Your childhood dreams may have been crushed, but NASA has offered hope that they could yet be fulfilled.
According to a new report discovered by Space.com, the space agency may soon need more astronauts — and you could be one of them. Possibly.
The report reveals that NASA's astronaut corps has shrunk from nearly 150 people to just 44. As the agency prepares to send humans to the Moon and Mars, officials are concerned that this cadre is too small.
These concerns have been bubbling for some time. In March 2020, NASA announced that it needed new explorers to cover its expanding range of missions.

— NASA (@NASA) March 29, 2020
The space agency is yet to launch its next recruitment drive, but it's only a matter of time before the job ads are posted.
I'm already dusting off my resume and rewatching Armaggedon in preparation for my interview. I've also been forensically analyzing NASA's astronaut requirements to give you a chance of joining me.
A changing role
NASA's job requirements have been changed drastically since the first astronauts were recruited in 1959.
That could be to your advantage. Many of today's space cadets wouldn't have stood a chance back then.
All seven of the original candidates were military test pilots, a requirement President Eisenhower introduced to simplify the selection process.

The applicants needed a minimum of 1,500 hours flying time and a bachelor's degree or equivalent. They also had to be under 40-years-old, in excellent physical condition, and shorter than 5-foot-11.
This left a pool of just 108 men from the Air Force, Navy, and Marines. A range of examinations then whittled that down to a final seven.
Today's recruits have been spared some of these demands. But they also have to fulfill some new ones.
The 2021 recruits — the first new class in four years — had to be US citizens.
If, like me, you're a dirty foreigner, you could have taken various paths to citizenship. This being America, the quickest route was becoming filthy rich.
The candidates also needed a master's degree in a STEM-related field or one of the following:
Two years of work toward a doctoral program in a related science, technology, engineering, or math field
A completed Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree
Completion (or enrollment that would result in completion by June 2021) of a nationally recognized test pilot school program
Flying experience, however, was no longer essential. The program required either two years of relevant professional experience or 1,000 hours of flight time in command of a jet aircraft.

There was also no longer an age or height limit, but the finalists had to pass a rigorous physical.
This included testing for 20/20 vision and measurements for the spacecraft and spacesuit. Applicants also had to be free of medical conditions that could cause issues in spaceflight.
It's a long list of requirements, but NASA plans to broaden the pool of future talent.
The class of 2021 was chosen from a field of more than 12,000 applicants.
The 10 recruits range in age from 32 to 45. Every candidate possesses enviable academic qualifications, although all of them are stereotypical space nerds.
While the crop includes Air Force majors and NASA aerospace engineers, some of them are merely brilliant scientists.
I'm hoping NASA drops the entry standards for the next class. With crewed missions to Mars on the horizon, space wars brewing, and Elon Musk planning to make us an interplanetary species, there's never been a better time to become an astronaut.
I look forward to toasting our future trips through space. The first glass of recycled urine is on me.

As we look around our homes we can see the conveniences technology has brought us. Today's technology has made it possible to do things we would never have dreamed of. Technology has affected every part of our lives; whether it improved our transportation or gave us new medical treatment that improve our lives. Behind these inventions were men and women that saw a need for change.
We want to focus on the achievements of Frederick McKinley Jones. He was born on May 17, 1893 in Cincinnati were he grew up in an orphanage. He attended school up to the 8th grade. As a child he had a love for automobiles. His first job was at the age of 12 were he worked cleaning an auto garage. He spent a few years working on cars and racing them. He developed an interest in gasoline engines and complexe machinery which he kept for the rest of his life. During WWI he enlisted in the U.S. Army as an electrician and a mechanic. After serving in the military he retuned home where he continued his work as an inventor.
It is a little known black history fact that Mr. Jones was credited with inventing a cooling unit for the compartments of trucks. His invention made it possible to transport fresh produces. It is also a little known black history fact that he invented cooling units for the boxcars of rail transportation. During WWII he invented a portable air conditioner to preserve medicine and blood serum. He also invented air condition units two use in automobiles. Mr. Jones was awarded 61 patents in his life time. Forty of his inventions were for refrigeration equipment. He received an award and was the first African American inducted into the American National Medal of Technology.

Social media in hiring: Ten top tips
Maggie Williams, August 16, 2019
If you think recruiting through social media means putting up the odd tweet or two then you are doomed to failure
Social media has revolutionised talent management, enabling businesses to find, engage and hire staff in ways that would have been unimaginable even five years ago.
LinkedIn alone boasts 260 million active users per month. According to its own statistics, 87% of those are open to new opportunities, even if they are not actively seeking a change of job role.
That diversity of resources should be music to the ears of UK talent managers. In its 2017 Resourcing and Talent Management report, the CIPD found that 61% of UK businesses anticipate difficulty in recruiting senior staff or filling vacancies requiring technical skills over the next three years.
Using social media is about more than tweeting job adverts, however. With the right planning it can deliver long-term benefits for talent managers, from understanding how a company's brand attracts the best candidates through to cultivating talent pools for future recruitment.
Here are 10 tips to help:
1. Balance 'push and pull'
"The whole point of using social media is the opportunity for a conversation," says Chris Andrew, director at HR communication specialist Caburn Hope. "It facilitates a two-way discussion, so prospective candidates feel they have a relationship with a business even before they decide to apply."
"Authenticity is a key value," advises Ryan Broad, talent director of JustEat. "You need to be yourself, but also listen and respond to what people really want to know."
3. Let employees share their own experiences
"Technology companies are trailblazers in this respect," says Gillian Pillans, research director at the Corporate Research Forum. "Cisco puts a different employee in charge of its Snapchat account every day, for example. It relies on its corporate culture to filter and police the content, so you are getting authentic employee voices and experiences."
4. Target key groups
"Social media is a great chance to reach out to potential talent," says JustEat's Broad. "You can identify who is outstanding in particular disciplines, such as tech. And it's an opportunity for helping with gender diversity, for example."
Some organisations have taken this one step further and build talent pools of prospective candidates who may not even be looking for a move at present.
5. Remember your business is being assessed too
"Make sure your business looks approachable and worth talking to," advises Katrina Collier of The Searchologist. She adds: "Don't forget the basics – if you have an issue with company reputation, make sure that's resolved or addressed."
6. Prioritise what your audience wants to know
"We find everybody wants to see evidence of what it's like to work for us," says JustEat's Broad. "They want to know, for example, 'how will I be developed?'." This can also help candidates to decide for themselves if a business is offering what they want. "You need to be able to bring your offering to life," adds Andrew Hyland, recruitment and resourcing manager
at Macmillan Cancer Support. "Can you use your people as ambassadors to show more about the role?"
7. Monitor feedback
"Social media generally magnifies your brand," says Hyland. "That applies to both positives and negatives. We always make sure that we have right of reply to any comments on Glassdoor, for example."
8. Go where your target audience goes
"It's crucial to understand what kind of people you are looking for and their skills, interests and desires. Connected with that will be an understanding of where your audience goes to absorb information that's relevant and of interest to them," says Caburn Hope's Andrew.
9. Become a channel expert
"Don't be half-hearted," says Pillans. "Understand what you'll use each channel for, become an expert at how to use it to best effect and post regularly."
10. Treat people with respect
"The companies that succeed really make an effort," says Collier. "Take a genuine interest. Find out about the person you're communicating with, and follow up on conversations. It's easy to hide behind technology, and recruiter or candidate ghosting [where the person you've been communicating with simply disappears] is on the rise. The companies that succeed are respectful and responsive."

