going out on a british photographic limb/francesca woodman (self.photography)
submitted 3 years ago by [deleted]
anyone else here love francesca woodman?
i remember the moment i discovered her work was a beautiful photographic bomb. i love her work. recently it has come to my attention that the national art library at the V & A museum has the entire estate of woodman's photographs freely available:
for those who love her.
here's the thing: i live in the u.s of a. i am seeking a generous soul who is willing to check out the cd rom and email me the files on it. anyone interested? i cannot offer monetary compensation, just the eternal gratitude of a person deeply and perhaps unhealthily obsessed with woodman's work.
if its a bust, english folk and fellow woodman lovers please enjoy this little known resource!
there doesn't seem to be anything here

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of two installments of coverage of the Newton County Republican Party meeting Monday. A story covering comments from 8th Congressional District candidate Austin Scott and District 2 Public Service Commission candidate John Douglas will run in Thursday's Newton Citizen.
COVINGTON -- Republican gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel stopped in Covington on Monday to speak to the Newton County Republican Party as the date nears for a runoff election between her and former U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal.
The former Georgia secretary of state said Friday she would attend the local Republican Party meeting, prompting organizers to find a larger venue to accommodate the crowd.
"I thought we had two chances of her coming: slim and none," Newton County GOP Chairwoman Bronwyn Jennings told the gathering at the Historic Courthouse in Covington.
She said the local Republicans had earlier hosted Deal.
"Newton County knows how to pick candidates," Jennings said.
Deal and Handel were the top two vote-getters out of a field of seven Republican candidates in the July 20 primary election. Neither secured more than 50 percent of the vote, prompting the Aug. 10 runoff. Handel received 34.1 percent of the vote and Deal came in second with 22.9 percent.
Deal garnered 1,667 Republican votes and Handel received 2,284 Republican votes in Newton County.
The winner of the runoff will face Democrat Roy Barnes, a former governor of Georgia, in November.
After personally greeting many attendees, Handel stressed the importance of the upcoming election, calling it one of the most important elections this year.
"We have a lot of hard work ahead of us," she said. "We have to get our economy moving again."
Handel outlined her main objectives, including a pro-tax strategy that would work to make the state's tax code more competitive by reducing income taxes, adjusting the sales tax and eliminating taxes on energy, to bring Georgia in line with surrounding states like Florida, Tennessee and Texas.
"As we do tax reform, we cannot nibble around the edges. We cannot do it piecemeal," Handel said.
She warned that the upcoming budget year in Georgia "will be tough." One of the first things Handel said that residents should be prepared to lose is about $2 billion in federal stimulus money, which means that any salaries or expansion paid for with this money will be on the chopping block.
"We had no business using one-time funding for any expansion," she said.
Instead, a Handel administration will be focused only on the "must-do's" and not the "would-like-to-do's," she said. Specifically, Handel will focus on strengthening public safety, education and infrastructure. Furthermore, she advocates more private-sector involvement to relieve pressure on the public sector.
For instance, Handel pointed out that the state owns asphalt plants and employs landscapers.
"We need to look for ways to outsource and use the private sector," she said.
In that same vein, Handel said the state's personnel policies are outdated, creating a tremendous financial liability on the state with more than $200 million in accrued sick, comp and paid leave.
With regard to education, Handel stressed the importance of empowering local boards of education to encourage teachers and improve local schools. In addition to modernizing technology, most of the improvement needs to come in the form of boosting morale of teachers, which will translate into improved learning. Her solution is to create a "career ladder" that would encourage experienced teachers to remain in the classroom rather than moving into administrative positions.
Handel also recognized the growing number of home-schooled students in the state, and said she believes that someone from the home-school profession should sit on the state school board, to which she received applause from the crowd.
Handel said the state's dropout rates and test scores are "unacceptable."
"It's time to stop making excuses, folks," Handel said. "We are better than that, and we can do better than that."
Handel allied herself on the topic of immigration with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who has squared off with President Barack Obama over that state's new immigration law, which is facing constitutional challenge in federal court.
Handel said illegal immigration is estimated to cost Georgia between $1.5 billion and $2 billion a year.
"We are under siege," she said. "If the federal government is not going to do its job, by golly, we're going to take control in our own hands."
Handel took a swipe at the Obama administration with regard to the health care law that was passed earlier this year and is already facing legal challenges from many states, including Georgia. Handel called it ironic that the Obama administration would advocate such "an extraordinary intrusion on the state's business, but would abdicate its responsibility on illegal immigration."
She reminded the crowd she was no stranger to litigation, having successfully fought for voter identification laws during her time as secretary of state.
"The Obama administration needs to understand they have a tough cookie on that," Handel said.
Handel spent some time responding to criticisms that surfaced during the primary election, specifically denying supporting a gay agenda ("I have always believed marriage should be between one man and one woman -- always," she said) and defending her position on abortion. While calling herself a "pro-life Christian," Handel said she would make an exception in cases of rape or incest, leaving the decision to that "family, their faith leaders and their God."

