The Invisible Curriculum
As an undergraduate, I had a survey course in American literature with an affable professor who was also a movie buff. He would frequently mention film versions of the books we were reading, or would compare themes in works we read to films that were current at that time. That may not seem all that unusual now, but keep in mind, this was the late 1980s, not too long after the arrival of the VCR player, and long before the advent of DVR and instant movies on your computer.
During one of his discussions about a movie, he paused and threw out a bit of marital advice to the class: "If you want to have a long and healthy marriage," he said, "watch at least one movie a week with your spouse."
As much as I enjoyed his course, and felt that I had learned a lot about American literature, that comment is the only specific thing I remember hearing in his classroom. It sounded like good advice to me at the time, although I haven't followed it religiously. In any case, the rest of the course may have offered revolutionary new readings of canonical texts, or it may have been a mishmash of stale lecture notes culled from his dissertation, I honestly don't remember.
I'm sure that most faculty members can point to a moment like that in the classroom, if not from their days as students, then certainly from their time as professors. You are cruising along, lecturing or moderating a discussion about your area of expertise, and suddenly some bit of wisdom or life lesson pops into your head. You feel the urge to share it, and so you do.
A friend who is a high-school teacher refers to those moments as manifestations of the "invisible curriculum"—spontaneous instances when we move away from the stated learning objective (the "visible" curriculum) and respond on our feet, offering unplanned lessons on life or education.
Those moments are memorable precisely because they give students a glimpse of us as people—as opposed to professional educators. The sad irony for us, as teachers, is that one lesson in the invisible curriculum can sometimes make more of an impression than the entire visible one.
The invisible curriculum has been on my mind lately, after I received and read a copy of a new book from Harvard University Press: David Perlmutter's Promotion and Tenure Confidential, a sharp advice book based on columns he wrote for The Chronicle. It's aimed at helping graduate students and new faculty members successfully navigate the complex set of challenges they will face as they attempt to chart a course toward tenure.
My interest in the book, for the purposes of this column, led me to focus on the chapter called "Student Relations," which is where Perlmutter discusses strategies that new faculty members can use both to teach well and to document that they are teaching well. His advice, as elsewhere in the book, notes the importance of both elements: You should do your job well, but you should make equally sure that doing your job well can be documented and demonstrated to your promotion-and-tenure committee.
The chapter on working with students covers a wide range of topics, from classroom teaching and supervising teaching assistants to writing letters of recommendation. It ends with a longer section that focuses on grading papers and conducting office hours, both of which strike me as spaces in which the invisible curriculum frequently comes to the fore. In both activities we are responding to our students' work or concerns, rather than presenting them with an organized lesson, and so we're more likely to speak to them outside of the stated curriculum.
But Perlmutter categorizes those tasks in a different way. He describes them as oft-neglected opportunities to show students that you care about them. The emphasis on "showing" that you care—as opposed to actually caring—may strike skeptics as a cynical way to think about student relations. But Perlmutter doesn't hesitate to point out that you won't have a very satisfactory academic life unless you really care about your teaching, and do it well. He opens the by describing his own experience, early on as an assistant professor, when he viewed students as obstacles to his research, and his subsequent realization that he had to find a better balance between teaching and research.
I don't know Perlmutter, so I wrote to ask if he could elaborate on the balance he found and also explain why the book puts such emphasis on responding to student papers and holding office hours.
True to the spirit of his book, Perlmutter responded to the latter question by noting both an educational reason and a professional one. Our written responses to student papers and our conversations with students during office hours, he said, are "often missed opportunities for teaching and learning." Those "two venues," he added, are ones that he's found "probationary faculty know least how to use effectively" to show that they care about students.
He explained: "I can't tell you how many times I've seen or heard a junior faculty member radiate unconcern, irritation, and outright standoffishness through, for example, cutting their own office hours, looking harassed if students intrude during that time, leaving the door open only a crack with the lights dim, and other assorted anti-student manners and actions."
Such actions, as well as giving a hurried or minimal response to student work, may teach students a lesson from your invisible curriculum that you may not intend to send. It will certainly put obstacles in the way of a smooth career path for you if you view students as "extras in the screenplay of your exciting research career or, worse, irritants in the way of your real job or social life."
On office hours, Perlmutter argues in the book that "academics should be evangelistic for face-to-face contact with students outside of lectures." His specific advice might horrify faculty members who see office hours as an opportunity for writing or class preparation: "For all classes, you should find a way to assign or entice each student to see you at least once per term." (He issues the obvious caveat that this may be impossible for large lecture courses.)
He confesses that working with students during office hours may be his favorite form of teaching. "I've often thought," he writes, "that the office hour is where the modern higher-education instructor best approximates what it must have been like for Plato and Socrates to philosophize with their students in the first olive groves of academia."
His advice on the subject of office hours is sensible, and focuses mostly on how to make yourself both physically and mentally available to students during designated contact times: how and when to schedule your hours, how to organize the space in your office, and what kinds of office-hour activities will enable you to be productive without chafing at "interruptions" from students.
On responding to student papers, Perlmutter also takes a bit of an evangelistic tone in the book, pointing out what a rare opportunity it presents for students today. "Once upon a time," he writes, "if you submitted a novel to an agent, or a story to a magazine, you would get back some detailed comments, even in the case of rejection. These days, the form letter or e-mail is ubiquitous. Higher education is the last place you can get a credentialed expert who cares about you and your work to respond to you regularly and reliably. Students should (Perlmutter's emphasis) treasure such an opportunity."
A helpful list of suggestions on how to respond to papers follows, one of which struck me as particularly insightful: "Tie in comments to points made in class. Students often don't see links between reading, class lectures, and discussions, and the term paper."
I am frequently surprised and disturbed to see papers that seem to have taken no account of the writing strategies we reviewed in class, and Perlmutter's advice here reminds me that I need to be more explicit about helping students make connections between classroom time and their work outside the class.
Perlmutter also writes about the process of handing papers back to students in class, and offers helpful suggestions there as well, so I asked him to tell me about the process he uses when he hands back papers in his own courses.
"I pretty much now have only one comment on papers," he explained. "'See me.' They do not get a grade unless they see me and I sit there and go through the paper and explain my reaction to it. That way, at least I'm sure they know what I think, and I think I know what they were thinking."
I confess that upon reading that, I found myself daunted by Perlmutter's intense commitment to working with students individually. But he argued that the payoffs make it worth his time. "No matter what teaching situation you're in," he wrote to me, "you will never truly be happy, or even satisfied, if students are just ranks and files of faces under baseball caps. You'll never discover that one student a semester who uplifts your spirit because you inspired her or him."
For Perlmutter, searching for that spirit-lifting moment in your teaching now and then is not merely a selfish pursuit, one that will leave you happy and fulfilled—although it should, and that may be reason enough. But it has practical effects as well. "You will not be a good teacher," he writes in the book, "if you don't enjoy being a good teacher."
And you are more likely to be a good teacher, I would add, if you enjoy teaching. For some of us, that enjoyment may come from a well-delivered lecture or a stimulating class discussion, as well as from our contact with students in one-on-one meetings. But for all of us, Perlmutter's book suggests we should not hesitate to demonstrate to students our pleasure and satisfaction at working with them.
Doing so may help convey perhaps the most important lesson we can offer from our invisible curriculum: that our students' education matters to us, that we want to see them succeed, and that we are happy to help.

