Home > Press > Mervyn Miles announced as new Chief Scientific Advisor for IOP Publishing
Professor Mervyn Miles of the University of Bristol has today been announced as the new Chief Scientific Advisor for IOP Publishing.
IOP is a leading global scholarly publisher, specializing in the physical sciences and home to the renowned Journal of Physics series, New Journal of Physics and Physics World magazine. The company is the publishing arm of the Institute of Physics, a leading scientific society with over 45,000 members whose goal is to promote physics and physicists for the benefit of all.
The role of Chief Scientific Advisor is to provide independent advice to the publishing business in relation to subject coverage, processes (such as peer review and copyright) and policies. In addition the Chief Scientific Advisor also acts as an independent assessor should any of the editorial processes be challenged. As a Non-Executive Director of the publishing company, the Chief Scientific Advisor is also part of the Executive Board that reviews and agrees the strategic direction of the company.
Professor Miles is currently a Professor of Physics, Head of the Nanophysics and Soft Matter Group, and Director of the Centre for Nanoscience & Quantum Information at the University of Bristol.
His research activity over the last 20 years has been in the development and application of new scanning probe microscopes (SPM) with specific applications in soft matter. SPMs are major characterization techniques in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Recent developments include atomic force microscopes capable of over 1000 frames per second and video-rate non-contact force microscopes also capable of revealing the structure of water at the molecular scale above a biological surface. Recently, he has worked to develop nanotools controlled by holographic optical tweezers to study biological structures.
He has also published over 200 articles during his career and has given over 200 invited talks.
Professor Miles has a long standing relationship with the Institute and IOP Publishing, having been elected a fellow of the Institute in 2006 and served on the Editorial Board and been a Section Editor for Nanotechnology for 10 years.
Professor Miles said of his appointment: "Society Publishers like IOP are at the heart of the scientific communication process and it has been a real eye opener to see what goes on behind the scenes to create the services so many people rely on. This is a challenging time in the field of publishing and I am delighted to be working with a company which is truly committed to partnering the scientific community and meaningfully advancing the process of communicating scientific research."
Professor Miles takes over the role from Sir John Enderby, who retired from the position at the end of 2011 after 15 years' service. Sir Enderby continues to work with IOP as a consultant.

Zotac's first Mini ITX spin on the H55 Express chipset won a TR Recommended award when we reviewed the board back in April. At the time, we lamented the lack of USB 3.0 connectivity—something that Gigabyte's H55-based Mini ITX board now includes. It seems Zotac has been paying attention, because the company has now come out with a version of the H55 ITX that adds a couple of SuperSpeed USB ports.
Offically known as the H55ITX-C-E (not to be confused with the original H55ITX-A-E), the new model retains all of the goodness of its forebear, including a PCI Express x16 slot, HDMI and DVI video outputs, and both Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n Wi-Fi. Zotac's press release doesn't mention the use of a bridge chip, and I doubt there's room for one on the board, which means the USB 3.0 controller is likely connected directly to the H55 chipset. You know what that means: gen-one PCI Express bandwidth, which only amounts to 250MB/s in each direction. That should still be plenty quick for most SuperSpeed devices, though.
In addition to expanding the H55 ITX's connectivity options, Zotac has employed an "enhanced power delivery system" to support Core i7 800-series CPUs. The power upgrade includes passive heatsinks for the voltage regulation circuitry, but it's unclear whether the underlying hardware has changed.
We've confirmed with Zotac that the H55ITX-C-E has a suggested retail price of $140, which is only $10 more than the currently street price of the existing model. Boards should show up at Newegg by the end of the week.
This discussion is now closed.

The Arizona offense is so unbalanced it could serve as governor of Illinois.
And this lack of balance is killing the Cardinals as they spit and sputter over the finish line.
Football players, fans and coaches, and even the dreaded pigskin "pundits," almost all agree that some semblance of offensive balance helps lead to success in the NFL.
Run a little here, pass a little there and it all works out in the end. Sure, you may lean one way of the other; you may be better in one discipline than another. But you can't do one thing all the time – no matter how well you do it – and expect success.
The Patriots and their fans learned this lesson the hard way last year, didn't they? New England suddenly abandoned the ground game in the Super Bowl, attempting three passes for every run (48 to 16) and suffered their first and only loss in an otherwise unblemished season.
