The Register notes:
What may be the science story of the century is breaking this evening, as heavyweight US solar physicists announce that the Sun appears to be headed into a lengthy spell of low activity, which could mean that the Earth – far from facing a global warming problem – is actually headed into a mini Ice Age.
The announcement made on 14 June (18:00 UK time) comes from scientists at the US National Solar Observatory (NSO) and US Air Force Research Laboratory. Three different analyses of the Sun's recent behaviour all indicate that a period of unusually low solar activity may be about to begin.
This could have major implications for the Earth's climate. According to a statement issued by the NSO, announcing the research:
An immediate question is whether this slowdown presages a second Maunder Minimum, a 70-year period with virtually no sunspots [which occurred] during 1645-1715.
As NASA notes:
Early records of sunspots indicate that the Sun went through a period of inactivity in the late 17th century. Very few sunspots were seen on the Sun from about 1645 to 1715. Although the observations were not as extensive as in later years, the Sun was in fact well observed during this time and this lack of sunspots is well documented. This period of solar inactivity also corresponds to a climatic period called the "Little Ice Age" when rivers that are normally ice-free froze and snow fields remained year-round at lower altitudes. There is evidence that the Sun has had similar periods of inactivity in the more distant past.
During the Maunder Minimum and for periods either side of it, many European rivers which are ice-free today – including the Thames – routinely froze over, allowing ice skating and even for armies to march across them in some cases.
"This is highly unusual and unexpected," says Dr Frank Hill of the NSO. "But the fact that three completely different views of the Sun point in the same direction is a powerful indicator that the sunspot cycle may be going into hibernation."
According to the NSO:
Penn and Livingston observed that the average field strength declined about 50 gauss per year during Cycle 23 and now in Cycle 24. They also observed that spot temperatures have risen exactly as expected for such changes in the magnetic field. If the trend continues, the field strength will drop below the 1,500 gauss threshold and spots will largely disappear as the magnetic field is no longer strong enough to overcome convective forces on the solar surface.
In parallel with this comes research from the US Air Force's studies of the solar corona.
"Cycle 24 started out late and slow and may not be strong enough to create a rush to the poles, indicating we'll see a very weak solar maximum in 2013, if at all. If the rush to the poles fails to complete, this creates a tremendous dilemma for the theorists … No one knows what the Sun will do in that case."
According to the collective wisdom of the NSO, another Maunder Minimum may very well be on the cards.
"If we are right," summarises Hill, "this could be the last solar maximum we'll see for a few decades. That would affect everything from space exploration to Earth's climate."
The big consequences of a major solar calm spell, however, would be climatic. The next few generations of humanity might not find themselves trying to cope with global warming but rather with a significant cooling. This could overturn decades of received wisdom on such things as CO2 emissions, and lead to radical shifts in government policy worldwide.
The Telegraph confirms:
Sunspot activity, which follows an 11-year cycle, is due to peak in 2013 after which it will start to wane slightly.
But astronomers think the next upswing will be less intensive than normal, or could fail to happen at all.
That could affect weather on Earth because low solar activity has been linked to low global temperatures in the past.
Between 1645 and 1715 almost no sunspots were observed, a solar period which came to be called the Maunder Minimum.
During those decades Europe suffered frequent unusually harsh winters, and the time was later termed the Little Ice Age.
Three studies, presented at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society's solar physics division, all point towards declining sunspot activity into the next decade.
Frank Hill, of the National Solar Observatory in New Mexico, who worked on one of the studies, said: "The fact that there are three separate lines of evidence all pointing in the same direction is very compelling."
But Joanna Haigh professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College London, said global warming could override any cooling effect on the Earth's climate.
However, she cautioned: "Even if the predictions are correct, the effect of global warming will outstrip the sun's ability to cool even in the coldest scenario.
"And in any case, the cooling effect is only ever temporary. When the sun's activity returns to normal, the greenhouse gases won't have gone away."
And Agence France-Presse reports:
For years, scientists have been predicting the Sun would by around 2012 move into solar maximum, a period of intense flares and sunspot activity, but lately a curious calm has suggested quite the opposite.
According to three studies released in the United States on Tuesday, experts believe the familiar sunspot cycle may be shutting down and heading toward a pattern of inactivity unseen since the 17th century.
The signs include a missing jet stream, fading spots, and slower activity near the poles, said experts from the National Solar Observatory and Air Force Research Laboratory.
"This is highly unusual and unexpected," said Frank Hill, associate director of the NSO's Solar Synoptic Network, as the findings of the three studies were presented at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Solar Physics Division in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
"But the fact that three completely different views of the Sun point in the same direction is a powerful indicator that the sunspot cycle may be going into hibernation."
Solar activity tends to rise and fall every 11 years or so. The solar maximum and solar minimum each mark about half the interval of the magnetic pole reversal on the Sun, which happens every 22 years.
Hill said the current cycle, number 24, "may be the last normal one for some time and the next one, cycle 25, may not happen for some time.
"This is important because the solar cycle causes space weather which affects modern technology and may contribute to climate change," he told reporters.
Experts are now probing whether this period of inactivity could be a second Maunder Minimum, which was a 70-year period when hardly any sunspots were observed between 1645-1715, a period known as the "Little Ice Age."
"If we are right, this could be the last solar maximum we'll see for a few decades. That would affect everything from space exploration to Earth's climate," said Hill.
This trend could explain why we haven't experienced any warming recently. As AFP notes:
"Recent solar 11-year cycles are associated empirically with changes in global surface temperature of 0.1 Celsius," said Judith Lean, a solar physicist with the US Naval Research Laboratory.
If the cycle were to stop or slow down, the small fluctuation in temperature would do the same, eliminating the slightly cooler effect of a solar minimum compared to the warmer solar maximum. The phenomenon was witnessed during the descending phase of the last solar cycle.
This "cancelled part of the greenhouse gas warming of the period 2000-2008, causing the net global surface temperature to remain approximately flat — and leading to the big debate of why the Earth hadn't (been) warming in the past decade," Lean, who was not involved in the three studies presented, said in an email to AFP.
A study in the March 2010 issue of Geophysical Research Letters explored what effect an extended solar minimum might have, and found no more than a 0.3 Celsius dip by 2100 compared to normal solar fluctuations.
"A new Maunder-type solar activity minimum cannot offset the global warming caused by human greenhouse gas emissions," wrote authors Georg Feulner and Stefan Rahmstorf, noting that forecasts by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have found a range of 3.7 Celsius to 4.5 Celsius rise by this century's end compared to the latter half of the 20th century.
"Moreover, any offset of global warming due to a grand minimum of solar activity would be merely a temporary effect, since the distinct solar minima during the last millennium typically lasted for only several decades or a century at most."

