practice-based learning
They sort of make your degree seem more worthwhile…Obviously I'm learning [in lectures] but what am I actually paying for?
(natural science)
It's great to see the lecturers having fun as well and they really get into it and you can tell it's what they love to do. And I think it's when you've got enthusiastic lecturers, you start getting really enthusiastic about it too.
(natural science)
engaging with staff research
socialising with staff
3. engaging beyond the university
4. engaging with peers
They look like us, they think like us and they're not that much older than us and they appreciate what you need to know…
(medical science)
5. engaging with student feedback mechanisms
it doesn't really directly affect us…only subsequent years so…you just think, 'Well why should we even bother complaining cos it's not gonna change our experience…?'
(medical science)
even if they can't do it immediately…you know that it might occur a couple of years down the line and help the year below

The 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship is providing an important daily learning curve for the match officials working at the final tournament in Lithuania.
Orel Grinfeeld and Martin Strombergsson (c) uefa.com
Besides nurturing the future of Europe's footballing talent, the UEFA European Under-19 Championship final round also provides the tournament's referees with an important opportunity to hone their own developing skills.
Jozef Marko, a member of the UEFA Referees Committee attending the finals, said he has been particularly impressed by the standard of officiating at this, the first U19 championship to be held in Lithuania.
"The referees have already shown their qualities and based on those they have been selected for this tournament; the process is very simple," he said. "The referees here are not beginners. The majority of them have been on the FIFA list for four or five years and have proved their quality over a period of time."
The match officials are in daily contact at their base in Kaunas, with meetings and briefings organised by the Referees Committee as well as physical training regimes forming a significant part of their learning curve. "We arrange several seminars for them and show DVDs while issuing methodological information," Marko continued. "We observe their progress. Many of the referees are going step by step. Some have officiated at Under-17 level or at other tournaments as well as UEFA club competition matches. The process is to follow and increase their quality.
"The main points here in Lithuania are to teach the referees to reach a high level of interpretation of the Laws of the Game," Marko explained. "Protecting the health of the players and the image of the game are also important points on the road to reaching the level required by UEFA."
Taking time out from this busy schedule, two of the referees, Israel's Orel Grinfeeld and Martin Strömbergsson of Sweden told UEFA.com that their experience so far has been both enjoyable and highly informative. "Being here represents a great opportunity and it's a big step in my career," Grinfeeld said. "I was in Serbia a month ago for the elite round but this is my first time at an Under-19 championship. For us it's very important to learn at such a high-level tournament and you learn something new every day."
Strömbergsson agreed, adding: "We talk about respect here all the time, and I mean everyone, from coaches and players to the referees. There are very good player-referee relations here. My first match at the finals was the game between hosts Lithuania and the Netherlands and my feeling was that there was a lot of fair play between the teams."
Dovetailing with the constant fine-tuning of referees' on and off-field skills is their own personal desire for progress, with this event helping to highlight what could lie ahead for them in the near future. "My dream is to take the next step and referee a UEFA Champions League match," Strömbergsson said. "I love football and watch that tournament all the time."
An appearance at a UEFA EURO, meanwhile, figures prominently on Grinfeeld's refereeing wish list. For now, though, both are thrilled to carry on learning at the 12th UEFA European U19 Championship.
Kulbakov considers the Under-19 EURO final as a "very important moment" in his career.
Opland, Kulbakov, Broughton and Zwayer (c) uefa.com
Aleksei Kulbakov has been selected to referee the UEFA European Under-19 Championship final, the culmination of a rewarding two-week period for the Belarusian official.
Aleksei Kulbakov is anticipating a "very important moment" in his career having been chosen to referee the UEFA European Under-19 Championship final between France and Serbia.
Fully focused on Thursday's showpiece in Marijampole, the 33-year-old Belarusian expressed his gratitude at being selected to officiate in the encounter, with his pride shared among the refereeing team – assistants Dermot Broughton of the Republic of Ireland and Leif Eric Opland from Norway and German fourth official Felix Zwayer.
"To be part of the refereeing team along with Dermot, Eric and Felix is both a big honour and a pleasure," Kulbakov told UEFA.com. "It's a very important moment in our refereeing lives. Every referee here at the tournament formed a great group. We were from countries all over Europe but spoke only one language, the language of football."
From their base in Kaunas, all of the match officials in Lithuania have received daily briefing sessions and fitness workouts which have formed part of an important learning process during the finals. "These past two weeks we have worked very professionally and in an in-depth manner while trying to improve ourselves as people and as referees," Kulbakov said.
"We had really excellent physical and practical training with our coach while receiving highly informative analysis from our observers. We discussed a lot of situations with regard to reading the game. I can now take this information and these ideas back home with me and share them with my Belarusian refereeing colleagues."
Agreeing that the standard of football has been particularly high, Kulbakov said that the players and the Lithuanian public had combined to create a unique sporting event played in a warm atmosphere.
"Obviously the players here are all around 19 years old yet you can already see that many of them will be stars of the UEFA Champions League in the future," the referee explained. "We have also seen a lot of spectators here, even when Lithuania have not been playing, which goes to show the interest there has been in the tournament. This is a beautiful country where the people have been always willing to help us."
Having studied closely a recording of the finalists' 1-1 Group B draw last week, Kulbakov said his team of officials are expecting a different type of match. "This is a final and, as such, is a special game," he said. "We watched the sides' previous game but realise the next one will not be the same. We just want to concentrate and be prepared for any eventuality that may arise."

