La península de Taimir () és una península de Sibèria que forma la part situada més al nord d'Àsia. Es troba entre el golf del Ienissei del mar de Kara i el golf de Khàtanga del mar de Laptev. En gran part es correspon amb el districte de Taimíria, al territori de Krasnoiarsk, de la Federació Russa.

Aproximadament fa uns 800 km d'amplada. El llac Taimir i les muntanyes Birranga es troben dins la península de Taimir.

La tundra d'aquesta zona constitueix un model científic pels biòlegs gràcies a la quasi perfecta zonació latitudinal que presenta aquí la tundra, ja que el relleu és molt homogeni. A l'extrem nord peninsular hi ha una reduïda zona que està classificada com desert polar.

A la península de Taimir hi visqué, fins fa 2000 anys, la darrera població natural de bou mesquer fora de les d'Amèrica del Nord. reintroduïda amb èxit el 1975 com també a l'illa Wrangel i altres llocs de l'Àrtic.

El cap Txeliüskin, el punt més al nord d'Euràsia, es troba a l'extrem septentrional de la península a uns 78° N de latitud.

Població

Actualment hi viuen unes 30.000 persones. Entre l'ètnia Nganasan encara es mantenien pràctiques xamàniques en ple .

Economia

L'empresa MMC Norilsk Nickel hi té explotacions mineres. A la ciutat de Norilsk, que està situada al sud de la península, s'hi fan aliatges de níquel. El mineral obtingut de les mines es transporta per tren al port fluvial del riu Ienissei a Dudinka i des d'allí en vaixell a Múrmansk i altres ports.

Clima
El clima és continental subàrtic o ja àrtic. El mar de Laptev, que es troba al nord de la península, roman glaçat entre setembre i juny de mitjana. L'estiu és fresc i breu, les temperatures de juliol varien de sud a nord entre els 12 °C i els 2 °C mentre que les temperatures de gener són més homogènies, al voltant dels −14 °C.

School is often seen as a sort of trial period before students are able to progress into the "real world," where the skills they acquired in adolescence are utilized in more mature situations.
There are many mediums through which to attain these attributes including classes, basic social situations and parents. However, in high school, one has an array of clubs and organizations to pledge allegiance to.
From sports like football and soccer, to academic clubs, such as Mu Alpha Theta and National Honor Society, every activity is unique in their own way. Yet, they all share a few distinct commonalities, chief among them being their student- led designations.
One thing that many high schools, including CCHS, pride themselves on, is the fact that students serve integral roles in the function of the extracurriculars they are involved in while on campus and that they are able to, with supervision, tackle some of the most pressing issues themselves. In this, they are able to learn about interacting with others in a pleasant, productive way while completing tasks, small and large alike, that they would not know how to do otherwise, such as financial paperwork.
This assertion makes it easy to believe that students are learning how to run the clubs efficiently and with ethicacy, yet, with so much liberty, in some cases that sentiment is heavily tainted by age-induced corruption or inability.
Therefore, the age-old debate of whether sponsors should take more responsibility or less in their respective extracurriculars is brought about.
In a club where the sponsor actively supervises and aids heavily in decision-making, the students are not able to make their own mistakes and effectively learn in order to dispel them in the future. As for the member implications, they may feel as though their voices are going unheard and that an adult is making their decisions for them.
But when sponsors take a hands-off approach and leave students to their own devices, blatant favoritism, unprofessionalism and superiority reign supreme and the members within the activity are subjected to an environment that could in part ruin their high school experience. Inclusivity and communication are absolute key when running a successful club and when they are lost, the club risks falling apart as members and officers become disgruntled.
Thus, a commonplace between the two, where checks and balances are established, might make the perfect compromise as sponsors need to oscillate between supervising the leadership of the club while still being somewhat lenient in the decisions they let students make.
One option could be a system of complaint within the club that allows members to speak directly to sponsors about any grievances they have regarding the management skills of the leadership of the club. In this way, a more governmental, triangular flow of power is achieved with the members, leaders and supervisor all having a somewhat equal say in what happens within the activity they all take part in. This way all entities can be virtually satisfied with their commitment and no one can feel left behind.
Overall, there are many different ways through which students can gain experience in high school and one of the most rewarding is through running school clubs and organizations. However, how will students ever learn the correct skills they need for the future unless club and organization structures are examined and enhanced?

