When they start seeing those that oppressed them finally brought to justice, That will be the icing on the cake for them. They very well may be the envy of the middle east (deservingly so). I for one would love to travel there (safely) some day. Keep the great news coming Bondlady and Timmy. And a special thanks to recaps for all there work. THE TRAINS PULLING INTO THE STATION FOLKS... Go Iraq go RV or RI. PAY IT FOREWARD. I FOR ONE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO HELP THOSE THAT COULD NOT SHARE IN THIS BLESSING.

YAK Car Pic of the Day
by Jim Corbran - posted 12:12 am, November 17, 2014
Underneath the body, which was styled by the Italian carrozzeria Ghia and hand-made by the German coach-builder Karmann, this 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was essentially a Beetle. The chassis, the engine — a carbon copy of the famous Think Small-mobile which was the best-selling import in the U.S. The KG was produced in coupe and cabriolet form, and from 1955 to 1974 over 445,000 of them left the factory. Officially it was marketed as a 2+2 but really, who was gonna squeeze into that back seat? Saw this one last week in Youngstown.

Mathematics at Science Day 2015
Hundreds of high school students converged on the UL Lafayette campus on Friday, 18 September 2015, to learn about the exciting programs and opportunities available through the College of Sciences. This year we had 800 visitors from 39 high schools!
Thirteen of our undergraduate students prepared posters and visual aides which they ably used to demonstrate some interesting mathematical results to our visitors. We are proud of our students and the wonderful job they did.
The thirteen students are: Alyssa Bienvenu, Joel Billeaud, Benjamin Deshotels, Alec Fontenot, Christopher Guillotte, Brianna Lawson, Rainey Lyons, Marina Ledet, Brian Maggio, Daphne Martin, John Patterson, Bailey Ross, and Alex Stewart.
A few photos from the mathematics venue at the 2015 Science Day are provided below.
Daphne Martin describes the use of random sampling and probability to estimate the area under a curve.
John Patterson and Cody Nash discuss the golden ratio and how it arises in nature.
Benjamin Deshotels and Alec Fontenot describe a counterintuitive application of randomization to increase the chance of winning a simple game.
Alyssa Bienvenu uses a geometric method to demonstrate the validity of some equations involving squares.
Joel Billeaud demonstrates the validity of some equations involving squares using geometry.
Rainey Lyons and Christopher Guillotte demonstrate how a cat could slip between the earth and a band around the earth if the circumference of the band was one meter larger than that of the earth.

The equity market has yet to reach that point of capitulation that typically signals a market bottom and the resumption of upward price momentum. This could be due in part to the massive amounts of federal monies that have gone into the financial system. The bailout and stimulus money's are working something like one of those rescue trampolines fire fighters use to catch people jumping from burning buildings. The building is still on fire but the fall onto rubber was not as abrupt as it might have been onto concrete.
Perhaps to realize capitulation in the equity markets, we must first achieve it in the various bubbles that have developed in our economy. In the March 17th post, "Say on Pay," we suggested that compensation should be added to the list of economic "bubbles."
If the AIG situation is exemplary of private sector compensation practices one might conclude capitalism has gone amuck. There has been this extraordinary outcry for retribution from calls for suicide to levying 100% taxes on the bonuses paid to employees of companies like AIG that received so-called bailout or stimulus money. The collective indignation is understandable given that we observe at AIG bonus commitments to people who may have failed to do a good job and may even no longer work for AIG.
There is enough precedent for breaking contractual commitments to pension funds to suggest that these particular contracts could have been renegotiated by new management when taking over a year ago. Rather Mr. Liddy chose to let the money go out AIG's door, apparently with the view that it was acceptable to let tax payers foot the bill - people who themselves might be out of work and facing bankruptcy, foreclosure or eviction.
Clearly compensation practices have encouraged greed over prudence and inspired currupt instead of ethical behavior. Employees are rewarded for the mere act of taking risk rather than returns earned on risk. At the of the long chain of accountability stand shareholders. It is the shareholder who must do a better job in policing the actions of management in prudently using corporate resources for compensation, whether they are rescued by tax payer money or not.
As unpleasant as the hue and cry has become, this might be the cathartic necessary to break and clean up the corporate compensation bubble. The onus for performance must be on those who receive a bonus! Once we have that thread running through the private sector again, we may see some improvement in the equity markets.

