5 Women Who Changed the World
Girls & STEM, STEM
The movie, "Wonder Woman," directed by Patty Jenkins, came out nearly a month ago and showed boys and girls everywhere that men aren't the only ones that can be super heroes! It's only a plus that as of June 25th, the movie is the "highest-grossing live-action film directed by a woman in the world, ever," according to Vanity Fair. As cool as it is to see women achieving success in the film industry, it's important to remember that there have been plenty of women that have changed the world over the course of history, whether they were wearing capes or not. Here are five women who changed the world and why we think they're superheroes!

text: MIXOLOGY The Conductor and the W ith a name that sounds more like the best college class ever than a bar, Mixology Joe Brooke makes the Maestro's Special Fizz, but this one ought to be called "Special-er." Made with a batch of Salvatore Calabrese's very own limoncello, it's truly awesome. 101, a lovely, open-air Los Angeles resto-bar perched atop Planet Dailies at The Original Farmers Market, is Joe Brooke's new playground. The charm- ing and wry barman has been a long- time darling of the Los Angeles cocktail set, and in his new role as Mixology 101 Cocktail Conductor, Brooke has hit his stride. Here, Brooke executes the vision of legendary bartender Salvatore Calabrese, relying on his unique blend of wit and wisdom to bring Calabrese's cocktail philosophy to life for the uninitiated and the expert alike. The menu, designed by Calabrese, manages to balance playful innova- tion with classic cocktology: This is market fresh mixology, for certain, but most important, says Brooke, this is mixology with a purpose. "Studying under Salvatore was like living in The Matrix," explains Brooke, "because, for the fi rst time in my life, it really felt like my eyes were open. He showed me how everything you do in a cocktail, from start to fi nish, has a purpose." To prove his point, Brooke whips up a Spicy Fifty, a sweet/spicy concoction that originated at Calabrese's famed London bar, FIFTY. As I take my fi rst sip, I'm hit by a pleasant sweetness that gives way to an intriguing swirl of fresh, juicy acidity, which transforms into a dry, lingering heat. "Salvatore likens this cocktail to the journey of life," says Brooke. "In hitting three points on your palate, it recreates moments of life, from the lovely sweetness on the tip of your tongue that reminds us of our youth, to the complexities of middle age, and on to 90 / the tasting panel / june 2012 L.A. BARMAN JOE BROOKE MIXES WITH A PURPOSE story and photos by Rachel Burkons the twilight of your life that lingers and tapers off slowly." It's a lovely story befi tting a killer quaff, so as Brooke prepares the next purpose-driven cocktail for me, I brace myself for another journey in a glass. With one sip of the Maestro's Special Fizz, I'm whisked away to the Amalfi Coast, fl oating on a cloud of bubbles and sweet lemon tartness. I sigh contentedly, and Brooke gives me a knowing grin. "It's like drinking a back rub," he says, apt as ever. Brooke sud- denly remembers he has one more of Salvatore's tricks up his sleeve to show off, and springs into action. "Do you like Martinis?" he asks, quickly getting to work on the most classic Simple, yet top-secret, this Tanqueray Martini is made using Salvatore Calabrese's secret weapon. of classic cocktails, a London dry gin Martini. Moments later, I'm drinking the best Martini of my life: Surprising viscosity turns Tanquerary into liquid heat, gliding across my tongue with effortless smoothness. No ordinary Joe himself, Brooke knows this is no ordinary Martini. "This," he says, holding up a small atomizer, "is Salvatore's secret ingredient." The Maestro may have passed along his secret to the Cocktail Conductor, but this writer's in no position to share—you'll just have to enroll in Mixology 101's Martini course yourself. Maestro

Your wall bed is designed to help you take control of your space and add to the functionality of any room. So why not add side cabinets for storing, displaying or stowing items?
Side cabinets are made to match the style and finish of the bed cabinet, so that together, all three pieces become a comprehensive unit. They are freestanding and attached to the Murphy bed, not into the wall. This makes it easy to change the side cabinets for something different later, if you so desire.
• Bookcases – this is a popular option or the home office, but it also works well in a guest bedroom or student's room.
• Display cases – add a display case with glass or wood shelves and perhaps a light to showcase your treasured collections.
• Wardrobe Closet – space to store or hang your favorite clothing, accessories and shoes.
• Set of drawers – neatly stow away anything you like in a set of drawers.
• Storage behind doors – here's another way to store items out of sight and give your room a clean, uncluttered look.
All of these ideas are options on any of our standard Murphy beds. But that doesn't mean you cannot customize them. For instance, you can choose the shelving material (glass or wood), the number of shelves and the type of cabinet you would like on each side of the bed. Add lighting or a power strip, as well, if you wish.
Side cabinets are just one more way to make your Murphy bed perfect for your personal needs.