Q: No widget drag/drop in Qt Creator after Blender-startup My problem is that every time I start Blender 2.63 in 12.04 (64-bit), I am not able to drag and drop widgets in Qt Creator anymore, even after closing Blender again.
I have tried restarting Qt, Compiz and Unity (at least I think I did by executing compiz --replace and unity; I'm quite new to Linux) with no effect. After logging out and back in, everything is back to normal.
Is there any workaround for this problem?
Qt Creator is version 2.4.1 with Qt 2.8

A: I don't have an answer, but I can confirm this bug. There are other applications, where drag and drop no longer works once blender was started (Clementing, Kmail). I suppose blender does something it shouldn't do, but the other applications are at fault too. They should not get that easily confused by a misbehaving program.
The only workaround I know is to log out and back in.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cediranib (cediranib maleate) plus lenalidomide. (Phase I) II. Determine the progression-free survival rates of single agent cediranib in patients with iodine refractory, unresectable differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who have evidence of disease progression within 12 months of study enrollment. (Phase II) III. Determine the progression-free survival rates of cediranib in combination with lenalidomide in patients with iodine refractory, unresectable DTC who have evidence of disease progression within 12 months of study enrollment. (Phase II) IV. Compare the progression-free survival curves of single agent cediranib to combination therapy with cediranib with lenalidomide. (Phase II) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate of cediranib in combination with lenalidomide in patients with iodine refractory, unresectable DTC who have evidence of disease progression within 12 months of study enrollment. (Phase I) II. Determine the toxicity, duration of response, progression free survival, and overall survival in patients with DTC treated with cediranib plus lenalidomide. (Phase I) III. Determine response rates and duration of response, early tumor size changes, the toxicity, and overall survival in patients with DTC treated with cediranib or cediranib plus lenalidomide. (Phase II) IV. Determine whether the presence of v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (B-RAF) or V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma (K-RAS) mutations in patients with DTC predict response to cediranib or cediranib plus lenalidomide. (Phase II) OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study. Phase I: Patients receive cediranib maleate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 or 1-28. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Phase II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM A: Patients receive cediranib maleate PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients receive cediranib maleate PO and lenalidomide PO as in Phase I. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.
OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the negative predictive value of PET/CT imaging based upon pathologic sampling of the neck lymph nodes in patients with head and neck cancer planning to undergo N0 neck surgery. - Determine the potential of PET/CT imaging to change treatment. Secondary - Estimate the sensitivity and diagnostic yield of PET/CT imaging for detecting occult metastasis in the clinical N0 neck (both by neck and lymph node regions) or other local sites. - Determine the effect of other factors (e.g., tumor size, location, secondary primary tumors, or intensity of FDG uptake) that can lead to identification of subsets of patients that could potentially forego neck dissection or that can provide preliminary data for subsequent studies. - Compare the cost-effectiveness of using PET/CT imaging for staging head and neck cancer vs current good clinical practices. - Evaluate the incidence of occult distant body metastasis discovered by whole-body PET/CT imaging. - Correlate PET/CT imaging findings with CT/MRI findings and biomarker results. - Evaluate the quality of life of these patients, particularly of those patients whose management could have been altered by imaging results. - Evaluate PET/CT imaging and biomarker data for complementary contributions to metastatic disease prediction. - Compare baseline PET/CT imaging and biomarker data with 2-year follow up as an adjunct assessment of their prediction of recurrence, disease-free survival, and overall survival. - Determine the proportion of neck dissections that are extended (i.e., additional levels that clinicians intend to dissect beyond the initial surgery plan) based on local-reader PET/CT imaging findings shared with the surgeon before dissection. - Estimate the optimum cutoff value of standardized uptake values for diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT imaging. - Evaluate the impact of PET/CT imaging on the N0 neck across different tumor subsites (defined by anatomic location). OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F 18-PET/CT imaging. Approximately 14 days later, patients undergo unilateral or bilateral neck dissection. Patients complete quality-of-life questionnaires at baseline and at 1, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Patients undergo blood and tissue sample collection periodically for biomarker analysis. Patients are followed up periodically for up to 2 years after surgery.

