The College News 2-615 VOL. XXV, No. 10 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1939 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1938 PRICE 10 CENTS Parallel Drawn Between Yoga And Surrealism Non - Physiological Medium Used by Both to Express Sensations MEANS OF TWO ARE SAME; AIMS DIFFER Deanery, Jan, 9.�In his lecture on Yoga and Surrealism, Dr. Spiegel- burg said that, despite the many dif- ferences between these two movements and the fact that neither claims any relation to the other, he believes a comparison would be interesting and helpful to a better understanding of both. The most important common factor is their same projection plane for psychic experiences. Both at- tempt to describe a schematic pattern of our sensations by some better vis- ual medium than that offered by physiological concepts. Pictured by Max Ernst, an embrace consists in unconnected lines whose stresses, depressions and convulsions represent the sensations as felt.with- in the embrace itself. The lines are no more connected with the shape of the human body than the sensation of "a pumpkin painfully in place of a head" is connected with ^he actual physical cause of the headache. The picture represents the surrealist's at- tempt to describe a state of sensations in a new medium which is still un- clear. In Yoga art, there also exists the description of a state of sensation in a medium other than that of physi- ology. The spinal column is not ex- pressed by vertebrae, etc., but by a series of wheels, shaped like the lotus flower, continuing up to the top of the head where the symbol frequently appears on the surface. These wheels are connected by a tube through which the serpent, or giver of life, is supposed to breathe and thereby en- dow each wheel with the power to realize its particular sensation. Many of the critics of surrealism, Dr. Spiegelburg said,, are not unlike the Indian Yogi, who, on dissecting a frog and finding that the backbone -was not in the form of lotus wheels, disclaimed Yoga art. "Realism is the dandelion blown by the woman in the front of, dictionaries." One form of Indian art, similar to that of neurotic patients, is Mandarla and consists of circles, squares and triangles drawn in a symmetric way about a center and bound in by a line. This type of art represents a mirror of the momentary state of the painter's soul. "�� Surrealism is in contradiction to such ornamental or abstract art which, resulting from some repression, "Hies Continued on Page Five \, Workers Tell Trials of New Hosiery Union Common Room, Goodhart^Hall, Jan- uary 6.�Representatives of the Girls' Division of Branch 1, of the Hosiery Workers' Union which is affiliated with the C. I. 0., and representatives of the Industrial Group of the Ger- mantown Y. W. C. A., attended the supper and discussion meeting of the Bryn Mawr Industrial Group on Fri- day evening. The Problems of New Unions was the discussion'subject, �j A knitter from a mill employing only 21 workers told how her shop was organized by her employer and the local union less than a year ago. The local union appointed a chair- man whom his fellow workers did not want. But when the local representa- tive came to hold an election^ he dis- couraged secret balloting, and the same man was elected. There had been no strong opposition because none of the workers knew any more about conducting a union than he. To date, the union has given the em- ployees nothing more substantial than promises. Anna Geisinger, who came with the Girls' Division group, gave an account of the struggles -of her union when it was new. She also gave a summary of the process of making hosiery. In 1907, Anna Geisinger said, seven men began work to interest people in the forming of a union of full fash- ion hosiery knitters. It took two years before the union was chart- ered. In 1909 girl "toppers" were taken in. Women outnumbered men five to one in this trade.

In the second semester these courses will be given by Miss Katharine Wolff, a B.A. from Swarthmore College with a certificate in music from the University of Pennsylvania, and a graduate of the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris. She was formerly a pupil of Constantine von Sternberg and Nadia Boulanger, and assistant teacher with Mile. Boulanger. The third year history and appre- ciation of uidsic will be given through- out the remainder of the year by Miss Florence Fraser (Mrs. William B. Mudge, Jr.), a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and former pupil of Natiia Boulanger and Yvette Guilbert. Facts About Faculty Children Exposed; v Reporter Identifies Campus Small Fry Dr. Boethius Shows Unclassic Forces Developed Within Imperial Rome Deanery, January 8.�In his lec- ture on the importance of the archi- tecture of imperial Rome on the Mid- dle Ages, Dr. Boethius, of Goeteberg, Sweden, stressed the fact that the un- classic forces that produced the archi- tecture of the Byzantine and Mediae- val periods developed within Imperial Rome itself. An unclassic style ap- peared first as a parallel to the con- ventional classic, and finally as its equal and Superior. The unclassic influence also shows in sculpture. Dr. Boethius illustrated this with slides of heads of Constantine, and a late Roman head from Ostia, which differ markedly from the "civically" noble style heads of Augustus. The arch of Septimus Serverus of 203 A.D. was the first public monu- ment to show traces of this changed style, although there had been earlier unsophisticated illustrative paintings on the outside of house and shop walls in Pompeii necessarily before 79 A.D. Many of the reliefs on the arch show the predominate Roman interest in narrative, and perspective and propor- tion have been almost completely sac- rificed. That this style was complete- ly self-conscious, is shown by the ap- pearance of conventional classic mo- Contlnued on Pare Four Bryn Mawr Summer School Will Move to Site on Hudson New Location at West Park Will Give Freedom to Meet Changing Needs; Board to Include More Labor Members ORIGINAL INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL BEGAN IN 1921 The v idea of a short term school for young women in industry"' to be held on the summer campus/of Bryn Mawr originated with Miss M. Carey Thomas, then President or the Col- lege, in 1921, and the organization was due to a group of college women, and women in industry whom she called together. Miss Hilda W. Smith, at that time Dean of Bryn Mawr Col- lege, resigried her college position to accept the directorship of the school, which she held until 1933, when she was appointed Specialist in Workers' Education of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. . The school has been open to .from 60 to 100 students each summer, its faculty has been drawn from many colleges and universities, and its ex- perience in the methods devised in it has been uswd by other similar schools connected with colleges and universi- ties, by workers' education in gen- eral, and in particular by the division of Workers' Education under the W. P. A. Among its 1500 students many have proved themselves intelligent and interested leaders, followers in their union organizations, therY. W. C.

