When a middle school girl from rural Maine updated her Facebook page with photo of herself soldering on a circuit board, the creators of Gizmo Garden© knew the project was working—participating students were developing new images of themselves.
Bill Silver '75, SM '80 and his wife, Judy, held the winter-break workshop in February for 10 students to bolster the opportunity for technical education in a place they loved—coastal Maine—but a location with limited resources.
The couple, living fulltime in Nobleboro, Maine, for the past five years, wanted to find a way to contribute to their community in a meaningful way. Bill Silver, a co-founder of the machine vision systems maker Cognex, and Judy Silver, who worked at Cognex in marketing and sales, drew on their technical and outreach skills. Working from MIT Edgerton Center curriculum models, they developed a week-long workshop that brought middle school students together in a local library and invited them to create their own projects using their newly acquired skills of breadboarding and soldering electronics onto circuit boards.
The Silvers, at their former home near Cognex's headquarters in Natick, Massachusetts, routinely visited Boston's Museum of Science and the MIT Museum, says Bill Silver, who continues to work remotely from Maine as a Cognex senior vice president. "Technology was in the air there,' he says, "it's not in the air up here."
Feeling empowered to work with electronics could transform the five girls and five boys selected for the program, says Judy Silver. "As wonderful as this community is, kids growing up here don't see engineering and technical careers as even in their universe. And now the kids see they can do this. And they have seen what young professionals can do from the videos we showed them."
The Silvers plan to continue the Gizmo Garden project in 2016, again working from an established curriculum and adding their own opportunities for creativity and cooperation. This year they based the project on the Edgerton K-12 electronics curriculum course created initially for i2 Camp. Local TV produced a short video that shares student projects from a spinning a disco ball to recreating an Hawaii wind storm.

Cathy Kenworthy has always sought challenging problems—as a McKinsey management consultant; in executive roles at GE, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase; and even at leisure. She's a self-described "fanatic for finding the hardest sudokus and crossword puzzles."
Today, as CEO of Interactive Health, she leads an organization that's addressing an especially knotty challenge: high costs and mediocre outcomes in the U.S. health-care system.
Her work doesn't involve new drugs or diagnostic equipment but, as she puts it, "simple principles broadly applied" to employees of more than 2,000 client companies. "We get hired to help employees be healthier through preventive care," she explains.
Nutrition, activity level, and tobacco use are three areas of emphasis. "It's so simple, but so profound," says Kenworthy. "One area where we can generate tremendous impact is in the prevention of diabetes, which is a major life-altering event. You never stop being diabetic: it affects your longevity, it complicates many other medical conditions, and treatment costs a minimum of $20,000 annually."
Interactive Health's data analytics group, which Kenworthy built in her previous COO role, can now show the impact of the company's work with pre-diabetics through counseling, coaching, and goal setting: 40 percent of them returned to normal health within one year.
"That's a gigantic number, off the charts in any clinical sense," she says. "And it's one of the best things you can do for someone."
Kenworthy originally planned to apply that type of compassionate problem solving as a doctor. During her sophomore year at Georgetown University, she was accepted to the university's medical school, but after working in an emergency room and reflecting on her goals, she chose to major in chemistry and mathematics. She graduated in 1987 and went to work in finance.
At the Sloan School, Kenworthy gained insight from her classmates, who came from diverse lines of work and corners of the world. "I'd come from Wall Street with a total focus on financial engineering," she says. "Sloan helped me consider the many ways to think about the topic of business."
Kenworthy and her husband, William, are recent transplants to the Chicago area and have three teenage sons. They enjoy cooking together and are avid hikers, skiers, and walkers.

Water, essential to the survival of all living things, is scarce in many developing nations. Lack of water for drinking, bathing, and farming effects the quality of life, health, and productivity. With this in mind, Kevin Simon and his team at the Tata Center are working on addressing these issues in India this week—Simon's sixth trip in the past year and a half.
Simon, an Engineering Systems Division graduate student, is developing irrigation technology to meet the needs of agriculture in India. Water shortages, caused by inconsistent access to fresh water and no mass-produced commercial pumps for farmers, result in underdeveloped crops and inefficient farming practices. Simon has co-invented low-cost, solar-powered pumps that enable farmers to access shallow water for irrigation. This innovation has the potential to give approximately 20 million farmers access to water without the need for deep wells and expensive diesel generators.
"Witnessing this sort of resource-constrained environment has driven me to focus on figuring out how to help these people most effectively," says Simon.
During his last trip, Simon deployed two of the pumps in Southern Jharkhand, India, along with fellow graduate student Katherine Taylor and mechanical engineering senior Marcos Esparza. The farmers have been successfully operating the system and are already seeing results. "India and other developing countries are facing huge challenges and how they address those challenges will have a lot of say in the future of our planet," says Simon. "It's important for us to be engaged with these countries and working in partnership with them."
This project was recently recognized, along with other campus-wide initiatives, as part of the MIT Innovation Initiative, an Institute-wide effort that encourages the Institute's innovative ecosystem, which was launched in 2013 by President L. Rafael Reif.
"The Tata Center is a great example of rigorous MIT research being pushed in new directions," says Simon. "There's a cross-pollination of ideas with our partners in India that helps us grow as students, engineers, and entrepreneurs. We get pushed out of our comfort zone and sometimes the things we believe are challenged. The MIT Innovation Initiative shows that we, as an Institute, are not complacent. We're asking new questions and looking for new ways to approach old problems."
Other Innovation Initiatives include a proposed innovation and entrepreneurship undergraduate minor, a semester for innovative "passion projects," and a Laboratory for Innovation Science and Policy.