Shade Spotlight
Ali Zoya Polish
It`s fbulous. Constanly get comments "I Love Your Polish." I only wish they made it shiny & not matte. I know it`s shiny with the top coat, but like the extra shine.
Zoya Nail Polish | AliLove
I had to get Ali, partly because of the whole glowing, neon pink thing, and also I`ve heard it`s the polish in the opening credits of PLL ;) I love Ali! Super shiny with a top coat, and wears amazingly well.
Zoya Nail Polish | AliBright!
I chose Ali because it shares a name with my daughter. I didn`t really like the picure on the Zoya website but after googling swatches I thought I would like it... well, it arrived, and I LOVE it! It is a super bright, neon-ish pink! I say neon-ish because it doesn`t look neon in some lights, and others it does. The finish is a little different, almost a satin finish, so I suggest using a top coat if you like shiny/glossy polish. Coverage and application is amazing. So happy with it!
Zoya Nail Polish | AliGlow in the dark...finally
I finally found the neon shade I have been looking for....love it!
Zoya Nail Polish | Alineon in a bottle
this is definitely more neon and super opaque. more suited for a teenager or child. needs a topcoat to give it shine. super beautiful though and my girls` fav polish!
Zoya Nail Polish | AliRetina-burning awesomeness
I love this color; it looks great on my toes! I would say it`s slightly more coral/warm-toned than the swatch looks here. Opaque in 2 coats and wore great on my toes.
Zoya Nail Polish | AliPerfect pink!
Fantastic formula and HOT pink shade! The perfect pink!
Zoya Nail Polish | Alihot pink only 10x prettier
I bought this for my 13 year old picky daughter and she loves the color. I only wish I would have bought another bottle for myself.
Zoya Nail Polish | AliSuper bright, perfect pink!
I`m not a pink girl. Zoya makes a million, but I own maybe five. This is compared to the dozens of blue and green polishes I wear on a usual basis. But Ali is super bright, super pink, yet totally fun and wearable. It applies really well and dries ridiculously fast too thanks to its neon quality.
Zoya Nail Polish | AliHot!
My 12 year old absolutely loves this color. I bought it as a present for another girl who bares the same name as the polish, but my daughter refused to give it away. It is very bright, but really fun and flashy. I would wear this color as well on a nice summery beach day!
Zoya Nail Polish | AliNot what I thought it`d be :/
This color is fun and pretty, but it doesn`t look the same as it does online. In person it looks like neon pink, whereas online it`s a bit darker. It worked out because I gave it to my sister who adores it, and now she`s a Zoya fan too.
Zoya Nail Polish | AliFAVORITE Pink!
This color is GORGEOUS, and the picture/swatch doesn`t do it justice. It`s a creamy, somewhat neon, hot-pink, and has become my favorite pink polish. Applies amazing, dries fast. Very opaque.

Scale and Compass Image for Orion Nebula
Orion Nebula, M42, NGC 1976
The distance to the Orion Nebula is 1,500 light-years (460 parsecs).
The color image is 7.9 arcminutes (3.4 light-years or 1.1 parsecs) wide.
ACS/WFC: F435W (B), F555W (V), and F775W (i)
The color image is a composite mosaic of many separate exposures made by the ACS and WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope using several different filters isolating the light of specific elements or of specific broad wavelength ranges. The color arises by assigning different hues (colors), to each monochromatic image. In this case, the colors are:
Blue: F435W (B)
Cyan: F555W (V)
Yellow: F775W (i)
Red: F139M

