Happy Birthday Lady Lovelace – Patron Saint of Cyberpunks
Posted By Traveler on 10. Dezember 2012
Today we celebrate the birthday of a truly remarkable Lady (capitalisation intended):
Lady Ada Lovelace was the daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron and the first person to ever write a computer program. Yes, all the old school geeks and nerds out there probably have a moment of blindness right now, but yes, the first computer program ever was written by a woman.
Obviously, Lady Lovelace was acquainted, maybe even friends, with Charles Babbage. The program she wrote was supposed to be used with Babbage's Analytical Engine.
Lady Lovelace is thus not only an icon for Steampunks, since she was on the team with Babbage, but also for Cyberpunks. I would even go so far as to declare:
Ada Lovelace is the Patron Saint of Cyberpunks!
Sadly, it took over a hundred years after she had passed away, far too early at the age of 36, to recognise her contribution to very early programming, i.e. creating this field of scientific research and development. Now we know.
So, happy birthday, Lady Lovelace, you are remembered and a computer programming language is named in your honour.
And for all of my readers, here is a very short synopsis of Ada Lovelace's life and contribution to science:
One Response to "Happy Birthday Lady Lovelace – Patron Saint of Cyberpunks"
[…] Today is Ada Lovelace Day, and it is a celebration of women in science. It is named after the first person ever to write a computer program, as I have mentioned before. […]

5 Tips to Remove Attic Clutter
Ever visited your attic lately? The haven of dust, insulation lint, assorted junk, and a whole lot of family memorabilia. In most cases, attics are virtual graveyards for the broken and forgotten. Much like your garage, it can also be the best real estate for clutter. So why not reclaim space (to add more clutter later on) by organizing your attic.
Get rid of stuff. There's no use holding on to those broken items that are beyond any repair at all. Send them to the recycling center.
Sell your stuff. We can't emphasize this enough. Novelty is very much like vanity in a sense that it sells. Believe it or not that saying one man's garbage is another's fortune is quite true. Find some cheesy memorabilia from some time parallel (like the 70s) and then sell it on eBay. Less junk, more money for you.
Assign family members their own space. People will always be shelving things that don't interest them anymore. But sentimental value trumps practicality. Divide the attic among family members so that each can be responsible for their own clutter. These can simply just be labeled boxes. Doing this can also minimize hassles when it's time to resurrect something.
Use wall hooks or wall pegs. These would be extremely handy for those old tennis rackets, hockey sticks, and fishing poles.
Use shelves. Aimlessly storing items in the most convenient empty space in the attic. Be a pack rat and use some shelves to organize boxes and other items.

