"Close your mouth."
It may sound like an odd thing to be said by a NASA Flight Director on such a momentous occasion but the intention of the message was well meant. Inside the Russian-built Soyuz TMA-07M capsule, three men were falling to Earth, and in order to make the landing more comfortable, they had to clench their jaws five seconds before impact. Close your mouth, indeed.
While on the International Space Station, fifty-three-year-old, Canadian-born NASA Commander Chris Hadfield, who now probably has the most famous moustache in the known universe, would carry out experiments and live-stream them to an audience of curious kids back on terra firma. The videos taught the kids about the wonders of space and what it's like to live in a gravity-free environment. Tears don't fall in space; they just hang around your eyes like a blob of clear jelly. Astronauts sleep in a sleeping bag with arm holes and attached to the wall. If you wring out a soaking wet tea towel the water will stick to your hand like a clingy octopus—that's surface tension for you! It was during these videos that I heard the most wondrous sound in the universe—a chorus of Oooohs and Aaaahs from the kids. It was a sound that made me think that everything was going to be just fine. Those kids were inspired and intrigued. They were interested in science.

I bleeping love science, and because of that I must give my apologies to Professor Jason Jacobs as I skipped class on Monday the 13th of May. I stayed home to see Commander Hadfield and Flight Engineers Tom Marshburn and Roman Romanenko re-enter our atmosphere and land safely in a featureless field in Kazakhstan after spending time on the ISS. It was Hadfield's third mission in space and it lasted 146 days and 2336 orbits around the planet. The Amazing Race, eat your heart out.
I sat in my Star Trek-esque, ergonomically designed chair and watched the pixels on my seventeen inch laptop screen bring me the future. I watched as the iconic televisions at NASA's Mission Control displayed a computer generated representation of what the Soyuz capsule was doing. I cursed whenever the dreaded swirly buffering thing appeared. I sent a tweet to Commander Hadfield commemorating the event even though he didn't have access to Twitter in the capsule:
"Taking the day off Uni to watch @Cmdr Hadfield come back to Earth"
I'm sure he'll get back to me when he has time. Someone said that the NASA astronaut will never have to pay for a drink in his life. I would relish the opportunity to make that so.
After thirty minutes or so of audio updates accompanied by the aforementioned images and bios of the three falling men, the capsule was finally in our atmosphere and visible from land. Whenever I watch launches and landings live I can't help but think of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster back in 1986. I remember seeing on television over and over again, those twisting plumes of smoke against a clear blue sky and fiery debris falling a mere seventy-three seconds after launch. The smiles on people in the crowd at Kennedy Space Centre in Florida slowly changed as the realisation of what had happened set in. And the heartbreaking end to the mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia which was destroyed during re-entry in 2003. It plummeted to the ground at over 27,000 kilometres per hour all because of a small, dislodged piece of foam. That was not going to happen today.
A giant parachute strung to the Soyuz capsule fought vehemently against Newton's pesky forces of gravity. It hung suspended in the middle of the screen as the camera tilted
When it landed, it looked like something out of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon; I almost expected a comic cloud of dust upon impact. I, like many viewers I'm sure, stopped holding my breath.