Warning! Warning! Victoria Beckham's robo-nipples are set to attack! You better watch it if you don't want to get your eyes poked out.
I don't know what those things are, but they certainly aren't nipples. They're most probably some kind of weapon, but they're so oddly shaped, they could be anything. Maybe a stack of nickels, or Swedish Berries. They do seem kind of lumpy, don't they?

Successive straw biochar application as a strategy to sequester carbon and improve fertility: A pot experiment with two rice/wheat rotations in paddy soil

A pot study spanning four consecutive crop seasons was conducted to compare the effects of successive rice straw biochar/rice straw amendments on C sequestration and soil fertility in rice/wheat rotated paddy soil.
We adopted 4.5 t ha−1, 9.0 t ha−1 biochar and 3.75 t ha−1 straw for each crop season with an identical dose of NPK fertilizers.
We found no major losses of biochar-C over the 2-year experimental period. Obvious reductions in CH4 emission were observed from rice seasons under the biochar application, despite the fact that the biochar brought more C into the soil than the straw. N2O emissions with biochar were similar to the controls without additives over the 2-year experimental period. Biochar application had positive effects on crop growth, along with positive effects on nutrient (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) uptake by crop plants and the availability of soil P, K, Ca and Mg. High levels of biochar application over the course of the crop rotation suppressed NH3 volatilization in the rice season, but stimulated it in the wheat season.
Converting straw to biochar followed by successive application to soil is viable for soil C sequestration, CH4 mitigation, improvements of soil and crop productivity. Biochar soil amendment influences NH3 volatilization differently in the flooded rice and upland wheat seasons, respectively.

Great footage, looks like the GoPro does some good stuff. Can I ask what the blurfix adapter is?
I don't use it anymore because of the reflection on the port and filter.

Wow.. looks amazing! How's the auto white balance? Is it fast and accurate enough? I've been playing around with our gopro as well for some slow mo action. Such a fun camera yet so cheap!
I don't expect accurate wb from this small action cam but I like it a lot as a backup cam.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has changed the route for Sabarmati Marathon once again. This year, the civic body has chosen a route passing through posh residential localities. Moreover, it has preferred not to change finishing point of the race as mulled earlier. The fourth edition of Sabarmati Marathon will take place on January 5, 2014. The first trial run was organised on December 22 while the second one will be organised on December 29 to help the participants get familiar with the route.
AMC has been experimenting with routes to get better support for the runners In the first edition, the civic body had chosen the old city route to Kankaria lake. However, that was changed as the roads were found to be very busy and runners had to face a lot of trouble due to heavy traffic on narrow roads. In the next edition of the run in December 2011, the civic body decided to take the less crowded SG Road after reaching Thaltej crossroads from Vallabh Sadan. The next time, the civic body changed its mind again. This time it took a right turn from Doordharshan crossroads to reach Sattadhar crossroads and SP Ring Road, which was less crowded.
However, in its efforts to avoid confrontation with the public and early morning traffic, the civic body officials seemed to have missed the thinning support for the runners on the route. This could be the reason why this time it has decided to take the race through residential areas of Satellite, Vastrapur and Prahladnagar. "Our aim is to get good crowd to support the runners," said DP Desai, deputy municipal commissioner of AMC's publicity department.
The civic body had earlier decided to follow the international tradition of finishing the marathon in a stadium. It had decided that Sardar Patel Stadium at Navarangpura would be the finishing point.
However, now it has decided once again to keep Vallabh Sadan as starting and finishing point. "It would have been difficult to get a crowd to fill the stadium. Moreover, from administrative point of view also it is more convenient to have the same spot for start and finish," said a highly placed official in AMC.

