Dr. Beach Reveals The Best Beaches That Won't Appear On His Famed List
The 11 Best Beaches That Aren't On Best Beaches Lists

Senior Editor, HuffPost Culture + Parenting

T here are two things that Americans love: beaches and lists.
Or so says Dr. Beach, aka Dr. Stephen Leatherman, who has become America's go-to expert over the years.
Leatherman's annual top 10 rankings have been drawing praise (from the ones chosen) and ire (from local tourism boards of the communities not picked) since 1991, when the first official list came out. That was two years after his accidental first list was published as a sidebar in Condé Nast Traveler.
It could be easy to write off Dr. Beach as someone who simply travels around looking at the world's coastlines, but there's a lot more to him than that. We spoke with the professor to learn more about what got him interested in seaside oases in the first place, how his rankings work and about his favorite non-listed spots.
Born in Charlotte, N.C., Leatherman fell in love with beaches when, at five years old, he first saw Myrtle Beach.
"My mom said when I saw the beach my eyes got huge like saucers because I just saw that the sand went on endlessly and I saw the ocean and the waves. It was love at first sight," he says.
But that experience didn't jumpstart his career. While at North Carolina State University, Leatherman volunteered with a project studying beach erosion on the Outer Banks. The gig required him to go to the coast in wintertime and helped him pay his way through college. Post-graduation, he headed to the University of Virginia where his PhD dissertation studied beach erosion. Leatherman planned to work for the federal government after his studies, but people told him he should be a professor, so he became -- quite by accident -- a coastal scientist.
Since then, he's conducted a study for the government on America's beaches, taught at the University of Massachusetts, the University of Maryland and has been at Florida International University since 1997. There he opened and became the first director of the International Hurricane Research Center and helped develop a hurricane simulator called the wall of wind.
Today Dr. Beach focuses mostly on beach erosion, sea level rise and rip currents and is an expert on America's 650 major recreational beaches. But back to the lists.
As it turns out, Leatherman's former student went on to work for Conde Nast Traveler. In May 1989, the student suggested him as an expect to his editor, who called Leatherman and asked him for his top 10 beaches in America, which he rattled off the top of his head.
He went to Beijing that afternoon and totally forgot about the list until the magazine arrived in his mailbox a few months later. Leatherman was surprised to see the list, especially because the beaches were listed in the exact order he'd rattled off over the phone. After that, the phones started to ring and the list officially began.
Leatherman spent the new two years combing through all his data to come up with 50 criteria. The locations are judged on a scale from 1 (the worst) to 5 (the best). "The perfect beach would score a 250, but I've never found a perfect beach. I guess I'm tough. I'm still looking," Leatherman told HuffPost.
So what are the most important criteria? Sand color is a big deal, as people really like the whitest sand possible. But what are the other more important criteria?
Clean water and clean sand. Leatherman says, "If you don't have clean water, you don't have anything."
Next up is safety. Are there shore breaks? Rip currents? Lifeguards? What are the size of the waves? "If waves are above five feet, they're too dangerous -- the energy of the wave is proportional to the height of the wave squared, so a 1-foot wave has very little energy, but a 2-foot wave has 4 times the energy of a 1-foot wave," he says. Of course, Leatherman adds, rip currents can be in waves that are 3 to 4-feet high, too.
Facilities. People want some creature comforts; they want parking, a restaurant, lifeguards, restrooms. But if the beach is overdeveloped and crowded, it can be like "Where's Waldo?" "The best beaches have a delicate balance between nature and the built environment, where we have some amenities but nature is still there," he says.
Good water temperature, which Dr. Beach says is anywhere between 70 and low 80 degrees. Since his survey is for swimming beaches, this is always a big one. But "people in Oregon, Washington and Maine are always mad at me because their beaches are never on the list but that's because it's too darn cold. Alaska forget it," he chuckled.
So what are some of the spots Leatherman loves but hasn't included on his list?
Shi Shi Beach
Dr. Beach says: This beach, in Washington's Olympic National Park, is a superb wilderness beach. On the way there, you'll see eagles in the air and otters in the rivers, you might even see a bear and deer. The beach is abandoned with huge logs on it, but it's a 10-mile hike in. You gotta bring all your gear with you and in the same day it can be sunny and rainy. I can't put that on the list because people want some creature comforts, they just can't deal with all that.
Ke'e Beach
Dr. Beach says: This is on the end of the road in Kaui, which is sheer beauty. It's literally at the end of the road and you're coming into the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park. It's a small beach -- it's a pocket beach -- with a reef offshore and at low tide the reef is exposed and the waves crash over it. The beach is about 200 to 300 feet wide and behind it are caves and waterfalls and mountains. You've got trees and shade there and beautiful coral white sand. The water is crystal clear and it's chockfull of tropical fish; I've never seen so many tropical fish in my life. There also sea turtles there that will come swimming right by you. You can't imagine something like this exists. The only problem is there's a hole in the reef on the south end and the water piles up at low tide and when it drains out there's a rip current and no lifeguards. They do have signs with warnings but that becomes too dangerous for me to put on the list. There aren't any facilities there either.
Dr. Beach says: It's an idyllic little beach town. It's got a nice boardwalk, there's Dolly's Taffy Shop, the music area is good if you got kids. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not on my list.
Children's Pool Beach
Dr. Beach says: It's the safest beach in California for kids -- that's why it's called Children's Beach -- but the seals are back and the great white sharks are there, too, because they eat the seals so I wouldn't do any swimming there. The seals have turned it into their sunbathing area, so the wildlife people don't want you to go down and disturb them. The seals use the ocean as their bathroom. Wildlife has killed off the number one beach for kids to swim in southern California. I'm for nature, don't get me wrong but...
Paradise Cove Beach
Dr. Beach says: Here's the key if you want to go: Go there at lunch time. It's a private beach in Malibu and they make you pay $25 to get in, but if you go to the restaurant -- it's the best lunch I've ever had -- the lunch costs you about $25 and you get free parking. Afterwards, go explore the beach and, if it's low tide you can go see the sea creatures on the rocks.
Don Pedro State Park
Dr. Beach says: That's a real getaway beach -- you have to get there by boat-- but it's one of the best places to find sharks teeth on the beach.
Leadbetter Beach
Dr. Beach says: It's the main beach in Santa Barbara, which is the "toast of Southern California beach towns." This is the furthest extent north of the "relative warm" swimmable water. Palm trees line it and the mountains make a great scenic backdrop. The town has the Mediterranean feel with the terra cotta clay roofs, and the seafood restaurants are excellent. I'm in heaven.
St. Petersburg Beach
Dr. Beach says: The beach is home to Don Cesar Hotel, which is a 1920s hotel, an American icon. The huge, pink hotel is something to behold, and the beach has lily white sand and clean, clear water--an idyllic spot.
Dr. Beach says: I was just in Costa Rica and I really liked the beaches in Guanacaste on the Pacific side. Theres' a beach there called Conchal, and it's made mostly out of seashells, there's a little bit of sand but it's mostly seashells. It's a beautiful little beach that's hard to find. It's a bit of a drive from San Jose but the water looks like the Caribbean. You have to go over a little mountain to get there and you think to yourself, 'where are we going this can't be right?'
Haeundae beach
Dr. Beach says: This beach on the Pacific Coast is the number one beach in South Korea. I was there in June, and the water was warm enough for swimming and the waves were small--and there were few people there. In the heart of the summer tourist season, it's mobbed by people--just Google Haeundae for photos. The water is clear and clean in spite of being in a major metropolitan area. The South Koreans are wonderful people, and the cultural visit is worth the trip. Learn to eat seaweed if you go there!
Cape Florida
Dr. Beach says: My favorite local beach, which is like South Beach but calmer is, Cape Florida, which is the end of Key Biscayne. It has calm, tourmaline-colored water which is great for swimming. There's a great Cuban restaurant there that serves fresh fish called the Lighthouse Café. There's a big lighthouse you can climb up at the south end of the beach some days. It's a great place to go biking, fishing and swimming. It's at the very tip end of Key Biscayne and it's got the wind blowing so even in summer it doesn't feel that hot. There's also always ample parking.
Clarification: Leatherman's quote about the strength of waves relative to height has been adjusted to correct a previous misstatement about the energy in a 2-foot wave.