There have been, including several foundations, groups 'of college undergraduates, trade Continued on Page Two SESSIONS THROUGHOUT YEAR ARE SUGGESTED Storrs to Discuss Near East Problem Sophisticated Puppets To Play at Bryn Mawr Yale Puppeteers Will Present Headline Characters if With spring here, for the time be- ing, it is appropriate to study the young things that are beginning to bloom about the campus. Tricycles, wagons, bicycles, roller skates and scooters will soon encumber the paths, propelled by a horde of faculty chil- dren. And if winter comes, we should be able to identify the marauders who hurl snowballs in the general direc- tion of us as we pass and then flee to safety behind some tree. What might be called the auntly instinct has instigated this investigation of the names and activities of the 6ff- spring of the Bryiv Mawr faculty. �. Cartreff and Ddlgelly are the usual headquarters for this category, which is chiefly feminine and under 13. The varied status of their parents pre- vents absolute statistics, but at least twenty can be counted without argu- ment. A generous list can be made from the personnel of Miss Park's spring party. This is the event of the year, and involves balloons in the garden, as well as new dresses and patent leather shoes. As of January 11, Steven Lattimore is the youngest of the faculty chil- dren and Frederika De Laguna the most illustrious. Steven was born last spring, under auspicious circum- stances for a scion of the Greek de- partment. His return from the hos- pital to Low Buildings was attended by a record-breaking thunderstorm. It struck the building and nearly ex- ^rmjnated Mrs. Wheeler of the math- ematics department, all in the best tradition of classical omens. Miss De Laguna has spent her time, before joining the faculty, in watching the arrow point to murder and other archaeological pursuits. Her return to Bryn Mawr provides an example of the good European tra- dition of parent and child on the same faculty. Philosophy, as a study of all aspects of reality, can perfectly well mother anthropology. Continued on Pare Four The Yale Puppeteers. will come to Bryn Mawr on January 13 with their production of It's a Small World, a topical musical revue written especial- ly for the puppet stage by. Harry Burnett, Forman Brown and Richard Brandon. The performance is being given for the benefit of the Eastern Pennsylvania Alumnae Regional Scholarship Fund. When the Yak Puppeteers first be- gan to plan their new production they decided to invade the field of sophisti- cated satire, a thing unheard of in this country but done for years in Europe. Forman Brown, in writing lyrics for It's a Small World, has combined the modernism of Cole Por- ter with the quaintness and liveliness of Gilbert and Sullivan. The puppeteers have chosen as their characters people in the headlines, and plan to add new personalities from time to time to keep up with current events. Among this year's cast are: Mrs. Roosevelt, singing in Eleanor blue about My Day, John L. Lewis ccVjgorting with angels, and George Bernard Shaw in heaven, Arturo Tos- canini, Martha Graham, the Lunts and Whistler's Mother, and Mrs. Harkness' baby panda. Continued on Pace Four Sir Ronald Storrs, who will lecture here on Monday, January 16, on the problem of the Near East, is unusu- ally well qualified to speak on such a subject. For almost thirty-years� from 1904 to 1932�he heldjoffice un- brokenly in Egypt, Palestine and Cy- prus, and knew intimately the char- acter of the men and policies that formed their history. He was oriental secretary in Cairo to Sir Eldon Gorst, Lord Kitchener and Sir Henry*McMahon in turn. In 1917, he was sent to Mesopotamia as political officer, and in 1918 he became the Military Governor of Jerusalem, and remained in Palestine as Civil Governor of Judea for nine years. He was then made Governor of Cyprus and held office there until 1932. In Palestine, his unparalleled op- portunities to watch the development of the conflict between the Jews and the Arabs make his discussion of the timely problem particularly absorbing. His study of Zionism in the book of memoirs called Orientation is said to be "the most picturesque and human account that has yet appeared." Besides his memoirs, Sir Ronald is the author of Handbook of Cyprus (1930) and the Chronology of Cyprus (1929). (The text of Miss Park's speech in chapel will be found on page 5 of this issue.) The Board of Directors of the Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers in Industry has taken the lease of two houses at West Park on the Hudson, New York. This an- nouncement was made following a recent meeting of the Executive Com- mittees of the Board of the Summer School and of the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr College in joint session. The Summer School will have its per- manent home at West Park, and its summer session will be held there beginning in 1939 instead of on the Bryn Mawr campus, where it has been for the last eighteen years. There will be room at the new school for about sixty-five students. To meet the desire of the Summer School Board, the school is leaving the campus in order to have its own home where not only summer but winter sessions can be held, where institutes for labor groups may meet and where, through experimentation, the school may meet the changing needs of labor. The present Board of the Summer School, including representatives of Bryn Mawr College, labor groups and faculty and students of the school will continue in office, birfthe Board will be increased to include a larger representation of labor, and a council of advisors headed by President Mar- ion Edwards Park, of Bryn Mawr Col- lege, will be appointed to widen the support and emphasise the impor- tance of the school. The director of the school will be Miss Jeaa Carter, who has been connected with the school for several years and- has been its director or associate director since 1935. At the joint meeting of the Execu- tive Committees, the Summer School Board presented the following reso- lution: � . �'..