Since WSNs suffer from sever resource constraints, in terms of energy, memory and processing, temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal correlation among sensor data can be exploited by adaptive sampling approaches to find out an optimal sampling strategy, which reduces the number of sampling nodes and/or sampling rates while maintaining high data quality. In this paper, a quality aware decentralized adaptive sampling strategy is proposed which benefit from the data correlation for predicting future samples. In this algorithm, sensor nodes adjust their sampling rates, based on environmental conditions and user defined data range. Simulation results show that proposed approach provides 90 percentage event detection accuracy level while consumes lesser energy rather than existing adaptive sampling approach.

Chapter 6
"What the hell did you do that for?" Jacob yelled.
For a minute, Isabella just stared at him. He was the same, but so very different. His black hair was still the color of night, but it was shorn into a buzz cut. There was a new paunch sticking out from the old Budweiser t-shirt he'd gotten free in the mail when they were young. His eyes were still the familiar color of bark, but they were harder. This wasn't the boy she gave her heart to long ago.
"Go back to Forks, Jacob. You don't need to be here," Isabella stated coldly. "How far do I need to travel to get away from all of you? Timbuktu?"
Jacob's eyes narrowed, "You shouldn't have left in the first place like a chicken-shit, Bells. Things didn't work out between us, but you have a nephew now. We're your family whether you like it or not, so stop whoring around with this . . ."
Her blood began to boil as the words came out of Jacob's mouth. The heat of the summer air was nothing compared to her anger. A whore? She was finally in a real loving relationship and she was the whore? Isabella wanted to punch him in his nose so, with a livid expression, she made a fist.
She darted toward him, but Edward grabbed Isabella's waist as she tried to pummel Jacob. "Darlin', calm down now! No need to get Sheriff Jones over here. I'd love ta see ya beat 'im to a pulp, but I'd like you to be at home tonight and not in the county jail."
As the carnival-goers around them stopped and gawked, Isabella still struggled like a wildcat to get loose from Edward's embrace. She wanted Jacob's blood on the grass, Leah's head on a stake, Sue to burst into flames and her father to . . .
Charlie tried to get close to her, as Edward pulled her back. "Bells, we just want to make things right!"
A few tears managed to escape from her eyes. As Isabella looked at her father, she could see his face was etched with more wrinkles and his eyes were tired. A moment of pity rushed through her, but was quickly replaced with disdain. She was the tired one — the one who was walking through this world alone without parents. Charlie might as well be six feet under with Renee.
"You're full of shit, Dad! If you wanted a meaningful conversation about our relationship, you could have come here yourself. Did you do that? No! Instead, you brought along the despicable trio to rub what they did in my face. No, thank you!"
"They want to make amends," Charlie stated. His eyes were misty. The man had been delusional for such a long time when it came to Sue Clearwater. He loved his daughter. He really did, but he was lonely without Renee. Sue came into his life with a casserole dish and a way to flame his desire. Her coloring was similar to Renee's, but her cold disposition made Isabella cringe. Charlie had been looking through rose-colored glasses ever since.
Isabella muttered, "Bullshit!"
"Isabella Marie, how dare you speak to your father that way!" Sue approached Isabella with a glare, as she turned to Charlie. "Your daughter takes after Renee. She's ungrateful, little . . ."
"Bitch!" Leah spat.
Isabella stilled a moment, glaring at the woman she'd once called sister, then renewed her struggles to be let go.
Edward had heard enough. They just wanted to make trouble and Isabella's father was a clueless dope. He gave Isabella her wish, letting her loose. "Go get her, darlin'!"
Bella pounced on Leah and they both ended up on the ground. The women rolled around the dirt, each trying to get the upper hand. Leah bit into Isabella's shoulder, as Isabella pulled Leah's black hair so hard that a clump of it came off in her hand. The dry dust made a cloud as it swirled in the air around them.
Meanwhile, Jacob turned to Edward and growled, "Who the fuck are you?"
"Boy, I'm Bella's fiancé! I should be thankin' ya for settin' her free to be with me. Instead, I wanna beat ya so hard for hurtin' my gal that ya won't know yer own name!" Edward tightened his fists.
Jacob just laughed and punched Edward in the jaw. A trickle of blood came out of the side of his mouth and onto his shirt, staining it with crimson.
Isabella glanced over and screamed, as Edward landed face-down on the ground. She didn't see Leah take a tree branch and aim it at her face, its sharp fingers making a dangerous weapon.
It was mere inches from Isabella's eye when Rosalie plucked it out of Leah's hand. She proceeded to step on Leah's chest, saying with sickly-sweet southern charm, "Ma'am, I'd highly suggest that ya rethink hurtin' Miss Bella. We don't do that trashy fightin' 'round these parts."
"But I do!" Alice yelled, as she came over and pulled out more of Leah's hair. Isabella rolled out from underneath her and was able to stand up.
Her only thought was of Jacob hurting Edward, but she was surprised to see James and Emmett holding Jacob's arms back, allowing Edward to punch him in the gut. Jasper held Charlie back from trying to help Jacob. It didn't look like the old man was able to put up much of a fight, his face the color of a beet and his heavy breathing making him appear on the verge of passing out.
"I'm not one for fightin', Bella girl, but my boy loves ya and he's gonna fight for ya." Mama Esme hugged Isabella close.
