MOVING DAYS. . . Packing up a studio full of "stuff" (17 years worth of stuff) and movin' onwards and up. Editing. Evaluating. Sorting. Sifting. What do I need? What will I keep? What will I donate and share? Toss behind, let go, and move on to make room in my life for new adventures and creations of art. As they say, "you have to take your foot off 1st base to get to 2nd, and so forth." Clear the tables, "Leap and the net will appear"(another saying scribbled in my journal). This has been my summer; more light, longer days and knowing that "somewhere over the rainbow" I know that by getting rid of these things, I will have more room in my life for more _______ (fill in the blank).
We are always moving somewhere, this is life's journey.

INFORMED (INternet curriculum FOR Melanoma Early Detection) is transforming melanoma education by engaging the learner. In addition, the INFORMED program provides training in dermoscopy (epiluminescence microscopy), which has been proven to increase diagnostic accuracy during the skin examination.
"An increasing body of evidence indicates that effective early detection is our best hope for cutting melanoma deaths by at least half in the near future.
Conventional education programs have had the effect of stabilizing mortality rates despite steadily increasing incidence trends, but we need to change our methods to get a substantial reduction in deaths. Today, knowledge and skills for melanoma screening remains low in primary care, performance of thorough skin self-examination remains low, and education of clinicians remains focused on teaching variations of the ABCDs of melanoma in conventional formats."
Dr. Martin Weinstock
INFORMED was created by a diverse team, from multiple institutions, with expertise in melanoma early detection, medical education for cancer prevention, clinician interventions including large health systems, screening, and Web-based instruction.
With a grant from the Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA) the INFORMED (INternet Curriculum FOR Melanoma Early Detection) group set to create an educational course targeted toward primary care physicians.
The immediate goal of the curriculum is to improve the detection of skin cancers by increasing physician clinical knowledge and diagnostic skills. Through this curriculum the ultimate goal is to reduce the skin cancer mortality rate.

as i went through my most recent fave saves, i'm disappointed. (NOT because the ones i found saved there aren't great--they are!) but i KNOW i read some super posts that i thought i saved, but sadly didn't. so i would have had even more for you. however, i do have some awesomely informative, witty posts to share if you missed them. enjoy!
jennifer laughran shares a genre glossary
katie ganshert posts about figuring out the heart of your character
i've been to querytracker, but here is another social networking site for publishing: agentquery connect
have you seen this new blog? the one that offers a bit of "romance" to lucky agents and writers? check it out! cupid's literary connection
i don't actually remember saving this one, but check it out in case it's worthwhile.... writing contests
brenda drake, shelley watters and cassandra marshall are hosting a march madness agent pitch match march 12-14
jody hedlulnd reminds us that perfection is not required in order to be published. there are other imporant things to remember. (it's called: the story)
if you, like me, are NOT a fan of zombies and don't understand the hype, then read this. even if you DO like zombies (first tell me WHY), you'll get a kick out of this post! (both links lead to the same exact place)
always throw out the first pancake. this may also apply to first novels....read about it here.
3 minute writer's workout warmup
some very necessary advice for writers who are waiting for a chance. waiting... while you wait, read this
i wish i had more. one of the things i remember about the posts i didn't save is this:
have fun writing the draft you are working on. it's the best recipe for eliminating writer's block. the best recipe for creating a twisty, conflicted plot. have fun and be mean to your character. as mean as you can.
oh, and in case you are wondering how our collab effort is going for erica and christy's novel TTM...it's slow. it was all erica's fault, (smile!) but she finally sent me another chapter (you know, she had her life to live) and now she's waiting and waiting for me because i went back to work and got sick. I KNOW. i had 9 weeks when i could have gotten sick. but--back to work and BAM-- sick. i ran out of sick days weeks ago, so i guess the kids get me all headachy and sneezy and sore throaty....teachers can go sick, but please, keep you sick kids at home. :0) (it's all about double standards)
and erica DID send me this,( along with her chapter--which is kicktush, btw):
what they said--some helpful and funny stuff

Great links! I can enjoy a zombie movie now and then, but it isn't something I seek out and I haven't read anything. I think that 'they are your friends and family' is definitely the most intriguing angle. I've had so many people recomment 'Walking Dead' and... it's fine... but I really prefer something I could envision really happening for those Apocalypse stories.ReplyDelete
I love that I'm an author graphic! So funny--especially the one on what society thinks :). I think my husband still thinks I'm going to be rolling in the dough too.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the linkage, and best of luck on your collaborative effort! I'm sure you'll do great.ReplyDelete

Hi Everyone,
Original Art Studio was originally started as a site where I could showcase some of my artistic endeavours (photography, photo art, digital art, collages, paintings, etc.). As I shared my attempts at creative expression I began to marry them with inspiring quotations from great thinkers in the fields of psychology, philosophy, and Eastern belief systems. With time I added a few more personal posts and then posts with psychological themes based on my work as a psychotherapist. Incredible people were encountered along the way, friends were made and great exchanges were had.
As I became interested in digital photo art I started making digital textures that folks could use in the creation of their digital art and set up a blog called Pixel Dust Photo Art, which somewhat pulled my attention away from this site.
At one point on this site, I disclosed in a couple of posts that I was raised in the fundamentalist sect (cult) known as Jehovah's Witnesses. I have since discovered a very active community of ex-Jehovah's Witnesses on Facebook and on YouTube. While visiting these sites it became evident to me that there were a lot of very wounded people who were struggling to cope with life after daring to leave that high-control cult. (I call it a cult because it clearly fits the criteria of a cult in that it engages in thought, behaviour, association controls as well as high levels of control on access to information and higher education.)
It became clear that with my background in the JW cult and my education, training and experience as a psychotherapist I could help some of these people struggling to exit the cult, or struggling to adapt to life once out. So I have spent the last six months writing a book and it is now up on Amazon. The book is entitled, EXiting the JW Cult: A Healing Handbook. If you or anyone you know is involved with this doomsday sect, this book could be a real help to them.
You can check out this book on Amazon.com by clicking here or below:
Although I am still painting and making digital art I have diverted a bit to write a book and have decided to share it here with you. I did design the cover (front and back) myself, so there is a little relationship to my "Original Art Studio" there! :)
While I am aware that very few of you have any involvement with the Jehovah's Witnesses, I hope you will indulge my desire to share my latest attempt at creative expression of a different kind. Again, if you know of anyone currently or formerly in this repressive 'religion', please direct them to this book. Thanks so much!

