VISTA: Pioneering New Survey Telescope Starts Work
A new telescope — VISTA (the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy) — has just started work at ESO's Paranal Observatory and has made its first release of pictures. VISTA is a survey telescope working at infrared wavelengths and is the world's largest telescope dedicated to mapping the sky. Its large mirror, wide field of view and very sensitive detectors will reveal a completely new view of the southern sky. Spectacular new images of the Flame Nebula, the centre of our Milky Way galaxy and the Fornax Galaxy Cluster show that it is working extremely well.
VISTA is the latest telescope to be added to ESO's Paranal Observatory in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. It is housed on the peak adjacent to the one hosting the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) and shares the same exceptional observing conditions. VISTA's main mirror is 4.1 metres across and is the most highly curved mirror of this size and quality ever made — its deviations from a perfect surface are less than a few thousandths of the thickness of a human hair — and its construction and polishing presented formidable challenges.
VISTA was conceived and developed by a consortium of 18 universities in the United Kingdom [1] led by Queen Mary, University of London and became an in-kind contribution to ESO as part of the UK's accession agreement. The telescope design and construction were project-managed by the Science and Technology Facilities Council's UK Astronomy Technology Centre (STFC, UK ATC). Provisional acceptance of VISTA was formally granted by ESO at a ceremony at ESO's Headquarters in Garching, Germany, attended by representatives of Queen Mary, University of London and STFC, on 10 December 2009 and the telescope will now be operated by ESO.
"VISTA is a unique addition to ESO's observatory on Cerro Paranal. It will play a pioneering role in surveying the southern sky at infrared wavelengths and will find many interesting targets for further study by the Very Large Telescope, ALMA and the future European Extremely Large Telescope," says Tim de Zeeuw, the ESO Director General.
At the heart of VISTA is a 3-tonne camera containing 16 special detectors sensitive to infrared light, with a combined total of 67 million pixels. Observing at wavelengths longer than those visible with the human eye allows VISTA to study objects that are otherwise impossible to see in visible light because they are either too cool, obscured by dust clouds or because they are so far away that their light has been stretched beyond the visible range by the expansion of the Universe. To avoid swamping the faint infrared radiation coming from space, the camera has to be cooled to -200 degrees Celsius and is sealed with the largest infrared-transparent window ever made. The VISTA camera was designed and built by a consortium including the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, the UK ATC and the University of Durham in the United Kingdom.
Because VISTA is a large telescope that also has a large field of view it can both detect faint sources and also cover wide areas of sky quickly. Each VISTA image captures a section of sky covering about ten times the area of the full Moon and it will be able to detect and catalogue objects over the whole southern sky with a sensitivity that is forty times greater than that achieved with earlier infrared sky surveys such as the highly successful Two Micron All-Sky Survey. This jump in observational power — comparable to the step in sensitivity from the unaided eye to Galileo's first telescope — will reveal vast numbers of new objects and allow the creation of far more complete inventories of rare and exotic objects in the southern sky.
"We're delighted to have been able to provide the astronomical community with the VISTA telescope. The exceptional quality of the scientific data is a tribute to all the scientists and engineers who were involved in this exciting and challenging project," adds Ian Robson, Head of the UK ATC.
The first released image shows the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024), a spectacular star-forming cloud of gas and dust in the familiar constellation of Orion (the Hunter) and its surroundings. In visible light the core of the object is hidden behind thick clouds of dust, but the VISTA image, taken at infrared wavelengths, can penetrate the murk and reveal the cluster of hot young stars hidden within. The wide field of view of the VISTA camera also captures the glow of NGC 2023 and the ghostly form of the famous Horsehead Nebula.
The second image is a mosaic of two VISTA views towards the centre of our Milky Way galaxy in the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer). Vast numbers of stars are revealed — this single picture shows about one million stars — and the majority are normally hidden behind thick dust clouds and only become visible at infrared wavelengths.
For the final image, VISTA has stared far beyond our galaxy to take a family photograph of a cluster of galaxies in the constellation of Fornax (the Chemical Furnace). The wide field allows many galaxies to be captured in a single image including the striking barred-spiral NGC 1365 and the big elliptical galaxy NGC 1399.
VISTA will spend almost all of its time mapping the southern sky in a systematic fashion. The telescope is embarking on six major sky surveys with different scientific goals over its first five years. One survey will cover the entire southern sky and others will be dedicated to smaller regions to be studied in greater detail. VISTA's surveys will help our understanding of the nature, distribution and origin of known types of stars and galaxies, map the three-dimensional structure of our galaxy and the neighbouring Magellanic Clouds, and help determine the relation between the structure of the Universe and the mysterious dark energy and dark matter.
The huge data volumes — typically 300 gigabytes per night or more than 100 terabytes per year — will flow back into the ESO digital archive and will be processed into images and catalogues at data centres in the United Kingdom at the Universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh. All data will become public and be available to astronomers around the globe.
Jim Emerson of Queen Mary, University of London and leader of the VISTA consortium, is looking forward to a rich harvest of science from the new telescope: "History has shown us some of the most exciting results that come out of projects like VISTA are the ones you least expect — and I'm personally very excited to see what these will be!"
[1] The VISTA Consortium is led by Queen Mary, University of London and consists of: Queen Mary, University of London; Queen's University of Belfast; University of Birmingham; University of Cambridge; Cardiff University; University of Central Lancashire; University of Durham; The University of Edinburgh; University of Hertfordshire; Keele University; Leicester University; Liverpool John Moores University; University of Nottingham; University of Oxford; University of St Andrews; University of Southampton; University of Sussex and University College London.
ESO, the European Southern Observatory, is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world's most productive astronomical observatory. It is supported by 14 countries: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries. ESO also plays a leading role in promoting and organising cooperation in astronomical research. ESO operates three unique world-class observing sites in Chile: La Silla, Paranal and Chajnantor. At Paranal, ESO operates the Very Large Telescope, the world's most advanced visible-light astronomical observatory and VISTA, the world's largest survey telescope. ESO is the European partner of a revolutionary astronomical telescope ALMA, the largest astronomical project in existence. ESO is currently planning a 42-metre European Extremely Large optical/near-infrared Telescope, the E-ELT, which will become "the world's biggest eye on the sky".

