Abstract: Photoplethysmography (PPG) technology has been used to develop small, wearable, pulse rate sensors. These devices, consisting of infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors, offer a simple, reliable, low-cost means of monitoring the pulse rate noninvasively. Recent advances in optical technology have facilitated the use of high-intensity green LEDs for PPG, increasing the adoption of this measurement technique. In this review, we briefly present the history of PPG and recent developments in wearable pulse rate sensors with green LEDs. The application of wearable pulse rate monitors is discussed.

Applications of Self-Regulated Learning across Diverse Disciplines: A Tribute to Barry J. Zimmerman
Through its research-to-practice focus, this book honors the professional contributions of Professor Barry J. Zimmerman as illustrated by the recent selfregulation applications of a highly respected group of national and international scholars. This book will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in empowering and enabling learners to successfully manage and self-direct their lives,Self-Regulated Learning and Academic Achievement
This volume brings together internationally known researchers representing different theoretical perspectives on students' self-regulation of learning. Diverse theories on how students become self-regulated learners are compared in terms of their conceptual origins, scientific form, research productivity, and pedagogical effectiveness. This is the only comprehensive comparison of diverse classicalSelf-Regulated Learning and Academic Achievement
Theory, Research, and Practice
Springer Series in Cognitive Development / Progress in Cognitive Development Research
Self-regulated learning is a new approach to studying student academic achievement. In contrast to previous ability or environmental formulations that address the why of achievement, self-regulation models focus on how students activate, alter, and sustain their learning practices using a variety of self-related processes. This book brings together a number of internationally known researchersMotivation and Self-Regulated Learning
Theory, Research, and Applications
This volume focuses on the role of motivational processes – such as goals, attributions, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, self-concept, self-esteem, social comparisons, emotions, values, and self-evaluations– in self-regulated learning. It provides theoretical and empirical evidence demonstrating the role of motivation in self-regulated learning, and discusses detailed applications of theHandbook of Self-Regulation of Learning and Performance

Nice stuff. Even though this is just a sketchbook, all your stuff looks really beautiful and polished.
June 5th, 2008 #131Hey man, your stuff is awesome! I was givin it a go on speedpainting too, but you really are mastering the technique. The only critique that I can do, is on the matte painting. It's a great idea, but something looks wrong. It's with that tractor thing, the machine. I think that the borders are to smooth, and the light sort of doesn't match perfectly.
But I love how you merged the two landscapes.
Btw: are you watching some dvds? I would swear that I see some Dylan Cole influence in that picture.
June 6th, 2008 #132thanks. yea i agree, maybe i didnt shapen this machine, cause i added those two later. must check again.
but about dvd`s....yes iv watched probably all gnomons, but it was like 4years ago. so there might be some influeces, but not much.

Katie Holmes' Fashion Week Debut: What Do You Think of the Looks?
On Wednesday, Katie Holmes took the final step in her emancipation from Tom Cruise. She debuted her Spring 2013 line Holmes & Yang at New York Fashion Week. Though the label was launched in 2009, and select items have been available for purchase, the presentation marked the first time Holmes and her partner, Jeanne Yang, showcased their collection at the industry's biannual event. To put it bluntly: it was a big deal for Katie. It's a new industry, a new group of critics and a new career where Katie finally gets to call the shots. So did she make the right calls? Here's a peak at her new collection.

At some point in your life, you have to step up and take responsibility for your actions. People like you make it harder and harder for someone to do that because they know they always have someone on their side to tell them it wasn't their fault

I am training multiple SVMs in my R application, and I would like my function to return a holder object to which I can easily access each one of them later in a function.
The SVM is created as this:
svm.model <- svm(x=trainset,y=trainlabels)
svm.pred <- predict(svm.model,testset)
res <- table(pred = svm.pred, true = testlabels)
I want to be able to return the table called "res", or both svm.model and svm.pred. Any will do.
In a Object Oriented language I would use something like Javas ArrayList to do this, but a regular list(which was suggested in many posts) didn't do its job. I was not able to put any of these values, and if I made it, they got "unwrapped" and lost its structure.
Update Good point in the comment section about how exactly I tried to do this with a list. I did the following:
for i in...
result[i+1] <-svm.pred
I have tried the same as above, but with "res"(a table).
Another approach I tried was to create a new list with the previous list each time: result<-list(result,svm.model,svm.pred)
It gives me only a length 3 size list(I see why) and the two last values are "lists" instead of what they are in fact, hence it doesn't allow me to call "table(pred = svm.pred, true = testlabels) " as it returns an error:
"Error in sort.list(y) : 'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list' Have you called 'sort' on a list?"