Their fall from space took just under an hour. Keen to preserve the capsule's descent, I took regular screen captures of the images on my laptop. Sure there would be much clearer pictures on the internet but these were my pictures. I can say "I was there… sort of," while frantically pressing Ctrl+Prnt Scrn and pasting the picture into paint. I saved the pictures along with other screen captures of various other missions I'd watched live over the years—of numerous Atlas and Delta rocket launches, of the Space Shuttle Atlantis' final launch, and of its final era-ending return. I was overwhelmed when Atlantis' wheels screeched as they met the tarmac for the last time—sad to see the Shuttle's mission come to an end, and uncertain of the program's future in the nation that won the Space Race. The only way up now is to hitch a ride with the Russians. Oh, the irony.
I think everyone is born a scientist. We are inherently curious about our surroundings from the moment we become aware that we even have surroundings. When I was a kid my Dad taught me geometry and I learnt Pi to forty decimal places: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971. Aww yeah.
But my love for math and geometry went by the wayside shortly after I discovered boys. I often wonder if there was any correlation between those two events—and if I were a mathematician I could probably tell you the answer. Added to that, numbers on the page get mixed up in my head so I followed the path to the Arts side.
But there may be hope for me yet. As Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Rock God of Astrophysics, notes, a correlation exists between art and science. During one of his goose bump-inducing speeches, Tyson brought up the topic of Van Gogh's Starry Night and used the painting to describe the symbiotic relationship between these two fields of study and said that science, "does not become main-stream until the artists embrace the fruits of those discoveries." Art brings science to the masses. Science inspires art, and in turn, art inspires science. In the film Contact is a scene when Jodie Foster's character leaves our solar system and has difficulty in finding the right words to describe what she sees, "They should have sent a poet," she says. On his last day in the ISS, Commander Hadfield offered us a video of him singing "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. He was singing and floating "in a tin can," looking out the window at the planet below; it was as if the song was written for him for that moment. They had sent a poet into space after all.
One evening in March in 1986, the grass 100m running track of my primary school, St Bernard's on Mount Tamborine, was transformed into a makeshift city. Halley's Comet was making its seventy-six-yearly voyage past Earth and the whole school community pitched tents under the Milky Way to watch the once-in-a-life-time event. With necks craned, we all watched the show.
The next morning I was back at home, my Mum was outside at the Eastern end of our house. Twenty-seven years later, I can still recall her voice proclaiming, "I can see the comet!" I rushed outside; cold air stung my cheeks and my nose. It was still dawn; the icy frost on the grass was fighting a losing battle against the invasion of the morning. The light was slowly turning pink from the sun but persistent stars stood their ground higher up in the still-night sky. I didn't need to use a telescope to see a small white line about a centimetre long which stood out amid the blushing backdrop. It was Halley's Comet. The light from its tail faded into the atmospheric gasses that make stars twinkle and wishes granted. I stood in awe and wondered what it must be like to live up there.

Commander Hadfield took photographs of the Earth from the International Space Station and posted them on Twitter. He captured peculiar patterns in rock formations and rivers writhing like snakes. At night, cities glowed like fireflies in the dark; from above mountain ranges looked like landscapes from B-Grade science fiction films. He shared with us a vision of the world free of borders and filled with beauty. Now, he shares with us pictures of the many tests he has endured since his return, all in the name of science. One day, fourteen vials of his blood are drawn. One MRI scan lasts seventy-five minutes. A gadget attached to his hand measures his body's readjustment to gravity for researchers in a Japanese university.

Astronauts have trouble getting used to those pesky forces of gravity again after being space for so long. In 0G, you can just let go of your pencil and it will stay there. If you try that on Earth, it comes crashing down. Replace 'pencil' with 'hot cup of coffee' and you should break the habit soon enough. Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov holds the record for the longest time spent in space. After an astonishing 437 days and 18 hours in 0G, I can only imagine the number of coffee cups he accidentally dropped on the floor after his return.
Hadfield, Marshburn, and Romanenko's replacements are already safely on board the International Space Station and Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin has taken over command along with NASA astronaut Karen Hyberg, and astronaut Luca Parmitano from Italy. I can't wait to see what they do up there.
During his 2011 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said that the United States of America needed to have a "Sputnik moment," and he was going to invest money in research and development, science and technology. I'm sure that plenty of those kids watching Commander Hadfield's videos will be up to the challenge.

Outwit, Outplay, Outlast: The Final Girl.
Just When You Thought It Was Safe…


Combine near record gold prices with a recession that's got people scrambling for cash and you create a vibrant market for a dozen mail-in smelters that promise to pay "top dollar" for your clunky old jewelry. These companies say they'll melt down your ugly gold chains and send you a check for the gold value.
The problem is that people get a fraction of the gold value--far less than what they could receive by bringing the jewelry to an old-fashioned pawn shop. Consumer complaints about the sorry returns have been reported extensively in the Los Angeles Times and in a half-dozen online complaint sites.
After the Consumerist, an online forum for consumer news and tips, took on Cash4Gold for being the granddaddy of these anti-consumer practices earlier this year, the site got named in a lawsuit demanding that it knock off the negative news and stop reporting the claims of a former Cash4Gold employee, who detailed a host of smarmy practices.
Instead of backing down, the Consumerist sicked the mystery shoppers employed by their sister company Consumer Reports on them. The result is quite a revealing read and well worth checking out.

