Like many, you probably have a New Year's Resolution that involves losing weight. No matter how much weight you are looking to lose over the coming year, there is a simple and effective way to lose those unwanted pounds: drinking more water. Studies show that dieters who drank at least 2 cups of water before a meal lost 5 pounds more than a group of dieters who did not increase their water intake.
What should you take away from this study? Drinking water can help you achieve your New Year's Resolution for 2013. Along with eating healthier, drinking healthier is effective in losing unwanted pounds and getting more fit. Increasing your water intake is not hard with a portable water bottle. These reusable water bottles are safer for the environment than plastic bottled water, which lacks regulations and pollutes our nations landfills and waterways. By using reusable water bottles, you are losing weight and helping to protect the environment.

Most sunscreens offer little to no protection against UVA rays. That SPF number you see on the bottle only tells you the UVB protection factor. While UVB rays are responsible for sunburn, UVA rays penetrate to the deeper layers of skin, and is a major factor in premature aging and skin cancer. Clearly, protection from UVA rays is a serious factor to consider when purchasing sunscreen.
2009 European Union regulations require that a sunscreen's UVA protection comprise one third of the product's total SPF rating. For example, if the UVA protection is SPF 5 and the UVB protection is SPF 30, the overall SPF allowed to be displayed on the product is 15, despite the fact that the UVB protection is actually much higher. While the FDA is reportedly working on a UVA rating system, currently in the US there is no UVA requirement.
UVA rays penetrate deeply into the lower layers of the skin. Because these rays go beyond the top of layer of skin, they can cause DNA damage and increase risk of skin cancer. UVB rays affect the surface of the skin and cause sunburn. While sunburn is unhealthy, UVB rays also trigger the production of Vitamin D, but proper sun protection is required to reap the benefits without the health risks. Learn more about UV radiation.
The safest and most effective type of sun protection is mineral sunscreen. Minerals, like zinc oxide, form a physical barrier on the skin to reflect both types of UV rays, and prohibit UVA rays from penetrating the skin. Though the FDA has approved many chemical sunscreen ingredients safe for use, zinc oxide is by far the best sunscreen ingredient that provides both UVA and UVB protection. Titanium dioxide is less effective against UVA. And don't be convinced by the term "Broad Spectrum Protection" on a product's label, as most chemical sunscreens making this claim do not protect against UVA rays. In fact, only 2 other chemical compounds provide extensive protection against UVA rays, as seen in the chart on the right.
In the case of SPF, more is not necessarily better. An SPF of at least 15 is advised for most, but this does not mean an SPF 30 will provide you with double the protection. As stated by the EPA in their sunscreen publication, "When properly used, an SPF of 15 protects the skin from 93 percent of UVB radiation, and an SPF 30 sunscreen provides 97 percent protection." SPF 60 provides slightly better than 98% protection from UVB radiation.
Purchasing a safe and effective sunscreen is only half the battle. Proper application is a must for adequate sun protection. Just because an SPF of 30 indicates 300 minutes (5 hours) of protection before skin burns, repeated application is still necessary. The EPA advises: 1 ounce, or a shot glass full, of sunscreen, applied every two hours, or more if you are swimming or perspiring. Be sure not to forget lips, ears, feet, hands, bald spots and the back of neck. The amount of time in the sun your sunscreen offers also depends on your skin type.
More informative product labels definitely benefit consumers in making educated choices. Lavera's line of sunscreens now meet European regulations for UVA protection, offering the best all natural protection against damage from sun exposure. Lavera uses a blend of coated titanium dioxide and coated zinc oxide in their sunscreeens for maximum protection, without the harmful ingredients of chemical sunscreens.