The US Postal Service announced the issue of a stamp honoring 1965 Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman '39 on August 14, 2004. The day of the announcement was the independence day of Tannu Tuva, and it wasn't a coincidence. Feynman and his friend and drumming partner Ralph Leighton had spent years trying to visit this small central Asian country near Mongolia.
It all started with a stamp.
In the 1920s and 30s, Tannu Tuva's uniquely shaped diamond and triangle-shaped stamps were in high demand among stamp collectors. "Stamp designers were working away on these wonderful idyllic themes…which were firing the imaginations of kids around the world," said Leighton.
As one of those young stamp enthusiasts, Feynman became entranced by Tuvan stamps' dramatic illustrations of camels racing trains, horse wranglers, and cattle mongers against otherworldly, mountainous scenes.
Fifty years later, Leighton and Feynman had a dinner conversation about geography, and Feynman mentioned his love of Tuvan stamps. The pair decided to travel to Tuva, which turned into an 11-year quest detailed in Leighton's book Tuva or Bust! In a documentary about their plans, Feynman said of Tannu Tuva, "any country with a capital Kyzyl has just got to be interesting….we had discovered our Shangri-La."
Getting to the country was no small feat. At the time, Tuva was under the rule of the USSR and was rumored to be a testing ground for atomic bomb research. "I'm sure we were being watched," recalls Leighton. "People couldn't figure out why these guys would want to go to Tuva, especially someone who worked on the bomb." (Feynman famously worked on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos)
The pair learned phrases of the Tuvan language, dreamed up crossing the border from Mongolia in shepherds' disguises, acquired a rare recording of a Tuvan throat singer—Tuva is famous for this unique type of overtone music—and collaborated on a traveling exhibition of nomadic culture that turned out to be the largest ever from the Soviet Union. Feynman never made it to Tuva—he died in 1988—but Leighton and his wife were finally able to visit a few months later.
After Feynman died, Leighton launched another years-long campaign with his organization Friends of Tuva to petition the US Postal Service to honor his friend with a commemorative stamp. But not just any stamp—a diamond-shaped Tuvan stamp.
"We definitely wanted to make a connection between Feynman stamp collecting, Tuva, and a US postage stamp," said Leighton. In one tongue-and-cheek mock-up stamp they dreamed up, Feynman is dressed as a shaman holding elements of his famous Feynman diagram with Tuvan throat singer Kongar-ol Ondar.
Thousands of letters and many signed petitions later, the Postal Service ultimately decided to feature Feynman in a stamp series on American scientists.

Katy Croff Bell '00 has helped discover dozens of ancient shipwrecks and new species of marine organisms. Now she brings the abyss to your desk, streaming her adventures aboard the Exploration Vessel Nautilus via Nautiluslive.org.
"The most exciting part of what I do is share discoveries in real time with millions of people all over the globe," Bell says.
At MIT, Bell worked with Professor David Mindell PhD '96, and his then-new Deep Water Archaeology group. They undertook expeditions to the Black Sea, working off small Turkish fishing boats, checking out features on the seafloor with a side-scan sonar and a remotely operated underwater vehicle.
"It was great experience to apply what I was learning in classes at MIT to a project in the field," Bell says. It was also a chance to work with underwater archaeologist Robert Ballard, who found the Titanic.
Bell was a leader of several marine and engineering student societies at MIT, and she helped create an umbrella organization called 13SEAs, the Course 13 Student Engineering Association, which lives on as MIT's ocean engineering, naval architecture, and marine technology student organization.
After graduation, Bell served as a marine policy fellow in NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration in Washington. In 2006, National Geographic Society awarded Bell an Emerging Explorer Award. She earned a master's degree in maritime archaeology at England's University of Southampton, and then she joined Ballard's research group at the University of Rhode Island, where she earned a PhD in geological oceanography in 2011.
She's now the vice president and chief scientist of Ocean Exploration Trust, leading expeditions on Nautilus in the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico. "We're going to places that have never been explored to see what's there," she says. "There are things we can't even conceive of out there, and it will take a long, long time to fully understand our own planet."
In 2014, Joi Ito named Bell an MIT Media Lab Director's Fellow, a two-year appointment. "It's been fun to come back and reconnect with incredible people doing groundbreaking research at the Institute," she says. "I've been talking with Professor Ed Boyden, who uses fluorescent proteins to map neuron connections in the brain. There are marine organisms that glow; we can study their genomes and, we hope, identify new proteins and combine what we're doing, pushing the boundaries of both our fields."
Bell and her husband, fisheries biologist Rich Bell, live in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and are expecting their first child in April. During her maternity leave, Bell plans to use telepresence technology to participate in the 2015 Nautilus expedition through the Panama Canal to the Galápagos Islands from April through December.