She is also a member of the Amer- ican section of the International Conference of Social Work, to be held in Belgium, in 1940, and has been asked to be a member of the Coordinating Committee for Student Refugees, formed under the direction of the In- stitute for International Educa- tion. Deanery, January 8.�In speaking on the Basque Country, Helen Mer- cine Kelly, whose articles in the Sot- urday Evening Post are widely known, deplored the death of old Spain, which in the words of Mistral has "passed over the mountain" with its king, Al- phonso. The Basqucprovinces them- selves, though still unconquered, have suffered terribly at the hands of the Insurgents, and have sacrificed count- less women and children, who insisted on defending their country as soldiers. The Basque people are an entity, speaking French, Spanish and their own tongue, and claiming descent from the people of the island of At- lantis. It is easy to distinguish them; they are generally large, square- shouldered, and grey-eyed, different from the Spaniards in every way. They are industrious, with little pov- erty and no unemployment, rarely go to bullfights, and for their national game play la pelotte. Their songs arc usually marTh>l~and their dancing is athletic. It is not unusual to see two girls or two old women dancing with each other. They lead an extremely vigorous outdoor life, skiing, hunting and fishing in the treacherous Bay of Biscay, whose whale industry has now been replaced by sardine^Jjsh- eries.

Goodmorning everyone! Well it's already 11a, but my job scheduled me off for today. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I got to experience a little taste of warm weather the past weekend. It was beautiful in the Bay Area! Sighh..Back to the workweek and already an overcast of yucky weather, my summer has left again. Back to my calendar of penciling in and whiting out, I couldn't help but look at my 3 Day Vacation coming up in May. SO freakin' excited for that weekend, we hardly ever get anything off together. Today I start planning on our little Simple Stella Getaway. Of course, we're travelling on a budget. We're two college students who got bills to pay, so we need to find the best hotel at the cheapest price. Luckily, my sister introduced me to cheap traveling a couple of years back, and ever since I've been getting the best deals.
Last January, our trip to Vegas costs us about $200.00 per person. We flew Virgin Air for only 39.99 one way, stayed at Planet Hollywood Towers for $60.00 per night, and had free cocktails and club entry to everything. Ok, maybe because we're girls and Vegas loves to wine and dine girls. But the hotel and air fare deal were pretty good.
Our Plan
We plan on travelling to Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz, or even Los Angeles. We're both beach girls, and I was finally hoping to take the top off my Jeep Wrangler. We plan on staying up late, sleeping in, soaking up the sun at the beach, and visiting some of Yelp's best rated restaurants. My first to-do on the list?
The Hotel
(Picture courtesy of gogreentravelgreen.com)
I've been pretty spoiled as a kid staying at some really nice hotels. And it sucks when you're the one who has to start paying for everything. Thank god for PRICELINE'S Name Your Own Price. I've been able to book hotels at the Hyatt Regency, Planet Hollywood Towers, Crowne Plaza Suites, and other really nice hotels. The trick to making this work? Start at $50.00 for a three star hotel. If it's a busier day, start at $70.00. If I didn't find this little gadget, then I'd have to be staying at the local motel 6. Terrible.