Hs 117 Schmetterling (Butterfly) Missile
Display Status:
This object is on display in the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA.
Collection Item Summary:
Of all the experimental German antiaircraft missiles of World War II, the Schmetterling (Butterfly) came closest to deployment. It originated in 1941, when Henschel's talented missile designer, Herbert Wagner, proposed several antiaircraft projects. However, the Air Ministry did not authorize the missile's development until 1943. Mass production was ordered in December 1944, with deployment to begin in March 1945--an unrealistic timetable typical of Germany's desperation programs late in the war.
Two solid-fuel Schmidding rocket units, missing from this Hs 117, served as boosters. An operator using a telescopic sight and joystick guided the missile by radio control. The U.S. Army Ordnance Museum transferred this Schmetterling to the Smithsonian in 1988.
Collection Item Long Description:
Of all the experimental German anti-aircraft missiles of World War II, the Hs 117 Schmetterling (Butterfly) came closest to deployment. The Schmetterling had its origin in 1941, when Herbert Wagner, Henschel's talented missile designer, proposed a number of anti-aircraft projects, but the Air Ministry did not authorize its development until 1943. Mass production was ordered in December 1944, with deployment to begin in March 1945, but the plans were quite unrealistic, as was typical of the desperation programs of the last year of the Third Reich.
The Hs 117 was fueled by a combination of nitric acid and Tonka, a mixed hydrocarbon fuel, and was boosted by two solid-fuel Schmidding rocket units that are missing from this artifact. Guidance was by radio-control from an operator with a telescopic sight and joy-stick. The Museum's artifact was acquired from the U.S. Army Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen, Maryland, in 1988.
The missile is aircraft-shaped with sweptback wings and cruciform tail, and has an asymmetrical nose with warhead extension on one side and a shorter extension on the other with a wind-driven generator propeller. The missile does not have regular control surfaces, but instead uses spoilers known as "Wagner bars" on the trailing edges of the wings and tailplane.
Originally designated the Henschel Hs 297, the Schmetterling was first proposed in 1941 but not approved by the German Air Ministry until 1943. Beginning in May 1944, 59 experimental launchings were made at Karlshagen, near Peenemuende. The Hs 117 normally used the BMW 109-558 rocket motor of 375 kg (825 lbs.) thrust for 33 seconds which fell to 60 kg (132 lbs.) over the last 24 seconds. The propellants were R-Stoff or Tonka, a mixed hydrocarbon fuel, and nitric acid. The propellants were fed into the combustion chamber by gaseous pressure and were hypergolic, or self-igniting. The two Schmidding 109-553 solid-fuel boosters weighed 170 kg (374 lb.) total, and produced 1,750 kg (3,850 lbs.) thrust each for four seconds.
There were several variants, including the the Hs 117H, the only known air-launched version. Designed for use from the Do 217, Ju 188, and Ju 388 aircraft, the Hs 117H had a truncated top tailfin and no boosters. Twenty-one flight tests were conducted from a Do 217, with only 15 being satisfactory. Development of the Hs 117-H ended in February, 1945. A standard Revi reflector sight was to be used for sighting the missile, while guidance was accomplished with conventional radio-link and line-of-sight by the pilot of the carrier plane. There were plans to install a homing device and proximity fuse in the missile, but this never materialized and detonations were normally activated by a radio signal. The Hs 117-H was designed to attack an enemy aircraft up to 5,000 m (16,400 ft) above the carrier aircraft.
The Museum's artifact is missing the boosters and the promixity fuse cone (the latter has been simulated with a wood replica made in December 2000). It appears to be an Hs 117 C, or the Hs 117 A-1, the production version, based on the exterior configuration and dimensions. Nothing is known about where or when in 1945 the U.S. Army captured this particular missile.

|Main Index

Horace Lamb's father, John Lamb (born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire about 1813) was the foreman of a cotton mill who had become well known for his improvements to spinning machines. His mother was Elizabeth Lamb (born Hayfield, Derbyshire about 1817). John Lamb died when Horace was young and after his mother remarried, Horace went to live with Mrs Holland who was his mother's sister. She was kindly lady but nevertheless brought Horace up in a severe Puritan manner.
Horace was educated at the Grammar School in Stockport. In 1866, when Horace was only 17, he won a scholarship to read classics at Queen's College, Cambridge but declined the scholarship to spend a year studying at Owens College, Manchester.
It was at Owens College that Lamb's interests turned firmly towards mathematics so that, when he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, the following year it was to study mathematics. Lamb was taught by Stokes and Maxwell at Cambridge and graduated as Second Wrangler in 1872 (meaning that he was second in the ranked list of those students awarded a First Class degree). The same year he was awarded a Smith's Prize and he was elected a Fellow and Lecturer at Trinity College.
In 1875 he married Elizabeth Foot, who came from Dublin, and they had three sons and four daughters. In the same year he was appointed to the chair of mathematics at Adelaide, Australia, where he remained for 10 years. Adelaide was extremely fortunate in their choice of Lamb as their first professor of mathematics and he rapidly built the reputation of the mathematics department there. His own reputation as a teacher at Adelaide was very high and he was described as a wonderful teacher who gave very clear, very lucid lectures.
Lamb left Australia in 1885, accepting a chair at Victoria University in England (now the University of Manchester). In [5] his influence on the mathematics department at Manchester is described:-
Under him it grew rapidly. His lecture courses were numerous, and his books provide a record of his methods. Many of his students were engineers, and they found in him a sympathetic guide, one who understood their difficulties and shared their interest in applications of mathematics to mechanics.Describing his own teaching at the celebrations for his eightieth birthday, Lamb said:-
I did try to make things clear, first to myself (an important point) and then to my students, and somehow to make these dry bones live.Lamb held the chair at Manchester until 1920 when, at the age of 70, he retired and moved to Cambridge. An honorary lectureship, the Rayleigh lectureship, was specially created for him and he continued his research.
Lamb wrote important texts and made important contributions to applied mathematics, in particular to acoustics and fluid dynamics, for example Mathematical Theory of the Motion of Fluids (1878). His book Hydrodynamics (1895) was for many years the standard work on the subject. In his address to the British Association in 1904 he explained his reasons for writing these books:-
It is ... essential that from time to time someone should come forward to sort out and arrange the accumulated material, rejecting what has proved unimportant, and welding the rest into a connected system.Lamb's texts had a major role on teaching in British universities for many years.
Other topics he worked on include wave propagation, electrical induction, earthquakes, aeronautics, and the theory of tides. He wrote important papers on the oscillations of a viscous spheroid, the vibrations of elastic spheres, waves in elastic solids, electric waves and the absorption of light. In a famous paper in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society he showed how Rayleigh's results on the vibrations of thin plates fitted with the general equations of the theory. Another paper reported on his study of the propagation of waves on the surface of an elastic solid where he tried to understand the way that earthquake tremors are transmitted around the surface of the Earth. His view of science is explained in [3]:-
The primary aim of science in Lamb's view was to explore the facts of nature, to ascertain their mutual relations, and to arrange them so far as is possible in a consistent and intelligible way. ... The mathematician's task, to his mind, had an aesthetic character. He took delight in the comparison of a well-ordered piece of algebraic analysis with a musical composition, and bemoaned the passing of the scientific memoir, which in the hands of a Lagrange or a Poisson had a completeness and austerity of a great work of art.Lamb wrote books in addition to those mentioned above, including Infinitesimal Calculus (1897), Dynamical Theory of Sound (1910), and Higher Mechanics (1920). Love, writing in [6], describes his writing:-
His writings call up before one the picture of an extremely acute and wonderful alert mind, endowed with a profound knowledge of the facts of physics, especially on its dynamical side, keenly interested in the work of others, particularly when it had a bearing on any matter of mechanics or wave transmission, equipped with an exceptionally varied and powerful mathematical technique, and ever on the look-out for topics on which his analysis could be employed for the promotion of natural knowledge.Elected to the Royal Society in 1884, he was a member of the Council of the Society and twice its Vice-President. He received the Royal Medal from the Royal Society in 1902 and in 1923 was further honoured with the award of its Copley Medal. An extremely strong supporter of the London Mathematical Society, he served that Society as President in 1902-04 and received its De Morgan Medal in 1911.
He was honoured with memberships of many mathematical societies in Europe including the Reale Accademia dei Lincei, and received the highest award of his country when he was knighted in 1931. He received honorary doctorates from seven universities.