CARL NIEMANN Carl G. Niemann, one of the nation's leading or- ganic chemists, and a member of the Caltech fac- ulty for 27 years, died of a heart attack on April 29 in Philadelphia. He was 55. Dr. Niemann and his wife, Mary, were en route to Europe for a vacation. He had been attending the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, where he presided over a session of the Academy's chemistry section, of which he was chairman. Born in St. Louis, Carl Niemann was graduated from the University of Wisconsin and received his PhD in biochemistry there in 1934. He was a re- search associate at the University of Wisconsin in 1934-35, a fellow of the General Education Board at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in 1936-37, an assistant in chemistry at the Rock- efeller Institute in 1936-37, and a Rockefeller Foundation Fellow at the University College Hos- pital Medical School in London in 1937-38. He joined the Caltech faculty in 1937 and became a full professor in 1945. Dr. Niemann made outstanding advances in the understanding of enzymes, which control the bio- chemical activities in living cells. Most recently, he had been working on limitations in the speci- ficity of enzymes. He also did significant work on the chemistry of amino acids, peptides, carbohy- drates, and lipids. He had served as chairman of the Caltech faculty and was chairman of the graduate committee of the division of chemistry and chemical engineering. He was also a consultant of E. I. DuPont de Nemours Co. and of the Smith, Kline and French pharmaceutical company. He was elected to the National Academy of Sci- ences in 1952.

Trailers from Hell's Dan Ireland follows Josh Olson's take on "Mad Max" with a look at "The Road Warror" (aka "Mad Max 2").
Mad Max returns to his post-apocalyptic junkyard future to scavenge for food and petrol. Warner Bros. gave a big promo push to this improved, retitled sequel (Mad Max 2 in Australia) and turned it into a sizable international success. Most audiences were unaware there had been a previous Mad Max movie. By now Mel Gibson was poised for stardom and went from this into The Year of Living Dangerously. Followed by another sequel in 1985, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

A few awesome things about this recipe: 1) it's pretty fast 2) uses few ingredients that you might already have at home 3) it tastes rich, but it's really light 4) it's a one-pot wonder 5) I was testing for 2 servings and yielded at least 3 or 4... who doesn't like that?
Ready in: 20 minutes
You'll Need:
1 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
6 ounces raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 small yellow onion, chopped (or about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup corn kernels
1 cup instant brown rice
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (canned or natural; drained, if canned)
1/2 cup shredded chicken*
1/3 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1. Preheat the olive oil in a large non-stick soup pot over medium-high heat.
2. Pat the shrimp dry, then season with the paprika, salt and black pepper. Sear the shrimp for one minute on each side, or until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Add the onion and corn to the pot, and cook until light brown and soft. Add the rice, and cook for another minute or two to allow the rice to toast. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add the tomatoes plus one cup of warm water to the pot, and season with a little more salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring constantly until the rice absorbs the water. Add the chicken to the pot, and continue to add more water, about a quarter cup at a time, until the rice is tender.
5. Stir in the shrimp, then cover the pot for a minute or two. Stir in the peas and cheese, then serve. Garnish with cilantro.
*I added the chicken because I already had some left-over from last night. This is optional; you can substitute more shrimp.

Ritz-Carlton Montréal
A $150-million renovation brings this dazzling hotel into the 21st century, just in time for its 100th birthday. But not content with just a dolling up of its lobby and rooms, the Ritz is now sporting an architecturally impressive glass and steel addition. And while the Palm Court has a dazzling, elegant new look, it's the anticipation of Daniel Boulud's Maison Boulud that really has Quebec epicures atwitter. The multi-Michelin-starred chef arrives for the first time in Canada's Francophone capital, and the competition for tables in the ethereal courtyard is sure to be fierce. Another glamorous century awaits. 514.842.4212
La Vue
The Hotel Concorde La Fayette is that true rarity: an actual Parisian skyscraper. So it only made sense to make like a New York hotel and install a fabulous skyward nightlife spot. At the new 34th-floor La Vue, unapologetically mod interiors by Pier Luigi Copat are done up in sexy red, white, and purple, with an extravagant 11,000-glass-rod chandelier as the aesthetic centerpiece. And like NYC's Boom Boom Room, prodigious floor-to-ceiling windows off era staggeringly dramatic panorama of the French capital. Star barman Stephen Martin serves up an innovative drink menu, complemented by a selection of international bites, and regular live musical performances. It's already drawing a fashionable crown– making the inside view almost as dazzling.
L. Raphael Beauty Spa
If there was a Palme d'Or for relaxation, the new L.Raphael Beauty Spa at Hotel Martinez would snag it. Set near its private La Croisette beach along the azure sea, L.Raphael will make you relax while you relax. How luxurious is that? The 3,000-square-foot spa, located on the seventh fl oor of the dazzling hotel, off ers two saunas, a beauty salon, and nine treatment cabins. Guests can also match their toned bodies to their refreshed beauty under the sunset (or sunrise for the early birds) at the 24-hour gym opening to the hotel's terrace. The annual Cannes Film Festival is when the city really comes alive, and L.Raphael is no stranger to noteworthy celebs: It's their pre- and post-party haven! +22.214.171.124.73.00. l-raphael.com

The Assertor-class Star Dreadnought was 15 kilometers long and had a hull-shape similar to the Executor-class Star Dreadnought, being primarily shaped like an arrowhead.
On the top of the ship was a large, prominent ridge from the stern up to a few yards from the bow, containing several guns as well as the command bridge, slightly similar in appearance to the ridge of the Mandator- and Bellator-class dreadnoughts.
On the ventral side of the Assertor were located three ridges—one directly behind the reactor bulge and two to the sides facing the ship's bow.
Offensive and defensive systemsEdit
The class was equipped with a large amount of gun batteries mounted along the ridge of the ship, as well as the flat dorsal and ventral surfaces. Many of the batteries were positioned in patterned clusters.
Propulsion systemsEdit
The Assertor-class was designed with 28 aft thrusters for propulsion[4] and a hyperdrive for interstellar-range travel.[2] The main reactor jutted from the ventral side of the ship and was covered with armor plating, similar to the SFS I-a2b solar ionization reactor.
Bridge towerEdit
The Assertor's T-shaped bridge tower was similar in appearance to many other Star Destroyer and Super Star Destroyer designs built during the Imperial Era.


text: Just bought these Magnanni Monk Straps. Its a beautiful shoe but the sole is bothering me. I knew it had a rubber sole but now that I have it at home and am walking around in it...it just doesnt feel like a quality shoe, because the bottom feels almost like a stiff sneaker. I want it to have that stiff leather sound/feel that a sharp dress shoe should have (IMO). I took it to a great cobbler in my neighborhood and he said he could replace it with a leather sole. I realize I could be butchering the shoe if I do this. Would run me $80. Any thoughts?