South African Airways Flight 210
Seat 71H/K
Scheduled Departure 10:30 AM
Scheduled Arrival 8:20 AM
Departure Gate: E14
Arrival Gate: A1 (JNB)
Flight time: ATL-CPT 14 hr. CPT-JNB 2 hr.
Photo © Yevgeny Pashnin
Woke up at 4:00 AM after planning not to sleep at all the night before so I'd sleep easier on the plane. Quickly made sure I had everything needed for the week trip to South Africa, which included a through check of my camera to make sure everything I needed was there and in working order.
Left the house at 5:15 AM and headed off to Steak & Shake to grab some breakfast. Where the waitress felt it necessary to tell us that they in fact, had no ice cream. Thanks, I needed to know that…
At 6:20 AM we were on the road for ATL. Arrived at Mercury and caught the shuttle to the South Terminal International Departures area. Went straight to the SAA/DL check in desk to find no line.
Checked in and got seats 71H and K with the middle seat open, just as I had reserved. Took the bags to TSA to be X-Rayed and began to question the TSA agent on the process, being an airside GSC I never get to see the landside aspect of everything.
Questions answered, I headed off for gate E14 to await the arrival of flight 209 from CPT.
I had gotten an email the night before being notified that we would be on ZS-SAY, Vulindlela which is strange for ATL because we normally only see the GE aircraft. At 8:20 SAY made the turn off of Dixie taxiway and pulled into gate E14, ending an 18-hour trip from CPT to ATL via SID. And beginning a 2-hour turn around to head back to CPT. Staring at the aircraft, it still didn't seem real that after 5 years of wanting to go, I was actually going to do it.
At 9:30 the SAA agent called for boarding. Being in row 71 we were among the first to board.
Taking our seats I noticed how tall the seats are. You feel somewhat boxed in because of the height and width.
Push back was commenced at 10:24…6 minutes early. Does it really matter when your flight is 14 hours long?
Taxied off of Dixie taxiway and entered the queue for 27R. In front of us, an ASA ATR 72 and behind us a Delta 767-300. After about 15 minutes of taxiing we pulled onto runway 27R where we sat. After a minute of sitting the breaks were set and the engines spooled up….we sat.
After 15 seconds with the engines spooled the breaks were released and we began slowly rolling down 27R.
Experience has shown me that SAA usually rotates around ramp 1 – between T and A concourses. So looking forward to a full length departure I sat back and enjoyed my tour of 27R.
Around B concourse our nose slowly began to raise, A concourse mains off the ground. Parking deck – passing through about 100 feet. Only 13 hours 59 minutes to go.
Ten minutes after departure we were only climbing through 6,000 feet with the purser giving service information for the flight.
After an hour in flight we were at our initial cruising altitude of 29,000 feet and passing over CHS.
Lunch was being served…
Lunch was the standard Chicken or Beef, I chose the Grilled Chicken and continued watching TV.
Not being one who cares about details of the meal, I'm skipping over that part.
The one thing I wasn't quite ready for when it came to the flight was the amount of time that it was light out, the first 8 to 9 hours of the flight it was day light which seemed to make time pass very slowly.
Night fell and the flight attendants came around with a snack service – snickers ice cream bars. Excellent choice.
The f/a's were fairly frequent with drink service, offering water or OJ throughout the flight.
Four hours after the snickers bar was served the flight attendants came around with a smoked turkey sandwich, which was also quite good. The drink service continued once an hour – and the flight continued. Only 4 hours to go.
About 2 hours prior to landing the lights were switched on and the main cabin screens were switched back on to Air Show, about 600 miles off the coast of Namibia…almost there!
Breakfast was served and the customs forms were passed out.
Hints of sunrise began to appear and that's when I realized that this flight was so long that we had been served lunch, two snacks and had just finished breakfast….we had seen most of a day, sunset all night and now sunrise – kill me.
The captain came on the PA and announced we were starting our decent into Cape Town, and he would be switching on the seat belt sign shortly – decent?
We would be arriving about 30 minutes early into CPT at 7:50 AM local time, landing on runway 19 according to the captain.
Shortly after we made a sweeping turn to the left which brought all of Cape Town into view, the waterfront, table mountain and the city bowl were all visible in the little light that we had at 7:40.
Shortly after we made a smooth landing on runway 19 to begin our hour stop in CPT…still not allowed off the aircraft.
After looking around a little we decided to move to the upper deck which had become open, I took 84K, an exit row window. Right after I was seated the seatbelt sign was switched on and the cabin doors were closed.
Push back started about 10 minutes later and we turned north for our taxi to runway 19.
At the holding point for 19, we waited for a landing King Air to pass and we took our position.
Throttled up and began rolling. After a very short takeoff roll we were airborne and making a left turn towards the northeast and JNB.
Photo © Brian Stevenson - SPOT THIS!
This being a relatively quick flight at only 2 hours, we were up and down in no time, landing in JNB on runway 3R. Made a long taxi to gate A1 and deplaned, finally. In total we spent 18 hours on the plane – 1 hour in ATL, 14 hours in-flight, 1 hour in CPT and 2 hours to JNB.
Customs seemed to take a while, but I wasn't exactly coherent at that point.
Cleared customs, and claimed our bags…welcome to Jo'berg.
After meeting up with some of the Johannesburg local spotters we rented our cell phone and headed out to do some spotting.
I'll post my trip report from JNB – CPT on Nationwide Airlines and the return to Atlanta shortly.