This little conversation with my friend brought my attention to one interesting fact: With the exception of trips here and there to study with various teachers, it has been more than three years since I have practiced at home, without the benefit of frequent practice at a shala, and the benefits of continued regular attention from a teacher that this brings. How have I been able to keep up this demanding practice throughout all the inevitable physical, mental, and emotional ups and downs that accompany the journey of practice? Two things stand out to me right off the top of my head:
(1) Keeping to the vinyasa count to the best of my ability: One benefit of practicing regularly (once a week, in my case) to Sharath's led primary CD is that, over time, you start to get the vinyasa count down. For instance, in the seated postures of primary, you jump through into the pose on the first side on "Sapta", and after doing both sides, you end up on "Vimsatihi" with many postures. In the last few weeks, I have actually been counting the vinyasa count in my head as I move through the postures. I have found that doing this helps to keep me focused and prevent too many extraneous thought (i.e. monkey mind) from intruding. There is something about counting that prevents one from faffing and/or obsessing too much over postures. This is true even if I do end up giving myself one or two more breaths to get into Marichyasana D and Garbha Pindasana. Esepecially the former: I have yet to personally see anybody who can get into Mari D and bind in Sapta without taking one or two extra breaths. But I guess this is not the point: I think the idea behind keeping to the vinyasa count is that it reminds you that the practice is really a flow, and that you just have to keep on moving and breathing.
(2) Keeping in mind my teachers: Most of the time, I do this without even consciously trying to do so. For instance, in the first couple of downward dogs in Surya A, I sometimes find myself imagining one of my teachers (say, Kino) adjusting me. I often also find myself imagining one of my teachers squishing me in Paschimottanasana. I can't help thinking that it is little things like that that show that the practice is ultimately a communal experience; one feels the power of the Ashtanga community even if one is practicing by oneself most of the time. I also suppose that people who have met Guruji and formed a personal connection with him might imagine Guruji adjusting them or talking to them in his heavily South-Indian-accented English ("Why fearing, you?") during the course of their daily practices. But since I have never met Guruji, I can't know this for sure. By the way, this is also one of the reasons why I did not post anything on this blog yesterday (Guru Purnima): Although I certainly owe much to Guruji for being able to do this practice, I can't honestly say that I have a personal connection to him, and writing an homage to somebody I have never met just seems a little disingenuous.
Anyway... I don't really have much else to say here. I just thought I'd record a few practice thoughts here (For what? For posterity? Are a bunch of aliens going to dig this up and read it a few thousand years from now, when I am gone? :-)) before I eat some dinner and watch my nightly dose of Battlestar Galactica (I'm starting season 4 tonight... yay!).
Oh, and just in case this interests you, I made a couple of observations while playing chess with a friend earlier today: Isn't it interesting that the most powerful piece in chess is a woman (i.e. the queen)? Isn't it even more interesting that if you find the enemy queen very close to your king, somebody very bad is probably going to happen to you (i.e. an impending checkmate)? Moral of the story: Having a woman close to you is trouble... unless she is on your side!

It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning on 22 Jan which marked the last day of the Rabbit Year on the lunar calender, I decided to drop by Lornie Trail (LT). At my favourite spot, the invasive weed Mile-a-Minute (Mikania micrantha) didn't flower in time to welcome and usher in the Dragon Year.
While waiting for critters to appear and perch, I stood still and gazed at the ferns. I began to notice they were quite artistic and unique - a moment of silence with contemplation enables me to discover a new form of natural beauty.
The morning dews look exceptionally pleasing to the eyes - but I didn't do justice to these amazing and short-lived natural formations as my shots failed to reveal the details and their natural beauty.
In great disappointment, I walked towards a grass patch along the reservoir edge. A pair of small orange skippers engaging themselves in an intimate position caught my attention. After taking a few shots, I realised that they didn't look like the Lesser Dart (Potanthus omaha).I was afraid that the trekkers and the joggers may scare them away, I quickly captured a few more shots - this upperside shot would be useful for us to identify the species.
They look like Potanthus ganda according to Dr Seow from ButterflyCircle.
There were many St. Andrew's Cross spiders (Argiope sp) waiting patiently on their webs to prey on any insects.This one with a silvery pattern looks nice and different from the rest.
I am not a fan of spiders. After a few selective shots, I walked back to the Mile-a-Minute spot, hoping for a better luck. As the sunshine was getting warmer, the Bush Browns (Mycalesis species) which were in good numbers, started flitting around rather skittishly.
This is a Mycalesis perseoides perseoides as the brown straie on the forewing were distinctive enough for a positive identification.
This is another Mycalesis perseoides perseoides .
This is yet another Mycalesis perseoides perseoides perching on a kind of wild red ginger flower.
This is yet another Mycalesis perseoides perseoides perching on a kind of wild red ginger flower.
Before I made my way out to the main road, a Malay Viscount (Tanaecia pelea pelea) appeared and bid farewell to me.

Here's the full text of the press release announcing the release date:
Harebrained Schemes Redefines Tabletop Gaming with Kickstarter Success Golem Arcana — Coming to retail and app stores August 13th
Kirkland, WA (July 14, 2014) — Harebrained Schemes today announced that its innovative Kickstarter-funded game, Golem Arcana, will be available at retail stores nationwide on August 13, 2014. Golem Arcana is a digitally-enhanced miniatures boardgame that combines the power of a smartphone or tablet with strategic tabletop gameplay to deliver an engaging and unprecedented experience.
Golem Arcana merges the social fun and tactical depth of a rich tabletop experience with the ever-evolving dynamics of digital gaming. Players use a Bluetooth-powered stylus and a free mobile app on an Android or iOS tablet or smartphone to interact with the figures, game board and cards. Players assemble their armies of pre-painted miniatures and digital characters and launch attacks using the stylus and the app. Just tap a game piece or the mobile device with the stylus to instantly get information and choose the best course of action.
"Golem Arcana is allowing us to share our love for tabletop miniatures games with a much broader audience," said Jordan Weisman, founder of Harebrained Schemes and executive producer of Golem Arcana. "We embraced all of the advancements in digital gaming technology and married them with the visual and social experience of tabletop gaming. That makes Golem Arcana accessible to all types of players — whether you've been in tabletop tournaments for years or have never played this type of game before in your life. Players can focus on making good strategic decisions and having fun and let the app do the rest."
An important component to the game, the intuitive mobile app doesn't just make every game quick and exciting, it also instructs players, performs record-keeping, maintains gameplay history and details, and alerts players to in-store tournaments and Organized Play events in their area. The automatic record-keeping system allows players to accurately track their victories and be digitally rewarded for participating and winning, as every game registered in the system affects the development of future expansions and scenarios
"There is an unlimited number of ways to play Golem Arcana," added Weisman. "The living-world environment extends the life of the game with new storylines, miniatures and digital characters, and players can try different army combinations each time they play."

