So I obviously dropped the ball on getting page 22 out in a timely fashion. I feel like I owe everyone a bit of an explanation for practically disappearing from the internet for a while.
I had, and still have grand plans for 2017, but earlier this year my partner of 7 years and I split up. I don't really want to go into details publicly other than it was very amicable, but dealing with that and the aftermath of moving to my Mum's place has taken the majority of my attention.
I'm very proud of what I achieved last year, but something I did not achieve was a good life balance and that is something I am making a priority this year. So while I will try and get the next page up in 4 weeks time, I don't want to make any promises. I have friends and family I've neglected to spend time with and my own place to find and furnish. I have some amazing study opportunities, some of which we'll be very excited to share with you when we can. However I promise we'll keep everyone up to date on social media if there going to be any more delays.
Thank you so much for you patience and sticking with us.

On the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail from Cumbres Pass, we take in grand views of the magnificent Wolf Creek valley. All along our watchtower at 10400 feet we scan for aspens in the foothills, cattle in upland meadows, raptors rising on thermals, abandoned mine tailings of uncertain age, semis creeping toward the pass, and the narrow-gauge steam train chuffing toward Chama, packed with old train buffs, its steam whistle shrieking like a 100-year-old schoolboy in corduroy plus-fours. Sun and shadows slo-mo across the viewscape. On our way south along the trail, we stop at 37 degrees and enjoy the view west at the spot where the border should have crossed, if Ehud Darling had been a more careful astronomer back in 1868.
We then continue to the official border; Mile 189 + 4 chains, packed in a closet crowded with aspens, barbed wire, and a vandalized sign warning against vandalism. On the way out we passed four bow hunters in camouflage from Oklahoma. They were disappointed we'd seen no deer.


Since 1993, Starflyer 59 has quietly become one of the most consistent and strong artists on the Tooth & Nail roster. Even with side projects (including Bon Voyage and Neon Horse), frontman Jason Martin has always offered good music in the form of Starflyer 59 and their latest album, The Changing Of The Guard, is no exception. This time, Starflyer 59 exposes listeners to another indie/alternative release which includes mellow vocals and a wonderfully fluid album.
Although The Changing Of The Guard doesn't have quite the same individual diversity of Starflyer 59's previous album, Dial M, the project runs together incredibly well for a captivating thirty plus minutes. The only track that doesn't really flow with the record is "C Mar," which is a quirky, retro-esque pop rock tune. The other nine tracks start off with the solid "Fun Is Fun," which sets the tone for a seasoned indie rock album with a constant western vibe going on throughout. Although "Coconut Trees" stands out as the album's most unremarkable song, The Changing Of The Guard has a few strong highlights to go along with an otherwise solid lineup. While the beautifully melancholy "Truckers Son" and the piano-driven "If I had A Song For The Ages" are impressive tracks, "Lose My Mind" has a truly epic feel as it concludes the album brilliantly.
Martin has stated that the album is about change, and often dwells on how the singer feels about it. In "Time Machine," the singer wishes he could return to his younger years ("I can't do a thing to stop time from moving/so I'm looking for a time machine… that takes me there again") and, despite Martin's dead-pan vocals, both "Time Machine" and "Truckers Son" are emotionally impacting songs. The singer's lack of confidence in himself on "Lose My Mind" could be a reference to Jeremiah 17:9 ("I have a bad taste in my mouth/could it be 'cause I trust in myself/I have a bad feeling in my bones/could it be 'cause I went in it alone"). Although the songwriting is intricate and compelling, the one potential downside is that the album doesn't have the clearer spiritual lyrics that Dial M featured.
After seventeen years in the business, Starflyer 59 certainly hasn't lost the ability to create a solid, distinct project. While the album may be short and the lyrics avoid obvious mentions of God, The Changing Of The Guard is still another worthwhile album from Starflyer 59.


DENISON, Texas -- For almost 100 years, the Rialto Theater on Main Street has been home to musicals, movies, and plays.
But it's also been home to something... or someone... else.
"We're usually on the move, and we don't stop and listen," said Hannah Horsley, the theater's general manager. "But when you do, most people hear something... most people feel something. It's interesting."
After multiple unexplained experiences inside the theater, Horsley decided to bring in some experts.
Vicki Robertson and Rhonda Williams with Ghost Hunters of Sherman Texas said they found more evidence of paranormal activity here than they've seen anywhere else.
"We've been wanting to get into this place for a long, long time!" Robertson said. "This place is active, very active. Every time we come here, we find something."
The Rialto later brought in a clairvoyant with the ghost hunters to see if they could explain the response.
"We just asked a question: 'What's your name?' And he said, 'Jeff.' We asked his age, and he said he was 24," Robertson said.
After finding so much evidence the first time around, we used ghost-hunting technology to view what appeared to be paranormal activity while walking around the the Rialto.
But the strangest thing during our tour wasn't a ghost-sighting; it was an unexplained scratch on our photographer's arm, something no one could explain.
Robertson and Williams said they will continue to investigate the mystery at the theater.
As for the Rialto, they're investigating the ghost they call "Jeff."
"Every time something happens, we think we'll have an explanation and it always surprises me," Horsley said. "So who knows where we'll go?"


Scott Safety, now part of 3M, advances the proven, trusted performance of the Air-Pak X3 with the introduction of the Air-Pak X3 Pro, its most leading-edge SCBA to date. With a commitment to firefighter safety and a focus on the long-term effects of carcinogen exposure, Scott Safety engineered a product that enhances cleanability, comfort and connectivity, while providing compatibility with the upcoming NFPA 2018 standards.
The Air-Pak X3 Pro combines high-performance material selection with an easy-to-remove harness for cleaning, decontamination and serviceability. With minimal water absorption, the new harness assembly can be machine laundered to minimize contamination and reduce long-term carcinogen exposure. Because the gear can be laundered at the station, firefighters have fast and easy access to their equipment when they respond to the next call.
Scott Safety designed the Air-Pak X3 Pro to keep firefighters safe while providing a higher level of comfort. A new shoulder harness design improves the ease of donning the SCBA and minimizes pressure points to reduce user fatigue. A naturally articulating waist pad provides the user a greater range of motion, while transferring weight to the hips for a more balanced load. Superior breathability offers minimal breathing resistance to reduce user burden and improve operational efficiencies.
Offering enhanced electronics with Bluetooth® technology, the Air-Pak X3 Pro supports wireless connectivity for improved firefighter safety and fireground accountability. An electronic PAR feature allows incident command to reliably communicate with firefighters without creating additional radio traffic. Data downloading and configuration changes are made easier using a wireless connection to smartphones.
This commitment to cancer prevention also is reflected in the company's planned cancer awareness and prevention initiative for 2018. Scott Safety has pledged to make $100,000 in charitable gifts to nonprofit organizations that share Scott's mission for cancer prevention and work to protect the long-term health of firefighters. The program will launch January 1.