- [humanitarianism;

This article draws from fieldwork conducted with the staff, volunteers and recipients of programs run by NGOs in Morrumbala, a rural district in central Mozambique. During the Mozambican conflict in the 1980s and early 1990s, a majority of district residents lived in refugee camps in Malawi. This article explores how recipients and volunteers draw on nostalgic memories of humanitarian experience in Malawi to critique and make claims on the humanitarian regimes that now provide services in Morrumbala. Anthropological literature has shown that refugee experience can be central to processes of political subjectification, becoming the grounds through which claims are articulated on neoliberal regimes of rights and services. These memories, and the nostalgic humanitarian lexicon they deploy, point to the historicity of humanitarian experience. As Morrumbala residents engage new configurations of aid and welfare today, the afterlives of previous interventions also allow for ambivalent and critical engagements with humanitarian practice in the present.

Darla K. Anderson
|Darla K. Anderson
Anderson in October 2010 attending 18th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival Chairman's Reception at the home of Stuart Suna in East Hampton, New York
|Glendale, California
|Noe Valley, San Francisco[1]
|Film producer
|Kori Rae (2004, 2008–present)[1]
Darla K. Anderson is a film producer for Pixar.[2] She also sits on the National board of directors for the Producers Guild of America.[3]
Life and career[edit]
Her most recently released production was the 2010 film Toy Story 3,[4][5] which was nominated for the 2011 Academy Award for Best Picture and which won the 2011 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Previously, Anderson won a Golden Satellite Award for A Bug's Life, a BAFTA award for A Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc. and a Producer's Guild Award for Cars.[6]
The 2008 Guinness Book of World Records lists Anderson as having the highest average movie gross for a producer: $221 million per movie,[2] and in 2011 the Wall Street Journal listed a combined gross for the four movies she's produced of over $2 billion.[7]
Anderson was born and raised in Glendale, California. She studied environmental design at San Diego State University. Before coming to Pixar in 1993,[8] she worked as an executive producer at Angel Studios.[6][9] The character Darla in Finding Nemo was created by the director and screenwriter Andrew Stanton to get back at her for playing practical jokes on him.[6][9]
Personal life[edit]
Anderson is married to Kori Rae, also Pixar's producer, who produced Monsters University.[1] They live together in Noe Valley, San Francisco.[1] They have met in 1991, when Anderson, a San Francisco newcomer, joined a softball team, which Rae managed. Anderson and Rae started dating in 2001, during the last year of Monsters, Inc.. Since then, they have decided to not work together on the same films. They first married on Presidents' Day 2004 while San Francisco was issuing same-sex marriage licenses, but those licenses were voided by the state Supreme Court.[10] They married again in 2008, after that court declared same-sex marriage legal but before Proposition 8 took effect.[1][11]
Anderson's nephew, Jack Taylor, scored an National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) record 138 points playing college basketball. Anderson often paid for him to attend basketball camps at upper-tier colleges while he was growing up.[12]

They couldn't develop it out in the open or divert a noticeable amount of resources to the development of cloaking tech before. Now, with the UFP on the job without having to hide it, they might advance the technology well-beyond the Scimitar and what the Romulans and Klingons have.

