Hardware Engineer Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week – interviewed at Apple.
I was referred by a friend. Got contacted by HR first and arranged a phone interview by engineer manager. I had hard time understand the interviewer's India-English (sorry, no offense). He didn't ask resume experiences. He asked technical questions, no behavior questions. You need to study more fundamental technical knowledge for the interview.
- I got out of school for quite a while, have to review school texts for the technical questions. Answer Question

Hardware Engineer InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Apple in October 2014.Interview Details
I applied online and was contacted within a week or two by a recruiter. The recruiters were very helpful and kind, but I didn't get the same feeling from the team I interviewed with. I had an initial skype interview with my would-be manager, who asked a long series of questions spanning analog design, low-level programming, and DSP (I'm a EE). After the initial interview, I was given a programming assignment to complete on my own and had a follow-up interview with the group manager. Both engineers I spoke to were very short and gave me the feeling that they didn't have time to talk to me. After multiple interviews, I was given a very gentle "no" by the recruiter.No OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview

I applied through college or university – interviewed at Apple in November 2013.Interview Details
I had three separate phone interviews, each of which lasted about 45 minutes to 1 hour. In all three interviews, I was asked about my resume briefly and then they proceeded to ask more technical questions. The questions were a mix of software questions (reversing a linked list, converting a string "145" into its integer equivalent using ASCII, etc.) and hardware questions (how to make a gate from transistors, how to implement a Q-Flip Flop from a D-Flip Flop, making amplifiers out of certain components, etc.). I was contacted a week after my third interview with an offer (internship).Interview Questions

He asked if we could meet later in the afternoon, to which I replied yes, and a few hours later I was in a full fledged interview. I presented on my projects and was then asked technical questions.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Apple in October 2014.Interview Details
The interview process went smoothly and efficiently. It involved a phone screening by the recruiter, two rounds of technical phone interview, and one round of onsite interview. The interview day was well arranged, although it took almost an entire day just like other companies I interviewed. The trip arrangement system is nice, which allows you to pick your flight schedule, your choice of hotel and rental car. Engineers are in general friendly and open-minded. Overall a great experience.Interview Questions

The pair asked George, who happened to have plans to photograph...

Roadmap for Rails Apps Composer 2.0
Rails Apps Composer is a gem with recipes to create Rails application templates you can use to generate Rails starter apps. I use it to create the app templates and example apps for the RailsApps project. It's become popular (over 500 watchers on GitHub). It's a lot like Michael Bleigh's RailsWizard or Dr. Nic Williams's App Scrolls. If you've used the gem, you can take a poll to let me know if it has been useful and suggest any improvements you'd like to see. Here's the Roadmap for Rails Apps Composer 2.0.

The Genius annotation is the work of the Genius Editorial project. Our editors and contributors collaborate to create the most interesting and informative explanation of any line of text. It's also a work in progress, so leave a suggestion if this or any annotation is missing something.
To learn more about participating in the Genius Editorial project, check out the contributor guidelines.
Bobby Brown was known for smoking crack (Hard). Bobby Kristina (Bobby Brown's daughter) was exposed for snorting cocaine (soft) in a picture. I spit that HARD you spit that SOFT. I hustle HARD, you hustle SOFT.
Hooters is known for hiring busty waitresses and the less fortunate rarely get a call back. Racks is slang for titties but in the rap world racks is slang for thousands. 1 Rack = 1 G = $1,000. So like Hooters if you don't got a RACK/$1,000 we ain't talkin business.
Put this real music in your ear, in your ear wax. Put it on wax is also slang for put it on a record. Wax = Record.
A lot of people think Jersey is all Jersey Shore. On Jersey Shore there's Sammy Sweetheart and her boyfriend Ron. The part of Jersey I'm from is known for drugdealers selling HARD and Heron (slang for heroin). Play on words the only resemblance Irvington or Paterson has to Jersey Shore is Sammy SweetHARD and her "Ron".
Ron Browz had a song called Jumping Out The Window which was kind of big. Jumping out a window can be classified as a form of suicide. If you go against me you might as well kill yourself.
Fishscale is very pure uncut cocaine. I'm that RAW which is a play on words, raw is another slang for uncut cocaine. I'm that dope.
When we bring our cars it will stop your balling. If the NFL lockout continues there will be no football next season. We'll stop your balling like that.
I have so much jewelry I wake up to ice (jewelry). A widely popular urban legend is that scandalous women may slip something in the drinks of men and once they get home with the passed out man they would cut their kidneys out. The victim would wake up in a tub full of ice.
Bill Cosby was known to endorse pudding. I want bills and I don't like pudding.
Lil B has a dance called "cooking" one of the moves to the cooking dance is digging which is supposed to resemble digging with a shovel. It looks like you may be digging yourself a grave if you humiliate yourself by doing the corny dance in public. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zN6mEQ8m9A