Five tips for faster, data-informed decision making
Three universities share their best practices
By Georgia Mariani, SAS Global Industry Marketing Manager for Education
Have you ever been in a meeting that begins with people sharing thoughts and ideas but turns into a quagmire of conflict? Everyone thinks their information is correct, and time is spent discussing who or which report is right instead of understanding the issues and identifying a course of action. Before you know, the hour is up and nothing has been decided.
Without a single trusted source of truth and easy-to-use tools for interpreting and understanding data, this is an all too common scenario. With data spread across dozens of departments, schools and campuses, universities have been dealing with the problem of disjointed information and difficult decision making for a long time.
Advice from educational experts on data-informed decision making
Data visualization reveals patterns that you wouldn't see using business intelligence tools.
Tuesdi Helbig
Director of Institutional Research
Western Kentucky University
#1. Create a centralized enterprise reporting system
"Enterprise reporting systems give you a single source of the truth," says Tuesdi Helbig, director of Institutional Research at Western Kentucky University (WKU). "They integrate data from systems across the enterprise and validate and reconcile data from different sources."
As an example, Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio, deployed an enterprise reporting system that helped them move from decentralized to centralized reporting for everything from enrollment and academic affairs to compliance.
"We deployed a federated data warehouse to capture data from about 20 to 25 years and over time layered SAS Business Intelligence and SAS Visual Analytics on top of it to surface information for our users," says Karl Konsdorf, Sinclair's acting director of Research, Analytics and Reporting. He says that is key to helping people answer complex "why" questions like why student are dropping out and not just the "what" questions such as how many dropped out last year.
He adds, "Centralizing the data from disparate sources into one reporting platform allows us to use data as a strategic asset, so it is not just the byproduct of operational transactions."
#2. Clean and validate your data
This is a point emphasized by all successful organizations. "If you do not have good, clean data, the credibility of your system will be in doubt and it will not be used," says Helbig. She says at Western Kentucky Univeristy they have spent "inordinate amounts of time" cleaning data so sound data-informed decisions can be made.
Konsdorf agrees. "People need to have trust in in the data that they are consuming – that the data they are looking at and analyzing is correct. Otherwise they won't use it." Data validation is very fundamental to the success of any analytic or data visualization endeavor.
#3. Go beyond business intelligence with data visualization
All of these educational experts have taken their institutions beyond reporting and business intelligence by implementing data visualization software. They agree everyone wants to interact with data independently, explore it quickly and understand it faster by visualizing patterns and trends.
"Data visualization tools reveal patterns that you wouldn't see if you were using business intelligence tools," says Helbig. "These tools make it faster and easier to dig into tons of data and get meaningful results. You don't even have to know all the questions to ask…simply seeing the data visually generates questions you didn't know to ask." She said SAS Visual Analytics helps users at Western Kentucky University see things they might have missed. "They can explore trends further by digging into the data to understand why things happened."
WKU also uses analytics and data visualization software to support institutional research and reporting. With data at their fingertips, leaders are now able to ask more complex questions. It's no longer how many students we have. It's more about how to make these students more successful. What are the stumbling blocks for these students, and how can the university alleviate those?
#4. Meet a wide range of reporting needs
Sinclair Community College uses SAS to surface reports and visualizations that are easily consumable by users. With a focus on student success initiatives, analytics are used to identify at-risk students and the interventions they need to get back on track. To increase course completion rates and ensure students earn labor-market value credentials, analytics are used to target completion rates and classroom efficiency.
Sinclair's Konsdorf says building trust is important, but you must provide real information decision makers can act on. In addition to making sure data is of high quality, it must be presented in an easily consumable format. He says, "We don't want just charts and graphs. We want something that's meaningful, that's targeted, and that an individual chair or faculty can connect with. We want them to connect with the data, just like they would with a student. We make sure the visualizations we present are relatable and actionable."
#5. Create a culture of data use
Finally, it is important to cultivate a culture that embraces data-informed decision making. Securing executive leadership is important, as is empowering people with self-service reporting. Konsdorf says SAS Visual Analytics has opened up analytics to a whole new set of business users at Sinclair Community College. "They can now take care of most needs themselves because it's so easy to use and renders data so quickly."
Top executives like the president and provost require vital information at their fingertips to make data-informed decisions. The University of Connecticut (UConn) offers a dashboard that includes data from student and faculty information systems. And they plan to add human resource, finance and accounting data, as well as data from a research information system, to create a more powerful and complete visual portal.
In this video, Sivakumar Jaganathan, executive director of UConn's data warehouse and business analytics efforts explains how giving leaders instant information to answer questions makes everyone look good.
"Executives love it when they are sitting at say, a Board of Regents meeting, and can easily pull up evidence-based justification for funding. For instance, they can show that additional resources are required to meet the needs of rapidly growing departments. The analytics bolster their negotiating power," said Jaganathan.

