All of us have gone through this before – you're out in a noisy nightclub, mate tries to take a picture of you, but leaves the camera setting on "video" – leaving you to be part of a 3 second clip of you pulling strange faces and posing for a picture.
It's always about looking like you're having the best time in the moment when the photo is snapped – it takes a lot of hard work. The Nottingham Trent Student Union has taken this well known fact and exploited it by tricking its students into thinking they're being photographed, when actually they're being filmed instead.

Growing Ally Days
The university's inaugural Ally Days was held in Ives Hall this spring as a fun way to engage the Cornell community about connecting with marginalized groups.
"Beyond all expectations" is how ILR Associate Director for Diversity and Inclusion Cornell Woodson described the two-day educational event, which featured former NFL player, Wade Davis, executive director of You Can Play.
Davis's talk was about recognizing that many people do not practice "self love."
Woodson said, "In order for us to love other people and therefore be allies to them we have to love ourselves."
"It was awesome, and he was so down to earth. For him, it was about the conversation and engaging in dialogue."
Woodson said he was inspired to create the program at Cornell based on his previous work at New York University.
"We had a program called Ally Week. It was a great way to engage the community and have conversations about what it means to be an ally," Woodson said. "We all play a role in dismantling and ending systems of oppression."
Woodson originally believed that Ally Days at Cornell would involve only the ILR community.
"I shared the idea at the university's diversity communities meeting. Then, all of a sudden, emails started flooding in offering help and support."
The event engaged many new members of the Cornell community that are not usually reached by diversity and inclusion efforts, Woodson said.
"What I loved most about the event was that it was not the same people," Woodson said. "I do these same types of events throughout the year, and it is always the same faces every single time, and there were so many new faces."
Woodson said he sees opportunities to grow Ally Day as the energy around social justice continues to increase.
"Incoming ILRies are focusing so much more on social justice and not just in its traditional roles, but in finance, law and everywhere," Woodson said.
"They want to figure out how to bring this more mainstream and I believe that programming like Ally Days will become even bigger because of the passion for social justice from our incoming freshman class."

How can we compare political systems in contemporary world politics? What measures can we use to understand the political development of countries whose histories and cultures make them so different? The Political Atlas of the Modern World is a unique reference source which addresses these questions by providing a comparative study of the political systems of all 192 countries of the world. Using quantitative data and multidimensional statistical analysis, the Atlas ranks countries according to five indices of political development: stateness external and internal threats potential of international influence quality of life institutional basis of democracy. Illustrated throughout with tables and diagrams, the book describes the methodological tools used and the key research findings. This innovative research project was initiated and sponsored by the Institute for Public Projects (Moscow) and supported by MGIMO-University.
"Recognizing the need for more a more nuanced approach to cross-national comparison, the authors of A Political Atlas of the Modern World have developed a multidimensional classification that encompasses and enhances existing tools. By combining critical concepts in comparative politics and international relations, the Atlas serves as a valuable reference for scholars and practitioners, as well as a remarkable tool for students to evaluate global politics and better understand methods of political research." —Erik Herron, University of Kansas "This volume provides one of the most ambitious attempts at classifying political systems across the world, based upon existing empirical data. The volume not only critically assesses existing data sets but tries to tap into the data to provide a series of rankings that might be used by comparative political scientists. This will be a very useful source for years to come." —John Ishiyama, University of North Texas

Nineteen Eighty-Four (sometimes written 1984) is a 1949 dystopian novel by George Orwell about an oligarchical, collectivist society. Life in the Oceanian province of Airstrip One is a world of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance, and incessant public mind control. The individual is always subordinated to the state, and it is in part this philosophy which allows the Party to manipulate and control humanity. In the Ministry of Truth (Minitrue, in Newspeak), protagonist Winston Smith is a civil servant responsible for perpetuating the Party's propaganda by revising historical records to render the Party omniscient and always correct, yet his meagre existence disillusions him to the point of seeking rebellion against Big Brother, eventually leading to his arrest, torture, and reconversion.
As literary political fiction, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a classic novel of the social science fiction subgenre. Since its publication in 1949, many of its terms and concepts, such as Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, and Memory hole, have become contemporary vernacular. In addition, the novel popularized the adjective Orwellian, which refers to lies, surveillance, or manipulation of the past in the service of a totalitarian agenda.
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Nineteen Eighty-Four thirteenth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