Research opportunity beckons
The Trust has been advised of a unique opportunity for a post-graduate researcher to look at the contribution of personnel of colour within the Royal Air Force in Scotland during the two world wars.
Applications are invited for a funded joint PhD with the University of Edinburgh and National Museums Scotland under the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)'s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership Scheme.
The project is described as the first sustained attempt to recover and reconstruct the topic and aims to "demonstrate the diversity of people connected to flying in Scotland in the two world wars, understand the contributions made and experiences of those individuals and evidence this through material culture and archival research".
It will include a re-examination of Scottish aviation collections to consider how such stories are, or could be, represented in museum collections and displays.
The project's supervision team will be led by Dr Wendy Ugolini, Senior Lecturer, School of History, Classics & Archaeology, University of Edinburgh and Dr Meredith Greiling, Principal Curator, Technology, National Museums Scotland.

Reader Question: "What company makes a good lip stain," asked Kathy.
Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain — I have multiple shades of this balmy stain. It goes on feeling like a chapstick, but leaves your lips tinted long after the glossy feel fades. And with 10 shades to choose from, you're sure to find one you like.
Pixie Lip Blush — Of all of the marker-style stains I've tried, this is the least drying. I still prefer to top it with a clear chapstick, but it's not essential, especially if your lips aren't already parched.
Wet n Wild Mega Slicks Lip Balm Stain — Like the Revlon version, this balm stain goes on like a moisturizing lipstick, but stays on like a tint long after the top layer wears off. The difference? This stain lasts a bit longer, and when you initially apply it, it gives you a bit of a cooling effect. One thing to be aware of: the initial color fades into one that's slightly different. Not in a bad way, but just something to prepare yourself for.


As this season's spring sowing season approaches, Fury spring bean is at the top of the list for many pulse growers. It is the fully PGRO-recommended pale hilum spring bean that yields higher than current varieties with better downy mildew resistance and good standing ability.
The same positive views come from end users – Fury has already produced good samples that meet the quality standards for the human consumption export market as it is a pale hilum, pale-skinned bean.
Andy Bury, Pulses and Bean Trader with Frontier Agriculture, confirms that their buyer in Egypt is very pleased with the sample quantity of Fury beans and would like a consistent supply for the coming season. This opinion is reinforced by Ian Skinn, pulses trader with Gleadell Agriculture, who notes that Fury is comparable with other varieties available, and that end consumers would put Fury on the same footing as Fuego.
Theo Labuda adds: "Fury has a yield advantage over Fuego in official trials and we see this advantage confirmed – and exceeded – in commercial crops.

Expression As An Filler Injection? FDA Warning & Company Recall.
Enhancement Medical recieved a warning letter from the FDA that takes them to task for allowing their product to be used as a "filler injection" which, according to the FDA, it was never approved for. In response, Enhancement Medical has recalled all lots of Expression.
Photo: Wikipedia"The FDA has become aware of adverse events associated with the unapproved use of the Expression product as a dermal filler," reads the warning. "The FDA has not approved this product for use as a dermal filler and recommends that health care providers stop using Expression by Enhancement Medical LLC as a subcutaneously administered substance."
Manufactured by Enhancement Medical, Expression was approved by the FDA in 2012 as an intra-nasal splint to be used after nasal surgery. According to Enhancement Medical, it's a "third-generation hyaluronic acid gel" that's sulfite- and pathogen-free.
Unlike Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, and other commonly used hyaluronic acid products, which are FDA-approved for cosmetic use, Expression is being used off-label. (Off-label use is common and not illegal. Botox was used for years off-label to treat wrinkles, migranes and sweating for which it had not yet been approved.) Nevertheless, in the past couple of years Expression has come into wider use by doctors and cosmetic clinics. The number of growing treatments has resulted in a correstponding increase in complaints.
In Feburary 2014 the FDA first contacted Enhancement Medical regarding complaints of adverse reactions and in June sent them a warning letter criticizing them for what the FDA perceived as inadiquate follow-up and investigation as well as using the term "filler injection" in the copy on their web site.
The FDA says that there are adverse events associated with the unapproved use of the Expression product, hyaluronic acid that is packaged in a syringe, as a dermal filler. Events have included swelling, tenderness, firmness, lumps, bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, itching, and the development of hard nodules.
Expression is listed with the FDA as an intranasal splint, and is intended to minimize bleeding and swelling and to prevent adhesions (sticking together) between the septum and the nasal cavity. Intranasal splints are placed in the nasal cavity after surgery or trauma and are usually constructed from plastic, silicone, or absorbent material.
The FDA issued a warning letter to Enhancement Medical LLC on June 4, 2014, advising the company of multiple quality system, correction/removal, and medical device reporting violations that were revealed during an inspection.From the FDA letter:
FDA also reviewed your firm's medical device registration and listing, which lists the Expression as a Class I exempt intranasal splint. Generic devices classified under 21 CFR 874.4780 (Intranasal Splint, Class I) are intended to minimize bleeding and edema and to prevent adhesions between the septum and the nasal cavity. Intranasal splints are placed in the nasal cavity after surgery or trauma.
We note, however, that FDA is aware of and has reviewed multiple documents for Expression that contain claims, phrases and/or statements that refer to your firm's device as an "injectable filler."
For example, during FDA's recent inspection, your firm provided the Investigator with a document entitled "The Science Behind Expression" which contained the following statements:
"Enhancement Medical is using the new pathogen-free, raw HA material to develop and manufacture Expression™ injectable filler in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin."
"Enhancement Medical uses the raw HA product from Novozymes as a non-toxic and non-pathogen delivery medium for its Expression™ injectable filler."
"In formulating Expression™, the HA molecules are cross-linked with divinyl sulfone (DVS) and the gel is swelled to equilibrium. This provides the Expression injectable filler product with an 80/20 gel to fluid ration with up to 26 mg/mL of HA. Thus the formulation combined with the highly robust HA molecules result[s] in a very rich and potent filler compared to others."
"Clinicians find Expression™ does not have the hydrophilic effect when placed into tissue, eliminating guesswork from corrections and providing greater utility for multi-purpose use."
As stated above, under 21 CFR 874.4780, intranasal splints are placed into the nasal cavity after surgery or trauma. Intranasal splints are not intended for injection through intact skin or mucosa and placement into tissue. Injection through intact skin or mucosa and placement into tissue may raise new questions of safety and effectiveness that could require either premarket approval and/or clearance before the device may be marketed in the United States. Please provide us with the basis for your identifying Expression as an "injectable filler" and whether you intend to continue making such claims. See 21 CFR 874.9(a) (limitations on exemption – promoting your device as an injectable filler may indicate a different use which could cause it to no longer be 510(k) exempt).
Additionally, FDA has noted that your firm's website (www.enhancementmedical.com) contains the following statement for the Expression injectable filler: "Expression has FDA indication for use as intranasal splint." Please be advised that this statement may be confusing to users and could create an impression of official approval of your device. As such, we request that your firm please remove any reference that FDA has indicated your device, Expression, for a specific use.
The response from Enhancement has been to recall all lots of Expression.
According to the recall letter the company received 99 complaints from 14,835 syringes shipped with compaints that included "swelling, redness, pain, bumps, firmness, bruising, itching, inflammatory reactions, infections and abscesses".
The letter continues, "We do not recommend that Expression be injected subcu-taneously for any reason because Expression's safety and effectiveness as a subcutaneously administered substance has not been established in controlled clinical studies."
What's interesting here is that the list of complaints are pretty much exactly what you'd expect with any filler like Juvederm or Restylane. I'm wasn't able to find anything online that would call out Expression as having reactions that are abnormally high (althought they might be). If anyone has relevant stats please leave a comment below.
In any event, you'll want to send back your recalled Expression if you've been using it.

