If you are a homeschooler or classroom teacher, student or independent learner, or anyone else who writes about math — now is the time to send in your favorite blog post for next week's Math Teachers at Play blog carnival. The deadline is this Friday night, and the carnival will be posted next week at Teach Beside Me.
If you haven't written anything about math lately, here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- Elementary Concepts: As Liping Ma showed, there is more to understanding and teaching elementary mathematics than we often realize. Do you have a game, activity, or anecdote about teaching math to young students? Please share!
- Arithmetic/Pre-Algebra: This section is for arithmetic lessons and number theory puzzles at the middle-school-and-beyond level. We would love to hear your favorite math club games, numerical investigations, or contest-preparation tips.
- Beginning Algebra and Geometry: Can you explain why we never divide by zero, how to bisect an angle, or what is wrong with distributing the square in the expression ? Struggling students need your help! Share your wisdom about basic algebra and geometry topics here.
- Advanced Math: Like most adults, I have forgotten enough math to fill several textbooks. I'm eager to learn again — but math books can be so-o-o tedious. Can you make upper-level math topics come alive, so they will stick in my (or a student's) mind?
- Mathematical Recreations: What kind of math do you do, just for the fun of it?
- About Teaching Math: Other teachers' blogs are an important factor in my continuing education. The more I read about the theory and practice of teaching math, the more I realize how much I have yet to learn. So please, fellow teachers, don't be shy — share your insights!
Get all our new math tips and games: Subscribe in a reader, or get updates by Email.

DIY Doctor has just launched their new lead generation Affiliate Scheme aiming to unite consumers and businesses against cowboy builders and tradespeople.
The Affiliate Scheme is available to any company who has a website used by homeowners or tradespeople in the DIY, home improvement or construction industry. It costs nothing to join the scheme.
You simply host an enquiry form on your site which any customer who has a home or garden project they would like quotes for, can fill in. They will then receive up to 5 free quotes from insured and vetted tradespeople in their local area, who have paid for that lead. Once the lead has been verified, your company earns a percentage of the sale of that lead.
You also have the opportunity to host a form on your website for tradespeople to signup to join the database. Your company can then earn money from every lead that tradesmen purchase.
The DIY Doctor Affiliate Scheme:
- reduces the tradesperson's advertising costs as they receive as many relevant, appropriate leads as they want per week just by registering for free.
- offers homeowners a no obligation way of receiving quotes for work from competent, reliable, vetted and insured tradespeople in their local area.
- Earns your company money.
So everyone's a winner. Apart from the cowboys!

Presently available experimental information on spontaneous fission of transfermium elements mainly concerns partial half ‐ lives. In addition, for Fm and No isotopes and for a few Md, Lr and Rf isotopes the total kinetic energy (TKE) and mass distributions of fission fragments from spontaneous fission were also accurately measured. Recoil in — flight separator VASSILISSA is widely used for the synthesis and study of decay properties of heavy and superheavy nuclei. It is planned in the future to measure the TKE and multiplicity distribution of prompt neutrons in spontaneous fission of other No. Now, the search of alternative methods of the neutrons detection was realized. During the search, with colleagues from Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP MSU), the properties of some inorganic scintillators, was investigate.