My fellow Blacksmiths for Literary Progress and I had a hell of a time at the 21st Annual Indie & Small Press Book Fair here in New York City this past weekend. We've always been big fans of the fair as it attracts an interesting mix of presses from more well known names like Akashic, NYRB, and Soft Skull to obscure one-woman-armies like B. Rugged Needless to say, it was an honor to have a table at the event.
Brian Cogan (Encylopedia of Punk), Mike Faloon (Go Metric), and myself were on hand to represent the cause, with a special appearance by honorary member Richard Leck (Memory Hair) who kept us entertained with the best of W.C. Fields and Groucho Marx. Tim Hall (Full of It), Karen Lillis (The Second Elizabeth), and Ben Tanzer (Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine) couldn't make it to town, but their books did, much to the pleasure of those that snagged a copy.
We were lucky enough to be in a good corner on the balcony next to the good folks at Microcosm and Manic D Press which allowed us to meet a bunch of brand new friends and readers. We shook hands, introduced our work to the people, and even signed a few books. I was especially happy to sell all of the copies of The Love Book I had on hand, each one signed and personalized for the good person who plucked down their hard-earned cash.
A hearty thank you to all those that took the time to stop by the table and even picked up a copy of one of our books.
Here are a few shots for your ocular amusement.

One of the advantages hunters have in areas frequented by vehicles and farming equipment is that deer are often completely unafraid of machinery. They are used to seeing and hearing equipment go by, so watching a truck, tractor or ATV ramble past is an acceptable part of their daily lives.
As you have probably experienced, any deer that spots a human apart from machinery - especially during hunting season - won't stick around long enough for a shot. But if a hunter can arrange to get a ride close to his or her hunting destination and be dropped off, this puts the edge strongly back in the hunter's favor.
This drop off tactic also works well on species other than whitetails, such as pronghorn antelope and bison. In many areas in the West, farming ATVs cruise by the animals most of the year, and to the point they don't even look up while grazing. When the rifle season arrives, hunters can slip out of the ATV without being noticed and make a short stalk for a clean shot.
In Canada, where bear baiting is a standard practice, guides will often drive their hunters directly to a treestand overlooking the bait site without the hunter's feet even touching the ground. This eliminates a scent trail on the ground and gives the hunter just one more advantage.
In Robert Ruark's safari classic, "Horn of the Hunter," he describes several instances of getting close to wary African game by stepping out of a slow-moving Land Rover. The animals would watch the vehicle slow down, and then continue to keep their eyes on it as it drove past. After Ruark slipped out, he would hunker down and crawl to a vantage point, then make the shot before the game realized what was going on.
You might have heard of tactics similar to this used by farmers who spot a coyote across a field. One guy slips out of the truck and shoots the 'yote before it realizes what has happened.
If you try the drop off tactic, please remember to be careful and wait until the vehicle has come to a full stop before stepping out. And make sure not to chamber a round until it is safe to do so.
If this tactic works on coyotes, bears and sharp-eyed pronghorn antelope, it'll work on a smart, old white-tailed buck.

Gym memberships are something of a luxury these days. But without the usual suspects -- treadmills, elliptical trainers, cable machines and free weights -- is it easy to get a decent workout?
Absolutely. Just take your workout to the streets -- or the beach or the hiking trail.
Hiking trails with their hills and uneven terrain, are perfect places to practice interval training and improve cardiovascular endurance, as well as strengthen core and leg muscles.
Miles of beach, are a fitness boon. Muscles must work harder when feet dig into sand, ramping up the difficulty of even the easiest workouts.
And the concrete and steel structures all over cities provide the perfect way to challenge all major muscle groups while partaking of parkour, a relatively new discipline in which people use only the body to navigate the environment by scaling walls, vaulting ledges and jumping up stairs.
Even for those who haven't abandoned the gym, training outside presents a break from the monotony of machines and can improve performance in sports such as basketball, soccer, skiing and cycling.
Curious about the possibilities, we polled three fitness experts for L.A.-area workouts that provide great views and don't cost a thing. Sure, some exercises may seem familiar -- but doing them on an incline or an uneven or shifting surface adds an exhilarating element.
In some cases, we offer sets and repetitions for each exercise -- but they're only suggestions. Too easy? Increase the intensity of the exercise and add a few more reps. Too challenging? Knock down the energy and do a few less. Always work at a comfortable pace.
Workout 1: The beach full-body workout
Most people associate the beach with swimming or surfing, but the water isn't the only exercise-friendly element. Many developed beach areas, also feature bars, rings, swings and balance beams -- free equipment that can make a workout engaging and fun. Plus, the sand offers a shifting surface that forces the stabilizing muscles of the core to fire. Feet sink in, making muscles work harder and creating a bigger calorie burn.
Jennifer Cohen ( www.jennifercohen.com), fitness trainer and author of "No Gym Required," showed a number of strength and aerobic training exercises that can be done on a warm day or even a brisk winter one. Beach pails act as weights when filled with wet or dry sand, adding an extra challenge. These exercises are also easily done at a park or a playground with similar equipment.
Ab crunches and pelvic tilt on a swing
Lie on the sand on your back with your feet in a swing seat, legs extended and hands behind your head. Contract the abdominal muscles, bringing the knees and the shoulders together without straining the neck. Release and repeat. This targets core muscles. For the pelvic tilt, place back and head on the sand, and feet on the swing seat with knees straight. Push the pelvis up and release, squeezing the glutes.
How many: Repeat both exercises about 15 times.
Decline push-ups on a balance beam
Push-ups on a decline (where hands are lower than feet) have an added degree of difficulty, since the body is working harder against gravity. Place hands in the sand and toes on top of a low balance beam (or, to make it a little easier, place them against the side of the beam) and, with hands shoulder-width apart, lower the chest to the ground as far as possible while keeping the body straight. This works the entire upper body and engages the core, which has to work even harder to stay stable since hands are on an uneven surface and digging into the sand.
To add even more difficulty, bring one knee toward the chest during the push-up, alternating legs. You can also switch between bent-leg and straight-leg push-ups. Not that much upper body strength? Switch things around and do an incline push-up, with hands on the beam, toes in the sand.
How many: Three sets of 10 to 12 reps.