Iowa Flood Center
Living with Floods
For Iowans, information is the key to being ready for the next flood.
The Iowa Flood Center (IFC) at the University of Iowa is working to provide Iowans with accurate, scientific information to help individuals and communities better understand their flood risk.
Monitoring and Predicting Floods
In the last several years, floodwaters have inundated the campuses of both Iowa State University and the University of Iowa, as well many other areas of the United States.
Research that began even as the waters were rising at the University of Iowa was the genesis of the Iowa Flood Center (IFC), the nation's first academic center devoted solely to the study of floods. The IFC was founded in 2009 and resides in the C. Maxwell Stanley Hydraulics Lab, home of IIHR—Hydroscience & Engineering. First- and second-year state appropriations of $1.3 million annually support the center's overarching goal of improved flood monitoring and prediction capabilities in Iowa.
Through collaborations with communities, individuals, government agencies, and decision-makers, the IFC is bringing engineering and scientific expertise to flood-related issues.
About 20 graduate and undergraduate students at the UI and ISU are currently involved in IFC work. These students get hands-on training and expertise that spans a variety of academic disciplines, preparing them for the complex problems of the future.
IFC Director Witold Krajewski, an IIHR research engineer and professor of civil and environmental engineering, says the center is a vital resource for Iowans as they prepare for future floods.

How To Make Curved Concrete Countertop Forms
Creating these legal forms is a common practice in business and is widely accepted. Most business forms that are self created are accepted in court and can be legally upheld as long as both parties have signed the forms. If creating forms seems to be to daunting, than purchasing them can the preferred option.
There are online options for purchasing business forms. Usually the fee is much lower than purchasing them from a store. Simply typing in the kind of form that is required will result in multiple websites that offer the forms for sale.
Once the planning stage is complete and feedback has been considered creating the finished product should not be as difficult. Using a word processing program is the best way to create a business form. Setting the format up using the tool bar will insure that everything will be lined up correctly. There is software that is dedicated to creating business forms that also may be an option. The most important aspect in creating business forms is not in the software that is being used but instead with the content of the forms.
Planning is an important aspect of creating business forms. It is important to plan what exactly the forms will be used for. There is certain criteria that should be considered. How important is the form? What specifics need to be addressed in the form? A business legal form is usually legally binding so being sure that the form fits all the local rules and requirements is also very important. Coming up with several prototypes is typical when planning a business form. Generating the forms than reviewing the finished product is also a common practice. Ideas during the planning stage can come from different sources. There are a lot of online websites that will provide a sample of various forms, it violates copyright laws to use the form verbatim in most cases, but looking at the form and using the same format is not a violation, and there may be some good ideas that will inspire the creation of the form.
There are many stationary stores and office supply stores that carry generic business forms that can be customized to fit any business. There are also ways to customize the forms to even have them reflect the businesses letterhead.

Take a quick mental inventory: How many zombies have you killed in the past couple years?
I lost count somewhere approaching "a crap load." And yet developers continue to pump out games pitting players against legions of the undead. With all the fast zombies, slow zombies, and zombies-that-aren't-really-zombies-except-that-they-are coming at us all the time, it's hard to see the value in yet another first-person shooter that tasks you with surviving waves of things that used to be people.
This was going through my head when I wandered into independent developer Monochrome's booth at the Penny Arcade Expo gaming convention (PAX) in Seattle last weekend. Monochrome was showing off an early alpha build of its debut title Contagion, which is a "spiritual successor" to the popular Half-Life 2 mod Zombie Panic! Source. When I talked to Contagion's lead programmer Declan Doyle after the demo, I asked him why people are still making zombie games.
"No one's done it right," he said. "I don't want the arcadey blood and guts. I'm more interested in fear and survival. I want to work with people as close as we can get it to real life — like what it would be in the apocalypse. You want to be conserving your ammo and working with fellow teammates to try to rescue people. It's what the game's more focused on than how many heads and arms and shit you can shoot off."
The demo featured a game mode (one of many to come, according to Monochrome) called "Extraction," in which players start out in a suburban battlefield straight out of the opening scenes of director Zack Snyder's film Dawn of the Dead. Your goal is to find survivors holed up in houses, defend against a subsequent zombie attack, and then escort the refugees to an extraction point.
The twist comes when you die — and you probably will, but more on that in a bit. If the undead horde overpowers you, you respawn as one of them, and then your job is to track down your former teammates and put the chomp on them. You accomplish this with "Zombie Vision," a red-hued display mode that shows you a glowing blood trail leading right to your prey.
With what Doyle says about making Contagion as realistic as possible, it's not surprising how hardcore the game is. First, characters do not automatically reload their weapons when they're out of ammo; you have to press a button to make them do it. At several points during the demo, I forgot about this and found myself facing off against platoons of undead only to have nothing happen when I clicked the left mouse button.
The good news is that you can reload while you're running. The bad news, however, is that you run faster forward than backward. So if you get into a situation like the one I described above, your best choice is to turn around and sprint away while you replenish your ammo (and yes, your sprint is limited). This will keep you safe long enough to reload, but it also means that you'll have no idea how close your attackers are until you turn back around. It might sound kind of frustrating, but in practice, it adds a lot of valuable tension and realism to what would be the most casual of encounters in most other games.
Also adding to the suspense is that Contagion has no aiming reticule at all. It is possible to aim down your weapon's sights to fire more accurately (I learned this later; I never realized I could do it while I was playing), but other than that, you're on your own. And of course, a headshot is always your best bet. Monochrome toned down the difficulty of the demo for PAX, but according to Doyle, "Normally, if you're not getting headshots, you're just wasting your ammo." I managed to pull off some shots that I didn't expect to make and missed some that I was sure were dead-on, but both outcomes were equally exciting.
Contagion will also employ randomization of levels and items to add replay value. This might make you think of what Left 4 Dead developer Valve did with its "A.I. Director," which decided enemy and supply placements based on how well players were doing, but Doyle doesn't think the idea has gone far enough.
"[Valve] went for it, but it didn't do anything," he said. "They had a random weapon system, but it wasn't random. You know where the weapons will be: They'll either be here or here. It's like the ammo locations were a table with shit on it. [Contagion is] completely random. It's just the luck of the draw every time you're playing."
While the PAX demo included a complete heads-up display showing your character's health and inventory, the final game won't have one. "It only shows up when it's used," said Doyle. "When you change your weapon, it shows up. When you're damaged, your health shows up. So that's a nice, immersive feature."
If all of this is sounding like a sign that says, "N00bs need not apply," Doyle said that Contagion will feature different levels of difficulty, including entire servers set aside for players who don't want too much of a challenge. But, "It's not difficult if you work together," he added.
Contagion has a tentative release date of March 2013. It will be available for PC, but Monochrome is also considering Mac, Linux, and console versions.