Today is the big day!
I've heard a couple of people say this year that they don't want to vote because they don't feel like anything changes from one election to the next. They say that everyone just gets all riled up around election time, but then once our new representatives and leaders are chosen, nothing feels different for them. The truth is, it takes a long time to make change. Thankfully, we live in a country that has checks and balances so decisions that are made at the top of the hierarchy are approved or denied by other branches of the government and so for us sometimes we can't immediately feel the difference. Also, the fact that you don't notice a change probably means that you're in the majority seeing as a lot of the issues that are being raised in this election mainly effect minorities like the gay community and women's rights. Incidentally, the two people who told me they didn't notice a difference between elections were middle class white males – the only population who has had voting rights since our country's birth. The rest of us had to fight for it.
So even if you don't feel like this election's results will effect you, know that they will. And, if you're not going to vote for the outcome of your future, you should at least decide how you feel about others around you and cast a vote for them. The basic human rights for several populations are still on the table to be decided and you can help determine the outcome. We owe it to ourselves, our neighbors, our friends, and our families to do a little research and choose a candidate whose beliefs more closely align with our own. People literally died to give us that right.
My polls opened up at 8 am today and Ryan and I were there. Do a quick google search to find out where your community is voting and how long you have to get there, then brush up on the issues at hand. Bring your ID, and if you're unregistered also bring proof of your physical address {a lease, or even an electric bill with your name on it}. In New Hampshire you can register to vote at the polls. I'm sure you already know how you feel about the issues of abortion, gay marriage, the environment, small business, etc., so find the candidate whose beliefs most similarly align with your own and give them your support. Without every person's vote, our election will not have an accurate reading of the American citizens' beliefs.
Be proud that you are American – vote.

Andrew W.K. Does Live Q&A With 4chan's Music Board
- topic:
- Music
Last night Andrew W.K. answered questions about his new album, life experience and the nature of partying on 4chan's music board, or /mu/. The threads, which are viewable here and here (be warned, 4chan is full of profanity and adult content), eventually crashed 4chan's servers. 4chan is actually down as of this writing (11:30am on Feb. 14th), but I'm not sure if it's due to last night's visit from the white jeans'd rocker.
Andrew W.K.'s "Party Hard" has been a minor meme on 4chan for a while, and his devil-may-care life philosophy lines up well with 4chan's "do it for the lulz" manifesto.
Gawker has collected highlights.

Full Speed Ahead for Shipping ETF
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- So far this year, the Claymore/Delta Global Shipping (SEA) has outperformed the broader market by a wide margin, and there is reason to believe that its winning streak will continue.
Year to date, the ETF is up 14.8%, while the S&P 500 has risen only 4.5%.
The world economy is coming out of recession, and the U.S. is finding that there is strong demand for its exports. Increased bilateral trade will be good for shippers because it means they can charge for cargo when their ships leave the U.S. and not just for U.S.-bound imports.
Many exporters are struggling with delays because there are too few ships in American ports, and this will give the shipping industry an opportunity to reduce its idle capacity. During the recession, companies put ships on standby, reducing capacity, in the same way that airlines reduce flights when passenger demand is lower.The result was that in 2009, about 500 ships, or 11% of the total shipping industry's capacity, was idle. If these companies can step up to meet the new demand for export shipping from the U.S., it will mean greater profits and better earnings for the components of SEA. The trend of increasing exports from the U.S. will also enjoy support from the government, as the Obama administration has voiced support for a reduction in America's trade deficit. It is not only the export picture from the U.S. that is improving. Importers to America have also reported that there has been difficulty in securing cargo space for shipments, meaning that a shipping recovery is proceeding due to increasing consumption that will only get stronger as unemployment decreases in the U.S. The fund provides exposure to shippers from multiple countries. SEA allocates 18.0% of its net assets to Greek companies. Shippers from the U.S. account for 13.0% of the fund, while firms registered in Bermuda and the Bahamas account for 9.9% and 8.5%, respectively.

Ahead of the 2015 general elections, the governor of Kaduna State, Mr Mukhtar Yero, has assured the leadership of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) that fairness, equity and social justice will be enthroned in the state in order to sustain peace and harmonious coexistence in the state.
While visiting the national chairman of the party, Mr Adamu Muazu, in Abuja, Mr Yero said that he would continue to extend a hand of fellowship to all aggrieved persons and advised the leadership of the party to do the same at the national level.
The governor was accompanied by a former governor of the state, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, members of the state House of Assembly and other top party officials from the state.