Though multiple players will guard Deron Williams in tonight's Game 5, Denver's Chauncey Billups will start out defending Utah's star guard.
"I think we want to show him something different at the start of games," Billups said. "I'm probably a little more physical than Arron (Afflalo) is."
Billups is vital in tonight's game, from a production standpoint and a leadership standpoint.
"We're not ready for our season to be over," he said at today's shootaround.
At the Jazz's shootaround today in Denver, Williams claimed he is the best point guard in the NBA.
"I think I'm the best point guard in the league. ... I thought I was the best point guard in the league for a while."
Williams added: "I'm always confident. And I always get excited about this time of year. ... I have to be aggressive, I have to score, I have to get assists, I have to play defense."
Billups and the Nuggets have played better at home on the road (though the Game 2 loss was pretty surprising). Asked about the Pepsi Center crowd, the Denver native said: "When you're down at home, and you have the fans behind you, any little shot is like a big deal, and it fuels you - it helps you through."
The pressure is on Denver tonight — lose and the season is over. But asked about the pressure on Utah (which would host Game 6 and come back to Denver for Game 7), he said:
"I don't think there's that much pressure on them tonight. They want to get it over with. But if we win this game, there's going to be a lot of pressure on them to close out at home."
Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony said tonight's game is a test of mental toughness (the team has lost its composure and confidence during the three losses): "I think so. It's all about toughness man. We've got to leave it on the court, bring the intensity and play hard and play smart. Especially me, nine turnovers is too much."

Asian markets mostly up, Sydney hits 34-month high
HONG KONG—Asian markets were mostly up on Wednesday, with Sydney hitting a near three-year high, but Tokyo sank on profit-taking and as the yen picked up strength against the euro and dollar.
The Japanese currency picked up after a Group of Seven (G7) statement on Tuesday that said "excessive volatility" in exchange markets hurts financial stability, as they tried to calm talk of currency wars ahead of this week's G20 meeting.
Sydney jumped 0.90 percent, or 44.7 points, to 5,003.7—closing above the 5,000-point mark for the first time since April 2010—and Seoul rose 1.56 percent, or 30.28 points, to 1,976.07.
But Tokyo, which surged on Tuesday, fell 1.04 percent, or 117.71 points, to 11,251.41.
Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei were closed for public holidays.
The G7 statement was published ahead of Friday's G20 in Moscow, where exchange rates are expected to figure prominently after Japan took steps to boost its economy and exports.
Japan's recent policy of monetary easing—which it has said is aimed at boosting the economy—has fueled concerns around the world that countries will embark on a round of currency weakening to boost their exports.
But Tokyo on Tuesday rejected claims it was trying to force down the yen, saying the new conservative government's big spending and pressure on the central bank for aggressive easing was designed to stoke growth.
"There is no change in Japan's position," Finance Minister Taro Aso told reporters.
"Japan's new government is carrying out monetary policy and economic policy appropriately in order to pull out of a long-running, deflation-induced downturn. There is nothing more to say."
In early European trade the dollar bought 93.30 yen, while the euro was at 125.60 yen, compared with 93.47 yen and 125.75 yen late on Tuesday in New York. That compares with 94.05 yen and 125.61 yen in Asia earlier on Tuesday.
The euro bought $1.3458 on Wednesday morning, compared with $1.3450 in US trade.
Hideyuki Ishiguro, senior strategist at Okasan Securities, said: "The yen may be on the agenda at the G20."
"Stocks are likely to face selling for now," he told Dow Jones Newswires.
Traders in Sydney were bullish thanks to strong earnings from Commonwealth Bank as well as data showing consumer confidence had hit its highest level since December 2010, which analysts said was fueled by a spate of interest rate cuts last year.
Wall Street also provided a healthy lead ahead of US President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.
The Dow rose 0.34 percent to its best close since October 2007, while the S&P 500 added 0.16 percent to also reach a fresh five-year peak. The Nasdaq slipped 0.17 percent.
Oil prices edged higher, with New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in March up eight cents to $97.59 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for March delivery gaining five cents to $118.71.
Gold was at $1,647.77 by 1035 GMT, compared with $1,641.90 late Tuesday.

It does take a very long spring line to rig it the way I suggested, but there's nothing wrong with that if that's the tool you need to do the job. In his first post, Sabreman said that, when he rigged it the normal way, the wind blew the boat back alongside the dock before he could go to the bow, release and retrieve the spring line, and get back to the helm and in control of the boat.
If he can release and retrieve the spring line without leaving the helm, then he can use the engine to hold the boat in position until he can retrieve the line.
Floating lines are commonly used whenever there is a chance they might trail in the water near the prop. For example, they're often recommended for use as dinghy painters, and they're used on Lifeslings, and similar devices, so they aren't likely to get tangled in the prop. In this particular application, you're not backing down on the line. When you go forward, the line will trail alongside and behind the boat, especially if you keep your boatspeed down until you retrieve the line.