Submersible pump curves are how we determine the performance of a pump in a variety of situations. Learning to properly read pump curves will tell you whether a pump will last in a situation, what its performance will actually be in that situation, and whether or not it will develop the flow/pressure required for your intended use.
The first thing to recognize is that Flow and Pressure, while related, are not mutually inclusive. One could pump 500 Gallons Per Minute ('GPM') at near zero pressure. We can also move 1 gallon per minute at 25,000 Pounds Per Square Inch ('PSI') to cut steel. Most residential pumps are sized to pump about 10 GPM at between 30 and 60 PSI.
Most plumbing codes do not allow pressure to exceed 80 PSI in residential systems.
Most water based hydraulic systems measure pressure in 'feet of head'. A foot of head represents the pressure at the bottom of a one foot tall column of water - converted, one foot of head equals 0.43 Pounds Per Square Inch ('PSI'), and 1 PSI equals 2.31 feet of head.
Feet of head is how we calculate how much pressure the pump must produce to deliver the pressure at our delivery point. For example, if the pump needs to lift the water 100 feet from the top of the pumping level in the well, plus another 50 feet up a hill, plus up 20 feet to the highest faucet in the house - we know we have to at least make 100+50+20 = 170 feet of head, plus whatever delivery pressure we want. So - if we want the well pump to deliver 60 PSI at the highest faucet, we need 170 feet of head, plus 60 PSI. 60 PSI converts to about 140 feet of head - so we need a total of 140+170 feet, or 310 feet of head.
There are a couple of ways to determine your flow rate for any given type of pump system. Fixture counts, animal consumption, peak flow requirements, etc.
If you're trying to determine flow rates required for a single family house, it's good to have an idea of your total daily usage (typically 100 gallons per day per person in the home), divide this by two to determine peak loads (usually from 6am to 8am, and from 6pm to 8pm). This would mean that for a 4 person home, you'd need to deliver 200 gallons in the morning, and another 200 gallons at night, both times intermittently over a 2 hour period.
Combining the above information with a fixture count can give you a good idea of what your peak flow rate is. A fixture count generally involves adding up all the fixtures, but assuming that some fixtures use slightly more water than others - use a fixture count of 1 for sinks, 1.5 for toilets, 2 for showers, 0.5 for dishwashers, and and 1.5 for laundry machines. By adding together the fixture count, you can get a rough number for the well pump flow rate - for example, if you have a kitchen sink, two bathroom sinks, two toilets, two showers, a dishwasher, and a laundry machine, the flow rate at the head required should equal 12 GPM, ideally.
For irrigation systems, well pumps should be sized to deliver a consistent pressure based on the flow rates of each individual zone. Ideally, a well pump is sized for the well, and then the irrigation is designed around the limitations of the well system. For example, you'd like to install a 30 GPM pump to deliver 40 PSI at the irrigation main, but you won't be able to do this if you have a 15 GPM well, without install cisterns or large storage tanks & booster pumps.
For livestock watering, assuming that your animals consume a certain amount of water per day, and design the pump system around that requirement. The livestock watering requirements are generally well documented, or you can contact your local agricultural department for information.
Once you've determine flow rates and head requirements, you can match the two points on the graph and draw a line from each to where they meet on the curve. If the head requirements vs the flow requirements don't line up on the main part of the curve, close to the ideal operating point, try another curve/model of pump - running pumps to the left/right of the curve (for example, running a 10 GPM 1/2 HP pump at full flow with 300 feet of head, or running a 10 GPM 5 HP pump at 15 GPM with no head pressure) can cause premature wear/failure in pump end/motor components. Sometimes you can't find the exact right pump, in which case you can use Orifice Valves/Restrictors to control the flow rate and force a pump to run somewhere else on the curve by choking it back. Generally, all pumps will operate well as long as they have some head pressure and are in the middle of the operation curve.