Cybersecurity is a topic that MIT has been addressing since the 60s, before personal computers were even on the market. Today, as security breaches threaten both personal and professional networks, MIT has announced plans to address the problem from three angles: technology, public policy, and organizational management.
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) Director Daniela Rus answered a few questions for Slice of MIT about the new initiatives:
What expertise can MIT offer for these programs?
One of MIT's first efforts in cybersecurity was developing time-sharing computers in the 60s that could be used by multiple people at once. As soon as this system was developed, they knew that they also needed to think critically about the necessary infrastructure to keep users' information safe. In fact, since different users had to sign in and out of the system, by many accounts MIT is credited as being ground-zero for the world's first-ever computer password.
More recently, conversations with various researchers in our lab further solidified the realization that we can bring a lot of concentrated thought leadership to this area of study, and that it therefore is deserving of its own initiatives.
What are the distinctions between the different programs?
The three initiatives are aimed at tackling the technical, regulatory, and business aspects of cybersecurity.
1. Cybersecurity@CSAIL, led by Dr. Howard Shrobe, brings together experts in software, hardware, cryptography, and other fields to address the technical challenges associated with preventing, working through, and recovering from web-based attacks.
2. The MIT Cybersecurity and Internet Policy Research Initiative, an interdisciplinary program funded by a $15 million grant from the Hewlett Foundation and led by CSAIL principal investigator Daniel Weitzner (former U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Internet Policy in the White House), draws researchers from across MIT to create the foundations for smart, sustainable cybersecurity policy.
3. The Interdisciplinary Consortium for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, (IC)3, a new consortium based at the MIT Sloan School of Management and led by Professor Stuart Madnick, will address the need to improve the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure through a focus on the strategic, managerial, and operational issues related to cybersecurity.
How will CSAIL work with other departments on these initiatives?
There will be close collaboration between CSAIL and other centers and departments at MIT.
Industry members of Cybersecurity@CSAIL and (IC)3 can attend the annual meetings of both initiatives and will also get access to joint-networking events and access to an exclusive online repository of relevant research.
The policy initiative, meanwhile, will involve individuals from all over campus, including political scientists, economists, cryptographers, and engineers.
We hope that these initiatives will help us work together with industry to create better tools to eliminate a lot of the current vulnerabilities that plague the digital landscape and to have some more substantive discussions about what can be done in terms of better technology policy.

Saint Patrick's Day Deliciousness
Here's a round-up of a few of my favorite dishes for Saint Patrick's Day! Click on the titles to be brought to the details on how to make each deliciously Irish item, or just head to the bottom of this post to print out all the recipes and get cooking!
Bubble and Squeak
One of my kid's favorites. Traditionally, this meal is made using leftovers from a corned beef roast or ham. I never have leftovers of corned beef or cabbage from St. Patrick's Day, but that can't stop me from making this one pot wonder that is delicious and full of homey flavor. I make it with ham – which is a great variation on corned beef if you happen to have family who aren't big fans of the traditional Irish meat.
Leprechaun Rainbow Cupcakes
I manage to convince myself that since these cupcakes are made with spinach and applesauce, all the candy on top just doesn't count. They are cute as a button and great for a St. Patrick's Day dessert for the kiddos.
Bread Pudding with Bailey's Custard
This is the dessert for the grown ups. Let the kids have their cutesy cupcakes, while you indulge in cream soaked bread drizzled (ok, swimming) in a smooth, decadent Bailey's custard.
I'll leave you with a little blessing for your week. The Lord bless you and keep you: The Lord make His face shine upon you. And be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