It is understandable that nations may undertake operations against other nations. This is believed to be the origin of StuxNet after all. What is more disturbing is when a government will use malware against its own citizens, as discoveredin the last couple of weeks in Germany. What is especially disturbing is this quote:
In one case, the trojan was installed on a suspect's laptop while he was passing through customs & immigration at the Munich International airport.
Think about the implications of this for a minute. If challenged, we're required to show proof that a computer is actually a working computer. That's understandable. But in this case an agent was able to access the laptop in a way that specifically allowed for the trojan to be installed. There are quite a few attack vectors but the simplest would be to have a USB flash drive with a potential exploit that isn't patched yet. You turn on the laptop, you are distracted by another agent, and the agent armed with the laptop inserts the USB drive, which launches the silent install, and then quickly unplugs the drive and the laptop is infected. Yes, it would mean finding an exploit in the OS, but if you're already a government investing in malware against your own citizens, why wouldn't you fund research/pay for an exploit? It all gets downright Orwellian.
The paranoid side of me says to fully encrypt the drives and ship the laptop ahead, but that's not always practical and not without its own set of issues. At this point I'm not sure what the right answer is. I don't like being paranoid, but I feel something like this abuses the public trust that government is supposed to maintain. Keep in mind we're not talking about North Korea or Iran here, we're talking about states within Germany. This is the equivalent of the same happening in Georgia, Colorado, or Washington.

|The purpose of this study was to further understand the perceptions of MAT@USC teacher candidates and how their perceptions and previous experiences affect the educational experiences of Latino English language learners. Three questions were developed to guide this study: (1) What are the perceptions of MAT@USC candidates in selected courses toward Latino English learners? ; (2) How do the experiences prior to enrollment in one of the MAT@USC selected courses affect candidates' reception to course content?; and (3) How do the candidates perceive the three selected courses in the MAT@USC program in facilitating their ability to serve the needs of Latino English learners? ❧ The respondents of this study were all MAT@USC students who reside across the United States and were enrolled in one of the targeted courses for this study: "Integrating Literacies in Secondary Content Instruction," "Framing the Social Context of High Needs Schools," and "Culture Learning in Schools: Latino," during the Fall 2011 semester. ❧ This mixed methods study illustrated what teacher candidates feel affects Latino English learners and how their coursework in the MAT@USC program prepared them to work with these students. Based on participants' responses, MAT@USC is "recasting the US curriculum to give greater emphasis on multiculturalism, equity, and social justice," in their teacher education program as recommended by Lynn & Smith-Maddox (2007, p. 95).

Content Marketing and Article Writer Pro are buzzwords of the moment but there is confusion over what that really is and why a business should do it. This article sets out some of the basics.
The Best Article Writers and Content Marketing Strategies
If you create content that your prospective customers need and want, they will find it, consume and engage with it and ultimately transact a profitable action with you. They may also share that Article Writer Pro derived content with their own friends and contacts, amplifying the effect.
So this is where you start – developing a content marketing strategy. First you need to work out what your audience wants. Finding them is easy, but working out what they're really interested in and why they visit certain sites or retail outlets is the issue.
All consumers are looking for solutions to their problems. Work out what those problems are and you can target your article marketing based on your Article Writer Pro derived strategies for maximum effect.
Once the aims of the content marketing programme are set and customer needs identified, then you need to create the content to fulfil that need. That content can take many forms – here are just a few; videos, infographics, social media content, apps, website articles, blogs, eNewsletters, photos/illustrations, animations, webinars, microsites, etc.
If you can't produce that content yourself, you will need the support of writers, bloggers, designers and web developers. You will need a network of tried and trusted partners – videographers, coders, app builders etc – who will work to your strategy and brief.
Why Keyword Competition Tools Are (Almost) Always Wrong
If you want to profit sooner rather than later on seasonal niches you need to start at least one season before the busy season. So if you want to target a summer niche in the U.S., you're probably not going to gain notable results this summer (summer is currently in full swing). But if you want to go after a fall or winter niche, now is the time to ramp things up!
Today I'd like to help you do just that! I've been in the lab for the past several months working day and night on a brand new SEO tool-set (I'll be revealing this tool very soon). Using one of the powerful tools I quickly and easily generated 248 fall/winter keywords worth an estimated total of $478,000.00 to those ranking for them! These keywords have a combined 459,000 monthly searches!
Content Marketing Trends in 2017
Jonathan has continued to stay ahead of every other content creation and article marketing/ spinning software and now with his new release he raises the bar another notch. Guess what, in the next couple of weeks Jonathan is adding another brand new software called the TextSuite. You will be able to use The TextSuite to pull in content to the app, and into the rewriting window, from within the internal resource of over 100,000 articles on a wide range of subjects.
This new All-in-one in content tool has a massive database that will give you the ability to pull in 1000's of tips in many different categories to start a seed article or post to then spin and make your own, not only that there are many more features which we don't have room to list here. There is absolutely no other Content Writing Tool on this universe that has this ability.Would you like to generate multiple spun versions at one time. OK, how about 1,000 spun versions of your article placed into a ZIP file? Unzip the file and you can have up to 1,000 spun versions from just the one seed article you entered.
One of the coolest features that is built into this content marketing software is the ability to check your spun articles for duplicates on the web. We use this feature during each spinning session to insure I am going to be publishing unique content.

A SysAdmin has an almost endless list of tasks they must complete on a regular basis. Some are so routine that they can be done while multitasking, others require careful attention to detail and a laser-like focus to ensure that things are done well and completely. While many admins may look at most of the tasks on this list as run of the mill, they frequently present a challenge to others. In this slideshow, Christina Goggi, writing for GFI Software, provides some tips on how to approach them.