ISLAMABAD, PANJAB, SINDH
8 suspects in Safoora carnage arrested
ISLAMABAD: The Senate Standing Committee on Interior was informed on Monday that 14 people allegedly involved in Karachi's Safoora carnage had been identified and eight of them arrested.
Inspector General of Police, Sindh, Ghulam Haider Jamali also informed a meeting of the committee presided over by its chairman, former interior minister Rehman Malik, that about 25 people were involved in the incident.
He said the accused were highly qualified, some having masters and PhD degrees in Islamic Studies, and they were influenced by the Caliphate philosophy of late religious scholar Dr Israr Ahmed. They wanted to implement the 'Islamic Caliphate' in the country, he added.
Mr Jamali said the accused had formed their own terrorist group and remained consecutively associated with banned militant organisations like Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, Al Qaeda and the self-styled Islamic State.
He did not clarify how someone could be associated with Al Qaeda and its rival 'Islamic State'.
During investigation, the group confessed to its involvement in 37 incidents of terrorism.
It was also involved in cases of target-killings and kidnapping for ransom in the interior of Sindh and in Karachi.
Sindh IG police informs Senate committee that the accused were associated with banned outfits
The IG said the head of the group and mastermind of its activities Abdul Aziz was a resident of Kotri, Jamshoro. He fled to Syria. The other mastermind was Azhar Minhas who belonged to Jhelum.
He said Abdul Aziz had himself surveyed for about two months the Safoora Goth area before carrying out the carnage. A number of members of the Shia community were on his group's hit list.
The group used to communicate through laptops and never used cellphones. Six laptops were found in their possession. GSM locators provided by the federal government made it possible for the Sindh police to track down the accused.
The Sindh police chief said the Lashkar-i-Jhangvi had killed former SP Chaudhry Aslam, but a member of the committee questioned the claim saying it had been done by a prayer leader of the locality.
Mr Jamali told the committee that there was a decrease of 80 per cent in acts of terrorism in interior of Sindh and in Karachi and cases of murder had dropped by 53pc. He said 186 people accused of being involved in Lyari gang war had been killed in police encounters.
The IG said 180 police officials had scarified their lives in incidents of terrorism in Sindh. A total 167 incidents of terrorism and 816 gang wars took place in the province this year.
The meeting was informed that some doctors providing treatment to injured Afghan nationals in hospitals of Karachi and other facilitators had been arrested.
Sindh Home Secretary Mumtaz Soomro said 18 terrorists had been hanged in Sindh since the lifting of moratorium on death sentence.
Brigadier Amjad Basharat of the Anti-Narcotics Force informed the meeting that production of poppy had almost been eliminated in Pakistan.
He said 329kg of heroin was confiscated in a raid in Rawat, near Islamabad.
The committee's chairman recommended that the blood test prior to admission to educational institution should be made mandatory to detect any kind of addiction among students.

'The Expendables 3′ Trailer: Stallone and the Gang Are Back For More
Call us suckers, but going by the new trailer for 'The Expendables 3,' we think this may be the one that finally gets it right. Both 'The Expendables' and 'The Expendables 2' were well-meaning but sloppy nostalgia exercises, but we're hoping that the third time is the charm and that this one will be a well-meaning and actually entertaining nostalgia exercise.
After the direct-to-DVD cheapness of the previous films, 'The Expendables 3' actually resembles a real movie, at least in these brief glimpses. That may be the guiding hand of relatively new director Patrick Hughes, taking the reins from Sylvester Stallone and Simon West. Despite the all of old the senior citizens on screen, this is a series that desperately needed young blood behind the camera.
This trailer realizes that people come to these movies to see past-their-prime movie stars, po-faced MMA fighters and Terry motherf---in' Crews bounce off each other (and snap each other's necks and blow each other's heads off with shotguns and so on). This is less of a movie and more of a tribute to the dinosaurs of the '80s, one last big hurrah for the heroes of the Reagan years. So the choice to make the trailer more about "LOOK AT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE YOU USED TO LIKE" instead of things like plot and character and sense feels like the right move.
Here's the official synopsis:
Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables' most personal battle yet.
'The Expendables 3' is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 15, 2014. The enormous cast includes Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Jason Statham, Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammer, Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes and probably your own grandfather if you squint hard enough.

