#YesAllWomen tweets reveal persistent sexism in science By Fiona MacDonald via ScienceAlert. | Image Credit: First three images via ScienceAlert via Twitter, fourth image via Twitter.
Reading through the tweets on the #yesallwomen hashtag is heartbreaking, illuminating and frustrating all at the same time.
And if you're a woman, you'll be nodding along to nine out of 10 of them.
The hashtag started after it was revealed that 22-year-old Elliot Rodger, lead suspect in the Isla Vista shooting, had shared extremely disturbing and misogynistic views in a video posted shortly before the attack.
Instead of flooding the internet with Rodger-specific fury, Twitter took the discussion to the next level and remind the world that sexism is still very much present across society, and #YesAllWomen experience it.
Among those tweets were many honest and confronting admissions of sexism from female scientists, students and communicators.
This isn't the first time the issue of misogyny in science has been brought up, but it's always sad and shocking to see certain opinions persist when females have come such a long way in the field.
As ScienceAlert is staffed almost entirely by women, we though we'd add a few of our own:
Because only 44 out of 835 Nobel Prize laureates are women.
Because senior scientists would still rather hire males, and pay them more.
Because people are still shocked when we tell them ScienceAlert is run by women.
Because that last tweet I screenshotted, via Hannah Hart, really hits home for myself and so many women I've talked to over the last few days [much less ever] when it comes to pointing out sexism in general, especially within the STEM world.
Science is way too awesome for sexism!

Spending Growth With Vertical Fiscal Imbalance: Decentralized Government Spending In Norway, 1880-1990
AbstractVertical fiscal imbalance, decentralized responsibility of spending with centralized financing, creates a common pool problem with spending pressure towards central funds. A model of decentralized government spending under vertical fiscal imbalance is developed, and the importance of national political characteristics for internalization of costs and spending level is investigated in an econometric analysis of Norway during 1880-1990. We argue that in a parliamentary democracy, the internalization of costs is influenced by the party fragmentation of parliament. This is confirmed by the econometric analysis using a Herfindahl index as a measure of fragmentation and political strength. Copyright Blackwell Publishers Ltd 2002.

Alaska Cedar, The Most Debated Name in the Cypress Family
The Silviculture of Alaska Cedar
Alaska-cedar is notable within the cypress family for its tolerance of cool and wet conditions. The climate of its natural range is cool and humid. Climatic conditions at elevations where Alaska-cedar grows in the Cascade Range of Washington are somewhat comparable to those at sea level in coastal Alaska. Growing seasons are short.
The Images of Alaska CedarA graceful, weeping, pyramidal evergreen, Nootka cypress or Alaska cedar can reach 60 to 90 feet in the wild but stays within a height of 35 feet and a spread of 20 feet in cultivation. The trunk remains straight and dominant throughout the life of the tree.
The Range of Alaska Cedar
Nootka Cypress is native to the west coast of North America, from Prince William Sound in Alaska, south to the Klamath Mountains in northernmost California. Alaska cedar is generally found within 100 miles of the Pacific coast.
The Alaska Cedar Landscape Fact Sheet
Alaska cedar makes a striking specimen, with a distinct, graceful, weeping habit. Even one plant will soften any landscape. Use it near water or around a patio or as a lawn specimen in residential or commercial landscapes. It reportedly does best with some shade from the afternoon sun, particularly in the southern part of its range. Trees in full sun look great in higher planting zones.

