Relativity shakes a magnetMarch 3, 2014 1:37 pm | News | Comments
Current technologies for writing, storing, and reading information are either charge-based or spin-based. The downside is that weak perturbations such as impurities or radiation can lead to uncontrolled charge redistributions and, as a consequence, to data loss. Researchers in Europe have predicted and discovered a new physical phenomenon that allows them to manipulate the state of a magnet by electric signals and eliminate this loss.
Professor invents magnet for fast and cheap data storageMarch 3, 2014 12:20 pm | News | Comments
According to recent findings by an international team of computer engineers, optical data storage does not require expensive magnetic materials because synthetic alternatives work just as well. The team's discovery that synthetic ferrimagnets can be switched optically brings a much cheaper method for storing data using light a step closer.
Scientists twist sound with metamaterialsFebruary 25, 2014 5:14 pm | News | Comments
A Chinese-U.S. research team is exploring the use of metamaterials to create devices that manipulate sound in versatile and unprecedented ways. In a recently published paper, the team reports a simple design for a device, called an acoustic field rotator, which can twist wave fronts inside it so that they appear to be propagating from another direction.
Controlling magnetism with an electric fieldFebruary 19, 2014 8:16 am | by Marie Guma-Diaz and Annette Gallagher UM News | News | Comments
There is a big effort in industry to produce electrical devices with more and faster memory and logic. Magnetic memory elements, such as in a hard drive, and in the future in what is called MRAM (magnetic random access memory), use electrical currents to encode information. However, the heat which is generated is a significant problem, since it limits the density of devices and hence the performance of computer chips.
Physicists reveal novel magnetoelectric effectFebruary 12, 2014 8:53 am | by Chris Branam, Univ. of Arkansas | News | Comments
New research at the Univ. of Arkansas reveals a novel magnetoelectric effect that makes it possible to control magnetism with an electric field. The novel mechanism may provide a new route for using multiferroic materials for the application of RAM (random access memories) in computers and other devices, such as printers.
An electrical switch for magnetismJanuary 31, 2014 11:13 am | News | Comments
Only a few elements in the periodic table are inherently magnetic, but scientists have recently discovered that gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other transition metals demonstrate magnetic behavior when formed into nanometer-scale structures. Scientists at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science have now shown that this nanoscale magnetism in thin films of platinum can be controlled using an externally applied electric field.
Researchers take magnetic waves for a spinJanuary 30, 2014 8:23 am | News | Comments
Researchers at New York Univ. have developed a method for creating and directing fast moving waves in magnetic fields that have the potential to enhance communication and information processing in computer chips and other consumer products. Their method employs spin waves, which are waves that move in magnetic materials.
Frozen magnetic monopoles create new laboratory physicsJanuary 20, 2014 9:56 am | News | Comments
Many of the most interesting things in nature, from spectacular lightning strikes to the subtlety of life itself, are transient. To discover the secrets of transient, or far from equilibrium, states, physicists need simple yet appealing laboratory systems. Researchers have managed to create just such a system in the magnetic material known as "spin ice".
RAMBO a small but powerful magnetJanuary 7, 2014 8:08 am | News | Comments
Rice Univ. scientists have pioneered a tabletop magnetic pulse generator that does the work of a room-sized machine and more.

