Checking in with Buenos Aires, Part 2
Working in the digital department is very alternate because it means that I get to collaborate with many different departments in Kraft and with all brands. Hortensia and I share office with the consumer insights department and I'm working together with the marketing directors and their advertising and digital agencies to develop the brands digital strategies, campaigns and activities in social media.
I'm also involved in projects with the HR department and internal communication. One of the reasons Kraft are interested in having students from Hyper Island working in Kraft is to let them share their knowledge of Hyper Island method and process to inspire the culture to become more open to change and innovation. Everyone at Kraft has been very open and curious to learn more about Hyper Island and for me as a Hyper Island student it has also been very interesting to get to do process follow ups and idea generations in a real working environment with my colleagues and try out how to best use the methods in an environment different than Hyper Island. As students in Hyper Island we are working with these methods daily but of course the conditions when working with these methods in an office are different and demand for other ways to present and work with them. By doing this I have understood a lot of how to work with and present the Hyper Island methods in the future and this is definitely something I will bring with me from Kraft.
Today I have a couple of meetings with some brands to present my feedback on some activities they are planning to perform on Facebook this year and I'm also going to present an idea for an application. To work in the same office as marketing directors is very different from coming in from an agency to present ideas. Since we are all in the same building it is much easier to just drop by to show some new ideas or discuss how to move forward. In this way the client is much more involved in the process and I get much better access to their knowledge about the market and target group. Since I have been working at advertising agencies before it is interesting to try another way of working now, or as we say at Hyper Island – step out of your comfort zone.
See you at Twitter later for live updates from Kraft!

HONEY BADGERS - Buena Park LP
Let me start by saying that this is record is a self-contained party. If your not interested in parties or fun or what have you, might I suggest Train's "Drops of Jupiter". Now, if your not off on iTunes (or wherever the fuck it is that moms buy music) buying said Train album, let's talk about how much fun you will have listening Honey Badger's "Buena Park". Short answer; all of it. This circular piece of Orange County awesome is etched with a surprising variety of crunchy hit's. From upbeat cowpunk sing-a-longs to head hanging, synth-laden post punk rippers, the album never looses a dance-able pulse. The music is undeniably garage pop in it's foundation but the bubblegum you often find in this kind of stuff is all but absent, leaving recognizable tunes with a raw delivery (this being the best type of delivery aside from pizza). What I'm saying is, this music is much more similar to pizza than it is to bubblegum. I hope that helps.

5⭐for aggravation
I have over 800 apps, plenty have been deleted. None have ever been as aggravating as this one.
You can not use the app for more than 90 seconds without a popup ad asking you to upgrade or download a free app, and so forth. Additionally, the banner add is placed in such a manner that if you select the i (info) button it automatically selects the ad. Aggravating.
The app itself is similar to hundreds of other photo apps, except for the fact that when you try to save you are presented with only the options of: Instagram, Facebook, twitter, email. This means you can't save to your own camera roll.
Another developer to add to my blacklist. There are too many good dev who offer a free product with worthwhile upgrades to pay extra to receive; even free is not worth this aggravation

Directions See How It's Made
- Mix into a jar with a good seal (eg. approx 200g glass coffee jar) 1/2 cup of oil and all other ingredients, except Feta Cheese.
- Cut Feta into approximately 2cm cubes. Add cubes to jar, a few at a time and then swirl oil to coat cheese.
- When as much cheese is in jar that will fit, cap jar and invert a few times to coat cheese thoroughly, then top up with more oil til all cheese is coated. Invert jar a few more times and refrigerate.

It's simple, and free.
"No'm," he replied sadly. I went back to the orphanage the day after I tuck him there, and nobody would let me see 'im. I went back day after day, but they never. The last time I laid eyes on him was April 24, 1949, and he was only three days old.
Carswell turned to him abruptly. "1949, you say? What orphanage?" Albert scratched his head. "Mary's...Marion...." Carswell's eyes opened wide. "Marion Ashwood Orphanage?" he asked. Albert nodded, "Yeah, that's it." Carswell was now pale. "April 24?" Albert nodded again. Carswell stopped and turned full-face to Albert. "I was left at Marion Ashwood on April 24, 1949. I was three days old." Albert gave him a stunned look, and then pulled up Carswell's cuff. There on his forearm was a birthmark only a father would know about.