The "Everything is Awesome" Totally Amazing Lego Party!
If you have a child between the ages of 3 and 13, chances are, you've seen The Lego Movie and have
endured enjoyed endless hours of "Everything is Awesome" being sung, hummed, whistled and generally trapped in your subconscious. My little rugrats can be found most days sprawled on the floor singing as they create masterful designs with their Legos. For my son's 6th birthday, we went all out Lego awesomeness.
Here's the great big Lego party post including great (well, I think so anyway) free printables from me, the best cake and frosting recipe ever, and a round-up of the amazing things others have created that helped me pull of a party enjoyed by folks from ages 3-87.
Gaining Perspective on Gifts – Operation Christmas Child
Before all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season ramps up to full absurdity roar, we've taken a few moments as a family to put some perspective on gifts for our kids. This week, you can do the same, and bless a child in need at the same time. With the simple gift of a shoebox. Operation Christmas Child has been sending shoeboxes full of joy to kids all over the world for over 20 years. Samaritan's Purse delivers shoebox gifts to over 100 countries. Over 113 million shoeboxes have been collected and delivered to more than 150 countries and territories since 1993.
My kids are 8 and 5-and-11/12ths (a very exact age for a little boy about to turn 6). They have no concept of what it is to be lacking anything. We try to broaden their world and talk about the differences between their lives and others around the globe. We read them missionary stories, they participate in Awanas and learn about kids with real needs. They donate money for a little boy in Sunday School. My sister teaches at an underprivileged school here in the US and we remind our kids how blessed they are constantly…even compared to children in our own area. Nothing has made the impact for them that packing a few gifts into shoeboxes did.
We shopped for shoebox stuffing gifts/toiletries/coloring items together. Browsing the aisles for the perfect items to include in our boxes. I cherished the shock on their faces when I said no to an item because it was a car decal (these kids have no cars) or book (maybe haven't ever been to school/probably don't read English). Recognizing kids around the world don't have the opportunity to attend school was life changing for my own children. Processing the real conditions these kids live in thru shopping for them was a HUGE eye opener for my babies.They grew more intentional. More realistic. More aware of the thousands of gifts in their lives that they never even think about.
My son couldn't get over the idea of no gifts ever. "Mommy?" he inquired as we were packing boxes back at home, "They don't get Christmas presents, but at least they get birthday gifts…right?". He was crestfallen when I responded with a "No buddy, probably not.". "But", he chimed back "they at least get cake…right?". Recognizing the overwhelming blessing of something as simple as cake is not easy to convey to a kindergartener. Packing a shoebox did that for my son. What a gift.
We finished our boxes with a special note for each child including "Merry Christmas and Jesus Loves You!", and covered them with lots of prayers. You can donate shipping costs online and get a label you can track. My munchkins can't wait to find out what part of the world our boxes end up in.
This week, there are collection drop-off locations all over the country. Take a few minutes (that's really all it takes) to gain a little perspective before the madness of Black Friday and 24-hour sales. While we are figuring out what to give to people who already have everything they could possibly want, kids around the world are wondering where they'll sleep tonight, what they'll eat. With a simple gift, you can show a child in need tremendous love. What goes into the box is fun, but what comes out is eternal. Be a part of changing lives through the power of a simple gift. You can find out more here: Samaritan's Purse and Operation Christmas Child. If you click on the videos…have tissues handy.
*This is not a sponsored post. I don't work for Samaritan's Purse or have any affiliation with Operation Christmas Child beyond my own personal desire to bless needy kids and teach my children the joy of giving to others.
Cranberry Upside Down Coffeecake
Confession. I'm a giant bookworm. It's a condition that dates back to my early childhood. My parents have time-lapse video from Christmases long past where I don't move from the same armchair for over 10 hours. I'm a constant figure as the room buzzes with holiday activity around me. Motionless, except the occasional turning of a page. My favorite place to be is completely engrossed in a great novel, oblivious to the world passing me by. As such, it's no great surprise that I've always wanted to host a book club. I was recently given the opportunity to start one with friends, and I jumped at the chance. Books and my best gals? Win-win. Bonus prizes for me include the excuse to use my grandmother's dainty teacups, and making delicious treats for my guests. I began with this amazing cranberry upside down coffeecake.
Honeycrisp Dutch Apple Pie
A mournful thick rain is pelting my
