Here we show that larvae of the lycaenid butterfly Niphanda fusca secrete droplets containing trehalose and glycine. These droplets attract the larva's host ants Camponotus japonicus, which collect and protect the larvae. We comparatively investigated gustatory preference for trehalose, glycine or a mixture of the two between host (C. japonicus) and non-host (Camponotus obscuripes) species of ants in behavioral and electrophysiological experiments. Glycine itself induced no taste sensation in either host or non-host ants. The mixture of trehalose plus glycine was chosen as much as pure trehalose by non-host ants. However, the host ants clearly preferred the mixture of trehalose plus glycine to trehalose alone. When we used sucrose instead of trehalose, the mixture of sucrose plus glycine was chosen as much as sucrose alone, in both species. These behavioral data are supported by the electrophysiological responsiveness to sugars and/or glycine in the sugar-taste receptor cells of the ants. Considering that lycaenid butterflies' secretions have species-specific compositions of sugar and amino acid; our results clearly showed that such species-specific compositions of larval secretions are precisely tuned to the feeding preferences of their host ant species, in which the feeding preferences are synergistically enhanced by amino acid.

Every week, host Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode of 'Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water.' This week also features an added bonus: an exclusive video of Jeff Probst just minutes after the first Tribal Council giving his take on what went down.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, here we go again Jeff, and let's start off this season's Q&A series with the start of the first episode. Obviously you are looking for some emotion at the beginning there as you force two loved ones to face-off, and you got all of it and then some. Talk about the switch from Jeremy talking trash to his wife to then breaking down after he realizes he has just sent her to Exile Island and may have compromised her position in the game.
JEFF PROBST: The Jeremy-Val situation is a perfect example of how the addition of "blood" complicates Survivor. The opening hero challenge dictates that your success can only come at the expense of your loved one. So what do you do? You want to show your value to your tribe but you can only do it by sending your loved one to Exile Island. That moment of truth is always so much more difficult than the players ever think it will be. You could see it play out with Jeremy. His adrenaline pushed him to success in the challenge and then as he was standing there next to me, the consequence of that action came to the surface as he realized what it meant for his wife.

JeniLeeSK8's PROFILE
JeniLeeSK8 |
I'm all for new episodes ASAP however MTV never airs challenge and RW at the same time so, while i had a feeling they'd do this, I feel like they moved the challenge premiere up to almost capitalize on the publicity the show is getting because of these deaths and maybe gain viewers and it puts a bad taste in my mouth. For as long as i can remember mtv aired RW then as soon as that ended the challenge premiered. It cant be coincidental that they changed this pattern now :-/
its funny that they said that because all of CTs friends and some mutual friends of theirs have posted about them being together. very conflicting. there are pics of them from August that are very lovey dovey
me too!!
Personally, I see where you're coming from about CT in general but I feel like you're maybe only remembering how he was on Duel 2 after their breakup. His brother had just been recently murdered and Diem didnt come to the funeral hence his anger then. I didn't really see him treat her poorly before or after that – he was always the one encouraging her to be comfortable without her wig and that she was beautiful no matter what. He always seemed to play into his "bad guy" character on the show in his interactions with everyone else but was a softie around her :-) He's been with her at the hospital this whole time.
I'm hoping they don't cut her out of the show and instead use her brief appearance to promote MedGift somehow….maybe a fundraising thing after her last appearance or the cast auctioning off their challenge memorabilia with the proceeds going to medgift.
Here's one of her and CT's cast pics for the new season :-)
@Trent here's a really nice post about Diem and about her and CT from one of CT's friends
I really hope MTV handles this respectfully on the show. I hope they asked Diem what her preference was for the new season….she was only there for a week or two before she collapsed and had to leave so the courteous thing to do would have been to ask her if she would prefer her footage all completely cut as if she was not there or to show it (except for her collapse. NOBODY needs to see that). Regardless MTV better do a special on her with the cast telling stories about her and celebrating her life and hopefully they highlight her MedGift organization in the process!
Jennie Garth and Luke Perry!
If I planned a trip to Europe for months on end then wasn't allowed into a museum on the day i planned because celebs basically shut it down for themselves last minute……I can't describe how livid I would be
2 big holes to fill….Justified ends in the spring too which I am heartbroken about!
I'm I'm late to the party…..catching up on weeks worth of posts!
My most memorable was only a little over a year ago. June 22 2013. As a teen I was a ginormous 98 Degrees fan and have remained so all these years. I was so excited for their reunion tour last summer. When I saw them in concert as a teen I was in the 2nd to last row. This time I was 3rd row and got to meet them at the meet and greet. Then since it was my b day week they surprised me by picking me as one of the 4 girls they brought on stage to serenade with My Everything. Best night everrrrrr!