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore last night opened a new studio for HASSELL – the design firm responsible for some of the most important projects currently helping re-shape Sydney.
Four hundred invited guests attended the studio launch at Walsh Bay. The new studio, in Pier 8/9, will be home to approximately 125 architects, landscape architects, urban designers, planners and interior designers.
Established in Adelaide in 1938, HASSELL is celebrating its 75th anniversary year. It is now an international design practice, operating studios in five Australian cities, five in China, two in South East Asia and two in the United Kingdom.
In Sydney, HASSELL is working on projects including Sydney International Convention Exhibition and Entertainment Centre and the associated public domain known as Darling Harbour Live, a new glasshouse and tropical centre at the Botanic Gardens The Biome Top End, Sydney Light Rail project from Randwick and Kingsford through the heart of the CBD to Circular Quay, the bid for the North West Rail Link enhancing travel along the Sydney North West corridor., the Westconnex urban renewal project, Taylor Square Bike Hub, ANZ's new Sydney head office workplace andHub Sydney a collaborative co-working venue.
The new studio takes up 2,636 square metres in the historic Pier 8/9 at Walsh Bay. It is adjacent to the planned Barangaroo Headland Park and in the heart of the Walsh Bay creative industries community. Pier 8/9 was built in 1914 to store and load wool onto ships bound for Europe and has a wonderful tough, industrial character.
The move to an industrial wharf building re-imagined for a new purpose continues a HASSELL tradition – the company's Shanghai studio is in a former motorcycle factory, in Brisbane it is housed in a transformed bakery and in Melbourne it occupies what was once a clothing warehouse.
HASSELL Sydney Managing Principal, Matthew Pullinger, said the move to Walsh Bay brings a new impetus and energy to the studio.
"We are celebrating our new studio with a major contribution to Sydney's Vivid Festival of Light, Music and Ideas," he said.
"Our designers have produced four separate Vivid installations that are drawing hundreds of thousands of people to the city's streets.
"The Vivid installations may appear modest compared to some of the projects we work on. But they give our people a great opportunity to extend their creativity and sense of fun. It also demonstrates our commitment to making a contribution to enlivening creative places and the cities we live and work in."
The new studio is designed to reflect the engaged, collaborative culture HASSELL has fostered over the years. It is focused on a large double height creative hub that reveals the historic fabric and function of the building. This space facilitates everything from incidental get-togethers, to formal presentations and even performances for larger groups.
The main studio space on the mezzanine level overlooks the hub, placing our design process on display, visible from both the entry below and throughout the large characterful workspaces.
"Our carefully designed studio environment, situated in a finger wharf on Sydney Harbour is a truly amazing place to work," said Mr Pullinger. "And with the official launch it showed that it is also a great place for celebration."
Here is a description of the four Vivid installations by HASSELL designers.
The Dalgety Line by David Tickle and Emma Townsend is a site-specific installation that seeks to reconnect the city and the Harbour, responding to the original position of two assets of the Dalgety company (a wharf and a wool store), as well as a 2012 proposal to split the Millers Point area into two suburbs, disconnecting the hillside settlement from the waterfront. The Dalgety Line seeks to reconnect Millers Point with its historic waterfront, both literally and conceptually. It runs along and across a portion of Hickson Road, suspended above the ground and tethered sensitively to buildings and urban elements. Marking the western threshold of the Vivid Festival, the line creates a sense of arrival or departure for people passing beneath it.
Field of Colour by Nicholas Elias and Clinton Weaver is a series of illuminated coloured tube clusters. Each cluster has the same geometry and spacing except that each is rotated in a slightly different way. The installation accentuates the quality of the site, as it is a quiet and calm piece of work with no strong narrative. Its abstract nature means that people can engage with it and interpret it in their own way.
Rats by Jason Hammond, Sarah Meyer and Bridget Tregonning references the invasion of rats that took place in 1900 in The Rocks and Walsh Bay area that resulted in an outbreak of bubonic plague. A program of quarantining the outbreak area followed, as the Sydney Harbour Trust demolished all the existing buildings in the area and created a new rat-proof sea wall to stop rats breeding in the area. The invasion of rats can be seen as the single most defining factor in the development of the area as it is today and the design team used this idea to create the random effect of rats floating the water of Piers 8 and 9 in Walsh Bay. The rats – which try to evoke the slightly eerie feeling of eyes staring out from the dark at passers-by – were crafted by the design team themselves, completely out of material that are associated with the sea and water.
Walsh Bay Whispers by Grace Tham looks to the Walsh Bay Wharves and the significant role they played in Sydney's founding history and maritime past. The wharves were hubs for settlers, traders and travellers, each with their own colourful tale to tell. This installation aims to bring those secrets and stories back to life, capturing the essence of the era when the wharves were first built and the area was a bustling centre of Sydney. Using light and sound to inspire imagination and evoke emotions, Whispers is an immersive experience of discovery and delight where nothing is as it seems. The installation is best described as real-time public theatre and features a custom-built brass and crystal chandelier, ghost illusions, reclaimed doors and windows from historic sites and an emotive soundscape designed by David Pickvance.

chemical time scale
Does anybody knows how OpenFOAM calculates the chemical time scale, tc ?
I am deciphering the source code right now, but it would be nice to have somebody else's work to compare with.
Any help?
Hi José,
If you´re simply looking for the formula, you´ve got a first answer on slide 16 of the following presentation:
If you´re trying to determine how and where exactly this parameter is computed in OpenFOAM format, I´m afraid I can´t help. I actually looked for it - as I am running simulations with reactingFoam and find the question interesting - but did not quite get it. I guess it would help to have more than just my basic knowledge of C++!
I´d be glad to read your findings here in case you got more than that in the meantime.
Chemical time scale in PaSR model
Dear all,
I have a doubt concerning chemical time scale computation in ChemistryModel class. Mainly I'm referring to the tc() function reported in the following:
if (this->chemistry_)
I've read a lot of works about PaSR model where they talk about the general overview of this combustion model but in each of them they talk about the need of solving detailed reaction system in order to obtain this time. But I've never found how this has to be done.
Thank you.