11' x 4'
Positions: 16
A full-size
table with mirrors and diamond rubber.
8' x 4'
Positions: 10
single dealer table with a smaller layout.
How to Play:
A few
words about dice
Some players
will insist that the dice have memory, i.e. dice remember
what just rolled and may or may not repeat that number. It
sometimes seems that way while playing craps. With that aside,
the possible outcomes are listed in the table to the right.
The combinations
in pink are the Hardways,
see below for Hardways Bet.
Note that
there are more ways to make a 7 than any other number, 6 out
of 36.
Line and Pass Line Odds
The basic
bet on the Craps table is the Pass Line. It pays even money,
1 to 1. The first roll of a new game is called the Come-Out
Roll. Everyone will know that the shooter is "coming
out" because the marker puck will be OFF. 7 or 11 on
the Come-Out Roll is an instant winner for the Pass Line.
2, 3 and 12 are the only numbers called "craps"
and are losers for the Pass Line on the Come-Out Roll. If
the shooter throws any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10),
that number becomes the Point and will be marked ON with the
Once the
point has been established, the Pass Line bet will win even
money if the Point is repeated. The Pass Line will lose if
a 7 is thrown and the dice will go to the next shooter. Any
other number will have no effect. The Pass Line is a contract
bet, which means that you may increase it, but may not decrease
the Point is established, you may take Odds by placing a bet
behind the line. The payout will depend on the number and
is the true mathematical odds of the Point rolling before
7. In a "Double Odds" game, you may "take odds"
up to 2x your Pass Line bet, 2.5x if the Point is 6 or 8.
Pass Line
(Come-Out Roll)
Bet and Come Point Odds
The Come
Bet becomes available after the Point is established. It is
just like the Pass Line. 7 or 11 on the next roll will win;
2, 3, or 12 will lose. Any other number becomes the Come Point
and the bet will be moved into the box of that number. That
bet will win if the number is repeated and lose if 7 is thrown.
Just like
on the Pass Line, you may take Come Point Odds on your Come
bet. Give the money to the dealer and it will be placed on
top of your Come bet.
If a Come
bet hasn't won and the shooter is coming out again after making
his Point, the Come bet is still working, but the Come Point
Odds are OFF. If 7 rolls, the Come bet will lose and the Odds
will be returned to the player. If the Come Point rolls and
becomes the new Point, the Come bet will be paid and the Odds
will be returned unpaid. You may ask for your Come Point Odds
to be ON.
Bets and Buy Bets
of the dice picking your number as in the Pass Line and Come
bets, you may Place a number. The payouts are not true odds,
see table. Just give your bet to the dealer and say which
number. Place bets will win if the number rolls and lose if
7 rolls. They are OFF on the Come-Out, which means they don't
win, but they also don't lose. You may ask for your Place
and Buy bets to be ON.
If you
would like to get paid true odds, you may "Buy"
a number. In order to Buy a number, you must pay a 5% vigorish
(commission). Buy bets are OFF on the Come-Out.
Pass Line, Don't Come and Lay Odds
If you
want to bet that the shooter will not make the point, start
on the Don't Pass Line. 7 or 11 on the Come-Out Roll will
lose. 3 or 12 will win even money. 2 is a push. Any other
number becomes the Point and will be marked. If 7 rolls after
the Point is established, the Don't Pass Line will win. If
the Point rolls, the Don't Pass Line will lose. Any other
number has no effect.
The Don't
Come works just like the Don't Pass after the Point is established.
7 or 11 on the next roll will lose. 3 or 12 on the next roll
win. 2 is a push. If any other nummber rolls, the bet will
be moved to a box behind the number. Then if 7 rolls, you
win; if the number repeats you lose.
You may
decrease your Don't Pass Line or Don't Come bet, but may not
increase it.
Just like
taking odds on the Pass Line, you may "Lay Odds"
against the number on the Don't. The payouts are the opposite
of the Pass Line Odds. You may Lay enough to win 2x the Don't
Pass Line or Don't Come bet, 2.5x on 6 and 8. For example,
on a $10 Don't Come bet against 6 you may Lay $30 to win $25,
plus the $10 for the Don't Come bet.
Come bets and Lay Odds are always working.
To bet
that a number will not come, you make a Lay bet. Lay bets
against a number will win if 7 rolls and lose if the number
rolls. The payouts for Lay bets are the same as Lay Odds.
You must pay a vigorish (commission) of 5% of what the bet
will win. For example, to Lay the 9 for $30 to win $20 you
must pay 5% of $20, or $1. Lay bets are always working.

Description from the owner
An art filled, 77m2, two bedroom holiday apartment rental/home in Berlin's hip Friedrichshain district, in the former East Berlin. The apartment has been profiled in design magazines internationally. The apartment is situated in the heart of the famous Simon Dach Strasse, a vibrant tree-lined street filled with street cafes, restaurants and bars. Its fantastic position means that it is a walk away from the largest leftovers of the Berlin Wall, the O2 stadium, Berlins most famous nightclubs and trams, buses, underground and overground services that will connect you anywhere you want.

