The Department of English encourages students to develop their critical reading, writing, and creative skills through study of a variety of literatures in English, composition and rhetoric, and creative writing. The department recognizes the unique diversity of cultures in Hawai'i and employs a variety of approaches, including multicultural and Asia Pacific perspectives, to address this uniqueness. Students work directly with faculty in relatively small classes. The department participates actively in UH Manoa's Honors Program and its Study Abroad Semester and offers professional internships for interested students in the senior year.
The goals of the undergraduate English program are: (a) to offer a comprehensive range of courses in literary and cultural studies, composition, rhetoric, and creative writing; (b) to develop students' critical thinking and reading skills; and (c) to develop students' interests and abilities in rhetoric and writing across a variety of genres. Many of our courses recognize Hawai'i's geographical and cultural location in the Pacific.
The graduate program enriches students' knowledge of literature, composition and rhetoric, creative writing, and cultural studies. MA students are asked to take approximately half of their course work in a specific concentration so that they begin to develop an area of expertise while broadening their understanding of other areas of study. The MA thesis or final project at the end of the program gives them the opportunity to do extended research and writing on a topic of their own choosing.
The doctoral program prepares students to become professionals in the field. Required courses are not its focus; rather, it offers students considerable latitude in course selection and requires disciplined, independent work on examinations and the dissertation. Candidates completing the program should have the skills and experience to function as critics, scholars, and writers in an area associated with the profession of English.
The Department of English offers the BA degree with informal emphases in American, British, and Pacific literatures; composition and rhetoric; and creative writing.
Historical Breadth: of the nine courses in addition to Introduction to English Studies, one must be pre-1700, one 1700-1900, and one after 1900.
Only courses in which a student receives a C or better may be counted toward the major.
With the consent of the student's advisor or the director of the undergraduate program, one appropriate three-credit upper division course from outside English may be counted as a major elective.
Advising is mandatory for majors; new majors will be assigned an advisor when they meet with the director of the undergraduate programs for their required orientation session. Schedule a session on www.english.hawaii.edu.
English offers a fifteen-credit minor for students who wish to emphasize a specific aspect of English studies without completing the actual major. Beyond the two required courses, the minor may focus on literary studies, creative writing, cultural studies, or rhetoric and composition.
One FW and one ENG 270–273 course are prerequisites for upper-division English courses. All UH Manoa courses applied to the English minor will come from the Department of English or cross-listed courses. Appropriate upper division transfer credits may apply toward the minor.
No more than one upper division English large enrollment course may be counted toward the minor. Only courses in which a student receives a C or better may be counted toward the minor.
The department offers the MA in English with four concentrations: literary studies in English, composition and rhetoric, creative writing, and cultural studies in Asia/Pacific. It offers the PhD in these and other areas, for the doctoral program is sufficiently flexible to allow students to develop individualized courses of study. Students applying for the MA are expected to have a bachelor's degree in English or a closely related field. PhD applicants normally will have completed the MA in English. All applicants must submit an application, transcripts, three letters of recommendation, GRE General Test scores, a comprehensive statement of professional goals and objectives, and a critical writing sample. Also, applicants interested in the creative writing concentration must also submit a creative writing sample. Application deadlines are December 1 for the PhD program and January 1 for the MA program. Complete information on the application process is provided on the department's website.
Courses for the MA and PhD are to be selected from the list of English (ENG) courses, although advanced courses in other disciplines may be substituted with the prior approval of the graduate director.
Graduates of the MA program in English have taught in secondary schools, community colleges, and universities. Some have pursued doctoral work; others have combined their work in English with another professional field (e.g., business, law, library studies). Still others have found employment in writing, editing, or research-related fields.
9 credits of course work in creative writing and 12 credits outside of creative writing.
Students must also achieve intermediate level knowledge of one foreign language.
Plan B is applicable to students in the Literary Studies in English, Composition and Rhetoric, and Cultural Studies in Asia/Pacific concentrations. All Plan B students complete 33 credits–30 credits of course work and 3 credits of work on the MA final project. One course must have substantial Hawai'i/Asia/Pacific content. All students must also achieve intermediate level knowledge of one foreign language.
Requirements for students in Literary Studies in English: ENG 625B and ENG 625C, D, or E; 9 credits minimum in LSE. One course must be pre-1700.
Requirements for students in Composition and Rhetoric: ENG 625C and ENG 625B, D, or E; ENG 605, 705, and 709; 12 credits minimum in other concentrations. One course must be pre-1900.
Requirements for students in Cultural Studies in Asia/Pacific: ENG 625E and ENG 625B, C, or D; 9 credits minimum of course work in CSAP and 12 credits minimum in other concentrations. One course must be pre-1900. 3 credits may be taken outside of the English department with the permission of the concentration advisor.
Concentration-specific program requirement sheets are available on the English Department website.
Since the PhD program offers diverse courses and the opportunity to specialize in a range of different areas, graduates may pursue careers from among several professions, including teaching, research, and writing.
PhD candidates must fulfill the residency requirement and are required to take seven graduate-level courses in the Department of English; two courses, normally at the 400 level or above, in a field outside of English but related to the student's research interests; one course with substantial content in Asia/Pacific at the graduate or 400- level, in or out of the English department, while in residence at UH Manoa. They must pass three area examinations and a comprehensive examination and demonstrate competence in two languages other than English (one of which, if appropriate to the candidate's research, may be a computer language) or in one language at an advanced level of proficiency. Candidates will be required to complete an original scholarly or creative dissertation representing a substantial contribution to the discipline of English, suitable for publication, and a final oral examination on the dissertation.