Animals have rights too!
November 4, 2010
Last month, Suffolk County became a leader in animal abuse protection. Suffolk County legislators passed a law calling for the nation's first animal abuse registry. The law requires those convicted of abusing animals to register their name, address, and a photograph with the registry. Sensitive to the concerns about the cost of maintaining such a registry, the legislation also required that each offender must pay an annual fee of $50 for the five years they are required to register with the database. Additionally, the database will not be run by Suffolk County, but by the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. If a convicted abuser fails to register, they will face either jail time or a significant fine of $1,000.
The registration of convicted criminals is nothing new. Megan's Laws, designed to assure the authorities and public of the whereabouts of convicted sex offenders, have been in effect for years. The animal abuse registry is designed to have a similar effect. The list of abusers will be open to the public, so that pet owners and neighbors may know who, within their community, is potentially a threat to their companion animals.
The motivation for the law's passage is really two fold. First, Suffolk County has been home to a number of horrid animal abuse cases within the past year. Most notably, a Selden woman who tortured, killed and buried kittens, cats, and dogs in her backyard made national headlines as her heinous acts were finally halted after her children reported her to the authorities. The second motivation for the bill's passage, was articulated best by the registry's champion, Suffolk County legislator Jon Cooper. Cooper told reporters, "[w]e know there is a very strong correlation between animal abuse and domestic violence… Almost every serial killer starts out by torturing animals." Cooper observations have long been known to those working within the field of animal abuse and domestic violence.
A New Jersey study found that 88% of families with children that had experienced physical abuse, also recorded incidents of animal abuse within the home. Also, it is estimated that 88% of pets living in households with domestic abuse are either abused or killed. The link between animal abuse and serial killers is also very real. Studies have showcased that the vast majority of convicted serial murders have had a history of animal abuse. This list includes people such as the Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the Boston Strangler Albert DeSalvo.
The idea for the registry was nothing new. In fact, the registry has been or is currently being considered in a number of states and counties, including California, Minnesota and New York State. The registry is the brainchild of Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), an organization dedicated to protecting the lives and advancing the interests of animals through the legal system. ALDF's hope is that, as with the proliferation of Megan's Law a decade ago, Suffolk County's passage of the animal abuse registry will translate into the passage of similar laws throughout the nation.

Really heartwarming article about Batch.
His has been the uncertain life for so long that after 15 years Charlie Batch simply accepts it. Week after week he practices with the Pittsburgh Steelers, preparing to play quarterback, even though he knows the chance is likely to never come and he will spend the game wearing a cap, carrying a clipboard and celebrating somebody else's touchdowns.
Then he walks back to the locker room, sees the coach a happy man with a congratulatory hand extended and he never knows quite what to say.
Great job? For what? Wearing a cap and carrying a clipboard?
Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are still in control of a wild-card spot after Sunday's victory. (AP)
So on Sunday night, Charlie Batch wept. He turned away from the last-second field goal that gave the Steelers a 23-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, fell into the arms of injured Ben Roethlisberger and sobbed. He cried for the win. He cried for the chance. And he cried because he knows it will go away. But mostly he cried because he didn't want last week to be the final memory the NFL had of Charlie Batch.
You see, last week, he got to start a game. It was his first since the end of last season and it came in Cleveland, a place where the Steelers are expected to dominate. It was a game they needed to win. Instead they had eight turnovers. And even though those miscues weren't all his fault, they felt like they were.
"I was the one in charge of our eight turnovers, I took them personally," he said Sunday night as he stood in an empty Steelers locker room at M&T Bank Stadium.
Batch wasn't sure he would get another chance. Roethlisberger has injuries to his ribs and shoulder, and missed the Steelers' previous two games before Sunday. But Big Ben wanted to play in Baltimore, given the way Pittsburgh's season had fallen apart and the playoffs growing more unlikely. All week Roethlisberger worked to throw, pushing and pushing to play. Finally on Friday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told Batch that Roethlisberger wouldn't play.
Batch would have his last opportunity for redemption.
Sunday's victory was not a beautiful thing. Steelers-Ravens games never are. There were fights. There were cheap hits. Players shouted at each other. Tomlin seemed to stalk away from Baltimore coach John Harbaugh after the end-of-game handshake. And Batch was equally as imperfect. He was intercepted once. Another time he threw a pass over the head of a wide-open Mike Wallace in the end zone. He missed several other chances to push the Steelers downfield. Through much of the first half it looked as if the Ravens might blow out the Steelers.
Only they never did. And that says everything about the Steelers, Tomlin and Batch.
There is a resilience to Pittsburgh that is unique. In a league where wins often come because of sheer willpower, the Steelers manufacture victories when they seem most unlikely. Old stars have gone. Current ones like Roethlisberger and Troy Polamalu are worn down by years of the fight. On Sunday, the Steelers not only didn't have Roethlisberger, they maneuvered wide receivers around and juggled running backs hoping to find some dream formula. Somehow they found one.
"We persevered," Tomlin kept saying after the game.
Later, when asked about his defense that forced two turnovers, he said: "I appreciate the fact they didn't let go of the rope."
But Charlie Batch won this game for Pittsburgh. He won it the way Roethlisberger has won so many in the past: moving methodically, creating splendor from chaos. There was 6:14 left in the game when the Steelers got the ball on their own 15-yard line in a game tied, 20-20. They never gave it back.
"You put your heart and soul into it," he later said. "You try to leave everything out on the field."
Charlie Batch, sharing a word with Ben Roethlisberger, went 25 of 36 for 276 yards, a TD and an INT. (Getty Images)
Yes, he wept when kicker Shaun Suisham's field goal rose into the foggy night and dropped through the goalposts. What else could he do?
Last Monday he sat for hours at the Steelers' practice facility watching the tape of the eight-turnover game and a sick feeling grew in his stomach. All those days practicing for games he would never play and this is what he did with the one Pittsburgh desperately needed? How that memory of Cleveland burned inside.
"You want to prove that last week was a fluke," he said.
Next week he probably won't play. By the weekend, Roethlisberger's ribs and shoulders will be healed and Batch will practice but not play. He's started only nine games since the Lions released him in 2001. In 2002, 2004 and 2008 he didn't get in one game, not even for one pass. No statistical line exists for him in those seasons. It's like he was never there.
The Steelers knew. Players have come to trust him as a leader, as a reason to fight. He's been their union representative, a player-coach, someone who has been around long enough to have an answer for every situation that could possibly arise.
[Related: Week 13 winners and losers]
And also, it seems, a way to win the game they absolutely needed.
So Sunday night, with the victory complete and the playoffs a reality again in this 7-5 season, Batch was one of the last Steelers to walk into the tunnel beneath the stadium. There outside the locker room stood Tomlin with a smile on his face and his hand outstretched just as he had all those wins when Batch never played.
"Good to see you got a trick or two left in you!" Tomlin shouted.
And for once Charlie Batch could smile back and say: "Yes."