"KISSology Vol. 2: 1978-1991" by KISS
August 16, 2007 Ken Pierce	Leave a comment
Artist: KISS
Title: "KISSology Vol. 2"
Label: VH1 Classics
"You Wanted The Best And You Got The Best, The Hottest Boxed Set In The World — KISSology Volume 2!!!!" Yes indeed fellow KISS fans – our favorite band has returned with the second installment of unreleased footage from deep inside their historic vaults and believe me there are some real gems on this one. "KISSology 2" picks up right where its predecessor left off and covers the years spanning 1978-1991 so that means there is a fair amount of Eric Carr footage to enjoy on top of all the other goodies that they decided to share with us this time around. Given the amount of actual songs that are featured across the three DVD's in the set, I have opted to instead line out the included main features and then discuss the contents as a whole. There are quite a bit of treats presented on the release and for the most part KISS fans already know about many of these segments existence. Let's face it – the tape traders and bootleggers were once rampant at music conventions of the past and as result much of this footage was available for years until they cracked down on it something fierce. I have to admit that it's really nice to see this stuff released officially and restored and cleaned up for maximum viewing/audio pleasure. Let's go over some of the highlights now shall we?
"The Land Of Hype And Glory" piece is nice and captures KISS mid-way in their career climb around the time of the Dynasty album but it's an excerpt. Since I don't recall the actual piece from when it aired I am not sure what's exactly missing from it. The band was still regular and relevant entertainment news at the time and was able to easily snare television spots like this and the hilarious piece with Tom Snyder. Ace Frehley takes over this interview with the normally stoic reporter and you can almost hear Gene Simmons' stare melting the very air around him as he speaks. We get "Attack Of The Phantoms" or "KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park" ala the European theatrically released version of the same television movie that all US KISS fans of the proper age watched back in 1979. While it was viewed as a disaster by the band themselves, they still realized its historical importance and cult status among the fans and since they were never able to get the rights back from NBC have given us the theatrical release instead. There are quite a few differences such as an extended KISS soundtrack for a lot of the backing scenes as opposed to crowd noise or dead silence. I personally did not recall any additional footage but some areas did seem longer than I remembered so this worked for me and it was nice to feel like the kid who was sitting in front of my Grandmothers television once again as I watched it. If you have not seen this movie yet in any fashion the price of the DVD is worth it for this alone. The "Shandi" video is cute but nothing all that special as was the rather boring interview with drummer Peter Criss who was meeting with a reporter to talk about his "quitting" the group. KISS in Australia was a cool commentary and the Sydney Australia show was fantastic. We get Eric Carr the Fox on drums and we even find the band introducing him in a commercial for their appearance. They don't include his official presentation on "Kids Are People Too" anywhere and I thought this was a grievous omission. They did manage to win me over by including the three song appearance from Friday's which found the band performing numbers from their new album "Music From The Elder". There is a "Creatures Of The Night" concert and while it's not the full show it does feature Vinnie Vincent. A great "Hot In The Shade" concert is delivered, but again seems to be missing key tunes like "Rise To It" and "Forever" which were signature tunes during this tour. The DVD comes to a close with the somber "Day In Rock" from MTV which informs the world that drummer Eric Carr had passed away. We get his last video with the band and we even see him in his hospital bed as he recovered from his operation. He would die soon after and Hard Rock music mourns him still.
I loved this release despite their cutting out portions of certain key segments (like Tom Snyder or Land Of Hype and Glory) as well as the fact that they were delivering incomplete shows when most fans already know that the full version exists based on the bootlegs they had seen over the years. They could have made me forgive them all transgressions had they included the "Animalize Live Uncensored" which was a great concert and found KISS on top of their non-makeup game. Either way this is something that is really worth looking into for any KISS fan and even those who are building their own historical catch up as new fans. Don't worry, the KISS Army loves when new recruits so sign on up.
Contents: "Land Of Hype And Glory" excerpt (1979), "The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder" (1979), "KISS in Attack Of The Phantoms" (1979), "Shandi" – video, CNN Interview with Peter Criss, Rockpop, KISS Invades Australia documentary, KISS in Sydney, Australia, Fridays, Top Pop, Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro 1983, MTV Unmasking & Interview (1983), Cascais Hall Lisbon, Portugal (1983), The Spectrum Philadelphia PA (1987), Palace Of Auburn Hills, Detroit MI (1990), MTV "The Day In Rock" (11/25/91), "God Gave Rock & Roll To You" (1991).
Bonus DVD's: Ah KISS you have done it to us once again and released your amazing boxed set with three, yes three, separate bonus DVD's that features content that you have not issued elsewhere nor included on this boxed sets predecessor. Given this is the second chapter in the series we now have a total of six such bonuses across the sets. I have lined out some brief comments and the songs that appear on the bonus DVD's and can shed a little insight as I was able to actually see two of them.
New York Ritz Club: Filmed from the "Crazy Nights" tour in 1988 (Best Buy only). This show was a practice run for KISS who was headed over to Europe to perform at The Monsters Of Rock festival. The Ritz was an incredible club and to see a band of KISS stature at the time performing there was a treat for anyone who attended. The appearance would be broadcast over one of the area Rock stations for the larger public to enjoy. I am happy to exclaim that I myself was there and still remember it like it was yesterday. I also have an audio tape of the same appearance which made me unhappy to find many songs from the show omitted. The video itself is a little shaky and sometimes the sound is inconsistent but it is filmed right from the audience and gives the viewer the sense that they are also at the show and mingling with the KISS Army of 1988. Featured songs are: Deuce, Love Gun, Fits Like A Glove, Heavens On Fire, Cold Gin, Black Diamond, Firehouse, Crazy Crazy Nights, Calling Dr. Love, War Machine, Tears Are Falling.
Budokan Hall, Tokyo Japan: Filmed during the "Crazy Nights" tour in 1988 (all major retail and online outlets except Best Buy and Wal-Mart). This was a great visual and audio experience to find included and shows KISS at the top of their commercial year's game in front of a music hungry Japanese audience. The region has always embraced KISS, so I enjoyed being a part of the action as well. Of course much like the Ritz DVD, this one is clearly missing more tracks than it included. Featured songs: Love Gun, Cold Gin, Crazy Crazy Nights, Heaven's On Fire, War Machine, I Love It Loud, Lick It Up, I Was Made For Loving You, Detroit Rock City.
Largo, MD show from "Dynasty" tour: I wasn't able to see this one but I do remember that this tour featured material from the band's individual solo albums and that alone makes this worth searching for. When KISS performed on home turf at Madison Square Garden for this tour I was in attendance. It was my first concert ever so I have the songs forever etched in my mind. Like its bonus DVD brothers in the other boxed sets this one is missing a number of tunes. Featured songs: Radioactive, Move On, Calling Dr. Love, Firehouse, New York Groove, I Was Made For Lovin' You, Love Gun, Tossin' And Turnin', God Of Thunder, Shout It Out Loud, Black Diamond, Detroit Rock City, Rock And Roll All Nite.
*** These bonus DVD's are only available in the initial production run of the boxed set.

