Skin cancer is the term that is used for all bad forms of growth of the skin. In everyday use, people often talk about melanoma, but there are other forms of skin cancer, too. These are usually named after the type of cell that grows uncontrollably. Most skin cancers develop in the epidermis. Very often a tumor can be seen, so it is often possible to detect skin cancer at an early stage. Very few people with skin cancer will die of the disease., though it can be disfiguring. Melanoma survival rates are poorer than for non-melanoma skin cancer, although when melanoma is diagnosed at an early stage, treatment is easier and more people survive.
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer. Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers combined are more common than lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Melanoma is less common than both basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but it is the most serious -- for example, in the UK there were over 11,700 new cases of melanoma in 2008, and over 2,000 deaths. It is the second most common cancer in young adults aged 15-34 in the UK. Most cases are caused by over-exposure to UV rays from the sun or sunbeds.
Non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common skin cancers. The majority of these are basal cell carcinomas. These are usually small spot growths caused by too much exposure to the sun over time. They do not usually spread, and rarely kill.

Wladyslaw Stanislaw Reymont, born as Stanislaw Wladyslaw Rejment, (May 7, 1867 in Kobielce Wielkie, Poland - December 5, 1925 in Warsaw, Poland) was a well-known Polish writer, who won the Nobel Prize in 1924 for his four-volume epic novel "Chlopi" (The Peasants). This novel was about life of this part of the society. He also wrote "Ziemia obiecana" (The Promised Land), about industrial capitalism in 19th century Lodz.
Many people say he is one of the greatest and most prominent Polish writers of all time and one of the greatest in 20th century.
Biography
Reymont was born in the family of the organist. His father, Jozef Rejment, a well-read man, had a musical education and in tuszynskiej performed the parish duties of the organist, and also carried on Civil Status Registers and the correspondence of the parish priest with Russian authorities. Mother, Antonia from Kupczynskich, had talent for a story. She came from the impoverished Cracow gentry; in mature years the writer has often emphasized this fact.

We had a great time in the park. It was not too busy, we only saw a few other jeeps over three hours, we saw about 20 elephants inclusiveness babies, lots of birds, lizards, water buffalo, a few crocs and jackals. No leopards unfortunately but I did not expect this and know they are tough even to spot in Yala. Great to see happy animals especially elephants who are often not looking great. Went in thinking this is a lot of money, came our thinking the price is completely justified. |

The 36th Ryder Cup Matches were held between 22 and 24 September 2006 at The K Club, Straffan, Co. Kildare, Ireland. Team Europe won the competition by a score of 18 1/2 to 9 1/2, equalling their record winning margin of 2 years earlier. This was the first time Europe had achieved three successive victories. Swedish rookie Henrik Stenson made the winning putt, just moments after Luke Donald had sunk a putt to ensure Europe retained the trophy.

WA fires: Joe Francis rejects push for parliamentary inquiry into South West bushfire
Updated
Emergency Services Minister Joe Francis has dismissed calls for a parliamentary inquiry into the recent Waroona-Yarloop bushfire which claimed two lives, saying he did not think it was necessary.
His comments came as the WA Fire Commissioner Wayne Gregson briefed ministers on the fire at the first Cabinet meeting of the year, but refused to answer questions from reporters waiting outside.
Mr Francis said he was hoping to soon announce the terms of reference, and who would conduct a Government-initiated inquiry into the blaze, which destroyed more than 160 properties including most of the town of Yarloop.
Signatures are being collected by local Waroona beef farmer, Ray Hull, who is also the chairman of the WA Shooters and Fishers Party, to petition Parliament to investigate how authorities managed the bushfire.
The move has won support from Government MP Nigel Hallett and others who are keen for an inquiry to be independent of Government and to hold public hearings to ensure transparency.
Mr Francis said the Upper House could initiate a parliamentary committee inquiry if it wanted to, but he could not see the merit in it.
"Look, I don't think it's necessary but the Legislative Council can do what the Legislative Council wants to do," he said.
There's nothing that anyone won't say to an investigator outside of a parliamentary inquiry that [they] would say if they're subpoenaed to Parliament.Emergency Services Minister Joe Francis
"They're [already] doing an investigation into the RSPCA, I think it's totally unwarranted and an absolute waste of time but I respect the supremacy of the Parliament to do as it wishes."
Mr Francis said he would not be worried about a parliamentary inquiry, which would hold public hearings and have the power to subpoena people to give evidence.
"We've got nothing to worry about, you know, we're very open," he said.
"There's nothing that anyone won't say to an investigator outside of a parliamentary inquiry that [they] would say if they're subpoenaed to Parliament."
Mr Francis said Mr Gregson had his full confidence and he has previously defended how authorities managed the fire, hitting out at critics who he labelled "armchair generals".
Opposition emergency services spokeswoman Margaret Quirk said Labor's minimum requirements of any inquiry were that it had open hearings, broad terms of reference and prompt findings and implementation.
She said previous investigations into major WA blazes had dragged on and the reports on them had been released too long after the event.
"I'd be possibly keen on a Lower House inquiry of some description," she said.
"The reason for that is it may be appropriate for example to co-opt the local MP, Murray Cowper, to that inquiry.
"I think in the interests of transparency it might be worthwhile to have the local member sitting on the committee."
No decision can be made on any sort of parliamentary inquiry until State Parliament resumes next month but the Government is expected to release details of its inquiry within days.

Missing University of Rhode Island student Matthew Royer has been located unharmed in North Carolina, according to authorities and his family, but how he got there remains a mystery.
Royer, 21, had been last seen on May 16 on the University of Rhode Island campus. The college junior had moved out of his apartment and returned the keys, according to ABC News' Philadelphia station WPVI.
Royer was on his way home to Skippack Township, Pa., for the summer where his family was waiting for him. He was supposed to report for work at a golf course the day after he returned home, but when he did not show up, his family reported him missing.
Royer was located on Thursday but details about what took him to North Carolina have not been released.
"The family requests that the media not contact them nor reveal his location as they wish to consider this a private and closed matter," Pennsylvania State Police said in a statement.
Royer was reunited with family members at an undisclosed location, according to ABC station WPVI.
"I had figured someone took him prisoner or something," Royer's grandfather Thomas Scully told ABCNews.com today. "We were searching for him. We were afraid."
Scully, 91, said he did not know why Royer went to North Carolina or how he got there, but called his grandson a "bright kid."
"His mother knows where he is and he's alright," a relieved Scully said. "We don't know what he's doing now. He's making his own world."
After Royer was reported missing, authorities determined that he made it within about 30 miles of his Pennsylvania home before falling off the grid.
Royer sent a text message to his mother, Janet Royer, at around 6 p.m. on Thursday to say that he had overslept and was "about to leave."
From there, surveillance footage, debit card use and cell phone tower pings showed Royer stopping at a gas station in Rhode Island at 6:30 p.m., and near Allentown, Pa., at 2 a.m. on Friday and stopping at a gas station about 35 miles from his home a short time later, according to his family and authorities. |

We've been dropping like flies over here. First Stella, then Oliver, then Mabel. Yesterday, it was my turn and I found myself at the urgent care. Strep throat anytime is terrible, but in the middle of summer, oh it's the worst! Luckily we are all on antibiotics and everyday we feel a little bit better. What did people do before penicillin? Goodness we are lucky to have it.

Monika Herceg (born 1990, in Sisak) is a Croatian poet, playwright, editor, feminist and activist. She is from the small village Pecki near Petrinja, Croatia. She was awarded multiple literature prizes. She is known for being a prominent young poet of the new generation and the most awarded young author in recent Croatian history, sometimes called a "literary sensation". She explores the topics of poverty, domestic violence, immigration, and class and gender inequalities.
Biography
She grew up in small village Pecki, near Petrinja, where she studied Physics, first at University of Zagreb and then at the University of Rijeka. She currently lives, works as an editor and raises two kids in Zagreb.
"No one among our contemporary authors laughs like Monika Herceg; nor writes more sorrowful poems," writes Miljenko Jergovic, a Croatian novelist and essayist. The latter statement is especially true when it comes to Herceg's debut poetry collection Initial Coordinates. The poems in the book portray the lives of women in rural Croatia throughout the twentieth century, whose stories of poverty and struggle are recounted in the voices of Herceg's family members.
"There were no books in our house, and paper was only used to light the fire," Monika recalls. However, during her education in the Croatian town of Petrinja, her teachers soon recognized her talent and provided her the support her family could not. Herceg began writing poetry while working several jobs, all taken on to finance her study of physics.
Work and career
In 2017, she won Goran for her book Pocetne koordinate(Initial Coordinates), the most important award for young authors in Croatia. As a result, the book was published in 2018 and, after that, she won the Kvirin Award, Fran Galovic Slavic award and the international award Mostovi Struge.
Initial Coordinates details Herceg's return to the roots of her family and to those earliest, often traumatic, memories that have haunted her throughout her life.
Her second book, Lovostaj (The Closed Season) (Jesenski i Turk, 2019.), was also a success: the manuscript won the Na vrh jezika award for the best unpublished poetry volume in 2018 and was published in 2019. Her third book, Vrijeme prije jezika (Time Before the Tongue) (Fraktura, 2020 ) won the Zvonko Milkovic award.
At the international level, she won the second prize of the International Poetry Competition Castello di Duino that took place in Italy in 2016 and in 2018, she was granted the Bridges of Struga award during the Mostovi Struge festival in Macedonia for best debut of a young author. In 2021 she won the Fierce Women award for her activism.
Her works have been translated in more than fifteen languages and they were published by some well-known magazines. She is part of Versopolis, an online platform dedicated to the promotion of young European authors. Her trilingual poetry books have been published in Lithuania and Austria. Another selection of her works have been published in French as Ciel sous tension, L'Ollave, 2019.
Her stories were also awarded with several regional and national awards, such as the Biber award and the Lapis Histriae award.
Her drama script Gdje se kupuju njeznosti (Where to Buy Tenderness) was awarded by the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb. Her play took off in 2021 and was a success. She was awarded for other drama scripts and also was granted the Marin Drzic award the most, important drama script award in Croatia, for her drama Kill Yourself, Dear Dad,.
She is a member of the Croatia Writers Society and of the editorial board of their magazine.