Texas will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn as unconstitutional a provision of the Voting Rights Act that requires Texas, eight other states and a few smaller jurisdictions to win federal "preclearance," or approval, of any changes they make in election laws, maps and procedures, state Attorney General Greg Abbott said Wednesday.
Abbott made the announcement to the Texas delegation to the Republican National Convention. He was reacting to Tuesday's refusal by a three-judge panel in Washington to approve the Legislature's new congressional and legislative redistricting plans.
"The decision that came out yesterday was one of the most extreme, overreaching decisions I've ever seen, that creates new law, new standards, more onerous than ever before," Abbott said, referring to the Voting Rights Act's preclearance provision.
"If ever there was a catalyst that will lead to the elimination of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, it was this decision yesterday," he said. "And I will be appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging the validity of Section 5."
Abbott's remarks brought about half of the delegates to their feet, cheering and applauding. (The room wasn't very full, though. Bus transportation snafus that caused some delegates not to get to bed Tuesday night until 3 a.m. significantly decreased attendance at Wednesday's delegation briefing.)
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who sets the agenda for the Senate and attended the delegation briefing, said the caustic partisan issue of redistricting will be back on the agenda if the appeals court decision is not revisited.
"It depends upon our appeal to the Supreme Court," Dewhurst said.
If the high court declines to take the appeal, the Legislature will try to redraw its maps, he said, acknowledging that redistricting tends to poison atmosphere for bipartisan cooperation on other important state issues.
"I had hoped we'd put redistricting to bed," Dewhurst said.

As you likely already know, Masi Bicycles is the very, VERY proud bike sponsor of the Kenda Pro Cycling p/b Spinergy cycling team. We've been with the team from the beginning, in 2005, and we're extremely proud of the wins that have come along the way. Sincerely though, what I am personally most proud of is the evolution of the team over the years. From humble beginnings as a giant killer to becoming one of the teams all the other teams have to watch- and increasingly from behind them when the team gets the win.
The first of the team's bikes are built and getting prepped for the team's training camp/ media launch at the "Hincapie Compound" in South Carolina. Hincapie Sportswear has come on as the team's clothing sponsor as well as host to the team's training camp (which I will be attending, so stay tuned for some exclusives).
Check out the team's new rigs for 2009;
It really should be photographed from the rear so that all the other teams will recognize it when they see it...
And the super cool team jersey- pinstripes just never go out of fashion!
We're looking forward to another great year with the team. Stay tuned here for rider bios, conversations with the riders, video and more- as well as guest posts here by the team. 2009 is gonna be very exciting!

Pyxis Brings Beethoven & Faure to Life on Market
By Christine Facciolo
Market Street Music welcomed spring and Pyxis Piano Quartet to its Festival Concert series on Sunday, March 19, 2017, which paired Beethoven's String Trio in G major with Faure's Piano Quartet in C minor.
The Opus 9 string trios offer a fascinating portrait of the young composer bursting with ideas as he took a musical form born as the baroque trio sonata and gave it new life as only he could. But as striking as they are, they represent the last gasp for a form that would soon be eclipsed by the string quartet.
Pyxis wisely chose the first Trio of Op. 9, a gem from its opening note to its last. This performance of the longest and most difficult of the trios earned the ensemble a well-deserved ovation. The opening and closing movements were technically perfect in every dimension. The wonderful slow movement with its pastoral theme in the distant key of E major received a most moving, heart-longing treatment. The breadth of expressiveness was especially remarkable considering the movement's simplicity of form.
A proper contrast to the Adagio came with the buoyancy of the Scherzo and then with even more vitality a throw-caution-to-the-wind finale. All in all, a fitting performance of one of Beethoven's "best works so far."
Violist Amy Leonard introduced the Faure Piano Quartet by telling the audience that while she and her colleagues couldn't offer Paris in springtime, they could bring a bit of the city into First & Central Presbyterian Church.
Leonard also noted that while the work is cast in a minor key, it's a "happy minor," with a positive tone albeit with some hints in the slow movement of the turmoil in Faure's personal life at the time of composition.
Leonard contextualized the work by noting that just as Beethoven was a transitional figure between the Classical and Romantic periods, Faure stood at the crossroads of the Romantic and modern eras. Indeed, Romanticism and its doleful heroics are left behind in this work. The first movement is a fluid blending of energy and lyricism. The high-spirited and virtuosic Scherzo delights with pizzicato-pricked perpetuum mobile fantasy. The grand Adagio imbues profound passion with classical restraint and balance. A soaring Allegro caps all with a shimmering major/minor gaiety.
Balance, ensemble, superb intonation and sensitive interpretation characterized this performance. None of the loud passages were overplayed. When one player had a solo passage, they came out just enough then returned to their dynamic place.
Special honors go to pianist Hiroko Yamazaki. Pianists have a special balance problem when playing in quartets because the sound of their instrument is so much fuller than a single string instrument. Not so here. Yamazaki was always at the correct level. Quite remarkable!

