The concept of proof by mathematical induction (sometimes abbreviated as "proof by induction") is connected to both mathematics and computer science. Proof by mathematical induction is an elegant and powerful way of proving that a proposition holds (or is true) for all natural numbers.
The set of natural numbers is the set {1, 2, 3, …} – the set of non-negative whole numbers (integers). Sometimes 0 is included, in which case the set of natural numbers is taken to mean the set {0, 1, 2, 3, …}. This leeway in terminology will not affect us; the idea behind proof by induction is the same in either case. In this handout we will use the first definition of natural numbers.
Suppose you are asked to prove that something –some proposition– is true for all natural numbers. For example, you are asked to show that no matter what the natural number n is, the sum of the first n natural numbers is n(n+1)/2. [If n is 5, this says that the sum of the first five integers is 5 times 6 divided by 2. To check: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15, and 5*6/2 = 15, so the formula works for n = 5.]
How do we proceed?
One method is to try verifying this formula for all natural numbers individually, starting from 1. To do this we would say "The sum of the first 1 numbers is 1, and 1*2/2 = 1, so it works for 1. Secondly, the sum of the first 2 numbers is 1+2=3, and 2*3/2=3, so this formula also holds for 2. Thirdly, the sum of the first 3 numbers is…" We can see that this method will work but not be practical because what we're asked to show is the truth of the proposition for ALL natural numbers – an infinitely large set. If we continued this way, we'd never finish.
The idea behind proof by induction is this. We want to show that a proposition is true for all natural numbers. Suppose we could show that (1) whenever this proposition is true for a natural number m, then it has to be true for the next bigger natural number, m+1. And then suppose we showed that (2) the proposition is true for the very first natural number, 1. Then we'd be done!
If we proved those two things, we can reason as follows. It works for the natural number 1. We've shown that whenever it works for a natural number, it works for the next bigger natural number. That means that it must hold for the number 2. That means that it must hold for the number 3 and, by the same logic, for every natural number. We'd be finished.
That is the method of proof by induction. We prove that if a formula holds for a natural number, then it must hold for the next bigger natural number. And we verify that it works for the first natural number by hand, with an individual, and usually simple, calculation.
Let's see how this works for the above example. This example illustrates the idea of proof by induction in particular, but it also sheds light on the more general concept of what is meant by a "mathematical proof."
Prove that the sum of the first n natural numbers is n(n+1)/2.
We shall use proof by induction. First let's verify this formula for the first natural number, 1. This is known as the "base case." Let's do it: what is the sum of the first 1 natural numbers? The answer is 1. And what does the formula say the sum of the first 1 natural number should be? It says it should be 1(1+1)/2, or 1. That was trivially easy.
Next we'll do what's known as the inductive step, which is a way of saying that we'll show that whenever this formula holds for any natural number, it must hold for the next bigger natural number. Here's how we do that: assume that this proposition (or formula) holds for a given number i. So, we assume that 1 + 2 + 3 + … + i = i(i +1)/2. This is known as the "inductive hypothesis." Assuming this holds, we must prove that this formula must work for the next bigger natural number, i +1. In other words, we must show that the sum of the first i +1 natural numbers is (i +1)(i +2)/2, or that 1 + 2 + …+ i + (i +1) = (i +1)(i +2)/2.
We don't know yet that this must be true. We assume that the formula we're trying to prove holds for the first i numbers, but we are not assuming that it holds for the first i + 1 numbers. To prove that it does, we have to make use of the inductive hypothesis. By the inductive hypothesis, 1 + 2 + …+ i + (i +1) = i(i +1)/2 + (i + 1). [We've used the fact that the sum of the first i natural numbers is i(i +1)/2.] Next, we need to see if we can change the right hand side of this equation, i(i + 1)/2 + (i + 1), into the desired form,
(i +1)(i +2)/2. With some algebra, i(i + 1)/2 + (i + 1) = i(i +1)/2 + 2(i +1)/2 = (i ^2 + i + 2i + 2) /2 becomes (i^2 + 3i + 2)/2 = (i +1)(i +2)/2, which is what we wanted. So we've shown that whenever this formula works for (an arbitrary) natural number i, it must work for the next bigger natural number i + 1.
We're done. We've shown that our proposition holds for 1, and that whenever it holds for a number, it must hold for the next bigger number.
This same idea can be extended to more complicated problems.
The key step is assuming that the proposition holds for an arbitrary natural number n, and then proving that it must follow that the proposition holds for the next bigger natural number, n+1. Also show that the proposition holds for the first natural number. Notice the subtlety in this argument. The idea of proof by mathematical induction is important not only in mathematics, but also in computer science. It is often used to verify the correctness of recursive computer programs.

