Chern class
In mathematics, in particular in algebraic topology, differential geometry and algebraic geometry, the Chern classes are characteristic classes associated to complex vector bundles.
Chern classes were introduced by Shiing-Shen Chern (1946).

Geometric approach[edit]
Basic idea and motivation[edit]
Chern classes are characteristic classes. They are topological invariants associated to vector bundles on a smooth manifold. The question of whether two ostensibly different vector bundles are the same can be quite hard to answer. The Chern classes provide a simple test: if the Chern classes of a pair of vector bundles do not agree, then the vector bundles are different. The converse, however, is not true.
In topology, differential geometry, and algebraic geometry, it is often important to count how many linearly independent sections a vector bundle has. The Chern classes offer some information about this through, for instance, the Riemann-Roch theorem and the Atiyah-Singer index theorem.
Chern classes are also feasible to calculate in practice. In differential geometry (and some types of algebraic geometry), the Chern classes can be expressed as polynomials in the coefficients of the curvature form.
Construction of Chern classes[edit]
There are various ways of approaching the subject, each of which focuses on a slightly different flavor of Chern class.
The original approach to Chern classes was via algebraic topology: the Chern classes arise via homotopy theory which provides a mapping associated to V to a classifying space (an infinite Grassmannian in this case). Any vector bundle V over a manifold may be realized as the pullback of a universal bundle over the classifying space, and the Chern classes of V can therefore be defined as the pullback of the Chern classes of the universal bundle; these universal Chern classes in turn can be explicitly written down in terms of Schubert cycles.
Chern's approach used differential geometry, via the curvature approach described predominantly in this article. He showed that the earlier definition was in fact equivalent to his.
There is also an approach of Alexander Grothendieck showing that axiomatically one need only define the line bundle case.
Chern classes arise naturally in algebraic geometry. The generalized Chern classes in algebraic geometry can be defined for vector bundles (or more precisely, locally free sheaves) over any nonsingular variety. Algebro-geometric Chern classes do not require the underlying field to have any special properties. In particular, the vector bundles need not necessarily be complex.
Regardless of the particular paradigm, the intuitive meaning of the Chern class concerns 'required zeroes' of a section of a vector bundle: for example the theorem saying one can't comb a hairy ball flat (hairy ball theorem). Although that is strictly speaking a question about a real vector bundle (the "hairs" on a ball are actually copies of the real line), there are generalizations in which the hairs are complex (see the example of the complex hairy ball theorem below), or for 1-dimensional projective spaces over many other fields.
See Chern–Simons for more discussion.
The Chern class of line bundles[edit]
An important special case occurs when V is a line bundle. Then the only nontrivial Chern class is the first Chern class, which is an element of the second cohomology group of X. As it is the top Chern class, it equals the Euler class of the bundle.
The first Chern class turns out to be a complete invariant with which to classify complex line bundles, topologically speaking. That is, there is a bijection between the isomorphism classes of line bundles over X and the elements of H2(X;Z), which associates to a line bundle its first Chern class. Addition in the second dimensional cohomology group coincides with tensor product of complex line bundles.[1]
In algebraic geometry, this classification of (isomorphism classes of) complex line bundles by the first Chern class is a crude approximation to the classification of (isomorphism classes of) holomorphic line bundles by linear equivalence classes of divisors.
For complex vector bundles of dimension greater than one, the Chern classes are not a complete invariant.
The Chern class in Chern–Weil theory[edit]
The Chern class of a Hermitian vector bundle on a smooth manifold[edit]
Given a complex hermitian vector bundle V of complex rank n over a smooth manifold M, a representative of each Chern class (also called a Chern form) ck(V) of V are given as the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the curvature form Ω of V.
The determinant is over the ring of n × n matrices whose entries are polynomials in t with coefficients in the commutative algebra of even complex differential forms on M. The curvature form Ω of V is defined as
with ω the connection form and d the exterior derivative, or via the same expression in which ω is a gauge form for the gauge group of V. The scalar t is used here only as an indeterminate to generate the sum from the determinant, and I denotes the n × n identity matrix.