@ hideandski
I watched the Australian Broadcasting Corp news on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of Jume 2009, whereby they aired the interview with the leader of the "Mothers of TienAnMen", Madam DENG who openly critised the CPC for "...Killing its own average citizens...", and '"...that the CPC Govt is not fit to be among civilised nations.." and that "those responsible for the maasacre should answer for it..."
the fact that the Chinese govt gave official permission for the interview and allowed it to be broadcast on international TV News , without any censorship is a testimony to great progress for press freedom
China is moving in the right direction for press freedom---although a bit too slow for some
BUT the Chinese govt has the habit of "GRADUALISM" especialy in economics policy
@ hikeandski
All my America friends is good. If you say you are jerks and you is a American, first you should pay back $4,000 dollar , then should say bad mouths on Chinese.
@ canndyman: "Besides, [it's the Economy stupid]. China's asset holding in America, as of 1st Q, 2009, includes $760 b in U.S. Treasury Notes and $489 b in Institutional Bonds (CFR report by Brad Setser and Arpana Pandey).
That's $1,249 b in total which works out to be the equivalent of cash loan of about $4,000 of evil Chinese money for each and every one of 310 million Americans to help sustaining their high living standards on the cheap, just about the whole year's GDP worth of an average poor Chinese each."
Let us face it. The article is essentially well written considering that the Chinese government doe NOT allow any freedom or the press or of speech. THAT is the overwhelming example of the facts that China is NOT comparable to any other country (except North KOrea or Cuba). All the drivel written comparing China with the USA is just that. DRIVEL! The USA is the greatest democracy AND economy in the world. WHY? FREEDOM! (of speech, economic decisions, etc) Jerks supporting China just do not get it! They may be able to type English, BUT THEY DO NOT GET IT. China has foundered for thousands of years; the USA is less than 250 years old. Perhaps in another 1000 years China may learn???
Liberal-minded Chinese newspaper? Wow, there is such a thing in C-h-i-n-a? :)
Wonderfully investigated piece, especially so with the mentioning of several press and their articles, but mentioning of 1989 seems to be linking the two totally unrelated events intentionally.
After seeing people's remarks of your words, it is difficult not to think that you are a liar.
Chinese sites delete your comments fast? I gather you are living in China and don't know about: Wenxuecity, the biggest overseas Chinese website? Post there and give me a link. I don't know which of your posts I've seen so far will be banned in China. Give me a Chinese translation of any of your post and I will post it on a site like Sina or NetEase and show you the link.
About education, several of my Phd friends happened to be from rural/small town China, one of whom's home in Sichuan was destroyed last year and his family still living in a shack.
In China, there always exists the explosion of freedom. we,as Chinese, think freedom as priority, as well as conservative as our think patterns. I regard the incident in 1989 as movement of expression of freedom and also as the participation of Chinese control. however, it was passed for 20 years. the sruggle for freedom never ends.
To Yamaka (June 7, 2009)
I lived in China and Hong Kong for 20 years. I also lived and worked in
the so-called West - in the UK, America and Germany for more than 25 years.
I wonder where you are from ?!
Your "background" information on the Chinese lamenting their government
is nothing new, I am afraid. It is a comonplace today for people in China or
outside China to criticise their government. Do you lament your government
or a government you have faith in at all? Who is it?
Are you a war-monger?
Apart from your wishful thinking that there be a civil war in China,
your view that China will break into a geography which coincides
with the one of 1937!!
"A decade ago, the annual income of a civil servant is about ¥300 in my home town, but now it's more than ¥2000"
sorry,writing mistakes again~>_<~...that's monthly income
"Are you speaking about that level of injustice,wealth disparity and corruption that your connationals are desperatly seek to reach?
Are you kidding? If I remember right, the annual in-come of working-class people in America have remained almost stagnant for the last few decades, while most of the country's increased wealth went to the very few people at the top(75% wealth increase to 1%of population?I can't be sure about the data, maybe you can do some search yourself, it will be just as shocking). But on the contrary, the majority of Chinese people have seen their living standards increasing greatly. Tough wealth disparity still exist on a large scale, average civilians have been significantly richer than decades ago. (A decade ago, the annual income of a civil servant is about ¥300 in my home town, but now it's more than ¥2000; 10years ago, few families I know have a computer, but now every student in my class has a laptop). Anyway, as is revealed in the survey of Newsweek last year, Chinese people ranks first( or second? Not quite sure, but much much higher than the USA) in their satisfaction towards the current situation in China, and is confident that their country in heading in the right direction. As for problems of social inequality and injustice, maybe you can find some American friends to talk about it.