Lucius Caesonius Lucillus Macer Rufinianus ( 195 –  255) est un homme politique et sénateur romain. Il suit son , le parcours politique des classes supérieurs romaines, sous les règnes des empereurs de la dynasite des Sévères, atteignant le consulat entre 225 et 229 sous Alexandre Sévère. Respecté par ses pairs, il est l'un des sénateurs qui, réunis en groupe de vingt, prennent le pouvoir après la mort soudaine de Gordien , soutenu par le Sénat contre Maximin  le Thrace, pendant l'anarchie militaire.

Biographie
Caesonius Lucillus, fils de Gaius Caesonius Macer Rufinianus, est membre de la  du , élevée au rang patricien pendant sa carrière politique. Il commence sa carrière probablement au début du règne de Caracalla, où il est membre des , en tant que . Candidat impérial pour l'office de questeur probablement vers la fin du règne de Caracalla ( 215/217), il est ensuite nommé préteur, probablement sous Héliogabale vers 220-222. La trajectoire de sa carrière, de questeur à préteur en tant que candidat impérial, est classique pour un patricien suivant le  au .

Suivant les pas de son père, Caesonius Lucillus est nommé curateur de plusieurs villes italiennes : après sa magistrature de préteur, il est  en Campanie ; puis curateur à Puteoli (aussi en Campanie) ou à Tusculum dans le Latium. Ensuite, probablement entre 225 et 228, il est nommé  (ou gouverneur adjoint d'Afrique proconsulaire). À la même période (226-229), l'empereur Sévère Alexandre le nomme consul suffect.

Peu après (vers 227-230) après son consulat suffect, Caesonius Lucillus est fait  (ou responsable officiel de la maintenance des canaux du Tibre et des égouts de Rome). Ensuite, vers 230-235, il est nommé , c'est-à-dire responsable des aqueducs et de l'approvisionnement en grains de la ville. En 238, il est l'un des , un groupe de 20 sénateurs qui prennent temporairement le pouvoir après la révolte d'une partie de la population et du Sénat contre Maximin le Thrace et la mort soudaine de Gordien  qu'ils avaient reconnus comme empereur. Sa présence au sein de ce prestigieux groupe de personnalité romaines reflète l'estime dans laquelle il est tenu par ses pairs au Sénat.

Peu après 240, Caesonius Lucillus est nommé proconsul en Afrique, où il fut auparavant nommé légat. Sa nomination peut être une réponse à la révolte de Sabinianus, avec pour mission de stabiliser la riche province sénatoriale après la mort de ce dernier, preuve de la confiance que lui accorde l'empereur Gordien III. Il est ensuite nommé  (ou représentant officiel de l'empereur supervisant les affaires judiciaires), possiblement entre 242 et 244 lorsque Gordien III mène campagne contre les Sassanides en Perse, mais il peut avoir occupé cette fonction jusqu'en 254. Si toutefois il l'occupe encore en 244, il peut l'avoir abandonné lorsque le nouvel empereur Philippe l'Arabe atteint Rome.

To try another recipe from the book, check out: grilled shrimp and pineapple skewers; and lobster and shrimp ceviche.
Everything goes into one very large pot for this New Orleans-inspired crawfish boil. "It leaves you more time for friends, family and an outdoor barbecue or outdoor fun," Matt Dean Pettit says.
In true N'awlins style, he recommends serving the dish spread out on a long, newspaper-covered outdoor table.
Some grocery stores and fishmongers across the country stock frozen crawfish imported from Louisiana but if you can't locate them, Pettit recommends substituting sustainable shrimp or crab (snow, king or B.C. Dungeness).
In a very large stockpot, bring 10 1/2 quarts (10 L) of cold water to a boil over high heat. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the seafood seasoning, the lemon halves, and the potato quarters. Bring the water back up to a boil and then cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes have softened slightly. Add the sausages and corn. Cook for 10 more minutes. Add the crawfish and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Drain off the water, and allow the seafood to cool for 3 to 5 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
In the meantime, set up your serving table with a plastic tablecloth and plenty of newspapers. Pour the seafood right on the table. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup (60 mL) of seafood seasoning overtop.
Break out the napkins and cold beer, and dip the pieces into the melted butter. Don't worry about getting your hands dirty; it's all part of the fun!
Note: If you buy live crawfish, you'll need to purge them. Dump the live crawfish into a large cooler or stockpot. Empty one large box of kosher salt over the crawfish, and then add enough cold water to cover them all. Using a large spoon, stir well and allow the salt to clean out any mud or dirt. Let them soak for about 5 minutes and then drain off the water. The crawfish are now ready to cook. Remember to discard any dead or unmoving crawfish prior to cooking!
If you can't find crawfish, Pettit recommends using crab (snow, king or B.C. Dungeness) or sustainable shrimp.


We calculate strong interaction O(alpha s) corrections to rare K- and B-decays dominated by Z0 penguins and box diagrams with virtual top quark exchanges for an arbitrary top quark mass. We find that the uncertainty in the branching ratios, due to the dependence of mt on the choice of the renormalization scale µ is reduced from O(25%) to O(3%) by including the O(alphas) corrections. For the choice of µ=mt with 100 GeVŠmtŠ200 GeV the corrections to Kl ->�0vv and B ->Xsvv are less than 4% and at most 13% for B->ll. For the choice µ-Mw they can be as large as 20% for both types of decays. We also point out that the published branching ratios for B->ll miss an over-all factor of 2.

An anti-abortion group is taking one of Scotland's leading universities to court, claiming that a "no-platforming" policy amounted to discrimination.
The University of Aberdeen's student union has refused to grant affiliation to the Aberdeen Life Ethics Society (Ales), which supports the picketing of abortion clinics.
The student body has voted to oppose the "unreasonable display of pro-life material within campus and at [union] events" and supports the right to free terminations and the morning-after pill on the NHS.