I am Professor Emeritus at Bangor University. I was an undergraduate and postgraduate at Oxford University (1953-1959), where my supervisor was the inimitable Henry Whitehead. When he died suddenly in 1960, Michael Barratt took charge, and I got my DPhil in 1962. I was lecturer at Liverpool (1959-64), Senior Lecturer and then Reader at Hull University (1964-1970), and then Professor at Bangor from 1970.
I published a text "Elements of Modern Topology" with McGraw Hill in 1968, and the 3rd edition is now available as "Topology and Groupoids" from amazon, see my web page. It was writing this book, and trying to clarify certain points, such as the fundamental group of the circle, that got me into the area of groupoids; this suggested the area of higher groupoids; research on this got going in the 1970s, and has been a major area in my work, with fortunate collaborations, and contributions from research students.
You can see most of my publications on my web site, on such topics as general topology, algebraic topology, group theory, category theory, with many on aspects of groupoids and their generalisations. There are also papers on popularisation and teaching, and on the sculptor John Robinson. One main book is the editions (1968, 1988) of the book which is now "Topology and groupoids" (2006), the last published privately to keep the price down.
I am also a joint author of a 703 page book "Nonabelian algebraic topology" published in 2011 by the European Mathematical Society. It sets out a quite new framework for basic algebraic topology, based on work over 40 years, mainly jointly with Philip Higgins, on the development and applications of higher order Seifert-van Kampen theorems, and related results. A pdf is available on my web page.
I have given a number of general lectures, to audiences from children to other scientists, including a Royal Institution Friday Evening Discourse "Out of Line" in 1992. Links to this and to various articles and presentations are available from my Preprint page and from my Popularisation and Teaching page.

The Seifert-Van Kampen theorem as a push-out
Since you ask for free further reading I mention this paper: pages.bangor.ac.uk/~mas010/pdffiles/brown-razak.pdf which gives the statement for a general cover and a set of base points, and the proof by verification of the universal property. This is the proof that generalises to higher dimensions. For a discussion, see pages.bangor.ac.uk/~mas010/pdffiles/galway7.pdf |

Homotopy Invariance: Cone Construction and Prisms Operators
I just mention that the EMS Tract vol 15 partly titled "Nonabelian algebraic topology" and advertised at pages.bangor.ac.uk/~mas010/nonab-a-t.html has a quite different approach to basic homology/homotopy by using cubical methods which are much more convenient for homotopies than simplicial methods. The theory using higher groupoids is quite intuitive, though harder to set up, but it does give stronger results. The Relative Hurewicz Theorem, in the strong form involving actions, becomes a consequence of a Seifert-van Kampen type theorem. |

on October 23, 2012Starting this Election Day, presumably because that's when we'll all regain our appetites, Denny's will introduce a new limited-edition menu: Hobbit food. There will be no lembas bread or mead served by the flagon (if you don't know what any of that means, seriously, don't worry about it), but there will be a Bilbo Berry Milkshake, something called a "Lonely Mountain Treasure," and our favorite, "Shire Sausage." According to AdAge, this is one of the chain's biggest movie tie-ins, and Denny's CMO Frances Allen said that the hobbits' standard two breakfasts a day are a good fit with "that whole notion of comfort eating and comfort food." Indeed. [AdAge]