As to matters of "Free Press", why don't you read some Noam Chomsky, and Al Gore's book The Assault on Reason, and perhaps the documentary series Zeitgeist, before arguing here with me?
By the way, I name so many American examples only because I major in English, and knows American better than any other foreign countries, through the many TV series, movies, books, news broadcasts, documentaries and magazines I have watched or read.
As for whether the Tibetan people are happy here in China, maybe you should come and ask them by yourself. By" them" I mean the descendentsof the former serfs who make up 95% of the Tibetan population, and suffered brutal treatment from the privileged nobles and monks. I have friends of ethnic minorities in school, though some did show concerns that their unique culture has been overwhelmed to some extent by the Han culture( This trend is kind of inevitable, considering the fifty-five ethnic minorities groups in China together takes up less than 10% of the entire population) on the whole they are satisfied with the progress this country has made, notably the improvement of their living standards, the opportunity to go to school, and the privileges they as minority groups receive in the University entrance exam. They are proud to be a Chinese just like me. Some are even very eager to join the CCP.
To all Liars:
I am from China, born in a poor family from the rural areas, i worked very hard and i got the offer from a famous university in Guangdong Province, China.
I had got the loan from the governemt with the help of the university, and i had got scholarship from the university. Also i got tuition assistance from the central government. That's how i finished my university life.
Many university students like me also got help from the uvierisity or governmtnt.
Tell you what, don't you ever blam the Chinese goverment as you know nothing true about it.
If you don't konw the truth, then stop buzzing the rumour everywhere.
l am afraid l have to point out here that the Yang Jia case is very different from the Deng Yujiao case, they shouldn't even be brought up in the same passage. Yang Jia has not win any extraordinary symphathy among the ordinary people in China.
As a chinese I don't trust my hometown court.There are a great things between the court and the goverment .
Now the news about the DengYuJiao are deleted .
Can the internetal court deal with the case?
What can I do? Nothing except waiting for the result.
Please help the innocent DengYuJiao .
If you look at the history of Britain over the centuries, it was not uncommon to see a violent/illegal response to injustice put down most severely - but then the underlying problem was intelligently dealt with by the powers that be. I would not be surprised to see China deal with things in the same way.
If the transparent truth can damage the 'Communist Party's image' then it has no image worthy of protecting. When are people around the world going to stop making excuses for such a dinosaur and admit the Chinese people deserve better? Totally free access to the internet, for one thing. Support for those such as Ms Deng, for another.
How much longer should citizens of this world put up with governments which do not represent, but rather suppress them? I'll tell you. As long as they allow it. Most particularly within themselves. Like it or not, lamentable governments across this planet but a mirror of their collective populace, just as backward.
True change begins within each and every one of us.
With the recent anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen incident juxtaposed with the current situation of Ms Deng Yujiao proves to be a symbolic statement about the current situation of China's provincial bureaucrats. We will see how the level of corruption affects China in the future, check out the Asia Chronicle (www.asiachroniclenews.com)for other related news.
@ Martin
About the financial aids ...it seems you don't have any evidence or any data to support your claim, but only make the conclusion by your prejudgment of your textbook knowledge about the 'corruption in china'. If you really know the situation of China, you should know it is an odd and can be a big news if someone get the admission from a university but can not afford the tuition and the university refuses to offer financial aid. Just be reasonable, there is indeed corruption in the universities. But what you are accusing is a complete failure of financial aids system due to the corruption, no matter you believe or not, that's not the case. I bet anyone with the real experience with China knows that, even Bidor could not deny this unless he lies again (by the way, FYI, Bidor said Chinese universities offer no financial aids, which is obviously a lie). Chinese universities so far are still working. Also, last time I check the corruption rank made by the so called transparency international still ranks China better than the democratic India and Mexico. Since British people seems only have book knowledge about China, maybe they can have some real sense about the situation by using India and Mexico as reference.
OF course you are right I don't have proof, its all conjecture and not based on a textbook or even fact. Because no one has been caught or it does not exist. All I know is bribery does exist in Chinese universities with regard to admissions and test scores. Secondly, the analogy with financial aid is the same with getting a loan from the bank.
IF they can pay bribe the loan officer in a bank its possible that they can bribe the financial aid officer.