To say that the expression given is a representative of the Chern class indicates that 'class' here means up to addition of an exact differential form. That is, Chern classes are cohomology classes in the sense of de Rham cohomology. It can be shown that the cohomology class of the Chern forms do not depend on the choice of connection in V.
Using the matrix identity tr(ln(X))=ln(det(X)) and the Maclaurin series for ln(X+I), this expression for the Chern form expands as
The complex tangent bundle of the Riemann sphere[edit]
Let CP1 be the Riemann sphere: 1-dimensional complex projective space. Suppose that z is a holomorphic local coordinate for the Riemann sphere. Let V = TCP1 be the bundle of complex tangent vectors having the form a∂/∂z at each point, where a is a complex number. We prove the complex version of the hairy ball theorem: V has no section which is everywhere nonzero.
For this, we need the following fact: the first Chern class of a trivial bundle is zero, i.e.,
This is evinced by the fact that a trivial bundle always admits a flat connection.
So, we shall show that
Consider the Kähler metric
One readily shows that the curvature 2-form is given by
Furthermore, by the definition of the first Chern class
We must show that this cohomology class is non-zero. It suffices to compute its integral over the Riemann sphere:
after switching to polar coordinates. By Stokes' theorem, an exact form would integrate to 0, so the cohomology class is nonzero.
This proves that TCP1 is not a trivial vector bundle.
Complex projective space[edit]
There is an exact sequence of sheaves:[2]
where is the structure sheaf (i.e., the trivial line bundle) and is Serre's twisting sheaf (i.e., the hyperplane bundle.)
By the additivity of total Chern class c = 1 + c1 + c2 + … (i.e., the Whitney sum formula),
- ,
where a is the canonical generator of the cohomology group ; i.e., the negative of the first Chern class of the tautological line bundle (note: when E* is the dual of E.)
In particular, for any k ≥ 0,
Chern polynomial[edit]
A Chern polynomial is a convenient way to handle Chern classes and related notions systematically. By definition, for a complex vector bundle E, the Chern polynomial ct of E is given by:
This is not a new invariant: the formal variable t simply keeps track of the degree of ck(E).[3] In particular, is completely determined by the total Chern class of E: and conversely.
The Whitney sum formula, one of the axioms of Chern classes (see below), says that ct is additive in the sense:
or equivalently . Now, if is a direct sum of (complex) line bundles, then it follows from the sum formula that:
where are the first Chern classes. The roots , called the Chern roots of E, determine the coefficients of the polynomial: i.e.,
where σk are elementary symmetric polynomials. In other words, thinking of ai as formal variables, ck "are" σk. A basic fact on symmetric polynomials is that any symmetric polynomial in, say, ti's is a polynomial in elementary symmetric polynomials in ti's. Either by splitting principle or by ring theory, any Chern polynomial factorizes into linear factors after enlarging the cohomology ring. Hence, the conclusion is that
- "One can evaluate any symmetric polynomial f at a complex vector bundle E by writing f as a polynomial in σk and then replacing σk by ck(E)."
Example: We have polynomials sk
with and so on (cf. Newton's identities). The sum
is called the Chern character of E with the explicit terms:
Example: (We drop E from writing.) The Todd class of E is given by:
where Bk are Bernoulli numbers.
Properties of Chern classes[edit]
Given a complex vector bundle V over a topological space X, the Chern classes of V are a sequence of elements of the cohomology of X. The k-th Chern class of V, which is usually denoted ck(V), is an element of
- H2k(X;Z),
the cohomology of X with integer coefficients. One can also define the total Chern class
Since the values are in integral cohomology groups, rather than cohomology with real coefficients, these Chern classes are slightly more refined than those in the Riemannian example.[clarification needed]
Classical axiomatic definition[edit]
The Chern classes satisfy the following four axioms:
Axiom 1. for all V.
Axiom 2. Naturality: If is continuous and f*V is the vector bundle pullback of V, then .
Axiom 3. Whitney sum formula: If is another complex vector bundle, then the Chern classes of the direct sum are given by
that is,
Axiom 4. Normalization: The total Chern class of the tautological line bundle over CPk is 1−H, where H is Poincaré-dual to the hyperplane .
Alexander Grothendieck axiomatic approach[edit]
Alternatively, Alexander Grothendieck (1958) replaced these with a slightly smaller set of axioms:
- Naturality: (Same as above)
- Additivity: If is an exact sequence of vector bundles, then .
- Normalization: If E is a line bundle, then where is the Euler class of the underlying real vector bundle.