The Garden Cottage is a wonderful free-standing one-room suite with no noises from the room next door because there is no room next door. Settle into this historic neighborhood and you'll be just 3 blocks from downtown Bozeman's collection of restaurants, galleries and brew pubs.
This converted Model-A barn is located in the backyard with private yard, alley entrance, and alley parking spot. It has been fully remodeled to include vaulted ceilings with skylights, a full kitchen, gas fireplace and clawfoot bathtub.
The kitchen, living area, and bedroom are in one space and high ceilings with skylight and a big, happy plant overseeing the spacious room. There is a small, traditional bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower, and a closet for storage.
A cast iron gas fireplace easily heats the well-insulated studio. There is a small tv with digital antennae and a dvd player, and of course full-fledged internet service.
The entrance has a new large deck with sitting table and a bbq grill facing the wild gardens maintained by the owners. From the entrance gate in the alley, the foot path meanders under a huge shade tree, past the flower gardens, and to a world record size rhubarb plant welcoming you to the door!
One of the best things about the Garden Cottage is how close it is to downtown and the desirable, historic pars of Bozeman. It's easy to leave the car parked and get to much of what Bozeman has to offer, and we also deliver rental bikes to your door as an additional option at roughly half the price of other bike rental options.
Garden Cottage is a licensed tourist home facility through the MT Dept of Health and Human Services, license # H-301554 County 16 Gallatin. Bozeman Cottage is owned and operated by Paul House, a licensed property manager in the state of Montana, license # RRE-RPM-LIC-45468.

Lovely stay in Bozeman at the Garden Cottage!
The only struggle I had was to find it initially as my Lyft driver dropped me off on the street in utter darkness and my cell phone had no service. When I found the alley and entry, it was lit up with solar path lights and LEDs around the doorway to clearly indicate the charming place I would be residing for the week!
Would definitely stay here again upon my next Bozeman visit!
We're glad you found the lighted path and enjoyed the Garden Cottage! This is an ongoing challenge which is why everywhere we put the address we also specify the necessity to use the alley access since there is no access from the street side. We love that you avoided renting a car which is becoming easier and easier with Lyft and Uber – most Bozeman Cottage rentals are within 5 blocks of the core of downtown Bozeman as well as many other destinations, part of what makes it worth it to stay in the core areas of town! And there's always the in-house bicycle rentals when you need to go a little further.
Excellent spot in Bozeman, quiet neighborhood, comfortable spot.
We had a great time in Bozeman and your Garden Cottage was the perfect place to stay. I hope to make it up there again.
I simply loved this charming cottage! The first step inside gave me the feeling of warm hospitality. A very comfortable bed awaited me. The bedding was soft and cozy with ample pillows, blankets and comforter. A small rocker gracefully placed by the fireplace, was soothing. The kitchen boasted cookware, dishes and utensils far beyond my expectations! Windows in every direction never allowed this cottage to feel small. A great plus was having two doors to access, a yard, porch and parking space at the gate. The Skylights that streamed in the daily weather report, and a train heard occasionally moving through Bozeman made me feel I was living in my own Montana home! Location is superb for anyone who wants to be able to walk a few blocks to Bozeman's Historic Downtown District. This rental is a gem in terms of inner beauty and charm coupled with neighborhood ambience and location. Most of all, your hospitality and assistance during my stay was incredible. Lots of personal touches. Thank you so much!
Hi Paul, Well, we just had the greatest time in and around Bozeman fishing, hiking, hanging out. And the cottage was the perfect place for us, truly our home away from home. We did borrow a few raspberries for breakfast!…..the stay in the cottage was the highlight of our trip…quiet, quaint, very comfortable. Thanks very much for everything! We'll definitely recommend the cottage to anyone headed in your direction.
There are 3 words that we feel describe this cottage perfectly. Quaint, cozy and convenient. We felt like we were tucked away far from town yet we were just a short walk to downtown Bozeman. For us this was a great place to stay to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. A very cozy and romantic cottage.
Just want to say thanks for everything. The cottage was great, and Paul the owner and David next door were exceptionally nice.


Victoria reclaims the 2015 Brown Trophy after defeating WA 6-0 in the final.
Victoria played host at the O'Brien Group Arena and didn't waste anytime in their pursuit for gold as they defeated South Australia 10-1 in the opening game, with National Team forward Brendan McDowell chipping in a hat trick early.
Defending 2014 Champions Western Australia matched Victoria's pace led by Jordan Kyros (1 goal, 2 assists) with a 6-0 victory over ACT.
But the big scores didn't last long as QLD battled NSW for a hard fought 4-2 win. They would later fall short by the same score to WA in their next match up.
It would be the midway point of the tournament that Victoria and Western Australia would finally meet. But unfortunately for Western Australia Scott Corbett caught fire notching a natural hat-trick including the game winner in a tight 4-2 game.
Corbett would eventually finish the tournament as highest point scorer, chipping in at least a point a game including the closest game of the tournament against a determined QLD outfit, backstopped by the Tournament's best goalkeeper Nick Novysedlak.
QLD would eventually fall short of making the finals thanks to WA in the semi. They did however manage to secure Bronze defeating SA 3-1.
Melbourne Mustangs Matt Stringer got things started in the final with the first goal of the game, and then went onto steal the show with a hat-trick of his own.
Victoria can now put the Brown Trophy back in their cabinet where it has been missing since 2012. How long it remains there, will be up to the other states in 2016.