Sun's activity shown to influence natural climate change
In a new study that may greatly add to our understanding of the drivers behind climate change, researchers from Lund University in Sweden claim to have accurately reconstructed solar activity levels during the last ice age. By analyzing trace elements in ice core samples in Greenland and cave mineral formations in China, the scientists assert that regional climate is more influenced by the sun than previously thought.

Balancing a healthy amount of time in the sun while avoiding overexposure to its harmful UV rays can be a a difficult task. Indeed, the challenge of finding this happy medium has produced a bevy of of UV-detecting wristbands, such as the UVeBand and the UVA+Sunfriend. Smartsun is the latest to join the ranks of such devices, alerting users to dangerous levels of UV exposure by changing color from yellow to pink when it's time to head indoors. Read More
Netatmo's JUNE bracelet adds touch of style to UV monitoring
There's no doubt that UV-monitoring wristbands like the UVeBand and UVA+B Sunfriend are a good idea for those spending some time in the sun. But most favor function over fashion, which is why Netatmo, a company known for its range of weather stations, has launched JUNE, a UV-tracking bracelet and accompanying app aimed at helping users to better manage their sun exposure and look fashionable doing it.

Most of us are aware of the dangers surrounding the amount of time we spend in the sun. Although we rely on exposure to sunlight to provide us with vitamin D, a lack of protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to skin cancer. It can be a fine line between a healthy dose of sun and retreating indoors to coat ourselves in Aloe vera. The UVA+B Sunfriend aims to promote a healthy amount of sun exposure by alerting users when it is time to make for the shade. Read More
Ancient solar twin sheds light on lithium content question
Astronomers have used the ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) to observe the Sun-like star HIP 102152. The object, which resides 250 light-years away, is a solar twin exhibiting very similar attributes to our own Sun. HIP 102152 is nearly four billion years older than the Sun, a characteristic that has provided a valuable insight into the link between the age of a star and the amount of lithium it carries.

After a long eight-year wait, the building of Australia's Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope has finally reached completion. The radio telescope's first major task will be to investigate the Sun to provide earlier warnings of solar storms that, if left unchecked, could fry satellites and power grids across the globe. The telescope will also be sued to scout the sky for the earliest, most distant galaxies ever detected in an attempt to resolve unanswered questions on the origins of the Universe. Read More
Sun and Moon Watch tells time with movement of celestial bodies
In the 17th century, a period of experimentation began into how best to represent time. It was during this period of innovation that "Sun and Moon" watches – which literally showed the passing of time with moving images of these celestial bodies – became popular. The Sun and Moon Watch from Mr Jones Watches is a revival of this design, eschewing the familiar segmented face with hands and numerals showing the exact hour and minute in favor of visual representations of day and night.

The European Space Agency (ESA) this week announced the first two missions selected for its Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 Plan. The first, known as Solar Orbiter, will see a spacecraft operating closer to the Sun than any previous mission with a particular focus on examining the solar wind. The second, Euclid, is essentially a space telescope whose primary goal is to study the accelerating expansion of the universe in an attempt to provide an understanding of the exact nature of dark matter.

New finding could lead to sunburn-healing drugs
While there may be medications that help soothe sunburnt skin, when it comes to healing that skin ... well, we pretty much have to just wait for our bodies to do that on their own. Recent research conducted at Ohio State University, however, suggests that an actual healing treatment for sunburn may be on the way. It all comes down to some new understandings about an enzyme named photolyase. Read More