Market Street Music's Season Opens with Pyxis Piano Quartet
By Christine Facciolo
Pyxis Piano Quartet opened a new season of Market Street Music Festival Concerts Saturday, October 1, 2016 with its usual combination of superb playing and interesting programming. The ensemble consisted of Luigi Mazzocchi, violin; Amy Leonard, viola; Jie Jin, cello and Hiroko Yamazaki, piano.
The bulk of the program featured two works written a century apart: Mozart's Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major (K. 493) and Richard Strauss' Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op. 13.
Luckily for us, when Mozart's publisher canceled his commission for a series of piano quartets, the composer had already completed the second quartet and it was published by another firm in 1786. K.493 is one of Mozart's greatest compositions and a classic of the genre with its pristine form, gracious themes and exquisite interplay between instruments.
The first movement — Allegro — begins intensely but offers gracious themes throughout. The Larghetto is a richly conceived slow movement featuring an exquisite interplay among piano and strings. The third movement Rondo — Allegretto — is full of fire and energy with a prominent piano.
Pyxis was most sympathetic to this spacious and outgoing work. Particularly attractive were the gently springy rhythms and exquisite phrasing of the strings in the first movement and Yamazaki's beautifully shaped phrasing in the Larghetto.
Whereas Mozart wrote his quartet at the height of his musical maturity, Strauss was a mere 20 and very much in the thrall of Brahms when he composed his work. The result is an unusual fusion of musical personalities: the gravitas of Brahms and the fire and impetuousness of the young Strauss. Rich and dark, the work is full of blazing energy.
The playing has all the attributes you would expect from Pyxis: impeccable intonation and fluid tempos that allowed the music to flow in unbroken phrases. The players were individually excellent, as was Mazzocchi's rendering of the main theme of the Andante and Yamazaki's voicing of the chords supporting him. But they are at their best when they function as an ensemble, as in the tight Scherzo or the virtuosic interplay of the closing Vivace.
The evening opened sans piano with the playful Mozart En Route (A Little Traveling Music) by Aaron Jay Kernis, past recipient of the A.I. duPont Composer's Award. Inspired by a letter from Mozart to his father, in which he complains of being jostled during a particularly rough carriage ride, Kerns' short (three-minute) string trio takes listeners on a whimsical musical trip from Salzburg to Nashville and back. Thematic variation is the rule as familiar-sounding pop styles interweave with the classical tradition with several quotations from Mozart's Divertimento for Strings, K. 563.
Broad Street Review
Wister and More! presents the Pyxis Piano Quartet
Pyxis's musical journey Margaret Darby
September 19, 2016 in Music
The large and regal building of the German Society of Pennsylvania houses an elegant auditorium used for many functions, including a concert series. This week, the Wister and More! Series hosted a concert by the Pyxis Piano Quartet.
Delaware audiences have embraced the four-woman team, which was founded in 2009. Their concerts at the Delaware Art Museum are mobbed. Music quartets require a relationship as intimate as, or more so than many marriages. They must rehearse constantly to develop that ability to think, breathe, and play collectively, and the ensemble dominates
their lives.
The group's founding violinist, Meredith Amado, moved to a small town in rural Maine, so they are looking for a new violinist. For this concert, they appeared with guest violinist Eliezer Gutman, concertmaster of the Kennett Symphony, Allentown Symphony, and Opera Delaware. Born in Romania, Mr. Gutman has both a highly polished technique and lighthearted spirit when he plays the violin.
The first piece, Mozart en Route, a trio by Aaron Jay Kernis, was written for children, and was inspired by a letter from Mozart in which he complained that his carriage journey was rough. The performance might have been more effective if they slowed it down, but playing at the tempo they used meant the reverberations of the room made the sudden jazz licks and folk flourishes hard to hear.
When pianist Hiroko Yamazaki joined the trio for Mozart's Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat major, K. 493, her ability to produce quiet gossamer whispers on the Bösendorfer grand piano gave the group a chance to take advantage of that reflective sound. Each voice entered as if the stage had been cleared for takeoff. This was beautifully executed in the contrapuntal sections of the third movement. The timing, dynamics and voices came together, and the result was a thrilling, yet delicate, rendition. The violin and viola were so closely aligned that when they exchanged voices they used the same register and intonation, becoming almost indistinguishable.
The Piano Quartet in C minor, Opus 13 by Richard Strauss, showed both his fascination with Brahms and the early harmonic experiments that led to his tone poems. The string writing pushed the string players to the fore, sometimes at a frenetic pace in the scherzo. The andante, which has some of the most Brahmsian melodic writing, was calmer. In this movement, Strauss wrote some wonderful melodic lines for the cello, which Jie Jin unfolded with melting lyricism.
Ms. Yamazaki has played with the Delaware Symphony as a guest artist many times and the three string players have been members as well, but for them to produce such a cohesive performance with a new violinist is remarkable. The challenge of seeking someone new for their ensemble will be a maturing journey for the group and seems to be a very musical one as well.
On October 1, 2014, Amy returns as guest artist with the wonderful La Bernardinia baroque ensemble. The program consists of German quartets and trio sonatas by Bach, Telemann, and Quantz. Part of their lunchtime series, the concert is at 12:30, at Church of the Holy Trinity, 1904 Walnut St., Philadelphia. Free will offering accepted. www.bernardinia.org