Don't mind staying in another guest's home and enjoying a homemade breakfast? Airbnb.com is a place where you can find local listings to shared homes, vacation homes, or sublets. This site is awesome. There are reviews from past visitors, photos, and the prices are very affordable.
Off to seek for a cute hotel to house us girls for the weekend. If you guys have any other suggestions, feel free to let us know! -D.

Percutaneous (through the skin) urinary procedures help drain urine from your bladder and get rid of kidney stones .
A percutaneous nephrostomy is the placement of a small, flexible rubber catheter (tube) through your skin into your kidney to drain your urine.
Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (or nephrolithotomy) is the passing of a special medical instrument through your skin into your kidney. This is done to get rid of kidney stones.
Most stones pass out of the body on their own through urine. When they do not, your doctor may recommend these procedures.
During the procedure, you lie on your stomach on a table. You are given a shot of lidocaine. This is the same medicine your dentist uses to numb your mouth. The doctor or nurse may give you medicines to help you relax and reduce pain.
If you have nephrostomy only:
If you have percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (or nephrolithotomy):
The place where the nephrostomy catheter was inserted is covered with a dressing. The catheter itself is connected to a drainage bag.
Percutaneous nephrostomy; Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy; PCNL; Nephrolithotomy
Reasons to have a percutaneous nephrostomy or nephrostolithotomy are:
Percutaneous nephrostomy and nephrostolithotomy are generally safe. Ask your doctor about these possible complications:
Tell your doctor or nurse:
On the day of the surgery:
You are taken to the recovery room. You may be able to eat soon if you do not have an upset stomach.
You may be able to go home within 24 hours. If there are problems, your doctor may keep you in the hospital longer.
The doctor will take out the tubes if x-rays show that the kidney stones are gone and your kidney has healed. If stones are still there, you may have the same procedure again soon.
Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy or nephrolithotomy almost always help ease the symptoms of kidney stones. Often, the doctor is able to get rid of your kidney stones completely. Sometimes you need to have other procedures to get rid of the stones.
Most people who are treated for kidney stones need to make lifestyle changes so that their bodies do not make new kidney stones. These changes include avoiding certain foods and not taking certain vitamins. Some people also have to take medicines to keep new stones from forming.

Site The edge of a forested hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Penco, a Chilean city devastated by the February 2010 earthquake.
Program A 4,465-square-foot pavilion with an enclosed gallery, one of 10 projects by different firms intended to help the region rebuild its cultural infrastructure.
Solution The poured-concrete, flat-roofed pavilion contains two semielliptical volumes: an open-air courtyard with two entry points at the corners, and an enclosed gallery with a sliding-glass end wall overlooking the ocean. The entrance to the gallery from the courtyard occurs at the point where the two semiellipses touch. Offices, washrooms, and storage occur in the interstitial spaces between the two volumes.
Though identical in plan, the two volumes have divergent characters. The courtyard has concrete walls cast in forms made from tree trunks to give the surface a rough, scalloped texture that recalls the trees and buildings that were destroyed in the 2010 earthquake. The gallery's polished, curved wall recalls the ocean—seen beyond the glass end wall—from which a tsunami originated. Juror Joseph Rosa called the pavilion "a viewing device," and it does carefully modulate the visitor experience: The courtyard focuses attention on the sky, while the gallery's folded ceiling directs the eye toward the horizon.
It has "the simplicity of a shed, but … [with] more building there," juror Mary-Ann Ray said. And juror Cathy Simon noted that "within this context of heavily built space, the idea of the sanctuary is a positive thing."

4 Pretty much the same as ...Chuffed | 19/08/2012 | See all Chuffed's reviews (40)the first one as the previous review says lacks mini games - it does look sharper than the previous game with a better soundtrack. The collect as many coins as you can so you can be on a wordwide leader board gets boring quickly and you just want to complete the level. There are going to be some download content that you can buy for the game but again you have to BUY it and it is not free - as of yet there is nothing to be purchesed. If you had never played the previous edition for the DS you will enjoy - if you did play it you will ironically feel short changed even though the object of the game is to collect as many gold coins as possible. Still worth a place in your collection to keep you entertained until Luigis Mansion 2 and Paper Mario 2 are released later this year.
3 Fun,but slightly disappointingllrafferty | 17/08/2012 | See all llrafferty's reviews (1)Purchased this at midnight on the day of release, its very similar to new super mario bros 1 however lacks any mini games at all,which I feel is a major let down, other users cant even join in via download play. However I do like that you can play in co-op mode to complete the game with 1 other person, however again, its not possible to do through download play, both people must have a copy of the game.All in all,not a bad game, but let down on the multi user function
5 FUNTASTICneilwebster | 30/09/2012 | See all neilwebster's reviews (6)This is my favourite game on the system and whilst it may be more of the same, its the most fun experience so far on the 3ds
4 very familarcharlieboygtr | 21/08/2012 | See all charlieboygtr's reviews (1)The main issue i have is why is it on 3ds and not ds?.. The 3d is of no use at all, surely this game would have been better and sold more on ds? Anyway its typical Mario stuff, good graphics, jolly music, lots of secrets and a good co op mode. More stuff to come via download which is either good or cheeky depending on your view. Still worth 4 stars as its slick and fun but it is VERY similar to new super mario bros 1.