Cyclooxygenase- and lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoids in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with scleroderma lung disease: an imbalance between proinflammatory and antiinflammatory lipid mediators.
Kowal-Bielecka O1, Kowal K, Distler O, Rojewska J, Bodzenta-Lukaszyk A, Michel BA, Gay RE, Gay S, Sierakowski S.
Medical University of Bialystok, Bialystok, Poland.
Eicosanoids play a key role in the regulation of inflammation and fibrosis. Recently we showed that levels of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX)-derived proinflammatory/profibrotic leukotrienes are elevated in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from patients with scleroderma lung disease (SLD). The present study was undertaken to investigate whether increased levels of leukotrienes are balanced by the antiinflammatory/antifibrotic cyclooxygenase (COX)- and 15-LOX-derived eicosanoids in the lungs of patients with SLD.
Levels of 5-LOX-derived leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)), COX-derived prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), and 15-LOX-derived 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) and lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) in BAL fluid from systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with SLD (n = 32) and without SLD (n = 16) and from healthy individuals (n = 12) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Levels of LTB(4) (mean +/- SEM 248 +/- 29 pg/ml) and PGE(2) (51 +/- 10 pg/ml) in SSc patients with SLD were significantly higher compared with patients without SLD (LTB(4) 119 +/- 35 pg/ml, PGE(2) 17 +/- 3 pg/ml; P < 0.05 for both) and with healthy controls (85 +/- 12 pg/ml and 19 +/- 2 pg/ml, respectively; P < 0.05 for both). Accordingly, the mean +/- SEM PGE(2):LTB(4) ratio was similar in SSc patients with SLD (0.30 +/- 0.05), SSc patients without SLD (0.29 +/- 0.07), and controls (0.31 +/- 0.07). In contrast, levels of 15-HETE and LXA(4) in patients with SLD did not differ significantly from levels in patients without SLD or in controls. The ratio of LXA(4):LTB(4) in SLD patients (0.16 +/- 0.03) was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than that in patients without SLD (0.40 +/- 0.10) or controls (0.34 +/- 0.08).
Increased production of LTB(4) in the lungs of patients with SLD is not balanced by an up-regulation of 15-LOX-derived antiinflammatory/antifibrotic eicosanoids such as 15-HETE or LXA(4). Targeting the 5-LOX/15-LOX balance may be of practical value in the treatment of SLD.

Timothy E. Wise presents the first book to focus specifically on the musical content of yodeling in our culture. He shows that yodeling serves an aesthetic function in musical texts. A series of chronological chapters analyzes this musical tradition from its earliest appearances in Europe to its incorporation into a range of American genres and beyond. Wise posits the reasons for yodeling's changing status in our music. How and why was yodeling introduced into professional music making in the first place? What purposes has it served in musical texts? Why was it expunged from classical music? Why did it attach to some popular music genres and not others? Why does yodeling now appear principally at the margins of mainstream tastes?
To answer such questions, Wise applies the perspectives of critical musicology, semiotics, and cultural studies to the changing semantic associations of yodeling in an unexplored repertoire stretching from Beethoven to Zappa. This volume marks the first musicological and ideological analysis of this prominent but largely ignored feature of American musical life.
Maintaining high scholarly standards but keeping the general reader in mind, the author examines yodeling in relation to ongoing cultural debates about singing, music as art, social class, and gender. Chapters devote attention to yodeling in nineteenth-century classical music, the nineteenth-century Alpine-themed song in America, the Americanization of the yodel, Jimmie Rodgers, and cowboy yodeling, among other topics.
TIMOTHY E. WISE, Manchester, United Kingdom, was born and reared in Texas and is a senior lecturer in musicology at the University of Salford, England. A member of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, he has published work in Radical Musicology, American Music, the Musical Quarterly, Popular Music, and the Journal of American Folklore.

La disubbidienza è un film del 1981 diretto da Aldo Lado, tratto dal romanzo omonimo di Alberto Moravia.

Trama
Sul finire della seconda guerra mondiale, a Venezia il giovane Luca vive il suo difficile rapporto con il padre e con tutta la sua famiglia, borghese e fascista. Sposa la causa partigiana, dalla quale rimane affascinato, e partecipa attivamente alla lotta per la liberazione, con una forte speranza che il mondo possa cambiare.
Le sue attese vengono però infrante, e pertanto vive una profonda delusione che lo porta alla ricerca della sua autodistruzione. Colpito da polmonite, infatti, egli rifiuta le cure, finché nella sua vita non appaiono due figure femminili, un'istitutrice e un'infermiera.
Soprattutto quest'ultima, forse anche di lui innamorata, lo cura con amore in tutti i sensi aprendogli anche le porte del sesso e riuscendo a salvarlo.