Are stars hospitalized for 'exhaustion' really just sleepy?
Tracy Morgan and his girlfriend on the red carpet shortly before he was hospitalized for exhaustion. Demi Moore went to the ER with the same explanation a few days later.
Drug addiction, eating disorders, depression, three-day benders -- experts say these are just a few of the conditions Hollywood publicists sometimes try to cover up using the blanket term "exhaustion."
This week, Demi Moore's publicist said her client was seeking "professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health," amidst widespread reports that she was hospitalized for substance abuse and eating disorders.
"30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan's team issued a similar statement last weekend, saying their client was hospitalized for exhaustion caused by high altitudes at the Sundance Film Festival in park City, Utah.
While exhaustion is a very real condition, in Hollywood it can also mask all manner of sins, not simply being sleepy.
Among the celebrities whose publicists have claimed were exhausted are the late Amy Winehouse, Lindsay Lohan (too many times to count), Colin Farrell, Ashlee Simpson, Richie Sambora, Dave Chapelle, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston.
Which isn't to say that exhaustion isn't an actual thing. Emergency room doctors tell Fox411 they see patients come in with exhaustion and fatigue all the time.
While it may be a real problem, exhaustion is also a Hollywood scapegoat. Beverly Hills addiction specialist Marty Brenner frequently works with celebrities who have claimed exhaustion as a cover-up to their substance abuse issues.
"When their publicists say exhaustion, it means they are having a hangover. They went out to party last night. They drank too much and then the PR guy will say they are exhausted," Brenner told Fox411. "Those are just excuses. If they're just promoting a movie or a show there is no reason they would be exhausted."
Addiction experts wish the exhaustion blanket would just go away. It actually harms their efforts to de-stigmatize substance abuse treatment.

También de dolor se canta es una película mexicana de la época de oro del cine mexicano. Fue dirigida por René Cardona en 1950 y tiene como actores a Pedro Infante, Guillermina Green  e Irma Dorantes. También aparecen actores famosos de la época, con actuaciones especiales de Germán Valdés "Tin Tan" y Pedro Vargas entre otros. La película trata de la industria fílmica del cine clásico nacional y de las estrellas que lo hicieron posible.

Argumento
Braulio Peláez (Pedro Infante) es un humilde, honesto y despistado maestro de primaria del poblado de "Chipiculco", quien apenas gana lo suficiente para apoyar a su familia; su padre es "Facundo Peláez" (Óscar Pulido) el dentista del  pueblo, el cual carece de clientela debido al viejo instrumental que posee, así que tiene grandes deseos de modernizarse. Daniela (Famie Kaufman "Vitola") es la madre de Braulio y Luisa, se dedica al hogar y cree que su hija heredó su gusto por el arte, por lo que Luisa (Irma Dorantes) pasa gran parte del día ensayando escenas de cine, además de ser la reportera y crítica de cine del diario "Güitanjillo" que sale cada ocho días.

Braulio tiene un altercado en la puerta de su hogar, lo que hace que pierda sus lentes y mientras los busca en la calle, provoca un accidente automovilístico; cuando los recupera y se da cuenta del golpe del vehículo, por educación, invita al conductor (Rafael Alcayde) a comer en su casa mientras le arreglan el auto. Al entran a la casa, su mamá Daniela y Luisa se emocionan al ver que es su actor favorito, "Alfonso del Madrazo" (Rafael Alcayde) quien trabajó en la película ''"El Churro y la Dama"'', algo que ignoraba Braulio. Luisa enseña al actor qué tanto lo admira y al estar todos en el comedor, Daniela le pide al actor que ayude a su hija Luisa para que pueda entrar al cine, por lo que ella le enseña que sabe actuar. Alfonso ve que no es fea Luisa y le dice que si alguna vez va a la Ciudad de México lo busque y que él mismo la recomendará.

Don Facundo desea tener un gabinete dental para tener una mejor clientela, pero al ver que es muy caro le cruza por la mente la idea de suicidarse, así que su familia se lo impide. La Sra. Daniela y Luisa convencen a Braulio que tome sus ahorros y llevar a su hermana con "Alfonso del Madrazo", ya que él le prometió llevarla al estrellato y así con lo que gane le pueda comprar a su padre el gabinete dental y poder modernizarse.

Luisa se despide de su novio (Alfredo Varela Jr.) y le dice que busque una mujer que lo haga feliz, pero él aparte de desearle buena suerte, en México, le dice que la va a estar esperando.

Al llegar Braulio y su hermana a la capital, van a un Cabaret donde la empresa "Campoamor" lleva a cabo una cena de los artistas de cine, donde se encuentra "Alfonso del Madrazo"; Luisa se acerca a la mesa del actor, para platicar con él, pero éste finge no conocerlos. Luisa regresa a la mesa donde está su hermano y le comenta lo sucedido, pero al mismo tiempo, en ese lugar, se lleva a cabo un concurso para ver si alguien del público puede supera el falsete de la actriz y cantante nacional "Elisa Miranda" (Guillermina Grin). Braulio, enojado, se levanta para reclamarle a Alfonso, pero el maestro de ceremonias (Salvador Julián) y demás comensales piensan que quiere concursar. Braulio canta y ganar el premio de un beso de la actriz, pero él sólo piensa en reclamarle a Alfonso, así que mientras se pelean, Elisa le comenta al productor Isaac (Florencio Castelló) y al director "Borsellini Rodríguez" (Alejandro Ciangherotti) que quiere de galán a Braulio, ya que lo ve como el hombre perfecto para su próxima película. El productor y el director de cine invitan a Braulio y a su hermana a su mesa, donde la actriz le da el premio a Braulio y acuerdan reunirse al día siguiente, para hacer negociaciones y ver si Luisa puede trabajar en el cine.

Braulio y Luisa acuden a la cita con el productor y el director de cine, para que le hagan pruebas de canto y actuación a ella, Luisa queda agotada, y los realizadores de cine en privado le comentan a Braulio que su hermana no sirve para el cine, pero que él sí puede hacer carrera en la industria y poder ganar mucho dinero. Braulio acepta la oferta que le hacen, para poder comprar el gabinete dental que quiere su papá, con la condición que digan que a la que están contratando es a su hermana Luisa, así que le dan el libreto más grande que tienen archivado, para que se aprenda todos los diálogos y así entretenerla.