Baba, Hanim Norza and Jusoff, Kamaruzaman (2009) The organizational structure for environmental protection in Malaysia. Journal of Environmental Science and Engineering, 3 (3). pp. 64-69. ISSN 1934-8932
Full text not available from this repository.
Management has addressed the critical issue of environmental protection by developing environmental management systems. The purpose of this research is to describe the organizational structure for environmental protection, an attribute of environmental management systems of privately held companies, certified with MS ISO 14001. Descriptive statistics are reported for the primary data. The commonly reported attributes provide evidence of high-level commitment to environmental protection: written environmental policy statement, corporate-level environmental management function, and Board of Directors' responsibility for oversight of environmental affairs. Findings indicate that companies have educational programs and environmental goals to disseminate environmental management values throughout their organizations.

Motorcyclist hits pedestrian, minivan in Wilmington
Wilmington police are investigating a Saturday night accident where a pedestrian was hit by a motorcycle.
Police responded to a 911 call for the crash in the 2200 block of North Market Street, and found both the pedestrian, a male in his early twenties, and the motorcyclist, a male in his early forties, lying in the street with injuries.
Preliminary investigation suggests the pedestrian walked unaware into the pathway of as the motorcycle as it traveled south bound in the 2200 block of North Market Street.
After colliding with the pedestrian, police say the motorcycle collided with a minivan that was parked in the block.
The pedestrian and the motorcyclist were transported to Christiana Hospital by ambulance for treatment; their conditions are unknown at this time. The investigation is ongoing.

Like all urban rivers, the history of the Chao Phraya is intertwined with the city it flows through. The original site was chosen by early settlers because of its fertility and abundant fish. Later King Taksin, after the fall of Ayutthaya to the Burmese, located his new capital here, on the western banks today known as Thonburi.
In 1782 King Rama I, finding the eastern banks more favourable, founded modern Bangkok and celebrated the occasion by building some of the world's most beguiling temples. Later still the canals it feeds became famous, earning Bangkok its 'Venice of the East' epithet. And, meanwhile, eminent Western authors like Maugham, Conrad and Coward were singling out the Chao Phraya as one of their favourite spots in the Far East.

Truly, the River of Kings - as King Rama I named it - is the lifeblood of Bangkok. And not just because of this rich history. Around 50,000 people still use its ferries to get to each day. Slow barges bearing cargo coast upstream. Kids still frolic in the russet-brown water. Wooden shacks, mottled by the elements, still lurch over the water.
Soaring hotels and condominiums hem in solemn temples, churches and civic buildings that look 19th century European, while yards away the odd wooden sampan sells noodle soup or dried squid to hungry river workers. It is this juxtaposition of calm and chaotic, modern and traditional, religious and secular, ugly and sublime, foreign and indigenous that makes the Chao Phraya so evocative.
Five public boat lines, all operated by the Chao Phraya Express Boat company, ply the same 21km route: 'local line', 'orange', 'yellow', 'blue' and 'green-yellow'. Operating between 06:00 and 19:30 daily, each is identifiable by the coloured flag hanging off its rear.
The rush-hour only 'local line' stops at all 34 piers, while the other four are express lines stopping at only selected piers. Only the Orange Flag Line, with its flat fee of 15 baht, runs all day and on weekends – for most journeys this fits the bill. The others stop at around 09:00 and begin again at around 16:00. Cross-river ferries operate at most major piers and will drop you to the other bank for 3.5 baht (see Chao Phraya Pier Guide for details).
'Tourist Boats' are another option, offering unlimited trips to nine prominent piers for a 150 baht flat fee (service hours: 09.30 - 15.00 daily). Not a bad deal if you plan to do a lot of hopping on and off over one day, want more comfort and the sites to be pointed out to you. Bear in mind though – these run every 30 minutes while the public lines used by locals typically run every 15 to 20 minutes. Other options for exploring the river include hiring a long-tail boat (usually includes trips down the city's canals), a river cruise or dinner cruise. All give a different perspective on this fascinating river.
Phra Arthit Road runs parallel to the Chao Phraya River, stretching from Phra Sumen fort to Thammasat Universty. Lined with quaint shop-houses, cosy hole-in-the-wall restaurants, bars and cafés with live music, this is where the artsy type convene after sundown before hitting nearby Khao San Road. The nearest river pier is Phra Arthit Pier.
Thewet is scintillating. People come here to make merit by releasing fish or to feed the school of frenzied catfish scraps of bread. There's also a ramshackle yet photogenic wet market, and the Royal enclave of Dusit nearby. The nearest river pier is Thewet.
Oriental, the old Westerner Quarter with crumbling European architecture, antiques shops and the venerable Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where some of the 20th century's most eminent scribes once stayed. The nearest river pier is Oriental.
Pak Khlong Flower Market, a living breathing oriental market teeming with life and colour, is one of the most pleasant places to spend an early morning. Find fresh flowers of all species, fruits and vegetables at wholesale price. The nearest river pier is Rajinee.