"That's enough, Edward!" Isabella pleaded, as she noticed a small child wailing near Sue, sitting in a faded umbrella stroller. The child had wild dark hair like his parents, with huge brown eyes and a t-shirt stained with jelly. His parents may have been jerks, but the child didn't need to witness this. "There's a child watching!"
"Look, Boss lady! We're helpin' your boy out!" James crowed. "Damn, Em, this has been the most excitin' rodeo weekend since two years ago!"
Edward was like a man possessed and punched Jacob again in the stomach, making him groan.
"Stop, Edward!" Isabella wanted to run away.
"Nah, boy, the Boyd twins tusslin' last year with the lead pipe was pretty damn excitin'. Hit him again, brother!" Emmett exclaimed with a laugh, as he watched Edward shake out his hands. "Bessie, you do bring out the animal in these boys, don'tcha?"
"Boy . . ." Mama Esme warned her eldest son. Emmett pouted like a toddler as he and James finally released Jacob, who fell to the ground.
The rotund sheriff waddled his way through the crowd, followed by Carl. The lawman was busy eating a plate of barbecue, his fingers sticky from the sauce. Lazily he asked, "What'cha all doin'?"
"Looks to me like a little western justice," Carl observed, as he chewed on a piece of hay. "Them givin' ya trouble, Miss Bella?"
Edward stomped over and poked Charlie in the chest. "These people are givin' my fiancée a terrible time!"
"Fiancée?" Carl exclaimed loudly, throwing his hat in the air. "Woo hoo! 'Bout time, son!"
There were happy cheers for the couple from the surrounding crowd. Cowboy hats of different shades of black, brown and the occasional white flew into the air like confetti.
"This is ridiculous! That bitch attacked me!" Leah screamed, pointing at Bella.
Rosalie glared at her. "Nice way to talk around a child."
The sheriff held up his fork. "Y'all simmer down! Young lady, Miss Bella is a goddamned treasure in this town. You'd best watch your tongue."
"Marcus!" Mama Esme admonished.
"Excuse my language, Mrs. Esme." He smiled at Bella. "Miss Bella saved this town with her pluck and courage. I see nothin' amiss here."
Charlie looked up from the ground at the sheriff. "Bella saved the town?"
"Yeah, she did, Charlie. Your little girl and Miss Alice found out that a shyster was takin' advantage of the townsfolk and stopped him. Those girls are the bravest I ever met and I'll be proud to call 'em daughters," Carl explained with a smile.
Isabella glance over at Alice who held out a ring-clad finger. Alice said with a giggle, "Me, too! Jasper hid it in a plate of ribs!"
"It's gross, but fitting." Isabella knew that Alice Brandon loved to eat and that the ring would've been found very quickly.
Edward, forgetting about the Swans and Blacks, put his youngest brother in a headlock. "What the hell, Jas!" Way to steal my thunder!"
"Boys!" Mama Esme yelled, as the men were being pulled apart.
Charlie came over to Isabella while the crowd was distracted. Sue, Leah and Jacob were trying to calm the baby. "You did that? What the sheriff said?"
"Yes. I'm the editor of the newspaper and I reported that a crime was being committed," she stated simply, not looking at him.
"I'm proud of you."
She gave him a sideways glance. "Sure."
"I am." He stared at her. "I just wanted to make things right."
Isabella turned and glared at him. "You did? Because, if you really did, you'd have come here by yourself."
"Sue thought we needed to come together as a family and talk you into coming home." He tried to take Isabella's hand.
Edward glanced over at her and started walking over, but Isabella waved him away. This showdown with her father had been years in the making and she needed to do this on her own.
She pulled away. "If she told you to jump off a bridge, would you?"
"Of course not!" His dark brown eyes that mirrored Isabella's own refuted his words. He was a broken man. "Bringing Leah and Jake here was a bad idea, but..."
"You think?" Isabella scoffed. "I will never forgive them and they have no desire for me to do so. I have no idea why they want to be here unless it was to make me miserable."
"They wanted you to meet your nephew," Charlie tried to explain. "Matt..."
Isabella wanted to scream. That was the name she'd always dreamed would be the name of her firstborn son. She'd even named her baby dolls Matthew and now they'd stolen that from her, as well. She looked at Leah, who was smiling smugly at her. Leah would have been considered a lovely woman if she took care of herself. Years of heavy drinking and hard living had marred her so that her looks mirrored her awful personality.
Taking a deep breath, Isabella looked at the child whose tantrum was making everyone cringe. Ruddy-faced, with snot dripping down his small face, the child meant absolutely nothing to her. "He's not my nephew. I don't want to know him. I don't want a relationship with any of you. I'm an adult and this is my home now. I won't be returning to Forks."
"I'm your father!" Charlie yelled. "I'm the only parent you have left."
She shook her head in disagreement. "You were dead to me long before Mom died when you decided to support Leah and Jake over me. It was a simple choice and you chose the wrong one. I have no parents now, but I do have a wonderful family in the Cullens."
It was hard, but she turned to walk away, her head held high.
Charlie called out, "Bella! Please!"
Edward ran over. "Sugar, what can I do?"
"Hold me tight tonight, Eddie." Isabella stroked his face. "You're my everything."
He placed his forehead against hers. "You're mine, my beautiful Bella."
They passed Jacob as they walked away. His wink at Isabella was comically obvious, causing her to shiver as Edward tightened his grip.
"He's not worth it, Edward." She kept on walking.
"You might as well come back home, Bella baby," Jacob called from behind them. "He's just going to get tired of you, too."
Edward started to turn back, but Isabella kept pulling him forward. "Don't let him win."
They heard Jacob give out a scream in anger.
Emmett chuckled. "Ya should watch out, buddy. Looks like ya ran into my fist."
Isabella gave a little smile. Out loud she prayed, "We're going to be okay."
As the stars twinkled above, she sent that wish out to the great beyond.