Al día siguiente le dan llamado Braulio para empezar a trabajar, pero al llegar a los estudios tiene dificultad para ingresar, ya que no aparece su nombre en la lista de acceso, cuando logra entrar a los estudios y mientras busca el foro dónde se filma su película, se topa con cuatro estrellas de la época de oro del cine mexicano (Pedro Vargas, Tin Tan, Leticia Palma y Antonio Badú). Al encontrar Braulio el foro donde se graba su película, el director le explica que tuvieron que cambiarle de nombre, "Braulio Peláez", por, "Alfredo Malvarrosa", uno más llamativo.

Con el paso del tiempo, el equipo de producción se da cuenta de que Braulio no tiene el talento para ser estrella, por eso, el productor lo cita en su oficina donde le pregunta cuanto quiere para cancelar su contrato. Braulio acepta que no es bueno para esa profesión y les dice que no quiere nada, así que decide regresar a su pueblo. Braulio y su hermana abordan el tren para regresar a "Chipiculco", pero antes de que avance el tren una billetera de lotería se acerca a Braulio y le dice que el billete de lotería que le compró cuando recién llegaron a la Ciudad de México salió premiado y, se bajan del tren para poderlo cobrar y poder pagar el gabinete dental que quiere su papá. Todo el pueblo da la bienvenida a Braulio y Luisa como famosos actores; Luisa se le declara a su exnovio y cuando regresa Braulio a la escuela encuentra un dibujo en el pizarrón, al pregunta ¿quién había sido?, un alumno levanta la mano y dice ¡fui yo! Braulio se limpia los lentes y al acercarse descubre que la mano es la de Elisa, quien lo sigue hasta "Chipiculco" porque está enamorada de él.

It's Time to Get Excited About Your Clothes Again After a Year in Sweatpants—Here's How
A professional organizer and life coach reminds you how to fall back in love with your stuff—and yourself.
Melanie J. Whyte
Melanie J. Whyte is a Real Simple contributor with a focus on LGBTQ+ culture, home improvement, and style. She's been writing for nearly a decade, and her work has been published or featured in NPR News Morning Edition, Refinery29, HelloGiggles, and other publications. In 2021, she started her own interior design service, and she loves sharing her knowledge of rent-friendly decorating tips and sustainable ways to source home furniture and decor.
Let's be honest. When was the last time you put on an outfit—a whole outfit—you were excited to wear? After over a year with little contact with the outside world, it's both exciting and scary to get dressed, back out there, and be visible to the world.
Personal style has always been a way of showing what's on the inside to the people in your life—a very personal outward expression of how you see yourself and how you want others to see you. As we enter a happy post-vaccination season—also known as #shotgirlsummer—it's time to reflect on what you learned about yourself this past year. Did you change jobs, start a new hobby or discover something deeper about yourself in Zoom therapy? Or did you simply realize you'd been living with way too much, and that you're happiest with only the basics? Whether you're no longer feeling connected to the clothes in your closet, or you need a confidence boost to get you back into the groove of choosing everyday outfits, follow these four steps to fall back in love with your favorite pieces all over again, and maybe even recognize the growth you've undergone in the process.
Step One: Set an Intention—What Do You Want to Achieve From Your Closet Audit?
While you may not need to decide if an item brings you joy, take out each item of clothing and consider if it aligns with the person you are today rather than the person you were before the pandemic. As Faith Roberson, a professional organizer and life coach, likes to say, organization isn't just about the stuff—it's also organizing yourself. It's asking how you've changed this past year and who you hope to become as we emerge out of it.
"Clients will ask me, 'Why am I crying while I put a belt in a Goodwill bag?' It's about what you lost and what you gained," Faith said. "The emotional conversation is inevitable. How do you want to feel? Your tastes most likely have changed because of what you've gone through."
Essentially, leave room for the unknown. It's not just getting rid of clothes, decluttering is also about honoring that you've changed. Take time to process this truth.
Pro Tip: This applies to going back to the workplace as well. You're going back to the office differently. Even companies like Google are changing how they treat the office. Whether you've lost your job, changed industries, or are going back to the exact same cubicle, approach your professional clothes with the same intentionality. How do you want to represent yourself in this space?

Step Two: Let Go of the Perfectionist Approach to Organizing
With inspiration from social media, home improvement shows, and self-help books, we see what it looks like to be organized and perfect. When you start with those lofty expectations, it adds unnecessary pressure. Why are you doing this for you? This sets the tone for your own (realistic) standards.
"Figure out why you want to tackle your closet. A big part of preparing is writing it down and having that affirmation for yourself, especially if you start to feel insecure," Faith said. "Affirmations may feel cheesy, but try it in the third person, like "Faith has great taste." It creates a sense of distance and is scientifically proven to create better results on the believability scale."
When you have this purpose written down, it's time to try on your clothes. This may bring up insecurities, but this is when you turn back to your affirmations, whether it's body-positive encouragement or reminding yourself why you're tackling this project.
Pro Tip: "Does it bring you joy?" can sometimes feel like a loaded question. Instead of Marie Kondoing your way out of half your closet (love her to pieces, but it's hard!), instead try giving yourself an excuse to have a solo fashion show. In the safety of your bedroom, playing dress-up with your own stuff can make things feel lighter and lessen the pressure of decision-making. Like any relationship, you want to implement a sense of play into your everyday interaction with your closet. You'll remember why you loved a certain top, have an epiphany that you've never liked that sweater, and kind of feel like you're going shopping in your own closet.

