Students outside the USA
When you receive your I-20, contact the U.S. Embassy in your home country to make an appointment for an F-1Visa Interview right away. Do NOT make an appointment until you receive your I-20.

You should not sign up for your session until you have secured your travel plans to the University. Session space is limited, so please plan accordingly.

No, LOL. Actually I stated just the opposite of what I intended too. I meant to say:

I do agree though that top posting is silly. It makes no more sense than writing/reading
right to left. It's backwards plain and simple. If you wanted to read a book and had two
options: one that was wriiten top down and one that was written bottom up, which would you
To a point you made earlier, I also agree if the first reply is top posted, you may as well

Jada Pinkett Smith is using her Facebook page to make some candid confessions.
Just last week, as the actress turned 42, she hit the social networking site, where she shared some very personal admissions, including writing that she has "had many addictions."
"Yesterday I turned one year older, and I reflected on where I have been and where I am now," the actress posted on September 19. "What I learned about myself is this, when I was younger I was not a good problem solver, meaning I had a very difficult time with dealing with my problems in life.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Smokin' Hot Couples
"I had many addictions, of several kinds, to deal with my life issues," she added.
But the actress said that with age, came the kind of knowledge that has helped her grow into the type of person who can handle things the right way.

"But, today, at 42, I have my wisdom, my heart and my conscience as the only tools to overcome life's inevitable obstacles. I have become a good problem solver with those tools, and I am damn proud," She said.
In another post, on September 24, Jada shared her wisdom over why people stay with someone who treats them poorly.
"They stay because they don't believe they deserve to be treated better, and the moment one truly believes they deserve better... they do what it takes to change their circumstances which may even mean...leaving because being treated badly becomes... intolerable," she added.

It's easy to understand why Tommy Flanagan has been one of the most praised pianists over the '80s and '90s while listening to an excellent trio date such as this CD. With bassist Peter Washington and drummer Lewis Nash, he features a number of songs with oceanic themes, including a tantalizing "How Deep Is the Ocean?," "I Cover the Waterfront," and his own snappy title track. Flanagan also delivers a thunderous take of "Relaxin' at Camarillo" and the smoldering, savory blues "C.C. Rider."
This film chronicles the life and work of 2014's Man Booker Prize winner Richard Flanagan. The grandson of illiterates, a school drop-out, a river guide, builder's labourer, and a passionate campaigner for conservation, Flanagan journeys with Alan Yentob through his native Tasmania, visiting the places that have inspired his novels, and on to Thailand, to see first-hand the site of the Death Railway - the brutal setting of his award-winning novel, The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
Documentary about writer and performance artist Bob Flanagan who died at 43 of cystic fibrosis. His life was indicated by pain from the beginning and he started to develop sadomasochistic practices, which he developed finally into performances.

