer's home early Saturday morning.
After her walk of shame, the pretty brunette, clad in a yellow cardigan, pink sneakers and a black hat, kept her face hidden from cameras as she loaded a suitcase into her car, with the help of Bieber's bodyguard.
Selena's sleepover with her 18-year-old ex is believed to be the first time the couple has seen each other in a month. The young lovebirds broke up in early December before reconciling just before Christmas for a ski vacation.
However, they split once again in early January, and Gomez recently said she has been "having a good time" since the break-up.
Meanwhile, Justin has also been enjoying the single life and reportedly pursuing a variety of women.
So, that given, is it likely that Justin's mom will get her dream of the two living happily ever after – together?
"I seriously doubt Justin and Selena will ever get back together for good," the source says. "They fight non-stop over just about everything. Selena has a problem with Justin's choice of friends and serious trust issues with him."

Among a few RDBMS, MySQL and PostgreSQL are exceptionally well known with rich arrangement of organization tools and programming APIs. Be that as it may, the PostgreSQL has a few essential advantage over MySQL:
- it is completely agreed to ANSI SQL standard
- Works with a few models of ordering
- provides nonconcurrent submit
- supports both synchronous and nonconcurrent replication
This is one of the reason that numerous business and associations lean towards moving their databases from MySQL to Postgres.
When all is said in done, the movement of database incorporates the accompanying advances:
– Extract table definitions from the source MySQL database in type of DDL SQL statements
– Convert these statements into the goal arrangement and load into the objective database
– Export data from MySQL database into a middle storage (for instance, csv documents)
– Transform the data as per the goal arrangement and load it into Postgres database
– Extract sees, stored techniques and triggers from MySQL database in type of SQL statements and source code
– Convert these statements and source code into the goal arrangement and load into PostgreSQL database
– Check that all database objects have been converted legitimately
The Process of moving database from MySQL to Postgres requires a great deal of work when it's set physically. Additionally, it accompanies a high danger of loss of data or debasement because of human factor. It is prudent to utilize devoted programming that empowers you to automate the change technique.
One of those tools incorporates MySQL to PostgreSQL made by Intelligent Converters; A product organization that has some expertise in offering answers for database change, relocation and synchronization since 2001. Their MySQL to Postgres converter conveys marvelous execution (around 10,000 records for every second of normal present day framework) because of direct perusing and composing of data with no middleware libraries or segments. The product bolsters each variant of MySQL and PostgreSQL including cloud arrangements. It likewise offers order line form that automate and calendar database transformation.
Do you have to move just certain records to the goal database? Don't worry about it, the tool permits to channel data through SELECT inquiries. With this choice, it is conceivable to choose specific segments and records or even change the data previously converting it into PostgreSQL organize. Here is a couple of cases of utilizing this component for various purposes.
- Filtering records: SELECT * FROM TheTable WHERE IdColumn< 300
- Select and rename singular sections: SELECT col1 AS LastName, col2 as CellPhone FROM TheTable
- Skip NULL esteems: SELECT * FROM TheTable WHERE Details IS NOT NULL
In some cases it is important to change section compose in the subsequent database. For this reason MySQL to PostgreSQL converter gives highlight called "custom section mapping". It is a discourse window that permits to change name, type, default esteem and NULL-property for any segment of table and in addition reject certain segments from transformation.
In the event that the objective PostgreSQL server does not permit remote association, the program gives choice to export the data into SQL content. In this approach source database is exported into nearby document containing SQL-statements to make tables with all lists and limitations and fill them with the data. At that point database administrator can import the content document to PostgreSQL server the standard tools like psql or phpPgAdmin.