A driveway alarm can be that extra layer of home security that you need! For those of you who already have an alarm system in place, a driveway alarm protects the parameter of your home and will instantly warn you of unwanted intruders. It can be useful for reasons beyond security too, as the driveway alarm can also give you that extra time to greet an approaching guest or to answer the door.
The new DCMT-2500 Dakota Alert Duty Cycle Motion Transmitter is similar to its successful predecessor, the WMA-3000, in that it is used to monitor remote locations and detect people, vehicles, or large animals entering your property. What sets the DCMT-2500 truly apart from the WMA-3000 and other driveway alarms, however, is that the signal between this transmitter and the receiver can range up to an impressive 1,500 feet! The weatherproof transmitter operates on a single 9-volt battery and is easily mountable on a tree or post near the driveway.
How It Works:
The DCMT-2500 is used with the DCR-2500 - Dakota Alert Duty Cycle Receiver. The DCMT-2500 uses a passive infrared detector to detect people, vehicles or large animals at the monitored location. When the transmitter detects an object, it will send a signal to the receiver, which will sound one of four different tones (Classical, Westminster Chime, Ding Dong or Whistle) for a few seconds.
The DCR-2500 - Dakota Alert Duty Cycle Receiver will receive a signal from the DCMT-2500 - Dakota Alert Duty Cycle Motion Transmitter, which can be placed as much as 1,500 feet away from the receiver. The DCR-2500 requires no license to operate and features four chime tones to choose from.
The DCR-2500 receiver comes with 4 form "C" relay outputs and 1 12V output which can be programmed to activate for:
- 1 seconds
- 10 seconds
- 60 seconds
- 10 minutes
Moreover, the DCR-2500 receiver also features a brand new "Reminder" Feature. What this means is that you can choose to allow the unit to flash small LED lights and/or have it sound an audible "Beep" every 15 minutes after an event is triggered in case you missed it.
- Built-in volume control
- Four Different Chimes Tones
- Volume Control
- LED Reminder Lights
- Comes with 12V Power Supply
PLEASE NOTE: The Dakota Alert 2500 series alarms DO NOT work with the Dakota Alert 3000 series.

- Setting the unit up was easyReview by Jake
I was hoping the DCMT-2500 had a nice 35~45 degree detection cone. It's really more like 2~5 degrees, this is almost a break beam type of sensor. The target has to literally cross perpendicularly to the sensor to trigger an alarm.
Setting the unit up was easy, and it came with flat mounting hardware and a ball and socket type of mount so you can point it in different directions.
If you need to monitor a path where people MUST cross this unit will alert you of their crossing the path.
If you're wanting to monitor a chunk of your yard or a nice 120 degree cone I'd suggest the IR-3000 series, it detects much larger swaths of ground. However it's not weatherproof like the DCMT-2500. (Posted on 6/12/14)

|Be careful not to smash your shins (or your mouth) on the lip of the roof if you fall off above it. It's nice to have a top-notch belayer that can either pay out some slack, or reel some in, depending where you fall from. Better yet, just don't let go and send!