One of the funnest Nights!
Fashion show at the Mansion on South Beach. This event was a while back but we are just now getting the pictures from it. Allison's first Fashion show and she did AMAZING so here are some pictures of her on the cat walk. Being back stage and being able to assist my best friend's first fashion show was amazing. I really enjoyed being behind the scenes and being a part of the production because it was so exciting and FUN!
Allison Editorial shoot for Level Magazine turned out amazing.
This is her first editorial spread in a magazine! www.Levelmagazine.com Actually has a really cool website, you can look through the entire magazine online! Its designed so well.
Im having sushi with ashley , the other intern from MC2 models.
She did her full internship with MC2 and i feel like maybe i missed out on something good by leaving early. She even said that she is thinking about going back and i kind of want to know her inside scoop, so i invited her out with me to have sushi so we can talk about what all she got to do at the agency after i had left. Also i talked to Elite modeling agency again and they are going to keep me in mind for an internship this fall!
This is what i really want to do... be in this industry full heart and soul, whether it be behind the scenes or a model. I really want to work my way up to be a full time scout. i know that i can spot talent!
Untitled from skinny intern on Vimeo.
THATS RIGHT! Skinny intern is moving... in together!
Allison and I will be moving in together this fall so look out for a lot of new stuff!
that is totally true. i have learned from going to castings that i sucked at walking and wear the totally wrong thing which could be why i haven't been casted as much as i want to. but i have fixed it and cant wait for the season to start and get into doing things right now and rocking it :) btw i got my hair cut and i love it. ill have post some pictures soon.
p.s. when you want to be a model and/or after you have signed with an agency, they don't teach you how to walk or what to say or wear when you go on castings... or at least this is what I've experienced. They just throw you into it and say... okay go on this casting. Before you know it your haveing to learn what to do and what not to do all on your own. Some Agents or casting directors might be really nice and help you out but most of the time... that isn't the case.
when i walked through those doors and met with Paolo and his assistant Hannah I new I wanted to work there.
i guess its time for a new look?
i also have to get a tan but that is no problem at all, i love the pool and tanning.
The beginning of our adventures.
Allison and I going to meet with MC2 to sign her contract and to see if i got the internship with them. It leads to us going to a casting call right after that!
Stay tuned next time to see how the casting went.
so i had a casting today. i walk in and like always there is a sign in sheet. i walked up to it, lifted up the sheets previously filled out, grabbed a pen, and started writing. slowly but surely with my hands full i smelt fire. i looked up and i had just set the casting sign in sheets on fire. turns out there was a candle right behind the clipboard and i came a little too close. needless to say the all the rooms started smelling like smoke so i slowly and smoothly walked away trying to remain un-noticed and did. people then started saying 'do you smell fire?' 'is something on fire?' i simply replied with a shrug of the shoulders. a man then showed the evidence to the main lady in charge and she couldn't believe that happened. i am pretty sure she thought and knew that i had did it. how embarrassing... i think very!!!
then i go to hand in my card and introduce myself and get my picture taken. when i was finished the lady came up to me and was like your new right? so i replied yes somewhat.... she commented on the fact that i basically was wearing the totally wrong thing and should for future reference fix myself up more. DEFINITELY needless to say i don't think i booked that job.
How is that Kate Moss was at a stunted height of 5'7" and still had the capability to rock the industry. I'M AN INCH TALLER!
So i was on model mayhem trying to find a new photographer that i could shoot with and all of a sudden im just browsing through and this one photographer caught my eye. I clicked to view her profile and this is what i see on the very top of profile...!
A picture of Allison! So i emailed her and i was like "girl you are more popular than you think"
I am so sucked into this life.
I emailed khalid my boss when i was working at MC2 Models.
Going to fashion week this time??
Does MC2 ever have models in the shows during fashion week?
Jean Luc wants me to go to Milano. You wanna go?
HELLS YES! he could just be teasing me though. I doubt it happens.

The Week's Big Movers
The Los Angeles Business Journal's index of largest local public companies gained for the week as the broader markets reacted to the Federal Reserve's stimulus package.
The weighted LABJ Stock Index closed up 1.7 percent to 141.52 for the week ended Sept. 14. Gainers outpaced decliners 115 to 54, with seven companies unchanged.
The biggest gainer was Response Genetics Inc., which soared 75 percent to $1.35. The Los Angeles diagnostic test developer said it raised $8.8 million in a private placement of its stock, mostly acquired by British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline Plc.
Virco Mfg Corp. jumped 72 percent to $2.75. The Torrance institutional furniture maker reported a 163 percent higher second-quarter net income on improved gross margins.
NetSol Technologies Inc. gained 19 percent to $5.73. An analyst upgraded the stock of the Calabasas company, which makes corporate credit and finance management software, following a better-than-expected fiscal fourth quarter report.
American Apparel Inc. rose 18 percent to $1.39. The downtown L.A. clothing manufacturer and retailer announced a rise in monthly sales and an extension of a previous credit agreement.
Among the biggest decliners was Los Angeles specialty soda maker Reed Inc., which fell 12 percent to $6.13 despite the lack of market-moving news.
THQ Inc. fell 7 percent to $4.09, as analysts believed that the success of the Agoura Hills video game maker's "Darksiders II" wasn't going to be enough to solve the company's problems.

Today we'll be taking a look at the Netcomm NB1300 Rev2 ADSL Ethernet Modem which is an 10/100 Ethernet & USB ADSL modem, quite an old one back from 2003 and a bit dusty too.
Looks like the layout is pretty relaxed, lots of space left over. We've got a fair few electrolytic capacitors which are all branded Teapo, we have a single chip solution and interestingly there's a VCXO. Date code is 35th week of 2003.
This device runs off 12VAC so we have a bridge rectifier going through two 0 ohm resistors (option of 2 inductors) to an UTC MC34063 DC-DC converter with a couple of 470uF around plus 2x LD1117 LDOs; nothing too fancy.
The main chip is a Conexant AccessRunner CX82310 which has a 168 MHz ARM940T processor, 10/100 Ethernet MAC, USB 1.1, integrated ADSL transceiver/AFE/Line Driver and could also be hooked up to an 802.11b through the PCMCIA interface. I believe it's running from the the 35.328Mhz VCXO.
The memory we have is an MX MX29LV160 16Mbit Flash and an ISSI IS42S16400 64Mbit SDRAM.
For the ethernet side, we have a Delta LF8505 for the isolation transformer with a Micrel KS8721B 10/100 transceiver running with a 25 MHz crystal. There isn't anything special for the USB side and the RJ11 side has the usual gas discharge tube and transformer, no other chips needed as the line driver is done by the Conexant. Apart from that we just have a logic chip, a 74HC14D hex inverting schmitt trigger near the bottom left.