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation announced that, along with the concessionaires of Offshore Area 1 (operated by Anadarko Mozambique Area 1 Ltd. (AMA1)) and Offshore Area 4 (operated by Eni East Africa (EEA)), it has signed a Unitization and Unit Operating Agreement (UUOA) for the development of the massive natural gas resources that straddle the two blocks.
'We appreciate the cooperation of the Government of Mozambique, Eni and our co-venturers in Offshore Area 1 for their collaborative efforts in achieving this UUOA, which is fair, equitable and consistent with best industry practices,' said Mitch Ingram, Anadarko Executive Vice President, Global LNG. 'We have already made tremendous progress advancing the natural gas resources in the Golfinho and Atum fields that are fully contained within our block, and with this UUOA, we can also expect to move the Prosperidade and Mamba straddling reservoirs forward more efficiently, while capitalizing on greater economies of scale.'

Gown by Amy-Jo Tatum/Photo by Jim Vetter Photography
Over on One Wed Blog where you can hear me chatting away about time travel. If I could be granted one wish before I die--(or maybe once I'm dead--I have no idea how these para-norm things work) it would be to travel back in time so I could actually get a touch and feel of an era. I think I'd start in the 1930s. Why? Can you think of any time fashion was so elegant, almost minimalist than the 30s? The body-hugging bias cut was still a new invention and believe it or not, radical concept. READ MORE . . .

So, I saw this new show in TLC called "Married by Mom & Dad" were the kids allowed their parents to chose their future husband/wife. So, I am wondering how many of you would actually trust your parents in picking your future wife/husband? pls explain why?
I would only trust my father in picking my husband. My mother would just chose a handsome jerk with no redeeming qualities lol.

Nah, I wouldn't. They don't know what I find attractive in a girl.
My Dad tried introducing me to a few of his students from Taiwan (where my family is from). They're all really quiet, shy, and sort of "submissive" (I hate that term, but I don't know what else to use - they pretty much do what their fathers/husbands tell them to do). They think that kind of girl would be perfect for me.
I don't "click" with that kind of personality. I'm attracted to a girl who is more outspoken, strong-willed and confident, but has a kind heart and an intellectual mind. I'm sure I can find that on my own :D11|00|0
Lol. Yeah hopefully you find her :)
Thanks for sharing
Most Helpful Girl
Nope, not a good idea. I think that they would choose someone that they like but not someone that I would like. Seeing as they absolutely hate my boyfriend (and he hates them back) whilst I adore him, I would say we have a vastly different opinion on some behaviours. What they'd see as acceptable isn't something I ever would and vice versa. I don't think I would end up enjoying being with whoever they chose.11|00|0

I'm a waitress at a cafe & there is this one regular who comes in who I have a crush on I haven't spoken to him before because he just gets a coffee to go so the barista serves him
I have a crush because he is so good looking & I overhear him chatting to the barista & he's so nice and talkative (as a waitress I always appreciate it when people are so lovely to serving staff and considering our barista is in the beginning stages of learning English , it just seems like an extra nice thing to do. It seems like he goes out of his way to be lovely)
I'm a very pretty girl, tall, blonde, slim, buxom, big blue eyes & bee stung lips. I don't mean this in an arrogant way, I understand & agree looks are subjective.I'm just trying to give u honest details because I am hoping for an honest, helpful answer
It feels like this guy INTENTIONALLY avoids eye contact with me. Which seems strange because he's so sweet to our barista & as a waitress, it's a part of the job to be warm and friendly towards customers. I hope this doesn't sound too narcissistic but it's a small cafe and he has definitely seen me, why is he avoiding eye contact & not smiling?
I have theorised a couple of possible answers
He has a girlfriend or isn't interested for whatever reason so doesn't want to give me the wrong idea But this seems unlikely since he is so kind to the other wait staff
He's awkward/shy & avoids eye contact because of that
Do u guys have any other ideas? The more details the better, help!
Most Helpful Girl
Because he's always just ordered coffee he's never had a reason to talk to you? Maybe he only gives attention to people he talks to so if he ever came in to be served he'd talk to you if you were his waitress11|00|0
I think that's a good point. It would be really difficult for him to strike up conversation since he orders his coffee around ten feet from where I work. Maybe I'll just be near the barista next time he comes in
Yeah...that's what I was going to suggest...or talk the barista into letting you wait on him next time he comes in

Lower Calorie Lower Sugar Human Puppy Chow
Be the first to review
READY IN: 25mins
Recipe by hannahkirk
I get cravings for this sometimes or for something sweet and chocolately like this, but I wanted to try something slightly better for me. You could try cutting out the oil/margarine altogether and maybe even the peanut butter. And you could experiment with other low-calorie cereals. I would guess plain puffed rice might be nice. This is basically the same as the regular recipe, but with slightly less chocolate, oil/margarine, and a powdered sugar alternative.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil or 1⁄4 cup margarine
- 1 1⁄2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1⁄3 cup peanut butter
- 9 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal (Multi grain or other high-fiber cereal)
- 2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
- 2 cups cornstarch
- 1 cup sugar substitute (Splenda or 1/2 to 3/4 cup stevia might work, too)
Directions See How It's Made
- In a large sauce pan, melt chocolate chips with the peanut butter and add the olive oil/margarine.
- Stir until all is evenly distributed and all is completely melted.
- Measure out chex into a large bowl.
- Pour chocolate mixture over chex and fold until all the chex are completely covered in the chocolate mixture.
- Mix the nonfat dry milk, cornstarch, and Splenda in a blender until it looks like powdered sugar. This is the "powdered sugar" in the following steps.
- Put the "powdered sugar" into large paper bag.
- Put chex into the bag with the "sugar" and shake until all chex are covered.
- Add more "sugar" as needed.