For the past few years, employees have been at the heart of the mobility revolution, blending personal, and business technology to make themselves more productive. Now, increasingly we see enterprises embracing mobility as a core part of their business and IT strategies to drive revenue, enhance customer engagement, and be more competitive. However, some are more successful than others in taking advantage of the opportunities mobility creates. For the fourth consecutive year, Unisys commissioned a global study to chart the growth of mobile technology within enterprises and explore the business advantages it creates. This year the research conducted on our behalf by IDG Research Services reveals a new class of Mobility Trendsetters that benefit measurably from mature planning and execution of mobility programs. Who are these Mobile Trendsetters and what are they doing to get ahead and stay ahead? What can your organization learn from them about strategy, policy and governance to avoid falling into the Mobile Void? What business benefits do these Trendsetters achieve through a mature approach to mobility?
Download the Research Report: From Mobile Void To Mobile Enterprise. Keeping Up With Mobility Trendsetters. Versions are available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.
This year's study is based on insights gleaned from more than 400 director-level or higher executives worldwide. It reveals the new class of Mobile Trendsetters that have embraced mobility as a core business strategy and are moving steadily up the mobile maturity curve. The further an enterprise stands along the scale of mobile maturity, the greater its business gains.
Here are some key highlights of the research findings:
Many Mobile Trendsetters are taking it to new levels by transforming business processes and focusing on customer-facing initiatives.
Half of all respondents cite increases in customer satisfaction, business process speed, and employee satisfaction as the leading factors for ROI measurement.
Enterprises further up the mobility maturity scale, factor the entire mobile environment in their strategies, addressing devices, apps, strong security, expense management, and employee support services targeted to employees' specific job functions and personal use profiles.

Soviet Union, the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) provided support for education in critical areas of national need. NDEA provided funding to enhance research facilities; fellowships for thousands of graduate students pursuing degrees in science, mathematics, engineering, and foreign languages; and low-interest loans to undergraduates in these fields. Funding for NDEA (adjusted to 2008 U.S. dollars) was about $500 million to $600 million. By the 1970s, other federal programs had largely superseded NDEA, but those provided an important further expansion of federal support for undergraduate education through student loans, tax policy, and grants.1
There is growing consensus that we are again at one of those moments when we need bold action. Technology has driven American growth and provides opportunities for the future. The competition for talent, both domestically and globally, is challenging U.S. technological leadership, and the nation needs to act. Talent is one of the important keys to innovation and competitive success. The master's-trained segment of the science workforce is pivotal: strengthened master's education in the natural sciences will prepare professionals who bring scientific knowledge and also the ability to anticipate, adapt, learn, and lead where and when needed.
The traditional science master's degree does not meet this need. A reinvigorated master's degree in the natural sciences provides an opportunity to meet this challenge by training adaptive innovators and service scientists solidly based in science, linked to industry, and possessing communication, business, and teamwork skills. The enhanced master's programs recommended in the following section will provide students with connections to real-world problems. The graduates will be entrepreneurial, experienced in teamwork, and focused on problem solving. The programs will produce graduates who have a deep knowledge of science, the ability to work at the intersection of science fields, and practical business skills that will allow them to make a contribution in the workplace from day one.
The time is now right to accelerate and spread nationally the development of this new concept—that is, professional science master's (PSM) education that is interdisciplinary in character, strongly emphasizes effective communication and problem solving, and provides an understanding of entrepreneurial skills and technical innovation. Successful programs that have responded to this challenge have engaged collaboratively a broad set of stakeholders—employers, prospective students, faculty, government agencies, and other funders—in designing curricula, defining

Took these to Hawaii this April and they beat everything the islands had to throw at 'em! Lenses cover exceptionally well and they just look sick all over!! I'm in agreement with the integrity of the arms over time but if you're not getting into crazy amounts of trouble you should be just fine.