Pacers committed to George | Wall's health a question | Sixers not shopping
No. 1: Bird says Paul George going nowhere — Larry Bird drafted Paul George and has helped him blossom into an All-Star and the foundation of the Pacers franchise. Now the team president says he has no intention of letting George play anywhere but Indiana with a flat declaration that the team is ready to step up and pay the forward whatever it takes. Bird told the Indianapolis Star that the ball is in George's hands:
The Indiana Pacers president wants to sign George to a max contract – and he'll do it as soon as his star player is ready.
"I know he don't want to talk about it all year and I don't either," Bird said. "We want Paul here and we know what it's going to cost and what it's going to take. If Paul wants to get a deal done, we will. It's a max deal. There's no others, so there's no use talking about it. If he wants it, he's got it."
George would not discuss his contract situation Wednesday but is expected to give an update Monday during the team's media day. Before George left for the Summer Olympics in August, he had conversations with Bird and the front office about his renegotiation options. George said then that the conversations were a good sign, but that a new deal was not close to being reached.
George, 26, is entering the prime of his career and is under contract for $18.1 million this upcoming season. He is set to earn $19.3 million next season with a player option for $20.5 million in 2018-19, according to HoopsHype.com. George can decline the player option and sign a four-year extension beginning Sunday, as Houston Rockets star James Harden did earlier this summer.
No. 2: Brooks not sure if Wall will be ready — With just days before the start of his first training camp as coach of the Wizards, coach Scott Brooks says he is not sure if All-Star point guard John Wall will be healthy enough to go. Following a pair of offseason knee surgeries, Wall has been cautiously preparing for the 2016-17 season, according to the Washington Post:
When asked if Wall would be available for the Wizards' first training camp practice, Tuesday on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Brooks expressed uncertainty, though he didn't appear too concerned at this point.
"Don't know that but he's doing some one-on-one, he's doing some three-on-three. Not really worried about that," Brooks said. "Like all of our athletes, I want them to be ready but he's definitely moving towards that direction."
Before arriving for his meeting at The Post, Brooks said he had watched Wall that morning in a workout. Wall, who had two knee operations this offseason, has progressed from playing against younger assistant coaches to facing off against teammates, going one-on-one for roughly 25 minutes. In spite of the improvement, Brooks hesitated to provide a date when Wall will be cleared for five-on-five contact.
"I don't like to put a timetable [on it] because if he doesn't meet it [then] we're saying, 'Oh, he's still hurt,' " Brooks said. "He's improving. His body looks great [but] his conditioning is going to be behind.
"Once you step into an NBA practice, the level goes way up," Brooks continued. "Especially in a training camp situation where you have guys trying to make it, guys trying to fight for minutes, trying to fight for starting jobs, but we have to make sure [about Wall] because that's when things can go sideways. I saw him this morning for an hour, he looked great, but I don't know -– we'll find out soon."
No. 3: Colangelo denies shopping big men — Despite all the talk, rumors and his own previous statements that have filled the offseason, Sixers general manager Bryan Colangelo says he has not been shopping Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor or Joel Embiid as the team faces a logjam of big men for the upcoming season. In a wide-ranging interview with The Vertical, Colangelo said he is now comfortable letting things play over 2016-17:
"Making a statement that absolutely something will be done is not necessarily the case," Colangelo said during the podcast, which was released Wednesday morning. "I think what I said over the course of the summer is there is no doubt that we got three talented players. It's a high-class problem to have." He appeared to back off the absolutely-not-comfortable statement. Colangelo pointed out that the unknowns regarding the three centers' health – in particular, Embiid (foot) – put the Sixers in a situation in which they will entertain trade discussions if they make sense.
"But I never felt compelled that we have to do something, because it will work itself out over the course of time," he said. "Some of it will work itself out with contract negotiations and free agency. There's different things that are staggered in terms of time line."
"First up, Nerlens Noel. Second up, Joel Embiid. Third would be Okafor, in terms of contract staggering. So there's some of that that's in play."
SOME RANDOM HEADLINES: Mo Williams says he's returning to the defending champion Cavaliers for one final NBA season…LeBron James and Mark Wahlberg are talking about making a movie together…Former All-Star and current Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson took a pie to the face on Wednesday…Robert Horry didn't hesitate to say that Hakeem Olajuwon was better than Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan…Metta World Peace signs another one-year deal with the Lakers…Tyronn Lue says he already misses J.R.

Any chance or option to put the little blue 'goblin legs' back in the bottom RH corner?
You know, the round blue thing you click on and it will always take you to the next stack or unit that you haven't visited that turn (leaving aside locked or dormant stacks)? Honestly, without this feature it is making the game virtually unplayable for me!
I've tried using the F1 function but that lists everything all over the place and I find it really confusing and a complete game-stopper.
A lot of the AGEOD games have got the 'goblin legs' in the bottom RH corner and I find this really makes the game so much more playable and easy to locate all of your stacks and groups of units.