Step Three: Get Ahead of the "I Have Nothing to Wear" Moment
Once you've made a stack of Keep, Maybe, and Goodbye piles, you can get into the fun part. Most likely your "Maybe" pile is filled with pieces you like but can't figure out what to do with, or you just don't have a replacement yet. Grab a notebook and pen to start a list of items you need to replace or a space you want to fill. You'll use this list to shop in the future so you don't overspend on clothes you don't need. Faith calls it her, "Shop with intention list."
Start mixing and matching your Maybe pile with your Keep pile. Any outfits come out of it? Those that are left behind are a good indicator that it may be time to graduate them to the Goodbye pile. Continually ask yourself, "Does this represent who I am today? Does it make me feel aligned with myself?" Clothes are an invitation to this new world. Even if it's old, it's about mixing with the new.
Pro Tip: Hang your items back up together as full outfits so you already know you have some exciting pieces waiting to bust out of there when happy hour is back on the calendar.
Step Four: Embrace the New You
Parting with clothes is an emotional practice. Don't believe us? Faith actually became a certified life coach to help her clients because they often needed emotional support when decluttering their home. On the one hand, it's exciting to build a new closet (even with existing pieces), but it can be scary to part ways with what no longer serves you. Change is hard.
If you're in a position where you can't afford to buy replacement clothes right now, Faith reminds us that generosity begets generosity.
"You can donate your clothes, you can sell them on Poshmark, or you can give them to friends—it's a beautiful karmic exchange," Faith said. "If you don't believe it, volunteer somewhere where you can recognize that people need what you don't want. If you're frugal and you're holding on to something you don't want, you're more at a loss than a gain."
It's a practice to create space for yourself and the person you've grown into. Now that you've cultivated the right mindset, get out there and show off your new 'fits. Remember, you're doing great—and you look fabulous!

Summit Motorsports Park New Home of NHRA Summit Racing Series North Central Division ET Bracket Finals
Courtesy of Mary Lendzion
NORWALk, Ohio --
As one of the most popular and prestigious tracks in the country, Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio, is now the new home of the NHRA Summit Racing Series North Central Division ET Bracket Finals.
The renowned race had been held at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indiana every year, and will begin its run at America's Racetrack Sept. 16-20, 2020.
In addition to competing for a coveted NHRA Division 3 championship on the storied strip, racers will be competing for a chance to chase a world championship at the Auto Club NHRA Finals at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, California.
"This is an opportunity to bring the best of the North Central Division and the Summit Racing Series to Summit Racing's backyard, as it's located so close to Summit Motorsports Park," said William Tharpe, director of the NHRA North Central Division. "In addition to that, it's an opportunity to create a new experience for the ET Bracket Finals and for everybody. Sometimes, to grow, you have to venture out of your comfort zone, and Summit Motorsports Park, which is reputed for its customer service, is a good place for us to do that."
To Summit Motorsports Park president Bill Bader Jr., Summit Motorsports Park being home to the NHRA Summit Racing Series North Central Division ET Bracket Finals means as much as being home to the Summit Racing NHRA Nationals, and racers and race fans can expect the event known for its close competition and even closer camaraderie to be taken to the next level.
"It is indeed a privilege to be the new home of the NHRA Summit Racing Series North Central Division ET Bracket Finals," said Bader Jr. "Indy has been the host facility for many years, and to say expectations are high is an understatement. Our entire team has embraced this opportunity and will be ready to roll out the red carpet and deliver the Norwalk Experience come September 2020."
The event is sure to be a highly-anticipated addition to an action-packed season at Summit Motorsports Park, which is located on more than 400 acres, welcomes more than 500,000 fans each year for sportsman and professional drag racing and is close to restaurants, stores, hotels and waterparks. It also has been named Track of the Year nineteen times by the NHRA, NMCA and IHRA, and is home of the annual Kelly Night Under Fire and Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.
Summit Motorsports Park is at 1300 State Route 18, Norwalk, Ohio. For information, call 419-668-5555 or visit summitmotorsportspark.com or nhradiv3.com.


I must admit when I heard about the Hello Lamp Post project at the Art Alliance Austin annual party*, I was pretty interested.
I regularly run past a number of places that have the project, but since I'm running and don't have my phone, I'd not tried it until the other day. I found myself at Austin Bergstrom Airport, waiting for my my luggage, at #3. Right there in front of me was a Hello Lamp Post project. I tried.
Apart from the superficial novelty of txting an object, one of the Art City guitars, the "conversation" didn't last long.
#512: Good evening [etc.] How do you like to express yourself?
#512: I'm only just getting the hang of talking. Someone told me "playing the guitar" Another thing. Can you play any instruments?
#512: I must learn to play something myself. Let me ask another question. Have you any songs stuk in your head?
and that was it. I have to say, less than I was hoping for. Surely artificial intelligence can do better, not even an Austin fact of the day, or details about the project, number of objects, or anything actually engaging for me.
* I'm an Art Alliance Austin Collectors Circle member. Join me. While my experience with this project may not have met my expectations, the various Art Night events, and the upcoming Art City Austin events are well worth supporting and they've had both some great art, and great experience art.


As other introverts will understand immediately, after I've charged into the world with some public face on, blogging faithfully for a week, for example, I'm left both exhausted and terrified and I slink back into my den, wrap my tail around my face and try to hibernate off the contact. I use to try to justify this in various ways: I really don't like people; I'm no good at anything, anyway; why bother when there's so much else to do.
But that's all bull and I know it. Truth is: I'm an introvert and while I might love listening to and engaging with others, it's just really tiring after a time. Like writing, being part of the world is just hard for me.
Given the careers I've had so far–and I don't count out there being even more despite having used up more than my allotted quota in just 60 years–people don't get it when I express this. "You've taught university classes; you've owned a business; you're a teacher of Qi Gong and a personal trainer now. How much more extrovert can you get than that?" But those aren't extrovert jobs are they? When I've done those things, I can fill a very specific role, much like a shy actor can still dominate the stage.
When I stopped blogging a week or so ago, while I was curled up in my den being damned impressed with all the blogs I was reading, I started wondering about how or whether I was odd at all. Are others out there posting because they are wild party extroverts? Or is blogging, whether as brilliantly done as livelysceptic or as minimalistic blather as I, really a safe haven for the introverts of the world? When I read others blogs, I feel "part of the world" in a way I never can standing stupidly at a cocktail party, drink in hand, wishing I still smoked just for something to do with the other hand, trying to think of those pithy questions you are supposed to be asking to draw others out so you can just listen.
Having crawled out of my safe warm fur-lined hole for a moment to ask the question "Are you an introvert or extrovert?" I think it's time to go back to sleep.
Sitting, my free ten minutes scrolling before me, I find the breath, acknowledge the sensation and happily settle into my meditation. When I meditate, I try not to shut out the world, try instead to let all sensation in, listening to not just my breath but the gentleman, using the term loosely, in the next office screaming into the phone, rather enjoying the way he can string profanity into argument. I feel the tingle in my crossed legs, the air from the heater on my face, or the scratch of my sweater on my neck.
All very relaxing, refreshing, reminding me to stay in this moment, this place.
Until the next sensation comes through, one that really makes me feel this moment all too vividly: my socks are smelly. Do you suppose the Buddha had this problem?