Types of Bras Insiders Guide
There are so many different types of bras available today when bra shopping that it is hard to keep track of them all.
From pretty and fashion forward first bras and teen lingerie to luxurious silk bridal bras and bustiers and virtually everything in between, there are various everyday and specialty bra styles and bra sizes to fit every beautiful figure and occasion.
So, without further ado here is a comprehensive guide of today's most popular types of bras.
Adhesive Bra - This unique brassiere is the perfect choice for backless and strapless dresses and tops.
Adhesive bras do not have traditional bra straps or bands and derive their support from two adjustable adhesive cups that mold to the breasts.
Some adhesive styles are attached with a front hook.
Look for styles with a silicone adhesive and follow the directions carefully for a comfortable bra fit.
Backless Bras - This low back brassiere is designed to be worn under low back, backless, strapless, halter dresses and clothing styles with a plunging neckline.
The best backless bra is light weight molded seamless foam cups with a smooth finish, together with a thin inner line of silicone adhesive to prevent any slippage.
Basic styles with a low or backless bra offer the support of a bustier in both form and fit, as most offer a built in push up bra.
Often referred to as a balcony bra, this exotic bra has lightly padded underwire cups and wide set bra straps that are similar to demi cup bras. But, that's where the similarities end.
Balconette bras have smaller bra cups that are far more revealing, making them a great choice for romantic evenings and when you want to impress your audience.
Bridal Bustier - The classic lace and satin bustier is one of the most popular types of bras for today's brides.
An ideal choice for strapless and low cut wedding dresses, bridal bustiers are a form fitted one piece bridal undergarment bodice that extends from the bust to the waist.
The strapless bustier provides enhanced cleavage and gently narrows the waist.
For wedding gowns that are clingy or lightweight, look for bridal bustiers that are absolutely smooth with minimal or hidden seams.
These versatile underwire bras look wonderful under a variety of low cut, square necklines, and outfits. A low cut brassiere, the half cup bra is designed to expose the top, or demi half of the breast while providing a gentle lift to the bustline.
An alluring demi cup bra provides more coverage than a balconette bra or balcony bra, and less breast coverage than classic
full bras.
A major advantage to this brassiere is the ease and comfort of wear, and the absence of a cumbersome back closure which many women dislike.
Look for sports bras with a solid and soft bra band and supportive wider straps.
Full Figured Bras - Full figure bras tend to have fuller bra cups that accommodate and cover more breast tissue than regular brassieres that have shallower cups and offer less coverage.
Goddess bras, Chantelle bras,
Wacoal bras
and Vanity Fair bras are all excellent full figured types of bras.
Half Bra - The half bra, sometimes known as a demi bra offers half the coverage of traditional full bras, while exposing the top part of the breast.
Favored for their seductive look,
half bras
offer a fair bit of support, though obviously not as much as a full bra.
A longline bra is a one piece long brassiere that extends from the breasts to just above the belly button.
Longline bras are designed to slim and shape the midriff for a smooth polished silhouette, and they also offer very good back support.
They are available in both traditional and strapless bra styles.
Minimizer Bra - Minimizer bras are designed specifically for full breasted women who wear a C cup and higher, and who want their bustline to appear smaller.
Specially molded bra cups compress and reshape breast tissue into a reduced and more flattering, smooth look and shape.
Most minimizer bras offer a visible reduction of one to two bra sizes, depending on the brassiere manufacturer.
Preteen Bras - A preteen bra, also called a first bra is a petite bra usually made of cotton with a touch of lycra that caters to smaller sizes and is intended as lingerie for young teens. These types of bras are usually made of stretchy light weight materials and are popular in bright colors and fun designs.
Push Up Bra - Pushup bras are popular cleavage enhancing types of bras that lift and push the breasts together, adding up to a cup size.
Padded push up bras and their fuller bodied cousin the push up bustier are designed with padded molded foam, gel or water inserts that, depending on the push up bra style, the inserts can be removable.
Racerback Bras - A lingerie drawer must have for summer tank tops and sleeveless shirts.
The racerback bra features back bra straps that curve away from the shoulder blades and remain hidden from view.
This brassiere is also a good choice for women with sloped or narrow shoulders and is very comfortable.
Sports Bras - The sports bra is designed for low, medium and high impact exercise and physical activities from tennis and cycling to walking and running, etc.
Though there are several different types of bras, there are two basic styles. Compression bras minimize breast movement by holding the breasts close to the chest.
Encapsulation bras tend to separate the breasts while providing more support.
Look for strapless bra styles with a fine line of silicone or rubber on the inner lining for smooth adhesion and a better bra fit.
If wearing tighter fitting clothing, opt for smooth, seamless
strapless push up bra
styles and fabrics that offer a finished look.
Training Bra - Training bras for young girls are known by a variety of different names including preteen bras, starter bras, bralets and first bras.
These brassieres are designed in very small cup sizes for young girls that you may find in the womens lingerie department.
T Shirt Bras - A t-shirt bra is one of the most popular types of bras available today. It is designed to be virtually invisible under your tight fitting blouses, tops, sweaters, dresses and of course t shirts.
The best bra is a seamless bra that has a stretch or molded cup for a smooth fitted shape and look. A must have for your lingerie drawer.

'Community' - 'Modern Warfare' Recap
'Community' has never strayed away from the absurd when looking for "the funny." This, however, is the first time that they've essentially destroyed the entire set to do so. That we are to believe this was all for a game prize ... well, that actually works.
Over-the-top is what these characters do. From the '28 Days Later' nod with Jeff waking up to a post-apocalyptic campus, to the brilliant directing by Justin Lin ('Fast & Furious') and framing of all the action sequences, there was a true love for the action genre pouring forth onto the screen.
Every staple was covered, from tragic death (Shirley) to the guy who doesn't even know he's done for (Abed). The kamikaze soldier willing to take everyone with him (Chang) to the brave soldier who sacrificed everything to take him down (Britta). Even the final showdown in the dean's office was classic 'Rambo'-style vengeance. All this loss! And for what? And for what!?!
In the midst of all the paintball carnage and chaos, the writers even managed to address the long, awkward, forced sexual tension between Jeff and Britta. Thankfully, they went ahead and rode that pony just to get it out of the way. Abed, who's the most attuned to the fiction of their reality, knows that something has changed ... other than Pierce's choice of underwear.
The beauty of this union was that it wasn't about bringing the characters together, and possibly destroying the show in the process. It was about getting out from under that albatross of sexual tension. Just get it out of the way and put it in the past so these characters can move forward.
The chemistry between Britta and Jeff never came off naturally, so the audience wasn't clamoring for them to wind up together. If anything, we were getting annoyed whenever the issue would come up again. Cleverly, the writers put that in there as well by having the rest of the study group represent us, the audience. They just wanted the two of them to have sex and move on as well.
The tension is there, it was built into the pilot. It's not going to go away until you have sex. By having the sex come as part of this warfare story, it's layered with deception and mistrust, which works even better for the relationship they've established all season.
We now need to find out if Abed is right and things will change, or if the writers will keep trying to force feed us tension. Maybe one final blow-up to establish once and for all that they are just friends. After all, I'm still exploring the sexual tension between Pierce and Shirley. I know he's feeling it.
Like most action movies, there isn't a whole lot more to say about the plot. But, like action movies, it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch it all go down. The seriousness in which the characters took the situation -- nobody cheated and shot someone after they themselves had been eliminated (Come on! ) -- kept us in the hyper-reality established from the moment Jeff woke from his nap.
Classic moments of awesomeness included Abed's run up the wall to take out the old dude, the girls taking down guys while their flies were open at the urinals, Pierce's betrayal of Starburns and his subsequent "death" orchestrated by Jeff telling him not to come over. They even connected the guy bringing back disco and roller skates with a pretty awesome sequence in the cafeteria.
Yes, they were huddled over a fire in the cafeteria as if madness had consumed the world. Embrace the surreality of it, because it makes it so much better when you do. 'Community' is ridiculous but it works. Tonight was an absolutely brilliant example of going crazy without going too far. The characters were true to who they are throughout, and in the end Shirley got the prize Jeff had won. Because he is a decent guy, after all. And that's the moral of every episode.

