Técsey (Teutschl) Ferenc (Selmecbánya, 1838 – Kassa, 1904. augusztus 9.) kohómérnök, a diósgyőri vasgyár egykori igazgatója, a Siemens–Martin-acélgyártás hazai bevezetője.

Élete, munkássága
Teutschl Ferenc Selmecbányán született, és 1858-ban itt, a Berg- und Forstakademie-n (Bányászati-kohászati és erdészeti akadémia) szerzett kohómérnöki diplomát. Az ezt követő években számos helyen megfordult, volt bánya>számvevőségi gyakornok, vasműellenőr, vasműi művezető, igazgatósági számtiszt.

Kohászati gyakorlatát, főleg a vasfinomítás terén Zólyombrézón szerezte meg Hamerák Mihály mellett, és kiváló szakembere lett a területnek. A diósgyőri kohászat ebben az időben nehéz helyzetbe került, ezért a pénzügyminisztérium –Péch Antal javaslatára – 1874. január 8-án a diósgyőri Magyar Királyi Vasgyári Hivatal hengerművének üzemvezetője lett. 36 éves volt ekkor. 1875-ben Hamerák Mihállyal együtt külföldi tanulmányúton vett részt, melynek során a korszerű acélgyártást tanulmányozta. Hazatérve nekilátott a a vasfinomítás és a hengerlés módszereinek korszerűsítéséhez. Új hengerműi hengereket gyártatott, új üregezéssel, és elkezdte a kemencék átépítését. Ezzel egy időben javaslatot tett a minisztériumnak a Siemens–Martin-acélgyártás bevezetésére. A tervek jóváhagyása és a pénzügyi feltételek teljesülése után felépült Diósgyőrben az első magyarországi SM-acélmű, az első csapolás 1879. július 8-án történt meg. A sikert követően mindketten, Hamerák és őmaga, miniszteri elismerésben részesültek.

Az 1880-as években a diósgyőri vasművet egyesítették az Államvasutak Gépgyárával, a cél a magyar vasúti szükségletek kielégítése volt. 1880-ban Teutschl Ferencet igazgatóhelyettesnek nevezték ki. Úgy látta, hogy a gyár további fejlődése érdekében teljes kohászati vertikumot kell kiépíteni, nemcsak a sínhengerlést kell a középpontban tartani. 1882-ben üzembe helyezték az új Bessemer-acélművet, 1888-ban új reverzáló (irányváltó) sínhengerművet helyeztek üzembe, majd 1890-ben – fő törekvése eredményeként – számos új termék (mozdony, szerkocsi, vasúti kocsi kerékvázak, gépalkatrészek) gyártását vezették be, fejlesztették a kovácsműhelyt, a gépműhelyt, emellett bevezette a nagy méretű kovácsolt darabok gyártását is. A diósgyőri gyártmányok kiváló minőséget képviseltek, az acélöntésű kerékvázakat Ausztriába is szállították, jobbak voltak a Krupp-féle termékektől is. Az acélöntödében gyártották az Al-Duna szabályozásához szükséges jó minőségű sziklafúrókat és az Erzsébet híd horgonytartóját és lánctagjait. A fejlődést jelzi, hogy 1895-ben a munkáslétszám meghaladta 4400-at. A vertikumbővítés jegyében 1897-ben bevezették a durvalemezek, az acéltartók és az U-acélok hengerlését. 1898 végén megkezdték a páncéltörő gránátokhoz szükséges nikkelacél gyártását.

1901. október 31-én, több mint négy évtizednyi szolgálat után vonult nyugdíjba, ekkor magyarosította a nevét Técseyre. Bár élete nagyobb részében a Teutschl vezetéknevet használta, az utókor Técsey néven emlékezik rá. 1904. augusztus 9-én halt meg Kassán, sírja a vasgyári temetőben van. Nevét utca őrzi a Vasgyárban, a diósgyőr-vasgyári római katolikus templom mellett húzódik.

Book Review: They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
September 5, 2017 by Amanda MacGregor Leave a Comment
New York Times bestselling author Adam Silvera reminds us that there's no life without death and no love without loss in this devastating yet uplifting story about two people whose lives change over the course of one unforgettable day.
On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They're going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they're both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There's an app for that. It's called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day.
In the tradition of Before I Fall and If I Stay, They Both Die at the End is a tour de force from acclaimed author Adam Silvera, whose debut, More Happy Than Not, the New York Times called "profound."
I am an extremely impatient person. I really am. So the fact that I can make myself read in order of publication date, even when a book I am dying to read shows up at my house long before it's due out, is a miracle. I am super impatient, but I am super duper organized and a fan of systems, which I guess trumps my impatience. Still, the closer I got to September books, the more desperate I grew to read this new book by Adam Silvera. I absolutely loved his previous books, History is All You Left Me and More Happy Than Not. I think I loved this new book even more than the previous two.
Imagine a world where everything is exactly the same as it is now, except there's this company called Death-Cast that calls you up on the day you're slated to die and alerts you to this fact. Both Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio get this call in the early hours of September 5th. No one has ever avoided their death. The title is They Both Die at the End. There is no doubt where this story is headed. And while the idea of the story is pretty clear—live your life to its fullest on this last day while ruminating on wasted opportunities and lost potential—watching the characters do this was an absolute joy. Their day was not predictable, and even in places where it kind of us, it still was surprising and delightful, in spite of the incredibly dark notion of their impending deaths lurking around at every moment.
Puerto Rican Mateo and Cuban-American Rufus meet through the Last Friend app, an app designed to help you meet up with someone to spend your last day with. Their connection is immediate, intense, and one that deserves far longer to play out than the time allotted to them. Rufus, a bisexual foster kid, has really only had fellow foster kids Aimee, Malcolm, and Tagoe to turn to since his parents and sister died not long ago. And he can't spend his last day with them for complicated reasons involving the police and a nameless gang. Mateo has really only ever had his dad, who is in a coma (his mother died in childbirth), and his best friend Lidia, who he doesn't want to die in front of. Neither Mateo nor Rufus could have possibly expected to find such a powerful match on their End Day. Together, they struggle with the guilt and pain of both living and dying all while falling in love at the absolute worst time. On their End Day, they laugh, dance, sing, "skydive," share their stories, say goodbyes, witness others' End Days, cry, hurt, heal, and live.
The chapters alternate between Mateo and Rufus, with many brief chapters about the lives of those that surround them—their friends, people at the Death-Cast call center, the nameless gang, and others—showing how Rufus and Mateo's lives were linked with their own. Every chapter is bursting with life and plans and regrets, and every chapter brings us one step closer to that inevitable ending. Told with warmth and humor and so much love, Silvera creates a stunningly powerful examination of what it means to really live your life. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Mateo and Rufus, but isn't that how life always works?