The UK could be offered a Brexit delay to 22 May on the condition MPs approve the PM's deal next week, a draft European Council document says.
EU leaders are still in discussions in Brussels over the UK's request to postpone the 29 March exit date by three months.
However there have been reports that an extension could be offered until 7 May only.
The draft document says no extension is possible beyond the European elections.
She has told European Council President Donald Tusk that she needs more time to get her deal agreed by MPs and passed into law.
The BBC's Brussels correspondent Adam Fleming said Mrs May had spoken to EU leaders for 90 minutes and was asked several times what her contingency plans were if she lost the third "meaningful vote" on her deal in Parliament.

Q: For which values of $m$ do these curves enclose a region? The curves are $y=mx$ and $y=\dfrac{x}{x^2+1}$.
I didn't know how to approach this problem, so I decided to try some numbers for $m$ in a graphing calculator. For me it looks like $m$ must be on the interval $(0,1)$. Is this correct, and is there a proof or a more mathematical argument for why this is true?
I am also asked to find the region in terms of $m$. Here's what I did:
$$a=\int_{-1}^0 \left(mx-\frac{x}{x^2+1}\right)dx+\int_0^1 \left(\frac{x}{x^2+1}-mx\right)dx=\ln2-m.$$
Is that correct?

A: $m$ has to be smaller than the gradient of $\displaystyle y=\frac{x}{x^2 + 1}$ at $x=0$ to enclose a region. $m$ also has to be greater than $0$ to enclose a region, otherwise it will never intersect the second graph. $\displaystyle 0<m<\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x}{x^2+1}\right)$ at $x=0$, which turns out to be $1$. So, $0<m<1$.

A: We want to find some point $x>0$ on the real number line such that
$$
mx = \frac{x}{x^2+1}.
$$
Note that $m>0$ so that the line and the curve will intersect at another point other than at $(0,0)$.
By clearing the denominators, the above equality implies $m(x^3+x)=x$, or
$$
x(mx^2+m-1)=0
$$
by moving all terms to one side.
So
$$
x=0 \hspace{4mm}
\mbox{ or }
\hspace{4mm}
x = \frac{-0\pm \sqrt{0^2-4m(m-1)}}{2m}
$$
by using the quadratic formula.
In order for
$$
x = \frac{-0\pm \sqrt{0^2-4m(m-1)}}{2m}
$$
to be a real number, we need what is under the radical $-4m^2+4m=4m(1-m)$ to be greater than $0$.
Since we want $4m(1-m)>0$ and $m>0$ by assumption, $1-m>0$. So $m<1$.
In conclusion, $0<m<1$.