Graphene can host exotic new quantum electronic states at its edgesDecember 23, 2013 11:28 am | News | Comments
According to new research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graphene, under an extremely powerful magnetic field and at extremely low temperature, can effectively filter electrons according to the direction of their spin. This is something that cannot be done by any conventional electronic system and could render graphene suitable for exotic uses such as quantum computing.
Team develops "spinning trap" to measure electron roundnessDecember 6, 2013 9:19 am | News | Comments
Are electrons truly round? More specifically, is the electron's charge between its poles uniform? A group at JILA has tackled this difficult question and has developed a method of spinning electric and magnetic fields around trapped molecular ions to measure the tiny electrons. They haven't yet matched other electric dipole moment measurement techniques, but eventually the new method should surpass them.
"Shaken, not stirred": Oscillator drives electron spinDecember 4, 2013 8:28 am | by Ann Ju, Cornell Univ. | News | Comments
A collaboration of physicists and engineers has found a new way to control electron spins not with a magnetic field but with a mechanical oscillator. This demonstration of electron spin resonance that's "shaken, not stirred" showed that an oscillator can drive the transitions of electron spins within defects commonly found in the crystal lattice of a diamond.
Teaching matter waves new tricks: making magnets with ultracold atomsNovember 27, 2013 10:19 am | News | Comments
In a new effort to understand magnetism, a group of Hamburg Centre for Ultrafast Imaging researchers created "mimic" magnets by controlling quantum matter waves made of rubidium atoms. Under well-defined conditions made possible with the help of supercomputers, these artificially created magnets can be studied with clarity and then give a fresh perspective on long-standing riddles.
New effect couples electricity and magnetism in materialsNovember 27, 2013 9:07 am | News | Comments
In materials science, electric and magnetic effects have usually been studied separately. There are, however, extraordinary materials called "multiferroics", in which electric and magnetic excitations are closely linked. Scientists in Austria have now shown in an experiment that magnetic properties and excitations can be influenced by an electric voltage.
Scientists create perfect solution to iron out kinks in surfacesNovember 20, 2013 8:50 pm | News | Comments
A new technique that allows curved surfaces to appear flat to electromagnetic waves has been developed by scientists in England. The discovery could hail a step-change in how antennas are tailored to each platform, which could be useful to a number of industries that rely on high performance antennas for reliable and efficient wireless communications.
Researchers integrate single-crystal BFO onto silicon chipNovember 20, 2013 8:31 am | News | Comments
Researchers from North Carolina State Univ. have, for the first time, integrated a material called bismuth ferrite (BFO) as a single crystal onto a silicon chip, opening the door to a new generation of multifunctional, smart devices. Integrating the BFO into the silicon substrate as a single crystal makes the BFO more efficient by limiting the amount of electric charge that "leaks" out of the BFO into the substrate.
Magnetic nanoparticles could aid heat dissipationNovember 20, 2013 8:05 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Cooling systems generally rely on water pumped through pipes to remove unwanted heat. Now, researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in Australia have found a way of enhancing heat transfer in such systems by using magnetic fields, a method that could prevent hotspots that can lead to system failures. The system could also be applied to cooling everything from electronic devices to advanced fusion reactors, they say.
Harnessing the power of skyrmionsNovember 15, 2013 8:12 am | News | Comments
Scientists in Japan have recently shown that structural control of small magnetic vortex structures called skyrmions could lead to a compact, low-power alternative to conventional magnetic data storage. Skyrmions occur rarely in certain magnetic compounds, but after it was discovered that they can exist near room temperature and can be manipulated with little current, research interest has grown.
Spinning atoms in light crystalsOctober 29, 2013 1:47 pm | News | Comments
After more than 40 years of intense research, experimental physicists still seek to explore the rich behavior of electrons confined to a 2-D crystalline structure exposed to large magnetic fields. Now a team in Europe has developed a new experimental method to simulate these systems using a crystal made of neutral atoms and laser light.
New research validates theory on quantum magnetic ordering in materialsOctober 22, 2013 9:19 am | News | Comments
A new study set out to use numerical simulations to validate previous theoretical predictions describing materials exhibiting so-called antiferromagneting characteristics. A recently discovered theory shows that the ordering temperature depends on two factors—namely the spin-wave velocity and the staggered magnetization. The simulations match these theoretical predictions.
Scientist use heat to make magnetsOctober 21, 2013 2:19 pm | News | Comments
Researchers have recently provided the first evidence ever that it is possible to generate a magnetic field by using heat instead of electricity. The phenomenon is referred to as the Magnetic Seebeck effect or "thermomagnetism".
Understanding a new kind of magnetismSeptember 23, 2013 7:37 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Using low-frequency laser pulses, a team of researchers has carried out the first measurements that reveal the detailed characteristics of a unique kind of magnetism found in a mineral called herbertsmithite. In this material, the magnetic elements constantly fluctuate, leading to an exotic state of fluid magnetism called a "quantum spin liquid."
A material's multiple personalitiesSeptember 12, 2013 7:57 am | News | Comments
Just like people, materials can sometimes exhibit "multiple personalities." This kind of unusual behavior in a certain class of materials has compelled researchers at Argonne National Laboratory to take a closer look at the precise mechanisms that govern the relationships between superconductivity and magnetism.
Magnetic semiconductor material holds promise for "spintronics"September 11, 2013 7:36 am | News | Comments
Researchers at North Carolina State Univ. have created a new compound, strontium tin oxide (Sr3SnO) that can be integrated into silicon chips and is a dilute magnetic semiconductor, meaning that it could be used to make "spintronic" devices, which rely on magnetic force to operate, rather than electrical currents.
Ion thruster: A new idea for nanosatellite micro-rocketsSeptember 3, 2013 8:10 am | by Marcia Goodrich, MTU | News | Comments
Though nanosatellites already borrow several components, including cameras and radios, from terrestrial gadgets, propulsion systems have to be built from scratch. Researchers are working on electrospray ionic liquid "rockets", but the microscopic needles they require are difficult and tedious to make. A researcher has found a way to let nature do the work, simplifying the fabrication process.