office classroom playroom window tonight as I sit typing with a belly that is full and happy. Full because it's stuffed with layers of perfectly spiced apple, buttery flaky crust and crunchy crumble topping. Happy basking in the glow of warm friendship and thankfulness. My girlfriend Rachel brought me a 15 pound box of honeycrisp apples this week fresh from the orchards of Eastern Washington – because she's amazing and knows I love to bake with them. Just a day later, my "I-want-to-be-just-like-her" friend Jen popped by with a basket full of honeycrisps, caramels and a note of encouragement. Seriously, I completely fail in the doing-nice-things-just-because portion of friendship. These gals are rock stars who I'm incredibly blessed to know. Of course, as always happens, Jen came by as we were doing school in our PJs and I still hadn't managed a shower. It's good to have friends who love you in spite of your flaws. Here's a really terrible segue about how these kinds of friendships make me feel as giddy as kids playing in leaves on a crisp gorgeous afternoon in October. A horrible attempt to disguise the fact that I just really want to share this picture of my kids. There's a magical two-day period of time in Washington when the leaves have fallen and the rains haven't yet started in earnest. Every year my kids somehow know when that window has opened, and get out the rakes for an afternoon of autumn amazingness.
With my house brimming with the best apples on the planet, ones that normally run about $5 per pound, I decided to try something I otherwise never would do. Make a pie out of them. Rachel has become my apple fairy the past couple years, and I usually make apple chips out of her bounty. We plow thru the rest of the box with ease as my go to response to "I'm hungry" becomes "eat an apple". With the addition of Jen's contribution, I had enough overflow to risk a pie from a very non-traditional baking apple. I'm so very glad I took a chance because honeycrisps make the best pie I've ever enjoyed. They are firm enough that they don't completely break down to mush and the flavor is just scrumptious.
First a little how-to regarding cutting apples for pie. If you have an apple-peeler-corer-slicer, feel free to use it..if you can. I find that many honeycrisps are just way too big for mine and I end up with half an apple thru and then get stuck. It's very frustrating. It's much easier to just cut them by hand. With this method anyway. First get a cutting board and a knife. It doesn't even have to be a fancy paring knife. Here's my set up with one of my steak knives.
Peel the apple. My goal here is always to get the one long curl like in Sleepless in Seattle. My kids love watching me peel apples and seeing the twisting, twirling outter layer come off all together.
Then cut half the apple off along one side of the core. Then the other half on the opposite side of the core. Now you should have a very flat cross-section of the apple with the core still intact as well as two almost half apple pieces.
Now cut on either side of the core again until you have four pieces, two big, two small and the core completely removed.
Proceed to cut each section in uniform slices. Done. Repeat.
For this pie, I used my go to America's Test Kitchen pie crust. It's just the best and I love it.
Dutch apple pie doesn't have a second crust on top, instead the spiced apples are finished off with an amazing crumb topping. That's perfect for me since one crust on the bottom (even one as flaky and delicious as this) is all I want. Gimme some of that crumb topping all day long.
I've made this pie before using half tart apples (like Granny Smith) and half sweet apples (like Jonagolds or Golden Delicious) — and it's good, but the honeycrisps are a delicious blend of tart/sweet and perfect texture all in one apple.
I just love looking at those fabulous apples all piled upon each other swimming in sweetly spiced saucy goodness. Yum yum yum.
Cheers to good friends and autumn baking!
Print Recipe for Honeycrisp Dutch Apple Pie
Honeycrisp Dutch Apple Pie
1 Pie Crust (my recipe below)
4-5 honeycrisp apples peeled and sliced
3/4 C granulated sugar
1/2 C flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Crumble Topping
1 C flour
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C butter (room temperature)
Pie Crust (from America's Test Kitchen)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling out the dough
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, cut into 1/4-inch
pieces and chilled
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
and chilled
4-6 tablespoons ice water
Process flour, sugar, and salt in food processor until combined. Add chilled shortening and pulse until coarsely ground. Add chilled butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Transfer to large bowl.
Sprinkle 4 tablespoons water over flour mixture. Using rubber spatula, stir mixture until dough forms. If dough remains crumbly, add remaining 1 tablespoon water. Form dough into 4-inch disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. (Dough can be frozen, wrapped tightly in plastic and aluminum foil, for up to 2 months. Thaw completely at room temperature before using.)
Let chilled dough soften slightly at room temperature, about 10 minutes. Working on lightly floured work surface, roll dough into 12-inch circle. Transfer dough to pie plate. Trim, fold, and crimp edges. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
While crust is firming up, work on the filling.
Roll out pie crust and place in pie plate. Place all filling ingredients and apples into a large Ziploc bag and shake to mix. Pour apple mixture into pie crust. Cut crumble ingredients together with your hands and crumble over apples. I have found that it helps if my hands are fairly cold when doing this, so if you tend to have warm hands – try running them under cold water, drying them and then crumbling the topping. Bake at 375° for 40-50 minutes. Foil the edges for last 15 minutes if crust begins to brown too much.