My wife and I just got back from New Orleans, where I turned 50 (and now feel 60!). We stayed at Maison de Ville in their cottages on Dauphine. There was a mixup in our reservation, and the cottage that had been confirmed for us wasn't available. So they upgraded us to a two bedroom cottage, with a private courtyard and pond. The building must have been over 1,000 sq. ft., and we felt like Creole elite for a week.
We had five major meals over the course of four days. All but one were close to perfect, and here's how we each ranked the restaurants:
1. Stella!
2. Bistro at Maison de Ville
3. Bayona (lunch)
4. Brennan's (brunch)
5. Jacques-Imo
1. Stella!
2. Bayona
3. Bistro at Maison de Ville
4. Brennan's
5. Jacques-Imo
We had dinner at Stella! on Sunday. Our concierge had recommended it, and made the reservation. We were a little apprehensive because of the silly name, which made it sound like a tourist trap. But that was a mistake; we had as good of a meal as we've ever had. And with only 16 tables it's way too small to be a tourist trap. As an appetizer, we split a mushroom and lobster risotto with truffle oil that was unbelievably good. Followed that up with aspargus soup with lump crabmeat and olive oil. Cathy had an incredibly good steak that was crusted with stilton, and I had duck breast, the best I've had. No desserts were attempted.
The only (minor) flaw was a chatty waiter, who brought our entrees and then hung around to tell us the story of the restaurant. It's great that he's excited about the place, but we wanted to eat. BTW, Anne Kearney (of Peristyle) was at the next table, and seemed to like things as much as we did. You will too!
Bayona was reliably good, and less than a block from our cottage. I had the duck sandwich, which is a bargain at $9.50 (I had a beef po-boy that cost $9.50 later in the week). Cathy had the omelet of the day, which had sundried tomatoes and shrimp. I started with the garlic soup, and Cathy had a wonderful shrimp and black bean appetizer. I had peach sorbet for dessert, because it was the only thing I felt able to eat at that point.
The Bistro at our hotel was where I had my 50th birthday dinner. This place has only 12 tables, and is pretty cramped in spots. But our table was tucked around the corner from the entrance, and we sat beside each other on the banquette. Quite romantic! Cathy had a good crawfish remoulade, and I started with foie gras. I had duck soup, which was almost stew-like in consistency. I had the wild boar for an entree and Cathy had grilled shrimp, which she raved about. We shared chocolate creme brulee for dessert.
Everything that I had was very good, but nothing stood out. Cathy disagrees, though. She nearly rated this meal as our best. I think that she was seduced, in part by the atmosphere. Nothing wrong with that, of course.
Patrick, their famous maitre d', was vacationing in Monte Carlo. This was a bit of a problem at one point. My mother-in-law had given me money to have a nice bottle of wine with this dinner, and their wine list was daunting. Our waitress wasn't much help, and we bought a disappointing pinot from Oregon. That was the only problem, though.
Even though we both put Brennan's fourth, we were very happy with the meal and would recommend it to anyone. We were seated immediately at a nice table beside the courtyard. We both did the traditional prix fixe thing. I had strawberries and cream, and eggs benedict over trout over spinach. Cathy had the baked apple, and eggs benedict with marchand de vin sauce added (Hussarde?). We both had Bananas Foster, naturally.
I'm so impressed at how the Brennan family runs this restaurant. It's a big place, and crowded, even in June. But things run like a well-oiled machine. Yet we didn't feel like we were eating off of an assembly line. The food was excellent, and the courses were well paced (this was true of each of theese four places). Service was excellent.
Brennan's managed to turn around the one little incident that could have marred the meal. My wife found a small shard of glass in her dessert bowl. She mentioned it to our waitress only after we had paid the check. Addi, our waitress, saw that the glass had chipped off of the bowl, probably because the bowls clinked together while she was preparing the dessert. She had the bill redone without the bar tab (two milk punches and a glass of chardonnay), and tore up our first credit card charge. If Brennan's were just a tourist trap, once they had our money they wouldn't have given it back.
Jacues-Imo was last night, and it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. The big problem was the wait for a table. I knew that we'd have to wait, but being as it was a Tuesday in June, I thought it wouldn't be too long. My bad - we spent two and a half hours in the Maple Leaf! We had been told 60 minutes, BTW. We struck up conversations with several others that were waiting in the bar. They were all tourists that said they were told to go to Jacques-Imo because tourists never go there.
We were both a little hammered by the time we finally got seated at 10:30, and Cathy more than a little. The service was kind of poor, but the waitstaff all looked understandably exhausted. Our food was good, especially the fried chicken, but by that time we were just looking to get out of there. And while the price is right, you've gotta put a value on your time, too. Plus the Maple Leaf put a $40 value on the drinks we had there. So it wasn't really a cheap night out.
Other than those 5 meals, we had oysters at Acme (so good!), an oyster po-boy at Remoulade (just OK), and the usual beignets at Cafe du Monde. Lastly, we split a shrimp po-boy at Johnny's. The sandwich was great, but that has got to be the filthiest place I've ever eaten in! We just closed our eyes and chewed.
Sorry to be so wordy, but I hope this helps somebody somewhere along the line. And you all ought to consider Stella! for that special meal. Trust us on this one.