Critical and theoretical fashions have led to waves of new approaches and methodologies, each with certain distinctive emphases and concerns. These have made Film Studies into a rich and varied discipline, particularly as they have formed an addition to concerns rather than a replacement for the concerns that have animated film theory and analysis since the birth of the medium. This module was conceived as a complement to 'Interpreting Film: Contextual Approaches to Cinema History'. It will look at some of the tradition and essential concerns of film theory, including notions of film as art and how films 'work' on a micro-scale. Its focus will be on 'Classical Film Theory' (including Eisenstein, Bazin, etc), which set out the traditional interests and emphases of Film Studies. The module will address questions of ontology and epistemology, as well as debates about art and cultural value Another central concern of this module is textual detail and there will be a focus on close textual analysis of films. Consequently, there is an interest in film 'specificity' – seeing film as film (as Victor Perkins put it), rather than seeing film as a symptom of something else (eg.social change, cultural degeneration), or as a vehicle for other concerns (such as more general social, economic or cultural history, or sociological, philosophical or psychological concerns) that reside outside of cinema.
- investigate the place of film theory in the development of Film Studies as an academic discipline - provide an opportunity for sustained close analysis of film texts - provide an overview of different theoretical paradigms in film studies, with a particular emphasis on modes of hermeneutics and assumptions about the nature of film. - train you in the processes of sophisticated film interpretation - encourage consideration of the detail of films, along with your broad production history, including generic and conventional concerns.
Typically the syllabus will include a number of important 'big questions' that have animated film theory. The module is concerned with the foundational questions and theories that grew up with film as a medium and remain important and unanswered questions. Some of the earliest theories of film were concerned with discovering film's 'essence': what is the defining aspect of film as a medium? Broadly, this so-called 'Classical Film Theory' can be divided into 'phenomenological concerns' about the convincing depiction of the world, and 'linguistic concerns' about the possibilities of providing a point of view of the world through inclusion, exclusion and connection. Other concerns include how film is able to have such a strong emotional impact, its potential as a manipulative device, and its status as an art.

Fidelity Electronics Inc. (Fidelity International Inc.) war ein 1959 in Chicago ursprünglich für den Handel mit Hörgeräten gegründetes Unternehmen. Es produzierte später Spitzentechnologie im Bereich Biomedizin und ab 1976 mit großem Erfolg Mikroschachcomputer, die dem Pionier einen Spitzenplatz in der Geschichte des Computerschachs verschafften.

Medizinische Geräte
In der Anfangsphase seiner Firmengeschichte entwickelte sich Fidelity zu einem führenden Händler von Hörgeräten und Apparaten zur Diagnose und Erforschung von Erkrankungen der Hörorgane. Im März 1970 übernahmen Sidney und Myron Samole als Alleingesellschafter das Unternehmen, das zu jener Zeit 35 Mitarbeiter hatte. Innerhalb weniger Jahre bauten sie Räumlichkeiten, Personal und Produktlinien aus, unter anderem im biomedizinischen Bereich. Die Fidelity-Entwicklung von Myo-elektrischen Händen, das heißt durch Hirnimpulse des Amputierten steuerbare Prothesen, brachte den ersten staatlichen Auftrag ein.

Schachcomputer

Sidney Samole gilt als der geistige Vater und die treibende Kraft zur Entwicklung des ersten kommerziellen Computerschachspiels. Ihm soll die Idee, einen Computer die Rolle eines menschlichen Gegners übernehmen zu lassen, während der Sendung einer Episode der TV-Serie Star Trek gekommen sein. Samole holte sich den Ingenieur Ron Nelson, der 1976 den Fidelity Chess Challenger 1 genannten Mikrocomputer entwarf und auch die ersten Programme einbaute. Nelson wurde später der technische Leiter der Spielcomputerproduktion von Fidelity.
Die weitere Softwareentwicklung lag in den Händen des Ehepaares Dan und Kathe Spracklen. Nach intensiver Arbeit und Verbesserung entschied sich Sid Samole, das Modell Fidelity Chess Challenger 7 auf der Chicago's Consumer Electronics Show im Januar 1977 vorzustellen.
Das Produkt eroberte mit 600.000 verkauften Einheiten die Schachwelt im Sturm und markierte den Anfang einer Entwicklung von immer neuen und leistungsfähigeren Schachcomputern in den 1980er Jahren.

Nachdem sich der Betrieb in Chicago auf über 13 Gebäude verteilt hatte und die Mitarbeiterzahl 250 überschritten war, entschloss man sich zu einer entscheidenden Expansion und begann 1978 in Miami, Florida mit dem Bau eines neuen Firmensitzes mit ausreichender Geschäftsfläche. 1980 waren dort über 1.250 Mitarbeiter beschäftigt. Die Spiele-Division brachte aufbauend auf der Top-Marke Chess-Challenger eine ganze Challenger-Produktlinie mit Checker-Challenger (engl. Dame), Bridge-Challenger, Backgammon-Challenger und Othello-Challenger auf den Markt. Über extensive Werbung in den Medien und eine kluge Patentpolitik verschaffte sich Fidelity für die folgenden Jahre eine Führungsposition im Spielemarkt.

Bei frühen Schachcomputern musste man seinen Zug noch per Tastatur eingeben. Der Fidelity Elite A/S (Abbildung links) konnte jedoch bereits 1983 die Bewegung der Figuren selbst erkennen, wie bei heutigen Schachcomputern (z. B. durch kleine Magnete im Fuß der Figur), die meist die Form eines Schachbretts haben.

Neben der Fidelity Hearing Instruments waren weitere Unternehmenseinheiten von Bedeutung. So versorgte die Fidelity International Sales Corporation den weltweiten Exportmarkt über exklusive Distributoren in den wichtigsten Ländern mit eigenen Servicezentren und Verkaufsorganisationen. Hervorzuheben war das European Headquarters in Frankfurt am Main. Die Fidelity Software Corporation in Nizza nahm 1980 ihren Betrieb auf. Diese Gesellschaft beschäftigte viele hochrangige europäische Programmierer und versorgte hauptsächlich Fidelity Electronics in den USA mit Software für den Weltmarkt. Eine weitere Geschäftseinheit für Softwareentwicklung befand sich in San Diego, Kalifornien.