Hands on with the Google Stadia
Can the Google Stadia stand the test of time?
Ciaran Busby
We had the opportunity earlier this week of getting hands-on experience with the Google Stadia platform, and boy was it exciting.
Ahead of the Premiere Pack's release in Ireland and 13 other territories on Tuesday the 19th of November 2019, Google Ireland held a private pre-release event of the platform. From launch, Stadia will feature 22 titles such as 'Red Dead Redemption 2', 'Mortal Kombat 11', and 'Just Dance 2020', to name but a few.
From my 45-minute playtest with Stadia I must say, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. The interface is easy to navigate, simply designed, and stylish. Across all screens available to play on, that interface remains consistent. Drop-in, drop-out play on those screens isn't as seamless as picking up a different device and continuing immediately - you still have to boot the game on the new device – but save states are, meaning you can go from playing for hours on your home TV and pick up right where you left off on the go, on another TV screen, or anywhere really.
The controller itself is comfortable and easy to get used to in terms of button placement. Its design seems like a marriage between the shape and size of an Xbox controller, with the analogue stick placement of a DualShock. Stadia's controller is pretty much the only piece of hardware you need to play apart from the Chromecast Ultra needed to stream to TV, which means that the platform is super portable.
The Google Stadia controller and the Google Chromecast Ultra
'Gylt', the Stadia exclusive title developed by Tequila Works whom you may know from 2012's 'Deadlight' or 2017's 'Rime', took up much of my session purely out of interest. It's a nightmarish stealth adventure game that takes inspiration from something like 'Alan Wake', and mashes it together with smooth Pixar-esque animation.
Most of my playtime was spent on the TV screen, which was streaming in 1080p resolution. The graphics were on par with existing consoles that games like 'Red Dead Redemption 2' and 'Mortal Kombat 11' are presently available. I didn't feel as though there was any lag on the stream, or from my inputs even when playing a super-fast button masher like 'Mortal Kombat 11'. Granted, I was playing on Google HQ corporate Wi-Fi which may have had some part to play in the form of a high-speed connection. That being said, I was pointedly informed pre-session that the building-wide connection wasn't optimised in any way for videogame streaming.
To test other screens, I was given the Google Pixel 3 smartphone wired to the Stadia controller and attached with what Google calls "The Claw". This is essentially a phone holder that attaches to the Stadia controller for gaming on the go. While it feels a bit funny at first to play like this, I can imagine you'd get used to it quickly, and there's something to be said for being able to play portably with a full-sized ergonomic controller. At launch, the controller must be wired by USB to a compatible smartphone, but wireless playing is coming down the line. Don't get your hopes up if you're an iOS user though, as there has thus far been no announcement made on compatibility with the software.
Further from that point, there are some features unavailable from day one - Google Assistant and YouTube integration for example. These will be updated and available at a later date, but for now Google is focusing on ensuring the Stadia's core proposition of videogame streaming is operating to perfection.
The Premiere Pack (€129 from the Google Store), launched yesterday, consists of the Stadia Controller, a Chromecast Ultra, and a 3-month subscription to Stadia Pro – but not "The Claw" attachment which must be bought separately. Right now, the only way to play your Stadia is with the Stadia Pro subscription as free access to the service isn't available until an unspecified time next year. Although, it's more or less a given that if you want to play on Stadia, you'll be shelling out the €9.99 monthly subscription fee to play the free games on offer, avail of discounts for other titles, and stream in the highest quality possible.
There has been somewhat of a misconception of Stadia online with people believing it to be the Netflix of gaming. On the contrary, while there will be free games available to stream with your Stadia Pro subscription, most titles must be purchased from the store. The selling point of Stadia is the ability to stream games instantly to any compatible screen without the need of a large download that could take hours on other consoles, not the accessibility to a huge game library for a minimal fee.
Stadia games can be played from PC as well, using either the controller or keyboard and mouse configuration. Currently, you'll still need either the Founders Edition or the Premiere Pack to play using a keyboard, but once Stadia Base launches in 2020, you will be able to play from your keyboard without purchasing the Stadia controller. Again, you'll need to pay for all games and won't have access to the free game library or discounts on titles.
Google recommends that for streaming in 720p definition, your internet speed should be capable of downloading at a minimum 10mb/s, and for 1080p you should have a connection around 20mb/s. Based on Ireland's average broadband speed of around 16mb/s, this should be accessible for most users. If you live in rural areas where connections aren't as quick, then you may have to re-evaluate your purchase intent.
For 4k streaming, the recommended connection strength is 30mb/s, but it's essential – if not obvious - to note that you need a 4k compatible device to stream in this resolution. If you're unsure of your connection speed, Google has included a nifty speed checker on the Stadia website to check compatibility before you buy.
For the family audience out there, who may be thinking of getting Stadia as a Christmas present for a younger gamer, Google have a suite of parental control options. If your young player is supposed to be doing their homework and try to boot a game on the service, Google will send a notification to the account holder and give them the option to restrict access to the stream.
While Stadia might not have all the bells and whistles it hopes to have at launch, it has all the promise to deliver a gaming experience that shouldn't go ignored by gamers, and a lot of potential for developers to be creative.

Q: Can't run qt commands like qtviewer I am new to Qt so I follow a tutorial on QML. It starts with a basic qml file which should be run with qmlviewer.
The problem is that when I start qmlviewer it says
qmlviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt/bin/qmlviewer': No such file or directory
whereis qmlviewer tells me that it's location is /usr/bin/qmlviewer so I try to run it with this absolute path, but I still get the same error
qmlviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt/bin/qmlviewer': No such file or directory
Why is it still looking for that location ? How can I solve this ?
I should mention that I have tried qtconfig just for testing, and I still get the error, so this is a global Qt problem.
Thank you

A: As said in the documentation : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-porting-qt5.html

The qmlviewer tool provided for prototyping and testing QML
  applications in Qt 4.x has been replaced with the qmlscene tool which
  integrates with the new scenegraph features in Qt 5.

So using qmlscence all works.