Museum scientists pop up at Fairwater Library
Museum scientists were out and about during half-term week, when the I Spy…Nature pop-up museum paid a visit to Fairwater Library on 30th October. Curators from the Botany, Invertebrate Diversity and Palaeontology sections took along specimens from their collection areas to show the public, along with a microscope and quizzes to encourage them to look even closer.
Ingrid Jüttner challenged people to identify as many trees as they could, using beautiful displays of freshly-pressed leaves and fruits. This activity was a big hit with grown-ups, and it was very pleasing to see so many parents and grandparents encouraging children to learn more about these important plants, which bring our living spaces to life.
The library's meeting room became temporary home to an impressive array of marine and mollusc specimens from the Invertebrate Diversity section. People were fascinated by the creatures on display, which evoked a range of reactions (including 'they're really gross!') depending on how they felt about slugs and worms! Teresa Darbyshire showed some of the diversity of life found around our shores, with beautiful sea shells, lobster, starfish, and a pickled octopus and giant sea worm. Visitors tried their hands at identifying shells using a key, all good training for trips to the beach! Ben Rowson challenged people to identify mystery objects under the microscope, and introduced them to slug identification using his recently published book and life-like models.
Lucy McCobb showed visitors a range of fossils from different periods of the Earth's history, ranging from an Ice Age mastodon tooth and horse's leg bone, through Jurassic ammonites and ichthyosaur bones, to trilobites, which are among Wales's oldest fossils. The 'what's in a name?' quiz was popular with children, and asked them to use the meanings of scientific names to match up the name with the correct fossil.
This was I Spy..Nature's first venture into libraries, and showed that they have great potential as venues for taking the Museum's collections and experts out into communities.

A Window into the Industry Collections
During October we were fortunate to be donated this interesting gunpowder bag used at Curtis's and Harvey Ltd.'s gunpowder factory in Glynneath. Their monogram can be seen on the front of the cotton bag. It was used by the donor's great grandmother Elizabeth Thomas. She left school aged about 14 to work on a farm, but later began work at this gunpowder factory during the First World War. This timely donation allowed us to put this object on display at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea in the exhibition "Working for Victory: Welsh Industry and the First World War" which runs until 15th March 2015.
This month we purchased three share certificates to add to our important collection of Welsh share certificates.
The first is for five £100 shares for The Abercwmeiddaw Slate Quarry Company Limited and is dated 1898. It was a Liverpool based company registered in 1876 to acquire the slate quarry of the same name at Corris which had been opened in the 1840s. The company operated as a middle size quarry (in 1882 it employed 188 men producing 4,000 tons of slate) until it was wound up in 1905 as the Welsh trade declined. A new company of similar name was formed in 1911 and reopened the quarry on a smaller scale, until ceasing to exist in 1938.
The second certificate is for one £50 share in the Pen-y-Bryn Slate Company Limited, and is dated 1882. Registered in 1881 to acquire slate quarries at Nantlle that originated in the eighteenth century and which had been worked on some scale since the 1830s. The company was a typical mid-sized concern, operating four quarry pits serviced by Blondins in typical Nantlle style. In 1883 it employed 240 men and produced 5,000 tons of slate. The company failed in 1887 and the quarry closed until 1895 when it was reopened on a smaller scale until the 1940s.
The final certificate is printed on vellum and is a £50 share in the Blaenavon Iron & Coal Company, and is dated 8 September 1836. This company was an early joint stock company (with an enormous capital of £40,000) established to acquire the iron works and collieries from the Hill family and their partners. The new company considerably expanded the works and began a new works at Forgeside, built many houses, and introduced steam locomotives, making the works one of the leading UK iron producers. It became a limited liability concern in 1864.
On 26th August 1892 at explosion at Parc Slip Colliery killed 112 men and boys. This new accession is one of two booklets of letters for the Tondu Explosion Relief (Cardiff) Fund which would have been sent out to raise money for the relief fund. They are dated Town Hall, Cardiff 3rd September 1892.
We have a small collection of objects and photographs relating to this disaster including a commemorative mug which can be seen here
This brick was manufactured at one of the Hedley Brothers collieries, probably in the Bryncoch area. It was recovered from the building known as St. Peters Schoolroom on Brecon Road, Pontardawe. Amgueddfa Cymru holds the Welsh national collection of bricks, and this is an important addition.
The final object this month is a colliery official's yardstick (also known as Deputy's stick). It was used by the last N.C.B. Manager at Big Pit before it closed as a working mine in 1979. A yardstick was carried by officials as an aid in the process of testing for gas. Before about 1960 there was a hole at the top of the stick into which the deputy could fit the hook of his lamp in order to raise it into the roof to test gas. More recently a special sampling valve could be fitted onto the ferrule at the other end of the stick in order that gas samples could be taken using a sampling bulb which is then injected into a Garforth type safety lamp.