Miri was a dear puppy mill momma, dumped when her heath became too fragile. Lucky for her (and her ultimate forever family) that she was brought into the folds of a rescue group who were able to get the immediate emergency medical care needed to save her life and 5 of her 6 puppies (all delivered prematurely). And lucky for us, because now we have Miri's spirit to show us that hope is never lost.
First and foremost, I am a Mom. This means I have eyes in the back of my head, spot on intuition, the patience of a saint and mountains of compassion. I am also a painter. I am asked at least once a week, �why do you paint?� Despite the frequency of this question, I have yet to come up with a particularly brilliant answer. I simply paint, because like breathing, I must. Painting is my career. It is how I help to support my family. It is how I give back to my community. It is also how I maintain my sanity. I�ve got college degrees in art and art history, an extensive professional background in many different art arenas and some odder life experiences (like writing automobile owners manuals) that add up to who I am today. My work is...

Jason Stipp: I'm Jason Stipp for Morningstar. In this difficult yield environment, we know that investors are searching high and low for a little bit of extra income. Morningstar's Christine Benz, our director of personal finance, recently did a video talking about some yield traps, some areas you want to avoid in this endeavor. But she is here today to talk about some safer ways to pick up a little bit of extra yield.
Christine, thanks for joining me.
Christine Benz: Jason, nice to be here.
Stipp: So, the first thing that I want to touch on is that, for some of these suggestions we're not saying dump every income investment that you have right now and buy all these because of the extra yield. How should you think about these ideas before we get started?
Benz: Right. So I'm not saying to completely redo your asset allocation. So a couple of the ideas I have are stock related. I'm not saying that dividend-yielding stocks are an appropriate substitute for bonds. These are mainly things you can do around the margins of your portfolio.
Stipp: So you mentioned stocks. I think it's a good place to start as a potential income booster for your portfolio. What are you seeing as a good way to do that when you are looking at the stocks front?
Benz: Well, I was very compelled by Josh Peters' video this week talking about the dividend yield on Johnson & Johnson stock versus what the new bonds are yielding and how you are actually picking up a higher yield on the stocks than you are in the bonds. It's not something that you typically see--not a relationship that you typically see. And of course, the risk potential of the stock is much higher than the J&J bond, but you do have some capital appreciation potential plus that higher yield, which could be little bit of a cushion even if J&J stock lost money.
So, not just with J&J, but looking at high-quality dividend-paying stocks across the board I think can be a very good strategy. You can pick up a little extra yield and also get some capital appreciation potential.
Stipp: So if you're on Morningstar.com, what's a good way to start to narrow down some of those higher-quality choices?

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm very pleased about the Magento Shop and would like to create some Shops with it. But right now I cannot find any information or tutorial which describes how to implement a hole new component into magento. Just extending or overriding existing ones. And without informations about the Structure and the functionality of the backend or about the class structure, its almost impossible to do this in an appropiate amount of time.
Has anyone found a tutorial ? or something like that.
I think the Screen cast on themes does tell you that doesn't it?
I think Maze is asking about creating a module - not a theme - the difference being that a module provides additional functionality - for example the newsletter component. Cheers Adam
@Maze - the best place to start is to look at some of the existing modules in app/code/core
Ah I see, yes if thats what he wants, I agree, he s/b able to glean from the examples of existing modules.
Yes I want to develop a userspecific Component for my Customer. I'll try it by looking at existing ones, but without information about XML Files and Module Structure its hard to implement a Component the right way and using the existing Design Patterns.
Thanks for your answers.
I dunno if he had the answer he was looking for but I need to know something along those lines too.
Is it possible not to change the core code for adding functionalities to magento ?
Nevermind… Found the answer using my brain ... and also the search function
Thanks anyway!!
Well would it be possible to point us in this aforementioned direction you've found?