Kim Kardashian West wants to have blonde hair
Kim Kardashian West wants to have blonde hair again.
The 35-year-old 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star has admitted she wants to return to having platinum blonde locks, but is fearful bleaching her hair for the second time will ruin her brunette tresses.
The television personality announced the news via social media on Monday (18.07.16). She tweeted: "makes me want to go back blonde but i'm scared it will ruin my hair :-( (sic)."
And the mother of two - who has three-year-old daughter North, and seven-month-old son Saint with her rapper husband Kanye West - sported a blonde wig for the music video to Fergie's 'M.I.L.F.$' recent single.
However, the television personality has revealed she didn't like the styling for the music video, which initially saw her don a curly hair piece and red lipstick.
Speaking on her website, the 'Selfish' author said: " Working on the "M.I.L.F. $" video with Fergie and all the other amazing women--Chrissy, Ciara, Alessandra Ambrosio, Tara Lynn, Gemma Ward, Amber Valletta, Angela Lindvall, Natasha Poly, Isabeli Fontana and Devon Aoki--was so much fun! B. Akerlund styled me and she is SUCH a legend.
"We took some behind-the-scenes photos. Squeezing into this look was a full team effort; it took three people to get me into these latex shorts, which have a built-in corset! LOL.
"We started off with the red lip and curly hair, but ended up not liking it, so I went back to the nude lip and straightened out the hair for the main shots."
Meanwhile, Kim believes she has given Kylie Jenner, 18, the "most" beauty advice out of all of her sisters including Kourtney, 37, Khloé, 32, and Kendall Jenner, 20.
Speaking previously, she said: "Out of all the sisters, I've given you the most beauty advice. Like, from back when you were little."

Fraunhofer Institute on OOXML und ODF
The Fraunhofer Institute has published a whitepaper on the interoperability of Office Open XML (OOXML) and the Open Document Format (ODF). Microsoft had a hand in its development.
The first part of the Fraunhofer Institute whitepaper with the title "Document Interoperability: Open Document Format and Office Open XML" describes use cases in which ODF and OOXML would work well together. The second part analyzes both in terms of the demands the use cases make. In the introduction, the authors hope that their analysis "will be useful in understanding how the ODF and OOXML standards compare, and how their functionality can be mapped between the two formats." However, they do not compare implementations of the standards "which can cause additional kinds of interoperability problems."
The results are rather sobering. Whether the conversion from one document type to the other is successful depends on the complexity and functionality of the document as well as the "translatability level" of the tool used. A closed loop where, say, an ODF document is converted to OOXML and then back again is nigh impossible. The problems arise, according to the analysis, from the ambiguities of the standards and the extensions to the document formats, even if they conform to the standards. The success ultimately lies in the instruments used, which the standards often don't cover. The authors recommend developing validators for the purpose. All in all, the basic compatibility between ODF and OOXML remains largely undefined.
In its conclusion, the whitepaper addresses Open Source activities by identifying their strengths and successes: "There are still many unanswered questions in the field of document interoperability. However, current developments in the field of the standardization as well as interested communities in the Open Source environment are working on and providing solutions to solvable questions and providing clearer views on limitations."
The 90-page whitepaper is available as PDF after a short registration. The Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS) in Berlin is the author and publisher, with some acknowledgements to (and possible financial help from) Microsoft.