Not only is the U.S. Election Day a firmly held American tradition but it is considered essential for the continuation of our democracy. It is on this event that citizens elect their leaders and vote upon important issues.
All U.S. federal elections have been held on a Tuesday since 1845. We are told that Tuesday was the earliest day of the week that rural people could get to a polling place. They could not leave on Sunday, their day of rest, and they traveled using slow horse-drawn wagons. The practice of voting on Tuesdays no longer rests upon these hardships. There are conveniently located polling places available throughout the U.S.A. for all voters.
The reason why Americans cast their votes in the month of November is also very practical. From its beginnings the U.S. Congress has met in December and adjourned in March because many of the senators and representatives were farmers. It was deemed necessary that everyone’s place was determined before each new Congressional session began. Today November elections allows for the transition of presidents who are inaugurated on January 20th or 21st. But that’s another story!
The actual date of each U.S. November election changes from year to year. It takes place on the Tuesday following the first Monday, meaning that it only occurs between November 2 and 8. While this formula sounds somewhat convoluted, it avoids scheduling elections on the 1st day of November, which is All Saint’s Day, a Catholic day of observance. That religious holiday no longer acts as a serious impediment to voting, but we keep the original schedule anyway.
It should be pointed out that most of the world does not vote on Tuesday. The countries that hold elections on weekends, like France, Germany, Thailand, Russia and Japan, report the highest levels of participation. The Why Tuesday? organization states that the United States ranks #139 only of #172 in world voter turnout. They claim that the greatest challenges that U.S. registered voters face in voting on Tuesday are work related. Many individuals cannot take time off to vote on a weekday. |

One for each of the 32 states assigned under the principle of first minority (i.e. awarded to the party who had won the second highest number of votes within the state or Federal District);
Thirty-two national senators-at-large, divided among the parties in proportion to their share of the national vote.

National Playground Safety Week is April 22-26. This week is not only centered around preventing injuries while on the playground but also raising awareness about how to keep playgrounds safe.
Children’s Minnesota has one of the busiest pediatric emergency programs in the U.S., with about 90,000 visits each year. We love kids here at Children’s, but we’d rather see them safe at home and on the playground.
The National Program for Playground Safety (NPPS) notes that playground injury prevention can include a broad perspective of factors, such as: maintenance, materials, environmental factors and safe user behavior.
NPPS provides ways to help make sure your child stays safe on the playground – they call it S.A.F.E.™.
S = Supervision
A = Appropriate Environments
F = Fall Surfacing
E = Equipment Maintenance
Keep these safety recommendations.
If you would like to evaluate your playground and know if it makes the grade, download this Playground Safety Report Card from NPPS.

Posts on Ozone are very favorable. Though I haven't been, I checked out the online menu, and it's clearly owned by the same people who own Osha Thai (the "Ozone Tom Yum Soup" and the "Osha Tom Yum Soup" are identical, etc.). I've been surprised at the negative posts about Osha on Valencia. Though I think it went badly downhill around a year ago, it's now much better -- especially the noodle soups, fried noodles, and vegetable dishes. For people who have been to both Ozone and the Osha branch on Valencia, how do they compare?
Also -- to follow up the post from a week or so ago -- anyone know more about Ono Thai at 15th & Valencia? The windows are still papered over, but if the font of the sign is any guide then it looks promising. |

Rice but also on foreign shores, having been introduced by Indians who have migrated to other countries. Rice kheer’s popularity amongst children has led many households to include it as part of their meal plan for young children aged between two and five years old. Rice kheer is very easy to make at home due to the lack of complicated cooking required.
Ingredients for Rice Kheer are milk , sugar , rice (washed), water , green cardamom, saffron , cashew nuts (chopped) and pistachio (sliced).
Tasty Rice Kheer in Pakistan
1. Rice Kheer Preparation: To prepare Rice kheer, firstly take a saucepan. Then put the washed rice into the pan and mix in water as well as milk to cover the rice grains. After covering it with a lid, cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat. While the Rice Kheer is cooking, place a sieve over another pan or bowl to drain out excess liquid from cooked Rice Kheer after it has been cooked.
2. Rice Kheer Cooking: When Rice Kheer is half-cooked remove from heat and add sugar, green cardamom pods and saffron. Rice Kheer can be served hot or cold by optionally adding ice cubes to Rice Kheer when serving it cold. Rice Kheer can also be garnished with nuts like cashew nuts and pistachio nuts before serving it .
3. Rice Kheer Serving: Rice kheer can be served in individual bowls or in a large dish for the whole family to share on special occasions such as festivals, birthdays and other significant celebrations. Rice kheer is normally eaten during winter months or nights due to its very sweet nature which makes it a great snack for children who would love some sweet treat after their dinner before going to bed. |

Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In is a book by U.S. Senator of Vermont, Bernie Sanders. It was published by Thomas Dunne Books in 2016.
It was released on November 15, 2016, a week after the election of Donald Trump. The book was written in the context of Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign and aimed to explain some of its rationale.
In the book, Sanders sets out his position on climate change, free college tuition, income inequality, close the gender wage gap and to defeat Donald Trump while campaigning for Hillary Clinton during the last three months leading to the 2016 presidential election. |
HALLANDALE, Fla. – In one of the great Breeders’ Cup performances of all time, Daylami, perhaps the best horse in the world, destroyed the $2 million Turf over a mile and a half in a spectacular finish.
Ridden with the kind of flair that has made Frankie Dettori the great jockey superstar of Europe, Daylami tracked the big field throughout the long journey, ranged up in the stretch, then pulled away like the great horse he is to give favorite players one of their few hits of a difficult day.
It was a redemption win for everyone. The owners, Godolphin Racing Inc. of the Dubai sheiks, had been trying for five years to win a Cup event without luck. Yesterday, they hit an oil well.
It was vindication for Daylami himself. After winning three Grade 1 races through the summer and fall to stamp himself as the best grass horse in the world, he ran a dismal ninth in the Arc de Triomphe last month at 4-1. Yesterday, he looked exactly what he is – a world beater.
Most of all it was redemption for Dettori, who rode a horrible race in the Classic last year to be beaten on a sure winner, Swain. The betting public has never forgiven him since.
But yesterday, when Daylami sailed under the wire, he blessed himself, returned to the winner’s circle wreathed in smiles and gave his trademark flying leap off the horse’s back.
Daylami beat Royal Anthem by 2 lengths, with last year’s defending champion Buck’s Boy another two lengths back in third. |