Use this forum to report any bug, questions or comment related to the old VirtualDJ 8.0.
For comment about VirtualDJ 8.1, please use the 8.1 forum.
Prefer to use the words channel for the mixer part and decks for the players.
Could you please tell us which channels of the NS6 are you using to control the volume of decks 1 and 2 ?
If not mistaken, the default channel order of the unit (as per the silkscreen) is 3-1-2-4, correct ?
So if you have the channels 3 and 4 of the NS6 as external sources, then the channels 1 and 2 (middle ones) should control the volume of the Decks 1 and 2 . Is that right ?
If you use all 4 Channels and the 4 Decks default skin, do you see the Volume faders of the Ns6 moving the Volume faders of the internal software mixer (on the screen) moving with the same order ? Same with the Eq knobs ?
found solution on 4 deck skin decks 1 and 2 must be selected as decks also as well corresponding with display on numark ns6 controller ie layer must display 1 or 3, or 2 or 4 in sync with skin displaying switch of decks also must be done for 2 deck skins.
How many people out there are using a NS6 controller with virtual DJ ?
The Layers of the unit are hardware and the software has no way to tell if you start the NS6 having one Layer or the other active. The unit changes the Layers even before you launch any software, and the Leds are off to help you understand which one is selected.
So , if you launch VirtualDJ and find out that the layers are reversed, e.g. you load a track on deck 1 , but you actually control deck 3, then swap the Layers on that side and relaunch VirtualDJ.
If you dont want this to happen next time you launch VirtualDj, just make sure you close the software while decks 1 and 2 are left and right decks respectively.
Are you using a 2 or a 4 decks skin , and which one ?
I am having the exact same problem. VDJ 8 open as adefault 1-3-2-4 channel order. Decks 3 and 2 are active. So on the mixer, Channel 3 controls deck 1, Channel 1 controls deck 3, channel 2 controls deck 2, and channel 4 controls deck 4. For sake of clarity, the NS6 is laid out in a 3-1-2-4 Channel order.
So can we get a 3-1-2-4 option in the config settings? That would really rock!!! Or is it a bug? Either way, it would be awesome to find a workaround.
Ok guys, i will take a look once more, probably tomorrow, but in the meantime, lets try to understand each other.
We have 2 things here, mixer control and deck control.
the mixer is indeed 3-1-2-4. So in order to test if the mixer works fine, just forget the decks for a while and control the software decks from the skin. If you load a file on deck 1, and use the play button on the skin, do you get the 2nd Channel from the left (labeled as  )controlling Volume, EQ etc ? Does the mixer operate properly as 3-1-2-4 ?
Now for the decks issue... E.g. you launch the software , you load a track on the left side (which is supposed to be Deck 1), and you realize that its actually loaded on deck 3 and you control deck 3 instead of deck 1.
In that case, press the Left LAYER button once, so that the decks swap, close the software and relaunch. Does this fix the issue ?
Weird, last time i checked, this trick worked for me. Anyways, i will take a look first thing in the morning.
Ok, i took a look at the mapper files again and did several tests.
Indeed there is a case on launch to control a different deck than the one the Layer shows. This is something that we cant do anything about at the moment, as we dont have a way to force the unit to launch on a specific Layer. The Layers are slightly mapped differently compared to version 7, as we wanted to provide the White Layer for decks 1 and 2 and the Red Layer for decks 3 and 4.
Once again, if you happen to launch the software with reversed Layers on any side, simply swap the Layers on the reversed side and relaunch VDJ.
I see the confusion. Damn, on the sample unit we have (probably pre-production model), Layers on the Left side are marked as 1 and 2 and Layers on the right side are marked as 3 and 4, which in away can be very confusing, considering that the left side controls deck 1 and 3 of the software. I took a look at the Internet and found pictures with 2 different silkscreen and labels on the mixer.
Currently the mixer is mapped as 3-1-2-4 (i use the numbers that VirtualDJ uses) but the silkscreen of the unit has swapped order for the Left side.
b. Offer an alternative mixer order to match the silkscreen of the mixer, so the far left mixer CH will control deck 1 of VirtualDj, and the next one , deck 3 of VirtualDJ. However, with this scenario, i am not sure if you will find a suitable skin to support this order. So this scenario could also confuse more.
Since the unit was always mapped like that (from version 7 or 6), we will not change this for now. Unless of course the majority asks differently.


Great video of you and Jayce. You did what all dads should do – enjoy the child's day / moment!! You have it recorded and it will last forever !!!
Appreciate the feedback as it was an exciting day. Jayce talks about it frequently and is eager to get back after it once we put this winter behind us. Cool what those fish can do to anglers of all ages and I am thankful to have the easy to do video aspect available to preserve the memories.

The second year of the Student Union approaches! – Annika Nevanpää to serve as TREY's chair in 2020
The Council of Representatives for the Student Union of Tampere University had its autumn meeting on 26 November and chose the new executive board, committee members and council chairpersons today 27 November in its organisational meeting.
In its autumn meeting, the council approved the Plan of Action for TREY, which consists of 17 projects which will be undertaken next year. Building the community, establishing the foundations for TREY's work and advocacy regarding current themes concerning the university community as well as long-term projects are highlighted in next year's plans. A new student media outlet will be born in Tampere next year. Its development starts with the recruitment of an editor-in-chief in early 2020. The approved budget supports and gives the outlines for the execution of the Plan of Action. A notable detail in the budget is that the membership fee for degree students will be raised by 3 euros.
Today in its organisational meeting, the council elected new chairpersons, members to its committees as well as the chair and executive board for the Student Union. Adam Zeidan (MEMES) was elected as the chair of the Council of Representatives, with Merve Caglayan (Vihreä lista) as the 1st vice-chair and Iiris Taubert (Proka) as the 2nd vice-chair.
One member from each council group was elected to the Administration Committee and the council chose Aliisa Toivanen (Sity) as its chairperson. In accordance with the board's motion, the members for the Committee for Financial Affairs will be Eero Vehka-aho (chair), Kalle Tuunanen, Masi Kajander, Lassi Mäkinen, Tiina Mikkonen, Sanni Nyyssönen and Tommi Kukkonen. Members invited on the Honorary Committee are, in accordance with the board's motion, Ville Korpiluoto (chair), Tuire Jalaskoski, Paula Nykänen, Suvi Parhankangas, Juha Köykkä, Eero Vehka-aho and Tuomas Rissanen.
The council elected Annika Nevanpää, a 4th year administrative sciences student, as the chairperson of the executive board for next year. She has been this year's educational and international affairs organiser in the board.
"I am really excited to lead TREY in a new decade on its second full year of existence. This year's board has done amazing work towards building the new student union and they have set up the development of our community and advocacy work for success. We have a good group of people chosen for next year, and I can't wait to start working alongside our staff!", rejoices the newly-elected chairperson Nevanpää. The elected board members for 2020 are Julius Haapakoski, Ville Jäppinen, Tuomas Kauppinen, Anriika Kauppi, Ella Meriläinen, Aleksi Niemi, Noora Tapio, Iiris Taubert and Salla-Mari Palokari. The new board gets organised later this year. As Taubert was elected to the board, the council will choose a new 2nd vice-chair in it's January meeting. Congratulations to the elected and thank you to all who applied!

As a Gaithersburg native, NBC4 traffic reporter Melissa Mollet has come to rely on Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center. From bouts with the flu to visits to our pediatric emergency department, Melissa said she and her family depend on the caregivers at Shady Grove.
In July, Melissa and her husband, Jake, welcomed daughter Colette Ryan into the world at The Birth Center at Shady Grove. Colette was delivered by Anders Apgar, MD, who Melissa said "held my hand throughout my whole pregnancy" and was particularly rooting for this baby after Melissa's public battle with infertility.
As a way to thank Adventist HealthCare, Melissa served as the master of ceremonies for the health system's third annual gala Nov. 18. The 2017 event celebrated the nurses who provide world-class care for our community.