American revolutionary leader George Washington has been voted the greatest enemy commander to face Britain, lauded for his spirit of endurance against the odds and the enormous impact of his victory.Read the rest here.
Making the case for Washington, historian Stephen Brumwell said the American War of Independence (1775-83) was "the worst defeat for the British Empire ever." "His personal leadership was crucial," he said.
Is it any wonder the British gave him this honor?
Against all odds, this man continued to fight.
Defeat after defeat, he didn't give up.
He continued the fight until his fortunes began to turn and the rest is history.
Where have our George Washington's gone?
When the time comes, will our generation have someone like him? Someone that we will follow into battle, to fight this ever growing oppression and punch tyranny in the face with a knock-out blow?
If you're out there 'George', we need you now more than ever.
In the meantime, YOU need to be ready, whether our 'George' shows up or not. We all need to be 'George' at any place, any time, against anyone.
This is going to require action.<----Read it.

Winter is back: Temperatures drop, winds pick up in southern Ontario
Thursday, January 31, 2013, 7:22 AM - It was looking and feeling a lot more like spring across southern Ontario over the past couple of days, but now reality has sunk back in as winter makes a rapid comeback
Residents in southern Ontario are trading in their shorts and t-shirts for winter coats and snow shovels. After two days of mild and even record breaking temperatures, winter has made a comeback across the region once again. "We had a series of Colorado Lows move through southern Ontario and what a lot of people are really taking note of is that we went from spring like temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday to then cold temperatures on Thursday with windchills into the minus double digits," says Dayna Vettese, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. Officials are warning residents that untreated roads, sidewalks and driveways will become slippery as temperatures fall below the freezing mark. In addition to the plunging temperatures, strong winds are forecast through the day on Thursday. "Winds began to steadily increase on Wednesday with peak gusts over 80 km/h recorded by the early morning hours on Thursday," says Gerald Cheng, another meteorologist at The Weather Network. Gusts in the Niagara and Sandbanks regions could reach 100 km/h on Thursday, prompting Environment Canada to issue a wind warning for the area.
"Once the front moves through and the winds change to a west or northwest direction, snow squalls will develop off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay," says Vettese. "Snowfall amounts are highly variable within snow squalls, but models are suggesting 10-15 cm through Thursday in the heaviest squalls. These squalls may continue into Friday as well." Reduced visibilities will be a concern with squalls and gusty winds, so motorists should adjust their driving habits accordingly. "It was pouring rain with thunderstorms just a few days ago and now we've got snow squalls, snow falling, strong winds and chilly conditions. Winter is definitely back," adds Vettese.

A systematic investigation of reactions that form silicon -carbon bonds between organic molecules and porous silicon surfaces
- Authors
- Publisher
- Purdue University
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
Reactions are discussed which are effective in partially transforming the hydride terminated surface of porous silicon samples into organic functionalized materials. Activation of the porous silicon surface toward unsaturated bonds leads to silicon-carbon bond formation, either by hydrosilylation or by the in situ generation of carbanion nucleophiles. By systematic exploration of reactivity patterns, the mechanisms for the surface reactions are evaluated, and the means for optimization of the functionalization process may become apparent. Lewis acid mediated hydrosilylations use the organic phase soluble catalyst EtAlCl2 to hydrosilylate alkenes and alkynes. Electrografting reactions on porous silicon use a nonaqueous electrolyte solution of an alkyne and an applied current to form silicon-carbon bonds; two different surface terminations are possible using the same alkyne solution; anodic current gives alkyl surfaces while cathodic currents give alkynes directly bound to porous silicon surfaces. Hydrosilylation reactions on photoluminescent porous silicon can be driven directly by exposure to white light. There is no solution or surface precedent for this reaction, for which an exciton-mediated nucleophilic attack mechanism is proposed. Another hydrosilylation reaction mediated by carbocations is described in a cursory fashion. ^

Posted by monkey779 (as ),
I wanted to say how impressed I was with the care and treatment I received whilst attending the treatment centre at QMC Nottingham. I was receiving pain relieving injections for my painful back and I was shown such kindness and respect by all staff. The consultant was so approachable and appeared concerned and interested in relieving my pain.
They were running late but they did apologise and informed me why which was good. I would recommend the treatment centre to others. Well done to all the staff.