In this article I will discuss CVE-2014-0050: Apache Commons FileUpload and Apache Tomcat Denial-of-Service in detail. The article reviews the vulnerability's technical aspects in depth and includes recommendations that can help administrators defend from future exploitation of this security issue.
How do we know about this vulnerability?
About five days ago, Mark Thomas, a Project Management Committee Member and Committer in the Apache Tomcat project, sent an email about the accidentally leaked vulnerability (CVE-2014-0050) which allows attackers to take down your Tomcat-deployed web sites and web services. "This issue was reported responsibly to the Apache Software Foundation via JPCERT but an error in addressing an e-mail led to the unintended early disclosure of this issue," Thomas said in his email.
An hour prior to sending the email, Thomas populated the Apache Commons FileUpload project SVN with code fixes. The most significant difference I detected was in the "MultipartStream" class code of the package:
The fixed code has an extra "if" condition (line number 330) that validates the length of the multipart boundary to be shorter than 4091 characters, raising an exception if that's not the case. The calculation is as follows:
boundary.length > bufSize – 1 – BOUNDARY_PREFIX.length = 4096 – 1 – 4 = 4091
Note: parts of the code were copied into the org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload package in Apache Tomcat, causing it to be affected.
What is Multipart?
Multipart is often used in HTTP for the purpose of uploading files (more details can be found in RFC 2046). When your application needs to send a file to the server that has binary data, or data that might interfere with the structure of the HTTP message, it is possible to use a multipart content-type and setup a magic line to separate between values. This magic line is the boundary value and should be random enough that it doesn't appear in the actual content sent.
Note the complexity of the boundary value in the following example of a file upload request generated by Google Chrome. Such complexity reduces the chances of the boundary appearing in the binary blob of the file being uploaded, so the different parts of the message can be easily detected even by the human eye:
Creating the exploit
So let's get Apache Tomcat installed and try to send more than 4091 characters in the boundary field to the Apache Tomcat Manager application. Such a request might look like this:
I submitted the above request four times (one for each CPU) and this was the result:
The Tomcat process reached 100 percent CPU usage, and remained at levels higher than 95 percent CPU until I stopped the service.
Why is this happening?
When you are writing loops, check your boundaries. When you are writing endless loops, check your boundaries even more carefully.
While parsing the multipart message, the following "for" loop is used by the MultipartStream class:
The innocent-looking "for" loop above is an endless loop. It is "family related" to the famous "while(true)" loop. The developer's intention was to exit this loop either by raising an exception (line 1003) or by returning a value (line 1014), unfortunately when the boundary is longer than 4091 characters (as explained earlier) and the body is longer than 4096 characters (so it can potentially contain the boundary), neither would ever occur.
The Irony
I have to say a few words about the Irony. We can safely say that this bug is all about a field read from the request which the programmer failed to validate its permitted boundaries. However, the field's name is Boundary.
How to tell if you are vulnerable?
1) You are using Apache Tomcat 7.0-7.0.50 or 8.0-8.0.1 and your code utilizes Servlet 3.0 specifications (for example, "request.getPart" or "request.getParts" methods)
2) You are using Apache Commons FileUpload < 1.3.1
To be honest, these libraries are so commonly used that you might not even know that your site is vulnerable.
I wrote a small Ruby proof-of-concept exploit to help administrators try and recreate the Denial-of-Service state on QA and staging environments. This can help administrators and developers understand if a certain URL is vulnerable to the attack (but needs to be tested on all URLs).
The tool can also assist white-hat security professionals that are required to confirm the vulnerability throughout an engagement.
Defend yourself
Trustwave Spiderlabs research team recommends taking the following actions:
A) Once available, update your software to one of the following versions:
- Apache Commons FileUpload 1.3.1
- Apache Tomcat 7.0.51
- Apache Tomcat 8.0.2
B) You may choose to apply the appropriate patch:
- Apache Commons FileUpload: http://svn.apache.org/r1565143
- Apache Tomcat 8: http://svn.apache.org/r1565163
- Apache Tomcat 7: http://svn.apache.org/r1565169
ModSecurity Commercial Rule Set
The ModSecurity commercial rule set was updated and protects against the attack.
It is possible to add the following user defined rule in block mode to detect and mitigate the attack:
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "@rx .{4000}"
For more information on how to create user-defined rules, please refer to http://blog.spiderlabs.com/2013/04/restricting-adobe-cq-admin-logins-with-trustwave-wafs.html
Note: Due to the low chances of a false detection (false positive) and the simplicity of the exploit, we highly recommend setting this rule to BLOCK and disabling simulation mode for this rule if you are concerned about Denial-of-Service (and suspect that your site is using one of the affected technologies).

Whether you are on a leisure trip or, on the contrary, professional, if you have an unlimited budget, of course, a luxury hotel provides you with conditions that you can not find in other hotels. Of course, luxury is a concept that can be distinguished from person to person, however, even so, only a 4 to 5 star hotel can provide similar conditions.
Several reasons may lead us to choose to stay in a considered luxury hotel, but it is undoubtedly that the level of service and hospitality is quite different from the others. Typically, the hotel is set in an appealing landscape and sometimes with the diversity of services present in the hotel, a guest does not even leave the hotel, since he finds all the conditions of comfort and leisure in the hotel, during periods of relatively Short.
The advantages associated with a luxury hotel
It is possible to identify several advantages in accommodation in a luxury hotel , among which we can highlight the following:
Check-in anytime – Sometimes low-cost hotel units do not provide the ability to check in at any time, unlike a luxury unit that always has a desk clerk to Guests arriving later.
Emphasis on comfort – Usually, when someone is staying in an affine hotel, you have the possibility to sleep better. This is because these hotels put more emphasis on the comfort of their guests, especially in the rooms, with the provision of comfortable beds, temperature control devices, among other conditions.
More value – If you are one of those people who pays attention to detail then you will be amazed by your stay in a hotel of this nature, benefiting from different conditions such as a small welcome gift or champagne offer if you are celebrating the Their honeymoon.
Better service – One of the main reasons for the rigor applied to the recruitment of many luxury hotels, namely for positions involving daily contact with guests, is precisely to promote the quality of service provided to them.
Possibility to change – If there is a problem with your room or any unexpected situation, a luxury hotel will certainly work with you to minimize the situation by arranging for another room and sometimes a suite to compensate Guest for what happened.
How to minimize the costs of a luxury hotel stay
Staying at a luxury hotel does not necessarily have to involve the expense of unbearable sums. In this sense, traveling during the low season is a great way not only to avoid the large influx of tourists, but it is also a great way to maximize your experience while minimizing the costs of your stay, as the rates drop from This time, when packages with very attractive prices are offered. Although you can find better prices in low season, hotels can also provide you with alternatives to take advantage of higher prices when traveling in other times, through other promotional programs or even loyalty.
To find the best deals when it comes to luxury hotel stays, do your own research, before visiting a travel agent, why many are advertised and can only be accessed through an online purchase, as long as you make sure that the Makes through a reputed website.