1989 erkannte der geschäftstüchtige Sidney Samole eine Rezession im Markt für dedizierte Mikroschachcomputer, denen in den billigeren und leistungsfähigen Personalcomputern eine entscheidende Konkurrenz entstanden war. Außerdem wirkte sich der extrem verschlechterte Dollarwechselkurs schädigend auf den wichtigen internationalen Fidelity-Vertrieb aus. So verkaufte er Fidelity Electronics zum Spitzenwert an Hegener & Glaser, die dies in Verkennung der wirklichen Marktlage als "Elefantenhochzeit" und als Sprung an die Weltspitze feierten. Einige Jahre später mussten sie selbst das Feld räumen. Sidneys Sohn Shane, der 1984 bereits Fidelity Canada gegründet hatte, nahm einen Kredit von seinem Vater und startete Excalibur Electronics im Jahre 1992. Sidney Samole starb am 30. Juli 2000.

Figure 1. Leaf litter basket locations.
Carbon and water cycles in a forest ecosystem are highly dependent on the canopy structure and biomass. However there have been few studies that have quantified the dynamic relationship between biomass and atmospheric fluxes from tropical forest ecosystems. As National Forests in the Amazon region are increasingly opened to logging, the lack of information on the relationships between biomass and C cycling complicates our understanding of the potential impacts of these activities. This study measured the temporal dynamics of above-ground litter production in a primary forest, the Tapajos National Forest, before and after a selective harvest of commercial species. Above-ground litter productivity was measured in a 18 ha plot adjacent to the eddy flux tower at km 83, Tapajos National Forest, Para, Brazil. Thirty litter baskets distributed on two transects within the grid were visited bi-weekly. Oven dry mass of leaves, wood, reproductive parts and miscellaneous components of the collected litter was determined. Before the harvest (Sept 2000 through July 2001) mean annual litter production was 4.41 Mg C ha-1 compared to a mean value of 3.96 Mg C ha-1 after logging (Aug 2001- Aug 2002). These data suggest logging caused a reduction in litter productivity of approximately 10%. No further modifications to the data are anticipated.
Litter productivity at the km 83 tower site in the Tapajos National Forest was measured bi-weekly between September 2000 and March 2003 and the mean values for the collections are reported in a single comma-delimited ASCII file: CD04_km83_litter.csv .
2 Day_cum "Days since January 1, 2000"
The data set covers the period 2000/09/01 to 2003/03/10.
Seasonal patterns in litter quantity and composition are essential components of C cycle models. Comparison of pre- and post-harvest data allows for the quantification of the impact of selective harvesting on canopy size and productivity.
Data have been reviewed and no problems found.
A 18 ha plot adjacent to the eddy flux tower at km 83, Tapajos National Forest, was established in September 2000. Thirty litter baskets were located on two E-W transects within the grid. Each litter basket measured 1 m x 1 m and was supported 0.1 m above the ground. Baskets were visited bi-weekly starting in late September 2000 and litter collections followed Newbould (1970). Litter from each basket was air-dried at the LBA laboratory in Santarem, sorted into 4 categories (leaves, wood (< 2 cm diameter), reproductive parts and miscellaneous (material that could not be identified as well as insect bodies and frass). Each sub-sample was then oven dried at 50 degrees Celsius and weighed to determine mass.
Data are available through the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC).

The Godfather wants to get in touch with his feelings. Now!
Don Vito Leoni, the Godfather, is clinically depressed. The world has changed and he hasn't. He'd like to retire, but if he left the "family business" to his two idiot sons, they'd be dead in a minute. So he decides to go legit, which convinces everyone that he must be completely off the deep end. To preserve their cushy lives, his dysfuntional family conspires to get him some psycho-therepy. So his boys kidnap a "piasan" shrink and order him to "fix" their father. This film, which premired on Showtime, pre-dated the very similarly plotted "Analyze This" by over a year.

The first toe-dancing shoes were merely satin slippers, much like today's technique slippers. They had leather soles and some darning on the sides and under, not on, their pointy tips. They fit like kid gloves and were just stiff enough for a tremendously strong dancer like Marie Taglioni to achieve a brief, thrilling balance on pointe. It must have been a lot like dancing barefoot.
Emma Livry's slippers, c.1860
Toe-dancing slippers underwent a significant construction change toward the end of the nineteenth century when Italian ballerinas further reinforced the toes of their shoes, creating the forerunner of the modern toe box. These "blocked" toes enabled the dancer to sustain much longer balances and to turn multiple pirouettes on pointe. The shoes were less supportive than those of today, and still pointy at the tip, but the extra box strength revolutionized ballet technique, and choreography along with it.
Virginia Zucchi, of tutu fame, Pierina Legnani, of fouetté fame, and their compatriots changed ballet forever when they traveled to St. Petersburg with their reinforced shoes. Better shoes, along with their robust Italian technique and their newly developed trick of spotting their turns, gave them an enormous advantage over their less-well-shod Russian rivals. Not to be outdanced, the Russian ballerinas quickly adopted reinforced shoes.
The cobblers of the day obliged their customers as best they could with the materials available to them. There were no durable synthetics or shock-absorbing foam cushions in the 1890s, so shoemakers had to rely on what they had: burlap, leather, paper, canvas, and glue. Anna Pavlova was probably among the first to add a reinforcing leather midsole. (This, supposedly, was part of her secret shoe preparations. She is also said to have danced on shoes with wider platforms, then later to have retouched all her photographs to make the tips appear narrower, preserving the Romantic ideal of dancing on the tiniest point.)
Pavlova's shoes next to retouched images
Over the years pointe shoes have grown heavier and sturdier, and wider at the platform. They have evolved into different shapes and styles, but even today most are still made the old way. It was not until the late twentieth century that synthetic components made from thermoplastic elastomers and urethane foams were successfully introduced into pointe shoe design.
Advances in female ballet technique owe a debt to advances in ballet shoes. Camargo danced better when she removed the heels; Taglioni, by darning her slippers, furthered the ballerina's rise to preeminence; Legnani and Pavlova took female virtuosity further still with reinforced boxes and shanks. These great and resourceful dancers improved their shoes, thereby expanding their vocabularies and pushing the limits of technique. What new possibilities will today's dancers explore with theirs?