Happy Tuesday! Here are the newest Weekly Deals for you! I'm excited to see two of the products (Elegant Butterfly Punch and Honeycomb Embossing Folder) we are using at my Card Club workshops this month are part of the deals!
Look at this elegant edge that I die cut a piece of card stock with one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits Dies. So pretty!!!


My first big and convertible car. Features steering on HOG and steering wheel, gearbox with shifter linkages, independent suspensions, convertible top and fake engine V10.
This car was designed to manage to create a working supercar at 1:8 scale. At the beginning, I decided to built lot of features on the supercar but the main was a HOG behind the seat for playability. The problem was that the gearbox is placed on the front between the seats, that is why the HOG was difficult to place here. In order to avoid the by-pass of the gearbox with lot of gears (you can see a example here) I chose to develop a new gearbox based on shifter linkage system, which allows me to put the steering axle on the center of gearbox.
Hello Nico, how did you make the gearbox shifter linkages?
When shall you make instructions?
i can't bulid a suspension car. can you help me?


Between Santiago's mainstream music scene dominated by reggaeton and Cumbia, its alternative music scene becoming famous through politically minded hip-hop, and its classic music scene idolizing activist folk heroes, one can easily miss a multitude of independent musicians that fall somewhere outside these categories. Enter Laurela, an undiscovered gem in Santiago's budding music scene.
Originally from Valdivia, Loreto "Laurela" Awad moved to Santiago in 2015 to study music. Aside from a handful of singing lessons encouraged by her aunt when she was young, she is completely self-taught and in some regards, a blast from the past. With lilting vocals accompanied by the double bass, guitar and flute of her Valdivia-based band, Ensamble Laurelillo, it isn't hard to imagine stumbling upon them performing in a dark, smoke-filled speakeasy during the swing era.
While listening to her band Ensamble Laurelillo, or her solo work, an attentive listener may pick out her primary influences such as Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse and Joni Mitchell, but at the same time her sound is very much her own. Her vocals are fluid but controlled, relaxed but powerful and undeniably beautiful.
Although her solo project with guitar or ukulele in hand could certainly fit right into the contemporary singer-songwriter niche, it is also heavily rooted in classic folk traditions.
She refers to her style as "romantic," and "sentimental." There are no synthetically produced beats or auto-tune, no distortion, or effects. It's acoustic, organic, honest and from the heart. Perhaps that's why it's such a breath of fresh air. "When I play by myself, I always record using cassettes." To Laurela, the lo-fi approach is "valorization of an artist expressing their feelings." It is emotion, raw and unfiltered.
In that way, her music is reminiscent of a different era transporting the listener back in time before digital recordings and high speed internet.
Laurela's first EP, which she hopes to release by the end of the year, was originally conceived during her travels in Thailand working as an English teacher. "It's hard to communicate when you can't speak the same language as most of the people you meet. I ended up spending a lot of time with other foreigners and by myself. In those alone times I would write, just lyrics." When she returned to Chile she began to put music to the words.
The central theme of her EP is a character named "Esther," somewhat of an alter-ego or future self. "I imagine myself in the future with more wisdom talking to me and telling me everything is going to be alright. When I'm singing I like to go out of myself. I like to change characters, and every experience gives me new characters."
While she has aspirations to be play music professionally, for now she is focusing on finishing her degree in music. If you are lucky, you may stumble upon Laurela playing sets at local bars with her friends. But make no mistake, when she is ready she will take Santiago by storm.
Don't forget to keep your eye out for Laurela's EP "El Rey de lo Incierto" which she hopes to launch in October or November. Also check out her videos on Youtube and bask in the beautiful glow of pure musical expression.