NC State will play Temple in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Dayton, Ohio, on Friday. The at-large bid marks the second consecutive for Mark Gottfried's team, which advanced to the Sweet 16 a year ago. It is NC State's 24th trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Gottfried is now the first coach in NC State's storied basketball history, and only the third in the 60-year history of the ACC for all schools, to take his first two teams to the "Big Dance." This year's squad has already recorded a 24-10 record, its highest win total in 30 years.
"I'm obviously very excited for our team," said Gottfried. "It's a great accomplishment to be back in the NCAA Tournament in back to back years.
"I think Temple is very good. When you have wins over Syracuse and Villanova in their non-conference schedule and play the way they have in their own conference, that gets your attention real quick. Khalif Wyatt is one of the elite players in America and I have a lot of respect for Fran Dunphy, who is one of the most respected coaches in the country."
Last season, NC State also received an at-large bid as a No. 11 seed, advancing to the Sweet 16 before falling to eventual national runner-up Kansas, 60-57, in the Midwest Regional in St. Louis.
Gottfried has made 18 postseason appearances as a coach and a player, including 15 trips to the NCAA Tournament. He helped lead UCLA to seven NCAA trips and an 11-6 mark in the tournament, and was an assistant coach when the Bruins captured the 1995 national championship.
For the third time in Gottfried's tenure as a head coach, he has led to a program to multiple NCAA berths. In his previous head coaching stops, Gottfried led his alma mater Alabama to five consecutive NCAA Tournaments (2002-06), including a trip the Elite Eight in 2004. At Murray State, Gottfried guided the Racers to NCAA Tournament berths in 1997 and 1998.
As a player at Alabama, he helped lead the Crimson Tide to three straight Sweet 16 appearances from 1985-87, posting a 6-3 record.
Game times will be announced on Monday.

Welcome to Mrs. Teresa's Classroom!
Kindergarten/1st Grade
Contact Information
- email@example.com
Mrs. Teresa Pape
Welcome to Mrs. Teresa's multi-age classroom at Plato Academy. My classroom is one of my favorite places to be. This is my 7th year teaching at Plato Academy. I have an Elementary Education degree from Illinois State University and an endorsement in Special Education. Before Plato, I taught preschool communication development, 4th grade, high school LD/BD, and worked as a reading specialist. Plato emphasizes the four C's: critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity. The "project approach" we use requires more hands-on participation from both students and teachers. I guide my students to search out and discover answers for themselves which I believe reflects the strength of an American education. Most schools have a mission statement declaring they engage all students, they differentiate to each individual's needs and they promote lifelong learning. At Plato Academy this is more than just a mission statement. My students are encouraged to be out of their seats working together, sometimes loudly, and creatively searching for solutions to problems by using their critical thinking skills. The person in the classroom doing the most talking is doing the most learning. So why do so many teachers work so hard to keep their class quiet? Instead I join them in this process and learn as much as they do. I look forward to making many cherished memories alongside my students. To be a part of this experience fills me with joy and reminds me of why, ever since the first day of kindergarten, I have yearned to be a teacher, and why, I still want to teach more than anything else.