The Emirati owner of the 2011-12 Premier League champions endorses the new Red Devils boss in a season review that also praises the work of Roberto Mancini and explains his sacking
Moyes takes the reigns at Old Trafford following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement at the end of this season following 10 years of steady progress at Everton.
And in a video interview posted on the City official website, Al Mubarak reviewed the season before casting an eye towards their crosstown rivals.
“David Moyes is a manager that I have absolutely the highest regard for. He is a fantastic manager,” he commented.
“He did a phenomenal job at Everton and I think he will be a success with Manchester United.”
Al Mubarak also touched upon the decision to part company with Roberto Mancini, City’s manager for the past four years.
“We all felt it was time for a change,” he added.
“Roberto has done a great job for the club. Everybody associated with Manchester City should be deeply appreciative with what Roberto has done for this club.
“He’s won us, at least in our era, the first cup then winning the Premier League, Charity Shield. It’s been a wonderful ride and Roberto has done an incredible job.
“I have the highest regard for Roberto. But it was time for a change. We need something new. We need a change of direction.” |
Charles Shane Robinson (born July 2, 1964) is an American professional wrestling referee. He is currently working with the WWE where he has been working 2001.
Robinson started out as a photographer for Pro Wrestling Federation (PWF) in 1995.
World Championship Wrestling
On September 15, 1997, He refereed a tryout dark match between Chris Taylor and Kendall Windham before WCW Monday Nitro at Independence Arena in Charlotte, NC. A week later, he was signed by World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
His first appearance for WCW was at the WCW TV tapings at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. He turned heel, refereed Four Horsemen matches and aligned himself with Ric Flair. During his heel run, he favored the Horsemen in matches he refereed which annoyed Randy Savage. Savage, who was suspended by Flair (then-WCW President), proposed a match between Robinson and Savage's girlfriend Gorgeous George where if George defeated Robinson, Savage would be reinstated. The match took place on May 9, 1999 at Slamboree 1999. Robinson (dubbed "Little Naitch") copied Flair's signature strut, "wooo!" catchphrase and even wore a robe similar to Flair's. Robinson would lose the match after George hit him with a diving elbow drop.
World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment/WWE
When the World Wrestling Federation bought WCW in March 2001, they hired Robinson. Robinson was a part of The Alliance. The first match that he refereed in the WWF was on July 2, 2001. Even though he was a part of the Alliance, he was mainly a fair and impartial referee. On the July 1, 2004 episode of SmackDown!, he was forced to wrestle Luther Reigns by then-General Manager Kurt Angle. The match was quickly stopped by Charlie Haas however.
On April 18, 2014, while he was traveling with the WWE in Saudi Arabia, he suffered a freak accident after he nearly lost his thumb when he deeply cut it while helping to set up the wrestling ring. He received 6 stitches from a nearby WWE medic. |
British royals Prince William and Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge shunned the use of luxury transport to take a ride across London in a vintage double-decker bus on Thursday (07Nov13). The couple joined veteran actress Barbara Windsor and members of military charity the Royal British Legion for the trip across the city in a 1960s-style Routemaster bus ahead of Remembrance Day this weekend (10Nov13), which commemorates soldiers who have died in battle. The royals were also photographed at London's High Street Kensington Underground Station, speaking with military personnel and buskers who were fundraising for the cause. Poppy Appeal volunteer Tim Connolly, who spoke to the couple while collecting funds at the station, tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "It was a surprise. We were told we would be having VIPs here today but not who. It was a shock, very much so. William picked up the tin and saw it was full and said 'Well done'." |

Last night younger son and I were working on the K’Nex. We’re on step 79 of 182. It’s a great way of teaching patience. As we’re putting the little rods into the connectors, he was quoting :Georgie” from the movie of Stephen King’s It. “It’s all your fault Bill. You let It get me, Bill. It’s all your fault.” He does this perfectly. He even looks like the actor who played Georgie. We’ve got to put him in a little yellow slicker and rain hat one day. As he keeps doing this, I’m giggling and telling him he’s a wee bit creepy. I wanted to make sure younger son knew where this was coming from so I asked him if he knew I meant “creepy” in a good way, that he was being funny. He said, “Yeah, Mom, I know.” Then I asked if it bothered him that some people look at us like we’re a little bit odd. His response? “No, it doesn’t bother me at all. I’m a little macabre.”
Older son comes into the dining room (because everyone keeps their four foot K’Nex set-up on the dining room table). He had been working on his comic strips. I asked him if the “odd” moniker bothered him. He said no and then, in the style of the Addams Family, crossed his arms and snapped twice. I love my sons.
Tonight I decided to watch Clue. As younger son heard the music, he started quoting Mrs. White. “Flames, flames, on the side of my face. Heaving breaths, heaving…flames…” Yeah, a little bit creepy and a little bit kooky. And that’s fine by me.
I’ve never enjoyed the pressure of conforming. It is tiring to try to keep up with what other people think one should be like. I don’t want to live my life trying to be someone I’m not. I try not to judge and when others give the impression they are judging me, I just don’t have time for that either. Hubby and I teach our sons to do what they want to do and be who they want to be (yes, lyrics from the theme song from The Addams Family movie).
Conforming is far too tiring. Life needs to be enjoyed and you have to figure out your own standards, whether that be through religion or spirituality or common sense or whatever guiding force you follow. Then enjoy life.
And one quote from Clue, because I love this movie and it’s just so quotable…
Mustard: Is this place for you?
Wadsworth: Indeed no, sir. I’m merely a humble butler.
Mustard: What exactly do you do?
Wadsworth: I butle, sir.
Mustard: Which means what?
Wadsworth: The butler is head of the kitchen and dining room. I keep everything tidy.
P.S. The boys loved learning that Wadsworth, aka Tim Curry, also played Pennywise.
Love this
Thanks!

In celebration of Bike To Work Week starting today, bike buyers will roll away with more than just a new ride at Century Cycles. This week they will also receive a free membership in Bike Cleveland, the area’s new bicycle advocacy organization!
That's right -- we're offering to pay the individual membership dues in Bike Cleveland (a $35 value) for anyone who buys a bicycle of $500 or more from ourstores in Rocky River, Medina and Peninsula during Bike to Work Week from May 14-18, 2012.
“We want to make it easy for our customers to support bicycling in Northeast Ohio and have as many bicycling opportunities as possible,” said Scott Cowan, owner of Century Cycles. “When someone is a member of a local bicycle advocacy organization like Bike Cleveland, they are helping the area become a more bicycle-friendly and bicycle-oriented place to live.”
Here's how it works: Bike Cleveland membership forms will be offered to buyers of bikes $500 or more at all three Century Cycles stores. Once completed, the forms and dues payment will be submitted by Century Cycles. If someone prefers a family membership at $60, they simply pay the $25 difference and that membership level will be processed for them.
Now is a great time to join Bike Cleveland, Greater Cleveland’s bicycle advocacy organization working to build livable communities by promoting all forms of cycling and advocating for the rights and equality of the cycling community.
To learn more about Bike Cleveland, Cleveland Bike Month, and all the activities planned for Bike To Work Day on Friday, May 18, go to.
Bike Cleveland membership is in addition to the several perks that new bike buyers already receive at Century Cycles, including a free t-shirt, free new bike tune-up, half-priced installation of accessories at time of purchase and 10% off all bicycle accessories for three months. |
Student's t-distribution is a probability distribution which was developed by William Sealy Gosset in 1908. Student is the pseudonym he used when he published the paper describing the distribution.
A normal distribution describes a full population, t-distributions describe samples drawn from a full population; accordingly, the t-distribution for each sample size is different, and the larger the sample, the more the distribution resembles a normal distribution.
The t-distribution plays a role in many widely used statistical analyses, including the Student's t-test for assessing the statistical significance of the difference between two sample means, the construction of confidence intervals for the difference between two population means, and in linear regression analysis. The Student's t-distribution also arises in the Bayesian analysis of data from a normal family.
History
Gosset worked at a brewery and was interested in the problems of small samples, for example the chemical properties of barley. In the problems he analyzed, the sample size might be as low as three. Because of the small sample size, estimating the standard deviation is not possible. Also, in many cases Gosset encountered, the probability distribution of the samples was not known.
One version of the origin of the pseudonym is that Gosset's employer preferred staff to use pen names (instead of their real name) when publishing scientific papers, so he used the name "Student" to hide his identity. Another version is that the brewery did not want their competitors to know that they were using the t-test to test the quality of raw material.
Properties
If we take a sample of n observations from a normal distribution, then the t-distribution with n = n-1 degrees of freedom can be defined as the distribution of the location of the sample mean , relative to the true mean , divided by the sample standard deviation over the normalizing term (that is, ). In this way, the t-distribution can be used to estimate how likely it is that the true mean lies in any given range.
The t-distribution is symmetric and bell-shaped, like the normal distribution, but has heavier tails, meaning that it is more prone to producing values that fall far from its mean. This makes it useful for understanding the statistical behavior of certain types of ratios of random quantities, in which variation in the denominator is amplified and may produce outlying values when the denominator of the ratio falls close to zero. The Student's t-distribution is a special case of the generalised hyperbolic distribution.