#popupmuseum - How did it all go?
The pop-up museum was created over two days at the Wales Millennium Centre as part of the Welsh Museums Festival and the Museums Association conference between 9-10 October 2014.
We set up the cases, table, boxes, screen and various cardboard structures on the Thursday before the conference.
It looked great, but we were all quite nervous. Would anyone turn up? Would people bring an object in response to our call outs on social media? Would people participate and share their Cardiff stories and memories? Would the huge table at its centre attract visitors or put them off?
Would Billy the Seal arrive safely?
We were about to find out if our experiment would work…….and thankfully it did!
What worked?
- 1. The stuff we had already collected.
We were all really glad that we already had some material for the pop-up that provided hooks to show people how they could contribute. The story cards collected at previous workshops kicked things off. They gave people an idea of how they could contribute, and made the Cardiff theme obvious. The voxpops also provided people with another focus and showed that people had already shared their Cardiff story. This encouraged participants to be filmed sharing their story at the pop-up.
- 2. Taking photographs of participants
We took a photograph of all participants with an instant camera and pinned them to their story cards. This emphasised the personal aspect and made stories easier to find
- 3. The big table in the middle with plenty of chairs.
This space really worked. It became a social space where people came together and shared their Cardiff story and a space where strangers started talking to each other. We piled Perspex boxes on top of each other along the middle and gradually filled them with objects over the two days. We encouraged people to write their comments about other people's stories on post-its and stick them on the boxes. This added another layer to the interpretation.
- 4. Using iPads to show social media content
We had built up interest around the pop-up on social media in the lead up to the pop-up itself, so it was good to continue this momentum. We used two iPads on the table as live labels that showed all tweets with the #popupmuseum #fflachamgueddfa hashtag. We used this as a way of highlighting interesting stories and providing information about what was happening at the pop-up over the 2 days. We also experimented with iBeacons and placed content about some of the objects on that so that people could access it using their hand held devices.
- 5. We invited the Media and the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism!
To keep the buzz around the pop-up museum going, we managed to generate press interest in the pop-up. The experience was filmed by s4C for Heno and by Cardiff TV. Deputy Minister Ken Skates also came to the pop-up and contributed his Cardiff story. He was really interested in the fact that we had created a museum in 48 hours that anyone could contributed to.
- 6. Billy the Seal made it!
Thanks to the huge effort of conservation staff across Amgueddfa Cymru, Billy made it to the pop-up. Billy generated lots of interest and was definitely a big pull to the pop-up. It was useful to have one star object that attracted the curious. Those who knew about Billy's story couldn't believe that she was actually there and that it was part of the museum's collections. And those who didn't know the story were…confused but intrigued.
- 7. Working with Cardiff Story, HLF, and Youth Forum members
You can't set up a pop-up museum without a team. The input from our Youth Forum members was invaluable, making sure that the processes of the pop-up ran smoothly and making sure that participants knew what to do. Staff members form the Heritage Lottery Fund provided guidance and support throughout the pop-up process. Working with Arran Rees and Lucy Connors from the Cardiff Story and was a great experience and we are already planning to create a pop-up together again in the future.
Make an Aria
What is an aria? That was the question posed by Music Theatre Wales Director, Michael McCarthy to kick-off this very exciting collaborative project. The Make an Aria scheme is a partnership between Music Theatre Wales (MTW) and the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (RWCMD) giving young composers an opportunity to have-a-go at opera. This time, they are using St Fagans Castle and the Museum's collections as their inspiration. A group of composers from RWCMD teamed with creative writers will 'make an aria' from scratch.
So where do you start? A speed-dating session was a good way to establish the best creative match for composer and writer. When everyone was paired-up, curator Elen Phillips gave an introduction to the material for the arias – the story of St Fagans Castle during the Great War.
The Windsor-Clive family of St Fagans Castle were at the centre of events during these turbulent years; Lord Windsor as chairman of the Welsh Army Corps and Lady Windsor as President of the Red Cross Society in Glamorgan. Grief-stricken by the loss of their youngest son, Archer, who was killed in action, they opened the Castle grounds to set-up a hospital run by volunteer nurses or VADs.
The stories were brought alive by looking at objects from the Museum's collections; a nurses' uniform from the hospital, a delicate necklace made by one of the wounded soldiers and a field-communion set used on the battlefield. At this point we were joined by members of the Armed Forces community, the 203 Welsh Field Hospital Medics who gave us a completely new take on some of these objects and stories. It just proves that working collaboratively can bring some unexpected and rewarding results. We will continue to work with the Armed Forces in co-curating some of the exhibits in the new galleries at St Fagans but that's another blog for another day.
We then led the composers and writers on a tour of the Castle and grounds; the old site of the WW1 hospital, the Italian garden where the soldiers recuperated and the greenhouses where the land girls may have worked. Any of these locations could be the setting to perform the arias in the summer of 2015. I think that everyone left with their heads bubbling with ideas. All we can do now is wait.
Rosie Moriarty Simmonds at National Museum Cardiff
On Tuesday 14th October, Cardiff-born artist Rosie Moriarty Simmonds showcased her talent in the galleries at National Museum Cardiff, painting a version of La Parisienne – or the Blue Lady – by French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
The event was part of a UK-wide roadshow organised by the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA). MFPA artists paint with a brush held in their mouth or foot where an accident, disability or illness means they are unable to use their hands. They have are 33 artists working in the UK, and over 800 worldwide.
Rosie, an MFPA student artist who paints holding a brush in her mouth, spent the afternoon in the galleries painting a version of La Parisienne and chatting to staff and visitors. 'I like chatting to children the most' she said. 'They ask the questions adults are afraid to ask'.
Her passion for art goes back to her school days, although juggling family and career commitments has prevented her from devoting much time to it until recently.
Last year she was persuaded to submit a portfolio to the MFPA, and was awarded a 3-year scholarship which gives her financial support to develop her skills, buy art materials and pay for tutoring – although she said she has also learnt a lot from You Tube! She is currently mid-way through her scholarship.
Rosie described the experience as 'a definite highlight of my career', and that as a local girl growing up in Cardiff, Amgueddfa Cymru's art collection had always been a source of inspiration.
Her painting will be sent to the MFPA, who will then decide what to do with it and whether it will go on tour with other works. We will keep you posted!
Fanny Eaton, the Jamaican-born model in Millais' Jephthah
Last month we were given a fascinating insight into the life of Fanny Eaton, one of the models for John Everett Millais' Jephthah (1867), which is currently on display in our Art in Victorian Britain gallery. Fanny is the figure at the far right of the painting, standing just before a curtain and wearing a yellow hood.
We were delighted to hear from Brian Eaton, Fanny's great-grandson, who came with his wife Mary to see the painting. They first became interested in Fanny while researching their family tree, and since then have done a considerable amount of research into her personal history.
At the same time curators and art historians have become increasingly fascinated by Fanny, particularly following the exhibition Black Victorians: Black People in British Art 1800-1900 at Manchester and Birmingham Art Galleries in 2005-6, and the accompanying catalogue written by the show's curator Jan Marsh.
Fanny was born in Jamaica in 1835 but by 1851 was working as a servant in London where she lived with her mother Matilda Foster. Within a few years had begun to model for several Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic artists including Frederick Sandys, Albert Moore and Rebecca Solomon, probably to earn extra income. Her striking features made her a popular choice with 19th century artists. Dante Gabriel Rossetti compared her to the Pre-Raphaelite 'stunner' Jane Morris.
The earliest studies of Fanny that we know of are pencil studies drawn in 1859 by Simeon Solomon. These were used as studies for his Mother of Moses, now in the collection of Delaware Art Museum, US. When this painting was displayed in the Royal Academy in 1860, a reviewer for the Athenaeum thought her features represented 'an exagerated Jewish type'.1
This is one of the interesting things about Fanny. As Jan Marsh has pointed out in Black Victorians, although originally from Jamaica, she was described in her day as being of 'mixed race' and artists of the time used her distinctive features to represent a variety of different ethnicities or 'types'. This is perhaps what attracted Millais to use her in Jephthah.
Jephthah seems to be the last painting to feature Fanny, although there may be more that are not yet identified. Brian and Mary Eaton are continuing with their research, and are particularly interested in finding out about Fanny's early childhood in Jamaica and the circumstances that led to her moving to London with her mother.
We are grateful to Brian and Mary for sharing their findings, and hope that much more information about Fanny will come to light!

