MAYHEM Bassist Says He Was "On [His] Way" To Killing Euronymous Himself In 1993
Well this took a turn.
Photo by Justina Villaneuva
The 1993 murder of Mayhem guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth by Varg "Count Grishnackh" Vikernes has been chronicled in the Lords Of Chaos book and movie, as well as just about every story you've ever heard about black metal. 26 years later the story has taken a new turn.
In an interview with Consequence Of Sound, bassist Jørn "Necrobutcher" Stubberud says he was planning on killing Euronymous as well. Stubberud says he was headed down to Aarseth's house when he saw the headlines about the murder. Stubberud says he rushed home to hide his weapons thinking he would've been the main suspect, but also didn't know that Vikernes was already known to be the killer.
"OK, I can tell it right now, because I've been holding it in for many years, but actually I was on my way down to kill him myself. And when it happened, I saw the morning paper, thinking 'F**k, I gotta get home to my place and get out all the weapons and drugs and shit I had in my house, because they're coming to my house because I'm probably going to be the No. 1 suspect for this.'
But little did I know that the Norwegian police already knew that Count Grishnackh [Varg] was going down also to kill him. Because they bugged his phone, and he actually talked about this killing before he went to Bergen so the cops already knew that he was coming, so they probably were thinking to themselves, 'We didn't nail this guy for the church burnings, so let's nail him for murder, and get rid of this f–king guy in Oslo the same time.' So that's basically what happened."
Necrobutcher left Mayhem in 1991 after the suicide of Per "Dead" Ohlin. At the time of the murder of Aarseth, Vikernes was the bassist of Mayhem.

Turns out Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa is not a fan of tattoos.
In a press briefing at Camp Crame held last Monday, April 2, the PNP Chief expressed his thoughts about uniformed men having tattoos.
"Pasensya na sa mga may tattoo ha, alam ko you will invoke your right to express your artistic desires. Sa inyo art, sa amin taboo. Prangkahan tayo… dahil pangit, parang criminal naman tignan 'di ba, parang sa kulungan puro may tattoo. Parang ex-convict ang pulis 'pag naka-uniporme na maraming tattoo," Dela Rosa said.
His comment came after Davao City 1st District Rep. Karlo Nograles's request for the PNP and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to allow police and soldier recruits with tattoos.
But Dela Rosa insists that the "no-tattoo" requirement is a must.
"Discriminatory talaga 'yung recruitment process namin. We discriminate from the qualified police and from the disqualified," he said.
However, if a tattooed person wants to join the PNP or AFP, Dela Rosa advises them to have their tattoos removed.
In a separate statement, Department of National Defense (DND) chief Delfin Lorenzana said that he's also not in favor for the removal of the "no-tattoo" policy of the PNP and AFP.


I came out tonight–the first clear night in almost two months–to observe some variable stars and take several images of standard star fields.
Unfortunately, the filter wheel wouldn't work (ERROR=1) even after replacing the O-ring and cleaning the new O-ring.
The technical manual suggests there can be a problem with grounding if some of the RJ45 (ethernet) cable pins into the controller are bent, but they do not seem to be.
Next step will be to call Optec support and see what they say, and/or open up the filter housing and clean the motor shaft.
But, for now at least, the telescope is not usable.


Once you start using Ableton Live, it doesn't take long to realise just how fast and fluid the software is. It allows you to take an idea and run with it, and before you know it, a new track is taking shape.
However, you'll also quickly realise that, to get the best out of the software, you'll need a hardware controller, but the last thing you want to do is get one that will compromise Live's painless workflow and your creativity. Fortunately, you don't have to, because Novation's Launchkey controllers are designed to work seamlessly with the software without slowing you down.
Set up is as simple as it could be: just plug in the Launchkey over USB and you're ready to go. The faders, knobs and pads are automatically assigned to those in Live, so you can start controlling your grid, instruments, effects and mixer right away. Power comes from your computer, and there are no drivers to install*. Your mouse will be able to take a well-earned break during your music production sessions, with the Launchkey becoming the beating heart of your Live control setup.
The standard Launchkey is available in 25-, 49 and 61-note varieties; in each case you get a lightweight synth-style keyboard that's easy to play. However, it's also velocity-sensitive, so you can add a touch of expression when you need to. The RGB-backlit pads are velocity-sensitive, too, so as well as being great for triggering clips, you can also use them for tapping out dynamic beats.
If you're short on space or want something portable, take a look at the Launchkey Mini, too. This compact controller loses the faders and has mini rather than full-size keys, but both these and the 16 pads retain velocity-sensitivity.
Of course, Launchkey isn't just for Ableton Live. It works great with any HUI-compatible DAW, and you can configure the setup via Novation's InControl mode. That said, a copy of Ableton Live Lite comes with each model - as do several plugin synths and a selection of samples - so even if you don't have any production software, you've got everything you need to start making music.
Find out more about the Launchkey series on the Novation website.
*A driver is only required for Windows users when using Launchkey MK2 with more than one program at the same time.


It's that time of year again when we head out to Handley's Holiday Hillside and walk through the rows to find our tree. This is the third year we have gone to cut our own tree and I think I can safely say it's a Dieter Family tradition now.
This year there was a light covering of snow but it was quite comfortable in the sun. There were so many beautiful trees to pick from this year since we had lots of wonderful rain this year. The boys mostly liked playing in the snow instead of picking trees.
We decided on our Canadian Fir tree again this year, though I was almost swayed by a gorgeous blue spruce for a hot second. The Fir just has the best shape and branches for ornaments. And the smell of pine is amazing.
The boys let me take their picture with the tree before helping with the falling. Jered carried the tree back to the shake and bag area all by himself. It made me realize won't be long before the boys will be carrying the tree for us.
I remembered to pack the tripod for the camera this year and got a pretty good family portrait . I think this one will be going in the Christmas cards this year. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to a long winter break.
Gorgeous pictures, I love that you guys get to pick a tree whilst there is snow on the ground!!
Thank you! The snow has melted since then, but hopefully we will have some before Christmas.