I am creating an installation package with InnoSetup for an Excel Add-In and have added an uninstall icon. This works fine except on Windows 7. In the Programs and Features section, all I got was a generic application icon, like the one shown below (related to ISTool from Bjørnar Henden):
Within the ISS script I have indeed set the uninstall icon to a customised icon based on Excel's own:
which looks like:
Rather amused with the issue but determined not to accept this 'quirk', I reviewed the script and found a way for setting the uninstall icon the way I wanted.
Just a brief intro to the uninstall icon. From Inno Setup's help we learn that
[Setup]: UninstallDisplayIcon
This lets you specify a particular icon file (either an executable or an .ico file) to display for the Uninstall entry in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet on Windows 2000 and later. The filename will normally begin with a directory constant.
If the file you specify contains multiple icons, you may append the suffix ",n" to specify an icon index, where n is the zero-based numeric index.
If this directive is not specified or is blank, Windows will select an icon itself, which may not be the one you prefer.
Examples:UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\MyProg.exe UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\MyProg.exe,1
By reading the explanation more in depth —something programmers usually don't do— I discovered that the icon (or the file containing the icon) had to be available on the target PC, otherwise Windows cannot locate it. Obviously my setup package didn't install this file, hence the missing icon, but above all I also did not want really to install this small file either. Point is that, except for Windows 7, all other OS's did show the icon.
So I tried to find a way to circumvent the problem and came with the solution while I was working on the AppId directive. In the explanation for this directive, the unistall section in the Registry was mentioned, reason enough for me to take a quick look into it. There, I discovered that Inno Setup had posted the name of the unistall icon under a REG_SZ value named '
DisplayIcon' which contained
Now, my application is uninstallable, and the unistaller comes packed with the same icon file I wanted to use (specified in the SetupIconFile directive). After changing '
DisplayIcon' to the name of the uninstaller (copied from the REG_SZ value '
UninstallString'), Windows 7 magically displayed my customised icon. Without bringing the custom icon in the installation package.
The nice thing in Inno Setup is that the name of the uninstaller is available as a constant called
{uninstallexe} and you can use it while developing your installation script. Setting the uninstall icon in the ISS script to:
does the job the way I want.
P.S.: you can also use Registry command to assign icons at run-time. I've seen that this should be performed at the very last stage during setup, best is during
CurStepChanged(ssDone), since Inno Setup may void your value if performed too sone while writing its own data to the Registry somwhere in the middle of the installation:
; Preprocessor stuff - define an AppId (this is just a sample) ; #define TheAppId "{AABBCCDD-1122-3344-5566-778899AABBCC}" [Setup] ; NOTE: The value of AppId uniquely identifies this application. ; Do not use the same AppId value in installers for other applications. ; (To generate a new GUID, click Tools | Generate GUID inside the IDE.) ; AppId={{#TheAppId} [Code] // {...other code...} procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep); begin case CurStep of ssInstall: // Do_Pre_Install(); ssPostInstall: // Do_Post_Install(); ssDone: // Update the Registry with the Uninstall icon from the unistaller. // RegWriteStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{#TheAppId}_is1', 'DisplayIcon', ExpandConstant('{uninstallexe}')); end; end;