A state judge in Manhattan has denied a request by the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation to block the attorney general's office from beginning the discovery phase of a lawsuit over allegations of widespread abuse of horses under the care of the charitable organization.
Supreme Court Judge Anil Singh, in a Nov. 7 ruling, rejected a request to delay the discovery phase while TRF appeals an early ruling in the case.
"After careful consideration, the court finds that a stay of discovery would prejudice the attorney general's efforts to ensure that the horses are cared for properly and treated humanely,'' the judge wrote in the decision. "Halting discovery cannot be justified, for the ensuing delay may be detrimental to the horses. The animals, which rely on human beings for their basic needs, do not have the luxury of time.''
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has accused the nation's largest Thoroughbred retirement group of widespread abuse, including mistreatment that has led to equine deaths and financial mismanagement. At the very least, he is seeking the ouster of the TRF's board of directors. The foundation has denied any wrongdoing and contends that any problems have been addressed.
But the judge noted that Schneiderman, in his bid to get the discovery process underway, said the foundation's finances are in "total disarray'' and that its fiscal affairs are only worsening since the attorney general's investigation commenced. The issues include a previously undisclosed $350,000 loan taken out in July.
The attorney general said the group in September had only $6,500 in unrestricted cash and unpaid bills totaling more than $420,000; most of that, the state claims, is due to farms that care for horses taken in by the foundation.
In the state's brief seeking to deny the TRF's request, Schneiderman's lawyers wrote that the foundation is more than $1.5 million in debt and has "no viable means of becoming solvent.''
The attorney general's office has oversight authority over charitable groups operating in New York state.

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magitek
This quest is available after completing Fool Me Twice. Speak with Cid inside his workshop at Mor Dhona. He will have you speak with Wedge, who will tell you he needs an item from Ul'dah. Head to the guild there and get the mammet heart, then return to Wedge and give it to him.
Speak with him a few more times, and he will have you test run the magitek armor. Put it through its paces, then bring it back to him. He will have you /welcome it, then you will speak with Biggs, which will trigger a battle.
The battle shouldn't be very hard, as you will rarely be the focus of the enemies attention. Simply do as much damage as you can to eliminate the enemies before they are able to destroy the armor. After the battle, talk to Cid to complete the quest.

Jesse McBride can humbly note his regular performances in New Orleans jazz clubs like Snug Harbor, The Funky Butt, and Sweet Lorraines. From straight-ahead to contemporary jazz, funk, and R&B, Jesse continues to bridge gaps the styles and generations.
The Next Generation (begun by Harold Battiste) has been compared to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in New Orleans. The focus of the music is the 2nd 50 years of New Orleans Jazz. Jesse has since taken over the direction of The Next Generation with new young talent in New Orleans.
Ooooooowwwwwww! Walter "Wolfman" Washington is a New Orleans favorite! He has been entertaining locals and international audiences both for a long time. His great guitar playing and low-down funky songs are a real treat for Blues and R&B fans. Hosted by Andrew Graffe.
The Revealers are one of the most popular, high-energy reggae bands in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast area. They will be performing live in-studio to show their support of WWOZ during the Fall Membership Drive. Hosted by Murf.
Sammy Naquin lives to play music that makes people feel good, have fun and want to dance. And his music is just as hot as the gumbo he cooks up. He will be performing live in the studio with his father, Richard Naquin, to support WWOZ during our 2009 Fall Membership Drive. Hosted by Charles Laborde.

James Brosnahan Discuses Oakland Raiders Lawsuit Attorney James Brosnahan will visit Boalt on Wednesday, October 22, to discuss the recent suit by the Oakland Raiders against the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Brosnahan was counsel for the Oakland Coliseum Authority and Ed DeSilva in the suit. In August a Sacramento jury awarded the Oakland Raiders $34.2 million after finding that coliseum officials made negligent misrepresentations in talks to bring the team back from Los Angeles. However, the verdict against the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum commission was far less than the $570 million to $833 million sought by the Raiders.
James Brosnahan is a partner at Morrison & Foerster in San Francisco. Sponsored by the Sports and Entertainment Law Society, the talk will take place in 105 Boalt at 5:20 p.m. For more information, contact Erin Campbell at 510-643-8010 or firstname.lastname@example.com. (10/21/03)