The Berlin Artist Apartment
Berlin, Germany
What's Nearby:
Additional Location Information
The Berlin Artist Apartment is situated in a pre-war apartment building in the heart Berlin's Friedrichshain district, east of Alexanderplatz. It is perhaps the last resort for Berlin's famous alternative subculture. The streets culture is colourful and vibrant: Left over artist squats merge with imposing monumental Stalin-era buildings. Late-nineteenth century apartment buildings, galleries, alternative bars, clubs and cafes permeate the streets. Simon Dach Strasse is a popular spot with students, artists, young families as well as young Berliners.
The front of the apartment building has a liquor and convenience shop, a fantastic bakery, café and icecream shop. Nearby Boxhagener platz hosts the fantastic farmers market on Wednesday and Saturday, and the famous flea market on the Sunday. There are a range of supermarkets nearby.
Many more cultural, sporting and shopping options are also within walking or cycling distance. Not far from here is the "East Side Gallery", the largest remaining section of the wall, saved by artists who've turned it into a canvas for their work. Also, the 02 stadium is just a walk away, as is Berlin's most famous bars and nightclubs - It's also home to Berghain – possibly the world's most important techno club – and a place where the party, once it starts, never really stops. So if you're here for the nightlife, you really couldn't pick a better place. Although the streets are lively, the apartment is a quiet retreat.
Tram lines, bus routes, underground station (U-bahn – U5, U1) and overground station (S5,S7) are a five minute walk from the apartment. Alexanderplatz is about five minutes by train or a 10 minute bike ride. Nearby public transport connections mean that favourites such as Berlin's TV tower, shopping in Hackescher Markt or the Reichstag and Brandenburg gate are 15 minutes away.

Theory Lectures and SeminarsThe lectures are divided into five different knowledge areas presented in the course:
- Requirements (week 36)
- Planning and Processes (week 37)
- Design and Architecture (week 38)
- Testing and Software Configuration Management (week 39 and 40)

Full sets of slides will be published on this page directly before a lecture is given.
Guest LecturesIn addition to the lectures mentioned above, a number of guest lectures will be given by senior consultants and managers from the industry.

5 Bites: Korean Food On Temescal's 'Kimchi Row'
As a Korean-American foodie who resides in West Oakland, I'm lucky that there's a slew of fine eateries not too far from our home all along Telegraph Avenue in Temescal.
Chef Ravi Kapur, formerly of Boulevard and Prospect, has set aside his fine dining ways in favor of cooking the soul food he loves for his friends. He tests those waters at a new pop-up restaurant, Liholiho Yacht Club. Bay Area Bites attended the second in the series of four dinners: here's what we ate.
The food we discovered on Maui was an interesting mix of hearty no-frills home-cooking, and high-end fine dining. Get ready to eat your way through paradise…
As it turns out, Mele Kalikimaka really is the thing to say on a bright Hawai'ian Christmas Day. So, in honor of all my friends from The Islands Big and not-so-Big, I am saying "Merry Christmas" with a big bowl of poke. Of course, since this is a Holiday piece, I felt it necessary to make this raw tuna dish look as Christmas-y as possible, under the circumstances.

Cullowhee, NC (Sports Network) - Mike Williams buried a jumper as time expired, sending the Western Carolina Catamounts to a thrilling 79-78 win over the Appalachian State Mountaineers in Southern Conference action at the Ramsey Center.
Trey Sumler scored 17 points and Richie Gordon added 16 points and nine rebounds off the bench for the Catamounts (8-10, 4-2 SoCon), winners of four straight. Harouna Mutombo chipped in with 12 points, while Williams and Brandon Boggs each scored 10.
Omar Carter led all scorers with 19 points to go along with eight boards for the Mountaineers (7-9, 3-3), who suffered their second consecutive one-point loss. Donald Sims was next in line with 18 points, followed by Andre Williamson with 14 and Marcus Wright with 10.
A three-pointer by Sumler put WCU on top, 10-5 at the 16:26 mark of the opening half. However, that also marked the Catamounts' largest lead of the game, and they trailed by a 36-35 margin at halftime.
ASU led by as many as seven with 11:33 to play in regulation, but the Catamounts hung around by making all 16 of their free-throw attempts in the second stanza. On the final possession, Gordon could not get a layup to fall, but Mutombo grabbed a big offensive board and kicked it out to Williams for the game-winner.
WCU held a key 36-28 rebounding advantage in a game that featured 11 ties and 17 lead changes.

Gov. Pat McCrory's proposed adjustments to the North Carolina state government budget are expected to show how he'll pay for teacher and state employee salary increases next year.
McCrory and state budget director Art Pope are expected to disclose Wednesday what the governor would like legislators to change in the second year of the two-year budget starting July 1.
Pope and the governor have been mum about how they would find money to pay for proposed across-the-board raises for educators and state workers. The price tag for these and already announced raises for early-career teachers is about $250 million.
Pope says there's money to cover a roughly $450 million budget shortfall for this fiscal year.
The legislature begins its annual work session Wednesday in Raleigh.