Apparently, the Arizona coaching staff didn't watch the game tape – or any game tape for that matter.
Last week against Minnesota, the Cardinals attempted 50 passes – and just seven runs. They lost 35-14.
They boasted some semblance of balance a week earlier (33 passes, 22 runs) and beat St. Louis handily, 34-10.
It's a pattern that runs like clockwork for the Cardinals this year: balance the passing attack with a few runs and they win. Abandon the run and they lose.
In Arizona's eight wins, they've averaged 35 passes and 28 runs – a fairly balanced attack in this day and age of pass-happy offenses.
In Arizona's six losses, they've averaged 47 passes and 14 runs – abandoning any semblance of a ground game when times get tough.
You can understand the aversion Ken Whisenhunt and his staff have to the run. The Cardinals average just 3.3 yards when they run the ball – dead last in the NFL – but a healthy 7.2 yards when they drop back to pass (using our formula that includes sacks), good enough for 5th in the NFL.
But clearly their strategy of depending too heavily on their great passing attack hasn't worked. Sure, the Cardinals don't run well. But they don't win when they don't run.
The Patriots offense was similar back in 2003: they were one of the worst running teams in football, averaging just 3.4 yards per rush. In fact, it was the worst ground game of any Super Bowl champion.
But they often pounded the ball to maintain some semblance of balance and – even though they didn't have the receiving weapons the Cardinals have this year – they parlayed an ineffective ground game into a 17-2 record and, when needed, scored 32 points against the Panthers to win the greatest shoot-out in Super Bowl history.
Bottom line: the Patriots win this critical game Sunday if they strike quick and take an early lead, much like they did against the Raiders. If the pattern holds true, the Arizona coaching staff will panic – which it always seems to do – and abandon the run.
It's a recipe for defeat for the Cardinals this year, but a recipe they seem to whip up eagerly every other Sunday no matter how distasteful.
Catching Arizona at the right time
About three weeks ago this looked like a very bad match-up for the Patriots – the Arizona passing attack was firing on all cylinders, while the Patriots pass defense made even bad quarterbacks look good.
New England's defense still has more issues than Time magazine, but the Cardinals no longer look like a team to be feared.
Since beating the Cowboys back on Oct. 6, Arizona's four wins have come against NFC West lightweights St. Louis (twice), Seattle and San Francisco.
Over the same stretch, they've lost to the Panthers, Giants, Eagles and Vikings, each one a playoff-caliber team. In fact, they were embarrassed against the last two, falling to Philadelphia and Minnesota – teams on par with the Patriots – by a combined score of 83-35.
Overall, the Cardinals are 2-5 this year vs. Quality Opponents (teams with winning records), with both victories (Miami and Dallas) coming early in the season.
Boston Globe: a day late and a dollar short
The Boston Globe ran a screaming headline in an above-the-fold lead story on its sports page Tuesday, in which the broadsheet breathlessly declared the Patriots ground game the team's most productive in 25 years – two weeks after we told you the very same thing right here on WEEI.com.
And some people wonder why print journalism is in trouble.
Belichick's best coaching job?
Many observers – including Bill Belichick himself – consider New England's out-of-nowhere 2001 Super Bowl run the coach's best job in a Hall of Fame career.
He took a team thin in the talent department with zero star power, cobbled it together with unheralded free agents and an unknown QB, and somehow managed to win the first championship in franchise history just a year after it went 5-11.
The 2008 season might not be up in that stratosphere. After all, the team is clearly not as good as it was last year. But the 2008 campaign should merit some mention when Belichick steps into Canton sometime around 2020.
The pass defense is a disaster. The team has suffered more injuries than Evel Knievel. And the offense is led by a guy who had never started a college game, let alone a pro game. NFL teams simply do not win – ever – with a combination of inexperienced quarterback and Swiss cheese pass defense. In fact, if you find a team that has won against these odds, let me know.
Hell, the quarterbacking situation alone is enough to ruin most teams.
Yet the Patriots have a very good shot at an 11-5 record and an outside chance to win their sixth straight division title. The credit starts with the coaching staff.