WATCH: William Hague's final speech in the Commons
William Hague, the big name Tory, will stand down at the next election. Hague took his final words to reflect on his career and pay tributes to his colleagues. His career will be reflected on by plenty of pundits, Tories, and his opponents too.
William Hague was first elected to the Commons in 1989, and during his career he held several positions including, Foreign Secretary, Minister of State for the Disabled, Leader of the Conservative Party, The First Secretary of State, as well as the Secretary of State for Wales.
Yet despite his unique golden locks falling out from his younger years, Hague was a noteworthy Tory nonetheless. He was considered to be a staunch Eurosceptic and Classical Liberal, and championed British interests by campaigning against Britain using the Euro, the currency which he labelled a "burning building".
Take care William, you shall be missed.

Q: prevent rounded corner from being removed when hiding last element I have the following bootstrap HTML.
<div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button 1</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button 2</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button 3</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button 4</button>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button 5</button>
</div>

If I hide the last element, the round corner is gone!

.btn-group button:last-child {
    display:none;
}

How can I fix that?
jsfiddle

A: The reason this happens is because Bootstrap rounds the corners of the first and last element in .btn-group.
The problem is you are not removing the last element from the DOM, merely hiding it.
If you remove the element from the DOM rather than hiding it you will get your rounded corners back. Alternately, just add a class to the last visible element.
See updated JsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/XC643/4/
Updated to dynamically add the class to the last visible button

A: The problem is that :last-child gets the last element, however visible it is.
The right solution for you depends on your needs. If you need to hide and reveal the buttons frequently, I suggest writing a Javascript function that makes sure the last visible button always has rounded corners (while others don't). You would need to call this function each time you add, remove ou rearrange the buttons. Also, you would have to create a new CSS class, without using the :last-child pseudo-class. For example :
function resetCorners(){
    var buttons = document.querySelectorAll(".btn-group button");

    // Remove corners for all
    for(var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++)
        buttons[i].className = ...;

    // Get the last visible one and set its corners
    for(var i = buttons.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){ // Start from the end
        if(buttons[i].style.display != "none"){
            buttons[i].className = ...;
            break;
        }
    }
}

Otherwise, you could purely and simply remove the button you want to hide, and this way, the last visible button would always have rounded corners.
However, there is no solution using pure CSS.

A: a quick fix could be finding last not hidden element and add the border radius via jquery
$('.btn-group').children().not(':hidden').last().css({borderRadius: 4});

Knuffle Bunny… even if Easter is already gone.
Easter came and went, but we're still in the mood for bunnies and treats! We made these super easy brown sugar shortcake cookies with Easter motifs, and we wanted to share! And to pair up with these very simple cookies, we got our favorite bunny to go with them: Mo Willem's Knuffle Bunny.
This mixed media picture book tells the story of toddler Trixie, who goes with her Daddy to run an errand at the Laundromat… and that's when things start going horribly wrong as she and her Daddy leave Knuffle Bunny, Trixie's favorite friend, behind. Trixie can't talk, so she does everything she can to let her Dad know Knuffle Bunny is missing.
This book has Mo Willems' same simple but poignant style, always speaking to children on the things they care about most. When I first read this book was when my daughter was very little and she had her very own "Knuffle Bunny" — a white blankie with a lambie's head. All the things that Trixie does to try and tell her Dad how distressed she is are things that both my daughter and son (and I bet any other child beginning to talk) goes through. So it does strike a cord with both parents and kids alike. This book won the Caldecott Award, and there's a second book on Knuffle Bunny when Trixie is older, but I haven't read that one yet. I recommend this book wholeheartedly, and I can safely say it is one of the favorite ones out here at our home. As Knuffle Bunny is not a very well known Bunny for the Easter roundups, I think it should be better known and included.
Now, for the cookies. Miss I wanted to make and decorate cookies badly, and I wanted to find a good recipe for shortbread. Following is our collaboration together! We used Wilton's candy decorating pens and white icing. Miss I has been obsessed with Song of the Sea since we saw it a few weeks ago, so all her drawings were within that theme. You can see her cookies after the recipe!
Preheat the oven to 350ºF, with the rack in the middle rung.
In an electric mixer, beat the sugar and butter until well incorporated. If you want a lighter cookie, you can use white sugar. Once the butter is pale and the mixture is fluffy, add the splash of vanilla and the pinch of salt. Add in the flour, until the entire mixture is homogeneous, then gather it up on a ball, put it on a sheet of plastic wrap and press it down to a large disk. Wrap the dough up and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
Once your dough is cold enough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a 1/2" thickness and cut out your shapes. Place them in a cookie sheet about an inch apart. I rolled mine to 1/4", but they were too thin for my taste.
Bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes, until they are cooked through and lightly brown on the edges.
Cool them on a wire rack and once they are cool enough to handle, you can decorate them. If you don't want to decorate them, they are just delicious with nothing on top.
And well, as promised, here are Miss I's egg shaped cookies, decorated.

Are You Looking For Answers That Make Sense?
Here's a bright idea…Go Solar!
As a rule, free is always the cheapest cost there is. The sun will always come up. With that certainty, your energy source will always be available.
Where conservation may or may not be your primary agenda, It should definitely be a concern. The resources on this planet are finite. They will, at some point expire.
By converting to solar energy, you'll accomplish some very big things. Reducing your carbon footprint, conserving energy & ensuring energy availability for future generations to come.
One thing is for sure, your power bill is not going down!
Many special programs are available!
Let us see if you qualify for one of them!
No one will call you until YOU ask us to.
Here are some common misconceptions about solar energy.
Solar is way too expensive for me.
That answer is most definitely wrong. Solar is the only service or product you can acquire without adding any additional debt load to the household. In fact most times it will create positive cash flow for your budget.
The technology in today's systems is cutting edge! There is literally zero maintenance and all major components are under factory warranty for as much as twenty-five years. Try getting that from your new TV.
I'm to old to change now.
I won't be here long enough.
This is a valid discussion. If your plans are to sell your property in a year or two, you should look very closely at the options. Any time frame past that chances are good you'll recover your investment with interest from the property appreciation. Solar adds tremendous value to a residence.
I don't use very much energy.
Here's a Fun Fact! Even with very limited consumption solar will still make sense, if not today for sure in the very near future. Energy costs are in a constant state of escalation. In the last ten years alone PG&E has averaged three rate increases every year to the tune of a Fifty-Three percent increase in that same time frame.
I'm stuck if I have to sell my house.
Depending on the method you decided on when you acquired your system, you may or may not have a loan balance due. Not to worry, it is no different than selling a car that you still owe money on. You simply adjust your bank payoff information to compensate for the system. Side note if you were buying a house that didn't have a power bill, how much more would that property be worth to you?
1st thing we want you to know is NOBODY WILL CALL YOU unless you ask for help. Our promise to you!
What little information we request will remain private. This is a consumer information site packed with answers. You will be able to submit questions to our experts anonymously if you choose. We have all the tools that the professionals use for research, at your fingertips.
Things to consider, solar is not voodoo! It is a proven science with a huge variable, nobody can predict exactly when, or how often into the future the sun will shine. We know it will, but nobody has that kind of crystal ball…We play averages.
Our software has many, many years of weather data for every zip code in the North State. It knows "on average" how many days, how long the days are, and all relevant weather data that can affect solar production. Then comes the science. There are many variables to consider when building a system for your house, panels, inverters, roof or ground mounts, position, permits, shade and so on and so on. We will give you as much (or as little!) information as you personally deem necessary.
If anyone tries to tell you they guarantee that you'll never have another power bill ever, show them the door ASAP! It's not possible!
This should probably be #1. Make sure it works for you! Everyone has different logic for making this decision, Be sure yours fits you.

