U-Haul Names Toronto As Top 2009 Canadian Destination
U-Haul Names Toronto As Top 2009 Canadian Destination
PHOENIX (April 2, 2010) — U-Haul International, Inc. today released the results of the annual 2009 UHaul National Migration Trend Report titled "The 2009 Top 25 Canadian Destination Cities." According to moving data reflective of nationwide statistics for calendar year 2009, Toronto was ranked No. 1 for the eighth year in a row, while Calgary came in at second for the sixth year in a row. Montreal took third and moved up from No. 4, with Edmonton dropping to fourth place from No. 3. Ottawa, Vancouver, London, Hamilton, Surrey and Mississauga rounded out the top 10.
"Since 1955, U-Haul has built a long and proud history of helping families move and store their belongings in Canada," stated U-Haul President of Phoenix Operations John "J.T." Taylor. "Now more than ever, we are proud to offer Canadian families who need moving services the increased convenience of our locations, which makes for a shorter distance to travel when moving. This not only makes their move easier but also has the positive effect of reducing the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere." The ranking reflects destinations for movers traveling more than 50 miles and considers every city in the country, regardless of size. However, the data is not stated as a percentage of population and is not reflective of overall growth.

Young students revisit Tiananmen protests of 1989
On a humid Saturday afternoon, the cool, cramped June 4th Memorial Museum, the first permanent exhibition space dedicated to the Tiananmen protests of 1989, was buzzing with the inquisitive young.world Updated: Jun 04, 2014 01:20 IST
Video: 25 years on Tiananmen violence still echoes
The museum walls are plastered end-to-end with photos, posters, newspaper clippings and comments about the event. In a tiny corner with chairs for about 10 people, a documentary was on about the Tiananmen Mothers, a group of mothers who lost their children to the protests, many of them shot dead by People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers.
Footage of student leaders roaring into their microphones about democracy and freedom played on another television; the documentary, The Tank Man, was playing on a computer.
The museum is barely 800 square feet in size but has a collection of "exhibits, artefacts and over 1000 archival, digital or film based material". It was on June 4, 1989, that army made their final move into the Tiananmen Square to clear it of the demonstrators, allegedly killing hundreds in the process.
One exhibit is a particularly brutal reminder: a motorcycle helmet with a bullet hole.
At the counter, T-shirts, mugs, CDs and USB drives – containing much information about the protests – were for sale. "We want visitors to buy the (computer) drives and take them everywhere and also to the Mainland," a volunteer said.
Located in a narrow lane in downtown HK, the museum, initiated by the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (The HK Alliance) opened end of April weeks before the 25th year of the massacre. It attracts about 200 visitors daily, many of them students born after 1989.
"I wanted to know more about the incident. I knew some people died. I wanted to know how and why," bespectacled engineering student, Alexander Ho said.
His University friend, Yoko Tam, said after the museum opened, a lot of information on the protests can now be found at one place.
"Most Chinese people have a very blurred remembrance that something happened on June 4 – especially if they are young," Lee Cheuk-yan, Legislative Council member and chairman of the Alliance, told HK Time Out after the museum opened, adding: "It's a vacuum that we are trying to fill."
The situation is markedly different in HK compared to the Mainland, say in city like Beijing. The younger generation on the Mainland have little or no idea about what happened 25 years ago in the heart of their city.
"We have friends from the Mainland studying with us. Most have no idea about the events," Christ Hui, another student said.
That's precisely what the Communist Party of China (CPC) leadership wants – to scrub clean any memory of the crackdown from the public narrative. And that's what this museum and those behind are fighting against.

Zion National Park is one of the most popular parks in all of America. They are anticipating a record 4 million visitors by year's end, which would be an increase from last year's 3.66 million visitors. The problem is, their facilities and the land can't handle that influx.
RELATED: 5 alternatives to the most crowded national parks in America
According to a news release, Zion National Park is considering a limit on the number of visitors that can use the park during peak times.
"During the height of the summer season it is now common for visitors to wait in long lines to enter the park and board the park shuttle," the release states. "This increase in visitation stresses park infrastructure, can degrade natural and cultural resources and adversely affects the visitors's park experience."

To help with this overwhelming increase, they are beginning a Visitor Use Management Plan. They are currently asking the public for input via this survey, and are intent on devising plans that aim to balance visitor use with measures that will help prevent negative impact on the land.
Park spokeswoman Aly Baltrus told The Salt Lake Union Tribune, "We haven't found the perfect answer. I think it's going to take a lot of little things."

The late Paul Walker is someone that we will always hold near and dear to our hearts. Fortunately, his family tree shares the same talented, gorgeous genes that the actor posessed, and the world will get to see these attributes in action when Paul's brother, Cody, stars alongside Nicolas Cage in a dramatic World War II film titled, USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage.
Cody first stepped on the scene after serving as his late brother's stand-in for the latest sequel of The Fast and the Furious franchise. Following his help in completing the movie, the licensed paramedic revealed his desire to pursue a career in acting.
His dream is finally coming true, as this will mark his first major role in a feature film. Cody is extremely stoked to be playing one of Cage's crewmen and has constantly posted backstage photos from the set on his Facebook account.
The movie will recount the infamous sinking of USS Indianapolis ship after delivering parts for the first atomic bombs. Subsequently, the crew endured monumental struggles and of the 1,196 men that were aboard, only 317 survived.
USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage is set to release over the 2016 Memorial Day weekend.
My family and I truly appreciate the support we have received during this difficult time. One of the many things I admired about my brother was his genuine desire to help others in need. As many of you know, in 2010 @paulwalker founded @reachoutww, a disaster relief organization. It is with great honor that I have decided to join the ROWW team as Brand Manager. I look forward to working with like-minded individuals and partners to ensure ROWW continues to aid those in need in the years to come. As Paul would say 'when you put good will out there, it's amazing what can be accomplished.' We can all make a difference in this world and I am honored to join the ROWW team in fulfilling my brother's legacy and ensure that the good my brother did lives on.

Kennen Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I. Introduction
Hello! Welcome back Mobafire! I'm demonlordraiden, author of Lulu, the Fae Machinegun and The Mutha' F*cking Snake in Your Mutha' F*cking Lane, and I welcome you to my third guide!
I.I. Build Summary
Allow me to begin with a song (I will put a couple of these in here XD)
/league-of-legends/champion/kennen-49 AC/DC. With the right build (a mostly Ability Power Build in my opinion), Kennen becomes a killing machine fueled by pure lightning.
I.II. Pros/Cons
Hits Like a Lightning Bolt
Makes Your Enemies Scream Louder Than Thunder (See Below)
Moves Un-Godly Fast with Lightning Rush, Being Perfect for Chases and Escapes
No Mana!
Haven't Found Any :)
II. Pre-Game Preparation
As I have said before (and will say again), Kennen (like ANY OTHER CHAMPION) requires Masteries and Runes to be fully effective.
II.I. Masteries
Kennen's Masteries are the first Pure Set I've ever used. 30/0/0
II.I.I. Offense
Summoner's Wrath
improves Ignite and Ghost if you choose to use it.
Mental Power makes Electrical Storm and Slicing Maelstrom to deal more damage. Anytime I see Ability Power up, I will say "MP" and move on, redirecting you here.
Alacrity makes Marks of the Storm generate more often, allowing Electrical Storm to be used more. Anytime I see Attack Speed up, I will say "A" and move on, redirecting you here.
Sorcery was only takes to get to it's upgrade :D
Weapon Expertise allows for more Penetration, allowing MOAR DAMAGE!
Arcane Knowledge allows our abilities to Penetrate, allowing MOAR DAMAGE!
Havoc help all of our DPS.
Blast is "MP."
Sunder , because I love to penetrate nooblords...yes, like that.
Archmage is "MP."
Executioner is godly. F*cking godly. Best mastery. This plus Lightning Rush allows for plenty of pwnage.
II.II. Runes
I'm gonna make my life easy, all of Kennen's Runes are Leveled Ability Power, because you end up with a higher Ability Power this way.
II.III. Summoner Spells
Ignite is my buddy, dealing DoT.
Flash is for teh ninja, allowing for saving of you.
Ghost, which allocates extra Movement Speed.
III. In-Game, Part I: Basic Information
Now for the fun stuff, in game with Kennen. Get your raping shoes on, and get ready for some fun.
III.I. Abilities
Kennen's Abilities are so good!!!
Thundering Shuriken automatically procs all three Marks of the Storm. Also a skillshot. Papa loves his skillshots.
Electrical Surge is your bread and butter. With this, you can deal insane damage with anything. This is why we build Ability Power.
Lightning Rush is just...god. It is your run, your gank, your safety, and a proccer of the Marks of the Storm.
III.I.I. Level Order
Electrical Surge > Lightning Rush > Slicing Maelstrom > Thundering Shuriken
Thundering Shuriken is Kennen's worst skill, and it is still pretty amazing.
III.II. Items
Kennen's Items are similar to most AP Carries, with a little bit of AS.
III.II.I. Build Order
Sorcerer's Boots ---> Phantom Dancer ---> Lich Bane ---> Guinsoo's Rageblade ---> Deathfire Grasp ---> Hextech Gunblade
III.II.II. Justification(s)
Sorcerer's Boots, because ladies love nice boots.
Phantom Dancer. Speed = Marks/Second = Damage Output.
Lich Bane. Better AP AND AD.
Guinsoo's Rageblade AS and AD/AP Bonus per Attack? Yes please.
Deathfire Grasp. Active. Enough said.
Hextech Gunblade helps with everything, plus a good Active.
IV. In-Game, Part II: Strategy
For once, I don't have much to say here. All of Kennen's strategies are similar. Jungle when possible, then Gank and Lane at times. Go for the kills, you can do it with Lightning Rush and Electrical Storm.
IV.I. The One Strategy I Could Use Differently Than the Basic
Kennen can be used in ONE other way that I've seen.
Kennen can either be a Jungle Gankist, having enemy champions (squishy and tanky) getting in his thunder van to the eye of the storm, OR used as a Laning Pwnographer.
Push. They cannot stop what they have no chance to hit. Go into the brush, and ambush their *** when they get close. Lightning Rush, Electrical Storm, Thundering Shuriken, Repeat. If More than One are there, Lightning Rush, Slicing Maelstrom, Electrical Storm until Slicing Maelstrom is over. GG? GG.
V. Conclusion
Kennen is an extremely powerful yordle, and deserves to be played more. Yordles rule!