2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apple
2 tbsp fresh lemon
3 tbsp brown sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tsp water

5 (6-inch) corn tortillas
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1½ tablespoons sugar
You can either cook this on the stove-top or the microwave.
Combine all the dip ingredients in a small pan/ microwaveable bowl except the cornstarch-water mixture.
Heat for a few minutes until it's boiling and has extracted juice from the apple.
Add cornstarch-water mixture to the "sauce"
Put back in the microwave/stove top until boiling and the sauce has thickened.
Set aside. You can serve this warm or chilled. It doesn't matter. It will taste delicious.
Cut tortillas into desired size. {wedges}
Put in a slightly greased baking pan.
Spray the tortillas with a canola oil spray (or you can brush with butter)

Expert review of Cathédrale des St-Michel et Ste-Gudule
Named after Saint Gudule — the daughter of a count who lived around 650AD, tended the sick and poor, and was famous for her dedication to prayer — Brussels's cathedral is an awesome sight, and the venue for royal weddings. Work on it started in 1226 and took 300 years to complete. Inside, you can't miss the magnificent pulpit, carved entirely from oak, and featuring Adam and Eve are being chased from paradise. Also of note are the statues of the twelve apostles that line the nave sculpted by Jérôme Dusquesnoy the Younger (his dad made the present-day copy of Mannekin Pis), and some splendid Renaissance stain-glass windows, the most famous of which stands in the north transept and features Charles V and his wife, Isabelle of Portugal, kneeling in front of the Holy Sacrament.
Left of the choir is the Blessed Sacrament of the Miracle chapel, which contains the church's 16th-century treasury (open: Mon—Fri 10am—12.30pm & 2pm—5pm, Sat 10am—12.30pm & 2pm—3pm, Sun 2pm—5pm).
Restoration work in the 1980s and 1990s uncovered preserved remnants and the crypt of an 11th-century Romanesque church that once stood on the site. You can visit the excavations: the site is located to the left of the entrance (open: Mon—Sun 8am—6pm).
There's also a shop selling postcards, CDs and religious mementos (open: Mon—Fri 10am—6pm, 5pm in winter; Sat 10am—3.30pm; Sun 2pm—6pm, 5pm in winter).
Entrance to the treasury: adults 1 euro; children free; entry to Romanesque remains: 1 euro.

New Features in Lightroom 5
Lightroom 5 adds powerful new editing tools to help photographers create better images faster. The Advanced Healing Brush enables customers to fix irregularly shaped imperfections such as dust spots, splotches, and other distractions with the precision and flexibility of a fine brush. The Upright tool analyzes each image to automatically straighten objects such as buildings and level horizons. Radial Gradients offer customers the control to make photo subjects stand out by applying off-center and multiple vignettes in a single image.
Lightroom 5 also brings extended sharing and publishing capabilities. New video slideshows enable customers to combine still images, video clips and music in a creative HD slideshow that can be viewed on almost any device. Updates to the Book module bring the ability to create, personalize and print elegant photo books from a variety of tailored, easy-to-use templates, as well as create customer-specific templates.
Smart Previews, new in Lightroom 5, enable photographers to make edits to their images offline, without bringing their entire library of original files with them. Edits and metadata changes to Smart Preview files are automatically applied to the original images when they are reconnected.

How many LR6 recessed lights?
I am trying to decide how many recessed lights to use for lighting my dinette area. This is a 10' x 13' area just off the kitchen that is open to the kitchen and an adjacent family room. We have a 3.5' diameter dinette table with four chairs near the middle of the room. This is the area we want to have good light. We also have cabinets and a counter lining one side.
We were thinking of using the Cree LR6 LEDs. How many 6" cans do you think will light the place adequately? I thought perhaps 3 but my wife says 4 because "even numbers look better". I just don't want the room to be too bright. We do plan on using a dimmer.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
I think 4 for the room would be best, but if you have a dinette table you may want a light over the table. If the counter is on the long side, 3 lights in a line might work.
If the room except the counter is square, I'd say 4 lights with a hanging fixture over the table.

Re: What Happens After Death
, if your definition sketch #1 had originally looked like your revised version, then I would have had far fewer objections. However, I really don't believe that one can relate modern science to the works of classical philosophers unless one actually is well versed in both science
classical philosophy.
I also brought up a third sense of the word
that of
. Even if there were something to this notion, casting it in contemporary scientific terms seems much harder than dealing with either psyche/mind or animation/metabolism.
To me, the notion of a person's
seems concerned with characteristic behaviors and reactions singularly indicative of that individual. It seems to transcend particular biometric data, such as fingerprints and DNA, and to encompass much more broadly the totality of psychological and physical reactions and motivations. When you recognize that voice on the other end of the phone as that of the cousin you haven't spoken to in 20 years, you may have perceived the essence of the person, in that manner of speaking.
The assumption that each person has one or more singularly indicative and essential qualities may be a misguided notion. On the other hand, perhaps some paradigm with DNA [of living cells] at the foundation would be capable of validating that assumption quite neatly. However, on the gripping hand, it seems clearly established that both nature and nurture play their parts in establishing
Of course, any essential qualities that derive from physical aspects or behaviors would be just as temporal as the physical components involved, and just as corporeal.
In any case, it is the third sense, of
that really rounds out the term. Indeed, to most, I think, a person's soul being unique to the person is an
essential aspect
of the definition of the term. It doesn't really nail it, if the difference between, say, my soul and your soul is
that mine's mine and yours is yours. Each person's soul is supposed to be quite distinctive.
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By IH Monday 24 December 2012 Updated: 02/01 11:18
STARGAZERS are being urged to look to the heavens.
Local Facebook group Astronomy for Fun will be hosting a free event on Saturday January 12 linked to the popular BBC tv show Stargazing Live.
It will take place at Harbury Rugby Club - owing to the dark skies and lack of light pollution - near Leamington, from 6.30pm.
Gary Colville, one of the founders of Astronomy for Fun, said: "Astronomy is really popular at the moment thanks to programmes like Stargazing Live and scientists such as Brian Cox who make things easy to understand.
"I'm more passionate now about astronomy than I was when I started looking at the night sky 33 years ago."
Gary's highlights during his time stargazing include seeing Jupiter and Saturn and the International Space Station
Everyone is welcome at the Harbury event, from first timers to experienced night sky watchers. Those with telescopes are welcome to bring them, but for those without, there will be telescopes they will be able to have a look through.
The Facebook group was launched in September and has members from across Coventry and Warwickshire, and further afield.
Search Astronomy for Fun on Facebook for further details.