If you're looking for peace, quiet and fresh country air, a springtime break in Coromandel is just the ticket, as Rochelle Gillespie discovered.
The Friday afternoon where everyone descended on Auckland for the opening of the Rugby World Cup, we packed up the car, and "got out of dodge". Our "party central" was a self-contained cottage on a lifestyle block in Coromandel - the country yes, but still with colour TV so we could watch the opening ceremony fireworks by proxy.
As soon as we arrived, two and a half hours from Auckland, the kids ran straight for the trampoline, while our host Fiona Murphy showed me around the cottage. I told her "cottage" might be understating it a little. This is really a fully set-up home (indeed it's where the Murphy family lived for six months while their own house was being renovated).
Benefits of baching
Usually when we pack up the kids and head off for a long weekend our accommodation of choice is a rented bach. With a husband who's a reluctant camper (his idea of roughing it is hitting a small white ball out of long grass with a 7-iron), we favour the ease of renting someone else's holiday home. Most of the time the only extra thing you may have to pack other than your own clothes and toiletries, is some bed linen. But at Dragonfly Cottage we didn't even have to do that. It's fair to say the Murphys go the extra country-cottage mile.
Our beds were made with crisp white sheets and boasted electric blankets to keep the chill off when the sun went down. And to further keep us toasty there was a log burner in the living room, with kindling kindly stacked inside. The cottage also had enough thrillers to have kept Ian Fleming happy for a year or so, as well as a great selection of DVDs and recent House and Garden Magazines.
With kids in tow baches are a great option for the simple necessities such as washing off the sand in the bath, heating up milk in the microwave, or keeping the wine cool in the fridge (yes, my husband calls that a simple necessity).
Rural idyll
So while the parents enjoyed the delights of Dragonfly Cottage so did the kids. Hosts Fiona and Justin Murphy have two girls, Charlotte and Hannah, who were great tour guides and playmates for our young trio. They are probably the most polite children I've ever met, maybe it's the wholesome country air that does it. They told us all about the farm and introduced us to their menagerie of animals. Our 20-month-old Baxter was in his element, feed bucket in hand, ready to serve breakfast to the piglets. Gabriella, eight, and Jimmie, four, enjoyed looking after the Murphys' pet lamb Misty; where Misty went our other two were sure to go. I did worry that it'd be difficult to drag them away from this little slice of paradise to explore the rest of Coromandel's wonders.
For more: Dragonfly Cottage costs $160 to $250 a night. For more information go to Dragon Fly Cottage www.bookabach.co.nz/6476.
Hot Water Beach is a quick eight-minute drive away and listed in the AA's 101 Must-Dos for Kiwis. So despite the pull of the farmyard, we packed togs, towels, and a couple of borrowed shovels from our kindly hosts and hit the beach. The best time to visit is two hours either side of low tide. Head for the rocky spot in the middle of the white sand beach and start digging your natural spa. The water can be deceptively hot in places, so you do need to take care. It could easily be called Very Hot Water Beach.
Top tip: We made perhaps an easy mistake for first-timers by parking in the first carpark, which meant a slightly longer walk along the dunes carting all our gear. I'd recommend you keep on the road and head for the Hot Water Beach village where you'll find a carpark closer to the beach, a café and an ice cream shop for treats on your return.
After the beach, it was back to the bach for a quick rinse down, a change of clothes and a lunch break. Then back in the car, and north to Whitianga, 20 minutes away. At the wharf we climbed aboard a glass-bottomed boat and set off for a two-hour journey around the stunning Coromandel coastline. We saw the holiday homes of the rich on Cooks Beach, the majestic Cathedral Cove at Hahei, but sadly were a day late to catch sight of orca and dolphins. Despite the beautifully sunny day, the waters were a little murky so visibility wasn't fabulous, but the kids still loved fish-spotting through the glass bottom. Rod (as in fishing) acted as suitably skilled skipper complete with a plethora of jokes he hauls out for tourists. ("That's an ugly fish, only his mother would love him" and "One drip from the cave above and you'll get some luck, or get lucky, I can never remember which".) The two-hour duration was just right for the children and, best of all, the boat has a roof which would be an absolute must on a hot summer's day.
For more: Glass Bottom Boat Trips leave daily at 10.30am and 1.30pm from Whitianga Wharf (also 8am and 4pm in summer). Check in 15 minutes before. Prices: $85 per adult, $50 per child (three to 15 years) or a family pass for $260.
Top tip: There's a playground right next to the wharf where the kids can play and get rid of some pent-up energy before getting on the boat. You'll want to pack some snacks and take bottled water and, in summer, your togs because the boat often stops to let people go snorkelling.
We also enjoyed a classic Kiwi family meal of fish and chips down at the beach, and thoroughly recommend the Buffalo Beach Takeaways on Albert Street.
Rain, rain go away
Sunday morning and we were up bright and early to head over the hill to Coromandel township. On the way we met the rain. Lots of it. Still, the intrepid travellers that we were we headed to Driving Creek Railway as originally planned. Potter Barry Brickell spent over 30 years building a life-sized railway on the side of a mountain - a simply astonishing feat of engineering and enthusiasm. This is a tourist activity that's quaint and charming. It has been built with love and by hand so the only bells and whistles will come from the train horn and the conductor's "all aboard" ring.
The one-hour return train trip takes you to the cleverly named "Eyefull Tower" - although on our visit we got only an eyeful of low cloud and rain. I have been there once before and can vouch for the spectacular vistas of Coromandel township and beyond. While those views are impressive, it's Brickell's vision in creating something unique and quintessentially Kiwi in this part of the world that leaves a lasting impression.
For more: Ph: (07) 866 8703 or go to www.drivingcreekrailway.co.nz. Open daily 10am-5pm except for Christmas day and Anzac Morning. Prices: $25 per adult, $10 per child, $60 for a family pass.
Top tip: The 309 Road cuts across the peninsula but is a gravel road and very windy. Locals' advice was to take the road north through Whitianga, across and down to Coromandel. It takes about an hour. That is unless you're coming on the other side of the peninsula in which case head north from Thames. The railway is 3km north of the township.
With tummies desperate for food and the promise of a hot chocolate our next stop was Umu café in the middle of Coromandel township. They have highchairs and a kids' menu, plus delicious offerings from the cabinet. But as we sat inside the rain kept pelting down, putting the kibosh on the rest of our afternoon. We intended to head to Water Works on the outskirts of town - a virtual water wonderland with a human hamster wheel and water canons. But with the skies dark grey and our coats dripping, we kicked this one into touch. Never mind, as they say, it was a holiday of two halves, but in the end spending quality family together was the winner.
Rochelle Gillespie is a mum of three. She enjoyed watching the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup on TV, but admits to falling asleep half-way through the All Blacks versus Tonga match. If she manages to watch one of the 48 games through in its entirety she'll consider that a win.

PPB releases photos of de-masked protester
Investigation into June 29 protests continues
by: KOIN 6 News Staff
Posted: Jul 10, 2019 / 02:42 PM PDT / Updated: Jul 10, 2019 / 02:48 PM PDT
This man is wanted for an assault during a protest June 29, 2019 in Portland. PPB released the photo July 10, 2019
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — As the investigation into the June 29 protests continue, Portland police on Wednesday released photos of a young man wanted in an assault that day.
The downtown Portland protests between right-wing and left-wing groups ended with 3 arrests and a reignited debate over the way these protests are handled.
On July 3, PPB Chief Danielle Outlaw defended her officers and Mayor Ted Wheeler in a press conference.
"There were entities that planned a brawl in the city of Portland and no one seems to be upset about that," she said. "I don't know what they were protesting because they came to fight."
The chief also noted it is illegal in other states to wear a mask while committing a crime, something Portland protesters do every time.
"Wearing a mask makes it harder for us to identify" violent protesters, and said she supported legislation that would prohibit criminals from wearing masks.
Wheeler, who was out of town during the protest and its aftermath, said he needed to hear more about Outlaw's mask plan before weighing in.
"I heard some constitutional and potential legal questions that were raised. I want to have the opportunity to meet with her and work with her on her perspective on it so I'm not ready to have a perspective on it today."
The suspect wanted in the assault was wearing a mask during the protest, but photos surfaced of his face.
The young man has blonde hair, has a nose piercing and a distinctive neck tattoo.
Anyone with information is asked to contact PPB Detective Anthony Merrill at 503.823.4033.