Kona Giveaway from Canton Village Quilt Works
Winner: Heather A said...
670 comments:
Well, I couldn't choose just one of the fabrics, so I went to the patterns, LOL. I chose The Bali Wedding Star Basic Pattern. I've always loved that one since the first time I saw it. I think I could do so many different things with that like the table runner that was made with the pattern. LOVE that pattern. It is on "THE LIST"
ReplyDeleteWell, I love my new sewing room, the former bedroom of our youngest. It is quite roomy and I seem to be getting quite a lot accomplished here! In the sewing and quilting stuff, I have a wonderfully burgeoning stash of fabric - something for my every mood: Kaffes, repros, florals, 30s, I run the gamut. I have plans for making a quilt with solids, and this giveaway would be perfect! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeletethere is not one thing I love - BUT there are hundreds! I love the Kona solids, I love her patterns, I love the feedsacks 30's prints and I normally do not like that style but when I saw them I loved them.
I have been in touch with Jackie for about 5 years now and have seen her quilting shop grow.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

quote:@elonmusk Live pack swap demo on Thurs night at 8pm California time at our design studio in Hawthorne. Seeing is believing.
quote:I love the idea of all electricity cost being baked into the upfront cost of the car.
quote:What's the importance of a battery swap?
quote:How do you purchase the electricity ahead of time? Are you talking about the use of their charging network?
quote:What's the importance of a battery swap? Can users maintain more than one battery at a time?
quote:Does tesla really produce a better car or are they just a first mover in a niche market?
quote:That's awesome....like a propane tank swap for my grill. How hard is it to swap? Didn't think of it that way. How does Tesla intend to set up the electric car charging and swap station infrastructure? Existing fueling stations? Super centers? Wonder if they can make this work for other cars too....like the Volt or the Leaf. Interchangeable batteries in the future maybe? I bet they could partner with GM or Toyota and gain that interchangeability and economies of scale in the future. I wonder how much labor is involved in a swap.
quote: According to Musk at a shareholders meeting a few weeks ago, he claims that they were going to announce a way to "recharge" the Model S's power supply faster than the average gas station fill up. I guess we'll see at the demo.
quote:looks like they have a better shot at success than Fisker now.
quote:I thought Musk was kind of foolish at first, and didn't have much faith in Tesla....looks like they have a better shot at success than Fisker now.
quote:If you can do that daily stuff without stopping, then charge overnight PLUS when you take a long trip, swap a battery like you used to stop for gas, they have a winner.