- provides support for instructional innovation, and for the best possible teaching and learning circumstances for participating faculty and students.
Vision Statement
The Davidson Honors College aspires to become a program of national distinction, recognized as one of the most comprehensive and innovative Honors programs in the nation.
Originally founded in 1981, the Honors Program at The University of Montana began its life in a small office in Corbin Hall with a part-time director, Classics Professor John Madden, and a part-time secretary. Over the next decade the number of students in the program grew from a few dozen to approximately 300. In 1991, following a lengthy planning process and approval by the UM Faculty Senate, the UM Administration, and the Board of Regents, the Honors Program was transformed into an Honors College. Professor John Madden was selected as the College's first Dean. The new Honors College was housed in a small third-floor office in Main Hall, where Dean Madden and the College's secretary/advisor received and worked with the increasing number of students who wanted to take advantage of the academic and social opportunities the College could offer them.
In spring 1996, thanks to a large gift from UM alumni Nancy and Ian Davidson, and with the support of many other alumni and friends, the Honors College and its now 500 students were able to move into a marvelous new building located on the Oval just southwest of Main Hall. At that time, it became officially known as the Davidson Honors College. Due to the building's exemplary facilities, the DHC has since become a favorite location for many campus events, lectures, workshops, receptions, and courses, and has played a central role in the life of the campus.
On July 1, 2005, James McKusick became the third dean of the Davidson Honors College. In response to a growing need for professional advising and mentoring in the DHC, the half-time Academic Advisor position was reconfigured as a full-time position, and in August 2005 Laure Pengelly Drake was hired as the DHC's first Director of Advising and External Scholarships. Laure has mentored candidates for such prestigious awards as the Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, Truman, Goldwater, Udall, and Jack Kent Cooke scholarships.
In Fall, 2015, the DHC welcomed Brock Tessman as the current dean of the Davidson Honors College. Dean Brock Tessman comes to the Davidson Honors College after nine years at the University of Georgia. At the University of Georgia, Tessman was an Associate Professor of International Affairs, Director of Graduate Programs in the School of Public and International Affairs, and Associate Director at the UGA Center for the Study of Global Issues. He was also extensively involved in teaching, advising, and scholarship advising through the nationally recognized UGA Honors Program.
The Office for Civic Engagement
The Office for Civic Engagement (OCE) began as Volunteer Action Services in the spring of 1992. Volunteer Action Services (VAS) was a program of the Davidson Honors College designed to coordinate student volunteerism on campus and in the community. The office served as a resource center for all students to identify potential volunteer opportunities and match students with community agencies in need of service. VAS coordinated a variety of service projects throughout the school year to expose students to the benefits of volunteering and offered service-based internships for students to gain credit for coordinating volunteerism. For the first three years the program was staffed by a part-time director and student interns.
In 2001, new programs were developed by Volunteer Action Services that encompassed an expansion of efforts to engage students and faculty in academic work in collaboration with community organizations. As a result, an additional staff member was added and the name changed to the Office for Civic Engagement (OCE). The OCE operates as a program of the Davidson Honors College and is housed in the lower level of the DHC building. The OCE employs one director, two program managers, two AmeriCorps team leaders, one graduate student assistant, nine student AmeriCorps members, and two student employees.

I went to Cabazon, with all those dinosaurs, to shoot my movie review of "Land of the Lost." I love that fun and cheesy place, I'm always up for fun and cheese
(To read my complete movie review of "Land of the Lost" click here)
Here's my review, and have fun!

I enjoyed this film! It's a bittersweet comedy about a couple (John Krasinksi and Maya Rudolph) looking for the perfect nest to raise their child. Director Sam Mendes ("Revolutionary Road," "American Beauty") knows how to make searing and memorable films. You will not be able to forget this couple taking a road trip in search of a perfect home.
It's the sweetest movie you should see this summer! The script by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida is smart and powerful, and I love the original music by Alex Murdoch.
Watch out for Maggie Gyllenhaal's scene-stealing performance as LN, a seemingly progressive mother who may be hiding a thing or two.
I will be posting my interviews with Krasinksi, Rudolph, and Mendes very, very soon. Wait 'til you see those interviews
But for now, make a date for "Away We Go." It opens in limited release this Friday, June 5th.
Visit the official website right here.

As we reported back in October, Josh Brolin is starring as "Jonah Hex." He'll play a former confederate soldier-turned bounty hunter and gunslinger. John Malkovich will play the villain Turnbull. Based on the DC comic book, this film will tell the horrifying tale of "Jonah Hex."
Now, look at Brolin's transformation as "Jonah Hex." Look at that scowl!

Actor David Carradine, famous for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" and starred in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and "Kill Bill Vol. 2" has been found dead in Bangkok.
The U.S. Embassy confirmed the death of the actor but did not provide further details out of consideration for Carradine's family. U.S. Embassy spokesman Michael Turner revealed the actor died either late Wednesday or early Thursday.
He was 72.
Many sources, including the website of the the newspaper The Nation, are saying Carradine was found hanging in his luxury hotel room and is believed to have committed suicide.

Another generation, another "Hamlet" adaptation. This time, the William Shakespeare masterpiece is getting a makeover with a modern-day take ala Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
In "Hamlet," Emile Hirsch is on board to star as the doomed prince.
"Twilight's" Catherine Hardwicke is set to direct from a script currently being adapted by "Philadelphia's" Ron Nyswaner. Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen are producing.
Hirsch previously worked with Jinks and Cohen for "Milk," and the actor also worked with Hardwicke for "Lords of Dogtown."

Project euler memo: redoing with new ID
Just a week ago, I was able to sing in to Project Euler and I solved one. Then I went there again, and I cannot sign in again. My browser caches my password, that's not because I am typing wrong password.
Anyway, I set up a new ID and started redoing the problems with it. This time, I am using Haskell from the beginning. I have finished first 10 problems. My new sticker is the one below.