"American is a developed country of only 300million people, look where democracy has got them? Finish watching the American TV series Boston Legal, you'll see many of the problems that are allegedly caused by lack of democracy, such as injustice, wealth disparity and corruption are also prevalent in America."
Are you speaking about that level of injustice,wealth disparity and corruption that your connationals are desperatly seek to reach? (you still have 30 years to get there).
Are you speaking about that country that is the only model yours is following? (actually I have the impression that China's target is to "became" the USA).
Look my friend, nobody hate China here, nor Chinese peolpe (being them urban or rural). China is a wonderful conutry, with wonderful peolpe, in a wonderful moment of his history with a quite good government.
But what do you guys wants us to believe or say, that Tibetan peolpe are so happy to be redeemed by Chinese peolpe or other Chinese-friendly staff like this?
You know that it will never happen.
@ Bidor
CHINA' MASTER-PLAN for URBANIZATION
The Chinese Govt used "SHENZHEN" as an experiment in urbanization
The BBC had an hour-long program that had Western experts praising "SHENZHEN" as a very successful experiment whereby a lot has been learnt
An English expert gushed "China has got it exactly right this time" (SHENZHEN)
China used the "HUKOU" system to make sure that it would NOT be caught unaware of mass-migration inter-city wise or "rural-urban" and end up with cities exploding with slums and unable to provide public amentities like food, sanitary, water, etc
China is drawing up a "URBANIZATION" master-plan for the whole nation
The CPC has given every farmer family its own plot of land
This is their "safety-net"
The farm "surplus-labour" goes to the cities as "migrant-workers" to earn extra income for the family
Last week CCTV News showed Premier WEN visiting a Beijing schol for children of migrant workers in Beijing. PM WEN praised migrant workers for their important contributions towards China's industralisation, and instruct Cityhalls to provide education schools for their children
By the way, I have looked up the last time the Economist removed my post, and here it is again (at the risk of being banned from future posting because I am obviously stirring up hatred):
[I thoroughly disagree with bidor's characterisation of the chinese as
"incredibly backward in terms of understanding financial and economic
Please make a distinction between the government and the people. The
government is a dictatorship run mostly by navel-gazing ideologues quaking
with fear at the sight of grannies doing breathing exercises in Tiananmen
square while the provinces and cities are run by thugs who beat the hell out
of everybody who dares question their monopoly on power, construction codes
for schools in earthquake zones, and business opportunities.
The chinese people have never stopped working hard, saving up and educating
their children for a useful life (as opposed to the brain-washing by western
banks and government that the way to a better life is threefold: BEG from
government, STEAL from taxpayers and BORROW from future generations). The
chinese people have succeeded in the last three decades in boot-strapping
themselves from poverty into a scare-the-hell-out-of-you dynamic economy,
despite the bumbling central planners whose only saving grace was to
dismantle the barriers to private enterprise.
Look at the successful chinese diaspora in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore,
Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and in western countries. They have not
succeeded based on beg-steal-borrow, nor blamed America for their sufferings.
They just gritted their teeth and got on with the back-breaking job of making
a better tomorrow for themselves.]
I admire the bravery of a people fighting so hard to find freedom, especially the Tiananmen students. And the best thing is they don't go around blaming America or the West and launch suicide bombing campaigns against innocents while doing it. I wish them every success in overthrowing corruption and tyranny.
Bidor, I may agree with the accuracy of your analysis of the Chinese mentality (June 6, 2009 13:48), but I don't endorse your arguments in favour of a collectivist government such as "I am in favor of real socialism, something like western Europe, where you have the free market supplemented by some reasonable social welfare.."
Socialism is beg-steal-borrow (my favourite hate theme) and saps the traditional chinese strength of character. It usurps and corrupts the meaning of the words "love, equality, fairness, justice".
Equality, fairness and justice have meaning when they apply to opportunities, not outcomes. Love should come from charities appealing to our civic sense of responsibility, not when they are muttered by politicians and tax collectors backed with police and military force or thugs.
'I wish you well, even though you called me a liar out of ignorance.'
Just prove you are not a liar. What you said are still there. let me remind you some of your words:
1. you said the majority of overseas Chinese students are from the rich family and privileged.
2. you said 90% of overseas Chinese students not return to China
3. you said Chinese universities not offering any financial aids.
I also wish you good, even if I think you are a liar, and you are with a typical red-guard or feng-qin way of thinking.