Unknown Wales 2014
Unknown Wales is a free annual public event organised by Amgueddfa Cymru's Department of Natural Sciences in collaboration with the Wildlife Trust for South and West Wales, to highlight the natural history treasures found in Wales. It allows the museum to tell a wide general audience about the collaborative efforts that we are a party to, fighting to protect the wildlife and its habitats across the country.
This year's meeting, held on the 11th October in the Reardon Smith Theatre at National Museum Cardiff, had an audience of nearly 250 people. They heard talks about bank voles, diatoms (by the museum's Ingrid Jüttner), sand lizards, dung beetles, fossil forests and rare fish. The meeting was rounded off by Stephen Moss of the BBC Natural History Unit, talking about conservation activities in Wales, such as the success story of the recovery of the red kite.
As in previous years, the event has been sponsored by one of our very generous Patrons.
Biology Rocks! at National Museum Cardiff
Biology rocked at National Museum Cardiff on Saturday 11th October, when over 3000 visitors joined scientists from Amgueddfa Cymru, Cardiff University and the Society of Biology to celebrate National Biology Week and Earth Science Week.
Visitors got the opportunity to see some of the specimens from our collections that aren't usually on display and to talk to Museum experts about their work. Specimens from the Marine and Mollusca collections provided inspiration for a mural depicting life in the seas around Wales, which became more colourful and populated throughout the day!
As part of the Geological Society's '100 Great Geosites' campaign, Museum geologists displayed rocks, fossils and minerals from our collections, as well as stunning images of some of the most beautiful and iconic landscapes in Wales. Members of the public were invited to vote for their favourite site in Wales, with the dinosaur footprints from Bendricks Rocks, near Barry, emerging as the clear favourite on the day.
To mark the recent arrival of two hives on our roof, staff from the Entomology and Botany Sections gave visitors the opportunity to take a closer look at bee specimens from our collections and to experience a 'bee's eye view' of the world by playing a pollination game, collecting 'pollen' and 'nectar' from various flowers.
Scientists from Cardiff University's School of Biosciences and School of Earth and Ocean Sciences put on a variety of displays and activities throughout the Museum. Among the many activities on offer, visitors could try their hand at organ transplant using a life-size Operation game, race maggots, work out how big a dinosaur was from its footprint, discover first-hand how fungi get their spots, and learn the importance of reporting road kill with the Splatter Project.
Unlocking records from backlog collections
This week we were delighted to welcome our new intern, Seren Thomas, to the Department of Natural Sciences. Seren is already known to the department having volunteered for us in the Mollusca and Botany Sections whilst studying for her degree five years ago. Now, with her degree behind her, including a professional training year at Kew Gardens, and a Masters degree starting late next year, Seren was keen to work with us once again. So, what will she be doing…
There is so much useful information held in our collections that we are continually trying to make available and disseminate. Seren will be helping unlock data from our non-marine British backlog collections in Mollusca (primarily slugs and snails). These specimens date from before 1900 to the present, cumulatively spanning almost the whole of Britain and Ireland, representing many species and habitats. The project will involve repackage and re-labelling each species in turn, and extracting, verifying and georeferencing the species and site data. This will allow the data to be exported to the national environmental recording networks via the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. It will also help the material to be used more efficiently and widely in our research projects and other activities.
Watch this space to see how the project progresses over the next year and beyond.