End mandatory boxing at military academies
Oct 19th, 2015 · by Dr. Samuel B. Hoff · Comments:
Whether entering as an officer or through enlistment, the military is not for wimps. But the recent spate of concussions, stupid stunts, and efforts to hide data regarding boxing injuries at West Point, Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy merit reconsideration of that sport as a required activity among first-year cadets.
According to a New York Times examination of health reports at the aforementioned academies, boxing concussions comprise one-fifth of all concussions among Army plebes [first-year cadets] while accounting for one-fourth of total concussions among Navy midshipmen and Air Force cadets. When a cadet/midshipman is injured, he or she misses not only academic classes, but is limited in other activities for some time. If an injury prevents a cadet from completing the boxing class, the class must be repeated. Yet, neither ROTC cadets nor enlisted troops have to complete a semester-long course on boxing.
One weak argument made in defense of mandatory boxing classes is that such activities uphold traditions dating back to the days when Theodore Roosevelt was president. A lot of things have changed since boxing was instituted in 1905, yet, we are supposed to revere an activity which can permanently disable a cadet before they are commissioned and see real combat. Another "tradition" is the pillow fight among cadets at West Point at the end of the initiation period. This year, that spectacle resulted in 24 concussions after some cadets loaded pillows with hard objects. Sooner or later, someone is going to get killed upholding tradition.
Given that the military academies already have a similar-type class on martial arts, it seems like an easy fix to mesh some boxing training into such a course. After all, person-to-person combat entails using all available means to disable an attacker, not just one's hands. Apparently, the Air Force tried to do away with boxing as a mandatory sport as recently as 1995 but caved to the old-school fanatics.
The question of why only freshman have to take the requisite boxing class is a good one. When The New York Times and other outlets started probing the inordinate number of injuries caused by boxing and filing Freedom of Information Act requests, West Point answered by its inaction, delaying what should be regarded as public information and seeking to counter negative fallout by planting positive stories about boxing's redeeming qualities. For that alone, and certainly, combined with the pillow fight fiasco, the commandant deserved removal.
It is no coincidence that 18 of the last 20 intercollegiate boxing champions have come from one of the military academies. There is nothing wrong with retaining boxing as a voluntary sport there or elsewhere. But keeping that sport as a required activity is just dumb, especially when other long-time mandatory activities like horsemanship and swordsmanship have been terminated.
To repeat: joining the military is not for the squeamish. Nor should it be for forcing plebes to engage in a brutal sport under the guise of proving one's bravery.
Editor's note: Dr. Samuel B. Hoff is George Washington Distinguished Professor of History and Political Science and Law Studies director at Delaware State University. He is a past recipient of a military-history fellowship from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Dr. Hoff served as ROTC director at DSU from 1993 through 1999.


The Beatles Finally Heading to Online Music Stores, But Which Ones?
The Beatles are coming to an online music store near you "soon." So says EMI's head suit David Munns. Why should you care? Well, besides the fact that, you know, the Beatles pretty much invented the modern concept of a rock band, we could see an interesting battle between Apple and Microsoft. Will iTunes or the Zune Marketplace claim such hits as "Yesterday" and "Twist and Shout"? Will you be jamming out to "Day Tripper" on your iPod or Zune?

Columbus, NM is celebrating the centennial of Pancho VILLA's Raid(9Mar1916), on 12Mar.
And, I just have to be there!
But, I needed to upgrade my web gear. My original gear, was frankly tired & frayed.
WPG, provided exactly what I needed! The M1903 Suspenders, M1909 Cartridge Belt and M1912 Bandoleer was PERFECT.
More important, Jerry LEE was FAST! Ordered on 10Feb., received it 17Feb! No lie!
This is a superb piece of workmanship. I had a hard time deciding if I needed the M1912 Bandolier or the M1910 Bandolier. I then noticed that the M1912 is Pea Green Olive Drab while the M1910 is Khaki Olive Drab. The former was used in Mexico and France, the latter was used in the Phillipines. Thanks Jerry, for giving me the right choice. I have an M1903 Mills Cartridge Belt, that should give me adequate ammunition for the Moros attack. I sure am glad that we ditched those .30-40 Krags!
A very well made and high quality reproduction of a rare piece.

Cameraman Chris Coates had been recording whales off the east coast of Africa when, unexpectedly, a humpback and her calf approached the documentarian and the mother took a swing at Coates with her pectoral fin.
Whether it was intentional or not, we don't know. But you can hear Coates blow bubbles while he presumably messed his pants in anticipation of the attack.
The 38-year-old cameraman described the incident to JukinVideo. "The whale hit me on the head and hand," he said. "I could feel its barnacles scraping over my forehead.
The slap with the fin was quite hard, but I don't think it was trying to hurt me or it would have been way harder. It also must have hit the camera because it hit my hand that was holding the camera."
Watch the man vs. whale incident below.