WikiLeaks: Snowden makes expanded asylum requests
Tuesday - 7/2/2013, 4:17am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, believed to be in legal limbo in the Moscow airport, is expanding his requests for asylum to another 19 countries, including China, according to WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group that has adopted Snowden and his cause, on Monday night posted a statement said to be from Snowden that slammed President Barack Obama for "using citizenship as a weapon."
"Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person," Snowden says in the statement. "Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum.
"Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me."
WikiLeaks legal adviser Sarah Harrison delivered the requests for asylum to an official at the Russian consulate at the Moscow airport on Sunday, according to the website. WikiLeaks says some of the requests have already been delivered to the appropriate embassies.
The WikiLeaks statement said requests were made to China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, India and several European countries. Snowden had planned earlier to seek asylum in Ecuador and has requested asylum in Russia.
The asylum requests reported by WikiLeaks and the Snowden statement could not be independently authenticated.
Snowden, who has been on the run since releasing sensitive NSA documents, is believed to have been in Moscow airport's transit zone since his arrival from Hong Kong on June 23. The U.S. has annulled his passport, and Ecuador, where he had hoped to get asylum, has been giving mixed signals about offering him shelter.
After Snowden applied for political asylum to remain in Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters in Moscow that Snowden would have to stop leaking U.S. secrets if he wanted asylum there -- and he added that Snowden seemed unwilling to stop publishing leaks of classified material.
At the same time, Putin said he had no plans to turn over Snowden to the United States.
The expanded requests for asylum come as the Obama administration contends with European allies angry about the release of documents that alleged U.S. eavesdropping on European Union diplomats.
Obama, in an African news conference with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, said the U.S. would provide allies with information about new reports that the NSA had bugged EU offices in Washington, New York and Brussels. But he also suggested such activity by governments would hardly be unusual.
"We should stipulate that every intelligence service --not just ours, but every European intelligence service, every Asian intelligence service, wherever there's an intelligence service -- here's one thing that they're going to be doing: They're going to be trying to understand the world better, and what's going on in world capitals around the world," he said. "If that weren't the case, then there'd be no use for an intelligence service."
The latest issue concerns allegations, published in the German newsweekly Der Spiegel, of U.S. spying on European officials. French President Francois Hollande demanded Monday that the U.S. immediately stop any such eavesdropping and suggested the widening controversy could jeopardize next week's opening of trans-Atlantic trade talks between the United States and Europe.
"We cannot accept this kind of behavior from partners and allies," Hollande said on French television.
German government spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters in Berlin, "Eavesdropping on friends is unacceptable." He declared, "We're not in the Cold War anymore."
Even before the latest disclosures, talks at the upcoming free-trade sessions were expected to be fragile, with disagreements surfacing over which items should be covered in or excluded from an agreement. The United States has said there should be no exceptions. But France has called for exempting certain cultural products, and other Europeans do not appear eager to give up longtime agricultural subsidies.
Obama said the Europeans "are some of the closest allies that we have in the world." But he added: "I guarantee you that in European capitals, there are people who are interested in, if not what I had for breakfast, at least what my talking points might be should I end up meeting with their leaders. That's how intelligence services operate."
Nonetheless, Obama said he'd told his advisers to "evaluate everything that's being claimed" and promised to share the results with allies.
Meanwhile, the Interfax news agency said a Russian consular official has confirmed that Snowden had asked for asylum in Russia.
Interfax cited Kim Shevchenko, the duty officer at the Russian Foreign Ministry's consular office in Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, as saying that Snowden's representative, Harrison, handed over his request Sunday.