This Award is presented to an individual whose lifelong passion has resulted in the preservation and celebration of the history and stories of a legendary historic hotel.
A lifelong Chicagoan and part of the Palmer House team for over 36 years, Ken Price is an integral voice in ensuring the hotel's rich history and story of its famed founder Potter Palmer and his wife Bertha Honoré Palmer lives on for generations to come. He created and runs the hotel's museum, which is filled with priceless historical artifacts. In 2009, Ken created, and has since led, the wildly popular, award-winning 'History is Hott!' tour. He has taken more than 32,000 guests and tour goers through The Palmer House's rich history as it relates to Chicago and the nation, and shows them iconic spaces such as the breathtaking lobby and legendary Empire Room, where the likes of Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and Liberace performed. "If you remove the 'H' and 'I' from History, what do you have," Ken Price asks frequently. "You have Story!" His passion is sharing the stories of the Palmer House, especially those from his favorite historians—the hotel guests.
Ken's route to historian and publicist started at the Chicago History Museum nearly 40 years ago where for every weekend for eight months he immersed himself in the stories about Potter and Bertha Palmer and the other Founders of Chicago. Prior to his Palmer House career, Ken attended Chicago Law School and served six years as a writer in the U.S. Army Psychological Operations division at Fort Bragg. Ken's philosophy for sharing history is "what the eye doesn't see, the mind doesn't comprehend; what the fingers don't touch, the heart doesn't feel." At the Palmer House, guests learn about the stories by seeing and touching actual historic artifacts and memorabilia in the museum and of course, tasting one of the more than 50,000 Palmer House chocolate brownies baked and served each year using the same recipe when the brownie was first created at The Palmer House in 1893.

COLD CASES: 2 local prostitutes strangled in '90s by same killer?
The investigation of Juanita Chevalier's murder, shown in the April 11, 1995 edition of the Intelligencer Journal.

Two prostitutes, one killer?
By BRETT HAMBRIGHT | Staff Writer
The cold cases were stones in the shoes of a retiring detective:
Brutal killings of two local prostitutes, found strangled and abandoned decades ago in secluded Lancaster County locations.
A security guard discovered Roxanne Myers in 1998 on the Lancaster General Health campus in East Hempfield, Township at a former dead end road that is now a busy thoroughfare.
Three years earlier, Juanita Chevalier was left for dead along an abandoned city rail line, about a football field's distance from Hazel Street.
No one's been charged, and police say they don't have a strong suspect in either case.
Detective Dennis Arnold, a cop here for 44 years before retiring this summer, believed the women might have been killed by the same person, possibly a client.
The investigations eventually led to a suspected serial killer of women and a search for a blue pickup truck that was never found.
At this point, investigators say, someone needs to talk to break the cases.
"We truly believe there is someone out there that has information that hasn't come forward," said East Hempfield Detective Matthew Pohle, now leading the Myers probe. "We're hoping their conscience gets the best of them."
Or that someone needs to cut a deal with detectives.
"That's most likely what's going to break these old cases," District Attorney Craig Stedman said recently. "It's very unlikely you're going to get an eyewitness.
"People know what happened. It's a matter of whether it's in their best interests to talk."
Prostitutes, same trauma
Investigators immediately latched onto the victims' occupation as potentially related to their killings.
"They were both prostitutes," Arnold said, filing his final reports in his last month of work. "Different races, but same type of trauma."
Myers, 30, was seen on the city's Water Street — a longtime venue for prostitution — just hours before she was murdered.
She was discovered Jan. 16, 1998, at the end of Spring Valley Road, before it was extended to connect Good Drive and Route 741.
She had been beaten over the head and strangled.
Police suspected she was killed elsewhere and dumped on the south end of the health campus.
"We received reports of a blue pickup truck in the area not too long before the police dispatch," Pohle said. "(It's) never been located or identified."
Chevalier was found April 10, 1995, along an abandoned railroad bed near Hazel and South Prince streets.
A pedestrian found the 28-year-old city woman no more than eight hours after she was killed and left there, police believe. Stacks of junked cars from a nearby trucking business skirted the woman's body.
Witnesses reported that people were known to hang out along the rail line, but a suspect description never developed.
"We certainly explored and followed up on a variety of leads," said city police Capt. Kent Switzer, an original investigator of the homicide. "In recent years, it's been looking more like a cold case."
Following leads
Arnold thought he had a major break in the case in 1999. A New Jersey man, suspected in the killings of numerous women and other assaults, became a person of interest. James D. Gunning's alleged victims were white prostitutes, just like Myers.
All the women were strangled.
And sure enough, witnesses reported seeing Gunning driving a pickup truck, although green, during an attempted homicide in Hamilton, New Jersey.
Lancaster County President Judge Joseph Madenspacher, then district attorney, pointed to those similarities, but investigators said recently that Gunning was vindicated in the local cases by providing an alibi regarding his whereabouts. (In 2003, however, Gunning pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter of a woman in Camden, New Jersey.)
Investigators said physical evidence from both the Myers and the Chevalier cases is being re-examined.
"In (recent) years," Pohle said, "DNA technology has gotten a lot better."
Pohle said he continues to explore the single-killer theory, even though a solid link — like DNA evidence — hasn't come to light.
"That's always been considered," he said of the theory. "There's nothing solid to show the murders are (definitely) related, but I wouldn't rule that out."
Accused criminals in a pinch often become crucial witnesses.
Arnold said that might be the missing piece in puzzling together the two murders.
"I always thought it would have been nice to find just one more name," he said, "to tie up loose ends."
Local investigators pointed to several cases that heated up years later, when previously unknown witnesses opened up.
In a 1994 case, Rickey Campbell was killed in the city over a stolen $10 bag of cocaine. Five years later, Campbell's killer was charged. And in 2000, Wayne R. Dixon was convicted of shooting Campbell as he drove off with the cocaine.
Dixon initially thought he got away with murder. But his bragging about it proved to be his undoing.
He boasted to a prison cellmate while serving a sentence for drug-dealing, according to Stedman, who prosecuted Dixon. That man went to police and later provided testimony that led to the first-degree murder conviction.
"Suddenly," Stedman said, "(the witness) was willing to talk to help himself out."
It is the 1979 case, involving the killings of two elderly Lancaster city siblings, that Madenspacher calls "the gold standard for cold cases."
Horace and Mary Swarr were robbed and bound, then left inside their West Walnut Street home. They died days later.
The case went unsolved for 10 years.
The break in the case: Conversations at a Maryland bar over the heist. "Somehow, that information filtered back here," Madenspacher recalled.
Five Maryland men were charged. Four were convicted of murder; the fifth pleaded guilty to planning the crime, but didn't go to the Swarr home.
Grand juries
Grand juries, with power to subpoena witnesses, often are essential in solving cold cases.
Stedman, who convened a grand jury from 2011 to 2013 — the third here since 1995 — wouldn't discuss specific cases heard by that panel, saying they were "serious cases."
He recently said there aren't enough unsolved murders here — unheard by previous grand juries — to convene another, just yet.
"I want to make sure we have enough new cases to justify the request to reconvene," he said.
Police say they'll continue to work all angles on the Myers and Chevalier murders.
Sadly, Pohle said, he hasn't heard from Myers' family since taking over the case. And no obituary for Chevalier was ever submitted by family or friends.
"We want to see justice," Pohle said.
Even three decades later.
Police encourage anyone with information to call 898-3103, ext. 240 (regarding the Myers case) or 735-3301 (regarding the Chevalier case). Tipsters also may call Lancaster City/County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-322-1913 or anonymously text LANCS plus your message to 847411 (TIP411).