Sand Dunes, Qatar
7 Reviews
7 Reviews
The desert Safari was one of the funniest things I did when I was in Qatar. Driving up and down the BIG sand dunes with a crazy driver, who likes to fly lol Believe me, it is better than a rollercoaster ride, if you get a good driver... :) And you get to see the Inland sea, maybe camels, and just get to drive around the desert... remember to enjoy every minute of it, cos the desert in Qatar is amazing!!
A highlight on a Qatar trip is a desert tour threw the dunes in south of the country. The Qataris are really spezialists in climbing and sliding the dunes with their Jeeps.
Just ask in your hotel for a tour, they will arrange it for you.
About 94 percent of the land of Qatar is flat, barren desert with barely a tree or a hill to be seen for miles around. Average high temperatures in the summer months tend to hover around 106 degrees Fahrenheit, though higher temperatures are common. Rainfall is typically less than two inches for the entire year, falling mostly in the winter. Most of the country's drinking water is obtained through desalinization of Persian Gulf water. The only animals I've ever seen in Qatar are sly desert fox and annoying flies.
Wow, it was just so fun!! You can ride a camel then you go to the desert on 4WD !!
My driver was a crazy Arab guy and it was just soooooo thrilling!!
Could go and see the beautiful beach, across the water was Saudi Arabia and Dubai..
Just great experience!
I booked this tour through Regency travel Qatar....
The dunes are amazing. The shape of them, their height make just seeing them a pleasant trip. Trying to climb them is hard on the leg muscles, but from the tracks in the sand it is obvious that driving up the dunes is apopular past time.
Looking in the distance , the gas and oil facilities can be seen.
It is worth taking the time to drive and see this area.
If you love deserts (like I do), Qatar is a great country for you. Just grab a car from any rental companies, fill the tank in Doha (believe it or not, it is not easy to find petrol stations in the countryside), and head out to the desert. In the north you can find stony deserts, while sand dunes can be found in the south, close to the Saudi borderlines.
Don't miss the limestone outcrops at Bir Zekreet (it is a tiny village in the West, near Dukhan) and the sand dunes south of Mesaieed.
There are not many places in the world, where you can do skiing in the sand!
It's quite steep but the slope is not very long and walking up again (with 40°C) is realy exhausting.

I can honestly say that this year can be summed up in one simple word. It wasn't amazing, nor was it wonderful, not sad, or terrible, though it probably was all those things one time or another. No, my year has been very interesting. Now it is finally drawing to a close, and looking back on everything that's happened I am amazed at how the time flew by.

text: Lauda says Alonso best driver will win title 4 October, 2010 Fernando Alonso Oct.4 (GMM) Niki Lauda has backed Fernando Alonso to win the 2010 world championship, although the Spaniard is 11 points behind championship leader Mark Webber's Red Bull, but the Ferrari driver has won two grands prix on the trot from pole. Fernando winning in Singapore Triple world champion Lauda was highly critical of Alonso throughout the Hockenheim team orders affair, but he has now told Osterreich newspaper that the 29-year-old is poised to win a third title. "Why?" the Austrian asked rhetorically. "Because he has twice been champion, and not by chance. He is the best driver today. "When you assess together a driver's speed, intelligence, ability to take risks efficiently to score maximum points always, he is simply the best," said Lauda, 61. Lauda also said Australian Webber has "surprised everyone" this season with his consistency. Fernando with title rivals Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel But he thinks the Red Bull driver will only beat Alonso if his car is "clearly superior" to the Ferrari. And despite his misgivings during the team orders saga, Lauda said observers can only respect Ferrari at this decisive phase of the championship because "they will do everything possible to bridge the gap separating them from Red Bull". 1996 world champion Damon Hill, however, fears that Alonso's 2010 title might be tainted by his inherited victory over teammate Felipe Massa in Germany. "There will be people who feel that points should have been taken away from Ferrari and Alonso," he told the Mail on Sunday. Tweet http://www.last.fm/group/Formula+1 Bec Alonso has engine issues, Webber still has 1 spare engine. JamesR Fine, Alonso is the best of the current bunch and will maximise the potential of any car. Did we really need Niki to state the obvious! 1821,