Keeping Cool in the Great Northwest
Although gas prices are cramping our style a little, we've still logged a few miles since my last post. Our new game plan is to stay put in one place rather than pulling up stakes every five to seven days. That's why we're spending over a month just outside of Portland, enjoying the great scenery and weather and visiting with family. Our freshly-minted pharmacist has a new job and apartment here and our other daughter and her family have made Portland their home for several years.
We took a round-about way to get here though, and saw some great scenery. After traveling through the California Gold Country we headed over the Sierras to Reno. Mothers Day was spent driving all around Lake Tahoe and making a traditional "deposit" in one of the many gaming establishments Nevada is famous for. Next we were on to Boise, the newest addition to our list of "Places Where We Could Live." Our friends Ron and Jennie did a great job of keeping us entertained and busy - we played lots of golf and went on great road trips, including an amazing day visiting the famous Hells River Canyon. The frosting on the cupcake? Jennie and I tied for third place in her ladies' golf league tournament - Yay!
Our next stop was a change of pace for us. We headed to the plains of eastern Oregon to spend five days at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge for some bird watching. (The cowboy photo at the top of the post was also taken near Malheur.) We picked up the birding bug (and a hand-me-down bird book) a few years ago from our daughter, a real birding enthusiast. We've been pretty casual about it until we arrived at Malheur, a renowned birding hotspot. After spending at least two days driving s-l-o-w-l-y down this road with our binoculars trained out the window at anything that moved we racked up almost 60 species, including the American Bittern and Sandhill Crane. And it was fun - just like a treasure hunt!
After spending a few days in central Oregon we headed for Dufur (just south of The Dalles) to spend a few days with our kids at their cabin. We hung out, had some great meals, explored the countryside, and took a hike to check out the seasonal creek that flows through their property.
And, as you can see, our amazing granddaughter Nola loves the swing that her papa put up near their cabin.
Now, after a few rainy days, we're enjoying the beautiful weather in Portland, spending time with the kids, and playing with Nola. Before the weather improved we headed east to spend a couple of nights at Hood River where we played golf, went wine tasting, and checked out the beautiful Columbia River Gorge scenery. Last week we spent an afternoon visiting the wineries in the Willamette Valley and agreed that the wines were wonderful and the scenery was reminiscent of the Italian countryside. We've played a couple of rounds of golf at Edgefield, a nearby par 3 course. Since none of the holes is longer than about 80 yards, you can walk the course while carrying the two or three clubs you'll need and a pint you can pick up at the clubhouse/pub. It's a fun way to work on your short game. . . (And is it beginning to sound like all we do is play golf and drink wine??)
In any event, we'll be in Portland for a couple of weeks before heading north to Washington. We also have an impromptu visit to Hawaii planned. Stay tuned for the details. . .