Kobo lays bets on new features, readers set to debut this fall
Notwithstanding the fact that, in its most recent quarterly report, Indigo Books and Music noted a decline in sales of e-readers year-over-year, Toronto-based tech company (and former Indigo property) Kobo is ready to launch a slew of new products, including a dedicated bookstore aimed at kids.
Publishers Weekly points to a Manhattan event in which Kobo CEO Michael Serbinis announced the Sept. 16 release of a new suite of e-readers ranging in price from U.S. $150 to $400. Serbinis also announced the debut of Kobo Kids, a subsection of the Kobo bookstore that would market directly to children.
From PW:
Kobo is launching Kobo Kids, a new e-bookstore within the [Kobo] store, that will offer more than 100,000 kids e-books, in addition to offering kids' accounts (tied to their parents and restricted to kids titles in the Kobo store), safe search, fun reading statistics and awards for kids and an allowances feature that allows parents to set a pre-paid budget for their kids to purchase e-books.
While apparently convinced the children are the future, Kobo also seems to be hedging its bets on aspects of online reading that are, at best, extra-literary.
Serbinis also announced a partnership with a tech company called Pocket, whose software would allow Kobo users the ability to archive articles read online and make them accessible on a Kobo device. Other new features would reformat magazine articles for tablet reading, "reducing 'the pinching and zooming' readers have to do to read or see layouts." And there is Beyond the Book:
a new social reading feature that adds a layer of information (it's like having Wikipedia inside your book) that offers in-book links to info about characters, plots, the authors and more, available to readers without having to go to the Web. Kobo is also working with a variety of well-known authors (among them Margaret Atwood) and a variety of celebrities to offer Collections, a feature that provides recommendations to books and other content.

Energy efficient broadcast in multiradio multichannel wireless networks

Division of Computer and Communication Engineering
The broadcast is a fundamental operation in computer and communication networks. We study broadcast in multiradio multichannel multi-hop wireless networks. Suppose through configuration, each node is already assigned with a transmission power level and a set of radio channels for receiving and forwarding data. Our problem is to select a forward scheme for broadcasting from a given source node and to minimize total energy consumption. This is a known NP-hard minimization problem. In this paper, we construct a polynomial-time (1.35 + ε)(1+ln(n-1))-approximation algorithm where n is the number of nodes in given network and ε is any positive constant. We also show that there is no polynomial-time (ρ ln n)-approximation for 0 < ρ < 1 unless NP ⊆ DTIME(n O(log log n)).

The NAA is one of six schools operated by the ESCNJ for students ages 3-21 with autism, multiple disabilities, and at-risk behaviors.
During a current events class at NuView Academy Annex (NAA) in Piscataway, students learned about the continuing impact on Haiti caused by last year's Hurricane Matthew.
A Category 4 hurricane, Matthew's 140-mile-per-hour winds killed approximately 1,000 people, destroyed countless numbers of homes, schools and businesses, and has disrupted access to safe drinking water. The aid organization Doctors Without Borders estimates 48,000 children under five will suffer from severe acute malnutrition in 2017.