My name is Terri and I am very passionate about education and grounding our children's future in it. Students have no real chance at success in life without education. I have worked for educational institutions for more than 20 years. UT School of Public Health, UT Harris County Hospital, Texas Southern University and Fort Bend Independent School District. I also taught Sunday school and vacation bible school.
I have 2 children and 2 grandchildren. My daughter is a graduate of Steven F. Austin and will soon complete her master's degree. There are several of my nieces, whom I helped raise, have received the honor of acquiring master degrees in their field of study. I have encouraged and have been supportive of them always. Not only do I offer tutoring but encouragement to reach your goals in life and bring out the success story that is inside each of you.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have used Adobe Flash for at least 10 years. I have loaded it to look at video clips linked into presentations. I have also loaded it to watch video clips and Webinars.
My experiences with religious studies started when I was a young child. My family took me to Sunday school and church on a regular basis. My Sunday school teachers were interested in teaching us the foundations of the bible first. We learned the books of the bible and had to stand up in class and recite them by memory. We spent months on that assignment before we even went into the text.
My experiences with teaching bible classes and vacation bible school during the summers was very rewarding and a lot of fun. I taught K-6 grades. I am still one of the alternate teachers for Sunday school at my church. I have also taken a Biblical Studies class from the University of Phoenix and I made a great grade.
I have worked with Desktop Publishing (DTP)for more than 15 years. I worked 10 years in 1980 - 1990 with a major Texas university. I also worked for another major university for 5 years using desktop publishing to help produce documents for my training classes.
My background in K-6 students has been for 5 years. I just signed a contract to work for the local school district for the up and coming year. I am extremely passionate about children being educated. My goal is to pass on knowledge to children and if I'm lucky inspire them to have passion, as well, for education.
I have used MS Outlook as an email tool for a long time. My use of it has been in a professional environment and at home. It is one of MS Office best and most used tools.
I used MS Publisher for 5 years when I was a Network Administer for a local university. I also used it to publish our church bulletin. It is a very handy tool.
Windows operating system has been around along time. My Windows experience spans from 1985 when it was introduced. I have used all Windows versions up to Windows 7 (professional and home). I have also trained others to use it.
I worked for ten years in a network of IBM 5520 word processing equipment. I designed our network infrastructure in the school and connected the workstation. My job was to make sure the computers, on the network, emulated with the IBM 5520 system.
I also worked for the Children's Protective Services system as a Computer Network Technician. My job there was to install software and hardware to our LAN and make them work. We installed desktop computers and printing devices. I also worked for another university as a Network Administrator for 5 years. I have also done a lot of training staff and faculty members during that time; also worked as an instructor for HCC's weekend college.

There is a small box◊ under each page in editing view that allows you to leave an (optional) edit reason. While edit reasons are indeed optional, they are often a very good idea, for both adding information and removing it.
When adding information, leaving an edit reason is often a good idea for the following reasons:
When removing information, leaving an edit reason is even more vital because of the following reasons:
When removing information, it's also a good idea to leave an edit reason for each removal.
A null edit is the process of opening the edit page screen, then immediately saving it without making any changes. There are a few reasons why you might make one.
Coolness and RudenessPlease be cool when you edit. Being cool when you edit means to keep your edit reasons somewhat concise (if you can't sum up your edit reason in 50 words or less, you should probably link the discussion page instead of using the edit reason box for it, and sermonizing in edit reasons is incredibly uncool). It also means being clear in your edit reason - see the point above on removing material. Sometimes a simple "added event xyx" can be cool if you're adding information, for example, or if you're removing a bad link, "Links to gelbooru pools violate policy" is better than "Ewwwww I don't want to see that shit!" Keep your mood in mind. If you're having a bad day or in a bad mood in the first place, it's probably a good idea not to go editing. TV Tropes is not your job (even though it can feel like it), so you're not obligated to work on it no matter your mood. If you find you're finding stupidity that needs to be removed wherever you go and it's irritating you more and more, taking a break is probably a good idea. Likewise, don't use this kind of editing as a way of getting your stress out. Rudeness is not cool A rude edit reason includes, but is not limited to, any of the following:

We are new to dvc. We purchase 18 months ago and are excited to be booking soon our first trip as members. I was wanting some imput on alunia. With information I have read on trip advisor it says only to stay there if u are just staying at the hotel. We were wanting to explore the island. Pearl harbour etc. would u recommend to try and do rci trade fro somewhere or did u find that everything was still ok to do with a rental car?
The Disney resort on Oahu (Aulani)is beautiful. I haven't stayed at the resort but I have eaten there and walked through the grounds. When I go to Oahu I stay in the Waikiki area. Yes, the Aulani is a beautiful place to stay, but I wouldn't recommend it if your main goal is to explore the island. Unlike Waikiki you don't have a lot of walkable options for dining and entertainment. Oahu is very easy to drive, so it would be easy to tour the island with a rental car. However, keep in mind that parking in Honolulu and in the Waikiki area is very limited and can be expensive. If you just want to go and relax and enjoy a resort, Aulani will be great. If you haven't been to Oahu before and want to experience the island I would reccomend staying in Waikiki. How about staying a few nights at the Aulani then moving to a Waikiki hotel for the rest of your stay?
We spent 10 days in Hawaii last August. We stayed on Waikiki. We didn't need a rental car. We could walk to lots of things. We also took tours (they pick you up at your resort), and the trolley. Aulani was just to far away. Traffic can be pretty bad on Oahu, plus you will have to pay to park at most places. Pearl Harbor is amazing. We took the ful day tour and saw everything. I don't think I'd have received as much detail seeing it on my own.
and Welcome Home to DVC! party:
There is a whole group of forums devoted to DVC on the DIS. Here's a link to a DVC resort forum.
You will find more thread in the DVC miscellaneous forum.
Scroll through the pages or do a search and you will find many posts about Aulani. You'll find many threads from those of us who have stayed there. :) It's a stunning resort.
We did have a car and enjoyed exploring the island without dealing with Waikiki traffic. It is absolutely true that there aren't as many restaurants in the area as in Waikiki but we found plenty of options for an 8 night stay and can't wait to get back.
Someone asked if Aulani was really as great as has been reported. I think this poster summed it up well:
We were there for 10 days in October and rented a car. We LOVE Aulani and we are going back in just a few months!
A suggestion depending on length of stay- Waikiki for 2-3 nights on the front end, do Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, etc... Then spend 5-7 nights at Aulani. I loved that it was far away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. I can get city at home. If you want a balance of relaxation you could split your time and you won't be traveling to another island so you will be okay with the split.
Good luck! If you are going to Hawaii Aulani is the best! IMHO

Gibson L6S guitar wiring
Anyone know much about these solid-body guitars? They have a reputation for being versatile and able to cover a lot of basic sounds.
This series was designed by Bill Lawrence. I've seen schematics and wiring diagrams, and descriptions, on the 'net. They don't really quite agree. The schematics look like the pickups are always run as humbuckers, and the 6-position switch has (not in correct sequence) 1 'bucker, the other bucker, both parallel in-phase, both parallel out of phase, both series in-phase, both series out of phase. And from you-tube clips the out of phase settings do make the harmonics pop like two pickups out of phase. But current Gibson marketing lit says the 4-wire pickups have single-coil settings. Not according to he schematics which show one pickup as 2-wire and the other as 3. Unless they screwed up Bill Lawrence's original design in making the reissue.
There's also some capacitor across one pickup (the bass neck pickup I think) when both are on (series or parallel or both I can't remember). I can only imagine that the intent is to eliminate the way the inductance of the neck pickup can ruin the treble of the bridge pickup.
Also, there's a standard treble-cut that affects the total sound, then there's another tone control that affects the total sound and has a cap and an inductor. Gibson calls it a bass lowpass control, but everyone else calls it a mid-peak bandpass control.
I just bought a near-new reissue L6S on impulse in clear maple; just kind of reactionary to always wanting to try a maple-neck gibson. I wisk it was prettier maple, as this doesn't look like much more than pine, no burl or flame etc. I'm hoping it's been delivered by the time I get home, as I haven't seen it yet. If you really know this guitar's wiring, please share what you know as I'm going nuts with anticipation.

I'm really disappointed, or at least confused. The L6S was the only Gibson I knew of that had ALL the possible wiring combinations of two pickups on that 6-position switch. Now they won't supply a schematic of the wiring for whatever I bought in this 'reissue' L6S. It looks like they got rid of all the out of phase settings in favor of 2 single-coil settings.
There was something theoretically ideal about having ALL the possible single, series, parallel, and relative polarity (phase) settings available. If I wanted additional single-coil settings I would add micro-micro toggles to the pickup mounting rings.
Gibson won't supply a schematic or a wiring diagram for current models. Not even instructions for customers. I'm going to have to take it apart and draw out what the heck they're doing now. I sure wish they'd just stuck to what Bill Lawrence had, what Santana called 'his rainbow' of various sounds. It was probably the first guitar to have standard out of phase settings with both pickups on, and the first to have the choice of pickups in parallel or series. It's a big part of how Santana got so expressive. Now some buffon at Gibson decides that the out of phase sounds are thin... He just doesn't understand the unique special things that they do!
I sure hope this guitar still uses a standard 3-gang rotary switch and I'll just rewire it to the original way Bill Lawrence and God (same) intended. Then I can add switches to each pickup for making the individual coils series or parallel or single-coil.
Truth is that I don't like rotary selectors at all anyway. So I might just get rid of it. Bill Lawrence seems to have resorted to one because mfgrs hate switches that sometimes do nothing. For instance, I think the Jaguar had pre-set knobs and they were not popular. A phase switch only does something when both pickups are on. Same with a series/parallel switch.
Perhaps this is an opportunity for me to work up an alternate pickguard with switches instead. I never did like the rotary, and it's really hard to tell what is selected while in-use.
I do like the 3 pots: volume, standard treble-cut, and a unique "mid" control that had a cap and inductor in series. I sure hope Gibson didn't screw up that in the re-issue also.