LJWorld.com weblogs Tale of the Tait
What caught my eye at Day 8 of KU football's fall camp
Another early practice came with another batch of serious energy from the Kansas University football squad.
Thursday morning's first session marked the beginning of the second day of two-a-days for the Jayhawks this month and, maybe it's the cooler weather or maybe it's their hunger to prove people wrong, but the early wake-up call and looming long day has done nothing to zap the spirits of these guys.
During the time we were allowed to watch practice, I saw more than a dozen guys really bringing it in terms of energy. Some were doing that physically, with their performance during drills and from station to station and others were doing that vocally, shouting encouragement and instructions whenever they thought the intensity was dipping.
Senior defensive tackle Kevin Young was probably the most notable guy in the vocal department. During one D-Line drill, Young seemed to sense that his guys were just going through the motions and, rather than looking the other way, he spoke up.
"We're out here," Young barked. "We might as well have fun."
Immediately, the energy of the entire group perked up, as guys started screaming and hollering and going a littl harder.
Here's a quick look at what else caught my eye this morning:
• The other day, I noted that Ty McKinney looked a little sluggish. That was not the case today. Not at all. McKinney may have had the most energy of anybody I saw out there today. His juice and excitement during stretching and warm-ups carried over into the drills and even though he wasn't the fastest or the smoothest dude during the drills he definitely looked like the one giving it max effort. Good to see. I talked to him yesterday and he said he felt great and that things had been going great for him and he was starting to feel very comfortable. The guy's a load and if he's in good shape and picking things up at a good pace, he'll definitely help the D-Line this year and could emerge as a major factor.
• It might have been because I just talked to them all yesterday, but I found myself pulled to the D-Line today. Luckily, there's a lot to watch there. For the first few minutes I was over there, I zeroed in on Keba Agostinho and I have to admit he looked like a different player. Both he and Kevin Young look much more explosive and also seem to have improved their footwork a great deal. It's hard to say exactly what their roles will be this season, but if those two are regular contributors and can make a legit impact, it stands to be one of the cooler stories of the season.
• Granted, it was only a couple of drills, but former walk-on Shane Smith received a lot of love from D-Line coach Buddy Wyatt while I was out there. Makes sense to me. Smith's a hard-working, no-frills kind of guy and, even if he doesn't play a down, he still has a great deal of pride and desire to be the best he can be and do things the right way. There are a ton of guys on the depth chart ahead of him, so it would be really easy for a guy like Smith to just half-ass it. But he doesn't. Ever. That's a major credit to him and I gotta think that could at least land him some kind of role on special teams.
• Finally, I got a closer look at Andrew Bolton today and the potential is obvious. The guy is an athletic specimen and, even while recovering from the knee injury he suffered during his last season of juco ball, you can tell that he's the real deal. Listed at 6-3, 280, Bolton's explosiveness measures off the charts, as proven by the fact that while doing a leverage drill under a four-foot high platform, Bolton was the only one in the D-Line group who consistently banged his helmet off the bar while exploding out of his stance. As mentioned in this article, he's got some rust to shake off but you can see the potential for something special is there.

Conflicting sounds with custom models.
When playing online I usually switch around between GothGirl and Domina as my character models, and I use Female Nightmare as the voice. However, I've noticed that when I use GothGirl-- and when I use any custom model, for that matter, I'll hear a male voice along with a female voice whenever I'm injured, or die. However, it doesn't happen with the normally included models. I'm assuming that it's because someone on the server I play doesn't have the model I'm using, so they're hearing Jakob's voice, and in turn I am too? I don't know. I'm just hoping that there's a remedy for this, is there?
No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering. |