I have been wearing out the search function looking for a picture that I saw a couple of days ago...having no luck. Was wondering if any of you can help.
The picture that I'm looking for was a shot of a lifted, white, regular cab truck. I know, not very specific, but what may help is that whoever posted the picture said that it was his girlfriend's truck.
Anybody know??

I chatted to their sales guy and got some answers about the FC.
The flight control is their own development; It uses I2C escs; cortex M3 processor; supports acro/autolevel modes. If priced correctly could be a cheap starting point into proper 32bit platform. It might even come with a case/box. |

A selection of this vineyards finest barrels, the 2003 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard Cuvee Agustina, is the estates top Chardonnay. It was aged in 88% new oak, and possesses superb fruit and ripeness, medium to full body, and notes of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, pineapple, and mango. (12/ 2005)
A rich, opulent, hedonistic pleasure with layers of fig, apricot, hazelnut and apple, this is potent yet elegantly styled, unfolding to reveal extra facets of citrus, melon and light toasty oak. The flavors gain intensity on the finish, lingering on and on. (11/ 2005)
(a barrel selection intended to showcase the opulence and structure of fruit from this vineyard, according to Matt Hobbs; this spent several months longer in barrel than the other 2003 chardonnays here, and got 80% new oak) Pale yellow. Aromas of peach, nectarine and honey, with notes of vanillin oak and minerals. Sweet, dense and lush, showing more vanillin oak and soil-driven minerality today than fruit. Finishes firm-edged and persistent. Like the basic bottling from this vineyard, this chardonnay needs some aging. 91(+?) points (5/ 2005)

Truman, American Jews, and the Origins of the Arab/Israeli Conflict
"A probing look at one of the most incendiary subjects of our time--the relationship between the United States and Israel. There has been more than half a century of raging conflict between Jews and Arabs--a violent, costly struggle that has had catastrophic repercussions in a critical region of the world. In Genesis, John B. Judis argues that, while Israelis and Palestinians must shoulder much of the blame, the United States has been the principal power outside the region since the end of World War II and as such must account for its repeated failed efforts to resolve this enduring strife. The fatal flaw in American policy, Judis shows, can be traced back to the Truman years. What happened between 1945 and 1949 sealed the fate of the Middle East for the remainder of the century. As a result, understanding that period holds the key to explaining almost everything that follows--right down to George W. Bush's unsuccessful and ill-conceived effort to win peace through holding elections among the Palestinians, and Barack Obama's failed attempt to bring both parties to the negotiating table. A provocative narrative history animated by a strong analytical and moral perspective, and peopled by colorful and outsized personalities, Genesis offers a fresh look at these critical postwar years, arguing that if we can understand how this stalemate originated, we will be better positioned to help end it"--

ECB says banks to repay €3.48b in ultra-cheap loans
Under emergency liquidity measures, the central bank gave banks the option of repaying any part of the money after just one year
Under emergency liquidity measures, known as long-term refinancing operations or LTROs, made available to banks in December 2011, the ECB gave banks the option of repaying any part of the money after just one year.
Already this week 278 banks repaid €137.16 billion of the LTROs.
The LTROs — with a total volume of just over €1.0 trillion — were launched in two batches, in December 2011 and February 2012.
At the time, they were widely credited with pulling Europe back from the brink of a dangerous credit crunch.
Both rounds of LTRO included provisions to allow early repayment after one year, if banks so chose, with the first repayment window opening on January 30, and the second on February 27.
After that, repayments can continue on a weekly basis, depending on demand.
Some experts believe the magnitude of the repayments is a sign of the improved health of the financial markets as it suggests banks are enjoying better access to funding.