Yes, that's the original. It allows all 6 possible ways of wiring 2 pickups. Once upon a time software companies supplied source code, and electronic equipment mfgrs supplied schematics. Gibson doesn't release schematics for new guitars, according to the main customer support hotline.
There are still good things about it. I much prefer a maple neck over mahogany, and I even like a maple fingerboard. I like a single-cutaway. The body is not too thick and not too thin, and lays agianst your body well. I like the pickups. I like the Grover machine heads. the tuneomatic is acceptable. I really like the one volume and the 2 tone controls including the low-mid control. I just don't understand why they made a re-issue and screwed with the wiring. What were they thinking?

A really stable all-maple Gibson is still very cool w/ me. I don't need an arched top or fancy binding or fancy inlays.

I'll say one thing. This came from the factory already setup very nearly perfectly. I believe it was done on a Plek machine. The intonation was perfect, all frets perfect, nut perfect, bridge perfect. It usually takes a few days of screwing around with adjustments to get a new guitar optimized, but this made in the USA Gibson arrived as perfect as my Travis Beans. The Travis is perfect because there's no fingerboard radius and the neck is aluminum so the frets are surfaced perfect and the neck stays perfect until frets wear, and there's a zero fret at the nut so the nut just positions the strings and doesn't deterine their height. The L6-S is different; somebody just took the time to set it up, and I guess the Plek machine does it faster. I was skeptical, but now I'm convinced; it's another instance where automation equals consistency.
If you haven't checked out the Plek machine, you should.

I bought one of these back in the 70's and sold it about 10 years later. I liked the fact that it was an all-maple Gibson, had jumbo frets on a maple fretboard, and had very flexible switching with a wide variety of tones.
The big reason for buying it though was the short string length - shorter even than the normal Gibson scale. It let me play things I couldn't play on the longer scale instruments.
In the end I just couldn't deal with the ceramic magnet based pickups. They had too much harsh screechiness in their tone (now that there's a seriously technical comment - lol).
But quite honestly, I do wish now that I had kept it. It is a unique and useful instrument - and that's hard to say about a lot of other and more popular guitars.

i'm surprised you didn't like the pickups, designed (like the guitar) buy bill Lawrence, and considered the first high-output yet low-inductgance pickups with reasonable highs from Gibson.
I finally got a schematic for the new one from Gibson. I definitely would prefer the original Bill Lawrence 'mid' tone control with an inductor and ALL the pickup wirings. I need the out of phase settings. The new controls are more "pleasant" but have a lot less variety.
I plan to re-wire it completely. I'll probably eliminate the rotary selector entirely, but keep all its functions.