A Frightening Documentary on Web Rehab
David Konow / May 4, 2019 January 27, 2014
You can get addicted to practically anything, and there was once an episode on the A&E show Intervention that dealt with gaming addiction. But these are extreme cases, and it's hard to take stories like this too seriously because a lot of people spend way too much time on the net and playing games, which doesn't necessarily make them junkies.
Still, there's a documentary called Web Junkie about rehabs in China that deprogram teens from the net, and it sounds like pretty frightening stuff. One such place is the Internet Addiction Treatment Center in Beijing, and as the Daily Beast tells us, China is one of the first countries that has seriously considered net addiction a serious disorder and a threat to young people.
The documentary Web Junkie premiered at Sundance, and a number of kids in the film say that they were tricked by their families into being imprisoned in the center. The place seems more like an Orwellian-style brainwashing center, and in one scene they sing a song together that contains the lyrics, "Following orders is an obligation! We must remember the rules and regulations! We should follow orders and not violate them!"
To be fair, one kid at the center played World of Warcraft for ten hours straight, another claimed he played for nearly fifteen days straight with only small naps for rest. The concern, one addiction specialist at the center said, is that these kids "think that the real world is not as good as the virtual world."
The Daily Beast wasn't the only site that found this documentary compelling. This film has gotten rave reviews from a number of places, and we hope that exposure to this film will shed a strong light, not on net addiction, but in rehab reform, because this place sounds like a pretty scary environment for anybody, let alone teenagers.