If you're the proud owner of a new Xbox One console, you might want to share your pro skills with everyone on the internet. Here's how to record Xbox One gameplay footage.
Next-generation consoles have arrived and you're eager to capture you're mad gaming skills and get them onto the net for all to see. Whether it's that perfectly timed headshot, peachy goal or impossible lap you want to share, here's our guide to recording, editing and sharing gameplay footage on the Xbox One.
See also: How to stop the display juddering when you are watching UK TV via the Xbox One
How to record, edit and share Xbox One gameplay footage
You'll be pleased to head that the Xbox One needs no extra equipment to record your gameplay – thanks Microsoft!
All you need to do is say "Xbox, record that" and the console will grab the last 30 seconds of action and store it for editing later using the Game DVR function. A notification will pop up telling you that it's been successful.
Although the Xbox One will only grab the last 30 seconds by default, the console actually always records the previous five minutes. Using the Game DVR feature you can select 30 seconds, 45 seconds, one minute, three minutes, or five minutes.
Read: Should I buy a next-gen console: Is the PS4 and Xbox One worth it?
Download the free Upload Studio apps (1GB) and here you can edit your video. You can trim it, add picture-in-picture footage from the Kinect, add Kinect videos before or after your clips or crate a video consisting of up to five clips.
As you might expect, the Upload Studio allows you to, well, upload your nicely edited clip for others to see. You can pop it onto Xbox Live for your friends and followers to watch or alternatively send it to your SkyDrive. From here you can upload it to wherever you like – Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc.
Limitations and alternatives
There are limitations to using the Xbox One itself to record, edit and share your gameplay footage. The main two are the video length maximum and the fact it's compressed so doesn't look all that great. You also need an Xbox Live Gold subscription.
If you're in need of more freedom then you'll have to splash out on some dedicated recording hardware such as the Elgato Game Capture HD or Roxio Game Capture HD Pro.

Last Saturday I entertained in South Croydon. It was a one year old party for a wonderful family. They had rented a big hall and lots of friends and relatives came together. I entertained a huge bunch children of mixed ages. With help from the kids the magic went really well and the adults got involved too! Later I organised the children with some games and music.
The younger children wanted balloon animals and photos were taken including some with Micky my magical white rabbit. A great family atmosphere, everyone had a great time. I love being a children's entertainer because I meet so many new people and love to see them have a great time and enjoy themselves.
Fun and laughter are a universal language. Over the years I have seen people celebrating according to their different cultures and traditions. I feel enriched by these experiences. I value all the things that we share as a human race: love, family, friendship and celebrations that mark a milestone in life like birthdays. One year old parties are great celebrations of life which always uplift me.
Just add a little magic with Tricky Toby!