Seattle cellist Virginia Katims dead at 95
For nearly a quarter-century, Virginia Peterson Katims was the first lady of the Seattle music scene: a gifted cellist, a charming hostess...
Seattle Times music critic
For nearly a quarter-century, Virginia Peterson Katims was the first lady of the Seattle music scene: a gifted cellist, a charming hostess, and the devoted wife of the late Seattle Symphony conductor Milton Katims.
Mrs. Katims died of pneumonia Tuesday morning with a secret known to few outside her immediate circle: For most of her adult life, she gave her birth date as Nov. 15, 1922. It was Nov. 15, all right — but the year was really 1912.
Who but Virginia Katims would have had the chutzpah, as well as the beauty, to pull off a hidden decade, unknown to every source from the Department of Motor Vehicles to "The World Who's Who of Women"? Who else could have charmed Arturo Toscanini, Isaac Stern, Claudio Arrau and the entire Budapest String Quartet with her unique combination of musical chops and personal charisma?
Born in San Francisco, Mrs. Katims showed early musical aptitude, first on the piano and then on the cello. In her student days, Mrs. Katims also got a job modeling furs at a store that later became I. Magnin.
Mrs. Katims studied with Sir Ivor James at the Royal College of Music in London, during which time she also met George Bernard Shaw (who later commended her in a note that said he was "pleased to meet an American girl who spoke the King's English"). Later she studied in New York with noted cellists Alfred Wallenstein and Emanuel Feuermann, and her career gradually took off with orchestral concerts, chamber programs and solo recitals.
As soloist with the Bary Ensemble, she toured for 10 years throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Reviewers called Mrs. Katims "a cellist whose sensuous lustrous tone, fluent, secure technique and imaginative sense of beauty brought illumination to everything she played," and praised the "zest and temperamental élan" of her playing.
While living in New York, she met, and soon married, Milton Katims, then a rising young violist and conducting protégé of the legendary Toscanini, with whom the couple became close friends.
The marriage of Milton and Virginia was a true partnership in every sense of the word. Mrs. Katims adored "my Maestro," as she always called him, and was his staunchest supporter in every phase of his career. Whenever there was a new development, a guest-conducting engagement or the appearance of media coverage elsewhere, one of Mrs. Katims' famous purple envelopes would soon arrive at this writer's desk, filled with the news and a chatty note about the Maestro's latest doings.
Music took the couple around the globe — meeting Marc Chagall and Princess Grace at the Menton (France) Festival, hobnobbing with Benny Goodwin and Ravi Shankar, meeting the Shah of Iran in Caracas, and performing in Morocco, Israel, France, England, Lebanon, Finland and Norway. Mrs. Katims, an accomplished writer, sent occasional travel and culture articles to The Seattle Times for publication.
During her husband Milton's 22-year career as music director of the Seattle Symphony — which was followed by three more years as music adviser — Mrs. Katims worked tirelessly to introduce classical music to young people, to promote the Symphony throughout the community, and to raise money to expand the length of the season and introduce new artists to Seattle. She also appeared in concerts benefiting the orchestra and chaired fundraisers at which she brought the likes of designers Emilio Pucci and Hubert de Givenchy to the party.
Mrs. Katims also found the time to raise two children, Peter and Pamela, and serve as volunteer at University Hospital.
In the mid-1970s, after more than 20 years at the helm of the Seattle Symphony, Milton Katims began to encounter opposition from factions who thought he had been there long enough. Bowing to the inevitable, Mr. Katims left the Seattle Symphony and took an appointment as director of the School of Music at the University of Houston, where the couple stayed for eight years before retiring and returning to Seattle.
The Katimses were fixtures on the local concert scene, even in the later years when getting around was more of a challenge, and the couple — true lovers of the art form — invariably came to the concert hall's green room afterward to commend the performers personally. As Mrs. Katims exuberantly put it in the conclusion of "The Pleasure Was Ours," the couple's 2004 memoir: "Oh, yes — music has always been my heart, my mind, my soul, my very life. Make it part of your life, too!!!"
Mrs. Katims is survived by her son, Peter Katims, of Byron Bay, Australia; daughter Pamela Katims Steele, of Seattle and her husband, Patrick; and grandchildren Michelle Simpson, of Seattle, and Bryan Steele, of San Diego.
The family will host a private celebration of Mrs. Katims' life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Katims Fund for Kids, c/o Seattle Symphony; or to the Katims Scholarship at the University of Washington Foundation, University of Washington School of Music.