The relation of language and mind has interested philosophers for many centuries. 61)The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.
Only recently did linguists begin the serious study of languages that were very different from their own. Two anthropologist-linguists, Franz Boas and Edward Sapir, were pioneers in describing many native languages of North and South America during the first half of the twentieth century. 62)We are obliged to them because some of these languages have since vanished, as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their native languages. Other linguists in the earlier part of this century, however, who were less eager to deal with bizarre data from "exotic" language,were not always so grateful. 63)The newly described languages were often so strikingly different from the well studied languages of Europe and Southeast Asia that some scholars even accused Boas and Sapir of fabricating their data.Native American languages are indeed different, so much so in fact that Navajo could be used by the US military as a code during World War II to send secret messages.
Sapir's pupil, Benjamin Lee Whorf, continued the study of American Indian languages. 64)Being interested in the relationship of language and thought, Whorf developed the idea that the structure of language determines the structure of habitual thought in a society.He reasoned that because it is easier to formulate certain concepts and not others in a given language, the speakers of that language think along one track and not along another. 65)Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind, and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far-reaching consequences for the culture of a society.Later, this idea became to be known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, but this term is somewhat inappropriate. Although both Sapir and Whorf emphasized the diversity of languages, Sapir himself never explicitly supported the notion of linguistic determinism.

Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior
How does thermosensation evolve? As animals adapt from one thermal environment to another, how do their sensory systems evolve? I study this question by investigating TRP channels, a family of ion channels than can function as molecular thermosensors by turning temperature signals into electrical signals. I am combining transcriptomics, bioinformatics, electrophysiology, and behavior studies to answer these questions across integrated levels of organization in both vertebrates and invertebrates.
Notothenioid fishes
Notothenioids are a suborder of fishes that make up the primary fish fauna of the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica and generally stays between -1.9 and +1 degree Celsius all year, and has been this cold for several million years. Molecular thermosensors that function below ~8 degrees C have not been discovered. I am investigating how TRP channels have evolved to sense ecologically relevant temperatures for these fish.
(Left) Harpagifer antarcticus
Texas leaf-cutter ants
The Texas leaf-cutter ant (Atta texana) is the most northerly distributed leaf-cutter ant, but that distribution isn't limited by the ants' own temperature tolerance. Instead, it is limited by the cold sensitivity of the fungus the ants cultivate in gardens within their colonies. These ants have been shown to be behaviorally sensitive to the narrow range in temperatures at which the fungus grows optimally, but what is the molecular basis of this temperature sensitivity, and how has that changed as the Texas leaf-cutters have expanded northward?

Acetylcholine receptor evolution in poison frogs
Following up on Tarvin and colleagues, I am investigating the evolution of acetylcholine receptors within anurans. I am studying nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in basal frogs such as Xenopus tropicalis and Nanorana parkeri to better understand the evolutionary context for the evolution of toxin resistance in poison frogs.

As a scientist, I sometimes feel conflicted about the role of researchers in publicizing their science and engaging with the public. Doing the science is a full time job, and the skills that make someone a good scientist do not entirely overlap with the skills involved in being a good communicator. I recognize, however, that with the current scientific system there is value for both the public and the scientist when communication between these groups increases. Below is a summary of some of my efforts to increase that communication.
Science Under the Stars
I help organize a series of monthly science talks called Science Under the Stars. Events are free, open to the public, and held outdoors at Brackenridge Field Laboratory. The speakers are biology graduate students who share work ranging from bat behavior to tropical tree evolution to flu epidemiology and sustainable gardening. Events also include kids activities, snacks, natural history displays, and tours of the field lab. We are sponsored by the Department of Integrative Biology and the Friends of Brackenridge.
To increase community access to our events, speakers have the chance to give their talks again at local libraries around Austin in a series called Neighborhood Science and also at Long-View Micro School.
Austin Science Advocates
Austin is a great place to get involved in science policy and policymaking, since the capitol is just a few blocks away! Austin Science Advocates is a group of graduate students in the College of Natural Sciences that conduct monthly meetings in which we discuss science policy news, conduct deep dives into particular issues, practice skills related to discussing and debating science policy issues, and host guest speakers. We also have monthly postcard writing sessions where we provide materials to scientists to write to their representatives.
In 2017, we testified for the state board of education while they debated streamlining of the K-12 science curriculum standards in Texas.
MassiveScience
I am a member of the scientific consortium of MassiveScience, a media company that publishes popular science articles written by scientists. Learn more about joining Massive's science consortium here. I was selected to be trained as part of their Climate Cohort in 2017. As part of that training, I've written and published two articles with them:
Alaska's oilfield has been subtly changing the state's environment for decades. Will Congress notice?
Creationism helped push climate skepticism into classrooms
Science Communication Training
A summary of courses or programs in which I've participated to improve my communication skills:
Concentration in science communication at UT Austin, taught by Dr. Anthony Dudo.
Communications Boot Camp for Scientists by the American Institute of Biological Sciences
2018 Congressional Visits Day with AIBS, read more about that experience here
UT Forum speaker
AAAS Classroom Science Days: I spoke to a group of fourth grade science students about geese and why they migrate, more information here
Edward Tufte's Presenting Data and Information Course
If you are a scientist, you know academia is often touted as a meritocracy, but systemically prevents women and other marginalized people from participating due to inherent biases, a lack of representation, and fewer available resources. I am working to combat these inequities with the efforts below. Please contact me if you have questions or concerns about these projects.
Published work and press
Kelly Wallace and I published a paper proposing a systems change framework for evaluating academic equity efforts. The paper was published in the academic practice section of Ecology & Evolution
The Chronicle of Higher Education published an article on some of the work discussed below in 2018
I am currently serving or have served on:
College of Natural Sciences Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee
Department of Integrative Biology Diversity and Inclusivity Committee
UT Austin Sexual Misconduct Working Group
I put together a climate survey to empirically assess the experiences of the Integrative Biology Department community. We conducted the survey in spring 2018, then revised it with assistance from the UT Sociology Department and established it as an annual survey initially in fall 2020. Please feel free to download and use the survey in your own workplace.
Download 2020 Survey
Equity and Inclusion Discussion Group
I initiated the founding of an Equity and Inclusion Discussion Group within the Integrative Biology Department; it was modeled on a similar group in the Astronomy Department. We meet monthly to discuss articles and generate action items related to inclusion in science. It is led by a cross-hierarchical team. If you are associated with the IB Department, you can read the ground rules for the group here and sign up for the listserv here.
We have passed a Graduate Student Bill of Rights for students whose professors are associated with the IB Department
I organized a Bystander Intervention Training with Marian Trattner and BeVocal and Personnel Management training for members of the Integrative Biology Department
I established a Quiet/Lactation room in Patterson Labs (PAT 339)
We re-signed the single stall bathrooms in the department as gender neutral (1st floor PAT, 3rd floor BIO)
I am currently a PhD candidate in the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior graduate program at the University of Texas at Austin. My lab is associated with the Department of Integrative Biology and the Department of Neuroscience. Previously, I received my Master's of Science at the University of British Columbia, where I was co-supervised by Bill Milsom and Doug Altshuler. I was also an undergraduate at the University of British Columbia and worked in the Milsom lab. I grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska, where I used to help my dad trap arctic ground squirrels and catch wood frogs. Now I live in Austin, Texas. I use she/her/hers pronouns.