On our trip we only planned on staying in Las Cruces one day. We caught a stomach flu at a different hotel and became so sick we had to check back into another hotel (Comfort Suites). We were treated so well and kind at the Comfort Suites. We ended up staying there for 2 additional nights....because we weren't ready to get back on the road...and we were treated so well. The staff went out of their way to give us extra towels, change out sheets more regularly, and make sure we were doing well. Though we got sick and had to stay longer than we wanted, we were pleased to discovered Comfort Suites in Las Cruces NM. The kindness shown to us has made us want to use comfort suites all the time now.
Thank you Comfort Suites of Las Cruces

Review Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D
Not content to let Nintendo hog all the 3D remake fun, Konami is stepping in with a portable update of their own. This time, the game in question is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the beloved prequel to the entire Metal Gear saga. One of the original tech demos on display when the 3DS was initially unveiled two years past, Snake Eater has been given a full fledged release on Nintendo's handheld.
At its core, Snake Eater 3D is a pixel-for-pixel port of the original title, featuring all the stealth and sneaking skullduggery of the game you know and love. In addition, the re-release features a number of enhancements, the most obvious being the updated 3D visuals. Of course, the port to a handheld has meant that Konami has had to make a number of concessions as well.
Do these changes make it worthwhile to reenlist with the FOX Unit? Hit the break to find out.
Let's be frank here: Snake Eater 3D is a remake of arguably the best entry in the Metal Gear series, not to mention one of the most highly regarded games of all time. That being said, the core game still stacks up after all these years, and the elements that survived the transition to the 3DS are incredibly high quality.
Serving as a prequel to the rest of the saga, the player takes on the role of Naked Snake, Solid Snake's genetic father and the man who would one day become Big Boss. Set during the 1960's with a distinct Cold War era spy motif, Snake must sneak behind enemy lines in the USSR to prevent a rogue group's aspirations of acquiring a long-range nuclear weapons platform and igniting thermonuclear war.
The game's plot is absolutely fantastic. Befitting its spy-thriller theme, Snake Eater is full of twists, turns, and double crosses. Despite its reliance on cutscenes and extended transceiver conversations, Snake Eater remains interesting to the very last plot twist. This is accomplished through a set of interesting characters that grow on you quickly, thanks in no small part to an excellent cast of voice actors, whose work remains untarnished in the port.
Snake Eater features the same sneaking and stealth-based gameplay the series is known for, with the industrial settings of previous entries dropped in favor of an expansive jungle environment. You'll still do a fair bit of skulking around corridors and base interiors, but the bulk of the action takes place out in the wild.
Beyond keeping Snake healthy, you can increase your survivability by being proactive about your camouflage. Suiting the jungle theme, you can swap out Snake's duds for more appropriate colors that allow you to better blend in with the environment. The 3DS offers an additional feature on this front: using the 3DS camera, you can snap a photo and use it to make a texture for Snake to wear as camo. The game will analyze the colors in the photo and adjust Snake's camo index accordingly. It's fun for a few minutes, but ultimately, the feature is a giant gimmick that you'll soon forget about. Still, if you ever wanted to see what Big Boss would look like covered in Nyan Cats, now's your chance.
In addition to sneaking around, Snake will often be pitted up against a number of legendary boss battles, which serve as the highlight of the game. Some of these fights have a surprising amount of depth, and you can always glean tips and advice for fighting them by talking to your various contacts via transceiver, which has also been given easy touch-screen access. Your companions have a lot to say, and the quality voice work makes it a joy to listen to their conversations.
Unfortunately, Snake Eater Espansioni Memoria Nintendo R4 3ds is far from a perfect port, and that becomes evident the moment you gain control of Snake. Major sacrifices had to be made adapting the controls to the 3DS, and the results are less than ideal. Movement is performed with the Circle Pad, while the face buttons control your camera. The controls for interaction, equipment swapping, and stance changing are all mapped to the D-Pad. Yes, it's every bit as awkward as it sounds.
Thankfully, the game supports the Circle Pad Pro, which alleviates a good bit of these control problems, but doesn't fix them entirely. Camera control falls to the right Circle Pad, freeing up the face buttons to perform their intended functions. Equipment swapping falls to the shoulder buttons, with the accessory's extra set mapped to aiming and shooting. Despite its cumbersome appearance, the Circle Pad Pro actually feels quite comfortable in practice. Unfortunately, the game seems to have been designed largely under the assumption that you'll be playing with it, and the default control scheme just doesn't cut it. If you're playing without the accessory, consider this review to be an entire star lower.
Even though the Circle Pad Pro essentially gives you the same number of buttons as a PlayStation 2 controller, Konami has seen fit to rearrange the controls from the original, with somewhat mixed results. Raising your weapon and firing are handled with the shoulder buttons, which is an improvement.
However, rather than being able to quickly slip from traditional auto-aim to first-person with a button toggle, an additional over-the-shoulder third-person aiming mode has been added that feels largely out of place. Even worse, you're forced to cycle through the three aiming modes by pressing a face button, which feels awkward and kills the quick transition to first-person for precise aiming. Going into first-person mode centers your view on where Snake is looking rather than where your camera is pointed, which further complicates the process and makes quick aiming exceedingly difficult. At least Snake can now move while in first person mode, which is a small improvement, but doesn't make up for the awkwardness of the aiming scheme.
Control isn't the only place where the title stumbles – the visuals in Snake Eater 3D are inconsistent at best. When the game is firing on all cylinders, the graphics are downright impressive: textures are decently detailed, the environments are immersive, and character models are expressive. However, the framerate has a tendency to dive quite frequently, especially during cutscenes and intense firefights. The former isn't too much of a concern, but it is a bit jarring. The latter, however, makes firing any sort of automatic weapon feel awkward. It's difficult to aim precisely – even with the circle pad – when the action starts to jitter. As if to compensate, Konami added labeled circles of various colors to indicate feedback when an attack strikes an enemy, shifting the focus of gun battles from precision aiming into "spray until you start to see red rings."
As far as the 3D effect goes, this is another mixed bag. Most of the environments look quite good in 3D, and it does help add a layer of immersion. It's especially fun to watch the game's many cinematic moments unfold with the enhanced effect. Sadly, the game doesn't seem to make any real effort to utilize the 3D in any significant way. Frustratingly, the 3D effect is disabled during first-person aiming – one of the places where an ability to better gauge depth would have been incredibly useful. One might think this was a clever way to represent the actual sight provided by Big Boss's signature eyepatch, except that the effect is present the whole game, long before Snake dons his signature accessory. Whether this is a problem with the port or a technical limitation of the 3DS itself, it's definitely unfortunate.
The sound design, however, has not suffered in the least. In addition to the aforementioned quality voice acting, the game is filled with wonderful ambient noises and satisfying weapon sounds. Stalking around through the jungle will fill your ears with all the immersive noises you'd expect from such an environment, and the sound quality is quite high. This is all capped off by an impressive musical score, from the famous "Snake Eater" theme to driving compositions during action sequences.
Of course, if you decide that having a 3D version of Naked Snake's mission on a handheld justifies the price and the tradeoffs the game makes in the name of a portable port, then it's not as if there isn't a lot to like about Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D. Though sacrifices were made, at the end of the day, this is still a version of one of the greatest games ever made that you can take with you wherever you go. And that's definitely worth something.