I say the key to good academic writing is saying complicated things as simply as possible. Winnie-the-Pooh says… pic.twitter.com/iYKFa4YxN2
— George Gosling (@gcgosling) March 9, 2015
Academia, whether that means teaching or studying, is ultimately a matter of communication. Our words are the lifeblood of what we do. So I regularly find myself stuggling to suppress my inner pedant when I read phrases that I know simply don't do what they're supposed to. So, if for no other reason than to release the build up of pedantry, here are my top six offenders. Of course, these are things for which I'd never dream of marking down a student, but I might counsel them against. If you use them all the time, it's nothing personal.
This is one that gets used endlessly in student essays, and it's hard to blame them when it's used so frequently in academic texts. Unfortunately it is absolutely meaningless. Anything could be argued. I could write a blog post putting forward an argument for the sun being The Great Mother Satsuma, but I'd struggle to make the case convincingly. One of the things students find hardest to master is acknowledging complexity while still putting forward a strong argument. For me, this is the wrong side of the line. Arguably, starting a sentence by sitting on the fence like this is a bad habit to get into, as you can easily find yourself opting for this over and over, and miss the fact you haven't actually argued anything. If you're not convinced, attribute it to someone who is.
There is a simple way to structure an essay: argument, counter-argument, conclusion. It is easy, but I tend to advise against it. This is often a shock to those students who've had it drummed into them at A-Level. Structuring an essay this way is not wrong. It's actually a straightforward way of producing an acceptable essay. However, it's a really difficult way of writing really good essay. This is because it creates a number of traps – forcing you to simplify the discussion into two sides when it's probably much more complex, and making it all too easy to avoid actually having an argument of your own until the closing sentences. No. Start with the argument and then make the case.
In fact, in my seminars I recommend students ditch the term 'bias' altogether. There is no person, no document (no historical witness or source) that is not biased in some way or another. Again, it's meaningless. The problem here is that labelling a source as biased sounds like you've actually said something when you haven't, making it all too easy to move on to the next point without actually having made one at all. Instead, identify the perspective from which a source is written, or from which they see events. That really can tell us something.
What happened is history (the past). How we interpret, explain and debate the cause, impact and meaning of what happened is History (the scholarly discipline). This wouldn't be possible if all historians agreed, so there is some sense in distinguishing between the ideas and opinions of some historians and others. The problem is the obvious question it prompts: which ones? Not specifying implies historians are interchangeable, that the positions we take are random. We're not and they're not. This is why labelling historians as traditionalist and revisionist likewise falls short – suggesting it's a fluke of timing. Once again this phrase only does half the job.
The objective historian is a myth. Once we recognise we are all biased commentators it can serve as a useful myth – giving license to rigorously question our own assumptions against both the available evidence and the wisdom of the crowd. This is a good thing, yet it's often cut short by the negative connotations of bias. Labelling the premise of the historian's assumptions should be a helpful way of engaging with their perspective on the past, but instead is often used to dismiss alternative interpretations rashly. Most typically I see this dismissal – sometimes this bluntly – to reject the arguments of feminist historians. Although I've never encountered this said of a male historian.
I used to use this all the time about a decade ago, and there's no zealot like a convert. The reason as to why I turned against this unnecessary flourish is that it's pretentious. I've never used it when speaking, so why when writing? It's the over-compensating that comes from not feeling you have the authority to write about a given subject. There will always be an element of fake it 'til you make it, but this is too transparent a disguise it be any use. Good academic writing is a matter of saying complicated things as simply as possible. Decide what needs saying. Say it plainly. Then stop.

By Steven Hill
The commonplace book is a seventeenth century innovation, and the idea is a simple one: A notebook for capturing interesting quotes from reading, ideas, snippets of text for writings, diagrams, sketches, anything that comes to mind. Over time these notebooks developed into personal anthologies of thought and reflection, and were often accompanied by elaborate schemes of indexing, so that the entries could be located and themes extracted.
The age of the internet has the potential to be the golden age of the commonplace book. First we have an unprecedented opportunity to read and access texts of all sorts, and secondly it is simple – no more complicated than 'copy and paste' – to bring elements of text together into places where search tools allow the rapid compilation of themes.
I have been using Evernote as a commonplace book for a number of years. All sorts of things get saved into my Evernote notebooks, some of them automatically, and then the search function allows later retrieval. For example, a quick search for 'commonplace book' reveals that, rather spookily I was contemplating drafting a blog post on the topic exactly a year ago today. I was also able to identify previous reading I had done about commonplace books, and a quote from 'Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation' by Steven Johnson:
The great minds of the period—Milton, Bacon, Locke—were zealous believers in the memory-enhancing powers of the commonplace book. In its most customary form, "commonplacing," as it was called, involved transcribing interesting or inspirational passages from one's reading, assembling a personalized encyclopedia of quotations.
The search also provided me with a link to a related piece I had read by James Gleick on digitising books.
The commonplace book was a powerful idea in the seventeenth century but digitised text takes it to a new level. This idea is explored and developed further by Johnson in a blog post. In this post Johnson points out that searching for text can, in an instant, assemble a type of commonplace book using an algorithm. The google search I linked to at the beginning of this post is an example. The search results are presented in a particular order, and to an extent that order is customised to the individual. A new association of words and ideas is being created, specific for the reader, and in no way predictable by the authors of the original texts:
What you see on [a Google search results] page is, in a very real sense, textual play: the recombining of words into new forms and associations that their original creators never dreamed of.