Many of the scientists working in Alaska waters are in Anchorage this week to share the results of their research at the Alaska Marine Science Symposium, according to a story published by KYUK Public Media. Usually the gathering is full of the most recent discoveries and the results of large collaborative efforts to understand the implications of our rapidly changing seas. Climate change has taken center stage for some time now, and this year is no exception.
What's new this year is that many are worried about what will happen to the data they have gathered because of the political environment in Washington, D.C.
News that the Trump administration has shut down White House websites that many depend on to get information about Arctic research and government policy stunned scientists attending the Alaska Marine Science Symposium. As they listened to their colleagues discuss the impact of warming oceans in the Arctic, many wondered if they would still have a job by the end of the year.
All climate change references deleted from WhiteHouse.gov as new chapter begins
In the midst of this, Nicholas Bond, a climatologist with the University of Washington Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean, presented an overview of the impact of the huge bodies of warm ocean waters, known as warm blobs, that have developed in the north Pacific Ocean. He showed maps of them moving from the west coast into the Arctic, and showed one hot spot right off Quinhagak on the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta. Bond described how warmed waters changed the chemistry and habitat, producing smaller and less fatty prey for fish. In the case of walleye pollock, research shows that in these warmer seas, older and bigger pollock were supplementing the lower fat content of the krill they prey on by eating younger pollock.
"There may be a lot of pollock that are hatched, but they get the one-two-punch of both having less favorable prey to consume, and then they are getting preyed upon by their aunts and uncles," Bond said. "And so ultimately in those cold years, [there is] greater survival."
In his presentation, Bond, who also works with the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration, used data from many government researchers from different fields working for a variety of institutions, some sitting in the room. That data was kept on government computers and data archives, and all of it could possibly be targeted by an administration that said it does not see the need to study or respond to climate change.
In her presentation to the conference, Fran Ulmer, who co-chairs the U.S. Arctic Research Commission that was set up by Congress in 1984, reassured people that much of the information gone from the White House websites shut down by President Donald Trump's team is still available elsewhere.
"All of that information remains on the Arctic.gov website," Ulmer said. "So it may have disappeared from other websites, but it's still at Arctic.gov."
Many scientists attending the symposium worry that shutting down White House websites is just the beginning. They worry about the Arctic data that has been gathered over decades. The New York Times reports that a group of scientists are working to move data from government sites to university and private archives. No small task, as it's a huge amount of data in many formats. There are indications that some of the data may end up in safe-havens in Canada and overseas.
Most scientists are more comfortable questioning a research presentation to dig out underlying facts and assumptions or talking about how to cooperate and get the most out of shrinking research budgets. They are not trained to engage in a war over data, so it was not surprising to see a politician, Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz, sound the alarm.
He was introduced as a politician who, at one time, worked in the research community in Antarctica. Instead of the traditional mayoral welcoming speech, Berkowitz followed a day of scientific presentations with a plea for scientists to speak out. He said for policy makers like himself, there are no alternatives to real facts when it comes to making decisions to better cope with what the future brings. He pleaded with the scientists to speak out and enter the political process.
Research will allow us to develop the policies that will make us a resilient community – speaking at the AK Marine Science Symposium. pic.twitter.com/W6TQxHiBHj
— Mayor Ethan (@mayorethananc) January 24, 2017
"This time, more than ever, you cannot leave your learning in the laboratory. Individuals here have an ability to affect policy," Berkowitz said, addressing the crowd. "And if you remain silent in the face of ignorance, that ignorance will breed and fester, and cause future problems for us."
Ulmer hopes that reason will prevail. She points to the support of Alaska's congressional delegation and industries ranging from fisheries to shippers and oil companies that rely on research and cooperation in the Arctic.
"So I believe our congressional delegation, as well as our governor and our Legislature and the business interests that exists across the Arctic will continue to see value in the United States participating," Ulmer said.
Most attending the Arctic Science Symposium are hoping for the best and plan to listen to the latest research and try to figure out how to make their own work better and more effective at teasing out what is happening in our rapidly changing Arctic seas.

Description: A trailblazing memoir about one familys quest to face its slave-trading past, and an urgent call for reconciliation In 2001, Thomas DeWolf discovered that he was related to the most successful slave-trading family in United States history, responsible for transporting at least 10,000 Africans. His ancestor, U.S. senator James DeWolf of Bristol, Rhode Island, continued in the trade after it was outlawed, dying the second-richest man in America in 1837. Thomas DeWolf's cousin Katrina Browne produced and directed the documentary Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North, which follows her, Thomas, and eight other family members as they retrace their ancestors'steps through the notorious triangle trade route-from New England to West Africa to Cuba. The film premiered in the documentary competition of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, and Inheriting the Trade is Thomas's powerful memoir of their life-altering journey. DeWolfs intimate confrontation with white Americas unearned privilege sears the conscience. Kirkus Reviews This soul-searching memoir . . . promotes conversation about truth of the past and its impact on the present. Publishers Weekly Required reading for anyone interested in reconciliation. Myrlie Evers-Williams, civil rights leader and author of The Autobiography of Medgar Evers Inheriting the Trade is like a slow motion mash up, a first-person view from within one of the countrys founding families as it splinters, then puts itself back together again.

With an impressing anniversary program El Sistema celebrated its 40th birthday in February. American writer Tricia Tunstall was on site – here is her report about an extraordinary concert experience.
Saving lives in an inflatable operating room
Medical emergencies in areas beset by crises often call for immediate surgical intervention. Thanks to a newly-developed system the Médecins Sans Frontières organization (Doctors Without Borders, or MSF) can now set up a functioning emergency surgery station in only a few days.
Caritas and Superar create a cultural meeting point as well as employment facilities for long-term unemployed in Object 19 of the Alte Ankerbrotfabrik.
Claudio Abbado memorial concert
The Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, led by Gustavo Dudamel, toured the Middle East at the end of January for the first time, holding concerts in Muscat and Abu Dhabi. The tour began, however, with concerts in the Salle Pleyel and in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.
In recent years the Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg has focused its stated purpose of protecting and conserving Mozart's cultural legacy on looking outwardly. As a result the Foundation has increasingly dedicated itself to addressing children, adolescents and young people. The central subjects here are the youth education program known as "Klangkarton", the Mozart Children's Orchestra, founded in 2013, the development of new concert formats and communication concepts, and the further development of Mozart Week as an international platform.
Nicola Benedetti and Leonard Elschenbroich provide instruction in Santa Cruz.
A master class took place in June with the German cellist Leonard Elschenbroich and the English violinist Nicola Benedetti, founder of El Sistema Scotland, as part of the Hilti Foundation's cooperation with the Orquesta Filarmonica de Bolivia project. Both musicians, who have been linked for years through their joint appearances in chamber orchestras, selected nothing less than Brahms' Double Concerto in A minor – a significant challenge for the orchestra and its young director Miguel Salazar Hidalgo.
The TV documentary "Egypt's Sunken City / A Legend Is Revealed" shows the rediscovery of the ancient city of Thonis-Heracleion that submerged more than a 1,000 years ago, on Saturday, 11 May, at 8.15 pm on Arte.
Every year in February, "El Sistema" commemorates its inception by holding celebratory concerts. This unique music school and orchestral movement celebrated its existence with an extensive series of concerts in Caracas as well as numerous activities in the music schools throughout the country.
The members of the Columbian Academia Filarmónica de Medellín (AFMED) gave an impressive performance at their first concert in 2013. This event marked the conclusion of an intensive week of rehearsal with visiting professor Roberto Gonzàles-Monjas.
In June, a dream came true for the 138 kids of the "Big Noise Orchestra": for the first time the ensemble, which was founded after the model of the Venezuelan musical education program "El Sistema", performed on stage together with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Scotland's Stirling Castle and 8000 visitors the intercultural music ensemble opened the London Festival, the Olympic Games' musical framework program. Star conductor Gustavo Dudamel himself held the baton and described the concert as "an Olympic fireworks and symbol for the positive power of music".
The Build Change organization is active in the sustainable reconstruction of buildings and houses that have been destroyed in earthquakes. In May CEO Elizabeth Hausler reported on the current status of the project in Indonesia and Haiti.
The Hilti Foundation has expanded its cooperation agreement with Ashoka, its partner organization in the area of affordable housing, by an additional three years. A business model has been developed, together with local community organizations, country developers and banking institutions, that provides low-income population segments the possibility to acquire inexpensive housing or to improve existing residential housing. The defined targets (number of new and renovated properties) are reviewed annually and form the basis for the cooperation undertaken in India, Brazil and Columbia.