I'm running in to a mod_rewrite issue where the second rule in my .htaccess file is overriding the first. The .htaccess file in question looks like the one below:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /path/appname
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /api/v1/(.*)$ api/v1/index.php?rquest=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php
The issue that I'm seeing is this:
If I go directly to http://example.com/path/appname/api/v1/valid/endpoint the first RewriteRule triggers correctly and I get the result back from the API.
However, say I visit http://example.com/path/appname/app - a page which has been rewritten according to the second RewriteRule. This page makes AJAX requests to the api/v1 page. Those requests are instead directed through the second RewriteRule and send to my base index.php page.
I'm confused on how this could be, as my understanding is that the [L] flag prevents any further rules from being run once it matches and thus once any request that has 'api/v1' in it should catch that and stop checking for any further matches. What do I need to change in order for this to work correctly?

I know it is a bad (security) practice to call overridable methods from an object constructor in Java. However, for example, if the constructor has to initialize some data, it seems reasonable to call the respective setter method so that I don't copy code. The setters are public and not final. Is there any standard way of dealing with this, like declaring private setter methods, that the public ones call? To illustrate, here is some code:
class A {
private double x,y;
private privateSetX(double x1) { x=x1; }
private privateSetY(double y1) { y=y1; }
public A() { privateSetX(0); privateSetY(0); }
public setX(double x1) { privateSetX(x1); }
public setY(double y1) { privateSetY(y1); }

London Labour Party conference exposes democratic deficit
Jon Lansman reports on the London Labour Party conference on the weekend of 30 November.
"Falling wages, savage cuts and sham employment expose the recovery as bogus"
In the Guardian of 20 October, economist Ha Joon Chang, writing under the headline Why did Britain's political class buy into the Tories' economic fairytale?, sums up the case against austerity and gives Labour a wake-up call.
"Needed: a vigorous opposition to neoliberalism"
In the Guardian of 3 November, the paper's economics editor, Larry Elliott, bemoans the lack of "fundamental change since the global financial crisis" and concludes that a "collapse not just of communism but also of social democracy" has left an "ideological vacuum... being filled by nationalism, environmentalism and religion".

Texas Men's AD DeLoss Dodds To Announce Retirement, Effective August '14
Published October 1, 2013
EVERYTHING'S BIGGER...: ESPN.com's Max Olson wrote Dodds made UT the "financial behemoth it has become today and oversaw one of the greatest periods of athletic success in school history." Whoever is "deemed fit to take his place has Texas-sized shoes to fill" (ESPN.com, 9/30). UT men's programs "have won 14 national championships and 108 conference titles under Dodds' watch" (ESPN.com, 9/30). ESPN.com's Ivan Maisel: "It's a measure of the resources and the expectations that Dodds has raised that fans wonder why the Longhorns don't dominate every sport in which they compete" (ESPN.com, 10/1).

Human Wrecking Balls
Fast Food Ferocity
- Episode Description
The Pumphrey Brothers serve up a serious slam and a side of smackdown to a corner burger joint with their bare hands. Craig orders up a chop till you drop combo at the counter and Paul flips the grill, then they demolish the dining area, devastate a drive-thru and pulverize a stainless steel back kitchen. And in a head-to-head challenge, the boys race against the clock to beat the lard out of two commercial fryers. With supersized destruction and devastating blows, Paul and Craig tackle a massive 1,200-pound air vent hood, and in an amazing finale, both brothers take on the 4,000-pound drive-thru canopy, flattening it like a cheap cheeseburger!moreless