For 12 years now they've been touting New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a model for the politics of the future. Beltway pundits have pushed hard for his amalgam of economically conservative policies and social-issues liberalism.
They seized on Bloomberg's mayoralty as a vindication of their vision. They were eager to tell us that us his winning candidacy was the harbinger of a new political trend.
They have yet to say the same about populist Bill de Blasio, who's leading the polls to replace Bloomberg. And yet, it could be argued that de Blasio is already a more significant political bellwether than Bloomberg ever was.
The race isn't over. But it's beginning to look as if de Blasio, not Bloomberg, is the shape of things to come.
It Takes a Campaign of Millions to Hold Us Back
They sneered at "partisanship." They told us that the ideal politician of tomorrow was a nonpartisan "technocrat" who ignored "ideology" – although they never told us who'd be pulling the levers in their new technocracy.
Pundits like Thomas Friedman and the late David S. Broder presented the corporate- and Wall Street-friendly Bloomberg as a shining example of their ideal, an unpopular right-leaning agenda which is frequently – and falsely – described as "centrism." They pointed to the Republican Bloomberg's three mayoral victories in Democratic New York as confirmation of his agenda's political strength. (How did he get past the city's two-term limit? As my grandmother, who lived on West End and 103rd, used to say: Don't ask.)
But Bloomberg's races have never been especially good indicators of the national mood – or even, arguably, of New York City's. Bloomberg's personal wealth allowed him to spend stratospheric amounts of money on his campaign, which meant his victories may have been nothing more than cash-driven anomalies.
How much cash are we talking about? The New York Times noted that expenditures for Bloomberg's three mayoral campaigns were $74 million, $85 million, and $102 million, respectively. That third figure comes to $185 per vote received (per the Times), or approximately $88 per vote cast.[1]
By contrast, total spending in the 2012 Presidential election – the most expensive in history – was roughly $46 per vote cast, roughly half of what Bloomberg spent.[2]
And yet, despite the spending, Bloomberg's margin of victory was less than 5 percentage points. That's hardly a ringing endorsement for his patriarchal brand of corporate "centrism."
New York, New York is a Hell of a Town
New Yorkers should be ready for a dose of populism right about now. Official statistics show that half of New York City's residents live at or near the poverty level, while the few who live at the other end of the scale are seeing their income soar to unprecedented heights.
And yet, Bloomberg was able to win relatively strong approval numbers from New York City's population. He did it with a potpourri of policy positions that led de Blasio to observe: "On health and the environment, he is Franklin Roosevelt. On economic justice, he's Adam Smith."
With great respect for Mr. de Blasio, that's not exactly right. Adam Smith was far tougher on corporations than most of those claiming his legacy today. But the candidate's point is well taken: Bloomberg was able to quell New Yorkers' dissatisfaction with his pro-wealthy and pro-corporate economics by assuming liberal positions on lifestyle issues.
That's a posture he shares with a number of Democratic politicians in the Clinton mold.
The New Populism
It could be argued that de Blasio's rise in the polls is an anomaly, too. But there are good reasons to believe that his candidacy represents a broader trend.
First, de Blasio doesn't have Bloomberg-style cash. His rise in the polls can be attributed to his message, not his money. And that message is heavily populist. De Blasio's been emphasizing the wide income divide that characterizes Bloomberg's New York City. A modest millionaire's tax for early childhood education is a cornerstone of de Blasio's campaign.
And de Blasio isn't an outlier. He's part of a broader political trend that resonates with voters. The Democrats, especially President Obama, leaned heavily toward Bloomberg-style "centrism" in 2010, and lost Congress. Spurred by the polls, and by the brief but transformative impact of the Occupy movement, the president and his party pivoted to populist themes in 2012 and won handily.
(What about Congress, you ask? Gerrymandering returned the Republican majority. But Democrats won the popular vote for Congress by well over a million votes.)
Populism Rising?
Americans voted for populism in 2012. Americans for Tax Fairness compiled polling data that showed that 60 percent of voters wanted the Bush tax cuts ended for income of $250,000 and above. They wanted Social Security and Medicare benefits protected. Voters also thought deficit shortfalls should be addressed by taxing the rich, an opinion they favored by 64 percent to 17 percent.
Nearly two-thirds of those polled said that "the message [they] were trying to send to the next president and Congress with [their] votes this year" was: "We should make sure the wealthy start paying their fair share of taxes."
That's de Blasio's message too. We seem to be seeing a trend developing which favors the politics of economic justice.
It's true that Bloomberg was able to keep Gracie Mansion with massive campaign spending and a faux populism derived from his liberal social views. It's also true that the Mayor's race isn't over. We could still see a massive infusion of campaign cash which affects the outcome. An unexpected revelation could shift the dynamics of the race. But Bloomberg's brand of corporate centrism has already been resoundingly repudiated.
But we've already learned something very important from Bill de Blasio's rise to the top of the polls, and the corresponding plunge of Bloomberg-style politician Christine Quinn. To paraphrase an old political adage: In a race between a "populist" and a populist, we may be learning that the populist wins every time.
[1] To reach that figure we divided Bloomberg's total spending from the number of votes cast.
[2] We used the same methodology for the 2012 presidential election, using a higher-end spending estimate assembled by OpenSecrets.org.

What is Accident Insurance?
This is an insurance that protects employees who have have gotten injured at the workplace. As mandated by the department of labor and other government agencies, such coverage is fully sponsored by an employer. A worker who becomes disabled because of work-related incidents can receive money to pay for living expenses, medical bills and other losses.
Who it is For
Accident insurance is designed to protect people who are legally employed. If a person works for cash, he or she is simply not eligible to receive any monetary benefits from such an insurance policy. Once a person reaches retirement age, he or she might be covered by this insurance as long as there is proof of employment.
How it Works
An employer has to make monthly contri butions into a fund that is set aside to pay for various expenses of injured employees. In order to file a claim, a worker must show lots of valid evidence of an accident that occurred during work hours. In many cases, a thorough investigation is launched to determine if the injured worker followed all proper occupational safety protocols and standards. Additionally, employers are also interviewed and audited in order to determine any neglect in workplace safety.
Different Types of Coverage in Existence
This insurance yields money for medical bills that are compiled by workers who have been injured while doing job duties. Physical rehabilitation and stays at nursing homes are some services and amenities that are covered by this type of plan. The extent of an injury determines the amount of money that an injured worker can get after getting into an accident at work. People who become permanently disabled could even qualify for long-term benefits under this insurance package.
Major Benefits
Employees who get into accidents at a work site can have some peace of mind and financial security with this type of insurance policy. After properly recovering with the appropriate treatment, workers can get back to their job without fear of retaliation or other cuts by an employer. This insurance guarantees payment for people who suffer from work-related accidents.

Boxing News
Boxing Schedule
Anton Upton
Raucous. That's the best way to describe York Hall when the 'Upton Clan' descend upon it for fight nights. Expect to see the tricolour of the Irish flag drapen off balconies, heads and.....well, anything that is available. The Upton Clan consists of three brothers; Paul, Sonny and Anthony (Anton). Today I have got hold of Anton, the youngest of five brothers - four of which took up boxing and one of three to turn professional. Being half blind, the oldest was unable to - but, Anton tells me "he was really good, strong. Very strong".
Anton, at 23 years old, has a professional record of nine wins, no losses and no draws and is the youngest of the three fighting brothers. With 4 knockouts on his resume he is progressing nicely in the light welterweight division.
"The first 18 months have been good - successful. I honestly think if the opponents had come to fight me I would have 9 KOs on my record". Ah, the familiar story of the journeyman opponent, there to spoil. "It's not a problem to me. I'm learning my trade. I don't like getting hit, but who does?! I'm learning to stay sharp and elusive against these guys. I'm seeing shots coming and getting away, nothing has troubled me so far."
Who would he rate as the hardest of the fighters he has made easy work of then? He gives it a bit of a think, then remembers of one fighter. "Lubos Priehradnik. Wow, that fight - I hurt my hand in it. I didn't break it, but I went back to the corner and told Ricky at the end of the third that it was sore. He told me just to use my skills and see it through, which I did. He's been in with other UK fighters after that and caused them issues, so I'm pleased with it."
The Ricky that he refers to is British ring legend, Manchester's Ricky Hatton. The youngest of the Upton clan ended up following his brother Sonny up to Manchester to train with Hatton. "Sonny was with him, and I was down in London. I thought 'Wow, he's training with Ricky, that's unreal'. So I asked Ricky if I could do some training with him and thankfully he said yes. Then Paul followed us up here too. Ricky has had so much success over the years and now he's passing it on."
Being a success in the ring doesn't always lend itself to being a top coach out of it. What does Anton make of the Hatton training methods? "What a trainer - really, he is top class. He's the best by far that I've had. And he's great out of the ring too, he helps us get dates lined up - he gave me five dates I would be fighting in 2015 so we could plan our breaks, our camps and thing like that. He's been really good getting us linked up with Steve Goodwin of Goodwin Promotions too, getting us on the York Hall shows. Steve and Kevin (Campion of Goodwin Promotions), they're good people."
Hatton was renowned for his aggressive ring nature, and his out of the ring lifestle. He build up a huge following over the years - something that is in the infancy for Anton and the family. York Hall has been a bit of a base of late for them, but there are fans in Manchester, London and even Scotland. Does Anton take the same route Ricky did of hand delivering the tickets to fans?
It's clear this is a tight knit group. Anton tells me: "When I was growing up my brothers were my idols. I look up to them. We never went short on sparring! Nowadays when we have a fight coming up we live together, train together and stay together. Once fight night is done then we tend to go our separate ways. It's good for us to do our own thing for a bit and then we get back together next time."
So it's time to get the brothers back together. Anton has his fight on the horizon - he has taken today off training as he still has a few weeks to go and is suffering a stomach ache and has time on his side. That's not limited to just his training for this fight - Upton feels that his career doesn't need to be rushed at this point either. "My next fight will be a six rounder, I haven't got an opponent lined up next. I don't want to rush things, I want to learn in every fight and tick all the boxes. For instance, I haven't been cut yet - touch wood I won't have to be, but I could still do with experiencing it. Same thing with being wobbled - I want to learn and experience these things before I get to title fights."
There is a sternness to Anton, an unwavering belief. When he talked about future title fights he talks in the "when" not "if" mode. He may not have been tested yet in the ring, but he has shown his ability to adapt out of it already, having upped sticks to head for Machester with Ricky Hatton. That shows a determination to succeed. Where he goes in the future he sees as being the task of Ricky Hatton. "I just want to get this next fight out of the way then we will see. I want it to be an eight rounder after this one. But it's up to Ricky, he will know when I'm ready."
Four older brother - two of whom he can relate to through occupation. Four idols already in place. One former world champion to nurture, guide and coach. Anton may not be the full package yet, but if you had to design an environment for a fighter to succeed within, then it would look something like the Upton Clan.
You can follow Anton on Twitter @AntouptonJR
He asked to pass on a special thank to Musclefood, his primary sponsors, who have been a "massive help" to his career.