Gould was struggling to finish his Ph.D. thesis when he struck upon the concept for the laser, or Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Light waves, Gould realized, would form a single concentrated beam when reflected between two mirrors inside a gas-filled chamber. Even as he was sketching his invention, Gould foresaw the tremendous potential of the laser in industry, communications, and the military. For three days he feverishly documented his ideas in a notebook, which he had notarized in a candy store near his Bronx apartment.
A small technology firm took a great interest in Gould's laser and soon won a Defense Department contract to develop lasers for the military. Ironically, Gould was denied a security clearance because of his past communist associations, and so was unable to work on his own invention. He could only watch from the sidelines as colleagues tried to build a working laser in a desperate race with larger, better-funded research labs.
Meanwhile, Gould's rival, Charles Townes, had everything that Gould lacked, most notably important academic and government appointments and esteem in the scientific community. In the dispute between the two men, few doubted Townes's word, while nearly everyone scoffed at Gould's claims. But Gould's determination was unyielding, and he fought everyone who stood in his way, including the U.S. Patent Office, major corporations, and the entire laser industry, until he finally won. Gordon Gould, the courts ruled, had invented the laser.
Laser is a grand story of technology and law. Nick Taylor has extensively interviewed Gould as well as other key participants in the battle over the laser's invention and patents. In this riveting account of genius, rivalry, and greed, he shows just how difficult it is for the legendary lone inventor to prevail when the license to a valuable invention is at stake.
Nick Taylor is the author or coauthor of eight books, including the national bestseller John Glenn: A Memoir, and numerous articles for magazines, including Esquire and The New York Times Magazine.
Chapter One
"Call your first witness."
"Your Honor, I call Gordon Gould."
Gould pushed back his chair and walked toward the witness stand. The courtroom was not as large as some of the others he had seen. It was modern and low-ceilinged, with blond wood trim and polyester fabric on the chair seats, hardly grand enough, he thought, for the impact the trial would have, one way or another, on his life. But it would do, if only it were the last courtroom he ever had to see.
Six federal court jurors and two alternates watched Gould make his way to the enclosed area beside the judge's bench. They saw a man in his late sixties, sixty-seven to be precise. He wore a two-piece charcoal gray suit — that or blue, his lawyer had told him, no brown, no vests, and for God's sake none of those little thin-soled loafers that look like dancing shoes, wear lace-up shoes so the jury knows you're serious. It made him look serious, all right. Professorial. His high forehead topped by wavy gray hair and heavy dark-rimmed glasses hinted at the inventor his lawyer had described in his opening statement. "A very great inventor," he had said. A handsome man, too, it might be added, with a strong square face, a prominent nose, dimpled chin, and blue eyes that sparkled with humor. For all the buttoned-down sobriety of his attire, he looked like a man who had fun, a man you could like. He stood in the witness box and spoke the oath in a quiet voice roughened by a smoker's rasp.
"Do you promise to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"
"I do."
Gould found the chair behind him and sat down. The three or four spectator rows were loosely filled. Here in Orlando, retirees with time on their hands jostled for seats at a good murder trial, crowding in in their loud shirts and the women with pale blue sweaters for the air conditioning and everybody with newspapers folded to the crossword puzzle for when the testimony got a little slow. None of them were here. But a couple of reporters had their pens poised to make notes. Lawyers representing firms like the one Gould was suing studied him, considering his potential effect on their employers. Shadow jurors were sprinkled here and there, people hired to gauge the way the trial was going. Gould caught the eye of his companion, Marilyn Appel, seated in the second row. She gave him a smile of support.