Five contenders with little depth
Syracuse, UConn among teams with lack of roster depth heading into 2014-15
Some coaches are comfortable with a lean rotation in which every player knows his role, and the minutes that he is expected to play is consistent every night. If things are going well, the team is winning and there are no injuries, it makes for a happy team with great chemistry. But that lack of depth often means that a season can be fragile. One or two injuries or a midseason transfer can crush a team's NCAA hopes.
Here are five teams in the Top 25 that are contenders for their respective conference championships but have taken major hits to their talent and depth levels this past season. They will need new players to emerge and be a little lucky, as well, to stay healthy.
Syracuse Orange
Jim Boeheim loses Tyler Ennis, C.J. Fair, Jerami Grant and Baye-Moussa Keita to the NBA draft and to graduation, and even there is still enough talent on the roster to make a run at the ACC title, there are more questions than answers for Syracuse this coming season. That is unusual.
It's likely that freshman Kaleb Joseph will man the point guard position. It will be hard for him to top Ennis' freshman season, but he certainly has the opportunity and the tools to be one of the league's best freshmen next season. Junior sharpshooter Trevor Cooney, who cooled off as last season unfolded, needs to shoot the ball with more consistency and find other ways to contribute. Michael Gbinije, the Duke transfer, will see time at both guard spots.
Up front, Orange fans are still waiting for Rakeem Christmas -- who was a Philadelphia high school basketball prodigy -- to become a dominant player. At worst, he should be a double-figure rebounder this coming season in the middle of the 2-3 zone. Six-foot-10 freshman Chris McCullough brings the size, athleticism and energy to be very effective on both ends of the court for Boeheim. If junior big man DaJuan Coleman is recovered from injuries that sidelined him last season and is in condition, he should help as well.

Aaron Temkin Beck (born July 18, 1921) is an American psychiatrist and a professor emeritus in the department of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania.[1][2] He is regarded as the father of cognitive therapy,[1][2] and his pioneering theories are widely used in the treatment of clinical depression. Beck also developed self-report measures of depression and anxiety including Beck Depression Inventory (BDI),[3] Beck Hopelessness Scale,[4] Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Youth Inventories.[5] Beck is noted for his research in psychotherapy, psychopathology, suicide, and psychometrics, which led to his creation of cognitive therapy and the BDI, one of the most widely used instruments for measuring depression severity. Beck collaborated with Maria Kovacs, PhD, in the development of the Children's Depression Inventory, which used the BDI as a model.[6][7] Beck's work at the University of Pennsylvania inspired Martin Seligman to refine his own cognitive techniques and exercises, and later work on learned helplessness.[8] Beck is the President Emeritus of the non-profit Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy[9] and the Honorary President of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy,[10] which certifies qualified cognitive therapists.
Beck was born in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, the youngest child of four siblings to Russian Jewish immigrants. Beck was married in 1950 to the Honorable Phyllis W. Beck, who was the first woman judge on the appellate court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.[11] They have four adult children, Roy, Judy, Dan, and Alice.[12] Beck's daughter, Judith S. Beck, Ph.D., is a prominent cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) educator and clinician, who wrote the basic text in the field. She is President of the non-profit Beck Institute.[13]
Beck attended Brown University, graduating magna cum laude in 1942.[14] At Brown he was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, was an associate editor of The Brown Daily Herald, and received the Francis Wayland Scholarship, William Gaston Prize for Excellence in Oratory, and Philo Sherman Bennett Essay Award.[12] Beck attended Yale Medical School, graduating with an M.D. in 1946.
Beck has received honorary degrees from Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, Assumption College, and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.[12][15][16]
Beck served as assistant chief of neuropsychiatry at Valley Forge Army Hospital in the United States Military following graduation from medical school.[1] Following his residencies and fellowship, he became an instructor at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in 1954.[1]
Beck is the founder and President Emeritus of the non-profit Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research, and the director of the Psychopathology Research Unit (PRU), which is the parent organization of the Center for the Treatment and Prevention of Suicide.[17] In 1986, he was a visiting scientist at Oxford University.[1] He has been professor emeritus at Penn since 1992,[17] and an adjunct professor at both Temple University and University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.[1]
Beck developed cognitive therapy in the early 1960s as a psychiatrist at Penn. He had previously studied and practiced psychoanalysis. As a researcher and scientist, Beck designed and performed experiments to test psychoanalytic concepts of depression. Fully expecting research would validate these fundamental precepts, he was surprised to find the opposite. This research led him to begin to look for other ways of conceptualizing depression. Working with depressed patients, he found that they experienced streams of negative thoughts that seemed to pop up spontaneously. He termed these cognitions "automatic thoughts," and discovered that their content fell into three categories: negative ideas about themselves, the world, and the future. Limited time spent reflecting on automatic thoughts would lead patients to treat them as valid.[18]
Beck began helping patients identify and evaluate these thoughts and found that by doing so, patients were able to think more realistically, which led them to feel better emotionally and behave more functionally.[18] He discovered key ideas in CBT, explaining that different disorders were associated with different types of distorted thinking.[18] Distorted thinking has a negative effect on our behaviour no matter what type of disorder, he found.[18] Beck explained that successful interventions will educate a person to understand and become aware of their distorted thinking, and how to challenge its effects.[18] He discovered that frequent negative automatic thoughts reveal a person's core beliefs. He explained that core beliefs are formed over lifelong experiences; we "feel" these beliefs to be true.[18]
Since that time, Beck and his colleagues worldwide have researched the efficacy of this form of psychotherapy in treating a wide variety of disorders including depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, drug abuse, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and many medical conditions with psychological components. Cognitive therapy has also been applied with success to individuals with anxiety disorders, schizophrenia,[19] and many other medical and psychiatric disorders. Some of Beck's most recent work has focused on cognitive therapy for schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and for patients who are repeat suicide attempters.
Beck has published more than 600 professional journal articles, and authored or co-authored 25 books.[17] He has been named one of the "Americans in history who shaped the face of American Psychiatry," and one of the "five most influential psychotherapists of all time"[20] by The American Psychologist in July 1989.
Beck is the Honorary President of the non-profit Academy of Cognitive Therapy, an organization of more than 500 cognitive therapists, worldwide. As part of its mission, the Academy supports continuing education and research in cognitive therapy, provides a valuable resource in cognitive therapy for professionals and the public at large, and actively works toward the identification and certification of clinicians skilled in cognitive therapy. Among his activities, Beck is involved in research studies at Penn, and conducts biweekly Case Conferences at Beck Institute for area psychiatric residents, graduate students, and mental health professionals.[21] He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2007.[22]
The American Psychoanalytic Institute rejected Beck's membership application, "on the grounds that his mere desire to conduct scientific studies signaled that he'd been improperly analyzed", a decision that still makes him angry.[23]
In recent years, cognitive therapy has been disseminated outside academic settings, including throughout the United Kingdom, and in a program developed by Beck and the City of Philadelphia.[24]