The information motivated NAA students to embark on a fundraising effort to provide assistance to Haiti, according to a district news release. The NAA, along with the NuView Academy, is part of a collaborative effort for students functioning near or at grade level with severe at-risk behavioral disorders between the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey (ESCNJ), and Princeton House Behavioral Health,
According to NAA Principal Chastity Rivera, the students were particularly motivated upon learning their funds could be used to sponsor the BATI School, located in the mountains above the coastal town of St. Michel, Haiti. Providing free education, the BATI School's existence makes it possible for students to attend school with having to hike two hours a day.
So it was truly a special moment when students and staff gathered to present BATI School founder Rubens Amadee with a check for $500 raised from school store sales.
"Mr. Amadee thanked the students for the donation and said it would be used to help rebuild the BATI School," Rivera said.
The NAA is one of six schools operated by the ESCNJ for students ages 3-21 with autism, multiple disabilities, and at-risk behaviors. The ESCNJ also provides shared services statewide to special needs students, manages the state's largest Co-op Pricing System with over 1,100 members, oversees a Professional Development Academy, and coordinates statewide transportation services for nearly 14,000 students.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
From the award-winning founder of JUMP Math, All Things Being Equal is a proven guide to succeeding in math, and a passionate argument for why this success can and must be available to the majority instead of the privileged few.
For two decades, John Mighton has developed strategies for fostering intellectual potential in all children through learning math. Math, Mighton says, provides us with mental tools of incredible power. When we learn math we learn to see patterns, to think logically and systematically, to draw analogies, to perceive risk, to understand cause and effect--among many other critical skills. Yet we tolerate and in fact expect a vast performance gap in math among students, and live in a world where many adults aren't equipped with these crucial tools. This learning gap is unnecessary, dangerous and tragic, he cautions, and it has led us to a problem of intellectual poverty which is apparent everywhere--in fake news, political turmoil, floundering economies, even in erroneous medical diagnoses.
In All Things Being Equal, Mighton argues that math study is an ideal starting point to break down social inequality and empower individuals to build a smarter, kinder, more equitable world. Bringing together the latest cognitive research and incremental learning strategies, Mighton goes deep into the classroom and beyond to offer a hopeful--and urgent--vision for a numerate society.
Nothing comes easily to me.
I'm a mathematician, but I didn't show much aptitude for math until I was thirty. I had no idea, in high school, why I had to turn a fraction upside down when I wanted to divide by it, or why, when I wrote a square root sign over a negative number, the number suddenly became "imaginary" (especially when I could see the number was still there). At university I almost failed my first calculus course. Fortunately I was saved by the bell curve, which brought my original mark up to a C minus.
I'm also a playwright. My plays have been performed in many countries, but I still won't read a review unless someone tells me it's safe to do so. Early in my career I made the mistake of checking the papers to see what two of the local critics thought of my first major production. It seems unlikely that they consulted each other before writing their reviews, but one headline read "Hopelessly Muddled" and the other "Muddled Mess."
I often wish I was more like my literary and scientific heroes, who seemingly could produce perfect poems or solve intractable problems in a blinding flash of inspiration. Now that I'm a professional mathematician and writer, I console myself with the thought that my ongoing struggles to educate myself and the strenuous efforts that I needed to make to get to this point have produced an intense curiosity about how we achieve our potential.
A Slow Learner
From an early age I became obsessed with my intellectual capabilities and with the way I learn. When I started to teach in my twenties, first as a graduate student in philosophy and later as a math tutor, I also became fascinated with the way other people learn. Now, after teaching math and other subjects to thousands of students of all ages and after reading a great deal of educational and psychological research, I am convinced that our society vastly underestimates the intellectual potential of children and adults.
During my undergraduate studies, I showed as little promise in writing as I did in mathematics: I received a B plus in my creative writing class—the lowest mark in the class. One evening, in the first year of my graduate studies in philosophy, I began reading a book of letters by the poet Sylvia Plath, which I'd found on my sister's bookshelf while babysitting her children. It appeared from Plath's letters and early poems that she had taught herself to write by sheer determination. She had learned, as a teenager, everything she could about poetic metre and form. She wrote sonnets and sestinas, memorized the thesaurus and read mythology. She also produced dozens of imitations of poems she loved.
I knew that Plath was considered to be one of the most original poets of her time, so I was surprised to learn that she had taught herself to write by a process that seemed so mechanical and uninspired. I'd grown up thinking that if a person was born to be a writer or mathematician, then fully formed and profoundly important sentences or equations would simply pour out of them. I'd spent many hours sitting in front of blank pages waiting for something interesting to appear, but nothing ever did. After reading Plath's letters, I began to hope that there might be a path I could follow to develop a voice of my own.
I imitated the work of Plath and other poets for several years before I moved on to writing plays. By that time, I'd taken a job at a tutoring agency to supplement my income from writing. The women who owned the agency hired me to tutor math because I'd taken a course in calculus at university (and I neglected to tell them about my marks). In my tutorials I had the opportunity to work through the same topics and problems again and again with my students, who ranged in age from six to sixteen. The concepts that had mystified me as a teenager (such as why does a negative times a negative equal a positive) gradually became clear, and my confidence grew as I found I could learn new material more quickly.
One of my first students was a shy eleven-year-old boy named Andrew, who struggled in math. In grade six, Andrew was placed in a remedial class. His new teacher warned his mother that she shouldn't expect much from her son because he was too intellectually challenged to learn math in a regular math class. In the first two years of our tutorials, Andrew's confidence grew steadily, and by grade eight, he had transferred to the academic stream in math. I tutored him until he was in grade twelve, but I lost touch with him until recently when he invited me to lunch. In the middle of our lunch, Andrew told me that he had just been granted full tenure as a professor of mathematics.
When I was growing up I would always compare myself to the students who did well on math competitions and who seemed to learn new concepts without effort. Watching these students race ahead of me at school made me think that I lacked the natural gift I needed to be good at the subject. But now, at the age of thirty, I was surprised to see how quickly I could learn the concepts I was teaching, and how easy it was for students like Andrew, who had never shown any signs of having a "gift" for math, to excel at the subject with patient teaching. I began to suspect that a root cause of many individuals' troubles in math, and in other subjects as well, is the belief in natural talents and natural academic hierarchies.
As early as kindergarten, children start to compare themselves to their peers and to identify some as talented or "smart" in various subjects. Children who decide that they are not talented will often stop paying attention or making an effort to do well (as I did in school). This problem is likely to compound itself more quickly in math than in other subjects, because when you miss a step in math it is usually impossible to understand what comes next. The cycle is vicious: the more a person fails, the more their negative view of their abilities is reinforced, and the less efficiently they learn. I will argue that the belief in natural hierarchies is far more instrumental in causing people's different levels of success in math and other subjects than are inborn or natural abilities.
In my early thirties, I returned to university to study mathematics (starting at an undergraduate level) and was eventually granted one of Canada's highest post-doctoral fellowships for my research in the subject. In the meantime, I'd also received several national literary awards for my plays, including a Governor General's Award. I don't believe I will ever produce work that compares to that of my artistic and intellectual heroes, but my experience suggests that the methods I used to train myself as a writer and mathematician—which included deliberate practice, imitation, and various strategies for mastering complex concepts and enhancing the imagination—could help people improve their abilities in the arts and sciences.
When I was taking my degree in math, I often wondered how my life would have gone if I'd selected a different book from my sister's bookshelf the night I discovered Plath's letters. I felt lucky to have regained the passion I'd had as a child for creating and discovering new things and lucky to have been encouraged to follow my passion by my parents and family. Watching my students become more engaged and successful in math, I began to feel that I should do something to help people who'd lost faith in their abilities, so they could regain their confidence and keep their sense of wonder and curiosity alive.
In the final year of my doctoral program, I persuaded some of my friends to start a free, after-school tutoring program called JUMP (Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigies) Math in my apartment. Twenty years later, 200,000 students and educators in North America use JUMP as their main math instruction resource, and the program is spreading into Europe and South America. Its methodologies have been developed in consultation with and guided by the work of distinguished cognitive scientists, psychologists and educational researchers, many of whom you will meet in this book. These methods are easy to understand and apply, and they reinforce confidence in your abilities rather than assigning you to a particular skill level. They can be used by adults who want to help children learn any subject more efficiently or who want to educate themselves and pursue a new path in life, the way I did.
Before I describe these methods and the research that supports them, I will look more closely at some myths about intelligence and talent that prevent us from fully developing our intellectual abilities and that create an extraordinary range of problems for our society. Because people have so much trouble imagining that they could be good at subjects they struggled to learn in school, they also have trouble imagining what the average brain can accomplish or understanding the magnitude of the losses our society incurs when we fail to educate people according to their potential. This failure of the imagination creates a self-fulfilling cycle of frustration and lost opportunities for many people; to escape from this cycle we need to re-examine our most basic beliefs about what it means for people to be "equal" or to have equal opportunities in life.
Invisible Problems
Every society is plagued by invisible problems that are particularly hard to solve—for no reason other than because they are invisible. Sometimes a society has to collapse before the problems that stopped it from progressing can be seen. And sometimes this process can take centuries.
The ancient Greeks were remarkable innovators. They established the first democracies and produced a staggering number of mathematical and scientific breakthroughs. But this great, progressive society was hobbled by an insidious problem they could not see. Even the most enlightened thinkers of 400 BC were convinced that women were inferior to men and that slavery was as good for slaves as it was for their owners. Aristotle wrote, rather chillingly, that some people are born to be masters, while others are only fit to be "living tools." The Greeks couldn't begin to solve the most serious problems of their time because they couldn't conceive of a more equitable society.
Over the past three hundred years, the idea that every person is born with the same inalienable rights and privileges, regardless of their race, gender or social status, has slowly taken hold across the world. In theory, in most nations, we have all been granted these same rights.
In practice, however, these rights are not always upheld in the same way for every person. And in many parts of the world, the impact of these rights on people's quality of life is still rather limited. Even in Western democracies, people who are born with the same inalienable right to vote don't necessarily enjoy the same social or economic opportunities.
Half of the world's wealth is owned by 1 percent of the population, and tens of millions of people still don't have enough to eat or proper access to health care or sanitation, even in the developed world. We are confronted by an array of threats—including economic instability, climate change, sectarian violence and political corruption—that have a greater impact on the poorest and most disadvantaged people of the world. In such a world, it's hard to imagine a society in which people are born "equal" in any material sense or in which they can exercise their basic legal and political rights in the same way.
The laws and constitutions created to give everyone a fair chance in life have only partially succeeded in levelling the playing field. That's because the most serious disparities in our society are not simply the result of legal or political inequalities but are also caused by a more subtle and pervasive form of inequality that is difficult to see. This kind of inequality might seem to be a by-product of social and political forces or of the deficiencies of capitalism, but I believe it is primarily caused by our ignorance about human potential. In the developed world, this inequality can affect the children of the rich as much as it does the children of the poor (although wealth does help mitigate its consequences). In many ways, it is the root cause of other inequalities. I call this kind of inequality "intellectual inequality." And I will argue that it can easily be eradicated, particularly in the sciences and mathematics.
In this book I will sometimes use examples from JUMP Math to illustrate various principles of learning and teaching. But this is not a book about JUMP. My claims about human potential and the methods of teaching and learning that can unlock that potential are backed by a large body of research in cognitive science and psychology that is independent of JUMP. One day this research will be more widely known, and we will all be compelled to set much higher expectations in mathematics and other subjects for ourselves and our children, whether or not we use any particular math learning program. When we have understood and absorbed the full meaning of this research, our present beliefs about our intellectual abilities will seem as antiquated and as harmful as the belief that some people are born to be slaves and others masters. And the problems we have struggled to overcome since antiquity—which originate in our failure to foster intellectual equality—may finally be addressed.