Project euler memo: Problem 587
Problem 587: Yesterday I got a comment from pipilu in this blog that I have been away from Project euler for a long time. I was thinking that my account was locked, but I was able to sign in today. It seems it is about one year and half since last time I solved one and they added about 70 problems.
Anyway I chose one that looks easiest from the latest problems. It is easy.

bubble sort and its animation
When somebody was talking about bubble sort, I needed to check wikipedia to see what that is :-) and I understood the algorithm.
The algorithm move a value from the left to the right until it finds a proper position, then it goes back to the next value to repeat the same thing.
The algorithm is pretty procedural, how should I write a functional code for this algorithm? My solution in Python is the following.
Knowing that the right most value is fixed after each scan() and scan() does the inner loop in the first code. So bubble() does bubble() for smaller subset in it.
I rewrote the Python code in Haskell.
This is not a algorithmic interest but something impressed me very much was the animation in the wikipedia article.
I wanted to do this myself, so I used matplotlib to that by googling everywhere.
The algorithm for bubble sort is in gen_points() which is a procedural one.
There are 100 random values. X-axis indicates their positions and Y-axis indicates their values.
I uploaded the animation to youtube, which is the first video I published.

Project euler memo: Problem 510
Problem 510: Easy. 1.5 min in Golang.
Friday, August 14, 2015
Memory size with Golang
In the previous post, I complained on the slowness of Golang. It seems that it is because that I requested more memory than the machine has. In the following snippet, by default, 's' is zero-initialized and the program should print only the size of memory, in this case:
memory size is 4000000000
But if the length of array is 500*10^6, the program finds lots of non-zero elements. If the length is one tenth, i.e. 50*10^6, there is no problem. Since my machine is a Macbook air with 4GB DRAM, now I am thinking that Golang has some problem with memory size, but not very sure.
(Update 8/17/2015) This happens the array size is over 2GB. There is a discussion here.
package main import ( "fmt" "unsafe" ) var s [500000000] int func main () { mx := 500000000 fmt.Println("memory size is", unsafe.Sizeof(s)) for i:=0; i< mx; i+=1 { if s[i] != 0 { fmt.Println(i) } } }
Project euler memo: Problem 512
Problem 512: Counting the sum of Euler's totient. Basically I did brute-force. At first I tried to do it in Golang, but it took forever to initialize a prime sieve. Then I did the same thing in C++ and it just takes 40 seconds. Up until 1/10 of the size, Golang does it fast enough.
Congratulations, the answer you gave to problem 512 is correct.
You are the 503rd person to have solved this problem.

Project euler memo: problem 504
Problem 504: Counting the number of lattice points in rectangles. It's been 7 months since last time I solved a problem. I chose the easiest problem by difficulty rate. Simple brute force in Python. 5 minutes.
(update 8/12)
I re-wrote it in Golang, including the suggestions in the forum. Now it runs in 1.2 seconds.

Binary search on an array
I read a conference paper lately that has a pseudo code. In the code, there was a binary search and I noticed that the algorithm does not stop. That part in the paper is not very important but I myself confused at first, so I make it clear.
I took a look at Knuth's TAOCP and I translated the description into Python:
# search key between [l,u] # returns -1 on failure def search1(key, arr): l = 0 u = len(arr)-1 while l<=u: m = (l+u)/2 if arr[m] == key: return m elif arr[m] > key: u = m-1 else: l = m+1 return -1
This is simple and it has the case for failure.
What happens if the upper limit is an open end? I re-wrote it in this way.
# search key between [l,u) # you need to be sure that you have an answer in arr def search2(key,arr): l = 0 u = len(arr) while l+1<u: m = (l+u)/2 if arr[m] > key: u = m else: l = m return l
It does not have the case for failure so you need to be careful when you call it. There is a trick to compare l and u this case.
The algorithm in the paper is a mix of these and it does not stop.

When you live in a country that doesn't always guarantee the best outdoor weather, soft play can become a regular favourite with us mums who want to let our kids let off a little steam, give them some fun exercise and give ourselves a bit of Mummy time too in the process. Here's my 6 favourite soft plays in Edinburgh.
1. Time Twisters
Think Egypt meets Indiana Jones. The themed décor here is fab for sparking those young imaginations and they are quite possibly taking in a bit of history at the same time as all that climbing, crawling, clambering and chasing too.
2. Gambado
There's so much on offer here that no two trips are the same and you'll be lucky if you see your child the whole time your there. It's always busy and very noisy but the kids love it.
3. Ocean Play Centre
Ball Play, Surf Rider and Zoopa Cannon, even just saying them sounds fun. I like the role-play zones in here, which are nice for younger kids. They have a mini supermarket, pizza delivery play area and garage with real scooters!
4. Tumbles
Right on the beach at Portobello, I've found this a godsend when I was trying to have some fresh outdoorsy fun and the weather changed my plans. Good distinct zones for different age groups so that the wee ones don't get run over by energetic bigger kids.
5. Scrambles Soft Play
The soft play at the EICA only goes up to age 9 (probably because there is much more exciting, climbing related things for older kids to do in the climbing arena) but this makes it a very toddler/tweenie friendly soft play so if your kids are younger I'd recommend here. Their coffee is good too.
6. Jungle Adventure
Brand new to Edinburgh, located at the end of Easter Road, (used to be Leith Waterworld) so expect state of the art playing facilities that include the Biff Bash Forest, Spiders Web Astra Slide, 3D Rope Maze, Roller Challenge Zone and Drop Slide. You can even drive a safari quad around their track. I haven't been yet but plan to go soon.
So that's the kids sorted, it might not be a quiet environment for you to have some mummy time but while they are busy you'll definitely have an hour or more to yourself.
If you're like me and you can zone out despite the noise, get a coffee and read a book or magazine.
I've been known to switch off and de-stress by playing something like candy crush or bingo online, click here for bingo online.
If you're surfing the web, don't forget to check out this new app. I've downloaded the Edinburgh Mums App and so far I am very impressed. It has loads of special offers and treats for mums for when you have the kids in tow or for when you have some real, no kids me time. All local, just for us.
Finally if it's too noisy for you to concentrate on any of the above, just look around you. There will be loads of other Mums there too, all there for the same reasons, so why not make a new friend?