I love listening to music, but the thing I like the most is listening to covers of songs. As you probably know, I am a huge fan of Youtube and I spend a lot of time on there. I am subscribed to a lot of music themed channels, so I listen to covers basically every single day. Hence why I decided to share my recent favourites with you. The songs are not in any particular order. Prepare yourselves, this is going to be a long post. Here we go.
I have been a subscriber of Leroy's for years, and I literally am in love with all of his covers, let alone orginals. About a month ago he covered the song "Love Myself" by Hailee Steinfeld with Alyson Stoner and I like their version a lot.
A few days ago Gabrielle Aplin covered Sam Smith's "Money On My Mind" (and a bit of "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit) and it made me very emotional. I haven't really listened to her music so far, even though I know she have been around for a long time now. I saw her on Hudson Taylor's channel a few times in the last couple of months, but didn't have the urge to look for more information about what she does. When she did this cover on BBC Radio 1's live lounge, I was truly amazed by her talent.


We all know that even with the best intentions, the sincerest prayers and the most careful planning, that nothing is guaranteed to us. Any of us who have been to the funeral of one or more of our children know that things can happen in this life that bring enormous suffering. Whether you believe the cause to be an act of God, a "soul choice" or just your rotten luck, the suffering is unavoidable and your challenge will be to find a way to live with it.
Whether your losses are related to loved ones, finances or health, no one likes loss and although we are told that there is a great lesson to be learned from suffering, we would all gladly pass on the experience. However, when you open your front door to find loss in any form waiting there to greet you, you have no choice but to face it and all that comes with it.
These things do happen, so I am not talking about finding a way to avoid them. But there is one area where you can create some wiggle room for yourself and that has everything to do with how you meet, greet and treat yourself as you face the day-to-day events of your life.
(If possible purchase a journal or find some paper. To fulfill all the steps in The Inner Ally Program, it will be helpful to have something to write on).
In the midst of a problem, would you say that you are a warm, compassionate ally to yourself, a harsh critic or something in between?
Think back to your responses to yourself when you have been in difficult situations in your life. Write down what comes to mind in terms of the kind of voice and attitude that surfaces in you when you are frightened or upset. Would you describe the inner voice you hear as a friend, a foe or something in between.
This is very important, so take your time. You don't have to show this to anyone, so be honest with yourself because nothing can be changed until it is seen. The first step to making any change in ourselves comes from introspection and insight.

December 24th 2022: Personality-Focused Politics
On today's podcast, Tom discusses the fragility of above-ground power lines, the discouragement of the electoral process, the ever-present homelessness issue in the city accompanied by the high costs of housing and more.


Douglas County authorities are charging several adults they believe could have prevented the DUI wreck that killed 16-year-old Cheyenne Sauls, bringing to seven the number of people facing charges in the wreck.
The Sheriff's Office has taken out warrants against homeowners who threw two Friday night parties that Sauls and her friends attended before the wreck. The teens had easy access to alcohol at both parties, Chief Deputy Stan Copeland said.
Also charged is Rocky Patel, owner of Chapel Hill Package Store in Douglasville. Copeland said the Sheriff's Office has video showing Patel selling alcohol to a minor, who brought it to his house for the second party.
In addition, the Sheriff's Office has charged the 21-year-old passenger who fled the accident scene, Dustin Willis, with furnishing alcohol to minors and vehicular homicide "as a party to the crime," Copeland said.
He was one of five people in a Chevrolet Blazer that overturned on Pleasant Drive early Saturday. The Blazer flipped several times before slamming into a U-Haul truck, killing Sauls and injuring the three other teens, including driver Jason Lark, 17.
Copeland said Sauls and her friends first stopped at a party on Biscayne Way in Douglasville, at the home of Sherman Bennett Sr.
They later visited a bonfire party in Douglasville, at the Sterling Pointe Drive home of Richard McAllister, Copeland said.
McAllister's teenage son, Justin, was the one seen buying alcohol at the package store for the party, Copeland said. Another teen, Travis Platt, also is charged with buying alcohol and bringing it to that party, Copeland said.
"That's the party they left just prior to the accident," Copeland said.
One teen passenger, Jamie McManus, remains in the hospital. The other, Taylor Coss, has been released.
Lark is being held without bond. He is charged with DUI, first-degree vehicular homicide, two counts of serious injury by vehicle, underaged person in possesion of alcohol, driving too fast for conditions, reckless driving and no driver's license on his person.
"Taylor [Coss] is the only one that we can determine had not had anything to drink," Copeland said.
The chief deputy said a number of adults could have acted responsibly, but didn't.
"You've got to be the adult," he said. "Kids are kids but anywhere along this series of events, if these adults had stood up and done what the law compels them to do — ˜You can't drink here, I'm not furnishing you with any alcohol' — chances are it wouldn't have happened.
Funeral services for Sauls, a Villa Rica High School sophomore, will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Midway Macedonia Baptist Church in Villa Rica.
Her father, Eric Sauls, told Channel 2 Action News that the accident should serve as a lesson.

Shipping will be approximately $2-300 within the US and it can also be removed from the wood stretcher and rolled to ship. The buyer can work with a local framer to stretch it again. Shipping in this case would be around $25 and prices to stretch will vary by vendor used to stretch.