Indians are much more at ease with the spoken than with the written word. They speak eloquently and with evident pleasure, but their writing is often hasty and careless. It is of course true that vast numbers of Indians lack the capacity to use the written word altogether. But there are many others who do have that capacity, and my purpose here is to draw attention to the ways in which they use and misuse it. The most common way of misusing it is to write at excessive and unnecessary length.
I am aware that there are first-rate poets, playwrights and novelists in several Indian languages who write clearly and elegantly, and even economically. But I am not concerned here with individual talent. My concern is with attitudes to writing common among those who have to use the written word in the course of their ordinary work, such as scholars, journalists, civil servants and even judges. Here there is remarkable laxity not only in the way things get written but also in allowing them to get into print. Reading and writing were known in India well before they were known in the West, yet our basic attitudes are those of an oral rather than a written culture.
Indians excel with the spoken word. Anyone who belongs to that large and ill-defined category known as public intellectuals in India can speak at any length and on almost any subject. Not only that: he can speak without reference to any notes and often without much application of the mind. Western academics are often struck by the fact that their Indian counterparts can speak fluently and effortlessly, if not always faultlessly, without consulting notes.
I may illustrate the contrast from my experience of two lectures that I gave at two premier universities, each of which was chaired by the vice-chancellor of the university concerned. The first lecture was at the University of Cambridge, where the vice-chancellor was a distinguished medical scientist. He introduced me briefly and, after I had concluded, also thanked me briefly. As we were walking out, he told me that he had greatly enjoyed my lecture. When I remonstrated that he was merely being polite, he quietly took out the notes he had made during the lecture which ran into three pages: he had come to the lecture to listen rather than to speak.
At the other lecture in the Indian university, the vice-chancellor arrived 35 minutes late while the speaker and the audience waited. Having arrived late, he embarked on a lengthy and eloquent speech on the challenges facing the country and the need for teachers and students to rise up to them. By the time he sat down and I began my lecture, on whose preparation I had spent more than a month, it became evident that he and most of the audience had lost interest in it. As to taking notes, here no self-respecting vice-chancellor takes notes at a lecture given by a mere professor.
Indian academics like to say that the defects of academic prose in India are due to the use of a foreign language. This is only a small part of the story. The more important part is the lack of patience and care in the writing. If Indians find it a struggle to write in English, why do they write at such immoderate length' The problem is not lack of facility with the language but lack of measure and discipline which escapes notice more easily in speech than in writing. The same lack of measure and discipline, and the same excessive length may be found in our judicial as in our academic prose. Commenting on the inordinate length of our Supreme Court judgments, Nani Palkhivala had once observed that they give clear evidence of the Indian preoccupation with eternity and infinity.
Indians of standing do not like being interrupted while they are talking, but they do not seem to mind when what they have written is revised or even rewritten. Sham Lal, under whose tutelage I began writing for the newspapers, would tell me about his tribulations with academic writers. He took pains to offer the columns of the editorial pages of The Times of India to distinguished academics. But what they sent him was often carelessly and badly written. When he revised and sometimes rewrote their pieces, they rarely objected; perhaps they did not notice.
A senior colleague once sent me an advance copy of a book review. Since the author of the book had been his teacher as well as mine, he wanted to make sure that the review would not cause offence. What struck me about the review was not that it was critical but that it was 27 pages in length. When I pointed out that it was far too long to fit into the Sunday newspaper for which it was written, he agreed and added genially that the editors would reduce it to the required length. It is not simply that I knew that the review was far too long; he also knew it.
A great English historian wrote that reading and writing are solitary pursuits while talking is a way of being gregarious. The Indian is gregarious by nature. He finds it hard to be solitary unless he is a sanyasi or a poet. From childhood he grows up in the company of others: relatives of many different kinds, friends and neighbours. He is discouraged from being by himself, and made to believe that being by oneself is a way of being selfish and arrogant. In adult life, if he achieves any standing at all, he is continuously surrounded by others. As he grows in stature, his visitors grow in number and variety.
During my long period of service in the University of Delhi, I often wondered how vice-chancellors, deans and principals ever found time to think, since they were constantly surrounded by people. Though my experience of professional life in the West is limited, it is difficult not to notice the contrast. It is not that professionals there do not have to spend time in meetings or do not enjoy committee work, but they are also mindful of the time they need to be by themselves. Successful Indian academics complain endlessly of the time they have to spend on meetings and committees, but their complaints need not be taken seriously. They relish nothing more than being surrounded by people before whom they can hold forth; what they cannot bear is being by themselves.
Being able to write clearly and well is not just a matter of intelligence or even facility with language. Above all, it requires patience and care, and emotional investment of a certain kind. Where so much is invested in being gregarious, the concentration of effort required for serious writing naturally suffers. Obviously, there are individuals who are masters of both the spoken and the written word. Such individuals are outstanding, and are therefore not confined by their circumstances but are able to rise above them. That apart, there appear to be marked differences of general orientation between cultures. Some cultures tolerate careless, disjointed and vacuous writing while others discourage it.