If the team can only overcome its problems finding talent in the draft and in free agency, the Patriots could return to dominance again next year.
Expect a big day from Cassel
Matt Cassel has certainly proven himself a legitimate NFL passer, with the big-time numbers to prove it. In fact, if we're going solely by the numbers, he deserves a place in the Pro Bowl well ahead of old warhorse Brett Favre, who's probably the biggest Pro Bowl joke in years (though there's a long line of AFC quarterbacks who deserve the nod ahead of Favre).
Cassel tops Favre in most key categories, including passing yards (3,270 to 3,052), yards per attempt (6.9 to 6.8) and passer rating (87.1 to 86.5). Favre boasts more TD tosses (21 to 18), but he also leads the league (once again) with 17 INTs. Cassel has been picked off just 11 times – despite throwing the ball more often.
If the statistical match ups hold true, Cassel should certainly have a Pro Bowl-caliber day against Arizona.
After all, the Cardinals can stop anybody through the air. In fact, their pass defense is even worse than New England's widely criticized unit. Arizona has a dreadful Defensive Passer Rating of 98.4 – in other words, opposing passers this year have combined for a passer rating of 98.4 when playing the Cardinals.
Only the historically bad unit in Detroit (108.2 Defensive Passer Rating) is worse this year. The Cardinals have allowed a league-worst 31 TD passes, to just 11 picks. That's great news for Cassel on the heels of a week in which he threw a career-high four TDs against what had been a fairly respectable Raiders pass defense: Oakland had allowed just 15 touchdown tosses in their first 13 games before facing Cassel and the Patriots.
Arizona's pass defense is even worse than it appears when you look at the poor quarterbacks and poor passing teams on Arizona's schedule – every team in the NFC West, for example, has trouble passing the ball.
So expect a career day (again) from Cassel, at least if the weather cooperates.
Streaks and trends
(Data comes from NFL reports, ColdHardFootballFacts.com and ProFootballReference.com)
The Patriots have won 14 straight regular-season games against NFC opponents and four straight against the Cardinals.
New England's last loss to the Cardinals was when they played as the Phoenix Cardinals in 1991. New England's last loss to an NFC opponent was a 27-17 defeat in Carolina back in September 2005.
The Patriots have won 10 straight in December and are 22-2 (.917) in December dating back to 2003. New England's last December loss was a 21-0 defeat in Miami in 2006.
Richard Seymour leads the Patriots with 7.5 sacks. His career high is 8 sacks in a season (2003).
Following his score against the Raiders last week, Ellis Hobbs has now returned three kicks for TDs, tying Raymond Clayborn for the New England franchise record.
Randy Moss has caught 134 TDs in his career, third all time behind Terrell Owens (138) and Jerry Rice (197).
In terms of TDs per game, however, Moss is No. 1 in the Super Bowl Era and second only to Packers Hall of Famer Don Hutson in NFL history.
Moss averages 0.80 TDs per game (134 in 168 games). Owens averages 0.74 TDs per game (138 in 187 games) while Rice averaged just 0.65 TDs per game (197 in 303 games).
Old-timer Hutson averaged a record 0.85 TDs per game (99 in 116 games).

Sisterly love! Make-up free Alessandra Ambrosio still looks stunning as she takes a day off to help her sister move house
She's one of the most sought after models in the world, in addition to being a busy mother-of-two.
But Alessandra Ambrosio showed just how important family is to her on Thursday as she took some time to help her sister move house.
The 31-year-old Victoria's Secret Angel was seen hauling boxes with her sister Aline as they packed up her home in Los Angeles.
Moral support: Alessandra stands by while her sister, Aline, hoists one of her belongings into a waiting car outside of her Los Angeles home on Thursday
The ladies had some help from a team of movers as they put Aline's belongings into a large truck.
But they seemed to do just fine with the smaller items, stashing a few things into the back of a waiting car.
Alessandra is known to be close to
her younger sister and lives not far away with her fiance, Jamie Mazur,
and their two young children, Anja, four, and Noah, ten months.
The model has been enjoying a few days off in sunny L.A.