Kye Kelley Bio: Early Life, Parents, and Education
Posted by Kye Kelley Racing on Saturday, November 10, 2018
The son of Tammy and Kyle Kelley I, he grew up on the family farm in Magnolia with his younger sister, Lacey Howell. From an early age he became interested in cars and in order to make his dream come true of owning a car, he found two jobs when he was still only 13 years old, milking cows on nearby farms and working in a grocery store on as a bagger, meantime attending South Pike Senior High School. He fulfilled his dream just two years after finding his first job, then obtaining his driving license, and his racing career was ready to start.
Before he made a name for himself as a racer, Kye worked in an oil refinery company; staring as a simple "Fire Watcher", he eventually reached the position of superintendent, and 250 people were answering to him. It took him ten years to become a superintendent, but only a few years to quit the job and focus on his own business, opening the car shop named Down South Performance, with his business partner Greg Champagne, with headquarters in McComb, Mississippi.
His first car was his friends 1965 Chevy II Nova, but then he bought his first car at the age of 15, and would travel to Mississippi or New Orleans for Da Pad drag racing. In his first race, Kye not only won the race, but also set the record, which earned him the title of being the fastest person around. As his skills improved and his popularity grew, he was noticed by a number of important figures from street racing, including Just Shearer a.k.a Big Chief, who was looking for the fastest man around New Orleans, and everybody pinpointed Key. As a result, Kye was recruited by Big Chief and was ready to race against big names such as Daddy Dave, and others. In his first race against Daddy Dave, Kye lost by a close margin, but got his revenge later as he left Daddy Dave behind in their second race.

Thanks to his success, Kye came to be featured in the reality TV series "Street Outlaws", and alongside Daddy Dave, Big Chief, Doc and others, amazed the public with their racing skills. His dominance made him popular and rich, which earned him a new car, "The Shoker", which is essentially a 1992 Chevy Camaro but heavily modified, with an upgraded engine, two nitrous kits, and numerous other customizations that made his car faster. In 2015 he had the chance to compete against 14-time world champion racer Mike Murillo at Thunder Valley Raceway Park in Lexington, Oklahoma, and won the race, but his victory was overruled as it was determined that Key left the start line before the order.
Kye Kelley Net Worth
Since launching his career and struggling in the beginning, thanks to his wins that have earned him thousands of dollars, his net worth has increased steadily. He continued to win races, and now counts his wealth in hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, have you ever wondered how rich Kye Kelley actually is, as of late 2018? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Kelley's net worth is as high as $500,000, which is quite impressive don't you think?

We started publishing a new type of document this week: Tech Briefs. These are short technical articles on trends and hot topics we get asked about a lot.
Performance and high availability. By good performance we understand the capability of a system to serve multiple simultaneous requests in reasonable time under heavy load. High availability refers to the degree of operational continuity in a system. In this brief we examine a Magnolia setup that focuses on performance.
Cloud. Cloud computing is a hot trend. In a cloud, infrastructure services are provided like a utility - think water or electricity. CMS administrators benefit from simplicity as they no longer need to know all the details of the underlying technology. Can Magnolia run in a cloud?
The briefs are also available as PDF. Print and read on your way home.

Gentle Temper Makes Their Way to WERS
Discover WERS, From the Booth :: 10.29.2018
By Sonali Anand
Ryan Meier and Marion Earley make up the Boston native band, Gentle Temper. They are in the middle of their tour and stopped to play a live set in the WERS studio filled with folk, soul, and creative vocals. WERS' Sonali sat down with them to chat.
Sonali: How did you come up with the name "Gentle Temper"?
Ryan Meier: It just fit. That was kind of it. The way we started was pretty free form with throwing ideas around. [Gentle Temper] was one of them and we were like "Wow, I would say this at the start of every show and feel okay about it."
What are your goals for the next couple of months as we near the end of 2018?
Marion Earley: We're releasing an album, and we have tours and a lot of shows so we have to just keep that going. Stay on the road for a while.
It's been a big year for both of you, what have you been up to?
ME: We've been recording a lot, writing, and working on booking more tours.
RM: We just played a smashing set at WERS 88.9!
ME: Yes! And we're nominated for a Boston Music Award this year, New Artist of the Year.
Are you excited about that?
ME: Yeah!
RM: Yeah, it's pretty surreal. We were full-boar on tour when we found out, on day four of twenty. We released our album on October 7th, and the release show, which we put together with the help of some good friends at Grendel's Den in Harvard Square, was on October 10th, so that kind of took up all of our time. We got word about our nomination and we were like, "Oh my god", dropped to our knees like "This is ridiculous", and then went right back to work.
So I know you both are from Boston. What is it like to play in your hometown?
ME: It's awesome. Boston's been both of our homes for six years now and we've spent the last two years building our name here. It feels good to be doing stuff here and to come home to Boston. It's a great city for anything creative.
RM: Marion's originally from Maine and I'm from Central New Jersey so Boston is sort of like the meeting point, and on this tour right now we just get to see our family 90% of the time. So it's been super fruitful, but also just a nice sporadic vacation seeing a lot of our folks. Coming back to Boston makes me appreciate the city, even more, every time we come back. It's sorta like the Joni Mitchell syndrome where you "pave paradise, put up a parking lot."
For 2019, what are you looking forward to? What are your goals?
ME: More tours, more recording, possibly another release.
RM: Tour forever! That's the goal.
ME: We're gonna be like the Rolling Stones, we're gonna be touring until we're 90.
What's on the top of your venue bucket list?
RM: Sinclair hands down. I think we do Sinclair then we have agreed that that's it for us. We're done.
ME: I think when we play at Sinclair we can just stop. We love the Sinclair, I think that's our favorite venue in Boston, but there are countless venues that we would play at. I'd love to play at the Orpheum too, it's beautiful.
RM: We've realized that the venue depends a lot on the people who run it. You meet a nice person who knows what they're doing, and that makes the show for you. Whether it's taking care of you in the green room or setting up real nice and smooth. Even a joke when you're super tense, you're like "Oh, right this is fun, yeah I didn't forget that." But I guess in terms of bucket list venues, I thought more about bucket list artists we want to open for. I think Hozier is my biggest one.
ME: That would be sick.
RM: *laughs* He's a little bit more eighteen piece and we're more like two piece.
Wow. Thank you both so much for coming to WERS! Good luck!