3.93 / 5.00 6,173 Views2006-07-12: edit. Took about 10 min. to sort the highscore problems. Also made highscore show in-game. Note to others - don't initialise all your variables on the frame you go to when you replay.
If match-3 games and mousegames got it off, this might be their child.
Let me know your top score and any specific thoughts you have. I appreciate all thoughtful reviews and respond to all.
Shapes rain down and you must eliminate them before they reach the bottom. Touch a shape to highlight it. Touch shapes of the same type to highlight them simultaneously. When you've gotten at least 3 highlighted, click the mouse to eliminate them.
You can wait to highlight up to 6, to get more points.
I think above 200 pts is a good score, over 250 is grand and over 300 is great. My top score so far is 414.
Took me 3 hours to make. Idea sparked by Miquette.
Stay funky!
My score (only played once) was 264. It's a pretty fun game, and difficult enough to make it interesting. My overall rating: 9/10.
Good score!
Glad you enjoyed it, though hopefully the finished version will be worth playing more than once.
Stay funky!
Interesting Concept
Interesting idea for a game, and certainly not bad for something whipped up in a few hours. There's not a lot of variety to the game, but I guess it's short enough that's not a big deal--although it might be interesting to see some sort of expanded version based on the same basic idea. (Which maybe is being planned anyway, given that this is said to be a "prototype"...)
The central gameplay will remain the same, but with more minor variations as you progress.
This really was just to see if I could even code it.
This is actually a nice game, it's not ground breaking or anything, but it's fun if you have a few minutes you want to kill. My only complaint is that it didn't last long enough because the shapes would drop to fast. You might want to consider making these drop a little slower while keeping the same scoring system so people can play a little longer if they've got time to kill. Since it only takes two or three minutes to play a game. Anyway good work.
Yeah, I'll totally adjust it and make it speed up slower, along with many other changes.
Thanks for the comments.
that was really great. im looking forward to the finished version, that semmed pretty finished itself. oringinal & fun.
this was really wild
i look forward to what comes after the prototype. a suggestion tho, keep it this simple..it makes it really great like this. the simplisity and artistic styling of this game make it as cool as it is. dont ruin it with over the top pwer ups or different music or anything like that. just keep it simple and im sure ittl do fine. maybe even front page :)
Cheers, man!
Don't worry. I'm not in favour of adding on new toys before I've played about with the rules governing the existing pieces.
I'm tempted to make this a level-based thing, kinda like Skears. But I'd like to experiment with the endless-type angle first.
We'll see what happens...
Thanks for the encouragement.

NYC Mayor Calls for Citywide Electronic Health Records
NYC Mayor Calls for Citywide Electronic Health Records
M.L. Baker
Posted 2006-02-02
Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposal to increase funds for electronic health records in New York City could lead to one of the world's biggest experiments in health IT.
In last years budget proposal, President George Bush called for $100 million to fund new projects in health information technology. This week, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg called for the same amount to be spent for health IT in his city. The proposalto equip 100 city-operated clinics and doctors offices with EHR (electronic health records)could lead to one of the worlds biggest experiments in health IT.
The goal is to use EHR to provide preventive care for poor patients, thus cutting hospitalization costs. While Medicaid has sponsored several pilot programs to assess whether chronic disease management can cut costs, it does not fund EHR.
Though most experts believe that health IT can cut costs and improve care, there is no comprehensive data showing how to make IT investments pay off.

The announcement follows scathing articles in the New York Times describing how successful diabetes clinics shut down for lack of funds.
While it is profitable for institutions to treat catastrophic consequences of diabetes, like amputations and other hospitalizations, preventive services usually lose money, largely because health care payers are unwilling to pay for them. In the long run, however, the amounts health care payers spend on preventable acute services far outweighs money saved by skimping on prevention. An EHR system could automate collection of diabetes information and be used to help patients better control their conditions. In December, the New York Board of Health approved a program to electronically monitor patients blood sugar levels. Laboratories would be required to send test results to the health board. Patients who do not control their blood sugar could get letters or calls from health care workers urging more frequent check-ups, healthier diets or better adherence to medication regimes. Privacy advocates complained that the move violates patients rights, but Thomas Frieden, New York Citys health commissioner countered that the toll in health care costs and human lives justifies collecting and acting on such data. Frieden is a strong advocate of aggressive preventive practice. For HIV treatment, Frieden wants to relax laws so that health officials can use identifying information collected about AIDS patients to contact doctors or patients about their care. Bloomberg echoed this goal in his State of the City speech this week. In that speech, Bloomberg announced goals of cutting the number of patients most prone to diabetes complications by 20 percent over three years.