Most people visiting Florida can pack summer clothes since it's usually hot, but it can be quite cool when visiting in February at Disney World. Plan on wearing layers. Start the day with a jacket and/or long sleeves and then remove layers as the temperatures warm up. Some people do swim in February, but not too many.

I consider this to be the pinnacle of The Orb's imagination and weirdness. None of their releases after this have inspired me as much.

Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year. More than presents, lighted trees and time with loved ones, now is when we celebrate the birth of Christ. It's a holy season for Christians—a time to bask in God's glory shown to us through His Son Jesus Christ.
Yet, even with the splendor and joy of Christmas all around, you or someone you know may be convinced Jesus was just another man, possibly a prophet, but certainly not the Messiah.
Jesus is in fact unique. There are numerous things that set Him apart from other religions—with biblical prophecy and proof to back up each of them.
From the very beginning, God had a plan. And through hundreds of prophecies in the Old Testament, God prepared the world for the coming of His Son. Jesus really did live to die for the sins of humanity.
2. Jesus was born of a virgin.
Just as Isaiah said, the virgin Mary did indeed conceive and have a Son who is called Immanuel. Jesus being born of a virgin and the prophecy of this event show God's infinite power and knowledge. He defied nature to bring His Son to the earth.
You can know Jesus, the Messiah.
3. Jesus was rejected by His people.
In biblical times, building foundations were built from stone, starting with a single stone placed in the corner as a guide for the entire structure. The cornerstone was essential to the structure of the building and ensured each wall would be balanced, straight and solid.
God's Word tells us Jesus was sent to be the cornerstone for the world but, He would be rejected in the process.
Isaiah, whose name means "salvation of the Lord," is known as one of the greatest prophets in the Bible. The coming of Christ is foretold throughout the book of Isaiah, with Isaiah 53 explaining just how much Jesus would suffer during His sacrifice for our sins.
There are more than 300 other prophecies Jesus fulfilled with 100 percent accuracy—something no psychic, medium, or other religion can guarantee. God promised He'd send a Savior for the world. And He did.
Believe in the Christ of Christmas Today.

I liked reading this book, it has caused me to rethink my ranking of these three in my thoughts of WWII. It is a well written and researched book. If you are interested in WWII you should take the time and read it. ( )
Philip100 | Oct 15, 2014 |
Excellent new biography about the relationship between three friends as they influenced the course of history, and how war can threaten to break apart even the strongest of friendships. Focuses a lot on the main there, with the other figures of the war being mentioned mainly in a supporting way. The use of quotations and oral sources provides an excellent view into the psychology of these generals. A fine book. ( )
HadriantheBlind | Mar 30, 2013 |
Intertwines the histories of these three important figures of WWII in a straight-forward but sympathetic manner. The flaws of each are discussed, but are balanced by the great contributions each made to the success of the war. Interesting information on the close friendships between the three despite such different personalities and backgrounds. One of the more successful of the books written some 60 years after the fact and gleaned entirely from secondary sources. ( )

Brothers – Rivals – Victors is an interesting read. Jonathan W. Jordan has managed to intertwine the stories of three American generals who arguably brought about eventual victory in Europe during World War II. He pulls no punches. Those who have watched the overly positive biographies on Generals Patton, Bradley and Eisenhower will want to prepare themselves before diving into the six hundred and thirty-five pages of this book.
Jordan is fair however and even though my favourite general takes a beating throughout the pages of his book, I forgive him because he is one of the first to be brutally honest about good ol' Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery. If the swagger stick wielding egomaniac is your favourite, it's best that you pass this book up. The bitter truths within will hurt.
However, if you can get past the bitter truth, this book gives a no holds barred history of the three generals and their battles amongst themselves and the battles that liberated Europe.
I gave it four stars. I would have given it four and a half, but ^&$%, I do have to take offence to what is said about my *$&(#@!&^ favourite general. Oh just go and buy the *%@^ book! You won't regret it! :)