NCAA basketball: Kansas State is relaxed and loose, but sleepless in SLC
No one can ever accuse the Kansas State Wildcats of not being relaxed and loose the day before the biggest college basketball game of their lives.
Maybe working on only a couple of hours sleep does that to a team.
The day after their epic 101-96 double-overtime win over Xavier in the NCAA Tournament West Region semifinals, the Wildcats participated in an hourlong news conference -- thanks in part to their talkative, intense coach -- at EnergySolutions Arena and said fatigue won't be a factor on Saturday against Butler.
"Not at all because all of us played AAU basketball, you know what I'm saying?" said forward Jamar Samuels. "In AAU, we play at least five or six games in one weekend. So fatigue isn't an issue for us."
Still, the Wildcats admitted to getting little sleep after playing for nearly three hours against Xavier in one of the most memorable NCAA Tournament games ever.
"I didn't sleep at all," said star guard Jacob Pullen, whose two, three-pointers in the second overtime clinched the win for the Wildcats. "I stayed up until like 4 [a.m.]. I was just excited. I laid there staring at the wall. TV was off and everything."
Of the five players on the podium Friday, only Samuels said he got enough sleep.
"I turned my phone on airplane mode last night so I could get some sleep," he said. "I got a good night's rest. Talked to my mom early this morning. I'm feeling pretty well right now."
How loose were the Wildcats on Friday?
Star guard Denis Clemente stepped onto the podium while chatting on his cell phone and eating a sandwich. Thursday's hero, Curtis Kelly, had a hard time suppressing a laugh at some of the things his teammates said.
As for Martin, he expounded on everything from the virtue of hard work to his desire growing up to be like Miami Dolphins great Larry Csonka to the drawbacks of being "sensitive to the times we live in."
The hard-driving coach acknowledged that he, too, got precious little sleep after the historic game.
"We were in the meeting room, watched tape all night," he said. "I chose to go back to my room, [but] laid there in bed, just kind of stared at the ceiling. ...I didn't sleep much. That's where Sunday is right around the corner. I'll sleep a lot on Sunday."

D5100 Focus for Sports
Started Dec 23, 2011 | Discussions thread
Shop cameras & lenses ▾
For this purpose get a good video camera. The relatively small sensor (which is all you need for HD video) gives you wider dof, making focus less critical, and the auto focus will be much better. HDSLR's are not good for sports video. The variable-speed power zoom on video cameras are really useful for sports too.