News | Will Pout for Cash: Can The Leonardo survive its current funding woes?
Why do you think we're here today?" Salt Lake City Councilman J. T. Martin asked The Leonardo's newly minted executive director Peter Giles at the Aug. 19 work session on the would-be science and culture museum's financial future.
The person who arguably should have answered the question was Giles' predecessor, Mary Tull, who sat near the back of the third-floor council chambers in the City & County Building. Certainly it was her regime that was under attack from council members for a lack of leadership and financial viability—and, most bruising of all, for "five years of unreliable information," as Council Chair Jill Remington-Love put it. "It's an issue of trust," she added.
"Will Smile for Cash." The project's problems date back to a 2003 voter-approved $10.2 million bond to renovate the former city library building downtown. Release of that bond was tied to the museum raising a matching $10.2 million. Come 2006, the city's budget director Gordon Hoskins signed off on the museum successfully raising the required funds. But the city has yet to release the bond money, something Leonardo supporters including ex-Mayor Rocky Anderson say the city is legally obligated to do. Concerns, however, about $3.4 million of the $10.2 million the museum claimed to have raised in 2005 resulted in an audit this past May. The audit revealed that $3.4 million was missing from the 2005 matching funds. It had been covered by what Remington-Love called "a bridging loan"—essentially a promise by an anonymous donor to cough up nearly all the money in September 2009 if the museum hadn't by then raised the necessary funds.
While The Leonardo told the council it has back-filled that $3.4 million guarantee with new funds, fund-raising problems have nevertheless dogged the project since 2006. Partly this seems because Tull, who refused to be interviewed for this story, put most of her fund-raising eggs into one basket—The Sorenson Legacy Foundation. "They went to Sorenson and were talking $10 million for the building, $10 million for operations," Hoskins recalls. "It fell apart." That didn't deter Tull from returning to the foundation, according to press reports, to hit them up for a more conservative $5 million-$8 million. Again, she got shown the door.
The end result of The Leonardo's fund-raising efforts as of April 2008, according to City Council information, was $21.3 million, of which nearly $14 million was the bond and city funds. That left $7.8 million of mostly private money, of which $4.6 million of donations has been spent.
A large chunk of The Leonardo's costs has been its lengthy list of expensive consultants. One is Oakland, Calif.-based Gyroscope, which billed more than $700,000 to develop programming and exhibits for the museum.
During his City Council grilling, Giles brandished a large blue book produced by Gyroscope to demonstrate The Leonardo's substance. However, what he didn't say was how much of the at least year-old exhibit blueprints were relevant in the new scaled-down proposals The Leonardo made public on Aug. 12.
Days later, Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker stated he was willing to allow other organizations to apply for space in the former library building on 500 South and 200 East. That's a position Becker has since stepped back from.
Management salaries haven't helped costs, either. The nonprofit's June 2007 tax return shows Tull was paid $92,236 while business manager Philippe Wyffels earned $85,600, compared to his previous year earnings of $48,333. Compensation for the three top slots totaled $231,989. Total revenues, in comparison were just $225,596. Little wonder with total expenses of $1.2 million, by June 2007, net assets shrunk by almost a million to $2.8 million.
Exodus photographic exhibition on immigration, however, produced little hard cash. And, with so much negative press, The Leonardo's fund-raising capabilities, Giles told the council, could well be jeopardized.
What The Leonardo will become also haunts the project. The Center for Documentary Arts [CDA] still, after six years, has yet to sign an affiliation agreement with The Leonardo. CDA founder Les Kelen says the jury's still out on partner organization Utah Science Center's six-month-old merger with The Leonardo. "We're looking still to see what will happen there," he says. Whether the museum dedicated to the integration of the arts and sciences ends up being driven by The Leonardo management or by the competing needs of its partner organizations has not been resolved.
Meanwhile, the monthly costs of The Leonardo—$63,700 according to the city audit—eat away at whatever unrestricted cash is at hand. Giles told the council it was $550,000, but the city audit showed $112,865. The city audit's numbers suggest The Leonardo has only two months of solvency. Whether Tull will continue at full salary is unknown.
With the mayor's office and the City Council setting no immediate deadline for completing their analysis of The Leonardo's new phased development proposal, the museum teeters on the brink of either extinction or re-birth. Everything, it seems, depends on the fate of the bond money.

Inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women issues final report with sweeping calls for change | CBC News
Home/Inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women issues final report with sweeping calls for change | CBC News
News/Politicscalls CBC change final Indigenous inquiry issues missing murdered News report sweeping women
After more than three years, dozens of community meetings and testimony from well over 2,000 Canadians, the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls inquiry will deliver its final report to the federal government at a ceremony in Gatineau, Que. today.
The report, which CBC News obtained before its official release, includes many recommendations to government, the police and the larger Canadian public to help address endemic levels of violence directed at Indigenous women and girls and 2SLGBTQQIA (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual) people.
CBCNews.ca will carry the closing ceremonies live starting at 9 a.m. ET.
Beyond defining the level of violence against these women as a "Canadian genocide," recommending official language status for Indigenous languages and a guaranteed income for all Indigenous peoples, the commissioners are also recommending sweeping reforms to the justice system and policing in this country, including stiffer penalties for men who carry out spousal or partner abuse.
"We call upon the federal government to include cases where there is a pattern of intimate partner violence and abuse as murder in the first degree under section 222 of the Criminal Code," the report reads.
First-degree murder is the most serious of all the homicide offences. If convicted, offenders usually spend longer in prison, with fewer chances for parole.
The inquiry said that, too often, murder investigations are "marked by indifference" and negative stereotypes that result in Indigenous deaths and disappearances being investigated and treated differently from other cases — differences that result in fewer solved cases.
And when there is a reasonable chance of a conviction, the inquiry said, Crown attorneys too often are willing to accept plea bargains or reduced charges in exchange for guilty pleas in cases of murdered Indigenous women.
To that end, the inquiry calls for more "Indigenous-specific options" for sentencing, without specifying what exactly the government should change on that front. It called for a strengthening of Gladue principles in Canadian courts, a legal term that stipulates an offender's Indigenous ancestry should be considered in the sentencing process.
"While the prosecutorial decisions … may well be justified, the frequency with which this occurs understandably raises questions in the Indigenous community, particularly when the sentences on conviction escape the mandatory parole ineligibility of 10 or 25 years on the more serious charges."
To ensure more equitable outcomes, the inquiry said, more Indigenous judges, justices of the peace and police should be hired to ensure Indigenous voices are in positions of power in the criminal justice system. Failing that, the report said a separate court system for the Indigenous population should be established to lead to more "meaningful and culturally appropriate justice practices …"
Far too many murder cases aren't solved and don't make it to trial at all, the inquiry said — and that means the federal funds ought to be bolstering the ranks of Indigenous police forces across the country to ensure better investigations.
"We call upon all governments to immediately and dramatically transform Indigenous policing from its current state as a mere delegation to an exercise in self-governance and self-determination over policing," the report reads.
"The federal government's First Nations Policing Program must be replaced with a new legislative and funding framework, consistent with international and domestic policing best practices and standards, that must be developed by the federal, provincial, and territorial governments in partnership with Indigenous Peoples."
The report also calls on provincial and territorial governments to improve the restraining order system by making them "available, accessible, promptly issued and effectively serviced and resourced" — to help Indigenous women stay out of harm's way when faced with a violent partner.
Beyond facilitating access to restraining orders (or "protection orders," as they're often known in Canada) the inquiry is calling on the government to offer guaranteed access to financial support, legislated paid leave and disability benefits and "appropriate trauma care" to Indigenous victims of crime or other traumatic events.
Indigenous and Northern Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett would not comment on the report's recommendations ahead of their official release.
"Out of respect for the independent National Inquiry and the families, we won't comment on the details of the final report before then. After decades of demanding a national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, families are finally getting the answers they have been looking for," a spokesperson for the minister said.
In an interview with CBC News before the news organization obtained a leaked copy of the report, Bennett said the government accepts that the status quo isn't keeping Indigenous women and girls safe.
She said, however, that the government already has moved ahead with meaningful reforms, including its overhaul of the child and family services regime and a de-colonizing push for greater self-government for Indigenous peoples, part of a larger fight for equality.
"The inquiry is really only a beginning. We've got to do the work, and we've got to change attitudes, and we've got to increase the safety of Indigenous women and girls wherever they are in this country," Bennett said.
"Indigenous women and girls need to be safe wherever they live in this country — whether it's in their home communities or a downtown urban centre. That's the only way we'll stop this national tragedy."