Amber Fort, India 2013
10 Sept 2013 - 17 Sept 2013 Trip to India
(My post-travelling feelings written earlier after my trip to India back in September)
Exotic. Vibrant. Diversity.
I can't believe what I have seen with my own eyes in the past week. India is an amazing place with a unique culture and very friendly people. The Architecture is breathtaking. And of course, Taj Mahal is definitely worth mentioning. I'm glad that it is still listed as one of the 7 wonders in the world. Taj Mahal is not the only great architecture in India though, there are many others that have been listed as cultural heritage, and they all left me in awe.
India is very much different from what I've expected. With India being one of the BRICS countries, I thought India would be a developing continent and a country that is emerging vigorously. True. Parts of India are very well developed with modern shopping malls. However, as a whole, I would take it as a no. The disparity between the rich and the poor is indeed great. What lies behind is a very corrupted government. Slums that we've seen in Slumdog Millionaire is everywhere. I can hardly forget the poor young beggars running after tourists in bare feet asking for food and money, with numerous wounds all over their palms and legs. You can hardly imagine the poor living standard that they are having. The widest smile on a 3-year-old kid when I gave him a big box of biscuit- I would never forget that.
I won't say India is an emerging BRIC. People, like me, may have an impression that India is a developing country, with an improving economy, an improving living standard. That's not true. Poverty in India is widespread.
The past week may be a tough one but it's definitely worth it, and I've enjoyed every moment of it. (apart from the heart-breaking moments whenever I see poor kids along the streets.. and dogs. too many dogs.)
India is definitely a must-go continent.

Penang Day 4 - 09082014
Woooop our last day here.
We didnt do much today since we have to fly at 12pm.
The morning in Penang is dead quiet- most shops and restaurants are closed.
We walked around and came to the only restaurant that is opened on the whole street- 7 Village Noodle House.
We ordered a 7-Village GuoTiaoTang (Soup noodle), Lo gan and curry-dipped dragon ball. The noodle is average and the dragon ball is similar to curry fishballs. I quite like the Lo gan which has a crispy wrapping with seasoned meat inside.
With a bloated tummy, thats the end of our trip:( Teksi-ing to the airport now booooo.

City Manager wants $360,000 loan to repair his home
Original post made by old timer on Dec 13, 2013
Negotiated by ex-Mayor Ohtaki and City Attorney McClure, it will come before Council on the Consent calendar (Item D7, next Tuesday).
Absolutely outrageous in my opinion.

Excuuuse me! The city should not be in the banking business. This is an unnecessary perk for a highly paid city employee who has other options. This is a really bad precedent.
on Dec 14, 2013 at 8:06 pm
If the City has a financial stake in the home, I can see the city making a loan with reasonable terms for both parties. If this is a privately owned home, why can't he get a loan from a bank or credit union? The city got burned in their BMR subsidy not to long ago, why they even offer loans is a mystery to me.

Last-Minute Skillet Green Beans
and more not featured on my blog? Subscribe to my newsletter!
I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. With Thanksgiving on the horizon, I'm sure most of your schedules are filled with travel plans, errands to run, and turkeys to cook!
But in the midst of the chaos if you find yourself with the need for a last-minute side dish to serve with your holiday meal, I hope you'll consider this one as a possibility. It takes just minutes to make once you have blanched the green beans. I like to blanch them off in advance and just throw the whole thing together right before the big meal is served.
With hints of lemon, garlic, and herbs along with crunchy toasted almonds, this side dish—although quick and easy—does not disappoint in flavor! I'd be happy serving this dish as a side to a weeknight supper any night of the week no matter the season.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with those you love!
Last Minute Skillet Green Beans
Serves 4
1 lb. green beans, thinly sliced into "O" shapes
1 tbs. olive oil
½ medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbs. fresh tarragon, chopped
2 tbs. fresh parsley, chopped
Juice and zest of one lemon
¼ cup slivered almonds, toasted
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Set aside. (At this point, the blanched green beans can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days before proceeding with recipe.)
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add green beans, tarragon, and parsley. Cook, stirring, to heat through—about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in the lemon juice, zest, and almonds. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