(CNSNews.com) – The nation's largest labor federation, the AFL-CIO, has updated one of its Web sites that details the salary and benefits of top executives from 946 American corporations. The site also features so-called case studies of the CEOs, as well as an interactive game called "Boot the CEO."
A leading critic of the AFL-CIO's tactics, however, said most of the CEOs on the list are likely being targeted because they work for companies whose employees are not unionized or who have chosen not to unionize.
The Web site, "2009 Executive PayWatch," lists executives by industry and by individual company, and provides tables for each chief executive's pay structure, showing how much he or she makes in relation to average hourly workers. The site takes its data from each company's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings through the end of March 2009.
Last year's PayWatch site profiled 3,000 CEOs from all sectors of the economy. The AFL-CIO hopes to reach that number again this year as it updates its executive pay database.
The "case studies" on the PayWatch site criticize the pay structures of 10 companies, including AIG and Bank of America, using more detailed figures to show what the AFL-CIO thinks are excessive pay structures.
The criticism is leveled at executives for earning more than hourly workers and the benefits they receive, as opposed to using market trends and data to analyze how and why executive pay structures take the form they do.
"Excessive executive compensation has taken center stage since the government bailout of banks that began in September 2008," states the Web site. "Americans have expressed outrage as CEOs and other executives responsible for the financial crisis have pocketed millions of dollars from bonuses and golden parachutes. CEO perks alone grew in 2008 to an average of $336,248 – or nine times the median salary of a full-time worker."
"Meanwhile, the economy tanked for working people while many companies were bailed out with more than $700 billion in taxpayer money, as well as low-interest loans and guarantees," states PayWatch.
The site also claims that viewers can "compare your pay to the CEOs, learn more about executives enjoying job and retirement security while fighting to keep workers from getting contracts, find out what you can do to put balance back into our economy …."
The primary criticism is that CEO pay schemes are not tied to performance. However, one of the case studies shows that a CEO of a large, bailed-out bank has been strongly "incentivized" to turn his struggling bank around.
The profile of Sun Trust Bank CEO James Wells details how shareholders approved a large stock option package days before President Obama signed legislation limiting firms' ability to do so. Under the stock option agreement, when Wells cashes the stock in, he will get the current market price for each share.
If Sun Trust's stock rises from its current value of around $9 per share, Wells would make a substantial sum of money from the 852,941 shares in the company he runs – a fact the AFL-CIO acknowledges on the PayWatch site.
"The stock option would reward Wells with millions of dollars," the study says, "if the company's stock price rebounds."
In addition to Wells, the nine other firms the AFL-CIO called the "worst of the worst" are:
-- AIG, whose current CEO was hired by the federal government for $1 per year.
-- Bank of America, which saved failing investment firm Morgan Stanley in exchange for increased federal aid.
-- Deere & Co, maker of John Deere tractors, which the AFL-CIO criticized for giving its CEO, Robert Layne, a retirement plan that was too secure.
-- FedEx, criticized because CEO Frederick Smith opposes unionization and card-check legislation but would receive a severance package if FedEx fails or is bought out.
-- Occidental Petroleum for paying $400,000 to prepare CEO Ray Irani's taxes, even though the company requires senior executives to have their taxes prepared by a professional.
-- The Shaw Group, a Louisiana-based construction firm, for providing CEO Robert Shaw's family with death benefits the AFL-CIO describes as "extraordinary," including life insurance and health benefits.
-- Toll Brothers Inc. which the AFL-CIO says gave CEO Robert Toll too much in stock options in the company he founded.
-- Tyson Foods, which the AFL-CIO criticized for offering former CEO Richard Bond an unknown amount of severance pay when he resigned Jan. 5 due to the company's poor performance. Since Tyson has not released the details of Bond's severance package, the AFL-CIO criticized severance packages in general in the study.
-- Wal-Mart, which the labor giant criticized because it paid for its executives to have yearly physical exams not covered by the company's health plan.
Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation, told CNSNews.com that one reason the AFL-CIO might highlight these firms is because most of them are active targets for union organizers.
"You know what they all have in common," Gleason said. "They're all union organizing targets. That's the criteria for what makes it excessive. What makes it excessive is that these are all companies whose employees have all rejected unions.
"If they were to do so [form unions], then all of a sudden they'd be model CEO of the year, great public citizen, [so] that's what that's about," said Gleason.
The union told CNSNews.com that the point of the site is to provide transparency into how executives are compensated and expose those which the labor group thinks have earned too much.
"We have done this since 1997 and the idea has been to shed light and transparency on the CEO and executive compensation," AFL-CIO spokeswoman Amaya Smith told CNSNews.com.
"We specifically looked at 10 corporations that we felt were guilty of the most excessive compensation practices that we had seen," she said. "We looked at what we thought were the worst of the worst."
Smith admitted, though, that the AFL-CIO had no litmus test to determine what exactly made one executive salary worse than another, saying that her union did not have a method for determining what constituted excessive pay. Smith added that not every company on the PayWatch list paid its executives too much.
"The idea of the site is not to say that all CEOs are guilty of being egregiously compensated," Smith said. "[But] I don't think anybody has a litmus test for what is excessive."

Carroll hails Hammers switch
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Roy Carroll has expressed his delight at moving to Upton Park.New West Ham signing Roy Carroll has expressed his delight at moving to Upton Park.
The Northern Ireland international completed his move to West Ham on Thursday after being released by Manchester United.
Carroll believes he has made the right choice in joining West Ham and is confident they can survive in The Premiership.
"I was impressed with the way West Ham played on such a big stage in the play-off final," said Carroll.
"But what really had an impact on me was seeing the celebrations outside Upton Park the next day.
"It highlighted the fantastic support for the club.
"At Manchester United I've been lucky enough to play on some very big stages and, hopefully, I can use that experience to help West Ham.
"Getting promoted from The Championship is very tough but, with their resources and support, I don't see why West Ham cannot survive. It's a challenge."