The first Academic Year jobs will be posted the 1st Monday in August every year.
As positions are posted, students may apply for each position that they are interested in, using SES (Student Employment System).
Positions will be posted for five working days before applications are forwarded to the departments by The Career Center staff.
Applications will be sent in order of federal Work-Study and date stamp. Departments will not receive all applications.
Departments will contact students directly to schedule interviews.
Apply for multiple positions. Continue to apply for positions until you receive a job offer – it is not unusual for one student to apply for 20 positions.
Apply for positions within the first five days a position is posted.
List your cell phone # in the "local" phone # field on the application.
Respond to calls or emails for interviews immediately. If you do not respond within two working days, employing departments may move on to other candidates.
Prepare for the interview and dress appropriately.
The Career Center will forward applications to departments, which will then contact selected students directly for interviews.
Reminder: Not every application is forwarded to the hiring department. Applications are forwarded by the Career Center staff. Supervisors may only interview and hire students whose names have been forwarded by the Career Center staff. Supervisors may only interview and hire students whose names have been forwarded by The Career Center staff.
When a department informs a student of their wish to hire them, the student must come to The Career Center, located in Roscoe West Hall 102, during working hours (hours can be found on the Career Center page).
They will be asked to complete their Electronic I-9. This form requires the student to present original forms of identification. Acceptable documents can be found here.
Students must fill out and submit their Electronic I-9 prior to the first day on the job.
Students are REQUIRED to apply for direct deposit through the payroll office.
Student workers are compensated based on their level of employment. There will no longer be any longevity raises. There will only be cost of living raises which will be determined by the State and only level 1 student workers will be affected this year.
All checks can be picked up in payroll office on Fridays only from 8:30-4:30pm at Administrative Services, Building Room 102.
Timesheet issues can be addressed at the link, how to fill out timesheets and questions regarding deductions.
During summer, TCNJ students do not need to be taking courses, but do need to be a TCNJ student who has not graduated in December or May.
Student Employment during the summer is restricted to TCNJ students only through the Student Employment System. May TCNJ graduates are considered NON-TCNJ students and must apply as such. NON-TCNJ students can view jobs in JOBX but must apply directly to the supervisor. They DO NOT APPLY ONLINE. If hired, the students will go to HR and be processed as supplemental employees. See section on Non-TCNJ Summer Student Employment/Hiring Procedure.
New and returning Non-TCNJ summer student workers must be hired as supplemental employees and go through TCNJ Human Resources Office. Please contact Career Center if you have questions at extension x2161 or contact Student Employment at stuempl@tcnj.edu for assistance.
All Positions must be posted on-line, ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!
Employers sign in at JOBX using your Unix Login and Password.
The Career Staff will review postings within three working days of receipt.
Postings will be approved based on compliance with College policies on Affirmative Action/EEOC.
The Career Center has worked in collaboration with Human Resources to review policies related to the maximum amount of student employment hours per week. This is particularly important in making sure we are in compliance with the Affordable Care Act.
The maximum amount of hours per week a TCNJ student can work is listed below.
Please note if a student is working in more than one student worker position, the student will need to stay within these same parameters; for example if a student is working during the academic year for 2 offices the maximum amount of hours per week would be, 15 TOTAL. After a student is hired, it will be important for supervisors to ask the student worker if they are working for another office on campus and the amount of hours they are working. This way the employer is aware of the amount of hours a student can actually work.
If you are hiring a summer supplemental worker the maximum amount of hours per week would be 35 hours.
Overtime is defined as working above 40 hours in a one week period (Saturday to Friday).
Any student working more than 5 hours consecutively will take a minimum 30 minute unpaid break that must be reflected on their timesheet.
Students must submit an accurate timesheet for each pay period worked. Students should not combine hours for multiple pay periods on one timesheet.
Keeping in mind that all student workers are "at will employees," if a student employee has a work-related grievance, the student is encouraged to meet with her/his supervisor to discuss the employment issue. An earnest attempt should be made by both parties to resolve the problem.
Termination decisions are made by the employing department. Students who feel that they are being wrongfully terminated should exhaust all departmental appeal processes prior to pursuing a Career Center review. If the student does not feel the situation has been satisfactorily resolved, she/he can set up an appointment to discuss this grievance with the Coordinator of Student Employment.
Departments must inform students of this policy upon hiring a student and again when the student becomes engaged in a student conduct case.
Should a student conduct issue result in a student's termination, the student may appeal through the department.
If the department upholds the decision, though students are typically able to appeal termination decisions through the Career Center, decisions made on the basis of student conduct outcomes, will not be grounds for appeal.
The final resolution of the student employee work- related grievance, other than those linked to student conduct, is decided by the Director of the Career Center.
In cases involving EEO claims the Coordinator will refer the student to the appropriate office. (See College policies below).
All new student employees are now required to complete their I-9 electronically using e-Verify.