Conducts an energy-saving and tree plantation drive, esides sensitising employees against the wasteful use of paper
India CSR News Network
NEW DELHI: On the occasion of World Environment Day – which falls on Sunday June 5 – Roposo, along with its employees decided to come together for eco-friendly initiatives.
From Friday onward, Roposo started the day by switching off the lights for three hours and ensured that the air conditioning was at an environment-friendly 24 degrees centigrade. The management has decided to maintain this temperature (24 degrees C) throughout the summer in order to increase electricity savings by 3-5%. All office lights and air conditioners will remain switched off from Friday evening to Monday morning.
In addition, the company has also initiated an interesting tree plantation drive in the office complex that saw participation from all the employees. In a bid to do their bit to save the environment, the employees pledged to take care of the trees in their surroundings, and also plant more trees in their residential vicinity.
Roposo is doing away with paper cups and replacing them with reusable mugs and glasses. The employees were also advised to limit the use of paper napkins. To further enhance the environmental consciousness of its workforce, the company is hosting a breakfast session on Tuesday, June 7, to discuss various ways in which everybody can collectively pitch in and work out simple solutions to save the environment.
Talking about the need to take up these initiatives, HR Head at Roposo, Mona Thangaraj said, "On account of World Environment Day, we at Roposo are introducing a number of initiatives to do our own little bit for the planet. We believe if we start these initiatives at an office level, their impact will eventually make its way into the individual lives of our employees and will enhance their propensity to be sensitive towards the environment in their own way."
Aligning the organisational initiatives with the ongoing 'Swach Bharat Abhiyan', she added, "we are also looking at composting waste and tying up with an NGO. We are strongly discouraging waste of paper. All our endeavors are in accordance with the Swach Bharat vision!"

Hot, Lovable, and Sweet: Annette Hanshaw and Early Female Vocal Jazz
Annette Hanshaw was one of the very first female jazz vocalists, as well as one of the most exciting singers of the 1920s and early 30s. Critic Will Friedwald, who has written extensively (and most insightfully) on jazz singing, ranks her alongside Al Bowlly as one of the few artists that "used the musical idiom of the twenties in a creative, modern way" (1). Although I believe that there were more singers other than these two that also experimented with more modern approaches to the vocal art in that era, Friedwald is certainly right concerning Hanshaw: she was well ahead of her time in that she understood the rhythmic qualities of jazz much better than most of her contemporaries and applied them to her singing in a very personal, highly inventive way. From today's standpoint, there is no doubt that her records sound more modern and engaging than those of Helen Kane or Ruth Etting.
Born into a wealthy family in 1901 (although for many years the date was believed to be 1910), Hanshaw got her start performing at her father's hotels. On a certain night in 1926, producer Herman "Wally" Rose (whom she would later marry) happened to be among the audience and was quick to realize her potential, subsequently signing her to a contract with Pathé. These were the years of the recording boom, when large amounts of records were produced and sold worldwide, and so Hanshaw recorded extensively, soon becoming one of the most popular artists on the label and gaining more public exposure through a series of radio spots. It did not take her long to graduate to one of the major labels, Columbia, who also put out the records of Ruth Etting, at the time one of the most popular singing stars in the country. Columbia issued Hanshaw's efforts on subsidiary budget labels in order to prevent any kind of conflict between the two singers, but this did not affect her record sales, and even in the years following the 1929 stock market crash, Hanshaw still proved to be extremely popular with record buyers.
But despite the success of her records, Hanshaw apparently dreaded public appearances and did not exploit her image as the quintessential 1920s flapper in movies. After her marriage to Rose in 1934, she decided to put an end to her very popular radio show and stopped recording altogether around 1938. Hanshaw would live to see her records reissued in the 1970s, when she was certainly surprised to find out that there was a kind of renewed interest in her recorded output. Unfortunately, unlike other stars from the twenties such as Nick Lucas, she never really attempted to make a comeback. Her husband had passed away in 1954, and in 1975 she remarried; nobody seems to have advised her that it would have been a good idea to get back into the recording studio, and if anyone did, she did not listen. Hanshaw died in New York in 1985, leaving behind a very valuable legacy of recorded music that is highly interesting to both pop and jazz aficionados.
Her complete recordings are yet to be reissued in their entirety (a project that, like the release of Cliff Edwards's Hot Combinations, should be undertaken by some label like Proper or JSP), but there are a couple of fine compilations on CD that serve as good introductions to her music. Lovable & Sweet (ASV / Living Era, 1997) is perhaps the best one around, and although the English reissue label seems to have gone out of business, the disc is still fairly easy to find. The material included in the collection proves, on the one hand, that Hanshaw very adeptly assimilated the jazz idiom very early on, and on the other, that her selection of material is very wide-ranging. She sings rather straight on two Hawaiian-flavored sides with Frank Ferera ("Pagan Love Song" and "Ua Like No a Like," from 1929) but she applies her jazz inflections not only to jazz numbers like "Black Bottom" and "Six Feet of Papa," but also to more conventional pop tunes such as "Little White Lies" and "Walkin' My Baby Back Home." When she runs through "Everything's Made for Love" (1926), with Irving Brodsky on piano, she sounds way hipper than crooner Gene Austin in his version of the tune recorded that same year. Two of my personal favorites on this compilation, which features tracks waxed between 1926 and 1934, are her outstanding 1930 rendition of "Body and Soul" (which even includes an accordion) and her 1934 recording of Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler's "Let's Fall in Love," in which she is backed by an all-star band including Jack Teagarden and Joe Venuti.
As a matter of fact, many of her hot sides included such jazz luminaries as Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Eddie Lang, Red Nichols, Miff Mole, Manny Klein, and Adrian Rollini. These are well represented in The Twenties Sweetheart (Jasmine, 1995), a compilation that concentrates on Hanshaw's earlier recordings, cut between 1926 and 1928. Here, Hanshaw's vocals are at their jazziest best, bouncing along effortlessly, her voice shining atop the hot backings: these are the records that built her reputation as a jazz singer, and many of them end with her idiosyncratic "That's all!," used to mark the end of the record right after the last note has been played. As her records clearly show, Annette Hanshaw is an essential figure of the early stages of recorded vocal jazz. It is too bad that she decided to cut short her remarkable career, that she chose not to make any more records. But the records that she made are certainly jazz classics and prove as enjoyable more than eighty years after they were cut as when they were first released. In my opinion, no assessment of Hanshaw's stature as an artist is more accurate than that of John Hammond, who is reported to have said about her, "I don't think she realizes how good she is" (2). Fortunately, any jazz fan easily does.