|On the largest dynamic monopolies of graphs with a given average threshold
Let $G$ be a graph and $\tau$ be an assignment of nonnegative integer thresholds to the vertices of $G$. A subset of vertices, $D$ is said to be a $\tau$-dynamic monopoly, if $V(G)$ can be partitioned into subsets $D_0, D_1, \ldots, D_k$ such that $D_0=D$ and for any $i\in \{0, \ldots, k-1\}$, each vertex $v$ in $D_{i+1}$ has at least $\tau(v)$ neighbors in $D_0\cup \ldots \cup D_i$. Denote the size of smallest $\tau$-dynamic monopoly by $dyn_{\tau}(G)$ and the average of thresholds in $\tau$ by $\overline{\tau}$. We show that the values of $dyn_{\tau}(G)$ over all assignments $\tau$ with the same average threshold is a continuous set of integers. For any positive number $t$, denote the maximum $dyn_{\tau}(G)$ taken over all threshold assignments $\tau$ with $\overline{\tau}\leq t$, by $Ldyn_t(G)$. In fact, $Ldyn_t(G)$ shows the worst-case value of a dynamic monopoly when the average threshold is a given number $t$. We investigate under what conditions on $t$, there exists an upper bound for $Ldyn_{t}(G)$ of the form $c|G|$, where $c\lt 1$. Next, we show that $Ldyn_t(G)$ is coNP-hard for planar graphs but has polynomial-time solution for forests.

|Size, Order, and Connected Domination
We give a sharp upper bound on the size of a triangle-free graph of a given order and connected domination. Our bound, apart from strengthening an old classical theorem of Mantel and of Turán , improves on a theorem of Sanchis. Further, as corollaries, we settle a long standing conjecture of Graffiti on the leaf number and local independence for triangle-free graphs and answer a question of Griggs, Kleitman and Shastri on a lower bound of the leaf number in triangle-free graphs.
Keywords:size, connected domination, local independence number, leaf number
4. CMB 2011 (vol 56 pp. 407)
|On Domination in Zero-Divisor Graphs
We first determine the domination number for the zero-divisor graph of the product of two commutative rings with $1$. We then calculate the domination number for the zero-divisor graph of any commutative artinian ring. Finally, we extend some of the results to non-commutative rings in which an element is a left zero-divisor if and only if it is a right zero-divisor.

Cosmetics Counter Manager Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Nordstrom.
I applied online and received a request for a phone interview with the Seattle office a few days later. The phone interview went well and the woman invited me into the store to have an in person interview a week later. I was excited for this interview, except when I got there and realized there were 3 other people there, applying for the same exact position as me and we were going to have a group interview. The woman said they would do a group interview so we didn't have to "waste" time waiting for each interview to be over. One woman interviewed me and another girl, and another woman interviewed two other girls. We were all in the same room which was distracting because I could hear the other groups discussion- we were literally sitting right next to each other. Six people in one room interviewing for a coumter manager job is not professional at all and very distracting. Seems like they didn't want to waste time with all of us individually because they probably already had someone from within that they were hiring.
The woman was going back and forth with the same questions between me and the other girl and writing our answers down. She kept mixing up our answers and writing my answers on the other girls sheet. I really did not like the group interview process at all. I feel that she didn't get a chance to know me personally. Plus, the other girl kept taking my answers and repeating what I was saying. Pretty strange interview- expected more from a Fortune 500 company. I also expected more given that I was interviewing for a managerial position- very improper.
Two days later I got a call saying they hired someone else. I thought this was funny given that I interviewed on a Friday, this store is closed on Sunday and they called me Monday morning to tell me I didn't get the job. The process for getting a counter manager job is longer than 2 days since you have to go for a second interview to meet with the department manager, and I don't see how that would be possible in two days. I'm pretty sure they hired someone within their store for the position and just decided to waste our time to make it look like they at least tried to hire outside people. Huge waste of time, not to mention unprofessional especially having 5 years prior cosmetic experience and giving great answers during the interview.