Why American audiences love British teen showsApr. 5, 2013
Let's end the politicization of black women's hairApr. 3, 2013
It was surprisingly humid for the middle of March.
I am [enter neighborhood here]Mar. 29, 2013
We embrace stereotypes of neighborhoods because they sometimes prove to be true. I live near Wicker Park, a neighborhood known for its nightlife and youth culture. Although this identity is not as strong as it once was (gentrification has a way of changing the identity of a neighborhood multiple times), it is still prevalent in the clothing stores, boutiques, high-end coffee shops, and club-like bars that line Milwaukee Avenue. Once we've seen our stereotypes to be true, we hold on to them. It is easier to rely on what we know than what we don't. Seeing once is believing.
But we often stereotype these neighborhoods because our identities are tied into these environments. I had a friend and coworker who moved to Logan Square not because he wanted to, but because he felt it was the thing he was supposed to do.
"I mean, all of my friends are moving there. Everyone my age, like me, has moved or is moving there," he said while we chatted at a party.
Chicago as a city of neighborhoods can mean a number of different things. This cultural identity can be comforting. People of similar races, ethnicities and classes move to neighborhoods where they can be among their own.
'The Perch' projectMar. 22, 2013
Chicago turns something out of nothing. It is not the city itself that does this, but the people within it, homegrown or recently transplanted. Chicago gives artists and other creatives the opportunity to build from the ground up, allowing them to not only visualize their dreams but to actualize them. Although these artists are often lacking in the traditional market forces (as in a print and money-driven economy influencing who gets the media attention and higher-valued work), the size of the city and the abundant and underutilized spaces allow creatives to build projects with their own visions, usually with little to no financing involved.
This makes Chicago a fertile ground for creative projects such as Matt Austin's The Perch. Part underground dinner party, part printing press, and part collaborative artistic social experiment, The Perch could only be born in a city like Chicago. Austin's funds are considerably low. The project takes place in his own home.
I am not OK: Mental health stigmas in the black communityMar. 15, 2013
I had a friend in school who wrote about her depression, and I berated her online. I didn't understand why she couldn't get over it. In my mind, this was not sickness. And therapy, while good in theory, seemed unnecessary for someone so young, smart, and wealthy living in an affluent suburb. "Why can't she just push through this?" I used to ask. And as she continued to talk about her pain, I continued to feel angry. "This is not a problem," I thought. I told a relative about the girl, and they said she was just acting dramatic. And in all of the things that signaled who was and was not a weak person, "acting dramatic," was one of the worst. There was depression and there was "depression," and I learned to only recognize the latter.
Eventually, I learned my mistake. It was through my own feelings of stress, inadequacy, isolation from teammates, and loss of major friendships that helped me understand her mindset. And as the feelings of hopelessness and sadness sustained, I knew that mental health was not just something for other people.
My original mindset was born from the pursuit of strength over anything else. Adversity was not a bad word; it was something that gave you character.
Diversity in Chicago's dance sceneMar. 7, 2013
Contemporary dance is an underrated art form, even in Chicago, where the breadth of companies and performers is as diverse as the population it seeks to entertain. For many people, dance performances are inaccessible because of stereotypes regarding social class and age. Unlike theater or film or art, the most visually recognizable and misunderstood genre of dance is ballet. This identity, born out of the precision of the movements and its long history as an evening activity of the upper classes, overshadows the multitude of dancers and choreographers creating unique, experimental, and important new works.
'My Mad Fat Diary': The best show you aren't watchingMar. 1, 2013
Based on the book My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary by author Rae Earl, the show My Mad Fat Diary (all of the episodes are available online on Youtube) came at the exact right moment and underscores certain core beliefs that plague me even now, at age 25. To me, this show says something few shows have ever attempted: You are OK.
The show takes place over a brief period of time during the summer of 1996 in Lincolnshire, England and tells the story of 16-year-old Rae Earl. Freshly released from a psychiatric hospital after a four-month stay, Rae tries to gain a footing in the outside world while undergoing treatment for body image issues and depression. It is in Rae's struggles, as well as her everyday interactions, that the show finds its grace.
The sustaining appeal of Smart BarFeb. 22, 2013
I was born five years after Smart Bar. I say this not to elicit shock, but to point out this Chicago establishment's success. Situated underneath the Metro, Smart Bar opened in 1982 and just recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. But to me, Smart Bar will always be a newly minted 21-year-old, all bright-eyed and energetic. It'll always be there for a good time – or a weird time. And even if you, too, are no longer as young as you feel, Smart Bar will welcome you with no judgment. Truly great places always do.
This late-night venue, open until 5 a.m. on the weekends, is an institution. It is important for what it has provided in the past – the bands, the DJ sets – but also for what it continues to provide right now. I didn't think I would ever hear Joy O, one of my favorite young producers, in Chicago. And then he came here, and he played at Smart Bar. Because of course he did.
As a genre, electronic music continues to grow. And while Smart Bar stays focused on its core genres (house, techno, drum & bass), it also acts as an outlet for progressive and experimental sounds, music the venue describes as, "that future-bassy-techy stuff that can't really be classified."

USC drops series to Gators, falls to 1-5 in SEC
Columbia – Ray Tanner still likes this team.
And it's reasonable to expect a program that's won back-to-back national titles won't quit.
However, after dropping a 5-4 loss on Saturday to No. 1 Florida that cost them the series, the eighth-ranked Gamecocks couldn't help but feel the weight of dropping to 1-5 in SEC play.
"Everybody in the locker room is disappointed," said first baseman Christian Walker, who went 0-for-3 with a run scored Saturday. "And they should be."
USC (17-7) didn't lose its seventh game last season until April 16, but the loss of experience and having to rely on youngsters almost led Tanner to frustration after letting a close win get away Saturday.
"I don't feel too good to be honest with you," Tanner said. "We played hard. We've had some spurts where we've been able to be a pretty good club. We haven't been able to put it all together."
Still, the Gamecocks hope they gained some momentum by hanging with the Gators (22-2, 5-1) and nearly rallying for a series win.
After USC erased a 3-0 deficit to tie the game in the fifth, starter-turned-reliever Matt Price (3-2) centered the game in the seventh and already had two outs in the ninth before control became a problem. He issued a walk to Vickash Ramjit on four pitches and had Cody Dent, the ninth hitter in the order, down 0-2 before Dent worked the count full. He reached base when Price plunked him, putting two on with two outs.
Price then hung a pitch over the plate that Nolan Fontana, who went 2-for-5, drilled into the right-center field gap for a two-run triple that broke a 3-3 tie and lifted UF to the win.
"I felt fine with him out there," Tanner said about Price, who helped pitch USC to a 9-3 win Thursday in relief. "You've got to give (Fontana) credit."
Florida's Mike Zunino hit his ninth homer of the season while Austin Maddox (2-0) recorded the win in relief, allowing just one run on one hit through 1.2 innings.
Joey Pankake was the only Gamecock with two hits.
Starter Colby Holmes lasted just three innings after giving up three runs on five hits.
"My stuff was working," Holmes said. "Leaving pitches over the plate was the major issue of the day."
Reliever Tyler Webb pitched 3.2 strong innings of two-hit, no-run baseball while the Gamecock offense worked a rally.
Grayson Greiner and Erik Payne got an RBI each in the fourth to cut the lead to 3-2. The Gamecocks tied the game the next inning when Pankake hit an RBI single to center, scoring the speedy Tanner English from second base.
USC certainly had its chances before and after the Gators took the final lead.
In the bottom of the eighth, USC had Pankake and Walker in scoring position with one out, but pinch-hitter Michael Roth struck out swinging before Greiner got caught looking a third called strike.
"We had a chance to make something happen," Tanner said. "They got a big hit and we failed to get one. They were the better club. All you can do is keep grinding it out."