On-demand ridesharing, taxi and black car services from companies like Lyft and Uber have been quickly growing their reach within new cities and countries worldwide, but they’re not yet globally available. That’s why seeing their mobile apps ranked highly in countries like Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Estonia and Mongolia seems so odd. Is this another example of growth hacking, a bug, or something else entirely?
This question was raised yesterday by private company M&A database CB Insights on its blog. While analyzing data for the various transportation services, the firm spotted this strange finding. Notes the blog post, “many of the largest players in the market are ranked (sometimes highly) even in countries where they don’t have a presence in. For example, Uber is ranked 9 in the Travel genre in Nigeria…Similarly, Lyft is ranked 94 in Barbados, while it’s website seems to suggest that they are a U.S.-only business.”
The company also examined smaller Uber competitors like SideCar and Hailo, which show similar trends.
The question CB Insights posed remained unanswered – it was merely the suggestion that these companies may be attempting to manipulate their rankings in some way, possibly through less than above-board means. Either that, or there’s some pent-up demand for Uber et al. in several unexpected places.
The truth is, this sort of thing is common among today’s App Store developers. It’s just much easier to track with services like Uber and Lyft, which have very specific markets where they operate on the ground. But still, you may wonder why the Uber app, for example, would ever appear in the App Store in Nigeria, where it does not do business in the first place?
This part is easy to answer. In the iTunes developer portal, where companies submit their apps to Apple’s store initially, the option to make the app available in all supported countries is switched on by default. As Apple explains, “unless you select specific territories, your app will be for sale in all App Store territories worldwide.” Most developers simply leave this option as is, since there’s really no downside to doing so.
But then, why would an app rank well, and sometimes even very highly, in a country where the company doesn’t operate? The CB Insights blog post proposed this could be a bug, some sort of evidence for underlying demand in specific markets, or an attempt at App Store optimization (ASO). One theory floated my way, and also touched on by a user on Hacker News, is that affluent iOS users in these smaller, developing countries could help push apps up the charts quickly in these regions, where competition is not as fierce.
As Naoki Shibata, a co-founder at ASO service SearchMan.com explains, it’s hard for Uber to climb up the charts in a bigger market like Japan, but relatively easy to be ranked in a higher position in countries where there are not many iPhone users. So, for instance, if a user had an iTunes account in the Nigerian App Store, and was planning to travel to a city where Uber did work, they might download the app from their store in advance. That would count the download for their local App Store. And lacking much competition, Uber could soon rank well in the App Store charts.
This could explain some of the rankings, of course, but when there are huge spikes placing apps in these stores’ Top Charts, there may be another reason involved.
George Lawrence, founder of Straply.com, another firm focused on ASO, discounts a number of possibilities for these spikes, like tourism, black hat ASO trickery, or changes to Apple’s ranking algorithm. The real reason, he says? Paid installs.
“Facebook and others have been flaunting the ultimate crack cocaine temptation in front of mobile marketers,” Lawrence colorfully explains, referring to the popular — and successful — mobile app install ads. These ads let app marketers target a specific country’s users, driving them to install their apps. “Given enough money to burn — and Uber’s recent $258M raise would qualify — then I can keep paying for app installs anywhere in the world I want to,” he says. “And by so doing, climb the charts in that country’s store.”
The question then becomes, why bother? While no one knows the specifics of the App Store algorithms, it’s generally understood that things like review volume, average ratings, and download volume all play a role in getting an app ranked, Appnique CEO Jai Jaisimha explains.
That means, assuming Apple takes into account all worldwide (total) download velocity as part of its ranking metric, getting downloads in other countries – including those outside of where the service, like Uber or Lyft for instance, actually works – could increase an app’s rank in the countries they do care about. But this appears to be just a theory. Some say that’s the case, while others say it’s not.
Ian Sefferman, CEO at MobileDevHQ, did some research, though, and claims that it’s “almost certainly the case that Apple takes into account global downloads and download velocity as part of its local rankings across regions.” However, in the case of Uber, he doesn’t think this is really a growth hack, it’s more just happenstance.
In other words, there’s no good reason to exclude an app from other App Stores, and, if there’s money to spend on improving App Store rankings, allocating some small portion of that on app installs ads that target users worldwide couldn’t hurt, either.

There are some sporting events that transcend even the sport they are part of. A heavyweight title fight when the champ is someone like Joe Louis or Muhammad Ali, the races for the America's Cup, golf's Masters and, perhaps most of all, the Kentucky Derby. Each of these events makes ardent fans and partisans of people who normally wouldn't know a boat from a boxing glove, a five-iron from a fetlock.
The fact that each year, on the first Saturday in May, millions who have never seen a live horse on a track tune their tubes to Churchill Downs would certainly have amazed Colonel M. Lewis Clark, the man who invented the Derby or, more accurately, borrowed it from the English. At the time the first Derby was run in Louisville in 1875, Clark was concerned only with the fact that there were no big races in his native Kentucky and that a lot of breeders were seriously thinking about closing down their farms. So, in 1872, after discussing the problem with breeders in the Blue Grass region, Clark went to England and France to study Europe's great tracks and races. There he got ideas for building his own track and there also he decided to inaugurate a great stakes race and pattern it on England's famous Epsom Derby.
Back in Louisville and full of enthusiasm, Colonel Clark sought out the Churchill family and from them bought 180 acres of land just outside the city limits. He then persuaded 32 horsemen to put $1,000 apiece into a new Jockey Club to build a track and run the races. Unfortunately, the leveling of the rough terrain exhausted Clark's $32,000. It took a further donation from a wealthy Louisville merchant, Major W. H. Thomas, to achieve a primitive grandstand and some stables.
May 17, the day of the first Derby, dawned clear and sunny, and some 10,000 Louisvillians set out for a day at the races—some coming in buggies or mule-drawn streetcars, some riding horses, some simply walking. As they waited at the track, the new railbirds ate picnic lunches. There were great splashes of color, particularly in the section set aside for ladies, where Mary Anderson, soon to become a noted actress, was the main attraction. "It was more than a race day," recalled one spectator, "it was a festival."
There was, of course, no pari-mutuel at that first Derby, but bookies did a hot business out of wagons. Favored in the wagering was Price McGrath's Chesapeake, coupled as an entry with a relatively unknown stablemate named Aristides. According to McGrath's race plan, Aristides, who had been cut up badly at Lexington because of the track's poor condition, was intended to be Chesapeake's rabbit. That is, Aristides was supposed to set the pace and wear down the other horses until Chesapeake could come on to win.
McGrath, owner of McGrathiana Stud Farm (now Coldstream Farm outside Lexington), was a self-made man. One of his favorite stories was that he was denied a formal education for the want of 2½¢. As McGrath told it, he gave the first dime he ever earned to a wealthy neighbor, requesting that the latter bring him a blue-back speller from the city. The neighbor came back empty-handed and returned the dime with the comment, "The book cost 12½ cents."
McGrath left his old Kentucky home and went West in the Gold Rush of 1849. He then went to New York and opened up a gambling house in partnership with John Morrissey, the former heavyweight champion of the world. In one night McGrath won $105,000, closed shop and returned to Kentucky to establish McGrathiana Stud. He gained fame as a breeder but never drove horses himself, preferring a team of mules hitched to a wagon.
Among the 15 horses in the first Derby field, the McGrath entry, Chesapeake and Aristides, stood out sharply under the Stud's green-and-orange silks. Unlike the current Derbies, which are a quarter of a mile shorter, the first Derby lasted a mile and a half and was run over a track listed as fast. The winner was to receive $2,850 (this year's winning purse was $155,700) and a massive punch bowl costing $1,000 and including 300 ounces of sterling silver. The race started at a point opposite the grandstand. A starter lined up the horses, someone beat a drum to tell the jockeys the race was on and the official starter dropped a flag to send them off and running in the first Kentucky Derby.
A horse named Volcano took the early lead, with Aristides close behind and Chesapeake near the rear. Aristides' jockey was a Negro named Oliver Lewis, who later made racing history in another vein. Lewis worked for a bookmaker, telling him how certain horses ran in a race. The bookie took notes, which were later developed into charts of races. These charts were the forerunners of those appearing today in The Morning Telegraph and the Daily Racing Form.
Lewis took Aristides to the lead at the half-mile pole. And when he still led after a mile, while Chesapeake dropped farther behind, it became apparent to owner McGrath that the rabbit was to be his Derby winner. So at the head of the stretch, where he had posted himself, McGrath waved at Lewis to "go on." The jockey then loosened his hold on Aristides' bridle and The Little Red Horse, as he became known, stood off a challenge by Volcano to win the first Derby.
The crowd was confused. Some didn't understand the term "entry" and thought the winner was Chesapeake, not Aristides. Others were amazed at Aristides' time of 2:37¾—then the fastest mile and a half ever run by a 3-year-old. Among the puzzled ones was a 13-year-old boy standing on the seat of his father's wagon in the infield. He was Matt J. Winn, whose later management was to build the Derby into the spectacle it is today. Colonel Winn saw every Derby until his death in 1949. "That was my introduction to racing," Colonel Winn later said, "where, at 13, I was to learn so thoroughly that nothing on this earth is quite so unpredictable as a horse race." |

Issue #10 of I Hate Fairyland see Gertie having to make a choice. What a surprise she wasn’t listening to the clues as to how to choose. The right choice will lead her to all her dreams coming true, the wrong one will take her into DARKNESS. And all the flames of Fairyland will not save her, they will only help drive out the light!
Next page, guess what, flames and destruction, and a giant dragon striding over the landscape. Guess Gertie chose unwisely.
It’s a hundred years later and Gertie has aged a little. Her green curls are now in a mohawk, she’s scared and armoured - and looking rather badass. Larry looks like a wrinkled prune of a Gandalf. Things are not looking good folks. Now Larry’s looking for ways to kill Duncan. (Duncan’s the dragon for those who remember issue #7.) As Larry announces...
“A century of Gert’s abuse on Duncan has manifested as this beast of Fairyland’s apocalypse. Hold nothing back, for this is our last stand!”Nothing works!
Duncan can’t be stopped!
It’s the end of Fairyland!
Well, no, okay, of course it isn’t. Larry has a cunning plan - and we all know how well cunning plans work out.
This is another fun run, with some different views to consider and enjoy. Gert is Gert and nothing is changing that. I enjoyed this issue, there's some really creative use of absence, and a total absence of sense in some spots. It's fun and well worth the read. Four out of five this! |

This 16" tall circa early 1900s home made cloth all original rag doll came out of a very old farmhouse in Vermont. She has a hand drawn and colored flat face, elaborately stitched brown wool yarn hair, and a charming set of clothing. Her hair is arranged in 2 joined braids in back and tied with a plaid ribbon. Her clothes consist of cotton pantaloons and slip, pleated plaid wool skirt, cream silk blouse, and black cotton velveteen jacket. She has no shoes and socks and may not have ever had any. Her arms and legs end in plain rounded nubs without definition of hands or feet.
Condition: There is some slight surface soiling. The plaid skirt is shredding apart in areas. The lace cuffs of the jacket are torn. There is one area of loss to her hair on the upper right side of her head.
I estimate that this doll dates from circa 1920s-1930s. She has a lot of charm and personality and must have pleased her child owner greatly.