Forecast: Showery Today; Dry Weather Thereafter
Cooler today and Friday; moderating by weekend
* Potholes in Paradise | Bob Ryan Challenged to Climate Debate
(Note exchange between Ryan and challenger Brian Valentine in the comment area...) *
* Later: AccuWeather's Hurricane Outlook and Fog Photography *
Today: Cloudy & showery. Mid-to-upper 50s. | Tonight: Evening showers? Mid-30s. | Tomorrow: Partly sunny & cooler. Upper 40s. | Tomorrow Night: Clear and chilly. Near 30. | A Look Ahead
A cold front scooting through the area today will foster overcast skies and occasional showers. Unfortunately for our increasingly dry region, which has seen less than a quarter the normal amount of precipitation so far this month, no more than a couple tenths of an inch of rain is expected today. High pressure building in on Friday, coupled with cold air coming in from the north, will hold temperatures only in the chilly 40s. Temperatures moderate nicely over the weekend, however, with dry weather expected through at least Monday.
Today (Thursday): Much like yesterday morning, you'll wake up to cloudy skies today; however, unlike yesterday, they'll last the entire day and be accompanied by periodic showers, never heavy in nature, but probably most widespread from mid-morning through mid-afternoon. High temperatures will reach the mid, to perhaps upper, 50s across the region. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Some scattered showers or sprinkles may linger into the evening hours tonight, but I think they'll largely be out of the area by around midnight. We'll see some clearing towards dawn, with overnight lows dropping to the mid-30s in most spots. Confidence: Medium-High
Keep reading for the improving forecast through early next week...
Tomorrow (Friday): As Dan aptly suggested yesterday, conditions on Friday will unfortunately appear to be more pleasant from the inside looking out than they'll actually feel outside. That is, despite partly to mostly sunny skies, temperatures will struggle to break out of the upper 40s, with a wind from the north at 10-15 mph making it feel even chillier. Confidence: High
Tomorrow Night: Clear skies will allow temperatures to drop to levels nearly 10 degrees below normal for this time of the year. That means as you head out during the evening hours expect temperatures to fall from the low 40s to the upper 30s, with overnight lows eventually dropping to near or below freezing area-wide: upper 20s in cooler spots to the low 30s downtown. Confidence: High
With dry weather, abundant sunshine, and temperatures moderating back to near- (Saturday) to above-normal levels (Sunday), the weekend looks quite pleasant overall -- a vast improvement over last weekend's dreary conditions, I'd say.
If you're making weekend plans, I can tell you that Saturday will feature brilliant blue skies (nary a cloud in sight) with temperatures continued a bit on the chilly side: low 50s should about do it for afternoon highs. Clear skies will allow for more rather brisk conditions Saturday night -- a medium-weight jacket advised -- with temperatures eventually dropping to 30-35. Confidence: Medium-High
A somewhat milder push of air on Sunday will bring temperatures back to slightly above normal levels once again along with a continued plethora of sunshine. I think afternoon highs will make a run for the 60 degree mark across most of the area; we may even see some low 60s in spots, especially to the south. Clear and not quite as chilly Sunday night with overnight lows ranging from the upper 30s across the cooler suburbs to the low 40s downtown. Confidence: Medium-High
The forecast for Monday looks quite nice, too, with continued mostly sunny skies and afternoon high temperatures again near 60 in most places. Overnight lows will be in the 40s. Confidence: Medium

Man I picked the wrong day to do some geocaching. Should have done it yesterday.
I do have to say however, a little late night visit to Lake Frank here in Rockville was very nice. Nice temptress, partly cloudy skies, perfect star gazing weather. The fish were jumping quite a bit while I was there too, going to have to start thinking about getting that fishing gear ready.

Rain is light and apparently falling from ca. 8,000 ft. This is now predicted to be 0.10" or less and thereafter it will be dry until next Wed. or so. My guess is that the next heavy rain might be Friday the 27th; I have a dance at the Elks Lodge that evening!
The only frontal passage after today will be a dry backdoor cold front Sunday night.
Channel 9's weather this noon was cut back due to the impending NCAA basketball tournament. The Maryland and AU games of local interest are later today.

Facebook provides sneak peek inside new Iowa center
"We're making great progress and are right on track with the construction of our new data center in Altoona. We expect to begin serving user traffic in early 2015," reads the new post from Facebook.
You can see the new photos posted here.
One photo shows the interior of the building.
"An interior view of the data hall. We are currently averaging more than 400 people per day working on the construction, and they've logged 372,000 hours on the project," reported Facebook.
In April 2013, Facebook announced plans to build the 476,000-square foot building just off Northeast 56th Street.
The finished facility will be rows and rows and rows of computer servers.
The center will be powered by renewable energy from wind turbines near Wellsburg, which is about 95 northeast of the Des Moines metro area. Facebook officials said the availability of wind energy was one of the factors in selecting Altoona for the company's data center.
Facebook owns nearly 200 acres at the data center site, and has proposed adding two more facilities like the one being built in the years ahead.