Joint Digital Preequalization for Spectrally Efficient Super Nyquist-WDM Signal
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 31, Issue 20, pp. 3237-3242 (2013)
Acrobat PDF (672 KB)
We propose a joint digital preequalization scheme for a Nyquist wavelength division multiplexing (N-WDM) system to compensate for the intersymbol interference caused by a limited channel bandwidth or aggressive prefiltering. A digital raised-cosine pulse filter is implemented before the reference-based preequalization scheme to enhance the tolerance of the signal to the crosstalk from adjacent channels. The experiment illustrates eight-channel digital–analog-converter generation of the polarization division multiplexing quadrature phase shift keying system at 112 Gb/s per channel on a 25-GHz grid, adopting the reference-based digital preequalization considering narrow-band optical filtering effect at the transmitter. The experimental results show that the proposed preequalization scheme allows for an ultradense channel spacing of 0.89 times of the baud rate in the super N-WDM system with a as large as 5-dB optical signal-to-noise ratio improvement.

Can you take antibiotics with Citalopram? & Other questions.
Plus, it's my birthday in about a week and I don't want it then. I know they use antibiotics to treat UTIs but can you have them with Citalopram? Also, I had a foot problem (fungal infection in my big toes) so I went to the Doctor who booked me in with a specialist in January. Now, I was too scared to go and so didn't turn up. I never rang like I should or anything, but it's really painful to walk a lot of the time and it needs clearing up. If I tell her about it she'll wonder why I never went to the speicalist because it's quite rude to just not turn up. I don't want her to think i'm rude, how do I tell her? Lastly, I think I lost two months of my pill, and i'm on the last lineup. If I tell her I lost them she might shout at me and think i'm irresponsible. How am I supposed to tell her that? God, i'm such an idiot

I think for your discussion with your doc you should be honest about the SA influence on your decisions, that will make him/her a bit more receptive rather than upset. You'll have to ask about the med conflict as well, maybe write it all down first

I want someone who shares my interests but isn't clingy or full of drama. I've tried online dating, but everybody lies. It's been a waste of time.