I have read a fair number of biographies on WWII generals. I think that this book is one the best to outline the background and relationships between three of the most visible American generals in the ETO. Eisenhower, Bradley and Patton had a unique relationship. Each had their own challenges to deal with. The book dwells on the overlaps of the three men and how their own challenges effected their relationships with each other.
There are various things that were brought to light that I had not fully appreciated before. For example, the friendship between Ike and Patton dates back to 1919 when they first met. The numerous letters between them referenced in the book illuminate the depth of their early friendship. For several years after WWI both were probably the only pioneers of tank warfare that really appreciated its pending role in future conflicts. Patton was able to retain his abundant enthusiasm for armored warfare as the 'branch of decision'. Ike, as an Infantry officer, had to later temper his views in order to stay viable for promotion (and to stay in the Army). As the US war involvement deepened through North Africa, Sicily and then northern Europe their friendship was forced to evolve into a command relationship. It appears Ike could handle this evolution better than Patton.
The almost grudging, almost antagonist relationship between Bradley and Patton is explored in depth better than in any other book I have read about them. There was certainly more to it than was depicted in the 1970 movie, Patton.
If you have only read about Bradley through Patton biographies, you may not appreciate Ike's utmost respect for Bradley's leadership and organizational acumen. The GI General was not one to toot his own horn, thus his low key nature have made his contributions to the war effort not fully appreciated.
All three generals had personal ambitions, but the author makes a good effort in explaining that ultimately each would do ever was required to support the war effort (whether they liked it or not).
If I had one criticism about the book it would be that the author sometimes seems overly familiar with book's figures. Statements like, "Omar Bradley gritted his false teeth and surrendered Highway 124..." during the Sicily campaign chapter or "Bradley's jaw clenched as he walked past the large operations maps that hung from the wall of his paneled trailer" during the St. Lo operation made me flinch. While the book is replete with footnotes to primary and secondary book references and oral interviews recordings, I doubt seriously that the author actually knew some of the more very personal habits of these generals.
So, less the above exclusion, I found the book to be an excellent read. If you have read other books on these generals or have some working knowledge of their biographies, you will greatly appreciate this book
On a personal note, Patton died just over 15 years before I was born. After my birth, I had 4 days of the Eisenhower presidency. However, I actually saw Bradley at West Point my plebe year in 1980 while I was marching in a cadet parade to honor him. A year later I remember reading in the New York Times that he died in an elevator in NYC. The book indicates that he actually stayed mentally sharp up to his death. It is a rewarding feeling that the hobbled old guy who seemed to have trouble lifting his head that I saw in his wheelchair at the edge of the parade field likely actually appreciated the parade we put on for him.

The true story of the friendship-and rivalry-among the greatest American generals of World War II.
Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, General George S. Patton, and General Omar N. Bradley engineered the Allied conquest that shattered Hitler's hold over Europe. But they also shared an intricate web of relationships going back decades. In the cauldron of World War II, they found their prewar friendships complicated by shifting allegiances, jealousy, insecurity, patriotism, and ambition.
Meticulously researched and vividly written, Jonathan W. Jordan's Brothers Rivals, Victors recounts the battle for Europe through the eyes of these three legendary generals who fought to liberate two continents. For the first time in such detail, the bonds between these battle captains are explored, and readers are treated to a rare insider's view of life at the summit of raw, violent power. Throughout three years of hard, bloody warfare, Eisenhower, the Alliance's great diplomat, sought victory in the fighting qualities and tactical genius of his most trusted subordinates, Bradley and Patton. Bradley and Patton, in turn, owed their careers to Eisenhower, who protected them from the slings and arrows of politicians, rival generals, their allies, and the U.S. Navy. The twin pillars of their working relationships were duty and trust. Yet their friendship, so genuine and unalloyed before the war, would be put to the ultimate test as life-and-death decisions were thrust upon them, and honor and duty conflicted with personal loyalty.
Brothers Rivals Victors is drawn from the candid accounts of its main characters, and strips away much of the public image of "Ike" (Eisenhower), the "G.I.'s General" (Bradley), and "Old Blood and Guts" (Patton) to reveal the men lurking beneath the legend. Adding richness to this insider's story are the words and observations of a supporting cast of generals, staff officers, secretaries, aides, politicians, and wives, whose close proximity to Eisenhower, Bradley and Patton in times of stress and tranquility are brought together to produce a uniquely intimate account of a relationship that influenced a war. The story of how these three great strategists pulled together to wage the deadliest conflict in history, despite their differences and rivalries, is marvelously told in this eye-opening narrative, sure to become a classic of military history.