Simpa Networks, a social enterprise, has developed a business concept that makes it possible for needy families in India to purchase a solar system which provides them with a safe, inexpensive and sustainable source of energy.
Thanks to the simple financing model, allowing for flexible payment on a prepaid basis - similar to that used in mobile phone subscriptions - several thousand households in India will be outfitted with solar systems. To finance the planned growth activities the company is looking for additional investors. The Hilti Foundation has supported the project since its inception and has a seat on the company's board of directors, represented by Hilti Foundation consultant Bruno Walt.
Social change through music
The land surrounding the Cape of Good Hope is not known as an opera lover's paradise. Nonetheless, there are many young people in the area who regularly belt our arias from Mozart and Verdi.
The interest in opera can be traced back to the country's highly developed choral tradition. Whether big or small, almost everyone sings in a choir and singing is almost as popular as soccer.
"Doctors Without Borders" and "@fire"
One of the six focal points that Hilti Foundation is committed to is "disaster relief."
Since the outset of 2012, Hilti Foundation has counted among its cooperative partners both "Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)" as well as "@fire – International Disaster Response Germany" as two additional globally recognized relief organizations.
The Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) was founded in 2009 by Gustavo Dudamel, the conductor of international renown and ambassador for the Venezuelan music school movement El Sistema. Similar to the Venezuelan model, American children and youths with disadvantaged social backgrounds are provided with instruments at no charge. In addition to musical training, they are also given an opportunity to be positively engaged, integrated into an association and they can also aspire to a profession in music.
On October 6, 2011 Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel has been named Gramophone's Artist of the Year, in Gramophone's only publicly-voted award.
On October 12, 2011, together with family members and friends, countless representatives from the political scene, various companies and from society, including President of the Austrian Vorarlberg Parliament, Dr. Bernadette Mennel and representatives of the Department of Information Technology (IT) at Hilti Corporation celebrated the official enrollment of the ten new START scholarship holders. The climax of the event in the WIFI Dornbirn, Austria, to which more than 140 guests were invited, was the awarding of the enrollment certificates by founder of the Piz Buin Foundation and initiator of START-Vorarlberg, Bill Dearstyne.
On September 18, 2011, "Physicians for Human Rights-Israel" has received this year's Parents Circle's 2011 Reconciliation Award to honor the organization's exceptional contribution towards the reconciliation and mutual understanding between Israelis and Palestinians.
With more than two million inhabitants, Barranquilla and Soledad make up Colombia's fourth largest conurbation. Some 25 percent of the population are subject to abject poverty. Most of the slum dwellers live in confined spaces and their houses often lack sanitary facilities, drinking water and electricity.
Almost two years after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, many people still live under disastrous conditions. Reconstruction proceeds slowly. More than a million people still have to rely on temporary housing.
Construction technician with the Housing for All initiative in Fortaleza, Brazil
In July 2011 the Hilti Foundation met with Cicero Chaves inFortaleza,Brazil, a city of almost 2.5 million people in the country's northeast. Between February 2010 and May 2011, he worked as a construction technician with the Housing for All initiative. Together with three other colleagues he advised and supported some 434 families and business owners on renovation projects. In this interview he talks of his work and the experiences he made.
The START initiative is a scholarship scheme for talented immigrant youth affording access to higher education and providing support up to the high school diploma. InGermanyandVienna, this scheme has been in successful operation for several years, and in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, START has granted ten scholarships per year since 2009.
Project Visits in Latin America
In June, Egbert Appel, Managing Director of the Hilti Foundation, Bruno Walt, Project Manager of the Hilti Foundation, and representatives of the Foundation's partner organization Ashoka teamed up to visit the Housing for All projects in Latin America.

February 17, 2014 - DocsCorp, a global leader in document productivity software for document management professionals, announced today the release of its new metadata management software—cleanDocs Desktop—which enables organizations to better protect themselves and their clients from accidental information and metadata leaks.
cleanDocs Desktop is the most advanced metadata management software available today. It is built on new cleaning technologies developed by DocsCorp to provide unprecedented levels of speed and flexibility to users and IT Administrators.
Maximum document security – cleanDocs can remove more than 100 metadata types from MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF documents. In addition, IT Administrators can specify custom property manipulations. For extra security, cleanDocs can convert documents to PDF using DocsCorp's new PDF technology.
Sub-second cleaning – cleanDocs is blisteringly fast, minimizing productivity losses waiting for documents to clean. It does not require access to the authoring application, instead it works on the binary level to analyze and clean documents. This means less waiting for everyone.
Multi-threaded design – cleanDocs takes advantage of multi-threaded processing, supporting all available cores to clean multiple documents concurrently. For example, it can clean up to 32 files in the same second!
Policy-based cleaning – IT Administrators can establish enterprise-wide metadata policies to ensure all documents are cleansed of metadata. Alternatively, users or nominated users can be allowed to modify cleaning options at the point of sending based on the recipient's trust level to provide a more flexible approach rather than a "one-size-fits-all" solution.
Mobile email is on the rise and so are the dangers of metadata leaks as people increasingly use smartphones and tablets. A comprehensive metadata management solution must have a mobile component. cleanDocs consists of two modules—cleanDocs Desktop and cleanDocs Mobile. cleanDocs Mobile will be released in April, 2014.
cleanDocs Mobile only cleans documents that come from mobile devices (iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone) or through Outlook Web Access. cleanDocs Desktop integrates with Outlook and provides the user with a rich experience at the point of sending. cleanDocs Desktop and cleanDocs Mobile work in unison to ensure documents are only cleaned once. They can be deployed independently or together for a more comprehensive metadata management solution
The DocsCorp document productivity suite now consists of cleanDocs, compareDocs and pdfDocs to provide organizations with all the tools they need to better manage their business-critical documents from a single technology partner, integrating with the office applications and document management systems they use on a daily basis. The clean, modern interface common to all the applications ensures that users focus their attention on the task at hand rather than grappling with complex and confusing user interfaces.