This entrepreneur has gathered a steady following due to his 6-week money management program outlined in the text. While the tone of the book and Ramit's personality may appeal more to college students and young professionals, many fans, young and old, express the value of his six get-rich steps.
I Will Teach You to Be Rich — In 6 Weeks?
The major facets concerning money are addressed within his 6-week program, including banking, credit, budgeting and ultimately, investing.
Week 1: Credit cards and credit reports
In I Will Teach You to be Rich, Sethi explains how to correctly establish credit cards and assess credit reports to protect your integrity and funds. He also outlines tips on how to recover from a poor credit history.
Week 2: Banking
Week two provides a guide on how to select the best bank accounts. Ramit Sethi guides readers on effective dialogue when negotiating for lower fees and higher fixed deposit rates.
Week 3: Invest in a 401(k)
Ramit encourages those in their 20s to invest now with just $50 to start, rather than waiting ten years, albeit with a larger initial deposit. Overall, long-term investments are the best due to compounding interest.
Week 4: Conscious spending plan
Evaluate your spending habits and expenses, determine a sustainable reduction from your spending plan and "cut costs mercilessly." While this may sound harsh, Sethi recommends spending on things you love and cutting excessive spending on things you don't care much about.
Week 5: Automated money management
Sethi explains how to set up automatic banking services such as direct deposit and automatic bill pay to streamline the budgeting process. This ensures monthly bills get paid and you know exactly how much is left in your spending plan.
Week 6 : Investing
Sethi suggests putting funds into an investment that actually earns more money, rather than reducing existing funds. Included in week 6 is an actionable step-by-step guide getting started.

From Barbranda Walls
Health care reform may not dominate the news to the extent it did in the hot days of August, when tempers boiled over at Town Hall meetings; the balloon boy, the war in Afghanistan, and the mystery of the Northwest pilots have pushed it ever-so-slightly to the background.
But it's a complex topic that remains a major concern among AARP members, as evidenced by interest in the Vegas@50+ session "Don't Roll the Dice: Find Out What's Next in Health Care Reform and What It Means For You."
AARP board member Allen Douma, M.D., and John Rother, head of AARP policy and strategy, were peppered with questions about the public option and how to better understand the complex issue of health care reform. The two men laid out AARP's criteria for an acceptable health care reform bill; how reform will impact members and other Americans; and what's in the five House and Senate bills currently under consideration in Congress — from which one bill in each chamber is expected to emerge this week. If the bills pass on the floor of each chamber, they would then need to be reconciled before going to the President's desk for his signature.
AARP has not endorsed any of the five bills, but Rother said that whatever bill emerges "would be a substantial improvement over the status quo."

Music Matters
13 April 2011 by Lucy
Our press office volunteer Jack is back again, with his musings about collecting popular music…beyond the museum.
Collecting tickets from music concerts is an age old custom amongst many people including myself, in order to preserve the memory of the occasion or simply to say 'I was there'. This in itself is nothing extraordinary. The question, however, is how significant these physical remnants are in relation to the music itself and why we, as music lovers, conserve them. How do we treat these objects, both personally and through our museums? Is it all about the music or are the relative keepsakes just as important? Read more…
Wait a minute Mr Postman…
8 April 2011 by Lucy
The Press Office volunteer Jack Poland has spotted a good story again. Here he tells us more about the child-sized post box that's in our collections:
Fazakerley Cottage Homes were opened in 1889 to accommodate poor and orphaned children, housing up to 584 children at a time. In addition to the 21 cottages where the children lived, there were schools, farm buildings, gardens and a swimming pool. The homes also introduced another unique addition, which, after plans to install it in the Museum of Liverpool were revealed, has roused a fair amount of intrigue.
The object of interest is a child-sized post box which was specially made for the children to post their letters and cards. It was used up until the Homes' closure in 1964 when it was thankfully rescued by a member of the Post Office staff and kindly donated to National Museums Liverpool.
Curator of community history Kay Jones attended the Fazakerley Cottage Homes Association annual re-unions in June 2009 and 2010 to find out more about this intriguing piece of local history. Read more…
Where has my father gone?
21 March 2011 by Lucy
Francesca Aiken, assistant exhibition curator for the Museum of Liverpool's Global City Gallery writes:
"How could it happen? How could I not know about this?" was David Yip's response when he heard for the first time about the enforced repatriation of hundreds of seamen from Liverpool's Chinese community that took place in 1946.
For many of those directly affected, the wives and children of Chinese seamen who worked for the Merchant Navy during the Second World War, the truth about their sudden disappearance wasn't known until decades later – many thought they had been abandoned. Now, 65 years later, more and more are discovering the truth. Read more…