Sam Hauser had 24 points in Marquette's victory over St. John's.
With only a couple hours before tipoff, sophomore star Markus Howard's status for Saturday's game against DePaul remains unknown.
However, it didn't look like Marquette missed a beat without its leading scorer in Wednesday's game against St. John's. Five different players scored in double figures to lead the Golden Eagles to a 85-73 victory. The win kept Marquette's fledgling tournament hopes alive; BracketMatrix, an online aggregator of March Madness projections, has Marquette as the fifth team out of the tournament.
In order to remain in contention, the Golden Eagles (16-11, 7-8 BIG EAST) must defeat the DePaul Blue Demons (10-17, 3-12 BIG EAST) in the newly-built Wintrust Arena Saturday. Marquette beat DePaul 70-52 when the two teams squared off in January.
Tipoff is at 11 a.m. and is televised on FOX Sports Wisconsin and other FOX Sports regional sports networks.
Many people think of Andrew Rowsey as a scorer. The redshirt senior is second on the team in scoring with 19.5 points per game.
One might expect Rowsey to intensify his scoring efforts with Howard out, but he's instead has focused on involving other players. In the past three games, Rowsey has 22 assists compared to just three turnovers, much to his coaches' approval.
Plenty of Rowsey's assists come by virtue of him making the simple play. When Marquette was up by one against St. John's with 10 seconds left in the first half, Rowsey ran the floor in transition, noticed that nobody guarded freshman guard Jamal Cain and dished to him for a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
Although Marquette's six eligible underclassmen have gotten a lot of playing time, the team as a whole is still green compared to the rest of the conference. Rowsey will need to be a distributor again for the Golden Eagles to make the tournament.
So many of Marquette's opponents have commented on how underrated sophomore forward Sam Hauser is that it's starting to feel like a weekly occurrence. With performances like his 24-point outburst against St. John's, it's easy to see why DePaul head coach Dave Leitao took the time to praise him when previewing Marquette.
"Deadeye" is an accurate way to describe Hauser, who has the fifth-best 3-point shooting percentage in the nation at 50.3 percent. Hauser hasn't shot below 50 percent from beyond the arc in a game since Marquette's loss to Providence three weeks ago.
And the diversity in Hauser's skillset catches other team's notice.
Nobody would ever call Marquette an excellent rebounding team: Its 27.6 percent offensive rebounding rate is sixth in the BIG EAST and its 26.1 percent rebounding rate allowed ranks fourth.
The Golden Eagles have kicked it up a notch on the boards, though, exceeding their opponents in offensive rebounding percentage in each of the last four games. That rebounding prowess was especially evident in the victory over the Creighton Blue Jays, a game in which Marquette snared 44.8 percent of its own shots.
Keeping DePaul off the offensive glass will be crucial in avoiding an upset. The Blue Demons are second in the BIG EAST in offensive rebounding percentage at 32.9 percent, with only Seton Hall ranking higher.