Johnson goes on to consider the value that is created through these new combinations of text:
When text is free to combine in new, surprising ways, new forms of value are created. Value for consumers searching for information, value for advertisers trying to share their messages with consumers searching for related topics, value for content creators who want an audience. And of course, value to the entity that serves as the middleman between all those different groups.
And there is a following discussion on paywalls and technologies that prevent text to be mined and combined in new ways. The whole, long post is well worth a read. His conclusion is that access to text and reasonable re-use rights are central to ensuring that the potential benefits of the internet-enabled commonplace book. In Johnson's words we need text to be in a commonplace book, not a glass box.
This is one of the reason that open access to the scholarly literature is so important. At the moment much of the scholarly literature is, at best, in a glassbox and at worst in a locked chest for which only a select few hold the key. Not only does the scholarly literature need to be made more available, but also licensed in such a way that re-use and re-purposing is possible. As Cameron Neylon has recently argued permissive licensing is essential. Access through glass boxes, like the Access to Research initiative is also deeply limited in its value.
I wonder what those seventeenth century 'commonplacers' would make of all this. I think they would be amazed by the potential of the digital commonplace book, but shocked to see how we have locked away some of the most valuable text, preventing real value to be obtained.

Dear Sir, Madame, or Other:
Enclosed is our latest version of Ms # 85-02-22-RRRRR, that is, the re-re-re-revised revision of our paper. Choke on it. We have again rewritten the entire manuscript from start to finish. We even changed the goddamn running head! Hopefully we have suffered enough by now to satisfy even you and your bloodthirsty reviewers.
I shall skip the usual point-by-point description of every single change we made in response to the critiques. After all, it is fairly clear that your reviewers are less interested in details of scientific procedure than in working out their personality problems and sexual frustrations by seeking some kind of demented glee in the sadistic and arbitrary exercise of tyrannical power over helpless authors like ourselves who happen to fall into their clutches. We do understand that, in view of the misanthropic psychopaths you have on your editorial board, you need to keep sending them papers, for if they weren't reviewing manuscripts they'd probably be out mugging old ladies or clubbing baby seals to death. Still, from this batch of reviewers, C was clearly the most hostile, and we request that you not ask him or her to review this revision. Indeed, we have mailed letter bombs to four or five people we suspected of being reviewer C, so if you send the manuscript back to them the review process could be unduly delayed.
Some of the reviewers' comments we couldn't do anything about. For example, if (as review C suggested) several of my recent ancestors were indeed drawn from other species, it is too late to change that. Other suggestions were implemented, however, and the paper has improved and benefited. Thus, you suggested that we shorten the manuscript by 5 pages, and we were able to accomplish this very effectively by altering the margins and printing the paper in a different font with a smaller typeface. We agree with you that the paper is much better this way.
One perplexing problem was dealing with suggestions #13-28 by Reviewer B. As you may recall (that is, if you even bother reading the reviews before doing your decision letter), that reviewer listed 16 works that he/she felt we should cite in this paper. These were on a variety of different topics, none of which had any relevance to our work that we could see. Indeed, one was an essay on the Spanish-American War from a high school literary magazine. The only common thread was that all 16 were by the same author, presumably someone whom Reviewer B greatly admires and feels should be more widely cited. To handle this, we have modified the Introduction and added, after the review of relevant literature, a subsection entitled "Review of Irrelevant Literature" that discusses these articles and also duly addresses some of the more asinine suggestions in the other reviews.
We hope that you will be pleased with this revision and will finally recognize how urgently deserving of publication this work is. If not, then you are an unscrupulous, depraved monster with no shred of human decency. You ought to be in a cage. May whatever heritage you come from be the butt of the next round of ethnic jokes. If you do accept it, however, we wish to thank you for your patience and wisdom throughout this process and to express our appreciation of your scholarly insights. To repay you, we would be happy to review some manuscripts for you; please send us the next manuscript that any of these reviewers submits to your journal.
Assuming you accept this paper, we would also like to add a footnote acknowledging your help with this manuscript and to point out that we liked the paper much better the way we originally wrote it but you held the editorial shotgun to our heads and forced us to chop, reshuffle, restate, hedge, expand, shorten, and in general convert a meaty paper into stir-fried vegetables. We couldn't, or wouldn't, have done it without your input.
Jon Tennant just finished his PhD in paleontology. This post originally appeared on Jon's blog, Fossils and Shit. Follow him on twitter @protohedgehog.
Doing a PhD is one of the greatest trials you will ever experience in your life. It is physically and mentally grueling, you will be challenged and pushed to the limit every single day, and the pressure levels are so high they will bust you right into the sixth dimension if you're not prepared or strong enough.
So yeah, they are not for the faint of hearted. That is, if you want to succeed by pushing yourself to the limit, excel in everything that you apply yourself to, and grow to become more powerful than you can possibly imagine (compared to the wimpy undergrad you used to be). But I imagine you wouldn't even be doing a PhD if this wasn't your mentality anyway.
I'm a strong believer in committing yourself fully to something if you believe in it, and doing everything within your power to achieve your goals. A PhD is basically a 3-4 year long single project that you can, and should, dedicate yourself too. Now that I'm nearing the end of my own challenge, I wanted to share some simple things with you all that might help in some way.