Book Review: THE STORYTELLING ANIMAL
As both a nonfiction author and a bestselling novelist, I've pondered certain puzzles for decades.
Why do people find certain ideologies and philosophies appealing, but not others? Why do we so often hold to our points of view dogmatically, intractable to all facts, reason, and logic? What is the source of dreams? Why do certain common myths seem to be indelible and universal, across cultures and throughout history? Why does music conjure in us mental imagery? What is the key to the kind of motivational commitment that impels some people to face and triumph over incredible odds and obstacles? Why do we find certain people, at first glance, overpoweringly attractive, and others repulsive? Why do we love some books and movies, and hate others?
These and many other mysteries of the human mind and personality are central to the concerns of the artist, psychologist, historian, or person plying any field of communication or persuasion. But is there anything that links together all of these apparently disparate things?
In his brilliant and engrossing The Storytelling Animal, Jonathan Gottschall reveals the central, essential, and seminal role played by story -- or "Narrative," as I've called it -- in human thought, action, and culture. Moving with seemingly effortless creative ease from riveting personal anecdotes to abstract sociological theories, from baffling historical phenomena to intriguing psychological experiments, Gottschall offers a key to understanding much that has baffled man throughout the ages.
For decades, I had believed that philosophical ideas and ideologies reigned paramount in the culture. But over time, events and experience began to collide with that assumption. I began to wonder, for example, why people holding the same ideas, nominally, could live so differently -- and why some philosophies seemed to have more cultural traction and durability than others. I was introduced to the extraordinary power of stories when reading the works of mythologist Joseph Campbell. Aspiring to write fiction, I also became fascinated by how timeless, transcultural myths found their way into fiction and film. Building upon Campbell, "script doctor" Christopher Vogler even uses mythological archetypes to help craft hugely popular movies, and -- in his book The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers -- to school authors in the craft of fiction-writing. (Let me add that I employed some of these concepts in writing HUNTER; the novel's success is at least in part a testament to their validity and usefulness.) While conducting research on a nonfiction book project about the roots of the contemporary environmentalist movement, I also came to realize how certain ancient, mythic storylines served as the basis for modern ideologies and major religions. (Gottschall himself demonstrates this latter truth with his sobering account of the career of Adolph Hitler, who was inspired and guided decisively by the heroic operatic dramas of composer Richard Wagner.)
The Storytelling Animal touches upon all of this, and much, much more, drawing the kinds of interdisciplinary and personal connections that most of us would never make in a hundred years. Yet even so, I think Gottschall has barely scratched the surface of the far-flung implications of narratives and stories in our lives. To take just one example, I believe our current president has understood intuitively, and for years, the power of crafting a compelling "personal narrative" in order to launch and propel his political career to wildly improbable success -- and how he relied on crafting a similar "morality play" about himself and his opponents in order to win re-election in 2012. But that is just one of the important implications to be drawn from this extraordinary work.
Let me add that Gottschall himself is a wonderful writer and storyteller. A book that could have been an imposing intellectual chore and bore never flags for a moment in holding the reader and keeping him turning pages. So as not to distract or interrupt his own narrative, he sequesters a formidable array of endnotes and a vast, impressive bibliography unobtrusively, after the text.
I love books like this -- books that upend my previous understanding, books that augment my grasp of the world, books that draw breathtakingly unexpected links among apparently unrelated things. For all these reasons, I can't recommend The Storytelling Animal strongly enough. A joy to read and ponder, it's the most intellectually fertile nonfiction work I've read in years.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts announced its nominations for this year's Film Awards in London Tuesday, with the help of "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe.
Topping the list of nominees: French silent romance "The Artist," nominated for 12 awards, and taut British thriller "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," nominated for 11.
Those much-lauded films hardly dominated the list of movies with BAFTA nods, though, with U.S. and British movies big and small rounding out the major categories' nominations.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Along with "The Artist" and "Tinker Tailor," the other films nominated for Best Film were "The Descendants," "The Help" and "Drive."
"Artist" star Jean Dujardin and "Tinker Tailor" star Gary Oldman compete with Brad Pitt ("Moneyball"), George Clooney ("The Descendants") and Michael Fassbender ("Shame") for the Best Actor award.
And for Best Actress, Michelle Williams was nominated for her turn as Marilyn Monroe in "My Week with Marilyn," as were Viola Davis for her work in "The Help," Tilda Swinton for "We Need to Talk about Kevin," Berenice Bejo for "The Artist" and, of course, Meryl Streep for her portrayal of fomer British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady."
In the run-up to the Oscars, the BAFTAs are regarded as a good indicator of how films will fare in the Academy stateside.
They also serve, according to The Associated Press, as a strong platform for launching the international prospects of relatively small British films, like last year's "The King's Speech" and 2010's "Slumdog Millionaire."
"My Week with Marilyn" and "We Need to Talk about Kevin" are two such low-budget British movies with multiple nods in this year's BAFTA nods.
Read the full list of BAFTA nominations here.