Hi, I'm 28 years old, a professional man from United Kingdom. Recently I had a penile enlargement procedure in Seoul, South Korea with Proud Urology Clinic.
I was previously looking for a similar procedure in London, however the treatment they offer in London is different and much more expensive. Therefore, I was looking for other options outside the UK and I got in touch with Clair. She replied very quickly and was extremely professional.
Clair booked my consultation with one of the doctors from Proud Urology Clinic in Seoul, she also provided transport and support throughout my whole stay in Korea.
The Clinic is very modern, clean and staff friendly and professional. The clinic is located in Gangnam district of Seoul, very easy to find and surrounded by many hotels and restaurants.
I met Dr Lee - extremely friendly and easy going doctor. He thoroughly explained to me different options, going through pluses and minuses of each.
I have decided to have MegaFill injection.
The surgery and post operative care was absolutely perfect. Because I had an additional circumcision I had to stay for 2 weeks in Korea, otherwise I could have gone home much sooner.
Overall, I felt safe and was treated in a very professional manner. There is absolutely no doubts that if I need any further treatment I will return to the same doctor and clinic.
Using this opportunity, I would like to thank you Clair, Dr Lee and the whole team from Proud Urology for taking care about me.

Bucket Filling Game è il primo videogioco multigiocatore visualizzabile in un televisore mai creato. È stato realizzato da Ralph H. Baer, ingegnere di origini tedesche, e da Bill Harrison, tecnico elettronico, e la prima partita è stata giocata il 15 maggio 1967.

Il gioco, realizzato in un laboratorio di Sanders Associates nel New Hampshire, vedeva lo schermo diviso in 2 metà: quella superiore era di colore nero mentre quella inferiore era di colore blu. Baer aveva realizzato una pellicola adesiva che andava applicata sullo schermo del televisore e che rappresentava il profilo di un secchio: l'idea del gioco era quella di far competere 2 giocatori con il primo che doveva idealmente pompare l'acqua nel secchio mentre il secondo che doveva pomparla fuori. I giocatori interagivano con il gioco mediante un pulsante a loro disposizione: premendo quello per riempirlo la parte blu dello schermo saliva di una riga mentre premendo quello per svuotarlo aumentava verso il basso la parte nera. Qualche tempo dopo gli stessi autori realizzarono la cosiddetta Brown Box, un prototipo di videogioco più avanzato che in seguito sarebbe stato commercializzato come Magnavox Odyssey, la prima console per videogiochi casalinga mai messa in commercio.

I was delving into some Abraham oldies seeking answers as usual, and I heard this clip that sent shivers all over my body.
I knew that this clip had what I needed to hear. I listened to it over and over again, and went to bed. The next day I listened again - over and over again.
Then I transcribed the part that resonated the most with me.
Usually when people are questioning their relationship with God it's when they have got themselves in a quagmire where they are far from the energy that is that.
"How can my life be better?" and we say, "seek things that feel good to you when you focus upon them".
"How am I doing?" and the answer is "Exceptionally well".
"What will come next?" and we say "whatever it is you choose".
Beautifull!! So nice , so good thx Z.
That was inspiring and empowering! "We are choosing with you, but we are not choosing for you" is a wake up call for me. Thank you so very much!
Marvelous! Thank you for sharing this!
There is much love here for you..

What Exactly Happens on the Crimson Tide Cruise?

When the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide meet in yet another "Game of the Century" situation, the country will have one focus. Ranked No. 2 and 3, respectively, in the first College Football Playoff rankings, the SEC West crown and, potentially, a berth in the postseason tournament will be at stake.
Heralded as one of the game's best rivalries, the reality is that it's been anything but in recent years. Since 2008, Alabama's won 10 of 12 meetings, including the 2012 BCS National Championship game that began an eight-game win streak. In two of the last three years, LSU's offense hasn't scored a single point. Needless to say, head coach Ed Orgeron and quarterback Joe Burrow are facing an uphill battle.
Most sportsbooks list Alabama coach Nick Saban and his team as a six-point favorite for this matchup, which surely has LSU fans on edge considering how dominant the Tigers' offense looked to this point in the season. Baton Rouge will be invading Tuscaloosa in force to even the odds, but back home in Louisiana, everyone is getting in on the rivalry smack talk.
The Baton Rouge Police Department started the action on Thursday morning, when its Facebook account said, "Saban drives one MPH below the speed limit in the passing lane. GEAUX TIGERS! BEAT BAMA!"