US Tamil Political Action Council (USTPAC) Accords Cautious Welcome To The UN Human Rights Council Resolution On Sri Lanka
WASHINGTON, March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The United States Tamil Political Action Council (USTPAC) appreciates the efforts made by member states of the UN Human Rights Council to bring about a follow-up resolution on promoting accountability and reconciliation in Sri Lanka. Resolution 22/L.1, the second within the span of one year on Sri Lanka, again led by the United States, was supported by 40 co-sponsors with 25 of 47 states voting in favor of its adoption. The resolution endorses the recently released report of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights emanating from the previous UNHRC resolution 19/L.2, while failing to implement the High Commissioner's most momentous – and repeated – recommendation: that an independent and credible international investigation be established for alleged violations of international human rights and humanitarian law.
"Strong international action on Sri Lanka is well overdue," said USTPAC spokeswoman Dhamy Rajendra. "In the nearly four years since the brutal end of the armed conflict, in which estimates cite over 146,000 Tamil civilians killed, the Sri Lankan government has failed to initiate a single credible investigation or prosecution. Given Sri Lanka's institutionalized and well-entrenched impunity, it is deeply disappointing that Sri Lanka has been given one more year of 'space and time' to investigate itself."
Although the Human Rights Council itself fails to implement the High Commissioner's recommendation to create an international investigation for Sri Lanka through this resolution, its explicit call on Sri Lanka to implement the High Commissioner's recommendations is a significant and welcome departure from its usual aversion of country-specific interventions. This stance is exemplified in the resolution's expressed grave concerns regarding flawed domestic processes put forth by the Sri Lankan government's Lessons Learned and Reconciliation Commission and the National Action Plan for its implementation. In addition, it unambiguously calls on Sri Lanka to conduct provincial council elections in the North by September, 2013 and engage with special UNHRC mandate holders.
"USTPAC, as well as watchdog human rights groups including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and International Crisis Group advocated strongly for the creation of an international Commission of Inquiry during this session. However, given Sri Lanka's appalling track record of failed commissions of inquiry, this resolution, by calling for implementation of recommendations stipulated in the High Commissioner's report, is an ultimatum to the government of Sri Lanka. It is clear that continued refusal to comply with this resolution will not be tolerated by member states and will inevitably lead to the next step of setting up an international commission of inquiry," stated Rajendra.USTPAC expresses Tamil Americans' appreciation to the US government for bringing this resolution. "We also appreciate the widespread support extended by student groups and political parties from Tamil Nadu, and scores of human rights defenders from Sri Lanka. Though we came short this time, USTPAC resolves to advocate for the creation of an international commission of inquiry on Sri Lanka to conduct independent credible investigations for the war crimes, crimes against humanity and alleged genocide committed against tens of thousands of Tamil civilians," concluded Rajendra.

Celebrity chefs are leading to endangered fish being further exploited by including them in recipes, academics who have studied their books say.
Despite being known as a safe bet in the kitchen, Delia Smith was found to be the worst for recipes featuring endangered fish by researchers at York University.
She came below Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson in a list of ten chefs judged on the sustainability of the fish they recommended between 2007 and 2012, The Times reported.
Delia suggested using skate and wild Atlantic salmon, both of which are threatened, said Dr Bryce Stewart, a lecturer at York's environment department.
Domestic Goddess Nigella was criticised because she did not distinguish between endangered and plentiful varieties of the same fish, for example referencing "tuna fillets" without saying people should avoid the Bigeye and Albacore varieties.
"Celebrity chefs have so much influence on consumers but with that influence comes a level of responsibility," Dr Stewart said.
"It is not enough just to mention a fish. They should be directing their readers to the most sustainable version."
The academics compiled the list by ranking the fish recommended by chefs against the Marine Conservation Society's guidelines, and whether they mentioned sustainability anywhere in their books.
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, who led the 'Fish Fight' TV campaign to promote sustainable fishing, came top of the survey.
"I'm delighted if my actions are helping to encourage others to think about these issues and make more informed choices when they buy and cook fish," the River Cottage cook said.
"It's such great food, and so good for us in so many ways. All the more reason to do what we can to ensure we can continue to eat it for generations to come."
Fearnley-Whittingstall was followed at the top of the list by Raymond Blanc, Heston Blumental and Gordon Ramsay.
But Ramsay still came in for criticism for promoting the endangered fish 'orange roughy' as an alternative to salmon, though researchers said his approach to sustainable seafood seemed to have improved in recent years.

First, I'm a Democrat deep in my soul. No matter who runs on the Republican ticket, I'll vote for Barack Obama in 2012. That said, I'm not so happy with the First Lady's Let's Move! campaign. It's not about the fear of the "nanny state," as some conservatives have worried, nor is my issue that I want to keep fruits, vegetables and physical activity away from children. My issue with the First Lady's campaign is its focus on the potential costs of obesity rather than on the fact that everyone ought to have equal access to food and activity, regardless of their current body weight or whether or not they become thin as a result.
On the Let's Move! website, the campaign is described as "dedicated to solving the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams." The goals and strategies of the program, however, would benefit all children—regardless of weight or body size: eating fruits and vegetables, exercising portion control, and participating in a variety of physical activities.