2011 was my year of Right Intention, the second of the Noble Eightfold Path. Right Intention was a tough one: mostly residing within my head. i set myself to commit to abstaining from attachments, preventing ill-will, and stopping harm. i found myself indulging attachments often, and often caught feelings of ill-will even when i did not act on them. in these moments, i reminded myself the connection between Right Intention and Right View--remembering that the intention of ethical conduct can only be built upon seeing what is actually happening in the world, rather than skewing my view to my attachments or fears.
as with Right View, i feel as though i could spend a lifetime devoted only to Right Intention. however, since i have set myself to the task of covering the each of the Noble Eightfold Path, i must move on while also keeping in mind the power and necessity of Right Intention (and, with Right View, both elements of Wisdom) as i move on to Ethnical Conduct.
2012 is devoted to Right Speech. as i reiterate, the Noble Eightfold Path is not a sequence, it is one path with eight elements. however, i hope that through concentrating on one element per year, it will ease pursuing my ultimate goal of deeper mindfulness, true compassion, and working toward the liberation of all beings.
Right Speech is extremely important in the core beliefs of Buddhism. not only is it the first aspect of ethical conduct in the Noble Eightfold Path, it is one of the five precepts, along with abstention from taking life, abstention from stealing, abstention from sexual misconduct, and abstention from drunkenness or intoxication to the point of heedlessness. as with many spiritual traditions, Buddhism apparently puts much stock in the importance and power of speech.
in short, Right Speech comprises four main points: abstention from false speech or lying, abstention from divisive speech, abstention from harsh or abusive speech, and abstention from idle chatter. put positively, right speech means telling the truth, speaking toward concord, speaking pleasantly, and only speaking necessarily.
in more detail, the abhaya sutta states that according to Gotama:
In the case of words that [are] unfactual, untrue, unbeneficial (or: not connected with the goal), unendearing and disagreeable to others, do not say them.
In the case of words that [are] factual, true, unbeneficial, unendearing and disagreeable to others, do not say them.
In the case of words that [are] factual, true, beneficial, but unendearing and disagreeable to others, have a sense of the proper time for saying them.
In the case of words that [are] unfactual, untrue, unbeneficial, but endearing and agreeable to others, do not say them.
In the case of words that [are] factual, true, unbeneficial, but endearing and agreeable to others, do not say them.In the case of words that [are] factual, true, beneficial, and endearing and agreeable to others, have a sense of the proper time for saying them.
in order for things to be said, they must be both true and beneficial. if they are disagreeable, they timeliness is of utmost importance. finally, even if something is true, if it is not beneficial, it need not be said.
if we desire to admonish others, we must then also consider the following:
[1] Do I speak at the right time, or not?
[2] Do I speak of facts, or not?
[3] Do I speak gently or harshly?
[4] Do I speak profitable words or not?
[5] Do I speak with a kindly heart, or inwardly malicious?
only upon considering these five can we admonish another.
i also interpret Right Speech as encompassing the written word as well, and it incorporates what many have termed as Right Listening--especially for the "timeliness" aspect of Right Speech.
as my community, i report this to you to ask for support and mutual respect in the continued search for the path forward. and if you find solace in the Noble Eightfold Path, that we can walk it together:
1. Right View (wisdom)
2. Right Intention (wisdom)
3. Right Speech (ethical conduct)
4. Right Action (ethical conduct)
5. Right Livelihood (ethical conduct)
6. Right Effort (mental development)
7. Right Mindfulness (mental development)
8. Right Concentration (mental development)
As with last year, I close with a quote about Right Speech from here.
Right speech is the first principle of ethical conduct in the eightfold path. Ethical conduct is viewed as a guideline to moral discipline, which supports the other principles of the path. This aspect is not self-sufficient, however, essential, because mental purification can only be achieved through the cultivation of ethical conduct. The importance of speech in the context of Buddhist ethics is obvious: words can break or save lives, make enemies or friends, start war or create peace. Buddha explained right speech as follows: 1. to abstain from false speech, especially not to tell deliberate lies and not to speak deceitfully, 2. to abstain from slanderous speech and not to use words maliciously against others, 3. to abstain from harsh words that offend or hurt others, and 4. to abstain from idle chatter that lacks purpose or depth. Positively phrased, this means to tell the truth, to speak friendly, warm, and gently and to talk only when necessary.
i look forward to working on this year of Right Speech.

In its bid to establish linkage in the international scene, ISU President Dr. Aleth M. Mamauag went on a benchmark visit to Maejo University (MU) in Thailand last December 2014, together with International Affairs Director Dr. Endmund Gumpal and Vice President for RDET. They were treated to a tour of MU's successful research projects where they picked ideas that could be applied in ISU.
Under the direct supervision of the President, the Office of External and International Affairs (OEIA) has been assisting the President in establishing strong functional linkages and networks with local, national and international institutions and agencies, private and government. It also implements education and research programs, projects and activities involving other countries and international education and research institutions.
The OEIA is responsible for coordinating and harmonizing all the international dimensions of ISU programs, projects and activities.
Having been prepared to face the many challenges not only in the Philippines but with the ASEAN, the ISU management foresees the greater significance of the collective roles of ISU in the Philippines and the Maejo University.(RSG)

Hi guys,
Outcasted here.
I've stumbled upon an idea about a Modern Day version of the San Guo series. I don't really know if any of you can see it how I see it, but basically yes, I have the story all popped up in my head, major characters and all. I just need a few people who are interested to help me write it (yes, I just admitted and I'm not exactly that good with a pen and an idea... hehe.) and if possible, later on, someone to translate it to Chinese. So if anyone's interested, please... PM me or reply to this.