I'm back today with some Valentine eye candy for you!
I'm so in love with these pretty topiaries!
Making them was easy, but, I will admit, more time consuming than I expected. My supplies included: straight pins, a gold paint marker, gold glitter, hydrangea punch, scrapbook paper, two Styrofoam balls, and two gold candlesticks (from Goodwill).
2. I punched out hydrangeas from three different scrapbook pages.
3. I layered two hydrangeas, and stuck them to the Styrofoam balls using the straight pins.
4. Voila! Just keep adding more hydrangeas until the whole ball is covered. You will want to leave a small space on the bottom empty, so that you can place the ball onto your candle stick.
Note: You could hot glue your hydrangea ball to the candlestick for extra durability. I simply placed my ball on top of the candlestick, because I want to reuse these candlesticks for other projects.
I ended up adding a few left over heart cutouts from my postage garland to the topiary to make them even more Valentine-y.
Previous Post: « Valentine Week: Postage Garland!
Beautiful! I've never seen a hydrangea punch. Very clever!
I love all the little details on each pinned flower and heart. This is so pretty! I found you on The Winthrop Chronicles 🙂 Have a great day!
Oh! These must have taken FOREVER to complete!! But you know what- they were absolutely worth it! I love how you balanced them on the candlesticks. Very pretty!
So cute, April! I love that you added a little bit of glitter too! Gotta have glitter 🙂 Pinned!
Ha! Love it! This project is on my to do list! I just rearranged some things in the house and this is what I wanted to do to add some color! Love the pins you found!
I should say made! Great idea with the gold pen!

Many of you will have heard Dr Mike Loosemore and Peter Savage present their Active Movement programme and its first-ever trial at a secondary school when it comes to Park House from 6 January 2016.
Its premise is around a new understanding that sedentary behaviour is a separate health risk to lack of physical activity that they are looking to overcome through a unique way of integrating low-level activity into the school's daily routine.
Our media teacher, Mr Marshall, worked with the Active Movement team to produce this video as an introduction to this extraordinary new concept in improving our immediate and long-term well-being.

Last week I was doing some art on my finger nails. I gave myself a home-made manicure first then I applied purple nail varnish. Next I used a bobby pin apply a layer of black polka dots over the first layer. I hope you like my nail design.

"Switzerland stands out because of its quality of its VR productions"
For two months, the Apelab startup presented its products at the first Startup Zone to be opened at the Swisscom Shop in Zug, where customers were able to try their latest virtual reality game, "Break a leg". Maria Beltran, Apelab CDO and co-founder, talks about her experience in the Startup Zone, the Swiss game design scene and Apelab's future plans.
You moved out of the Startup Zone in the Swisscom Shop at the end of November. How was the experience?
For us it was a good experience. I visited the Startup Zone on the opening day and it was great. I liked being able to show our products directly to the audience, although we weren't at the shop for very long: virtual reality is something new and customers need to get used to it. But I guess it is very important to give them the chance to try VR experiences, sometimes for the first time. We have been to a lot of events, where we have presented what we have been working on to the public. Therefore, presenting a market-ready product at the Startup Zone was a new thing for us. It is more tangible for people since they are able to interact with the headset and the controller. We also realised that presenting our products in a shop helps the customers understand that they can actually buy them. We also reached a different, very valuable audience for us, since the product was easy to access: everyone could visit and have a look at it in the shop.
Are you satisfied with the sales of your latest game "Break a Leg" so far?
We launched a free version of our game "Break a Leg" first and that went pretty well. We had a lot of downloads and all the reviews were very good. A premium application is always more challenging to sell because it's such a young market and not everyone has a headset yet. I guess it's still very early for the market. Anyway, we are happy with the number of downloads so far. It's a nice reward for all the hard work we put into it.
How would you describe the virtual reality scene in Switzerland from a game designer's perspective?
Although Switzerland is a small country and there are only a few people working in the virtual reality game market, we are always present at all the big international events. I guess we stand out because of the originality and quality of our content. We are a long way behind countries like China in terms of production quantity – China is a very big market for VR games. But our content is of a very different kind and if we keep on producing this high quality, we can maintain our reputation internationally. And now that public funds and television are starting to realise that virtual and augmented reality is indeed a new market with a lot of possibilities, the chances for the design scene in Switzerland are growing.
Right now, we are focusing on tools that can build up VR experiences, which will be our next big move. For the last four years, we have been producing content, but at the same time we have been developing a framework called SpatialStories to speed up production, primarily for our own use. As we are mostly designers at Apelab, it had to be an application that was easy to use. We realised that there is a huge demand for such tools, especially when demand for content increased suddenly, which is why we have started to distribute our production system to other developers. Our software helps people to actually develop virtual and augmented reality without having to code. It's a way of democratising VR/AR production. At the moment, we are working on a new application called Studio, a standalone version that will make VR or AR production ten times faster and easier than before. The launch of the Beta version is planned for the first quarter of 2018. It will hopefully become a new standard for easier production.
The first Startup Zone was opened in the Swisscom Shop in Zug at the beginning of October. This pilot project enables selected start-ups to present their latest products for a limited period of time. Startups can use this public exposure to raise awareness of their products and gather valuable customer feedback.
Apelab is a Virtual Reality studio based in Geneva and Los Angeles, founded in 2014. After Sequenced, an award-winning interactive animated series, and Watch Out, a casual VR game adapted from the Oscar-nominated movie My life as a Zucchini, the transdisciplinary team recently released Break a Leg, a VR game inspired by the 19th century magic show that has already been named Best Mobile Innovation by VRCORE (China). Apelab was one of the first companies to be selected last year to join Dart17 , a test laboratory in San Francisco where creatives can experiment and scale their projects.