"Everything Wrong With..."
"Everything Wrong With..." is the main series on the CinemaSins channel, and the first to be started. The first of these videos was "Everything Wrong With The Amazing Spider-Man in 2 Minutes or Less ", uploaded on December 11, 2012. Their first videos were 3-5 minutes long, though some, such as The Room were longer. Newer vidoes are usually between 7 and 9 minutes. Their longest sins video to date is "Everything Wrong with Batman and Robin in an Awful Lot of Minutes," clocking in at about 17 minutes, not including the non-sins content at the end of the video, after the final sins count is displayed. Sins videos are uploaded every Tuesday and sometimes Thursday.
"Conversations With Myself About Movies"
"Conversations With Myself About Movies" is the second series started by CinemaSins. In it, one of the two people behind CinemaSins has a conversation with "himself" (an edited-in version of him) about a movie. Clues to the following week's sins video are hidden in the Conversations videos, along with some red herrings. The first Conversations video uploaded was over Les Miserables. Conversations videos were uploaded every Friday.
"Movie Recipes"
"Movie Recipes" is the third series started by CinemaSins, wherein a food item is made to taste exactly like a movie. These videos were uploaded every Monday, with the first of these being The Great Gatsby cocktail.
"What's the Damage?"
The newest series on CinemaSins is "What's the Damage?". This series, using prices found via internet searches, calculates the total damage inflicted during the course of a movie (at the prices in the time the movie was made). At the end of each video, the total damage incurred throught the movie is displayed and adjusted for inflation. These videos are uploaded semi-regularly on Thursdays, with the first being about Die Hard.
Cinemasins Jeremy
On May 28, 2014, Cinemasins opened up a spinoff channel called "Cinemasins Jeremy". In this channel, Jeremy, narrarator of the sin videos, writes "letters to Hollywood", where he explains what filmmakers could be doing better or critiques certain aspects of filmmaking, such as splitting books into two movies.
Behind The Scenes
The men behind CinemaSins are Chris Atkinson and Jeremy Scott, the latter of which is the face and voice behind the videos. Chris, however, has voiced over one Sins video, for Prometheus.