"Summertime, and the livin' is easy. Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high." - Gershwin |
The pelagic zone is the open sea or ocean that is not near the coast. The name comes from the Greek pelagos (pelagos), which might be translated as "open sea".
To make this clear, seas around continents have continental crust beneath them. They are shallow. Seas away from continents can be very deep, and do not have continental shelves beneath them.
Sub-zones
The pelagic (or open ocean) zone is divided into a number of sub-zones:
Epipelagic (surface to 200m): the illuminated surface zone where there is enough light for photosynthesis. Because of this, plankton, and the food chain which feeds on it, are in this zone. The top predators are fish such as tuna and many sharks.
Mesopelagic (from 200m to 1000m): the twilight zone. Although some light penetrates this deep, it is insufficient for photosynthesis. The name comes from Greek meson, middle.
Bathyal zone (from 1000m to 4000m): by this depth the ocean is almost entirely dark (with only the occasional bioluminescent organism). There are no living plants, and most animals survive by consuming the snow of detritus falling from the zones above, or (like the marine hatchetfish) by preying upon others. Giant squid live at this depth, and here they are hunted by deep-diving sperm whales. From Greek bathus (bathys), deep.
Abyssal zone (from 4000m to the ocean floor): no light penetrates to this depth, and some creatures are blind and colourless. Bioluminescence also occurs in this zone.
Hadal zone (the deep water in ocean trenches) - the name comes from Hades, the classical Greek underworld. This zone is less well known. Very few species live in the open areas, but many organisms live in hydrothermal vents.
The last three zones are similar in character, and some marine biologists count them as a single zone or consider the latter two to be the one zone. Some define the hadopelagic as waters below 6000 meters, whether in a trench or not.

I was lucky enough to work while on the road with my husband who is a traveling musician. We spent some time in Putney, Vermont, near Bennington, where he went to college. I got to spend the morning with a beautiful potter, on her property, in her gorgeous (and handbuilt) studio. It was such a grounding experience, after a week on the road, to be still with her in her bright and creative space. Thanks, Fiona Morehouse! |

Deep Threat
1997 | Directed and animated by Zlatko Grgic | 7 min 12 s
Through an intricate process of evolution, the Earth and its oceans gave man life and in return man said, “Gee thanks Earth” and promptly began to heap junk all over it. That pretty much sums up the plotline of Zlatko Grgic’s quirky seven-minute animated short, which pokes fun at human folly through a comic use of oversimplification. It’s worth a whirl on your iPhone, if only for the deranged Dr. Seuss-like depictions of greedy cement trucks and fishes.

Video High Density (VHD) was a videodisc format which was marketed predominantly in Japan by JVC. There was also an audio-only variant, Audio High Density (AHD).
Technology
VHD discs are 25 cm (9 5/6 inches) in diameter, and store up to 60 minutes of video per side. Each disc is stored in a plastic case, similar to a CED's case, so that the user could not touch the disc itself. The entire case was put into the player, which would take out the disc, and then the now empty case could be taken back out. After one side has finished playing, the disc would have to be taken out, flipped, and put back in to continue playing.
Similar to the RCA's CED, the signal on the VHD is recorded by varying capacitance on the disc. However, unlike the CED, the VHD does not contain any groves and the needle is made of diamond instead of titanium. Instead of having grooves, the needle is kept on track electronically so the needle does not have to actually touch the disc therefore resulting in less wear on the disc and on the needle. In one rotation of the disc, 2 frames of picture and audio were read.
VHD was designed to be very interactive and was used in some video game systems as well as in car engine diagnostic tools.
History
The VHD was first demonstrated in 1978, and after many advertisements in National Geographic magazines, It was eventually released in Japan and in the USA in 1983. However, by this time both Laserdisc and CED were already not selling well compared to the VHS and Betamax VCR systems. As a result of this, JVC did not let the VHD be sold in North America, but made it available to the general public in Japan and commercially in the UK and the US.
During the time the VHD was made, it was mostly used for karaoke systems, anime video games, and interactive training systems. In the UK, the VHD was used for training, demonstration, and fault diagnostics.
In Japan, a 3D version of the VHD utilizes double speed discs and special glasses.
VHDs Today
The VHD was not very successful as a consumer product, but it sold well for commercial purposes. In Japan, the CED is still somewhat popular and the discs and players are both still collected. |

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Hoby Milner was a middling starter-turned-reliever at the end of the 2015 season who was lucky to hit 90 mph. The lefthander needed a change and the Phillies suggested that he lower his arm slot and pitch with a sidearm delivery. Milner did, and success followed.
Milner returned to the Phillies on Sunday after spending six weeks with the Cleveland Indians, who selected Milner in the Rule 5 draft but were unable to keep the lefthander on their 25-man roster. He will likely start the season at triple A, but fans can expect to see Milner reach the big leagues in 2017.
"I feel like I'm more on the map now," Milner said. "I'm glad I was given the opportunity to come to big-league spring training. Just constantly evolving and I feel like I got better when I was there with the Indians."
Milner had a 2.72 ERA last season in 59 2/3 innings at double-A Reading. He struck out 68 and walked just 15 in 47 games. He ended the season in triple A. The lefthander compensated for his lack of velocity with deception on his pitches created by his funky, sidearm delivery.
"You'll see when I throw it doesn't look pretty," Milner said. "But it works."
Joely Rodriguez might be the lone lefthander to make the Phillies bullpen. The team does not have a lot of lefthanded pitching depth, which should allow Milner to get to the majors quickly if he repeats last season's success.
He likely never had a chance to make the Indians, who have two of baseball's best lefthanded relievers in Andrew Miller and Boone Logan. But his time there, Milner said, gave him confidence that the Phillies hope he can use this season.
"That's a big factor," Milner said. "When I was over there, every game I pitched in over there was a big-league game. I didn't feel any different than the rest of the guys there. It's a good experience." |

I brought my thinking about the laws of the universe into my early morning spinning class this morning and it was amazing the insights I had while I was cycling furiously. I had an insight that the universe is held together by these universal laws. The Big Bang, where from nothing came something, created these laws. Gradually scientists are discovering them and how they hold the universe together.
Some of the laws are obvious, scientifically proven and validated. Two these are the law of gravity and the law of relativity. These laws work always and ever the same. If I try to fly from the top of the building where I work, it doesn't matter whether I am a good person or not, I will fall down.
Other laws are not so obvious, at least not at the present time. I will refer to these as soft laws, soft in that they have not been scientifically proven and their existence and how they operate is down to the person who says that they work for them.
Some of these are
1. The law of gratitude
2. The law of cause and effect (karma)
3. The law of attraction
At one point in the class this morning the spinning instructor asked us to think about something we were grateful for. He said think about something you are grateful for and see how much faster you cycle as a result'. He was right, I almost catapulted myself off the bike with the speed I ran those pedals. This law is operating each time we feel grateful for something and it works by producing a kind of melting which frees up energy so more is available.
It struck me that if these laws work always and ever the same then there is nothing personal about them. They will work in the same way for everyone. If this is true it seems a total waste of energy to resist the things that happen to us. Useless because at the deepest level what has happened is only some universal law working that we may not even be aware of. This could also explain why bad things happen to good people. The law of karma and reaping what you sow from different lifetimes obeys a law and has nothing to do with the life of the person living in this life (if that makes sense). I appreciate that to subscribe to the law of karma you have to believe in re-incarnation which I do so there is no conflict for me here.
After all these insights I was on quite a high coming into work. Then..the bubble crashed. In my email inbox I saw 'budget spreadsheet' and my heart sank into the ground. My nightmare was in my inbox. Whenever anyone speaks to me about spreadsheets it's like my mind is enveloped in this thick black dense fog and there is absolutely no comprehension.
This was a spreadsheet to beat all spreadsheets with its zillions of columns all with formula's (to make my life easier!!). When I opened it, I lost the will to live and I just wanted to run. I know that I have written in some entry that I don't suffer from stress but at that moment my whole being was consumed with panic. I decided to speak to the oracle that had created the horrific creature. But what I didn't realise is that those who produce these nightmares do not explain their workings in a simple easy to understand way. Coming away from him, none the wiser but grateful for the time and patience he had showed to me, I resolved always to make things simple.
For me simple is good and is the way life is meant to be. It is the mind that wants to complicate everything. This is why I try when I am writing to be as clear as I can about aspects of the spiritual. This is not to patronise the reader but to acknowledge that the mind likes to complicate the field of spirituality. This is to prevent the message getting through to the soul. When the concepts are written about in a complicated way the mind can have a great time tossing them around and building on them even more elaborate theories. All of this is a distraction to the real work which is by passing the mind to get to the soul which has a much simple, straight forward take on the whole thing.
So the contrast of this day has been incredible. I went from feeling so connected and filled with bliss to being completely frazzled and with a blinding headache. And the cause of all this - one nasty spreadsheet!