Product Search
If you've done a search on Amazon, you've used the
A9 Product Search engine.
Our work starts long before a customer types a query. We've been analyzing data, observing past traffic patterns, and indexing the text describing every product in our catalog before the customer has even decided to search. As soon as we see the first keystroke, we're ready with instant suggestions and a comprehensive set of search results.
Understanding the Customer
Great search can seem to customers like it is reading their minds. We start the search experience by giving customers suggestions on how to formulate their queries as soon as they start typing.
The better we understand the meaning of a query, the better we can help customers find the products they want. So we focus on the words and the intent behind those words. When a customer tells us they are looking for "Harry Potter in books", we distinguish in their query the title: "Harry Potter" from the category information: "in books".
Customers rely on us to find the right product based on context, even if a query is misspelled: if someone searches for Timbaland in Music, we return results for the rap musician; but the same search in Shoes will be corrected to return Timberland boots and jackets.
Results and Ranking
One of A9's tenets is that relevance is in the eye of the customer and we strive to get the best results for our users. Once we determine which items are good matches to the customer's query, our ranking algorithms score them to present the most relevant results to the user.
Our ranking algorithms automatically learn to combine multiple relevance features. Our catalog's structured data provides us with many such relevance features and we learn from past search patterns and adapt to what is important to our customers.
We strive for continuous improvement of our ranking algorithms. We continuously evaluate them using human judgments, programmatic analysis, key business metrics and performance metrics.
Search. At Scale.
We index millions of documents worldwide, and deploy them on highly scalable massive fleets of servers. We reflect millions of price and inventory changes in real time, and we return relevant results in milliseconds.
Our core Search Infrastructure team runs a critical service that is powerful, flexible and efficient. Since both query traffic and the size of our product catalog are always growing, we need to continually innovate to prevent exponential growth in the number of servers in our fleet. We ensure lightning fast experiences for customers, regardless of traffic patterns at a given time.
Our services are deployed internationally, powering Amazon sites and applications in America, Europe and Asia. We apply principles and solutions that cross boundaries: for locales where those principles don't enhance the customer experience, we adapt them to be effective in a given culture and language.

It took three votes, more than two hours of comments and debate, and one woman escorted from the room by a deputy, but Lancaster County Council ultimately voted against a rezoning request for McClancy Seasoning on Dec. 14.
The rezoning, which many thought was dead and buried following council's vote to deny it Nov. 9, was back up for discussion after Councilman Steve Harper made a motion Nov. 23 to reconsider the vote. Harper said he made the motion so he could amend the ordinance to allow for a B-3 commercial rezoning.
Deborah Long has decided her fourth term as House District 45 representative will be her last.
Long, a Republican who made history in 2008 as the first woman elected to the District 45 seat, announced Dec. 11 she will not run for reelection next year. She plans to serve the remaining year on her two-year term.
Lancaster City Council unanimously approved two contract amendments and five new contracts totaling almost $367,000 on Dec. 8, all with the engineering firm hired to assure compliance with the municipality's EPA consent order.
Lancaster City Administrator Flip Hutfles said five of the expenditures are directly tied to the August 2013 consent order issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency involving the city's wastewater-collection system.
A consent order is a negotiated agreement that obligates a party to make specific improvements.
After reviewing a plethora of school needs across Lancaster County, school district officials settled this week on $199 million as the amount of a proposed capital projects bond.
The largest items on the bond list are two new schools in Indian Land – a high school and an elementary – though the list also includes numerous projects for schools throughout the county.
Details about the projects, and a final bond amount to eventually present to voters, were revealed during a special Lancaster County school board meeting Dec. 8.
Despite a vote to deny an industrial rezoning for McClancy Seasoning last month, a procedural technicality will allow the issue to be heard once again during Lancaster County Council's Dec. 14 meeting.
The rezoning, which has drawn ire from hundreds of Panhandle residents during the last few months, was brought back to council's Nov. 23 meeting when Councilman Steve Harper asked for a motion to reconsider.
Lancaster Fire Department's rescue truck – Rescue 1 – is the most used apparatus in the fleet.
It not only answers emergency calls in the corporate city limits, but also provides mutual aid to the county in an area from Steele Hill to Heath Springs. In this year's first 11 months, Rescue 1 responded to 530 calls.
After a unanimous commitment from Lancaster City Council, there will be an upgraded Rescue 2 in the future to help reduce Rescue 1's workload.
A lack of competitive salaries is holding down staffing levels at the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office, and county officials are exploring ways to encourage employee recruitment and retention.
Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile said Dec. 4 he is facing a good news, bad news scenario when it comes to keeping his department fully staffed in the wake of the county's rapidly growing population.
When he was hired last month as Lancaster city manager, Flip Hutfles said one of his first goals was setting goals, and he is seeking feedback from city council, city employees and the public to do that very thing.
He sees a direct relationship between clear goals and the success of any organization, and that includes the day-to-day operation of municipal government.
"I believe it helps us move in the right direction," Hutfles said. "That way, I can stay on the same page."
The city of Lancaster has been awarded a $1.5 million grant to pay for about 75 percent of the much-needed sewer system upgrades in the West Arch Street area.
While it has not yet been determined where the remaining $465,000 to pay for the other 25 percent of the upgrades will come from, accepting the grant is a no-brainer, said Lancaster City Finance Director James Absher.
"We still aren't going to turn down $1.5 million," he said. "We'll get it from somewhere."
A rezoning request that may lead to some type of expansion at McClancy Seasoning is back on the table, or at least, talking about it is.
After voting 4-3 earlier this month to deny the rezoning request, on Nov. 23, members of Lancaster County Council passed two motions on the matter.