Much as it seems car-related, motor racing is all about the money. Sometimes this makes even the best racing series completely miss their mark.
One fantastic idea that turned into a failure was Group 5 endurance racing of the 1970s. Le Mans and the world championship were filled with production-derived racecars with cutting-edge technology and massive horsepower. Porsche ended up dominating the whole series so completely that no one bothered showing up anymore. In spite of the awesome cars, attendance for Le Mans and other races on the calendar were the lowest ever, a minute fraction of their 1960s glory years. The money was going away, and the whole series was scrapped after just a few years.
What other racing series was a great idea, but was killed by dominating manufacturers, an unloving public, or backroom politics?

Hello Kamel,
I will start with your correction. It will be very nice, if others could also correct it because I perhaps made also some mistakes.
Perhaps it has been my parents who first inspired my thirst for knowledge. An electrical engineer and an author, they have never ceased to emphasize the value of a good education to their three children.
I was born into a multicultural and well-travelled family. The constant travelling was due to my father's demanding occupation. As a result, I have come in contact with different nationalities. Till the age of 13, I had lived in more countries than I could remember. Fortunately we, as a family, had had enough time to understand their cultures. I began to understand that people are equal no matter of their racial background.
I have learned to speak several languages. These include English, Norwegian and Somali, which I can speak fluently. I also know the basics of French and am an intermediate speaker in Swedish and Arabic.

JimDrew wrote:The data coming out of the drive is spooled into the file. So, whatever transitions that are occurring on the RDData line for THE DRIVE BEING USED, are what is placed into the file. Some drives do not allow for more than 1ms of flux transitions, while others allow for much longer transitions. It's all drive dependent. I am still waiting for my Turrican to arrive from the U.K.
JimDrew wrote:Ok, many of your questions are already answered in our support forum... but I will address them here too.
Download the manual! Administrator mode is required for installation. Information about every single option is included in the manual.
I am not sure why you are getting asked to update your firmware, but v0.93 is the latest version. So, if you have only v0.92 installed then that would definitely be why! v0.93 corrects the problem with the hanging on non-blind copies that you saw with it hanging on track 69.
The limitation on bit cell size is 65535 (which is multiplied by 25) to get the actual flux transition time in Nano seconds. So, it is possible to have up to 65535 * 25ns (1638375ns) represented in a single cell.
There is currently no way to specify the number of revolutions to dump. Blind mode dumps a single revolution (which is all that should be needed for most Atari ST disks). Blind mode off dumps 2 revolutions (was 3 with v0.92 and that caused some OS issue when files were >32MB in size - I am looking into that). I will be adding a way to specify number of revolutions in the future.
Note: all orders placed from today one will have pin 5 removed from the 34 pin socket to make it work with newer cables. I also have a bunch of floppy drive cables compatible with SuperCard Pro along with 3.5" power cables. I will be putting these online shortly.
Yes, you can write immediately with SuperCard Pro. You can copy disk to disk or you can make a disk image and write the image back to disk.
JimDrew wrote:The auto-update function needs your permission to update, which is why it asks you. It wasn't until recently that I even had v0.92 by itself. Before then we were on v0.70 which would auto-update directly to v0.92 (and now v0.93). The auto-update feature is very convenient. No need to go to our website or forum area to download anything, it happens automatically. I guess I could make an option where it doesn't ask you and just does the update.
When my Turrican arrives, I will look at how to extend the bit cell times from the maximum of 1.638375ms to some higher value. I do have a timer wrap interrupt that should be queuing when the bit cell time exceeds 0xFFFF. That must not be working, and I have never cared before because I have never seen any disks this way.
I believe I have fixed the checksum issue now that was causing some image files (multiple revolutions) to not show any data.
You can see the raw MFM data, which is much more important that the converted data that you are use to seeing because it shows you the real flux data as it is decoded to MFM, which does not necessarily match a straight conversion to WD1772 decoded data. I see many cases (actually most cases) where there is an extra flux transition after the SYNC (4489 = A1) and the header, before the next SYNC. I am not sure if this is a bug in the WD1772 or if this is the result of the writing being turned off and back on. I know that most disk formatting routines wrote entire tracks out and sectors are written individually after finding the header. The write splice that occurs there would be something that I would expect, and apparently the sync detection in the data separator ignores any invalid flux up to where the sync begins.
I don't think you need multiple revolutions for fuzzy bits. I am pretty sure the WD1772 uses a window comparator for each of the 3 specific windows. Any values too far outside of these windows would have to be invalid. Can you get raw MFM out of the WD1772 controller? If so, were there any MFM editing utilities for the ST? For the Amiga, I used my MFM/GCR editor, which is somewhat like my analyzer is now. I could read/write tracks directly on the Amiga, alter data, etc... all at the MFM or GCR level, not decoded. If there is the ability to view MFM on the ST, then perhaps some test tracks can be made to check just how out the data can be and still have the WD1772 read it.
You can fill flux values and write those with the SCP analyzer. By the way, I am finishing up the SDK for the SCP hardware. Since you already have the .scp image file format integrated into your program, you could read/write real disks using the SCP hardware pretty easily. You have to open the driver (I have C examples), and send it packets to turn on the motor, and step the head. The flux read routine gives you the same data that you are using in the file (raw data + the 5 seperate entries). So, it would be simple enough for you to add this support.