First, short reads are mapped to the genome. When SNP data are available, WASP should be used to filter allele-specific reads that map with a bias.
Next, LeafCutter extracts junction reads from.bam files, identifies alternatively excised intron clusters, and summarizes intron usage as counts or proportions.
Finally, LeafCutter identifies intron clusters with differentially excised introns between two user-defined groups by using a Dirichlet-multinomial model, or maps genetic variants associated with intron excision levels by using a linear model.

How does the news influence online activism? In this visualization below, I combine NPR news stories with data from whitehouse.gov to show how the news cycles relate to online petition signatures.
In February 2013, I attended a hackathon at the White House. My goal was to create a visualization to show how whitehouse.gov petitions relate to media coverage of petition issues. This project didn't get done during the event for various reasons, but as part of a 2013 wrap up, I decided to finally make this happen. I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to leave a comment about any interesting results that you find! Just copy the url, since it encodes the visible graph.
It's interesting to see storms of signatures as news coverage intensifies, such as for war with Syria. Other issues start out with lots of engagement, but fall off the radar quickly as media coverage shifts, as with theNSA phone metadata collection or the debt ceiling. In other occasions petitions can start with a flurry, die down, and then rekindle as new coverage returns, such as with Edward Snowden. Enjoy clicking through all the petitions and dragging the article slider around. There are definitely some nut jobs, but the in all this provides a nice way to see how new stories spur online engagement.
Note that you can click and drag on the graph to make different news stories visible. I'm just starting off with interactive visualizations, so sorry if this is not be clear!
I have a "how it was done" post in the works. The petition data comes from the White House Petitions API and the articles are all from NPR. Having multiple news sources would give more interesting results, but I don't know many other good open sources of news articles. Leave a comment below if you know some good ones! The code for this is all on GitHub too, so feel free to play around with it. The GitHub code is not a complete working example, as I'm waiting on a new bulk petition dump from the whitehouse (I got my data from scraping the API). The analysis part is there though. There are definitely some spurious articles in here that didn't actually match their petitions, but I'll be working on that as well. Hope you found this data set as interesting as I did!

Wow, my children's book Bruce Finds A Home is going to be on The Cafe TV show on Monday 9 April! We pre-recorded the segment today. I got to hang out with Mel Homer and Mike Puru who are both seriously lovely. A huge thanks to my publicist Karen from Lighthouse PR for arranging this opportunity for me.
Hmmm, perhaps I'd better start thinking about the next Bruce book?

Dead drunk policeman stripped of martyrdom
The Chinese police captain who named his subordinate a "martyr" after he died from a drinking binge has been suspended, the Shenzhen Public Security Authority said on Tuesday.
Traffic officer Chen Lusheng of the southern city of Shenzhen was off-duty when he attended a banquet with officials from Mabu village in late October. After repeated toasts, he vomited and passed out on a couch, where he suffocated, state media said.
His captain, Xie Feiyong, attempted to declare Chen a martyr, in order to get higher compensation for his family and possibly to avert any investigation into his death. He was suspended from duty on Tuesday, the Xinhua news agency said, citing the police.
The Shenzhen government information office did not immediately answer a query on the matter.
Shenzhen police told local media the policeman was a victim of China's infamous Chinese business banquet ganbei or "bottoms up" culture, where diners attempt to out-drink each other to gain concessions. They did not explain why Chen was attending the banquet in the first place.
Forced drinking is so widespread that workplace injuries regulations in the southwestern city of Chongqing were recently amended to classify deaths caused by drinking as "workplace accidents" bosses send staff out drinking for business.
Xie argued that Chen died in a work-related incident and that there was nothing wrong in wanting to leave behind a glorious legacy for his colleague.
The application for the posthumous honor was denied by the District Brigade, on grounds that Chen died neither in the line of duty nor during work hours.
Chen's family, who are demanding 4.8 million yuan ($703,200) in compensation, had camped out in the police station and set up a mourning hall there.


The Seventh Biennial Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts was held Thursday, January 30 through Saturday, February 1 at the University of Georgia Hotel and Conference Center. The theme of the 2014 program was Connections: Georgia in the World. This program is organized by the Georgia Museum of Art and featured a wonderful slate of presentations from a variety of disciplines. The museum also had many publications by scholars of the decorative arts community for sale and the attendees enjoyed perusing these works and adding them to their libraries.
Attendees had the opportunity to visit several of Athens historic properties that included the Church-Waddel-Brumby House, the Taylor Grady, House, the T.R.R. Cobb House, and the Ware-Lyndon House. The Georgia Museum of Art hosted an opening reception and invited guests to visit the fine exhibits and collections.
The lectures were presented in the Georgia Center's Mahler Hall and the topics included fashion, textiles, pottery, fashion design, and more. Of specific interest to supporters of Georgia archaeology was Dan Elliott's (President, The Lamar Institute) presentation on utilitarian earthernwares from the Ebenezer settlement in Effingham County, Georgia. He showed different areas where excavations revealed the coarse earthenware and how the percentages differed between the diverse locations. There are three individuals who may be responsible for producing these wares and they hope to learn more about who was producing these wares which features a variety of creampans and other pieces.
Clemson University Associate Professor of Art History, Andrea Feeser presented on Colonial Indigo Culture of South Carolina and the roles of the myriad of groups of people who participated in its production, who wore the blue items and who purchased and or traded the items. Her research is based on her recently published book entitled Red, White, & Black Make Blue: Indigo in the Fabric of Colonial South Carolina Life. Using primary documents she highlights the roles of slaves who significantly contributed to the production of indigo and she also includes Eliza Lucas Pinckney and the indigo plantation histories that contributed to this significant part of South Carolina history.
Although the Keynote Speaker Ronald L. Hurst was delayed due to the winter weather he was able to attend and provide his delightful talk, "Southern Furniture Studies: Where We've Been, Where We're Going," and discussed the timeline of furniture studies and the importance of collaborations with other institutions to preserve furniture and other important decorative arts. By working together these significant parts of Georgia's (and other states) rich material culture can be preserved for further research study and exhibition among diverse organizations. If you have not had the opportunity to attend this symposium it is highly recommended.