The University of Cincinnati did exactly what they were supposed to do in beating Austin Peay 72-10. They unleashed their potent offensive weaponry and made a statement worthy of an opening game on their schedule.
Now they head south on 75 to play in the reality of the SEC and Neyland Stadium, home of the Tennessee Volunteers and their 102,455 fans. To put that in perspective, you can literally put 3 NIppert Stadium crowds together in their stadium for one game. That means the noise level will be challenging for Zach Collaros and the offensive line this week; and I mean challenging. But isn't that why they come to a school like UC? Not only to play in a BCS conference but to play major competition. So we'll see who embraces the stage with the confidence and preparedness of a champion, and who becomes the deer in the headlights in part because they're not ready to play.
One thing that always happens in road games of this magnitude are turnovers. They usually hurt the road team more than the home team. If the Bearcats can keep the turnovers to a minimum, or even better, not at all and the coaches put together a good game plan they most certainly can win. UC has plenty of experience on this team and Peyton Manning won't be suiting up for the Vols.
The excitement will be evident; the media will be present; and the Volunteer football team will try to intimidate the Big East representative before the game begins. This weekend will be revealing for the UC coaching staff as they'll know when the clock runs out who is worthy of wearing the C-Paw and earning their confidence and trust for the remainder of the season.
I won't be surprised if UC wins, I think they have the capacity and talent to achieve. I am still waiting to get one key question answered and that's how they'll handle adversity compared to last year. Lets hope I don't get the answer this week because they will have put the game away down the stretch. But if I do get an answer I hope it's worthy of a champions response where everything is left on the field in battle. It's the only answer that will suffice; if every one can look each other in the eye and know they all gave the same effort in support of their teammates and UC.
That's the way I see it, sitting in The Box Seat

Youre Derek Dooley. Youre Tennessees football coach. What do you do?
You see your team come apart like a second hand suit in the fourth quarter of a 37-20 loss to rival Florida.
You see your highly touted quarterback suffer a mental meltdown. Tyler Bray sprayed the ball all over the field in the second half, but few of his passes wound up in the hands of the intended receiver.You caught Brays best pass of the second half, but you were standing well behind the sideline stripe. Nice catch, but you risked a celebration penalty when you spiked the ball. But, hey, it was all over but the booing by then.
West Wilson County residents now have a safe and local place to dispose of expired and unused medication.
Mt. Juliet Police Department installed Wilson Countys first public pharmaceutical disposal bin that is available in the front lobby of police headquarters. Residents can safely dispose of their unused medication at all hours. The bin was supplied by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Office of Sustainable Practices. This past week was the first week the drop bin was available for public use, and 47 pounds of waste has already been collected.We want to provide our community a safe, secure location where they can properly dispose of their prescription medications, said MJPD Chief Andy Garrett. Not only are there environmental concerns, we also dont want dangerous prescription drugs ending up in the hands of our children.

I've had difficulty ejecting a spent hull from my BPS while duck hunting. Where I hunt the water is salty with a lot of sediment and soil is a very fine dusty powder, so I know that my shells aren't as clean as they could be, but do try to keep them clean. It can be tough to pump them out sometimes, like the brass is hung up inside the chamber. Have any of you guys experienced this phenomenom and, if so, how did you treat the problem?
I do clean my gun after every hunt and pay special attention to cleaning out the chamber as well as possible.

Greetings from Chicago and the American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money for 2014 (59 years and now 60 conventions after attending my first ANA convention in 1955., I think of the many ways the hobby has changed over my years in numismatics, as well as in the over 120 years since the ANA was formed in 1891. But, there are also many things remain the same, including the mission of the association. I like to review old numismatic publications, and came across this portion of the "Message from the President of the A.N.A." written 100 years ago by Frank C. Duffield and printed in the January 1914 issue of The Numismatist. The younger set comes to the fore:

Borneo pygmy elephants, planters battle for land
By Niluksi Koswanage
SUKAU, Malaysia (Reuters Life!) - Deprived of access to his favorite food, a pygmy elephant trumpets furiously and charges at wildlife officials, a manifestation of this rare species' battle against Malaysia's key palm oil industry.
Some herds of pygmy elephants, an endangered species according to conservation body the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), are thriving on the fruit of palm oil plantations that encroach on their domains on Borneo island.
This has intensified the challenges to a mainstay of the economy in this South East Asian country of 27 million people, and the aggression the elephants show against humans.
"He's angry because they have been chased away from a plantation. They want to eat more oil palm hearts," said Sabah wildlife department official Hussien Muin who has tracked elephants for nearly 11 years.
"It is one of the biggest herds in this area now, 30 to 40 of them," Hussein said of the herd on this part of the Kinabatangan River floodplain where he estimates that elephant numbers have risen 50 percent in the past six years to 230.
The Kinabatangan River, the largest in northeast Sabah state, opens out into a floodplain, which totals 4,000 square kilometers (km) (1,544 square miles), an area around seven times the size of New York City.
The WWF estimates Sabah is home to 1,500 pygmy elephants, who were once seen as the descendents of a private zoo kept by the Sultan of Sulu but are now viewed as a subspecies of larger Asian elephants.
Male pygmy elephants grow as tall as 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), half a meter shorter than Asian elephants. They have babyish faces, larger ears and are tubbier and less aggressive than their cousins. Continued...