I'm only an occasional watcher of Medium, so I won't go so far as to call myself a fan, but I will say that I enjoy the show when I watch it, although I do wish Allison would once in a while remember that her precognitive dreams are totally unreliable, and often deliberately misleading. I'm particularly a big fan of Jake Weber as Allison's husband Joe, so I'm actually a little disturbed by the capsule summary of tonight's series finale.
I, for one, am really happy Medium is still on the air. Granted, I haven't been watching much since it made the move to CBS, but it's a solid psychic procedural mixed with a family drama, it has a great cast, and I hope it finds new viewers now that it's paired up with Ghost Whisperer and is getting a lot of airplay in reruns on Lifetime. Another good thing about the show is its '80s and '90s guest stars, and it'll add one more to the list tonight when Martha Plimpton appears. That's right, tonight's Medium stars a Goonie.
I don't watch it every week, but when I do, I'm always impressed with how good a show Medium is. Patricia Arquette isn't the most gripping actress in the world, but she plays a fun character as awesomely sarcastic as she is incredibly earnest. And her husband is played by Jake Weber, who was so awesome in Dawn of the Dead that I still love him to this day. And while most weeks she has a new case to solve, with only her confusing dreams to guide her, there's usually a parallel thread she has to deal with that affects her family in some way, and sometimes the two intermingle. Plus, the status quo of the family is constantly changing: One episode they're unemployed and broke, a few episodes later they have jobs, but they're being stalked by a psychopath, and the next week one of her daughters has demonstrated a new psychic ability. Basically, the problems never end for the Dubois family. Which is why I think I need to watch tonight's 2-hour event -- because it looks like big stuff might happen.

Its slightly hazy, deep-chestnut body reveals orange highlights when held to the light; and its frothy, light tan head holds quite well while leaving some impressive lace about the glass. The nose, however, is less exciting than its appearance with some muted roasty maltiness and some delicate floral hoppiness. The body is medium-light and it's crisp in the mouth with a fine, median carbonation. The flavor offers the same dampened roastiness that the nose offers... the dark malt edge is there, but the richness is missing. A perfect black & tan. There's a subtle edge of chocolate that's nice, however, and the floral hops really come through in the flavor, which is a bit unusual. It's well-balanced by a firm bitterness, and it finishes dry with just a subtle touch of dark chocolate roastiness and some lingering floral hops.

Light brown with a low beige head that leaves sporadic rings of lace. Very light hop aroma when fresh and a light roasty aroma. Roasty malt flavor with a slight hop character and great balance. LIght bodied with a slightly dry roasty coffee-ish finish.
Label states: "Stout & Ale"

Old Dominion does some good and some okay beers. I'm a fan, thought, because their brewery is not too far away and I can pick up sixtels of some of their lesser-known beers for my kegerator. Such was the case with their Black and Tan.
B&T's appearance is formidable. Deep, rich darkness with a firm head which leads into a nice, chocolately aroma with hints of coffee. The tast confirms the smell. Malty, nutty, chocolately. Quite drinkable, but not stop-in-my-tracks outstanding. The mouthfeel isn't as solid as I would have expected, and almost hints at a metallic feel from time to time, though not often enough to warrant a bad review here.
Overall, this is a fine brew. And when I'm ready for another sixtel of Black and Tan, I'll probably come back to OD.

Not the best "black and tan" brew I have had, but it's not too bad either. I would rather go with the Yuengling Black and Tan, but I thought I would try this one. It actually got better the more I drank it. It was kind of hoppy, I thought, in the beginning, which I never really associated with a B&T, but it smoothed out more and more. All in all, it wasn't great, but I would like to try it off tap.

Appearance: Arrives at the table with a thick black body that extends 3/4 of the way down and sits on top of a clear amber base; the entire concoction is topped with a creamy foam that sticks and provides plenty of lacing
Smell: Malty chocolate nose with some roasted notes
Taste: Roasted malt and chocolate flavors up front; midway down the bitterness kicks in; the finish is dry with a touch of chocolate sweetness
Mouthfeel: Thick bodied with modest carbonation
Drinkability: Excellent beer on tap; love the way it changes its flavor profile on the palate from start to finish

The beer poured slightly hazydark brown. The head was rocky and lasted forever, only dropping so it could lace the glass.
The aroma was yeasty and had slight hoppiness, but no real malt or stout characteristics.
The flavor was dry and slighty bitter. The beer is also slightly astringent. The bitterness outshines any real contribution from the stout.
The finish was dry and lasting with a decent amount of bitterness. The body is medium light.
The label says a blend of stout and ale.
12 ounce bottle. Bottled on 31 JUL 2003.