I interviewed with the assistant cosmetics manager first. This was huge waste of my time. She asked me basic questions. I honestly think she thought I was applying for a beauty advisor position. She seemed surprised when I asked about the expectations of a counter manager. Then she said that all the manager positions were filled! (Then why was the application to become one still online and why was I asked to come in for an interview???) then she said that a manager position for laura mercier is in the works and that I may qualify for that. Then she left and I had to wait 20 mins to speak with the dept manager. She finally come and asked the same questions I just answered. I figured I would have to be the one to ask about the laura mercier position and when I did, she said they already have someone they were looking to hire.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at Nordstrom in February 2015.Interview Details
I applied online. The online application included a brief personality assessment. I was contacted via email the following day to set up a brief phone screen with HR. The phone screen with HR was very easy/casual and took about 10-15 minutes. I was asked basic questions such as, "Why do you want to work for Nordstrom?" I was asked about my availability and briefly discussed work history. After the phone screen, I was asked to come in for an interview with the Cosmetics Department Manager, which was scheduled for the following week. The interview with the department manager took about 30-45 minutes, and I was asked typical retail sales/management interview questions. We discussed the brands that were in need of a manager, and she explained that it was partly the brand representative's decision in regard to hiring for that position. Because I already had a relationship with my brand of choice's rep, I did not need to interview with the brand rep. The following week, I was contacted via phone by the department manager and offered the position.Interview Questions

Cosmetics Counter Manager InterviewInterview Details
Applied online, got an email confirmation the next day asking to set up a phone interview. Ten minute phone interview the following day. Was asked about customer service experience, how I've dealt with a difficult situation, how I've dealt with a failure, how would I do in a competitive environment, why I wanted to work for Nordstrom and what locations I most wanted to work at. Was told I sounded like a great candidate and an in-person interview with a manager was set up for ten days later.
Interview was with an assistant manager. It was very casual. We spoke in the offices. I outlined my experience with emphasis on customer service. We discussed which brands I thought I was a good fit for, how passionate I was about skin care. She brought me downstairs to meet the dept. manager. I again outlined my relevant work experience. He asked, "Why Nordstrom?" and wanted to know if I was competitive. He seemed to like my answers. The assistant manager then gave me her contact info and said she would be in touch soon. I got a call two hours later saying they wanted me to meet the vendor rep for the line they had in mind for me. In less than an hour I got a call from the rep. We set up a meeting for a few days later.
Once again I outlined my relevant experience, she told me a bit about her brand, goals for this particular counter. She wanted me to visit a counter at another store to experience their service and call her back if I thought it was a good fit.
I emailed her back to say I wanted to move forward with the brand. She said she would be in touch with Nordstrom. Three days later I got a call saying they didn't think my experience was adequate for the position.Interview Questions

After taking a personality test and submitting my application, I was called by the HR Director to set up a phone interview. During that 15ish minute interview, she asked me why I wanted to work at Nordstrom, what department I wanted to work in, why I felt I would be a good candidate for that department position and a few other questions regarding my previous experience. After that, I was called in for an onsite interview where I met with the Cosmetics Department Manager. She asked questions similar to the above then requested that I did her makeup, and while doing her make-up sell her the products, the goal being that she would purchase something at the end. We did not break character during the make-up application. The onsite interview lasted about 45 minutes total. I was called two days later and offered the position.Interview Questions

Cosmetics Counter Manager InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Nordstrom in September 2014.Interview Details
I first interviewed with the department assistant manager and went through really generic interview questions, then did some role playing on the floor for 5 minutes. When I wascalled for my second interview with the department manager, she had me come in to interview for a higher position instead, so it was nice that they saw and acted on potential. She asked me the same questions and explained the higher position. I thought I had a good understanding of the position, but it wasn't what I expected. Asking for a detailed day in the life would've been helpful. Lastly, I had a phone interview with the district manager for cosmetics. Same basic questions. This step was only necessary as I was no longer interviewing for a counter position. Had I been, I may have ended with the dept manager or spoke with whichever brand's account executive on the phone. I was then called and offered the position with salary details and a proposed start date. The whole process took maybe 3 weeks.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI received a generous offer so there wasn't any negotiating done. I asked for the weekend to consider it and was given that, and accepted on Monday. I think if I had proposed a higher hourly pay, I could've gotten it, but the commission rate is set by the department therefore non-negotiableAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

Heritage repair needs prompt talk of sale
Hubbard County commissioners agree that residents should have the best skilled care nursing home possible.
But commissioner Lyle Robinson questions whether the Heritage Community should be sold, to enable a private entity to render that care and make much-needed repairs to the nursing home.
Otherwise, a new addition could cost up to $11.3 million, with Hubbard County residents kicking in up to $3.6 million.

Actress Angelina Jolie's announcement that she had had a double mastectomy followed by breast reconstruction has inspired other women to get genetic testing for cancer, says Jolie's plastic surgeon, Jay Orringer. Breast cancer patients are increasingly treated by a team of doctors that includes a plastic surgeon to help guide patients through treatment and reconstruction options, Orringer said. "I see the team approach as the patient being the captain and we as health care providers are members of that team helping her to arrive at a decision with which she's most comfortable," he said.