Tech N9ne Murderdog Interview
Tech N9ne was featured in an interview for April's Murderdog magazine. It's a very extensive piece that covers a lot of ground: from Tech's musical influences to his attitudes toward being the number-one independent artist in hip hop. Tech explains how the groundwork behind the independent success and compares his tours to political campaigns:
"All the hard work from me and Travis, pushing these tours and getting out there and letting people know… We did it like a president would during a campaign. We went out to these places that didn't know who I was and built it to a success story. And we ain't done yet. I tell people I'm the number 1 independent artist in the world and that's dope. But just think when it's all the way there because we are almost all the way there. Strange Music is about to be there, nigga. For real."
Furthermore, Tech attributes much of his music success to having a brilliant business partner in Travis O'Guin: "You got to have a true businessman like Travis O'Guin that's fuckin robotic. I'm robotic on the music side. I'm a music machine. Travis is a business machine. You put both of us together we gonna go to the top, muthafucka."
Like Tech's music, the interview is very candid, revealing, and in-depth. Click here for the full piece.

Tapping on on a tip will show you photos and posts from friends who may have visited already in addition to other relevant information -- like popular features, upcoming events, and reviews from previous visitors.
Years ago, Foursquare was the coolest location-based app that people used to check-in to places and share with their friends. Now, the Foursquare app is intended for location discovery (while its Swarm app is used for social sharing). Foursquare lets you select a number of interests or "tastes" so that it can provide better location recommendations to you. You can even select a particular taste and see tips left from other users who visited nearby places.
If you're looking for lots of reviews from real people about specific places, Yelp is a must-have app. Not only can you get directions to a place, see what's on their menu if it's a restaurant, browse photos and check-in there yourself -- you'll also have access to thousands and thousands of star ratings and reviews. The most helpful highlighted user reviews are listed first, so you can always be sure to see the best information first without needing to sift through all of them.
Gogobot
Gogobot is the ultimate travel app to have on your phone. If you're traveling to a brand new place as a trip or vacation, Gogobot can give you all sorts of details about hotels, rentals, restaurants and things to do while you're there. This is another app that learns about your interests and delivers personalized recommendations. Everything also has a five-star rating system, so you always see the average rating of a place, with the option to expand it and read individual user reviews.
Sometimes, ratings and reviews come in handy for places that serve food and drinks. Urbanspoon is all about dining experiences and nothing else. Nobody likes bad food or terrible service, so using the app to find out more about restaurants, bars and other places from people who've dined there already can help you make better choices when deciding where to grab a meal or a drink. You'll be able to see menu items along with photos, and you can see what's popular nearby or adjust your location to places you may be traveling towards.