Clean, comfortable accommodation at a fair price and good location
I primarily chose this hotel because of the sweet spot between price and location, but it turned out a good choice.
I was travelling by train with shoulder overnight bag so walking was very easy. Positives about Qudos: great location in the town centre; friendly, attentive staff; good food in the bar below (I had the burger and was stuffed); decent beer; tidy room; decent choice for breakfast (even though I was the only person having breakfast the chef was available - I appreciated that); the room wasn't oppressively hot or drying. Not so positives: light bulb was out; no shower gel in the dispenser (I didn't notice the one on the sink until after); scuff marks on the wall. None of these should be a deal breaker, they're small compared to the positives.

Great, central Hotel
Lovely central hotel, good sized rooms; very clean.
Bed comfortable, but it would've been nice to have an extra blanket available. We stayed at Qudos on a Saturday night. We were aware that there would be live music in the bar, and we advised of this again at check-in. We could certainly hear the music, but it wasn't a problem at all. Would certainly stay here again.

Well located place to stay
The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the bathroom could do with updating toilet seat was broken also the shower had no power, but this wouldn't stop me staying here again.
We didn't eat at the hotel as we like to explore and try somewhere different every time, so we can't comment on the food. It does get really noisy as they have live music in the evenings but it didn't bother us too much.

Pleasantly suprised
It was a late booking but everything went smoothly.
It was as late rooms stated and more. Good value for money and the rooms at qdos were modern
and clean.the staff were friendly and helpful too. We did not get chance to sample the food as we had
prior arrangements but the Menu looked interesting. I would definitely stay here again.

The girl off the ring!!
Spent one night in this hotel which was enough.
On arrival we waited 10 minutes to be dealt with as the girl behind the bar was dealing with someone else. Think I might have needed to serve if someone had come in to the pub. The first comment then was "we are not a hotel we are a pub. nobody is here through the night and in the morning" Nobodies dealing with any problems then are they. Don't advertise as a hotel if you are not. The room itself was ok. Looked into a dentist surgery where I watched a bloke having his teeth done. The bathroom though was dirty. Shower gel holder was broke. and grimey to boot The shower did not work and you could not get water from it properly. Ive had hotter showers in the ones on the poolside abroad. The real problem for me though was a knocking on the bathroom door which sounded like something out of the ring. This carried on all night....Worst nights sleep i've ever had in a so called hotel room. But we could not tell anyone because as stated there's no one there. All in all a poor stay in a PUB.

Good do with a revamp
Not impressed with bathroom, first day found hairs on the floor, 2nd day on return to room left with no towels.
went to bar mentioned to member of staff but only given bath towels no hand towels. Had asked for quiet room but the room was on the main road with the street. Street light attached to the building just above our room not ideal!. Would I go back again not a chance have had better stays in budget hotels!!!

Excellent stay
We had an excellent stay at Qudos.
They very kindly upgraded us to their suite, which was lovely. We has a massive bed and lovely sitting room.
The only downside was the jacuzzi bath was not working and on leaving there was no one to tell. We would stay there again though.

Where not to stay
Music went on till after midnight.
Could hear talking from the bar area. The bed was uncomfortable, the cushions appeared to be dirty. The carpet was covered in stains, the side of the bath was damaged. We booked breakfast on your site, only to be told on arrival (15:00) we need to say what we want and at what time. There was no staff on duty during the night, we were told to use the emergency exit when we left.

Great "loft-style" hotel room that makes you want to live in it
As soon as we entered the hotel we were welcomed in a kind, funny and charming way.
The room we had felt great from the very first second on. We would have loved to stay much longer because we felt home right away and still had that nice "sleeping in a hotel" feeling.
All in all the perfect hotel room.

Good but...
My room was unfortunately above the bar which can be noisy till the small hours.
Otherwise the hotel and bar are great and central to Salisbury. Maybe just unlucky with the room.