The LG Remote Call services have been available in Korea since May of this year and have actually received plenty of positive feedback from those who tried them out. By using the Remote Call app, which currently comes preinstalled on select smartphones from the Optimus lineup, users can call an LG representative and get help with resolving a software issue, get assistance with updating their handset's firmware, or simply ask a what-does-that-button-do kind of question. Only the LG Optimus 2X, Optimus Black and Optimus 3D can take advantage of the service at this time, yet other devices are expected to follow suit eventually.
What is required for the LG Remote Call service to work, however, is for the smartphone that is acting up to be connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi or 3G. The requirement is imposed so that the company representative can access the device remotely and diagnose the issue effectively. Nevertheless, there is no need for you to worry about anyone taking a peek at your private data as it will not be accessible by the LG assistant, unless you manually give them access to it, that is, should the circumstances require you to do so.
The LG Remote Call services will be made available worldwide by the end of 2011 with countries across Europe, the Asia Pacific region, South and Central America to be the next to get access to it.

If you have ever thought about reloading some Tungsten alloy shot loads, there may not ever be a less expensive time to do it than right now.
If you want some good Tungsten alloy loads but don't want to pay $4.00 to $5.00 per shell you can reload some HW13 shot for much less than most of the factory Tungsten alloy loads are going for right now.
Right now you can get 10 lbs HW13 shot from Bucks Run for right at $225.00 shipped to your door. That comes out to $1.40 per ounce.
I know if you look hard enough you can buy some Tungsten alloy loads cheaper than most of the places are charging now but it is getting harder and harder to buy Tungsten alloy loads at a decent price.
Below are the prices per shell that some of the Hevi-Shot loads are going for. To the right of those prices will be the price of just the same weight of HW13 shot.
1-3/4 oz Hevi-Shot load $5.00 per shell----- HW13 1-3/4 oz of shot $2.45 per shell.
1-1/2 oz Hevi-Shot load $4.70 per shell----- HW13 1-1/2 oz of shot $2.10 per shell
1-3/8 oz Hevi-Shot load $4.50 per shell----- HW13 1-3/8 oz of shot $1.92 per shell
1-1/4 oz Hev-Shot load $4.00 per shell----- HW13 1-1/4 oz of shot $1.75 per shell
I know you will still have to pay for wads, primers, powder and maybe hulls but the savings over the factory loads is a huge savings. Plus you can reload loads that are not available in factory loads for many different gauges.
Tungsten alloy loads are not needed for everybody but if you ever think you may want some or want to reload some, there may never be a better time than right now to do it.

No one is yet saying they feel a telltale nip in the air, but there's one sure sign autumn is approaching: High school football, soccer and volleyball players are back in the game.
For The Salt Lake Tribune, their return has triggered coverage that offers depth and insight to readers who follow the agony and the ecstasy that defines competition and accomplishment for these young athletes.
We begin the season with a number of improvements to tribpreps.com, the website that showcases the work of our reporters and photographers but also captures detail about each school, sport and game.
Most of the changes boost the site's functionality, according to developer Antonio Ramirez.
The GameTracker, for example, now has a bigger presence on the tribpreps.com homepage and enables users to search by sport and date.
Schedule and standings pages allow users to search by classification, and game pages now include standings for each team within their regions along with their schedules.
Schools have finalized their rosters, and once they've all been entered, they'll appear on team pages, too, Ramirez says.
"The changes make the site more aesthetically pleasing and easier to use," says Kyle Goon, The Tribune's lead high school sports writer, who along with fellow staffers and intern Jack Wang, began lead-up coverage in earnest in July by introducing two football teams each day on the Overtime blog, www.sltrib.com/Blogs/preps.
Those introductions are in addition to numerous athlete features appearing in The Tribune's five Close-Up neighborhood editions during the past several weeks plus several larger enterprise stories appearing in the Sports section, including this past Wednesday's preview coverage featuring Jordan High School's phenom sophomore quarterback Austin Kafentzis and offering class-by-class analysis of the teams.
On Aug. 30, a new editor joins our staff to oversee and continue to improve our high school sports coverage working with sports editor Joe Baird.
Kevin Winters Morriss has been appointed assistant sports editor to replace Danyelle White, who left The Tribune earlier this summer.
Winters Morriss has been sports editor at the Southeast Missourian in Cape Girardeau, Mo. He also worked in sports at Gannett Central Wisconsin Newspapers and the Wasau (Wis.) Daily Herald.
"The Tribune's track record of providing insightful coverage that isn't reliant on game stories drew me to the position," Winters Morriss says. "I wanted to join a team that explains the issues involved in high school athletics and isn't afraid to tackle big projects that offer a better understanding of what's happening with athletes around the state."
We're pleased to have him join our team.
And along with all the athletes, we think it's great to be back in the game.
Lisa Carricaburu is managing editor. Reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter: @lcarricaburu.