Over the same time period, he proposes cutting the number of HIV-related deaths by 40 percent. He acknowledged that achieving this goal would require massive interventions. "Public health is a fundamental responsibility of government, and we are going to do everything we can to help New Yorkers continue living longer lives." Bloomberg proclaimed that the IT initiative would make the Big Apple national leaders for providing quality health care. Bloomberg said he would ask federal and state governments, as well as the private sector to fund the EHR initiative. The
New York City HHC (Health and Hospitals Corp.)
annually handles 5 million patients at more than 100 community clinics and 11 hospitals. HHC has an annual budget of over $4 billion.

5 Minutes With… / Terri Coates / Picture Editor
This month we spent 5 minutes catching up with Terri Coates, here's what she had to say…
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself Terri?
I'm a picture editor & photographer. I studied creative advertising at Lincoln University and I'm originally from Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Photography has been a passion of mine since I can remember, so I moved to London after finishing university, to pursue my career. I got a job at WENN, a news and celebrity picture agency. I always dreamt of art directing photo shoots since I was a little girl due to my slight obsession with the TV show 'America's Next Top Model' so when the position of Picture Assistant came up at IPC Media (now known as Time Inc. UK), I jumped at the chance. I have now been Picture Editor here in the Creative team for 4 Years.
- For people not in the industry, could you explain what being a Picture Editor entails?
A picture editor at a magazine manages a team of picture researchers. They search for and clear all rights on any images that will be used for the publication. My job differs slightly from an editorial picture editor as I work in the Creative Advertorial team, which works with both, editorial teams across varied magazines and our advertising clients. Advertorials are editorial content that is paid for by an advertising client. Our team researches and shoots all the images, which are to be used across all 24 Women and Lifestyle magazine titles at Time Inc. UK. My day-to-day work is extremely varied due to working on various campaigns and for various advertising clients. I could be in the office researching images, casting models and researching locations one day or attending client meetings and art directing a photo shoot the next.
- What are the best and worst things about your job?
I love my job! My favourite part is art directing the photo shoots. We work with such varied clientele, which means some days I could be on a fashion shoot and another times photographing celebrities or magazine readers, bloggers etc. on a location shoot. I would say the most challenging part of my job is to keep both sides happy, the editorial teams as well as the clients. Sometimes they might have a slightly different vision of what they would like from the advertorial, so great communication skills is a must.

Serbia's northernmost major city and the second largest in the formerly autonomous region of Vojvodina, with an architectural landscape much in line with Central Europe. Secessionist (Hungarian Art Nouveau) buildings dominate much of the old core, most notably the grand old synagogue and distinctive town hall. Once known as Szabadka in the kingdom of Hungary, the city retains a cosmopolitan population with a noticeable Hungarian relative majority.
Sadly, the stately, monumental theater pictured below - dating from 1854 - was demolished to huge public outcry in November of 2007, leaving a giant gap in the town center.