A friend told me the other day that although he read all my articles he didn't understand any of them. Not one.
Which gave me an idea …
Why not set up a new category and write a bunch of articles for people who are absolutely, completely new to the web (and possibly a bit nervous of the technology)?
Sounded like a good idea to me, so here's the first one:
How a website works.
How are web pages made up?
A web page is made up from lots of different files: pictures, text, diagrams and so on.
When you surf the Internet from your PC you're using a web browser – Internet Explorer for example.
So when you look at a web page on your PC, Internet Explorer receives all these files and puts them together to display the web page as you see it.
All these files have to be stored somewhere centrally, so that anyone using the Internet can see the web page from anywhere in the world.
The place where they're stored is called a web server, or simply just a server. This is because it serves websites to people who ask to see them.
And the tool that you use to pass this request to the web server is your web browser – Internet Explorer.
Your web browser is also known as the client, because it's the party to which the server serves the files.
So what happens when you type in a link?
When you type a link into your web browser this is what happens:
Your web browser (Internet Explorer) sends a request to the web server that stores the files (1 above)
The web server looks up the page that's been asked for, collects all the files that make up that page, and then sends them all back to your web browser (2 above).
Your browser receives the files and lays them out on the screen so that the web page is displaid for you to read.
Nothing too complex there, right?
Great – you now know how web pages work.
So what about all that jargon and those abbreviations?
The base language (or code) that web browsers use is HTML. You'll hear that mentioned quite a lot.
But HTML is a pretty basic language and, actually, very simple.
So other languages (or codes) have been developed to enable more and more functionality to be built into websites.
These codes all have to work with HTML. So think of HTML as the base platform which all these other codes sit on top of.
Some of these codes use the power of the web servers to manipulate information that people visiting the web page type in. They're then able to take pre-defined actions based on the information they see.
For example, if a site is age restricted and someone types in an age that's below the limit, a language like PHP will take that age information, check it against the age limit, see that the viewer is too young and prevent them from accessing the site.
Other codes, like CSS, have been developed to improve the efficiency with which things like font styles and colour schemes are defined and displaid.
The last code type you'll hear about are scripts. These are bits of code that take the same action each time something happens.
For example, statistics on the number of visitors a site receives are often driven by scripts. Every time someone uses their web browser to look at a page which has the script on it, the script will send a message to its server telling the server there's been another page view.
So, to summarise:
- The files that make up a web page are stored on a server so they can be accessed by anyone from anywhere
- When you type a link into your web browser, it sends a request to the server. The server collects all the relevant files for that page and sends them back to the web browser
- The browser receives all these files and lays them out on your screen
- The base language that web browsers use is HTML
- Other code languages are used to add additional functionality: PHP, CSS and Scripts are the main ones, but there are lots of others and they all have to work with HTML.
Next time we'll look at another term you'll hear a lot of: FTP.

CENTRAL FLORIDA CRITTER OF THE DAY: Marsh Rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris)
Smaller than its more common cousin, the Eastern Cottontail, this bunny swims so will be found where there is water habitat. I have a healthy reproducing population of these cuties who apparently make use of the pond at night although I've yet to see them swim.
Diet: They enjoy Florida Native Plants including, but not limited to: cranesbill, plantain or bidens alba, hawkweed leaves, gallberry leaves and elephant foot leaves.

I fall in love…
It's a deep, dark pool of unknown depths,
Light shimmers on the surface, anything could be underneath...
And I fell in,
Carelessly walking too close to the edge,
Mind on other things,
I stumbled, tripped, lost my balance,
For a timeless moment grasped desperately at tendrils of air to save myself,
But they slipped away,
I toppled over,
A fleeting, panicked realisation that I was going,
Unable to save myself,
Then I struck the surface,
And plunged deep.
I fell in love.
I fall out of love…
It's a window, high set and open to the breeze,
I looked out, leaned out,
Watching what was happening out,
Outside, out there,
Resting a hand on the edge to lean further,
Till it slipped, and my centre of gravity,
Took me irrevocably over,
Snatching me away from safety and security,
With a noise of shock and fear escaping me,
And the sudden sure knowledge that 'This is going to hurt'
As my legs followed my body,
And I leave love behind.
I fell out of love.
I love…
It's not a pool, though it is deep,
It's not a window, though it is high,
You don't fall in or out, you just encounter it,
Sometimes so small you can't see it,
Sometimes so big you can't perceive it,
And always powerful,
Always amazing,
Always wonderful,
I love.
I am loved…
Thank you.