Not to be outdone, the BRPD followed up its troll of the football coach with another the next day, posting, "Saban filed a complaint about yesterday's post. GEAUX TIGERS! BEAT BAMA!"
Both posts combined for over 1,000 likes and a few hundred shares across Tiger country.
No one is safe from rivalry trolling, even a multi-time national championship winner like Saban. This is all in good fun, but you can be sure that friendly jabs will go by the wayside when LSU and Alabama meet on Saturday afternoon. Bust out the "BEAT BAMA" shirts if you want, but this score will be settled on the field.
Kickoff of that game is 3:30 p.m. ET, will air on CBS and ESPN College GameDay will be on hand. Despite speculation of his absence for an ankle injury, it appears to be all-systems-go for Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa in the biggest game of the 2019 college football season.
As a side note, the Tuscaloosa Police Department has not responded with a troll of their own.

Havard Rugland: How a Video Catches Fire from Press
2.5 Million Video Views, 1 NFL Dream
You may have seen Havard Rugland kicking a 60-yard field goal on Good Morning America. Perhaps you saw NBC Nightly News when he booted a football into the arms of a man in a moving boat. Or maybe you read the 1,200-word profile about him in The New York Times.
Havard received so much press around the New Year that you likely know about the 28-year-old Norwegian amateur-soccer-player-turned-football sensation. But do you know that his story caught fire through PRWeb?
When Havard posted a video of his jaw-dropping kicking exploits to YouTube in September, it averaged an impressive 5,000 views per day. That's good, but no viral sensation. Then, professional kicking coach Michael Husted, who began training Havard in December, suggested to media consultant Craig Kasnoff that they put out a press release. They turned to PRWeb, the world's #1 news release service. They used PRWeb three times between December 17th and December 23rd. The first release was when Michael began training Havard. The second was when Havard signed with agent Jill McBride Baxter. The third was the video tallied 100,000 views in a single day.
"When we sent out those PRWeb press releases, the video went viral," Michael says. "In weeks, it went from 490,000 views to closer to 2.5 million views as of today."
"It's impressive to see a media tool deliver a response like this," says Craig, a 16-year journalism veteran. "It's no coincidence that after we published the press releases about Havard, with information nobody else had, the major media outlets start picking the story up. The PRWeb press releases really moved Havard's video views, and his story, to a whole new level."
It doesn't look like Havard's story will die anytime soon. He has a workout with the New York Jets scheduled for the spring and has received inquiries from several other NFL teams. As the story progresses, PRWeb will be the primary tool used to maintain its momentum.
"I firmly believe that if we had gone about our normal business, he wouldn't have received the attention he's received," Michael says. "We hope to keep leveraging PRWeb for this story as it continues to grow – ideally, towards a happy ending."


The Indian subcontinent is formed of diverse ecological regions that have helped shape distinct regional cultural adaptations over the last several millennia, including settlement patterns and local human ecology. I understood this fundamental fact during my M.A. in Archaeology in 2012 and when I started my PhD in 2014 (Arjun 2018), I was faced with the dilemma of narrowing down on a specific regional context for my research. Eventually, I began my dissertation archaeological fieldwork in 2013 by focusing on three different regions of Karnataka: 1) Raichur Doab 2) Brahmagiri and 3) Koppa (Figure 1). The first two regions are in the semi-arid Deccan plateau and the third in the Western Ghats. These two climatic regions are characterized by very low rainfall and high rainfall respectively and thus have very different ecologies, types of rocks and minerals, formation of hills and valleys, rivers and even the kinds of archaeological sites found within. Over five years of fieldwork in these areas, I was able to make numerous observations on the emergence of regional landscapes and cultural patterns, as societies adapted to these varied ecological conditions. In this post, I will focus on the western part of the Raichur Doab.