I feel extremely proud to present my friend and running partner Bharath's band, Euphony on my blog. I was invited to their debut performance and I must say that they just lived up to the definition of the word as above. Their music was indeed very agreeable and pleasing with beautiful classical touch to all their songs both by mellifluous sounds of Santoor and brilliant vocals by Koushik and Bharath. The concert was held in K.H. Kalasouda in Hanumantnagar, Bangalore. I wish the band a great future.
The band line up was:
Koushik Aithal on vocals
Bharath BJ on vocals and synthesizer
Sandip Chatterjee on santoor
Ashwin on keyboards
Sanjoy Banerjee on tabla
Pramath Kiran on drums

Staff / bed / hotel area
Superb service from manager and staff – very welcoming, friendly, courteous and attentive. Elegant spacious lobby, and very comfortable room with some nice touches to make it just that little but special. A home away from home.
Wifi access had to be re-initiated everytime I opened my laptop.
A great location - very central and easy to get to everything. Decor (in the completed parts) is nice and the rooms, though small, were well appointed. It's all going to look great when it's finished.
One lift, which when actually working was painfully slow. We were late for a couple of reservations becuse we waited so long for the lift (& could not take the stairs because of the work going on on the floor below). We were aware that work was taking place in the hotel and this didn't bother us on the whole, though it was pretty noisy in the morning - no chance of a lie-in! Might have been better on the higher floors away from the renovation work. We would have liked to have coffee/tea in the room, though it's good that it is provided in the lobby.
Perfectly situated accommodation(although one of the neighbouring properties had interesting adult paraphenalia on window display), rooms were tastefully designed, though a little on the compact side. Once the refurbishment is complete I think it will be a lovely little boutique hotel - perfect for discovering Manhattan.
Single glazed windows did result in some street noise, and the lift (elevator) was the slowest thing known to man!
Location was great for walking around the city
Renovations were taking place I think it will be great when all is finished Lift is very slow
Clean, new great location, friendly helpful staff.
One Elevator
Superb location in the Flatiron District. Close to multiple subway stations and lines. Great coffee just down the street. Great range of restaurants and local food options. Hotel is being transformed back into it's 1930's heyday. Our room was a recently renovated King - very comfortable and large by NYC standards.
One slow lift - but it's only for a couple of minutes. We had trouble with the Wi-Fi service a few times, but dealt with well. Hotel is being renovated - a minor inconvenience - but be aware
Gershwin is a cosy hotel in a great location in Midtown Manhattan. The rooms were clean and comfy, and great staff in the foyer at all times.
There was only one lift to service 13 floors which can make for a frustrating wait. There is construction going in on some of the floors which was not an issue bar that it limited access to the stairs which was an alternative to waiting on one lift.
The location is great, Flatiron and you're literally a block from Madison Square Park. Staff was nice, rooms were clean. A great affordable option for Manhattan.
Slowest elevator known to man. Hard to maintain a warm temperature in the room. It was either hot or cold.
Room decor, helpful porter, not far from station
Windows in bathroom - office workers across the street can straight through to bathroom. Slow lifts. Noisy street below.
The Bed was fabulous. The room is small but hey, it's in the center of Manhattan.
That the bathroom window is open to neighboring rooms and apartments. that they are in construction and its dusty and you still have to deal with a lot of noise.
The room was clean and comfortable. I liked the newely remodeled rooms.
The Hotel was under construction in the lobby and on some of the floors. Only one undersized elevator available.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was as promised and the hotel even stored our luckage as we had to do a business trip to another city. Beds were extremely comfortable. The room was small (2 king size beds) as always in New York but clean. WiFi was included in the price of the room and it was working farely well.
Some street noice as the window was facing the street. Some ongoing construction in the hotel but it didn't bother us much. The slowest lift in the world.
Great location, good value, beautiful old and new style combined.
Lobby was very hot.
Good location and wifi.
The room was so small. Wasn't informed that construction of the hotel was ongoing. Carpet seemed dirty. Cleaning lady didn't refill toiletries.
Location Everything was new and clean
-the room was much smaller than described here -no breakfast -the elevator was incredibly slow (they were still renewing the building as of beginning of november... maybe some day the 2nd elevator will work too) they definitely should do something about it
Excellent location, and lovely clean room with HUGE bed and modern bathroom, a perfect base for exploring the city.
The only down side to the hotel is the lift, it was SO SLOW!! (minor issue though)
Good location Big room, comfotrable and clean, stylish and 100% renew
No heat in the bathroom, very cold
The best thing about this hotel is the location. The renovated rooms were nice. If they had been done to a higher spec this hotel could be charging top dollar but there are too many let downs.
The windows were old and had huge gaps so the noise from outside was ridiculous. I know NY is noisy but i expect at least a little insulation. This really should have been dealt with in the renovation by at least putting in some thick curtains rather than thin sheets across the windows. For this reason alone, I would not stay here again.
Everything else. Especially the bathroom hardware.
My bathroom had a window that couldn't close, so it was very cold in there. Also there was only one passenger elevator at this stage in the renovation process (November 2014).
friendly and helpful stuff,nice and comfy room
no kettle,no slippers,no toothbrush
Clean, comfortable room. Nice staff. Perfect location
Slow elevator
Close to MoMath, Rooftop terrace, Empire State and walking distance (10 to 30 blocks) from fancy restaurants in Chelsea (like buddakan), Times Square through Broadway ave., excellent location. There is a Japanese guy in the staff who is very pleasant
They are remodeling the hotel, so the elevators are lazy, the reception is for sure not beautiful right now...
Perfect hotel. A fantastic place to experience the spirit of this hipster neighborhood. Rooms big, very clean and nice furnished. Really liked the music note bathroom and the old vinyl record in the bedroom. Awesome!!!! The housekeeping team was very good too. Only minus is the lobby and the elevator. But finishing renovations I think it will be exactly as good as the rest of the hotel. But thumps up for the Mac computers in the lobby. All of the front desk staff and concierges were very friendly and helpful. Especially Arielle did a very good job. Getting around in New York from here is . A bunch of good diners very close to the hotel, so don't worry about eating! I really enjoyed staying at the Gershwin. Thank you for a really pleasant stay. I'll be back someday.
great place to stay in NYC, the hotel has been renovated and is very comfortable. Nice staff, great location.
slow elevator or old windows might be a bit disturbing, but they are to be renovated/changed soon.