Thursday, December 13, 2012
SOMERSWORTH — The City Council unanimously passed a $1 million resolution Monday to bond for the completion of downtown infrastructure improvements, rehabilitation of the Somersworth/Berwick bridge, and replacement of HVAC units in various school buildings.
The resolution will also increase funding for the replacement of additional HVAC units throughout various school buildings at a cost of $510,000.
Apart from Resolution 18-13, the City Council also passed a resolution to establish an additional fee on motor vehicle registrations for the purpose of supporting a municipal and transportation improvement fund.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose and monitor sarcoidosis; to help differentiate this systemic condition from other disorders causing similar symptoms
When to Get Tested?
When you have granulomas that create small bumps under the skin, a lingering cough, red watery eyes, and/or other symptoms suggestive of sarcoidosis; regularly when you have active sarcoidosis to monitor its course
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the blood. ACE is an enzyme that helps regulate blood pressure. It assists in the conversion of angiotensin I (an inactive protein) to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II functions as a strong vasopressor; it causes arteries to contract, making them temporarily narrower and increasing the pressure of the blood flowing through them. ACE is produced throughout the body, but is especially concentrated in the lungs.
Increased amounts of ACE are sometimes secreted by cells found at the outside borders of granulomas. Granulomas are small tumor-like masses of immune and inflammatory cells and fibrous tissue that create bumps under the skin and throughout the body. They are a classic feature of sarcoidosis, a systemic disorder of unknown cause that often affects the lungs but may also affect many other body organs, including the eyes, skin, nerves, liver, and heart. ACE blood levels frequently increase when sarcoidosis-related granulomas develop.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Windows 8 Support
Page |
1 |
What version of Qt can we expect to work correctly with Windows 8?
Currently it seems that Windows 8 is completely ignored. It is not available in QSysInfo::WinVersion [doc.qt.nokia.com] , the wrong QStyle [doc.qt.nokia.com] is used by default (you explicitly have to set a QWindowsVistaStyle [doc.qt.nokia.com]), etc.
Best regards,
29 replies
Hello Gerolf,
Naturally it is impossible to support what is still unknown. However, it would be possible to have some preliminary/beta support for the beta releases. But to stick to your question:
why should it offizially be supported by Qt now?
As you might have heard, Qt is used in the development of commercial applications. Producers of these applications will like to see their applications work on Windows 8 as soon as Windows 8 gets released. However, before a commercial application can be released it needs to be tested. Although the Windows 8 builds that are currently available are not exactly the same as the RTM version will be, they already give a good indication of what will not work. As it looks currently many Qt based applications will completely break on Windows 8. Getting Qt up to par with the currently available versions of Windows 8 would reduce the number of issues when the Windows 8 RTM gets released.
The alternative to expecting some preliminary/beta support for Windows 8, would be to wait until Windows 8 is released. If the implementation of Windows 8 support is not initiated before Windows 8 is released, it will be very bad news. First we would have to wait until Qt is supporting Windows 8, and then we need to start using that version of Qt, and test our application. This would mean it will be months after the release of Windows 8, before we can finally support Windows 8 in our application. In particular if this means it would be mandatory to use Qt 5, which might not be compatible and thus may require additional refactoring of the application.
And therefore, I would like to know which version of Qt will support Windows 8, and to what extend Windows 8 will be supported in that version.
Best regards,
P.S. I understand it is unclear when Windows 8 will be RTM, and that there are rumors about 2012. However, be aware that 2012 is only half a year (i.e. one minor Qt release) from now. And it's just a rumor, it might be considered ready earlier, though I also expect it to be later.
The developer model for Windows 8 is still very much up in the air at the moment; I can't see how Qt can plan anything until MS actually releases more information. You just need to look at all the various [arstechnica.com] articles [itnews.com.au] about the role silverlight may or not have in windows 8 to see how uncertain it is.
As far as visual styling – MS usually leaves it quite late in the piece to reveal the major visual changes in their OSes so there's not much that can be done on that front either.
I'd say you'd have to wait until at least their developer conference at the end of the year before a real plan for Qt can even begin to take shape.
Note: I don't develop for Windows so this is all just from what I've read around the web over the last few weeks.
Hi all.
I think that this question is very relevant.
Taking into consideration that the policy of Nokia+Microsoft with Windows Phone 7 is to maintain Qt away, then it is important to clarify the "Nokia+Microsoft" strategies for Qt.
So, it is adecuate to ask that now.
This situation is forcing me to move to Android and avoid WP7. With Qt on W8, or future WP8, I can consider to return to W.
For all those who haven't heared yet there is a Windows 8 [msdn.microsoft.com] preview available for developers, including Visual Studio 11, Blend 5 and the new Metro SDKs.
What version of Qt can we expect to work correctly with Windows 8?
The Qt SDK installs smoothly and the examples I've tried work as expected.
Quite contrary to, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work correctly at all. Windows 8 has still the same NT kernel as Windows 7 has, just a new user interface stuffed on top on it (and a very questionable one if you ask me).
Be sure to have a recent version of your VM as Windows 8 requires ACPI 2.0 support (which for example VMware Workstation 7.x has not).
The most horrific design decision was that this "desktop" replaces the classic start menu, which isn't available until you disable the whole metro stuff.
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RPEnabled
- 1 -> Metro UI
- 0 -> Classic UI
what about the windows 8 app store… are there more details available?
This Windows App Store isn't included in the developer preview and as far as I know there is only a minor amount of concrete details about it (besides "there will be an App Store").

"packaging - furniture - packaging"
Advice and suggestions from; "CENYC", "o2nyc", and "Rainforest Relief"
The density of urban environments is a well established dilemma. One of the practical problems resulting from density of urban livings is the efficient disposal of waste. With the population of city-dwellers increasing, the amount of garbage produced also increases. In New York City "packaging" is 1/3 of the total garbage; discarded furniture in New York accounts for more than 200,000 tons each year, constituting a significant potion of the city's waste.
FUNCY is a ready-to-ship workstation, and contributes a logical solution to waste problems by eliminating packaging waste. The FUNCY packaging is not thrown away, but is turned into the accessories of the work station.

Acorn Squash Seed Oil - 187ml
Country of Origin: United States
Region: New York
City / Village: Geneva
We love all of the squash seed oils from Stonybrook, but it is this acorn squash oil that has consistently blown us away with its balanced flavors of earth, fresh squash and toasted nuts. It is produced in upstate New York in tiny batches by drying, roasting and cold pressing the seeds of organic acorn squash from a nearby farm.
The oil has a beautiful deep amber color with green highlights and the aroma is intense and complex with nutty notes of roasted and raw squash. We love to use this oil as a finish on soups and salads but it also has a high enough smoke point (a bit higher than olive oil) to be used for sautéeing vegetables.