Abigail Fisher Planning Another Appeal to Supreme Court
By Mark Wilson, Esq. on November 14, 2014 8:56 AM
Opponents of the Affordable Care Act had better look out; in the battle over who's going to punch their SCOTUS "frequent petitioner" card first, Abigail Fisher is a close second.
Fisher, you might remember, was denied admission to the University of Texas at Austin in 2008 and then sued to get in, claiming the state's policy of granting admission to UT to the top 10 percent of graduating students in the state resulted in racial discrimination.
The Fifth Circuit said nope, and the Supreme Court showed marked restraint by not overturning Grutter v. Bollinger like a Lakers fan overturns a police car after a victory.
Who Decides What's a Critical Mass?
Instead, the Supreme Court remanded to the Fifth Circuit, instructing it to apply strict scrutiny to its analysis of whether the school still needed to take race into account in order to achieve a "critical mass" of diversity. The Fifth Circuit had instead given deference to university officials to make that determination.
By this time, Fisher had already graduated from Louisiana State University.
On remand, the Fifth Circuit -- this time applying strict scrutiny -- found that UT still hadn't achieved a "critical mass" of diverse students, meaning the 10 percent policy wasn't unconstitutional and Fisher couldn't get what little relief she could get by then.
She's Baaaack...
After all that, Fisher petitioned for a rehearing en banc, which the Fifth Circuit denied earlier this week. Five judges, led by Judge Emilio Garza (who also dissented in the panel decision), dissented from the denial of rehearing en banc. The dissental claimed that the panel didn't take the strict scrutiny analysis seriously because UT "fail[ed] to furnish any articulated meaning for its stated goal of 'critical mass.'"
Time for a face palm? You bet: The Project on Fair Representation, the legal fund set up to represent Fisher, announced that it would petition for cert. in the U.S. Supreme Court. Again. Lyle Denniston of SCOTUSblog notes that Fisher might be too late to get her case heard this term, but she could definitely reappear next term.
The question remains what Fisher gets out of this. She's already finished school at LSU! Believe it or not, her relief is still officially getting back her housing deposit and application fee from UT, which amount to $100. She just wants her money -- and certainly it's just a coincidence that the Project on Fair Representation is a branch of Project Liberty, which is funded by the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, and other groups that seek to promote "limited government" and "free enterprise."
So is this a purely political statement at this point? It certainly appears that way. There's essentially nothing left for Fisher to gain; as the Austin American-Statesman observed in an editorial in July, "UT didn't reject Fisher maliciously or discriminately. She just failed to make the university's cut. It's time she finally let her lawsuit go."

The festive season brings visitors to Vizag shores. Many of us have friends, family and relatives coming into town for the holidays. Sightseeing is one of the foremost objectives of the trip and Vizag as usual never fails to impress. Let us not even get started on the tourist footfalls that the season is expecting. We have you covered so do not worry. Chill and enjoy with your group for a gala time at these Vizag hotspots.
RK Beach – Starting with the very obvious choice is recommended because everyone loves sand, sea and surf. That is not all folks. Get them to sample muri-mixture, corn on the cob and other beach side Vizag delicacies. A visit to the Temple and the Submarine goes with the plan for this excursion.
Ropeway adventures – We have the spots for a bit of adventurous fun. Think Kailasagiri for the ropeway and the giant mountainside lettering of 'KAILASAGIRI' that gives tough competition to the Hollywood call sign. The idols of Lord Shiva and Parvati will impress the least of the believers. The ropeway or the stairway or the mountain drives, all are do-good fun activities.
Ramanaidu Studios with a spot of coffee – Take the trek up the hill for the most magnificent views that will leave your guests wondering why they do not stay here in Vizag. The Rama Naidu Studios has the old world tollywood cinematic charm and makes for click-worthy time.Stop for coffe and a bite at the coffee shop on the mountain top. Refreshments here will let you fuel up for the next jaunt.
Rushikonda Beach – One of Vizags 24*7 claim to fame, Rushikonda is the beach to kill all beach stereotypes. Paddleboat, kayak and more on good days and seafood available nearby are big draws here. A favourite spot for locals, watching fisherman in action will leave a memorable impression.
South India foodie joints – Who doesn't love a crispy dosa or a fluffy idli? Take your out-station crowd for a South Indian treat a la Vizag-style. Sai Ram parlor, Venkatadri Vantilu etc etc, there is an endless list of mouth watering delicacy joints. Thalis and more, tiffins and filter coffee is the way to win your guest's gastronomic heart.
Hotel hospitality with good views – The hotels in town offer views that are a treat for the eyes. The Park, Novotel, The Gateway, Four Points by Sheraton are all competent names on the list with many more. Head here if you fancy brunch or buffet or yummy cocktails. The plus to the hotel hospitality is the killer view of Vizag skyline that keeps your company while you hangout.
Lighthouse atop Dolphin Hill – Do not miss this if you want to impress my friend. The Vizag harbour which is famous all over the world is visible magnificently from this place. The channel withthe Navy and commercial ships and the boats chugging along is a happy sight. This is the best place for East-coast happiness. A trip here would make short work of visiting the secluded and serene Yarada beach or the Church atop Ross Hill.
Simhachalam Temple – No one's trip to Vizag is complete without a visit to this pious place. The devoted find faith here and the vacationers have the added delight of a scenic spot. Nowhere else close by you have such a lovely combination. The Prasadam here is super tasty and leaves one asking for more. A definite must-do on the list.
So why wait folks when you have such an impressive itinerary at hand. Go on and impress those socks off your guests. Spread the love and happiness.