I had to go into the lab at 4:30 AM for a few days during my first year of graduate school to collect cells at a critical time for a new type of experiment I was running.
I hated getting out of bed the first morning but felt a sense of pride as I walked into the University building my lab was in. "I bet I'm the first one in my lab today" I thought to myself. Then I got a little more confident—I bet I'm the first one in the whole building!
The elevator opened and the blinding lights of the lab hit my eyes. A postdoc zoomed by me with an ice bucket in his hands. Okay, maybe I'm the second one here. Not bad. I threw my bag on my desk, put on a pair of gloves, and went into the cell culture room. Another postdoc was sitting in the hood I was going to use. What? Do these people sleep? (No, they don't sleep.) I saw three more postdocs from other labs that morning, all before 6:00AM—one in the flow cytometry facility, one walking out of the dark room, and another in the hall on my way to the bathroom.
Over the next few years I saw first-hand how hard postdocs work. I also saw how little money they made and how poorly they were treated. Many of the postdocs I worked with were in their labs before I started graduate school and still in their same labs after I left graduate school five years later. On the one hand, I was impressed and inspired by their tenacity and dedication. On the other hand, I felt sorry for them. I had a horrible feeling they were working for something that would never come.
The holidays have started and postdoctoral researchers around the world are doing what they always do—working. While tenured professors are vacationing and graduate flying home to see their families, postdocs are staying put. They'll be in the lab working 18+ hours today, tomorrow, the next day and the next day until (what seems like) the end of time.
After more than 20 years of schooling (with an average of 6 to 7 years of graduate schooling), postdocs continue to work insanely long hours, executing exquisitely complicated experiments, all while getting paid very little for it. In the U.S., postdocs make only $42,000 a year to start. If they work diligently in a big lab for 7 years, they can hit a maximum salary of $55,272 (or ~$26/hour). That's the same average salary as a librarian or high school teacher. Again, the maximum salary a postdoc will ever receive is the same as the average librarian or average high school teacher's salary. But at least these highly trained doctors will be paid what they're worth when they become professors, right?
Highly Trained And Nowhere To Go?
There are hundreds of thousands of postdocs in the world. In the U.S. alone, there are 68,000 postdocs. In Boston—a single city—there are over 8,000 postdocs. And these numbers are climbing. The problem is that more than six times as many PhDs are being granted as professorships are being opened. For example, from 2005-2009, there were 100,000 PhDs granted and only 16,000 professorships opened. This means that 84,000 PhDs had to either get a postdoc, transition into a non-academic career, or remain unemployed.
The bigger problem is that these PhDs are not trained in advancing their careers. They're simply taught that every PhD should do a postdoc and every postdoc should work in a lab for peanuts until they get a professorship. Many have no idea that well-paying, non-academic careers exist, let alone how to pursue one. But the Phd jobs are there. In fact, there are currently over 22,000 industry research jobs and 24,000 non-research science jobs. There are also 7,000 government research jobs.
In college, you're nice the people on your hall who have cars so they can take you places. In graduate school, you're nice to the postdocs in your lab because they can help you get your degree.
If you want to get something done in lab, forget asking your academic advisor. Advisors who don't have tenure are moody and busy writing grants all day. Advisors who do have tenure are either in a meeting, on holiday, or too far removed for lab work to know the latest techniques (or they're moody and busy writing grants all day). Every graduate student and technician knows that postdocs are the keepers of the lab.
Postdocs know the most current technologies and methodologies, they know the literature, they know where everything is in the lab, and they know how to get reagents from other labs. Altogether, postdocs know how to get things and how to things done. These are the same skills that make postdocs great industry employees.
1. They work harder than anyone else.
The average industry worker is lazy. Most employees nowadays don't know how to work hard. More specifically, they don't know what hard work is. This is because they have no reference point for real hard work. I've worked in several elite industries and played a variety of extreme sports but have never met a group of professionals who work harder than postdocs.
When it comes to brute force work ethic, postdocs win. They work the longest hours for the littlest pay and recognition out of anyone I've ever met. The key is that postdocs are not doing brainless work. In other words, they're not building fences or laying brick. They're not regurgitating information or doing the same routine task over and over again. Instead, they're creating information. They're doing high-level research that requires them to understand very complicated concepts while also thinking creativity and constantly changing their approach to the world's most difficult scientific questions.
A strong work ethic is extremely valuable, especially when done without complaining. Most employees constantly complain about how bad things are at their company. Or, they run their mouths about how much work they're going to do without ever really doing anything. Postdocs aren't complainers or talkers. They're workers. They are highly skilled in finding problems and finding the right answers to the right problems, no matter how long it takes.
Work ethic is a skill that very few people have. Companies who hire postdocs and train them well benefit greatly from their work ethic. The problem is that many postdocs fail to communicate this valuable skill to employers. If you're a postdoc, it's important that you let industry employers know you have this skill by using the right language in your industry resume and CV, and by bringing the topic up correctly during your industry interview.
2. They're experts at managing time, people, and resources.
The average employee does not know how to manage their time. Studies show that most employees spend hours surfing the Internet at work. These employees don't know how to manage people or resources either. Surveys and studies show that most new hires lack interpersonal skills and waste significant company resources each year.
Postdocs don't waste anything. They are experts at squeezing data out of the smallest amounts of money and resources. This is because postdocs don't live day-to-day, they live second-to-second. At any given time, the average postdoc is running 5-10 different experiments while also writing 2-3 different papers and grant proposals, attending lab meetings and seminars, applying to jobs, and staying up-to-date on the literature in their field. Not only do postdocs manage their time exceptionally well, they also manage other people's time well.
Postdocs commonly have to deal with inept graduate students, angry academic advisors, and dozens of competing postdocs. As a result, postdocs learn which conflicts to engage in and which to avoid. They are experts at navigating their way through the intricate world of office (or lab) politics. Contrary to popular belief, postdocs have excellent interpersonal skills. They've learned how to negotiate for equipment time, for reagents, for projects, for grants, on and on. Postdocs are skilled strategists when it comes to making a way when there is no way.
Still, postdocs need to do a better job of communicating their communication skills. Just because you have good interpersonal skills, doesn't mean that other people know it. A survey of 717 postdoc supervisors in North America, Europe, and Asia showed that communication skills were the most important skills in term of postdoc career success (see below). If you're a postdoc, make sure you're communicating your communication skills.
Postdocs are not only great managers, they're great leaders. Many postdocs carry entire projects on their own. Some carry multiple projects that are worth millions of dollars (or euros) in grant funding. Yet, many postdocs don't see these skills as valuable and don't leverage them for non-academic positions. If you're a postdoc, start communicating your management and leadership skills to potential employers. These transferable skills are highly valuable and will get you the job you want. If you don't know how to communicate these skills, connect with people who do.
3. They're driven by passion and innovation, not money.
The average, non-academic employee is driven by money. Just money. Studies show that using money to motivate employees actually makes employees work less, not more. The problem is that money is a horrible motivator. It's an external reward and numerous studies show that extrinsic motivation is very weak compared to intrinsic motivation.
Desires like the desire to be creative or the desire to do significant work is much more powerful than the desire to earn more money. Postdocs are intrinsically motivated to innovate and leave a legacy. They value doing cutting-edge work that matters. They don't just value getting a paycheck. Good luck finding that in your typical employee.
Sure, postdocs are human and want to make more money. But money is not their strongest motivator. More than anything else, postdocs are driven to make a difference. This is why they work insane hours for almost no money. This is why postdocs live for years in harsh conditions working under extreme uncertainty, facing failure after failure after failure.
Postdocs are also driven by an intense need to learn and to teach. They don't fear failure, they use it. Postdocs thrive on discovery and sharing, which makes them highly valuable to any company. Most employees just want to finish whatever task their boss gives them and move on. Postdocs, on the other hand, want to pick apart and solve the task so it can be done quicker and better next time. Postdocs have faced so much adversity in their academic careers that anything they experience in industry afterwards is easy in comparison. They're so used to working without money and with old equipment that they can hardly believe how simple and fun it is to work for a company that has new equipment and money to spend.
The biggest reason postdocs make great employees is because they never give up. They're committed internally to their work and this acts as force multiplier for the companies that hire them. However, sometimes postdocs should give up. Most of the postdocs that I knew well were working for a professorship, or just working until something better came along. But there were never any new professorships. And nothing better ever came along. So they just kept working. A postdocs drive to succeed can be their downfall if they refuse to change course once they hit a dead end.
If you're a postdoc who has hit a dead end in academia, it's time to change course. Don't just keep doing the same thing over and over again like a fly banging itself against a glass window trying to get out. Instead, do something different. Ask yourself, "Do I feel stuck? Do I keep doing the same thing over and over?" If the answer is yes, then do something about it. Don't just keep doing what you're doing.
You will never be successful unless you change. You will never do work that matters or be recognized for your work unless you start investing in yourself. Build your professional network. Get the industry training you need. Make a change now because you're highly valuable to industry employers and there are industry jobs waiting for you.

Q: How do I do KNN test only on certain rows in a dataframe? I want to do KNN testing only on a few NA cells in my data frame. I want to fill these with data that is close to it, I have to get this to work for my testing data frame so I would like to not just set it. I want to fill the values in MasVnrArea
 StyleAndYrDF= trainDF.loc[:,['YearBuilt','Exterior1st','Exterior2nd']]
 Temp=trainDF.loc[230:234, ['MasVnrArea']]

  def fillIt(df,x):
         ID= findNearestHOF(df, x)
         return trainDF.loc[ID,'MasVnrArea']

 EstimatedMasVnr=Temp.apply(lambda x: fillIt(StyleAndYrDF,x) if (pd.isna(x.loc['MasVnrArea'])) else x.loc['MasVnrArea'])

I keep getting this error: KeyError: ('MasVnrArea', 'occurred at index MasVnrArea')

A: You are applying across the wrong axis. This will fix your problem:
EstimatedMasVnr = Temp.apply(lambda x: fillIt(StyleAndYrDF,x) if (pd.isna(x.loc['MasVnrArea'])) else x.loc['MasVnrArea']
                          , axis=1)

Alternatively, I think this notation is cleaner:
EstimatedMasVnr = Temp.apply(lambda row: fillIt(StyleAndYrDF,row)
                                         if (pd.isna(row['MasVnrArea']))
                                         else row['MasVnrArea']
                          , axis=1)

Ranbir Kapoor is one Bollywood actor that's barely seen. His red carpet appearances are scarce and his dinner dates are non-existent. Very unlike his B-town buddies. So when he does venture out, our paps get shutter-happy.
On Sunday, the Kapoor scion did what he loves doing – playing football. The moment he took to the ground, he seemed to care less what's going on outside those nets. Everybody needs their downtime and football is definitely Ranbir's leisure activity of choice.
While the actor is reclusive for the most part, fans have seen much of him in the last few week. The highlight being his appearance at a recent film awards, one that had him walking hand-in-hand with girlfriend Alia Bhatt.
That awards function seems to have opened a floodgate of PDA for the two. In a recent interview, Alia said that Ranbir's troubled past means nothing to her. Ranbir's next film is Brahmastra, in which he co-stars with Alia Bhatt and Amitabh Bachchan. Brahmastra is a trilogy and the first part is expected to hit the screens next year in August.