No fuss: The model tied her hair in a tight bun on top of her head and dressed down in sweats
Need a lift? Alessandra waited to give her sister a helping hand
Precious cargo: The ladies seemed to be loading in a black and white picture of Alessandra
On Wednesday she was seen roaming
around Santa Monica in leggings and Ugg boots, paired with a T-shirt and
zip-up jacket in a playful shade of teal.
Showing off her naturally flawless
skin by opting for minimal make-up, the mother-of-two wore her brunette
locks pinned back from her face, proving she's stunning as usual even
off the catwalk.
The stunning model has had an illustrious career with Victoria's, being selected as the first spokesmodel for the lingerie brand's PINK line and in 2005, walking the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway wearing lingerie made entirely out of candy.
Up we go: The ladies carefully loaded up the frame
She's got the keys: Alessandra prepared to get into the driver's seat while movers helped to haul things off in the background
In the 2008 edition of the show, she
strutted her stuff the catwalk three months after giving birth to Anja
and in 2012, she was chosen to wear the coveted 'Fantasy Bra'.
Even during pregnancy the model said it was important to watch what she ate to maintain her incredible figure.
She recently said: 'When you are
pregnant it's really important to eat a lot of nutrients. You think
because you're pregnant you can eat a whole pizza, but think about it,
pizza doesn't have nutrients.
'I would say just be more conscious with your body. If you have a little here or there that's fine, but just don't get too wild every day.'
Lightening the load: The model walked out of the Pacific Palisades home with a small frame

Epson EH-DM3 projector
For those who baulk at the idea of swapping their flatscreen TV for a projector, consider this - Epson's new EH-DM3 can project 300-inch images.
At this price that's remarkable, but its lengthy feature-count doesn't stop there. Strapped with 10W stereo speakers, the EH-DM3 packs in a DVD player and a USB input capable of playing MP3 and WMA music, JPEG photos and even DivX video files. It's marketed as both a jukebox and as a one-stop solution for gamers, though there are significant restrictions.
The EH-DM3 isn't HD-ready. With a resolution of just 960 x 540 pixels, it's some way off high-def. If you depend entirely on the front-loading DVD player, that's not an issue, though Epson does nod to the world of HD by offering a HDMI input that's capable of showing a Full HD feed from a Blu-ray player or games console. There's not an awful lot of point doing that because of the SD resolution, though Blu-ray discs do look a touch better than bog standard DVDs.
Though it's best considered as a Nintendo Wii add-on or a "my first projector", the EH-DM3 can easily form part of a dedicated DVD home cinema set-up. Possessing Component video and Composite video ins, it's also got a USB port on its rear for playing music, displaying pictures and showing DivX video files. And if you're not happy with the quality of the speakers - and for most movies, you probably won't be - there's a Coaxial output that can take Dolby Digital and DTS digital surround sound to a home cinema.
Tweaking the picture is also a cinch thanks to the EH-DM3's auto iris, which adjusts brightness according to ambient light. As with most projectors, there's an increase in noise the harder the lamp has to work.
Pictures are reasonably good considering the DVD source, though there's not a lot of contrast and we did notice some blurring. The low resolution 3LCD panel's pixel structure is visible - as we would expect in a 80-inch+ image - but there's enough detail on show for enjoyable DVDs and gaming. It's best to keep under the 100-inch size (which still means finding space to project onto a projector screen or white wall from about 3 metres), otherwise the DVD struggles to supply a watchable image.
Kudos goes to Epson for the EH-DM3's simplicity, though - a glow-in-the-dark remote is handy (especially considering how important it is that the EH-DM3 is used in the dark), as is a lens cover if you'd rather use it as a portable USB stereo. Notable by its absence is manual lens shift - this feature, which is found on all other Epson projectors, allows the user to move the image left, right, up and down without moving the unit. It's a shame it's missing here, though it would almost certainly mean a larger overall unit.
The EH-DM3 is packaged nicely, with a foldaway carry handle on one side, as well as a foam-lined bag.
It may lack ultimate star quality in its pictures, but this one-stop home cinema solution is a convenient and impressive way to get into projection. You'll have to forego your Blu-ray collection, but if you're happy with DVDs, CDs, MP3 and DivX movie playback, Epson's highly portable projector could be for you. We'd love to see a high-definition version, or even better, a similar model with Blu-ray built-in, but the concept behind the totally unique EH-DM3 is spot on.