Like a poor man standing outside a brothel or the guy who was off sick while
his co-workers were splitting the cost of what turned out to be the winning
Powerball lottery ticket, this column is filled with a lot of "what ifs."
But when the "what ifs" might culminate in the return of NHL hockey to
Winnipeg and Quebec City, we think it's worth the stretch.
Yes, the NHL could conceivably return to the two towns it abandoned almost
10 years ago. Yes, we're serious. And yes, we would pass a breathalyzer test
as we're writing this. For if the owners are to be believed regarding the
league's bleak financial future (and that's undoubtedly the biggest "what
if" in our entire theory) it's not so far-fetched to picture a day when the
National Hockey League restores its place in cities defaced by the crass
bully that is capitalism. That is, if the league and its players aren't too
blind to realize it.
Here's the deal: Let's assume NHLPA supremo Bob Goodenow's recent
prediction the labor showdown brewing between the league and the players'
union will result in 20 months of NHL-free sportscasts (an estimate also
made by incoming WHA commissioner Bobby Hull in a similar statement) is
correct. Let's then assume what many already do that such a shutdown would
kill off interest in -- not to mention the financial viability of -- almost
one-sixth of the league's teams.
Now let's imagine what would happen if the league followed through on its
pre-lockout rhetoric and put together a collective bargaining agreement that
saves its small-market teams from extinction. With that kind of system in
place -- and with American fan interest eroded to a dangerous low -- we would
pose two questions.
First of all, why not attempt to re-establish a presence in towns where
hockey fanaticism is built in, rather than clumsily trying to glue the
shattered fragments of mediocre, southern U.S. fan bases? Furthermore, if a
new CBA effectively recasts the league as a gate-driven industry, doesn't it
make sense to return to markets that, given a system that distributes on-ice
talent as equally as possible, will heartily support the product, as opposed
to re-investing in cities that obviously prefer NASCAR pre-race shows and
the World Series of Upside-Down Cheerleading to the NHL?
Now, moving teams back to Canada undoubtedly would present a new set of
challenges for both the owners and the players, but the alternative seems
much more hurtful to the future of the game. That's because the alternative
is watching teams like Carolina, Nashville, Pittsburgh and Florida take the
big dirt nap, their belongings sold off to the first available creditor,
their players redistributed in a contraction draft. Not the ideal image to a
commissioner looking to nail down a lucrative, long-term national TV
contract, nor the best re-election platform for a union boss charged with
saving as many member jobs as possible.
Indeed, owners and players alike have to be worried about announced crowds
of just over 12,000 in Tennessee and North Carolina. And when one of the
greatest players in the history of hockey can't persuade Pittsburgh
residents to replace the NHL's oldest arena, when Miami residents would
rather watch P. Diddy train for the Iditarod than shell out for a Panthers
ticket, there is legitimate cause for concern.
And before we go any further, a brief plea: Let's resist the urge to smash
down on the "send" button so that some otherwise innocent typist's e-mail
address -- say, for example, email@example.com -- might be deluged
with a crippling torrent of civic pride-related invective. We don't doubt
there are tens of thousands of hockey loyalists in all of the markets we've
tagged as susceptible to a work stoppage. We know there are folks in those
zip codes who believe the game can thrive again. And although it certainly
isn't fair that a changing financial reality can rob a community of a valued
commodity, it happens. Ask the folks up north how they managed to cope.
Think about it -- four insolvent teams with 23 players apiece equals 92 former
NHLers. That won't mean much to the Jaromir Jagrs and Peter Forsbergs of the
league, but it will directly affect the livelihoods of the muckers, grinders
and fourth-liners, the guys who don't drive Hummers and talk in the third
person. For them, it will mean a return to riding the buses in the minor
leagues, leaner paychecks to cash and lesser stages to perform on. Not the
ideal manner by which every pro expects his career to end.
Just because teams such as Calgary and Edmonton managed to hang on longer
than the Nordiques and Jets doesn't mean Quebec City and Winnipeg residents
shouldn't get the same second chance at hosting a successful hockey club,
both on and off the ice. They've lived without the NHL for coming up on a
decade, but the proper amount of government assistance, coupled with a
renewed commitment by the league to the future of Canadian hockey, certainly
could help clear any operational hurdles the relocated teams might
This isn't just a call to arms for the league and players union. This is
also a heads-up to the people of Quebec City and Winnipeg. A well-prepared
potential ownership group in each city, ready to swoop in and reclaim what
once was theirs, would comprise half the battle. The NHL would have to be
reasonably secure that they wouldn't be removing one "for sale" sign simply
to erect another somewhere else.
But the opportunity to alter the course of the league rarely has been
greater. With North America's economy far from the glory days of the early '90s, there will be no more American knights galloping in to relocate the
derelict damsels of the NHL in their time of need. From here on, it's
every team for itself. And the same towns that were sneered at as being too
podunk, too small-pond for the big fish to swim in, could very easily hold
the solution the league has been searching for in trying to save some of its
cattle from the slaughterhouse.
So fret not, all you worrywarts and nervous nellies out there. A prolonged
labor battle might change the face of the NHL, but with the proper dosage of
leadership and vision, the game might be pushed closer to its roots than
we'd have thought possible 10 years ago.

Want to Review a Different Internship?
5.0 of 5 stars
Everett, WA
September 2016
The company was the best part. I worked in the baby bomarc at the everett site. I was treated like a new hire, not an intern. They gave me work that challenged me, but it wasn't so hard that I was overwhelmed. The pay was amazing and I received a ton of benefits, free boeing merchandise, and leave time. I was fortunate enough to get asked to come back for my final summer in 2017.
The worst part of the internship was learning the acronyms that the engineers use. After every meeting, I had a list of about 10-25 new acronyms that I had to find the meaning of to understand the content of the meeting.
Stay persistent in applying. I was denied about 43 times before I was accepted by the company. I had a really high gpa and a good resume but I just wasn't accepted. Boeing is a tremendous company but it's extremely hard to get into it.

Renton, WA
September 2016
The internship provided a great raining and onboarding process, and from the beginning to the end, I was treated like an entry-level employee. The work was valuable and greatly increased my knowledge-base. There is also an open door to pursue interviews with any executives in the business.
The downers that I experienced were just the lack of time to experience the full breadth that Boeing has to offer.
This is a very valuable internship that helps to build your understanding of a large corporation. The work is valuable and the options that are opened for you inside Boeing are vast (if you apply yourself)and hard to even quantify.