Clearwire CEO Bill Morrow on Wednesday announced the appointment of three new executives and the departure of chief operating officer Perry Satterlee.
Morrow, who was appointed chief executive in March by the cable-backed broadband wireless company, also shifted Barry West, most recently the company's president and chief architect, to head Clearwire's international division.
The company's new executives are: G. Michael Sievert, who will join as chief commercial officer; Kevin Hart, who will serve as chief information officer; and Laurent Bentitou, who will join as chief people officer.
Clearwire's majority owner is Sprint Nextel, which holds a 51% stake in the company. Other investors include Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks, Google and Intel. The company merged its operations with Sprint's 4G business last November.
Clearwire did not name a replacement for Satterlee. West's new responsibilities will include overseeing Clearwire's international assets and heading its Global Alliance Partnership Program designed to extend WiMax initiatives with operators and industry associations around the world.
Sievert, joining Clearwire in the newly created role of chief commercial officer effective June 15, will oversee wholesale and retail sales, marketing and customer care. He most recently served as CEO of Switchbox Labs, which was acquired by Lenovo Group earlier this year.
Hart previously was CIO for Level 3 Communications, and Bentitou most recently served as vice president of human resources for T-Mobile USA.
Clearwire also Wednesday reported financial results for the first quarter, announcing 25,000 net subscriber adds to stand at 500,000 broadband-wireless subscribers.
The company posted $62.1 million in revenue, up 21% from proforma results a year ago (combining the Clearwire and Sprint 4G businesses), and a net loss of $71.1 million versus a proforma loss of $76.4 million in the first quarter 2008. Clearwire expects total net cash spending in the range of $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion for 2009. As previously announced, Clearwire is targeting coverage of up to 120 million people with the WiMax network by the end of 2010.
In addition, Clearwire announced an agreement with Cisco Systems, which will be the preferred vendor for IP networking equipment for the carrier's WiMax network and will develop WiMax-based devices for consumer and business markets. |

Prelaw FAQs
- What factors are considered in admission to law school?
- What major should I choose?
- Are there any specific courses a student should take, or is there a prelaw curriculum?
- What about extracurricular activities?
- What parts are there to the law school application?
- What about recommendations?
- What is LSDAS?
- Is there a special test I have to take to be admitted to law school?
- When should a student take the LSAT?
- Should a student take the LSAT once for practice?
- Should a student take one of the commercial LSAT preparation courses?
- When does a student apply to law school?
- Is financial assistance available for law school?
- Should a student arrange interviews or visit the law schools to which he or she is applying?
- What can you do with a law degree?
There are basically two factors involved in the law school admissions decision: a student's undergraduate grade point average and a student's score on the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test). Extracurricular activities should be a part of the student's college experience and recommendations may be required, but only in marginal cases have they any bearing upon law school admissions.
(2) What major should I choose?
One of the best features of prelaw education is that it contains absolutely no requirements or restrictions. While no single curriculum is the ideal preparation for law school, you should try to acquire a well-balanced education. Law schools want students who can think logically, read well, write in a clear, well-organized manner, and who have some understanding of the forces that have shaped human experience. Writing skills and critical thinking skills of analysis and logic can be developed in virtually every discipline. Consequently, courses that require the preparation of research papers and other written assignments that require the collection and analysis of data are recommended. College education stands on its own merits as preparation for a lifetime of active involvement in a diverse and changing society.
(3) Are there any specific courses a student should take, or is there a prelaw curriculum?
The answer is no. As indicated above, prelaw students should seek breadth in their undergraduate studies. The Southeastern Association of Prelaw Advisors recommend several courses that assist students (but which should not be construed as "required" for law school). Examples of recommended courses at UM are: Accounting 211; Economics 211 and 212; History 101 and 102; Philosophy 110 and 215; Political Science 211, 373, 374, and 375. Check the University of Miami Bulletin course listings for description of these courses.
Note: PHI 110 Critical Thinking & PHI 215 Logic and Law are courses that are strongly recommended in preparing students for the logical and analytical reasoning portions of the LSAT.
The University of Michigan’s 1996-1997 Law School bulletin (p.7) states:
The mature and responsible practice of law requires certain attributes and skills: analytic and intellectual abilities of the highest order (for no way of life is more intellectually demanding than that of the law); the strong moral sense which the lawyer’s life of constant ethical challenge and opportunity demands; and the sympathy and imagination which can enable the lawyer to understand the experience of other people, represent that experience in the language of the law, and devise new ways of thinking by which the law can achieve new results.(4) What about extracurricular activities?
You will gain special recognition not by simply having your name associated with most activities, but by active participation that demonstrates maturity, motivation and leadership. Activities in which you have had a strong leadership role and in which you have demonstrated the ability to work well with others can be positive factors in the law school admissions process. The involvement need not be law-related; however, meaningful involvement in law-related activities can be of great value in two ways: it may prove to law schools that your desire to study law is well-considered, and it serves as an excellent way for you to discover the area and extent of your own interest in law. You should be aware, however, that such activities do not substitute for a strong academic record; they merely supplement that record and enhance your chances for admission.
(5) What parts are there to the law school application?
All law schools are unique and therefore require different applications to complete your admission file. All law school applications should be typed and completed in an accurate and neat manner. All applications should be submitted prior to each law school's deadline date. Most law schools will ask for biographical information and a personal statement. Some will require letters of recommendation and a Dean's Certification form. Most law schools also require an application fee that can range from to $0 to $85.00. Financially disadvantaged students can apply for an application fee waiver directly from each law school. Receiving a fee waiver will have no bearing on your application.
(6) What about recommendations?
Though some law schools do not require letters of recommendation, most do require one to three letters, usually two from professors and one from a dean. Students should use the LSDAS letter of recommendation service. When students ask faculty members for a letter of recommendation, they should give them the completed LSDAS recommendation form, and a stamped envelope addressed to Law Services. Students should also give the faculty member a copy of their resume, or other useful information that will assist the recommendation writer. (Students can write and print out their resume at the Toppel Center).
Note: The dean's recommendation is usually a form that asks for basic information such as cumulative g.p.a., class rank, and disciplinary clearance. Students should submit this form with the students' section typed, along with a stamped (addressed to the law school) legal size envelope to the Office of Advising - Student Academic Services at their respective school or college, at the beginning of their senior year. The dean's representative must sign and date the seal of the envelope.(7) What is LSDAS?
The Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) is a nationwide clearing house that evaluates, organizes, analyzes, and summarizes academic information in a uniform manner, and reports this information along with college transcripts, Law School Admission Test (LSAT) scores to law schools. The LSDAS information report is required by most Law School Admission Council (LSAC) member law schools, and helps to simplify the admissions process.
The LSDAS is a service that once paid is valid for 5 years. Applicants must be registered with the LSDAS during the academic year in which they are actively applying for admission to law school. Applicants may register at the end of their junior year.(8) Is there a special test I have to take to be admitted to law school?
Yes, the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) is a half-day standardized test designed to assist law schools in assessing the academic ability of their applicants. All LSAC member law schools require the LSAT, and more than 197 law schools in the United States and Canada use the result as part of their application process. The multiple-choice questions that comprise most of the LSAT are presented in a range of styles and methods and cover a broad range of academic disciplines. They are intended to give no advantage to candidates from a particular academic background. In addition to the multiple choice questions, a half-hour writing sample is part of the test. Scores range from 120 (lowest) to 180 (highest).
The questions yielding the LSAT score are designed to measure the ability to read, understand and reason. The LSAT consists of five thirty-five minute multiple-choice sections and one thirty minute writing sample that does not contribute to the candidate's score. The four scored sections include three different types of questions:
Reading Comprehension: measures the ability to read with understanding and insight. (1 section)
Analytical Reasoning: focuses on the ability to understand the structure of relationships and to draw conclusions about the structure. (1 section)
Logical Reasoning: is designed to evaluate ones ability to understand, analyze, criticize, and complete arguments. (2 sections)
The fifth section of the test are questions that are being pre-tested for use in future tests, this section is not scored. You will not know which section this is, so try your best on each section.
Note: All disabled students should see the Prelaw Advisor for assistance with registering for the LSAT.
(9) When should a student take the LSAT ?
The LSAT should be taken either in June after the Junior year or in October of the senior year, if a student plans to graduate in May. In general, students seem to perform better at the end of their Junior year, and since there is no reason to take it before this time, one should not plan to take the test earlier. Tests are given in June, October, December, and February. Examples: Graduation May, 2009 / Take LSAT Test June, 2008 / Begin law school fall, 2009.
Note: Only a few law schools allow students to begin enrollment in January-Spring.
(10) Should a student take the LSAT once for practice ?
No, definitely not. Whenever any LSAT scores for a person are reported, all scores are reported. Since LSDAS averages the scores, a student should plan to take the test once. If an individual does not perform well (scores below 150), he or she should consult the Prelaw Advisor before registering to retake the test.
(11) Should a student take one of the commercial LSAT preparation courses ?
Neither Law Services, LSDAS nor the Prelaw Office sponsor recommend any specific commercial preparatory course. Students who have taken courses point out that these courses do familiarize the test taker with the format of the test and that taking full advantage of these courses may reduce the anxiety factor. Most commercial preparatory courses emphasize the timing of the test over the content of the LSAT.
The Prelaw Office recommends that students utilize the free services of the Academic Development Center for assistance in improving their reading comprehension and speed of reading skills. Courses such as Philosophy 110 - Critical Thinking and Philosophy 215 - Logic and Law could assist students in developing their logical reasoning skills. In addition, Law Services does provide old tests and other preparation materials which may be helpful if they are dealt with seriously.
(12) When does a student apply to law school ?
A year before a student plans to enter law school, the student should do four things:
Read the Prelaw Manual and consult with the Prelaw Advisor.
Research which law schools you are interested in.
Register for the LSAT and with the LSDAS.
Write to law schools to obtain catalogues and application forms.
All applications should be typed. Typed or computer generated applications should be completed and sent to the law schools to which the student is applying as early as possible before deadline dates.
(13) Is financial assistance available for law school ?
Yes, various types of financial assistance are available for law students, based on both financial need and merit. There are a number of institutional and federal applications that a student must complete in order to be eligible for assistance. Financial aid application deadlines vary according to unique school and program requirements. You should review schools' and programs' financial aid/admissions materials to determine deadline dates. You should apply for financial aid during your senior year (for the following academic year). Federal applications are available in January for that year. Contact each law school's financial aid office and fill out the required applications.
(14) Should a student arrange interviews or visit the law schools to which he or she is applying?
In general, law schools do not encourage interviews but in some cases will provide tours, along with allowing perspective students to come in and pick up applications and other brochures. If a student is traveling and plans to be near a law school of interest, it could be helpful to visit that school. The visit will have no impact on admission but may help the student decide whether or not to apply.
During the fall semester, on September 20, 2008, a number of law schools will send representatives to attend the annual Miami Law Day hosted by the University of Miami School of Law. All prelaw students should attend Miami Law Day where law school admissions representatives will respond to questions and provide valuable information to the perspective law school candidate.
(15) What can you do with a law degree?
When deciding which law school you would be interested in, you should consider which areas of law are strongest at particular schools. All law schools are unique and offer different areas of specialization.