I believe that someone has been issuing (or issued) a chronological series of Hanshaw recordings (not to be confused with the Classics label) and that they can be found. Sorry that I can't recall the label or any info, but I'll see if I can find them.

You are right: a chronological series of Hanshaw's recordings is being issued by the Sensation label, but so far the way that the CDs are being released is rather strange. Volumes 5, 6, and 7 are available (you can buy them from Amazon), but Volumes 1 through 4 don't seem to have been released yet... It's too bad that JSP or Proper haven't decided to dig into the Hanshaw vaults yet: her music deserves one of their usually excellent reissues!!!
And, incidentally, there is also a nice website on Hanshaw with quite a bit of information about her, including a discography:

I agree that Annette deserves a box set. I'm not sure if any more Sensation cds will be forth coming. I believe the label was started by Jeff Healey, a great guitarist in his own right, who sadly passed away some time back.

I am sorry that it has taken me so long to read and reply to your comment. I have been really busy lately with various things and have had less time to devote to the blog. However, I am thinking of ideas for new articles and listening to lots of great vintage jazz stuff every day.
I don't understand why no labels have decided to put out a boxset with Annette's complete recorded works. That would make a wonderful project, and if anyone ever decided to undertake it, I'd be so happy that I'd offer to write the liner notes for free!!! :-)
Thanks for stopping by the blog! More articles coming soon...

Dear friend... Many thanks for the message you sent me. I'm also sending you my greetings from Greece. Your website focus especially on Jazz music... So, we are close in our musical preferences... I was born with the real blues, you know. Growing up, i liked also the world music. You can see many related videos in my both blogs:
Have always good health and good mood...

It seems Ms. Hanshaw considered making a comeback later in life, and some amateur recordings she made as a way of sort of dipping her toe in the water of performing again can be found on YouTube.

- Anton Garcia-Fernandez said...
Dear Cladrite Radio,
Thank you very much for your comment. If Annette Hanshaw had a comeback in mind late in life, it unfortunately did not come to fruition. She is the perfect example of an extremely talented artist who was somehow not aware of how good she really was, so it is too bad that she did not record any LPs in the era of HiFi. I am not aware of the existence of those recordings that you mention but would be really grateful if you could leave us the YouTube links here because I would certainly like to hear them!!! :-)
Thanks again for your comment,

Reportedly, Annette suffered from stage fright more than the average singer, and that might have contributed to her early retirement in 1936. She did go on in radio after her recording career ended, appearing on the Maxwell House Showboat and Camel Caravan programs.
Brian Rust met with her on a trip to the US in the late '50s and she was helpful to his research efforts. There's a great photo of the two here: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Tm6rbwLR7Es/TQR7r8JOx4I/AAAAAAAAZPY/LGaHSOoUX6U/s320/annette%2Bandf%2Bbrian.jpg

Readers of Physics Buzz:
Let me introduce myself. I graduated a few short weeks ago from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff with degrees in Physics, Astronomy and Journalism and as this year's APS Science Writing Intern I'll be bringing you frequent tales from the frontiers of physics. Since you're already on a physics forum, I'll assume that like me, you too are deranged enough to not quiver when you see a topic like stellar nucleosynthesis or quantum teleportation.
That said, I'll try to keep it fun.
I remember countless undergraduate lectures on something exciting like how a star evolves reduced to derivations and radiation pressure gradients. I'll avoid that at all costs. Fortunately, as a science writer I get to do the opposite of what your scary freshmen physics professor did, I get to take an abstract subject and make it accessible.
In my Physics Buzz posts, I'll write about the latest physics research and trends, and I'll do my best to have fun with it. All my favorite writing comes from compelling stories of people and places. And what cooler people are there than physicists and who else gets cooler toys? Honestly-space based observatories, lasers, nuclear reactors, multi-billion dollar particle accelerators (Ruben's tube anyone?)-how could you not have fun?
Why Flash Modin? Well, in a very tricky formula, I took the name of my first pet (a basset hound named Flash) and then my mother's maiden name (Modin) and voila my very own Physics Buzz nom de plume.
So, I'm thrilled to be bringing you stories from the wonderful world of physics. Stay tuned in the coming months for lots of physics excitement and feel free to chime in with comments and suggestions along the way.

Flash Modin, I like it. Sounds like you came from a great family and had a great education. I look forward to reading your posts, hopefully they'll make the common folk, or even people like English majors, understand what's going on in the world of Physics. You're a long way from Flagstaff, AZ but I'm certain there are people there who love and miss you very much. Don't forget about them while your in the big world of physics ;)ReplyDelete