Ok, upon reading this again I realize there is a bit of confusion. The wording used here doesn't explain a spell. It sounds more like magoi manipulation a warrior uses.
Channeling and condensing magoi is part of magic, but it isn't a spell. In magi, a spell is performed by giving a command to the rukh(The spell name) and then providing magoi to power it.
When I talked about aiming the spell, I meant aiming the buff. Not aiming an attack after the limb was buffed. Here is an edited version of the same kind of ability in spell form. Tell me if you like it.

Here's why Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kevin de León are teaming up on climate change
Arnold Schwarzenegger, alongside Kevin de León, shakes hands with then-Gov. Jerry Brown at a 2017 event for legislation aimed at reducing climate change.
(Eric Risberg / Associated Pres)
By Sammy RothStaff Writer
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, is joining forces with an influential Democrat to tackle one of California's biggest problems: pollution from cars and trucks.
The transportation sector is California's largest source of planet-warming greenhouse gas pollution — and emissions are trending up, not down. But Schwarzenegger and Kevin de León, the former state Senate leader who is now running for a Los Angeles City Council seat, see an opportunity to clear the air.
Schwarzenegger and De León are launching an initiative with environmental activists and researchers at USC and UCLA to study how local governments can speed the adoption of cleaner transportation options and to promote more aggressive action at the state level. Reducing dependence on oil for transportation, they say, would benefit the climate and reduce lung-damaging air pollution in disadvantaged communities.
"Pollution kills people. There's no getting around it," De León said in an interview, describing the new initiative publicly for the first time. "And it's been happening for the last century. It's just been a very slow burn."
De León, who ran unsuccessfully against incumbent Democrat Dianne Feinstein for a U.S. Senate seat last year, has been a leading advocate for political action on climate change and air pollution. As a state senator, he wrote the bills that raised California's clean energy mandate to 50% by 2030, then 100% by 2045.
Schwarzenegger is also a climate change policy veteran. As governor, he signed the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which set the first legal requirement for California to slash its greenhouse gas emissions.
The movie star and former governor said he and De León "come from different parties, but we share the belief that we can do better at protecting the people from the health impacts of pollution."
"I've always said there is no Republican air or Democratic air," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
Then-Gov. Jerry Brown, with former Gov. Schwarzenegger, speaks at a July 2017 signing ceremony in San Francisco for a bill to reduce climate change.
(Eric Risberg / Associated Press)
The laws pushed by Schwarzenegger and De León have helped reduce emissions to 429 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2016 from 494 million metric tons in 2004, according to state officials. But most of those reductions have been driven by the electricity sector, as homes and businesses use energy more efficiently and utilities replace coal-fired power plants with solar panels, wind turbines and natural gas.
Transportation was responsible for 41% of California's climate pollution in 2016. And as the economy has grown in recent years, transportation emissions have risen, fueled by increased driving.
Tailpipe pollution also contributed to the 87 consecutive days Southern California violated federal smog standards last summer, said Antonio Bento, an economist who leads USC's Center for Sustainability Solutions. Bento, who plans to support Schwarzenegger and De León's initiative with academic research, said a Trump administration proposal to roll back fuel-efficiency rules would only worsen the region's air pollution.
"It's absolutely unbelievable that we've made so much progress in terms of air quality. But unless we continue to do a major push for the electrification of the fleet, I think we are starting to plateau," Bento said.
"Electrification of the fleet" means replacing fossil-fuel-powered cars and trucks with electric vehicles. It's California's main strategy for slashing transportation emissions, along with promoting alternatives to driving.
L.A. keeps building near freeways, even though living there makes people sick »
So far, the state's highest-profile efforts to clean up transportation have had mixed results.
Former Gov. Jerry Brown set a goal of putting 5 million electric vehicles on the road by 2030, but just 550,000 EVs have been sold in the state to date, according to Veloz, a nonprofit backed by environmental groups and car companies. And critics say a market-based program known as cap and trade is too gentle on the oil industry, although state officials have defended the program, arguing it has kept transportation emissions from rising even more.
In 2015, De León tried to get a bill through the Legislature that would have mandated a 50% reduction in petroleum use statewide by 2030. But he was forced to strip that measure from the bill amid opposition from the oil industry.
Now, De León and Schwarzenegger are taking an approach they hope will sidestep those thorny politics: focusing on local governments.
Although the state can subsidize electric vehicles and prod utility companies to install EV chargers, cities and counties are largely responsible for the policies that influence how many miles people drive, through actions such as housing and zoning decisions, investments in public transit and regulation of ride-sharing services. Local governments also buy a huge number of buses, trucks and passenger vehicles.
"What the senator and former governor are trying to do is really look to local and regional leaders for lessons of success to describe what has worked and what hasn't worked," said J.R. DeShazo, director of UCLA's Luskin Center for Innovation, who is also working on the new initiative. "What we would be doing is helping the senator and the governor take these local strategies and think about how do we scale them statewide."

The initiative will also involve researchers at USC, where Schwarzenegger teaches an environmental policy class and chairs an institute named for him. Bento said he and other USC professors plan to conduct research on a variety of topics, possibly including vehicle-buying habits in minority communities, policies that could encourage car dealerships to embrace electric vehicles and the best way to structure incentives for EVs.
"One of the key issues is how do we design public policies so that not only do we promote a cleaner environment, but we also do it in a way that reduces inequalities and brings these technologies to vulnerable communities," Bento said. "It's not just subsidizing the purchase, it's thinking about the entire infrastructure that is needed to allow you to even consider this technology in the first place," including the availability of charging stations.
From De León's perspective, reducing emissions needs to be done in a way that helps low-income and minority communities breathe easier. He pointed to his former state Senate district in central and eastern Los Angeles, which he said is crisscrossed by seven freeways.
"Too many kids are sick at home missing school because of dangerous levels of air pollution," De León said.

Cleaning up the transportation sector won't be easy, especially in Southern California, which has long been defined by freeways and suburban sprawl. The state's long-term plan for reducing climate pollution envisions a 15% reduction in miles traveled by light-duty vehicles by 2050, which the state plan says will require strategies such as more infill development, congestion pricing and expanded roles for transit, biking and walking.
The state's ability to cut emissions will also hinge on the private sector, such as battery manufacturers, automakers and ride-share companies. The biggest player in the electric vehicle market is Elon Musk's Tesla Inc., which said last week it would finally start selling its Model 3 sedan at the long-promised $35,000 price point.
Bento said he's excited to work with Schwarzenegger.
"Coming from Portugal, as a kid my idea of him was the Hummer driver in 'The Terminator,'" Bento said. "It's been a phenomenal surprise and inspiration to me how much he's taken this as a big cause of his life now."