NEW YORK -- The Madagascar exhibit at the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo is now home to three new lemur babies.
Two ring tailed lemurs and one brown collared lemur were born in late March and are making their public debut. Both species live in a naturalistic habitat depicting the Malagasy Spiny Forest along with critically endangered radiated tortoises and several bird species including vasa parrots, red fodies, grey-headed lovebirds, and ground doves.
Guests hoping to catch a glimpse of the new additions will have to observe closely as young lemurs cling to their mothers and nestle in their fur.
The Bronx Zoo has had tremendous success breeding lemurs as part of Species Survival Plans, cooperative breeding programs designed to enhance the genetic viability of animal populations in zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
The Wildlife Conservation Society works to save lemurs and their disappearing habitat in the African island nation of Madagascar - the only place in the world where lemurs are found in the wild. Brown collared lemurs are native to the tropical forests of southeastern Madagascar. Ring tailed lemurs are native to the forests and bush in the south and southwestern portions of the island. Their habitats are being destroyed by human activity including charcoal production and slash-and-burn agriculture.
Ring-tailed lemurs are very social and live in large matriarchal groups that often contain several breeding females. They are capable climbers, but spend much of their time on the ground. Newborns will ride on their mothers' chest and back for the first few weeks and will begin move around on their own within two-to-four weeks, but still stay close to their mother.
Collared lemurs use their long tails to balance when leaping through the forest canopy. They live in groups of males and females but are not matriarchal like many other lemur species. The young ride on their mother's back hiding in her fur for the first few months of their lives.
All lemur species are in trouble due to devastating loss of suitable habitat. The International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies both ring-tailed lemurs and brown collared lemurs as endangered in the wild.
There are six species of lemurs on exhibit in the Madagascar! exhibit: ring-tailed lemurs, brown collared lemurs, red ruffed lemurs, gray mouse lemurs, crowned lemurs, and Coquerel's sifaka. Black and white ruffed lemurs are on exhibit at the Central Park Zoo.
Opened in 2008, Madagascar! educates zoo visitors about the country's incredible biodiversity and how the Wildlife Conservation Society and partners are working to save its wildlife and wild places.

The Danish software company ConPDS has developed a software for digital scanning of container codes. The ConPDS OCR-engine integrates with a company's software solutions, smartphone apps, and logistic systems by integrating just a few lines of code. ConPDS OCR engine is a plug-and-play software library that is designed to save hundreds of development hours. "There seems to be a huge market for Automated Container Code Recognition. The accuracy rate from generic OCR-engines is not high enough, and therefore many companies still use handwritten or semi-automatic solutions.
A new ferry line between isolated North Korea and its neighbour Russia docked for the first time at the Russian Pacific port of Vladivostok on Thursday. The ferry's Russian operators say it is purely a commercial venture, but it coincides with what some academics say is a drive by North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, to build ties with Moscow in case its closest ally China turns its back. Journalists were unable to see passengers disembarking from the ship, the North Korean-flagged Mangyongbong, because Russian officials kept them away from the quayside, citing unspecified security reasons.
The Northwest Seaport Alliance said it is set to launch two new mobile applications in early November aiming to help speed the flow of containers through port facilities and along local freight corridors, reduce idling-related air emissions and save fuel at the Port of Seattle and Port of Tacoma. DrayQ aims to give truck drivers real-time information about wait times in and around marine cargo terminals, and DrayLink will interconnect the drayage community to better dispatch, track and record container moves from pickup to delivery.
A smartphone application that allows users to scan the Mediterranean for boats in distress is being tested by a migrant rescue service, which hopes that crowdsourced information will help it save more people. The I SEA App, available on iTunes, divides a satellite image of the sea route migrants are taking into millions of small plots which are, in turn, assigned to registered users. Each user then monitors their plot through the app and can send an alert to the Malta-based Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) and the authorities if they spot potential trouble.
The U.S Coast Guard's Office of Investigations and Casualty Analysis has issued a safety alert seeking to raise awareness regarding federal safety requirements for vessels carrying any paying passengers onboard a vessel on navigable U.S. waters. Picture the following scenario: The sea bass are running and your friend has a friend who can take you and another person fishing for a reasonable fee. He owns a boat that is ideal for fishing. You have a great day on the water, catch plenty of fish, and begin to return at dusk.
Sailors' Society has licensed a version of its Chapplaincy smartphone technology to ICMA, enabling all 28 members to share the digital platform transforming port to port welfare. The 'Ship Visitor' app will enable maritime chaplaincy organizations across the world to deliver improved services to seafarers and to better measure the impact of their work. Revd. Richard Kilgour, general secretary of ICMA, said, "ICMA is mindful of the immense importance of this development, which strengthens our international collaborative relationships as seafarer societies.
The U.S. Navy has ordered 56 AN/USC-61(C) Digital Modular Radios (DMRs) and related equipment from General Dynamics. The newly built DMR radios will be capable of using the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) waveform, the digital dial tone needed to make voice calls to the U.S. Department of Defense's next generation, narrowband MUOS satellite communications system. The four-channel radios form the foundation of the Navy's network communications aboard submarines, surface ships and on-shore locations.