He shows using the Leray–Hirsch theorem that the total Chern class of an arbitrary finite rank complex vector bundle can be defined in terms of the first Chern class of a tautologically-defined line bundle.
Namely, introducing the projectivization P(E) of the rank n complex vector bundle E → B as the fiber bundle on B whose fiber at any point is the projective space of the fiber Eb. The total space of this bundle P(E) is equipped with its tautological complex line bundle, that we denote τ, and the first Chern class
restricts on each fiber P(Eb) to minus the (Poincaré-dual) class of the hyperplane, that spans the cohomology of the fiber, in view of the cohomology of complex projective spaces.
The classes
therefore form a family of ambient cohomology classes restricting to a basis of the cohomology of the fiber. The Leray–Hirsch theorem then states that any class in H*(P(E)) can be written uniquely as a linear combination of the 1, a, a2, ..., an−1 with classes on the basis as coefficients.
In particular, one may define the Chern classes of E in the sense of Grothendieck, denoted by expanding this way the class , with the relation:
One then may check that this alternative definition coincides with whatever other definition one may favor, or use the previous axiomatic characterization.
The top Chern class[edit]
In fact, these properties uniquely characterize the Chern classes. They imply, among other things:
- If n is the complex rank of V, then for all k > n. Thus the total Chern class terminates.
- The top Chern class of V (meaning , where n is the rank of V) is always equal to the Euler class of the underlying real vector bundle.
Proximate notions[edit]
The Chern character[edit]
Chern classes can be used to construct a homomorphism of rings from the topological K-theory of a space to (the completion of) its rational cohomology. For a line bundle L, the Chern character ch is defined by
More generally, if is a direct sum of line bundles, with first Chern classes the Chern character is defined additively
This can be rewritten as:[4]
This last expression, justified by invoking the splitting principle, is taken as the definition ch(V) for arbitrary vector bundles V.
If a connection is used to define the Chern classes when the base is a manifold (i.e., the Chern–Weil theory), then the explicit form of the Chern character is
where Ω is the curvature of the connection.
The Chern character is useful in part because it facilitates the computation of the Chern class of a tensor product. Specifically, it obeys the following identities:
As stated above, using the Grothendieck additivity axiom for Chern classes, the first of these identities can be generalized to state that ch is a homomorphism of abelian groups from the K-theory K(X) into the rational cohomology of X. The second identity establishes the fact that this homomorphism also respects products in K(X), and so ch is a homomorphism of rings.
The Chern character is used in the Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch theorem.
Chern numbers[edit]
If we work on an oriented manifold of dimension 2n, then any product of Chern classes of total degree 2n can be paired with the orientation homology class (or "integrated over the manifold") to give an integer, a Chern number of the vector bundle. For example, if the manifold has dimension 6, there are three linearly independent Chern numbers, given by c13, c1c2, and c3. In general, if the manifold has dimension 2n, the number of possible independent Chern numbers is the number of partitions of n.
The Chern numbers of the tangent bundle of a complex (or almost complex) manifold are called the Chern numbers of the manifold, and are important invariants.
The Chern class in generalized cohomology theories[edit]
There is a generalization of the theory of Chern classes, where ordinary cohomology is replaced with a generalized cohomology theory. The theories for which such generalization is possible are called complex orientable. The formal properties of the Chern classes remain the same, with one crucial difference: the rule which computes the first Chern class of a tensor product of line bundles in terms of first Chern classes of the factors is not (ordinary) addition, but rather a formal group law.
Chern classes of manifolds with structure[edit]
The theory of Chern classes gives rise to cobordism invariants for almost complex manifolds.
If M is an almost complex manifold, then its tangent bundle is a complex vector bundle. The Chern classes of M are thus defined to be the Chern classes of its tangent bundle. If M is also compact and of dimension 2d, then each monomial of total degree 2d in the Chern classes can be paired with the fundamental class of M, giving an integer, a Chern number of M. If M′ is another almost complex manifold of the same dimension, then it is cobordant to M if and only if the Chern numbers of M′ coincide with those of M.
The theory also extends to real symplectic vector bundles, by the intermediation of compatible almost complex structures. In particular, symplectic manifolds have a well-defined Chern class.