About Me
This is my first year of studying AS photography. I have been set many tasks and challenges, which I have posted on my blog and analyzed the tasks in full detail. This helps me to understand my mistakes and try to improve my work. I am enjoying the subject and I am learning new things every lesson involving photography and the use of Photoshop. I have titled each individual task clearly, making it easier to understand which tasks have been set. The work below is the tasks I have set myself, which I have been working towards to achieve my final piece, which is the study of natural form.
i have chosen to look at landscapes still ife, naturalform and close ups
Milestone Images I Recreated
The above slide show, is displaying the images I created using my own initiative to describe the life processes of natural forms and some which I recreated from my artist who inspired me. These artists were Karl Blossfeldt and Edward Western.
Developed Photographs
I developed this image in the dark room. I used a negative photo strip and projected it on to a piece of white photo-paper. I then went through a long process of placing it in different types of liquids over the photo paper, in order for the photo to truly develop and this is my result.
I decided to change the original image on Photoshop, using different light exposures, shadows plus colours to change the effect of the photograph to demonstrate how Photoshop can easily manipulate the original picture dramatically to convey another meaning. For instance, once I added a bold red to the last image, the image took a modern appearance instead of looking like an old fashioned photograph.
Andy Warhol Recreation
For this task I used my scanned in banana to create a banana in an Andy Warhol style. I used Photoshop to create light and dark shadows over the banana, I then selected the bananas non-transparent pixels and made certain areas of the banana black, which is in keeping with the Andy Warhole's style. After this I blended in the colour of the background and changed the pictures background with four different vibrant colours. I am pleased with the outcome of the images as it does represent Andy Warhol's style which I tried to capture. However, due to the changes in the shadowing, the visibility of the bananas was become very faint, so it could be interpreted as another object.
For my next set of photographs I have structured them in order of factors, which I used for inspiration in my images. I have focused first on the nature of landscapes, second the nature of still life, then I looked at the natural form in art and finally I have included close ups of natural forms.
David Hockney (Landscapes)
Hockney has really captured the countryside genre through the use of different shades of greens and yellows to create the different shaped fields. I like the painting because through the use of different shades of colour it makes the image look more like a photograph and more realistic. The painting is very detailed, the lines are very precise and the colours are correct, as they are what you see and expect from the countryside. This picture will help inspire my final project, which I plan to do on nature because the image displays bright and attractive colours, which are involved in nature making the topic more interesting and exciting. I also admire this image as Hockney has painted his picture at a high angle, helping to show more of the surrounding area, which are fields. This also puts more emphasis on the countryside's unique feature that is the windy roads, due to the focus being higher, enabling Hockney to create a higher and thinner windy road. For instance, if Hockney painted the country side image at a low-level height, it would be hard for him to demonstrate the height of the countryside's features and Hockney would not have enough space to fit as much on to his page. Hockney has really consider how he is going to present this image on paper by using paint and he has succeed in grabbing his audiences attention. His techniques will be useful to me in deciding what to do for my final project.
For my final project I want to capture a variety of images of nature and people fall under that category. The image presented portrays the normal average household with artwork on the wall, a house phone and a chair. This picture inspires me as it captures, average people in an elegant and professional way through use of plain colours and objects in their living environment. The picture creates a calm atmosphere, as the colours are very neutral and light. Plus I like the picture because of the great detail, which has been exposed to the image. The rug in particular is very detailed, showing every pattern stitched into the rug making the image very unique and interesting.
I like this image because each individual tree looks unique and contains lots of detail. Hockney has also added a large amount of detail to the pathway by painting different strokes of grey, which are dark and light colours. Making the image very realistic. The varieties of greens used are very bright, producing a happy and fun atmosphere, which will appeal to a large audience. Also the image portrays the natural environment for animals and insects. This will offer me ideas for how to present my final project, whether I should show nature through landscape or through insects and animals.