Same old Joe: Rebuffing staff who smoked pot fits Biden's MO. Anyone surprised that Joe Biden would scrutinize the weed-smoking habits of his White House staff hasn't paid attention to one of the more consistent policy threads of his decades-long career. He's just not ready to embrace cannabis. Despite a shift in public opinion toward legalizing marijuana over the past 30 years, the president's more conservative approach to weed policy is well-known on Capitol Hill. When the Daily Beast reported late Thursday that "dozens" of young White House staffers had been suspended, asked to resign or placed in a remote work program after admitting to prior marijuana use, pro-cannabis lawmakers were dismayed Friday but hardly shocked. The White House's decision to dismiss or penalize employees for marijuana demonstrates the gap between the Biden administration and the majority of his party, who increasingly see decriminalization or outright legalization as a major criminal justice reform issue.
California's provisional marijuana licensing crisis resurfaces, possibly disrupting thousands of MJ companies. For the third time in less than four years, California lawmakers are revisiting the state's marijuana licensing program, ostensibly to give businesses and regulators more time to get permits processed while allowing the industry to keep functioning without major interruption. In the balance hangs the possible fate of more than 8,000 marijuana business licenses—retailers, growers and other companies that are still operating on business permits that were originally crafted by the state to be temporary, not permanent. At issue is the state marijuana "provisional" licensing program, which California created toward the end of 2018 as a stopgap measure to give entrepreneurs more time to transition from "temporary" business licenses to full "annual" permits. But the bill that established the provisional licenses gave the program only a one-year life span. Then, in 2019, lawmakers reauthorized the program, this time with a two-year window. One of the biggest bottlenecks delaying the issuance of annual permits is a state law, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), that every business in California – marijuana included – must comply with. The amount of time needed to prove compliance with that law has helped create the current backlog of thousands of businesses that are still operating without full annual licenses. A key sticking point: Cannabis regulators don't currently have the legal authority to issue more provisional permits – or renew existing ones – after Dec. 31, 2021. Unless lawmakers again extend the stopgap program, thousands of companies could be forced to shut down, at least temporarily.
Recreational Cannabis Delivery Ready to Launch in Colorado. It took nearly two years to chart the path, but recreational marijuana delivery is about to start in Colorado. The apps are ready to launch, cars are filled with gas, and permits are being issued — at least five so far, according to the state Marijuana Enforcement Division. Several dispensaries in Aurora, currently the only Colorado town that has recreational marijuana dispensaries and also allows recreational delivery, are racing to get their drivers on the road as soon as their permits are approved by the MED and the City of Aurora. The Green Solution, Medicine Man, Lightshade, Colorado Harvest Company and Rocky Road have all submitted applications, and a few have already been approved, according to the MED and Aurora regulators, with a couple of stores close to launching the service.

Home › Beer › Show 148: WTF?
Let's face it, this past week has been rough for the United States, for its citizens, for humanity. Bombs, shootings, etc. That begs us to ask, seriously, WTF!?!? At what point is this too much. We're not talking about the politics or this side versus that side or anything resembling that. The reality is, we don't believe that it's necessarily political. Well, yeah, it is, but that's not the end-all-be-all of the reasons. It's not our president (solely), it's not the gub'ment (solely), it's a lot deeper than that. The Dads talk about this in this episode.
The Beer of the week is Guayabera from Cigar City Brewing.

Every year is different in many ways. Technology is changing very rapidly and yet there are some basics that we often forget that can make the difference right now and this coming year. I was compelled to write this after reading The Power of Moments by the Heath Brothers. These tips are specific hospitality industry tidbits based on this fine book and 40+ years of experience in the industry. Yes, I started when I was 4.
"Moments of elevation" are experiences that rise above the routine, according to the aforementioned book. These moments make us feel joyful and motivated. To create these moments, we need to do something unusual. Back in 1986, I vividly recall how we created a Halley's Comet package that included room, food, bus trip to the desert, rented telescopes and an Arizona State University Professor of Astronomy. Yes, it required a 3A wake-up call to our guests but nobody complained and it made for rooms business and great press.
When we get our team members excited about something, they will ensure the guests are excited. It works and can be as simple as offering a taste of beer, wine or unusual tea as a mini-tasting before dinner or on check-in. Our own team members can come up with great ideas that do not cost much money but are highly unique.
These activities allow us to gain a fresh perspective and I have had tremendous success when applying this to my Entrepreneurship course at Arizona State University every semester. The students become very creative after the simple exercises and it works in the hospitality workplace as well.
"Moments of pride" commemorate people's achievements. Recognizing others for their achievements takes a bit of time and creativity but as an example, one of our general managers was honored for his efforts in helping young people at a non-profit. An investment of time and effort yielded a huge reward for our GM so we acknowledged his work. We routinely award our team members for employee of the month, quarter or year but do we send the announcement to the local newspaper with the photo? Remember, everyone likes to be recognized! We've all read about how salary is not the driver of happiness in the workplace. Pride of work is up near the top!
"Moments of connection" bond us together. Groups unite when they struggle together toward a meaningful goal; they often begin their work with a "synchronized moment." I've been involved in fundraisers for kids who literally are starving. We made sandwiches (P&J) for thousands of these kids by creating a contest among attendees at a conference. The competition was fun, making the sandwiches at warp speed as a team created camaraderie and it worked for all. This type of connection is meaningful and may create a long-term bond.
At the end of the day, we often look at profit and loss statements and reports and forget who is taking care of our guests and what we can do to make the businesses we own more exciting for everyone, including ourselves. Try something here and it will work wonders! To a great finish to 2018!