At the defense table, expensively dressed, sat Robby van Roijen, wearing his trademark aviator sunglasses. Van Roijen was the latest in a long line of people to think they could sweep Gould under a rug and forget about him. But he kept crawling out and popping up again. It was uncanny, but Gould was persistent. To his left, U.S. District Court Judge Patricia C. Fawsett, fortyish and blond, a nice contrast with the somber robes, presided. She was the third judge in the ten-year-old case. All the paper in all the cases and other matters that focused on Gould — the depositions, the transcripts, the Patent Office pleadings, the files compiled on him by the FBI and branches of the military — had accounted for the killing of a hundred forests.
Gould's lawyer turned his way. Warren Goodrich was a courtly man with gleaming hair of snowy white and a voice like honey, perfumed with the kind of homespun, folksy talk that juries loved. Gould had seen many lawyers, too. Once he had counted, and stopped at around two hundred. Goodrich was a trial litigator and something of a legend in courtrooms around Florida, including Orlando, where the Control Laser Corporation had its base of operations. The patent lawyers who represented Gould had hired Goodrich for his facility with jury trials.
He had opened with a ringing statement designed to impress the jury with the importance of their jobs. "Ladies and gentlemen," he had said, "this case involves an amazing, magnificent invention of man. It involves a machine that has changed our lives. It has changed our industry, and changed our lives. A laser."
Gould invented the laser. Sat bolt upright in bed one night in November 1957, grabbed a notebook, and wrote down the essence of the "amazing, magnificent" machine that, as Goodrich said, had changed industry and lives as well as medicine and science. Then he went out and got his notebook notarized. Those were the last smart things he had done for quite a while. So here he sat thirty years later in what he hoped was the last of many courtrooms, hoping for a verdict that would force laser makers to pay him for the right to manufacture his invention. Which they were reluctant to do, and that was putting it mildly.
The stakes were high. Gould figured to win or lose millions, depending on the outcome of the trial. It was just about the money, at least that was what he said. But in his heart, he knew a victory could mean vindication, too.
Quite a few people refused to believe Gould had invented the laser. The thinking was, he couldn't have. To do something like that, you had to be a serious scientist, or at least be an acolyte to one. Poor Gordon Gould, he didn't even have a Ph.D. And acolyte had never been a good way to describe him. So you were stuck with the insupportable notion that a thirty-seven-year-old graduate student had grasped the key to one of the more significant inventions of all time. Meanwhile, working down the hall was a very serious scientist and professor who, by the way, obtained the first patent on a laser and went on to win a Nobel Prize — before somebody figured out that the laser in his patent wouldn't work. Gould couldn't count the times his own claims had been greeted by the sound of laughter. If they wanted to be nice, those serious scientists, they would let on that Gould was clever enough but just, well, not really serious; he doesn't publish in our journals, you see, he doesn't go to our meetings. If they didn't want to be nice — and this was usually the case — they would hint that Gould had stolen his ideas from the august professor down the hall and then tried to claim them as his own. Hardly anyone but Gould was willing to say that it might have been the other way around.
Gould settled in his chair, thinking that if he won this thing, it would not only fill his pockets and bring his long ordeal to an end, it would force the keepers of the grail to rewrite their scientific histories. He wanted that more than he was willing to admit.
The snowy-haired Goodrich stood near the railing of the witness stand and asked Gould to tell the jury a little bit about himself.
Gould leaned toward the microphone. He described his early life, his studies, his early attempts to make inventions, his return to graduate studies to learn physics when he realized he didn't know enough. He spoke quietly, matter-of-factly, until he began describing that November night in 1957.
Now something stirred. Gould, reliving the moment of his discovery, transformed in the witness box. He shed years of age and the lines in his face softened. His eyes shone and his voice crackled with new energy.
"It suddenly flashed into my mind that the amplification of light was going to do something quite remarkable, or could be made to do something remarkable," he said. "Instead of light going in every direction, you could generate a straight beam and concentrate the amplified light power into a beam of great intensity. You could focus that beam down to a tiny spot and get a fantastic intensity. And that thought was exciting. That immediately opened up my mind. My God, you could do things with this which have never been done before!"