Sea Rigs
21 February 2011 by Stephen
Image Courtesy of Liverpool Daily Post & EchoAs a young news reporter in the 1970s I flew by helicopter to an exploratory gas rig in Morecambe Bay on a facility trip. We were taken on a fascinating tour but what I remember most was how strange we all looked in flight suits and helmets. This was especially true of Ron and Les Clare – twin brothers who were at that time the Liverpool correspondents of the Daily Telegraph and Daily Express respectively. Oil and gas rigs may not be the most beautiful structures on the seas but they have become familiar sights off our coasts. A 1:100 exhibition model of the Sovereign Explorer semi-submersible oil rig at Merseyside Maritime Museum bristles with amazing detail and demonstrates the supreme practicality of these craft. In 1981 shipbuilders Cammell Laird of Birkenhead received an order from Dome Petroleum Ltd of Canada to build this drilling unit for offshore oil exploration. At that time it was the most valuable offshore contract obtained from abroad for a British yard, marking the start of a new era for Laird's. The massive Sovereign Explorer was handed over in June 1983. Standing at 109 metres, she was specially designed to tap the vast resources of oil located beneath the sea bed in the North Sea's British section. Sovereign Explorer was a steel catamaran where two huge hollow barges or pontoons supported a three-deck platform on four columns. She was capable of drilling to a depth of 7,600 m and exploring underwater depths of up to 600 m in severe wind and sea conditions. Another 1: 100 exhibition model depicts the self-lifting offshore accommodation platform AV-1 of 1985, also built at Cammell Laird's, It was built for British Gas for use in the Morecambe Bay Gas Field. This unit had four 88 m legs with a hydraulic jacking system enabling it to operate in tidal waters to a maximum depth of 47.5 m. It had a helicopter landing deck (helideck), storage areas, workshop, cinema and gymnasium. A huge crane could lift up to 150 tonnes over a radius of 50m. A gangway provided access to adjacent gas or oil rigs. Until 1975 most of Britain's oil had to be imported and natural gas came in liquid form on tankers from North Africa. Once natural gas and oil were discovered in the North Sea, a number of fields were developed off North East Scotland and further south. Fields were later developed in Liverpool and Morecambe Bays. Before Britain's resources began to decline, the industry supported more than 300,000 jobs including 4,000 seafarers on various kinds of offshore and support vessels.
A new Maritime Tale by Stephen Guy appears every Saturday in the Liverpool Echo. A paperback – Mersey Maritime Tales (£3.99) – is available from the museum, newsagents and bookshops.

Pitt Street remembered at Waterfront event
5 November 2010 by Lucy
Thirty two members of the St Michael in the City Church Group attended an event at the Maritime Museum this week to mark the close of six months of fact-finding in partnership with the Museum of Liverpool Global City gallery team.
Attending the event were those who grew up around Pitt Street and Cleveland Square, whole streets that were flattened in the May Blitz of World War Two. This area was once a hub of activity for Seamen from all over the world, their families part of a vibrant community that would form the foundations of Liverpool's Chinatown as its known today.

Creating our own Derby Day
25 October 2010 by Lucy
Recently we updated the blog with news of how filming's going for our football immersive experience Kicking and Screaming in the new Museum of Liverpool, and now it's your chance to get involved.
A film about football in Liverpool wouldn't be complete without an insight into 'Derby Day', and soon we will be recreating our very own with the help of reds and blues across the city.
It's true to say that football can unite, but many families across Merseyside are split down the middle, with some members supporting one team, and others pledging allegiance to another. Read more…
Are you red, or are you blue?
12 October 2010 by Lucy
Are you red or are you blue? This is one of the big questions we ask in our football immersive experience Kicking and Screaming in the new Museum of Liverpool. The film celebrates and explores the city's passion for football and takes the visitor on a journey through all the key moments that have shaped it.
For the past few weeks production company Centre Screen have been out and about in Liverpool with museum curators and Creative Director Roy Boulter, filming some of the big scenes. Read more…

Have you gotten your April/May issue of Pointe yet? Click on the photo at right for an exclusive sneak peek. It's an outtake from Jim Lafferty's photo essay, which chronicles Ballet West, Nevada Ballet Theatre and Pacific Northwest Ballet's historic shared production of George Balanchine's Jewels. Lafferty captured the dancers backstage: warming up in company class, soaring in performance. The result is a kind of magical series of intimate images. Keep your eyes peeled for the full feature.