Pineapple Cream cheese spread
Does anyone know if Kraft still makes Pineapple cream cheese spread that comes in a jar? The only one I can find is the Old English one. I love the pineapple one for stuffing celery. I know they discontinued making the olive - pimento flavored one, durn it. It was good in stuffed celery, too. I still believe the old saying...."if it ain't broke, don't fix it"!!! If the pineapple flavor has also been discontinued, I sure am gonna be dissapointed!!!

Sunday's train derailment that caused the death of four people isn't the first Metro-North accident this year, another accident happened near the Spuyten Duyvil Station in this summer.
A garbage train derailed and disrupted the Hudson line for several days in July.
No one was injured then, but four died on Sunday, the first passenger deaths in Metro North's 30-year history.
Officials said the two derailments don't appear to be related and didn't immediately pin blame on the curve at a station that sits where the Hudson and Harlem Rivers meet.
Sunday's deadly derailment added more pain to what's been a brutal year for Metro North.
In May, two trains on the commuter railroad collided in Connecticut.
And two weeks later, a Manhattan-bound train fatally struck a track foreman, also in Connecticut.
Even before Sunday's crash, the MTA had already named what they call a Blue Ribbon Panel to examine safety issues at Metro North Railroad, as well as the Long Island Rail Road and New York City Transit.

When it comes to scoring hotel deals online, I consider myself a pro.
So when I needed a last-minute room in Taos, N.M. last night (the funky bed and breakfast I'd already booked had lost its Internet service), I drove down the road, nabbed a free Wi-Fi signal outside the Best Western Kachina Lodge and figured I'd find a nice place for $100 or less in no time.
Wrong. I checked Kayak and Hotwire, then my old standby, Priceline. Nothing doing, unless I was willing to settle for a Motel 6 or equivalent. (I was hoping I wouldn't have to.) Chagrined, I walked into the Kachina Lodge lobby and asked for their best rate. At $71.99, which included a 10% AAA discount and half off breakfast, it beat any comparable rate I'd found online (including $90 for the same property on Kayak). The recently renovated room was cheery and clean, so I booked it, decamped for a margarita at nearby Doc Martin's and felt proud of myself.
Until this morning. When I wandered into the lobby in search of extra coffee, I struck up a conversation with the night auditor - who told me that if I wanted to stay on tonight, they had a space available special of $59 ($51.99 including the AAA discount) that included a half-price breakfast. Gee, I asked her, didn't she think I should get that same deal retroactively for the night I'd just stayed?
Which goes to show that for all the Internet's bells and whistles (and I've landed some terrific bargains through Priceline's Hotel Negotiator app), sometimes the best way to land a great hotel rate is the old fashioned one: By schmoozing in person.
Readers, what's your hotel experience? Have you found better luck finding deals online, over the phone or face to face?

What is this?
Uncharted: Golden Abyss is the fourth game featuring the 'Uncharted' universe, and is exclusive to PS Vita. Set prior to the events of the original Uncharted - Drakes Fortune, the game sees Drake in search of a 400 year old lost city in South America. Naughty Dog has handed over development of the game to Sony's Bend studio, but we're promised a game which has the look, feel and atmosphere of the PS3 titles.

Sony Bend are a decent enough studio and they've spent the better part of two years on it.
Looking forward to a double dose of Uncharted this year.
Golden Abyss sounds intriguing; if it's there at launch then I'm there at launch!
Yep, me too. There with bells on.
Hoping to hear a lot more about this and the NGP/Vita over the next few weeks

Sounds genuinely awesome.

Still unclear (I'm certainly hoping so), but my guess is that Japan and US will both see it this year, with Europe in Q1 2012.
If rumours of region free are true, a purchase from Amazon.com may be worth your while

It's level of meh-osity may be reduced by actually being able to move the camera with a second analogue stick though, no?
This thread needs a bump (and a name change) now. Who is getting this at launch? I love Uncharted but I'll most likely hammer through it in 2-3 plays and trade it in.

Erk, just watching the GB quicklook of this - I legit thought those huge yellow "swipe" arrows had been overlayed for trailers to show what was happening, but they are in the real game! If I can respect anything in this series it's that Naughty Dog runs a fine tooth comb over everything in terms of visual fidelity, I can't imagine they'd have let something so hideously incongruous stay in if they'd been on it.
edit: watching them play the game looks like pretty good proof that you can make "these games" for the Vita though, with the dual analog sticks.

GameStop Widens Generation Gap
An earnings report from GameStop (GME) on Tuesday provided further evidence that -- industry hopes to the contrary -- the transition to a new generation of machines will likely be a disruptive time for the video-game sector.
As part of its
Separately, at an investor conference, Electronic Arts (ERTS) said that it saw soft sales in early November and plans to cut the price of its flagship Madden NFL football title by $10, according to Briefing.com.
Weakening demand for new games, short supply of new consoles, price cuts and disappointing sales are not unusual for a console transition. But industry analysts, investors and executives had hoped this generational jump would be different.GameStop's announcement, however, adds to the recent evidence that this transition will simply be more of the same, a reality that could weigh on the stock prices not only of GameStop but of game publishers such as Electronic Arts and Activision (ATVI). "We should all know that there's an awkward transition they're all going through right now," says Steve Monticelli, president of Mosaic Investments. "We should expect weak results from these guys." Still, the market seemed somewhat surprised. In recent trading, shares of GamesStop were off 4 cents, or less than 1%, to $35.14. But the software guys were taking significantly bigger hits, with EA shares off $1.67, or 2.9%, to $56.43; Activision's stock off 40 cents, or 2.8%, to $13.80; and shares of Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) off 47 cents, or 2.5%.