A recent article in Nature titled "Early Middle Palaeolithic culture in India around 385–172 ka reframes Out of Africa models" has caused quite the uproar in news media in India and around the world, as it debunks the long-believed theory that complex tool-making emerged in the subcontinent after an influx of modern Homo Sapiens from Africa approximately 130,000 years ago. In fact, tools found at Attirampakkam, a site in Tamil Nadu, have been luminescence dated to 385,000 years old.
South Asian Archaeology spoke to the team, comprising Dr. Shanti Pappu, Dr. Kumar Akhilesh, Professor Yanni Gunnell and Professor A.K. Singhvi via email; and their answers have been consolidated. Drs. Shanti Pappu and Kumar Akhilesh are from the Sharma Centre for Heritage Education, India. The site was dated by Professor A.K. Singhvi and his team from the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, and the geomorphology is being studied by Professor Yanni Gunnell, Université de Lyon, Department of Geography, France.
In January 2014, I was asked by a senior functionary of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India if I would be interested in working on a transnational World Heritage nomination involving Maritime History of the Indian Ocean (Figure 1). This was a tremendous opportunity as I had researched, taught and published extensively on Maritime History and Archaeology of the Indian Ocean since 1994. It was also an opening to enter the haloed world of World Heritage matters in the Ministry. Two years ago I had made a shift from academia and teaching at the Centre for Historical Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University to take charge as the Chairperson of the National Monuments Authority under the Ministry of Culture. Getting involved with World Heritage and Maritime History provided the perfect route to combine my research interests with policy on and preservation of India's maritime heritage. One thing led to another and I was asked to edit a book on the historical and archaeological dimensions of the theme of Mausam or Mawsim, as the proposed project for transnational World Heritage nomination was named. My name was included in the official Indian delegation to the 38th World Heritage Committee meeting at Doha in Qatar held in June 2014 and I was asked to make a presentation to the delegates including the officials of the World Heritage Committee.
I first came across this image of Shiva and Parvati (Figure 1) as Uma Maheshvara in the Patna Museum; I was fascinated by the grace of this image as much as by its unabashed depiction of conjugal love. What incited my curiosity was the large number of these images found in the museum. What was the significance of the icon? Why were so many varieties of this particular image found from sites in Bihar over a long period of time from the 5th to the 13th centuries CE.
The classic Uma Maheshvara image shows Shiva and his consort Uma seated together on the same pedestal, caught in an intimate embrace. While Shiva may be seated on a stone cushion or lotus throne, Parvati sits on Shiva's lap or thighs. Parvati is always shown with two arms, while Shiva may have two, four or even more arms. Shiva is depicted as taller and Parvati small and almost child-like. They are both surrounded by a halo, bedecked in jewellery and carry different weapons and ornaments in their arms. Often their vahanas or mounts (Parvati's tiger and Shiva's Nandi bull), and other deities like Ganesha and devotees are also portrayed. The image represents cosmic procreation as well as the synthesis of two powerful and independent deities.
In the 1760s, fearing the imminent invasion of the Zamorin of Calicut and Mysore's Haidar Ali Khan, the King of Travancore, Dharma Raja, set aside his differences with the neighboring northern kingdom of Cochin to work together to build a defensive line. This 40-feet-high bulwark was called Nedumkotta — the famed Travancore Lines. The defense line stretched roughly 30 miles east-west and extended from the Dutch fort at Kodungallur near the western seaboard through the plains of the Periyar and Chalakudy rivers to the Western Ghats, which formed the eastern border of the Malabar states (Figure 1).
It took me a while to write this post. I spent a considerable amount of time reading up on how to start a blog, figuring out the technical aspects of deciding between different providers (Blogger or Wordpress) and choosing a domain name. Then I went on to read about the characteristics of good blogs, the relationships between academics and the public, and explored several blogs written by academics in my field and outside. Eventually, after many forays down these interesting but unproductive byways, I reached the conclusion that I was going about it all wrong. The problem was that instead of just writing, I was approaching the blog as an academic problem, the way I would go about writing an article to be submitted for peer-review somewhere. Where is the data, I was asking? How do I interpret this data? What does the literature say? What do other academics say and do?
I was so looking forward to seeing the movie Mohenjodaro - as one instance where a fascinating ancient civilization (and one we know solely from archaeological evidence) was adapted to the Bollywood scene. However, Mohenjodaro is merely a very poorly conceptualized backdrop set to a very average love story (when, oh when, will we stop making love stories for the sake of love stories?). The central question in my mind is this: why Mohenjodaro? The story could have fruitfully been placed in any modern-day context to much better effect.

get link Working with John Nathaniel was one of the craziest whirlwinds I've ever experienced. I got the opportunity to work with this amazing producer last March, and within THREE DAYS, "Cold Right Now" was complete. Yes, three days. I can barely believe it…and I was there!
source link Working with John is comparable to working with a mad scientist. He's frantic, in the absolute best way you can imagine, and has an incredible energy about him that's contagious. His hands fly across his keyboard, triggering sounds, all while humming to himself. It's truly amazing to watch. You can't help but be in a good mood when you're working with him, because he's always cracking jokes, making sounds of some kind, or just generally having a blast. John is the perfect example of someone I believe was born to be a producer. He hears things differently than the rest of us, and has enough energy to rival a five year old. Working on "Cold Right Now" with John was easily one of the highlights of my career so far.
go "Cold Right Now" was one of those songs that as soon as we wrote the chorus, we knew we had something we could rally behind. His absolute genius made me work harder and strive to be the best I could be. There were some points in studio where I felt like giving up because I couldn't get the sound I wanted, but John always encouraged me, so I picked myself up and tried again. And voila, "Cold Right Now" was born. I always felt very welcome working with John and can't wait to work with him again one day.