Inspiration can be hard to find. Maybe it's in a quote, or watching someone do something, or staring at an object long enough. Maybe it's a flash of an idea that suddenly hits your brain. Than a poem, a story, a song - it all comes pouring out. That's the hard thing for writers though, when the inspiration stops.
I had been having a hard time with editing my story. It's called Eyes Wide Shut. Let me give you a snippet of the beginning.
The book was open, resting on my knees. My fingers squeezed on the sides of the pages. I glared at the book for a second and then slowly read the first sentence. Nothing happened. So I continued reading, my eyes gliding over the printed words. Then it started. I felt the tingling feeling as small pictures began to grow larger, less blurring. I could see the servants and the enemies, the old families fighting while their youngsters secretly fell in love. The descriptions started to wrap themselves around my mind, weaving pictures of faraway lands, of majestic characters, of happy endings.
I slammed the book shut, almost catching my nail. My eyes swiveled around my room, as if I was looking for a witness. I couldn't allow myself to be lifted up higher and higher by those intriguing images and then be dropped back into reality. Do authors really understand the power that nestles in their words?
It was another failed attempt at reading my English book for class. I would rather fail or scrape a pass than be immersed in unattainable worlds.
It's always hard to keep motivated, keep writing when you're not entirely sure where the story is going. My story is about a girl called Avril, and her younger sister, who finds themselves kidnapped in China after a horrific terrorist attack. They face a lot of consequences, but together, can they manage to escape and return home?
One major problem with me writing this is that I've never been to China, never been in a terrorist attack, and never been kidnapped. But other people have. Whether in fiction or real life, they have.
So I've been researching all I can, reading all I can and gathering as much information as possible. Today, after church a man came and he lived in China for six years. Somehow the conversation turned to my story and he gave me lots of tips and new viewpoints and ideas to think about. And he told me what China is like, and the appearance to an outside. If I was rich I might go and visit myself, but hey, that's not going to happen :P
However, I did find a good source of inspiration. Let me know what yours is? And thanks for reading thus far. Turned out to be a long post than expected!

Fair Wage Hypothesis, Foreign Capital Inflow and Skilled-unskilled Wage Inequality in the Presence of Agricultural Dualism
The paper develops a four-sector general equilibrium model where the fair wage hypothesis is valid and there is agricultural dualism for analyzing the consequence of an inflow of foreign capital on the skilled-unskilled wage inequality and the unemployment of skilled labour in a developing economy. The unskilled workers are fully employed but there is imperfection in the market for unskilled labour. On the contrary, the skilled wage is set by the firms by minimizing the unit cost of skilled labour and their efficiency depends on the relative income distribution and the unemployment rate. The analysis finds that an inflow of foreign capital worsens the relative wage inequality but lowers the unemployment of skilled labour. It provides an alternative theoretical foundation to the empirical finding that inflows of foreign capital might have produced unfavourable effect on the wage inequality in the developing countries during the liberalized regime by increasing the relative demand for skilled labour.

So I just got a phone, and the girl I like (and which I know likes me, she said so face to face!) and I text her and ask her to hang out like go swimming or something and she doesn't text me back...I am really confused, because I had assumed she would like to hang out every now and then...
Most Helpful Girl
maybe she didn't get it? or maybe she didn't have time to respond to your text?
sometimes I'm lazy and don't know what to say when someone texts me (yeah it's bad I know) but ..eh. it's not that I don't like the person or don't want to hang out it's just that I don't feel like responding at that very moment.
also, girls prefer to be asked in person to hang out or via phone call, not text. It's ok if it's like a group outing or something to make sure everyone gets the invite and know who to text, but not to set up a date. It seems highly impersonal to have a date set up via text. good luck! :)00|00|0

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said it lost 560,000 barrels of crude oil between January and May this year.
At an average crude oil price of $38 per barrel and a budgeted exchange rate of N197/$, according numbers obtained from the NNPC, the Nigerian treasury was denied N4.1 billion within the five months' period.
It also lost 109 million litres of petroleum products within the period.
The Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, who made the disclosure during a courtesy visit to the Commandant General of the Nigerian Security Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Abdudullahi Gani Muhammadu, in Abuja, said the corporation suffered 1,447 incidents of pipeline breaches in the same period.
In a statement by NNPC spokesman, Garba Deen Muhammadu, the GMD revealed that natural gas supply to power plants had also been impacted resulting in a drop from 1,400 million standard cubic feet of gas per day to below 700 mmscfd and a drop in power generation to 2,500 megawatts from 3,000mw owing directly or indirectly to the impact on the pipelines.

My landlord is in financial crisis because he keeps buying properties. He says its our duty to pay him more money because he is struggling. My mom and I are on food stamps and badger care. We have no lease either. Now he is saying we have to pay him 1000 dollars from our taxes just because he wants it. He says we are "waaayyy" behind on rent. Which isn't true, we been paying on time since we came up with a rent price. Now he wants us to pay utilities even though he never mentioned it 7 months ago. The reason is because HE can't pay it and we should put it in our name. I was so pissed because it is a whole house and 2 other tenants live in the building. The downstairs neighbor controls the heat and the electric/ water is all connected. Why should only WE pay (he wants us to pay all of it)? (Maybe because we don't have a lease and the other neighbors do). Now he says we aren't cooperating and we have to get out in two weeks (he says over the phone NO COURT PAPERs!) and that we are confusing and should grow up. This man is a psycho! Any advice? Doesn't he have to get an eviction notice?