Italian dark horse
Simone Ferrarese set about day one of Stena Match Cup Sweden with some giant killing. The Italian is making the most of his wild card to this event, the third of the season on the Alpari World Match Racing Tour, notching up four wins and just one loss from his first day at Marstrand.
The first upset came early, with the 25-year-old Italian beating reigning World Champion Ian Williams and GAC Pindar in the very first flight. Then came victories over Keith Swinton's Black Swan Racing and Taylor Canfield's USone. Ferrarese's good run was finally broken by local crew, Johnie Berntsson's Stena Sailing Team, but the Italian immediately bounced back with a win against Adam Minoprio and Team Alpari FX.
Minoprio was impressed with the Ferrarese performance. "He's very eager and determined to prove he should have got a Tour card this year. He's come out swinging, and he's sailing smoothly. Coming in on a wild card, it's definitely a different mentality. Match racing is a lot of psyche. He comes in with a clean slate, hasn't done the last two Tour events. A Tour card holder may be thinking about the pressure of winning the overall Tour." Normally a professional match racer will say it's all about taking one race at a time. "Yes, easy to say," smiled Minoprio, who won two and lost two today. So what's the approach for tomorrow? "Take it race by race!"
Ferrarese's strong showing was impressive, although it's Williams that tops the leaderboard with five wins from six matches. The only skipper to have kept a clean sheet thus far is Phil Robertson and WAKA Racing, but the young Kiwis have only raced four matches so lie 2nd in the standings.
Berntsson sits in 4th overall, just behind the Italians whom they beat today, along with Pierre Antoine Morvan and the Vannes Agglo Sailing Team. The local sailor lost to Williams and fellow Swede, Bjorn Hansen and eWork Sailing Team. Berntsson will be looking to exert his local advantage more than he did today. "It is quite shifty and puffy conditions for all the teams, but there are patterns to be found too," said Berntsson.
This is Taylor Canfield's first visit to Marstrand and his first experience of the 37-footers used for the racing. He won two and lost one today. "We're getting used to the venue and DS37s, with their heavier weight and overlapping genoas," said the young American. "I hear there's a bit more breeze in the forecast tomorrow, and we're looking forward to powering up the boats a little more."
Tonight is the opening ceremony and welcome dinner, with Qualifying continuing tomorrow.

Holiday cheer turned to terrified screams as violence erupted in Jamaica on Friday, December 2.
Damel Burton, 34, allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend's son, 18-year-old Keith Murrell, in an apartment the three shared on the second floor of the Baisley Park Houses. Burton then boarded the Q111 bus at the Parsons-Archer terminal, where be shot and killed passenger Marvin Gilkes, 36, and injured a second passenger, Jajuan Lipsey, 29.
Gilkes was pronounced dead at the scene while Lipsey's injuries are not life-threatening.
After he was shot, Murrell reportedly leaped from his window to a grassy area below and was helped across the street where he collapsed. The 18-year-old was later pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital.
Friends and family described Murrell as a basketball-loving role model who wanted to be a mechanic. All of that was erased when the tragic teen was shot in the chest by ex-con Burton.
"I can't seem to grasp this sad situation, it's just so sad and senseless to me," said Murrell's cousin, Sandy Thickness, in a Facebook post. "I love my family and we all miss our cousin Keith. My family just took a great loss."
Burton reportedly used the Q111 to get away from the scene, but became agitated when he thought passengers on the bus were talking about him.
District Attorney Richard A. Brown said that Burton has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of second-degree attempted murder following the shooting rampage.
"The defendant is accused of the cold-blooded shooting death of one young man, followed by the alleged shooting of two more people on a city bus – leaving one of them dead and the other seriously injured," the district attorney said. "These shootings are particularly disturbing for having exploded during an otherwise routine afternoon bus ride filled with shoppers, students and ordinary people returning from work. Violence such as this will not be tolerated, especially aboard public transportation."
Burton, who faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted, was quickly captured by police officers a block away from the bus shooting, still carrying the alleged murder weapon.
Released on parole in August of 2010 after serving seven years for attempted robbery, Burton has six prior arrests and served a year in prison in 2000 for drug dealing and weapon possession.