Before you even start the video, you can preview the series of poses with a step-by-step list of pictures (including tips on how to perform each correctly). Best of all?
The days of having to choose between college and a ballet career are over. Not only do many dancers join top troupes after earning a degree (see Pennsylvania Ballet principal Lauren Fadeley, Complexions powerhouse Christina Dooling, ABT's Sarah Smith), but many ballet companies and schools have also teamed up with universities to make it easier for their dancers to earn credits and perform at the same time. The latest is Fort Wayne Ballet, which just announced a new collaboration with the University of Saint Francis.
You're jealous of her extensions. You compete with her for the same roles. You wish you didn't resent her as much as you do, but when she gets that smug look on her face after your director gives her a compliment, you can't help it.
Ever since leaping over to the Bolshoi, David Hallberg has become bigger than ballet. First, it was Stephen Colbert dancing with him for late-night comedy. Now, the fashion world has fallen for Hallberg's compelling mix of classical elegance and peculiar eccentricities. The South Dakota native has played muse to the likes of Annie Leibovitz in Vogue, and he took up a 12-page feature in the latest issue of Carine Roitfield's splashy CR Fashion Book.
When Carrie Lee Riggins joined New York City Ballet at 16, she had no clue how to cook. And living in New York City, she never had to—delivery was just at the other end of a phone call. Jump ahead sixteen years to the present day, and she found herself still lost in the kitchen. So she wrote an email to the Food Network's reality competition show "Worst Cooks in America," featuring restaurateur Bobby Flay.
Have you entered Dance Magazine's Joffrey Ballet School scholarship contest yet? Five dancers won full rides to Joffrey summer intensives through dancemedia.com in January, and ten won in February. This month is your last chance—and with 15 scholarships up for grabs, it's also your best chance!
Ballet dancers are no strangers to aches and pains. Because we know our bodies so well, we sometimes fall into the dangerous habit of self-diagnosing. A new free app, HealthTap, lets us refer our health questions to knowledgeable physicians. Over 32,000 licensed medical professionals weigh in on all sorts of questions to help spread much-needed accurate medical knowledge. Dancers have already started to take advantage of the application, asking questions about bunions, foot spasms and toenail bruising.
How come there are still so few black women in ballet? As Dance Theatre of Harlem makes its comeback this year, many dance fans are looking at the rosters of other major American ballet companies, and wondering why, in 2013, there is still so little diversity. Some say the African American community just isn't interested enough in ballet.
Exciting things are happening down under: To commemorate Royal New Zealand Ballet's 60th anniversary, the company is teaming up with local fashion designer Tamsin Cooper to create a new ballet-inspired fashion line. Cooper's collection, based on "Swan Lake" (which the RNZB will perform in July), will feature tutu-like skirts, jackets, coats and bags—in only black and white, of course. The items will be unveiled next month as part of New Zealand's iD Dunedin Fashion Week.