Artix: "We make video games for players of all ages."
Panel Moderator: "Oh...."
Artix: "The reason our games are for all ages is because of how a lot of the game devs are in real life. For example, I do not drink, smoke, nor do drugs. Never have. Never will. Well.... maybe I will try drinking when I am like 80. Hmmm. Nawww."
Panel Moderator: *chuckles* "So your games are good for young children?"

Generations of Garveys connected to the game
With overcast days and rain for much of the last week in Cooperstown, the appearance of a player once known as "Mr. Clean" on Main Street was cause for Mother Nature to shape up and give the Home of Baseball a beautiful summer day.
Steve Garvey – the 19-year big league vet, 10-time All-Star and 1974 N.L. MVP – visited the Hall of Fame on Monday with his son Sean's 12-and-under Little League traveling team, the Desert Longhorns.
"It's always an honor to come to the ultimate sports Hall of Fame," Garvey said. "To see its presentation of the sport is really something. I really do love just coming here and seeing the photos of Cy Young, Honus Wagner and the rest."
Now considered a Dodger legend, Garvey played for LA from 1969 to 1982 before a five-year stint in San Diego. With an always-present respect for the game, Garvey set a National League record with 1,207 consecutive games played, hit .294 during his career and was a member of the 1981 World Champion Dodgers. With all his achievements, his youth growing up in awe of the game has carried to his adulthood.
"I've always seen myself as a historian of the game," Garvey said. "I served as a batboy for Brooklyn in 1956, so I sat on a bench next to Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese and Carl Furillo. It has been fun to see the history of a team – that I am closely tied to – progress from Brooklyn to LA."
Garvey, who is now 62 and 24 years removed from his playing days, keeps busy between his motivational speaking engagements, his brand management company Garvey Media Group and the advisory role he holds with the Dodgers. He also recently celebrated the high school graduation and Amateur Draft selection of his son Ryan, who was taken in the 15th round by the Phillies.
While in Cooperstown, Sean Garvey's team met with Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson, who imparted the importance strong character and integrity on the Longhorns by pointing to Garvey and his 19 seasons in the bigs. When the team and parents started clapping and cheering, he quickly hushed them with a smile and a wave of the arms, not wanting the moment to be about him.
"It's great for kids this age to see (the Hall)," he said. "I think it makes them better ballplayers. They get a sense of appreciation for the game's history."
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Hawai'i celebrates college access program
Program serves more than 17,000 students a year
University of HawaiʻiHONOLULU, HAWAI'I – Hawaiʻi will be celebrating the success of three college-access programs during National GEAR UP Week 2013 starting September 23. Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) is funded by the U.S. Department of Education to provide students and families the resources they need to succeed in college. Since its inception in 1999, GEAR UP has improved educational outcomes for millions of low-income students across the United States.
This year, over 17,000 students were served statewide by the three Hawai'i GEAR UP programs (GEAR UP Hawai'i, GEAR UP Waipahu and Nānākuli-Wai'anae GEAR UP). The programs aim to broaden college awareness, expand academic readiness and increase postsecondary success among Hawai'i's public school students. The three Hawai'i GEAR UP programs collaborate with the Hawaii State Department of Education (DOE) and the University of Hawai'i (UH) System as well as the government, nonprofit and private sectors to provide information, encouragement, support, resources and services and help eliminate achievement gaps among groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education.
To celebrate National GEAR UP Week, GEAR UP will be collaborating with the DOE to host a legislative briefing at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 24 at Waipahu High School's Library. The focus of the briefing is to share how the three Hawai'i GEAR UP programs are working to provide students and families the critical support and resources they need for postsecondary success. GEAR UP Waipahu students, including Juanito Moises, who received national recognition as the 2013 GEAR UP Youth of the Year, will also be present to talk about the impact that the GEAR UP program has had on their success in school.
In addition, GEAR UP Hawai'i, the statewide GEAR UP program under Hawai'i P-20 Partnerships for Education, will be hosting a special event for Step Up Scholars from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sept. 28 at UH West O'ahu. Step Up Scholars are students from the graduating classes of 2014 and 2015 who have pledged to earn the rigorous Board of Education Recognition Diploma. The event will provide these students and their families with information sessions, as well as a resource fair, geared to prepare them for college and careers. During the event, Lieutenant Governor Shan Tsutsui will present a proclamation in honor of National GEAR UP Week.
"GEAR UP Hawaiʻi has been a critical program to assist in leading education reform efforts in college access and success. It is essential to reach the state's goal of 55 percent of working age adults holding a two- or four- year college degree by 2025," said Karen Lee, Executive Director of Hawai'i P-20 Partnerships for Education, which oversees the statewide GEAR UP program. "The program works hand in hand with the University of Hawai'i and the Hawai'i State Department of Education to prepare Hawai'i's students to graduate from high school ready for college or a career, which is absolutely necessary to our state's future."
"The GEAR UP programs in our state have been instrumental in helping us to prepare our students for college and career success," said DOE Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi. "By working hand in hand, our partnership has assisted us in increasing our students' awareness of, preparedness for, and enrollment in postsecondary education."