This summer I spent an entire month studying doumbek with Raquy Danziger, it was very a transformative experience. Raquy used to live in New York, but now lives in Istanbul where she can study split hand technique, and then she comes back to NY several times a year to teach. Study at the retreat focuses on learning Raquy's compositions, but we also work on technique, clarity, timing, and speed.
Raquy structures the retreat around her normal study practices, starting each day with meditation in the morning, having group classes to work on a piece or technique a couple times a day, vegetarian meals throughout the day, and yoga in the evening. In between times are used for personal practice or practice with other students to work on sections of the compositions. During the evenings there are usually jams, or additional study, but there is also time to take a break go on a nature walk, enjoy the fireflies, play badmitten or ping pong, and enjoy the experience.
Those of us there for the month all learned two pieces, "Shame on You" by Raquy and "Drum Line" by Leron Peled. Both pieces have their own challenges and are quite intricate. The pieces really push you to learn new techniques and polish your playing style, as you want to really learn the pieces well and perform them each weekend. We also learned backing drums for "Dance of the Witches" which is a track on Raquy's forthcoming album, and a piece played by an amazing Oud player named Hiagg Minutian (sp?). And we had jams throughout the month with amazing musicians like Carmine Guida, and we also had an great workshop with Glenn Velez who is incredible on the frame drum and other percussion. I can't really speak highly enough about this event, it was very worth while if you are serious about doumbek and interested in split hand technique at any level.

What is Group Therapy?
Human beings are social beings: we grow up in family groups, live and work in groups. Therefore, when these groups fail us, we can get into difficulty. As a result, group work has been found to be a dynamic and effective form of therapy that enables us to make changes in our lives within a supportive context.
Group therapy is particularly helpful for people whose difficulties are rooted in past or present relationships, or shared events, inside or outside the family. Through working together, with the therapist, it offers group members an opportunity to understand themselves and to experience new ways of relating and of being in the world.
People have found group therapy helpful in dealing with issues around:
Our groups meet weekly for an hour-and-a-half, with up to eight people in each group plus the therapist. It takes a little while to feel safe in a group, but once you do you can experience enormous relief at being able to talk quite freely with people you have got to know well and trust. With guidance from the therapist, a group can be enormously helpful.
What former group members have said:
"The Centre is excellent."
"A very safe environment."
"I couldn't have done without it"
"I'm much happier now, and very grateful to you."
"I was angry, depressed. negative. Now it all seems to be a thing of the past."

R710 Ext 12vdc input range.
DC Input voltage range? We are in the film industry and our 12vdc batteries typically are 14.5 vdc when fully charged. We would like to power the R710 from these batteries. Can we get a response from Ruckus on DC input range allowed?
Doing what you want to do will be no problem. The equipment will handle the slightly higher voltage with no trouble. Make sure the polarity is connected correctly.


Top Law Schools • What business jobs recruit from HLS?
What business jobs recruit from HLS?
These forums always say that law schools aren't versatile unless you go to HYS (specifically HLS for business) so I was wondering what companies recruits from HLS? I know Mckinsey does, do the other consulting firms also? How about PE firms, banks, or VC's?
Re: What business jobs recruit from HLS?
Sorry to threadjack, but I'd appreciate responses from people about schools other than HLS as well.
hellohi wrote: These forums always say that law schools aren't versatile unless you go to HYS (specifically HLS for business) so I was wondering what companies recruits from HLS? I know Mckinsey does, do the other consulting firms also? How about PE firms, banks, or VC's?
Even a HYS degree isn't versatile. Do not go to HLS if you want to work at McKinsey.
First, I should warn you that I don't know anything about non-law jobs, this is just my best guess based on my experiences at HLS (including my conversations with a couple of classmates who are interested in non-law jobs).
There are a few consulting firms and banks that recruit for non-legal positions on campus. I don't think I've noticed any VC firms (although I've never looked). The issue isn't so much whether they recruit here, since you can easily apply for whatever you want (especially if they're in Boston or relatively close, meaning NYC). The issue is that they aren't looking for random law students who suddenly show up to interview with them. They're looking for law students who have full time work experience in the finance or management consulting industries with a coherent story about how attending law school fits into their career plans. If you don't have that kind of background, the best you can do is to dual enroll in lots of classes at the business school, join the business law journal, network through the business-related clubs, do non-law summer internships, etc., and hope that one of those employers is willing to give you shot.
McKinsey and BCG have participated in EIP with law firms in the past 3 years and I know 4 people who are going to McKinsey next year. Their interview process is pretty streamlined and they hire JDs at the same level as MBAs. UBS and Goldman came for SIP last year but I don't know if they are coming this year. Other hedge fund/finance jobs are often posted on OCS website and I know several people in class of 2013 who have gone that route.
However at least for consulting if a firm doesn't come to campus, you will be left to your connections to get an interview. Namely Bain has been notoriously hard to get an interview with.
As to what the user above me said about work experience, it is true about certain bank/VC jobs. Consulting firms don't seem to care about it. Also, you are allowed to cross-register for up to 20 units at other schools, including HBS. Taking HBS classes as well as finance-related classes at HLS can make you a more viable candidate for jobs where prior knowledge of finance is important.
I didn't say it wasn't possible to get a non-law job out of HLS. I said don't do go to HLS if you want to work at McKinsey. It's a bad gamble.
Thanks for the responses, for a little background I currently work at a management consulting firm and recently got accepted into HLS, so I do have some background in business. I am curious if a law degree would help a career in business or if I would have to make a total career switch (which makes it a whole different decision for me).
I know the general consensus is to not go to law school if you don't want to be a lawyer but as of now I have no idea what a lawyer does, so having business options open in case I end up not liking law could sway me towards law school. The reason I asked who recruited from there is that I assumed they are more open to law students.
Wait, is this thread about getting offers for legal work at McK/others out of HLS? Or getting management consulting offers out of HLS?