We talked to the genius behind Merriam-Webster's hilariously sassy Twitter
By Andrew Mitchell
It's 2017, and one of the sassiest voices on the internet is... a dictionary.
In case you're a productive member of society who doesn't spend all their time online, the official Twitter of the Merriam-Webster dictionary has become a viral sensation.
The Twitter account keeps on shading former reality TV star and 45th President Donald J. Trump — and people are here for it.
First, it pointed out that "fascism" was its most frequently searched word in late November.
Second, they mocked Trump for inventing the word "unpresidented" in a since-deleted tweet. (He meant "unprecedented.")
Then, on Sunday, it offered this cutting rebuke to Kellyanne Conway's new catchphrase "alternative facts."
And the next day, the account followed it up with yet another burn — tweeting out the definition of "claqueur" (a paid applauder) after reports that the Trump administration had planted staff to clap during a press conference.
The account has been hailed as a leader of the resistance, and the denizens of the internet have understandably wanted to know: Who is the genius behind Merriam-Webster's Twitter — and will they be getting a raise?
We can't speak to the question of salary, but there is in fact a human being (and not a 939-page printed book) behind the Twitter account. She's a 33-year-old woman named Lauren Naturale.
Naturale, who writes the tweets herself with some creative input from other writers at Merriam-Webster, assured me that the 186-year-old dictionary is a "politically neutral" brand — but that doesn't mean it has to be boring.
Naturale spoke to Mic by email. The following interview transcript has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
Mic: So, how did you land your current job?
Lauren Naturale: I applied on Twitter: Merriam-Webster tweeted that there was an opening for a social media manager, I messaged them with my qualifications, they told me to send a resume, and I ended up here. It gives me hope for social media, because I don't think I would have gotten a call if I'd applied the traditional way — I'd spent the second half of my twenties in an English Ph.D. program at Berkeley, and I didn't have a lot of social media experience. It ended up being a plus: Merriam decided that instead of hiring someone with lots of social media experience and hoping they'd learn more about language, they'd hire someone who already knew a lot about language and hope I could learn social media.
I'm convinced that this is why our Twitter is so popular, by the way. If we weren't geeking out about words for a living, we'd all be doing it for fun. People can tell when you care, and everyone here cares.
What do people say when you tell them what your job is?
LN: After [news site] Ozy.com ran a profile of me in December, I found out from some of my more distant friends that they hadn't realized I worked here. They thought I was posting Merriam-Webster stuff to Facebook all the time because I was some kind of Merriam-Webster superfan. Which I am, but...
What's the sassiest Tweet you've ever sent?
LN:
Now that fewer and fewer people own physical dictionaries, how do you see your role in keeping dictionaries like Merriam-Webster relevant?
LN: Our job is to be where our audience is. A lot of people still own and continue to buy physical dictionaries, and a lot of people look for our services in various digital formats. Our job is to make sure the public knows about all of these products, and obviously having a lively social media presence helps with that. Since the "fact" tweet, people keep contacting us saying they're going to buy a dictionary, and — yes! Buy a dictionary if you like! But you could also get our app, or subscribe to the Unabridged or just use our free site to look words up. The dictionary is everywhere.
I often hear people saying things like, "OMG who runs this account?" How does it feel to be the mystery woman behind such a popular Twitter?
LN: Sometimes a person I know in real life, or used to know, will tweet that and tag @MerriamWebster, and I will die laughing. But I'm not M-W; M-W is the place where I work, and you see the work of a whole group of people reflected in the things we post.
From one Twitter pro to another — what do you think about Donald Trump's use of Twitter?
LN: I think it's interesting that the official POTUS account is explicitly credited to his social media manager, while he continues to post presidential tweets from a second account.
Donald Trump doesn't seem to have very good spelling — think he could benefit from a Merriam-Webster dictionary?
LN: I think everyone could benefit from a Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Research Suggests Further Strengths in Perception of Individuals with Autism
Friday, June 17, 2016, By Kathleen Haley
College of Arts and Sciencesfacultyresearch
Natalie Russo
Researchers in the Center for Autism Research in Electrophysiology (CARE) Lab in the College of Arts and Sciences have made some important findings in looking at how children with autism process what they see.
The results reveal more evidence of heightened perception among children with autism, which could help explain some symptoms of autism. The findings were published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.
"These results suggest that some of the perceptual strengths that are unique to individuals with autism are present both when looking at information over space, as well as over time," says Assistant Professor Natalie Russo, director of the CARE Lab. "Many theories of autism suggest that temporal processing is atypical, or worse than among typically developing individuals. Our findings put some of this into question, but more research is needed to confirm or refute this."
Russo, who is the principal investigator, conducts behavioral and psychophysiological research to understand how typically developing children, children with developmental disabilities and children on the autism spectrum process and integrate sensory information.
Housed in the Department of Psychology, the lab focuses on looking at individual differences in sensory, perceptional and cognitive processes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a group of developmental disorders that affects one out of every 88 children.
Russo's current research is funded through a $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.
The latest published findings focused on how well and how quickly participants—children with and without autism and typically developed adults—were able to detect the identity of a letter when it was presented either with numbers or with different colored letters.
Humans are able to see specific targets among distracting objects in space and across time. However, recent studies indicate children with autism may be better than their typically developing peers at seeing targets in space—such as finding a "T" among a group of "L"s.
Russo's group wanted to see if this was also true across time as well.
Participants in each of the three test groups were shown a sequence of images one at a time that showed numbers, with a single letter presented as a target—or images that showed letters, with a differently colored letter as the target.
Researchers were able to examine not only the differences between the groups, but differences in processing categorical information (letters vs. numbers) relative to feature information (color of letters). They found that children with autism performed as well as adults in the color task at the fastest—and therefore most challenging—rate of presentation, whereas all groups performed similarly in the category task.
"The research shows that children with autism are able to pick up on information that requires binding of a feature—a color—with a shape—a letter—better than their typically developing peers," says CARE Lab postdoctoral associate Carl E. Hagmann, who is the first author on the paper in collaboration with Russo.
"Now we have evidence for enhanced perception in autism across space and time," Hagmann says. "This means that enhanced perception might be a generalized feature of autism, which may help explain some common symptoms of autism, such as extreme sensitivity to sensory stimuli."
Others involved in the research include graduate student Nicole Shea, who helped with the diagnosis of participants, and lab manager Megan LeBlanc, who was instrumental in organizing data collection, Hagmann says. Wendy Kates, a psychiatrist at Upstate Medical University, and Brad Wyble, a former professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, who is now at Penn State, helped design the experiment.