1. Don't compare yourself to other people, especially researchers
Every day, you will see other people achieving their own things. Encourage the success of others, but do not think that this means your own work has any less value. I think this competitive nature of academia is one of the main causes of Imposter Syndrome for researchers. Acknowledge that others will succeed, and that your own successes will come too. Which leads on to…
2. Be content with your successes
Celebrate all the things! Get a paper published? Awesome! Abstract accepted for that conference? You're amazing! Get some code to run? Get a beer! Accepting that your successes, no matter how big or small, are meaningful is a great step towards acknowledging your personal worth. Both to yourself and others. That doesn't mean rub them in other people's faces; simply allow yourself to enjoy the feeling of completing something that meant something to yourself or others. It took me about three and a half years of my PhD to get there and realise 'Oh. Maybe I've finally done something good.', and then it was like a cascade from there where every achievement began to mean something and excite and motivate me even more. My only wish is that I'd realised this sooner.
3. Social media is a doubled-edged sword
Social media such as blogging and Twitter are amazing to learn for personal development, networking, and science communication. The negative side of this is that social media emphasises point 1 in this list. People basically pump out all of the good things in their lives, and it's like having 1000 marginally interesting success stories pummeled into your face on a daily basis. That is not healthy, as it becomes too easy to see this as a single timeline of success that you could not possibly live up to. This is why it is so essential to know that if you do use social media, what you're looking at is a multitude, and not a single narrative of another person's life.
4. Challenge everything, especially that which seems normal or is the status quo
Universities are places were freedom of thought and freedom of expression are standard. Note that this doesn't mean you are at liberty to be a dick, and simply do or say things without thinking them through. If someone tells you to do something 'because that's the way it is', challenge it. Conforming to expectations is not only boring, but changes nothing. Research and academia are places to unleash yourself and your creativity in ways that you will never get in a standard workplace, and you should embrace the opportunity. Rules are meant to be broken.
5. Having a relationship during your PhD is insanely difficult
A PhD is so time consuming it's ridiculous. When people say they work 45 hours a week, a PhD student replies "Oh it must be nice working just a part time job.." This impacts quite a bit upon the hypothetical 'work life balance'. I'm not gonna sugar it up, there is no work-life balance. Work becomes your life. Even when you're not working on your PhD, you're thinking about it. Trying to reconcile this with a love life is insane. If you can find a significant other who understands this, keep them for life. If they don't, it'll make the relationship all the more difficult. It's not about placing one person/thing above another, but recognising that at certain times there are certain priorities that have to take precedent.
6. Take every opportunity to travel
PhD students can be blessed with unparalleled chances to roam the planet. We get to attend conferences, workshops, talks, and do our research in some of the most exotic, weird, wonderful, and exciting places on the planet. Embrace this chance, as you probably won't get it ever again. Never be afraid to try something or somewhere new, and embrace every opportunity as a new learning experience.
7. Take every opportunity to learn
A PhD is a learning experience. Don't ever feel stupid for not knowing something – no-one knows everything, and the whole point of research and education is that we're forever pushing our boundaries by discovering new things. What is obvious to some people is clearly not to others, and you should not be afraid to ask questions, or be made silly for asking them. Over the course of 3-4 years for a PhD, you will be constantly learning new things, expanding your knowledge horizons, and acquiring new skills. Some times, you won't even recognise that you're picking up or developing skills. Often it's worth going out of your way to try new things: a foreign language or a new coding language, creative writing, yoga, art, baking – anything that helps you to enhance yourself.
8. Use your spare time to learn 'secondary' skills
By 'secondary', I refer to those which are not strictly to do with research. These include learning how to write for non-specialist audiences through blogging as a form of science communication, learning marketing, advocacy and community building skills as a form of networking and promotion, and social media usage in order to more effectively communicate with a diverse range of audiences. These skills are invaluable and can open up a multitude of new opportunities, and if you learn to integrate them into your daily workflows can become valuable extensions of yourself.
9. Learn to code. For the love of God learn to code
Coding is frickin' difficult, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Some people have a knack for it, others don't. In the modern age though, the ability to code, or at least read or execute code, is so damn important. I've only learned how to use a bit of R during my PhD, but this basically saved my research just by learning the basics. Websites like CodeAcademy are super duper useful for picking up coding skills, and good fun and free too.
10. Some people are assholes, and there's nothing you can do about it
The common asshole can often be a difficult species to find. Common traits include: 1. Talking about others negatively behind their backs; 2. Only ever talking about themselves and their activities; 3. Interrupting you to tell a story that's just oh so much better; 4. Poisoning the way you think and act so that you begin to question yourself, but not in a good way; 5. Sapping all of your time and energy to deal with them and their problems; 6. Taking everything from you, but never giving something in return. One thing I've learned is not to engage with people like this. People who are not helping to build you are not people to surround yourself with, and are best removed swiftly and painlessly from your life. This also accounts for serial harassers, some times even people under the facade of 'close friends', and those who refuse to be held accountable for the words they say and the actions they perform. There is a whole world of amazing people out there, and do not settle for people who act like shit and treat you like anything less than you deserve.
11. Be there for other people as much as you can
I might have mentioned this once or twice, but doing a PhD is fucking difficult. Some times, those most in need are those who hide it most. Learn to read the signs of when people might be struggling, and be there as a stone pillar for them when they need it most. This is just part of being a good friend, and some times for people simply knowing that someone is there for you can make all the difference.