i am mermaid, hear me roar
Posted by weathergirl on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 · Leave a Comment
"Call me Seahorse," she said.
Her voice, musical yet with a sexy metallic rasp, entranced me as I stood next to her surveying the crowd of artsy Jacksonites filling the lobby of the Pink Garter Theatre. Hammerhead Shark swam by, followed in hot pursuit by Reef Shark, disappearing in the concave ripples of a giant iris.
"Where are you from," I asked the scantily clad Seahorse Johnson III.
"A matriarchal society 10,000 leagues under the sea," she sniffed.
"I'm nobody's maid!" she roared.
All eyes were upon us! What had I done to upset the sea goddess, people wanted to know. I reached over and pulled gently on the power cord to her belly, and she gave a satisfied rumble. Her fingers relaxed their grip on her 7 foot spear.
"Hey, what happened to your finger," I asked, casually, hoping to redirect Ms. Seahorse's train of thought. Her left forefinger was capped with a silver thimble.
"Stupid near-sighted barracuda bit me!" she shrieked.
This time, the crowd hot footed it to the bar to try a 10,000 hours specialty cocktail, concocted in honor of Seahorse's maker, Ben Roth.
At last I was alone with my lady. She burbled as I ran my hand down the screen of her skin. I was about to ask her what's it like being made of air and light, metal and power, but she had her hand on the throttle and before I knew it her tail was a motor sending us soaring, aloft in an ocean of manmade things.

I have done lots of martial arts in my day. The other day I got into a conversation about punching technique. My point to them was that for a punch to hurt it's all about the snap back; try to pull back twice as fast as you came in.
But when I was thinking about the scientific reason for this, we (3 engineers) were not in agreement, and not really understanding why.
If you do a follow through punch, then your kinetic energy is transfered into deformation of the person's body, then into kinetic energy of their body moving.
However, if you did the snap back technique, the main question of dispute was if this was analogous to why whipping someone with a wet towel hurt, or wheather it was more to do with how nerves work (a sustained deformation hurts less?).
happy hump day.

Restaurant Companies Deliver Results
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tuesday was a good day in restaurant land. A number of companies reported quarterly results, and all of them exceeded consensus estimates for both revenue and earnings.
The restaurant sector continues to perform quite well; a basket of 33 names that I follow is up an average of 23.5% year to date, more than 1,100 basis points better than the S&P 500.
The restaurant sector has turned in a couple of years of blistering performance, but now many observers fear a slowdown caused by rising commodity costs.
Although some prices have risen, they haven't been sufficient to keep the the consumer away for the most part, and even in a still-challenged economy, eating outside the home appears to be one of our nation's greatest pastimes.On Tuesday, Denny's (DENN), Bloomin Brands (BLMN), Del Frisco's (DFRG) and Domino's Pizza (DPZ) all reported first-quarter results; you could not find a more diverse set of restaurant names.
Denny's, the back-from-bankruptcy work in progress, continues to move the ball forward. The company reported EPS of 8 cents, a penny better than the 7-cent consensus. Actual revenue of $114.5 million topped the consensus estimate of $112.7 million. The company continues to whittle away at what was once substantial debt. It's also buying back shares. If there was any negative news, it was that same-store sales were down 0.7% vs. last year. Still, the comeback continues. I closed my Denny's position late in 2012 after a very nice run and left some money on the table. It's nice to see that the company at last has a positive book value per share (2 cents), as small as that may be. DENN data by YCharts
Meanwhile, Domino's continues to deliver, beating consensus estimates of 55 cents by 4 cents. This name has taken the industry by storm ever since a brilliant advertising campaign a few years ago where the company admitted that it's pizza recipe was not as good as it could be, and changed the formula. Shares are up more than fivefold since 2010. DPZ data by YCharts