Build an ark for Sneeches!!
Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2016 5:46 pm Post subject: Build an ark for Sneeches!!
I heard from Gulliver who heard from Snuffles who heard from DJ who heard from Duddles who heard from Petri who heard from mini-nibs who read an email that Huggins and Muggins found an ark full of bears of all kinds! There are exotic bears and smokey bears and Muffy VanderBears and Very Important Bears and so many more!
Sneeches and I are going to visit the ark in July and will report back here to tell all about it. Sneeches has been working on building an ark of his own for many years and maybe seeing this ark will give him some ideas for his own ark.
I am excited to see you soon! I heard you might be a day late because you are giving a talk about Mindful Snarfing, but don't worry I will wait for you and will save you a grape!
Also mini-nibs helped me make this digital hug for you for whenever you need it!
We've had a successful 2016 bear reunion here in Estes Park.
This year the St Louis bears sent one bear to represent them all: PEACHES!
Peaches has been doing his team proud though. He has been giving Lee hugs while Sneeches hangs out with Mom, and even taught Lee how to make guacamole.
We are 0/2 on movies due to everyone narcosleeping through the first one and a gruffly voice making the second one impossible to understand.
Lee is only 1/3 on hikes since she wussed out on climbing a peak and couldn't rally for the final day's trek.
But many good meals have been split and many Schlop hugs have been given and a cool game of Trivial Pursuit happened!
We also survived getting pulled over for illegally transporting people in the back- hoo hoo.
Hope more St Louis bears come next year!
Will anyone ever read this now that mininibs' notifier is down? If a post goes to a forum and no one sees it... did it really happen?

I had such a fun time at Estes Park!
Lee spotted an elk right outside the window... scary!
Wow what a week! While I was there I ran into Stu who I guess decided to join me on the plane back to St Louis. That is pretty neat although I didn't have as much leg room in the pillowcase on the way back.
Now Sneeches is going to a cabin where he is going to do a lot of coloring and meditating I believe. I miss you Sneeches!
I heard that you are going to be hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and that there will be snow there. I hope everything goes well and that you stay safe.
I'll be thinking of you Sneeches... and missing you!
Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2016 12:28 pm Post subject: Sneeches made it!
I heard you got back from hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail and that you saw a bear!
I hope you didn't get any blisters!
I heard a dam collapsed and a tidal wave of water is bearing down on California!
Sneeches is your ark ready and leak-proof?
Can all the other bears fit?
I heard that Schlop fought off a herd of feral cats in a soggy swamp in order to rescue a mysterious box that contained a giant pillow that can serve as a raft for Schlop, and Nibs, and you!
That is great news that you can use this pillow as an emergency raft until your ark is completed.
Yay for the pillow raft!

Good News For BPL Families In Telangana Municipalities
Telangana Politics February 15, 2019, 12:33 pm
Hyderabad: In a bid to encourage more people to get drinking water tap connections in urban areas, the state government of Telangana drastically slashed the deposit amount to just "Rs One "for the below poverty line families and to "Rs 100" for others as against present Rs 6,000 as quoted in a release.
In all municipalities and municipal corporations, the BPL families would now be required to pay just one rupee as deposit for a tap connection and others Rs 100, an official release said.Till now, an amount of Rs 6,000 was being collected towards deposit from all for obtaining a tap connection.
If the connection is to be taken inside the house, the deposit would be Rs 10,500, the release said.People were not coming forward to take tap connections in view of the huge amount to be deposited, the release quoted Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao as saying.
The government had decided to supply safe drinking water to every village and towns through Mission Bhagiratha and had made it a right of people to obtain tap water, he said.
"However, people are not coming forward to take connections in urban areas by depositing heavy amounts. There is a need to reduce this and make it a nominal amount, Rao said. (PTI)