Upcoming Conferences and Events
SBD/30/Leagues Governing Bodies
Published June 30, 1998
The NBA's "nuclear summer has begun" as Commissioner David Stern announced yesterday the league will lock out its players beginning midnight Tuesday, according to David Moore of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS. The recommendation of the league's nine-man labor relations committee was "unanimous" and the "only action" the owners needed to void the final three years of the current CBA. Moore writes the owners' decision "was driven by economics" and there are "strong indications this impasse is more complex and contentious" than previous disputes between the league and its union (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 6/30). Stern: "We can't afford to play the season under the current system. ... The final numbers aren't in, but for the first time, as a whole, we believe the league was actually unprofitable last season." Stern, asked if the lockout could threaten the start of the season: "Yes, that is fair and accurate. Unfortunately, there are a number of clubs that would do better not operating than actually operating. That's something the players don't yet understand." NBPA Exec Dir Billy Hunter said in a statement, "Unfortunately, the owners continue to demand unprecedented concessions. Until the owners abandon their posture of seeking one-sided concession bargaining and show some willingness to compromise, it is difficult to expect any progress" (Greg Logan, NEWSDAY, 6/30). In S.F., David Steele calls it a "mild surprise" that the league "did not even make a pretense of pushing negotiations" with the NBPA until the last moment, "announcing its intentions a good 32 hours before" the CBA was to expire. Stern: "We were in touch with the union. ... But we really had nothing to talk about" (David Steele, S.F. CHRONICLE, 6/30). WHAT IT MEANS: In N.Y., Mike Wise reports that while league business will effectively be stopped, previously- scheduled charity games "were spared." Players rehabilitating injuries will be forced to work out arrangements through the team to be treated privately (N.Y. TIMES, 6/30). In Boston, Peter May reports that teams will "forward a player's mail, and the league won't prevent players and management from co-mingling in social situations, such as weddings" (BOSTON GLOBE, 6/30). USA TODAY's Roscoe Nance: "For the average fan, the lockout won't have many visible effects" (USA TODAY, 6/30). NEXT MOVE: NBA Deputy Commissioner Russ Granik said the Larry Bird exception continues to be the sticking point in negotiations. Granik: "At our last meeting, the union said to us that unless the owners are prepared to maintain the Larry Bird exception they have nothing further to talk about" (AKRON BEACON JOURNAL, 6/30). Granik: "We tried not to focus on the Bird exception as such, but we need an agreement that is not open-ended. There may be one whereby we keep 'Bird,' or some elements of it" (DENVER POST, 6/30). In Chicago, Lacy Banks reports the owners want to replace the Bird exception with a new rule allowing high-profile, 10-year vets to be grandfathered into the exception. The NBPA's Hunter: "But that's only for this year. It's a one- shot deal." Granik has proposed that a player whose contract has expired will be able to re-sign for his old deal with a 5% increase. Teams will be allowed to go "over the cap" in signing players with the 5% increase (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 6/30). Yesterday, Stern mentioned three economic models the league would consider: Decide on a fair share for the players and write a check to the union to distribute as it wishes; agree on a specific percentage of the gross, and if salaries exceed that percentage, the owners would not be responsible; or a hard cap (NEWSDAY, 6/30). Hunter: "Their position is no hard cap, no deal. ... For lack of a better word, our only position on that is to go to war" (USA TODAY, 6/30). More Hunter: "They don't want the top player on any team to make more than $10 million a year. Nobody restricts how much money they can make. ... When they say, 'Take it or leave it,' we obviously left it ... and there may have to be some bloodletting" (WASHINGTON POST, 6/30). Granik said the possibility of bringing in a mediator is an option. The two sides are "not expected to meet" until after the union meets in Hawaii from July 6-12 (N.Y. TIMES, 6/30). ESPN's David Aldridge reported it "will be a couple of months before any serious negotiating gets done" ("SportsCenter," ESPN, 6/29). TV MONEY: NBA owners will receive their TV rights fee from Turner and NBC even if the regular-season games are canceled. The payments must be returned in the fourth and final season of the TV deal, "depending on the number of telecasts missed." Stern: "That money has to be repaid to the networks, so it's not like extra money given to teams. It was arranged so our teams would be in a position to survive the season without dire economic consequences in the short term" (Barry Jackson, MIAMI HERALD, 6/30). In Denver, Mike Monroe puts the rights fee for each team at $23M (DENVER POST, 6/30). NBPA counsel Jeffrey Kessler said, "What's really driving this [the lockout and CBA reopening] is that (the owners would) like to keep more of the TV deal than they kept under the old deal" (WASHINGTON POST, 6/30). In N.Y., former NBPA President Buck Williams tells Kevin Kernan that he believes CBS and Fox are contemplating a new league: "There's not a better time" (N.Y. POST, 6/30). HOW IT PLAYED: The lockout was the subject of front- page stories in USA Today, the N.Y. Post and the Houston Chronicle. ESPN's "SportsCenter" led its early and late editions last night with the owners' declaration.