Edinburgh's Wild West Town is currently up for sale and might soon be demolished or converted into residental flats.
The reason for the Mexican – American refurbishment style was to provide an advertising feature for "The Great American Indoors", a company trading Santa Fe style furniture in Morningside.
"The only place that worked was the cinema, but that was well before my time. The rest is just for show.", says Brian McLochlin, who worked for a year in the carpentry of the Western Town. He points out that the Western style attracts quote a bit of attention and visitors, especially during the festival.
His boss, John Edmund, agrees: "The Wild West style brings a lot of people in."
At its heart lies the old Springvalley Cinema, which turned into the "Silver Slipper" Ballroom in 1938 after the Dominion opened.
In Morningside Memories, locals exchange their memories about the Silver Slipper:
"O yes, and the Silver Slipper in Springvalley Gardens."
"I believe it had a very nice floor."
"Yes, very nice, but not very large."
"I remember going for tap dancing lessons at the Silver Slipper."
"O yes, Madam Ada, she certainly took classes in the area because girls in my class went to Madam Ada for dancing."
"Then Jean Reynolds was for Highland dancing."
"I remember the Silver Slipper but I never attended it. My mother said that it was only bad women who went to the Silver Slipper!"
[This remark was greeted with much laughter and cries of protest from the others present.]
Lately the Cinema was used as a retail property for Pine Country. The cinema is a four story stone built building of about 5000 square feet. There is a complex of 27 storage units to the rear at a pend which is accessible via Springvalley Gardens and Springvalley Terrace.
The old cinema is now for sale, and the property agent Ryden advertises it as a development opportunity to convert into residential flats or commercial use.
The storage units are described by signs as "Saloon", "Cantina", "Jail", "Livery", "Station" and others are presently used as workshops for joiners, storage units, as an office for a lawnmoyer, and most of them are work spaces for the garage.
The entry door of the Cantina serves in real life the purpose of emergency and fire exit of the Morningside Library.
The old cinema, ballroom and theatre is described as small with 200 seats, in reference to "Places of Entertainment in Edinburgh, Part 5, by George Baird".
According to the Morningside Memories by the Morningside Heritage Association 2003, there were about 50 cinemas and 30 dance halls in Edinburgh in 1951, and it was the neighbours who used the local facilities.
Every Saturday there would be screenings in the Springvalley Cinema, which appears in the chronicles first in 1912 as the Morningside Picture House, then changed its name in the following years to Ritz Kinema, Evan's Picture House, Morningside Photo Playhouse, Morningside Cinema, and Cine Playhouse in 1920.
Springvalley Cinema, opened 1st of January 1931 with " 'Special Attraction' with John Boles and Carlotta King in their greatest achievement The Desert Song- the enormously successful play."
The Cinema is remembered for its saturday screenings, when the entry fee was 1 penny or a jam jar.
Mrs Thomson from the Morningside Heritage Association remembers:
"When we went to the cinema it was Pearl White and Elmo the Mighty.
The Bug House here, the Springvalley; that was the first time I saw Pearl White. Then there was the Keystone Cops, Elmo the Mighty, Tarzan.
The biggest punishment I knew, was not to be allowed to go on the Saturday, because you lost the chapter you see. Thirty different episodes and you'd see the train coming down and Pearl White tied to the rails- and then 'TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK' and you were anxious to get back to see what happened."
Indymedia is so much better than professional journalism, in my opinion. No self-obsessed by-lines, at least here in Britain, accountability towards the reader and the other indy volunteers, no hierarchies, and instant possibilities of the reader to contribute opinion, clarification and corrections make Indymedia a much more happy community news resource than any other mainstream media outlet.
Not that the amount of conspiracy theories would not be bothering – the slight flaw in the Indymedia philosophy of "discuss it all out and the truth will eventually win the argument" is that hardly anybody has the time to read and investigate facts and opinions and to really discuss them out. Contributing to this is the abuse readers and contributers throw sometimes at each other, "trolling" can piss of folks who don't yet understand the "open publishing principle" and just stroll along accidentally .
But in the mainstream media you have a lot of twisting the facts, spinning and exaggeration for entertainment puposes.
One of the most recent examples is the Guardian's interview with Noam Chomsky by Emma Brockes.
Medialens put out a critique and collection of statements by Noam Chomsky to reveal how twisted his quotes became.
Chomsky was voted the world's greatest intellecatual and interviewed on this occasion.

Nico Rosberg admitted that both he and Lewis Hamilton will keep some data to themselves, even though Mercedes' stance has always been one of transparency.
Rosberg confirmed that the data from both cars are freely available to both drivers, information that relates to how he made small gains during a race weekend he would keep to himself.
"The data, everything is open, it's just that sometimes you're not going to put it on the table [and say] 'Look, here, what I've done'. If I find a little bit of an advantage somewhere then I'm not going to tell everybody about it, I'll keep it to myself. It's little bits and pieces here," Rosberg revealed to crash.net.
"But of course, in the background we're racing for the Silver Arrows and everything is free because as a team we need to be strong and we're strongest when we work together.
"And we do work together, and it will continue to be like that but at the same time we're fighting each other so whenever we can have a little bit of an advantage over the other we will take it."
Mercedes chief Toto Wolff admitted that the level of transparency in the team has suffered in recent weeks and urged both drivers to continue working together for the greater good while competing for individual honours.
"We need the whole group working together - the drivers and engineers from both sides of the garage - this is the spirit we want to maintain," Wolff told Autosport.
"It's not about winning the next couple of races, but hopefully staying competitive for the next couple of years.
"Therefore, every race we need to learn, and we can only learn if we have an open and transparent way of working with each other.
"It's clearly becoming very competitive, and the longer we go into the season the more competitive it's going to get.
"Transparency is all about exchanging views and learning from each other.
"We have to look very carefully at it. We don't want to keep the lap that shows how capable the car is until the final qualifying, because we need to understand where we can improve the car.
"I'm not saying this has happened, we just don't want to see any sandbagging and aborted laps when we need to learn about the car.
"The drivers' main agenda is winning the Drivers' Championship; our agenda is about winning the Constructors' Championship and making sure one of the drivers wins the Drivers' Championship, so maybe first we need to win the Constructors' Championship and then we can unleash them."

At Carine's with Riccardo
One major moment I apologize for missing and leaving out from Paris Fashion Week was meeting Riccardo Tisci at Carine's CRFashionBook Party at the Shangri-La Paris. It was such a pleasure to you know, well, meet Riccardo in real life! It's funny because to me, designers are my celebrities, and it doesn't matter who is in the room, I have serious designer tunnel vision. Especially ones that inspire you and your wardrobe. It was such a pleasure meeting xx