I'm Fine"Are you okay?"
No. I'm dying. I have to push myself to wake up in the morning, and when I finally do, I want to go back to sleep. Even my best dreams are becoming nightmares. I can't taste food, I can't stand the things I used to love. I'm breaking. I'm fading. I'm dying.
"I'm fine."
DisappearWishing to disappear
never to existed in their mind
no reason to cheer
this is why I was designed
there's a cloud over me and its raining knives
all smiles are faked
no one hears his cry's
as he sits there shivers and shakes
doesn't even try to reach out because there's nothing there
only my own numb stare
no desire to fight the devils wrenches
would anyone notice if I could disappear
because Im starting to feel warm in these trenches
would they even shed a tear?
Sick of the acting
let me compost with the dirt
live????..... ill think Ill be passing
lets make sure this hurts
still wishing to disappear
lets seal this coffin with a drop of blood and a tear
Attention seeker.
Society is ScreamingSociety is screaming so loud, I can hear it internally
Inside my mind, bouncing off the boundaries
All the dishonor, poverty, lies and disgust sound eternally
I tell the world, warn them of this coming storm, they tell me it's imaginary
The ones who are here to help, they lie through their teeth and lungs
Lock me in, "fixing" me up, sending my mind reeling
Defiantly I fight, bare arms and legs, as they fill me with drugs
They've sent me so far from home, I'm so numb, I can't even feel my feelings
My mind is overflowing with images I don't own
I remain silent, let them believe it's working
Moving slowly through this twisted life I now know
Don't let them in, your soul is still here, in the shadows, lurking
I somber out of the bright white building, fake hope on medication
The pills they gave me, go into the trash, along with my trust in this world
I look for others, minds alike, prepare this movement for fortification
Inside this prison, my ideas have lifted, gotten up and swirled

Between The LinesSix years old,
tired and cold
a girl stood with rags and bruises.
She turned to stare,
tried not to care
beside her the mommy who always uses.
She happened to see,
a mother of three
tied down by the 'devils' on her sleeve.
The little girl asked,
desire well masked
why must they ruin Christmas Eve?
No answer ever came,
only silence to blame
and mommy walked on without one word.
The little girl followed,
a large gulp now swallowed
left her question hanging and simply unheard.
AnorexiaMeet a girl named No One, with a heart of shattered stone
Staring at the other girl, the one that's not alone
Girl with skin that glistens, with the eyes of crystal seas
Grin of shining diamonds and a laugh like a disease
Flashes just a glance and soon, she's every trouble's cure
She has everything and No One's off to be like her.
Eating turns into a crime, she'd rather be away
Thrusting fingers down her throat to make herself okay
Watching as her very bones are seen behind her flesh
There she drowns in tears, for she has not yet seen success.
Minutes turn to hours, and these hours turn to days
Every moment slipping, slowly fading into grey
Rapidly, her body turns to nothing but her bones
As she fights for beauty, as she battles for the throne.
Broken hearts must learn to beat, and this she came to know
Learning it the hard way when her heartbeat grew too slow
Yet, she somehow managed still to shine from what's within
Lying in her casket with her hidden, unseen sin.

Is there still money to made in the United Arab Emirates?
- 0Apr 16, '09 by ballybrickenEconomy is in poor condition in Ireland. Public Sector Employees (includes healthcare) paying >50% of their wages in taxes / levies. Impossible to stay and support youngsters in college. First choice is Australia for lifestyle however listening to allnurses,financially it would appear that earnings are comparable. Does anyone know what's going on in the UAE? Where is good, what are they paying, travel, annual leave, lifestyle etc.
- 1Apr 18, '09 by frustratednurseMoney is not flowing in Dubai at the moment due to lowered price of oil. But nurse pay is good anyways, For a theater nurse it is around 8,000 dirhams or 103,000 Philippine peso (Note: I am not a nurse in Dubai). It's the contract of my immediate supervisor and he is already in Dubai right now. But his flight was delayed by 3 months because of the financial difficulties in Dubai right now.
- 1Apr 27, '09 by birdrecruitSalary is about equivalent or a bit less than the UK. What you have to consider is that in the UAE you will get a tax free salary, free accommodation, free flights, and a bonus (sometimes one month's salary for each year worked). The UAE is also free of the stealth taxes that the UK has - in the UK you actually pay 7 months of your income in direct and indirect taxes. Best of all is the UAE lifestyle -no need to lock your car and customer service is fantastic. You need to get yourself a good recruitment agent to get yourself over there - someone who isn't going to charge you a fee: Bridgewater International is excellent. Hope this helps.