Se conoce por método de reducción de pistas (o en inglés ping-pong recording o reduction mixing) a una forma de grabación multipista que fue muy popular durante la década de 1960.

Se trata de hacer una combinación de múltiples pistas en una sola o dos (si se quiere el resultado en sonido estereofónico), con el objetivo de generar espacio para un doblaje final, si se está usando magnetófonos de cinta con un conjunto limitado de pistas. También se utiliza para simplificar la mezcla.

Los dos métodos más comunes consisten en:
 Copiado de pistas entre dos grabadoras de cinta (o pistas de un grabador multipista) conectado a través de una mesa de mezclas.
 Doblaje pistas internamente, a través de la mesa de mezclas a bordo de muchas máquinas, incluyendo Portastudios y multipistas similares.

En ambos casos, un nuevo instrumento, la voz, u otro material pueden ser añadidos con cada rebote, dependiendo de las capacidades de mezcla de la configuración.
En la grabación analógica, la calidad de audio normalmente disminuye con cada pasada, mientras que en la grabación digital la calidad generalmente se conserva.

En ambos casos, un nuevo instrumento, la voz, o cualquier otra fuente de sonido pueden agregarse con por cada pasada, dependiendo de las capacidades de mezcla de la configuración.

Primeros ejemplos

Aunque el sonido del Wall of Sound de Phil Spector era auditivamente complejo, muchas de las grabaciones más conocidas bajo su famosa técnica se registraron en magnetófonos de cinta abierta Ampex de tres pistas. Las pistas instrumentales de Spector eran grabadas en vivo, y por lo general en una sola toma. Estas pistas instrumentales se mezclaban en vivo, en mono, y se pegaban directamente sobre una pista de la grabadora de tres pistas, raramente se agregaban doblajes u otras grabaciones.

En comparación, Brian Wilson produjo pistas de mayor complejidad técnica cuando grabó su álbum Pet Sounds (1966) haciendo uso del método de reducción de pistas empleando grabadoras de 4 y 8 pistas con tecnología de última generación. La mayoría de las piezas de acompañamiento fueron grabadas en una grabadora de 4 pistas antes de ser más tarde mezcladas en mono en una pista de una máquina de 8 pistas. Brian típicamente divide a los instrumentos por tres vías: batería -percusión- teclado, cuernos, y bajo -percusión adicional- guitarras. La cuarta pista por lo general contiene una mezcla de referencia en bruto utilizada durante la reproducción en la sesión, después de ser borrada con doblajes tales como una sección de cuerdas. Después de la mezcla de 4 pistas a mono para pasar la pista a una máquina de 8 canales, seis de las siete pistas restantes generalmente se usaban para cada una de los voces de los Beach Boys. La última pista se solía reservar para agregar nuevos elementos, como las voces extra o instrumentos adicionales.

De forma similar a como trabajaba Wilson, Manal grabó algunas canciones con la misma técnica, como la canción "Informe de un día" en 1970.

Lessons in Love from the Addams Family
By Daniel Dougherty, Maroon-News Staff
My girlfriend and I have a tradition of watching both of the 1990's Addams Family movies every October. While we love every Addams, from the sociopathic Wednesday to the gnarly-faced Fester, Gomez and Morticia Addams have a special place in our hearts. It is in part Morticia's gothic visage and Gomez's charismatic mania; the morbid absurdity of the whole thing is delicious. But above all else, there's something about Gomez and Morticia that's in some way profoundly romantic. Like I said, they have a special place in my and my girlfriend's hearts—but I think that they should have a special place in your heart too.
The interplay of Raul Julia's Gomez and Anjelica Houson's Morticia is unique in cinematic romance. Infinitely lustful for one another and mutually disinterested in the dull affairs of the 'real world', Gomez and Morticia regularly and publically opine for each other. "How long has it been since we've waltzed?" Gomez asks Morticia for no particular reason. Morticia sighs wistfully, "Oh Gomez…hours." Morticia and Gomez's unawareness of how uncomfortable they make ordinary people with their raucous flirtation is most comedic. They apparently have sex in the middle of a public auction, and during a climactic fight, Gomez pauses the entire scenario to wax poetic to Morticia.
This is the structure of most Addams Family jokes: an Addams does something that totally jars the people surrounding them but the Addams is none the wiser. But there is a unique sincerity to Gomez and Morticia's relationship. The Addams family's contrast—the white, healthy upper middle class—is treated as banal and shallow in comparison to the gruesome main characters. The Addams are better at being a family than most of our own families. It's Morticia and Gomez that the Addams clan relies on for haven in an unwelcoming world, and it's their crazy intense love for one another that gives them the strength to lead.
Thus, when Gomez and Morticia's fantastical tango causes every champagne bottle in the room to burst, or when they celebrate at the prospect of bringing a three-legged baby into the world, we're not laughing at them but, rather, with them. Gomez and Morticia's twisted and delightful love affair isn't just ironically funny, it's the heart of the Addams' story. Behind the intense physicality and maddening poeticisms, Morticia and Gomez don't have marital issues because they, unlike the rest of the world, accept themselves and each other in all their ghoulish delight.
We're all in the process of trying to become 'better people' (whatever that means). But our partners shouldn't resemble the scorn of an outside world we so often wish to escape. We are all perverse, disgusting, morbid, and foul. Perhaps there are times when it's best to indulge in that. Why not have a loved one to do it with? A partner who doesn't just accept your faults but loves them because they're a part of who you are. They might even share those flaws: a loved one who's as spooky as you. Then both of you can unleash yourselves on the world and each other—like Gomez and Morticia—in all of your ghoulish delight.