Another Gates Foundation face heads to DC
Another high-ranking employee from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is headed to Washington, D.C., to work for President Barack Obama's administration.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Friday that it had hired Rachael Goldfarb as counselor to the undersecretary for research, education and economics. The undersecretary that Goldfarb will be working for is Rajiv Shah, former director of the agricultural development program at the Gates Foundation.
In May, I wrote a story about employees hired away from the Seattle-based foundation to work for the new administration, particularly in education. Two weeks ago, I asked Vicki Phillips, director of education initiatives at Gates, about the same issue.
On Friday, Kristi Heim, my counterpart at The Seattle Times, pointed out the overlap between Gates Foundation food initiatives and a new initiative pledged at the G8 summit of world leaders in Italy.
At the Gates Foundation, Goldfarb was special assistant to Tadataka (Tachi) Yamada, president of the global health program, the largest of the foundation's three program areas. A call seeking additional information was not immediately returned by the USDA.

The Oakland Athletics have acquired right-hander Chris Resop from the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league right-hander Zach Thornton. The A's also announced Friday that they will not offer a contract to outfielder Jermaine Mitchell. A move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Resop will be announced later. Resop was 1-4 with one save and a 3.91 ERA in 61 relief appearances with Pittsburgh last year. The 30-year-old has spent parts of seven seasons in the majors with Florida, the Los Angeles Angels, Atlanta and Pittsburgh. He has a 9-11 career record with two saves and a 4.51 ERA in 213 games. Thornton went 4-0 with 16 saves and a 4.53 ERA in 48 relief appearances for Class A Stockton last season.