The next event which we really want to predict and give our exclusive offer цomes from tomorrow's tennis program between Australian talent - Nick Kyrgios and Kyle Edmund. Against each other, both players are met twice at a time so far, as Kyrgios beat him all of those direct clashes.
The Australian hope is coming off three long sets won against Andy Murray that took 33 games to decide the game. In the victory, Kyrgios won 82% of his first serve points and 33% of his second serve points, moreover, he got 61% of his first serves in play. He was able to come away with all of the big points in the final set and really grind out a victory.
Kyle Edmund is coming off a straight-sets win against his rival of Rayan Harrison that took 23 games to decide the game. He won 91% of his first serve points and 64% of his second serve points, moreover, he continues to serve at an alien level, as he got 53% of his first serves in play. this time we will take a note from the previous Edmund's game and we are backing to see an attractive game in this amazing tournament between those two big tennis players.

The next meeting which we liked and choose to predict is going to be again from ATP London, Great Britain (The Artois Championships) between the players of Nick Kyrgios and Andy Murray. The game will be held in Centre court, London, England.Against each other, both players have played seven competitive games as the British man beat his rival of Australia six times and was defeated once a time. As we can see that, the absolute favourite in this game is the Australian Rocket with an amazing quota 1.30 odds and fall down. So, our opinion for this amazing contest is Over 22.5 Games it looks a very great choice for betting, that’s why we will take it undoubtedly. He was missing one year after receiving a very bad trauma, which made him give a great break and recover completely, furthermore, he may feel good and show enviable skills, but he is a little risky for his market, so we prefer to focus on Over / Under Games.

Our next game which we pick for today is coming from ATP, Australian Open between Nick Kyrgios and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The French Ace produced a terrific comeback to defeat Denis Shapovalov and set up a blockbuster third-round encounter with Nick Kyrgios. Tsonga lost to 18-year-old Shapovalov at the US Open last summer.
Now Tsonga must face another of the players looking to wrestle control of men’s tennis away from the old guard. Actually, those tennis players have played just one head to head game since 25th february 2017 (ATP Marseille, France), where Tsonga beat his opponent in three long sets with one tie break in the first set.
We cannot say that the Tsonga is a clear outsider here because he has very good service, backhand-slice and his baseline game is good as well but one is sure that Kyrgios will try not to lose this game. The game should be chased on + games handicap or over games. We prefer to play an over 38.5 games. Meanwhile, we expect to be witnesses to an amazing and spectacular game. Pinnacle Sports has amazing odds on this Game Line and we will take it undoubtedly.

Today we will be witnesses on a spectacular game between two big names of the tennis sphere - Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios. The game which we liked to predict and make a preview is coming from ATP Beijing, China, the final round between the Spaniard rocket and the Australian Rocket - Nick Kyrgios.
Currently, Rafa stays on the top position in ATP World Ranking, while the Australian talent - Nick Kyrgios seeds on the 19th position. It is a very interesting fact that, both rockets have just two head to head games and this is going to be their fifth challenge on a high level. Both players have an equal number of wins but after all, we expect to see Rafael Nadal to take a victory undoubtedly.
For this market the odds are too low that's why we prefer to focus on the Game market. As we know Rafael Nadal is a King of Clay. And this is the main reason to beat Kyrgios two time on a clay. But on the hard court, Nick Kyrgios has a big advantage because he is younger and his movement is fast and this can give him an opportunity to beat his rival in straight sets. We can be 100%sure that the Spaniard rocket will lift the trophy.
In our opinion, we expect to play this game under 23.5 Games as William Hill have interesting odds for this an amazing final round.

The big final of Cincinnati Masters is here and is fair to say that we’re very surprised how this tournament turned out. Both finalist tonight are reaching thus far for the very first time in their careers and for sure one of them will lift the title.
Kyrgios has been superb throughout the tournament, defeating Goffin, Dolgopolov, Karlovic, Nadal and Ferrer. And of course the most upsetting result was the convincing win over Nadal with 6-2, 7-5. However, he had much more trouble overcoming Ferrer late last night, in a match with two tiebreaks. We can see big improvement in the Australian’s game, he’s very confident and focused and hits hard. The only problem here is that you never know when he’ll lose his temper and do something stupid on the court.
Meanwhile, Dimitrov also had a hard time in his semi-final match against John Isner which also finished in 2 tiebreaks 7-6, 7-6, firing 10 aces while overcoming 14 blasts off of Isner. The Bulgarian has not dropped a single set in Cincinnati and is really important for him to remain focused in the biggest final of his career. But Dimitrov is notorious with his lack of mentality in the big games, and that could be his biggest let down tonight.
It’s a big moment for both players and we expect nothing less but an exciting battle on the court. They have faced each other once before, back in 2015 at Indian Wells round 2, where Dimitrov won with 6-7, 6-3, 6-7. However, since then both players have matured a lot in their game and it’s hard to predict a final outcome here. Maybe a tiebreak in the match looks like is granted, but of course the odds from the bookmakers are only around 1.50. So our final pick for this exciting final will be for Dimitrov to win.

Next semi-final of the ATP tournament in Miami on hard surface outdoors is between Nick Kyrgios Australia and Roger Federer from Switzerland. If Kyrgios can produce his best serving he can cause few problems to the Australian Open and Indian Wells Champion. This year he showed very good shape.
Roger Federer is currently 6th on the ATP ranking while Nick Kyrgios is on the 16th position, as this is their 3th head to head meeting. In our opinion Roger serves and moves much better on hard. Federer is at the moment, in an amazing form and if he plays this game on this level. Nick Kyrgios is in amazing form as well. Kyrgios is a player with big potential to become one of the best in the tennis game. He won the tournament in Marseille which is additional motivation for him and he is motivated to play well Miami.
Nick Kyrgios at the moment is the most pleasant surprise of the tournament in ATP Miami. Of course the Australian rocket has great service. But all we see here Kyrgios as the winner of this duel. Always bet365 give us incredible odds 5.00, and that is why we will take it. Our prediction for this incredible game is Nick Kyrgios to win in three sets 2-1.