Hawks Nest Beach necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 89 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Hawk's Nest Beach resort has been family owned since 1895. Guests have been returning for many, many years. The resort has seen children grow up year after year. The resort is laid back, family friendly and aware of it's natural environment (important). To this day the Garvin family continues manging the resort. The resort is not just a company, it's part of their history.
The primary target is for those visiting the website. The person responsible for making travel plans (moms usually). We are trying to target new visitors to the website. The website will be undergoing a re-design shortly. We want the website to look fresh, welcoming to to new visitors, and easy to navigate. It should also make a "mom" feel like this is the place she would want to take her kids (family).
The logo needs to say:
Hawk's Nest Beach
A Family Resort
Since 1895
The old logo is attached (cottages). The new logo does not necessarily need to include these cottages, but it should include a type of cottage (we hoped for at least 3, but are open to other ideas). FYI the actual resort has 40+ cottages for rent.
The resort is right on the beach, incorporate some wavy lines in between the name or underneath to represent the beach, sea grass a hawk or hawk's nest.
The new logo will be used on the website, collateral and T-shirts.
Below are to links to logo that we like:

The City College of San Francisco in cooperation with the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards and local joint apprenticeship Committees offers "related training" apprenticeship programs in designated trades or occupations. Apprenticeship on the job training is not offered by the College. Most apprenticeship programs are three to five years in length, similar to a four year bachelor's degree program. Persons interested in seeking apprentice status and enrollment in apprenticeship "related training" classes listed in this catalog should contact the California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the local sponsoring joint apprenticeship committee.
Apprenticeship is a work force training concept, which is designed to prepare individuals, generally a high school graduate, and produce highly qualified and well trained workers who have solid knowledge as well as specific, technical job skills for occupations in the skilled trades and crafts. Upon completion of an apprenticeship program, the State of California Department of Industrial Relations California Apprenticeship Council awards a Certificate of Completion of Apprenticeship in the trade.

Supreme Court
The Supreme Judicial Court, established in 1820 when Maine separated from Massachusetts, is the State's highest court and the court of final appeal. It has seven justices, presided over by the Chief Justice, the head of the Judicial Branch.
The Court's major job is to decide appeals on questions of law that arise in civil actions and criminal trials. Questions of law are presented to the Court when a case is appealed from a trial court. Parties or their lawyers present written briefs and oral arguments outlining their respective positions. The justices reflect on the questions presented and issue a written opinion deciding the issues in accordance with the Court's view of the law and reversing or affirming the lower court's decision or a brief memorandum of decision briefly describing the outcome in a particular case. Memoranda of decision are not published. Opinions are published and become binding on all the Maine courts when they adjudicate similar disputes. Published opinions are available on this web site or may be found in bound form in the Maine Reporter. In its appellate capacity (as interpreter of the laws), the Court is called the Law Court.
The Court has several other jobs. An appellate division of the Court hears appeals from criminal sentences when the penalty is one year or more of incarceration. The justices may issue advisory opinions to the Governor or Legislature on legal issues of high public importance. The Court is also responsible for overseeing admission to the Bar and the conduct and discipline of lawyers and judges. Finally, the Court is the procedural rulemaking authority for all of the state's courts

Christmas is so close. I can almost taste the cookies! Ho! Ho! Ho!
We are all ready for the big night. There are just a few things to do. Everyone else is sleeping. So I thought I would write a quick poem for you…
The sleigh is all packed,
The reindeer in bed,
Dreaming of pulling,
Santa Claus' red sled.
The elves have been busy,
With paper and bows,
Ribbons and packages,
And polishing a nose!
Do you know which one?
It's famous. It glows!
And I have been busy,
Checking out my new sleigh,
Making sure it is perfect,
Making sure its okay.
Cuz Santa is coming,
I'm but one sleep away!
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
P.S. Do you have any special messages for me on my big trip? (You can leave a message for me. Or, scroll down to see what others have written!)