Really diverse and fun. I would recommend this internship, especially for students who are still trying to figure out what they want to do with their degree.
Seattle, WA
August 2016
Independence and freedom! Unlike internships I've had in the past, Boeing does not micromanage you. You have the independence and freedom in how and when you do your projects, as long as you complete the project in a timely manner and according to regulations of course. It's also a great feeling to know that you'll be working on projects and reports that matter, ones that get sent out to the whole company. For example, I am working on an automation project that would increase efficiency by 3+ hours. I will create an impact on the company that will last beyond my time here. The tours and informational interviews have been fun and interesting! The pay and total compensation package that Boeing provides is VERY good.
Personally I have not really had a downside. I have, however, heard of other interns who have been "bored" with "nothing" to do. But in my opinion, that can easily be solved with initiative. If you take the initiative and had a conversation with your manager about how light your workload may be, they can easily make the necessary changes.
Work hard, be proactive, and always be on the look out on how to do things more efficiently!

Immediate introduction into Boeing system, working on real projects and challenges, feel like a real employee.Intern exposure to management, executives and travel.Benefits and pay.
Lack of solid communication during hiring process.Knowing that they treat interns like royalty, but that will quickly fade becoming full time. Enjoy it while you can.
Don't think that just because you don't believe you are "good enough" to work at Boeing or believe that they are unobtainable, just act with confidence and reach and strive a little bit. On the flip side of the coin, don't work here just for the name. Boeing is a very unique place to work and you need to understand that signing up here, you will absolutely be kindling a career as an intern, and need to work very hard over your 12 weeks to connect, network, learn and perform as much as possible. Great company to get in as an intern and they really make it clear that they want to keep you around for the long haul, but its not for everyone.

I was treated like a real employee. My team worked really hard to get my trained up as quickly as possible so that I could be an active member of the team. I was able to do meaningful work this summer.
This work is very fast paced, so as a newbie it can be very intimidating. But I learned so much that the stress was worth it.
This company has so many opportunities. And management encourages you to take control of your career and move around to find the right fit. Even if you are not placed in your ideal position right away, you will have the opportunity to find it.

Intellectually stimulating experience. My job really pushed me to think outside the box, approach problems like a real engineer. I was given a real problem that gave me opportunity to deliver a product of efficiency for many employees. It was very satisfying to work on a project that made a difference in speed of the design process. I also value the attitude of everyone who works at Boeing. People are very professional, respectful and helpful.
Not enough time to learn more about the company and all the different departments in Boeing. Although I could do information interviews with anyone from beginner level engineers to senior managers, trying to meet the expectations and deadlines of my project limited the time I could network in the company for me to find which team I would like to work with as a full time employee after interning.
Boeing has a great work place dynamic. Work-life balance is wonderful. There are unlimited opportunities for growth in every branch once you are part of the company.

The pay and benefits were fairly decentThe work group were good to network with
No real work to doDidn't work on one single projectCould only work on scrap jobs
Make sure your work group is fully formed and that they are ready to receive you. Big company, relocations are expected so make sure your group is up and running and that they have available projects to work on.

The internship pays really well and includes health insurance and a 401k. The company treats you like a real employee, which is empowering and makes you fell like you fit in. I was able to meet my boss and all the bosses up to the CEO of the company. This company loves interns and welcomes new personalities. Everyone that I worked with was super great to get along with and made time to get to know you.
There is a political and corporate feel to the work environment. Cubicles on cubicles everywhere. There are no exciting colors.
Please try this company out. I highly recommend this internship.

SHERIDAN — Big Horn girls and Tongue River boys golf teams each took third in Lusk Saturday.
After winning in Wright Friday, the Tongue River boys posted a 398 and finished in a three-way tie with Saratoga and Wright Saturday in their final regular season meet. Wyatt Main was third individually with his 86.
"It's going to be a great conference golf meet at Kendrick this Thursday and Friday," TR head coach Pete Kilbride said. Tongue River is the host school for this weekend's 2A conference meet in Sheridan.
"The team scores have been close all season," he added. "At this stage, I just want the kids to relax and have fun. The score will take care of itself."
On Saturday, Wyatt Schumacher shot a 90, Casey Caywood had a 102 and Dylan Patterson carded a 120.
The Big Horn girls finished just out of the top spot with a 321. Lusk and Wright split first each shooting a 315.
Alex Eisele was sixth, shooting a 103. Big Horn was held up by Taylor Nance (107), Kaleigh Anderson (111), Jamie Kitterman (115) and Amelia Ponce (135).
"Both teams played pretty good this weekend," BH head coach Mila Stender said. "It was nice to get two meets in back to back. We competed well and are very close to finishing in the top one or two places. As anyone who plays golf knows, it truly is a game of inches and this weekend proved this again."
The Big Horn boys were right behind the three-way tie in fourth, shooting a 401 Saturday. Nick McAdoo shot the top score for the Rams, a 92 that was good enough for ninth. Their team total was rounded out by Brody Bard (94), Jack Roberts (102) and Kevin Coffmen (113).