Newspaper Says Strickland To Run For U. S. Senate
The Youngstown Vindicator says former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland will run for the Senate next year.
Listen to the Story
In an effort to make college more affordable and get students into the job market faster, Governor John Kasich wants state institutions to accelerate degree program so students can graduate in three years. WOSU reports college administrators and students are weighing possible changes.
Ohio public colleges and universities could soon be required to offer three-year bachelor degrees. In his two-year budget, Governor John Kasich called for 10 percent of undergraduate degrees be fast-tracked by next year, and 60 percent of them by 2014.
Kasich's policy advisor Wayne Strubel spoke at the Governor's budget hearing in March.
"We believe that for talented students, especially talented students that can take AP classes who can test out of other courses, we would like to see the universities develop, and we will work with them to do this, a three-year program. So students can complete a university career in three years, thus saving their parents a lot of money," Strubel said.
For parents who have a child getting ready to go off to school this may sound like a great idea.
But one Mid-West university, that offers three-year degrees, said do not expect a big savings.
Ball State University began offering its "Degree in 3″ program six years ago. University Vice President Tom Taylor said the rigorous, accelerated degree programs are suited for very focused students who know exactly which career path they want to take. He says nursing has been a successful three-year degree program. But the costs saving are minimal.
"I think that's one of those misconceptions, people hear degree in three and think oh I'm going to save a year of tuition. And it's not that you save a year of tuition, again, you're accelerating the pace at which you're putting your requirements," Taylor said.
Taylor said the average savings for a three-year degree at Ball State is about $525 compared to a four-year degree student. The savings, he said, comes from avoiding tuition hikes.
"The majority of us are in a situation where tuition increases each year and by taking course in the summer and by moving up that time frame you're missing out on that last year of tuition increase," Taylor said.
One concern about the governor's proposal is students will miss out on a well-rounded education.
Ball State does not cut back on credit hours in its fast-tracked program.
A Cleveland-area private college has been considering a three-year bachelor degree program for a couple of years. But unlike Ball State, Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea wants to reduce the number of credit hours required for its three-year degree.
Baldwin-Wallace's Associate Vice President Jim McCargar says only electives be cut out. He said their college's telescoped degree would save students a substantial amount of money.
"With a six semester degree program that we're proposing, students would cut the cost of tuition by 25 percent," McCargar said.
That's more than $26,000 in tuition. Ohio State University began exploring the proposed requirement this week. OSU President Gordon Gee is split over the governor's plan. During an appearance on All Sides with Ann Fisher Gee said much of a student's learning comes from outside those core requirements.
"You can't have an educated population who really does not understand the value of music and art and the value of reading and understanding the value of Shakespeare and Moli re or whatever it is," Gee said.
Gee said he thinks OSU should offer options, but he's opposed to a mandatory three-year degree.
"Because of the fact that in engineering and science and humanities and a variety of other things it just doesn't make any sense, in fact, if anything a more rounded degree. But in certain instances, under certain occasions, with certain kinds of expectations it is absolutely one of those kinds of things we ought to consider," he said.
Reaction from students also is mixed.
Clayton Walter is a sophomore at OSU studying English and film.
"I think if it's not saving money it's not really that beneficial although it would allow people to get out into the real world quicker, so it kind of depends on what their priority is," Walter said.
Monica Okon is a fifth year senior studying food, agricultural and biological engineering. Okon said she's been on scholarship. But for those having to pay their way a three-year degree could be beneficial. And she does not think it would detract from the education or life lessons gained through college.
"You're first year you kind of learn of a lot of those things being away from home and all the independence being away from home. And then it's the same thing for your second year or third year. You're just not paying for the additional year or two years of college education," Okon said.
It's yet to be seen how colleges and universities would institute a fast-tracked degree, whether they reduce credit hours or whether they allow students to proficiency out of more classes.
The final budget bill is pending in the legislature.

Jury deliberates on Brownsville double slaying
An emotionally charged trial in the killing of a 10-month-old baby and rival gang member still awaits a verdict.
After a week of heart-wrenching testimony, Miami-Dade jurors Tuesday deliberated the fates of two defendants in the gang-related slayings of a 10-month-old baby and a 27-year-old man before retiring for the night.
Jimmie L. Bowen, the alleged shooter, and Bernard M. Jones, the alleged driver of the getaway car, face two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Pierre Roche and baby Derrick Days Jr. They are also charged with two counts of attempted murder in the shootings of Christopher Smith and Derrick Days Sr., the dead child's father.
Prosecutor Patricia Leiber described the December 2008 shootings as part of a turf war between the "New Moneii" gang and rivals over who could sell drugs in the Brownsville projects known as "The Rockies." Citing the testimony of fellow gang member Terrance Yarborough, Leiber said that killing Roche would bring the defendants more "money, drugs, girls, and more access to power" within the ranks of the gang.
In his closing statement, Bowen's defense attorney Richard Martinez proposed that Yarborough, who was arrested four days after the killings for an unrelated robbery, could have been the one who killed Roche and baby Derrick. The only evidence implicating Bowen, he said, was a police video with unclear audio and Yarborough's own testimony, which was offered in exchange for a plea deal on the robbery charge.
The jury will continue its deliberations Wednesday.