Made with excellent materials and fine techniques, with attention to the smallest detail. It has tatami mats, as well as an arched ceiling, a lacquered tokonoma corner, and even a wooden veranda.

Jeff Koons invades …the gilded chambers and sculpted gardens of the Château de Versailles …in recent years has displayed only a few select works of contemporary artists. The exhibition of 17 Koons sculptures marks the first time that the chateau built by Louis XIV has organized so ambitious a retrospective of one contemporary artist.
Not everyone here was as pleased by the installation. Several dozen people demonstrated outside the palace gates early Wednesday, a protest organized by the National Union of Writers of France, a little-known, right-wing group dedicated to artistic purity in France. The group's chairman demanded that the exhibit be canceled.

Senko Hanabi (incense stick firework) is a thin shaft of twisted paper about 20 centimeters long with one end containing a few grains of a special gunpowder. Senko hanabi are always included in the packets of fireworks and are always done last to finish off the family fireworks which wouldn't be complete without them. There is a sadness to senko hanabi. They evoke mono no aware, the flash of sadness at the beauty and briefness of life.

Gagosian has released an edition of 3000 porcelain puppy vases signed and numbered by the artist Jeff Koons. Having first made a splash on the contemporary art scene back in 1998, the design took cues from Koons's mongo-sized puppy sculpture (1992), which was filled with over seventeen thousand flowers. "The vase is a symbol of love, warmth, and happiness," says Koons.

Olympus steps in to pick up where Flip left off
Flip may be dead, but don't worry, you'll still be able to buy a standalone handheld video camera. Olympus appears to be stepping in to fill the void with their LS-20M.
The LS-20M features a 2-inch screen for showing your videos and a 1.46-inch screen for showing data about your video. I records at 1080p, comes with a 2GB memory card bundled with it and a number of different video filters to give your shots different looks. It'll also cost $299, which is a pretty steep price for this sort of thing. But hey, with fewer games in town, maybe this will become worth it to the folks still interested in this sort of thing.