NHS app is a 'joke' claims Diss barbershop owner after having to close for a week following 'pingdemic'
chris.morris@iliffepublishing.co.uk
Published: 17:00, 01 August 2021
A salon owner has slammed the NHS Covid app after having to close two of his barber shops after staff were told to self-isolate.
Tom Old, 31, co-owner of the MR Barbers shop in Diss, said the app was "a joke" after staff had to go into self-isolation after being alerted on the NHS Test and Trace app that they had been in contact with somebody who had tested positive for coronavirus.
Mr Old was forced to close his St Nicholas Street store, along with another in Stowmarket, for 10 days. As a result, he said that the two salons lost more than 100 appointments between them and his teams of self-employed barbers lost hundreds of pounds of business.
Thousands of businesses across the country are being forced to shut up shop after being pinged by the NHS app.
"The app is really a bit of a joke," said Mr Old. "I understand the thinking behind it, but it seems like the whole reopening has been rushed; people have panicked and it has not be structured properly.
"One of the team at Stowmarket was pinged a week last Thursday and this was shortly followed by another in Diss.
"Because they couldn't be with the others, it meant we had to close the shops.
"It also meant we had to get straight on the computer that night and cancel all the appointments for the next day, the weekend and all of the past week.
He continued: "Our barbers are self-employed, so this means that, after everything the industry has been through, it came as a real kick in the teeth that they immediately had to self-isolate.
"It is just frustrating more than anything, and upsetting."
Mr Old has run the barbers' shops with business partner Mark Lovell for seven years.
Four staff work at the Stowmarket shop and three in Diss. Both shops reopened on Monday.
The NHS Covid app has sent thousand of workers across the country back home this week, with government ministers insisting the guidance to self-isolate for 10 days must be followed.
As businesses struggle to cope with decimated staffing levels, the growing number of people being told to go into isolation after receiving a notification is being referred to as a 'pingdemic'.
"It was upsetting for the barbers who were just getting going again and looking forward to Freedom Day," added Mr Old.
"We are a strong team, though, and we'll keep our heads up as we have been through a lot already, with the stop-start approach to the economy over the last 18 months.
"Our fear, though, is as it has already happened once, in two of our shops, it may well happen again."

Q: Enable/Disable controls on ComboBox selection in Xaml How to enable /disable controls like textbox,label,textblock if combobox is selected/not-selected? e.g. If selected index is greater than zero, enable controls else disable.How to bind IsEnabled properties of the control with combobox selection?

A: I would probably just do something like this.
<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=SelectedItem,
                                               ElementName=TheCombo}"
                                               Value="{x:Null}">
                    <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </Grid.Resources>

    <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">

        <ComboBox x:Name="TheCombo" Width="100">
            <ComboBoxItem>Blah</ComboBoxItem>
            <ComboBoxItem>Blah</ComboBoxItem>
            <ComboBoxItem>Blah</ComboBoxItem>
        </ComboBox>

        <Button Content="Click Me" Margin="0,10"/>

    </StackPanel>

</Grid>

Hope this helps, cheers!

A: You can bind IsEnabled to the SelectedIndex property of the ComboBox and use a IValueConverter to convert it to Boolean. For instance, in your XAML (showing enabling a Button):
<ComboBox x:Name="cmbBox" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource DataList}}"/>
<Button Grid.Column="1" IsEnabled="{Binding ElementName=cmbBox, Path=SelectedIndex, Converter={StaticResource IndexToBoolConverter}}"/>

Then you need a converter as well, such as:
public class IndexToBoolConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        if ((int)value > 0)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

You'll also have declare the Converter as a resource, such as in your Window.
<local:IndexToBoolConverter x:Key="IndexToBoolConverter"/>

A: Try with this
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
            {
                ToggleButton dropDownButton = GetFirstChildOfType<ToggleButton>(cboMedicos);
                if (dropDownButton != null)
                {
                    dropDownButton.IsEnabled = false;
                }

            }), System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Render);

    public static T GetFirstChildOfType<T>(DependencyObject dependencyObject) where T : DependencyObject
    {
        if (dependencyObject == null)
        {
            return null;
        }

        for (var i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(dependencyObject); i++)
        {
            var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(dependencyObject, i);

            var result = (child as T) ?? GetFirstChildOfType<T>(child);

            if (result != null)
            {
                return result;
            }
        }

        return null;
    }

Home Slot Machines Diamond Vapor Casino Slot Review
Diamond Vapor Casino Slot Review
Categories: Slot Machines | Published by: OnlineCasinoMonkeys
When you first read the title, you don't really know what to expect from this new online casino slot. The only recognizable name is Endorphina, an online slot developer that guarantees supreme graphics and an exciting online gambling experience. So what is Diamond Vapor? It's a game about the use of e-cigarettes, also called vaping, millennials and hipsters. Basically, this is the future of the world in a nutshell.
This slot looks very futuristic, with a wide variety of original slot symbols and its very modern-looking interface. The main target group of this game are young people, especially those who enjoy playing online casino slots on portable devices. The modern but minimalistic look, the easily controllable interface that requires only tapping the screen, and the fashionable characters all show that Endorphina are looking to target young slot fans with this one, and it will be a guaranteed success.
Design and Audio
Nowadays there are many modern and sophisticated slots, but the unfortunate thing about most of them is that only a handful of them can be played on any device. This usually means that either the graphics are basic but the gameplay is really good, or that the graphics are over the top, but the gameplay suffers because of those graphics.
In case of Diamond Vapor, nothing really suffers. The graphics are satisfying and anyone can enjoy the gameplay on a mobile device due to the basic but still outstanding visuals. The best visual feature is, when landing a win, the characters will puff smoke out their mouths, because this is a vapor-themed slot after all.
Diamond Vapor is also equipped with a modern background sound, to pander to a younger audience that will probably recognize these tunes from clubs and parties. It is a mix of everything people listen to nowadays, which is good, because it won't get boring quickly
Gameplay & Features
Usually these online casino slots make it easy to win with lower-value coins, because there is no real risk involved, but as soon as I increased the coin value, I landed a great combo and immediately doubled it with the gamble feature. This shows that Diamond Vapor has its share of base game and bonus features that will appease any slot player.
Diamond Vapor features a "Vape Bar" Scatter symbol that functions as both a Wild and Scatter. It will substitute for all symbols, but only during the base game and does not apply to free spins. If you land 3 of the Scatter symbols, you receive 10 free spins. Each winning combo that lands during the free spins will expand and cover the other reels, increasing your chances to score multiple wins at the same time.
The Risk Game is a gamble feature and besides the free spins the only bonus feature. After a win you can gamble and double your wins by guessing which of the two vapers, Jack or Mike, will blow out more smoke. This is simply a game of luck, but you can increase your wins up to 5 times, so it's a nice addition to the game.
All in all, I am pleasantly surprised by the Diamond Vapor online casino slot, mainly because it's easy to play on all devices, it's quite entertaining and way more fun than most millennials are thought to be. This will certainly entertain all fans of vaping and slots.