NZ Space to steal a family's heart
Property Here - Saturday, March 16, 2013
Living next door to this classic villa in Rose Rd, Brendan and Rachel Danaher had often looked over the fence and imagined what they could do with the home and large section.
Their opportunity to fulfil those visions came in 2010 when they purchased the kauri villa.
"I don't think anything had been done to the villa in 60 or 70 years," explains Rachel. "And the section is wide and big, which is rare in this area. And we love Rose Rd, it's a nice, wide road."
Rachel had lived in Grey Lynn when she was a student and, after returning to Auckland in 2005 from living in Britain, she and Brendan looked at different suburbs but always came back to Grey Lynn. "We love its proximity to the city, its parks, it's child-friendly - there are lots of young families and good schools."
Their vision was to enlarge the villa and to improve the section for life with daughters Kate, now 5, and Sophie, 2. "We saw the possibility of adding the garage and pool and having a big family home," explains Rachel.
Greg Jones, of Jones Architects, was enlisted with the brief for a four-bedroom home with two living areas, a flat section and a pool if they could fit it in.
Outside, they embarked on earthworks and retaining walls to allow a garage to sit alongside the home. This double-garage now has drive-through access so an extra vehicle or boat can also be parked on site.
At the back of the section, they again changed the gentle slope to a level area with the square of lawn surrounded by lilly pilly and Lonicera hedging, and the 6.4m by 3.6m pool to one side.
And, most dramatically, a complete makeover was started for the villa, inside and out.
"We were left with three walls - the front wall and part of the two side walls. It was important to keep the character of the house, we wanted it to look like a villa," Rachel says.
The layout now has the traditional part of the villa as you come in from the front porch. The exterior is painted in Resene White Pointer and Black White, while inside one-eighth Bison Hide has been used with quarter Sandspit for the architraves.
Three bedrooms, a family room plus bathroom come off the hallway, with steps down to the new open-plan living area including dining, lounge and kitchen.
Rachel points out the double Smeg ovens, one 900mm, the other 600, and gas hobs: "That's Brendan's baby, he loves cooking and he's good at it." The well-designed kitchen has a scullery/laundry off to the side and is Brendan's culinary preparation hub when the family entertains.
"This living area is lovely and spacious," says Rachel. "It's a warm home in winter because of the insulation and double-glazing, and it stays cool in summer because we can open the sliding doors out to the back. And we also have central gas heating."
Back in the hallway, stairs lead up to another new area, the second storey. This spacious zone houses the master suite with the large bedroom overlooking the pool, a walk-in wardrobe plus a luxurious bathroom with a standalone oval bath and shower.
There is also a study area which could be used as a nursery or gym.
Rachel and Brendan are selling, reluctantly, because they want to free up equity for other projects.
"It's been a tough call to make as it's a very easy house to live in," Rachel says. "We will definitely stay in the area."

There's a question in Spivak's Calculus (
I don't happen to have the question number in front of me in the 2nd Edition, it's Chapter 21, Problem 7) that develops the concept of continued fraction, specifically the continued fraction representation of $\sqrt{2}$. Having only recently become aware of continued fractions, I'm trying to work my way through this problem, but I'm stuck at the very last stage.
Here's what I've got so far: Let $\{a_n\}$ be the sequence defined recursively as $$a_1 = 1, a_{n + 1} = 1 + \frac{1}{1 + a_n}$$ Consider the two subsequences $\{a_{2n}\}$ and $\{a_{2n - 1}\}$. I've already shown that $\{a_{2n}\}$ is monotonic, strictly decreasing, and bounded below by $\sqrt{2}$, and similarly I've shown that $\{a_{2n - 1}\}$ is monotonic, strictly increasing, and bounded above by $\sqrt{2}$. Obviously, both of these subsequences converge.
Although of course in general, if two subsequences of a sequence happen to converge to the same value, that doesn't guarantee that the sequence itself converges at all (much less to that same value), in the case where the subsequences are $\{a_{2n}\}$ and $\{a_{2n - 1}\}$, it's easy to show that if they both converge to the same value, then so will $\{a_n\}$ (since every term of $\{a_n\}$ is a term of one of the two subsequences). So no problem there.
In other words, it remains only to show that not only do the subsequences converge, but they converge to $\sqrt{2}$ in particular. Take, for starters, $\{a_{2n - 1}\}$ (if I can get $\{a_{2n - 1}\}$ to converge to $\sqrt{2}$, I'm sure getting $\{a_{2n}\}$ to converge to $\sqrt{2}$ won't be very different). Because it's strictly increasing and bounded above by $\sqrt{2}$, it converges to some number $x \leq \sqrt{2}$. Suppose that $x < \sqrt{2}$. We want to show this doesn't happen.
But this is where I'm getting stuck. I feel like I want to take $\epsilon = \sqrt{2} - x$ and show that there exists some $N$ such that $a_{2N - 1} > x$, which would finish the problem due to the monotonicity of $\{a_{2n - 1}\}$. But this isn't working.
Any hints? Thanks a ton.