Art NEWS
Location: Royal Albert Hall, London
Isabelle was born in London in 1986. As a former burlesque dancer, she has always had an interest in 1950s pin-up culture and on a more theoretical level, the commodification and fetishisation of the female body throughout history.
One spring evening last year as she was walking home, she saw an advert for an opera about the life of the late glamour girl and actress Anna Nicole Smith. The poster featured a busty blonde opera singer with a low cut top with her round breasts at the centre of attention. But when did the ideal shape of breasts in popular culture change from the conical bullet bra ideal to the padded rounds of today's t-shirt bras? This question was to form the basis of her History of Design masters thesis.
Can you tell us a bit about the work you chose to include in the final show?
As I studied a Humanities subject, the final piece I produced was a 30,000 word thesis, which is hardly suited to display in the RCA degree show. Instead, I chose to present a selection of the original primary sources I was working with, which I found had an engaging visual impact. The objects included a rare book by self-appointed US 'beauty parlor surgeon' Robert Franklyn titled 'On Developing Bosom Beauty', published in the 1960s and including original before and after photos.
Franklyn's book was a key primary source for my dissertation 'Bullet Bras and Bombshells – The shaping of a conical design for bras and breasts in the USA 1930s–1960s' .
There are numerous links between the 'bullet bra', weaponry, the military and the conical busty ideal that became known as 'bombshell'. 'Bullet Bras and Bombshells' explores this complex relationship between military-driven changes in technology and the presentation and perception of the female body in the USA.
Why did you decide to study at the RCA?
Having come from a practical background in video and illustration work in my undergraduate degree, I wanted to pursue my academic interests in design and fashion history on a postgraduate level. I interned in the Contemporary and Fashion departments at the Victoria and Albert Museum during my undergraduate studies and heard about the History of Design course which is run in collaboration between the museum and the RCA and thought it would be an ideal choice.
What is your most memorable experience at the RCA?
I have so many memorable experiences at the RCA. Graduating at the Royal Albert Hall with my family, friends and GoSee there felt very magical. Another highly memorable experience was being selected for the Bard Graduate Center exchange in New York City which provided me with four months accommodation in my second year and enabled me to carry out the US-based research for my thesis 'Bullet Bras and Bombshells – The shaping of a conical design for bras and breasts in the USA 1930s–1960s'. It was the first time I had ever left Europe and it was an absolutely life-changing experience.
How did you celebrate finishing the degree?
I was so exhausted after handing in my 30,000 word dissertation! I went home and had a good sleep and then I was up working again the next day. I celebrated a little later on after graduation though.
How do you feel now that you have completed the degree?
I am relieved to have finished the degree. It was a challenging and exhausting two years but worth every minute of it. Even though I am glad to have finished, I have to admit that I sometimes get the occasional pangs of nostalgia for such a highly inspirational time.
And now for that dreaded question… what are your hopes and plans for the future?
At some point in the future I would ideally like to run my own small film production company as a collective with friends. We would like to make short documentaries about design history related subjects, going out to talk to eyewitnesses and recording their oral histories. We want to link spoken histories with visual material. I would really love to combine my practical skills in film and video editing with my academic interests in social design history.
What is your favourite place in London? Anywhere you find particularly inspiring?
Wow. I find London such an inspiring place. There are too many places to list here.
One of the first places that will always spring to mind though is the Deptford Waste Market in South East London. It really is a London treasure. A lot of junk to sift through but you can come out the other side with some of the most amazing finds. My illustration tutor in my undergraduate degree, Chris Ratcliffe always said that you can even find urns filled with human ash on the market, which could make for a macabre illustration project.
One of the strangest things I ever spotted there was an original 1960s plug-in vibrator, which I was really intrigued by, but too freaked out to take home with me as I would never have wanted to touch it.
Deptford market is open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. There are great organic cafes and Jamaican patty shops dotted along Deptford High Street to serve all your refreshment needs. For Deptford Market get the Overground to New Cross and walk or a train to Deptford station.