The next time you start making excuses, think about John Gleeson.
Three years ago this September, Gleeson was on Long Island training for his third Ironman triathlon. Just as he was finishing a 120-mile bike ride, a car broadsided him. It was brutal. The impact broke bones everywhere, "from my head to my toes," he says. And the surgeries to repair his badly shattered body caused even more trouble. He spent the remainder of 2008 in rehab and was released just in time to be with his wife when she delivered their second child.
Gleeson finally returned to his job at Bank of America Merrill Lynch on July 1, 2009. But life after the crash has been a daily struggle. "I used to run to catch trains," he says. "Now everything is at a different pace. I have to wake up at 5 a.m. to commute to the city."
Nonetheless, he hates sitting around—so he's started running again. "Not that many people would call it 'running,' " he says. "My gait is really screwed up. I have to raise my foot with my hip. It's not pretty, but it takes me across the finish line." Of course, he's not exactly running marathons anymore. He does 5-K and 10-K races, and most of the other runners push past him at some point. But he's not in it to win it.
Besides, Gleeson learned long ago that talent is overrated. The biggest challenges in life are more mental than physical; he's seen men with loads of natural athletic ability quit in the middle of races, and he's seen guys complete Ironmans who look like they don't belong anywhere near a finish line. "Anyone can do an Ironman," he says. "Anyone. If you ever go watch one, you'll see. There are all shapes and sizes, all walks of life. There's a guy I know who's 65—he finished first in his age group a few weeks ago in Utah, and he's going to the world championship in Hawaii. There are 80-year-olds out there doing it. My friend Hector Picard did a half-Ironman yesterday down in Florida. He has no arms."
When a major poll last year asked Americans how their New Year's resolutions were coming along, fewer than one in five adults said they were champs at losing weight, reducing stress, exercising regularly, or eating healthfully. So what's the problem? When those who failed to make a breakthrough were asked to give a reason, the biggest culprit was willpower. A lack of willpower, they said, was what stood between their lives and their dreams.
Phooey. If you've been blaming willpower for your lack of progress, it's because of...
Roadblock #1
You don't understand willpower.
"Willpower is not just a thing you have or don't have," writes Stanford psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., in her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.
"Willpower needs help." She gives the example of her friend Nathan, who wants to lose his paunch in time to attend his high school reunion. But Nathan has a problem that's bigger than his spare tire: He mistakenly thinks willpower is just a matter of deciding to be strong. He thinks losing weight is all about his struggle to leave food on the plate at the end of every meal. What about a smarter strategy, like heaping the plate with vegetables? Oh, no. "I have to be strong," Nathan says. Strategies would be weak, he thinks. Okay, tough guy.
Nathan lost the weight in time—but after the reunion he gained it all back and then some. If your goals require any sort of long-term commitment, you can't muscle through on willpower alone. Think of it this way: A breakthrough is not just about will. It's also about skill.
There's another common misconception about willpower, and it's...
Roadblock #2
You think you can run out of willpower.
Dweck's latest research tests the theory, prominent among psychologists, that willpower is a finite resource.
"People have really different conceptions of willpower," she tells me. "As it turns out, willpower is limited only for people who believe that it's limited."
In an experiment, Dweck and her colleagues put college students through a series of mind-numbing tests, like crossing out every e on a page of text and then correctly identifying the meaning of a color word (red, green, yellow, blue) when the word appeared in a font of a different color. The students who walked into the tests believing that willpower is a finite, exhaustible resource ended up making more mistakes than the students who agreed with this statement:
"Your mental stamina fuels itself; even after strenuous mental exertion you can continue doing more of it." In fact, the willpower-is-finite students were about 40 percent more likely to make mistakes under stress than the willpower-has-no-limits group.
Dweck's latest findings build on a lifetime of research focused on solving a psychological puzzle: What makes some people give up in the face of failure while others keep moving forward? Some of her most cited research involved her work with seventh graders who were struggling with math. She split them into two groups. Both groups received training in study skills, but one group was taught that the brain is like a muscle: The more you use it, the more it changes and becomes stronger. The more it grows. The students in the control group failed to improve their grades despite the training. The students who were taught the growth mindset improved in both motivation and grades. This idea was a revelation to the students, one of whom said, with tears in his eyes, "You mean I don't have to be dumb?"
In essence, Dweck was teaching students to embrace a challenge as a chance to learn and grow. Even failure is seen as information—a sort of midcourse correction to your efforts. Its opposite is a fixed mindset. With a fixed mindset, you have a belief—without even realizing it—that your qualities are carved in stone. And since any failure is a big implicit verdict (you're a loser), you avoid risk. You stick with what you know. And you never grow.
People who look at the world with a fixed mindset believe that if you have ability, things come easily, says Dweck. "They think that if something is hard, if they have to struggle, they're not meant to do it," she says. But you don't have to live with this mindset. (That would be a fixed mindset about your fixed mindset!) You can adopt a growth mindset—and the shift is simply a matter of self-awareness. You can teach yourself to see struggle and failure as an opportunity for growth, not as a confirmation of the futility of even trying.
Have you ever had a lousy coach? A guy whose skills were limited to yelling, and yelling louder? That coaching style may be stuck in your head. Welcome to...
Roadblock #3
You have a bad coach: yourself.
Just as a bad coach belittles you, you may belittle yourself, says Richard Ryan, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester. "A critical inner coach is just as ineffective as the bad coach you had in high school," he says. "If you're saying to yourself, 'Oh, you fat slob, start moving,' eventually you'll rebel. The rebel beats the controller every time."
Ryan and his colleague Edward Deci, Ph.D., have developed the self-determination theory of motivation, which basically states that you're far more likely to complete a task if your motivation is intrinsic. If someone or something is pushing from the outside—a boss or a coach or a reason like I need to lose weight for my reunion—you'll stop performing as soon as the pressure lets up. But if it's within you, you'll keep going. Ryan believes physical activity is inherently intrinsic—that we're not lazy slobs by nature. On the contrary, we are "active organisms" who naturally seek out activity as a source of vitality and fun.
So why are you screwing it up? Maybe because of...

Non-commutative metric topology on matrix state space
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We present an operator space version of Rieffel's theorem on the agreement of the metric topology, on a subset of the Banach space dual of a normed space, from a seminorm with the weak*-topology. As an application we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the matrix metric from an unbounded Fredholm module to give the BW-topology on the matrix state space of the -algebra. Motivated by recent results we formulate a non-commutative Lipschitz seminorm on a matrix order unit space and characterize those matrix Lipschitz seminorms whose matrix metric topology coincides with the BW-topology on the matrix state space.