Ann Arbor's ACSI Finds Cable TV, Web Satisfaction Slipping
Posted on June 3, 2015 by
ANN ARBOR — People just don't like their cable TV, phone and Internet providers.
That's the rather bleak news from the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index scores for information services, including subscription TV, internet, wireless and wireline telephone, and computer software.
The ACSI was developed by the University of Michigan and is based in Ann Arbor.
The overall information industry's score dropped 3.4 percent over the past year to 68.8 on the ACSI's 0 to 100 scale. That's lower than satisfaction rates of health insurance companies, and getting close to satisfaction rates with federal government services.
Customer satisfaction rate with cable and satellite TV services tumbled to 63, tied with internet service providers – the worst score among 43 industries covered by the Index.
ACSI data, which is based on 14,176 customer surveys collected in the first quarter of 2015, show the decline results from poor customer service combined with higher prices.
"There was a time when pay TV could get away with discontented users without being penalized by revenue losses from defecting customers, but those days are over," said Claes Fornell, ACSI Chairman and founder. "Today people have more alternatives than ever before. Consumer abandonment of pay TV is shaking up the industry and lower satisfaction could mean even more cord cutting by subscribers ahead."
Subscription TV: Cable Companies Crash
The ACSI reports huge drops in customer satisfaction for Comcast and Time Warner Cable, following their failed merger. Already one of the lowest-scoring companies in the ACSI, Comcast fell 10 percent to a customer satisfaction score of 54. Meanwhile, Time Warner Cable earns the distinction as least-satisfying company in the nation after falling 9 percent to 51. Joining Time Warner Cable in the basement was ACSI newcomer Mediacom Communications (51), which serves smaller markets in the Midwest and South.
With a 4 percent gain to an ACSI score of 71, Verizon's FiOS service took the lead from DirecTV (down 1 percent to 68) and AT&T's U-verse (unchanged at 69). Cablevision Systems entered the ACSI as the highest-scoring large cable company; however, it only tied the lowest-scoring satellite provider, Dish Network, at 67.
Charter Communications (up 5 percent to 63) is going on a merger binge of its own with plans to acquire Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks (also at 65), which would make it the second-largest cable TV company in the country. Although Charter showed the most improvement in the industry, it may be difficult to maintain customer satisfaction momentum as the company combines operations with other providers. ACSI data suggest that mergers usually result in lower customer satisfaction, at least in the short term.
"Cable companies are trying to strengthen their positions through consolidation, but the benefits to consumers of one coaxial cable company absorbing another are questionable," said David VanAmburg, ACSI director. "The AT&T-DirecTV merger may be different, however, because it would allow AT&T to deliver TV service via multiple technologies."
Lack of Choice Leaves Customers Dissatisfied With ISPs
Sixty-one percent of U.S. households have just one or no high-speed Internet provider servicing their region and the lack of customer choice contributes to weak customer satisfaction. Even as Internet usage grows, customer satisfaction with ISPs remained unchanged at an ACSI score of 63 and tied with subscription TV for last place among 43 industries. Customers are frustrated with unreliable service, slow broadband Internet speeds and rising subscription prices –and they resent being locked into service contracts.
Two large ISPs did improve, and their gains were sizeable. AT&T U-verse picked up 6 percent to an ACSI score of 69, taking the lead from Verizon, which fell 4 percent to 68. Time Warner Cable gained 7 percent to 58. Bright House Networks matched the industry average at 63; Cablevision Systems and Frontier Communications debuted at 61.
Several ISPs suffered large drops in customer satisfaction, including CenturyLink (down 8 percent to 60), Cox Communications (down 9 percent to 58) and Charter Communications (down 7 percent to 57). Comcast stayed at the bottom of the category, slipping 2 percent to 56.
Apple Challenges Samsung for Cell Phone Lead; Customers Happiest with No- Contract Wireless Carriers