No one can (or should) give you legal advice over the internet. But here is a suggestion: Contact your state's Attorney General's Office, and ask to speak to someone in the consumer protection division about a landlord/tenant issue. They may be able to help you understand your rights.00|00|0

The goal of this project is to use a fluorescent protein FRET-based assay to screen for selective small molecule inhibitors of the SUMO protease SENP1. This enzyme is uniquely upregulated in advanced prostate cancer and plays a key role in promoting malignant proliferation by promoting the transcriptional activity of the androgen receptor and suppressing the cellular senescence program. SENP1 is therefore an attractive and novel therapeutic target in advanced prostate cancer, an incurable disease that is the second leading cause of death for males in America. Despite its importance, there are no reported small molecule inhibitors of SENP1. The available activity-based probes are large derivatives of SUMO proteins unsuitable for drug development. A focused HTS campaign is a logical step to address this shortcoming. We propose to use a sensitive, simple and robust FRET based SENP1 assay we have developed and perform a high throughput screen to identify novel classes of compounds that are effective inhibitors of SENP1. Cell permeable selective inhibitors of SENP1 would be powerful tools to identify and manipulate the SUMOylation levels of SENP1 substrates in intact cells. They would allow a direct assessment of the functional impact of SENP1 on specific targets such as the androgen receptor. This is important because although RNA knockdown of individual SENPs is possible, the long-term nature of such experiments makes it difficult to evaluate acute changes in SUMO modification without compensatory cellular mechanisms. This class of compounds would overcome such problems. Furthermore, the pharmacologic manipulation of SENP1 activity will allow a clear assessment of the potential of SENP1 based therapeutic approaches for prostate cancer. To achieve these goals we propose as our first aim to implement a high-throughput screen to identify and confirm hit compounds. This will involve a primary screen and a tandem confirmatory screen using an orthogonal assay. As a second aim, we will optimize and characterize initial hits in order to identify potent and selective SENP1 inhibitors. To this end, we will use an iterative process of structure/activity analysis, coupled with multiple counter-screens using assays for related SUMO proteases. In a third aim, we will examine the ability of the best candidate compounds to regulate SENP1 activity in intact cells and to characterize their effects on the viability of normal and transformed prostate cell lines. We believe that the unique function and regulation of SENP1 in prostate cancer coupled with its favorable properties for drug development make a compelling case for targeting this enzyme for the discovery and development of small molecule inhibitors. Such tools can be very valuable to understand the broad biological function of SENP1 and SUMOylation and as leads for the potential development of novel prostate cancer therapeutics.
Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America and accounts for a quarter of all cancer diagnoses in men. Advanced prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men and accounts for nearly 10 % of deaths due to cancer. This proposal focuses on a new approach to combat advanced prostate cancer and is based on our findings that cells control the activity of many proteins, including the androgen receptor, by tagging them with a small protein called SUMO. In prostate cancer, this inhibitory tagging is compromised because tumor cells produce high amounts of a specific factor or enzyme called SENP1 that removes the SUMO tag from the androgen receptor as well as from the factors that control the normal aging process of cells. The goal of this project is to develop potent and selective small molecule inhibitors of SENP1 as leads for the development of novel prostate cancer treatments.

Continued from Page 1
VanDam targeted main lake points and secondary points, where bass were holding and only occasionally going into feeding frenzies on schools of large gizzard shad."I cranked that bait real fast," he said. "I was just trying to find a point that had a little irregularity on it, a little flat spot or something that was different than anything else in that area."
Rocks, brush piles and, when the lake is high, flooded willow trees are the main fish holding structures in Grand Lake. Mike McClelland won this tournament last year, when the lake was lower, by concentrating on brush piles.
There was no doubt VanDam was focused on rocks this week. He averaged boating about six rocks per day, some that pulled as hard as a four-pound bass."The rocks are real porous here, so they tend to hang on to a crankbait," VanDam said.Rocks are at times important for attracting gizzard shad, according to Gene Gilliland, senior fisheries biologist for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife. Gizzard shad feed mainly on plankton.
"They also eat the benthic goop on the bottom of the lake," Gilliland said. "You'll see them grazing on rocks at times."
Gilliland said bright sunlight tends to concentrate schools of gizzard shad. The shad disperse at night, so low light conditions tend to spread them out more.It was Saturday's mostly overcast, often rainy skies that caused VanDam's only hiccup. His limit weighed "only" 16-8 that day. Although Sunday's weigh-in was drenched by a heavy thunderstorm, the anglers fished under mostly sunny skies that day.
VanDam pulled his crankbaits mainly through water depths of 4 to 15 feet. The two different crankbait models and the two different strength lines allowed him to bang the rocks at all depths within his target range.
"The Series 5 is a little bit smaller bait," VanDam said. "It runs up to about 10 feet deep, depending on what size line you use. The Series 6 will run up to about 15 feet deep."Heavier strength and, therefore, thicker line makes a crankbait run shallower than lighter strength, thinner line. On the shallower-running Series 5, VanDam would cast it on 17-pound fluorocarbon line in 4- to 7-foot depths. Then he'd pick up a rod that had 12-pound line on the reel and a Series 5 tied on the line when he wanted to probe rocks 7 to 10 feet deep. He used that same set up on the Series 6 deeper-running lure to more effectively work those 10- to 15-foot depths — 17-pound test for depths of 10 to 13 feet; 12-pound test for depths of 13 to 15 feet deep.Another critical part of VanDam's arsenal was the hooks on his crankbaits. You want sharp hooks in any fishing situation, and it's difficult for them to remain sharp when you're banging them off and, sometimes, into rocks."I probably changed 50 hooks on my crankbaits this week," VanDam said. "I'm using a new Mustad hook. It's really heavy duty, almost a saltwater hook. It's real stiff. The bigger diameter wire seemed to hold the fish a lot better."It was one of the keys. I had a lot of fish that were barely hooked. When the hooks would get dinged up and dulled from the rocks, I'd just put another (treble hook) on there.
One other key weapon, according to VanDam, was a Biosonix Fish Activator with BSX sound technology. Through a patented underwater speaker, this equipment claims to put out sound vibrations mimicking distressed baitfish and live bait being attacked by predator fish, like largemouth bass feeding on gizzard shad.VanDam's been using this for awhile. He credits it for helping him win the 2005 Bassmaster Classic."I kept my Biosonix on a real active shad pattern," said VanDam of his technique at Grand Lake. "Basically, what it does is help bring the shad up. And when bass hear that sound of other bass eating shad, I think they get more aggressive.
"There was one time during the first day of the tournament, I sat there and caught fish on every cast for about 40 minutes. You can't do that unless you can keep them active. I'm convinced Biosonix is one of the key things that does that."But VanDam's main weapon is always his level of activity. No one makes more casts than VanDam during a day of tournament fishing, especially when he's on a strong crankbait bite like he was at Grand Lake.
"If I caught a bass or two, then I'd really work that area thoroughly," he said. "A lot of times I'd sit there and make the same cast 30 or 40 times, then bam, catch one. You had to make these fish react."And as he proved again last week, nobody can make fish react like three-time BASS Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam.