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
About Lynne...
Lynne Eodice is an accomplished writer/photographer and a popular contributor to Photographic magazine.
This event began in 1972 when a man named Sid Cutter helped organize a balloon festival to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a local radio station. About a dozen hot-air balloons were launched from a parking lot in an Albuquerque shopping mall, and from these modest beginnings, the Fiesta has grown to become the world's largest annual ballooning festival. It's also one of the most-photographed events in the country.
Albuquerque is considered the premier city for hot-air ballooning because of its crystal-clear skies, perfect October climate and a phenomenon called the "Albuquerque Box." The Rio Grande Valley and the surrounding Sandia Mountains create this "box" which protects balloon ascents from strong winds while causing breezes to simultaneously blow in different directions at various altitudes--giving pilots a lot of control when flying their balloons. The 2005 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is being held from September 30--October 9 at Balloon Fiesta Park (see map), and over a thousand balloons from around the world are expected to participate.
What To Photograph
During the Fiesta there are numerous events you'll want to take in, including a display of classic cars and special interest vehicles, "After Glow" fireworks show, wine tasting, and much more. Here are some of the attractions you won't want to miss with your camera:
· Balloon Glow: This will give you the chance to shoot during "magic hour" lighting. Just before dusk, about 400--500 balloons are tethered and inflated. Burners are ignited and the brilliant colors of these balloons are striking against the dusky skies. In 1993, due to the popularity of this event, Fiesta officials added a second "Night Magic Glow." You'll want to use fast film (or the equivalent ISO setting on your digital camera) in the 400--1600 range when shooting in low light. A tripod or monopod will help ensure sharp images.
· Special Shape Mass Ascension: This is an opportunity to photograph themed balloons in a variety of unusual shapes, such as a piggy bank, motorcycle, polar bear, a string of chili peppers and even a replica of Noah's Ark.
· Mass Ascension: You'll probably never see anything more spectacular than this Fiesta event, when hundreds of colorful balloons take to the sky at once. If your lens accepts filters, a polarizer will give your blue skies extra punch.
A Few Photo Pointers
· Watch the background: Look for simple, uncluttered backgrounds. Avoid distracting elements and explore a variety of viewpoints from which to shoot. In most cases, shooting up at balloons with the blue sky in the background will provide the simplicity you need.
· Use side lighting: During the morning or afternoon hours, when the sun is low in the sky, the light will rake across your subject and create depth and texture. Colors will be more brilliant early and late than at midday.
· Bring several lenses or a zoom that covers a variety of focal lengths. Normal or wide angle lenses will allow you to encompass more of the sky when shooting the mass ascensions. A moderate telephoto will enable you to isolate details. Try zooming in on an interesting balloon and framing it with portions of other balloons rising around it.
These kinds of festivals usually display lots of culinary retreats, in order for the visitors to live the full experience. I could go for miles just for the Taylor soft serve machine. Those are my favorites every summer.