Femtocells doomed, but WiMAX a winner
|05 декабря 2008
Gigaset said Thursday that femtocell technology lacks any kind of viable business model, and will fail to gain any meaningful traction in the consumer market.
The DECT handset maker, which was spun off from Siemens at the beginning of October, said the only realistic application for femtocells is in an office environment.
"Femtocells will die after a short while because there isn't a business case," said José Costa e Silva, CEO of Gigaset.
Speaking to Total Telecom, he said that only "hardcore" mobile phone users will be prepared to pay for femtocells.
"They make more sense in offices and high rise buildings where coverage is poor and people are using mobile phones for work, but not in the home," he said.
Costa e Silva said he expects consumers will be sceptical of having what is essentially a mini base station in their houses.
"Everyone hates those antennas when they're on the roof, so why would people feel comfortable with one in the room where they sleep? It doesn't matter how femtocells are marketed, people will get round that," he said.
It is partly for these reasons that Gigaset also believes that fixed-mobile substitution will only take place on a small scale.
"We see a small amount of substitution in younger age groups, and that is mainly down to pricing reasons," said Costa e Silva.
Even then, the company commented that fixed-line services, especially broadband, still have a future in most markets.
"In the U.K. there is a lot of copper in the ground and prices are still coming down," said John Smith, managing director of Gigaset's U.K. and Ireland operations.
"Mobile broadband is great for nomadic users, but in-building coverage is still an issue... I don't expect to see anyone coming in and building out a WiMAX network," he said.
Some expect WiMAX to struggle to carve out a slice of the market; however, Gigaset said it still expects some countries will adopt the technology.
"In five to 10 years I would say the mobile infrastructure market will be 70% based on 3G, UMTS, LTE, and another 25% will use WiMAX," said Costa e Silva, explaining that the remaining 5% will be comprised of niche technologies.
"Russia didn't invest much in 3G early on, so there are possibilities there, as well as other countries in Eastern Europe," he said.
Gigaset's WiMAX focus remains on the CPE side of the market. It is working with operators on WiMAX projects in Pakistan, and the U.S. with Sprint Nextel.
"Great technology comes down not only to the infrastructure but the consumer proposition, and with WiMAX the consumer proposition is there," said Costa e Silva.

You could watch paint dry though. OK 6.20 am and still awake. I was planning on a hot cross bun walk this morning with my walking group. No can do as shattered. At least there are 4 out the 6 buns left.I have converted to Quorn for chilli so some attempt to get cholestrol down.
Relieved but sad that its dawn. The darkest hour etc but also another wasted day. I wish I could sort my sleeping/ energy out. Was on the verge on pain killers earlier because my knees and legs hurt.Feel achy all over.I find it difficult to plan at the moment because I never know if I will sleep or how well I will feel.

The Treasury Solicitor's Department (TSol) is the largest in-house legal organisation in the United Kingdom's Government Legal Service.
The Department is headed by the Treasury Solicitor. This office goes back several centuries. The office was enshrined in law by the Treasury Solicitor Act 1876, which established the Treasury Solicitor as a corporation sole (an office with perpetual succession). Employees of the Department exercise legal powers which are vested in the corporation sole.
The department is a non-ministerial government department and executive agency.[1] The Treasury Solicitor reports to the Attorney General for England and Wales. The department employs more than 600 solicitors and barristers to provide advice and legal representation on a huge range of issues to many government departments.
Her Majesty's Procurator General and Treasury Solicitor is currently Paul Jenkins. He is also the Chief Executive of the Department as an Executive Agency.
The Treasury Solicitor's Department is the authorised address for service of proceedings on most Government departments, by virtue of the list published under the Crown Proceedings Act 1947.
In England (with the exception of Lancashire, Manchester and Cornwall) the Treasury Solicitor is the Crown's nominee for the collection and disposition of ownerless property (bona vacantia). This typically comprises the assets of dissolved companies and the estates of persons who die intestate and with no known kin.

5. Introduction to Public Policy
This course is designed as the gateway offering for students beginning to pursue a minor in public policy through the Rockefeller Center. The term will be divided into four main components: The Nature of Public Policy, Making Public Policy, The Policy Players, and The Policy Game. In the concluding section of the course, we will pursue specific policy domains—environmental policy, education policy, health care policy, welfare policy, immigration policy, and defense policy.

26. Health Policy and Clinical Practice
This course provides an overview of medical care in the United States. Students are introduced to common health problems facing Americans and problems of the complex system which evolved to address them. They will explore how we know whether medical care improves health and develop their quantitative reasoning skills using clinical data. Doing so will help students to become both informed citizens—and discerning consumers —for the largest sector of the nation's economy.
Dist: SOC; WCult: W. Welch.
40. Economics of Public Policymaking
The course will use the basic tools of economics to analyze the most significant current public policy issues in the United States. Given the time constraints of the course, we will focus on the issues that the current presidential administration is likely to confront. The goal is to understand both the substance and politics of each issue. We will examine the effects of recent policy changes and analyze the likely effects of prospective reforms, particularly those that are likely to be debated in the political arena in the near future. Dist: SOC; WCult: W. Wheelan.
41. Writing and Speaking Public Policy
Not offered in the period from 09F to 11S

Dist: SOC: WCult: W. Burns.
81.5 Poverty and Public Policy in the United States (Identical to Sociology 55)
The most obvious solution to the problem of poverty is to give someone a job. More than four decades of employment programs have shown, however, that this is not as easy as it sounds. Recent changes in the economy (downsizing, globalization, technological change) make this situation even more challenging. This course examines the past and future of employment policies as poverty alleviation strategies. It brings together theories of poverty and employment, an analysis of current trends in the economy, and an overview of past and current employment programs. Dist: SOC; WCult: W. Hollister.