On the week of September 21 the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, Woodward library, TRIUMF laboratory and other teams within UBC were collaborating to promote science literacy in a national science literacy initiative.
The Science Literacy Week started as an initiative last year although 2015 was the first year UBC has taken part in the celebration with numerous other institutions across Canada. Since the last year, the initiative gathered more partners to create a nation-wide event.
Over the week, people could see infographics on the work of six researchers in the Beaty Biodiversity Museum in an exhibition called Research Revealed. These infographics presented complex work of the scientists in a way that would be accessible to everybody. Mairin Kerr, the events coordinator at the Beaty Biodiversity museum, said that this is what science literacy is mostly about — communicating complicated science concepts in a way that everyone could understand and enjoy.
The Science Literacy Week at UBC was primarily aimed at students who are not studying sciences and wish to learn more. The event could become a gateway to finding a new science-related hobby, inspiration or new way of expressing oneself.
"We want artists to come and analyze organisms to understand their anatomy and use this knowledge in their drawings and writers to gain inspiration after they visit us," said Kerr.
Science Literacy Week was an opportunity to remind people that science is not at all that scary and, in fact, can be quite interesting.
Science Literacy Week did not only attract public attention to science, it also allowed different institutions within the UBC to work together which ended in improved relationships between them.
During the main event of the the week, Hands-On Science, representatives from the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, Let's Talk Science, Open Robotics, Engineering Physics and UBC Rapid showed people different ways of approaching science. The Hands-On Science reinforced the hands-on approach to learning so the visitors were able to see how engines work, touch selected specimens from the Beaty Biodiversity Museum and directly talk to the people involved.
In the future, these relationships between different institutions within the UBC could result in more events dedicated to the celebration of science or more research opportunities for people to get involved.
Over the course of the Science Literacy Week, science-promoting events were held every day both in the Woodward library and Beaty Biodiversity Museum. In the early afternoon, one could come to the Woodward Library to watch some science-related documentaries. Later in the afternoon, the Beaty Biodiversity Museum presented people with daily research tours. During these tours, participants were able to directly talk to scientists. Direct interactions with scientists and movies could easily spark interest in science and inspiration making the Science Literacy Week successful.
The Science Literacy Week was an inspiring initiative to educate people about science and provide the public with easy access to the science world. For some, this week could have inspired a new passion. For many, it was a way of broadening horizons and learning something new. Hopefully it sparked interest in those who have been afraid of science since they were kids and inspired them to relate their interests to science.


Think accounting is dreary and accounting teachers are dry and detached? Well, you've never met the University of Pittsburgh's Willie Choi. The winner of four consecutive "Excellence in Teaching Awards" at Katz, Choi has managed to pull off a truly amazing feat. He has turned accounting into something real and rousing. Forget debits and credits. In Choi's class, accounting is an expression of human psychology and how it impacts decisions. Beyond making accounting relevant with examples and entertaining students with his trademark wit, Choi is known as a teacher who truly cares. He makes time to ease their struggles and takes joy in their successes. Beyond being a stellar teacher, Choi is a renowned researcher, earning the coveted 2015 Best Early Career Researcher Award in 2015. In his spare time, Choi is an avid Green Bay Packers fan who lists Indiana Jones as one of his role models.
Professor you most admire: The professor I most admire is my PhD advisor, Kristy Towry. Perhaps the best lesson I learned from her is to take my work seriously, but to not take myself seriously. I also admire Indiana Jones (people forget he's a professor). He's brilliant, passionate about his "research," and can pull off a fedora better than I ever could. Plus, he's married to Karen Allen, and Sean Connery is his father. Could life be any better than that?
Most memorable moment in the classroom or in general as a professor: In my very first section on my very first day of teaching at Pitt (Fall 2011), I mentioned to my students that I'm a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan, and I got booed. It totally threw me off for the rest of the day—seriously, who gets booed on the first day? I later remembered that the Packers had beaten the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV about seven months earlier. As an avid sports fan, that moment convinced me Pittsburgh was exactly the kind of passionate sports city I wanted to live in. But, as an avid Packers fan, I felt compelled to respond, and so every exam that semester included a question involving that Packers' Super Bowl victory. I've kept it up ever since.
What professional achievement are you most proud of? Receiving the 2015 Best Early Career Researcher Award given jointly by the AICPA and CIMA. While I greatly appreciate the acknowledgement of my research, what makes it particularly special to me is I share the distinction with my advisor Kristy Towry (who won in 2008) and with fellow Emory PhD alum and co-author Ivo Tafkov (who won in 2014).
What do you enjoy most about being a business school professor? Showing people through research and teaching that accounting is not simply about rules and debits and credits. It's fundamentally about human behavior, about how we decide what to measure, how to measure it, and how we use that information to make decisions.
What do you enjoy least about being a business school professor? Grading. Only the truly evil among us enjoy it.
Fun fact about yourself: I've become obsessed with learning the banjo, but it's for the nerdiest reason possible. I recently saw Throw Down Your Heart, a documentary which follows banjo player Béla Fleck as he travels to Africa to explore the historical origins of the banjo. The film traces the banjo back to an instrument called the akonting, which sounds exactly how you think it would ("accounting"). See, I told you.
Favorite book: Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott.
Favorite movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back.
Favorite type of music: Jam bands like Phish the Grateful Dead are close to my heart. But, I also listen to a lot of Motown music, especially Gladys Knight and the Pips.
What are your hobbies? Spending time with my family, playing and watching sports, listening to and playing music, skee-ball, and developing my whiskey palate.