Column: Undiscovered Creatures In The Ocean
[Opinion column written by Tammy Horton, Andreas Kroh, and Leen Vandepitte]
"The oceans cover 70% of the surface of our planet, and yet they are still the least explored," says Sir David Attenborough in the opening sequence of the recent BBC documentary series Blue Planet II. "Hidden beneath the waves, there are creatures beyond our imagination." Yet while the programme reveals the wonders of many of these species, an incredible number more have never been encountered by humans at all.
In fact, we don't even know how many species exist in the oceans. Most estimates were made before we even had any inventory of how many had been scientifically named – they have ranged from 0.3m to an astounding 100m. Numerous new marine species are discovered every year – yet working out how many species there are in total [and so how many more we need to describe] is a much more difficult process. But now we at least have the essential foundation of knowing how many marine species have been named, thanks to a decade-long collaborative effort by hundreds of scientists.
Scientists have used a variety of methods to estimate the global number of marine species and each has its limitations. Data isn't always reliable and the assumptions of each method can be flawed. A common method is to scale up the fraction of unknown species estimated in a specific sample or region. Other methods rely on our system of taxonomic classification [the way we name and group different species]. We can use the rate of discovery of new families and orders or the rate at which new species are described to estimate the total number of species there must be.
Some methods have used expert opinion on how many unknown species are expected in a particular group the expert works on, based on potential new species that they know of but haven't yet been described. According to a study from 2012, the average time between the discovery of a new species and its description is 21 years.
Because each method relies on assumptions and particular datasets, they have resulted in wide variations in estimates. The very high estimates [any larger than 10m] are now thought unlikely by many, but current common estimates still vary between around 0.3m and 2m marine species.
New way of recording species
This means that, after 250 years of describing, naming and cataloguing the species we share our planet with, we are still a long way off achieving a complete census. But we do know that 242,500 marine species have been described because their names are now managed in the World Register of Marine Species [WoRMS] by about 300 scientists located all over the world.
Every year, almost 2,000 marine species new to science are added to the register. This includes species from relatively well known groups such as fish, almost 1,500 of which were described in the past decade. Most undiscovered creatures likely remain in the least explored habitats such as the deep oceans, the most diverse environments such as tropical shallow seas, and the most diverse groups including molluscs and crustaceans.
Most of these species are probably "macro" sized [1 mm to 10 cm] seabed-living crustaceans, molluscs and worms. We've found just over 6,000 new marine crustaceans and almost 8,000 marine molluscs in the past ten years. A recent finding of 28 new amphipod crustacean species doubled the number of them known in Antarctic waters.
Taxonomists are busy collecting, identifying and describing new species of marine animals all the time. The process from collection of a sample to the publication of a species as new to science is arduous and time-consuming. All characteristics of the animal need to be carefully examined and compared with every other closely related species.
This now often requires DNA analysis which provides additional data for later researchers to be able to identify the new species by its genetic "barcode". Once the data from a new species has been published in a scientific journal, the WoRMS taxonomic editor responsible for that group of species enters the information and makes it openly available to all users worldwide.
Since the WoRMS was founded in 2007, the number of species on the list has doubled from 120,000 to 242,500. The number of names in the database is actually almost double this figure [477,700] but many of them are not valid because of duplication or changes to species classification.
Naming species helps conservation
Keeping an up-to-date list of the world's marine species isn't just for interest but is also important for protecting our oceans. Extinctions from habitat loss and climate change are progressing at alarming rates. Around 20% of marine species are at risk of extinction and we urgently need to document what is happening in order to better understand why and how to prevent it.
Biodiversity also underpins many features of the environment that humans depend on. Each new species discovered could provide opportunities for advances in medicine or agriculture.
WoRMS has brought us closer to a complete assessment of our marine biodiversity than ever before. Perhaps this model of real-time online collaboration between experts around the world – and a centralised database with a professional data centre – could be used to provide a continuously updated, freely available, comprehensive database of all species on Earth. Until then, we will continue to marvel at how much we still don't know.

Franz Joseph Hermann Michael Maria von Papen (29. oktober 1879 i Werl, Westfalen – 2. maj 1969 i Obersasbach, Baden-Württemberg), var en katolsk adelsmand og politiker for partiet Zentrum i Weimarrepublikken. Han blev i 1932 af rigspræsident Paul von Hindenburg udnævnt til rigskansler for republikken. I tiden 1933-1934 fungerede han som vicekansler under Adolf Hitler.

Ved Nürnbergprocessen efter 2. verdenskrig blev han tiltalt, men dog frikendt for alle anklager.

Men efterfølgende blev han den 24. februar 1947 i forbindelse med afnazificeringen klassificeret som "hovedskyldig" og idømt otte års strafarbejde.

Q: Upgraded Magento 1.7x to 1.9.1 - categories/products give "Internal Server Error" I have checked compilation is disabled, cache is clear, re-indexed, turned on development mode (I get no errors). Disabled MageWorx SEO, set the theme/package to default.
The site will load for example, the account login/register page/ the home page, and a few other pages. However, the site will not load categories/products.
Guessing this is a rewrite issue? Any ideas why this would happen after an upgrade?

A: When you have restricted access to your hosting environment and can't debug the problem properly you can enable developer mode in Magento and also enable error display to give you more indications on what could possibly go wrong.
To do that, open your index.php file and make the following changes:
if (isset($_SERVER['MAGE_IS_DEVELOPER_MODE'])) {
    Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);
}

change to
if (isset($_SERVER['MAGE_IS_DEVELOPER_MODE']) || true) {
    Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);
}

and
#ini_set('display_errors', 1);

change to
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

This will show you exactly what and where is failing without having to ask your hosting provider for help