I'm the first Anon from above. There is no good reason for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars (tuition + lost salary) on law school unless you really want to be a lawyer. Why do you want to go back to school? And why not B-school instead of law, especially since you already have a consulting job that will look good on your applications? The vast majority of what you do in law school is useless for being a lawyer, so I can't even imagine how big of a waste it is for other careers.
Thanks for responding. I know the opportunity costs and will definitely take that into account when making my decision. But I also wanna get as much information as I can on the other half of the equation, what the options are if I do go to law school. So for right now I'm trying to find that out and then see whether or not it is worth the costs. Also, I have not ruled out being a lawyer but as many of you also know, its very hard to know if you'll like studying/practicing law without going to law school. So, I'm really just trying to gather all the data I can (I guess I've been a consultant for too long haha) before I decide.
Yes and I don't think it's a bad gamble. MBB don't recruit at every school and have a pretty short list of target schools. Also, at least for McKinsey and BCG, the JD interview process is identical to MBA/non-JD process. So for someone who doesn't have the option of going to an MBB target business school, HLS could be the next best alternative.
That said, if the OP is purely focused on business side jobs and has the option to go to a top business school, that would be a better option than HLS. Below a certain ranking bschool, HLS becomes the better choice. I don't have a list of target bschools but top 10-15 is commonly believed to be the line.
You don't even look at the gamble part of it, though. So if someone doesn't secure one of those business jobs, they either drop out after paying 50k+ or get a degree in something they don't apparently have interest in doing it. It might be the next best alternative, but that doesn't mean it's not a bad gamble.

True, but OP already has a consulting job (possibly at MBB), plus good enough grades/test scores to get into HLS. (S)he will be able to get into a good B-school after a couple of years of work experience. Leaving consulting to get an irrelevant degree and then going back to consulting in 3 years with a metric ton of debt at 7% interest wouldn't make sense. It's probably best to find out what being a lawyer is like first, maybe by finding a way to work with the lawyers at the consulting firm, or being on staff at a law firm or legal non-profit or something.
Does anyone have the HLS EIP spreadsheet with bids/interviews/offers information? Or can remind me where on HLS's website it is.
If someone's preferences are C > B > A, then it is not really a gamble. Of course if C > B they should go to business school if they are able to but it might be out of the cards. b-school admissions are not numbers based so for someone with unprestigious employers/undergrad/etc it can be an uphill battle to get admitted to a top b-school.
but if they can't get into b-school, then it strikes me as perfectly rational to go to HLS for a C>B>A situation. If A is greater than B, it would be a terrible decision and as you characterized it, a gamble.
I suppose. But can anyone pull that EIP data?
ph14 wrote: I suppose. But can anyone pull that EIP data?
I have seen it but can't find it now. IIRC for 2011 McKinsey had 30-40 interview and made 3 offers for 2L summer but none for FT. This year I know of 3 full time (3L EIP) offers but don't know about 2L summers.
Yeah that sounds right. Their offer rate at HLS is actually much higher than their overall offer rate, which is pretty close to 1-2%.
Make friends with HBS people who may end up at Bain, or start networking/see if you know anyone currently at Bain. They have a program where employees can refer friends/people which lands you an interview (your friend gets a bonus too if you get hired).
I don't think that I've ever met anyone in the situation you're describing. If you can get into HLS, you can get a job that will look good on your HBS app 3 years from now. I certainly can't think of anyone whose preferences are so strong that it's worth spending $150,000 of tuition and 3 years of their life on law school.
So I understand the opportunity cost (tuition is significantly lower for me so the main cost is the lack of salary for 3 years, I don't want to get into why tuition is lower) and I know that its not a good a idea to go to HLS just to work in business especially since I think I can get into an M7 B school. However I would still like to know who recruits from HLS. Does anyone have info about this? I feel like every thread about this including this one devolves into a discussion about why you should not go to Law school to get a business job, but I can't find anyone who actually knows the answers.

You can get a JD/MBA in 4 years at Harvard and in 3 years at Yale, Columbia, Northwestern or Penn. Since tuition isn't a major concern, I would seriously consider the JD/MBA. The fact that you can obtain the degrees in 3 years at a number of great schools opens up a ton of possibilities for those who are unsure about where they want to be or think a JD would be "helpful" for their future business objectives.


I'm back to cutting wood hand to mouth. It's ok though. I had enough cut and split to get through January and February. Next year I plan on having more than enough for the entire wood-burning season by December 1st.
After using the outdoor wood burner for two seasons, I wouldn't recommend one for most people. It isn't as simple as chucking in wood and forgetting about it. It takes some fiddling, and it's always asking for more wood.
Pictured is my tractor. I bought it last autumn. It's a 1981 Deutz 7807. It has 78 horsepower, which is just enough for grinding feed, the most demanding horsepower job on my farm. I bought it from a dealer who sold it new. It has 4500 hours on it and I paid $8500 for it. I like it so far.

That's a good looking tractor.
And I learned what an outdoor wood burner is.
Forgive a city-slicker question: How does a tractor grind feed?
Yes, I presume too much. The tractor is hitched to the feed grinder and gives its power via the PTO or power take off.
Thanks for the compliment on the tractor.

When your old furnace has reached the end of it's effective lifespan that could be an excellent opportunity to not just replace it with a new furnace but to consider a conversion to geothermal. Many people will simply buy a new version of their old furnace expecting to make incremental gains by buying a high-efficiency version of their older furnace. While this replacement will reduce operating costs and will incrementally reduce your fuel consumption, it will cost thousands of dollars to complete the work. By comparison, the conversion to a new geothermal system, while more expensive initially, can reduce your heating costs by as much as 60 to 70%. No new high-efficiency furnace can do that for your family budget.
When you consider the cost of a new furnace or air conditioner into the overall investment cost of upgrading to geothermal, it effectively reduces the cost of the conversion. Before you simply replace an old furnace, consider making the switch to geothermal.

In the Fall 2017 semester, I met with the various stakeholders in the effort to preserve and interpret the King Records buildings. They asked me to help with the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the King Records buildings in the Evanston neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio, which they plan to submit as soon as the buildings' ownership changes. The draft of the historic narrative I wrote is here.
In April 2018, the City of Cincinnati and Dynamic Industries agreed to a land swap deal whereby the city will obtain control of the King Records Buildings.
Great work to save this site from the wrecking ball by the Cincinnati USA Music Heritage Foundation, the Bootsy Collins Foundation, the Cincinnati Preservation Association, the citizens of the Evanston neighborhood, and the current City of Cincinnati government.