12. Don't sacrifice your mental or physical health for research
At Imperial College, almost every grad student I know was suffering from some sort of mental or physical health issue. Alcoholism, depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia – the list goes on. The pressures of academia are insane, and don't kill yourself just to get out a paper or do another experiment. Everything that needs to get done will get done with time. You work more efficiently by pacing yourself. Staying healthy in body is also a path to staying more healthy in mind. I started running during my PhD, and found that after a while I was able to focus more, sleep better, and not be so damn exhausted all the time.Also, don't over-caffeinate – quitting ten shitty cups of coffee a day was awesome, I gained the ability to think again. If you're a coffee fan, have one or two a day strategically. Drink a glass of water in the morning as soon as you wake up, and stay hydrated during the day. Don't binge on carbs, and try and have a healthy diet. This shit actually works, is ridiculously simple, and you'll feel a positive difference. Meditation can also be a powerful method for clearing your mind and helping you to focus – apps like Headspace are great for starting with this.
13. Publish the shit out of your PhD as much as possible
I've written about this one already here.
14. Learn how to empathise with others
This is a ridiculously powerful way of thinking, and very difficult to grasp. I'm not sure I've got it yet fully, but is something I try all the time. My parents always used to say to me 'treat others how you would like to be treated', and being able to place yourselves in the shoes of others and understand their feelings is important for this. By doing so, you'll be able to understand the problems of others more easily, and generally perceive everyday issues in life from a more enriched diversity of views. It also means that you're not thinking about things selfishly, shallowly, or narrowly. I got sick of people in London being so self-centred about their thinking, when it came to personal and academic issues, and is actually one of the key reasons why I left London and Imperial College in the first place.
15. Learn how to think about problems from a range or perspectives
Problem solving is an intrinsic part of academia. Shockingly, problem solving is not easy, either to do with research or real life situations. Being able to consider problems from as diverse a range of perspectives as possible is a very powerful tool for understanding and resolving them. Learn to be solution-oriented, focus on the positives, and consider how other people are perceiving a situation and what the implications of this are. Follow thoughts and actions through like a web – consider all possibilities and all implications of this. Through this, often the optimal solution will emerge, and you will be braced for all possible outcomes.
16. If you recognise that you have a weakness, do everything you can to overcome it
Part of self-development is recognising that you are not perfect. Everyone has weaknesses, or parts of themselves that can improve – if you can't think of anything, think harder, or stop being so arrogant. Learning what these traits are is the first step towards building upon them. For example, if you have an issue with approaching new people and initiating conversation, slowly build up your confidence in smaller steps by approaching groups, people who you know from social media, or by planning out the first few lines of a conversation in your head in advance. For every problem, there are a thousand solutions – you just have to find that which suits you the most!
DISCLAIMER: These views are based on my own experience, and might be utter bullshit.
Mairi Young is a PhD student at the University of Glasgow, researching why people are scared of the dentist (sort of). She is also a foodie and self-confessed junk food lover, blogging over at The Weegie Kitchen.
Campuses across the country are facing chaos today as the viral video game Pokemon Go continues to grip the student body.
Dr. Samuel Oak, a professor of zoology at Celadon University, took the drastic step of failing all of his students after they refused to pay attention in class following the release of the hit new game.
"Around the second week of class I noticed many students had stopped paying attention completely and were just staring at their phones", he lame, "Every class has some inattentive students, but when they began walking around the room I started to get irritated".
"One day a student pointed their phone at me and exclaimed that they had caught a Butterfree", he explains, "I just lost it".
Professor Elm, a biology professor at Johto University said that she had an influx of students interrupting her class on Monday asking if they were in the right place for the Magikarp giveaway.
Elsewhere campus gyms have been designated as a Pokemon gyms, resulting in a number of unfortunate accidents, while the library at Straiton City University is receiving visitors in unprecedented numbers after first year student Ash Ketchum claimed to have spotted a Pikachu in the aisles.
Pokemon Go is the latest in a string of distractions that are leaving lecturers helpless – just last year a student was marked absent after spending her class taking selfies and googling pictures of golden retriever puppies in party hats.
But Oak and others argue that this is an entirely new breed of distraction, more involved and insidious than the selfies and emojis that have previously plagued their pedagogy.
Unsure how to manage the crisis, one university is cancelling the semester altogether to allow the hype to die down.
Professor Takao Cozmo, Dean of Fallarbor University, announced the closure today in a brief statement: "We recognize that attempting to teach in this environment is pointless, so all classes are cancelled until further notice" he told the small group of journalists that were all staring at their phones.
Cosmo also announced that research efforts would be redirected to capturing and identifying all 150 of the curious creatures before cutting his speech short and rushing to the door to chase a passing Pidgey.

Daily analysis 15.02.2016:
Statements from the chairman of the People's Bank of China regarding the renminbi. Series of data from China and Japan increases the chances for monetary and fiscal stimulation. The zloty remains stable, but it can gain slightly to the euro if Mario Draghi appears more dovish.
Most important macro data (CET – Central European Time). Estimations of macro data are based on Bloomberg information, unless marked otherwise.
- Due to President's Day holiday, there is no session in the USA.
- 15.00: Testimony of the ECB chairman Mario Draghi in the European Parliament.
A significant improvement of sentiments
Friday's data about American retail sales figures, were a crucial moment for the markets at least in short term. It was much higher than economists' expectations, and in comparison to December it increased from 2.4% y/y to 3.4% y/y. Basically, every category (apart from fuel and electronics) quoted a significant growth. This fact supported the stock markets, raw materials, and at the same time it stopped profitability of the American bonds from dropping.