Romeiros (Pilgrims) of São Miguel
During February and March 2016
The Romeiros come from all around the world. They walk the island roads for eight days during the months of February and March. They travel clockwise on the island in groups by the dozens, from dawn to dusk.
They carry a staff and a rosary in their hand, a scarf around their neck, a bag and shawl on their backs. As night falls they are given shelter by families that offer dinner and some hours of sleep. It's through prayer that they free themselves from the burdens of the world. Some have been pilgrims for 2 or 3 decades consecutively. Some are pilgrims once, as if they had done it forever. Faith does not change it is a life commitment.
Light mag. 4.3 earthquake - AZORES ISLANDS, PORTUGAL on Tuesday, 19 January 2016
19 January 2016
Date & time: Tue, 19 Jan 09:45:58 UTC
Magnitude: 4.3
Depth: 5.0 km
Epicenter latitude / longitude: 38.1°N / 26.3°W [Map]
Nearest volcano: Don Joao de Castro Bank (32 km)
Primary data source: EMSC
Storm Alex has caused little damage after arriving in the Azores in the North Atlantic ocean.
16 January 2016
The eye of the storm missed the archipelago's island of Terceira by 20 km (12 miles), meteorologists said.
Authorities had warned of the risk of landslides, flash-flooding and "significant coastal flooding," but Alex caused no more damage than toppling trees and cutting power to some villages.
Residents of the seven Portuguese islands had reinforced doors and windows with plywood and sandbags on Friday, and schools and administrative buildings were closed, but there were no casualties.
The Azores government also advised the closure of some schools.
The islands are home to 250,000 people and are an autonomous region of Portugal, which lies 850 miles to the east.
Alex is unusual for forming during winter when sea temperatures in the North Atlantic are much lower. The storm is expected to head north towards Greenland before dissipating.
Rare January hurricane forms in Atlantic, threatens Azores.
14 January 2016
MIAMI (AP) — A rare January hurricane formed far out in the Atlantic on Thursday, and U.S. officials said it was the first hurricane to form in the month of January since 1938.
Hurricane Alex's maximum sustained winds were near 85 mph (140 kph). A hurricane warning was issued for Portugal's mid-Atlantic Azores Islands, where the Civil Protection Service issued a weather red alert, the highest of four warnings that indicates extreme risk, for five of the archipelago's nine islands. It said residents should expect waves up to 18 meters (60 feet) high and wind gusts up to 160 kph (100 mph).
TheU.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said in a Facebook post that there hasn't been a hurricane present during the month of January since
1955, when Alice formed in late December 1954 and carried over into the next month.
The hurricane was centered about 415 miles (670 kilometers) south of Faial Island in the central Azores and was moving north-northeast near 20 mph (31 kph).
Alex was expected to move near or over parts of the Azores on Friday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
The Azores government on Thursday advised kindergartens to stay closed and told residents to ensure drainage systems aren't blocked.
The archipelago, which has a population of around 250,000, has been threatened by hurricanes before, but they usually lose their strength as they move into colder northern water.
Alex formed only days after a rare event in the Pacific. An El Nino-related tropical storm formed southwest of Hawaii last week. Tropical Storm Pali, only the third such system to develop in January in over 40 years,had weakened to a depression by Thursday and was expected to dissipate in the next day or so. It never made landfall and was no threat to land.
However, Alex's formation has nothing to do with El Nino, according to NOAA Climate Prediction Center deputy director Mike Halpert. NOAA researcher
Jim Kossin said the water Alex formed in was about 3 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal, still barely warm enough for a storm to

Azores, Portugal
These islands including Flores (pictured)lie about 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) west of continental Portugal.
The Azores are home to green volcanic mountains and picturesque townsattributes noted by one of 522 experts who helped judge 111 islands for National Geographic Traveler magazine.
The archipelago was ranked second because the Azore's strong culture and healthy ecosystems are likely to last, especially since the islands' "capricious climate probably impedes the flow of tourists," according to another expert participating in the ranking.
Early signs of inappropriate development, however, were a concern.

Small place
I love living here but the neighbors are annoying and the place is kinda small for me and the other people who live with me. I've gotten used to it though and after awhile you just don't want to leave. If I had bigger space I would be able to decorate and do what I want with it to accommodate my own style.

I was watching Without Trace and the story turned out to be about a 12 yr old boy who goes off to hang himself after being bullied at school. He is saved by the FBI and his parents. The difference between that boy and me is that he had allies - his parents, they didn't bully him too. I had none. It still shocks me that I can so swiftly be transported back 40 years and wet my face gets in second, before I even have time to register what is going on inside me.
I hated that boy for so long. Now I just wish someone had been there to hold him and tell him he wasn't shit , as I was nicknamed.
It really is astonishing I am who I am today and have the good life I have. I haven't just survived, I LIVE.

Following passage of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) by the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday, HCP President Claudia Hammar issued the following statement:
The legislation passed today by House Republicans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would drastically reduce Federal Medicaid and Medicare assistance for hundreds of thousands of elderly, disabled, and chronically-ill New Yorkers. Recent changes made to the bill failed to address any of the serious concerns raised by home care agencies and other health care providers. HCP strongly urges the U.S. Senate to reject this bill, which would have devastating impacts on New York's most vulnerable citizens.

Financial Times Prepared For The Worst, And Succeeded
Five years ago I recall listening to the Financial Times's chief executive, John Ridding, as he outlined his paper's digital strategy. It was under way by then, of course, but the FT was moving faster and more enthusiastically than many papers – including its major global rival, the Wall Street Journal.
In practical terms, the FT's transition from print to screen was highlighted by its integration of print and online operations. And the year before the FT had launched its live financial markets blog, Alphaville, which has since prospered by attracting a regular audience and winning awards.
These initiatives can now be seen in the context of what Ridding calls "the journey of transformation" during which continued experimentation has carried the FT to an important milestone. It was able to report last week that the FT's digital subscribers have exceeded its print buyers.
Here are the relevant statistics of Ridding's "growth story": the FT's combined paid-for print and digital circulation during the three months up to June this year was 598,698, up 2% year on year (and, incidentally, the largest daily audience in the FT's 124-year history).
Breaking that down, the average global print circulation was 297,227 compared to the digital circulation of 301,471. It meant that the number of digital subscribers increased by 31% in that April-June quarter compared to the same period in 2011.
Just a couple more facts: the FT's average daily global audience has grown to a smidgeon under 2.1m while print has stayed flat. There has been a 30% improvement to the online desktop audience and treble digit rises for both tablet and smartphone audiences (from low bases of course).
These figures bear out Ridding's expectation that ink-on-pink-paper would continue its sales decline while the future was digital. He may not have been alone in foreseeing that, but he certainly adopted an internal strategy aimed at smoothing the digital path.
By erecting a paywall, while gradually increasing the cover price for the print platform, he also ensured a flow of revenue that has resulted in the FT making a profit every year since 2005.
No wonder Ridding is able to tell me that the digital strategy is working. The FT has survived what was undoubtedly an existential crisis to be confident of its future, well, as confident as any paper can be nowadays. "If we had not made those changes," he says, "we wouldn't have got through."