Q: Sending Mailgun Inline Images in HTML using Python Requests library I am having trouble working out how I can send multiple inline messages using the Mailgun api, from a Python app using the requests library. Currently I have (using jinja2 for templates and flask as the webframework, hosted on Heroku):
def EmailFunction(UserEmail):
    Sender = 'testing@test.co.uk'
    Subject = 'Hello World'
    Text = ''
    name = re.sub('@.*','',UserEmail)
    html = render_template('GenericEmail.html', name=name)
    images = []
    imageloc = os.path.join(dirname, 'static')
    images.append(open(os.path.join(imageloc,'img1.jpg')))
    images.append(open(os.path.join(imageloc,'img2.jpg')))
    send_mail(UserEmail,Sender,Subject,Text,html,images)
    return html

def send_mail(to_address, from_address, subject, plaintext, html, images):
    r = requests.\
        post("https://api.mailgun.net/v2/%s/messages" % app.config['MAILGUN_DOMAIN'],
            auth=("api", app.config['MAILGUN_KEY']),
             data={
                 "from": from_address,
                 "to": to_address,
                 "subject": subject,
                 "text": plaintext,
                 "html": html,
                 "inline": images
             }
         )
    return r

So the email sends fine, but no images are in the email at the end. When I click to download them they don't show. The images are referenced in the HTML as per the mailgun api (simplified of course!);

etc ...

Clearly I am doing something wrong, however I tried attaching these using the requests.files object, which didn't even send the email and gave no error so I assume that is not the right way at all.
Sadly the documentation on this is rather sparse.
Would it be better to have the HTML directly point the server side images? However this is not ideal as server side images in general will not be static (some will, some won't).

A: As of 2020, actual documentation here: https://documentation.mailgun.com/en/latest/api-sending.html#examples
My example:
response = requests.post(
    'https://api.mailgun.net/v3/' + YOUR_MAILGUN_DOMAIN_NAME + '/messages',
    auth=('api', YOUR_MAILGUN_API_KEY),
    files=[
        ('inline[0]', ('test1.png', open('path/filename1.png', mode='rb').read())),
        ('inline[1]', ('test2.png', open('path/filename2.png', mode='rb').read()))
    ],
    data={
        'from': 'YOUR_NAME <' + 'mailgun@' + YOUR_MAILGUN_DOMAIN_NAME + '>',
        'to': [adresat],
        'bcc': [bcc_adresat],
        'subject': 'email subject',
        'text': 'email simple text',
        'html': '''

Priority Oriented Policing (POP)
The Priority Oriented Policing (POP) Unit's primary mission is to work closely with community based partners, Patrol Officers and Detectives on matters facing residents and youth in San Pablo. The unit works closely with all San Pablo schools, other City departments, residents and businesses to address quality of life and special crime issues promptly. This specialized unit is comprised of a Sergeant, J.E.W. L. Officers, Gang Officers and Code Enforcement. This program started in 1992, when a 19 year-old gang member was killed on the streets of San Pablo. Out of anguish from the inability to respond to cries for help from the deceased victim's mother, the Police In Schools to Offer Life (P.I.S.T.O.L.) Program was initiated. By August 1997 the position of J.E.W.L. Officer became a full time position in San Pablo.
The primary responsibility was working within the schools as a means of intervention and prevention on issues relating to firearms, drugs and gangs. In 2009, the San Pablo City Council expanded the P.I.S.T.O.L. Program from one officer to a team of people in order to better fight against juvenile delinquency and violence by working closely with youth. The unit was renamed as the Youth & Education Services (Y.E.S.) Unit. In 2010, the unit introduced the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) Program to San Pablo. G.R.E.A.T. is a series of 13 lessons designed to teach life skills and is taught in over 1400 communities worldwide.
The program is a school-based law enforcement officer-instructed classroom program that encourages student participation. In order to graduate the program students complete a community project. For more information on the G.R.E.A.T. Program visit www.great-online.org.
In 2014, the unit became the Priority Oriented Policing (POP) Unit once again and expanded its services.

Military Times names college as vet-friendly

Michael Garvey, Co-Editor
Military Times this fall named AACC as one of the best two-year colleges for veterans for the second year in a row.
The weekly newspaper ranked AACC 23rd among 34 community colleges that made the list, down from 22nd in 2017.
Schools across the country fill out a rigorous survey, which editors use to evaluate programs and services that veterans say are important to them.
"At Anne Arundel we have probably the best support services compared to the other institutions," said Harlan Harrell, who serves as the military/veterans student success and retention adviser.
One of the services that editors look for is a veterans' center on campus.
"I think [AACC's vet center] is one of the better resources I've seen being a veteran and in the National Guard," said Benjamin Beares, a second-year homeland security student.
For faculty and staff, the school offers a "meet the military learner" course that focuses on the transitional challenges veterans face when they leave the armed services.
"If you roll a guy out after a four-year enlistment with two or three deployments, and then drop him back into college all on their own it's hard for them to sit down and say, 'OK, I have to schedule out today through the next 15 weeks,' and make it work," said Mike Kulikowski, a veteran and a second-year homeland security major.
Still, Beares said he would like to see more dedicated space on the campus where veterans can hang out, and receive help with their educational benefits.
"Sometimes we'll be in here and all the seats will be packed, and stuff like that," he said. "Sometimes I'm worried that might push people away if they feel like there's not enough room for them, and as veterans we never want to push our friends away."

"The plan is forming, but as they say, stay tuned. "
Aaron Walsh
Photo Credit: K.Radcliffe Fight Photography
With a 14 month hiatus from competing in mixed martial arts, there has been a lot of question marks surrounding the UFC lightweight champion, Conor McGregor and if he will ever return to the octagon. After picking up a multi-million dollar cheque for his boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather many people have questioned whether or not McGregor will compete again but his head coach and close friend John Kavanagh stated in a recent interview with BBC Northern Ireland that he will be pushing for MMA rather than another fight in boxing.
"I think 2018 will be another big year for us," Kavanagh said. "Exactly what that is, I don't know yet. The plan is forming, but as they say, stay tuned. In my opinion, I'll be pushing very hard for MMA. The boxing was a nice detour from what we've done, but mixed martial arts is my passion. If I have anything to do with it, he'll be in the octagon this year."
He also touched on the subject of the UFC lightweight division with the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov and interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson not recognising Conor as the lightweight champion. "Conor is still the champion. They can say what they want – I have his belt at home, actually," Kavanagh said. "He's still the champion. He's making the decision on what makes sense for the next move. It's kind of early days yet. We're just watching how that has developed while he's been away; he's had other going things on. Let's see what happens in 2018. I'm excited about it, anyway."
The Notorious has hit the headlines several times in the 14 months since he won the UFC lightweight championship again Eddie Alvarez in November 2016 but Kavanagh says Conor is now getting back into regular training. "I'm happy to see him back just regular training," Kavanagh stated. "He had a lot going on in his life, a lot of stuff outside of fighting was going on in his life. He seems to be getting the hang of all that. He's back training almost every day now."