The revamped-fairy-tale genre seems to have run its course. The endless Shrek films are distant bad memories, and last year delivered two — two! — Snow White duds. So it was with some trepidation that I headed out for Jack the Giant Slayer, Bryan Singer's adaptation of "Jack and the Beanstalk."
Despite a clunky framing device in which the classic story is read to children, this was a fairy-tale re-boot that mostly worked. The film expands the narrative, turning the relatively simple tale into a multi-character action-adventure comedy. There's humor, but none of the wink-wink snark that makes other recent revamps feel so pandering.
Our hero is the gangly farm boy named Jack (Nicholas Hoult), who trades a horse for some magic beans — one of which sprouts and grows straight up into the sky, beyond the clouds. Caught up in the super-sized, fast-growing stalk is Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson), who was visiting Jack's hovel on a seeing-how-the-people-live mission.
So, the princess gets stuck topside, which is ruled by nasty giants just looking for a fresh excuse to come back down to earth and snack on their favorite food: people. The king (Ian McShane) sets up a posse to retrieve his daughter. There's the good guy (Ewan McGregor), the scheming bad guy (Stanley Tucci) and assorted red shirts who are destined to be dinner. Also along for the climb is Jack, making his first quest.
The giants are big, dirty and grumpy, and their obvious CGI-ness made them less fearsome. (They're just made up of harmless 1s and 0s.) The story moves quickly through the rescue, with one especially amusing side bit in which McGregor nearly meets his end as a savory pastry.
Jack is helped immeasurably by the employment of good actors, who have the capacity to deliver the silly seriously. (The giants leader is voiced by that perennial scene-stealer Bill Nighy.) I once said I'd watch Ian McShane in anything, so I guess that includes him clumping around in gold-plated armor and staring balefully at a very, very, very big plant.

Els Folls és un grup de músics que va néixer a Terrassa l'any 1965. Fan la primera actuació a l'estudi-teatre de Ràdio Terrassa l'onze d'abril d'aquell mateix any.

A partir de  llavors i fins  a principi dels anys setanta fan moltes actuacions per Catalunya, especialment al Vallès i l'Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona. Fan pop-rock en català i el seu repertori de concert està format totalment de cançons compostes pels membres del grup. I quan fan ball incorporen cançons dels Beatles, Bee Gees i altres músics del moment.

Toquen junt a Joan Manuel Serrat, Pi de la Serra, Guillem D'Efak, Tony Ronald, Joan Baptista Humet i d'altres. També fan de teloners en la primera actuació del grup Pic-Nic a Espanya.

A principi dels anys setanta del  deixen d'actuar regularment però no deixen de trobar-se i assajar noves coses i repassar els temes antics. Van ser el primer grup de pop-rock català amb cançons pròpies, ja que els de l'època feien versions, per tant foren els precursors de grups tant emblemàtics com Sau, Sopa de Cabra, els Pets, Lax'n'busto, etc.

L'any 1995 enregistren el CD Aleshores a l'Estudi 1 de RNE a Barcelona, sota el control tècnic de Josep Maria Adell, amb equips analògics i els instruments dels anys seixanta, per aconseguir el so més aproximat al que tenien en les seves actuacions.

El CD inclou totes aquelles cançons, pròpies, que formaven part del seu repertori habitual i va ser presentat a la Nova Jazz Cava de Terrassa el 1996. L'onze d'abril d'aquest any, tres dels components del grup varen tocar, en directe a Ràdio Terrassa, les tres cançons que havien tocat, a la mateixa emissora, quaranta anys abans, en la seva presentació.

El dissabte 9 de juliol van participar en la vuitena edició del Senglar Rock que es va celebrar a Lleida, actuant en representació del cicle Acústic'2005 programat per l'Associació de Cantants i Intèrprets Professionals en Llengua Catalana (ACIC), que en aquesta onzena edició va oferir entre els mesos de setembre i desembre una sèrie de concerts dobles que van recórrer diferents localitats de Catalunya, València i Andorra. Aquest cicle va incloure la participació d'Els Folls en homenatge al seu 40 aniversari i com a grup pioner del pop-rock a Catalunya. Durant aquest cicle de concerts van compartir l'escenari amb en Cris Juanico i van actuar al concert-presentació del cicle, celebrat a l'AUDITORI de Barcelona el 30 de setembre de 2005,junt amb els cantautors d'aquesta edició (Gerard Quintana, Pep Sala, Cris Juanico, Feliu Ventura, Joan Amèric i Roger Mas).

El 29 de juny del 2006 varen actuar en l'acte d'obertura de la 11ª Escola d'Estiu del Voluntariat promogut per la Generalitat de Catalunya i celebrat als Camps Elisis de Lleida, i el dia 1 de desembre del mateix any, van compartir escenari amb en Pep Sala i Jaume Arnella en la Nit del Voluntariat a la ciutat de Girona.

Actualment, el grup està treballant en noves composicions per l'enregistrament d'un nou CD amb temes de situacions i personatges de la dècada del seixanta a Terrassa.

Membres
 Joan Calvet, guitarra i veu
 Toni Piqué, guitarra, teclats, harmònica i veus
 Joan Padrós, bateria, xiulet i veus
 Pep Casasas, baix i veus
 Josep Maria Francina, guitarra, banjo i veus