Introduction to Mike May and his inspirational speaking topics
LightHouse for the Blind- San Francisco
LightHouse Honorary Board member Mike May is President and CEO of Sendero Group. What happens when you gather forty-four jobseekers with twenty employment facilitators over a period of four days? You get depth, intensity, focus, support, and a big dose of the reality that a good jobseeker needs. The LightHouse Employment Summit took place in early September, in the natural setting of our beautiful Enchanted Hills Retreat in Napa, California. Away from the noise of urban/suburban life, the Summit encouraged jobseekers, all of whom are blind or visually impaired, to listen and to re-evaluate how they approached finding a job. Throughout, a common theme resonated: "If you want a different outcome, YOU need to get engaged and YOU need to do something different!" Though jobseeking classes happen everywhere, the LightHouse's aim in this demanding week was to build a strong motivation among the jobseekers, adding fire and team spirit to their quest for employment. The group heard from more than a dozen employed blind people, from attorneys to tech trainers, and everything in between. The sustained and positive week was some of the most demanding work many had done in recent time, beginning at 7:45 in the morning and sometimes not ending until early evening. One key part of the weekend was the individualized coaching that happened around and after the day's speakers, giving personal attention and direction to each jobseeker. The coaching continued for weeks after the end of the summit. Each participant found different aspects of the summit which spoke to them. Charles Jackson, for example, has been self-employed for the last five years, as an independent contingency sales and IT recruiter. He attended the Summit, "to expand my professional network,...get insight as to how others with vision disabilities are functioning in their work places and to learn what tools/search strategies they find to be most effective in the current constrained job market." Brian McCallen, who is looking for work in broadcasting, journalism, public relations, or descriptive video, attended "to learn the next steps in my job search and continue to network with broadcasting industry professionals..." Blind Role Models Covered A Range of Topics Our presenters, many of them blind, talked about issues that blind and visually impaired job-seekers face as they look for employment. These included how blind people get jobs (even in this economy); what employers are looking for when hiring and best ways to boost self-confidence and manage their work-life balance. The Summit also gave participants the opportunity to network both during the sessions and more informally after hours. Jobseekers "linked-in" in person: over a bus ride, a meal, a chance conversation at the breeze-way by the lake, or while roasting marshmallows around the campfire; some developed lasting bonds. One participant found "camaraderie amongst strangers, who are now my colleagues and friends. It was safe to share, support and laugh about the frustrating road to finding a job." For nearly half the group this was the first time they spent extended time around competent and self-confident blind people. The impact of this close and personal experience was, to some, at least as important as any scheduled speaker. Each participant left the Summit having taken a very personal journey. Insurance broker Ramona Herriford said, "I am self-employed so found the Summit to be very empowering. I left encouraged and focused on ways I can grow my business. Every speaker was very knowledgeable [about] their chosen topic...It was a real blessing to connect with other talented blind individuals. Everyone willingly shared their experiences, philosophies, strategies, and how to's. It was truly a Summit with people helping people." George Gaboury, a jobseeker who has a background in multimedia, said, "All the speakers and coaches were excellent. Joe Xavier & Mike Bullis' message to get involved and do what others won't do in the workplace and in volunteer work, struck me as a very powerful approach to blast through hiring & advancement prejudices. This approach inevitably generates valuable work experience and quality." If you are blind or visually impaired and are ready to start looking for work in a systematic way, the LightHouse would love to partner with you. Please contact Kate Williams at [email protected] or 415-694-7324 to learn more about our Employment Immersion program. If you have never worked or are transitioning from school or college and want some work experience to learn what else you need to get that next great job, please contact Debbie Bacon about our Blind Leaders program at [email protected] or 415-694-7357.

Ferri Lighting Design & Associates has designed and installed the lighting for the ESPN2 talk show "Olbermann," Keith Olbermann's return to television, at the Times Square Studio in New York City. The lighting design was headed up by FLDA's senior lighting designer Bruce Ferri.
FLDA has worked regularly for ESPN over the years, and recently concluded the 2013 U.S. Open telecasts for ESPN last month, which included a 100 percent outdoor LED lighting set. This year marked the fifth U.S. Open that FLDA has collaborated on with ESPN.
"The ESPN look is very familiar to us, and the talk show format needs to conform to this, as a complement to the talent, which in this case happens to be one of the more visible names in the industry," said Bruce Ferri, senior lighting designer for FLDA.

The Sleeping Beauty
Royal New Zealand Ballet and Vector Wellington Orchestra St James Theatre, until November 5.
REVIEW: The spirited new production of this major classic has opened to capacity audiences, a popular open day, healthy bookings for the coming week, and a sold-out schools performance.