Every year, during National Volunteer Week (sponsored by the Points of Light Foundation, www.pointsoflight.org) This year, CitySERVE recognized 19 outstanding volunteers at an awards ceremony with the Santa Cruz City Council on Tuesday, April 12, 2016. Many volunteers and their family and friends showed up for the event and participated in a reception with City Council members prior to the presentation of awards. During the ceremony, each volunteer received a certificate, and had their nomination read by a councilmember. It was a wonderful event where our outstanding city volunteers were recognized for their hard work and dedication to the City of Santa Cruz.
The first step is to call CitySERVE get an application. If you are interested in a technical or career development volunteer position, it would be helpful if you include a resume. If you are a student or recent graduate who is interested in an internship with the City of Santa Cruz, a resume and statement of interest is required.
What types of volunteer positions are there at the City of Santa Cruz?
We have a huge variety of volunteer positions at the City of Santa Cruz. From ushering at the Santa Cruz Civic to volunteer computer instructors for the Downtown Seniors program, we have volunteer positions for a variety of interests. Check out the Open Volunteer Positions to see where we especially need help right now. We also offer a variety of student internships and can plan group volunteer projects.
What if I am unsure about what volunteer position is right for me?
E-mail or Call the Volunteer Coordinator at 420-5403. We will do our best to find you a rewarding place to volunteer.
How many hours will I be expected to volunteer?
Time commitment and schedule depends upon the volunteer position you are interested in. Generally interns volunteer between 8 and 10 hours per week. Volunteers in other positions vary greatly; some volunteer only a few hours per month while others volunteer as many as 20 hours per week.
Will my volunteer position lead to a job with the City of Santa Cruz?
No, not without going through an application process. As a public agency, when hiring, we must abide by the Civil Service code. The City of Santa Cruz (unlike private business) cannot hire people just because they are working as a volunteer. However, experience in the field you would like to be hired in is a tremendous boost for your application and many former local government volunteers are now public employees. See the Human Resources Department page for current openings and how to get a job with the City of Santa Cruz.
An intern is a very specific type of volunteer. Interns are looking to gain hands on experience in their field of interest and have a specific career related goal in mind.
Do you have to be a student to intern?
No! CitySERVE works to create internships for students, recent graduates and people who are exploring career changes. The most important factor for internship placement is that you have a clearly defined goal and are able to commit for a defined amount of time.
What volunteer position at the City of Santa Cruz is the most fun?
All of our volunteer positions are fun in one way or another - that's why community members want to volunteer here! We would have to say that volunteering in the CitySERVE office is the most fun - but we are a little biased!
What Insurance is needed to volunteer?
The volunteer insurance page outlines the type of volunteer insurance provided to all CitySERVE volunteers. CitySERVE is a partnership between the City of Santa Cruz and The Volunteer Centers of Santa Cruz County; subsequently we are able to provide this special volunteer insurance coverage to all volunteers in lei of workers compensation. It is very important that all new volunteers read this page and are aware of these policies.


This section contains information for students on registering for IAP credit subjects, including instructions on adding and dropping subjects, online pre-registration, taking fall subjects that extend into January, entering lottery subjects, the Physical Education Activity lottery, IAP subject grading, and cross-registration.
For-credit Subjects are listed exclusively in the online IAP Guide.
In terms of academic credit, IAP is different from spring and fall terms. Generally, students are not required to participate, and there are a few restrictions on adding and dropping subjects during this period. The IAP registration process is designed to preserve the more flexible nature of the Period while providing instructors with class lists before subjects begin.
Advisors are encouraged to discuss January plans with their advisees. However, they will not be signing paper registration forms as they do in the fall and spring terms.
Subjects continuing from fall term such as 8.01L, 18.02A, and 18.023A impact the amount of units a student may take during January. Freshmen should pay special attention to the credit restrictions on these subjects, particularly if they wish to participate in Second Summer Program.
Because of the varied dates for subjects offered in IAP, there is no specific add or drop date. Once subjects have begun, students should check with instructors about adding and dropping.
Students will use WebSIS pre-registration (see below) to change subject selection up until January 13, 2011. After this date, students may submit add/drop forms.
Students may not drop subjects after submitting the final assignment or examination.
Students are responsible for making sure that their subject selection is accurate on WebSIS by January 13, 2011, so that instructors will receive accurate grade sheets. If the grade sheet provided to the instructor is not accurate, an instructor may add or drop students as appropriate.
Students use WebSIS to pre-register for credit subjects taken during IAP 2011, January 3-28.
Special topics, thesis, and UROP subjects: Students who are graduating in February and are continuing their theses through January must pre-register for thesis credit on WebSIS.
Due to the 12-unit IAP credit limit for students, departments extending subjects into IAP should note the distribution of units below (see IAP Units of Credit for Subjects that Extend Into/Beyond IAP). The Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) is unlikely to approve petitions to exceed this 12 unit limit.
All continuing students taking non-lotteried credit subjects pre-register on WebSIS between December 1, 2010 and January 13, 2011. See lotteried subjects for more information.
The pre-registration system will stay open so that students may update the information in WebSIS to reflect added and dropped subjects. This option is available until January 13, when Independent Activities Period pre-registration closes.
There is a strictly enforced 12-unit credit limit for all students during the Independent Activities Period. Credit earned for certain fall subjects impacts this 12-unit limit.
Students taking one of the above subjects cannot receive credit for more than six (6) additional units in IAP.
Students taking two of these subjects cannot receive credit for any additional units in IAP.
Participating in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) for credit also counts towards the credit limit. For more information on UROP for credit during IAP, go to the UROP web page.
Some credit subjects offered in the IAP are entered through lotteries. Students wishing to take lotteried subjects do not pre-register for them on WebSIS but instead follow the instructions posted by each subject's organizer.
Students must contact the organizers and enter the subject's lottery by the published deadlines. The organizers will notify students of the lottery outcome. Students who get space in a lotteried subject will automatically be registered by the department (this applies to lotteried subjects during IAP only).
Students who wish to drop lotteried subjects should immediately inform the instructors so that wait-listed students can take their places.
Students register for Physical Education classes for the IAP through the Physical Education website: http://mitpe.com. Undergraduate Students may register between Dec 1 at 8am and Dec 8 at 1pm and Graduate Students may register between Dec 6 at 8am and Dec 8 at 1pm. Click on the registration link to register.
Faculty send final grades to the registrar by February 2, 2011; grades become available on WebSIS later that month. Students should contact their instructors to make sure grades are submitted. Grades will appear on students' official transcript under the subject's official MIT Bulletin title.
Cambridge University students participating in the Cambridge/MIT Undergraduate Exchange may participate in IAP for-credit subjects and non-credit activities. Cambridge students wishing to enroll in a credit subject follow the registration procedures described for MIT students at the top of this page.
Credit guidelines for the Independent Activities Period are approved by the Office of the Dean for Undergraduate Education. If you need more information, call the Registrar's Office at x3-4784.