We examine several contemporary global controversies surrounding the recent advancements in biotechnology to demonstrate how this area of science impacts food security, public health, economic development, and weapons proliferation. These various dimensions of biotechnology policy are analyzed through the lens of different bodies of international law, such as intellectual property, human rights, and arms control. Our primary objective questions whether biotechnology and international law will promote cooperation and peace or spur conflict and war in the 21st century. Hurt.
84.2 Health Policy Reform
Students will analyze current American health-policy reform proposals, judging their substance and devising variations and replacements. The histories of modern issues will be reviewed and a health-policy problem list created, its entries distributed for analysis to individual students. Projects will proceed in parallel, with lessons learned shared at each meeting, while readings and discussions will explicate factors shaping policy and constraining innovation. A closing exercise will assess student proposals for complementarity and reconcilability. Dist: SOC; WCult: W.
84.4 Science and Technology Policy
Not offered in the period from 09F to 11S
The course will provide an analysis of science and technology policy in the United States. Institutionalized in what are known as "R&D budgets," science and technology policies have become means of confronting the fundamental challenges to our quality of life (e.g., security, environment, health). Federal agencies are entrusted with translating scientific research into policy solutions that benefit society. This course examines that process of translation—the interplay of interests through the apparatus of government to produce "public policy." Dist: SOC; WCult: W. O'Neal.

SAN FRANCISCO (03/30/2000) - Intel Corp. announced today that U.S. government tax body the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has closed its examination of the chip maker's tax returns up to and including 1998.
The chip maker said it has reached a resolution with the IRS on a number of issues, including adjustments related to inter-company allocation of profits, according to an Intel statement released today. Intel expects to reduce previously accrued taxes for the current quarter, reducing the quarter's tax provision by US$600 million, or about 17 cents per share, the vendor said.
Intel said the agreement doesn't change its previous tax rate guidance. The company still expects its tax rate for 2000 to be 31.7 percent, excluding the $600 million accrual reversal and acquisition-related costs from prior and future mergers and acquisitions.
The chip giant is due to release its first-quarter earnings after the close of market on April 18. Current estimates call for Intel to post a profit of 69 cents a share, up from 57 cents a share last year, according to analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial.

Abstract Salicornia bigelovii Torr. has been consumed not only as a popular kind of vegetable, but also as a medicinal plant to treat hypertension, cephalalgia, scurvy and cancer. The present study was designed to investigate its chemical components and cytotoxic activity. A new noroleanane-type triterpene saponin, bigelovii C 1, was separated and purified from Salicornia bigelovii Torr., along with four known triterpene saponins 2–5. The structure of bigelovii C was elucidated as 3-O-6-O-butyl ester-β-D-glucuropyranosyl-23-aldehyde-30-norolean-12, 20 29-dien-28-oic acid-28-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, according to various spectroscopic analysis and chemical characteristics. Besides Compounds 3 and 5, bigelovii C had potent cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines, MCF7 breast cancer, Lovo colon cancer and LN229 glioblastoma, especially MCF7. Bigelovii C inhibited the growth of MCF7 cells in dose- and time-dependent manners. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the percentage of apoptotic cells significantly increased upon bigelovii C treatment. Rh123 staining assay indicated that bigelovii C reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential. The mechanism of cell death by bigelovii C may be attributed to the downregulation of Bcl-2 and upregulation of Bax, cleaved caspase-9, caspase-7 and PARP. These results suggested that bigelovii C may impart health benefits when consumed and should be regarded as a potential chemopreventative agent for cancer. View Full-Text

text: rah7777777 Posted March 3, 2015 Hello all. I have Michelin AC10 tires on my street legal WR450. I'm not concerned about them wearing too fast as I wanted an aggressive off road tire for when I play off road. But when I hit about 50'ish mph on concrete she starts acting like she wants to tank slap, very odd feeling. I'm fully assuming this is due to the aggressive tire, would a steering stabilizer help reduce this? I don't ride her on the street much but when I do is prefer a smoother ride if it's possible. But don't want to give up the off road traction. If that all makes any sense... Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