Work in Order
I own and operate a small business doing office organizing and business coaching with an emphasis on improved productivity. Essentially I help people get their Work in Order so that they ultimately have more time for fun, relaxation, vacation etc...
Working individually in people's offices, I
- teach time and task management prinicples,
- basic computer training for improved productivity (Outlook, One Note, Mac iCal/To Do, Entourage. OR match people up with the best productivity software for their needs - GTD, Franklin Covey, etc..)
- do hands-on file set-up, desk de-cluttering etc..
- set up business processes to support improved customer service and sales
I have the web domain http://www.workinorder.com regsitered and plan on doing a web site in the next few months.
I have been an organizer for 7 years and have owned and sold one resiential organizing business (www.organizingmatters.ca - check it out to see the style of my previous business).
Possible slogan or tag line:
Work in Order
Prioritize. Focus. Succeed.
SOHO - Small office, Home office.
I love working with solopreneurs, mom-preneurs trying to balance home and business, small creative businesses, not for profits, any environmental industries, and telecommuters in home offices who work for larger corporations.
Basically anyone in a small or home office who is:
- struggling with piles of paper
- managing a busy life and growing business
- looking for support in start-up mode
- has Outlook + Blackberry but needs help maximizing these tools (as well as the ones mentioned above)
- Also, those people who are already organized and really appreciate the value of being well organized, but who could use a little boost with some key reminders of productivity principles and business systems development
To me the company name conveys a few messages:
- Getting your Work in Order so you are more in control, less stressed etc...
- You work, in order to.....(fill in the blank) - play, relax, make money etc...
- Work in Order of priority - focus on the most important things
- Work in order - methodical, best order of events in project planning, step by step etc...
I am looking for a crisp, contemporary logo. I have no image in mind and dont necessarily need one. But if you have a brilliant idea for one I would love to see it!
Since I offer a de-cluttering service it needs to be very clean, simple and minimalistic. I like lots of white space.
I would like a charcoal grey and green combo. Fresh and crisp but not a limey cartoony green. I also have environmental leanings and will be incorporating green philosphies into my business.
Please avoid having the word Order in italics or larger than the word Work (a competitor of mine is called Hire Order and I dont want to look anything like her logo).
Vector format and translatable to black and white.
I will likely do a vertical business card with rounded corners and a white background.
My approach in working with clients is to keep it simple, work hard and fast, and have fun. How does that translate into a logo? I cant wait to see what you come up with!!

A year after a bomb exploded during one of Boston's most-celebrated events, the marathon will continue, but many of those whose lives were shattered by this act of violence are still struggling to put the pieces back together. Impact Your World has identified some of the victims, as well as larger funds, who continue to need your support.
The One Fund Boston, founded by Gov. Deval Patrick and Mayor Thomas Menino after the bombings to help those affected, is still active. A coast-to-coast relay raised over $400,000 for the charity, which you can donate to here.
A group of 72 people called Team MR8 is running this year's marathon in honor of Martin Richard, a child killed in the blast. A congresswoman from Arizona and the head of the Indianapolis marathon are among the runners. According to the team, they will be raising money for the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation, which will be invested in education, athletics and community to support Martin's message: "No more hurting people. Peace."
A fund is still active for Heather Abbott, who lost her left foot in the explosion. Money raised will go toward Heather's continuing recovery and associated financial needs. You can donate here.
Jeff Bauman, who lost both legs, is credited with giving police valuable information in the days after the incident despite his horrific injuries. His website directs donations to some of the organizations that helped Bauman with his own recovery.
Sabrina Dello Russo, who suffered a traumatic brain injury and hearing loss, is running this year's marathon for her friend Roseann Sdoia, who lost her leg in the blast. The money raised by the Running for Ro team will go toward Roseann's prosthetic. Sdoia also has another recovery fund that is still active and accepting donations. You can find it here.
Marc Fucarile was the last victim to leave the hospital. Fucarile lost a leg and sustained other severe injuries, for which he may need future surgeries and continued rehabilitation. His fund remains active. Money raised will go toward Fucarile's continued financial costs.

Back in high school, we had a friend named Bob. He sat behind us in German class. He worked at Taco Bell, but preferred to tell people, "I'm in the employment of Pepsico." One day, a customer walked up to the counter, saw his name and said, "Oh, it's you Bob." Our classmate Shannon Quinlan had a quirkily crushable JV cheerleader little sister. She also had a dad named Bob. Bob Quinlan had a sign in his garage that read, "No Parking Except for Bob." Basically, this Sentra SE-R spot took early '90s suburban Sacramento by storm. And frankly, when we're driving sports sedans, we still think to ourselves, "If we could afford a sports sedan, the world would belong to us — Bob."

Rubbers are widely used in the seals industry for rotary shaft seals, static sealing elements such as O-rings and energizers, as well as dynamic seals in the fluid power industry. Depending on the chemical composition, rubbers can cover a wide temperature range up to 200 °C (390 °F) and more and withstand a wide variety of hydraulic fluids. NBR elastomers in a hardness range from 70 to 90 Shore A (shA) are the most commonly used rubbers in the fluid power industry. For higher temperatures and more aggressive hydraulic fluids, SKF recommends HNBR or FKM elastomers.
Table 1 lists common rubbers.
At temperatures above 300 °C (570 °F) all fluoro elastomers and PTFE compounds give off dangerous fumes. If there is contact with your skin or if the vapours are inhaled, seek medical advice immediately.