Customer satisfaction with cell phones was unchanged at 78, the highest score yet for the industry. The majority of new cell phones sold today are smartphones, which generally have higher satisfaction than feature phones. With some of the strongest scores in the entire ACSI, the two largest smartphone manufacturers led the way — Apple and Samsung Electronics. Apple advanced 1 percent to 80, the ACSI's commonly accepted standard of excellence and tied with Samsung, which fell 1 percent.
"Despite its high-scoring phones, Samsung may find it difficult to chip into Apple's market share because of the need to overcome the brand appeal that is Apple's mainstay," VanAmburg said. "Samsung gained an initial advantage as the first manufacturer to introduce large screens for smartphones, but with the launch of large-screen phones by Apple, its loyal customers have little reason to look elsewhere."
Nokia, whose devices and services business has been assumed by Microsoft Mobile, was down 3 percent to 75, falling behind Motorola Mobility (up 3 percent to 79). For BlackBerry, only the most satisfied customers remain, which pushed its score up 5 percent to 78.
Apple may share the lead with Samsung in overall scores, but in terms of smartphone devices, Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 took the lead at 86. Apple does not appear to have gained any advantage from the major redesign of its iconic iPhone in terms of user satisfaction. Several smartphones scored 82: iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 3. Motorola's Moto X was next at 81, followed by the LG G3, iPhone 5 and Galaxy S4 (all 80).
Meanwhile, customer satisfaction with wireless telephone service was down 2.8 percent to 70. The aggregate of smaller wireless companies had the highest customer satisfaction and even showed slight improvement (up 1 percent to 79). Smaller companies tend to be no-contract carriers with lower fees, which many customers see as better value.
In its first year as an ACSI-covered company, the prepaid phone provider TracFone Wireless took the lead at 77. Verizon Wireless dropped 5 percent to 71. Both T-Mobile and AT&T improved to tie at 70, while Sprint fell 4 percent to 65.
Fixed-Line Phone: No Longer Much of a Focal Point
Customer satisfaction with fixed-line telephone service fell 5.5 percent to 69 as landline usage continues to shrink; more than 44 percent of homes now forgo fixed-line service in favor of wireless.
Despite slipping 3 percent to 76, the average ACSI score of smaller local and long distance providers was much better than that of large providers. Vonage and Bright House Networks were near the top of the category (both 73). CenturyLink dipped 1 percent to 70, while Verizon declined 7 percent to 68. Cox Communications dropped 3 percent to tie Verizon and, just a notch below, Cablevision Systems entered the Index at 67.
AT&T's landline service suffered the most, down 10 percent to 65. Nevertheless, AT&T stayed ahead of both Comcast (down 4 percent to 64) and Time Warner Cable (down 3 percent to 63).
Satisfaction With Computer Software Backtracks
Customer satisfaction with software for desktops and laptops was down 2.6 percent to 74 as the combined score for smaller software manufacturers (including TurboTax and anti-virus programs) dropped 4 percent to 74.
Unchanged at 75, Microsoft still dominates the personal computer market, but consumers are turning to mobile and tablet devices where Microsoft has yet to get much traction. The company's apps are limited and Microsoft maintains a fairly heavy concentration on traditional software for PCs and corporate systems.

Alexander Macalister (1844 à Dublin en Irlande - 1919) est un médecin, un anatomiste et un zoologiste irlandais.

Biographie

Son père, Robert Macalister, est secrétaire à la société irlandaise de l'École du dimanche. Son père le destine d'abord au commerce. Il montre très jeune des dispositions pour la biologie et fréquente assidûment le Jardin botanique de Glasnevin, ce qui attire l'attention du conservateur du jardin. Celui-ci conseille au père d'Alexander de l'orienter vers des études scientifiques. Alexander est inscrit, sur recommandations, à l'âge de 14 ans, à l'école de médecine de Dublin, la Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. À 16 ans, il devient démonstrateur d'anatomie à l'école. Il entre peu après au Trinity College de Dublin et devient professeur de zoologie à l'université de Dublin alors qu'il n'avait pas fini son cursus. Après l'obtention de son diplôme, il devient professeur d'anatomie et de chirurgie au Trinity College en 1877.

Auteur prolifique, il commence à 26 ans la rédaction d'un grand traité de zoologie. Son traité d'anatomie paraît en 1889. Il commence à s'intéresser à l'histoire de l'anatomie.