Gary Harris' heroic architectural sets and attractive costumes are inspired by the Italian Renaissance, and the set changes to music are intriguing.
Jon Buswell's lighting lends enchantment to delicious qualities caught by the mercurial cluster of fairies of good, while the shady world of the Black Fairy (Clytie Campbell wielding sinister power) is in appropriate contrast.
Greg Horsman's staging honours tradition and he has coaxed fine performances from many soloists, with male dancers soaring (Jacob Chown and Brendan Bradshaw as the prince's friends are outstanding).
The choreographic pace is lightened by wittily mimed interludes and priceless comic business with cats (credit to Shannon Dawson, Lucy Balfour and the team at Weta Workshop).
Bluebirds (Tonia Looker and Kohei Iwamoto) shimmered like flutes.
Demands of technique and stamina make the role of Princess Aurora among the toughest in the classical canon. Guest dancer Stella Abrera was in truly elegant command throughout, yet a rapport with her prince, Sergio Torrado, despite his beautiful dancing, has not yet developed the emotional depth the story invites.
Abigail Boyle created such a poetic Lilac Fairy that the whole production seemed to revolve around her as the force for good.
(I clambered into the garden at midnight to fetch a branch of lilac as a reminder.)
Vector Wellington Orchestra's cohesive rich sound and beautiful solo passages illuminated the choreography, with the lively lovely dancers returning the compliment.
Nigel Gaynor is a fine ballet conductor, reading the dancers not the score, and their resulting musical phrasing of movement is deeply satisfying. Audience members humming Tchaikovsky melodies as they head home afterwards has to be a good sign.
Opening night was poignantly dedicated to Wellington-born Alexander Grant who claimed his most memorable performance ever was the Royal Ballet's Sleeping Beauty, New York, 1946.
They say Fonteyn danced "as though to confirm peace after the dreadful war" and the applause lasted longer than the ballet.
Royal New Zealand Ballet production values are high, as always. Meridian have been terrific sponsors. New artistic director Ethan Stiefel is most welcome here.
I suppose Wellington does know how lucky it is.

Teak, common name for a tall,
deciduous timber tree, of the verbena family. The tree, which attains a height
of about 30 m (about 100 ft), is native to India, Myanmar and the Malay
Archipelago and is cultivated in the Philippine Islands and Java.
The bluish to white flowers are arranged
in terminal panicles, or clusters. The fruit is a drupe.
Because of its durability and strength,
teakwood is used throughout the world as lumber in shipbuilding and the
construction of furniture; outdoor teak furniture or garden products. Teak has
been known to resist the attacks of insects and the corrosive effects of weather
for hundreds of years. Substitutes for teak, which have been under cultivation
because of the increasing demand, are loosely termed teaks. African teak, or
African oak, is a hardwood tree of the spurge family.
Scientific classification:
The teak tree belongs to the family Verbenaceae. It is classified as Tectona
grandis. The African teak, or African oak, is classified as Oldfieldia africana.
9/17/15 - The bench was delivered
promptly, was easy to assemble and, once oiled, displayed beautiful rich wood
grain. This is perfect for our family gatherings and for getting
"horizontal" in front of our outdoor fireplace. We couldn't be happier
with the bench. SL, FL. (R804)

This New App Is Like Google Street View For Inside Apartments
It's an old story: You step in to view a rental and discover that it's 100% not as advertised. What you thought was your dream home is actually a dingy, natural light-deficient space the size of a closet. You're back to square one. But, hopefully, for the last time.
Rental site Apartment List hopes to prevent any realty-related surprises with a free new app, Look, that shows you every corner, nook, and cranny of an apartment.
Now, potential tenants can take a 360-degree tour of a space before checking it out in person. It's not just the four walls, either -- users can view floors, ceilings, building exteriors, and community amenities. The goal is to cut down the number of places potential renters physically visit. Because, according to their stats, 20% of renters visit seven or more apartments before finding the one.
Currently, the app has 30,000 listings in New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Denver, and Chicago. And, while most of the spaces belong to larger building units (which makes sense since they're easier to shoot all at once), more privately owned spaces should be viewable within the next few months. Here's hoping more landlords jump on board the app with the aim of renting to some quality, tech-friendly tenants (like us).