Self-Government Cannot Live while Congress is Moribund
Philip A. Wallach
Editor's Note: This essay appeared in Cultivating Virtuous Citizenship?: A Law and Liberty Symposium on the Ryan Foundation's American National Character Project.
President Donald Trump's inaugural address did not contain the word "liberty" and made only passing reference to "glorious freedoms." But the president did pay rather conventional homage to the ideal of self-government. "What truly matters is not which party controls our Government, but whether our Government is controlled by the people. January 20, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this Nation again."
Of course, Trump also famously claimed that his hard-won knowledge of how to play the corrupt system made him uniquely (not to say divinely) qualified to act as a tribune of the people. "I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves. Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it." Self-government of the people would be realized through the courageous action of the beloved leader. That may or may not sound like a recipe for tyranny, but it is certainly not the vision of self-government that used to hold sway in American political life. It does not exactly sound like "the people" acting as "rulers of this Nation"—unless "the people" is treated as a singular noun whose "rule" flows through Trump-as-avatar.
Say what you will about this plebiscitary messianism, at least it's an ethos, one that explicitly speaks to the American yearning for self-rule. A growing portion of our intelligentsia, both progressive and libertarian, instead wishes to toss the idea of self-government to the side of the road so that we might enter into a more enlightened technocratic future. In their vision, specialized experts are entrusted—ultimately, and not just conditionally—with policymaking power. After all, who is rationally more capable of exercising power responsibly and efficiently? Yes, there will be mistakes, but this regime will do better than any others. Certainly, better than one that defers to the vagaries of public opinion, which an ocean of evidence shows to be deeply confused and insensitive to facts and reason.
Sometime after the conclusion of the War of 1812, Commodore Stephen Decatur famously toasted, "Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but right or wrong, our country!" Superficial critiques notwithstanding, this still-resonant sentiment is anything but jingoistic. As Albert Hirschman pointed out, "may she" clearly implies the possibility that she will not, and the emphatic sense of possession implies that we will seek to ensure that she is. We do not say: "May the rulers of the country in which we dwell act well, and may we ever be dissociated from their failings." Proponents of technocracy often come surprisingly close to embracing this responsibility-abjuring formula, though. In their view, citizens are passengers; they should count themselves lucky if they live under a system that will get them the most competent pilot, and free themselves of the psychic burdens imposed by altogether fanciful notions of self-rule.
Neither of these two extremes offers a path to real self-rule; perhaps more importantly, in our current mistrustful environment, neither offers a remotely viable form of justification for our government. Neither Donald Trump and his cohort, nor Cass Sunstein and his, has anything approaching sufficient political resources to win the trust of a majority of the public. It is out of necessity that we seek a government that really feels like "ours" — because there is no mutually agreeable outsider who can stand in for us.
Our Constitution provides us with an answer to this dilemma right in Article I: in providing two chambers of representatives not beholden to any other power center, the framers gave us an organ of government that is structurally indispensable for coping with the diversity of an extended republic. Our contemporary Congress is falling down in this role, leading many people to write it off as irrelevant or fantasize about its replacement. We can't afford such indifference or escapism. Instead, getting the dumb generalists in Congress to engage in real politics remains the best way to keep our republic self-governing in some meaningful sense.
Why? Because all of us are dumb generalists most of the time, and we find it intolerable to give over the awesome powers of the modern state to people who regard themselves as above evaluation by dumb generalists. If we are dumb on many specific matters (and, God help us, we really are), we are nevertheless right to reject the pretensions of our would-be overlords, whether they pretend to an implausible mandate from "the people" or form themselves into impenetrable guilds of knowers. We can be supremely confident of this, because those who would hold themselves above us are merely human, with all of the limitations and blind spots that infirmity entails. Seeing no better arbiter available, experts beneficently offer to judge themselves—but this is every bit as hubristic as it sounds.
Congress necessarily justifies itself quite differently. Representatives do not say "only we can fix it," but rather "we can honestly, honorably, and representatively grapple with real problems in a way that is true to the bewildering variety of interests in our country." Citizens instructed to approach government bureaucrats as supplicants inevitably find the experience enervating. Citizens pushing the representatives whose jobs depend on their support to forge constructive compromises can, potentially, find the experience energizing.
Self-government in the 21st century isn't realistically going to mean the revival of some Jeffersonian ideal of participatory democracy. That said, it is pusillanimous and anti-republican, not to mention mean-spirited, to sneer at the importance of common citizens' judgments in holding the bearers of state power to account. The surest way to empower citizens' judgments is to reenergize Congress. That requires restoring functionality, direction, and a sense of self to a body that has clearly become adrift in recent years. It also requires that Congress never see itself as subordinate to the executive branch, even in those situations in which it finds it convenient to follow the president's or bureaucracy's lead. War powers come to mind, but so do mundane issues relating to the power of the purse, where Congress seems to choose executive-managed autopilot rather than meaningfully debating the fiscal claims of competing national priorities.
Those of us who retain some faith in self-government, however naïve it may sometimes seem, should mount a vigorous but qualified defense of our Constitutional inheritance—one that insists that our Madisonian separation of powers embeds the right ideals into our political life, but that admits our current politics are doing a poor job realizing them in practice. That is less rhetorically compelling than saying that the Constitution can directly empower "We the People" to take control of everything if only those dastardly politicians would get out of the way; and less sophisticated than saying that in a world of ever-proliferating knowledge, the only morally worthy thing to do is defer to experts. But it is an honest day's work, worthy of a free people who aspires to govern themselves.
Until Congress restores itself to its proper place as a body worth of a free people, it will never rein in executive and judicial abuse.
Qualifications of Judges and Law Professors: A Telling Mismatch
Allen Mendenhall
Philip A. Wallach is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He is the author of To the Edge: Legality, Legitimacy, and the Responses to the 2008 Financial Crisis (2015).
on April 03, 2018 at 13:53:50 pm
Certainly, it must have occurred to Wallach that the US, which is by far the least representative regime amongst all western democracies, is a lost cause. His argument that some shred of self-government is still possible now, after the central government has spent the last 100 years destroying all of the basic institutions necessary for self-government, is a plea in the wilderness.
The US was always more of an economic union than a political union and, over the last 229 years, "The People" have have gladly subordinated the idea self-government to the idea of empire and wealth. The reckoning has arrived. It's now our time to pay the piper.
The US might survive as a coalition or federation of four or five new nations based on geographical regions but the idea of one "self-governing" nation of 300 million whose future depends on 100 senators, a supreme court and a president is clearly over. I discount the House of Representatives to zero because that is exactly how important the House has been for 100 years.
"It is out of necessity that we seek a government that really feels like "ours" — because there is no mutually agreeable outsider who can stand in for us."
There is the-objective-truth. Every human individual has the authority to address the-objective-truth, and those who do may discover the means of benefitting. For example, it is advantageous to know that the earth rotates so as to reveal the sun each morning and hide it each evening rather than the sun rises and sets. It is advantageous not to ever lie; thereby people do not respond to a lie.
"Citizens pushing the representatives whose jobs depend on their support to forge constructive compromises can, potentially, find the experience energizing."
Citizens wonderfully collaborate for justice, which cannot be compromised. Elected representatives may accept the responsibility to conform to discovered-objective-truth while collaborating to discover the unknowns so as to understand how to benefit.
". . . our Madisonian separation of powers embeds the right ideals into our political life, but . . . our current politics are doing a poor job realizing them in practice. That is less rhetorically compelling than saying that the Constitution can directly empower "We the People."
We the People of the United States ordained and established the USA. However, political regimes since April, 1789, have established and maintained the clergy-politician partnership that sustains Chapter XI Machiavellianism in the USA. The mysterious American god keeps the people bemused with freedom of religion rather than freedom of fidelity to the-objective-truth. By discovering the-objective-truth, unknown by unknown, the people may discover God.
Individuals may accept the preamble's civic agreement and collaborate for justice, knowing that dissidents may be motivated and inspired to reform. A super-majority of civic individuals may collaborate to develop statutory justice on the-objective-truth rather than dominant opinion.
The three branches of the federal government may then focus on codifying the-discovered-objective-truths and the theory that connects them as well as operating the USA under a civic people rather than the American mystery.
I think there is something new about this approach to self-government: the civic individual accepts the human authority to develop fidelity to the-objective-truth rather than competes for dominant opinion regarding a mystery, recognizing that there will always be dissidents, some of whom have a different approach to life.
Dissidents who cause no discovered harm live freely, but those who caused discovered-harm risk statutory justice. Because statutory justice is based on the-objective-truth rather than opinion, the corrected dissident may reform.
I think it is time for the civic agreement that is offered in the preamble to the constitution for the USA to be considered, adopted, and promoted so as to establish a civic culture; private liberty with civic morality; human justice.