Retiring distinguished teaching professor of English delivers farewell address to community
April 19, 2018 Catherine White
Distinguished teaching professor of English Ron Herzman concluded 49 years of teaching with a lecture to the campus community. Herzman touched on the faculty members who influenced his growth in academia, as well as the interdisciplinary nature of his time at Geneseo. (Izzy Graziano/Knights' life editor)
After 49 years of service to the college, distinguished teaching professor of English Ron Herzman will retire at the end of the spring 2018 semester. His impact will be remembered on-campus, which was shown through the attendance and reception of his final lecture, "Dancing with the Stars: Cook, Towsley, McCoy—and Dante."
Members of the campus community came together for Herzman's lecture on Friday April 13 in Newton 202. In the lecture, Herzman reflected on the friendly and intellectual connections he has made with various individuals, specifically with distinguished teaching professor of Medieval and Renaissance Europe and Church History William Cook, distinguished teaching professor of mathematics Gary Towsley and distinguished teaching professor of English Beth McCoy.
The main narrative of the lecture brought together the minds of Dante and Plato to emphasize a collaboration of "sameness and difference" through a shared inquiry, according to Herzman. Through Cook, Towsley and McCoy, Herzman said he experienced this process in his Geneseo career.
Working with historian Cook when they taught classes about Dante prompted Herzman to think about the work in a different manner than he had before. Through Cook, Herzman learned more about the structure and context of Dante's work, allowing him to leave the safety net of his obsessive concern with the text.
Collaborating with math-centered Towsley allowed Herzman to think more about Dante from an internally analytical perspective, making complex concepts clearer than before. Towsley helped Herzman see Dante's mathematical precision as not necessarily a framework to the work, but more of a dialect that provides the entire narrative with the theme of inevitability.
Lastly, Herzman explained his relationship with African-Americanist Beth McCoy. Together, they explored what would happen if African American scholars like Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. Du Bois intellectually interacted. Herzman claimed that this caused him to see the works of the authors in new lights, specifically allowing him to give more flesh and blood to Dante's work.
The lecture ended with closing remarks from professor and chair of the English Department Rob Doggett and a question and answer session for Herzman so he could share his wisdom with the audience.
Alumni George Goga '17, who met Herzman in his first semester at Geneseo, gave a heartfelt introduction before the distinguished professor's lecture. Addressing Herzman as both a beloved professor and friend, Goga spoke of Herzman's accomplishments.
"To say he is highly devoted to teaching simply does not do justice to the time, hard work and dedication that Dr. Herzman has devoted to changing students' lives for the past 49 years," Goga said.
Herzman received his Ph.D. from the University of Delaware and an L.H.D. from Manhattan College. As a professor, his teaching focuses are on Shakespeare, Chaucer and Dante. He published The Medieval World View in 1983, and it was published into its third edition in 2012 by Oxford University Press.
Additionally, Herzman was the first to receive the Faculty Career Achievement Award at Geneseo in 2017. He is also the Director of Education and Outreach for the Dante Society of America.
As represented during the lecture, McCoy was one of the many people who interacted with Herzman throughout his Geneseo career. His departure has a profound impact on McCoy, considering his constant presence around the English department.
"I think that [his departure] is very sad, but also he has given so much to Geneseo that it's important to be able to embark on new journeys," McCoy said. "Just experiencing the space in Welles without him around so regularly is going to be a big adjustment. It was a great honor to get to team teach with him, it really was."
Even though Herzman is leaving, his influence will always be present by those he impacted.

COVID-19: Crowded In Camps, Rohingya Refugees Vulnerable To Virus
Aid Workers Are Bracing For A Possible Outbreak Of The Coronavirus In One Of The World's Largest Refugee Camps In Bangladesh.
AP | Updated on: 03 Apr 2020, 11:48:11 PM

Dhaka:
Aid workers are bracing for a possible outbreak of the coronavirus in one of the world's largest refugee camps in Bangladesh, with officials warning that containing the disease among more than 1 million tightly packed Rohingya Muslims will be a daunting task. With about 40,000 people per square kilometer (103,600 per square mile) living in plastic shacks side by side, which is more than 40 times the average density of Bangladesh, the refugees are dangerously exposed to the virus.
Each shack is barely 10 square meters (107 square feet) and many are overcrowded with up to 12 people. There have been no reported cases of infection in the camps yet, but officials remain concerned. The U.N. is not doing any testing for the virus but sends any suspected cases to a government hospital.
"We are doing our best to protect them, but if the virus breaks out it will be a tough job for all of us," Mohammad Shamsuddoza, the additional refugee, relief and repatriation commissioner of Bangladesh, told The Associated Press by phone from Cox's Bazar on the border with Myanmar, from where the Rohingya have fled a government crackdown.

He said the 34 camps are a major challenge despite preparations to provide better health care services. "It's overcrowded, every family has multiple members," he said. "So this is practically very difficult to keep them separated." Rachel Wolff, senior director for the aid group World Vision in Cox's Bazar, said "social distancing is almost impossible for families."
Bangladesh has reported six deaths and 54 cases of COVID-19 amid concerns that the virus could spread in the South Asian country through Bangladeshis who have returned from Italy and other places struggling with the disease. Many of those returning did not respect social distancing or stay in self-quarantine. One reason for the low number of reported cases could be insufficient testing as health care facilities initially lacked testing kits.
Bangladesh, a nation of 160 million, is currently under a lockdown until April 11 to help contain the virus, and troops are out to enforce the stay-at-home rules. Mohammad Kamal Hossain, the top government administrator in Cox's Bazar, said foreigners have been banned from frequent visits to the camps unless they are "absolutely necessary."

"They have been instructed to carry on work in a limited scope," he said. A 100-bed isolation ward was built inside the camps and another 200-bed hospital with modern facilities is being deployed in cooperation with the World Health Organization, he said.
The U.N. refugee agency said about 1,200 additional beds were being readied just outside the camps at Ukhiya and Teknaf. Louise Donovan, UNHCR communications officer in Cox's Bazar, said planning was also underway for 1,700 more beds in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration, UNICEF and Save the Children International.
Donovan said water and soaps are being widely distributed, and thousands of community health workers including the refugees themselves were being trained. Others working in the camps are told to spread awareness about the virus. Mosque imams and local leaders have also been engaged.
"Communications are ongoing through radio spots, video, posters, leaflets and messages in Rohingya, Burmese and Bengali languages, explaining how the virus spreads, how people can protect themselves and their families, symptoms and care-seeking," Donovan said. Fear gripped the camps after a 75-year-old Bangladeshi woman in nearby Cox''s Bazar town tested positive for the coronavirus.
A Rohingya family of four who returned from India recently also was quarantined for 14 days in a U.N. transit camp. The message is reaching the refugees.
"The organizations working here told us about cough, cold and soar throat being the symptoms of the coronavirus," Golforaj Begum, a 54-year-old refugee, told the AP at Kutupalong camp.
"They also told us how to maintain our safety. Such as not to go to other rooms, maintaining a 5-foot distance from one another, not to mix in a crowd, washing hands properly before cooking and eating. They also told us to keep our backyards clean," she said.
The Rohingya have fled Myanmar since August 2017, when Myanmar's military launched counterinsurgency operations in response to rebel attacks. Security forces have been accused of mass rapes, killings and burning thousands of homes.
Myanmar's government has long considered the Rohingya to be migrants from Bangladesh, even though their families have lived in the Buddhist-majority country for generations. Nearly all have been denied citizenship since 1982, effectively rendering them stateless. They are also denied freedom of movement and other basic rights including education.

Happy Biology
By Paul J. Hetzler on November 12, 2018
Happiness may be elusive, but it sure has spawned a lot of aphorisms. Folk-wisdom indicates one can be happy as a pig in poop—or in mud, which makes me wonder if those two hogs are equally content, and if they had other options. It also suggests you can be pleased as a pig in a peach orchard, which would make sense unless harvest season was over. Additionally, one might feel happy as a pup with…

Plant a Tree, or Rent It?
By Paul J. Hetzler on October 8, 2018
Planting a tree isn't rocket science, which is good thing. If it were that complex, I'd wager we'd have a lot fewer trees lining our streets. It may not take a scientist to plant a tree correctly, but a lot of money is spent each year to buy and plant trees which may as well be leased, because they will only live a fraction of their expected lifespan. When trees decline and die after 15, 20, or…

No prize awaits the fastest car that passes a radar patrol, or the first person to come down with the flu at the office. And for trees, the first ones to turn color in autumn are not envied by their peers. If trees experience envy, which no one knows. The first trees to show orange and red and drop their…