For more information on GEAR UP Waipahu, please contact Erwin Legaspi, Project Director, email@example.com. For more information on Nānākuli-Wai'anae GEAR UP, please contact Deelyn Ka'aha'aina, Program Manager, firstname.lastname@example.com. To learn more about the national GEAR UP program, please contact the National Council for Community and Education Partnerships at 202-530-1135 orwww.edpartnerships.org.
GEAR UP Hawaiʻi is a program of Hawai'i P-20 Partnerships for Education, a statewide partnership led by the Executive Office on Early Learning, the Hawai'i State Department of Education and the University of Hawai'i System that works to strengthen the education pipeline from early childhood through higher education so that all students achieve college and career success. Hawai'i P-20's partners share a sense of urgency about the need to improve Hawai'i's educational outcomes in an increasingly global economy, and have established a goal of 55 percent of Hawai'i's working age adults having a two- or four-year college degree by 2025. For more information, visit http://www.p20hawaii.org.
The Hawaii State Department of Education is the 10th largest U.S. school district and the only statewide educational system in the country. It is comprised of 255 schools and serves more than 183,000 students. Hawaiiʻs public school system was established in 1840 by King Kamehameha III. To learn more, visitHawaiiPublicSchools.org.

Public Outreach and Collections Care
Public awareness is the key starting point for building support—from individuals, from local government, from the private sector. When people have first-hand experience with the issues facing your collections, they can become effective advocates in the community. Amber Kerr-Allison has conducted public outreach activities at the Smithsonian's Lunder Conservation Center. Susan Blakney has helped many small museums with which she has consulted involve their communities in their collections. Beth Tice has reached beyond the university community to show the residents of Waco ways in which the library's collections and resources can help them preserve their own treasures.

With the bay next door calling for us, I invite you to enter the sea. Leaving a single piece of beach towel and coconut water on the sun bed and let ourselves be embraced with nature over the sea, with more than 50 kilometers of coastline in the area of Salvador.
Salvador is a region almost perfect for those who want to practice sports. The large number of shipwrecks in the Bay of All Saints makes it one of the most sought areas by diving sport practitioners in Brazil. For those who have never experienced this, Bahia Scuba prepares the curious to be able to dive (www.bahiascuba.com.br) and organizes trips to one of 12 dive sites. Most of them are located in the vicinity of the Bar Lighthouse, an area with a rich marine life. Another area that attracts many people is coral formations in the area of Itapoã.For those who always carry a surfboard on his back, the good waves from the beaches of Flamengo, Stella Maris, Piata and Armação are meeting places for surfers. And the Ponto da Barra is a favorite place for kite surfing and windsurf.It is also worth a trip out to sea, to a place called the Costa das Baleias, situated in the further south of Bahia. Already in the Atlantic Ocean lies the largest and most diverse collection of coral reefs in the South Atlantic, in the Abrolhos Marine National Park. During July to November the Humpback whales are found here.

Mark Hebner is on a mission to change the way the world invests – by replacing speculation with education. His new book is a condensed, updated and revised version of his original Index Funds book. This small, compact, 5" x 7", 318-page handbook on intelligent investing addresses the financial behaviors of investors, the pitfalls of active investing, and the benefits of passive investing with index funds. This little gem packs hard data, visually attractive charts and graphs with more than 60 original oil paintings, nearly 40 unique portraits, and more than 120 color graphics, many portraying historic stock market data all the way back to 1928. This colorful and graphically pleasing book, complete with a Foreword by Harry Markowitz, is a quick, intelligent read and arguably the most artistic book ever written on investing.
Mark T. Hebner is the Founder and President of Index Fund Advisors, Inc., author of ifa.com and the book, Index Funds: The 12-Step Program for Active Investors. That original book received praise from the financial industry and academic legends, including John Bogle, David Booth, Harry Markowitz, Burton Malkiel, and Paul Samuelson. He has now released the new, condensed, updated and revised version.
Mark is considered a leading author, speaker and internet provider of investing education. He is especially knowledgeable about the superiority of index mutual funds, as well as the research indexes designed by financial economists. He earned an MBA at the University of California, Irvine. His mission is to change the way the world invests – by replacing speculation with education.
IFA Publishing has published two books to date: the original Index Funds and the condensed, updated version, Index Funds: The 12-Step Recovery Program for Active Investors. The new book reveals the potential land mines and pitfalls of active investing and educates readers on the benefits of passive investing with index funds.