2012 was a big year for leadership. A host of countries, including France and China elected new leaders, others, like the US, chose more of the same. But, all around the world, leaders were being forced to work a little harder to win votes – unsurprising really, when one considers the parlous state of the global economy.
But, it was not just in the political sphere that leadership was being questioned. Mining leaders, at both a government and a company level were put on the spot. Indeed, one could argue that leadership (or a lack thereof) was at the heart of many of the sector's largest stories in 2012.
The biggest and most tragic story of the year was the unrest on South Africa's gold and platinum mines – unrest that led to the massacre at Marikana and a wave of strikes almost unprecedented in the industry.
While the full extent of the changes wrought in that crucible are yet to be seen, it is certain that the sector has undergone profound change and will have to see much more before it can begin to recover.
The judicial commission of inquiry into the massacre being Chaired by former judge Ian Farlam, has yet to reach a verdict but it has already raised a number of questions about leadership on all sides of the issue.
As Gold Fields CEO, Nick Holland said in conversation with Mineweb, "during those days, the sector looked over the precipice and didn't like at all what it saw."
The next trick will be ensuring that here is sufficient leadership within the sector to ensure the sector need not reach the edge again but, it is going to be a battle that will require not just miners but government and union cooperation as well.
Speaking to Mineweb in November, Gold Fields Chairperson Mamphela Ramphele, explained that now the initial crisis is over the sector needs to get together and deal not only with the short and medium term problems it has highlighted but, more importantly it needs to create a vision of a mining industry in South Africa which is appropriate for the 21st century..
"That's the long-term that we need to be thinking about: How do we take advantage of this enormous endowment that we've got in mineral resources, the biggest that is known and yet we've have missed out on the opportunities that other mining countries have had through the resources boom that has just now ended. And, at the heart of it is that we did not re-engineer our mining processes for the 21st century. We are still using the same old 19th century approaches and so issues of productivity, of safety and of trust within the working environment have to be addressed through a much bold and much more imaginative approaches."
While these macro issues need to be decided upon to ensure that the country gets the most out of its mining endowment, the platinum belt specifically needs a great deal of attention. As was pointed out in these pages earlier this year, there is a fine line between contrarian genius and throwing good money after bad and, at this stage the platinum mines in South Africa remain in a precarious position. The big question for 2013 is going to be how the global economy fares and, what this means for the demand side of the equation as this is likely to be the main driver of prices.
Speaking of poor performances, another of the year's big stories, was the increasing dissatisfaction on the part of both investors and management with the performance of the gold sector globally.
In the face of rising gold prices, investors have become increasingly strident in their demands for better management and higher returns.
These demands grew louder throughout the year, leading eventually to the removal of a number of gold mining CEOs including Newmont's Richard O'Brien, Barrick's Aaron Regent and Kinross's Tye Burt.
And, if recent comments by the investors like Frank Holmes, Evy Hambro and Chris Ecclestone are anything to go by, mine managers are going to have to remain on their toes and start producing better returns to shareholders soon, or the consequences for the sector could be significant.
Indeed, in a note out earlier this week, Ecclestone comments, "While we don't doubt that the heads that have rolled deserved their fate, we do doubt that the chopping should end at the CEO's doorstep."
Some CEOs are beginning to get the message. Holland, in an address to the Melbourne Mining Club was very critical of the current situation and, has put his money where his mouth is, with Gold Fields spinning out its large, old South African assets into a new vehicle called Sibanye Gold.
The move was hailed by a number of analysts as a very good one and as a way to improve the dividend flow for the company.
Other CEOs, like Randgold Resources's Mark Bristow and McEwen Mining's Rob McEwen have also been quick to point out a number of failings within the sector. Of course, it is important to bear in mind that these are firms that are doing rather well at the moment and have every reason to trumpet their successes.
It was not however, only in the gold sector that CEOs' got their marching orders or where management's feet were held to the fire. Anglo American CEO Cynthia Carroll decided this year to call it a day. A decision the company was quick to point out had been all hers but, there was definite and loud unhappiness from some quarters about her performance as well.
Who the group gets to replace Carroll is going to be one of the big stories of 2013, in this writers opinion as the group faces a number of challenges that a new CEO will find just as difficult to unravel.
Press reports have also been circling around BHP Billiton CEO Marius Kloppers but, as yet, nothing has been announced and, BHP remains tight lipped as ever.
Indeed, in this writers opinion, the performance and decisions taken by the large diversified this year with regard to strategic direction are likely to be very revealing.
Mick Davis too is soon to be stepping down as Xstrata's CEO, after the events of what is the final "big" story of the year – the seemingly inevitable offer by the recently listed Glencore for the stake it doesn't own in Xstrata.
While it is yet to be finalised, the deal saw some massive behind the scenes action involving Davis and Glencore CEO, Ivan Glasenberg.
Both Glenstrata's first steps and Davis's next ones are also likely to be events to watch in the coming year.
All in all, if 2012 was about calling leaders to account and seeing what happens when such leadership is absent, 2013 has to be the year where they, hopefully take up the challenge.

ATLANTA, April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CryoLife, Inc., (NYSE: CRY) an implantable biological medical device and tissue processing company, today announced it has been awarded approximately $1.7 million under the Department of Defense (DoD) Appropriations Bill to continue further development of CryoLife's protein hydrogel technology. Preclinical studies of CryoLife's BioFoam(R) Surgical Matrix, a protein hydrogel product under development for organ sealing, are nearing completion. This grant will help fund upcoming clinical studies of BioFoam in the United States.
In December 2008, CryoLife received conditional approval from the FDA to conduct the feasibility phase of the Company's BioFoam IDE submission for liver parenchyma sealing. Before beginning the feasibility study, the Company must receive final approval of the study protocol and related documents from the FDA and an additional approval of the same from the U.S. Department of Defense. The Company is in the final review process with the Department of Defense. The Company also filed a CE Mark submission with its Notified Body in December 2008 for BioFoam's use as an adjunct in the sealing of abdominal parenchymal tissues (liver and spleen) when cessation of bleeding by ligature or other conventional methods is ineffective or impractical. The Company also continues to conduct preclinical research with BioFoam for use in wound sealing in trauma surgery.
"Over the past four fiscal years the DoD has allocated a total of approximately $5.4 million to CryoLife for the development of protein hydrogel products," said Steven G. Anderson, CryoLife president and chief executive officer. "We are excited about advancing this product through the clinical process."

It's good to hear there are others with the same problem. Like NoahsMamaLlama, it usually takes the edge off and keeps me from throwing up but I still feel nauseated all day. How far along are you?