DePaul Tops Texas Tech 65-60 In OT Behind Coleman-Lands
CHICAGO (AP) — After years of futility, DePaul basketball is finally heading in the right direction.
Jalen Coleman-Lands scored eight of his 18 points in overtime to lead DePaul to a 65-60 win over Texas Tech on Wednesday night.
DePaul (9-0) is off to its best start since the 1986-87 season when the Blue Demons started 16-0. They already have road wins against Iowa and Minnesota. They also overcame an 18-point deficit against Central Michigan. Now they're building their NCAA Tournament resume with a win against the 2018-2019 national runner-up. The last time DePaul made the tournament was in the 2003-04 season.
"We are trying to exorcise the demons of the past," quipped coach Dave Leitao. "We talked about it against Central Michigan, in the past we couldn't come back from 18 so quick. Each night out we get an opportunity to erase those things that may have been part of our team, or this program years gone by, so we would like to think this is a brand new start, a brand new era."
Paul Reed added 18 points and seven rebounds and Jaylen Butz scored 17 for DePaul.
Freshman Terrence Shannon Jr. scored a career-high 24 points for Texas Tech (5-3), which has lost three straight.
Trailing 57-53 with 2:05 left in overtime, Coleman-Lands hit a 3 to get DePaul within 57-56. After Davide Moretti was called for an off-the-ball offensive foul, Charlie Moore found Romeo Weems for a back-door dunk to give DePaul a 58-57 lead.
Shannon got the lead back for Texas Tech with a 3 to make it 60-58 with 1:07 left, but Coleman-Lands answered with another 3 to put DePaul back up 61-60.
"After we made this shot, this is us, we're going to win," said Coleman-Lands. "There was no ifs, and or buts to be determined. That was our mentality."
Shannon missed a jumper with 36.7 seconds left in overtime and Texas Tech elected to foul Butz, who missed both free throws, but the Red Raiders weren't able to get the rebound.
"Coach drew up a play, I thought I could have got a better shot … that shot might been selfish because it was a little deep. (But) there was still time on the clock I could have used. I could have got closer to the basket and probably got my teammates open," said Shannon.
Texas Tech had one more chance after Chris Clarke had a steal, but Moore hustled to bat the ball away from Clarke and Coleman-Lands recovered the loose ball and made two free throws after being fouled.
"We've got to have a defense to get a stop and earn the right to right to win games like this. But give DePaul a lot of credit," said Texas Tech coach Chris Beard.
Shannon scored 18 in the second half in his homecoming and Kyler Edwards finished with 12.
Shannon, who went to high school just blocks from DePaul at Lincoln Park High School and verbally committed to DePaul before backing out, scored on a left-handed runner to give Texas Tech a 57-53 lead with 2:05 left in overtime.
"His spirit for the game is really good. Obviously, we knew there was going to be a personal challenge because he wanted to come back home and show who he is," said Leitao.
Texas Tech, which got off to slow starts in back-to-back losses led 26-23 at the half and was up 53-50 with 17 seconds left in regulation when Moretti made 1 of 2 free throws. Butz got the rebound and Coleman-Lands hit an open 3 to tie the game at 53 with 8.3 seconds left. Texas Tech turned the ball over just before the end of regulation. .
Texas Tech played without freshman starter Jahmi'us Ramsey, who missed his second straight game with a hamstring injury.
Texas Tech: The road gets even tougher for Texas Tech as they host No. 1 Louisville on Tuesday.
DePaul: DePaul was able to pull off the upset, despite getting only six points from Moore, who came into game averaging 17.1. "He had to run around like nobody's business on defense," said Leitao. "On a night where he shot 2-for-15, it was the guys that do what they do that really made up for that. We rely on him, but we don't have to have him at his best every night. We hope we do, but we're a team, a team that contributes in a lot of different ways.
Texas Tech ton Tuesday at home against No. 1 Louisville.
DePaul faces Buffalo on Sunday, which is coming off back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.

The Indian Railways said on Friday that it has decided to rename the designation of "Guard" to "Train Manager" with immediate effect, effective immediately.
Changing the classification of Trains Guard from "Train Guard" to "Train Manager" has been a long-standing demand, according to a statement from the Indian Railways.
"According to the statement, the demand was raised because the designation "Train guard" had become obsolete and that in society, the common man draws attention to the fact that he or she may be a guard in some private capacity.
Indian Railways has decided to redesignate the post of "Guard" as "Train Manager" with immediate effect.
The revised designation is more in consonance with their existing duties & responsibilities and will improve the motivation level of Guards now Train Managers. pic.twitter.com/dNSsnYormd
— Ministry of Railways (@RailMinIndia) January 14, 2022
As a Train Guard in the GSR, you are effectively in charge of that particular train's operations. This would be a perfect time for the existing designation of Trains Guard to be changed to "Train Manager," which would provide them with an honourable position without any financial implications, allowing them to also lead a respectable life in the community, according to the statement.
"The amended designation is better in line with their existing tasks and obligations, and it will increase the motivation level of Guards, who are now Train Managers," the Railways added in a subsequent tweet.
Indian Railways said in a statement that the updated designations will not result in any changes to their pay levels or recruitment methods, or to their present duties and responsibilities, or to their seniority or opportunities for advancement.
The assistant guard will now be referred to as the assistant passenger train manager, and the goods guard will be referred to as the goods train manager, in accordance with amended criteria.
Senior goods guard has been reassigned to the position of senior goods train manager, while senior passenger guard has been reassigned to the position of senior passenger train manager.


SAN FRANCISCO -- Masters champion Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler were making putts from everywhere Thursday in the Match Play Championship.
Fowler survived a tough match and secured his spot for the weekend.
Spieth rolled to another easy victory and still faces the prospect of going home Friday.
And there will be eight matches -- including Jimmy Walker against Ian Poulter -- that are meaningless.
Fowler was all square in his match with Shane Lowry of Ireland when he made putts of 15, 18 and 30 feet -- all to halve the hole -- before making a birdie on the 18th to win his second match and lock up the best record in his group to advance.
"Definitely a stress reliever right there," Fowler said.
"Must be nice," Spieth said under his breath with a smile when told that Fowler was already in the round of 16.
"After the one on No. 8 (20 feet), which was to tie the hole, he said, 'When are you going to stop doing that?'" Spieth said. "And then after I made the par putt on 14 (18 feet for a halve), I could see he was upset. And if I were in his position, I would have been very upset. Because that was bogus."
"It's going to be hard to keep making this many putts and this many birdies," Spieth said. "And I feel like I'm truly going to need that to beat him."
"It's win or go home," McIlroy said. "So it's back to the usual format."
Otherwise, the second day at TPC Harding Park brought out a strange element for match play -- scoreboard watching.
• Watson and Louis Oosthuizen each won their matches to set up a win-or-go home match Friday in their group. Watson beat Keegan Bradley, now how has lost his last seven singles matches in Match Play, the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.
• Woodland put away Poulter, the Ryder Cup wizard who now has lost his last three matches in this tournament. That means Woodland and Webb Simpson, who beat Walker, will play Friday for the right to advance.
• Thongchai Jaidee defeated Jim Furyk, and George Coetzee rallied to beat Martin Kaymer. Everyone in that group is 1-1, so a head-to-head tiebreaker will be used for winners to see who advances. That's also the case in the group with Sergio Garcia, Bernd Wiesberger, Tommy Fleetwood and Jamie Donaldson.
"Obviously, I still want to go out and play a good match and win the match," Fowler said. "In a way, it will give me time to work on stuff and ... see if we can tighten the game up a little bit."