On the other hand, a long interview with the chairman of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) was published this weekend. Zhou Xiaochuan confirmed that the Bank's aim is to sustain the renminbi's exchange rate, "on a stable level which can be reached only when the exchange rate is closer to the level of balance".
Considering that the level of balance for the renminbi is at the level of 100 in relation to the basket of 13 currencies included in the Chinese trade exchange, one can come to a conclusion that current quotations of the renminbi are close to this level. According to the Bloomberg agency calculations, this index is currently to the level of 100.66.
The PBOC also took note that it is crucial to, "know the difference between the capital's outflow, and the capital's escape". Xiaochuan thinks that the Chinese enterprises, "are reducing or paying their debts denominated in the dollar". The chairman of the Central Bank also suggests that the export companies stop exchanging the foreign currencies to the renminbi. Thus, the statements from the PBOC representatives suggest that China is not experiencing the capital's escape.
In general, it is clear that the Chinese monetary authorities are trying to calm down the situation. It may be working to a certain degree. Today, the renminbi strengthened to the dollar the most since 2005. The USD/CNY pair is now on the level of 6.50.
Weak readings from Japan, and mixed readings from China
Good sentiments were not spoiled by weak data from Japan. This country's economy reduced again in the fourth quarter, and the entire year was closed with only a 0.5% increase. However, this was not an obstacle for the Nikkei index to grow by more than 7%.
However, the Wall Street Journal wrote that reduction of the economy in, "fourth out of seven past quarters comes in a crucial moment for the Japanese prime minister, and an economic program known as Abenomics, and it may lead to a demand for further easing of monetary and fiscal policy".
After publication of today's balance of foreign trade, similar opinions appeared regarding China. Although, the situation in the case of Beijing is slightly less complicated. January's import expressed that the renminbi dropped in a y/y relation by 14.4%. However, it is worth emphasizing that it was significantly influenced by lower prices of raw material prices.
On the other hand, the volume of import of industrial metals and fuel is still not showing a breakdown in demand. January's import of ore increased by 4.6% y/y, and of copper by 5.3% y/y. The import of oil decreased by 4.6%, but the purchase of fuel abroad increased by 15.6%. On the other hand, a significant decrease in export (by 6.6% y/y) is partially caused by a breakdown of demand from Brazil (-44.4% y/y), and the Republic of South Africa (-34.7%).
Few words about the foreign market
The situation in the capital and currency market is very dynamic in recent days, and a change of investors' sentiments is occurring incredibly fast (sometimes basing on fragmentary data). Today, however, the FX will probably focus on Mario Draghi's speech in the European Parliament. If it is as dovish as the one made a few days ago in the Bundesbank, we can expect a further improvement of sentiment, and a clear depreciation of the EUR/USD below 1.1200.
The zloty is stable and with a chance for appreciation
The Polish currency should also take advantage of a significant improvement in the global sentiments. Especially that today's interview of the Polish Press Agency with Eryk Lon, shows once again that the national monetary authorities have currently no intention to ease the monetary policy. Today's speech of Mario Draghi can also be a supportive element, especially for the zloty in its relation to the euro. It is possible that it will initiate a new phase of a more aggressive monetary easing in the euro zone.
Today, if the ECB chairman actually suggests a significant increase in monetary stimulation, the zloty could become a beneficiary of these changes, especially considering that the national currency remains relatively weak, and profitability of treasury bonds is high. This could force the wallet capital to be more involved in the Polish market, at least in the short term. Thus, it is possible that today's session on the EUR/PLN may end within the limits of 4.37-4.38.

Skip to comments.IEA asks for release of emergency oil reserves(to appease U.S.?)
Posted on 06/23/2011 9:42:47 AM PDT by TigerLikesRooster
IEA asks for release of emergency oil reserves
NHK has learned that the International Energy Agency is finalizing talks to release emergency oil reserves of its oil-consuming member nations to help stabilize crude oil prices.
The autonomous organization of 28 major oil consuming countries, including Japan and the United States, is said to be close to securing agreement for the coordinated operation.
The release operation, the first of its kind since 2005, is being planned ahead of an expected rise in gasoline use in the northern hemisphere during the summer holiday season.
Rising crude oil prices since January, due mainly to the political upheaval in northern Africa and the Middle East, have put a brake on global economic growth.
Observers say that the move is aimed to appease the United States, as gasoline prices there are hovering at high levels.
The IEA, founded in response to the oil crises of the 1970s, obliges its member nations to set aside emergency reserves of crude oil and gasoline equivalent to the amount they import in 90 days.
Thursday, June 23, 2011 19:41 +0900 (JST)
Great.....release our reserves to other countries. Drill for our own oil and that will release more oil from the Middle East for other countries. Am I missing something here?
"Am I missing something here?"
President Soros has realized his puppet won't get reelected, unless he does something drastic, right now, to take the sheeple's minds off the economy.
Obama does not get relected if gas is still over $3 next summer.
Tell OPEC to release theirs!
"The release operation, the first of its kind since 2005, is being planned ahead of an expected rise in gasoline use in the northern hemisphere during the summer holiday season"
First of all, what makes this "summer holiday season" something unusual enough to tap into our strategic petroleum reserves???
second, many many people are NOT going on "summer vacation" this year due to unemployment and high gas prices.
Watch the skies?