text: WellPoint, Inc. (NYSE: WLP) today announced that fourth quarter 2012 net income was $464.2 million, or $1.51 per share. These results included $0.48 per share of net income resulting primarily from a favorable income tax settlement and net investment gains, partially offset by acquisition related costs. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $335.3 million, or $0.96 per share, and included net investment losses of $0.03 per share. Excluding the items noted in each period, adjusted net income was $1.03 per share in the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 4.0 percent compared with adjusted net income of $0.99 per share in the prior year quarter (refer to GAAP reconciliation table for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or "GAAP"). Full year 2012 net income totaled approximately $2.7 billion, or $8.18 per share, including $0.62 per share of net income related to certain items. Full year 2011 net income was approximately $2.6 billion, or $7.25 per share, including net investment gains of $0.25 per share. Excluding the items noted in each period, adjusted net income was $7.56 per share for the full year of 2012, an increase of 8.0 percent compared with adjusted net income of $7.00 per share in 2011 (refer to GAAP reconciliation table). "Our fourth quarter results were stronger than originally expected, reflecting improved operating performance, solid expense management and improving execution in our core operations," said John Cannon, interim president and chief executive officer. "We are encouraged by this strong performance, and believe it positions us well for a solid 2013. We are optimistic about our company's long-term positioning and believe the alignment of our core businesses, leadership and 2013 investments prepare us well for the emerging opportunities in health care." "Our fourth quarter results reflected lower than anticipated Commercial medical costs and stability in our membership base. Our results were supported by the strength of our operating cash flow and year-end balance sheet metrics," said Wayne DeVeydt, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "We are encouraged by the performance of our associates and the business in the last six months, but we also want to retain an appropriately prudent stance in our outlook, in light of what we expect to be a fluid and dynamic market over the next 18 to 24 months. This is reflected in our initial expectation for 2013 EPS of at least $7.60."

Transport Minister P Mahender Reddy today launched 39 vehicles of 108 Ambulance for emergency health services in villages of his home district Ranga Reddy. He interacted with health staff on the functioning of the vehicles and latest facilities available and inquired about first aid to be offered to the accident victims.
Speaking to reporters on the occasion he said that they spent Rs 6 cr for 39 vehicles and 3 lakhs for latest equipments to monitor heart ailments, ECG, oxygen level and BP for the accident victims. The state of the 108 vehicles will reach in no time to the accident spot and offer the best services he promised. Previous governments neglected to maintain these vehicles and could deliver better services he charged. Now the TRS government committed to provide better health services and spending a lot of money for these vehicles and equipment and facilities in the hospitals. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao gave more funds to health sector in the budget he said. The minister expressed hope that the vehicles will plunge into action at the accident spots. He called upon the people to cooperate 108 vehicles to rush to the accident spots. Health staff and police wing have to coordinate to offer timely health services to protect the lives of accident victims on a war-footing. (NSS)

Save your money for the cheap show, or PPV."Just saw a movie that happened to have a title card that read "Day the Earth Stood Still""......been lurking around for many years, but I felt I had to say
something ...and this new disaster makes me feel like somebody threw a
ton of raw, fresh excrement onto me, in IMAX format, yet...what kind of
Hollywood dumbass wrote this thing?
I decided to go with Bobtm and see The Spirit instead.
Now I liked both Sin City and 300, the latter more than the former and this is the Spirit after all so I went i with high hopes.
I must confess that it was welcome to see that after all the fan service for the girls in 300 that this provided lots of fan service for the my demographic.
It was also nice to see Samuel L. Jackson having a completely batshit bonkers good time as the Octopus...or perhaps he simply went batshit bonkers during filming and the directors ran with it.
On the other hand...
What in the HELL!?
That was an ODD film....
I didn't exactly hate it but it was really strange and more than a bit unsatisfying...
Anyway this evening I went on the internet and started doing some work on some upcoming posts, in the process I did an image search....
...and encountered a picture where someone had perpetrated "Rule 34" on a
Shudder....not that Cadburry cream egg tan wasn't sort of..cute...but damn....that ain't right.
I need a soda....wait...what??? HOLY HELL!!!
Yes kids....It's the grape soda who's flavor really grabs you....at $2.67 a bottle, it had damn well better.

The Pink Tentacle brings us this neat story from March on what is the ultimate egg drop ( but with no egg involved).
Japanese scientists and origami masters hope to launch a paper airplane from space and learn from its trip back to Earth.
This seems like it could be doable. The fact that these are made of paper should give them light enough wing loading. OTOH they will still be traveling at suborbital velocity when they begin to hit the sensible atmosphere, the light loading might not be enough.
Of course we won't know till we try!