Looks like we have another Jimmy Carter President in the White House. Barack Hussein Obama has been kissing up to the Muslim world since he became president. Could it be from his Muslim childhood in Indonesia? He hardly had a "Yankee Doodle Dandy" childhood. His parents met at a Russian language class in the 1960s at the University of Hawaii (now who studied Russian back in those days, Marxists maybe?). On one of his first overseas trips as president he meets the King of Saudi Arabia (Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques) and gives him a full bow from the waist. No other president has bowed down to any head of state in our history. Then Obama apologizes to the Muslim world for America's past "transgressions" at the University of Cairo. Yes, Cairo, where our U.S. Embassy was overrun. What does the Obama Administration do? It issues another "apology." "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts of misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims..."
Now we are finding out that the American Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three of his staff were murdered by a Libyan religious fanatical mob, led by Libyan Al-Queda terrorists.
Will Barack Hussein Obama go on American national television and issue yet again, another "apology" for the United States Constitutional right of free speech because someone may offend Muslim religious feelings anywhere in the world? Fanatical religious mobs in Egypt and Libya are to blame. Both of these countries America helped to democracy.

I'm on a kick. That's the opposite of a rut, I guess. I'm drinking a bunch of the same stuff and loving it. This month, despite the chilly weather in San Francisco, I'm all about white wines from the Southern Rhone. I've always enjoyed these in the past when I've had them (most often by the glass at French restaurants) but more and more I'm seeking them out as extremely food friendly alternatives to my usual white Burgundy and whites from the Loire.
So when I found myself and a couple of new friends recently in an LA restaurant (possibly to be reviewed later, but for now anonymous) with a great wine list, I couldn't help but pick out a wine from this region for pairing with some cheese, charcuterie, and other little bits of tapas. Of course, it helped that the wine's French name translated to "The Drunken Secret." How could I pass it up? The stuff is so good it's no wonder that it carries the name it does.
Domaine Pierre Gaillard is a relative newcomer to the Northern Rhone, but not a stranger to growing and making wine. His first experiences in the vineyard started as a teenager, tending and selling the Chardonnay grapes planted literally in the yard of his family's home. After many years of working as a winemaker for both Vidal-Fleury and Etienne Guigal, in 1987 Pierre Gaillard struck out on his own. This is something which seems to happen a lot in Napa and Sonoma, especially as winemakers make a name for themselves, but for some reason I don't hear a lot about it in France, though I'm sure it happens with the same frequency.
Gaillard began his own label after purchasing a vineyard parcel in Saint Joseph, a northern Rhone appellation that overlaps with the much more famous Condrieu, from which he made a single red wine in very small quantities for several years. This wine met with much acclaim, and as a result Gaillard has now expanded his operation to include about 30 acres of vineyards in Saint Joseph, Condrieu, Banyuls, Collioure, and Cote Rotie. He has also recently completed construction on a new winemaking facility in the medieval town of Malleval where he bases his winery, and has also embarked on a winemaking venture with some friends across the river which goes by the name of >Vins de Vienne. In the last 10 years Gaillard has cemented his reputation as one of the better vintners in the northern Rhone -- his name now being somewhat of a guarantor of quality wine in the bottle.
This particular wine in all its drunken secrecy, is a newer, small project of his on the fringes of the Condrieu appellation. It is made from 75% Roussanne and 25% Viognier, both of which grow on sloping hillsides of shattered, rocky schist. While I don't know anything about the winemaking for this wine, I'd imagine it spent its relatively short creation in a combination of steel and old, neutral oak before bottling. The grapes were likely picked fairly ripe as it has a touch more alcohol (14%) than some other whites I've had from the region.
Interestingly, it is bottled in an Alsatian style wine bottle. I don't know the purpose of this, but I was surprised when the waiter brought it to our table.
Tasting Notes:
Very light straw in color, this wine has a lovely nose of parchment, brown sugar, and flower nectar. In the mouth it is silky and rich, with fabulous texture carrying dry flavors of apricot, quince paste, honey, and flinty minerals. It has a nice finish and excellent balance between fruit and acidity.
Food Pairing:
What WON'T this wine go with? It was even great with some pork rillettes which we ate on toasted bread with cornichons. If I had to pick something, I'd say drink it with something like this swordfish with braised endive.
Overall Score: 9/9.5
How Much?: $20