What Gift Have You Been Given to Share?
There is an old Christian tradition that God sends each person into this world with a special message to deliver, with a special song to sing for others, with a special act of love to bestow. No one else can speak my message, sing my song, or offer my act of love. These are entrusted only to me. ( John Powell, Through Seasons of the Heart, 1986).
We have noted that God chose Matt as a sign of hope for addicts (http://venerablematttalbotresourcecenter.blogspot.com/2015/11/venerable-matt-talbot-sign-of-hope-for.html).

Venerable Matt Talbot: A Sign of Hope For Addicts
Matt Talbot Dublin Diocesan Committee
https://www.facebook./permalink.php?id= 217785025048151&story_fbid=268544269972226
There is an old Christian tradition that God sends each person into this world with a special message to deliver, with a special song to sing for others, with a special act of love to bestow. No one else can speak that message, or sing that song, or offer that act of love and according to this tradition, the message may be spoken, the song sung, the act of love delivered only to a few, or to all the people in a small town, or to all the people in a large city, or even to all the people in the world. It all depends on God's unique plan for each of us and this truth is no where more evident for us than in the life of Matt Talbot.
Matt did not speak with great eloquence but his message has touched the hearts of millions, he was no nightingale but his song of hope has soothed many a tortured soul and his acts of love continues to resonate in our world today, unaware of the impact his life would make God's unique plan for Matt was gradually unveiled and the stage on which it was set was Dublin's inner city during a time of great social and political unrest.
Jesus said: "I bless you Father Lord of heaven and earth for hiding these things from the learned and clever and revealing them to mere children." Matt 11:25
Matt Talbot was not learned or clever he was one of Dublin's poor he lived in a tenement, wore second hand clothes, died in a laneway and was buried in a pauper's grave. Poorly educated he did not start school until he was 11 years old and with less than a year of formal education, the two words written in the remarks Column of the roll book in O'Connell's sums up Matt's time in school, a mitcher. Coming from such a deprived background and with an alcoholic father and a family history of neglect and poverty, Matt found himself sucked into the culture of addiction and to the only choice of drug available to the poor of his day, alcohol. Matt like so many others embraced alcohol as a means of escape from the misery and poverty of daily life.
Today we live in an age of addictions more sophisticated perhaps than those of Matt's day, addictions to substances such as alcohol and other drugs soft or hard, prescription or illegal, addictions to gambling, pornography and the internet, addictions to work, professional advancement, sex, money and power. In a sense you might say they are the ancient enemies, even if the e-technologies and the e-drugs provide new faces for them and a new attraction and power that like demons, can take procession of our souls.
Matt Talbot gradually came to this awareness and from the time of his conversion from alcoholism to sobriety, as a young man of twenty eight, he spent the rest of his life living to a heroic extent the Christian virtues thro' prayer, spiritual reading, work and love of neighbour. Matt sets before us a radical example which demonstrates that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. His life is a witness to the fact that people can by God's grace and their own self acceptance say no to that which leads to addiction or addictive behaviors and that in the meantime our communities must never lose hope and must continue to care for them.
Maybe it is because of this that so many have come to love and admire Matt Talbot. Matt's friend Paddy Laird always found it extraordinary that there were only seven people at Matt's funeral, but upon making public his life story hundreds of thousands have come to see him as a hero and a beacon of hope.
People need heroes, not in the sense of comic book or movie superheroes with superhuman powers, not pop stars or celebrities all art and pizzazz but with little or no moral substance. No what we need are ordinary people who against extraordinary odds do the right thing, like saying no to addiction or compulsion.
Matt Talbot understood this and he would say to others, "If I can do it so can you with the grace of God". But Matt also understood the human condition he once said to his sister Susan, "never think harshly of a person because of the drink it's easier to get out of hell than to give up the drink, for me it was only possible with the help of God and our blessed Mother".
Matt's example has inspired many institutions, movements and individuals around the world giving hope of recovery to those who are willing to accept their weakness and need. Such people stand as beacons in our world to the truth that we can overcome addiction rise above our weakness and achieve great things even sainthood.
Jesus said, "Come to me all you who labour and are overburdened and I will give you rest shoulder my yoke and learn from me for I am meek and humble of heart and you will find rest for your souls" Matt 11:28-30. Matt Talbot's life as a labourer who was overburdened by addiction and guilt gradually grew in awareness through the gift of grace and the Holy Spirit that a life of meekness and humility of heart will lead to rest for our souls, and towards a better world where all self destructive drive will come to an end, where people will live in harmony of body, mind and spirit, in harmony too with each other, with creation and with God.
By following the example of Matt Talbot you tell the world that there is more to life than "sex, and drugs and rock n roll," that there is hope for every broken heart and that by God's love his kingdom comes into our hearts, our homes and our world.
At this time when so many of our communities are affected by the scourge of alcohol and substance misuse, God has chosen Matt to be set before us as a model of temperance and a source of strength and support to all who suffer from addiction or addictive behaviors.
Matt Talbot ascetic and urban spiritual mystic, who overcame addiction by the Grace of God, his higher power, whose faith was nourished by his extraordinary love of the Eucharist and his sublime devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
"You must therefore be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect," Christ told his followers. When Matt found sobriety through prayer and spiritual guidance, his desire for drink was replaced by a desire for Christian perfection.
This is why God chose Matt as a sign of hope for addicts.