Sebastian Peetz (* 3. Dezember 1968 in Hannover) ist ein mehrfach international ausgezeichneter deutscher Künstler und Designer. Er ist Absolvent des Art Center College of Design (Europe) aus dem Jahr 1992. Seinen Arbeiten gemein ist der markante Strich und ein häufig narratives Ideengerüst – gezeichnet, gemalt oder geschnitten und dreidimensional aufgeblättert.

Er ist ein Vertreter des Figuralismus.

Leben

Peetz wanderte 1985 in die USA aus und verbrachte ein Jahr an der Portsmouth Abbey School, Rhode Island. Seine dortigen Erfahrungen legten den Grundstein für seine kreative Ausrichtung. So erstellte er für das Jahrbuch die Seitenlayouts, entwarf am Macintosh 512 sein erstes digital reingezeichnetes Logo, das er in einer kleinen Druckerei in Newport, Rhode Island, drucken ließ und nahm am Unterricht für Ölmalerei und klassisches Zeichnen nach der Natur teil. Sein Abitur legte er 1989 in Baden-Württemberg mit Graecum und großem Latinum ab. Peetz studierte von 1989 bis 1992 in der Schweiz am US-College Art Center (Europe) Typographie, Zeichnen und Design (Abschluss with Honors, 1992). Er stellte seine erste Arbeit in der Axis Gallery (Tokio) aus, bevor er in Paris von 1993 bis 1996 drei Jahre bei dem französischen Designer Philippe Apeloig zunächst in die Lehre ging und später als Partner arbeitete. 1994 zeichnete Peetz für den Linotype-Wettbewerb die Schrift Optha 1, eine auf Braille basierende Schrift nach dem lateinischen Alphabet. Sie ist tastbar für Sehbehinderte und gleichzeitig als lateinische Buchstaben lesbar.

1996 kehrte Peetz nach Hannover zurück und gründete sein Atelier für Kunst und Gestaltung peetz & le peetz design.

Seit 2002 hält Peetz jährliche Gastvorlesungen über Gestaltung an der Technischen Hochschule in Lund (Schweden). Er ist seit 2015 stellvertretender Vorsitzender im Ausstellungsausschuss des Kirchenvorstandes der Marktkirche Hannover.

Fünfmal zeichnete Peetz den "Monstren-Kalender", eine schwarz-weiße Sammlung von jeweils 13 getuschten Karikaturen und Fratzen (1999 bis 2003). 2005 zeichnete Peetz den Kirchentage-Kalender mit erklärenden Zeichnungen zu den christlichen Feiertagen und textlichen Erklärungen von Manfred Becker-Huberti. 2007 verfasste er die Schrift Kunst im Unternehmerhafen anlässlich einer Podiums-Kunstapologie mit Maja Stadler-Euler unter Vorsitz der Kultursenatorin Prof. Dr. Karin v. Welck in Hamburg mit Katalog. Im Jahre 2008 widmete Peetz sich dem Schattentheater und erzählte Shakespeares Sommernachtstraum in 60 goldenen Schattenbildern nach. 2019 wurden bei Leticia Maciel in Genf großformatige narrative Portraitwerke aus den Jahren 2008 bis 2018 gezeigt. In einem übergroßen verspiegelten Hashtag stand Sebastian Peetz während einer öffentlichen Performance und zeichnete digitale Porträts der Ausstellungsbesucher. Die Ergebnisse ließen sich auf Mobilgeräte laden. Im Mai 2019 startete Peetz »Mnemometrix«, ein "digitales Liniengedächtnis", bei dem er sich Abbildungen sämtlicher Einflussgeber seines Lebens vornimmt, einfärbt und mit weißen Digital-Linien konturiert. Diese rein digitale Zeichentechnik definiert Peetz als "Pawtrace" – mit der Hand (engl. paw = Pfote) ein unterlegtes Bildmaterial bemalen (engl. trace = nachzeichnen).

Im September 2019 schuf Peetz als Teil der Bewerbung der Landeshauptstadt Hannover zur Kulturhauptstadt Europas 2025 vierzehn künstlerische Wahlplakate mit zentralen europäischen Fragen. Ebenfalls im September wurde bekannt, dass das skulptural gestaltete Bid Book der Landeshauptstadt um den Roman von Juan S. Guse für dieselbe Bewerbung von Peetz konzipiert und gestalterisch umgesetzt wurde. Hannover konnte damit den Vorentscheid gewinnen und erhielt Einzug ins Finale. Die finale Bewerbung konzipierte Peetz als eine 21 Meter lange Schriftrolle aus Textil, die in einer transparent-orangen Zeitkapsel aus dem fiktiven Jahr 2059 in das gegenwärtige Hannover über ein Rohrpost-System per Raum-Zeitkrümmung zurückgesendet worden sei. Es war das erste jemals an einem Stück produzierte Bewerbungsbuch einer europäischen Stadt und wurde für das Design mehrfach international ausgezeichnet.