Uncle Jack shows up... And seems like not the obvious bad guy he is for about five seconds, when he scares Elizabeth Fisher into hiding. See, Jack was the only person who actually knew Evelyn, so -- absent the metric tons of microfiche that would clear this up in a second on any other show -- if he's in the same room as Evelyn/Elizabeth, the ruse will suddenly present. Chuck does a DNA test, and she's really his mother, and because of hilarious teabagger nonsense*, hands over the reins of the company... Just long enough for Elizabeth and Jack, being in cahoots of course anyhow, to pull some kind of Rooster and Lily St. James nonsense at which we still haven't quite arrived. My favorite that dog song, "Annie," from their third album, becomes more and more essential each week.
Dan and Vanessa continue to be surprisingly steamy and adorable as she plays all kinds of sexy games with his stupid, stupid head. Meanwhile, Rufus and Lily finally re-bond to deal with what a psycho Jenny is becoming, while she makes out with Damien nonstop. I guess her plan is to be just that fucked up, so much that even Lily and Rufus would be forced to think about manning up to save her from her innate Jennyness. And it's working. Because she is naturally that fucked up. Like, we'll be seeing Agnes next week.
Jenny eventually realizes that Damien does not deserve that particular honor -- in a characteristically compassionate, well-written scene -- and bounces, but since she's already hooked her parents back up and made Serena care about her again by teasing everybody about the sex issue, she doesn't care about the wreckage when she implies they not only had the sex, but went on to do it weird. What else? Blair was fucking fantastic, but not really in the front seat where she belongs: Just wearing a fucking insane array of gorgeous outfits and trying to run interference with horrible old Jack, who is now wearing Evil Goatee to complement his sexy face. Which is working out for him, to be honest.
OTOH, not working: Serena hatches a fantastic plan -- if you're as big an EF Benson fan as I am, and trust me you don't exist -- to seduce Damien before he can take Jenny's virtue, but poor old Nate calls Rufus to fuck it up for reasons having to do with that time Serena took his virginity and then ran off and KILLED A MAN and enrolled herself in boarding school. Even still, Nate comes out looking like a total jerk, which is what always happens when anybody dares to call Serena a whore. Which don't do that, because she's not, and that just means you hate women...
*Oh, now I remember. You know how Chuck used to run around raping everybody all the time? Apparently enough ladies noticed themselves getting constantly raped that they've put together a class-action sexual harassment suit, which means Chuck needs to be removed from the Empire board post-haste to protect their financial interests from his once-constant raping. He can't hand it over to Lily/Bass Industries, because that would throw off this other thing having to do with Bart's memory. (Can't hand it over to Daily Intel, whom nobody -- including us -- can stop referencing and fucking talking about all the time every week despite the fact that Lawson is finally back, assuming his rightful Aragorn kinghood over us all.) He can't hand it over to Blair -- don't think she didn't offer, and don't think that made us jump up and clap hands -- because she is a wild thing and not yet twenty. Who's left? Mommy. In bed with Uncle Claudius. Shitting collectively over Chuck's entire two-season storyline, and no I'm not letting this go, so let's move on...
Um, Lily's "headaches" aren't actually funny. I think she's dying. So yeah.
Next week: Serena, who is all full of plans lately, takes on Uncle Jack; Jenny does whatever dipshit thing she's going to do that's worse than dealing drugs; Agnes rips of her wig and then blows everybody up in a huge fireball that envelops the apartment building including the wife of the fashion designer that once attacked Michael's wife Jane, who now is faking blindness and will soon be set to sea -- in a wheelchair -- by her vastly better sister, the red-headed Simpson-spawning Sydney.
So science fiction people are like, if I say that Caprica is just a slightly awesomer version of this show, they would not see that as a compliment. But do check it out, because imagine if: Serena joined a terrorist cult, and Blair became a two-ton killer robot, and Little J lived in the Matrix and was becoming God. Oh, and if Lily were the pagan wife of Bill Gates and getting tempted into Christianity by a bisexual schoolmarm with a huge opium problem. I mean, that's not even spoilers, it's just the mission statement of the show.
I don't know about you, but that's precisely the show I have longed for since I was born. And it's funny, because I was going to say that this week anyway, but then this episode happened, all about fathers and daughters, a couple days after shit got real in that same father/daughter arena over on Caprica.
Anyway, Rufus and Little J are in their same tense détante, with him monitoring her before and after school and forcing her to eat the ubiquitous waffles. (Awesomely: "Waffles. Shocker.") GG's like, "Dads worry about their daughters getting hurt, about their daughters hating them, and about their daughters one day growing up." Scandalously, Jenny takes about three steps out the door before calling Lily's car service to get her the fuck out of DUMBO and over to Damien's hotel room, and then snapping her head all around to create a convincing illusion of having become a Rihanna song in living color, hair gone all Serena-wild in slow-motion. It's adorable and cheesy, like Jenny rolls.
In a cute black satin robe, Blair nibbles at strawberries and chats with Elizabeth about how well things are going between them. They have played squash and visited haberdasheries, and there's "something" he wants to ask his mother later. Chuck comes in, and his face is making that face it makes, and he and his very important lawyer Doug Jarrett inform her that he's being accused of sexual harassment by several Empire employees. He's straightforwardly hilarious about yes, he did used to go around raping people every day, but that was in the Palace, and he has since curtailed the constant raping as a sign of respect for Blair. She is grateful.
"So we'll fight it! We have innocence, good breeding and Doug Jarrett -- one of the best lawyers in New York -- on our side. It's a slam dunk!" Charles wants to settle because of PR, but you know Blair's not going out like that: "Settlements are for the guilty! Celebrities who run people over! The Catholic Church! It's not fair!" Be that as it may -- and whoa! -- but there's a thing for Bart at the Historical Society tonight, and he doesn't want the news cycle about this fucking it up for him. Blair immediately and correctly acknowledges that really he's scared of having this stuff come out in front of Elizabeth, and even though he swears he's not doing it for that reason, it seems likely that -- squash games and haberdasheries aside -- you would want to wait a few weeks before telling your estranged, back-from-the-dead mom about your history of constant raping.