This is way too ealry to affect gas prices for next summer
And the gas prices that will matter will be those we are paying on election day 2012
And the gas prices that will matter will be those we are paying on election day 2012
I am of the impression that he will lower gas prices until after the election and then watch out. He'll attempt to do the same with the economy....even to the point of lying to the people about the economy. The big scare for people be that if he were to get re-elected, he can do anything he wants. At that point, everything will go to hell in a hand basket. I also believe that this is what he wants.
A UN outfit has their hands on the US Military Stratedgic Petroleum Reserve nozzle? David Axelrod is making troop deployment decisions, and not the most accomplish General of modern times, David Patreaus? Last year the Chi-coms shot a rocket off from our left coast, this year their Navy is bullying neighbors in the China seas, and threatening us to stay out of it? It's getting waaay worse than Carter 2.0.
Yeah. Carter is finally freed from the title "The Worst U.S. President in History."
This is nothing more than a stimulus package in another form.
It will be refined and sold in the US, right?
Also, the price paid at time of storage must have been lower than the price sold now - who gets the net difference??

Punxsutawney Phil failed to see his shadow Tuesday morning, meaning spring is right around the corner, if you believe in that sort of lore (or if you trust a rodent that's likely a Steelers fan).
With many people still suffering from the winter blues, it's time to turn that frown upside down and begin planning accordingly.
What better way to kickoff spring than joining Ravens senior advisor to player development, O.J. Brigance and his wife Chanda for the third annual 5.7K Championship Run & 1.57 Mile Family Run/Walk? The event takes place Sunday, May 1, 2016 at Canton Waterfront Park in Baltimore to kick off ALS awareness month.
Brigance, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2007, has made it his mission to improve the lives of those who struggle with the life-altering disease. Together with Chanda, the hero couple created the Brigance Brigade Foundation to "equip, encourage and empower People living with ALS."
"The Brigance Brigade Foundation feels extremely lucky that we get to host our 3rd annual 5.7K Championship Run at such an important time of year for people battling ALS, their families and caregivers – ALS Awareness Month," said O.J. "At this year's event, we will also be launching a new program within the foundation aimed at supporting ALS caregivers who are on the front lines of this battle each and every day. Grab all of your friends and family and join us on May 1st for a morning of fun and exercise for a great cause!"
The day, which provides something for everyone promises to be another success, as were the last two, which have gained more and more support from the community and those looking to give back back to such an important cause.
To learn more and register to #RaceforALS, please visit www.BriganceBrigade.org. Early bird registration fees are currently in affect for the 5.7K run ($30) and the 1.57 mile run/walk ($20). The Kids' Fun Run costs $10 per child to enter. All participants receive a free event t-shirt with registration, while 5.7K participants will also receive a commemorative race medal.

text: Caribbean tanker rates edged up a notch on Monday because of ongoing backlogs caused by last week's weather delays, brokers said. "We saw W305 done today for 70,000 tons," said a U.S. broker. "The fog has lifted but there's still a backlog. Some ships are running... five to seven days late." He said that lightering programs had also been affected. London brokers said that rates for million-barrel tankers continued to hold firm. London's Baltic Exchange raised its assessment of the benchmark route from Nigeria to Philadelphia by 10 points to reach W163.5, or $2.15 per barrel. Brokers, however, said that Monday had been fairly quiet, and that the Baltic's upgrade reflected gains made by the market on Friday. "It's pretty quiet today, but I guess that's just a Monday thing," said a broker. At the end of last week, he said that many stems were appearing, and that there was the prospect of more before the end of the month. Monday morning's fixture lists showed Exxon paying W161 for a million-barrel ship from Qua Iboe to the U.S. Gulf. Million-barrel freight from West Africa to the U.S. started the year at W205 from Nigeria to Philadelphia, but had fallen to W105 by the first week of February. Brokers said that there were rumors of traders starting to look at doubling up million-barrel stems to put on VLCCs towards the end of the month in order to reduce the cost of freight. Routes from West Africa to Europe, which hit a severe low of W100 in the first week of February, had recovered to about W165 on Monday, as shown by a Repsol fixture from Qua Iboe to Spain. Million-barrel rates in the Mediterranean also followed the upward trend, reaching W152.5 on Monday on the Baltic Exchange's tanker index. Rates for VLCCs made small but significant gains last week, brokers said. "The greatest improvement was seen for a modern VLCC in early position, which fixed in the region of W118 for a voyage to Indonesia," said London tanker broker Gibsons, referring to Petronas' charter of Frontline's VLCC Front Duke. "While this may still be exceptional, the scarcity of tonnage for the first 20 days of March could still result in further improvements," it added. Westbound VLCCs from the Mideast Gulf were demanding W83 on Monday, while those to Japan were calling for W93. - (Retuers)

Armed police swooped on Mytholmroyd after a man posted a potentially inflammatory message on Facebook.
The raid on the address in Sunny Bank happened on Tuesday afternoon and led to a 27-year-old Calderdale man being arrested on suspicion of public order offences. He has since been released without charge.
A police spokesperson said: "At 10.45am on Tuesday, April 1, West Yorkshire Police was made aware of a potentially inflammatory posting on a social media website.
"As a result of police enquiries, a 27-year-old Calderdale man was arrested on suspicion of public order offences.
"He has now been released without charge."
Villagers were shocked to see armed police at the incident, which saw Midgley Road cordoned off while police carried out the arrest.