2022 zeichnete Peetz für das Foyer des Motel One im Kurierhaus an der Oper Hannover das großformatige Lichtstrichwerk ›Kurierpärchen‹, das aus durchleuchtetem Epoxidharz gegossen wurde. Für seinen Werkzyklus ›Hannover Himmlisch‹ wurden für die 171 Zimmer metergroße Halbspiegel in stilisierter Zeitungsform des historischen Hannoverschen Kuriers gefertigt, welche fotografierten Himmel über charakteristischen Besichtigungsorten der Stadt durchscheinen lassen. Im selben Jahr errichtete Peetz in der Marktkirche Hannover, anlässlich des Jahrestages des Wiederaufbaus durch Dieter Oesterlen 1952, aus historischen original Klinkersteinen ein Land Art Gedenklabyrinth.

Sebastian Peetz ist verheiratet und Vater von drei Kindern.

Is the Time Right for a Heat Pump Installation?
We have plenty of winter left ahead of us, so hopefully your home heating system is still working away in an effective and efficient manner. That being said, now is a good time to take stock of your heating system and decide if the time has come for a heating replacement. If so, you may as well get it out of the way once the weather warms up. Of course, you may also be planning to replace your air conditioner before the weather gets too hot for the season. In either event, the time is right for a heat pump installation in Des Moines, IA.
Heat pumps are unique in that they are used to both heat and cool homes. We actually discussed precisely why the heat pump is so efficient not too long ago. With this in mind, let's go over some of the reasons that you may choose a heat pump installation once we're through the worst of the winter season.

• Becky Reilly of Omaha, Nebraska, was forced to call in a roofing company after discovering thousands of honeybees had invaded her home's attic, producing so much honey that it was dripping down the side of the house. "We heard a loud and rhythmic buzzing, and it was somewhat terrifying because we knew what it meant," Reilly told KETV. Jason Starkey of Takoda Green Roofing said he removed about 40 pounds of honey on Oct. 26 before moving the bees and tackling the damage, which he called "horrible." Local beekeeper John Gebuhr moved the bees to his garage, but he is pessimistic about their survival through the winter. But Reilly's friends and neighbors are thrilled: They're getting honey for Christmas! [KETV, 11/9/2017]
• An Indonesian museum, De Mata Trick Eye Museum in Yogyakarta, has been forced to remove an exhibit that encouraged visitors to take a selfie with a waxwork of Adolf Hitler. The figure, which stood in front of a giant image of the entrance to Auschwitz concentration camp, had been on display since 2014, and the museum said it was one of the most popular displays. Metro News reported that the museum originally defended the exhibit as "fun," but when the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Los Angeles demanded its removal, the museum complied, taking it down on Nov. 10.

Biography – ODELL, WILLIAM HUNTER – Volume XII (1891-1900) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
Source: Library and Archives Canada/MIKAN 3415395
ODELL, WILLIAM HUNTER, lawyer, office holder, and judge; b. 26 Nov. 1811 in Fredericton, son of William Franklin Odell* and Elizabeth Newell; m. 18 Sept. 1849 Elizabeth Ann Bliss in Halifax, and they had four daughters and a son; d. there 26 July 1891.
Named in honour of Major-General Martin Hunter, William Hunter Odell was at the centre of a dazzling web of connections which rather overshadow the last of the notable Odells. His paternal grandfather was the Reverend Jonathan Odell*, the loyalist poet and New Brunswick provincial secretary. One of his sisters married the powerful surveyor general Thomas Baillie*. His wife was a daughter of Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge William Blowers Bliss*, the son of Chief Justice Jonathan Bliss* of New Brunswick and virtually adopted son of Chief Justice Sampson Salter Blowers* of Nova Scotia; her sisters married bishops Hibbert Binney* of Nova Scotia and James Butler Knill Kelly* of Newfoundland.
Reared in Fredericton and educated at King's College, William Hunter Odell was admitted an attorney on 18 July 1835 and a barrister on 8 Feb. 1838. One of the fixed features of loyalist office-holding in New Brunswick was the attempt to pass preferment on to a son, of which the 60-year tenure of Jonathan and William Franklin Odell as provincial secretary and clerk of the Council was the most conspicuous example. By the time the third Odell's career was to be launched such blatant nepotism was no longer uncontroversial. Thus, when in 1837 the departing lieutenant governor, Sir Archibald Campbell, was induced to appoint young Odell to the lucrative situation of clerk of the crown in the Supreme Court though he was absent from the province and not yet a barrister, the outrage was such that the newly arrived Sir John Harvey* was soon persuaded to supplant him in favour of George Frederick Street Berton*. Despite Harvey's enmity towards the Odells and despite a discreditable confrontation with drunken soldiers in the streets of Fredericton, Odell was allowed to act as his father's deputy provincial secretary from 1838 to 1844, and from 1839 was clerk of the Executive Council. In 1847 he was made a judge of the Court of Common Pleas for York County.
Odell was appointed to the Legislative Council in 1850 and, in genteel succession, to the Canadian Senate in 1867, where he attended faithfully but spoke rarely. An inoffensive conservative, he was involved in public politics only as postmaster general in Albert James Smith*'s short-lived anti-confederate administration, from 1865 to 1866. His contribution to the anti-confederate cause consisted chiefly of the pseudonymous verse satire The federation spider's web which, though perhaps surprising doggerel from a grandson of Jonathan Odell, hit comically at its mostly Upper Canadian targets.
Odell is now remembered only as the last New Brunswicker to fight a duel, for which Bishop John Medley excommunicated him in 1848. At his death his Senate colleagues mourned him simply as a dignified gentleman of impeccable pedigree, an epitaph the last of the New Brunswick Odells would not have disdained. For some years before he died Senator Odell had lived in Halifax. When the last of his four spinster daughters – recalled by memoirist Charles Stewart Almon Ritchie as "foolish, ugly, innocent ladies . . . their silks creaking, their gold bangles tinkling" – died there in 1937 the Odell line in the Maritimes became extinct.
D. G. Bell
[There appears to be little doubt that William Hunter Odell is the author of The federation spider's web; a serio-comic, politic ode, suited to the times; by Dorothea Doggerel, spinster, edited by herself, cum privilegio of her sex (n.p., 1865). There is no internal evidence indicating his authorship, although the phrase cum privilegio points strongly to a lawyer. All of the still locatable copies are from the Odell estate (the N.B. Museum has three) and one has the ascription "written by William Hunter Odell" entered in the hand of a mature female of the last century, presumably one of his daughters.
Apart from commissions of office and property papers, the Odell family papers at the N.B. Museum contain nothing on William Hunter. The museum's Odell library does, however, have a large selection of his books, as well as those of his father and grandfather. d.g.b.]