"He's making a list; he's checking it twice!"
It's his busiest time of year but even Santa Claus needs somewhere to shop in time for delivering presents at Christmas.
Santa will be arriving at Houndshill Shopping Centre on December 3, following a sleigh ride around the town centre where everyone is encouraged to take part, before settling into his grotto where he can be found every Saturday and the week leading up to Christmas.
The parade starts at 10am on Coronation Street and will go around the outside of the Houndshill where members of the Radio Wave Street Team will be handing out treats to children along the way.
Santa's arrival will kick-off a season of events at the shopping centre in the run up to the big day, including give-aways, competitions and some special guests.
Children also have the chance to post their letters to Santa with the help of Houndshill's own North pole direct postal service.
The post box will be located on the main mall and children can post their letters up until December 21.
Children should include their name and address so that Santa can write back to them.
Houndshill have been working with Rotary Blackpool South to raise awareness for local worthy causes, including Blood Bikes, the North West Air Ambulance and the RNLI.
The Rotary Blackpool South has been part of one of the world's largest services organisation Rotary International for 64 years and its volunteers are always looking to identify opportunities to put something back into the community.
President-elect Eric Hind said: "We are so grateful to Houndshill Shopping Centre for their support.
"This is a great example of communities working together here in the resort."
Debbs Lancelott, manager of Houndshill Shopping Centre, said: "We feel really privileged to be working with the Rotary and very excited to welcome Santa to the centre on his sleigh.
"We realise he is a very busy man this time of year but it's great he can spare the time to set up his grotto before he delivers his presents."
Houndshill is open for late-night shopping every Thursday in December until 9pm .
And parking costs £1 after 5pm.

The rainbow blocks have been rediscovered by the kids and they spent nearly an hour building outside in the sun with them or using them as glasses and viewing everything in a different color!
When we moved back inside we transitioned the blocks to the window and the kids were amazed to discover that they produced colored shadows on the wall right by the table! They had a great time trying to "touch" the shadows with their own shadows and hands, as well as building new towers and watching how the shadows changed too!!
This post contains affiliate links for your convenience
We LOVE these rainbow blocks! I have two sets and we usually use them outside or on the light table. If you don't have these you could easily do this activity with shapes cut from transparent file folders or dividers! Just tape them to a window and have fun manipulating the shadows they create! 🙂
We also used the colored shadows for a color matching activity you can find here

COE Leadership Council
June 16, 2016
9:00 – 10:00 a.m.
Hill 314
Attendees: David Hough, Tami Arthaud, Gilbert Brown, Scott Fiedler, Deanna Hallgren, Cathy Pearman, Debra Price, James Sottile, Denise Cunningham, Candace Fairbairn, Kim Dubree, Juli Panza
Guest: Angie Miller, Dept. Chair of Teacher Education and A.A.T. Coordinator, OTCC
Angie Miller attended the meeting to discuss the Statewide Articulation Agreement Between Missouri Four-Year Colleges and Universities and Missouri Public Community Colleges for the Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT). Dean Hough handed out copies of the OTC-MSU October 1, 2015 meeting on enrollment highlights. MSU had 714 transfers from OTC during 2015, with 45 to the College of Education. Angie asked everyone to discuss what will and won't work for the classes listed in the ATT. The following courses were discussed:
Educational Psychology
– DESE now has 3 requirements that our PSYC360 meets. The OTC EDU250 syllabus does not mention child and adolescent psychology. It was recommended to change the language in the syllabus.
Educational Technology
– No changes recommended
Foundations of Education in a Diverse Society
– This needs to be compared to our course, EDC345, which includes our students being involved in a community service project. Dean Hough mentioned the summer intersession Study Away Program to Alabama. He would like to promote it to students at OTC for next summer. Angie mentioned there could be financial problems for some of the students. Even so, Angie would like to work with COE to explore options and communicate the opportunity to OTC students. Gilbert asked if the program could also be for non-education students. We could work with other departments to make it work. Community members could also participate. The Dean suggested OTC faculty meet with MSU faculty who teach EDC 345, so they can share course content, approaches, and expectations. Cathy Pearman said she and Tuesda Roberts will work with Angie to make the class work.
Dean Hough said the students that transfer to our college from OTC tend to complete programs in good standing and asked Angie if she knew why the numbers are going down and if she tracks AAT students. Angie said the 2.75 GPA could be a factor and that she does not track AAT students. OTC students that register early and have a higher GPA seem to do better as far as continuing with their education.
Teaching Profession with Field Experience
– Angie removed the heavy emphasis on teacher professionalism. There were not any concerns about this course.
The next step is for Angie to make revisions to the AAT document.
Gilbert Brown discussed the COE initiatives with China. He was recently in China on an exploratory trip. He attended alumni reunion events, visited universities and some of the landmarks. MSU has three MOUs with Chinese institutions. The one between Liaoning Normal University and Greenwood High School is the best one to articulate with. He would like to see us get involved with some of the institutions. We need to develop programs with faculty, not just have them go as if it is a vacation. Last fall ten students from Hainan came to MSU and took some classes. Gilbert asked Jim Baker to give him a best practices template to work with. Dean Hough said the purpose for working with the various universities is for their students to earn a degree that would help them when they go back. Gilbert is going to talk to Emmett Sawyer regarding working with the MAT Program. It is a good idea to have community events for the international students to be involved in when they are here.
Gilbert also talked about the upcoming Springfield MarooNation Ball on June 25th. This is the first time the alumni association is having one here. It is an opportunity for faculty and staff to attend. The dean has paid for a table of ten, which should consist of eight alumni and friends of the college and two COE faculty/staff. Email Gilbert if you would be interested in attending.
James Sottile & Scott Fiedler discussed the Temporary Authorization Certificate (TAC). The certificate will only be used selectively for those students we have no way to help. It will not be posted on the web. Let James or Scott know if you have any questions about it.
The meeting adjourned at 10:05 a.m. Department Heads were asked to stay and meet with the dean to discuss workloads, summer teaching, and leave reporting.