What's the most efficient, ethical, and sustainable way to remake public spaces? If you're in Nariobi, Kenya this May 3-4th, you'll have the opportunity to answer that question by attending the "Making Cities Together - The City We Need through Safe, Inclusive and Accessible Public Spaces" conference as put on by The Urban Thinkers Campus in collaboration with Project for Public Spaces, UN-Habitat and Placemakers, KUWA - Urban Spaces by People, and Architects Without Borders. Keynote speakers include PK Das, Bulelwa Makalima-Ngewana and Michelle Provoost. Here are the full details, courtesy of the original press release:

The Urban Thinkers Campus (UTC) model is an initiative of UN-Habitat's World Urban Campaign, conceived in 2014 as an open space for critical exchange, promoting sustainable urbanization across the globe.

Kenya has vowed to close the world's biggest refugee camp within a year and send hundreds of thousands of Somalis back to their war-torn homeland or on to other countries, a plan decried by aid and human rights groups as dangerous, illegal and impractical. Kenya says it needs to close the sprawling Dadaab camp, home to 330,000 mostly Somali refugees, to protect the country's security after a string of terror attacks by al-Shabaab.

With most of Europe and the Middle East grappling with an unprecedented refugee crisis, it's easy to lose sight of the millions of other displaced peoples around the world. But the largest population of refugees isn't in Germany, Sweden, or France.

Rather, with a population of 329,811 refugees, primarily Somali, the refugee camp complex in Dadaab, Kenya is the largest in the world. Now, the Kenyan government is moving to shut it down.

 http://archinect.com/news/article/149941431/experimenting-with-a-universal-basic-income-in-nairobi Experimenting with a universal basic income in Nairobi Nicholas Korody 2016-04-19T14:56:00-04:00 >2016-05-04T22:58:07-04:00
In the old days of policymaking by aphorism—give a man a fish, feed him for a day!—simply handing money to the poor was considered an obviously bad idea. How naïve—you can't just give people money. They'll stop trying! They'll just get drunk! The underlying assumption was that the poor weren't good at making decisions for themselves: Experts had to make the decisions for them. As it turns out, that assumption was wrong.

"[...] GiveDirectly, has decided to try to permanently end extreme poverty across dozens of villages and thousands of people in Kenya by guaranteeing them an ongoing income high enough to meet their basic needs—a universal basic income, or basic income guarantee."

[Update: according to GiveDirectly, while their pilot project will likely be in East Africa, near their current projects, it will not be in Nairobi.]

Several African countries gained hard-fought independence from their colonizers during the 1950s and 1960s, and one way the countries expressed their new national identities was through architecture. The book African Modernism delves into this relationship between architecture and the complexities of nation building, particularly in Ghana, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, and Zambia.

Edited by architect Manuel Herz and published to accompany the Vitra Design Museum's "Architecture of Independence" exhibition, the hefty 640-page book features 103 buildings with brief description texts, images, site plans, floor plans, and sections, as well as significant photo contributions from Iwan Baan and Alexia Webster — who each documented the buildings in their current state. The book also features essays that focus on different aspects and topics regarding post-colonial Africa, which are illustrated with images and documents.

For his master's architecture thesis, Geoff Piper proposed reorganizing a Kenyan village with an estimated 70% HIV infection rate so that instead of being isolated in their post-colonial individual land plots, people would regularly cross paths. "There was a funeral every few days," Piper explains, "because for people living in these separate plots, it wasn't easy to grasp the extent of the [HIV] problem." By reorganizing the village to create more frequent public meetings, Piper hoped to raise awareness and stop the spread of the disease. A little over a decade later, Piper is now one of the six principal members of The Global Studio, a collaborative design-build organization that teams with non-profits to master plan settlements around the world. The Global Studio's expertise isn't just technical: it's the rare and difficult art of working successfully with people, whether it's the particular culture of non-profits, tenant farmers, or savvy village teens.

Hot young Spanish architects José Selgas and Lucía Cano of SelgasCano have designed a pop-up exhibition pavilion for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's latest exhibition, Africa: Architecture, Culture, Identity. Made of low-cost materials, such as scaffold poles and plastic sheets, which the architects have jazzed up inspired by traditional sub-Saharan settlements, the pavilion is due to travel to Kenya. The show in leafy Humlebaek near Copenhagen closes at the end of September.

SelgasCano's airy, bright and colorful pavilions are a sought-after commodity this summer: less than a month ago, the practice unveiled its completed design for the 2015 Serpentine Pavilion in London.

Anyone run into problems with it. My system will not power on consistantly, however if I remove my power good chip and apply voltage, then turn the MB on it comes up every time. I'm thinking that maybe since this power good is only off the 5v line that my 3.3v or 12v are taking longer to come up (most likely the 3.3v because i get the base memory failure beep code sometimes, modern dimms run on the 3.3v bus). I'm thinking maybe a longer delay, or find a curcuit that monitors all three rails. Luckily my ISR's can provide power with the standy left disconnected so I can just pull the chip out of the socket. Suggestions anyone.