You're hired: Panthers, Wild name assistant coaches
By Cam TuckerJun 24, 2017, 10:47 AM EDT
The Florida Panthers and Minnesota Wild have added to their coaching staffs.
The Panthers announced on Saturday the hiring of Paul McFarland as an assistant coach on Bob Boughner's staff. McFarland is only 31 years old, which is relatively youthful in the coaching ranks, but he has spent the last three years as the head coach of the OHL's Kingston Frontenacs.
He is a year removed from helping guide Kingston to a 46-17-0-5 record.
"In three seasons as a head coach in Kingston, Paul's team has not missed the playoffs," said Boughner in a statement. "He is young, intelligent and can relate to our team's young core."
Less than a full month after Scott Stevens resigned as an assistant coach in Minnesota, the Wild have named Bob Woods to the position, making it official on Saturday.
Woods spent last season as an assistant coach with the Buffalo Sabres. It was recently reported that organization would not be bringing back their assistants for next season, providing Woods the opportunity to look elsewhere in the league for an opportunity.
There is quite a familiarity between Woods and Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau.
Per the Wild, Woods has worked as an assistant with Boudreau on three previous occasions, most recently with the Anaheim Ducks from 2012 to 2014.

Sean O'Malley claims to have turned down Ramzan Kadyrov invite to Chechnya: 'The guy is a murderer'
By Jed Meshew@JedKMeshew Dec 19, 2022, 7:00pm EST

Sean O'Malley is all about the money, but not at the cost of his morals.
In November, three former UFC champions — Kamaru Usman, Henry Cejudo, and Justin Gaethje — were heavily criticized for accepting an invitation from Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadryov to visit Chechnya and attend a birthday party for one of Karyrov's teenage sons. And according to O'Malley, he was given a similar offer, but chose not to pursue it.
"The reason we never really ended up going [to Chechnya] is because we were saying like, who is this for? And then we didn't really get an answer," O'Malley said in a recent video on his YouTube channel (h/t Bloody Elbow). "So, I'm like, 'F*** that!' Imran [Jawaid, one of O'Malley's business advisors], you know, I listen to Imran's advice and Imran was like, 'Hey, I don't have a good feeling about this. Let's not move forward with that.'"
O'Malley's caution is not without merit. In 2020, the U.S. Department of the Treasury levied sanctions on Kadyrov for "serious human rights abuses." The sanctions prohibit people doing business in the United States from interacting with many businesses owned by Kadyrov, including his MMA gym, but has not stopped several prominent MMA fighters from continuing to associate with him. O'Malley is proud not to be one of them.
"They went over to Chechnya," O'Malley said, referring to Usman, Cejudo, and Gaethje. "And the guy [Kadyrov] is a murderer, basically. The top dog. Like, best friends with [Vladimir] Putin. He's not a good person, and that's who they went there, to his kid's birthday party. And, that's where I got invited to go. And, yeah, I've heard that they're getting some backlash for going."
While neither Usman nor Cejudo have publicly commented on the incident, Gaethje has defended his actions online, saying that while he did attend a birthday party and shoot guns at the Russian Special Forces University, he never actually met Kadyrov.
Come on guy, you won't show me one picture or video of me with the guy you talking about. I was there.
— Justin Gaethje (@Justin_Gaethje) December 12, 2022
Are you saying all Russians look alike? Went for the kids birthday party. I also like to shoot guns.

Scientist, programmer, and author David Chapman talks with Michael W. Taft about metarationality, emptiness and form, nihilism, tantrism, dzogchen, Kegan's stages of development applied to meditation, vampire romance novels, and the importance of being able to switch reality tunnels.
David Chapman is a writer, computer scientist, engineer, and Buddhist practitioner. He's been practicing Vajrayana Buddhism in the Aro Ter tradition for 20 years. David is a leading proponent of metarationality—a subject we'll go into in some depth in this episode—and writes about it on his website Meaningness.com.
1:43 – What is metarationality?
2:45 – What happens when you run off the edge of the map?
20:22 – Is metarationality just a larger rationality?
23:38 – What does metarationality have to do with meditation and Buddhism?
30:31 – Dzogchen and Advaita – are practices of view simply indoctrination?
57:43 – Do we need gurus/lamas to transmit deep understanding?
1:10:19 – Is AI dangerous?
Not to get to Buddhisty on y'all, but I'm not sure the 2 quotes below line up. Or maybe it's that 'modern-traditional Theravada & the (supposed) actual words of the Buddha don't line up. Thoughts?
Thanks for pointing that out, nstar. I think the resolution to your question is the difference between "tends not to" and "absolutely never does." That is, it's not that you can't find some scriptural references like this, but metarationality tends not to be a strong emphasis in most Theravada sanghas. Rather the opposite is true, where the sanghas tend to socially enforce belief in Buddhism as an absolute truth. Notice that there are no black and white statements here, but rather shades of gray.
Good program. It's Kegan, not Keegan.