"From Adversity to Hope, from Hope to Action"
This article was posted on 26th October 2015 at
http://www.salesiansireland.ie/2015/10/from-adversity-to-hope-from-hope-to-action/
The only known letter that Matt Talbot ever wrote was to the Columban Missionaries. Matt was very ill at the time, in December 1924 and in a very poignant and moving letter he wrote: "Matt Talbot – have done no work for past 18 months. I have been sick and given over by priest and doctor. I don't think I will work any more. There one pound from me and ten shillings from my sister."
It was fitting therefore that the Matt Talbot Novena Mass for October, the month of the Missions, was animated by the Columban Missionaries. The Mass was held on Sunday 25th of October in Matt Talbot Shrine, Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Sean McDermott Street. The Eucharist was led by Fr Vincent, a Columban Missionary from Fiji presently studying in Ireland, while Fr Richard Ebejer and Fr Cyril Odia concelbrated; a sizeable crowd gathered for the occasion.
The theme for the evening was "From Adversity to Hope, from Hope to Action": seeking to highlight Matt Talbot's own love for the missions, and how in the midst of his own struggles, the hope that sustained him encouraged him to reach out to others.
Venerable Matt Talbot, who died in 1925, was renowned for his holiness, having overcome a crippling alcohol addiction, through prayer, penance and works of charity. He has been a heroic inspiration to many people in Ireland and abroad battling addiction. His shrine attracts quite a number of pilgrims who come seeking spiritual strength to be able to stay in recovery.
The occasion also marked the conclusion of the 90th Anniversary Year, during which the parish held a number of special activities to commemorate Matt Talbot and celebrate his legacy.
The Salesians of Don Bosco have been entrusted with the pastoral care of the Shrine and Parish in inner city Dublin for over twenty years. Though in the heart of the city, it is very much a ministry to the marginalized and those affected by social problems.

SPUR support AB 69, which will help to address California's housing crisis by setting up helpful guidelines for the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Studies show that ADUs cost less to both build and rent, making them an affordable and eco-friendly source of new housing. This legislation will help add thousands of new units to California's housing stock. Residents will have greater choice in where they want to live as ADUs present more affordable options in neighborhoods.