Canon has been running an annual themed photography competition in Australia and New Zealand for the last couple of years called Photo5. It's good fun, and gives you the challenge to stretch your photography in a direction you wouldn't normally go.
I've entered that comp for the last 2 years. I've imagined that my photos are good enough to run away with a 5D MkII and a photography trip, but alas, nothing has come of it. My imagination is better than my photography!
But I'm glad that Dreamstime isn't run by Canon, and that the Canon judges are not Dreamstime reviewers. The judges selection of finalists is, in my opinion, pretty bad. There were many fantastic entries in the competition - but there weren't many fantastic entries among the finalists. Sorry, but the average DT photo is better than many of the finalist photos.
Or has my appreciation of art been ruined by microstock tendencies? You tell me.
Not only that, but the competition website is slow, there's no zoom capability, and the search feature always breaks. Give me Dreamstime any day. And this year, in the open brief 'through a pet's eyes', there were about a million snapshots of dogs and cats. ick.
Still, I had a lot of fun creating my entries, and I'll probably enter again next year. But I won't expect to win, except by chance. Anyway, I should get some financial return - I've modified a couple I entered in the comp and they're on sale here now.

As we age the ability of our bodies to perform certain actions deteriorates, affecting people in terms of their physical and mental capabilities. However, one area in which many people do not immediately consider there to be a negative impact is the bedroom – even though getting in and out of bed, finding a comfortable position and being secure in bed can make this previously restful environment a battleground.
If you live in a senior housing community or if you are a caregiver, the bedroom is an area in which you need to ensure high levels of comfort and safety. Thankfully, there is a range of adjustable beds and accessories for nursing homes, the elderly and disabled. The following are just a taster of the options available and give a brief outline of how they can benefit you.
Adjustable beds
The majority of seniors lack the ability to find a comfortable position when lying or sitting in bed, or they may find it difficult to switch between these two positions. With an adjustable bed the action of moving between sitting and lying positions can be achieved easily by the push of a button. This practical solution is safe and simple to use, providing peace of mind that your loved one will be cared for appropriately.
Bed side rails
Getting in and out of bed may have been difficult even when you were younger if you were not much of an early bird, but this seemingly simple act can become even more difficult if your muscular strength has decreased due to aging. For this, there is the option of bed side rails that provide a secure means of getting in and out of bed. This piece of equipment is vital in nursing homes for many elderly people as it leaves users safe in the knowledge that they will be secure during a night's sleep.
Overbed trays and tables
We all like to read a good book before going to sleep and reading the morning papers, but this can prove difficult and uncomfortable for senior people. Thankfully, overbed trays and tables provide a simple solution to this problem, by giving elderly people the chance to read, write and eat when they are in bed. Models are also adjustable and can be fitted around your needs.
Back rests
This is a relatively cheap means of settling into a sitting or lying position, being that the back rests are adjustable, simple to use and available at a reasonable price. This provides optimum levels of comfort for the user, and the majority of models can be folded away for storage needs.
Pillows and cushions
There is a range of pillows and cushions available to fit the needs of senior people in nursing homes or private residences. These include leg cushions for maintaining a relaxed posture, orthopedic pillows for supporting the head and neck, and prop-up bed wedges which allow you to prop up in bed with ease.
The range of beds and bedrooms accessories for the elderly and disabled does not end there, as there are several other mobility aids intended to improve comfort and accessibility in the bedroom. The important thing is to make sure that the aids chosen are specific to the elderly person's needs and requirements.
This is a guest post by Carol Robinson from Manage at Home where you can learn more about a range of mobility aids and disability aids for inside and outside the home.

Forbes report that Apple is filing some patents that will enable innovative applications, such as ordering a Starbucks coffee from a mobile phone to bypass the customer line. Some months ago, Apple and Starbucks launched a Wifi Music Store, so that iPhone users could press a button when at Starbucks and download a song to enjoy their latte.
Starbucks in iPhone keynote, in January 2007
While these might not be killing apps – you need to queue anyway to collect your coffee-, it shows that Apple does not need the Wireless Operator to bring new apps over their networks. Apple only counts on Operators as mere IP pipes.
All this is transparent to us consumers, and even beneficial as the variety of mobile applications increases. Nonetheless it is a major threat for Wireless Operators as they lose control and revenue from Data Services.
Do not forget that the latest entrant in mobile phones, Google, is offering 10 m$ prize for 3rd-party developers that bring best apps on Android.

5 Ways for Hospitals to Become Better Employers
Becker's Hospital Review
Oct 31, 2013
Healthcare has become an extremely competitive industry, with hospitals and health systems striving not only to attract patients, but to attract and retain employees and physicians as well. Being seen as a "good" employer will allow organizations to not only attract top talent, but to keep them engaged and retain them for the long haul as well. Timothy Vogus, associate professor of management, is quoted.