A while ago, we agreed with some Lebanese Muslim religious figures that the Lebanese Christian figures’, particularly Bkirki’s, condemnation of the two explosions which rocked two mosques in Tripoli was insufficient. We also supported some Palestinian figures’ objection to mentioning Palestine in the Maronite bishops’ monthly statements. We think that both objections are proof of the importance of the Christian stance in standing in solidarity with Muslim citizens. They are also proof of the importance of the other party’s interest in the Christians’ opinion and stance. Solidarity is not an act accompanied with gratitude when it’s practiced among the people of one country. After all, if one body organ aches, all other organs ache too. This is the case if we are normal. We must have empathy towards one another and thus stand in solidarity with each other when something hurts us and also share everything that makes us happy.
Talking about solidarity takes us to the case of Syria. Christians in Syria are citizens who, like their fellow brothers and sisters, have been affected by the war. They also bear the duty of protecting their country and participating in the transition towards establishing a free and democratic country that takes them and their future away from the current dictatorial regime and away from the takfirist fundamentalist organizations which cannot establish a state or institutions and which don’t recognize diversity.
But, the urgent and worrying question today is on the stance of the Muslims, in both Lebanon and the Arab world, regarding the abduction of the two bishops Boulous Yazigi and Yohanna Ibrahim, the Mar Takla convent nuns in Maaloula, another three priests and monks and dozens of other Syrian Christians.
Condemnations in their simple forms do not change the situation on the ground. Proof to that is what confronted the issue of the Lebanese pilgrims who were abducted in Aazaz. They were released under the pressure of exchanged acts of violence and all under forms of political pressure. The Christians don’t have these capabilities available at the current time for many reasons. First of all, the victims are Syrians and are not directly linked to Lebanon. Also, Lebanon’s and Syria’s churches do not possess the militant means to abduct people and besiege embassies, airlines’ offices or other institutions. Or let’s just say they don’t desire to mobilize their sons towards this path.
The act required today should come from the Muslims themselves as individuals, institutions and states. Muslims must reject these terrorist operations or they will be considered supporters, facilitators or simply careless. Silence is considered akin to implicit approval while rejection calls for real stances and practical measures. The expansion of a logic which cancels the others will not only harm the Christians but will also harm all Muslims who do not approve of this suicidal approach.
Will real Muslims, sons of the tolerant religion, save themselves along with their brothers? Will they save whatever is left of the Arab civilization? ARA News’ policy.

THOMAS FINK Reviews
“Overpainted Thresholds,” a poem from
DIPSTICK(DIPTYCH) by Tom Beckett
(Marsh Hawk Press, New York, 2014)
TOM BECKETT’S “OVERPAINTED THRESHOLDS”
The exploration of poetics in “Overpainted Thresholds,” the first of two poems in Tom Beckett’s doubly-titled book
DIPSTICK(DIPTYCH) (Marsh Hawk P,
2014), is intimately connected with the poems’ and the volume’s
self-questioning titles. (One might argue that there is a two-page poem, “My
Robot,” folded within “Overpainted Thresholds,” thus making the book consist of
three poems.) DIPSTICK is crossed
out; is the poet therefore bracketing or suspending possibilities of
measurement? Does the wet line where the oil stops constitute only a shadowy
trace of presence? (DIPTYCH), is put
in parentheses: does this make it a parergon, an insignificant aside, or do the
parentheses call all the more attention to it?. “Overpainted Thresholds”
suggests the placing of a boundary under erasure, not through an eraser’s
dematerializing action that nevertheless leaves a residue, but through material
(paint) that obscures the physical marker beneath it. Oil on a dipstick
signifies an “overpainting” and a “threshold,” too. And the poem-title, “I
forgot,” which turns out to be the first two words of most sentences in this
catalogue-poem modeled on Joe Brainard’s “I Remember,” bespeaks the tracing of
a gap, a rupture in memory with consequences for narrative and for human
action. Both sides of this poetic diptych speak to one another as measurement
of displacement and displacement of measurement. As for the troubling third
term, the title “My Robot” refers both to a steely measurement of human
attributes and the question of whether technology really possesses “memory” or
an ability to “forget.”
Asterisks separate “Overpainted Thresholds’” irregularly sized sections, each of which has a varying stanza pattern featuring short-lined free-verse whose visual arrangement is center-justified. These stylistic features tend to promote both leaps from one set of tropes, images, and concepts to another and inevitable return to prior concerns. The “borders” between sections—or “thresholds” from one to the next—are neither arbitrary nor thematically self-evident.
Like Derrida, Beckett in this poem is obsessed with charting reversals and displacements of the binary opposition of inside/outside, which informs the notion of “borders” or “thresholds”: “Inside and/ Outside all/ The time” (20). If a “threshold” is “overpainted, stained/ Smudged, smeared,/ Scratched” and even “half-erased [as or by] pentimenti” (4), then
Borders aren’t
Always apparent.
Buffering…
Borders aren’t
Always available
Or mappable, documentable. (4-5)
Beckett is extremely interested in investigating the border(s) or lack of them between the speaking subject and others: “Your voices/ Shadow mine” (4). To “shadow” is to practice surveillance, crossing borders. But the “you” does not merely do this to an “I”; as other sentences in the poem suggest, it is understood to be reciprocal. As in Bakhtin’s Dialogism, each member of the dialogue both respond to prior utterances and anticipates latter utterances of the other. And in keeping with Bakhtin’s notion of “double-voiced discourse,” as well as Lacan’s concept of how the speaking subject constitutes him/herself through access to pre-existent signifiers in the Symbolic Order, Beckett meaningfully pluralizes “voice” to indicate that each individual as communicator can be represented as the locus of prior and ongoing utterances from other sources. In this sense: “The noise in me/ Is undimmed” (6) and “I am/ A series/ Of interruptions” (20). While “interruptions” surely include events like “a seizure” (11) that can “tear” one “apart” and “rearrange” him differently (12), the interruptions of one voice by another are a two-way crossing of borders. The “threshold” from one “self” to another is continually “overpainted,” and it is not always clear whether early “layers” are visible through the top coat. “Voice-overs” (6), then, are not merely a recording technique designed to create a unified polyphony; they may be a competition for vocal space.
At certain points, Beckett goes as far as to question the I/you split and boundaries altogether:
No thing
Isn’t connected
To some
Other thing.
To some
Unexpected thing.
Separations are
Social constructs. (18)
The repetition of “thing” paradoxically makes the discourse more abstract and less indicative of the materiality of objects. Beckett’s poetry in general cultivates the “unexpected” as a welcome, if sometimes anxiety-producing disruption of a complacent ensemble of demarcations. Language’s separations such as “This you,/ This I” can be recognized as “most/ Peculiar constructions” (6) only when one follows the poet in subjecting what is most familiar to defamiliarization. One of Beckett’s “voices” knows that definitions, founded on distinctions, are ever dangerous: “I’m not/ Protected against/ 500,000 definitions” (19). Yet he also recognizes that even the continual crossing of borders and overpainting of thresholds, the conversion of an outside to an inside, does not override long internalized perceptions of constructed boundaries as truth. Such perceptions mark the psychodynamics of human interaction: “Wherever I/ Am you’re/ Someplace else” (12). This is especially true, of course, when what appears to be communication with another really functions as one part of the socially constituted split self trying to use language to cross the border line to the other: “Talking to/ Oneself in/ Speaking to another// Is a kind/ Of reverse ventriloquism” (6-7). But which of the self’s “voices” is addressing which interior “ear”?
“My Robot,” the possible poem within the poem, precisely allegorizes the self’s attempted conversation with itself. After the robot that has “just arrived/ In the mail” (16) “emerges grinning” from a “package” that “opens from within” (17). The “owner” crosses the threshold to confinement: “I take/ Its place/ In the box.” Then, the newly boxed subject confers quasi-human identity on the newly mobilized robot:
My robot
Opens the box
I am in.
Our eyes lock.
“Happy Birthday,”
I say. (17)
The social contract may say that the personality-enhanced (?) simulacrum of the human being is the servant of the “real” being. However, when the “I” recognizes this “thing” as a mirror image, he seems “locked” into suffering something like the mythological fate of Narcissus. The speaking subject has engineered his own reification, though a few pages later, we encounter a linguistifying sentence that makes this reading seem reductive, “My Robot/ Is one hard/ To parse sentence,” and then a challenge for us to “try…/ to diagram/ [Their] relationship” (20). In fact, whereas Narcissus drowned and was “reified” into a flower, contemporary consciousness of self-reification can lead to a breaking of the spell.
The ever-questing, ever-questioning philosopher-trickster-tropester Beckett ends “Overpainted Thresholds” with a wry allusion to Lacan’s assertion in his “Seminar on ‘The Purloined Letter’” that every letter arrives “at its destination”:
Messages are
Being sent
But are
Rarely received. (24)
The poem’s final word is ambiguous. Is “to receive” equal to “to understand”? Yes and no: the reader does not fully grasp the meaning of this last “message.” For Lacan, the arrival of a letter at its “proper” “destination” does not mean that the addressee knows how to read it—that is, understand how to follow the itinerary of the signifier, the stages in a metonymic chain that ends only by arbitrary fiat. He does not necessarily grant that any character in Poe’s tale, even the private detective Dupin, can fully trace this itinerary, though Dupin comes closest by far. In fact, the discontinuous but thematically recursive form of Beckett’s poem resembles a metonymic chain, and his probing of thresholds, boundaries, interiors/exteriors keeps exposing the difficulties of trying to justify one’s action of drawing or erasing lines.