Rolha Side Table by Gonçalo Campos
Portuguese product designer Gonçalo Campos has created the Rolha side table.
From the designer:
Cork is a very special material with qualities that make it perfect for a wide range of technical applications, while being environmentally sustainable, reason why it has seen a great appreciation in the last few years.
Most of its harvesting and production is also based in Portugal, because of the particularly favourable climate to it's growth, and the deep tradition in using cork in the most incredible applications; inspiring rituals and tools that have been kept through generations.
"Rolha", (Portuguese for the cork stopper used in wine bottles), is a side table inspired by one of these rituals, the most recognisable and age old of all, the uncorking of a fine wine.
This table is composed by very simple elements. A solid, turned cork top and 3 turned wood legs, fitted with a screw, similar to the ones used to uncork traditional wine bottles.
By simply twisting the legs in the cork top (in a very familiar motion), this table can easily be assembled without any tools. Thanks to the amazing mechanical properties of cork, this elementary action is enough to keep the table sturdy and stable.
This is a project that uses cork for its physical and aesthetic properties, in a way that respects the history, traditions and rituals associated to the material, while emphasizing it's aesthetic qualities.
Designer: Gonçalo Campos

Very nice matching of construction technique to material And the little table has a lot of personality in its simplicity.
eric g on 06 Mar 2013 at 8:44 pm #
how many times can you take the legs on and off before the cork comes apart?
Joejoe on 07 Mar 2013 at 1:05 pm #
Too bad you can never spill a drop of anything on it ever without it staining. I wonder if durability plays into the notion that this is "sustainable".

blindingly bad… this is the perfect example of designs and the disconnect between conceptual and practical world. what happens when even a small child sits on it? or it is used as a foot stool? what happens if the screw doesn't hit the dead center of the indentation? poor material choice. poor connection concept

Report: Toxics Regulator Aware Of Recycling Plant Risks For Years
By Staff Reporters, KCBS TV-2 Los Angeles, CA
SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com) — State regulators knew about potentially hazardous lead and arsenic emissions at a battery recycling facility in Vernon, but failed to immediately warn the public about safety risks, according to a report released Thursday.
Advocacy group Consumer Watchdog said new documents show that officials with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) were aware of dangerous arsenic emissions and leaky pipes releasing hazardous waste into the soil before the agency ordered Exide Technologies to suspend operations in April.
The allegations come as Exide and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) officials were set to conduct public meetings to explain Exide's arsenic emissions, the potential health risks, and what steps the company is taking to reduce public health risks.
In March, SCAQMD approved a health risk assessment for Exide that showed the facility was causing a potential impact to as many as 110,000 residents in portions of Vernon, Maywood, Huntington Park, Commerce, Boyle Heights and unincorporated areas of East Los Angeles.
On April 24, the day the agency shut down Exide's operations, DTSC Director Debbie Raphael told reporters that there was no reason to believe that hazardous releases were going into the L.A. River or drinking water, and that DTSC suspended Exide's operations after recently learning of toxic emissions from the plant at 2700 South Indiana St.
But according to documents obtained by Consumer Watchdog, the DTSC allegedly knew of the emissions as early as 2007, when a study prepared at the request of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board said modeling of the dispersion of heavy metals from the site "suggest that in the last three years, Exide has contributed through deposition approximately 424 lbs. of lead in both 2004 and 2005 and 712 lbs (sic) of lead in 2006 to the watershed."
A letter sent earlier in May to DTSC Director Debbie Raphael from DTSC Senior Hazardous Substances Engineering Geologist Philip Chandler also stated that between 1999 and 2000, DTSC found lead at levels of 40 percent in the sediment at the bottom of the storm water retention pond and required Exide to clean it up, Consumer Watchdog said.
In 2002, the DTSC issued an order requiring Exide to take measures to characterize the contamination and clean up 76 different waste units, according to Consumer Watchdog. In 2003, the DTSC fined Exide $40,000 for improper storage of used lead-acid batteries, but delayed payment because of Exide's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, the group said.
The DTSC took emergency measures in 2004 and again in 2008 to force Exide to clean up a lead-contaminated drainage channel, and public areas like sidewalks, streets, and neighboring roofs, Consumer Watchdog said. In 2006, the DTSC fined the company $25,000 for failing to minimize the possibility of hazardous releases.
Lead exposure has been shown to cause learning disabilities and high blood pressure, while arsenic exposure can cause heart disease, strokes, and cancer.
"This serial toxic polluter should be shut down permanently and required to pay to clean up their mess," said consumer advocate Liza Tucker in a statement. "The fact that the DTSC did not protect the public when people were in harm's way is inexcusable."
The Vernon plant is one of only two lead battery smelters west of the Rocky Mountains and melts up to 40,000 batteries a day, the Los Angeles Times reported.