Congress leaders gave a fitting reply to TRS remarks predicting the defeat of 80% of the Telangana Ministers in 2014 General Elections. Speaking to media persons, DK Aruna shot back: "TRS have been claiming victory based on surveys and exit polls. But, who is gonna win will be decided only on May 16th! What about the cracks to KCR's fort? TDP won 4 seats in Gajwel and KCR who claims to be the first chief minister of Telangana state is going to be defeated. What will be the answer of TRS for it?".
When enquired about the prospects of her party in General Elections, The former minister expressed confidence that Congress will be putting much better show than Municipal, ZPTC & MPTC polls.
Meanwhile, Danam Nagender alleges KCR has been blackmailing Industrialists, Settlers and Employees. Stating that TRS will be in 2nd place in the MPs & MLAs tally, He asserts Congress is committed for the safety and security of everyone living in the Telangana region.

We've moved house thrice, I'm now well into my fourth job at a car workshop, we've made a heap of friends, and actually lost a few "friends" in recent times. I've been financially burned in a 'business deal' gone sour, to the tune of a couple of hundred bucks. I guess any form of entrepreneurial spirit shall take a backseat for the time being.
As some of you may have read or already know, we've 'owned' our own HDB in sg. We thought back then that we had "settled down". The phrase is usually thrown around with the various meanings such as marriage, having kids, having your own place to call home... and usually a combination of the above. But now that we finally own our home, the feeling is different. (Okay, technically the bank owns our home for now...)
Having recently come from a place where the average person struggles to pay for a public housing apartment on a 99-year lease, and people speak of "landed property" or condominiums with either great envy or great pride (depending on whether one aspires or actually owns), it's a strange feeling to have purchased a house with its own land. Strictly speaking, our home is a "unit", which shares certain components with the neighbouring house, such as a driveway, and part of our carport uses the neighbour's home as structural support. But while there is common property that is shared, there is what is completely ours, all 325 square metres of it (land area being an approximation from Google Earth measurements). The house itself is completely separate from any neighbours'.
All these, from a humble beginning in sg. Zero financial contribution from either of our parents. No inheritance monies. No get-rich-quick or dodgy schemes. Just a bit of hard work, a bit of luck, a heap of blessings (for those who believe), and a few good decisions made at critical junctures. Ignoring the naysayers who have their noses in the air and their heads in the clouds, but are blind to reality (such as the fact that there are decent places among the western suburbs in Melbourne.
Of course, it also took a strong push from our birth country, to rediscover the wandering tendencies of our forefathers, and to make a "leap of faith" as what others like to call it.
In hindsight, every trip I took out of sg, every place I've made an effort to visit, was in search of home. I remember discussing the feasibility of Thailand as an alternative to Sg, with A. An exercise in futility because Thailand doesn't really rock our boat any more than sg did. But every option that crossed our path had to be considered.
In recent months, the desire to wander has subsided somewhat. The first weekends after moving were spent doing all the little touch ups that the new house needed. There's still work to be done, but now we have time to relax and enjoy home as it is. There are still many places to visit in Australia, and even just within Victoria State, but those can wait. Maybe we won't visit most of these places after all, just like many of the locals we've met who never ventured much beyond the city and their home suburbs.
Finally, after ten months, we are home.

|Configurations & Class loading
|Sat, 15 Oct 2005 11:25:45 GMT
Hi, I have just added a new attribute and two new elements to each type of configurations, which give us more control on class loading: * the inverseClassloading attribute can be used to inverse the standard class loading delegation model. This means that class loading requests are first delegated to this configuration and then to its parents; * the hidden-classes elements can be used to define classes, which should be hidden from the configuration. For instance: <hidden-classes> <filter>org.apache.commons.logging</filter> </hidden-classes> hides commons-logging from a configuration. * the non-overridable-classes elements can be used to define classes, which should not be redefined by a configuration reversing the delegation model. A configuration inherits the non-overridable filters of its parents. I think that this is the short term solution that Dain was talking about to prevent problems while running applications using some Geronimo dependencies. Also, it seems that the cl architecture does not support this scenario: an EAR defines an EJB and RAR modules; the EJB module defines and uses class A v1; the RAR module defines and uses class A v2. As A v1 and A v2 are added to the same configuration, the first version being added hides the over one. As this type of modules are rather weird, it may not be so important to support them at this stage. Thanks, Gianny