Congrats on the new addition.
I've had both a C/S and Myomectomy (same cut), it is normal for the scar area to itch and it will hurt if you scratch it. After my myomectomy (this was the first cut) For months, up to a year I would get phantom type of pains, sounds strange I know. But they were quick and then would go away in 5 mins or less and just random, there was no need for pain meds. did you have staples or did you have the tape? I've only ever had the tape and heard from friends that staples hurt for a while even after they are out.
The suggestion of keeping the area dry is a good one, I didn't use a pad, but rolled up a hand towel and would put it there to after my shower until I finished getting dressed (10 - 20 mins). Since you may have loose skin that hangs over the scar area it's extremely important to keep it dry and it will take longer to dry if you have the loose skin hang over. Then again if I started to sweat at any time in that area I would do the same.
You can also wear a tummy belt to pull up your loose skin and it also helps with your recovery (really does).

BUFFALO, N.Y. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been identified as the "signature injury" of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
TBI is known to cause deficits in memory, attention and decision-making and often occurs in conjunction with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety disorders and substance abuse.
An estimated 150,000 U.S. veterans have been diagnosed with TBI, based on statistics gathered by the Veterans Administration's (VA) Quality Enhancement Research Initiative, known as QUERI.
While the numbers are relatively easy to assemble, the long-term cognitive and affective consequences of TBI and the effect on veterans' quality of life are not well understood, according to the VA, and evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and treatment are limited. To be prepared to meet the needs of these veterans over time, the VA's Health Services Research & Development Unit is funding a $1.4 million, four-year prospective cohort study of Iraq and Afghanistan-era veterans, headed by University at Buffalo researchers at the Buffalo VA Medical Center. The results will be used nationwide.
VA medical centers in Albany, Syracuse, Bath and Canandaigua/Rochester also will participate in the study. Kerry T. Donnelly, Ph.D., UB adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Counseling, School and Educational Psychology and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry, is principal investigator.
The Department of Counseling, School and Educational Psychology is in the UB Graduate School of Education, while the Department of Psychiatry is part of the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
"This project began here at the Buffalo VA in June 2008," said Donnelly. "While the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs have worked well in concert to address the needs of service members with major injuries, such as limb loss or severe TBI, veterans who might have more subtle co

Bible Studies
If the original authors of the Bible were around today, in this tough publishing market, they could always design for Broadway as a fallback plan. The books are nothing if not theatrical — large-cast, challengingly choreographed, creatively set-designed, multi-act epics with resounding messages. It's why their texts have inspired so many successful Broadway musicals, from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to Jesus Christ Superstar to Godspell, the last of which runs through November 4 at Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre (280 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables).
The parables constituting the episodic Godspell are based on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew, including perennial favorites such as the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the Parable of Lazarus, and the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Eighteen songs courtesy of composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), including the transcendent hit "Day by Day," carry the action across two ambitious acts. The scenic design remains something of a mystery — no set is explicitly dictated in the text, so designers have historically taken liberties with it, setting it everywhere from apocalyptic landscapes to abandoned theaters. Legend has it that one production took place inside a McDonald's restaurant; we assume the chicken nuggets looked like Jesus.

Finally getting some sleep!
I'm so glad I found this app! I'm a RN and I work night shift, which means I sleep during the day. Unfortunately everyone else is awake (and noisy) when I'm trying to sleep. I'm a very light sleeper so every little noise wakes me up. I've tried several different types of ear plugs but they all hurt my ears and leave them feeling bruised after wearing them for 6-8 hours while sleeping. I've tried listening to music and I've tried nature noises like birds and rain forest sounds, etc but they end up waking me up as well with their variations and changes throughout the recordings. My "go-to" on this app has been one of the fan settings. It's a constant noise and one that I'm pretty used to hearing and associating with sleep, and it can be loud enough to block out a wide variety of noises, soft and loud, that would normally wake me up. I also like the white noise, although I'm sticking with the fan for now. If it stops working I'll probably try one of the others. So far I'm sleeping better than I have in years!
Slumber and Labor in divine peace!
Whilst sleeping or working at my desk, I often have one of these sounds playing for me in the background. My favorites are the crackling fires and the rain falling on leaves with hushed birdsong. Now I can sleep so soundly no matter what noises might be coming from the living room where my family is still up. Also, working with the crackling fire seems to help calm me and put me in such intense meditative focus.
Another sound that might be added to the comfort and delight of some users would be--oddly--airplanes passing overhead and trains passing (for some of us crazy city slickers). I agree the sound of wind through the trees in autumn (or any time of year) would be nice to have...it is one of my faves in all this world. The country road with the now and then car passing would be good, too.
Thank you for such a wonderfully useful and peace inspiring app!
Just what I was looking for!
I had told my husband that we should get a white noise machine as we always fall asleep with the tv on; then that proven motto "there's an app for that" popped in my head.
I barely had the app for two minutes before upgrading to the paid version I was that impressed. With plenty of choices and ways to layer them together, I had several perfect mixes to choose from within minutes. This app has something for everyone! From running waters to animal sounds and even several looped musical choices, it has it all.
Highly recommend for adults and children alike. There is also a timer for how long you would like the background noise to play, as well as a fade an alarm that you can set to wake up to. I was also very impressed with how little battery it used on my iPad.