Learn about how Cherry Point MCAS helped save the world
HAVELOCK � It was 50 years ago this month that United States and Russia stood on the brink of war during the Cuban Missile Crisis � and Cherry Point personnel and aircraft were on the front lines.
H. Wayne Whitten, a retired Marine colonel once based at Cherry Point, has chronicled the base�s involvement as well as other aspects of the crisis in a new book, �Countdown to 13 Days and Beyond.�
Whitten details how a U-2 spy plane captured images of missile sites in Cuba, a mere 90 miles below the Florida Keys, on Oct. 14, 1962. Missiles launched from those sites had the potential to carry nuclear warheads, putting the heart of the United States in range of an attack.
In response, President John F. Kennedy authorized a mobilization of U.S. forces, including those at Cherry Point.
�It seemed like everyone and everything military was headed to Florida in a matter of days,� Whitten writes in his book.
Some in the military wanted an immediate, decisive air strike on the missile sites before they became operational followed by a full-scale invasion of the island nation led by revolutionary dictator Fidel Castro, according to Whitten. But Kennedy wanted to talk to Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev, and he needed more proof of the sites.
To that end, Navy and Marine photo reconnaissance planes were used to photograph the suspected missile sites.
The Cherry Point-based VMCJ-2 squadron was called to send four RF-8A Crusader jets to join VFP-62, based in Jacksonville, Fla., for Operation Blue Moon.
�The entire squadron was committed,� said Whitten, who estimated that about 150 personnel joined pilots to keep the planes operating.
The Navy and Marine Corps units joined together at Key West, Fla., to outfit their planes with panoramic cameras equipped with motion compensation technology necessary for high-speed, low-level photo reconnaissance missions over Cuba.
The first Blue Moon photo missions started on Oct. 23, the day after Kennedy�s television address to the nation informing Americans of the crisis. Crusaders flew over the suspected island missile sites and then on to Jacksonville, Fla., where the film was processed and rushed to Washington for analysis.
Whitten writes that the photos delivered bad news in that they showed launching erectors in place and missiles stored nearby, details captured by the aircraft�s new KA-45 forward firing camera.
�It was the KA-45s that really made the day because they gave really clear shots from a low level,� Whitten said. �Everybody could see with the naked eye. You didn�t have to have an interpreter to see those big missiles.�
On the photo flights, the pilots took off in radio silence and approached their targets 50 feet above the treetops at 500 mph. As they came upon their targets, the planes would pop up to about 1,000 feet, let the cameras fire as many frames as possible, then return to tree top level until they came upon their next photo target, according to Whitten. Fighter escorts waiting off Cuba�s coast for the mission to end.
Meanwhile, VMCJ-2�s EF-10Bs joined Navy AD-5Q Skyraiders in jamming Soviet radar sites that used surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery that could have been used to fire at the U.S. planes.
�The scary part was they not only decided to put the nuclear missiles in there, but even before they got that under way, they committed to putting 24 SAM sites in there that were manned by Russians,� Whitten said. �That was a big indicator that something big-time was up.�
By Oct. 24, attention shifted to Soviet ships headed for Cuba with more missiles, and on Oct. 25, the United States presented its evidence � much of it photographs of missile sites gathered by Cherry Point-based aircraft � to the world at the United Nations.
Worried that an invasion was imminent, Castro ordered one of the SAM sites to shoot down an American U-2, which resulted in the death of an Air Force pilot.
The crisis ultimately came to a head when Kennedy ordered American Navy ships to blockade Cuba from the inbound Russian ships, which in the end, turned around. The United States promised not to invade Cuba, and Russia agreed to withdraw its missiles, bringing the crisis to a close on Oct. 28.
Whitten writes in his book that VFP-62 and VMCJ-2 flew 77 Blue Moon missions over Cuba from Oct. 23 to Nov. 15, 1962, providing more than 160,000 photo negatives. The 12 Navy and four Marine pilots all received Distinguished Flying Crosses, and both squadrons received Navy Unit Commendations, the first ever awarded in peacetime.
�The Wing was very critical to the success of that planned invasion,� Whitten said. �They were all down there fully expecting to start strike operations against the nuclear missiles, and the surface-to-air missiles and everything else in preparation for an actual landing.�
He said many aircraft left Cherry Point in response to the crisis.
�It was like a ghost town around here,� he said. �Every asset in the wing was committed, if not in Key West but somewhere. Their anticipated role was to be part of the strike force covering the Marines and Army landings that everybody was sure to come. That was certainly the expectations.
�Everybody and everything at Cherry Point went south to participate. It was one of the few times in history I would suspect, outside of a real hurricane, that every aircraft that was flyable and operable went somewhere.�
Havelock residents certainly noticed the participation of Marine Air Group 14 in the Cuban Missile Crisis.
�I remember how tight the security was,� said Jimmy Sanders, currently Havelock�s mayor but a high school student in 1962. �Civilians were not allowed on base. If you didn�t have a military ID or a dependent ID card or an employee card, you weren�t allowed on base.�
He said virtually every type of cargo plane was flying in and out of Cherry Point at the time.
�I know personally I thought we were going to war with the Russians,� Sanders said. �I was mighty relieved when Russia turned around. I was a high school kid that really didn�t care a whole lot about what was going on in the world, but this brought everything back very quickly that what went on at Cherry Point was serious business and it impacted the security of the nation and ultimately the world.�
To purchase a copy of the book, which costs $14.95, call the Havelock Chamber of Commerce at 447-1101, Danny Walsh at 447-5630, or email email@example.com.

Claim: Let $X$ be a metric space. If $A,B\in X$ are disjoint, if A is compact, and if B is closed, then $\exists \delta>0: |\alpha-\beta|\geq\delta\;\;\;\forall\alpha\in A,\beta\in B$.
Proof. Assume the contrary. Let $\alpha_n\in A,\beta_n\in B$ be chosen such that $|\alpha_n-\beta_n|\rightarrow0$ as $n\rightarrow \infty$.
Since A is compact, there exists a convergent subsequence of $\alpha_n\;(n\in\mathbb{N})$, $\alpha_{n_m}\;(m\in\mathbb{N})$, which converges to $\alpha\in A$.
We have
$$|\alpha-\beta_{n_m}|\leq|\alpha-\alpha_{n_m}|+|\alpha_{n_m}-\beta_{n_m}|\rightarrow0 \;\;\;as\;\;m\rightarrow\infty.$$ Hence $\alpha$ is a limit point of B and since B is closed $\alpha\in B$, contradiction.
Is my proof correct? I feel as though I am missing something simple which would trivialize the proof.