- Moving Multicultural Out of The Silos in
Engage:Hispanics on
Corporate America is increasingly undertaking enterprise-level initiatives to move multicultural market considerations from a segment-driven consideration into their core business operations. Market realities are driving this trend: the growth of multicultural populations, their spending power and the projections they will drive a majority of market growth in many industries. A glimpse at the demographic profile of the coveted Millennial population brings this market imperative into focus: Hispanics, African-Americans and Asians make up 41% of all Millennials in the U.S.
- How Hispanic Millennials Use Food And Beverages To Connect With Their Culture in
Engage:Hispanics on
For the last year and half, I've been involved in a nationwide research initiative focused on Hispanic Millennials. Our research has focused on understanding how Hispanic Millennials differ from "mainstream," Asian and African-American Millennials, as well as older Hispanics (35+). We dive deep into attitudes, behavior and motivations related to healthcare, financial services and food, beverage and alcohol consumption.
- Are Hispanics The Last Line Of Defense For Struggling Brands? in

The prevailing wisdom is that investment in the Hispanic market is a growth move by marketers looking to increase their revenue and market share. However, I have quietly noticed a trend during the last few years that leads me to question the motives behind these investments. Has increased Hispanic market investment been a defensive move?
- How Hispanic Gen Z Will Change Everything in
Engage:Hispanics on
As the tail end of millennials turn 21 and graduate from college, it's time to turn our attention to next major consumer group - those under 21. Gen Z is huge. According to the U.S. Census (March 2015), those under 20 represent 25.9% of the U.S. population or 83 million people.
- Hispanic Millennials And Financial Services in
Engage:Hispanics on
Historically, financial service companies have been slow to focus on the burgeoning U.S. Hispanic market. While certain sub-categories, namely money transfer services, check cashing and mortgage providers have aggressively pursued Hispanics, most efforts have been focused on the "unbanked" - an unsophisticated and relatively small segment of unacculturated Hispanic consumers that were generally outside the mainstream financial world.

Engage:Hispanics on
Most marketers are behind when it comes to investing in the Hispanic market. Of the $171 billion spent on paid media in 2013 (according to eMarketer), Hispanic media spending totaled just $8.3 billion (according to Kantar and Advertising Age). Hispanic media spending represents less than 5% of total paid media spending, while Hispanics represent 17.1% of the U.S. population. While paid media doesn't capture the entirety of marketing activity targeted to Hispanics, it provides a good barometer.

As we enter the second open enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act this fall, attention will inevitably turn to driving enrollment among the so-called "young and healthy" segment of 18- to 34-year-old consumers, many of whom are Hispanics. It has been well documented that the initial rollout of the ACA in the fall of 2013 saw early challenges in enrolling "young and healthy" Hispanics. Numerous studies and news reports identified three key challenges to Latino enrollment.

by Jose Villa (Engage:Hispanics on
Hi Tasha, The cross-cultural model I refer to is addressed in a previous article: http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/212931/multicultural-total-market-cross-cultural-what.html. Cross-Cultural Marketing = one marketing program that leverages ethnic markets to reach across ethnic and general markets. This is the approach I'm advocating for websites, social media communities/platforms, and digital content (owned media). Currently, most brand websites, social media communities and digital content are developed with with ethnic audiences as an after-though (or disregarded completely) or as separate and distinct multicultural destinations (e.g. FordEnEspanol.com).