"Fortunately" after a tragic lab mishap involving Mentos, one member of the Brickmuppet's crack team of science babes is now ideally equipped to deal with comment threads that have returned from the dead! She now shambles up to answer these questions.
First up, 'Alternate Energy' asks about the relative energy yields of sugar beets and switch grass.
That's a hard one to figure as there are several factors involved, but some ballpark assumptions can be made.
Here sugar beets are credited with providing even better yield than sugar cane at an experimental French farm.
For ethanol, the top yields per acre are 714 gallons from sugar beets in France and 662 gallons per acre for sugarcane in Brazil
This might well be misleading as sugar beets are hard on the soil and need to be rotated rather more than other crops. That site mentions that one sugar beet crop per field every 4 years is a good rule of thumb with one per 3 being rather risky, so the number probably would realistically be 1/4th of that given.
By comparison, according to this report, switchgrass yields a theoretical maximum of 1,150 gallons of ethanol per acer.
These numbers are also somewhat as the celulosic process mentioned in the post is not fully operational (though it is very promising). The big advantage of switchgrass is that it is a weed, a native species and can be grown very well on marginal land that isn't really suitable for other crops. This is not the case with sugar beets and is important because we don't want to be displacing food crops for fuel. That is a very bad thing!
I personally think that algael oil, about which more here, here and here is a better option in general with a yield of kerosene type hydrocarbons 50 times that of the best ethanol producing crops. However, switchgrass certainly has potential to supplement that. (Ethanol also works fairly well in suitable Otto cycle engines, whereas algae produces what is fairly close to diesel fuel.)
A comparison of various crop yields can be found here. Note that most displace food and that Congressional favorite corn is by far the worst of the lot.
Alternate Energy also asks in this post why there has been so little buzz surrounding Thorium Cycle Reactors (first mentioned here, or rather at the old blog, in '06).
The reasons for that stem from in part from the anti nuclear hysteria found in so much of the green movement, but also from a policy decision made by the Carter administration in 1977 when we got out of the fuel reprocessing business. The idea was that plutonium should not become a commodity to be traded and that this would ease proliferation risks...In practice this meant the US ceded an entire industry to the Europeans, the Russians and the Japanese.
Additionally, the media has been very hostile to nuclear power in general over the years. It should be rembered too that this is a technology that was abandoned. This gives, to a casual observer, the mistaken impression that it failed....which can cause it to be further dismissed.
The most promising thorium reactors are liquid fluoride reactors which burn up the vast majority of their fuel, far more efficiently and with less ultimate waste than other types. However this cycle is a breeder cycle and that got it nixed from consideration. Other types of thorium plants have the advantage of using thorium fuel instead of uranium of course. This vastly increases global fuel reserves but these other thorium reactors don't really minimize waste as far as I know.
A previous post on this blog regards nuclear power in general can be found here, and nuclear scientist Kirk Soronsen...who actually KNOWS what he's talking about...has a blog as well as a very informative discussion forum where thorium fueled reactor related issues are discussed in great detail by a variety of people far more experienced in them than an undergraduate oceanography major.
Undead science babe has been identified as "Franken Fran" and is a creation of Manga artist Kigetsu Katsuhisa.

This was somewhat similar to the "Colliers" space program as envisioned by von Braun and others… just not so small and limited.*
Not so limited indeed...the station was half a mile long and the gravity deck (centrifuge) was 1500 feet in diameter. This was the size of an O'Neal colony...in 1956!

The domination of men in all spheres of public life and within the family is an undeniable fact. Feminism fights this domination and in certain areas it has successfully established the claims of women as being equal to men. One aspect of this success is related to the struggle that feminist activists have waged across the globe. But the success is also related and this perhaps is the more important aspect to the unquestioned achievements of women in various spheres. Such is the level of these achievements that it is impossible to deny the abilities of women. In India, the backwardness of women is more acute because of illiteracy, lack of opportunities and societal attitudes in which sundry forms of paternalism and patriarchy hold sway. Under the circumstances, the state has stepped in to remove the prevailing inequalities and backwardness that adversely affect women. The states intervention has taken the form of positive discrimination for women. More specifically, the state has decided to introduce the quota system for women in various fora, from Parliament to the board of directors of companies. While the womens reservation bill in Parliament flounders, the government has planned to amend the Companies Act to make it obligatory for companies to have a minimum number of women on their boards. Thus the question of providing leadership to industries will be decided not on competence or merit but on the basis of gender.
Women, especially professional women aspiring to become directors of companies, will treat the proposal as an insult to their abilities. It assumes that women are incapable of climbing up the corporate ladder without a push up by the state. There are obstacles but these cannot be removed through legislation. Also, since a large part of the state machinery is run by men, the proposal smacks of a certain kind of paternalism: it is a gift being given out to women. There is also an element of tokenism involved in the move. There has been hardly any attempt to help women who really need help in spheres of health and education, and those who need protection against various kinds of social injustice. Women in the corporate world are capable and can, in fact, look after themselves and rise to the top. They do not need reservations. Reservations, as experience shows, only nurture incompetence. India can no longer afford this, if it ever could. India needs to recognize and reward merit irrespective of gender. And women in the corporate world are among the most meritorious, they do not need state support.

Lenders Mull Sale of RiverCity
By Cynthia Koons and Gillian Tan
The lenders who own Australia's troubled RiverCity Motorway are considering a sale of the asset this year in a deal that could be around 500 Australian dollars (US$525.9 million), people familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
RiverCity, the company which built the Clem Jones Tunnel under the Brisbane River in Brisbane, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2006 in a deal that was worth nearly A$700 million at the time. But the company incurred significant debt building the project and when the toll road failed generate enough traffic, the company ran into trouble with its lenders. RiverCity appointed voluntary administrators a little over a year ago, owing A$1.3 billion to its banking syndicate.