Jen Bekman has all the fun stuff over on her blog. I guess the NY Times reported that Thomas Struth - one of the most well know photographers to come out of the Becher's Dusseldorf stable - got married to on the weekend to Tara Bray Smith in New York - an apparently talented (and good looking) novelist..
The Times article is very sweet - a real artistic romance. So perhaps we should expect more of Struth's flower pictures? (Bee's comment below has frightening possibilities - the first round of Becherite baby pictures...). And of course, imo, Struth is one of the best of the Dusseldorf School.

On September 7, 2016 the WHO Europe launched its new action plan for chronic diseases, and is appealing for urgent joint policy action from individual countries to achieve global goals and targets.
3. Maximizing population coverage with effective treatment and care.
Priority interventions at population level include food product reformulation and improvement: salt, fats and sugars; salt reduction; promoting healthy consumption via fiscal and marketing policies on tobacco, alcohol, processed food; promoting physical activity; promoting clean air.
On salt reduction, the envisioned action is to "develop, extend and evaluate salt reduction strategies to continue progress across food product categories and market segments".
Priority interventions at individual level include cardio-metabolic risk assessment and management; early detection and treatment of major NCDs.
Supporting interventions include the promotion of mental health.
The full action plan is available here . It will be further discussed during the regional committee meeting on 12-15th September.
"We know that managing noncommunicable diseases and conditions can unlock unimaginable health gains. Actions taken today by the whole of government will determine whether countries succeed in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). People who will die in middle age in 2030 from preventable causes are young adults today. There could not be a greater sense of urgency if we want to prolong lives," said WHO Regional Director for Europe, Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab. "Tackling cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one example of the need for joined-up policy action. CVD is the leading cause of premature mortality within the European Region. Reducing this burden requires focusing on population-level, targeted approaches across a wide range of issues – tobacco control, alcohol control, reducing consumption of salt and saturated and trans fats, and hypertension control." Dr Jakab continued.
Although population-level interventions and improvements in health care contribute considerably to the declining mortality rates in many countries, there is vast room for improvement in both areas. For example, better detection and control of raised blood pressure and high cholesterol at population level could have immediate effect – yet these conditions are diagnosed, treated and controlled in only a fraction of the general population identified as being at high risk. In addition, although cardiac rehabilitation programmes assist in recovery from heart attacks and stroke, improve quality of life and reduce the likelihood of further illness, cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention are among the most under-used interventions. For instance, only half of all coronary patients are advised to participate in a secondary prevention and/or rehabilitation programme.
The WHO European Region will launch a new action plan for NCDs at the Regional Committee meeting in Copenhagen in September 2016. The plan outlines actions to considerably reduce the burden of NCDs, improve quality of life and make healthy life expectancy more equitable. For example, many conditions are not detected early enough for effective treatment: 30–40% of cancers in eastern Europe have already spread by the time they are diagnosed. Some diseases can be diagnosed early by raising the awareness of the general public and professionals of the early signs and symptoms. In addition to early detection of NCDs, the action plan advocates the use of fiscal policies and marketing restrictions to promote healthy eating, reformulating food products so that trans fats are eliminated and saturated fats are replaced by unsaturated fats, reducing salt and sugar without adding harmful alternatives and increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviour through health system and environmental modifications.
The plan also highlights how gains in one area benefit other conditions. Achieving the SDGs requires focusing on a broader set of risk factors and determinants, particularly unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, overweight and obesity and two new elements of the NCD action plan: air pollution and early detection and management of disease.
The WHO NCD project office based in the Russian Federation is initiating action in 23 countries, representing a major increase in capacity to address NCDs in the European Region. It is expected to lead the Region in using evidence-based best practices and to promote an intersectoral approach to communicating policy and sharing information. Priorities will be based on the NCD action plan, which can be seen as an important milestone on the way to the UN General Assembly in 2018, where the achievements of the UN Declaration of 2011 will be reviewed.