Zebra Mussels Discovered in Isanti Co. Lake
The following is a press release from the MN DNR:
"The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has confirmed multiple young of the year zebra mussels in Spectacle Lake in Isanti County, between the cities of Princeton and Cambridge. This is the first confirmation of zebra mussels in an Isanti County lake.
Following up on a citizen report, DNR invasive species specialists found multiple zebra mussels in two areas of the lake. All of the zebra mussels are less than one-half inch in length.
Lake property owners should carefully check boats and trailers, docks and lifts, and all other water-related equipment for invasive species when removing equipment for seasonal storage.
It is especially important to follow Minnesota law and keep docks and boat lifts out of the water for at least 21 days before putting them into another body of water.
Those who transport a dock or lift from a shoreline property to another location for storage or repair may need a permit.
To prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species DNR recommends lake property owners:
Look on the posts, wheels and underwater support bars of docks and lifts, as well as any parts of boats, pontoons and rafts that may have been submerged in water for an extended period.
Hire DNR-permitted lake service provider businesses to install or remove boats, docks, lifts and other water-related equipment. These businesses have attended training on Minnesota's aquatic invasive species laws and many have experience identifying and removing invasive species.
People should contact an area DNR aquatic invasive species specialist if they think they have found zebra mussels or any other invasive species.
Whether or not a lake is listed as infested, Minnesota law requires boaters and anglers to:
Clean watercraft and trailers of aquatic plants and prohibited invasive species,
Drain all water by removing drain plugs and keeping them out during transport, and
Dispose of unwanted bait in the trash.
Some invasive species are small and difficult to see at the access. To remove or kill them, take one or more of the following precautions before moving to another waterbody:
Spray with high-pressure water.
Rinse with very hot water (120 degrees for at least two minutes or 140 degrees for at least 10 seconds).
Dry for at least five days.
Zebra mussels can compete with native species for food and habitat, cut the feet of swimmers, reduce the performance of boat motors, and cause expensive damage to water intake pipes.
More information is available at mndnr.gov/ais."

Ari Rabin-Havt: Trump's economic speech is 'standard Republican BS'
After one of his toughest weeks on the campaign trail, Donald Trump hoped to refocus the conversation by delivering a major economic speech at the Detroit Economic Club in Michigan Monday.
"The idea that [the speech] is going to completely reset his campaign — no that ain't going to happen," SiriusXM Progress host Ari Rabin-Havt said.
Trump focused on overhauling the current trade policy, plus his plan to cut taxes and radically change the current energy policy. The theme of the speech sought to draw a contrast between his "campaign of the future" and Hillary Clinton as a "the candidate of the past."
"Today, I will outline my economic vision," Trump told the crowd. "In the coming weeks, we will be offering more detail on all of these policies and the ones we have already rolled out can be viewed on my campaign website."
Trump emphasized his opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership explaining that "at the center of [his] plan is trade enforcement with China. This alone could return millions of jobs into our country. They break the rules in every way imaginable."
Rabin-Havt also criticized Trump's proposed tax plan, which includes "a moratorium on new regulations is allowing parents to fully deduct the cost of child care from their taxable incomes" as a way for Trump to "subsidize Barron Trump's nanny."
"There is nothing new, this is standard Republican BS," Rabin-Havt added.
Rabin-Havt also pointed out that the timing of the speech was rather unusual. Trump opted to speak on a "Monday during the [Rio] Olympics – it is not a day when people are really going to be paying attention."
The Agenda with Ari Rabin-Havt airs weekdays at 6 am ET on SiriusXM Progress (Ch. 127)

Steve Smith bats in the nets, expected to be fit for first Test against India.
In a huge relief for Australia ahead of the first Test against India, premier batsman Steve Smith returned to the nets and batted for some time to prove his fitness on Wednesday, erasing doubts over his participation in the historic first-ever day-night Test match between India and Australia on Thursday in Adelaide.
Smith's fitness became a cause of concern after he missed a training session on Tuesday due to a stiff back. After doing a few stretching exercises and running drills, Smith had skipped the routine football session and headed straight to the dressing room in some discomfort. Australia Test captain Tim Paine, however said it was not a serious niggle and a day's rest came as a "blessing in disguise" for the star.

Making the transition from University to a meaningful and rewarding career can be difficult and at times it might seem impossible to know where to start. For students looking to work in the media sector, it can appear especially difficult to know how to get relevant experience and how to make the contacts who can open a door to a career in Film, TV, Radio or Journalism. Luckily for students at the University of Hull, five alumni returned to share their advice and experience with those hoping to follow in their footsteps.
Organised in conjunction with Amy Jackson, Hull University Union Vice-President Activities, and Josh Baker, Torch TV Station Manager, Media Alumni Day put aspiring students into a room with alumni who had forged careers in the sector, and enabled them to ask questions and get the information they needed to help them as they pursue their own careers.
If the atmosphere on the day is anything to go by, with students and alumni contributors alike buzzing with energy, then there's no doubt that there was plenty of inspiration to go around.
The line-up of alumni contributors undoubtedly had a lot to do with the good turnout. Students were able to meet and network with Executive Producer Dan McCulloch, whose forthcoming work includes the BBC's adaptation of Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials Trilogy'; Andrew Oldbury, a Creative Producer who has worked on Holby City, Coronation Street, and is currently working on a slate of projects for film, TV and games; Lucy Coward, a Freelance Presenter and Journalist working on the radio primarily for Classic FM; and Sam Hawcroft, a journalist who worked for the Hull Daily Mail and is now owner and editor of H&E Naturist. Our host for the day was alumna Jane Bennett Powell who started out in radio, moved on to television news with BBC and Channel 4, and who currently works as a freelance communications consultant and trainer.
"I do hope the students who packed into the Wilberforce lecture theatre took away a great deal of inspiration and optimism about the wide range of opportunities available in the media today – and some good tactics for securing some of them!" said Jane.
